What up viewers?
Just a little heads up before you get into the story:

- I created this when I was 12 y/o, so the plotlines and characters may seem... juvenile

- The steads mentioned in the dialogue are anthropomorphic: meaning they wear clothes, walk upright on two hooves, and have hands like normal humans. However, they still have unique qualities like unicorn horns, pegasi wings, as well as a luscious mane and fur that coats their bodies

- please try to take it easy on me in the comment section, I'm still fairly new to this...

CHAPTER 01) 100 years later

In Consciousness, a sparkling silver city, lush and green with a massive tree in the center and encompassed by the Academy of The Trinity, the city was walled off from the outside world for defense against the Iniquity. The people there prospered under the protection under the three heroes of old, and today was a very special day for them. It was graduation day for the schools of the city, and that was the day when the heroes chose a student to mentor and fend off the forces of darkness as they did. Flask Elric was one such up comer, as was his friend Tremor Powers.

The graduation ceremony took place within the Academy training grounds: as the city's residents cheered you on from the stands, you'd need to use all over your learned skills to defeat an arena champion, a massive automaton with long blades, all barring a different design. Multiple students were up for the decision of being one of the next heroes. There was Flask, as well as a few students from the Intuition of Apprentice Alchemists, two groups of six from the Equestrian Academy in Canterlot, Tremor from Death City, and other students from all over Dreamscape, and only 3 of them would be chosen to lead all of them into battle.

As the arena was divided and walled into multiple sectors, one for each student, they would face off against their automaton. In Flask's corner, he faced off against a relatively humanoid automaton. Using the alchemic markings on the steel prosthetics he had received as a kid due to his limbs being severely damaged in an accident, he used the science of Alchemical transmutation to transform the metal on one of his forearms into a sharp blade. Flask managed to slice off one of the blades of the automaton, but the robot's blades managed to swing around as he did so. He was able to block the blade, however, but it severely dented both of the exteriors of his arm prosthetics, and this angered him immensely. Coming back around, he exclaimed to the machine, "What's say I play mechanic..." as he slid under the oncoming blades, he clapped his hands together to transmute and firmly pressed them on the side of the automaton, "and take a look under your hood!?" It's heavily armored exterior began to crumble away, causing it to collapse without its armor supporting its inner structure.

In Tremor's corner, he faced off against a snake-shaped automaton with multiple blades running up and down its body to the end of its tail. Using his distinctive agility, he began to slice the machine from head to tail. Managing to peel off one of the robot's armored plates as well as pulling off its head at the seams, expecting it to shut down form the damage, the machine continued its pursuits. "Stubborn piece of junk isn't it?" He muttered to himself, as he rushed behind it, being cut by the blades in the process but none of them hitting deep enough to draw blood, he grabbed it by the none bladed joints before its tail and swung it into a far wall. Then to finish it off, he grabbed one of the blades that fell off its chassis and spear threw it into the snake automaton's inner mechanisms, resulting in its detonation. Thus sealing Tremor's graduation into one of the open spots, with two more remained.

Flask was still preoccupied with defeating his automaton, he teased the nearly beaten machine by holding it up in the air with one arm as it's blades thrashing about like a child throwing a tantrum. However, one of the blades managed it hit his arm in just the right spot, making it buckle under the weight and resulting in Flask dropping the machine. Having to evade by rushing backward and holding his arm to his side as it could no longer function, the machine pursued him by carrying itself on its blades. Flask struggled to gain distance to transmute and repair his damaged arm. The crowd watching his corner cried with worried gasps as he tripped over one of the robot's extracted armor plates. As the robot rushed forward to finish him, he managed to impale it with jagged armor before it could crush him under its own weight. The crowds cheered as both Flask and one of the Equestrian transfers finished off their respective automatons and graduated to being one of the next heroes of Dreamscape.
