//-------------------------------------------------------// Mad Pony: The Chaser’s Tale -by Ginkyofu13- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Prologue //-------------------------------------------------------// Prologue Prologue The story begins with Jack Cayman was riding down the road on his motorcycle, as he recaps what he had accomplished: he snuck on Jefferson Island, which was taken over by The organization and set up a Death Tournament called Deathwatch. As a Chaser, Jack Cayman was tasked to hunt down the man running the organization, which turned out to be Leo Fallmount, and put a stop to the tournament. He participated in the tournament, killed every opponent in his way, climbed all the way to the top and became the 4 time champion of Deathwatch. After killing Leo and the men running the organization, he felt he had finally put an end to it all and could finally move on with his life, but little did he know, this was just the beginning... It doesn't mean that he was going to find peace within the world since they are scarred memories within his mind. There are issues within his life that he cannot forget that left him nothing, but a broken man. He lost his daughter and he lost his images, but has nightmares of his voice calling out for help. He cannot run away from the past as he wakes up in the night with nightmares, but he doesn't know what comfort meant anymore. He isn't safe since he was forced to sleep with one eye open because of break-in and there was a warrant for his arrest in the United States. They wanted him dead or alive for a lot of money after what happened and some wanted to take over. He doesn't know who to trust anymore when he tries to stay hidden. He lost contact with Amala, because he destroyed the communicator that allowed him to contact with her, so now he can't call her for back-up or give her any useful information. He has grim imaging of the little girl that he failed to save and his own daughter in his mind. As his memories continued to haunt him throughout this day, but he thought comforted from women would help forget except it didn't. He has nightmares of his life shattered, but he wasn't quite proud of the images within his mind. He wasn't quite happy as his mind is going insane. He was going to die in the world except he didn't allow fear gets the better of him. He has grim imaging of the little girl that he failed to save and his own daughter in his mind. As his memories continued to haunt him throughout this day, but he thought comforted from women would help forget except it didn't. He has nightmares of his life shattered, but he wasn't quite proud of the images within his mind. He wasn't quite happy as his mind is going insane. He was going to die in the world except he didn't allow fear gets the better of him. "Why didn't you save me, you promised to protect me and mommy? Daddy, where are you? Why are you and mommy is fighting?" It didn't leave his mind. Jack kept having these awful memories and nightmares about it. He just couldn't forget the biggest failure of it all: losing his family. He and his deceased wife had their fights, but they weren't normally anything big. But there was something else that drove him into first losing his wife, before he lost his daughter. He has hidden his emotions from the public except he drank alcohol like a madman to try to get it away. The money doesn't replace the family anymore as he refused to come out and socialized with the others. The church refused to help him except for some who gives an advice to confront the past. "I can't take it anymore,” Jack thought to himself, "No matter what I do, no matter what anyone tells that I have to do... my pain will never go away. I will never be able to find my peace in this rotten world gone mad.” He looks down at his hand, holding a bottle of sleeping pills. "I have no choice...Death is the only escape from the madness,” he said still talking to himself. "I don't care what anyone says. No one will miss me, not even Amala, or Lord Gessor or anyone. I will reunite with my family in the afterlife,” With his mind made up, he emptied the bottle and filled his own mouth with the pills; he washed them down his throat with a glass of water. Then he lies down and goes to sleep, allowing the pills to take effect. "That you are wrong, Jack Cayman…” "Your story won't end yet...not while there is still hope…” The mysterious entity disappeared from Jack's world with his body. Jack was dying and the police cars were driving right in front of his apartment. The entity has pity on Jack as she watched him wake up in the forest. He wasn't human anymore as he looked around, but she won't make any appearance soon as she disappeared. "Where am I?" Jack wondered as he looked around the forest. He tries to move his body, except something was off confused; he tries lifting his hand and look at it. He has a WTF reaction when instead of seeing his own hand, he saw a hoof. “A hoof?!" Jack still had a WTF expression. He tries looking all over his body, but it was still hard to tell, but he could see what looked like a hairy tail behind but he still couldn't just make it out. Then he saw a nearby pond, he tries to move toward it so he could see his reflection. When he looked down and saw it, instead of seeing his own human face, he saw the face of... a horse? Or is it a pony? Nevertheless, he let out a scream of horror that echoed throughout the forest, scaring all the nearby animals and birds around the area. "What the (Beep) did I just become?!" he yelled out loud in a state of panic. "I died and then I come back to life as a freaking HORSE or PONY or whatever the hell I am!? WHAT THE (Beep) IS GOING ON HERE!?!?!?" This was all too much for him to handle all at once as he ran around in a panic, his screams and shouting scaring away all the animals around the place, some even think it's just some crazy pony who has no idea what he's doing, others don't even want to think about it, as Jack continued to panic not knowing that he panicked, but he attracted the attention of two certain individuals, one who lived just outside the forest and another who actually lived in it. Back with Jack, it took him about an hour to finally stop running around in circles in a panic, as he fell exhausted. He was still freaked out, but at least he finally had time to think about what the hell is going on. “Ok... So I just died and then I got reborn as a pony... While still keeping my memories as a human... Why the hell do I still remember about myself and my life, if I was supposed to reincarnate or something like that?" Jack tried to think logically, but instead all he got was headache thinking about it. Nothing made sense to him anymore as he looks down to his right leg, all mechanical and had a chainsaw blade coming out of it. "At least I still have my chainsaw,” Jack thought to himself. "But that hardly makes up for the fact that I'm now a pony trapped in the middle of a forest...for some reason.” He grumbled under his breath when he looked around the forest as he flinched to hear someone calming the animals down. The individuals followed where that was coming from, but they saw Jack. Jack reacted when he saw the two individuals before him as he was still in the state of panic. The two individuals weren't human at all. One was a yellow pony with wings, a Pegasus to be exact, with long pink made and tail and blue eyes. The other one was a zebra wearing large gold earrings and Gold necklaces around her neck, like an African woman, except she was a zebra. The Pegasus said as she reacted, “Oh Dear… He looks so frightened…” The Zebra takes a closer look, “What he is doing here in the forest? I don’t know, but one thing is for sure, he picked the wrong place to take a walk in.” As the Zebra walked up to Jack Cayman as she examined him as Jack doesn't know what to say since he never encountered talking animals or a Pegasus before. He has nothing to say, but he reacted in a panic as he fainted before them. Jack said in his mind, "This is WRONG in many levels; I never ENCOUNTERED TALKING ZEBRA AND PEGASUS! IS THIS A DREAM OR NIGHTMARE?" Jack woke up in a dream again as he looked around the place. He wondered what he got in the situation as he looked except it was unfamiliar as he heard the voice. "Hello Jack Cayman!" Jack reacted when he looked around except he flinched when he almost got a heart attack to see an alicorn. "I know you are scared and confused about all of this, but rest assured, we are not here to harm you,” the alicorn said. "You're not real! None of this is real! This is all just a bad dream! Yeah, a DREAM!" Jack insisted, trying to snap back to reality, as he was still in panic. "If it is a dream, you will not wake up from your sleep and you took a lot of pills," the alicorn said as she revealed herself before Jack, "If I left you to die, you will end up in a grave. I brought you here because I felt bad for you…” Jack reminded when he drank all the sleeping pills and he wasn't getting up soon. If the alicorn hasn't come, he would be dead for good and buried in the graveyard. He would be dead when he never thought about it twice as he flinched for a second. He realized what he has done and he was dead in the world, but not in this world. He has a lot of questions in his mind on how he got into the world. Jack said as he looked at the alicorn, "So meaning?" "I saved your life, because I knew what you were feeling and I believed you deserved better," the alicorn replied as she remained calm, "You may be considered dead in your home world, but in this world, you were given a second chance in life and find that inner peace that you desire.” "My apologies..,” Princess Luna said as she reacted, but remained calm, "Old habits die hard…” Jack didn't say a word except he rubbed his ears, which were still ringing from Luna's voice. It took Jack about thirty minutes to recover from Luna's voice as she sighed. It took Jack about thirty minutes to recover from Luna's voice as she sighed. "Ok, the ringing is gone," said Jack said to Princess Luna calmly. "What are you saying?" said Jack as he was prepared. Princess Luna ended up explaining to Jack about this world that is in now as Jack struggled to take the cigarette from his pocket. He tries to pick it up, but he tried to light it up with the lighter. As it was struggled for him since he was Earth Pony, Princess Luna apologized for what his abilities that he is going to be lacking. "My apologies, but since you are now an Earth Pony, there are some abilities that you used as a human that you will lack now, such as picking things up," explained Luna as she was watching him as Jack struggled to pick up the cigarette. "What?" said Jack reacted in shock. He dropped his cigarette on the floor, but there was a voice reminded him from the past. When he promised his daughter never smoke cigarette since it was bad for his health. Jack was reminded when his daughter stood before him and he was reminded of the promise a long time ago that he forgot. "You promised not to smoke again, but you have broken it…”' He could hear his daughter's voice, like she was right next to him. Jack didn't say much as he was struggling with the past when he lost his mind. It was torturing to admit that he broke promise as he picked up the smoking habits. He tries to keep it hidden except the memories won't go away. It left a mental scar within his heart that it hurts so much. Princess Luna witnessed that Jack was struggling with the memories that he wanted forget. Princess Luna comforted Jack, but Jack doesn't want comfort from a goddess. His old and new ways doesn't mix up within his mind. He wanted to die, but his anger remained inside of him. Princess Luna knew that it will harden to break him out the chain as she felt the power within him. Jack doesn't notice it except Princess Luna knew that he has the potential and the next one. She cannot say it since it was too soon to tell him as she disappeared before him. "We will meet again Jack Cayman, good luck,” Princess Luna's last words before she disappeared. To Be Continued. //-------------------------------------------------------// Arc 1: Jack meets the Mane 6: Chapter 2: Twilight Meets Jack I //-------------------------------------------------------// Arc 1: Jack meets the Mane 6: Chapter 2: Twilight Meets Jack I Arc 1: Jack meets the Mane 6: Chapter 2: Twilight Meets Jack I Twilight decided to allow Fluttershy to meet Jack, but it doesn't mean that she wasn't going to go easy on him. She doesn't trust him as she keeps close distance to get to know him. While Twilight and Fluttershy were having a conversation, Jack doesn't know what to say when it comes to three fillies. His left eye was twitching because they were cute. The voices reminded him his own daughter that he missed. He wasn't sure how to say it when he used to get along with the kids, but not anymore. As it was a struggled since he reminded himself that he used to be a detective searching for missing children. As the three fillies were very curious about him, but he wasn't aware that he has a cutie mark on his flank. "Okay, you can meet him, Fluttershy, but that doesn't mean I'll go easy on him, being that I'm still not sure about him," Twilight said as she was suspicious. "Why don't you trust him?" Fluttershy asked as she was concerned, "I think he's a nice pony. Just look at him,” As they watched him talking with the three fillies, even though Jack seemed to be struggling to talk with them for some reason, they don't know yet. "No offense, but he looks like he's having trouble talking back to them than actually talking to them," Spike said, he has been just as suspicious as Twilight. "Let's just give him a chance, I think he's trustworthy," Fluttershy insisted. Twilight noticed his cutie mark on his flank, but she doesn't find it trust worthy since it resembled something that is his occupation. Twilight asked, "Fluttershy, have you seen his cutie mark yet?” Spike asked as he tilted his head, "Why is there a chain with a skeleton and two wretches in shape of an "x" or was it something?" "Excuse me mister, but what does that cutie mark stand for?" the yellow filly asked Jack, as she noticed his cutie mark. Jack flinched when he saw the cutie mark on his flank. He didn't know what a cutie mark was, or what their meaning was. As he struggled to answer that question, but he just didn't know what the hell it meant as he couldn't find himself to answer her question. Jack said in his mind, "It resembles the logo on the back of my jack for some, but…” Jack said in confusion, "What is a cutie mark?" Twilight knew that it was more than she expected, everyone knows about the cutie mark. She knew that he was bad news about him from him when she felt something was wrong with her magic. As she feels the wind was blowing stronger as it was dark all of the sudden. Twilight got a bad feeling about it, but none seem to be aware about it yet. She looked at him, but she got a gut feeling about this. She was a bit worried and suspicious, but she doesn't trust him. She got an idea for a challenge to see if he is trustworthy or not as she thinks privately in her mind. She doesn't want Fluttershy or the others to think that she doesn't trust him as she pretended to take an interest in him. It doesn't mean that no-one will suspect a thing since she made up the lies within her mind to say to Jack. She feels guilty about lying to a new face except she needed her friends help for the challenge. When he is asleep the plan will go in motion. "So, what's the cutie mark for?" the yellow filly asked Jack, starting to become impatient. "If it has something to do with my talents, then I guess it's for killing a bunch of bad people," Jack admits. Every pony reacts at the word "killing". Murder is something that rarely happens in Ponyville, or in all of Equestria for that matter. When you encounter a bad pony or creature, it doesn't justify "murder"; no matter how bad what they had done was… "Killing?!" Fluttershy asked in shock, horror and fright. Jack said in his mind, "I should have never said anything like that?' Jack said, "Did I say killing, I mean punishing!!!" The orange filly asked, "What kind of bad pony?" Everyone sighed in relief as they continued on, but Jack has to choose his words wisely to make a bad impression. He should never say that before three innocent children, but everyone overheard it. The three fillies are still curious as they asked him numerous questions and Fluttershy sighed in relief as he meant "punishment" not killing. She wasn't sure what to say, but she was glad that it wasn't "killing" for some odd reason. But Twilight and Spike on the other hand, weren't too convinced. Twilight was pretty sure he was serious when he said "killing", but then again, she also didn't sense any lying when he said punishing either. But that doesn't mean she won't find him suspicious. "I punish ponies who commit crimes before I send them to jail,” Jack explained to the fillies about his talent. "Are you a knight or a bodyguard?" said the white filly. "What kind o' crimes?" The yellow filly asked in a curious tone. Jack has to choose his words wisely since there are crimes in the world that will do cruel acts of innocent people. Killers who killed people for fun and some will go far enough to abuse them before kill them. There are crimes beyond inhumane than robbery and vandalized properties. He has to look through cases before he has gone rouge for his crime as punishing and killing people are the same difference to avenge the soul. He has a lot to think about it when they looked at him with curious for the answers. Jack said to them, "Ponies who cruel acts against the law without any mercy to the victim... Those who could do the worst damage to break a family apart or worse…” The yellow filly appeared to be unease except she was hiding something that her friends don’t know about. She could understand what punishment means, but killing. It was something that is out of the ordinary, but she will have to ask Jack secretly. "Oh," the white filly didn't understand much of it, but only a little curious. "And those who will kill the innocent children without any care in the world," said Jack as his tone was serious except mixed with sadness as he was reminded of the case that he failed to save an innocent girl, "Those who will neglect their lovers and I also searched for innocent victims who were kidnapped or missing... makes sure that they get back to their family.” To Be Continued. //-------------------------------------------------------// Arc 1: Jack Meet the Mane 6: Chapter 3: Twilight Meets Jack II //-------------------------------------------------------// Arc 1: Jack Meet the Mane 6: Chapter 3: Twilight Meets Jack II Arc 1: Jack Meet the Mane 6: Chapter 3: Twilight Meets Jack II Fluttershy flinched for a second, but she listened to every word for Jack has to say. She encountered people are cruel except they are bullies, but sometimes bullies could evil too. She never countered Jack have the experience that she could tell that he cared about the children and the innocent ponies. She could tell that he could risk anything to protect them and punished evil doers as she remembered stories that she read. Twilight and Spike don't find anything amusing, but Spike was interesting except he hid his emotions. He could have some sympathy for Jack for an odd reason, but he doesn't trust him. "I never thought of that,” Fluttershy said as she reacted in surprise. Twilight doesn't say much when she walked up to Jack as she ended up questioning him about his occupation. As she wanted to see if he was lying or something since she doesn't believe it. Since there are no cruel acts except for robbery and conning people. There was something else in her mind that she doesn't trust him as she decided to use her logic against him. Jack will counter the logic as he looked from the fillies to Twilight as she walked up to him. "A Pony will kill others for fun, or abuse them before they are able to kill them?" Twilight chuckled. "Sorry, but I find that hard to believe!" "What do you mean?" Jack asked. Jack gave her the look since he was quite serious when they gave each other the glare as if they are rivals from the beginning. Twilight knew that there are no such things as ponies killing each other for fun, but the yellow filly knew about the incident when she came to Everfree Forest. There are cruel ponies cursed themselves that kill innocent filly in her opinion, but she doesn't want to tell anyone yet. "There are no ponies in Ponyville like that, plus, there have never been any reports of any pony abusing or killing others for fun in other lands of Equestria!" Twilight explained. "If there WERE such reports like that all over the news, I would believe in you, but there aren't so there's a reason to doubt you!" "There are no ponies in Ponyville like that, plus, there have never been any reports of any pony abusing or killing others for fun in other lands of Equestria!" Twilight explained, "If there WERE such reports like that all over the news, I would believe in you, but there aren't so there's a reason to doubt you!" "Yeah! Well, let me ask you this: have you ever heard of the term "Off the Record"?" Jack countered Twilight's logic. "What if there ARE such things as ponies that abuse and kill for fun, but we keep them hidden from the public, to avoid panic from others!" Jack and Twilight gave each other the look, but it wasn't going to stop there since there is no such thing. Twilight continued to use her logic against Jack, but there is no such thing in her opinion. There are secrets that Celestia is hiding from her and the others to avoid the others from panicking. She doesn't know about it when she continued to prove him wrong, but she wasn't going to lose to him. The yellow filly knew that Jack was telling the truth when he said that there were ponies that kill others, due to the incident she experienced in the Everfree Forest, but she refused to tell her friends or any phony about it. However, she wants to tell Jack about in private. "Um, excuse me?" Fluttershy asked to Jack and Twilight who are still arguing, "I'm sorry to say this but...this argument isn't going anywhere, how about we simply, change the subject? If that's ok?" "Stay out of this Fluttershy!" Jack and Twilight yelled at her in unison, causing Fluttershy to back away in fear, before they continue on arguing. "Oh dear, that wasn't nice at all!" Fluttershy reacted in shock and fear. Jack stopped himself before it gets worse when Fluttershy was right. The argument doesn't mean anything when he walked away and apologized to her. Jack stopped himself when there are three fillies right behind them and they aren't being good figures. He was reminded of the argument when he and his wife over the incidents within the past. When he heard his daughter crying in his mind as he have to stop himself before it gets worse as he walked up to her. The CMC looked very upset and Sweetie was crying. "Fluttershy has a point Twilight, which argument was only letting you two back to where you started,” Spike said, agreeing with Fluttershy. "And you made Sweetie Belle cry,” Fluttershy added. Jack sighed when he walked up to Sweetie Belle as he reminded of when he upset his daughter. He said as he comforted Sweetie Belle, "I am sorry for the argument, I am sorry for making you cry…” He doesn't know how making her smile again, he noticed a branch. He kicked the tree of the library and it fell down. Jack has a chance to use to make a toy out of it when he used his chainsaw to do the trick. The fillies and the others noticed that when he was going to bring a smile again. He put his effort into making a toy as he walked up to Sweetie Belle; he placed a toy before her. The fillies reacted when they got Sweetie Belle to notice the toy. Sweetie Belle smiled in delight and she hugged the toy happily. "Thank you Mister!" Sweetie Belle said happily and gives him a kiss on the cheek, causing him to blush. The others find it adorable, except Spike and the orange filly, both doing a "Gag me" face. "Ewwwww!" Scootaloo yelled in disgust. Jack reminded Scootaloo, "I was like that when I was a kid...” Jack reminded when he was just a kid as he founded the cuteness and kisses are disgusted. Sweetie Belle hugged it closer to her while Twilight didn't say much when she gave Jack the look. Fluttershy sighed in relief. "See Twilight? He is trustworthy and we can actually consider him our friend,” Fluttershy said happily, already accepting Jack as a friend. Twilight didn't say anything; she still finds him suspicious and wants to make sure he doesn't do anything that will certainly make him look untrustworthy. Spike had mixed opinions however. "Uh girls? Shouldn't we get going and go do some more crusading or something, I think I'm starting to gag!" Scootaloo said as she unable to stand the cuteness and kisses any longer. Jack said to Scootaloo, "wait until you are old enough... But could you give me a tour around Ponyville?" "Hey, that's a good idea!" the yellow filly known as Apple Bloom agreed to that. "We could be...” "Uh oh,” Twilight, Fluttershy and Spike gulped as they cover their ears. "CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS, TOUR GUIDES, YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!" the three fillies shouted on top of their lungs. Jack flinched as he covered his ears a bit late, feeling the ringing. "That was even worse than Luna's loud voice!" he said in his mind. He cannot help it; they are just children after all. After recovering the three fillies decided to take Jack on a tour around Ponyville, Fluttershy, Twilight and Spike decide to join them. "I guess we better go with you and help with the tour,” Twilight said. Twilight sighed when she went ahead of the place that they are heading off to. She made up an excuse to make sure the preparation was ready with the plans. She has to bring Spike along too since she needed to know if he was trustworthy, but she wanted to know the truth. To Be Continued… //-------------------------------------------------------// Arc 1: Jack Meet the Mane 6: Chapter 4: Jack Meet Twilight III //-------------------------------------------------------// Arc 1: Jack Meet the Mane 6: Chapter 4: Jack Meet Twilight III Arc 1: Jack Meet the Mane 6: Chapter 4: Jack Meet Twilight III Twilight was plotting something when she went on ahead to Apple Acres; she needed to make her plans in motion now. They are heading there as she made up an excuse to make preparation for the newcomer. Twilight said to Spike, "I don't know who is he, but he isn't from around here at all.” "Duh, Fluttershy said he's from Manehattan," Spike said. "No Spike, I meant he's not from Equestria at all!" Twilight cleared things up, "I don't know why, but I can clearly tell, he's NOT Equestrian.” "What do you mean by that?" Spike wasn't getting the picture. "Well for starters, when the Cutie mark Crusaders asked him about his Cutie Mark, he acted as if he didn't know anything about it from the start,” Twilight explained, "For all we know, any pony at his age KNOWS exactly what a Cutie mark is right away. We all learn about them in school.” "Maybe he was just hesitating about telling them what he does?" Spike gave a wild guess. Twilight got an idea to send a letter to Princess Celestia about the mysterious newcomer. "Princess Celestia must know about this. Spike, take a letter,” Twilight said. "Uh, ok,” Spike pulled out his quill and a scroll. "Dear Princess Celestia, A new pony has arrived here in Ponyville, however, I'm not sure I can call him a friend or not just yet. He looks mighty suspicious, Fluttershy claims that she and Zecora found them in the Everfree Forest; he claims that he's from Manehatten; however, I noticed right away that he didn't know what a Cutie Mark was at first when the Cutie Mark Crusaders asked him what his Cutie Mark was for. And when he mentioned that he kills...uh, I mean, 'punishes' ponies that kill other ponies for neither fun, something that obviously never happened before, nor have there been any reports about them going around in other places. Spike and I are keeping an eye on him, but just in case, I wish that you do something about this case as well if things go wrong. Your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle" After he was finished, Spike rolled up the scroll and burned it to ashes with his flame breath, as the ashes fly all the way to its destination. "There, it's on its way,” Spike said, "But I wouldn't get your hopes up if I were you." After he was finished, Spike rolled up the scroll and burned it to ashes with his flame breath, as the ashes fly all the way to its destination. "There, it's on its way,” Spike said, "But I wouldn't get your hopes up if I were you.” Meanwhile in Cantorlot, Princess Celestia got the letter from Twilight Sparkles and opened it. She read the letter and her expression was a bit shocked. Princess Celestia didn't say a word when she read it twice, but Princess Luna came in after she was called. Princess Luna has her reasons to defend the newcomer because she brought him into the world. She detected danger as she noticed something was swirling in the sky except it was smaller. Princess Luna said, "Dear sister, did you call me?" Yes, Luna," Celestia replied. Luna knew that it was going to be related to Jack Cayman who was brought into the world. As she saw Celestia read her student's letter when she knew that the letter was written from Twilight Sparkles. She knew her sister wouldn't like the idea of bringing an outsider from another world to Equestia. Luna will defend her reasons why she brought Jack into the world when she felt something evil beyond the sky. She knew that Twilight and her friends need to learn something about judging others from what they appeared to be. Luna cannot hold it against herself when Celestia looked up at her; she ended up explaining to her sister. "What do you want to talk about, dear sister?" Luna asked. "What exactly were you thinking, bringing in an outsider in our world?" Celestia asked, "I just received a letter from Twilight tells me about a new pony that looks mighty suspicious and didn't know what a Cutie Mark was at first and mention things like "punishing” ponies who loved kill other ponies for fun". Care to explain this to me because I know for a fact that you have something to do with this.” Luna sighted, "Alright sister, you caught me. I did bring the outsider into our world,” she admits it. "And care to share your reasons for bringing him here?" Celestia asked. First, Luna will have to set her facts straight about the misunderstanding of what Twilight has written in the letter. Then she will explain to Celestia her reasons. “He deserves to have a second chance,” Luna explained. "He does kill evil ponies kill other ponies for fun, but it was for justice. Also, he had a caring family, and he tragically made a mistake by sending them away and as a result, they were dead.” Celestia said to Luna, "Continue?" Celestia doesn't like the idea of killing, but she knew that there is a reason to punish evil doers for their cruel acts. Celestia and Luna are much aware, but she doesn't want anything involved with killing from what happen in the past. There was death from famine or the cold, but it had been a while since there is a death in hooves of a pony. There are secrets that they are much aware about, but there is some remained unsaid. Luna continued to explain when she knew Celestia don't seem to like the idea, but Luna's true intention was to make the candidate to become the last element that was forgotten a long time ago. Luna knew that the walls have ears, but she has to keep it to herself. She asked her sister one question, "Do you remember the Element of Harmony that was lost a long time ago?" Celestia paused for a second when Luna mentions the Element of Harmony that have been lost. There were no records of the Elements of Harmony lost, but there were Honesty, Kindness, Generosity, laughter, Loyalty and Magic. It hits her when Celestia was reminded of one more Element that is the Seventh One. “Yes, I do know of that lost Element of Harmony," Celestia replied. Celestia realized what Luna's intention when she said, "Were you trying to?" "Yes," said Luna nodded. Luna said, "I was trying to find the right one who is going to revive back with the old Element of Harmony. The Element used to have a name except it was forgotten a long time ago. Your student and friends don't know about it, but it needed to be revived again for the new threat is going to arrive.” Celestia flinched when there was not a threat after Discord turned back to stone by Twilight and her friends with the Elements of Harmony. Celestia and Luna flinched when they felt the wave, but Luna looked out of the sky. It was getting bigger as she saw from the distance that the color was getting drained for an odd reason. Celestia looked out from the distance, but there was no explanation about it. Celestia looked at Luna and she was going to say a word until Prince Blueblood showed up. “Aunt Celestia. Aunt Luna," Blueblood said as he entered. "Blueblood, what are you doing here?" Celestia asked surprised to see her nephew. "How long have you been listening to our conversation, blue-blood?" Luna asked her nephew in suspicious. Celestia will not forgive Prince Blueblood for what he did to Rarity, but she was a bit upset that he hasn’t sent a letter to her for his apology. Luna sighed when she looked at Prince Blueblood, but he changed as quickly as possible. The meeting was supposed to be private, but he overheard it. Celestia and Luna saw within his eyes that he was going into a different path instead what Celestia were trying to teach about "friendship". Blueblood said as he chuckled, "Oh don't be silly, Aunt Luna. I wasn't listening…” He loved his aunt so much and hates Twilight and her friends for what they gained. He loses, but thinks his aunt choose the wrong unicorn to be the student. It was supposed to be of the bloodline, but not a commoner in his opinion. He doesn't show it, but he hides it. No-one suspected a thing about what his true potential, but it hurts Celestia from the inside. "For your sake, I hope not,” Celestia said in a suspicious tone. Luna said to Blueblood in a calm tone, "Have you finished writing the apology letters to Twilight's friends Rarity and Applejack?" Luna hasn't forgotten that Blueblood was rude to Applejack too, but it wasn't Rarity alone. She gave him the look, but Blueblood chuckled calmly as he makes an excuse. "My dear Aunt Luna, I was busy trying to get my suit cleaned from the mess in the incident at the last Grand Galloping Gala,” Blueblood said. "Is that your excuse?" Celestia asked in suspicion. "I'm sorry, but I find that excuse pretty poor.” "Agreed, how can you put your suit over the apology?" Luna asked. Blueblood wasn't done yet when he was calm except he ended up questioning Celestia on why she chosen Twilight for her student instead by bloodline. Blueblood has his own standard of despises on Twilight for being noticeable than him. Blueblood has his reasons to be rude to them since they aren't from Cantorlot, but they are from another low-class town. Blueblood was calm when he referred his suit and looks over an apology to the commoners of Ponyville. He hates Twilight and her friends for the reason for taking away everything, but it doesn't mean that he won't back down from the fight. "Yes, I referred the clothes and look over an apology to some commoner mare that doesn’t deserve to be at the Grand Galloping Gala," Blueblood replied in calm, "Why would you want invite the commoners who aren't around here over your own family? Especially when it come your "Favorite" student over your "favorite" nephew, Dear Aunt Celestia…” Celestia had a look of disgust and anger on her face of what Blueblood just said about Twilight and her friends. Celestia was forced to remain calm when they were over the reasons again, but she was much aware of the jealousy within Prince Blueblood. She has her reasons since Blueblood never have taken the lesson seriously about friendship, but he was good with magic. He considered to a spoiled brat and charming, but not well behave when it comes to new faces. He has charisma, but he enjoyed taking advantage to unsuspected victims or grunts. Luna sighed when she knew Celestia had spoiled Prince Blueblood a bit too much for his personality takes it for the worse. Luna knew that Prince Blueblood has a lot to learn about friendship since he doesn't take it very seriously. Luna doesn't like it when Prince Blueblood insults Twilight and her friends, but Blueblood should watch his tongue. "I advise you to watch what you say in front of your own aunts, unless you want to know what's like to be a "commoner",” Luna warned Blueblood in a calm manner. "Was that a threat?" Blueblood chuckled. "Yes and no,” Luna said. "Yes, because no one insults Twilight and her friends and that includes you Blueblood, and no, because it's only meant to be a healthy advice from your aunt.” "Could you explain their misbehavior?" Blueblood asked. "What misbehavior?" Celestia asked. Blueblood chuckled, "Why don't ask the ponies who attended last time?" Blueblood turned his back on his two aunts as he departed from the room, but Celestia wasn't what Blueblood was trying to say. He doesn't want to be overshadowed by someone who was also from another world because of some ancient Element of Harmony. He wasn't going to have it anymore when he walked away, but he gave the look to his own Aunt Luna. "I should write a reply to Twilight's message,” Celestia said with suspicion. Celestia wasn't quite done with their conversation involving the outsider, but she feels the dark wave. She noticed the sky turning into color into uncolored, but she wasn't quite sure about the atmosphere was going to change. Luna knew that it was too quick when she flinched that everything was turning black and white far away from the mountain. Celestia sighed when she was wanted to see the outsider for herself when she looked at the letter. She ended up sending the letter to Twilight Sparkles except she heard an evil laugh. Celestia said within her mind, "It can't be…” To Be Continued… //-------------------------------------------------------// Arc 1: Jack Meet the Mane 6: Chapter 5: Jack Meets Rainbow Dash and Derpy //-------------------------------------------------------// Arc 1: Jack Meet the Mane 6: Chapter 5: Jack Meets Rainbow Dash and Derpy Arc 1: Jack Meet the Mane 6: Chapter 5: Jack Meets Rainbow Dash and Derpy Meanwhile, back in Ponyville, Jack continued on with the tour with the CMC and Fluttershy. Suddenly they heard a lightning bolt they looked up and saw a cyan Pegasus with Rainbow Dash manes arguing with a gray one with blonde mane. "Watch it, Derpy!" The cyan Pegasus shouted, "You don't want to cause more damage than you've already done!" "I just don't know what went wrong!" The Gray Pegasus, Derpy, said. "That makes two of us now,” the cyan Pegasus said in her mind. "What is going on up there?" Jack asked Fluttershy and the CMC as he watched the two Pegasuses argue. "Oh my, it seems Derpy did something wrong and made Rainbow Dash upset,” Fluttershy said as she watched. Jack didn't say a word when he knew what the disable people have been though, but he knew it wasn't Derpy's fault. He couldn't help when he noticed that her eyes are both awkward, but he doesn't want to disrespect her. He has a gut feeling that to defend Derpy, but he looked at Fluttershy. Then he looked at Rainbow Dash as he ended up telling her straight. Jack said to Fluttershy in calm, "I don't think Derpy did something wrong since her eyes tells another story due to the fact that she is disable. Your friend should never be hard on her, you are Pegasus too right?" Fluttershy knew about Derpy's disadvantage, but she saw the damage around the place. She understood what Jack was saying because it was the eyes that is giving a disadvantage to Derpy. Fluttershy sighed when she have to help them out as Jack got Rainbow Dash and Derpy's attention by a whistle. "Oh! A new pony," Rainbow Dash exclaimed in surprise on seeing Jack. Jack noticed something was going to happen to Derpy as his instinct began to kick in. He saw a mysterious hand came out of the portal, but felt the wind flowing. He saw the sky turning uncolored except it was odd as he saw something was going to fall upon Derpy. He rushed in as quickly as possible to save Derpy before a tragic strike. Thinking fast, Jack shouted urgently, "Watch out!" Rainbow Dash reacted in surprise that Jack shows his athletic skills. Jack noticed something odd when the color was gone and he saw an unknown entity chuckling in the background. He flinched when he saw former contestant tries to attack Derpy, but he could see them. The other ponies don’t when Rainbow Dash noticed something wrong with the equipment. Rainbow Dash was astonished of Jack's moves as he saved Derpy as Jack knew that the building was falling apart. "Get out of the way," Jack shouted as everyone ended up getting out of the way. "What's going on?" Twilight asked in shock and surprise as soon as she and the ponies got out of the way. The building fell apart as everyone got out of the way as it crumbled down into rubble. Rainbow Dash destroyed parts of the debris flying from the town, but that never did happen in Ponyville before. Jack looked up as the sky became normal again and the contestants that he could see. They disappeared before him as the memories haunt him except he saw the silhouette looking out from the portal before it disappeared. "What in Equestria was that?" Rainbow Dash asked in concern. "Oh dear, is every pony alright?" Fluttershy asked in concern. Twilight doesn't believe such thing since she didn't see anything or the sky turning uncolored. She didn't see the silhouette disappeared within the portal as she looked back at the others. She got a gut feeling something is wrong when she feels the wind except she looked at Jack. Spike suddenly looked like he was about to throw up, but then he burps out a green flame, which then changed into a scroll, the message from Princess Celestia. "Did that just happen?" Jack asked in surprise, hiding his disgust from the message coming out of the dragon's mouth. Jack saw people spitting out a fire or removing the dagger from their mouth, but it isn't more disturbing in his opinion. He didn't say a word when he imagined someone throwing up a message from the mouth like a cat coughed out hairball. "Celestia must've replied,” Twilight said before she took the scroll with her message, "Let's see what she said..,” She expected Celestia to allow her to do something about Jack except Spike was a bit nervous when he looked at the letter. He knew it was going to happen... She expected Celestia to allow her to do something about Jack except Spike was a bit nervous when he looked at the letter. He knew that Twilight should never get her hopes up when he was shaking. Twilight wondered what Celestia writes when she decided to read it herself. After reading the message, Twilight got a look of worry on her face as she said, "Oh no…” Derpy was shaking after what happen after Jack saved her life when she walked up to him. As Twilight ended up reading the letter before them, Jack was offered a muffin for her thanks for saving her life. "Thanks for saving me, mister,” Derpy said, "Here, have a muffin, my way of repaying you.” Then she gave Jack a muffin. Jack didn't say a word, but he was reminded that he have never offered a reward before. He accepted it as he never tried a muffin before except this was going to be the first time. Rainbow Dash ended up introducing herself before Jack after the performance. Jack said to Derpy, "Thank you, I think…” Jack noticed Twilight's expression when he ended up asking her a question, "Is there something wrong?" Twilight ignored Jack's question when she looked through the letter when Fluttershy walked up to her. As Spike was smirking to tell Twilight that he told her so except it wasn't going to help her mood to change. She grumbled under her breath that she never expected this to happen, but she is still going to keep an eye on Jack. "Well Twilight, I hate to say I've told you so!" Spike smirked victoriously, "You shouldn't get your hopes too high like that.” "Whatever Spike..,” Twilight groaned. Jack said, "Uh care to explain?" Jack hoped that Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy to shed some lights. Spike ended up explaining to Jack about it except Twilight doesn't want Spike to know since they don't trust him. Fluttershy sighed when she doesn't understand when Twilight and Spike departed from the scene. "I just don't understand why Twilight is like this, acting all unfriendly toward you," Fluttershy said to Jack. "You just saved Derpy's life..." Rainbow Dash sighed when she would like to have a word with Twilight Sparkles. She and Fluttershy will consider Jack a friend, but she needed to have to word with Twilight alone. Rainbow Dash gives a word to the Cutie Mark Crusaders to give Jack a tour alone. Derpy accompanied Jack to show him around, but he seemed to understand about why Twilight was distrusted. Apple Bloom got an idea to give Jack a tour to Sweet Apple Acres, but Twilight was one step ahead of them. Rainbow Dash flew up to Twilight and gave her the glare. She said, "Twilight, we needed to have a word?" Twilight said, "You have been friendly to the other ponies, but why Jack?" "Seriously? He just saved Derpy from certain death!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. "If it wasn't for him, Derpy would be dead by now!" Rainbow Dash continued. "Isn't that enough for you to trust him?!" Twilight shook her head when she doesn't trust him at all, but she wanted more to prove to be her that she could trust Jack. "No, it's not. I need more proof he could be trusted," Twilight said. "Like what?" Rainbow Dash asked. Twilight tries to think of one as Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy waited for an answer. Twilight ended up coming up one excuse. "Well, uh..." Twilight said as she tried to think of what kind of proof. Twilight ended up coming up one as she ended up jumping into conclusion instead of listening to her heart. Rainbow Dash ended up making a bet with her to prove that Jack isn't what she thinks he is. Rainbow Dash said, "If you want us to prove us wrong, how about a bet?" "Alright, I'll prove to you that he isn't trustworthy and when I do, you're going to have to take Spike's place as my assistant for a month!" Twilight said. "You're on! And if we prove you wrong, you're going to have to buy us all the sweets and drinks at Sugar Cube Corner, with all of your money!" Rainbow Dash said with a smirk. "Plus, you have to apologize to Mr. Jack for being so mean to him," Fluttershy added. "So what do you say Twilight? Do you take it, or are you chicken?" Rainbow Dash taunted Twilight. "Fine, you’re on!" Twilight said. Spike nodded when he smiled except he was going to be on Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy's side of the bet. He knew that Twilight was stubborn to prove that Jack was evil, but after what he was told. He began to gradually trust Jack slowly. Twilight isn't going to let Spike be on their side since she needed his help to spy on Jack. "I am not going to let them win the bet," said Twilight in her mind as she was confident that she was going to win the bet. To Be Continued. //-------------------------------------------------------// Arc 1: Jack Meets the Mane 6: Chapter 6: Jack Meet the Apple Family I //-------------------------------------------------------// Arc 1: Jack Meets the Mane 6: Chapter 6: Jack Meet the Apple Family I Arc 1: Jack Meets the Mane 6: Chapter 6: Jack Meet the Apple Family I She flinched when she feels a slight chill in her spine when she noticed the uncolored sky except it converted back to normal. She didn't say a word when she kept it to herself as Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy headed straight to the Sweet Apple Acre. She smiled when her plans were coming in motion, but it wasn't going to become very easy to convince the others. As she decided to follow except she acted cool as she walked, but Spike wasn't sure. When he felt something was a bit wrong as he looked around the place, but why does he feel angry inside? He never felt angry before since he has been Twilight's assistance, but he ignored it. Meanwhile with Jack, Derpy and CMC, they arrived at the Sweet Apple Acre as Apple Bloom talked about their home to Jack. Jack never expected a farm before him from the distance. It feels a bit peaceful when he saw nothing, but apple trees and the smell of Apple Pie brings back sweet memories. Apple Bloom was excited to get Jack to meet her family except he was a bit more comfortable until he encountered Applejack and Big Mac. "You're gonna love mah family and our farm here in Sweet Apple Acres, Jack!" Apple Bloom said excitedly. Jack was calm when he nodded at Apple Bloom, except noticed that Applejack and Big Mac have different expressions. As he calmed down, he said, "I will enjoy it, Apple Bloom." Excited, Apple Bloom rushed over to her siblings. "Hey Applejack, Big Mac! Come meet the new pony!" she said in excitement. Applejack looked at Jack for a second before she makes her own judgment for what Twilight says. He is very honest one when she looked at him as she felt he gone through a lot of trouble within the past. She looked at him when Twilight talked about him except she noticed his one of his legs is mechanical. She wondered something went wrong from the incident with the past without any question. She remained calm as she introduced herself and Big Mac to Jack. Applejack learned to never judge people like what happened during the Zecora incident. She takes a deep breath when she walked to Jack, but she could tell that he is a friendly one inside. She remained calm, but thinks Twilight's judgment is getting the best of her. Jack and Big Mac stared at each other, and Big Mac passed the judgment that he isn't a bad guy at all what he appeared to be. He began to ask about his mechanical leg. Applejack said with honesty, "Apple Bloom, Ah'm not sure if he can be trusted, 'ta be honest, after what Twilight told me, but... but Ah do know that he can be friendly, since he saved Derpy's life." After looking at Jack, Big Mac said, "Nnnope. Jack doesn't look like no bad guy 'ta me." Then, he looked at Jack's mechanical leg as he said, "What happened 'ta yer leg there, stranger?" Jack didn't say much as he said, "An accident that all I have to say..." Sweetie Belle shows Applejack what Jack made for her as Applejack and Big Mac reacted with surprise. "Look what Jack made for me!" Sweetie said happily as she showed Applejack and Big Mac the toy Jack made for her, much to their surprise. "Are you are a carpenter?" said Big Mac. Jack reacted when he was a bit nervous except he tries to hide it. "Yes, I am a carpenter," Jack lied. Applejack looked at Jack's cutie mark and Jack tried to lie except she played along with it. As he was a bit embarrassed to have cutie mark like this, but Big Mac used it as an excuse. Applejack said to CMC and Derpy, "You guys get the guest ready for a room while we give him a tour, ok?" "Okay!" The Cutie Mark Crusaders all said in unison. As the Cutie Mark Crusaders left the area and Derpy forgotten to do something as she headed off home, but she will be right back. It left Big Mac, Applejack and Jack alone as they stood there face to face between each other. Jack remained a bit calm except his ears twitches to feel someone was listening from the distance. Applejack knew Twilight and Spike were hidden somewhere to overhear the conversation, but she isn't going to have it. "Big Mac, can you show Jack the house?" said Applejack to Big Mac, "Give him some refreshment..." "Eeyup," Big Mac replied, "Come on, Jack, Ah'll show ya 'de farm." Jack agreed when he followed Big Mac leaving Applejack with Twilight and Spike. As she walked up to them as they were on the apple tree to try to listen to the conversation. Applejack has her own opinions to Twilight's theory as she was aware of Jack being good at heart. "Twi, we need to talk," said Applejack to Twilight as Twilight and Spike reacted. "How did you know that we were here?" said Twilight surprised as she landed on the ground and Spike landed on top of Twilight's back. "I heard you moving around the tree, and whispering to each other, but never mind that! What you are doing spyin' on us and on the new pony?" Applejack asked calmly but seriously, "Listen, I don't know what your problem is, but that pony is good at heart, I can tell! Why can't you?" But Applejack, he..." Twilight tries to reason. Applejack said, “Sugarcube, I'm beginning to think that perhaps, you're letting your logic and suspicion getting the better of you! If you don't stop embarrassing yourself like that, everypony is gonna start seeing you as the villain instead of him." "Not saying he's really a villain, but that's beside the point," Applejack said, "Why don't you just give Jack a chance?" "But he was lyin’ when he said he was a carpenter and when he said his mechanical leg was because of an accident!" Twilight reasoned. "I was able to tell by his nervous attitude and hesitation when you and Big Mac asked him!" Applejack began to ask Twilight if it is because of the cutie mark for some reason. "It's because of his cutie mark for some reason, isn't it?" Applejack asked. Applejack added something else when she learned some ponies don't warm up to anyone yet. It takes time to get to know some pony when the time is right. Twilight nodded when she agreed with the cutie mark except his appearance. Applejack sighed when she told Twilight straight as she was reminded when they judged Zecora. "Twilight, remember back when we all thought Zecora was an evil witch, but in the end she turned out to be a good zebra?" Applejack asked. Applejack added that Apple Bloom has proof them wrong, but it was embarrassing and it was a lesson that they cannot forget. Twilight learned the lesson from the beginning as she sighed as she takes a deep breath.  Spike chuckled when he laughed at the moments except it brings back memories. Twilight gave Spike the look before she looked at Applejack. She was going to say something until it was interrupted by Rainbow Dash. Meanwhile with Big Mac and Jack, they have a peaceful conversation while they eat apple pie. Jack never expected the apple cider was good when he tries it out. Big Mac was able to speak peace to Jack as he sighed. "You were trying to hide what you really are, we could understand that," said Big Mac as he calmed down as Jack flinched. Jack said to Big Mac, "You could understand that I was lying to cover up my occupation..." Big Mac nodded when he understood, but he was reminded of the incident when Applejack and his friends learned to never judge pony lived in Everfree Forest. "What is your real occupation?" Big Mac asked Jack. "You really wanna know?" Jack asked while slightly looking nervous. Big Mac said, "It doesn't matter if you have a bad background or not, but we could tell that you gone through a lot." Big Mac was understandable as Jack was a bit nervous except he sighed. Jack ended up confessing the truth to Big Mac, but he makes sure that none was around to listen. "Are you going to have a different reaction like the others?" said Jack nervously as he was reminded about Twilight and the other ponies reacted when he says "killing". "Ah won't freak out, Ah promise," Big Mac assured him. "All right. I'll tell you." Jack said with a sigh, and then, he explained his background story. To Be Continued… //-------------------------------------------------------// Arc 1: Jack Meets the Mane 6: Chapter 7: Jack Meet the Apple Family II and a SURPRISE PARTY //-------------------------------------------------------// Arc 1: Jack Meets the Mane 6: Chapter 7: Jack Meet the Apple Family II and a SURPRISE PARTY Arc 1: Jack Meets the Mane 6: Chapter 7: Jack Meet the Apple Family II and a SURPRISE PARTY Big Mac listened to every word, not changing his expression or reacting to anything that is considered shocking. He only asked a few questions, to which Jack answered. Jack was surprised that Big Mac understood him very well. He continued to talk to Big Mac as if he was his best friend, but he was calm. He felt the burden was lifted on his back as he enjoyed keeping Big Mac's company. Big Mac commented that Jack was going through a lot of issues, but he gives his own advice. Then Jack flinched to hear something from the distant and Big Mac told him that it was Granny Smith, their grandmother. Big Mac ended up introducing Granny Smith to Jack calmly. Jack said in his mind, "This isn't that bad." "Jack, this is Granny Smith, me, Applejack and Apple Bloom's grandmother," Big Mac said. He then turned to Granny Smith as he said, "Granny, this is the new pony, Jack." Jack was a bit nervous when he felt that Granny Smith has overheard the conversation. He wasn't sure how to react as he was nervous. He keeps himself calm as he drinks the apple cider. "I heard the whole story, Young Pony." Granny Smith said seriously. Jack felt very nervous for a moment, worried that she could be upset with him. But then, the old mare said in a kind tone, "I'm really sorry to hear what you were goin' through, and all those issues you've been dealin' with. It may be killin' people, but if it's still doing what's right for you, then it's okay." Jack reacted with surprise to old mare, "WHAAAAAA?" The others heard him from outside, as they jumped in surprise. Granny Smith will not change what she says as she was calm and kind. Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Twilight, and Spike joined after Jack's reaction. Granny Smith said very calmly, "Like I say it may be killin' people, but if it's still doing what's right for you, then it is okay." Twilight reacted as her jaws dropped down as she looked at them as if she says a "bad" word. It was her opinion and the truth coming from her own heart after hearing Jack's story. "You... you really mean it?" Jack asked in shock. "Of course I do," Granny Smith replied, "Why, if there were any monsters invading and terrorizing Ponyville, we'd be safe with you around." Jack reacted in surprise for what Granny Smith, but she was honest as he smiled in delight. He was thankful that someone understood him very well, but that doesn't mean Twilight trust him. She has a different expression in her opinion, but Jack ended up respecting Granny Smith. Big Mac said to Jack, "If anyone tries to terrorize Ponyville, I will back you up.” "Looks like today's not your lucky day huh Twi?" Rainbow gave Twilight a smug look. Jack said, "Thank you for understanding..." The moment was ruined when Twilight won't admit defeat as she doesn't trust Jack, but she missed about Jack's background. "You actually believe him!" Twilight said to Granny Smith and Big Mac surprise. "Listen Sparkles, I am not in the mood," said Jack to Twilight, "I understood that you don't trust me because of my cutie mark or looks..." "Why, sure we do, Twilight." Granny Smith said, "If he regrets the bad choices he made in the past, he makes up for it by doing whatever is necessary as long as it's the right choice." "I think he has a point, just give it a day or three," said Applejack to Twilight. Rainbow Dash forgotten something as she was reminded Pinkie Pie wanted her to get Jack to come to the Sugarcube Corner. "Oh! I forgot something," Rainbow Dash said. Applejack replied, "Let me guess, Pinkie Pie right?" Rainbow Dash nodded when she grabbed Jack and then they headed straight to the Sugarcube Corner. Jack was screaming in terror as Rainbow Dash was going fast. It took about thirty seconds to get Sweet Apple Acre to Sugarcube Corner. Jack almost gets a heart attack as he was shaking. Rainbow Dash noticed this and chuckled nervously. "Oops guess you didn't use to move at such speeds huh?" she nervously asked. "I'm only used to how fast vehicles can move, but not at THAT speed," Jack replied as he held his heart. Jack said in mind as he takes a deep breath as he was pale as a ghost, "or being sent flying or spending around..." Rainbow Dash said in surprise, "You drove vehicles?" Jack said, "Yes, I do..." Rainbow Dash said, "Where at?” "Manehatten," Jack replied. Jack struggled when his hooves were shaking except he takes it one step at the time. He referred land over air as he struggled when the door was opened and then. "SURPRISE!" Pinkie Pie shows up from the entrance to see Jack passed out on the ground. "Was it too much?" Pinkie Pie asked Rainbow Dash as Rainbow Dash chuckled nervously. "Nah, I'm guessing he's just not used to surprise parties," Rainbow Dash chuckled nervously. "He screamed like a little girl when I carried him while flying," she added. "No, it's your speed!" said Jack regained consciousness, "Wait, what surprise party?" "You got up that fast!" said Rainbow Dash to Jack. "Instinct," said Jack as he takes a deep breath. "Well, anyway, this is your surprise party!" Pinkie said happily. Jack was a bit embarrassed that he screamed like a little girl when fear kicked in. He could imagine a flashback before his eyes as he calmed down. He never has a surprise party before when he looked at Pinkie Pie. To Be Continued. //-------------------------------------------------------// Arc 1: Jack Meet the Mane 6: Chapter 8: Party Poopers? //-------------------------------------------------------// Arc 1: Jack Meet the Mane 6: Chapter 8: Party Poopers? Arc 1: Jack Meet the Mane 6: Chapter 8: Party Poopers? In Sugarcube Corner, there was just about every pony in Ponyville there, Jack noticed Fluttershy, Derpy and a white unicorn with a stylish purple mane, who he hasn't met yet. "So you're the new pony that everyone was talking about?" the white unicorn walked up to Jack in an elegant manner. "Y-Yes..." Jack answered nervously, "And you are...?" "Rarity, or Miss Rarity if you prefer," the white unicorn known as Rarity introduced herself. Jack was reminded when Naomi used the damsel in distress to try to kill him except he remains calm. As he keeps his distance from Rarity as he looked away from Rarity. He didn't want to hurt Rarity, but he has trust issues with women minus three geishas. Jack said, "Nice to meet you..." Rarity looked shocked at Jack's reaction and how he keeps his distance from her, something that rarely happened when she talked with stallions. She looked at Fluttershy. "Is he alright dear?" she asked her. Big Mac joined the party and he said, "He had some trust issues in the past, Miss Rarity..." "Trust issues in the past? What do you mean?" Rarity asked in concern. Big Mac understood what Jack meant when he was remembering the encounter with Naomi that he was supposed to rescue. It was all a show to kill him and set him up for a trap as Big Mac sighed as he explained to Rarity. Some stallions don't like how Jack keeps his distance to Rarity, but Jack has a reason. After hearing the whole thing, Rarity looked horrified and concerned as she said, "Oh, my! I didn't know that he had to go through all that. No wonder why he seems uncomfortable around me." "It's so sad..." Fluttershy agreed, feeling bad for Jack. Big Mac noticed the stallions have given Jack the glare as he sighed. "The other stallions don't seem to understand why Jack acted that way toward Rarity," Fluttershy said, "And instead they all think he's just a rude stallion." "Hey now, I won't have any disagreements in this party!" Pinkie Pie said to the other stallions as she defends Jack, "Especially with our Guest of Honor!" "But didn't you see how he reacted toward Rarity?" one stallion asked. "Talk about rude!" "Yeah, so why are you defending him for that?!" another stallion asked. "You guys just don't know him!" Pinkie said, "So what if he keeps his distance from Rarity, I'm positive he had a good reason! Just ask Big Mac!" The stallions looked at Big Mac, but Big Mac has reasons to keep things to himself. He has a good reason to since the stallions will use it against Jack. Big Mac said to the two stallions, "It is his reason, his reasons alone. He wasn't being rude to Rarity, I will advise you to drop it instead jumping into conclusion..." Next thing, they knew the two stallions ended up leaving the party as they don't like him. Big Mac sighed, but Rarity walked up to Jack. "Jack, Big Mac told me everything about what happened to you," Rarity said seriously with a look of sympathy on her face, "I had no idea how much trouble you had in the past." Jack looked at Rarity and took second thoughts about it; she was very honest and emotional unlike Naomi. He could tell that she understood his situation, but it was rude of him to keep distance. He should never put judgment on anyone as he takes a deep breath and apologize. "Yes. Everything Big Mac said is true," Jack said with a sigh, "Sorry about how I acted." "You have your reasons," said Rarity to Jack as she understood except Jack used eye contact. He tries not to get distracted, but the trust issues are the main factor for him and the others. The Apple Family believed him all the way while the CMC isn't aware of it since he believed they are too young to understand. Fluttershy was the first one to understand him quite well, except he feared Angel since he got the feeling that he will encounter the white bunny again. Twilight, Spike and Applejack soon came to join the party, along with the CMC. Pinkie Pie appears in front of them. "Hey, where have you guys been? The party has already started!" she said, "Come on, we were just about to play 'Pin the Tail on the Pony'!" she says while hopping happily. Spike noticed Jack talking to Rarity while Twilight promised herself not to embarrass herself. Applejack was right, but she needed to give time to win his trust. It wasn't going to be easy for her as she was suspicious since he wasn't around from here. "Hey! What's he doing with my Rarity?!" Spike shouted in jealousy. Twilight couldn't help but chuckle at Spike's reaction when he saw Jack and Rarity talking, knowing how much he loves her. As the party continued on as Jack keeps distance when he watched them. He doesn't enjoy cupcakes, but it sucks that it doesn't have alcohol. He remained calm when he drinks from the distance except he flinches as he saw something from outside. He remained calm as he sighed. Up in the sky, there was what appeared to be a black and white vortex forming, some force turning everything black and white around it. That vortex was bad news as what appeared to be the same thugs from Deathwatch were about to emerge from it. Jack flinched when he felt something familiar as he looked out of the window. He never expected to encounter them again when he rushed out of the Sugarcube Corner. He flinched to see them before him and the thugs have come to cause trouble. He never expected them to come here, but who was behind it? It doesn't matter when Jack unleashed the chainsaw to attack them except it was stopped by Twilight. Jack looked back to see Twilight Sparkles as she used her magic to restrain him. "Let me go," said Jack to Twilight in anger as she wasn't aware of the dangers and he tries to break free from it. "No! I won't let you kill ponies!" Twilight shouted. "Thus it helps you too wondered that they aren't friendly," said Jack to Twilight in anger. It was a harsh misunderstanding for Twilight and Jack as the thug ponies came out from the vortex. They aren't friendly when they are from Jack's world as they are ready to cause trouble. Twilight tries to use her magic to keep Jack contain, but something went wrong when Jack's will power has caused it too shattered. Jack detected dangers around the place as every pony flinched to hear the word "kill". Jack reacted to seeing Granny Smith in the middle of it, but Twilight doesn't understand what's going on with her magic. "I... MUST... HELP THEM!!" Jack shouted as he amazingly broke free from Twilight's magic, much to Twilight's shock. "Impossible! No one breaks my magic!" Twilight thought in shock, "Something must be wrong." Jack sensed danger in the area, and he saw Granny Smith in the middle of it, making him shout, "Oh no, Granny Smith!" Jack recognized the silhouette before her and noticed the huge spiked mace. As Jack recognized the silhouette "Little Eddie" as he have to block the mace from hitting Granny Smith. He countered it with a strong kick sending it back to the stomach. As he protected Granny Smith from harm as everyone wondered what was going on from the outside. "What the (Beep)?!" a thug pony gasped when he saw Jack, "A pony with a chainsaw!?" "(Beep)! It's that psycho-maniac with the chainsaw!" another thug pony recognizes him. Jack Cayman?!" the third thug pony gawked in shock. Meanwhile, Little Eddie recovered and looked up to see Jack defending Granny Smith. Granny Smith was surprised that Jack protects her from harm, but she knew that Jack will protect any pony from harm. "Cayman!" Little Eddie snarled upon seeing Jack, "I've been looking for you!" "I thought I crushed your head to bits with your own weapon!" Jack yelled at him in anger, "Did the Black Baron share his secret for surviving gruesome deaths or something?!" "Enough talk!" Little Eddie snarled, "This time, I'll murdalize you!" "What in Equestria is going on here?" Twilight asked in shock as she ran up to the area Jack is in. But the thug ponies blocked her path, forcing her to stop. Jack yelled with intimidation, "Get out of the way, and get Granny Smith to safety now!" Big Mac witnessed this as he rushed into battle as he rushed into the battle as he attacked the thugs threatening the ponies. CMC, foals, and fillies witnessed what was going on outside from the window. The thug ponies attack Twilight with their weapons, she reacts in shock as she teleported to dodge their attacks. She reappears next to Granny Smith. The thugs surround them both and attack them, except Twilight teleported Granny Smith and her out of there, causing the thug ponies to bump and hurt each other. Twilight and Granny Smith reappear away from the area. "Maybe I should cancel the bet, because I don't think I wanna use all my bits," Twilight remarked, "But that's not the point. The point is, now I know why Jack tends to kill for good!" Twilight was injured except she never felt fear in her life. She was shaking in fear when she teleported back to Sugercube Corner. Fluttershy said to Twilight, "You're hurting..." "It's those big ponies," Twilight explained, "Whoever they are, they did this to me." After going up to Twilight, Rainbow Dash said, "That goes to show you, Twilight. You mustn't judge another pony." Rainbow Dash wanted to help out as she flew out of the Sugarcube Corner when she cannot sit around within the Sugarcube Corner. She wasn't able to finish the sentence as she headed out and Twilight finished Rainbow Dash's line. As she watched she saw more damage and danger around Ponyville. After going up to Twilight, Rainbow Dash said, "That goes to show you, Twilight. You mustn't judge another pony..." "...by its cover, I know." Twilight finished Rainbow's sentence with a sigh before she looked around Ponyville. "I can't believe this is happening. How is it possible that something out of this world could come here and cause destruction and danger?" "Well, whatever, I'm not going to sit back and let some freaks destroy our town and get away with it! Let's go Applejack!" Rainbow Dash said as she flew out of Sugarcube Corner and joins the battle. "Right behind ya, Rainbow Dash," Applejack shouted as she followed her Pegasus friend to fight the thug ponies. Twilight was confused when she looked down in shame as she watched everyone giving it all to take down the thugs. She doesn't understand how could it happen now, but she cannot blame it on Jack except she feels distrust for some reason. She watched him take on Little Eddie in battle as Fluttershy flinched in fear while Granny Smith placed her hoof on Twilight's shoulder. "Dear Twilight, I understand how you feel." Granny Smith said comforting Twilight, "You are still young and there's a lot that you don't know of. It's true that it's important to fight for what you believe in and for what is right, but sometimes, you have to put aside your beliefs, morals and integrity in order to help those in need. Sometimes, you must sacrifice your own needs to help and protect those you care about." "I suppose you're right," Twilight said quietly, “I guess not everything can be solved with logic and reasoning." Twilight didn't say a word when she watched the others fight, but it was very suspicious as she looked at the vortex. She called Spike to write a letter to Princess Celestia as she ended up learning something, but Ponyville needed help immediately. Twilight cannot think of writing the letter when she rushed out of there. The ponies were endangered as she witnessed the chaos. She couldn't think as she rushed out of there as she was determined. Fluttershy couldn't help as Jack taking down Little Eddie except she felt the determination within her. She has done something about it as she rushed out of there to help. The Mayor wondered what was going on when she came out of town hall, except she reacted when the thug ponies were causing chaos. She reacted in shock as she called a statewide emergency. While Jack fought against Little Eddie, Twilight and her friends used their own abilities to bring down the thug ponies. Twilight shoots magic blasts at them, Rainbow Dash, Applejack and Rarity use martial arts, Fluttershy uses strategies to trick the thugs into attacking each other and last Pinkie Pie uses her Party Cannon. Twilight noticed something wrong with her magic as she continued the blast them. Something was wrong when her magic isn't showing any effects on the thugs except she flinched. She flinched to hear a laugh as something was toying with her. Spike aided the battle as he fought alongside with them while the other ponies watched the others. One pony came out one by one from Sugarcube Corner to protect their home and the citizens. "Something seems to be wrong with my magic. It doesn't seem to affect those bullies," Twilight said in concern. Then, she heard a laugh, as if something or someone was toying with her. As she forced to go offensive as she dodged their attacks and countered it. She flinched when she noticed something suspicious about the sky. She should have sworn that it was Discord when she continued to attack the thug ponies. "It has to be Discord doing this!" Twilight thought as she fought the ponies. She couldn't be sure about it when she has to figure out how Discord came out of his stone statue. They continued to fight to defend Ponyville from the threatening. Little did Twilight and her friends knew the Ponyville Citizens joined in the fight to defend their home. They were working together to defend the threat from the thug ponies. Until... bright light shows up from different areas, Twilight and the others reacted when the thug ponies disappeared. The sky returned back to normal, but Twilight was suspicious that it was too fast. She could feel the effect of the vortex, but she will need to do more research. Jack was going to finish off Little Eddie except he missed when his chainsaw slammed on the concrete. "Citizens of Ponyville, your hero has arrived!!!!" To Be Continued… //-------------------------------------------------------// Arc 1: Jack Meet the Mane 6: Chapter 9: What the heck is Blueblood doing in Pony Ville? //-------------------------------------------------------// Arc 1: Jack Meet the Mane 6: Chapter 9: What the heck is Blueblood doing in Pony Ville? Arc 1: Jack Meet the Mane 6: Chapter 9: What the heck is Blueblood doing in Pony Ville? Rarity and Applejack flinched when they recognized the voice from anywhere and their memories bring back to the Gallade. Something was a bit off when everyone reacted when they saw a golden chariot. None knew who is the hero except Jack grumbled under his breath, but who is one who says that? Jack doesn't like people boasting while Twilight wondered where the light was coming from until they saw the chariot landed. "Oh, no!" Rarity groaned out loud in annoyance. Jack struggled to get the chainsaw off of the concrete as the one who came out of the chariot. He revealed to be none other than Prince Blueblood as he used his charms to get the mares to notice him. Some ponies never met Prince Blueblood before when they murmured while the others cheered. Those who knew about Prince Blueblood and some were cheering because everything back to normal. Twilight was a bit suspicious about magic that Prince Blueblood used, but she could something was suspicious going on. "Something isn't right," said Twilight in her mind as she feels the spell was incomplete as she could see the swirl. Prince Blueblood came down from his chariot when his bodyguards rolled the red carpet. Prince Blueblood wears a luxurious blue cape waves with the wind as the ponies bowed down to him. "Oh, no, not him!" Rarity groaned. The ponies saw Rarity's reaction as they give them the look. Prince Blueblood has a disgusting look except he hid it and none wasn't bowing down to him. He hated Twilight and his friends, but he could befriend them to get the information from them to find the "Lost" element. He noticed Jack and was able to remove his chainsaw from the concrete. Prince Blueblood knew what his Aunt Luna was trying to do, but it will not work with him. Jack said as he noticed Prince Blueblood, "Who the hell is he?" Everyone gasped in terror as Jack doesn't know who Prince Blueblood is except for Twilight and his friends. "That's Prince Blueblood, Princess Celestia's nephew, and a rude, conceited, disgusting oaf!" Rarity remarked while glaring at Blueblood. "Hey, don't disrespect Prince Blueblood!" yelled one pony, "He is the royal prince from Cantorlot!" Jack noticed Rarity's expression when he thought she was the type that goes after Prince Charming. She has a different prospective on disliking Prince Blueblood for a good reason. Jack didn't say a word, but he was surprised and it wasn't her alone. Applejack was giving him the glare when she walked up to them as she was reminded that Blueblood disrespected the food. Applejack was giving him the glare when she walked up to them as she was reminded that Blueblood disrespected the food. That she was going to bring to sell to get money to replace the rooftop and the farm equipment, but getting Granny Smith a hip surgery. The mares were bewitched by Prince Blueblood's charming and they gave Rarity the glare. Rarity has been through a lot, but some don't see what Prince Blueblood really is. Some mares insulted Rarity as she gave her the glare before the ponies stood before him. Prince Blueblood walked up them as he chuckled as if it was a joke. "Rude, conceited, disgusting oaf," said Prince Blueblood chuckled, "Oh, you are filled with surprise, Miss Rarity." Jack doesn't like Prince Blueblood by his body language and attitude. He wanted to punch this guy in the face except he held it back because he was Prince. It will be worse that he was going to get the execution while he in this world. Twilight got this feeling when she was suspicious as she walked up to him. She began to wonder what spell he used, but Prince Blueblood ignored her. "You never get a chance to see my charming side," said Prince Blueblood chuckled. Rarity couldn't believe that the mares were falling for Prince Blueblood's charms as she was heading back at her shop. She was dragging Jack along with her, but Twilight was suspicious. "I can't believe this! How could all the girls be falling in love with a buffoon like him?" Rarity grumbled as she headed back to her shop while dragging Jack. Jack wondered why he was dragged for no reasons with the CMC arriving in the area first. "Can you release me, please?" asked Jack. "Sorry, darling," Rarity apologized before she released Jack. Jack sighed in relief to free, but it doesn't mean that he wasn't going to get to use magic. As CMC rushed up to Jack and Rarity, Sweet Belle cannot wait to show her sister a toy that Jack made. "Rarity! Sis! Look at the toy that Mr. Jack made for me!" Sweetie Belle exclaimed happily as she showed it to her. Rarity reacted with surprise to see a toy and examined it. She looked at Jack and then the toy before she gives it back to Rarity. Jack didn't say a word when he looked around the place, but he had issues in the past. He continued to look around the place, but he hasn't warmed up to the others. He looked out of the window and he ended up asking Rarity about what happen. "Sweetie... this is an incredible toy," Rarity said in surprise. "For the first time, I thought you were a lady who goes after for the rich people and royalty, but I thought wrong," Jack said to Rarity. Rarity reacted with surprise when she continued to look Jack as he continued to look out of the window. He was reminded of what Rarity says about Rarity being a fashion designer. Rarity sighed when she doesn't want to think about it except she regretted going to the Grand Galloping Gallade. She thought she and Prince Blueblood were meant to be together except she realized that Prince Blueblood wasn't always charming as he appeared to be. Rarity didn't want to think about it, but it was a living nightmare that she continued to have within her mind. Rarely have learned that ponies aren't meant to by the appearance, but judging them from inside the heart. Jack didn't say a word when he was reminded of what Big Mac, Granny Smith and the others say. The doors were opened as Jack, CMC, and Rarity saw Twilight and the others coming in. Jack could tell by their expression that there aren't pleased and he grumbled under his breath when he heard Prince Blueblood's speech from the outside. "What a show off!" Rainbow Dash yelled in anger, "That Prince refused to stop talking..." "Can't that snob give it a rest?!" Scootaloo shouted. Granny Smith and Big Mac didn't say a word after the Grand Galloping Gala, Applejack told them about the incident. Granny Smith doesn't like Blueblood, but she remained calm except she feels annoyed. Since this is the first time that she met Prince Blueblood, but she does admit her mistake for not believing Applejack. She thought Prince Blueblood was like Princess Celestia and Luna, but she was wrong. Big Mac doesn't like Prince Blueblood because of his superego and he isn't impressed. He finds suspicious going on while Twilight has her own suspicion about the spell and Spike slammed the door closed. Granny Smith has almost forgotten to thank Jack for saving her life when she walked up to her, and the Apple Family cannot thank him enough for his action. Granny Smith made up her own mind to make Jack Cayman part of the Apple Family. "Thanks for savin' me back there, Jack," Granny Smith said, "I never thought I'd be saved by some pony like you. In fact, I decided to make you a part of the Apple Family." Jack flinched when he was nervous about joining the Apple Family, but he already won the Apple Family trust. He doesn't want them to get in danger when things are happening just now. His mind was a bit confusing when he tries to think if he should or not, but Applejack gives him some encouragement. Apple Bloom reacted in surprise as she thinks it was a good idea too. Granny Smith could tell that he was nervous, but she knew his reasoning to refuse. If he refused, the opportunity will remain open for him to start a new life as an Apple Family. The doors will open for him, but she will remain patiently until he decides. Jack reminded of what Granny Smith says as she believed every word of it, and refused to say "no". "Take the opportunity Jack," said Luna's voice within his mind. Twilight believed that it was a bit too early to accept Jack as part of the Apple Family, but she told Rainbow Dash that the bet is off. It doesn't mean that she like the idea of "killing", but she wanted to figure out what's wrong with her magic. She knew that she has to inform Celestia about the issues going on except her mind was distracted. She doesn't know what was going on when she feels something was wrong with the magic that Prince Blueblood used. She was suspicious when it was a projector when she noticed one pony fell down while Prince Blueblood makes a speech. She flinched when she saw the marks on it except something was off about it. "Anyone noticed problem about this?" Twilight asked her friends and Jack. "Yeah, one of the ponies just fell down while Blueblood is doing a speech." Spike said. "Did he get bored from his speech?" said Rainbow Dash, "I would..." "Me too," Scootaloo agreed. Jack didn't say a word when he saw the scars and foot prints leaving the scene. "I don't think so..." Jack said. Jack said, "I have a bad feeling that he isn't falling asleep except the thugs are still active around the place. I don't know what the Prince did, but this spell isn't that powerful." As they raced to see the building gets destroyed except it was replaced, but the pony was dead without a pulse. One pony noticed it and there were more than hoof prints behind. As they saw the pony as they were panicking except the magic replaced it when Blueblood lies to say to keep everyone calm. "Every pony, calm down. There's no need to worry as long as I'm here to help," Blueblood lied. "But he is dead!" said one mare to Blueblood as the guards dragged the "dead" pony away, "Where all the hooves coming from?" "What the, am I seeing this clearly or something is off?" said Applejack to Blueblood. Pinkie Pie reacted in shock except her "Pinkie senses" won't stop since she knew that there was more danger in Ponyville than expected. "Guys! My Pinkie sense is tingling!" Pinkie Pie warned them. "What is it, Pinkie?" Twilight asked a bit urgently. Jack reacted with the WTF moment on what's a Pinkie sense is, but it won't stop until the danger ended. It was only the beginning when Pinkie senses dangers as the thug ponies are invisible due to the issues. Twilight needed to find a spell really fast before the tragic hits again as the ponies reacted in terror. Twilight needed to send a letter to Princess Celestia immediately when she noticed the spell was glitches as it reveal the "real" Ponyville. It wasn’t pretty. "He's using a spell to make everyone thinks that he does a good deed instead danger is still around," said Pinkie as her Pinkie Sense reached to the highest level, "My senses are reaching the..." Pinkie Sense never had been at the highest level as she vibrated around Rarity's shop. She was vibrating so much, she was moving like a jackhammer. Twilight reacted when she was more suspicious about Prince Blueblood, no place isn't safe as every pony departed from the speech to head home. While there are some ponies were suspicious about what's going on and some didn't. Twilight needed to confront Prince Blueblood as she wasn't sure what he was planning. "Blueblood, just what are you up to?!" Twilight wondered in her thoughts, as she was suspicious about him. Meanwhile, not far away from Ponyville, a familiar shadowy figure was watching the events happening there as he smiled sadistically. "Poor naive little ponies, you thought you had seen the last of me, but now I am back and ready to have some serious fun watching you all suffer, just as I have!" he said as he revealed to be none other than Discord. "I Discord, spirit of chaos and disharmony will crush your happy lives and turn them into a living hell!" As Discord laughed sadistically, while the world around was turning black and white and Jack's past enemies invade the whole place. The magic of friendship alone won't be enough to stop them, but what is this "lost" element of harmony? Who is its bearer? And just what is Blueblood's role in all of this? A dark age is coming to Equestria and the only ones who can save it are the bearers of the Elements of Harmony along with a certain pony with a chainsaw coming out of his mechanical leg! Will they succeed? Find out in the next chapter of Madpony End of the Arc 1: Jack Meet Mane 6 //-------------------------------------------------------// Arc 2: Blueblood’s Scheme: Chapter 10: Lost Element’s Origin Part 1 //-------------------------------------------------------// Arc 2: Blueblood’s Scheme: Chapter 10: Lost Element’s Origin Part 1 Arc 2: Blueblood’s Scheme: Chapter 10: Lost Element’s Origin Part 1 Isn’t quite suddenly when the Mane 6 didn’t come to listen to my speech? How disappointing when I heard more support from this apathetic town called Ponyville, but my plan was to convince the Mane 6 that I am on their side. It doesn’t mean it as it's going to be easy after what happened to a charming party turned into hellish one this year. I was a bit disappointing at Aunt for inviting guests aren’t from Canterlot. I held the grudge against them from the beginning, but it seemed my Aunt referred them over me. Especially this commoner who became Celestia’s Star Pupil Twilight Sparkles, but she was favored over me due to her intelligence. She isn’t part of the Royal Family and I deserved that treatment since I am relating her. I could be more powerful than any pony, but I was born as a unicorn and not an alicorn. They are expected to apologize to them for what happened, but I refused. They are still commoners, but they don’t deserve to be famous at all. They are just ignorant fools who needed to learn when to remain in the shadow. I overheard my Aunts having a conversation involving outsider from Equestia and a possibility of relating to a Lost Element known Determination. It was quite disappointing that they talked in secret, but it wasn’t fair that this outsider deserves it. He was just a killer pony, but he was nothing than a commoner. Why would Aunt Luna bring a demon from another world to be here? What’s so great about him when I looked at him for the first time? He has three legs and one mechanical leg with a weapon. Killing isn’t allowed in Equestia, but I am thinking about my schemes to get involved. I was able to come down by using a spell, but it isn’t a spell where I got rid of them. I created an illusion to make them think that I got rid of them, but it doesn’t mean it was going to easy. I was forced to give up my party lifestyle to study, but I forced to improve on my magic. It was too much for me, but I wanted to prove a point to my Aunts that I am not as I appeared to be. It wasn’t quite fair for them to shed the light on me, but it was unsuspecting when I advanced my skills over time. I was reminded when I freed Discord in secret to dish out my revenge against these Mane 6. I knew Aunt Celestia would send a letter to that Star Brat on the adventure. I wanted Ponyville to get this outsider out of their town since he doesn’t belong in this world at all. The plan comes when the time is right and I needed to do something evil on that “sudden” unicorn. I wanted to make sure that their friendship breaks up when they can’t use to the Elements of Harmony anymore, but it doesn’t mean that I am not happy to be in Ponyville. I hated Ponyville so much, but I wanted to wipe it out of existence since I was tired of hearing about the Mane 6. There are disagreements in Ponyville because everyone talked too much about the Elements of Harmony. Canterlot deserved to have the Elements of Harmony, but not these ungraceful ponies living in a lower lifestyle. I couldn’t believe this from the beginning, but Aunt Celestia should have chosen someone more valuable than these ignorance buffoons. They allowed me to stay in one of their hotels except it was high class, but they believed that I was going to do something about the problem. I saw Discord from my reflection, but I have his help on my part when he was the one who helped me with the illusion. “Ready for tomorrow,” he said. “Yes, I am ready to make sure that Mane 6 ended it and send this pony back to where he belonged,” I said to them, “But there was one element that I wanted to talk about?” “I know that you want to talk about,” said Discord with a sadistic chuckled, “To tell you the truth the Elements of Harmony have their own origins back in the day before I rained. When the world was in danger as the Chaos began as the war began, there were six brave ponies sacrificed their lives to bring peace among the land. Star Swirl the Bearded would never realize this, but no-one realized what friendship was all about due to the dark times. I hid the Elements of Harmony to avoid anyone discovering it when I dominated the world with an iron fist.” I ended up learning from the Grandmaster of Evil as I drank my wine, but I figured out on how the Elements of Harmony existed. I discovered that there was more than just 6, but they were scattered and hidden by Discord. There was the dark war before my Aunts too over after the incident when there was a dark time when the war began to see who was the ruler. The six ponies sacrificed their lives, but Discord didn’t tell me how old they were or who they are. He knew them by heart when he was behind the war to make sure that his plan comes in order. It succeeded, but their souls were shielded away from the stone before he dominated them. The origin was unknown involving the Lost Element due to the bad times, but there was a soldier used to serve Discord. A soldier who kept everything in line and gives those below him determination to continue on with their job. When he saw anyone down, but gave a word of encouragement. When things get rough as people looked down with disappointment, but he was there to give anyone encouragement. He was the commander and ordering his soldiers, but he was the best one out of all of them. Even though, he knew what it is wrong and right, but he remained loyal to Discord forever. Discord told me that he feared him since he had the spirit relating to the Elements of Harmony, but he hasn’t been recognized as “The Determination”. He was brave and kind, but Discord referred him as “friend” before he backstabbed him. He brainwashed him to prevent his betrayal, but the two Aunts were able to break the spell from him. He exchanged his thanks by giving my two Aunts encouragement to overthrow Discord. The betrayal would result in death when he was the one who gave them the determination to find the Elements of Harmony. He was one of those Elements as they overthrew Discord and turned into stones, but he didn’t realize that he was going to die. He was dissolved into nothing, but dark parables. He was left behind with the heart as it became the Lost Element of Harmony. Aunt Celestia and Luna tried to save him before he turned into nothing, but he accepted his fate. He was very brave, but Discord hoped that didn’t happen again. He knew where the location of where it is, but he doesn’t trust anyone. He needed to wipe it out of existence before he finds it. He needed someone like me to get back before the Mane 6 discovered the location. There was one question on why this outsider came into Equestia? “What does this have to do the outsider?” “They say that if one came to Equestia to find the Lost Elements will gain power, but ended up balancing the Elements together. I was able to handle to the six elements, but the seven elements will bring more than just the balance.” “So meaning that he was the caused by it?” I said to Discord calmly, but he wasn’t sure and continued on. “His world is emerging with Equestia, but it brings me an opportunity to gain the chaos back in this world. He is the only one who stopped me and prevented the Chaos, but I have an odd reason to be curious about the humans. He has a scarred memory from the past, but there are two versions of him in two dimensions. There is one where he came from that is black and white, but there was one colored. I couldn’t tell you when I enjoyed his world more because of the gore and violence, but there are others like him. I am able to bring someone into the world, but due to your weak spell. I am limited…” I could understand that, but I began to learn my own magic and am not strong enough to give him back his powers. I looked at him when I knew what he was planning to do with this world, but I believed that there was something more than that. We needed to tricked Twilight Sparkles into gaining Discord his power back, but we needed to send this outsider back to where he belonged. I overheard my Aunt informed Celestia that he had a near death experience, but if he comes back. He would be dead in his world and he won’t exist here. “I know, but I think I have an idea,” I said when I rubbed my chin with my hoof. I made sure that none were able to listen to us outside of the room with a soundproof spell. I explained to him about the plans, but he agreed to it. It will take time and patience to convince the outsider into breaking. Discord knew the outsider’s conscious relating to his past, but he could possibly two-in-one. He knew about his weaknesses, but his inner demons. I trusted Discord to deal with the outsider, but I needed time since I heard that the Ponyville is making a party for me saving the world. I watched outside, but I still see them waiting until my signal since I have already teamed up with them. It seemed that they wanted to revenge for Jack, but it does include those were killed by him. I wanted to see if Discord was able to pull it off, but it was time for my beauty sleep as I will wait for tomorrow. I wanted to see if I am able to convince Ponyville to exiled the Mane 6 and the outsider. To Be Continued… //-------------------------------------------------------// Arc 1: Jack meets the Mane 6: Chapter 1: Jack Encountered Fluttershy //-------------------------------------------------------// Arc 1: Jack meets the Mane 6: Chapter 1: Jack Encountered Fluttershy Arc 1: Jack meets the Mane 6: Chapter 1: Jack Encountered Fluttershy Then Jack began to wake up from his dream. He woke up in a new environment as he heard the animals from the outside, but he grumbled under his breath. He noticed the animals look at him with curious, especially white rabbit looking at him. As if it was peering inside Jack's soul as it gives Jack the chills. He looked around the place and he wondered where he was now. He got out of bed, but he never enjoyed animals. It got him a lot creep out around the place, but he thought that he was in Snow White. He said in his mind, "I was in the forest and now I am in Snow's White's home. There are animals around the…” Jack feels like that he was going to be annoyed when the birds landing on top of him, but he feels uncomfortable due to the environment. As the Pegasus came in carrying a tray of tea, all the animals cleared the way for her as she walks up to Jack, "Oh, you're awake; I was starting to become worried about you…” Jack doesn't know how to react as he didn't say a word anything since it appeared to be more girly. He looked around the place, but it makes him feel uncomfortable. He looked around as he wasn't sure what to say. "You were in such a panic state... Zecora and I figured something horrible must have happened to you,” the Pegasus spoke in a concerned tone. "We thought you were being chased by a Manticore or perhaps even a Timberwolf. The Evergreen Forest is a bad place for any pony because of creatures like this. That and because the forest has a mind and magic of its own, it loves to play tricks on any unfortunately pony who gets lost in it.” Jack cursed under his breath that he cannot smoke cigarettes anymore, but he wasn't sure if he should keep the promise. He looked around the place, but he was in the panicked about what was going to happen next. Jack ended up listening in to what the Pegasus says, but he doesn't believe in magic. Who are they called him an unfortunately pony? He never encountered Manicore or Timberwolves before, but he was new in the world like a baby. He tried to think about it, but the forest has a name after all. It was an odd name to call it the Everfree Forest from an odd prospective, but he doesn't have any fear. He was in panic because he used to be a human to pony, and encountered talking animals. He is trying to figure out what Equestia meant if he is in the world. As he remained calm when he closed his eyes and takes a deep breath. He was a talking pony too when he has a headache as it was overloading within his head. The Pegasus looked at Jack as she should be afraid of him except she noticed that Jack has a mechanical leg containing his chainsaw. She didn't say a word, but she remained patient to allow him to keep calm. She feels something frightening within his soul through his eyes, but the white rabbit rushed up to her. The white rabbit tries to get her to notice his shadow of his former self, but the Pegasus didn't notice. As the animals keep their distance from him while the others are curious. "Oh, by the way, my name is Fluttershy, I'm an animal caretaker,” the Pegasus introduced herself. "What's yours?" Jack has to be nice since she and Zecora found him first, but he doesn't know the way to thank her enough. He looked at his jacket hanging from the liner along with his attire. Jack takes a deep breath when he looked at Fluttershy as he wasn't sure if he was going to tell her his name. He was going by the first name, but it was the same introduction that he gave to Gessor and Leo. His mind has his own guilt for what he did to Leo, but he doesn't know why since Leo's father is the reason behind it. Leo was corrupted by his father to do what he wanted him to do. He doesn't know why he was thinking about it all of the sudden except this world made his heart very guilty. His world was black and white, but this world was colored. There was no sadness, anger, hostility, but it was peaceful. It was disturbing within his own mind as he introduced himself, "My name is Jack…” Jack said, "Why am I thinking about the incidents after the Death Watch when I killed that bastard? Why am I being guilty for what I did? It was the bastard's fault, but…” The memories were flowing when he killed Leo, but he was supposed to turn him in. He had a guilty as he flinched as if something wanted to pierce his heart. He doesn't understand, but he blamed it on Noa for this. He was confused on what to say as he was saved by Leo, but his past was going to haunt him. He was talking to himself, but he made Fluttershy nervous. "Um, excuse me for asking...but is something wrong?" Fluttershy asked. "If...you don't mind me asking that is,” she sounded nervous. "There are something that is left unsaid about the past," said Jack to Fluttershy and she reacted as if he got injured in battle. "Oh my, you are hurt! I'll go get the First Aid!" Fluttershy said as she left to get the First Aid. "I'll be right back!" She later came back carrying a First Aid kit; she used the materials in it to treat Jack's injuries. "Hold still please? This might sting..,” she said as she created his injuries. Jack said, "I am not hurt!" "Oh!" Fluttershy exclaimed. "I'm so sorry,” she gave Jack an apologetic look. Jack grumbled under his breath. The only problem is that he cannot resist the face from Fluttershy as he takes the deep breath. The white rabbit doesn't trust him when they settled down for some tea. Jack was able to get to know Fluttershy and the town, but Equestia. Jack asked, "So you are the animal caretaker, right?" "That's right, I love animals,” Fluttershy said. "And all the little critters here are the animals I'm looking after. And if some pony has problems to take off their pets, I am the mare for the job. My friend Rarity usually has problems with her cat, Opulence, so she always comes to me if she is having trouble with her.” "Pardon me for saying this, but that rabbit won't stop glaring at me" Jack said as referring to Angel Bunny. "Oh, don't mind Angel Bunny, he can be quite the grump, but he means well,” Fluttershy said, but Angel didn't trust Jack at all. He continued to glare at him, as if he wanted to beat the crap out of him, making Jack feel even more unnerved. "Well tell him to stop glaring at me, he's creeping me out!" Jack complained. "Oh, why so sorry,” Fluttershy said and turned to Angel, "Angel, could you please leave Mr. Jack alone, he's had a bad day and he needs his rest ok?" Angel refused to as he was even more stubborn than a mule causing Fluttershy to give him the "stare", leaving Angel completely intimidated as he left. "Wow,” Jack was actually impressed. Fluttershy saw Jack impressed on how she keeps the animals tame as it was gifted, but she checked her time. As she reacted that she was late for something, but Jack wondered how she does it. "I'm sorry Mr. Jack, but I have to go,” she said as she was getting ready to leave. "Would you like to come with me? If not, then you can stay here, if that's ok.” Jack said to Fluttershy, "I will like to come you get to know the place.” "Alright, I'll just go prepare a few things before we go,” Fluttershy said as she left a few minutes later, she came back. "I am ready; let's go Mr. Jack,” she said as she opened the door. Jack nodded when he said, "Ok, let's go…” Jack feels like his stomach was turning when he came out and everything was peaceful around here. Jack accompanied Fluttershy on the road, but it was going to be a new opportunity to allow Jack to meet her friends. She knew Jack will love except she looked at him with calm. He could tell that he was still new around the place. "Where did you come from?" Fluttershy said to Jack. Jack answered, “Manhattan?” Fortunately, Fluttershy though he actually meant "Manehatten", the big city of Equestria, and not the Manhattan from the human world where Jack used to live. "Oh, so you are from the big city of Manehatten, interesting!" she said. "Well, you are going to love it here in Ponyville, especially once you meet all of my friends!" Jack said in his mind. "There's a "pony" version of Manhattan here?" he looked confused, except he ends up shrugging it off. "Oh (Beep) it,” he said in his mind. "So who are your friends?" "Well, there's Rarity, as I mentioned earlier,” Fluttershy said. "She is a unicorn who is a fashion designer who is very good at making dresses! The best ones she makes are the ones decorated with jewels, and I mean real-life jewels, not custom-made ones.” "Custom made outfits with real-life jewelry," said Jack in his mind as he was surprised, "Interesting...” Then Fluttershy notices a pink Earth Pony bouncing toward them. "Oh, that's Pinkie Pie, she another one of my friends!" she looks at the pony known as Pinkie. "Pinkie! Hello!" Pinkie Pie stops in front of them. "Hi there Fluttershy! How are you and…” She notices Jack and unleashes a gigantic gasp. Then she runs off somewhere. "Uh...?" Jack looked confused. "Oh doesn’t worry, Pinkie Pie always reacts this way whenever she meets a new pony.” Fluttershy explained know where she was going and what she was up to. "We'll meet her again, I am sure.” Jack said in his mind as he was a bit nervous, "This is creepy!" "What does she do?" Jack said to Fluttershy. "Oh, you'll find out when we meet her again.” Fluttershy didn't want to ruin the surprise, since she knew what Pinkie was up to. Jack nodded when they headed to their location as Jack looked around the place except everyone noticed his mechanical leg. Everyone keeps their distance from him as they watched him. "Where are you heading to?" said Jack curiosity. Fluttershy stopped when they arrived at her destination as Jack bumped into her. When he lost track as he look around. Fluttershy said, "We arrive!" Jack asked, "Where are we?" "Golden Oaks Library, my friend Twilight works and lives here,” Fluttershy explained. Jack looked at the huge tree, but it was surprised that it could also be a library and house too. He thought it was Eco friendly when they went inside before he opened the door. The door swing open and hit him by none other than. Three fillies came out of the library as they were hyper about something when they talked with each other. Fluttershy wondered what they were planning. "Hello? Twilight?" Fluttershy asked as she looked inside. Then a purple unicorn appears walking up to her, followed by a baby purple dragon. "Hello Fluttershy,” she greeted. "Sorry we didn't notice you, mister?" said the orange Pegasus. As the three fillies helped Jack back up on his hooves as they looked at him with curiosity. Jack looked at them for a second, but they looked like little children except he was reminded of his daughter so much. He has a headache when he reminded of the good times that he loved his daughter so much. He reminded of the good and sad times except he had a moment when he was dizzy. "Who's that?" asked the baby dragon who noticed Jack talking with the three fillies. Fluttershy ended up introducing Jack to the baby dragon except she noticed his expression that he doesn't trust him. The baby dragon noticed the mechanical leg that Jack has as he felt uncomfortable as he watched him talk to the fillies. "This is Jack, Spike. Zecora and I found him in the Everfree Forest," Fluttershy introduced Jack to the baby dragon. Twilight reacted with surprise when she wondered how to get the pony got to the Evergreen Forest. It doesn't add up when she looked at him, but it wasn't his mechanical leg and it was Jack himself. Twilight was very suspicious when she took one good look at him as she looked back at Fluttershy. "No way! How did he get into the Everfree Forest?" Twilight asked in shock. "I don't know, Zecora and I simply found him in a clearing, screaming out loud," Fluttershy explained, "We thought he was being chased by a Manticore or a Timberwolf, or some other dangerous creature, but we didn't see anything, just Mr. Jack, all shaken in fear and panic.” Twilight said within her mind, "That something doesn't add up about him... It gives a bad karma in my opinion as if he has done something bad in the past. I needed the warn others, but now... Spike and I will have to keep a closer eye on him…” To Be Continued…
