The World's Most Powerful Nobodies
Enter: "Gary the Human!"
Load Full StoryNext Chapter"So... you want me to tell you how I got here, huh?" a lone human's voice asks. The figure standing in the foreground is wearing a black hoodie with blue jeans and black Combat Boots. He also wears black leather gloves, his hair is glowing white, and his eyes glow a vampiric red color, while he looks down at the large pile of Demon Corpses that he stands on top of with a demented smile.
"Hey! Eyes down here!" Suddenly, the view shifts to an ordinary man behind a counter, with shortly cut dark brown hair, a red shirt, and black trouser pants. He would be wearing a traditional "Hay Burger" uniform, and be staring at the pile of corpses with a bored expression... or rather, he'd be staring at the camera. "Don't mind that guy over there. He's just some random dude on Television."
Sure enough, the TV was on, and some weird Anime TV Show was on, with the main protagonist being some sort of stereotypical "emo hero" spinoff of Lucifer, or whatever the equivalent of the Devil could be in whatever belief.
"Anyways, you want me to tell you how I got here?" the human asks again.
The camera shakes its head "No".
"Good. Because I forgot how I got here, too." the human would reply. As the camera zooms in closer to his nametag, he blocks it off with his hand. "Hey, now, eyes up here, buddy!"
The camera tilts slightly, to which the one on focus rolls his eyes and groans.
"Look, my name isn't that important right now. But if you really want something to work with, I'll just make my name sound like 'Gary'. Sound good?"
"Hey, Gary! Who are you talking to?" a feminine voice calls out from behind the counter.
"Gary", as he apparently is, now, replies, "Nothing, Mrs. Buns! Just practicing for opening hours!"
"Well, would you mind helping us with this box of garbage again? We don't have any unicorns working right now, so you're the only one able to lift it up into the disposal!"
Gary sighs. Garbage duty. Of course it's gotta be garbage duty!
"On my way!" he replies, forcing a smile on his face. Upon lifting his hand, and not moving an inch, however, he simply snaps his fingers.
A moment passes by.
"DAMMIT, GARY! WHERE THE BUCK DID THE DUMPSTER GO THIS TIME?!" Mrs. Buns shouts out.
AFTER WORK...
"And in other news, more garbage appears in Canterlot, near the Celestial Palace. Investigations are still underway on who the perpetrator is, but after rigorous studying, the only possible culprit is this stallion." a news reporter states on TV, before the image of an odd-looking stallion hugging a tub of jelly appears on the image corner.
Gary flips the channel with the click of the remote, now simply wearing a gray sleeveless shirt and blue jeans. He has his cheek resting on his fist, while a bored sigh escapes his lips.
"Maybe I should go and do something today..." he says, before smirking. "Nah, I think I'll just sit here and relax."
Suddenly, a loud roar fills the area, shaking the walls, floor, and foundation of the building. Screaming is soon followed, while ponies and people of varying shapes and sizes run through the city in fear.
Gary groans, before standing up from the couch and dragging his feet over to the window. "Ugh... what is it this time?" he asks nobody in particular.
As if on cue, an obese stallion gallops up to his window, taps on the window, and shouts, "MONSTER ATTACK!"
Gary closes his curtains and scoffs at this. "Really? Couldn't they wait until Monday or Friday?" he asks, only to look at his calendar, confirming that it is, indeed, a Monday.
"... Oh. Well, couldn't they wait until NEXT Week?" He looks down, only to notice that next Monday is Half-Off Day at the Supermarket... one of his, and his room-mates' favorite days that only happens once every two months.
"... On second thought, today's fine, as long as whatever it is doesn't bother me."
With a shrug, he walks back over to his couch and turns his TV on.
"HUGGIEBUNNIES!" a colorful cartoon show turns on, with a light blue boy bunny and a bright pink girl bunny giggling and dancing on the screen.
Gary smiles at this. "Oh, hell yeah! Huggie Bunnies is on! Loved this show when I was a kid!" he calls out, uncaring to the world at how obscure it is for a grown man to like a show such as this.
He looks at the camera and shushes it. "Shut up! My show's on, I'm gonna watch it, and nobody's gonna care about it at this time!"
HUGGIE BUNNIES
"What are you doing, Jeremy Bunny?" the pink one asks the blue one.
"I'm painting a picture, Jessie Bunny!" the blue one replies to the pink one.
"Ooh, can I paint, too?" Jessie asks, seemingly entranced in the badly-drawn stick figure Jeremy's painting.
"Nuh-uh! Go play with your dollies, Jessie Bunny!" Jeremy replies, sticking his tongue out.
"Waaaah!" Jessie cries, before a much taller bunny shows up in the background.

"Jeremy Bunny! Why is your sister crying?" she asks, seemingly glaring at the little blue bunny.Jeremy, too, gets sad. "She's trying to take my paint away, Mama Bunny!"
"Is this true, Jessie Bunny?" Mama Bunny asks.

"I only asked if I could Paint, too, Mama Bunny!" Jessie replies.Mama Bunny looks over at Jeremy Bunny. "Is this also true, Jeremy Bunny?"
Jeremy Bunny nods his head, looking down. "Yes, ma'am, Mama Bunny..."
Mama Bunny then rubs her chin in thought. "Hmm... then how about this! Would you children like Mama Bunny to teach you a very important lesson in life?"
"Yes, ma'am!" they both reply in unison.
"Very good! Now first, I need you both to listen really well, because this is actually a very grown-up lesson, that many grown-ups even have trouble understanding!"
The kids gasp. "Really?! What is it, what is it?!" Jeremy asks, now very interested.
The mother giggles. "Well, Jeremy... the lesson I am about to teach you, is a lesson called sha-"
The station immediately goes off the air, leaving a long bleeping noise in its place.The TV Screen goes off shortly after.
Gary stares at the now dark screen with, perhaps, one of the darkest looks he's had the whole day. A mixture of hatred, sorrow, and many other negative emotions could be picked up so strongly, a changeling would likely die by merely sniffing it.
He holds the remote up in the air, and grits his teeth, causing the remote to crumble into dust.
"You... interrupted... Huggie Bunnies..."
He takes a deep breath from his nostrils, and exhales slowly from his mouth, before opening his now flaming red eyes.
"... BIG mistake."
Meanwhile, outside the Apartment Complex...
A massive dinosaur-like creature with a spiky back, several fish-like eyes, and a large round mouth with a ring of massive spiky teeth storms through the city, punching buildings down, and shaking off electricity from the power lines. It lets out a loud roar as vehicles and carriages are evacuated and left with citizens running away.
Everyone's running away from it... except for one human, dressed in only his sleeveless shirt, blue jeans, and a pair of black socks. He looks towards the creature with a death-glare, as his fists remain balled up.
One would easily know, at first glance, that this dude was beyond pissed.
"You! YOU! HOW... DARE YOU?!!" he shouts at the monster, pointing a finger at it.
The monster stops its carnage and looks at him, seemingly angered at his challenging shout.
"You know... I have a really short amount of patience for this kind of thing!" he continues, unfazed by the monster staring right at him.
"And no, I'm not talking about you destroying crap, either! You can blow the whole freakin' MARKET up, and I wouldn't care, which says a LOT considering how much I love the food around that area!
"But when you interrupt me from watching my TV in peace?! Oh~ ... do you realize what happened to the last fool that dared do such a thing?!
"I'll tell you what happened... nothing! Because NOB́OD͢Y̕ W̨AS̨ E͝VE̢R Ţ̷H͢ÀT͏͘ ͠F̷O͘OL͝ISH ̨BEF́OR͝E Y̨͡Ò̶U͘̕͜!"
He balls up his fist as the monster roars and begins charging towards him. He then smiles wickedly at it.
"Although, I guess I can thank you, as well... because NOW I HAVE SOMEONE TO MAKE AN EXAMPLE OUT OF!"
And with that, he easily rushes up to it at the speed of light, and launches an uppercut at the creature before it could even take another step towards him.
Meanwhile, in Canterlot...
A group of worried individuals kneels before Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, who both hold troubled looks on their faces.
"And you're sure this creature is still there?" Celestia asks one of the survivors.
"Y-yes, Your Highness! We teleported here as soon as we heard the roars... it was awful! The creature was able to absorb magic, and held more strength and endurance than that of an Ursa Major!"
"Hmm... then we must evacuate the city at once, and send in reinforcements! There's no way Twilight and the Elements could handle such a creature, if it can absorb magic... we may have to actually go there, ourselves, Sister... at least to draw its attention away from the civilians!" Celestia declares.
Luna nods her head, and with a flash, the two of them are well-equipped with their armor and weapons. Several guards immediately follow them into the Castle Entrance.
As the guards stand in formation, the princesses address them with Crystal-Empire Clarity.
"Attention, Soliders! Today, we shall face an adversary the likes of which none have ever fought before! I want you all to know that this threat may very well be the last one you will face alive... and so, there is no shame in staying here, if you truly fear for your life... but know that those that do come with us, shall be under our protection!
"We have sent letters to your families now, addressing the situation! Should you have any last words, then we will hear them out, and have them officially written, documented, and sent to your loved ones, be it as serious as a declaration of love, to a simple request to delete one's browsing history!"
"Oh, thank Celestia..." one of the guards murmurs in the background.
"... You're welcome." she replies, smiling at the now blushing stallion, while a few give a couple giggles.
"Anyways... is everypony ready?!" she calls out.
"YEAAAAAAAH!" one of the beefier soldiers in the background roars out.
"... Aren't you a Spa Pony?" Celestia asks.
"Of course not, Sister! He's a Cinnamon Nut Salespony!" Luna replies.
"Actually, I'm both... and an Athlete, and a Gym Teacher, and a-"
"Anyways! ONWARD... MARCH!" the princesses call out, before opening the doors to the Castle, and approaching the Courtyard, where two janitors finally toss a pair of bags into a dumpster nearby.
"Finally, we finished cleaning the Courtyard!" the stallion janitor says to the human next to him.
"No kidding! At least now we can take a break from all this mess!" the human replies.
Immediately, they stand to attention while the guards make their way down the stairs to the castle.
"Looks like they're off to war... and with that many soldiers? Good gosh, I'd hate to see what they're about to go up against!" the stallion comments.
Immediately, a large shadow looms over the area, before a massive, severed dinosaur-like head plops into the center of the yard, covering a huge chunk of the courtyard in blood, chunks, and a few eyeballs. Its tongue unfurls out of its mouth, while the eyes that are still in its head have cartoonish "X" marks on them, indicating the creature's dead state.
Everyone stares at the creature's head in silence, while the janitors grumble, and resume their cleaning duties, now having a much, much bigger cleaning job to deal with.
"You just had to jinx it..." the human complains to the stallion.
In the meantime, the soldiers just stand there, awe-struck at the creature that, sure enough, looked dangerous enough to be considered a "Major Threat", and seemed to have flown in from the direction they were about to be heading.
The princesses blink owlishly, wondering just what kind of being could pose such power, to bring about the demise of such a powerful monster.
And with another moment of silence, the guard from before finally asks, "So, uh... did we win?"
Back at Tall Tale Apartments...
(Last one, I promise!)
With another crappy day in paradise, Gary now sits on his couch, frowning at his TV. It would likely take the Cable Company a "few hours" to fix the damages that were done to his cable... but if anything, he knows better than to trust a Cable Company with anything.
With a sigh, he just stares blankly at the empty space while the door behind him swings open. Inside, trots a black-coated bat pony with a red mane and tail, vampire-like fangs, and a bored expression on her face.
She flutters her way onto the couch, where she rests on the cushion next to Gary, and groans.
"Man... I bucking hate Mondays..." she states.
"Tell me about it..." Gary replies. "Missed my freakin' show again, because some stupid dinosaur terrorized the city."
"Oh, so that's what the chaos out there was about... for a second, I thought it was just Half-Off Day at the Supermarket."
"No, that's next Monday." Gary corrects, to which she sighs and nods her head, seemingly relieved.
"Oh, thank goodness... that relieves a lot of stress that I've had!" she says.
Gary raises a curious eyebrow. "Huh... wanna talk about it?"
She sits there silently for a moment, before shrugging her shoulders. "Eh, buck it. Don't have anything better to do, anyways..."
And with that, she begins to tell him how her day went, while the camera begins to rewind the day, going back to the beginning, but this time, in Bloody Mary's perspective.
Author's Note

... I regret nothing, and will accept your hatred with a smile... it's starting to get delicious.
