Today was the day. It was rumored that it would come. The internet, the real world, maybe even other worlds, were all waiting for this one moment. It was the moment where almost all of YouTubes greatest comedy stars got together on one livestream to game. The game? Team Fortress 2. The time was 8:30 PM, EST. The chat was ablaze with fans of all the different characters here to put on a show for them all. And at the small period of time where the chat went completely silent, the stream began. The chat roared as each star began their introductions.
Silence. Where were the introductions? There was no movement on any of the facecams. Then it became audible. It wasn't a sound any fan had expected to hear, even from these ponies. It was the sound of a repetitive drum beat, looping by the sound of it. Then somebody in the chat began to shout what the beat was from. That's when the beat stopped and PewDiePie jumped onto his facecam, accompanied by Tobuscus. And they began to sing in perfect coordination.
"And so I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed," PewDie said in a perfectly on pitch falsetto voice, "Just to get it all out, what's in my head and I!" Toby declared, finishing the line as well as the next as he sang, "I'm feeling.. A bit peculiar..!" And it was then that Nova himself burst into life, blaring the next lines over his mic with pride. "And so I wake in the morning and I step outside, and I take a deep breath, and I get real high and I scream from the top of my lungs: WHAS GOIN' ON?!"
"Sing along everybody!" a voice belonging only to Simon said, as it was now that the turn taking was fairly eliminated, and every single person who wasn't on the cam jumped into view, singing with all others in the following words, "And I said; HEYEAYEAYEAYEEA~ HEYEAYEAYEAYEA..! I SAID HEY." they all sang in perfect unison, "WHAS GOIN' ON?!" To the utter enjoyment of all their viewers, they repeated the section of the song over again as it was written before continuing with the famed Egoraptor speaking in a near growl type voice, "And he triiees..!" With this, PewDie replied as if it were a conversation, "Oh my GOD do I try.." As in the beginning of the song, Tobuscus shared the lines with PewDie, and it was his turn now. "I try all the time.. In this institution..!"
The chat was now flooded with viewers typing the lyrics, almost as if singing along. Egoraptor, now in a nasally loud voice, chimed in once again, "Aaand he prays!" once again provoking a reply-resembling line from PewDie. "Oh my GOD do I pray!" Tobuscus, "I pray every single day!" Egoraptor decided then to throw in a, "MYAH!~" as PewDie and Toby sang in unison once more before the chorus, "FOR REVOLUTION!!" Nova, once again, turned himself into the nutty announcer and started the chorus for everybody, "And I said;" Once again, everybody began to sing together. Everyone but Simon and Lewis. After a little bit of the chorus had passed, Lewis jumped in with a womanly sounding, "Doooon't worryyyy nooooow~" afterwards being accompanied by a husky sounding Simon and a harmonizing Nova on the lines of, "Just keep it inside~ Learn how to hiiiide your feeeeliiiings~"
By now though, it was near the end of the song, and everybody was simply adlibing and messing with each other. The chat was exploding with messages, messages like 'XD THAT WAS AWESOME' and 'LOL LIFE IS COMPLETED'. And then the song ended, its end bringing forth the laughter of every great man in the stream. Then the introductions began. Each respective group of ponies or individual person did their introductions, each one receiving a happy text-cheer from the chat.
"Ohh, God, what are we playing?" Simon chuckled slightly, leaning back into his chair comfortably.
"We're playing Team Fortress Two, shouldn't your dwarven memory tell you that?" Lewis joked, Toby interjecting in a factual voice, "Dwarves are diggers, not rememberers, silly!"
"Ok, taking time, I want to blow things up! PewDie want make boom!" PewDie said in a joking tone, making one of his signature faces into his facecam. "Yeah, I honestly haven't played this very much so I'm probably just gonna.. Just mash EVERY SINGLE BUTTON-" Egoraptor shouted, the sound of smashing now audible as his speech became unrecognizable.
"Alright, alright, I'm starting the server, calm down..!" Nova informed the group, a deadpan 'yay' coming from Tobuscus as a few others laughed and chatted. That was when the chat also began to calm down as they waited, and then Nova spoke up once again. "Everyone got the game open and ready?" he asked. The entire group all made their sounds of approval, some being grunts, some being a mock salute.
"Good! The server shall be up in three.. Two.." Tobuscus drowned out the final number count with an ecstatic "WHHEEEEEE-" which in itself was cut off, as the stream simply stopped. The chat let out its words of confusion as the screen went black. There were no cams. There were no mics. There was no stream.
Meanwhile, in the worlds of all of the comedy stars, something incredibly strange was happening. There were empty chairs where they once were. Their computers were left on and running, despite the stream and all else being completely ended. But it wasn't that they were running that was strange. It was what was on the screens that was odd. There was a 3D seeming vortex of pure colors and shimmering lights. It looked to go on into eternity, despite it being an image on a screen. Aside from the fact that it wasn't an image on a screen. When the amount of pure awesome that was the livestream became linked through a game that has become more epic than ever before, it had created a portal to another world.
A world of ponies.
