Chapter 36: The beginning of a plan

The others gasped at my statement and how I looked. I flapped my wings and my eyes were glowing strong. "Ok now that I know he is there I can connect to that part of me and control the wings. Its weird though. Its like I have another being in me but I can't speak to them, they are just there." Celestia spoke up to that. "That is because he is just a spirit, a feeling. both of the angel's bodies are long gone. But the spirit of the feelings they fought for are in you and him. So it is a being in a way, but it is more just the power and feelings that you have in you. I must ask, are you sure you want to do this?"

I shrugged then stopped and nodded. "If it means that I will get to protect the ones I have come to love and even those I call friends from a horrid death then yes." Then Tony spoke up surprising us. "So you brought me here just to die by his hand?!" Discord nodded. "But it didn't work and that seems to be a good thing." Then Tony got annoyed as well. "So what am I to do then? just stand back and let my new friend go off to fight to his death!? And then what I get sent back to my old body just to die again?" Discord hadn't thought much about it.

"To be honest I never thought much about what would happen to you after he killed you. I made sure the spell I used to bring you here would wipe your memories of being here. Just so you none of the ones I brought here would know they were in another world or that they were killed in that world. So if I did send you back you wouldn't know you had been here, and you would be back at the moment I took you from that world. So yes I guess you would die again, but you wouldn't know it was again." Tony looked hurt and just turned to walk away.

That was the last straw. "Enough of your games Discord! I want to make a deal with you right here and now. And you will take it or I will beat you until you except it." Discord looked scared for a second then cleared his throat and nodded. "Good, I want Tony and I to stay here, in this world. Forever. Even if we die here we wont be sent back to the other world, our minds wont be wiped. We will stay here with the ones we have come to care for here. will you do that for us?" Tony stopped and looked back hopefully. He didn't want to die again and he didn't want to leave Pinkie Pie either. They were just friends right now but he was hoping it could be more in time.

Discord looked to me then around to each of the others who nodded in agreement for the two humans to stay. Then Discord noticed the sad and hopeful looks of Amour and FlutterShy and had to ask. "Do you two really care that much about him to what him to stay here forever? Even if he will out live you both in that body?" This made me look shocked and turn human from fire as the girls gasped. "Why would I out live them both? Humans only live about as long as ponies do here. and Amour should live for generations. So I couldn't outlive them both…Can i?"

Discord nodded and Celestia nodded as well as Luna looking sadly at the ground. Celestia decided to speak up. "The elementals of this world can live longer than anything else in this world. I have met ones that are older than my parents still living among the forests. As long as an elemental is not killed by anything or give up on life and starve they can live for as long as they like, which could be indefinitely in some cases. And with that angel in you…you could outlive us all." I was stunned silent. I have never expected to live long, not to old age even. But to live forever just sounded horrible.

"Yes we want him to stay." I looked to see Amour looking determined and FlutterShy nodding next to her. "He may outlive us, but until we are gone we will want to spend as much time with him as we can." Then FlutterShy spoke up. "And as long as Phillip is helping others with his gifts then he should live on as long as he wants here. This is his home and we love him and want him to stay here, and not just to get rid of that other angel. But for his sake." I smiled at my girls happily and nodded. "So do what ever you have to, to make this transfer perinate. We are staying for good. And then Tony and I will train to defeat the other guy. Is it a deal?"

I could see my look send a shiver down the creatures spine as he nodded slowly. "It will take some preparation and power but I will make it so before you face him." I nodded and turned to walk off. "Good enough for now. Celestia, could I ask for your help for a few minutes please." Then I walked back to the area that was still burned from my explosion earlier. Celestia looked surprised but followed after a nod looking worried. When I stopped in the center of the burnt area she froze in worry. "Please help me control the fire within. With all the anger I have felt today the wrong parts of me are starting to gain control. So please help me get them back under control so I don't accidently hurt anyone, or purposefully kill Discord."

I let a sigh out as I realized what I had said. "see what I mean." She nodded and I could see she had visibly calmed down. "I must admit you had me worried for a moment on your intent of asking me to come with you, but I must also commend you on your courage. Not many in any world I know of would so openly ask for help like this. So please sit and I will help you gain control." I sat down cross-legged on the ground and she sat in front of me putting her horn to my head. "I never understood not asking for help when you needed it. though in the other world most didn't ask because they wouldn't get it even if they did ask. But here I have no reservations on asking for help when I need it."

I took a deep breath. "Just like I will need help killing the other fire elemental human. Thank you for stopping me from killing Discord. And not for his sake, but for my own. And for FlutterShy and Amour's as well. The last thing I would want to do is kill him and make them suffer because I was forced to leave them. As much as I hate him right now, thank you." She spoke calmly and with a sweet voice. "You are most welcome Phillip. But I must tell you the truth. I did not know that at the time I stopped you. I stopped you because I have come to care for him. That, and I knew a kind heart like yours would soon regret killing him in you rage. And you do not deserve to hurt yourself over something he might have deserved."

I opened my eyes to see Celestia with tears in her closed eyes. Then a small smile started to form on my lips and my control came back. I hugged the mare surprising her completely. "It is ok Princess, we can't help who we fall for. I should know. And I do thank you for thinking of my own future thoughts when stopping me as well. And I may wish you happiness, but I must admit I will not come to like him any time soon." She nodded simply. "I can understand that and do not blame you for it. But I do blame him for hurting such a young filly. And I will find it hard to forgive him for it."

"You and me both Tia." Both the princess and I jumped at the voice and looked to see Discord with his hand like things in front of him with a ball of sparks in front of them. Then I noticed my friends behind him looking just as confused as we were before he spoke up again. "But after hearing from Tony here how that girl was taken care of I might be able to make things slightly better. I don't want forgiveness for making her lose it after she calmed down, that was out of line. But with what I am trying to do you may some day forgive me for bringing her here."

I highly doubted that but then the ball of sparks started to take shape. It was the shape of spark star! Discord was bringing back Spark Star!
