A Brony Life
Chapter 48: Seeing Isn't Believing (S1 Finale)
Previous Chapter Next ChapterHello every pony, and welcome to the final part of the Season Finale! Now as I said before in the last intro, after this ending to the finale, I plan on taking a break for July. It being my birthday, my Dad trying to sue me, and the fact that I haven't had much time to play much of any video games... Yeah, I kinda need to take it as easy as I can this July. But with that said, let's start-up something a little more fun!
Now as I asked before, that being what you would want to throw at Whipper, I decided that instead of the top three comments we just go ahead and do just that!
*camera pans over to Whipper, who's tied to a Torturer's rack which is leaned up against a wall*
Whipper: What in tarnation am I here for?! *anger and fear clearly in his voice*
Well, since the last QotC was what would they like to throw at you, without killing you immediately, I've decided to give them exactly what they want!
Whipper: Ya-y'all can't do that! It ain't right!
Maybe, but you're an evil whip happy pony that tried to kill not only Alamo, not only Spectrum and the other ancestors, but Princess Celestia herself. I think this is long overdue. *I said with a look of entertainment*
Now for the first one, it comes from me. And to make sure it takes full effect... *uses author powers to turn Whipper human* were gonna need you to be human.
Whipper: What the hay?! What am I?!
A human. I just said that didn't I? So anyway, this one's from me.
*pulls a lever that appeared right next to me, making a boot come flying in and hitting Whipper where the sun don't shine*
Whipper: YEEEEEE-OOOUUCHHHHHHH! *he whimpers a little bit before trying to shake it off, but you could tell by his shaky voice that it still was extremly painful* Is... Is that the best you got?!
*I start laughing from the question before smiling* Not even close! Those reviewers are probably ten times more ruthless than I am! *snaps fingers and Whipper goes back into pony form, though is still in great pain* Now for the next assault on Whipper!
*holds up index card* First is FireKitsune1! And they want to hurt you with... a tuba!
Whipper: A tuba?!... Wait a sec, that ain't that- *before he could finish that, a tuba is catapulted out of no where and rams into his chest, knocking the wind out of him and bruising him in the chest area* Owwwww...
And were not even close to the painful stuff yet! Isn't this fun! *I said with a sadistic smile*
Whipper: NO!
Any, next contestant on Whipper Whack World is... *gets a new index card* Wow, this one's gonna be tough to keep on a 'T' rating. Pinkimena!
Whipper: Wait, what's a Pinkimena? *all of a sudden, a crane picked up him along with the torturer's rack and lifted him above a cage, that had Pinkie Pie in it*
Pinkie: Hey Zeke? What am I doing in this cage again?
Ahehe... Ya see Pinkie, we needed you to do something for us that we knew you weren't going to agree to... So we had to put you in a sealed off cage. *a wierd pipe then sticks out inside the cage* This is a little something I like to call personality gas. It can change anyone, or any pony's, personality the second they breath it in! And luckily for us, they won't remember the episode that they have whilst under the personality gas.
Pinkie: That sounds so much fun! So, what's it gonna turn me into?!
Uh... Pinkimena. Sorry Pinkie, but a fan asked for Whipper to be attacked by her so... *ducks into a nearby trench for protection, putting on an army helmet* ...Yeah. Start the gas!
*As the gas goes in, I turn towards all of you* Now originally to truly give you all the most convincing Pinkimena I could make, I... *gulp* forced myself to read a shortened, but not less disturbing, version of Cupcakes...ten times... and had a little trash bin set up right next to me the entire time... And to make sure that I had the Pinkimena thing down to a T completely, I watched the song version on YouTube...five times... And three trips to the psychologist later because I now have grown a fear to that story and anything about it, I am NOT going to explain what will happen to Whipper.
Whipper: Wait, what is happenin' ta me anyway?! *He asked, now terrified*
*To answer his question, eery creepy giggling came from inside the cage, which now had walls around it so you couldn't see the inside. Then, Whipper started to be lowered in*
Now it'll only be ten seconds, but it's scary none the less. *shudders, then turns towards the cage*
Pinkimena: Oh hi there! Would you like a cupcake? *She asked in a creepy tone before laughing like an insane maniac*
*A few seconds later we hear a blood curdling scream from Whipper*
Pull him out, pull him out! *the crane then pulls out the torturer's rack, only for Whipper to not be on it anymore* Oh no! Plan B, plan B! *sounds of heavy water comes from inside the cage for a few seconds. When it stops the walls go down, revealing Whipper to be cut up, but alive*
*Sadly, Pinkimena was still Pinkimena. And somehow had a knife in her hooves* AH! It didn't work! It's still Pinkimena!
Pinkie: Pinkimena? That's my full name silly! Every pony calls me Pinkie!
*I sigh in relief* Oh, false alarm. Pinkie's mane and tail are just wet. Thanks Pinkie, you can go now.
Pinkie: Okey-Dokey-Lokey! Bye Zeke, good luck with the intro! *The cage then disappears and she walks off, throwing the knife away carelessly, almost hitting Whipper in the head. Though, Whipper stays there*
Whipper: Please tell me it's over!
*clears throat and gets out of trench* I wish. But the intro's gonna have to be longer to appease every pony that reviewed before I made this. And we have seven more items to throw at you. Including... an arrow to the knee, from Ultimoto The Great!
*pulls out a normal wooden bow, and a wierd suction-cup arrow* Now to keep from making this too messy, I have a special made arrow here! It may look like a boring suction-cup arrow, but it's not. It gives off a wierd shock thing that hurts the victim just as much as a normal arrow would. So if this thing was to strike you in the head, it would be a cleaner game-over for you!
*fires arrow into Whipper's knee*
Whipper: Wait a sec here, it don't hurt none at a-AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH! Make it stop! Make it stop! *pulls out arrow and the pain stops* Oh thank Celestia...
Oh, so now you're thanking her. To bad she's not that forgiving. Especially when I was promoted to her personal dungeon torturer. So yeah, you're not gonna be thanking her long!
Next is Mage of Psychics! And she sends her best regards with... A baby dino!
Whipper: Wait, a what?!
Whipper: *A baby T-Rex makes his way over towards me, looking all cute and innocent* Aw come on! I can handle that little thang!
*The baby T-Rex then gets onto a nearby small catapult. I pet him before pointing towards Whipper. He then growls menacingly at him before being launched towards him at great speeds*
Whipper: Now hold on a mome-YE OUCH! *The dinosaur lands on him and starts biting him, not doing too much damage, but still enough to hurt badly*
*After about ten seconds, the dino jumps off of him and runs over to me, wagging his tail. I talk to him like a dog* Good Dino! Good boy! Who wants a steak?! Huh?! Who wants a steak?! *I then pull out a steak and toss it towards him. He starts eating it and smiles towards me* Good boy, I love you Dino!
*I clear my throat before speaking up* I think I'm gonna keep Dino... Anyway, next punishment, an Angry Bird! From VintageThunder98! Not only that, but also Musical Paint asked for it too!
*Slingshot appears beside me and Dino. I then whistle a small tune and a tiny blue bird flies over towards me* Oh, I love this bird. He's my favorite out of them all. *loads him into slingshot and aims at Whipper* Good thing I'm a pro at this game. Though somehow my mom's better at it. Anyway, FIRE!
*sends the small blue bird towards Whipper, steps back a little to try to dodge them. To bad they split into three different birds, all hitting him with dead on accuracy*
Whipper: Ow... Are we done yet?... I'm about ready ta keel over...
Not yet Whipper. We still have four more! So doing Swift Thunder's next... *walks over to him and draws back fist* I'm not sorry about this... *slugs him in the face as hard as I can, making him fall on his back. Then I go over and takes his whip* This... No, I'm not sorry about this either.
*Whips him in the eye, drops the whip, and walks back over to original spot* Now we only got two more to go! Then the chapter!
Whipper: Can I at least get my eye fixed first?!
Afterwards. Besides, that last punishment will help with that...I think... Anyway, next punishment is... A pressure-point ninja attack! From whovian803!
*A puff of smoke comes out of no where, and a pony ninja appears from it. The ninja then jumps in front of him and starts jabbing him all over the place in pressure-points. One million jabs later, Whipper falls to the ground and the ninja comes over to me. Holding out a hoof*
What?... Oh right, your pay. *takes out a small bag of bits and tosses it to him. He checks it, then holds out his hoof again* What?!... *sighs* Fine, here. *tosses another bag of bits to him. He then disappears in a puff of smoke* I swear, the price of ninjas are skyrocketing now a days.
Next thing is... A couple of things actually. *Walks over to Whipper*
Whipper: Now what?... *he's answered with a hot -irey coal to the mouth, a bucket of water splashed on him, and finally a shocking event with a taser* Ow... What was that?!
That was all from Musical Paint! The angry bird from earlier was also from her too. Anyway, one last thing and we're done.
Whipper: Finally... *as I start to run away, he gets confused* So what is it?!
It's from PandaMaster! They should try to fix you up when they land! I suggest ducking in cover! *I said, running away at great speeds, taking Dino with me in my arms*
Whipper: Land? *looks up, only to see a giant group of buildings known as Googleplex falling towards him* Well... Guess they ain't in America no more...
BOOM!
*After it fads to black, me and Dino appear in front of the faded screen* Good thing Pinkie taught us how to jump into frame like this huh Dino? Anyway, we hope you all enjoyed this incredibly long intro, readers who actually read this! Sadly by next chapter, me and Dino will have cleaned up most of this, so here's what the intro will look like when you all come back!
Intro Area Decorations to Date: A broken ceiling, wires all around the floor, thousands of tiny pieces of paper, some stray pieces of tape and glue lying around, a giant golden statue of Stepony (Pony Stephano), scorch markings on the floor that spell out 'Blitz Waz Herez', and a baby T-Rex named Dino.
Disclaimer: I do not own MLP or any of the ideas to hurt Whipper mentioned above. All I own is this idea, Blitz, Dino, and Whipper.
"Is it really Blitz?"
"I think so! But, he looks a little injured..."
"A litte?! His left hoof is MISSING!"
"Yeah, but it's metal remember? Plus, look at this rope that's inside of his front leg. It looks like he worked on his bionics a little while he was gone."
"Not only that, but he got a new tail while he was there! Oh, it looks absolutely dashing with it being silver!"
As I started wakin up from going through that portal, I heard multiple voices from all around me. All of them sounding concerned, but relieved as well.
"Wha... What's goin on?" I asked, still having my western accent, as I started to wake up completely. I opened my eyes and saw some familiar faces all around me. Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Twilight, Applejack, and the others. Along with the two unicorns I saved before this all started, who kept looking at me, and some rock the taller one was holding. They looked as confused as I did, but I ignored it and turned back towards my friends.
"Well I'll be! It really is you Blitz! Yer back!" Applejack said to me.
"Huh?" Was all I could ask as I stood up. It was hard without my front left hoof, but I managed.
"We brought you back from to the present!" Twilight cleared up. "You're in Sweet Apple Acres!" She told me.
I looked around, and indeed it was Sweet Apple Acres. And it was green and alive, unlike the healing grounds/campsite I was at before. I looked towards town, only to see that it was alive too. Not in the middle of the desert either.
"I'm back..." I started to put together. They opened that portal.
"Yep! All thanks to the time portal Twilight opened up over there! We were able to bring you back before anything bad happened permenantaly!" Spike said with glee.
When I saw the portal, I saw that it was still opened. And after what Spike said, it hit me. They brought me back before I could manage to stop Whipper for good! "No..." I said, going a little wide-eyed about what happened.
"What was that Blitz?" Rarity asked, not catching what I had said. Neither did the others.
"No... No I can't come back... Not yet..." I said, starting to walk towards the portal. I had to go back to the past to stop Whipper.
"Blitz, what are you doing?" Twilight asked, walking right next to me.
"I'm goin back. I gotta stop Whipper 'fore he overthrows Princess Celestia." I told her, picking up the speed as I walked towards the portal. It was kind of hard to walk with a rope sticking out of my front left arm, so I picked it up and slung it over my shoulder before walking again.
"Blitz, you can't go back!" Twilight yelled at me, the others now following me as well. "That portal's only going to stay open for another forty-five seconds!" She informed me.
"What?!" I asked, looking at how far I was. I had to be two-hundred plus yards away from that portal from being shot out of it. That means I had to get to that portal in less than a minute. So I started running towards it, running at a decent pace for a pony missing a hoof.
"What's he doing?!" Rainbow Dash asked, caught off-guard by the fact that I was trying to go back to the past after they went through so much to bring me back.
"When he went to the past, he must've had some kind of shock from it that made him think that he's actually from that point in time!" Twilight exclaimed, thinking that's why I was trying to get back. Didn't they hear what I just said not five seconds ago?
"Stop em!" Applejack said, running after me. The others soon followed, and were starting to gain. I couldn't let them stop me, and I didn't have time to explain.
"No grip!" I yelled out, getting in the state of mind I had learned while being back in time.
"No gri-wha?" Pinkie Pie asked, confused.
But right after she asked, I started running incredibly fast, having no grip in my running like last time. Meaning that even without my front left hoof, I was running just as fast as I would be flying. That left them all in the dust.
All except Rainbow Dash. She was just as fast, if not slightly faster, than me at flying so she was able to keep up.
"How are you running like that?!" She asked, shocked that some pony was running just about as fast as she was flying.
"State a mind!" I yelled out, focusing on what was in front of me. I only had twenty seconds left, and I was halfway there. Hopefully I could make it without anymore distractions.
But in the time I got just ten yards close to the portal, Rainbow landed in between me and the portal. Since I had no grip in running, I didn't have time to stop and simply ran into her, making both of us tumble right in front of the portal.
I tried to get up and simply jump back in, now only having five-seconds to do so, but Rainbow Dash held me back, keeping me from doing that. And as the portal started to close, I finally managed to get her off of me and jumped for the portal.
Only for it to close right as I was in front of it. After it disappearing, I flew forward, my Element of Courage appearing out of nowhere and connecting to my left shoulder , and in the end I jumped into a tree.
"No..." I said after I landed on my back, now looking up towards the sky. "I can't believe I let em down..." I said out-loud.
After a few more seconds, the others caught up, out-of-breath from trying to keep up with me. "Blitz... You're not from the past... Don't you remember us?" Twilight asked me, thinking I had amnesia or something.
"A course I remember y'all!" I said, furious that they just doomed us all. "I was tryin ta go back cause Whipper's still runnin 'round tryin ta overthrow Celestia!" I yelled out at them, my accent sounding even more western than Applejack's.
Pinkie Pie simply snickered at it. "Blitz, that's a great Applejack impression! Do my voice next!" She said, thinking I was joking.
"I ain't tryin ta make fun a AJ's accent, it's a spell!" I told Pinkie, not exactly happy that they weren't getting it.
"A spell? Blitz, I've never heard of any spell that changes a ponies accent." Twilight said, clearing that up.
I simply sighed and reversed the spell. "Voice change by choice." I said, my voice going back to normal. "See? It's normal now." I said, demonstrating by now talking normally.
"Wow! Is that some kind of cool cypony power?!" Pinkie asked, getting really excited. "Change your voice into mine next!" She kept asking, thinking I could.
"Ugh, forget it." I said, knowing that there was no way I could convince her to change me back. "Now because I couldn't stop The Whipper, the whole future's gonna get messed up." I said, sad that I let all of Pony Valley and Princess Celestia down. The changes of the past were going to catch up soon enough, and they were all gonna not exist or something.
After a few more seconds of me mopping, I noticed that... Nothing was changing. It was all still normal. They were all just looking at me confused, wondering what I was talking about.
"Uh Blitz... What do you mean you couldn't stop The Whipper?" Rainbow Dash asked, all of them looking at me, confused.
"I mean, I couldn't stop him when he was trying to start a rebellion. But... Nothing's changing..." I said, still looking around. Everywhere around us was green and full of life, all of my friends were still here, and out in the distance I saw Canterlot castle was perfectly fine. It was like nothing had changed.
"Wait, you mean the Pony Valley Rebellion? The very one that happened two-hundred years ago? As in, where the famous Sheriff Lonestar Alamo gathered an army to stop a cruel pony that was obsessed with power? That Pony Valley Rebellion?" Twilight asked, making sure she understood what I was saying.
"Yes!" I yelled out, getting excited. "You mean they were able to stop Whipper before he tried to overthrow Princess Celestia?!" I asked, hoping she would say yes.
"Of course it did. That's why there's an Alamo Day. In fact, it's still going on right now. Though, I think we all missed the reenactment." She said, making some of the others sigh a little from that little fact. But, they weren't really that angry that they missed the show since there was a good reason for it.
"They did it... They were able to stop Whipper after I got sent back here..." I took out the photo that was still under my hat, which I was surprised that it had stayed on my head this whole time, and saw that it was the same. All of us, even Rainbow Dash, were in the picture as if nothing went wrong in the first place.
"Wait a sec there Blitz. Are you sayin that that's where ya ended up goin in time?" Applejack asked, all the others looking towards me.
"Yeah. That's where I was sent." I said, putting the photo back in my hat.
"What a second. You're saying that you were sent back to the Pony Valley Rebellion? As in, the same one where the famous Sheriff Lonestar Alamo took on an evil pony that was obsessed with power? That Pony Valley Rebellion?!" She asked, interested in where I ended up.
"Yeah. That's the one." I said with a nod.
"That's amazing! What was it like being there?! Did you meet any of our ancestors?! How was the culture there?! How long were you there?! What can you tell us about it?! Did you happen to meet Sheriff Lonestar Alamo?!" Twilight started asking questions left and right about my trip to two-hundred years ago, really wanting to know all about it now.
But that last question she asked, I couldn't help but chuckle a little at the irony. "Yeah, I guess you could say I met Alamo." I said, trying to keep a straight face.
"Really?! By any chance did he talk about his past?! No pony, or any book has any information about Alamo except for the Rebellion!" She told me, getting really excited about learning something about Equestrian history that no pony else knew.
"Well, I guess you can say that he told me a few things about his past." I said, doing a pretty good job at keeping a straight face.
"Hey Blitz! What's that shiny thing on your vest?" Pinkie asked, hypnotized by the 'shinyness' of my badge.
"A Sheriff Badge." I said with a smile, knowing that they were all about to put two and two together.
"Wait a second!" Rainbow Dash yelled out, now flying in the air with anxiousness. I kept keeping a straight face, though laughing on the inside. "You stole Sheriff Lonestar's Sheriff Badge!" She finished.
"Yea-Wait-What-NO!" I yelled out, going from entertained, to confused, to shocked, to angry with each word. This was going a whole different way than I thought it would. "I AM Sheriff Lonestar Alamo!" I yelled out at them, still furious that they would even think that I would steal a badge.
"Wait... So what yer sayin is that yer Sheriff Lonestar Alamo?" Applejack asked, looking right at me
"Yes!" I answered, trying to get it through to them.
But even when I was telling the truth, they didn't buy it. And after a few seconds of them trying to see if I was joking, they saw that I wasn't kidding. Sadly that didn't stop all of them from falling to the ground in laughter.
"Why are you laughing?! Isn't it obvious?! I mean come on! I look just like him, I'm wearing the same clothes as him, I have the same Sheriff Badge that the mayor Chitter Chatter gave me, and I know all about the Pony Valley Rebellion! How do you explain all of that huh?!" I challenged them, trying to prove it to them.
Twilight was the first one to calm down from laughing enough to speak up and try to explain how I was 'lying'. "Well, we all already explained earlier this morning how you looked like him. Also, since you were no doubt sent to that point in time it makes sense that you learned what happened while you were there." Twilight explained their point of view about this.
"And to explain your attire, many ponies dressed up in a simply vest and western hat just like that. And while you might have cuts in your vests for your wings, that only proves that you were in Alamo's army. Not that you are Lonestar himself." Rarity said, also dismissing my title.
"Come on Blitz, did you really think that you could trick us into thinking you were Lonestar? Were not falling for it no matter what you say. Am I right Fluttershy?" Rainbow Dash asked, turning towards Fluttershy to see if she agreed.
"Um, actually... I believe him." She said quietly.
"Huh?" Rainbow Dash said, kind of caught of guard. She then shook her head and looked at her. "Fluttershy, he's making it up! How the hay could Blitz be Alamo?!"
"Because, well... he knows my ancestor, Chitter Chatter." She said shyly since all of them were looking to her.
I perked up, thinking that there was hope for me yet to prove it to them.
"So what if he knows the mayor's name? I mean he was the mayor of Pony Valley, of course he knows his name." Rainbow Dash said, trying to move on.
"Actually Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy has a point. The mayor of Pony Valley's name was actually a secret to most every pony. The only way any pony could know that the mayor's name was Chitter Chatter was if he did some heavy researching on the subject." Twilight said, clearing that up.
"And to be completely clear..." I spoke up, making them all turn to me. I had to keep the argument going before they shrugged it off. "Fluttershy, you take more after Chitter Chatter than your great-grandmother Flitter Calm." I said, knowing that talking about both her relatives would really help.
And it did. What I didn't expect though was for Fluttershy to all of a sudden get excited and jump towards the front of the group. "Did you say that you met my great-grandmother Flitter Calm too?" She asked with excitement in her voice. Though, it was at a low volume which made her sound like she was whispering with excitement.
"Yeah. Actually, I met most of your relatives." I said to them all.
Some of them had looks off confusion, while others had looks of thought. All except for Pinkie Pie, who somehow appeared out of nowhere under Fluttershy, making Fluttershy have to balance herself on Pinkie's head.
"Did you meet Diane Sarsaparilla?! Or what about my great-grandpa Dusty?! Did you get to have one of her famous sarsaparillas at her Saloon Lagoon?!" She then gasped loudly, just realizing something. "Did you find out her sarsaparilla recipe?! Please tell me you did! We need that recipe!" She asked, shaking me like a rag doll and acting like the recipe was going to be the answer to world peace or something.
I simply smiled and un-hooked my ear and showed it to her. "Since I heard it, I think I might have it recorded." I said to her.
She snatched the ear from my hoof so fast I didn't even notice she had taken it until she activated the Music Playear. Then it started playing Diane's Sarsaparilla song. As soon as it started, Pinkie jumped twenty feet in the air, spinning around in joy. When she got down she just balanced the Music Playear on her head as she bounced around all of us, listening to the song.
"Okay, so you know about some of our ancestors. But that still doesn't prove that you're Lonestar Alamo." Rainbow Dash said, still not convinced.
And I might've been able to convince Pinkie and Fluttershy, but there was still the rest of them. Luckily, I had a just the tail to tell to make them believe me.
"Well what about Golden Jewel making me this tail huh?" I asked, gesturing to my silver painted tail I still had. "I bet that somewhere in the history books, Alamo got a tail specially made just before they all left to confront the rebels." I said, turning towards Twilight. I hoped that who ever wrote about me in the history books mentioned that.
"Yes, there was something about that. They said that Sheriff Lonestar Alamo had a tail be hoof-crafted by the local jeweler, asking for it to be iron to symbolize that the leader of the rebellion, who liked to cut ponies tails off, couldn't defeat his army." Twilight said, reciting something she had read in apparently a biography of me.
"Wow, they looked way to deep into that. I only wanted a metal tail so I could defend myself against Whipper. Not symbolize anything." I cleared up, snickering a little at how some pony misinterpreted it.
"I told you it was kind of silly to make an iron tail just to symbolize something like that!" Spike said, looking to Twilight with a victory smile on his face. I guess they had talked about this before.
"Spike! Blitz isn't Alamo!" Twilight said, not believing it either. "Come on every pony, what are the chances that Blitz is Alamo? As great as that would be, it's just not possible." Twilight kept telling them.
"I don't know Twilight. Now that I'm taking a second glance at it, this tail is very expertly crafted." Rarity said, admiring my tail. Which wasn't any less awkward than when I first met her. She then gasped out of no where, making all of us turn to her. "Why, it even has a message near the top of it, signed by her!" Rarity said.
"Really?" I asked, looking at my tail. Then I saw the small writing. So to help her get a better look at the message, I turned to Spike, who had my original tail. "Can I have my tail back?" I asked him.
"Oh yeah, here!" He said tossing the tail to me. I switched the silver tail with my original and gave the silver one to Rarity, who I just noticed was missing her tail. It being cut off.
As she looked at the message, I couldn't help but ask. "By the way, what happened to your tail?" I asked, not able to stop myself from doing so.
"Well if you must know, some pony couldn't keep it together." She said with slight anger in her voice, glancing over at Rainbow Dash while she explained. She whistled a little as she looked away, not wanting to admit that that's what happened.
"Got it." I said, not wanting a fight to break out or anything. "So what does the message say?"
"It says:" She cleared her throat and we all turned towards her so we could hear her. "Rarity my great-grand daughter, I hope that Alamo takes this with him to the future so this message reaches you. I want you to know I am very proud of what Alamo has said about you. Good luck with your dress making business! -Golden Jewel"
As she finished the message, she couldn't help but get emotional about the message and started to tear up. She used her magic to pull a tissue from her pocket an wiped the tears off. "Thank you Blitz, for giving this message to me." She said, trying to keep from crying.
"You're welcome." I said simply with a nod. I then turned towards the others. "Now do you all believe me?" I asked them, hoping that this was proof enough because I was running out of ideas.
The only ones I had left to prove was Spike, Rainbow Dash, Twilight, those two young unicorns, and Applejack.
"Well, I think that I can believe you. " Spike said with a smile.
"I believe you too!" The orange unicorn said, running over.
"So do I!" The other one said, coming over as well. The smaller one then showed me the small rock they had from before. "Here, we want you to have this rock! We named him after you!" He said, now treating me as a celebrity.
"Uh... Thanks?..." I said, taking the rock from his hoof and looking at it. When I looked behind them and towards Twilight with a look of confusion, she simply shook her head no. I guessed that she was basically telling me to just give up questioning it. "I'll be glad to keep... him?" I said, not really sure what this rock was an 'it' or a 'he' so I guessed.
But it made them happy and they bowed a little. "Thank you for accepting our gift Sheriff Alamo sir!" The smaller one said.
"Please don't bow to me... Or call me that." I said, now kind of wishing that I didn't try to convince all of them that I was Alamo.
"Oh, sorry Alamo!" He said, now just calling me Alamo as they got up.
"You know what, just call me Blitz." I said, not really liking them treating me like a celebrity.
"You got it Blitz sir." The taller one said to me. I sighed quietly, still not happy that they kept saying 'sir', but I really had no choice at this point.
"What about you three? Do you believe me?" I asked them, hoping I could get their trust.
"Well, I don't know. I mean, you do have some good points, but I'm just not sure." Twilight said, not sure what to believe.
"Same here Blitz." Applejack agreed, not sure what to think either.
I looked towards Rainbow Dash, but she didn't say anything. I think she just didn't want to believe it because it would show that I was cooler than her or something.
That's when I remembered one other thing that would help prove that I was indeed Lonestar Alamo. "Let me just show you three one more thing. And if you still don't think I'm Alamo, then I'll give up. Follow me." I then turned to start running off to one part of Sweet Apple Acres, but I immediately tripped because I forgot that I was missing a hoof.
I simply grunted and just used my wings to fly off a little slower than usual so they could keep up.
And when I landed, we were on a hill. A hill that was over-looking the rest of Sweet Apple Acres. The hill I had my tent set up on. But the only difference was... That there was a tree in the middle of the hill.
As soon as they all came over to the hill, Applejack spoke up. "Now what's so important up on this here hill that you had ta show us Blitz?" She asked.
"This is the hill that I stayed on while the army was getting ready to stop Whipper and the rebels." I told them.
"I think yer mistaken Blitz. That hill over there is where Alamo stayed." Applejack said, gesturing towards a different hill.
"Wow... I never thought I'd say this, but I know something history doesn't!" I said, shocked that whoever wrote the history of the Pony Valley Rebellion messed that up.
"Either way, what did you want to show us?" Twilight asked, reminding me why I came up here.
"Oh yeah. Hey Applejack, sorry for what I'm about to do." I said, turning towards the tree.
"What do ya mean, yer sorry?" She asked, confused.
To answer her question, I wedged the end of my tail under the tree and used it as a crowbar. Thus making the tree un-root from the ground and fall over to the side.
Applejack gasped at this and ran over to the tree. "Buckson! Don't worry none, you'll be alright! Luckily Blitz didn't rip up yer roots or nothin." She said, now glaring at me as if I just hurt her child or something.
"Sorry but... Buckson, was on top of something I needed to get from underground." When I looked at the ground where Buckson was, I realized that I wouldn't be able to dig that well with only one hoof. "Dang it." I said to myself.
"Want some help?" Spike asked, offering to dig for me.
"Thanks Spike. Right there." I said, gesturing to the exact spot with my metal leg. "It should be about three or four feet deep." I told him as he started digging in that spot.
And after a few seconds, Spike pulled a rag out from underground. "Is this it?" He showed it to me. And once I saw that the rag was wrapped around something, I smiled. "Yeah, that's what I was trying to get to. Could you open it up?" I asked him.
"Sure." He said, jumping out of the hole in the ground he just made. After he did, Applejack filled it up and started to put Buckson back in place. As she did, she was glaring at me a little. Still pretty angry that I literally ripped one of her trees from the ground without as much as a second thought.
So after Spike unfolded, it revealed to be the pamphlet I took with me. "See? This is the pamphlet that Twilight gave to me. It got all new like that when it traveled through time with me, and I dug it underneath my tent to hide it before any pony saw it. So here it is." I told them, explaining the story to them.
"Blitz, just because you buried the pamphlet underground in the past, that doesn't mean that you're Lonestar." Twilight said to me.
Crap, why didn't I think this through more clearly?! She had a point, all this proved was that I was from the past. Not that I was Alamo. I didn't even read this thing or sign it or whatever, how am I supposed to prove that I'm Lonestar with this?!
"Dang it... Well... I guess I'm out of ways to try to prove to the rest of you that I'm Alamo." While I said that, they all suddenly gawked towards me. Was it really that shocking that I didn't have any way to prove it to them anymore. "What? It's true. I mean, it isn't like I can just go back in time and bring some pony back just to prove it to you all. And I'm pretty sure that no pony is around from then to help prove that I really am Lonestar." I admitted.
After saying that though, they all bowed towards me for some reason. "What are you guys- oh, real funny. Some of you don't believe I'm Alamo, but you all go ahead and bow at me anyway? And why are you even bowing towards me anyway?"
"Because I think that they are all bowing towards me Blitz." I froze at that voice. It was a calm and collected voice, that sounded kind of amused by what I was saying. And it belonged to some pony from Canterlot. It was... It was...
"Princess Celestia?!" I said as I was jumping back a little from I was, her being right behind me. Apparently, she had come down from Canterlot in her chariot that four pegasi had steered, and came up right behind me as I was talking.
As soon as I backed away from her and got next to the others, I bowed to her. Luckily, knowing how to bow this time around.
"Or should I call you... Alamo?" She asked with a smile towards.
"You mean, you believe me?!" I asked as I stood up straight, as did the others.
"Why shouldn't I believe you? I mean, Sparkle Bright explained everything that happened. She had told me that she made a time portal to go two-hundred years into the future, thus bringing you back in time to Pony Valley." She said, telling us all she had learned.
"You mean, Blitz really is Lonestar Alamo?" Twilight asked, surprised that I was TELLING THE TRUTH about this! I mean really, why is it so hard for me to tell every pony that I'm really Lonestar?
"Yes Twilight." Princess Celestia said with a nod.
"Blitz, I'm sorry for not believing you. I honestly don't know why I didn't. You've never given any reason not to believe you about stuff like this." She admitted, feelin bad for not believing me before.
That's when Princess Celestia turned towards me and saw my missing hoof for the first time. She giggled a little before speaking up. "Did you forget something in Pony Valley before coming back here?" She asked jokingly.
But since I couldn't stop myself, I ended up doing a 'Here's Your Sign' joke. "Heh, nope. Left it there as a gift." I said with a slight snicker. I didn't say the motto that goes after it, but I don't really think I should've said it to the Princess either way.
The Princess couldn't help but giggle a little at it too as some of the others just broke out laughing. "Well I don't think they wanted it all that much. So when Sparkle Bright took your place for coming to explain to me what all had happened, she brought your hoof to be place in the Canterlot Museum." She informed me.
"Wow, really? Never thought I would have anything to do with a museum." I mumbled that last part mainly to myself.
"And I have to admit, it looks very advanced for it being 'upgraded' as you said in that point in time." She said, levitating over a small chest. She opened it and inside was my metal hoof. The rope was taken off, but the small hook I put into it was still there.
I took the other half of the rope that was still connected to my leg and reattached my metal hoof to my leg, it clicking into place. "Well, all I did was make it a spring-loaded grappling hook. But, making it wasn't exactly fun..." I said, unable to forget what I did just to make this thing. "That, and it only really works once." I said, kind of disappointed in what I had made.
"Are you kidding?! You can shoot out your hoof like a grappling hook! That sounds awesome!" Rainbow Dash said, amazed by the sound of that.
"So how does it work?!" Pinkie Pie said, appearing right next to me. She then took my metal hoof and tried to make my metal hoof shoot out like a grapple gun.
"Wait, careful with that! You might-" But it was too late as she figured it out. She twisted my wrist clockwise, causing my metal hoof shot out at an insane speed, just barely missing Twilight and Applejack's heads as they ducked out-of-the-way.
It then flew back into Buckson, knocking it back over. Then it ricocheted off of it and bounced off one of the pegasi guards chestplates, making him fly back five feet at least. Finally, it started bouncing off of one thing after another, going all around us like crazy. Until finally it sailed right over Princess Celestia's head, just barely missing her, and landed in front of me and Pinkie.
By that point, most of them had ducked in cover. Except for Snips and Snails, who had just ran off to Ponyville from fear of getting bonked in the head by a flying hoof. As soon as we all recovered, we all looked towards Pinkie Pie with an exasperated look.
"Oh that was so much fun!" Pinkie Pie said as she laughed and picked up my hoof. "Let's do that again!"
"NO!" Most of us yelled out, including the one guard that fell over. I quickly took it from her and clicked it back in place, making sure Pinkie wouldn't get it again.
"Don't worry every pony, I'll make sure I fix this thing so it won't do... that, again." I said, knowing that I had to calibrate the spring so it wouldn't shoot out like an out of control bullet.
"Well I guess that's what you get when you try to make a spring-loaded hoof in the old west. And from a pony who can't read or write no less." Twilight said, remembering that.
"Oh yeah, they said that Alamo wasn't that smart when it came to stuff like that!" Rainbow Dash stated, falling to the ground in laughter.
"Wait, you can't read or write?!" Spike asked, looking at me in confusion.
"I can write just fine! That was just the first time I tried to write something! I'm not exactly used to being a pony yet, remember?!" I asked all of them.
"Even so, ya should be able ta read just fine!" Applejack brought up.
I growled a little in annoyance from that, angry that history had messed that up. "Okay! So I can't read cursive! Sue me!" I yelled out, angry that they thought it was funny.
"Okay, here." Pinkie said, handing me a tiny card.
"Wait, what's..." After glancing over it, I huffed. "Really a card for a lawyer?" I asked her.
"Yeppers! You said to sue you, so there's a lawyer's card! You might need it." She whispered that last part to me.
"I was- it was... You know what, I'm going to bed! I've been in western times for around five days, have been whipped more times than I want to remember, lost my eye, and apparently, it's only been around two or three hours." I said, starting to head home. I've had enough excitement for one day.
"Wait a second, that's right! You fought in the Pony Valley Rebellion!" Rainbow Dash started with an amused tone. I was already able to tell that this wouldn't be good. "So doesn't that make you two-hundred something years old?!" She asked, breaking out in laughter, trying hard to stop. Soon enough, the others joined in.
"Can't hear you, too busy not paying attention." I said, wanting to just end this day already.
"Oh Alamo, sir, do you want some help getting home? If that's okay with you of course." Fluttershy said, coming up next to me to add onto the joke. Really? Even Fluttershy was adding onto this?!
"No Fluttershy, I don't need any help. I'm only seventeen." I told her, hoping this would end. I know that they were just trying to take me down a peg so I wouldn't keep boasting about it, but I already didn't want to talk about this anymore than I already had.
"Now wait a moment Blitz. The Alamo Day celebration is still going on." Princess Celestia spoke up with a smile.
I turned around and faced her. "Well to be honest, I think I'd rather just stay at my house for the rest of the day. Because I've technically had a long day." I told her, being gone for five days when it was really just three hours.
She giggled at the joke and shook her head. "No, I meant don't you want to reveal who you are to Equestria? It is only fair that you are known as being Alamo." She told me, explaining what she meant.
I already had my answer to that, but pretended that I was going into deep thought about it. "Well..." I started, my friends leaning in because they wanted to hear my answer. As they did, Pinkie ended up standing on just her front legs, not able to lean in as much as she was with her back legs on the ground.
"No." I said quickly and anti-climatically, surprising all of my friends with the answer.
"What?!" Rainbow Dash yelled out. She flew over and looked right at me. "You mean to tell us that there's a whole day dedicated to you, and you don't even want to admit that the holiday's about you?!" She asked, shocked to hear that. I guess that she was so shocked by it because she had always wanted something like a holiday dedicated to her or something like that.
"Yeah. In fact... I don't think I'm ever going to celebrate this holiday again." I told her. As soon as her jaw dropped like it was about to hit the floor, I closed her mouth and kept going. "I mean the way I see it is that me celebrating Alamo Day kind a makes me self-absorbed." I finished explaining.
Princess Celestia simply nodded, understanding what I meant. I went ahead and continued though before she spoke up. "Besides, I don't think I'd really be able to live knowing that every pony knows I'm some hero. So as far as I know, and by extension the rest of Equestria, today never happened for me." And after saying that, I turned to leave. Done for the day since I was really homesick.
"I can't believe it, Blitz get's to have his own holiday but doesn't even want it? If I got a holiday of my own, I'd gladly celebrate it!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed, still furious that some pony she knows has the chance to have their own holiday but won't.
"Be a little forgiving my little pony, you know how the elderly can get exhausted easily." Princess Celestia said, cracking a joke about it.
And that was enough for them to all break out laughing. Yeah they were probably not gonna let me hear the end with those jokes, but at least I was back home and didn't have to fight in a war any longer. It was probably my best achievement I was ever going to accomplish, and yet no pony but me and the others are ever going to know it happened. And I was just fine with that.
And so concludes the season one finale! I hope that all of you have enjoyed the whole finale, as this is where I start my vacation too! That being, I'm just gonna dedicate my July to just relaxing. So, I hope that all of you have a great July! Good bye every pony!
QotC: What's your favorite holiday? Whether it's real or you just made it up.
