A New Life

Chapter 21- Tyler Walker, The Hero of Equestria

Tyler's POV

"Where am I, am I dead, oh yeah, I defeated Discord and saved Equestria, whew, who knew Discord would take so much out of me, oh well, all that matters is that Equestria is safe and Discord is gone forever, but man does my body hurt" I said in my head.

A small light appeared out of the darkness.

"Well done, not only have you freed the universe from Discord, but you used all of what was left of your power to put Ponyville back in order" said a voice.

"Thanks, who are you" I asked.

"My name is over no importance, I am here to bring you back to Equestria" the voice said.

"Back?" I asked.

"Yes, when you used all of your power up, you blacked out, I'm just gonna put your soul back in your body" the voice said.

"Oh, okay" I replied

The light then shined brighter, causing me to shut my eyes, once I opened them, I was in a hospital bed, it in the middle of the night, and I saw Applejack asleep to my left.

"Well this looks familiar, this time is wasn't a Manticore" I thought.

I looked around and saw that my body was covered with bandages, figures, it wouldn't surprise me if I had to injuries, especially after a battle like that, it was living in an InFamous game, I can see it now, "InFamous 3, Tyler's Beginning"

I chuckled at myself, and then fell back in my bed.

"Wow, just seems like yesterday I just arrived here in Equestria, now I just saved I, funny how life works" I thought.

This was the first time these thoughts had crossed my mind, I guess it was the fact that I could have almost died.

I closed my eyes and remembered how powerful I was, the entire fight with Discord, all the training I did with Akahito, transforming into Lightning Striker, being in a relationship with Applejack, getting to fight Rainbow Dash, baking with Pinkie Pie, saving Ponyville from a Ursa Minor, meeting Twilight, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and all of my new friends, even my very last day on Earth.

(.com/watch?v=T67Lyn9zXSo)

I then saw the window open; the cool night breeze blew against my skin.

"Maybe, just one run" I thought.

At that I threw the blanket off me and jumped out the window, I landed on my feet, the grass bristled against my feet, and I then ran off into the night.

"Man, now that there's nothing to be stressed about, I feel so much better, I haven't felt this good since I got here" I thought.

As I ran through Ponyville, it felt like all my injuries meant nothing, so I took off the bandages and threw them behind me.

"Woohoo!" I screamed

I think I might have woken up some ponies, mostly because after that, lights from the houses flashed on.

"Whoops" I thought.

At that I teleported.

Applejack's POV

I woke up by a weird sound.

"The hay was that" I thought.

I then turned to see Tyler, but Tyler disappeared, I quickly turned to the window and saw that it was open.

I then chuckled.

"He can't stay still even for a minute" I said to myself.

Tyler's POV

I sat down by the tree where I met Flare Chaser and Mist Dancer, my back against the hard bark of the tree, but for some reason I felt sleep taking over, and I passed out.

My eyes then shot open, I remembered one big thing, Applejack was in the room, I then teleported back to the room, but when I looked to where Applejack was, she was asleep.

"Whew" I sighed.

"It's not that easy" I heard her say.

I jumped at the sound, her eyes then opened, but she didn't have an angry expression, she was smiling.

"Uh, sorry about that, it just that-"

"Ya can't stay in one place for too long, I understand, but ya really should have woken me up at least" she said.

"If I did, you probably would scream, knowing that I finally woke up" I replied.

"True, so how ya feelin?" she asked.

"A little battered up, but I can move around with no problem" I answered.

"That's good" she said.

Everything was quiet for a few seconds.

"Ya had me scared" she said.

"Huh" I asked.

"At some points, I didn't know if ya was gonna get up, but did ya prove me wrong when ya said that ya was the seventh element" she said.

"Well, I'm known for proving people, or ponies, wrong" I replied.

"Just next time yer gonna go and do somethin stupid" she said.

I chuckled.

"I promise" I said.

"Good, now come here and kiss me already" she said.

I knelt down and her lips touched mine.

The kiss lasted for 16 seconds I think, but it was the best 16 seconds of my life, the second her lips touched mine, it felt like the whole world disappeared, it was just me and Applejack.

Once we broke, she asked,

"How was that?"

"Your lips taste like apples" I said.

I then moved close to her ear.

"I like apples" I whispered.

She then tackled me, we fell on the bed, and she then pulled me in for another kiss, though this one lasted way longer.

Once our lips broke apart, we both yawned.

"I guess we're both tired, wanna sleep?" I asked.

"Ya got it partner" she said before drifting off.

I chuckled, and then fell asleep.

Tyler's Dream

I stood alone in light, there was nothing but white everywhere.

"Hello, is anybody here?" I called out.

"Just your teacher" I heard a voice.

My eyes shot open, I slowly turned and saw Akahito.

"Akahito!" I said running to him.

We then hugged.

"You have no idea how happy I am to see you" I said.

"Same here, but I need to tell you something" he said.

"Go ahead shoot" I said.

"Do you remember the last chakra you unlocked?" he said.

"Yeah, thought, why?" I asked.

"Do you remember how you unlocked it?" he said.

"Yeah, how could I, I had to leave Earth, forever" I said in a sad tone.

"Yes, but there was something about what you did that you still haven't learned" he said.

"I haven't?" I said confused.

"Yes, allow me to show you" he said.

He placed his fingers on my head, and I closed my eyes; images poured in my head, some good, but some horrible, one second I see Ponyville, next I see Ponyville in ruins, but in the center was a monster, something more evil than Discord, whatever it was, it's eyes were full of darkness, no remorse, just hate, I then knew what I had to do.

"I see" I said.

"Then you know what you have to do" he said.

"Yeah, I have to leave, but it's not going to be easy, I don't think that the others are going to like it" I explained.

"You're gonna have to" he said.

"I know, but how am I going to be ready when it comes" I said.

"It won't be here for a long time, but I would get started as soon as you can, I know someone who can train you, his name is Xara" he said.

"Xara?" I said.

"She specializes in not only physical training, but spiritual, she was once my student, but after I graduated her, she continued to get stronger, as of right now, her power surpasses mine" Akahito explained.

"Wow, and she's human too?" I asked.

"Yes" he said.

"Wow, another human in Equestria" I said.

"No, she's on Earth" he said.

"What? Then how am I going to meet her?" I asked.

"Your body can't leave Equestria, but that doesn't mean I can't send your soul" he said.

"My soul?" I said confused.

"See, while your soul is training with Xara on Earth, your body will be here sleeping" he explained.

"But, what happens when my parents see me" I asked.

"Don't worry, once you arrive on Earth, you'll be given a hooded cloak, as long as you wear it, no one will be able to see your face" he explained.

"Oh, I see" I said.

"Now when you're ready to return to Earth, use your powers to activate this" he said giving me was crystal.

"Now it's time to head back, it's morning" he said.

"Morning? We've only talked for a few seconds" I said.

"Time flies, good luck" he said.

"Thank you, and enjoy the afterlife" I said.

At that everything turned white, and my eyes opened.

The sun was shining through the window, Applejack still laid at my side; I looked at her, regretting what I would soon have to tell her, but I then looked at my right hand, and in it was the crystal.

"Darn it, why couldn't have just been a dream" I cursed in my head.

"Hey, Applejack, c'mon it's time to wake up" I said shaking her.

"5 more minutes" she said.

"Y'know, how about you stay here, and I'm gonna go check out" I said.

She immediately stood up.

"Oh no ya don't, yer not getting away from me this time" she said.

"Maybe not now, but later" I thought.

"Then you wanna help me check out" I said.

"Okay, let's go" she said.

I changed into some clothes that Rarity left for me, and boy did she change the color to match my element, there was a T-Shirt that had a white body, but the sleeves were blue, some blue turbine pants, but on the left leg was the sun mark, we then headed to the counter.

"Well look who it is, if it isn't the hero of Equestria" the pony at the counter said.

"Is that what ponies are calling me?" I asked.

"Yeah, after what ya did, it sure does fit ya" Applejack said.

"I guess" I said.

"So I guess you're here to check out huh" the pony said.

"Yep" I replied.

"Well first we're gonna have to ask you something first, how are you feeling, like are you experiencing any pain" the pony said.

"Only internal" I thought.

"Nope, and to prove it" I said.

I then jumped back and landed on my hands, then shot myself back up to my feet.

The pony chuckled.

"Well I guess you're good to go, oh and somepony left this for you" the pony said.

The pony gave me a piece of paper.

Tyler

If you are reading this, then you're awake, please come by the library, we have something for you

Twilight

"Okay, thanks" I said.

"No problem" the pony replied.

"Come on Applejack, they want us to head by Twilight's" I said.

"Got it" she said.

We then headed for Twilight's house.

When I opened the door, the lights were off.

"I think I know what's coming" I thought.

Even though I knew what was going to happen, I turned the lights on and found myself surrounded by ponies.

"SURPRISE, THANK YOU TYLER, HERO OF EQUESTRIA!" they all said.

"Oh man, this isn't good, not only do I have to say goodbye to the others, now I got to say it in front all of Ponyville!" I screamed in my head.

"Thanks guys, but you really don't have to call me that" I said.

"Why wouldn't we, you saved everypony, why are you being so modest" Rainbow Dash said.

"Yeah, we should be partying" Pinkie Pie said.

"After the party, I'll tell them" I thought.

"Uh, alright then, let's party!" I said.

Everypony cheered, and then I heard Rainbow Dash grab a mic.

"Okay, now me and Vinyl Scratch worked on this song, so I want all of you to jam to this!" she said

(.com/watch?v=NWd5x09gWoE)

"Oh wow, RD you would" I said in my head.

After my tribute party, which would be really called "Goodbye Party", I went up to Twilight.

"Hey, can I tell you something?" I asked her.

"Sure, oh hold on" she said running off to Vinyl.

"Oh no!" I said.

After Twilight said something, the music stopped and Twilight grabbed a mic.

"Okay everypony, Tyler has something to say" Twilight said.

Just then a spotlight shined on me.

"So much for private" I said in my said.

I had no choice; I walked up and took the mic.

"Uh, okay before I say this, I want you to know that what I'm about to say is not my decision" I said.

I heard a few ponies talking among each other.

"You see, it seems that Discord was just the beginning, cause as of right now, I've learned that there is something else out there, even more powerful than Discord" I said.

The crowd started to stir.

"But, just like Discord, I will beat it" I said.

A small cheer came.

"But there is one thing…" I said.

Everypony leaned forward, hanging on to the last word.

"C'mon Tyler, spit it out!" Rainbow Dash screamed.

Tears were flowing.

"It means….."

"TELL US!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed,

Anger appeared.

"IT MEANS I HAVE TO LEAVE EQUESTRIA!" I finally said.

(.com/watch?v=zn9IAjsZ0gI&feature=related)

Everypony grew silent, shocked at what just came out of my mouth, then crying could be heard.

"What…what are you talking about?" Rainbow Dash said.

"Look, right now I'm not strong enough to beat it, and my teacher said he knew someone who could help me extend my powers, but I have to return to Earth" I explained.

"But….but you just woke up, and now you have to leave" Twilight said.

"Like I said, it's not my choice" I said.

Ponies started to slowly walk away from the building, even Rainbow Dash walked away, but what got me, was when Applejack walked away, she didn't even turn around.

"Oh no" I said.

Twilight and Spike walked up the stairs, leaving me alone; I didn't know what to do, so I walked out.

As I walked through Ponyville, glances were thrown at me, some sad, some mad, some full of sympathy, the ones with sympathy were the ones who understood, but it was rare.

"Why did this have to happen" I said in my head.

I walked over to a cliff, staring at the horizon; it was still morning, so the sun was still rising.

"I don't even know, if I do finish the training, would anypony be happy to see me, would everypony just tell me to leave" I thought.

I then fell back, my back crashing onto the hard ground, a whirlpool of emotions stirred in me, rage, sadness, confusion; I didn't know which one fit more.

I then took the crystal, staring at it, if I left now, I could put everything aside, go back home, take the cloak off and live the rest of my life on Earth, or I could wait and say my goodbyes, but who would listen, everypony hates me right now.

I then looked up, the images raced through my mind again.

"I just don't know, nopony wants to see my face right now, Twilight's probably throwing my things out the window, Pinkie Pie's regretting throwing that party, Rainbow Dash is trying to forget I even existed, Fluttershy's just crying, Rarity's probably throwing out the designs of my clothes, and Applejack…..She's probably just wishing I would just leave, I'm all alone" I said to myself.

"No, no yer not" a familiar voice said.

I turned to see Applejack with a blank expression on her face.

"Oh, let me guess, "go away", or "why are you still here", oh I know, "ya better get out of here before I knock yer teeth down yer throat", well don't worry, I was just about to leave" I said.

I was about to activate the crystal, but Applejack placed her hoof on my hands.

"No, I don't want ya to leave, nopony does, everyponies just…shocked ya have ta leave, that's all" she said.

I laughed.

"Yeah, that's it, look I know, I saw the faces, the faces full of rage, nopony wants me here, I got it, wait, maybe they want me to leave in front of them" I said.

"WHY DO YA HAVE TA BE SO STUBBORN!" she snapped.

"WHY DO YOU HAVE TO BE SO ARROGANT!" I snapped back.

"NOPONY WANTS YA TA LEAVE, JUST ASK THEM!" she replied.

"I DON'T HAVE TO, I GOT THE HINT!" I screamed

"PLEASE JUST TRUST ME!" she screamed back

"GIVE ME ONE GOOD REASON WHY I SHOULD!" I demanded

"BECAUSE IF YA LOVE ME, YOU'LL COME WITH ME!" she finished.

Things were silent, she got me, I waited for thing to slow down before talking.

"Fine, but you're just wasting your time, I know they want me gone" I said.

"Thank ya" she said.

She led me back into Ponyville, and what got me surprised was everypony standing in front of me, but this time, they had smiles, tears were still flowing from their eyes.

"What's going on?" I asked.

"You, yer what's goin on" she said.

"Me?" I said in my head.

Twilight then step forward.

"Look, we're sorry if we sent the wrong message, it's just you've done so much for us, and we've become such good friends, so for you to just leave us like this, I guess we let our emotions get the best of us" Twilight explained.

"That was it? Emotion?" I thought.

I then sighed.

"Y'know, I can't blame you for that, because I would probably do the same thing, heck, I've been through something like this before" I admitted.

"You have?" Twilight asked.

"Yeah, see when I was a small kid, I was a loner, didn't have anyone, being bullied, of course I wasn't this happy go lucky guy you see now, but once day, there was a new kid in school, his name was Derek, and during recess, he saw me sitting alone by myself, and he did the one thing nobody in the whole school would do, he went to got talk to me, I can still hear the other kids saying, "Is that the new kid, talking to that loser"

I then chuckled, and then continued.

"We hung out all the time, during lunch, recess, class, heck we hung out after school, we were like brothers, and as days went on, other people decided to follow in Derek's footsteps, and come hang out with me, it was because of him that I escaped from my loneliness, but one day…."

I stopped, tears started to form.

"One day, I came to school, but Derek didn't come, and I thought that he was sick today or something, but during class, the phone rang, and the teacher answered it, and…and they said that Derek's house burnt down" I finally said.

(.com/watch?v=peBHQcq3urM)

I wiped the tears off my face, but they kept coming.

"They said, that everyone was in the house, there was no survivors, Derek was dead, my first friend was dead, sure I still had the others but they wasn't the same as Derek, and I was little so at that time I've never lost anybody that I cared about, every day I would visit him and his family's grave, I still miss him, but I know he's in a better place now, and he's the reason I'm like this, he's the reason I fight for my friends, I promised I'd do the same for others what he did for me" I finished.

Everypony was wiping tears from their faces.

"Tyler…..we had no idea" Twilight said.

"So now you see why I have to do this, why I need this training" I said.

"Yeah, we understand" Twilight said.

"Hold on, I'll agree on one condition" Rainbow Dash said.

"What's that?" I asked.

"Once you're done with this special training, you better get your sorry butt back here" she said.

I smiled.

"You got it" I replied.

"Then I guess this is it" Applejack said.

"Yeah, oh I forgot to mention something, apparently only my soul will go back to Earth, but my body will stay here, just asleep" I said.

Everypony just stared at me.

"What?" I asked.

"WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY THAT BEFORE!" Rainbow Dash screamed.

I scratched the back of my head.

"I guess it slipped my mind, sorry" I said.

"I'm pretty sure the princess wouldn't mind if we use the sleeping pod" Twilight said.

"Sleeping pod?" I asked.

"Yeah, it's this little pod where ponies can sleep in peace, not like dead, we wouldn't want that, would we" Pinkie pie said.

"Uh, Pinkie, how do you know about the sleeping pod" Twilight asked.

"Oh everypony knows that" Pinkie said.

"They do?" Twilight asked.

"YES" Everypony said at once.

"That was weird" I said.

"Oh yeah" Applejack agreed.

"Well, let's get to Princess Celestia" I said.

Twilight was about to teleport everypony to Canterlot, but I stopped her.

"I wanna do it" I said with a smile.

Twilight smiled back with a tear in her eye.

"Go ahead" she said.

I concentrated on the castle, and with a flash, we were there.

We slowly walked to the throne room, I looked around, memorizing the room, knowing I wasn't gonna see it for a while.

"Princess Celestia, we would like to ask you something?" Twilight said.

"I know, and I'm okay with you using the pod" she said.

"Uh, how did you-"

I then remembered who she was.

"Oh, I forgot" I said.

She chuckled.

"It's the least I could do for the hero of Equestria" she said.

"I forgot how fast word gets out around here" I thought.

She then led all of us through a series of hallways, until we reached a wall with a strange insignia on it.

"Uh, this is just a wall" I said.

"Yes, but watch this" Princess Celestia said.

She placed her horn on the wall, then all of a sudden a light blue light appeared and took the form of a door, the shape then glow white, and there was a door.

"Note to self, always wait, then ask" I said out loud.

Everypony then laughed, but they all soon went quiet, knowing what was about to happen next.

We all walked through the door, the room was just plain white, and in the middle was a giant open pod.

"So I just walk in" I said.

"Yes" Princess Celestia replied.

"Well, I guess this is goodbye" I said.

Everypony was wiping tears away.

"Hey, lighten up" I said.

"How, yer leaving" Applejack said.

"Just remember this, this isn't goodbye forever, this is only goodbye for now" I said.

Just like that everypony smiled.

"Just hurry up and get back here" Rainbow Dash said.

We then walked toward each other for one last group hug, once we broke they all lined up.

"I'll tell Spike you said goodbye, and take of yourself out there" Twilight said.

"I will, thanks" I replied.

"Once you wake up, I'll throw the biggest "Welcome Home" party ever" Pinkie Pie said.

"Looking forward to it" I replied.

"Just be ready, cause once you're up, I want to have that rematch" Rainbow Dash said.

"You're so on" I said

"I'll have a nice new outfit for you, knowing that you might outgrow your old clothes while you're sleeping" Rarity said.

"Yeah, that might be embarrassing" I said.

"I'll be so happy once you come back, I don't think I'll be able to stop screaming" Fluttershy said.

"Well I'll be sure to plug my ears, I don't want a busted eardrum as soon as I get back" I said.

I made my way to the most anticipated, Applejack.

"I hope ya know I'm gonna miss ya" she said.

"I will too" I said.

She then pulled out her rope.

"Get over here" she said.

She then lassoed my legs, pulled me down, and dragged me to her face, then kissed me, and I swear I heard everypony in the room go "Aw".

She then moved to my ear and whispered,

"Don't go get yourself killed"

I looked to her.

"Wouldn't dream of it" I said.

She released me and I got up, pull the crystal out of my pocket, and then looked at my friends for the last time.

"Don't worry, I'll be back, see ya later" I said.

Everypony waved, the door opened, and I walked inside, for what felt like an hour, the door shut.

"Thank you, everyone, I promised I'll come back" I thought my final thought.

I then put all my power in the crystal, my body started to hurt, electricity surrounded me, and at that, everything went black.

Normal POV

Tyler's motionless body was lifted off the ground; he was floating, finally asleep.

Everypony was still staring at the pod.

"C'mon girls, let's go home" Twilight said.

"Nah, I think I'm gonna stay here fer a little bit" she said.

Everypony agrees and walked away, once Applejack was alone, she closed her eyes.

"Come back soon" she said before leaving.

"I will" a voice said.
