Episode 11 - Legend of Starlight - Part 1

Hello again! Sorry I am bit late on this, I had some problems with writer’s block. Today we will be reading ‘The Legend of Starlight’ by  twow443. The very same author of the popular MST3K fic ‘twow's Labtastic Riffs’. I believe this was the first fic he ever did, and boy does it show. But for some reason I have actually taken a liking to it. It’s so silly and over the top I can’t help but love it. I got a really good laugh when I first read it and knew I had to riff it. Next time I will be reading the surprisingly better sequel ‘The Legend of Starlight-Book 2: Love at Second Sight’. It actually has grammar and correct spelling for one. Unfortunately, it makes it a little more boring.

If you have a fanfic recommendation, comments, or criticisms please leave a comment or PM me at my fimfiction account or my blog on Tumblr. Please NO clop or fanfiction with extreme violence. I am not going to do those. I want to do a more family friendly series and it is going to be relatively clean. Besides everyone else does them. Okay, I might do one for a special occasion. But otherwise no clop or extreme gore fics. Ok, enough rambling. On with the fic!

Special thanks to twow443 for letting me do his story. You are awesome!

This fic has two alternate riffs.(I promise to avoid stories that already have been riffed in the future. But I just had to do this one!)

Episode 11 - Part 1

“Get your tail out of my face!” Scootaloo moaned spitting out Sweetie Belle’s tail.

 “Opps. Sorry.” Sweetie Belle said in embarrassment.

“Shh. Quiet!” Apple Bloom hissed. “She’s going to hear ya!”

The three Cutie Mark Crusaders were hiding in a bush. Their target was close. The three watched in silence as a grey coated blond filly passed by. Dinky was humming to herself happily while walking down the dirt path road to the outskirts of town. So far, the filly had evaded the Crusaders attempts to track her. It turns out that stealth wasn’t really their strong point and Dinky quickly caught on to the fact that they were following her. The little filly was far slippier than the Crusaders expected. She just knew how to vanish in an instant, but this time they were going to get her and find her secret spaceship that Scootaloo insisted existed.

Dinky walked down the path with the Crusaders hot on her hooves. They dashed from bush to bush silently. Well, silentish. The Crusaders’ eyes hawkishly watched her. They were not going to lose her this time. Dinky walked up to little blue house. Its exterior was barebones and it had a “Sold” sign in front of it. Dinky reached for the front door, opened it, and closed the door behind her.

The Crusader watched this in confusion. “See! I told you she was just a normal pony!” Sweetie Belle exclaimed in triumph.

“Looks like ya were right after’ll Sweetie.” Apple Bloom said.

“It might just be a front for her real home!” Scootaloo proclaimed determined not to lose the argument.

        

“That’s true.” Appleboom admitted.

“I don’t believe this.” Sweetie Belle exclaimed in frustration. She was tired of following Dinky around and it was pretty clear that they weren’t going to get their cutie marks in investigation or spying. They have been at this for weeks.

“We should get a closer look!” Scootaloo suggested. The three Crusaders nodded and quietly snuck from the bush to a back of the house. They successfully got to the spot without being seen. Well, one mint green unicorn happened to see them sneaking around, but she just shrugged and went on her way. Many of the inhabitants of Ponyville were used their antics by now.  Besides, it was bowling night.

“Give me ah boost.” Apple Bloom requested. The other two crusaders assisted her and lifted her so she could get a good look in the back window. What she saw wasn’t much. It was a just an empty bedroom full of boxes with a bed on the left side. Of what she could see of the rest of the house, it looked like it had just been moved into. Most of it was empty and boxes littered the floor. She could see Dinky through a door getting a juice box out of the refrigerator. “Ah don’t see much. It looks like they just moved in.”

“Do you see any cool space ship stuff?” Scootaloo asked hopefully.

“Not really. Just boxes.” Apple Bloom replied.

“Come on! There has to be something!”

“This is so stupid.” Sweetie Belle grumbled.

“And what do you think you’re doing?” A new voice asked startling the crusaders making them to lose their balance and causing them to fall in a pile. They groaned in pain. They looked up to see who that voice came from.

The unicorn mare was thin and little lanky. She had a mauve colored coat with a dark grey mane. Her mane was in a long ponytail and it hung along her back. Her cutie mark was a plain black ‘X’. Her eyes were a sickly yellow color and there was something unsettling about them. Her face was more rugged than beautiful and she was wearing a frown on her muzzle.

The crusaders recognized this mare as Dinky’s older sister. If the Crusaders remembered right, her name was Star Shot. “We were…uh..uh.. “ Scootaloo stumbled to come up with an excuse.

“Trying to get our cutie marks in spying!” Sweetie Belle blurted out.

“…What?”  Star Shot asked incredulously.

“We were tryin’ to see if we could track Dinky without her noticin’!” Apple Bloom hurriedly explained. The other Crusaders nodded.

Star Shot facehoofed. “Kids.”

“Uh, what? We ain’t goats!” Apple Bloom asked in confusion.

“Yeah!” Scootaloo exclaimed.

“Right. Oh course you’re not.” Star Shot said recovering from the unexpected answer. “Now if you are quite done…scram. Now!” Star Shot said evenly. The Crusanders shrunk at this and slowly nodded.

“We will just be on our way!” Scootaloo nervously said.

“Ya’! We just have so much more crusading to do!” Apple Bloom piped in.

“We’ll stop being a bother.” Sweetie Belle replied. The Crusaders slowing backed away. Star Shot kept glaring at them intensely.

“Do we have company?” Asked a soft voice from around the house. Dinky walked into the back lawn with a juice box in her hooves. “Apple Bloom?”

“You know these squirts?” Star Shot asked.

Dinky nodded. “They go to school with me.” She answered.

“Hiya Dinky! We were just…seeing what you were up to! ” Scootaloo proclaimed trying her best to recover from the awkward situation.

“Catch these brats spying on you.” Said Star Shot. The crusaders looked sheepishly at Dinky.

“We wer’ just curious that’s all!” Apple Bloom decided to come clean. “You keep so much to yerself. We ain’t know much ‘bout you.”

“We just wanted to know more about you. You barely talk about yourself.”Sweetie Belle interjected.

“She barely speaks at all. Ow.” Sweetie Belle elbowed Scootaloo. “It’s true!”

“Oh, that’s fine.” Dinky said sheepishly.

“So why all the secrecy?” Apple Bloom asked. “You seemed determined not let anypony know where you lived.”

“Well, we just got this place a week ago. Before that me, my sister, and my dad were living out of a hotel. My dad just got a job here and wasn’t able to find a place to live in at first.” Dinky answered.

“So why hide it?” Sweetie Belle asked.

“I didn’t want anypony to know that was homeless.” Dinky answered and then gave a sheepish look. “I thought I might get teased for it.”

“Well shoot. That’s all?” Apple Bloom smiled. “Ain’t nothing to be ashamed of.” The other Crusaders nodded.

“And if somepony tried to bully you, we totally would have had your back!” Scootaloo exclaimed. “Us blank flanks need to stick together!”

“And that settles that!” Star Shot interjected. “It was all just some silly misunderstanding.”

“Yeah, can you believe Scootaloo thought you were an alien?” Sweetie Belle teased.

“Hey! It was a good theory at the time!” Scootaloo defended.

“Kids sure come up with the darndest things.” Star Shot said amused. The crusaders looked at Star Shot confused.

“Why do ya keep….” Star Shot interrupted her.

“Say Dinky! How about you and little friends run off to play somewhere?” Star Shot hurriedly said. “It’s such a nice day, and it would be such a shame to waste it indoors.”

“But what about…”

“Oh don’t worry about it. I’ll handle it.” Star Shot waved a hoof dismissively. “Good run off and play with your friends.”

                Dinky looked hesitant. “We’d love to have ya.” Apple Bloom reassured smiling.

                

“Come along. It will be fun and you might even get your cutie mark!” Sweetie Belle argued.

                

“Might get it?” Scootaloo scoffed. “With what we have planned out, there is no way she won’t!”

                “We could even make ya’ into an honorary member of the Cutie Mark Crusaders!”

                Dinky still looked hesitant, but gave in. “Sure, why not?”

                “Perfect. Not you little scamps run off and have some fun.” Star Shot said pushing Dinky toward the Crusaders. She nodded and the four fillies started trotting away.

                “Bye!” Star Shot waved and gave a smile that seemed fake somehow. When the Crusaders and Dinky were out of sight, she sighed. “Now that is cleared up. I should really go and play host for our guests. Can’t keep them waiting.”

 

                “She’s late.” The Doctor noted. “That’s a first.”

                “Maybe we won’t get an experiment today?” Ditzy wondered. This was very strange, usually Dinky was on time like clockwork.

                “If we should be so lucky.” The Doctor sounded less than optimistic.

                “Hello our little test subject!” Said a female voice the Doctor and Ditzy had never heard before. Strangely it wasn’t distorted like Dinky’s usually was. It was a gruff voice and had an edge of self satisfaction to it.

                “Dinky?” Ditzy hesitantly asked.

                “Oh no, Dinky couldn’t make it. So I am making up for her.”

                “And you are?” The Doctor asked.

                “You can call me.” The stranger paused for effect. “Mr. X.”

                “What?” Ditzy asked incredulous.           

The Doctor raised an eyebrow. “You’re really going with that name?”

“That’s kinda silly. Dinky already used it and you aren’t even a Mister.”

“Believe me. It fits.” Mr. X replied.

“Whatever. What are we reading today?” The Doctor shrugged.

“Today for your reading pleasure you will be reading ‘The Legend of Starlight’ by twow443.” Mr. X gave a small chuckle. “Enjoy.”        

The experiment alarm went off. The Doctor sighed. “Let’s go.”

“Seriously, Mr. X?’ Ditzy pondered before following the Doctor in the theater.

Chapter 1- A New Beginning.

It's not easy being a teenager in this world.

Ditzy: The world constantly under threat. Having to fighting evil in power suits with other teenagers with attitude.

It also isn't easy liking a show that most people would say is for little girls.

Doctor: (Teenager) Strawberry Shortcake forever!

But what can I say? I'm different. How different, you ask?

Ditzy: (Teenager) I like the taste of orange juice after brushing my teeth.

Continue to read my story, and learn my friend.

My name is Star. Weird name for a boy,

Ditzy: ...What? That isn’t weird at all!

Doctor: Maybe if you were human?

I know. I'm 12 years old and a diehard brony.

Ditzy: A what?

Doctor: (Shrugs)

I was an orphan,

All: Naturally.

left on my parents doorstep when I was young.

Ditzy: (Teenager) By wizards!

My parents told me there had been a note on my chest that said,

Doctor: (Note) Please take this child. No one else wants him. You are our last hope.

“Please take care of this young one. He will be very important in the future.”

Ditzy: Ugh. Please tell me there isn’t a prophecy!

I didn't really know what it meant, so I didn't think about it.

Doctor: I’m sure you are going to live a long and boring life.

I lived like a normal kid,

Ditzy: Oh, the main character is a goat!. Star is a weird name for a goat.

Doctor: It could just mean a young child.

went to school, played video games,

Ditzy: Swore profanities online that would make a sailor blush.

ran outside

All:(Singing) And I ran, I ran so far away

Couldn't get away

.... Life was rather easy for me and my family, until my 13th birthday…

Doctor: And this particular birthday just happened to be on Friday the thirteenth.

Ditzy: And he broke a mirror, a black cat walked along his path, and he walked under a ladder earlier that day.

It was on a Sunday, I got some video games and other stuff (which was AWESOME).

Doctor: (Star) My mom got me orange and green socks that don’t even fit me right. All right!

My parents left me with my older sister to go and do some shopping. I was sitting in the living room when the doorbell rang. Chelsea was busy so I got it.

Doctor: Chelsea? Isn’t that a human name?

Ditzy: Wait, so this isn’t a world of goats?

There was a package for me.

Doctor: (Star) And it’s ticking!

I opened it up and saw a sword hilt in the box.

Ditzy: A lightsaber?

Doctor: His parents couldn’t afford a whole sword, so they bought him half of one.

“Wha....?” I said. I picked it up and it suddenly disappered from my hand.

Ditzy: (Sword) Screw this! I don’t want to be owned by this brat!

“Weird.” I said.

Doctor: A rather nonchalant reaction.

There was a letter in the box. “Dear Star..” it said. “If you have picked up the sword then come to the nature trail at 4:00.”

Doctor: (Star) Which nature trail? This town has 3 of them!

At the trail at 4:00,

Ditzy: And he actually went!?

Doctor: What could possible go wrong following a weird message sent from a completely unknown person?

I started to walk. “Hello?” I yelled. I felt a strange sensation on my left hand.

Doctor: Oops, poison ivy.

Rubbing it, I continued on.

Ditzy: No! That just makes it worse!

“Prince.....” I heard a soft voice.

Doctor: (Star) I’m ‘The Artist’ now.

“Who-who's there?” I yelled. Stepping into the clearing that was in the middle of the trail, I saw a dark figure, in the shape of a horse? “The time is coming.”, the figure said. “But, are you ready?” I narrowed my eyes, “What do you....?

Ditzy: Ugh, that is awkward to read.

Doctor: Don’t tell me all the dialog will be written like this.

Suddenly 3 dark figures landed in front of me.

Doctor: See? A trap. Just what I thought.

Ditzy: He really didn’t see this coming?

They looked like the Shadowbolts from the 2nd episode of My Little Pony.

Doctor: (Star) Can I get an autograph!? I’m a big fan!

“Time for you to join us or die, little prince.” they said.

Doctor: (Star) Do you have a good dental plan?

Ditzy: (Star) Can I get 20 bits an hour?

I was angry. “What. Is. HAPPINING?!”

Doctor: (Star) I’M ANGRY!

Ditzy: WHY ARE YOU YELLING!?

On the last word, a sword apperead in my hand.

Ditzy: Spellcheck. Always your best friend.

Doctor: Did the author not edit this story at all?

The blade was a dark blue and the hilt was also dark blue with black around it. One of the Shadowbolts flew toward me. Not thinking, I ran toward it and slashed.

Doctor: (Shadowbolt) Gah! I just wanted to met you up close.

I cut right though it's head, blood flying from it's body as it hit the ground.

Ditzy: Wait a minute. The Shadowbolt didn’t even pull out a weapon or attack him yet! He’s a murderer now!

Doctor: Maybe it was a bad idea to give the boy a weapon before you’re ‘Join or Die’ speech.

I gasped and winced as my left hand felt like it was on fire.

Doctor: The Shadowbolt had acidic blood.

The other shadow ponies flew at me. I ducked under one and stabbed the one behind it between the wings. The last pony circled around to kick me in the head. I took the hoof to the face and fell flat, dropping the sword. The last Shadowbolts landed in front of me. “Time to die little prince.”

Ditzy: (Star) For the last time! I’m the ‘The Artist’ now!

I reached out to the sword and in reappered in my hand.

Ditzy: What is this Kingdom Hearts?

I slashed the sword and cut into the Shadowbolts brain. She fell dead.

Ditzy: Well that was easy.

“Well, well. Quite the little fighter you are.”

Doctor: (Voice) Have you ever thought of joining the UFC?

I looked up at the shadow that I had seen coming here. It walked up closer. “Enjoy that last bit of time you have here because soon, soon you will be mine.” It disappered.

Doctor: (Voice) I have a coupon.

The sword left my hand as I said. “Happy birthday to me..”

Ditzy: (Star) Today is sure off to great start!

Back at the house, I was sitting in the living room

Doctor: You seem rather nonchalant about the fact you killed 3 ponies.

when my hand felt like it was BURNING. “AHHHHH!!” I yelled.

Doctor: To soothe pain and cool burns buy Burn-B Gone.

Looking at my hand, I saw that it was glowing.

Ditzy: And it was radioactive!

My family backed off from me(understandable).

Doctor: (Star) That and I still had blood all over me.

I heard a voice in my head saying, “Look in the box.”

Ditzy: (Star) Darn it Roxas! Shut up!

Reaching in the box that had the hilt, I pulled out a necklace that had a unicorn horn.

Ditzy: ...Not a real one I hope...

I put it on.

Doctor: (Star) It went well with my outfit.

The horn glowed and then stopped glowing.

Doctor: Now you're sterile.

Suddenly my back started to hurt. I screamed as two beautiful dark blue wings came out of my back.

Ditzy: Unfortunately, they were upside down.

Doctor: (Star) I’m a beautiful butterfly!

Then, all of the pain stopped.

Ditzy: Really? I would expect that to sting for a while.

I looked at my left hand and saw something like tattoos.

Doctor: (Star) Who is Bertha?

There was a purple sparkle thing, a cloud with a rainbow lighting bolt, balloons, butterfly's, apples, and gems. “The Mane 6.”

Ditzy: What? Oh, Twilight and her friends.

Doctor: Star was later sued by the Mane 6.

I thought. I looked at my family. “Can we have my cake now?”

Ditzy: ….

Doctor: He is certainly taking this all in stride.

Ditzy: Really? No reaction at all? Even my weirdest days usually don’t get this crazy.
