My Name is Ash
Chapter 13: A Drive to the Empire
Previous Chapter Next ChapterDriving to Canterlot with the enraged Princess of War - I mean Love - was like driving down a pothole covered road with a rabid dog on your lap carrying a loaded nuclear weapon filled with Nitroglycerin.
However with a massive amount of praying to the Lord Almighty, I was able to find a plethora of relaxing songs.
We covered the drive listening to calming songs such as 21 Guns by Green day -much to Sams displeasure - Behind Blue Eyes by The Who, and The Sound of Silence by Disturbed.

We just reached Welcome to the Black Parade by My Chemical Romance right as we arrived at the capital city. Glancing back, I was rewarded with the sight of a much calmer princess, staring wistfully out the window.
'Heh, you called this the Devil's music, old man?' I thought smugly. 'Looks like the Devil's music saved the Princess from a early grave!'
"Thank you Ash Williams," Princess Cadance said, undoing her seat belt, and leaving the car. "The ride was quite relaxing. Wait for me here. I will speak with my aunt. Alone," she added to Shining, who tried to climb out with her.
"Of course, Princess," we both said, with me rolling down my window as the princess left the Delta. "And please don't kill her."
Cadence gave me a warm smile. "Not to worry, Mr. Williams. I'm not going to kill her."
Despite her words and relaxed stature, I couldn't help but notice a slight aura of menace churn around her as she walked into the castle.
"I'm just going to slap the absolute shit out of her," I faintly heard Cadence declare.
Sam and I exchanged a glance. My friend grinned. "How much do you wanna bet we'll hear the slap?"
"That's a suckers' bet," I replied, reaching into my pocket and placing a ten onto the dash. "Ten bucks says we hear it echo."
"You're on!" Sam agreed, putting a ten of her own on the dash.
"Are you two really placing a bet on the actions between my wife and Princess Celestia?" Shining Armor demanded.
"You want in?" I asked with a grin.
At first, Shining tried to look indignant. But our mutual grins caused his expression to crumble into a half grin. He reached into his own wallet, and pulled out a stack of coins.
"Twenty bits says part of the castle breaks off," Shining said. Eagerly, the three of us rolled our windows down and watched the castle with anticipation.
"And now... we play the waiting game," Sam whispered gleefully.
For a moment, we heard nothing but the faint hustle and bustle of the crowd of Canterlot. The castle stood tall and unbroken above us.
As our patience waned, we started to glance at each other.
"So..." Sam started to say.
But just before I sighed in defeat...
"WHAP!" sounded faintly from the castle.
Sam cheered, reaching for the pot only for me to stop her.
"Listen-listen-hang on!" I said. I grinned as the WHAP was followed by the softer whap-whap-whap of an echo, rebounding across the city.
Sam moaned in horror while I cackled. "My win, bitch!" I cried triumphantly.
However, before I could grab the pot, Shining tapped my shoulder. With a grin, he pointed towards the castle.
A huge crack was running up the side of castle. A small chunk fell from the building. My grin faded.
"Well, shit," I muttered, handing the pot over to Shining and putting my forehead on the wheel, copying Sam, who had put her forehead on the dash. Shining grimaced as he held up the two tens.
"You both know your money is useless in this world, right?" Shining asked.
"Which means what?" I asked. "We owe you twenty bits?"
We glanced back, to find him shrugging with a grin. Sam groaned.
"Son of a bitch," she cursed.
At that moment, Cadance appeared before the Delta with the pop of a teleportation spell. Her aura was stronger than before, and a glower was painted across her face.
As she climbed inside, my curiosity got the better of me.
"I take it the Sunbutt still lives?" I asked.
The princess merely glared out the window. Humming, I drove away from the capital.
"Care to tell the rest of the class what happened?" I prompted.
"Well, we're no longer welcome in Equestria," Cadance replied casually, glaring out the window. "As a start."
I hit the brakes. Every eye in the Delta turned to her.
"I'm sorry, come again?"
Princess Cadence entered the castle and made her way to her aunt's throne room. Throwing the doors open, Cadence was greeted to an empty throne.
Narrowing her eyes, Cadence turned to search the entire castle for Celestia, only to run into Gale Storm.
"Princes Cadance," Gale Storm greeted with a bow. "It's a pleasure to see you again."
Cadence, however, glared at the silver sheild on his chest. "Where's Celestia?" she growled.
Gale's grin faded at her anger. "Um... she's... in her study. Doing some paperwork."
Cadence brushed past the pegasus, not trusting her already livid temper around the guard. The sight of Gale Storm of all ponies, with Shining's badge?! Cadence practically slammed the door to Celestia's study open, startling the sun princess out of her seat.
"Celestia, we need to talk," Cadance said, struggling not to snarl.
Even then, Celestia gazed at her with caution, removing her reading glasses. "What troubles you, Cadence?"
Cadence tried to hold back, but the sight of Celestia looking so confused - so utterly unconcerned with what she had done - proved to be too much. Striding forward, Cadence reared her hand back.
"WHAP!" echoed through the castle and down to the town below. Cadence's slap spun Celestia off her feet and into the wall behind her. Cracks spider-webbed up the walls - and as Shining Armor had noted, caused enough damage to the outside as well.
"C-Cadence!" Celestia stammered, holding her already reddening cheek with shock.
"You had my husband arrested!" Cadence boomed, her magic sending a shockwave that threw Celestia back against the wall, and smashed her desk to pieces. "You had my husband FIRED!" she boomed again, knocking the sun princess back against the wall, and sending her bookshelves tumbling to the ground.
"Because he refused to save Twilight - his own sister - over that creature!" Celestia protested, her own magic stilling the damage Cadence was doing to her study. She brushed the dust and debris off her clothing. "That 'Williams' beast is a danger to both us and all of Equestria. He was to stay with the changelings!"
"And what about Gale Storm?" Cadance demanded. "Why is he wearing Shining's badge?"
"Shining Armor relinquished his position as captain when he refused to participate in the raid," Celestia replied, turning away as her magic rapidly repaired her study. "He said that he'd gladly lose his rank and title before leaving Williams to die."
"With good reason," Cadence snapped, though she knew another magical shockwave would be useless against the now prepared Celestia. She sighed. "Auntie, Ash is more important than you realize!"
"He is a monster who kills monsters and ponies without discrimination!" Celestia refuted, returning to her desk. "Once this changeling threat is taken care of, Gale Storm and the rest of the guards will see him sent into the deepest pit of Tartarus."
Cadence stared at Celestia, dumbstruck. "You can't be serious!"
"As serious as day becomes night."
"Celestia, Jacob is important to Twilight!" argued Cadance. "Tia, she loves Jacob." Cadance yanked Celestia away from her desk. "Are you really willing to break her heart like that?"
But Celestia's gaze was unremorseful. "She'll move on," she dismissed, wrenching herself away from Cadence. "She'll find somepony to truly fall in love with."
Cadence gaped at Celestia in disbelief, before her rage overpowered her again. Magic covering her horn and hand, Cadence seized Celestia by the neck, and smashed her into the already cracked wall.
"You horrible bitch," Cadence seethed, before noticing Celestia's horn starting to glow in preparation for her own attack. Hearing the sound of approaching guards, Cadence reluctantly threw Celestia to the ground. "If you ever step foot in the Crystal Empire, I'll treat it as an invasion."
Before Celestia could respond, Cadence vanished away with the pop of a teleportation spell.
"Shit," Sam mumbled, shaking her head. "And I thought my family had problems."
"Wait, did you say 'Gale Storm?'" Shining Armor asked in a panic. "Please tell me you did not say Gale Storm. Gale Storm can't be the Captain of the Royal guard!"
"I wish it wasn't true, but it is," Cadence grumbled.
"Has Celestia lost her mind?!" Shining Armor yelled. "He's the worst person to be the captain."
"Why?" I asked. "Is he like a dirty cop?"
"If by 'cop' you mean 'soldier,' than yes!" Shining answered angrily. "He is by far the dirtiest soldier I have even met! I was planning to dismiss him the second the new recruits came in, but I never got the chance!"
"Um... Ash!" Sam repeatedly tapped my arm and pointed behind us.
My own eyes widened in horror. Numerous guards wielding swords and spears were coming at us.
"Take out the wheels!" one of them commanded.
"OH HELL NO!" I roared, slamming my foot on the gas.
Keeping my eyes in front, I tried to not to hit any ponies of as I raced out of Canterlot. Roaring out of the city, I pressed harder on the gas, and we zoomed out of Canterlot, heading straight for the Crystal Empire.
“Princess, with all due respect” I say, swerving to avoid the spears from the pegasus guards. “Not your best course of action.”
After evading the Pegasus guards, Ash and the others made it to the snowy plains of the Crystal Empire. Ash put pressure on the brakes and slowed to a full stop.
“Why are we stopping?” Shining asked as Ash left the Delta. “The Empire isn’t far from here.”
“Well, for starters” Ash said, opening the trunk and finding a jack and a set of snow chains. “My tires aren’t made for traveling across snow.” Ash set the jack underneath the car. “Which is why I need to attach some snow chains to the wheel.”
“Need some help, Jacob?” Samantha asked, hopping out of the car.
“Can you get the rear wheel?” Jacob asked, lifting the car with the jack
Samantha moved around the car before screaming out a curse as she held her foot.
“Problem?” Ash asked looking over.
“I just stubbed my toes on a rock,” Sam said, putting her foot down. “Fucker took my shoes when he sent me here.”
“If you're barefoot, why isn’t the snow bothering you?” Ash asked, finishing attaching the chain to the tire.
“Because of this body," Sam said. "I can't feel hot or cold, but I sure can feel pain."
Sam looked down and saw a hint of orange within the mounds of snowy white. Reaching into the snow the half deadite pulled out an orange orb with five red stars.
“Jacob,” Samantha said. “Isn’t this a Dragon Ball?”
Ash got to his feet. Taking the orb from her, he immediately heard a voice.
"I'm the Saiyan warrior of Equestria. If you need help or someone to talk to, then call out I will come, but if you are evil or a threat then you will see why I'm the legendary super saiyan."
“Saiyan?” Ash muttered with a raised eyebrow. “Well, I could really use some help at this point”. He held the Dragon Ball in front of him. “I call upon the Saiyan Warrior of Equestria!”
“Um... Ash?" Sam asked. "What are you doing?”
Before he could reply, a green and yellow portal opened up in front of Ash and his friends. A person stepped out, wearing the dragon armor from high school gods and the black bulls cloak, with the Dante sword on his back and Ebony and Ivory on his side's.
"Who called me in the middle of a Hokage meeting?" the newcomer demanded with some anger in his voice.
Shining drew his sword. "Who are you?" He paused, glancing at Ash. "And... why do you seem alike?"
"My name is Jackson Williams," the newcomer declared, an aura of power shining around him. "The monkey king of the hidden Leaf Village." He narrowed his eyes. "And who are you?"
Ash shook his head with a laugh. “Nice to meet you Mr. Fancy Pants, name's Jacob Ash Williams.” He extended a hand to the Saiyan.
Jackson smirked. "I see what you did there," he noted, shaking his hand. "Nice to meet you, Ash."
“If I may?” Princess Cadance said, exiting the Delta to approach the two. “Why is this creature so similar to you Jacob?”
Ash glanced back at the Saiyan. "Let me guess; Resident Evil 4 Merchant?”
Jackson stared at Cadence for a moment before glancing at Ash. "No, Master Roshi from Dragon Ball Z." He grinned at Cadence before bowing. "You look as beautiful as ever, my princess of love."
Cadance raised an eyebrow. “Um... Forgive me, but have we met before?”
"In my Equestria, yeah," Jackson said, grinning evilly. "Also, I wanted to make Shining Armor angry; he's hysterical when people flirt with his wife."
Indeed, Shining Armor's knuckles had gone white on his sword, and he looked like he was trying to hold back an angry tirade.
“Wait... Your Equestria?” Ash asked.
"You think there was only one?" Jackson asked. "There are millions upon millions of Equestria's throughout the dimension." With a wave of his hand, he conjured chairs out of thin air. "Have a seat, and I'll tell you all about it."
Exchanging intrigued glances, Ash and his friends complied; Shining kept Cadence inside the Delta, while Sam and Ash leaned against the hood.
“Please enlighten us because I’m confused Six ways from Sunday” Sam said.
"What she means is," Ash said, nudging her. "We’d like to know what you know,” Ash says to the Saiyan.
"Well," Jackson began. "For starters, you, Ash, and your friend there are Displaced. Dimensionally Misplaced. There are tons of us across the omniverse, and most of us end up in some version of Equestria with the power of who we're dressed as. Sometimes more. Most of us lose our identities. You never know who'll you'll run into either. Once our business is done the summoner will say our business is done, the portal opens up and the summon goes home," Jackson said.
“Okay...” Ash lifted the Dragon Ball. “And the Dragon Ball?”
"It's my token. Calls me when you need help or to talk to someone that can relate to you. The only thing you need is something that represents you. Then you say a creed and throw it into the air, and a patrol will open up sending it through the void."
Suddenly, Jackson paused, standing up in alarm.
"Do you guys know that Princess Celestia is coming this way?" Jackson asked.
“Shit,” Ash hastily put the chains on the other tire. “Sam, start jacking the other side!” Quickly lowering the car, he tossed the jack to Ash before turning to Jackson. “Do you know how to put Snow chains on a tire?”
"No, but I do have something better," Jackson said, getting behind the Delta. "Everyone get in!"
“Sam, put the jack in the trunk” Ash ordered.
His friend shoved the jack into the trunk before throwing herself into the passenger side.
"Alright hold on," Jackson said, putting two fingers on his head, and his other hand on the Delta. "I'm going to Instant transmission us to the Crystal Empire!"
“Do it fast!” Ash said, already spotting a small white dot in the rearview. “I do not want to deal with her right now!”
Jackson obeyed, and when Ash blinked, he found himself in front of the Crystal Empire castle.
Ash breathed in relief before looking to Cadence. “Think you could put up a barrier? Keep Sunbutt from messing with us?”
Cadance was already a step ahead. Her horn lit up in a pink glow before a magical dome covered the Empire.
"I'm not sure how long it will hold, though," Cadence noted. "She's not going to stop until you're in Tartarus."
"Pretty much," Ash admitted, resting his armored hand against his forehead.
The group exited the Delta, Ash looking to Jackson.
"You saved me a migraine and a half," Ash said gratefully, before looking over his car. “And not a single scratch either." He chuckled. "If you can get Sunbutt out of here entirely you’d be my new best friend."
"Mind telling me why she's after you?" Jackson asked, following them as they walked for the castle.
“Oh, she thinks I brought the demon apocalypse and blames me for the Princess of Friendship being taken by said Demons,” Ash said, pulling his boomstick from his back. “In case you haven’t realized it yet, I’m Ash Williams from the Evil Dead Series.”
"WAIT, WHAT?!" Jackson said, his eyes turning into Sharingan.
“Long story short, she hates me, and now I have to kill Chrysalis, her Deadite fueled Tirek, and her demon changeling spawn,” Ash continued, glancing up blankly as something collided with Cadence's barrier. “Any chance you can get rid of her without killing her?”
Jackson hummed, powering up to Super Saiyan 3. "Mind her having a few broken limbs?" he asked.
“So long as she’s not here, I don’t care,” Cadance said causing Ash to crack a small smile.
“You heard the Princess,” Ash said with an evil grin. “And you’re not going to refuse an order from a princess, are you?”
Jackson just grinned before flying out of the barrier and up to Celestia.
Celestia barely got time to turn to him before he struck. As Ash and Cadence watched, unable to suppress their smiles, the Queen of Equestria was flung straight into a mountain. The crater she left was quickly swallowed up by a small avalanche.
“Yup, it’s official," Ash declared. "I have a new best friend." He grinned as Jackson reappeared via instant transmission. “You seriously have no idea how much pain and irritation you just saved me.”
"Don't worry about it," Jackson said, powering down. "But as for Twilight we need to find her."
“Yeah, that's the problem,” Shining said to the Saiyan. “Changeling Hives have the ability to hide themselves. No spell or magic can find them.” Shining paused, shifting his hood so it covered his broken horn. “Unless you can use that teleportation thing you did to bring her back?”
Jackson hummed, tapping his chin. "I can't teleport her to us, but I can sense her life energy," Jackson said looking to his right.
“That’s perfect,” Ash said, turning to the Delta. “We’re going need to prepare a bit.” He began to apply the snow chains to the other half of the car.
"First I have a gift for you," Jackson said, pulling out a jar with a pair of Sharingan.
Ash stared at the eyes in shock. "That is creepy as fuck! Who carries a pair of eyes inside a jar with them?”
“Who carries a bloodied chainsaw in the trunk of their car” Jackson retorted with a smirk.
Ash went to argue before his expression drooped. “Damn. Got me there.”
"Anyway, do you want to wait until after we save Twilight, or now?" Jackson asked.
“Hit me with them now,” Ash said as he put the chains on the last tire. “Never know, I might actually need something of this caliber.”
"Whoa, hold on there," Jackson said, lifting a hand. "We will have to hold you down first. Can't have you thrashing around while I pull out your eyes. before Ash knew it he was encased in crystal stone.
"Wait... say what now?" Ash stammered. But in the time it took him to turn, he found himself encased in crystal stone. Unable to move.
"Try not to struggle," Jackson said, putting a piece of stone in Ash's mouth. "You'll just make it worse." He indicated the stone. "Bite down on that; it'll help with the pain."
As the procedure began, Ash bit down so hard, he almost cracked his teeth. But it was worth it: after a moment or two of darkness, his eyesight returned. Blurry, but slowly re-focusing on Jackson. Spitting out the stone Ash glared at him with his newly acquired Sharingan eyes.
“You could have knocked me out first,” Ash grumbled.
"Sorry about that, but you now you have your very own pair of Sharingan" Jackson replied.
Ash broke out of the stone, but before he could retort, Jackson glanced at the empire borders with a look of annoyance.
"Looks like Princess Celestia brought her sister," Jackson commented. "Along with the rest of the elements." He moved towards the entrance of the city.
“Well Celestia's more of a problem than Luna," Ash said, rubbing his eyes as he followed. "And Luna's more of a problem than the Elements. Without Twilight, they might as well just be wearing jewelry."
"Good to know" Jackson replied. Doing some hand signs, he bit his thumb and slammed it on the ground. "SUMMONING JUTSU!" A large wolf appeared out of the smoke and looked to Jackson with white eyes.
“Don’t Kill them," Ash said, even as he replaced his armored hand with his chainsaw. "Even a single Princess missing would spell chaos! Same goes for Twilight’s friends. They're important to this world. And more importantly they’re important to the Princess of Friendship.”
Cadance smiled, though Shining grimaced, resisting the urge to run his sword through the human.
“You have no idea how much I want to kick his ass right now” the unicorn whispered to his wife.
“You don’t mean that, Besides…” Candance gazed at the human. “...I think he could bring out the best in your sister”
“Sam, you ride Shotgun,” Ash said, tossing his Boomstick to her before turning to Jackson. “You taking back or flying?”
"Why do you think I summoned my pet wolf?" Jackson replied, jumping onto his summon and patting his head. "Also the elements are coming along with the princesses."
“You do realize the moment Sunbutt sees me she will try to kill me, right?” Ash argued.
"Don't worry," Jackson replied. "As long as she sees me she won't try anything. After the ass whooping I gave her, she will be less inclined to attack you," Jackson grinned at the approaching princesses. "Besides, as much as you and I both hate her, we’re going to need all the help we can get."
With that, Jackson rot his pet to the edge of the barrier, Ash and his group right behind him in the Delta.
“Fuck” Ash cursed at the barrier, leaning back. “Candance! Let them in!”
“Beg pardon?” Cadance asked with a quirked eyebrow
“Let Luna and her bitch ass sister in,” Ash ordered with a groan.
"Yes Cadence, let them in," Jackson agreed, hopping off and standing right in front of the barrier.
Reluctantly Cadance dispelled the barrier. Celestia gave a long glare at Ash, before switching her glare to Jackson and Cadance.
“So have you come to your senses?" Celestia asked. "And decided to hand the demon over to me?”
“How bout you stop with that shit,” Ash barked out, his eyes shifting to the Sharingan pinwheel. “We let you into the barrier to help save Twilight. Keep acting this way and I’ll just let Cadance kick you back out!”
“Who are you to talk to the Princess like that?!” Rainbow yelled approaching the Delta
Ash took the shotgun from Sam and pointed it at the pegasus, stopping her in her tracks. “Someone who’s trying to save your world." Ash handed the gun back to Sam before looking to Celestia. “Jackson knows where Twilight is. You lot can either stay behind or follow. I don’t care either way.” He turned to the Saiyan. “Lead the Way Saiyan”
"Hang on," Jackson said. He stood still for a moment, before opening his eyes, showing his sage mode. "Sage mode will help me find her more better. Also it will tell me where exactly she is and she's not far away neither." Jackson turned his attention to the Elements. "Pinkie Pie. Fluttershy. How about you join me?"
Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie glanced at their princess, but Fluttershy couldn't resist the allure of the wolf, and raced over, Pinkie Pie shrugging and joining her with a grin.
“Alright. Everybody ready?” Ash turned the ignition causing the Delta to roar. “Rarity, Applejack hop in the back!”
The ponies complied. And Jackson's wolf took off, with Ash in hot pursuit. The two traveled across the snow at fast speeds until they crossed the perimeter of the Changeling Hive. Jackson and his wolf skidded to a stop, forcing Ash to stop as well.
“Ho-lee shit…” Ash mumbled, turning his gaze to the Galactus sized hive.
"Yea I thought the same thing too," Jackson admitted, dispelling his pet. "But don't worry. I have a plan."
“Does that plan involve dealing with a mutated Tirek?” Ash said pointing at the entrance, and the snoozing Centaur guarding it.
"I will deal with him first before we go in so we don't have to worry about him later on," Jackson assured them, turning super saiyan.
“Aren’t you guys forgetting something?” Sam said getting both of the Displaced attention. “Chrysalis isn’t stupid enougn to just leave Tirek to guard the Entrance!”
Looking ahead and activating his Sharingan, Ash immediately noticed the horde of Changelings around the beast.
"What you think I won't be able to handle it or something?" Jackson said, stretching his arms and legs.
“I think I have something that could take out the small fry,” Ash replied, reaching into the back seat. “And it’ll leave big red all to you.” Ash pulled out the gatling gun given to him by the merchant. “Now this may not have affected Tirek, but something tells me it’ll more than do just the trick for the Changelings.” Ash replaced his chainsaw with the gat.
"Well then," Jackson replied. "Let's get this party started!"
Jackson flew at Tirek, jarring him out of his sleep with a mile wide throw.
"All of you help Ash while I deal with him," Jackson said, making three clones and charging Tirek as he let out a roar.
Nodding, Ash raced up to the entrance. Sam right behind him with the chainsaw and shotgun in hand. Reluctantly, Celestia joined him, firing beams of magic as Ash and Sam unleashed a barrage of lead.
"Stay behind us, my little ponies!" Celestia declared, firing at the supports.
"Whoa-hey!" Ash yelled. "You're gonna destroy the whole damn thing if you do that!"
Celestia grit her teeth and ignored him. Shaking his head, Ash mowed down a line of changelings, turning them to mush. "Sam! Keep the Element’s safe!”
Sam nodded and turned her shotgun on a changeling about to attack the girls, but then Jackson appeared, tearing the changeling's head off with a casual look.
"Twilight's straight up ahead and to the left," Jackson said, walking ahead.
"And Tirek?" Applejack asked.
Jackson jutted a thumb, revealing a crater with two broken hooves jutting out of the ground.
“Thank you... again” Ash said, running past Jackson.
No changeling could stop them; any that came out were gunned down by Ash. Following the Saiyan's direction, Ash soon found himself in front of a sealed door. A green glow poured from the borders of the door, Slamming his shoulder into the door Ash attempted to break it down but to no avail. Aiming his Gatling, Ash began to fill the doors with holes until it looked like a chunk of swiss cheese. Ash jarred the door open with a kick... and found his cross on the ground.
With black burnt flesh on it.
Gazing up, he found Twilight bound to the wall. A green magic circle around her.
Ash jumped to his feet, only to be tackled back to the ground by the Changeling Queen.
“̗ͯY̟͑o͖u̻ ͩwil̰l͚ ̻n͉ͯot ͓s̓t͒o̱p̌ ̲t͕h̐i͖͆s̹̈ n͔̓ow”ͭ Chrysalis shouted, keeping the human from moving. “̱M̋y ͗ͅC̍hil̩dren̚ ͐w̝̽iͅll ̮r̟̍o̯a̠̍m͎ Eq̫uu͕̚s̓, ̬A̠n͕̓d͌ ̚n̗ȯt̬ y̭̋o̚u̪ ̙̌oͯͅr ͛yͤoȕr̤ f̭̐r̪e̟̽ak̞̎ ͩw͗i̍ͅlͥl͙̃ ͐ͅst̅op̅ t̐h̓iͫs͎̔!͛"
“And what makes you think I’ll just lay down and let you win?” Ash growled, slamming his head into the Queens.
Chrysalis recoiled, allowing Ash to slug the Queen in the face with the gatling. Rolling out from under the Queen, Ash kicked her to the ground and aimed his gatling to her face.
Fear plastered her snout as the barrels began to spin.
“I’m going to enjoy blowing holes into that bug face of yours, you bitch” Ash said.
And with those words, his gatling fired... only to be blinded by a flash of light.
Regaining his vision, Ash saw Chrysalis gone. Whipping his head around, Ash was met with Jackson removing Twilight from the wall.
"I got Twilight before Chrysalis could get to her," Jackson assured Ash. "But I can't sense queen bug bitch energy anywhere near here. She must have fled."
“Chrysalis wasn’t our priority,” Ash replied, retrieving his cross and taking Twilight from the Saiyan. “So long as she doesn’t have Twilight, that’s all that matters.”
"Uh, guys!" Rainbow Dash reported. "Tirek's gone."
Ash and Jackson grimaced. "Bug Bitch must have grabbed him when she fled," Ash muttered. "Looks like we'll still have to deal with him later."
But all thoughts of Tirek left Ash's mind as Twilight's eyes fluttered open. Carefully, he helped her stand. And together, they headed back for the entrance... only to find Applejack with his boom stick. And Sam lying on the ground.
A hole in her chest.
Rarity looked like she had been screaming at Applejack, but the farm pony turned, spotting Ash, and aimed the boom stick at the group.
“Give us Twi Back ya Demon!” she declared.
“That gun scatters," Ash growled without fear. "You shoot me you shot the Princess.” He stepped right past the farm pony. "And the only way I’m handing her over to the Sun Bitch is if you shoot me.” Glancing down, Ash saw Samantha’s wounds were already healing.
Applejack aimed at Jacob’s back. But before she could fire, Jackson seized her from behind, while Sam jumped up and wrenched the shotgun out of her hands. Applejack writhed with a growl, before Jackson knocked her out with a chop to the back of her neck.
“Ms. Belle," Ash asked the unicorn. "Would you kindly take Applejack and rest of your friends back to Ponyville?”
Rarity looked at Twilight with hesitation. Ash sighed.
“Or the Empire," he offered. "I’m sure Twilight would like to see all of you once she’s awake”
Rarity’s eyes lit up, and she began to teleport her friends to the castle. “And Ash” Rarity said, gaining his attention. “Just like you prefer Ash, I’d like it if you just called me Rarity.” With a smile, she teleported away along with her friends.
Before either Ask or Jackson could so much as blink the hive began to tremble and crumble, the result of Celestia's magic.
“Dammit Celestia," Ash muttered. "Jackson, we need to get out of here!”
Jackson's fingers were already at his head. And before Ash could blink, he, Sam and Jackson were right next to the Elements. At the same time, Twilight fully woke up, staring up in shock at Jackson.
"Um... Ash?" she stammered. "Why is there another... you?"
Jackson grinned. "Glad to see you're okay. Even if you're an alternate version of my Twilight... it's good to know that one of my herd mares is okay."
"Herd mare?" Ash's eyes narrowed. "Wait a minute, Jackson... where's my car?"
Jackson pointed to the castle. Sure enough, the Delta was sitting right next to it, a Jackson clone saluting them before vanishing.
Ash sighed in relief. But before he could thank the Saiyan, Twilight wrapped her arms around his neck in a hug.
“I never once gave up hope” Twilight whispered. “I knew you would save me.” Twilight tightened the hug. “Thank you Ashley”
Ash slowly returned the hug. “You’re welcome, Princess.” Ash looked back at the Saiyan. “And thank you Jackson, for everything.”
"You don't have to thank me," Jackson replied. "As long as she is safe, it's good enough for me." He grinned. "Besides I think you and I need to talk to the princesses and the girls about this whole 'calling you a demon' thing." His gaze darkened as he turned to the mares. Specifically Celestia. "Because if they say it one more time I won't hesitate to rip one of their arms off."
Twilight broke the hug. "Please don't," she said.
"Yeah, and don't bother trying to change it," Ash added. “They’ll just keep doing it. Besides, name calling doesn’t really bother me”
Jackson's death glare at Celestia didn't fade. "I still don't like to hear my new brother-in-law being called that."
Celestia merely crossed her arms and glared back.
“Talking isn’t going to change anything," Ash replied. "Some people are just too stubborn to admit that some people are different than they appear to be,” He started helping Twilight into the castle. “Jackson Williams; our business is done. Again, thank you for your help.”
Just then a portal opened up behind Jackson. He glanced at it before looking at Ash one more time. "I hope you have a good life, Jacob. Because the road ahead of you will not be pretty if you are the same as the real Ash Williams." He smirked at Twilight. "And try not to have kids with her too early."
“Over my rotting corpse,” Shining growled, drawing his sword.
Jackson just laughed, turning to Shining. "That's what my Shining Armor said but guess what? Me and my Twilight are about to get married, along with Pinkie pie and her sister Maud pie too."
“Damn,” Ash muttered with a laugh. “Jackson you are a damn player." He paused. “Oh wait, You said I could make a token? How exactly do I do that?”
"Oh yeah I almost forgot," Jackson pulled out a mini-version of the Delta, carved out of crystla. "I had one of my clones make one, I think you might like it." He tossed the mini-Delta to Ash. "All you have to do is focus your energy through it, say a Creed to it, and it's thrown into the air."
Ash thought for a second before speaking. “If you seek the Aid of the Chosen one, speak my Creed, Hail to the King, Baby!” Ash then tossed the mini Delta into the air
The small delta vanished into the air with a ripple like a stone in water.
“I hope we cross paths again, Jackson” Ash said to the Saiyan
" I hope the same thing too, Ash Williams of Equestria," Jackson replied. Then he walked through the portal, and out of Ash's Equestria.
"Well, he seems nice," Twilight commented.
