//-------------------------------------------------------// What if...: The Court of Owls Invaded Ponyville? -by Bombastic Relish- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Introduction //-------------------------------------------------------// Introduction A man in a fancy suit and tie with a white owl mask covering his face walks into the room. He looks around as he sees the other members seated around a long wooden table. “Ladies and Gentleman,” he begins “as this night continues, I would like to recognize that we are very close to ruling Gotham City. But the Batman and his cohorts are getting in the way. Our magicians, at Haly’s Circus, has found a magic source that will stop him once and for all.” He presses a button on his owl shaped cane. A tiny lightbulb in the middle of the table popped up, illuminating a hologram, which revealed a pony. “The hologram you see before you is what’s known as the legendary Gypsy Spirit," he continued "this spirit contains the magical abilities we desire in order to fully take over Gotham. The only problem is, it’s in another dimension known as Equestria, and none of the magicians are able to identify who its avatar is. With the Courts decision, I would like to send in a Talon, who would disguise themselves as one of their own, retrieve information on the Gypsy Spirit, kill the Avatar, and bring it back to us for further use.” The members gathered around an old woman in a wheel chair, who’s also wearing a white owl mask. They whisper quietly as they made their decision. “The Court has made its decision,” the old woman answered, “we have agreed to send a Talon across the dimensional plan to retrieve this spirit. And I think we know just the right one.” One of the men wearing a white Owl Mask turns and opens the door. Out comes a figure, an assassin in all black clothing, wearing a mask with goggles for eyes and thin golden rims that represent the facial features and beak of an owl. He is very slender and where’s a lot of pouches that contain knives with owl emblems, and a belt that also represents that of an owl. “Yes, my court,” he replied. “This member will take you to where you must go in order to fulfill your mission,” replied the old woman as the man in the fancy suit escorted the Talon. The man in the fancy suit filled the Talon in with all of the details nessacery for his mission. “Now I must warn you, this is going to change your form completely, and you might not feel like yourself at first. But once you have entered their world, you will live among them and be just like them.” “As you wish,” the Talon agreed. “Now go, my Talon! Make the Court proud!” One of the magicians conjured a spell which opened a portal into Equestria, where the Talon swiftly entered.
