My Little Family

I was waiting for the others to get back, but mane-ly Spike. I still have some stuff to teach him about playing bass. As I was waiting, I heard Twilight calling my name.

"I'm in the library!" I called out. She barged in, and tried to talk, but I couldn't make anything out. "Take some deep breaths, and start over."

She took some deep breaths, and said, "Tirek, Cozy Glow, and Chrysalis are back, and they captured the princesses, the elements, Spike, and Discord!" I always feared the day they’d come back.

"How did they even get Chrysalis?" I muttered.

"What are we going to do?"

"Come with me!" I said. We went to the teleporter room, and warped to my house. "Stand next to me." She did, and I flipped a light switch. A glass case surrounded us.

"Johnny, what's going on?"

"We need special equipment if we're going to take them down. Don't tell anyone about what you see or how you got down here unless it goes through me first, alright?" She nodded. After a few seconds, some doors behind us opened. We walked in, and Twilight was shocked.

"What is all this?"

"Weapons that I’ve taken from all the games I’ve visited, plus some from my world." We were in my armory. There were weapons from a lot of games, like Call Of Duty, Minecraft, and Lego Batman. I got the upgraded Ice Staff, a few gobblegums, Monkey Bombs, Gersh Devices, Juggernog, Speed Cola, Stamin-Up, Electric Cherry, Widow's Wine, Who's Who, PHD Flopper, a tranquilizer gun, smoke grenades, a full diamond suit, my necklace (which I put in my pants), some airhorns, some CD players, some speakers, some tape, and my Butter-sock. I even got Twilight to drink some of Jug. I put most of it in a backpack that was WAY bigger on the inside, except the Ice Staff. "Let's go."

"Where are we going?"

"I'm going to Canterlot. You stay in Ponyville."

I went to the front doors of the castle. I kicked them open, and yelled, "BAM! WHAT?" It was absolutely empty, so I started my plan. As soon as Twilight said that the three were here, I had a plan. I pulled out some airhorns, and the tape. I wore the backpack on the front of me, so I could do this quickly. I set up the speakers to the CD's so that each played a different song really loud. I placed down the first one, and put it on. It played "Man Overboard", and as soon as it started, I ran. I went to another room, taped down the button on an airhorn, threw it in a room, and ran. The first step was to toy with them. I repeated what I did three times, each CD playing a different song (the second one playing "Know Your Enemy", and the third playing "Let Yourself Go"). After I saw them going one way, I went to where they held their prisoners. I made my way down to the dungeons, and as I walked into the room, Starlight said, "Johnny, what are you doing here?"

"I came here to save all of you." I took my staff, and was about to destroy one of the rocks, but I got hit by something. I flew back a few feet, and saw it was the three villains.

"Well, well-" Cozy started, and I shot the staff, but it missed. I took my chance to run out of the room. They followed after me, and we got into the throne room. "Listen, you won't be able to defeat us, so give up now, and we'll treat you extra nice since we don't have anything personal against you." Cozy Glow said.

"I'm not giving up yet!" I yelled, turning around.

"Alright. Hope you're ready!" She shot me with her magic, but I shot the orb with ice, so it froze and hit the ground. They stared in disbelief.

"You still want to go?" I asked. Tirek shot next, and I shot back. The orb also froze and hit the ground. We fought for a couple of minutes, and as I was popping "Cache Back", Cozy Glow shot me, and I flew back a couple feet. They all ran towards me, but what they didn't know is that I was charging up a shot, so when they got close together, I let go. They got surrounded in ice, but it made a bubble around them like one of them had a shield up. I knew I didn't have much time, so I ran as fast as I could.

I ran back down to the dungeons, ran in front of the cage the rest of the elements were in, as well as Spike, said, "I'm sorry if I freeze any of you.", shot the sloo (slime/goo, whatever was keeping them in) to freeze it, and lifted the staff. Someone shot it and it broke. I swung down my hand, only to find just the grip still in my hands. The shattered pieces of the staff were on the ground. "Dude!" The villains stopped in their tracks. "Do you know how hard I worked in the game to get that!? I almost died multiple times, and if I died there, I would have died for real!!"

"Do you truly, honestly think I care?!" He snarled.

"Oh I'm gonna-" Tirek shot me before I could finish, and I blacked out.

I woke up, and saw I was in a cage. I started freaking out, but gained my cool when I remembered "Plan B".

"Oh, look! He finally woke up!" I sat up and saw the three of them walking towards me.

"What do you want?" I hissed.

"We just want to know where Twilight Sparkle is."

"I'm not telling. Try asking nicely." I leered at them, turning to face the bars.

"Johnny, could you please tell us where Twilight is?" Cozy pleaded, with big puppy-dog eyes.

"What would I get in return?"

"Well, maybe we'll let you and your boyfriend be together, and you would get him not dying." Tirek said, then summoning Thorax, as well as an axe.

"No, you wouldn't." I realized I had made a mistake once saying that.

"Would I?" He threw Thorax on the ground, and raised the axe.

"OKAY!" The three of them turned towards me. I sighed, and said, "I don't know where, but the last place I saw her was in Ponyville. She told me that you three were here, then I geared up and came here."

"Alright, since you were nice and gave us details, we'll keep our end of the deal." The sloo disappeared, he threw Thorax in, and the sloo returned. "We'll be back." The three walked away.

"Are you okay?" I asked him.

"Yes."

"Good." I started counting to ten. When I hit ten, I pulled out my necklace, and put it on. I pressed the gem, turned into the Pander, and used my flamethrower to melt the sloo. I ran over to The Mane Six and went to break the crystal. I got stopped by something, so I looked at myself. There was a red aura wall in front of me, which belonged to Tirek.

"Not so fast!"

"Sorry, my flames have a mind of their own."

"What do you mea-" Before he could finish, I opened fire on him (literally). The wall disappeared, and I threw a punch. He grabbed me, and threw me against the wall. I put on "Let Yourself Go" (the explicit version) and ran at him. Cozy Glow shot me back, but that didn't stop me. I landed a punch on him, and Cozy Glow flew at me while shooting beams of magic at me. I then dodged her, tackling Tirek as I went. He shoved me away, and then combined a beam of magic with Cozy and shot it at me. He did a lot of damage to my suit. "Let's finish the job, shall we Cozy?" They both shot me a few more times, and the suit fell apart.

"Any last words?" Cozy asked.

"This isn't over."

"It is." I blacked out as she shot me with magic.

I woke up again in the cell. I tried to think of something to do, something to save the day. I reached behind me to see if I still had my backpack, but obviously, I didn't.

"Yeah, you don't have your backpack. We can't risk you doing anything else. But if you did, it wouldn't matter, because we won. It turns out that the Royal guards found Twilight, and they were bringing her here. So, as we were walking to get out of the dungeons, the guards were bringing her to us. Luckily, that happened, or we would have lost." I didn't even look to see if Tirek was telling the truth. We had lost. It wasn't supposed to turn out this way. The enemies were supposed to lose, like in the ending. But, I guess when I came here, it messed up the timeline, and now they were going to win. This is the one thing that was entirely my fault. I guess I started crying, because Tirek started mocking me and everyone else. Rage started to boil over in my blood and finally, I truly snapped.

"...and now, we will be the most powerful beings in the universe, and no one will stop us, 'cuz you know why? Because we stopped the princes-"

“Shut the fuck up!”

Tirek looked at me, bewildered. Tears pricked at my eyes. “Shut the fuck up already! Everyone already knows you fucking won, no need to rub it in! And everyone knows that it’s all my damn fault! Everyone hates me, and the world about to fucking end and i-it’s all my fault! Why did you- why did I do this to us? I thought I had saved Chrysi! I-I thought she was good and n-now… now she’s with you assholes and you’re going to take over the world! Why?! Why...” My voice wavered as I slumped to the ground, sobbing, head swarming with negative thoughts. Before I knew it, I had fallen asleep on the cold cell floor.

I woke up, expecting to be in the cell, but I was somewhere else. I sat up, and started looking around, and then heard a voice behind me say, "You're awake."

I turned around and saw Chrysalis. "Why am I here?"

"I want to... talk to you."

"I don't want to talk." I said as I scooted to the end of the bed.

"Well, I do. How come you're so upset? I've never seen you like this, and I've never heard you curse."

"Didn't you hear me before? This entire thing is my fault. First, I decided to toy with you, which if I had just came in here, I could have taken the three of you down. Then, I gave up Twilight's location. And because you defeated me, you have my stuff now, which is very powerful. Everyone hates me now. Why do you even care about how I feel?"

"Because I care about you."

"No you don't, stop lying. You're probably trying to make me feel better so you'll have me join you and the other two."

She flew over, and sat next to me. "I do care about you. Why would you think I don't?"

"Well, let's see. You backstabbed me and used me for my love to try and take over the world, and you… you killed Puppet." I took a deep breath to make sure I didn't lose my cool. She sighed.

"I did do those things. I'm sorry, I truly am. You were the first friend that I ever made or had. You were there for me, gave me food, water, shelter, and love. And I backstabbed you. I had a reason for those things, though. I did take your love to take over Equestria, and that's something I can't be forgiven for. But, I wanted you to be with me. I felt that you were an amazing pon- erm, person, and I thought that you deserved more. As for killing Puppet… I know I can't be forgiven for that either, and you probably won't even believe this, but the animatronics came the afternoon that I put you in the cage with Thorax. They tried to convince me that you were a bad person, and they told me they wanted revenge on you. They told me to chop Puppet in half, but when I refused, they threatened to kill me and you, and take over Equestria. I didn't want to lose you after everything else that happened, so that night, I went to get Puppet, and coincidentally, that was the night you put your plan into place. I truly do care about you, Johnny."

I just sat there, not saying a thing.

"You're probably wondering how I even came back. Delilah opened the portal to the Minecraft realm, let me stay with her for a couple of days, and told me… some interesting things. Apparently, there's a show about everypony that's in Equestria in your world."

I started to sweat. I can't believe Delilah actually told her. "I would have told you sooner, but-"

"-You were afraid that we would freak out, and never trust you again?"

"Yeah. How'd you know?"

"Delilah told me you said that. She told us how the three of us would form together and attempt to take over Equestria, but since you came, it would mess up the timeline, and we could succeed. I didn't want to do it, but they threatened me and told me they would kill me if I didn't join. We were told about you through 'Grogar'. When he told us that you almost committed suicide, I acted like I was happy, but I felt really guilty. I won’t ever forgive myself for that." I looked over at her, and there were tears on her face. She had never cried before, so I knew this was genuine. "Since I heard that, I made an oath. I promised myself that I would stop the others, and I would make it up to you. When I found out that your band became the ninth best band in Equestrian History, I was ecstatic for you. And you know what? I'm super glad for you that Twilight adopted you. And while I know I can't be forgiven for what I did, I hope you now know that I'm sorry, super sorry, and I will make it up to you in any I ca-AAAAAHHHH!!" She collapsed on the ground, and lost her armor and color. I looked, and Tirek and Cozy Glow were in the room now, and Tirek had the bell. I dropped to her, and looked for a pulse.

"Don't worry, Johnny. Right now, she's fine, but once we give her a punishment, she won't be." Tirek lifted me and Chrysi, while Cozy had the bell. We were pulled out of the room, and taken back to the dungeons.
