---POV: JERICHO---
"Wohoooo!" I shouted out as I threw my hands up in the air. My cheer was greeted by our opponents slamming their fists in the frustration of losing.
We were playing a two on two custom in League of Legends at our usual Internet Cafe. We sliced through them like Swiss Cheese.
"God damnit!"
"Now now darlings. Don't fret, if it's any consolation you weren't that terrible." My friend Samson said.
Samson is my best friend and dou partner in ranked games. We usually bet our money against other players.
He is... Gay... Both happy and in between both genders. He wants to be refered as Samantha though. Sexuality doesn't matter, we just flattened those chumps anyways!
"You guys should practice more. How did you guys even reach gold rank?" I said as I grabbed the money. "Let's go Sam." I said as I pocketed the money and turned around. Only to be grabbed by my arm. I turned around and it was one of the guys we beat.
"Hey! Where are you punks going, eh?" I tried to shake his arm off but he had a iron grip.
"Home you idiot!" I replied.
"Sorry dear but we are... Apparently late for something..." My friend quickly chimed in. "We can have a rematch another time." He quickly added while stroking his hair.
"You ain't going anywhere with our money." The other replied. This is not going to end well...
"We won that money! All or nothing you idiots!" I snapped back. But it looks like they have other plans...
"Yeah, and we pick all of the money kid." The one who had the grip on my arm stated. I'm not giving up my money!
Okay. Simple, sucker punch him and get the hell out of here. "Okay here." I shook his hand off and I pretended to grab the wad of cash in my pocket. I then balled my hand into a fist and punched him as hard I could.
"Run!" As he staggered back and his companion went to him I grabbed Sam and turned tail. "Run!" Dragging him/her we ran out of the Internet Cafe, moments later the two guy started chasing us.
"Come back here punk!" The guy I punched shouted, sporting a bleeding nose.
"Imma gonna beat the shit out of you!" The other one shouted.
"My hair! My outfit!" Sam wailed out as I let go of him/her. Damn, she runs fast! I guess all of the training for the volleyball help him/her. Unfortunately, it doesn't help me.
"Just run you idiot! We are not going to look good when they're done with us!" I shouted back. I was running with my hands up in the air.
I'm still a virgin! I don't wanna die! I knocked down several trash cans as we ran. The clanging of said trash cans were soon accompanied by the sweet sound of crashing like idiots.
"FAGS!!! So long suckers!" I shouted as I turned around and gave them a mock salute. We then continued running.
We probably ran for quite a long distance. We then retreated to a nearby alley to split the money. I was absolutely winded, I feel like my heart is going to burst. Samson on the other hand didn't look tired at all. In fact she/he was smiling in amusement.
I was huffing and puffing in exhaustion. "*pant pant* We lost them... *pant pant*" I then soon regained my breath.
"Jericho dear, you should exercise more. It is the reason why I look so... Vibrant! So, fabulous!" She/he said.
I on the other hand was ignoring him/her and splitting the money that we won. "18,19,20!" I exclaimed. I then handed her/him her share. "Now, here's your share." I then pocketed the rest.
"They were... Violent. Sore losers." She/he commented.
"We won that money fair and square! The nerve!" I then kicked a nearby trashcan.
"Jericho, we have to skip that place for a while." I then turned to her/him. "A week or so." She/he stated as she/he combed her hair.
Damn, I'm almost diamond! At least I can still play at home. "I'll give it a week. They probably have the memories of a goldfish anyways." I said with a smirk.
"Memory of a goldfish, eh?" I froze as I saw the two guys from earlier. I gulped and looked over to Sam only to see him/her climbing the fence.
The fucker! As they started to run towards me I frantically tried to climb the fence. "Help me!" He/she was already on top, I extended my arm and he/she pulled me up. I was then pulled down and tossed me at a bunch of stuff. "Ooof!"
"Jericho!"
I rested against the wall, I used one hand to get up using the nearby dumpster as support. I grabbed a trash can lid and used it as a impromptu shield.
"You know kid, hand over the money and I will only partially unalive you." The guy I punched said. I saw Sam back on the ground facing the other guy in a standoff.
"We flipping won! Get the fuck out of here before... Before I..." I stammered.
"Before ye what?" He then lunged forward and I shielded myself with the trashcan lid. Instead of throwing a punch he grabbed the lid and hit me with a right hook. I staggered back and tripped over the trashcan. "Hahahaha! Yir a wimp!" He then threw the lid aside.
I just groaned a lay on the ground.
Samantha was being beat up by the other guy. She/he then managed to kick the guy in the balls. She/he assaulted the guy with a a series of slaps, she/he then kicked the guy aside.
"Hehe... Lee Sin..." I managed to croak out as I got up. The other guy's attention was focused on my friend.
"You boys attempted to cheat us, you then assaulted me and my friend and the worst of all... You ruined my outfit!!!" She/he wailed out. "But I'm going to give you and your friend a chance to skedaddle now and we'll forget what happened." She/he said while dusting herself.
I picked up the discarded trashcan lid and gestured from behind the guy that I'm gonna whack him.
"Hey." As he turned around I hit him as hard as I could. "*Clang!* Imba!" He then dropped like a fly. The other one stirred and I whacked him too. "*Clang!* You don't have anything on us fuckers!" I then high fived with Samson. "Ow..." I groaned as I touched the part of my face where I got hit.
"Jericho dear are you alright?" Sam asked in concern.
"Yeah. See you around Sam!" I said as I ran off. As she/he disappeared around the corner, I ran back. "Oh! You headed to comic con!?" I asked her/him.
"Of course, I'm headed as Ivan from one piece. How about you Jericho dear?" She asked.
"Cool. You'll find out. Chow!" I answered back as I dashed off. Oh fuck! I got into another fight, mom's gonna kill me! I then hopped on the taxi headed home.
The ride home was mostly uneventful. As I went through the neighborhood I was greeted by several people. I went up to the door of our house and jiggled the door knob. Locked.
I groaned and got the key under the welcome mat. I then got back up and opened the door. I then flipped the lights open and proceeded to the kitchen. As I was about to open the fridge I saw a note, I plucked the piece of paper off and read it.
I will not be home until later tonight, do your chores and homework.
-With love, your mother.
P.S. There is leftover meatloaf in the fridge.
Meatloaf? I then shuddered, mom's meatloaf is horrible. Why does she think there are leftovers? I don't have the heart to tell her though...
I'm in college now, but she still keeps treating me like a child! I crumpled the note and threw it in the thrash. I then warmed up a portion of the meatloaf and slapped it in a sandwich with cheese afterwards.
I went upstairs with the sandwich on a plate, I entered my room, slammed the door behind me and placed the plate on my desk. I tossed by bag to some random corner and turned on the computer on my desk.
I sat down and cracked my knuckles. "Okay let's do this." I logged on in LoL and was about to start a ranked game, I saw a notification at the bottom. Clicking on it, I saw it was a custom game. Shrugging, I accepted the invitation.
"A 1 vs 1? Howling Abyss? Sure, why not?" The summoner name was 'ThE ProGramMer', not a name I was familiar with so I checked his profile. A Challenger tier? So what? I can totally own anyone in a match.
Thirty minutes later I managed to win the match. "I don't remember the last time I fought so hard!" I groaned. Most of my games were smooth, this guy had some serious skills! Why isn't he part of some team?
'Good match.' The guy typed. A sport eh? Not many good sports round these days... I began to type in my response.
'You got some serious skillz dude...' I replied.
'You got *real* skills. Not many have that kind of skill in this world.' The guy said. I know. I don't think I'm that awesome but I'm getting there.
'What do you think about your world?' The guy asked. I flinched at the question. What do... I think?
'Is it fun? Is it easy to live in?' What the fuck is this guy saying?
'What is your wish?'
M-my wish... I don't wanna be weak, I want to be strong! I'm tired of being treated like a punching bag. I want to be free, free to be able to do anything I want!
'I wish that I could have the power and freedom to do anything I want' I replied.
"Oh? A selfish one?" A voice suddenly came from the computer. What the fuck!? I stood up and backed away, only to trip and fall down. "Very well then, I shall grant your wish!"
The monitor went black and the voice echoed around my room. "GO FORTH! YOUR WISH IS FULFILLED!" HOLY CRAP! I think I wet myself in fear. What the fuck is happening!?
Suddenly, the whole room rumbled and I was slowly being pulled by something. I turned around and there was some kind of vortex of energy. In panic I tried to escape it by clawing at the floor.
"Nonononono! Noooooo!" I shouted as I was sucked into the portal. "AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!"
Everything then went black.
IT'S A BRUTAL WORLD MATE...
The Broken World.
Another guy!?
---POV: JERICHO---
I groaned as gained consciousness. "W-what happened?" My voice... Why does my voice sound like I swallowed a speaker or something? "What the fuck happened to my voice!"
With a grunt, I rose to my feet. "Why does everything look bigger?" I asked myself as I looked at a nearby dead tree. And for that matter, where am I? I then fell on my face. "Ooof!" Why can't I stand up straight?
As I lay there a note appeared in front of me. I groaned, and read the letter without trying to reach it.
Dear Jericho,
I have been watching you. You do not know me but I know all about you.
As you have probably noticed, you are now a pony, more specifically a gender swapped Brutalight Sparcake. You must be relieved I didn't I didn't take your junior away.
You have all of her abilities. Chaos magic. All of Christian Brutal Sniper's weapons and hammerspace. Weaslecake's color coded abilities. And Twilight Sparkle's magical prowess. As a addition, I have given you all of the instincts and basic knowledge of your new body and powers.
You are now effectively kinda immortal. You will not age. But you can still die. Either by acts of stupidity, starving or by conventional means.
You now have the power and freedom to choose your own path. But still, I plead you to pick good.
The game has started.
The fuck? What does he... I stared in shock as I raised my 'hand'. Only it was not a hand, but a dark purple hoof.
I struggled to get on all fours, for some reason it soon felt natural, like I did it for all of my life. I then looked behind me, a dark blue tail was swishing back and forth, a pair of wings were spread out, on my ass was a marking of a cross and a bottle of jarate.
I touched my face, and indeed there was a muzzle, I trailed my newfound hoof up my forehead, touching what I could assume my horn. I admit, I'd wonder how it would be if I was a pony but...
"HOLY FUCKING GOD I'M A FRICKEN PONY!!! AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH! HOLY CRAP! WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED!?!"
I could only freak out.
"*Panting heavily* Ok... Got that out of the way. So I have powers now... What could I do with all of these abilities?" After a little freakout session I went ahead and began to test my abilities.
As I focused I felt a strange sensation in my horn. I imagined one of CBS's shivs, and one appeared. I stared at it in awe as it floated in a dark purple aura. I managed to control it, I swung it a few times. Satisfied, I concentrated and it disappeared.
I looked at my back and folded my wings with my hooves. Whoever sent me here... But where is here anyways? This place looks like a barren wasteland. I just realized I was on a cliff.
"Hey there miss where ya headed?" I heard someone say. I look down from the cliff and I saw four ponies. One was a grey pegasus attached to a cart... Its derpy! Three stallions where in her path, two were earth ponies and the other was a unicorn.
"Home." She flatly replied. And then she tried to go around them. They just blocked her path again.
"Why in such a hurry? We can show you a good time..." One of them said. A pig! I concentrated and a sniper rifle appeared. I held it in my magical grip and aimed. Let's see how painful is It for a unicorn to lose his horn....
I squeezed the trigger and the shot met its mark. "*Crack!* OH BUCKING FAUST! AAAAARRRGGGGHHHH!" The stallion shouted out.
I then flew down the cliff and landed in front of them. The two earth ponies attended to the... Once a unicorn. Said once a unicorn was trashing on the ground, tears and blood streaming down his face. He was letting out a cry of agony. For some reason that made me smile.
"Y-you bastard!" One of them shouted. His eyes then shrunk to pinpricks as I flared my wings accompanied with a grin. "A-an Alicorn!? There's only two!" He then backed away in fear.
"Take your friend and get the hell out of here. If I catch you doing this again I will find you. And break. Every. Single. Bone. In your bodies." I threatened. The three stallions were hugging each other in fear. "You guys get it?" Said stallions nodded rapidly. "Good. NOW SCRAM!!!" The two stallions bolted off, carrying their passed out friend, leaving three small puddles of a suspicious yellow liquid.
I turned around and faced the grey pegasus. Only then I noticed that she was wearing a pair of glasses and her mane was well kept, unlike her appearance in the show. Her eyes were also normal, scratch that, her left eye slowly went to the left while the other one focused on me. Her mouth was also wide open in shock.
She closed her mouth with a hoof, and then tapped the side of her head and her eyes focused on me. She put a calm expression on her face and adjusted her glasses with a wing. "Thanks for saving me." She said calmly.
What. The. Fuck. So... OOC.
"S-sure..." I replied slowly.
"My name is Derpy, Derpy Hooves." She said while extending her hoof. "What is your name?" She asked politely.
My name... I need a new name. Ah! That's perfect. "My name... My name is, Dusk, Dusk Shine." I said as I shook her hoof.
I wonder what is in store for me in this world. I have no idea where I'm going or what I'm gonna do. I haven't even wrapped my head around what's going on. But I'm not going to be a pushover.
After all wherever a person is... It's still... A Brutal world mate...
