Chapter 40: Alamo Day (S1 Finale)

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

Hello every pony! I hope that every single one of you are just as excited for this as I am! If you're not then... Well you're probably smarter than I am, because I think I'm the only one this excited about having a bunch of readers reading chapters on a website not many people know about...

But ignoring and passing that little concept, I think it's about time I explain just what'll happen here! You see, instead of it just being a three chapter episode, I'm gonna make this bigger. It'll probably be around five to, if I can make the story long enough without it getting dull and boring, ten chapters even. Think of those first sixteen chapters as the story première in a way! This will pretty much be like that, except just a little smaller and focuses on one certain storyline instead of a road leading up to realization.

Also, if a few of you are still confused and have questions, I plan to make all seasons and future chapters go only into this one story. If there is some kind of chapter limit on stories, and I hit it, than I might just separate them into separate stories for each season. But until that happens, WE ALL STICK TOGETHER!

Blitz: "Yeah! No splitting this story up!"

And here to help me start off this season finale is my character, Blitz! Say sup or something to the audience Blitz!

Blitz: Sup or something! *he laughs a little at his own little joke before I shake my head* What, you told me to say that!

I think you might be coming down with the Pinkie Virus or something. Anyway, let's do the top three comments and start-up the chapter before I start arguing with a form of myself.

Blitz: Kay dude, but it's your funeral.

I think you mean our funeral, but whatever. Let's do the top three comments!

3: Mage of Psychics. A singing room sounds great! And you know, I used to be afraid of others reading whatever I wrote. So much that whenever a family member found some writing that I made, I would tear it up and throw it away or something. (Not kidding, one time my grandma found something I was writing. It was about a man who ship wrecked on an abandoned island. So I just snatched it from her hands and gave it to her dog, who ate it. To this day that dog is afraid of water. XD)

Blitz: That's really sad dude...

Well you know what, it happened. Onto the second comment!

2: EpicPie1. All three of those rooms sounds freaking awesome! It be so cool to wake up in a water-bed room, and just go watch tv and stuff in your TV room. And you'd be getting exercise because the key-board is on the floor. You really planned that room out! I bow to your genius!

Blitz: Speaking of genius, maybe you should learn how to spell so you don't have to use spell check on a word like 'genius'.

Hey, you didn't have to tell them that!

Blitz: Yeah... But it's funny to see you be humiliated in front of your audience.

That so? Because its humiliating you too dude. You know, since were both the same person?!

Blitz: ...Why did you make it so I don't think before I speak all the time?

Because it makes the stories funnier seeing you fail at times. Now onto the number one comment!

1: Christ's Disciple. This Is Home by Switchfoot?... *Youtube* *Like* *add to music playlist* That song is amazing!

Blitz: WOW... We don't take much convincing do we?

Not at all, but this song is still great either way! And also, glad you like the appearance I gave Tom. And most of all, that sounds like the best room ever!... To me at least. I'd love to have a sword fight with Blackbeard, then sit on my throne and rule my kingdom for real in Civilization V.

And with all that said, let's start the chapter! Blitz you might want to get ready, because you're in for it this time around!

Blitz: Should I be scared for my life or something... Oh whatever, it's not like you would let me die would you?... *He sees me holding back a smile and snickering a little* And, now I AM officially scared for my life. Well, see you in the stories every pony!

Disclaimer: I do not own MLP. Only the idea for this story and Blitz.

Blitz: Hey wait a second! What do you mean, you own me?!

Let's start this up! *it starts to fade out and Blitz yelling the question at me, trying to get my attention, but to no avail*


Blitz's POV

"Hey Blitz! Blitz! Wake up will ya?!" I barely heard some pony calling my name from my bedroom window, but it was still enough to make me stir. But just barely.

"Hey RJ! Could you wake Blitz up?! He has locks on the windows!" The same pony said from behind the window.

Next thing I know, I'm slapped repeatedly in face by a certain double-masked raccoon. "OW! OUCH! O-OKAY! I'm awake RJ!" I yelled, wide awake now.

RJ jumped off and jumped back in his bed, still tired. Since he was supposed to be nocturnal, I could see just why he was still tired when it was almost noon.

Getting out of bed, I walked over to the window to see a certain Rainbow mane colored pegasus waiting for me to open my window. When I did she wasted no time in pulling my outside, making me have to fly to avoid falling right to the ground.

"Took you long enough! We've been trying to wake you up for the past ten minutes!" She yelled at me as if I was late for something. I don't know what exactly though because the fore pony said that all of us, especially the pegasi in the construction crew were off for today. Why? I had no idea.

"And why exactly? Didn't it ever occur to you that I was sleeping in late for a reason? It's because I don't have anything to do today." I told her as I closed the window behind me. I looked around and saw that every pony was crowding around the other side of Ponyville for something. It was the side of the town I haven't been at too.

And looking around where we were, I saw that Fluttershy was here too. Guess the others were all where every pony else was too.

"And don't you know why you have nothing to do today?!" She asked me as if it was an obvious question.

"Uh... No actually. No pony ever told me." I told her, kind of confused.

"Um... Rainbow Dash." We both turned to Fluttershy, who spoke up. "I-I don't think Blitz knows about Alamo Day, so maybe you shouldn't be mad at him... If that's alright with you."

"Alamo Day?" I asked, confused. I knew about The Alamo from my world, but that's it. And as much as I love everything about to do with the Lone Star State, I never heard of a day where everyone celebrated The Alamo. I'd love to celebrate The Alamo like any true Texan, but I still haven't heard of something like that.

"Yeah. You see, a long time ago a pegasus named-DING!-Ugh, we don't have time for this, just come on! You'll get the point eventually, but we gotta hurry! Maybe there's still a spot for some pony to play Spectrum Light in the reenactment! Now hurry up you two!" After hearing that bell go off, she was in a hurry to go out to whatever they were celebrating.

"Who's Spectrum Light?" I asked Fluttershy as we started flying after Rainbow Dash.

"Oh, Spectrum Light is Rainbow Dash's Ancestor from the times when Ponyville was called Pony Valley. It's really important, and Rainbow Dash has really wanted to be in the reenactment as Spectrum Light ever since she's lived in Ponyville. But some pony else always ends up getting the spot before her." She explained to me.

"Oh okay, I think I'm caught up now. Thanks Fluttershy." I said as we approached the whole celebration thing.

And as soon as we got there we both heard a familiar annoyed groan from our only other pegasus friend, Rainbow Dash.

"So the spot was taken huh?" I asked rhetorically to her, already knowing the answer when I saw a pegasus with a blue-grey coat, a dusty yellow colored mane, and wierd looking eyes getting ready to be in the reenactment.

"Rub it in why don't ya!" She said, mad at what I said.

"Hey if it's a holiday, you still have next year. Besides, no pony can be better than you at the reenactment thing because you are related to her after all." I reminded her.

"Yeah... Yeah, you're right! I'm the best pony for the job hooves down!" Rainbow Dash said, suddenly hyped up. Mission accomplished. "I'm way better than any of these Spectrum Light wannabes!" She finished. Okay, mission sort of accomplished.

"Yeah... Kinda..." I looked around and saw that there were some bleachers set up. "Let's all get some seats before all the good ones are taken." I suggested.

"Oh... I think I'm going to sit in the back... If that's okay with you two that is..." Fluttershy said.

"Go right on ahead Fluttershy." Fluttershy smiled a little and flew off towards the back part of the bleachers, not really wanting to be that close to the fight. I looked around and saw the others. "Hey, there's every pony else." I said, showing Rainbow Dash. We both then flew over to them.


Fluttershy's POV

As they were all sitting towards the front, I was looking for a seat in the back. But, most of the seats were dirty or rotted, not leaving many choices.

And as I was looking for a seat, Ginger Star sat down next to a midnight blue coated unicorn, who then turned towards her. "Um, did I say you could sit here?" He asked her

"No, but what's the harm in me sitting here?" She asked him, not seeing the problem.

"The harm will come to you if you don't move and leave me alone." He said, not in the mood to talk or be next to any pony. He was basically forced to come here because every pony that saw him by himself away from the reenactment wouldn't leave him alone. Thus forcing him to come here to try to enjoy being left alone.

"Fine jeez! Sorry for trying to sit down next to some pony that looks like a giant sack of pity." Ginger Star said as she flew away kind of ticked off that she just got threatened by the saddest looking pony in Ponyville. The unicorn didn't care though as he relaxed a little and went back to reading his book.

To bad I didn't see any of the argument as I was looking for a seat. I turned to where he was and saw that the seats next to him were in great condition and were clean. So I went over towards him.

"Um... excuse me..." I asked trying to get his attention. He rose an eyebrow and lowered his book slightly, showing that he was listening even though he wasn't looking at me. "May I sit here? If it's okay with you of course..." I asked, kind of frightened by his appearance. His mane and tail were moving around like shadows, and he had a mean look on his face. But looks can be deceiving, and this was the only seat towards the back.

He sighed heavily and turned towards me. "Look, I really just want to be..." He then turned towards me completely and looked at me for a second with an unsure look.

I went ahead and took it as a no. It sounded as if he was going to say he wanted to be alone, so I understood. "I-it's okay... I'll just go sit towards the front with my friends... Thank you anyway." I said, starting to fly back.

"W-wait." I turned back towards him. He sighed and closed his eyes for a second before looking back at me. "You can sit here if you want to." He told me, putting his book down.

"Oh, I don't want to be a burden or anything..." I told him.

He shook his head, and I thought that he looked almost like he had a slight look that showed that he was trying to think just why he was talking. "No, you won't be a burden. Go ahead and sit down if you want." He told me.

"Oh, thank you very much..." I said, sitting down. "I don't really like watching this all that much so I try to sit away because I don't like getting startled..." I told him.

"Guess that makes two of us in a way." He said levitating his book back and opening it. I went ahead and stayed quiet from that point on, not wanting to bother him anymore then I probably was. That, and he looked like he was in deep thought as he read his book, and I didn't want to really lose a seat that was in the back. Guess I was right for thinking that looks are deceiving.


Blitz's POV

"Hey guys." I said, as me and Rainbow Dash flew over to the others. All of them, that including a really tired looking Spike, were all sitting in a spot towards the front. They had also saved three seats for us.

"Hey Blitz. Wow, I thought you'd still be asleep too." Twilight said.

"Yeah well... let's just say a heavy sleeper can only take so many slaps from a raccoon before waking up." I said to them. Most of them were really confused, but Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie were laughing their heads off. Rainbow Dash because she knew just what I meant since she was there, and Pinkie Pie because I guess she just thought it sounded funny.

"Speaking of sleep, I just want this to be over so I can get some." Spike said, yawning.

"Attention all Alamo Day Reenactment Spectators!" The mayor said, stepping in front of all the seats where the reenactment was about to take place. "As it turns out, the reenactment is going to be delayed due to some un for seen mishaps." She said.

Not far away from where she was, the pegasus that was playing as Spectrum Light somehow got her head stuck in a barrel. A few others tried to get her free, but she was stuck in there good.

"So, we will take a two-hour intermission before we begin. Again, I'm sorry for the delay." She said, walking off.

"Pfft, none of this would've happened if I was Spectrum Light..." Rainbow Dash said, crossing her hooves in annoyance.

"Oh come on Rainbow Dash, it's not all bad. Besides, this way we can enjoy some of the other things to do in Alamo Day." Twilight told us.

"Yeah! Like try out some of my ancestor's famous sarsaparilla!" Pinkie Pie said, getting excited.

"Sarsaparilla?" I asked, kind of confused.

"Yeah! Haven't you heard?! My ancestor's famous sarsaparilla is always made for Alamo Day! Except, no pony has her original recipe so we try to make it best we can! Everypony knows that silly!" Pinkie said, getting excited.

"Oh that's right! Blitz, you've never heard of Alamo Day have you?!" Twilight asked me.

"Not one bit. On my world, there's something called The Alamo, but that's a revolution. Not a celebration." I told her.

"Well, technically Alamo Day celebrates a revolution. You see, it's about how one pegasus made every Earth Pony and Unicorn in Pony Valley see how pegasi were just as important. Thus creating equality between the three types of ponies. Here, I have a brochure on Alamo Day right here." Twilight said as she got a brochure out of her pocket and handed it to me.

I opened it up and looked at it, but saw as it was a little tattered and worn. And even had a picture missing. "Thanks, I guess..." I said, seeing the damage on it.

"Sorry about the condition, I got it when I went to my first Alamo Day a few years back." She told me.

"It's cool. I'll look at it when I get the chance." I said, putting it in my pocket for now. "So what should we do until the reenactment thing starts?" I asked.

"Hmm..." Twilight hummed to herself as we all looked around at the stalls and events set up.

"Oh, how bout we all get our picture taken?" Applejack said, pointing towards a man with an old timely looking camera. In front of him was a group of ponies dressed up in western clothes.

"Sarsaparilla? Western clothes? Reenactment? And... A wierd looking tumbleweed?" I said to myself as they all started going towards the camera. I realized, this whole Alamo Day thing was based in the wild west. Honestly, that was pretty cool. Not only that, but it all was western stuff that I was mostly familiar with in my world. Honestly, the only thing that threw me off about all of this was the fact that they had a day called 'Alamo' Day.

Since I was born in Texas, and in San Antonio no less, I loved stuff like this. I couldn't help but just smile at the coincidence of it all, not really caring that there was a holiday that was named after something that was in my world.

"Hey Blitz! You coming?!" Pinkie Pie asked as they all got ready to take a picture. They all had on western costumes, and were about ready to take the picture. Rainbow Dash was just flying back with Fluttershy so she could take a real quick picture with all of us too.

"Yeah, hold on." I said flying over to catch up with them. I was given a vest and a cowboy hat like Applejack's that was coal-black in color to match my coat color. As I put on the vest, I realized something. "Hey wait, this doesn't have any holes for my wings." I said.

"Yeah. Back then pegasi had to where vests into Pony Valley that didn't have wing holes. You can read about it in the brochure I gave you." Twilight told me.

"Oh, got it." I said, getting it now.

"Okay, every pony say Alamo and look all tough!" The camera stallion told us.

"Alamo!" We all said, doing just as he said.

He took the picture eight times. One for all eight of us. So after taking the costumes off, and each of us getting pressured by the camera stallion to buy the costumes as annoying as that was. Then we finally got the pictures and moved on.

"Why I can't believe it, this actually looks like it was made back around the late 1800's." Rarity said, admiring her picture of herself.

"Yeah. Wonder how they did that." Twilight.

"They probably refurbished that camera from around those times to use." I said, looking at my picture of all of us. It wasn't all that colorful so it looked like it was taken around the 1870's or so.

"Hey, let's try out the sarsaparillas next! They have a new recipe this year!" Pinkie Pie said to us.

"Pinkie, they have a new recipe every year!" Rainbow Dash told her. "And every year it tastes horrible!" She complained.

"That's because they say that Diane Sarsaparilla's recipe was so crazy and unique, it was delicious!" Pinkie Pie said with a big grin. "Now come on! I want to see what it tastes like this year!" She then ran off towards the Sarsaparilla Stand.

"It can't be that bad can it?" I asked as I put my copy of the picture in my pocket and started to walk towards the stand.

"Well yer in fer a surprise now partner." Applejack told me as we all went over.

When we got there, Pinkie Pie had just gotten one and took a sip. "So what's it taste like?" I asked.

She held up a hoof in a way to make me be quiet as she smacked her lips, trying to taste it as much as possible. Right as she stopped, I tried to ask again but she just took another sip and smacked her lips again, trying to see if it was any good. Seeing only a look of thought on her face, and a look of annoyance growing on mine, I turned to the stand.

"seven sarsaparilla ple-ase..." I said, almost instantly regretting it because right on the other side of the booth I saw three faces I did not trust with making me anything to drink.

"Sure thing Blitz!" Scootaloo said to me as she started pouring some into a wooden jug for me.

"Scootaloo? Sweetie Belle? Apple Bloom? What in tarnation are you three doin behind the counter?" Applejack asked.

"Well, we wanted to try to see if we could get our Cutie Marks in sarsaparilla making, so we offered to make it this year!" Sweetie Belle said as she and Apple Bloom poured some for the rest of us.

"Oh, you three shouldn't have..." I said politely, but with a double meaning as Scootaloo handed me my jug full of the CMC made sarsaparilla.

"But we did! Ya see, we haven't tried sarsaparilla makin yet! And since every pony gets sarsaparilla, we were hopin ta get some pony to tell us what it tastes like! Only... no pony's said anythin about it yet." Apple Bloom told us.

"Well..." I turned to the others, who were just as cautious as I was about it. "Cheers." We all clinked our jugs of sarsaparilla and we all took a big sip, wanting to get it over with.

The immediate thing I noticed is that is was actually half decent. It tasted like vanilla coke with some lemon at first. Then the after taste kicked in and I could taste exactly what was in this drink. Probably a whole bag of salt, a whole bag of lemons, and a whole carton of vinegar.

I stopped chugging the sarsaparilla and took in a breath. "What all was in that?!" I asked I asked, the saltieness and bitterness of it making my mouth dry.

"Well, every pony said that it had some ingredients in it that were surprising and kind of random. So we put in bags of salt, lemons, and a whole jug of vinegar. Along with a tiny bit of vanilla and honey to help keep it sweet. Pretty good huh?" Scootaloo asked, grinning greatly with the other two behind them.

"It's uh... It was certainly a... Guys help me out-here..." I turned and saw that all of their mouths were so dry and bitter that their mouthes were all shrivaled up to the point where they couldn't even open their mouthes.

"Pinkie Pie, what about..." I turned and saw that her mouth was so dry that the jug got stuck in her mouth and she couldn't get it out. No matter how much she tried to pry it out.

That left me to try to let them down easy. I was the only one that could explain it to them since I could stand the taste. "Hey, have you three ever wondered why no pony will tell you their opinion?" I asked them.

"Not really. Usually they just suck in their mouths and start walkin away." Apple Bloom said. "I wonder why..." She thought to herself.

"Well uh... I think you added just a little too much lemon and salt into the recipe." I told them.

Rainbow Dash ran up to me and mumbled through her closed up mouth. "M Middle?! Me Mant MmPm Mr Momdes!" She tried to say something, but I could barely understand her.

I knew that she was complaining about how I told them the problem, but that was all I could get. So I turned to the three and pointed to Rainbow Dash and her failed attempt to talk. "My thoughts exactly." I said, trying so hard not to laugh right now.

"It can't be that bad can it?" Sweetie Belle said as she poured herself some and tried to take a sip.

"Wait! Don't-" I tried to reach across the counter, but I couldn't reach and she managed to take a sip. As soon as she took that sip, her mouth dried up too, leaving her mouth all shriveled up. "drink... it..." I said, too late.

She gave a sad look to the other two, understanding what exactly went wrong. The other two were still confused, but they understood enough to stay away from anymore sarsaparilla.

Me on the other hoof, was still kind of thirsty. And seeing how I didn't shrivel up whenever I drank it, "Could I have another round of sarsaparilla though?" I asked the three of them.

Every pony but me, Scootaloo, and Apple Bloom went, "MHAM?!"

"I said, can I have another round? It's not that bad if you get past the whole salty taste." I said. I then looked to Scootaloo and Apple Bloom.

"Oh, uh, sure." Scootaloo said, a little thrown off that I wanted some even after tasting it. She filled up the jug and handed it to me, watching my reaction as I took another sip.

After taking another sip, I shook my head a little from the taste but I was still just fine. "Thanks you three. But if I were you I would put up a warning or something about the sarsaparillas." I told them.

"Right. Well, enjoy yer sarsaparilla I guess..." Apple Bloom said to me.

"I will thanks. How are you guys doing?" I asked, turning to the others.

"It's clearing up a little..." Applejack said, barely able to say much. "How are ya able ta stand that stuff?" She asked as we all started to walk off.

"Well, I always loved to eat salt and vinegar chips so I got used to salty foods. That, and my dad used to put like forty different spices on anything he ever made for us to eat. So I got used to extreme tastes like this. So it's not that bad." I said, taking another sip. "Still, it's not as good as this whole famous sarsaparilla recipe sounds." I told them, looking at it.

"Well" Pinkie said, getting her ability to talk after ducking her head under some water that was in a barrel. To bad she drank it all before the others could get to it. "there's always next time!" She finished happily.

"Well until then, what should we do now?" Twilight asked.

To try to think of something, I took out that brochure to try to look for something, but as I opened it I saw something odd. Inside the brochure was a picture of a statue. "Who's this?" I asked, showing the picture to them.

"Oh, that's the pegasus that I was telling you about. The one pegasus hero that brought equality between the three types of ponies." Twilight said.

"You know, he kind of looks like you Blitz. Why if I knew any better I would say that he's related to you." Rarity observed.

"Me? A hero? Ha, that's a laugh." I said, putting the brochure back in my pocket. "I'm no hero." I said.

"Oh come now Blitz. Honestly you can't say that can you?" Rarity asked.

"I did and I'll say it again. I'm not a hero. Besides, if I was I definitely wouldn't want to have some kind of holiday about whatever I would've done like this. And how do I even look like him? Ignoring the fact that we both have wings, we don't have anything in common." I told them, looking at the picture of the statue.

"You're kidding right? You and him are like one in the same!" Rainbow Dash yelled at me.

"Plus you do act like a hero... That is if you don't mind me saying that is." Fluttershy told me.

"Okay, name one time I acted like a hero." I challenged them.

"What about when you saved some of the Ponyville Construction Crew from falling off of the unstable house in-progress?" Twilight asked.

"Oh please, I was just at the right place at the right time." I dismissed.

"What about beating the Flim Flam Brothers single-hoofed when they became mayors of Ponyville?" Spike added.

"I wasn't a hero. Because of my short temper, they were mayors in the first place. So I had some personal revenge of cleaning up my own mess. Face it guys, I'm no hero. And if I am, then I am not good at what I do. Besides, how could I possibly be related to some pony who brought equality to Equestria? Scratch that, how could I be related to any pony that was actually BORN in Equestria?" I asked them.

"We never said you were related to him. Just that you look a lot like him and that you're kinda heroic." Twilight said to me.

"Pfft. I've said it before I'll say it again. I am not a hero." I told them, bringing this argument to an end.

"HELP!" We heard two young voices yell out from somewhere a little away from where we were.

"What was that?" Fluttershy asked, looking around.

"Sounds like some pony's in trouble. Come on!" Applejack yelled out to all of us as she ran towards the sound. All of us following right after her.


After running for about a minute, I noticed that we were a decent amount away from the celebration.

"HELP!" I heard the two voices call out again from right around the corner. I was towards the back of the group so I heard it first.

"This way!" I called out to them, turning down the road. They all stopped and turned around, trying to follow after me now.

I was the first one to get there, and what I saw was something kind of shocking. It was two unicorns, one with a snail for a Cutie Mark and the other with a pair of scissors. And they were trying to run from a light purple portal with multi colorful streaks in it that was sucking everything around it in.

Seeing as how they were almost about to be sucked in, I acted as fast as I could because I was the first and only one there at the moment. I charged at them and tackled them away from the portal, getting them a safe distance away from the portal so they would be okay.

Sadly, by doing this I was now in danger of being sucked in. If I tried to fly away from it, then I would only get sucked in sooner since I wasn't anchored down to the ground. So that only left me one option. Run.

So that's exactly what I did. I kept trying to run away from the portal, and probably running from my death while I was at it.

That's when the others finally arrived at the scene. They saw how the two colts were off to the side, winded and exhausted from running, and they saw me running from the portal.

"What in the name of Equestria happened?!" Twilight asked, not sure what was going on.

"Those two over there were being sucked into this portal thing! I knocked them outta the way, but now I'm running from my life!"

"How do you know it's a portal?!" Twilight kept asking.

"Does it look like I should care what this thing is?! Portal or not, I could use some help!" I yelled to them, getting tired quickly of playing twenty questions while running from my life from a freak portal or whatever this was.

And no matter how fast I ran, it was like I was on a treadmill because I was running in place at this point. And I only felt the portal thing get stronger, and me get more and more tired out.

"Hold on!" Applejack yelled out as she threw her rope over at me and it snagged around my neck. They all then started to pull, helping me to get free.

But it wasn't enough. I saw myself getting closer and closer towards the portal, no matter how hard we all tried to get away from it. And if that wasn't bad enough, I saw that the portal was so strong that all of us were starting to be pulled in. They were all trying to pull the rope back as hard as possible, but they were all starting to slide forward from the strength of the portal.

I couldn't let that happen. Not to all of us. I stopped running and just tried to stand in place, turning towards all of them, and even the two colts who were trying to pull at this point.

"Every pony..." I said calmly, making them all look at me, confused. "Let go." I told them.

"Are you crazy?!" The shorter one of the two young unicorns asked.

"That thing will get you!" The tall one said.

"Yeah, but better it be just me, than all of us." I yelled back calmly. "Let go, or you'll all be sucked in!" I told them.

The two looked at each other, wondering what to do. But they knew I was right and let go, backing up from the growing portal that was behind me.

"ALL of you got to let go!" I said to them.

"No way Blitz! We ain't leavin ya ta be sucked in like this!" Applejack said through her teeth that were pulling the rope.

"Applejack, you know that you have to let go." I told her. I then thought of something that would make her let go. "What about Apple Bloom huh? What's she gonna think if you get sucked into this thing?" I asked her.

That got her to realize that I was right. She thought for a few more seconds before sighing and letting go. "I'ma sorry Blitz... Wish I coulda helped ya..." She said. She then backed away over to the two unicorns.

I felt me slide back a foot or two towards the portal. Now I was only ten feet away from the portal.

"Rarity, same goes for you. Sweetie Belle would be brought to tears if you're gone. Not to mention, who would take care of Opal? Or your Boutique?" I asked her.

Rarity knew I was right, but was hoping that I wouldn't bring any of that up. She looked about to cry, but let go and nodded, going over to the others who stopped.

"Spike, I never saved your life. So the Dragon Code has nothing to do with this. Let go." I told him sternly. I had to convince him to let go next for helping the others to let go.

He knew that I was right, but shook his head. "No way Blitz! I'm not letting go!" He yelled out, though in tears from the fear of it all.

"Spike, you know it's the right thing to do. Besides, it's not worth giving up those you love to be around just to try to die saving me." I told him.

I knew that if I was getting him to give up, then I had to point out those he was giving up to try to help me. Hearing the word 'love' made him realize what I was talking about without saying it directly. His jaw trembled a little, but he nodded and let go. He then went over to Rarity and the others.

With Rarity and Spike now giving up, I felt myself move about half a foot towards the portal. I was still on all fours, refusing to give into the portal with some of them still hanging on.

So I had to have them give up too. "Fluttershy, think of every pony and animal that's going to miss you. You don't want all of them to be sad do you?" I asked her.

She didn't have to think to hard about it. She didn't want to make any of them sad that she was gone. She nodded and backed away, starting to cry softly.

"Pinkie Pie-" I started. But she stopped me before I even got a chance to say anything else.

"I know..." She said, her mane deflated from being so sad. She just let go and went to the others, looking really sad. I didn't expect anything like that to happen.

With her and Fluttershy letting go, I slid back about three feet. Leaving me about six feet away from the portal.

"Twilight, you have to let go too." I called out. I was really close to the portal, and the second I went in was the second that I couldn't convince them to give up anymore. Meaning that if any pony was still holding on, they would be sucked in no question.

"No Blitz! I'm not letting you let go, and you can't convince me other wise!" She told me, looking determined.

"Oh really? That so? Twilight, what about you being Princess Celestia's number one student?" I asked her.

"She'll understand!" She yelled out through her teeth. Though I knew that had an effect on her because her voice cracked.

"And what about all of your friends here?" I called out.

"They know that I'm risking my life to save another friend! They understand too!" Twilight dismissed that theory, but she didn't exactly look like she was sure anymore.

"So you think that Spike will be alright without you?" I asked her. She was like a big sister to him, and just about the only immediate family he had.

"I...He can..." She tried to think of something.

"And you heard what Princess Celestia said before! You need to be around for the Elements of Harmony to even work! What if something happens?!" I asked, putting emotion into what I said because I felt myself slowly being drawn in.

"...Okay...you win Blitz..." She said with only sadness and regret in her voice. She let go and backed away, not looking away from where I was.

That only left one pony left to convince to let go. And I knew this was going to be the hardest one yet. The Element of Loyalty, Rainbow Dash.

"Rainbow Dash...You know you can't save me." I said to her.

"Doesn't mean I'm giving up!" She told me, flying in the air and pulling the very end of the rope with both front hooves and her mouth.

"But it does mean you're giving up being the fastest flyer in Equestria." I told her with a calm expression.

"SO?!" She asked me, furious I was trying to bring this stuff up. She tried to ignore it all, but all of us could tell that this was all going to get to her.

"And giving up being a Wonderbolt." I reminded her.

"So?" She asked with a little less enthusiasm.

"And if this portal ends up...you know...Then not only are you giving up those titles, but you would be giving up flying!" I struck her right in the one thing that she loved most. Her ability to fly.

"I... So what?! I know what you're trying to do, and it's not gonna work!" She said to me. She had her mind-set on risking her life just to save a friend. So that left me to do something else. Something that would work for sure.

"Okay fine, keep pulling me then! It's not like you were any good at flying anyway!" I yelled out.

That made her go wide-eyed. "What?! I'm an awesome flyer!" She said, letting go of the rope with her mouth. That left her only pulling with her hooves.

"Yeah right! You would probably never make it as a Wonderbolt anyway!" I continued to insult her skills, this making her even more mad.

"Pfft! I'm THE best flyer in Equestria! You don't know what you're talking about!" She said, pointing one hoof at me. This leaving only one hoof to hold onto the rope.

"About your skills in flying?! Not one bit! At tricking you?!" I then jerked my head back, making her lose hold of the rope. "Yes." I finished.

The end of the rope then went into the portal, now instead of helping, just made it harder to get away from the portal.

They all watched as I was now starting to slide into the portal, all of them unable to do anything. They all closed their eyes, not wanting to see me get sucked into the portal.

But that didn't happen. After a few seconds of them hearing the portal still sucking in everything around it, they opened their eyes to see me. Starting to run forward so fast that I was actually starting to get some very slight distance between me and the portal. All because I had something with me. A Thunder Cloud Cupcake.

They all perked up upon seeing that. They all had relieved smiles, Applejack took off her hat in amazement, and Pinkie's mane re-inflated. "HA! GONNA TAKE A LOT MORE THAN THIS STUPID PORTAL TO BRING ME DOWN!" I yelled out through the Thunder Cloud Cupcake in my mouth. Because of it, I was going as fast as I would be flying after absorbing electricity. In fact, my legs were moving about as fast as a hummingbird's wings.

They all cheered as I started getting some more distance from the portal. I couldn't get the cupcake before because I was running, and I still didn't want the others to be hanging onto the rope because it would still put them in danger.

I thought it was all going to be okay. As I started to get to a point where the end of the rope started to come out of the portal, I thought it was okay now. By then I had absorbed all the thunder from the cupcake and I was running normally now, but it didn't matter. I was free enough so I was still safe.

But right as I started to slow down. Right as I thought I was in the clear, the unbelievable happened.

Out from the portal, a purple hoof came out of it. It then reached for the rope, just barely grabbing the end of it and pulling it back in. With the Thunder Cloud Cupcake all gone, I was being pulled back towards it now.

"What?!" I yelled out in pure shock as the tugging from the other side pulled me back into the range of the portal's absorbtion. I started running again, just barely keeping myself from going backwards anymore.

This went on for a few more seconds, before the even more unbelievable happened. Remember that tumbleweed from earlier I mentioned? Well it somehow made its way here, and even more exact, it made its way over to where I was. This causing me to trip over it.

"OH, YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!" I yelled out in rage. Without any warning, or anything to hold onto, I slid towards the portal.

"BLITZ!" They yelled out in fear and shock of seeing me be sucked in.

I was doomed. With nothing or no pony left to help or save me, as I was getting pulled in. And as I got closer, the suction got stronger. Making me go so fast towards it, that I ended up flying out of control into it.

The portal closed right behind me, all that's left was my tail. It spun around on the ground like a DeLorean licence plate before slowing to a stop. It being the only trace left of me after I was sucked through the light purple colored portal.

All of my friends that were there just looked at it with wide-eyed jaw dropped expressions of shock. They couldn't say anything. They couldn't do anything else. All they could do was stare at the last part of me that remained. My metal. Lifeless. Tail.


And so begins the season finale. I honestly hope a lot of you will enjoy this, because there are so many things I've wanted to do with this finale, that I can't even fit them all into it! So, I have something good planned for it that will fit at around five or more chapters.

So until next chapter! Bye for now!

QotC: What would you do if you were in Blitz's place about the whole portal situation?
