Chapter 37: Things Get Real

Luna opened her eyes and lifted her head off of Sean’s bed. Luna looked at Sean who was asleep. She decided to see if he was back to normal.

“Sean, wake up.” Luna shook him.

“Go away I’m trying to sleep.” he waved a hand at her lazily.

“Sean get up this is important.”

“Fine, what do you want?” he sat up and looked at her. Luna was glad to see his eyes were purple again.

“It’s about my sister she’s in terrible danger.”

“I’m listening.”

Luna then told him about the letter and the curse on her sister and him he watched her intently the whole time.

“And then I went into your head beat you to cure you and now you and I need to find a way to cure my sister.” Luna inhaled deeply after her lengthy explanation.

“Alright, how do you purpose we help her?”

“I was thinking that you could fight her and try to drain the curse out of her while I search for a counter spell as our plan B.”

“Sounds like a plan.”


I’m heading to Celestia’s study. Luna and I had decided that until it was the right time to strike I should act like I was still under the curse. When I got to her study I opened the door and walked in.

Celestia was sitting in the middle of the room looking into a crystal ball. “You wanted to see me Celestia.”

She looked up at me. “Yes we have a security breach in the palace.”

“What do you mean?”

“Come look.” She waved me over. When I got the ball I looked into it and saw it was a view of the study at night.

“What am I supposed to be seeing?”

“Wait for it.” then almost on que Luna walked into the study. She was looking around and lifting things with her magic. Finally she lifted an old looking book with gold corners. She read a note then flipped through it for a bit. After that she dropped it and ran out the door.

“You see!? My sister was snooping around here and found some old book that must have put a curse on her!”

“What do you want from me?”

“I need you to kill her.”

“What!?”

“You heard me. I was hoping it would not come to this ever again but she may become a danger to Equestria if we let her live.” Celestia then turned and walked towards the window of her study.

Ok this is going to get out of hand really fast. Now is the time to attack. I walked up closer to her then I jumped onto her back and wrapped my arm around her neck effectively choking her.

“What. Are. You. Doing?” she gasped out. She turned her back on the window shambling around the room.

“Trying to help you.” then I began to drain her of her magic. She growled then flung her head back. Head-butting me and making me lose my grip on her neck. Then she bucked and sent my flying out the window.

The impact had gotten a shard of glass lodged into my throat. I had to pull it out. Then I remembered I was falling.
“Well that didn’t go according to plan.” I then tried to grow wings but before I could I saw Celestia fly out the window and come down at me full speed. She quickly gained speed until she had a mach cone around her. When she hit me it easily tore me in half.

A few seconds after that I smashed into the ground. I crawled out of the hole I had made as my lower half grew back. Celestia walked up to me giving a pretty nasty look.

“Well that hurt. Can you go get my legs? I think they may have landed over there.” I pointed behind her.

“You should know I don’t tolerate treason. I’m afraid I am going to have to destroy you now.”

“Can that wait till Friday? There’s a cupcake festival in Las Pegasus I was hoping to catch.”

“Shut up.” She stepped on the back of my neck.

“Don’t you know it’s rude to step on people? Geez what is wrong with ponies these days?”

“I said shut up!” she put more pressure on my neck. Here’s some wisdom for you, dirt does not taste good. Don’t try it even if your friends tell you to. This position was becoming increasingly unpleasant. Time to get out of it.

I lifted my hands and grabbed her ankles. Then I began to drain her magic. That got her off of me. I stood back up spitting dirt out as I got up. When I looked up Celestia was charging at me. I jumped over her and landed on her back again. I grabbed her ears and began to tug them to the left as well as lean. That managed to make her turn and she charged towards the palace wall. Just before she hit it I jumped off.

There was a dust cloud where she hit the wall.

“Well that was disappointing.”

Don’t get too arrogant.

Oh hey Bob, how’s it going?

Stop calling me that!

What’s wrong with Bob?

Just shut up! I can see why Celestia wanted to break you neck.

Aww that hurts voice, I thought we were friends.

Whatever, just go get Celestia and let’s go.

Say please.

NOW!

Fine whatever.

Before I could walk over to the cloud I saw a flash of light. Suddenly the air felt a lot hotter. Then as the dust cleared Celestia appeared she looked way more intimidating now though.

Her mane and tail were made of fire, she had gold armor on her head, chest, and legs, when she extended her wings I saw they had blades at the end like my guards. Her eyes were also orange with no pupils. Then she walked towards me and I saw that wherever she stepped that spot melted.

“Well this should be interesting.”
