Unlikely hero

Recap

Over the next month, Jason has been training with Adrian being his teacher, who has mostly been teaching him magic and how to use weapons. Jason also managed to finish Trixie's caravan which then she was up and gone with in a week's time.he also had to spend a fair bit of time in the hospital to have his back fixed up fully, but after that he was able to move around, when this world's version of Nightmare Night came around, Both Luna and Moon didn't want to participate so Jason grabbed some Horror movies and spent the night with them.

End of Recap

Jason was panting as he was bent over slightly and held his knees, sweat trailed down his face as he looked at the crystal Dummy construct, which was straying in front of him a sword pointing to him, Jason had been training with Adrian for the last two hours straight at the Citadel. Jason straightened up and launched forward and slammed the Lance in his hands into the Head of the construct, destroying it before he had a quick look around the courtyard. The small courtyard filled with colourful flora and shattered crystals, Jason walked over and sat under a tree to relax but was soon interrupted when a pink Alicorn landed in the courtyard panting heavily, her dress was damaged. "Cadence? What are you doing here?" Jason said going over to her and kneeling.

"I needed to find you..... my Aunties are in Danger" she said panting slightly.

"How so?" Jason asked.

"A tall armoured creature entered the throne room with dozens of Ponies..... when I last saw Aunt Tia, she was fighting with her guards in the Dining hall." She said.

"Why come to me instead of getting more guard?" He asked.

"I did but I thought you could help as you have experienced fighting Overlords"
She said as she sat up.

"Overlords? " he asked.

"Yes Tia said that's what was leading them" she said as Jason nodded.

"Okay well I'll need to grab some gear, can you teleport us when I get back?" He asked and she nodded before he headed to the armoury. When he was in there Adrian reappeared. "How do you Recommend I handle this?" Jason asked.

"Hmmm if they are attacking Canterlot against Four Alicorns and hundreds of Guards with Ponies then they probably have 2 or 3 Overlords there instead of 1, 1 is probably running as interference against assisting guard, 1 probably is using magic to boost their Ponies strength and the Last is probably heavily armoured so I recommend using a mix of plate and leather" he said as Jason nodded before removing his top before pulling on a leather vest followed by a Steel chest plate, he turned to catch a plate Pauldron which had layered plate down to his elbow, along with a small circle of steel at the top to protect against getting impaled in his shoulder. He looked at Adrian who tapped his left shoulder before Jason nodded and strapped it to his left arm before grabbing a less bulking that he attached to his right along with a thick leather vambraces to his wrists, he then grabbed a mixture of plate and leather armour for legs before returning to Adrian. "It''ll do, now you need a shield, and your choice of weapons" he said as Jason nodded before grabbing a kite Shield that was 4 foot tall and 2 foot wide with a large Dragon crest on it, he also grabbed two broadswords and strapped each to his waist before attaching a pair of daggers to the other side as he grabbed a pole Sword.

"Okay I'm ready" he said before grabbing a helmet and left the Armoury to return to the Courtyard. When he returned he found Cadence sitting under the tree more relaxed then before until she saw Jason before getting to her feet and walking over to him. "I'm ready" he said slipping on his helmet.

"Damn, okay sure give me a second" she said before taking a deep breath and teleported them. When they appeared, Jason had to pull Cadence out of the way as a bladed Whip slashed the spot where she was.

"Hide at Twilight's" he ordered as she teleported before he looked at the tall, lanky creature, that sat crouched up on the wall of a bakery. It was equipped with a trident and whip. It's armour resembled that of a Gladiator with its armoured right arm, bare chest, leathery skirt, a skull helmet and shin guards. It's skin was black and warped which made Jason feel sick at the sight before he noticed the dead or heavily wounded guards around him.

"Ahhh you must be the human" it said before dropping down, landing on a Guard who was crawling away, crushing his head. "Do you like what I have done with the place?" It asked with a sadistic laugh.

"Why are you even doing this?" Jason asked.

"Because it is fun to cull the inferior" it chuckled " but where are my manners, my name is Yen'Sic and I shall kill you for killing my Brother" it growled before using its whip to try and disarm Jason, but he sidestepped and thrusters his pole arm forward, which Yen dropped his whip and took a few steps backwards.

Before Yen could react, Jason charged forward and slammed his Shield into the Overlord, causing him to stumble before thrusting his weapon again and slashing Yen's thigh as he rolled out of the way before kicking Jason in the chest and he slid backwards but Jason lunged forward and drove his pole arm into the Overlord's shoulder and used it to pick him up and throw him onto the stairs that lead up to the palace. Yen groaned as Jason drew a dagger and threw it into Yen's back causing him to grunt before he used his trident as a club and knocked Jason back and tried to impale him to the ground but Jason simply rolled out of the way after slashing Yen's bare chest before climbing to his feet.

"I should probably get this along, I know I won't win against you shall wound you so you won't agains my brothers" he chuckled before grabbing one of the swords from the ground and charged as Jason raised his Shield, only for Yen to batter it out of the way and plunge his trident into Jason's right leg, piercing the leather while slashing Jason's left arm with the sword causing Jason to grunt in pain before driving his weapon into Yen's faceplate, peircing it causing him to fall to the ground dead moments before dark Tendrils exited his body and penetrated Jason's chest making him grunt in pain before it subsided.

"Crazy Fucker, 'oh I'm gonna kill you oh wait no I'll wound you so my brothers will kill you' like make up your mind" Jason said shaking his head before attempting to pull the pole Sword from the Overlord until he discovered it was stuck "awww come on" he groaned before giving up. He then looked at the corpses and wounded "I should do the right thing.... but it's gonna hurt a lot..... but it's the right thing" he debated before sighing, he slung his Shield on to his back before his hands began to glow a white colour, the guards began to glow the same colour as their wounds began to heal before one by one they gasped as they were revived before Jason fell to his knees, his arms hurt immensely as if someone was constantly stabbing them, his head pulsed painfully and blood dripped from his mouth and nose with dripped from the visor of his helmet.

"What happened?" Asked a guard.

"I don't know, I remember having my throat slit then blackness" another said.

"He used magic to revive us" said a guard as Jason looked up to see the guards looking at him.

"How do you know not was him?" Asked a female guard as the guard in purple trimmed armour helped Jason to his feet.

"Because I arrived just as the fight began and saw the fight" he said smiling.

"Hey Shining" Jason said removing his bloodied helmet and wiped it clean before wiping his nose and mouth.

"Hey Jason, thanks for saving Cadence, and for resurrecting my guards" he said as Jason shrugged before putting his helmet back on.

"No worries" he said turning and heading up the stairs to the entrance of the Castle.

"Hey wait for us to get ready" said Shining.

"No, come in after my signal, I need to make their Soldiers weaker" Jason said.

"Whats your signal?" Shining asked as Jason hand glowed and the lanterns by the entrance ignited "I see, good luck" he said.

"Thanks" he said before heading up the stairs, trying not to limp from his wound 'i hope luck is enough' he thought before entering. Jason looked around the halls, not encountering anything but could hear fighting in the distance. "Where is that son of a bitch" he muttered before closingbhis eyes and focusing, he could sense the magical energies of everything in the Castle, which was annoying but he ignoredbit when he found a powerful magical energy away from the fighting so Jason opened his eyes and headed towards it.

When he arrived near the source, he was in a strange Statue filled garden, the statues were of odd creatures but he didn't have time to pay attention as he needed to find the Overlord, which he found in front of a stone Alicorn with her wings flared and a massive Battle Axe in hand. "Look at you know Solar, petrified and unable to stop us from claiming your world" he chuckled, he was in blue robes that covered all of him save for his head, which was covered in a helmet that reminded him of the Lord of the Rings Witch King, in his hand was a massive staff with a golden crystal at the top and a gold ball at the bottom. "And you were the only one who was able to slay an Overlord, mind you he was weak from the Cataclysm but still strong" he said before sniffing the air. "Ahh so you have come for me Human, smart choice" he said before turning and giving a bow. "My name is Re'yen" he said before slamming the ball of the Staff into the ground and a ripple of magic sent Jason flying back into a Bench, shattering it. Jason groaned before he rolled out of the way as a light blue magical spear slammed into where he just was. "Oh do stay still" he growled as Jason drew one of his swords and used his magic to engulf it in black flames "Oh a new development, interesting" he said as he grabbed the area just above the ball of his staff and pulled, revealing a rapier that was housed in the Staff.

Jason launched himself forward and slashed, barely missing the Warlock as he teleported behind Jason and slashed, but only his Jason's shield as he whipped around and blasted with black lightning, which the Warlock absorbed into his staff and fired back, making Jason cry out before he was slashed across the chest, the blade luckily didn't penetrate his armour, but it did send him stumbling back and against the Pedestal that the Alicorn was on.

"You really are pathetic" Re grumbled before thrusting his Rapier forward only for Jason to roll out of the way and sever Re's arm at the Elbow as Jason's spare hand grabbed the Crystal and drained it fully, causing it to shatter and splinter into Jason's hand. "You trash" he said kicking Jason back into the Pedestal. "I don't need magic to kill you" he growled grabbing his Rapier.

'Free me and I will help you' a voice said in his head causing him to look up at the statue before looking at Re who was about to charge, Jason took a leap of faith and placed his bleeding hand against the Alicorn's ankle and pumped magic into her moments before the statue cracked and detonated sending both Jason and Re back.

Jason groaned as he rolled onto his stomach, he noticed that he actually had a chunk of wood sticking out of his thigh, between the plate 'shit, I'll deal with that later' he thought before he felt like it was a million degrees.

"No you shall not stop me whore" yelled Re as Jason looked over to see Re slowly crawling away from the White Alicorn, her cost had a red hue to it and red and Orange mane flowed in the air except it along with her tail looked like they were burning at the tips, her body was coated in red and gold armour and her Battle Axe was a dark red colour.

"Oh I know I won't because I will just hold you down" she smirked as she placed her foot on his chest and held him down, she turned to Jason and gestured him over, which he did before stopping above the Overlord. "I believe this is your Kill" she stated as he nodded before slashing his blade and cutting the Overlord's head in two, killing him before the tendrils impaled Jason making he drop to his knees. "That's new" she said as Jason felt the temperature return to normal, moments before he felt the piece of wood in his leg being ripped free and all his wounds surrounded in a burning sensation. " there now you won't bleed to death" she said as he nodded and rose.

"Thank you, now help the guard" he said as she cocked an eyebrow.

"And why should I listen to you?" She asked.

"Cause I don't want them to be butchered again" he said as she groaned and flew off. Jason took a deep breath before heading to the sounds of battle, he used his magic to ignite the lanterns before entering the Castle.

(Iron Star)

Iron was panting as she knelt on the ground, the dozen or so Elite Royal Guard that were left were fighting black armoured ponies that seemed to ignore pain and didn't die no matter the wound. Morning was standing in front of her sister wielding a shield and a Mace as she was knocking back the invaders, in the middle of the group of enemies stood a heavily armoured creature which had a massive spiked shield and a sadistic looking Flail along with a massive great sword on its back as I laughed each time a Guard went down. "Soon you shall all die and I shall have my prizes" it chuckled as Iron saw a immortal pony charge at her and out of instinct she drove her blade into his chest and surprisingly enough he stopped, looked at the blade before collapsing dead. This gained everyone's attention as the Royal Guard seemed to get a second Wind and slammed into the line and began slicing into the vulnerable enemy. " it doesn't matter, your still out numbered four to one" he chuckled before the door behind him burst open and Equestria guard flooded the room "No!" He shouted as his men were killed.

"Surrender Sin've you are outnumbered" said Celestia as she stepped forward, her golden armour was cracked and her left wing was likely hanging from her back but she still stood tall with her Great sword in hand.

"It doesn't matter, I will still kill them all" he laughed before the door to the side exploded out in a ball of fire as a White Alicorn stood at attention with a flaming Axe. "What! But how?.... it doesn't matter, I shall break you also" he said as he roared causing all ponies to hold their ears and their legs to buckle under them.

"Bastard" Celestia said as Sin walked over and chuckled.

"I know and soon you shall carry one" he said before he was struck in the head by a black bolt of magic from above, causing him to stumble back. Everypony looked up to see a armoured figure, it's armour had blood splattered on it and many holes.

"Jason!" Shining called out as Iron's ears flopped against her head as she watched the figure hop down off the balcony as a black aura surrounded him, slowing he decent before he landed in front of Sin.

"Human" Sin growled.

"Fuck Face" Jason replied causing Sin to roar and charge at him beforr swinging his Flail at an incredible speed which Jason could simply raise his Shield before he was sent into a wall and onto the ground, his shield landed near him.

"Fool, you should have known better" Sin chuckled until he watched Jason push himself back up, his left arm hung limply as he drew his second blade. "You can't win boy, I will break you" Sin said as Jason remained silent before his sword was surrounded in a black Aura.

"I don't care if you break me Whore, I will kill you" Jason said before charging forward but Sin swung his Flail again. As Jason parried the Flail, his sword sliced straight through the weapon before its blade shattered, he then lunged forward with the broken sword but he was slapped with the handle of the Flail as sent a few metres away.

"Impressive but not enough" Sin said as he discarded the pole and drew the Great sword and wielded it in a single hand. Jason rose and discarded his dented helmet and spat blood onto the ground. "Prepare to die boy"Sin said before he lunged forward, in a attempt to impale Jason but Jason rolled to the side, and had his side slashed before a black aura formed around his right hand and blasted him in the Overlord in his less armoured ribs, sending him onto the ground with a groan. Jason picked up a sword from the ground as Sin was getting up, once he was up, Jason drove the Blade through his Visor before removing the blade and severing his head and watched as the Overlord's corpse crumpled to the floor dead moments before the tendrils exited its body and entered Jason's, causing the wounded human to stumble and collapse on the ground.

Luna was the first to him and looked at the nearby guards "get a doctor now'" she roared as the guard's nodded before two ran off
