//------------------------------// // Day 355-Farewell, My Friend // Story: Hasbro/Square Enix Kingdom Hearts Days of a Nopony // by SonictheHedgepony //------------------------------// Day 355-Farewell, My Friend I awoke this morning feeling saddened and confused, because after what happened yesterday, I realized that now I need to know more about what I already know. Solaris was part of the Replica Program, having been created to copy my abilities...and when she left us, Discord let her go, almost like he wanted her to leave. But if he knew, why didn't he tell me before the time came? Is it because I'm the same pony? I know me and Solaris are special Noponies, but what if I'm a Replica as well? But I remember Vanitas telling me that Twilight Sparkle was who connects us. But who is Twilight Sparkle? And who am I to her? I don't know, but maybe Discord knows. I think he has a whole lot of secrets this entire time. Yet, he's not capable enough to tell me the truth about myself...but I have no other option. I went to the Grey Area to find Discord, as I figured he would be. I figured that if he didn't have the answers, then I'll find them somewhere else. I approached Discord, ready to learn the truth, if he has it. "Discord," I said. "Hey, Moondancer," said Discord, acting like there's nothing wrong. He should know that I want answers. We stood silent for a minute or two until I broke the silence. "You find Solaris yet?" "Not yet, but I'm getting close, at least." "I know, but...have you kept the truth about her from me all this time?" "Not all this time." "When did you know?" "I think...when it became obvious." I think that's the only best out of what I want. "You didn't memorize it, then?" I think it's time. "Discord...Who am I, really? Because I'm special, like Solaris. I know that. But the Organization didn't want me around anymore." "Yeah...they did do that." "Well, is it because Solaris copied my powers and they don't want me anymore? And do you feel the same way?" That was a heavy thought about him. "That's not true. You'll always be my best friend, no matter what." Why would he say that after all what had happened over the past two days? With that, my anger began to bubble up. "Best friends are supposed to be true with each other! Who am I, Discord? Vanitas said Solaris and I are connected to Twilight Sparkle. Who is that?" He didn't answer as my mention to Twilight Sparkle made Discord ponder, which is really starting to annoy me. "Tell me! Am I a Replica like Solaris?" "No..." "Well, what?" "If you really think the truth will make you feel better, it won't." That's it, I've had it up to hear with Discord denying everything. "Why wouldn't it make me feel better? I have a right to know who I am! How did I get here in the first place? Why am I special than everypony else? Where did I learn to use my magic and Keyblade? Those are the answers I deserve!" "Moondancer..." He didn't even try to finish, but I must know. "Will you tell me or not? Discord...who am I?" "Just trust me on this, all right, Moondancer?" What the hell is he saying? I lost my trust in him the moment he lost Solaris. I turned my back on him in response to his question. "I can't." "Moondancer, please..." I think it's over for me now. "If the answers aren't here, I'll find them elsewhere. Someone must know where I came from. That someone will be the only one I can actually trust." I then left the Grey Area, my search and my friendship with Discord having ended. As I was in my room, my magic was holding up a fresh apple and my WINNER stick. I feel ashamed that I didn't ask about the stick to Discord. I tried, but...there's nothing for me here anymore. The answers are out there somewhere. I'm leaving the Castle That Never Was, and I'm leaving today. After leaving my apple and my WINNER stick in Discord's room to remind him of our former friendship, I went through the various hallways of the Castle, battling my way through Dusks and Samurais. As I reached the exit, I saw Queen Chrysalis and King Sombra near the exit. "We don't accept resignations," said the Queen. How did they know I'm leaving, but don't want me to leave. However, the Queen isn't my commanding officer anymore, and neither is the King my comrade. "I don't have anything to say to you," I said. "Then it's time to finish what I should have done to that clever unicorn," said King Sombra. With a glow of their magic, they trapped my hooves inside green goo and black crystals, however, but I used my teleportation skills to free myself and used my Keyblade and my magic to create a power so great, it quickly brought them down on their knees. Knowing they won't recover in time, I walked away from them, and the Organization. As I walked away from the Castle, through the dark cityscape of the World That Never Was, I was stopped by Discord. "You made up your mind?" he asked. "Why do I have these magical abilities and the Keyblade? I must know." "You can't betray the Organization! If you dare get on their bad side, they'll simply destroy you on the spot!" "Nopony would ever miss me." I then continued on my way, knowing that Discord will miss me, although I only care for the answers I want about myself.
