Blue Fang sat in the cell heâd been provided with. He closed his eyes and concentrated, then the world went black and he fell into the Void. The fall ended in a forest. He got up and walked around the forest. He looked down at the mud. Hoof prints covered the ground. He followed them to a camp. He saw the top of a tent and walked to it. He peeked through the bushes... only to find a Changeling laying on the ground. He slowly walked over to the Changeling, who he then flipped over. He immediately recognized him. âDagger!â he cried. He saw bite marks on Daggers fore hoof and torso. He saw two green eyes staring at him from the bushes. The Timberwolf stepped out of the bush carrying another Changeling in its mouth. âNightbite!â He yelled as the wolf dropped Mitchells body and gave howl. Two more wolves stepped out, one carrying Brokenwings body, the other Kydra. Before he could yell, the wolves charged him. He quickly lit his horn and the Void came back. Then he woke up, the magic pushing him back against a wall. He breathed heavily as he returned to reality. He looked at the Guards whoâd been watching him. âWhat?â The two Guards just looked at each other and shrugged.
He heard the sound of hoof steps and he looked over to the sound. The two Guards bowed their head and then looked at each other with confused faces, but then they left. Princess Luna came into his view. She came into his cell and closed it.
âYour majesty,â Blue Fang said.
âYou donât have to be so formal,â she eyed him down, âwhy are you in the corner?â
He looked at the spot he originally was, âmagic, donât ask.â
âYou were trying to get into the Dreamscape,â she said ignoring Blue Fangs comment.
âThe Dream what?â
âThe Dreamscape,â she replied. Blue Fang looked confused. She rolled her eyes, âthe Void.â
âOh.â Blue Fang stared at her, âand Iâm sure youâre here to either antagonize me or comment on my song from yesterday, either way, youâre going to antagonize me.â
She shook her head, âno Iâm not, I just want to talk with you.â Blue Fang looked at her, pretty confused, then she spoke, âyou miss them, donât you?â Blue Fang nodded. âYou love them, do you not?â
Blue Fang looked at her. Love was pretty ironic for a Changeling. Heck, one of the things they were taught in the Academy was how to not feel emotions. Although, he did have a crush on Kydra. Luna seemed to laugh at the thought. He completely forgot she could read his thoughts, or at least, something like that. He looked at the poker box Thorax gave him. Luna looked at him, âyou know, I could set up a poker match for you,â she said.
âAgainst?â
âThe Apple Family.â
He seemed to consider the offer, âwhatâs in it for me? Or as a matterâa fact, the Apple Family?â
She looked at him, then said, âsix hundred bits.â
Blue Fang thought about the deal, and almost said no, but then a Royal Guard walked in, âletter for Blue Fang he said.â Blue Fang got up and took the letter from the Guard, then went back to his seat and read the letter.
Dear Blue Fang,
We lost all the bits weâd stolen. Weâre pretty sure that Twilight took them back. Weâre currently looking for anyway to make money, but itâs not easy. Hope you can find a way.
From, Brokenwing.
Blue Fang studied the letter, then looked at Luna. As much as he would hate himself, he said, âwhat time what place?â
She smiled, âIâll take you there tomorrow.â And with that, she walked out of the room.
He just stared at the door, then he closed his eyes and the Void came back.
Blue Fang awoke from his sleep. Without much effort, he lazily rolled off the bed and laid on the ground. He looked at the ceiling for awhile before actually getting up. He walked over to the table that was set up in the room. He played a few Poker games by himself before Luna walked in.
âYou are one sad Changeling,â she said.
âI guess,â he replied using magic to stack the cards in a triangle shape. He learned how to play poker back in the academy. It wasnât a class, but more or less him and Brokenwing having what little fun they could seeing as how there was never really any fun in the Hive. The Hive was always so cold, damp, and wet, it was amazing the Changelings survived so long.
Luna smiled, âare you ready?â
âYeah, I guess.â
âAlright,â she than lit up her horn and teleported them to Ponyville.
âPonyville?â Blue Fang said confused, âare you sure that I should be here?â
âBut of course!â She replied walking him to a small building. When they opened it, they saw a big poker table set up with seats all around it.
âSheesh, all this for a poker game?â Blue Fang asked.
âYes, it seems I went a little overboard.â
Blue Fang walked to the table and took a seat. He played with the cards that were on the table, then the door opened. He looked up to see who it was. It was Applejack. He groaned as she walked to the table. They didnât say anything thing to each other as she sat down. Blue Fang as already had enough problems. He didnât need another. Finally, Applejack broke the silence, âYâknow, I still remember the time you tried to get Twilight to shoot me.â
He let out one of those scoff-laughs, âyeah, I remember too.â He looked at her for a minute, then the door opened again. Two Ponies stepped in, one red, and the other yellow. Applejack looked up.
âHey Big Mac and Applebloom,â she Greeted as they sat down.
âHiah big sis,â she replied, then she looked at Blue Fang, âis this who we goinâ against?â
âYep.â
Big Mac looked at his sister, âare you sure this is a good idea? I mean, heâs the most wanted Changeling of the gang.â
âTrust me, Iâll make sure he donât run off.â
Oh yeah, thatâll be a day to remember, he thought. He tried signaling the others. Kydra came on.
Blue Fang? Youâre alive!
âCourse Iâm alive.
Kydra laughed, then Brokenwing came on. Blue, weâre working on a plan to get you out.
Donât worry about me, I think I have a solution to the problem you have.
Lay it on us.
Okay, I got into this poker game, the prize? Six hundred bits. Weâll need to meet at the big building by Rarityâs shop at around fiveâo, and bring Zen
Alright, see you in a bit.
He cut the chatter and closed his eyes. âYou alright there Blue?â Applejack asked. He looked up, âyouâre awfully quiet.â
He sighed, âitâs nothinâ.â He stared at the clock. Just a little longer.

Blue Fang sat at the table. He looked at the three opponents he was playing. He looked down at his cards. Ace of Spades and Ten Diamonds. He looked at the Community Cards. The first card, Five Spades, was flipped. Applejack threw in one red chip, Blue Fang didnât throw any chips, Mac threw in one white chip, and Applebloom threw in three white chips. The next card was Three Hearts. Blue Fang, again didnât toss, Applejack threw in another red chip, Mac, like Blue Fang, didnât toss, and Applebloom threw in a blue chip. The next card was Four Spades. This time, Blue Fang threw in a red chip, Mac threw in a white, and Applebloom threw in a white. The next card was an Ace of Hearts. Applejack didnât throw in any chips, Blue Fang threw in a blue, Mac folded and threw down his cards, which revealed a Five Spades and a Two Spades, then Applebloomâs face lit up, and she riskingly went all in, sliding all her chips in. The final card was a Diamond King, and Applebloomâs face went grey. Applejack threw down her cards, a Black King and Ace of Hearts, Blue Fang threw his Ace of Spades and Ten Diamonds, and Applebloom threw the Ace of Diamond and Ace of Clubs. Applejack laughed as she slid all the chips to her side.
âBad judgement,â Applebloom muttered as she walked away.
Blue Fang looked at Twilight, who was keeping score.
Current score
Applejack: 331 bits
Blue Fang: 135 bits
Big Macintosh: 144 bits
Applebloom: Out
Applejack looked at him, grinning, âI ainât never lost a poker game in my life!â
He looked back at her. He decided to share a bit of knowledge with her, âmy brother once told me, âthe most dangerous thing besides the enemy is prideâ.â It was his turn to shuffle. He used his magic to shuffle the cards. Then he gave each Pony their respective cards. He looked at his cards. They were a Club King and Eight Clubs. The first card was Four Diamonds. No one threw in any chips. Next was a Nine Diamonds. This time, Blue Fang threw in one red chip and Big Mac threw in a blue chip. Next card was a Six Hearts. Again, nobody betted. Next card was Eight Spades. Blue Fang threw in a blue chip and no one else betted. The last card was Seven Hearts. Everyone threw down their cards. Blue Fang laughed as he slid the chips over. He checked the board again
Current Score
Applejack: 331
Blue Fang: 135
Big Mac: 134
Applebloom: Out
He nodded and gave the deck to Big Mac. He watch Big Mac shuffled the cards and then he passed them out. He looked at his cards. He had Seven Diamonds and Ace of Hearts. The first card was a Six Diamonds. Blue Fang threw in one red chip, Big Mac didnât throw in anything, and Applejack didnât throw any chips in either. The next card was Ace of Clubs. This time, Big Mac threw in a blue chip, Blue Fang threw in a red chip, and Applejack didnât throw in anything. The third was a Five Diamonds. Blue Fang threw in another red chip, Big Mac threw in five white chips, and Applejack didnât throw in anything. The fourth card was an Eight Diamonds. Blue Fang threw in a red chip, Applejack threw in nothing, and Big Mac went all in. Blue Fang looked at him with confusion. Was he trying the same strategy Applebloom was trying? The final card was a Six Hearts. They all threw their cards down. Blue Fang slid all the chips his way. He looked at the board now.
Current Score
Applejack: 331
Blue Fang: 269
Big Mac: Out
Applebloom: Out
Blue Fang sighed. It was all or nothing, and he knew it. He slid the cards over to Applejack so she could shuffle them. While she did, he closed his eyes and meditated. He cleared his mind and the world fell dark and silent. This was a feeling he liked, alone, with no one to bother him. He thought of strategies for the final round. He thought back to all the lessons Brokenwing taught him. Then one lesson came back to him.
Luna stared at Blue Fang. She wondered what was on his mind. Her sister looked at her. âIâm sure heâs fine,â she said.
Luna nodded, âshould I tell him when he gets the cards?â
âIf you want.â
But she need not bother, because as soon as Applejack gave Blue Fang his cards, his eyes flew open. He didnât even touch them, he just said, âIâm ready.â Applejack was really confused, but she started playing the game. The first card was Diamond King. He threw in a green chip. Applejack was stunned, and she threw in a blue chip. Next card was a Diamond Jack. Blue Fang threw in another green chip. Again this stunned his opponent, so she followed suit and threw in a green. The third card was Ten Diamonds. He threw in his one and only black chip. Applejack threw in a blue chip whilst looking real lost. The fourth card was Ace of Hearts. Blue Fang didnât bet, but Applejack threw in a blue chip. Before the next card was flipped, Blue Fang said, âall or nothing?â he slid all the chips in. Applejack smirked and slid all her chips in. Everypony gasped. The next card was Ace of Clubs. Applejack threw down her cards. Applejack threw down her cards, which were Heart King and Spade King.
âHa! Four of A Kind!â Applejack said as she slid the chips towards herself.
âHold up,â Blue Fang said. He flipped over his cards. Ace of Diamond and Diamond King. Applejacks jaw dropped so low, it couldâve fallen all the way to Tartarus. âRoyal Flush,â he said with a blank expression. He slid all the chips over to him. He got up and gave a slight bow and he walked away.
Blue Fang stood outside of the building. He waited for Luna or Celestia or Cadence to present him with the reward. Applejack came storming out of the building. âOkay, explain!â she said.
âExplain what?â he asked staring into space, if âstaring into spaceâ he expression Ponies used.
âHowâd you know them cards would win?!â
âLucky guess,â he replied. He felt somepony, or someponies. âI know your all right there.â They all stepped out from their position. He used CI to see if Kydra and Zenex were around. He saw two green silhouettes hiding in the trees.
He contacted them, you guys are here.
Kydra came on, alright, who should we send down.
Send Zenex, theyâd be seen as brutes if they attacked him.
Alright, Z, you ready?
Yeah.
Alright go.
He looked over to the bushes. He gave three blinks and Zenex jumped out of the bushes. âBlue Fang, are you sure you want to give the Bits to them?â Luna asked. He nodded. She looked sad, âIâd hate to see you go back to prison after all youâve done,â she lifted the bag, âsix hundred in bits, sound like a fair bounty?â
Blue Fang walked over to Zenex. Zenex reached his hoof out and gave Blue Fangs hoof a shake. âMake sure you arenât followed back.â Zenex nodded. He walked back to the Ponies. He walked past them, he looked back at Luna, âgive them him,â he said, then he walked in the direction of Canterlot, âit never was about the money.â
If the main OCs in this story were voiced, what would they sound like?
I still don't get it on how poker play but I know now on how the chips work, though I still don't recommend myself playing the game. Look like blue still plan on staying in canterlot, what's is he planning? And what the outcome of it. Hmmm. Its been a couple of chapters in and my favorite queen hasn't been seen or any info of her whereabouts, then again it will be hard to add her in the current situation. Hope to see more.

I imagine Blue Fang to have a gritty-dark voice, kinda like B.J Blazkowicz
Brokenwing would probably have a voice somewhat Jeffrey Pierce
Hivehunter would have a Hayden Christensen voice
Stinger would have a Giovanni Ribisi voice
Dagger would have a Matt Damon voice
Kydra would have... well... I really donât know. (What girl actor would fit her personality? Sigourney Weaver? Natalie Portman?)
Zenex would have a Jake Lloyd voice
Mantis would have a Ewan McGregor voice
Grubber would have whatever you think a cooks voice would be
Clover would have a Russell Richardson voice
Iâm not really sure about Arthrax and Hexâs voices
