On the Run

Chapter 14: Toby vs. Ultimate George/ Royal Transformation (edited)

George laughed evilly while giving nightmares to the ponies in Ponyville. He had stomped on houses and cottages. He had even destroyed the homes of the Mane Six and the Children of Harmony.


Back with Toby...

He had ran back to Ponyville just in time. When he saw the destruction his fraud had made, he felt bad for the ponies who lived there, but once he seen the destroyed homes of him and his family, he felt devastated. But this won't stop him. When he heard the screams of ponies nearby, he ran to his destination. There was George Cunningham, bringing ruin to everyone that stood between him.

"MUAWHAHA! I have avenged my father!" he laughed.

"NOT SO FAST!!!" a voice shouted.

George turned around to see a determined Toby Mason standing in front of his destroyed home.

"Heh! How would you be able to stop me? Oh, that's right! You can't! Because I'm big and you're small!" George chortled.

"I wouldn't think about that." Toby just spread his arms around him and a magic rose out of him.

"What's this? A magic show?" George mocked.

Toby ignored his double and a rainbow orb came around him. Some light was enveloping around him. It was so bright that everyone in Equestria can see it. The orb gave Toby his rainbow power but it's changing to another shape. It changed him from a human to a familiar pink puffball. Obviously, he must change into that from since it's the only way to defeat George. The only thing Toby has equipped with him is a star rod that is lowering down to him.

"Let's rumble." George and Toby said at the same time.

George rose stones up and threw them at Toby. But the boy floated out of the way. Then he fired stars at the criminal.

"Gah! You think that can be easy for you?" George shouted.

He then proceeded to shoot fireballs at Toby. But Toby dodged them all and returned the favor.

"You see that, George?!?" Toby shouted. "Good triumphs over evil!"

"We'll see about that." George commented as he whistled.

Some missiles were behind George and the criminal threw them at the boy. The boy dodged them again. Then Toby shot some stars at George.

"Grr! That's it, young man!" George angrily yelled.

He summoned a giant boulder and caused a spell to the rock. He threw the rock at Toby. The child tried to dodge the projectile, but the rock was following him directly. It couldn't be distracted. It's main objective was to crush Toby. It was too late. The boulder crushed Toby in Fluttershy's cottage.

Inside the non-broken parts of the cottage, Angel heard the crush. He called his animal friends and led them outside. They saw a huge boulder across from them. All of them with Mr. Bear lifted the boulder and threw it somewhere else. When they saw Toby under the boulder, they were all shocked. Angel checked Toby's pulse, but it showed no signs of Toby waking up. The animals all hung their heads in sadness that their child was in a unconscious state, but George interrupted the scene while laughing evilly.

"Ha! That pest is out of the way! I gotten my revenge! Nothing can stop me!" he laughed.

However, he felt a tap on his shoulder, and turned around to see an angry pack of animals.

Mr. Bear bit down on George's hand while the birds were poking their beaks at George's cheeks. Most of the animals joined the bash down while some stayed behind to watch the unconscious boy.

"OW! HEY! CUT THAT OUT!" George shrieked while trying to whack them away. However his arms and legs are restrained by the animals.

While trying to defeat George, a magical tomato flew out of him and landed nearby Toby. Angel took notice of this and grabbed it. He then opened Toby's mouth and put the tomato in it. Angel closed down Toby's mouth repeatedly so he could chew it. George whacked the animals away from him and stood up. But he failed to notice Toby rising.

"Ugh. What happened?" Toby asked himself. He woke up to see the animals surrounding him with smiles of joy.

"Thank you for reviving me, everyone." Toby said as the animals grabbed him in one big hug.

After that was done, Toby flied back above.

"Surprised to see me?" he asked George with a smirk as he fired his star rod one final time and threw at George. However, George is still smiling evilly, and still large.

"What's going on?" Toby cried. Suddenly, George grabbed Toby and clutched him tightly.

"FOOL! You think I would be defeated that easily?" George taunted as he sucked Toby's powers away and threw him away.

"Oh, no." Toby whimpered as he got up. "George got my powers and I can't stop him! It's all my fault!" He curled up in a ball and started crying until a voice interrupted him.

"Toby..." the voice echoed.

"Wha-- Who's there?" Toby wondered.

"It's me, Heaven." the voice answered.

"Heaven?!? What are you doing here?" Toby fearfully asked.

"You lost to the most dangerous human in existence, so you must not give up." Heaven explained.

"But how?" Toby pondered.

"Here. Take this magic potion. It will twansfer you to where George is." Heaven finished.

"Thanks, Heaven!" Toby cheered as he drank the potion and disappeared.

"Hmm. Since that pest is out of the way, I should decide where to rule Equestria. It can't be Ponyville since I destroyed everything. I guess that my next destination is Manehattan!" George said to himself while ponies cried in fear.

"How about your next destination is behind bars?" George turned to see Toby standing in a pillar.

"WHAT?!? It can't be!!!" George cried.

"Oh, trust me. I've survived lots of worse than this." Toby laughed.

"Well, why can't you use your powers for other purposes like I did?" George asked the boy.

"I wouldn't do that. You'll never get me to turn against my friends."

"Ugh. You're a child, you know that? With my new powers, it'll be easy to control you. You can fight all you want, you'll won't escape. Like THIS!" George said while shooting rays at Toby.

"OWWW!" Toby cried in pain.

"Is that painful? Give it up! Join me! Unless you do, you will suffer the consequences!" George said.

"No, I won't! I won't!" Toby pleaded while struggling in pain.

"You think you can beat me? You're no match for my powers!" George argued.

Suddenly, Toby's heart was pounding in anger. "No more of your EEEVVVILLLL!!!" he yelled, as the force field exploded, knocking George over.

"AAH! My powers! Why didn't they work on you?" he asked.

"I'll tell you why." Toby smirked.

"What??" George asked.

"Power alone isn't the true strength!" Toby said with pride.

"Ugh! I can't believe this! I've got no further use of you, Toby!" George said, while turning into his normal form, and flying in top of an abandoned statue. He got inside, and the statue broke, revealing a giant ape head, and when George got inside, it's eyes lighted yellow. "Take this!"

The head started firing bombs. Toby managed to dodge them by dashing across and got to George's statue.

"Hyah!" Toby said, as he hit the statue's head. The statue began to turn red, but it's blasts were more faster and earthquakes were caused. Toby took an opportunity to avoid it and strike George. Now it was on it's anger. The statue's head fired bombs all over the sky, while some floated and tried to harm Toby. Toby zinged and hit George another time. The statue's head began to move and fly. Luckily for Toby, he floated and landed in Ponyville. The statue's head with George flew around, until the body began to crumble, revealing a robot prototype of Lord Tirek. The head began to connect with the body, and the eyes of it flashed bright red.

"Let's do this!" Toby exclaimed.

The robot pounded it's chest, sending in flying saucers. It pounded the ground, with Toby avoiding the attack. George fired lasers at the boy with his robotic hands, but he dodged every one of them and hit them when the arms turned green. Once the arms fell off, the chest exploded, revealing a giant laser. It fired at the ground two times, missing Toby every time. Once Toby did the final strike, the robot exploded so loud that everyone can admire it. George came out of the body, looking furious.

"You ruined everything! If it weren't for you, everything would be perfect!" George said angrily.

"George! Put a stop to this now! I'm taking you back to your prison." Toby said.

"You must be joking! You're not taking me anywhere! I'm never going back! I'm never going back to that rotten place! You listen, and you listen good: I will return! And when I do, I'll destroy you and Equestria, so you better be ready, because next time, I WON'T FAIL!!!" George yelled as he summoned a blue orb around him.

"Wait, George!" Toby cried, but it was too late as George disappeared.

"Toby, it's me, Princess Twilight." a voice rang.

"Auntie Twilight?!? I've got to go after George!" Toby pleaded.

"Relax, Toby. I'll teleport you there." Twilight cooed, as she teleported Toby to George's whereabouts.

Toby was flying fast. That's just like flying like his Aunt Rainbow Dash. He saw George trying to escape, but then he landed in a battleship.

"What?" Toby asked himself as he set his destination. When he opened the door and walked inside, he saw George in a Frankenstein outfit, and he was angry.

"Hmm. You still kept up to me? Let's settle this right here, right now!" he shouted.

George flew at a constant rate. Toby ducked every time George came. He was wondering how to defeat his fraud until he saw a switch.

"What does it do?" he thought as he pressed it. A barrel fell out of nowhere, landing next to Toby. He then grabbed and threw it at George's back. George squealed in pain as he flew. Toby dodged him as he smirked smugly.

"Grr!" George growled as he pushed a button, causing electricity to appear in the ground. Luckily for Toby, he stood on a platform before the electricity came. Suddenly, some barrels began to fall on moving platforms, which Toby planned it. He grabbed the barrels, and threw them at the criminal, causing him to be zapped b the electricity.

"Ouch!" George shouted. He pressed a third button, making the platforms move by themselves, and barrels flying in every direction. Toby struck George's chest with a barrel. George seems to have enough of this, so he set the electricity to temporary. Toby dodged all the projectiles and grabbed his projectile to hit George. George got zapped by electricity one more, and he fell to the pit.

"You think you can forget me?" Toby said, as he floated in the pit, following his double.

This was soon a mistake, as Toby found himself floating in space, and gasped for breath. Luckily, Icezer came in, and turned him into his super state.

"Thanks, Icezer." Toby called.

The teen nodded as he disappeared. Suddenly, he saw his evil twin flying off.

"Time to put an end to his schemes!" Toby said, as he speeded up.

Toby flew and dodged around meteors, rockets, bombs, and projectiles George threw on the way. He was eventually collecting some butterflies on the way to keep his super state alive from running out. Toby finally managed to caught up to see George in a reptilian ship. As Toby wondered how to defeat George, a bomb just exploded in front of him.

"Oww! That hurts!" Toby cried, while looking over to his arm, which was stinging a bit. He then got in front of the ship, but got out of the way as a rocket trailed behind him. It missed, but it hit George.

"That gives me an idea!" Toby said, as he repeated his plan. After 6-7 hits, the ship went down, and exploded. Next, George flied out of there with Toby's locket.

"That's mine!" Toby cried, as sped up, while hitting George. He kept this process until George disappeared, and Toby grabbed his locket.

"Finally! I lost this after I got arrested!" Toby exclaimed. Unknown to him, he also teleported somewhere else in space.

Toby managed to arrive where George is. There he is, sitting in his throne.

"So, you finally come, huh? You just won't give up, will you?" George taunted.

"That's right! You're still planning to take over my home, and I won't let that happen!" Toby snapped.

"You are so irritating! I just don't understand you!" George cried.

"What? What do you mean?" Toby asked.

"You have all that power. Why not just use your powers for other things?"

"I'm happy the way I am, thanks! You'll never get me to be in the dark side." the boy answered.

"Wow. What a naïve boy." George commented.

"I heard that!" Toby said, insulted.

"Yeah, yeah, give it a rest. But one more thing."

"What now?" Toby asked.

"How is that unicorn that raised me?" George said.

"What? You mean Trixie, the one that cared for me when I was in jail?" Toby wondered.

"Yeah." George said.

"George, could it actually be that Trixie is your mother?" Toby asked. "I'm sure if you apologize, everything would be alright. Let's go."

"What?!? Why would I? After the way they treated me? I said that I'm never going back! Why would I? I encountered powers and my father would be proud of me. My powers are awesome!" George complained.

"That's not true power. You're just hyped up about escaping. If you knew what's good for you, you'd give up for good. Now do it, and let's go." Toby commanded.

"QUIET!!! I'll prove to you how great my powers are!" George argued.

"Go ahead. But if I beat you, you go back to the slammer."

"HAHAHA! You won't beat me!" George laughed.

"Don't be so sure, George. Here I come!" Toby said with courage as he turned back to his normal self.

The battle begins. George charged a magical bomb and threw it at the boy. Toby jumped and wondered what to do next. Suddenly, his locket began to glow. "Toby," it said.

"Mommy?" Toby asked.

"Use this." Ashley said. She summoned a hammer that fits Toby's palm.

"Time to get battling." he said with power. He hit George by throwing his hammer at his chest.

"Ouch!" he said, and whistled from some help. Changelings appeared and flew in front of the criminal.

"Your target is this!!!" George shouted, pointing at Toby. The Changelings smirked evilly, as they took the form of Toby's friends and family. The Changelings disguised as them walked up to Toby. But Toby was glad to see them.

"Momma? Auntie Twilight? Big sisters? Nathan? Uncle Spike? Everyone? You're all here! I know I said I would do this alone before, but together, we can defeat George!" Toby exclaimed.

But the Changelings didn't reply and instead pinned him down the ground with his arms behind his back.

"What are you doing? You're supposed to be helping me, not him!" Toby called. The Changelings tied him up and covered his mouth with a white cloth.

"Hahaha! This is so much easier than I thought! Now all I have to do is push my button on my watch and everything will explode!" George laughed evilly as he started to slowly push the button. Toby struggled and tried to break free, but the rope was too thick to be broken. He suddenly closed his eyes, and experienced a nightmare. If he didn't stop George in time, his home will be gone and his family will never be seen again! He opened his eyes, and stood up. The Changelings widened their eyes while Toby stood up and broke through the rope and took off the cloth.

"You..." Toby said, while pointing to a disguised Changeling.

"Me?" it said.

Toby grabbed it by the tail and threw it at the others, and they disappeared. He threw his hammer at George, causing him to fall down his throne, and the button landed next to him. Toby was about to deliver justice, but George got up and grabbed the button, which made Toby froze.

"Don't move! One step forward, and your home will be destroyed along with your family!" George yelled.

Toby sweated nervously as he froze. He had one way to stop George, but how can he do it? Suddenly, he had an idea that he knew about months ago.

It was 4 months ago, after Toby saved everyone by his wish.

"Toby, can I ask you something?" Mavis asked.

"What is it?" Toby replied.

"I know Mommy, Daddy, and the rest of our families are back, but I've seem that I should do something for you."

"Mavis, it's OK. Ever since we been all together, we all had special moments that made us a family." Toby said.

"OK. There is something I must give you." Mavis compressed, while giving Toby some magic in his locket. "Nathan taught me some spells when he was training with Mommy and Daddy. Use it if you're ever in a dangerous situation."

"Thank you, Mavis." Toby replied happily.

Suddenly, Toby grabbed his locket. A light gold aura grew bright, and he grew stronger.

"What?!?" George cried. "It can't be!!!"

"And you thought I would fall down to you? Wrong! I've got backup!"

"Darn it! Your friends must have done that for you!" George growled.

"That's right! My friends are always there for me, even if they are not here!" Toby said.

"Ugh! Your friends and family are simple morons!" George complained. "Take this!" George said, while throwing Toby away. A force field appeared around him and he began to run. Toby started to wonder how to defeat George at this rate. Suddenly, the force field exploded, leaving George vulnerable. Toby dashed to George and hit him multiple times with his hammer. George regained the force field, running again. Toby followed him, hitting his force field, and damaged him. After several times, George laid on the ground, feeling unconscious. Toby picked up his fraud and teleported place by place, getting congratulated for defeating George.

'Canterlot Castle, here I come!'Toby thought happily


Back with Toby's family,

Seeing everything, Twilight, Fluttershy, Nathan, Joshua, Nyx, Serenity, Ashley, Mavis, Cory, Timmy, Conner, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, the CMC, Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, and the others saw the battle against George, "He did it!" Discord exclaimed.

"Yes, I did," they all turned to see Toby with an unconscious George Cunningham over his shoulder.

"Excellent work, Toby!" they all turned to see the officers with Bowser in shackles, "Not only have you defeated and apprehended the most dangerous human in existence, but you also helped capture Iron Will's nemesis, the Turtle!" Iron Will said.

"And he can be very hard to catch!" Raiden said.

"Thanks, guys." Toby said, as he turned to the others. "I couldn't have done it without your help."

"No, Toby. It was you that helped us do this. Otherwise, we would have failed. It took a kid to do it. A kid we love to call our friend." Silver Spoon said, as Toby shed some tears of joy while he hugged his girlfriend, as the others joined the hug.

"Is this how it happens every day?" Bowser asked.

"What a weird pony." Lance commented.

"He looks cute in that turtle shell," Greta commented.

"I'm not cute!" Bowser argued, which everyone laughed at. Just then, a shadow appeared, revealing itself to be Shadow Mavis, and she appeared very angry.

"If I can't have my Georgie, then nobody can!" she screamed, as she took out a remaining piece of wood and lunged at Toby and stabbed it at his stomach. Toby screamed in pain as everyone looked in horror. He then fell to the floor, but he was still breathing.

"Toby?" Silver Spoon said softly.

"My stomach!" he cried, as he covered himself.

"Oh, no. Princess Celestia, isn't there something you could do?" Twilight said, as everyone looked at her.

"I will." Princess Celesita replied, as she lowered her horn to Toby. However, his pain didn't heal. She tried again, but it didn't work.

"What's happening?" Joshua asked.

"It seems the wood Shadow Mavis used isn't regular. It was part of George's ship when Toby battled him in space. It's a dark spine scorpion wood. If anyone were struck by this, then..." Celestia explained, but stopped when she realized the effect.

"What is it?" Kelly asked.

"Tell us!" Trinity pressured.

"What's going to happen to my sweetie pie?" Silver Spoon asked, as she held on to Toby.

"...I'm sorry to say this, but there's nothing we could do about it." Celestia sadly replied.

"WHAT?!?!?" everyone else but Toby shouted.

"That pain is incurable. The stab had a sharp turn and hit Toby in the stomach."

Then all of a sudden, Joshua ran to Toby.

"No, no, no. There must be a cure. I can help him!" he stammered, as he used his healing magic on Toby. But it didn't work.

"What about Mommy's magic? She could help, right?" Mavis suggested, before seeing his pony mother shake her head.

"Daddy can't help out either?" Nathan said, as Shining Armor shook his head too.

"But we don't want this to happen to Toby!" Apple Bloom cried.

"This is the most horrible thing indeed!" Rarity cried.

"Please, I don't want my precious little one to go." Fluttershy sobbed, as she held Toby close to him.

"Well, I guess this it." Nathan sadly said. "It was fun while it lasted."

"Yep. We'll miss you, sugarcube." Applejack said, while taking off her hat.

"I'll miss you, cousin." Joshua said, as Nyx hugged her brother, crying into his chest.

As everyone else said their goodbyes to Toby, all seem lost until they heard someone shout "Stop!" They turned to see George running away from the cops, while still pulling to his chain. But George didn't give up and went close to the gang.

"Go away! Haven't you done enough damage already?!?" Cory said in disbelief.

"But I know how to make him cured." George said.

"After what you did to Toby and us?!?" Rainbow Dash argued.

"Enough! It must be done immediately!" George shouted. He then went to Toby and gave him a potion. "Drink this. One of my friends gave this to me. When I'm in danger, I would use this to protect me. But since you are hurt, I guess I should give this up." George opened Toby's mouth, and forced the boy to drink it. Suddenly, the aching pain in Toby's stomach disappeared, and he stood up. Everyone stared in awe.

"Wow. I feel good now!" Toby said.

"Yay!" the kids cheered as they all hugged Toby.

"Thank you for saving my son." Ashley said to George.

"Um, ok?" he meekly replied. Then he turned to Shadow Mavis. "Shadow Mavis, how dare did you do that?!?"

"But I thought you wanted him to die." the girl replied sadly.

"Well, not too crude like this. You're lucky I'm not breaking up with you...yet." George said, before whispering the last part. "Don't feel bad about it. We all make mistakes."

Shadow Mavis then blushed after that comment.

"Well, I guess this is where we part ways," Gilda said to Will and Shade.

"Until the next we meet!" Shade said, as the officers arrested Shadow Mavis and took her, George, and Bowser away.

"It's good to have the real Toby back," Twilight commented, as everyone joined in a group hug for Toby.

"Aw, thanks guys," Toby said. Just then, Celestia had a sneezing fit, "Are you alright Auntie Celestia?" Toby asked.

"I'm fine, its just allergies when the seasons change," Celestia replied, as she sneezed again. But when she did, she fired a blast of magic at Silver Spoon, Twist, and the other fillies, who were engulfed in a ball of light. When the light died down, the others gasped in shock at what had happened to them. They had become alicorns.

"Ah... Ah don't believe it!" Applejack commented.

"You girls have become alicorns!" Rarity added.

"ALICORN PARTY!" Pinkie Pie cried, swinging from a trapeze.

"You girls look like princesses!" Toby commented.

"Celestia, is there a way to undo this transformation?" Twilight asked. The white alicorn began sweating nervously.

"Uh, no," she meekly replied.

"What?!" the eight fillies exclaimed.

"Yeah, I only know how to turn ponies into alicorns, but not how to undo it," Celestia explained.

"Well, look at the bright side. You girls can use magic and fly now," Icezer pointed out. Looking at their new horns and wings, the fillies all nodded in agreement.

"That's him!" they all turned, and Toby's face turned pale when he saw Trixie and the other prison guards, "Arrest that boy!" Trixie ordered, as two griffons cuffed Toby behind the arms.

"Mommy, Momma, Please, help me!" he sobbed, while tears fell down.

"Wait! Why are you arresting him?" Ashley asked.

"For accomplishing the new fourth way to escape prison! Not to mention he never said goodbye. He could get quite the sentence, forty, maybe fifty years," Trixie replied, as she turned to the guards, "Take him away!" she ordered as the guards pushed Toby while he was struggling in his restraints.

"No! Let him go! It wasn't his fault! George tricked you all!" Mavis cried.

"Yeah! Toby's a sweet and innocent kid! Does he REALLY deserve to be locked up? Look at him! Does that look like a face that will survive prison?!?" Cory said.

Trixie looked at Toby, who had puppy dog eyes, tears streaming down his cheeks, and shaking nervously. But Trixie shrugged it off.

"Never mind that! He must come with me!" Trixie argued.

"Don't do it!" Rainbow Dash cried.

"This is madness!" Pinkie stated.

"I don't want my baby to go away from me again!" Fluttershy sobbed.

"Please. Let him come back to us." Nathan pleaded.

"I don't care! Let's go!" Trixie ignored while trotting off, but Serenity stopped her and the guards from taking away her brother.

"Wait!" they all turned towards Serenity, who flinched as they all turned their attention to her, but she swallowed some courage, "Toby, we're so sorry for mistaking that evil human for you! We never really told you how much you mean to us! We always took your kindness for granted. But that'll never happen again, because, if Toby has to go back to jail," Serenity said, holding out her hooves, "You're going to have to take me too," she stated coldly. Everyone gasped at her action.

"Serenity, no," Toby said, as more tears fell.

"Toby, you were the first human friend I made since I came to Equestria! I should've seen the difference when he pretended to be you. So, you'll have to take me too!" Joshua said, holding out his arms.

"Toby, we convinced ourselves that evil human was you. He said he could give us anything we wanted, but what we really wanted," Diamond Tiara started.

"What we really needed," Mike added.

"Was our friend," Silver finished, as they all held out their arms and hooves. Seeing this fierce determination, Trixie turned to Toby.

"It appears you were right Toby. You do have a family that needs you, more than ever. You're free to go, forever!" Trixie said, as the guards released Toby, who quickly ran back to his family with tears of joy running, who were relieved to see he was free. He hugged Fluttershy, who returned it.

"Oh, Momma. I missed you and Mommy with my family so much!" Toby said happily.

"Momma and Mommy and the others missed you, too!" Fluttershy replied, as the family gave Toby another group hug.

"By the way Toby, how did you escape the prison?" Applejack asked.

"We had a talent show, and I had a little help from Auntie Pinkie Pie and the rest of my friends," Toby replied.

"There was seriously a talent show?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Yep. It was either that or they riot," Toby replied.

"Well, I would like to see some sort of entertainment," Luna commented.

"And I really should finish up the show properly," Toby added.

"But what about Ponyville?" Clover asked.

"Don't worry, I'll have that all situated while you guys go see the show," Discord said, as he, Eris, and Francisco teleported away.

"Alright, while they're doing that, I guess we'll head up to the prison," Twilight commented, as the family went to pack their things.
