private Black Lotus.. Here I come! {RP}

[♞RedLotus♞ 360]

Okay thunder dash lets begin.

 

It was an average day in ponyville, the merchants were ringing their bells that hanged on the stalls, screaming for attention. The citizens walked by examining the deals and goods the merchants had to offer. At the very far end of the circle, was an older pony, (In his late 40's) sitting in his stool, pacing back and forth nervously as if he knew something bad was going to happen.

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,826]

Thunder Dash was walking with the merchants, until he saw at the end of the circle an older pony who was pacing back and forth. He decided to go and talk with him to see what was going on. "Hay, you look kinda nervous, what's up? Anything I could do to help?" Thunder Dash asked.

The merchant looked at thunder dash and placed his hoof ontop of Thunder dash's back to hold himself in place. He stared at Thunder dash and said "I think hes coming sooner or later... I admit that I stole some gems from from a nearby jewler pony" His voice seemed to crack once in a while. "If he finds out that I did this.. I think he might tell.. him.. to come and beat me up" 

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,826]

"I'll protect you from him." Thunder Dash said letting the pony support himself on his back. "Let's just hope that this guy doesn't turn out to be evil 'cause that'll definitely put me at risk for banishment." Thunder Dash thought to himself as he supported the pony on his back. 

[♞RedLotus♞ 360]

"His name is ocelot" said the nervous pony. "Hes very strange, he comes from the everfree forest, some say he has blood of lions or tigers... im not sure.. some thing along those lines" The Merchant looked at thunder dash and hoped he would not abandon him. "Ocelot is very sneaky, hes very skilled in martial arts and can do all sorts of ninja stuff, hes always jumping from roof to roof, flying in the air doing kicks and punches. He earns a living by doing missions for other people, Im too old to fight and Ocelot seems like a big threat to me, do you think if I apologize and give the gems back he might not hurt me?"

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,826]

"If it's the only choice, but hay, you've got a 3rd degree black belt electricity wielding pegasus covering your back." Thunder Dash said spreading his wings. "Now let's get you to whatever his name is." Thunder Dash said. "You can ride on my back and I'll fly you to the Everfree Forest." Thunder Dash suggested.

"Now let's get you to whatever his name is." Thunder Dash said. "You can ride on my back and I'll fly you to the Everfree Forest." Thunder Dash suggested. 

The merchant hopped on thunder dash's back and said "Alright then, but hes not just any martial artist, Some say that he has mastered an ancient martial art called the red lotus, which comes from the everfree forest. His unicorn powers are also mysterious, he doesnt really use canterlot basics... his magic comes from beyond the everfree, no one really knows much about these ancient arts that come from those woods. "The only way to find out about these myths are to explore the everfree forest but no pony has dared to enter since a decade ago." The merchant thought for a moment and stared blankly at you "what about you?" "tell me more about yourself."

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,826]

"Oh, me?" Thunder Dash asked as he lifted off the ground. "Well, I was born and raised in cloudsdale and went nameless for the first few years of my life. It wasn't until a young pegasus got lost in a storm and nopony could find her. I decided to go search for her. As I was searching for her, I was struck by lightning. But I didn't go down. Instead, somehow, the electrcity was absorbed in my body, which gave me the ability to wield it freely. From that day on, I taught myself the art of electric magic, converting electricity into unicorn magic power." Thunder Dash explained as he continued to fly.

 

"I then began my journey in Tae Kwon Do, which I started when I was young. I was one of the best in my dojo. I soon became so advanced, that I used my electric abilities to my advantage during hard fights." Thunder Dash continued.

The merchant was amazed by thunder dash's story, he held tight onto him when they began to lift off. As soon as they headed closer to the forrest, the merchant spotted a mysterious pony, standing on his two back legs only, ontop of a tall tree's branch, with his left front arm around the trunk of the tree, and his other arm inside the jacket of his hoodie. He stood there like a humman, with his hood covering his face, his identity was pure black, you couldnt even see his mouth. The area started to become foggy and misty. 

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,826]

"I think we're getting close". Thunder Dash said to the merchant. He then stopped midair. "Hold up, I'm sensing a strong energy around here." Thunder Dash starting to descend a little bit. He continued to descend into the forest. He then noticed a figure in a tree. "Is that him?" Thunder Dash asked pointing at the pony in the tree.

[♞RedLotus♞ 360]

"I think we're getting close". Thunder Dash said to the merchant. He then stopped midair. "Hold up, I'm sensing a strong energy around here." Thunder Dash starting to descend a little bit. He continued to descend into the forest. He then noticed a figure in a tree. "Is that him?" Thunder Dash asked pointing at the pony in the tree.

I... I think so.. said the merchant. The figure jumped off the tree and landed perfect on their hooves, the pony then got back on all its four legs and approached the two ponies. As the shadow cleared away, the indenity of the pony was revealed. It was the merchant. An exact identical clone of the merchant stood infront of both ponies.

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,826]

"I know this has got to be the guy." Thunder Dash said concentrating some of his electricity and prepping for a revealer spell. He then fired the beam at the figure to see if was that guy the merchant was looking for. It couldn't have been a changeling for changelings don't adapt some of the traits of the true pony. 

[♞RedLotus♞ 360]

The beam revealed the ponies true Identity... It was Ocelot. He was wearing his red hoodie, his ears were pointy. "I see you two managed to find me... Have you come to return the gems?" "Or would you like me to take them back myself?" Ocelot talked in a calm mood without an expression on his face.

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,826]

"Well, we have to come to return to the gems." Thunder Dash said as he waited for the older pony to get off his back and hand off the gems. "I just hope that this guy isn't ruthless. He seems like a nice guy. I'll won't think anything else." Thunder Dash thought to himself. 

 

(OOC: Notice I left it open for you to take the revealer shot or deflect it. I avoided what is known as "godmodding", or taking control of other people's character.)

[♞RedLotus♞ 360]

Oh ok thank you. Ocelot stood in two legs again, like a human, and crossed his arms. He rapidly ran towards a tree that was infront of them, and pushed his legs against the trunk, causing him to fly above the air and backflip, then smoothly landing on his two legs, in back of the two ponies making himself invisible for a moment, until the ponies turned around and faced him.

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,826]

(OOC:

 

until the ponies turned around and faced him.

that right there was near godmodding, but I'll let that one fly)

 

"Well, looks like he means business." Thunder Dash said as he walked toward Ocelot. "So what do you need those gems for?" Thunder Dash asked wondering what this pony needed them for and what he was going to do with them.

 

(OOC: I'm gonna hit the hay. Let's continue this tomorrow. Kay?)

[♞RedLotus♞ 360]

Ocelot said "The owner of the gems is paying me a handfull of bits for returning them back.. Maybe if you pay just a bit more that what he offered me.. I can let you keep these gems" Ocelot stared at the merchant

 

 

Yeah I was just about to say the same thing. I will message your tomorrow. Goodnight

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,826]

"I hope this isn't some sort of trap..." Thunder Dash thought to himself as he listened in on the conversation. He then thought of what Ocelot could really want. By the looks of his martial arts technique, he could in fact be a very skilled thief, in fact, one of the most well known pony thieves out there.

Ocelot said "The owner of the gems is paying me a handfull of bits for returning them back.. Maybe if you pay just a bit more that what he offered me.. I can let you keep these gems" Ocelot stared at the merchant waiting for him to make up his mind. The wind blew and it began to get cold. 

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,826]

(OOC: Didn't you just post that last night?)

 

"Hmmm, it seems like a scam to me...but, I must trust this guy, for the merchant in fact needed to give these gems to this guy." Thunder Dash thought. "So where does the owner of the gems reside. Do we have to travel all the way back to that market we were at?" Thunder Dash asked the merchant. 

[♞RedLotus♞ 360]

"I hope this isn't some sort of trap..." Thunder Dash thought to himself as he listened in on the conversation. He then thought of what Ocelot could really want. By the looks of his martial arts technique, he could in fact be a very skilled thief, in fact, one of the most well known pony thieves out there. 

The old merchant took out a set of daggers from his pockets, and pointed one at thunder dash's neck, and another one at Ocelots neck. "Listen here young ponies, we will do this the easy or the hard way.. but im looking for two ponies that can be my slaves... the whole gem thing was a tarp you see... It was one of my sidekicks who actually lured you into coming to take the gems back"

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,826]

Thunder Dash had an electric shot ready in case things were going to go further. He suspected it was a trap. "Slaves huh, that won't fly around here!" Thunder Dash said as he jumped into the air with a double backflip and landed on his hind legs. "It's a trap!" He shouted to Ocelot. 

[♞RedLotus♞ 360]

Ocelot quickly took out one of his red smoke bombs out of the pocket of his hoodie. He threw the bomb on the ground which caused a cloud of smoke to blind the merchant, a few seconds passed and as the smoke cleared out, the merchant stood in the same spot looking around to see if he could find Ocelot because he nearly dissapeared. The merchant looked different, this time his mane was dark gray, and his fur was pure black. "I should of known you were a black lotus..." Ocelot said. The merchant looked up and saw Ocelot ontop of a tree branch with the two daggers on his hoof. "Thunder dash! Shoot him!"

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,826]

Thunder Dash let out a mighty jolt of electricity from his body. He then jumped and stayed in the air just in case the merchant wasn't heavily affected by the jolt. He had another one ready in case the merchant had hidden power that gave him the ability to jump high in the air. 

[♞RedLotus♞ 360]

The merchant was pushed back a bit, but not wounded or hurt. Ocelot quickly threw another smoke bomb at the merchant and shapeshifted into Thunder dash. He flew towards Thunder dash and grabbed him by the arm and pulled him away. "We have to fly out of here!" "this guy cant be defeated very easily, and we sure as hell cant fight him here"
