John The Human
Chapter 15 The Wicked Queen
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe Queen laughed evilly as more Changelings came into the room. John looked outside and saw that even more of them were coming down from the sky. The ones outside the palace started to surround the building as the Changelings who were coming in stopped and ended up filled half of the room.
The ponies and the humans came together as the Queen walked towards the group.
"What are these things?" Ryan asked.
"They're Changelings," replied Cadence, "They can change to anyone you know and feed on your love for them."
"Really?" wondered Peter, "Depression for love."
The Queen then stopped in front of the group as she stopped laughing and smiled at them.
"From the look on your faces, you never thought that we would come back," said the Queen, "How amusing!"
"How did you come back?" asked Twilight.
The Queen flauntingly brushed her mane out of her face, as the ponies bristled, aggressively.
"Simple," said the Queen, "We only traveled by night to get here, thanks to a special friend of mine."
A special friend? John thought, Is she talking about Yeston or Princeton?
Then, she noticed the humans were looking at her. Her eyes grew wide as she stared at them. The humans were getting a little creeped out by how the Queen looked at her and the way she was smiling.
"You ponies made new friends. How wonderful!"
"WHAT DID YOU DO TO PRINCESS CELESTIA!?!?!?" Twilight screamed.
The Queen looked at the purple unicorn and she was extremely angry. Twilight was breathing heavily, her teeth were grinding, and one of her eyes was tweaking. The rest weren't expecting Twilight to be this angry at all. After all, she was the princess's assistant.
"Your princess is taking a nap," The Queen smiled, "It's a shame that she didn't get the chance to fight me."
The Changelings brought Princess Celestia in a green,transparent cocoon. The ponies gasped while the humans, especially John, clenched their fists with fury. The Queen looked at the princess and pulled off an evil grin.
"Besides, her room needed to be redecorated for myself."
"That's uncool!" exclaimed Rainbow Dash, "Why couldn't you just stay where you were after you were blasted away?"
"Oh please. Equestria needs a new leader," The Changeling Queen laughed, "Besides, it's like you don't do any better."
"Why you little!"
Rainbow Dash dashed towards the Queen before she teleported herself to the other side of the room. The rainbow pony seeked and found the wicked Queen before dashing towards her the second time. Just as Rainbow Dash gets really close, the Queen once again teleported herself to the same spot she was before. This time, the Changeling leader was holding a small creature alongside with a knife on it's neck.
"Do it again and he gets it," growled the Queen.
"Spike!" exclaimed everyone.
"Let me go!" yelled Spike.
Rainbow Dash stared at the Queen and Spike. She wanted to go for it, but that would sacrifice her friend as well. Without a doubt, the Element of Loyalty slowly returned to the group, for her friends life.
"Wise choice," said the Queen as she let go of Spike.
He ran towards the group and hugged Twilight.
"Thank Celestia you're okay," said Twilight.
Rarity grabbed Spike and started to kiss him in the cheek.
"My little Spikey-Wikey. Did that mean Queen hurt her?" whined Rarity.
"How astonishing you ponies are?" laughed the Queen, "Just imagine if things had gone worse."
Everyone gave the Queen a serious look as she continued to laugh. Each one wanted to something, but they were outnumbered by her minions. All except John. He was paid attention towards the knife than the Queen herself.
"That knife you have with you, where did you get it?" asked John.
The Queen stopped laughing and looked at the knife.
"This? It was given," said the Queen, "Why? Do you like it?"
"Well, I admire your weapon. It look so...unique."
"Why, thank you, whatever you are. At least somepony is nice."
The Queen swung the knife a couple time before looking back at John.
"Do you want to know something funny about that knife?" John chuckled.
"What is it, if I may ask?" Queen questioned with curiosity.
John stepped forward as the others watched him.
"The only way to get a knife like that is to get it customized, if you were in my world and asked certain people to do it for you."
"Really? And you don't suppose that it came here around the same time as you did?"
"John, what are you talking about?" Tyler finally popped the question.
The human pointed at the knife as he made a serious glare at it.
"On the blade, there's some writing on it," his voice was remarkably similar to Christian Bale’s Batman, "What does it say?"
The Queen then looked at the blade.
"It reads W.G." said the Queen, "It must've been the pony who gave it to me."
"Wrong!" John yelled like Lex Luthor tone of voice. "The only person who has those initials in that customized knife is the person I know since the day I was born."
"John, what are you saying?" worried Twilight.
"I'm saying that the knife she has, it belongs to my own brother, Walden Goodman."
The group gasped as John lowered his hand.
"Which brings me to the same question," he was getting more furious, "Where did you get it?"
The Queen seemed to be startled how a human being like John caught her in a lie. She taken a good look at the knife before closing her eyes. The Changelings then gave John a dirty look because of how he managed to get their Queen get caught up. The human knew what he had done and it felt good for him. Though one question popped up in his mind. Where did she get it?
As John thought about it, the Changeling Queen opened her eyes and stared at the human.
"I knew you would find out, John Goodman," she admitted, "He came here awhile back and was forced to give his precious knife, in return for the girl."
"What girl?" asked Ryan.
"The girl that you care for the most."
From that, John lost the serious look on his face and was submitted into frightness.
"Jessica!?"
The guys gasped in despair.
"That's right," She then looked at her hooves, "Both of them fled to the Everfree Forest."
"Everfree Forest! Oh no." cried Fluttershy and Phil as one.
"And if you want to know what happened to them, well, beats me."
The Queen laughed once again as a shed of tear came out of John's eye. He fell to his knees like he was shot in the heart. He couldn't bare to hear that not only Jessica was here, but ended up going to the most dangerous forest ever. What was even worse was that his brother was with her. How was it possible? Did they arrive at their own time in a different location? John never knew the possibilities, but one thing was certain. He lost two people that he cared for so much.
"Now, if you excuse us, we have some unfinished business to take care of," The Queen continued.
John raised his head as the Changeling Queen began to leave the room.
"Make sure these prisoners don't leave the room."
Within a split second, John dashed towards the Queen as fast he could. The group couldn't believe how their friend John was able to run that fast. Even the Changelings dropped their jaws because of him.
In a blink of an eye, he tackled the Queen down. The Changelings snapped out of surprise and went towards John. The group charged to the army of Changelings as the battle for Equestria began.
To be continued...
Again
John, the person who tackled the Queen down, got up and saw that the Changelings were going towards him. He went on and began to fought the upcoming beings. He punched and kicked any Changeling that came in front of him. This scenario reminded him when he was fighting one-thousand heartless in Kingdom Hearts 2, except he didn't had any magical powers nor carried a key shaped sword. Plus, John had assistance from his friends.
His friends fought the Queen's minions so bravely. Each one did whatever to fight the Changelings. Twilight, Shining Armor, and Rarity used their magic to attacked them. Applejack teamed up with Rainbow Dash while Pinkie Pie hopped on the Changelings harshly. As of the humans, they protected Cadence and Fluttershy whenever any Changeling came towards them. They all fought with such dignity.
As they fought, the Changeling's queen got up and realized that her minions were fighting. She seemed to be startled at first, but then, she slowly closed her eyes and taken a few deep breaths. By the time she taken her third breath, she opened her eyes and started to walked towards the battlefield.
"John! You dare to tackled me down!" shouted the Queen with a different tone of voice. "That's not how you treat a queen like me."
Everyone, including the Changelings, stopped fighting and looked at the Queen.
"I don't suppose you-" John paused as he noticed something different about the Queen.
"Come John, finish your sentence."
The Queen got close enough to John as he looked to her eyes. They weren't the same color of her original eyes. Only, they were red.
"What's wrong John? Cat got your tongue?" She then smacked him with her hoof.
She smacked the startled human so hard that he fell to the ground. Everyone gasped in despair when they saw John gotten hit. They tried to reached him, but the Changelings blocked them by forming a battle circle around the Queen and John. Then, a red, transparent force field appeared before the Changelings, making the heroes impossible to reach their friend. The minions began to cheer for their queen as the others gasped at the force field.
"Oh no! John is going to get toasted!" exclaimed Rainbow Dash, "We have to get him!"
"And how are we going to do that, with all these Changelings and the force field?" asked Ryan.
"Well, can Shining Armor and Cadence can do that spell like last time?"
"Of course!" exclaimed Twilight, "You two do that, while we take care of them."
Shining Armor and Cadence looked at each other.
"What?"
"We can't do that spell again," sighed Cadence, "It's only one time spell and it can't be done again."
"It's true," sighed Shining Armor, "Sorry sis."
From there, everyone had the thought of the only way to end the situation was if John defeated the Queen. Chances of him defeating her were low. The gang had to think of something before anything went south.
"Wait! There's a way," said Zerj.
"There is?" exclaimed the ponies.
"What is it?" asked Pinkie Pie.
While Zerj explained his plan to the ponies, John gets up, dusted himself, and face the wicked Queen.
"Heh, Why won't you stay down?" laughed the Queen.
The human gave the Queen the silent treatment as he gave the "Bitch you messed with the wrong human" facial expression.
"That's alright. I can make you go down for sure."
The Queen's horn began to glow and pointed towards him.
"Any last words before you meet with your precious girlfriend and brother?"
Before John could say anything, he slowly closed his eyes and began to have thoughts about Walden and Jessica. All the good times that they went together was spectacular. John was happy and so was they. However, he felt something strange in his body, but whatever the feeling was, it felt good.
As John was on memory lane, Chrysalis was getting impatient with him.
"Alright John. I guess your time is up."
The Queen pointed her horn towards John and it began to glow. The others looked at the situation and they began to put their plan into action. They went across the room to get Princess Celestia out of the cocoon without being noticed. Within a few seconds, the Queen made her move as John opened his eyes and immediately blocked the magical beam with his hands.
The Queen stopped and stared at the human with confusion and anger.
“No! That’s impossible! You can’t block magic with your body!!"
The Changelings and everyone else saw the commotion.
"John, did you just..." said Twilight, desperately trying to make sense of what she had just witnessed.
John stared at his hands and saw the smoke that came from the beam.
"It doesn't matter now! I'll end you, one way, or the other!" exclaimed the Queen.
She made another beam and again, it was blocked.
"No! It can't be."
The Queen kept on doing the same attack, but the results remained the same.
After five minutes of attacking, Chrysalis finally stopped. Everyone was surprised how John was able to block those attacks. And because of the distractions, they were able to get Princess Celestia out.
"What happened?" wondered the princess.
"We're being invaded by the Changelings," said Twilight, "And the Queen is fighting John."
"My goodness. We must inform the guards."
"Zerj and Spike is taking care of it," said Peter.
Princess Celestia saw the humans by her side.
"And you are?"
Meanwhile...
"I can't believe this!" cried the Queen, "How are you blocking my magic?! How was this possible?!"
John looked at the exhausted queen.
“Everything is possible,” smiled John.
Then, John closed his eyes as he raised his arms halfway. He remained where he was for about one minute. Not know what he was going to do, the Queen set herself to attack John. Then, the Changelings began to stomp in a rhythmic way. The others didn't knew why the Changelings were stomping. As for the Queen, she put on a psycho smile as her eyes began to twitch.
"Now... I'm going to end your life. Once and for all!" screeched the Queen as her horn began to glow, "And, once I’m done with you, I'll do the same with your friends!"
She pointed her horn John as the Changelings began to cheer more loud than before.
"Good-bye John Goodman."
Zap!
Boom!!!!
"NOOOO!!!!" everyone shouted.
The Queen laughed without a care in the world as the force field was broken into pieces from the explosion. The smoke from the explosion covered the area where John was. John's friends couldn't believe what they had witnessed, they were so distraught, that they started to cry.
"You monster!" cried Twilight.
"You'll pay for this!" cried Ryan with his fist in the air.
When things were about to get more darker, the smoke cleared out and everyone stared what remained in the area where the human was at. They saw John inside of a blue transparent force field. Jaws were dropped as the force field disappeared.
"Oh your majesty, it's time to dethrone you," smiled John.
"What!? I thought you..." cried Chrysalis.
"Died? Well, I felt something powerful in me and had to release it."
John clenched his fist as his body began to glow. His light was getting brighter in every second, his body was floating in mid air, and the light looked like if he was on fire. It gave the the evil beings chills in their spines. Chrysalis then knew what was going to happen.
“No!! This wasn’t suppose to happen.” cried the Queen. “He lied to me!”
With that being said, the human sent a wave of blue energy, only effecting the Changelings and their leader. The waved exploded the force field and it sounded like a bomb was set off. The evil beings, including Chrysalis, went flying outside the room and away to the clear sky.
"NO!!!!!!!" cried the Changelings and their queen to the distance.
After a few seconds, John’s body stopped glowing he taken a good, deep breath.
Man, did I just do that? John thought, Strange.
"John, I don't where and when you get magical powers, but you saved us!" cried Aaron.
The human looked at his friends as they ran towards him.
"Like if you were Harry Potter all of the sudden," said Peter.
"Plus Goku," said Ryan, "But man, that was awesome."
The guys hugged John like if it was their teddy bear.
"You guys. You're squeezing me," groaned John.
"Oh, sorry," said Tyler.
They let go of John as the Elements of Harmony rushed in, hugging him as well.
"Yay... more hugging," the human groaned once again.
