A New Life 2: Return of a Hero
Chapter 1- A Sign
Two years had passed since Tyler saved Equestria by defeating Discord, but it at the same time, left Equestria to train on Earth for a bigger threat.
Twilight's POV
I was on my way back home, since Spike was in Canterlot, I had to do all of the things he usually does.
"How Spike does all these chores I'll never know" I thought.
But as I was heading home, I overheard some other ponies talking about something.
"Yeah, it was so weird, I heard that some ponies went to investigate and they came back with nothing" one pony said.
"Really, nothing, not one thing" some other pony replied.
"Well they did find something, some pony said when they got there, there was a weird yellow aura, but nopony thought it was important" the first pony said.
My eyes flashed open.
"Uh, excuse me, but where was this sighting" I asked.
"Uh, a few miles away from Ponyville" she answered.
"Thanks" I said.
"Hey wait!" she called out but I ignored.
"I better hurry and get the others, this might be evidence that…. I have to hurry" I said in my head as I made my way for Sweet Apple Acres.
Applejack's POV
I was bucking apples, but even though Tyler was gone, it still felt like he was still here, like part of him stayed here, then I heard the sound of running hoof steps, once I turned around I saw Twilight with an exhausted expression on her face.
"Twilight, what goin on" I asked.
"I...I think….I know…..where" she said between breaths.
"Calm down, now tell me slowly" I said.
"I think…I think I might have a hint that Tyler's back" she said.
My heart started to race, could Tyler really be back, it has been two years.
"How do ya know?" I asked.
"Well, I overheard some ponies talking about some weird thing that happened outside of Ponyville, and from what I heard, it may lead up to Tyler being awake" she said.
The moment she mentioned Tyler awake, a smile grew on my face.
"Then what are we waitin for, let's go get the others" I said running ahead.
"Hey, wait up" she said.
"Hold on Tyler, I'm comin" I thought.
Tyler's POV
I continued to walk down this hallway which Xara said would take me back to my body.
"Man, that was some workout, I feel like a new man, whew, at first I thought my body wouldn't be able to hold all this power, wait till the others see this" I thought.
With that, I went from walking to running, but was stopped by a dark aura appearing in front of me.
"What the…" I said.
The dark formed into the mysterious kid I faced before, but just like me, his power had risen, so did his height.
"Well, you're not exactly the first familiar face I want to see, but I guess that can't be helped" I said.
"You have proven yourself good enough for you to face me" he said out of the blue.
"Oh have I, well I'm kinda in a hurry, but if you wanna be the first person to experience this new power, be my guest" I replied.
We both got into a fighting stance, the memory of the last time we fought appeared in my mind, and we both dashed toward each other.
Rainbow Dash's POV
I was napping on a cloud, for some reason there was strange feeling in the air today, but somehow this feeling was familiar.
"Rainbow Dash!" somepony called.
I slowly opened my eyes and looked down and saw Twilight and Applejack, annoyed I wiped my eyes.
"This better be good, I was in the middle of a nap" I said.
"Oh trust me, this is good" Twilight said.
"Then go on" I said.
"Twilight here might have found somethin that might have ta do with Tyler" Applejack said.
"There are a lot of things that have to do with Tyler" I said.
"She means Tyler might be back" Twilight said.
Now I was fully awake.
"Wait, how do you know he's back" I asked.
"I heard some ponies talking about a strange thing that happened outside of Ponyville, and it had to do with a yellow aura" Twilight said.
"Well how do you know Tyler's involved" I asked.
"Think, what was the color of every one of Tyler's energy blasts or beams" Twilight said.
I remembered Tyler fighting Discord, then it hit me, they were yellow, even when he went super, he had yellow aura.
"Wait, what if it's just some of his aura leftover from where we fought Discord" I suggested.
"They fought too far away from Ponyville, not adding that they fought two years ago" Twilight answered.
She had a point, everything started to add up.
"You're right" I exclaimed
"Then c'mon, we got to get the others" Twilight said.
In an instant, I dashed to Twilight and Applejack.
"Who are we getting next" I asked.
"I guess Fluttershy" Applejack said.
"Well, her and Pinkie Pie were doing something with Gummy" I said.
"Well let's go" Twilight said.
Tyler's POV
(.com/watch?v=4FLFnaV_Q6k)
The kid laid there, beaten, while I stood tall.
"So….still think you can beat me" I said.
"How?" he said.
"Huh" I said confused.
"How did you get so strong" he asked.
Everything was quiet for a while, but a smile crossed my face.
"Because I have something to protect" I said.
Even though his face was covered, I could tell he was confused.
You see, everyone has a reason to fight, train, anything, well so do I, now I know this is gonna sound cheesy, but I fight for my friends" I said.
"What?" he said.
"It's actually a pretty interesting story, but I'm not gonna bore you with details, but to cut it short, my friends are the best thing that has ever happened to me, and I'm not going to let anything hurt them, that's why I have to hurry, there's a reason why I trained so hard to get this power, to save Equestria one more time" I said.
Everything went quiet again.
"But what if your friends abandon you, why would you fight for something that could turn their back on you" he said.
"This isn't about me right now, isn't it" I said.
He looked at me, and then I heard a sigh.
"No, you see, before I became, well this, I had a perfect life, I had friends, I had a family, I had everything a person could ask for, well one day, I got a package addressed to me, my parents gathered around to see what I got, and well I got this metallic ball, but the top and bottom were apart from each other, well when I decided to fix it by pushing the side closer together, it became a bomb, wiping out my family, but I survived, but I was given these powers, at first I thought they were cool, so I showed my friends, but once I did, they were scared of me and left me behind, I had lost everything, so that's why I hide behind these coat, to hide my face from the world" he explained.
I couldn't help but feel sorry for this guy, so I sat beside him.
"You can't be afraid to make mistakes, even if that mistake causes you to lose everything, I've made mistakes in my life, but as soon as I made them, I work hard to get rid of them, now I can't live your life for you, but I can give some advice, follow what your heart says, not your mind, trust me, I've learned that" I explained.
I then heard a small chuckle
"You truly are something else" he said.
"Thanks" I said.
I got up, but then I then extended my hand to him, he took it, and I helped him to his feet.
"Take care of yourself" I asked.
He looked at me.
"You too" he said.
He vanished just like that.
"Better keep moving, don't want to keep the others waiting" I said to myself.
Then I kept walking.
Fluttershy's POV
"So, tell me again what's wrong with Gummy" I asked Pinkie.
"He won't eat any of the food I'm giving him" Pinkie Pie said.
"Well, he seems fine, what are you feeding him" I asked.
"Cupcakes" she answered.
"Uh, Pinkie Pie, I don't think that-"
There was a knock on the door.
"Uh, hold on one second please" I asked.
"Okie dokie" she said.
I opened the door to see Twilight, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash.
"Oh, hello girls, what's happening" I asked.
"We got some good news" Twilight said.
"Good news?" I said confused.
"Oh yeah, let's just say that a familiar face is here" Rainbow Dash said.
"A familiar face, who is it, is it Trixie, is it Gilda, is it the Flim Flam Brothers" Pinkie Pie started.
"No, no, and no" Applejack said.
"Then I got nothing" Pinkie Pie said.
"Then who is it" I asked.
"It's Tyler" Twilight said.
Pinkie Pie gasped and then literally jumped off the walls with happiness.
"Woohoo, wait, I gotta go prepare his "Welcome back" party" she said before running out the door.
"Hold on Pinkie!" Twilight said using her magic to bring her back.
"What?" Pinkie Pie asked.
"We don't know if it's Tyler, but we did get a clue that he's back" Twilight said.
"What's the clue" I asked.
"His aura was seen, at first I thought it was just something leftover from when he fought Discord, but Twilight said that where they fought was too far away, plus they fought two years ago" Rainbow Dash explained.
"Oh my, then we better go get Rarity then" I said.
At that we ran to Carousel Boutique.
Tyler's POV
I finally reached a white door after walking along the long hallway, but for some reason, I couldn't stop thinking about that kid's story.
"I hope he can find peace somewhere, he deserves it, losing everything like that, even I can't imagine that kind of pain" I thought.
As I was about to open the door, something around me felt different, almost as if I was being watched, it took me a while to figure out who was watching me, a smile appeared and tear fell.
"Akahito, I know you're here" I said.
(.com/watch?v=pAnIB_Y7suM&feature=related)
A light shined in front of me, and then Akahito appeared.
"You've come a long way, I'm so proud" he said.
"Hey, I have you to thank for that, if it wasn't for you, I would probably be lying down in a pile of my own blood" I said.
"No, the power you possess has always been inside you, you were born with those powers, you were destined to be the hero of Equestria" he said.
I chuckled.
"But if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be able to use these powers" I said.
"All I did was played my role, and help you, anybody could have done that" he said.
"Yeah, but it wasn't anybody, it was you" I said.
He smiled.
"Yeah, I guess it was, and boy was I lucky to be that one" he said.
We were both quiet for a while.
"Y'know" he said.
I looked up to him.
"I know I have Xavier, and you were only training with me for a few weeks, but while you were training, you were like another son to me" he said.
I saw a tear fall down his face.
"Same here, only you were like a dad, and not a son, that would be completely weird" I joked.
He laughed.
"Well, I think it's time you got back, don't you" he said.
"Yeah, don't want to keep them waiting any longer, after all, they've waited two years" I said.
"Good seeing you again" he said.
"Same, later" I said.
"Goodbye, Tyler Walker, hero of Equestria" he said.
I then walked through the door.
Twilight's POV
"Wait, so Tyler's awake" Rarity said.
"Not yet, but we do have a good-"
"Twilight, Princess Celestia's castle, look!" Rainbow Dash interrupted.
I looked up to the castle and saw lighting forming around it.
(.com/watch?v=6_Z_vbcMR8s)
The ground started to shake, just then a huge beam of light appeared out of the castle.
"What is that?" Rainbow Dash asked.
I looked closely at the light and saw something inside it.
"There's something in the light" I said.
"What's in there" Applejack asked.
I looked more closely and I saw…..TYLER!
"IT'S TYLER!" I said.
"WHAT!" Everypony said.
"Look hard, it's Tyler, his returning to his body" I said.
Just then light dimmed.
"His awake, c'mon let's go" I said.
Everypony gathered around me and I quickly teleported to the castle.
I immediately teleported into the sleeping pod, once we got inside the pod was open, but Tyler wasn't inside.
"Looking for me" I voice said.
We looked behind us, and there was Tyler.
"Long time, no see" he said.
