//------------------------------// // Chapter 7: last breath // Story: Fast and Cozy in Towers and Bishops // by Fast Tap //------------------------------// The plan was going perfectly, the Crusaders and Autumn Blaze managed to distract her for an hour, enough for my friends to do both things when my friends left going to the cave, I went to see how it was going to Autumn, after Autumn's class, she managed to get students away from my 6 friends, leaving everyone almost in one corner of the school, then I went to see how the crusaders were doing, but they ended up being betrayed by Cozy, ending in the shed without being able to leave, seeing that, I went quickly to a place where she doesn't would see me, but surprise, when I saw a good time, she put me in a bag until I could not breathe and pass out, when I woke up, I was in the cave with Autumn Blaze, but it was in a place I did not know of that cave, tied to a chair by s rope and only Cozy was in front of both “Did you think you could fool me Fast Tap? Golly you found out about my plan too late and I cheated you several times” Cozy said with a maniacal face and tries to take my artifact, but I give her a small spark as a threat “You can't have the artifact, only the true and best friend can have it and it's me” I respond to her Cozy said “It doesn't matter, anyway, the magic goes away and you can't do anything about it, in fact, that reminds me, thanks Autumn for telling me what they want to do! that way of taking them all to the edge of the school was Too suspicious, now just 6 left...” Autumn Blaze said before she left “I thought Fast was exaggerating about you Cozy, but as I see, you are the worst monster ever” “But I don't have nothing to worry about, I will soon go for my friends to stop your last part of your dumb plan,”-Cozy laughs and leaves with a cutie face–“goodbye!” After she left, I was trying to take the rope off and I said to Autumn “Don't worry, we'll get out of this… somehow” Autumn Blaze was moving the rope “Ugh, if I could become a Nirik, we would get out of it!” “That's it!” I thought that if I turned into kirin and then we held on to the hooves and became a Nirik, she would do it too, I became kirin” Take my hoove!” I use my artifact to transform us into Niriks and by contact we made it, and the chair and the rope burned to let us out Autumn Blaze said “New plan I will intervene in something in the plan if something goes wrong to lighten the problem, leave me like this, then I will return to normal” I transformed back to a pony “We will both go, but we must reach the center of the cave and warn our friends, but where are we exactly?” We didn't know how to get there until we heard the voices of our friends, we followed them without stop, we knew they were in the center of the cave, looking for a way to release all the magic, there were very high steps along the way, we used the high jump to reach them, then sometimes the voices changed position, to help us and not lose speed, we used the wall jumps when we could, already at that time, we already saw the center of the cave, and we hid so that we could jump into action quickly. Upon arriving, I knew that I had to use the spell if or if, it was the only way to ensure victory, I also realized that where we were, it was the arena of the end, our final destination, our friends were about to release all magic, but Cozy arrived with all the students, we didn't want to intervene, there would be worse problems if that happened, but we could hear everything: Cozy approached my friends, acting “After everything Twilight's done for you, why would you want to destroy her school?” Gallus yelled “WE DON’T! you’re the one using these artifacts to drink magic from Equestria!” “ME? We are you saw you and your claws all over them!…”-Cozy gasps-“it’ll make sense; these creatures want magic gone from Equestria because it’s the only thing ponies have that THEY don’t!” Ocellus told to Cozy “Technically there’s a magical component with Silverstream and I transform” Yona adds “And Yona’s friend’s friendship is magic, Twilight said!” I was whispering to Autumn “At the count of 3 we jump into action, you stop as many as you can, you know what I will do…” Cozy was contradicting what my friends said “And you repaid her by sending her to Tartarus on a wild goose chase so you can destroy everything she build!” I start to count “1…” “They even trapped Starlight on that t-thing!...” Cozy was kept saying “…2…” I said “WE HAVE TO DEFEND…!” Cozy said “3!”-I shouted at heart-“LET’S SAVE...!” And I and Cozy said at the same time “…THE SCHOOL!” And so the CRAZE begins, the other students were heading towards my friends, but Autumn created a wall of fire leaving many students unable to reach us, I and Autumn entered the scene to help them, but there were only a few who They were enough to catch us, Autumn broke free and without realizing the floor where the artifact formation was, leaving it with all the magic next, becoming Kirin again, my friends got scared and went to try to save her but one by one they were finishing Like her, I was the last one I tried but again the claws that concentrated the magic caught me, being in the same situation again, I had to reach the pillars that I noticed there, which were the roots of the tree of harmony, the only way I find is teleporting myself just when everything was going to end, and I succeeded, my friends, from the magic sphere, looked at me while I was making the spell, I looked at them until and my magic and my soul were transferred to the tree, when I achieved it, I noticed that I had my same pony shape and that the portal had already been opened and the magic had just been absorbed with my friends, when it was already closing, I entered to try rescue them , but as soon as it entered, the portal closed... When it closed the magic no longer existed in Equestria, the creatures became weak and useless, the potions were only jars with colors, the artifacts were only things... A conversation started with the students and Cozy Ruby, that was one of them said “They sacrificed themselves trying to save their friends! That was the most loyal thing I've ever seen in my life...” Cozy told to her “They made it themselves! There is nothing we can do now!” Thunderlight, another student added to her friend “But that doesn't sound honest or loyal or kind” Cozy said to him “Yeah, yeah. The Elements of Harmony are very important. They're just not applicable in every circumstance. And with magic gone from Equestria, I'm not even sure the Tree of Harmony will be as helpful as it once wa...” Suddenly the floor shake, sparkles appeared around the cavern, and a rainbow laser shot from the ceiling where all this happened to give just where the portal was The colors of the rainbows split and opened the portal again and the magic came out of the portal with my friends (Sandbar, Yona, Smolder, Gallus, Ocellus, Silverstream, Starlight, and Autumn) raising all the magic. I yelled “FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC!” Then the portal closes and I released all my friends from the magic sphere, my friends when leaving, they had colors similar to the teachers, then I look at myself and I had a green color around me and in the mane, then the rainbow before lifts and Keep the sphere with me, my 6 friends went for the artifacts. Gallus said “Guess our friendship is pretty magical after all.” “You said it...” I said Cozy was surprised “But what? What are you doing!?” I respond “Saving school with my friends, supporting them, never using them...” Sandbar said suddenly “I hate to interrupt, but this thing can destroy the school” When he said that the students fled, Cozy did too, but Autumn and Starlight caught her and they bring it closer to what she caused Autumn Blaze said “The time has come for you to look at what you have done” “On the count of 3, we raise the artifacts, 1 ... 2 ... 3!” Ocellus said And they lifted the artifacts at the same time, I knew what could happen to me… I approached them and said “If something happens to me or this will destroy us, I want to tell you that I love you friends, you have been my best family I ever had, I know you are the only one but you understand...” My friends said to me “Us too Fast Tap, our best friend” And from there, the sphere exploded, finally releasing all the magic…
