My Little Pony: The Power of Pure Love
Chapter 14
A Symbol of Pure Love
Tirek had just learned about Neo and that he had the alicorn magic and he was now searching for the human boy. Twilight and her friends were also searching for Neo as well, they wanted to help Neo fight Tirek and they knew that the magic of their friendship will help them triumph. Meanwhile back at the mountain cave, Neo was finishing his training and learning how to harness his element of pure love, and his mentor was an angelic alicorn known as Fausticorn. Neo had finally learned everything he needed to know about how to harness his element and he was now ready to face Tirek, and Fausticorn was so proud of him, and she knew that Princess Celestia would be just as proud of him as she is.
Fausticorn appeared in the cave and saw Neo practicing Martial Arts moves, she said to him that his training was complete and she believed he could fully harness his element. She mentioned that he was a pleasure to train and she knew that he would succeed, Neo was ready to leave the cave to find Tirek and face him, but Fausticorn said that before he leaves, there was someone who wanted to see him.
Neo saw a bright appear in front of him for a second, right before the light faded, he heard a male voice say, "My son." And the voice sounded very familiar, when the light faded, Neo saw a human man standing before him, and the man was his father. Neo was in shock, he said, "Father?" His father said, "Yes son, it is me." Neo said, "But how, you're dead." His father said, "I am here in spirit, I see you have finally met Fausticorn, she's a wonderful advisor." Neo said, "Yes she is." His father said, "She has waited so long to meet you, all she ever did was talk about you back when I used to come to her for advice." Neo said, "She really is a wonderful alicorn." His father said, "You know, back when I used to visit Fausticorn, she once showed me this land." Neo said, "You mean you've been to Equestria before?" His father said, "No not exactly, she once showed me this land through virtual magic, I wasn't actually here, but I saw everything, it's a very happy and peaceful land, in this land, there is friendship, love, tolerance, and so many positive things, it's almost like heaven." Neo said, "Father, this place is wonderful, I love this land and I can't thank Fausticorn enough for sending me here." His father said, "I know and I'm so happy for you, you are the first human ever to come to this land, and I've heard that you have so many friends now." Neo said, "I have, they are the most wonderful friends that I've ever had, I would do anything for them and they are like a family to me." His father said, "I know son, and they are your family now, friends are your family, and all your mother and I ever want is for you to be happy." Then a female voice said, "Yes we do."
Another light appeared and when it disappeared, a human woman appeared and stood next to Neo's father, it was Neo's mother. Neo said, "Mother?" His mother said, "It's me son." Neo ran up to his mother and hugged her, she hugged him back and they reunited, Neo said, "If you and Dad are dead, how can you be here?" His mother said, "We live in heaven now and Fausticorn is an angel alicorn who now works in heaven, we see her every day and she brought us here to see you, we've been watching over you and your father and I have seen that you are a very successful boy, you are a great leader just like your father was when he was president, we have seen that you've made so many friends and they treat you like family, we are so happy for you and we are very proud of you." His father said, "We are indeed."
Then his mother said, "I'm sorry that I wasn't there for you when you needed me, I know how much you needed me, but our work in politics always kept me away, but I've heard now that you have a new mother who is giving you the love that I failed to give you, Princess Celestia is a wonderful mother, and I'm so happy to know that she is giving you the motherly love that I failed to give you." Neo said, "It's okay Mom, Princess Celestia has made my life better and she's made me very happy." Fausticorn said, "Indeed she has, she makes a wonderful princess and a wonderful mother, but I will always be here for you Neo if you ever need any motherly love." Neo said, "Thank you Fausticorn." Fausticorn giggled and said, "Now, it's time for you to face Tirek, but first, we have some gifts for you."
Fausticorn's horn glowed and a mask appeared floating in front of Neo, she gave Neo the mask, the mask was a half black and half white hockey mask, the white side of the mask had Princess Celestia's cutie mark and the black side of the mask had Princess Luna's cutie mark. Fausticorn said, "This mask represents your loyalty to Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, wear this mask in battle and you will be recognized as a true hero to Equestria." Then Neo's father handed Neo a samurai sword, Neo took the sword and said, "I remember this." His father said, "This is the sword you fought with in various battles back when you lived in the Twilight Zone, and now, we return it to you, and you can fight in battle with it again." Neo thanked his father for the sword, he wrapped the sword around him and wore it on his back like ninjas do.
Then Fausticorn had one more gift for Neo, she said, "Now Neo, we have one more gift for you, God has created pure love energy and asked me to give it to you, but you can only use it once, and the energy is in this crucifix." Fausticorn's horn glowed and she made a large crucifix appear and it was glowing, she gave it to Neo, Neo looked at it in amazement and Fausticorn said, "This crucifix has been blessed with pure love of Jesus Christ of when he was crucified and died for our sins, all that remains of the pure love of Jesus Christ is yours, but this is the only time we can help you and you can only use it one time, after it is gone, you won't be able to use it again, use it wisely." Neo thought he was going to have to use the crucifix to fight Tirek, but then he thought of something else he could use it for that was more important than the battle. Neo remembered that back when he and the ponies were at the Tree of Harmony, they were using gifts that they had gotten from other ponies that they helped change and the gifts became keys to the chest from the tree, but even though they had all 6 keys, the chest wouldn't open, he thought that the tree knew that he was part of the elements of harmony and it needed a gift from him as well and then the chest could be opened.
Then it was time for Neo's parents to go back to heaven, his father said, "It's time for us to go now son." His mother said, "Goodbye son, good luck in your battle, remember, we will always be watching you and we are so proud of you." Then bright light appeared around his parents and then they disappeared. After they disappeared, Fausticorn smiled at Neo and said, "Neo, you are the element of pure love, and you have the power to stop Tirek and Hellraiser, the power of Jesus Christ is in you, and I know you will succeed." Then Fausticorn began singing a song to Neo that let him know all about the beauty and love of Jesus ("How Beautiful" by Twila Paris), she sang with a very beautiful, angelic voice, her voice was just as beautiful as Princess Celestia's voice. Fausticorn hovered in the air as she sang her song and Neo listened to her as she sang. After she sang her song, she smiled at Neo and said, "It is time for you to go." Neo gave Fausticorn a hug, she hugged him back and he said, "Thank you Fausticorn, thank you for everything, you truly are an angel." Fausticorn said, "You're very welcome my child, now you must go and face Tirek, your friends are depending on you, and remember, the magic of friendship and pure love will always triumph."
Neo walked towards the cave entrance, he looked back at Fausticorn, she smiled and winked at him, then she disappeared." Neo had faith in himself and in Jesus Christ, and he knew his faith would help him triumph, Neo walked outside of the cave, he put on his Superman logo shirt that Rarity had made for him months ago, then he put his samurai sword around him like a ninja and he put on his new mask. Neo stood outside the cave, Mew appeared for a second and wished him luck in his battle and then disappeared.
Neo looked out at the land around him, then Neo played the Superman theme with his mind and he began flying towards the sky. Neo made the Superman symbol appear in the sky for a second as he flew and he flew across the sky like Superman. Neo was flying towards the Everfree Forest and he was going to see the Tree of Harmony. Up above the cave was Fausticorn, she watched Neo fly off into the distance, as he disappeared in the distance, Fausticorn said, "Good luck Neo, may God be with you, the magic of friendship and pure love will prevail."
