Chapter 1: The Ace “Can someone come help me push mid?” one of my teammates says. It was a sunny day here in the Philippines as I sit in my room playing my favorite game valorant. We were on breeze a map which I hate a lot due to my poor aiming skills but they weren't too bad either. It was 12 to 12 in an unrated game one more win to victory. We were on attackers and the enemy team was the defenders currently I was pushing mid along with another player. We were trying to make a fake B push so that A site would be secured. “Sova get ready.” He said again as he peeks through the boxes we were hiding. Mid was clear much to his surprise. I was currently playing Phoenix the one commanding us and carrying the spike(aka the bomb) was playing Jett and the player next to me was playing Omen preparing to smoke on command. “Sova fire your recon dart now omen smoke B tunnel.” He says as on command I see from the distance a dart shoot from the sky and land into b site. A perfect lineup revealing an unlucky sage that was hiding near the entrance of b main. Omen then proceeds to smoke B tunnel as we slowly got out of our hiding place heading towards the wooden doors that lead to the A site. “You think they took the bait?” Sova says over the mic. Just then we heard footsteps coming from the top of mid wooden doors then we heard the metal door open from A switch. “Looks like they just did.” Jett says with a bit of joy in his voice. We proceed to release our knives because everyone knows you can run faster with a knife even when you are walking. We then pushed our backs against the door as I looked over mid again. Omens smoke was still covering b tunnel but now there was an enemy brimstone in mid nest watching B elbow with his Op he then proceeds to scan the entire mid area and I manage to hide before he could spot me. “Sage is A site clear?” Jett speaks again breaking the intense silence. Sage was in A shop and was about to peek at the entrance of A site. Unfortunately, no enemies were on A site aside from the metal door on A switch which was still wide open. “A is clear.” Sage says on the mic giving us the green light. “Got it,Sova get your ass over here.” Jett says as he and Omen were rushing to the door. I peeked one last time to find omen’s smoke gone and brim was hiding behind the boxes on mid top facing his Op towards the tunnel. It won't be long until they realize what we were up to. To my horror, I suddenly heard two shotgun shots coming from the wooden doors. “Sage what the hell?! You said it was clear!” Jett shouted into the mic. I turned my head to find Jett and omen dead on the floor with the spike dropped. Apparently sage checked all of A site except the wooden doors. The enemy had his back against the wall just enough to not be noticed by sage. It was a 3v5 now. Realizing our cover had been blown I had to act fast. I then ran out of my hiding place and proceeded to fire my gun at brimstone, luck must have been on my side today because before brimstone could even act he was immediately taken out by a bullet to the head. Sage quickly ran to the wooden doors and proceeded to rain hell upon the enemy Yoru who was hiding on the closed side of the wooden door. Sadly sage was able to hit him a lot but ran out of bullets before she could kill him. The enemy Yoru took this advantage to take the vandal from the dead Jett while sage was reloading. “Shit! Yoru is Lit!” Sage shouted as she tried to run away from Yoru. I quickly turned my head towards the door and immediately spotted Yoru grabbing the gun from Jett's corpse I then proceed to fire burst shots at Yoru finishing him off. 3v3 now. I was still out in the open until I was getting fired from both the enemy sage who had a bulldog with her and an enemy killjoy who had a phantom. panicking, I quickly set my camera face down and used my curveball ability to blind both sage and killjoy. luckily I haven't blinded myself but the two enemies still fired at me and even managed to hit me twice leaving me with 80 of my health if not thanks to my heavy armor. Sova was still rotating to A site in fact in the corner of my eye I saw him at our spawn point with his knife out running towards A lobby before focusing my view on the wooden door. I quickly grabbed the spike and entered A site sprinting. Sage then used a barrier orb blocking any enemies from entering through the wooden doors. As I begin planting the spike Sova finally arrives. “Sorry I'm late,” he says in a joking manner. “Focus Sova and help me out here!” Sage says pointing her rifle at A bridge. As sova pushes forward further into A site the spike had finally been planted on A pyramid now we just needed to hold out for the remainder of the time left. Me and sage were hiding on A pyramid while Sova was hiding next to a big yellow crate just ahead of us. “Just play it slow guys,” I finally spoke up. “It's a 3v3 we got this.” as if in queue we all heard the familiar “YOU WILL NOT KILL MY ALLIES!” from the enemy sage as she revives the enemy brimstone I had killed. “Putang ina.” I said to myself as we now had to deal with a sniper as well. first, the metal door from A switch was still open meaning that we have to guard two entrances at once and now we have to deal with their top fragger. “Sova close the metal door!” Sage shouted. Sova then approached A switch and quickly shut the metal door before returning to his hiding spot. As he did bullets started to rain on A bridge signaling the enemy's arrival. Sova's recon dart had finally finished its cooldown and he 1 bounced it to hit the wall next to the bridge. The enemies took notice of this and quickly shot the dart but not before It could scan them. There were 3 enemies on the bridge with 1 being unknown. The enemy brimstone was now putting smoke on top of the crate where Sova was and one covering sage’s vision of the bridge. I was backing Sova up in case he were to get traded or surrounded by the enemy. Just then a stim beacon was thrown out of the smoke and both Killjoy and Sage popped out of the smoke. Sova fired his gun at the enemy sage which she responds with a burst shot into Sova’s head killing him instantly. Killjoy quickly rushes in my direction throwing a swarm grenade at me just before she triggered her grenade I got out of the way and sprayed my gun killing her. Both of the Sage’s were fighting each other but hiding behind the same pyramid pillar I turned to face the enemy sage and she suffered the same fate but not before firing back at me leaving me with 45 health left. But that didn't bother me because Phoenix just by the name can heal himself by his own flames. I then use hot hand to create a fireball and tossed it to the ground to heal myself. 2 v 2 now. Time was running as the spike started to tick faster which was good for us but not for them we just had to hold out a little longer. Just then as I turn around to reload I spotted a yellow light on the wall next to the entrance of A site. Then I knew who it was. I turned my camera away from the yellow light as it exploded, fortunately blinding sage as my vision returned the enemy breach quickly got out and started attacking sage she was getting rained by bullets but luckily I managed to save her by putting two bullets into the breaches head with my ghost. 2 v 1 we had a chance. But that didn't last long as sage was now out of her hiding spot giving brimstone a kill of his own. The bomb was still ticking and brim had to act fast I just didn't have to mess up. The enemy Brimstone quickly ran out of A bridge and grabbed a phantom from the dead Killjoy and sprayed towards my direction which only made me smile as I knew it was already over. The bomb was already ticking like crazy as it was about to explode and the enemy brimstone seemed like he didn't want me to have this ace. but he made his move and it was already too late for him. As I turn out of my hiding spot and sprayed the remaining bullets.at him. with the familiar ace ring from the game and the cheers from my teammates it was over. “ATTACKERS WIN” the announcer shouted. “LEETS GOOOOO!” Sova shouted into the microphone. “SHEEEEEEESH!” Omen begins. “Your better, holy shit your better.” Jett started still shocked at what happened. “Gg’s Everyone! well played phoenix!” Sage finally said with a cheery tone in her voice. And just like that everything went silent. I was back at the main menu but a smile was still on my face. This…. This is why I love this game. The rush of excitement coming from your body, The callouts and commands, and the hype that is given by your teammates. It all felt amazing sure it also applies to every other fps game but for valorant it's something else I guess it's just how I loved the characters so much and their roles in the world of valorant not to mention that they even have unique voice lines on different situations. when we are losing they encourage us to keep fighting and focus when we are winning they taunt the enemy team saying how bad they are giving us even more courage to win it's just wow. I hope this game never dies and it won't be anytime soon as it was relatively new. I finally got up from my chair and turned off my pc to give it some rest after spending nearly 2 hours playing the game and headed toward the bathroom. I checked the clock hanging from my wall It was 8:00 in the morning the day had just begun. Somewhere in the Everfree forest: A mysterious shadowed mist wanders around the Everfree forest carrying what appears to be an old summoning book. The mist itself was dark but with red eyes coming out of it, it traveled around the forest for a while until it reached a clearing. Satisfied the entity drops the book onto the grass then suddenly the mist surrounding the entity faded leaving a man figure standing with the darkness of mist still covering him. “Finally I have found it after all these years,” It said with a deep tone in its voice. “ Equestria will pay for what they had done to me! Especially you Celestia.” He said the last part with a low growl. He then began to open the book as he focuses his powers onto his hand releasing a dark aura. “Book of old bring forth the race that was lost long ago and give him the powers of the things he loved the most.” The dark aura from his hand started to grow bigger and the book slowly levitating from the ground “HUMAN I SUMMON YOU!” He shouted closing his eyes and releasing all of his power into the book which exploded with a loud bang that is sure to be heard by anyone or in this case anypony around the vicinity. Smoke was covering both the entity and the book. He slowly approaches too where the book once was only to find the remains of it. The pages were all burnt and shredded into pieces. he proceeded to push even further into the smoke past the burnt book. As the smoke finally clears off he could see something large on the ground and began to walk toward it. He thought that he had summoned a powerful warrior or some shadowed demon like himself but to his disappointment, it was just a regular human unconscious on the grass. He sighed in defeat trying to figure out what went wrong when he cast that spell. Just then the human finally woke up pushing his face off the grass and was now laying on his back only then he realized the figure standing before him with his hand on his face. He quickly stood up and pushed himself away from the tall figure because of the poor lighting he couldn't see him well only stopping when he hit his head against a tree.That was when the figure finally took notice and looked directly at the panicking human with his red menacing eyes. Who are you?! He shouted at the figure. Chapter 2: Meet The FigureSomething has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.Chapter 3: Enemies In The Dark“Damn me and my big mouth!” I thought to myself as I stand in the middle of the forest clearing waiting for my imminent death as these timberwolves surround me and were ready to eat me up to shreds. They seem to be taking their time as they circle me and the man but keeping themselves hidden in the trees. The man, figure, whatever he is was somewhat relaxed about what was happening right now. Actually, his face is rather expressionless as he continues to stare at me waiting for me to do something. “Dude, how are you so calm about all this?! We gotta find a way out of here!” I said clearly the fear shown in my voice but I tried to keep my face calm as I looked around for any possible escape routes or any openings at all. “I summoned you here for a reason. I want to see why the old book chose you instead of anyone else more powerful.” He said plainly and continued to look at me not even bothering the wolves around him. “What?! What you expect me to have some…” I stopped noticing the timberwolf that was about the pounce behind him. “LOOK OUT!” I said pointing toward the wolf’s location. He didn't bother to look where the wolf was but simply raised his open hand in the wolf’s direction. Then I saw a black aura surrounding his hand as the wolf finally got out of its hiding spot and jumped straight toward him. Just then the wolf was enveloped by the dark aura floating in the air but that didn't stop it from biting and barking at him. In a blink of an eye, he closed his hand into a fist and the wolf was crushed his green blood spilling everywhere even hitting the man’s hoodie a bit. the timberwolf was nothing left but crushed wood. Then he simply dropped it to the ground crossing his arms again and continued to look at me with a blank expression. My mouth was wide open at that point, he just killed that timberwolf like he had fought worse! I watched the entire thing happen in a matter of seconds and whoever this guy is…he sure is powerful. Then suddenly a timberwolf jumps from behind me and pushes me to the ground. I had my guard down and a timberwolf took this opportunity to charge right at me. I quickly grabbed its muzzle and jaw before hitting the ground trying to push it away from my face. I was face to face with the timberwolf trying desperately to fight the damn thing and I was only a few inches away from death. “HEY! I COULD USE A LITTLE HELP HERE!” I shouted as I continue to struggle from the timberwolves jaw. “Help yourself, I am not saving your ass until I can see what you're really capable of.” He said not moving an inch. The timberwolf then took a bite from my shoulder causing me to scream in pain as I returned my focus back to the timberwolf. I tried to punch its muzzle with my free arm but that only made it bite harder into my shoulder. I feel my body weaken from the loss of blood as my punches were getting weaker with every hit. Is this how I die? Just when I thought my life had just begun this is how it ends for me? I could never see my parents again and they won't even know that I am dead or gone from home… Is this the end?..... “NO! Get a hold of yourself! This is not where your story ends! This is only the beginning! You have just been given an adventure of a lifetime and you're just gonna give up like that!? FIGHT!” My thoughts shouted causing me to grab the timberwolf's mouth and try to lift it up from my shoulder once more. “FIGHT!” Slowly the timberwolf’s muzzle lifted from my shoulder as I pulled it away with my newfound strength as I got up from my feet. “FIGHT!” My body began to heat up as the timberwolf was now off my shoulders. To my surprise, the wounds in my shoulder were gone leaving behind smoke where they once were. I then used my other arm to hold its jaw tight and then its muzzle. The timberwolf seemed to be shocked by my sudden recovery as it tried to pull away from my grasp only to be met by resistance. “FIGHT!” The fear in my eyes was gone replaced with anger as I stared deep into the timberwolf’s eyes little fiery flames were appearing everywhere in my body. I could only grin as the timberwolf was now whimpering at me. “Your gonna regret that,” I said almost in a whisper as I ripped its jaw and muzzle apart from its face. it backed away in fear as I slowly approached it. The wood that was in my hands then burned leaving ashes behind then I held my hands together then opened them up to reveal a small fire in my left arm. The timberwolf quickly knew what I was going to do and tried to flee. “Oh where do you think you're going?!” I said releasing a small chuckle as I threw the small fire into the fleeing timberwolf and landed behind its back. The fire immediately spread around the wolf as it continued to run away and into the forest. “WHO’S NEXT?!” I shouted gesturing for them to come and attack me. The rest of the timberwolves watched the whole thing unfold and let's just say they were not happy with the results. The man continued to stare at me but instead of a blank expression, it was replaced with a small smile on his face. At least that's what I think is on his face right now. All of The timberwolves finally got out of the trees they were hiding forgetting about the man that was still watching everything and headed in my direction. These powers I had obtained were quite familiar and it took me a while to realize what they were. When I did a large smile was plastered on my face as the timberwolves surround me I then snapped my finger and sure enough, a small fireball appeared. “WATCH YOUR EYES!” I shouted squatting down and releasing the fireball into the air. It then exploded blinding the timberwolves as they crash into one another. I then took this opportunity to create a blaze to surround the timberwolves in flames with nowhere left to run. The timberwolves were bunched up together as the fire surrounded them. Then I tried to switch it up a bit and used another power I was also familiar with. As I did the flames around my body died down replaced with a windy feeling to it. I launched myself into the air dashing myself into the night sky and overlooking the timberwolves that were still surrounded by the wall of flames. There were about five timberwolves that were in the fire perfect for five knives into each of their wooden heads. Like magic, five throwing knives floated behind me ready to be used each knife hitting its target. The firewall had finally died down revealing the five timberwolves dead on the spot each having knives in their foreheads As I descend back down to the ground the man finally got up from his tree and was walking towards me. “Hmph, it looks like your not useless at all. You have proven to yourself that you can fight….Uh, what's with the look on your face?” he says confused as I still had probably the biggest smile the world has ever seen. “I HAVE FUCKING POWERS!” I shouted laying on the grass and laughing like a kid as the man continues to stare at me in disgust. What they do not notice is that they were being watched in the skies above as an alicorn stares at the both of them from below. She had seen the fight in its entirety and how she saw the creature’s power feared her the most. A race that was defeated long ago by her and her sister had returned once again with the power of magic in their hands. “Humans..” She says in disbelief as she flies back to canterlot to warn her sister of the coming storm that is brewing... Chapter 4: Abilities And Past Histories“So… you're telling me that these abilities you currently possess are from a videogame?” The man says still confused with my whole power thing. We were currently sitting by a campfire discussing about my newfound abilities and how they work. We used the timberwolves bodies to keep the fire going for the night gotta make use of the free wood somehow. “Pretty much,” I said proudly. “And…there's over 20 of these characters each having their own personal ability or tools?” “Mhmm.” “Could you give me a rundown about these character's roles and their abilities again?” He sounded stressed out and he is still confused about the whole thing. I am not really great at explaining things, to be honest, I’d rather tell the truth than try to hide it or make something out of it. “Alright, ill explain it to you again so listen closely cause this is the last time,” I said clearing my throat. “Valorant is a first-person shooter game with characters with their own tools and abilities to aid them in fights. characters also have their special skills called ultimates that are for chaos, defensive situations, or scouting areas. Each character or agent whatever you want to call it has certain roles in gameplay for each situation that happens on the battlefield and there are over 4 roles.” “Duelists - People who are on the frontlines and engage in combat first before the rest of his/her allies. They mostly use their abilities and skills to aid themselves in battles.” “What you saw when I fought the timberwolves were two characters with the same role. Phoenix and Jett.” Duelist/Phoenix: Abilities. Curveball- The user creates a flare orb that takes a curving path wherever the user throws it and detonates shortly after blinding anyone who sees the orb. Hot Hands- The user creates a fireball. Once thrown the user may decide for either the fireball to explode on impact or create a lingering fire zone that damages enemies but heals the user. Blaze- The user creates a flame wall. Upon release, a line of fire moves forward wherever the user points his/her hand the user may bend the wall in any direction his/her hand points to. After a short amount of time, a firewall is created blocking the enemy's vision and damaging anyone that enters the firewall. Like Hot hands, this also heals the user. (ULTIMATE) Run It Back- The user leaves a fire marker on the ground. Once the ability is activated dying or after a certain amount of time has passed will end the ability leaving the user at the location of the fire marker fully recovered. Duelist/Jett: Abilities. Updraft- Once active the user propels high into the air. Tailwind- The user charges a gust of wind or his/her feet. Once released the user propels in the direction he/she is moving. If standing still the user propels forward. Cloud Burst- The user throws a projectile that expands into a brief vision-blocking cloud on impact with a surface. The user may move the projectile's direction. (ULTIMATE) Blade Storm- The user equips highly accurate throwing knives. When an enemy is killed knives are recharged process repeats until all 5 knives have been used. (Passive Skill) Drift- If the user is airborne he/she may slow their fall speed and glide safely down to the ground. “Basically Phoenix has the power to control fire and Jett has the power to control the wind.” “But what if you were to accidentally burn something down? Wouldn't the fire spread like how it did to that timberwolf that fled?” He questions adding more wood to the fire. “Not likely, see I have the power to control the flames meaning I can decide whether I want to burn something down or not. So if I were to throw a fireball into a tree the fire stays but the tree will be unharmed.” I answered and he gave a nod in response gesturing me to continue. “So when there are duelists there are also controllers.” “Controllers - People who assist their team on the battlefield by providing cover, cornering enemies, and taking control of areas.” “Heh. That could be useful for us.” He said releasing a small chuckle. “Yep some have useful tools to take control of areas and some have powers to help push back enemies.” I continued creating a tactical map on my left arm and showing it to the man. “This is one of the characters that use tools in combat.” Controller/Brimstone: Abilities. Incendiary- The user equips an incendiary grenade launcher. Firing launches a grenade that detonates until it comes to rest on the floor creating a lingering fire zone that damages anyone in the flames. Sky Smoke(Unavailable)- The user equips a tactical map showing the entire area in a 50-meter radius. The user can only send up to 3 smoke clouds. Tapping the screen a yellow circle pops out on where the smoke lands. confirming the location, smoke clouds descend from the sky and crash into the designated area. Stim Beacon- The user equips a stim beacon, tossing it into the ground and upon landing the stim beacon creates a field granting the user and his allies increased movement speed. (ULTIMATE) Orbital Strike(Unavailable)- Using the tactical map and selecting a location, the user may release a powerful lingering orbital strike laser at the selected location, dealing high damage over time to enemies that are caught in the location and destroying anything in the zone of the orbital strike. As expected the man's eyes widened and his jaw dropped after hearing the ultimate I mean who wouldn't? So much damage can be made with a push of a button killing anything that is caught in the zone of the strike. “This is Excellent! Equestria will surely fall if you have an ability like that!” He said laughing like a fucking villain in a Disney movie. Why would he want to take over equestria? welp, time to give him the bad news. “Sadly I cannot access it.” I said preparing for the worse. “What?!” He shouted standing up from his seat.“Why not?!” “ Because I need a satellite to even use the tactical map without it it just leaves the thing static meaning it will be useless. The same goes for sky smoke.” “Then why even bring it up then?” “I……don't know.” I said releasing a slight chuckle while rubbing the back of my head. The man releases a loud groan and sits back down but gestures for me to continue.”Alright, so now that that's out of the way there are also agents who use their powers to help control areas as well.” Controller/Omen: Abilities. Paranoia- The user launches a shadow projectile forward, anyone who is hit by the projectile briefly reduces their vision. This ability can pass through walls. Dark Cover- The user channels a shadow orb and is able to see through walls when the ability is active, the user may control the shadow orbs direction in which the shadow sphere lands. Releasing the shadow orb creates a long-lasting shadow sphere that blocks vision in the designated location. Shrouded Step- The user channels a shadow walk ability that lets him/her teleport a few feet away from his/her previous location. (ULTIMATE) From The Shadows- The user uses all of his power and strength to teleport anywhere wherever he/she pleases. The user appears as a shade at first that can be destroyed by anyone that is waiting on the other side. Once the shade is destroyed the ability is canceled. “This agent would be useful if I were to be stuck in sticky situations or if I want myself to be hidden from enemies. His ultimate is also helpful for fast travel but I would need to use all my strength on doing so.” I said as I channeled a shadow orb in my hands. I looked over to see the man mentally taking notes as he stares at the ground with his hand on his chin. “Hey, you still listening?” I said hoping to get his attention. He gave a slight nod while rubbing his chin then he started coughing. This guy is really weird how come does he not know about video games? Besides the first question how did he even get into this world anyway? And why does he look so messed up? The dude smells like a rotting corpse like he hasn't showered for years. Has he even visited any of the pony villages for help or at least interacted with any of the ponies? These questions are going to have to come later after I discuss my abilities. If I were to cooperate with this guy I got to at least know his name. “Alright, now that I explained to you about controllers there are also their counterpart initiators.” “Initiators - similar to controllers but instead of controlling areas they help their allies drive the enemies back and enter the area safely. They also help duelists to get easy kills.” This is also my favorite role when it comes to gameplay because of one character that I loved too much playing. I then swiftly change my powers to my favorite agent Skye. Now when it comes to changing abilities it also comes to changes in appearance and when I switched to Skye my clothing was all green colored between light and dark green and trinkets of different animals were strapped around my waist. “This is my favorite character to play in the game,” I said smiling as I began to showcase what they can do. Initiator/Skye: Abilities. Trailblazer- The user equips a Tasmanian tiger trinket, Once used gain control of the Tasmanian tiger. enemies that are attacked by the tiger, the tiger explodes releasing a concussive blast onto the enemy it had attacked.

Regrowth- the user equips a healing trinket, and the user channels this ability to heal nearby allies. Can be re-used until the healing pool is depleted. The user cannot heal him/herself when used. (ULTIMATE) Seekers- the user equips a seeking trinket, and the user must channel which victim or species must the seekers hunt. Once released the seekers hunt for the species/victims around the area. Once the seeker reaches its target the seeker then explodes near sighting the enemy whilst slowing their movement speed. Can be summoned by up to 10 seekers. (depending on how many are in the area.) “So this guy’s ability is to control creatures that came out of wooden trinkets?” “Girl actually and yep that's basically her ability.” I then summoned the Tasmanian tiger and showed it to the man. “ain't she a beauty?” I said while scratching the tiger's head. this is so awesome I can't believe I actually have these powers. I then returned the tiger back to her talisman before switching to the next initiator. This time I was wearing a blue cloth and I had a metal plate on my right arm with a face of an owl. A bow is strapped in my back and to top it all off my right eye color was changed to a bright blue color. When my transformation was complete I hear the man speak up. “Do you feel any slight pain when you want to switch different abilities?” He questioned whiles taking a little cough out from his throat. You know it kinda actually does hurt a bit when I want to switch to different abilities. It is also very tiring when I want to switch to a different character just to use his/her abilities. I didn't even realize that I was sweating hard and was breathing through my mouth its either the coat that was given to me or that I'm actually tired of switching abilities constantly just to showcase this guy what they can do. “Yep, it does but only a little bit,” I said honestly which he gave a nod in response.

Upon firing releases an energy blast in a line in front of the user, dealing massive damage and revealing enemies caught in the line. “Hmmph his abilities could really be useful if we were to enter dangerous territory. We could scout the area before making any decisions we might regret.” He said releasing yet another cough this time louder. “You tell me,” I said while firing a recon bolt into the forest. Nothing was detected by the bolt Hopefully those Timberwolves aren't going to be troubling us for a while. “Usually it scans anything that's around the bolt revealing a bright yellowish light of any creature it scans and releasing a sound that goes-” just then a ding was heard from where I shot the bolt. We both looked in the direction where the sound was heard preparing for another attack from the timberwolves. Luckily the bolt only revealed a family of rabbits strolling around the forest. “Like that.” I continued and the man coughs yet again. Is he sick or something? “Hey, you alright you have been coughing a lot lately.” I said. “I'm fine.” He said his voice rigid while clearing his throat “Just finish explaining your abilities.” Now as a nurse, I know that he is coming down with something but if he wants to be left alone ill leave him be….for now. “Now finally we have the ones that hold down the fort sentinels.” “Sentinels- The defensive experts who can lockdown areas and watch for any ambushes. The most crucial role ever.” “Most crucial you say?” “Trust me…they are a pain in the ass sometimes,” I said with a bit of disgust in my voice. Sentinel/Sage: Abilities.

(ULTIMATE) Resurrection- The user may resurrect a dead being back to life. Requires a lot of focus, patients, and strength from the user to channel the spell correctly. “Resurrection you say? It is impossible to even do that spell here. it takes a master magic artist with a lot of magic power to even bring someone back to life and they would still have a hard time performing it. And you can simply cast it yourself?” “Hey, I didn't say it was simple. just requires a lot of focus and willpower for it to work. Other than that I can perform it. Now stop talking I'm almost done explaining.” Sentinel/Killjoy: Abilities. Alarmbot- The user summons a covert alarm bot from his/her holster, The alarmbot stays hidden until it detects a living being in its range.

Once the wind-up is finished all enemies inside the radius will be detained for a period of time. If the device is destroyed the lockdown is canceled. “And that's about it,” I said returning back to my normal clothing and releasing a long breath of fresh air before continuing. “you got any of that?” “Yes I have but I do have one question. Didn't you say that there were over 20 of these characters? Why have you only shown 8 of them?” He asked coughing. “Well, first of all, I'm still getting used to these abilities and I'm already losing my breath by just telling you 8 of them and second my memory is a bit fuzzy at the moment and I can't really remember the rest of the characters well so give me some time to think.” I answered back. For the first time in my life, I had lied to this guy and oh my god I'm glad he bought it. My second reason was a lie I know the rest of the agent's abilities from the back of my head. I just didn't want to tell them because they would bring even chaos to this world which I didn't want. Plus this guy is already shady enough. He's clearly a villain but why is he a villain? Welp, I guess it's my turn to ask some questions. “Well, it's about time we get some rest. We got lots of things to do tomorrow” He said getting up from his seat and stretching. “Now hold on a second if I were to help you, you have to let me ask some questions that need answering” I said standing up and walking towards him. He used his menacing stare at me again when I first got here but I wasn't afraid of it anymore so I gave him a stare of my own. If he intends to hurt any of the ponies then he's got another thing coming. We continued to stare at each other for what felt like an eternity with only the cracks of the fire being heard until he stopped letting out a sigh. “What do you want to know?” he finally asked sitting back down but not before releasing a cough. “First of all I'm not just gonna call you dude all the time so got a name?” I asked the obvious first. “I guess its only fair names Alex,” he said bringing up his hand. “Alex Hayes.” “Justin Hermandez.” I said holding his hand and shaking it and then continued.”How long have you been in Equestria? “I don't know…I lost track a while ago so I guess 1000 years or so,” Alex answered with another cough. “What 1000 years?! How in the world have you lived that long?!” “The powers that I wield now are what keep me alive,” he said releasing a small cloud from his hand. “A certain….pony taught me this power to use dark magic and I've been using them to slow me from aging hence why I look young.” “But you look pale.” “But still young.” “Ok, so last question why take over equestria? And why bring me along?” Now I asked the real question and he gritted his teeth when he heard my question but manage to keep his cool. before speaking. “If you must know their ruler took everything from me. I wasn't the only one that was in equestria I had a family there were multiple of us living in a quiet village along with the ponies. We trusted them and they trusted us everything was well but one night we were attacked by the ponies. We fought back until their ruler of the sun came along with her sister of the night she had killed all of us along with her sister. SHE KILLED MY FAMILY! MY FRIENDS! EVERY SINGLE HUMAN BEING IN THAT VILLAGE!” Alex shouted causing me to back up a bit. then he released a heavy cough this time blood came out of it. Then he continued. “...Except me.” He finished as he punched the ground causing it to crack a bit. “Celestia is a murderer and she will pay for everything and that includes everypony that lives. I won't stop until equestria falls beneath my feet and every single creature will kneel down to me.” What in the world was I supposed to do at this point? he had a good point for why he was even like this. Also, Celestia did this to him?! Celestia was called many things but I don't think a murderer is one of them. But I can't side with him either he would kill many innocent ponies that probably don't even know of his existence considering it had happened 1000 years ago and even if they did they would be incredibly shocked to see a creature that was supposed to be extinct. But why did the ponies even attack his village? Didn't they trust each other? Gah! This is just leaving me with more questions! “This is giving me a headache.” I thought to myself but then Alex spoke up again. “Of course, I can't do this alone. I needed someone to help me take over this world. and that someone is you.” Alex said pointing a finger at me. “What would you have me do?” I asked shivering a bit I did not like where this was going. not one bit. “During my 1000 years of hiding from the ponies and training dark magic, there was news that Celestia had lost her sister. something about her sister taking some evil form called nightmare moon and took over the throne. She then banished her sister to the moon using the power of the elements of harmony. But now just a few months ago the princess of the night had returned and was brought back to her original form thanks to the new 6 elemental bearers of the elements of harmony.” He said with an evil smile coming from his face.” If the elements of harmony were that powerful to banish the princess of the night to the moon then it won't do any good for us. Our job is to find these 6 new elemental bearers and kill them!” He said grinning like a madman. “Shit, he’s talking about the mane 6. thank god he does not know who they are.” “Once we deal with them we head towards canterlot and fight the two rulers and then-” Alex then coughed again releasing more blood out of his mouth. “Ah shit.” “Hey your coughing blood you sure you're alright?” I asked. “It's fine, it's just that when I summoned you into this world it took a lot of magic out of me and I'm going to have to need my books to retrieve my magic back. But until then I'm sorry for what I'm about to do.” Alex said apologetically. “What do you mea-” Just then Alex's human form was gone turning into a dark mist that charged right at me giving me little time to react. The next thing I knew is that as the dark mist collided with my body my vision was fading in and out and I fell to the ground unconscious. I woke up the next morning with a big headache. I slowly got up rubbing the back of my head Everything was still the same the fire was long gone but the thing was that now Alex was nowhere to be seen. “Strange…where did he go?” I thought to myself. just then a voice spoke up in my own head causing me to jump a little. “Looking for me?” The voice replied. “WHAT THE FU-... wait Alex is that you?” “Hahaha sorry for scaring ya there. I’d take you haven't experienced this before?” Alex asked genuinely. This is so fucking weird just having him in my head.” “No I haven't…wait if you are in my head does that mean you can read my memories? If you do please don't look into them.” I begged. “Relax I'll leave you and your memories be that would be a waste of magic anyway.” he replied. “Why are you in my head?” “Taking on that human form was also wasting a bit of my dark magic so I turned myself into a mist so that I could save up my powers. And even in my mist form I would still be draining dark magic so I transferred myself into your body instead. otherwise, I would have died right there on the spot.but enough talking we got things that need doing but first, we need my books.” “Where are we going?” I asked as I started to walk away from the little campsite we had made last night. “Head towards the abandoned castle of the two sisters.that is where I was hiding after the elemental bearers returned princess luna to her former self.” “I’d take it princess luna is the ruler of the night?” I asked. Might as well play around a bit. “Indeed, it's somewhere north of here let's get going.” Just then my stomach started growling breaking the long silence. “I could go for something to eat right about now.” I said out loud rubbing my stomach. “You can do that later, right now we need to get my books.” “You can never go traveling with an empty stomach,” I answered back. “What in the fuck.” Alex replied but I didn't pay attention to him. just then I spotted a large field filled with apple trees everywhere as far as my eyes could see. I also spotted a barn meaning that this was an orchard. “Oh look apples.” I said smiling as I continued walking straight towards the apple orchard with a slight headache. Author's Note Hello everyone back at it again with another chapter sorry for the lack of ponies for the past 3 chapters but do not worry the next 2 chapters you will have your ponies until then see yall in the next chapter. More information about the rest of the agents is here: https://playvalorant.com/en-sg/agents/ Chapter 5: Apple Heist“This is ridiculous, we are heading into a farmland possibly filled with our enemies just to get some fucking apples!” Alex continued to argue in my head. I was nearing out of the everfree forest and heading towards the apple orchard that I had spotted to get some apples to survive on hunger and Alex had been giving me constant headaches none stop. But my real intentions were to actually delay Alex’s plans on ruling over equestria as long as I could. I have to find out what really happened during Alex’s story… or if it really happened at all. I still don’t trust Alex 100% but his story felt real for him to burst into anger like that. I'll have to hear it from Celestia's side of the story but first ill have to establish peace with these ponies and show them that I didn't mean harm. I just hope that the history of Alex’s village being attacked wasn't recorded….Oh, who am I kidding of course it was recorded. “Ugh, this is going to be harder than I thought.” I thought to myself as I rubbed the back of my head from the pain. “Like I said this is ridiculous. If you think it's so hard why are you even doing this then?” Alex asked with harshness in his voice. Realizing I had been caught I quickly responded. “Uh-um...I mean it's going to be hard to survive without food you know? Don't you need to eat?” “ Don't need to, eating is the least of my concern. All I need are my books.” Alex responded back. the headache was gone much to my relief and we were now nearly approaching the apple orchard. I can't believe I almost got myself caught. There goes soliloquizing myself I guess ill have to leave with my thinking to leave my thoughts to. We were out of the everfree forest as I covered my eyes with my hand from the bright early morning sun rising from the skies. Day 1 of officially being in equestria has begun. Rubbing my eyes I looked up to see many apple trees, the barn was out of view meaning that this place must be huge.” Our goal is to find a basket of apples and get out as soon as possible.” I said to Alexbut here came the first obstacle of my mission. There was a dirt road between the apple orchard and the everfree forest along with a white fence railing over the apple farm. It was an open clearing leaving me with no place to hide. I'll have to run out of the everfree, hop into the fence and find an apple basket all the while without being caught by anypony around the area. It was relatively early in the morning so these pony farmers might have already been on the field harvesting. Just then the headache had returned and so was Alex’s protest. “Ok, there is no way you are doing this just to get some apples. You're not risking revealing yourself to the ponies just for some fucking apples are you Justin? Fucking apples might I remind you. Alex continued to protest. It was risky, I knew this farm was being runned by Applejack and her family but this farm was huge. what if she had help? That's when I remembered a certain tool that could scout the area for us. I then switched to Sova and was preparing to release the owl drone raising my arm up where the drone was currently holstered. “Nope, but might as well scout the area for any ponies around.” And with that the owl drone was released from my arm and was now hovering in the air. I then place my right arm next to my right eye a beeping noise was heard as I begin seeing through the owl drone’s eyes.” Fascinating, are we this drone right now?” Alex asked curiously. “Not exactly, we are just seeing it from its point of view,” I replied back. “Sending the drone in now.” I said to myself aloud as the owl drone began to turn and head straight toward the apple orchard. The drone itself was moving at a decent speed much to its speed in the actual game which was slow as hell. I was flying on top of the trees making sure no pony spots the drone coming towards them and freak out. It wasn't long till I finally spotted the farm ponies and oh my god… If Alex weren't in my head right now I would be screaming with joy and glee. I lowered the owl drone down to the tree branches to get a proper view of the ponies. I don't know why these ponies are so fucking cute that I could literally die just by looking at them for too long. There were mare's and stallions all over the place harvesting. Trees were shaking everywhere around the owl drone from the powerful kicks from the farmer ponies. All of the apples fell perfectly landing into the buckets down below. They were all happy pony farmers that loved what they were doing and I couldn't help but smile. How could these ponies be responsible for the extinction of humans in this world? Surely something else might have attacked them that night. “Stop staring at our enemies and get those fucking apples already! We don't get all day!” Alex shouted causing me to lose control of the owl drone a bit from the sudden headache. The owl drone slammed into an apple tree with a loud thud before I managed to take control of it before it could hit the ground. Immediately when I saw all of the pony's ears perk up I flew the drone back up into the trees while their backs were turned. I could see the pony's heads turning frantically trying to find where that sudden noise had come from. “A’hm not the only one who heard that right?” The stallion spoke up. “It probably just sum Lil critters wandering around nothing ta worry about.” The mare replied as they started grabbing their baskets of apples and walking away. “Alex could you please stop giving me a fucking headache?! Literally!” I yelled at him…no pun intended. “You should be thanking me! You were clearly gawking at those farm ponies and I had to snap you out of it! Have you not listened to my tale of what these ponies did to our race?!” Alex continued to shout in my head the headache was unbearable and it felt like I got shot in the head by a bullet. “OK! Ok just stop already.” I shouted out loud. “It's just that I've never seen these creatures before you know? They are all so different compared to the ones that I had in my world…So much life.” I said as I see the farm ponies leave with the basket of apples on their backs. “Remember your purpose Justin, You are here to help me take over this world do not be blinded by the pony's kindness…. For they might just stab you in the back one day.” Alex said the last part quietly but enough for me to hear. probably saying that to himself as a reminder of how the ponies betrayed him the headache was finally gone but the pain was still there. “Understood.” I said releasing a heavy sigh as I continued to control the owl drone and follow the farm ponies from a safe distance. They were all talking to one another but I couldn't tell what they were saying as long as they were distracted. I have to somehow get Alex off of my head and lose him he’ll keep watching my every move and one wrong mistake could possibly lead me to my death. For now, ill play along and wait for the opportunity to come. After a few minutes, the farm ponies finally stopped and were now placing their baskets of apples on a wagon that is also filled with apples. The farm ponies shortly left after that continuing their work of harvesting. No pony was guarding the wagon it was just they're sitting idly by on the dirt road just waiting to be filled. “Steal the wagon.” “Wha-what did you say?” “Steal the wagon.” He repeated much to my dismay. “What?! No, I'm not gonna steal that wagon.” “You said you wanted apples right? Well here they are! that wagon of apples could last you for days without hunger.” “But that's stealing!” “Why the fuck do you care? It's just apples that they harvested for us to steal.” “...” “...” “Fine.” “Finally we have agreed on something.” As much as I wanted to protest not stealing the wagon I didn't want Alex to raise suspicion about me this early on. I placed the owl drone resting in a tree branch before disconnecting the drone as I prepare myself to head toward the wagon using the everfree forest as cover. After about 5 to 7 minutes of running the wagon was in view this time it appeared to be almost full of apples. I darted around the area and I spotted the owl drone still sitting tightly on the tree branch. There were only a bit of farm ponies around but they weren't entirely close to the wagon much to my relief. Now how was I going to move this wagon filled with apples? it will be heavy considering how many they were. I experienced this back home when I took a 4-day vacation at my parent's house and they worked me to the bone one of which I had to carry loads and loads of apples which I had a slow pace on doing so. But those were just sacks of apples imagine if I were to move that wagon on my own! I'll just have to pray that these powers had also improved my strength. I was already readying myself to sprint toward the wagon and get out as soon as I could when Alex suddenly shouted in my mind. “STOP!” Alex shouted causing me to trip a bit from my running stance. “What? What is it?” I asked as I stood up from my recent fall. “Get down you idiot there is a fucking pony coming!” Hearing this I immediately ducked into the bushes and was now in a crouching position. Great right when I was just about ready to get this done there had to be somepony to stop me from doing so. I could hear the sound of hooves clopping into the ground and had stopped shortly after this pony must be next to the wagon. Then I heard rapid noises coming from my right ear growing louder and louder until it had stopped as well. Then as I feared a familiar voice came from a filly that I knew all too well who it was. “Applejack! Applejack!” The filly shouted with concern in her voice causing me to flinch even more to who she was talking to. “What is it sugarcube?” Applejack asked as the filly took heavy breaths from running. I peeked my head out to have a proper view of what was happening right in front of me. There she was. Applejack right in front of me. The element of honesty looked down at her sister who was sweating and had her head down still exhausted from her run. Once she gathered enough air she spoke up looking at her sister. “What are the royal guards doin here in ponyville? I was supposed to meet up with the girls today until one of the royal guards told me to go back home saying it's not safe to be playing around.” Applebloom says in confusion hoping to find the answers from her sister. Now, why was ponyville filled with royal guards? That was something Alex and I wanted to know as we both listened carefully to the conversation. The sudden increase of security in that village meant that something big was going on… And I had a good feeling why. “I'm sorry that you weren't able to see yer friends applebloom but that guard was right. It's not safe to be playin' around right now.” Applejack said in an apologetic tone before continuing. “Something happened last night in the everfree forest. A loud explosion woke up the entire town. Luna said that everything was going to be alright and said she was going to check the sudden explosion in the everfree forest. We didn't get any news from luna after that until today when Celestia sent her royal guards here just in case any danger comes runnin' from that forest.” Applejack finally finished as she turns to check up on the apples in the wagon. “Do you know who could have caused that explosion?” Applebloom was still searching for answers only for applejack to shake her head. “That's the thing, we don't know what or who caused that explosion last night. Luna didn't come back to tell us what had happened. Somethings not right about all this.” Applejack said having questions of her own. There it was, I didn't know that my arrival to this world would be that loud to wake up an entire village. But then again, This is starting to feel like one of those displaced human stories in fimfiction. It always starts with the human being teleported in the everfree then timberwolves come around and try to kill him. In the end, the human befriends the ponies and eventually goes back to his world after defeating the main villain and saving equestria. I hope the same case goes for me here and as much as I loved being here. I would rather go back home and see my family again. I will see them again. “One more basket should do it!” I hear applejack shout to the other farm ponies. We were running out of time and I had to act as soon as possible. Then once again, the headache returned. “We were being watched this entire time! While you were fighting those wolves the fucking princess of the night must have been observing you from above! It won't take long until word spreads around equestria about our existence! Alex shouted again. That is where I snapped. I have had enough of Alex’s constant shouting and headaches towards me. “Maybe, if you weren't just leaning against that tree and had done absolutely nothing you would have actually known about luna’s presence that night and had tried to stop her!” I shouted back I didn't care what would happen to me. I was still mad about that night when Alex just sat by and watched me fight the timberwolves and if I didn't discover my abilities I could have died. “It was to prove that you were not a useless piece of shit and that was the only way to know of your powers!” “Only way? Hah! That's funny, there could have been multiple ways to discover my abilities you know that might have been least harmful than last night!” “You expect me to actually go easy on you? If I didn't summon you I could just fucking kill you in a matter of seconds.” “Wanna bet?” I challenged causing the headache to hurt even more. “You actually think you have a chance against me?! If I weren't in this state right now I would have accepted your feeble request. But that will have to wait. Once I have my magic back I’ll show you what I'm really capable of.” Just then we heard the filly speak up again causing us to stop our little argument and focus back on the two ponies before us. “Does Celestia know about all this?” applejack could only turn to applebloom and by the look on her face she seems hesitant to answer. “I'm not sure, but I was called from twilight and the rest of mah friends that she got news from the princess last night saying to be prepared for what is to come out of that forest and that we shouldn't share this message to anypony but only us six and the royal guards. If we were to encounter anything out of that forest we are to use the elements of harmony and bring the two creatures to canterlot once we have them.” Applejack replied back before continuing. “She also told us that they wield magic and might use them against us if we were to be hostile to them or they would be hostile to us. If they do…well let's just say it won't be good. I just hope that we can somehow make peace with these creatures so that things won't go out of hoof.” “I'm sure you can do it, sis! After all, you are the element of honesty, and if they ever want to make peace with you and the others. You would know right away!” Applebloon cheered for her sister causing her to smile a bit. “I sure hope so, but for now mind keepin this ah secret for me. I'm not supposed to share this with anypony.” Applejack whispered to applebloom. “Don't worry sis your secrets safe with me.” Applebloom said zipping her lip with her hoof to which applejack laughed as they hugged each other. Applejack, that's it! If I were to show these ponies that I didn't mean any harm and they wouldn't believe me she would! I have to stroll around ponyville and... Well, surrender to the royal guards there. that way I would be escorted to canterlot with Alex and meet the two princesses! Maybe they could even help me find my way back home! This was perfect! “Justin… Burn her.” I hear alex say with venom in his voice. “What?! Why?!” “Didint you hear?! She's an elemental bearer! This is our chance to murder these bearers! That way the elements shall be useless!” “But-But…I~” “Fucking burn her NOW!!!” Alex screamed into my head. As I'm about to make a decision I am about to make. I held both of my arms together creating the fireball once again. I then stood up from my hiding spot and was ready to throw the fireball at applejack and applebloom. They didn't seem to notice me as they were still hugging. I was shaking I didn't know what to do. Do I kill them? Or Do I betray Alex?.. The choice was obviously clear and I knew I shouldn't have done it when I first encountered Alex. I threw the fireball as far as I could missing both applejack and applebloom. The fireball hit an apple tree as it ignited in flames rather quickly causing the farm ponies to panic. Both applejack and applebloom stopped their embrace as applejack and the rest of the farm ponies quickly acted, finding any water nearby and tossing it into the raging flames. “How in the hell did you miss that?!” Alex yelled but I ignored him entirely. As I took a running stance and electricity started to circulate around me then I took off towards the wagon. I quickly grabbed both handles of the wagon and started sprinting towards the everfree forest with the help of the High Gear ability. Applebloom saw the wagon suddenly move but wasn't able to see the one who was pulling it. “Applejack! The wagon!” Applebloom shouted to her sister. As applejack turned her head the wagon was already gone as it heads into the everfree forest. “Horse apples! We've been robbed! Applejack shouted in anger. “Uhm applejack you might wanna take a look at this!” One of the farm ponies shouted causing applejack to turn her attention to the tree. There, many farm ponies stood in place. they were shocked to see what was right in front of them. Applejack pushed herself from the little crowd to see what they were looking at which also made her shocked as well. The tree that was hit by the sudden fire turned out to be fine as no burnt marks were found and all the leaves were still in place. That fire covered the entire tree and here it was still in one piece. “Applejack look at these hoofprints!” Applebloom shouted. Once Applejack had reached her sister she looked down to the dirt road to see hoofprints on the ground. But the thing was these were not hoofprints at all, these were prints applejack had not seen before, and they only appeared to be two of them instead of four. She looked into the everfree forest trying to put the puzzles together. Could it be? Applebloom seemed to have the same idea as her sister as she looked up towards applejack. “Do you think these prints are from the…..creature?” Applebloom was terrified that the creature of the everfree had been near them this entire time. Applejack turned to her sister with a serious look on her face. “Twilight needs to know about this.” Ability discovered: Duelist/Neon: High Gear- The user channels the power of electricity for increased speed. When the ability is charged, the user triggers an electric slide causing the user to slide on the ground whilst still moving forward.
Chapter 1: The AceAuthor's Note Before you start reading I would prefer you guys find the breeze map in google just to get an insight into what the map looks like and the locations alright enjoy and peace! Chapter 1: The Ace “Can someone come help me push mid?” one of my teammates says. It was a sunny day here in the Philippines as I sit in my room playing my favorite game valorant. We were on breeze a map which I hate a lot due to my poor aiming skills but they weren't too bad either. It was 12 to 12 in an unrated game one more win to victory. We were on attackers and the enemy team was the defenders currently I was pushing mid along with another player. We were trying to make a fake B push so that A site would be secured. “Sova get ready.” He said again as he peeks through the boxes we were hiding. Mid was clear much to his surprise. I was currently playing Phoenix the one commanding us and carrying the spike(aka the bomb) was playing Jett and the player next to me was playing Omen preparing to smoke on command. “Sova fire your recon dart now omen smoke B tunnel.” He says as on command I see from the distance a dart shoot from the sky and land into b site. A perfect lineup revealing an unlucky sage that was hiding near the entrance of b main. Omen then proceeds to smoke B tunnel as we slowly got out of our hiding place heading towards the wooden doors that lead to the A site. “You think they took the bait?” Sova says over the mic. Just then we heard footsteps coming from the top of mid wooden doors then we heard the metal door open from A switch. “Looks like they just did.” Jett says with a bit of joy in his voice. We proceed to release our knives because everyone knows you can run faster with a knife even when you are walking. We then pushed our backs against the door as I looked over mid again. Omens smoke was still covering b tunnel but now there was an enemy brimstone in mid nest watching B elbow with his Op he then proceeds to scan the entire mid area and I manage to hide before he could spot me. “Sage is A site clear?” Jett speaks again breaking the intense silence. Sage was in A shop and was about to peek at the entrance of A site. Unfortunately, no enemies were on A site aside from the metal door on A switch which was still wide open. “A is clear.” Sage says on the mic giving us the green light. “Got it,Sova get your ass over here.” Jett says as he and Omen were rushing to the door. I peeked one last time to find omen’s smoke gone and brim was hiding behind the boxes on mid top facing his Op towards the tunnel. It won't be long until they realize what we were up to. To my horror, I suddenly heard two shotgun shots coming from the wooden doors. “Sage what the hell?! You said it was clear!” Jett shouted into the mic. I turned my head to find Jett and omen dead on the floor with the spike dropped. Apparently sage checked all of A site except the wooden doors. The enemy had his back against the wall just enough to not be noticed by sage. It was a 3v5 now. Realizing our cover had been blown I had to act fast. I then ran out of my hiding place and proceeded to fire my gun at brimstone, luck must have been on my side today because before brimstone could even act he was immediately taken out by a bullet to the head. Sage quickly ran to the wooden doors and proceeded to rain hell upon the enemy Yoru who was hiding on the closed side of the wooden door. Sadly sage was able to hit him a lot but ran out of bullets before she could kill him. The enemy Yoru took this advantage to take the vandal from the dead Jett while sage was reloading. “Shit! Yoru is Lit!” Sage shouted as she tried to run away from Yoru. I quickly turned my head towards the door and immediately spotted Yoru grabbing the gun from Jett's corpse I then proceed to fire burst shots at Yoru finishing him off. 3v3 now. I was still out in the open until I was getting fired from both the enemy sage who had a bulldog with her and an enemy killjoy who had a phantom. panicking, I quickly set my camera face down and used my curveball ability to blind both sage and killjoy. luckily I haven't blinded myself but the two enemies still fired at me and even managed to hit me twice leaving me with 80 of my health if not thanks to my heavy armor. Sova was still rotating to A site in fact in the corner of my eye I saw him at our spawn point with his knife out running towards A lobby before focusing my view on the wooden door. I quickly grabbed the spike and entered A site sprinting. Sage then used a barrier orb blocking any enemies from entering through the wooden doors. As I begin planting the spike Sova finally arrives. “Sorry I'm late,” he says in a joking manner. “Focus Sova and help me out here!” Sage says pointing her rifle at A bridge. As sova pushes forward further into A site the spike had finally been planted on A pyramid now we just needed to hold out for the remainder of the time left. Me and sage were hiding on A pyramid while Sova was hiding next to a big yellow crate just ahead of us. “Just play it slow guys,” I finally spoke up. “It's a 3v3 we got this.” as if in queue we all heard the familiar “YOU WILL NOT KILL MY ALLIES!” from the enemy sage as she revives the enemy brimstone I had killed. “Putang ina.” I said to myself as we now had to deal with a sniper as well. first, the metal door from A switch was still open meaning that we have to guard two entrances at once and now we have to deal with their top fragger. “Sova close the metal door!” Sage shouted. Sova then approached A switch and quickly shut the metal door before returning to his hiding spot. As he did bullets started to rain on A bridge signaling the enemy's arrival. Sova's recon dart had finally finished its cooldown and he 1 bounced it to hit the wall next to the bridge. The enemies took notice of this and quickly shot the dart but not before It could scan them. There were 3 enemies on the bridge with 1 being unknown. The enemy brimstone was now putting smoke on top of the crate where Sova was and one covering sage’s vision of the bridge. I was backing Sova up in case he were to get traded or surrounded by the enemy. Just then a stim beacon was thrown out of the smoke and both Killjoy and Sage popped out of the smoke. Sova fired his gun at the enemy sage which she responds with a burst shot into Sova’s head killing him instantly. Killjoy quickly rushes in my direction throwing a swarm grenade at me just before she triggered her grenade I got out of the way and sprayed my gun killing her. Both of the Sage’s were fighting each other but hiding behind the same pyramid pillar I turned to face the enemy sage and she suffered the same fate but not before firing back at me leaving me with 45 health left. But that didn't bother me because Phoenix just by the name can heal himself by his own flames. I then use hot hand to create a fireball and tossed it to the ground to heal myself. 2 v 2 now. Time was running as the spike started to tick faster which was good for us but not for them we just had to hold out a little longer. Just then as I turn around to reload I spotted a yellow light on the wall next to the entrance of A site. Then I knew who it was. I turned my camera away from the yellow light as it exploded, fortunately blinding sage as my vision returned the enemy breach quickly got out and started attacking sage she was getting rained by bullets but luckily I managed to save her by putting two bullets into the breaches head with my ghost. 2 v 1 we had a chance. But that didn't last long as sage was now out of her hiding spot giving brimstone a kill of his own. The bomb was still ticking and brim had to act fast I just didn't have to mess up. The enemy Brimstone quickly ran out of A bridge and grabbed a phantom from the dead Killjoy and sprayed towards my direction which only made me smile as I knew it was already over. The bomb was already ticking like crazy as it was about to explode and the enemy brimstone seemed like he didn't want me to have this ace. but he made his move and it was already too late for him. As I turn out of my hiding spot and sprayed the remaining bullets.at him. with the familiar ace ring from the game and the cheers from my teammates it was over. “ATTACKERS WIN” the announcer shouted. “LEETS GOOOOO!” Sova shouted into the microphone. “SHEEEEEEESH!” Omen begins. “Your better, holy shit your better.” Jett started still shocked at what happened. “Gg’s Everyone! well played phoenix!” Sage finally said with a cheery tone in her voice. And just like that everything went silent. I was back at the main menu but a smile was still on my face. This…. This is why I love this game. The rush of excitement coming from your body, The callouts and commands, and the hype that is given by your teammates. It all felt amazing sure it also applies to every other fps game but for valorant it's something else I guess it's just how I loved the characters so much and their roles in the world of valorant not to mention that they even have unique voice lines on different situations. when we are losing they encourage us to keep fighting and focus when we are winning they taunt the enemy team saying how bad they are giving us even more courage to win it's just wow. I hope this game never dies and it won't be anytime soon as it was relatively new. I finally got up from my chair and turned off my pc to give it some rest after spending nearly 2 hours playing the game and headed toward the bathroom. I checked the clock hanging from my wall It was 8:00 in the morning the day had just begun. Somewhere in the Everfree forest: A mysterious shadowed mist wanders around the Everfree forest carrying what appears to be an old summoning book. The mist itself was dark but with red eyes coming out of it, it traveled around the forest for a while until it reached a clearing. Satisfied the entity drops the book onto the grass then suddenly the mist surrounding the entity faded leaving a man figure standing with the darkness of mist still covering him. “Finally I have found it after all these years,” It said with a deep tone in its voice. “ Equestria will pay for what they had done to me! Especially you Celestia.” He said the last part with a low growl. He then began to open the book as he focuses his powers onto his hand releasing a dark aura. “Book of old bring forth the race that was lost long ago and give him the powers of the things he loved the most.” The dark aura from his hand started to grow bigger and the book slowly levitating from the ground “HUMAN I SUMMON YOU!” He shouted closing his eyes and releasing all of his power into the book which exploded with a loud bang that is sure to be heard by anyone or in this case anypony around the vicinity. Smoke was covering both the entity and the book. He slowly approaches too where the book once was only to find the remains of it. The pages were all burnt and shredded into pieces. he proceeded to push even further into the smoke past the burnt book. As the smoke finally clears off he could see something large on the ground and began to walk toward it. He thought that he had summoned a powerful warrior or some shadowed demon like himself but to his disappointment, it was just a regular human unconscious on the grass. He sighed in defeat trying to figure out what went wrong when he cast that spell. Just then the human finally woke up pushing his face off the grass and was now laying on his back only then he realized the figure standing before him with his hand on his face. He quickly stood up and pushed himself away from the tall figure because of the poor lighting he couldn't see him well only stopping when he hit his head against a tree.That was when the figure finally took notice and looked directly at the panicking human with his red menacing eyes. Who are you?! He shouted at the figure.
Chapter 2: Meet The FigureSomething has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.
Chapter 3: Enemies In The Dark“Damn me and my big mouth!” I thought to myself as I stand in the middle of the forest clearing waiting for my imminent death as these timberwolves surround me and were ready to eat me up to shreds. They seem to be taking their time as they circle me and the man but keeping themselves hidden in the trees. The man, figure, whatever he is was somewhat relaxed about what was happening right now. Actually, his face is rather expressionless as he continues to stare at me waiting for me to do something. “Dude, how are you so calm about all this?! We gotta find a way out of here!” I said clearly the fear shown in my voice but I tried to keep my face calm as I looked around for any possible escape routes or any openings at all. “I summoned you here for a reason. I want to see why the old book chose you instead of anyone else more powerful.” He said plainly and continued to look at me not even bothering the wolves around him. “What?! What you expect me to have some…” I stopped noticing the timberwolf that was about the pounce behind him. “LOOK OUT!” I said pointing toward the wolf’s location. He didn't bother to look where the wolf was but simply raised his open hand in the wolf’s direction. Then I saw a black aura surrounding his hand as the wolf finally got out of its hiding spot and jumped straight toward him. Just then the wolf was enveloped by the dark aura floating in the air but that didn't stop it from biting and barking at him. In a blink of an eye, he closed his hand into a fist and the wolf was crushed his green blood spilling everywhere even hitting the man’s hoodie a bit. the timberwolf was nothing left but crushed wood. Then he simply dropped it to the ground crossing his arms again and continued to look at me with a blank expression. My mouth was wide open at that point, he just killed that timberwolf like he had fought worse! I watched the entire thing happen in a matter of seconds and whoever this guy is…he sure is powerful. Then suddenly a timberwolf jumps from behind me and pushes me to the ground. I had my guard down and a timberwolf took this opportunity to charge right at me. I quickly grabbed its muzzle and jaw before hitting the ground trying to push it away from my face. I was face to face with the timberwolf trying desperately to fight the damn thing and I was only a few inches away from death. “HEY! I COULD USE A LITTLE HELP HERE!” I shouted as I continue to struggle from the timberwolves jaw. “Help yourself, I am not saving your ass until I can see what you're really capable of.” He said not moving an inch. The timberwolf then took a bite from my shoulder causing me to scream in pain as I returned my focus back to the timberwolf. I tried to punch its muzzle with my free arm but that only made it bite harder into my shoulder. I feel my body weaken from the loss of blood as my punches were getting weaker with every hit. Is this how I die? Just when I thought my life had just begun this is how it ends for me? I could never see my parents again and they won't even know that I am dead or gone from home… Is this the end?..... “NO! Get a hold of yourself! This is not where your story ends! This is only the beginning! You have just been given an adventure of a lifetime and you're just gonna give up like that!? FIGHT!” My thoughts shouted causing me to grab the timberwolf's mouth and try to lift it up from my shoulder once more. “FIGHT!” Slowly the timberwolf’s muzzle lifted from my shoulder as I pulled it away with my newfound strength as I got up from my feet. “FIGHT!” My body began to heat up as the timberwolf was now off my shoulders. To my surprise, the wounds in my shoulder were gone leaving behind smoke where they once were. I then used my other arm to hold its jaw tight and then its muzzle. The timberwolf seemed to be shocked by my sudden recovery as it tried to pull away from my grasp only to be met by resistance. “FIGHT!” The fear in my eyes was gone replaced with anger as I stared deep into the timberwolf’s eyes little fiery flames were appearing everywhere in my body. I could only grin as the timberwolf was now whimpering at me. “Your gonna regret that,” I said almost in a whisper as I ripped its jaw and muzzle apart from its face. it backed away in fear as I slowly approached it. The wood that was in my hands then burned leaving ashes behind then I held my hands together then opened them up to reveal a small fire in my left arm. The timberwolf quickly knew what I was going to do and tried to flee. “Oh where do you think you're going?!” I said releasing a small chuckle as I threw the small fire into the fleeing timberwolf and landed behind its back. The fire immediately spread around the wolf as it continued to run away and into the forest. “WHO’S NEXT?!” I shouted gesturing for them to come and attack me. The rest of the timberwolves watched the whole thing unfold and let's just say they were not happy with the results. The man continued to stare at me but instead of a blank expression, it was replaced with a small smile on his face. At least that's what I think is on his face right now. All of The timberwolves finally got out of the trees they were hiding forgetting about the man that was still watching everything and headed in my direction. These powers I had obtained were quite familiar and it took me a while to realize what they were. When I did a large smile was plastered on my face as the timberwolves surround me I then snapped my finger and sure enough, a small fireball appeared. “WATCH YOUR EYES!” I shouted squatting down and releasing the fireball into the air. It then exploded blinding the timberwolves as they crash into one another. I then took this opportunity to create a blaze to surround the timberwolves in flames with nowhere left to run. The timberwolves were bunched up together as the fire surrounded them. Then I tried to switch it up a bit and used another power I was also familiar with. As I did the flames around my body died down replaced with a windy feeling to it. I launched myself into the air dashing myself into the night sky and overlooking the timberwolves that were still surrounded by the wall of flames. There were about five timberwolves that were in the fire perfect for five knives into each of their wooden heads. Like magic, five throwing knives floated behind me ready to be used each knife hitting its target. The firewall had finally died down revealing the five timberwolves dead on the spot each having knives in their foreheads As I descend back down to the ground the man finally got up from his tree and was walking towards me. “Hmph, it looks like your not useless at all. You have proven to yourself that you can fight….Uh, what's with the look on your face?” he says confused as I still had probably the biggest smile the world has ever seen. “I HAVE FUCKING POWERS!” I shouted laying on the grass and laughing like a kid as the man continues to stare at me in disgust. What they do not notice is that they were being watched in the skies above as an alicorn stares at the both of them from below. She had seen the fight in its entirety and how she saw the creature’s power feared her the most. A race that was defeated long ago by her and her sister had returned once again with the power of magic in their hands. “Humans..” She says in disbelief as she flies back to canterlot to warn her sister of the coming storm that is brewing...
Chapter 4: Abilities And Past Histories“So… you're telling me that these abilities you currently possess are from a videogame?” The man says still confused with my whole power thing. We were currently sitting by a campfire discussing about my newfound abilities and how they work. We used the timberwolves bodies to keep the fire going for the night gotta make use of the free wood somehow. “Pretty much,” I said proudly. “And…there's over 20 of these characters each having their own personal ability or tools?” “Mhmm.” “Could you give me a rundown about these character's roles and their abilities again?” He sounded stressed out and he is still confused about the whole thing. I am not really great at explaining things, to be honest, I’d rather tell the truth than try to hide it or make something out of it. “Alright, ill explain it to you again so listen closely cause this is the last time,” I said clearing my throat. “Valorant is a first-person shooter game with characters with their own tools and abilities to aid them in fights. characters also have their special skills called ultimates that are for chaos, defensive situations, or scouting areas. Each character or agent whatever you want to call it has certain roles in gameplay for each situation that happens on the battlefield and there are over 4 roles.” “Duelists - People who are on the frontlines and engage in combat first before the rest of his/her allies. They mostly use their abilities and skills to aid themselves in battles.” “What you saw when I fought the timberwolves were two characters with the same role. Phoenix and Jett.” Duelist/Phoenix: Abilities. Curveball- The user creates a flare orb that takes a curving path wherever the user throws it and detonates shortly after blinding anyone who sees the orb. Hot Hands- The user creates a fireball. Once thrown the user may decide for either the fireball to explode on impact or create a lingering fire zone that damages enemies but heals the user. Blaze- The user creates a flame wall. Upon release, a line of fire moves forward wherever the user points his/her hand the user may bend the wall in any direction his/her hand points to. After a short amount of time, a firewall is created blocking the enemy's vision and damaging anyone that enters the firewall. Like Hot hands, this also heals the user. (ULTIMATE) Run It Back- The user leaves a fire marker on the ground. Once the ability is activated dying or after a certain amount of time has passed will end the ability leaving the user at the location of the fire marker fully recovered. Duelist/Jett: Abilities. Updraft- Once active the user propels high into the air. Tailwind- The user charges a gust of wind or his/her feet. Once released the user propels in the direction he/she is moving. If standing still the user propels forward. Cloud Burst- The user throws a projectile that expands into a brief vision-blocking cloud on impact with a surface. The user may move the projectile's direction. (ULTIMATE) Blade Storm- The user equips highly accurate throwing knives. When an enemy is killed knives are recharged process repeats until all 5 knives have been used. (Passive Skill) Drift- If the user is airborne he/she may slow their fall speed and glide safely down to the ground. “Basically Phoenix has the power to control fire and Jett has the power to control the wind.” “But what if you were to accidentally burn something down? Wouldn't the fire spread like how it did to that timberwolf that fled?” He questions adding more wood to the fire. “Not likely, see I have the power to control the flames meaning I can decide whether I want to burn something down or not. So if I were to throw a fireball into a tree the fire stays but the tree will be unharmed.” I answered and he gave a nod in response gesturing me to continue. “So when there are duelists there are also controllers.” “Controllers - People who assist their team on the battlefield by providing cover, cornering enemies, and taking control of areas.” “Heh. That could be useful for us.” He said releasing a small chuckle. “Yep some have useful tools to take control of areas and some have powers to help push back enemies.” I continued creating a tactical map on my left arm and showing it to the man. “This is one of the characters that use tools in combat.” Controller/Brimstone: Abilities. Incendiary- The user equips an incendiary grenade launcher. Firing launches a grenade that detonates until it comes to rest on the floor creating a lingering fire zone that damages anyone in the flames. Sky Smoke(Unavailable)- The user equips a tactical map showing the entire area in a 50-meter radius. The user can only send up to 3 smoke clouds. Tapping the screen a yellow circle pops out on where the smoke lands. confirming the location, smoke clouds descend from the sky and crash into the designated area. Stim Beacon- The user equips a stim beacon, tossing it into the ground and upon landing the stim beacon creates a field granting the user and his allies increased movement speed. (ULTIMATE) Orbital Strike(Unavailable)- Using the tactical map and selecting a location, the user may release a powerful lingering orbital strike laser at the selected location, dealing high damage over time to enemies that are caught in the location and destroying anything in the zone of the orbital strike. As expected the man's eyes widened and his jaw dropped after hearing the ultimate I mean who wouldn't? So much damage can be made with a push of a button killing anything that is caught in the zone of the strike. “This is Excellent! Equestria will surely fall if you have an ability like that!” He said laughing like a fucking villain in a Disney movie. Why would he want to take over equestria? welp, time to give him the bad news. “Sadly I cannot access it.” I said preparing for the worse. “What?!” He shouted standing up from his seat.“Why not?!” “ Because I need a satellite to even use the tactical map without it it just leaves the thing static meaning it will be useless. The same goes for sky smoke.” “Then why even bring it up then?” “I……don't know.” I said releasing a slight chuckle while rubbing the back of my head. The man releases a loud groan and sits back down but gestures for me to continue.”Alright, so now that that's out of the way there are also agents who use their powers to help control areas as well.” Controller/Omen: Abilities. Paranoia- The user launches a shadow projectile forward, anyone who is hit by the projectile briefly reduces their vision. This ability can pass through walls. Dark Cover- The user channels a shadow orb and is able to see through walls when the ability is active, the user may control the shadow orbs direction in which the shadow sphere lands. Releasing the shadow orb creates a long-lasting shadow sphere that blocks vision in the designated location. Shrouded Step- The user channels a shadow walk ability that lets him/her teleport a few feet away from his/her previous location. (ULTIMATE) From The Shadows- The user uses all of his power and strength to teleport anywhere wherever he/she pleases. The user appears as a shade at first that can be destroyed by anyone that is waiting on the other side. Once the shade is destroyed the ability is canceled. “This agent would be useful if I were to be stuck in sticky situations or if I want myself to be hidden from enemies. His ultimate is also helpful for fast travel but I would need to use all my strength on doing so.” I said as I channeled a shadow orb in my hands. I looked over to see the man mentally taking notes as he stares at the ground with his hand on his chin. “Hey, you still listening?” I said hoping to get his attention. He gave a slight nod while rubbing his chin then he started coughing. This guy is really weird how come does he not know about video games? Besides the first question how did he even get into this world anyway? And why does he look so messed up? The dude smells like a rotting corpse like he hasn't showered for years. Has he even visited any of the pony villages for help or at least interacted with any of the ponies? These questions are going to have to come later after I discuss my abilities. If I were to cooperate with this guy I got to at least know his name. “Alright, now that I explained to you about controllers there are also their counterpart initiators.” “Initiators - similar to controllers but instead of controlling areas they help their allies drive the enemies back and enter the area safely. They also help duelists to get easy kills.” This is also my favorite role when it comes to gameplay because of one character that I loved too much playing. I then swiftly change my powers to my favorite agent Skye. Now when it comes to changing abilities it also comes to changes in appearance and when I switched to Skye my clothing was all green colored between light and dark green and trinkets of different animals were strapped around my waist. “This is my favorite character to play in the game,” I said smiling as I began to showcase what they can do. Initiator/Skye: Abilities. Trailblazer- The user equips a Tasmanian tiger trinket, Once used gain control of the Tasmanian tiger. enemies that are attacked by the tiger, the tiger explodes releasing a concussive blast onto the enemy it had attacked. Guiding Light- The user equips a hawk trinket, Once activated gain control of the Hawk. Provides an ariel view of the surrounding area. The user may reactivate this ability for the hawk to explode into a bright flash blinding anyone that looks at the hawk. Regrowth- the user equips a healing trinket, and the user channels this ability to heal nearby allies. Can be re-used until the healing pool is depleted. The user cannot heal him/herself when used. (ULTIMATE) Seekers- the user equips a seeking trinket, and the user must channel which victim or species must the seekers hunt. Once released the seekers hunt for the species/victims around the area. Once the seeker reaches its target the seeker then explodes near sighting the enemy whilst slowing their movement speed. Can be summoned by up to 10 seekers. (depending on how many are in the area.) “So this guy’s ability is to control creatures that came out of wooden trinkets?” “Girl actually and yep that's basically her ability.” I then summoned the Tasmanian tiger and showed it to the man. “ain't she a beauty?” I said while scratching the tiger's head. this is so awesome I can't believe I actually have these powers. I then returned the tiger back to her talisman before switching to the next initiator. This time I was wearing a blue cloth and I had a metal plate on my right arm with a face of an owl. A bow is strapped in my back and to top it all off my right eye color was changed to a bright blue color. When my transformation was complete I hear the man speak up. “Do you feel any slight pain when you want to switch different abilities?” He questioned whiles taking a little cough out from his throat. You know it kinda actually does hurt a bit when I want to switch to different abilities. It is also very tiring when I want to switch to a different character just to use his/her abilities. I didn't even realize that I was sweating hard and was breathing through my mouth its either the coat that was given to me or that I'm actually tired of switching abilities constantly just to showcase this guy what they can do. “Yep, it does but only a little bit,” I said honestly which he gave a nod in response. Initiator/Sova: Abilities. Shock Bolt- The user equips a bow with a shock bolt. Detonating upon collision the arrow explodes into an electric blast. Alternate fire the bow to make the bolt bounce upon collision. (Up to 2 bounces). Recon Bolt- The user equips a bow with a recon bolt.

Owl Drone- The user equips an owl drone. Releasing from its holster, take control of the owl drone. While in control of the drone fire the drone to release a marking dot. This dart will reveal the location of the person struck by the dart. (ULTIMATE) Hunter’s Fury- The user equips a bow with three long wall-piercing energy blasts. Upon firing releases an energy blast in a line in front of the user, dealing massive damage and revealing enemies caught in the line. “Hmmph his abilities could really be useful if we were to enter dangerous territory. We could scout the area before making any decisions we might regret.” He said releasing yet another cough this time louder. “You tell me,” I said while firing a recon bolt into the forest. Nothing was detected by the bolt Hopefully those Timberwolves aren't going to be troubling us for a while. “Usually it scans anything that's around the bolt revealing a bright yellowish light of any creature it scans and releasing a sound that goes-” just then a ding was heard from where I shot the bolt. We both looked in the direction where the sound was heard preparing for another attack from the timberwolves. Luckily the bolt only revealed a family of rabbits strolling around the forest. “Like that.” I continued and the man coughs yet again. Is he sick or something? “Hey, you alright you have been coughing a lot lately.” I said. “I'm fine.” He said his voice rigid while clearing his throat “Just finish explaining your abilities.” Now as a nurse, I know that he is coming down with something but if he wants to be left alone ill leave him be….for now. “Now finally we have the ones that hold down the fort sentinels.” “Sentinels- The defensive experts who can lockdown areas and watch for any ambushes. The most crucial role ever.” “Most crucial you say?” “Trust me…they are a pain in the ass sometimes,” I said with a bit of disgust in my voice. Sentinel/Sage: Abilities. Slow Orb- The user equips a slow orb. When thrown the orb detonates upon landing creating a lingering field that slows anyone that crosses. Heal Orb- The user equips a healing orb. Channeling the orb on him/herself or on an ally heals them over time healing any injuries and open wounds. Barrier Orb- The user equips a barrier orb. Channeling the orb creates a solid wall. (ULTIMATE) Resurrection- The user may resurrect a dead being back to life. Requires a lot of focus, patients, and strength from the user to channel the spell correctly. “Resurrection you say? It is impossible to even do that spell here. it takes a master magic artist with a lot of magic power to even bring someone back to life and they would still have a hard time performing it. And you can simply cast it yourself?” “Hey, I didn't say it was simple. just requires a lot of focus and willpower for it to work. Other than that I can perform it. Now stop talking I'm almost done explaining.” Sentinel/Killjoy: Abilities. Alarmbot- The user summons a covert alarm bot from his/her holster, The alarmbot stays hidden until it detects a living being in its range. Once detected the alarmbot explodes making anyone in its range vulnerable weakening both the enemy and the armor it wears. If the user is out of its range the alarmbot shuts down.

Once activated the device starts winding up for a long period of time creating a large radius of the surrounding area. Once the wind-up is finished all enemies inside the radius will be detained for a period of time. If the device is destroyed the lockdown is canceled. “And that's about it,” I said returning back to my normal clothing and releasing a long breath of fresh air before continuing. “you got any of that?” “Yes I have but I do have one question. Didn't you say that there were over 20 of these characters? Why have you only shown 8 of them?” He asked coughing. “Well, first of all, I'm still getting used to these abilities and I'm already losing my breath by just telling you 8 of them and second my memory is a bit fuzzy at the moment and I can't really remember the rest of the characters well so give me some time to think.” I answered back. For the first time in my life, I had lied to this guy and oh my god I'm glad he bought it. My second reason was a lie I know the rest of the agent's abilities from the back of my head. I just didn't want to tell them because they would bring even chaos to this world which I didn't want. Plus this guy is already shady enough. He's clearly a villain but why is he a villain? Welp, I guess it's my turn to ask some questions. “Well, it's about time we get some rest. We got lots of things to do tomorrow” He said getting up from his seat and stretching. “Now hold on a second if I were to help you, you have to let me ask some questions that need answering” I said standing up and walking towards him. He used his menacing stare at me again when I first got here but I wasn't afraid of it anymore so I gave him a stare of my own. If he intends to hurt any of the ponies then he's got another thing coming. We continued to stare at each other for what felt like an eternity with only the cracks of the fire being heard until he stopped letting out a sigh. “What do you want to know?” he finally asked sitting back down but not before releasing a cough. “First of all I'm not just gonna call you dude all the time so got a name?” I asked the obvious first. “I guess its only fair names Alex,” he said bringing up his hand. “Alex Hayes.” “Justin Hermandez.” I said holding his hand and shaking it and then continued.”How long have you been in Equestria? “I don't know…I lost track a while ago so I guess 1000 years or so,” Alex answered with another cough. “What 1000 years?! How in the world have you lived that long?!” “The powers that I wield now are what keep me alive,” he said releasing a small cloud from his hand. “A certain….pony taught me this power to use dark magic and I've been using them to slow me from aging hence why I look young.” “But you look pale.” “But still young.” “Ok, so last question why take over equestria? And why bring me along?” Now I asked the real question and he gritted his teeth when he heard my question but manage to keep his cool. before speaking. “If you must know their ruler took everything from me. I wasn't the only one that was in equestria I had a family there were multiple of us living in a quiet village along with the ponies. We trusted them and they trusted us everything was well but one night we were attacked by the ponies. We fought back until their ruler of the sun came along with her sister of the night she had killed all of us along with her sister. SHE KILLED MY FAMILY! MY FRIENDS! EVERY SINGLE HUMAN BEING IN THAT VILLAGE!” Alex shouted causing me to back up a bit. then he released a heavy cough this time blood came out of it. Then he continued. “...Except me.” He finished as he punched the ground causing it to crack a bit. “Celestia is a murderer and she will pay for everything and that includes everypony that lives. I won't stop until equestria falls beneath my feet and every single creature will kneel down to me.” What in the world was I supposed to do at this point? he had a good point for why he was even like this. Also, Celestia did this to him?! Celestia was called many things but I don't think a murderer is one of them. But I can't side with him either he would kill many innocent ponies that probably don't even know of his existence considering it had happened 1000 years ago and even if they did they would be incredibly shocked to see a creature that was supposed to be extinct. But why did the ponies even attack his village? Didn't they trust each other? Gah! This is just leaving me with more questions! “This is giving me a headache.” I thought to myself but then Alex spoke up again. “Of course, I can't do this alone. I needed someone to help me take over this world. and that someone is you.” Alex said pointing a finger at me. “What would you have me do?” I asked shivering a bit I did not like where this was going. not one bit. “During my 1000 years of hiding from the ponies and training dark magic, there was news that Celestia had lost her sister. something about her sister taking some evil form called nightmare moon and took over the throne. She then banished her sister to the moon using the power of the elements of harmony. But now just a few months ago the princess of the night had returned and was brought back to her original form thanks to the new 6 elemental bearers of the elements of harmony.” He said with an evil smile coming from his face.” If the elements of harmony were that powerful to banish the princess of the night to the moon then it won't do any good for us. Our job is to find these 6 new elemental bearers and kill them!” He said grinning like a madman. “Shit, he’s talking about the mane 6. thank god he does not know who they are.” “Once we deal with them we head towards canterlot and fight the two rulers and then-” Alex then coughed again releasing more blood out of his mouth. “Ah shit.” “Hey your coughing blood you sure you're alright?” I asked. “It's fine, it's just that when I summoned you into this world it took a lot of magic out of me and I'm going to have to need my books to retrieve my magic back. But until then I'm sorry for what I'm about to do.” Alex said apologetically. “What do you mea-” Just then Alex's human form was gone turning into a dark mist that charged right at me giving me little time to react. The next thing I knew is that as the dark mist collided with my body my vision was fading in and out and I fell to the ground unconscious. I woke up the next morning with a big headache. I slowly got up rubbing the back of my head Everything was still the same the fire was long gone but the thing was that now Alex was nowhere to be seen. “Strange…where did he go?” I thought to myself. just then a voice spoke up in my own head causing me to jump a little. “Looking for me?” The voice replied. “WHAT THE FU-... wait Alex is that you?” “Hahaha sorry for scaring ya there. I’d take you haven't experienced this before?” Alex asked genuinely. This is so fucking weird just having him in my head.” “No I haven't…wait if you are in my head does that mean you can read my memories? If you do please don't look into them.” I begged. “Relax I'll leave you and your memories be that would be a waste of magic anyway.” he replied. “Why are you in my head?” “Taking on that human form was also wasting a bit of my dark magic so I turned myself into a mist so that I could save up my powers. And even in my mist form I would still be draining dark magic so I transferred myself into your body instead. otherwise, I would have died right there on the spot.but enough talking we got things that need doing but first, we need my books.” “Where are we going?” I asked as I started to walk away from the little campsite we had made last night. “Head towards the abandoned castle of the two sisters.that is where I was hiding after the elemental bearers returned princess luna to her former self.” “I’d take it princess luna is the ruler of the night?” I asked. Might as well play around a bit. “Indeed, it's somewhere north of here let's get going.” Just then my stomach started growling breaking the long silence. “I could go for something to eat right about now.” I said out loud rubbing my stomach. “You can do that later, right now we need to get my books.” “You can never go traveling with an empty stomach,” I answered back. “What in the fuck.” Alex replied but I didn't pay attention to him. just then I spotted a large field filled with apple trees everywhere as far as my eyes could see. I also spotted a barn meaning that this was an orchard. “Oh look apples.” I said smiling as I continued walking straight towards the apple orchard with a slight headache.

Chapter 5: Apple Heist“This is ridiculous, we are heading into a farmland possibly filled with our enemies just to get some fucking apples!” Alex continued to argue in my head. I was nearing out of the everfree forest and heading towards the apple orchard that I had spotted to get some apples to survive on hunger and Alex had been giving me constant headaches none stop. But my real intentions were to actually delay Alex’s plans on ruling over equestria as long as I could. I have to find out what really happened during Alex’s story… or if it really happened at all. I still don’t trust Alex 100% but his story felt real for him to burst into anger like that. I'll have to hear it from Celestia's side of the story but first ill have to establish peace with these ponies and show them that I didn't mean harm. I just hope that the history of Alex’s village being attacked wasn't recorded….Oh, who am I kidding of course it was recorded. “Ugh, this is going to be harder than I thought.” I thought to myself as I rubbed the back of my head from the pain. “Like I said this is ridiculous. If you think it's so hard why are you even doing this then?” Alex asked with harshness in his voice. Realizing I had been caught I quickly responded. “Uh-um...I mean it's going to be hard to survive without food you know? Don't you need to eat?” “ Don't need to, eating is the least of my concern. All I need are my books.” Alex responded back. the headache was gone much to my relief and we were now nearly approaching the apple orchard. I can't believe I almost got myself caught. There goes soliloquizing myself I guess ill have to leave with my thinking to leave my thoughts to. We were out of the everfree forest as I covered my eyes with my hand from the bright early morning sun rising from the skies. Day 1 of officially being in equestria has begun. Rubbing my eyes I looked up to see many apple trees, the barn was out of view meaning that this place must be huge.” Our goal is to find a basket of apples and get out as soon as possible.” I said to Alexbut here came the first obstacle of my mission. There was a dirt road between the apple orchard and the everfree forest along with a white fence railing over the apple farm. It was an open clearing leaving me with no place to hide. I'll have to run out of the everfree, hop into the fence and find an apple basket all the while without being caught by anypony around the area. It was relatively early in the morning so these pony farmers might have already been on the field harvesting. Just then the headache had returned and so was Alex’s protest. “Ok, there is no way you are doing this just to get some apples. You're not risking revealing yourself to the ponies just for some fucking apples are you Justin? Fucking apples might I remind you. Alex continued to protest. It was risky, I knew this farm was being runned by Applejack and her family but this farm was huge. what if she had help? That's when I remembered a certain tool that could scout the area for us. I then switched to Sova and was preparing to release the owl drone raising my arm up where the drone was currently holstered. “Nope, but might as well scout the area for any ponies around.” And with that the owl drone was released from my arm and was now hovering in the air. I then place my right arm next to my right eye a beeping noise was heard as I begin seeing through the owl drone’s eyes.” Fascinating, are we this drone right now?” Alex asked curiously. “Not exactly, we are just seeing it from its point of view,” I replied back. “Sending the drone in now.” I said to myself aloud as the owl drone began to turn and head straight toward the apple orchard. The drone itself was moving at a decent speed much to its speed in the actual game which was slow as hell. I was flying on top of the trees making sure no pony spots the drone coming towards them and freak out. It wasn't long till I finally spotted the farm ponies and oh my god… If Alex weren't in my head right now I would be screaming with joy and glee. I lowered the owl drone down to the tree branches to get a proper view of the ponies. I don't know why these ponies are so fucking cute that I could literally die just by looking at them for too long. There were mare's and stallions all over the place harvesting. Trees were shaking everywhere around the owl drone from the powerful kicks from the farmer ponies. All of the apples fell perfectly landing into the buckets down below. They were all happy pony farmers that loved what they were doing and I couldn't help but smile. How could these ponies be responsible for the extinction of humans in this world? Surely something else might have attacked them that night. “Stop staring at our enemies and get those fucking apples already! We don't get all day!” Alex shouted causing me to lose control of the owl drone a bit from the sudden headache. The owl drone slammed into an apple tree with a loud thud before I managed to take control of it before it could hit the ground. Immediately when I saw all of the pony's ears perk up I flew the drone back up into the trees while their backs were turned. I could see the pony's heads turning frantically trying to find where that sudden noise had come from. “A’hm not the only one who heard that right?” The stallion spoke up. “It probably just sum Lil critters wandering around nothing ta worry about.” The mare replied as they started grabbing their baskets of apples and walking away. “Alex could you please stop giving me a fucking headache?! Literally!” I yelled at him…no pun intended. “You should be thanking me! You were clearly gawking at those farm ponies and I had to snap you out of it! Have you not listened to my tale of what these ponies did to our race?!” Alex continued to shout in my head the headache was unbearable and it felt like I got shot in the head by a bullet. “OK! Ok just stop already.” I shouted out loud. “It's just that I've never seen these creatures before you know? They are all so different compared to the ones that I had in my world…So much life.” I said as I see the farm ponies leave with the basket of apples on their backs. “Remember your purpose Justin, You are here to help me take over this world do not be blinded by the pony's kindness…. For they might just stab you in the back one day.” Alex said the last part quietly but enough for me to hear. probably saying that to himself as a reminder of how the ponies betrayed him the headache was finally gone but the pain was still there. “Understood.” I said releasing a heavy sigh as I continued to control the owl drone and follow the farm ponies from a safe distance. They were all talking to one another but I couldn't tell what they were saying as long as they were distracted. I have to somehow get Alex off of my head and lose him he’ll keep watching my every move and one wrong mistake could possibly lead me to my death. For now, ill play along and wait for the opportunity to come. After a few minutes, the farm ponies finally stopped and were now placing their baskets of apples on a wagon that is also filled with apples. The farm ponies shortly left after that continuing their work of harvesting. No pony was guarding the wagon it was just they're sitting idly by on the dirt road just waiting to be filled. “Steal the wagon.” “Wha-what did you say?” “Steal the wagon.” He repeated much to my dismay. “What?! No, I'm not gonna steal that wagon.” “You said you wanted apples right? Well here they are! that wagon of apples could last you for days without hunger.” “But that's stealing!” “Why the fuck do you care? It's just apples that they harvested for us to steal.” “...” “...” “Fine.” “Finally we have agreed on something.” As much as I wanted to protest not stealing the wagon I didn't want Alex to raise suspicion about me this early on. I placed the owl drone resting in a tree branch before disconnecting the drone as I prepare myself to head toward the wagon using the everfree forest as cover. After about 5 to 7 minutes of running the wagon was in view this time it appeared to be almost full of apples. I darted around the area and I spotted the owl drone still sitting tightly on the tree branch. There were only a bit of farm ponies around but they weren't entirely close to the wagon much to my relief. Now how was I going to move this wagon filled with apples? it will be heavy considering how many they were. I experienced this back home when I took a 4-day vacation at my parent's house and they worked me to the bone one of which I had to carry loads and loads of apples which I had a slow pace on doing so. But those were just sacks of apples imagine if I were to move that wagon on my own! I'll just have to pray that these powers had also improved my strength. I was already readying myself to sprint toward the wagon and get out as soon as I could when Alex suddenly shouted in my mind. “STOP!” Alex shouted causing me to trip a bit from my running stance. “What? What is it?” I asked as I stood up from my recent fall. “Get down you idiot there is a fucking pony coming!” Hearing this I immediately ducked into the bushes and was now in a crouching position. Great right when I was just about ready to get this done there had to be somepony to stop me from doing so. I could hear the sound of hooves clopping into the ground and had stopped shortly after this pony must be next to the wagon. Then I heard rapid noises coming from my right ear growing louder and louder until it had stopped as well. Then as I feared a familiar voice came from a filly that I knew all too well who it was. “Applejack! Applejack!” The filly shouted with concern in her voice causing me to flinch even more to who she was talking to. “What is it sugarcube?” Applejack asked as the filly took heavy breaths from running. I peeked my head out to have a proper view of what was happening right in front of me. There she was. Applejack right in front of me. The element of honesty looked down at her sister who was sweating and had her head down still exhausted from her run. Once she gathered enough air she spoke up looking at her sister. “What are the royal guards doin here in ponyville? I was supposed to meet up with the girls today until one of the royal guards told me to go back home saying it's not safe to be playing around.” Applebloom says in confusion hoping to find the answers from her sister. Now, why was ponyville filled with royal guards? That was something Alex and I wanted to know as we both listened carefully to the conversation. The sudden increase of security in that village meant that something big was going on… And I had a good feeling why. “I'm sorry that you weren't able to see yer friends applebloom but that guard was right. It's not safe to be playin' around right now.” Applejack said in an apologetic tone before continuing. “Something happened last night in the everfree forest. A loud explosion woke up the entire town. Luna said that everything was going to be alright and said she was going to check the sudden explosion in the everfree forest. We didn't get any news from luna after that until today when Celestia sent her royal guards here just in case any danger comes runnin' from that forest.” Applejack finally finished as she turns to check up on the apples in the wagon. “Do you know who could have caused that explosion?” Applebloom was still searching for answers only for applejack to shake her head. “That's the thing, we don't know what or who caused that explosion last night. Luna didn't come back to tell us what had happened. Somethings not right about all this.” Applejack said having questions of her own. There it was, I didn't know that my arrival to this world would be that loud to wake up an entire village. But then again, This is starting to feel like one of those displaced human stories in fimfiction. It always starts with the human being teleported in the everfree then timberwolves come around and try to kill him. In the end, the human befriends the ponies and eventually goes back to his world after defeating the main villain and saving equestria. I hope the same case goes for me here and as much as I loved being here. I would rather go back home and see my family again. I will see them again. “One more basket should do it!” I hear applejack shout to the other farm ponies. We were running out of time and I had to act as soon as possible. Then once again, the headache returned. “We were being watched this entire time! While you were fighting those wolves the fucking princess of the night must have been observing you from above! It won't take long until word spreads around equestria about our existence! Alex shouted again. That is where I snapped. I have had enough of Alex’s constant shouting and headaches towards me. “Maybe, if you weren't just leaning against that tree and had done absolutely nothing you would have actually known about luna’s presence that night and had tried to stop her!” I shouted back I didn't care what would happen to me. I was still mad about that night when Alex just sat by and watched me fight the timberwolves and if I didn't discover my abilities I could have died. “It was to prove that you were not a useless piece of shit and that was the only way to know of your powers!” “Only way? Hah! That's funny, there could have been multiple ways to discover my abilities you know that might have been least harmful than last night!” “You expect me to actually go easy on you? If I didn't summon you I could just fucking kill you in a matter of seconds.” “Wanna bet?” I challenged causing the headache to hurt even more. “You actually think you have a chance against me?! If I weren't in this state right now I would have accepted your feeble request. But that will have to wait. Once I have my magic back I’ll show you what I'm really capable of.” Just then we heard the filly speak up again causing us to stop our little argument and focus back on the two ponies before us. “Does Celestia know about all this?” applejack could only turn to applebloom and by the look on her face she seems hesitant to answer. “I'm not sure, but I was called from twilight and the rest of mah friends that she got news from the princess last night saying to be prepared for what is to come out of that forest and that we shouldn't share this message to anypony but only us six and the royal guards. If we were to encounter anything out of that forest we are to use the elements of harmony and bring the two creatures to canterlot once we have them.” Applejack replied back before continuing. “She also told us that they wield magic and might use them against us if we were to be hostile to them or they would be hostile to us. If they do…well let's just say it won't be good. I just hope that we can somehow make peace with these creatures so that things won't go out of hoof.” “I'm sure you can do it, sis! After all, you are the element of honesty, and if they ever want to make peace with you and the others. You would know right away!” Applebloon cheered for her sister causing her to smile a bit. “I sure hope so, but for now mind keepin this ah secret for me. I'm not supposed to share this with anypony.” Applejack whispered to applebloom. “Don't worry sis your secrets safe with me.” Applebloom said zipping her lip with her hoof to which applejack laughed as they hugged each other. Applejack, that's it! If I were to show these ponies that I didn't mean any harm and they wouldn't believe me she would! I have to stroll around ponyville and... Well, surrender to the royal guards there. that way I would be escorted to canterlot with Alex and meet the two princesses! Maybe they could even help me find my way back home! This was perfect! “Justin… Burn her.” I hear alex say with venom in his voice. “What?! Why?!” “Didint you hear?! She's an elemental bearer! This is our chance to murder these bearers! That way the elements shall be useless!” “But-But…I~” “Fucking burn her NOW!!!” Alex screamed into my head. As I'm about to make a decision I am about to make. I held both of my arms together creating the fireball once again. I then stood up from my hiding spot and was ready to throw the fireball at applejack and applebloom. They didn't seem to notice me as they were still hugging. I was shaking I didn't know what to do. Do I kill them? Or Do I betray Alex?.. The choice was obviously clear and I knew I shouldn't have done it when I first encountered Alex. I threw the fireball as far as I could missing both applejack and applebloom. The fireball hit an apple tree as it ignited in flames rather quickly causing the farm ponies to panic. Both applejack and applebloom stopped their embrace as applejack and the rest of the farm ponies quickly acted, finding any water nearby and tossing it into the raging flames. “How in the hell did you miss that?!” Alex yelled but I ignored him entirely. As I took a running stance and electricity started to circulate around me then I took off towards the wagon. I quickly grabbed both handles of the wagon and started sprinting towards the everfree forest with the help of the High Gear ability. Applebloom saw the wagon suddenly move but wasn't able to see the one who was pulling it. “Applejack! The wagon!” Applebloom shouted to her sister. As applejack turned her head the wagon was already gone as it heads into the everfree forest. “Horse apples! We've been robbed! Applejack shouted in anger. “Uhm applejack you might wanna take a look at this!” One of the farm ponies shouted causing applejack to turn her attention to the tree. There, many farm ponies stood in place. they were shocked to see what was right in front of them. Applejack pushed herself from the little crowd to see what they were looking at which also made her shocked as well. The tree that was hit by the sudden fire turned out to be fine as no burnt marks were found and all the leaves were still in place. That fire covered the entire tree and here it was still in one piece. “Applejack look at these hoofprints!” Applebloom shouted. Once Applejack had reached her sister she looked down to the dirt road to see hoofprints on the ground. But the thing was these were not hoofprints at all, these were prints applejack had not seen before, and they only appeared to be two of them instead of four. She looked into the everfree forest trying to put the puzzles together. Could it be? Applebloom seemed to have the same idea as her sister as she looked up towards applejack. “Do you think these prints are from the…..creature?” Applebloom was terrified that the creature of the everfree had been near them this entire time. Applejack turned to her sister with a serious look on her face. “Twilight needs to know about this.” Ability discovered: Duelist/Neon: High Gear- The user channels the power of electricity for increased speed.
