Thunderstorm laid still, completely still, not moving, but his head moved slightly, his eyes weakly opening, he started to feel the pain from the body that he could not move, a voice was heard to his left as he slowly turned that way.
"The plan, ruined! It's all your fault!" Eiken shouted, pointing at Thunderstorm. "Look where we are, the castle that turned poor Luna into a what the legends say today, now look at this place, ruined, just like the plan!" He turned over, seeing Thunderstorm dazed, Eiken clenched his fist and walked over, standing over him.
Thunderstorm just looked up, not able to move, the pain just wouldn't let him. Eiken grunted in frustration as he smacked a fist across Thunderstorm's face. "Everything, we have worked for, all ruined because of you!" He hit him again. "You just had to! All of the years we have planned for this, you were weak! We used you because we wanted to get to Princess Celestia, the plan would've gotten smoothly, but no, you had to be a strong man, you had to be like this!" He hit him again, falling to his knees and punching him over and over, not stopping.
Thunderstorm began to feel his body again but not enough for battle, he was too weak from the pain. Then from no where, Eiken was launched off Thunderstorm, and a man stepped over him, walking slowly towards Eiken.
"No! Not you!" Eiken backed away trying to get away. "You're supposed to be dead!" He got up, backing up still.
The man was silent, he stood so close to him, and Eiken stood there, fear was freezing his body as he didn't move, he lifted one hand, softly touching his skull. Eiken began to spas, his jaw dropped as something filled him, but wasn't clear to what it was, Eiken stopped, then fell, without a sound.
The man turned, his shadow was dark, and he was wearing gear that couldn't see his face, he slowly walked to Thunderstorm, slowly kneeling down.
Thunderstorm's heart beated faster as he began to feel scared, wondering what he would do, but all he did as speak these only words.
"When you wake, follow Luna's moon, there you will find what you have been searching for, your entire life, but only life will seek the way to frighten you to keep moving, but don't stop, what is at the end, you will not regret." He said, standing up.
Thunderstorm stuttered from short of breath, only asking him one question. "Who are you?" He asked.
"Some call me a myth, some a legend." He went over him, walking out of the castle. Thunderstorm was confused, but he slowly closed his eyes, before fainting into nothing but a dreamless sleep.
After hours it was night, Thunderstorm felt his body move and he slowly woke, he looked around, seeing Eiken's body gone, and the moon as bright as it could be, tilted in a direction. Thunderstorm slowly got up, holding his chest. "How am I alive?" He asked himself.
After regaining his senses he exited the castle, remembering the words of the man who spoke to him. He looked up at the moon, following the path to it. He didn't know what he would find, and why he had listened to him, he kept walking, afraid of the past he once knew, and seeing them.
He sighed, then a blue fire sprout next to him, making him fall over, he backed up into a tree and looked at the fire. It was his mother, standing there as she hugged her son and slowly put him down, as he walked away, a blue shadow came out of nowhere and stabbed her. Thunderstorm started panting, remembering the fatal memory, he shook his head looking down, not wanting to see. He got up and looked away from it, and walked faster.
Another blue fire sprout and he looked over, seeing kids laughing at a sad kid, repeatedly saying 'Blank Flank', he shook his head, walking past it, he looked up following the moon, feeling close to his destination. "THUNDERSTORM!" A cry for help filled the forest, it was Rainbow's voice, he didn't know if it was a fake or if it was the real thing. He took that chance and followed the cry for help, hoping it would lead him to her.
As he got there, it was Rainbow on the ground. "Rainbow!" Thunderstorm shouted running to her, then a dark mist blew up on her, causing her body to disappear, he looked up, she didn't disappear. Above him was a face in the black smoked going over him, it was a trick, he ran out the opening and kept following the moon, this time not getting distracted by things that could be fake. He kept running towards the Moon, not stopping.
As he got back on the path, the scenery changed, he was in the Changeling base, and saw him tied up and seeing the needle pierce through his skin to his heart, he remembered how painful that was, he shook his head, getting back to reality which actually changed back to, he then proceeded to run again, not stopping as he got to a Cliff, he looked down, he was close to the moon, he had to get there.
He flapped his wings and jumped, flying over there, ignoring all the painful memories that spawned before him, trying to stop him but he continued. As he got to the bottom of the Moon, he looked around, seeing a small entrance into a cave, he proceeded to walk in, looking around, seeing something that blinded his eyes from how bright it was, he covered it with his forearm.
As it cooled, he pulled his arm down, and saw a tree, looking at it, and a shadow looking up at it. Thunderstorm walked forward, looking closer at the shadow. "Everything you could ever want." The man turned around, looking at him. "One wish, is all you get, make it count." The man turned around to the tree then back.
"Hang on can I ask a few questions?" Thunderstorm asked.
The man nodded, crossing his arms.
"What happened to me?" Thunderstorm asked.
"Well, you are in a coma right now, during the collision you seemed to know that by now." The man answered.
"What.... happened to Pinkie?" Thunderstorm asked stuttering.
The man sighed. "She's fine, she suffered critical injury but she is okay, by the way her memory is fine, her friends are actually looking for you right now." He said.
"What did you do to Eiken?" Thunderstorm asked.
"All the evil in his brain has been removed, he is currently back in Ponyville, disguised." He said.
"Who exactly are you?" Thunderstorm asked.
"Ever heard of Guardian Angels?" The man asked.
"Yes, but I thought they were just legends." Thunderstorm said.
"Well, I'm just another version of you, Celestia always sends out people who have died to protect someone, but they give them one last chance." He explained.
"How did Eiken know you?" Thunderstorm asked.
"He was the one who killed me." The man said plainly. "Do you still have more questions?" He asked.
Thunderstorm thought for a second. "So if I make this wish, do I come back?" He asked.
"You come back either way, but the only thing you can't wish for is power, one guy tried wishing that and he died on the spot, now we just warn them." The man said.
"So... do I have to make the wish?" Thunderstorm asked.
"You have to be really sure, because you're already dealing with trouble, you know, two girls in love with you." The man said.
"W-What?" Thunderstorm looked over, shocked. "Pinkies in love with me?" He asked.
The man nodded. "And so does another, and you currently don't know her." He said.
"The last time I saw Pinkie was at the library." Thunderstorm asked.
"The people you were with never found you, they thought you went to the library." He said.
"What happened with everyone at Ponyville?" Thunderstorm asked.
"The war went on for a few hours while you were gone, Luckily the Elements were used and blasted them back to where they came from, they will be back." He said.
"Then no wishes, I'm sure." Thunderstorm said.
"Well then, if that's what you want fine." He said, walking closer. "Now all you have to do is wake up." He put his hand up onto his skull and everything went turned white. "They found you." He whispered.
Thunderstorm gasped awake, looking away, finding himself still at the abandoned castle. "Oh shit!" He shouted, feeling the pain again. He grabbed his arm and heard footsteps, he turned fast, seeing Twilight in the door way of the castle.
"You're alive..." Twilight sighed, walking over, kneeling down to him. "Pinkies waiting for you, but one more thing..." She said, leaning and kissing him deeply. Thunderstorm was shocked, surprised even. She pulled back and looked down, then smiled. "Just wanted that off my chest." She said standing.
"And that was for?" Thunderstorm asked.
"For breaking my window that's what." Twilight giggled.
"I don't consider that a punishment." Thunderstorm said, standing up slowly.
"I do." Twilight turned and started to walk.
"W-Where is she?" Thunderstorm asked.
"Ponyville hospital, room 293." She turned before exiting. "Don't keep her waiting." Twilight walked out and Thunderstorm just laid there, confused. But he knew where he had to go, after a few minutes he started to head there, figuring out what to say when he got there.
As he got into the hospital, he was greeted by a country girl shaking his hand. "Thanks to you, we done won the war, just wanted to thank ya. Now go on, get, she's waiting." She said, walking off.
He continued walking till he was greeted by another, but she was more civil. "My dear, I just wanted to meet you, I heard what happened to you and I just want to tell you, if you ever need a suit, let me know, the first one won't cost a thing. Now, Pinkies waiting for you, don't want to keep you." She said, walking off.
He checked in and began to continue, meeting the same shy girl that he met with Rainbow. "Uh... hi, she's... uh.. waiting..." She said shyly, leaving.
He walked upstairs and went to the room number, seeing Rainbow at the front door. At first he was shocked, he began to speak. "Rainbow I..." He was interrupted by her.
"Don't... It's okay, really, just..." She walked closer, putting a hand on his chest. "I guess I was just caught up in the moment, I never had feelings, but be good to her, she's a really good friend of mine." She kissed his cheek then walked off.
Thunderstorm turned and sighed, shrugging, and walking over to the doorway, only to run into Twilight that pushed him back out. "Just remember, I know a lot of magic, don't be hurting her." She threatened.
"Yeah... I got it..." Thunderstorm said, putting his hands up in defense.
"Good." She said, she turned and walked off.
Thunderstorm watched her walk off then turned back to the room, slowly walking in, and looking around. "Thunderstorm?" A call came from his left as he looked over, seeing Pinkie in hospital clothes and the bed sitting up for her.
He smiled, walking closer. "Yeah, it's me," He said, slowly sitting down on a chair next to the bed, slowly grabbing her hand.
She smiled brightly. "What happened?" She asked.
Thunderstorm chuckled softly. "It's a long story." He told her. "I'm just glad to be back..." He whispered.
Her thumb weakly stroked his fingers as she leaned back in the bed. "I have to stay in the hospital for a while till my back becomes fixed." She said, sighing.
"Well looks like I'm staying here for a while." He smiled.
She smiled. "Thank you." She whispered.
"No problem..." He whispered.
She looked up, blushing slightly. "I..." She stuttered.
"I love you too..." He finished for her, smiling at her.
She gasped softly, smiling as bright as she could. "But how did..." She stuttered.
Thunderstorm realized, but saved it. "Lucky guess?"
She shrugged. "Well you had the best guess in the world, and you meant it." She said happily.
"I guess I did..." He smiled at her. "So, what should we talk about?" He asked.
Pinkie then started talking all about herself, talking really fast but making a lot of sense, Thunderstorm chuckled at some of the jokes she threw at him, and he listened, enjoying every minute of it.
The End
