Even though the Mane Six forgave Starlight for everything she did, the pit of guilt in her stomach has still not gone anywhere since then. So Starlight thought it'd be a good idea to relax and play a game just to get things off her mind for a while. Taking some advice from Twilight about this particular game, she was told to do the "bad" route, meaning she had to kill everything in sight.
Starlight cursed herself for taking that advice once she saw just what awaited her.
A kinda sorta crossover with Undertale. What happens when you take a mare that really blows things out of proportion and is angered easily and pit her against the most rage inducing and unfair boss in video game history? Hell. That's what you get.
Rated Teen for language. Drama tag for some of Starlight's thoughts before the Sans fight, and Comedy tag for Starlight's thoughts and dialogue DURING the Sans fight (and for Twilight being a troll.)
Contains spoilers for Undertale's Genocide run.
I've never played Undertale nor do I ever intend to. However, this amused me.
10/10
147 times in a row? Damn she must suck at dodging so bad i actually wonder how she fared against Undyne the Undying. I beat Sans after dying 10 times in a row. The 5th death being the time i spared him.
6806200 Yeaaaaaah...
Keyboard+hooves+sleep deprived+Sans=HELL
6806211 Don't you think that Equestria would've made keyboards for hooves? She also could've used magic to use a regular keyboard and i killed Sans once with only a single hand without getting hit. It's not really that hard compared to Omega Flowey's attacks since they don't stop and are totally RNG.
6806226 They probably would have yeah now that I think about it. Though again, Starlight was already emotionally drained from the Genocide run, sleep deprived, and is one of those kinds of people that gets angry very easily (given her backstory it's basically canon at this point) and basically the angrier she gets the worst she does and less focused she is. Add that to the Sans fight which is SUPPOSED to be cheap and unfair, and you get this.
As for the whole magic thing, yeah she COULD have, but with Twilight standing right there watching her, she didn't wanna look like she was cheating.
6806242 Just how exactly can she cheat with magic? It's not like she would give her character infinite health that way,that's hacking.
6806265 It's kind of my headcanon that in terms of video games that using magic to operate the controller would end up making said game be too easy. Basically in video game tournaments magic would be banned from being used. Or in Starlight Glimmer's case here, it's kind of a pride thing.
To be honest this story's not meant to be taken ALL that serious. It's just Starlight going through Hell in the Sans battle with Twilight laughing.
on a scale of 1 to 10, this gets at most a 500
LOL. I've never played Undertale (Eventually, after watching Fairy Tail, Deadman Wonderland, playing 5 Guardians, finishing BO3 campaign, and playing Just Cause), and even I expected that ending.
6807075 Here's a video for you.
And one more.
This was amazing.
6808486 Nah. No spoilers.
6809601 The second video has zero spoilers, since you already know that the Sans fight is a thing.
6809873 Oh. Sure, then.
Have you ever considered submitting this story to Equestria Daily? You can find out how to do so here.
SEQUEL PLEASE I WANT STARLIGHT TO WIN.
I could tell exactly what was going to happen from the title alone, but still fun to read. "I'd like to replace this computer. This was a computer, I swear."
Starlight should complete this Genocide Run and then go for another True Pacifist, not understanding what "the terms" of restarting the universe meant…until that ending…
6811436 If I do a sequel at any point, that's probably what's going to happen.
6811078 And then meet Chara
6806278 I'd think that pony telekinesis would be like having several hands at once, which wouldn't be an advantage over two actual hands in this case...
So if I had to guess, Starlight ended up following Sans' advice afterwards without knowing it.
Game-wise, I mean.
"if we're really friends... you won't come back."
(Minor side note is that I don't particularly like Undertale. I like the skeleton brothers and the music, though, so there's no way I could skip this one.)
*Slow claps*
Brilliant.
And THAT is why I stick to pacifist.
You know, a sans-esque fight could have very well been a interesting alternate ending to The Cutie Re-Mark. (Albeit with genuine sparing instead Starlight getting dunked on.)

6886440 That would have been a MUCH better ending. Punishment for her badness but showing she still has a chance if she took Twilight's offer of mercy.
I sort of want to write a fic similar to this now.
Sort of a hidden message behind this entire fic: Twilight making Starlight do the Genocide run without any sort of heads up and having to fight Sans is her punishment and Starlight doesn't even realize it. Twilight's computer may have been a casualty but the entire scenario was needed in the end.
Great story but instead of "ooooohh" you should try this
Awww.... I was hoping she would have beat the genocide route, refused to reset the world, get the sh*t scared out of her by Chara, THEN do the true pacifist route, only to get scared by Chara again...
Oh well, Twilight having a melted computer was funny to.
6923239 This is probably going to be a thing
6923257
yay!
XD Awkward doesn't begin to cover it. XD
gold, just pure gold.
6806200 Well, Sans IS the hardest boss.
how about no
Meh.
Not reading yet only because I have yet to do the genocide run. I've done the one where you kill the first dog, Undyne, Metaton, Asgore, and all the little guys in between; and currently working on the Pacifist route (any tips on how to beat Metaton).
6944158 Tips on beating Mettaton in pacifist...
Beating Mettaton in the pacifist route is pretty difficult. Basically you need to survive long enough to blow off all his limbs with your yellow soul and once that happens, get to 10,000 ratings.
Extra ways to get ratings involve either saying anything with the words "legs" or "toby" in the portion where Mettaton asks you an essay question. You can also get boosted ratings from eating anything sold at Burgerpant's shop during the fight.
Extra beating method: get to 12,000 ratings without blowing up any of Mettaton's limbs and the fight will end immediately. Doesn't affect your pacifist run either way, but it's just more of an alternative method to beating him.
6944201 Thanks.
By the way, is there a reason you need to blow up his limbs, or is it just necessary along with the ratings?
6944783 It's pretty much just to progress. If you manage to get to 12,000 ratings before doing that though, you don't have to blow his limbs up.
Twilight is an asshole in this. I may be taking this too seriously, but I actually kinda hate both her and Rainbow Dash right now.
6952167 Considering that Starlight dragged her through the dirt with the whole thing in the finale and basically created multiple doomsdays, I think it's pretty justified.
"Okay, you wanna mess with time and space and you think you're above the consequences? Well in that case, I'm not telling you about Sans~"
Rainbow has no excuse. She's just kind of a jerk.
Cue the air horns!
This is amazing, and I love it. geeettttttt dunked on!
6952634 for the lols?
6928659 is he really? or are you the real final boss?
7025635 Haha
that is the funniest bonus chapter Ive read good job
And then Twilight throws Starlight into Tartarus screaming GET DUNKED ON! Interesting parallel between Chara vs Sans and Starlight vs Twilight
6944201
6944158
Don't you just automatically win if you eat the steak shaped like his face? Or get the ratings up past the bar in general?
if i saw that my first reaction would probably be ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
7177233 Yeah she basically only said that to get Starlight comfortable. Twilight sort of suffered the same emotions of dread that Starlight did when Rainbow told HER to play it.
