They shouldn't have blamed themselves. While it was true that their actions did bring about the end of Equestria, the entire planet was already doomed and slated for destruction anyway. The outcome was simply unavoidable.

This did little to ease Twilight Sparkle's guilt, however. She had still chosen to research those mysterious ruins at the behest of the princess. She had chosen to decipher the symbols that lined the inside of the temple. She had chosen to inscribe those symbols in a spell and mail the result to Rainbow Dash. The only consolation she could take was that, while by her hand Equestria had been annihilated, it was also by her hand that the Pony race would be saved.

Yet, contrary to her conviction, she did not summon the meteors. They were already here. All they can do now is play the game presented to them.

This story, The Most Dangerous Game, is a pony crossover with Homestuck, by Andrew Hussie. However, I am doing my best to ensure that knowledge of the source webcomic is not required to follow the story, while avoiding making the story boring for existing fans of Homestuck. If all goes well, you should be able to enjoy the story regardless of whether or not you are familiar with what it's based on.

Yeah, it's been done before, but I'm not posting this for praise. I'm posting this because my stupid muse won't leave me alone until I do. Motivation is a fickle thing sometimes.

I do not promise to update. My higher priority is World Without Rainbows.

Gog dang it another Homestuck crossover to read

saw the name saw there was no rainsford :fluttercry:

Wow. This is really good. More!

Sorry. A crossover with the short story "The Most Dangerous Game" would be fascinating, and I would be first in line to read it.

Alas, the title of this story is merely a shout-out.

Not bad, buddy! :rainbowdetermined2: obstinateNarcoleptic! Perfect.

She doesn't know what narcoleptic means, does she?

Pinkie is confirmed for best Prospitian!

Holy crap.

You don't know how long I've been waiting for this crossover, especially one being amazingly done! A few spelling mistakes, otherwise this is just freaking awesome.

I also loved the 420, that part was funny.

Question tho, shouldn't have Twilight done something to the Artifact? Like how John had to take a bite of his Artifact or how Dave had to wait for his to hatch?

Oh gosh, I have so many questions! I seriously can't wait to see what happens.

This is just dfkahk -giddy- :rainbowkiss: :rainbowkiss:

You wouldn't mind if I were to draw some fanart for this story, would you?

Nox

Oh, this looks interesting...

I hope you continue this, I see great things in store for the mane six.

Yessssssss! Damn, this is just getting better and better. Only typo I noticed was pause misspelled as puase in the previous chapter. The way you write Rainbow Dash's voice, especially in the chatlogs, is very unique but I find myself quite liking it. Very good job at creating combined feelings of amusement and 'oh shit' in me.

This isn't the only Homestuck crossover. There's also Hoofstuck, which is done in the same format as Homestuck and is posted on mspfanventures.com. Then there's Ponystuck, another story on fimfiction that starts out mediocre but improves as you progress, and it has fantastic humor and dialog.

And answers regarding Twilight's Cruxite artifact are forthcoming.

Sure, you can draw fanart if you like. I'd love to see the results. Maybe I could even use it as a cover image (and credit you, of course.) But I don't think I've really done anything unique with this story yet. For the most part, everything has been either ponies or homestuck, and the story has yet to gain its own identity.

It will though, don't you worry about that. The beautiful thing about both Friendship is Magic and Homestuck is that they're mythologies as much as they are stories. There's so much material to choose from. For example, I haven't yet seen a FiM/Homestuck crossover that uses the exiles. I am fixing that.

So, the founders of Equestria are the ancestors, huh? Cool.

Oh god, Spikesprite?
My face hurts from laughing too much. This is awesome.

Okay, this is really nice.
Let's get you more readers. Posting on MSPA forums now.

I like this, keep righting

Okay, I pretty much need more of this.

I am working on the next segment right now. Soon.

I hope this meens more chpter in the near futer

This is very good. You've captured Hussie's narrative style well, although you're not as self-indulgent of course. I trust the fourth wall will not remain unbroken, though.

Not entirely sure, but it seems like Fluttershy is probably going to be some variety of Rage hero. What with the comfort mechanisms to prevent outbursts of anger and all.

Nox

So what is her weapon? tomekind? pipettekind? sciencekind?

815086

She doesn't have a Strife Specibus. Yet.

One of the requirements I gave myself in writing this was to not change their universe at all. Sylladecies and Strife Specibii both exist in the continuity of this story, and the characters will encounter them soon, but at the moment none of them have.

And believe it or not, I have actually considered all three of those options for when she inevitably does obtain her specibus. Yes, even sciencekind.

I think Sciencekind would be awesome.

Cool, thanks for clearing that up...I hope they get fun, quirky inventorie systems too.

Also, while I have your attention, you ARE going to make Rainbow Dash the ??? of Blood right? Because the title image is too cool not to make cannon in some way.

As for weapons, I saw another where they gave Twilight Quillkind, so for the sake of character consistency AND originality, I would recommend:

Paperkind: all book, scroll, and other paper heavy objects fit in it. This also opens up the most awesome idea ever...ORIGAMI BLADE COMBAT!

If you track down the original version of that image (I credited the artist and linked to her tumblr), you'll notice that the original image had Rainbow as a Hero of Breath.

Also, I took a page from the Alpha Kids when writing the second-person introductions, if you know what I mean.

821061

Yes. Hell yes.

Rainbow Dash is now the Page of Spunk, retroactively. She always has been. Any indications otherwise were all red herrings.

Also, Violet CLM is reading my story. This makes me giddy.

Nox

...a towel.

Oh, you just had to go there :derpytongue2:

Nox

Oh, I like where this is going...

I really hope that I don't have to shout your name at the heavens anytime soon. "uberPhoenix" doesn't roll off the tongue like "HUUSSSIIIIIE!" Watch, watch.
UBERPHOENIIIIIIIX!
See? It's just not the same.

Noticed you used "hands" instead of "hooves" a couple times. Just saying.

And Hussie just has so many more opportunities for gratuitous use in general.

Like a Huss...
Every day I'm Hussie-ing...

Although it has been done before, I have not seen it nearly as often as other stories. Human in equestria is beyond over used and I love those stories. Also I only get about 5 reaults when i search homestuck on this site. It should be an unique enough and interesting read.

The seventh name is derpy. I'm calling it! :derpyderp1:
(Inar heads off to clickity click the link at the end of the chapter)

The Pestertomes...that was really clever of you, actually.

I like this.
This is good.
It is hard to contain my excitement for future chapters.

For some reason, the links for 'be fluttershy' and 'be rarity' aren't there, but I see on the chapter list that the chapters exist.

massive dialogue

second person

RD talking somewhat like Dave Strider...

Definitely the Homestuck I know and love.

I'm kinda surprised teleport spammer twi isn't a witch of space

I have a reason for making her Dust. This reason would require me to explain what Dust does. Which I will. Eventually.

Oh noez! Now all the imps are going to look like Spike.
...
This is going to be awkward. :twilightsheepish:

I was thinking about making one of these...

But I'll just read yours while I work on my current project. :twilightsmile:

Liked and fav'd.

Keep up the good work.

I'm just waitin for an update......
