Jason Takes Equestria

Carousel Boutique

After the crushing defeat in a battle of wills, Twilight cleared her throat.

"Alright you four, put away the water works. You three can come with us, but while we are there, you need to be on your best behavior. Alright?"

The CMC nodded in tandem with agreement. "Yes!"

When the six turned their attention away for a moment, Jason stretched out a hand toward the three fellow conspirators for a congratulatory 'high five' which they bumped with a hoof in glee. They just as quickly went back to normal before they could get caught.

letting go of Apple bloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo from the encirclement of his arms, Jason then gave a brief pat on the head to each of them.

"The chariot should be coming to the back of the shop soon, and it should be big enough for all of us to fit on. Just be sure to hold on tight when we take flight, understood?" Twilight continued.

The four bobbed their head in affirmation. "Okay!" the three spoke in unison as Jason gave a thumbs up.

"By the way Jason." Rarity stepped forward then placed a hoof on Sweetie Belle. "Sweetie here is my baby sister. I'm glad you two seem to be hitting it off."

He looked between the sisters, while placing a finger to his chin and tilted his head.

Hmm. You know, I can kind of see it. He thought while nodding.

The two giggled at the sight of his consideration.

He then looked at Scootaloo then Rainbow Dash, while simultaneously pointed a finger between the two with a questioning gaze.

They could understand without any translation.

"Well, we might not be related by blood." Rainbow drew closer to the little orange pegasus and nuzzled the side of her face. "But I do consider her like a little sis."

Scootaloo returned the nuzzling with a beaming smile.

He closed his eyes a nodded to the warm fuzzies he felt welling in his chest.

Suddenly, Jason could feel the presents of something flying toward the shop. Four pegasi pulling something.

Must be our ride to where these Princesses are.

unsealing his vision, he gestured to the door then used his hand like a plane coming in for a landing.

Rainbow could tell what he was indicating. "Looks like our ride is here. We should make our way to the back and prepare for take-off."

Moving the small herd to the back, they met the royal guard ponies, talked to them for a bit to let them rest, then everyone climbed aboard and took off for the castle.

Jason decided it was best for him to be seated in the chariot, as to keep himself as hidden as possible.

Here's hoping everything goes well.

As they soared through the sky, he noticed that his new smol compatriots were shaking from the cold.

Being as high as they were, plus the wind chill it was understandable.

Crossing his legs, he opened his arms in an invitation to the CMC to huddle close for warmth.

They didn't need to be asked twice. Carefully climbing into his lap, they nestled up close to his chest while Jason wrapped his arms around them to envelop the chilled fillies with his radiating heat.

Soon the trembling slowed, then ceased.

Glancing down he could see the three of them succumb to the warmth, beginning to bob their heads and their eye lids become heavy by the second. After about a minute or so they had nodded off for a nap.

At the sight of this, there came a soft, "Aww." from the surrounding mares.

Hmm. If nothing else, I'll just enjoy the moments I've gotten to experienced so far.

Canterlot Castle

The chariot made an approach that gradually came down to terra firma inside the castle courtyard.

The slight jostling of the landing roused the napping fillies, who in turn rubbed their eyes to chase away the sleepiness.

After they stretched out and moved from his lap, they joined their guardians in disembarking the vehicle.

Climbing to his feet, he adjusted his coat, then stepped off the chariot to join the others.

Taking a moment to look at his surroundings, Jason's gaze followed the high walls that were on all sides, then up the main building to its tallest spire.

Wow. This reminds me of that time I was in that open square in that city. No Bright lights like last time but just as pretty.

He only took a quick glance around at Times Square when in pursuit of those two people back then, but he could remember small snippets of it.

As soon as the little group was together a royal guard approached, then spoke in a firm clear tone.

"Princess Twilight sparkle and company." His eyes floated over the nine ponies, then up to Jason (his gaze resting a few seconds longer on him then the others) then continued. "Princess Celestia and Princess Luna are waiting for you in the throne room. Please follow me."

Turning to a massive pair of double doors, the guard marched off to lead the way.

The mane six, CMC and Jason fell in step and followed the soldier.

Posted guards on either side of the door opened them right at the moment they came near, held the till Jason past, then closed them right after they entered.

The small troop made their way through a tall corridor that had pillars lining both sides of the hall.

In front of every other column was a stoic, stock still guard. The only thing that would have clued the passersby that they were not in fact statues would have been the movement of their eyes.

At least, till Jason came into their field of view. Quite a lot of them had their eyes widen, then followed his massive form as he passed by. A few even turned their head from sheer awe.

After walking a fair distance on a red carpet, as well as passing some very important looking stained-glass windows, they came to another set of doors.

Before the guards could move to open the doors, Fluttershy spoke up. "Wa-wait a moment please."

Turning to face Jason, she made a motion for him to kneel down, which he complied.

Taking his hand in her hoof, she patted it reassuringly. "Everything is going to be alright. Just be open and honest like you were with us and I'm sure the Princesses will see what we see. Alright?"

Jason could feel a tremble in the small hoof holding his hand and could see her vision become misty ever so slightly.

She was far more worried for her new friend then she was letting on but was trying to stay strong in spite of that.

Placing his other hand on her hoof, he looked into her teal orbs, then gave a small nod.

I swear. I will not hide anything from them just like I did for you.

He gently squeezed her hoof to which she gave a small smile at his own reassurance.

Letting go while standing back up, he glanced over to the others who were waiting. After thinking momentarily, he made a few motions to the three young fillies and their chaperones.

You might want to keep them from watching when my memory is shown though. Just a reminder.

The guardians knew what he was meaning and nodded in understanding.

Rolling his shoulder, a bit, taking a breath, exhaling, then fixing his gaze to the door guards, he gave them the go ahead to proceed.

Opening the door wide, the group went forth (at least for Jason) into the unknown,

Upon entering the throne room, Jason was greeted by guards lining the red carpet leading up to a small set of ramps that rose to a pair of larger thrones, set side by side.

Behind them were large stained-glass windows. One depicted a crescent moon, while the other had a sun in all its glory.

Sitting in their respective thrones were the dual crowned heads of state.

To his left was an alicorn that was much taller than the mares who were accompanying him. Her coat was dark blue in color. Her mane, which was blue with a translucent blue boarder, seemed to be constantly moving as if it was not of this world and in an ethereal wind.

To his right, an even taller alicorn with a white coat that seemed to have a very light touch of pink on the fringes of her form. Her mane was moving like its partners but was striped with pink, purple, aqua blue and green.

He moved along the red carpet behind his new friends till they reached the base of the first ramp.

Upon stopping, the mares bowed to the duo.

"Princess Celestia. Princess Luna. I would like to introduce to you, Jason, the human."

Not sure what to do, Jason placed a hand over his chest and bent at the waist in a bow.

He remembered seeing a movie on TV with someone going in front of a king and bowing like this.

Back in the good days.

His eyes took on a bit of a sadness at that thought.

"Very good. Jason, please step forward." Luna beckoned to him with a head tilt.

Straitening back up, he strode forth and up the first ramp then came to a stop at the platform just before the co-rulers.

"Could you state your full name please?" Celestia asked in a motherly tone.

Jason looked her in the eyes with an apologetic gaze.

Fluttershy then came to his aid. "I'm sorry but he can't speak. At least he hasn't since we met him."

The others agreed to her statement.

"Ah, I see. Well, I know of a spell that may be of use." Celestia spoke while lighting up her horn.

A warm golden glow enveloped Jason for a few seconds then disappeared.

"This spell will only work while you are here so do not worry. Now then, can you tell us your full name please?"

Unsure of how he would do just that, he gave it a try.

"My name is Jason Voorhees."

To his and everybody else's surprise, an audible deep rumbling voice could be heard that did not come from his lips.

"Wait, What? Is that no longer just in my head? Hmm. Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. How many bears can Bear Grylls Grill if Bear Grylls did grill bears? Huh, neat."

Cutting off his train of thought, Luna asked him another question.

"Now then, would you give us your permission to look through your memories to ascertain your current situation?"

Looking over to her, he nodded his head and thought, "Yes you may. I do not wish to hide anything that I have done. good, bad or indifferent. Just be warned, it's not for the faint of heart or squeamish."

"Understood. Now you may feel slightly odd for a while. Please put up with it." Luna spoke as she rose from her seat.

"That's alright. Twilight used something like this before. It wasn't that bad." He knelt down to make it easier for her to do what she needed.

"That may be, but this spell will be more intrusive for a deeper dive into your psyche. Nothing will be damaged, but it will feel weird. My apologies."

"It's fine. I've been through worse as you are about to witness. Pay it no mind."

After that final confirmation as well as reaching the same platform, he came to rest on, Luna's horn glowed in a blue aura.

Being this close to the Princess of the night allowed Jason to see the sparkles of light in her mane that looked like the starry skies he spent many a night gazing into. He had always enjoyed the night over the day because he could only see the beauty and wonder of the cosmos at that time.

"Beautiful." This thought crossed his mind as he closed his eyes and lowered his head. Forgetting his thoughts could currently be heard.

Unbeknownst to him, a small blush graced her muzzle at being called beautiful.

She touched her horn to his head then produced a large orb of light that drifted up toward the ceiling.

Everyone in the room's eyes gazed upon the floating orb as images began to appear on its surface.

Playing through like a movie from beginning to end, his memories were shown in full.

Including one Jason couldn't remember how it happened of him going on a late-night talk show with Arsenio Hall.

"That was weird."

Then there was when he had a weigh in at Las Vagas with a striped sweater wearing burn victim.

"I have led a very bizarre life." Jason thought as the images faded, when the show had come to an end.

Before he opened his eyes, he felt something drip on his leg. Opening his eyes, he looked to see a wet spot on his pant leg just above his knee. A second soon joined it, then another.

Raising his head, he gazed into a new set of teal eyes that did not belong to Fluttershy.

This time, the look in them was not of empathy but of understanding. As if looking at a kindred spirit.

Stepping forward, she placed a forehoof on his shoulder, then nodded.

He reached up, then with his thumbs, wiped the tears away gently as to not be too rough.

Getting the meaning at his gesture she smiled softly while allowing him to continue. After cleaning her face, she turned and walked back up to join her sister.

Celestia, on the other hand, had a face that shown her shocked state. All the scenes of him brutally killing all those he came across without even a hint of hesitation. Their screams of pain in their last moments still rang in her ears.

Looking back to Jason, her face became stern. "From what I have just seen, I know what must be done."

Before she could proceed in her course of action, Luna Interjected. "Sister! Hold on just a moment!"

"Hold on?! Why do you ask me to hold on?! Did we not see the same thing of what he has done?! All those lives snuffed out by his hands! Do we want this to happen in our lands as well?!" Celestia countered, flashing a glare at her younger sibling.

Luna's steely gaze peered back into her eyes unflinching. "Indeed, we did see the same thing, but saw different things apparently. What he did, as wrong and inexcusable as it was, had a reason behind it. Now that he has arrive in these lands, his original purpose is gone."

She pointed a hoof at Jason. "The shattered psyche of his mind, that could have never been repaired by any normal means, has become whole and calm. He could be considered cured of his madness now. He has shown no inkling to harm any of the group that had accompanied him today, which he could have at any time."

She brought her hoof down to the floor with a clack. "I am not saying we should trust him blindly, but we can't just cast him out either. He was alone in the darkness of grief and anger for years. Now that he has come to a place where he can come into the light seeking salvation, should we really spurn him back to that black quagmire?"

Celestia's stern look only grew as her eyes narrowed. "Why should we take the risk? Sure, he hasn't done anything as of yet. But he could do many horrible things to the citizens. He poses too much of a threat. How can we take that chance?"

Luna's eyes softened as she never looked away from her sister's fiery gaze. "Because you gave me that same chance once before."

At this, Celestia's face lost all her ire in an instant.

Luna drew close to Celestia, Tears forming once again. "He was exactly the same as I. The Feelings of misunderstanding because of being different. Being isolated from your own kind because of it. The resentment and anger boiling just under the surface, only to explode after a long time of buildup. Tell me sister, who am I describing?"

Tears fell not just from her eyes, but Celestia's as well. "The only difference is that I was sent away before I could hurt anypony. He was not so lucky. I could have caused just as much mayhem, if not more if you had not stopped me. This thought keeps me up some days, more then you know."

She turned to look at Jason who was watching the scene before him.

"We are two sides of the same coin. We just have to show him a better way. Help him feel not isolation but acceptance. These mares have already saw fit to do just that already."

She then raised her vision to said mares who all nodded.

"The road to recovery may be a long one but he is already off to a good start. We just need to believe in our friends."

Coming back to the elder princess, she spoke in a quivering voice. "Sister, please give him the chance to show the good that he can accomplish. Please?"

Luna's watery eyes pleaded up to her elder sister.

Celestia looked into those eyes for a moment, then to Jason who brought his head to the floor while on all fours in a Dogeza pose. Then to Twilight and her friends who also seemed to be begging with their eyes, and finally to the CMC who had tears blurring their vision out of fear for what may happen to their new friend.

With a shake of the head and a reluctant sigh, she conceded. "Very well, I will give him the chance you all seek."

Before anyone could exclaim in delight though, Celestia added. "But only under a probationary period to start with. He will be under the supervision of one of the element bearers at all times. There will also be a weekly report sent to one of us on his progress."

She looked to the six then raised a brow. "Understood?"

They in unison nodded. "Yes, Princess."

Luna pulled her sister into a hug. "Thank you, Tia. Thank you."

Returning the embrace, a small smile crossed her muzzle. "It's hard to turn you down when you ask me like that."

Glancing back to Jason, her worry over her dream was still present in her mind. I just hope this doesn't come back to bite us.

After that, Jason was asked a few more questions like where he would be staying and so on. Till there was no more pressing matters that had to be brought to light.

"This will conclude our meeting. We shall send a declaration out of your presents in Ponyville and about your benign nature as not to frighten the masses. Do not betray the trust we have shown today." Celestia closed the discussion.

Jason nodded. "I promise, I will be on my best behavior while in the care of everyone here. You have my word."

Turning to face his new friends he added. "I do not wish to lose this peace that I never thought I could ever acquire again."

At this, the accompanying ponies grinned.

"Very good. You all may return before it gets too late. Take care." Luna inclined her head in fair well.

With this Jason rose, then bowed once again to the two Princesses."It was a pleasure meeting you both and I look forward to the next time."

After straitening back up, he turned on his heels and walked down to join the others.

"Alright, we should head back to the chariot and go home." Twilight cheerfully spoke.

Jason, at the thought of the shivering fillies, posed a different solution. "Actually, if it's alright with you, I could just use my morph ability to get us back."

Everypony turned to look at him.

"ya'll can use magic, Jason?" Apple bloom looked up to him quizzically.

Rubbing the back of his neck, he grinned sheepishly. "Well, I'm not really sure if it's magic but it's one of my abilities. I Can warp to any point I have been to before. Not sure if it works the same here but my gut tells me it should be okay.

Crouching down, then sitting cross legged once more he gestured them closer. "Just grab a hold on to me and don't let go."

The CMC were first to climb into his lap while the others, unsure if this will work, rapped their fore-hooves around his arms. Jason opened his hands to hold Fluttershy's and Rarity's hooves respectively.

"Everything will be okay, I promise." He reassured all of them.

Looking over his shoulder he gave the Princesses a wink. "Till the next time we meet."

With that the little group disappeared in a poof of mist.

The Princesses were dumbstruck at the sudden disappearance.

"Till next time." Luna absentmindedly responded in a whisper.

Carousel Boutique: Shortly After

The group in its entirety appeared in the middle of the boutique, much to the surprise of said group. After looking around for a while, they recognized where they were.

The Three fillies were first to speak. "That. Was. Amazing!" They spoke as one while leaving his lap, then turning back to Jason.

"You mean you can just do that to anyplace you been to once? That's so incredible." Sweetie Belle beamed excitedly at the prospect.

Jason smiled and gestured. Yes, but I can't do it in rapid succession. There is a cool down period before I am able to use it again.

Just as Celestia said, the spell no longer worked now that they were no longer in her presence.

"Do you have any other cool abilities?" Scootaloo asked full of anticipation.

Jason nodded in confirmation.

The CMC squealed in delight.

"Like what?" They spoke in unison once more.

Before Jason could answer Twilight cut in. "Wait, wait, wait. You have other abilities like that?"

Jason nodded once more.

Twilight took in a deep breath and exhaled it slowly. "Okay. Tomorrow, we are going to introduce you to Mayor Mare and then the citizens of Ponyville. After that, we are going to run a few tests on you and your abilities. Rarity, do you think you can make some work out attire for him by then?"

Rarity Nodded. "Yes. I don't believe it should be too difficult to do a simple Jersey and shorts. Just let me get a bit of rest and it shall be done by tomorrow, no problem."

"Alright we will meet back here about midday. sound good?" Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Okay let's call it a day for now then. See you all tomorrow." Twilight moved to the door, and everyone followed.

Jason rose to his feet then retrieved the clothes Rarity had made for him and returned to Fluttershy.

Getting to one knee, he held his hand out to her.

Ready to go back? he asked with his eyes.

She placed her hoof in his hand as she answered. "Yes."

With that they disappeared once more.

Fluttershy's Cottage

Reappearing inside Fluttershy's home, Jason smiled at the mare as she regained her bearings.

After she could see she was in fact back inside her home she grinned up at him. "That's a pretty nifty trick you have there. Plus, it's not as blinding as when Twilight does it."

Jason gave her hoof a tender squeeze before letting go.

He then gestured to the clothes he was wearing then the clothes in his arms.

I'm going to change clothes, then I'll help you around here till it's time for bed. Okay?

Jason got up while pulling the tie around his neck loose. Moving over to the couch he placed the new attire down then pulled out the locket and book from their resting places. Putting them on the end table he began to disrobe.

At this point Fluttershy stammered out. "O-o-okay. I'll meet you out back when your done dressing." She then rushed out the door to start tending to her animals.

Looking back to where she had rushed out, he just shrugged then finished changing. After putting on the new jacket he put the locket and book back into their home's.

The rest of the day was met with nothing eventful happening. Just feeding, brushing and petting all the different animals.

Soon enough though, night was upon them.

Making sure the animals were tucked in for the night, they went back inside to turn in themselves. Fluttershy had a bite to eat, took care of her dishes with Jason's help then moved to go ups stairs.

"Goodnight Jason. See you in the morning." Fluttershy sleepily spoke as she ascended the stairs.

Good night. Jason bedded down for the night on the couch and waved.

Once Fluttershy was up in her bed, Jason took a moment to look out the window to the night sky.

The starry night that he could see was even more stunning than any he had ever witnessed in his life.

Drifting off to sleep the last thing that crossed his mind was the same thought he had while looking at Luna's Hair.

Beautiful.

Once he was asleep, the demon went to its work of absorbing the nearby dark magic. this time however it was intrigued by the spell Princess Celestia had used before.

Time to add to its host's abilities.

The next morning, Fluttershy rose to the shining sun's warmth. Groggily moving to the edge of the bed she slid to the floor then slowly step down the stairs.

Once she reached the bottom she turned and drew close to the sleeping Jason's ear. "Jason, it's time to get up now." She cooed in a soft whisper.

Just as before his eyes opened and he sat up.

Backing up a few steps, she smiled up to him while wiping her eyes. "Good morning, Jason." She said in a tired yawn.

What she didn't expect was a reply.

"Good morning, Fluttershy."

Her eyes shot open at hearing that same deep rumbling voice that came from no mouth. The same voice she heard at the castle.

Looking up to Jason, she saw him tilting his head.

"What's the matter?" He questioned with a puzzled look.
