Rave Riders

"Outside Equis"

"So this is were that rookie wound up huh?" said a masculine creature wearing heavy armor looking down at the blue planet. "Well at least this makes this hole scavenger hunt easier." He said giving a tooth grin showing all of his fangs.

He started to plummet down to the earth laughing the hole while, and as he finally entered the atmosphere his grin only got bigger. "Now it's time brat! I'm coming for you!" He said as he made his was east to the location of his pray.

"20 minutes from Fluttershy's cottage"

"Sister why on earth are you in such a hurry to get to ponyville?" Luna said in a huff.

The royal sisters had made plans after the surprise visit of the masked man to go to ponyville to tell the protectors of there worlds most powerful artifacts the Elements of Harmony  to be prepared for trouble.

"You know the answer to that Lulu." Celestia said with a smirk

"Oh please will you stop with that Nickname!" Luna said with a blush

Celestia could only give a quick chuckle before focusing her attention to the felling shes had since that day that the masked man visited them.

"what is he planing. I have never seen him so......anxious." Celestia took the time to admire the view from the chariot truth be told she doesn't get out much on account of being a monarch.

"Luna what do you think it means to be a king?" Celestia asked looking out the window with a blank expression.

"Well that's an odd question to ask out of the blue. um.........well I guess to be a king you have to be....?" Luna said trying to answer the question but was fumbling a bit.

Before she could finish her thought celestia spoke like she was in a daze. "Honesty, Loyalty, Generosity, Kindness, Laughter, and the magic that only a king can give there people. Sounds familiar doesn't it?" she said looking out into the vast landscape.

"whats this about sister? I've never seen you like this before." Luna said with worry for her sisters health.

"It's nothing its just a thought I've had lately." Celestia said with a thoughtful expression. "so Noah what will happen next I wonder." She said looking up at the blue sky.

"Fluttershy's cottage"

"So let me get this strait." The purple woman mare said looking at Fluttershy and her strange visitor.

For the past 10 minutes I tried to explained the situation I am in and how I arrived here in the first place. It's needless to say that everyone was skeptical even Me.

"you're from another world."  said pointing to me I only nod my head

"And you were sent here because of some guy wearing a mask who told you that you were to play a game where you use this board thing called Rave gear to fight." The Blue mare said looking at the Rave gear again I could only nod my head.

"And finally you're stuck here until you can find a way home?" The orange mare said tilting her hat again I gave a nod.

After a few minutes of awkward silence everyone calmly and collectively said "NO WAY!"

I could only sit there and agree with them cause really he didn't have any evidence to back up his claim except for the Rave gear and that really wasn't enough to prove his story.

"Everypony he's telling the truth I swear!" Fluttershy said trying to convince everyone.

"Don't worry about it Fluttershy at this point I can hardly believe it myself." I say Full accepting the fact that this hole situation is happening. "I know my story is really far fetched and to be totally honest I cant understand why I'm here." I say as I put my hands over my face. "Please don't be upset with Fluttershy, it's not her fault I wound up here. It's my fault for getting a big head."

I get to my feet and look at them with the most honest expression I can give. "If you wont believe what I've said so far then please believe me when I say That I need to get home. I have friends, family, a life I have back home! I can't stay here I need to head home as fast as possible. I don't belong here! So please I know this is asking a lot of a group I just met! But please help me get home!" I say getting on my knees and clenching my fists so hard I can fell like i'm drawing blood.

After a few seconds of silence I feel a hand on my shoulder and I look up to see Rainbow dash giving me a sincere smile.

"Hey man we didn't believe everything you said just the hole guy in the mask thing. I mean come on man that sounds like something from a comic." The blue mare said with a chuckle

well at least its a step in the right direction even if they don't believe in that guy. I get up and look to see everyone giving me a friendly smile.

"well I guess if you're stuck here its best to get introductions over with. My name is Twilight sparkle." she said as she gave me a firm hand shake which was surprising considering here girlish figure. she wore a simple sleeveless top with a 6 pointed star on her chest, she also had on sweat pants which showed of her......stuff.

"I'm Applejack proud member of the Apple family." The orange mare known as applejack said giving me a handshake that actually felt like my hand was getting squished by a sledgehammer. She wore a brown vest with a simple white muscle shirt and some brown cowgirl pants, and finally she wore a brown stetson.

"seriously do all of these girls have super freak strength!"

"I'm Rainbow dash! Fastest flyer in Equestria! and the one sitting over there in the chair about to explode is Pinkie pie." The blue mare known as Rainbow dash said pointing to the pink mare named Pinkie

"big shocker there." I thought looking over the both of them. Rainbow was wearing some black shorts with a matching tank top with holes in the back to show her wings and pinkie was wearing a striped dress with a skirt that is WAY to short.

The last mare to introduce herself was a white mare with black jeans wearing a red sweater with black long sleeve vest on top. She got up from her chair and walked around me, looking me over like a hawk. "you said you're name was Naru correct." she asked so quickly I jumped back a little.

"y-yes mam!" I say louder than I mean to with a obvious blush on my face.

"I see well my name is Rarity nice to meet you Darling." Rarity said introducing herself "Now that introductions are out of the way may I ask a question Darling." she asked looking me over one last time.

"Um yes of course." I say scratching my head. What he didn't notice was the death stare Fluttershy was giving Rarity.

"I'm interested in your body darling." Rarity said with a blank expression.

"WHAT WOE WOE WOE! THAT'S A LITTLE RANDOM DON'T YOU THINK!" I say waving my hands in front of me like a shield. As i say this she grabs my hands and her horn thing starts to glow and my pants start to slowly fall. "Are you guys gonna help me!" I say looking back at the others only to see Twilight taking notes, pinkie looking confused, Applejack and rainbow laughing like hell, and fluttershy looking through her hands.

"BIG HELP YOU ARE!" I say trying to squeeze out of Rarity's iron grip. "ok um....god..... anyone who's listening! please I'l do anything just HELP ME!" As that thought crosses my mind a loud boom could be heard outside. Everyone rushed outside to find a fire in the distance.

"OH NO!" Twilight said covering her mouth with her hands.

"PONYVILLE IS ON FIRE!" Rainbow said with a emotionless expression.

"COME ON EVERYPONY! WE GOT TO GO HELP!" Applejack said as she started bolting to town.

I look out at the town and I have a deep hole in the bottom of my stomach that something about this seems a little to convenient. I look back at my Rave gear and I look back at the town I grab my necklace and start to walk to town. I activate my Board and it comes soaring after me I jump up and I lock to the gear and I start to soar to town.

"This is my fault I have to stop this!" I say with the air rushing against my face.

"ponyville"

As everyone arrives on the scene they can see the towns folk at town hall huddled up in a group with what looks to be a large creature wearing heavy armor with a giant iron hammer over his shoulder watching them with a bored expression.

"ARE YOU THE ONE WHO DID THIS!" Twilight said looking at the beast in front them.

"Huh?" The creature said turning around to show his face, he had brown hair with a pale blue face and a hole group of sharp teeth, his body was shaped like a Minotaur but completely covered from head to toe in armor.

"Oh you're just more small fry's. you're not the one I'm looking for." he said with a bored look. "I'm getting tired of waiting for that brat!" he said as he walked over to the villagers. Everyone tried to scoot away from him but to no avail.

"where are the guards!" Rarity said looking around only to see the guards in a heap beaten to a bloody pulp.

"The royal guards were beaten so easily, But how!?" twilight said looking at the guards.

"Oh them! please give me more credit than that!" he said pointing his hammer at the six. "I'm the mighty Vexen a beast man with the blood of warrior in my veins. No one will ever be able to touch me with my armor." He said slamming his fist into his armor resulting in a loud clang of metal.

"Oh yeah were not afraid of you!" Rainbow said taking a step to the behemoth all of the girls agreeing taking a step forward.

"well I'l give you this." Vexen said as he slung his hammer over his shoulder. "you've got guts." he said as he showed his massive row of sharp teeth. He then grabbed his hammer and lifted it above his head. "NOW LETS SEE THOSE GUTS!" he said as he begun to bring his hammer down.

As the girls prepared to dodge they felt a sharp wind behind them and turned around only to feel that gust of wind blow past them and slam into the Beast man. They turned around only to see there new friend floating on the Rave gear in front of them staring down the beast man.

"I'm the one you want! leave everyone else alone!" Naru said keeping his head down never showing his face.

"WHAT IN TARNATION ARE YOU DOING!?"Applejack said looking at disbelief at the human.

"well It's about time you showed up brat!" vexen said with a toothy grin. "Now we can Begin! I challenge you to a game of Rave!"

"Do I even Have a choice seeing as you're holding everyone here hostage." Naru said Lifting his head to see his eyes to see a look that gave everyone a few goose bumps.

"No not really." Vexen said "shall we?" he asked with pulling out a strange device.

I get a message on my phone saying

[Vexen has challenged you! do you except? yes/no]

I select yes and a screen appears before us. "select you're stage!" said a computer generated voice.

"what is this a video game!" I say in disbelief

Vexen points to a image of a world that looks like nothing but floating islands with a sickly green sky overhead.

"chose you're game!" Then three options showed up like before.

we look at each other and we both point to battle.

"Great minds think alike I guess." vexen said with a smirk.

"This guy is a dick but honestly I stand no chance against him! He looks like a freaken gorilla and probably has the strength of one to. Yup i'm so dead." I fell the sweat going down my face as i take a deep breath.

"unknown"

After a few seconds the world changes around us and we stand on a large piece of floating land. I look around and all I can see is floating debris. I look up to see the sky and only see a sickly green ocean without clouds.

"where are we?" I ask looking around the battered up world.

"This is my home world." Vexen said looking around with disgust. "This is whats left of our world. Take a good look around kid."

I was speechless what could I say honestly. I stood there silently taking in the world around me.

"what happened to this place?" I ask looking back at the beast man.

"war, what else would cause this kind of destruction." vexen said with a blank stare "Now no more taking! I'm gonna end this in one blow!" he said jumping on his Rave gear and charging forward with his hammer raised.

I see his charge and decide that now would be a good time to run, I jump on my Gear and ride like a bat out of hell trying to avoid his hammer. I nearly get squashed when he flips over me and slams that hammer into one of the floating islands only for the hammer to blow strait threw it, shattering it to pieces.

"You're a slippery little bug aren't you!?" Vexen says with a grin. he tilts forward going full blast slowly catching up to me only as he gets closer he starts to spin like crazy. "It's time to end this brat!"

BEAST HAMMER: BLOODY SMASHER!" vexen said as the hammer hit me. I could feel almost every bone in my body break and a incredible amount of pain rush through me as I slam into one of the floating islands. I couldn't move anything, I hardly could see the beast man charging at me.

"BEAST HAMMER: STAMPEDE!" vexen said as he charged strait through the rock bringing Naru with him until he thrust the hammer forward sending Naru flying onto a floating island.

"It's over kid. I bet there's theirs not even a single bone left in your body that isn't broken." vexen said as he got off his board and walked next to Naru.

"Please....."

"ponyville"

As the two royal sisters arrived to find the town in shambles, almost everything was burned to ash and there guards beaten and brushed and everypony looking up to see a Large beast towering attacking a young man.

"what.....w-what....WHAT HAPPENED HERE!" Luna said with completely disbelief looking around at the scene of destruction.

Celestia payed there sisters outburst no mind and walked over to the six girls looking up at the screen with tears in there eyes. She didn't need to guess what happened here it was all to obvious.

"That poor child." celestia said getting the six girls attention. "He never stood a chance against a beast like that." she said as she looked up at the screen.

"please stop them. PLEASE!" Fluttershy said with tears in her eyes.

"I'm sorry I cant interfere with this. It would put everypony in danger." Celestia said tightening her fist. "All we can do is wait until he throws the match then will do what we can to heal him before he returns to his world." she said watching as the beast man pummeled the young man into a bloody mess.

"So all we can do is just wait." Rainbow said as she walked up to celestia suddenly pulling her down to her eye level. "Wait for that monster." she said with rage and tears in her eyes. "THAT MONSTER TO KILL HIM!"

"please......." came a weak voice from the screen. suddenly everyone attention was focused on the screen.

"please.......don't........hurt them." He said as he struggled to keep his eyes open

Celestia's  could feel her pupils dilate as she stared at the young man who didn't beg for his life but the life of girls and the people he just meet today.

"who is that boy?" celestia asks only for her to suddenly shrike as she realizes who he is. "No.....NO.....That cant be." celestia said as she slowly stepped back. "That necklace it has to be his!"

"who are you talking about sister?" Luna said as she and the others look at her with confusion.

"Back to Naru"

"please........" I say trying my best to stay awake from the searing pain allover my body.

"what is it boy? Any last request before you die." vexen says bending down to hear me.

"please.....don't.......hurt them." I say as I start to feel my eyelids getting heavier as the blood continues to seep from all the tears that hammer did to me.

"Huh?" Vexen said as he started laughing."Oh please don't try and act so macho kid!" he said slinging his hammer on his shoulder. "Tell you what kid. I'l do you one better!" he said as he slowly bent down and whispered in my ear. "I'l send them to join you." He said as he walked away...... laughing.........at me.

"Dream world"

I couldn't hear anything after what he said......nothing but the wind, I sat there waiting for death. "No.........No.......please........don't hurt them......dammit!"

"Do you want the power of a king?" came a familiar voice

"The power of a king?" I ask as I fell like I'm sinking just like back in my dream.

"Do you want the power of the king?" The voice asked again.

"Can I use it to protect them?" I ask looking at the grey sky above me.

"The power of the king, Is the power of his people. If you want the power to change you're destiny accept it! Accept you're bloodline. accept the power of the king!" the voice said

I open my eyes and i look up to see a bright light above the water. I start to swim to the surface. with conviction and as much strength as I've got I push.

"I ACCEPT IT! I ACCEPT THE POWER OF THE KING!" when I say this a giant gust of wind covers my body.

"Back to the real world"

As vexen was walking away he started to notice the sky going dark and a draft start to appear.

"what? That's not right. There shouldn't b-" Vexen said before he was blown away from a giant gust of wind only for his Gear to swoop around and catch him..

"WHAT THE! WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON!" Vexen said as he looked at the tornado in front of him.

"NO! WHATS GOING ON! THIS PLANET IS DEAD HOW COULD THIS BE HAPPENING!" Vexen shouted.

After a few minutes the tornado explodes in a gust of air. Vexen looks back to see the only thing left standing was Naru beaten and bruised but now he had a strange green book in his hand.

"YOU!" Vexen said his mouth wide open with shock. "BUT HOW THERE'S NO WAY A HUMAN LIKE YOU COUL-" before Vexen could finish he could feel something slam into his face and send him flying to the island were Naru was standing.

Vexen rubbed his nose and looked to find a small child wielding a red pole flying in the air his eyes bright green shacking Vexen to his vary core!

"who is that?" vexen said as he turned around to see Naru his eyes gone nothing was left except the bright green glow.

"I wont let you...." Naru said as the strange boy landing next to him.

"YOU WONT LET ME WHAT YOU LITTLE BASTARD I'M NOT SCARED OF YOU!" vexen said as the fear in his voice betrayed his actions. "How is this possible!? I'm sure I destroyed his entire body with that last attack!?" Vexen was staring to get desperate at this point it was all our nothing.

"BEAST HAMMER!!" vexen shouted as he went full speed on his rave gear his hammer raised high.

"JUDGEMENT SLAMMER!" Vexen slammed his hammer into the ground which resulted in a big bang that destroyed every piece of footing that was around him.

"T-There that had to do it! YEAH TAKE THAT YOU BRAT!"Vexen said laughing over his victory until he turned around to see the pair behind him.

"what?" Vexen said in a frightened voice.

"I wont let you........" Naru repeated.

"YOU WONT LET ME DO WHAT YOU BRAT! JUST WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!" Vexen said pointing at Naru.

"I'm the guy....."He said as the book glowed bright green. "WHO'S GONNA KICK YOUR ASS!!" Naru screamed as he let his full power surge.

"GIGANO JIKIRRDO!"

As the words left Naru's mouth the boy standing next to him unleashed a large ball of wind. Its force was enough to blow the debris away and all that was left was Vexen lost in a daze.

"HOW!" Vexen said staring at the giant ball of wind. "DAMN IT! I WONT LOSE TO YOU BRAT! YOU HEAR ME NEVER!" Vexen said as he he charged at the giant ball of pressurized air screaming at the top of his lungs.

The sphere absorbed him crushing the beast man. All that could be heard was his battle cry as the world slowly filled with light.
