The RPG // by FandomPlays1234 //------------------------------// "Well here we are," said Reiko. The place that the group stopped by was a small lab not too far from the village. Fandom walked up to the door and knocked. After 10 seconds the door opened as a kitsune wearing a lab coat appeared at the door. "Hi you must be Doctor Mension," said Fandom. "Or D. Mension, whatever's easy," said the kitsune. "Is there something you need?" Fandom quickly explained their situation as a brief summery. "I see and you want to know the quickest way to the gate?" asked D. Mension. "Yes sir," answered Fandom. "Well actually I think it was a bad idea, but all the gates are actually in the same place as one another," said D. Mension. "What, you didn't tell me that Reiko," said Fandom turning around. "It's not, there must be some sort of mistake," said Reiko. "Afraid not missy, after Origin took over the the worlds, he wanted the gates to be close to each other so he doesn't have to risk losing members of his army every time he moves to a new gate," explained D. Mension. "That damn bastard," cursed Reiko. "Now if you want the quickest route to the gate, just go to gateway plaza, it shouldn't be too far from here," said D. Mension. "Just go over that big hill and you should be able to see it almost immediately," "Thank you," said Fandom. "Anytime legendary hero," said D. Mension. "If you have any other questions just ask me," "We'll take you upon that offer," said Fandom. D. Mension smiled as he walked back into the lab closing the door behind him. "Alright team let's go," said Fandom. Twilight and Reiko nodded. The three quickly made their way to the gate plaza and arrived there a lot faster then they imagined. "Whoa," said Fandom looking up at the large gates. "Amazing isn't it?" asked Reiko "I was quite surprised to see them for myself to first time as well," "Really?" asked Twilight. "Wouldn't everyone be?" asked Reiko. Fandom looked above each to see which gate led to Equestria. "There," said Fandom pointing towards the gate on the very left. "That's where we need to go," Both Twilight and Reiko nodded their heads as they followed Fandom through the gate. Fandom walked out and found himself in a small city covered with crystals. "Whoa," said Fandom. Reiko and Twilight followed him out and checked out their surroundings. "This is!" Twilight gasped. "Are those crystals?" asked Reiko. "Yes, this place is called the Crystal Empire, one of the major cities in Equestria," answered Twilight. "But it looks so dark," said Fandom. "It looks like Origin did some remodeling of this place," said Reiko. "There's black crystals everywhere!" Fandom walked up to a towering black crystal that was sprouting from the ground. He pulled a loose chunk off and examined it. "This is Obsidian!" gasped Fandom. "A what?" asked Reiko. "Obsidian, a type of gemstone found back in my world, it's not something you would find just lying around," explained Fandom. "Guys we've got company," said Reiko. Twilight and Fandom turned around to find themselves surrounded by Primids. "Damn already," cursed Fandom. "Guys get close to me, I have an idea," said Twilight Fandom and Reiko followed her advice and gathered around her. Twilight closed her eyes as her horn began to glow. Before the Primids could attack the three teleported out of the area. Fandom and Reiko opened their eyes to find themselves closer to the castle they saw just a little while ago. Twilight had teleported them closer to the castle. "So are we going in there asked Reiko. Twilight nodded. Reiko was about to step out from behind the pillar they were hiding behind when Fandom stopped them. "What?" asked Reiko. "There," said Fandom pointing towards the entrance. The two looked over and saw four Scope Primids guarding the entrance along with three Skuttler Cannoneers and two Chain Chomps. "You've gotta be kidding me," said Reiko. "How the hell are going to get in?" "Well in a RPG you would normally battle the enemies to enter a new area," answered Fandom. "That's probably not a good idea," said Twilight. "What you have a better plan?" asked Fandom. "I would've teleported us in the castle, but it seems like there's some sort of dark magic that prevented me from doing that," answered Twilight. "Crap the Subspace Army really bumped up their game," said Fandom. "Actually I've been wanting to try something for a while," said Reiko. "What?" asked Fandom. Reiko began rummaging through her bag and pulled out a brown wand. "Wait I thought you used a sword," said a Fandom. "Just because I use a sword doesn't mean I can't use magic either," laughed Reiko. She began rummaging through her bag a pulled out a leather spell book and quickly flipped through the pages. "Here it is, a spell on becoming invisible," "Great idea Reiko," said Twilight. Smiling, Reiko waved her wand and read the spell off the book. Within moments Fandom, Twilight, and Reiko had turned completely invisible. "Alright before we head in, be careful not to bump into the guards, they may not be able to see us, but they can still feel us if we touched them," warned Reiko. Fandom and Twilight nodded and soon the three slowly began moving towards the doors. Somehow the three had managed high enough without touching the guards and landed safely on the other side. Fandom slowly opened the door wide enough for the three of them to pass through and enter the castle unnoticed. "Alright, now what?" asked Fandom. "We should probably find a way to take back the Crystal Empire from Origin's control," suggested Reiko. "How?" asked Fandom. "Maybe if we head over to Princess Cadence's throne room, we'll find the one in charge of keeping things in check," suggested Twilight. "Lead the way Miss Sparkle," said Fandom. Twilight rolled her eyes as led the the two to Cadence's throne room. They eventually reached the door leading to the throne room and was lucky enough to find that no guards were keeping watch. Reiko's invisibility spell wore off as the three stood before the doors. "Ready?" asked Twilight. Fandom and Reiko nodded their heads. Twilight took a deep breath as she pushed the door open revealing the inside of the room. It was completely dark with only torches as the sources of light. Across from they were was an empty throne. Above the throne was the logo for the Subspace Empire. A circle with a single line coming out from the left side and only going halfway to the center. "Geez creepy," said Fandom. "And dark," added Reiko. "Twilight!" a voice spoke up. The three looked towards the left side of the room to see three cages hanging from the ceiling. "Cadence and big brother!" Twilight gasped. "And is that Thorax?" "Twilight, thank Celestia you're alright," said Cadence. "I'm here too," another voice spoke up. "Who's that?" asked Twilight. "It''s Thorax," answered Shining Armor. "Thorax!?" gasped Twilight. "Yes," answered the changeling. "hang on guy's we'll get you out!" Twilight called out to them. "No don't come here, just get out of here!" Cadence called out to her. "What why?" asked Twilight. At that moment the room started flashing red as an alarm rang out. The three looked up to see a large red text box. BOSS BATTLE "Already?" asked Fandom. Suddenly the flames on the torches lit up brighter until everything was visible. A loud roar erupted from above as something fell from the ceilings. "What the hell!?" yelped Fandom. Once the dust cleared, the three could see a large six legged robot standing before them. The robot had a pig snout imprinted on the underside with two glowing red lights. A single child was encased in a glass case in the center of the robot's body. Fandom looked above the robot as a single name appeared over a red health bar with a skull to the left. Porky "And I here I thought we were the one's eating pork," said Reiko. "No time for jokes," said Fandom pulling out his two crosses. "Our first boss battle!" Reiko drew her magic wand and her spell book as Twilight got into battle stance. "Let's beat this pig dead!" The three were immediately thrown into a battle against Porky. Three black text boxes appeared in front of the three. All three had been given four options. Fight, Items, Pass, Run. Fandom was the first to go. He hit fight as he was given only one options. Cross Boomerang. He raised both of his crosses and aimed.Fandom used Cross Boomerang. Fandom threw both crosses at the same time. The two crosses struck Porky twice and curved back striking him two more times on the way back. A -20 Combo 4x appeared over his head. Switching places with Fandom, Reiko selected the fight option and was given two options. Sword Strike, Burst Barrage "Let's see if he can handle this," snickered Reiko pointing her wand at Porky. Reiko used Burst Barrage. Reiko waved her wand in a circle as six blue lights appeared around her. She pulled her arm back thrusted her wand forward as the six lights launched themselves into Porky and bursting. A -30 Combo 6x appeared over his head. Reiko retreated as Twilight took her spot. "Ok so how do I do this?" asked Twilight. "Select fight and choose your option from there!" said Fandom. Twilight did as she was told and selected fight. She was also given only one option. Magic Blast Twilight pointed her horn at Porky and began charging only to find that this time around, it much easier to charge up an attack when normally it was pretty difficult. Twilight used Magic Blast. Twilight thrusted her horn forward as a blast of purple energy struck Porky in the chest. A -20 appeared over his head. "Did I do it?" asked Twilight. "Yeah, now switch out with me!" answered Fandom. Twilight quickly moved back as Fandom took her place. Another text box appeared before them. Player Turn Over Enemy Turn. Porky stepped forward and put two of his claws above his head as an electrifying orb appeared and shot out striking Fandom. A -50 appeared over his head as his HP bar shot down to half leaving it in the yellow range. "Half of my HP!?" yelped Fandom. Another text box appeared. Enemy Turn End Player Turn. "Alright that's how you wanna play it," growled Fandom. Cross Boomerang. Fandom lifted his two crosses and aimed. Fandom used Cross Boomerang The attack struck Porky four times as a -20 Combo 4x appeared over his head. Reiko switched out with Fandom and repeated the procedure. Sword Strike, Burst Barrage. "Eat this!" exclaimed Reiko. Reiko used Burst Barrage The six lights struck Porky as a -30 Combo 6x appeared over his head. This time though, electricity ran up and down his body as another text box appeared. Porky is Paralyzed. "Sweet I got the paralysis effect on him!" "I guess that leaves him immobilized?" suggested Twilight. "Well what else could it be?" asked Fandom. Twilight shrugged as she swapped out with Reiko. Magic Blast Twilight pointed her horn at Porky as she began charging her attack. Twilight used Magic Blast. This time when the attack landed a -40 appeared over his head. "Wait why'd that do more?" asked Twilight. Her question was answered as another text box appeared. Double Damage Due to Status Effect. "Oh," Twilight swapped out with Fandom as another text box appeared. Porky is Paralyzed and can't move. "Haha score!" beamed Fandom. Cross Boomerang Fandom used Cross Boomerang. A -20 Combo 4x appeared over his head. "How do you like that Pork Chop!?" mocked Fandom. It was at this point that he knew, he fucked up. Porky suddenly began stomping it's six legs and let out an angry screech as red aura burst out of his body. Another text box appeared. Porky is angry, attack power doubled "Oh shit," Fandom cursed. "We'll have to clean this up quick," said Reiko switching out. Sword Strike, Burst Barrage Reiko used Burst Barrage. Reiko thrusted her wand forward as Porky was struck by more blue lights. -30 Combo 6x appeared over his head. Reiko retreated as Twilight took her place. Magic Blast Twilight used Magic Blast The purple energy struck Porky this time as a -60 appeared over his head. "Now what?" asked Twilight. This time text boxes appeared. Double Damage Due to Status Effect Critical Hit!. "Can this get any better?" Twilight asked. She swapped out with Fandom as a third text box appeared. Porky is Paralyzed. "Thank god," sighed Fandom. At that moment the electricity covering Porky disappeared as another text box appeared. Porky is cured of Paralysis "Fuck," cursed Fandom "You had to move you're big mouth didn't you?" Reiko asked as she face palmed herself. A bead of sweat rolled down Fandom's forehead as he selected the fight option. Cross Boomerang Fandom used Cross Boomerang. This time when the crosses were coming back, a loud screech rang out as the second cross struck Porky. A -100 Combo 4x appeared over his head. "Critical Hit?" Fandom suggested. Sure enough another text box appeared. Critical Hit!. "Pray to god you'll paralyze him again," said Fandom as he switched out. "Can't make promises," said Reiko. Sword Strike, Burst Barrage. Reiko used Burst Barrage. The six blue lights struck Porky cracking his glass case. -30 Combo 6x. As the fourth light struck Porky, the environment froze for a split second and started moving again followed by Porky's screech. The three watched as Porky flipped onto his head. A +1,000 appeared over their heads followed by a catchy jingle and three text boxes appearing in front of them. CONGRATULATIONS! Fandom Lvl: 4 Atk: 18 Def: 18 HP: 180/180, HP fully restored!

The two turned around to see the bottom of the cages open as Cadence, Shining Armor, and Thorax slowly descended to the ground. "Twilight!" Cadence exclaimed. Excited, twilight ran over to her and Shining and jumped into their hooves. Smiling, Fandom flicked his hand upward as he pulled up the menu. He selected Party Members as four slots appeared. The first three slots had been taken up him, Reiko, and Twilight but the fourth and final slot was still empty.

"You must be Fandom, we want to thank you for your hard work," said Cadence. "Oh no it may have been a little difficult but we managed to do it," said Fandom. "We heard everything from Twilight, you're going to save our world right?" asked Shining Armor. "In that case we ask that you head over to Canterlot next," "They're having the same problem as here right?" asked Reiko. "Yes, we know you just finished a tough battle with that thing so we hate to ask you to do anymore work for us," said Cadence. "Hey no worries, we're just what we can," said Fandom. "Thank you, surely you won't have too much trouble if you just level up," said Cadence. "I would like to thank you as well," said Thorax. "No problem," said Reiko. "I know the way to Canterlot," said Twilight. "If you're ready then we can head out," "We're ready anytime," said Fandom. With that the three said their goodbyes with Cadence, Shining Armor, and Thorax and prepared their trip to Canterlot. Would you like to save your adventure? Yes No Saving Progress Saved
