Chapter 27: Into the Human World

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

When the four mares passed through the portal it took them only a single blink to reach the other side.

Twilight started getting up slowly, trying to get the hand of walking in two again.

"Twilight?" Celestia asked when she saw her in her human form.

Celestia then looked at her hoof to only find a hand.

"Twilight...what has happened to me?"

"Don't worry about it Princess." Twilight said as she lifted Celestia up in two.

"This is how the inhabitants of this world look like."

Celestia tried to gain her balance because it proved difficult for her to stay up in two.

Twilight grabbed her quickly to prevent her from falling down.

"Now Princess....."

Before Twilight could say anything else Luna started waking up.

"Sister?" She said in a low voice.

Celestia got on her knees and hugged Luna.

"I am so sorry Luna!" She said as tears started running down her cheecks.

"If only i had acted quicker. I could have saved you from all this pain." Celestia said as she was reffering to her other half being consumed by Nocturne.

"Don't worry about me....sister.....You did all you could. But now, we have other problems."

Cadence was also awake. With her back on the Canterlot High Statue. Looking down on the floor with her eyes wide open.

Celestia helped Luna up and helped her gain her balance as well.

The two Princesses then picked up their weapons from the ground and said.

"Twilight check on Cadence.....i am sure she must be in shock now." Celestia said.

Twilight noded and then sat next to Cadence.

"Hey.....Cadence...i wanted to talk to you."

"Leave me alone Twilight....please....."

"Cadence i know it must be hard for you but....."

"NO TWILIGHT! MY HUSBAND! YOUR BROTHER AND MY CHILD! THEY ARE BOTH DEAD! THAT FUCKING BASTARD KILLED THEM BOTH ALONG WITH YOUR FRIENDS!"

Cadence then grabbed the edge of the statue and got up while still holding it in order not to fall down.

"AND SOON HE WILL COME AFTER US! YOU THREE ALREADY HAVE YOUR WEAPONS BUT HOW CAN I FIGHT HIM WHEN ALL I HAVE IS THIS USELESS STRING?! LETS JUST GIVE UP! I DO NOT FEEL LIKE LIVING ANYMORE!"

Cadence was right. Nocturne did kill them all. Twilight soon then started crying and hugged Cadence.

"I just! I can't give up! My friends are gone! And this sword will help me-no it will help us defeat Nocturne!"

"But what's the point, even if we defeat we have nothing to return to. Everypony is dead! EQUESTIRA IS DEAD!"

They then heard a ring from the building in front of them. From the main doors of the building, children and kids alike came out and taking their separate ways. The humans gave the four women strange looks, because of their weaponry and armor that Celestia and Luna were wearing.

Twilight then started hearing familiar voices coming from inside the building and then the Human world's Twilight appeared along with the other human counterparts.

When the two groups faced each other the Twilight from this world was left with her jaw open up. However Pinkie Pie pushed it up and said.

"Don't leave it open for too long, a fly might....fly in there."

"Um...girls are ya seein what i am seein?" Applejack asked.

"Um Twilight....i get it that this is our Twilight from the pony world but.....why are the Principals wearing armor?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Because they are not from here." The pony Twilight now transformed into a human said.

Before she could say anything else her friends' counterparts hugged her tightly.

"We missed you so much sugar cube!"

"Yeah! Totaly! I am so glad our pony egg head is back!"

"Rainbow....um that wasn't very nice....." Fluttershy said.

"I am going to have to throw a welcome party for all of you!"

Pinkie pie then extened her hand and it started wrapping itself around The Three other princesses and brought them up close to join in the hugg.

"This is.....suffocating!" Luna said.

"Then....haha you must be Twilight's friends from this world?" Celestia asked with a nervous laughter.

And then from the main doors three more figures appeared.

Twilight then looked at them and said as she broke the hugg.

"Sunset!"

Twilight then run at her hugging her instantly.

"Twilight! What are you doing here?"

"It's a long story, but right now....i am glad that we escaped."

"Escaped? From who?"

Celestia, Luna and Cadence then also broke the hugg and they saw next to Sunset their human counterparts.

Twilight seeing the both of the groups confused she got in the way with a nervous smile and said.

"Princess Celestia, Princess Luna and Princess Cadence......this is Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna.....they are in charge of Canterlot High....this school is called....that...."

"Sunset Shimmer? Is that really you?" Celestia asked.

Sunset Shimmer was surprise to see her old teacher, she looked down and said.

"I...um....."

Before she could continue, Celestia who had already gotten used to walking hugged Sunset and said.

"I am so happy to finaly be able to see you again."

Sunset then hugged her back and said.

"I...feel the same way."

"Twilight has been telling me a lot of great things about you Sunset and....i am proud of you."

"T-thank you Princess Celestia! Thank you so very much!"

Luna then approached from behind her and said.

"Sister as much i would hate to ruin the moment but.....we have to leave now."

"Wait...you are leaving?" Said the Human Celestia.

"Even if it's a shock that we are seeing ourselves from another reality.....there is no need for you to leave. I mean if you got here with all these weapons and armor that you carry....there must be a very good reason for you to come here." The Human Luna said.

"Please, stay with us. Your Twilight has done so much for us, we only ask that we do the same for you now." The Human Celestia said.

"That doesn't sound half bad......and now that i think about it we need every help with can get right now." Princess Celestia said.

"I....agree too. I suddenly....don't feel so well......" Luna said as she put her head on her forehead.

"Then let's go to our house and we will talk there where we will be more comfortable." The Human Celestia said.

"And excellent idea sister, let's get going."

They then got in two different cars.

In Celestia's car there were Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Twilight and Cadence.

"So....how do you like our world so far?" Human Celestia asked.

"It's.....strange.....but we will adapt." Princess Celestia said.

"I too have to get used to talking to my other self from the other world. Saying it outloud makes it even more weird....."

"And if i may ask.......Cadence....you don't look very good, is everything ok?" The Human Celestia asked again.

"Just leave me alone....please....leave me to my thoughts....."

"Ok....i am sorry...."

Cadence was not feeling alright. Just a moment ago she lost her husband and child. Now she is on a whole different world, stuck in a form she deeply hated and with one thing in mind......Revenge.

Twilight was having the same thoughts as well. She lost her student, her number one assistant and her brother. She wanted to cry, to scream! To shout! But she had to keep her mind in check and not lose focus.

In Luna's car. There were the human version's of the mane six along with Sunset Shimmer what caused all of them to be cramped in the car.

"I am so sorry that we have to drag you all with us. This is a serious matter and you kids would be in grave danger."

"It's ok Vice Principal......we owe Princess Twilight." Sunset Shimmer said.

"Yes, after all she did for us." Fluttershy said.

"She is our friend after all!" Applejack said.

"And she was the one who broughts us back together!" Rainbow Dash said.

"Yes, yes she is the most wonderful person....or pony i have ever met,i wouldn't mind risking it all for her!" Rarity said.

Luna smiled and said.

"Princess Twilight is blessed to have friends like you."

The other Twilight was happy to know that these people were so close with the Pony Twilight. Something that made her to want to try her hardest to reach the same status as her counter part.

After some time they had finaly reached Celestia's and Luna's House. They got inside, they all sat down on the living room and started talking.

"Now then.....has something important happened to your world that forced you to come here?" Celestia asked.

"Yes....something very terrible....." Twilight said.

"What is it then?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"You see there is a.....pony our.....brother Nocturne.....it's a big misunderstanding.....i just....." Celestia couldn't find any more words to continue.

The two human sisters looked at each other with a shocked face when they heard the word Nocturne.

"And....." The human Luna said.

"Basically we are the only survivors......Equestira has fallen!" Luna said.

"WHAT!" They all shouted.

"But! That's impossible!" Sunset Shimmer said as she got up.

"What happened to the Elements of harmony!? Why didn't you use them to defeat this......Nocturne Character! And.....you also have a brother Princess?"

"Yes....i wasn't honest with you my dear Sunset....i wasn't honest with any of my subjects and now....they paid the price...."

"That is horrible!" Fluttershy said.

"But.....why is this happening? What does he want from you?" The Human Twilight asked.

"Our Magic." Luna said.

"In our world there are Gods and a lot of Cosmic Entities. Nocturne wants to get his revenge on one of them."

"So you are telling me.....Nocturne plans to battle a God?!" Sunset Shimmer asked.

"Yes....but this sword that i carry....it possess immense amount of power. A power that Nocturne needs along with all the other weapons of ours to defeat Phobetor."

"Phobetor? Who in the hey is that?" Applejack asked.

"The God that Nocturne wasn't to kill.....but as we said before, our powers are needed to fight him."

"And in the process we lost.....everything." Luna said.

Cadence then slowly started crying and after a second it turned into a full out burst of tears.

Rarity then got up, gently grabbed her by her arm and said.

"Let's wash these tears away darling, the bathroom is this way.....i think."

And they both left.

"She....lost her husband and child.....it was very devastating to watch......" Celestia said.

"And what are you gonna do now Princess? This Nocturne wants you dead, how do you fight back?" Sunset Shimmer said.

"I don't know.....i don't think that there is anything we can do.....he is powerful and we are......."

Luna however interrupted her and said.

"Sister wait.....if in this world there are other versions of ourselves.....doesn't that mean that.....there is another Nocturne?"

There was silence in the room for a moment, then everyones gazes were set upon the two Human Sisters.

"About that.....um....." Celestia said.

"Nope! Forget it! You are not gonna get close to that madman!" Luna said.

"So there is a Nocturne in this world! We should get his help then." Princess Luna said.

"Sister wait!"

"No Celestia! This is the opportunity we need! Cause with this world's Nocturne on our side we will have a fighting chance!"

"Listen to me......our Nocturne is......"

"Just say it sister."

"He......is insane."

"Insane? How insane?" Twilight asked.

"What if i told you that my brother has a School Island." The Human Celestia said.

"A school?" Princess Celestia asked.

"Yes.....yes a school........which is also an ASYLUM!" The Human Luna said.

"But we have no other choice......we can at least....try to convince him to help us.....right?" Twilight asked.

"As we told you before he is insane and i doubt that he would want to help you anyways." Luna said.

"Please just.....let us see him. He may be the only one who can save us. Save Equestira! Please....you have to take us to him." Celestia said.

The two Human sisters got up and started whispering near a corner.

"This is wrong.....i knew i had a bad feeling when i first saw them coming from that portal!"

"Luna calm down......they are just scared, they would do anything to survive."

"But showing them where Nocturne is?! Have you gone mad?! You know what he will do if he loses his temper!"

"I....know but.....they need our help! They are desperate! And remember Luna, they just lost everything....i mean their Cadence lost her family! Imagine something like that happening to us! Or anyone! You have to understand Luna....we have to help."

Luna growled a little and said.

"Fine....but if this backfires....."

"It will not! Nocturne is a smart man....he....he will see reason."

Luna then sighted and said.

"Alright.....alright...."

They returned back to the others and Celestia said.

"Ok....we will take you to him."

"Take us to who?" Asked Cadence who was coming from the bathroom along with Rarity.

"To the human version of Nocturne. He is going to help us."

"There is another thing like him here too?! I am sorry but....i just cant! Not after what happened!"

"Cadence listen to me, this Nocturne may be the only one who can save us right now. I wouldn't want to force anyone in this world to fight for us.....but there is no other choice." Celestia said.

"But who can guarentee that he isn't as crazy as OUR Nocturne! This whole thing is confusing!"

"Hey....perhaps we can help you guys out too!" Rainbow Dash said.

"Yes!! And after we defeat that meany Nocturne we can have a huge celebration party! With cake! And balloons! And...!"

"I am sorry girls but....i do not want you to get involed it is too dangerous." The Human Celestia said.

"My sister is right, you all need to go to your homes now, you have no reason to visit our brother." The Human Luna said.

"I guess it makes sence....ok we will go." Sunset Shimmer said.

"Yes it is probably for the best......i hope that you will be safe Sunset....all of you." Celestia said.

Sunset gaze her a hug and said.

"I hope that you will be safe too.....it has just been so long......"

"I know....it was hard for me too. But when it is all over i am letting you know that you can returne to Equestria whenever you want. It will make me happy to see my old student again."

They exchanged a smile and Sunset left along with everyone else.

"Ok....i am gonna make a phone call i will be right back."

Celestia said and she left the room.

She pulled out of her pocket her phone and started calling. After a few seconds someone answered the phone.

"Hey....brother it's me......yes i...i am doing fine......listen....some....people need your help. No, not at all, it is very important and....it has also something to do with you. Hmm? Ok i will bring them over."

She closed the phone and rejoined the others.

"Ok we are leaving now."

"So he agreed?" Cadence asked.

"He didn't tell me, but he wants to meet you."

"And how will we get there?" Luna asked.

"There is a port just a few miles away from here, there we will get a boat and make our way to the island." The Human Luna said.

"And one more thing before we go.....what do you mean by....'phone call'. What is that if you don't mind me asking." Celestia asked.

"It's....like the letters we send each other Priness but....it allows those who use it to ingage into a directly conversation." Twilight said.

"Intresting....." She replied.

"Let's just get going....we don't have time to waste, Nocturne might be close" Luna said.

They all then got out of the house and made their way to Celestia's car. They got inside and after some time they reached the port.

"Damm it!" Celestia said.

"What happened sister?" Asked Luna.

"How do we...even hide our weapons and armor? Or the fact that we look exactly the same as the others? There is no magic in this world correct?"

"Don't worry....i have an idea." The Human Celestia said.

In front of the giant metal ship there was a man. He was well buffed, his skin was black with short brown hair and he was wearing a black uniform with black glasses. He then saw Celestia, Luna, Cadence and Twilight approaching. To their side however there were two figures covered by a big cloak each.

"We are here to see my brother." Celestia said.

"Oh....oh yes i remember you! You are his sisters...that he hates." The man said.

"Listen we aren't here to start no trouble. We just want to talk to him." Twilight said.

"Yeah right!" He then gazed upon the two cloaked figures.

"And who are you two? Remove these cloaks and show me your faces!"

"Wait! Um....my little brother called us...he is expecting them." Luna said.

"Well i didn't get a phone call from him. You think you can just lie and...."

Before he could continue a beep was heard from his left pocket.

"Give me a sec!" The man said as he picked up his phone.

"Yeah boss? Hmm? Hahahah yeah....ok sir i will grant them passage. They just arrived. Ok"

He closed his phone and put it back on his pocket.

"You are lucky that my boss just called right now. He said that he is expecting you."

"That will teach you a lesson brute!" Luna said.

"Just get in the boat before i change my mind!"

Luna just smiled and said.

"But of course! We wouldn't want to get fired anyways!"

And they all got inside the giant boat.

On top of the ship, the two figures removed their cloaks revealing to be Celestia and Luna. Celestia appraoched Twilight. gave her sword and said.

"Here Twilight, this belongs to you."

"Thanks Princess, i am just glad that we are making progress."

"Yes i know what you mean. But let's just hope that this other Nocturne will help us. He is the only hope we have."

"I hope so too. Without an army or a plan we can not hope to defeat our Nocturne....but even if we do.....what will we do next?"

"What do you mean Twilight?"

"It's just that......everypony is dead." She said as she started crying remembering everything that just happened.

"When Nocturne is defeated...there won't be anything left for us to go back too! What's the point of....even fighting if not for surviving being hunted?"

"Twilight.....listen to me. When we.....manage to.....kill Nocturne.....i will take you to my home."

"What?"

"To the place where I and Luna were born. There you will be able to start your life again, both you and Cadence if Equestira is no longer restorable."

"Really? Princess i....i am so happy!"

Twilight then hugged her tightly.

"I know you are.....but until then i promise to keep you safe."

And she hugged her too.

Some time passed while they were on the ship. They were the only ones on board along with some teenagers who were giving them strange looks due to the fact that they were looking exactly like their human counterparts. Luna however was sitting into a corner looking at her Scythe.

Something weird has happened ever since Nocturne had killed her other part Nightmare Moon. She could feel a strange contection to her Scythe. It calmed her down and it's iron grip was no longer feeling cold, but rather warm and rather light than heavy. She could also feel the Scythe's powers, it's energies reminded her of the Dream Realm, not the Nightmares though, just the Dreams. And only these Dreams will give her the power she needs to Defeat Nocturne.

As for Twilight, she too was at a corner looking at her sword. The sword that was created through the sacrifice of her friends. "They are lost forever." She thought.....however.

"If only there was another way....you didn't have to die...." Twilight said as she was looking at the sword.

"Twilight!" She heard a voice.

It was low, like a whisper. She started looking around to find out who called out for her.

"Hello?"

"Twilight! We are here!"

"What? Where?"

This voice felt familiar to Twilight. Something that made her more focused and she kept on looking around to find the source of the voice.

"We are here!"

Twilight then looked on her sword and she saw her friends inside of their jewels. Twilight shocked threw the blade away from her and backed away.

"Ouch!"

"What the!"

"Twilight! It's us!"

"It....it can't be!"

She got closer to the blade, she then extended her hand and grabbed it.

She then looked again on the sword and she saw them. Her friends.

"Girls! Oh my gosh! How?!?!"

"We are just as confused as you are Twilight!" Rainbow Dash said.

"The last thing i remember was being hugged by the tree of harmony! And i woke up here!" Pinkie Pie said.

"Twilight! What the hey is goin on!" Applejack asked.

"Yeah and......darling....what happened to you! You look different!" Rarity said.

"Guys just listen! First i know that i am not a pony anymore. We opened up the portal to the human world so that we could escape. We had no other choice."

"Then....does that mean that? Fluttershy started."

"Yes.....The Crystal Empire is gone. Along with everypony in it.....even my brother, Starlight.....Spike and even Flurry Heart..."

They all gasped at the terrible news.

"No....not my Spikey Wikey!" Rarity said with tears running down her cheecks.

"Twilight tell me this isn't true!" Pinkie Pie said.

"If only we had been there! We could have helped you! Damm that bastard Nocturne!" Rainbow Dash said.

"Calm down Rainbow Dash....there was nothin we could have done." Applejack said.

"This is terrible! Why poor Flurry Heart?!" Fluttershy said.

"I know.....i know this is a lot to take in....but it is true. Equestria is lost...." Twilight said.

They didn't say anything. They didn't even know what to say. Their home was lost, their families and they were now stuck in Twilight's Sword with no way out.

"No! I won't allow this!" Rainbow Dash said.

"We can't just sit here crying! Nocturne is still out there! Hey Twilight! Tell me you have a plan to make him pay!"

"Well....actually....Now that we are in the human world, we decided to look for.....Nocturne's human counterpart...."

"WHAT?!" They all said.

"I know....it's crazy. But....he may be our only hope. And if we manage to bring him to our side, we might have a chance to defeat our Nocturne!"

"But.....isn't this world's Nocturne....evil as well?" Fluttershy asked.

"From what i have heard i have to say that......well it is complicated.....this world's Celestia and Luna don't seem to get along with him...."

"That gives ya all one more reason to stay away from him!" Applejack said.

"But we have to try! We have no other choice....and i doubt that we alone can stand against who knows how many monsters and Nocturne! We need all the help we can get....even if it's.....from this world's Nocturne."

She then saw at the distance a small island. On it there was this huge building almost like a mansion.

"Wow...."

"What is it Twilight?" Pinkie Pie asked.

"Nothing....you guys just stay put."

She then met up with the Three Princesses and Their Human Counterparts.

"We are here.....wear your cloaks again. We don't want to look suspicious." Celestia said.

The two royal sisters wore their cloaks again and they got out of the ship.

They then started walking to the main building. In the yard they were a lot of students. Most of them were fighting and were insulting one another. There were also some middle aged men all around the school who were wearing black outfits just like the first man they saw before they got in the ship. These men appeared to be getting in the way of all the fighting and stopping the children from hurting one another.

"This looks terrible....who would send their kids to this school?" Cadence said.

"I know right.....all the kids are.....fighting....." Twilight said.

"Don't hold it against them.....most of these kids are either orphans or were thrown away by their parents....this school is the only thing that they can call home.....and my brother has dedicated himself on creating....this." Celestia said.

"Maybe....but that doesn't change the fact that he is insane!" Luna said.

"But...why do you have to talk so bad about your own brother? I understand that our situation is far worse but he hasn't tried to kill you has he?" Twilight asked.

"Just......shut up!" Luna almosted shouted.

The others didn't say anything. They were just shocked, what could the Human Nocturne have done that was so bad to the Human versions of Celestia and Luna?

They then got inside of the school and just like outside, the kids in the school were fighting, shouting and insulting one another. They did their best to stay out of their way and make their way to the Principal's Office were the human Nocturne would wait.

"This is it.....we are here." Celestia said.

"It was about time, i'd hate to spend more time down there with these kids...." Luna said.

"Ok...we are ready. Let's get insie...." Twilight said.

Celestia then knocked on the door and then a voice was heard from the inside.

"You may come in!"

They all then got in, closed the door behind them and saw a beutiful young man sitting in front of a big desk.

His eyes were blue, he had short black hair and he was wearing a black outfit wiht blue lines all over it and on the back of the outfit there was A Big Red Scar With A Dark Aura Radiating out of it.

"Greetings....sisters..." He said.

"Brother...." Celestia said.

"I suppose these are the people that wanted to talk to me? Is that correct?"

"Yes...yes they are." Luna said.

"Good...now if you please.....remove those cloaks. Don't you know that it is not polite to talk to someone when your face is covered?"

Celestia and Luna did as he said. They removed their cloaks and revealed to him their faces along with their weapons and armors.

"Well...that's not something you see everyday..."He said.

"Wait....that's Nocturne?" Luna asked.

"Apparently....yes.." Twilight said.

"You don't seem suprised at all to see us." Celestia said.

And he just laughed.

"To tell you the truth i have seen some serious shit in my life, so that wouldn't suprise me at all. But....that's not why you came here, right?"

"It's true....we have need of you....." Celestia said.

"Really now?"

He then got up, he made his way to a corner with some empty boxes. He picked one up, turned it around and started moving it up and down in an attempt to make something fall out of the empty box.

"Um....what are you doing?" Luna asked.

"Can't you see? I am trying to find any fucks to give to help you....and i am out. Sorry." He said and he went back to his chair.

"Now if that is all......BEGONE THOTS!"

"Just....brother please....hear them out! This is far more important that you can imagine!" The Human Celestia said.

"Bullshit! Why would i listen to them? When all in my life now are perfect?!"

Luna then stepped in. She smashed her hands on his desk and said.

"Listen here you bastard! Just an hour ago we escaped the total destruction of our home! And we came here to ask for your help to fight with us your pony counterpart!"

"Luna wait!" Celestia said.

"Wait what?" He asked.

Celestia sighted and said.

"Yes....it is true. We come from another world, a pony world....there we fought against somepony.....and he seeks to destroy us....."

"Listen i know it's hard to believe but it is true!" Twilight said.

"Brother just look at them! Their weapons! Their armors! Even the fact that they look beaten up!" Celestia said.

Before he could say anything a beep was heard from his left pocket.

"Give me second...."

He then got up from his chair and picked up his Phone.

"Hey Nocturne wasap?"

The others froze when they heard what he just said.

From a cafeteria in the city. There was a man siting in a chair. And his eyes were blue, he had short black hair and he was wearing a black outfit wiht blue lines all over it and on the back of the outfit there was A Big Red Scar With A Dark Aura Radiating out of it.

"Yeah hi....listen here my friend. If i am correct my sisters are there right?" He asked.

"Your sisters? Oh yeah they are here!"

"Good...give me Celestia.....The one that is wearing the golden armor."

"Of course i aint stupid.....fucker."

He then said to Celestia.

"It's your bro."

He then threw at her the phone. Celestia caught it in mid and she slowly pulled it closer to her ear.

"Hello?"

"Greetings sister."
