Equestrian Background

Ever since the monumental defeat of the feared ruler of the race of changelings known as Queen Chrysalis, the ponies of that time once more celebrated the return of the one and true Princess Cadence for not only the sake of her safety and condition but to rejoice for the marriage to the royal guard Captain turned Prince Shining Armour.

From that point, things began to advance.

In 2013 of May 25th, exactly 1 year, 1 month and 4 days since the catastrophe, the former fuel-driven steam train was remodelled into a newer, more energy-efficient 'electric' train. This locomotive would open the flood gates to an entirely new way of transport and technology.

Only 7 months later the 'escalator' would burst into the scene, allowing ponies to climb entire flights of stairs with relative ease. Many would object to its creation, but ultimately, it would continue its service.

And the public spectator sports frenzy, the International Federation of Hoofball or just 'Hoofball', was born in 2014 and held it's first-ever inter-state competition in 2018 when it began to pick up more and more popularity, going as far as give the Equestria games a run for their money. The 1st place winner of the before mentioned competition went to 'The Chrystal Palace', barely taking home the silverware with a 4-5 penalty shootout against Canterlot.

From the years and years of development, more and more major cities being built, all of which ranged with a multitude of different cultures, races and species.
And for the first time in a good while, progress for the nation was going nowhere but up.


オラオラオラオラ


"This is the P2P service going through -London-.We are now approaching -Trottenham-. This is the final stop. Thank you for using the P2P travel service."

"Look alive girls...! We're almost at our stop!" Pinkie pie chirped with a pleased smile shining across her face. "Ooooooh! I can't wait! Can't wait can't wait can't wait. Can. Not. Waaaait~~!" The hyperactive ball of a pony was buzzing (or rather jumping in her seat at near mach speeds) as she repeated the same thing for, like, the 30th time (the rest of the gang lost count after 19).
"Yeah... Can't wait to see more of this 'enriching' city..." Rainbow grumbled in her seat, reflecting herself as Pinkies' polar opposite.
"Oh c'mon Rainbow...! At least we're out and about doing something productive as friends. Beats the ol' occasional monster attack if you ask me." Twilight turned to chime in after her 30-minute long window starring session.
"Is that so...? Twi, I'm gonna have to level with you, this place just isn't as good as it's made out to be. It's not bad, just underwhelming. I mean, the place looks older than Celestia herself, people here don't act as remotely polite as you'd expect them to be and the kids here are just downright rude. Like seriously, one of them thought they were 'cool' coming up to just to call me a 'Nonce', whatever that it..."
"She has a point y'know..." Applejack claimed, "Those lil' gremlins had the audacity to slap my flank and laugh about it...! Then when ah chase their flanks to high heaven an' back, they go an' tell their ma's about how they bein' *bullied* an then I, the Element of *Honesty*, get an earful about how I 'sHoUlD kNoW bEtTeR'! And that alone reeeeally pisses me off."

"I have to agree with Applejack... They're just too... unpleasant." Fluttershy included making it three v one.

"*Sigh* Alright, alright...! Maybe things here aren't... well... good, I guess, but this is one of the only breaks we get where we can all go out together and have fun. And, by Faust, I'm not about to give up my day to a few mishaps...!"

"Not what you expected, eh?"

The current conversation diffused in an instant as all heads were drawn to an above-average, tall, lean and Orange stallion. Though his intrusion wasn't what was so peculiar about the young lad. But instead, was more rather his fashion sense or lack thereof. All around him were cartoonishly large bandaids. Yes. Bandaids.
From his hoof to flank to torso, even up to his snout, he wore large and possibly unnecessary bandaids attached to his being that obscured a good chunk of him. He seemed rougher and more chiselled than the average stallion, not the kind of guy you'd want to mess with if you liked your face intact. Yet he bore a smile that reeked of innocence if anything.
Oh, and a flat cap, he wore that with his pale brown mane...
And what made this already crazy situation even more bizarre, he somehow managed to it pull off and make it look cool.

"You must be new here...!" The lad said with an understanding smile, deciding to break the ice. "I'm Jolt Jo Star, a resident of Trottenham and proud citizen of Lundun...! But you can just call me 'Jo' or 'Jojo'."
The silence lived on for a while longer...

じーーーーーっ

"...Is everything alright?" Jolt concernedly asked.
"O-oh..! Nonono! Sorry, we were just a little... distracted." Twilight burst out, a little red from embarrassment. "Allow me to introduce myself: I'm--"
"Twilight Sparkle, Princess of Friendship and Element of Magic...! And you girls are Applejack, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie pie and- hey, where's Rarity?" He called out and pointed to accordingly.
"A-ah, right...
Well, Rarity, she's just set up her brand 'fashion and beauty' in this city, we were just visiting here to check it out."
"I see, how wonderful...!" He clapped his hooves in delight, "I must say, getting to meet the likes of you lot is a real honour...! I've been a huge fan of you lot for years now and, honestly, I'm glad Equestria has mares like you protecting the land."

"Yeah yeah, I know we're awesome. Now let me ask you something, kid." Dash interrupted, eyeing him up and down, "What's with all... that?" She circled her hoof around where his bandaids were. "You got some battle scars or something?"
He checked himself over, returning a perplexed look when finding nothing wrong, "Excuse you?"
"Um... Those bandaids. Why do you have them?"
"What bandaids?"
Rainbow dash gave a confused look of her own. Is he... playing dumb? is what she thought.
"You're kidding, right?" She got out of her seat and slowly closed the gap between them. This only prompted Jojo to back away from her and look immensely uneasy as she picked up the pace until he finally hit a wall. Rainbow suspiciously squinted up at the now profusely sweating stallion, jabbing a hoof to his 'clothes', "This... Why. are. you. wearing. this?" She abbreviated so that Jojo couldn't possibly have a chance of mishearing.
"Alright Dash, cut it out. You're making him uncomfortable." Twilight attempted to intervene, only to have her words fall deaf on her ears as Rainbow refused to let up.
"Well?"
Jojo avoided eye contact and went a tad red, "E-errrrrr... I... I'd rather not say..." He muttered, trying to find his way around and away from the curious cyan mare, only getting body blocked at every end. "Seriously Rainbow! Just leave him alone..!"
Dash huffed and turned back to Twilight.
"Relax Twi...! I'm not gonna hurt him or anything. All I want to know is why you coved in these oversized bandaids, is that just too personal to ask?"

"[Moonlight Lady]...!"

Rainbow snapped her head right back to Jolt. "What was that?"

Jojo wore a steely, concentrated mask as he pointed past her, the train coincidently starting to moderately lose speed.
"...I said, 'we've arrived at our stop'."
Rainbow as well as the others, snapping out of focus, turned back around to where his hoof lead. Looking out and finding that the train had, indeed, began to stop. Jojo drew his hoof back.

"Uh-huh... Whatever, we still have a ton of time to-"
He had vanished. Out of sight and nowhere to be seen. Leaving the girls stunned while Dashs' jaw dropped halfway to the floor.
"But-? Where did he-? How in the-?? Huh?!" She could only stutter as she scanned the carriage to only reconfirm that Jojo was, for absolute certain, gone. The gang lingered a little longer in confusion, but the time of day is limited, and the train would wait for no one.


無駄無駄無駄


My name is Jolt Jo Star, aged 19, as you already know.
I was born and raised solely in Lundun, but have moved around from time to time. My best and only friend is my father, a bit sad looking back at it but who the hell cares...
He's the best dad, hands down. I honestly have a mad amount of respect for him and hope to one day pay it back. Cooking the best food, working his ass off to make said food,
...always listening to me when I have to vent. He's amazing.
My mother... well... I'm not too sure about her. Maybe she could've been a great person to know if she actually...

...

I've never had any friends growing up, except dad, and I've kinda got used to it. I mean, all the friends I have had were basically fake. I could never get a meaningful convo out of anyone though... I just don't get some ponies I guess...
But even then. It just doesn't feel right talking to them...

...Can't believe I got to meet the Mane 6...! A lot different than how I first imagined them. They didn't really talk too much to me either... Being a group powered by friendship itself has to give you some communicating skills or charisma, right? No... That has to be overthinking it. Am I just uninteresting to talk to?

...Whatever...

Do they...?
Are they Married...?-
Annnnnnnd I'm just gonna stop myself there! Faust! I have way too much time to think...!

Jojo thought on and on as he navigated the pony clattered streets of Trottenham. It was just another ho-hum day of life for the patched lad. Wake up. Go out. Do stuff. Come back. Eat. Melt away in bed once more... Plus the spice of odd looks he got for his wardrobe.
Nothing much adieu...

Jojo made a left turn into the doors of his local barber, gaining glances from all ponies before all briefly turned back to business. He was a regular in these parts.
He plopped himself onto a waiting sofa next to worn-out mother answering the many, many queries of her son. Jo smiled, seeing himself reflected within the young lad as nostalgia flowed from old memories. But before he could cast yet another stare war with the floor, a barber near a free chair beckoned him over.

'Me? Already?' Jojo signalled over, to which the barber replied with a definitive nod.
Jolt hesitantly obeyed, looking back to the roes of patient ponies, pegasi and Gryphons alike.
"Have a seat."
"Scissors. You don't have to do this y'know... I'm fine with waiting."
"I insist. Besides, you're birthday just passed, didn't it? I never got you anything, so, here. On me this time."
Jojo rubbed the back of his head as he gushed. "That was, like, a week ago. It's honestly fine, man. Go pick someone else..."
He only got about half a meter away before being dragged back into his chair by hoof. "D'oh come on...! Quit being so stubborn and relax...! Trust me, sometimes, ya just need to treat yourself."
"But there are-"
"Ah-ah! No buts. I'm gonna give you a nice trim for free and you're gonna take it. Geez... Honestly, kid, you're too courteous for your own good...! Now lemme guess, same as last time?"
"Heh heh... *sigh* Yeah, the same thing. 2 on top and 1 on the side."
Scissors raised an understanding hoof. "Say no more."

---

"... And be sure to send yer dad my regards...!"
Jojo waved the barber off with a smile as he exited, continuing his route with a fresh trim covered only by his brown flat cap. And with that social scenario over, it was Jojo's train of thought that once again kicked it to keep him company.
Till something else caught his attention.

"Back off, wankers! You 'ear me? I'll slit her throat, I promise...!"

In the foreseeable distance, a petty crime raged on. A potential knife crime to be clear... A little fillie was bawling her eyes out by a less than pleasant stallion that held a clean blade yet to be stained. Officers, as well as mass witnesses, surrounded the perp, keeping a negotiable distance.

"Listen to m- LISTEN TO ME! I'M the one in charge here! And I order for you lot to fuck off...! Right now!"

One officer stepped forward.

"Yes, yes. OK. Just calm down sir... We don't want anyone getting hurt, so just state any demands and we'll meet them if the girl is released..."

"Heh! Heheheh! Demands, eh? I only have one..."

"Alright... What is it-" That Officer was shot in the back of the head by a green beam. Knocking him unconscious, maybe even killing him cold.
The garnered crowd either gasped, shrieked or backed off, as a green aura enveloped the perp as well as the other members of 'Police'. "So, this is the girl right? The one who saw us?"
The perp nodded with affirmation. "Yup. This is the one. What do we do with her?"
"Bring her back. We can't be staying out here for much longer..."

"Ahem. Gentlecolts...?" The group averted their attention.
Jojo, through the thick crowd, emerged. Approaching the backstabbing Officers.

"...Might I ask, where the hell do you lot think you're going...?"
They gave no answers, let alone even dare to respond. With 'What the hell is he wearing' being the subject of each glance they gave each other. After, they concluded that this stallion was nothing more than 'an idiot with a death wish', as they silently coordinated into a circle, preparing to grant it.

Jojo's faced hardened, prepping himself with newfound hate, "Not the sociable type huh...? Figures. With your hooves being full and all..." With this said and done, Jolt reached over his shoulder, carefully peeling open one of his bandaids and slowly reached for something inside. Never taking his eyes off his opponents.

All of the foreheads of all of the perps began to shift and mould, forming what could distinctly be recognised as a dark, green glowing 'horn' with swiss cheese holes. Horns only belonging to one species of pony...
Taking a stance, the group prepared to open fire. Then again, they had no idea what Jojo would pull from his pockets...

And they were right to think that.


A mug.
Jojo pulled out a cheap, custom mug with a Portuguese flag on its base out of his bandaid and held it in front of him like a weapon.
Needless to say, most of the spectators were well within' their right to be blatantly surprised, utterly confused or just face hoof.

"Go on. Take a shot...
Make.
My.
Day..."

With the initial shock now well over, the perp right behind him fired away.

"ORAAHH!!"
The mug flash banged a bright pink colour and, within a milli-seconds notice and speed, Jojo turned around and slapped away the projectile into nothingness.
The rest of the criminals, now truly flabbergasted by the bizarre turn of events, began to step back a little. While Jojo basked in a thick pink arua and a triumphant smile to go with it as he held his pose.
"Surprised, I see. Don't worry though, that energy you sent my way will be put to great use while kicking your flanks asunder. That is one of the many abilities of my [Moonlight lady], after all."

They had no idea what he talking about.
They had no idea who he was, posing so menacingly.
All they knew was that running may have been the superior option in this turnabout.
And they would've been miles away, only stopped by one thing.
Their hooves were stuck knee-deep in the concrete sidewalk.
"What in the-!?" Was what one of them barely had time to say before they witnessed Jojo lifting his mug high into the air, with a sinister smile signifying that he'd enjoy what came next.

"Say! Would you like to know what happens when you convert all the magic required to kill a pony into pure kinetic energy and send it straight into the ground?! No need to answer! I'll show you and send you basterds directly to hell itself!!
Bye-bye, buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-BII~~~~~TCH!"

With a single swing, Jojo sent the mug straight into the floor, in turn, causing the ground beneath him to utterly sink into a crater of rubble and debris, crushing himself and the criminals all at once.
Thing is about 15 meters away from the crater everypony crowded around, Jojo emerged from the beneath the floor and floated on the concrete as if it were plain water, gasping for air.
Finally, he got out of the 'water', dusted himself off and continued on his merry way.

Whew... I think I might've overworked myself on that one... What was the deal with those guys anyway? I mean, they didn't act like ordinary thugs. They just seemed too... coordinated. Bah, whatever. What's done is done. I come in, I kick ass; I leave.
Come to think of it, I feel like something's missing...
Oh! Right! The hostage...! Those guys were holding onto the poor girl the whole time. *sigh* Hope she's ok now.


Wait a minute...?

...

.....

........

"OH SHIT!"

And just like that, Jojo dived right back into the ground.
