We're Not Heroesby BronieMan305ChaptersMagical MishapFirst Day Of The Rest Of You're Life (Maybe)PETA's PissedClimbing High For Dragon Loot, And Down Again For Town To BootInto Town, Introductions, And The Ponymon CenterMagical MishapSuperheroes, people who use their powers to help the world for the greater good. Supervillains, powered men and women who use their powers for personal gain completely uncaring to who they harm to get what they want. We bring you to the home of the Mistress of black magic Mary, and her powered friends gather to meet her. They are neither of the before mentioned types of people, as they frankly don’t give a shit. These are our “heroes” the Slacker Six, and they’re about to face a challenge they’ve never faced before. “What could they want with you after all these months Sensei?” asked a young teen with blond hair and blue eyes in brown robes facing his Sensei, Jacob a tall teen with light brown hair and grey eyes who is known simply as Jacob. (Not heroes remember?) “Well I’m not really sure Tim, but hey they can’t have a reunion without king goofball can they?” replied Jacob with a knock on the door. The door swung open with a creek revealing the inside of the old mansion that appeared to be abandoned. “Creepy, does Mary actually live here Sensei?” asked the young Tim. “Yeah she does Tim, she loves being as creepy as possible, though trust me she is about as harmless as any of us,” Jacob told him. They walk in heading towards a back room where a pale light was coming from. “But you massacred a herd of charging bulls single handedly….” Tim said nervously. “Like I said she’s as harmless as any of us.” Bursting through the door Jacob yelled a cheerful, “Hey guys how y’all doin?” Which got him looks from the three people already in the room. “Hey Jacob god to see you,” said Hunter, was oldest of the group at 19, with dark brown hair, blue eyes, and glasses, a katana strapped to his back, “how is it you are the only person who my hyper intuition doesn’t warn me when you’re about to do something?” Jacob replied, “Told you before, must be ‘cause I’m so random. How are you Drake?” Drake was sitting in the corner, reading some note when he looked up, brown hair shining in the light as his brown eyes stared at them with a general seriousness for some unknown reason, his bow and quiver sitting next to him as his dagger hangs off of his hip. He spoke in with a monotone seeming youthful and old at the same time as he said, “I’m doing as good as usual, good to see you, any idea why we’re here?” “Nope!” Jacob replied with a smile. Just the Jacob is hugged from behind. “How are you doing Sam?” He said without turning around. Sam, a shorter girl with brown hair and eyes and bronze skin was looking at Jacob as he turned around her glasses glinting in the light. “I'm doing good, been working on a way to cure cancer,” she told him. “Wow, you really are an overachiever, not to mention genius,” Jacob said as he flopped on the couch. Just then Mary walked in from the next room in her usual black coat with a green pentagram that matches her green eyes, her long black hair falling down to her waist. “Hello!” she said with a childish innocent voice, “great that you could make it.” Tim walked in after he saw her come in from the other side and remained quiet. Jacob perked up and said “Guys meet Tim, he’s my new apprentice.” They all told him hello as he gave a quiet ‘hi’ and sat by Jacob. “I am teaching him the arts in those ancient forbidden scrolls me and Hunter found, I only needed the ones that match my style, and Hunter only studied them for the sword techniques.” Hunter suddenly looked nervous as he said, “Which ones have you been teaching him?” “I taught him Scrolls A, C, H, and N under division 4.” “Those are very dangerous scrolls Jacob; you better know what you’re doing,” Suddenly there was a screechy yowl as the last person walked in. He was wearing a blue jacket and leather pants with shoulder length black hair and purple eyes. He finishes yawning and sits down as Jacob groans loudly. “You invited him?” Mary responded with, “Sorry Jacob I know you don’t like Ian but I needed all of us for this.” Drake asked, “You gonna tell us what we’re doing now miss magic?” She nodded as she walked into the next room and waved for them to follow and everyone walked in. On the floor was a large pentagram with circles on the corners. “I’ve been practicing a spell to open portals and to do it I need someone to be on each corner, but there were two problems. One was the obvious fact that most people aren’t exactly willing to help with dark magic, though the second was more important. The magic is at such a high concentration it would... uh... kill any normal person.” “So you using us expecting our powers to keep us safe, actually pretty smart,” said Hunter. “You guys forgetting that I'm only resistant to a human degree right?” Drake pointed out. “Unless we piss you off, and I’d say the pain would do that,” said Sam. “Good point,” Drake responded. “So this is gonna hurt?” said Ian. “Won’t bug me,” said Jacob, “God bless the inability to feel pain.” While the rest sat on a corner Drake faced Mary and asked, “And if we refuse?” Suddenly Mary’s eyes glowed red and in a demonic voiced answered, “I WILL DEVOUR YOUR SOUL!” then she giggled and stood in the middle of the pentagram as Drake shrugged and sat down. “MOVERTUS UNIM!” Mary exclaimed as a green energy began encircling them all as they began to react each with their own abilities. Hunter was first to react as a thin light blue aura surrounded him with a slight groan as he concentrated trying to ignore the pain. Drake was gasping and groaning as he began looking grim and his eyes got red and strained. Ian’s eyes began glowing purple as his nails extended into claws and he crouched tightly straining as a purple tail grew from the back of his waist. Jacob unlike the others looked rather calm, unable to feel pain as his chest bulged and stubble grew over his exposed skin and his face began taking on canine qualities with narrow features, an extended nose and his teeth became sharp. Sam was groaning and grimacing with pain and a portal opened as she screamed and passed out. The portal began shaking and deforming as they were all sucked through it. “SENSEI!” yelled Tim as he saw them get sucked through as he jumped through the purple vortex behind them as it snapped shut behind him. He was flung hard into the ground. With a groan he stood up and saw Jacob standing next to him with a smirk. “You can’t land better than that? Tuck and roll numbskull,” he said holding out a hand. “Where are we Sensei?” asked Tim. “Some kind of forest Tim.” Jacob replied. Somewhere else in the distance Drake was falling fast as he saw the ground below him. He shifted slightly aiming towards the top of a mountain as he smashed into the top crushing through half the mountain and stopped on one knee fist in the ground bruised and bloody. He looked around to realize he got himself stuck in a hole. “Well crap”, he said as he stood up. He looked at his battered body and swung his bow and quiver on his back as he began climbing the side of the ditch. Ian was falling rapidly towards trees when with a purple energy surrounding him he kicked off the top of a tree then jumped across the treetops until he slowed down enough to jump down. He leaned against a tree and drifted to sleep to rest for a bit, having used a ton of energy. Just a few hundred yards away Mary was falling, while laughing maniacally. She slammed hard into the ground, and with and oomph quietly giggled, “Oops.” Hunter was falling towards a lake when he quickly pulled out his katana and began spinning at high speeds slowing himself, hitting the lake like he merely jumped in. After swimming to the side and getting out he looked around. “Where are the others?” he said to himself. He got on one knee as his eyes glowed a pale blue as various strings of colors appeared in his vision. He looked to the east and saw a grass green aura next to a red aura. “There are Jacob and Tim,” he muttered. He looked south and could see a blue-green aura, and a purple aura, though they were not near each other. “Mary and Ian.” He turned west to see a gray aura apparently inside a mountain. “Heh Drake,” he said with a smirk. He turned north to see a rainbow of auras and a dim brown one falling towards it quickly. “It must be a town, and Sam’s falling fast better go help her.” Sam was falling high speed when a purple magic surrounded her and she was stopped just above the ground. She looked around to see a small village filled with…ponies? “W-where am I?” she said. “You’re in Ponyville,” said a purple unicorn standing next to a pink pony and an orange one. “Hi! I’m Pinkie-Pie you look hurt are you okay? What are you? Hey whoareyouidontknowthatmeansyour anewfriendyayijustlovemeetinganewpersonyaaaaywegottathrowapartydoyoulikepartiesiloveparties!” Sam grabbed her head in pain. “An ahm Applejack,” said the orange one. Sam passed out. First Day Of The Rest Of You're Life (Maybe)“God. Damn. Mountain. I really need to work on my aim,” Drake muttered to himself as he climbed the inside of the crater he created on impact, “So effing tall I better not f-craaaap.” He slipped falling towards the base of the mountain again until he pulled out his dagger and plunged it into the side of the mountain. “This is gonna take awhile.” Meanwhile, in the middle of the unknown forest, Jacob and Tim are walking along trying to find a way out. “Sensei, where are we?” asked Tim rather nervously. “I dunno, just keep walking.” Suddenly a ferocious roar could be heard and Jacob sniffed rather crudely, “It smells kinda like cat, like a bird, and like a scorpion. It’s weird it seems to be one creature but sure-” “SENSEI!” yelled Tim pointing to the odd creature approaching them hungrily. With a shine in his eyes and a laugh Jacob told him, “It’s a manticore, a real manticore; I’ve got this Tim stay back.” Laughing, Jacob’s form began to change as he tossed his shirt to reveal his chest and whole body becoming covered in short hair as his face gets a pulled out look with his nose and mouth extending and teeth sharpening, as his nails become claws. He releases a large howl at the end of his transformation. “…I will never get used to that,” chuckled Tim as he watched Jacob charge. Jacob dash quickly and dived under the manticore’s swinging tail and jumped onto its head, “Here kitty kitty,” Jacob taunted as the manticore swung its tail at him. Jacob dived at the last second causing the manticore to plow its tail into its own head. “Heh, stupid cat, can’t stand the things,” Jacob muttered. “Well you are a dog Sensei,” Tim quipped. “Shaddup.” Jacob ran behind the manticore as is swung a paw at him bashing him in the side and knocking him into a tree leaving a huge gash in his side. “Oh, you’re gonna pay for that,” Jacob said snidely as he spat out blood. He charged behind him and bit down hard on his tail ripping it off as the manticore screeched. The manticore began running away as Jacob charged after smashing the tail through the manticore’s neck. “S-sensei?” muttered Tim. Jacob returned to normal and put his shirt back on. “Sorry, got the taste of blood, went a little nuts, anyway let’s get a fire going, we got dinner.” “MRAWR!” yelled Ian as he’s slapped in the face. He stood up quickly and glared at his assaulter. “Bought time you woke up,” said Mary. “What was that for?” Ian muttered indignantly. “You're little ‘cat-naps’ take hours and we need to start moving towards that village I could see while falling.” Ian started going backed to sleep as he quietly asked, “Why go there, I’m sleepy.” Mary kicked him in the side as she began to explain, “Because all of us other than you have the common sense to head towards civilization to meet each other, since it’s the only obvious point we’d all think of.” Ian gets up annoyed as he glares at her with his purple eyes. “Fine I’m coming, though that village better have some damn milk or I’m gonna be pissed,” he replied. Somewhere else in the forest, Hunter is walking towards the village he saw in the aura realm. “It shouldn’t be too far now just need to get out of these woods.” Suddenly a barrage of howls could be heard. “Oh, wonderful, wolves,” Hunter said dryly as a whole pack of thirty started surrounding him. Still in aura vision, he noticed they appeared to be plants, but when he returned his sight to normal he noticed something odder. “They’re made of wood!?” He drew his sword preparing for a fight when the first one charged. He struck hard cutting through it as the wood collapsed. Just then the entire pack attacked and Hunter began slicing and dashing dodging there attacks. Realizing they were overwhelming him he got on one knee as he concentrated, his body glowing a pale blue, the energy moved to his sword. With a spin he sent the energy in a carved circle tearing them apart. Hunter lay still looking at the broken wood. “Glad that’s over,” he muttered barely on the edge of the consciousness. Then he noticed something in the corner of his eye. The wood began slowly creeping together. It began forming into a giant wolf creature that started charging at him. He stood up weakly and held up his sword. “W-well sh-shit,” he stuttered weakly as it slapped him with a wooden paw and he flew 20 feet into a tree and slumped down. It jumped to bite him when it is suddenly sent flying to the left and smashes into the ground. “Wh-what?” Hunter looks up to see Drake standing over him with a smile. “You didn’t expect me to let my best friend get eaten after all the crazy stuff we’ve been through do you? It’s just like Germany,” Drake said. “This is a b-bit different then Germany heh,” Hunter replied. “You’ve got a point there, but I’ve got this,” Drake said as he turned to the wolf beast. In the village, Sam regained consciousness. “Wh-what a dream,” she said to herself as she looked up and saw the unicorn from earlier, “Oh, not a dream.” The unicorn looked at her and said, “Glad to see you’re awake. How do you feel?” Kim looked at it, her, since she could tell it was a girl, and replied, “Well for someone who was hurt by black magic, ripped through a portal to apparently a different universe, and fell hundreds of feet, pretty good.” The unicorn looked at her nervously, “So you were brought here by dark magic?” Sam could see her nervousness and attempted to calm her by saying, “Well yes, it was black magic, but it wasn’t dangerous or evil, my friend Mary practices black magic but she isn’t evil, speaking of which, where’s the others?” The unicorn looked at her oddly, “Others?” Sam walked outside and the unicorn followed. “Yeah there were others, but they may have landed somewhere else,” Sam explained, “So what’s your name?” The purple unicorn looked at her and said, “Twilight, and yours?” “Its Sam,” Sam told her. “And, um sorry, but, what are you?” Twilight ask. “My friends and I are humans; well most of us, Jacob and Ian barely qualify.” They then hear a loud howl in the distance. “Oh no, a howl that loud must be an alpha timberwolf,” Twilight said worried. “No, I’d recognize that howl anywhere, that’s Jacob going dog; I feel sorry for whatever attacked him,” said Sam just as they heard a different howl from another direction “Now that one may be an alpha whatever you said.” She looked in the direction it came from and saw and odd mountain that looked as if though it had been cut in half. “We don’t know what happened to that mountain,” said Twilight guessing her thoughts, “It was fine this morning then there was this loud smashing sound and it split from the top.” Sam smiled with the realization, “Drake must’ve landed there which means he’s probably the one the timberwolf thing is attacking, and Hunter is probably with them knowing those two, hope the wolf will be okay.” Twilight gave her a confused look as Sam began walking forward. “Better go wait by the forest for those guys, they’d make their way here.” Author's Note So, how is my magical misfit group? PETA's PissedHave you ever seen that movie with Liam Neeson where he fights a bunch of wolves? If you haven’t, don’t it sucks. As Drake is staring down the Alpha Timberwolf in a Liam Neeson-y fashion, the wolf was paying more attention to its smashed in cheek. The Alpha turned to him and howled as it began charging forward. Drake pulled out his bow and fired arrows rapidly, but did very little damage, the wolf being made of wood. “Oh you are an annoying wolf aren’t you? You are starting to piss me off as it is, don’t make me angrier,” Drake snipped. Hunter was behind him, barely able to move from the stunt he pulled with his sword. While he thought Drake could more than likely tear it apart, there was nothing to keep it from reforming, so while Drake fought, he planned diligently. Drake pulled out his dagger ready to fight it hand to paw, and jumped on its head. He began carving at it, cutting huge chunks like an axe in… well… wood. The wolf lurched up and Drake jumped gaining a huge boost in the air, as he turned to his side and crashed into it with a pile-driver, causing the wood to shatter and splinter through the middle of the wolf until it busted in half. Drake laughed thinking it was over. He walked over to Hunter and began helping him up. “Well that thing wasn’t too tough, should we call PETA and tell them a harmless creature was killed?” joked Drake. Hunter looks over to the creature slowly reforming back together and comments, “Check before you assume things are dead Drake, look at that thing!” Drake turns and looks as the two ends reconnect and stands up growling at them ferociously. He groans as he turns and fires an arrow and thinks about what to do. Elsewhere in the woods, Jacob and Tim are heading towards the growls and commotion they heard. Jacob is casually dragging the manticore behind him, expecting to eat it later. Jacob reaches the top of a small hill, revealing a small clearing of the forest where a river runs through and animals drink. “Cannibal!” exclaims Jacob when he jumps into the river. “Um… isn’t it cannonball Sensei?” Tim confusedly asked. Jacob merely glares at him as he pulls some dog jerky out of his pocket and chewed it slowly. Tim chuckles as he says, “I don’t think dog jerky is made from actual dogs Sensei, heh.” With a grin Tim dives in the river and swims around. They hear another loud howl as they both jump out of the river and throw on shirts and Tim put on his cloak. “We should really check that out,” Jacob says as he begins running. “Wait... *gasp* Sensei… *gasp* can’t… *gasp*run… *gasp* that fast *gasp*,” Tim calls trailing behind. Back in the fray, Drake bashes it around while trying to not use to much energy, unknowing how long it will take to destroy it. He kicks it into the ground fracturing its skull. Hunter is thinking how to beat it when suddenly the obvious hit him. “Drake!” he exclaims. “Yeah!?” Drake yells back as he kicks it to the side. “It’s made of wood!” Hunter points out. “Oh really, I didn’t fucking notice,” Drake snips back mad at the obvious statement when he twists the wolves paw off. “I mean it’s flammable idiot!” Hunter explains. Suddenly Drake gets what he’s saying when he asked, “How do we set it on fire?” Looking at Drake’s quiver he asked, “Do you still have those flint arrows?” Drake pulls one out and says, “Of course I do ever since-” “We both agreed to never speak of what happened in Switzerland!” Hunter interrupted. Nodding Drake fires the arrow into the wolf’s side and shoots it with a steel arrow causing a spark, fire spouting up the wolf’s side. The wolf rolled over putting out the fire, and fresh wood grew over the burnt spot. “DAMMIT!” Drake and Hunter spouted in unison. Jacob and Tim had just arrived to see the wolf catch on fire and roll over. Turning to Tim, Jacob told him, “Stay back here, we may need you if we can’t figure out a safer way to end this.” Tim nodded as Jacob ran over to Hunter. “Hey man, are you alright?” Jacob asked him, seeing that he couldn’t move. Hunter turned to him and gave a slight sigh, “Thank goodness, we could use any help, even yours Husky. Yeah, I’m okay, I just used to much energy.” Jacob nodded and looked at his katana on the ground. Picking it up, he asked him, “Hey, I saw what you tried to do and I have a plan, can I borrow your sword?” Hunter looked at him oddly and asked him, “Do you even know how to use that thing?” Jacob looked at him annoyed and responded, “Of course I know how to use this thing, what’s so hard to understand about ‘swish-swish-stab’ it’s a sword, not a fucking fighter-jet.” Hunter cracked a smile and with a shrug said, “Sure, go for it.” Jacob nods and looks and spots what he’s looking for, a large dead tree with leaves hanging limply all over. He dashes to it and shouts to Drake, “Smash it again!” Drake nods at him and begins tearing it to pieces. Turning to the tree, Jacob takes a hard swing and cuts the tree down, and he kicks it on the wolf’s lumber. The timberwolf reforms with the new wood and is doubled in size. “HUSKY YOU IDIOT!” both Hunter and Drake yell in sync as the wolf lets out a howl. Then Hunter notices all of the dried out crackly leaves covering the Alpha’s body and yells, “Husky, you’re a genius!” Drake catches on quickly and fires another flint arrow in the center of the densest patch of leaves and quickly fires the second arrow. The sparks hit the leaves and the wolf is engulfed in flames. It begins rolling around and whimpering as the fire burns on. Slowly the entire outer wood becomes black and the wolf stops moving. Jacob quickly sets up two posts next to the burning wolf and shoves a thin tree through the manticore he killed. Dragging it to the wolf, Drake and Hunter give him an odd look as he tosses it on the post. Turning the side of the tree and spinning the manticore he asks them, “Manticore meat anyone?” Thirty minutes later Jacob, Tim, Hunter, and Drake sit around the fire eating the manticore. Finishing his sixth serving, Jacob looks at the rest and says, “You know, I may hate spikey kittens, but they taste amazing.” They all face-palm just as they hear a scream. Mary and Ian had just walked out of the woods and the carcass of the manticore was crushing Ian as he had sleepwalked into the poles knocking it off. Jacob threw the carcass off of him and exclaimed, “Yay, I saved Ian!” Jacob then thought for a second and muttered, “Oh, I saved Ian.” Ian glared at him, and everyone else just stared, other than Hunter who was trying not to choke on his manticore meat laughing. Climbing High For Dragon Loot, And Down Again For Town To Boot“So what now?” asked Jacob. “I saw a village while coming down the mountain,” said Drake. “I saw it too through auras, I could see Sam’s aura there,” Hunter told the rest still at their make-shift campsite. Ian thought for a moment and pulled out his wallet, and looked at the American money. “Guys,” he pointed out, “I think we’re going to need a way to do business with the locals, for supplies and somewhere to stay.” Drake suddenly had a glint in his eye. “That reminds me,” he says as he tosses huge pure rubies, emeralds, and diamonds out of his quiver and hoodie pockets. Everyone gawks at him as he explains that, “When I crashed, it was into a mountain. At the top there was this huge cave filled with jewels just sitting all over the ground like the place, this was only what I could carry, there’s tons more like the place was abandoned by a-” “DRAGON!” yelled Hunter. A dragon flew over their heads to the cave where Drake was pointing. “I don’t know where we are, but I know all dragons, and I don’t recognize that. I’ve gotta go check it out,” Hunter told the rest. “Plus we could use the jewels as currency,” Mary pointed out. Ian, who was half-asleep stood up and said, “Let’s go, I do enjoy the idea of robbing Smaug.” Jacob looked at him with a serious expression and said, “It wouldn’t be too hard for you, you are a hobbit.” Ian looked at Jacob annoyed and replied, “I’m like a half-foot shorter than you, besides you’re the one with the hairy feet.” Jacob looks at his feet covered with short hair by the ankle and responds, “Touché, cat, touché.” The group began walking up the mountain, occasionally having to climb, when they came across a thin gorge to cross. Being relatively short, they jumped across and continued. They then reached a much larger gorge, with huge rocks and pebbles piled at the bottom next to a crater. Drake laughed a bit when he says, “Sorry guys, my bad.” Mary floats across with a green magic platform, while Drake, Ian, and Jacob jump across, Jacob with Tim on his back. Hunter jumps halfway across missing his mark as he digs his sword into the cliff-side and starts climbing up. “Still a little weak I guess,” Hunter explained. “Hunter, you couldn’t make that jump at full health, much less weakened,” Drake remarked. They reached the top and walk into the cave that Drake mentioned. Abandoned there were massive amounts of jewels everywhere. While everyone else was loading whatever they could with jewels, Hunter was looking at fresh markings on the ground. “Guys check this out, it’s a fresh message, and it’s similar to the language of grass dragons, but not quite the same. From what I can gather, the dragon we saw earlier was looking for the dragon that lived here, and he’s been gone for weeks.” He began gathering jewels and left a little disheartened. They left and began heading towards the village. At the edge of the forest, Sam was waiting for the others, having sat there through the night. She had gotten to know a few of the other ponies, and her thoughts drifted to them. ‘That Twilight is pretty intelligent, her I can get along with. Rarity is a bit of a condescending snob, yet somehow manages to be friendly; heh reminds me of Mary,’ her thoughts notice, ‘that Pinkie one is hyperactive and childish, kind of like Jacob, though even he’s not that hyper. Rainbow Dash is cocky, ignorant, and completely unaware and uncaring of people’s response to her actions, just like Ian. Fluttershy is rather sweet and delicate, like the kind of person Hunter always wants to help. That one Applejack is reliable, and tough as nails, definitely like Drake. I wonder what they’re all doing, they better not be screwing off.’ Just then Twilight walks up and taps her with a hoof. “You’re friends will get here eventually, you said they would. You should get some rest. You can sleep on the couch in the library, I’d offer you the bed, but you’re really tall for it,” Twilight told her. Sam thought about resting in a library and reading a few books. She smiled, and with a nod stood up, following the unicorn. Into Town, Introductions, And The Ponymon CenterWhen we last saw Ash and his friends… wait… wrong fandom. When we last saw our band of misfits, they had just gotten themselves jewels from an abandoned dragon’s cave, let us see what’s going on now. Hunter is leading the group, pale blue glow in his eyes as he sees a rainbow in the distance of splattered auras. The group just makes it out of the forest when Ian asks, “So are we almost there?” Mary points at the buildings ahead and replies, “Well I would think so genius.” They approach in the early light, no one appearing to be up yet. “Does anyone else think these buildings look oddly small?” Jacob asked looking at the small hut-like houses. “They are rather small,” commented Drake. They reach the edge of the town when all the lights in the buildings start turning on. The doors begin opening as the residence begin going about their business. “Wait…” Hunter starts when he is interrupted by Jacob, Tim, and Mary simultaneously saying, “There so cuuuuuute!” Jacob and Tim are hugging as they look at the ponies, as Hunter and Drake facepalm. The outburst gets the attention of the residents as they all begin looking at them oddly. Jacob just smiles goofily while the others stand around awkwardly. “Guys!” exclaims Sam as she runs to the group, six of the ponies following her. “Sam!” the majority of the group exclaims as she walks over to them. “So these are your friends?” Twilight asked Sam. Sam turned to her and said, “Yeah, this is Mary,” as Mary gave a little curtsy, “this is Jacob” who waved with a goofy grin and put his arms behind his head, “that’s Hunter” who gave a slight smile and nodded to her, “Drake” who didn’t smile but gave a slight half-wave, “Tim” who just nodded with a smile and stepped closer to Jacob nervously, “and lastly Ian” who was asleep leaning against a building. Twilight looked at each of them studyingly as Mary kicks Ian awake. She smiled and said, “Well hello, I’m Twilight, and these are my friends.” The other five walk up as Pinkie steps up. “HiI’mPinkiehowareyouareyougoodI'mgoodIreallyreallyhopewecanbefriendsyouguysarecoollookingandneat” Jacob steps up to her and replies, “Awwthanksyou’resweetlikeKimsaidmynameisJacobyouseemfunweshouldhangoutandbecomebestestoffriendsIlovemakingnewfriends.” Hunter, Ian, Drake, and Mary’s jaws dropped as they whined, “There’s t-two of them!?” A white one walks up and gives a little curtsy. She tells them, “Hello darlings, my name is Rarity. Welcome to our little Ponyville.” Jacob stepped back to Hunter and shivered as Hunter groaned. Hunter mutters to Jacob, “She is just spewing diva, I having seen such undeserved self-pride since- oh wait you weren’t in France.” Jacob just shook his head as he asked, “Is there a country other than the U.S. that you and Drake didn’t get banished, arrested, or nearly murdered in?” Hunter thought about it for a minute and replied, “Well there’s wherever the heck we are. Oh and Switzerland, It is really hard to cause trouble in Switzerland.” To everyone’s surprise Mary walked up to her. She brushed her hair out of her eyes as she said, “Hi, I like you’re hair…err…mane. I’m Mary.” Rarity looked at her and scanned her outfit until she finally said, “I like you’re outfit darling, I don’t usually like black clothing, but it suits you well. It is lovely to meet you.” All the guys were slack jawed as they saw Mary get along with someone so quickly. Ian got up and yawned as he stood next to the rest now much more awake… if with a few more side bruises. Just then a cyan colored one with a rainbow mane and tail… flew up. “‘Sup? I'm Rainbow Dash, but feel free to just call me Rainbow, or Dash. You guys are pretty neat lookin’ though I’m about 20% cooler.” Ian looked at her with a smirk as he asked, “Yeah I’m sure, and how many skittles will it take before I can taste the Rainbow?” The grouped groaned as Rainbow Dash grew a furious red and exclaimed, “Why you little…” and began flying at Ian at high speeds just as he began glowing a purple light. “Shiiiiiiit,” he yells as he runs barely keeping ahead of the pissed Pegasus. Hunter, Jacob, and Drake roll on the floor laughing as Drake mutters, “Typical Ian,” while the mares were doing the same thing with Rainbow. “Get back here!” Dash exclaims as Ian runs by the group when Mary trips him and Twilight catches Dash with magic. “Both of you apologize,” Twilight and Sam say in unison then smile at each other. “Sorry,” they both grumble. After the situation calmed down Drake stepped up and said, “Hey, I’m Drake, I have interests that are my and I don’t talk about myself. Takes awhile to know me.” He sits down as an orange mare steps up, “Howdy! Ahm Applejack, it’s great to meet y’all.” Jacob spurred up and replied, “Well howdy, pleasure to meet ya too sugar, ain’t it great us all meetin’?” Applejack looks at him annoyed as she asks, “Are you makin’ fun of ma accent?” Jacob laughs as he replies, “No, well a bit, but mainly because we come from a place called Tennessee, and while we don’t have that much of an accent, a southern drawl is really common there. Well we’re from there ‘cept Mary and Sam, Mary’s originally from a place called New York, and Sam from Texas.” Hunter looked passed the mares to see one shrinking in the back. With a concerned look he gently asked, “You can come and talk to us if you want to, we won’t bite… well Jacob might but he’s on a leash.” He laughs friendlily as he waves for her to come over. She walks over slowly her pink mane and tale a paler color than Pinkie, and her fur a tan color. “O-oh I’m sorry I’m Fluttershy.” Hunter looked at her not hearing and asked, “I’m sorry can you say that again a little louder? I couldn’t hear you.” She stood up a little taller and said, “I’m F-Fluttershy.” Hunter smiles as he replies, “Oh, that’s a lovely name, my name is Hunter, don’t worry I’m friendly.” He looks at her with a kind smile. “Th-thank you.” Hunter ruffles her hair and leans against a wall as the mares stare at him in awe. “I told the girls our predicament,” explained Sam, “And I was wondering if you can get us home Mary.” Mary looked at them with an awkward look as she explained, “When the portal went wrong, it yanked us here from the strong concentration of magic energy, but it isn’t compatible with my dark magic, so now it’s dampening my own abilities, usually I can get energy from the environment around me, but this world is so damn pure I can’t do any major magic.” The group looked around until Jacob shrugged, “Whatever, not like we were exactly accepted by society anyway, I don’t mind chilling here, though we need a place to stay.” Sam grinned at him and said, “Twilight said that her and her friends can give us a place to stay.” Twilight steps up and explains that, “Sam is going to stay with me, and we were going to wait until we met you to decide more.” Just then Pinkie pops and grabs Jacobs arm and begins dragging him away, “Dibs on this one! He’s fun and wecan have a party-and-itll-be-lots-andlotsoffunandwecan havefuuuun!” Jacob just laughs as he’s dragged and says, “Come on Tim, before I lose my arm!” Tim runs after them laughing at the scene. Applejack looks at Drake and hollers, “You look decently strong, come on you can help out on tha’ farm.” She begins walking away as Drake shrugs and follows. Rarity walks over to Mary and says, “Darling, I’d be honored if you’d stay with me, you simply must tell me where you got those fabulous clothes.” The duo walks away as Hunter leans against a wall. Fluttershy walks over to him quietly and nudges his hand with her nose, “Umm, you can stay with me.. if you’d like… you don’t have to,” she whispers. He smiles at her and says, “Sure sounds fun.” And they begin walking towards her house. Rainbow Dash groans as she realizes the only one left is Ian, who is asleep on a haystack. She kicks him in the head waking him up as she says, “Come on you’re gonna stay with me,” and she begins flying away leading him to her home.
Magical MishapSuperheroes, people who use their powers to help the world for the greater good. Supervillains, powered men and women who use their powers for personal gain completely uncaring to who they harm to get what they want. We bring you to the home of the Mistress of black magic Mary, and her powered friends gather to meet her. They are neither of the before mentioned types of people, as they frankly don’t give a shit. These are our “heroes” the Slacker Six, and they’re about to face a challenge they’ve never faced before. “What could they want with you after all these months Sensei?” asked a young teen with blond hair and blue eyes in brown robes facing his Sensei, Jacob a tall teen with light brown hair and grey eyes who is known simply as Jacob. (Not heroes remember?) “Well I’m not really sure Tim, but hey they can’t have a reunion without king goofball can they?” replied Jacob with a knock on the door. The door swung open with a creek revealing the inside of the old mansion that appeared to be abandoned. “Creepy, does Mary actually live here Sensei?” asked the young Tim. “Yeah she does Tim, she loves being as creepy as possible, though trust me she is about as harmless as any of us,” Jacob told him. They walk in heading towards a back room where a pale light was coming from. “But you massacred a herd of charging bulls single handedly….” Tim said nervously. “Like I said she’s as harmless as any of us.” Bursting through the door Jacob yelled a cheerful, “Hey guys how y’all doin?” Which got him looks from the three people already in the room. “Hey Jacob god to see you,” said Hunter, was oldest of the group at 19, with dark brown hair, blue eyes, and glasses, a katana strapped to his back, “how is it you are the only person who my hyper intuition doesn’t warn me when you’re about to do something?” Jacob replied, “Told you before, must be ‘cause I’m so random. How are you Drake?” Drake was sitting in the corner, reading some note when he looked up, brown hair shining in the light as his brown eyes stared at them with a general seriousness for some unknown reason, his bow and quiver sitting next to him as his dagger hangs off of his hip. He spoke in with a monotone seeming youthful and old at the same time as he said, “I’m doing as good as usual, good to see you, any idea why we’re here?” “Nope!” Jacob replied with a smile. Just the Jacob is hugged from behind. “How are you doing Sam?” He said without turning around. Sam, a shorter girl with brown hair and eyes and bronze skin was looking at Jacob as he turned around her glasses glinting in the light. “I'm doing good, been working on a way to cure cancer,” she told him. “Wow, you really are an overachiever, not to mention genius,” Jacob said as he flopped on the couch. Just then Mary walked in from the next room in her usual black coat with a green pentagram that matches her green eyes, her long black hair falling down to her waist. “Hello!” she said with a childish innocent voice, “great that you could make it.” Tim walked in after he saw her come in from the other side and remained quiet. Jacob perked up and said “Guys meet Tim, he’s my new apprentice.” They all told him hello as he gave a quiet ‘hi’ and sat by Jacob. “I am teaching him the arts in those ancient forbidden scrolls me and Hunter found, I only needed the ones that match my style, and Hunter only studied them for the sword techniques.” Hunter suddenly looked nervous as he said, “Which ones have you been teaching him?” “I taught him Scrolls A, C, H, and N under division 4.” “Those are very dangerous scrolls Jacob; you better know what you’re doing,” Suddenly there was a screechy yowl as the last person walked in. He was wearing a blue jacket and leather pants with shoulder length black hair and purple eyes. He finishes yawning and sits down as Jacob groans loudly. “You invited him?” Mary responded with, “Sorry Jacob I know you don’t like Ian but I needed all of us for this.” Drake asked, “You gonna tell us what we’re doing now miss magic?” She nodded as she walked into the next room and waved for them to follow and everyone walked in. On the floor was a large pentagram with circles on the corners. “I’ve been practicing a spell to open portals and to do it I need someone to be on each corner, but there were two problems. One was the obvious fact that most people aren’t exactly willing to help with dark magic, though the second was more important. The magic is at such a high concentration it would... uh... kill any normal person.” “So you using us expecting our powers to keep us safe, actually pretty smart,” said Hunter. “You guys forgetting that I'm only resistant to a human degree right?” Drake pointed out. “Unless we piss you off, and I’d say the pain would do that,” said Sam. “Good point,” Drake responded. “So this is gonna hurt?” said Ian. “Won’t bug me,” said Jacob, “God bless the inability to feel pain.” While the rest sat on a corner Drake faced Mary and asked, “And if we refuse?” Suddenly Mary’s eyes glowed red and in a demonic voiced answered, “I WILL DEVOUR YOUR SOUL!” then she giggled and stood in the middle of the pentagram as Drake shrugged and sat down. “MOVERTUS UNIM!” Mary exclaimed as a green energy began encircling them all as they began to react each with their own abilities. Hunter was first to react as a thin light blue aura surrounded him with a slight groan as he concentrated trying to ignore the pain. Drake was gasping and groaning as he began looking grim and his eyes got red and strained. Ian’s eyes began glowing purple as his nails extended into claws and he crouched tightly straining as a purple tail grew from the back of his waist. Jacob unlike the others looked rather calm, unable to feel pain as his chest bulged and stubble grew over his exposed skin and his face began taking on canine qualities with narrow features, an extended nose and his teeth became sharp. Sam was groaning and grimacing with pain and a portal opened as she screamed and passed out. The portal began shaking and deforming as they were all sucked through it. “SENSEI!” yelled Tim as he saw them get sucked through as he jumped through the purple vortex behind them as it snapped shut behind him. He was flung hard into the ground. With a groan he stood up and saw Jacob standing next to him with a smirk. “You can’t land better than that? Tuck and roll numbskull,” he said holding out a hand. “Where are we Sensei?” asked Tim. “Some kind of forest Tim.” Jacob replied. Somewhere else in the distance Drake was falling fast as he saw the ground below him. He shifted slightly aiming towards the top of a mountain as he smashed into the top crushing through half the mountain and stopped on one knee fist in the ground bruised and bloody. He looked around to realize he got himself stuck in a hole. “Well crap”, he said as he stood up. He looked at his battered body and swung his bow and quiver on his back as he began climbing the side of the ditch. Ian was falling rapidly towards trees when with a purple energy surrounding him he kicked off the top of a tree then jumped across the treetops until he slowed down enough to jump down. He leaned against a tree and drifted to sleep to rest for a bit, having used a ton of energy. Just a few hundred yards away Mary was falling, while laughing maniacally. She slammed hard into the ground, and with and oomph quietly giggled, “Oops.” Hunter was falling towards a lake when he quickly pulled out his katana and began spinning at high speeds slowing himself, hitting the lake like he merely jumped in. After swimming to the side and getting out he looked around. “Where are the others?” he said to himself. He got on one knee as his eyes glowed a pale blue as various strings of colors appeared in his vision. He looked to the east and saw a grass green aura next to a red aura. “There are Jacob and Tim,” he muttered. He looked south and could see a blue-green aura, and a purple aura, though they were not near each other. “Mary and Ian.” He turned west to see a gray aura apparently inside a mountain. “Heh Drake,” he said with a smirk. He turned north to see a rainbow of auras and a dim brown one falling towards it quickly. “It must be a town, and Sam’s falling fast better go help her.” Sam was falling high speed when a purple magic surrounded her and she was stopped just above the ground. She looked around to see a small village filled with…ponies? “W-where am I?” she said. “You’re in Ponyville,” said a purple unicorn standing next to a pink pony and an orange one. “Hi! I’m Pinkie-Pie you look hurt are you okay? What are you? Hey whoareyouidontknowthatmeansyour anewfriendyayijustlovemeetinganewpersonyaaaaywegottathrowapartydoyoulikepartiesiloveparties!” Sam grabbed her head in pain. “An ahm Applejack,” said the orange one. Sam passed out.
First Day Of The Rest Of You're Life (Maybe)“God. Damn. Mountain. I really need to work on my aim,” Drake muttered to himself as he climbed the inside of the crater he created on impact, “So effing tall I better not f-craaaap.” He slipped falling towards the base of the mountain again until he pulled out his dagger and plunged it into the side of the mountain. “This is gonna take awhile.” Meanwhile, in the middle of the unknown forest, Jacob and Tim are walking along trying to find a way out. “Sensei, where are we?” asked Tim rather nervously. “I dunno, just keep walking.” Suddenly a ferocious roar could be heard and Jacob sniffed rather crudely, “It smells kinda like cat, like a bird, and like a scorpion. It’s weird it seems to be one creature but sure-” “SENSEI!” yelled Tim pointing to the odd creature approaching them hungrily. With a shine in his eyes and a laugh Jacob told him, “It’s a manticore, a real manticore; I’ve got this Tim stay back.” Laughing, Jacob’s form began to change as he tossed his shirt to reveal his chest and whole body becoming covered in short hair as his face gets a pulled out look with his nose and mouth extending and teeth sharpening, as his nails become claws. He releases a large howl at the end of his transformation. “…I will never get used to that,” chuckled Tim as he watched Jacob charge. Jacob dash quickly and dived under the manticore’s swinging tail and jumped onto its head, “Here kitty kitty,” Jacob taunted as the manticore swung its tail at him. Jacob dived at the last second causing the manticore to plow its tail into its own head. “Heh, stupid cat, can’t stand the things,” Jacob muttered. “Well you are a dog Sensei,” Tim quipped. “Shaddup.” Jacob ran behind the manticore as is swung a paw at him bashing him in the side and knocking him into a tree leaving a huge gash in his side. “Oh, you’re gonna pay for that,” Jacob said snidely as he spat out blood. He charged behind him and bit down hard on his tail ripping it off as the manticore screeched. The manticore began running away as Jacob charged after smashing the tail through the manticore’s neck. “S-sensei?” muttered Tim. Jacob returned to normal and put his shirt back on. “Sorry, got the taste of blood, went a little nuts, anyway let’s get a fire going, we got dinner.” “MRAWR!” yelled Ian as he’s slapped in the face. He stood up quickly and glared at his assaulter. “Bought time you woke up,” said Mary. “What was that for?” Ian muttered indignantly. “You're little ‘cat-naps’ take hours and we need to start moving towards that village I could see while falling.” Ian started going backed to sleep as he quietly asked, “Why go there, I’m sleepy.” Mary kicked him in the side as she began to explain, “Because all of us other than you have the common sense to head towards civilization to meet each other, since it’s the only obvious point we’d all think of.” Ian gets up annoyed as he glares at her with his purple eyes. “Fine I’m coming, though that village better have some damn milk or I’m gonna be pissed,” he replied. Somewhere else in the forest, Hunter is walking towards the village he saw in the aura realm. “It shouldn’t be too far now just need to get out of these woods.” Suddenly a barrage of howls could be heard. “Oh, wonderful, wolves,” Hunter said dryly as a whole pack of thirty started surrounding him. Still in aura vision, he noticed they appeared to be plants, but when he returned his sight to normal he noticed something odder. “They’re made of wood!?” He drew his sword preparing for a fight when the first one charged. He struck hard cutting through it as the wood collapsed. Just then the entire pack attacked and Hunter began slicing and dashing dodging there attacks. Realizing they were overwhelming him he got on one knee as he concentrated, his body glowing a pale blue, the energy moved to his sword. With a spin he sent the energy in a carved circle tearing them apart. Hunter lay still looking at the broken wood. “Glad that’s over,” he muttered barely on the edge of the consciousness. Then he noticed something in the corner of his eye. The wood began slowly creeping together. It began forming into a giant wolf creature that started charging at him. He stood up weakly and held up his sword. “W-well sh-shit,” he stuttered weakly as it slapped him with a wooden paw and he flew 20 feet into a tree and slumped down. It jumped to bite him when it is suddenly sent flying to the left and smashes into the ground. “Wh-what?” Hunter looks up to see Drake standing over him with a smile. “You didn’t expect me to let my best friend get eaten after all the crazy stuff we’ve been through do you? It’s just like Germany,” Drake said. “This is a b-bit different then Germany heh,” Hunter replied. “You’ve got a point there, but I’ve got this,” Drake said as he turned to the wolf beast. In the village, Sam regained consciousness. “Wh-what a dream,” she said to herself as she looked up and saw the unicorn from earlier, “Oh, not a dream.” The unicorn looked at her and said, “Glad to see you’re awake. How do you feel?” Kim looked at it, her, since she could tell it was a girl, and replied, “Well for someone who was hurt by black magic, ripped through a portal to apparently a different universe, and fell hundreds of feet, pretty good.” The unicorn looked at her nervously, “So you were brought here by dark magic?” Sam could see her nervousness and attempted to calm her by saying, “Well yes, it was black magic, but it wasn’t dangerous or evil, my friend Mary practices black magic but she isn’t evil, speaking of which, where’s the others?” The unicorn looked at her oddly, “Others?” Sam walked outside and the unicorn followed. “Yeah there were others, but they may have landed somewhere else,” Sam explained, “So what’s your name?” The purple unicorn looked at her and said, “Twilight, and yours?” “Its Sam,” Sam told her. “And, um sorry, but, what are you?” Twilight ask. “My friends and I are humans; well most of us, Jacob and Ian barely qualify.” They then hear a loud howl in the distance. “Oh no, a howl that loud must be an alpha timberwolf,” Twilight said worried. “No, I’d recognize that howl anywhere, that’s Jacob going dog; I feel sorry for whatever attacked him,” said Sam just as they heard a different howl from another direction “Now that one may be an alpha whatever you said.” She looked in the direction it came from and saw and odd mountain that looked as if though it had been cut in half. “We don’t know what happened to that mountain,” said Twilight guessing her thoughts, “It was fine this morning then there was this loud smashing sound and it split from the top.” Sam smiled with the realization, “Drake must’ve landed there which means he’s probably the one the timberwolf thing is attacking, and Hunter is probably with them knowing those two, hope the wolf will be okay.” Twilight gave her a confused look as Sam began walking forward. “Better go wait by the forest for those guys, they’d make their way here.” Author's Note So, how is my magical misfit group?
PETA's PissedHave you ever seen that movie with Liam Neeson where he fights a bunch of wolves? If you haven’t, don’t it sucks. As Drake is staring down the Alpha Timberwolf in a Liam Neeson-y fashion, the wolf was paying more attention to its smashed in cheek. The Alpha turned to him and howled as it began charging forward. Drake pulled out his bow and fired arrows rapidly, but did very little damage, the wolf being made of wood. “Oh you are an annoying wolf aren’t you? You are starting to piss me off as it is, don’t make me angrier,” Drake snipped. Hunter was behind him, barely able to move from the stunt he pulled with his sword. While he thought Drake could more than likely tear it apart, there was nothing to keep it from reforming, so while Drake fought, he planned diligently. Drake pulled out his dagger ready to fight it hand to paw, and jumped on its head. He began carving at it, cutting huge chunks like an axe in… well… wood. The wolf lurched up and Drake jumped gaining a huge boost in the air, as he turned to his side and crashed into it with a pile-driver, causing the wood to shatter and splinter through the middle of the wolf until it busted in half. Drake laughed thinking it was over. He walked over to Hunter and began helping him up. “Well that thing wasn’t too tough, should we call PETA and tell them a harmless creature was killed?” joked Drake. Hunter looks over to the creature slowly reforming back together and comments, “Check before you assume things are dead Drake, look at that thing!” Drake turns and looks as the two ends reconnect and stands up growling at them ferociously. He groans as he turns and fires an arrow and thinks about what to do. Elsewhere in the woods, Jacob and Tim are heading towards the growls and commotion they heard. Jacob is casually dragging the manticore behind him, expecting to eat it later. Jacob reaches the top of a small hill, revealing a small clearing of the forest where a river runs through and animals drink. “Cannibal!” exclaims Jacob when he jumps into the river. “Um… isn’t it cannonball Sensei?” Tim confusedly asked. Jacob merely glares at him as he pulls some dog jerky out of his pocket and chewed it slowly. Tim chuckles as he says, “I don’t think dog jerky is made from actual dogs Sensei, heh.” With a grin Tim dives in the river and swims around. They hear another loud howl as they both jump out of the river and throw on shirts and Tim put on his cloak. “We should really check that out,” Jacob says as he begins running. “Wait... *gasp* Sensei… *gasp* can’t… *gasp*run… *gasp* that fast *gasp*,” Tim calls trailing behind. Back in the fray, Drake bashes it around while trying to not use to much energy, unknowing how long it will take to destroy it. He kicks it into the ground fracturing its skull. Hunter is thinking how to beat it when suddenly the obvious hit him. “Drake!” he exclaims. “Yeah!?” Drake yells back as he kicks it to the side. “It’s made of wood!” Hunter points out. “Oh really, I didn’t fucking notice,” Drake snips back mad at the obvious statement when he twists the wolves paw off. “I mean it’s flammable idiot!” Hunter explains. Suddenly Drake gets what he’s saying when he asked, “How do we set it on fire?” Looking at Drake’s quiver he asked, “Do you still have those flint arrows?” Drake pulls one out and says, “Of course I do ever since-” “We both agreed to never speak of what happened in Switzerland!” Hunter interrupted. Nodding Drake fires the arrow into the wolf’s side and shoots it with a steel arrow causing a spark, fire spouting up the wolf’s side. The wolf rolled over putting out the fire, and fresh wood grew over the burnt spot. “DAMMIT!” Drake and Hunter spouted in unison. Jacob and Tim had just arrived to see the wolf catch on fire and roll over. Turning to Tim, Jacob told him, “Stay back here, we may need you if we can’t figure out a safer way to end this.” Tim nodded as Jacob ran over to Hunter. “Hey man, are you alright?” Jacob asked him, seeing that he couldn’t move. Hunter turned to him and gave a slight sigh, “Thank goodness, we could use any help, even yours Husky. Yeah, I’m okay, I just used to much energy.” Jacob nodded and looked at his katana on the ground. Picking it up, he asked him, “Hey, I saw what you tried to do and I have a plan, can I borrow your sword?” Hunter looked at him oddly and asked him, “Do you even know how to use that thing?” Jacob looked at him annoyed and responded, “Of course I know how to use this thing, what’s so hard to understand about ‘swish-swish-stab’ it’s a sword, not a fucking fighter-jet.” Hunter cracked a smile and with a shrug said, “Sure, go for it.” Jacob nods and looks and spots what he’s looking for, a large dead tree with leaves hanging limply all over. He dashes to it and shouts to Drake, “Smash it again!” Drake nods at him and begins tearing it to pieces. Turning to the tree, Jacob takes a hard swing and cuts the tree down, and he kicks it on the wolf’s lumber. The timberwolf reforms with the new wood and is doubled in size. “HUSKY YOU IDIOT!” both Hunter and Drake yell in sync as the wolf lets out a howl. Then Hunter notices all of the dried out crackly leaves covering the Alpha’s body and yells, “Husky, you’re a genius!” Drake catches on quickly and fires another flint arrow in the center of the densest patch of leaves and quickly fires the second arrow. The sparks hit the leaves and the wolf is engulfed in flames. It begins rolling around and whimpering as the fire burns on. Slowly the entire outer wood becomes black and the wolf stops moving. Jacob quickly sets up two posts next to the burning wolf and shoves a thin tree through the manticore he killed. Dragging it to the wolf, Drake and Hunter give him an odd look as he tosses it on the post. Turning the side of the tree and spinning the manticore he asks them, “Manticore meat anyone?” Thirty minutes later Jacob, Tim, Hunter, and Drake sit around the fire eating the manticore. Finishing his sixth serving, Jacob looks at the rest and says, “You know, I may hate spikey kittens, but they taste amazing.” They all face-palm just as they hear a scream. Mary and Ian had just walked out of the woods and the carcass of the manticore was crushing Ian as he had sleepwalked into the poles knocking it off. Jacob threw the carcass off of him and exclaimed, “Yay, I saved Ian!” Jacob then thought for a second and muttered, “Oh, I saved Ian.” Ian glared at him, and everyone else just stared, other than Hunter who was trying not to choke on his manticore meat laughing.
Climbing High For Dragon Loot, And Down Again For Town To Boot“So what now?” asked Jacob. “I saw a village while coming down the mountain,” said Drake. “I saw it too through auras, I could see Sam’s aura there,” Hunter told the rest still at their make-shift campsite. Ian thought for a moment and pulled out his wallet, and looked at the American money. “Guys,” he pointed out, “I think we’re going to need a way to do business with the locals, for supplies and somewhere to stay.” Drake suddenly had a glint in his eye. “That reminds me,” he says as he tosses huge pure rubies, emeralds, and diamonds out of his quiver and hoodie pockets. Everyone gawks at him as he explains that, “When I crashed, it was into a mountain. At the top there was this huge cave filled with jewels just sitting all over the ground like the place, this was only what I could carry, there’s tons more like the place was abandoned by a-” “DRAGON!” yelled Hunter. A dragon flew over their heads to the cave where Drake was pointing. “I don’t know where we are, but I know all dragons, and I don’t recognize that. I’ve gotta go check it out,” Hunter told the rest. “Plus we could use the jewels as currency,” Mary pointed out. Ian, who was half-asleep stood up and said, “Let’s go, I do enjoy the idea of robbing Smaug.” Jacob looked at him with a serious expression and said, “It wouldn’t be too hard for you, you are a hobbit.” Ian looked at Jacob annoyed and replied, “I’m like a half-foot shorter than you, besides you’re the one with the hairy feet.” Jacob looks at his feet covered with short hair by the ankle and responds, “Touché, cat, touché.” The group began walking up the mountain, occasionally having to climb, when they came across a thin gorge to cross. Being relatively short, they jumped across and continued. They then reached a much larger gorge, with huge rocks and pebbles piled at the bottom next to a crater. Drake laughed a bit when he says, “Sorry guys, my bad.” Mary floats across with a green magic platform, while Drake, Ian, and Jacob jump across, Jacob with Tim on his back. Hunter jumps halfway across missing his mark as he digs his sword into the cliff-side and starts climbing up. “Still a little weak I guess,” Hunter explained. “Hunter, you couldn’t make that jump at full health, much less weakened,” Drake remarked. They reached the top and walk into the cave that Drake mentioned. Abandoned there were massive amounts of jewels everywhere. While everyone else was loading whatever they could with jewels, Hunter was looking at fresh markings on the ground. “Guys check this out, it’s a fresh message, and it’s similar to the language of grass dragons, but not quite the same. From what I can gather, the dragon we saw earlier was looking for the dragon that lived here, and he’s been gone for weeks.” He began gathering jewels and left a little disheartened. They left and began heading towards the village. At the edge of the forest, Sam was waiting for the others, having sat there through the night. She had gotten to know a few of the other ponies, and her thoughts drifted to them. ‘That Twilight is pretty intelligent, her I can get along with. Rarity is a bit of a condescending snob, yet somehow manages to be friendly; heh reminds me of Mary,’ her thoughts notice, ‘that Pinkie one is hyperactive and childish, kind of like Jacob, though even he’s not that hyper. Rainbow Dash is cocky, ignorant, and completely unaware and uncaring of people’s response to her actions, just like Ian. Fluttershy is rather sweet and delicate, like the kind of person Hunter always wants to help. That one Applejack is reliable, and tough as nails, definitely like Drake. I wonder what they’re all doing, they better not be screwing off.’ Just then Twilight walks up and taps her with a hoof. “You’re friends will get here eventually, you said they would. You should get some rest. You can sleep on the couch in the library, I’d offer you the bed, but you’re really tall for it,” Twilight told her. Sam thought about resting in a library and reading a few books. She smiled, and with a nod stood up, following the unicorn.
Into Town, Introductions, And The Ponymon CenterWhen we last saw Ash and his friends… wait… wrong fandom. When we last saw our band of misfits, they had just gotten themselves jewels from an abandoned dragon’s cave, let us see what’s going on now. Hunter is leading the group, pale blue glow in his eyes as he sees a rainbow in the distance of splattered auras. The group just makes it out of the forest when Ian asks, “So are we almost there?” Mary points at the buildings ahead and replies, “Well I would think so genius.” They approach in the early light, no one appearing to be up yet. “Does anyone else think these buildings look oddly small?” Jacob asked looking at the small hut-like houses. “They are rather small,” commented Drake. They reach the edge of the town when all the lights in the buildings start turning on. The doors begin opening as the residence begin going about their business. “Wait…” Hunter starts when he is interrupted by Jacob, Tim, and Mary simultaneously saying, “There so cuuuuuute!” Jacob and Tim are hugging as they look at the ponies, as Hunter and Drake facepalm. The outburst gets the attention of the residents as they all begin looking at them oddly. Jacob just smiles goofily while the others stand around awkwardly. “Guys!” exclaims Sam as she runs to the group, six of the ponies following her. “Sam!” the majority of the group exclaims as she walks over to them. “So these are your friends?” Twilight asked Sam. Sam turned to her and said, “Yeah, this is Mary,” as Mary gave a little curtsy, “this is Jacob” who waved with a goofy grin and put his arms behind his head, “that’s Hunter” who gave a slight smile and nodded to her, “Drake” who didn’t smile but gave a slight half-wave, “Tim” who just nodded with a smile and stepped closer to Jacob nervously, “and lastly Ian” who was asleep leaning against a building. Twilight looked at each of them studyingly as Mary kicks Ian awake. She smiled and said, “Well hello, I’m Twilight, and these are my friends.” The other five walk up as Pinkie steps up. “HiI’mPinkiehowareyouareyougoodI'mgoodIreallyreallyhopewecanbefriendsyouguysarecoollookingandneat” Jacob steps up to her and replies, “Awwthanksyou’resweetlikeKimsaidmynameisJacobyouseemfunweshouldhangoutandbecomebestestoffriendsIlovemakingnewfriends.” Hunter, Ian, Drake, and Mary’s jaws dropped as they whined, “There’s t-two of them!?” A white one walks up and gives a little curtsy. She tells them, “Hello darlings, my name is Rarity. Welcome to our little Ponyville.” Jacob stepped back to Hunter and shivered as Hunter groaned. Hunter mutters to Jacob, “She is just spewing diva, I having seen such undeserved self-pride since- oh wait you weren’t in France.” Jacob just shook his head as he asked, “Is there a country other than the U.S. that you and Drake didn’t get banished, arrested, or nearly murdered in?” Hunter thought about it for a minute and replied, “Well there’s wherever the heck we are. Oh and Switzerland, It is really hard to cause trouble in Switzerland.” To everyone’s surprise Mary walked up to her. She brushed her hair out of her eyes as she said, “Hi, I like you’re hair…err…mane. I’m Mary.” Rarity looked at her and scanned her outfit until she finally said, “I like you’re outfit darling, I don’t usually like black clothing, but it suits you well. It is lovely to meet you.” All the guys were slack jawed as they saw Mary get along with someone so quickly. Ian got up and yawned as he stood next to the rest now much more awake… if with a few more side bruises. Just then a cyan colored one with a rainbow mane and tail… flew up. “‘Sup? I'm Rainbow Dash, but feel free to just call me Rainbow, or Dash. You guys are pretty neat lookin’ though I’m about 20% cooler.” Ian looked at her with a smirk as he asked, “Yeah I’m sure, and how many skittles will it take before I can taste the Rainbow?” The grouped groaned as Rainbow Dash grew a furious red and exclaimed, “Why you little…” and began flying at Ian at high speeds just as he began glowing a purple light. “Shiiiiiiit,” he yells as he runs barely keeping ahead of the pissed Pegasus. Hunter, Jacob, and Drake roll on the floor laughing as Drake mutters, “Typical Ian,” while the mares were doing the same thing with Rainbow. “Get back here!” Dash exclaims as Ian runs by the group when Mary trips him and Twilight catches Dash with magic. “Both of you apologize,” Twilight and Sam say in unison then smile at each other. “Sorry,” they both grumble. After the situation calmed down Drake stepped up and said, “Hey, I’m Drake, I have interests that are my and I don’t talk about myself. Takes awhile to know me.” He sits down as an orange mare steps up, “Howdy! Ahm Applejack, it’s great to meet y’all.” Jacob spurred up and replied, “Well howdy, pleasure to meet ya too sugar, ain’t it great us all meetin’?” Applejack looks at him annoyed as she asks, “Are you makin’ fun of ma accent?” Jacob laughs as he replies, “No, well a bit, but mainly because we come from a place called Tennessee, and while we don’t have that much of an accent, a southern drawl is really common there. Well we’re from there ‘cept Mary and Sam, Mary’s originally from a place called New York, and Sam from Texas.” Hunter looked passed the mares to see one shrinking in the back. With a concerned look he gently asked, “You can come and talk to us if you want to, we won’t bite… well Jacob might but he’s on a leash.” He laughs friendlily as he waves for her to come over. She walks over slowly her pink mane and tale a paler color than Pinkie, and her fur a tan color. “O-oh I’m sorry I’m Fluttershy.” Hunter looked at her not hearing and asked, “I’m sorry can you say that again a little louder? I couldn’t hear you.” She stood up a little taller and said, “I’m F-Fluttershy.” Hunter smiles as he replies, “Oh, that’s a lovely name, my name is Hunter, don’t worry I’m friendly.” He looks at her with a kind smile. “Th-thank you.” Hunter ruffles her hair and leans against a wall as the mares stare at him in awe. “I told the girls our predicament,” explained Sam, “And I was wondering if you can get us home Mary.” Mary looked at them with an awkward look as she explained, “When the portal went wrong, it yanked us here from the strong concentration of magic energy, but it isn’t compatible with my dark magic, so now it’s dampening my own abilities, usually I can get energy from the environment around me, but this world is so damn pure I can’t do any major magic.” The group looked around until Jacob shrugged, “Whatever, not like we were exactly accepted by society anyway, I don’t mind chilling here, though we need a place to stay.” Sam grinned at him and said, “Twilight said that her and her friends can give us a place to stay.” Twilight steps up and explains that, “Sam is going to stay with me, and we were going to wait until we met you to decide more.” Just then Pinkie pops and grabs Jacobs arm and begins dragging him away, “Dibs on this one! He’s fun and wecan have a party-and-itll-be-lots-andlotsoffunandwecan havefuuuun!” Jacob just laughs as he’s dragged and says, “Come on Tim, before I lose my arm!” Tim runs after them laughing at the scene. Applejack looks at Drake and hollers, “You look decently strong, come on you can help out on tha’ farm.” She begins walking away as Drake shrugs and follows. Rarity walks over to Mary and says, “Darling, I’d be honored if you’d stay with me, you simply must tell me where you got those fabulous clothes.” The duo walks away as Hunter leans against a wall. Fluttershy walks over to him quietly and nudges his hand with her nose, “Umm, you can stay with me.. if you’d like… you don’t have to,” she whispers. He smiles at her and says, “Sure sounds fun.” And they begin walking towards her house. Rainbow Dash groans as she realizes the only one left is Ian, who is asleep on a haystack. She kicks him in the head waking him up as she says, “Come on you’re gonna stay with me,” and she begins flying away leading him to her home.
