//------------------------------// // Chapter 10: The Power of the Heavens // Story: Dean's New Life // by Moon_Skritch //------------------------------// Chapter 10 The Power of the Heavens ________________________________________________________________________________ The six ponies put on their magical jewelry, Pinkie hops over to me and gives me a hug, Rainbow hugs Alex. “Good luck!” I tell them. Pinkie gives me a kiss on the cheek and hops back over to the others. Rainbow kisses Alex on the lips and flies back. They walk out there determined, the fire demon turns and laughs, “What are you going to do? Rainbow me to death?” He continues to laugh at them as the six ponies elemental jewelry glow. Alex and I look at each other and shrug and then look back, watching. The six float up into the air and light appears between them, very bright in fact, I shield my eyes in fear of them being burned out, A humongous rainbow shoots out the middle and slams into Akulatraxas The fire giant starts laughing, “Oh please, stop...It-it tickles!” He swings his arms out breaking the rainbow and causing the six ponies to fly backward almost hitting the cabin. We see them laying there, Alex and I, the little flame in me burns with rage, I look at Alex, his must be burning also, because he looks pissed. I hear Alex start to yell, “Nopony, I mean Nopony does this to Rainbow, and the others, AND GETS AWAY WITH IT!” I look at Pinkie, she's knocked out and she has a few scuff marks, the flame in me grows even more. I look at Alex and say, “Lets get this son of a bitch.” He nods. We walk out the door, open our wings and fly toward the fire giant, anger in our eyes. Akulatraxas looks at us and shakes his head, “You ponies are pathetic.” He charges a fireball and throws it toward us, we dodge it, I get up in his face and he swats at me, I dodge his attack and kick him in the face, he looks at me and says “That was supposed to hurt?” he smacks me down to the side and throws a fireball at me. I dodge the fireball and say to Alex “What are we going to do bro?” “We need to find his weakness.” he says, Akulatraxas throws another fireball at us, we dodge it and I taunt him. “Some fire demon, can't throw a stupid fireball.” We hear him growl as he starts throwing dozens of fireballs at us. Some of which almost hit us. “Dean, don't ever taunt him again.” Alex says. I nod “Sorry.” “We need to retreat.” Alex says. “He is too powerful, we can't beat him. We need to make a plan.” We take off back to the cabin, Akulatraxas taunts us, “Weak Ponies, all of you! YOU ARE ALL WEAK!” We go inside the cabin and we see the six laying there knocked out cold. I run over to Pinkie as Alex runs over to Rainbow. I hold Pinkie and she shifts a little bit, she opens her eyes and looks at me and smiles, I nuzzle her and say “Alex and I will take out Akulatraxas once in for all!” I kiss her head and hug her and lay her back down so she can rest. I look around for a simple weapon or something to use against Akulatraxas but I can't find anything, Alex walks up to me and asks, “So what's the plan?” I look down at the ground and say, “I don't know, we are too weak to fight him.” Just then the door opens and two figures come in, I look over and I see Princess Celestia and Luna limp in the room and lay down on the floor, the look really beat up. “Dean...Alex...” I hear Celestia say, “You have to...Stop...Akulatraxas...” “But how Princess, We don't have anything to fight him with.” Alex says. Luna looks up at Celestia and says “We should give them...” She pauses, “The Power of the Heavens.” She says. Everypony in the room gasps, Celestia looks at Luna and nods, “Let us call The Power of the Heavens on them.” Celestia say, then they begin to chant in some strange language that I can't even imagine how it is said in my head. I feel a strange power slowly overcome me, it feels as if I am being filled with some kind of godly power. I look over at Alex and he looks at me. The room illuminates with a white glow, then the princesses finish their chant and a loud large surge of power flows into me, almost taking my breath away. I feel powerful now, like I can do anything, I now know strange words, I look to Alex and say, “Are you ready Alex?” He nods and says “Let's do this!” We take off out the door to fight Akulatraxas once more. We come up to him and fly up to his face, “So you ready to get beat down again?” Akulatraxas taunts. I squint my eyes, look over to Alex and we both nod. “Ledus...uzbrukums!” we yell at the same time. A shower of ice and water fly past us onto Akulatraxas, He screams as the icy water makes contact onto his skin, he starts to not be able to move as the flames on him go out. “I...will...come...back!” He yells as his flames go out and he is frozen in place as a large rock. “Apturētu!” we both say, and the ice and water stop and disappear. “So what do we do with him?” I ask Alex. “Crush him, so there is a guarantee he will never come back.” I nod and we fly up and we push the petrified Akulatraxas over on the ground away from anypony or houses. Immediately on contact of hitting the ground the body falls apart into dozens of boulders. We fly back to the cabin and say “Akulatraxas is now destroyed!” All of the ponies look at us and applaud and cheer. The six elemental ponies are standing and smiling at us, they must have seen it too, because they are cheering also. Princess Celestia walks up and says “Thank you, Dean and Alex fo-” She is cut off by a rumbling sound, I run back out side and see that Akulatraxas' body is forming back together and igniting once again. My mouth drops, “H-How?” Alex says, “I thought we destroyed him!” Akulatraxas gets back up and looks at us and says, “You think a little ice and water will defeat me?” he starts to laugh. “Now, It's my turn to attack.” He flings fireballs at the cabin, I jump up and kick the fireball with my hoof back at him, it hits him square in the chest and he falls backwards onto the ground. Then an idea pops into my mind, “Hey Alex, I think we have to send him back to the Core, but this time let's make sure he incapable of moving.” I look to the six ponies and say, “I have an idea and we might need the Elements of Harmony to do it.” They all nod. All eight of us go out there as Akulatraxas is standing up, “You ponies are really starting to piss me off.” he says in a low voice, gritting his teeth. I already told the girls the plan and they know it will work. “Wait for him to be totally frozen then, do your thing.” they nod once more. Alex and I fly up and say the words again “Ledus...uzbrukums!” the ice and water come back and hit Akulatraxas once more, “Really same spell guys? You know I will just defrost and come back!” he says laughing. “Not this time.” I say. “Now girls!” A light appears between them and a rainbow shoots out of the middle and hits the ground opening it. “Wait... No... Not the core...NOT AGAIN!” he says as he freezes completely once more. The hole is open and we go around and shove the frozen fire giant into the hole. We watch as the statue falls and disappears. The hole closes as the girls land back onto the ground and the light fades, we land back on the ground also. We all let out a breath at the same time, I look around at the mess and say to Alex “Should we use a spell to fix up this mess?” He nods and we both say, “Restaurācija!”, All the buildings glow a light purple and everything goes back to the way it was, the ground is repaired and the town turns back to the way it was before the attack, it looked as if nothing happened. The glow fades and we float back to the ground. Everypony walks out and congratulates us by cheering and yelling our name. The Princesses walk over to us and say, “It's time to return The Power of the Heavens back.” We nod and they begin to chant again. The power leaves us and it makes me dizzy, as they finish their last words I fall down and see nothing but darkness. The human me walks out of the darkness and looks down at me and says, “You are a hero, now here comes the question. Do you want to go back to the main world or stay here?” “What kind of question is that? Of course I will stay here, this world is so much better than our own.” I say, “Why would you think I would want to go back?” “You completed your task here, you saved Equestria from danger, that was your main purpose, now that the evil is gone, you can go back to the main world.” I look up at him and say, “No, I won't go back, I am happy here and so is Alex, I never want to go back to that corrupted world, Equestria is a better place.” The human me sighs and says “Okay then. Well, until we meet again, farewell.” He backs into the Darkness and everything fades. I am hearing a small crying sound, I open my eyes slowly and look over and see a sad Pinkie, “Pinkie?” I manage to say. She looks up and eyes widen, “Dean?” I smile at her and her hair poofs up and she runs over to me and hugs me and says “Oh my gosh Dean! I thought you were never going to wake up!” “What happened? How long was I out?” “A few weeks, you're in the hospital, We thought something bad happened to you after the Powers left, we kept you at Twi's house for a while but then we thought we should put you in the hospital, because you weren't waking up for anything. I have stayed by your side this whole time talking to you hoping you would wake up one day. Now you're awake and I'm happy!” Pinkie giggles and hugs me tight, almost too tight, but I don't say anything, I just hug back. “I'll go get the nurse and tell her you are awake.” I lay there and then Pinkie hops back in, followed by a nurse, “Ah, you have awoken Dean. We should probably let your friends know.” the nurse says, “I'll go call your friends.” the nurse walks out and goes to her desk. Pinkie smiles at me and hugs me again, “I missed you so much Dean.” “I missed you too Pinkie.” She then plants a kiss on my lips and holds it there for a moment. After about a minute she pulls away, I hug her again. (end of chapter 10)
