til Dwayne the Rock Johnson has a horse farm and…
Concept: Dwayne the Rock Johnson’s daughter is a fan of Star Stable (Either Simone, who’s like 16 or Jasmine but in the future of course cause she’s a babby). The daughter gets mysteriously sucked into the game, which Dwayne the Rock Johnson finds out when he comes into the room and sees the game running- and the Dark Riders riding off with a character that looks suspicious like his daughter ..
He can’t do anything in the game, since the character you’re supposed to be playing is gone… but he sees people in chat asking where Jasmine/Simone went and if that’s part of a quest…?
So he creates an account. His avatar inexplicably looks like this:
Frustrated, he powers his way through the first couple levels, pulling out his credit card to pay for Star Rider. The only option that works is “Lifetime”. Dwayne the Rock Johnson rolls his eyes but if anyone can afford lifetime Star Rider its Dwayne the Rock Johnson.
Suddenly there’s a weird glitch on the screen… it looks like a whirlpool? It’s oddly realistic, almost three dimensional, and as if it were beckoning him to come closer.. closer. And then he’s in the game. Trying to get his bearings, Dwayne the Rock Johnson desperately tries to find out what happened to his girl, but the townsfolk only seem concerned with their day to day activities. Though the other players are able to communicate .. only the high level girls tend to ignore his requests for help, and the lower level people are either unable to help or looking for someone called Spirit…? even if a word here or there drops out, he realizes that he has to level up to even get close to the one who sounds like he may be behind this, and so he spends all his Star Coins making days pass faster, only to realize he can’t buy anymore while in game (thus having to wait a night, or a week til more are added). The adventure begins.
Dwayne the Rock Johnson comes to understand the he is the reincarnation of the Spirit of Aideen. He befriends the other players, the townsfolk- even the horses.
Soon hes admired by everyone. He’s flying through his quests, until the day comes where he finds himself in a refrigerator, waiting to spring out and confront this Mr. Sands himself.
When they finally meet, Mr Sands laughs. “Garnok…” he bellows, “As expected, He has fallen for our little ruse..” Sands adds, steepling his fingers and nodding to his hooded minions.
“Where’s my daughter, Sands?” Dwayne the Rock Johnson snarls, aware of the goons that are slowly starting to surround him, making mental notes of who’s closer and who looks likely to go down with a single punch.
“Oh.” Sands chuckles. “We have no more use for her..” he says, motioning for one of his men to free her. She rushes to hug her farther, then inches closer to his horse, knowing the Soul Horse will likely be their only method of escape. Meanwhile, behind Mr. Sands a shadowy form rises from the fog off the ocean.. and his chuckle turns into a deep throaty laugh.
“What the..” The rock looks in horror as pink light emanates from the sigils on the floor of the tanker.
“Garnok!” Sands growls. “Your new earthly vessel has arrived!”
The goons start to swarm Dwayne the Rock Johnson who rips off his shirt and begins to throw down. “RockWalker!” He yells to his Soul Horse, “Get grr Her unf OUT OF HERE!”. The horse nods knowingly, and the daughter leaps on and races away, with a couple of goons very slowly (like, are-they-even-chasing-her slowly?!?!) following behind.
‘All right Garbok, or whatever your name is.” Dwayne the Rock Johnson says as the goons stop to catch their collective breath. He raises the Peoples eyebrow and flexes his muscles. “I don’t know if you even have a nose but you’re about to smell …what the Rock is cookin…”
The Rock fights with a fury never seen in the ring, or any of his films. Goons go flying but Mr Sands seems undeterred, and is in fact smiling, knowing Dwayne The Rock Johnson is only human and will weaken eventually.. When the Soul Horse Rock (the Horse) Walker reappears they fight as a team, having each others back, fighting as one..
But even the strength of Dwayne the Rock Johnson and Rock the Horse Walker combined is no match for a cowardly villain with a blow dart full of tranquilizers.
When the dust settles, our hero is ass up on the floor and his once noble steed is hooves up by his side. “Now,” says Mr. Sands. “Once the planets are aligned at the end of the summer, we can begin the re-bodying process. Lock him up…”
Meanwhile in Moorland… the daughter has called for a trailer (which is what Dwayne the Rock Johnson should have done but you never can tell where the trailer will or won’t go).. and is rallying the troops. She explains, through heavily censored chat, what has become of her father, and that she desperately needs help saving him. Everyone is moved - from the lowliest newb to the highest level Star Rider. Every Druid and Soul Rider. Everyone is eager to help (after all, one could go nuts waiting for new quests and here one has fallen in their laps!). Horses are trained. Spirit is forgotten. Weapons are forged (courtesy of Conrad, a huge Dwayne the Rock Johnson fan).
When people log on there is a new opening scene- telling the very story you see here. Dwayne the Rock Johnson is in need of Jorviks help, and only the best and brightest of the Moorland Stable Girls can save him …
Are you… one of those girls?
