//------------------------------// // Interlude: A Silly Placeholder Chapter // Story: Deus Ex: Equestria // by Jar of Dirt //------------------------------// WIth a big boom, Adam Jensen appeared out of nowhere and landed flat on his face. He stood up and brushed the dirt off himself. "I never asked for this." He made his way to the town of Ponyville, where he was approached by Twilight Sparkle and her friends. "Greetings, mysterious creature with a sexy voice! You come in times of great need. Discord, the spirit of chaos has been set free from his stone prison! Will you please help us defeat him." Adam shrugged. "Sure. I'm used to fighting against sociopathic spiteful old men at this point. Where can I find him?" At this point, a chariot swooped down from the sky and a beautiful white alicorn stepped out from it. "Greetings, I am princess Celestia, ruler of Equestria. I implore you to help my people in our time of need." Adam smirked confidently. "Anything for you, your radiance." The princess blushed profusely while half of Ponyville's female population fainted. "Lead the way." As they arrived in Canterlot, they were confronted by Discord, who had turned the entire city into a giant cake. "Hahaha!" He cackled evilly. "You will never defeat me, you little sissy ponies! I have your precious elements now!" Everyone let out a gasp as he raised the box containing the magical artifacts in plain view. "You will never get away with this Discord!" Twilight yelled. "I thought we were friends..." A brokenhearted Fluttershy sniffed. "Hah! You thought wrong!" He smirked. "Now I am free from the influence of your silly friendship magic, and the world is mine to toy with!" "Not so fast." Adam said. "I will stop you." "Hah, I'd like to see you try, you oversized chrome monkey!" "Ladies first, you failed jigsaw puzzle." This made Discord very angry. He launched balls of magic in Adam's direction, but the latter dodged them all with ease. He then brought his stun gun out and twirled it expertly around his finger before zapping Discord, who dropped the Elements in his paralysis. "No!" He wailed. "How could you possibly be more awesome than me!" "Now girls!" The elements fired their rainbow beam at Discord, who flew through the air and became but a white speck in the sky. "Teach me your ways masteeeeeeeeer!..." Everypony cheered as Adam was hailed the hero of the day. "Oh Adam," Celestia swooned. "You bravery knows no bounds and I have fallen head over hooves for you! Please become my beloved and whisper sweet nothings into my ear with that sexy sexy voice of yours. I love you!" "I love you too Celestia, for you are the only one who loves me for who I am and not for my usefulness to a cause. You look past the cold shell that is my body and found my beating heart," he confessed as he held her in a tight embrace. Later that night, they proceeded to make hot, passionate interspecies love- [h+] "Sister, what are you doing?" "Wah!" Celestia jumped in fright at Luna's sudden arrival. "Luna, how many times have I reminded you to knock before entering?" "I was just curious to the reason you decided to stay up so late at your desk." Celestia shuffled nervously and shot her sister a sheepish smile. "Oh... Nothing important. Just some... Paperwork! Yes that's it, paperwork! The construction budget for Cloudsdale needed some revising, haha..." Luna quirked an eyebrow at the sun princess' odd behavior but eventually let go of her curiosity. "I hope you don't stay up too late then sister. Have a good night." "You too." As Luna closed the door with a comforting click. Celestia let out a sigh of relief she didn't knew she had held in. Too close. Now, about that piece I wrote...
