[FIXED] Episode 11: Save By The Hood.

You immediately start coughing blood from screaming, you think you might have broken....well, everything.
You stare in horror as the five mares slowly approach you. You attempt to stand up only to immediately collapse to the ground.

"-COOOOOR-*COUGH HACK COUGH*"

Your screaming ends when you start to cough up blood (green, slimy, changeling blood, but blood none the less) and collapse. Fluttershy puts her hooves on you supportably as Nightshade hugs you with worry ("Daddy..."). You finally stop coughing a few seconds later and you can't help but think painfully,

It feels like I broke every bone in my body... and all my muscles... and my splee- Owwwwwww.

You stop your pained thoughts as you notice the Deadly Five coming your way. You stare in horror as they start to get closer and closer with evil (well... evil to you at least) intents. You think in horror,

Oh no... Gotta run!

With that thought in mind you try to get up to make a run for it, but as soon as you try you scream out in pain and collapse again. You cough up some more blood as you see the Deadly Five getting even closer. All you can do is close your eyes and wait for the in-

"HOLD IT!"

Fluttershy and Nightshade try and fail to talk the other five down.
F: But girls, we just saw him help us defeat Discord!
T: It's just his changeling mind control magic Fluttershy, he was helping Discord, look at all the destruction they caused together!
N: My Daddy just helped you!
AJ: Get out of the way little filly, you're just confused
You: OH COME ON!
T: Fluttershy, the Elements won't work without you, so please...
F: NO! I WON'T HELP YOU HURT HOODY!
RD: She's under his spell, we gotta take him down fast (starts pounding her hooves together)

Well it seems we're back to square one with these crazy mares. Your first instinct would be to run like mad. But it seems as though all you legs are broken right now (did I mention ouch!?). At least Fluttershy seems to be on your side still. You try to snap them out of it, or at least stall for time.
"Wait please! I'm sorry! I did some nasty stuff to you in the past, but I made up for it, remember?" You yell out through bouts of coughing up blood "What about when I saved you all from the dragon? At the Gala! I nearly died holding off a god of chaos so you could deal the finishing blow! Don't you remember any of it? What did Discord do to you just now?!"

You open your eyes in surprise and look up painfully from your collapsed position to see both Fluttershy and Nightshade in front of you with their hooves spread apart, shielding you from the Deadly Five. You can't see that well from your collapsed position, but judging from the Deadly Five's faces, Fluttershy must be giving them "The Stare". Fluttershy says in a angry tone,

"Girls! What is the matter with you?! We just saw him help us defeat Discord!"

Twilight just gives Fluttershy a weird look before saying,

"It's just his changeling mind control magic Fluttershy, he was helping Discord! Look at all the destruction they caused together!"

You somehow managed to snort in disbelief before coughing up more blood. Fluttershy notices this and says,

"Can't you see the poor things hurt and needs help?!"

"That's his own fault for deciding to turn on Discord."

Turning on Discord? What does she mean by- *COUGH*

Nightshade looks at you worriedly as you cough up more blood before looking back at the mares and saying,

"My Daddy just helped you! He was like Darth Invader at the end of Star Wars!"

Your vision started to go fuzzy after your last coughing fit, but you hear a loud groan after Nightshade made that reference. You give a pained smirk as you think,

That's my girl...

You then hear Applejack say,

"Get out of the way little critter, you're just confused. That ain't yo daddy, that's a no good varmint!"

You would have growled in anger or gave a snarky remark if it weren't for the fact that you couldn't feel your jaw. You hear Twilight say,

"Fluttershy, the Elements won't work without you, so please-"

"NO! I WON'T HELP YOU HURT HOODY!"

You can barely hear what Rainbow said next, but you have a pretty good idea considering she just pounded her hooves together. You're pretty sure that your hearing is going and that you're about to lose consciousness when...

The DFV tries to give as much magical power as possible to get your body to move, but it BURNED!

DFV offers to take over, but you firmly reject her offer after her behavior in the battle with Discord.

You hear the one voice you really don't want to hear right now,

Let me take over. You're hurt and weak. All it would take is a quick whip of my tails and-

No! You're not taking over again! You almost killed innocent ponies several times now. You're staying in my head and you're never coming out! I've rather be turned to stone then let you take over.

There's a moment of silence before the DFV says,

Fine... but since your gonna be my eternal friend, I'm healing you whether you desire it or not! And you're about to see why "not"...

What do you-"AHHHHHHHHH!"

Suddenly a burning pain shoots through your body as if your body is being melted in lave after being set on fire. After a few moments of Tartarus you begin to notice your sight, hearing, and touch returning. Apparently you were screaming bloody murder the whole time as you see Fluttershy and Nightshade holding you in worry and shouting words of concern ("DADDY!", "Hang on Hoody! I'm right here!") while the Deadly Five are just giving disturbed looks. After what seems like ages, the burning pain finally subsides. You breath heavily from the pain as you slowly start to get up with Nightshade and Fluttershy's help. When you finally get up, you lean on Fluttershy for support as you think,

Okay... Can see and hear again. Can feel my jaw so that's good. Can barely stand... I can work with that.

After your done thinking that you say,

"First of all, I would like to say I have a new found respect for anyling who has melted or been killed by fire or lava in movies, especially the T1000 from Termarenator. Secondly.."

You give a cold glare to the Deadly Five before saying,

"You mares just got on my traitor list, and that is a list you don't want to be on. Cause trust me... there's nothing I hate more than ungrateful, backstabbing, traitors."

It's true, ever since the whole Trixie incident, you've had a HUGE loathing for traitors ever since.

The Deadly Five seem taken back from your statement, before Twilight says,

"How did we betray you? You've never done anything to gain our trust, much less make us team up with you."

Your eye twitches in annoyance as you say,

"Didn't do anything to gain our trust you say? What about when I saved you all from the dragon? Or when I pulled a Golem at the Grand Galloping Gala! Or how about when I nearly died holding off a god of chaos so you could deal the finishing blow. What about when you'd given up on everyone, Twilight?! Despite everything you ever did to me, I helped you recover! I helped you save your friends from Discord's magic! Don't you remember any of it?"

The Deadly Five all give you strange looks before Twilight says,

"None of that ever happened."

You feel your jaw hit the ground as you stare at her in shock before you yell,

"WHAT!"

Twilight nods her head angry before she says...

They proceed to dismiss everything you tell them about you helping them, their minds firmly locked on taking you out.

The mares say what the new memory is in a series of accusations which include:
-Restructured memories of the Grand Galloping Gala rampage which include:
---Emasculating Prince Blueblood
---Only 1 tail coming out
---Being driven off by Celestia and the Mares
---Twilight saving everyone from the collapsing Gala
-Stealing 40 more cakes
-Releasing Discord and teaming up with him
-Attacking the mares at the library in an attempt to keep them from the elements
-Almost crushing Daisy, Rose, and Lily (the trio of Earth Ponies with the flower Cutie Marks)

"Yes, none of what you said ever happened. All you did at the Gala was destroy it and ruin any chances of Blueblood walking or having foals (you see Rarity mouth "Thank Celestia" when Twilight said that)."

Rainbow nods her head at what Twilight said as she adds,

"Yeah, you ran away like a little filly after Celestia and the rest of us fought your one-tailed flank off and Twilight had to teleport everypony out before the Gala roof collapsed from when you mind-controlled Trixie into doing more damage and it was your mind-control that tore us apart in the first place! You blinded us and made us only see the worst aspects of each other!"!"

Applejack adds,

"Then y'all released Discord, teamed up with him, attacked us so that we couldn't get the elements, and almost crushed Daisy, Rose, and Lily when you turned on him!"

She points over to three knocked out mares that the DFV almost crushed with those boulders. Pinkie then suddenly starts jumping up and down with smoke coming out of her ears as she screams,

"AND YOU STOLE 40 MORE CAKES, AND THAT'S JUST SUPER DUPER TERRIBLE!"

The mares then nod their head at the same time at Pinkie's statement and you can't help but think in anger,

If Discord ever gets released again... *snap* then he'd better watch his back...

After that angry thought you all here a distant voice call out,

"HALT!"

Then you all notice a green figure running towards you. When that figure gets close you realize that's it's...

Just then Lyra and Bon Bon show up, the latter being dragged by the former's tail. "Neither will we!" Lyra puts on a black hoodie and pulls the hood up over her face "The hood always got our back, and now we got the hood's!"

Lyra! And she's dragging Bon Bon with her! When she gets in front of you she pulls out a cloak, puts it on (so does Bon Bon), throws the hood up, and declares,

"The hood always got our back, and now we got the hood's!"

And with that she sucks up a huge amount of air and screams...

"HORDE ASSEMBLE!"

The next thing you know...

With that you hear a war cry.
FOR THE HORDE!!!!
A group of more than fifty ponies rush in front of you and Night Shade, all of them dressed as the Hooded Offender. One of them begins to speak.
Horde Member: You dare threaten the Hooded Offender? He who helped you win and save our lives this day? The greatest hero Equestria has ever known?
Twilight: You remember it wrong, he helped Discord!
A thin little cloaked figure, slightly hovering off the ground pulls out a camera and says
"I actually have evidence to the contrary!"
Horde Member: Correct! The wool has been pulled over your eyes, blinding you from the truth Element Bearers
Horde Member: Leave him be you misguided fools
You: OK, i appreciate you all helping me and everything, but can we stop the Holier than Though way of speaking?
Horde Member (Lyra) we thought it would sound cool and professional
You: It just sounds pompous to me
Horde Member (Lyra): Alright fine, leave the Hooded Offender alone you jerks, or we'll make you sorry
The HORDE: YEAH!!!
The Deadly five are all very unnerved by this

You hear a war cry,

"FOR THE HORDE!"

Suddenly, a group of at least twenty ponies (you can't really tell exactly) rush in front of you and Nightshade. All of them are wearing replica Hooded Offender cloaks, ranging from small to large ponies. One of them hooves a cloak to Fluttershy, who nods her head in thanks before she puts the cloak on (somehow doing so while still supporting your wobbly form). As she pulls up her hood, you hear one of the Horde (who sounds a awful lot like Berry) say

"You dare threaten the Hooded Offender? *hic* He who helped you win and save our lives this day? *hic* The greatest hero Equestria has ever known?"

Twilight (and the rest of the mares) are taken aback from the sudden appearance of the Horde, but she snaps out of it and says,

"You remember it wrong, he helped Discord!"

One of the horde members says,

"The wool has been pulled over your eyes, blinding you from the truth, Elements!"

"Can't you ponies see that this ruffian is using his mind control abilities on you?!" Rarity says.

Another Horde member speaks up,

"Cease your unjust harassment of him you misguided fools!"

Deciding that you've had enough of this fancy talk, you say.

"OK, I appreciate you all helping me and everything, but can we stop with the "Holier than Thou" way of speaking?"

One of the Horde members (who you think is Lyra since she's standing where you last saw her) says,

"But we thought it would sound all cool and professional."

You shake your head and say,

"Nah it just sounds as pompous as Tacky McStabby Flank over there."

"Why I never..." Rarity protests as some of the Horde chuckle at the nickname you gave her.

The Horde member who you think is Lyra sighs before she turns back towards the mares and says,

"Alright fine... Leave the Hooded Offender alone you jerks, or we'll make you sorry. Horde! What is our vow?!"

All the Horde suddenly chant,

"The blackest night falls from the skies,
The darkness grows, as all light dies,
And heal the deepest wounds of hate,
Let no one else decide your fate,
Let those who fear where we once stood,
Beware the power... of our hood!"

The Deadly Five all look unnerved by this (besides Pinkie who you swear is whispering "Hooded party" over and over again) s you think,

They even have a kickflank creed?! So... Awesome... (Rainbow Dash sneezes and mutters, "Somepony's stealing one of my lines!")

When it looks like the situation is going to escalate into a full-on melee, you hear...

"Run for it hero. We got this!" one of your fans yells as Twilight and her friends start trying to shave their way through the crowd to get to you.
You feel Nightshade dragging your battered form to safety as your mob of fans yell out in your honor "WE ARE THE DISTRACTION! WE ARE HIS MEAT-SHIELD! THERE ARE MANY OF US AND WE ARE HIS! YOU! SHALL NOT! PASS!

Escape to the TARDIS with the help of the Horde (who Twilight assumes are all under mind control)

Fluttershy whispers to you: Hoody, when the distraction happens, hold onto my hoof and don't let go.
You nod as your cloak returns and you put Night Shade in the Satchel.
Fluttershy then shouts: NOW!!!

As you are thinking if they could get pity of you, you listen a strange sound and watch a strange blue box that appear from nowhere and The Doctor exit from here and offer you a hoof
"Take my hoof if you want to survive!"

The most beautiful sound in Equestria. You (and everyling else in the area) look over to see the TARDIS phasing into existence. When it finally lands, the door opens and you see the Doctor who waves his hoof at you and says,

"Come with me if you want to live! *chuckles* I've always wanted to say that..."

One of the Horde, (you think it's Fluttershy) whispers to you,

"Hoody, when the distraction happens, hold onto my hoof and don't let go."

You nod your head as you guide Nightshade into The Inventory. Then Fluttershy gives a high pitched series of whistles. Suddenly you feel her start to drag you towards the TARDIS as the Horde charges the Deadly Five while shouting,

"WE ARE THE DISTRACTION! WE ARE HIS MEAT-SHIELD! THERE ARE MANY OF US AND WE ARE HIS! YOU! SHALL NOT! PASS!"

You feel tears of stallion pride fall down your face as you think,

Oh... so much pride. I really hope none of them get sent to the dungeon after this... also I hope none of them start a wa-I should probably start running now.

When you and Fluttershy reach the TARDIS doors, you look back and see the melee of the Deadly Five trying to get past the small crowd Horde members. Most notable is seeing two fillies in a small black hoods (who you assume to be Berry Punch's daughter she mentioned and introduced you to and Sweetie Belle) grabbing onto Pinkie's head and you also hear Twilight call out,

"Don't hurt them girls! They're innocent ponies caught in the Offender's mind control!"

"Again with that mind control nonsense..." you mutter in annoyance before you notice Derpy (also wearing a hooded coat) and Fluttershy trying to get your attention. As Derpy pulls you into the TARDIS, Fluttershy whispers to you,

"Good luck Hoody."

And with that the TARDIS doors close and the TARDIS disappears...

ON THE TARDIS FIVE MINUTES (OR POSSIBLY CENTURIES (IT IS A TIME MACHINE AFTER ALL)) LATER

You escape the bedlam of Ponyville into the (hopeful) safety of the TARDIS. Derpy and The Doctor are glad to see you safe, but you just collapse on the spot, panting for breath. You take off your cloak and send Nightshade to her room to rest before you talk with the other two.
"Doc... we... are... so... done! I think you owe me for all that."
"What?" He looks genuinely confused. "What are you talking about? My boy, you missed our meeting."
"You told me to go to that hallway! With the glass! Then Discord showed up, did... uh, he did Discord stuff, and I helped stop him for you. Debt paid."
Derpy blinks. "Bugze, Discord wasn't the threat."
"...Pardon?"
The Doctor chuckles. "Rest assured, the universe is in great peril and we certainly intend on using you to save it--"
"USING me?!"
"--but that Dicord chap threw off the flow of time with all his shenanigans. The terrible, horrible, disaster has only been postponed."
You hold your head and cry. "I just stood toe-to-toe with a god of chaos! What else do I have to do?"
Derpy glares at you. "You still have your time-out mister!"
"That's not what I meant! How am I supposed to stop a disaster that threatens the entire universe?"
The Doctor hands you a banana. "You'll need this."
You slowly reach out and take it. "Brilliant, Doc. When the disaster comes, I'll just throw a banana at it."
"What? No! How in the name of the space-time continuum are you going to stop a disaster with a banana? That's for the little one. We saw how she eats when she was here. When was the last time she had any potassium?"
You stick the banana into the inventory. "Okay, I'm sure she'll like it. But you still haven't answered my question. How am I supposed to stop this disaster?"
The Doctor hands you a boomerang. "With this."
As soon as you touch it, You hold it over your head, and it somehow floats on its own.
When the inexplicable anti-gravitational anamoly ends, you are left with a familiar question. "What do I do? How do I even use this thing?"
Derpy laughs. "Does anypony know how to use them? Just practice really hard."
"Quite right," The Doctor says. "And I'm afraid this is your stop. We'll be in touch." The door opens, and The Doctor shoves you out to encounter the next worst moment of your life.

You have finally regained your full strength after being in the TARDIS for a few minutes (or years... or centuries... it's the TARDIS, give it a break). So, you decide to confront the Doctor on your debt to him.

"Doc... we are so done! I think you owe me for all that!"

"What?"

He looks genuinely confused.

"What are you talking about? My boy, you missed our meeting."

"You told me to go to that hallway! With the glass! Then Discord showed up, did... uh, he did Discord stuff, and I helped stop him for you. Debt paid."

Derpy (who has already put away her hooded coat) blinks before saying, "Bugze, Discord wasn't the threat."

You look at her blankly and when your mind finishes rebooting you say,

"...Pardon?"

The Doctor chuckles.

"Rest assured, the universe is in great peril and we certainly intend on using you to save it-"

"USING me?!"

"--but that Dicord chap threw off the flow of time with all his shenanigans. The terrible, horrible, disaster has only been postponed."

You hold your head in frustration and cry.

"I just stood toe-to-toe with a god of motherbucking chaos! What else do I have to bucking do?!"

Derpy glares at you.

"Watch your language! You still have your time-out mister!"

"That's not what I meant! How am I supposed to stop a disaster that threatens the entire universe?"

The Doctor hands you a banana.

"You'll need this."

You slowly reach out and take it before snarking,

"Brilliant, Doc! When the disaster comes, I'll just throw the banana and hope he slips on it!"

"What? No! How in the name of the space-time continuum are you going to stop a disaster with a banana? That's for the little one. We saw how she eats when she was last here (took me 4 centuries to replenish my Jelly Baby supply). When was the last time she had any potassium?"

You stick the banana into the inventory and say,

"Okay, I'm sure she'll like it. But you still haven't answered my question. How am I supposed to stop this disaster?"

The Doctor hands you a... Luna Plushie?

"With this."

As soon as you touch it, You hold it over your head, and it somehow floats on its own.

When the inexplicable anti-gravitational anomaly ends, you are left with a familiar question.

"What do I do? Why do I even need this? Why do you even have this?"

Derpy laughs,

"It's a plushie to cuddle with silly"

The Doctor nods his head and says,

"Oh and Bugze, to pay off your debt to me, it's quite simple really. You are to stay in Ponyville for the next year and are to report to me any unusual things or events with this."

He hooves you a TARDIS blue notebook and pen.

"Now before you ask, this is an inter-dimensional notebook and pen, it will allow you to send me a message onto my psychic paper."

You nod your head dumbly as you put the items into The Inventory.

Acquired "Banana", "Luna Plushie", "TARDIS-blue Pen", and "Inter-Dimensional Notebook"

The Doctor then hoofs you a white panama hat with a paisley hat band, a face mask, a billowing tan overcoat, and a pair of yellow-and-black striped pants. You look at them confused as the Doctor says,

"Here, since I know your disguise spell is terrible, this will help you hide out in Ponyville. Now put them on lad!"

You nod your head as you change out of you awesome black hooded coat and into the clothes. The Doctor looks you up and down and says,

"Dashing Bugze, you look swell now. Oh, and you'll also need this,"

He then hands you a Doctor's Note (which says that you have a "condition" that requires your hooves and lower face to be covered) before he pushes you in front of the TARDIS doors as he says,

"And I'm afraid this is your stop. We'll be in touch."

The door opens, and The Doctor shoves you out of the TARDIS and into...

A purple earth pony, with green eyes and light pink and dark pink striped mane. You stare awkwardly at each other for a few moments before saying...

"Um... hi?"

What do you do?

Author's Note:

Hey Hive Mind, DWC here.

Yesterday's question answer is...

One villain that was defeated... There are soo much, maybe the Emperor Dalek from Doctor Who

Congrats to Kichi for giving this suggestion. I agree cause when I saw the Emperor Dalek go out, my jaw hit the floor and it stayed there the whole time.

Today's question is...

What is the saddest death of a beloved TV character?

From most hated to the most loved, what was the saddest death you ever saw...BYE!
