Anon in Equestria - Chapter 23 - Revenge pt.3

>Equestria day 53

>The ending does not come across the way I originally wanted it to. Sorry bout that guys T-T

 

---------------------

 

>>Your heart raced in your chest

>>The tension in the air could be cut with a knife

>>Here you stand, the winner of the battle

>>You alone held Celestia's life in your hands

>>In a heartbeat you could kill her here

>>End everything she caused and would cause

>>The energy in your hand finally formed

>>Discord was standing over your shoulder, you could feel his breath

>>None of you were moving

>>Your fingers twitched

>>In your mind, this was what you wanted it to come to

>>To kill Celestia

>>For bringing you to this world she saved your life

>>Then she banished you a month after, content to let you live a life in that monocolored world

>>When you were gone, she lied about banishing you away

>>It made you furrious inside at what she put you through

>>Things she put you through two days after you became human

>>Memories you wish you could forget

>>The mental torture of it all

>>She tried to break you like Discord had

>>Only this was for her own research, not for gain like Discord

>>When you got back, all you could think of was revenge

>>And now that you stood here

>>You hesitated

>>When you first killed someone was back in your old world

>>The feel of it, taking that persons life

>>It made you sick to your stomach

>>You didn't want to imagine what would happen here though

>>Killing Celestia would end her chapter and begin yours

>>You could live in this world without her watching you

>>But what would others think

>>They would probably kill you because of this, no matter your reasons

>>You grit your teeth

>>You came back to get revenge on Celestia, so you could live here

>>Live in this beautiful world

>>But you couldn't go through with it

>>No, not that you couldn't go through

>>Something in the back of your mind was sreaming its way to you

>>"Do not forget thyself in there."

>>Do not forget yourself

>>Those were Luna's words before she left you

>>She knew you, on a level even you couldn't reach

>>Or didn't want to reach

>>What could she see in you, what did she mean

>>Not to lose yourself, you never lost sight of anything since coming here

>>It was all clear when you set foot on the caste grounds

>>You came here to win the right to live here with everyone

>>Everyone like...Dash

>>A memory lifted itself to your eyes

>>You stood in the chamber once more, on the cloudsdale platform

>>Dash was looking at you

>>Your mouth moved on its own, but no words came out

>>In your mind you could hear them

>>You spoke to that image the reason you came to this world

>>To be with Dash

>>That was why you were here, you came to Celestia to win that freedom

>>Not to...

>>Kill her

>>The energy you had in your hand fizzled away

>>Celestia looked at you, both with confusion and fear

>>Instead you offer your hand to her in a gesture of kindness

>>You came here to begin a life, not end one

>>Luna saw this, but you could not

>>She knew what you were going to do here, what was going through your mind

>>But you were not that kind of person

>>And she knew this

>>You had to thank her later for it

>>Celestia looked at you dumbstruck

>>A small smile crept up on you, slow and true

>>Any revenge that you wanted left in your body was gone

>>It became the farthest thing in your mind

>>All you wanted now was a life here, with Dash at your side

>>Celestia looked from your hand to you, and back, and back even more

>>She could not believe what was in her face

>>You had her on the ground, to be executed and now you were offering her your hand

>>She slowly moved her fore-hoof out

>>But something stuck you across the face, sending you to the ground

>>You fell with a loud thud, and withered in pain

>>Without much energy to stand back up too, it took all you had to drag yourself to Celestia

>>Discord stood over you in an anger

>>You realize that he had sent you across the ground

>>Meaning he could still hurt you, even in your mind

>>Fuck

>>"The hell, the hell IS this Anon?! Get back on your feet and KILL HER!"

>>You spit blood into the grass, turning it into that beautiful and disgusting crimson

"Sorry Discord, that never was my plan."

>>He seems to recoil at that statement, then just shakes his head

>>Lucky you two share the same body or he would just kill you

>>"I cant believe you did all that just to chicken out."

"I didn't chicken out, I came to my senses."

>>His foot sails into your ribs

>>You curl into a ball from the pain, the taste of blood fills your mouth once more

>>"Then you wont be needing anymore of my power then."

>>You can feel him suck back the power he gave you, like he was drawing blood from your veins, the feel was creepy

>>A wave of exhaustion overcomes you

>>The world seems to fade again, you swear you hear laughing

>>Must be Discord, laughing at your weakness

>>Everything goes black, you half wish it would just stay that way

>>But it wont

 

---------------------

 

>>Your senses are coming back to you

>>At first you just feel yourself on something soft and plush

>>A bed perhaps, your body is warm so you assume so

>>There were some voices in the backround, at first they were quiet

>>But as you became more awake you heard them much more distinctly

>>Luna and Celestia were talking to your right

>>Fuck it, you need to know where you are

>>You slowly open your eyes

>>Light floods your vision, dim light though

>>Behind it is a white wall, makes it even worse

>>A small groan escapes your lips

>>Next to you, you hear a hush and then silence

>>You go to sit up, the process sends pain up your body

>>It makes you wince but you manage to sit up, though in pain no less

>>"Anon, you are awake already?"

>>You turn to see a surprised Luna and Celestia

>>Yes in that order, you consider Luna the better of the two now

>>Or atleast for now

"Y-yeah, should I be?"

>>You look at them with confusion, they stare at you with shock

>>Now that you got a good look at yourself, and them, a thought occured

>>Why were you all bandaged up and in bed, but Celestia was out and about like nothing happened

>>Did she really shake that off like Dash shook of hangovers

>>"Anon, it has only been 2 hours since I found thee and Celestia in the courtyard."

>>Two hours, you were out for two hours

>>That was hard to believe, even under your standards

>>You put a hand behind you to keep yourself proped up

>>It hurt to sit, it hurt a lot

"So I guess everyone knows what happened here then?"

>>The two sisters look at each other for a moment

>>Celestia gives Luna a nod and she turns to you

>>"No Anon, I am the only other that knows."

>>Thats a relief, a huge one

>>"But would'st thou tell us what happened from thy view?"

>>You gulp, they both knew what happened

>>But they wanted to know from your view, why you did it

>>You really didn't want to tell them, but

>>Things could go south fast if you refused

"Alright, here's the truth then..."

>>You figure you should start from the beginning, after you defeated Discord

>>What you felt when Celestia saved you from death that time, first joy, then hate

>>When you woke in your world and how you kept your memory of Dash

>>The discovery that this world ran parallel to your old world

>>Of the race to get to the portal before you were caught

"Soon that portal will be gone though, they've been fighting over it for years now."

>>And since you went through, well, they were going to make sure it was gone

>>Forever

>>Then you move onto the champer you fell into

>>How it about tested you for coming there

>>You left out the part with Dash though, keep it a secret from even them

>>Until you could tell her yourself

>>"The chamber of truth..."

>>You look at Celestia in surprise

>>She has yet to say anything

"What's the chamber of truth?"

>>"It came from an old mares tale, about connecting two worlds. But only those true to their hearts could get through. We thought the last one had vanished years ago."

>>You think on that for a moment

>>That place seemed to always ask why you came, guess it only let those worthy come through

>>"Please contiue Anon."

>>You nod and begin your story again

>>Of waking up in Zecora's hut after passing out, and finding your way back to P0nyville

>>Seeing Twilight, Pinkie and Fluttershy again

>>Through Twilight you had learned what happened after you had left

>>Well, you only learned what Celestia had said about you and how long it had been

"Which reminds me, how could a week go by in this world but not in,"

>>You dont want to say 'my' world

"The other world?"

>>Celestia sighs

>>"Because Anon, you had to be sent back to the moment you left. The spell it took to send you back to that moment took one week to finish."

"So time really flows the same here then?"

>>"Quite the opposite Anon. Time here flows slower than your worlds. If what you said is true, only a few seconds happened here after you awoke and found the portal back."

>>Now you were dumbstruck

>>The differences in time between the two worlds was confusing

>>But never the less, you continued the story

>>The train ride to Canterlot, and learning about Discord being in your mind

>>What was in your mind when you confronted Celestia

>>Then the battle and how you took on Discords power

"Honestly, without it I would be dead out there. But with it, I'm afraid to use it."

>>The two alicorns nod a bit

>>You finish the recap with Celestia's dimension and then breaking out of it

>>Finally to standing as the victor

"Really, I just came to my senses then. When I first came to this world from mine, it was to live here."

>>With Dash

"Not to kill anyone. Really at first I wanted answers, and from there, it just got worse. Until we were at each others throats."

>>You softly chuckle at the thought

>>The more you wished for something, the more it took your mind

>>Until you did something for it you cant take back

>>It was nature to wish for something so much that it controled you

>>But you were able to stop yourself from that, before you went down that road

"But I dont understand how Discord could have hit me like that. His pressance in my mind was all I could feel, but now, he can physically hurt me."

>>The two sisters share an uneasy glance

>>They knew why

>>"Well Anon-"

>>"When Discord gives you power, you have to give something in return. Even though he said you could get it for free, he still had to get something. In this case, he got the ability to cause you physical harm."

>>You stare at the two of them wide-eyed

>>If Discord was around, you would beat the hell out of him

>>He was going to abuse that power so much

"Is there any way to reverse it?"

>>"If Discord took back his power than he can no longer harm you."

>>A relief for once

>>You couldn't shake the feeling that wasn't how it really ended

>>But for now, he was out of your hair

>>"Anon..."

>>You turn to look at Celestia

>>But she seemed different from before, actually, a lot different

>>She had this sincere look in her eyes, now that you mention it, she called you by name

>>That would be...a first

>>"I just want to say...I'm sorry."

>>Wat

>>No like really, what

>>This must be a dream, there was no way

>>"I mistook your species as something less of ours. That you were all a bunch of primal beasts that knew no kindness or compassion. I was wrong, and you've proved that to me."

>>Not that you should take credit for that

>>The world you came from, the one filled with other humans

>>She summed up everything about them right there

>>You were just different from those other humans, enough for her to take notice

"Celestia, you dont have to-"

>>She shook her head

>>"No, I must. I took you for a being less than myself. Less than any creature in my kingdom, and I was wrong. Anon, truly I am sorry. And would be honored if you would stay in our kingdom for as long as you'd like."

>>Now you knew you were dreaming

>>Where's the wire in the room, where's the camera

>>This was not real, just could not be

>>You dreamed it all, yeah thats it, your back in your world

>>And when you blink it will all just go back to being-

>>

>>Well, guess this was real

>>And that meant you must have really hit Celestia hard in the head

"I..I just..."

>>Come on man, dont blow this

>>This was your world now -- your home, dont fuck it up

"It would be an honor to live in your kingdom Celestia."

>>A sense of gentle happiness is all you can tell

>>She was truly sorry this time, that or she had a good poker face

>>One or the other, you got your wish

>>Your life in Equestria was finalized and you were living here forever

>>"You will always be welcome in our court, Anon. Luna, if you would tend to Anons wounds please. I must attend to repairing the courtyard for now."

>>And with that Celestia left you and Luna alone in the room

>>She turned to you and her horn began to glow

>>Your skin itched like crazy as her magic invaded your body

>>It tingled and pulsed at every cell, repairing the damage that had occured

"Luna..."

>>She looked up at you, her magic never faultering

"I just....Thank you. For everything."

>>A small smile crept onto her face

>>"What does't thou mean, Anon?"

"You know, what you said back there. You really saved me from..."

>>You couldn't finish it, you didn't want to think about it anymore

>>But Luna just looked at you confused

>>"Anon, I never saved thou from anything."

"Yes you did! Before I faced Celestia you told me not to forget myself."

>>She mearly shook her head

>>"I am sorry, but those words were not thine."

>>Key word, were not

>>You stare at Luna, but she keeps her kind smile as she heals your wounds

>>It gives you time to mull around at what she said

>>That she didn't help you, but she had

>>She knew she had, but was she trying to tell you more

>>That maybe, even without her help

>>You would have saved yourself from that evil

>>The itching stops, her horn quits its glow

>>"How is that Anon?"

>>You snap out of your thoughts long enough to hear here words

>>With hesitation you stretch your arms around

>>No pain

>>You toss the covers off and jump out of the bed to your feet

>>No pain

>>With a smile you spin around and beam at Luna

"Thank you Luna."

>>Thats all you can say now

>>You say it over and over in your mind, thank you

>>But really it wasn't just her, it was everyone

>>Everyone kept you sane, they were all in need of some thanks when you got back

>>"'Twas not a problem, Anon. But thou would best get home before the first snow."

"First snow?"

>>"Yes, winter is upon us now. As the first snow is always the worst in Equestria, thou should leave at once."

>>At a heartbeat you remember the snow from your house

>>How it was piled up to cover the whole thing, make a giant icecube more or less

>>Bet you guys dont even remember THAT from the story

>>You take the shoes from under the bed and slip them on

>>Then you double take at the clothes you were wearing

>>All new

>>You give Luna a questioned look, but she waves you off with a hoof

>>A smile on your face you leave the room, and the castlegrounds all together

>>Catching the train back to P0nyville

>>With a sigh of relief you reflect on everything thats happened so far

>>You hold your hand in front of your face

>>The energy you held once before

>>How that power felt when you had it, it was...

>>Madness

>>Now it was gone, not that you could care

>>Nothing would ever make you hold that again

>>The things Discord could have given you, would have driven you over the edge

>>And made you become another Discord in turn

>>Discord Two....yeah right

>>Something moved to your right

>>On instinct you tumble from your chair and raise your arm up

>>Energy swirls around your open palm and forms a ball

>>With a yelp you shake your hand and fall back

>>You stare wide-eyed at your hand once more

>>A slight chuckle could be heard off in the distance

"Discord...you..."

>>Nothing would ever be the same again

>>This was never going to end for you

>>Never
