//------------------------------// // Guy Hero VS Florida Man // Story: Grey Storm goes to Equestria // by Grey Storm //------------------------------// Guy Hero, enraged by the Secretary's death, shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice bouncing off the metallic walls and being amplified tenfold. His cream echoed in the ears of the soldiers, causing them to cringe, and for those few short seconds, someone might have even thought an earthquake was ravaging the lab. Anger, fury, hatred, all these emotions swarmed through Guy Hero as he stood, and looked at the portal. Grey Strom was on the other side. He had to pursue him, it was his destiny. Guy Hero lived for two reasons only: 1.) Be a badass guy, and 2.) kill all the evil on Earth. So far, he was doing pretty good on 1, but he couldn't call himself a hero until Grey Storm was brought to justice. He looked down around his wrist, his eyes locking with his keepsake bracelet. It was one of the few things showing his ancestry, given to him by his father, depicting his great-grandfather fighting the old gods at the moment of creation. He wanted to be like him, like Algamar Deathweapon IV. He closed his eyes, his vision becoming a dim glow from the industrial lights. He took a deep breath, and... Pow! Guy Hero toppled forward, colliding with the metal guard rail between him and the portal. In the impact, his glasses were knocked off, which fell to the lab floor, and shattered. He stood again, but... Kapash! A fist collided with Guy Hero's unprotected face, giving him reason to actually feel pain! And he didn't like it. He swung wildly, but his fist was met with a hard shell. PlaPowWow! Guy Hero was bombarded with fists, actually hurting him. He had never felt pain before, and it was agonizing! He couldn't get up, he could hardly operate without it staggering him again. He was in so much shock, the beating continued without him even being able to stop it. Shapow! Biff! Kaping! He was defenseless as he was pummeled into the ground. Then, all of a sudden, it stopped. He opened his eyes painfully, taking in the sight of his attacker: Florida Man. He held in one hand an Armadillo, and in the other, nothing. It was just a clenched fist. "F-florida M-man?" He was able to wheeze out, "H-how did you..." Florida Man put his foot over Guy Hero's mouth, silencing him, "These guards are useless. They know nothing about how easy it is to escape, if you have the blood of a box Jellyfish coursing through you. AHAHAHAHA!" He cackled madly, as his foot pressed further into Guy Hero's face. He had gotten the Element of Surprise, but Guy Hero still had his superhuman strength on his side. He grasped the foot with both his enormous black hands, and began pushing it away from him. In seconds, the red-clad foot as inches above Guy Hero's face, and with one final thrust, the mad laughing ended, and Florida Man toppled backward. Guy Hero got to his feet, and readied his Guitar machine-gun. "Not so fast, Guy Hero!" Florida Man shouted, as he shoved his hand down his tights, rummaged around a bit, and pulled out a viscous white fluid. "Take this!" He shouted, throwing the 'mysterious' liquid at Guy Hero. It seeped into his eyes, and he howled in pain again. He dropped his guitar, which fell to the floor with a clang. Before he realized what was going on, Florida Man had kicked his guitar away from him. It went under the guard rail, and fell to the lab floor below. All they could hear was a loud splintering sound as Guy Hero's Guitar was demolished. He stood again, wiping the stuff from his eye, and charge down Florida Man. With one well-placed superpunch to the gut, Guy Hero knocked the air right out of Florida Man, who fell to his knees. Guy Hero grasped his skull in his fist, and rose Florida Man high above the ground. He aimed his massive Black fist right for the villain's face. And then... Swish! Whoosh! Florida man sliced him again with his swordfish, and Guy Hero released him, in pain once more. Florida Man thrust and slashed at him over and over again, drawing more and more blood every time, until finally... "AGHACK!" Guy Hero shouted as the nose-sword-thing of the Swordfish dug deep into his chest, ad out his back. The tip glistened with Guy Hero's super-human blood. Florida Man pulled the swordfish back out, and Guy Hero staggered backward, resting his arm behind him on the guard rail overlooking the portal. Florida Man approached his incapacitated nemesis, and took the opportunity to gloat. "I told you, Guy Hero," he said, "I told you I'd be back, and more powerful than ever! You will rue the day you left us." "Never..." Guy Hero was able to wheeze out. "And why not?" Florida Man inquired teasingly. "Because," he said more fluently, rage guiding him to grab both sides of Florida Man's face, "I'm leaving this place." He looked over his shoulder to the portal, almost beckoning him in. "And you're coming, with me!" he grunted one last time as he leaped backward, over the guard rail, towing Florida Man with his enormous hands. The portal enveloped both hero and villain, and they were lost to Equestria. "Well, Grey Storm," Princess Luna said, guiding him away from the throne room and into the halls of Canterlot Castle. Celestia had deemed him neutral after a series of tests. It was uncanny, Grey storm, on the scale of 1(Chaotic Good) to 100 (Chaotic Evil), was the only being ever to score a perfect 50. Perfectly average. She had deemed him safe, and Luna was put in charge of showing him to his quarters in the Castle, until he can be processed and sent into the world. She continued, "Why are you here?" "Well," Grey Storm monotonely began, "I mean, I guess I came here to come here. I mean, I didn't do it willingly, but I guess I might have, given time." "Ooookay." Luna awkwardly said, "But that doesn't quite answer my question. Are you here for work? Immigration? Family?" "Nah," Grey Storm continued, "I'm just here because I came here. I don't really know what here is, but I guess I could become used to it." "Alright, then." Luna said, not quite sure if she'd gotten an answer, but eager to end the conversation either way. They continued silently for a while, Luna's hoofsteps echoing through he halls, and Grey Storm's padded Grey slippers making just a hair of a thump on the marble floor. Eventually, they came to a hallway, with eight doors on either side. "This," the Princess explained, "Is where we keep immigrants from other countries, or in your case, universes, to live while they're processed into society." She showed him his room, which he would be sharing with a rather large Pegasus Stallion. "This is your roommate," Luna said, "His name is Thunderwing, and he came here to escape the oppression of Leon Trotsky." Thunderwing looked at him, showing no sign of emotion, and said, "Hello, sir. May I ask who you are?" Luna answered, saying, "This is Grey Storm, Thunderwing, from another universe." "The same Universe that chubby ginger man came from?" "The very same!" "Welcome, Grey Storm." Thunderwing said, inviting his roommate inside, and presenting him a hoof. "Hey." Grey Storm mumbled, shaking the hand. It would be a long wait until they were processed, might as well get to know each other.
