//------------------------------// // Chapter 18: The maze, part one.* // Story: The Legend of Sunrise Freezer, First Arc: Make peace with the past // by Justafanfictioner //------------------------------// [The weekend passed, during when Sunrise had let his friends take a last break before the beginning of their training. During these two days, the Main 7 acknowledge on which order they will be trained this week: Sunset Shimmer, Monday, Fluttershy, Tuesday and Pinkie Pie, Wednesday. Applejack, Thursday, Rarity, Friday, Twilight Sparkle, Saturday and Rainbow Dash, Sunday.] But now, today was Monday, meaning that Sunset will begin today to train with Sunrise, who chose to start right after the school. Eventually, when the school finish, she join Sunrise at his chamber. “I am here, Sunrise, she said. So, what will my training be about?” “Sit down and i will explain to you everything you need to know, he said. I took the last 2 days who passed to analyze your geodes and you know what? I discovered a lot about them you will be surprised to know.” “I am so excited to know what you discovered about my geode!!!” she said. “I will prevent you, they are of psychic nature, he said. This is the list of the power you will get trough your training: Telepathy, mind control, creating illusions, hypnosis, being able to see in the Future, divination, telekinesis, switching two or more living being minds and finally, brainwashing peoples.” “Cool, she said. But that seem a lot at the same time...” “But before i awaken your geode, he said. You will have to prove me you are strong-willed enough for it. This is what your training will be about: Pushing both your mental and emotional resistance to their limit. But you’ll see what you will have to do once we get in that dimension.” Sunrise open the portal and him and Sunset pass trough it. The dimension they arrive in was totally white (like a white room but extended at the infinite) “What do we do in there? She said. There is literally nothing in this dimension!!” “This is because it work like a virtual reality chamber, he explain. I accidentally discovered that dimension 2000 years ago and quickly acknowledge it’s purpose. Ironically, i didn’t have the time to use it because i was soon after sealed in a talisman.” “Interesting, said Sunset. Is this like a simulator?” “More like a video game, But that’s not important, he said. I can create any type of environment possible in it: From an alien planet to a post apocalyptic world and even recreate the features of other dimensions, like Equestria.” Sunrise change the white background and turn it into a dark, creepy and gigantic maze with huge walls. Sunset start to panicking. “I know this is terrifying, said Sunrise. I designed this maze with a lot of puzzles, traps and challenges you will have to get trough. That maze is the perfect way to test your mental/emotional capacities. You can’t get out of there until you reach the center of the maze, where your awakened geode will be. I will not do anything to help you, so you have to do it on your own and i will follow your progress live once i’ll get out of here.” Sunrise give to Sunset a big bag and a kiss on the mouth. “I know you will succeed, Sunset, he said. Oh, a last thing you have to remember before i let you alone: That bag will be your most precious item.” “Thank you, Sunrise, but what that’s mean?” said Sunset. Sunrise was already gone, but he left a book behind. She take it and open it to realize it was a notebook for her. “Hey!! Where is the pencil? How will i wrote in this book without one?!” she said. A mini portal appear and Sunset receive a pencil in the face, followed by a “I’m sorry” from Sunrise. She take it to put it in her pocket and look around. ”Why i have the feeling that place look familiar to me?” she said to herself. She take the stock Sunrise left for her survival, then begin to walk during many hours, hoping to quickly end that. But she is stopped by a wall with inscriptions on it and a Fire ruby inlaid in it “Hum, that look like some kind of ancient symbols, she said. That must be one of the puzzles i have to solve if i want to continue.” A wall suddenly appear about 30 meters behind her, preventing her to go back to get her provisions. “Oh great, she said. Now i am trapped between two walls and didn’t bring my provisions, what could be worse?” The wall begin to move in her direction, very, very slowly. “Are you kidding me?! She said out loud. At the speed that wall move in my direction and with the distance between us...That mean I have less than 20 hours before i die!” [20 hours later] Sunset was still trying to find the way to solve the puzzle. But she could not and now, the wall was at 10 centimeters of ending her life. “How could you, Sunrise, she thought, before the wall crush her. Why?” She open the eyes and see she was back at the enter of the maze, in perfect condition. “How is that possible, she thought. That wall crushed me, i felt an horrible pain...Did Sunrise save me at the last second?” A piece of paper appear from a rift and she immediately take it. A message was wrote on it: «I didn’t save you, you actually died. How are you alive? Just remember what i said after you said: Is this like a simulator?» ”If i remember, she thought, his words were: «More like a video game»” She have a smile, realizing that Sunrise just make her biggest dream become a reality. But before, she wanted to be sure of that by walking away and then use a her pocket knife to stab herself. She immediately reappear at the same spot that the first time she turn her head and see another body, her body, naked and stabbed. She touch it and at her surprise, the body was real. ”I just re-spawned...Like in a real video game!! She thought. This is a dream become true, a fantasy i thought i could never fulfill!” She take a few minutes to bury her corpse after and return to the same place she was killed the first time. She throw out when she see her body totally destroyed and mashed against the wall and the ground. “I should have known, said the girl, disgusted by the smell. Alright, take 2!” She remember the bag and what Sunrise said: «The bag will be your most precious item». “Of course, there is always items in video games!! Said Sunset. Let’s see what i can find in that bag.” She put her hand in the bag and put out a huge bomb with a button to detonate it. “That will do the job” she said. She put the sticky bomb against the wall, walk away from it and push the button of the detonator, opening a passage. “Finally!!! Said the girl. Now i can continue my way!!” She cross the wreckage and continue to walk in the maze. Everything is fine for a while, eating some provisions and take many breaks until another problem show up. “Sure, she said. This is not a true video game if there is no lava in it” She first look around, searching for a bridge or something able to make her pass that lake of lava. She don’t find any and put her hand in the bag to see if something could help. She pull out a book and read the title: “The Universal Translator book toTranslate any language in English. Is this a joke!? I could used that from the beginning!” She look at the pit of lava. “Oh, screw it, thought Sunset. I have no choice” She jump in the lava and reappear at the enter of the maze. She return to the pit of lava and like she expected, the wall reappeared. This time, Sunset use the book to translate the symbols in her language and they were saying: «If you want to reach that door, you just have to take the Ruby of Fire and use it to resist to the lava.» “I am so stupid!!!! She said. Why i didn’t take it in the first place?” She take the ruby and put it in her pocket and when she arrive at the pit of lava, she put it out. “I hope that ruby will protect me” said Sunset. She jump in the pit and instead of sinking, she was standing at the surface like if that was a solid floor. “Cool!!!” she said. Sunset finally pass the pit of lava and continue on her way. 4 hours later, she is stopped by another problem. “Holy fucking shit!!! She said. This is a Minotaur!!” The monster was blocking the access to the path she had to take. ”He is probably guarding the path, she thought. How will i pass him?” She walk in direction of the Minotaur and decide to talk to him. “Uh...Hi, Mr. The Minotaur, she said. Can you let me pass, please?” The beast turn his head in her direction. “No, he said. Our race are the guardians of the mazes and we have the duty to protect them” She look in her bag to see if something could help her to solve this problem and she find nothing. “Hum, Maybe i can bribe him to let me pass, she thought. But with what? What are their weaknesses?” She notice the monster was looking at her with interest. ”He is half human, half bull, she thought. Maybe i am exciting him? Only one way to be sure...” She strip-off in front of the Minotaur, who get an erection who tear his pants. Sunset is terrified by the size of his cock. “You seem really excited by me, she said. Because your...hum...Big dick is hard as a rock.” “I...This is because i didn’t see any cows or humans for a while” said the Minotaur. “Let’s make a deal, she said. I will let you do anything with me until you are satisfied and you let me continue my way, are you accepting?” The Minotaur is divided between his morality, who tell him to resist and his sexual instinct, who tell him to breed. After a intense fight, his primal instincts finally take over his mind. He take Sunset by her hips and start to breed with her “I suppose that mean you accept the deal...she said. You won’t regret it, i promise” The Minotaur enchain the positions and the holes, giving many orgasms to Sunset and to himself. After 40 longs minutes, the monster was satisfied, let her go and start to sleep. “I won’t do that again, she said. My body won’t survive to another Minotaur cock” She was walking slowly due to the pain caused by the Minotaur, in her two holes. But at least, the path was clear for her. Meanwhile, in the world of E.G. “Holy shit, said Sunrise. Did i really watched THAT?” Him and the main 6, except Fluttershy, were all shocked by what they just saw. “She is so lucky” said Fluttershy. Everyone look at her with weird faces. “What? Everyone have their fantasies!” she said.
