Sorry this took so long! I was working on my other projects cause I like writing action and dark stuff better. But here it is! Hope you all enjoy
"Aaaaaand let's try that again." Celestia, finally finding enough diamond to make a pickaxe.
"Well, we would've found a stronghold by now if Cadence didn't blow everything up last time." Luna said, heavily implying it was all Cadence's fault, who pretended not to notice.
"I found Scootaloo." Cadence said, looking down at a chicken. "Bak-bak-bak-bak-bak!"
Luna rolled her eyes. She was on the surface with Cadence, searching for supplies while Celestia was keeping all the diamond and ion to herself underground. They tried to steal some stuff off her last time... But turns out her cave was littered with pressure plates they decided best not to get near to.
"Found more coal." Celestia said, looking up at the ceiling and mining coal ore with her diamond pickaxe, the dark cave she was in only lit by the pond of lava next to her.
"Cadence, we could just use the diamond from the Crystal Empire-" Luna started for the fifth time, making little success since the last time.
"NO!" Cadence roared before she even finished.
Luna sighed, looking back at their cave. They had run out of stone pickaxes, so now were looking for more wood to make wooden ones, so they could then get stone and make stone ones. A dim glow came from inside the dark cave, the glow of lava.
Luna watched that glow for a while, her head continuously tilting to one side as she cooked up something sinister inside her mind. Then with a click her head jerked back to its normal position, an evil and excited grin on her face as she rubbed her hooves together. She quickly leaned towards Cadence, and tapped her on the shoulder. She looked at her, taking off her headphones. Luna whispered something in her ear, and they shared some giggles- Celestia was still oblivious to what was about to hit her.
*Twenty minutes later...
"Hey, sis." Celestia heard Luna say.
"Yes, Luna?" she asked, still mining around her cave.
"Look up."
"Wha..?" Celestia suddenly saw the area around her light up, and looked towards she ceiling. But instead of finding just plane rock, she was met with a face full of lava.
Luna had dug a hole through the ground, and poured lava down the hole.
"Ah! No! IT BUUUURNS!!" Celestia yelped, making her way out of the thick lava, her character on fire. She ran around, trying to find water- but she found none. In the heat of the moment(quite literally at that), she decided it would be fine to go splash around in the lava pond.
*
"Nice." Luna said flatly as the words 'Molestia5000 tried to swim in lava' flashed onto her screen. "Very nice."
"Once I respawn, I will kill the both of you-" Celestia said, then immediately shut up as she spawned. At first there was only confusion on her face, which turned to realization, and turned to utter anger.
She was in a 3x3 room, sealed off with only a torch and a sign inside. Worst part, the walls, floor, and ceiling were all made of obsidian. She peered at the sign.
"BUUUURRRRNNN" it read, and she made a temporal rage face. Instead of letting out the rage, she somehow managed to contain it; and started punching a block of obsidian with her hand.
"I'll get out of here eventually." she sighed frustratedly.
"Eventually." Luna said, and shared a laugh with Cadence.
*
So that carried on as Luna and Cadence found more supplies and invaded Celestia's cave. The diamond pickaxe was nowhere to be fond though, burned away in the lava.
"At least there's still a chest full of ion." Luna said, moving the contents of a wooden chest into her inventory.
Suddenly they heard Celestia roar and slam the controller down onto the floor.
"She must've found out that the room has five layers of obsidian..." Cadence whispered, a hint of a smile in her voice.
"Mmm-hmmm." Luna nodded, as if it wasn't a big deal and continued on taking everything she could find.
Night was quick to settle again, the entire world darkening. There were no torches outside, just complete darkness- or it was supposed to be that way.
"Torch light?" Cadence asked, standing on the edge of a cliff with Luna, overlooking the vast plains.
"Probably a village." Luna said.
"Village? Who built it?" Cadence asked, peering at the bright spot on the horizon.
"Computer generated." Luna started heading down, jumping from block to block down the side of the cliff. "Let's go check it out."
"OK- eeep!" Cadence squealed.
All Luna saw was a slight blur fall past her screen, and a loud crack and 'OOOMF'.
"Nice." she said to the words 'ILuvShiningArmorXOXO hit the ground too hard' on her screen.
"I need more practice rock climbing." Cadence said, respawning in the obsidian room with Celestia. "Hey." she said rather awkwardly.
Celestia just glared at her angrily, only two blocks into the obsidian wall.
"Guess I'll be checking out this village on my own then." Luna said, running off towards the light spot. Suddenly she saw a tall dark figure turn around in front of her, its purple eyes staring menacingly at her. "ENDERMAN!!!" she screamed, quickly running off in the opposite direction.
Purple spots started appearing on Luna's screen, and a second later the Enderman had teleported in front of her, in its hands held a dirt block. With a single attack it took away a quarter of Luna's health.
"AAAAH!" she yelped, jumping back and running away. There were purple spots appearing here and there occasionally, telling her that the Enderman was right behind her.
She ran towards the village, being the only place where she might make it indoors and shut the Enderman out. Sure, it could teleport in- but if she stands just outside its attack range on the other side of the door, it might keep trying to walk through it.
She was at the the edge of the village now, and she jumped onto the wooden blocks keeping the water of a small wheat farm in. She quickly ran up to a house, opened the door, got in, and slammed the door shut behind her.
"Phew." she said, wiping a bead of sweat from her brow. The Enderman was right outside, standing against the door and staring in. Now she had to take care of it somehow... But all she had was an ion shovel she salvaged from Celestia's cave.
SCREW IT.
She hit the Enderman with the shovel, and with a flash of purple bubbles it disappeared.
"Oh sh-" Luna quickly turned around, already swinging the shovel.
She hit the Enderman again, and once again it teleported away.
"AAARRRGGHHH!!!" Luna growled frustratedly, swinging the shovel at everything she looks at.
*Two hours later...
Luna huffed and puffed, her hooves aching from repeatedly slamming the button. Finally the Enderman had died, and she stood victorious in the village.
"The hay happened here?" Celestia asked, approaching Luna with Cadence.
"There was a fight." Luna said, pulling on a hard-out poker face. The village had been torn apart, holes ripped in the walls and everything completely demented.
"Huh." Cadence said, raising an eyebrow out of suspicion.
"So. Stronghold." Luna quickly diverted the topic. "We should probably just start from Celestia's cave. Since it's already unground."
"Right." Celestia said. "We already started." she threw Luna a diamond pickaxe.
"Huh." Luna said, picking up the pickaxe.
*
"You barely started." Luna said, looking at the cave that seemed pretty much the same. Just some holes in the walls where diamond used to be. The cave was still lit only by the pool of lava in the middle of it. "Any ideas on how to go past this?" she gestured at the lava.
"Get mining." Celestia said, trying to dig around it. "Damn- all there is here is just stone. Should probably save this diamond pickaxe for later- NOOO!!" she yelled as she pressed the wrong button, tossing the pickaxe into the lava.
For minutes they just stared at where the diamond pickaxe had evaporated in the lava.
"Good going. I'm moving on." Luna said, keeping on digging where Celestia left off. Cadence moved to join her while Celestia continued staring at the lava.
"Well. That sucks." she finally moved, using only her stone pickaxe.
Within a matter of minutes they managed to work their way around the lethal and consuming pool of lava.
"Look what I found here." Luna said, peering into a much larger cave. "Looks like the bottom of that valley earlier." she peered up at the edges. "Wait. It is." the sun was already up, and at the top there was a small hole with light pouring through where Celestia committed suicide earlier.
"It just feels so weird, the sun and moon automatically going through the cycles." the princess of the day said.
"If only the real world could be like this. I could sleep in." Luna said, walking into the valley.
"I think we should put torches down." Cadence pointed out. Only a few columns of lava lit up the vast valley- plenty of darkness for evil critters to spawn.
"Come on. There's nothing here-" Luna's eyes widened as she heard a loud hiss behind her. She screamed, jumping away. The explosion ripped through several layers of stone ground, leaving Luna huffing and puffing from the sudden scare. "Half a heart..." she breathed. "Half!"
"Yeah. Let me help you with that." Celestia hit her sister, and NightmareMoon0102 was slain by Molestia5000.
"Buck." Luna said, back at the spawn.
"There has to be a stronghold somewhere here." Cadence said, looking along the valley walls and placing down torches. "We should make a small house here and set the spawn."
"Good idea." Celestia said, starting by placing down blocks of cobblestone that overflowed her inventory.
*
"Im going to start hunting for food. You girls'll probably starve to death down there. Here, birdie birdie birdie..." Luna said, having acquired a bow and quite an impressive number of arrows.
"You can eat the animals!?" Cadence's eyes widened in horror and disgust.
"It's not really graphic, so it's all goods." Luna said, pulling the bow string all the way back and slowly creeping towards a chicken, still unaware of her presence. There was a loud pop as she let the arrow go. "Now I need a furnace." she said as she picked up the meat.
"Just carry the meat back to the house. We have one." Cadence said, sitting beside a burning furnace; trying to make glass. Somehow there was a bit of sand down here, so- why not?
"Got it. Damnit- it's getting dark again." Luna said, looking up at the moon. She would've lowered it again if she could. Just hunt down this last pig...
She started creeping towards the animal, oinking away at the night air and jumping around for no particular reason. Luna was hidden behind a dirt block, the crosshairs trained a little above the pig. She slowly shifted to the side to get a clearer shot, and released the button. The arrow arced through the air- bullseye.
Luna cheered, but a little bit too loudly- she didn't hear the quiet hisssssssssssss behind her.
Her screen exploded with white bubbles of smoke and boom that almost ruptured her eardrums. She screamed, leaping back and throwing the controller into the air. Her headphones fell off and clattered to the ground. The back wheels of the wheelchair caught in the furry carpet, and she toppled over and fell on her back.
"Gaaaaaaaaaaaayyy." she said, getting up and levitating her chair to the correct orientation. She picked up her controller, and was tempted to press 'exit to main menu', but decided against it. In fact, her hoof was hovering over the 'X' button when she changed options and slammed it down.
"Hurry Luna. Our hunger bars are kinda depleting." Cadence said.
"Shuddup." Luna said irritably.
After a few minutes of tracing her own steps(evident in the missing blocks in the tree trunks), she managed to find her stuff where it was in a large crater.
"Goodie." she said, picking up her items. This time she wasn't about to let her guard down. Now to find that stupid cave and live at the same time... Shouldn't be too hard for an experienced player of such.
*
"Girls girls girls girls!" Luna said, quickly running into the house and closing the door behind her, eyes wide and wild.
"Yay! Lulu's here." Cadence grinned, clapping her front hooves together.
"I... Made it!" Luna looked behind her.
"What- weren't you expecting it?" Celestia raised an eyebrow, then suddenly jumped back as a zombie poked its head through the closed door. "That's just one zombie though. Let me take care of it." she said, opening the door and slashing the zombie back with her stone sword.
Luna quickly closed the door. "Not ONE zombie! TWENTY zombie!"
All they heard were Celestia's brutal screams as the zombies slaughtered her- not quite the other way around.
"Does she have any diamond?" Luna asked.
"Nope." Cadence said as the screams dragged on.
"Then keep the door closed." Luna said, turning her attention back to the closed door. Soon, as the screams abruptly ended; the words 'Molestia5000 was slain by zombie' appeared.
"Good luck getting your stuff back. I recommend a bow and arrow." Luna said.
"Stuff you." Celestia said.
"Not sure what I did wrong." Luna said simply, moving to the furnace and cooking some meat.
"I'm going to start mining again." Cadence said, and somehow Luna for the first time noticed the big gaping hole in the middle of the house, guarded by a trapdoor so no mobs could climb from the depths and wreck havoc in the house.
By now they already have their beds placed down, so the spawns are set. Celestia spawned inside the room, glaring at Luna.
"Screw it. I'm going to try get my stuff." she said, running out the door. A few seconds later she reappeared inside the room. "Buck."
"Good job." Luna clapped.
"Who cares. Got infinite lives." Celestia said, storming out once again.
"Oh well. Bye." Cadence said, opening the trap door and descending into the cave below.
"Me follow." Luna said, closing the trapdoor behind her.
They descended into the darkness. The cave was pretty small, only several blocks across.
"K. I'm going to dig this way-" Luna hit the stone wall to her right. "And you dig down."
"Why do I dig down?" Cadence whined.
"Dunno. But you should." Luna said.
So they continued. Cadence stared warily at the floor beneath her character's feet, but decided to start mining anyway- which she soon regretted.
Luna heard a loud yelp behind her, and turned around. Funny thing is, there was only a hole in the ground and no Cadence. And no death message popped up either.
"Cadence?" she called out, slowly approaching the hole. Light was flooding out of it, and she already knew what was inside before she peaked in. "Cadence?" she peered over the edge.
"Holy... Cow..." Cadence said, standing on one single block of stone amidst a sea of lava with no visible end.
"Wow. That's just... Incredible." Luna said, watching some sparks leap from the lava and jump around.
"No, I mean- there actually is a cow down here." Cadence said, looking at something Luna couldn't see from her angle. Seconds later a loud 'MOOOO' was heard. Luna quickly shook her head.
"Do you have anything to get back up here?" she asked.
"I got nothing!" Cadence said, sorting through her inventory. Only her diamond pickaxe remained amongst boxes and boxes of emptiness. "I emptied everything I didn't need out so I would have space for other stuff!"
"Smart." Luna said, and even she couldn't tell whether or not she was being sarcastic.
"Gimme some stone blocks!"
"Right. Here-" Luna said, then started making a gurgling noise as she threw a stream of stone blocks down at Cadence. She made a vomiting sound, as the character in the game looked like it was vomiting stone blocks.
*Five minutes later...
"I-I really think that's enough." Cadence said, standing on one single stone block filled up by other blocks. Her inventory was full of stone, and way more than she needed. She looked up at the still pouring stream of blocks. "You can stop now."
"Okay." Luna said, going back to mining.
Then something clicked in Cadence. Where the buck did she get all this?
"I... I got my stuff back!" Celestia announced, climbing the ladder and coming into the cave. She accidentally fell, and with only half a heart left; immediately was killed. "AAH! You know what!? Buck this game. I need a cookie." she said, dropping her controller and storming out of the room without even clicking 'respawn' first.
"Cadence! Psssst- Cadence!" Luna whispered.
"Yeah?"
"Don't come up here yet! Put this down there first- then come up!" Luna tossed something down the hole.
Cadence saw the item appear in her inventory, processed Luna's instructions, and immediately had a sinister smile creep onto her face. She put down two stone blocks in the lava, and laid down Celestia's bed. She quickly jumped up, and made a tower that carried her up to the top.
"Is it done?" Luna asked, still digging through the layers of stone.
"It is." Cadence said with evil glee.
"Good. Now help me mine."
Suddenly water gushed out of a hole they mined in the wall, flooding into the narrow corridor. The torches placed on the ground were washed away, and almost instantly everything went black.
"Well... This is... Kinda dark." Cadence said, hearing the slushing of water as she and Luna were washed back into the cave- which was a dark mass right now.
"Shuck." Luna muttered as she heard the loud and angry growl of a recently spawned zombie right next to them.
Celestia came back into the room, still munching on a cookie as she sat down and clicked 'respawn'.
"Huh." she said once the map loaded, standing on her bed and in the middle of a near endless sea of lava. "What is a cow doing here?
