The Magic of Friendship, Love, and Guns

JASON POV. SAME LOCATION

"Library, library, where the fuck is the damn library?" I asked out loud as I ran across the rooftops, looking for a library so I can find some information on where I am. I stopped and looked across the street to see a large building with the words "Library" over the doors "Finally." I said as I made my way over to it, landing on the roof. The place seemed to be closed but it wasn't a big problem.

"Never thought I'd break INTO a library, but whatever." I mumbled as I climbed in through the window, I landed on the top floor and started to quietly make my way around, luckily this world worked pretty similar to my own, sort of "H section.... There." I snuck over to the H section and looked for a history book, I grabbed a book and read the title

"Proud History of Equestria." I read to myself, opening it up and started reading "Equestria is ruled by the two sisters, Princess Celestia, ruler of the sun, and her younger sister Princess Luna, ruler of the Moon. Ok, now that is some weird shit." I chuckled softly as I kept reading, finding out that the younger sister grew jealous of Celestia for all the love she and her sun got and tried to overthrow her, then Celestia used something called the elements of Harmony to banish her to the moon "Whoa, didn't know these horse people could do something so hardcore." I joked and kept reading, finding out more information about this world. I discovered that the place I'm in right now was called Manehattan

"Oh God, this place has fucking puns." I groaned, remembering Dick and all of the shitty puns he made, but I couldn't help but had a small smile at the memory of those moments. After an hour I gotten a good grasp on this place, I closed the book and left the library, then my stomach growled "Damn, I'm hungry. Wonder if this place got some burgers or something." I started running through the rooftops while looking down, it was still night time and some places were still open so it couldn't have been that late. I looked down and soon saw a Donut shop "Bingo." I used my grappling hook and safely get down and walked inside the place, only to see four guys wearing bandanas over their faces while holding up knives at the clerk and some of the civilians. Two of the robbers were pegasus's, one was a unicorn, and the last one was normal

"Hey! Get down on the ground, now!" One said, walking over to me. I smirked underneath my helmet and cracked my knuckles "Hey! I said get-" I interrupted him with a punch to his neck. He gasped for air as he dropped his knife, I grabbed it and leg swept him, making his fall and bringing the knife down into his shoulder

"Let's dance." I said, death within my voice as I turned to the others, giving them my own death glare as they shook in fear. One seemed to have some balls as he charged at me. I took out the knife from the guys shoulder and threw it at his head, killing him instantly. The last two were the unicorn and a Pegasus.

"I-I surrender!" The Pegasus said as he dropped his knife and put his hands up

"Coward!" The unicorn's Horn lit up and shot a beam at me, I quickly dodged out of the way and threw a batarang at his chest. He groaned in pain and dropped down to the ground. The Pegasus then had a very stupid idea, he grabbed his knife and jumped over the counter, holding the male clerk hostage as he held the knife close to the scared clerk's neck

"Don't come any closer! Or... Or I'll kill him! I swear I'll kill him!" He shouted. I stood up and stared at him, saying nothing as I could see him shaking and trembling in fear.

"You gonna ask yourself a question. Do I fell lucky? Well, do ya punk?" I asked as I then took out one of my pistols and shot him right between the eyes, the bullet piercing through his skull and the back of his head. The man dropped dead as one of the civilians screamed in horror

"Welp, that was fun." I started to loot through the dead robbers pockets, finding some bits, this world's currency. I walked over to the counter and out down 10 bits "A dozen donuts, please. Chocolate glazed with sprinkles." I ordered. The man gulped and nodded as he quickly grabbed a box and started putting in the donuts, I could see him trembling and sighed "I'm not going to hurt you, so calm down already." I said, putting my gun away. I then went back to get my batarang from the dead guys chest.

"O-ok.... Uh... T-thank you for saving u-us." The clerk said "I-if you don't mind me asking, B-But... W-who are you?" He hesitatingly asked. I looked at him and grinned

"Call me the Red Hood." I then grabbed the box of donuts and left, using my grappling hook to get to the roof of another tall building. I sat down on the ledge and put the donuts next to me, taking off my helmet and grabbing a donut. My black hair with a white streak in the front stood up a bit and was kinda messy. I also had a J branded on my cheek "Mmm, that's a good donut." I chuckled softly and kept eating, looking down at the city, it was very different from Gotham. People were smiling, happy, there was light, and not so much crime like in Gotham

"This place.... Is boring." I said, not use to peace and crap. I went to lay down on the roof and closed the box of donuts, yawning a bit "Let's take a little nap." I yawned, putting my helmet next to me as I closed my eyes, drifting off to sleep.

NO POV

As the night went on more and more ponies started drifting off to sleep, some having wonderful dreams, others having nightmares. It was at this moment that a very beautiful and captivating sight was seen. It was a beautiful woman with a dark blue coat, had wings and a horn, as well as a crown on her head. This was Princess Luna, ruler of the moon. Her long and majestic hair flowing, looking like the star filled night sky itself.

Every night she would use her magic to travel to her subjects dreams and help them with any nightmares they had. She was able to do this by entering the ponies "door," which lead into their dreams. She then felt something.... Something was different, she could feel a rare feeling that she is not use to in dreams. She felt anger, fear, hatred, heartbreak, and... Darkness

"I must investigate." Luna said as she headed towards the source, seeing a door but... It was vastly different from the dream doors she normally sees. This was seemed to have an aura of darkness and she could hear laughter, but this laughter was not at all a good kind of laughing "Who is thou?" She asked herself as she stepped closer, on the door it seemed to have something written on it "Jokes on... You?" She read, not knowing what it was or meant. She opened the door and entered

When she entered all she could see was darkness, she was about to use her magic until she saw a light appear. Under it was someone in a red outfit, sitting, no, tied up in a wheelchair, the pony seemed to have a sack over its head

"My word." She quickly ran over to the "pony", knowing that it needed help, suddenly the "pony" spoke

"Batman... I-is that you?" The person asked, a male by the sound of his voice.

Luna stopped as she heard footsteps, she then saw a very Scary looking clown in a purple suit with green hair. The clown then took the sack off the ponies head to show a young human male that was badly beaten

"Batman's not coming to save you, Jason." The clown said, a sick smile on his face

"He'll come!" The young man said

"Come now, Jason. It's been 6 months now, it's time to face the facts." The clown soon chuckled.

"Leave, thou horror creature!" Luna said as she soon blasted a powerful magic beam at the clown, but... Nothing happened "What?! B-But tis is impossible! Unless.... No... Tis is a... Memory..." She said in horror, unable to think that something like this could happen to someone. Soon she felt everything start to shake, meaning that whoever was dreaming was waking up "I must find whoever was dreaming... Or remembering this." She soon left the dream and back into the hallway of dreams.

The door suddenly disappeared as Luna looked at where it once stood "Who was thou... And what was that..?" She asked "I must return and inform my sister." She said as she then used her magic to leave the dream realm and back to her physical body.

Luna woke up in her bed wearing a black nightgown, her body was very voluptuous and curvy as her chest was very large. She got up and quickly got dressed as she then flew out her room and down the halls to enter her sisters room. She quickly knocked on Celestia's door

"Sister! It is I, Luna, we must speak!" She said. The opened to show a taller and even more voluptuous and beautiful woman, her hair was like a light shade of a rainbow as it somehow flew in an unknown breeze

"Lulu, what? It's too late for this." She yawned, obviously tired as she just wore a white tank top that clung tightly to her large breasts and pink sweat pants

"Tia, I saw something horrible in the dream realm." Luna said

"Was it your nightmare?" Celestia asked

"No! It was someone, or... Something else. Look, tis is of utmost importance. Thou dreamer was having a memory of something... Terrible..." Luna shivered as she remembered how the young creature looked, his face bloody and beaten.

Celestia looked at her sister and noticed that look in her eyes "... What was it, Luna?" She asked. Luna started to explain what she saw, the dark door, hearing the twisted laughter, the young creature and his current condition, and the fact that her powers didn't work, meaning that it was not a dream but a memory "My word...." Celestia gasped, not having hearing something like this in so many years

"What does this mean, dear Tia?" Luna asked

"I don't know, but it is something that must not be ignored. Do you know where exactly this... Dreamer was? In the real world?" Celestia asked

"Uh... I believe thou was in the city of Manehattan. Where exactly I fear I don't know." Luna said. Celestia nodded

"First thing in the morning we will send guards out to look for this strange being you saw in the dream realm." Celestia then hugged her little sister "Fret not, my little sister. It'll be alright."

"But... I saw his eyes... It held so much pain in them... And hatred, like... Like my old self." Luna mumbled. Celestia frowned slightly and held her sister close. Comforting her.

JASON POV

I gasped and panted heavily as I quickly sat up, sweating as I ran a hand through my hair

"Goddamnit..." I said as I put my shook my head, I grabbed another donut and started eating it, I didn't say a word as I kept eating donut after donut, soon finishing the whole box. I grabbed my helmet and put it back on, standing up and jumping off the roof, using my grappling hook to fly up to another building

"No rest tonight." I said as I went out on a night Patrol. Through out the night I kept thinking back on that memory, I remember it clear as day, but something felt off this time. Like... Someone else was there, I know I felt something, or someone, in there

"This place is driving me nuts." I said as I looked down to see some more of those armored guys from earlier "Shit." I groaned as I made sure I was hidden. I saw a small squad fly up in the air "Damnit." I said as I hopped down into an alleyway, using my skills in stealth to hide in the darkness. I saw one Guard look down, checking to see if anything was out of place

"Hmmm." The guard then flew away, I stayed hidden for a few more minutes before stepping out

"Bastards." I said as I looked out into the streets, starting to see less and less people. I stepped out of the alleyway and started walking, taking in the sights of the city. I then did something I haven't done in a while, I started to sing. My voice wasn't the best, but I enjoyed singing

"Hello~ It's me~ I was wondering if after all these you'd like to meet~" I softly sang, walking down the sidewalk as I kept a lookout for any of those guys flying or walking around. After a few more minutes of singing I used my grappling hook to once again get to the top of a building, this place was really peaceful as I didn't really see any crime being committed

"I should probably get some clothes to blend in, but I highly doubt that I would be able to hide since my face alone is vastly different from their pony heads." I said as I landed against a ledge. Taking a small rest from all the moving "Wonder if something will happen tomorrow?" I asked myself, looking up at the beautiful night sky.

NEXT MORNING. NO POV. TRAIN STATION

In a town called Ponyvile stood 7 individuals. One was Twilight Sparkle, she had a purple coat with a dark purple hair and light shade of purple streak through her hair as well as her tail. She wore a white button up shirt with a purple vest and a shirt with black leggings. She was a unicorn. The other had Rainbow Hair and tail, a light blue coat, and wore a blue shirt with a black sleeveless jacket over it and Jean shorts. This is Rainbow Dash, a Pegasus. Next was Applejack, an Earth pony with a light orange coat, blonde hair and tail tied in a ponytail , and wore a red checker button up shirt and blue jeans. Then there is another pink Earth pony named Pinkie Pie, she had puffy pink hair and tail, she wore a white shirt with a balloon on it and a blue sweater and a shirt with white leggings. The other was also a Pegasus named Fluttershy, she had a yellow coat and light pink hair and tail. She wore a green turtle neck sweat and jeans. The second to last was a unicorn named Rarity, she had a white coat and dark purple hair and tail, she wore a beautiful Jean jacket over a dark purple shirt and a purple shirt with dark blue leggings, her jacket had some gem design on it. And last was a small purple and green Dragon named Spike

"Wonder what the Princesses want?" Spike asked

"I don't know, but it must be important if they wanted to speak to all us immediately." Twilight said, a little concerned

"Ah, don't worry, sugarcube. It'll be alright, trust me." Applejack reassured her nervous friend

"Yeah, maybe they wanted a party!" Pinkie Pie said excitedly, jumping up and down while she giggled

"I doubt that, pinkie. Maybe they need us to stop some bad monster." Rainbow Dash said as she had a grin on her face, cracking her knuckles

"I-I sure hope not..." Fluttershy said quietly and frighteningly as she shivered a bit

"Rainbow, don't be so brash. It's probably just something small or maybe something about the Elements. We just have to wait and find out." Rarity said. Soon their train arrived and they all got on board, heading towards Canterlot.

After 2 hours they reached the large and beautiful kingdom of Canterlot. The girls and Dragon got off and made their way to the castle, they walked up towards the main doors

"We were told by the Princesses to spread with them." Twilight told the guards, they nodded and let them through. They all walked down the halls and soon entered into the throne room, seeing the two Princesses waiting for them. The girls and Dragon all bowed

"It is good to see you all again." Princess Celestia said

"Same to you, Princess. What seems to be the problem?" Twilight asked

Celestia turned to her sister as Luna stepped forward

"Last night during my time in the dream realm I came across something, a strange creature of sorts." She said. The group of friends all looked at her as she spoke "There was a door, but not something I have ever seen. It was surrounded by a dark aura and I heard laughter, but it sounded so twisted and cruel. I opened the door and entered it, seeing young creature, yet they look similar to that of a Colt, tied up in a wheelchair. Suddenly I heard the footsteps of another, it was a clown but... He looked like a madman, sick and twisted. Then I saw the young creature's face and he was badly beaten, bleeding and had bruises on him. The clown mocked him as the young colt said that someone, a Batman, would come and save him. I tried using my powers to help him, but it didn't work, it didn't work because it wasn't a dream... It was a memory. Before I could do anything else the host woke up and I was forced to leave." Luna explained

The others gasped slightly and didn't know what to say, never hearing anything like this before. Twilight then spoke up

"So.... What do we do?" She asked, a bit of fear and worry in her voice

"You will travel to Manehattan and search for this being. Find them and try to speak with them, I want to see if we can help them." Luna said, wanting to help the poor strange being

Twilight and her friends nodded as they all bowed and headed out, going towards the train station. As they walked they started talking

"So, what's the plan?" The young dragon asked the lovely mares, curious as to what the plan is

"Well, Princess Luna said to help them, so that's what we should do." Fluttershy said, her caring Nature in affect as she didn't like seeing creatures in pain

"But how do we know that it's actually friendly? I say we give em a good swift buck to let them know not to mess with us." Rainbow said as she threw a few punches

"Dash, ya heard what Princess Luna said. The poor thing could need help, we can't just fight them all willy-nilly for no reason." Applejack said, crossing her arms at her rash friend. Not liking the idea of just fighting anypony for no good reason

"Yeah, maybe we can throw them a party! Oh! What's their favorite flavor? Favorite color? Favorite comic book? Favorite sweet?" The hyper active Pinkie Pie started trailing off with her strange habit of planning parties

"Uh, pinkie, I think we can put a party on hold, darling. But I do think we should be careful, heavens knows what it is capable of." Rarity said, while she did want to help she did care about her and her friends safety

"First things first, we need to get to Manehattan and find them." Twilight said as they all boarded the train and headed off to Manehattan
