Welcome back every pony! So far, this finale looks to be pretty good based off of what you're all saying. Honestly, I really do hope that the rest of the story will be just as good as it's been so far.

Anyway, here with me for the intro today is some pony that none of you would've ever guess, Granny Smith! *The view goes over to Granny, who's asleep in her rocking chair* Um... Granny Smith?

Granny Smith: Huh-what's it-who now?! *She asked, snapping awake. When she looks around, she gets confused* Uh... Where am I again?

Granny Smith, you're in the intro... Remember?

Granny Smith: Oh that's right. You wanted me ta talk about Ponyville in its prime right human boy? *she asked, turning towards me*

Kinda. You see, I thought it would be best to explain the difference between Ponyville and Pony Valley. And since the Apple Family were the ones who started Ponyville, I thought it'd be best to bring you here.

Granny Smith: Oh right I remember now... I think... *She then goes into thought for a second and remembers* Oh, I got it! Ya see young-uns, the Apple Family was the beginin of Ponyville. But that wasn't the start a Pony Valley. Long before I was born, most a Equestria wasn't as green and leafy as it is now. In fact, lots of it was desert and barren wasteland. That is, 'cept fer Canterlot a course. Canterlot was taken care of, and watered as what most ponies back then would relate to as a fancy garden. So, Pony Valley eventually fell apart, and all them ponies moved away 'cause it was too dry. But eventually, as more and more water came in, Everfree forest started a growin. That's when the Apple's came in with our orchards.

Thank you Granny Smith. So yeah like she said, Pony Valley was before the Apple Family set up shop. So for any of you that's wondering how the timeline fits in, it goes like this. Pony Valley, abandoned, forest and grassland, Apple Family, Filthy Riches family, beginning of Ponyville, today.

Granny Smith: Ain't that just what I just said? *she asked, getting confused*

Err... Well... Yes... *she then hits me over the head with her walker* OW!

Granny Smith: It ain't polite to correct ponies! Mind yer elders sonny! *she hit me over the head again*

OW, I promise I will! Sorry! *she then mumbled something in confusion as she went back to her seat* Now, let's show Granny Smith the top three comments!

3: dazza. As cool as fuse bombs are, I don't think they were around during the western times. Still cool though. And my most favorite thing ever would have to be video games. Honestly, my randomness wouldn't even be close to what it is now without them.

2: Justus80. Trust me, Whipper will get his. I promise you at least that much. And also, the Bowie nife has got to be my favorite sword/cutting weapon of all time. (Besides maybe a lightsaber) One of the reasons I love that knife is not only did the inventor of the Bowie Knife fight in the Alamo, but it's just so awesome!

1: ONIMOT. To be honest, I never even heard of Jonah Hex until you mentioned him. When I did, I looked him up on wiki (I know that you can never trust that site, but I just read through it all anyway) and the summary of all the stuff that happened to him just sounds amazing! Oh, and also dynamite... Best. Western Explosive. EVER!

Now with that all said, let's start the chapter!

Granny Smith: *Beats me over the head with her walker again* Be quiet, I'ma tryin ta get some shut eye! *She grumbles some more as she goes back to her rocker, falling asleep in three seconds tops*

Ow... I need like a bodyguard or something in these intros, cause I get hurt almost every time... Anyway, start the chapter.

What... What happened? Where am I? Why does my eye hurt so much?

As I woke up, I felt a sharp pain in my left eye. My eyelid was still closed, and I felt a strap around my head. I carefully put my real hoof over my left eye and felt some kind of cloth over my eye. I guessed I was wearing an eye patch.

"Aw, thank Celestia yer up!" I turned towards my right and was met with Spectrum Light hugging me out of relief. I was caught off-guard by the whole thing.

"Spectrum?... What're you doin here? And... where is here?" I asked, looking around. It was hard to see with just one eye.

"Yer at the local doc's Alamo. Since ya stood up ta The Whipper, every pony in Pony Valley thinks yer a hero. So the doc agreed ta help with yer eye." She filled me in.

"What happened to my eye anyway? I can't remember..." I said, trying to remember myself before she could tell me, but couldn't.

"Well... It ain't pretty. Ya see, as soon as y'all saw me and Flitter Calm runnin towards ya, the masked one acted quick and whipped ya right in tha left eye. We tried ta send ya to the doc as soon as we could but..." She didn't know how to finish the rest.

"But it was too late huh?" I guessed. That means that my eye was... gone.

"Yeah... But on tha bright side, the doc had a glass eye. And since he's a unicorn and all, he knew how ta enchant it so you can still see through it. But ya gotta keep that eyepatch on till ya feel better. So guess that means ya gotta be careful." She said kind of acting like a nurse, which didn't fit at all for any pony in Rainbow Dash's family.

"Bright... Oh yeah, any chance a purple unicorn mare came by? Goes by Sparkle Bright?" I asked, knowing that she had to have heard about what happened afterwards.

"Oh yeah. Her." Spectrum said with a hint of jealousy for some reason. "Yeah, she came. Just who is she anyway?" She asked.

"Just a friend a mine." I told her. "I figure that if you two were taken me ta the doc's, then she might know what's goin on with Whipper."

"Oh. Well in that case, she's just outside the tent. I'll get her for ya." She said, going outside the tent. It was really small so it was just big enough for a patient to sit in a bed, and one other pony like the doctor.

After Spectrum left, Bright came in about ten seconds later. After closing up the curtains, she looked out to make sure that Spectrum stayed a good distance away. When she was sure that Spectrum wasn't right next to the tent, she turned towards me.

"Okay, Blitz was it?! We have a serious problem!" She said, being a little quiet.

"Voice change by choice." I said, changing my voice back to normal. I didn't like the western accent that much so I was glad to turn it back to normal. "Yeah I know. Don't worry though, I don't blame you for my eye getting messed up like this. It's all Whipper's fualt." I told her, hoping to calm her down.

"No, that's not it at all! Look, before the doctors, Flitter, or especially Spectrum could find it, I snatched that picture you had of you and your friends. But when I looked at it to make sure it was okay, I saw this!" She showed it to me, and I saw that Rainbow Dash was fading in and out of the picture.

"What?!" I said a little quietly, shocked at the sight of it. "What's happening to Rainbow Dash?!" I asked.

"Sh!" She hushed me quickly, not wanting any pony to hear me. "I have a theory, but it's not good. You see, since you saved Spectrum from that sign, then later today stopped Whipper's gang, she thinks of you as a hero! A hero that saved her!" She explained to me.

I already didn't like where this was going, but I knew there was more to it. "Yeah..." I motioned for her to keep going, showing that I was with her so far.

"And now since your basically the bravest pony in Pony Valley, not to mention the 'Hero of All Pagasi', she grew an attachment towards you. And to seal the deal, she got you to a doctor's and saw a weaker side of you. Now that she's seen and accepted both these acts with gratitude and happiness, I fear that she's falling in love with you!" She concluded.

"Wha..." I went wide-eyed, seeing just what she was talking about. But I did not want to believe it. "Oh-no. No, that-that can't be happening. You're exaggerating right?" Not seeing her react, I asked again. "...Right?..."

"Does this answer your question?" She showed me the picture again, Dash still fading in and out a little. "Or how about the way she sounded jelous when you asked for me to come in?" She guessed on that, but knew that probably happened. And she was right. "Or what about this?" She used magic on the tent so we could see through it like a one-way window. And we saw Flitter Calm and Spectrum Light, along with the doctor, all around the fire. Spectrum Light sighing in happiness... At the thought of me.

"You aren't kidding...Oh crap..." I said to myself, now for the first time in years actually scared. Scared that I just single-hoofingly messed up the future without even trying. "Well... what does it matter anyway? If I'm being going back to my time, then she'll be fine and eventually forget about me right?" I asked, hoping for her to agree.

"Wow, you're clueless about love aren't you?" She asked with a slightly angry expression. I simply shrugged, not sure how to answer to that exactly. I mean, being a loner for most of my life before Equestria left me without friends, or a love life. But Spike still thinks I can help him to win over Rarity, so in a way I guess I wasn't completely clueless about it.

"Whatever, we can think of a better plan about that later. But the main thing is, we need to get you out of here. Whipper won't stay done from your previous fight." She told me.

"Wait, didn't I just have a fight with him like two hours ago?" I asked, confused. There is no way someone can be up and running perfectly after a brand on their leg just a few hours ago.

"No. Blitz, you've been out cold for a while now. Look." She used her see-through powers again on the roof of the tent. And that's when I saw that it was the night sky.

"What? How... How long have I been out?" I asked her, turning back to her.

"About seven hours. It just got dark a while ago. Another thing that proves Spectrum's feelings about you, because ever since the doctor finished the operation, she's been at your side." Bright told me.

Wow, she really is similar to Rainbow Dash. Loyal all the way. "Alright, well maybe if I just ignore her and act un-interested she'll figure it out." Again, Bright just sighed at my idea. Guess I really am clueless about love. Either way, it was the best idea I could come up with.

"Whatever, we'll figure that problem out once we get to it. Right now, we just need to get out of here. Come on, let's get going." She said. "The doctor said you can walk around, but just keep that eyepatch on. The spell should take effect by sometime in the next two days and it'll be as if nothing happened." After telling me that news, she then headed outside, leaving the picture in here.

I picked it up and started to put it bac in my pocket, but as I did, I felt something else inside. I switched my picture for whatever it is, and saw that it was the pamphlet Twilight handed me before I came here. Only, all the ware and tear was gone and it looked brand new. Guess when I went back in time, this thing got restored.

"Alamo, come on we need to hurry." I heard Bright say.

I quickly stuffed it in my pocket, hoping that no pony saw the pamphlet yet. "Voice change by choice." I said quietly, changing my voice back. "Comin." I called out, getting up.

My eye still hurt like crazy, but it was just barely manageable. I made sure everything else was fine and headed outside, walking normally. Every pony looked over, seeing me come out.

"Aw come on Alamo, ya can't be serious about gettin up now can ya? Ya just woke up!" Spectrum said, really worried about me.

"I'll be fine." I said, looking around at where we were. I noticed how we were next to Everfree Swamp, and far from Pony Valley. I immediately noticed something. That the view of looking at Pony Valley was very familiar to looking at Ponyville from Sweet Apple Acres. But there wasn't one sign of a farm anywhere. I guess that since it's all desert right now, the orchard doesn't exist yet.

That's when I saw something else. Everfree Swamp had rain clouds floating around it. But none of the clouds were even trying to go towards Pony Valley. "We should get goin." I started, wanting to ask Bright and Jewel a few things without any pony else hearing. "Don't wanna waste a tent when I can get back to where I'm stayin." I told the doc.

"Alright, well just remember to keep that patch on for one or two days. Once it feels normal and you can open your eyelid at will, it should be good as new." The doctor instructed. I nodded and started to head back to the Shining Gemstone, Bright right behind me.

"Wait." Spectrum said, stopping us. "Where exactly are ya stayin?" She asked, curious.

"Well uh-" Luckily for me, Bright answered for me.

"He's staying at the Valley Inn. Where else would a new citizen of Pony Valley stay?" She lied, and the last part she said rhetorically.

"Yep. That's where I'm stayin. You'll have ta ask the stallion that works there just where I'm stayin though. Can't seem ta remember my room number." I told her, going along with the lie. And lucky for me, it was a stallion that owned the Inn, so Spectrum bought it.

"Alrighty, got it. See ya tamarra Lonestar Alamo." She said, waving good-bye to me. I waved back kind of awkwardly and started going off towards town again. They stayed there, the doctor kind enough to let them stay there for the night.

---

After getting back to the Shining Gemstone, we went inside to see Golden Jewel with a big smile on her face as she was working on making jewelry.

"Now what are you so happy about Golden Jewel?" Sparkle Bright asked, wondering how any pony could be happy with all the problems going on right now.

"Well because of Alamo's heroic efforts here, I mentioned that I was a good friend of his and that his fake tail was made by moi! And because of that, every pony has started begging for me to make jewelry for them! Now we're a huge success!" Golden Jewel screamed with delight.

"So in other words," I began, talking normally because I changed my voice on the way. "you're extorting fortune off of my fame?" I asked, feeling neutral about the whole thing.

"Yes! Isn't it great?!" She asked, completely over-looking the fact that she was lying to all of Pony Valley.

"Golden Jewel that's horrible!" Bright scolded. "Do you know just how wrong it was of you to do that?!" She asked, shocked that Golden Jewel did all of this.

"Not at all! Since the Princess gave us the mission to bring equality, it was our idea to bring Alamo here! So in a way, we deserve the credit too!" She said, using her own logic to explain this.

"Oh sure, now it's 'our' idea..." Bright sighed and turned towards me. "You know that this is wrong right?" She asked me.

"Actually, she has a point. Since it was YOUR idea to bring me here, it makes sense that you two get to be rewarded for this. That, and I don't care that much either way that she's making a fortune off of my fame. I never did like hogging the spotlight anyway." I told her.

"Spotlight?" She asked, confused by the word.

"I mean, I don't like hogging all the fame." I said, correcting myself.

"Well whichever way, we need to plan some things out. Whipper isn't going to jut stay down for good. He's going to come back at least one more time, and you're the only one that'll stand up to him. Also since you have to go back to where you came from, we need to convince Spectrum Light not to like you." Bright summarized our biggest problems.

"Yeah. Besides, if she get's too close than she might find out who I really am. Hiding this voice and the real me from all of Pony Valley, save for you two, isn't gonna be easy. Especially since I'm the hero and the town and all. I'm barely going to have any time to get some breath in." I yawned after saying all that.

"But... I guess we can talk about all this tomorrow. I might've been out for seven hours, but I still need to sleep some time tonight." I said, still drowsy. I was unconsious, but still tired. I guess being in pain while asleep for so long still left me drained.

"Alright. Tomorrow first thing in the morning we'll all go around and see if any pony knows anything about Whipper. Then we'll try to see if we can start a revolt against him so you don't have to stay much longer. That way, Pony Valley will be just fine after you're gone." She said, explaining the plan.

"Got it." I yawned again, way more tired than I thought. "So where do I sleep anyway?" I asked.

"I'm afraid the best we have is a rocking chair in the living room." Jewel said, now focusing on her work.

"Alright thanks. Don't worry about waking me, I'm a heavy sleeper. In fact, don't be afraid to literally smack me awake or something when you need me to wake up." I told them, going off to find the living room. "Goodnight." I called out to them.

"Goodnight." They both said simultaneously. As soon as I found the rocking chair, which looked a lot like the one Granny Smith uses, I sat in it and fell right asleep.

---

And while that whole conversation was going, the three of us never noticed a figure listening from right outside the window. A strange quiet pony with a copper mask, that was an amateur at using a whip but somehow hit a certain some pony in the eye.

And as soon as I fell asleep, he started running out of Pony Valley and a decent amount away from the town. After a long run, he came across a campfire where two other earth ponies were at. Dead Eye was whittiling something with his prized knife to pass the time. Where as Whipper kept touching the horseshoe brand mark that was forever stained into his front right shoulder, compliments of me. Each time he drew his hoof back as he hissed in pain from touching it, the scar still a little sensitive.

"So Quickshot, find any proof that we can use ta prove Alamo's just a messed up pegasissy?" The Whipper asked, looking at Quickshot who had just gotten back from spying on us.

"Nuff ta satisfy tha town crier." Quickshot said simply, a smirk hiding behind his mask.

Whipper started cackling a little. And the more he thought of how great the revenge was going to be to make the town hate me and fear him again, the more he cackled madly. Soon enough, it got loud and crazy enough to the point where the timberwolves stopped howling and ran back into Everfree Swamp, scared of Whipper's cry of mad cackling.

But once he fell to the ground from his mad cackling, he accidentally hit the brand mark. That made him cry out in pain as he flipped to his back to stay off the wound. He really wish that he would be able to go to that doctor outside of Pony Valley, but since he and his gang wasn't welcome anywhere around Pony Valley without getting dirty looks and/or being laughed at, he didn't have the luxury of getting taken care of by the doctor.

"Oh just you wait boys, soon enough we'll all be livin like Canterlot folk in this here town, while Alamo is treated like dirt! He'll pay, oh he will pay! I promise y'all that! Now listen up! Cause I gotta plan..." As Whipper started telling them the plan, soon enough they started to smirk and chuckle kind of darkly, agreeing to the plan themselves. With what they knew about me now, and their fool-proof plan, they were sure that I was doomed now.

---

The next morning, I had woken up by myself. I looked out the window and guessed that it was around eight in the morning. As I got up and went to the workshop, I saw that Bright and Jewel weren't there. I just guessed that they were asleep or out in Pony Valley.

So thinking that, I decided I might as well go out and start asking around about Whipper. So I changed my voice to make it a western accent again and headed out. But as I opened the door, I saw Spectrum on the other side.

"There ya are!" She shouted out, happy to see me. "Ya know, it ain't right ta just lie about where yer stayin." She told me, though she sounded like she forgave me already.

"Right, I'm mighty sorry 'bout that. Ya see, Bright wanted me ta get a good nights sleep without any pony findin me, so she told ya I was stayin at the Inn and I played along." I apologized. I tried to blow off the acusasion like it was nothing, but the western accent made me sound way more sincere when I wasn't trying to be.

"Aw shucks, I understand. But anyway, I came down ta as if ya wanted ta go to the celebration." She asked me with a smile.

"Celebration? Celebration fer what?" I asked, confused.

"Why a celebration for Whipper bein gone! What else?! The whole town is so happy that some pony stood up to him, and were plannin on celebratin about it!" She told me. Oh I really wasn't liking where this was going. "And I was wonderin if I could come with ya." She told me, looking at me as if she was sure I'd say yes.

"Well... I ain't sure I can come. Ya see Whipper is still out there, and he ain't gonna-" But before I could even try to explain my excuse, she stopped me.

"Come now, do ya really think Whipper's comin back? If yer scared of bein the important pony at a town celebration, ya could'a just said so." She said, starting to walk away. I knew in the back of my mind that she was trying to trick me into going, but the fact that I was just called 'scared' made me ignore that little detail.

"Hey hold on, I ain't scared a anythin!" I said, getting a little angry.

To bad that was just what Spectrum was trying to do. "Really? So you ain't scared to go with me to the celebration?" She asked with a smirk on her face.

"Not at all. I'll gladly go with ya," I said, talking about going to prove I wasn't scared. But I was falling for her trick completely.

"Great! See ya then Alamo!" She winked at me then snickered a little as she left.

After going back inside and closing the door, I realized what the heck just happened. "Aw great..." I said, sitting in front of the door in defeat.

That's when Bright came into the room, waking up from the conversation. "Who was that?" She asked, missing all of it.

"Spectrum Light..." I said, still feeling like an idiot for falling for her reverse psychology.

"Wait, why was she here?" Bright asked, wondering just what happened.

"Ta ask if I wanted ta go to the town wide celebration with her." I said, not even bothering to change my voice back to normal.

"And... You said no right?" She asked, getting a little scared about what was going on now.

"Ya know, I think the meaning a 'no' changed some time in tha future so I don't know what ya mean by-" And before I could try to excuse myself from answering that question, she levitated me up with her magic.

"Are you going with her to the celebration or are you not?" She asked, being way more clear now.

I wasn't intimidated by her, but I knew that it wasn't the time to be joking around. Especially with the fact that my eye still needed to heal so I wasn't in much of a position to question her.

"She... She tricked me inta sayin yes." I finally admitted, bowing my head in shame.

"Blitz you can't go with her! If you go, then there's a chance that you might start to show feeling with her! Then what'll happen to your friend?!" She asked me, shaking me in the air in a way where she was trying to make me come to my senses or something.

"Do ya think I don't know that?! It ain't like I wanna go or nothin! She tricked me into it!" I told her, really not liking that the only time I'm in the air is when I'm being lifted up with magic or tossed in the air.

"Well then you gotta make her either fall out of love with you, or find out who she's supposed to be with and make her fall in love with him." She told me as she lowered me down, calming down now that she knew my head was on straight.

"Well since I don't know who she's supposed ta fall fer, that leaves her hatin me." I said, trying to think of just how to do that.

"Maybe not hate you, but just enough to the point where she won't be interested in you." Bright said, making it a little easier.

"Well I guess I can figure that out when were at the celebration." I said, deciding not to do it now.

"What's this celebration even about anyway? I never heard about it until now." Bright said, going over to the couch to sit.

"Voice change by choice." I said, bringing my voice back. "Apparently, it has to do with me scaring Whipper outta town." I told her, sitting down where I was.

"What?! Who's dumb idea was it to have a celebration about that?! It hasn't even been one day and yet the whole town thinks that Whipper's just going to give up like that?! No pony like him gives up after just one fight!" She argued, questioning just how stupid they were all acting.

"I don't know, but apparently some pony gave every pony else the idea. Wonder what happened." I said to myself, wondering how exactly this all happened.

Earlier That Morning, Whipper's POV

Alright now, everything's set! All that's left now is...

"Hey Whipper, I got em." Dead Eye said to me, tossing the hog-tied mayor in front of me. He had a gag over his mouth and was terrified.

"Perfect..." I said, keeping quiet. I bent down and moved the mayor so he was in a position where he could see me just fine. "Now listen here mayor, yer gonna help us with somethin." I told him.

He then went from a look of fear, to a look of anger. He tried to yell at me, but the cloth in his mouth made it hard for him to say anything. Especially since that cloth was covered in dirty disgusting water from the nearby swamp. As soon as his yelling made him taste the swamp water, he stopped yelling and had a mixture of anger and disgust on his face as he kept glaring at me. I knew that he would be yelling and trying to hurt me if he wasn't gagged and tied up, so I had to strike fear into him once again.

"Aw looky here boys. The mayor's mad at me. How's about we give em a taste of just what were gonna do?" I asked them, giving them the signal. The mayor gave me a confused look before he found out just what I was telling them.

Quickshot held him in place as Dead Eye yanked hard on his tail, pulling it straight up into the air. The mayor yelled as loud as he could with the gag on him, but no pony could hear him. And since he was yelling with the gag on, the taste of disgusting, stagnant, swamp water go down his throat. That, some mud, and maybe a few worms and other bugs we stuck inside the rag.

Speaking of one of those bugs, I think one of them went down his throat because now he was coughing into the rag. As soon as he coughed, I signaled Dead Eye to stop. For now. It was fun to watch, but we were in a hurry so I had to cut it short.

"Now are ya gonna listen, or will we not only have ta cut yer tail off, but force feed ya that there rag ya love tastin?" I asked him, an enjoyed smirk on my face. I was honestly good either way

But he just nodded yes, now fully afraid of us like he should've been the whole time. "Good. Now listen up. See that their banner? Well it's celebratin how Alamo ran me outta town. We need you to act as if y'all planned it. That's all. Think you can do it?" I asked him.

He shook his head with a glare again, knowin that I had something planned for Alamo. I nodded to Dead Eye again and the same thing happened. Bugs, swamp water, and mud went down his throat. And Dead Eye even managed to pull a few hairs of his tail out completely. After a second time aroun, I some him puke a little into the rag. I gave Dead Eye the signal and he stopped.

I turned to him again. "How's about now? Cause if not, I'm sure you'd love ta be the first mayor ta end up bein Timberwolf chow." I told him, not afraid to do that at all.

He was now shivering in fear. But he nodded really fast, not wanting to open his mouth anymore than it was to let in everything that rag had gone through now.

"Good... And mayor, let's keep this between the four of us. We'll be watchin you, and if we see you tell any a yer friends..." I cackled a little, actually hopping to see the look on his face when I tell him, "Then I guess we'll have ta introduce ya ta our friends. Them bein our wooden, swamp lovin hounds. We got an agreement?" I asked him.

He looked about ready to die from being scared, but nodded anyway. I nodded to my two buddies, and Quickshot stopped holding onto him. But Dead Eye did just as I suggested. He dragged the mayor back into his house harshly by the tail, making him yell out in pain the whole trip inside.

I cackled at how well the plan was working. And by this night during the celebration, every pony will one again fear The Whipper and his gang just like they should.

---

Wow, The Whipper is really heartless! I mean Jeez, that mayor must be having a hard time! But for now, were gonna leave off until next time every pony! And by the way, yeah this was a smaller chapter compared to the others, but I promise that the next chapter will help to make up for it. Next chapter should be ready in about two-three days! I want to say I Pinkie Promise that, but even while were all in the past, Pinkie Pie can come out of anywhere and I don't know how long exactly it'll take for me to put up a chapter.

So with that all said, until next time every pony!

QotC: If your local town was throwing a party/celebration for you for something you did, would you go or not?
