John The Human
Chapter 21 The Bells of War are Playing
Previous ChapterNext ChapterMeanwhile, in Canterlot, Zerj walked around the palace when he saw the flying armanda in the sky. He knew it was his friend Princeton and Yetson who were operating the ship. He sighed and began to inform the guards in the palace that to tell everypony in the city to get inside the emergency bunkers immediately while they prepared themselves to defend Canterlot when the armada ship attack. One of the guards approached to the princesses and also informed them about the situation. They immediately taken a glimpse outside and saw the ship not that far from the city.
"Is every citizen in the bunkers?" asked Princess Celestia.
"Yes princess Celestia."
Both princesses then looked away from the window and faced the guard.
"Excellent." Princess Luna spoke up. “You have permission to retaliate at free will.”
“And when things turn for the worst,” Celestia looked down to the ground, “Send letters to every nation and kingdom that we’ve been attack by Yetson and to be prepare.”
The royal guard noticed that she wasn’t making eye contact with him. His mind assumed that the sun goddess knew that they were going to lose, but it wasn’t going to stop him and the rest of the royal guards to save the city and stop the amanda. The guard nodded and left in a hurry to join the others.
The taller alicorn sighed as her sister looked at her.
“What is it sister?” Luna asked.
Celestia looked at her relative with a sad look.
“Do you remember when I said that the two foals went through the portal?” she replied.
“Yes Tia.” The moon goddess nodded.
“And said that they’re where abouts remained unknown up to this day?”
“Yes.”
Celestia sighed once more and wiped a tear on her face.
“They’re alive.”
“What!?” Luna was astonished, “How do you know if they are?”
“I know this because… I used the portal spell to locate them. Once I did, they were transformed and looked like...”
“Like what?”
…
“Wait. You mean?”
“Yes, sister.” Celestia nodded, “Both of them are here.”

In the armanda's main lobby, Yetson stared at the big window, which showed the palace not that far in the distance. Princeton stood by his side, but faced the opposite direction, like he was a royal guard. Further down the little stairway in the same room, there was a prison cell, where the mane six, Spike, and Walden was at. Neither one of them were pleased what was going to happen.
"Twilight, why aren't you using your magic to get us out." asked Walden.
"I'm trying to." she replied, "But my magic isn't working."
"That's because magic is blocked out since you're in the cell." Princeton spoke up, "Much like we've taken away your magic abilities, but not physically nor mentally."
"Just wait til I get my hooves on you and Yetson!" Rainbow Dash growled as she kicked the cell's door. "Then, you'll be sorry."
"You ponies are so adorable when you're mad." Yetson got up and faced them. "It makes me want to giggle like a sissy girl."
The ponies, except for Fluttershy, grew an angry expression as he walked and chuckled towards their prison cell.
"You know, this is your chance to redeem yourselves."
"Redeem ourselves?" Twilight wondered.
"To be my followers."
Yetson stopped in front of the cell and looked at them.
"Why would we, the Elements of Harmony, submit to you?" Pinkie asked in a sassy attitude.
"Ahh! Good question. Why wouldn't you do such thing? Well, to tell you the truth, once I conquer Canterlot and the rest of the world, I can make you ponies leaders of the New World Order. Imagine the power you have with the elements plus each one of you can have a nation and name it whatever you want. To make things even better, I can make you immortals, like me. Live forever in my reign and maybe down the line, we can conquer Walden's world."
"What!?" Walden exclaimed.
"That's right," Yetson continued, "I've heard that the human world is already restored with peace and harmony. It wasn't that long ago that someone with an army of flying beings stopped some manotaur looking demon and his army from taking over the world. Once we settled our new government, we'll take the human world and any other worlds we want, thus creating a Galactic Empire that will last for generations to come, just like Star Wars."
The god of chaos paused and sighed in happiness.
"So, what do you say?"
The group exchanged looks and looked back at Yetson.
"Your plan sounds so..out of world." said Twilight.
“Pretty much, my little pony.” Yetson bowed his head a little.
“But, we’re going to say no. Right girls?”
The ponies nodded in agreement.
“Well,” Yetson sighed, “What about you Spike?”
“Me?” the little dragon raised an eyebrow, “I can’t rule a kingdom. I’m just a baby.”
“Sure you can. With my guidance, you can rule your kind as prince. No, as a king. The dragons would be under your control and have many gems and crystals as you want.”
“There’s no way that I’ll -wait. Many gems and crystals I want.”
The group looked at the baby dragon as Yetson chuckled.
“Yes little one.” He continued to bribe him. “All the gems and crystals you can eat. Even rare gems, like these.”
The figure made a gem appeared on his hand and showed it to the group.
“WOAH!” Spike’s eyes grew big as his mouth began to get watery, “That’s a big diamond.”
“Spike don’t!” Rainbow Dash spoke up, “Don’t fall for it.”
“It’s so big.” The dragon licked his lips.
“This is yours Spike,” said Yetson, “If you accept the offer.”
Spike kept on staring at the diamond as the ponies and Walden stepped forward.
“You’re not getting Spike.” Twilight was frustrated, “You’ll be sorry if you do.”
“Don’t you remember where you’re at?” The figure snickered, “You’re unable to do magic. Besides, Spike is old enough to make his decisions.”
“Yeah Twilight,” Spike snapped at her, “I’m old enough to make my own decisions.”
The purple unicorn looked at the dragon as everyone else gasped in surprise.
“Spikey,” Rarity raised her hoof, “You realize what you’re doing?”
“Yes Rarity. I’m am.”
Spike walked towards the bars where Yetson was at. He looked up at the figure and buffed his chest in courage. The ponies, including Walden, were so much in surprise how Spike was making the biggest mistake of his life. It was clear that the baby dragon prefered jewelry and power than his friends.
“So, future king of dragons, have you made your decision?” Yetson asked.
“I have.” Spike replied.
The figure moved closer to the bars so that the little dragon could grab the diamond. The object was about three inches from his face and it was the shiniest gem he ever saw. Spike stared at it as he licked his lips once more. The group watched him very closely and felt sad that the dragon was submitting to Yetson. It was the matter of time before Spike would be under the figure’s control.
A few seconds went by and the diamond was in still Yetson’s hand.
“Aren’t you going to take it?” He asked.
Spike looked up and made a serious expression.
“No.” The dragon replied.
Suddenly, the group dropped their jaws as Yetson tilt his head.
“What?”
“You heard me. I said no. Got it memorized?”
Then, Spike grabbed the diamond, threw it through the bars and it landed on the floor. The ponies were shocked how the baby dragon denied the offer and what was more shocking that his attitude was different; yet, it was adorable to watch. Walden grew a grin and crossed his arms as a token of appreciation that Spike was doing. It was a surprise turn for the better.
“Oh and Yetson,” Spike looked at him, “Don’t try to bribe Walden. His answer is the same as everypony else.”
From there, the little dragon began to walk towards the group like if he was a boss. The ponies gathered around him and hugged the little one. Yeston seemed to be angered by this action, but due to the shadow of his hood, the group couldn't tell if he was mad or not. He pulled his hand out of the cell and sighed in anger.
"So unwise of you." He then began to walk back towards his throne. "Since you all denied my offer, you all hear by sentence to death by public execution, once I'm done with this."
The ponies gasped in horror as Fluttershy began to burst to tears.
"Wait!" Walden shouted. "Where's Jessica?"
Yetson stopped his track and looked down to the floor.
"You'll know when John arrives."
~~~
"You guys ready?" John asked.
"Yeah!" They all replied.
"Alright, let's put the plan to motion."
The guys got their weapons ready as John approached to Discord.
"You know what to do."
The draquiniqus sighed and left the library. The humans watched Discord sneaked towards a small group of Heathens and began to do his wave his arms for attention. They noticed the creature and began to chase him. He entered one house with them and somehow came out of the other. From the looks of the chase scene, it reminded the humans of an old classic chase scenario. Discord entered one house alongside with the Heathens and came out the next house repeatedly. Eventually, every Heathen was either chasing each other or being chased by Discord. At one point of the chase scene, four random ponies that the humans seemed to recognized as a rock band, came out of one house and into the next one. Even a gang of kids and a dog came out of the nearest house from the library and went across the street to another. It was mayhem.
Discord, then led the Heathens the library where the humans were at. Once he entered the library, John's friends began to shoot the small group. The Heathens collapsed to the floor as black liquid came out of the bullet holes.
"They're mechanical robots." said Peter, "At least Phil won't cry about killing an actual being."
"Alright Discord," John spoke up, "To the balcony."
Both of them went to the balcony as the guys set their positions for battle.
"Hurry John." said Tyler, "You don't want them to shoot both of you down."
"Alright geez."
John got on to Discord as he began to fly. Within a second, they already in the sky.
"The plan actual works." said the dragquiniqus. "Good thing I’m able to carry you.”
“I’m not fat.” The human sighed.
“Oh come on Johnny. They wouldn’t know.”
“Who’s they?”
“They are they.”
John looked at Discord with a strange look.
“What?”
Then, from the distance, they saw the armada ship just above the Canterlot palace. Discord began to pace up as both of them drew closer to the ship. Once they reached the ship, they heard bells ringing that came from the ship.
“Bells?” John wondered, “What for?”
~~~
Princess Celestia was at her balcony when the bells rang. She knew why Yetson was playing the bells. It wasn’t much of a surprise for her, but she knew this day would come. Zerj and the guards looked up at the ship as the bells continued to rang. They were ready for him, ready to battle for Equestria and the whole world.
~~~
“Master,” said Princeton, “Shall we fire?”
“In a minute,” Yetson replied, “Let the bells continue to ring. I want them to know their time has come. The sun and the moon will no longer shine.”
The unicorn nodded and turned around to face what was behind them.
“He’s here.” Princeton gave an evil smile.
Yetson turned around and saw John by the doorway. The prisoners began to cheer in glee that he arrived unharmed. The human began to walk towards them as the figure got up to greet him.
“It’s about time you arrive,” Yetson clapped, “I was wondering when you’ll come.”
“Save it Yetson.” John snapped at him, “You’re reign of terror ends here.”
The human stopped as his hands began to glow.
“And I just know how.”
Yetson crossed his arms as his way of being curious.
“How?” The figure asked.
John, from his magic, made a bag appeared on his hands and revealed the elements of harmony in front of him.
“This.”
Then, they heard an explosion that came from the prison cell. Both Yetson and Princeton looked behind the human and saw Zerj escorting the prisoners out of the cell as they began to head towards their friend to be on his side. John then put each element on their owners and each mare was happy that they got their elements back. Just by that, the mane six, John, Walden, and Zerj were in front of the two foes while Spike stood behind Twilight.
“Well, John,” Yetson crossed his arms, “You outnumbered us. Plus you gave the Elements to their bearers. So that makes us powerless and weak.”
“You bet.” The human grinned.
“And you’re not concerned about what’s going to happen to me?”
“Do I care?”
“You should boy.” Yetson stepped forward. “In that matter, I would step down while you can.”
“Why would he?” Zerj asked.
Then, the bells stopped ringing as the figure himself grabbed his dark red robe and pulled it off to reveal what he actually looked like. From what they saw, including Princeton, everyone was horrified.
“You didn’t?” John dropped his jaw.
“That’s right Johnny,” Yetson spoke with a female voice, “I’ve taken control of your beloved friend, Jessica.”
Suddenly, the armada ship began to fire at Canterlot. It startled the ponies, including Walden, because it surprised them. John however, was still mind blow by this result.
“Master!” Princeton looked at the female possessed being, “You didn’t say you would fused with her.”
Yetson chuckled as he/she looked back at the unicorn.
“Sorry that I lied to you.” He/she smirked, “It was part of my plan to lie to you about this situation.”
“Why master? I’m faithful to you.”
“Do you want me to recall that day for you?” Yetson raised his/her voice, “I’m not over it after all this time.”
“Wha- what do you mean?”
The possessed god of chaos looked at everyone else, who were watching the drama, before giving an evil smile.
“That’s right.” Yetson began to walk towards Princeton, “I’ve wiped out your memory from that day. You won’t remember it or even perhaps… your foal.”
He/she made a red orb appeared on his/her hand.
“Maybe this would jog your memory.”
The possessed god of chaos threw the orb at the unicorn to the head. Once the orb was in his head, Princeton fell to the ground as he began to yell in pain. The ponies gasped as Zerj ran towards him to comfort his old friend.
“What did you do to him?” Twilight finally spoke.
“Nothing, my dear.” Yetson replied, “I gave back his memories from his birth to his little foal. It’s colliding with his current memory from serving me. So he would be in pain for about some time.”
He/she then looked at John.
“John, you want to know the truth?”
The human remained silent.
“Princeton… is your father.”
