//------------------------------// // The Magnificent Tiwsted Fate! part 1 // Story: Twisted Jinxing // by Foxaholic //------------------------------// ~Runeterra, Piltover~ ~Tobias Foxtrot a.k.a. Twisted Fate POV~ I was running trough the alleys of Piltover trying to not be found by his old friend turned enemy, Graves. And speaking of the devil... "Tobias... Come out... Why won't you come greet your old friend? You sly bastard..." Graves said, full of anger. 'I sure got in a bit of a pinch this time around...' I thought as I was walking trough the back alleys, but then I saw a weird store, which I entered. Inside there was a creepy merchant who gave me a feeling I was all too familiar with. 'Oh? What do we have here? This feeling... teleportation magic...huh? It's a really strong... Way stronger then mine... This will be interesting.' I got closer, my grin slowly growing. "Hello there, good man! Would you like to buy something from my humble shop?" The merchant said with a smile. "Ah cut the crap! C'mom, tell little me what's with ya'? Normal merchants don't stink of dimensional magic! What kind of fool do ya' take me for?!" 'Does he not know who I am? Is that even possible?' The merchant chuckled. "Oh seems like you know something about dimensional magic... Not bad kiddo... But if you do, why are you here then? Oh... I know... You desire my services... Don't you?" The merchant started chuckling. "Depends... Can ya' get me the hell out of here?" I was desperate... I had to get out of here before Graves blew my head into a milion pieces. The merchant raised an eyebrow. "But why would you want that? What's wrong with this place?" "I am wanted in every god damn city, town and village, and an old friend of mine tries to blow my head off with a shotgun. Of course I wanna get the hell out of here!" "Alright, alright, calm down. I can help you..." the merchant puts a card with a sun and a moon on it on the table "Here, this will get you to a different planet called 'Equus'." "Thank ya' kindly." I try to take the card but he takes it back, which makes me groan in annoyance. "Ah what do ya' want?" The merchant smiles. "A bag of gold, of course! You won't need it there anyway." "Fine..." I give him a bag. "Don't try to fool me, boy. Give me gold, not wood." I groan again. And hand him a bag of gold, but don't let go of it. "Give it already... don't test me" The merchant pulls out a microphone. "To the man named Graves," His voice echoes all over Piltover. My eyes widen. "Ok ok I got it!" I let go of the bag. "Just give me the god damn card already!" The merchant smiles. "Here you go, hope you'll enjoy living with ponies from now on." "Yeah yeah." I say as I use my magic on the card and start teleporting. "Wait. Ponies? Aww shit...". Then everything went black. ~Equus, Equestria, Canterlot~ ~Celestia POV~ "Ah... what a wonderful day... we finally got Discord back to stone... it's so quiet and nice..." *KABOOOOOOOOOM* "Ah... god dammit... I just had to open my mouth..." ~Tobias POV~ "HOLY FUCKING SHIT." I say as my gorgeous face hit the hard ground. "I swear to god, this card needs to be fixed, cuz this is not how ya' should be teleported..." I start looking around and realize that I am in something that looked like a bank... "Cha ching!". And what do I see? Gold coins everywhere. "Seems like Lady Luck is smiling today." I then put all the coins in my coat, don't question it, just go with it. "Stop right there! Put the money back, Thief!" I hear 3 voices say in union. I turn around at the source of the voice, but what I see surprises me. "Horses? What the fuck? Why the actual flying fuck are ya' wearing gold armor?! Nope no way I'm letting ya' go." "What are you-" I cut him off by trowing 3 gold cards at the group making them fall unconscious. "Huh... stronger than usual..." I then procede to take the gold armor and weapons off of them and put them in my coat along with all the gold coins in this place. ~Celestia POV~ As I was wondering what that explosion was all about one of my little guards rushed in and saluted. "Princess! One of the royal treasures has been stolen!". I raise an eyebrow at this. "What about the guards guarding it?". I hope nothing bad happened to them. "They were found unconscious, your highness!" "Do you have any idea what happened? Like who might have stolen the bits?" "Well...". The guard started looking around the room before sighing. "Kinda... all we found is this." He hands me a card. I grab the card with my magic and take a closer look at it. It reads:'Prepare for my next magic show! - The Magnificent Twisted Fate!' "So the one at fault goes by the name of 'The Magnificent Twisted Fate'?". "Seems like that, your highness." "Tell the guards to be careful and double the guards guarding royal treasures, and try to catch the criminal." I smiled gently. "Yes, princess!". The guard rushed out to fulfill his duty. ~Tobias POV~ 'So apparently I'm in a place full of pastel colored talking horses, unicorns and god damn pegassi. Well... could have been worse, like get sent to the void with those ugly fuckers. At least Graves isn't here! That's a big plus! Now... What to do... Aha! I know!' I change my clothes into the ones for 'The Magnificent Twisted Fate'. "Let's show those horses some card tricks...". I chuckle darkly as I walk trough a dark alley, contemplating my master plan. After a while I notice that the number of 'guards', if you can even call them that, I just heard some of the horses call them that, have doubled, also these horses apparently call themselves ponies. Weird huh? Anyway, 'borrowing' stuff will be a lot harder, so let's go to that stupidly shiny castle, or better, into it's gardens! I feel some strong magic there, I wonder what it is? When I arrive in the gardens I notice multiple things, the first being that it's way too fucking colorful, and the second being that there are a lot of weird statues here, especially the chimera one that keeps staring at me... wait a minute... "Oh? This is a surprise! I did not expect any visitors today, but oh well, can you tell me who are you?". I heard a voice in my head say. "Let me guess, ya' are the creepy statue who keeps staring at me right?". I ask hoping that I haven't gone insane. "You guessed it! Now mind if you tell me who and what are you?" Hmm... telling it my actual name would be a bad idea... let's just go with my alias. "I'm Twisted Fate, the biggest charmer in the entire univers! As for what I am, I am human. What are you tough?" "Never heard of you or your race. As for me, my name is Discord, spirit of chaos and disharmony, and I am a draconequus." "Ya' look like something that Jinx would draw, mate. No offence." "Ah it's fine, I've been called worse.". I hear him sigh internally, which is kinda weird. "So why are ya' in stone?" "A long story..." ~A long flashback later~ "I gotta say, that was a dumb idea." I say chuckling. "Yeah... well it's not like I could have killed them! I'd lose my powers otherwise.". He said looking a little depressed, as depressed as a statue can get. "True, but ya' don't seem like that bad of a guy...". 'Should I help him escape? Hmm... Yeah probably.' I start looking trough my jacket. "I know right? Hey... what are you doing?". He asks as I pull out a weird silver card. 'This should work.'. "Don't forget, ya' owe me for this." I say as I throw the card at his face. The statue starts cracking until it explodes into thousand of small pieces. "Oh thank you so much!" He smiles warmly. I chuckle. "Now, now, we should get outta here, cuz from what you told me Sunbutt and Moonbutt should be arriving soon along with 10 milion guards." "Good point." He snaps his fingers as they teleport away leaving only confetti behind. ~Celestia POV~ "Oh no..." 'No, no, no this can't be happening! How did he get out already?! It hasn't even been a full day!'. "Umm... Tia... should we tell the elements?" Lulu asks worried. "Yeah... that would be the best course of action... Wait what's that?" I pick up a card which reads: 'Don't miss my new show! - The Magnificent Twisted Fate!'. 'The same as the one at the robbery?!' "Also Lulu, tell them that someone's with Discord, someone who is full of tricks..." "As you say, Tia.". Said Lulu as she got a scroll and started writing. "Please be careful Twilight...". I mutter to myself.
