From the Skies above
Chapter 30: Final Chapter
Previous ChapterTwilight trots up and asks. "So were will you go from here? I mean with your people that is?" I shrugged because of uncertainty. I honestly didn't know where I was going but felt a little better knowing I made such wonderful friends here that made my departure joyous and made it seem not so tragic.
I let Fluttershy go and stood up beside her. We made the most our last afternoon by taking a tour of Canterlot and made our way back to the courtyard shortly after sunset. We all stare up at the sky as a object leaving a bright green trail slowly made its way towards us.
I couldn't believe that this was it. I held my marefriend close as half of the city stood in awe along side us as it lit up the sky. The object circles around the palace with bright lights flashing and set itself down like a dainty little butterfly. Fluttershy drops a bag off her sides and says to me. "Oooh I almost forgot. Heres the things you left in the castle." I smile and open it up to see the strange looking pistol along with my knife and wallet.
The craft was smaller than the others I saw about the size of an SUV but taller. The hatch opens showing a well lit interior and a short figure standing at the opening. This Human was fitted like the rest I came across before complete with a respirator and mask. We stare in silence as he walked down the ramp and onto the ground.
He looks around at all the ponies and stops when he sees me. He walked up and bluntly asks in a stern voice. "You ready to go?" I nod my head and he motions me to follow him. I kneel down and look Fluttershy dead in the eyes and kissed her forehead and said. "This is goodbye. I hope you find somepony else that will treat you with the love and
kindness you have showed me." I start tearing up and sniffling as I hugged her for the last time
I heard a deep voice yell out and say. "We only have a few minutes to evacuate hurry up!!!" I stand up and turn to him standing at the ramp and asked. "What do you mean EVACUATE!!???" I couldn't see his face through the mask but knew there wasnt something not quiet right about this.
I grab the gun from the bag and flipped the safety. He reached for his gun and I shot him dead in the face killing him instantly. All the ponies start and flee and panic besides the mane 6
I drop the gun and turn to look at the scared faces of the townsfolk as the ran away and said. "I knew there was a catch here. They were going to take me for the device I had and destroy this planet once they had it. I know you don't understand but I know my own people would use it to do evil things."
Fluttershy runs beside me and asks. "So what are you going to do now? Will you stay with us after all?" I knew I would upset her if I told her that the only way I could save them was to destroy the device. I look down at her and said with grimace. " I'm sorry but there is something I must do."
I grab the mans body and drag it inside and shut the hatch of the craft. I find the small control panel and sat down in the cold metal chair and begin flipping switches in fury. It hums to life and pops up a screen were I see everything on the outside of the craft. I played enough video games to know how to work analog sticks and slammed it forward and lifted off.
I could feel the Gforces almost tear my body apart as I left the planets gravity. The turbulence settles soon after and the controls smoothed out. The vessel known as Leviathan by the markings was massive indeed spanning the length of a large city as it came into range.
I slowed down when I was a few kilometers away and the screens flashed and blared a frightening red light. A face appears on screen and informed me. Lt Delmus what is your status? You are on a collision course with us pull up!!!
I recognized his face as he repeats. "Lt Delmus I say again what is your STATUS!!! I put my face into his view and smiled as I said. "My status is good but yours is about to go red." His face was one of horror as I see him frantically flipping switches. I close my eyes when I was only meters away and felt the shock it made when I struck the side of the vessel. I felt no pain at all and blacked out into nothingness and let death take me .
From the surface all the ponies faces lit up as the spectacular light basked the ground like a second sun through the night sky. Fluttershy and the rest then realized what I did and why I had to do it. I wasn't going to let them hurt any of these wonderful creatures and would have died a hundred times
She wasn't in her right mind for a few years after and wouldn't leave her home or stop crying but she finally moved on with her life and married the handsome stallion known as Big Mac and had 2 wonderful foals. Every year on the date I left she made the trip to Canterlot where Twilight commissioned a statue of me to be built in the palace courtyard. She would bring flowers and her children and husband and tell them the story of the "Man that fell from the sky Daxxus Trang"
