Discord's Game - Part 1 Ch. 3

I awoke with a start, more like being electrocuted "Wakey wakey eggs and bakey" The only person I know with a personality like this

"What do you want Discord" I feeling a bit tingly everywhere, and a plate of eggs and bacon appeared, which I scarfed down eagerly since I hadn't eaten in a weak… what can I say I've been busy

"Well I wanted to know if you'd be interested in a little game" Discord chuckled

"That depends what's the ga-" A glass shattering scream went throughout the room nearly blowing up my eardrums

"What is he doing in our room!?" she used the blankets to cover up

"Rarity… think about what your doing… your always naked, and Discord want's me to play a game. Since he is not entirely evil anymore as far as I know, I'm game -"

"Thats the spirit Keith now we better get started and" Discord started to ramble but not before I cut him off

"-But you have to promise me nopony gets hurt, and that this is not a evil plot" I warned him "And if it is" I stood up, and grabbed him by the throat "Your ass is mine ten different ways to Tartarus, Understood?"

"Keith your naked!" Rarity "loud" whispered at me

"My My, your quite sizable Keith" Discord added obviously impressed

"Hey, Head up, It's only gay, and awkward if you make that way. Now about this game your speaking of?" I walked over and put on my briefs and pants on and sat back on the bed to inspect my wings

"Well think of this, everyone has four lives and each person gets one of these

Discord snapped his fingers, and a small golden wristband. "Whats this supposed to be" I asked completely confused

"Put it on" He simply said

"If this blows up" I put it on, and I was honestly surprised by how much i'm being surprised on this planet. The wristband lit up and a blue mana orb was formed in my palm

Discord spoke "I is non-lethal so dont worry about it, and all you have to do is hold your arm straight out and give it a small push, practice on the dummy over there" Discord snapped his fingers and a dummy appeared with the same golden band

I held out my hand and did as Discord instructed. The ball was sent flying at an estimate of fifty mph and hit the dummy. I braced myself for an explosion, but all that happened was a meter with four hearts appeared above the dummy's head, one heart dissolved. "What happens when that meter has no more hearts"

"The pony who losses all his lives are transported to the throne room where refreshments and beverages await the ponies who played. There will also be screens set up to watch the other competitors who are still in play"

"Seems legit, what are the rules?"

"The game itself lasts an entire day as the time length, there will be multiple attachments for your wristbands, and extra health packs, all scattered throughout ponyville, the boundary is ponyville. This is a team battle so you must have a team of at least three, up to six"

"Anything else before I go for a team?"

"Yes unicorns are not allowed to use magic but an exception is using there magic to for barriers, so it'd be wise to construct your team with a unicorn"

"Done, I've made up my team for your game Discord" I said with cofidence

"Really who are the selected ponies?" Discord asked with confusion

"Rarity, Lieutenants Ace, and Time, Ranger, and hopefully the captain"

"Actually Keith I think I'm gonna go with the girls, You behave now, and if you do anything funny with that Ranger girl I'll rip off your testicles and shove them down your thought, Okay honey, bye bye" Rarity walked out of the room with a smile

"I hate to say this Keith my boy, but I fear for you sometimes" Discord said staring at the door

"Are you kidding I fear for myself most times, So can you teleport me to my other room?"

"Consider it done my friend, oh and take these" Discord poof'd up five more for me "One more for you and four others for your team"

"Thank you" And with that I am now in my room staring at the absurd scene before me. Ranger and… Rarity!? were making out on my bed

'Sorry to say Sir but I think your girl is cheating on you' Match said trying not to laugh

'It's okay I'm so gonna use this as leverage later though' I pulled out a small digital camera that I always have on me, turned off the flash, and took the picture. I put the camera back into my pocket, and walked out the door quietly. About ten minutes later I reached the training grounds, it was easy enough to spot them, as they were in the very back clashing swords

'Master are you okay with what Rarity'

'Totally fine Frost, because no matter which way you look at it I'm gonna get something out of this, I know it's not my style, but it gonna be funny as hell in the end'

'Meh I guess you right Master'

'ooooo say that again'

'You right?" Frost wondered

'Gosh I love it when i'm right' I arrived at the training grounds "IGNITE" I took of in a bee line straight for the ponies I was looking for, disarming anyone who got in my way

"Hey Keith whats up" Time and Ace walked up to me, as I was locked in a sword fight with ten guards

"Ah" I swung my sword horizontal cleanly cutting everyones blade "Just the ponies I wanted to see"

"Really, whats up" Ace asked hovering in the sky much like a cyan mare I know

"How would you two like to be apart of my team for a game"

"Sure whats the name of the game?" Time asked me

Well on my little tussle here i've decided to call it "Team Survivors", so what ya say guys?"

"Hey I'm down man" Ace said kicking back in the air"

"Whats the rules and i'll play" Time said with interest

"Well first of off you'll need these" I handed them the bracelets, which they both put on. Then I Explained the rules of the game and where it's being held "alright now you two go to ponyville and wait for me there, there is one more addition to my team I need to make"

"Got I Keith but better clear us up with Celestia" Ace warned

"On it" I walked back to the room I shared with Ranger, and opened thee door quietly. I walked in to see Rarity, and Ranger really going at it now, so being me I pulled out my camera and took another picture. I walked back out of the room, closing the door ever so quietly, and if today couldn't get any better, I started pounding on the door, making the door cave in a bit, and sending a loud echo down the empty halls. "RANGER I NEED TO TALK TO YOU!" I yelled. I heard two screams and hushed whispers. I swung open the door to find Ranger sitting at the foot of my bed smiling at me as though sees innocent... 'Oh i'm gonna call them out'

'Best of luck master' Frost sarcastically chuckled

I sniffed the air "Frost" "Match" I summoned my two pets "I heard someone else in here, find them" I winked at them. They got the hint and started to search the place top to bottom

"Keith what are you doing here?" Ranger asked trying to cover up her shaky voice

"Tell me Ranger" I sat next to her on the edge of the bed, feeling another shuffle of movement next to me beneath Ranger's cloak "Do you know what a camera is?"

"I have no idea what that is Keith and why it matter" She spoke getting nervous because of my tone of voice, which was "knowing"

I sent a mental message to my pets and told them to stop the search "Well a camera is a thing of wonder it allows a user "me" to take a picture of anything at any point in time and capture the image to be seen. This so call image is one of you" I slyly played a dual meaning into there, as I pulled out the camera I turned it on.

Ranger looked at the camera in shock not only because the picture looks amazing but because it showed two pictures with her and Rarity doing the deed at the start and at the end "uh oh" is all she could say

"So would" I shoved it beneath the cloak "you like to see too?"

Rarity jumped out from beneath Ranger's cloak and backed up into a wall stuttering "It' n-not what y-you th-th-think ah yes you see umm I was just walking along to see the girls heh heh, and I ran into Ms. Shot here, and then we started to talk. Then we came to the room and we... kissed, and one thing lead to another and we ended up um doing that heh heh quite the funny story huh?"

"Well first of all that was the longest non-apologize speech I have ever heard, and second who kissed who first?" I asked standing in the middle of the room with my arms crossed.

"I did, I'm sorry" Ranger raised her hoof "I just want so badly what you, and this fine mare have. So I um was wondering if I could umm..." she trailed off

"Oh for heavens sake, she would like to know if we could be a heard?…" Rarity blurted out, then freezing up

"Okay" I said nonchalantly

"What!?" both girls screamed at the same time

"I said "Okay" okay"

Both Rarity and Ranger jumped on me, but Ranger spoke first "Thank you, I promise I will always keep you happy"

"Better keep that promise. Just because we may be a heard now doesnt mean that you both are off the hook yet. I'm still a bit bummed that you would cheat on me Rares, and you too Ranger, so you both are going to do something for me later"

"You name it Darling and we'll do it to our fullest extent, isn't that right dear" Rarity kissed Ranger right on top of me

"MMMMHHHMMMMMM" Ranger moaned into the kiss

"Well Rarity you best go meet up with the girls at Ponyville and get prepared" I handed her the braclet that she put on

"Alright love, Taa Taa" Rarity said walking out the door, and drooling over the beautiful bracelet

"And me and you should go meet up with our team, Lieutenants Ace, and Time"

"Team? what team" Ranger asked confused

"I'll explain on the way!" I shouted Grabbing Ranger by the waist, and jumping out the window "MATCH" "FROST" my pets formed back into me, then I took off to ponyville with Ranger cradled in my arms
