Celestia looked sadly at the audience as she shuffled through the stack of papers with her magic.
“Zekrom has come up with a new method. Everyone including him hates to have to do this, but it’s for the good of everything OC Battle stands for. We are cutting not only the button, but the mailbox as well,” she sighed. “Now, I just read their descriptions and they’re already sent in.”he whole audience moaned in depression. Cadence then walked onstage with a large toothy grin.
“There is also good news viewers! Since we sold the mailbox and button we can not only get more OCs in at a time, but since Zekrom was feeling nice he actually added something to the hotel!” She .
“Wait, what?” Celestia asked confused.
“Don’t worry about it. You weren’t at that meeting anyway.”
“Oh . . .” Celestia then cleared her throat and the TV cut on.
Celestia began reading the paper.
“This is-” she then looked at the screen. “Holy sh-”
“No cussing,” Cadence warned.
“BUT LOOK AT HOW ABNORMAL THIS GUY IS!” Celestia exclaimed. Cadence took a look at the screen. She went wide eyed and her jaw fell.
“He’s wearing a bucket . . . on his head . . .” She trailed off.
“Let’s just get this over with,” Celestia said.
“The Bucket . . . man was made by jolan5 and is a human man with a bucket on his head. He is good with hand to hand combat and can use anything as a blunt weapon. He always wears a jacket with tons of pockets, having anything from cupcakes to pens and paper, but he never has anything lethal in it like a gun.”
They redirected their eyes to the screen again. A muffled yawn was heard. He swiveled his head around and quickly felt the pockets within his jacket. He pulled out a ball and laid down on the bed, then began to bounce it off the wall and catch it. As he bounced it he turned his head and a tray of beers was beside his bed. He picked one up and the TV shut off.
“He can buckin’ see . . . HOW?!” they said in unison.
“Maybe the next one won’t be as . . . jarring,” Cadence tried to reassure. Celestia shuffled through the papers again and the TV cut on, revealing an earth pony colt who couldn’t be a day over nine. He had a white coat, green eyes, and a light blue mad scientist type mane with a lab coat and goggles slightly above his eyes.
“This is Nutball, or Dr. Terrible. He was created by Discorded SheepcityUSA and is an orphan. He lives in a junkyard and plans to take over the world. He's an inventor and is constantly making machines using the stuff he finds within his home. The only thing that actually works is a mech of sorts and a death ray which is actually just a squirt gun with raw sewage,” she read aloud. They then looked at the screen again.
“Where the heck am I? The government must’ve put me here to torture me! They’ll pay for this!” He angrily rummaged through his lab coat and pulled out his death ray using his mouth and stormed out the door.
“Come on . . . Why are we getting these monstrosi-” Celestia then got hit in the face with a marshmallow.
“Huh, I was expecting something more volatile.” She brushed it off.
“Okay, I believe there were two more of these,” she said shuffling the papers some more.
“Aha! Here it is!” The TV turned on and there lay a red pegasus with a dark red mane and orange eyes.
“This is Scarlet Blur, or Scar, and he was made by mr.myxsiple. He is an amazing flier. He has the ability to grow and shrink his wings at will.”
They looked at the TV screen and he woke up.
“Great, I don’t know where I am.” He sighed. He angrily walked outside the room grumbling, and the TV cut off.
"One last one, aaannnddd, here it is." The TV turned on and on the bed was a changeling. It woke up and looked around cautiously. It then jumped on the ground, but the strange thing was that it landed upright and was standing. It didn't have hooves, instead having claws with two toe like things. It looked around again and changed to a gryphon that was on all fours with a strange metallic cannon on it's right front leg. THe TV then cut off
"This is Ink Sword. He is a former changeling assassin who now works as a gryffon defense attorney. When he's in changeling form he can use basic unicorn spells - teleport, shield, illumination and levitation - and can mutate in different ways to give him an advantage in combat. In his gryffon form he has a cannon on his right foreleg that can shoot anything from a missile to a grappling hook, and on his other claw is a sword that can retract and extend outside of his body. When it is retracted it slowly heals him, but when it isn’t it is a huge three feet ningakin sword," Celestia explained, “all right, now that we have seven contestants, we can now introduce something that will be important to the contestants with loved ones." Celestia then summoned a book with a picture of a phone on the cover. ”This is a Book Ex Machina, and contestants can use it to chat with their loved ones or with other contestants if they're both using it. Each contestant has one in their room that they can use,”
“Seems like we’re done for today,” Cadence said.
“Yep” Celestia replied.
“Want to go and talk about OTPs for the Battle?” Cadence asked.
“Sure,” Celestia replied, and they left the stage.
"OBJECTION!" yelled the audience. "Is he an Ace Attorney?" asked an audience member
"HOLD IT! Possibly . . . none of us made the OC," Cadence replied
