//------------------------------// // Introducing: The OCs! [Edited] // Story: The Misadventures of Blazing "Inferno" Justice // by Blazing Justice //------------------------------// Let me clear this up real quick. This chapter was suggested by my friends and peers. I put no history into Rhino, Atom, and Myself. So this chapter introduces the OC's! Hoorah! I wanted to do this differently, but decided it was a bad idea. I deleted the last chapter because it would have clashed with this one. So, ENJOY! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Prologue ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Fire... Fire everywhere... My home was burning down before me like a flaming meteor hit it, but in reality, a small log fell out of the hearth, and I ran out of the house. It sounds crazy, a five year old pegasus colt, running out of his parents house while a fire tears the place apart. The flames, growing ever so quickly, were dark orange. All I can do is stand here and watch, as my house, my memories, my parents burn right in front of my eyes. At this time, the fire department came to put the fire out. They started searching the house for my parents. One hour later, after a thorough search of the house, my parents burnt bodies were found in their room. Living in Canterlot, I had no family near me to take me in. So, I went to my best friend, Rhino, for some help. His family, being as amazingly generous as they were, took me in and raised me in their family. But I still have a problem. My parents where earth ponies, and Rhino's parents where unicorns. So, me being a pegasus, wanted to learn to fly. Well, that didn't happen. I am learning earth pony traits, and I can't fly. I'm Blazing Justice, and this is my story. 1 Year Later.... "Come on Rhino, we have to go! We can't be late for the first day of school!" I yelled at the top of my lungs to my roommate and stepbrother. "I'm coming!" He yelled back, obviously annoyed that I was so impatient. He came down wearing his trademark black watch. Snazzy, I must say. "It took you forty minutes to put on a watch?!" I yell at him, annoyed. "What can I say? This watch makes me. I also took a shower." He replies plainly. "Ugh... We're gonna be right on time if we leave..." I check my watch, "Now. Let's go!" And with that, we set off at a run towards the school for gifted fillies and colts. What can I say? We're smart. While our other friend, Atom, isn't as smart as we are, he makes up for it in combat skill. He can slice a tree clean in half with Whispering Breeze, his family sword hilt. We got to the school one minute before the teacher started class. I looked at Rhino as he took his seat, grinning like an idiot, ready to learn. I facehoofed, thinking we were gonna get bullies and stuff hunting us down like a pack of timberwolves. Fortunately, he noticed before anypony else and stopped, now grinning sheepishly for his stupidity. "Let's just get through today, then you can smile like a vampony at a blood drive." I said, adding that little joke at the end. "Yeah, I guess." Right then, I had a vision. Not like an artistic vision, but a "predict the future" kinda vision. My mind became all hazy, and I fell onto my side. I could vaguely hear a collective gasp, but my mind was too shorted out to process it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Mom?! Mom, come on, stay with me! You can't die now! We need you!" I heard Rhino in the distance crying, and a mare comforting him. "Please... mom... you've taken... harder hits... than that! You can... pull through!" I said between sobs. It was then that I felt a cold hoof on my shoulder. My mother's hoof. "Be brave... Blaze..." She said with a wheeze. "I need... you to promise... me something...." She said as her breath came in convulsions of air. "Anything! Just... tell me what it is..." I said softly. "Promise me..." a wheeze, "You will..." another wheeze. No.... "Protect the family..." she finished weakly. "Protect Rhino, your father, and yourself... I will... watch over you... Be brave, Blazing Justice..." "Don't worry... mom..." I said, sobbing again. "Nopony will EVER hurt our family again!" I said bravely, yet weakly at the same time. "I promise..." and with her final strength, she managed to make a warm smile up at me, and her hoof slowly slid off my shoulder. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I gasped as I came to. The horrible realization sunk in as I deciphered what I saw. "You okay, Blaze?" came the familiar, concerned voice of Rhino. "You randomly passed out." "Yeah I'm fine, but we need to talk. Hey, teacher? I need to talk to my brother for a sec. Is that okay?" I asked the teacher. He just grunted in response. "Thanks." As we went into the hall, Rhino went full doctor on me. "Are you okay? You fell and hit your head. Then you passed out and woke up fifteen minutes later. That's not normal for you, Blaze." "I had a vision." Rhino stopped checking, looked and gave me his undivided attention. "I saw you, mom, and some other mare that seemed vaguely familiar. But I'm telling you now, I think there's a problem." "Okay, is it bad?" He asked. "Uh... Yeah." I said, worried how he might take this news. "Okay, how about we deal with it later. Obviously it's not happening now, so let's talk after school." He said. "Alright. Later." I say with a determined tone. We walked back into class, and the teacher began.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "And so begins the life of: Blazing Justice." I read to my adorable children, Flame Spectrum and Prism Glow. The pegasus filly, Prism, asked excitedly, "Can you read more daddy?" The pegasus colt, Flame, added, "Yeah, read more daddy!" "No kids, it's time for bed." And from the kitchen of our home, stepped out the most beautiful mare I have ever laid eyes on. My wife, Rainbow Dash. "Come on, now." "Awwwww.... But we want to hear more of daddy's stories!" Flame whined. "Come on, Flame. Tomorrow night, okay? Your Mother and I are gonna go to bed now." after that last part, I wiggled my brows to Dash. The look on her face. "Okay, goodnight mommy and daddy." The kids spoke at the same time. "Goodnight, kids." As I tuck them in, Dash adds, "And actually sleep this time!" I chuckle when I climb into bed with Dash, as she cuddles closer to me. "Goodnight, Dash. I love you." I said to my wife with a loving voice. "Goodnight, Blaze. Love you too." She said closing her eyes, smiling beautifully as always.
