//------------------------------// // Chapter 1: Problem? // Story: The Mane Six Get Trapped Inside Luna's Computer // by Burritoburger //------------------------------// DISCLAIMER Everything past the prologue and this point is HIGHLY (and we mean HIGHLY) sarcastic and unrealistic. If you have a problem with it, you may leave. Sincerely, the text you made speak in your head GENERATING WORLD... "Oof!" Twilight grunted, smacking into the pixelated earth. She could feel the texture of grass beneath her. "Okay, Twilight..." Luna's voice called from above. "You're supposed to open a portal to the End and kill the Enderdragon." She instructed. "Oh, yeah!" Twilight groaned sarcastically, sitting up and rubbing her head. "Piece of cake!" "Hey, you got yourself into this mess. Now go! I will contact you if you run into trouble!" The voice buzzed out, and Twilight peered across the vast landscape. Five minutes earlier... "Uh, why are we inside your computamathingy?" Applejack stared up at Luna, who was busy thinking the situation over. "I didn't do it. I should be asking you the same question." Luna stared back at the orange Earth Pony. "Which of you is responsible for this?" She asked, looking into the group. On cue, everypony stepped aside, revealing Twilight, who was hiding at the back of the crowd. She waved at Luna with a sheepish smile spread across her face. "Ah, Twilight Sparkle. I should have known. Now, tell me exactly what happened." "Well, I had gathered the girls in the library to show them a new spell I found that allowed the traveling between universes-" "Was it the trans-dimensional teleportation spell?" Luna cut in. "Uh... yes." Twilight cocked an eyebrow. "How did you know?" "Well, you're usually the one that finds everyday spells and considers them to be migically amazing, and that's the most everyday spell out there." Luna replied, seemingly bored. "Every- EVERYDAY?! That spell could answer one of the greatest unsolved mysteries of magic and science as we know it! I mean- who else has got into your computer before?!" Twilight countered. "Well, hypothetically speaking, Anon, the stupid 12-year-old sends me viruses about twice to five times a month. Does that count?" Luna looked back at Twilight. "Luna! I'm back from the Diabetic Universe for your weekly shipment of Doritos and Mountain Dew!" Luna's elder sister called before entering the room. "Do we really have to call that the Diabetic Universe? It makes me feel self-conscious about my-" "WHAT?!" Twilight screamed. Luna flinched and she took off her headset, rubbing her ears. "Oh! Twilight!" Celestia trotted over. "...And friends! What on Earth are you doing inside Luna's compu-" "HOLD ON!" Twilight interrupted. "You just got back from WHAT?!" She was about ready to lose her mind. Luna leaned over and whispered into her sister's ear, and she slowly nodded. "Twilight, didn't you see that big stargate thing?" Princess Celestia asked, staring at the ponies within the monitor. "Y'know, the one that we use to travel inter-dimensionally?" Celestia cocked an eyebrow at the lavender unicorn on the monitor. Twilight was at a loss for words. "The one that's right next to the royal garden? Been there since before you were even born?" Celestia waved a hoof in front of the screen trying to catch her attention. Finally, Twilight slowly closed her gaping mouth and groaned. "I need to think about this..." She grumbled, crawling over to the corner of the screen to calm down. "...Anyways, she used the spell and we ended up here." Applejack finished the story. "Hm. Well, I don't see why you can't just use the spell again and leave." Luna responded. "Great idea!" Twilight called from the corner of the screen. "If I could actually use my magic in a situation like this, I'd TOTALLY do EXACTLY THAT!" Twilight slumped back into her corner. "Hm. Well, I've never tried using magic on the hardware of my own computer before, but..." Luna trailed off. "But what?" Rarity asked, cocking an eyebrow. "If I mess with the hardware, it may crash the system permanently. Along with that, you'd probably be stuck in it forever." Luna explained. "Well, I have important business to take care of. Take care, Twilight Sparkle!" Celestia called before exiting the room. Twilight groaned sharply in reply. "So how DO we get out of here?" Rainbow Dash flew up the monitor to meet Luna's eyes. She only scratched her head and mumbled to herself. Then she shrugged. "I don't really know how to get you out without damaging the circuits... All I can really do is-" Luna was sharply interrupted by a deafening siren noise that blared continuously. Rainbow Dash fell to the bottom of the screen, clutching her ears while all the others did the same. All except for Twilight, who got KO'd by a pop-up that happened to smack her right in the face. Luna furiously started clicking the information provided on the pop-up, which, unfortunately for Twilight, semi-crushed her. Many little pop-ups appeared on-screen, with a dozen more after that. It was obvious Luna had lost control of the situation, and feared the worst when the computer crashed. <-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-> "Wha- Ah can't see anything!" "Me neither!" "I'm scared..." "Let's get naked!" "We already are, Pinkie." "REALLY?! YAY!" Suddenly, without warning, a flash of bright light appeared in front of the ponies. It appeared to be a face, a white one, with a wicked smile, a curved chin, and it had a kind of mocking tone. "U mad, ponies?" It boomed. "What in tarnation are you?!" Applejack harshly replied. "I am Anon, the Trolling Scientist! The Keeper of the Creeper! The Bigger of the Nigg-" "Yeah, yeah, what do you want?" Rainbow Dash floated in front of him, eyebrow cocked. "Oh, just to watch some delicious torment! You will be trapped in this computer for the rest of your unforsaken lives! I will torture you, one by one, and then..." His smile widened. "...Well, let's just say 'Secret Butt Fun!'" He then started to cackle loudly. "FIXED IT!" "...Oh, balls." The darkness swelled and slowly turned into a bright light, and while Luna appeared in front of our heroes, the mysterious face had slowly evaporated into nothingness. "I know how to get you out!" Luna declared. "Really?!" They all said at once, their spirits lifting. "There is one small problem, though..." Luna frowned. All the ponies' smiles of anticipation were replaced with looks of fear. "Anon had to store the program used to transfer you out, so he scattered the bits and pieces needed to set you free." She explained. "Unfortunately, those files are hidden. I can't find them. He stored them within the game codes of every game I own. The only way you can get them is if you all, one by one, went into the games and beat them." She scratched the back of her head. "Wait, wait, wait." Twilight shook her head. "You mean we have to play your games so you can get us out? "Sorry if I didn't make myself clear to you and your friends." Luna mocked. "Fine, where do we go first?" <-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-> "Welcome to Minecraft! Where your crap gets blown up when you don't want it to be!" Twilight turned to Luna, a stern look on her face. "I hate you."
