Hey, I added you, but I think you denied it? (Name is 47 the Hitman btw)

Zoinks!

So I started playing Viktor a couple of days ago. I don't know why people don't play him more often; he's a pretty good champ once you get his mechanics down.

The Changeling grunted, then smiled slightly. "...Very well. I'll show you that I am more than enough to take over your position..." He looked at her dead in the eye. "Count on it..." As he was saying these things, he began to think about the first time he saw her in the throne room, about how hostile he had been to her from the start because his first impression of her was a stuck up, spoiled girl. He then began to think maybe she wasn't so bad after all.

The heroes of Equestria

Did you know this blue door leads to spaaaaaaaaace?

The gang's all here...

@Pripyat Pony I'll try and fast forward the RP to the next day soon, Asdrubael Vect told me he would be away for a whhile, and I've been stuck considering posts (except when I play The Changeling (yes, I'm making him a central character now)), but I'll find a way.

The changeling sighed in relief. Looking at Chrysteel, he began feel different about her. That feeling of wanting to fight her began to fade slowly. He walked up to her. "Hey... I know this isn't a good time, but about the duel tomorrow... I'm not sure if I still want to do this... I mean, isn't there another way we can settle this?"

Raze was still mesmerized by Starswirl's vision, and it took him a few seconds to actually snap back to the real world. When he did, he yelped, jolting a bit forward... And down to the ocean below. He screamed in terror as he quickly neared the icy waters, entering them with a huge splash. At first he thought it would be extremely freezing... but for some reason, the waters were strangely warm, soothing even. He looked around. There were schools of fish swimming around him in a spiral pattern, which confused him. He drifted downwards for a while, the surface slowly fading from view, until he reached the ocean floor... But something wasn't right. Looking at the ground, he could see his reflection. He gently tapped it, and it made a ripple. Was this... the ocean surface? What... What's going on? he thought, looking down. He swam towards it, and found himself resurface again. He took a minute to get some air and check his surroundings. He had resurfaced in a small circular ice hole. The cliff was gone, and all around him was an icy landscape with a gentle snowfall. Although there were no clouds, the sky was grey and bleak. He got out of the water. Although it looked cold here, he didn't feel it. "Where... Am I?" he said to himself.

The pony who spoke before, appearing to be the leader of the group, smirked. He revealed himself to be a unicorn, his horn glowing and omitting a ward to counteract the spell. "Don't think I don't know a counter spell or two. Besides, you think this all of us?" He raised a makeshift bell, made from a pipe, tin can, and a metal ball inside, and began to swing it, making lots of noise. "Hey you guys! Wake up! We got fresh meat over here!" Within seconds, a large crowd of about 35 other ponies came in from all directions, armed with pipes, knives, bats, anything that could be used to hurt someone. The pony leader sent a large blast in the air, which diverged into smaller streams of magic energy that hit the other lowlives. "Now they see what's behind that illusion of yours," he said. "Where were we? Ah right..." He looked to the others. "Let's bag some changelings! Show 'em no--" His sentence was interrupted by something piercing his chest. Looking down, he saw that he had been shot. Turning around, he saw the changeling pointing a silenced pistol at him. He stared in surprise for a second before he collapsed. The changeling turned to Chrysteel, then grabbed her by the hoof and quickly ran away from the crowd, which was coming after them.

@@Midnight_Aurora, The changeling was just about to reply, when suddenly, a small group of ponies began walking through the station. They were a bunch of lowlives, hanging around here since they had nothing else better to do than to vandalize property and make a general mess of things. Only these lowlives seemed... different. For starters, a couple of them seemed to have firearms with them, no doubt obtained through illegal means. One of them spotted the changeling and the disguised Chrysteel and yelled: "Hey fellas! Look what we got here! It's a changeling, and no doubt one of them loyalist scumbags. Listen here buddy. After hours, this is our turf. No one comes in without our permission. And if we catch any trespassers here, we need to... sort them out. Get what I'm saying?" At the last sentence, one of the ponies in the back pumped a shotgun.

"I wouldn't know of anything..." Raze said, as he flipped through Starswirl's journal, looking through the pages, but found nothing. "No, this can't be it... there's got to be something!" He flipped through the pages more vigorously, almost tearing some of them, until he came to a particular page with a strange marking. His hoof accidentally touched it, and suddenly images began to pour into his mind, his eyes turning completely white... From inside his mind, he saw the same cliff and ocean, but from someone else's eyes, and that someone was moving towards it slowly. He wasn't in control; all he could do was watch. At first, I wasn't sure what to think when I had seen the dead end... a voice echoed inside Raze's head... someone's thoughts... Starswirl? Which, if it was true. meant he was looking through his eyes as well. The thoughts continued. But then I realized... I knew I had arrived... He looked down into the ocean. ...All I had to do was jump. He began to run, and as much as Raze wanted to stop him, he had no control over it. He leaped off from the cliff, quickly approaching the icy depths below. It was when he about to submerge that the vision had ended, and Raze found himself back in the real world, the book on the ground in front of him.

The changeling shook his head. His memory was a blur. "Is that what happened now? I can't even remember..." he said. "But nevermind that now. What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be returning to the castle? Your mother wouldn't like you wandering around a town like this without her knowing..."

@@Midnight_Aurora, The changeling at the station was waiting at the station, when he felt a familiar presence around him. Looking around, he walked to where he thought the presence was coming from... which was a unicorn stallion. However, from up close, he could easily sense who it really was. "What are you doing?" he said to Chrysteel.

As the group traveled, more mythical creatures could be seen in the distance. Floating snakes made of ice, known as Ice Serpents, slithered past the group, moving as if they were swimming in a sea of air. The cold wind picked up a bit, sending a small gust towards Raze and the group, which blew cold air and some snow in their faces. It had been a while since they walked. There was nothing but just more snow for miles around. It seemed to Raze that they were lost, when suddenly, they came across something. Something that shouldn't have been there. They had reached the end of the path, which was a sheer drop to an cold ocean below them. Large chunks of frozen ice littered the water, only seperated inches from each other. "This... isn't right..." Raze said, looking through the map, however there wasn't anything to look at anymore. The map trail had ended at the mountain they had left a few hours ago. No pony had probably never located a place such as this before. He looked to his left and right. The path and the ocean seemed to stretch on endlessly. He then turned to face the group. "Well.. what now?" he said. "Got any bright ideas? Anyone, anyone?"

Raze nodded, finishing up the work on White's wound. "Yeah... seems like such a long time ago when it was like that... there's always something that has to happen that takes that peace away from us..." He stood up, finished with the wound. He looked out the window. "I need to go," he said, looking back at White. "I'll come back here tomorrow, if you want. It feels so nice seeing you again..." He kissed White on the cheek. "When you find your mom, why don't move in with me to Ponyville? It's nice and quiet over there, and the folks there are friendly when it comes to newfolk... especially one particular pink pony..." He laughed slightly when he thought about the crazy pony at Sugar Cube Corner.

"Alright then," Raze said to Lightning, gathering his things. "Let's get out of here first. We've been around here too long as it is..." ----------------- Time passes ----------------- It had been two hours since Raze and the group left the mountain. The blizzard had ceased, and the sun was shining high, the sky blue and clear. They were walking on an open field of snow, when suddenly, something brushed passed the group and flew into the air. It was a Windigo, which was followed by three more that flew up with it. They didn't seem to mean any harm, as they were just circling around each other, and Raze thought that this particular region could be their home. He wasn't surprised by their presence; he had seen so many things already that nothing seemed to bother him anymore. The journey changed him, and he was fully aware of that. "We must be close..." he said, admiring the view. ((Ambiance music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Slq4PctrR0Q

You will submit....

As Chrysteel left White's house, Raze stood there. He thought he should have done something about it, but he didn't. He sighed, then turned his attention back to White's wound, replacing the bloodied cloth with another one that had disinfecting alcohol on it. He gently put it on her wound. After a few minutes, he spoke. "I'm sorry about that sudden outburst, hun..." he said to White. "I... didn't know what came over me; I was just so angry..."

Raze looked at the changeling. "Site? You mean the destroyed building? Not far, about a 30 minute walk," he said bluntly. "Your 'friend' is most likely dead anyway. No one could have survived that explosion... ------------ Meanwhile --------------- The changeling was walking back to take the next train going to Canterlot. He was exhausted, and didn't have the energy to fly back. He sighed. If it wasn't for the rubble that fell on him back at the building, he would've been dead. He had an especially hard time getting past the dozens of reporters at the scene as well. His head still felt fuzzy from the blow to his neck. He didn't remember who hit him, but he didn't care about that now. He just wanted to go home. He had a duel tomorrow, after all.

Raze, after listening to what Chrysteel had to say, followed by White's attempt to calm him down, lowered the gun slowly, putting it back into his coat. "Hmph," he grunted, as he reached for a T.V remote next to him. He turned on the T.V in the room, which was playing the news. Apparently, he turned it on in the middle of a story, with a unicorn mare reporting it. "...eyewitnesses claim that they had seen an giant explosion coming from the building. One witness, who was at the scene a few minutes before the explosion, claimed he had heard shooting coming from the roof, followed by fire shortly afterwards..." Raze's looked up when he heard the story. It was covering their attack on the building. "Suspects have not been named, although according to the evidence gathered by police, those who were responsible for the same attack on the building in Ponyville just a few hours ago may have been responsible for this one as well. Both were inhabited by changelings, and whoever broke in also had the intention of eliminating everyone inside. The changeling government has yet to comment on this issue..." Raze turned it off. "Well... looks like we're famous," he said sarcastically.

@, @@Midnight_Aurora, Raze looked at White, the gun still pointed at Chrysteel. "Oh, I forgot you don't know yet... Well, meet the daughter of the changeling queen, disguised as some pegasus from the countryside or something like that. And now she's telling me she wants to help..." He scoffed, looking back at the changeling. "Where were you when Fillydelphia was bombarded by YOUR kind, huh? Why didn't you help then, huh?! You know how many of my friends from the war you and your mother killed there?! DO YOU?!?!?! ANSWER ME!!!!!" He pointed the gun at her head.

@Lightning Bliss Royal looked around. "I did?" he said, then heard commotion. Peeking his head over, he saw Hurricane, completely corruption free, happily conversing with Clover. "Huh... I guess I did," he said before getting face hugged by Artemis. He smiled slighty. "Hey there, kid. I see you're glad to see me..." he said, petting the small hippogryph.

@@Midnight_Aurora, "As bad as it looks," he said to her, completely forgetting a changeling was in the room with them. Once he realized, he quickly took his hoof off of White's face , and drew his MP5 out, pointing it at Chrysteel. "Ah, ah, ah! Get back. I don't need help from you, thank you very much. As far as I'm concerned, you're a hostage. So keep your mouth shut until I tell you to speak." he realized he had his mask off, meaning she could see his face clear as day, but he didn't care now.
