[FR] Metal - Part 9, The Finale

>Shit!
>The princess was here!
>Wait she said hello your highness, that could mean it might be Luna.....
>"Hello rarity, how is your stay in Canterlot going?"
>Nope, its Celestia
>You look around the bathroom, maybe there is a window, or an oversized vent or....
>Nope, nothing
>Not that a window would do you any good on the seventh floor anyway
>You decide to just settle in and listen to the conversation
..............
>You are now Rarity
>And you are sweating bullets
>Normally, you were pretty good at lying, but not today
>This was Princess celestia for fashion's sake!
>"My stay in Canterlot, great why do you ask?"
>Easy Rarity. Yu aren't guilty of anything. You are the element of generosity
>If worse comes to worse, your generosity inside just couldn't handle leaving poor Anon out on the street

>"Good, may I come in for a second? There is some troubling news I would like to make you aware of, being an element and all"
>"Come in? Sure, please make your self at home"
>The Princess walks in, and takes a look about the room
>Could she smell Anon
>Could she use weird, powerful magic to see through walls and spot him?
No, settle down rarity, she just came to warn you and then leave. This isn't an investigation.
>"Rarity, I fear we have a fugitive on the loose here in canterlot. The reason you should know, is because its Mr. Anonymous"
>You gasp in horror
>"Anonymous? Whatever has he done Princess?"
>"Well, I can't get into to much detail, but I'll tell you this. He is a danger to all of Equestria. If you see him, and feel you can safely, try to restrain him, or at the very least, alert somep0ny who can."
>"Will do your highness"

>"You haven't seen him or had any interraction with him, have you?"
>Gulp
>"No, of course not"
>She levels her eyes to yours
>"Not interaction at all?"
>"N-No"
>She raises her eyebrow, and stares at you
>Finally she lifts her head, and turns towards the door
>"Well, thank you for your time Rarity"
>Whew
>"Oh and one last thing"
>She glances back at you
>"Why was there a sleeping bag on your floor?"
>Your heart nearly beats out of your chest, and you panic
>You slowly peek over to the corner of the room where Anon had slept last night
>Sure enough, his sleeping bag lays there, unzipped
>"I-I-I....

>Youa re now Anon
>Well, the cat was out of the bag
>You heard Celestia ask through the door
>"Where is he Rarity?"
>She sounded pissed
>"I-I don't know what you're talking abo-"
>"WHERE IS HE?"
>Now she sounded like Luna
>Suddenly, you heard a flapping of wings, and four hooves landing on the patio outside the suite
>"SISTER, WE HAVE SPOTTED THE MONKEY IN THE EASTERN DISTRICT!"
>Luna?
>Shes still trying to help you, even when she doesn't need to
>Promoted to bro status
>"Save it, traitor, I know Rarity knows where he is, and thats its nearby. I wouldn't be surprised if he were still in the tower in fact."
>"BUT SISTER-"
>"SHUT IT! Enough games, where is Anonymous?"
>You here the familiar whirring noise of magic starting up
>You can't let Rarity take the fall for you
>You open the bathroom door
Surprise!

>Celestia whips her head your way, and you see her horn glow
>Suddenly, your stomach pitches downwards as you fly upwards
>"Anonymous, you are a threat to Equestria, and must be destroyed. You've gained your self another day of living with your little games, no doubt strengthening the bond between here and Earth. It is far past time for you to die"
>Her horn begins to glow green, black and red, seemingly at the same time, and her eyes turn the same colors
Wait! I need to tell you-
>Your mouth shuts forcefully from the magic
>"LET HIM SPEEK SISTER, IS NOT EVEN THE WORST VILLIAN ALLOWED LAST WORDS?"
>"Luna, time is of the essence, and your words mean nothing to me anymore!"
>Luna looks down, saddened, but then up again, determined
>She charges Celestia and shoves her with a forceful push
>Her magic falters, and you fall to the floor with an audible thump
>"LUNA!"
>i'M SORRY SISTER, BUT DEATH IS NOT THE ANSWER!"
>"You're right, instead of one monkey dying, lets all just die! Sounds like fun!"
>"I'M MERELY SAYING THAT-"
>There fighting is interrupted by you whistling your fingers

>They stop and look at you
Let me say one thing here, and then I'll die willingly. Let me tell you this, and I will go out without a fight. Celestia, you brought me here, without my consent, for the sole purpose of being raped. If thats not bad enough, I will never see my family again, never see my friends again, or anybody on Earth. You have single-handedly ruined, and are about to, ended my life. But, it doesn't have to end like this.
>"What do you-"
>You hold up a hand to silence her
Last night, I had a dream. I say to you today, my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.
>No, You're not MLK Jr.
>What you really said next was
Last night, I didn't have a dream. I wasn't back in my body on Earth. I didn't dream, and I'd wager if I fell asleep right now, I wouldn't dream again either. You presented me two options of what would happen should I live princess.

Well look around you. The world hasn't been destroyed. We haven't reset this whole incident, have we?
Is it possible, that I'm just my own person here? That I'm not back on earth anymore, that my soul either stopped trying to go back to Earth, or soemthing stopped it from trying? Not saying I wouldn't love to go back, but as of now, it looks like you're stuck with me.
Thats it. I'm done. Please, if you still feel you must, make it quick. Tell Fluttershy thanks for nothing. Rarity and Luna, thanks for trying to help.
>You look up at Celestia, and she looks dumbfounded
Well?
>"It can't be...."
What can't be?
>"Anonymous, come with me, I'd like to see something"
>Well, what the hell, why not?
>Her horn glows, accompanied a moment later with a flash of white light
>Your eyes adjust from the flash, and you find yourself in a familiar room

>Your living room back on Earth
>Celestia stands next to you
>You also sit on the couch, and next to you is your neice, Ally
Princess, what I looking at? How am I over there, and here at the same time?
>"Well, it would seem you've got luck, Anonymous Beta"
>Theres that name again
>"It seems your soul did make it back to Earth"
What do you mean? I'm still here
>"No, you're over there. The real you. If I'm right, your sould made it back to your body last night when you 'weren't dreaming'".
>"And the reason you didn't dream is because the only thing connecting you to here was your soul. Anonymous Beta, remember, I made your body as a copy of Anonymous Alpha's body. It appears as if the universe corrected the paradox made when I did that by making a copy of its own"
>"A copy of your soul"
>You take a moment to comprehend this
So...., does that mean I can be my own person now?
>"I beleive it does. Anonymous Alpha will live out his life here on Earth, and you will live yours in Equestria"

>"He'll remember his time up until last night, when, for lack of better words, you were born"
>You realize that you and a huge talking unicorn have been talking at the side of the room for a while now, and Alpha you and Ally haven't even batted an eye
They can't see us, can they?
>"No, it would take to much magic to transport us here fully, so we are here as say...ghosts"
Wait, but you came here before. Why couldn't just magic me back here in the first place? Before all this 'You must die' shit happened?
>"Anonymous, you're made of Equestrian magic, and in essence, from Equestria. Sending you back here would cause the same paradox as it did bringing you here".
Oh, I see. Then we'd have three Anons by the end of this, right?
>She laughs
>"It would appear so, and one of you caused enough trouble"
>"Are you ready to go?"
Not quite yet, lemme say goodbye
>You go over to Ally, and wrap your arms around her in a hug
>Your hand accidently passes through her shoulder, and you feel a white hot searing pain
>You quickly retract it and settle for saying
Goodby Ally, make me proud
>A flash envelops the room
