Title: Dead Space 3 Ending Ponified, Ponies Versus Brother Moon
Premise: MLP: FIM, Dead Space. Two parts. First, a Brother Moon encroaches on the planet Equestria is on, ready to strike, but it's about to see that a certain Alicorn stands in his way.
Later, Twilight and Trixie have been fighting a Brother Moon, a Necromorph God, and are about to finish the job by activating a machine that will destroy it once and for all.

Personal Comments: Jeez! It's been so long since I've written a drabble here! It's been almost a month! I've barely been on this site at all in fact! It's just that I've been so busy with school lately. The heats really coming down with finals and end-of-the-year projects and stuff. I've been trying to focus on that stuff as much as I can. I'm just taking a short little break here.
I've come up with quite a few drabble ideas that I'd like to post here. I've also been sad about all the stories I've got that I still have to work on. There's so many! Been ignoring quite a few messages from friends that I've tried to answer to today. Been seeing a lot of fan-animations for MLP, like ToucanLDM's Joker Meets MLP, which was a lot of fun! And browsing MLP stories on fimfiction still.
There's also this one by SillyFillyStudios. First there's Snowdrop, which was awesome, and there's also Luna singing "Daylight's End" from League of Legends. The latter is pretty damn chilling! The song is both chilling and beautiful. SFS is awesome! And then there's "Sombra", a song by Drowning in Footwear, which is a great song!
There's actually this one story I've found called "Solitary Locust" by the parasprite. It's fantastic, even though Twilight does suffer a lot in it, and it is very long. It's where she accidentally turns herself into a changeling, and suddenly she's on the run, as every pony is hunting her down! It's a great story so far and I recommend it. It also lists Trixie as a major character, but we haven't seen her yet as far as I've read. I'm hoping that when she does come in, Twilight will somehow get Trixie to help her, and they'll both be on the run together. I've imagined a scene like that where they're talking in Trixie's wagon, with Twilight trying to convince her she's not a changeling. I've also imagined a scene when they're trying to run from the wonderbolts on some sort of thrilling car chase.
I've also recently become interested in The Boondocks. Might read or write a couple things for that at some point.
I've said it before and I'll say it again; I LOVED Dead Space 3. The ending left me speechless (even if I did have a feeling Isaac and Carver survived that fall). That little bit of music when Isaac is falling off the cliff is so mesmerizing. This idea eventually popped into my mind.
So Twilight (Alicorn form) plays Isaac's role here, Trixie is Carver, and Rarity is Ellie. At first I thought of having Cornholio4's OC Morpho for this, but then I decided no. Decided to have a little Twarity shipping here.
A brother moon drifted toward its next target, which had been marked by its green marker. The green marker had sensed many delicious-looking four-legged creatures, such things that would make excellent necromorphs. New sheep to the slaughter! Quite a few were already falling to the green marker's curse, both its insanity and its power to raise the dead. Now it was time to finish the job.
Finally, it found itself hovering over the planet.
But then... what was this? The moon could sense one of the four-legged creatures below looking up at it. It was blue, and had wings. Suddenly, its horn glowed blue, and the moon felt itself held in a blueish aura.
"Oh, come on!" The moon whined, "That's just not fair!"
And suddenly, the force of the aura shot the moon a few dozen light years away.
(Scene: High up in space above the planet Equestria is on, inside the inner chambers of the Brother Moon, right before the pair of jaws. Twilight is on a floating platform, Trixie on the machine, which has just been swallowed by the Moon's mouth.)
Twilight kept her focus levitating the machine out of the enormous, fleshy pair of jaws that held the machine. The creature's grip on it was strong, despite Twilight's great magic. Then again, Twilight's strength was starting to fail her.
Suddenly, flames started to leak from the monster's mouth, and then on the sides. Trixie must have been using her fire spells.
Through her horn, Twilight could feel the monster's grip on the machine start to weaken. This was her chance! Her head, spine, and entire body ached, but she gave one strong yank so hard she herself staggered back as the Machine finally came loose and dragged part of... it must have been part of the creature's esophagus.
Every bone in her body ached, every muscle strained, every cut burned, but Twilight held on to the machine, and carried it over to her own platform, until she heard a satisfying crunch and felt a strong shake. The platforms were connected!
She turned to the machine, seeing there was a slight rise to climb up. She willed her body to move closer, but by now, she had reached her limit. She could barely make it. She felt her eyes as heavy as the rest of the body. She was so tempted to collapse and take a nap...
No! She was almost done! They were so close now! She put one foot in front of the other, staggering slowly toward the ledge.
It took forever, but she finally made it, and reached up with her forehooves to grip the sides of the ledge, and started to pull herself up.
Suddenly, the floor beneath her suddenly collapsed and fell apart. Her hind legs dangled over the edge, having suddenly lost their footing, and she was now only being held up by her hooves.
She wanted to pull herself up. She tried and pulled as hard as she could with the last of her strength but it hurt too much, and she was just to heavy. She could push no more.
And she could not fly up because her right wing had been torn off by the necromorphs.
Her strength failing her, one hoof slipped off and dangled lifelessly at her side. She felt the other slipping, but before she could fall, she felt another strong hoof suddenly grab it.
She looked up to see Trixie leaning over the edge holding on to her.
"Come on!" Trixie barked. "We can do this!" She starting pulling on Twilight's foreleg with both hooves. With her free hoof, Twilight managed to grab on to the ledge again. With Trixie's help, she finally pulled herself up. She leaned on Trixie as the latter walked them both toward the switch part of the machine that they had stood at before.
Finally, it was time to end this.
She and Trixie both stood in front of the panel, both eyeing the hole that Twilight would insert her horn into.
"So this is it?" Trixie asked. "We flip this switch? We stop this thing?"
"Uh-huh," Twilight panted.
"And... we both die? Here? Now?"
Twilight turned to her friend. Her body had just as many wounds and bruises and soot as she did. She had a black eye and blood dripped from her mouth and nose, equal to that of the wound of Twilight's head. It was clear she was just as exhausted as Twilight was.
Yet in her good eye, Twilight could see very little fear, more understanding. Trixie knew just as well as Twilight did that this was the end, and she accepted it.
Without anymore unneeded words, Twilight replied "But Equestria gets a tomorrow."
Trixie nodded, and managed to force a smile.
And with that, Twilight lowered her head, and shoved her spear-like horn into the hole, and willed the last of her magic out, and cast the spell.
The machine groaned, and suddenly shot up a bright green flash that engulfed the area for a second. The aura of the air seemed to shift from red to grey. Twilight and Trixie were shoved back by a mighty gust of wind, but managed to grab onto some pillars. A strong pull kept tugging at them, trying to pull them off into the abyss.
Finally, Trixie was torn from the pillar, and disappeared into the smoke, screaming as she flew away.
"Trixie!" Twilight screamed after her friend. Before anything else could be said, she herself lost her grip, and went tumbling off into the abyss, debris flying all around her.
This was it. Nothing else could be done. She was finished. She knew she had some time before she would hit the ground, but there was nothing else she could or needed to do.
She was going to die. It was hard to believe it was actually about to pass.
She thought about everything back down on Equestria. She thought about the beautiful lands and cities she had just saved, the millions of smiling ponies and other wondrous creatures. She thought of her parents, her proud mentor Celestia, of Luna, of Cadence, now with child, of her brothers, both of them, Shining Armor and Spike, of her six best friends in the whole world. They would all go on. They would live happy, prosperous lives now because of her and Trixie. And most of all, she thought of...
She managed to reach into her war jacket's pocket, and pulled out a photo of a smiling Rarity, the one she had kept for so long, half of the one that was once the two of them together, the other half she gave to Rarity herself. Rarity was safe.
She released the picture and watched as it was whisked away into the mist.
Twilight smiled, closed her eyes, and relaxed, letting the free fall take her away. She could rest easy now, knowing that everything was certainly going to be fine.
She did not see the moon, shot dead by the machine, falling down after her, it's limp tentacles waving in the G-Force of the fall.
