//------------------------------// // Chapter 5: tragic truth and disappointment bro! // Story: Fast and Cozy in Towers and Bishops // by Fast Tap //------------------------------// I woke up suddenly and heard the window that was opening, it was Sandbar. “Sandbar, what are you doing?” I asked. Sandbar looked that I'm awake “Fast! thanks, you're awake, you see, Cozy ...” “...plans something on the caverns of the school and I hadn't noticed?” I interrupted. “Y-yes Who told you?” Sandbar said. I looked back and saw a crystal root under the bed and I looked back at Sandbar “let's say, a crystal plant told me” “I need the crusaders for a plan, our friends are trapped in another living quarter, I had to fake my betrayal to get out of there.” Sandbar told me I asked confused “But why?” Sandbar said “The director of EEA took control of the school” “Please, don't tell me it’s Neighsay who are we talking about…” I said Sandbar responded “Yes, sadly” I said “That explains some things, for now, I'm going directly to stop Cozy, but as I read that EEA rule book, discriminates other creatures, what do you think will happen if he sees me at this time of the day?” “One way or another, you should avoid it, I have to go, time is running.” Sandbar said. “Don't tell me, see you!” I said After that, Sandbar goes out by the window, and I closed it so that there were no suspicions, and that reminds me of the afternoon, Cozy's gift! the gift wasted my time and prevented me from being in the walks, hiding the truth more, now I was asking why she would do all that, everything made more and more sense with her. I left the living quarter by the door and closed it, the director was watching the halls, with the help of my artifact, I became a spider, it was stealthy but slow, and I came up with the idea of ​​not going with my legs, if not swinging on the walls, I went a little faster, sometimes I fell, but luckily Neighsay didn't see me, or the times I was in his head, and believe me, it seemed that he was everywhere. The only way I knew to enter the caverns where the friendship tree was in the library, in the gate before, after a long time, I managed to arrive and enter, already in the caverns, I became a pony, and The tree of harmony was waiting for me. The tree of harmony said a little worried “It seems that in the end, you arrived” “Thanks for letting me know, every precaution was necessary,”-I looked around-“but where is that thing you showed me in the dream?” “let me show you..” the tree of harmony teleports me to the center of the cave through one of the doors and there I saw it. It was something I couldn't believe: the formation of the artifacts, the super-secret place, she used it to absorb all the magic of Equestria, I was already completely unearthed, but something I saw was that where the magic was stored, inside it was Starlight. I approached and spoke in a very low voice “Starlight! You're fine!” She looked at me with a lot of confusion, giving the signal that she can't talk to me And there I noticed “Oh no! so much magic doesn't allow the sound to come out or in! it is as if everything had focused on this formation, keeping the magic in a sphere, and now that I see it, why did I have to do the favor to help her with that and combine the formation that absorbs magic with the formation that creates a vortex that leads to limbo?” Suddenly I heard some small gallops; I turned into a fly and I stay on the ground right next to one of the pillars of the place so as not to be seen, then I saw around and I see that Sandbar and the crusaders, also arrived and hid, and then the 5, we heard the Cozy's voice out through one of the gates to where we were: “Enjoying yourself in there Starlight? I’m sorry I had to push you in, but what else could I do? You were going to ruin all my plans… you might get some company soon, if I can’t make that annoying Neighsay, BACK OFF!.... all this magic needs time to drain from equestrian before my vortex sucks into another realm, hehe 3 days can sure seen like forever huh, you know? you ponies got it all wrong, friendship isn’t magic, friendship is power, with twilight and her lackeys out of my way, all of the Equestria will bow to me! the future empress of friendship!” Cozy laughs like a maniac and puts on her head a crown of paper. My heart broke and I become a pony, and as seas crying “H-how could you?” “Fast, oh golly…”-Cozy flies a few meters from the ground “my good friend, I didn’t expect you...” “...broke my heart in this way! ?, We were a team that followed friendship, a team that has no secrets from each other, one that knew that friendship was magic; Now everything makes sense, those favors were what destroyed this friendship, those times that you asked me for things, like the time I helped you to completely copy the book of the school, when you asked me to bring people to eat cupcakes, (I look at the vortex ) or when you asked me for an artifact formation capable of absorbing magic, they were all for your benefit and have the school at your side, you just wanted to have friends to be stronger and use them for power, not to have fun with them, as you said: ‘Together, we can get through anything’ or correction, get thought whatever YOU want Cozy, today you have made me learn something, a friend can help you with things, but never pass the line, but despite everything, a friend guides you to good, I know you have your motives, but…”-I transform into a changeling, and then become a pegasus foal and I open the arms for a hug-“we can solve that problem.” “Oh Golly! I'm sorry, Fast I'm sorry for...” Cozy hugs me with pity and takes me without noticing the vortex and when she put me in it, she pushes me-“BEEN YOUR FRIEND!” Some claws come out of the magic sphere and they catch me and tries to bring me with Starlight, I quickly transform into a hippogriff and nail my claws to the ground and I said “Listen to me Cozy Glow, you may have a lot of friends, you may have a kingdom, but you will never be or have a true friend, because a friend ... NEVER ... BETRAY...”-my claws are released and before I enter the sphere-“HIS FRIENDS!” Suddenly, just before entering, the tree of harmony teleports me to another place, from everything else, I could only know that the other witnesses closed their eyes for the terrifying and unexpected end that happened.
