Chapter 2: The Pony War Saga: Battle For Ponyville Part 1
Previous ChapterMeeting
Jack strafed to the left narrowly dodging the purple beam of magic. He raised his front hooves to block the flurry of orange speed kicks aimed for his face. Shooting up he narrowly avoided the pink ball of fury slamming him from behind. only to dodge a flash of rainbow streaking through the sky.
"These ponies give me no rest." He grumbled as he dodged yet another kick aimed for his chest
"This Pegasi good girls don't drop your guard".
"Yea yea yea he won't take me down, that's for sure and what does he have to hide under that hood"
"Please dear you have to handle this gracefully"
"Whoo this guy can dodge this is fun!"
Rainbow dash kicked two nearby crates towards Jack which he proceeded to dodge using his wings. Pinkie Pie bowled into him sending him into a tree. Twilight and Rarity slammed him with more beams of magic and Applejack lassoed him to the tree.
"Wow, I didn't think we'd actually beat him "
" Now tell us Pegasi where is Fluttershy."
" Yea before I give you a black eye"
" Now now rainbow we just want answers"
"Fine, so pegasi where is Fluttershy?"
"I'm not a pegasi"
"Yea you are"
"No" he flicked his hood back "I'm not"
* silence*
"well?"
"You..... you're a Alicorn?"
"yes my name is Jack"
"That's a strange name"
"For your world in my world its actually pretty plain"
"Your world?"
"Yea earth"
"No way Alicorns come from Equestria"
"Yea I'm actually a human"
"wait then what would you want with Fluttershy"
"I told you already I don't know where Fluttershy is"
" Really? how can we trust you, you're a human"
"Do you even know what a human is? "
*silence*
"Twilight what is a human"?
"I don't know much I've never seen one in person not even seen a pic-"
"Don't worry guys we can trust him"
"Pinkie why can we just trust him"?
'Because we can. Just trust me"
"So you want us to trust you to trust him that he does not know where Fluttershy is"
"Yes Dashie I feel he can help us"
"Well Pinkie could always tell things unexplainable... so Alicorn, will you help us"
"I can't say no can I"
"Yea you can't, applejack untie him"
"Alright then but my name is jack."
"K Jackie"
"My nickname is longer than my name you know"
" I know silly but it flows better."
"Alright lets carry on to Ponyville"
"Yea It's a mess Discord and the main army left but they keep prisoners there. We may be able to find Fluttershy and Luna"
"Then we will go"
The mane 6 galloped towards the ravaged ponyville with an extra member leading the way.
Battle plan
The group approached the campsite. large number of the Goblin guard gathered around dim fires trying to get warmth from the nearing winter.
"Alright lets go!" Rainbow dash sped forward as fast as her wings could carry her only to be yanked back by a lasso
"Hold on sugar cube we gotta plan things out"
"Yes AJ is right we need someone to make a distraction with water. I read that goblins are afraid of water."
"What about the trolls water isn't gonna scare them"
"I'll take'em out myself" Rainbow Dash stood on her two legs and pranced around throwing air punches
Jack shook his head " Actually I was thinking of using wits. Trolls are slow and will go blind or turn to stone when exposed to sunlight."
"So?"
"So we wait it out. The sun will go up in a few hours, we will have to distract distract the trolls surrounding the camp so that they stay in the sun. Pinkie, You and twilight collect water and wash the goblins towards the east. Rainbow I need you and Rarity to open the cages and then guide the prisoners to the west AWAY from the goblins. applejack I will need you to help me with the trolls."
"Wow you can sure think on your feet."
"And how will we stop the trolls they are facing away from the sun, they only go blind or turn to stone if they see the sun?"
"Well I already settled that. Rarity i need a large blanket."
"Cotton, wool or silk. ohh I know maybe a nice red velve-" Rarity droned on on until Jack interrupted.
"Anything will do, as long as it is shiny"
"ahh well Jack that is my specialty. Alright it will be done soon but I need to get back to my house."
"Alright I will take you there now Twilight I need you to collect that water like the last time you fed the Ursa Minor use that same trick."
"Wait how did you know about the Ursa Mi-"
but Jack had already left.
Home Sweet Home
"So how long has it been scince you defeated him?"
"well that was probably three years ago. back then when we were having fun it stopped when Discord returned a few months ago wrecking more havoc in ponyville. In a matter of weeks he took over city by city with his new powers until Canterlot remained."
Rarity sighed deeply "Seemed like only yesterday we were performing in Hearth Warmi-"
"-Ing Eve where all of you starred as the main characters".
Rarity looked at Jack suspiciously "How did you know that?"
Jack struggled for an answer other than the truth when something caught his eye
"RARITY!" Jack swooped forward and carried Rarity into the air. Two creatures emerged from the now fallen house and flew to the sky. Jack swooped down dropped Rarity and went back up in time to see them attacking from both sides. spinning he narrowly avoided the dark shadows and slammed his hoof into the nearest thing that he could see. It dropped into another house crashing through a couple of stories before no more noise was heard.
"Rarity" Jack flew away form her position to not harm her in the battle.
Jack strafed using his larger wingspan to move more quickly and to fly faster. but the creature did not falter. it copied his every move mimicking is attacks and dodging his swoops and kicks. the second one had woken and began to rise slowly from the abandoned house. Jack changed his pattern.
He swung his front hoof at the creature, it dodged effortlessly, but it did not see the wing smash into it from the other direction. Jack breathed a sigh of relief, unknowing that the first assailant had risen, he began to fly back to Rarity when it ambushed him from a cloud digging its claws into his fleshy neck as Jack spiraled out of control, it threw him to the floor where the poison began to seep. the creature then flew back to the unicorn to take it prisoner. Jack's eyes began to waver, before he closed his eyes he heard a scream followed by a bright flash of blue, then everything went black.
"You've gotta wake up darling we still have a far off way to go before reaching my house." Rarity flicked her hair back and nudged jacks face. He woke up with a start
"Rarity, the creatures, you screaming, blue light. are you okay?"
"I am fine don't worry about me, who says a pony can't take care of herself anyway your wound is getting worse, we better reach as soon as possible. I've already dealed with those ruffians. If it doesn't hurt too much I hope we can keep going, my mane got ruffled when he attacked me and I want to look my best when i defeat evil."
Jack smiled remembering the diamond dogs "alright lets head out." he stood on all fours getting back the movements to his legs "pins and needles" "It wasn't poison, just a sleeping agent. they obviously don't want to kill us."
The rest of the journey was uneventful. they hid from patrols and managed to get there just in time.
"Alright time for that blanket." she started walking towards the door Jack eyed around to look out for any scouts when he heard a scream.
"AHHHHH. Out of all the things that could happen, this is THE! WORST! POSSIBLE! THING!"
Jack rushed in ready for a fight only to see Rarity lying on a couch
"whats wrong Rarity?" he surveyed the area only to see nothing
"ahh darling sorry to trouble you my place is a mess everything ruined, I bet those thieving little creatures stole my works ohh when I get my hands on them." Jack sighed as Rarity continued to rant on and shout
"I will not have this I need to clear everything up do you hear me EVERYTHING"
"Rarity we kinda need that blanket to you know save ponyville not that cleaning isn't important but...."
"Yes you are right I will make that and afterwards we clean" she immediately shook off the anger and began to work on the shiny blanket
"let me tell you this will be the most fashionable weapon ever built When all this-"
Jack had stopped listening, he was thinking about his past life. I can't remember a thing, who am I? What am I doing here? and how do I know who they all are and their adventures? Before long he had drifted off to sleep
"Jack? Jack!" he woke up to a smiling Rarity looking him straight in the eyes.
"how long was I out?" Jack rubbed his eyes
"half an hour, but never mind that its done!" her eyes lit up with glee
He stared at it. it certainly was shiny even in the moonlight it glowed like a lamp
"Perfect isn't it?" ive designed it so that it can be used as a cape and on the inside an inside out camouflage its perfect!"
She jumped around with glee. Jack smiled " alright time to get back to the others.
