"OW!" Rainbow Dash yelled as she found herself on the ground. Applejack and Rarity proceeded to helping her back on her hooves. They had found themselves in front of a pile of trees sitting on top of what used to be Fluttershy's Cottage.

"Fluttershy!" Twilight called out and began towards the trees followed by Pinkie and a slowly walking Rarity and Applejack carrying a limping Rainbow Dash.

Twilight's horn began to glow as she got close. With strong telekinetic force, she heaved the trees, one by one out, of the way. Pinkie rushed past her and ran through the broken doorway. The roof and entire second floor of the cottage looked like it had just been ripped off. Twilight proceeded to galloping after Pinkie. After she ran inside. She saw Pinkie sitting. Seeing Pinkie's hair flattened immediatly sent up red flags in Twilight's mind.

"Pinkie what are you-"

When she reached Pinkie. She noticed her eyes were teary and she had a big frown.

"Pinkie? What's wrong?"

Pinkie raised her hoof and pointed to a yellow pony shaped body, impaled by a piece of wood, lying on the ground that Pinkie was looking at. It was lying in a pool of Blood surrounded by a number of small animals all looking at it.

"Flutt..er...shy." Was all she managed to say.

Twilight felt tears falling off her face. Pinkie suddenly started sobbing loudly.

Applejack, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash walked in with looks of shock. Tears began to trickle from their eyes down there faces at the sight of the remains of the kind, yellow pegasus they knew as their friend. Ovecome with sadness they all began to cry. Princess Celestia came along side them and looked. Twilight turn to her with a desperate look in her eye. She stuttered as she spoke.

"Princess... please tell me you can help her. Please tell me you can fix this."

"I'm sorry Twilight, I cannot." She returned, looking down at the ground.

Tears began to form under her eyes. Not only because of Fluttlershy's death but at the thought of knowing that she couldn't help her student and that she couldn't save her subjects. It frightened her to know that she didn't have the power to do so. In her entire life never once had she been faced with the task

What will happen to them when I can't protect them. She thought to herself.

Their sobbing began to fade as they began to think back to all the times they shared with Fluttershy. The memories didn't make the loss any easier but looking back on all the times they shared felt nice somehow.

I'll miss those trips to the spa. Knowing I had someone to talk to. It was nice knowing somepony cared to listen. And...now. Rarity didn't finish her thought.

Ah remember when you stood up to that dragon. Ah didn't know anypony could be so brave, not even Dash could look a dragon in the face like that. Now ah might never get to again. Applejack whispered to herself.

You were a year older... but Auntie Pinkie is still going to miss you and the parties we shared. Pinkie thought to herself.

That cheer you gave me in the best young flyer competition... that was the most awesome cheer ever. I'll never get to hear it again. Rainbow Dash began sob again at her own thoughts. Twilight put her hoof around the pegusus' neck.

You were always so kind, so thoughtful, so caring. You cared for not just for your animals, but for your friends. For us. And now... you'll never be able to again. Twilight thought.

"Might I ask what's troubling you?"

All of them nearly jumped and looked up to see a black and white alicorn floating in the air. He wasn't flapping his wings. Twilight's face changed from one of sadness to a mix of sadness and rage.

"You..." She uttered in a deep, hateful voice.

It had dawned on the others who this was and their faces twisted as well. Void looked over them only to receive angry glares.

"I was just curious. Is that so wrong?"

Instead of giving a response they contiued their glares.

"Well then, I guess I'm not wanted here so I suppose I'll just be-"

Void was turning around when he was cut off by Celestia.

"Wait!"

"Hm?"

"...Could... you... fix this? Restore her I mean."

Void floated down and landed in front of her. He stood several inches taller than her and slowly lowered his head to her level before he spoke.

"I could... but tell me. Why should I?"

"Because you killed her." Twilight interjected.

Void turned and gave her an annoyed look before walking over to her.

"I didn't kill her. The explosion did. An explosion that was never ment to harm any of you. It was simply one of the reprecussions of my arrival here. Her death was never my intention. To say I killed her would imply that I ment for her death to occur. Besides, even if I had intentionally killed her, what difference would it make? She'd still be dead and you'd apparently still be crying about it."

"She still died because of what you did."

"And that automatically means I should restore her? You must think life is all about equality don't you Twilight Sparkle. It does not work that way. If it were then your friend would have already been healed, your town restored, and I would be gone. All of it would have happened on its own without any sort of intervention."

"Hey! You can't treat her like she's stupid!" Rainbow Dash interjected. Void turned to her.

"I'm not. I'm simply telling her what is true. If I were 'treating her like she was stupid', I would blatantly tell her that she has no idea what she's talking about."

"Fluttershy's dead because of you! You don't even feel sorry for what you did to her!"

"How can one even feel sorry for someone whom he or she has never met? And even if I did know her, I'd likely think nothing more of her."

"She's my friend and you'd better think twice before trying to just walk off after killing her."

Void chuckled briefly.

"You know, it's funny how those who are inferior think so mightily of themselves. Just goes to show how self centered and spoiled they can be."

Rainbow Dash was about to say something but was hushed by Applejack.

"Why won't you help her?" the orange pony asked.

"I have no reason to."

"What might a reason to help her be?"

"I was hoping you could tell me seeing how you all seem to care so much about her."

Void turned to face the others. Giving them all an annoyed look.

"Because of what she does for others." Rarity managed to say.

Void turned to her and tilted his head, giving her an intrigued look.

"Go on."

"Well. She's always looking out for others and trying her hardest to be helpful."

"Helpful how?"

"She'll always be there to listen to your thoughts and opinions"

Void sighed and rolled his eyes.

"One's ideology is not worth caring for as it is only entirely true from one persons perception."

"She's also there for you when you need her to be to help support you to be your best." Rainbow Dash commented.

Void turned again with another look of intrest. Now looking straight at the hurting Pegasus.

"Support you how?"

"Well. At the best young flyers competition. She gave me an awesome cheer while I was competing. It made pulling off the sonic rainboom feel way cooler."

"Hmm. Interesting, but I'm still not convinced. You could easily receive such influence from others."

"She's also willing to stand up for her friends. Y'all remember that one time when we was tryin' to get that dragon to leave. The thing blew us back and she got all mad and stared it clear in the face and scared the thing." Applejack added.

"She is ambitious to aid others... interesting. That situation sounds more like pure luck though."

Pinkie spoke up, her hair was still flat and her voice lacked the energy that it usually had.

"She's really great at taking care of animals. That's her special talent you know. Being good with animals."

Void turned his head to face her.

"I'm listening."

"She always helps them get better when they get hurt. She'd nurture them in her cottage. Actually there were a lot that lived in her cottage... like these little guys." Pinkie Pie pointed to the animals that had gathered around Fluttershy's body. They were now looking at Void wide eyed.

"These creatures eh? Hmm..."

"She doesn't just take care of animals, she takes care of ponies too." Twilight offered.

"That's right, like when she took care of my sister and her friends. Sweetie Bell told me about how she managed to resist a Cockatrice stare that turns ponies to stone and save them." Rarity added.

"Hmmm. Interesting."

Void turned to look at Fluttershy's body. He walked up to it and wiped away some of the blood, revealing the three butterflies that serve as her cutie mark. He looked at them hesitantly then turned to face Celestia.

"What do you know of Fluttershy?"

Celestia hesitated. She wasn't sure what to say. She didn't really know Fluttershy that well. She barely had any personal experiances with the yellow pegasus. Most of what she had know was base upon letter sent to her by Twiligt. Celestia remembered the incident with her pet pheonix Philomena.

"Her heart is always in the right place. Even when she makes mistakes, like she did with my pet Philomena. But she learns from every mistake she makes. Just as her friends do."

Celestia looked back to the others as she spoke her last sentence. Void followed her glance and retuirned his gaze to her.

"Very interesting..."

Void turned back to Fluttershy's body. Looking down on her corpse, his stoic face started to turn into a smile.

"She sounds like a true matriarch. A true angel. I wonder if she was as powerful as me, would she be as utopian? Perhaps. Fate normally does not offer second chances but then again, fate must abide by my rulings... and... I think I have enough incentive to make one."

Twilight looked at him, her eyes wide, her hope was beginning  to return to her. The others looked on in awe as a hugh white ball of magic energy emenated from his horn, engulfing Fluttershy's body. The puddle of blood seemed to seep into the glowing white sphere. The energy around Voids horn seem to amplify, growing layers of energy around it. There was a blinding flash of light which lasted for a few seconds. As it receded, Twilight and her friends looked at Fluttershy. The blood was gone, the piece of wood that was impaled into her body was no where to be seen, her wings looked normally shaped and folded at her sides. She was lying there in front of them, her eyes closed. Slowly, Fluttershy opened her eyes, looking up to see them. She spoke in her ever so soft voice.

"Guys? What's going on? Why are you all crying?"

Her friends looked at her with wide smiles. Tears of joy now streaming down there faces.

"FLUTTERSHY!" Pinkie yelled, her hair sprung back to its normal puffy state as she did.

She quickly ran up to Fluttershy and gave her a tight huge. Everyone, including Rainbow Dash who had forgotten all about the pain she was feeling ran up to her and gave her a tight hug.

"Your alright." They all said in unison.

"Of course. Why wouldn't I be?"

Pinkie immediatly started talking at her insane speed again.

"Because Void made a big explosion. There were trees and rocks flying EVERYWHERE. It was CRAZY! They destroyed your house and killed you. And then we found you and were all super sad. I was afraid I'd never seen you again. I'd never get to have another party with you again. You weren't really much of a partyer but STILL. What would a party be without you!"

Fluttershy just sat there. It took her a minute to process what Pinkie had said.

"I...d-d-died?" Was all she managed to say. Her voice shrinking to a frail whisper.

"Yeah. But then he brought you back to life." Rainbow Dash interjected.

"He?" Fluttershy had turned and noticed the black and white alicorn standing several feet from her.

"A-a-are y-y-you-"

"Your savior? Yes, I am the one known as Void."

Fluttershy tried to hide her face behind her hair but found it difficult while in her friends' embrace. Twilight had turned to face him giving him weak smile. She was uncertain of what to think of Void now.

"Thank you..." she whispered. Void raised an eyebrow at this.

"What for? You gave me reasons for her to continue her life. In fact her resurrection is more your doing than it is mine."

"But your're the one who brought her back. That's something we couldn't do."

Void shook his head at this.

"You know Twilight Sparkle, I think you look too deeply into things. Seeing them as more then they actually are. That can cause obssesion over small details you know. I would think that thinking in such a manor is unhealty. I'm going to be leaving now. But before I do, I'd like you to know that this wasn't what I meant when I said we'd meet again."

Void's gave them a stern look as her and started floating in the air once more.

"You should not think so fondly of me. Especially given what now lies ahead of you. You have managed to give me insight into something that will most likely impact all of your lives. Expect my presents in the future... all of you."

In a flash of magic energy, he was gone. Leaving the seven of them.

"Rainbow Dash! What happened to your wing?" Fluttershy asked now seeing her wing. Rainbow Dash only responded with a heavy sigh. At which Pinkie laughed.

"We should get you to the hostital." Celestia suggested.
