Twinkle Tonight

Assimilation

The strikes from earlier had me discombobulated, making my head pound and a high-pitched ringing sound vibrated my ears. My vision grew very hazy, but I didn't have any time to quit now, I still had to defeat Applejack. I often wondered how hard she could kick someone, I just found out the hard way.

She saw that I was dazed, so she made her advance. Applejack was extremely cautious when attacking. She dashed away from my field of vision, leaving an after image behind her. I dropped down to my knees and held my arms to guard my neck. In the middle of the fight, she suddenly stopped her attack, and her eyes widened. She looked past me, at something that was truly horrifying. I decided to turn around, and it hit me...

There was a large tornado heading for us, with debris slinging objects and ponies alike. Nopony could stop it from reaching us, and it picked up speed. I stood frozen in place, as my legs shook violently. I couldn't focus anymore, my head was aching. Everyone knew that their time was short, for the storm was too violent to contain. Enemies and friends alike all huddled in a group, shaking in fear. Their eyes became dark, as they all passed out from the stress.

I was the only person awake now, as I faced the storm head-on. "This feeling...it's like Death itself came to visit..." I stood on my feet, while the lightning struck several trees, turning them to ash. It began to rain fire, as the scenery went up in flames. "Flames...just like...." A fleeting memory went by, of another life, where I was normal, and in a different world. The paradise that I saw just hours before was now more resembling a wasteland.

A bright ball of white light expanded from the storm's core. It swallowed me up, along with everyone else. The ball lifted us upwards to the sky, and towards the moon. The planet itself was collapsing, as countless lives ended.

The light had stopped in space, as an even brighter creature trotted towards me.

The figure spoke, "The destruction of two, no, four universes...It is a shame to say, but it is your fault!"

I was speechless, as the figure continued, "This was what I was afraid of, no universes shall ever connect without consequence. There is but one thing that will fix this. I must erase you from existence..."

"What?!! My mission is still not over! I must restore Equestria to its original beauty! I cannot sit down while you take away these worlds!"

"You are but a mere mortal, you couldn't save them then, neither could you save them now. You are reckless, to switch with a parallel you...No, that's wrong, you are but a fragment of another. In other words, you are the missing part of someone, much like a separate personality is part of a person."

"What are you blabbering about? I thought you said that you'd destroy me?"

The figure ignored the question, as it trotted away into the light.

I woke up and saw that everyone was walking into a portal. I had no idea what was going on, as I headed towards it. The other ponies all surrounded me, and they pointed their hooves and horns at me.

"What are you doing? Traitors!!"

Dr. Whooves shook his head, "Montez, do you really want to save Equestria?"

"Yeah! Of course I do!"
"We have to turn you into a pony so you can help your other self with Discord. The job is not yet done."
"Who will be coming with me?"
"Everyone will, it will take all of us to defeat Discord, for he is insanely powerful. There is no more time left, we have to do this!"

I allowed them to change me into my stallion form, "Well Discord, I hope you're ready, because now there's two of me!"

I charged into the portal, "With everyone supporting me, I can't lose!"


(Author's Note: The FINAL chapters will be produced in Crimson Bonds, with no more splittings of stories. I sure hope that this finishes well...)
