Sombra Vs. Jason
Lighting Never Strikes Twice
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"Jason..."
Apple Bloom looked over her friends corpse on a stone bed. His arms were laid on his stomach in a peaceful position, meaning to signify he was at peace finally. Apple Bloom however, didn't want him to be gone. Not just yet. She barely knew him but pretty much everything about him. It was like they knew each other since childhood. It was odd to say the least. None the less, Apple Bloom sat on the edge of the stone bed, nearly sitting on the wolf mans boot. Her look was full of depression and agony. She forgot how long she had been sitting there, minutes, hours, she didn't know. The filly was token out if her trance as she felt a hand to her shoulder. Apple Bloom wiped her eyes and looked behind her to see her sister looking at her. She smiled down at Apple Bloom the best she could.
"Apple Bloom...the princess is asking for every ponies attention."
The filly nodded and turned her body around to see the princess Celestia, Luna, Cadence, and Twilight in a line and looking at the rest of the main six and crusaders. Celestia spoke up first.
"As you all know my little ponies, Sombra has returned." she said.
Every one looked at each other with worried expressions. Luna spoke next.
"And it seems our only way to be rid of him was Sir Jason." she said with a guilty look.
Everyone looked at the dead wolf man on the bed. Apple Bloom snapped back to the princesses, rubbing her shoulders with discomfort. Sweetie Belle was hugged by her sister Rarity, and Scootaloo clenched her fists. Cadence was next to speak.
"I...would like to apologize for this act. I didn't not know Jason was acting against Sombra. If I had knew that, I would have simply injured him."
Apple Bloom wanted to shout at the princess. She wanted to spout everything she was keeping inside herself right now. The feeling was unbearable. Apple Jack shacked her sister and was back to reality. Finally, Twilight was the last one to speak.
"We think Sombra is planning to attack the Crystal Empire."
Everyone gasped and Twilight continued.
"From what we gathered, Sombra was trying to recruit Jason to help him but it didn't work somehow. We figured something went wrong during his attempt to take control of him."
Scootaloo raised her hand and Celestia pointed to her.
"How do we bring Jason back then? Its obvious he's the only one that can really hurt Sombra without the Crystal Heart so how do we win?"
That was the question that stumped the princesses. Death couldn't be reversed, not even for Jason. What Scootaloo said was true however. Jason was powerful enough to destroyed Sombra but he was no longer alive so it was almost impossible to do so now. At least, not with the Crystal Heart intact. If it was used to distinguish Sombra again, it would be destroyed. The princesses couldn't risk that even if Sombra returned again. Which he would. It was obvious what needed to be done.
"We will need to...resurrect him." Celestia said.
Every one gasped, including the other princesses. It was something she hoped would never have to do. It was the last resort it seemed. Twilight stepped into Celestia's sight. A frantic look on her face.
"Princess! We don't even know if that's possible!"
A small eerie voice then came from behind the princess. Chills running up their spines.
"I know what you can do!"
Every pony screamed and turned to see a white, earth pony filly. Holding a bear in her arms and with a red bow in her hair. Apple Jack shacked her head frantically as her jaw dropped. She looked exactly like Apple Bloom, but with different features. Her eyes were crimson red and her hair was jet black. Her white fur was already established but the stuffed bear in her hands was something Apple Jack couldn't understand. She looked like just the same age as Apple Bloom so why did she still need a stuffed bear? Celestia kneeled down to the and gave her best motherly tone.
"Hello there little one. Did you hear everything we have said?"
The filly nodded with a wide grin on her face. She then walked over to the stone bed where Jason's body was placed. She climbed the stone bed until she was sitting next to the body. Everyone watched as the filly looked down apon Jason. Everyone in the room then heard her leaned in to Jason's mask.
"Its been a long time Jason. How've you been?"
It was like the filly was talking to Jason like they knew each other. Twilight stepped forward.
"How do you know him?"
The little girl turned toward the group, her smile not fading.
"Me and Jason have been friends since we were babies." she said.
Jaws hit the floor like sandbags and the filly giggled into her bear. An idea then struck Celestia's mind.
"If...that's the case. How are you here? Were you sucked through as well?"
The filly laughed and shacked her head. Confusion swirled in everyone's mind.
"How are you here then?" Rainbow Dash asks.
Her smile faded the minute she was asked that. It was replaced with a look of pure sadness. The feeling in the room was turned into one of pure depression and the temperature dropped violently. Celestia herself was shivering from the cold.
"It...was the day Jason drowned." she said.
The room went silent and sock was on everyone's faces.
"I went to Ms. Voorhees cabin to see if she was alright, but...she didn't answer. I opened the door to see...blood."
She gripped her bear tighter and fear was heard with in her voice.
"She had a knife in her hand and...people were...shredded and...dead."
Soft sobs could be heard from the filly as she started to shudder. Any heat in the room had vanished and was replaced with pure cold and the feeling in the room was sad, and fearful. The filly continued.
"She looked at me...and gave me the most evilest smile I've ever seen. What she did next..."
Twilight stepped in before she knew what she was doing.
"You don't need to finish!"
The filly looked up at Twilight but her eyes were changed. Her entire eyes were blood with pitch black dots for pupils. Everyone froze. Red streams of liquid moved down from the fillies eyes. She was crying blood. She stopped Twilight.
"Please...let me finish. " she said.
Twilight didn't know what else to do. Afraid she would upset the other worldly filly, she stepped back.
"Ms. Voorhees...cut me. Right in my belly. I didn't know what else happened after that. All I remember was waking up on Jason's bed and following him through out his life and now to here."
The room fell silent again. Some of the ponies were trying not to burst into tears apon hearing the story. Even some of the princesses were trying not to loose themselves. The thought of a an adult killing a child who was friends of their own son was...disturbing. Filly wiped away her tears and looked up at the ponies in front of her. Her sadness had disappeared and was replaced with her cheerful smile from before. The feeling in the room had gone back to normal, same with the temperature. A mood swing probably. Luna then stepped forward the filly and kneeled to her height. Her own loving smile on her face.
"Forgive our manners little one. What is your name?"
The filly giggled.
"Layla."
Luna giggled and her smile grew larger.
"That is a lovely name. Now then Layla, how do we bring Jason back?"
The filly giggled again and looked at Jason's mask. She then looked back at Luna.
"Have you ever heard the term lighting never strikes twice?"
