Equestria teeters on the edge of calamity. Unseen and in shadows, forces are at play trying to upset the harmony in the land and bring about the return of ancient evil. All it would take to send it over the edge and into disaster is one little push.
Jason and Luke may be that push.
The pyromaniac and the guitarist are ripped from their lives and thrown into Equestria. Now, one seeks to prevent the kingdom's fall into ruin while the other aims to bring it about.
So, this was an idea I've had buzzing around in my head for a while that just wouldn't leave me alone until I wrote it.
Rated teen for gore and swears.
Chapters (13)
A pyromaniac, eh? Imma read this, comment on what I think.
I love you
4057873 So, what did you think so far?
4060052 Thanks, I was trying to be original.
This is interesting. A weaponized Death Metal guitar? Haven't seen that yet,
Might've been better to mention that he was falling in the second paragraph. I'm liking this so far. It's relatively original. This fic needs more love than it's getting.
4068204
Oh, you have no idea.
4068329 Fair point, I could've made that clearer.
I can just see Disco inferno being the go to flamethrower,And Big blue from F-Zero being a kinetic blast type deal
4092458 Actually, sorry to disappoint but the songs he'll be using to fight with are all guitar-heavy power metal songs. I thought it'd only make sense, seeing as he's a guitarist and all. I won't say any specific songs, as the title alone of one or two of them might be considered spoilers.
4092467 Have you never heard Big Blue?
4092467
Let's see... I'm going to say Dragonforce, Manowar, and possibly Amon Amarth or Hammerfall are going to make it into this fic... And it'll need at least one Iron Maiden song...
I really actually need to read this first, don't I?
4093512 Yeah, kinda.
I'll say this: Including Gloryhammer, who have already made an appearance, there are four bands I'm using the songs of, and there are 8 songs in total. You correctly guessed one out of your five.
4095007
Give me a moment to catch up on two of my favs and I'll read this to see what I can figure out.
Hmm... Only one of those was right? I'm going to say it was probably Dragonforce, and for the other two I'm going to guess Gamma Ray and Iced Earth.
4095019 Sorry, I've never even heard of Gamma Ray and Iced Earth. But yeah, Dragonforce is getting in here.
4099919 Really? Both are pretty good bands. Let's see... Next guess is going to be Blind Guardian and Alestorm.
4099970 Ding ding, you got another one. I'm not going to tell you which one though, and I won't tell you the last one, so that the story will keep some surprises.
4092519 No, I haven't. Or rather, I probably have but I've forgotten it. Regardless, I've already chosen songs for the story.
4100911
Welp, my guessing mini-game has come to an end it seems.
*Stares at third chapter's title* At first, I was sure it was Alestorm of the two, but now I'm not so sure...
4101220
The chapter titles are all named after songs. There's a pretty big clue.
4101240
I don't doubt it, but I hadn't really looked that closely before, and now that I have that's the only one I recognize. Maybe.
[edit] How do you spoiler stuffs on this site?
4101246 Also, they're named after songs that won't be used in the story, Just like I'm not using Through the Fire and Flames as anything more than the name of the story.
4101253
In that case, did I get the right Voice, and who does Crimson Day?
4101256 Yeah, that's the song it's named after. And I'm not telling who does Crimson Day, as I'm using their music later on.
I have no idea how to set spoiler tags, if I did I'd probably be using them.
EDIT: Nevermind, I figured it out. You type [ spoiler] before and [/ spoiler] after (without spaces), much like using italics/bold/underline.
4101261
Mystery band number 4 now has a clue! Could have used that earlier when I was still guessing.
K, so, go all magical and chapter 4 please?
....Well,Im pretty sure he'd Nope the fuck outta there,That name sounds just a few words off from being a fucking Eldritch cult
4135591
Well, he's a metal guitarist, cultist sounding names aren't exactly all that uncommon. But I do believe we've an idea on who mysterious voice number one is.
4135591 Or a great name for a band
not quite filler since it moves the story along but still feels like it, oh well thanks for the new chapter
4295505 Yeah, I wasn't quite as happy with this chapter as I was with the others. Don't worry though, next chapter will be much more action-packed.
YAAAAAY update.
Hmm, Crimson Day and Shepherd of Fire? Wonder where I've heard those before?
4321334 Ssshhh
Okay, I know next to nothing about rock but I really enjoy this story. The characters are set up nicely and we get to see how they interact in Equestria. Sad that this story's so underrated.
Also, it's interesting what you're doing with your human characters. Jason and Luke have interesting parallels with Celestia and Luna, each of whom they end up with (soft of, since Luke only meets with a Nightmare Moon cult) . It'd be interesting to see Jason having a heart-to-heart with Celestia. Maybe even Luke meeting with Nightmare Moon. Either way, I can't wait.
-W.S.
4323741 Oh, you're going to love what I've got planned for this.
I'm really enjoying this story! I can't wait to see how those two... talk it out.
NOW SHIT IS ABOUT TO GET REAL, OR THE'RE GOING TO CALMLY TALK IT OUT. PREFERABLY THE FIRST ONE! THIS STORY IS SO GREAT MY CAPSLOCK IS STUCK TO SHOW HOW HYPED I AM!
4372879 4375290 I didn't know people could get so excited over conversation
4378116 Only when talking involves massive amounts of fire and pummeling and an excessive lack of words beings verbally said. A true brother doesn't simply talk to his stupid sibling, he punches the stupid right out of their face! Just ask my brother, he's punched me a few times for doing stuff that I admit was incredibly stupid. Like thinking I could get away with covering his broken playstation with silly string in an attempt to hide it.
4378315 That does sound incredibly stupid
4378555 Eh, I was eight. It's been eleven years since then so I can look back and laugh my ass off at how dumb I was.
WHY?! Why again?! The internet keeps stealing my ideAs before I can... Yah me and my friend thought of something like this... And now he's raging as I write this...
4421583 What part of it was similar to your idea?
That shouldn't stop you writing it anyway.
4424852
Just the main characters being a pyro and a guturist
4426230 Heh, I thought I'd never see another fic where one of the main characters is a guitarist. Would yours also fight with music?
PLEASE use Sudden Death by Megadeth at some point, I'm BEGGING YOU
4431178 Hmm. I do have songs picked out for the rest of the story, but there are one or two I'm not sure of. I'll have a listen and see what I think.
EDIT: I listened to it, and it's just not really what I'm looking for. Sorry.
4431158
Yup, he would manipulate sound waves and mimic voices and stuff
4431258 Awesome. If you ever write it be sure to send me a link, it sounds tasty.
