- It's your day off work, so you're doing what you always do.
- Wander ponyville and watch the ponies get their shenan on! Again!
- You have alot of days off work. But you're paid well enough you can afford it.
- Few dare to gather rare herbs from the depths of the Everfree.
- But you does! Dares! Do!
- The creatures that live there are no match for you.
- It's not that you're super strong, or magic or invincible.
- Well you're moderately resistant to magic but other than that you're the equal of a fit healthy earth pony.
- You do have one advantage though. You're human.
- And that means you're capable of viciousness, violence and cunning that equestrian lifeforms can't match.
- Manticores and timberwolves expect things to run FROM them, not run AT them with a spear.
- Though to be honest you could defeat most things in the Everfree without channeling your inner caveman
- Bapping them on the nose with a rolled up newspaper would do.
- But enough reminiscing. Time to catch up on the town gossip. You wonder where Rarity is.
- Wait is that rainbow outside the school? And who the hell is the Browny McFrownerson with her?
- "Hey Dash!"
- "Oh hey Anon, can't stop to talk, gotta alot of stuff to do."
- She looks back at frowny brown.
- "Professional stuff."
- "Oookay but before you go, what are you doing at the school."
- "Just talking to the fillies and foals about carrying our AWESOME flag at the Equestria Games!"
- Browny Frown coughs loudly
- "Sorry Anon, gotta go!"
- Equestria games eh?
- -----One interminable lecture from Twilight later-----
- So you've worked out that the Equestria games is basically pony olympics
- And that browny frown is the head of some organising committee
- "Well thanks for answering all my questions with that very, very, very detailed lecture Twilight"
- "You're welcome Anon, I'm always glad to teach you more about Equestria!"
- Twilight again proves that ponies will never understand sarcasm.
- "Twilight, could I enter the games as an athlete?"
- Could be fun. Also you've got to teach these ponies to make way for the Homo Superior.
- Twilight however looks very nervous, she's looking everywhere but at you.
- "I- I don't think that's a good idea Anon. The games are, well designed for quadrupeds, not bipeds. And you can't fly or use magic either."
- Bullshit. Racist Equestrians won't keep you out of their games because you're a biped. Triped for the ladies.
- You'll take this shit to the Princesses! Real princesses who live in castles and shit!
- You get up and march towards the door.
- "Anon, where are you going?"
- "You'll see Twilight. You'll all see."
- That sounded way more sinister than it was supposed to.
- 0900.....
- Anon to Base. The Purple Book has left the Shelf. The Purple Book has left the shelf.
- Base to Anon. Operation: DragonFire is a go.
- Sneaking into the library through an open window, you now stand in the middle of the room.
- Now to secure the package for the next stage of your master plan.
- "SPIIIIIIIIIIIIIIKKKKKKKEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!"
- "I'm right here Anon."
- The package is standing right next to you.
- "How long have you been there?"
- "Since you started climbing through the kitchen window." He says with a grin.
- Damn smug dragonling grumble grumble.
- "Spike, take a letter. This one's going right to the princesses. EXPRESS DELIVERY!"
- "Okaaay."
- "Dear Princess Sunbutt and Princess Moonbutt....."
- "Sister, thou called us. We hear there be a letter to us?"
- "Indeed. It's from Anon. He wishes to compete in the Games this year."
- "We see no problem with this. Why wouldst Anon write to us on this matter?"
- "Apparently Twilight tried to discourage him and now he wants to enter as a one pony.. ahem one man team."
- "Why would thine student discourage somepony for wishing to prove their might in honorable competition?"
- "I'm inclined to agree with Twilight, Luna. The events at the Games aren't designed for someone like Anon. He will only end up embarrassing himself."
- "We think thou underestimate Anon. In fact, we name him our Champion for the Games. Would thou care to pit thine own against mine?"
- "I don't have one Luna. But I will make a wager if you like."
- "Very well Sister. If our Champion wins at least 7 medals of any kind thou must give up thine cakes for a month!"
- "And if he fails you have to wear socks to the next Royal Court after the Games."
- "TIS AGREED!"
- "Inside voice sister."
- -----One Day Later-----
- You're officially a competing athlete. By royal Proclamation too.
- Now you've got to prepare. You'll show those confounded ponies what's what.
- And the princesses sent you a list of events too. Ok, what can you actually compete in?
- Aerial Relay. Nope, only one man
- Aerial Sprint. With a little human ingenuity perhaps.
- Ice Archery. Ha ponies don't know you're descended from the green archer, Robin Hood. Inside your mind.
- Apple-Bucking? Not even gonna touch that one
- Wrestling. I'm the tower of power, to sweet to be sour, funky like a monkey, OOOOOH YEAH!
- Swimming. In the bag, not even sure ponies can swim.
- Tae-hoof-do. Yeah sure, I watched karate kid. I'll wax their shit.
- Figure Skating. Gay
- Figure Flying. Gayer?
- Javelin. How would a pony even throw a spear?
- Sprint. As long as there's no zebra's I can take it.
- Marathon. Fucking zebra's better not be like kenyans.
- Qualifiers in a month. Oh man, you can't waste time.
- "TO THE TRAIN STATION!"
- "Anon who are you talking to?"
- "Oh. Spike. You're still here?"
- -----The next day in Saddle Arabia-----
- "Come! Come my Friend! I have special price just for you!"
- The pony in the sand covered robe waves you inside.
- "So you got the stuff I asked for Horssan?"
- "Yes, yes. Come my friend. Is just there."
- Indeed it is. Four big ass pots of black, gloopy bullshit.
- And more importantly the key to one of your future victories
- "Crazy Horssan's prices are crazy. But I am wondering. Why would my friend be crazy enough to pay so much for useless black slime?"
- "Far from useless Horssan. Far from useless. Hehahahaha! HAHAHAHAHAHA!"
- -----One month later-----
- Rainbow Falls is way too much like Candyland. Even for this dimension. All that's missing is the Chocolate Brick Road.
- "YEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!"
- "HEY BULK"
- Can't see /fit/pony incarnate but you did expect someone like him to be here.
- You managed to skip most of the other Qualifiers, Royal Dispensation fuckers. But no dice on the flying for obvious reasons.
- Time to register, kick ass and take names. You're going to show these ponies the Glory of Olympus
- "Name and team please."
- "Anonymous. The Glorious Free Republic of 4chanistan."
- "The qualifier for aerial sprint is in 6 hours. Cutting it kind of short there ain't ya."
- The pony with the clipboard finally looks up at you.
- "HEY! You don't have wings!"
- Awww, the pony thinks you aren't prepared.
- "Humans don't fly like ponies do."
- The little pony looks at you skeptically but waves you in.
- "Anon? What are you doing here?"
- "Twilight. I'm here to compete."
- "COMPETE?!"
- You chuckle and walk away leaving the purple pone spluttering with confusion.
- -----6 hours later at the starting line-----
- "YAY NONNY!"
- My god. Pinkie dressed as a cheerleader. You're honestly not sure whether to get a boner or have a heart attack.
- "Hey Pinkie, you guys come to cheer me on?"
- "Yepper-roonie"
- "Ah'm more interested in seein ya fly sugarcube."
- "Yeah Anon. How could you not tell me you can fly? I could have taught you some totally awesome moves."
- "Erm... Anon.. What's that big thing on your back? If you don't mind me asking...."
- "ON YOUR MARKS!"
- You pull your best heroic pose and hit the big red button on your chest.
- Two huge steel grey wings shoot out of your jetpack. Ponies leap back in surprise.
- "To infinity."
- "READY!"
- "AND BEYOND!"
- "GO!"
- *BOOOMFWOOOOOOSSSHHHH*
- Who knew your limited knowledge of engineering and the cartoon physics of this world could let you build a working jetpack.
- -----X months later at the Equestria Games------
- It is a time of joy and sorrow, joy because you're about to dominate these scrubs.
- Sorrow because it hasn't gone completely to plan.
- For one, your country's flag of two crossed dragon dildos over a mound of dragon dildos motif was veto'd by the organizers
- You've had to use the back up, two russians fighting over a pineapple.
- But worst of all, they confiscated your 'Dick Dastardly Olympic Games Cheating Kit'
- To be fair you probably should have waited until you passed security before twirling your mustache.
- But god damn it if that shit is not addictive.
- -----Later in the Commentary booth-----
- "Hello everypony and welcome to the first day of the Equestria Games, I'm Mic Stand"
- "And I'm Pone Madden, and let me tell you Mic, it looks like it a great event."
- "You're absolutely right Madden, and the first event of the day is the Sprint."
- "Now the favorite for this event is Fleet Hoof from Manehatten."
- "Now there's a pony who when he runs, he moves faster."
- "....ok. He may be the favorite but there is a wildcard athlete. Anonymous the human!"
- -----Down on the starting line-----
- Think like a kenyan Anon, come on. Think like a kenyan.
- Channel your inner african.
- "Contestants on your marks."
- Picture yourself wearing a loincloth and hunting antelope
- Picture yourself running from a lion.
- "Set."
- Picture yourself running from a lion who is also a police officer.
- NAAAAAAAAAAAA SEVENYA! BABAGITZI BABA!
- "GO!"
- -----Back in the Commentary Booth-----
- "First place for the human. What a turn of events."
- "Absolutely Mic, this will definitely shake up the other competitors."
- "And if the other competitors get rattled, it might make it easier for Anonymous."
- "Here's a human who can use his arms and legs at the same time."
- "Madden, he's the only creature here with arms....."
- -----In the Royal Booth-----
- Wrestling is your favourite part of the games.
- You'd never admit it though, what your little ponies would think if their princess was 'enjoying' this particular event.
- Especially when it's two sweaty stallions, rubbing and grinding against each other.
- Oh, you hope the next event is two stallions.
- "Greetings Sister."
- Luna enters the booth grinning broadly.
- "Luna, you look happy."
- Probably for the same reason you are.
- "Anon has won two medals sister, javelin and sprint. We hope thou are looking forward to a cake free month."
- "Only two Luna, he has to win seven."
- You're getting smug too soon Luna.
- "Soon to be three sister. The next match is the final and tis Anon competing."
- Well see about that, his opponent is the largest minotaur you've seen in centuries.
- "Speaking of which, where is Anon. His opponent is waiting."
- Everyone's waiting, the match should have started five minutes ago.
- The sky suddenly clouds over, casting the arena into darkness.
- What's going on, this isn't the weather planned for today...
- *KRAKOOM* A bolt of lightning cleaves the sky and booming voice yells out across the Arena.
- "IF YOU SMEEEELLLLLL WHAT THE ANON IS COOKING!"
- The sky instantly clears and you spot an oiled up Anon striding down to the ring wearing only shoes and a tight fitting black loincloth.
- Oh my......
- -----Next day at the swimming pool-----
- You are Anon, and you're confused and disappointed.
- You prepared for this event hard, just like the others.
- A week was spent with Rarity trying to invent something close to lycra so you could have your speedos and swimcap thing.
- Hell you even shaved all your back and leg hair off to become more hydrodynamic, if that's the word for it.
- Apparently that was time poorly spent.
- You'd been drawn in the third group, which was lucky. You'd have plenty of time to psyche yourself up.
- And analyse the competition, look for weaknesses, study equestrian swimming styles.
- Well the psyching up didn't happen and the study could barely be called a study, more of a passing observation.
- As it turns out there's only two swimming styles.
- The pony paddle, which is essentially doggy paddle with hooves. And the duckstroke, where they attempt to mimic a duck.
- It's cute. Ridiculously so, even by pony standards.
- It doesn't help the pool is only about four or five foot deep.
- You could just stand up and walk it.
- And so you're left with a dilemma. You want to win but even a half decent swimmer could dominate here.
- Where exactly is the line between winning and showing off like a dickhead?
- You already feel like a bit of dick for shaving your body.
- Things have been going well, very well. You've already got five medals.
- Sprint, javelin, wrestling, swimming and marathon.
- Only one of them is gold but that's pretty good for the most unathletic man in the world.
- Though as the only man, you're also the most athletic man in the world.
- A conundrum for the philosophers.
- It's not all gone your way though. You washed out of the figure skating.
- You blame that one on not being gay enough to figure skate.
- And not having the right physique for spandex.
- And then there was the figure flying.
- As much as building a jetpack inflated your ego, one look at what the other competitors were doing sent you back to the locker rooms with the proverbial tail between your legs.
- You're crazy but not that crazy.
- Which just leaves three events, Tae-Hoof-Do, Ice Archery and the Aerial Sprint.
- You are Striking Hoof. Master of Tae-Hoof-Do and owner of the Canterlot Dojo.
- You've been drawn in the final bout against the human.
- Unfortunately you've been unable to witness any of his matches, his technique is a mystery.
- But he must have some to have progressed this far.
- You did see his wrestling though, he has reach, strength and is rather unorthodox.
- To be on the safe side you engage in an acrobatic display of kicks, spins and flips.
- In a novice such a display would be a sign of arrogance, not at all in keeping with the Way of the Water Hoof.
- But you are a master, fully in control of your emotions and well aware that the battle begins in the mind before the body.
- The human responds by singing. Loudly.
- "YOU'RE THE BEST AROUND!"
- He then extends his arms above his head like two rearing snakes.
- "NOTHINGS GONNA KEEP YOU DOWN"
- He finishes his stance by standing on one leg like some kind of wading bird.
- "YOU'RE THE BEST AROUND!"
- It looks like a stiff breeze would make him lose his balance.
- "NOTHINGS GONNA KEEP YOU DOWN"
- You share a look with the referee who only shrugs in response.
- The referee sweeps a hoof down "Fight."
- Best end this quickly....
- You are Princess Twilight and you felt that one from here.
- You should have put an end to this long ago.
- Every match has begun and ended the same way.
- Anon would yell out his ridiculous war chant and adopt some kind of Monkey Pone-Fu stance.
- The challenger would approach and Anon's leg would snap out like a viper.
- And each challenger would be flipped onto their back with a broken jaw.
- Twelve broken jaws! TWELVE!
- This isn't honorable Pone-Fu, the art of self defense!
- It's a bucking brutal assault!
- "Anon are you in here?"
- You need to talk to Anon about what happened earlier, hopefully you'll catch him before the archery event.
- "Yeah I'm here Twilight."
- Anon walks out of a changing cubicle.
- "Anon what the buck are you wearing? Nevermind I need to talk to you abo-"
- "How are my seams Twilight?"
- "Wha-"
- "Perfect. Every time. I tell ya, you've got to be a man to wear tights."
- Music starts up from nowhere. Music? Anon doesn't have the power of song...
- In unison all the cubicle doors open and a dozen Anons step out all dressed the same.
- "We're Men. We're men in tights. We roam around Equestria looking for fights!"
- Wha- Who? How? Singing? Anons!
- "We're Men. Manly Men! We're men in tights. Yessss"
- Thou are Princess Luna, Glory of the Night and Mistress of Dreams.
- And thou can barely stop thyself from squealing in delight.
- Thy Champion, Anon, is but one medal away from victory.
- Your victory more precisely, your mind already conjures images of rubbing your nose in cake because thy sister may not.
- A cheer from crowd heralds Anon's arrival on the field.
- The sight is strange, Anon's wings are huge, the size of his torso even while at rest.
- How has he concealed them until now?
- Anon takes his position at the start and his wings unfurl, iron grey and bald of feathers.
- And such an impressive wingspan, thine own wings begin to rise.
- "FOR THE EMPEROR!"
- You have no time to comprehend what emperor he speaks of, for at that moment he launches skyward with the sound of thunder on a plume of fire.
- Thunder. Fire. Wings. Of course it makes perfect sense. Anon must be part phoenix!
- But this is not time for such thoughts, a month of cake hangs in the balance.
- Returning your mind to Anon's performance it's clear he will not seize the gold medal.
- He has the edge on speed, indeed he is swifter than even the Wonderbolts.
- But his finesse is poor, he flies wide to take even the simplest turns.
- Thou art on the edge of thy seat as he approach the final stretch.
- *CLAAAANNGGGGGGGGG*
- ANON! NO! He's hit the last flight ring!
- Come on my champion, keep going. Cross that line.
- ----Meanwhile in Anon's head----
- JESUS FUCK CHRIST!
- That was a bad one. Stupid.
- A brief glance to the left reveals the wing is bent out of shape.
- Throwing caution to the wind, ha pun, you put the pedal to metal.
- Hoping to cross the line before you totally lose control.
- You can already feel the pack trying to spiral.
- Wrestling with the controls, you just about manage to cross the line before losing it.
- The only thing you can do now is close your eyes, cover your head with your arms and hope you don't die.
- ....
- ....
- You feel a heavy impact that knocks the wind out of you.
- And the sound of metal shearing apart.
- Also the sensation of spinning end over end.
- The unpleasant and bizarre thought enters your mind that this experience is remarkably similar to falling down a flight of stairs.
- Eventually you come to a halt and open your eyes, the world won't stay still, everything keeps spinning.
- You can just about make out a Moonbutt looking down at you.
- "ANON! THINE WING! MY CHAMPION! SPEAK TO US!"
- Stomach to brain, we need to vomit.
- "I'm ok Lun-BLLRRGHHELLLL"
- ----2 weeks later in Canterlot----
- It was nice of the princesses to invite you to lunch.
- Cake and coffee.
- Strange Celestia isn't eating any.
- You'd heard she loved cake.
