The Hero They Needed

by The Alchemist


All good things must come to an end

A/N Thanks everyone still reading my story I know it isn't the best. When someone comments something they liked it makes me smile like an idiot and brightens up my day. So thanks to everyone for reading to the very end!

Dammit when is God and his asshat angel going to let us be?

Probably never.

I had just finished explaining to god everything that had happened.

"Well my child it seems your work on that world is done. I expect that heaven has everything you could ever want." God said

"What if I was to attempt to break free? What would happen?" I asked

"It would not happen you would have to get through me and Gabriel first." Micheal said

They grabbed me and threw me into a cell inside the white room. Leaving me alone for I don't even know how long it's been.
Wrath trained me helping me become stronger. Even though I didn't have a whole lot to work with I became stronger and faster. Divine trained me in all of the combat strategies and tactics I knew and some I didn't. They constantly came in and tortured me trying to turn me into the perfect angel they wanted. It felt like years in there.

After spending so much time in that cell I got tired of looking at it so I ripped it off it's hinges and walked out of the white room.

Why didn't we do that before?

Fucked if I know.

Something slammed into me knocking me into the ground.

"You think that I will let you go?" Micheal said

"No but I think you should brush your teeth." Wrath made me say

I threw him off of me and got to my feet. I shifted my armor into it's white knight form alongside my crusader sword.

"FOR PONY!" I shouted

I rammed my blade through his armor making him grunt in pain. He knocked me down shrugging off the attack like it was nothing. He pulled the blade from his stomach and threw it on the ground. He walked up to me and grabbed me by the front of my armor and slammed me into the ground breaking my sternum. I felt it shift back into place the bones grinding against each other. After that was done I got back up and summoned my sword to my hands. (Listen To This)

My sword shifted into a roman gladuis. I did an upward slash that connected with Micheal's arm chopping it off. His arm regrew and he launched himself at me skewering me on the end of his spear. I felt myself fly off of the end of it and into a wall. My sword slid away from me but i was losing the will to fight. But I continued to because I wanted to get back to Equestria. I threw an uppercut that connected perfectly with his jaw.

"Shoryuken!"

He got up and moved in on me trying to land a hit. I crouched down and to my surprise I pulled another move off.

"Hadouken!" It hit him full force in the chest knocking him down.

He tried getting back up but I teleported right next to him. My armor shifting into an old duster and fedora and my sword changed into an all too familiar magnum. I pulled the trigger and watched the bullet hit Micheal in the temple disapating him.

"Three video game references in one minute that's gotta be a new record." I said to myself as I leapt off of the edge of heaven

Why don't we just teleport to Equestria?

Because that's a good idea and I don't get good ideas until I've done something stupid.

I teleported and found myself in the library of Twilight Sparkle. Who looked at me in surprise then anger.

"Hey Twilight, Long time no see." I said nonchalantly

"Get out." She said

"Why?" I asked completely confused

"Why? I'll tell you why. You made us believe you were dead. Rainbow hasn't been the same since that day. She's depressed you can't just come into someones life and just leave like that. Now GET OUT!" She shouted using her telekinesis to throw me out.

They hate us......

They think we abandoned them......

Don't worry I think someone else will be happy to see us.

I walked to Rarity's house and opened the door.

"Rarity? It's me I need to talk." I called out

She walked to the door Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Applejack and Rainbow behind her. Rainbow flew over to me and hit me hard in the chest while Applejack hit me in the legs breaking them. I hope not on purpose. They looked at me and flew inside leaving me outside in the mud.

My legs repaired themselves and I got back up. I flew to the castle hoping Celestia would know what to do. I arrived and landed in the garden where I saw Celestia sitting enjoying the sun.

"Princess, I need your help." I said

"Go you are no longer allowed in my presence. Be thankful I don't kill you on the spot." She said coldly

"YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE FUCK I'VE BEEN THOUGH. DO YOU? FUCKING PRISSY ASS DUMB AS SHIT BITCH! I said loudly
They tortured me for however long I've been gone and the only reason I didn't give up was because I wanted to come back here and see my friends. But no instead of the welcome I deserve I lost my friends. I SAVED YOUR KINGDOM. When Malice formed you couldn't stop him only I could." I was in a rage

"Fuck you and your unloving ponies. I said changing my sword into a magnum.

I lifted it up and put it to my temple.

"WAIT!" Celestia called out

I opened my eyes and was immediately tackled by a blur of white.

"Please don't Jake. I didn't know what happened it didn't occur to any of us that you couldn't return. We assumed you didn't truly love Rainbow and had just run out on her." She said letting me get back up

"I'm insulted Princess. I gave her my life if that's not true love then I don't know what is. I will always protect this place even if I'm not wanted." I said

"I think there are six of my little ponies that would like to apologize." Celestia said gesturing behind me

I turned around and saw my six friends standing behind me looking at me with teary eyes. They said nothing they just walked up to me and hugged me crying into my armor.

Many Years in the future

I stood above my friends graves alongside the two rulers of Equestria. I shifted my armor into that of the 3rd U.S Infantry Regiment. My weapon of choice was a rifle. I shot twenty one shots into the air a symbolic gesture only I had passed on to the Equines. I marched back and forth along their graves twenty one steps exactly then I would turn back and continue. I did this for one month straight because I hurt too much to stop.

I cried and whispered my prayers hoping that would mean something. I hadn't aged in the seventy years that had passed but I still remained loyal to my friends and my marefriend.

I finally feel myself becoming old and tired. It is a joyous thing after all I had been through. Wrath and Divine are no longer with me. They haven't been for many years after I sent them off to find someone else's mind and hopefully help them out like they did me. I think I'm just going to close my eyes for a second.

Canterlot Royal Cemetery

Celestia felt no more tears flow forth anymore. She had lost eight very good friends of hers. The six bearers of the elements of harmony. Twilight's assistant Spike who finally got to marry the love of his life. And Equestria's guardian and savior who defeated any evil that so much as cast a look at Equestria. He kept the girls together through all the rough times and was the glue that held this nation together. He was truly a hero.

Celestia gazed sadly at the tombstone that was emblazoned with a gold sword and shield.

Here Lies The Guardian Of Equestria

Jake Eld May Songs Be Sung About Him For Years To Come


"No more heroes" Celestia said sadly
