The earth shook, and if it were possible the sky would be too. Smoke filled every inch of the air that wasn't already covered lava. For the second time in important history the Volcorona Volcano was erupting, and it was going hard. "You set off a volcano!? What were you thinking!? And where are all of you, weren't you inside of this thing!?" The telepathic connection between Rainbow Dash and the Princesses still seemed to be working.
"We are safe, where we are is not important. And the volcano was entirely necessary, It seemed to be a very efficient way of dealing with our mutual problem. Do you not agree with our methods?"
"It is kinda awesome...But...As part of the weather team I can't condole the use of natural disasters as a way to take somepony out. You're destroying all of the land nearby, did you even think about this plan? *Cough* "The smoke grows increasing thick as more and more pours out of the volcano.
"We care not for the land, we are grateful to you for freeing us but that is the extent of our feelings. We did what we believed was necessary to succeed."
*Cough Cough* "Well thanks for abandoning me. *cough* It's getting a bit hard to breath up here. I'd fly away, but, well I got a bit... singed." A majority of the feathers that lined the edge of the wings were damaged, even more dire some of the flight feathers were all but burnt away on the left wing making lift off all but impossible.
"Do you seek assistance?"
"No *Cough* No. I got this."
RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah, I got this." A second burst of lava and smoke shoot out of the volcano. Streams of lava snake around the area, the heat starts to become unbearable, lava bubbles pop and simmer even more smoke floods in. "You know what, Im thinking I'll take that help."
"Heh, we thought as much. We will assist you momentarily."
"I don't have momentarily!.......Well?!......Please help....It's really hot here...."
"We are ready, we will be moving you to the closest life near you, all of the changelings have fled so you should be placed out of harms way."
"Yeah yeah....that sounds good....I-I think the smoke up here....is getting....to...me..." The toxic smoke is finally to much, a last breath and then fading vision . A sheet of light envelopes the body and then they both dissapear...
The City
(3'rd person surprise)
"Sampson, man I don't know if you can hear me but there is an absolute shitstorm going on out here, whole mountain is erupting. And on top of that, the whole freaking Changeling Army is flying near us. We cant stay here, if one of them see's us we'll have the entire swarm on us. Not that I couldn't handle that, but I'd have to leave you to do it. Please man, just answer me. I don't know what to do...." You realize you're just yelling to the sky. Sampson has been regenerating the body for about 15 minutes now, and it's been a weird process to watch to say the least. In fact it almost looks like the body's degenerated. "Weird." You figured regeneration would just grow new...well everything in this case. But it's like he's making an entire new body, starting from scratch kinda. "What the hell are you doing..." You cant help but wonder what Sampson is doing, then again he didn't sound like he knew what he was doing. Looking back now this dosnt seem like the greatest plan, but so far so good, as long as nothing unexpected happens everything should be just fi-ShpAOSFOaFO- You turn your head to face the strange noise, your heart skips a beat.
"Mmmmmmph" A faint groan is can be heard You feel all of your hooves trembling. You know who this is, or you think you know. You look at her face and your mind stays blank. Is this her? Could this really be her? It's that one of a kind mane, it has to be her, probably. But why is she here now, what happened to her?
"Rainbow? Is that you? What's wrong with you?" She's definitely hurt, you can see the burns up and down her wings but that shouldn't be enough to bring her down. Something else has to be wrong with her, something that you cant directly see. "Can you hear me?" You try calling out to her again.
" *Cough Cough* Burns? That *Cough* you?" You notice a little gray puff of soot exit her mouth when she speaks. Soot? The ashes haven't even hit the ground here yet, she would of had to be right up in the eruption. What the hell is going on?
"Rainbow is that really you? I-I think it's you but I don't know, what happened to you?" Nothing makes any sense, where did she come from? She just appeared out of thin air hurt and coughing up soot.
"Volcano. REALLY HOT. Toxic too. What's up with *Cough* you? " So she was up on the volcano doing something, but isn't that where all the changelings were running from? Changelings....and Rainbow Dash....
"I remember..."
"What *COUGH cough* what are you talking about? What are you doing here?" Every connection is finally made in your mind, all the memories come flooding back in.
"I remember you. I remember you! Oh god finally! Oh my god are you ok?! What happened to you?" A surge of sudden concern washes over you as you fully realize that your caretaker/lover/friend is hurt on the ground before you.
"Remember? Did you forget me or something? *COUGH COUGH* What are you doing to that foal? Why do you got your hoof on it?"
"Huh? What are you talking abo-" There is a baby on your hoof. There is a little foal being regenerated on the end of your hoof. "What the hell!? Sampson! This is not regenerating! This is rebirth!" He isn't regrowing limbs or anything, Sampson's actually making an entirely new body!
"Oh my god....This is ridiculous. Rainbow, is there anyway you can crawl over to me? I can't move, It's a long story but this baby is Vinyl Scratch. I can help you, but if I take my hoof off of her Sampson will be stuck inside her body."
"Wha? What? Why is she a baby...? Wha- What did...you doooo...?"
"What is wrong with you?"
"Volcano gas. Kinda making my mind all jumbly. The baby, what's with the baby?"
"Um. To make a really long story short. Um, Vinyl was the Death spirit, so we killed her. Now we are un-killing her. And I just realized we lost the Doctor, not really sure where he wondered off too....But hey, where have you been?"
"You know, why don't you fix me up first?" Rainbow shoots you an annoyed look. " I'd like to be able to *COUGH* breath right, you know without coughing every few seconds."
"Id love to, but I can't move. Like I said if I take my hoof off of her I lose Sampson."
"How long is that going to take? *COUGH COUGH* This isn't getting any better you know."
"Um, Sampson said a few hours...."
"What?! *COUGH COUGH* Im *COUGH* not going to last a few hours, you know this hurts, really bad." She's right, she's badly hurt. But, you can't just leave Sampson in the body of a filly. Or can you? Leaving a Spirit of Life essence in the body of the Spirit of Death dosn't sound like a bad idea. Maybe it might fix her in the head. This could work...It will have to.
"All right, Tell me where it hurts." You lift your hoof off of the filly, right as you lose contact you feel a sharp pain in your hoof and notice a small spark between you and the Vinyl. You wince off the pain and walk over to Rainbow Dash.
"Are...you going to be ok Burns? You know you didn't have to leave him, I could of lasted this out, heh, probably." Rainbow looks up at you, you can tell she feels guilty for this.
"Im fine. After all It's my job to keep everyone alive, Im made to take hits and just keep going. Im sure I'll get by without Sampson. And he's with someone who needs him now. And what kind of hero would I be if I didn't save you? You're more important than anyone else in this world to me, so don't feel bad, It wasn't even a hard decision to save you" You place a hoof on her chest and close your eyes. You feel a warm aura surround the end of your hoof.
"You know, when you crashed here that one day *COUGH COUGH* I knew you were going to be something amazing. I was right, every level of rightness. Such a Handsome, Daring, Confident, Handsome stallion. When we get back to Ponyville, and I get a new cloud house made up, you're living with me, permanently. *COUGH* How does that sound?"
"I'd be honored, but you know I have something a little better in mind. I think Princess Celestia wouldn't mind rewarding me for defeating the Spirit of Death saving most, if not all of Equestria."
"Heh, What do you think she'd *COUGH* give for the defeat of the Changeling Queen?" Rainbow looks up at you with a cocky smile.
"Well haven't you been busy? That explains all of the fleeing changelings...You really killed a Queen? That's pretty badass." You notice most of the feathers on her wings have grown back and all of the little cuts and bruises on her have disappeared. "Heh, well we're pretty set then aren't we?"
"What about that?" Rainbow gestures over to the little filly. "It's stopped uh, growing or whatever it was doing." You look over at filly Vinyl, who for whatever reason has stopped growing since you took you hoof off of her.
"Well....um....you want to keep her?" You look sheepishly down at Rainbow. "I wouldn't mind havin' a kid, what do uh, you think?"
"A kid?" Rainbow look over at sleeping snow-white filly. "Yeah, I could get down with that." Rainbow lean up and kisses you. "So how about we get out of here? All this soot and lava starting to cramp my style." Rainbow rolls over and stands up. "Man it's good to be back in action. So what do you say we get this kid and fly out of here?" Dash raises an eyebrow and looks back at you.
You look at her and smile. "Yeah, lets get out of this hell-hole." You walk over and look at little filly, and you reach down and poke her. Her little eyes open up and look up at you and yawns. "Freakin adorable."
"Come on Vinyl, lets get out of here." You reach down and pick up your new filly and walk over to Rainbow Dash. "Well, shall we go claim our rewards? Im sure the Princess would like to hear this story."
"Im sure we're going to have plenty of storys to be telling to this little bundle of cuteness." Rainbow reaches forward pokes the filly in her belly. "You know for being Death she's pretty adorable"
"Heh, yeah. Seriously though that lava's getting close, we should get out of here."
"You know Im going to have a lot of memories here, I will never miss this place. Let's get out of here Burns." Rainbow floats off the ground and starts to slowly fly away. You take one look back at the volcano and then look down at the filly in your arms and think to yourself. I just killed you half-an-hour ago and now, you're my new kid. Life is a weird thing, and I don't think I mind being the spirit of it...
"Yeah, lets go. You to you kid." Vinyl reaches up and wraps her little hooves around your neck. "Goddamn you are adorable." You hug your new filly and look up towards the sky where Rainbow Dash waits for you. You flap your wings and fly up to Rainbow. The two of you kiss and continue flying away from the destroyed town until the three of you disappear into the clouds.
Well, that's it. 
I hope all of you reading this enjoyed it, and for those people who've been with me since the beginning, you're all the best. Seriously.

RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIFTEN OOOOOOOOOOOUT!
