Torch's Hellfire

Load Full Story

     It was a cloudy afternoon. I was going to a gamecon so that I could meet my friend. Now he isn't your average friend, he is an all powerful being from off dimension. Anyway, you might want to know how I met him. Well twelve years ago I had a very bad day. I had broken my phone, my computer crashed, I had gotten into a fight, for all my trouble I received enough bruises to make it look like I had the chicken pox.  But then my friend came over to my house and fixed me up. He magicked me up a phone and fixed my computer. I asked him how and all he said was...

"I'm the merchant."

     After hearing this I became obsessed. I looked all over the internet, but the only places that I could find info on him was in displaced fics. Now, I knew that those couldn't be real but then I thought," But what about all of the disappearances at those conventions?"

     So I looked around and saw that there wasn't going to be any cons around my town in the next twelve years. Always ready for the fateful day when I would get to truly meet my friend. The Merchant.

     Anywho... back to the story.

     I had just finished up my torch hellfire costume and I was amazed. It had enough teeth to qualify for a nightmare animatronic. It had three razor sharp claws on its left hand a flamethrower for its right. It also orange body segments similar to spartan armor. There were stripes on it, and a glowing, red, left eye on its mask. It had a tail with two blades on the end and a cannon like hole at the end. It also had a tie that looked as if it were wearing fire. But then again, the name says it all.

     "Dude hurry the frick up!" Yelled my friend from outside my house.

     "I'm coming jesus!" I yelled

     I then heard a series of beeps in a pattern similar to the mario bros theme song.

     After hearing that I figured that I might as well stop fussing over my costume and put it on so that me and my friend can get moving. I had just walked out the door when I felt a wave of pain wash over me and momentarily saw everything on fire. I stopped real quick waiting for the pain to pass. After it did pass I walked over to the car that my friend had.

    "You okay dude?" He asked.

    "Yeah fine." I

    (At the con)

     We finally made it and at the perfect time too. You know, when there are just enough people there to have a little fun but not a massive crowd that makes you feel extremely insignificant.

     "Hey dude look! It's subject Delta from bioshock." My friend said.

    I looked and sure enough there was a nearly flawless Subject Delta costume. I walked over to greet them but another wave of pain washes over me and the same thing happens.

     "What's going on with me?" I thought to myself.

     "Why nothing good friend." Said a voice.

     Wait a minute... I recognize that voice. It's my old buddy the merchant. I looked around and saw his booth sitting there in a corner. I walked over and gave a greeting.

     "Hey dude." I said.

     "Hello old friend." He replied.

     "Business is slow huh?" I ask.

     "Indeed it is." He replied." I sense that you want to ask a favor. Would I be correct?"

     "Indeed you are." I said. "As you can see life on Earth is extremely boring. And I have read about what you can do, and I need you go send me to an Equestria."

     "Are you sure?" He asked.

     "Yep, after all, what could go wrong?" I jinxed it on purpose therefore causing a double jinx ghat would disable universal jinxing for me.

     "Very well then." He said. "Enjoy your trip." And with that the world went rainbow.
