POV: Jeff, and I hope it to stay this way for a while!
“Hey bro, what’s happening?” I said gleefully. I was going to be okay; I just needed to rest for a while, even though it’s against my will. I REALLY didn’t feel like I needed rest, but the doctors insisted, and they apparently have the final word on everything. I smiled at the ponies before me. Lightning is grinning the widest grin I’ve seen him have, Green is talking with White Rose, which is understandable, probably to explain in a little more detail of the story, as we had to keep it short before the whole battle thing. Twilight has tears in her eyes, smiling, and everybody else is smiling, Pinkie grinning so widely you’d think her teeth would be ripping her gums open.
“I’m serious, what’s going on?” I ask Lightning happily. He smiles and trots over to me, and we brohoof. I smile. I’ve ALWAYS wanted to do that with someone/somepony!
“Well, we’re not sure. We’ve spent the last day and a half hoping you were going to be okay, and you are!’ Lightning flutters above the ground before gracefully floating down. I close my eyes.
“What about Shadows?” I ask. Lightning frowns.
“He got away, the bastard,” he says quietly. Dammit! This is not good!
“Any idea where he went?” I ask, frowning.
“Nope. Haven’t heard from him since last night,” I groan. This is bad…
“Oh well… Hey, want to know something? When you are in a coma, you are actually aware of your surroundings, and can hear everyone and everything around you?” I say, smiling.
“No… I didn’t know that,” Lightning chuckles.
“It’s true! So that means that I haven’t slept for the past 48 hours!” I say grinning madly. Lightning looks at me, smiling, but confused.
“Do… do you want us to leave?” He asks. I shake my head.
“No, but I would like to sleep. Bring some chairs in, or make some chairs out of the air particles, I don’t care. Just, please, stay in here,” I plead. They all nod, and sit on the chairs. I settle back down into the pillow, and close my eyes, instantly falling asleep.
I open my eyes to severe sunlight, and the chattering of my friends. I look at them, but they seem not to notice. I sigh. At least I’m not going to be bed ridden today. Oh no, I am leaving this hospital. TODAY. I hear a small knock at the door, and I tell him to come in, which alerts the other ponies, and they bid their good mornings to me. A nurse comes in and unhooks all the machinery that’s connected to me, and I stand up. It feels good to be back on my feet. I stretch a little, before looking at my friends.
“So… I can leave now?” I ask the nurse. She nods, and I whoop. I’m already in my clothes, as the doctors didn’t have any hospital shirts that fit me, so I run out the door of my room, out the front door, and into the… smoke? I cough loudly, looking back at my friends, who close the door to the hospital. I kneel down out of the smoke.
“Where did all this smoke come from?” I ask.
“Ponyville, I’m assuming,” Green tells me. Logical enough.
“Should we go check it out?” I ask. He nods.
“C’mon everypony, we are going to Ponyville!” I yell. They give a small ‘yay’ before I start walking. Upon arriving, the place is worse than it was when we were here the other time before. I look up to see a yellow claw in front of me, and I yelp, stepping backwards. I look up even further to see the owner of the claw, who is drinking the glass of chocolate milk. Literally, drinking the glass.
Discord.
“Hello, my little ponies, and my little human. Having fun?” He asks before laughing.
“Oh god, now we have to put up with this guy?” I ask Lightning, and he nods slowly. I moan. This day gets better and better.
“Having fun?” Discord asks again. I shake my head.
“Not really. Now, if we added a little-“ something conks me on the head and I see Twilight looking at me, angry. She pretends to zip her lips, before looking back at Discord, who is still drinking the glass. I look up at him. He looks at me before snapping his fingers, and I feel a burning in my face. I shriek loudly and fall to the ground, holding my face, screaming still. I feel tears’ welling up in my eyes before a mirror magically appears in front of me. I look at my face, and I yell out loud. I bare a striking resemblance to ‘Jeff the Killer’… Ironic, how we both share the same first name.
“What the hell did you do to me, you… asshole!” I say to him. He just laughs, snaps his fingers, and flies away. I notice I can’t stop smiling. I try to stop, but I can’t. I look back to the other ponies.
“We have to stop him, FAST!” I say. They all nod. “What about the Elements?” I ask.
“I don’t think he would fall for it this time, unless we get him secretly,” Twilight says. I nod, finding the logic. I suddenly get a bright idea.
“I have an idea. Everypony come on in, I’ll tell you it.”
“OI! DISCORD!” I yell out into the sky. I hear a pop and Discord appears in front of me.
“What do you want, I have chaos to make?” He asks. I tap my chin.
“How do you know about Jeff? The killer, I mean, not me,” I ask him. He frowns at me, before laughing.
“Silly human, I know EVERYTHING about your world. The facts, the myths, the stories, the fake ones, the real ones, how to reproduce-“ I cut him off.
“OKAYOKAYOKAY, I get the idea!” I yell at him. He laughs sharply again, and I give the thumbs up to the ponies behind Discord. Their necklaces start to glow, and they slowly start floating up. I feel a force around me, and I start floating.
“Whoa, what the hell is happening?” I ask. Discord stops laughing, and looks at me. He gasps, and looks at me in awe. I feel a burning in my face, as the smile drops from my face. I feel my face. It’s turned back to normal, and I give a small ‘phew’, before light fills my eyes. I feel something burning in my chest, but it doesn’t hurt. I start floating up, and I yell. I feel whatever was in my chest release and fly out. I fall to the ground with a thud, and I close my eyes. What happened? I open my eyes and see Ponyville is ridden of flames, and it seems to have gone back to normal. The destruction is gone, and I see ponies having the same reaction. I look over to Lightning, who is looking at us in awe. I walk over to him.
“Did you see what happened to me?” I ask him. He nods, and he tips his head forward.
“You kind of… started floating, then your face melted back to its original form. Then, your eyes flashed white, and some orb thing shaped like a… I dunno, flew out of your chest, and it hit Discord with the other elements power, and he disappeared, but not before turning to stone,” Lightning explains. I’m looking at him in shock and awe. I walk over to the Elements, and I help them up.
“Are you guys okay?” I ask. They nod and Twilight looks at me.
“What about you? Are you okay?” She asks. I nod.
“Do you know what just happened?” I ask her, and she frowns a little.
“Well, I kind of used a little bit of your power and energy to help us. Don’t worry, you won’t permanently be an Element, it was just a one time thing,” She reassures, and I breathe out in relief. I look over at the other ponies, who are cheering and stomping their hooves. I look at Twilight, who is waving around at the ponies, and we all join in. I’ve never actually done something so heroic before, and I hope I can do it again, because the feeling when you have saved someone – or somepony – feels great. After a few minutes of waving the ponies start living their daily lives again, quickly forgetting all about the reign of terror that just happened. All of a sudden, Pinkie appears beside my side.
“Wooow…. We sure got rid of Mr. Discord fast! It’s like, someone writing a story or something, got REALLY bored of this chapter and decided to end it really fast because they are LAZY!” Pinkie grins at me. I look at her in confusion.
“Um… Okay?” I tell her, and she bounces off. I shake my head. I’ve had enough Pinkie confusion for the day. I touch Twilight’s mane, and she looks at me.
“Could we head back to the library? I’m a little tired,” I tell her. She smiles.
“You go on ahead. I need to write something to Princess Celestia, to tell her what has happened today,” She says. I nod, and roll my eyes. I start walking back to the library. I wave to anypony that walks by politely, and when I arrive to the library, I immediately walk to my room and lie on my bed, and fall into a deep sleep, forgetting all about Shadows. Who would’ve thought the very pony I had forgotten about, was watching me, right at that moment?
