Chapter 1: The Last Alicorn
It was a beautiful day in the forest. The air was rich with smells of flowers in bloom and birds filled the scenery with their songs. Across a shallow stream, two hunters on horseback came through. One of them was known as Green Arrow (DC comics), while the younger was his ward/sidekick Speedy (also from DC comics).
In the background, the shadow of a horse like creature watched.
"I've got a funny feeling about these woods, Speedy. Animals that live in pony's wood tend to learn a little magic themselves, namely in the art of disappearing," Green Arrow stated.
"Ponies? You mean like Earth Ponies, Unicorns and Pegasi?" Speedy asked incredulously. "They only exist in fairy tales or otherwise used as marketing gimmicks to sell toys or to support a popular cartoon franchise. This is forest, like any other." He then turned to look at his mentor. "Isn't it?"
"Then why do leaves never fall here? Or the snow? Why is it always spring here?" Green Arrow asked.
"Global warming?" Speedy ventured.
Arrow shook his head. "I tell you kid, there's one pony left in this world and she's here. My grandmother told me on her death bed that she saw her when she was just a little girl. In this very forest. The rarest pony of them all –the Alicorn. Grandma told me that she was most beautiful creature she ever saw. And as long as this alicorn lives in these woods, we'll find no game here."
"I still think ponies are just a myth," Speedy insisted. But then he looked around, as if looking for something. "But just in case, let's go home."
Chuckling good naturedly, Green Arrow nodded. "Sure, why not? Besides, if I'm late for my date with Black Canary, she'll have my ass. And not in a good way."
They then ride out to the edge of the woods, but then Green Arrow stopped his horse and turned to face the interior of the forest.
"Stay where you are, poor beast!" He called out. "This is no world for you. Stay in your forest and keep your trees green and your friends protected. And good luck to you, for you are the last."
And with that, they leave the forest.
In the shadows of two trees, a purple equine creature watch them leave. She was a small, purple, horse like creature with a small muzzle, a star sigil on both of her flanks, with a pair of wings on her back and purple horn on her forehead. Her hair was a shade of indigo with a pink streak in the middle, her tail the same color.
This is Twilight Sparkle. The Alicorn Pony.
"I'm the only pony in the world?" She asked herself in disbelief. "The last?"
She then heard the cry of an eagle. She turned her head up to see it circle above her.
When the last eagle flies over the last crumbling mountain
And the last lion roars at the last dusty fountain
In the shadow of the forest though she may be old and worn
They will stare unbelieving at the last alicorn
When the first breath of winter through the flowers is icing
And you look to the north and a pale moon is rising
And it seems like all is dying and would leave the world to mourn
In the distance hear the laughter of the last alicorn
I'm alive,
I'm alive
When the last moon is cast over the last star of morning
And the future has passed without even a last desperate warning
Then look into the sky where through the clouds a path is torn
Look and see her how she sparkles, it's the last alicorn
I'm alive,
I'm alive
Later that evening, Twilight is wandering around in her woods, going over the events of the day.
"That cannot be," Twilight said to herself. "Why would I be the last? I mean, what do men know? Just because no has seen a pony for long enough, doesn't mean we've just vanished."
She scoffed at the idea. "We do not vanish! There has never been a time without ponies. We survived the meteor that wiped out the dinosaurs millions of years ago, for crying out loud! We are as old as the sky, old as the moon. We can be hunted, trapped; we can even be killed if we leave our forests and sanctums. But we do not vanish!"
However, doubt still plagued her.
"Am I truly the last?" she asked no one in particular.
Suddenly, a fruit bat with wires stuck to his head flew by; singing a strange song:
Yo, the name is Batty
The logic is erratic,
Potato in a jacket,
Toys in the attic,
I rock and I ramble,
My brain is scrambled,
Rap like an animal but I'm a mammal
I been brain-fried, electrified, infected and injectified,
Vivosectified and fed pesticides,
My face is all cut up
My radar's all shut up
Nurse, I need a check-up from the neck up,
I'm Batty!
He then slammed into a nearby tree. But he recovered quickly.
"It's okay! No need to panic folks! Happens to me all the time," Batty Koda (FernGully) said out loud.
He saw no one around. His head drooped. "Nobody cares about me…"
"That's not true, little bat," Twilight said kindly as she walked up to him. "Welcome to my forest."
She lifted up a hoof. "I'm Twilight Sparkle."
The tiny fruit bat then hopped over and kissed her hoof gallantly. "Name's Batty. Batty Koda."
"Have you traveled far?"
"I just blew in from jolly old Russia after visiting my cousin Bartok, and I'm making a beeline back to FernGully! But it's always nice to take a look at the uh, beautiful sights."
"Be a little more respectful, little bat. Do know who I am?"
Batty gave it a little thought and said, "You're a fishmonger! No, wait, you're a telemarketer!"
Suddenly, the wires attached to his head gave off a static spark with a loud BZZZZT! which made Batty jerk like he being electrically shocked.
"Nanu nanu!" Batty suddenly shouted. "Mork calling Orson!"
BZZZT!
"My first day as a woman and I'm getting hot flashes."
BZZZT!
"Gooooood morning Vietnam!"
BZZZT!
"O Captain, my Captain. Who knows where that comes from? Anybody? Not a clue? It's from a poem by Walt Whitman about Mr. Abraham Lincoln. Now in this class you can either call me Mr. Keating, or if you're slightly more daring, 'O Captain my Captain.'"
"Are you alright?" Twilight asked in concern.
Batty seemed to gain control of himself. "Sorry about that. It happens sometimes, usually when I'm near a transmitter or a satellite dish. You must get some pretty good reception around here. Here's some free advice: if you see a building with the words 'biology lab' written on it, don't go near it!"
"Batty, in your wanderings, have seen others like me?" the purple pony asked. "Even one?"
BZZZT!
"Run! It's a stamped!"
BZZZT!
"To live. To live would be an awfully big adventure."
BZZZT!
"You treat a disease, you win, you lose. You treat a person, I guarantee you, you'll win, no matter what the outcome."
BZZZT!
"But if there's love, dear… those are the ties that bind, and you'll have a family in your heart, forever."
BZZZT!
"Did it take you a while to come up with that one? Alright, way to go tall guy."
BZZZT!
"JUMUNJI!"
Twilight sighed. "I suppose you can't help me. But I know you mean well. Good luck with your journey home, Batty. I'll just have to try and find someone else who knows."
She began to walk away, when suddenly she heard Batty say; "Alicorn."
Twilight jerked her head and gasped. "What did you say?"
"Alicorn," Batty said seriously. "That's what you are, aren't you? An alicorn."
He then flew in a circle around her. "A fabulous horse-like creature with the body of an Earth Pony, the wings of a Pegasus and the magical horn of a Unicorn. A genuine three in one combo!"
"Oh you do know! Please, tell me if you've seen any others like me!" Twilight asked in excitement. "Somewhere in the world?"
BZZZT!
You ain't never had a friend, never had a friend
You ain't never had a friend, never had a friend
You ain't never had a friend like meeeeee!
Hahaha!
Wahahaha!
You ain't never had a friend like me, hah!
BZZZT!
"Yo, it's a fusion of jazz and funk. It's called junk."
BZZZT!
"You're a… you're a complex Freudian hallucination having something to do with my mother and I don't know why you have wings, but you have very lovely legs and you're a very nice tiny person and what am I saying, I don't know who my mother was; I'm an orphan and I've never taken drugs because I missed the sixties, I was an accountant!"
"Batty! Have you seen any other ponies? Where have they gone?" Twilight asked urgently. "Which way must I go to find them?"
Batty suddenly became very serious. "Listen, my little pony. Listen well. You can find the others if you are brave. I've only heard rumors and stories when I took rest at other bat colonies. But they all say what might have happened to the ponies of world. They passed down all the roads long ago, and the dragon Predaking ran close behind them and covered their tracks."
"Predaking? What's a Predaking?" Twilight queried.
"Nobody knows where he comes from. They say that he's a mighty and majestic dragon. However it's clear that he's not an ordinary one either; not a creature of flesh and blood. But a great, supernatural beast of living metal and cold hard iron. He pushed all the ponies to the ends of the earth, but no one knows why. Listen, listen well."
"I am listening. I am listening! Where can I find this Predaking?"
"I don't know, my little pony," Batty said. "But if Predaking hasn't found you by now, then it's a safe bet that he never will. Stay here in the forest where's safe, and don't come out."
"But-"
"I can't tell you anymore, because I don't know anything else. I'm sorry I can't help you, but maybe's it's for the best. I've still got some ground to cover before nightfall. Farewell!"
And with that, the fruit bat took wing and flew into the sunset. As he did so, he jerked on more time with electric shock.
BZZZT!
"Bye-bye, you two crazy lovebirds! Hey, Rugman, ciao! I'm history! No, I'm mythology! Nah, I don't care what I am; I'm free-eeee!"
Twilight silently watched him fly off, pondering new questions and trying to think of what course of action she should now take.
Later evening, she stood on a grassy knoll, gazing up at the stars.
"He said I could find the other ponies," she thought to herself.
"But where? Or was the story of this Predaking just another of his stories? Oh, I could never leave this forest. But I must know if I am the only pony left in the world."
She gazed at her reflection in a nearby lake.
"Suppose they are hiding together, somewhere far away? What if they're waiting for me, in need of my help?"
Batty's words echoed in her subconscious.
"They passed down all the roads long ago, and the dragon Predaking ran close behind them and covered their tracks."
She then made up her mind. She would go find them.
Whew! My first fanfic in what seems to have been forever! Hope you enjoyed it. And I sincerely hope my tribute to Robin Williams did him justice. The world will never laugh like it did when he was alive.
