I started this chapter right after the first one. I will try to update ASAP. Oh and for those who don't know what an SCBA is, it is a Self Contained Breathing Apparatus, and a PASS is an alarm attached to the SCBA that sounds a warning after about 15 seconds of not moving . If the firefighter doesn't move after 30 seconds it will sound a full alarm to tell everyone that a firefighter might be down.
I couldn't believe what was going on. This had to be a dream. "This can't be happening!" I muttered to my self.
"What was all that about." said Twilight. I looked at her with a tear in my eye.
"According to the radio I'm dead." I said to her in a weak voice. I looked to my stuff and realized that the SCBA I was wearing had a large crack in it.
"What do you mean, you're hear aren't you?" said Twilight. Four of the five ponies there looked confused. Celestia however looked away.
"My name is Danny! I was in that fire! I fell through two floors!" I said to them. "I saved a brother firefighter before I fell. That was him that was talking on the radio." Celestia had a look of guilt on her face.
"I saved your soul and gave you a body that looked just like you did before the fall. I was able to replicate everything you had on you." said Celestia in a saddened tone.
"But why? Why did you do that? And how could you know I was going to die?" I said to her. She looked at me.
"I have an ability that comes to me at certain times. I have no control of it. I can see the ones in the hands of death. No matter where they are. I saved you because I saw that you sacrificed your life to save another. I have seen you at death's grasp many times before and you have always fought it until now." said Celestia. I looked at her with several mixed emotions. I tried to talk but nothing came out.
"Before I hit the basement floor I saw a bright flash before I blacked out." I said to her.
"That was me. I used my magic to bring you here because of all the good deeds you did in your life." said Celestia. Twilight looked at her in confusion. "Yes, many of the human species are violent, but there are a lot of them like Danny. They would be willing to give up their lives to save and protect others."
"How many others have you saved like me?" I asked her with great interest. She looked at me again. Suddenly her eyes began to glow white. "What is going on?"
"It's happening again!" said Celestia. The radio began to pick up frequencies again.
"Joe, what is your 20?" said the chief over the radio. "The building is starting to come down!"
"I'm in the baseme-" said Joe, cut short. In the background noise there was a sound of support beams snapping, then the loud roar of a falling building. I looked to Celestia. Her horn was glowing a very bright gold. Somehow here magic can work through universes.
Joe's Point of View -
"Joe, what is your 20?" said the chief over the radio. "The building is starting to come down!"
"I'm in the baseme-" I started to say before I was cut short by the sound of snapping support beams. I looked up and saw the building start to come down. I looked around for cover. There was none. I dove over top of Danny to keep him from getting worse. Everything became quite. I looked around and saw that I was covered in some sort of white aurora. The aurora disappeared and I saw Danny below me. I looked up and saw that the rubble had formed a cavern above us.
I was filled with thankful emotions. "Chief it's Joe, I'm alright. I'm in the basement with Danny. We are in some sort of cavern caused by the rubble." I said into the radio.
"Alright, stay calm we will get you out." said the chief. It wasn't long before the rest of the company dug Danny and me out. I was sitting in the back of the ambulance with my SCBA and jacket off. I only had a broken arm considering what could have happened. I pulled out my St. Florian pendant and thanked St. Florian the protector of firefighters. I asked him to help guide Danny on his was to an afterlife of peace. I tucked away my pendant as the ambulance drove me to the hospital.
Danny's Point of View -
I was kneeling on the floor with some tears running down my cheeks. There was static over the radio. Then something joyous happened. I heard Joe's voice on the radio. "Chief it's Joe, I'm alright. I'm in the basement with Danny. We are in some sort of cavern caused by the rubble."
"Alright, stay calm we will get you out." said the chief. I was relieved. I was afraid that Joe would die because of me. I looked at Celestia. She was back to normal.
"Did you save him?" I asked Celestia. She shook her head.
"No, I didn't. But you did." Celestia said. I was really confused. I looked at my self to notice a fading white aurora around my body. "Your spirit was what saved him. When you came here I noticed something special about you. It wasn't until now that I realized that your spirit can travel trough universes and protect those that you care about." Celestia said in a very respectful voice. I was amazed at what just happened. The other ponies stood a distance back in pure shock and amazement.
This is what I came up with after the first chapter. I thought about it for a while and I couldn't think of anything to beat that. As always comments and criticism are welcome.
