“Hy-rule? Discord, I dunno…” Spike, garbed as Garbunkle, said as he gave the entire area an inquisitive look around. “Place doesn’t look very O&O. And given the creepy ominous clouds, dry grass, and evil looking tower, this doesn’t look like it’ll be easy either.”
“Relax, Spike. It may look difficult, but this kind of place can be done by even the youngest of children. The only reason it looks difficult is because we are starting at the end of an adventure. Odd place to start, I know, but this is merely a test run for our beginner adventurer. Even better, I have given us items that will help aid us on our assault on our target, a ruthless demon king named Ganon, who awaits us at the top of that tower. And, being as amazing as I am, this entire scenario was constructed from an outline. Which means even I have no idea how it’ll progress, perfect for immersion. Now, the items in question are very special, and essential in defeating this evil king. I, Captain Wuz, hold the silver arrows. You, Garbunkle, wield the Staff of Wisdom.”
“Wha?” Spike looks upon the staff he is holding, and notices it to be a spectacular silver staff with a blue spherical gem at the top of it, three triangles adorned along the clutches of the staff that hold the orb in place. “Woah, this looks pretty neat, looks pretty high level too.”
“Ohhh man! Dad! Geez, this is amazing!” You were just taking it all in! It really looked like it was mostly based off Ocarina of Time, but more realistic looking. Holy fucking damn, this is the kind of adventure you wanted to go on! To actually go and take out a memorable and legendary villain like Ganon. “Like, what made you want to set this up?”
“I just thought if it was going to be a beginner’s adventure, that’d it be something most enjoyable to you. Which would make it easier for you to enjoy it with your marefriend. And there is certainly no other reason other than that. But I do have to know, on a scale between 1 and ‘Discord is the best of them all’, how would you rate things thus far in terms of aesthetics?” Discord asked, looking at you with a cocky look, but his eyes seemingly having some sort of wanting for validation, something you truly hadn’t noticed at the time.
“Beyond the best! I always wanted to do an adventure like this! Wait, OHHHH! Wait, so if Spike has got the Staff of Wisdom, then that must mean I have the…” You reach onto your back, and hold up a massive double edged battle axe with a silver blade, the handle being made of a sturdy gold material, marked with the three triangles of the triforce, with a red diamond encrusted in the middle of the giant blade itself. “The Battle Axe of PooowwwaaahhHH!” You also didn’t realize that this was a two hooved axe, as in, holding it up with one hoof was quite cumbersome. You accidentally drop the axe onto the ground as you fall forward, your face meeting the axe’s edge. Luckily, somehow, you only bump your head as if you hit a blunt object, and fall to the side of the axe with a thud. “Ow… Yikes… U-um, it’s pretty heavy.” You were just glad you weren't cleaved in two.
Discord just groans as he puts his paw to his face. “You’re lucky these weapons only slice through evil or this adventure would end as soon as it began. But yes, you have the Axe of Power. Which leaves Moonlight Garnet, and her Dagger of Courage.”
“Wooooah!” Diamond said as she held up her dagger, a silver blade with a strong gold metal hilt, the hilt adorned with a green gem in a triangle shape, surrounded by the triforce. “This looks really expensive.”
Wait, Diamond… Diamond as in Moonlight! Oh shit! You look over to her as you stand back up to finally see what her character was. Though, you expected an alicorn, that wasn’t what you actually got. What stood before the group was a filly with a darker pink coat than Diamond has, wearing a black tunic, shoes, cape with red fringes, and a black cloak along her head. Diamond’s mane was the same, if a little frazzled, but it was her eyes, mouth, back, and ears that caught you off guard. Her ears were now very fluffy, and slightly longer than normal. Her back was now adorned with black purples bat wings, her pupils were now slits, surrounded by beautiful garnet colored eyes, and she had small fangs extending from her mouth. Wait… She’s a bat pony?! A BAT PONY?! She looks… Unf, she looks adorable and yet sensual at the same time. Maybe that wasn’t the intention, but oh boy, did it turn you on. “Diamond, is that you?”
“Yup! Oh! Wait…” Diamond begins to notice on her own that her body actually changed. She looks back to see her wings, and begins to pat at her ears like a cat, causing them to flick about. “Eeeeee!” She lets out, being a little more ear piercing than it should be, but oh so damn cute. “It worked! I’m a Bat Pony Princess! A master of the night! Yeah! Anon, what do you think? Don’t I look oh so cool?” Diamond strikes a small pose, extending her right leg forward as she tries to look daring, but comes out as… Well, it should be daring but you had smut on the mind.
“You look so… Amazing.” You say, just...looking at her like a perverse creep.
“Well, of course. I’m Moonlight Garnet! The Princess Thief! Wait… That just makes me sound like I steal princesses. The Princess of Thieves… Wait, no, that just makes it sound like I rule over thieves. Erm, The Thief Princess! There we go, perfect!” Diamond says with a satisfied nod. She then notices you staring at her, she also noticed you blushing, something she had come to realize meant one thing. “Anon… Are you attracted to me? I mean, like this?” She asks, rather shyly.
You nod and answer carelessly. “Mhmm” God, she looked sexy.
Diamond, at first looked adorably shy about it, but then she suddenly got super angry. “Anon! GRRRR! YOU CAN’T BE ATTRACTED TO MOONLIGHT GARNET! SHE’S NOT ME! OOOH, THAT MAKES ME SO…” She rushed up to you, and with some kind of unholy strength, takes your axe and slams it down on your head, actually slicing you in half. Not in a violent way either, more like you were made of paper, no guts or anything. A spirit version of you floats out of your now vanishing corpse, which startles everyone. “Wait! WAIT! I didn’t mean to do that! Ngh, You said it could only cleave evil! Anon.. No…”
Spike just chuckled as he put his arms to his side “He’s alright, that’s just how we deal with player death. As for only cleaving evil, heh, I have a feeling there was something about Anon right then that wasn’t exactly good.”
“Indeed.” Discord snaps his talons, bringing you back to life as he has himself a light giggle. “Not the first time its happened either. But let us try to avoid player killing, shall we?”
“Y-yes, Daddy Discord. I’m sorry, I just got really mad.” Diamond said, relieved, and feeling apologetic for what she did. But holy fuck, that was yandere as hell! Geez, that was fucking scary. You expected she’d not get jealous, especially with the way she was maturing, and then suddenly she cleaves you with a fucking axe!
“Y-yeah, let’s not do that. But u-uhh, Diamond, I-I mean, couldn’t it be my character just falling for your character?” You say, with a pathetic and sheepish grin on your face as you try to save the situation. “I mean, this is a role playing session.”
Diamond just gives you a hard stare, no longer phased by your 'death' “No.”
“Oh, critical failure there, Anon.” Spike says as he walks over to you to give you a pat on your side for reassurance before looking to Discord. “So, Captain Wuz, what exactly are we doing? As in, are we just doing a basic dungeon run? Get in, beat the bad guys, get out?”
Discord nods “Exactly, however, our way to the town is cut off thanks to that drawbridge. And even then, the once bustling town of Hyrule has been taken over by Ganon, meaning it’s probably falling apart and filled to the brim with his monstrous soldiers. We’ll have to get past them first before we even reach the tower.”
Spike just rolls his eyes as his tone turns sarcastic “Oh yeah, real easy.”
Ok, so it sounds a little worse than Ocarina of Time, as you remember the town only having redeads, who were pretty easy to bypass. “Yeah, I’m with Spike, how are we supposed to get past an entire town of monsters?”
“Hmph, I’d expect that questioning from you, Anon, of course, but you Spike? Why the doubt?” Discord asked, feeling rather insulted that his friend, a vet of the game, would question the validity of the difficulty of his campaign.
“Y’know, just sounds a little tougher than it should be for a beginner’s campaign. But hey, if you’re that sure, then I’m ready to rock. We’ll send Ganon and his goons to the shredder, no prob.” Spike said as he stood tall, slamming his staff down to the ground to affirm his bravery and mettle.
In truth, you were still a little shaken by Diamond’s reaction to really give an actual reply. You tried to shake it off, but as you gave her another glance, you started to feel rather off. “Yeah... “
And Diamond noticed, and while she was relieved that you were ok, she had realized again that she did kill you, if only accidentally and within a game. She walks back up to you, and apologizes. “Anon, I’m really sorry I did that. I just got mad over something stupid. I mean, it’s just like dress up, right? You just think i'm cute in like, this costume, right?” There she was, worried over the fact you were looking at her as someone else rather than herself. I mean, in essence, she'd probably be hot as fuck as a vampony, a transformation you know that is possible without chaos magic. Then again... She'd also be kind of violent. Buuuuut... Then again, that's still kind of hot.
“Yeah… Heh, I just got a little overwhelmed by your look. Bat or Earth Pony, you look adorable to me.” You tell her, which causes her to nuzzle her head under yours once more, as she was thankful that you forgave her, and admired you for your love for her.
“And that’s a critical save.” Spike said, just enjoying the adorable moment from afar.
“Ok then.” Diamond says as she ends her nuzzling with a smooch to your cheek. “Let’s go kick Ganon butt! Erm, I don’t know what he is, but he’ll rue the day he messed with me, Diamond T-... Erm, Moonlight Garnet!” She proclaims as she turns over to the raised drawbridge, then to Discord. “Captain Wuz, any idea how we’re going to get that down?”
And with those words, it looks like the adventure officially began.
I'm a DnD nerd, so I say mini arc. A session set in Hyrule with ponies sounds like a kickass mashup!
I wonder if they'll run into Link, or if they just straight up replaced him, and if Ganon will be expecting them or Link....
And if all of them are going to also be ponies or human.
Lotta questions soon to be answered....
Also Anon is going to have dreams about Diamond the bat pony me thinks, and if Diamond runs away with it and feels more power over Anon, she might too.
Which will possibly lead to a very confused and concerned Luna, as the fetish of roleplay is introduced into Equestria.
I would like to see this as an arc, personally.
Im wanna see the rest of the arc. It has a great concept
9575397
They replaced Link. His axe is a battleaxe version of the master sword. Just think of this as a mashup of Four Swords and OoT.
Luna regrets peeking deeper into his mind already...
i'm likin this idea
tho you shoulda started from the beginning of the story for the campaign tbh
I see no reason why not, sure give this mini-arc a spin. I'm curious as to how this will play out to be honest.
9575562
Not quite, it's a unique version of OoT. Spike has Wisdom, not Zelda. Dia has Courage, not Link. And Anon has Power, and not Ganon. It's the 'Theme' of OoT, aka the skin and characters, but not following the world directly. Note that Discord didn't mention himself having anything, I think he'll be sticking mostly to a DM roll, and being more of a background/side helper in the 3's adventure.
9576192
Kinda what I meant by four swords. though Dicord could have just given himself the lightforce since that would make him on equal terms with the triforce and still make him more powerful than the other three with their triforce devided.
9576192
Discord says he has the silver arrows. Ala NES and SNES zelda
9576249
Oh right, forgot that bit of mostly useless info since the Light Arrows are only ever used for one very specific Deus Ex thing. That being to make Ganon vulnerable to dmg.
9576245
Except in Four Swords, isn't it just Link split into 4, using a unique sword? It isn't even the Mastersword, if I remember right. Just Link and Courage splot between into four beings. I never had friends growing up, so could never play it on the GBA when I got it with the Link to the Past GBA version of the game lol
9576245
>. < again, he said he has silver arrows. Which are pretty tremendously powerful
9576316
Depending on what game you go by, they are imbued with lightforce which makes them the same as light arrows.
9576313
Same concept as triforce heroes but different number of Links.
9575562
I mean, she probably watches Diamond's dreams to make sure Anon isn't corrupting her or something.
9576476
I don't see her worrying about that with Diamond.
Diamond has proven to Luna that she is not only a master tactician, but is also calling the shots in the relationship.
Luna's only hangup right now with Anon (despite her denial) is he was actually right about her actually enjoying the concept of fantasies.
9576505
So you're saying she WOULDN'T be paranoid about Anon corrupting Diamond, even though he kinda sorta corrupted Luna herself a tad?
9576741
You are claiming both sisters are the same. Celestia is the only one who's gone antagonistic lengths against him. Luna on the other hand tends to accept in the end that everyone has darkness in them. She may have another talk with Diamond to see what he's up to, but her attitude is just the conservative attitude ponies normally have. Humans are acctually the same way, acting high and mighty about how morally great they are while trying desperately to supress natural urges.
9576916
Except she says all concepts of sexuality and sexual nature within Equestria is super simple and manners of procreation had no existence other than to foster children, and called Anon's fan of lesbians something that goes against the very nature of their reality, and called it otherworldly, and even requested to keep such thoughts to himself.
Going by that, it should be safe to assume the moment Diamond starts to dream about controlling Anon using the costume, possibly to motivate him to super cuddle her or something, it'd be safe to say Luna would be suspicious.
Ponies are not like humans when it comes to lewd fantasies. We COULD attribute it to Luna simply being from the ancient era where times were indeed simple, and exploration was untouched and not thought about, and nobody has had the guts to "teach" her about modern fetishes, but going by the fact even Chrysalis was disturbed by Anon's libido and didn't really use any fetishes to manipulate him, I'd say its safe to assume the world itself is truly innocent and fetish free.
Which is why Anon is such a danger in Luna's eyes.
9576988
Luna is technically the product of the morals a thousand years ago. A thousand years ago for us, the act of a woman exposing her calf was considered risque and scandalous. She would have probably been ostracized from her community or stoned to death. You are taking the words of someone who is stuck in their own view of the world as scripture to how the world works and that isn't how realty works. Issues are always more complex than they appear, especially in this fic.
(You can believe what you want but I'm kinda done with this convo. I will just agree to disagree.)
9577015
I mean, that's fair, but I even pointed out the age in the comment you replied to....
9576988
9577033
That's all well and good, but I have to point out that, while nudity of different types were considered scandalous, in most of the medieval and pre-medieval world, sex was not a taboo, per se. The fact is, most castles were not large affairs, and peasant huts even less so. Often, there was only one bedroom for the people to sleep (and for peasantry, the animals too!), so sex often occurred in front of the entire family. Granted, monogamy was preached, and premarital relations were looked down upon, but the actual act itself was not kept from youth. (missing citation, but I'm pretty sure it was a Shadiversity video that I first heard this)
If I had to attribute Luna's prudish nature to anything, I would say that it's the modern child friendly nature of the show for which the universe was constructed.
BAT PONY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m gonna ignore that last sentence.
