>You are Axis >The most beta bat pony who ever lived >Would that make you a. . . Bata pony? >Fuck it, never mind, that was horrid >Anyway, you are not beta--bata?--because of looks (although you aren't really a stunner in that department either) >No, you're beta because you can't screech >It's not your fault, you were just born with poor vocal cords >So while all the other alpha batponies are screeching their heads off getting all the chicks, all you're emitting is a pathetic rasp >Like a dying old man >Really, it's sad >You're in the prime of you're life and you've never gotten laid, and unfortunately, it doesn't look like that's gonna change >You're walking through the woods one moonlit night, thinking about that delicious unattainable bat poon(y, lel get it) >When suddenly a chorus of screeching breaks out deeper in the forest >Someone who didn't know any better would think there was a battalion of obnoxious cats brutally slaughtering each other out there >But you're not that someone, and you know those to be the screeches of lusty batponies >Why must they torture you like this? Always flaunting their superior, non-deformed vocal chords >You heave a brooding sigh >You reach the origin of the screeches, and see a dozen males competing in a clearing >That's more than usual, there must be an orgy imminent >From where you are, you'd guess there are about thirty females hanging back in the trees, evaluating the competitors >One comes up to you, a really cute one >"Why aren't you out there?" she asks. "Who knows, you might get some." She winks "N-no, I can't screech," you respond, head lowered, avoiding eye contact >"Oh." She sounds disappointed. >You bet she'd do you, if only you had stronger pipes >She turns and retreats back into the trees >You look at her as she goes away >Damn that's a nice ass >If only your parent's hadn't passed inferior genes onto you >They always had regretted it as well, preferring your siblings over you, up until the day you left >Descending more and more into depression, you look out at the clearing. >And then it happens >A circle of flame bursts up at random in the center of the clearing, and in the center of the circle, a star >All the males cease screeching and leap back from it >And then a lump rises from the ground in the middle of the star, slowly >It rises higher, and it is revealed that the lump is a head, though smaller than a ponies >The head rises, and a neck is revealed, and then shoulders >It is now obvious this figure is much different from a pony >Its forelegs, if they can be called that, are placed directly at it's side, and its posture is straight >It keeps on ascending, it is very tall >When it stops, it stands at over six feet on two legs >The flames dim--though the symbol remains burned onto the ground--and the creatures features become apparent >It wears clothes, strangely >It has long, thick hair, coming down over two piercing green eyes >And a full, glorious beard that goes down past its chest >A deathly silence falls over the wood >The thing raises its arms to the sky, opens its mouth and. . . >Let's out the loudest, most powerful, most terrific growl ever heard in Equestria >The leaves rustle audibly at the might of it, and the ground seems to shake >And the roar keeps pouring forth, only becoming louder, more powerful >It is obvious that this creature has vocal cords, diaphragm and lungs made of some sort of flexible steel >There is no other explanation for this oh so BRUTAL growl >And just when you think it's reached its peak, it gets even louder >The male batponies' ears start to bleed, they writhe on the ground in pain >The ones that manage to gather their bearings fly away, the rest slink back into woods with hooves pressed against their ears >And it has a much different effect on the females >Their genitals are soaked, dripping in juices >They lick their lips, pupils dilated at the sight of this strange being, that screeches (technically growls) like no other >The effect on you isn't the same as that on the other males, and certainly not on the females >You are terrified, but don't fly away >You are paralyzed with fear >So you open your mouth >And scream >Not a normal scream. Your vocal chords have not magically repaired themselves >No, the rasp is still there, just with more volume >You cannot scream as loud as the creature, but you're fearful yell comes very close >The result is something that is similar to the growl, but is at a much higher pitch >And so the thing's growl and your rasp echo throughout the forest in harmony >Shit was SO brutal, yo >It continues for what seems like minutes, and then you run out of breath >The creature stops not long after you >It stares at you for a while >And then steps out of the circle towards you >It walks right up to you and kneels down >And now you're gazing into those cold green eyes, they're just inches away "W-What are you?" you squeak >The thing emits a series of short growls, much quieter this time >They vary in pitch and are broken by interruptions of the tongue, which you figure to be consenants >Those are words! It is trying to communicate with you! "I-I'm sorry, I can't understand." >The thing looks away for a moment and coughs several times. When it speaks again, it is clearly >"My name is Johan Hegg," it says in a deep baritone >There is silence, until it speaks again >"Those are quite the pipes you got their. Very impressive. You could be a metal vocalist. Maybe not death metal, it's not deep enough. But black-metal for sure." >You nod and say thank you, though you have no idea what he is talking about >You hear a slight rustling. You look towards the source, and see the girl who came up to you before walking timidly out into the clearing >She's looking right at you >"I-I really liked your screech," she says. "Maybe you could come back to my place? O-Or I could go to yours, whatever you want." >And then another female bursts from the trees >"Hey back off, he's mine!" she yells >"No way whore!" yet another screams >And then one screeches, and the shit hits the fan >Suddenly there's three dozen female batponies in the clearing screeching their heads off hoping to impress you >Johan Hegg stands up and laughs a laugh that can somehow be heard over all the screeching >His eye twinkles, he smiles warmly >The fire rises again, but this time none of the competitors notice >Johan moves towards it >Before stepping into the flames, he turns towards you and winks >He enters the circle, and descends back to whence he came >Leaving all these chicks fighting over you >Fucking Johan Le fin.
