It was five in the morning when I had heard a twig snap, at first I thought it was a squirrel or some other small woodland creature, but years of hunting taught me that deer are very agile and can walk around with making little to no sound. I pulled the drawstring back as slowly and carefully as humanly possible on my compound bow. “Just like Papa taught you” I thought to myself as I slowly exhale, steadying my aim. It was down to this, the moment of truth. I let the arrow fly, the deer was around 30 yards away, I could see the arrow fly through the air like slow motion rocket. But just as the arrow was about to hit the deer a bright flash and an ear shattering boom forced my senses into over drive, the last thing I saw before blacking out was a giant castle on fire. ----------2 Hours Later---------- Screaming. Screaming was the first thing I heard when I regained consciousness, I immediately thought the worst as my eyes snapped open trying to find the person in trouble. The thing that confused me the most though as I got up was that I was in an alleyway, but I heard another scream and I pushed the worries aside to find the source. When I got up I noticed that I still had my camouflage jacket, pants, and facemask. Plus I still had my knife, a short six inch fixed blade that was still in the holster, and my compound bow with a total of seven arrows. “If push comes to shove I can still use one of the broad heads as a make shift weapon” I thought as I rounded the corner, what I saw next both terrified and mesmerized me. There where two things in front of me, both looked humanoid, one more than the other. The one on the left was the most humanoid, the only differences were the snout, tail, and hooves instead of feet, I looked female due to the things cleavage. It had blond hair and purple skin that almost looked like fur; it had many scratches and bruises on her. She didn’t look any older than nineteen. The other one was drastically different, and seemed like it was the one attacking the female. It was completely black with blue eyes, but the thing that surprised me even more was the presence of bug wings and a jagged horn. The next thing the bug like creature did sent me into a rage. It hit the girl. I don’t say anything as I tackle the bug to the ground, I heard crack as we both landed on the ground. With me on top of him I had the upper hand and drew my arm back before launching a punch that would have made an MMA fighter proud. When my fist hit the things head it was KO'd instantly. My breathing was ragged as I got up from the creature to go check on the girl. I picked up my bow that I had dropped when I ran at the bug and to my delight it was almost completely undamaged, save a few new scratches. I found the girl looking at me with fear filled eyes as I approached her, when I was about six feet away I held up my hands and said, “Its OK, I’m not going to hurt you, all I want to know is if your OK and what’s happening.” The girl looked at me in surprise, like she thought I couldn’t talk, that’s when I remembered that I was still wearing the face mask. I slowly take the mask off as to not scare her, revealing my brown eyes, long brown hair, and goatee. She looks at me in complete shock and only mutters one thing, “What are you?” It confused me for a second, it’s not everyday that you get asked what you are and not who you are, but I answer the question regardless. If I wanted any answers I’ll need to gain this, what I assume by her voice, girls trust. “Well, I’m a human. My name is Corbin. What’s yours, if you don’t mind me asking?” I say, she looks hesitant to say but gives a small smile and gets up. She stands about five foot three compared to my six foot four height, so she still had to look up at me. She puts up her hand, and when I went to shake it she just pulls me into a hug, catching me off guard. “Thank you Corbin, thank you, I don’t know what have happened if you hadn’t come.” She said, by this time she was on the verge of tears so I did the only thing that I could, I hugged her back trying to comfort the poor girl. When she stopped crying after a few minutes she breaks off the hug and smiles at me. “My name is Marionette.” She said, it was an odd name but I kept my comments to myself, thought I did ask one question. “What’s going on, and where am I? One second I’m in the woods bow hunting and now I’m here in what looks like a castle siege with aliens running around.” The last part caught Marionettes attention though she didn’t comment on it. Though she didn’t say anything at first she looked at me and said something that I was not expecting, but was at the same time. “Yes we are under attack; the thing that you just knocked out was a changeling, a creature that can morph into anything and anyone. This isn’t the first time they attacked but this time they have numbers on there side.” Marionette said with a sad tone, but that got me thinking. “You said that this isn’t he first time, so that means they have a leader. If I can find them, I can make put an end to this with diplomacy and end the attack by acting as a third party negotiator. I know it sound crazy or downright insane but I have to try. And to be honest I think I just fell out of my tree stand and am in a coma, so no harm, no foul.” I said, though Marionette was looking at me like I was insane, and I don’t blame her, I never was good a politics. “They do have a leader, her name is Queen Chrysalis. She was in the castle last time I knew, it’s only around the corner.” She said, I just nodded and was about to turn to leave but was stopped by a hand on my shoulder. I looked back just hear Marionette say, “Your insane, but be careful.” I nodded, put the mask back on, grabbed my bow and put an arrow in the notch. Once I was ready I took off to the castle with the intention of stopping this feud one way or another, and finding a way to wake up or go back home if this was all real. Author's Note This is just a test chapter, i may or may not continue this, it all depends. Constructive criticism is appreciated, and if you want to make a suggestion on how the meeting with chrysalis should go, just leave a comment down below.......now i just sound like Zecora. INTERMISSION 1- Rest and Recovery 1- God?White. White was the only color visible and it was starting to burn my eyes, that and it seemed that I was the only one in this entire expanse. When I first walked through the portal all the pain that I had received previously disappeared, it was like it never happened, much to my satisfaction. Though none of this was calming my nerves, not even a tiny bit, if anything it only got me thinking. “Am I dead? Was all of that just me in a coma induced dream and I died? I mean if this is heaven I am severally disappointed, and I’m not even religious.” I thought to myself as I wondered aimlessly within the white void. I’m pretty sure I’ve walked at least the equivalent of a marathon when a voice, a deep bass one, spoke. “There you are! I’ve been looking for ages for you, how did you get this far away from where the portal was without me noticing?” the voice rattled every fiber of my being as I looked around for the source, but I couldn’t find anyone, much to my confusion. “Ah haha! Do not be alarmed my boy! I’ve just brought you into my domain to let you rest before you leave again. It’s not easy to fight with several cracked ribs, a punctured lung, and internal bleeding now is it!” The voice laughed, but I on the other hand was confused as to whom he is and what he meant by ‘leave again’. “Who are you? Are you God, because if you are I’m sorry I didn’t believe in you, also i'm sorry for stealing my mom’s car that one time to go to a party! Seriously that was a bad idea!” I yelled to the void, I was very worried that this was in fact God and I was about to burn in Hell for eternity, and I was expecting many reactions to my words, Laughter not being one of them. “Ahahaha! That’s a good one, not the first time, but still funny regardless. But no I am not God, just an entity looking for some fun, and by golly do you make it seem worth it to have taken you from that forest!” the voice bellowed another set of laughs, but I was fuming. This entity took me away from my home, made me fight a bug Queen in a different dimension, and worst of all HE MADE ME MISS MY DEER! “You Mother Fucker! You made me miss my deer, transported me to an alternate dimension, all to fight a bug Queen for your amusement!? The hell is wrong with you man, im done, I did your stupid little thing, now SEND ME HOME!” I screamed, by this point I was pissed beyond anything for one reason alone. I HATE being used, and this thing thinks it can use me? It has another thing coming. The entire void went quiet, not a single sound was heard for what felt like hours until the voice spoke again, it held no emotion and said something that made my body freeze up. “No, I won’t send you home. You have a few more jobs to do, and once those are complete then, and only then, will I send you home.” he said, his voice cold. I was dumbfounded, my body unwilling to move, my voice all but gone like the wind. I stood in there in shock as the voice continued. “Do not hate me for this, not that I care, but you are the last hope for these next few dimensions, the joy I get is only a bonus to me. Once you come to terms with this you can see that this is for the greater good.” The voice said, this time though his words held authority, and finality to them. After what felt like ages I spoke again in a low tone. “Sigh, What do you want me to do now, fight another monster thing? Because if it’s a giant ass spider you can count me out, but anything else that I have to do to get home I’ll do it.” I say, gaining some of my confidence, and cockiness back. This seemed to have pleased the voice because I started to laugh again, “That’s what I’m talking about, be yourself and get ready to kick some ass in another dimension!” he laughed. I was still a bit mad about having to fight dimensional monsters, but if it meant getting home, it was worth it. But one question still bothered me. “One thing though, why does my bow shoot regenerating arrows that all have a random effect? I mean it’s cool, so far there has been a lightning one, an explosive one, and a blue trap one, but why do my arrows do that?” Yet again I am answered by the voice laughing but he did answer me none the less. “That, my dear boy, was a small present to you. Did you honestly expect me to let you face up against creatures that could collapse the planet with only flimsy normal arrows, and a bow that could break? I think not! You see your arrows, when fired, will have a random effect put on them. They can be almost everything, including healing, but it’s all up to chance so use it wisely. The bow on the other hand is also enchanted, it cannot be broken by anything, and it can be summoned if you are more than a hundred or so feet from it. So you’ll never need to fear the loss of your bow. And that’s about it, after each successful battle you will be transported hear for some rest and recovery, understand?” the voice asked. I nodded dumbly trying to process the new information, but soon had another question, one that I was somewhat afraid to ask. “Since i'm going to be doing this can you tell me what or whom I’m fighting, I’d rather not just walk in there and get crushed by a giant or some other freaky inter-dimensional shit.” When the voice didn’t speak for a second I got worried, “I mean what could I be fighting that could be worse than-” My thoughts were interrupted by the voice saying one word. It was the only word I heard before I was shoved into yet another portal. “Tirek.” BOSS 2- THINGY 1- Bubbles, Seriously?After being so graciously pushed through an inter-dimensional portal by God-Not-God, I found my self falling from several feet in the air towards an open field. The moment I hit the ground everything burst into pain, my breath was lost, and I could barely breathe. Plus to make matters worse my bow came down like a hammer onto my stomach, I bet the voice was laughing up a storm at my misfortune. Once the pain subsided, and I could breathe again I slowly stood up using my bow as a makeshift crutch, what I was both hilarious and terrifying. The funny thing was that there were five women and what looked like a five year olds art project gone wrong all trapped in bubbles. The other thing, the one that terrified me was the giant ass centaur looking thing, that I’m guessing was Tirek, in the back round having a fight with a flying woman that looked like an ant compared to Tirek. The other thing that scared me, and also left me thinking this was bullshit, was that Tirek, along with his massive size, also had the power to shoot fucking laser beams from his horns. “That’s so not fucking fare, at all. I mean what the hell am I supposed to do, poke at him with magic arrows until he gets annoyed and leaves? The hell, I didn’t sign up for this shit!” I yelled in frustration. By now I was right next to the bubble trapped people that were trying to get my attention, but I just ignored them by walking past them and making my way to the flying girl that looked like she was resting next to a nearby boulder. This girl looked like Marionette but with lavender skin, multi tone purple hair and tail, with both wings and a horn. When I got close enough she turned and got into a fighting stance, but I just walked past her a few steps and stopped when I saw Tirek lumbering over towards us in the distance. I spoke to girl without facing her with a very irritated and annoyed tone, “I don’t care who you are, but just know I’m here to clean up this mess against both my better judgement and will but it’s my only way home so get ready to fight again cause I’m about to do something extremely stupid.” I say as I draw back my bow and take aim at the behemoth in front of me, whilst praying for it to end this quickly without me being vaporized. I let the arrow fly as soon as I saw Tireks bullshit laser ball powering up. Tirek stared at the arrow as it became encased in a ghost white energy, when the arrow hit I wasn’t expecting it to do much but when it did an explosion erupted from the point of impact, though it was a different kind of explosion. Instead of a blinding flash it was just the shock wave and noise that sounded like the sound barrier was broken, that’s when it hit me. This arrow wasn’t explosive, it was pure force, and was enough to send Tirek flying a few hundred feet. I just stood there in awe with the woman next to me gaping at what had just happened, and for a moment I thought I was done, but life has a way of saying fuck you every time you think you succeeded. This time it was in the form of a very pissed off looking Tirek launching himself at me and the girl with his fist outstretched and directed at me. I only had time to say one thing before being hit with the equivalent of a brick house, and that was, “Bullshit.” You know those moments when you think you should have died but didn’t some how? Yea, that’s what just happened to me, you would thing that getting punched in the face by a fist the size of a house would kill you, bit apparently not. Don’t think I wasn’t happy, because I was, the only thing hindering me from cheering was the massive amount of pain I was in. Small problems in dire situations, they suck. The last thing I remember before blacking out was the purple girl picking me up. When I cracked open my eyes I was meet with a sky colored a sickly mixture of black and blood red, but my vision was soon blocked by a wall of purple. I thought I heard a voice but it was muffled enough to not allow me to know what was being said, though I’m pretty sure it was coming from the wall of purple. After a few minutes my eyes refocused and the wall of purple became the girl that picked me up before I blacked out, her face wore a scared, concerned expression. I slowly got up and looked around only to find that the entire field was decimated, it looked like a sponge with the amount of craters that riddled the landscape. Then I heard the voice of the girl behind me, but this time I could understand what was being said. “Are you OK, actually how are even alive? No one should have been able to survive that!” she said in disbelief, though the next thing I did was take off my mask, earning a gasp from the girl who muttered, “What are you?” That actually made me laugh until I started to cough harshly, it felt like someone put razors down my throat and made me hack them up. When the coughing fit subsided I turned back to the girl with a smile and got up before saying, “I’m a human that wants punch that Tirek guy in his fucking face, and please don’t tell me your name, after we beat this guy I’m hopefully going to get that God-Not-God guy to send me home. Now get up, its time to kick some ass.” I reached out my hand to help her up, and to see if she would trust me. At first she looked hesitant, looking between my hand and my face, but after a few seconds she grabbed my hand, and with a determined look said, “Lets do this.” I nodded and put my mask back on, at this point I only wore it because it was one of the only things left that reminded me of home. That and it was a gift from my grandfather on my first day of hunting. -Flashback- It was three in the morning when Papa came down the stairs fully dressed in camouflage, same as me, though this time he had an extra piece of clothing in his hands. “Corbin, I wanted to thank you for going hunting with me today, it makes me proud to know that you’d be willing to do this just to make an old man like me happy.” I was only twelve back then so what he was saying confused me, but I heard the pride in his voice, as well as the sorrow when he handed me the mask. “I won’t be able to do this forever so I wanted to give you this mask. It was given to me by my father, and to him by his, and so on and so forth. By giving you this you both are making me proud beyond anything, and by accepting it you are making a promise to keep the tradition of hunting alive within you until you pass it down to your son or grandson, do you understand?” Papa asked, the only answer I had was taking the mask and slipping it on. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him smile wider. -Flashback End- When the memory ended I noticed that the girl and I, plus the five from the bubbles, were back on the battlefield, and in front of us was Tirek who was laughing, he was really starting to piss me off. The girl turned to me and said, “Do you remember the plan?” I looked at her in confusion, “What plan?” The girl sighed and spoke, “The plan was to use the elements of harmony to supercharge your body and launch you at Tirek.” She said in a deadpan tone. “Did I agree to it?” is all I asked, and much to my dismay she nodded, sometimes I hate having flashbacks. “Fine, whatever, let’s just get this over with so I can get one step closer to going home. Fuckin bullshit if you ask me but no~.” I muttered the last part, but I don’t think they noticed because they were starting to glow and float. The next thing I knew I was floating, and my entire body became bathed in a rainbow light. It felt weird, like my entire body was warm and numb at the same time, it was actually quite nice in a way. But it all ended when the purple girl grabbed and launches me like a damn magic missile at Tirek, who looked both pissed and scared, don’t worry bud I know the feeling. As I flew through the air I only said one thing before punching Tirek in the face and that was, “FUCK MY LIFE!” Then everything went white, again. When my senses came too, and by that I mean I forced my eyes open, I was mercilessly blinded by the bright blue sky and sun. After a moment of just living there I managed to get up and look around, and even though my entire body ached, I still moved with no broken bones, somehow. But that didn’t matter because about ten feet away was another portal, and maybe even a way home. So I walked right up to it and prayed that it was going to send me home, but before jumping in I turned and saw the six girls, the one fucked up art project, and a very small, pissed looking Tirek in hand cuffs, staring at me and the portal. So I decided to leave them with one last thing. “Fuck this planet and all it shit within, and your welcome for me becoming the human torch, see ya!” That’s all that I said before diving into the portal to the unknown. Author's Note And that's all she wrote! When it comes to Tirek anyway. As always, I hoped you enjoyed and constructive criticism is encouraged. INTERMISSION 2- The Hell is a Discord and What About Him?After jumping into the portal, praying to both God and God-Not-God to send me home, I was both depressed and angry when I saw that I was back in the white expanse. I wanted to scream every profanity known to man and then some, but I didn’t just for the fact I knew that the next fight was my last because of the magical power of three. If there was more than three it wouldn’t be good story structure now would it? I was brought out of my thoughts when The Voice spoke up, and by 'spoke up' I mean he was laughing a full, hearty, belly laugh that lasted for what felt like ages. It didn’t help that the longer he laughed the more irritated I became. Once he was done he actually spoke. “HAHA! That, my boy, was amazing! In all of my eternity I’ve yet to see someone be as crazy, brave, insane, and desperate as you! And don’t take that lightly, I rarely have that good of a laugh and it’s even rarer that I praise a mortal such as yourself! Haha!” The Voice boomed, and for a second he almost went back into a laughing fit, and to my sanity, he didn’t. But even though I wanted to leave already I had one question for him. “Okay, I get it, you think I’m funny and shit, haha. Whatever. Just tell me what I’m fighting next, I want to get back to my world and get back to my hunting, that thing you fucked up for me. And please for the love of God don’t ell me I’m fighting that art project thing I saw in the last dimension, cause that thing should not be physically possible!” I was really hoping the last fight would be an easy one that wasn’t against an living Picasso art piece. And for the first time in the whole escapade, I was told something I wanted to hear! “No you won’t have to fight the ‘art project' as you put it, his name, though, is Discord the Lord of Chaos. Fun guy once you get used to him, and that took me around six hundred or so mortal years, was definitely worth it in my opinion. But enough of my rambling, it’s time to give you some advice against your next task. The being that you are going to fighting is known to harness dark magic, be warned that his specialty resides in his swordsmanship and his ability to make nightmares and fears come to life. He has never been bested in a sword fight and his magic will no doubt kill you with your own fears. If it were not for your unique mental shielding, or as you would put it, The Human Will, he would be able the kill you. But do not think that it won’t test your sanity if he gets you within his magic’s grasp. Do you understand?” The Voice asked, though I did answer. “Yea I get it, don’t let him get close and turn me into Swiss cheese and don’t let his magical mine rape thing hit me, is that all Mr. God-Not-God?” maybe it wasn’t the best idea to call him that because in an instant I was sent flying through the portal, only hear one last thing. “King Sombra.” Author's Note Short but sweet intermission. YAY! BOSS 3- SEQUENCE 1- I Hate This, And I Hate YouAfter, yet again, being launched out of the portal that I’ve come to despise, I landed on a rock that was warm, fluffy, and could talk. Wait, rocks can’t talk! I think. I got up and looked down only to see the yellow skinned girl with pink hair from the other dimension, she was just laying there, in only her under garments mind you, staring at me in fear. After a few seconds I reach out to her, to help her up and get some answers, but she just flinched away, allowing me to see a red mark on her left cheek with a small cut in the middle going diagonally down from left to right. The sight made my blood boil for one reason, I’ve seen that kind of mark before, hell I’ve even had it, that’s a sign that someone backhanded her with a ring on, and that shit hurts. Though I set that aside for later and crouched down to eye level so I could speak without looking intimidating, and I also took off my mask, earning a small gasp and whimper from the woman. “Are you OK, are you hurt? I mean I did just land on you after falling through an inter-dimensional portal.” I say, slightly getting back to my sarcastic self. She just looked at me like I just said that she just won the lottery. Without warning she kept up and hugged me tight, as if she let go I would leave forever. It was also extremely awkward for me for one simple reason, she was only in her bra and panties! I don’t care that it’s an alien, it’s got the same proportions as a human, so here I am face heating up to the point that I think I look like a damn tomato. After a few seconds she, thankfully, let go of me, what I saw next broke my sarcastic little heart. She was crying, not of sadness, but of joy, she was even smiling. It took a few minutes but she actually spoke to me, albeit in a voice that was so soft spoken I could barely hear it. “ You have no idea how happy I am to hear that someone other than my friends care about me. I thought that no one would ever come and try to save us from Sombra.” She almost broke into tears when she said the name, I asked her why she was even here, and the answer I got made me see red. “A-after we lost the battle he captured my friends and I and forced us to be his personal slaves. We’ve been here for two months, and already each of us have been beaten at least twice for disobedience.” At this point she was sobbing, so I did the only thing that anyone would have done, wrapped her up in a hug and just held her for what felt like hours as she cried onto my shoulder. After her cries became whimpers I let her go and gave her a look that said ‘everything’s going to be alright' and I asked a simple question, “Where can I find this Sombra, I’ve got to teach him how to treat a lady right because his parents definitely didn’t.” The woman nodded and pointed down the hall towards a pair of massive doors, not unlike the ones from the initial dimension. I also took a moment to realize that I was in yet another castle, as it would seem. I thanked her and told her to get her friends if she could and get out because this was going to be ugly. It also didn’t help that he abused women, which only made me want to rip off his leg and beat him with it. When I was about twenty feet away from the door I put my mask back on, aimed an arrow at the door, and let it fly. To say that my entrance wasn’t spectacular would be an understatement l, when the arrow hit the center of both doors, it exploded with enough force to send whatever didn’t get decimated flying. And to make It better I just walked through the smoke and fire like a badass. When I finally made it all the way through the debris I actually got to see what Sombra looked like, and to say I wasn’t scared shit less would be a complete and utter lie, I may have just shit a brick. This guy was massive, he stood at about seven foot, he was ripped, I swear even his muscles had muscles. The other things that drew my attention was that he had a curved horn, a black crown, and a sword that seemed to be as tall as me. And that’s when I made the best first impression ever in the history of mankind. “Ok now this is some bullshit. How the hell do you expect me to fight someone that literally has been only taking steroids his whole life!? This is bullshit I tell you!” By the end of my short tirade I was staring up at the ceiling expecting God-Not-God to say something, but he didn’t. That’s when I heard someone laughing, I turned and saw that Sombra was laughing at me. So I did the only sensible thing in that situation, I fired an arrow at him. The only problem with that was that he just caught it, it looked like he was just about to talk but the arrow exploded before he could, sending him flying through the wall. I knew it was to much to ask for this to be over when he stepped back through the hole. He looked pissed. Fuck my life. His horn glowed as he fired shot after shot of his magic mind rape stuff, I was doing pretty well dodging, but I only managed to fire two more arrows during his barrage, one being the electrical arrow, that of which he just shrugged off, and the other being the blue holding mist that he, yet again, shrugged off. I swear he was a living juggernaut combined with a tank. Just when I thought I could get another shot off one of the beams hit me, and at fist I didn’t feel anything but then I looked at Sombra again, I’m pretty sure I pissed my pants. There in front of me was not Sombra, but a giant ass spider with a clown face. And say what you want but when you combine an eight legged creature from the depths of hell and a demon made to entertain kids together, you get something that will haunt you for the rest of your life. This is also when Sombra made a grave mistake, I don’t run when something scares me, I scream like a bitch and beat the living shit out of it till it’s dead. My mind instantly when to overdrive as I loaded arrow after arrow with a speed that professionals would at in awe. After about a good thirty or so arrows, all of which seemed to vary between lightning and explosive, the only thing left in the crater was a normal looking Sombra with all his limbs in physically impossible positions, his sword destroyed, and his horn broken off. I nodded in approval and turned around only to be pulled into a group hug with the girls from the Tirek dimension. They where all saying the thanks but that’s when I saw the portal open up, I carefully pushed them away, and when I got to the portal the yellow skinned girl grabbed my arm, spun me around, and grappled me into another hug as she spoke, “Where are you going now? I don’t even know your name and you saved us, why?” I looked down at her and said, “I did what I did because it was my only way home, and I’m not going to lie but that was almost the whole reason. But it changed when I saw what he did to you, my mom raised me to never hit a woman, no matter what. She also said to kick any mans ass if I saw it happen, and that’s all the reason I needed. As to where I’m going, I’m going home.” And that was the last thing I said before walking through the portal. To the place that I had been trying to get back to for so long. Home. Author's Note Double Upload! Holy S**t! Anyway this is the end of the story. So thank you for reading and have a nice day! And if anyone wants to use my OC, universe, or make a sequel I'm perfectly fine with that, and somewhat curious as to what others would wright. So if anyone dose just send me a message with a link to the story, I'm always up to see what others can create from something I've made! BOSS 1- Entry 2- Diplomacy NEVER WorksWhen Marionette said it was around the corner I didn’t think it meant around the corner and then run a mile just to get to the entrance. But other than being winded I hadn’t come across any resistance, it was odd because one would think you’d have to fight your way through to get the leader. But apparently not. The other thing that I noticed wile running was the architecture, I’m pretty sure it was Roman, but I wasn’t perfectly sure. I knew I found the entrance when I saw a massive gold gate that was destroyed, seriously the thing looked like it took on a big rig. Going full speed. Packed with explosives. Okay, so that may be an exaggeration, but it was completely destroyed. Never the less, against my better judgment, I walked through the gates debris and into the decimated castle. As I walked through the barren hallways, I saw no bodies to my relief, only scorch marks. The more I walked through the place the more paranoid I became. “There’s no way that this place, that has their leader residing in it, isn’t guarded.” I thought frantically to myself, only to stop dead in my tracks when I turned what I believe was my thousandth corner. Straight ahead was about ten or more changelings just watching me, that is until one started to run at me, and was soon followed by the others. In that moment I did the only thing a semi-sane person would do. I ran, but not before I fired an arrow at the lead changelings knee. The arrow hit its mark but also did something that was both terrifying and awesome at the same time. Instead of the arrow getting lodged in its knee it evaporated into a bolt of lightning electrocuting the first and arching to the rest of the group. In mere seconds the group that was just charging me was reduced to a group of slightly fried, unconscious changelings. I just stood there in complete awe of what just happened, I quickly looked to my quiver and see that I still have all my arrows. “Magic bow, regenerative arrows, I’m really starting to think that the coma idea is the right one.” I thought to myself as I walked around the downed group, only to find myself face to face with two massive doors. The left one had a picture of the sun imprinted on it, the other had a picture of a crescent moon. All in all I had no idea of how to open them myself, so I did the only thing I could, I knocked on the door three times. In hindsight it probably wasn’t t best of ideas, though I did get an answer. “Who is it, I told all of you to not bother me!” a woman’s voice said, it was kind of weird because the voice sounded two voices at once, though it did sound kind of cool. But I had a job to do so I answered, “Umm, I was never told, I kind of just got here and I looking for a Queen Chrysalis, do you know her? I’m kind of lost, and no offence but you really need to clean this place up, it’s a mess.” I have no idea why I said that but it sounded good in my mind. In the time it took when the woman opened the door many things happened. The first was that this changeling was much taller than the rest of them from what I’ve seen, while the others have been around five foot seven and have almost no gender defining features, this one on the other hand was about six foot and had both long cyan-ish hair and also had breasts. And like all the others were the presence of both the jagged horn and bug wings. The other thing that happened, that was equally important was I spoke to her. “I’m guessing your Chrysalis, so I’ll just get to the point, do you think we could talk, maybe sit down, have a few drinks a just talk OK?” I say nonchalantly as I walk past her dumbfounded face, though on the inside I was freaking out and praying to any and all deities to let me live through this. When I get fully into the room I notice the two gigantic thrones at the end of the hall, I also notice the seven green cocoons with seven figures within. Seeing the cocoons did not help my nerves but regardless I made my way to one of the thrones and sat down. I was soon joined by Chrysalis who still looked a little confused but less so than before, I took of my mask and earned a gasp from Chrysalis when she saw my face. “What are you, and why are you here?” Chrysalis asked in a slightly scared voice. I put down my bow, unloaded the arrow from it, and sat back in the chair, still trying to keep up the nonchalant attitude instead of breaking down into a nervous wreck. “Well, to be honest I have no idea how I got here to this place, but the reason was just to see if I can talk to you and see why your invading this castle. I mean if you have a good reason then go for it, but if not I’ll have to use a little more, how do you say it? Force, to make both you and the previous inhabitants get along. Understand?” by the end of that I was screaming at myself on the inside for saying something as stupid as that, but to my credit I kept up my neutral tone and expression. Chrysalis on the other hand looked both livid and respectful of me, that is until she broke into a wide grin and started to laugh a little bit but stopped in a few seconds. She turned back to me, smile still present, and spoke. “What makes you think that you, a random creature, can take me on? I already took down the most powerful being in the world, so what do you think you could do to me?” Chrysalis asked, laughing at the end a little bit. I wracked my brain to come up with something to challenge her accusation. At first I thought I wouldn’t but then one question came to mind. “That may be so, but have you ever tried to sit down a make a treaty or something before you attacked? And why did you attack anyway?” I asked, both to get out of the situation but also because I was genuinely interested because if I was in a coma and I could remember all of this I could turn this into a best seller book. At first she looked confused but that soon turned into a sheepish smile. “Well, no I’ve never attempted to create a treaty with Celestia, but it wouldn’t of worked anyway, this isn’t the first time I’ve invaded. As to the reason why we invaded was because my hive was starving, I know you probably don’t know this but we changelings feed off of emotions, or love to be more precise. So in another desperate attempt I invaded again, and it worked! Now all that’s left to do is to dispose of those seven over there, there nothing but trouble and a threat to me.” Chrysalis explained with venom. At this point I was both terrified and confused. “Question, if you force everyone under your rule wouldn’t that make the resentful of you and not love you, effectively setting you back to square one?” I asked, I was genuinely confused on how she just completely over looked that huge loophole. Chrysalis looked at me with a scared face, like she didn’t see that as a problem, but it quickly converted into rage. At that moment I knew I dun fucked up, so I ducked down and grabbed my bow just in time to doge a beam of, what I was guessing was, magic that completely obliterated the throne I was just in. “ENOUGH! You will not patronize me creature, you will die for your insolence!” Chrysalis screamed, aiming another shot at me from her horn, so I lined up an arrow and let it fly. The thing about this arrow is that It through me off when it glowed blue before hitting Chrysalis in the chest, when it did the arrow disappeared and the blue hue surrounded Chrysalises entire form. The best part about it was that she couldn’t move, I mentally cheered, that is until the hue dissipated and allowed Chrysalis to move again. I cried a little inside. She flew at me, grabbed one of my legs, spun and launched me. I only had one thing to say during my impromptu flying lesson, “FUUUUCK!” When I hit the ground again I skidded to a halt about fifty feet away from the thrones. I groaned ad I sat up and grabbed my bow, only to see Chrysalis monologueing. “Just give up creature you’ll never beat me, I’m the most powe-“ she never finished the sentence since an arrow, apparently an explosive one, hit her dead in the chest and launched her into a wall, that of which now had a pattern of spiderwebing cracks added to it. I walked over to the now dazed Chrysalis and said one thing. “The names Corbin.” I launched my first at her face, one that was full of fear, but stopped just before hitting her. I reached out my index finger and taped her on the nose, “Boop.” She fainted on the spot. Once the adrenalin started to wear of I became very aware of the excruciating pain that was coursing throughout my body, mainly my ribs, apparently being launched a good fifty feet will do that to you, who knew? The next couple of things happened pretty much at the same time, one of them was one of the cocoons fell and broke open revealing a very tall woman with multi-colored hair that seemed to flow in the non-existent wind, and she was looking right at me. The second thing to happen was a portal, or vortex, opened up right in front of me, so now I had a choice to make. Either help the now very confused looking woman, or go through the portal that may lead home. I did what was right at that moment, and walked right through the portal saying, “Your welcome.” To the woman on the floor. Author's Note And that's why you fight! Anyways i hope you enjoyed the chapter, and as always constructive criticism is encouraged!
BOSS 1- Entry 1- Why Me MethinksThe forest was eerily quiet as I lined up my bow sights on my target. It was five in the morning when I had heard a twig snap, at first I thought it was a squirrel or some other small woodland creature, but years of hunting taught me that deer are very agile and can walk around with making little to no sound. I pulled the drawstring back as slowly and carefully as humanly possible on my compound bow. “Just like Papa taught you” I thought to myself as I slowly exhale, steadying my aim. It was down to this, the moment of truth. I let the arrow fly, the deer was around 30 yards away, I could see the arrow fly through the air like slow motion rocket. But just as the arrow was about to hit the deer a bright flash and an ear shattering boom forced my senses into over drive, the last thing I saw before blacking out was a giant castle on fire. ----------2 Hours Later---------- Screaming. Screaming was the first thing I heard when I regained consciousness, I immediately thought the worst as my eyes snapped open trying to find the person in trouble. The thing that confused me the most though as I got up was that I was in an alleyway, but I heard another scream and I pushed the worries aside to find the source. When I got up I noticed that I still had my camouflage jacket, pants, and facemask. Plus I still had my knife, a short six inch fixed blade that was still in the holster, and my compound bow with a total of seven arrows. “If push comes to shove I can still use one of the broad heads as a make shift weapon” I thought as I rounded the corner, what I saw next both terrified and mesmerized me. There where two things in front of me, both looked humanoid, one more than the other. The one on the left was the most humanoid, the only differences were the snout, tail, and hooves instead of feet, I looked female due to the things cleavage. It had blond hair and purple skin that almost looked like fur; it had many scratches and bruises on her. She didn’t look any older than nineteen. The other one was drastically different, and seemed like it was the one attacking the female. It was completely black with blue eyes, but the thing that surprised me even more was the presence of bug wings and a jagged horn. The next thing the bug like creature did sent me into a rage. It hit the girl. I don’t say anything as I tackle the bug to the ground, I heard crack as we both landed on the ground. With me on top of him I had the upper hand and drew my arm back before launching a punch that would have made an MMA fighter proud. When my fist hit the things head it was KO'd instantly. My breathing was ragged as I got up from the creature to go check on the girl. I picked up my bow that I had dropped when I ran at the bug and to my delight it was almost completely undamaged, save a few new scratches. I found the girl looking at me with fear filled eyes as I approached her, when I was about six feet away I held up my hands and said, “Its OK, I’m not going to hurt you, all I want to know is if your OK and what’s happening.” The girl looked at me in surprise, like she thought I couldn’t talk, that’s when I remembered that I was still wearing the face mask. I slowly take the mask off as to not scare her, revealing my brown eyes, long brown hair, and goatee. She looks at me in complete shock and only mutters one thing, “What are you?” It confused me for a second, it’s not everyday that you get asked what you are and not who you are, but I answer the question regardless. If I wanted any answers I’ll need to gain this, what I assume by her voice, girls trust. “Well, I’m a human. My name is Corbin. What’s yours, if you don’t mind me asking?” I say, she looks hesitant to say but gives a small smile and gets up. She stands about five foot three compared to my six foot four height, so she still had to look up at me. She puts up her hand, and when I went to shake it she just pulls me into a hug, catching me off guard. “Thank you Corbin, thank you, I don’t know what have happened if you hadn’t come.” She said, by this time she was on the verge of tears so I did the only thing that I could, I hugged her back trying to comfort the poor girl. When she stopped crying after a few minutes she breaks off the hug and smiles at me. “My name is Marionette.” She said, it was an odd name but I kept my comments to myself, thought I did ask one question. “What’s going on, and where am I? One second I’m in the woods bow hunting and now I’m here in what looks like a castle siege with aliens running around.” The last part caught Marionettes attention though she didn’t comment on it. Though she didn’t say anything at first she looked at me and said something that I was not expecting, but was at the same time. “Yes we are under attack; the thing that you just knocked out was a changeling, a creature that can morph into anything and anyone. This isn’t the first time they attacked but this time they have numbers on there side.” Marionette said with a sad tone, but that got me thinking. “You said that this isn’t he first time, so that means they have a leader. If I can find them, I can make put an end to this with diplomacy and end the attack by acting as a third party negotiator. I know it sound crazy or downright insane but I have to try. And to be honest I think I just fell out of my tree stand and am in a coma, so no harm, no foul.” I said, though Marionette was looking at me like I was insane, and I don’t blame her, I never was good a politics. “They do have a leader, her name is Queen Chrysalis. She was in the castle last time I knew, it’s only around the corner.” She said, I just nodded and was about to turn to leave but was stopped by a hand on my shoulder. I looked back just hear Marionette say, “Your insane, but be careful.” I nodded, put the mask back on, grabbed my bow and put an arrow in the notch. Once I was ready I took off to the castle with the intention of stopping this feud one way or another, and finding a way to wake up or go back home if this was all real. Author's Note This is just a test chapter, i may or may not continue this, it all depends. Constructive criticism is appreciated, and if you want to make a suggestion on how the meeting with chrysalis should go, just leave a comment down below.......now i just sound like Zecora.
INTERMISSION 1- Rest and Recovery 1- God?White. White was the only color visible and it was starting to burn my eyes, that and it seemed that I was the only one in this entire expanse. When I first walked through the portal all the pain that I had received previously disappeared, it was like it never happened, much to my satisfaction. Though none of this was calming my nerves, not even a tiny bit, if anything it only got me thinking. “Am I dead? Was all of that just me in a coma induced dream and I died? I mean if this is heaven I am severally disappointed, and I’m not even religious.” I thought to myself as I wondered aimlessly within the white void. I’m pretty sure I’ve walked at least the equivalent of a marathon when a voice, a deep bass one, spoke. “There you are! I’ve been looking for ages for you, how did you get this far away from where the portal was without me noticing?” the voice rattled every fiber of my being as I looked around for the source, but I couldn’t find anyone, much to my confusion. “Ah haha! Do not be alarmed my boy! I’ve just brought you into my domain to let you rest before you leave again. It’s not easy to fight with several cracked ribs, a punctured lung, and internal bleeding now is it!” The voice laughed, but I on the other hand was confused as to whom he is and what he meant by ‘leave again’. “Who are you? Are you God, because if you are I’m sorry I didn’t believe in you, also i'm sorry for stealing my mom’s car that one time to go to a party! Seriously that was a bad idea!” I yelled to the void, I was very worried that this was in fact God and I was about to burn in Hell for eternity, and I was expecting many reactions to my words, Laughter not being one of them. “Ahahaha! That’s a good one, not the first time, but still funny regardless. But no I am not God, just an entity looking for some fun, and by golly do you make it seem worth it to have taken you from that forest!” the voice bellowed another set of laughs, but I was fuming. This entity took me away from my home, made me fight a bug Queen in a different dimension, and worst of all HE MADE ME MISS MY DEER! “You Mother Fucker! You made me miss my deer, transported me to an alternate dimension, all to fight a bug Queen for your amusement!? The hell is wrong with you man, im done, I did your stupid little thing, now SEND ME HOME!” I screamed, by this point I was pissed beyond anything for one reason alone. I HATE being used, and this thing thinks it can use me? It has another thing coming. The entire void went quiet, not a single sound was heard for what felt like hours until the voice spoke again, it held no emotion and said something that made my body freeze up. “No, I won’t send you home. You have a few more jobs to do, and once those are complete then, and only then, will I send you home.” he said, his voice cold. I was dumbfounded, my body unwilling to move, my voice all but gone like the wind. I stood in there in shock as the voice continued. “Do not hate me for this, not that I care, but you are the last hope for these next few dimensions, the joy I get is only a bonus to me. Once you come to terms with this you can see that this is for the greater good.” The voice said, this time though his words held authority, and finality to them. After what felt like ages I spoke again in a low tone. “Sigh, What do you want me to do now, fight another monster thing? Because if it’s a giant ass spider you can count me out, but anything else that I have to do to get home I’ll do it.” I say, gaining some of my confidence, and cockiness back. This seemed to have pleased the voice because I started to laugh again, “That’s what I’m talking about, be yourself and get ready to kick some ass in another dimension!” he laughed. I was still a bit mad about having to fight dimensional monsters, but if it meant getting home, it was worth it. But one question still bothered me. “One thing though, why does my bow shoot regenerating arrows that all have a random effect? I mean it’s cool, so far there has been a lightning one, an explosive one, and a blue trap one, but why do my arrows do that?” Yet again I am answered by the voice laughing but he did answer me none the less. “That, my dear boy, was a small present to you. Did you honestly expect me to let you face up against creatures that could collapse the planet with only flimsy normal arrows, and a bow that could break? I think not! You see your arrows, when fired, will have a random effect put on them. They can be almost everything, including healing, but it’s all up to chance so use it wisely. The bow on the other hand is also enchanted, it cannot be broken by anything, and it can be summoned if you are more than a hundred or so feet from it. So you’ll never need to fear the loss of your bow. And that’s about it, after each successful battle you will be transported hear for some rest and recovery, understand?” the voice asked. I nodded dumbly trying to process the new information, but soon had another question, one that I was somewhat afraid to ask. “Since i'm going to be doing this can you tell me what or whom I’m fighting, I’d rather not just walk in there and get crushed by a giant or some other freaky inter-dimensional shit.” When the voice didn’t speak for a second I got worried, “I mean what could I be fighting that could be worse than-” My thoughts were interrupted by the voice saying one word. It was the only word I heard before I was shoved into yet another portal. “Tirek.”
BOSS 2- THINGY 1- Bubbles, Seriously?After being so graciously pushed through an inter-dimensional portal by God-Not-God, I found my self falling from several feet in the air towards an open field. The moment I hit the ground everything burst into pain, my breath was lost, and I could barely breathe. Plus to make matters worse my bow came down like a hammer onto my stomach, I bet the voice was laughing up a storm at my misfortune. Once the pain subsided, and I could breathe again I slowly stood up using my bow as a makeshift crutch, what I was both hilarious and terrifying. The funny thing was that there were five women and what looked like a five year olds art project gone wrong all trapped in bubbles. The other thing, the one that terrified me was the giant ass centaur looking thing, that I’m guessing was Tirek, in the back round having a fight with a flying woman that looked like an ant compared to Tirek. The other thing that scared me, and also left me thinking this was bullshit, was that Tirek, along with his massive size, also had the power to shoot fucking laser beams from his horns. “That’s so not fucking fare, at all. I mean what the hell am I supposed to do, poke at him with magic arrows until he gets annoyed and leaves? The hell, I didn’t sign up for this shit!” I yelled in frustration. By now I was right next to the bubble trapped people that were trying to get my attention, but I just ignored them by walking past them and making my way to the flying girl that looked like she was resting next to a nearby boulder. This girl looked like Marionette but with lavender skin, multi tone purple hair and tail, with both wings and a horn. When I got close enough she turned and got into a fighting stance, but I just walked past her a few steps and stopped when I saw Tirek lumbering over towards us in the distance. I spoke to girl without facing her with a very irritated and annoyed tone, “I don’t care who you are, but just know I’m here to clean up this mess against both my better judgement and will but it’s my only way home so get ready to fight again cause I’m about to do something extremely stupid.” I say as I draw back my bow and take aim at the behemoth in front of me, whilst praying for it to end this quickly without me being vaporized. I let the arrow fly as soon as I saw Tireks bullshit laser ball powering up. Tirek stared at the arrow as it became encased in a ghost white energy, when the arrow hit I wasn’t expecting it to do much but when it did an explosion erupted from the point of impact, though it was a different kind of explosion. Instead of a blinding flash it was just the shock wave and noise that sounded like the sound barrier was broken, that’s when it hit me. This arrow wasn’t explosive, it was pure force, and was enough to send Tirek flying a few hundred feet. I just stood there in awe with the woman next to me gaping at what had just happened, and for a moment I thought I was done, but life has a way of saying fuck you every time you think you succeeded. This time it was in the form of a very pissed off looking Tirek launching himself at me and the girl with his fist outstretched and directed at me. I only had time to say one thing before being hit with the equivalent of a brick house, and that was, “Bullshit.” You know those moments when you think you should have died but didn’t some how? Yea, that’s what just happened to me, you would thing that getting punched in the face by a fist the size of a house would kill you, bit apparently not. Don’t think I wasn’t happy, because I was, the only thing hindering me from cheering was the massive amount of pain I was in. Small problems in dire situations, they suck. The last thing I remember before blacking out was the purple girl picking me up. When I cracked open my eyes I was meet with a sky colored a sickly mixture of black and blood red, but my vision was soon blocked by a wall of purple. I thought I heard a voice but it was muffled enough to not allow me to know what was being said, though I’m pretty sure it was coming from the wall of purple. After a few minutes my eyes refocused and the wall of purple became the girl that picked me up before I blacked out, her face wore a scared, concerned expression. I slowly got up and looked around only to find that the entire field was decimated, it looked like a sponge with the amount of craters that riddled the landscape. Then I heard the voice of the girl behind me, but this time I could understand what was being said. “Are you OK, actually how are even alive? No one should have been able to survive that!” she said in disbelief, though the next thing I did was take off my mask, earning a gasp from the girl who muttered, “What are you?” That actually made me laugh until I started to cough harshly, it felt like someone put razors down my throat and made me hack them up. When the coughing fit subsided I turned back to the girl with a smile and got up before saying, “I’m a human that wants punch that Tirek guy in his fucking face, and please don’t tell me your name, after we beat this guy I’m hopefully going to get that God-Not-God guy to send me home. Now get up, its time to kick some ass.” I reached out my hand to help her up, and to see if she would trust me. At first she looked hesitant, looking between my hand and my face, but after a few seconds she grabbed my hand, and with a determined look said, “Lets do this.” I nodded and put my mask back on, at this point I only wore it because it was one of the only things left that reminded me of home. That and it was a gift from my grandfather on my first day of hunting. -Flashback- It was three in the morning when Papa came down the stairs fully dressed in camouflage, same as me, though this time he had an extra piece of clothing in his hands. “Corbin, I wanted to thank you for going hunting with me today, it makes me proud to know that you’d be willing to do this just to make an old man like me happy.” I was only twelve back then so what he was saying confused me, but I heard the pride in his voice, as well as the sorrow when he handed me the mask. “I won’t be able to do this forever so I wanted to give you this mask. It was given to me by my father, and to him by his, and so on and so forth. By giving you this you both are making me proud beyond anything, and by accepting it you are making a promise to keep the tradition of hunting alive within you until you pass it down to your son or grandson, do you understand?” Papa asked, the only answer I had was taking the mask and slipping it on. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him smile wider. -Flashback End- When the memory ended I noticed that the girl and I, plus the five from the bubbles, were back on the battlefield, and in front of us was Tirek who was laughing, he was really starting to piss me off. The girl turned to me and said, “Do you remember the plan?” I looked at her in confusion, “What plan?” The girl sighed and spoke, “The plan was to use the elements of harmony to supercharge your body and launch you at Tirek.” She said in a deadpan tone. “Did I agree to it?” is all I asked, and much to my dismay she nodded, sometimes I hate having flashbacks. “Fine, whatever, let’s just get this over with so I can get one step closer to going home. Fuckin bullshit if you ask me but no~.” I muttered the last part, but I don’t think they noticed because they were starting to glow and float. The next thing I knew I was floating, and my entire body became bathed in a rainbow light. It felt weird, like my entire body was warm and numb at the same time, it was actually quite nice in a way. But it all ended when the purple girl grabbed and launches me like a damn magic missile at Tirek, who looked both pissed and scared, don’t worry bud I know the feeling. As I flew through the air I only said one thing before punching Tirek in the face and that was, “FUCK MY LIFE!” Then everything went white, again. When my senses came too, and by that I mean I forced my eyes open, I was mercilessly blinded by the bright blue sky and sun. After a moment of just living there I managed to get up and look around, and even though my entire body ached, I still moved with no broken bones, somehow. But that didn’t matter because about ten feet away was another portal, and maybe even a way home. So I walked right up to it and prayed that it was going to send me home, but before jumping in I turned and saw the six girls, the one fucked up art project, and a very small, pissed looking Tirek in hand cuffs, staring at me and the portal. So I decided to leave them with one last thing. “Fuck this planet and all it shit within, and your welcome for me becoming the human torch, see ya!” That’s all that I said before diving into the portal to the unknown. Author's Note And that's all she wrote! When it comes to Tirek anyway. As always, I hoped you enjoyed and constructive criticism is encouraged.
INTERMISSION 2- The Hell is a Discord and What About Him?After jumping into the portal, praying to both God and God-Not-God to send me home, I was both depressed and angry when I saw that I was back in the white expanse. I wanted to scream every profanity known to man and then some, but I didn’t just for the fact I knew that the next fight was my last because of the magical power of three. If there was more than three it wouldn’t be good story structure now would it? I was brought out of my thoughts when The Voice spoke up, and by 'spoke up' I mean he was laughing a full, hearty, belly laugh that lasted for what felt like ages. It didn’t help that the longer he laughed the more irritated I became. Once he was done he actually spoke. “HAHA! That, my boy, was amazing! In all of my eternity I’ve yet to see someone be as crazy, brave, insane, and desperate as you! And don’t take that lightly, I rarely have that good of a laugh and it’s even rarer that I praise a mortal such as yourself! Haha!” The Voice boomed, and for a second he almost went back into a laughing fit, and to my sanity, he didn’t. But even though I wanted to leave already I had one question for him. “Okay, I get it, you think I’m funny and shit, haha. Whatever. Just tell me what I’m fighting next, I want to get back to my world and get back to my hunting, that thing you fucked up for me. And please for the love of God don’t ell me I’m fighting that art project thing I saw in the last dimension, cause that thing should not be physically possible!” I was really hoping the last fight would be an easy one that wasn’t against an living Picasso art piece. And for the first time in the whole escapade, I was told something I wanted to hear! “No you won’t have to fight the ‘art project' as you put it, his name, though, is Discord the Lord of Chaos. Fun guy once you get used to him, and that took me around six hundred or so mortal years, was definitely worth it in my opinion. But enough of my rambling, it’s time to give you some advice against your next task. The being that you are going to fighting is known to harness dark magic, be warned that his specialty resides in his swordsmanship and his ability to make nightmares and fears come to life. He has never been bested in a sword fight and his magic will no doubt kill you with your own fears. If it were not for your unique mental shielding, or as you would put it, The Human Will, he would be able the kill you. But do not think that it won’t test your sanity if he gets you within his magic’s grasp. Do you understand?” The Voice asked, though I did answer. “Yea I get it, don’t let him get close and turn me into Swiss cheese and don’t let his magical mine rape thing hit me, is that all Mr. God-Not-God?” maybe it wasn’t the best idea to call him that because in an instant I was sent flying through the portal, only hear one last thing. “King Sombra.” Author's Note Short but sweet intermission. YAY!
BOSS 3- SEQUENCE 1- I Hate This, And I Hate YouAfter, yet again, being launched out of the portal that I’ve come to despise, I landed on a rock that was warm, fluffy, and could talk. Wait, rocks can’t talk! I think. I got up and looked down only to see the yellow skinned girl with pink hair from the other dimension, she was just laying there, in only her under garments mind you, staring at me in fear. After a few seconds I reach out to her, to help her up and get some answers, but she just flinched away, allowing me to see a red mark on her left cheek with a small cut in the middle going diagonally down from left to right. The sight made my blood boil for one reason, I’ve seen that kind of mark before, hell I’ve even had it, that’s a sign that someone backhanded her with a ring on, and that shit hurts. Though I set that aside for later and crouched down to eye level so I could speak without looking intimidating, and I also took off my mask, earning a small gasp and whimper from the woman. “Are you OK, are you hurt? I mean I did just land on you after falling through an inter-dimensional portal.” I say, slightly getting back to my sarcastic self. She just looked at me like I just said that she just won the lottery. Without warning she kept up and hugged me tight, as if she let go I would leave forever. It was also extremely awkward for me for one simple reason, she was only in her bra and panties! I don’t care that it’s an alien, it’s got the same proportions as a human, so here I am face heating up to the point that I think I look like a damn tomato. After a few seconds she, thankfully, let go of me, what I saw next broke my sarcastic little heart. She was crying, not of sadness, but of joy, she was even smiling. It took a few minutes but she actually spoke to me, albeit in a voice that was so soft spoken I could barely hear it. “ You have no idea how happy I am to hear that someone other than my friends care about me. I thought that no one would ever come and try to save us from Sombra.” She almost broke into tears when she said the name, I asked her why she was even here, and the answer I got made me see red. “A-after we lost the battle he captured my friends and I and forced us to be his personal slaves. We’ve been here for two months, and already each of us have been beaten at least twice for disobedience.” At this point she was sobbing, so I did the only thing that anyone would have done, wrapped her up in a hug and just held her for what felt like hours as she cried onto my shoulder. After her cries became whimpers I let her go and gave her a look that said ‘everything’s going to be alright' and I asked a simple question, “Where can I find this Sombra, I’ve got to teach him how to treat a lady right because his parents definitely didn’t.” The woman nodded and pointed down the hall towards a pair of massive doors, not unlike the ones from the initial dimension. I also took a moment to realize that I was in yet another castle, as it would seem. I thanked her and told her to get her friends if she could and get out because this was going to be ugly. It also didn’t help that he abused women, which only made me want to rip off his leg and beat him with it. When I was about twenty feet away from the door I put my mask back on, aimed an arrow at the door, and let it fly. To say that my entrance wasn’t spectacular would be an understatement l, when the arrow hit the center of both doors, it exploded with enough force to send whatever didn’t get decimated flying. And to make It better I just walked through the smoke and fire like a badass. When I finally made it all the way through the debris I actually got to see what Sombra looked like, and to say I wasn’t scared shit less would be a complete and utter lie, I may have just shit a brick. This guy was massive, he stood at about seven foot, he was ripped, I swear even his muscles had muscles. The other things that drew my attention was that he had a curved horn, a black crown, and a sword that seemed to be as tall as me. And that’s when I made the best first impression ever in the history of mankind. “Ok now this is some bullshit. How the hell do you expect me to fight someone that literally has been only taking steroids his whole life!? This is bullshit I tell you!” By the end of my short tirade I was staring up at the ceiling expecting God-Not-God to say something, but he didn’t. That’s when I heard someone laughing, I turned and saw that Sombra was laughing at me. So I did the only sensible thing in that situation, I fired an arrow at him. The only problem with that was that he just caught it, it looked like he was just about to talk but the arrow exploded before he could, sending him flying through the wall. I knew it was to much to ask for this to be over when he stepped back through the hole. He looked pissed. Fuck my life. His horn glowed as he fired shot after shot of his magic mind rape stuff, I was doing pretty well dodging, but I only managed to fire two more arrows during his barrage, one being the electrical arrow, that of which he just shrugged off, and the other being the blue holding mist that he, yet again, shrugged off. I swear he was a living juggernaut combined with a tank. Just when I thought I could get another shot off one of the beams hit me, and at fist I didn’t feel anything but then I looked at Sombra again, I’m pretty sure I pissed my pants. There in front of me was not Sombra, but a giant ass spider with a clown face. And say what you want but when you combine an eight legged creature from the depths of hell and a demon made to entertain kids together, you get something that will haunt you for the rest of your life. This is also when Sombra made a grave mistake, I don’t run when something scares me, I scream like a bitch and beat the living shit out of it till it’s dead. My mind instantly when to overdrive as I loaded arrow after arrow with a speed that professionals would at in awe. After about a good thirty or so arrows, all of which seemed to vary between lightning and explosive, the only thing left in the crater was a normal looking Sombra with all his limbs in physically impossible positions, his sword destroyed, and his horn broken off. I nodded in approval and turned around only to be pulled into a group hug with the girls from the Tirek dimension. They where all saying the thanks but that’s when I saw the portal open up, I carefully pushed them away, and when I got to the portal the yellow skinned girl grabbed my arm, spun me around, and grappled me into another hug as she spoke, “Where are you going now? I don’t even know your name and you saved us, why?” I looked down at her and said, “I did what I did because it was my only way home, and I’m not going to lie but that was almost the whole reason. But it changed when I saw what he did to you, my mom raised me to never hit a woman, no matter what. She also said to kick any mans ass if I saw it happen, and that’s all the reason I needed. As to where I’m going, I’m going home.” And that was the last thing I said before walking through the portal. To the place that I had been trying to get back to for so long. Home. Author's Note Double Upload! Holy S**t! Anyway this is the end of the story. So thank you for reading and have a nice day! And if anyone wants to use my OC, universe, or make a sequel I'm perfectly fine with that, and somewhat curious as to what others would wright. So if anyone dose just send me a message with a link to the story, I'm always up to see what others can create from something I've made!
BOSS 1- Entry 2- Diplomacy NEVER WorksWhen Marionette said it was around the corner I didn’t think it meant around the corner and then run a mile just to get to the entrance. But other than being winded I hadn’t come across any resistance, it was odd because one would think you’d have to fight your way through to get the leader. But apparently not. The other thing that I noticed wile running was the architecture, I’m pretty sure it was Roman, but I wasn’t perfectly sure. I knew I found the entrance when I saw a massive gold gate that was destroyed, seriously the thing looked like it took on a big rig. Going full speed. Packed with explosives. Okay, so that may be an exaggeration, but it was completely destroyed. Never the less, against my better judgment, I walked through the gates debris and into the decimated castle. As I walked through the barren hallways, I saw no bodies to my relief, only scorch marks. The more I walked through the place the more paranoid I became. “There’s no way that this place, that has their leader residing in it, isn’t guarded.” I thought frantically to myself, only to stop dead in my tracks when I turned what I believe was my thousandth corner. Straight ahead was about ten or more changelings just watching me, that is until one started to run at me, and was soon followed by the others. In that moment I did the only thing a semi-sane person would do. I ran, but not before I fired an arrow at the lead changelings knee. The arrow hit its mark but also did something that was both terrifying and awesome at the same time. Instead of the arrow getting lodged in its knee it evaporated into a bolt of lightning electrocuting the first and arching to the rest of the group. In mere seconds the group that was just charging me was reduced to a group of slightly fried, unconscious changelings. I just stood there in complete awe of what just happened, I quickly looked to my quiver and see that I still have all my arrows. “Magic bow, regenerative arrows, I’m really starting to think that the coma idea is the right one.” I thought to myself as I walked around the downed group, only to find myself face to face with two massive doors. The left one had a picture of the sun imprinted on it, the other had a picture of a crescent moon. All in all I had no idea of how to open them myself, so I did the only thing I could, I knocked on the door three times. In hindsight it probably wasn’t t best of ideas, though I did get an answer. “Who is it, I told all of you to not bother me!” a woman’s voice said, it was kind of weird because the voice sounded two voices at once, though it did sound kind of cool. But I had a job to do so I answered, “Umm, I was never told, I kind of just got here and I looking for a Queen Chrysalis, do you know her? I’m kind of lost, and no offence but you really need to clean this place up, it’s a mess.” I have no idea why I said that but it sounded good in my mind. In the time it took when the woman opened the door many things happened. The first was that this changeling was much taller than the rest of them from what I’ve seen, while the others have been around five foot seven and have almost no gender defining features, this one on the other hand was about six foot and had both long cyan-ish hair and also had breasts. And like all the others were the presence of both the jagged horn and bug wings. The other thing that happened, that was equally important was I spoke to her. “I’m guessing your Chrysalis, so I’ll just get to the point, do you think we could talk, maybe sit down, have a few drinks a just talk OK?” I say nonchalantly as I walk past her dumbfounded face, though on the inside I was freaking out and praying to any and all deities to let me live through this. When I get fully into the room I notice the two gigantic thrones at the end of the hall, I also notice the seven green cocoons with seven figures within. Seeing the cocoons did not help my nerves but regardless I made my way to one of the thrones and sat down. I was soon joined by Chrysalis who still looked a little confused but less so than before, I took of my mask and earned a gasp from Chrysalis when she saw my face. “What are you, and why are you here?” Chrysalis asked in a slightly scared voice. I put down my bow, unloaded the arrow from it, and sat back in the chair, still trying to keep up the nonchalant attitude instead of breaking down into a nervous wreck. “Well, to be honest I have no idea how I got here to this place, but the reason was just to see if I can talk to you and see why your invading this castle. I mean if you have a good reason then go for it, but if not I’ll have to use a little more, how do you say it? Force, to make both you and the previous inhabitants get along. Understand?” by the end of that I was screaming at myself on the inside for saying something as stupid as that, but to my credit I kept up my neutral tone and expression. Chrysalis on the other hand looked both livid and respectful of me, that is until she broke into a wide grin and started to laugh a little bit but stopped in a few seconds. She turned back to me, smile still present, and spoke. “What makes you think that you, a random creature, can take me on? I already took down the most powerful being in the world, so what do you think you could do to me?” Chrysalis asked, laughing at the end a little bit. I wracked my brain to come up with something to challenge her accusation. At first I thought I wouldn’t but then one question came to mind. “That may be so, but have you ever tried to sit down a make a treaty or something before you attacked? And why did you attack anyway?” I asked, both to get out of the situation but also because I was genuinely interested because if I was in a coma and I could remember all of this I could turn this into a best seller book. At first she looked confused but that soon turned into a sheepish smile. “Well, no I’ve never attempted to create a treaty with Celestia, but it wouldn’t of worked anyway, this isn’t the first time I’ve invaded. As to the reason why we invaded was because my hive was starving, I know you probably don’t know this but we changelings feed off of emotions, or love to be more precise. So in another desperate attempt I invaded again, and it worked! Now all that’s left to do is to dispose of those seven over there, there nothing but trouble and a threat to me.” Chrysalis explained with venom. At this point I was both terrified and confused. “Question, if you force everyone under your rule wouldn’t that make the resentful of you and not love you, effectively setting you back to square one?” I asked, I was genuinely confused on how she just completely over looked that huge loophole. Chrysalis looked at me with a scared face, like she didn’t see that as a problem, but it quickly converted into rage. At that moment I knew I dun fucked up, so I ducked down and grabbed my bow just in time to doge a beam of, what I was guessing was, magic that completely obliterated the throne I was just in. “ENOUGH! You will not patronize me creature, you will die for your insolence!” Chrysalis screamed, aiming another shot at me from her horn, so I lined up an arrow and let it fly. The thing about this arrow is that It through me off when it glowed blue before hitting Chrysalis in the chest, when it did the arrow disappeared and the blue hue surrounded Chrysalises entire form. The best part about it was that she couldn’t move, I mentally cheered, that is until the hue dissipated and allowed Chrysalis to move again. I cried a little inside. She flew at me, grabbed one of my legs, spun and launched me. I only had one thing to say during my impromptu flying lesson, “FUUUUCK!” When I hit the ground again I skidded to a halt about fifty feet away from the thrones. I groaned ad I sat up and grabbed my bow, only to see Chrysalis monologueing. “Just give up creature you’ll never beat me, I’m the most powe-“ she never finished the sentence since an arrow, apparently an explosive one, hit her dead in the chest and launched her into a wall, that of which now had a pattern of spiderwebing cracks added to it. I walked over to the now dazed Chrysalis and said one thing. “The names Corbin.” I launched my first at her face, one that was full of fear, but stopped just before hitting her. I reached out my index finger and taped her on the nose, “Boop.” She fainted on the spot. Once the adrenalin started to wear of I became very aware of the excruciating pain that was coursing throughout my body, mainly my ribs, apparently being launched a good fifty feet will do that to you, who knew? The next couple of things happened pretty much at the same time, one of them was one of the cocoons fell and broke open revealing a very tall woman with multi-colored hair that seemed to flow in the non-existent wind, and she was looking right at me. The second thing to happen was a portal, or vortex, opened up right in front of me, so now I had a choice to make. Either help the now very confused looking woman, or go through the portal that may lead home. I did what was right at that moment, and walked right through the portal saying, “Your welcome.” To the woman on the floor. Author's Note And that's why you fight!
