//------------------------------// // Chapter 5 - Elements // Story: Adventurers in Equestria // by MarcusFirehaven //------------------------------// The next day Twilight Sparkle and her friends were walking through Canterlot Castle to the Day Court. "I can't wait to meet the heroes that the Princess told us about in that letter!" Twilight said. "We don't even know much about them." Rainbow Dash said. "What if everything they said was a lie?" "Dashie!" Pinkie said, "The princess knows what she is doing, and a friend of the princesses is a friend of mine!" She said as she balanced on her rear hooves to put one hoof in the air to add emphasis, "Let's go!" Pinkie opened the door (still on her rear hooves, mind you), and saw Daemon doing the same thing as her with the other dood in perfect mirror of her down to excited grin. Ten their eyes narrowed as their faces went very serious, then they, still mirroring eachother, started doing a robot dance. after that, they leaned toward eachother and away, then made a face that practixally screams 'screw it', and then did Carmell-Dansen or however it is spelled. Everybody looking on were confused. Then Daemon and Pinkie burst into laughter. Celestia then said "Those two seem to be getting along well." The others entered the room and saw the other three adventurers. Rariyy was mostly intrigued bybtheir outfits/armor, Rainbow was curious about how fast they could fly with their wings, Pinkie was still Carmell-Dansen with Daemon, Fluttershy was... Fluttershy, Twilight was more intrigued by the wizard known as SkySummon,, and Applejack was eyeing the weapons with caution. Omniblade noticed her noticing his blade, and made it go away. The others did so as well, except for Tsunami, who just hoisted her egashark above her head and said "This... is my MEGASHARK!" Daemon and Pinkie were juggling random things now, Pinkie a bunch of candy, cupcakes, and a slice of normal cake, Daemon juggled his sword, chainsaw, and repeater. "Daemon!" Omniblade said, "Stop jugging your weaponry and introduce yourself!" "Okay, my name is Daemon." He said. After quick introductions, Daemon made his weapons go back to hammerspace (except the sword, that went onto his back). Celestia then stated "I actually called you siz here for another reason, come this way." Celestia lead them down into a cave (it was ten minutes of odd silence I did not want to write up until then), which was likely made by renovations, "You see, we found this chest that has a lock we can't seem to open no matter what. I was hoping you six could find a way to do that." They entered the room and the group saw a dark chest with a lock on it. Daemon just walked up to it and put in his shadow key, then did what we all do, LOOT IT! "I should have seen that coming." Luna said as she walked over to the adventurer looting the chest. "So, what's in it?" "Legendary Marumasa, dynamite, magic mirror, a Suspicious Eye, Shine Potion, and *GAAAAAAAASP*!" He turned around, revealing he had somehow in the time it took to turn around put on an Adamantine Fedora, "SWAG!" He still has that visual effect that a full set of Adamantine Armor gives. Luna took the Marumasa... because... awesome. "A Suspicious Eye? What's that?" Twilight asked. "It summons down the Eye of Cthulhu! A giant eyeball that shoots out littler eyeballs that attack you and it also rams you!" Daemon exclaimed in a dramatic way, then put on a bored face and said "I have like, twelve already." Then he threw it over his shoulder. It bounced off the floor with a suspicious sounding squelch. That suspicious part is because it is a suspicious eye, get it? Aw, screw you. Daemon then accidentaly stepped on a pressure plate that was in front of the chest that he missed on the way to the chest and several boulders fell from the cieling, and hit him. the first two made him look dizzy (complete with 6_9 eyes), the third made him explode into bits, frightening the Elements, and possibly traumatizing Fluttershy. The others did not react with shock, but of minor annoyance. "Hey Sky, can you TP Daemon here… I think he will get lost." Tsunami asked Sky. Sky was about to, but Daemon apparently knew where he was going, and was sneaking in. "BOO!" he shouted, making all but the other Terrarians to reflexively jump... except for Applejack, who he was behind, who bucked. The crack made from the hit made the other two males flinch in horror. "MY ANATOMY!" Daemon exclaimed in pain. Aplejack was confused as to where she had bucked to get such a reaction, then realized where she bucked. "Ah'm sorry!" Applejack said to the prone Daemon. "It's okay, this has to be the third time it has ever happened accidentally, and like the twentieth overall. I am pretty sure the falling over in pain is just a natural reflex at this point. I am okay." Daemon said. "I never planned on having kids in the first place." "Ah am SO sorry!" Applejack said as she helped Daemon up. "We should probably get out of here before he ends up a woman." Sky said. "But I don't want to be the only girl in the group!" Tsunami said, eliciting a glare from everyone. "What?"
