The Game Players

by GamePlayer64


Chapter 21

Game Life was on tablet that he bought with the money he collected from that attack at Fancy’s manor, along with some new and classic games like Sega Genesis and Nintendo 64.

Gamer's Log #2
“Okay. So after selling some weapons, armor and accessories that were worthless for The Game Players and their monsters. Miss Beauty bought them as she became our buyer and supplier to sell in the Abyss to prevent any attention towards the Game Players. Game managed to buy some things on the Abyss; a badass bracelet that increases his strength and power by 50% for $30,000, a book that can teaching how to infuse magic into weapons by what magic he knows for $500,000 and a ring that can bring a mana barrier automatically when attack by a magic attack for $30,000.

We all planned to make use of what we know in gaming experiences for our Monster Farms, we constructed a blacksmith's forge in my farm since Fancy's Farm is a hotel resort, Exo's is literally a Greek Colosseum, Large is an actual farm, Dark is a the physical world between heaven and hell, Tunes' is a island in a endless ocean and Sharp's is a military base.

We all agree to gather food, clothing, blankets and fresh water for our monsters. We even got permission to use Exo's only place where her family owns after their... unfortunate downfall; the Canterlot Junkyard since we always wonder why a place like Canterlot have a large junkyard? My best bet is that their all lousy people and don't care what they throw out. We manage to create some new building in some of our MFs; a Blacksmith shop in mine, training dummies in Exo's, a garden for flowers in Large which made Seedling very happy. Everyone's monsters were a bit nervous and didn't trust others until we all told them that their allies. Permafrost was the biggest attraction to the everyone, I do mean biggest. She was big as a tree and she was wearing clothing, Diablo explained that he crafted her clothing from the loot from the Woolly Mammoth. The pelt of the mammoth was used to give Permafrost the clothing of a female barbarian and undergarments of a present day woman, made from spider silk since I accidentally dropped my phone; it’s a good thing that none of my apps were deleted.

We raised our ‘Observe’ skill to discover more details of our monsters and ourselves. I @#$*ing hate it, I have some history that I want to bury. We even gather some materials in High I.Q.’s Metal I.D. for some future things we’re building, like cannons or bullets for Sharp and defenses for our homes for the future. We manage to collect some metals in ore forms and raw uncut; copper, tin, steel, sliver, even gold that we had to stop Exo from stealing since the cops might have a good reason to arrest her. Vivian made good work out of the ores and turned them into bars and Blackberry even help secreting black liquid metal like Black Oxide. We agree to meet up after school for a private meeting since Exo enjoyed the largest Meat Locker that Vivian built and Permafrost supplied it with fresh ice.

All is left to do is the stupid Fall Formal Dance and see Sunset win again. I want this week to be over now.
Game Life.

Game Life was walking to the school. "Great. Another day, another school day. Why we even bother going to that dance. Oh well at least Exo can opened the lock to our club. As long as Lord Jackass stop harassing us but that’s Impossible. I wish this school change a bit.”

“*SCREAMING IN TERROR*” Game heard some screaming from girl but ignored it.

“I’m betting it’s ‘I got a pimple on my nose’ or some shit. Looks aren’t everything. It’s not Rarity since she complains about everything that’s not beautiful. The only games she plays are those fashion games but no way the Game Players will touch them... unless we got a fashion gamer.” Game Life made it the school to witness a purple girl he never seen before, walking on all four with a dog on her back. "O...k..." She looked at me, smiled nervously as she stood up as she wobbled like a baby and headed to the school. "Who the hell is that girl? Let's see her stats.

<Alicorn Princess of Friendship> LV43 Twilight Sparkle
<Living Mailbox> LV8 Spike

("What the @#$%?") Game narrow his eyes at them

Twilight Sparkle was originally a unicorn before she discover the true magic of friendship as the Element of Magic to transform her into an Alicorn. She originally spend her childhood reading books and living in a library. She never like the idea of making friends when assigned by Princess Celestia but after discovering the Elements of Harmony, her view on friends change. She’s also a awful dancer.

Spike is a baby dragon that was hatched by Twilight Sparkle. He was assign as Twilight's assistant by Princess Celestia herself. He has magic fire to send letters to however’s address. Spike also has a huge crush on Rarity who is obviously to him crushing on her.

“O...k... What is going on with the world… I mean besides with the Abyss. If she has ‘Princess Celestia's on her profile… than she must not be from our world… or universe. I'll get I.Q. and Death to create some miniature drone to gather some info on her.” Wonder Game Life as he walked away to his class. "I also better asked Principal C & VP Luna for that program.


Fancy was drawing some ideas for her to learn. “Maybe I could learn wind magic… I could make myself a bit lighter. I could buy some materials for a new magical crossbow.” Fancy was walking without paying attention as she knocked down Rarity, Trixie and Derpy. Fancy looked down “Oops. Sorry.”

They gotten up and clean off the dust on their skirts as Trixie looked angry “What the hell is wrong with you?! You knocked Trixie down for no reason!” Fancy looked down.

“Sorry. I was in a good mood.” Fancy apologize as she helped Rarity, Trixie and Derpy.

“Please darling. Tell us why you weren’t paying attention?” Fancy turned red and twirled her hair.

“At the weekend; Game Life and I… are now official.” Trixie, Rarity and Derpy paused and squeal as they hugged Fancy.

“We’re so proud of you!” Said Derpy.

“Trixie always knew you and he be a couple in gaming and life!” cheered Trixie.

“I will proudly make a dress for you for the Fall Formal!” Said Rarity as they waved goodbye to her as she smiled.

“I'm happy that the girls here are happy for us, but I won’t like the Formal.” She walked towards the door to the gym to see a purple girl with Pinkie Pie, but she was writing with a pen with her teeth. Okay… that’s super weird. Must be a new girl?” Said Fancy as she went to find the other gamers.


Large was walking through the hallway as he was eating a bag filled with fresh baked bread. “My hobgoblins are the best farmers in the MF. And I must thank Fancy’s Dwarf Vivian for making that oven and Game to each his monsters and mine to bake this bread.” He took another bite and blushed happily “This hot chocolate filled bread is the best idea that Game thought of. Thank the heavens that Fancy got me some cocoa beans seeds from her mother’s greenhouse.” He was walking to see a purple kid trying to buck the vending machine like a donkey. “Uh…”

“Ahem.” The purple girl looked up to see Trixie. “The Great and Powerful TRIXIE… needs her peanut butter crackers.” She pulled out a coin, put it in the vending machine and got her snack “Waa-la!” She walked away as Large tapped her on the shoulder “Yes?”

“Who’s the new girl?” He asked.

“Never seen her in my life. Must be a new girl?” answer Trixie.

“She’ll never survive when she meets Sunset.” Said Large as she nodded.

“Can I have some of your bread?” She asked as Large grabbed one from his bag and gave it to her.

“Try Game’s Peanut butter and hot chocolate filling bread.” He said as Trixie grabbed one, took a bite out of it and smile.

“I swear that your friend’s cooking is getting more delicious.” Said Trixie as she temporary dropped her stage act as Large nodded and left for class.


Death Alchemist was in the library on his personal laptop as he was creating some blueprints of some inventions of his own ideas. I.Q. walked in as he appeared from thin air. “Don't do that, you bastard.”

“I apologize but I had a good reason.” Said I.Q. as he pulled a chair

“Explain, please.”

“I have managed to gather some new spell books along with some worthless crap.” I.Q. pulled some sheets of paper. “If memory serves; Exo and Large did explain they gather paper. Perhaps we can copy a spell of what we absorbed into our brains and sell it on the Abyss Auction… mostly common spells we know.” Death raise his brow and nod at I.Q.’s idea.

“I can see that but tell me what kind of books you manage to gather?” I.Q. pulled out his phone and showed the photos he took with drawn words that showed what it is.”

“Let’s see… 2 books on earth magic, 2 books on fire magic, 2 books on water magic, a book on wind magic, a book on Plant magic, an blank book that can copy a spell you know into it, a glove of the Book Mage that can increase Intelligence by 30 and gives the wearer the ability to used paper magic. Paper Magic?” question Death.

“I failed to understand it myself, even the Observe skill was a bit confusing until I recall that anime version of the Thunder Cats we watched at Fancy’s manor for that anime binge watching party.” Said I.Q. as Death remembered what he was talking about.

“Oh… that episode with the pissed off forest guardian whose trees were constantly being chopped down and use paper to fight. I think Tunes would be better to use this.”

“Also, she might be like Kubo but her version.” Death nodded as he sees a girl who he'd never seen before

“Who the hell is she?” said Death as I.Q. turned around to see.

“Never seen her not any record of a new student?” She began whacking her computer. “Awkward.”

“Let's leave.” I.Q. pulled his brother’s chair and push him out of the library.


Sharp was in her Art class, finishing her assignment. “Very good Miss Sharp.” She looks up.

“Thank you, Mr. Crazy Paint.”

“Feel free to draw or paint whatever you want until the next bell. Sharp nodded as she drew some designs of pistols and blasters.

“I wonder if Vivian can have my guns upgraded to create more damage or a power up shot?” Sharp flipped through her notepad to add some color. “I wonder if I can replicate the creation of the RYNO, Sharp Shooter Edition?” The bell rang as Sharp gathered her notepad and walked out of the room until she saw a purple teenager walking towards Fluttershy with a dog.

“FLUTTERSHY!” yelled the purple teenager which confused Sharp.

(“Huh? Does Fluttershy know her?”)

A short talk later

“Thank you!” said the purple teenager as she left. Sharp walked to Shy.

Hey Shy.” She jumped out of fear and looked down.

“Oh… hello Sharp.”

“Who was that girl, you were talking to?” Asked Sharp as Fluttershy tilted her head.

“I… don’t know myself. I don’t even know her, but she knew my name.” Sharp looked at her and pulled out a wooden bat.

“You might need this.” Fluttershy looked confused “You don’t know what kind of stalkers there are?” She said as she walked away.


“Lunch… the only time we don’t get harassed by Strict Authority.” Said Tunes as she was eating some of the meat that Game turned to ground meat into a burger. “Game was right. This meat is delicious.” She saw her pals heading towards her except for Dark Speed since he goes to the cafeteria when he feels like it and sat down.

“Hey Tunes.” Said Exo as they joined her.

“Hey.”

“So… did anyone heard and seen the mysterious weird purple girl?” asked Game. They nodded except for Tunes who looked confused.

“What purple girl? You have to be specific and not racist.” Said Tunes.

“Uh… her skin is… basic purple, has long hair with bangs, a dog she brought and… a six pointed star.” Said Game as Tunes looked around and saw her eating a bowl of salad like a dog.

“Oh… that’s why she’s weird?”.

“That is not the only thing that’s weird.” Said Game as they looked at him “I also used observe on her and you wouldn’t believe me.”

“We have see your powers and what you do. So, enlighten us.” Said I.Q.

“She’s not human.” They raised their brows. “And the dog’s not even a dog but an infant dragon.” The Gamers looked at the purple girl and checked her stats and were surprised by the info.

“Oh… boy.” Said Fancy.

“Dark Speed will absolutely hate that this school refuses to cancel the Formal.” Said Death as they nodded.


The darkest parts of the school are where no sane student or teacher will go to as Dark Speed and some others will go to relax and stay away from Sunset and Strict Authority. “Dark Speed hates the Formal.” A lot of angry groans from other students agree with him. “Dark Speed wishes the demons of the underworld will accept Dark Speed's immortal soul to cancel it.” The students agreed with him until the ceiling lights turned on through the entire hallway. They screamed in horror and in pain as the light hurt their eyes. They see the one teacher they didn’t want to see, Strict Authority.

“It’s time for your classes! Now leave this hall!” they all groaned unhappily as they walked out of their place to relax.

“Dark Speed despises him so much.” Said Dark Speed said quietly. Dark Speed walked out of the earlier dark hallway. “Dark Speed hates this day. 3 more nights and 2 days will be the Formal. Dark Speed will hate it no matter what.” He walked as he saw a female he had never seen in this school with a canine. “Hmmm?”

“All we have do is remind them of how good friends they are.” Spoke the canine.

“Hmmm?” Dark Speed sunk into his own shadow.

“I know Spike. But I need to win the Fall Formal to get back my Element of Harmony.” They left the hallway as Dark Speed appear from his shadow and was disgusted.

“Friendship, Harmony. Dark Speed despises anything that is only good. Without darkness to balance that garbage, that girl… or should I say princess, will meet the evils within Harmony.” Dark Speed left the hallway.


After school, Game Life and the Game Players decide to go to the closed Arcade that IQ and Death found. “I missed this place when it was the only place where everyone was cool and happy that Sunset loses easily.” Said Game Life as Exo unlocked the door. They looked to see that dust covered every machine.

“This is a Gamer's worst nightmare to see.” Said Tough as she looked at a Mortal Kombat game. “I remember beating up thug and crooks for cash to play these games.”

“And now look at this place. Abandon by its owner and forgotten by its gamers. What a sad sight.” Said Death as Fancy looked at the place.

“You know… this area is for sale. I could buy this area.” They looked at her and smile but she didn’t “I have to use our own money, but I don’t know if we have enough.” They looked at their money reserves and their new accounts through their phones and shook their heads.

“We need to sell some stuff, but I doubt we want to sell the stuff we like.” Said Sharp as Tough put dome thought into it.

“I got it!” They looked at her “I’ll go to that Book ID in the school along with 2 volunteers who want to join me to slaughter some living books for some spell books. We’ll sell any duplicate book we collect to Miss Beauty and High Stocks.” They nodded at the idea.

“I’ll go.” Said Sharp.

“Dark Speed agrees to join but we shall go at night.” They nodded as they left the old Arcade.

“Wait!” They looked at Game Life “I want to give you guys the chance to set some difficulties on your IDs. So, you won’t need me for some IDs.” Game rubbed his hands together “And this time, I won’t get a headache, who’s first?” They looked at each other and pushed each other to get a chance but Dark Speed was smart to go around the fight and see as Game place his hands-on Dark’s head as they glowed. “Not surprising that you go around the problems.”

“Dark Speed hates little obsessions.”

“But this one can make monsters, easy or hard to fight.”

“…”

“I guess it’s not a big deal for you.” The power disappeared as Dark Speed examined his ID Create skill.

“Next.”

AFTER DARK

Sharp and Dark were following Exo as she was sneaking around as they were avoiding those annoying truant officers. They made it to the school and hid in a bush “O.K. we’re here. If memory serves; any destruction in an Instant Dungeon does not affect the actual area. We'll enter the ID from the outside and break into the library to kill those damn living books. Let’s try Hard mode for this dungeon, if it’s too much for us, we escape like pussies.” Dark Speed walked around as he waved them that he found the edge. A screen appeared as they looked at it.

[An entrance to I.D. - Level: your decision]
An Book I.D. is found.
Would you like to enter? Accept: Yes Deny: No

“Yes. Hard mode.” Said Exo as they looked behind them that the area was blank like a clean sheet of paper.

“This is new. This never happen when I made an ID with Tunes.”

“Perhaps that IDs created by the gathering thoughts of people are different from anyone who create an ID.” Said Dark Speed as Exo wore her gauntlet and smashed the window open, clear away the glass shards.

“Come on!” They all climbed in as the library was still normal. “Remember… the enemies are somewhere in the shelves. Shaking books mean brain eating books.” Dark and Sharp nodded as the book shelves blew up as three giant size books appeared; one with an explosion on the cover, the second one had a human face looking dramatic on the cover and the last one had a happy mask and sad mask on the cover.

“Shit! Observe!”

Giant Living Adventure Book LV43
A book that manifest from the endless excitement of actions of the students have read books with adventure genre.

Giant Living Drama Book LV40
A book that manifest from the endless surprises of dramas of students have read books with drama genre.

Giant Living Tragedy Book LV42
A book that manifest from the endless sadness of tragedies of students have read books with tragedy genre.

“Oh shit.” Said Exo as the Adventure Book opened as a Gatling gun appeared.

“A classic Army Vulcan M134-A2 Gatling Airsoft Minigun!?” The gun fired at them as Dark Speed made a barrier appeared around them as the bullets keep on hitting the shield.

“DO SOMETHING!!! DARK’S MP IS DRAINING RAPIDLY!!!” He screams angrily as Exo and Sharp snapped out of their tranced.

“Sorry!” they yelled as they both jumped as Exo attack the book with the gun as Sharp unleash a rapid barrage of magic bullets at the Tragic Book as Dark unleashed a darkness bind on the Drama book as he pulled out his scythe and slashed out its pages, Exo grabbed the gun and ripped it out of the book and used the weapon against the living book as Sharp key to kept on shooting as the books was filled with holes as it fell.

“Oh, thank god.” Said Sharp as Exo was bashing the book with the gun as it broke, and Dark sliced the book in half as it landed on the ground. They were panting as Exo was sweating like a Polar Bear on a summer vacation.

“This… was a bad idea.” She said as the book corpses turned to smog as they dropped some loot.

“Dark…” Said Sharp “Perhaps we could leave and go on a Normal setting?” Dark Speed shut his eyes and nodded

“Dark Speed does not what to be killed by a book.” They grabbed the loot and escape the ID. “We should be in a large group for ID on the hard setting.” They nodded as Exo saw the purple girl sleeping in the library with her dog.

“She’s sleeping here? Freak.” They enter the ID as she was left where she was.

30 minutes later

Exo, Sharp and Dark were separating the loot they gather near the outside stage. Dark Speed was examining the loot “Okay… so, from we gather from those giant books; we got a Phantom Punch Skill Book, a Quick Speed Evasion Skill Book, a Mask of Tragedy, A Triple Shot Skill Book and A golden wine chalice of the Royals?” Exo looked at the gold chalice.

Golden Wine Chalice of the Royals – A Golden chalice owned by royal blood. This chalice will increase drunkenness by 20%

Exo smirked “I know a club where my aunt will enjoy for her customers.”

“PG-13! Is that too much to ask!?” Said Sharp angerly.

“I never said what kind of club.” Sharp narrowed her eyes at her.

“Fine… just please… say it when I’m not with you.” Dark Speed looked behind him as an actual skeleton walked in.

“No guards nearby.” It shook its head “Dismiss.” The Skeleton fell apart into a pile and vanish.

“I’m still shocked by the walking skeleton you summon.” Said Exo.

“Focus!” Yelled Sharp as she looked in the trash bag “Okay, we gotten 4 Mind-Reader Books, 6 Knife Books Vol 1, 5 Illusion Books, Fist Books Vol 1, 500 Sheets of Paper, 7 Blank Spell Books, a Book Shield and a Staff of Books. We’ll sell the extras except the staff and shield for defensive reasons and a weapon for one of our monsters.” They grabbed some of the new loot they like; Sharp took the Triple Shot book, Exo took the Phantom Punch book & chalice and Dark took the mask

“We’ll meet with the other tomorrow at the clubroom during lunch.” Dark Speed threw the bag in his inventory and left as Exo had to be with Sharp because of the community. Dark Speed looked at the info on the latest items they collected.

Mask of Tragedy – A mask that represent tragedy. When the user wears this mask, it will unleash a tragic aura that lowers 25% of the enemies’ magic power
