(Jason's POV)

*the next day*

"Alrighty Sugarcube, the nurse says that your free to leave." Applejack said, pulling the blanket off of me. I yawned, still tired from the events of yesterday. I rubbed my eyes and looked in the mirror that was hanging on the wall of Fluttershy's and I's hospital room. It looked like my cut was healing fine now, but it was going to leave a nasty scar. Luckily, when I and if I get a new helmet, it should cover the wound. I looked over to my right and saw Fluttershy was climbing out of bed, but she wasn't walking pretty well. She was all shaky, and I'm not lying when I say this, but I wanted to cry when I saw her limping. I looked over at the door, and I saw a nurse had came in with a wheelchair, and wheeled it over to where I was laying. She pulled out my IV and bandaged up the hoof it was in, and she carefully led me over to the wheelchair. I sat down on it, and another nurse followed in the first. The others cleared a path as She walked over to Fluttershy and had her sit down. I could tell that Fluttershy was relieved when she learned that she wouldn't have to walk out of the large hospital by herself. They carefully wheeled both of us out of the room and down the corridor. As we pasted room upon room, I noticed the muffled sound of two ponies talking. I strained my hearing, and I could just barely make out Twilight's voice. I stopped listening as she walked out of the room, looking concerned.

"Well Twilight? What did the princess say?" Rarity asked as Twilight started to walk with us. The two nurses kept pushing us along, but I could tell that they weren't too thrilled that the rest of the group was starting to slow down.

"Um..excuse us, but may we pick up the pace? We must open up any space possible in the hospital. Many other ponies were injured from the glass shards that flew everywhere." The nurses asked, and they all started to walk faster.

"Sorry. Yes, we can pick up the pace." Sky said. The nurses sighed, and kept pushing us through the many hallways of the hospital. We soon made it to the front doors, and they helped us out of the wheelchairs. I was able to stand pretty easily, but Fluttershy was still struggling with her balance. I walked over to her and let her lean on me for support. She gave me a look of gratitude and we started walking with the rest of the group.

"So, uh, Twi. What did the princess say?" Pinkie pie asked, bouncing along the cobblestone road. Twilight looked at her like she was crazy. She then remember that she had just been talking with the princess.

"What? Oh, sorry. My head was kinda in lala land. What did you ask?" Twilight asked.

"I asked about your talk with the princess. What did she say about the incident?" Pinkie asked again, still bouncing along.

"Oh, and how is the princess?" Rarity asked Twilight, sounding a little worried.

"Oh, she said that she had never seen anything like this happen before, and she thinks we might need some backup." Twilight said, sounding concerned. "And Princess Celestia is ok for the most part. She has an eye patch over her right eye, due to some glass fragments, and her wing is in a cast, because when the incident happened, she had landed on her wing funny."

"Well, who's the backup?" Rainbow asked. Twilight scraped at the ground.

"You see, that's kinda the problem. Princess Celestia said we need to ask...to ask..an unlucky Ally." Twilight studdered.

"Who?" Fluttershy squeaked. I jumped a little in surprise at the squeak she made, but I instantly relaxed. I didn't want her to think I was a scaredy cat!

"D-Discord." Twilight said, and Rainbow Dash gasped.

(Flashback)

Hello, Princess? May I come in? I asked, opening the door slightly. Princess Celestial was laying upright in bed. She had an eyepatch over her right eye, and one of the nurses were wrapping up one of her wings.

"Ah, Twilight! Come in! I need some company!" She said, pointing over to a seat. I pulled it up at looked at my previous mentor.

"Princess, are you alright? You seem to have been beaten up pretty well..." I said, and she nodded.

"I'm fine Twilight. Are your friends ok?" She asked, and I nodded. The nurse finished up wrapping up Celestia's wing, and walked out of the room.

"Twilight, I would like to talk to you about this problem." Celestia said, as I turned all ears.

"Yes princess, that is why I came in here. How are suppose to fight this thing?!" I asked. She stayed quiet.

"Well Twilight, I think the best thing to do is call some backup." She said, and I nodded.

"Ok. Who is it? Princess Cadence? Shining armor? The royal guard?" I said, but she shook her head.

"Discord."

(End of Flashback)
"Him?!" She said, and Twilight nodded.

"Wait a minute. Who's Discord?" I asked, and Twilight sighed.

"Discord is a magical creature that used to be evil. He used his chaotic powers to send me and my friends on a wild goose chase and almost turned us all into enemies. We turned him to stone using the Elements of Harmony, and Fluttershy was able be-friend him and convince him to use his magic for good instead of evil." Twilight said. I looked at Fluttershy with a shocked face.

"Wow, you have defeated lots of creatures, haven't you?" She giggled. My stomach instantly ignited with butterflies. My gosh, why does she make this happen?

"I guess it just comes naturally. I am good with animals, you know." She said, looking at her cutie mark. I nodded, agreeing.

"Well, how do we get discord to come here?" Jerome asked, looking at Twilight. Twilight looked at Spike, and he nodded.

"Everypony, follow me." Twilight started running down the stony path, and everypony followed. Well, everypony except me and Fluttershy. Sky looked back at us whispered something to Twilight before falling back with us. Sky started walking on the side without Fluttershy on it, to give her more room, and I jumped a little when I heard him whisper something to me.

"You like her, don't you?" I looked at him, plastering on the most bewildered face I could make.

"What? No, that's crazy." I said, and Sky gave me an unconvinced look. He then smiled.

"Oh puh-leese, it's pretty obvious. When ever you look at her, it's as if your pupils turn into little hearts." He said, looking at her. She hadn't taken notice yet of my conversation with Sky. I blushed and looked at him.

"Fine, you got me. But PLEASE don't tell anyone else!" I whispered, and he nodded, understandingly. But I could see a small glint of mischief in his eyes. Oh gosh, this won't end well.

"You need to tell her sometime." He whispered, and I nodded, not looking at him.

"I know, but I don't know when. I don't want it to be weird between us. Especially since we are from two different worlds!" I said, and Sky nodded, again.

"Well, just look out for her. I can tell that she might have something for you." I blushed.

"Do you think so?" I whispered, and he nodded. I smiled. He kept walking with us, and we starting talking about just anything. Fluttershy soon joined our conversation, going on and on about her adventures with her friends. We listened intently, giving an occasional gasp or an oohhhh. We soon made it back to the castle where all the other ponies were waiting. Twilight had a large, orange book sitting at her feet. It had a weird picture of a horse with an extremely long beard. We stopped our conversation and Twilight looked at us.

"What took you guys so long?" She asked, and I blushed. Sky instantly spoke up for me.

"Fluttershy accidentally fell and we had to help her up." Fluttershy looked at us, but didn't question it. I sighed and gave Sky a thankful look, and he just smirked. I sighed. Twilight nodded, not seeming to take notice of me and Sky's little telepathic conversation, and flipped open a page in the book. She read the spell silently, and started the magic in her horn. "Everyone who is not an element of harmony, stand back." Twilight said, and I took a step back. Fluttershy stayed where she was, but she was struggling with standing up. Please don't make her have to stand for long. I thought, looking at her. Twilights horn then casted a bright, pink light, and the rest of mane six started floating. Thank goodness I thought. Then, out of no where, their cutie marks started to glow. A large flash happened, and in the place of the flash, was a huge, monster-looking thing made out of all different animals. It had a a lion paw and cloven hoof, and two different sized eyes. It had two horns on its head, and wings. I took a step back at the sight of the hideous creature.

"Ah, how good it is too see you all again! Especially you, Fluttershy." She limped over to him and gave him a big hug. I smiled.

"Well, who are these new ponies?" He asked, and Twilight introduced us.

"Discord, This is Sky, Jason, Jerome, Bash, Ian, and Seto." She said, and we all looked at him.

"That's Discord?" Sky asked, looking disgusted.

"Ah, new friends! How delightful!" He said, obviously not offended by Sky's insult, and out of nowhere, a tea table popped up, and we all were seated in chairs. He started pouring tea in the little cup that was in front of me, and gave me an unconvincing smile. He looked like he was about to pull a prank on me. I tensed, ready for whatever was coming.

"Sorry Discord, we can't have a tea party right now. We need your help on something." Rainbow Dash said, flying out of her seat. Discord looked hurt but poofed away the tea table. I sighed with relief, but I gave a small gasp when I felt the chair I was sitting on disappear, leaving me sitting on air. We all fell to the ground, but luckily it wasn't a hard fall. I rushed over to Fluttershy and helped her up. She smiled at me and leaned on me for support of her leg.

"So, what is the problem that you needed to call me for? I was right in the middle of a marathon." Discord said, poofing up a couch and laying on it. He the. Out of no-where started eating a bag of chips.

"Discord, we need you to do some investigating." Twilight said. Discord instantly plastered a smile on his face, and with a click of his fingers, he was instantly decorated in investigative gear.

"Oh, what fun this is going to be!" He said, looking around in a magnifying glass.

"Discord. You need to be serious during this. This monster isn't anything to joke about! It's the reason why Fluttershy is limping and Celestia's wing is in a cast!" Twilight said, and Discord gasped.

"My poor, poor Fluttershy! I will bring justice to you, by investigating this evil doer. He will be brought to justice!" Discord claimed, being dramatic. He picked her up, and started to stroke her hair.

"Whoa whoa whoa Discord. We don't want you to bring him to justice yet. We want you to investigate. You know, get on his or her good side, and report your findings." Twilight said, and he saluted. He dropped Fluttershy, and I ran to catch her. I luckily caught her right in the nick of time, and she gave a sigh of relief.

"Yes sir, Commander Twilight Ann Sparkle!" Discord said. Twilight sighed.

"My middle name isn't Ann." She said, putting her head in her hoof.

"Oh Ya, well whatever. Off to go be an investigator!" Discord said. He then somehow open a door that wasn't there, and disappeared.

"Um...did he just break the fourth wall? Is that normal for him?" Bash asked, and Twilight nodded.

"He's the spirit of chaos. Of course that is normal for him." Fluttershy said. "But he has good intentions now. I'm so proud of him." She said with happiness. I quietly laughed.

"Well, what do we do now?" Rainbow asked. Flying in circles. Man, for a pegasus, she was pretty impatient.

"We could go back to where the explosion happened and see if there are any clues to where Tyler might have gone." Sky said, and we all decided that we should go do that. They all ran ahead and me and Fluttershy trailed behind. She had climbed off my back and was walking beside me again, and I was quietly thankful that I didn't have to carry her. She was surprisingly very heavy, but to be fair, I was also wearing tons of space suit armor, so that was a haul to carry. We were at a pretty good distance behind the rest of the group when I heard Fluttershy speak.

"Um...Jason?"

I looked over at her, with a little bit of surprise. I wasn't expecting her to say anything while we walked. She was pretty quiet, you know? "Yes, Fluttershy?" I said, looking at her.

She gave a nervous laugh. "I-I just wanted to thank you for helping me get around. It's so much easier and a lot more comfortable. And, it's also kinda nice to have someone to talk to while I'm still in the healing process." I smiled. She smiled back at me, and my heart melted.

"Well, your welcome. And I also wanted to thank you. If you hadn't gotten the others up and helped treat my wound, I don't know where I would be right now." She blushed.

"It was nothing. I'm just glad your ok." She said, nuzzling into my hair. My stomach exploded again with Butterflies, and I laughed. Was this what it felt like? To have somepony you love possibly love you back? We kept walking, taking an occasional break for Fluttershy to rest her hoof. After a while, we finally made it to the castle, and into the room with the shattered window. I lead Fluttershy over to a corner that had no glass by it, and helped her sit down.

"You stay here, ok? I don't want you to get hurt by stepping on a piece of glass." She nodded. I walked over to the window and looked at the blast in the wall.

"Based on my knowledge of TNT, I am going to bet that there wasn't just one TNT used." I said, and Sky nodded walking up to me. He motioned over to me, and lead me over to a pile of glass.

"Hey, can you help me clean this up?" He asked, and I nodded. I grabbed a dust pan that was in the princess's closet, and he grabbed the broom that was laying on the floor. We carefully swept up the glass and threw it in the trash can. There was still a lot of glass on the floor, but at least we wouldn't have to worry about getting a piece of glass in our hooves. I was struggling with putting the dust pan and broom back into the closet when I heard a scream from Fluttershy. I whipped my head around and noticed that There was an arrow directly above her head. She was frozen in fear. I looked over at the doorway and saw a skeleton. My mouth dropped open. How was a skeleton here in Equestria?! The skeleton grabbed another arrow from its quaver and put it into the bow. He aimed it right at Fluttershy, but before it could shoot the arrow, I somehow leapt on to it and tackled it to the ground. I wrestled with the monster as Ian ran over to help me while Sky and Jerome grabbed some large pieces of glass. It threw a few punches at me, but it luckily missed all of them. Jerome and Sky threw pieces of glass at the head of the skeleton, and one stuck right into the skull. It let out a loud screech and died. I got off of the thing and looked at Ian. We were both breathing heavily, and the other ponies looked at use in disbelief.

"What was that thing?" Twilight and Applejack asked, their eyes wide. Fluttershy was still frozen in terror, so I walked over to her and gave her a comforting hug. She relaxed a little bit, and I let go. I walked up to Sky, who was looking at the Skeleton.

"Hey Sky? I'm going to investigate." He nodded and I walked out of the room.

I walked down the hall for a little bit before i noticed that some guards were having a fierce battle with a few zombie-looking ponies.

"Sky! Jerome! Everyone! Get some more glass!" I yelled, and they poked their heads out of the door. There eyes widened, and in a few moments, they all came running out of the room, glass in their mouth, and ran straight at the zombies. Sky threw a piece to me, and I caught it. I ran at a zombie and threw the piece at it, killing it. The guard it was fighting looked at me in awe.

"You could have hit me with that!" He said. I rolled my eyes.

"But I didn't." He gave me a look. (It looked like this, I just don't know how to explain it ---> :/)

"You and the other guards go find cover, and if you have any swords, give them to us at once!" I commanded, and the guards obediently obeyed. They all ran out of the room, and soon, We were the only ones left in the room, with a good amount of mobs in with us. The girls stayed back in the other room, too terrified to come out. I looked around to see if there was a way they were getting in, and sure enough, there was. There must've been a rouge piece of TNT that detonated during the main explosion, because there was a fairly large hole in the roof, and zombies kept falling in through there.

"Hey Sky!" I yelled through the sounds of dying zombies. He turned his attention towards me, and I pointed at the ceiling. "Go see if you can find Princess Luna! Maybe she can help us with this!" He nodded and ran off, looking for the other Princess, while I helped kill off more of the zombies.

It seemed like the waves of zombies were never ending. And to add to the fun, some creepers decided to show up as well. Only one had gone off, but now not only is there zombies and creepers we have to kill, now there is a giant hole in the middle of the room. I had almost fallen in a few times, and I had actually fallen in once, but luckily, Jerome, Ian, and Seto were able to quickly pull me up.

"Has anyone seen Sky?" I yelled, but every shook there head.
"Hold on everyone! I'm going to try something!" Seto yelled over the sounds of the mobs. "Clear the crater!" He yelled,and we all moved away from the large crater in the middle of the room. He closed his eyes, and his horn started to glow. We looked at the giant which was now being filled back up. It a matter o f moments, the hole was patched, and we could fight with the upper hand.

"Thanks for the help Seto!" I called out.

"No problem!" He said, shooting a beam of magic at hoard of Zonbies, making them scatter. I grabbed another piece of glass that was on the floor, and threw it at a creeper. It hissed and then died. Surprisingly, I was able to hear a faint voice through all the screams and noise.

"JASON! I found her!" I quickly turned around, and thankfully, I saw Sky and Princess Luna running our way. Luna quickly sprung into action, using her magic to mend the roof. It was quickly sealed off, and without anymore monsters coming in, we were soon able to defeat them all.
---~•*•~---
After we finished off the last monster and cleared the area, the girls all came running out of the room. Rainbow Dash was supporting Fluttershy, and everyone was staring at all the dead mobs.

"Im sorry about not getting here sooner. Being the princess of the night, I am usually asleep during the daylight hours. What are these things?" Princess Luna asked, flying down from the ceiling. Ian kicked one of the zombies to the side while Sky explained.

"These are zombies." He said, pointing to a greenish figure. "Those are Creeepers." He said, pointing to a figure with a TNT mark on its flank. "And those are Skeletons." He finished, pointing to a bony horse with a bow laying nearby it. "They are usually square like us, but I guess when and however the got here, they became ponies too."

"How did you know how to kill them?" Pinkie Pie asked, bouncing over the different mobs.

"Trust me, you learn after a while." I said, walking over to the window. I gasped at the sight before me. There were hundreds of mobs everywhere!

"Sky! Look!" I said, pointing outside. His jaw dropped.

"I-I don't understand. It's daylight out! They should all be dying!" The other foreign ponies joined them, and they all gave the same response.

"Um...I hate to ruin the party, but what do you mean 'they should be dying?'" Applejack asked.

"Wait, there's a party?! Why wasn't I invited!" Pinkie cried. Applejack just rolled her eyes.

"In Minecraftia, the Zombies and Skeletons die when the sunlight hits them. They arent immune to it unless they have a helmet on. They catch on fire and burn to death. But why aren't they burning here? This makes no sense." Jerome said, looking outside. There were ponies running everywhere, and most of them were being followed by other mobs. Luna looked at us in horror.

"These things don't kill, do they?" She asked, and I slowly, painfully nodded. She grimaced.

"This isn't good. Oh, why can't Tia be here right now!" Luna cried. Celestia had to make an emergency trip to the Crystal Empire, even in her condition, to sort out some disputes between the kingdom. Twilight patted her on the back. Sky glanced outside again, and sighed.

"We need to be cautious now. One attack from them and we could be dead." Sky said.

"Sky is right. Mobs here aren't like mobs in Minecraftia. If they don't die in the sunlight, then we are gonna have to be stealthy." Jordan said. Seto nodded his head, agreeing.

"But how are we going to get around? Like you just said, if we are seen, we could be killed!" Twilight said, concerned.

"I-I don't know. Is there anyway we can get armor?" Sky asked. Princess Luna nodded her head.

"I'm sure we can get the royal blacksmiths to make you all armor." Luna said, and I smiled in gratitude. Seto cleared his throat.

"Or, I could just poof up some! I am a Sorcerer over in Minecraftia, and it looks like the spells over there work over her too. I can use an armor summoning spell to get us all armor." He said.

"Perfect. The quicker we get that armor, the better off we are all going to be." Jerome said, looking outside again. Something's were now on fire, and there were holes everywhere, probably from the Creeepers exploding.

"Well, should we try to figure out where these monsters are coming from?" Princess Luna questioned us. We all nodded. Luna decided that she would lead us down one of the hallways of the castle. She thought that if there was a problem, she could distract the monsters while we ran. Even though I didn't think that was a good idea, she wouldn't take no for an answer. As we snuck around, Fluttershy looked back to make sure nothing was following us. She screamed, which caused me jump and turn around. I gasped at what I saw.

"What is it Flutter-whoa!" Applejack said, turning around. Right behind all of us, was a herd of angry Enderponies. You could only see Their dark, purple eyes stared right as us in the dark corridor, and their Ender particles swirling around them made them look even more menacing. They looked at us for a few seconds, and then disappeared into thin air.

"J-Jason, where did they go?" Fluttershy shakily asked, darting her eyes around.

"They have the ability to teleport. They could be anywhere right now." I said, scanning the area. Luna and the others were scouting just like us, when I heard the sound. The sound that would make any pony run in fright. I heard the loud, scary screech of an Enderpony attack. They teleported right in front of us, their dark, black mouths open, and screaming. I covered my ears, as did everyone else. They screeched for another two seconds, and then disappeared again.

"Everyone! Don't look at them in the eyes! That makes them worse!" Seto yelled at all of us.

"W-where did they go now!" Pinkie said, nervously. She was still shielding her eyes, frightened that the Enderponies would come screech again.

"C'mon everyone! We need to get to a place with low ceilings! They can't fit under low ceilings! Luna do you know anyplace that would have low ceilings?" Sky yelled. Luna nodded and started to run. We all followed, everyone except Me and Fluttershy.

"Jason! Go! Don't worry about me!" Fluttershy cried, tears running down her terrified face. I looked at her like she was crazy.

"No way! I'm not leaving you behind, now c'mon!" I said, running a bit quicker. She tried to follow, but she quickly lost her footing and fell, I stopped in my tracks when I saw that the Enderponies had returned, and were now surrounding her. I started running at the Enderponies and I felt a bit of satisfaction as I felt my head butt into one of the monster's sides. The monster let out a screech and fell to the ground dead. I then turned to the next one. It screeched again, and disappeared, and the last one followed the first one. I ran over to Fluttershy and hugged her harder than ever before. She wrapped her hooves around my neck and started crying.

"T-Thank you...yo-you came back for me." She stammered, looking at me.

"I would never leave you behind." I said, still hugging her. I then heard the Enderponies sounds again and noticed that we were surrounded, with even more of the hideous monsters than before. I looked at Fluttershy and she gasped.

"Jason! Your head! It's bleeding!" She stammered. I touched my hoof to my forehead, and sure enough, it was bleeding. My wound had reopened. I looked at the Enderponies and noticed that they were inching closer. Their eyes were even scarier up close than far away. Fluttershy was shaking, and had her head in buried into my neck, expecting the worst. Is now the time to tell her? I asked myself. I looked at her, and I instantly knew my answer.

"Fluttershy?" I asked, and she lifted her head. Her eyes were red from the tears, and she was taking an occasional gasp of air, trying to calm down.

"Y-yes, Jason?" She asked. I stared at her for a few moments.

"I know we haven't know each other for a a very long time, but I love you. Everytime I see you, my heart soars." She smiled at me and started crying.

"I-I love you too, Jason." She said. I pulled her closer to me, and we kissed.

(A/N alright! There is Chapter 21! Don't you just love cliffhangers? This chapter has so much lovey stuff in it /)'3'(\ ughhhh it makes me melt! Comment below if you ship #flutterverse!)
