Chapter 52

Sunset look down at the metal pole that she had impaled Sombra with. The unicorn had let out a scream as he was killed off for good. The rod did as Char had said it would, kill him and he wouldn’t be coming back this time. Sunset turn to Celestia who just stared at her across the battlefield. Sombra's soldiers were freed from his spell their helmets coming off their heads. But that didn't matter to the two of them.

"Came back to deal with another problem that you couldn't handle yourself, mom," Sunset said.

"You always did see me as that," Celestia said sadly.

"Too bad, I fooled myself into thinking that. As if you could ever be a mother," Sunset said causing Celestia to flinch at that.

"It doesn't mean we can't start anew," Celestia said.

"Me, Twilight, and Trixie have been traveling to different universes you know. It's where we picked up our new friends, Kasumi, Naruto, and Captain Planet. We ran into lots of our counterparts on our travels. In so many worlds that is like this one but slightly different, it’s always the same. You only started caring about me only after it’s too late to make amends,” Sunset said.

“I never stop caring about you,” Celestia said.

“Then why did you never once contact me? You had the journal, any time in the years I spent in the human world, not once did you ever write to me once. And when I return and sneaked into your room. I read your journals and know that because you felt I wasn’t ready for the power of an alicorn you did everything to stop me,” Sunset said.

“I felt you weren’t ready for that kind of power or responsibility,” Celestia said.

“And you’re wrong as you’re too use to everyone thinking you can’t do any wrong. It’s the reason why you were losing. The soldiers and wonderbolts are a joke. It’s amazing that they lasted this long. Of course, what do I expect from someone who sends their students to handle things,” Sunset said.

“I failed both you and Twilight. I’m sorry,” Celestia said.

“And that’s supposed to mean anything at this point?” Sunset said as she showed Celestia the worlds where she actually went and made up with her Sunset.

“What of the ones that are like us?” Celestia said seeing what could have been if she had acted when she had the chance to make up with Sunset.

“Far and few between and those Celestia earned their forgiveness. At this point mom there is nothing you can offer me,” Sunset said as she activated something she rarely use, blinding everyone as light surrounded her.

The light faded revealing Sunset now wore what looks to be a military uniform. A thigh length grey coat and matching pants with red and yellow highlights. She had on red tinted armor, gauntlets, boots, a metal chest plate and what looks like metal wings on her back. She wore a helmet in the shape of a unicorn with a glowing horn, in the place of the crown. She held a battle axe, it’s the length of her body and has a massive blade on it that run down about half the staff that it's attached to. That blade is attached to staff by thick metal clips that held the blade in place, while letting Sunset grasp it and use it like a staff if she needed to.

“You’re an alicorn?” Celestia ask.

“Human version and unlike the old model namely you, much more powerful. Me and the others only use our alicorn forms when we need the firepower. Unlike you who thinks it’s better to put their students in danger instead of sending ponies who would be better suited to do the job,” Sunset said.

“Secret test shouldn’t have lives on the line,” Twilight shouted out. She’s standing with the others of their group.

“You have no idea what it took to get Twilight to become relax from the pony you made her to be. You messed up with me and mess up Twilight. Both of us only got better only after we left you and stop believing that you couldn’t be wrong. I’m surprise that you haven’t already replaced Twilight and messing up another young pony in what you think they should be,” Sunset said.

“I want to make it up to you and Twilight,” Celestia said.

“I don’t need you anymore. I have my parents, who I need to see before we leave,” Twilight said.

“And I’m not your student and you never wanted me to be your daughter, mom,” Sunset said.

“Sunset can’t we put our past behind us and start new?” Celestia ask.

“How about a heart song to answer that,” Sunset said as she used the magic of Equestria to start a heart song.

‘I'm not your student anymore‘
‘I'm not that filly that you came here for‘
‘I'm not your student anymore‘
‘I just walk away’

‘You threw me out of your sight’
‘And look what happens’
‘Not one of your ponies anymore‘
‘It's worse than you could imagine’
‘You set me down this path’

‘No more family vacays together‘
'Cause your only daughter's no long that filly’
‘And if you actually paid attention to me‘

‘You'd see, I'm not your student’
‘I'm not your angsty daughter’
‘No matter what you believe‘
‘The apple's fallen far from the tree‘

‘It's not my life anymore‘
‘No more teacher’s useless lessons’
‘It's not my life anymore‘
‘No more waiting for mom to spend time with me’

‘Did you know that I wanted to be your daughter?
‘O-ooh’
‘And when you needed to be one, you gave that up without a fight’
‘Ah-ooh‘

‘Did you know mom, I wanted to be your daughter?
‘And you know, I push myself to prove it to you’
‘Nothing was good enough for you’
‘I had to research more and more forbidden magic just to please you’
‘And if you wonder what led your daughter astray‘
‘Well, mommy why don’t you look in the mirror’

‘Not your student‘
‘I'm not your perfect daughter’
‘I'm fucking filly’
‘At least I was before you abandon me’

‘Why does it hurt to love you?’
‘Why am I in pain?‘
‘Why does it hurt to know you?‘
‘You'll let me down again’
‘If I turned my insides out, would you even know that I was there?‘

‘Why does it hurt to love you?‘
‘Why does it hurt to love?‘

‘I'm not your student, not your daughter, not your child’
‘Now maybe you'll listen to me’
‘Or do you let me bleed?’
‘Now your daughter's not a pony no more’

‘Not at all your child!‘

‘Cause I'm not your student anymore‘

Celestia could only stare at Sunset having just used the heart song to reveal her true feelings towards her. Which unknown to her, Trixie had used eyebots to film the musical and broadcast to all of Equestria. Showing everypony what’s happening.

“Do you even have friends?” Sunset ask suddenly.

“What?” Celestia ask.

“Friends. You know what you always told me to go and make friends. You always said it’s easy and anyone could do it. But there’s an old saying ‘those who can’t teach’ which fits you well. Seeing how you don’t have any friends, just subjects,” Sunset said then she turns and walk to her group.

“Sunset don’t go,” Celestia shouted out.

“You don’t matter anymore,” Sunset said as they all teleported away. (1)


Author's Note

1 - Would had like it if they had Sunset and Celestia sat down and talk. Instead of Celestia just doing nothing while Sunset ask forgiveness when both sides are at fault.
