John woke up the next morning fully re-energized and feeling very happy. He’d finally managed to get the ponies in town to accept him. He had also finally managed to get his clothes washed last night, another bonus. Overall, things were going great for him.

"Morning Twilight. Morning Spike," John spoke happily.

"Morning John," Twilight responded with a smile, "You look happy today."

"You bet."

John sat down on the chair and made himself comfortable.

"I hope you like eggs." said Spike.

John nodded, feeling slightly childish as he did.

***

After breakfast, John decided to travel around town and just being happy to everyone. He walked by ponies every second, and he waved at them all, skipping like a schoolgirl. The human was happy and so was everypony else too. Eventually, John came across Pinkie Pie, the one who made the party.

"Good morning, Pinkie Pie!" John cheered.

"Morning John," Pinkie replied, "You're in a good mood."

"I am!" He grabbed her front hooves and spun her around, ignoring the looks of confusion from the ponies surrounding them.

"Wow! You are really, really happy!"

“I know, right?” John laughed, as he stopped spinning and returned the pink pony to the ground. Pinkie Pie stumbled around in a daze before dropping onto her haunches as John continued on his meandering.

“I'll see you later John,” said Pinkie Pie.

“See ya!” John called as he walked away.

Wow! I feel so happy. Nothing can't ruin it, John thought.

As the gay human skipped around the town for about five minutes, he began to notice ponies headed towards the way to the town's square. At first, he only saw a few heading that way, but eventually all the ponies he saw were running past him. Despite his carefree attitude, he decided to go see what the commotion was all about.

When he arrived at the square, he saw a large wagon that looked like some kind of mobile home, next to which was a massive cage that was covered in an equally massive cloth. He made his way to the front of the crowd to get a better vantage point. Once he had positioned himself at the head of the audience, a blue unicorn mare began to bombastically address the audience.

"Greetings, Ponyvillians," the unicorn spoke, "It is I, the Great and Powerful Trixie. I have returned to show you more tricks that will bedazzle and entertain!"

Suddenly, the portable home was transformed into a stage, accompanied by a short firework show. John looked around at the crowd and noticed unamused, slightly hostile expressions on all the ponies’ faces.

"Now that I’ve got your attention, The Great and Powerful Trixie has heard rumors of a creature calling himself a ‘human’ who has taken up residence here in Ponyville," Trixie continued, "Where is this human?"

She made a show of scanning the audience, before planting her gaze on John, who stood directly in front of her.

"Wonderful!"

"Trixie!" John heard Twilight’s voice in the distance.

Twilight and the rest of the gang arrived and went in front of John.

"If it isn't Twilight Sparkle, my old nemesis, and her friends," Trixie flauntingly brushed her mane off her shoulder, before continuing in a sarcastic tone, "How odd to see you here."

"Same thing goes for you," Rainbow Dash said, hostilely.

"You know her?" John asked.

"Eeyup," Applejack replied, "She came to Ponyville before and told lies to everypony that she's powerful and how she defeated an Ursa-Major."

"Not to mention, she humiliated us." said Rarity as she looked at her dark blue mane.

"Until Twilight eventually showed Trixie who's boss," Rainbow Dash went towards Twilight, "Right Twilight?"

Before the purple unicorn could answer, Trixie cleared her throat loudly to get attention.

"True you may say, but I'm not only here for that." Trixie spoke. "I'm also here for him."

She pointed her hoof at John, who raised an eyebrow in surprised confusion.

"What do you want with me?" He queried.

"I want to challenge you, to see how good you are."

"Challenge... me?" John tilted his head sideways. "If it's about magic, I’m sorry to have to tell you that I can’t use magic."

"That's fine with me," Trixie once again brushing her mane away.

John looked at his friends, noticing their frustrated expressions. He could tell that Trixie had caused some kind of trouble the last time she had been in Ponyville. He then looked back at the unicorn.

"Well Trixie, I say that you come a long way to get here," John spoke with confidence, "But, I have to say no."

Trixie, suddenly, looked away from her hooves and turned to the human.

"What!? You can't deny this challenge!" exclaimed Trixie.

"I just did."

Just like that, John started to walk away, as everypony watched him go.

"Trixie is not satisfied what you're doing! Don't be a coward, face me!"

The human kept on going.

"You may be a hero in this town, but I'm better than you, human! Joining the army and being all this and that, that's all lies. You aren’t brave! You don’t even have the courage to accept this little challenge!" Trixie continued. "Some pathetic creature you are, your father would be ashamed of you!"

John stopped dead in his tracks. He turned to face Trixie, radiating cold hard fury.

"Don't you dare talk about John like that!" Spike yelled, indignantly, "He has done more courageous things in his life than you could even hope to aspire to!"

The magician pony gave a look to the dragon.

"Like a fighting in a war in his world? That's nothing," laughed Trixie, "If you want real evidence to his cowardice, just take a look at how he can’t even face the Great and Powerful Trixie."

Trixie turned to look at John, noticing that he was only about a foot away from her. The look on his face was filled with enough rage and hate, it would have caused the most hardened of humans to quail in fear. Trixie, however, knew nothing of the human world, and did not know what a man with such a look on his face would be known to do.

"I accept your challenge," the human venomously growled.

"Good," said Trixie.

All the ponies gathered around as John and Trixie began their challenge. The day started off so smoothly for the human. Now, it was beginning to look like bad one.

"Show me what are good at," said Trixie, radiating smugness, "Anything you could do, I can do better."

John thought about what can he do to show Trixie who he was. There was one thing, but he put that aside for another one.

"Give me a piano." John demanded.

Within a second, Pinkie Pie brought a piano out of nowhere.

"Thanks Pinkie Pie."

John sat himself down on the bench and began to play Fur Elise by Beethoven. Ponies began to cheer as he played on the piano. They hadn't had a clue that John could play. John was a legit player.

After the song was done, the crowd cheered more as Trixie hummed contemplatively.

"If you’re good playing the piano, I might as well be giving it a wrap."

Her horn glowed as the piano began to make random noises. John stepped back as the piano continued to make noises. Then the keys began to float and wrapped around John.

"Hey! You can't do that." said John.

"The challenge is who's best at what. I'm good at magic," said Trixie, "and now, you’re out of tune."

John began to spin around for about a minute. Then he was placed on the ground. Trixie laughed evilly.

"I guess I win," said Trixie.

John was let loose by Twilight and he got up. He was dizzy, but angry. He walked towards Trixie and gained his balance.

"Challenge is not over ‘till I give up." said John.

"Alright. Try something else." said Trixie.

John thought for a moment and spoke. "Give me a guitar."

Again, Pinkie Pie brought it out of nowhere.

"Thanks."

How does she does it? John thought.

He tuned the guitar and strummed it till it was the tuning was perfect. John began to play that one song he liked so much.

Shortly after he stopped, ponies cheered like tweenaged girls who went to see Justin Beiber in person. They never thought that John could sing. Trixie was amazed, but she kept her attitude.

"You may be able to sing a song with some attitude, but you don't have the skills to do this," said Trixie, as her horn began to glow.

The guitar started to glow, float, and played a soft melody. John looked at the guitar closely and with no warnings, the strings snapped from the pin bridge. The strings slashed John's face as the guitar was being destroyed. John take a few steps back and covered his with his hands as ponies gasped by this actions.

"So much for him. He's beginning to cry." mocked Trixie followed by a laugh.

Ponies looked at John and she was wrong. He was furious. He uncovered his face and revealed something that ponies gasped in horror. His face had six stripes that were blood red, but not bleeding.

John decided that he had had enough with this nonsense. His thoughts returned to the state they had been in when Trixie had first insulted his father. She still had that rude smug expression as John walked closer to her.

"Are you going to admit defeat, or what?" asked Trixie.

"Oh no. I have one more talent in mind that will leave everypony here stunned, including you," said John angrily.

"Let's see it. Then I can do better at whatever you're going to do."

John took a few steps closer to Trixie, until he was directly in front of her. He looked at the ponies and back to Trixie. He was grinning madly, and Trixie was confused by his smile.

"Why are you smiling?" asked Trixie.

John points his finger to the sky behind her. Trixie turned her head and saw nothing. Just as she turned back to him, he punched the unicorn in the face. The ponies stood perfectly still in stunned silence. John had been correct with his assumption of their reaction.

The punch made Trixie fall to the ground. She was in pain from the punch. Just before she could get up, John grabbed her by the cape and pulled her face to his.

"That's for leaving the marks on my DAMN face!" said John angrily.

He punched her again with more force.

"That's for talking negative about my dad, you cunt!"

The ponies gasped at the vicious cursing.

John raised his right hand as Twilight came forward to the situation.

"That's enough!" Twilight cried.

"Why?" asked John.

"Look at her."

John looked at her and saw her in tears. She had a black eye and had moved her hooves in front of her face, trying to block the next blow. He lowered his fist, but he held on to her.

"Let her go," Twilight continued.

John glared indignantly at Twilight.

"I will, if she does two things." said John. "She must apologize for insulting my father, and admit defeat, right here in front of everypony, and whatever is in that cage," He shifted his glare back onto Trixie’s quivering form, “Do it, or I’ll put another bruise on your face.

Trixie was shaking in fear as she spoke, "I... I..."

John squeezed the cape tighter.

"I... I..."

Suddenly, a bright flash of light caused John to let go of Trixie. Everypony screamed as the human blinked furiously to regain his sight. When he did, Trixie wasn't in front of him anymore. She was by the cage. He looked at her and noticed something about Trixie the was different from a minute ago.

She was glowing red like the Crusaders had in the schoolhouse.

"What's going on?" asked Rainbow Dash, "Why is Trixie glowing like that?"

"I will not admit defeat, human," said Trixie in that same, multi-toned voice from the schoolhouse, "However, I have a surprise for you."

Trixie uncovered the cage that everypony had wondered and revealed what was inside it. A gargantuan bear, it’s fur was a pale purple color that somehow was transparent. White stars dappled it’s coat, most noticeably, the giant star adorning the beast’s forehead. It’s teeth were longer than John was tall, and each one was pearly white, and sharper than any blade. Worst of all, it was awake, and very angry looking.

"Since the big bad human is strong enough to punch me, let's see if he can handle this Ursa-Major." said Trixie.

Then she opens the cage and got on its head.

"Let's go Ursa-Major. Show this human your wrath."

The Ursa-Major roared so loud that windows of nearby houses shattered, and all the ponies in the crowd fled in terror. The only ponies who stayed were Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy, and Spike.

"Is that Ursa-Major looks like?" asked Spike in fear.

"I'm afraid so." said Twilight in despair.

To be continued...

Now!

The tremendous Ursa-Major roared with all its might. The creature was so big that its head blocked the sun out from the square. It was unimaginable for the ponies in Ponyville.

Trixie laughed evilly as she began to talk.

"Months ago, I went to the Everfree forest to find something that was extraordinary and scary. I thought a Ursa-Minor will do, but when I saw this Ursa-Major, I knew I had to take it. So I captured it and since then, it has been my faithful pet. And now that we're here, I'm going show you why you should not mess with the Great and Powerful Trixie."

The beast roared more loudly than before. John, alongside with the six other ponies and Spike, were frightening by the size of the Ursa-Major (About 13 stories high). John immediately took out his knife and made a few steps forward. How could John even hope to defeat this tremendous beast with his small knife?

"What are you waiting for, hmm? Attack us...if you can," mocked Trixie.

John stood there and made no movement. He was too afraid to attack it.

"I thought so." Trixie continues. "Alright Ursa-Major, show this foalish creature what you're made of."

The Ursa-Major raised it’s massive left front leg high into the sky. The beast let loose an earth shaking growl as it raised its arm up into the air. Within a second, the beast's paws shot towards John at terrifying speeds. John barely managed to dive out of the way of the monster’s paw as it crashed into the ground. The pounding of the enormous paws shook the earth with enough force to register as a 4.0 earthquake on the richter scale.

After the earthquake, the emergency alarm was set off. Ponies began to scream and run about in panic. The element bearers watched in horror as the dust cloud from the Ursa-Major’s strike began to settle.

"Twilight, we have to do something! John will be killed if we don’t," said Rarity in despair.

"I'm thinking," said Twilight.

"Well, ya better hurry it up, ‘cause that Ursa-Major is gettin’ ready to do another ground-pound," said Applejack.

The Ursa-Major had already begun to raise it’s right front leg, the one closest to the still prone form of John.

Twilight closed her eyes and furrowed her brow in thought, suddenly, an idea sprang into her mind.

"I’ve got it! Rarity, Applejack, Pinkie Pie. You girls go escort everypony out of town. Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash will come with me. Spike stay here and if anything gets out of control, contact the Princess."

"Got it," replied Spike.

"Alright girls, lets go."

The six split into two groups, and head off in different directions. One group went to help the ponies, while the other went off to the Everfree Forest.

Where the hell are they going?! John thought, as he dodged the second blow from the Major.

"I guess your friends don't want to see you get defeated after all." said Trixie.

"That's not true!" yelled Spike. "John will not be defeated!"

John looked at Spike and gave a smile for saying that.

"Yeah. I will defeat you. No matter what," said John, his words only slightly more confident than he was.

"We will see about that," said Trixie with an evil grin.

John grabbed a stone from the ground and flung it up at the Ursa-Major. It didn’t even seem to notice the rock striking it’s foreleg.

Nothing seems to phase it, John thought, It’s only weak spots are it’s eyes, but they’re way too high up for me to hit with only my throwing arm.

John was suddenly struck with an idea.

"Spike, get me some fireworks." said John.

"Why?" asked Spike.

"So I can blind the beast and Trixie."

"Okay, but it'll take about a while to get them."

"Then you better go now, so you can get back soon."

Spike ran as fast as his tiny legs could carry him, as John tried to buy him more time.

Meanwhile, Twilight, Rainbow Dash, and Fluttershy headed towards the Everfree Forest.

"So what are we looking for?" asked Rainbow Dash.

"We're looking for an Ursa-Minor." replied Twilight.

"Umm, I don’t think that’s a really good idea," said Fluttershy shakingly.

"Sorry, but we need to stop the Ursa-Major. Otherwise, we're dead meat."

Back at town's square, John was out of objects to throw. He looked around and all the stuff were broken or crushed. He heard heavy breathing and fast footfalls coming from behind him, he dove behind a house, and saw spike running towards him with a box in his arms.

"Here, these are...the only...fireworks...we have...for...this town." Spike said, panting heavily.

John opened it and there were a lots of rockets.

"Perfect." said John. "Now set them up and make sure they're aimed at the head."

"Okay."

“Hey! Stop ignoring me!” came a shout from above.

John and Spike ran from another massive blow from the Major, the missed strike crushing the house they had been hiding behind.

“Go!” John whispered as he gave the baby dragon a shove to give him a head start.

The sun began to set as John ran about the square, picking up various ruined objects, and flinging them as high as possible at the rampaging Major. The Major reared on to it’s hind legs, once again stretching to it’s maximum thirteen story height.

“Give it up, human! admit that I’ve bested you!” shouted Trixie from her position on the Major’s head.

"John, I'm finished!" exclaimed Spike.

"Light them!" said John.

Spike moved to do as he was told.

"Wait!" yelled Twilight.

"Now!!!"

Spike lit up the rockets as Twilight and them came with the Ursa-Minor. Trixie was distracted by the strange new arrival to the fray, and was unaware of the rockets coming after her. Numerous colorful explosions occurred directly in front of the Ursa-Major’s face. Trixie screamed and fell off its head. Rainbow Dash swooped in and caught her as the beast made a few steps back and fell on its back. A tremendous earthquake, more powerful than any the Major had yet made was unleashed; as the Ursa-Major flattened a great swathe of buildings with it’s gargantuan body.

As for Trixie, she wasn't glowing anymore. John sighed in relief. She wasn't being controlled anymore.

"John! What were you thinking!?" yelled Twilight.

John looked at Twilight and saw the anger in her eyes. John was a bit confused. Why isn't she happy?

"Me and Spike stopped Trixie and the Ursa-Major." said John.

"Yeah, it was awesome," said Spike.

The look on Twilight face was still mad.

"Why are you upset?" John finally asked.

"Look." Twilight points to the baby Ursa. It was crying.

John looked at the Ursa-Major and it was lying there. No movement at all. He began to walk towards the beast and it was breathing. It was just knocked out. John looked back the others and walked towards them.

"Ursa-Major is not dead," said John.

"How do you know?" asked Rainbow Dash.

"Bring the Ursa-Minor to its mother."

The ponies seemed confused.

"Do as I say and watch."

The ponies nodded and brought the Ursa-Minor to its mother. The baby began to lick it's mother head. The mother opened its eyes and saw her baby. A smile came on her face and got up. She carried the baby and walked towards the Everfree forest.

The ponies was in total shocked by this action. They looked at John and he was smiling. Twilight then gave a gentle smile as the others was surprise.

"How did you know that the Ursa-Major was alive?" asked Applejack.

"Easy, it was breathing," replied John.

Then Spike began to hop around in joy.

"What are you doing?" asked Twilight.

"We took down the Ursa-Major. We took down the Ursa-Major," Spike sang cheerfully.

The ponies began to laugh as the ponies came to town's square. They began to cheer for John and Spike. John looked around and saw that the ponies of Ponyville clapped, stomped, and shouted for him. He was now trusted by the ponies of Ponyville.

During the cheerfully celebration.

"Wait! What are we going to do with her?" Rainbow Dash asked.

John stared at Trixie. She was still knocked out. So John ordered everypony to be silence. Then, Rainbow Dash placed Trixie by John. John poked and woke up Trixie.

"What happened? Did I win?" wondered Trixie.

"Nope. You lost." said John with pride.

"Huh? There's no way that you defeated me."

"Really? Then where's you Ursa-Major?"

Trixie went towards the cage. "Well it's right...wait. Where's is it?" said Trixie angrily.

John explained Trixie what happened.

"And so, you were controlled and I stopped you and the Ursa-Major."

"Ahem" said Spike.

"And Spike helped."

"But I was going to do stunts with it." said Trixie.

"Sorry, but the thing that possesed you had other plans."

Trixie looked at the ground sadly. She was defeated by a human. It was worse than the last time she was defeated by Twilight. Because of this surprise result, she began to walk away slowly in shame.

"Trixie." said John.

She stopped and turned around.

"Quit being a show off."
