I am Jude

{Rainbow Dash}

When Eli told me about his idea to bring Samantha in on the situation to help us pull Logan out of Jude, I quickly summoned Samantha to the Castle in Canterlot. Once Samantha arrived, she bowed to me when she got close to the throne.

I really don't want to have to say what I need to say to my old boss. I thought. Then I groaned, "You can look at me now Samantha."

Samantha chuckled when she stood up, "I heard that Princess Rainbow Dash. You're the ruler of Equestria. Just because I'm your former boss, doesn't mean I don't have to give you the respect you deserve princess. Anyway, to what do I owe the pleasure of being summoned by the ruler of Equestria?"

"It's about my son Jude," I said.

Samantha tilted her head. "Excuse me? Did you just say Jude? Isn't that the baby that was taken from you at six months old?"

I nodded. "Yup, that's him, follow me."

"Yes, your highness," Samantha said.

We walked down the hallway to Jude's room and I started to explain things. "Remember when Oliver and I escaped AI's castle about four years ago and we found out who the ruler was?"

Samantha nodded. "Yeah, I couldn't hear in your thoughts who it was because the Elements of Harmony were blocking me from hearing it."

"Well the ruler of AI was my son Jude." I said, "When AI sends out a baby for it, it will take the baby and transform them in two years into a young adult."

Samantha's jaw dropped. "Seriously?"

"Yeah, but in Jude's case since AI picked him to be its ruler, Jude went from a helpless baby into a young adult in a matter of weeks." I explained, "Apparently, when AI did that, it unknowingly unlocked Jude's magic. In turn it led to AI's demise. It was his, Ivy's, Eli's, Milo's magic and the Elements of Harmony that helped shut down AI. Now Jude's magic is out of control and there's a demon god named Logan possessing him. Fortunately Jude doesn't believe any of it, the more he's in denial, the more there will-"

I paused when we got closer to Jude's room, "Three, two, one..."

"LOGAN'S NOT REAL!" Jude roared.

Samantha's jaw dropped. "Wow, if that's not denial, I don't know what is." She paused when she saw Eli, "Wait for a minute! You're that Firewall Eli guy!"

Eli rolled his eyes. "Yeah? Apparently, I have magic too. I take care of raising and lowering the moon and I take care of the boring Night Court. You know Rainbow Dash, it's too bad I can't sleepwalk out of there, like when you sleep fly out of Day Court."

Samantha laughed, "I remember Oliver of course now it's Prince Oliver told me you sleep fly princess."

I rolled my eyes. "Okay, okay you got me, so exactly how are we going to-"

"LOGAN'S NOT REAL!" Jude roared again.

"Okay, okay," said Ivy, "I get it! Calm down Jude, seriously!"

Samantha jumped back startled by this, "And who might that be?"

"That would be Ivy, Jude's wife," I said, "they have a son together named Leo who is growing up like a normal child so far. If he wasn't he'd be a teenager by now."

"Wow, that machine messed things up so bad," Samantha said, "I'm glad it got shut down."

I nodded. "Yeah, so how do we do this before Jude roars again?"

Eli shook his head. "I don't think he's going to scream again. Ivy has him under her magic now. Good thing Leo's not here, this would probably give him nightmares seeing his father like this."

"Yup I can agree with you on that," I said.

When we entered the room Samantha paused and had a look of horror on her face when she saw Ivy desperately trying to keep Jude under her magic. As if on cue Bunny-Na hopped right over and sat down next to Jude as close as he possibly could. Bunny-Na doing that seemed to help calm Jude down.

"And where have you been Bunny-Na?" Ivy snapped.

I was sleeping, Bunny-Na thought, last time I checked, I can sleep right? Jude's last roar woke me up, sorry.

"Okay," said Samantha, "am I in an alternate universe or something?"

I laughed, "Nope, it's more like 'or something."

Samantha frowned. "I can't work with him while he's awake."

"Why not?" I asked.

"Because I can sense from here that he's highly stressed out. I can't work with someone in his condition," Samantha said.

I thought about it, "Well we could try the-"

"No sleeping!" Jude snapped. "In case you're wondering, I can hear people's thoughts and no I can't see the future, but I can see through walls and I have acute hearing times ten! No, it's not fun!"

Samantha was speechless at first but then she regained her composure, "Well, if we can't make him sleep, we should at least give him something so he can relax."

I nodded. "Sure I'll ask Zecora and see if she can come up with something."

* * *

I contacted Zecora and she made a potion that was strong enough to make Jude calm down and not be aware of what was happening so much. She wasn't sure if it would make him fall asleep but it would at least keep him from teleporting randomly and barely aware of things.

So I gave the potion to Jude and he reluctantly drank it. It did exactly what Zecora said it would do. It looked like Jude was under some sort of hypnosis. Ivy, Eli and Milo took Jude to Samantha's realm. Once they got there, they looked around Samantha's realm in awe but Oliver and I were unfazed by it. That's because we had to report to Samantha for our assignments while working at the Sixth.

Samantha chuckled, "Yeah I know, this place is something else isn't it? In case you're wondering why Princess Rainbow Dash and Prince Oliver are unfazed by this place, it's because this is where they had to report to me for their assignments when they were working for the Sixth."

I rolled my eyes. "At least I don't have to wear that stupid doorbell behind my ear anymore. That thing was just as annoying as the blood barrier was painful! No way I'm doing that again. You'd have to use dark magic on me to get me to do that again."

Eli raised an eyebrow. "Uh, blood barrier?"

I deadpanned, "You don't want to know."

"Oh," Eli said.

"Okay, lay Prince Jude down on this bed closest to the cauldron over here," Samantha instructed.

I noticed that Jude looked completely out of it when we laid him down on the bed.

"Wow, what did you give him, Princess Rainbow Dash?" Samantha asked.

"I gave him one of Zecora's potions and it did exactly what she said it would do. I'm just surprised it didn't make him go to sleep in the process," I answered.

"Well, no matter, let's get down to business," Samantha paused. "I can tell by Prince Jude's received wounds from what's happening to him. I can see from the one on his right cheek. Where's the other one?"

I sighed, "That would be a burn on his left arm. It starts at his shoulder and ends at his elbow."

"Is that why he's wearing a long sleeved shirt?" Samantha asked.

I nodded.

"Well, I don't necessarily have to take his shirt off to look at the wound," Samantha said. She went over to her work desk and grabbed one of her crystals. She touched Jude's left arm with it and her eyes went wide. "I've never seen this type of wound before! Yeah, there's definitely something wrong here. Let me see if the cauldron will pick anything up."

I gulped when I heard that. "Oh boy, I hope I don't hear what I think I'm going to hear next."

"Unfortunately, you know the drill princess," Samantha said.

I looked over at Eli to see he had a puzzled look on his face. "What are you talking about Rainbow Dash?"

"You'll find out soon," I said.

Samantha chuckled as she grabbed a chain and clipped the crystal onto it. Before she could do anything, Jude mumbled, "Mom? Where am I?"

I lied, "Jude, we're in your room."

"Hmm yeah I don't think so," Jude mumbled, "my room doesn't feel as strange as wherever I am."

"It's okay Jude, either way you're in a safe place okay?" I said hoping this reassured him.

"Okay…" Jude mumbled. Much to my surprise Jude actually fell asleep after that.

"Wow, that was some strong stuff Zecora made for him," I said, "But it shouldn't surprise me because she has a tendency to overdo it sometimes."

Samantha shrugged. "Okay, let's continue."

Sure enough, as soon as Samantha hung the crystal over the cauldron, it started to spin around the edge of it, and a loud booming voice came from it, "Round and round the cauldron we go, where we'll stop, nobody knows!"

Eli shuddered. "Yeah, that's creepy."

"Yup," I agreed.

We looked into the cauldron to see a guy that reminded me of Discord a little bit because of the beard. But he looked different because of the horns on his head.

Samantha crossed her arms. "So that's Logan huh? Now that you think about it, I've seen him before."

I raised an eyebrow. "Seriously?"

Samantha nodded. "Uh-huh, Logan is known as the trickster god. He can change into any shape or form he wants to. He can also change his gender at will."

"Why would he do that?" I asked.

Samantha rolled her eyes. "Probably to play a trick on someone, he's a trickster god, duh!"

I looked over when I heard Eli laughing. "Gee I wonder why he didn't choose you as his vessel instead Rainbow! You do like pranks, even when you were inside of AI. Remember when you tricked me into bungee jumping blindfolded?"

Oliver snorted. "Seriously? You did that Rainbow?"

"What?" I growled. "He dumped a bucket of water on my head and put a roaster in my bed at the same time so that prank I did was payback!"

Everyone except me and of course Jude who was knocked out at the moment, laughed at what I just said.

"AI just had to send me to pose as your brother Rainbow." Eli said, "Although the relationship was short, it was fun while it lasted."

I rolled my eyes. "Aww that's sweet Eli, it seems you do have a heart, I'm touched."

"Hey!" Eli responded.

"Okay, okay," I said, "so how much magic are we going to need to pull Logan out of Jude?"

"Well since it's a god that's inside of Prince Jude," said Samantha, "one of two things can happen. One, since Logan chose a vessel that already has magic, Jude's magic might just push Logan out on its own. Only problem with that is it might be painful. Hopefully, Prince Jude won't be driven to madness enough to acknowledge that Logan is real. Another thing that could happen is Logan could die because of his stupidity. I wonder why Logan chose a vessel instead of just using his magic to shift into anything he wanted? Although I have seen a face off between Prince Jude and Logan as a vision, I'm not sure who will win though."

I panicked and thought, Losing Jude to that demon god Logan? No way! Not if I got something to say about it! I'll lend Jude some of my magic if necessary, he will survive this and I will do everything in my power to make sure he does!

Samantha nodded. "I heard that princess. That just might work. By lending Prince Jude all the magic and love you give him can possibly help him out."

I breathed a sigh of relief. Well that's good. Too bad I can't just use the Royal Canterlot Voice to shout Logan out of him.

Samantha paused. "Uh, Royal Canterlot Voice?"

"Seriously Samantha?" I said. "Do you have to zone in on my thoughts all the time?"

Eli whistled. "Wow, you weren't kidding about her being able to hear people's thoughts Rainbow."

"I heard that, uh, is it Prince Milo or Milo?" Samantha said.

"It's Prince Milo," Milo responded.

"Anyway, do you have to have a gutter mind about Prince Jude now?" Samantha said, "He must be good in bed if you're thinking of him like that at a time like this."

Milo's face turned red as a tomato and he looked away.

Eli laughed, "I'm sorry Samantha, Milo always has a gutter mind even in serious situations."

Samantha snorted. "Okay then. I'm curious, what is the Canterlot Royal Voice?"

"It's something a ruler of Equestria can use to calm down an angry mob or to get ponies attention when no one's listening." I explained, "I'd rather do that than do a song and dance routine like Twilight did. There's no way I'm doing that anytime soon. Nope, not doing it!"

"Can you show it to me?" Samantha asked.

I gave Samantha a wary look. "Are you sure about that?"

Samantha nodded. "Well yeah you've piqued my curiosity."

"Okay then, but don't say I didn't warn you!" I cleared my throat, "I AM THE RULER OF EQUESTRIA! AND YOU SHALL LISTEN TO ME!"

The Royal Canterlot Voice shook Samantha's realm. I saw that Jude was still asleep. Wow, Zecora gave him some potent stuff.

Samantha looked over at Jude and nodded. "Yeah, I agree princess because Prince Jude would've been woken up if it weren't for whatever potion he drank."

I clicked my tongue trying to keep myself calm. I guess the only thing I can do now, is hope that I can lend Jude all the love and magic I can to help Jude defeat Logan.

{Eli}

I smiled as I watched Jude sleeping. I thought, Wow, he's been out for almost two days now! I wonder if what Zecora gave him put him a coma or something? This could work in my favor too.

Jude began to stir and he opened his eyes. "I heard that Eli, and if you tell me Logan is real one more time..."

"Okay, okay," I said, "just stay calm for me, we don't need you getting upset right now."

I was puzzled when I saw Jude had a horrified look on his face. I tilted my head. "What's wrong Jude?"

Jude grabbed a nearby pillow and put it on his lap and pretended nothing was wrong. I laughed because I knew exactly what Jude was hiding.

Jude shook his head. "Nothing's wrong, I'm fine."

I raised an eyebrow. "Uh-huh."

For some reason a thought popped into my head and I wondered if Ivy had given Jude a blowjob before.

"Uh, excuse me?" Jude said, "Yeah Ivy did mention something like that. She said she didn't want to do it so I didn't push her into it."

"Huh, interesting," I said. I didn't give Jude any warning of what I was about to do next. I made him lay down and pulled back the covers to reveal the huge bulge in his pants. That's exactly what I thought.

I took off his pants and underwear and smiled when I saw it. I put my mouth on it and started sucking on it. I enjoyed the fact that Jude kept squirming as I did it. I sensed Jude was getting ready to get off so I stopped sucking on it and played with it a little bit just enough to encourage Jude's orgasm. When it happened Jude screamed with pleasure.

I found that I was turned on by Jude's scream and I didn't warn him about what I wanted to do next either. I got undressed from the waist down and climbed on top of him. While Jude likes to make his partners scream during sex, I like to make mine squirm. I pushed into him and he did exactly what I wanted him to. Judging by the way Jude was moving he was enjoying himself, which worked for me because I didn't want to stop anytime soon. Before I knew it, I climaxed. After it was over with, I got off him and I just laid there staring up at the ceiling as I often do after sex.

Jude's breathing slowed and I looked over to see that he was asleep. I thought, Okay then, well that takes care of that. I wonder why he doesn't do that when he takes the lead?

I didn't think of anything else except for maybe Jude was knocked out again from sex because of being asleep for so long. I started to feel tired myself after watching Jude go back to sleep so I yawned and went to sleep.

{Ivy}

It was right after breakfast, seeing that Jude wasn't there mostly because his wounds started acting up. I went to our room to go check on him. I paused when I entered the room. I could've sworn I heard Jude talking, but if he was it might've been to himself because he was laying on his side of the bed not facing me. Why can't anyone hear my thoughts? I can hear everyone else's thoughts, but no one can hear mine? Why do I have to be different from everyone? Why me?

What Jude was saying or at least I thought he was saying disturbed me. So I thought I should say something, "Uh, Jude? You know if you keep asking the 'why me' question you're going to drive yourself insane right?"

I'm not even going to answer her. I heard Jude say or at least I thought he said it.

"Jude, seriously," I said, "now you're not even going to answer me?"

Jude paid me no attention, well he did just say or I thought he said he wasn't going to answer.

Okay, now what? I thought.

Then I heard Jude again, Now what? Now what? I could care less, I don't want to hear anyone else's thoughts at the moment. But that's not going to happen I wish I could get my stupid magic under control so I can turn this stupid power off!

"Okay that's it Jude!" I shouted, "Knock it off already!"

Jude snapped out of his self pity and sat straight up turning to look at me. "Knock off what?"

"First of all, the 'why me' questions," I said, "then I'm not going to answer her and I wish I could turn this power off thing? Have you gone nuts? Because if you have I can talk to Rainbow Dash so she can send you to a good therapist."

Jude didn't answer but somehow I heard him even though he wasn't saying a word.

Could I possibly be hearing Jude's thoughts? I thought.

"Yeah I doubt that!" Jude snapped. "Now would you please leave me alone? Don't you have something important to do other than babysit me? If I recall correctly we do have an actual baby, a son named Leo. Why don't you go babysit him? Last time I checked I'm a grown man or have I all of the sudden become The Boy Prince Jude now? And here I thought you didn't think of me that way."

"I don't think of you that way Jude, I'm just- I said.

"Concerned for my safety!" Jude shouted, "In case you didn't notice, Logan's not real! So drop it and leave me alone already!"

I had no words to say to Jude. My jaw dropped and as quickly as it did, I picked up off the ground. I could sense Jude starting to get angry so I backed up, not wanting to continue this conversation. Thankfully, Bunny-Na seemed to know what was going to happen, he hopped up on the bed and sat down next to Jude.

Jude, please stay calm, Bunny-Na thought, although I do understand your frustration with everything that's been happening to you lately.

"No kidding," said Jude, "and now my wife seems to think she can hear my thoughts. Lovely."

Well, actually I think she can. Bunny-Na thought.

Jude narrowed his eyes at Bunny-Na, "What are you talking about Bunny-Na?"

Well for starters, everything she listed before you snapped at her, even though I can communicate by thought, I can't actually hear your thoughts. I saw the whole thing. While she was talking to you, you weren't saying a word. Bunny-Na thought.

"Yup," said Jude a look of disbelief, "now I've seen everything! My pet bunny and my wife are playing one big joke on me. Yeah I'm going to lay down again. Go away Ivy, will you?"

Once again I was stunned, I didn't have a word to say to him. Before I left, I heard Jude's thoughts, Lovely, my wife is a nutcase now! Prefect, just perfect!

As I walked out of the room I thought, I'm not responding to a word of this. Nope, I'm not saying a word.

Even though I didn't respond to Jude's thoughts, I knew I had to tell someone about this. For some reason, the first person I thought of was Eli.
