Chapter 18: The Return Of Justis
"What do you mean?! They wouldn't do anything bad to me Discord!" His evil chuckle unnerves me and causes my stomach to knot up in a ball. "Are you sure Justis? I mean… You're just like me in this world; an outcast." Clenching my fists I glare at him as he gets very close to me. "Oh yes, just like back in your world… You. Are. An. Outcast." My fist collides with his jaw, sending him into the bars of the cell. A wave of pain shoots up my arm; I look down to see a fang digging into a vein. Flinching, I rip it out of my arm and look back to where Discord was… "Shit... Where'd he go?!" In a flash my face is slammed into the wall and I'm thrown across the cell like a child's toy during a tantrum.
Discord appears before me as he steps on my chest. "Now… Be quiet." I wiggle, trying to get out from under his foot as he punches me in the nose. "You're gonna listen to what I say..." I nod in acceptance as he gets off of me. "Now; the story is that you were arrested for killing ponies and no one could stop Luna from taking you." I cringe and slowly hold myself. "I.. I didn't want to kill anypony.. I was just defending the ones I love…" Discord nods and comforts me. "Oh trust me I know." Starting to sob I angrily punch the stone wall, causing my fist to start bleeding. Discord disappears into the shadows as I just sit in the corner, devastated by what I've done.
(Luna's P.O.V.)
Watching the night sky a set of hoof steps creeps up behind me. "Sister… How are you this fine night?" I turn around and look at my older sister; she has a bandage on her face and wings. I frown softly. "I am ok dear Tia... I had the human locked away in the dungeon." Tia frowns and sighs. "Release him Luna." My jaw drops in shock as I look her in the eyes. "But, Tia!" Tia walks past me and softly whispers. "He could not resist the temptation of Nightmare Moon; just like you dear sister." Looking down with a pang of guilt, I listen to Tia walk away as I slowly go down to the dungeon.
Entering the large dungeon, I quickly find my way to Justis' cell and as I see him I notice he looks a little paler then when I threw him in there. "Justis… I came to apologize and release you to return to your friends." He looks up at me, his eyes full of guilt as he whimpers. "But… I-I killed those ponies…" I sigh a little as I unlock the cell and walk to him. "Justis I know you did it to protect your friends…" Looking up at me he shakes his head. "Not friends. They are my family." Slowly I feel myself begin to smile and hug the large human.
He tenses and looks down at me. "I believe we are one of the same… We both lost to Nightmare Moon." Slowly nodding he looks me in the eyes. "But.. I killed those ponies.." I softly sigh. "You did it out of self-defense Justis…" He trembles and cries. "I love all living things, I didn't want anyone to die cause of me.." I slowly hold his head to my chest and stroke his hair, wondering how I did a complete 180 in my emotions.
Watching him carefully as he slowly opens his hand and looks at it. I slowly walk over and stare into his hand as well. A small black sphere slowly grows in his palm and starts to expand. Quickly hopping backwards I watch him mold it into a solid onyx crystal. A small grin spreads across his face and he slowly hands me the crystal. "This is my way of saying sorry to you. I don't understand the magic that was unlocked in me but I seem to be able to create…" Taking the crystal in my hoof; I teleport him back home, to be with his friends.
(Justis P.O.V.)
I slowly look around my living room as Alice sees me. She screams loudly and tackles me in a hug, sobbing hard into my chest. Her hoofs grip my shirt as I gently hug her as the others see me and run over. Alice, Chrysalis, Xavier, Dashie, and Pinkie all hug me, glad to see I'm back; unharmed. Hugging them all I smile and comfort them, glad that they are all ok. Alice softly whispers. "Justis… Are you ok? Are you hurt? Did they torture you?" I just pat her back as I slowly let go.
"Everypony… I feel that I am a murderer; even though I protected y'all from Dominique's goons I still feel the" Jacob rolls his eyes and grunts. "It's over Justis. You need to learn not to be so soft." Blinking confused, I look at him as he grunts again. "Trust me; you're worrying over ponies that don't matter." I stare at him shocked by his attitude. I sigh and slowly sit in a chair. "All life has importance Jacob. Not a single creature in life is insignificant." He ignores me as he plays on his phone. I bite my tongue so I don't yell at him as I look at twilight.
"Miss Sparkle; would it be ok if you taught me how to use the magic you gave me?" She smiles and nods happily. "Sure Justis. What do you know so far about your magic?" Shifting slowly I shrug. "I used my magic to create a crystal for Princess Luna, if that counts for anything." Her eyes widen as she looks at me. "You mean… You have a creators magic?"
