There is a crazy stunter in Equestria and nopony or creature know who he or she is.
Nopony or creature seems to be able to figure out who the mysterious stunter is. They had all seen is clips on CreatureTube, and some of his stunts are absolutely insane. The element bearers try to figure out who it is, but to now avail. Now, after a few years of silence, the famous RedKeyMon reveals himself and the element bearers are shocked as to who it is.
1 - A Stunters Beginning
It was cold in Manehattan, but that was to be expected as it was three in the morning. A figure in black costume and motorcycle helmet was on his bike, on top of a roof. He isn't a very well known creature. Or well, that depended on who you asked. The motorcycle he was on was a Kawasaki ZX-6R. It was completely coloured in green as the stunter hadn't had the time for re-colouring it. He hadn't mind. He simply wanted to do his stunts.
The roof he was on had small stones on the ground, and the roof had different air-conditioning materials on there. On the edge of the buildings rooftop was the edge that would make him fly a little with his bike. He had paid a unicorn to make it drive quietly. It was a success! The stunter could turn the enchantment on and off, so he could drive either loudly or not make a sound.
The stunter looked at his Rolex watch, and saw that it was time to begin filming. A pony that was with him in the shadows, would be the one recording his stunts. Luckily, he would only be doing them at night, but he could always take a few edits in his video editor to make it look like he does stunts in the day. He would of course do some in the night also. "Are you ready?" The pony in the shadows asked, making the stunter look at where the voice came from. He then nodded to the pony. The pony started recording and the stunter started to drive at a really alarming rate towards the edge of the rooftop. He did a wheelie, and the pony who was recording started to fly and record every shot.
The stunter felt how his back tire made contact with the stone, and how he started to fly. Time slowed down, as the motorcycle flew through the air with the stunter on the motorcycle, not fearing for his life the slightest. The building he was aiming towards, had a large billboard that had the commercial for one of the airlines in Equestria. The stunter was upside down, and he turned his motorcycle to the left and went back up again, making the wheels face the ground. The pony was filming each second, and it was some good stuff also.
The stunter felt how the motorcycle made contact with the billboard from underneath. The stunter smiled under his motorcycle helmet. He then slid through the billboard with great speed, and the pony captured every second of it. The stunter then felt how he reached the end of the billboard, and knew how he was gonna land on the ground hard. He was gonna make it epic!
The stunter made a backflip with his motorcycle in midair. The pony caught all of this, and even got a perfect angle to make the video for later look majestic. The stunter landed the motorcycle on its wheels, and casually looked up at the flying pony who was still hiding behind the shadows. The pony nodded to him and he smiled. It would mean that the pony got it.
"It seems like we are done here Nightmare Moon." The stunter said, casually as if it was normal that you talked to an evil princess. The princess herself flew out of the shadows with her majestic long wings and armor. She was as tall as Celestia, maybe a quarter inch taller. She had gotten this job because she had been asked to by... Well, she doesn't actually know who gave her the job. All she knows is, that she wouldn't regret it apparently.
"Hopefully!" Nightmare Moon said, a little irritated. That was actually the thirtieth attempt to make the stunt. She had not been happy the other times. "So, what now RedKeyMon?"
RedKeyMon grinned from under his helmet. He enjoyed how she sounded irritated when in reality; she loved it. Or well, liked it might be more appropriate word for it. This wasn't his first stunt at all. This was just one of many stunts he had done. He could do stunts with any vehicle in any sort of condition. It really didn't matter. Nightmare Moon didn't know who he was though, as RedKeyMon had only ever said that she wouldn't believe it even if she saw who he was. It was better if nopony or creature knew who he was.
"Well, we will have to go back to our hotel." RedKeyMon said, making Nightmare Moon sigh and nod. She was really curious as to who he is. She had tried to invade his mind, but he was apparently expecting that, as she had been "thrown out" of his mind. She had not expected that the slightest.
Nightmare Moon got on the motorcycle and put on her helmet. RedKeyMon then floored it towards the hotel they were staying in. The city of Manehattan were quiet, and Nightmare Moon wouldn't have normally liked it. It meant that everypony and creature was asleep. She wanted to see activity during the night, but she was happy that she didn't see any creature or pony out and about. She had completely forgotten to change to her disguise. RedKeyMon was driving on the highway that was free from cars. There were lights that lit up the long road, and RedKeyMon got a sudden urge to tease Nightmare Moon with flooring it over one of the exits of the highway so he and Nightmare Moon would be flying.
Nightmare Moon seemed to know what he was thinking and said in a threatening tone; "Don't you even think about it!" RedKeyMon laughed, and continued to drive. They weren't far from the hotel. The hotel itself was located near the beach of Manehattan.
RedKeyMon and Nightmare Moon reached the hotel that was one of the more expensive hotels, and Nightmare Moon changed her herself into a un-reformed changeling. She looked like one of the changeling drones and she had blue bug eyes together with bug wings and a small horn. The name of the changeling Nightmare Moon transformed into was Vux. That was the only thing they knew...
RedKeyMon parked the bike and pulled out the key. Nightmare Moon got of and immediately went to the hotel entrance followed by Spike. The hotel was tall and proud. It looked futuristic, as the glass windows of the building reflected the time of day, and showed the moon and stars or the sun depending on the time of day. The entrance had a small stone staircase with three steps, there were two glass double doors. There was a symbol on the glass double doors that depicted a manticore stretching out his large arms towards the half sun and moon and had text underneath that said; The Beach Hotel.
RedKeyMon walked through the entrance, and saw how Nightmare Moon got the keys to their room. The inside was beautifully coloured in white, while, the floor was crystal shiny red. There was a waiting area with several chairs and sofas with a coffee table with different magazines. There was a reception to the left when you entered the building that had a large wooden desk that had been beautifully carved and feelt smooth against your fingers. There was a receptionist who looked tired by happy. Her mane was blonde and her eyes looked to have been grayish purple with a hint of white. It was hard to tell because she had fallen asleep.... her coat seems to be grayish blue, with a hint of amaranth.
There were two ways to get to the element floor which is the last floor and is only designated for royalty, or members who has been royalty. Nightmare Moon had used a spell to confuse the mare at the reception. RedKeyMon and Nightmare Moon were gonna take the elevator. RedKeyMon pressed the button and the doors slid to the side. RedKeyMon and Nightmare Moon walked inside the elevator and pressed the number eleven.
"Had she fallen asleep again?" RedKeyMon asked, making Nightmare Moon nod in response. It had become common knowledge to them, that the receptionist always is asleep.
"Yes, it was so easy to manipulate her. It was as if I wasn't doing anything." Nightmare Moon said, making RedKeyMon chuckle in response. The elevator stopped at the eleventh floor, and the two got out. The hallways were decorated with a long red mat with gold on the edges of the mat. The hallway they were walking on was long, and they knew that they were on the last door as that is the one princess Luna uses. The walls were decorated with dark green coloured snakes that looked venomous.
They reached Luna's room, and Nightmare Moon unlocked the door and walked inside. RedKeyMon followed soon after, and they weren't fazed by the room. The room was solely focused for the night itself. The ceiling was coloured with stars and the moon. The curtains were drawn over the window. There was even a pool table in the middle of the room. Nightmare Moon walked towards the kitchen where she had left a laptop. The laptop was to help edit the videos they were gonna upload. RedKeyMon was quite excited for it to go up on CreatureTube.
"Go get the rest you need. I will edit the video." Nightmare Moon said, making RedKeyMon nod. He went to the bathroom and took a quick shower and went to sleep. It was gonna be interesting to see the reactions from other creatures who would watch the video.
Nightmare Moon sat and edited the video for at least three hours before everything was perfect. There was music, and short clips for each stunt that was about thirty seconds long. The first video had about three stunts, the last one being the official welcoming of RedKeyMon's channel. Nightmare Moon uploaded the video and saw how it was published. Then she turned off the laptop, brushed her teeth and went to bed. It had been a long day. Although, neither of them would realise what type of attention they had put on themselves, or how famous RedKeyMon would be...
Author's Notes:
Hello everypony!
This was an idea that I had always wanted to write, but I wasn't sure if I should or not, but I felt like this was a great way to start the brand new year!
2 - One Year Later
Exactly one year has passed since the first video was uploaded to CreatureTube. To Nightmare Moon and RedKeyMon's shock; it reached over a million views. One point four, to be exact, and that was overnight. Everypony and creature knew about RedKeyMon and they talked about his stunts he had in the video. He even reached the national news!
RedKeyMon was happy about it, and felt encouraged to continue. Nightmare Moon was simply happy that something was working. Usually whenever she tried to do something; she would only fail horribly. RedKeyMon though, seemed to have helped her of the hoof for a little. He did pay her, as they split the money he earned in half. Nightmare Moon didn't want the money in the beginning as she saw it as a way to "buy" her. But, when RedKeyMon had given her a hug, she had calmed down, and accepted the split.
They had made several videos on CreatureTube, and RedKeyMon was happy. He had fans everywhere in Equestria and beyond. He was also on the top three list of CreatureTubers who hasn't revealed themselves at all to the Internet. RedKeyMon had laughed, as he found it hilarious. He didn't expect that, as there weren't any questions in the comments about having a face reveal. He assumed that they were specifically interested in his stunts.
The element bearers that lives in Ponyville and are named; Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and Twilight Sparkle, have been very nosy about who RedKeyMon is. The element of kindness, Fluttershy, was worried that RedKeyMon would accidentally harm himself. Rarity, the element of generosity thought that he was simply insane that he did stunts that would land anypony and creature in the hospital. Pinkie Pie, the element of laughter always gasped at his crazy stunts and thought that he was crazy in a good way. Applejack, the element of honesty, thought that it was impressive that the stunter could even pull it of. Rainbow Dash, the element of loyalty was mesmerised by his stunts, she was simply addicted to his stunts and how he pulls them of. Princess Twilight Sparkle, the element of magic, thought that it was simply dangerous for RedKeyMon to do stunts that could result in his death if he wasn't careful. Spike... Spike is the assistant of Twilight Sparkle, but he has never commented on the RedKeyMon questions. He watches the videos and does look amazed, but its like its fake.
RedKeyMon was currently on his motorcycle preparing for another stunt. This time, he was gonna drive on the side of a tall building and drive downwards. It was gonna be an epic stunt. It was night time like usual, and there was nopony or other creature to be seen. The building RedKeyMon was on was the one closest to the tallest bank in Manehattan. It wasn't only Manehattan he stunted in. Sometimes, he made stunts in Ponyville, Las Pegasus, Cloudsdale and other places. Many ponies and creatures were confused as to how he was doing his stunts without being noticed by anypony or creature. They had come forward with a bunch of different theories as to how the mysterious stunter managed to do all of that and not be noticed.
RedKeyMon started the engine, and Nightmare Moon started to film the stunter. RedKeyMon drove to the edge of the building, doing a wheelie at the last second, and felt how he started flying. He saw the building in front of him, and used some enchantments to make him fly a little bit forward. He then turned his motorcycle so the wheels would touch the stone of the building. Nightmare Moon kept recording his stunt, holding her breath as this crazy creature completed his stunt.
RedKeyMon drove downwards from the building, and in the last second pulled up the motorcycle. RedKeyamon let out a breath he didn't realize he was holding. Nightmare Moon flew down towards him and let out a sigh of relief. Over the year she had gotten to know him, she had grown quite attached to him. "I'm simply happy that you aren't dead." Nightmare Moon said, making RedKeyMon laugh. She could be a protective mother sometimes.
"You do see that I'm alive yes?" RedKeyMon said, making Nightmare Moon growl at him with irritation. She sometimes believes he doesn't take his life seriously. RedKeyMon saw that she was getting irritated, and he'd rather not be sent to the hospital because she shot curses at him. "Shall we go to a hotel or motel, whichever we find?"
Nightmare Moon simply nodded and put on her helmet and got on. On Nightmare Moon's helmet were bold letters that read; Nightmare Moon Best Princess! RedKeyMon drove away from the lit streets of Manehattan and drove towards the first hotel or motel he could find. While on the way there, RedKeyMon noticed that there were a few ramps, or rather, things he saw as ramps left unused. RedKeyMon got an idea. The ramp he was heading for was made from metal, and was supported by a heavy looking container.
Nightmare Moon saw what he was about to do and shouted; "Are you insane!? I'm on this thing!" RedKeyMon ignored her, as he sped towards the ramp. Then when he was close enough, he did a wheelie, and he felt how time slowed down. His motorcycle flew through the air, and he did a backflip and turned the motorcycle to the side, and started grinding against the side of the building that had been beside the ramp. Nightmare Moon was holding RedKeyMon for dear life, as the motorcycle went downwards and landed on the wheels. RedKeyMon drove towards the closest motel in the area, and found it near an exit leading towards Canterlot and Ponyville.
"Well rest here." RedKeyMon said, making Nightmare Moon simply nod. She was still in shock as to what happened. She couldn't mutter out any words. RedKeyMon drove towards the motel, and saw the few commercial signs like; Spike Dorcha Has New Shocking Chapter! RedKeyMon grinned. He drove into the motel's parking lot and parked his motorcycle.
RedKeyMon got of from the motorcycle and Nightmare Moon did the same. When she had regained herself, she glared at the crazy stunter. "Why in the name of the moon did you do that for!? I could have been killed! Or wait, I don't want to hear it." Nightmare Moon said, angrily. RedKeyMon simply looked at her. This was another thing that made Nightmare Moon feel frustrated over, with the helmet on, she didn't know what emotions he was feeling. He then walked up to her and hugged her. She was taken aback, but hugged him back.
"Sorry Nightmare, I simply wanted to have some real fun. I sort of made an assumption that you wouldn't care, as you are a warrior and being so high up in the air wouldn't scare you." RedKeyMon said, making Nightmare Moon drop the hug and look at him seriously.
"I wasn't scared from the hight. I was scared, because you have hurt yourself many times while we have filmed." Nightmare Moon said, making RedKeyMon simply nod. He understood where she was coming from. He had hurt himself a lot when he had done his stunts, and he has not been happy about that.
"Shall we get our rooms?" RedKeyMon asked, making Nightmare Moon nod her head. They walked up to the front doors, and saw the small reception area. The reception had a broken wooden desk but looked to be relatively intact because of magic. The walls looked to be cracked, and had some cockroaches in them. There was a stallion behind the reception and looked up when he saw Nightmare Moon. RedKeyMon had entered himself, but he hid behind one of the pillars of the building.
"What can I help you with?" The stallion asked, making Nightmare Moon smile at him. She still had her helmet on that blocked her entire face. She leaned over to him in a seductive way, and said;
"I was hoping to get a room here. Are there room for two? I have a friend that is outside fixing his motorcycle." Nightmare Moon said, making the stallion nod in understanding.
"I'm sorry miss, but there is only one room and it has a double bed." The stallion said, making Nightmare Moon sigh inwardly. She nodded and payed the stallion thirty bits. She walked out of the reception area, and was quickly followed by a sneaking RedKeyMon.
"Are you okay with this?" RedKeyMon asked, making Nightmare Moon stop and look at him with wonder. It was actually him she was gonna ask that question for. He has done everything in his power to not sleep in the same bed as her. Then again, those times had been when there was one bed. Nightmare Moon nodded.
They saw an staircase that lead upwards, and they walked up. The different doors to the motel were very eerie, and made Nightmare Moon smile. She liked this motel, it made her skin crawl. RedKeyMon simply didn't care, and continued until they reached the door that had the number thirteen on it. Nightmare Moon put they key inside the keyhole, and turned it. The door made a clicking sound, and the door opened up.
The room had a dirty red mat, and a large double bed. It also had a bathroom, and that was it. There was nothing else. Nightmare Moon walked inside, and RedKeyMon followed. RedKeyMon closed the door, and looked over at Nightmare Moon who was taking of her working clothes. She was gonna upload the video and then go to bed. RedKeyMon had been carrying a bag with him the whole time, and there was fresh clothes in it. He walked towards the bathroom and took a shower. Nightmare Moon pulled out a laptop from one of her bags and started doing her work
Nightmare Moon was working on the video, and she was getting close to finishing it. The music was there, and the stunts were there. She was quite happy with her work. She was still a little confused over what RedKeyMon told her. "Are you okay with this?" She was, but she was confused as to why he asked her that, when it is he who is paranoid about everything.
RedKeyMon finished his shower, and walked out without his helmet. Nightmare Moon looked away, and RedKeyMon looked at her confusedly. "Your helmet." She said, making him chuckle. She didn't look at him, and he smiled. It showed that she was loyal to him.
"You can look, it is okay." RedKeyMon said, and Nightmare Moon did. She gasped, was this really the famous stunter? Doesn't his family know? "Quite a shocker right?"
She simply nodded. "The video is finished. I have uploaded it." Nightmare Moon said, looking at the screen and saw that she had yet to upload it. She pressed the "upload" button, and the video started rendering.
Nightmare Moon walked towards the bed, and got under the covers. RedKeyMon followed her after. Nightmare Moon couldn't help but feel weirded out, when had the creature started stunting like this and walk away from friends and family? She didn't know, and perhaps it was for the best. They feel asleep around the same time, and had smiles on their faces.
