Journey To The Edge

It’s been about a week since Jason left Ponyville, heading down south of Equestria and entering the more desert land of Equestria. Jason had been laying low in a small town called Somnambula, Jason had been looking into a scroll that was said to hold ancient enchantments of great power. Jason had hoped he could possibly open a portal back home. He was able to find clues from a museum and the local library about it's destination. Jason sat down at a table with a bag full of supplies and a canteen full of water.

“There was once an empire that praised the Goddess of the stars, having built a temple in her glory. But when they had finished completion a great curse fell upon them, bringing the temple below the sands. Many have tried to find the ruins of the temple but all have failed. The only clue is using the eye of the sun,” Jason said. Taking out a small yellow gemstone. He smirked as he had stolen it off some archaeologists from a dig site. He needed it more than them. Jason grabbed his bag and walked off into the alleyways of the town, doing his best to stay hidden. He saw a camel smoking a pipe with a sign that says, Thirty bits for a ride.

Jason prayed that the camel meant an actual ride. Jason walked up to the camel and tossed a small pouch of bits, which he also stole from the archaeologists. The camel looked up at Jason and shrugged, getting up on all fours as Jason climbed on his back.

“Where to?” The camel asked.

“Head east. Don’t stop unless I say so."”

“Look buddy, I need an actual destination-” Jason handed him another pouch of bits “Yes, sir.” The camel stuffed the bag into his pocket and started to walk off east.

After traveling for a few hours Jason pulled out the gemstone and examined it, wondering what exactly was he supposed to do with it. The camel soon reached a ridge and stopped

“Still head east?” The camel asked as he seemed a bit annoyed at his latest customer. Jason held up the gemstone, and suddenly the light traveled through the gem and out towards the desert. Jason looked off where the light was aiming at and saw it was pointing in the sand a few miles off.

“There.” Jason pointed as the camel then headed off towards the light.

Once they got closer Jason hopped off and started walking while holding the gemstone out. Suddenly a strange yet strong gust of wind blew by Jason, and it almost felt like it was more like a howl.

“What was that?” Jason asked, suddenly he felt the ground shake and the ground opening up. Jason and the camel started running off in the other direction to escape the giant sinkhole, but it moved too fast and Jason was sucked in.

“Son of a bitch!” Jason shouted as he took out his grappling gun and fired at the surface, but his grappling hook was unable to grab hold to anything as the sand just kept sliding down towards the hole. Jason cursed as he then felt himself hit against some sort of pillar or something and falling deeper and deeper. Jason looked down and tried slowing down his descent. Using his grappling hook to hold on to the stone walls he saw, his hook grabbed hold and stopped himself from falling. Unfortunately the wall was cracking and soon Jason found himself falling again. Jason looked down and braced himself as he crashed down hard onto the floor and was knocked out from the impact.

What felt like hours Jason slowly began to regain consciousness, groaning, Jason started crawling over to a boulder to rest against. His armor took most of the force of the fall, but Jason would need some time for his body to stop aching and heal. Jason looked up at the giant hole he fell into

“Great. Just fucking great,” Jason sighed heavily

Just give up. You can’t climb out anyway. Just relax. Let yourself go. Rest for a looooong time. Hahaha! The dark voice cackled as Jason groaned

“Shut up! I don’t need to deal with you today!” Jason said as he took off his helmet and gripped his head. Jason grunted loudly in pain as he forced himself to stand up. Putting his helmet back on, Jason looked around, seeing that he was in some sort of catacombs he began limping towards one of the pathways. Using his night-vision and holding out one of his pistols.

Jason limped against the wall as he used it as a guide as he ventured deeper into the strange catacombs. His pistol at the ready just in case there was anything that could pose a threat. As Jason walked he noticed that there were numerous skeletons that littered the place. Some wore similar clothing and armor while others were different.

“Was this some sort of battlefield?” Jason wondered as he then remembered the legend of the temple. How the empire was dragged under the sand “Wait, if that's true then…” Jason limped over to a skeleton and knelt down. Noticing that this one didn’t die of a normal wound. But instead was torn in half from the waist. Jason grabbed the sword that laid next to it only to see that it was broken in half. This guy didn’t die in battle. Someone, or something, else killed him. And it seemed he wasn’t the only one. Jason saw the numerous skeletal remains and dried blood that littered the floors. No ordinary person could do this. Jason then heard an eerie low roar from back where he was originally at.

“Oh fuck no.” Jason quickly started limping away, not wanting to risk fighting whatever that thing is in his current condition. The roars got louder and Jason looked back, catching something moving in the corner of his eyes. He drew his pistol and stood still.

“Come on…come on, you fucker,” Jason muttered as he waited for whatever the hell that thing is to pop out. Jason then heard a loud screeching sound as he jumped forward, narrowly avoiding the source of the screeching. It was a tall dark brown, nearly pitch black, creature with thick leathery skin and had four black eyes on its head. It had wings and sharp talons, and it seemed to crawl in a creepy flexible way, as if it barely had any bones.

The creature roared and Jason started shooting at it, his bullets hitting dead on but the creature didn’t seem to flinch as it lunged at Jason. Jason quickly rolled to the side and crawled back, ducking behind rocks and rolling away. The creature then jumped and slammed down on Jason, using its winged claws to pin his wrists down. It roared as it lunged its razor sharp fangs at Jason’s head. Jason moved his head to the side to avoid becoming that thing’s lunch. Jason kept moving his head to avoid death.

Oooohohohoho! Now THIS is a show! Why fight it? You know you can't fight forever! The dark voice said but Jason just shouted

“Shut UP!” Suddenly a sword appeared in Jason’s right hand. It burned like a raging fire and was made of some sort of strange metal in the form of a katana. Jason then used it to slice the creature’s wings and then stab it in the chest. The creature roared out in pain and then burst into flames.

Jason panted heavily as the sword then disappeared and he laid on the ground.

Aww, you look tired. Just close your eyes and drift off to sleep. Lay down your arms and just be free. The dark voice said calmly

“Sleep…I'm so…tired…” Jason said softly as his eyes were struggling to stay open.

His ears were ringing as he started losing consciousness more and more. Just as his vision was about to go dark, he saw something appear from the shadows and quickly approach him. It looked like a bipedal figure and it was trying to tell Jason something, but he couldn’t hear it. Before losing consciousness completely, there was a sudden flash of light and as a large burst of energy suddenly flowed through his body. Jason shot up from laying down and glanced around for whatever it was he saw, but there was only smoke wisps in the room. He then noticed his injuries were fully healed somehow, which confused him greatly. A cracking in the wall made Jason jump but he saw a new path open up on its own.

Jason didn’t have time to wonder what the hell he saw or what the hell it was as he ran through the new path. Using his night-vision to see around the dark catacombs.

What are you doing? It’s not like this path is magically the way out. The dark voice said in an annoyed tone of voice

“I’m not trying to get out. I’m trying to find that damn scroll. So stop your whining already.” Jason said as he kept running. Jason stopped as he saw writing on the walls but couldn’t make it all out as some blood covered them

“We were…the God’s revenge…light only…the Goddesses words can…it all.” Jason read as he tried to fill it all out with the words used. His guns didn't work and neither did the weapons down here, except for the All-Blades “Sunlight, or any bright light, must be the only thing to harm them. And the scroll must have some spell that could stop or possibly end all these things.” Jason concluded as he heard another loud screeching sound. He summoned the All-Blades into his hands as he saw multiple smaller bat-like creatures flying towards him. He ran on top of a rock and leaped forward, slicing through multiple creatures as they burst into flames. But many more kept coming, they surrounded him and started lifting him up, Jason sliced through them as he started falling. Before he landed on the ground he was grabbed and pinned to the wall by a giant ugly ass looking scorpion. Its giant stinger leaked some black ooze as it lunged forward. Jason sliced off the claw that pinned him and ran across the scorpion’s head, slicing off its stinger and then stabbed it in the head. Killing it for good.

If these things killed an army, what makes you think you can win? They’re just gonna keep coming and coming and coming. More of them each time. Probably get even bigger, too. Hahahaha! The dark voice mocked him

“I-I can’t just stop. I have to keep going,” Jason said as he saw another path open up.

How do you know this is even the way? For all we know this could just be leading you to your death. You've been through so much, you need to take a hard earned rest. The voice told him.

“I don’t need rest. I just wanna go home.” Jason sighed softly

Home? Hahahaha! What’s waiting for you there? A so-called ‘family’ that hates you and wants nothing more than to lock you away! Hahah!

“They do care! T-They…they have to…”

Ah, you don’t sound so sure. Hahaha! The voice laughed. Jason groaned loudly as he kept moving. Going deeper and deeper and fighting off more and more of the creatures. The dark voice was right. There were more of them each time and were getting bigger and harder to kill. He stopped after entering the 10 pathway and just rested against a rock, the All-Blades disappearing

You can’t go on forever. You can’t go home and you can’t go back to Ponyville. Besides, it’s peaceful in the dark. The dark voice said. Jason took off his helmet and sighed.

“It…it is…”

“Why don’t you just rest. Maybe…even see dear mommy and daddy, again.” The voice spoke as Jason looked down at his pistol, seeing his reflection. Take that long rest, you’ve earned it. The voice told him.

“Yeah…that sounds…nice.” Jason closed his eyes as he brought his gun to his head.

Just as Jason was about to pull the trigger, something shot the gun out of his hand. Jason gasped and snapped to attention and looked around. He then heard footsteps approach him. From the shadows came another human, to Jason’s surprise. He wore casual clothing and had his arms stretched out towards him. From his hand were small cinders and smoke wisps swirling around his fingers.

“You weren’t actually serious there, were you schizo?” The human mocked.

“Fuck off.” Jason groaned as he pulled out his other pistol and tried to pull the trigger, only for the other human to shoot it out of his hand with his weird smoke hand. Jason glared at the figure and stood up, walking towards him and reeling his arm back. His stance was too wide so the other human easily dodged his punch.

He’s a trick! The cave is trying to stop you! The Dark voice shouted. Jason gritted his teeth and lunged at the hunan. Swing his fists at him wildly. Jason was one of the most skilled fighters of his world, but right now? He was no better than a common street thug.

“Dude, seriously, I’m not trying to hurt you,” the human said as he effortlessly dodged Jason’s punches and kicks. “You need to calm down.”

“Stop it! Stop talking!” Jason shouted, gripping his head as he groaned in pain. Jason took out his knife and started swinging at him “Just leave me alone! All I want is to be alone! It’s what I deserve, damnit!”

“Ugh, this is getting nowhere.” Before Jason could blink, the human rushed forward and slugged Jason in the gut. Jason lurched forward and the human shoved him to the ground on his back. Before Jason could stand up, the human summoned larger smoke wisps that seemed to press down on Jason and keep him from moving.

“There, now we can talk like civilised people,” the human said, brushing off the dust from his clothes.

Jason struggled against the strange smoke binds and glared up at the man.

“So what now? Gonna take my soul or have your weird ass pets eat me for lunch?” Jason asked

“Dude what?” The human arched a brow, but then tapped his fist on his hand. “Ah, I see, you don’t think I’m real.”

“The fuck do you think?!” Jason barked.

“Hmm, ok, if I weren’t real, could I do this?” The human leaned down and smacked Jason across his face. “Or this?” The human smacked Jason across his face again and twisted his arm, giving him a sailor burn. “Or maybe…this?!” He stuck his finger in his mouth and jammed it in Jason’s ear, giving him a wet willy.

“Gah! Motherfucker!” Pulled his head away and shook his head “Damnit, Damian, I’m gonna fucking-” Jason stopped as he remembered that it was just the guy that did this. Not Damian, something that that little demon would do “Fine. If your ass is real, why the fuck are you here?”

He came here to drive you insane. Well, even more insane than you already are. The dark voice inquired

“You shut the hell up, okay? This conversation is between me and mister second hand smoker over here.” Jason told the dark voice. Although he was only talking to himself.

“You’re starting to freak me out, dude,” the human deadpanned. “I wish the girls told me you were a schizo.”

“The girls?” Jason asked.

“Oh you know, Fluttershy, Twilight, Rainbow Dash, and the other girls.” This surprised Jason that he knew his old friends. “Even little Scootaloo, who looked pretty damn heartbroken after hearing you bailed.”

“What? What did you do to them?! Are they safe?! Answer me, asshole!” Jason demanded as he narrowed his eyes and glared at Axel, nearly making him take a step back as he struggled against the smoke binds

He must’ve killed them! Kill him! Kill him! Hahaha! The dark voice cackled wickedly

“Dude, relax! If you must know, I actually saved the lot of them,” the human said. “A band of Minotaur mercenaries were sent to Ponyville to ice you, the leader nearly killed Scootaloo, not once, but twice! I managed to step in at the right time and wiped the floor with them. So to answer your question, yes, they’re all safe and sound. You have my word.”

Jason sighed in relief after hearing this, his worries put to rest as he was glad to hear that they were all safe

“…Thank you…” Jason muttered. “Look, can you let me go? I think I landed on a rock and it’s uncomfortable as hell.” Jason asked. The man took a moment to think but eventually freed Jason. Jason sat up and tossed the rock he landed on away. “Thanks. Now then, who the hell are you and why are you here?”

“Name’s Axel Rickert,” Axel nodded. “And I’ve been looking for you for a whole week.”

“Why?” Jason wondered.

“To bring you home, those mares miss the shit out of you, man.”

“They…they miss me? N-No, they can’t miss me. They shouldn’t. I’m not someone…who should be missed." Jason said softly

He’s lying to you. Trying to get you to stay! If you go back, you will only get them killed! The dark shouted as Jason gripped his head and groaned.

“S-Shut up! Let him talk.” Jason said to the voice “Why? Why would they miss me?” Jason asked Axel.

“Hmm…” Axel tapped his chin. “Well I can’t speak for them, since it ain’t my place, but I can tell you this. They miss you terribly, Jason, they all were shedding many tears when they read your note. And to prove it.” Axel reeled back and punched Jason in the cheek.

“Ow! What the fuck was that for?!” Jason barked.

“That was from Rainbow Dash. She said it was payback for ditching her and her friends. You should also know that Scootaloo ran out of the library in tears, arguably more heartbroken about you leaving town.” Axel smiled sadly at Jason. “They truly do miss you, man.”

Jason rubbed his cheek and looked down in deep thought, already seeing the tears of the mares and Scootaloo's eyes. Jason then chuckled coldly.

“I really am a fucking dumbass…” He said softly. Jason looked up at Axel “I can’t go back, not yet anyway. These creatures, they need to be locked away for good. My bullets barely did a thing to them. If they get out, millions of people will die.” Jason explained “I found some writing and there may be a way to end all of this.”

“What is it?” Axel said as he helped Jason back to his feet

“There is a scroll that contains powerful enchantments. If we can find it we might be able to find a spell that can lock these creatures away, or kill them, whichever one works. The deeper I went in the more I found out about this place. If I’m right we should be near the treasure room. That’s where it’s most likely hidden.”

“Well, what are we waiting for?” Axel said as he patted Jason’s shoulder. “Let’s take care of business.”

“Wait, you’re gonna help me?” Jason asked.

“Well sure, might as well, and maybe you can finally go back to the ponies who actually do care about you.”

“Something tells me I’m going to get hit. Like, a lot.” Jason chuckled as he put his helmet back on and holstered his pistols. The two then made their way deeper into the catacombs. Finding more and more skeletal remains of warriors and other unfortunate souls that lost their lives down here. Soon the ground shook and a low deep roar could be heard.

“That doesn’t sound good,” Axel said as smoke covered his hands.

“Yeah, I’ve played video games. We’re definitely gonna fight whatever the hell that thing was.” Jason sighed as he then saw a shiny golden Khopesh next to a skeleton. He stepped towards it and found a journal, opening it he skimmed through it “Axel, listen to this.” Jason used his helmet to translate the words.

“I was a fool. I tried to play God and control the power of which I did not understand. I thought I could ensure my empire a thousand years of growth and power, but I merely doomed it. To whoever reads this please, fix my mistake and banish these creatures from whence they came.”

Jason read the journal and closed it.

“Looks like this must’ve been the Pharaoh.”

“And not a very good one.” Axel reached back and pulled out both his two-pronged weapon and great sword. “You ready?”

Jason cracked his knuckles and nodded. Walking ahead they came across a large set of stone doors.

“I got this.” Axel stepped forward and used his powers to smash open the doors with his power to control stone.

“You’re gonna have to explain to me how the hell you do that later.” Jason said as they walked inside, seeing a massive room filled with numerous riches and a Pharaoh tomb in the center. Jason stepped towards it and looked around, soon opening it to see an old piece of paper. He grabbed it and unraveled it to see it was the scroll he was talking about.

“This is it. Whoa…if I’m reading these right, these spells can do some serious damage.” Jason started reading through it and found what they were looking for.

“There’s a spell that awakens the shadows, it says to undo the spell one must read the incantation backwards.” Jason said, but before he could start the ground started to shake and crack open. Causing Jason and Axel to fall.

“Shit! Not again!” Jason panicked as they fell. A sudden flash of light shined and he felt two hands under his arms. He looked up to see Axel carrying him and a pair of digital-looking wings flapping on his back.

“That was a close one, best to get to the bottom the safe way,” Axel smirked.

“…You are just a clusterfuck of powers, you know that, right?” Jason said as he felt a bit embarrassed that he felt like a puppy being held by its owner. Jason then saw something move in the corner of his eyes and looked around, it was like the walls were moving “Uh…Axel? You think you can lighten things up a bit?” Jason asked

“Hm? Yeah, sure.” Axel then fired a small spark of lightning and then the two saw the giant face of perhaps the biggest shadow creature they had ever seen. It was like the size of a castle.

It let out a loud deep roar and opened its jaw, seeing hundreds of building sized razor sharp teeth.

“Go go go go!” Jason shouted as Axel flew back to avoid the jaws of death

Axel flew out of the way as the monster snapped its jaws but missed them by a hair. Axel flew as fast as he could as the monster chased them, snapping its jaws and missing each time.

“Any ideas on how to put ol’ fido down?!” Jason asked. “Because I don’t think my guns will do the trick!”

“I got one, but you ain’t gonna like it. You need to read the spell backwards to seal the shadow fuckers permanently, right? Then you figure that out while I keep him and any of his little friends busy!”

“How’re you gonna do that with you carrying me?!” Jason asked. Axel smiled apologetically at Jason. “Oh no! No no no no, you better fucking not-!”

“Sorry man!” Axel let go of Jason and he was sent free falling into the deep dark hole while Axel faced his opponent.

“I’m gonna fucking kill yoooooooooooou!” Jason shouted as he fell, taking out the scroll and looked at the spell. Trying to read it backwards, but he was soon tackled by one of the flying creatures and landed on the back of the giant monster. Jason summoned the All-Blades and killed it, looking back he saw that creature was like a giant hive as more and more creatures crawled out of holes from its back.

“Oh God, that’s fucking gross. Ew ew ew.” Jason quickly stood up as the creatures were heading towards him. Stuffing the scroll in his jacket he used the All-Blades to fight them off while trying to keep his balance as the giant shadow beast thrashed around “Try leading it up to the surface!” Jason shouted

“I thought the plan was to get rid of them so that they don’t get to the surface!” Axel shouted as he sent multiple bolts of lightning at the beast

“Just do it!” Jason was grabbed by the throat by a tentacle of a bat creature but he sliced it off his neck and killed it.

“You better know what you’re doing!” Axel launched multiple neon blasts at the large creature. “Come on, you big fat fuck! I got your five course meal right here!” He flapped his wings and flew upwards as he slashed and bashed any smaller shadow creature away.

The creature used its massive claws to crawl its way up towards Axel while opening its mouth, aiming to swallow Axel whole but Axel quickly flew out of the way, making the creature eat the ceiling and soon burst free to the surface. It was now nighttime and the creature crawled free from its underground prison. It let out a mighty roar and spawned more creatures from its back.

Jason was knocked back and falling once more, taking the scroll he started reading the spell backwards. With one last shout he cast the spell. Soon the creature roared out in pain as it, and the other creatures, looked as if they were fading away and turning back into shadows as they were dragged back inside the massive sinkhole.

Axel flew down and grabbed Jason before he could hit the ground. Jason looked at Axel and laughed.

“Hahahahahaha! Magic, bitches!” Jason laughed “Did you see that?! Did you see that shit ?!”

“I saw it, man, that was crazy,” Axel chuckled

“I literally thought that wouldn’t work, no lie.” Jason grinned.

“I honestly thought you lost your damn mind.” The two shared a laugh as they reveled in their victory of just saving the world.

“That sure was fun,” Axel sighed as he calmed down. “Reminds me how I once took on a whole pack of dragons back in my dimension.”

“Your dimension?” Jason said.

“Oh yeah, I never mentioned. Well, to make a long and boring story short, I’m from an alternate Equestria and from an alternate Earth.”

“No shit? Wow, that explains a lot,” Jason said.

“Yep, so now that we saved the world, why don’t you head back home to your friends?” Jason then frowned and looked away as Axel sighed. “You’re still hesitant, aren’t you?”

“How can I not be? Back home, I…I was killed. And when I came back, I was driven off the edge. I killed so many people, many of whom…were innocent. I tried to change, but I couldn’t. All I could do was make sure it was the real bastards that got what they deserved. But them? Fluttershy, Twilight, Rarity, Applejack, Luna, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie, Celestia, Scootaloo, Spike, they don’t need a monster like me in their lives. All I will bring them is pain. I…I just want what's best for them.”

“And you call leaving a note, bailing without saying goodbye, and not coming back what’s best for them?” Axel asked, crossing his arms. “Besides, I don’t think an alleged monster, as you call yourself, would risk life and limb to take down an ancient shadow beast for the sake of this world.”

“But I’ve killed so many people back home! And they’ve tried to kill me!”

“So have I.” Jason paused at the sudden confession coming from Axel. “And there’s plenty of assholes in my dimension who are after my head and who’d love nothing more than to hurt those who are important to me, but I keep my head up regardless.”

“How? How can you do that when you’ve taken lives?”

Axel held up his left hand and Jason saw a silver ring on his ring finger. “This is why.”

Jason gasped slightly at the ring and thought back to Fluttershy and the other mares, thinking about what life would be like if he did stay. Having a family, a lover, a home. Jason sighed heavily.

“…I hope I can make you all proud.” Jason muttered to himself as he gave a small prayer to his family, biological and adoptive “I’ll go back. Besides, I know my world is in good hands already.” Jason smiled under his helmet. He may not ever see his family again, but he would always remember them.

“Before we do, I’ve got something to offer you,” Axel pointed out.

“What’s that?” Jason wondered.

“A peace of mind.” Axel reached into his pack and pulled out a strange-looking key. It was silver with some sort of blue crystal of sorts in the center

“What’s that thing?” Jason asked.

Axel smirked as he turned around and held the key up towards the wall. The rocks began to move by themselves as they formed a sort of doorway. A bright light shined from the rocks and a sort of portal took form.

“What the hell?” Jason gasped.

“Yeah, I thought the same when I first saw it.” Axel chuckled as he tucked the key away in his pack. “Come with me, there’s some people I’d like you to meet.

Jason hesitantly followed Axel towards the portal. He had to shield his eyes as they stepped through but was completely blown away at what he saw. It was a world where giant floating islands were all connected with beautiful green forests, high mountains, incredible temples, and so much much more.

“Welcome to The Edge, Jason,” Axel introduced with a smile.

“Holy shit!” Jason gasped as he stared at what was probably the most beautiful place he had ever seen. It was simply breathtaking. “The Edge? What, is it on the edge of the multiverse or something?”

“Eh, more like a separate dimension consisting of floating islands. We’re actually on a huge floating island right now,” Axel said.

“It’s more than that, son.”

A sudden voice made Jason jump and turn around. A man easily a head taller than him stood with his arms crossed and a smirk. He looked like he lifted weights 24/7. His arms and legs were so huge. He wore a white t-shirt that surprisingly had the words AC/DC written on it, blue jeans, and black army boots. He had a thick black beard, short black hair, and a pair of large black feathered wings on his back.

“Yo, pops, how’s it going?” Axel said as the two fist bumped.

“Oh you know, the usual bull shittery,” the man joked. “So how was your search?”

“Cold, nothing there,” Axel shook his head.

“I see, well there’s plenty more where that came from.” The man looked down at Jason. “Who’s the kid?”

“Dear God, how many fucking venom doses did you inject?” Jason asked as he looked at the man.

“This is Jason, I met him on my trip to the other Equestria.” Axel introduced Jason.

“Yo.” Jason said. “And you are?” Jason held out his hand

“Joseph Huffstutler. Wolfman, ex-marine, king of Herot and Equestria, God of War, and this little prick’s father-in-law. Though, most just call me Joe,” Joe said.

“Okay, so we’re doing titles. Uh, I’m Red Hood, vigilante, one of the most wanted people in the world back in my universe, former Robin, and biggest pain in the ass to everyone who does bad stuff.” Jason shook Joseph’s hand, almost being crushed by it but Jason tried to power through it “So, what, you from a Twilight Earth or something? Always thought of myself on Team Jacob.” Jason joked.

“Ha! Damn, out of all the werewolf movies, that one is probably the stupidest. Anyway, I actually come from that universe right there.” Joe pointed up and to the right where they could see a giant tree with orbs all around the tree.

Jason walked over and went wide eyed at the tree and saw multiple orbs around it, seeing different dimensions of different worlds. Jason gasped as he thought of something

“Is…is there one of…” Jason choked up a bit as he prayed that maybe for once, for ONCE in his LIFE, he could have something that wanted. To stay with the mares he loved but also see the people who he cherished and loved again.

“Is there one of what? You’re mumbling,” Joe said while trying to get his attention.

“N-Nothing. Just a lot. Anyways, why bring me here? I thought you just wanted to convince me to go back to the others?” Jason asked Axel. Jason didn’t want to get his hopes up of seeing his family again, so he pushed that feeling down.

“And leave you with that schizo head of yours? Not a chance.” Axel turned to Joe. “He’s got some voices in his head that’s telling him shit that’s fucking with his state-of-mind. The kid deserves to go back with a clear head, there anything you can do for him?”

“Well, we could do what we did with you and Dante, we’ll just have to convince Angrboða
with a little more persuasion,” Joe said while thinking it over. “Though, maybe Ash has a simpler solution since it’s getting rid of voices and not separate entities.”

Jason looked at them and stepped up. “If there is a way to stop this, then do it. I don’t want to hurt the ones I love because I’m too fucked in the head.”

No no no! What are you doing?! I’m trying to keep them safe! You’re just gonna get them hurt, or worse! The Dark voice shouted. Jason groaned and held his head. You can’t get rid of me, you need me!

“Agh! Fuuck!” Jason groaned and hissed in pain as he head was throbbing.

“See what I mean?” Axel said.

“Okay, no waiting, we’re heading to Jötunheim, now.” Joe brings out his own key before plunging it into a large boulder that opens a portal that blasted them with freezing cold air. “Alright, go on through, and no magic and try not to get squished.”

“Oof…forgot how fuckin’ cold it was here,” Axel said as he zipped up his hoodie.

Jason stepped inside and shivered a little, his armor built to keep him cool or warm no matter what environment, but it wasn't completely perfect.

“Jeezus, we better meet fucking Santa Claus if we’re out here in the cold,” Jason said as he crossed his arms “Who we looking for anyway?”

“Angrboða, Loki’s lover, and mother to the three children that’ll bring about Ragnarok.” Joe trudged forward while the others followed. “She’s an expert in Hugr magic, that’d be mind magic to you, and she separated Dante from Axel. The only problem is, we pissed her off before we left, so now we might have to pull something out of our ass to get her help.”

“Wait wait wait. Loki? Ragnarok? This all seems like a bullshit crossover someone thought of while high off their ass or at the last second,” Jason said “If you all pissed her off, I might be able to earn a favor from her. She hasn’t met me so she doesn’t really have a reason to be mad at me.” Jason told them as he followed Joe through the harsh winter weather

“He ain’t wrong,” Axel shrugged. “Is she the type to hold grudges?”

“She gave birth to a giant snake, a colossal wolf, and a woman that’s literally dead on one half of her body. Yeah, she can hold a grudge. And, I like your idea. We’ll show you where she lives, then you ask her what you need from her. She’ll ask you for a price, you tell her you’ll get it, then you come back and we’ll go get it.”

“Well, this day just keeps getting better and better,” Jason muttered as he nodded “Alright. Lead the way.” Jason said. Checking his weapons to make sure they were fully locked and loaded, although he was a bit low on ammo. About a few clips left for his pistols.

As the trio made their way to a flat rock in the middle of a clearing, Joe jumped onto the boulder before pointing to the right. “The house is right over there. You might be able to see it with your detective vision.”

“Wait, how did you know about my detective vision?” Jason asked, narrowing his eyes at Joe “On second thought, tell me later.” Jason used his detective vision to look around. Joe was right. There was a house up ahead. “Any tips before I go in?”

“Be respectful and straight to the point. Don’t pull out any weapons, they won’t do anything against her except piss her off. Don’t mention we’re here,” Joe said while getting a fire started.

“Not piss her off? Shit, that’s gonna be hard.” Jason chuckled before heading over to the house. He sighed softly and knocked on, what he thinks, the door and waited for a response

Soon, Jason heard thumps from within the house. The thumps got louder and shook the earth more as the door opened to reveal the owner of the house. Before Jason, a giant woman with jet-black hair, blue skin, and tribal tattoos stood before the door looking down at him. Jason honestly thought he was looking at a cross of Bane and Mr. Freeze as a woman, wearing a fur bikini that hugged her muscular frame quite nicely, causing him to stare. “Who are you, and what are you doing at my door, mortal?”

Jason stared up in complete shock as he was NOT expecting her to look like that.

“Mark me down as both terrified and…slightly aroused…” Jason thought

Same, The dark voice said in agreement

“Uh…I’m here to get another voice in my head out,” Jason told the giant, blue skinned, Goddess. Jeezus, she tall. “I’m Red Hood, by the way.” He held out his hand.

“Hmm, yes.” She then leans forward and taps Jason’s helmet. “I can tell.” She swivels around while gesturing to come Jason inside. As Jason followed, he couldn’t help but stare at her big blue ass. “Enjoying the view?”

“E-Er…kinda?” Jason shrugged sheepishly, making the giantess arch a brow. “Ugh, okay fine, you’re very hot and I was staring at your ass. Happy?”

“Very,” Angerboda said with a wink. She took a seat on her armchair while gesturing for Jason to sit on a couch opposite her. “So, what kind of voices are you dealing with? Random word voices, Tourettes, or a voice belonging to someone from your past that inflicted terrible pain upon you?”

Oh, she’s good. She’s not far off from the truth, yet she is so, so far away. Hahahaha! The Dark voice laughed. Jason groaned while holding his head.

“The third one,” Jason sighed as he sat down. “Been a goddamn pain in the butthole ever since I got resurrected in that damn Lazarus pit…”

“Hmm, the voice seems to not know when to be quiet, even around others. I believe I might be able to help you. But, I require payment,” Angrboða said while leaning in her chair.

“Of course there’s a price. What do you want? A grand, two grand?”

“Does it look like I need your money? No, what I need is three things from you. A lock of fur from a man who’s as wild as a wolf, the tusk from the eternal boar, and the sound of a dwarf’s scream.”

“The what and what?!” Jason deadpanned. “Are any of those things even real?! How do you even physically get a scream?! And from a dwarf no less!”

Hahahahahahahahahaha! She’s even more crazy than the both of us! The Dark voice laughed maniacally.

“I will shoot myself to shut you up,” Jason said to the voice

I call that a Win-Win! Jason groaned and shook his head.

Angrboða got up and led Jason out the door where he started for Axel and Joe.

“So, did she give you a price?” Joe said while eating a rabbit haunch.

“Yeah, a tusk from an eternal boar, a dwarf’s scream, and a lock of fur from a man who is as wild as a wolf? I have no fucking clue what any of that means or where, but yeah. Let’s go.” Jason sighed.

Ooohoho! This is gonna be fun! The dark voice cackled.

“Yeah, it will be fun to get rid of your fucking ass.” Jason snapped at the voice

You’ll never get rid of me. I will always be a part of you, Jason. You and I are one, forever.

“Well, I can help you with one of those items right now.” Joe stands up from his spot before turning into a full Lycan, making Jason jump a little. Joe then grabs onto some of his arm hair before he yanks it out, causing him to whine a little. Joe turns back before Handing his hair to Jason. “There you go. What were the other two things again?”

"The tusk of an eternal bull."

“I thought it was a boar?”

“Whatever.”

“Ok, well. We can stop by my Equestria and visit Brok. He’s a Dwarf, and I’m sure he’d love to scream for ya. Might even give some of your weapons an upgrade,” Joe said while plunging his key into the snow and opened a portal to Brok’s forge.

“Bull, boar, goat, whatever the fuck. Let’s just do this,” Jason said as he groaned, his head throbbing but powered through it. Following Joe into the portal. “I wouldn’t mind having a few new weapons. You can never be too well armed or well armored.”

As they stepped through the portal, Jason recognized that they were at Sweet Apple Acres and in some kind of forge, by the looks of it.

“Hun? Is that you?” Jason looked to see, to his surprise from the recognizable voice, Applejack walked in. Instead of an anthropomorphic version, she looked like a normal pony, by his standards. Next to her was another familiar face, Princess Luna also as an equine.

“We thought that was you, our love,” Luna chirped. “And Axel too!”

Jason was shocked to see this as he wasn't expecting to see the others so soon, especially in an alternate dimension

“A-Applejack? Luna? Holy shit, you two…are so fucking tiny!” Jason laughed as they were very short compared to him now. Luna was probably at his chest or neck while Applejack was about above his crotch a bit. “It’s just so fucking adorable!” He continued to laugh.

“Hilarious. Hun, what did we tell you about bringing the crazy ones home with ya?” Applejack asked Joe while Luna quirked a brow at Jason.

“I know, dear. This was kind of dropped on me and Em’s husband brought him.” Joe apologized

“Not my fault schizo head here was about to blow his brains out,” Axel shrugged. “What was I supposed to do, let him?”

“Name’s Red Hood. The Multiverse’s sexiest, most badass, biggest pain in the ass, Vigilante.” Jason introduced himself after having calmed down from seeing how small pony Applejack and Luna were. “Any of you seen a dwarf? I need him to scream into a jar, or box, or whatever we’re using.”

“A vial, you red dickhead.” Everyone turned to a blue dwarf that brought out a vial and stared at Jason. “Also, I agree with you on being a pain in the ass.” The dwarf wore blue overalls and had a few armor pieces of fine gold and wood on his shoulders and legs.

“Sup, Brok, how’s that boil on your ass?” Axel joked. “Still haven’t popped it yet?”

“I’m fixing to just plant my ass in the forge and burn the annoying little puss ball off!” Brok barked.

Hahahahaha! It’s a blue leprechaun! Oh my God! This place is a riot! The voice laughed. Everytime he spoke Jason groaned in pain as his head throbbed

“Whatever the fuck it is, I need you to scream in it so we can move on,” Jason said, the throbbing getting worse

It won’t work, Jason. I’m still gonna be here. We’re gonna be best. Friends. Forever. The dark voice laughed madly.

“Fine.” Brok took the vial and put it up to his mouth. “Eat my sweaty blue balls, you giant bitch!” As Brok cursed into the vial, it started to fill with a purple liquid. When Brok was done, he corked it and handed it to Jason. “Here, this one’s on the house.”

Jason grabbed the vial and shrugged. “Meh, fuck it. Yo, Brok, was it? You think if I come back you can give me a few upgrades to my gear and weapons?” He asked. Wanting to make sure that when he gets back to the mares he will be fully capable of protecting them.

“Sure. Just bring them to me and Wolfy will flip the bill,” Brok said while pointing to Joe.

“Thank you, Brok. Alright, now all that’s left is the tusk from the eternal boar. Guess we’ll head on over to Asgard.” Joe turns to Jason. “So, ready to meet with the gods?”

“Are they ready for all this?” Jason gestured to all of him as he smirked under his helmet, only to groan and fall to one knee.

Wonder if these Gods will do the job for you? the voice whispered in Jason's ear

“Let’s just get going.” Jason panted slightly as he stood back up.

Joe pulled out his key and plunged it into the wall. A door opened and a golden light appeared before them. Joe turned to his wives and gave them each a kiss. “Be back soon. And I’ll tell your father you said hi, Lulu.”

“Thank you, dear,” Luna said before the three men went through the portal.

"Jason, welcome to Asgard."

Jason gasped at what he saw and was stunned that Asgard looked this amazing, it was like a mix of futuristic and medieval times combined.

“I swear, I’ve seen this In a movie somewhere,” Jason said he followed Joe and Axel towards the kingdom of Asgard.

“You may have. Truth be told, I’ve seen you before in movies and my son here is based on a famous video game,” Joe said while pointing at Axel. Jason snapped his head to Axel for an explanation.

“Uh…yeah, I kinda already knew who you were from the very start,” Axel said sheepishly.

Jason took a step back and stared at both of them. “Okay, I wanna know how exactly you all know me? You knew about my detective vision, and you seem to know what exactly the fuck is going on with me. So spill it.”

“Alright, but try not to be too pissed off.” Joe snapped his fingers and a screen appeared.

Jason stared at the magical screen in shock as he watched Batman, Joker, and…himself? But he looked slightly different. The other Jason had black hair and didn’t have the J brand on his cheek.

“What…what is this?” Jason asked

Oooh, things just got interesting. The voice chuckled coldly.

“That’s you,” Axel said. “Well, you, in another dimension, but in a similar situation.” Axel paused for a moment as Jason continued to watch. “Joker held you in that abandoned wing at Arkham for over a year, didn’t he?” Jason slowly turned to Axel. “Made you believe Batman abandoned you, shot you, made Batman believe you were dead, so you became the Arkham knight to try and get revenge before you learned Batman’s side of the story. He never stopped looking for you, even after Joker sent the tape of your alleged death.”

Jason took a step back and took his helmet as he ran a hand through his hair. His whole world just shattered, yes he was aware of the multiverse, but never thought of this before.

“Damnit…” Jason groaned. “W-Wait. Can we see how things are on my Earth? Is that possible?” He asked, having a small shred of hope of seeing his family again.

“It would be a totally different thing. Anyway, we’ll show you after this whole thing’s over and done with. We’re about to meet with the All-Father.”

“So straighten that hair, kid,” Axel joked.

“This shit just keeps getting weirder and weirder,” Jason muttered under his breath as he followed Joe and Axel, admiring the beauty of Asgard. “I hope you two know that I ain’t bowing to no one, no matter who they are.”

“Figured as much. And there’s no need. The Aesir prefer that you stand and address them as if you were talking to a friend,” Joe said while they crossed the Bifrost.

“I like them already.” Jason chuckled as he eyed the place with amazement.

As the guys passed through the giant doors, they were met with warriors eating, drinking, singing, and even brawling. “Wow, seems we made it in time for the feast. And lucky you, the thing we feast on is the eternal boar.” Joe said while making their way over to the giant spit next to the mile wide and mile deep mead cauldron.

“Dear God.” Jason gasped as he saw the cauldron, shaking his head he looked around and saw a wonderfully cooked boat with massive tusks “There it is. Alright, stand back.” Jason took out three explosive batarangs and aimed at the tusk of the boar until Axel grabbed his throwing arm.

“We’re not blowing it up,” Axel scolded Jason

“Yeah, you’re right. Let’s use Thor’s hammer to break it.”

“Not needed.” Joe went over to the boar and grabbed its tusk before pulling it, snapping it from its head. Joe walks back over and hands the tusk to Jason. “See? No need for explosions or Mjölnir. Now, we’ll head back to Jötunheim and get the potion from her.”

“Huh. That was easier than I thought, but I ain’t one to complain. Now let’s get the Hell out of here. I got a lot of apologizing to do, a lot of hits to take, and maybe…some other stuff.” Jason blushed a bit as he thought of being with the mares in a more private and intimate setting.

“Looking to get laid huh? Can’t blame you on that front.” Joe said before grabbing three cups from a table and handing one to Axel and one to Jason. “To getting rid of voices in our head that aren’t caused by Alcohol. Skald!”

“Skald, or whatever you just said!” Jason took off his helmet and downed the drink, burping loudly as he didn’t expect it to be so damn good and so damn strong. “Jesus, I needed that.” He laughed.

Joe and Axel drained their cups before letting out a belch themselves. “Hah! Refreshing. Alright, let’s get these things to the giant and help you get rid of that voice.”

“Definitely-” Jason stopped mid-sentence as he groaned and grabbed his head.

No! This is all a trap! Don’t you see what they're trying to do?! They are trying to tear us apart! I am trying to keep those mares alive! What will happen when Joker comes for them?! The Dark voice shouted.

“Jason, you okay?” Joe asked.

If Joker comes he will slaughter all of them! The only way to keep them safe is leaving. Or ending it all. The dark voice warned.

“W-We gotta hurry…” Jason said as he gasped, feeling his chest tighten and finding it harder to breathe. Almost like he was being choked.

“Alright, let’s get this shit over to Angrboða and kick that voice to the curb and stomp its teeth in,” Joe said before opening a portal to Jotunheim.

You can’t get rid of me! You need me! I was the one who was keeping you alive all these years! If it weren’t for me, you would be nothing more than a worthless weeping mess! An empty shell! The voice shouted.

“I don’t FUCKING need you! I could have had a fucking life! I could have been fucking happy!” Jason shouted back. He took out his knife and stabbed himself in the leg, grunting “Fuck! That…that should shut him up for a bit.” Jason sighed. Taking his knife out and grunting in pain a little.

“Damn. A little extreme to silence a voice, don’t you think?” Joe asked Jason as they made their way through Jotunheim again.

“Talk about extreme measures,” Axel said. “Want me to heal that?”

“Been through worse, but yeah,” Jason said, the voice shutting up. For now, anyway.

As Axel used his power to heal Jason, they made it back to Angrboða’s house. “Alright, we’ll wait out here while you take the stuff to her.”

Jason thanked Axel and nodded at Joe as he made his way towards Angrboða’s house. Knocking on the door as he was greeted once again by the tall, muscular, insanely hot Goddess.

“I-I got the stuff,” Jason said, looking up at her large blue bust.

“Hmm, about time you got here. I was starting to get bored~,” Angrboða said before walking back in with Jason following.

“I have been known to be worth the wait.” Jason chuckled as he followed her. Trying his best to avert his eyes away from her ass. Keyword being trying to, anyway. Jason handed her the ingredients she asked for.

“Thanks, stud, these’ll be good for a project I’m working on.” Angrboða then reaches into her bust and brings out a vial of green liquid. “Here. Take this, and call me in the morning~.”

“…Son of a Bitch…” Jason cursed under his breath as he sighed “Alright, thank you Angerbooba. I-I mean Angrboða.” Jason corrected himself as he headed for the door.

“Oh, and tell that wolf out there if he ever comes near my house again, I’ll call my neighbor to go stomping on his house,” she told Jason before heading to another room.

Jason tensed up a bit after hearing this, quickly walking out he headed towards Joe and Axel.

“She knows. Go go go! Before she has us turned into a bloody stain under a giant-ass foot!” Jason said.

“Figured as much. Alright, let’s get the hell out of here.” Joe opened a portal to the Edge and they entered the Citadel. “Okay, we’re safe. For the next five minutes or so.”

“So you gonna take a swig?” Axel asked.

I’m warning you, Todd, you drink that, and you’ll regret it!

Jason looked down at the vial and thought about Fluttershy, Luna, Scootaloo, and all the others he cared for back in Equestria.

“Down the hatch,” Jason said as he took off his helmet and chugged the whole vial in one go “Angrboða said to meet her again in the morning-” Jason stopped as he began coughing, and sweating profusely, as if his entire body was burning. He gripped his head and screamed as it was like his entire being was being ripped apart.

“Alright, Axel, get ready for whatever comes out. If anything, we’ll have to face some twisted version of Jason, or maybe even the Joker, which I’m not gonna lie, is pretty badass,” Joe told Axel while getting his ax ready.

“Got it,” Axel nodded as he unraveled his chains from his arms.

Jason screamed as some type of black being was seen being torn out from Jason, also screaming as well. Soon the strange black being was removed from Jason. The black liquid soon started to disappear and soon the figure became clear. It wore a purple leather trench coat, had green hair combed back with one strand sticking forward, white skin and wore advanced body armor with a bat symbol with a smile on it. The being growled angrily and turned to face them, it had a red bloody smile on his face, dark blue eyes, and a J branded on his cheek.

“You shouldn’t have done that,” The being said as he took out a crowbar. “Who wants their ass kicked first?” He took out a batarang that looked more like a razor sharp smile.

Jason was on the ground panting heavily as the process took a lot out of him. Before the psychotic version of Jason could attack, Axel wrapped both his chains around him and forced him to his knees. He then administered a large shock that made psycho Jason scream in pain.

“How’s that for electrotherapy?” Axel mocked.

The screaming soon turned into laughter as the psychotic Jason smiled and laughed madly at Axel.

“Ahahahahahahahahaha!” Soon a beeping sound could be heard under Axel and Joe’s feet as small balls with a smiling red bat on them beeped faster and faster. This was Jason’s darkness. A form of him if he had no morals but keeps his skills.

Joe slammed his body onto the bombs which exploded and lifted him off the ground a little. Joe smiled back at Psycho Jason while imitating his laugh. “What? No joy buzzer or acid-spitting flower?”

“Aww, is the big birdie not happy with his clown? Let’s see if we can change that!” Psycho Jason then pulled out a revolver and shot the chain off him. Throwing smoke bombs down and using his stealth to come up behind Joe and latch in to his back “Peekaboo!” Psycho Jason then stabbed Joe right in his side with a switchblade.

Much to Psycho Jason’s shock, the switchblade snapped off after making contact with his skin. “Wanna try again?”

Psycho Jason gritted his teeth in anger. “Why you little-!” Psycho Jason was soon tackled off of Joe by Jason. Jason getting on top of his dark voice.

“YOU!” Jason shouted as he started beating his dark self. “YOU PUSHED ME! YOU DROVE ME TO THIS! I COULD HAVE HAD A LIFE! A HOME! A FAMILY! BUT NO, YOU KEPT GETTING IN THE WAY!” Jason shouted with each punch.

Psycho Jason growled and pushed Jason off, soon getting on top of him

“I KEPT US ALIVE! ALL THOSE BEATINGS! ALL THOSE WHO TRIED TO HURT US! I WAS THE ONE WHO GAVE YOU THE STRENGTH TO FIGHT! WITHOUT ME YOU WOULD BE DEAD!” Psycho Jason shouted back. Soon getting kicked off Jason. The two jumped to their feet and started trading blows. Both were each other, their moves the same as they fought. Neither of them gaining any real advantage over the other.

Luckily for Jason, he wasn’t fighting alone. “Hey! Ceaser Romero was a better Joker than you, and he was with Adam West!” Joe mocked Psycho Jason before slamming his shield in his face and actually chopping his left leg off with his ax.

“Ahahahaha!” The psycho Jason laughed madly as he grinned wickedly. “YOU THINK THAT WILL HURT ME! I’VE ALREADY BEEN THROUGH HELL!” He then took out a small round object filled with some sort of gas. He tossed it on the ground and it sprayed out the orange gas.

“Don’t breathe it in!” Jason warned Joe and Axel, already knowing that it was fear toxin.

Axel summoned his digital wings and flapped them as hard as he could, dispersing the gas before it could have any effect on anyone. Using his Neon, Axel sprinted towards Psycho Jason and ran circles around him. The mad version of Jason was wrapped up tight in a neon straitjacket.

“That’s enough outta you,” Axel said as Psycho Jason fell on his back.

“Grrr! You bastard! You can’t get rid of me! I kept us alive! You need me!” Psycho Jason shouted. Jason walked up and aimed his gun at his dark self. But Jason…couldn’t pull the trigger. He slowly lowered his gun and dropped it.

“Y…you did.” Jason said. “You did keep us alive. You did keep us fighting. But…we don’t always have to fight.” Jason reached out his arm towards his dark self. The psychotic Jason laughed.

“What? Are we friends now? Don’t give me that shit! As if we are deserving of that bullshit!” He shouted.

“Bruce. Dick. Alfred. Tim. Damian. Barbara. They all gave us a chance, and we messed it up. Now, others are giving us that same chance, but we messed that up too… Maybe it’s time that we finally give ourselves a chance…” Jason said softly. “You are me. I am you. I can’t get rid of you, because you are me. So let’s use that anger to protect.” Jason still had his hand reached out to his dark self. The psychotic Jason laughed but it slowly started to die down and turn into cries of sadness. His dark self started to change and shrink down into Jason as a kid. In the end, deep down within his broken soul, that’s all Jason really was. A frightened kid who didn’t want to get hurt again.

“Let him go,” Jason told Axel

“Go ahead, son,” Joe told Axel while sheathing his ax.

“You sure?” Axel asked and Jason nodded. With a wave of his hand, the neon straitjacket disappeared, freeing the child version of Jason.

The child Jason and Jason then hugged each other, the child letting out tears that he has been holding in for so many years. Jason held his other self close to him as he felt like he was being put whole again. A bright light appeared and the child would be gone. Jason smiled softly and stood up.

“Is this what…peace feels like?” Jason asked, as he turned to face Axel and Joe they would see a very clear difference in Jason.

“I can tell that you now have a clear state-of-mind,” Axel nodded with a smile.

“And it clearly shows.” Joe pulls out a mirror from his bag and hands it to Jason.

Jason grabbed the mirror and looked at himself, gasping as he saw the branded J on his face was gone. Every time he saw it he was always reminded of his pain, his hell, his failures.

“It’s…it’s gone…” A single tear ran down Jason’s cheek as he smiled. “Thank you, for everything.” Jason said as he handed the mirror back to Joe.

“Any friend of my son is a friend of mine,” Joe said while taking back his mirror.

“I think I’m ready to go back home now,” Jason said.

“Well, you could,” Axel shrugged. “But not empty handed.”

“You’ve already done so much for me, I couldn’t possibly ask for more,” Jason said.

“That’s the beauty of friendship, bro, you don’t need to ask. Dad, you think Brok can whip something up for Jason? Maybe give his firearms a much needed upgrade?”

“I think he’d be up for the challenge. Why don’t you take Jason to the kitchens for some grub while I get him.”

“Thanks again, and tell Luna and Applejack I’m sorry for laughing earlier,” Jason chuckled softly.

“Can do,” Joe said before disappearing through another portal.

“Please tell me you guys have chicken or any type of meat? All I have been eating is salads and berries. It’s good, but I want some meat.” Jason asked as he followed Axel to the kitchen

The two walked through the halls and Axel led Jason to a room that was the kitchen. The room was very large and looked like it would put the royal kitchen in any royal palace or castle Jason had infiltrated back on Earth to shame. Standing in front of the many stoves was another human man cooking a dish. He was a tall man wearing a black hooded leather jacket, dark blue jeans, and black combat boots. Strapped to his back was a long katana blade, sheathed in its scabbard, and strapped over his shoulder. His hair was as white as snow, tied in a long thick braid that reached down to the middle of his back with a red streak intertwined in it. On his back was a pair of large wings that were black and webbed like a bat on the top half with a claw on the arm muscles and crimson red feathers on the bottom half.

Sitting at the counter, which made Jason do a double take, was a few drop dead gorgeous women. One was an anthro yak woman with beautiful thick fur, another was a pristine-looking anthro cat woman, and the last was a unicorn mare with crimson red fur and jet black mane that reached down to her lower back. All three women were more busty and curvaceous than Jason thought possible. The man glanced over his shoulder and saw the two walk in.

“Sup Axel, you’re just in time,” the man said. “I’m in the middle of making lunch for my girls.”

“You spoil us, Kai,” the cat woman giggled.

Jason quickly put his helmet back on to hide his blush and averted his eyes.

Think of the mares! Think of the mares! Think of the mares! He thought to himself as he thought back to Fluttershy’s soft warm lips, Rainbow’s nice firm ass, Applejack’s large and soft bust. Jason blushed at the thought and, if he didn’t have his helmet on, one would see the goofy grin on his face.

“Aw, the new one is embarrassed,” the mare cooed as she stood up and walked over to Jason. It took all of his willpower to not stare at her generous bust as it jiggled with each step. “Hello, young one, my name is Scarlett. What is yours?”

Jason bit his bottom lip and tried not to stare, but dammit it was hard! He thought back to Pinkie’s fat juicy ass and how her cheeks jiggled in that blue one piece she wore.

Shit! That plan backfired as now Jason had to fight off staring at Scarlett AND his boner “N-Name’s Red Hood, but you can c-call me Jason.”

“Red Hood?” The man said, his interest piqued. “As in Jason Todd, Red Hood?”

“Y-Yep! The sexiest, most badass, and biggest pain in the ass, vigilante in the multiverse,” Jason said proudly as he flexed a little. Chuckling a bit.

“Charmed, name’s Kai,” the man nodded as he prepared the ingredients. “You’ve already met my wife Scarlet. The other two are Brunehilde and Isabelle, my other wives.”

“Yak greets young human,” Brunehilde nodded.

“Hello, sweetie,” Isabelle waved.

“Hello, ladies. You have v-very beautiful wives, Kai.” Jason said as he didn’t want to seem rude or perverted to another man’s wife. Jason took off his helmet and sniffed the air. “Oh sweet Lord, that smells amazing. Please, may I have some?” Jason begged. He would have to get back to cooking soon when he gets home.

“Thanks, they’re just a few of many. You look like you need some meat in your belly.” Jason’s mouth began to water. “How’s about I grill you a good ol’ salisbury steak?”

“Oh my God, I see why you married him,” Jason said “Yes, please, thank you!” Jason said as he sat down. “If you don’t mind me asking, what dimension are you all from?”

“My dimension is in the middle of a power struggle with sexist tyrants who want to enslave the female race and force them into sexual suppression,” Kai answered. “I pop in from time to time whenever they need my help since a good friend of mine and the successor of my previous title have taken up the front lines.”

“And we’re from a universe where the male race was wiped out by a disease caused by an evil centaur,” Isabelle said, gesturing to herself and Brunehilde. “Kai and his brothers came to help save all the races of our world and we fell in love with him as time went on.”

“I also am from another dimension,” Scarlet said. “I used to serve a queen as captain of the guard. I wasn’t always the nicest mare, but Kai opened my heart to new feelings of compassion, which made me fall for him as well.”

“Wow, those certainly are one Hell of worlds. Kai, if you ever need some extra firepower, just say the word. I have a few experiences in taking down tyrants,” Jason said. “Same goes to all of you if any of you need help dealing with an asshole that needs their ass kicked and a bullet between their eyes.” He offered, always willing to help anyone who needed it.

“Yak appreciates thoughts, but actions not needed,” Brunehilde said. “Yak and fellow herdmates’ world gone. Destroyed by other evil monster.”

“All inhabitants of our former world have taken refuge here on the Edge ever since,” Isabelle explained further.

“Oh, I’m so sorry for your loss,” Jason apologized, a bit regretful for bringing up such a tragedy, even if it was by accident.

“Don’t be, since Kai gave us both a home and a gift to cherish for the rest of our lives,” Isabelle said, making Kai smile as he cooked.

“And what’s that?” Jason wondered.

“We’re home!”

From the other entryway, a group of young children came running in. There was a colt and a filly, a boy kitten and a girl kitten, and two young yak children. Each child had wings similar to Kai’s on their backs as a couple of them came flying in.

“Hey there, kids!” Kai waved as he paused from his cooking and knelt down.

“Daddy!” All the children cheered as they rushed over to Kai and hugged him close.

Jason watched as the children hugged their father lovingly, seeing their smiles of warmth and love made Jason imagine a life with the mares. A nice home, with little ones running around, his wives talking about their day, and maybe even a pet or two. Jason smiled warmly at the group hug.

“You have a wonderful family, all of you.” Jason said as he watched Kai play with his children.

“Thank you,” Kai said as he hoisted his filly daughter onto his shoulders and continued cooking. “These little ones are my pride and joy, along with their other brothers and sisters. They’re what keep me going and not lose myself.”

A few of the children approached Jason’s seat and gazed up at him curiously.

“Hello, kids, what’re your names?” Jason wondered.

“I’m Crimson Light!” The colt said, puffing out his chest.

“My name is Ragi,” the yak boy said.

“I’m Kiara!” The kitten girl said. “Daddy, who’s the man with the funny helmet?”

“A guest, sweetheart, be polite,” Kai said as he put the finishing touches on the meals.

Jason chuckled softly and gently patted Kiara’s head.

“It’s okay, I don’t mind. But if you really wanna see a funny helmet, look at this.” Jason took out his phone, something he had kept away as it brought too much pain thinking about his family, and showed the kids a picture of him wearing one of his old helmets, which looked like a giant red pill.

"My brothers back home gave me the nickname Pill-Head for a few months after that,” Jason told the kids which made them all laugh at how silly Jason looked, picturing the bad guys getting beaten by a giant walking pill.

“Soup’s on!” Kai said as his hands glowed a crimson red, like he was using magic.

The children all took their seats as he levitated plates of macaroni and cheese for them, vegetarian fajitas for his wives, and for Jason, much to his delight, a nice juicy steak grilled to perfection.

Jason removed his helmet and drooled as he saw the divine perfection of meat before him. He cut a piece off and took a bite.

“Mmm~.” Jason let out a single tear as he savored the flavor. “I died again and went to Heaven.” He said as he took slow bites of his steak, wanting to savor each and every single bite.

“I’m glad you like it,” Kai said as he snapped his fingers and the dishes were instantly cleaned up. He used his magic to levitate the pots and pans, seasonings, and cutlery back into the shelves.

“Can’t beat steak, am I right?” Axel said as he ate his own slab of meat.

“Very few things can, my friend.” Jason chuckled as he patted his stomach and looked over at the children. Jason smiled and made a few funny faces as the children giggled in amusement. Jason laughed a bit and stood up. “Hey Axel, what was it that you guys were looking for in my Equestria, anyway? Maybe I could help?” He asked, curious what they were searching for.

Axel looked at Kai for confirmation to which Kai simply nodded. Kai gestured the two to follow him out of the room and into an office room next door.

“Since you’re trustworthy, I’ll show you instead of telling you,” Kai said as he snapped his fingers. A screen appeared before them as a female voice played out.

The message foretold a brutal interspecies war fought in a parallel dimension. The beings who fought in this war were known as the Ancients, an archaic humanoid race. Jason watched the brutality between the Ancient factions, how they waged war on each other due to their ignorance and hatred for one another. The voice explained how in some of the Ancient factions, there were those who discovered a powerful psychic ability that allowed them to read minds and manipulate the brain. In their arrogance, they used said power to spawn a dark and unholy force known as the Evils. Untold numbers of undead and demonic monsters, creatures unlike anything Jason had seen before, were unleashed upon the Ancients home world. Jason watched as the brutality skyrocketed. Even though the Ancient factions had bounded together in a tense alliance to face the Evils, their numbers were devastatingly slaughtered on a species-wide scale. However, before their total extermination, one Ancient remained standing among the chaos. He was known as The Wise One, the wisest and most powerful Ancient psychic. He had vowed that the power of his people must never fall into the clutches of the Evils, lest the multiverse would collapse under a tide of pure, unbridled chaos. So, he made the decision to seal his power and knowledge away in stone large fortresses known as the Castles, along with two books with their intentions unknown. Jason witnessed The Wise One’s brutal last stand against the Evils. The Wise One used the last of his power to wrathfully curse all Evils, living and nonliving, dead and in limbo, to guard the Castles from any infiltrator.

When the message ended, Jason felt a very unsettling feeling of dread crawl up and down his spine. He’d seen and experienced his fair share of darkness, but this seemed like it was on a whole other level of chaos.

“Holy shit…” Jason gasped slightly. He looked down at his reflection in his helmet then looked up at Axel. “I’ll try looking into it back home. And if you ever need help with anything, know that all you have to do is call and I’ll come running.” Jason said with determination in his eyes. Wanting to do whatever it takes to prevent such an evil from happening again.

“I doubt you’d find anything in your Equestria, since I already looked around, but you’re more than welcome to double check since you’re the better detective.”

“What we’re looking for, Jason, is the third and final castle.” Kai reached into his jacket and pulled out a green book, surprising Jason. “I found this in my dimension, deep within the sea. My brother found the other one. The final castle we seek is the one that holds The Wise One’s power.”

Jason held the book and hummed in thought, examining the book before putting it down.

“I’ll ask Celestia and Luna about anything about this and, if I can get back to my earth, I could cash in a favor from an old friend. If he agrees to help, that is,” Jason told them. “If that’s the last Castle, then it must be the most guarded. We’re gonna need a lot of firepower to make it through.”

“Buddy, you don’t know the half of it,” Kai said as he took the book back.

“What’d I miss?” At the entrance, Joe came back with Brok as well as some other beings as well. Behind him came two guys that looked like him, but they had different hair and wing colors. And behind them, was a woman with hair like Celestia’s and had a very round belly, which told Jason that she was pregnant. “Sorry I’m late, but once I told my kids who Axel brought, they just had to meet him.”

“I just came along to chew out my husband for running off without telling any of us.” The pregnant woman said before fixing a glare on Axel. “Hello, dear.”

“O-Oh…hey Em-ow ow ow!” Axel yelped as the woman grabbed Axel’s ear and gave it a yank.

Jason glanced away and avoided the angry woman’s glare

“Nice knowing you, Axel,” he said. Shivering in fear as he thought what the mares back home would do to him after the shit he pulled.

“Sorry brother, but you dug your own grave for that.” The guy with dark blue wings and starry hair said before coming up to Jason. “What’s up? Names Orion. Son of Joe and Luna.”

“Nice to meet you. Name’s Jason Todd, but people call me Red Hood.” Jason shakes Orion’s hand before turning to the guy with blonde hair and orange wings. “So, who are you?”

“Names Jack, son of Joe and Applejack. And the woman yanking on Axel’s ear is our sister, Emily, daughter of Joe and Celestia.”

“Charmed,” Emily said to Jason before going back to Axel.

“E-Em, it was a mission! I was sent to find a Castle and-ow ow ow!” Axel yelped.

Jason glanced over at Emily and Axel and winced.

“I’ve fought a lot of powerful beings, demons, monsters, crime lords, psychopaths, but women? Women were by far the most frightening.” Jason said to Orion and Jack. “And I’m a dead man the second I get back,” he muttered to himself. Jason looked over at Joe. “So, did Brok make anything Special for me to kick ass and take names with?”

“Let me see what you got now, then we’ll go from there,” Brok said before getting a piece of jerky from the table.“If you want it upgraded, then strip.” Brok said before looking at one of the batarangs.

Jason took off his jacket, helmet and armor as well as his boots, since they were also made of the same material as his armor. He was then left in his skintight suit.

“Better be good, Brok. No half-assing anything,” Jason said as he put his jacket back on.

“Hey, you’re looking at the guy who made Gungnir and Mjölnir. These trinkets shouldn’t be too hard.”

“Make these as good as those, and I’ll buy you an entire bar worth of alcohol,” Jason promised Brok.

“I’m starting to like this kid.” Brok starts placing Jason’s weapons and armor in his bag before heading out. “I’ll have these done in a couple of hours. Why don’t you go beat your meat while I'm working.”

“I gotta get back to the kitchen with my family,” Kai said as he left.

“So how big is this Edge anyway?” Jason wondered.

“We don’t know yet, really,” Joe shrugged. “We only have a few dozen islands that are inhabited so far, but there’s still plenty to scour.”

“Ooh la la~.” Jason felt a pair of arms wrap around him and a pair of soft mounds press into his back. His whole body went rigid as he slowly turned to see an anthro female wolf dressed in a maid’s outfit, licking her chops at Jason.

“And who are you, you sexy little male~?” The female wolf cooed.

“Pfft, perfect timing, Avril,” Axel chuckled.

Jason gulped a bit as she was one very beautiful and sexy woman, it also didn’t help that since he wore nearly nothing that his minigun was trying to make an appearance

“H-Hi, name’s Jason,” Jason said as he bit the inside of his cheeks to stop his little friend. His eyes caught glances at Avril’s bust and thick thighs.

“Lord Joseph, where were you hiding this one?” Avril asked as she sauntered in front of Jason and grinned on his front.

“You have my son Axel to thank for this one,” Joe responded.

Jason eyed the wolf lady with a bit of red on his cheeks as he looked into her eyes, wanting to be at least somewhat respectful.

I swear to God, I’m gonna die from these women! Jason thought to himself as he kept trying to fight off his urges.

“Aw…little puppy embarrassed~?” Avril leaned in and gently licked the tip of Jason’s nose. The act made Jason’s face go beet red.

“Avril, that’s enough teasing the boy,” Joe chuckled.

“Lord, mares, please forgive me for what I’m gonna do.” Jason took a deep breath and looked directly into Avril’s eyes, leaning in a little.

“I ain’t little, doggy~,” Jason said as he reached over and gently petted her ear. A small smirk on his still beet red face as he tried to not come off as some easy teasing prey for her.

“Ooooh~. Bold. I like that~,” Avril said before she started to lightly pant from the attention, causing her bust to jiggle slightly.

“Ha! Not even here for an hour and he has the females drooling all over him. He’ll fit in here nicely,” Joe said.

Jason smiled softly and then leaned into Avril’s ear and gently blew into it, still scratching her chin.

“Who’s my good girl~?” Jason teased her, deciding to return the favor by lightly licking her nose and winking at her. Slowly letting his urges out, even if by a little.

“Oh man, Ash should be here to see this,” Joe said while holding back his laughter. Suddenly, Joe gets an idea. “In fact, why don’t we go meet him? He should be at his car shop in the scrap yard.”

Jason went wide eyed hearing about this car shop from Joe.

“A car shop? I would most definitely want to see this car shop you speak of very very much.” Jason said, he then looked at Avril and smirked “Wanna come~?”

“Mmm, in more ways than one~,” Avril told Jason before looking at Joe. “If it’s alright with you, my lord?”

“Go for it. The place looks pretty clean anyway.” Joe told her with a wink.

Avril then latched herself onto Jason’s arm, smothering his muscular arm in her large and soft bust.

“Then let’s go.” Avril rested her head against Jason’s shoulder as they followed Joe. Jason glancing back and mouthing payback at Axel as they left him at the mercy of his very angry wife.

“What kind of world is Ash from?” Jason asked

“It’s best if you ask him yourself. I’m still sketchy on the details.”

“Alright, if you say so.” Jason shrugged, feeling Avril slowly tracing her fingers up and down his chest.

“Just be patient, some things are worth the wait~.” Avril winked at him. Jason blushed heavily and glanced away.

Damnit, she's good! Jason thought as they continued to follow Joe

Rust Island

Joe had teleported Jason, Avril, and his sons onto a hilltop on a large island that was lush, green, and had several forests all around. The whole Island looked like a massive valley, a valley that had hundreds of cars scattered about, many of them were covered in rust and were returning to the earth and others seemed to be in good condition. Jason even noticed a pair of what looked like race tracks: one track was made of dirt and the other was asphalt.

“Whoa, now that is awesome.” Jason whistled in amazement as he saw the two race tracks. “I don’t know who Ash is, but whoever he is, he is a God of cars!” Jason said as he stared at some of the cars ranging from classics to modern to even some that look like they’re from the future.

“Maybe later you and I can go for a ride~? I want to see what’s under your hood~.” Avril gently licked the tip of his nose again. Jason blushed and chuckled shyly, then he scratched her chin and made Avril pant in pleasure.

“I’m worth the wait~,” Jason said before turning to Joe. “Now I’m really interested in meeting with Ash.”

“Right this way,” Joe said as he gestured to Jason and Avril to follow. Just then, a portal opened up and Axel stepped through rubbing his ear.

“Guess who’s on diaper duty for the next month,” Axel grumbled.

“I don’t envy you, dude,” Orion chuckled.

The group soon came to a large building that looked like a large garage with two rollup doors and one door was open. Just inside, Jason saw someone tinkering with the engine of what looked like a Super Bee muscle car and as for his figure, he was definitely a man who was wearing blue jeans and boots, but wasn’t wearing a shirt and was glistening with sweat.

“Ash!” Joe shouted.

“Hey Joe, I’ll be with you in a sec. I just need to fix this fuel injector,” the man called Ash said.

“Brought company,” Joe said.

“Alright, uh, one of you mind turning her over for me real quick? Keys are in the ignition,” Ash said.

“On it,” Jason said as Avril let him go, walking over to the driver’s seat. Jason turned the key and fired up the car. The car roared into life with a purr Ash then activated the accelerator and listened to the rev of the engine.

“Alright, perfect!” Ash shouted over the engine.

Jason couldn’t help but admire the car from the inside, running his hands across the steering wheel as he smiled.

“Holy shit, I haven’t seen this car in years! I remember my old man had one, but he sold it for some extra cash,” Jason said as he stepped out of the car, walking over to Ash and holding out his hand. “Name’s Red Hood, but you can call me Jason.” He introduced himself. Avril came up and leaned against Jason.

“Mmm, you sure know how to make your ride purr.” Avril giggled and then waved at Ash “Hello, Lord Ash.”

“Hello Avril, so what brings you to Rust Island?” Ash said as he gave a brief wave to Avril before he turned to Jason. Jason took note of Ash’s facial features.

His hair was black with a streak of silver going through his hair and it was all tied back in a pony tail but left a bit of a fringe over his face. His eyes were an olive green color and Jason noted that he was handsome despite the splotch of oil on his face and he was well built.

“Red Hood, you say? So, the world of DC has finally made its way out here, huh? I’m Ash Blade but you can call me Ash for short,” Ash said as he offered a hand only to realize his hands were smeared in grease. “Whoop, hold on.”

Ash made his way over to a small sink and began to clean himself up before drying himself before he dried his hands on a rag.

“Sorry, let’s try that again,” Ash said as he offered his hand.

Jason shook Ash’s hand and nodded. “Yeah, my…whatever you said, world is where I’m from,” Jason said.

“Just showing the new guy around. He fits right in~,” Avril said as she hugged Jason’s arm, wagging her tail.

“Joe thought it would be best if I met you while Brok makes some upgrades to my weapons and gear,” Jason explained.

“Ah, well welcome to my workshop. As you can see, this is where the work goes into restoring or customizing rides,” Ash said as he gestured to the building they all stood in.

“I can see that, I remember back when I was a kid I would steal car parts and sell them off to chop shops. Even worked on my bike when I became the Red Hood,” Jason said as he admired Ash’s skills with cars.

“Oh yeah you tried to swipe the tires off the Batmobile too, didn’t ya?” Ash asked. Jason laughed softly and nodded.

“Yeah, that was how I met Batman. I even gave him a spare tire for Father’s day but stole two of his tires.”

The whole group chuckled alongside Jason before Ash gestured to follow him outside.

“Okay well, on with the tour. Out here are the cars that need some care and everything is organized in time when they were made. But the more futuristic cars are just gathered together because, let’s face it, I have no idea when they were made. Down there, the tracks, that’s where I give the cars test runs once I believe they are ready for driving. A final check, if you will,” Ash said as he led the group through the massive yard of rusting metal.

“That’s pretty impressive, Ash. I didn’t think I would see a car ever again,” Jason said as he followed Ash.

“I can make sure you have one hell of a ride~,” Avril winked at Jason, making him blush.

“S-So, what kind of world are you from, Ash?”

Ash looked at Jason for a second before he went into thought before shaking his head.

“I came from a world that had its shares of ups and downs and I lost good people and made new friends. But if I’m being honest, I know very little about the Equestria I lived on before I came to live here…It’s been a while since I’ve been back,” Ash said.

“I’m sorry to hear that, I know what it’s like to lose a good friend,” Jason said as he remembered his best friend and how he died. “You built all these, right? Fancy a race?” Jason smirked.

“Oh, here we go,” Axel grinned.

“What, race in these wrecks? Nah, I’ll show you where the good stuff is,” Ash said as he led the group around the back to another building which looked like a bunker.

“Ash, you turned the bunker into…storage?” Joe asked.

“Well, no one else was gonna use it,” Ash said.

Jason chuckled and followed Ash into some bunker.

“Let’s see what you got.”

When they entered, Ash flicked a switch and one by one the interior of the bunker lit up revealing several rows of cars. Many were on racks that allowed cars to be stacked up on top of each other.

“These are the cars I finished and are ready to be sold,” Ash said.

“And to think, this place used to be filled with Nazi crap and a big ass portrait of Hitler on the wall over there,” Joe said while running a hand along a red muscle car.

“Before we took it and turned it into a dart board,” Ash said.

“And drew devil horns and stink lines. I do feel sorry for the artist though. He did good work, but it was for a complete jackass” Joe laughed

“Yeah unless of course he was a jackass too." Ash said.

“If this had mares, it would be heaven.” Jason stared in awe at the collection of cars stacked in the bunker. Avril smirked and got on the hood of a black and red mustang and laid down on her back facing Jason.

“Is this good enough~?” Avril licked her chops and giggled. Jason blushed heavily and looked away.

“M-Maybe…” Jason stuttered.

“Oh! Avril, hold that pose.” Joe brings out his phone and takes a couple of photos of Avril in that pose. “This should be perfect for the calendar. Definitely a May or June picture.”

Jason leaned over to Joe and whispered.

“Send me a copy.” His face a bit red

“Deal.” Joe grinned.

Avril smirked and got into a different pose, this time she was in a doggy style position and her tits pressed down against the hood of the car. Jason blushed heavily and looked away to stop his nose from bleeding. Avril giggled cutely.

Oh my gosh, he is so cute! Avril thought.

“S-So cars! Yeah, let’s talk about that!” Jason chuckled nervously.

“Or baseball, guns, making jerky, anything to distract yourself from the other Red Hood,” Joe said while making subtle gestures to Jason’s growing erection.

“Okay, but first Avril, if you intend to wax that hood you better get off the car,” Ash said.

“Do you want me to do it in a raunchy swimsuit or nude?” Avril asked.

“Nude!” Jason said, only to freeze as he realized that he just said that out loud.

Fuuuuck! He thought.

Avril smirked and started to undo her outfit. Jason turned bright red and had a bit of a nose bleed.

“Off the car, Avrill, you can play hide the apple with Jason later,” Ash said.

“Aww.” Avril whined as she did as she was asked.

“Goddamint, women will be the death of me.” Jason sighed softly as he wiped his nose. Pinching himself to get rid of his erection.

“So about the cars, take your pick for racing,” Ash said.

“Yes! Cars! Yes!” Jason said quickly as he looked around, soon stopping at a black Ferrari “Oh, yeah.” Jason smirked.

“Nice choice, but personally, that is more for cruising or special nights and for this race you want something for both on and off road,” Ash said as he made his way down the line of cars before he stopped at one. “Here we are, Quadra Type 66 Avenger.”

Jason gasped as he ran over to the car and knelt down, hugging it.

“I love it! Where have you been all my life?” Jason smiled as he hugged the car. “Keys?”

“Whoa, slow down. If you think that’s all, then you are gonna love this part,” Ash said as he summoned the keys and opened the car door before he brought the car to life. “Hop in.”

Jason quickly got in the car and waited for what Ash had in store.

“Okay, there should be a button right above the ignition see it?” Ash asked.

“Yeah, do I push it?”

“Go ahead but, uh, you might want to relax and let the machine do its thing,” Ash said.

“Do its thing?” Jason repeated.

“Yeah.” Ash nodded.

Jason pushed the button and then leaned back in the driver seat as he waited for the car to react.

Suddenly, the car locked his arms and legs in place and the car began to change going from a car to a silver motorcycle. Jason laughed and had a child-like smile on his face.

“Woo! This is awesome!” He said as he revved up the engine, hearing it roar to life.

“The vehicle has been installed with a Chimera Engine, a design of mine made with Technomancy that also affects the tires too for whatever you’re driving on. Hence, the second shift right next to the original or right here,” Ash said as he gestured to a dial on the side of the bike.

“This is…I can’t even…” Jason was completely overwhelmed with how far technology wise this vehicle was and how talented Ash was.

“I think he might pass out,” Axel muttered to Orion.

“Have your defibrillator hands ready,” Orion whispered back.

“Can I give it a test run?”

“I’ll do you one better. Since the engine hasn’t been tested yet, you help me test to see if she runs then, I’ll give you the keys.” Ash said. Jason gasped happily and jumped in his seat, he giggled happily like a child about to get a new toy.

“Yes! Yes!”

“Alright, relax, we know you’re excited. Now go slow outta here and drive her down to the tracks and test her out on both of them. Once there, then you can see what she can do,” Ash said.

Jason nodded and slowly took the motorcycle out of the bunker and headed down to the asphalt track. Once at the starting line, Jason revved up the engine, feeling the grips once more as he remembered back to his old bike. Jason then sped down the track, test running the back as he moved with incredible speed, feeling the wind in his hair as he laughed.”Wooohooo!”

Jason went around the tracks a few more times to test out each function according to the terrain until he came back to the group with a massive smile on his face.

“Smoothest ride I’ve ever driven! Not one fault,” Jason said.

“I’m glad, ‘cause as of now she’s all yours,” Ash said.

“Wait, what? A-Are you serious?!” Jason gasped as Ash nodded his head. “Yes! Oh, thank you, Lord! Woo!” Jason started doing donuts with his new bike. “Can't wait to show the mares back home this.”

“Glad you’re happy. Also, I should inform you that the engine runs on matter, like, just dumping anything in the fuel tank and it will convert it into fuel.” Ash said.

“Think of the ending to Back to the Future,” Joe said.

“Use trash for fuel, got it.” Jason chuckled. He started thinking about Equestria and turned to Joe “Hey, is it…possible if I could see my Equestria now? I…I just want to see if everything is okay over there.”

“Oh yeah. We can go to the map room and take a quick look. Axel, I assume you have your key?”

“Sure do, Pop.” Axel brought out his key and waved it around a little.

“Super. By the way, remind me to get Brok to make you a key as well,” Joe said to Jason.

Jason smiled as he was now thrilled and happy to go…home. While it was not his original home, Jason could make it into one. Jason turned the motorcycle back into a car and stepped out, walking towards Avril, Joe, Axel, and Ash.

“Take it, you’re ready to go?” Ash asked.

Jason nodded as he then followed Joe and the others through another portal Axel made with his key to a large room with some sort of mechanism with small orbs of multiple worlds floating around.

“Alright. Axel, put your key in and we’ll search your travel history.” Joe told Axel while accessing the map.

“Aw, come on, don’t look at another man’s bifrost history!” Axel complained while he handed Joe his key. “We all go to weird places!”

“It’s okay, Axel. We won’t judge whatever freaky, kinky shit you’re into.” Jason teased him as he playfully punched his shoulder.

“In any case, I just need to see the last Equestria you’ve been to. That being Jason’s Equestria,” Joe said before putting the key into the holographic map. Next thing Jason knows, a world similar to the other worlds on the map expanded and was brought forward. “Alright, there’s the Equestria you came from. Sorry to say, we can’t zoom in and see anyone moving around. We have to travel there to see the goings-on.”

“Hang on a sec.” Axel leaned in to look at the writing below the orb. “Oh damn, three weeks have already passed since you came here.”

“Must’ve been while we were in Jötunheim. Time passes by real quick while there. Hope you didn’t leave with something important hanging on ya,” Joe said.

“Three weeks?!” Jason went wide eyed after hearing how long he has been away “Oh fuck, oh God, I’m dead.” He muttered. “I left many heartbroken mares back home and will possibly get my ass kicked.” He turned to Joe. “Tell me Brok is finished with my gear. I NEED to get back home, asap.”

“Not alone, you’re not,” Avril grinned, her hands on her hips. “I’ve decided to come with you!”

Jason blushed a bit as he looked over at Avril.

“W-Why? Not that I don’t like you coming, just curious why you wanna come back with me?”

“Oh, this should be good,” Joe said while letting out a chuckle.

“Somebody call for an upgraded armor?” Brok came in with a newly upgraded set of armor and weapons, along with one of Kai’s wives, Isabella. “Got that shit you wanted. Also, since I know how you turds work, I got the stuff needed to make a key for the newest turd.”

Brok set down Jason’s new armor. Jason smirked as he saw his new upgraded armor and weapons. He then suited up and donned his new and improved red helmet. His body armor appeared to have been made of a completely new sort of metal as it was so much lighter yet it felt like it could take a hit from a truck and still be fine There were also more pouches for ammo. The leg armor was made of the same material as well and now had crotch armor, which Jason was very thankful for, and new shoulder armor and gauntlets. His jacket now had a red hoodie attached to it and a red bat symbol sewn on the back.

“Now this is what I call being prepared for war.” Jason chuckled. Feeling Avril come from behind and hug him.

“Ooh la la~, you definitely look like you’re prepared for anything~.” Avril teased him. “As for why I’m coming, I think you’re cute, and I wanna know more about you, sexy~.” Avril winked at him. Jason blushed heavily but smiled under his new helmet.

“I wouldn’t mind getting to know you more either,” Jason said to her. “Thanks for the upgrade, Brok. I’ll be sure to pay you back,” Jason said as he admired his new armor.

“Don’t worry. I’ll write you a tab. Now, take off that helmet and pluck a couple of hairs from that greasy scalp of yours,” Brok said while bringing out a mold.

“Okay. Why do you need my hair?” Jason asked while taking off his helmet.

“Think of it as a way to lock in on the universe you came from,” Axel said while tapping his own key.

Jason shrugged before giving Brok a lock of his hair. “Thanks.” Brok put the hair into the mold before placing it on the ground. “Your highness. If you please.” Brok directed to Isabella.

“Alright.” Isabella went and stepped on the mold before Brok took it back.

Joe then flaps his wing over the mold before lighting it on fire. After a minute or so, Brok hocked a loogie onto the mold, cooling it instantly. Brok reaches in and brings out a key. “There ya are. One genuine key to the realms, fresh off the pot,” Brok said before handing it to Jason.

Jason grabbed the key and held it, looking down at it he sighed softly. He was a little hesitant to go back as he had a sense of doubt in the back of his mind. Would they want him back? Would they still love him after he ran off? All these thoughts plagued his mind until he mentally slapped himself. No! He came too far just to back out now. Jason was going to make damn sure he moved forward and make a change for the better. Jason held out the key and used it to open a portal.

“Don’t forget this,” Ash said as the motorcycle rode in, tossing the keys to Jason. Jason chuckled and got on the bike with Avril getting on behind him.

“Let’s go, handsome. I wanna see your Equestria. Hope you got room in your little herd for me~.” Avril nuzzled his cheek. Jason looked at Joe, Axel, and Ash.

“Thank you, all of you, for everything. I won’t ever forget what you all did for me, and I’ll be sure to repay all of you. If you ever need me, just give me a call.”

“Will do, bro, peace.” Axel gave him a two fingered salute and the others waved goodbye.

Jason nodded back to them once more as he then drove into the portal, heading home.
