My life is not normal, and it wasn't from the very beginning.
My name is Johnny Blaze. Well my name was. I go bye the name of Overrated Sanity, or my nickname Ossie. This is my story.
Johnny wakes up with a jolt and and gets ready which doesn't take so long because all he needs to put on a necklace. He go’s to the shops in the city as hes walking through the town, he sees a blue unicorn following him.
He sees her behind a horn polish stand but he just shrugs it off. He walks to his friends place to play pony cart 8 as he gets to the house he hears hardy cries of chear he walkins in and see LoveBeat a purple pegasus and Rainbow Dash. Love just boomb her with a blue shell to win the race, Rainbow Dash is in shock
“What I lost no way...I lost to a filly”
Love beat is laughing hysterical on the ground
“Hahaah pay up! It’s 250 bits Rainbow.”
She extends her hoof for the money rainbow dash sits there in defeat and pays up Johnny is just sitting laughing along with Love.
“Hey kid I have a beat with you double or nothing”
He gives hyer a sly smile love things about it
“Naaa i don't think so…..”
“Well ok…....Chickin”
LoveBeat looks at him
“Fine you are on bring it”
Johnny smile’s and looks at her
“Haha one race. Rainbow Road. Mirror mode. Think you can handle it, kid?”
She look’s at him
“Your on...lets race!!!!”
After winning the race with none stop blue shells and normal shells LoveBeat sits there in defeat and in confusion
“B-but how...That's impossible! How did you get all those shells…. and how are you so luky!?!
“Dont worry kid you can keep your bits, I just wanted a good race”
LoveBeat looks at him in confusion
“Really you don't mind, I mean you won fairly”
Johnny laugh’s
“No I didn't. I cheated all the way thro the race, there's now way I could have gotten all of those shells”
She looks at him madly
“Son of a… what the buck… Hey, can you give me those codes”
She gives him a sly smile
“Ya here you go kid but be careful, the code’s may give your system a virus….so ya”
She takes the flash drive and leaves the house as she leaves thro the door she sees bye to every pony and leaves.
“Soooo now what….”
Every body shrugs one of his friends look at him
“Can you go and get us some more candy nachos”
He looks at them
“Really Candy? Nachos? Fine, anything else you what ya jack assis”
They shake their heads as he walks out and heads to sugarcube corner. He notice someone following him.He looks back and sees a pony in a black hooded cloak looking at him and runs off to the everfree forest.
“what the buck who was that….humm… i need to follow her”
he runys off after her into the everfree forest, deep in the woods her sees her in a clearing
“oi why were you following me and who are you”
she doesn't answer and just stands there not moving
“Oi i'm talking to you why are you following me! ya crazy mare!”
She still doesn't say anything and Johnny he tears her around it was nothing but cloak with sticks holding it up he was ambushed by the mystery pony she holds a sword to his throat
“What the buck are you and what's your name!”
“M-my names Jo-Johnny Blaze and…..”
She pushes the blade deeper to his throat
"Lier, now tell me what you are, faker"
"I-I told you, I'm-"
She turns the blade and nicks John's leg
"Stop with the bullshit and tell me what you're up to"
She jabs the blade hard into johnny's throat. A little drop of blood drips from the blade.
"Hurry up, I won't wait forever"
Johnny smiles
"Then let's speed things up a bit"
Johnny spins around and kicks her in the chest. She flies back and hits with a jolt. Her cape comes off, and it's the first time Johnny gets a good look at her
She was a blue pony with longish Sea-green hair. Her teal eye is badly scarred and her horn was practically gone. How she was able to do magic was beyond logic.
The mare gets up and stares at Johnny. She grabs the sword from the ground.
" Now you've done it."
She rushes at Johnny with the sword in her mouth and her two daggers at her side. She throws them directly at him, but he deflects them with his magic. He grabbed one of the daggers and attempted to block the sword, but misses and she cut his leg. Johnny spins and clutches his arm.
"Ouch, that stings!"
He gets up just in time to dodge another attack from the mare. She doubled back and stares at him again.
"I didn't expect you to last this long. You're stronger than I thought."
He gives her a stare and backs up as she rushes towards him, she swings low with the dagger and the sword cuts his thigh
“Ahh buck! What the hell, you crazy mare?! Why do you want to kill me!?!”
He swings back with the dagger. aiming for her leg, but only manages to cut her necklace. Her sword and dagger falls to the ground
“Celestia damn it,now you done it,now you are going to die!!!!!”
She runs up to him and bucks him to a nearby tree then throws the sword and dagger to his head. He slides down the tree and lies limp there. She walks away like a badass in victory
“Dont buck with me faker.”
As she reaches the edge of the clearing, she see a bright light coming from Johnny. She turns around and looks at him in confusion
“Wh-what the buck is going on?!?”
She sees Johnny slowly getting up laughing
“hahaahahh what the buck is going on ahaha!”
she stumbles back in fear
“WHAT ARE YOU?!?”
“what do you mean? what up with you,you just tried to kill me you crazy mear!?!”
she looks at him in shock and stubbles with her words
“bu-but i-i did kill y-you, you-your neck…. or d-did I?”
He looks at her than at himself and notices that he is glowing with a bloody dagger and sword on the ground. She walks towards him slowly
“What. The buck. Are you?”
She reaches for her weapons and puts them back in their sheath and slowly backs away from Johnny.
“what did you do to me ya crazy mear”
she pulls back out her dagger and bears it in his head and just leaves it
“ooo now your bucking dead... Now stay dead!”
He falls limp on the tree and nothing is happening and he stays that way. She gets some vines and ties him up like a dog
“Now what to do with you... I can't just drag you into town….hum...Magic!
She goes and finds her necklace and cast a invisibility spell on him.
“Ok, now i can drag him along with me”
She drags him all the way to ponyville’s local forchen teller Ruby Teller, a white pegasus with purplish hair and red braids. She bashis the door down and goes in and drags her out
“Come on out! I need your help, Ruby.!”
Ruby Teller kicks and screams
“Nooooo! I still hate you!! Ghost Shadow!!!”
Ghost and Ruby have a really difficult history. Ghost has a difficult history with every pony.
“Can you just help me with this guy please, there is something very wrong with him.”
Ruby looks at her, then at him, then cocks her head
“Well ya, he's dead”
Ghost looks at her
“No, not really…. It’s complicated”
She pulls out the dagger and with a sharp inhale of air he came back to life. Ruby yelps in shock.
“Buck!!! Do you know HOW much that hurts to have a dagger in your skull”
Ruby and Ghost looks at him, Ruby stumbles on her words
“What the buck….What is he….I-I thought he was... Dead!”
Ghost looks at her and says
“Thats what i thought too, but clearly he isn't”
Ruby ties him up to a tree
“Ok…. I’ll try to do my thing… But it will cost you, big time.”
Ghost hands her over a handfull of bits
“This enough? It’s all i have.”
“Fine. Well, here goes nothing!”
Ruby drinks a red eliser and tries to read his strings of fate. her eyes glow white and she touches heads with Johnny’s. She sees that his string was all tangled up in knots, which was not possible for ponies.
“What the….nope..!”
She walks back into the hut and yells from within
“Nnnooopppeee!!!!!”
Ghost stars at Johnny
“Stay here I’ll be back”
“Like I’m goin anywhear… Ghost”
As she goes into the hut, there is a loud crash. Johnny and everypony else can hear crashing and slamming form inside
“Sorry every pony... Lesbieans cupol fighting, just keep on walking”
Every pony keeps on walking and just ignore them. After 15 long minutes, Ruby and Ghost walk out brused and bleeding. Ruby looks at Ghost
“You owe me 5,000 bits for a new crystal ball ya crazy mear”
Ghost rolls her eyes. Johnny giggles.
“Fine but tell me what's wrong with him... And why can't he die?”
She takes another elixir from her house, this one blue. She shakes it and tells Johnny to drink it. She also takes a sip and looks deep into his eyes. She focueses, then tilts her head to the side
“What the...Something is blocking my view. Its like there's a door in the way.”
Ghost rolls her eyes again
“Then knock the door down, like what I did you yours”
Ruby grunts in disapproval.
“It’s not a physical door... its more like a…. a mental door, ya bucking idiot”
After some time she finally gets it open
“Ok I’m in. Now lets see what’s behind this door…”
Ruby stops taking for a while then suddenly gasps and mumbled some words. She pulls away from johnny with a jolt.
“Aha...So thats what you were hiding...Dear Celestia, I'm very sorry”
She gives Johnny a hug and turns to Ghost
“He has many secrets, most of them he doesn’t even know. But from what I got, I think I know what happened… For the most part”
Ghost shakes her and excitement
“Well? I love secrets tell me tell me what is it?!?”
Ruby shoves her off and proceeds to tell her
“Well for starters, after an accident that should have killed him, his mom cast an Alicorn spell that blew up the hospital and killed her but kept him from ever dying”
‘Well that explains it…. So that-”
“But that’s not the best part Ghost. After that, he choose a new name after the death of his mom and has hidden it from every pony...Even himself.”
Ghost eyes widened in excitement. She starts bouncing like a filly.
“Tell me!! What’s his name, what is it!?!”
Johnny's begins to shiver
“N-n-no... Please don't, it has to remain a secret… I-I don’t-”
Ghost looks at him in suspension
“Well, if you are not a threat to us then let her say it. Ruby. What is his name”
Johnny looks terrified
“Please, Ruby…. Please.”
Ruby looks at Johnny, then back to Ghost
“Sorry kid, she’s the one paying me. The name he has chosen to be reborn as was Overrated Sanity!”
At that moment, there was a giant flash of light and a gust of wind that push back Ruby and Ghost. When the light went away, Johnny sits there looking completely different.
Befor Johnny was a fiery red stallion with a mane of orange and yellow, and his eyes were a light red. He had a cutie mark of a wheel on fire. But after the flash went away, his coat turned a dark blue, his eyes were a blood red, and his mane and tail were an inky black. Now his cutie mark was a yellow crazy looking mask with neon green eyes
‘Dear Celestia, what the buck happened to me…?”
Ruby and Ghost just stare at him. Ghost stumbles with her words
“w-what the buck h-happened to you… Ru-Ruby, w-what did yo-you do”
Ruby looks shocked
“Well don’t look at me, this was YOUR bright idea.”
He looks at them in confusion
“What do you mean... And why do i feel like blowing up something..”
He looks at his hooves, noticing the change.
“Well thats….New”
He examins his body and notices the new cutie mark
“Wait, I also have a new cutie mark? So what do I looks like”
Ruby grabs a mirror from her shop. Ghost quietly sneaks away.
“Well…. I'm gona go…. you can deal with him..”
Ghost tries to run, but ruby trips her with her yarn.
“Nope! You started this, you have to deal with him now”
“But-”
she walks back inside her hut and slams her door
“Nope, you deal with him!!”
Ghost looks at Johnny. he’s still tie up by now he's acting kinda crazy hes dancing in place.
“What the…..Nevermind. Soo, where do you live overrated.. ya know what your name is a bit too long do you have a nickname!?”
He thinks for a bit
“Am...na i dont”
Ghost face-hoofs
“Fine, I’m just gonna call you…..sanityyy na how about…..Crazy Pony..”
He stops to look at her
“Really dude really no just no
She rolls her eyes
“Fine... I’ll think of something…. where the buck to you live anyway?”
He thinks about it
“I don't really remember…. my mine is kinda blank”
Ghost looks at him in frustration
“Ok...I guess you can stay with me for now but the Second you remember where you live you leave ok?!?”
He smiles and nods and tries to get up
“I Pinkie Pie Promise… Um, can you cut me loose”
She grunts and cuts him free and starts to head to her house. It’s night and everybody is inside except for the ponies who like to party. Johnny is bouncing all around as he and Ghost walks to her house.
“Can you calm the buck down your acting like filly on a sugar high! And you're attracting attention.”
Jonny still bounces
“naa i'm good so are we there yet?”
“No. I live on the other side of ponyville”
Johnny stops and walks normally
“Well, where exactly do you live?”
“Right near twilight's library, wh-?”
Johnny grabs her and teleports to her place. Ghost screams.
“ What the buck was that for?!”
Johnny grins.
“What im a unicorn. I can teleport…. and you may want to sit down”
She looks at him and starts to ask why, then fill a rush of exhaustion flush over her. She falls to the ground
“What the... What's wrong with me? What did you do?!”
Johnny sits in front of her
“Well, I’m guessing that you haven't teleported for a long time, what with that horn of yours. So your body is not use to it.”
Ghost attempts to get up, but passes out instead. Johnny elevates her and cares her inside her house.
Part 2: Cracks of Insanity
The next day she wakes up to a smell of something burning
“What the buck is that…”
She gets up and walked to the kitchen to see Johnny on the stove making pancakes. What’s left of the kitchen is covered in batter and burnt marks cover the walls, not to mention the giant gaping hole in the kitchen wall
Ghost trips out and screams at him.
“What the BUCK did you DO to my KITCHEN?!?!”
Johnny flinches and ends up throwing a pancak to her face
“Oh… Ummm… Hey, well, I-I tried to make pancakes but I kinda had an accident…. I use to be really good at this but….well you can see what happened. Things went.... Boom”
Ghost throws the pancake to the side and screamed at the top of her lungs
“Im going to bucking kill you!!!”
Johnny flinches and runs out of the hole, then he comes back
“Wait a minute... you can't kill me, so come at me Blue!”
She looks at him
“What did you…. GGGRRRAAAHHH!!!”
She throws the dagger at his head and he falls back. As he falls back, the dagger falls out.
“Damn you Blue, do you know how much that hurts”
He gets back up and grabbed the dagger and looks at her with a wicked crazy grin.
“Now then, YOUR TURN!!!!”
Ghost eyes widened in panic
“Nononono, I-I can die, Shit! Dont throw it….Eeak!”
He throws it and it speeds through her broken horn and gets impaled in the wall
Ghost stairs at him in shock.
“Are you BUCKING crazy!?!”
His eyes are sparking with wild blue arcs of electricity, and he looks like hes gone completely crazy
“Why yes.”
Ghost bucks him to a wall and pins him down
“Okay… Calm the buck down your freaking me out”
His eyes go back to normal
“What?... Ghost, let me down, what the buck?!?”
She looks at him
“Are you calm now... I-if you say yes, I-I’ll let you go, ok”
Johnny is fidgeting
“Yes...no..maybe….I don’t bucking know!”
She lets him go and steps back, holding the dagger.
“What just happened.. Why did you just go crazy”
He looks at her in confusion
“I really dont know what your talking about?”
She turns and leaves in frustration
“Nope! I didn’t sign up for this!”
“O come on! It wasn't that bad... What did I do?"
"You tried to KILL me! Just because daggers don't kill you, doesn't mean they don't kill other normal ponies!"
Johnny rolls his eyes
“O stop being a little filly! I wouldn’t do that ya craz.”
Ghost slaps johnnie
“I’m crazy?! Yes, yes you did!”
Johnny falls to the ground
“I did? But... I don't remember that…….sorry”
Ghost helps him up and they hear a nose for the open fridge door
“Who the buck-?”
It was Ruby.
“Hey was up, I kinda let myself in. Soo… whats up with the gaping hole?”
Ghost points at johnny and raises an eyebrow
“Ask him he can tell you.”
Ruby looks at him
“Ok so what happened overrated san- god that name is really long! How about... Ossie instead and what happened?”
“ Well I don't really remember... I kinda black out for a bit”
Ruby looks at him and at Ghost
“Hum…….I have to go bye
As she passed by she whispers something to Ghost. She nods her head and follows. Johnny is left in the house alone.
“What the buck? Where’re you two going, what’s wro-?!?
Ghost slams the door in his face. After 2 house past she comes back in
“Well, I’m going to my room.”
“But it’s 2:0-”
She heads to her room and says nothing else after that. In the middle of the night she hears a pound at the door
“Hold on i'm coming i'm coming dear god who can that be this late”
She opens the door and sees ruby standing there
“Uggg… What the buck do you want. It's 3 o'clock in the morning”
She gives Ghost the puppy eyes
“Can I play with Ossie’s strings Pwease?”
Ghost stairs at her and roles her eyes.
“Fine, But you can't mess with mine and don't make too much noise. People need sleep, ya know!”
Ruby squeaks in glee and runs inside to his room
“Finally time to have some fun”
She touches her head to his and she his in him destany scape she looks around
“Wow its darker than before... hum…...Holy Celestia!!”
She’s facing his string of fate, but they’re tangled up worse then she has ever seen.
“Damn, this is going to take all night”
Half way through untangling the first set of strings, everything starts to fade away
“What the buck... what's happening?”
She opens her eyes and see Ossie awake
“What the buck are you doing Ruby?”
She panics and bereas her dagger in his head
“Damn it!...Ok, lets start again”
She goes back into his destiny scape, but his string are even more tangled up then befor, and the one string she did untangle its worse than rest of them
“What the….O come on! How the buck did this happen! Gurrragh”
The string fade away...
And she sees Ossie awake again. She tries to stab him again, but his stops her.
“Hahaah what the buck do you think you're doing?”
He flips her on the bed and pins her down. Ruby tries to to wiggle out, but he’s too strong for her
“Os-ossie? Wha-what are you doing? Let me go!”
Ossie grabs her dagger into his mouth and puts it to her neck
“Do you what to know how it feels to die little girl? If not, well Sucks for You!!”
She yells out for Ghost, and a split second later she burst into the room with a baseball bat. She sees Ossie with the dagger at Ruby’s throat and swings the bat at his head. He slams against the wall and shakes it off. Ruby runs over to Ghost, screaming at him.
“Ossie! Snap out of it! Ghost, what the HELL is wrong with him?!”
Ghost stands in front of her, ready to swing at any moment.
“I-i don’t know! It’s like before, h-he’s gone crazy”
Ossie gets up smiling.
“Hahaha That was fun. Your turn, Blue!”
He starts to run towards them with the dagger, Ghost about to bash his head in with the bat, but stops abruptly. He dropped the knife looks around confused and dazed.
“Am… Why are you two in my room and why is my head killing me? Ouwww...”
Ruby looks as if she’s about to pass out from shock. Ghost glairs at Johnny, clearly pissed.
“You, sir, are Insane! This is the second time you tried to kill one of us!”
Ossie has a blank look on his face and starts shaking
“What! Really...God damn I-I'm slipping w-what's happening to me?”
Ruby calms down enough to try and explain
“Well, just a guess…. Your new self “Overrated Sanity” is taking over your mind but your old self “Johny Blaze” is trying to hold on but he’s slipping and soon will be nothing more than a old memory in the back of your mind. That’s why you can’t remember… but I’m still trying to figure out what triggers the switches.”
Johnny walks out of his room and to a mirror
“I-I don't r-recognize the face I see in the mirror anymore. Who the buck is he!!!!!!”
He smash the mirror with his hoof and collapses into tears
Ruby and Ghost slowly walk up to him. Ruby puts a hoof on him and stumbles with her words
“J-johnny a-are you still with us….?
Ossie slowly tries to get up and turns around towards them
“Y-ya I’m fine, I just need to chill….”
Ruby and Ghost leave him in the room, closing the door behind them
“If you need us just call ok?”
The door locks. From inside the room, they hear a muffled reply.
“Ya ya just go please. I need some time alone”
Part 3: A New.... "Friend"
Ruby and Ghost leave him in the room. After a day of Ossie’s confinement and not saying a word to anypony, Ghost gets tired of it and knocks on the door.
“Ossie, are you in there? We really need to talk”
She hears him from inside.
“Go away Ghost, I’m fine”
Ghost rolls her eyes and tries the door knob, but its locked.
“Ossie you have to let me in, its been a whole day”
“So what, I’m fine just go”
Ghost is slowly getting pisst
“No you're not fine, just let me in”
Ossie is also getting pisst
“No! Just bucking go!”
Ghost gets fed up and bucks down the door. He’s sitting on the bed going through her books
“We are going out now!!!”
She elevates him by the tail and drags him out. Ossie tries to get out of it but he can't, so he instead levitate her and flips her over himself, slammin her into the table.
“Did you forget in a unicorn too, or did you just have a derp moment? hummm?”
She looks at him upside down and smiles
“Well someone’s feeling better...You okay now?”
He rolls his eyes and helps her up
“O shut up. Fine, let’s go to Sugarcube Corner, I need a cupcake.”
Ossie trots out the house and Ghost follows. It’s been two days since the first day of his “new” life so evey pony in ponyville was still shock to see him. Ossie could hear them whispering about him and giving him uneasy glances. They arrived at Sugarcube Corner and went up to the front counter. Pinky Pie was running the shop today.
“Hi, um.., two cupcakes please”
Pinky smiles
“Oky Doky Loky”
She turns around and heads towards the kitchen and comes back with two rainbow cupcakes.
‘Here ya go mister….Huuaaha!!!”
Pinky begins to speak faster and faster
“I haven't seen you are you new I havent seen you in town and I know EVERY pony in town so you must be new ooooo i gotta go, Bye Mister!!!”
Pinky runs out and leaves the cupcakes on the counter. Ossie and Ghost looked confuzzled.
“Well that was…...interesting…”
Ossis grabs the cupcakes
“Yea…. Well, lets eat.”
Just as they’re about to eat, they hear fighting outside.
“No!!!! I am the better fortune teller than you, ya bucking iddiot !”
Ghost looks around and sees Ruby on stage yelling at some yellow pony with a black eye patch, cane and top hat. Ghost and Ossie run to her and hop on stage. Ghost shoves the two apart
“Wo wo wo. Ruby, who’s he, what's going on, what’s wrong?”
The other pony speaks up
“My name is Bi-”
Ghost shoves her hoof in his face.
“Shut up, I’m not speaking to you. Ruby, explain.”
Ruby glairs at the yellow pony
“This idiot thinks he’s a better teller than I, which is imposibal! The guy is nuts!”
Ghost looks at him, then back to Ruby
“You know what you need?”
ruby cocks her head
“What”
ghost takers her hoof and bobs her on the head
“You need to stop acting like a little filly. Who cares about him Ruby?!”
Ruby shakes her head and shoves Ghost
“Really Ghost, that was not necessary and it does matter because I am better and everypony knows it!”
Ghost rolls her eyes and the other pony buts in
“Am…. Ya hi remember me? Hello again, I’m Bill Cipher, and yes, Ruby Teller, I am better”
He looks at Ossie and ghost with a grin.
Ruby stairs at him
“Prove it then.”
He walks slowly towards them
“Very well then. Who’s first…?” He points his cane “Overrated Sanity, formally Johnny Blaze. One of Equestria’s finest stunt devils, till you got in an accident. Love the “new” you better though, a lot more crazy. I’m gonna enjoy having fun with you.”
Ossie ignores him, but still looks a bit worried. Bill smiles and looks back at the others
“Ok, Who’s next… Ruby J. Teller you got your powers at the age of 5, able to interact with people’s fate. Very nice, hmm ”
Ruby stairs in shock.
“What... How did you do…. How the buck do you know that?”
Bill smiles and turns to Ghost. She stares back at him
“Now Ghost Shadow, a sad tale. Your parents were killed by Shadow Ponies when you were young, and you brother was wounded in battle. You joined the army and rose up in ranks to pay for his medical treatment. It would have worked, if not for Ossie’s mot-”
Ghost pulls her sword and holds it at her neck
“Continue and ill cut off you hea- What... What did you say about Ossie?”
bill smiles and laughs
“Aha sorry kid. You’ll kill me if I continue talki-"
She pushes it deeper
“Tell me or i will kill you!”
Bill grins and goes through the sword.
“Fine, fine. The stallion over there was at the hospital when you lost your horn, and your brother. His mother was the one responsible for the accident. Shall I continue?”
They look at him and speak in unison
“Yes!!!!”
At that point Bills body glows and the world turned gray and all of time stops
“Hahahaah! Very well, but it will come at a cost”
Bill looks completely different. He's now a triangle with a top hat and black cane. Ghost grabs for her sword, but it has disappeared along with her daggers. She turns to him
“What the buck are you”
Bill floats back down to the ground
“I am being of pure energy”
The trio backs up a bit. Ruby is the first to step foward.
“I don’t care who or what you are, come and face me ya freak!”
Bill speeds to her face
“Ok faced to face hahaha”
