//------------------------------// // PROLOGUE // Story: Equestrian Girls: Wonder Stories // by Kamen rider accel //------------------------------// In a strange world, full of mythical creatures, fantastic beasts, and strange wonders, stood a house above it all. Inside the house was a strange green-haired man with a handlebar mustache dressed in a flamboyant flowery tuxedo, a pink top hat, and a monocle. He was sitting at a table with a book in his hands, and a bird perched on his shoulder. He looked up, and waved to no one in particular. "Bonne lecture, readers!" he said. "My name is Tassel, and I'll be the narrator of this version of this story! And I have a question for you all- do you all love books?" "I, for one, LOVE THEM WITH ALL MY HEART!" Tassel shouted. "Books have all sorts of knowledge and experiences, unknown until you take a look inside!" Tassel took a different book on the table, and opened it, revealing it to be a history book of sorts. The first image was of another book, unassuming at first glance. "Long ago, the world of humans came into existence thanks to the Omniscient Tome, which contains all of the world's stories, knowledge, and even the history of humanity! Another world came into existence alongside this world, known as the Wonder World! This is where the Omniscient Tome was kept for ages, guarded by the Sword of Logos, a group of 22 swordsmen who wielded the Seiken, holy swords blessed with powers from the tome itself. But a traitor stood amidst them all!" He flipped the page, which revealed an artistic depiction of a war. "This traitor attempted to take the Omniscient Tome for themselves, and in the struggle between him, his coconspirators, and those loyal to the Sword of Logos' call, caused the book to become scattered! Split into fragments known as the Wonder Ride Books, each containing a different story and power from the Tome. A war was waged over these books in order to gather as much of the Omniscient Tome, and in the process, five of the Seiken were lost, and two were sealed away. This war still rages on, even to this day..." Tassel slammed the book shut. "But enough about that! The story we're about to see, follows a certain boy, his sister and some magical girls.... "Flashhhhhhhh!" a girl shouted, as a young Flash held her hand as tightly as he could.His little sister, scootaloo, clung onto his right leg, trying to help however she could by weighing the older boy down. Chaos was erupting around him. One second, he and his friends were reading a book together, the next, monsters appeared, a purple swordsman appeared leading them. People were panicking as fire and paper flew around, and a giant book-like portal had opened above them, pulling in only the girl. Flash had grabbed wrapped his left arm around a nearby tree to anchor himself down and grabbed her hand with his right. "Luna! Hold on!" Flash cried, struggling to keep his grip on her hand and pull her towards him. "Don't let go of my hand!" It was a losing battle, however. Flash's hand wasn't strong enough to hold her down. Her fingers were slipping, until they were holding each other by the pinky. "I... I promise I'll save you!" Flash said, realizing that there wasn't going to be any way for him to keep the book from taking her. "I'll... I'll become big and strong, and I'll come and find you! I promise!" "I- I believe you! Flashhhhhhhhh!" Luna screamed, as they finally lost their grip. She disappeared into the book, which shut tight, and vanished into thin air. Flash and his sister didn't have any time to mourn, however, as the purple swordsman came walking towards them, his gold serrated sword in hand. Before he could do anything, a red swordsman rushed in, blocking him with his silver and red sword. The two swordsmen traded slashes, parried each other's blades, as fire and shadows collided with one another. The force of their attacks knocked the two siblings onto their butts, as they watched the two warriors battle. The purple swordsman managed to land a strike against the red swordsman's chest, giving him the opening he needed to deliver slash after slash against his opponent, before finally delivering one more strike. The red swordsman cried out as he was sent flying back, his armor disappearing in a burst of red sparks before he landed near Flash and Scott. He forced himself up, only to collapse on one knee, holding onto his sword as he planted it into the ground. The man breathed heavily, as he gave a defiant stare to the purple swordsman. "Have you had enough?" the purple swordsman asked, staring at the downed fighter. "I'm... not giving up!" the man responded. He looked to the two siblings, who were staring in awe at him. "Steel yourselves, and take heart. For hope is in every story!" The man yelled as he pulled his sword up. It burned bright as a red fire formed around the blade, and he planted it into the ground again. A sphere of red fire and light erupted around them. The two siblings opened their eyes, and looked around. The buildings, ground, everything was normal and fine, and people were going about their day. Flash then realized that something was in his hand, and he looked at it. It was a strange metal red book, with the title 'Brave Dragon'. Flash rubbed his head. He was certain that something had just happened- A teen opened his eyes as he see the alarm clock buzzing. The teen reached and hit snooze. The teen then got up and yawned he revealed to be a orange and yellow skin boy with blue hair. It revealed to be a Flash sentry. "Man that dream again" he said as he got up and went to change after changing he went to grab his bag but stopped as he went and grabbed a little red metal book the same from his dream."Don't know why but the dreams always show something" he said. He then put it in his pocket and grabbed his bag and went down stairs. Unknown to him soon he will be getting a big of shock soon.
