I sat there in the back seat with the Thanos costume on, I was stacked and armed to the teeth, with the stones, the gauntlet, and the infinity blade (It was fake obviously) the year was 2022, a few months ago Coronavirus ended and we all partied, not together but- you know what I'm saying. My friends were there, Zachary, Nora, Thompson, Jessica, Chief, and Petra. We stopped in the parking lot and got out.
"Are. You. Ready?!" Zachary always brought the hype, he was Entity 303.
"Born ready." Thompson is like the guy who would literally do stupid things for fun, you know, normal white-boy stuff. He was dressed up as General Grievous from the 2D Clone Wars because we all know canon Grievous pails in comparison to 2D Grievous.
"Good, because we need to get inside before another crowd of people swarms in." Petra, always the smart and reasonable one, was dressed up as Sally.
"Let us go now." I did my best Thanos impression, it wasn't bad but it wasn't good either.
"Holy crap is that you Thanos?" Jessica joked and did a playful shove. Jessica is blonde, but not your normal dumb blond, she is actually adept when it comes to anything book related. She was dressed up as Supergirl, which fits her because she is always helping someone out when they need help. We walked forth and got in a line, got through the door, and ran wild.
"We should look at some things that look really nice for our characters," Chief said looking at me, I was the only one that wasn't complete, aside from Thompson that is. Chief is like the big black dude that will break you like a twig, if anything he should have been Thanos for the MCU.
"You two aren't fully complete so let's check out some weapons." Nora was dressed up as Rapunzel, and boy, does she look gorgeous. I nod and try to spot the weapon area. It wasn't hard because I almost couldn't fit through the door because I was 8'2, yeah I went all out to be Thanos. And I saw someone dressed up as Kilton in an open tent, I saw the infinity blade and four swords.
"I guess those four swords will have to do." Thompson chuckled and shook his head, we walked up to the Kilton cosplayer.
"How much for the infinity blade and those swords?" I asked with my best Thanos impression, I love it, I'm sorry but I can't stop it.
"For you, free. You know what kid? I know your type, seeking out for adventure eh?" The Kilton cosplayer chuckled, I was in shock as I just grabbed the infinity blade and Thompson grabbed his swords.
"Yeah, I like going on adventures with my friends," I said liking where this conversation is heading.
"Imagine... Going to a world where it has too much harmony and way less chaos." I thought about that, too much harmony and things would be... awkward. Nothing exciting.
"That sounds like torture." I smiled beneath my mask.
"What if... I sent you to that world to bring balance. It would be a win-win, saving that world for complete boredom and saving you from complete boredom. Know this, when I sent you there you will be your character, and everyone but You, Grievous, Supergirl, and Entity 303 will have powers because you already have powers. Entity 303 I see you have your scythe." The KIlton cosplayer smirked, and Zachary held up his bloodred scythe.
"Okay, how are you going to do it?" I ask smiling, he smiled mischievously.
"Oh, you'll see..." He snapped his fingers and in a flash of light, we were gone.
Present time.
I stood there idle in the Castle of Two Sisters, in stone and in a vault deep underground, it was dark, the torches have been put out. It was darker than any night I've seen. I was there for centuries. I was the most dangerous villain known to Pony-kind, Celestia often visits me to see if I got out, but after a few years she suddenly stopped it was like she... forgot about me. I was alone, all alone, I was perfectly sane but I was lonely. I wanted to get out, I needed to get out, to get my revenge, I grunted trying to break free, grunt, grunt, grunt! There was a crack I tried a few more times and my hand was free, I let out a furious bellow and boom! I was free, I immediately fell to my knees, it has been too long. I was hungry, very hungry. I got up and the only thing that I was thinking about was food and water. I walked up the spiral steps, it was covered in moss and the walls were cracked, I was trying to not hit the ceiling, I was tall, after punching down the exit door I made. (I punched my way out) I found myself in the throne room. I looked around, it was... ruined, what happened here? I looked around, my stomach growled. It was sunny outside, I saw light for the first time in years! Not going to lie I shed a little tear.
"Right, right, right, food." I put a hand over my stomach as I walked out of the castle. There was an old bridge, judging by my height and size I would fall under it. This means I have to run, after prepping myself I went into a sprint position and was ready to book it. I took a deep breath and ran. The wooden planks I stepped on collapsed beneath me, I ran as fast as my legs could carry them and leaped and fell on the grass, my stomach growled yet again, I need to eat something or I will eat my arm! A manticore looked at me curious as to what I was, I looked at it and licked my lips.
"Here kitty, kitty, kitty..." I walked close to the manticore.
I lit up a fire as I ate my cooked manticore, it was delicious, could use some seasoning but hey, got to work with what you have eh? I sat on a log and thought.
"My blade is gone, gauntlet gone, infinity stones gone, friends gone, where are they? Celestia must've really thought this out. My guess is that my infinity blade is in the Canterlot vault as well as my gauntlet, the stones must have a keeper, so I think I'm going to have to find the keepers of the stones. My friends are probably held in Tartarus so I'll have to go there, but that begs the question, what should I go after? Well, if I go after my blade and gauntlet they will be on high alert and most likely tighten the defenses on the stones and Tartarus. I should go after my friends, more allies means more people to fight under me. Tartarus it is I guess." After eating the last bit of the cooked manticore, I jumped to my feet and marched on. Tartarus here I come.
