Jason Voorhees Vs. Matt Cordell: The Club Against The Machete

The friendship express sped down the tracks,  smoke emitted from the train in puffs. The friendship express was always the way to go for all ponies to get to one place or the other. Always has it been used by the six elements bearers who in an emergency embark to Canterlot. However they bring along a new member of thier circle, one who was reformed, after nearly rewriting history. She was Starlight Glimmer a unicorn who thought equality was the answer to true friendship. She sat next to Twilight Sparkle discussing their sudden request by Celestia to appear in Canterlot at once. All four of the six sat close to one another all except Fluttershy who sat at the end of the Train car, staring lost in thought at the window. Rarity was absent as well, she left for Canterlot to check up on her boutique there days prior

Fluttershy's earlier experience was still fresh in her mind, that horrid beasts face still staring at her and roaring, she realized what might have happened to Noteworthy and Blue Jay. She held back tears as much as she could. The only peace in her mind was Jason. He saved her from the beast even if he did kill it violently, she has seen the victims of manticores and knew if he hadn't shown up. She tossed that thought aside, she was alive thanks to Jason. Hours after Jason left Rainbow Dash came for her talking about an emergency at Canterlot and the princesses needing thier help. Next thing she knew she was in the train heading there.

"Shy, you okay", Rainbow Dash asked out of the blue bringing Fluttershy back.

"I'm just tired Rainbow, I ummm didn't get much sleep last night", She lied.

"Your animal friends again huh", Rainbow added knowing how many animals Fluttershy attends to in her house.

Fluttershy only nodded before looking out the window again.

"Is there something else that's messing with you, is it that monster Celestia wrote about before", Rainbow said as Fluttershy looked more disturbed rather then tired, Rainbow Dash might not be much for all the touchy stuff but she knew her friends especially Fluttershy.

"Really Rainbow Dash, I'm just tired", That's all she said to her.

"Well okay, I'm just going over to Twilight so she can full me in on this big emergency. I'll be right back", Rainbow Dash for up and walked away.

Should she tell them about what happened early, maybe not. If this is a real emergency then she wouldn't want to distract her friends from it because it could very well be the fate of Equestria like it almost always has been. She observed the car train, all her friends were in front of her mingling or discussing the mission if this was one any ways. I'm the other side sat different ponies, all whom she knew save for one or two. Bon-Bon, Rose, Raindrop, just to name a few.

Jason has been walking for hours again but not in the forest, walking along train tracks that flowed up around a mountain. He's been following a tugging sensation from the city that hangs in the mountain which just recently has become surrounded in red, it grew stronger as it happened. Jason has no other leads to his home so this was as good as anything.

The crow stayed perched on his shoulder her head twitched ever so often, with the occasional chirp from her. Jason didn't mind the crow only when it pecked at him. When the red sphere appeared around the city it appeared alarmed but Jason couldn't know for sure but he didn't really need to know, his only objective it to go back home and punish those who sent him away, and those who hurt him.

The train tracks rattled but Jason already knew what was causing it. A train approaches in the distance as Jason stopped to observe, then the train zipped by rather fast. He saw ponies inside for the time that the train passed, he saw a familiar yellow mare inside. He tread forward.

Fluttershy seemed to be the only one to have noticed Jason outside, the train did pass him fast but she saw him clear as day while everypony else kept mingling.

Rainbow Dash had returned. "Well, Twilight seems to be just as in the dark as us about the problem in Canterlot but she says that Celestia wrote that it was important. Twilight said it in a different way but it was just a bit too egghead to say normally", Rainbow Dash said sitting herself down next to Shy. "I guess we'll have to find out when we get there. Seriously Fluttershy are you okay you're not normally this shy", Rainbow Dash had a worried face.

"I-I j-just can't talk about it right now, I-", Fluttershy got interrupted by the door suddenly flinging open with the conductor looking at the ponies with panic.

"Princess! you b-better have a look at this. I-It's about Canterlot.", he explained nervously before  heading back to the locomotive engine room. Twilight and her friend all looked at each other with confusion before Twilight stood up from the seat and head towards the front of the train followed by Spike.

Twilight stood in shock, her eyes widened at the sight that was Canterlot but what she saw was the city seemingly encased in a dark red spherical barrier that obscured most of the city within, and the silhouettes of buildings that could be seen were distorted behind the red sphere. Twilight and Spike visibly trembled as the sphere had an uncanny feeling to it the longer they stared.

"What is it Twilight", Spike spoke frightened.

"I don't know Spike, but if this is what Celestia was talking about then we can't stop now. We just have to be cautious about it", Twilight didn't expect this but if the fate of Equestria is in the balance then she must face this. The Red sphere grew larger as they approached the city entrance, she gulped at the sight of it with the eerie feeling increasing.

"Should I stop the train Princess," The conductor said.

"No, the barrier looks intangible. So we should be okay and easily be bypassed", Twilights words didn't ease the conductor's bad feeling about all this but he pressed forward.

With the train maintaining its speed and the barrier towering over. Whatever this is, it wasn't meant to keep anypony from entering as the train passed by the barrier with ease with only the typical surge that happened when passing a magical barrier. Once inside, everything was normal as if nothing happened. As the train came to a stop at the Canterlot train station, hissing as it came to a full stop.

Twilight and friends exit the train followed by the rest of the passengers who looked in awe at the barrier as they stood in front of the station. From inside the barrier everything looked rather clear as if Canterlot wasn't encased in anything the only sign of the barrier being there was the red tint of it on the sky but it didn't hinder the sun's light. It reminds Twilight of the protection spell that her brother had placed when they came to visit for the wedding, that ended with the changing invasion. She had hope it wasn't that again but soon Twilight would figure out that this is much worse.

"Twilight! Twilight! What's with the big red bubble surrounding Canterlot is it to protect against another bad guy or bad guys or a monster, or maybe a evil monster ", Pinkie Pie asked hopping next to Twilight.

"It looks an awful lot like the spell your brother had placed in Canterlot before", Applejack spoke from behind who was staring up at the barrier, holding her hat in place as she did. "Ya really don't know what's going on Twilight", Applejack trotted over to her friends.

"I wish I did, but Princess Celestia only wrote that it was an emergency, that the fate of Equestria hangs in the balance. That's all", Twilight assured her friends. She observed the passenger ponies all still staring at the barrier. Not many came aboard this train as they needed it to get to Canterlot fast about four or so other ponies boarded not excluding the conductor. Using her Princess status she managed to get this train moving faster out of Ponyville but out of schedule.

As she pondered Twilight noticed the lack of noise from the station and the city itself, it was eerie to not hear the usual hussle and bustle of the city, or just not hearing anything in general disturbed Twilight. Spike stayed close to her, he seemed shaken up. "Spike are you alright", she asked.

"I don't like this at all Twilight. My whole body's telling me that something bad has happens", This didn't settle well with Twilight who believed that Spike was right about something bad happening. Twilight thought the worse in this situation, had they been to late.

"Princess, could you care to explain What is going on?", One of the passengers approached her, a stallion who like the rest were curious and confused with the situation. With his question asked, other ponies joined in, they badgered Twilight with questions from left to right about everything.

"Yeah, like what's with the red barrier," a mare said.

"Why is nopony here!", another said.

"Is Canterlot under attack again, Is it the changing again, or something new", Bon Bon said.

"I-I don't know what's going on! I don't know what this barrier is for! and I don't know why nopony else is here!", Twilight exclaimed visibly more distressed now as everypony stopped thier questioning.

"It's alright Twilight we'll find out what's going on from Celestia once we see her", Starlight assured her.

*Crash!*

Everypony jumped at the sound. The sound of glass smashing came from inside the station. The huge glass windows showed nopony inside the walls of the building but with caution Twilight lead everypony inside hoping to find the culprit and some answers.

Inside the train station wasn't very consoling as things looked scavanged as trash bins were knocked over, various trash littered the floor, light fixtures weren't working only one but it constantly flickered. This gave a creepy feel to all the ponies. Some began to wonder around the abandoned station lookong for any other pony. Twilight had found the source of the sound, a broken floor vase.

"Helloooo! Anypony home!", Pinkie shouted much to the dismay of nearly eveypony.

"Pinkie! Please don't yell like that now. We don't know whats out there yet", Fluttershy said frightened of the current situation.

"Fluttershy's right, we wouldn't want to draw to much attention until we figure out the problem", Starlight concurred while examining the scene.

Twilight had left the group exploring a part of the station reserved for employees only, a sort of break room. It was just as silent in the room only the faded talk of the ponies behind was audioable but Twilight knew something was here as she saw canned food litter the room some recently opened. She stared at the dim lit room, standing at the door just incase. She mouthed something before speaking, "Anypony there", only silence awnsered. She almost said another word before her name was called she turned around and walked back in the room but as she did she was tackled hard to the ground by a royal guard stallion from the room.

"Are ye friend or monster!", he yelled pinning Twilight to the floor. She couldn't answer as Rainbow Dash tackled the stallion off her.

"Whats the big idea hurting Twilight like that", Rainbow said getting herself in a defensive position after sending the stallion sliding on the floor of the station.

The rest of her friend and the passengers came to Twilights aid with Spike helping her up. They all faced the royal guard who rose up from the floor, shaking his head.

"Wait, wait, wait!", a light brown mare galloped in from the room placing herself infront of the stallion. "We, I mean he wasn't thinking straight", The mare awkwardly chuckled. She was an earth pony with short messed up dark gold hair. "My name's Silver Lance and he's Sword Slab", the mare introduced themselves before aiding the stallion.

"Care to explain what that was about", Starlight said harshly.

"Look he hasn't been himself since all this started, okay", She said with an annoyed tone.

"Since what started," the lavender alicon said regaining herself.

"All of this, the dragon, the barrier, the monsters, then the screams", she paused closing her eye shut lamenting. The other ponies stood in shock mostly the other civilian ponies.

"So is this the reinforcements or something, because I can't think of any other reason Princess Celestia would call for all of you especially you Princess Twilight, I would expect her to leave you out of this nightmare. Do you have the Elements with you atleast", she stressed but the silence was all she needed for an answer.

"Hold up there missy, whats all this about. Whats happend," Applejack wasn't to keen of being left out of a situation she's in.

"You all really don't know what is going on, Well, the best I can put it is. The end of Equestria has started in the capital"

Regalia sat on Celestia's throne, her white hood still conceals her face only her muzzle poked out. She waited patiently on the throne levitating a bowl of fruit, throwing grapes in her mouth one at a time. With only hours away from the plans finale, she had nothing left to do but wait for the "Bearers of Harmony" to come and try to save what is gone. She chuckled to herself, as the thought of them trying to save this city and failing.

*Swoosh*  *Thud*

Wyvern entered the throne room through the same hole he created. Landing and then approching Regalia. His arrival meant that they had already made it in the city. Again Regalia chuckled lifting herself off the throne throwing the bowl of fruit to ground.

"Come on...I know exactly who will take the case. After all it is his job to bring in wanted ponies, so to speak", she said to Wyvern before leaving the room with a sinister smile.

Silver had explained all that has happened to Canterlot in only a matter of hours. After a dragon had attacked Canterlot Castle, a red barrier encased the city. Then these monsters came pouring in from blue swirling portals that appeared around the city. They began to slaughter everypony, it was a true nightmare to have seen it all. The screams were heard nonstop for hours fading as the day went by with an occasional scream from an unfortante soul who was found here and there. She and Sword Slab hid in the station for a majority of the massacre. They would hear some of the monsters outside every now and then. It drove them nearly crazy wondering when they were next. They were alive but it didn't feel to good to have seen friends die, to have see such thing nopony should ever see.

"Then you all appeared and well here we are", She finished hanged her head in sorrow. They were all shaken up from her story, some were in complete shock not moving at all, with Pinkie losing some of her color, Rainbow simply looked at the floor, Applejack wore a sad but stern look, Fluttershy had her eyes closed holding back tears, Starlight lamented and Twilight cried. A once great city was left dead, who wouldn't die a little inside. What really got Twilight was the fact that her parents and Rarity are out there somewhere in a now dangerous city. It was quiet once again, they all tried to adjust but that was no easy task.

"So what now?", Pinkie solemnly asked.

"I would suggest laying low until all this blows over, if it ever does. That is your only option as that barrier you see out there won't let anypony leave trust me we've tried going though", Silver stated her voice sounding hurt.

"We can't just stay here, one of our friends is out there", Applejack protested.

"She's already died! But if you want to get out there be my guest, more food for us here", Sliver said harshly.

"Thats just uncalled for. What makes you think she's dead", Rainbow joined in.

"Have you ponies not heard a word of what i've just said! Blood thirsty monsters are roaming every corner of Canterlot! Your friend along with everypony else is dead, including us. Only a matter of time before they find us, and thats it!", Silver Lance anger rose at the stubborness of these ponies. Death is at the front door and they want to open it, talk about idiocy.

The argument only caused more sadness as Pinkie was now a dark pink color only her mane was still puffy. Fluttershy completly hid behind her hair but Twilight seemed to have had enough of this. She wiped her tears away, took a deep breath in and exhaled.

"Enough! Arguing about whether Rarity is alive or not isn't helping. Silver's right about it being dangerous, that is why we can't just go out with no plan or info about the monsters outside", Twlight stressed about this. They weren't going to just leave Rarity but with no idea of whats out in Canterlot they can't go on a rescue mission. Her friends and Silver calmed down enough for Twilight to ask her question. "What exactly are these monster, Silver", She asked.

"Look Princess, these monster came in all sorts of appearances. Some were huge, some were pony size and others towered over us the only thing they had in common was thier blood lust. You all have no chance against them even if your an Alicorn. I'm sorry okay but the best option is to stay here and hope for the best", She ignored any other questions that Twilight had. She just decided to go and help the others, giving them food and such. Twilight regrouped with her friends.

"So what are we gonna do Twi?", Applejack asked.

"We're not seriously thinking about leaving Rarity out there right?", Rainbow said.

"We can't just go, if those things are out there", Starlight added.

"But Rarity", Pinkie spoke with almost a whisper.

"I know, but what else can we do", Twlight was to say more but a sudden loud bang against the barricaded door of the station stopped her. Everypony stepped back in fright, some began to panic before being silenced by Silver Lance who demanded them to stay quiet unless they wanted to die horribly.

Another bang followed by the debris that blocked the door to shake and give way. Another bang against the door caused it to splinter. They all held thier breaths hoping for the thing to give up and leave and for a time it seem to have. Seconds past and nopony moved to frighten to even breath.

*Crack*

A grimy white gloved arm burst through the door making a gap in the door, it pulled out then banged against the door again until it finally gave way as the door broke into fragments. The ponies shierked as the monster barged in. It was a tall bipedal creature wearing clothes. It wears bloodly black boots with blue pants, a black leather jacket with a light blue collar and tie, on the jacket was a badge that read: City Of New York, Police 4321. The monster's face was repulsive, completely disfigured topped with a police hat.

They were face to face with Matt Cordell AKA The Maniac Cop. He began to beat a club against his palm repeatedly, increasing his intimidation factor.

Nopony moved, as it continued to stand there waiting. For Twilight though she didn't expect the monster to be like the humans of the other world she visited but it was different from them nonetheless.

"For Equestria!", All were surprised by the sudden yell of Sword Slab as he charged at Maniac Cop who with a blink of an eye and a swift movement he lifted Sword Slab up and throttled him with both his hands before violently snapping his neck the sound of which echoed.

Everypony huddled together behind Twilight and her friends in a frenzy. Twilight made sure everypony was with her as she cast a spell that surrounded them in a magenta bubble shield.

Cordell threw the lifeless body of Sword Slab to the side. Prior to noticing the magic barrier he stormed towards the group, slamming against the barrier causing him stagger back. Coming back he raised his club bringing it down with a force so strong it caused the barrier to crack and make Twilight wince. Twilight used more of her energy to restore the barrier.

"Twilight, open a rift in the barrier!", Starlight exclaimed with Twilight opening a small hole in the barrier. Starlight's horn charged up and unleashed a turquoise bolt of magic through the rift striking Cordell in the chest sending him flying, landing with a thud. He however stood right up with no apparent pain caused to him. Starlight shot out another bolt. This time it only stagger him as he approached with little indication that the bolts were hurting him. In advance Twilight closed the gap and continued to hold the barrier up.

"Now, what?", Rainbow said with Cordell striking the barrier again with his club.

If Cordell keeps hitting the barrier Twilight won't be able to hold it for long. Sweat streamed down her face. Each hit caused cracks to form across.

*Squawk!*

Fluttershy was the first to react to the Crow that entered the room, it perched itself on top of the magic barrier. It felt like a load was taken off as Fluttershy knew what Crow this  was and who couldn't be to far behind.

*Squawk!*

The rest glanced at the Crow except Twilight and Cordell. It wasn't until the Crow screeched out that Cordell took notice of the bird, he stopped mid attack. He relaxed his arm and gave a puzzle look. His head followed the Crow as it took off and flew to the other side of the building, perching on the shoulders of Jason, who stood staring at Cordell with a death stare.

"Oh great, another one!", Silver raged. They all felt as if this was the end but Fluttershy knew that Jason was different for if he was monster why save her from one and then care for her.

Cordell clinched his club and turned to face Jason. Cordell rushed towards Jason his club in tow but Jason was the first to attempt an attack, swinging his machete down but Cordell halted jason's slash holding his wrist in mid-attack. Jason tilt his head before Cordell repeatedly bashed Jason's sides with his club. With his free hand Jason delivered a powerful blow to Cordell, staggering him back.

The ponies looked in terror as the two monster attacked one another. Twilight still held up the barrier taking no chance with these things.

The two slashers battled with Jason slashing Cordell's chest, tearing his jacket and flesh. Jason tried another slash but Cordell dodged it giving him an opportunity to strike Jason on the head, before he grabbed Jason by the throat. Lifting him up and tossing him high over his shoulder nearly hitting the ceiling. Cordell with speed that didn't seem his own he pulled out a police pistol and shot mutiple rounds in Jason who landed right on the magical barrier, with the damaged from before the barrier gave way and Twilight collapsed.

Majority of the ponies screamed but stay still out of fear. Fluttershy gave a surprised gasp as Jason lifted himself up from the floor, staring at the ponies who were helping Twilight. He peered over his shoulder to see Cordell charging at him but Jason wouldn't want him getting closer as he flung his machete straight at Cordell, stabbing his shoulder. The machete was lodged in Cordell's shoulder. Just when he attempted to dislodge it, Jason approached him and delivered a powerful punch to his temple sending him to the floor. He then stomped Cordell down and pulled out his machete from Cordell's shoulder. With his machete in hand again he picked up Cordell off from the floor and dug his machete right into Cordell's abdomen, blood gushed out from the wound. Jason push kicked Cordell of his machete.

Matt Cordell rose up from the ground, bringing up his club but this time he revealed the blade that hid underneath, he charged Jason who swung his machete again but Cordell dodged and thrust his blade into Jason, pulled out and back handed him, then with an uppercut of his blade scratched the hockey mask he wore. Another thrust from his blade Cordell dug it though Jason's neck with Jason letting go of his machete he then tried to snap his neck but Jason wasn't having it. He got a hold of Matt's arm and made him pull out the blade then broke Cordell's arm prompting him to release his blade and stumble backwards. His blade was picked back up by Jason who with a swift strong movement shoves the blade up through Cordell's chin and skull. Cordell struggled with his own blade, blood streamed down his neck amd blade. Giving Jason an opportunity to stab him right in his chest, blood leaked out from his mouth. Jason took his machete back as Cordell fell to his knees and slamming onto the floor seemingly dead.

Jason's only respone was breathing heavily taking a moment to relax before swiftly turn to the ponies that stood in shock and fear. Twilight still weak from before she staggered to her hooves trying to create another bubble but wiyh no such luck. Jason side stepped a bolt of turquoise aimed at him, this didn't please him to much. Starlight charged another bolt ready to fire but redirected it as Fluttershy jumped in front of Jason.

"Fluttershy? What do you think your doing, get away from that thing before it kills you", Rainbow exclaimed.

"Jason was just protecting us from that thing", Fluttershy said gesturing at the body of Cordell, she grimaced at the still bleeding body.

"Who's Jason?", Spike asked hiding behind Twilight.

"This is Jason", Fluttershy turned to face Jason who tilt his head.

"H-hold on, you know this thing?", Silver asked puzzled.

"Yes, he umm saved me before. He saved me from another monster", Fluttershy finally told them a bit late though.

"Is that what was bothering before, on the train", Rainbow said with Fluttershy nodding.

"How can we trust this thing from doing to us what he did to that", Starlight pointed at Cordell.

"Because the Crow trusts it and so will I, and he hasn't gone and done anything to us, look at him", Jason stood still listening on to the ponies discussion about him. He really didn't care if they trusted him or not they were not those he looked for. He still needed to find a way home.

"O-ok Fluttershy if what you say is t-true then I believe you when you say we can trust him", Twilight muttered her friends agreed.

"Sure, trust a being from the same place as these things that have been killing us since they came!", Silver disagreed however upon trusting this Jason creature.

"Enough! Arguing won't...get us nowhere. This Jason hasn't done anything to us, if this was truly one of those monster's then he wouldn't just be standing there", Twilight argued. "Fluttershy can he help us find Rarity, we might need him to escort us", Twilight asked.

Fluttershy proceeded to ask Jason if he could help them find there lost friend. Jason wasn't one for helping but after a few pointers from the bird he agreed.

*Squawk* *Squawk* *Squawk*

"She says that he will be willing to help if we can also help him get back home", Fluttershy interpreted the Crows "words" to the group. Seemed simple enough as the friends all agreed to help him.

"Ya got yerself a deal", Applejack spoke for eveypony and Jason simply nodded.

With the body of Cordell on the ground nobody noticed the slight clinching of his fist.

Deep Inside Canterlot

Rarity had been running for her life for the past few hours as monsters flooded Canterlot. She hid in her boutique for the first hour or so before they barged in and attacked, she managed to escape but Sassy Saddle wasn't to lucky. Now Rarity hid inside a closet from a monster that has been recently stalking her. She began to cry as she remembered the blood curdling screams of the city, her mascara ruined even more. She tried to calm herself as she heard the tap tap of the killers footsteps. She can't take this anymore for hours this was the same, her hiding, running and hiding again. In her own mind she failed to notice the lack of noise, she could have sworn she heard the killer outside. For a moment it was silent and Rarity couldn't tell if it was truly gone that is until the heavy breathing came from outside the closet. Rarity tensed up, scared out of her mind.

"Hey, little pony. I know your in there, and I know your scared", it spoke with a smooth raspy voice. "How about I sing you a song to calm you down", it cleared it throat and began to sing. "~Hush little baby don't you cry, mamas gonna buy you a mockingbird!", Rarity screamed as the killer opened the closet door without warning, and yanked Rarity out by her hair. Forcing her to the ground, Rarity got a better look at her tormenter. A bipedal monster wearing a filthy bright red sweater and a hideous baby mask with it's jaw showing and barbed wire wrapped around it. It held a very bloody axe in one hand swaying it back and forth. "What a pretty pony", Rarity continued to cry as he rubbed the back of his hand against her. "Don't worry it will all be over soon enough", Rarity saw as he rose the axe high up in the air ready to strike but it never came as the ground began to shake and from behind came a violent roar that scared even the killer. Though her teary eyes she only saw the outline of a towering beast taller then Celestia herself. It roared again...
