SEASON 1: THE ADVENTURES OF ALEX IN EQUESTRIA
-ALTRESMIL: In the previous chapter, the little human Alex, who accompanied Twilight and her faithful assistant Spike, visited the homes of the 5 ponies who had been tasked with preparing certain areas for the summer solstice; Alex experienced different emotions during his visits but in the end, they managed to finish reviewing the preparations on time, and all that was left was to wait. But what happened next at the town hall was what really caused a problem, for Nightmare Moon had returned, and our young hero, along with his friend Pinkie Pie, headed to the town hall to try to stop her.
Chapter 5: The Guardians of Harmony Part 2
Chaos had erupted in the Ponyville Town Hall, all the ponies who were there had run out to save their lives. The only ones crazy enough to head straight to the town hall at that moment were us, Pinkie and me.
-Alex: Come on, Pinkie, we need to hurry and get to the town hall.
-Pinkie Pie: Could you repeat why we're going straight to the place where all the ponies are running away from?
-Alex: Because Nightmare Moon is there, and if we don't confront her, no one will, so speed up.
We were already arriving at the source of all the chaos in Ponyville. We prepared to enter quickly, and the first thing we saw was Twilight, who was trying to confront Nightmare Moon alone.
-Twilight: ...If you want to hurt the ponies so much, you'll have to go through me
-Nightmare Moon: Well, if that's how you want things to be, then so be it.
Nightmare Moon began to concentrate a large amount of magic in her horn. Twilight also began to gather energy, but in her gaze, it could be seen that she was afraid of Nightmare Moon's power, yet she did not back down.
-Thought of Alex: "Twilight, no, if you die we will never be able to defeat Nightmare Moon, fall back"
The alicorn aimed her horn at Twilight and unleashed all the accumulated power in the form of a powerful magical energy laser. Twilight still didn't back down, but it was obvious she wouldn't survive such power; at that moment, I felt an impulse that made me react, launching myself directly at Twilight to prevent the laser from hitting her.
Since I managed to push her in time, we both managed to avoid the laser, but it was by a very narrow margin that we saved ourselves; a great explosion occurred at the place where the laser impacted, and taking advantage of the smoke that had formed, I grabbed my two friends and flew out of there as fast as I could.
When the smoke cleared, Nightmare Moon looked at the impact site, believing she had finished off Twilight.
-Nightmare Moon: That will serve as an example to the other ponies, no one defies the new ruler of Equestria.
AFTERWARDS
We were already quite far from the town hall and out of Nightmare Moon's line of sight, so I stopped at a small bench to rest my wings. I really exerted myself a lot to escape from that alive.
-Alex: *gasping for breath* Are... both of you... okay?
-Pinkie Pie: That... was... INCREDIBLE - he said with a big smile -
-Twilight: Are you crazy, Pinkie Pie? We almost died back there!
-Pinkie Pie: But we didn't die, which is good.
-Alex: Girls... please... - I took a deep breath and exhaled, regaining my composure - this is not the time to argue among ourselves, the entire town is in a state of panic and the only thing we have is each other, so we must not lose that
-Pinkie Pie: *sigh* You're right, I apologize for my excessive enthusiasm - she said to Twilight -
-Twilight: And I apologize for speaking to you that way, it's just that I'm very scared about Nightmare Moon's arrival.
-Alex: Very well, now that both of you are calm, we must find our friends, go to the Everfree Forest, and get the Elements of Harmony to save all of Equestria.
-Twilight: Very well up to here, I tried to ignore the fact that you know so much about Equestria but this is too much, who told you about the Elements of Harmony and how do you know we need them? I didn't even have time to research it myself!
-Alex: Twilight, please, this is not the best time to talk about that...
-Twilight: No, this is the right moment, I have to know where you get all this information about this world and I have to know it now that I'm still alive!
Silence filled the conversation; I had no idea how much damage I was causing Twilight just by keeping a small secret from her, although I suppose for her it wasn't such a small thing, since she is one of those ponies who wants to know everything about everything; and not knowing the reason behind something like that was surely something that bothered her a lot, I could even say that ignorance tormented her.
All of this made me feel terrible, so terrible that I decided to tell him THE WHOLE truth, and I mean the whole: I explained to her that all the events that occurred and would occur were broadcast by a device called a television, and that their fate was controlled by a human being, just like me, and that, in my world, their entire world was nothing more than something unreal and nonexistent. Twilight didn't know how to react to that revelation; she thought it was nothing more than a bad joke, but I emphasized that it wasn't at all, that it was the whole truth... and that was the reason why I didn't want to tell her the truth. At that moment, Twilight began to wish she hadn't asked, and I wished I hadn't said everything I had just said.
-Alex: I'm really sorry for not telling you the truth from the beginning, but I knew that this kind of truth would affect the way you see the world... the way you think... and the way you see me...
A few tears began to escape from my eyes, as I had literally explained to him that his entire existence was nothing but a lie.
-Alex: If I were you... I would hate myself for everything that happened, since... *snif* since all of this is my fault - he said with her head down -
-Twilight: Alex... - comes closer to me - please don't cry...
I lifted my gaze slightly, and it was only to see that Twilight was also crying.
-Twilight: ...None of this is your fault...
Those words made my eyes widen, just as they made my tears start to flow uncontrollably.
-Twilight: Nightmare Moon was the one who tried to hurt me, but it was you who saved me.
-Alex: *snif* Maybe... but that doesn't change the fact that, in my world, your world is nothing but a lie
-Twilight: Alex - takes my hand with his hoof - that's not true either; this world is real, the things in it are real, and I... I am real too.
Twilight was right, I have been in this world long enough to realize it. Even if all humans said that Equestria is not real, I know it is, because I am standing in Equestria right now, and right now, this land needs to be saved.
-Alex: You're right, this world is real, and it doesn't matter what a stupid machine says, now I realize - I dry my tears - but even so, Nightmare Moon won't stop until she controls all of Equestria, and we can't do anything unless we get the Elements of Harmony.
-Twilight: In that case, we have to go get the elements before facing Nightmare Moon. Where did you say they were?
-Alex: Well, as far as I remember, they are hidden somewhere in the Everfree Forest, but even if we find them, we can't use them alone, we need to find our pony friends.
-Pinkie Pie: Well, while you all were having your discussion about reality and who knows what else, I decided to get ahead and look for the whole group.
We looked towards where Pinkie Pie was, and indeed all our friends were with her.
-Applejack: What's up, partners?
-Rainbow Dash: Pinkie didn't explain the details to us, but she said something about kicking Nightmare Moon's butt, so count me in.
-Rarity: And me too
- Fluttershy: I also want to go, I'm scared, but I can't let my animal friends suffer because of Nightmare Moon.
-Alex: Nice! so now that we're all here we can go look for the elements of harmony, but I warn you that the journey will be dangerous, treacherous, and very deceptive, so we must be cautious...
Suddenly, a scream of terror was heard followed by a great explosion coming from another part of the village.
-Alex: Although, thinking about it, maybe we should hurry up before there's no Ponyville left to save.
LATER, IN THE EVERFREE FOREST
We were walking along a path through the deadly Everfree Forest, moving at a somewhat slow but steady pace.
After a few minutes of walking through the forest, Twilight approached me and started talking to me.
-Twilight: Ahm Alex
-Alex: Yes, Twilight?
-Twilight: Well, I know we're in the middle of a mission to save all of Equestria, but just in case something happens, I wanted to apologize for yelling at you after you saved my life.
-Alex: Nah, don't worry about it, although, I also have to apologize for not telling you the truth from the beginning, it's just that I was afraid of how you would take the truth, that's why I hid it from you, I hope you can understand my reasons.
-Twilight: Yes, I understand them now, but now I want to ask you about the elements of harmony, what do you know about them?
-Alex: Well, as I remember, the book said something like this: "There are a total of six elements of harmony, but only five of them are known:" Honesty, Kindness, Generosity, Laughter, and Loyalty; the sixth and final element is a mystery, little or nothing is known about it, but it is said that when the other five come together and a spark is generated, the lost element will appear
-Twilight: A spark? What kind of spark?
-Alex: One that lives within all of us, is the spark of...
But then I was interrupted by an accident. The part of the path we were walking on crumbled, causing Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, and Twilight to start sliding down the ravine. Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and I quickly flew to save them (Rainbow to Pinkie, Fluttershy to Rarity, and I to Applejack) but we couldn't reach Twilight, who was still approaching her death.
-Alex: "Twilight! Applejack, help Twilight!"
She nodded and launched herself towards the gorge, grabbing Twilight by her hooves, but they didn't stop slipping until they were already at the edge of the cliff.
-Thought of Alex: "Damn, this isn't going well, I have to do something"
I flew quickly to where the two ponies were and started pulling Applejack up to lift both of them, but Twilight slipped and let go.
-Twilight: Ahhhhh!
-Alex: Twilight, I'm coming!
Before going after her, I left Applejack where the others were, and then I flew to the bottom of the cliff hoping to catch up with Twilight.
The unicorn was falling uncontrollably, but I was following closely.
-Alex: ¡Twilight!
-Twilight: ¡Alex!
-Alex: Take my hand! Quick!
I stretched my arm as far as I could, Twilight did the same, but it wasn't enough, we were just a few centimeters apart.
-Twilight: I can't reach you!
-Thought of Alex: "Damn, this isn't going well, I need to think of something... I know"
I closed my wings and stopped stretching my arm, all with the intention of going faster and reaching her. Once I was close to her, I picked her up in my arms and held her tightly, but now I had another problem... at this speed and height, I don't think I can go back up, at least not now that I have Twilight.
-Twilight: Alex, why haven't we taken off yet?
-Alex: Because we wouldn't reach it with the strength I currently have.
-Twilight: So you're telling me that we're going to crash anyway?
-Alex: Not exactly, we just need to think of something that will get us out of here. Any ideas?
-Twilight: I'm not good at planning under pressure.
-Thought of Alex: "Planning?..." "That's it!"
-Alex: Twilight, hold on tight, I have an idea.
My idea was to gain more speed and use it to go back up, like that time when Rainbow Dash destroyed the cloud I was going to land on and I ended up crashing into a tree, only this time I'm not going to crash... I hope.
MEANWHILE WITH THE REST OF THE GROUP
The girls were sitting, waiting for us to return from the abyss, well, all except Rainbow Dash.
-Rainbow Dash: I know they took a long time to come out, shouldn't we do something?
-Applejack: Don't worry, sugarcube, Twilight will be fine.
-Rainbow Dash: How can you be so sure, Applejack?
-Applejack: Because Alex was the one who flew after her and that little one inspires a lot of confidence in me, besides, he knows how to handle himself in any situation.
BACK IN THE ABYSS
We kept falling, but not without control, I was trying to gain more speed to go back up but I couldn't manage it.
-Twilight: Alex, could you tell me what your idea was?
-Alex: Well, for now, I'm not sure if I can do it, but I'm trying to gain more speed.
-Twilight: Wait, what?!
-Alex: Don't worry, I've done this before, more or less.
-Twilight: Alex, please just spread your wings, I don't want to die so young.
-Alex: Wait, I've got it, Twilight. I need you to climb onto my back and crouch as low as you can.
-Twilight: What do you want me to do?!
-Alex: Trust me
He had no other choice, so he let go for a moment and moved to my back, there he passed his hooves around my neck and held on tightly.
-Thought of Alex: "Oh for Celestia's sake, this feels incredible, it's like receiving a hug from Twilight... no, focus on what you need to do."
I don't remember much about how Rainbow did it that time, but I have to do my best; I straightened my body, looking towards where I was falling, and stretched my arms forward. I could already feel myself going faster, and I could also see the bottom of the abyss.
-Alex: Wait for it... wait for it... now, it's time.
I opened my wings all at once, and the wind passing beneath them lifted me at the last second. Finally, we were ascending, and at great speed, by the way.
-Alex: Wuuuuuuuuujuuuuuuuu! Here we go!
We were about to leave the abyss, so I started flapping my wings hard until we finally managed to get out. The girls looked at us in astonishment, especially Rainbow Dash.
-Applejack: I told you they could do it.
I started planning where my friends were, the place where we landed and lay on the ground.
-Pinkie Pie: Alex, Twilight, are you both okay?
-Alex: *sigh* That was amazing! I can't wait to be able to do it whenever I want.
-Applejack: Well, at least he's okay - looks at Twilight - And Twilight, are you okay? that must have been an extremely intense experience
-Twilight: *gasping for breath* Well... it was... something... exciting... but I don't plan on doing it again.
-Fluttershy: So, are you both okay?
-Rarity: It seems to me that sweetness.
-Rainbow Dash: In that case, it would be better to continue on our way; I heard that in this area of the forest, there are some truly horrifying creatures.
- Fluttershy: So I agree with following our path.
-Alex: Yes, you're right.
But then, a nauseating smell reached my nose, I almost vomited because of how bad it smelled, so I covered my nose.
-Alex: Yuck, where did that smell come from?
The girls also smelled it and covered their noses too.
-Pinkie Pie: It smells like they left a cake in the fridge for 3 years.
-Applejack: Well, it smells to me like the barn before its weekly cleaning.
-Rainbow Dash: Well, it smells like trouble to me.
Then a timberwolf came out from the bushes, and when it approached, we felt the stench worsen.
-Mane6: Timberwolf!
-Alex: Run, girls, run!
We started running as fast as we could, but the timberwolf was following us very closely. If we didn't do something, it would catch up to us, so I told the girls to keep going while I distracted it. While they moved away, I picked up a piece of wood I found and thought about using it as a sword to defend myself.
-Alex: Now, Timberwolf, let's see what you can do.
The beast lunged at me, but I dodged it and struck its back, although I didn't do much damage. The wolf began to get angry and roared, releasing its deadly breath.
-Alex: - I cover my nose - Not this time, wolfy
I tried to hit it again, but it took my weapon with its snout and snatched it from my hand, shook it a bit, and threw it far away. After a while, the stick fell into the forest, and at that moment, a great roar was heard, which I am almost sure was from a manticore.
-Alex: Ah, so that's how that splinter got stuck, how crazy.
The wolf tried to bite me again, but I dodged it by jumping back.
-Alex: Hey seriously, why are you doing this? I mean, you're a wooden wolf, I don't think you eat meat.
Surely the timberwolf was asking itself the same question, but it didn't give it much importance as it continued with its plan to try to eat me. The timberwolf tried to bite me again, but I took the opportunity and climbed onto its back.
-Alex: I've got you now.
But that wasn't entirely true... he started running and jumping and moving like crazy, all with the intention of knocking me down, but he couldn't.
-Alex: Yeehaw! Giddy up, pup!
-Thought of Alex: "Now I understand why Applejack likes this so much"
He kept trying to throw me off but it was in vain, until he finally got tired and stopped shaking.
-Alex: Very well, that's how I like it, now let's go where my friends are because I'm dying to tell them that I tamed a timberwolf, hurry.
I gave the timberwolf a hit to make it move forward, but that only made it angry and it started running towards a river.
By the time we were near the river, I tried to stop it, but when I did, the timberwolf threw me forward and I fell on my back; the timberwolf put its face in front of mine while growling at me.
-Alex: Okay, you're angry, I get it, but you have to admit it was fun. Couldn't you give me another ride before eating me?
He shook his head and opened his jaws, ready to eat me; I closed my eyes to avoid suffering too much, but before I could be eaten, something kicked the timberwolf hard into the river where it sank into pieces. When I opened my eyes, I saw that it was Applejack who had struck the timberwolf.
-Alex: Thanks, Applejack, although I already had it under control.
-Applejack: If you say so, partner - he helps me up - And how did you end up in that position?
-Alex: Well, it's a pretty funny story but I'll summarize it for you: I managed to ride that timberwolf, it brought me here and when I tried to stop it threw me forward, and that's how I ended up on the ground.
-Applejack: Well, I think it's incredible that you tamed that thing.
-Alex: Me too, by the way, where are the others?
-Applejack: They're coming behind, I moved ahead because I heard you fall to the ground and wanted to make sure it wasn't some other danger.
-Alex: How considerate, but I don't think that timberwolf will bother us again, right now it must be in pieces at the bottom of the river.
But then a timberwolf appeared on the other side of the river, which looked very angry.
-Applejack: And then how is it that he's on the other side without a single scratch? - points at the timberwolf -
I turned to look where she was pointing and I could see that the timberwolf had returned.
-Alex: Wow, that thing is really tough, but don't worry, I'll take care of it.
-Applejack: But what will happen to our mission?
-Alex: Relax, you're on the right path, just keep going straight and eventually you'll reach the castle, I'll catch up with you when I get rid of that thing.
I spread my wings and flew to the other side of the river, right where the timberwolf was, I mounted it and started taking it away from the shore.
-Thought of Alex: "I don't understand how the heck it rebuilt itself if Applejack turned it into splinters just a moment ago."
The timberwolf roared fiercely, releasing its deadly breath. I couldn't cover my nose since I was holding onto him, so I inhaled some of that stench which made me fall back in disgust.
-Alex: Ugh, how I hate those timberwolves... wait, this stench is very different from the timberwolf that Applejack hit, so this is ANOTHER timberwolf.
The timberwolf stood in front of me, ready to attack, but I didn't stay on the ground as I stood up and got into a running position.
-Alex: So, show me what you're capable of, tree with legs.
-Timberwolf: Grrrrr
We started running towards each other, the timberwolf had its jaws ready to attack, but when we were close to each other, I jumped over its head and propelled myself to fly to a certain height, I began to descend at great speed and when I was near the timberwolf, I turned and crushed its head with great force. His head shattered into many pieces and his body fell to the ground.
-Alex: Haha, take that timberwolf, hope you liked it - I start to rise - but if you'll excuse me, I have to go now, I need to find some elements of harmony to defeat Nightmare Moon.
I flew to a great height to look for my friends, I looked around but couldn't find them.
-Alex: Where the hell are those mares? - I catch a glimpse of an old castle - Could it be that they have already arrived at the castle? Maybe I should go check, just in case.
And so, I set off towards the ancient Castle of the Noble Sisters. After a few minutes of flying, I finally arrived at the castle. It was more destroyed and older than I expected and than what you see on television.
-Alex: Wow, this place looks in very bad shape, I hope it doesn't fall apart or something.
I stood in front of the large entrance door and pushed it slightly, then the entire door fell to the ground with a loud crash, so much so that it destroyed a nearby rope bridge; I entered the castle and saw that it was worse inside than outside.
-Alex: Heh, and it's supposed to be what's inside that matters, whatever, focus, I have to find those elements - I started to walk - now let's see... if I were an element of harmony, where would I hide?
While I was walking, looking around, I accidentally stepped on some kind of switch, which opened a secret trapdoor in the ground from where the Elements of Harmony began to emerge.
-Alex: Wow, they're bigger in person, and now they're finally-
-¿?: -Mine!
The elements began to be surrounded by a strange-colored magic and after a moment, they started to float directly towards a dark figure on the ceiling. I could see how the elements were going through a hole in the ceiling.
-Alex: But what is that?
-¿?: I am the ruler of Equestria, foolish human
A mysterious pony began to descend from the sky, but once she touched the ground, I could see she wasn't a mysterious pony, as she was Nightmare Moon, and now she has the elements.
-Nightmare Moon: Finally, after a millennium of waiting, I have the Elements of Harmony in my power - she looks at me - I knew that if I let them live long enough, they would lead me to them.
-Alex: But how did you know we were looking for you?
-Nightmare Moon: Because I am Nightmare Moon, and I know everything.
-Alex: And if you know everything, how come you didn't know where the elements were?
-Nightmare Moon: Silence! What matters now is that I have the elements, and now, finally, I will be able to get rid of them once and for all.
-Alex: No, if I stop her - I get into a defensive stance -
-Nightmare Moon: Muajajajajajaja, you are no match for me, the new ruler of Equestria.
-Alex: The ruler is Princess Celestia, and I won't let you take her job.
-Nightmare Moon: Well then, show me what you're capable of.
-Alex: That's my line!
I flew at high speed towards her, and when I was close to her, I punched her in the face, which made her drop the elements, but it also made her angry.
-Nightmare Moon: You shouldn't have done that.
The alicorn took me with her magic and started smashing me against the walls, the floor, some columns that were still standing, until she finally threw me against the ceiling. But before crashing into it, I turned around and placed my feet against the ceiling, I propelled myself with all my strength and began to fly towards Nightmare Moon with the intention of hitting her with everything.
Nightmare Moon didn't intend to prolong the battle much, so she did something extreme: She began to concentrate a lot of magic in her front hooves, and when she finally gathered enough, she struck the ground with force. The impact unleashed a shockwave so strong that it sent me flying back towards the entrance, but it also caused the elements of harmony to shatter. When I went back inside, I saw what had happened to the elements.
-Nightmare Moon: Finally... the elements of harmony have been destroyed!
-Alex: No... The elements...
-Twilight: Alex!
Finally, the girls had arrived at the castle, but when they entered, they realized it was already late.
-Twilight: Alex... those fragments on the floor...
-Alex: Yes, it's what remains of the elements... I'm sorry...
-Nightmare Moon: Now that I have gotten rid of those infernal things, there is NOTHING that can stop me, mwahahahahaha
. . .
-Alex: No...
-Nightmare Moon: What?
-Alex: I said: no! Maybe you destroyed the elements of harmony, but that doesn't mean you defeated us, because... the elements cannot be destroyed.
-Nightmare Moon: What are you talking about? I just destroyed them, and you witnessed it.
-Alex: Maybe you destroyed his physical form, but you will never be able to destroy his ethereal form, because the elements of harmony live within each of us.
At that moment, the fragments began to glow. Nightmare Moon was very confused by what was happening; the elements began to float up to my friends' necks, including Twilight.
-Alex: Each and every one of us has an element of harmony that dwells within us, and now, it is about to witness the power of our friendship.
The girls closed their eyes and began to concentrate their strength on the elements, but nothing happened.
-Nightmare Moon: Actually, I'm about to see them fail, as they still lack ANOTHER element of harmony.
-Mane6: Another?!
-Alex: But... I thought there were only 6!
-Nightmare Moon: It seems you didn't even bother to look into the matter, as there is a seventh element, which was hidden a long time ago in a distant world we know, with the intention of preventing the elements from coming together again. That element was known as The Element of Courage, so you will never be able to defeat me.
-Alex: "Element of Courage"?, wait a moment...
I reached into my shirt to look for something, then I pulled out a necklace with a red gem. Nightmare Moon and all my friends were surprised to see my necklace.
-Alex: Is this "The Element of Courage"?!
-Nightmare Moon: What?! Where did you get that?!
-Alex: Dad always said that this gem belonged to a man who gave his life to defend the things he loved most, and that as long as I carried it with me, I could be just as brave... now I understand what he was talking about, this is the element of courage.
-Nightmare Moon: Well, it doesn't matter if they have the seven elements because I won't give them a chance to use them.
He began to concentrate a large amount of magic in his horn, too much in my opinion. We closed our eyes with complete confidence as the elements began to glow, the brightness growing stronger and stronger. Nightmare Moon shot a great beam of magical energy towards us, but we were protected by a barrier made by the elements of harmony, we began to rise off the ground; the girls rose higher than me, then I opened my eyes, revealing completely white and bright eyes along with a determined expression.
-Nightmare Moon: This is impossible, a human wouldn't be able to withstand such power... What are you?
-Alex: I AM what you see, a human boy who always helps those in need, and my name... is Alex Tools!
A rainbow began to emerge from my collar, which extended towards my friends' one by one, gradually forming a large rainbow heart. When that heart was finished, a great rainbow began to rise and then fell upon Nightmare Moon.
-Alex: Sweet dreams, Princess Luna...
The rainbow began to envelop her. She tried to escape but it was in vain. After a moment, a great explosion of harmony erupted, which ended the eternal night and also made us lose consciousness for a while.
AFTERWARDS, IN THE VOID
I found myself floating in a vast white void, there was nothing, it didn't even seem to have an end.
-Alex: Where am I?... don't tell me I'm dead...
-¿?: Don't worry, I can assure you that you're not.
That voice came from behind me. When I turned around, I could see Princess Celestia, standing over the void, unlike me who was floating.
-Celestia: Alex the human, it makes me proud to see what you have become.
-Alex: Princess Celestia, where are we?
-Celestia: That's not important right now, what matters is that you have proven to be a true Tools, even at your young age, you have shown great bravery, and that's why I would like to make you a proposal.
-Alex: Well, that's very flattering, princess, but I'm afraid I'm still too young for that.
-Celestia: "Oh?, ah, hahahahaha, I don't mean that, Alex, my proposal is the following: I give you the choice between returning to your world and letting you live a peaceful life, or you can stay here in Equestria and live under my care."
That last option... upon hearing it... I really started to get emotional, so much that some tears began to well up in my eyes.
-Celestia: So, what do you decide, Alex?
Without thinking, I threw myself at the princess to give her a hug while I broke down in tears, although of course, they were tears of joy. The princess returned the hug, knowing then what my answer was.
-Celestia: I understand, then I'll see you later in Ponyville.
The princess began to drift away into the void until she finally completely vanished.
I started to dry my tears, then I began to look around for an exit.
-Alex: Very well, now how do I get out of here...
-¿?: Still _ something _ do _
I heard a mysterious voice, I didn't know if it was around me or in my head, so I started looking in all directions.
-¿?: _ you have _ to _ here
-Alex: What?, I don't understand you mysterious voice
I began to hear a sound, a sound that I had heard many times before. I started to search for the source of the sound until I finally found it, the source of the crying, which came from Princess Luna.
I approached the princess very carefully, and when I was close enough, I decided to speak to her.
-Alex: Pr-Princess Luna... - I started to reach my hand towards her -
-Luna: Stay away...
I pulled my hand away while she kept sobbing.
-Luna: I never... *sniff* I never intended to hurt any pony
-Alex: But then why did you do all this? Why did you want to extend the eternal night? - I sat in the void -
-Luna: Out of jealousy, I suppose.
-Alex: I don't understand.
-Luna: The ponies laugh, play, and enjoy themselves during the day, but they rest at night; since my sister and I were put in charge of moving the celestial bodies, I have made my best effort to make each night beautiful, but little by little I realized that the ponies didn't notice what I was offering them, they preferred to play during the day that my sister provided instead of doing so during the night that I gave them.
-Alex: I see, so you just wanted to give the ponies something nice from you, but you didn't feel appreciated.
-Luna: I guess that's one way to put it.
-Alex: And why didn't he tell his sister about that?
-Luna: Yes, I did. On more than one occasion, I asked my sister not to raise the sun, so the ponies could enjoy my night, but she would only say, "I'm sorry, sister, but I can't alter the natural order of things just because of a whim of yours." And so it was every time I tried to persuade her, until I finally decided to do something about it: since I didn't have enough power to control two celestial bodies at once, I decided to call upon a nocturnal being named "Nightmare" to help me. Nightmare and I reached an agreement, he would help me make the ponies see the beauty of the night during the day, in exchange for me lending him my dominion over the moon. But Nightmare didn't want to give the ponies a beautiful night; he wanted to extend the eternal night, but by the time I realized, it was too late. Nightmare took control of my body and turned it into the demon known as "Nightmare Moon"... after that... the only thing I remember... *snif* are the screams of pain from countless ponies...
Princess Luna broke down in tears, and I couldn't do much to help her, just be there for her.
-Alex: Princess, I realize you have a difficult past, but holding onto it won't help you. Now that Nightmare Moon has been contained, you can start anew.
-Luna: Shut up...
-Alex: Ah?
-Luna: Shut up... shut up shut up shut up!... Don't try to deceive me... you are not capable of understanding how I feel... you will never know what I feel
She kept crying, her voice sounded broken, and I couldn't do anything.
-Alex: ... She feels trapped...
-Luna: Ah?
-Alex: It feels like everyone around her is against her, like everything she does is wrong... but above all, she feels alone... Or am I wrong?
-Luna: No, that's exactly how I feel, but how is it that-
-Alex: Because that's how I felt... after losing my mother in that accident. I tried to save her with all my strength, but it was useless, because of my weakness my mother died... and from that moment on... I understood what it feels like to be alone.
-Luna: *snif* I see that... maybe you can understand me. But if you've been through something like that, how do you keep going?
-Alex: I don't know, I just keep moving forward.
-Luna: Well, I'm afraid I don't have that option, even if I chose to go back, the damage has already been done, and after everything that happened, it's more than clear that no one is going to forgive me.
-Alex: Well, I do forgive her, and her sister will too, and I'm sure all her subjects will, just needs to have the courage to stand in front of them and explain what happened.
-Luna: But I don't know how...
-Alex: Before, I didn't know it either, but I've discovered that Courage comes when you have someone by your side, someone who supports you when you need it, and I can be that person if you wish.
-Luna: Really?
I nodded with determination, stood up, and extended my hand to Princess Luna. When she took my hand, it started to blur, until we finally returned to the real world.
BACK IN THE ABANDONED CASTLE
Finally, after a good while, I was getting up from the ground, and for some reason, my eyes were watery.
-Alex: *yawn* Well, I'm glad I could help you.
-¿?: Thank you, Alex
I turned around and saw Princess Luna, free from Nightmare Moon's control; Princess Celestia beside her and my friends, who were already feeling better.
-Luna: Thank you for everything, Alex - she said with a smile - I'm glad to have met you
-Alex: No, princess, the honor was mine.
-Pinkie Pie: So, now that everything is resolved, do you think we can...
-Alex: But of course, Pinkie
BACK IN PONYVILLE
-Pinkie and Alex: It's... Party time!
BACKGROUND MUSIC: SpongeBob - Jellyfish Party
The whole town was decorated for the occasion: there were balloons, streamers, confetti coming from everywhere, and you could hear music throughout the town.
My friends and I were at the town hall celebrating, while Princess Luna was talking to the ponies of the town, apparently apologizing to them. I couldn't hear much of the conversation because of the music, but I could see that everyone forgave her.
-Alex: Well, I'm glad when things end well. By the way, Pinkie, what did you say this party was called?
-Pinkie Pie: The Super Mega Welcome Party for Alex Tools and the Return of Princess Luna - she pulled a rope and a very long banner with everything Pinkie said written on it unfurled - now... Let's celebrate!
The party pony brought a DJ machine and the best DJ in all of Equestria, Vinyl Scratch, better known as DJ PON3. The background music suddenly changed.
BACKGROUND MUSIC: Dragon Ball Z Opening
-Alex: I know that song.
So I took a microphone and asked DJ PON3 to put it in Karaoke mode, and when the song started, I began to sing.
-Alex: El cielo resplandece a mi alrededor (alrededor),
al volar destellos brillan en las nubes sin fin,
con libertad puedes cruzar hoy el cielo azul (el cielo azul)
la verdad huye a un golpe de pronto en ti,
como si un volcán hiciera una erupción,
derrite un gran glaciar,
podrás ver de cerca un gran dragón,
Chala Head-Chala,
no importa lo que suceda,
siempre el ánimo mantendré,
Chala Head-Chala,
vibrante mi corazón siente emoción,
haré una genkidama,
Chala Head-Chala,
no pienses nada sólo escucha,
sueño está ya en tu corazón,
Chala Head-Chala,
no importa lo que suceda,
porque es el día de hoooooooy.
Once the song ended, all the ponies got excited; apparently, they liked my way of singing, and I also enjoyed how it felt to sing in front of so many ponies.
-Thought of Alex: "Heh, maybe I should start a band or something."
-Alex: Thank you all for being here with us, it really means a lot that you came, and I also want to thank you for welcoming me here in your town. I know seeing a human here might seem a bit strange, but I promise I won't cause any trouble.
-Pinkie Pie: - takes the microphone from me - And also promises to sing at all my parties
The ponies got excited again, apparently they wanted to hear me sing once more.
-Pinkie Pie: That's all, folks, now let's keep celebrating.
THE END
-Pinkie Pie: Hey, I wanted to keep celebrating.
-ALTRESMIL: I'm sorry Pinkie but I already put "THE END" so goodbye
The party pony returned from wherever she had come from.
-ALTRESMIL: *sigh* Well, there you have it, after a loooooooong wait I finally finished chapter 5, I hope you liked it. And since I'm at it, I would like to thank some people now that I have the opportunity: First, I would like to thank the user "Como arroyo que fluye" from Fanfiction, as he was the one who gave me the idea to rewrite this fanfic with better detail; to "Niizuma-Brony" from Fanfiction, he was the one who inspired me to become a writer; to "Rikimlp" from Fanfiction, a user and friend of mine who has followed me for a long time, and has supported me more than anyone else; and finally to "Sonrx1" from Wattpad, he has been supporting me during my time on Wattpad and I hope he continues to support me; and to all my current readers, I hope the chapter was worth it and that you listened to the songs I added. And well, that's all for now, I hope everything goes well for you. Merry Christmas.
