//------------------------------// // Tony Hawk: Pro Skater // Story: X in Equestria // by RoseluckyCinor //------------------------------// Tony Hawk, pro skater One day, in Equestria, the clouds in the sky parted and grinding the air to the grounds of Canterlot came Tony Hawk, Pro Skater. “Hark,” he said, “I have travelled long and far for a land that would hold my moves that are truly sick.” The great ruler Celestia came before him. “Who are you?” she asked. Tony let out an endearing smile, winning the hearts of the entire crowd. “Oh, I’m sorry.” “It is okay, my child. I only wish to find a place where I can show the most brutal of moves on my board. Do you know of such a place? After my years of grinding have I finally reached it?” “What are these moves of which you speak?” asked Celestia. Tony nodded his head and donned his helmet. Of all pro skaters, he knew that safety truly was important. With a running lunge he began to ride his board over the cobblestone streets of Canterlot. Starting off with a 720 kickflip he dazzled the crowd. He ollied onto a railing and began a righteous chain of 50-50s and Forward Boardslides. Finally he landed back in front of Celestia. “These are the moves I speak of. Earth can no longer support me and my moves. I required somewhere new,” he exclaimed. Celestia bowed her head lightly. “We shall begin the construction of a skate park; one that can match the glory of the Hawk.” She ran off and gathered her architects. Yet Tony was not happy. “I know what I need,” he muttered, “I must acquire a bodacious babe with which I can share the radical-ness of my moves.” Using his mighty Hawk Powers, he started to search for a babe of appropriate levels. One day as he rode into a small town, not too far from Canterlot, he saw her. She was the epitome of bodacious. He manualed up to her and went to one knee. “My babe, I must beseech you. Will you, in fact, be my babe?” he asked. The pegasus, whose name was Rainbow Dash, looked at him puzzled. “Why should I do that? You don’t seem so have the x-factor I need in mate,” she replied. “Fly me into the air and drop me, I shall show you x-factor.” She did so. At one thousand feet she dropped the pro skater. At first he did nothing, but then, he began to corkscrew, 180, 360, 1080, 2058, his spins became faster and faster. Then he began to increase his game. Watermelons and Japan Airs graced the skies of Equestria that day. Anyone who saw would have told of the days for generations to come. He landed in front of the flabbergasted pegasus. “That… was… awesome!” she exclaimed. He nodded slowly. “Will you do it, Rainbow Dash? Will you be my babe?” She leapt at him and held him tightly. “Of course I will!” This pleased the Hawk. It took two days for Celestia to find The Hawk and Rainbow practicing together. “It is done,” she said. “Show me,” muttered Tony. She showed him. She had constructed a half-pipe that extended 2 miles into the air, but that was the least of the skate park. It also included an empty pool the size of oceans, and plenty of ramps and inverts. “This pleases me, Celestia.” Tony grabbed his board and all three flew to the stop of the half-pipe. Twilight was there already. “Tony, I have to warn you!” she yelled. “What is it, bro?” he asked. “According to my studies, the awesome index included with righteousness means that the moves you make on this pipe will be too sick!” He rubbed her head a little. “I can contain the sickness, I know I can.” Tony took his place at the lip of the pipe. Rainbow flew up to him and planted a gnarly kiss on him. Tony began the descent. He picked up speed faster and faster. Soon he attained the speed that few skaters know, the speed which can only be described as mad sketchy. Tony felt the intense urge to bail, but he held through until the rise. His sketchy speed held and soon he was rocketing towards space. It was time for Tony to unleash the gnarliest trick of all. A Boneless No Comply with a 50000 kick flip mixed with a pop-shove-it and an Impossible. As he completed the miraculous trick, everything disappeared. The known universe was not ready for a trick of such power, such radicalness, and such righteousness.
