The Heroes of Equestria

Jon was back to speaking with the heart in the cave filled with lava. He couldn’t take any more of the heat surrounding his body.

“You don’t remember?” The voice asked.

“Remember what?” Jon questioned, wiping a large portion of sweat off his face. He failed, considering his hands were also covered in sweat.

Nothing answered him.

Looking down at his hands, he saw they were vanishing into the air like dust.

“You will do what I command, or you will be perished.”

Jon shot up out of the sleeping bag he was sleeping in a few seconds ago. A cold sweat covered his face and he wiped it off almost instantly. He stood up out of the tent to see Applejack was still sleeping in hers. Rainbow Dash was releasing a light snore up on the branch of the tree above his tent.

He approached the dimly lit campfire and sat in front of it staring in the flames. The more he thought of why he was sent here, the sicker he felt. He heard Applejack slowly coming out of her tent and stretch.

She saw him sitting at the fire which would go out in about a minute or two. Approaching him quietly, she placed a hoof on his shoulder. He looked over to her with a wan expression. She gave a look of concern.

“Somethin’ wrong sugacube?” She asked, taking a seat next to him.

Jon wanted to tell her about why he was sent here but he considered the consequences. He would’ve lost what little trust he already collected from them. “It’s… nothing.” He answered in a quiet voice, staring back at the remains of the camp fire that just went out.

“Ya sure ‘bout that?” She asked again.

She knew something was up. She wouldn’t let it slide. Jon let out a sigh of sorrow and looked at her.

The moon emanated across the land, provided a very dim light.

Applejack could see his eyes were apologizing to her. The blue color in his eyes that the moon made glow a little impressed her... made her care for him.

Jon wrapped his arms around her, feeling her warmth. Applejack loved the gentle feeling of his arms holding her. It was very comforting to both of them.

“I was sent here to destroy Equestria…” He whispered into her ear.

She released the hug and looked at him face to face. “Seriously?”

“I was sent here to kill some leader of this world. I never volunteered for this job. You gotta believe me Applejack. I would never do anything to harm any of you. I won’t do what I was told. I never even planned on it. Please… believe me.” He closed his eyes and a single tear rolled down his cheek, splattering on the dirt that was between him and the orange coated mare.

Applejack felt sorry for him and pulled him closer to her. “Hey, c’mon now.” She said in a quiet voice. “It’s alright. I believe ya.”

Jon stuffed his face into her soft, warm coat and listened to her heartbeat. She got caught by surprise at first, and then allowed it, releasing a small chuckle in the process.

“Thank you Applejack.” He said in a slight sob.

“Ah don’t mention it sugacube.”

Within a few minutes, he fell asleep in her arms. She slowly moved her hind hooves out from under him and got herself situated. Within several minutes, they fell asleep in each other’s arms, hearing his heart give gentle beats as each second passed by.

Hours later, the sun started rising in the horizon. Applejack yawned, seeing Jon’s arms around her afterward. She moved them gently, got up and walked over to a tree, facing away from it once she arrived to her destination. Raising her back hoof, she bucked the trunk of the tree once to hear three apples fall down. She grabbed the apples by the stems with her teeth and set them down beside Jon, who was just starting to wake up.

“Mornin’.” She said with a smile. “Gotcha breakfast.” She pointed her hoof at the three apples and he grabbed one, wiping the dirt off of it with his shirt and taking a bite afterward.

“Thank you, Applejack.” He said with a smile across his face.

“No problem.” She said, grabbing one of the apples and eating it.

They ate their breakfast in silence for several minutes. By the time they were both done, Rainbow Dash flew down from the tree, landing in front of them afterward. “What’s up?” She asked.

“Nothin’, Rainbow. I got ya some breakfast.” She pointed her hoof at the apple that sat in front of them.

Rainbow Dash grabbed one of the apples with her mouth and sat on the other side of Jon. As she munched on the fruit, Applejack and Jon continued having their conversation.

“So, I have to stay here until Twilight figures out what to do?”

“Guess so.” Applejack answered. “Don’t worry none ‘bout it. I reckon she’ll figure somethin’ out soon enough.”

Minutes passed and Jon saw Twilight trotting to the camp site. “Everypony!” She yelled, getting their attention. She stopped at the burnt out camp fire. “I have a plan.”

“Well how ‘bout that? We were just talkin’ ‘bout ya.” Applejack stated with a smile.

“Well, what is it?” Rainbow Dash asked, tossing the core of the apple on the dirt.

Twilight looked at her for a few seconds, and then looked at Jon. “Rainbow Dash knows about Jon?”

“Uh, yeah.” Applejack replied. “Rainbow didn’t seem very friendly for her first time seein’ a human.”

Rainbow Dash started moving her hoof in a circular rotation in the dirt, looking down with a sorry look on her face.

“Well, I think I found a way to get it so ponies won’t be scared of you. But… I’ll have to change you.”

“Change me?” Jon asked. “What do you mean?”

“I have a spell that can change you into something that I see in my head. Like a pony. I can transform you but I won’t do it if you don’t want me to.”

Jon thought to himself for a few minutes. “Alright, change me.”

“You should honestly consider thinking about it.” Twilight advised. “If I mess up, the results could be catastrophic.”

“Do it. Change me.” Jon replied, not thinking for a second.

“Alright.” She said, closing her eyes. The purple light appeared from Twilight’s horn and Jon. He felt himself changing. A ball of light started consuming his body. Within seconds, he vanished behind the light, blinding the three mares. The light vanished and Twilight looked back at where Jon stood.

“Oh uh…” Twilight started blushing. “I didn’t think this would happen in the spell.” She started laughing a little in embarrassment.

The other two mares looked over at Jon with a shocked expression on their face. Applejack let out a small giggle.

Jon looked down to see he was naked, but his body was completely different. His legs were now hooves. He looked behind him to see he was half horse, half human… he was a centaur.

“Oh hell no.” He said. “Get me out of this form.” He started pacing back and forth, panicking. He looked under him to see he had a horse cock down below at the rear.

The three mares blushed and tried not to focus on it.

“Hey Twi.” Applejack whispered. Twilight looked at her. “He seems a bit happy.” Applejack started chuckling and pointed at Jon’s joystick.

Twilight noticed he was getting hard as Jon stared at her.

“Twilight!” He yelled. “My eyes are up here! Get me out of this thing!”

“You seem kind of happy to see me.” She said, looking back up at his face with a smile.

“What do you expect? I’M A CENTAUR! I’M HAVING NAUGHTY HORSE THOUGHTS NOW DAMNIT!”

“What’s a Centaur?”

Rainbow Dash and Applejack were still staring down at his erect cock. They didn’t seem to care what a centaur was.

“It’s half horse, half human. Look, just get me out of this thing, please!?”

“Alright, just stand still.” She said, taking a quick glance back down at his erect manhood… or colthood for a brief second.

Jon did as he was told and stood still. Within a few seconds a large ball of light consumed him again, blinding the three ponies as done previously. The light disappeared to reveal Jon back as a normal human, except he had no clothes.

He looked down to see his manhood and looked back up with a disappointed sigh. “Where are my clothes?”

“They must have vanished when I performed the spell the first time.” Twilight said with a blush on her face.

The three of them looked down at his cock again for a few seconds, still blushing. “Can we… play with it?” Asked Rainbow Dash.

“What? No!” He yelled.

She groaned in disappointment.

“Is it possible that I can get new clothes?” He asked in a more calm voice.

“I don’t think so… unless we brought him to Rarity’s place.” Twilight said, looking at her friends afterward. “Should we?”

“I reckon we should.” Applejack responded.

“Eh… I like the way he is.” Rainbow Dash said, smiling brightly.

“Alright then… three votes go against one. We’re getting you dressed.” Twilight looked back at Jon. “We’ll need to hide you in something that nopony will notice you in.” Twilight turned to look at Applejack. “I need you to go get a large basket and fill it full of clothes.”

“Sure thing.” The orange coated mare replied. “Rainbow, if you could come with me, that’d help.”

“Alright… fine.” The cyan coated pegasi said in a sad voice.

“Why can’t I wear the clothes in the basket?”

“Because you’re not a pony.” Twilight reminded him.

“Oh… yeah… duh.”

Applejack and Rainbow Dash trotted away; leaving Twilight and Jon alone at the camp site. Twilight turned to look at Jon, finally ignoring his manhood.

“Sorry about Rainbow Dash trying to get onto you. It is mating season however…” She stated. “Do you remember anything else since last time I talked to you?”

Jon was afraid to say what he remembered. But since he told Applejack about it and she continued to trust him, he hoped it would go the same way the second time. “Promise not to hurt me.” He said, trying not to look at her.

“Uh, alright.”

“The thing that sent me here… sent me here to kill a leader of this place and probably every other pony that exists.”

Twilight looked really serious now. She pushed him backward, having him fall down. She got on top of him and looked directly into his eyes. “You better be joking.” An electric hum appeared and her horn lit up. The sound was starting to get louder as each second passed by.

“I’m not joking! But I’m not doing what I was told to do either. I won’t do it!”

Her magic discharged and she looked at him, still looking quite angry. Her horn lit up a second time and he felt his mind being read. She was looking through the memory of him talking to the heart.

“Please get off of me.” He struggled to get up but couldn’t move.

Twilight seemed to be calming down but remained on top of him.

Rainbow Dash and Applejack were coming back with the basket and saw Twilight above him.  Rainbow Dash’s jaw dropped. “Well would ya look at that.” Applejack said. “We’re gone five minutes and they’re already havin’ sex.”

Twilight looked at her friends then back at him and realized what it must have looked like in their perspective. She got off of him and looked back at her friends. “It’s not what it looks like.” The light from her horn faded.

“Then what does it look like?” Rainbow Dash asked.

“He told me why he is here.”

“Oh nelly…” Applejack whispered.

“He doesn’t remember anything, remember?” Rainbow stated, looking at Applejack in confusion  afterward.

“Yeah he does.” Twilight looked at Jon.

“Twi.” Applejack dropped the large basket and approached her. “He told me ‘bout why he was sent here last night and I reckon he truly means no harm.” She looked at him. “He’s very sweet once ya get to know him.”

“I know. I read his thoughts just now. I saw you cuddling with him. I also saw him talking to the creature that forced him here. He refused to do the job even when he was threatened.”

Rainbow Dash just stood there in complete confusion. “What job?” She asked, raising a brow.

“He was sent here to kill the princesses in Equestria… including me.”

“Is this true, Jon?” Rainbow Dash asked.

“Well… yes. But I mean no harm.”

“If ya feel like your ‘bout to be an outcast…” Applejack started to say, lending him a hoof to get up once she was close enough to do so. “Just know I ain’t gonna abandon ya.”

“Neither will I.” Twilight said. “Sorry I attacked you. I just needed to find out answers.”

“Seriously?” Rainbow Dash asked. “He was sent here to kill you Twilight and you just trust him?”

“I truly believe he has good in him. A part of me believes he won’t try and do what he was told to by this unknown power-craving freak. We all have to trust him. Plus, I read his mind.”

“Alright, fine.” Rainbow Dash said.

“As Twilight may know,” Jon started to talk. “The creature that sent me here told me that if I didn’t do what I was told, he’d kill me and do the job himself.”

“What could we do about it?” Rainbow Dash asked.

“Doesn’t Equestria have any type of weapons?” Jon asked, worried the answer would be no.

“We have magic, and Celestia’s royal army would defend the land with their life.” Twilight stated.

“Let’s hope it’s enough to stop what’s coming.” Jon said. “Can I please get to Rarity’s place? If I’m going to fight at your side, I’d like to not be naked.”

“Right.” Twilight responded “Get in the basket and we’ll carry you to Rarity’s.”

Jon did as Twilight told him and buried himself in the clothes inside.
