> The Masked Hero, Maybe > by OPTIMUSPRIMEG1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kens POV Hi, names Ken, just your average guy, living an average life, currently on my way to my first Con, I liked the idea of dressing up as your favorite character from any show, movie, or series, I just saved up enough money to buy things from the Con, I pulled up to the driveway to see a whole crowd of people entering, making sure my costume was good, I entered. I walked through the Con, your wondering what my costume was, well I was dressed up as the Mask, the famous realistic cartoon being, I have his yellow suit and hat, and I painted my face green, people asked me take either take pictures or takes pictures with them, whenever I get my picture taken, I always do his pose, I looked at various booths, seeing the large variety of items from shows, I kept looking until I stopped at one that had caught my eye, the booth was run by a guy whose costume I could care less for, what really caught my eye was the item I needed to finish my costume, the Mask. I had to have it, it would totally complete my collection of Mask merch, I walked up to the booth, "Excuse me, how much do that Mask?" I asked the guy, he looked at me and for some reason, felt uneasy from his gaze, but shook it off, but something told me that this guy was bad news. "Just only $75, my friend," he said, I grabbed my wallet and handed the guy the money, I grabbed the Mask and observed the extreme detail on this thing, it felt like real wood, I decided to put it on, but before I could, I blacked out. > Chapter 2 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3rd POV "Hahahaha!! Oh such wonderful, beautiful Chaos!! I just love it" Discord said, laughing the whole time, then his body wiggled, "Oh, some unknown energy has appeared, well let me help it," snapping his fingers, only for nothing to happen, he snapped his fingers again and again, until a tear appeared just a few feet away, he knew he didn't do that, but before he could ponder about it, a creature was spat out, and then closed after, Discord watched as it got up, and grasp its head with one claw? but he sensed a boatload of energy coming from it, "Hmmm, this could be interesting." he said as he floated over to introduce himself. Kens POV "Ow, man, what happened?" I said, one hand rubbing my head in pain, I felt something in my hand and looked to see The Mask, getting up, I looked around to see, Madness Absolute madness, building were flying, rabbits with deer legs ran around, buffalo wearing tutus while doing ballet, just madness, "What the heck happened to this place?!" I then heard a voice say behind me, "Why, that would be my doing." I whirled around to see something that looks like a chimeras ugly baby, "Geez!! What the heck are you?!?!" I screamed out, it had look of hurt on its face, "Ouch, well you ain't no better, as for your previous question, this wonderful Chaos was caused by me, Discord, Spirit of Chaos and Disharmony!! At your service." Discord said with a smile while bowing, then stood up straight, and looked to his left, I looked to see six colorful blobs heading towards us, Discord looked back to me, an evil smile on his face, "Say, want to help create more Chaos, after all, you basically radiate Chaos!!" "What?! No way!! And what do you-" that's when I realized he's talking about the Mask, I looked down to it, it shined a little, and then I knew it was real, like actually real! Then I had a thought, if this guy was causing this, then innocent lives were getting hurt because of it, "I'm not gonna help you," I said, getting into a fighting stance, "I'm gonna stop you." He merely laughed, snapping his fingers, a flash went off under me, looking to it, only to see a half in the box, it's lid popping open to reveal a boxing gloves, it punched me in the chin, sending me high up into the air, like a good twenty or thirty feet. Looking down, I screamed as I fell back down, the Mask just bit out of reach, I reached for it before I become a smear on the ground, grabbing it, I looked down just in time to see a building coming up, I only said two words, "OH CRUD!!" then I crashed into the building. 3rd POV Twilight and her friends came up to Discords throne, and just in time to see something being launched up into the air, and began to fall, "OH NO!! That poor pony is about to crash into the ground, Rainbow Dash!! If you don't mind that is." Fluttershy said meekly to her friend, "ON IT!!" Rainbow Dash said, but she flew right into a frying pan, making a dent in the shape of her front body, falling back to the ground, they heard someone laugh, and turned to see Discord barely trying to stop his laughter, "Discord you bring that pony back to the ground right now!!" demanded Twilight, Discord stopped laughing and had a thoughtful look on his face, "Mmm, no." he said, smirking,and before anypony could say anything, a crash was heard, looking to see a nearby building with a large hole in the roof, they all stared at the hole, horrified, "You, you MONSTER!! HOW COULD YOU JUST KILL AN INNOCENT PONY LIKE THAT!!" "Well I just sent him into the air and let him fall," Discord said, and seeing the angered looks he was getting held up his hands, "What, you asked me how I could kill an innocent pony and I explained how." The Main 6 all prepared to use the Elements, not knowing of the broken body in the building, reaching for a wooden mask. > Chapter 3 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kens POV Pain, so much pain, I could barely feel my body, I didn't know how I survived that, bit I knew I won't be breathing, if I can still breathe, for long, I heard a Shimmer sound, and looked to see the Mask next to me, I reached out and grabbed it, ignoring the pain, I slowly brought it to my face, I knew once I put this one, my injuries would heal, my vision began going black, I knew I didn't have much time, so I slammed it on my face, and passed out. 3rd POV As the Main 6 were about to use the Elements of Harmony, the ground suddenly shook, dark clouds rolling in, while the sun made way for the moon, then, a green tornado burst from the building Ken had crashed into, causing green flames to consume the building, the tornado spun for a good five seconds, before it stopped to reveal a creature wearing a yellow suit, pants and hat with a feather sticking out of the hat, one hand pulled the front of the hat down to cover it's eyes, then, looking up the ponies and Draconequus saw that its face was green, "Sssssssssmokin!" it said, a large toothy smile on its face, then stood up straight, hands on its sides, "And who are you?" Discord asked the creature, whose smile was ever present, with a eyebrow raised, 'He certainly seems like fun, but also trouble.' were Discords thoughts. "Why, I'm the Mask!" the Mask said with fireworks exploding above him, and then he pointed at Discord, "Now, you gonna give up or am I gonna have ta beat ya!!" "Hmm, I think," Discord began, pulling out two 44 Magnum's, and aimed them at Mask, "I'm gonna kill you," The Mask had a horrified look on his face, before he smiled and pulled out two, gun shaped balloons? He still smiled and the balloons began to inflate until they popped to reveal, a whole arsenal of guns!! "P**IS METAPHOR!!!!!" Mask shouted, and began unloading everything onto Discord, who gasped in surprise before a rocket tore through his chest leaving a huge, bloody hole, the Mask smiled at this, only for that smile to turn into a confused look as the hole healed, Discord pulled out two katana blades and charged at the Mask while he was still firing, Discord swung his blades so fast, he was already behind the Mask, the guns fell, sliced in half, then, the Masks head flew straight up as blood spewed out, Masks head slowly spun, the fell back down, right back onto his body, good as new, well his head was facing Discord, while his body faced the other way, then Mask rotated his body, "Wooo!! What a ride!!" he said, spinning his arm. That psychotic smile ever present. Discord let out a groan while crossing his arms in annoyance. He was then punched in the face by a boxing glove that belonged to the Mask who was also wearing a pair of boxing shorts, another right hook caused Discord to hit a glass window with his face, when he looked at the Mask again, he saw that his face resembled Dolph Lundgren from Rocky IV, "I must break you!!" the Mask said sounding exactly like him to. He sent various punches towards Discord face, causing a few teeth to flyy and some blood. "Waitwaitwaitwaitwait!" Discord said, waving his hands, "I at least deserve a chance to retaliate! After all-" he was interrupted by the Masks laughter. "And what is so funny?!" "Everything!! But if want a chance to retaliate, then I could only think of one way!" with a snap of his fingers, The Mask was chained to the ground, and tied up with Wonder Woman's lasso, and a big sign with lights on it that said 'HIT ME!!' was above him. "Come on!! Hit me with your best shot!!" Discord wasted no time in shooting The Mask with a minigun. Once the Mask was reduced to mince meat, Discord blew the smoke from the end of the minigun. A smirk on his face, only for that smirk to change to a look of horror as the pieces that were the Mask began to roll into one mass, soon with a cartoonish pop the Mask was back, not a scratch on him and smile ever present. "WHAT!?" Discord shouted out in fear, only to become slightly confused as the Mask wore a baseballers outfit and wielded a baseball bat. "Batter's UP!!" he said, then swung his bat hitting Discord in the face, while also breaking his jaw as teeth flew out of his mouth, sending him flying into the air. "HOME RUN!!!" Discord kept flying, below him, the Mask was running underneath him who took the appearance of the Road Runner from Looney Tunes ,a dust cloud behind him as he ran. Discord saw that he heading towards the ground, but before he could snap his fingers to teleport, he felt a sudden weight on his back, looking behind him, he saw the Mask. This time in a cowboys outfit. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?!?" screamed Discord, but the Mask was either ignoring him or didn't notice he was speaking since he was riding Discord like he was a horse. YEEEEEEHHAAAW!!" Mask shouted, spinning his fedora. GIDDY UP LITTLE DOGGY!!!" then they both crashed into the ground, Discord sliding painfully across the dirt, while the Mask was sent flying face first into a rock. Getting up, Discord saw that he was in a desert, the Badlands to be precise, looking to the Mask with a snarl, he tried getting up as the Mask pulled his head out, that stupid grin on his face, minus a few teeth, then burst out out laughing. He would have continued laughing if it weren't for the sound of lightning followed by rain, looking he around, his eyes landed on Discord, who had the most heated glare ever. Getting up and ditching the cowboy clothing except for twin holsters and a white fedora, the green headed wonder glared at Discord, seeing that he too had the same items as he. Discord glared at the one who turned him into a joke, hand closing and opening, the Mask let out a beastial growl, then the two pulled out their own Continuity gem from the Marvel Universe, "Wait, where'd you get that?!" Discord asked as he leaned over, confusion clear on his face as he was supposed to be the only to grab the Gem, the Mask just smiled, Oh-ho-ho Jack." The Mask said, shoving Discord a little then began walking away, then turned to him while pointing at his face, "I'm ALREADY WEARING IT!!!" he pulled at his face, causing his head and hands grow while also gaining the most horrific appearance while laughing insanely. Discord looked at him with a sad horrified look as a tear slid down his face. Everything was dark, then Discord walked by with a spotlight on him, "Look at this guy, he isn't me." Discord sang while Mask held a mirror in front of him, "Although the internet thinks he might be. Perhaps I've gone too far, far from my reality." with a spin Discord pulled a sword in his left hand. "I'll do this right!" Discord sang while his right hand began to glow with Chaos Magic, a determined expression on his face, "I'm not a joke!! What even is a cherrychangaaaaaaa-" Rumba music began playing as Discord looked to his right to see the Mask donning a Samba attire as he shimmies over towards Discord, then changed his maracas into chainsaws. Fighting to the beat of the Rumba music, The Mask and Discord tried their best to slice each other with their blades, The Mask then kicked Discords sword out of his hand and tried to slice him with one of his chainsaws, only for DIscord to fly back and fire a volley of tiny magical bullets at the Masks face, hoping to at least kill him like that, but the Mask just swished them around in his mouth, the spat them out at Discord punching numerous holes into him, in a clean upward strike, the Mask cleaved off Discords arms, the spinning around like the Tazmanian Devil himself, he sliced Discords body to pieces as his head flew up, the Mask, now back in his yellow suit, adjusted his tie before catching Discords head. "F**k you!" Discord spat. The Mask reached into his pocket searching for something the smiled as he pulled out a giant nuke with the term "Fat Lady" written on it in green pain, using a magnifying glass, he and Discord watched as the timer counted down to zero, "Indeed!" the Mask said with a grin as a bug crawled through the gaps of his teeth. The timer reached zero with with the words "CHICK CHICKY BOOM," Discord and the Mask waited for the blast but nothing happened, growing confused, the Mask leaned in with ear pressed against the metal as he taped it once with the magnifying glass, thus causing it to blow. The Ponies watched as the giant mushroom cloud grew higher, as two dust piles, one yellow and green the other brown, appeared in town, then dust piles were blown away as they looked to see the Mask in a recliner with a fan next to him along with the broken body of Discord, as his yellow hat fell on his head he began to laugh crazily, as the ponies were about to faint, he said one simple sentence. "Who's next!?" And the last thing ponies saw was murderous gaze of the Mask.
