Jason Voorhees is brought into Equestria after King Sombra tries to take control of him. The two are now in a war with each other.
King Sombra has returned. This time with a vengeance. He has a problem however, his magic isn't at its best and it'll be a while before it is fully charged. In desperation, Sombra enlists the help of Queen Chrysalis, who tells him to bring forth an immortal soldier. While Sombra conjures this soldier, he finds out his name. Jason Voorhees. In an attempt to take control of Jason, Sombra stumbles into his memories and fears, making the revenant out for the kings blood. Jason now wants to find Sombra and kill him, no matter who or what gets in his way.
He was alive. Not sure how it came to be, but he was alive. A black cloud formed into a tornado swirl. Red and green eyes starting to appear in the swirl. The smoke then started to form into a body. The body was tall muscular arms and chest. The cloud then started to evaporate and the body collapsed to his knees. Coughing up a strange liquid and holding his neck. He looked around, he was in a dark room with a light coming from above him. The dark stallion looked himself over, he was wearing silver armor on his arms and legs with a silver chest plate. He didn't know why he was alive. Last thing he remembered was being killed by a blinding light. He reached above his head to feel a horn at the top. Smiling slightly, he concentrated and a red aura surrounded his horn. Just as soon as it appeared, a crackle was heard and the magic around the horn disappeared. His eyes grew wide with look of shock on his face. He wasn't at his full strength is what he figured.
"This...is a complication." he growled.
He lifted himself off his knees and onto his hooves. He spun his neck around, a few cracks coming from it. He groaned in satisfaction from the relief in his neck. It had been awhile since he did that and it had been bugging him for a while. Being nothing but a cloud of dust can do that to a you. The stallion then looked and saw a dark passageway lit with nothing but candle sticks. Figuring he didn't have no where else to go, the stallion made his way down the hallway. The feeling inside was one he knew. He was under the Crystal Empire. Also know as, his old castle. Though that just left him with a dozen questions inside his mind. Why is he still here? How did he not die? All these questions and no one to answer them. However, that would have to wait. Now is the time to take back his empire and kill those who appose him. Most of all, those accursed ponies who stopped him last time.
"I will have my revenge ponies. I will take back my-!"
He stopped himself to think. Their was a problem he forgot about. He attempted to create magic around his horn but was only met with a crackle and red smoke coming from the tip of the horn.
"I am not at my full power yet."
He stopped in his tracks. Placing his hand to his chin and narrowing his eyes. To be at his full power, the stallion needed time. Time was something he didn't have. He wanted to take back his empire as soon as possible and eliminate those who opposed him. That Princess Cadence, Twilight Sparkle and her friends, and Princess Celestia would all perish. Though he wasn't stupid. With his limited strength, he would be defeated again before he even drew his weapon. He growled and slammed his fist into the wall of the hall.
"Dammit! I cant be reckless! If only their was a way I can have a servant who cant break free from my control!"
He then got an idea. An idea he knew that would work.
"I guess Ill call in that favor the bug owes me."
With that, the stallion disappeared into a cloud of black smoke.
Chrysalis sat on her thrown with a look of annoyance. Her legs were crossed and her finger was tapping on the arm of her chair. Her green and black dress shining in the dim light of the room. Her bust showing slightly. She then heard the click to her thrown room door and one of her changelings came through with a nervous look on his face. Chrysalis, sounding uninterested about what the changeling wants, calls out to him.
"What is it?" she called.
The changeling gulped and proceeded into the room. The walked toward the queens thrown, he kneeled.
"My queen...you have a visitor."
Chrysalis was now surprised. She figured it was one of her reproducing changelings coming for the weekly mate but from the look the changeling was giving her, it was something different. Curious, she stared the changeling in the eyes and spoke with an ordering tone.
"Send him in."
The changeling scrambled and sprinted toward the door. She sat back in her thrown and crossed her arms, waiting for the visitor to come through the door. The door slowly opened but nothing was on the other end. Chrysalis went wide eyed and cocked her head as bit. Then, a black cloud came from nowhere and a brawn stallion appeared from the cloud with purple and green eyes that Chrysalis knew all to well.
"Sombra." she said.
The stallion grinned and bowed slightly. Chrysalis could tell he was planning something off the bat. Sombra wouldn't be here if it didn't involve something obscure. The dark stallion walked closer to the bug pony and kneeled before her. His grin not fading.
"Chrysalis. Nice to see you again."
Chrysalis gritted her teeth.
"What do you want?" she said.
Sombra stood back up and placed his hands behind his back.
"I need to call in that favor you owe me."
Chrysalis gave him a look that wasn't pleasant. She growled and pinched the temple of her nose. Now of all times this happens? She stands up and crosses her arms, looking into the soulless eyes of King Sombra. A moment passed before Chrysalis spoke up.
"What do you want?"
Sombra grinned, chuckling slightly as Chrysalis sat back in her thrown. Sombra raised his hand and his red magic surrounded his arm. Chrysalis observed from her chair. The stallion concentrated but as he expected, it died down as soon as it started.
"As you can see. My power is low but I want to take my vengeance on the Crystal Empire, so I need you to help me conjure a solider to do my bidding."
Chrysalis looked at him with the most flabbergasted look she's ever given him. Out of the things Sombra has requested and has done, that was the most insane Chrysalis has ever heard. Sombra raised an eye brow apon seeing the look the bug pony was giving him. He shacked his hand in front of her face and she snapped back to attention.
"Well?" Sombra said. Crossing his arms.
Chrysalis signed. Did she have a choice?
"Fine. But if it comes back to bite you in the ass its your fault!" she said pointing a finger to his muzzle.
"Very well." Sombra said. Pushing the finger away.
[Meanwhile. In another dimension.]
The night was quiet. The most quiet its been in years. The moon glowed bright in the sky, reflecting on the water near a small camp ground. It was abandoned. Most of the buildings covered in cob webs and the windows were smashed. A thin form then sprinted past one of the buildings, breathing heavily and holding its side. It stopped and leaned against a tree. The moons light showed a thin girl, wearing a button shirt that was a few sizes to big for her and nothing but underwear under it. She was holding her side which was riddled with blood. She had the look of fear in her eyes. A twig snapped from behind her. She turned and saw nothing within the darkness. Her heart rate increased and she snapped back behind the tree. She tried to calm herself down, slowing down her breathing to turning around the tree again. However, this time she was met with a large man wearing a olive over coat and a black under shirt. His pants were dark blue and his boots were black. That didn't scare her though. What scared the girl was the amount of blood splatters on his jacket and the hockey mask and blood covered machete. The girl then heard a sound come from him that made her blood run cold.
Ch. Ch. Ch. Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah.
She screamed and sprinted away from the man. He slowly started to follow her, his heavy footsteps all that she could hear over her own. She looked back to not see the man behind her. She heard the sound again, this time more close.
Ch. Ch. Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah.
She looked back but couldn't scream as the same machete was driven into her neck. The man twisted the long bladed machete and decapitated the girl with a swift swing of his weapon. Her body collapsed to the floor and blood spurted out of the wound like a water fountain. The man cocked his head and walked away from the body, holding the head in his free hand. He walked until he came upon a menacing shack surrounded by a white fog. Inside the shack, he walked into a decaying bedroom with a dust covered bed. He opened the closet to reveal a watery graveyard, filled with dismembered, bloody corpses. He threw in the head and slammed the door shut. He then heard a voice inside his mind. A voice of silk and happiness.
"Good boy Jason...now you can rest."
It was her, dear mother had spoken to him once again. Her sweet and caring voice was the only music he ever wanted in his life. He had kept her grave safe, undiscovered to the world. Even after her head rotted to bone, he kept it clean. Jason turned to the dust covered bed. Laying his machete on his stomach as he laid on the bed. Behind the mask, Jason closed his eyes and began to sleep. Yet another batch of teenagers are dead. Just another day, in Camp Crystal Lake.
King Sombra had been following Chrysalis for what seemed like hours. The dark and murky halls of her castle were beginning to become an eye sore for him. He would have just disappeared into a cloud and go to the summoning chamber himself but the only problem was, he didn't know where it was. Sombra blew air out his nose at the thought. You'd think the amount of times he's seen Chrysalis, he would know where everything was in the damned castle. Chrysalis must have caught on to Sombra getting impatient. She stopped and turned a turned to her side to Sombra. The dark stallion halting and giving her a confused look.
"Were here." she said.
Sombra felt his smile returning as Chrysalis pointed to a large arch shaped door next to them. The door itself had strange markings on it. The markings were of a broad creature holding a sword and fighting off a strange creature. The door then gave off an eerie energy that Sombra picked up on in little to no second. The energy felt unwelcomed and it was almost like it was telling Sombra to think about what he's about to do. Though, clouded by his lust for revenge, Sombra ignored the energies feeling. Chrysalis walked to the door and placed a hand on it. The door glowed a neon green, lighting the cracks and the markings on it. The door then slowly opened, reveling a wide, circular room with light shining down from above. Both walked into the room, Chrysalis lighting candles amongst the walls. Sombra cracked a smile and looked over to the bug.
"Almost looks like a mating room."
Chrysalis felt her face burn and she turned to Sombra who was giving her a smug smile. She growled.
"Don't get any ideas. This is the summoning chamber were you'll be able to bring your soldier to this realm."
Sombra chuckled and look up the sky light to see Luna's moon.
"Lets get started shall we?"
Chrysalis took out from under her dress a strange sack. She opened it and started to sprinkle a white dust in a pentagram like shape. Sombra raised an eye brow to this.
"I didn't know you dabbled in black magic Chrysalis."
The bug pony looked up from the circle, placing the pouch back under her dress.
"A lot can change in a few years."
The two then gathered across from each other on the circle.
"When I give you your cue, you'll dive into the portal and take control of solider before it notices."
"Wait...dive?" Sombra said with a slightly nervous look.
Chrysalis rolled her eyes. She then started to chant a series of phrases that Sombra didn't recognized. The circles lines started to glow a dark green. The lines then started to burst into flames. The flames rising higher and higher with each second passing. Sombra shielded his eyes so that it wouldn't damage his vision. Chrysalis chanted louder and the flames grew with her voice. Soon, the flames started to swirl into a ring shape. The ring facing upwards and toward Sombra. A reflective like surface then started to form in the ring. The surface was black, looking as if it was oil. Chrysalis stopped her chanting and looked around the ring toward Sombra who was admiring the sight.
"GO NOW!" she yelled.
Sombra nodded and walked straight into the black surface.
Jason laid in his bed. Sleeping without a sound. His body completely frozen. A rat crawled from underneath Jason's bed. It sniffed the air before a large sound scared it and it ran off. A ring like portal opened up in the middle of the room. Jason didn't was to far deep in his sleep to notice it. A hoof stepped out from the portal, then a hand with claw like fingers, and then a whole broad horse was standing in the bedroom. Sombra shacked his head, trying to collect himself after that little adventure. He then turned to see the sleeping man on the bed before him. He grinned devilishly and walked over to the sleeping man. He placed his hand on top of his mask. His horns magic glowing and his eyes turning red, Sombra took a trip into his mind.
Sombra looked around. He was in some sort of forest. Near him was a sign made of wood and with bright and colorful designs of a lake and sun. "Welcome to Camp Crystal Lake!" The stallion scoffed at the sign and made his way into the camp. The sun shined bright in the sky, no cloud to be seen for miles. The buildings for like new with no signs of decay on them. The grass was flourished and long. The birds were chirping as with glee. Sombra didn't like how nice this place looked. It made him feel sick to his stomach. He then heard something that caught his attention. He turned behind him to see a child. No older then ten. He had tan colored skiin and his eyes were brown. What caught Sombra's however, was his face.
"Good Faust, your hideous." he said with sick look.
The child's head was abnormally shaped with a large lump over his eye. His jaw was slacked with teeth showing out. He had the look of fear apon his face, as if he was afraid of something. A sound then made the child tense up and Sombra looked over to the source.
"Hey Voorhees!" a child yelled.
An army of kids was looking at the deformed child with evil in their eyes. Sombra moved out of the way so that the kids had full view of the boy. He cowered behind the building. The kids then gave out a war cry as they dragged out the disfigured boy from the behind the building, putting a bag over his head and pushing him around. The boy gave out a cry and tried to run away from the group. He ran with limp as the kids followed close behind. A thought then came to Sombra's mind.
"I'm surprised no one is stopping this."
The stallion then turned and saw older looking kids, teenagers probably, on the front porch of a cabin. Some were talking with each other while others were smacking their lips together and touching each other in very inappropriate ways. Sombra gave a weird look toward the teens and followed and the kids who were leading the boy toward a boardwalk on the lake. Sombra snickered, knowing what the kids might do. The boy stopped at the end of the boardwalk and looked down at the water. He whimpered and slowly backed away from the edge. Then, just as he turned around, a dozen hands pushed him and he fell into the water. The kids laughed as the boy tried to swim. He struggled, shouted, and cried out as the kids walked away. Sombra liked this worlds children.
A scream was then behind Sombra as two females ran past him. One looked just like the boy while the other one was a older looking woman with darker hair. The two ran to the board walk and reached out to the boy. The mother cried out to her son.
"Jason! Sweetie, grab my hand!"
Jason tried to reach to his mothers hand but his struggling in the water was dragging him further away. The younger ladies laid out on her stomach and reached out as well. Tears in her eyes as she cried out.
"Jason! Grab on!"
The boy nearly reached grabbed the girls hand but Sombra used his leg and pushed the boy under the water. The mother and girl cried as Sombra grinned.
"Jason Voorhees. You are now mine."
Sombra's hand and eyes glowed purple and green fire. He pointed it toward the water ate started to cackle. He didn't get to unleash his magic however when a much larger form burst from under the water and slugged Sombra in his jaw. Sombra was sent flying and he ended up hitting tree. He looked up and saw a muscular man, wearing the same hockey mask from before with a very aggressive vibe coming off of him. The man stomped toward Sombra, with fists clenched at his sides. The stallion stood up and charged his horn. He let out a crimson stream but it missed the wolf man as he disappeared into a cloud of fog. The setting the changed drastically. It was now night with the looks of decay showing on the cabins. Sombra then heard something out of the darkness.
Ch. Ch. Ah. Ah. Ah.
Sombra turned and was slugged again, this time, hard enough that it sent him out of Jason's mind and spiraling back on his rear in the real world. He rubbed his head and looked as the portal was still open. Jason's eyes then snapped open and his body sprang up from the bed. Sombra looked at the man as he got off the bed and picked up the machete off from the side. Sombra dashed to the side as the machete came down with force and hit the wall of the bedroom. He then assaulted the masked person with series of jabs to his face and arm. Sombra then heard a satisfying snap in the arm as it bent a way it shouldn't have. Though Sombra was confused as Jason didn't let out a cry of agony, but instead used his other hand to slug him and send him flying into the portal. Jason looked at his broken arm, grabbing the lower part of it and forcing back into place. A few cracks could be heard but Jason was satisfied with the fixed limb. He pried his machete out of the wall and looked at the portal in front of him. The same voice he heard in his head before came back but this time sounding more grim.
"Don't let him get away Jason. Mommy wants the job done now!"
Chrysalis could feel her will for keeping up the portal start to fade. The portal itself was growing smaller and the color was turning a darker shade of green. Chrysalis squinted her eyes as she could feel her whole body start to tense up from the damage the portal was causing her. The room she was in was started to cave in from the force the portal was making. The walls were crumbling and cracks in the ground were starting to form. It was almost like the whole room was being sucked in by the portal. The ring then made a loud humming sound and started to deform. Chrysalis raised an eye brow at the weird behavior but braced herself for what ever happened next. Next thing she knew, Sombra came rushing out from the portal with an anxious look on his face. Sombra tackled Chrysalis to the ground, the portal being destroyed as soon as the queens focus was taken away. Chrysalis rubbed her head and looked down to see a bloodied nose Sombra laying on her chest. She blushed slightly and pushed the stallion off her.
Sombra opened his eyes to see he was back in his world. Relief washed over him but was soon faded as he realized his plan to take revenge on the Crystal Empire was now ruined. Thanks to the hockey masked man. Sombra's eyes then grew as wide as saucers as he remembered what he saw when Jason punched him into the portal. He followed him. Chrysalis saw the look in Sombra's eyes. She squatted down next to him with a wide grin on her face.
"Let me guess, it didn't work?"
Sombra's only response was a growl toward the queen.
"No as a matter of fact. Now however, their is a revenant unleashed in Equestria."
Chrysalis grew a nervous look on her face. If this revenant was able to beat Sombra, with out his full strength mind you, then Equestria is going to have more trouble then she thought. All Chrysalis could do is prey to Faust to whoever came in revenants way.
Jason felt as though he was hit by a dozen trucks all at once. He knew where he was however. He was under water, the whole situation was ironic. He beat up some dream eater and the next minute he wakes up in water. This time he didn't even take a scratch besides a busted arm. He wondered of this would become a habit. That's what happened last time with Freddy but the dream killer put up a fight compared to that other guy. One thing was for sure though, Jason would have that horses head on his machete by the end of day. Jason studied his surroundings. The water he was in was as deep as Crystal Lake, but it was much more clear. Jason could actually see the bottom of it. Jokes aside, Jason started to swim up to the surface, the water taking him as feather.
The man erupted out of the water, looking at his surroundings. The whole area was so similar to Crystal Lake. The trees, the air, and the water. All of it was like seeing an exact replica, except for the cabins not being there. Jason trudged though the water, coming ashore on the land near the lake. His body was drenched and his clothes were dripping like running faucets. He heard a sound next to him. Jason snapped his head toward the sound and let out his call.
Ch. Ch. Ch. Ah. Ah. Ah.
He raised his machete high above him and with without a moments notice, hacked away at the shrug next to him. The shrug was soon reduced to nothing but its stem as Jason looked over what caught his attention. It was a small rabbit, cowering in fear. Jason cocked his head at the rabbit. He turned and walked away from the small little creature. He had his mind set prize that didn't require tearing apart an animal. The rabbit on the other hand would make a note to tell one of his closest friends about this new intruder.
Angel sprinted toward a small cottage at the end of the woods. The look of despair on his face was frozen and what he encountered what be forever burned into his mind. Angel could feel the emotions coming off that thing what ever it was. To Angel, it wasn't even alive. No hesitation, no emotion, no voice. It sent a chill down his spine. Angel stopped himself as he arrived at Fluttershy's cottage, breathing heavily. He beat on the door with all his little might. The door slowly opened, a tall, cream fur and pink haired pony, wearing a blue wind breaker and short shorts. She looked down and saw her bunny friend panic. Fluttershy cupped her mouth and gasped. She kneeled down and puled Angel in for a tight hug. Fluttershy's breasts acting like pillows for Angel as his breathing slowed. Fluttershy looked down at Angel with caring eyes. Her voice motherly and soft.
"Angel dear what happened?"
Angel hopped out of Fluttershy's arms and begun to do a form of sign language. First, the bunny mimicked walking straight up and his shoulders slightly slouched. Fluttershy nodded.
"So...tall pony?" she asked.
Angel shaked his head. He made his fingers like pointed ears and stretching his mouth like a muzzle. Fluttershy gasped.
"A...wolf pony!?"
Angel face palmed. Fluttershy put a finger to her top lip.
"So just a tall man?" she said.
Angel cheered silently like Fluttershy won the million dollar question. She on the other hand was shocked by the description that Angel had given her. Without thinking, she made her way out the door in a rush. Angel was then left in the house alone, he made his way to the kitchen were the bunny helped himself to the tasty sweets Fluttershy had made.
Jason felt as though he had been walking for miles. The sun was baking him behind his mask, but his legs were prone to exhaustion. Jason could walk nonstop for days or even months. He plowed his way through bushes and other animals that tried to get his way. A large beast that looked like it was thrown into a blender confronted Jason earlier, the revenants only response was to split the beast in two. Poor thing didn't even land a blow. Jason adjusted his grip on his machete, the bands around it were coated in his sweat and it was getting more and more difficult to hold. He wished he had grabbed his scabbard before leaving Crystal Lake. Not one of his more wise choices. Although he questioned if that was the stupidest thing he ever did. He didn't know.
The undead killer soon reached a clearing in the brush to the forest and gazed toward an odd looking building on a hill in the distance. It was like a small barn his mother used to take him when he was a child. The red shading of the wood, the white outlines, the small , colorful, equine child playing outside. Jason cocked his head in wonder as he looked upon the horse children in the courtyard of the barn. A school? Possibly. Though Jason was used to being in a log cabin being taught by his mother and not other children. The revenant then saw something that made him straighten up. An attractive equine adult, no later in her thirties, walked out of the barn with a loving look on her face. Jason knew off the bat she was the teacher, all he needed now was a reason not to kill her and he would be on his way. Jason then looked over to a lone tree on a hill next to the school. Three little girls were sitting together, wearing some weird capes around their necks. One was orange with purple hair, one was white with lighter shade of purple but with white stripes mixed in, the last one...looked so...familiar. Her yellow fur and red hair with a bow on the top of her head. Jason felt as though he's seen her somewhere.
Jason cocked his head again in the other direction. His breathing increased and his mind began to race. Thinking he was in plain sight, Jason crouched down and peered through a bush at the hill. It was then he got a better look at them all. The white one and the orange one were talking with happiness and excitement. While the yellow one sat their, her legs tucked into her chest on her grey t-shirt. She had a sad look on her face. Jason leaned in further to hear them talking.
"Hey Apple Bloom. What's wrong?" the orange one asked.
"Yeah, you haven't eaten lunch yet and you haven't said a word all day." the white one commented.
Apple Bloom looked up for a minute but tucked her head back in her legs. Her two friends exchanged glances. Apple Bloom then spoke up, catching the two off guard.
"Granny's gotten sick you guys."
The two glanced over to Apple Bloom with worried looks. The three know how old Granny is but they never would have guess she would become sick, now of all times. Tears started to from in Apple Blooms eyes as she sobbed softly. A voice like nails on a miniature chalk board then caught Jason's and the three fillies attention.
"Hey blank flanks!"
The three fillies and Jason turned their attention to two snooty looking pony children. One was grey with white hair and her friend was pink with a fancy haircut and pearls around her neck. The two surrounded the three fillies with looks of evil. Jason gripped his machete with a tight grip. What they said next almost made him flip his mask.
"Yea know, your grannies been living a long time. I'm glad she'll die soon, so that she wont be around your blank flanks ever again."
That was enough to made Apple Bloom sob even harder. The white one tended to her while the orange one gave the snooty brat a look of rage.
"How dare you say that Tiara! You don't if Apple Blooms granny will die! She's just sick!"
Tiara rolled her eyes and spoke in a blank expression. Jason decided he had enough. He shot straight up from the bushes and made his way toward the children.
"Hey I'm just telling the truth. So I suggest you buck up and deal with it. Ponies die every day, deal with it."
Heavy footsteps silenced the children and a tall shadow over took Tiara and her friend. Both looked back to see the masked stranger behind them. The large stranger then echoed a ominous tone that scared each of the children to the bone.
Ch. Ch. Ch. Ah. Ah. Ah.
Tiara and her friend screamed and ran off toward the school. The three fillies looked at the tall man in front of them with wide eyes. Apple Bloom looked up from her tuck. Jason was like a statue. Staring at the children, with his machete in his right hand and the blade pointed the other way, lowered to his side to put them at ease. Apple Bloom wiped her eyes and stood up on her legs. Jason moved as well, stepping forward. The three fillies let out small chirps as the silent man moved. Apple Bloom then thought of something. She sat on her butt and placed her hands behind her. Jason copied her. The three fillies looked at each other with smiles.
King Sombra, with his arms crossed and an angry look on his face, looked out of one of the darker shaded windows of Chrysalis palace. It had only been a day since Jason followed him in Equestria but he hasn't heard anything from any pony. He was beginning to wonder if he died. Did some wild animal kill him? He prayed to Faust that would be the case. Sombra knew something was wrong with Jason. He wasn't even affected by Sombra's mind control and his strength was unbelievable. Either Jason just had a locked up mind or he was guarded by some magical force. Either way, Sombra wanted to find Jason and kill him before he could cause and disturbances in his plans. However, their is a slight problem.
"Where are you Voorhees?" he growled.
Sombra broke off from the window and made his way down a changeling infested hallway. The bugs gave him looks of terror and some even ran or flew away. Sombra rolled his eyes. He soon came to a large door on one side of the hallway. It looked just like the summoning chambers door except with different markings. This time is was the same swordsman but he was kneeling and looked injured. What was standing over him was what looked like a devil monster with blades for hands. Sombra looked further down the door to see the devil had his head removed and it was in the swordsman's hands. Sombra raised an eye brow.
"Intriguing...its almost like a prophecy." Sombra said.
Curious, Sombra opened the door to see it was just like the summoning chambers except their was a strange hat on the ground. Sombra went over to it and picked it up. It felt like it was made of cardboard but furry at the same time. He flipped it over to see who it belonged too. He had squint his eyes because the name was written in cursive.
"Freddy...Kruger?"
Sombra felt as though he should have seen this. He dropped the hat and walked out of the room. He slammed the door shut but double takes, thinking he was seeing things. Sombra quickly opened the door again, his suspicions were correct. The hat was gone. Was it just his eyes playing him? Or was it something more? Sombra couldn't think about it right now, he had more pressing matters to attend too. Sombra walked further down the hall, his arms behind his back. Not knowing what else to do, Sombra stops in his tracks and his hand is engulfed in red magic.
"I guess I should start breaking Jason down bit by bit."
With a click of his fingers. Sombra's magic shout out from his hand. The cloud of magic disappeared and what stood in front made Sombra gave him a wide smile. Their were three of them. Demonic looking ponies with bat wings and pointed ears. Each one female. They were wearing latex suits with skull like masks. They looked at Sombra with their expressionless masks.
"You are to track down the one called Jason Voorhees. You are not going to kill him, just injure him to a point he cant stand."
The three demons nodded and disappeared into a clouds of red smoke. Sombra started to laugh manically his revenge would be soon enough.
Jason didn't know what was going on anymore. At first his main job was to kill that pony that dragged him here in the first place but now it was like he couldn't leave Apple Bloom. She was like a magnet to Jason. He had been listening for hours to their chatter. Hearing them try to come up of a solution to who Jason was and why he copies Apple Bloom. Other times their talking about things called 'cutie marks.' Jason didn't get it. He followed them into a small little village full of other ponies as well. All of them were giving him looks of terror and others of disgust. He didn't know of it was the mask or his machete. Probably both. Apple Bloom suddenly turned to him Jason stopped dead in his tracks and looked down at the filly, cocking his head slightly.
"Sorry to ask but, what's yer name mister?"
Jason wanted to tell her but realized he couldn't. He lost his voice decades ago. Thinking fast, Jason bent over with his machete and started drawing his name into the dirt road, as best to his fifth grade level education could manage. The three fillies observed as the man wrote his name in the dirt with his blade.
"Jason" the white one said wide eyed.
The three fillies looked up and Jason nodded. They exchanged glances and wide smiles came across their faces. Immediately after words, they grabbed Jason by his wrists and dragged him to a outdoor café. Everyone else moved away from the tall man while the small children moved a chair under him. Jason was confused even more now. He wasn't used to sitting unless he was on his bed back in Crystal Lake. Jason came out of his thoughts and saw three cute faces staring up at him. He cocked his head and laid his machete on the glass table in front of him. The whole time the fillies were just staring at him. Jason sat their as well, frozen as a statue. The fillies then came more close to the revenant then usual. Their faces nearly touching his mask. Jason's eyes grew wide. The fillies then spoke in excited states.
"I'm Sweetie Bell!" the white one said.
The orange one knocked the white one out of the way and gave Jason a snarky grin. "I'm Scootaloo, nice to meet yea."
Lastly, Apple Bloom shoved Scootaloo and introduced herself. Though Jason already knew her.
"I'm Apple Bloom."
Jason looked over the three fillies and did nothing but sit their. They gaze confused looks toward the man in front of them.
"Um...sorry to ask but...cant you talk?" Sweetie Bell asked him.
Jason figured that would have been easy to figure out by now. Seeing as though he hadn't been speaking since he met them, but alas, he shakes his head in response. The fillies looked at each other with worried looks. Apple Bloom put a finger to her chin.
"Can we see under your mask?"
Jason felt his entire body tense up. No, that was something he had to keep hidden. For their sake anyway. Jason shakes his head again, earning confused looks out of the children. He knew what they were going to say next, and he didn't like it.
"Why not?" Scootaloo asked.
Jason was frozen, he didn't have a way of explaining why he couldn't take it off. He could hardly give any thought about what the adults thought, but when it came to children, especially the three in front of him, their was no way in hell he would show his face. Thinking quickly, Jason just shakes his head again. Frowns formed on the children's faces. Jason felt bad for a second. He then heard something. The sounds of people screaming behind him. Jason turned his head slightly and saw adults running in fear. The three fillies soon looked over Jason's shoulder and saw the same thing. He turned back to them but they didn't seem impressed.
"Its probably just another monster attacking PonyVille. It happens like every week." Scootaloo said with a bored expression on her face.
Now that was something Jason didn't expect to hear. Every week? It must have been awhile before these ponies got used to something like that. None the less, Jason turned his attention toward where the screaming was coming from. Barrels were being thrown into the air and ponies were running or flying away from the sight. Then, a lone pony came out from behind one of the buildings, she had a look of dread on her face and was holding something in her arms. It was round and fuzzy. The three fillies tried to look over Jason to see what it was but he blocked them with his machete to avoid having them see it. It was a severed head in the ponies arms. If these ponies were used to this Jason was really surprised now.
A red blur shot out from behind the building and with a sound of a sword being swung, the mare fell to her knees and a red line formed across her neck. She fell to the floor dead in a pool of her own blood. The same red blur then landed behind the body. The monster was somewhat the same height as Jason but with a more slim figure and wearing a red latex suit, almost looking like skin. Her head was skull like and her hair was long and black, but what really caught Jason's attention, were her hands. Blade like fingers. Jason's mind was flooded with memories from when he fought Kruger. His anger went through the roof and soon, Jason was death gripping his machete. He sprung out of his chair and tried to walk to the demon but was stopped by the children. He looked down at them and cocked his head. The crusaders were giving him puppy eyes.
"Please Jason don't go! That thing will tear yea to shreds!" Apple Bloom begged.
The revenant didn't have time to react before a knife came out of nowhere and impaled itself in Jason's shoulder. The girls screamed as Jason flinched and tried to keep his stance from the impact. Jason looked at the blade in his shoulder, gripping it and yanking it out within a second. Blood spurt from the wound and dripped down his jacket. Now he was pissed. The red demon sprinted toward Jason with a snarl. She swiped with her blades with tremendous speed. Jason put up his machete for protection. Some of the slashes were blocked but some hit Jason in his shoulder or chest. Of course it barely hurt but he needed to get the upper hand before he ended up losing fingers, again. Jason swung his machete, breaking the baring of the demon. He swung his fist down on the side of her skull. The demon was sent flying across the dirt road, a small trail of blood from her busted lip trailing her.
The demon sat up, feeling the blood trickle down her lip. She felt her lip and growled. She then stood up and let out an ear splitting screech into the sky. The fillies covered their ears while Jason stood their. Two more of the demons arrived, hissing at the man as they surrounded him. Jason looked frantically around, seeing he was now outnumbered. He's been in tougher situations. The fillies watched from a distance in fear of their friend. They were worried that he was going to die. Apple Bloom then heard a familiar call from behind them.
"Apple Bloom!"
She turned around to see her sister Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity running towards them. The fillies ran toward them, nearly tackling them as Sweetie Bell and Apple Bloom collided with their sisters. Scootaloo stopping in front of Rainbow Dash and nodding. Applejack pulled Apple Bloom out of the hug and looked into her eyes.
"All right...what's goin' on?"
Apple Bloom told her sister about the attack. She nodded and turned towards Rarity and Rainbow Dash with a focused look.
"Dash, get Twilight. We'll need all the help we can get. Rarity, your with me."
Apple Bloom tugged on Applejacks overalls. She looked down at her sister and crouched down next to her.
"What's wrong sis?"
Apple Bloom simply smiled.
"Don't worry about getting everyone together. Jason will take care of them."
The three mares raised eye brows when they heard the name.
"Who?" they said.
A demon then came flying across the dirt road and skidding like a rock on water. Her body was twisted and a large slash was in her chest. It was dead. Rarity gasped and covered Sweetie Bells eyes while the others looked at the corpse in horror. it then disappeared into a cloud of red smoke. The ponies then looked where the demon came from and where met with a sight the mares weren't used to seeing. The large masked man had one of the demons by the neck and was punching it in the face repeatedly until it stopped moving and the skull head was smashed in. Jason dropped the corpse to the ground and picked up his machete from the ground. He silently signed and looked around for the last saber demon. She was no where to be seen. Jason knew it wouldn't be that easy. He looked around slowly, keeping his guard up as he did. A screech was heard and Jason swung his machete with incredible force. His vision was then blurred by the amount of red that was in his eyes. Two severed body pieces fell to the ground, blood pouring out like a leaking faucet. Jason pulled his mask off slowly and wiped his eyes with the sleeve of his jacket.
"Hey Jason!" he heard Apple Bloom call.
Jason scrambled and put his mask back on in time as the crusaders arrived behind him. He then felt their three bodies close in on him and wrap their arms around his waist. They broke off and Jason turned around, with a blood soaked mask and his echo following it.
Ch. Ch. Ch. Ah. Ah. Ah.
The three mares grabbed their children and hid them behind them. Jason snapped his head straight up to see three protective faces looking him. To him it was cute. He could rip these three in two right now and wouldn't feel bad about at all. The only reason he didn't do it was the fillies scrambling out from the behind their sisters and stepping in front of them.
"Hold on sis!" Apple Bloom said.
"Rarity wait!" Sweetie cried.
"Chill out for a minute guys!" Scootaloo added.
Applejack signed and gazed down to Apple Bloom.
"Please don't tell me this is Jason." she said.
To confirm her suspicions, the crusaders shake their heads. The three mares looked at each other, knowing it was going to be difficult to pry them from this thing. Jason was observing everything without a sound. The blood on his jacket and shirt had dried making the spots grow hard and uncomfortable. He then heard a whisper in his ear that made his eyes grow wide as plates.
"Die...little nuisance."
Jason felt as though his body was sliced in half. He felt that one hurt more then anything he's ever felt before. He looked down and saw a large spear had been driven through him. It was only mere inches away from hitting Apple Bloom as well. Jason coughed up blood and it spurt though his mask. His chest wasn't any different. With screams of terror, Jason fell to the ground, letting go of his machete and landing on the dirt road on his back. The spear had disappeared into a cloud of black smoke. The fillies and mares crowded around Jason and watched as he closed his eyes. The mares held the crusaders as they cried for their lost friend. Jason on the other hand was seeing an image of King Sombra laughing at him as his vision faded. Sombra had no idea, who he was dealing with.
Jason woke up in a weird setting. It was in some sort of castle. The walls were covered in vines and the ground was cracked. Jason looked around him, his machete was gone. Jason knew his strength was better then his machete but he liked that blade just for the soul purpose of gutting people. Jason then heard a laugh come from down the hallway. He snapped his head in the direction and saw a familiar stallion standing their with a ball of red fire in his hands. Sombra had a wide smirk on his face and he spoke in a monotone voice.
There they were. Locked in a internal gaze. Sombra with his wide grin and stare while Jason clutched his fists, ready for anything. Sombra clicked his fingers and a red cloud appeared from nowhere, forming into an axe like weapon in the stallions hand. This whole situation was so familiar to Jason. Sombra looked over the axe in his hands, picking at the sharp end with his finger nail. He was mocking Jason for not having a weapon with him. Jason's breathing increased at the mocking and his fists tightened.
"Now it appears that the tables have turned Jason." Sombra said.
Jason felt his rage start to boil. Now only did Sombra temporarily kill him, but now Jason was in the dream world and not on his own home field. The last time he was in this situation he was beaten to a pulp and then humiliated by Krueger. History was repeating itself and Jason would have to pull through it in order to get back to the real world. More importantly, he needed to get Sombra into the real world and kill him. It was obvious Sombra wasn't going to die in the dream world but Jason isn't so lucky. If he died again here, he would be lost in limbo for eternity. His healing factor only restores his body, not his mind.
"It seems you've grown a bond as well." Sombra said with a sinister smile.
Jason's eyes went wide as Sombra clicked his fingers again. A red portal morphed into the room, in the middle it showed the crusaders crying over Jason's body. The revenant watched as Apple Bloom placed her face on the corpses chest. All the rage Jason was feeling was gone and instead was filled with something else. An emotion he hadn't felt in years. Before he could comprehend what was going on, Sombra closed the portal and started to laugh. Jason's rage returned full force. Sombra had done it, he crossed the line. Jason charged full force toward Sombra with a shoulder charge. However, Sombra was fast. He leaped out of Jason's way and slashed his back with the axe leaving a large cut on the revenants back. Jason fell on his stomach but jumped to his feet without a second notice. Sombra raised an eye brow.
"Durable little pest aren't you?"
Durable was an understatement. Jason charged toward Sombra again and connected this time. He barreled Sombra through the halls of the castle with force. Jason threw Sombra off of him and he went flying across a lengthy dinner hall. Sombra stopped himself and growled toward Jason. The revenant looked around and saw a large kitchen knife on the table next to him. Jason grabbed it and held it tight in his hand. Sombra laughed at the knife compared to his axe.
"You think that little dagger will do more then my weapon!"
Jason nods and Sombra's smile vanished. Now he had look of annoyance on his face.
"Well then...I wont keep you waiting."
Sombra and Jason charged at each other, weapons at the ready. Sombra raised his axe over his head and Jason readied to swing his knife.
Apple Bloom watched, from the comfort of holding Applejack, as EMT ponies put Jason's body over a stretcher. A white sheet was placed over him during the move to prevent others from seeing the body. The EMTs picked up the stretcher and ran toward PonyVille hospital. Ponies who gathered in the road to see the after math of the carnage were shocked at the sight. The streets were coded in blood and more then five bodies were found. The Saber Sisters disappeared and all that were left were dead civilians and Jason. That was the part that made the crusaders cringe however. Their friend gave his life to defend the town and no one even knows about it.
"Hey you know what? I saw that huge dude taking on those weird looking animals through my window." said a pony.
Apple Blooms ears perked up, the crusaders, Rarity, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash turned to see a group of ponies gathered around each other. They were talking about the fight.
"Really? I saw him wearing some sort of mask and his sword was huge!"
More whispers and then another pony spoke up.
"He didn't even look like pony!"
Applejack felt her overalls being gripped harder, she looked down and saw the worry in Apple Blooms eyes. Another pony then said something that made the crusaders and their sisters blood run cold.
"The EMTs took him to the hospital didn't they? Why don't we find out who saved the town?"
The crowd cheered and agreed and marched toward the hospital.
Jason came crashing through a broad door, he skidded down the room and landed on his neck. He flipped and landed on his back. He stood up and cracked his jaw. Sombra came through the door with his battle axe held in his hand. Jason's jacket was covered in rips from the battle axe and Sombra's armor was dented in some places. His cape was ripped and his nose was bleeding. The revenant had done his number on Sombra and he did his number as well. The stallion arched his arm and it cracked, he chuckled and spoke in a mocking tone.
"Getting tired?" he said.
Jason looked to his right, he saw his knife he had been using was broken. He needed another weapon, but for now he needed to keep his guard up. He needed to be stronger this time, to not let his fears get the better of him. If Sombra what he was afraid of then he needed to hit him before he did. Jason ran toward Sombra, swinging his arms side to side. Sombra smiled and readied himself. He dug his hooves into the ground and gripped the axe with both hands. Now was the time to finish Jason off. Just as the revenant was close enough, Sombra swung the axe but he didn't make contact. Instead, he felt a large fist hit him in the stomach. Sombra coughed and blood spurt from his mouth. Jason then grabbed the stallion in a german suplex grapple. The man flipped Sombra and he landed straight on his face. He grabbed him again, this time by the neck. Sombra punched Jason's mask multiple times and then kicked him in the gut, staggering him back. The two looked at each other. Sombra had blood lust on his face while Jason had his eyes narrowed.
"You will die this day!" Sombra growled.
He leaped forward with his battle axe in mid swing.
The head doctor at the hospital had his hands full at the moment. Almost all of PonyVille flooded the hospital, wanting to see the body the EMTs brought in earlier. He was sure they knew he was dead but they insisted on seeing the body. The front desk was flooded and multiple nurses were trying to calm down the crowd.
"Now please every pony! We already told you the patient was DOA! Can you all please go home now and bury your dead!"
Soon, the crowd calmed down and proceeded out the front door. While six ponies stayed behind. The doctor looked down at the three fillies in front of him. All with worried looks on their faces. He signed.
"What can I do for you little ones?" he asked.
Apple Bloom stepped forward. She was holding her arm and she was looking down at the floor.
"Can...we see Jason please?"
The doctor gave the child a surprised expression. His glasses nearly slipping off his face. The doctor fixed his glasses and opened his mouth but no words came out. On the one hand, he wasn't supposed to show a dead body to children. On another note, the filly could help solve the John Doe case he has. Going against his bitter judgment, the doctor gave in.
"Okay, but make it quick."
The fillies eyes grew wide with glee. The crusaders were guided by the doctor to the were Jason's body was placed, while Applejack, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash stayed behind. The three mares however, had different views on the situation.
"What do ya'll think?" Applejack asked.
Rainbow Dash had her arms crossed and Rarity was scratching her chin.
"I don't like it. Didn't you guys feel, I don't know, bad when you looked at that mask?" Rainbow Dash said.
Rarity and Applejack exchanged glances. Rainbow was right. Jason had this negative feeling around him that seemed to be targeted toward adults and not children. It felt threatening and dangerous to be around Jason for the mares, like at any second he could snap. The front door to the hospital opened and the mares were greeted by the rest of their friends. The friends greeted each other and collected about the experience.
"I'm guessing the girls are in the back with...him?" Twilight said with hesitation in her voice.
Applejack nodded and everyone looked at each other. A little dragon came from behind Twilight, taking out a piece of paper and quill from his pants pocket.
"Do you want me to write to the princess Twilight?" he asked.
Twilight looked at Spike with wide eyes. She didn't think about getting the princesses in this until she and her friends understood the masked man better. It seems however, she didn't have a choice. She nodded and Spike placed the end of the quill on the paper.
Sombra's entire body was burning with exhaustion. Jason was relentless, he had taken so much punishment but never showed a sign of it. Jason was more durable then Sombra thought. The two looked across from each other in a large ballroom of the dream world castle. Sombra's armor was falling to pieces and was damaged beyond repair. His nose was broken with a bright purple black eye to match with it. The masked man's jacket was nearly gone and his shirt was ripped to a point his chest was completely showing. Slashes and gashes were in his skin from Sombra's now broken axe. Blood covered his body from his wounds. The two could barley move by this point.
"So...had...enough?" Sombra said over the large breaths.
Jason responded by walking toward Sombra with a limp. His leg was broken and his speed had been cut down. Sombra started to laugh as Jason limped toward him.
"You think you've won!? This is nothing but a limbo realm created by me!"
Without a second to spare, Jason grabbed Sombra by his neck. He plunged his fist into his chest, pushing it into his stomach until it burst into his chest. Sombra growled in pain while Jason brought his hand out and punched the stallion in his jaw. Sombra went flying across the floor, sliding in his own blood. Sombra chuckled though his blood in his lungs and looked up at the revenant with a grin.
"We'll meet again Jason Voorhees."
Sombra then disappeared into a cloud of black smoke, Jason felt fatigued and fell flat on his back. He could feel his consciousness fading as the room he was in became darker until it was nothing but black. He then heard through the darkness, the sound of crying. Jason's eyes slowly opened and he found himself in some sort of body bag. It was translucent and he could see three little figures over his body. Jason took in a breathe, catching the attention of the three figures. Their crying stopped.
"Ja...Jason?" he heard Apple Bloom cried.
Jason punched through the bag, the girls screaming in response. The three fillies ran to the front door as Jason freed himself form the body bag. They looked in astonishment as the masked man stood on his feet in front of them. The looks of fear soon faded to smiles as the crusaders ran toward the revenant and wrapped their small arms around his legs. Tears in their eyes. Jason looked down at the trio and placed one of his hands on Apple Blooms head. He heard Apple Bloom cry to him.
"Thank Celestia your alright."
The three crusaders took Jason's hands and tried to drag him out but were stopped as Jason didn't move. They turned to him and saw he was reaching for his machete which was on a small table next to him. He grabbed it and let it hang at his side as he followed the fillies out of the morgue.
Sombra came through a black cloud back into Chrysalis castle. His wounds had vanished and his armor was good as new. He thought about the fight with Jason. He underestimated his foe. Jason was far more powerful then Sombra could have known. He was built like tank, to receive and dish out punishment. It was obvious Jason was no pushover and he wasn't going to go down easy. Which means Sombra needs to come up with a way that will make it to wear Jason's limits will have to be destroyed. But first, Sombra needed to know his limits. Though he wasn't even sure if the revenant was even afraid of anything. Every time he looked into Jason's eyes, all he could see was darkness. No emotions except rage. Rage, that gave Sombra an idea. What if he used that to his advantage? If Jason had quite the bad temper on him, maybe he could push him to where he could be destroyed.
Chrysalis watched from her thrown at the plotting stallion in front of her. A bored expression on her face. The two then heard a laugh inside the castle. Sombra drew a sword and Chrysalis hands were engulfed in magic. The two went back to back as the laughing continued.
"Who is there!?" Chrysalis called.
A wall of hell fire formed into a spire like shape. The two watched with amazement as the fire grew with the laughter. A voice was then heard in the hell fire. It was deep, sounding like an raspy old man.
"Someone who wants to help."
A short, pony figure walked out of the hellfire. It wore a red and green sweater with a hat that Sombra recognized. His hands had finger like blades. Now Sombra was sure of it.
"Freddy Krueger I presume?"
Freddy laughed again. and looked up to the ponies in front of him. He had smile that could scare Celestia herself. His mouth had jagged and bright yellow teeth. His skin looked burnt. His eyes were however, were blank. Just pitch white, no soul to be found. Sombra raised an eye brow.
"And why do you want to help me?" he asked.
Freddy shrugged.
"Oh I don't know...maybe its because I want to see that fucker Jason die."
Sombra's interest was now peeked. It seems as though Freddy's fought Jason before. Now the pieces were coming together. The markings on the doors, Freddy's hat in the room. All of it was supposed to happen, but if that's the case.
"I know that I'm destined to lose against him."
Freddy clapped his hands together. The sounds of his blades hitting one other were like nails on a chalkboard.
"Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner! Your damn right your gonna lose."
Sombra growled at Freddy's attitude. What did this have to do with helping him?
"Your point it is?" Sombra growled.
Freddy stopped his laughter and looked at Sombra with a bored expression.
"My point is that Jason's immortal. Your not."
Sombra and Chrysalis eyes grew as wide as saucers. Sombra then put two and two together. That explains why Jason could take so much damage and not show any signs of giving up.
"How can I destroy him then?"
Freddy gave Sombra a look that made him think he asked a stupid question. It was like he was already to supposed to know the answer to that. Despite that, Freddy had to reply.
"Well, Jason may have a healing factor. But that doesn't do for shit if his body isn't there at all."
Sombra thought about it for a minute. Jason could be injured which means he could be dismembered and it means he could be destroyed. Freddy laughed and disappeared into the wall of hellfire. The spire then sunk back into the floor. Sombra called back about Freddy's advice. and what he learned from the experience. If those markings depicted about Freddy and Jason's fight then what other prophecies would be fulfilled? However, Sombra now knew a way to kill Jason for good this time.
The crusaders were laughing with joy, holding each others hands and singing a joyful melody. Behind them was a the tall, masked wolf man holding a machete. Who was pronounced dead little less then an hour ago. A huge hole in his shirt where the spear had impaled him. Said spot looked completely normal with no wounds to be seen. Many of the doctors and nurses looked in shock and awe at the man as he walked down the hall. Every one waited in the front room, waiting for the crusaders to come back from mourning their friend. The head doctor was in a conversation with Twilight. Seems both of them were on the topic of the masked man.
"I mean...its interesting. When I took a look at him in the autopsy room his entire body was riddle with scars and parts were his bones were dislocated. So I wonder how in the world did this guy survive the punishment and what kind of life did he live." Twilight nodded.
"Agreed. He seems to be very durable and built to a point where he could give a strong colt a run for his money. Though from what Applejack told me, he has this feel odd dread around him. Like if you say or do the wrong thing he might kill you because of it. The crusaders don't seem to have this feeling, instead they just see him as a friend."
The talk proceeded until the door leading into one of the hospital hallways swings open and three little fillies come through with wide smiles on their faces. The main six give the crusaders give confused looks. Just a minute ago they were acting like the saddest ponies in Equestria, now it was like they won the lottery. Applejack walks up to Apple Bloom and kneels down to her.
"Say Apple Bloom, why are you so cheery?"
Just as she finished. A familiar figure walked into the main room. An eerie echo following him.
Ch. Ch. Ah. Ah. Ch. Ch. Ch.
Everyone in the room screamed, running away from the zombie. Applejack, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash stayed behind so they could get their sisters away from Jason. They knew if they did that though Jason would kill them. Looks of fear imprinted themselves on the three mares faces. The crusaders gave confused looks while Jason cocked his head. The rest of the ponies came back inside with looks of fear. Fluttershy was holding onto Twilight as they proceeded inside. Everyone looked at Jason in astonishment. Hours later he was confirmed dead, but now he was up and walking. With no injuries to be found on him. Like the spear that had impaled him didn't even kill him. Now their was just a large hole in his shirt, Jason's lower abs showing. Most of the girls tried to look away and stay on topic.
"How...is he alive?" Twilight asked.
Apple Bloom looked back at Jason with a puzzled look. She wasn't quite sure herself.
"I don't know. All that he did was punch through the body bag and he was alive again." she said looking at him.
Jason looked down at her and patted her head with his free hand. Applejack moved toward Apple Bloom but was stopped when the feeling of dread wash over her again, she looked up and saw the soulless mask starring down at her. She backed away slowly from Jason, rubbing her arms as she did so. It was like the temperature in the room had gone down tremendously. Talk about the evil stare. Apple Bloom looked at Jason with a concerned look. She guessed Jason didn't like adults so much. If it was Jason's choice, he would have killed everyone in this room already. Though due to Apple Bloom and her friends being in the room, he would have to save that urge for when their not around.
"How is it possible?" Rarity asked.
"Its because Jason is immortal." said a voice.
The voice sounded motherly and with care in her voice. Everyone turned to see a long flowing pink dress with a white alicorn with a rainbow mane. It was princess Celestia. She had a neutral look on her face. Twilight looed behind the princess to see a few guards were with her. Twilight raised an eye brow.
"Why the guards princess?"
Celestia looked back and then at her faithful student. Her motherly tone had vanished.
"For protection my pupil. From him." Celestia said, pointing at the wolf man.
Jason's head snapped up at the princess. His eyes narrowed and it felt as though someone turned on the air conditioner in the room. Tension had filled the air when Celestia addressed Jason. The guards readied their weapons as they waited to see what the wolf man would do. Jason held his machete tight, he was urging to kill someone and felt like he was about to get that chance. The revenant took a step forward, much to the dismay of the ponies in the room but was blasted by a unicorn soldiers magic. He was sent flying back into the main desk, flipping over and falling on his side. The crusaders looked up at the princess with shocked looks. Celestia looked down at the children with a stern look as though they talked to a stranger they weren't supposed to.
"Listen you three. Jason is evil. I feel a dark power surround him, it is a power that does not need attention."
The feeling dread whenever someone looked at Jason's mask was starting to make sense now. It was because the man was out for their blood. The crusaders couldn't believe what they were hearing.
"But...he didn't want to hurt us."
Celestia's eyes shifted toward the children with love in them. It was obvious they grew a bond to him but she needed to sever that bond and take care of Jason as soon as possible.
"Incoming!" a solider cried.
The chair from the main desk came flying from behind it and hit one of the guards. Standing behind the desk was the most angry revenant Celestia has ever seen. Jason grabbed the bottom of the desk and flipped it out of his way like it weighed nothing. With his machete in hand, he sprint walked toward the princess. Another came forth and clashed blades with Jason's machete. The revenant knocked the sword out of the soldiers hand and punched him full force in the face, a tooth flying from his jaw as he was sent flying across the room and hitting a wall. Celestia gritted her teeth and readied her own weapon. A sun powered battle axe from which she crafted herself. Jason raised his machete and took a swipe at the princess. She blocked it with the axes handle, she held it steady as Jason's strength came down on her. The masked man took a lower swing with his fist but missed as Celestia grabbed him. She then threw Jason out of the hospital and onto the hill.
Jason stood up. The white pony has some nerve attacking him like this. Though he must have some kick to her if she's able to throw him like that. The princess came out of the hospital, her axe readied in her hands as she ran toward Jason. He held his ground as she approached closer and closer toward him. She swung her axe, swiping Jason in his side. Blood coated the end of the axe Celestia pulled her weapon close to her. Jason simply looked at her. She gave a confused looks while Jason retaliated with a swipe of his machete. This time cutting Celestia's arm. She grunted in pain and backed away from the man. Anger burned on her face, Celestia shouted at Jason.
"You will not hurt any pony while I'm alive!"
Jason would have to fix that then. A three small children ran in between the two. Celestia and Jason looked down at the crusaders who were pleading with them to stop.
"Please princess Celestia stop!"
"Jason no!"
"You guys don't have to do this!"
Celestia breathed heavily. It was obvious she needed to make her point more clear.
"Children please! The fact this abomination is alive is a danger to all of Equestria! If I don't-!"
Celestia didn't get to finish her sentence as a broad hand uppercuted her. Sending her flying into the air for a short time before being grabbed by the leg and thrown directly back in the hospital. All looked at the princess who stood up slowly. She spit a pint of blood out of her mouth and looked up at her attacker. Jason was breathing heavy himself and his fist was raised to his chest. All looked in astonishment, seeing the princess take a hit like that and being barely able to stand was sending a message to all of them. The guards, with fury in their eyes looked at Jason.
"Kill this guy!" A guard called.
"STOP!" Boomed a loud voice that sent chills down everyone's spine.
All looked back to see a bloody lipped Celestia.
"Alright, I'll let you live among us Jason. But be warned, if I hear about a pony dead by your hands, my patience will relinquish."
Celestia looked up at Jason who was kneeling and patting the crusaders on their heads with reassurance.
"He's not out for Equestria's blood, but someone in particular."
Along the dark throne room, among two changeling guards at her side. Chrysalis sat with a annoyed look on her face. She wasn't getting anything out of Sombra's little plan and it was starting to come back to bite her in the ass. Most of her changelings were scared straight from Sombra walking around and couldn't get anything done. It was also getting to her how many times she had to spare valuable armor to Sombra's could be repaired. Chrysalis hasn't felt this annoyed with someone since her mating changeling was, in her words, too short for her. Besides that, she needed to play her part in killing Jason as well. From what Krueger had said to her, Jason was easily fooled. Especially if it involved his mother. Krueger's words echoed in Chrysalis head.
"That dimwit cant tell the difference when it comes to his mother. It doesn't matter if she's jumping his ass or being nice to him. Point is, the moron can be tricked easily."
Since being a shape shifter, an idea came to Chrysalis that she knew would work. She had a plan for his immortality as well. If Chrysalis casted the right spell, she could wipe Jason out with one shot. The idea was brilliant and was sure to work. Though she had a problem, what was she going to do about the ponies who companied Jason?
"I have to find a way to get their attention for long enough."
Another idea came to Chrysalis mind. She gave an evil stare at the changeling guard next to her. The guard gulped loudly and sweat dripped down his cheek. Chrysalis rose from her throne and rapped an arm around the guard. She placed a finger to his cheek, leaning in to his ear and whispered in a lusty tone.
"I have a job for you little one."
Sombra paced back and forth inside his quarters. His room was large chamber with a boiling pot in the middle of the room. The walls were riddled with books of dark magic and necromancy. Sombra had been practicing the spells Freddy had given him threw a book called 'The Book of The Dead.'
Freddy even gave Sombra a journal consisting of the most powerful spells. Those consisting of resurrection, voodoo, dark magic, and more. Sombra had mostly been studying the dark magic and resurrection. The voodoo part he didn't pay much attention too because he didn't even know what it was. Sombra flipped through the journal, trying to see a good spell to practice. He came upon a spell that could conjure a demon servant. Sombra scoffed, he wasn't trying that again. He flipped the page again, a saw a spell that could make an unbreakable suit of armor. Sombra booked mark that page with a tab. He didn't see anything else interesting for now but, he made notes about two spells he now knows about.
"Zalgo armor and fire spear."
Sombra gave a wide grin as he closed the book shut. He didn't notice though, were two figures walking past his door down the hallway.
Curiosity was a word Twilight loved to use. She loved being curios and loved learning about everything she could. The masked man in front her was no exception. Of course Jason wasn't the most cooperative with the amount of tests the purple alicorn did on him. Blood tests. Muscular tests. Psychological tests. She didn't get much out of the last one. Twilight used her magic to lift a clipboard to her hand. She wrote down on the board with pencil while Jason sat across from her with the crusaders using the revenant as a jungle gym. Sweetie Bell was over his shoulder. Scootaloo was on top of Jason's head and Apple Bloom was in his lap. Twilight still didn't understand why Jason was so friendly with the crusaders even though he was so hostile toward adults. During the psychological tests, Jason nearly killed one of the girls for reaching a hand to him but when Apple Bloom reached to him, he patted her on the head.
"I don't get it." she said.
Spike looked up from a paper he was drawing on and looked at Twilight.
"Get what? That Jason is someone who just likes kids better then adults."
Spike collected his thoughts and realized how wrong that sentence sounded. Twilight seemed to notice this too and gave him a surprised look. Spike coughed into his fist to relieve the awkwardness in the room. The crusaders were now all sitting on Jason's upper body and were giving Twilight confused looks. The revenant just sat there motionless.
"Why are you so interested in Jason?" Apple Bloom asked.
Twilight took a test tube filled with blood out a bag under her chair and looked closely at it. The color was a darker shade of red Twilight has ever seen, black almost. It was also much thicker then blood should be, almost looking like oil. Twilight slipped a drop of the blood onto a view and slipped it under a magnifier. She squinted her eyes as she observed the blood under the scope. Jason's blood cells were completely discolored. The cells were more maroon with purple centers in the middle of them and they were twice as big as they should have been. It was obvious to Twilight something was wrong with Jason's blood. Either it was infected with a sickness or Jason was just born with a blood problem. The whole scene was astonishing to Twilight. Jason's blood was unnatural and would make it to were no pony could survive its conditions.
"I'm interested in our friend here because his whole system is nothing like I've ever seen!"
The crusaders, including Jason, cocked their heads in confusion. Twilight couldn't even help but think of the moment as adorable. Jason acted as though he had the mind of a child sometimes from what Twilight observed. He would listen to what the girls had to say to him and would let them climb on him without showing any sign of regretting it. What Twilight didn't know was why he wore the mask though. From what the crusaders told her, Jason refuses to take off the mask and doesn't want to talk either. She figured Jason was just shy or antisocial. Her thought changed though when she saw the huge machete Jason carried with him all the time. That she figured, meant he had anger issues. Anger issues she wouldn't want to stir up anytime soon.
A knock at the front door caught Twilights attention. She turned and walked toward the door with a confused look. She wasn't expecting company. Twilight opened the door and was met by a weird sight. A white unicorn, probably the same age as Twilight, with white fur and a blonde mane. Her eyes were like bright yellow jewels. She was wearing a red tank top with blue jeans. Twilight found herself starring in question toward the mare in front of her. The mare looked at Twilight with a happy look that reminded her of Pinkie Pie in a way. Her voice was jovial and void of any other emotion.
"Hey there! I heard the masked guy was here?" she said.
Twilight looked at the mare in front of her with wide eyes. That was something she certainly wasn't expecting.
"Uh...yeah why?" Twilight asked. Placing a hand to her hip.
The mare giggled and crossed her arms behind her back, her bust popping out like balloons as she did.
"I just wanted to show my thanks to him."
Now Twilight was even more flabbergast then before. Now only did this girl want to see a very mentally unstable and highly dangerous undead wolf man. Now that she thinks about it, more weirder things have happened in PonyVille. She thought about it, Twilight was right there and she could easily restrain Jason and keep him like that until he calmed down. Going against her bitter judgment, Twilight stepped aside and let the cheery mare inside her library. Twilight smelled perfume on the mare, not any brand she recognized. The mare made her way toward the main room where she saw her target. The muscular wolf man sat in a chair in near a book case. Three fillies were on a sofa sleeping next to him. The disguised Chrysalis smiled and moved over slowly toward the wolf man, Twilight watching from a distance.
Jason hadn't moved since the girls had gone asleep. He had to admit it, he hasn't felt this calm in years. No sudden urge to mangle or gut anyone. No sudden memories flashing beyond his eyes. Not even hearing that damned voice in his head to order him to kill. For once, Jason felt peace with himself. Now he could concentrate on his own happy memories and remember the good days he had with his mother and, her. Jason couldn't remember who she was. He had know her since he was born, they were friends through childhood all the way until Jason was drowned. Killed by kids his own age, and it was because those damn teenage counselors didn't give a shit that Jason drowned. The only ones that tried to help him were his mother and, her. Jason felt a tap at his shoulder, he looked up to his right and saw a beautiful mare starring at him. The wolf mans vision flashed and the mare was replaced with another equine, the one who looked identical to Apple Bloom. Jason's vision flashed again and he was back in the present. Instead stood a girl who was unknown to Jason. An intruder.
Jason stood as his full height, towering over the mare. His machete clenched his right hand. The mare gave Jason a wide smile and didn't show sign of any fear. She just looked into the masks eye holes and giggled slightly. Jason was used to killing big breasted and airheaded teens before, this wasn't an exception. Twilight and Spike watched from the door way, expecting the worst. What the wolf man didn't expect was the mare got even closer to him. So close in fact, her nose was barely touching Jason's. Under his mask, Jason's eyes went wide. No female had ever gotten this close to him without having his machete driven though them. Jason didn't want to spill blood in front of the crusaders, though he was starting to regret that decision. The mare then did something that made Jason's fur stand on end. She placed her hand on the side of his mask and looked deep into his eyes.
Twilight couldn't believe what she was seeing. This mare was trying to show thanks alright, more thanks then Twilight expected. She then looked at Jason who she felt as starting to get agitated. His chest was puffing in and out and his fur was more spiked then it was. Twilight knew Jason could snap at any second from the look of his body language. She then held her breathe as the mare put her other hand on the other side of Jason's mask. The room was silent but all you could hear was Jason's rapid breathing in his mask. Twilight needed to step in or else Jason would kill the mare.
"Uh...I'm sorry. I didn't catch your name."
The mare looked at Twilight and released her hands from Jason's mask. She turned and crossed her arms.
"I'm Snow Cloud." she said.
Twilight nodded.
"Well, Snow Cloud, um do you want some tea?"
Both mares proceeded into the kitchen, leaving a shocked Jason behind. His breathing hadn't stopped and he was now giving his machete a death grip. Nobody has ever been that friendly to him in his life. Jason felt his heart pumping a million miles an hour. His fur was still on end and felt as though the entire room heated up. A heat, Jason would see will die at the end of his machete.
It was under pitch darkness. Snow Cloud, aka Chrysalis walked away from Twilights library with happy thoughts on her mind. When she touched Jason's mask, she covered his mask in a deadly toxin that could kill a manticore in a few minutes. With the amount Chrysalis put on his mask, he would be dead in a minute. Feeling as though she did a better job then Sombra, Chrysalis hummed a tune to herself. She turned her head and saw herself in a mirror. She stopped and observed herself for a minute. The way she was curved in her waists, her mane, even her breasts, Chrysalis enjoyed looking at all of it.
"I wonder of I should remodel myself to this form."
As she looked into a window of a store, Chrysalis bent over and fiddled with her hair with her fingers. It was then she heard an eerie sound.
Ch. Ch. Ch. Ah. Ah. Ah.
Chrysalis looked behind her, seeing only a dark dirt road and no lights for blocks. She raised an eye brow, shrugging Chrysalis turned back around and continued to mess with her hair. She then heard the same echo but it was much closer this time.
CH. CH. CH. AH. AH. AH.
Chrysalis shot back around and saw the tall wolf man standing motionless on the dirt road. Her blood turned cold and fear surged within her. She turned and ran down the dirt road and into the darkness. She looked behind her and saw the masked wolf man slowly following her. He was walking at a steady pace, not caring Chrysalis was getting ahead of him rather quickly. Chrysalis pushed herself harder to run, she was used to flying and not running which a downfall of her disguise. With her heart pounding, the changeling ran behind a building, laying her back on the wall and putting a hand on her chest. The changeling in disguise composed herself, working up the courage to look around the walls corner. With a deep breathe, Chrysalis turned her head around the corner and looked down the dark dirt road. Nothing to be seem and no sounds. Just that alone was enough to make the changeling even more paranoid. The only thing she could hear was her own heart beat. Not seeing anything, Chrysalis turned her head back around the corner, only to almost have her head sliced in two as a machete came flying toward her head. Chrysalis barely avoided the blade as she rolled to the side.
Jason pried his machete out of the wall and faced the mare in front of him. Rage boiled in his eyes and stepped forward toward the mare, raising his machete high above him. Jason brought down her machete again and missing the mares leg by an inch as she squirmed away from him. The wolf man grabbed the mares leg and threw her down the dirt road. Chrysalis skidded down the road, suffering multiple scraps and bruises. She picked herself up off the ground and narrowed her eyes at the wolf man. Might as well ditch the disguise. Chrysalis surrounded herself in a green energy, transforming herself back to her changeling form. The green energy disappeared and in front of Jason was the changeling queen herself. She smirked at the masked man.
"Well then...now we can get properly acquainted Jason."
The revenant cocked his head at the changeling. The light show was pretty, he gave her that. Her body was just the same as when she was a mare which made the experience of killing her all the more satisfying. It was just another day in Crystal Lake in this case, except the big breasted girl finally grew a pair and is fighting back. Chrysalis spoke again, this time summoning green fire into her hand.
"My name is Queen Chrysalis. Your executioner."
Sombra had been reading through the journal Krueger has given him for hours. Now he knew the spells like the back of his hand. The king now was ready to vanquish Jason and take his mask as a trophy. Sombra clicked his fingers and his hand was engulfed in hell-fire. He said an ancient phrase and the hell-fire turned into a spear with a pitchfork like end. From what the book said, this spear can penetrate the thickest of armor and can cook the victim from the inside out. Needle less the say, their would be a man barbecue when Sombra gets done with Jason. Feeling accomplished, Sombra called to his colleague.
"Chrysalis!" he called.
Their was no answer. Raising an eye brow, Sombra stepped out of his chambers and saw the hallway was filled with changelings. He grabbed one of them by the neck and made them look at him. The changeling was whimpering with fear and sweating profoundly.
"Where is your queen?" he asked.
The changeling gulped.
"She...she is in PonyVille. Fighting the masked man."
Sombra's eyes went wide. Chrysalis was a fool for taking on Jason by herself and not knowing how powerful he was. If she got into fight with him, she would die in no time flat. Sombra dropped the changeling and ran off into the castle, disappearing into a cloud of black smoke.
Luna's moon shined bright over PonyVille. The streets were quiet with no light to be seen for miles. Buildings lay dark with nothing to be heard from inside. Their residents sleeping soundly. Out side however, Queen Chrysalis stood with a wide smirk on her face. Standing before her was Jason Voorhees. The so called immortal revenant. From what Sombra had told her, Jason was a heavy hitter and does a lot more damage if he had his blade with him. Chrysalis made it her top priority to get that blade away from him. Though her combat skills are advanced beyond anything this man has seen, she couldn't be to sure. Chrysalis horn lit up with green energy. She raised her hand and her fingertips touched the energy. A broad organic sword manifested from the energy and was placed in Chrysalis hand. She grinned and swung the sword as a show to Jason. The revenant hadn't moved and wasn't fazed by the intimidation. He simply breathed in and out and his chest raised and lowered with it.
Jason had to give it to Chrysalis, her whole magic trick was impressive. He would be lying if he said he having fun seeing that stuff by now. The more and more times ponies use that stuff on him before fighting him was the best part of the whole fight. Though from the looks of it, this girl was experienced in fighting and wouldn't go down easy. He figured Chrysalis would just be as easy as Sombra. Her flashy moves and tricks wouldn't have effect on Jason like they did on Krueger. Jason gripped his machete started to fast walk toward the pony in front of him. Chrysalis did the same. Both combatants vastly approached each other with their weapons in their hands. Only a few feet away from him, Chrysalis kicked her leg high up in the air and kicked Jason square in the jaw. Sending him staggering and back peddling. The queen took the advantage and kicked him again in the stomach, sending him on his back. Chrysalis stood over him and raised her sword over her head, Jason countered by grabbing her by the leg. She let out a small yelp as Jason spun Chrysalis around until he slammed her on the ground flat on her stomach and breasts. She growled and broke herself free from the wolf mans grip. He raised his machete and swung it down but the bug pony countered with her own sword and collided it with Jason's. The power of the revenant was stronger then anything the queen has ever experienced. The force of the man could rival that of Celestia herself!
The queen kicked Jason in his gut again but this time kicked him straight up toward his jaw. Jason was sent flying off the ground into the air. Chrysalis took her chance, she spread her insect like wings and leaped after Jason. She zoomed over him, gripping her swords with both her hands with the blade pointing toward the man. She brought the sword down with force and impaled Jason through his chest. Blood erupted from his chest and back from the blade as the two fell back to the ground. They hit the ground with force, enough to make a small crater in the dirt road. Chrysalis stood over the man below her and smiled as she saw he wasn't breathing and his body was limp. Feeling accomplished, she kneeled on top of Jason and created a green fire in her hand. She leans in to the man's ear and whispers.
"You. Lose."
Jason's eyes shot open and grabbed the queen by the throat. Chrysalis gagged and chocked and the revenant stood on his feet with the sword still impaled in him and blood leaked down his jacket and shirt. She couldn't believe it. He was still alive. Jason plugged his fist into Chrysalis stomach. She gagged and small amount of light green blood came from her mouth. Jason then retracted his fist and punched her in the face. Chrysalis was sent flying backwards and landing on her side. Chrysalis held her stomach while she laid on her hands and knees. The queen has never felt that type of pain in her life. It felt as though her insides were crushed. She looked up and saw the revenant pulling the sword out of his abdomen. A blood red stream leaking out. He threw the sword to the side and picked up his machete off the ground. Chrysalis staggered to her feet while holding her stomach. Green fire engulfed her hand and Chrysalis shot it toward the revenant. Jason's chest was engulfed in fire and he was sent staggering back. He fixed himself and wiped away the fire off his chest, much to the dismay of Chrysalis.
His jacket was nearly burned away, leaving nothing but his shirt. Black spots of skin showed where his dark grey fur had been burned away. His mask was slightly darker colored because of the fire. Jason pressed toward the queen with his machete to his side. Chrysalis gritted her teeth and grabbed her sword. She held her stomach in pain as she tried to stand on her own feet. At this point, the man was sprint walking toward her and was coming in fast. She didn't know what to do, her strength was decreasing by the minute and the revenant was only a few feet away.
"So this is how it ends?" she said to herself.
Jason stopped only step away from Chrysalis and starred down at her. The queen looked up at the mask man. Staring into the black eye holes of the mask. A feeling of dread washed over her. Jason raised his machete to his side, the blade facing Chrysalis torso. Her views slowly turned toward the blade. It seemed like time slowed down in that moment. The machete came toward the queens torso but at the same time, orange light engulfed half of Chrysalis vision. A spear made of fire came flying next to her head and hitting Jason. Their were three of them. Two landed on his chest, directly on his ribs. The other one landed a straight head-shot in-between his eye holes and going through his head. Blood tried to ooze out but the wounds were burned. Jason fell like a statue and onto his back. The spear in his head pushing itself out of his head as it was pushed between his head and the dirt. Chrysalis observed in shock at the sight. The man who nearly killed her laid on the ground not moving with three spears in him. A voice came from behind her.
"Chrysalis!"
She turned and saw Sombra running toward her with a another spear in his hand. Her mouth was gaped open. The dark stallion ran by her and checked Jason's body. He nodded and looked back toward the queen.
"We have to go, he wont stay down for long and the residents would have heard the noise."
Chrysalis nodded. Sombra grabbed her wrist and the two disappeared into the night in a black cloud of smoke. Just as Sombra predicted, ponies came slowly out of their homes. Obviously knowing about the noise. They came in groups as ponies piled out of their homes and went to the source of the noise. They were shocked to discover a small crater in the middle of the road, small spots of blood, and a dead wolf man with fiery spears in his body. All crowded around the body and stared in shock. Parents brought their kids back inside so they wouldn't see the body. One little girl managed to slip past the crowd and slowly walked over to the body of the masked man. Older ponies wanted to stop her but no one moved. Frozen at the sight. She had in her arms a little bird plushy that she looked at. She smiled and looked back at the wolf man. She grabbed one of his hands and placed her plushy on top of him with his hand covering it. A grown up, her parent crouched down to her.
"Sweetie...what are you doing?"
The girl turned around and smiled at her mother.
"He's sleeping mama. I gave him birdie so he can help him like he does me."
Jason could hear the child's voice in his mind. Her words. Her sweet, kind, and heart felt words caused Jason's eyes to shoot open. Ponies gasped as the revenant shot his body up, still sitting on the ground. He looked down and saw the spears in his body and then at the plushy in his hand. Behind his mask, Jason's eyes were soft. He didn't feel angry that he lost the fight against the bug queen. Instead he felt that same emotion he hadn't felt in years. He slowly stood up on his feet, the crowd backing away slowly as he did so. Jason looked down at the spears, grabbing one with his hand. It disappeared upon touching it. Jason did the same with the others until he was free of them. Two burn marks on his body and his felt the one on his head. That one hurt the worst. He then looked down at the child while looking at the plushy she gave him. The whole time, she was looking up at him and smiling. Jason felt his chest warm up, was he on fire again? No, it was something else.
The masked man knelt down to the filly. He softly patted her head as she giggled softly. The crowd was confused and warm hearted at the same time. Jason stood back up before grabbing his machete off the ground next to him. The crowds nervousness came back full force. Though Jason did nothing but stand their. He reached his arm out to the filly, offering her toy back. She shook her head.
"You keep him mister. You need him more then I do."
The man felt wetness growing in his eyes. Confused, he lifted his free hand and felt in side his mask. A wet stream was flowing down her cheek. His eyes widened. A small smile then formed across his face. Jason put the plushy what was left of his jacket pocket and walked toward Twilight's library. Leaving an entire crowd of PonyVille citizens behind, star struck about what just happened.
"What the name of tarturus were you thinking!?" Sombra screamed.
Chrysalis sat in her thrown with a pouting face while a changeling mended her wounds.
"I tried doing something you weren't able to you twit!" she shot back.
Sombra scoffed and turned his back to the queen.
"Doesn't matter. I have a way to put Jason's immortality to its limits."
Chrysalis raised an eye brow.
"Oh? And how are you going to do that?" she asked with her arms crossed.
Sombra turned around with a devilish grin on his face.
"I'm going to break him down. Piece by piece."
Just as he sad this. He drew his sword from its scabbard and it lit up with a strange red flame. He started to laugh demonically as Chrysalis watched in shock at the display of power the sword created. Now she knew for sure, the revenant wouldn't live much longer.
Amongst the streets of the Crystal Empire, crystal ponies went on with their everyday lives. The shops were trading and selling items. Markey places were selling fresh produce from the farms far away from the city. The citizens in the streets greeted each other with kindness and smiles. Among them was a white stallion with a blue mane, wearing purple armor with gold plates attached to it. He looked relaxed. Feeling the morning breeze against his muzzle, Shining Armor walked down a paved road with market stands on each side. He smiled seeing everypony was so happy. The children were playing together while their parents talked with one another. He continued on his walk, when he spotted a newsstand with a crowd of ponies around it. Confused, Shining Armor made his way toward the stand.
"What's going on here?" he asked.
The young paper colt gave him a newspaper. Shining raised an eye brow.
"You haven't heard the news sir?"
The captain looked down at the paper, seeing a list of names of ponies and their pictures. Each listing how they died.
"Some pony is going around killing around the empire." the colt said.
Shining read on, feeling shocked as he read how each and everyone of the crystal ponies had died. One had been strangled so fiercely, the neck had been broken in two. Another had her arms ripped off with a large slash in her chest. Finally, one pony was decapitated with his head shoved inside his chest. The captain has seen his fair share of disturbing things but reading that little paragraph kicked it up a notch. Shining flipped the page and saw the other news. Though the captains mind was set on something else. These murders were something he needed to look into. He was going to need some support however and he knew who to ask.
Shining Armor made his way down a glistening white crystal hallway toward a sapphire blue door. A stern look on his face. If their was any pony who could give him support it was the ruler of the Crystal Empire, and his wife, Princess Cadence. Shining Armor threw open the doors and saw said wife on her thrown, wearing a gold and purple dress, with a line of different creatures. A griffon, a dragon, and another pony. Cadence had a shocked look on her face and looked very into what the well dressed nobles were telling her. Shining scooted to his right and hid behind a column. The griffon was grey colored with an older and deeper voice. The dragon was a female with dark green scales. Lastly, the pony was wearing a formal suit was black facial hair. The griffon held out a piece of paper.
"As you can see princess, all of our numbers are suffering."
Shining raised an eye brow.
"Indeed. Bodies are being discovered by the minute in my homeland." said the dragon.
Cadence bit her lip and took the paper from the griffons talon. Her eyes scanned the paper frantically.
"I'll...I'll send what ever troops I can, but I don't know how long it will take." Cadence said.
With that, the nobles turned and left the room. Shutting the door behind them. The well dressed pony stayed behind though. He stood like a soldier at ease. Waiting to be acknowledge by the princess. Cadence placed the paper on her arm rest and put her hands to her face. Rubbing her eyes she looked up and smiled.
"You can come out now Shiny!"
Shining Armor tensed up and then let breathe. He slowly came behind the pillar.
"How did you know?"
Cadence smiled and laughed.
"I saw you the moment you opened the door."
Shining crossed his arms and gave a pouting face. Cadence laughed again, getting up from her thrown and making her way toward her husband. The two hugged and shared a kiss before breaking off.
"What was that about anyways?" the captain asks.
Cadence froze. She used her magic and brought the paper over from her thrown. She grabbed it and showed it to Shining. His eyes nearly escaped his head as he saw the image. It was another corpse but it was of a griffon. His wings were gone and so was half of his head. Below it was a comment. Probably from the killer. The writing and style was nothing Shining has ever seen though he could barely make it out.
"1..2...Jason's coming for you?" he said.
"Yes. That was found stuck on a knife and impaled on the corpse." Cadence commented.
Shining felt his heart drop. This was something a serial killer was capable off. Though Equestria was barely a victim to serial killers, but this was good enough evidence.
"How many? Shining said. Looking up at Cadence.
The princess huffed.
"Over twenty found dead with gruesome wounds." she said.
The captain scrunched up the paper and tossed it aside.
"I know what you came for Shiny and their waiting for you inside." Cadence said.
Shining Armor gave a surprised look before smiling. He kissed his wife again before running out of the room while throwing his helmet on. His first plan was going to inform his sister Twilight and her friends. They always know what to do. He was just wishing this killer didn't already get to them. He then remembered the date of which that picture was taken. Yesterday, on the outskirts of PonyVille.
Shining Armor had left the Crystal Empire shortly the next morning. He packed a travel bag of food and clothes, he also packed his weapons just in case. The note Cadence had received had given him chills all through the night. The way it was written and what it said made him feel uneasy. For once Cadence wasn't the only one in trouble it was all of PonyVille. The thought of Twilight and her friends cycled in his mind over and over again without stop. If anything happened to her and Shining was away he wouldn't forgive himself. Though the captain held his bearing at times, the thought of his sister being in danger without her knowing yet was breaking him. Shining Armor walked onto a train at the Crystal Empires station. He moved along the walkway, trying not to step on any ponies hooves in the process. He sat in a seat near a window and placed his baggage in the glove compartment. Shining then laid his head back on the seat, tenderness on his shoulders from carrying his bag for a mile.
Curiosity then made its way into the captains mind. This was the first time Shining has ever heard a pony go by the name Jason. It wasn't common for a name like that to be in Equestria or any other country on Equus. So that only added to the journal of questions that circled this situation. Who ever wrote that note was very bold or very stupid for sending it to the empire. Shining made it his target view to see this situation as a trap and likely his sister doesn't know about this situation. Which only makes things worse. Shining Armor wanted to make his way to PonyVille as soon as possible to make sure his sister is safe and find the bastard who is targeting her. Unpronounced to Shining Armor, an individual in a brown trench coat was watching him from afar. Bright greens eyes shined in the darkness of the coat with razor sharp teeth.
Chrysalis lowered her head slightly to not attract any attention. She had been following Shining Armor since he got on the train and keeping a close eye on him. The queen tried to contain herself from confronting the captain and eating his magic. She had a mission, plain and simple. Lure Shining into PonyVille and have him fight Jason. Once the two are distracted, Sombra will appear and send a army of magic swords at Jason which will tear him to pieces, literally. Chrysalis chuckled in her throat at the thought. Once Jason is killed, Chrysalis will step in and kill Shining from behind. Killing two birds with one stone. She had to give it to Sombra, this plan seemed solid. Though it sounded to good to be true at times. For one thing, how was she going to lure the captain? He was obviously going to Twilight Sparkles home which is wear Jason is stationed. Another problem though is Jason is abnormally strong. She worried if Shining Armor would even be strong enough to fight Jason long enough until Sombra arrived. Again, it sounded to good to be true. Chrysalis snapped out of her thoughts apon feeling the train coming to halt. A wide, toothy grin came over her face.
Shining Armor grabbed his bag and made his way off the train onto PonyVille station. Chrysalis followed close behind. Shining walked down the dirt roads of PonyVille, looking left and right for the familiar tree house. The small village had slightly expanded since he last been their. Their were more buildings then ever and more ponies roaming around. To Shining, it felt like he was in Manehattan though slightly back a few generations. He then saw the tall oak leaves over a small house. A smile came across his face and he jogged around the building and saw it. The tall oak tree with a built in windows and balcony. Over the door was a sign with books and a familiar star cutie mark on it. Shining came to the door, knocking three times before stopping slightly and knocking again. The door swung open immediately and a wide grinning mare was starring into Shining Armors eyes. Before he could speak, the captain was wrapped up in a bear hug that could give an actual bear a run for his money. A squeak escaped Twilight as she suffocated her brother in her hug.
"Shining! Its soooooo good to see you!"
Twilight broke off the hug and invited her brother in. He gladly obliged. The two made their way into the main room when a small dragon the size of Shining's lower body came over the corner. His eyes lit up like the sun and his wrapped his arms around the stallions torso.
"How's it going Shining?" he asked.
Shining Armor laughed and scratched Spikes head.
"Its been doing great Spike. I'm guessing you've been keeping an eye on Twilight?" he said. Giving his sister a playful grin.
Twilight slugged her brother in the shoulder and he chuckled again. Twilights cheeks puffed out and she gave narrowed eye look toward her him.
"Hey I haven't destroyed anything!"
Shining gives Twilight a glint.
"Well...not on purpose anyway."
The two ponies laughed while Spike looked around the room with a concerned look.
"Um, Twilight."
The mare looked down at Spike with a emotionless look. Shining copying her.
"Yeah Spike?"
"Where's Jason and the crusaders?"
Shining's ears perked up as he heard the name. He quickly knelt down to Spike's height at looked at him with determination in his eyes. His voice changed to a firm one.
"What was his name Spike?"
The dragon was caught off guard by the question. He looked behind Shining and saw Twilight with a shocked look. The baby dragon collected himself and looked back at Shining.
"Jason. He's a big, tall, man wearing a mask." Spike said. Waving his arms around in a goofy way.
Shining nodded and made his way to the door before he turned and smiled at his sister.
"Twily I want you to get all your friends together. I might need your help."
Twilight stopped her brother before he even put his hand to the door.
"Wait! Why do you need to find Jason!?"
The captains smiled vanished and instead was replaced with a scowl. He turned his sister with a glint in his eyes.
"I'm going to make sure he doesn't hurt any more ponies."
With that Shining opened the door and walked out, leaving a stunned Twilight and Spike behind.
The crusaders walked down a grassy path. Toward a tree with a wooden structure on top of it. A small ladder leading up to it. The tree house had a small symbol of a shield and sword on the size of it. The crusaders stopped in front of the ladder and faced each other. Looks of wonder on their faces. It had been nearly five hours since they had seen their best masked friend. He hasn't done this before since the crusaders had met him. One morning he just vanished, leaving behind something that made the crusaders worry about him even more. Apple Bloom reached into her backpack and pulled out her friends sword. The crusaders looked down at the blade with sad expressions.
"What do you guys think happened to him? He never leaves anywhere without this thing." Scootaloo said.
Apple Bloom shook her head.
"Ah I don't know ya'll but its been buggin' me since this morning."
Sweetie Belle grabbed onto the ladder and was about to climb up when the sound of twigs breaking caught the trios attention. They screamed and looked around in all directions. Holding each other as they did so. The forest had become silent, nothing the frantic breathing of the crusaders could be heard. A chilling voice was heard from with in the forest.
Ch. Ch. Ch. Ah. Ah. Ah.
The girls screamed again and run up the ladder. Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo were already up the ladder but Apple Bloom tripped when her friends scrambled. She quickly made her way up the latter but was stopped when a cracking sound made her blood run cold. The ladder was breaking off from the tree house. The step under Apple Bloom split in two and the filly fell until she grabbed onto another step. Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle looked over and saw their friend crying in fear and trying to hold into the ladder.
"Apple Bloom! Hang on!" Sweetie called.
Apple Bloom looked up to her friends.
"Help me!"
Another crack was heard and Apple Blooms eyes widened like saucers. The step she grabbed broke in two. Her body became heavy as she fell to the ground. Time slowed down to Apple Bloom. She was nearly at the top of the ladder when it broke and their was still a seven foot drop to the ground. This was a going to hurt. Apple Bloom closed her eyes as she prepared for the impact. However, it never happened. Instead she felt like she was suspended in the air with something holding her from below. Apple Bloom opened her eyes again and looked below her. To her surprise she saw a white mask starring up at her. Jason slowly lowered Apple Bloom to the ground. She looked up at the man with surprise in her eyes. Jason simply cocked his head, he then looked up at saw the other tow crusaders looking at him. He offered his hand to them, offering if they wanted to come down. The girls looked at each other but then smiled as they crawled into Jason's arm and hanged on as he lowered them to the ground.
With all the crusaders on the ground, they all wrapped the mask man in a hug. Jason stood their and looked down at them as he heard hear sobs and sniffles from them. His head was still cocked as looked down at the fillies. He put his hand on top of Apple Blooms head and she looked up at him. Jason then looked to his right and saw his machete on the ground. The crusaders broke off of him and watched he went over and picked it up. With Jason being a little farther away, the crusaders got a new look at him. He had a brand new jacket and shirt on. His jacket was sage and his shirt was black. Jason picked up his machete and looked it over. It seemed to be in tact. Jason lifted a his jacket and showed a sword scabbard. The crusaders gave confused looks as Jason sheathed his machete. The wolf man then turned his attention toward the crusaders, walking to them before stopping and standing their motionless. The crusaders stared up at the wolf man with wide smiles.
Sombra stalked in the shadows of the Everfree Forest. The entire plane was coming together. The note he wrote and sent to the Crystal Empire worked as expected. However he was curious about the said bodies on the note though. For once, Sombra didn't kill some pony to get a message across someone. He just found them like that. Back to the main mission however, Shining Armor was in PonyVille and Jason was near as well. Though Sombra couldn't sense him, he knew Jason was in the forest though Sombra didn't know where. It was like trying to find a masked needle in a haystack. He floated over bushes trying not to make a sound.
He heard something. Sounds of children laughing and running through the bushes. Sombra turned and saw two familiar fillies running wide smiles on their faces. Sombra grinned evilly as he knew who they were. Disappearing into a cloud of smoke, he took to the trees and watched as the fillies stopped under him. He listened in to their them.
"Do you think we lost them?" Sweetie Belle asked.
Scootaloo was breathing heavily and laughing at the same time.
"Are you kidding me? The big guy doesn't even run and Apple Bloom lost us the moment we ran off!"
Sombra ears perked up. The big guy? They must have been talking about Jason. They knew where he was. They would tell him where to find him. Sombra morphed himself back to normal and dropped to the ground in front of the fillies. They screamed and grabbed each other. Sombra grinned and bent over the fillies. His shadow covering them as he did so.
"Hello my pretties."
A sound of fillies screaming for their lives rang out from the forest. It was so loud in fact, Apple Bloom and Jason heard it. The filly stopped dead in her tracks and listened. She never heard anything like that before. Jason looked around as well but gripping the handle of his machete just in case. Apple Bloom knew who screamed.
"We have to find Sweetie Belle and Scoots as soon as possible!"
Jason looked down at the filly and watched as she ran off toward to where the screams came from. Jason followed close behind. Apple Bloom ran until she came to a tree and felt like she stepped on something soft. She looked down and saw something that made her eyes tear up. Jason caught up top the filly and watched as she kneeled and picked something up from the ground. She turned to him on the verge of crying as she held out a pink bow in her hands. Jason's head snapped to the bow and then back to her eyes. His breathing increased and his anger boiled. A demonic sounding laughter was heard through the forest. Jason drew his machete and turned toward the laughing. He didn't have time to comprehend what happened when a black cloud came from the trees and carrying Jason through and breaking him through trees.
"Jason!" Apple Bloom cried.
The black cloud stopped and Jason was thrown far into the forest. He landed on his back and skidded across a wide open field on his back. Jason flipped and landed flat on his mask. The revenant could feel some of his bones were broken. Jason slowly got up, holding his arm as he did so. A irritating voice then rang out to the revenant.
"Hey! Asshole!"
Jason snapped his attention to the sound with a scowl under his mask, making his arm violently crack as he did so. Sombra stood in a opening in the forest. Behind him was a clear view of a farm in the distance. He laughed and disappeared into a another cloud of smoke. Jason's anger boiled and started to sprint walk. Following the dark stallion with intention to kill him.
Saying Jason was mad was an understatement. He was on the verge of losing all set of mind that he had left. He wanted to strangle the next fucker that messed with him. He wanted to rip someone's arms off and strangle them with their own intestines. He was going to tear them apart, literally. Jason was more then angry, he was furious. Sombra had gone to far, he harmed the crusaders or even killed them. If Sombra killed them. All the remaining humanity he had would be gone and he would kill everything in sight. Jason didn't want that, not yet anyway. If circumstances needed it, he would kill some one no matter who it was and wouldn't give a shit of what the ponies thought of him. Though he did care about what the crusaders thought of him. He didn't want to be separated from them, not yet anyway. As soon as Jason finds out why he's so confined to staying with them, he wont be able to leave. As soon as he does though, he will have to leave and probably never return. But that's not the situation right now. Right now he needed to chase Sombra and finish him.
Jason walked until he was in a area of vast rows of apple trees on hills. The aroma of the apples was sweet and mouth watering to the revenant. It was, interesting to say the least. Jason hasn't eaten for years yet he was able to maintain his build. He shacked his head, he was getting off track again. Jason looked around, trying to see the black cloud that he had been chasing. He couldn't see it anywhere. Anger boiling within him and he punched the tree next to him with the side of his fist. A mocking tone of a voice then spoke with in the forest.
"Awww...isn't this adorable."
Jason turned around with a glint in his eyes and saw the stallion he was chasing. Sombra had a smug look on his face and was holding something in his right hand. Jason's eyes snapped to his hand as Sombra lifted up. It was a handful of purple and white hair intertwined with each other. Jason's anger was on its breaking point. If Sombra did anything to the crusaders, he would rip him limb from limb. He laughed and tossed the hair to the side. Sombra then drew an axe from his back and out his hand up to Jason in a mocking way. Jason clenched his fist and his machete and made his way to the stallion. Jason swung his machete with tremendous power but the stallion avoided it and the blade impacted the ground was got itself stuck. Sombra laughed and kicked the Jason in his side, sending the revenant flying into a tree. He fell to the ground but got up faster. Sombra was already pursuing him, he swung his axe over the man and sliced in to his shoulder. He then proceeded to punch the masked man in the face repeatedly. Jason's head knocked back and forth from the hits, hitting the tree bark behind him. On the last swing, Jason grabbed Sombra's hand and bent it a way it shouldn't have. A violent crack came from Sombra's wrist and he screamed in agony. Jason then took his own fist and punched Sombra square in the nose.
The stallion staggered back, holding his now broken and bleeding nose. He growled and lit his horn with red energy. The axe that was impaled In the revenants shoulder pulled itself out and shot over to Sombra's hand. Jason's shoulder was covered In blood and a black slash was in the middle of it. He got up and sprint walked over to Sombra. The stallion swung his axe but it was blocked by a machete. The king elbowed the revenant in the face and then punched him in the gut. Jason retaliated by upper cutting the stallion in the jaw before grabbing his leg and began spinning him around. Sombra groaned from the motion as Jason let him and go and he burst through a tree knocking it over. He picked himself up but didn't have enough time to react as Jason grabbed him again. Sombra struggled In his grip but started to scream in pain as Jason stabbed him over and over again with his machete. The revenant then kicked the stallion off his machete and he did a barrel roll on the ground. Sombra was on his hands and knees looking down at his stomach, their were four stabs wounds and was bleeding intensely and showing no sign of ending. He turned his head and saw the revenant coming toward him again. Sombra grabbed his axe and threw it at Jason. The axe hit its mark into Jason's chest. Blood leaked out and small red cloud erupted from the wolf mans chest. He looked down at the blade and cocked his head. He then snapped his head back at Sombra. The revenant then pulled the axe out of his chest and threw it to the side. For some reason, Sombra could tell the revenant was smiling under his mask.
"Oh brilliant." Sombra said.
Shining Armor had been wondering around for ages. He had gone around asking ponies about Jason all with the same story. He was this tall, muscular, white creature with a mask and sword. Shining didn't even want to recall the times some mares even blushed at the thought of remembering the killer. Shining thought it was redundant that mares were getting excited about this guy. They said he didn't talk much or even at all at times. Dead end after another, it was really starting to get to the captain. He needed to find this killer before he killed another pony, griffon, or dragon. How he could kill a dragon so brutally was scary at the thought to Shining Armor. Jason must be extremely strong and must not be easy to take down. Shining made it his objective to use a paralyzing spell on Jason if things got to rough, which he knew it would. Shining snapped out of his trance of mind and saw he was near a range like area with apple trees covering the hills. Sweet Apple Acres came to his mind. Such a beautiful area, anybody could enjoy this scenery if they tried. Though the captain didn't know if muffled screams counted as relaxing. Shining took a second to hear to the muffled noises. It sounded as though some pony was wearing a gag or something was covering their mouth. He looked until he looked up into a tree that was under him. The sight made his eyes grew wide. Two fillies were tied up to each other and were hanging in the tree.
After Shining had cut down Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo, they had told him what had happened. It was impossible. King Sombra had returned? How could that have been possible though? He was destroyed with by the Crystal Heart. Shining had to look into it later but for now he needed to find Sombra and Jason. An agonizing scream caught Shining's ears and made him turn towards the hills of apples trees.
"We've been hearing those screams for the past few minutes." Sweetie Belle said.
Shining Armor narrowed his eyes. He then turned his attention back to the crusaders.
"I want you two find Twilight and her friends and-"
Shining didn't get to finish as a small voice rang out from behind him.
"Girls!"
Shining turned around and saw another filly with red hair and bow running toward them. The other two fillies nearly tackles each other as they wrapped each other in hugs and were sobbing.
"I thought you guys were dead!" Apple Bloom said.
The other two wiped away tears and looked at their friend.
"Well we thought we were when King Sombra grabbed us but all he did was tear off pieces of out hair and tie us up." Scootaloo said.
Apple Blooms expression soon turned to worry.
"Wait...where's Jason?"
Shining Armors attention was caught then. He quickly made his way to Apple Bloom and gazed down at her.
"Apple Bloom please. Where did you last see Jason!?"
The filly's eyes grew to the size of saucers as the captain of the guard was giving her look that meant he means business. Apple Bloom didn't see a way out of this so she pointed toward a flat area in the acres. Shining Armor drew his sword and sprinted toward where the filly had told him. The captain tried not to stumble over bushes as he walked threw the forest. The sounds of bushes and twigs breaking had stopped for an unusual amount of time now. It was unnerving to say the least. He expected to hear the sounds of battle and trees falling over. But their was nothing. Shining stopped and listened, the sounds of the birds and wind was like melody created by Celestia herself. Though the captain then heard something. It sounded like blades clashing against each other. Shining followed the sound but it was near impossible to determine an exact location. A deep voice then caught his attention that he knew anywhere.
"Why wont you die!?"
Shining Armor ran toward the voice and the sounds of blades clashing became more clear. He also heard the sounds of flesh being hit. He got to a clearing and saw two figures looking at each other. King Sombra was bleeding from the torso and nose with a few scratches on him. His armor was dented and his cape was ripped in two. Jason was covered in slash marks and his jacket was riddled with blood. Shining couldn't watch anymore. He needed to move in. The white stallion emerged from the brush and held his sword out toward the two. He spoke with order in his voice.
"I'm placing you two under arrest!"
Both figures just looked at him. Sombra giving a shocked look and Jason was looking at him with a slouch.
"Really now boy? Cant you see we adults are discussing something?" Sombra spoke.
Shining Armor had a glint in his eyes.
"You I will deal with later! Jason is my prime concern right now!"
Just as he said that. A large fist came from nowhere and punched him square in the jaw. Shining Armor was sent flying and landed on his side. The stallion looked and saw Jason with his fist clenched. He growled and stood on his feet. Sombra then swung his sword at Shining, he blocked it and the two stallions were locked in each others strength. Jason looked next to him and saw a small dagger on the ground with a sun seal on it. An idea came to his mind then. Duel wielding was something Jason only did once but when he did, he got satisfying results. The wolf man picked up the knife with his free hand and walked over to the two stallions. Shining Armor saw the revenant in the corner of his eye. He jerked himself back in time as Jason sent down both his blades. The knife impaled itself in Sombra's arm while the machete missed. The dark stallion growled and looked up at the man. He elbowed him on the jaw and Jason staggered back. Sombra then proceeded to slash Jason with his axe. Red clouds engulfed Jason's body as Sombra swung at him. The revenant then grabbed the axe when it came down again, he prided it from the dark stallions grip and this time, stuck the axe in Sombra's shoulder. He shrieked in pain and collapsed from the force of it. His arm would have been token off with Jason was stronger. The revenant cocked his head and kicked the downed stallion in the chest. Sombra rolled several times before colliding face first into a tree.
As his body fell to the ground, Shining Armor made his move on Jason. He swung his sword in all directions, hitting the wolf man in his back. Jason flinched before turning a full one hundred and eighty degrees and socking the stallion in the chest. Shining flipped backwards and landed on his back. Jason picked him up by his neck and lifted him high in the air. The wolf man then punched him three times in the face, blood coming from him with every punch. He then threw the stallion in front of him. Shining Armor put a hand to his face. His nose was broken and his jaw was stinging. He may have a busted lip. The stallion felt his leg being grabbed and before he knew it, Shining was being tossed around like a rag doll. He was flipped on his stomach, this his back, and onto his stomach again before the wolf man tossing him around finally threw him again and this time he hit a tree. Shining fell to the ground unconscious. With a nod from Jason, the revenant turned around and saw Sombra coming at him with his axe. Jason was to slow however to react as Sombra swung his axe and hit him directly in the face. Jason soon felt something leave his face. A breeze washed over his nose and eyes. His eyes widened as he lifted a hand to his face. His didn't feel the plastic of his mask, but instead, it was his fur.
Sombra breathed heavily from the power he committed to that swing. He started to chuckle as he looked up at his enemy. His face was covered from the shadow of the trees but Sombra could tell something was wrong. The energy, the feeling around him had changed. It was like Sombra did something he felt he should never do in his life. He then looked to the ground and saw Jason's mask lying on the ground with a large white scratch on it. Sombra felt his heart drop. He backed away slowly from Jason as he could see his fist was clenched and it started to tremble.
"Oh...shit."
Without a chance to react, Jason punched Sombra in his face and he was sent flying farther then anything he was ever thrown. Sombra went blasting off again as he was out of sight in an instant. Jason slowed his breathing and made his way over to his mask. He picked it up and out it on without hesitating. He then looked at the white stallion behind him.
Shining slowly got up and held his side. Jason grabbed his machete off the ground and made his way over to him. Shining Armors horn lit up with blue magic and he blasted Jason with a spell that made all of Jason's body freeze. The revenant found himself falling backwards. Exhaustion came over Jason from the fight and the revenant found himself slipping into a deep sleep. The last thing he saw a Shining Armor standing over him with a scowl and saying something.
"You better hope I don't kill you before we get to the Crystal Empire."
If stress was something Cadence was supposed to get used to, she would be an old lady by then. It had been hours since Shining Armor left to find the serial killer that went by the name Jason. It wasn't like him to be this late. Cadence walked down a purple colored hallway, her eyes gazed apon gold banners hanging from the walls with the crystal heart in the middle with wings surrounding it. She signed and continued to walk with new thoughts in her mind.
"I hope nothing happened to Shiny. I hope he's okay." she thought.
The princess then felt she ran into something large. She backed away, running her nose, she looked up at the figured and her eyes went wide with shock. It was her husband, Shining Armor, but he was badly hurt. His side was leaking blood and so was his nose. Parts of his armor were bent and his had the nastiest looking black eye the princess has ever seen. The captain was practically leaning on his not broken leg. Cadence heart skipped a beat when Shining collapsed on her. The princess held him up the best she could but he was heavier then he looked. Cadence called for guards and they rushed over to assist. The guards hung Shining's arms around them and held him up. The captain coughed and mumbled something Cadence heard only part of.
"Jason...in...main..."
Shining Armors head slumped over on his chest and his fell unconscious. Cadence gasped and clasped her hands to her mouth. The guards then ran off, sprinting toward the infirmary with the captains hooves dragging on the floor. The words Shining had said to her turned her fear turn rage. Cadence turned and made her way down a long corridor, heading toward the main room of the castle. She burst open the doors to reveal over a dozen guards in a circle formation and towns people surrounding them. The princes narrowed her eyes and made her way toward the circle. Crystal ponies moved out of her way as she went, seeing her look of anger apon her face. She reached the circle and looked at one of the guards. He looked down at her and nodded. The large guard shouted to the others and the princess was let in through a little path. In the middle of the guards circle was a large metal slab with an equally large wolf man on it. His entire was restrained by metal grips that looked as though the circulation to his blood was being cut off. His clothes were ripped and coated in dry blood stains. What made Cadence feel more uneasy though was the menacing looking mask on the wolf mans face.
Cadence look of anger was changed to one of caution. Jason had a weird energy surrounding him. She could feel it. It felt, dark and ominous. Cadence gulped and walked toward the wolf man. His size was enough to rival her husbands. The masked man looked down at the princess, the energy she felt earlier got even thicker and soon Cadence was regretting her choice of getting this close to him. A strange, whisper then made its way into the princess ear. Sending chills down her spine.
Ch. Ch. Ch. Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah.
Cadence held her ground as she looked over the man. Cadence slowly raised her hand and gripped the Jason's head. Behind his mask, Jason's eyes were wide with anger. This mare was looking him over like some sort of veterinarian with an animal. Cadence used both her heads, and looked through Jason's clothing. She noticed some strange scars were all over Jason's head and neck. They looked like sword cuts. Cadence pulled herself back and then looked directly at the frowning mask that was looking at her. That mask was considered evidence for the trail she would put the man through. Figuring the guards didn't know, Cadence reached for the mask.
Jason's anger was on its breaking point. The mare in front of him was reaching for his mask, she wanted to take it off he figured. Jason used his strength and pushed against the metal restraints that were wrapped around his wrists and ankles. The masked man could feel his power was getting the best of the restraints, the sounds of the cracking and breaking of the metal was music to the revenants ears. Cadence doubled back as some of restraints were sent flying toward her but missed. She watched as the man broke free from the slab. Guards turned and drew their weapons as Jason jumped off the slab and landed on his feet. The revenant moved his head from side to side, feeling noticeable cracks coming from his neck. One of the guards charged the masked man with a sword end pointed toward him. Jason dodged the blade and grabbed the guard by the neck. With a flick of his wrist, the guard was tossed into the crowd of his fellow soldiers. Picking up his machete. More guards charged him at once and Jason swung his sword from side to side. Blood was flying in the air like ocean waves as more guards went down. Jason grabbed a guard by the neck and choke slammed him on the ground. An vulgar crunch could be heard from the neck of the guard as he fell to the ground. Cadence watched from afar at the horrific scene before her. Her soldiers who tried years with weaponry and combat, were dying left and right because of a man behind a mask. Cadence then narrowed her eyes. If you want something done, you had to do it yourself.
Sombra grabbed the wall next to him, holding his side to stop the bleeding from the slashes Jason's machete had left in him. To take four stabs and survive through the amount of blood he had lost is shocking to the dark stallion. Sombra coughed and tried to pull himself up. He used what strength he had and lifted himself off the wall. The king stood up straight and took in a deep breathe. He lifted his hand way from his stomach and saw the four large dark red gashes. Blood trickled down his armor and down his fingers. Sombra growled in pain as he tried to walk forward. Fed up with the pain, Sombra concentrated and his horn lit up with a red light. He looked toward his hand and the light moved toward his palm in a sphere shape. Sombra swiftly put the sphere on his wounds and he groaned in pain as the gashes closed under his armor. Sombra screamed in pain as blood evaporated off his body and turned into black smoke. He gasped and he leaned on his back, breathing heavily. The king opened his eyes and saw he was under the same place he was last time. Under the Crystal Empire somewhere. But this time it was different. The walls were covered in strange colored drawings that looked like a school child did it. He saw himself, and then he saw Jason. They were fighting in the same dream world they first fought in. The king moved his head with the pictures. They proceeded to show everything that happened since Jason had been pulled into Equestria. Sombra then saw Jason was facing that damned Princess Cadence. He laughed at the thought of her being killed by the revenant.
"Finally." he laughed.
Sombra then turned his head and saw something strange. Nothing was next. Like the story was still in development. Sombra narrowed his eyes and growled. He then heard a soft, yet eerie voice behind him.
"Are you Jason's friend?"
Sombra turned and saw a little filly standing behind him, holding a stuffed bear in her arms. She had black hair with a red bow on her head. Her fur was white and her eyes were colored the same as her bow. She had a small on her face. Sombra growled and faced away from her.
"Be gone child! I have no time for you." he said with a growl.
The child simply laughed and ran up next to Sombra. She looked at the wall with the king and cocked her head. The king saw this in the corner of his eye and turned toward her with a confused look.
"Jason is the bravest boy I know! Even though he isn't normal like most people, he has a big heart!" she said. Sprouting her arms high above her with a wide grin.
Sombra found himself scooting away from the child, she copied him. The king growled and looked at her.
"Why are you here anyway!?" he growled.
The girl pushed back Sombra's nose and laughed. The king raised an eye brow.
"I came here to find Jason so we can be friends again." she said.
Sombra looked back to the wall. A new design was there but it was far to the right of any of the other pictures. It was unmasked Jason holding the filly in his arms. Sombra's eyes went wide and quickly turned toward the filly but found that she was gone. Sombra looked around everywhere and saw nothing but the stuffed bear next to him. He gave a shocked look at who, or what he just talked with. A spirit? That was the only thing Sombra thought of as he gazed at the wall in front of him and looking at the picture of his foe hugging the child. Was this wall some sort of timeline? If that was the case, then that event with Cadence and Jason should be happening right now. The king then saw colors forming on the wall. The lines were slowly being drawn with small children laughing around him. The picture finished, it was of Jason and Cadence in a battle pose.
Sombra found himself staring in shock at the sight. That only met one thing. He was right under the battle.
Cadence glided down a street of the Crystal Empires town. With a sword held firmly in her hand, she stopped herself on landed on her hooves. Jason was hot on her trail. Knocking down guards from left and right. Their blood acting as paint and the pavement of the streets was the canvas and Jason's machete was the brush. The man was sprint walking toward the princess with an agenda to kill her. She is working with Sombra, Jason was sure of it. She brought him here so Sombra could kill him. Well, that agenda wouldn't be completed this day. The revenant would make sure if that.
Cadence prepared herself as Jason raised his machete over his head. He strikes but is blocked by the princess sword. The two stare each other down for a moment before Cadence kicked the man in the stomach. Jason reeled back from the attack, the princess took the chance and used her wings to fly in the air and began spinning with her legs out, kicking Jason in his mask until he fell on his back. Cadence landed on her hooves and stared as Jason quickly got up as though it didn't hurt him at all. Cadence groaned in annoyance.
"Why...wont...you...stay...down?" she huffed.
Jason walked toward the princess with an angry energy surrounding him. Cadence would be lying is she said she wasn't on edge right now. The wolf man was far more powerful then she anticipated. His strength was unbelievable and his endurance could rival a dragons. Jason was no push over. When she hit him, he hit her back. It was back and forth between the two for nearly an hour. Cadence wiped away sweat from her forehead and rotated her arm until she heard a small pop from her shoulder. Her dress was ripped and torn with small scraps and bruises on her arms and legs. Jason was barely battle damaged. Only his jacket had a few cuts in it. It was obvious who was winning in this situation.
Cadence charged with her sword at her side. The revenant just stood there and his machete slightly raised, pointing toward the princess. Cadence leaped in the air with her sword raised over her head the blade facing Jason. The wolf man lifted his machete to his chest with the sharp end facing Cadences chest. Time slowed down as both the blades came closer to their destinations.
"STOP!"
Jason snapped his head to his right and was met with little and big eyes staring at him. Under his mask, his eyes were wide with shock as he stared into the crusaders eyes. His vision was snapped back to Cadence as he could feel her sword pierce his heart and came out of his back. Blood spewed out like leaking pipe. The pink princess smiled as it looked to be her victory. That wasn't until the masked man plunged his fist with a final effort deep into her stomach. The princess suddenly gagged and released her sword and backed away, holding her stomach tightly. A small pint of blood flying out of her muzzle. Jason's hearing was cut and all he could see were the screaming and crying faces of the crusaders as he fell to the ground, dead. Applejack, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash were keeping the crusaders away from the corpse, Twilight walked up to Cadence as she took the sword out of Jason's chest. A puddle of blood forming under Jason.
"Cadence...I'm..."
Her sister in law put a hand to Twilights shoulder and gave her a warm look.
"Twilight...its fine. It had to be done, even of you and your friends came."
The two looked toward the crying crusaders in their sisters arms. It was an unbearable sight. A deep laughter was then heard from the shadows of the town. Every one looked around in fear as black clouds formed around them. Cadence eyes grew wide with fear as she knew these clouds all to well. A dark grey face formed in the cloud and soon green and purple eyes formed as well.
"No...It...cant be!"
Sombra laughed manically as he looked down on the ponies in front of him.
"You idiots did it! You finally killed that bastard!"
All the ponies looked at Jason's corpse. Apple Bloom broke away from her sisters chest and looked up at Sombra.
"But...Jason cant die!"
Sombra simply laughed.
"Your so naïve child. Jason's immortality can only help him with minor injuries...not death."
Apple Blooms face melted into sadness and fell to her knees, sobbing. Cadence gritted her teeth.
"Sombra! Your the reason Jason is here!?"
Sombra formed himself into his figure and stood at his full height. A wide evil grin staring at them all.
"Of course, but however he came here to kill me after I tried to take control of him. But thanks to you fools, I wont have to worry now."
The stallion then disappeared into a black cloud and into the shadows of the town. Everypony stared in shock at what they just saw, the sound of the crusaders crying was the only thing that could be heard.
Apple Bloom looked over her friends corpse on a stone bed. His arms were laid on his stomach in a peaceful position, meaning to signify he was at peace finally. Apple Bloom however, didn't want him to be gone. Not just yet. She barely knew him but pretty much everything about him. It was like they knew each other since childhood. It was odd to say the least. None the less, Apple Bloom sat on the edge of the stone bed, nearly sitting on the man's boot. Her look was full of depression and agony. She forgot how long she had been sitting there, minutes, hours, she didn't know. The filly was token out if her trance as she felt a hand to her shoulder. Apple Bloom wiped her eyes and looked behind her to see her sister looking at her. She smiled down at Apple Bloom the best she could.
"Apple Bloom...the princess is asking for every ponies attention."
The filly nodded and turned her body around to see the princess Celestia, Luna, Cadence, and Twilight in a line and looking at the rest of the main six and crusaders. Celestia spoke up first.
"As you all know my little ponies, Sombra has returned." she said.
Every one looked at each other with worried expressions. Luna spoke next.
"And it seems our only way to be rid of him was Sir Jason." she said with a guilty look.
Everyone looked at the deadman on the bed. Apple Bloom snapped back to the princesses, rubbing her shoulders with discomfort. Sweetie Belle was hugged by her sister Rarity, and Scootaloo clenched her fists. Cadence was next to speak.
"I...would like to apologize for this act. I didn't not know Jason was acting against Sombra. If I had knew that, I would have simply injured him."
Apple Bloom wanted to shout at the princess. She wanted to spout everything she was keeping inside herself right now. The feeling was unbearable. Apple Jack shook her sister and was back to reality. Finally, Twilight was the last one to speak.
"We think Sombra is planning to attack the Crystal Empire."
Everyone gasped and Twilight continued.
"From what we gathered, Sombra was trying to recruit Jason to help him but it didn't work somehow. We figured something went wrong during his attempt to take control of him."
Scootaloo raised her hand and Celestia pointed to her.
"How do we bring Jason back then? Its obvious he's the only one that can really hurt Sombra without the Crystal Heart so how do we win?"
That was the question that stumped the princesses. Death couldn't be reversed, not even for Jason. What Scootaloo said was true however. Jason was powerful enough to destroyed Sombra but he was no longer alive so it was almost impossible to do so now. At least, not with the Crystal Heart intact. If it was used to distinguish Sombra again, it would be destroyed. The princesses couldn't risk that even if Sombra returned again. Which he would. It was obvious what needed to be done.
"We will need to...resurrect him." Celestia said.
Every gazed, including the other princesses. It was something she hoped would never have to do. It was the last resort it seemed. Twilight stepped into Celestia's sight. A frantic look on her face.
"Princess! We don't even know if that's possible!"
A small eerie voice then came from behind the princess. Chills running up their spines.
"I know what you can do!"
Every pony screamed and turned to see a white, earth pony filly. Holding a bear in her arms and with a red bow in her hair. Apple Jack shook her head frantically as her jaw dropped. She looked exactly like Apple Bloom, but with different features. Her eyes were crimson red and her hair was jet black. Her white fur was already established but the stuffed bear in her hands was something Apple Jack couldn't understand. She looked like just the same age as Apple Bloom so why did she still need a stuffed bear? Celestia crouched down to the and gave her best motherly tone.
"Hello there little one. Did you hear everything we have said?"
The filly nodded with a wide grin on her face. She then walked over to the stone bed where Jason's body was placed. She climbed the stone bed until she was sitting next to the body. Everyone watched as the filly looked down upon Jason. Everyone in the room then heard her leaned in to Jason's mask.
"Its been a long time Jason. How you been?"
It was like the filly was talking to Jason like they knew each other. Twilight stepped forward.
"How do you know him?"
The little girl turned toward the group, her smile not fading.
"Me and Jason have been friends since we were babies." she said.
Jaws hit the floor like sandbags and the filly giggled into her bear. An idea then struck Celestia's mind.
"If...that's the case. How are you here? Were you sucked through as well?"
The filly laughed and shook her head. Confusion swirled in everyone's mind.
"How are you here then?" Rainbow Dash asks.
Her smile faded the minute she was asked that. It was replaced with a look of pure sadness. The feeling in the room was turned into one of pure depression and the temperature dropped violently. Celestia herself was shivering from the cold.
"It...was the day Jason drowned." she said. The room went silent.
"I went to Ms. Voorhees cabin to see if she was alright, but...she didn't answer. I opened the door to see...blood."
She gripped her bear tighter and fear was heard with in her voice.
"She had a knife in her hand and...people were...shredded and...dead."
Soft sobs could be heard from the filly as she started to shudder. Any heat in the room had vanished and was replaced with pure cold and the feeling in the room was sad, and fearful. The filly continued.
"She looked at me...and gave me the evilest smile I've ever seen. What she did next..."
Twilight stepped in before she knew what she was doing.
"You don't need to finish!"
The filly looked up at Twilight but her eyes were changed. Her entire eyes were blood with pitch black dots for pupils. Everyone froze. Red streams of liquid moved down from the fillies eyes. She was crying blood. She stopped Twilight.
"Please...let me finish. " she said.
Twilight didn't know what else to do. Afraid she would upset the other worldly filly, she stepped back.
"Ms. Voorhees...cut me. Right in my belly. I didn't know what else happened after that. All I remember was waking up on Jason's bed and following him through out his life and now to here."
The room fell silent again. Some of the ponies were trying not to burst into tears upon hearing the story. Even some of the princesses were trying not to loose themselves. The thought of a an adult killing a child who was friends of their own son was...disturbing. Filly wiped away her tears and looked up at the ponies in front of her. Her sadness had disappeared and was replaced with her cheerful smile from before. The feeling in the room had gone back to normal, same with the temperature. A mood swing probably. Luna then stepped forward the filly and crouched to her height. Her own loving smile on her face.
"Forgive our manners little one. What is your name?"
The filly giggled.
"Layla."
Luna giggled and her smile grew larger.
"That is a lovely name. Now then Layla, how do we bring Jason back?"
The filly giggled again and looked at Jason's mask. She then looked back at Luna.
"Have you ever heard the term lighting never strikes twice?"
King Sombra, feeling triumph, formed out of his black cloud and landed on his hooves. The evil grin on his face acting as though it was molded on there. He chuckled, dancing and moving his body from side to side. He hummed a catchy tune as he danced down the hallway toward Chrysalis throne room. Every time he passed a changeling, they would look at him like he lost his mind. The king put both his hands to the door before whispering the final tune to his song.
"Hooked on a feelin..."
The king threw open the door and he stopped dead in his tracks. Chrysalis face was crimson red with embarrassment, she was sitting naked with bubbles covering her body in gothic looking tub in the thrown room. Next to her was a changeling holding a sponge. The queen suddenly sprang up with an angry posture. Sombra couldn't hear what she was saying as the bubbles slowly faded away from her body. A slow smirk found its way to the kings face and leaned against the open door, crossing his arms. The queen stopped her rambling from seeing the look Sombra was giving her. Confused she looked down to see all the bubbles had completely disappeared and she was standing completely naked and dripping wet from her head down to her legs. Sombra has never seen that deep shade of red in his life. It was like all the blood from Chrysalis body had gone to her head. The queen squealed and quickly ducked back into the water. The changeling behind her was drooling and his mouth was practically hitting the ground.
"You'd think these bugs would be prone to seeing her body in the nude by now." Sombra thought.
Chrysalis leaned into the changelings ear and whispered something. He saluted her and ran off from the room. Chrysalis grabbed a dark green towel from the towel racket on the tub, she looked at Sombra with a glint in her eyes. Sombra rolled his eyes and turned around. Chrysalis stood up in the tub and wrapped the towel around her breasts. She coughed in her hand and the king turned back around.
"Mind telling me why you barged in on...um...me time." she said.
Sombra chuckled and walked over to the tub. The queens face was burning as the stallion approached the tub. Her feet were cold from standing in the water and her towel was well soaked by her body by now. Sombra stopped at the rim of the tub, nearly touching muzzles with Chrysalis. Her cheeks were on fire by this point. Sombra leaned into her ear and Chrysalis froze.
"Guess who just died." he whispered.
The stallion leaned back and laughed as he walked away from the tub. With a confused look on her face, Chrysalis stepped out of the tub, still holding the towel around her breasts. She stared as Sombra walked to a window in the throne room with a smile on his face. She's never seen him to happy before. It was like he was crowned king of Equestria, like that would ever happen. Sombra then turned toward the towel covered changeling with a devilish grin. Chrysalis felt her body tense up.
"Jason Voorhees has been vanquished by those ponies."
The queens expression changed on a dime. Her look was pure shock. Out of anyone to kill the wolf man, the ponies did it? This was an unexpected event that was for sure. Chrysalis was sure that if the ponies interfered they would perish but instead it was the opposite, they successfully killed Jason. For some reason, the queen has some new found respect for the ponies. A new idea then came to her mind. An evil smile the made its way to Chrysalis face. Sombra looked over and saw the grin and raised an eye brow. The queen rubbed her hands together in an evil manner.
"With our new found threat eliminated, and the ponies of their guard, we will invade the Crystal Empire and take control!" she said.
Chrysalis looked at Sombra but found his pupils were wide and his mouth was slightly gaped. She raised an eye brow.
"What are you looking at?"
Sombra coughed and pointed to her body.
"I would have ever imagined your a D size my dear." he said.
The queens face burned and she looked down, only to be met with her naked breasts. She squealed and picked up her towel off the ground. She ran off toward her quarters, leaving Sombra behind to laugh till tears came to his eyes.
It was insane, yet brilliant. It defined everything Twilight has ever learned about science. Reincarnation, something that wasn't scientifically possible. Though, it seemed science would have to denied for now. Now, the supernatural elements were in charge. Following Layla's directions, the main six and accompanied by the cutie mark crusaders, followed a path along the Everfree Forest after dusk. Carrying the body of Jason in a small cart which was pulled by Spike. The path was desolate, looking as though it hadn't been used in years or even centuries. An owl hooted in the distance, scaring the ponies out of their fur. Meanwhile Pinkie Pie was laughing. Rainbow Dash looks at her friend with an unamused look.
"I can never understand how you don't get scared by this forest."
Pinkie Pie looks at her friend with a smug look.
"Oh...and you don't Dashie?"
Rainbow Dash faced scrunched up and she flew to the front of the group. Twilight, Applejack, and Rarity rolling their eyes. Fluttershy on the other hand was sitting in the carriage with the crusaders and Jason.
"How did you three meet Jason?" she asks.
Apple Bloom looks up from her friends body and looks at Fluttershy. The crusaders exchange looks and smile.
"We met him while we were at school. He came by while Diamond Tierra and Silver Spoon were doing their regular bullying when he came and scared them off."
Fluttershy giggles and looks at the man. He didn't look that scary to her, to Fluttershy it was like he wore that mask for a reason. Her curiosity was getting the best of her mind. She slowly reached for the dead man's mask. The crusaders couldn't help but feel curious as well. All Jason ever do was wear that mask, he never took it off. It might be good to finally see what he looked like. Fluttershy gripped the mask with her hand and slowly lifted it from his face. She and the crusaders looked under the small distance between Jason's mask and his face. What they were met with was not what they were expecting. The pony and fillies knocked their heads back and Fluttershy let go of Jason's mask. The Pegasus couldn't believe what she had just seen, neither with the fillies.
"He...doesn't even look normal!" she said.
"Got that right, he looks like he's been rotting for years!" Scootaloo said.
All four of them went quiet and just stared at the man's corpse. Time pasted and the carriage suddenly halted. Fluttershy could hear Rainbow Dash from inside the carriage.
"What's the big idea?" she said.
The crusaders crawled out of the carriage to see they were in large clearing with in the Everfree Forest. Not even branches were reaching inside the circle. It was like the trees were purposely avoiding to grown in the circle.
"Spooky." Apple Bloom said.
Most of the ponies scattered in the circle, looking at the scenery while Jason was being loaded out of the carriage. Meanwhile, a small giggle caught everyone's attention. Feeling a pit in their stomachs, the ponies turned to see the white earth filly sitting on Jason's stomach. A couple of the ponies calmed down from the sudden scare. Applejack looked at Layla with a slightly annoyed look.
"Sugercube, you gotta warn us before you go and do somethin' like that okay?"
Layla bounced up and down on the wolf mans stomach while nodding.
"I promise." she said.
Twilight made her way to the filly bent over to her height.
"What is the place?" Twilight asks.
Layla jumped off Jason and walked in the circle until she stopped in the middle of it. She closed her eyes and let the wind blow past her hair and fur, the feeling of her hair move and energy the circle was giving off, it was right location. A sudden crash of thunder rang out from above. All the ponies looking up and see small blue lights forming in storm clouds above them. It wasn't cloudy a minute ago, where did it all come from? Layla laughed and turned toward the ponies behind her.
"This is it. Bring Jason to me and give me a spear if any of you have it."
That last part made all the ponies look at each other. Surprisingly enough, a small spear was inside the carriage. While Jason was lifted by Twilight and Rarity's magic, the crusaders carried the spear. The man was placed in the middle of the field and with the spear next to him. Layla put down her stuffed bear and picked up the spear like it was made of paper. She then stood over the man and with a grunt, she plunged the spear inside Jason's chest. Rarity and Fluttershy tried to block the image with their hands and manes. Everyone else had disgusted and shocked looks on their faces. A crack of thunder was heard the Layla looked up at the sky with excited look.
"Um...Layla...are you sure this will work?" Twilight asks.
The filly looked back to the ponies with a wide smile on her face.
"Of course it will, this isn't the first time this has happened. Just be prepared for him to be very...well, agitated when he wakes up."
Not know by the ponies, a black figure was watching from the shadows. He gulped and scurried off toward a black castle in the distance.
Sombra was enjoying himself right now. Jason was dead, the ponies were distracted, and his magic was back to its normal state. He could feel countless waves of magic flowing through his veins. The feeling of being able to take back his empire. Sombra chuckled and clicked his fingers, making a red orb form in his palm. He threw it and the orb exploded on the wall, making a smoldering hole in it. It was glorious to say the least. Now with his powers in tact, taking over the empire should be an easy breeze. Sombra reclined in Chrysalis thrown, waiting for the queen to notice him and, most likely, scold him for being inside her thrown. The kings sudden relaxation was interrupted by a sudden burst of hell fire from the floor. Sombra jumped at the sight and waited for his visitor to come in. Freddy Krueger walked into the thrown room with a look that made Sombra raise an eye brow. He walked toward the king with an angry look that could scare a Ursa Major.
"By what do I own the pleasure Krueger?" he asked.
Freddy didn't say anything but slash the thrown with his glove, nearly sitting Sombra in the throat. The kings eyes went wide and he didn't have time to react when Freddy plunged tow of his blades into Sombra's shoulder. The king grunted in pain and watched Freddy leaned in to his face. His tone was angry with a small echo to it.
"DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHATS GOING ON!?" Freddy shouted.
Sombra gave the dream killer a confused look. Krueger dug his claws into Sombra shoulder and growled. Sombra winced at the pain. Blood coated the claws and streams leaked out of the wounds. The dream eater then murmured a strange phrase, Sombra tried to listen in but he couldn't make out the words. Just then, Sombra's shoulder felt like it ignited in flames and he screamed in pain. Freddy smiled menacingly and pulled out his blades. Sombra held his shoulder as it lit up from the inside.
"What...did you do to me Krueger!?" he growled.
Freddy laughed while flicking his hand. Small drips of blood coming off as he did so.
"Like I was saying before, you have no idea what's going on do you?" he said.
The king rubbed his shoulder and glinted at Freddy. Sombra didn't know what he was talking about, so he had to be honest.
"No."
Freddy didn't like that answer very much from the look of his smile fading.
"Well Sombra, did you know the ponies are trying to resurrect Jason?"
Sombra's heart beat dropped and looked outside. Thunder cracked outside making Sombra turned to the window and saw the clouds were becoming blue from lighting. Freddy crossed his arms and gave Sombra an angry look.
"I wont let that happen!" he said.
Sombra stood up and drew his sword with a crimson red handful of magic in his other.
"Maybe, but that little curse I just placed on you will make sure you do better this time." Freddy said. Pointing to Sombra's glowing orange shoulder.
The king looked at his shoulder and saw the orange light in it. His eyes grew wide and he scratched the wound. Krueger spoke again.
"That little cut will make it to where if you fail your job, I will know about it the minute it happens and you will pay the price. Face it buddy, you belong to me now."
Sombra launched a magic blast a Krueger, but the dream killer laughed and disappeared into a fire wall. Sombra looked around for Krueger until a kick to the side of the head knocked him out of his search. The king skidded on the floor and landed on his back. Freddy came out of nowhere and grabbed the king using his claws. He dug them into Sombra's chest, grabbing him from the inside of his chest and throwing him on his back. Sombra struggled to get up but it felt as though his entire ribcage was shattered pieces. Freddy laughed over him, grabbing the king by his shoulder and bringing him to eye level. Freddy pushed the king and he fell back in Chrysalis thrown. He vision was slightly dazed as he looked up at the dream killer in front of him.
"Now that little disagreement is out of the way, Ill leave you to your business but remember the condition of your curse Sombra. If you fail, your MINE!"
With that said, Freddy disappeared into a wall of fire while laughing. Sombra sat in the chair feeling defeated. He was just claimed a property by Freddy Krueger, not only that but his time would be limited if the ponies resurrected Jason. Sombra would have to stop those ponies before hand though.
"What in the name of Tarturas happened to you!?"
Sombra looked up and saw Chrysalis in full body armor. She ran over to him and checked him over. She then noticed the small glow in his shoulder.
"Freddy...decided to make a last minute deal with me." the king said. Breathing heavily as the queen changeling looked him over.
"Well, he did a number on you that's for sure."
Sombra grabbed Chrysalis wrist suddenly. The changeling queen looking up at the king.
"The ponies...are trying to bring...Jason back to life. Take a squad and deal with them."
Chrysalis nodded and walked until she came to the front door of the thrown room.
"By the way, get out of my chair."
The night ending soon and the storm was calming down slightly. Time was running out and still no lighting had hit the staff inside Jason's chest. The main six waited favor something to happen, seeing if what Layla said was true. Some were starting to have doubts. Layla was sitting next to Jason's body and holding her stuffed bear. Even she was having doubts. This was a different world then earth so the weather and supernatural powers here were different. Twilight and the others were trying to find ways to pass the time. Most of them were talking while Twilight watching the Layla.
She still was deciding whether her story was convincing or not. She wanted to believe she was actually a spirit but at the same time she could've been just a semi normal pony but with supernatural magic powers, that was a possibility as well. Twilight walked to Layla, sitting next to her as she gazed up at the sky.
"Do you think it will work?" Twilight asked her.
Layla stayed silent for a minute before breaking her gaze from the sky and looking at Jason.
"It did before." she said.
Twilight looked at Layla with a sad look. It was obvious Layla wanted to bring Jason back but she was starting to question if that was a good idea now. Jason's violent nature was something Equestria wasn't ready for, but for the sake of the Crystal Empires protection from Sombra, Equestria needed Jason more then anything. Twilight herself was admitting Jason was the only who could fight Sombra and come out still standing. So for now, she needed to hope the lighting trick worked.
A noticeable hiss was heard from the woods, making all the ponies freeze in place and look back to it. The hissing soon multiplied until it seemed the entire forest was hissing at the ponies. Green eyes then made their way out of the darkness. Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle hid behind their sisters in fear. Most of the ponies got in ready stances. The green eyes started to move and soon black figures came out of the forest. All equipped wit swords and armor not common for them to wear.
"Changelings!?" Twilight said.
The circles entire outer line was covered in armored changelings. All with blood lust in their eyes. The ponies prepared for the worst as the changeling warriors made their way closer to them. The warriors then stopped upon hearing a female type hiss. A gap in the warriors was made, showing an armored Queen Chrysalis walk toward the them. Her sword was drawn and magic glowing in her horn. She stopped at the end of the path the warriors were giving her and looked over the scene before her. It was obvious she meant business.
"Hello ponies. Long time no see." she growled.
Twilight used her magic to create a glowing bow and arrow in her hands. She aimed it toward the queens chest.
"What do you want Chrysalis?" she said.
The queen tapped the end of her sword with her finger in a bored manner.
"I came to make sure Jason stays dead." she said.
The ponies got in ready stances and prepared for the queen to make her move.
"Like hay were gonna let you get near him!" Rainbow Dash said.
Chrysalis growled and pointed her sword toward the ponies in a threating way.
"Well then...Ill just have to take him!"
Just as the changeling said that. A large bolt of lighting crashed onto the middle of the circle, hitting the staff impaled in Jason's body. The revenants eyes shot open and an angry look soon took him it over. All watched as Jason grabbed the staff with a hand and puled it out with force. Jason slowly stood up with the staff in his hand. He then snapped around to the changelings with his eyes narrowed. A few of the changelings hissed and ran toward the wolf man. Jason impaled one of the bugs through the head with the staff and lifted him high above him. Using the body, Jason swung the staff and knocked the other two into trees. Splattering them into pieces. Jason pulled the staff out of the bugs head and looked toward the rest of the warriors. He heard a giggle beneath him. He looked down and saw Layla.
Jason couldn't believe it. It was her! He still couldn't remember her name but he knew it was her! Jason tried to kneeled down to hug his long time friend but was stopped as he passed right through her. He backed away from the child and saw she had a look of despair on her face.
"I'm sorry Jason. Please beat Sombra for me, okay?"
With that, Layla was literally swept away when a gust of wind reduced her to dust and taking her away with it. Jason's anger grew and he was clenching his fists. He then snapped his head to the ponies and changelings, grabbing the staff and walking toward the small army behind him.
It was like Christmas morning for Jason. Endless waves of victims for him to kill. He hated the fact he didn't have his machete but the staff he was holding was more then enough to satisfy his hunger for death. He loved it when he would impale the staff through a changeling and seeing their faces in agonizing pain. The feeling of their blood on his clothes and fur felt great. Oh how they tried to fight him. Oh how the bug ponies were utterly destroyed under Jason's strength. The revenant kicked a changeling and then curbed stopped on his head. Green blood splattered on the floor. Bits and pieces of the skull and brain scattered across the ground. Jason the grabbed a changeling by the throat and broke it with a simple sudden movement of his wrist. He threw the dead changeling at the others, making them fall like dominoes. He then used the staff like a skewer, slicing through changelings like butter. Jason lifted the staff, with three changelings impaled on it, in the air and then slammed it on the ground. The bodies of the bugs acted like ragdolls. Their limbs moved in unnatural ways and disgusting cracks could be heard from inside them. Jason removed the staff from the bodies and thrashed it down in a changelings head, slicing it in half rather roughly. The changeling fell to the ground while green blood spurt out. The changelings kept coming. Surrounding Jason with weapons ready. Jason looked around him and saw the endless amount of kills he could preform. Two of the changelings charged him and the revenant impaled the first one. His screams acting like fuel for Jason as he swung the spear around, with the blade through the first bug, slicing the other changeling in half. Jason knocked the changeling of his spear with his boot.
Chrysalis watched in horror as Jason tore through her ranks. Like they were nothing. The revenant hit one of her changelings with his spear and it flies clean off his shoulders. It was obvious Jason was out for blood. Chrysalis anger boiled and she drew a double bladed battle axe from her waist. She growls and makes her way toward the revenant with two of her elite guards behind her. Jason just finished with another changeling, reeling back his fist from its skull as he faced the queen. Chrysalis jumped in the air, high enough for Jason's neck to give a small crack, she then lunged herself in a dive kick position but missed as Jason side stepped from her and gabbed her leg. She yelped as the revenant threw her from side to side on the ground. Jason let go of her and Chrysalis fell to ground. Parts of her armor were destroyed and were even missing from their places. She sprang back up, despite the pain she was feeling. Her two elite guards were attacking Jason, slashing at his arms and legs with their swords. Jason back handed one of the guards with his fist and his helmet flew off. He also dropped his sword.
Seeing it a opportunity for a replacement, Jason picked up the weird looking sword and swung it hard enough for the other guard to be sliced in two. Blood and guts flowed out of both parts as they collapsed to the ground. Jason looked at the sword and coked his head. His time of admiring was cut off when a small fist punched him in his nose. He stepped back to see a pissed off Chrysalis holding a double bladed axe. She swung the axe but Jason blocked it with his sword. Chrysalis swung again and again. Jason blocking each and every swing. He could see the queen was getting tired. Her swings were becoming less powerful and her breathing was heavy. Jason knew she would give up sooner or later so he decided to let her swing her axe and hit him with the axe. A couple of slashes were made in Jason's chest but soon were just taps on his chest. He cocked his head to her as he saw Chrysalis on the floor on her hands and knees breathing heavily.
The queen tried to stand, grabbing onto Jason to help her up. Jason stood there and let, knowing she would let him kill her. Chrysalis had both her hands on Jason's chest and her head was buried in it. Wait. This felt familiar to Jason. Chrysalis then looked up at him with tired eyes. The revenants eyes the went wide. He did know her. She was the mare that made him feel strange. Chrysalis backed away from Jason, fixing her hair as she did so. Chrysalis slowed down her breathing and saw the revenant looking at her. She gave him a upset look, rubbing her head. Jason waited patiently for her to say it. He knew she would. However, she surprised him.
"I guess its...to late to say...your very buff Jason."
Jason gave a unamused look under his mask. He raised his sword to his side and slashed Chrysalis across the chest. The satisfying sound of flesh ripping was enough for Jason to turn away. She fell to the floor limp. Jason looked around him and saw the graveyard of changelings around him. Green blood cloaked the ground and black bodies were placed on top. He then looked and ponies looking at him. Oh right, he forgot they were watching him. All with petrified looks on their faces. Fluttershy, Rarity, Sweetie Belle were in tears from seeing the sight before them while the rest looked at Jason in fear. Jason stepped forward but heard a splash. He looked down to see himself in a reflection of water. His entire attire was covered in green blood and his sword was practically glowing. He snapped his head to the ponies who were giving him looks of fear. He heard the purple one speak softly.
"Oh my Faust." she said.
The one called Applejack stepped forward as well.
"I realized they were changelings, but they didn't deserve the brutal treatment yea put on them."
Jason rolled his eyes under his mask. These ponies weren't he prime concern and he didn't give what they thought about his killing ways. Jason turned and saw a dark castle in the distance. That must have been where Sombra was hidden. He proceeded to walk to it when a high pitch western child voice was heard behind him.
"Jason wait!"
Jason turned to see Apple Bloom walking toward him with tears flowing down her cheeks. Never has Jason ever seen a child so scared in his life. Though she wasn't scared of the monster under her bed or the fear about her parents yelling at her. No, this was the look of a child was scared of the boogieman, and unfortunately Jason was that boogieman. The man stopped dead in his tracks and turned to face Apple Bloom. The little filly then ran over to Jason and wrapped herself around the masked mans leg. Jason looked down at her while cocking his head. He could hear her sobbing and trying to talk as well.
"P-please...don't...die again." she sobbed.
Jason broke Apple Bloom from his leg and crouched down to her. Apple Bloom looked into the mans mask eye holes and saw his amber colored eyes. They were soft and caring toward the filly. Apple Bloom then lifted her hands and gripped the ends of Jason's mask. Everyone else froze as the filly slowly lifted the mask off his face. Jason sat their and let the child take his mask off. Apple Bloom slide the mask down Jason's cheek and her eyes went wide. Before she could say anything, Jason was swept away by a large black tendril. He struggled but was swept away by the cloud. The ponies tried to chase the cloud but it was out of sight in seconds.
"JASON!" Apple Bloom cried.
The filly looked down at the mask in her hands. The others watched as storm clouds were forming the distance. The main six and the crusades stood next to each other.
"What do you think Twilight?" Rarity asked.
The purple alicorn narrowed her eyes. She knew where that black mass was taking Jason.
Jason was regaining consciousness. All he remembered was Apple Bloom taking off his mask and then darkness clouded his vision and he fainted. The revenant could feel like he was high up in the sky. The cold wind felt like daggers against his skin. The feeling of the a tentacle like appendage around his waist felt like it was tearing him in two. Jason slowly opened his eyes and saw the bright moon illuminating over him. The amount of stars next to the moon was a sight of pure beauty. His eyes slowly moved toward the moon, Jason could slightly see, his mothers face. Her sweet, kind, gentle eyes looking down at him and he could feel like she was telling him something with that look. No, it had to be a hallucination. His mother died when he was young. It was impossible he was staring her in the eyes. He then heard her voice. It brought back so many memories from his childhood. Her sweet and motherly voice moving in his mind a like a classical song.
"Jasooooon. Time to wake up sweetie!"
The masked mans eyes slowly his eyes further and the feelings in his body were returning. The cold of the air was nipping at his nose. Jason slowly moved his head as he could feel pressure fighting him as he moved it. Why did it feel like he was in mid air? Jason's eyes shot open and he looked around more around him. He was suspended high above the ground. Possibly high as a air plane. Jason felt numb around his waist, he looked down and saw a black, skeletal hand wrapped around him and pulling him. He then saw his enemy, King Sombra. Well, part of him anyways. Sombra was nothing but a small head in a black cloud. He had the most angry and look of malice on his face. The stallion was planning something, that's why he was carrying Jason. Though that little detail will have to be addressed first. Jason recollected and fixed himself in the skeletal hand. He looked to his right hand, seeing the sword he had picked up from a changeling. Jason nodded and grabbed the bony finger of the giant hand. He brought his sword up, blade down, and started to strike it multiple times. No blood came out but the sound of bones breaking was enough to make Jason try to grin.
Sombra shrieked in pain and looked to see the wolf man striking his boney hand. He growled and took a sudden dive bomb to the ground below him. Jason held on for dear life as the speed of the dive bomb was immense. Sombra smiled apon seeing his destination. A location in Equestria where he would kill Jason for good. Tartarus, Equestrias hell. In the journal Freddy has given Sombra, the dream killer stated that if all else fails so bring Jason to Tartarus and throw him in to one of the creation pits. Once there, Jason's immortality would be over taken over by the magic and his body would be destroyed. With that in mind, Sombra landed on Tartarus land with a violent throw of Jason. The man impacted the ground so hard, it felt like all the bones in his body were shattered. He slowly got to his feet, the cracks of his bones that made him wince. Jason held his arm as he tried to pop the bones back into place. He looked around for his 'to be' killer. He wasn't in sight. Jason went grabbed his arm and jerked it back into his shoulder. It felt like trying to put a baseball in a glove that was to small for it. Jason pushed again but still nothing. He then heard Sombra's voice in a mocking tone.
"Hey! Asshole!"
Jason snapped his head toward the voice with an angry look in his eye. He saw Sombra giving a smug look with crossed arms on top of a ledge. The masked mans anger boiled as he faced Sombra, and the stallion got more then enough look at his face. Jason's entire left side of his face was nothing but red, dry muscle exposed. He didn't have a nose like a normal human being. A large bump was located over his right eye. Sombra scoffed.
"Well, your different from when I saw you last that's for sure."
Jason's mouth moved with his breathing and his eyes narrowed in anger. Jason grabbed his sword off the ground and walked over to the ledge Sombra was present. He climbed it but found he was gone. Sombra yelled from behind Jason.
"Over here bonehead!"
Jason turned and Sombra plunged his fist into his mouth, sending Jason flying off the ledge on landing on his dislocated arm. Jason groaned in pain and grabbed his arm. He staggered to his feet using only his one good arm to lift him up. Jason looked around for Sombra, the pitch darkness of this place was impossible to do so. Jason was in enemy territory, he didn't know what this place was or what its inhabitants were. He needed to find Sombra and finish this. The wolf man looked and saw a bright blue glow coming from the top of what looked like mountains but with paths leading to them. Jason, limping and holding his dislocated shoulder, walked over to the blue light on the mountain. The long path up to the mountains top wasn't an easy one. Jason could barely stand from the impact of hitting the ground and the concussion Sombra gave him when he was punched. Though his brain was good and mushy by now from all the revenant has been through.
Jason arrived at the top of the path to see a pond of blue, glowing water. He cocked his head in confusion and walked closer to it. Jason leaned his head over the pond but saw nothing but water. A familiar voice then rang out from behind the man. A voice he thought he would never hear again. A voice swore he killed years ago.
"Hey retard."
Jason about faced and saw HIM. He couldn't believe it. He was alive, but Jason knew he put his head in his closest. The one who tricked him, and the one who made him live through his worst fear possible. That is what made Jason hate the demon in front of him with all his glory. Freddy stood with a proud look on his face. Jason growled in his throat. He wasn't in the mood to fight Freddy. The dream killer spoke in his same deep old mannish tone. Jason clenched his sword and raised it upwards toward Freddy. The dream killer blew a raspberry and waved his claw to Jason.
"I'm not here to fight you old dog. No, my time with you is done. But you have a new player in this little game who, if he values his life, will kill you. So...have fun old champ. And DIE!"
Freddy disappeared in a cloud of red smoke and at the same time Sombra came from out of nowhere and tackled Jason. The two flew over the pond and hit the rock behind it, leaving a crater in the wall. Sombra's head formed inside the cloud like a mask. His bright green and purple eyes looking into Jason's. The sound of a blade hitting flesh caught Jason's attention as it felt like Freddy stuck his glove inside his chest again. He looked down and saw his suspicions were somewhat correct. It was Freddy's glove but it looked more demonic with the blades longer and thinner. The masked man snapped his head back up to see Sombra laughing manically. The revenants anger boiled in his mind. Sombra was bringing memories from his and Freddy's fight. He growled again and attempted to punch Sombra with his not broken hand but dark stallion grabbed it and pinned it against the wall. Sombra let out a growl of his own and head butted the revenant. Jason's head knocked back against the wall, blood forming on his forehead. Sombra laughed dropped Jason from his grip. The revenant hit the ground a thud and the sound of bones breaking as he did so.
Jason could feel, practically all of his bones were either bruised, broken, or shattered. He was sure that last fall nearly broke his back. He however, felt his arm was back into place. Somehow. The revenant didn't question it, other impossible things have happened to him before. Jason got to his feet and cracked his neck. Sombra formed in front of Jason with a sword drawn in his hand. Jason gripped his sword tightly in his hand and gave Sombra an angry look. The king laughed and picked the blade with his finger.
"It seems our friendship will have to be cut now Jason. I wished you saw things my way, but I cant have you defining me anymore."
Sombra threw his sword suddenly, Jason couldn't see it in time as it impaled itself in his shoulder. Sombra sprinted toward the man and flying kicked him in the head. Jason fell back with force. He didn't have time to collect himself as Sombra leaped on top of him and beginning striking him repeatedly with his fists. The king threw another punch but Jason grabbed it with fast reflexes. Sombra's eyes went wide as Jason stood up, still holding his hand Jason brought Sombra back and swung his fist but missed as he only hit the cloud. Sombra laughed and slashed Jason with a dark claw across his chest, he then slammed Jason against the wall creating a deeper crater. Sombra appeared behind him and slashed him with a dagger. Jason staggered as Sombra plunged the dagger into the mans shoulder blade. Jason back kicked and hit the stallion in the gut. Sombra coughed and jumped back. Jason reached behind him and pulled the dagger out of his shoulder.
Sombra let out growl as his hand was engulfed in red magic. Sombra clenched his fist and the light spread through his entire body. He crossed his arms and his entire body was covered in a strange looking red armor. Its ancient patterns and design made it look like centuries old. Sombra chuckled as his hand was engulfed in another orb of magic. He growled and a sword formed in his hand. Jason cocked his head a Sombra as the king showed his armor. The king laughed and pointed his sword toward the revenant.
"Your good as dead revenant."
Jason growled and walked toward the armored king. He raised his sword but Sombra blocked it with his own. The stallion knocked the sword out of Jason's hand, he raised the sword over his head and swung it across Jason's chest. A red stream soon formed on his shirt and Jason winced from the pain. The revenant grabbed the handle of Sombra's sword while the stallion was holding and punched Sombra hard in his chest. Sombra groaned in pain as he went flying over the pond. He landed on the other side on his hooves. The two looked at each other from across the pond with looks of pure hatred and anger. A black cloud engulfed Sombra and he disappeared into a cloud. Jason looked around frantically, remembering what happened the last time. He stopped and listened. It was the only thing he could do right now. He couldn't fight a cloud so all he could was wait. Jason clenched the hand he was holding his sword and closed his eyes, letting his other senses taking control. Jason could hear the sounds of creatures roaring and the wind blowing across the mountains. Jason then heard something. A sound of something sizzling. Like bacon on the fryer. He snapped open his eyes and ducked as Sombra reappeared in a cloud and nearly decapitated Jason as he swung his sword. Jason ducked and slashed Sombra on his chest.
Sombra skidded across the floor and landed on his back. He jumped to his hooves with a snarl. He looked down his armor to see a slash in it, running down to his waist. He growled and his eyes glowed a purple light. He animalistic growl escaped Sombra as his legs formed into smoke and he dashed toward Jason. The revenant was ready this time as he side stepped and dodged Sombra and swung his sword, hitting his arm. The stallion yelped in pain but wasn't finished as he turned a full one eighty degree turn and kicked Jason in his face. The man was sent staggering as blood dripped down his head. Sombra then attempted to uppercut Jason but he grabbed his hand, bending his wrist at an abnormal angle. The stallion roared in pain. Sombra manifested a dagger in his hand and plunged it into Jason's neck. Blood spurt out and Jason stepped back. The king laughed as he saw Jason try to keep himself up. The deformed man stopped dead in his tracks and Sombra gave a confused look. He then grabbed the knife and pulled it out of his neck, blood following after. Sombra's anger grew, he roared and lunged at the man with another dagger in his hands.
Apple Bloom stared at the hockey mask in her hands with a sad look. It was all that she was staring at for hours since Jason was taken away by the black cloud. She was worried beyond belief for Jason. What she saw in his eyes, how large and empty they were. The emptiness however, a small, light in it. It was deep inside him, wanting to be released again. The filly knew Jason was a violent wolf and she knew he must have been a bad one where he came from. How she figured that out? No pony goes out in public with a mask and sword as, what Rarity would call it, a fashion statement. The crusaders figured Jason did some bad things but they never got to know what he did until he saw him kill over and over again. Those were times they his true side. But from what Apple Bloom saw in those brown, empty eyes, was a small light of hope for him that was waiting to be reawakened. From what she and the crusaders have gone through with Jason, they knew he still had some good in him. Maybe not being friendly toward adults but he was more a kid from what he put with them. Jason would accept a lot from the crusaders that most of the other ponies didn't. He was patient. He was gentle. He was a friend. Apple Bloom could feel tears form in her eyes as she remembered those times.
The filly was brought out of her train of thought as she was shook by Sweetie Belle. Apple Bloom looked up at her friend who was just in as much tears as her.
"Your thinking about Jason aren't you?" she said.
Apple Bloom sniffled and wiped the tears away from her eyes.
"Yeah. Ah hope he's okay Sweetie."
The filly patted her friend on the back with reassurance.
"Don't worry, Jason is like a superhero to us remember? He can handle anything."
Apple Bloom smiled at the thought. Sweetie Belle was right. To the crusaders, Jason was a guardian. He was their guardian. The wolf man was becoming more like a brother type figure for the fillies more and more he was with them. Apple Bloom couldn't decide which one it was. Either one was equally perfect. The sudden sound of Applejacks voice then came into Apple Blooms mind.
"Hey girls! Get over here for a sec!"
The crusaders ran over to where the main six were depicting a plan. A plan that would hopefully get them to Tarturus in a short amount of time.
"I don't have that kind of power to get all of use there." Twilight said.
"Well...some of us will have to stay behind!" Rainbow Dash commented.
The others nodded and mumbled. Agreeing to the term.
"Well that settles it, how many are going?"
No one put their arms up. Twilight slouched in disappointment. Three hands the raised themselves. Twilight looked and saw the determination in the Cutie Mark Crusades staring at her. She felt worried and relieved at the same time. The others turned and saw their hands raised. They immediately reacted negatively.
"Are you three insane!?" Rainbow Dash said.
"Absolutely not Sweetie Belle!" Rarity said.
"Apple Bloom?" Applejack said.
The three fillies each had a grip on Jason's mask. All standing like their ready for war. Silence engulfed the group and the main six exchanged looks from each other. Twilight rubbed the back of her neck. She walked over to the three fillies and kneeled down to them. She wanted to preach to them about how dangerous it was but her bitter judgment and knowledge of their relationship with the masked killer was weighting against her.
"Girls...I cant let you...its to dangerous." she said.
The fillies expressions didn't change. It was obvious they had made up their minds. Though it would a tough argument to win against them. Twilight grabbed the mask with her fingers. The fillies looked at each other and let go of the mask. Twilight looked it over, the feeling of holding the object was like touching something he wasn't supposed to. The mask had a dark energy around it. It felt like evil. She closed her eyes and Twilight let her magic take over as the mask was engulfed in a purple pulsating orb. The mask had a strange magic around it. A dark magic Twilight had never felt before. It felt like dark magic but a bit more evil, if that was even possible. Twilight knew where Jason was, he was in Tarturus with Sombra. They were fighting, and it looked like Sombra was winning. Even though Twilight didn't like the thought of helping an evil undead killer form another world, she had no choice in the matter. Sombra needed to be stopped and it seemed helping Jason kill him was the only way.
The purple alicorn nodded and walked until she was away from everyone else. She stopped and about faced toward her friends and the crusaders, holding Jason's mask in her grip.
"I'm going to help Jason, if any of you want to join, fill free."
Twilights entire body was soon surrounded by a purple light. Her horn zapped and cracked as her eyes grew pure white. Magic soon created a bubble around Twilight as she prepared her spell. Apple Bloom clenched her hands and without thinking, she sprinted into the bubble with Twilight. She heard the screaming of the others trying to make her stop but she didn't listen as the filly wrapped herself around the alicorns leg. The two were gone with in seconds.
Jason had forgotten how many times he was slashed and gashed by Sombra. He was barely wearing a jacket at the point as it was in rags from the blade tearing it to pieces. Jason breathed heavily from exhaustion of the fight. He wouldn't last much longer from this. His vision was starting to get out of focus and his head was becoming heavy. He had a major concussion, maybe. He couldn't count how many times he was slammed into that damned wall. It looked like the surface of the moon by the point. Jason looked in front of him and saw a battered King Sombra holding a bloody sword. The king was missing his sliver crown and his lip was bleeding. Sombra roared and charged Jason, the revenant blocked the attack with his sword. The king countered with a kick to the gut. Jason's back arched as he held his stomach. Sombra then kneaded him in the face, sending Jason's head right back up. The revenant then swiftly head butted Sombra. The king yelped in pain and staggered back, giving Jason a chance to slash his back with his sword. A red cloud erupted from Sombra's back as he nearly fell to his knees. Jason raised his sword again and brought it down with force but missed and ended up getting it stuck in the concrete like land of the mountain. Sombra laughed and kicked Jason again, sending falling back. The king then grabbed Jason's sword and made his way toward the revenant.
The king begun to swing the duel wielding swords, striking Jason in his chest. Cress after cross, blood flowed from Jason's chest and bits and pieces of his shirt as well. Jason grabbed one of Sombra's swords and death gripped, possibly breaking the stallions fingers from his roar of pain. The revenant then used one the butt of the sword to hit the king in the head, staggering him. Jason used this to his advantage and punched Sombra square in the chest, sending him flying away from him. Jason looked and saw he had his sword back. He nodded in made his way toward the king. Just then, a bright purple light over took Jason's vision. The light died down and he saw the purple unicorn and Apple Bloom standing there. His eyes grew wide and he made his way over.
Twilight looked down at saw a smiling Apple Bloom at her hooves. She groaned.
"I knew you would do something like that." she said.
Apple Bloom looked up at Twilight and chuckled.
"Well you did say come if you wanted."
Twilight mentally kicked herself for saying that. The two were then surprised by the sound of heavy breathing, they turned to see Jason standing their with a blood covered chest and sword. Apple Bloom squealed and ran over to him, wrapping his leg in a bear hug. Twilight gulped and walked over to the revenant. His head snapped up to her with an intimidating look of anger. The alicorn slowly raised her hand with Jason's mask in it. The man looked down and saw his most prized wear in the ponies hand. He grabbed the mask from her grip and slipped it onto his face. A small echo sound making its presents known as the revenant looked back up to Twilight.
Ch. Ch. Ch. Ah. Ah. Ah.
Twilight felt sweat dripping down her cheek. It was obvious Jason was mad. Mad at the fact ponies had killed him. Feeling at though giving his mask back to him acted like some sort of peace treaty between the two.
"I hope...their isn't any hard feelings Jason." she said.
The revenant cocked his head at the unicorn. A loud, rumbling growl was then heard. All three turned their heads to see Sombra getting off the ground with blood lust in his eyes. Apple Bloom hid behind Jason and Twilight reequipped a magic weapon of her own. The king roared at the three.
"YOU THINK I'LL LOSE TO YOU!? YOUR SOURLY MISTAKEN!"
The stallion the charged the three with fast speed. Twilight got in a blocked ready position. Jason charged as well, walking toward the king. Sombra equipped a dagger from his magic and blade faced it toward the revenant. Jason swung his sword as did Sombra swing his dagger and the two passed by each other. Sombra and Jason stopped in their tracks and turned toward the other. Moments passed and Jason's left arm came off like it was poorly glued on an action figure. It bounced as it hit the ground, leaking blood from it. Sombra coughed and looked down to see Jason's sword impaled inside him. The king fell down onto his knees and coughed one more. Jason looked down at his dismembered arm and cocked his head. He's had his fingers cut off before but this was a first. Out of desperation, knowing he might die from this, Sombra took this opportunity of distraction. He blasted a red stream of magic toward Twilight, knocking her down on impact. The king then leaped and grabbed Apple Bloom. The filly screamed, catching the mans attention. The two locked eyes with one another.
"Come get her if you value her life!"
Sombra laughed and disappeared into a cloud of smoke and reappeared on the other side of the pond. Jason's anger boiled and quickly followed. Sombra pulled the sword out of his abdomen and moaned in pain as blood spurt out from the wound. Apple Bloom bit and scratched as she tried to get away from the king. Sombra snarled at her, getting her to stop instantly. Jason made his way to the pond but was stopped by Sombra when he raised his hand.
"I hope if you try to come over here...Ill drop her inside this pond and she will be killed, unless you get in it first."
Jason anger increased even more. Sombra had him between a rock and hard place. He didn't want to die just yet, not until Sombra was killed. But he didn't want Apple Bloom to lose hers. Apple Bloom took this time and silently grabbed Sombra dagger on the floor that he lost. She gripped the blade in both her hands and with a scream she plunged the blade into Sombra side. The king roared in pain and swatted the filly to the side. Jason's anger hit its breaking point and he threw his sword at Sombra. The blade end of the sword passed right through the kings right side of his chest. He coughed and blood started making its way down the stallions mouth and throat. Jason made his way over to the king. His echo following him as he did.
Ch. Ch. Ch. Ah. Ah. Ah.
Sombra was pulled to his feet by the wolf man as he pulled the blade out with force. Sombra screamed in pain as blood spurt from the wound. Jason shoved the king back and started to swiftly and violently swing his sword at Sombra, hitting his chest with every swipe. Large gashes formed on Sombra armor ad blood coated each one. The king was threw yet as he manifested a dagger into his hand and strikes Jason in his heart. He laughs as he could see the wolf mans eyes start to flitter. Jason then decided he was gone playing around. He kicked Sombra off him while pulling the knife out his chest. He threw it to the side and approached Sombra, the quietly mumbled to himself.
"I'll...see...you in hell."
Jason raised his sword over his head and brought it down with force onto Sombra, slicing through his shoulder. The king screamed bloody murder as Jason pride the blade out from the wound and sliced it again but this time slicing the stallion in two through his shoulder. Apple Bloom looked in shock at the sight before her. Jason watched as the two parts started to turn a dark orange. They soon burst into flames and a large clawed hand burst from the ground, dragging the parts under ground. A deep laugh Jason knew all to well doing going along with it. If he could chuckle he would. Now a real problem faded in as Jason felt fatigue take him over.
The bloody man dropped his sword and it felt like his entire body was falling apart. Jason fell onto his back, looking up at the bright sky over head. The stars were shining brightly above, making it look like a babies crib. He then heard Apple Blooms voice to the right of him. He didn't heard what she said as he saw her rush over to him and get on her knees next to him. Tears were in her eyes and he was holding the hand of his other arm. With her now closer, he could decipher what the filly was saying.
"Please...please don't die Jason. You cant die now!" she cried.
Jason wrapped his fingers around Apple Blooms as the filly started to cry. The revenant let go of the fillies hand and softly patted her head as a sign of telling her she did a good job. With a few more pats, Jason's hand stopped and it slowly started to slide down the fillies tear drenched cheek. Apple Bloom sobbed loudly as his hand fell to her lap limp. Twilight rubbed her head as she could hear the crying coming from Apple Bloom. She looked over and saw Jason's arm on the floor. She gave a gasp, knowing why Apple Bloom was crying, she grabbed his arm and ran over to the filly. There, laid Jason Voorhees, dead. Twilight used her magic to attach the limb back to Jason, using her finger like a welder. Apple Bloom looked up at her confused.
"It wouldn't be right to bury him without all his limps."
Apple Bloom sobbed and nodded, burying her head into the mans bloody chest.
A day later. The main six, the Cutie Mark Crusaders, and Princess Celestia, Luna, and Cadence traveled to a small lake in the Everfree Forest. Everyone dressed in black for the funeral, even the princesses. They were looking to bury Jason where he was originally welcomed the most, the lake. This information was given to them by Layla who, never showed herself again after Jason had died to second time. With a chain wrapped around his neck and stone Jason would freely sink to the bottom without resistance. After everyone had shared their experiences with Jason and how they knew him as a bad guy at first but that idea was changed. Apple Bloom was the last to speak, she stepped to Jason's side, looking over her friend with tears in her eyes.
"I knew Jason Voorhees as a kind, quiet, patient, gentle, and brotherly type figure for me and the crusaders. He was like r' guardian. He was strong, fearless, and determined to defend us. That's y' I'm more then proud to call him my friend."
With that said, Jason was dunked into the lake. The stone pulled him to the very bottom in a matter of seconds and his body slowly filled with water where the rock didn't need to keep him restrained to the body. Time passed and soon everyone went home, except for the crusaders, who watched the lake for hours until it was time to go. To Apple Bloom, it was hard knowing Jason was gone, possibly for good this time. Though that didn't stop her from Jason's machete out from her and the crusaders wagon and striking it into the ground. Then, with her finger, Apple Bloom wrote in wet concrete left over from the stone block.
