//------------------------------// // Pulled into equestria part 6 // Story: Pulled into Equestria: The fallen star // by TimeLordStudios //------------------------------// Luna grasped the letter with her magic bringing it close enough to read. "...What is this... This couldn't be real...it can't..." Luna said with tears falling from her eyes "Please tell me, miss sparkle. Please tell me that this letter is fake." "I wish it was... But maybe she-" Twilight said trying to reason with the distressed alicorn but was cut off. "Maybe what! That she's innocent, that she's only trying to protect her subjects." "She very well could be!" Twilight yelled back at her, forgetting about the sleeping pony behind her. "You should know. You'd do anything to protect your subjects, especially now..." Upon hearing those words Luna's expression had changed from anger and confusion to a 'calm' seemingly lost in thought. "...No pony knows the full truth... Of that faithful day." Luna stated seemingly out of nowhere though to her, she knows how relevant it really is. "What do you mean, by that faithful day?" Twilight asked as all of her anger mysteriously vanishes. Upon hearing those words. "The day I..." Luna stopped to regain her composure. "The day I turned into nightmare moon." Luna said solemnly. "I was only trying to protect them from the nightmare if... If I didn't give in to it. It would of killed many innocent ponies I was stuck with an impossible choice it was. Either fall into darkness or watch my subjects be slaughtered mercilessly...It's clear what path I took... I sacrificed myself to save them." Luna said as she saw a tear run down twilight's face. "I...I'm sorry I didn't know... I didn't mean to make you relive that experience of a choice that nopony should have to make." "It's alright, Twilight Sparkle, I needed that...I have been holding that in for far to long. Come we shouldn't leave my sister waiting. We can complain about her antics some other time." Meanwhile in the royal thrown room... "Oh what was I thinking." Celestia said contemplating her past and most recent decisions. "She is surly going to ask Luna about it...Luna and Twilight will see me as a monster." She said starting to breakdown... however before she could do so their was a sound at the door. "Co...Come in." She said hesitantly fearing that they had already arrived. As the door opens her fear was confirmed as she saw the angry looks the both of them gave her. But they didn't say a word even after they had placed him onto the bed. They just stared at her with anger in their eyes. As time passed they just stood their waiting for somepony to make the first move. " I...I-" Celestia started but was rudely cut off by Twilight. "I did what you asked of me... Though I am not proud no one bid!" Twilight said as the anger left with those words. As well when she saw the terrified look on Celestia's face. "But not only that... The worst part is that He...He..." Twilight said but had cut off early to regain her composure "He somehow knew." As those words left Twilight's mouth Celestia had collapsed onto the floor crying. Twilight seeing her former mentor like this had hurt her but she couldn't decide with hurt more this or the betrayal of trust. "I... I'm sorry This is the second time I've made an unethical decision... I regretted it right after I sent the letter but by then it was to late." She said as she continued to sob on the floor "The first was banishing Luna..." "Celly." Luna said with the same look in her eyes. "Sister please forgive me I...I" "I understand...And I forgive you as you had for me. Though there is something I need to tell you but it can wait until later." "As long as you don't preform vivisection on him I'll forgive you too." Twilight added in. "Thank you." She said as she raised herself off of the floor. "Even though I don't deserve it thank you..." She said as the tears stopped falling and she regained composure. Then and only then the words that Twilight had said had finally registered fully in her mind. "How do you know of Vivisection! That is an forbidden study, Twilight." "I'm sorry I didn't know..." Twilight said starting to panic. "Just tell me." Celestia said regaining her regality. "Well alright... He told me though hesitant to do so..." She waited for celestia to respond but was only motioned to continue. "We were just talking on the train ride here. when he started getting sleepy due to the magical narcotics YOU had me use on him. Then he stated what he knew about the 'others' as he calls them, when they came to visit you. Basically if what he says is true then the multiverse theory is no longer a theory. I'll tell you the rest later after the tests but promise me you will not do that to him.." "I promise Twilight. all that will be done is a blood test and make sure he is vaccinated for a pony diseases as well as a physical, psychological and magical exam. now sister may you help me plug him up to the machines." she said as her horn lit up starting all the proper machinery with Luna falling shortly behind do to having to carefully apply the IV and the other medical equipment to him. "Resting heart rate seems good...blood pressure is above average 138 over 84 stage one hypertension. Twilight, I know it may be to early to tell but do you know if he suffers from any form anxiety." "Yes...Yes he does in fact, starlight accidentally gave him a panic attack though I wasn't there at the time it happened I saw the aftermath. I don't think I had ever seen anypony shed that many tears before in my life. though he acted fine afterwards I knew it was still troubling him. Even if he wouldn't admit to it." "Good to know. Now we can get him on proper meds to help his condition." She said as she jotted it down on a piece of paper." His magic... he has...oh dear..." "What is it Celestia? what is wrong with his magic." Twilight asked worried. "It has a faint trace of dark magic hidden within." Celestia stated as she jotted the alarming new info down. "Twilight when was the last time he had used his magic to your knowledge." she asked "On the train... After he..." she said visibly shuttering at the memory "After he brought up the forbidden topic he used his magic to open the windows to let some fresh air in after I... I threw up. shortly afterwords he had passed out." "But why did he even bring it up in the first place!" "I told you he stated what happened to 'the others'... He told me that he was nervous about meeting you. After that; This is were things got weird..." "What do you mean about that?" Celestia asked while Luna's expression turned to one of curiosity. "Do you remember when I said he Somehow knew. Well that happened after he said that. This is what he had told me in his own words in... In the alternate universes they resort to drugging and vivisection. I'm glad that I came through as a pony and not as a human the vivisection only happens to the humans to see the differences between human anatomy and pony anatomy..." "That is what I meant when I said he knew. As he literally had just stated what had happened. You had me drug him and he had a worry that it was going to happen." "Sister I think the insight he possesses could be quite dangerous if he can literally have a hunch that something like that could happen after it had actually happened. If he were to harness and master that feeling he could always know when he has been wronged and from what I've seen in his dreams for those who wrong him and don't own up to it. when he finds out... lets just say it's bad news from them." "What do you mean by that? Have you looked through his memories? What happens when he finds out.-" Twilight asked not giving enough time for an answer. "He... Lets just say he gets really mad and the grudge never goes away." Luna said simplifying what happens to those who wrong him. "Lets just hope that when he wakes up we will have enough time to explain why we did it And hope that it will be enough."
