//------------------------------// // Closing Act: Odd End // Story: My Brave Pony Starfleet Humans // by DakariKingMykan //------------------------------// CLOSING ACT “Lightning… Lightning.” Lightning could hear the voice of his master echoing. He slowly opened his eyes, and his vision became clear. He found he was in a bed in the palace hospital wing, and Starla gazing over him; the pony Starla and all his other friends were there too. “What happened?” The Grand Ruler was there too. “It’s all right, Lightning. You made it. You’re back in Unicornicopia.” Lightning felt his face and realized his was back in his pony form. He still had the Rainbow Rod. The evil Flash Sentry had been taken to prison, and the transport gem had completely run out of power and was destroyed. “Krysta! Where is she…?” “Lightning…!” Krysta cried. She had regained her normal form and hovered over to him, and him. “We made it. What an adventure!” “…One of our absolute best, Krysta!” His friends huddled around him, and welcomed him home, but they were soon told to leave by the palace physician. Lightning needed plenty of rest after traveling through a powerful inter-dimensional space warp. Grand Ruler stayed behind a moment to offer his compliments to Lightning on a job well done. “You’ve traveled farther beyond the stars than me or anyone has before, and saved two worlds from what would have been a disaster.” Lightning smiled “I did have some help.” he said as he gestured to Krysta. She acted a little shy, but Grand Ruler was still proud of them both. “Get some rest, now. I look forward to reading your report when you recover. Starfleet owes much to you, My Brave Pony.” Then he left Lightning and Krysta alone, but Lightning couldn’t see to get the events from his adventure out of his mind. It was a really strange world those humans had. “Do you think we’ll ever go back someday?” he asked Krysta. She thought that would be so cool, “But I don’t see how. The gem is gone, and we don’t know where that second gateway is located.” Lightning agreed and was prepared to face it, but he always kept in mind that as long as he continued to believe and have faith, nothing would be all that impossible. For now, he was just glad to be home. … By this point, the images had faded, and all those sitting at the dinner table were amazed, especially Lightning and Twilight, having seen that final moment at school. “So, that girl was you.” Lightning said. “Wow.” Twilight said “I can’t believe it; I actually met you before I really met you.” Spike wasn’t sure how to add that up into sense, but ignored it and continued to eat his food. “Wait…!” Krysta asked “Then, what happened between you and Flash?” Twilight hated being reminded of it, and didn’t feel like saying, so Cadance filled in for her. “Well, it turned out that the Flash Sentry from my royal guard in the old Crystal Empire; he was caught and exposed as a traitor and a thief after he failed to smuggle treasures and important secrets for himself. He was arrested, and sent to prison for life.” Twilight softly clenched her fists as she felt the grief eating at her heart. “He was just acting in love with me to keep me and everyone distracted.” Everyone felt sorry for Twilight, but she perked her head up and smiled thankfully for having more friends than one fraud. Now she had more time to practice her battle training, and get her wings back. “Oh, Nellie, this is where we came in.” sighed Applejack. Still, everyone amazed at how the story played out, and how some of the situations were almost compared to predicting the future, especially the couples. Lightning was with Starla, and she didn’t seem to mind that much if he spent time with the human version of herself. After all, they weren’t officially a couple then, and even still it was her in many ways. “I won’t label that as cheating.” Rhymey had Fluttershy, and they both felt a little embarrassed and shy, but at least they felt it together. “That was still sweet.” said Fluttershy. “It won’t ever be beat.” Her colt-friend rhymed. And their royal majesties themselves were happily married with children, though they both were concerned about the stuck up and furious attitudes their human versions started out with when no such thing ever happened with them. Shining Armor and Cadance were still a little confused as to why they had no human alterations of themselves. Goldwin didn’t have one either, but he didn’t seem to mind as he was only a statue. “I never thought so many worlds could exist beyond our own.” he said “I wish I could see more of it.” Everyone thought the same thing, but with both the mirror and the gem destroyed and the power vanquished, and no alternative ways; that didn’t seem very likely to happen. “Perhaps someday we will get a chance.” Celestia said. Her husband agreed, and gazed out the windows at the starry night skies. “Space and Beyond.” he muttered “Whatever mysteries they have to hide, will all be uncovered… with time.” All the others agreed with him, and the scene zoomed out, away from the palace and overlooking it and all over New Canterlot, and the screen faded to black! As the credits began to roll, the My Little Pony song started up again. “Wait! Hold it!” snapped Lightning, and the scene froze and the music stopped. Lightning leapt down from above, “You’re doing it again…! This isn’t Friendship is Magic. Change it up, now!” The credits restarted, this time, with Starfleet’s theme. “Thank you.” Lightning called up. (Breaks Fourth Wall) “And thank you for watching/reading!” (Unbroken) As soon as he left, the credits and cast rolled to the Starfleet song, (Skip to 1:15) …and all the while, images were shown of different scenes from the movie. Aftermaths in the human world, like Buddy Rose opening his very own Community Garden. Artie becoming a college class artist. Starla became a major astronomer and astrologist for her age. Rhymey started his own café and poetry corner, and the twins became super strong construction workers and miners. There was also a few scene of Celestia and Celesto’s wedding, and the big part held at the end...
