The Deutsch Texan

 

 

His guitar, under the gentle fingers, sings

As he clumsily plucks at the heart strings.

His life shifts from the ghetto to night clubs

As, on the turntable, he cranks up the wubs.

 

Deutsch Texan with an emerald-masked girl,

He will make us all smile until Armageddon;

Hey br0n3 DJ, keep making the vinyl whirl

So that, with your music, the place gets laden.

 

Out in the street, he runs and jumps over walls;

He is indeed an energetic ninja full of fluff,

When not DJing extasy through crowded halls.

He has a heart so kind while staying tough.

 

Even in the face of bullying, he will not back up;

They probably expect him to go away in disgrace,

But when they knock him down, he just gets up

To be the bigger man - brohoof them in the face!

 

He can assert himself, not sit down and brood,

Able to strike back rather than growl then yelp.

But don't swat the Mesquito, he won't suck blood;

He'll hold his promises to you, do his best to help.

 

His guitar, under the gentle fingers, sings

As he clumsily plucks at the heart strings.

His life shifts from the ghetto to night clubs

As, on the turntable, he cranks up the wubs.

 

He likes musical rewards for supporting you,

Metal and wubs, preferred liquid like mercury.

He has been practicing lines and colors, too,

Between hours spent serving the community.

 

If you have a computer problem, just chill,

He knows his mother boards and chips well.

And when he takes his hammer and anvil,

You know your sword will be strong and swell.

 

The artistic soul inhabiting him is proven trusty,

His chances of falling down are less than slim.

His taste in art is dark, and one may say rusty;

He likes nice stories, but prefers them grim.

 

Deutsch Texan with an emerald-masked girl,

He will make us all smile until Armageddon;

Hey br0n3 DJ, keep making the vinyl whirl

So that, with your music, the place gets laden.[/spoiler]

Brave Feather Knight

By: Samuel White

[Poem of his bravery]

 

Oh Brave Feather knight so noble and strong,

push through the pain, no matter how long.

Raising your weapon for those who are cursed,

holding your head high and keeping you lips pursed.

You cleanse the souls of those who are impure,

keeping them free so the devil cannot lure.

Oh, Brave Feather Night, I pledge my sword to the,

as you stay aloft, so graceful and free.

As the ponies sleep, while you stay at flight,

they know they will be safe, because of a lone Brave Feather Knight

Chapter 1: Bravery in Ponyville

 

The sun was setting in Ponyville on a warm, peaceful day as Feather Spiral was walking home from the market, collecting necessities and miscellaneous items for his new home. Feather Spiral was a tall, dark blue pony with a darker blue mane and a feather as a cutie mark. He moved to Ponyville only a week ago, trying to get away from all the glam in Canterlot, being an ex-royal guard for the night princess Luna herself. As he walked down the long road through the city, he spotted an interesting mare out of the corner of his eye. She was a black and white mare with the most beautiful mane in all of Equestria, as was her cutie mark. It looked like a record with a multitude of colors surrounding it. As he looked at this mare, he didn’t notice that she was watching him out of the corner of her eye. “Hey, you know a picture will last alot longer right?” she said, looking directly at him. His face went a bright shade of red as he looked away in embarrassment and started down the path again, that she happened to be right in front of when he looked up again. “So, whats with the soulless stare dude? Trying to get inside my head or something?” she said, giving him a concerned look. “No.. I-I was trying to see what your cutie mark was.” He said. “Looking at my flank huh? What are you , a creepy stalker or something?” she said in a defensive tone. “No! I just,… was wondering how you can get a cutie mark like that.” He said, lying through his teeth. “Oh,…my bad. Well I’m a DJ so, it kinda has a relevance to that.” She said, blushing at her accusation. “Oh, neat. Um….. I have to get back to my cottage. Bye.” Feather said in an embarrassed tone, dashing around the pony. As Feather got to his cottage, he noticed that there was a not taped to his door as he took the note of his door, his face went blank white.

 

Chapter 2: held ransom

 

The note stated:

“Dear Lt. Feather,

The royal guards have sent you this note to inform you that a couple was captured yesterday by a group of changelings a few days ago. As we went to the spot where the couple was last seen, it turns out that your parents were in the area when this happened. We do not know if that group was your parents, but all the clues we picked up are leading to the conclusion that it was. We are working on finding out where the changelings have taken the group, and so far we found trail leads to the entrance of the Everfree forest. We are doing our best effort to catch the changelings, but we haven’t found enough evidence to where they took them. We strongly encourage you not to interfere with the investigation, or we will have to take you into custody until the investigation is over. We hope that you will go the best way, and we will make sure to keep you updated on the investigation as much as we can.

Sincerely, The Royal Guard.”

 

As he finished looking over the note, he knew that the trail would end up dry or they would find the couple in the forest dead. All trials involving the changelings did. He knew he had to take matters into his own hands. He rushed inside his cottage to only hear a knock on his door. It was the DJ mare he met from earlier. “Hey, I just wanted to apologize for treating you like that earlier. I thought you were a creep like all the other stallions in this town.” She said, looking at the ground. “It’s fine. Sorry If I seem rushed, but I have some important business to attend to.” He said as he pulled on his stealth suit, putting various weapons into the multiple holsters. “It looks like it! What, did a group of changelings take you family or something?” she said in a joking tone. “….” He looked at her with a serious face, implying that that was the case. “Oh…..sorry.” she said, feeling more embarrassed than before. “Where did you get all the equipment anyways?” “I’m an ex-royal guard from Canterlot. These are old hand me downs from training camp.” He said as he started to pack a survival pack for his trip. “Well…do you need any help? I’m sure I can be of some assistance!” she said as she struck a fighting pose. “No thanks. I work alone.” He said. “look, I’m going to follow you either way. Now, do you want it by force or choice?” she said in a serious tone. “Do you seriously think you can keep up with me? I’m and ex-guard that guarded Luna herself. I’m sure a local DJ can’t help me anymore than a foal can.” Feather said in an offensive tone. “By force it is then. If I can’t come, I will tell the royal guards that you did it even know they told you not to.” She said. “how do you know about that?” “I didn’t. until now.” She said with a sly smirk on her face. “Damnit! Fine you can come. Just don’t slow me down.” He said as he passed her his back up stealth suit. “……………why aren’t you leaving the room? I don’t want you to look at me while I’m changing!” she said “But you’re already nak-…….fine.” he said as he walked into the kitchen to get food for the survival pack. As he walked back into the room, he noticed that she was already ready for the trip, equipment and all. “How did you…? Nevermind we gotta hurry, lets go!” Feather said as they rushed out the door. Little did they know that a changeling was right outside the window.

 

Chapter 3 : confusion and treachery

 

“Why don’t you just fly?” the mare said, looking at feathers wings. “because I have a follower that doesn’t have any wings.” Feather said as he looked back at her. “So! Doesn’t mean I can’t keep up with you.” She said in a defensive tone. “Then because I travel better on foot. Oh, and whats your name? I don’t think you have told me yet.” “Oh! My name is Viscra. Viscra Maelstrom. Nice to meet you mister…..” “Feather Spiral.” Feather said, picking up the pace. As the neared the entrance of the Everfree forest, Feather noticed that there was another follower. Not a friendly one. “Duck!” Feather said as he stopped in mid tracks, while Viscra did as she was told. Feather rolled over her, kicking the changeling strait in the jaw. “Thought you could spy on me you beast?” Feather said as he kicked the changeling in the side. “Wow! That was awesome!!” Viscra said as she got back up and ran over to Feather. “Amateur…” Feather said as he snapped the changeling’s neck with a twist of his forehoof. “Come on. Lets continue.” Feather said as he started to walk down the path into the Everfree forest. “Uh, thanks for saving me….” Viscra said, bushing at the thought that she would be dead if not for him. “It was nothing really. All in a days work.” Feather said stopping at a random tree to check for a clue. “Look. Se how this tree has some of its barked stripped? It means somepony was trying to grab onto it. Probably trying to get away from somepony else….’ Feather said, implying he knew who it was. “Wow…all of that from a tree? Man, I gotta learn to pay attention… it looks like they headed for that cave over there.” Viscra said pointing towards a cave in the distance. “Good eye. Lets go and check it out.” Feather said as he started to walk towards the entrance. Meanwhile, Viscra was blushing at the comment. For a grumpy stallion, he was kinda cute….

 

Chapter 4 : new pony, old tricks

 

The entrance of the cave looks very creepy. It was as if it was made for those little bugs. The cave was a long, dark tunnel with a few traps that only Feather could notice. “Damn! I forgot my flashlight!....” Feather said as a bright light came from behind him, showing that it was Viscra. “Where did you get that bright of a light?” “did you forget that I’m a unicorn?” Viscra said, pointing to her horn. “You’re a unicorn?.....” Feather said, not believing that he didn’t notice it when he met her. “I thought you noticed every detail Mr. Ex-Royal Guard?” Viscra said in a playful tone. Feather blushed at the comment and stayed silent. A loud scream emanated from deep within the caves that sounded like a mare. “Mom!!! Don’t worry I’m coming to save you!” Feather said as he started to sprint deeper into the cave. All of a sudden, three changelings dropped down out of nowhere , only to be hit square in the head with three flying records. “Told ya I would come in handy.” Viscra said as she winked at Feather. “Thanks. Now lets get going!” Feather said as he acknowledged her and started to blush. Viscra knew he blushed, but she was currently saving someone to acknowledge the fact. They went all the way into the cave, ending in a big room. As they entered the room, they saw 2 ponies in a cage hanging over a long dropped that seemed to never end “Mom! Dad! No!”

 

Chapter 5 : love is the best savior

 

“Let them go!” Feather said as two changelings came up to him and pinned his arms behind his back. They took Viscra and put her in the cage with his parents. “What are you going to do? I dare you to try and stop me. If you get within twenty feet of me, I drop them into the pit of death.” The Queen changelings said. “Who are you!? Why are you doing this to me and my family?!” Feather said as he tried to break out of the two changeling’s grasp. “I am Chrysalis, queen of the changelings! You guards have killed of so many of my loved ones, and now, I get to do the same!” Chrysalis said as she let go of the rope holding the cage. She expected the cage to drop, but she forgot that Viscra was a unicorn. “Feather hurry!!! I can only hold this for a few more seconds!” Viscra said as she was struggling to levitate the cage with all her might. Feather Spiral stretched out his wings and knocked back the changelings holding him back and started to fly towards the cage. “Feather, I’m sorry! I can’t hold it anymore!” Viscra said as her magic dissipated and she passed out from using all of her magic. Feather dashed under the cage and lifted it with all his might and started to carry the cage to safe grounds. “Oh thank god! I thought I was as good as dead” Feathers father said as he laid it on the ground and unlocked the cage with a rock. “Chrysalis, you will pay for what you have done!” Feather said as he made a mad dash for her. “Fool! Do you think you can beat me!?” Chrysalis said as she dodged his tackle and kicked him strait in his stomach. “Ugh!” Feather yelled in pain as he coughed up blood. “Feather no!” his mom said as she started to cry. “Mere fool! You can’t hurt the queen of the changel-…….!!! A splatter of blood hit the wall as Chrysalis’ head fell to the floor and rolled off. “Never hurt my friends!” Viscra said as she walked over and picked her record up off the ground, putting it back in its holster. “Feather! Wake up! Please don’t die! Please!” Viscra said as she kneeled down and started to shake Feather’s body. “Please…….” Viscra said as she leaned in and kissed him. “*Cough Cough!*…….Viscra? What happened?” Feather said as he looked over and saw the head of the changelings queen roll into the pit. “Did…..did you do that?” “I had to! You were in danger! I’m just glad you’re okay.” Viscra said as she hugged him and kissed his cheek. “I’m so sorry for doing this to you….” Was all Viscra could say before Feather pulled her in for a passionate kiss. It lasted several minutes, as they rubbed against each other, embracing each others warmth. As the kissed ended, Feather looked over, “Where did my parents go?” “Probably ran out of the cave…..” “Figured they leave us. Now, lets get out of here shall we?” Feather said as he got up and picked up Viscra. “What are you doing?” Viscra said, although she didn’t mind. “I thought I’d carry you out of here. You look like all the magic has been drained out of you.” Feather said as he started flying towards the exit. “You just want an excuse to touch my flank.” Viscra said as she stuck her tongue out in a playful way. “I don’t see you doing something about it.” Feather said in a playful tone. “That’s because I don’t mind.” Viscra said as she snuggled up to him. “that’s what I thought…..”

 

Epilogue :

 

Viscra Maelstrom was sitting in her and Feather’s new cottage in Ponyville, when she heard a knock at the door. “Yes?” Viscra said. “Are you Miss Viscra?” the stallion at the door said. “Yes I am.” “I’m here to deliver this to you. The pony said it was from a friend. “Thank you.” Viscra said as she signed for the package and took it into the living room. “Who was it?” Feather said, sitting in his chair. “the mail pony. He gave me this and said it was from a friend.” Viscra said as she opened the package. Inside the package was a pair of turntables and a note that said ‘happy anniversary’ in big letters. “What the……. It was you?” Viscra said as she looked at Feather. “Yep. Happy anniversary Viscra.” Feather said as he gave her a hug and kissed her on the cheek. “Aw….. I love you.” Viscra said as she pulled him into a passionate kiss. “I know……I love you too.”

Writing is still a form of art.

However it's hard to compare the two (like apples and oranges)

i do agree competely, perhaps i was missunderstood. i meant visual as in drawing or gaming. me and Feather are the only ones who expressed art through words.

[Mubbins 145]

:V I drew Tyra Banks as a pony for anyone that is wondering. I thought we'd have titles or something so I didn't write anything on the drawing. Everybody did a great job! I like to see all the different things people came up with.

[Victoria and Co. 782]

Gods these are brilliant!

I love them all!

[Dizzy Ditzy Doo! 1,120]

I really liked both Apocalyptic Chaos, and Shankvelds renditions all so much! I can't decide Rawr! *I'm gonna make multiple profiles now so I can cast 2 votes!

 

I really REALLY wish I had mad house photoshopping skills like Cast. I really feel like I didn't do enough...

 

Editted:

 

Ohh gawd...you think Feld0 would mind if I made a good additional 7 accounts to vote!? Everyones work is truly awe inspiring.

I find the lack of replies to this disturbing.

[Doctor XFizzle 8,669]

Yeah! This isn't just for the users involved, it's for everybody! Like it's an art fair for people to view art at.

[VladmireV.S.(Crank) 1,096]

Make a note: i feel like a retard for making a book. only one.........

[Dizzy Ditzy Doo! 1,120]

I was expecting a bigger turn out too, did we do something wrong?

 

Yeah! This isn't just for the users involved, it's for everybody! Like it's an art fair for people to view art at.

 

I felt like this was gonna be BIG, maybe we should have advertised it or something.

 

I even mentioned this activity in my Pony Pile project at the very tip top of my original post too!

 

Make a note: i feel like a retard for making a book. only one.........

 

I should've added text or a crowd of ponies in my last piece...I knew my photoshop skills are horrid, and I meant to add more to the last one, but I just couldn't think anymore at that time. I guess I'm going to finish it sometime soon before Cast gets back from being grounded. u.u

Well.....I can't really choose to be honest. It just makes me smile to see so many wonderful artists showing very nicely done work. Even though I did vote for mine, everybody is still equally perfect. (:

(Oh and some people's work actually surprised me and made me wonder why they haven't made a topic in Fan Art showing off their awesome art?) <3

[Abysmal Hex 33]

Maybe this Xfizzle guy can make it possible for us to cast multiple votes? *Snickers* hehehe

[letterone 1,204]
