Author's Note

Let's see how this turns out, and what you all will think of it.

Chapter 39:

Tirek and Cozy Glow put me in my cage, and Chrysalis in the cage with the Mane Six. I lied there, wondering what to do, and I heard some ponies talking.

"Why's she in here? Don't you have any other cages?" Rainbow asked, angrily.

"Why is she in here in the first place?" Twilight wondered.

"Because she was planning on turning on us and helping you escape." Tirek informed them.

There was a pause before I heard Twilight say, "Say that again."

"She was going to help you take us down." There was another pause. I continued laying there, not really caring much, as I thought that it was over now.

"I think that we should show them who is in charge. What do you think, Cozy?"

"I think that is a good idea, and I know exactly who to start with: the one and only 'Princess of Friendship'."

This got my attention. "If you hurt her-" I started, but Tirek cut me off and mocked me saying, "-You'll what? You'll stop us by singing? You aren't going to do a single thing!" He walked over to my cage, and said, "You're a pathetic creature. You don't have any magic or power. You can't do anything."

He walked back over to the cage with the Mane Six, and opened it. I then heard Chrysalis say, "I won't let hurt her."

Cozy said, "Maybe we should punish her as well. That'll show everypony..." He trailed, but I lost my hearing as I got angry, really angry, and blacked out.

Thorax’s P.O.V.

There was a plap sound over near Johnny's cage. This caught my attention, as well as Tirek and Cozy Glow. Johnny was stuch in the goo or whatever was keeping them in, and the two villains started laughing. Then, he did something unexpected and something we thought wouldn't be possible: He pushed himself out from in the goo, and hit the ground. The room went silent as he hit the ground. He was free. Then I noticed two emotions in the air: Fear, which came from the villains; and anger, which came from Johnny. Twilight and Chrysalis were put back in the cage, and Tirek put up the barrier.

"I'm fine with you hurting me, or making fun of me…" Johnny said, standing up and pulling out a sock filled with something.

"Is that a sock?" Chrysalis asked out loud.

"The butter-sock!" I heard Fluttershy exclaim. The elements rushed to the front of their cage to watch.

"...but if you dare bring my friends or family into this, ESPECIALLY MY MOTHER…" He yelled, giving Luna a run for her bits for the best Canterlot Voice. "... YOU BETTER BE PREPARED FOR A FIGHT!!!"

"Listen, I don't know how you got out, or why you feel like you can threaten me, but that's not-"

Thwack!

Johnny swung the sock, and it hit Tirek in the side of the face, and I'm pretty sure I saw a tooth fly out. The room went silent for a few seconds, until Discord cheered, "Get him Johnny!"

"Quiet!" Cozy Glow hissed at him. "You may have a sock and courage, but we have magic!" Cozy lit up her horn, to probably pick Johnny up, but nothing happened. "H-how's that possible? I can't pick him up!"

Johnny started walking towards her, then Tirek said, "But we can still blast him!" He shot a big and powerful beam at Johnny, but he didn't budge. He just turned towards Tirek.

"Looks like this day is getting worse for you." He blew a bubble with a piece of gum, and disappeared.

"W-where d-d-did he go?" Cozy asked, clearly worried.

There was silence for a few seconds, and then Tirek got hit with something. An invisible force attacked them, and I asked, "How is he doing this?"

"Probably "In Plain Sight" or "Idle Eyes". Both are gobblegums that allow people to turn invisible for a certain period of time." Discord informed me, as well as everyone else who was wonder, which was probably everypony.

After thirty seconds, they were badly beaten. He reappeared, and asked, "Do you sur-" only getting so far before he got blasted by both Cozy and Tirek. He flew against the wall, and fell on the ground.

"I'll admit, you are pretty committed to helping your friends and family. But, it's over now." Tirek said.

Johnny got up, and snapped his fingers. The pieces of the staff he had before appeared. They connected together, and he grabbed the staff. The two villains and everypony else were in shock.

"You're right. For you at least." He shot the staff, and they got surrounded in a snowstorm. They tried to get away, but froze before they could. Then, he… just fell.

"Johnny!" Chrysalis and I exclaimed. Some guards came into the room, freed Chrysalis, and tried to keep the elements and Spike in the cage. "Let them go." Chrysalis said.

A guard turned towards her, surprised.

"Your highness, are you sure?"

"Yes. In fact, free everypony else here as well. I also need a few carriages to bring us to the hospital."

"Anything else, Queen?" The guard asked.

"Yes. As soon as everypony is free, and once we get to the hospital, you are to return to your positions as Princess Celestia's Royal Guards. If anypony is to refuse, they shall lose your position as a guard. Understood?"

"Yes, Queen."

"Tell the other guards, and once they are free, get carriages for Twilight, Rarity, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Starlight, Pinkie Pie, Spike, the princesses, Shining Armor, Discord, and Thorax, and send them to the hospital, and make sure you give them back their magic. Tell the captains guarding other places we've conquered to let everyone go."

She picked up Johnny and ran out to the courtyard, where there was a carriage waiting for her. The guards unlocked our cages and got us into carriages. The flew us to the hospital, and when we got there, both Chrysalis and Celestia were waiting in a hall. The elements talked to Celestia, and I sat next to Chrysi to talk to her. I was surprised when I felt that she was upset and sad.

"Hey." I said.

"Hi." She replied.

I sat next to her, and asked, "You're worried that he won't make it, right?"

"Yeah."

"He'll make it. He's made it through worse."

"Like what?"

"Well, a couple of days ago, he got in a confrontation with the animatronics. He survived suicide as well."

"Yeah, I heard about that."

"You really care about him?"

"Yeah. While it doesn't seem like it, I do." The others came back, and she got up. "I have something to tell you all." They all looked at her. "I'm sorry if I made anything difficult after I backstabbed you, and I'm sorry for backstabbing you. I was only focusing on Johnny and I, and not everypony else as well. I won't ask for forgiveness, because I know I don't deserve it. I know that it doesn't seem like it, but I do care about Johnny. I'll do anything to make it up to all of you."

"If you did care about him, then why did you kill Puppet?" Applejack asked.

"Because, the afternoon that I put Johnny in the cage with Thorax, the animatronics came and told me to chop Puppet in half because they thought Johnny was a bad person, and that he deserved it. I refused, but then they threatened to kill Johnny and I, and take over Equestria, and I didn't know that it would have killed Puppet. They said that it would just hurt him, and that you would've been able to fix him."

"What about using him for love to take over Equestria?"

"Ever since the first day I met him, he was the nicest creature I had ever met. When I heard about how his parents and brother died when he was young, and that he had no family, I thought that he… how do I put this? He deserved more after since he was so nice, even after having such a tragic past. So, while I did try to take over Equestria, I wanted him to rule with me for that reason."

"Why did you decide to go with him when he offered to help you, and not us?"

"When he came to me, I was at the lowest point of my life. When he first came to me, I thought that he just wanted to take me to the princess for a reward, so I didn't trust him. But, when he came back a week later to see if I had made a decision, I trusted him after I saw no pony was with him."

A nurse came out and talked to Celestia. When the nurse left, Twilight asked her what she said.

"She said that he did get damaged by the beams of magic, but it was nothing too bad. He mainly just got burned from the magic, so they washed him off, and he got hurt when he hit the wall. We can also go visit him, we just can't hug him or touch him yet, and we need to be quiet, because he's still sleeping."

"How did he survive that? They had some pretty powerful magic." I wondered.

"Wait… before we came here, he took me down to the weapon room he had in his house, and he drank some drinks. So I wonder if that had anything to do with that." Twilight said.

"Was one of the drinks called "Juggernog"?" Discord asked.

"Yeah." Twilight said, and Discord started laughing. "What?"

"Those drinks you listed off? They're from 'Call Of Duty', more specifically the Zombies mode. 'Juggernog' increases your health, so that must be why. Johnny really doesn't mess around when it comes to friends and family being in danger."

We went in, and he was sleeping. I sat next to him, while the others talked. Thorax came over to me, and comforted me, saying, "He's going to be alright."

"Hopefully." I sat next to her.

"Listen, I'm not sure if I can forgive you, since you hurt Johnny. It'll take a bit of time, but I'll be able to have you as a friend again. But, that doesn't mean I won't help you if you are going through something, so don't be afraid to come to me."

"Thanks." she said.

Johnny’s P.O.V.

I woke up in a hospital room, and was confused, since I was last in my dungeon. "Hey." I said, and they all looked over at me. "How did I get here?"

"Hello, Johnny." Celestia said, as she walked closer to the hospital bed.

"Hello, Celest- wait, how did you guys escape?"

"What do you mean? You took down Cozy Glow and Tirek." Thorax said.

"I did?" I asked. I was confused about what they were talking about.

"Yeah. Don't you remember?" Rainbow asked.

"No, the last thing I remember is Tirek calling me pathetic, and then he walked over the cage with Twilight and Chrysi in it. I took them down?" I asked, a bit shocked.

"Yeah, it was pretty epic!" Rainbow said.

"Of course, when I actually try to stop them, I can't do it. But when I'm not conscious of it, I take them down. Did you get my bag back?"

"No. I'll send my guards to get it."

"Thanks."

"You okay?" Chrysi asked, as she walked closer to the bed.

"Kind of. I'm glad that they're gone, but they destroyed my Panzer suit. That took me a long time to while."

"I'm sure you'll be able to get another one. Other than that, are you feeling okay?"

"Yeah."

"Good to hear." She turned walked over to Celestia, and said, "I'm ready."

"Pardon me?"

"I'm done here. I wanted to make sure that he was okay, and he is. I won't waste any more of your time. You can bring me to the castle."

There was a pause, and Celestia giggled. "I'm not taking you to the castle."

Chrysi paused, and asked, "You aren't?"

"No. After you apologized to me in the carriage, and to everypony else, I realized that you truly do care for him, and that you were trying to look out for him, and do the best for him. There's just one person you didn't apologize to yet." They all turned to look at me. Even though I already did, I decided to do it again, to show that I truly do care for him.

"Johnny, I-"

"It's ok. I accept your apology." I said. She already did apologize to me earlier, and I think she remembered, but didn't want the others to think that she was trying to get out of it, because it would make her look bad.

"Wha…? How do you even accept an apology she didn't even give!?!" Twilight blurted.

"She did early, and it really touched my heart."

She stood there, smiling at me.

"Well, Chrysalis, if Johnny trusts you, then I can start to trust you again." Celestia held her hoof out, and she shook it.

"Thank you, princess." Chrysi said, shaking her hoof.

Twilight stood there for a second before holding out her hoof hesitantly and saying, "I can't wait to have lessons with you, and teach you about friendship."

"Neither can I." Chrysalis replied.

"How about I let you sleep at my castle for tonight?"

"Thanks, but no thanks, someone has to stay with Johnny while he's here. I'm going to stay with him."

"Alright. I'll see you tomorrow." We said our goodbyes, they all walked out, and Chrysi turned towards me.

"You're an amazing friend, you know that?" she asked me.

"Thank you. You're a good one yourself. Could you promise me something?" I asked.

"Anything."

"I care about you a lot. Other than Discord, you're the only one that gets my humor. You're an amazing friend, and when I had to throw you into the Minecraft world, I was pretty upset about it. I don't want to have to banish you again, have you banished by someone else, or go however I went on Tirek and Cozy today. Can you promise me that you won't try to take over the world again, and that you will talk to me if you have a problem?"

"I will."

"Thank you."

I was let out the next day, and I was getting ready to head to the "Call Of Duty" Realm to get another Pander suit. It turns out that they can be pretty chill when you get to know them. I first went there when I was younger, so because of that, and because they had nothing against me, and don't try to attack me... usually. The main boss there is "Papa Panzer", and we set up a deal. He said that I can have their suits, as long as they get a lot of bags of Caramel Bugles, and I give them a performance. They were getting tired of eating humans over and over again so they wanted something different. I talked to Discord, and he was fine with it. He thought it was pretty cool that I was able to go there, and "Origins" is one of his favorite maps. We told Twilight, and she was shocked that I was able to go there without having to survive and risk my life. I told her the special code, and that they need to say that they need to talk to me if they come at some point. Discord and I hopped through the portal, and landed in the spawn room.

"Follow my lead, and don't laugh at the code name. They don't take kindly to people making fun of their leader." I told Discord. Zombies started coming in, and they came at us. "CODE: PP!" I yelled. They stopped dead (haha) in their tracks.

"Right this way." One of them said. We went into an area you can't go to on the map, and they took us into a room. Discord and I sat down on the side farthest away from the door, and waited.

"So, what happens now?" Discord asked.

"We just have to wait for 'Papa Panzer' to come in." I replied. A minute later, "Papa Panzer" came in. I stood up, and we did our greeting: We sang the bridge of "American Idiot" while doing motions going along with the words.

"Johnny!" He said.

"Papa Panzer!" I said as we hugged.

We broke the hug, and Papa asked, "Who's your friend?"

"This is Discord: Lord and spirit of chaos. He's from the 'My Little Pony' world. Speaking of that world, there might be some ponies coming later. I told them to come here if they do need me. Just thought I should let you know."

"You told them the code, right?"

"I did."

"Alright. That's good. What brings you here today?"

"So, I got in a fight with some enemies of the ponies, and they broke the suit. Could I possibly get another?"

"Of course, as long as you have the Bugles, and as long as we get a performance."

"Of course."

"Maybe later, we can watch some Z House videos."

"Yeah, I think Lex and Matt uploaded some videos reacting to old Z House videos."

"We'll get the Bugles, and you can eat them while we perform."

"Alright."

We went to the staff holding room, and Discord and I got the Bugles. After about five minutes, we finished getting them. While they were getting handed out, Discord and I set up. After we were done setting up, Discord sat down in front of the drums, and I picked up my guitar.

"Hello everyone. As you might know, I am Johnny, and today, I am joined with the drummer of my band, Discord!" They all cheered, or I think they did. It just sounded like their usual yell. "Let's start this off with a good old blink-182 song. This one is called 'Carousel'." I stepped on a button and the bass started playing. We played that, and then we played a few more songs: "What's My Age Again?", "American Idiot", and "Longview". After we played "Longview", I saw the Mane Six watching. I would have been nervous in the first place, because their innocent ears shouldn't hear the lyrics, but what made it even worse was that I was singing the bad words. When we finished the song, Papa motioned us to go over to him. "We'll be back after this short break." I placed my guitar down, Discord placed his drumsticks down, and we walked over to Papa. "What's up?" I asked him.

"They said they had something urgent to talk to you about." He said.

"What's up?" I asked Twilight.

"Tirek and Cozy have taken over Canterlot castle."

My eyes widened in shock and fear when I heard that"How?"

"The animatronics freed them."

"The guards didn't stop them?"

"No. They got your bag, along with the Ice Staff. They froze Celestia and Luna, set up camp in the throne room, and took control of the guards. What do we do?"

All of them looked worried. I thought for a moment, turned towards Papa, and asked, "Can you help us?"

"Yeah, I'll help." He answered.

"Alright. I want you to take Twilight, Rarity, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Starlight, Chrysalis, and Discord around the map, and I you to get them 'Juggernog', 'Stamin-Up', 'Speed Cola', and 'Quick Revive'. Make sure you give them syringes when they get 'Quick Revive'. After they get those, they teleport to my house through the Argartha teleporter."

"Got it."

I turned towards Twilight. "Follow Papa Panzer. He'll make sure you don't die or get hurt. When you come to my house, take them to the elevator to the weapon room."

"Alright." Twilight said.

"What about you though?"

"I have to decide what weapons to bring to take them down. I'm going to Argartha to teleport home."

"Alright. Go to the ice tunnel. Maxis should be at the workbench in the church. Bring him with you when you go so the Zombies don't kill you."

"Got it."
