Unlikely hero

It had been several days since Jason arrived at the safe house with Snow, the stallions were over to moon to see him and asked him how he escaped, which he explained then showed them the tape of what he did to Blueblood which made them furious but also amused, while Jason wasn't there, the stallions managed to find a few room that were sealed in a time bubble, apparently anything inside the bubble didn't age even though time went as normal, the decided to wait for Jason before entering. Mac had discovered the channelling book and wanted to give it a try, and to everyones surprise it worked as apparently it took more effort for the first mana absorption due to his natural magic, but after it was done, he could use Channeling magic so Jason begun to teach the rest of them.

"Hey Jase, why are you learning this anyway?" Asked Sourin.

"Simple, it makes the playing field even when I fight to protect Equis" he said.

"Hey, why don't we help seeing that this is our world too." Thunder said.

"You could die" Jason warned.

"So could you" Comet added.

"Okay fine, but let's go explore those time rooms" he said standing and heading to the rooms with his friends, upon arriving, they discovered the rooms were an Armoury and a Library "definitely keeping Twilight away from here" he muttered as he left to go to his room as his back was playing up, he soon arrived to find Snow sleeping on the large bed naked which caused him to shake his head before removed his shirt and grabbing his bag, he then retrieved some Morphine patches and placed one on his back before he laid on the cool bed and sighed, it was roughly 3 days till the heat was over and to be honest, Jason wasn't looking forward to it as It meant he had to build an extension for his house, and also deal with Christmas, "wait do ponies celebrate Christmas?" He thought out loud as he looked at the ceiling. "I don't know," he sighed as he closed his eyes to relax before drifting off to sleep. The next couple of days were quite while Jason taught his friends channeling magic. They soon got the hang of it quickly and agreed to keeping it a secret In order to protect themselves, but soon the time came for them to head home when Timmy arrived with his blue box in a Hawaiian top. The group packed up and left, Jason managed to grab a sword before going so he could practise.

(1 hour later)

"Last Stop, the Winter Residence" stated Time Turner as Jason nodded and unloaded with Snow before Timmy vanished. Jason stretched before he started taking his bike and other things to his garage before entering the house and collapsing in his own bed alone, he didn't care that it was 12 in the afternoon, he was in pain and tired.

A knocking was heard from the door as Jason groaned. "Yea?" He asked.

"Hey I'm may I come in.... If that's okay?" A timid voice asked.

"Of course Shy" he said as she entered the room quietly and approached him, she soon stopped when she saw the large stitches wound in his back, causing her to whimper and place a soft hand on his back. "Sorry I forgot to cover it back up" he said as she smiled softly.

"It's okay, you were doing a mare's job anyway" she said as he cocked an eyebrow.

"Oh yea the Gender reversal" he sighed. "So what brings you here my dear?" He asked as she blushed.

"Um I would like to spend some time with you and also for you to meet my mother" she said as she laid next to him in her yellow lantern hoodie only.

"Did you come in only that?" He asked looking at her a she blushed.

"No I removed my pants when I entered" she said as he smiled.

"Will she reject a non pony?" He asked.

"Who?" Shy asked.

"Your mother? Will she reject me?" He asked.

"Oh I don't think so, I have told her that you are a human and about you protecting me and your mares" she said as Jason smiled softly.

"I see, so when is the meeting?" He asked.

"Well.... You see" she was saying as Jason felt someone sit on his other side. "She came in with me" she said as Jason groaned and buried his face into his pillow.

"Shy I literally just got back and I'm really sore" he said as she wrapped her arms around him gently.

"I know but please" she begged which made him sigh and nod before turn to look at the other mare, he raised an eyebrow at the tall toned cream Pegasus mare, she had a hot pink mane and tail, she wore a dark red top and a blue skirt, her actual curves could rival Moon along with her height.

"Wait why did you take of your pants?" Asked Jason as he looked at the blushing Fluttershy.

"Um well you see.... Um my mum is really.... Um after my dad passed and I was.... You know" she was trying to say before blushing as Jason sat up with a winch and sat against his bed frame.

"Two things, one she's your mum and two, my back isn't in any condition for sexy time" he said as she shook her head.

"No that's not what I meant.. I.... Mother can you explain?" She asked her mum.

"Of course deary, as you know I am single due to my husband passing a few years ago, and when Fluttershy was talking about you, I wanted to meet you and then I had a crazy idea, hear me out. I barely see my little girl seeing she lives in Ponyville and I live in Cloudsdale so I was wondering if it would be alright if you could build me a house in Ponyville." She asked confusing the hell out of Jason.

"What does that have to do with being single or being half naked?" He asked.

"Well Shy thought that you would need persuading so she stripped down I her underwear but she put her hoodie back on, and my husband never wanted to leave Cloudsdale so when he passed I didn't know if I should leave or not" she explained as Jason nodded "oh and my name is Firefly" she said shaking his hand.

"Nice to meet you, just get approvals from Mayor Mare and what not then come back to see me" he said as she nodded before they both said their goodbyes and left. Jason sighed and got up before turning on his Air conditioning as his back felt like it was on fire, to say he was annoyed that he had to build a house now was a understatement but if it helped make Shy's mother like him, then it was sacrifice he would make. As he laid down on his chest and relaxed as he room became colder but he was soon disturbed again when he heard the door open.

"There ya are Jason, ah need to talk to ya" a familiar country accent asked.

"AJ what do you need to talk about?" He asked her with a groan.

"Ah was wondering if ya would be interested in coming to a Sleep over at Twilight's?" She asked him as he sighed.

"Sure, why not, when is it?" He asked.

"In 40 minutes" she said as he groaned and pulled himself from the bed and looked at her as she gave him a sheepish smile. "It would mean a lot if ya came" she said as he sighed and grabbed some clothes before entering his bathroom to wash himself, after he was done and dressed he grabbed a empty back pack and put a few things in it. "Oh and it's drinking allowed" she said as she walked with him into his kitchen.

"Oh hello Jason, how are you feeling" Moon asked as she sat at the kitchen table.

"Sore" he said simply as he grabbed a bottle of dark liquor.

"Should you be drinking on painkillers?" She asked.

"Nope but I ran out three days ago" he said as Moon winched.

"Ow, sorry to hear that, where are you two off to?" She asked.

"AJ wants me to go to a sleep over so I am going to save arguing" he said as he grabbed a large bag of skittles with a smirk on his face before giving Moon a kiss on her cheek. "I'll be back tomorrow to spend time with you, okay?" He asked as she nodded before he went to his room and grabbed his phone before switching off his Air conditioner in his room and exited the house with AJ only to encounter Diamond and Pinchy laughing together as they approached the house.

"Hey Jason" Pinchy said smiling as she hugged him. "Thank you for helping with my dad" she said as Diamond hugged him also.

"Thanks for saving me from Blue Blood" she said as he hugged them both.

"It's cool, it's what I do" he said smiling at them as they entered the house and AJ and Jason were off. As they walked AJ talked about heat season and how the group didn't find a stallion. "Sorry about that, if I wasn't injured or what not, I may have stayed" he said.

"Yea most of the group wanted it to be ya anyway" she added.

"Let me guess, cause of my stamina?" He asked as she shook her head.

"No cause most if not all have a thing for ya" she said before stopping.

"Most if not all? Does that include you?" He asked as she gave a sheepish smile.

"Ummm hey look we're here" she said before entering with the human as he shook his head. She smiled before she gestured him to sit down, which he did while she went upstairs to change, only Twilight was there as she sat in a light purple pj top and pants. She gave a kind smile as she sat next to Jason .

"Hey how I your back?" She asked as he removed his shirt which caused her to flinch. "I see" she said as he leant his bare back against the couch. Twilight stated at him for a bit before blushing as a knock came from the door, breaking her chain of thought. "I'll get that " she said as she got up and opened the door to find The rest of the mares, including Trixie, Lyra, Octavia, Bon Bon and Vinyl enter.

"Where I Sunset?" He asked as Fluttershy sat next to him and nuzzle her Coltfriend.

"She is upstairs getting ready" Twilight said as the mares headed upstairs. "Shy don't you want to go get changed?" Twilight asked.

"I....i Usually don't where anything to bed" she said before burying her blushing face into Jason's neck.

"I see, well I guess seeing AJ brought some Cider, would either of you like some?" Twilight asked as Fluttershy nodded with her face still in Jason's neck. "And you Jason?" She asked.

"Nah I've got painkillers" he said confusing her as he pulled out the bottle of straight spirits.

"What's that" Dash asked as she floated over to sit on Jason's other side, much to Twilight's annoyance of loosing her spot.

"This is Johnny Walker Black label Scotch Whiskey" he said as he opened it and instantly the two mares moved their heads back from the smell.

"Wow, may I?" Asked Dash as he gave it to her, she took a swig and almost spat it out before swallowing it and handing the bottle back. "Ahh buck it tastes weird and it burns" she whimpered as Jason simply swigged it like it was nothing. "How?" She asked.

"I'm use to it" he said as Fluttershy took the bottle and sipped it before returning the bottle.

"It does taste funny but I like it" she said smiling softly before burying her face in his neck again.

He smiled as he put an arm around her which made her squeak. Jason and dash continued to share the scotch as the mares came down in their pjs, some left some buttons undone to reveal cleavage as they all sat in a circle with drinks. "I still can't believe you managed to outrun Spitfire, Rainbow Dash and half a dozen elite Wonderbolts" Sunset said as the mares agreed with him.

"My bike is modified to go fast" he said.

"That were noise maker was a cruel trick" Dash said with a huff, "I wanted to win and catch you" she groaned as Jason chuckled.

"Better luck next time Dash" he said as she smirked.

"Oh next time I will catch you" she said as he chuckled.

The night went on about them all talking about the last two weeks, how AJ and Dash competed in some contest and then in a Running of the Leaves, which they both ended up coming last at, they also talked about what they thought about Blue's punishment from Jason which they all but Rarity found funny. After a hour of talking, Twilight decided it was time to play Spin the bottle with Jason's now empty Scotch bottle. "Okay I'll go first" Pinkie said as she spun it and it landed on herself causing her to giggle and kiss her hand, the gave went on with the mares kissing each other save for Twilight, when I was Shy's turn, she sun the bottle and it landed on Sunset who cocked an eyebrow before Shy liked lips with her.

"Think Shy has had a bit" Jason chuckled as the two made out. "Um it's my turn anyway" he said spinning it an it landed on Dash.

Dash smiled before turning and kissing him deeply, she gently pushed him down into the empty space of the couch and probbed his lips with her tongue, which he nipped her tongue with his teeth, causing her to yelp and move her head away and look at him with a sheepish smile.

"Think that's enough for tonight and I should head home" he said as they groaned.

"But why?" Asked Lyra.

"Well my back still hurts, and it's pressing against something" he said sitting up to show he was laying on a book. "Also I have to head to the hospital tomorrow to get a check up" he said before standing as Dash looked upset. "It's not cause you kissed me, it was nice, just I shouldn't have come out tonight" he said as she still frowned until he handed her the bag of Skittles. "See ya Skittles" he said as she smiled before he left.

When he was half way home, he stopped and looked up at the sky, which was when he noticed it was raining which made him groan before spinning and walking off in a random direction, he didn't want to make Dash upset, but he didn't want to expand his herd, the number of mares that he was with already was doing a number on his mind as he was trying to remember every detail they told him and it was driving him mad. 'How do stallions do this?' He thought as he soon reached left the town and continued walking until he reached a hill, in which he sat under the single tree on it and looked at Ponyville as he thought about everything.

'All this shit, overlords, the forces of evil, mares it's just too much' he sighed 'and to top off everything, there isn't really a point of settling down with them as I'll be dead way before they are' he thought as he leant against the tree. " I need some help" he said out loud before he opened his bag and pulled out his phone and checked the time, it was 8 o'clock at night, but he simply looked a the photo of his three siblings and sighed. "Never gonna see them again" he said as he gently hit his head against the tree. "I really wish Dash and Shy didn't drink all my grog" he groaned.

"Well look on the good side, at least you have people to look out for you and have fun with, they many be Horse people but they are loving people" said a voice that caused Jason to jump and look to find a hooded figure standing to his left.

"Who are you?" He asked as he stood up.

"Well my name is Adrian Storm" he said crossing his arms and cocking his head.

"But your dead" Jason said.

"That I am, being impaled hurts like hell I should add." He said rubbing his chest.

"But how are you here?" Jason asked.

"Simple, my Brother delivered the soul stone to you which had my soul in it, it was a back up in case I died, and I must say, I never expected you to wield dark magic, well actually I guess I should have seeing your grandfather on your mother's side wielded dark magic like a boss" he chuckled.

"Are you going to tell me my Mother's name?" Jason asked.

"Crystal" Adrian said as he leant against the tree.

"I had a girlfriend named Crystal once" Jason said as Adrian chuckled. "So am I the only one that can see you?" Jason asked.

"Yep, and before you ask, I can block out you having sex, " he said as Jason blushed.

"I never thought of that" Jason groaned before he sighed and looked at the town. "So why reveal yourself now?" Jason asked.

"Because you needed to talk and also that I have to mention that you need to get presents for your friends and family" he said.

"Right anything else I need to know?" Jason asked.

"Yes, the overlords will attack in December" Adrian said.

"Why do you say that?" Asked Jason.

"Well with Hearth's Warming, and a lot of your friends an herd would leave for family so you will be alone" Adrian said. "But I shall teach you" He said.

"Yay I got three months until I have to fight Overlords again" he said sarcastically.
