John The Human
Chapter 22 This is it!
Previous ChapterNext ChapterEveryone remained silent as they tried to understand the words they had just heard. They were in total shock that Princeton is John's father. Each one gave their own expression, according to their personality. Zerj's jaw dropped as his gratitude of shocked and mind blown. As of John himself, he mind was filled with questions.
"It...can't be true!" Rarity protested, "John is not a pony!"
"Really?" Yetson crossed his/her arms, "Didn't John's magic and his actions gave any clue to you that he was one of them?"
Before any creature could anwser the question, the thought about John having magical powers blinded them the fact that he was actually a pony. However, something wasn't right.
"If John's an alicorn, how is he human?" Twilight asked.
"Good question," The mastermind responded, "When the royal guard forced me to release the two foals into the portal, the portal must've transformed them by the time they reached the other side. I don't know how it works, but to simplify it, I think the human god must've done it. And you know something else?"
Everyone except John looked at him.
"It took me 18 years to find him and Jessica because of the portal wasn't guaranteed to be the place as it was before," He continued, "It wasn't easy to find the book that Starswirl had, but since my ex assistant Princeton found it, I was able to locate both of them to come here and use them for my master plan, which you already know."
"Jessica..." John said in a crack tone.
"Yes John. Jessica is an alicorn as well."
Everyone gasped as Zerj, who was by his old friend, got up and dashed in front of the gang.
"You mean to tell me that my little Violet Star is Jessica!?!?" He shouted, "You monster! I demand you to release her at once!"
"I wish I could," said Yetson, "But I got my hands full at the moment, so I don’t think I will."
Before the god of chaos could do anything, there was a roaring sound of an explosion that rocked the armada and surprised everyone. From the distance, everyone heard the cries of the imprisoned ponies, louder than the sirens that were set off. The elements of harmony turned around and began to worry.
"Odd." Yetson scratched his/her chin, "This ship wasn't to suppose to start the countdown unless I say so."
"What countdown?" Walden asked.
"Oh right. I forgot to mention my backup plan. Well, in case things didn't go my way, I had another plan in my sleeve; however, this plan has... unfortunate consequences."
Yetson turned around and looked at Canterlot from the view.
"You mean..." spoke Twilight.
He/she chuckled softly as he/she grinned and began to float.
"You have actually ten minutes and thirty seconds to leave this ship before this ship exploded."
"What!?" shouted everyone, except John.
"And to make matters worse, you can either save your ponies and live, or you know what..? why not kill you all?"
From there, Yetson shot a magical beam from his/her hand at Zerj, but missed as the elements set their necklaces and crown in place.
"Alright girls." spoke Twilight, "Ready?"
"I think not."
The god of chaos then threw another magical, but powerful beam towards the ponies. Zerj used his magic to summon a force field to block the beam. The attack was powerful that it made not only the force field break, but made the unicorn weak.
"Are you alright?" asked Fluttershy.
"Never been better." He replied.
Yetson aimed his/her hand at John, but didn't attack him.
"John," The chaos god spoke, "I know this is a lot for you to handle, but don't worry. I'm going to end it."
Twilight shot a beam of magic at Yetson; unfortunately, he/she reversed the attack by grabbing it, turned the beam from purple to red, and threw it towards John. Everyone shouted to look out, but the guy was still shocked by the fact that he was a pony all along. Just as the beam just about to hit him, Walden immediately pushed him out of the way as he was struck by the magical beam. It made him slide roughly to the wall that was by the main door. John snapped out of his thoughts and saw that his brother was attacked. He and the others went towards him to find out if he was okay.
"Darling are you -oh sweet Celestia!?!?" Rarity exclaimed, "You've been stabbed!"
Everyone looked at him and saw the knife on the location of his heart as blood dripped out from his mouth and where the knife was at.
"It's your knife," said Applejack, "But how!?"
Walden was breathing heavily as John knelt down right next to him.
"Don't worry bro!" The younger brother spoke, "I'll get you out of here and take you to the hospital okay."
"No." The elder hesitated, "The knife is nailed to the wall and... I can't make it."
"Don't say that Walden. I'm going to get you help."
John couldn't believe what his older brother was telling him. There was no way he was going to lose another or perhaps his last relative in his life. First his father, then his mother, and now, his older brother refused to get any medical help. It was too much for him to handle.
Then, Walden grabbed his little brother's arm and held it tight.
"John... I'm sorry. I'm sorry I didn't tell you the truth. I...never wanted you to be hurt again like what happened to our dad. You are my brother, blood or no blood."
John's eyes began to be filled with tears and nodded.
"You...are my...brother..."
Walden gave his last breath as his hand let go of his brother's arm.
"Walden..." John's voiced cracked.
Everypony, based on their personality, began to roll tears of sorrow as the soldier bowed his head down and cried. as Zerj turned around and faced Yetson.
"How dare you?" He spoke.
"How dare I?" The chaos god crossed his/her arms, "He was in the way. Besides, he was going to die anyway."
From this, John got up and clenched his fist, but never looked at Yetson. Twilight looked at her friend and saw his hands were the sign of anger. Not only that, his upper body began to vibrate like crazy. The other ponies began to look at him as he bend his back forward and witness something rising from there. It got bigger until his shirt ripped and revealed what it was.
"John... you have wings.." Twilight pointed out.
The guy looked at them for a second before placing his hatred eyes on Yetson.
"You MONSTER!!" He shouted.
Then, John spread his wings and began to flap. His wings were white as Princess Celestia, but they were longer than hers. Everyone was surprised how John managed to fly without any experience or training. Rainbow Dash's jaw dropped of how much her mind was blown of this. They were all overwhelmed because it all made sense.
John was an alicorn after all.
"You will pay for what you have done." The soldier spoke with anger, "I will end you Yetson, no matter what it takes."
"And how can you do that if I'm possessing Jessica?" The chaos god asked.
John gave it a thought of how he was going to attack Yetson without harming the girl of his dreams. He had to think quickly because time was running out. He could fight him/her in his/her mind, but didn't knew the spell for it. The elements of harmony can stop him immediately. However, there was no guaranteed that Jessica would come back. There was no way to stop Yetson.
Then, John looked at where Princeton was at and saw that he was on a floor, opening a book with his hooves. He looked closely at the book and it was the spell book that was taken away from Starswirl the Bearded's grave. The guy wondered how he managed to get the book without causing any attention for anyone. Because of it, an idea came to his mind of how to defeat him.
"This." John grinned as he dashed forward and pushed him/her towards the large window.
Immediately, Yetson rapidly went towards the flying human and threw the first punch to his face. The chaos god tried to punch him again, but this time, John dodged the attack and flew back. Yetson threw more punches as he/she flew towards him. Everypony was distracted while Princeton kept on scanning the pages until he found what he was looking for. Once he found the page, he got up and began to walk towards Yetson's throne. The human kept on dodging the attacks until they both reached the wall where once again John missed the attack, letting the chaos god leaving a dent and pushed him/her again, but with a magic beam. Yetson recovered him/herself and stared at the human.
"You know?" said Yetson, "Laying a hand on a lady is a not best option, especially the fact that I'm possessing Jessica."
"I know." John chuckled, "And you're exactly where I want you to be."
"Going to use the elements?"
"Nope."
"Huh?" Everypony finally spoke after being silent.
"No?" The chaos god seemed confused, "Then how?"
John then looked at Princeton once again.
"Him." The human replied.
Everyone, including Yetson, turned their attention to the assistant and saw that he was standing up, holding the spell book with his magic.
"Hey Yetson." Princeton spoke, "Have you forgot about this?"
"Princeton." The chaos god spoke with a hint of fright, "what are you doing with the book?"
The assistant looked at the book before he gave a chuckled.
"Well, you know. what I should've done....years ago."
Suddenly, the unicorn's horn began to glow and pointed it towards Yetson.
"No! You can't!" He/she shouted with fear, "I'm possessing Jessica!"
Princeton's horn was glowing more as the chaos god began to backup. For everyone, they were surprised how Yetson was afraid of his own assistant. It didn't make any sense, but somehow, it was working.
"Girls!" John shouted, "You may want to use the elements now."
The ponies looked at each with a concern expression.
"what about Jessica?" Twilight asked.
"Just do it!"
The ponies nodded and began to be in a formation. They closed their eyes as the elements of harmony began to glow. The auras of each cutie mark came out and made a rainbow chain that connected all the necklaces and the crown. From the way Yetson saw this, he/she was even more frightened.
"No!" He/she yelled, "I won't let this happen!"
The chaos god rose his/her hand, but soon, he/she was tied up by Zerj and John's magic ropes. Yetson tried to get out, but he/she couldn't do it because up to this point, Princeton shot a magical beam at him/her. He/she began to shake like he/she was possessed by a monster and in a matter of seconds, Yetson was taken out of Jessica, only to reveal his true form.
Yetson looked like a spirit of a human male. His eyes were hazel, his hairstyle was short and brown, and had a necklace that looked like a magical sword. His overall appearance looked like a middle age man with young looks.
John and Zerj placed Jessica safely on the ground as the elements shot their rainbow beam at Yetson. The beam wrapped around the spirit like a tornado until he was no longer visible. Yetson cried out once more before the rainbow beam exploded. John, the two unicorns, and Spike covered their eyes for a moment and saw what was left. They only saw the broken pieces of the necklace on the floor. Yetson was nowhere to be seen.
"We did it..." said Zerj, "After all these years, he is gone."
Then, the element bearers was placed on the ground and looked at one another in joy.
"Justice...has been served."
"Aw yeah." Rainbow Dash cheered, "Equestria is saved once again."
"This calls for a party." Pinkie waved her forelegs in the air.
"Uhh, guys." said Applejack, "I hate to break it to ya, but we still need to help the ponies before this ship explodes into bits."
"Don't worry my little ponies." said a voice, "You all have plenty of time."
"Discord?" wondered Rainbow Dash.
"Eeyup." He appeared in front of them, "You all have three minutes to get off this ship. And the fact that I got my powers back. I'm so excited."
"Well congratulations, you're not using it for chaos." said Twilight.
"My, my. Assuming things already. Just to let you know, I released the prisoners the moment I got my powers in an empty field. So that's that."
"All at once?"
"Well, I gave them parachutes and they all jumped."
"Anyway" Zerj walked towards Discord, "Go tell Princess Celestia that Yetson is done for and the ship is about to explode."
"Very well. I see you ponies later," The god of chaos then disappeared.
Then, John noticed Jessica was waking up. He flew down right next to her.
"What happened?" she asked.
"It's a long story." said John.
She looked at him and saw his wings.
"You got wings!?"
"Yeah. I do."
