A Mad Man in A Filly's Body
Day 31 - The End Part 2: Taking It All Back
Previous ChapterNext ChapterWhen I woke up I found myself in what looked to be Discord's Dimension. All I could do was sigh.
"Figures this is what my hell would be."
"Not hell."
I then looked to see Discord behind me.
"Discord... I'm sorry for going off the handle like that at you. I was just..."
"There's no need to apologize. I deserved it. I thought what I was doing would be just a harmless prank but I didn't think ahead and now everything's like it is."
"So that's it huh. I'm dead."
"No. The Postal Filly is."
"What."
"You're still alive."
"What?! But that's impossible! I fucking obliterated myself!"
"Look at your hand."
I gave him a "Whatchu talkin bout asshole" look before looking and seeing my tattoo glowing.
"What the?! What the hell's going on?! What did you do to my tattoo?!"
"I didn't do anything."
"Excuse me..."
"That was from the bond you had with your friend."
"... You... you have to be joking... Th... There's no way that was because of my bond with Katie."
"Justin... how much of a friendship did you two have?"
"Well... a... pretty on off one..."
"Did you happen to... get any sort of feelings for her during that time?"
I then realized what he meant. Looking back... he was right. There was just no use in denying it.
"Come to think of it... yeah... I... sort of did have OTHER feelings towards her."
"You were planning on confessing them after graduation weren't you?"
"......."
"Well?"
"Yeah..... I was. Then that princess bitch went and killed me before I could even have a chance."
"That added to all your building anger and hate didn't it."
"I was so mad." I growled, "She took EVERYTHING from me on that day! I just wanted to go fucking postal!"
"And that hate is what gave birth to the creature that became The Postal Filly."
"But what does this have to do with my love for Katie causing my Tattoo to freak out like that?!"
"Haven't you learned anything over the course of this drug trip called an adventure?"
"Honestly I was too busy wondering how much crack the writer was smoking as he clearly made this shit up as he went along."
"Emotions can make all sorts of things happen, they're what drive us to do the things we do. You said you had no regrets when you pulled the pin, but in reality, you did didn't you? You regretted never getting the chance to tell Katie what you really thought of her."
"...yeah..."
"That combined with your desire to protect others from that dangerous girl gave off a chain reaction. You may not know it, but you're lucky you turned out the way you did when you went through the portal. Those cosmetic changes, as well as you going through the portal, changed your DNA structure to be infused with Equestrian Magic from those dyes."
"Why does this not surprise me..."
"Those emotions, combined with your new Equestrian Magic sparred your life."
"You could've just said those dyes, portal freaking out, and the tattoo was Checkov's guns' and I would've gotten ya." I groaned, "So now what? I'm stuck here?"
"No. I think I can actually fix all this."
"What. How?"
"Uh hellooo anybody home?" Discord went as he knocked on my head, "God of Chaos and Disharmony remember? Now watch and-"
"HOLD IT!!!" I shouted
"Hmm?"
"No. You can't. Not yet."
"Huh? Why not?"
"I wanna make a deal."
"I would be shocked, but I'm actually intrigued."
"Those who died... in fact everyone involved in this... they don't deserve to remember all that's happened here... everyone but me. The blood's on my hands. This is all my fault. I should take responsibility for my actions. I know all those murders were done by the Postal Filly, but she came from MY head. MY mind. I'm the only one who should be forced to remember all those atrocities. In fact... when you reset everything, put me into the Human world where Sunset is. Erase my footprint from Equestria. I don't need to go back there after everything I've done. I wanna try to live my life again in the human world. Where I belong."
"You do realize when this deal is made Justin your name and everything about you will be changed right?"
"That's a risk I'll take. What do you say Mixed up Mistake?" I asked putting a hand out to shake
"You've got yourself a deal, Mary Sue." Discord said shaking it
"....afterward, Discord did as he said. No one remembers the events ever happening. Only I do. No one in Equstria probably remembers me either. It's probably for the best anyways. When I woke up I looked like how I did when I arrived in the human world, only my tattoo was no longer on my hand or body for that matter, but on the top right of my shirt. There was a journal next to me completely blank except for who it said it belonged to on the front cover 'Justice Shield'. Sunset had found me wandering around town and took me in as her roommate. She even enroled me into CHS since I didn't have a school degree on me as much as I secretly hated it. Outside of Sunset, I've yet to make some friends there, but I know I'm gonna make some eventually. You can't avoid friendship in a school that promotes it after all. What'll happen to me now? I'm not certain. But for some reason whenever I look into a mirror, I swear I can see The Postal Filly look back at me and laugh, almost like as if she's waiting for her chance to try and take me over once again."
I then took a sip of some soda before continuing to write in my journal.
"But I hope to god that's just my PTSD acting up. For now? This is another chapter of my life finished. This is Justin Courtny... no... Justice Shield and this has been another chapter in my ongoing struggle to survive."
I closed the book and put it back into my backpack. Aroud this time the bell for first period rang and I headed on to my classes, but not before taking a stop to the bathroom to wash up. Splashing some water on my face I dried up and looked in the mirror. Nothing. Maybe those were just hallucinations after all. But... as I left I thought I heard a laugh that sounded ALL too familiar.
Hehehe hahahahahahaaaaa!
