(The next morning)
I woke up the next morning. I was pretty tired after last night’s events with Luna, so we had fallen asleep after we were done. I looked over and saw Luna lying next to me. I smile and rubbed her side with my hand. She giggled in her sleep and mumbled,
"Stop it."
I chuckled; got out of bed, and went to take my shower. As I was walking out of the bathroom, I noticed Crissy's door was open. I looked in, but she wasn't there. I walked downstairs and found her sleeping on the couch. I walked over and sat down beside her. She stirred and woke up.
"Why are you sleeping in the couch," I asked.
"To much screaming upstairs," she said, still half-asleep.
"Oh. Heh heh. Sorry about that."
"To tired. Need sleep," she said and laid back down and fell back asleep. I chuckled and went into the kitchen to make some breakfast. As I was about to finish, I felt wind rush past me and sit down at the table. I looked over and saw Luna and Chrysalis sitting at the table, forks and knives at the ready.
"Holy shit," I said as I tried to stop the world from spinning, "How the hell do you move so fast."
"I like food," they both said.
"Too much apparently."
I brought them the food and we ate in quiet. We were about to finish when I heard a knock on the door. Crissy heard it to and disguised herself as I opened the door. There wasn't anyone there. I was about to close it when I heard a 'pop'. I knew that sound. I turned around to see...
"Celestia," I growled.
"Hello, Jonathon. So good to see you."
"I can't say the same about you," I said, "What are you doing here? And how did you get here?"
Then I notice something I should have seen right away. Her mane, instead of the normal multicolors, was a roaring fire. Then I saw something sticking out of it. HER HORN!? She had somehow gotten her horn back.
"Well," she said, "I see you noticed the difference in my appearance. I realized the only way to kill you was to... give into Nightmare."
"SISTER!!!" I looked behind Celestia and saw Luna standing there.
"Ah, Luna. I see you still defend this man."
"Sister," Luna said, "Please. Don't do this."
"NO," Celestia yelled, "YOU BETRAYED ME FOR THIS... THING!!! IF YOU CHOSE TO DEFEND THIS MAN, THEN YOU WILL DIE WITH HIM!!!"
"I'm willing to die to save my love," Luna said.
"Very well then," Celestia said, "I will just kill you both."
She charged at me and rammed me into the wall. I grabbed her head and pushed her back. She was a lot stronger than before. I pushed her away and Luna shot a bolt of magic at her. Celestia just laughed and blocked it with a shield. I drew two swords and swung at Celestia. She used her horn to block my attacks. The she I was hit with a bolt of lightning from her and flew into the wall. She turned to Luna and started shot magic at her. Luna could barely block the powerful magic. I knew we couldn't beat Celestia. There was only one way to defeat her. I dove at Celestia and tackled her to the ground.
"LUNA," I shouted as I tried to pin Celestia to the ground, "YOU TAKE CHRYSALIS AND FIND THE ELEMENTS!!! IT'S THE ONLY WAY TO STOP AND SAVE CELESTIA!!! GO! NOW!!!"
Luna grabbed Chrysalis and flew out the door. Celestia managed to push me off and stood up to face me.
"No matter," she said, "I'll just find her later."
"You think you can be feat me," I said, "I have gods power. He has made me immortal. I cannot die. You can stab and blast me all you want, but I will just keep fighting."
I didn't want to do this, but I had no choice. See, summoning isn't the only thing I can do. This is what my curse really is. I focused my power and started to change. On my back grew dragon wings. My arms covered in scales and grew extremely sharp claws. My legs grew thicker and longer. My face started to turn into a large maw with rows of sharp teeth. The last thing to change were my eyes. Instead of the normal blue eyes I had, the turned yellow and my pupils became little slits. I stood up and looked Celestia in the eyes.
"This is my true form," I said in a deep, booming voice, "You have threatened me and my family for the last time. Now, you will pay!"
I charged at Celestia and we continued our fight.
(POV change to Luna)
5 minutes after leaving
Chrysalis and I flew to Ponyville as fast as we could. Finally, we found it. We flew through the town, making our way to the library. We burst through the door and found Twilight reading a book.
"TWILIGHT," I yelled as I entered the tree.
"AHHHH!"
"Twilight," I said, "We need you and the elements to help us!"
"Why," she asked.
"Celestia gave into Nightmare and is trying to kill Jonathon!"
"WHAT!?"
"Yes. I need you to gather the elements and meet us by the forest."
"I'll get them as fast as I can!"
They ran out the door and went their separate ways. After about a half hour, Twilight and the rest of the elements were running through the forest with me and Chrysalis.
"We need to hurry," I said, "I don't know how long Jonathon can hold out against Celestia."
They continued to run until they heard fighting. They followed the sound and found the house...or what was left of it. The house was completely destroyed. And in the middle of the rubble was Celestia and what looked like a bipedal dragon. The dragon fought Celestia, but wasn't doing to well. It had holes in it from being stabbed by Celestia. Celestia also had been hurt. She had a gash along her side, but it didn't seem to bother her. They didn't notice us so I told the elements to get ready.
(POV change to Jonathon)
I had been fighting Celestia for almost an hour now, and I wasn't doing well. My wings had holes in them, and I had scorch marks on my chest. I had managed to gash Celestia but it didn't do anything but annoy her.
"WHY WON'T YOU DIE," she yelled.
I just chuckled.
"You can't defeat me. You will never hurt my family again!!"
I grabbed her by the neck and slammed her into the ground. I continued to choke her and I yelled at her.
"YOU HAVE HARMED MY FAMILY FOR THE LAST TIME!!! I WILL KILL YOU!!! THEN I WILL BEAT THE LIVING SHIT OUT OF CELESTIA FOR GIVING INTO YOU!!! I WILL DESTROY YOU!!!"
I grabbed her horn and picked her up. I was about to break it off when I heard,
"STOP!!!"
I froze and looked over my shoulder. Running up to me, with Luna and the elements behind her, was Chrysalis. She up to me and nuzzled my chest.
"Dad. Don't do this. We can save her."
"No. I will not allow Nightmare to live. She is the one how did this."
"Dad." She looked up at me, "You have to forgive her."
I looked at Celestia, then back at Chrysalis, and again at Celestia. I sighed and dropped Celestia. She laid on the ground, gasping for breath. Chrysalis smiled and hugged me.
"Thank you, daddy."
"Yes, thank you for releasing me."
I looked at Celestia and saw her horn glow. A bolt of magic shot out and headed towards Luna. I got up and dove in front of Luna, and instead the spell hit me right in the chest. I fell to the ground, barely alive. Luna and Chrysalis screamed and ran to my side. I looked up at them and smiled.
"Heh...looks like...I wasn't immortal...after all."
"No. Daddy, don't leave me again. You promised."
"I'm sorry...Crissy......I will always...be with you..."
"Jonathon," Luna said, "Please. Don't leave us."
I looked over at Luna. After taking that spell head on, I had turned back to normal. I kissed Luna.
"I will...always love you...Luna.......Don't either of...you forget....that."
I smiled at them one more time, before closing my eyes and laying still.
(POV change to Chrysalis)
Dad's chest lay still. He was dead. I had lost him again. I let my tears fall freely. Then, something happened. Me and Luna started to rise. Power flowed through and around us.
"WHAT IS HAPPENING," Celestia yelled.
Me and Luna then started to glow. We looked at Jonathon, and felt rage well up inside. Suddenly, a huge beam of light shot from our horns. The beam connected with Celestia and she screamed in pain. We fell to the ground. I looked over to where dad was laying on the ground. I slowly got up and stumbled over to him with Luna right behind me. I sat down next to him and let my tears fall. Luna cried along with me. I heard the elements crying to. Then I looked over to where Celestia lay and saw she was lying on the ground, also crying. Then, something happened. Our tears started to fly to his body. They landed and seeped into his skin. Soon, his body began to glow brightly. We had to turn our heads because it was so bright. Suddenly, I heard a gasp of air. The glow had subsided so I turned my head to look. There, sitting up like nothing ever happened, was dad.
"Miss me?"
"DAD!!!" I jumped at him and hugged him tightly.
"Jonathon," Luna said. She walked over to him and hugged him closely.
"Hey. It's ok. This time I will never leave you again."
We nodded into his chest as we hugged him.
(POV change to Jonathon)
I hugged Luna and Chrysalis close. Then I looked at the white creature on the ground. I got them off of me and walked over to Celestia. I stopped in front of her and looked down at her. Then, I held out my hand. She looked at it, then looked at me in anger.
"Why are you helping me? I'm still in control."
"Because, you may have killed me. You may have tried to kill my family and friends, but everyone and everything deserves a second chance."
She looked at my hand again, before grabbing it. I helped her up and looked her in the eyes.
"Vega," I said.
"How do you know my real name," she asked.
"I know a lot of things, but that's not the point. Vega, you need stop doing this. You are better than this. And so are you Celestia."
I saw here expression change for a second, looking regretful, but then went back to anger.
"You know nothing about what I've been through. Why I'm like this."
"Maybe. But I understand better than most. And I can help you. All you need to do is release Celestia and I can help you both."
She looked down in thought. Then, she brought her head up and looked at me.
"Very well. But I need a physical body to use."
"You can use mine," I said, "But don't try to take over. Because you can’t.”
“Very well,” she said. Then, an orange mist lifted off of Celestia and floated over to me. I nodded and the mist seemed to seep through my skin.
‘You in there,’ I asked her.
‘Yes.’
‘Good.”
I looked over at Celestia who was just standing up. She looked at me with anger in her eyes.
“Celestia, don’t try anything you will regret,” I told her.
She was still mad but she seemed to calm down.
“You said you could help us?”
“Yes. Luna, come here please.”
Luna walked over and stood beside me.
“Is there something you wanted to say to your sister,” I told her.
“Celestia. I’m sorry. I never wanted to make you feel like I betrayed you. Nor for you to think I hated you. I love you sister. I just love Jonathon as a lover.”
Celestia was deep in thought.
“I’m sorry Luna,” she said, “I shouldn’t have acted the way I did. I was just upset for think I had lost you. I’m sorry.”
Luna walked up to her sister and gave her an affectionate nuzzle.
“It’s ok sister. I did the same thing 1000 years ago.”
“Thank you.”
“Well,” I said, “Now that that’s taken care of, I believe it’s time for me to have a talk with myself.”
They looked at me in confusion.
“Vega.”
“Ohhhhh.”
We went to the castle and I went to a private area to talk to Vega.
