Do you know who I am, of course you wouldn't. I'm the kind of person that you wouldn't even notice when you pass the halls in a high school, the one who gets picked on because he's thought of as a nerd and a loser.
My name is Jake Delta; I'm 18 years old, average built but look like a weakling to most. 6'0 in height and black hair that covered my dark blue eyes half way and the reason why I'm sort of a social outcast is because I'm a bit of a techy. When it comes to working with computers or any other form of tech I know how it ticks. But it doesn't stop there, I'm also an avid gamer so whenever I'm not messing with tech I'm racking up the leaderboards.
Plus I have bookshelves filled with manga series, games or figures. Basically, I'm what some call an Otaku and I'm not ashamed to say it, it's what I like. Don't let that fool you though, underneath that there is a side of me that no one knows about and it's that I'm a great hacker.
In school my hacker name was Ghost Assassin, and my influence started out as just someone who supplied people with what they wanted, whether it'd be class supplies, answer sheets or other useful things. But soon I had more grip on the school than the superintendent. I had access to all student files and personal information, so whenever I see something wrong I made things right with the info that I had at my disposal. People thought twice when they did stupid shit to others, and especially to me.
I am rambling too much sorry, so how about I make things interesting? This was the day my life made an unexpected turn. I was walking home from school after staying late with the computer club looking over some new specks for a new computer that we were working on but I kind of lost track of time.
I was wearing my Assassin's Creed hoodie with the hood up like I normally do. At the moment I was going through my phone to check my emails that students have been sending to Ghost Assassin and seeing the requests and problems that are asking help for.
"Not much going on this week, guess I'll be out of a job soon if problems don't arise," I said to myself, feeling a little proud that I was able to help people even though I know they wouldn't do the same for me.
I never said I expected to be owed anything when I started to doing something this dangerous, still I know what I'm doing makes a difference to those who need it. When I made it home I was welcomed to the usual, my mom was cooking dinner and my dad was sitting at the table still wearing police uniform. They both look over to the door and spotted me, greeting me in their own unique ways.
"Hey hon how was school today?" she asked in her usual upbeat way.
"It was good, not much happened today anyway," I said.
"Anyone messed with you?" dad asked, skipping the hellos and just got strait to the point.
My problem with the assholes at the school have been going on since my freshmen year and my dad usually made it a point to ask me frequently to make sure I didn't go over the edge and do something reckless, if he only knew though.
"No, it was pretty quiet today. Anyway, I'll be in my all night I've got some stuff I need to do," I said as I passed them by.
When I reached my room I put the 'Do Not Disturb' sign on the door and closed it and latched on all the locks. My room was my sanctuary, shelves filled with manga and DVDs of my favorite anime series, and games. Against the wall was my TV where I had my consoles and my desk was where I keep my baby.
Calling it a simple computer was an understatement, I had two wide screen HD monitors with a hard drive that had a few Terabytes of storage data and ran faster that a normal one. It was used for multiple things at a time but mostly whenever I'm not Ghost Assassin, I'm TheLostPaladin on Xbox or online gaming.
But at the moment, I wasn't really up for any of that. A few weeks back I had gotten an anonymous email from someone named Molly. I wasn't familiar with the name since I never heard of anyone by the name in school or from any other previous email that were addressed to my hacker name.
They seemed to know my name perfectly and this made me question if they managed to hack my computer or any other personal info. I scanned my security and didn't see anything wrong. Molly assured me that she wasn't anyone bad but a friend and only wanted to talk. I thought I'd humor this 'Molly' and let her, which ended up feeling like I was being questioned for a survey.
She kept asking me stuff about video games and animes that I was into, as well as which generation of gaming I preferred over the other. I answered them and she seemed happy with what she got but things soon got strange from there when she sent me a link for this show that seemed to have gotten popular, something called My Little Pony.
The link was to a bunch of videos of the show and after watching only the first episode I quickly cussed out Molly and questioned her about what the fuck this was about.
She responded quick with tons of apologies, but encouraged to keep watching and if I still didn't like it she would leave me alone and never contact me again. I wanted to tell her to leave now but something in me reconsidered. I don't know why but I kept watching the little show that somehow held my attention until the next thing I know I had watched all the episodes.
After digging around on the web I discovered something called bronies, a group both boy and girl of either adult or child who were fans of this show. I couldn't really talk down on the people who were into this sort of thing, to each their own, right? But it didn't stop there, as it would turn out there were tons of fanfictions online written by people along with a few tumblr pages.
I didn't really engage in the writing but I can't say I didn't like the work I read. Yeah I'll admit the show was sort of good in its own way and I knew enough about it to distinguish the characters from each other and the parodies were pretty funny like the Molestia one, but I wasn't really a brony like the others.
When asking why Molly wanted me to watch the show, she simply said she was just wanted to see if I would give it a chance. I never understood what she meant by it but I didn't question her further. Right now, I turned on my computer and went to check my email and sent out a message to her to see if she was on right now.
Just as quick as it went I got a response from her.
Hey Delta, good to see you online now.
I thought it was somewhat annoying that she called me by my last name but I always brush it off and just replied.
Hey Molly, what's been up lately?
Nothing much really, but I've been meaning to ask you something important.
I started getting skeptical now.
Ask me what exactly?
You like gaming right, have you ever imagined being the character inside the game actually doing the things they do? To have awesome superpowers or skills that matched anyone's?
Well yeah, but then again who hasn't, where are you going with this anyway Molly?
What if someone gave you the chance to actually be the hero or villain in the game, just leave the real world behind and stay in the game, would take the chance to escape your boring little world and make a difference?
…
I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little scared right about now. The way she is implying is almost like one trying to convince someone to join a cult and as such I replied with the answer.
Yeah I would, if it meant I could leave the world behind and actually feel like my choices make a difference.
Molly didn't reply for a few minutes and I was worried that I might have scared her off but soon I got another from her but on my phone. When I opened it all I saw was a familiar looking sun emblem that seemed to be flashing and when I pressed the image my phone started to glow gold for a brief moment before everything went dark.
What happened was a complete mystery to me, or even if what happened to me was real or just some dream but when I woke up it was to the sound of someone shouting and of gunfire. I jumped from where I was which was a huge bed that just so had someone else on it with me.
It was a woman who looked to be in her early twenties, she was wearing a yellow hoodie with a matching yellow snapback with blue jeans and stripped socks. She had long greyish purple hair that seemed to move on its own somehow and had a Xbox mic on and was currently yelling at the at a flat screen that showed that she was currently playing Black Ops II online.
Got to say though, she wasn't bad. I don't know any gamer girls but to see one is actually kind of cool.
"Come on, that all you got you fucking camper? I'm still alive and your aim sucks!" she shouted as she just quick scoped one player the landed a double kill with a grenade.
As much as I wanted to keep watching I needed some answers about where I was right now and why I was here.
"Um, excuse me miss but where the hell am I?" I asked.
She seemed to have been startled by me which accidently caused her to get gunned down by one of the player.
"No, my kill streak," she cried.
I know how that feels trust me. How many of you have a good game going and out of nowhere it all just goes bad and you lose everything?
"S-Sorry about that miss," I said.
"Well you should be," she said, turning to face me.
I was stunned by what I saw. This woman in a blunt term was gorgeous but what really caught my attention were her violet eyes. It didn't take me long to realize that I was staring for too long and that I needed some answers as to what's going on here.
"You must be confused right about now huh?" she asked.
"Yeah, I am," I muttered.
She got off the bed and waved me over. While doing so I got a good look at what I suspected was her room. Shelves piled high with assorted game, walls covered with all sorts of posters, Game Informers magazines all over the place plus old and new gen consoles hooks up to her flat screen with surround sound.
"Do you have any questions that you want to start off with?" she asked.
The obvious of course, "Who are you?"
She chuckled a little but seemed as though she was expecting that one.
"You actually know me Delta, but for your sake I'll tell you. My name is Princess Celestia, but you know me as Molly."
For a moment it felt as though the world stopped. So many things went off in my head at once, most of it telling me that this was some sort of dream that I was having. That was what I was hoping that it was; a really weird and twisted, stress induced dream.
I knew exactly who she was, that character from MLP who ruled the kingdom with her sister. But for some reason she was human and playing video games. Wait, something about that didn't make any sense for some reason.
Celestia didn't play video games; well except for that April Fools swap the Molestia tumblr did one time. It was called Gamer Molly and Lusty Luna, could that really be her? I needed to know more.
"What's happening here, why did you bring me here?" I asked.
"Well, I've kept a close eye on you Delta and I've taken a liking to you."
That was a little much for me to take in. I don't need some stocker keeping tabs on me 24/7.
"You pervert, do you watch me when I'm showering too?"
Her face went red the instant I said that.
"No, not like that I swear. I mean there was that one time but I stopped looking after a second that's all."
Molly went on and on about the issue until I told her to stop and that we were getting off topic.
"The reason I brought you here is because I've taken an interest in you because of the fact that you are an Otaku, but also someone who fights for the little guy."
"You don't know the first thing about me princess," I said and turned away from her.
"I know a lot about you than you may realize, Ghost Assassin."
At the mention of my alias, I turned back to her in shock but at the ready as well just in case if things go wrong. I always figured that someone would find about that but I didn't expect it to be so soon. Molly raised her hands in defense, already knowing what I was thinking no doubt.
"Easy now, I'm not here to bring you in Delta. I'm your friend; I would never do something like that to you."
"Why?"
"Because it's as I said, I'm your friend here."
I started to ease up a little. "Where is here exactly?" I asked.
"You're in Gamer Equestria, a place where gamers, nerds, techies, and Otakus can actually be the hero or villain of the games they play," Molly said.
Not sure if I heard her right, or correctly for that matter. At the moment I thought she was crazy but then again I somehow ended up here in this cartoon world, supposedly away. The most I could do at the moment was gather more information from my kidnapper.
"What was the reason you brought me to this world in the first place, why me of all people?" I asked.
"Believe it or not, I see something in you that others lack. What that is will be revealed within time. Come here, let me show you something."
I followed Molly to the doors leading to the balcony and what she showed me was completely unlike anything I've ever seen. Equestia wasn't what I expected at all, but something out of a gamers paradise. The city of Canterlot looked like a mix of multiple cities ranging from Watch Dogs, Assassin's Creed, Dragon Age and Legend of Zelda and tons more.
The people walking around looked like characters of different varieties, some I recognized but a few looked like regular citizens though.
"Beautiful isn't it?" Molly asked.
I was at a loss for words, not even able to give a simple for her.
"I created this world long ago when I first got into gamming with Pong, those were the days. When they started to evolve it started to get more fun to play but I soon found it to get a little lonely playing by myself. It wasn't until around the time when the PS2 came out when I started to bring humans into this world and it started to get fun again."
"Wait, so I'm not the only one here then?" I asked.
"Sorry to disappoint you Delta, but there are actually thousands of human player in Gamer Equestria. Living it up like heroes or being simple players in charge of shops or one of the multiple guilds in the city," she said.
That made me feel a bit relieved, but there was still the issue of how I was going to get back home from this place. She did say that she brought humans to this place so what's stopping her from sending me back?
When looking at Molly I saw that she was looking back at me with a smile on her face. Something about felt different from a normal one, not really bad but more like…expecting something of me, if that was the right way to phrase it.
"Um, listen is there a way to send me back home to the human world?" I asked.
Molly's smile faded the moment she heard the question.
"Yeah, I can send you back if you don't want to be a part of this. I'll even make it so that you don't remember any of this and you'll never hear from me again."
For some reason her words kind of stung, like it was a guilty feeling in my chest that was telling me not to leave this place. That was a problem, I somewhat had a life back home, parents that would not doubt freak if they noticed that I was gone.
I couldn't just leave that behind, then again I couldn't just leave Molly either. She was the first real friend that I really ever made, I don't even have friends on Xbox LIVE and that was just sad in all honesty. Despite her being a fictional character from a kids show I honestly can say that I was kind of fond of her.
Molly went out of her way to get to know me even if it was just about games; she even brought me to her world where it was a paradise for gamers. Losing her would just hurt in the end and I didn't want to lose my only friend in my pathetic life.
"Are there any other options for me to choose from?" I asked.
Molly perked up a bit.
"Three in fact, one; you can stay here and become a human player and start your own path with your own choses and outcomes whether it'd be hero or villain. Two; you can go back and have recollection of this ever happening. Three; you chose to still be a player but have the freedom to come and between worlds as you see fit, but you must follow the same rules as everyone else with a few added guild lines," she explain.
"I think my choice is obvious, number three."
Molly nodded then reached into her pocket and pulled out something strange. It looked like an I.D. card but there wasn't a picture in it or any other kind of information. She handed it to me and the moment my fingers touched it there was a type of jolt that went through me and the card started to shine blue.
I dropped to my knees and held my temples from the massive headache that came out of nowhere, my sight started to turn to static for a moment before I started to see words in my eyes.

Welcome to Gamer Equestria player
When it was all over my body felt different, almost stronger somehow but I still looked the same as before. But I looked up at Molly there was something floating in the air right of her head.
It looked like a type of display HUD that you see in MMORPGs with a heath gauge and her name as well as her level. It was 242; I didn't even know players could reach that high of a level in games.
"How do you feel?" she asked while helping me up.
"Different, what is this thing?" I asked.
"That is an Avatar Card or Ava-card for short. It's basically your Gamer I.D. that holds all your stats and information that only works for the player it's registered to. Not only that but it also keeps you up to date with upcoming events and keeps track of your alignment or what guild you belong to."
This little thing could do all of that. While looking at it I saw something that caught my attention, it was my level which I expected to the standard level 1 but instead I was 37.
"What gives, why do I start out with such a high level?" I asked.
Molly smirked a little at the question, "Well, you're still a rooky to all of this so I don't want you dying so quickly. I personally made your Ava-card for you on the off chance you decided to try this, but let's just keep that between us," she said.
My Ava-card started to blink repeatedly and this little icon that looked like a present. I think I just got prize, but why from?
"If you want to check what you got just to do this."
Molly swiped her fingers down in the air in front of her and six circles appeared and I recognized what that was from in an instant. That was from Sword Art Online, a bit cliché to do but it seemed effective none the less and atleast this had a logout icon.
Copying her, I made my menu appear before me and clicked the top icon and then went to items to see what I got.
Dual hidden blades
Sword of Altair
Corvo Attano's sword
Leon Kennedy's pistols
Mark of the Outsider
Map of gamer Equestria
These were the only items that I had in my inventory at the moment but I wasn't one to look a gift horse in the mouth. These were actually items from some of my favorite games. Selecting the first one there appearing on my forearms were Ezio's hidden blades from Brotherhood.
I could barely contain my excitement when the ornate blades sprang out, completely nerding out right now. Next I tried the Mark of the Outsider and there burned onto my skin was the symbol of the omnipotent trickster. To air on the safe side, I tried to activate the Dark Vision ability and the mark started to glow.
My sight changed to the negative effect and I saw Molly was a yellow figure and her field of vision.
"This is totally kick ass, but you mentioned that there were rules that I had to follow."
"Oh yeah, thanks for reminding me. Here."
She went over to her nightstand and rifled through the drawer until she found a laminated booklet that looked to be about only a few pages long. The title read, "Rules and Regulations of Gamer Equestria."
Going through them, they seemed to be pretty strait forward.
Rule # 1: Players are prohibited from bringing outside weapons into this world. If such object is found in the player's possession then it will be quickly confiscated and destroyed.
Rule # 2: Harm to MPCs is strictly prohibited less it is of the alignment of the player or is part of evil mission. If not, player will face month suspension and have powers and perks locked till time is up.
Rule # 3: If player uses powers or weapons in human world, they may do so at his/her risk but if used irresponsibly and not in self-defense will face expulsion from Gamer Equestria and all items striped.
Rule # 4: If players chose to engage in Duals they play at their own risk and wagers made are final unless it can be settled between the two arguing parties.
Rule # 5: Players are bound to secrecy about this world; if they do not uphold this condition the Ava-cards will send out a signal and report them which will lead to immediate expulsion.
Rule # 6: If a player or party wishes to establish a new guild, they must first make an appointment with Princess Celestia and pay necessary funds to do so.
Rule # 7: Human players, if were to cross each other, must not engage in fights unless it is the standard Dual. If both do not abide by this rule will result in expulsion and memory wipe.
Rule # 8: If player choses to go on quests they do so at their own risk but it complete task can either keep winnings or auction off in the nearest trading outpost.
Rule # 9: DO. NOT. DIE.
That last one really sent a chill down my spine, mainly because it doesn't explain what happens to a player when their HP drops to zero and I don't want to test that theory, plus I don't think Molly had an answer to that question either.
How many people agreed to this without taking that into consideration? They probably think if they die they just get a restart, we do get a restart, right?
"Hey, are you alright, you look like your about to throw up." Molly came to my side and checked me over.
For some reason I felt at ease when she was near. It was weird, usually I only feel calm when people are nowhere near me but that wasn't true in her case.
"Y-Yeah, I'm fine. Just a lot to take in is all," I said.
"Can I see your phone for a second?" she asked.
That was a red flag for me. As a hacker you don't want to risk someone going through you stuff and finding something they weren't supposed to. This thing was all that I was when I'm Ghost Assassin and didn't want that to be taken away from me.
"I'll give it right back; I just want to see it real quick."
Somehow I gave it to her and was having a tiny panic attack when it left my hand. Molly proceeded to do something strange with my phone, her hand ablaze with a gold aura that seemed to get soaked into the device. When giving it back her sun emblem shown on the screen for a brief moment before the screen went dark.
Next thing I know my Ava-card did a chime and there was an icon. Checking the menu I saw that there was a friend request from someone named RadSunGoddess.
"If you have any questions feel free to send me a message and help out," she said.
I was at a loss for words in that moment. Her smile had made me pull up my hood to try and hide my face that blushing brightly. Like I said before, she was my first real friend and top it off she was a gamergirl, how lucky was I at the moment. After clicking accept, I wanted to say thank you to her but was quickly cutoff by someone hollering from outside the door to her room.
"Oh dear sister, I'm back and I came to check up on you," someone said sweetly.
"Who the hell-" I couldn't even finish that sentence before Molly quickly grabbed me and shoved me into what I guessed was her closet.
"Don't make any noise until I say it's safe to come out," was all she had time to say before closing the door.
Turning on the screen of my phone I located the door knob and looked through the keyhole and was able to see what was going on. The person in question was standing before Molly. They looked about a year younger with long flowing hair that looked like a vast sea of stars. Sporting a dark blue and white hoodie, blue jeans with the phrase sexy on the back and leather boots.
She felt somewhat familiar, but since she called Molly sister it could mean that she was Princess Luna by default. But she seemed different for some reason, not the regular uptight and sophisticated ruler one might expect.
"Hey Lulu, wasn't expecting you back so soon. What happened?" Molly asked, looking nervous.
Luna plopped down on her bed with a pouting face. "You don't have to sound so disappointed that I'm back already sister, you make sound like you were hoping that I'd stay gone," she said then turned over on her side away from her.
The distinct sound of sobbing could be heard coming from her, more than likely fake, but Molly fell for it like a fool.
"N-No, Lulu I didn't mean it like that. I swear, I just thought that the business overseas would keep you longer, I'm happy to see that you finished them so quickly and that you are home now."
She got closer and was caught off guard when Luna turned on her back and locked her legs around her sister's waist and her arms around her back, their faces dangerously close for two sisters and a sly grin on Luna's face was clear evidence of that.
"If you are really mean that, then how about you give you dear sister a welcome home smooch. I'm exhausted and all I really want to do is wind down for a bit," she said sultry.
This girl clearly had no standards when it came to this sort of thing and it was obvious that she probably did this often.
"Luna, stop that. It's one thing to tease but when you're serious it's going out of line," Molly said, trying to get her off.
"Come on sis, it's not like you do it with anyone. All you do is spend your time playing games in this room of yours, let me show you a new game you can play."
Luna made to try and kiss Molly and that was when I lost my grip on my phone, making me fumble around the closet to try and catch it and make a ton of noise in the process.
"What the hell was that?"
I froze in place after catching my phone, hoping that Luna wouldn't find out that I was in here hiding. Looking through the keyhole again I saw that Luna was off the bed and…sniffing the air? She continued to do so for about two minutes before looking toward my direction. I put my hands over my mouth so that she would hear my breathing but I was still panicked.
"I smell a male in this room, and a virgin no less. You naughty girl sis," Luna said.
How the hell does she even know that? My brain went into overdrive to think of a way out of this but before I even had time to react, the door swung open and I was yanked out but Luna who pinned me to the wall.
"Enjoy the show back there you little peeping tom?" she asked but didn't sound mad about it in the slightest.
Luna pulled back my hood was looked shocked by what she saw. Her turquoise eyes met with mine and just held each other in place for a moment and a blush formed on her face then that sly grin of hers.
"My, aren't you cute, you must me a human. About time, my sister tends to bring fugly ones here but you are quite the exception, so is this the one you've been keeping your eyes on sis?"
"His name is Jake Delta; I brought him here about an hour ago. Now let him go Luna you're making him uncomfortable."
Luna's hand made its way to my chest and was slowly traveling downward. Shit, not good.
"He doesn't look that way to me," she said, the sound of her breath echoing in my ear and making me shutter against my will.
When I felt a tug at my buckle was when I reacted and shoved Luna off of me before she took things too far. But looking at the distance I made between us it was a little more for someone like me to pull off.
'Whoa, I don't recall being that strong. Is this because of this world, will I get stronger if I level up?'
"Not bad, I like a man who takes control. Just makes it all the more fun," Luna said when she stood, a dark blue aura fuming around her body.
Checking the display HUD I wasn't all that surprised when I saw that her level was only a few numbers behind her sister. It would probably suicide to take her on at my current level so there was only one other option to take at the moment.
"See ya," I said as I turned and ran like hell out the room.
Cowardly I know, but getting violated by a pervert wasn't on my schedule today. I wasn't really sure where I was going but anywhere was better than where she was. Making random turns and asking a few confused guards that I bumped into, I made it out of the castle and made for the city hopefully to lose the crazed princess that was hot on my trail.
I really wanted to look around the city to see if any other games that it consisted of but my luck soon ran out when I cornered myself like an idiot.
"There you are."
"Shit, gotta think of something fast. Wait, I have the Outsider's powers so why am I running like a fool?"
My mark started to glow and Luna only chuckled in amusement. "You think that will me enough to put me down Rooky, at your level you won't even put a scratch on me. Now, be a good human and just come with-"
In the middle of her speech, I used Blink and found my way to the roof of the building in a flash, laughing myself when I saw her face.
"I don't need to put you down, just out run and outsmart you. Later."
While running on the roof tops I could help the feeling of euphoria that was going through me at the moment. Jumping gaps with ease, pulling off landings that I couldn't do before, it made me feel like I was an actual assassin. I never felt more alive than I have right now.
That soon lead to my downfall when I go careless in thinking I lost Luna that easily. She seemed to come out of nowhere and tried to grab me but I acted quick but mostly out instinct, to use Blink again. Next thing I know I'm falling and landed on conveniently on a fruit stand as luck would have it.
Not the smartest move to make but it got me out of a jam so I count that as a win. But it didn't prove to be enough to lose the psycho bitch from chasing me.
"Let's not draw this out, there's nowhere to go and I'm more powerful than you. You really made me work for it but now I think this little game of cat and mouse is over."
Okay, situation analysis; I've got nowhere to run since she damn well persistent in getting my pants, I'm nowhere near her level of power and the items I have on me right now probably wouldn't do much damage anyway.
So it comes down to this one other option that was more than likely borderline between very bold or very stupid.
"I challenge you to a dual!" I shouted, confusing all that where watching and even Luna momentarily.
"Um, what?" she asked.
"You want me that bad then fight for me; if I lose then I go peacefully. But if I win you leave me alone. Sound like fair terms?" I said.
There was silence all around, no one so much as whispering until the princess nodded her and opened her menu and sent a dueling request that I quickly accepted, making a timer go start for when the battle was to start.
I needed to think for a minute, odds are she's probably with long ranged attacks and would more than likely keep at a distance where she had the advantage. Or she could be the opposite, an up close in your face kind of fighter and if so I'll be at a disadvantage. Either way, I'll keep fighting her.
I equipped Leon Kennedy's pistols and Altair's sword. I had enough ammo to fight a war and my swordsmanship skill wasn't that shabby either. Looking over at Luna I felt a little blood go down my nose when I saw what she was wearing.
She sported the outfit from Bayonetta and was equipped with her four signature handguns. I had a bit of a weakness for cos-playing girls, mostly when they dress as female characters from games or anime. But I had to focus right now.
The timer was close to zero now and my body started to tremble not sure if from excitement or fear. All I know is that this was really happening. I pulled up my hood and gripped the handles of my pistols, waiting for it to start.
The minute the horn sounded was when I acted and opened fire. I never fired a gun before, it was and an experience, I wasn't really sure of what I was doing but the way my body reacted to the action, it felt as though I'd done this my whole life.
My intended target was faster than I had expected her to be and she closed the gap between us like it wasn't a big deal. Luna shoved the barrel of her gun against my stomach and fired. When she did I had never experienced a pain like I had just now.
I know getting shot is supposed to hurt and everything but it was an understatement. Atleast one third of my HP dropped from just one attack. No, I'm not about to go down like a damn noob especially to her. While she was still within my reach, I kneed her in the stomach and used Blink to get some distance again.
"That was a dirty move; don't think I'm going to take it easy on you when I take you back to my room. You're going to be begging me to stop," she said, licking her lips which sent a chill down my back.
"Pretty sure that's classified as rape but keep dreaming. I intend to win," I said.
Holstering my guns, I drew my sword and decided to take her on face to face but she had the same idea and summoned Bayonetta's samurai sword. Even at the distance I was at I still felt some pretty scary power coming from it.
She was the first to move, coming at me with lightning speed. But with luck I managed to stop her attack in the nick of time but Luna was strong and tried to force me to the ground. Right before she could though, I twisted to the side and made her fall face first into the ground. While I had the chance I stabbed my sword through her back.
I felt proud to have been able to land an attack but it didn't shit when it barely took away any HP from her. When I tried to go for another hit she dodged in time but when doing so something didn't seem right. My body felt heavy and everyone was moving so slow.
'SHIT! She's using Witch Time on me.'
Luna was already up and ready and she proceeded to stab her sword right through my right side that it came out the left. Again came the pain and I thought for sure that I was going to black out from it. My HP reached red already so no doubt I'll more than likely die if I get hit again.
Time for a last ditch effort, I flicked my right hand and my hidden blade came out. I stabbed her in the stomach which caught her off guard then grabbed my pistol and shot her in the head. It wasn't much but I was lucky to just get that.
For a minute I thought I had actually killed her but then saw her get right back up again.
"One more attack will do the trick but I might want to hold back in case if I accidently kill you so I think I'll wrap this up now." Luna took her stance, weapon at the ready.
I took mine by I was shaking a little and my sight was staring to fog up. With my HP down so much it was affecting me like if I was actually on the verge of death. Never thought I go down like this, especially so soon too. With not many options left, I just charged her like a mad man.
Right before either of us could land the attack; a bright and blinding flash appeared between us and stopped us dead in our tracks. Whatever it was it was powerful and made us pale in comparison. The light finally cleared and there standing there holding the blade of our swords with her bare hands was Celestia.
But not Molly, I mean Celestia. The cool gamer girl that I met was replaced by a power being wearing a white dress and hair that resembled an aurora.
"That is enough Luna, you will stop this at once," she said, her eyes turning solid white and the ground below her started to turn scorched.
Luna lost all color in her face and quickly changed back to her normal self but kept her hands up in defense. Celestia turned back to me but had a more worried look and placed her hand against my chest.
"Heal" she said.
A green light glowed from her hand and I could see my HP shooting back up and I felt better again. Celestia changed back to Molly and kept her gaze to the ground, almost like she was ashamed.
"I'm sorry for all the trouble my little sister has cause you today Delta. I never wanted your first day here to be a bad experience and hope that you still consider staying here. But if you are upset and want to go back home and not come back than I will make it happen," she said.
The way she said made me feel bad. It's not like it's her fault all this happened, her sister was responsible for making me run. Besides, I didn't want to leave this world because of one little fuck up, this was the most fun I've had my whole life, minus the almost getting rapped part.
"Are you kidding, I'm not going anywhere Molly," I said, making her look up in surprise.
"R-Really?" she asked.
"Yup, in fact I think I'll be coming here very frequently. There is a lot in this world I want to try out and there is no way in hell I'm going to pass that up. Plus, your my friend remember. Don't want to lose the only one I've got, right?"
Molly's response to that was surprising, meaning she grabbed me with a tight hug that actually made my HP go down a few. It was kind of nice to see her happy.
"It getting late," she said.
Looking at my phone I saw that she was right, it was almost 11 o'clock even though the sun was still out. I needed to get back home before my parents noticed that I'm gone.
"We'll pick this up tomorrow Delta, till then see you later," Molly said before touching my forehead and everything went black.
Please Review if not that's cool too.
