//------------------------------// // Among Us Simulator // Story: Among Us with The Equestria Girls // by MASTERMIND360 //------------------------------// Among Us. It is known as a popular game worldwide as billions, billions of people played it. Even the Shadowbolts, Dazzlings, CHS staff, and others are playing it. A month ago, Pinkie Pie had checked out Among Us and sees how fun it is and asked her friends if they can play with her. At first, no one seems interested in this game. Not even Rarity. Who says that playing games on mobile are not a cup of her tea. But knowing Pinkie, they gave Among Us a chance and start playing. Actually, the more they play it, the more fun they're having and the joy they're feeling. Sunset even rage quit for being killed off some many times and it makes Rainbow Dash laughed. After seeing how popular Among Us is so popular, Twilight Sparkle had an awesome idea. She had to miss out on all the fun her friends were having for a whole week for something interesting. Of course, the girls were curious, but every time they asked her, she always says that she'll answer that by Saturday. A full week has passed, Twilight Sparkle had already tested this project by having Micro Chips and his friends as volunteers the day before. Twilight took one hard look at this project with a satisfying look she's giving at it. Now it's time to call her friends to come here right now. After receiving the call from Twilight, they took off from Sugarcube and made their way to Twilight's house. It looks like they're finally getting the answer since today is Saturday. "Now that today is Saturday, Twilight will finally tell us what's going on," Sunset started to say. "She actually missed the news about the new update and the new map!" Rainbow exaggerated. "Plus, I've been meaning to ask her if she can help hack my way into the new map." "That map hasn't functioned well in development, Dash," Applejack told her. Rainbow Dash groaned. "I'd rather wait for the sequel if they ever planned one..." "Who needs Among Us sequel if the first one is so good?" Pinkie Pie asked, hopping like a child. "Even if they do plan a sequel," Sunset added. "It would take months, if not years to make it." "And If I am eager to play this sequel," Fluttershy chimed in. "I don't think I like to wait months or years for it to come." "Yeah, same here," Rainbow added. "You don't rush anything, darling," Rarity told them. "That's how I make my work properly. Using the power of patience." "Tell that to the person who throws a tantrum like a baby every time she gets killed off by the imposters!" Rainbow told her, referring to Sunset's rage quit moments, making Sunset blushed. "Well, I don't see you doing a good job being an imposter, Rainbow Dash," Sunset reminded her. "You even look sus when you're exaggerating some claims." "Hey," Rainbow objected. "I don't want to lose you know, plus last round, I'm not even the imposter but none of you believe me!" "Just like Sunset said, Sugarcube," Applejack told her. "You seem sus when you're exaggerating." They stop their conversation when they finally arrived at Twilight's house. Twilight opened the door and sees her friends and she was greeted by smiles and greetings. "Glad you all make it," Twilight spoke as she joined the group. "Sorry about last week, I've been doing something." "Yes, we know," Rainbow replied bluntly. "In fact, you missed the news about the update and the new map!" "Do we even have the time for that?" AJ asked her annoyed. "I'm aware of that, Rainbow," Twilight answered. "But that's not what I called you all here for. Follow me." She guides her friends to the garage door where she normally does her science stuff here ever since the Friendship Games. "So what's in that garage, Twilight?" Sunset asked. "Before I tell you," Twilight started to explain. "I wanted to say that since Among Us is becoming popular these days and a lot of people around the world are playing it. So.... this gave me a brilliant idea to make Among Us even more fun so I had to spend a whole week building it. Now that the finishing touch is complete, I had Micro Chips and his friends to volunteer and it's proven to be safe for all users, this thing is a go go!" "Then what is it?" Fluttershy asked her. Twilight lifts the garage door open to reveal something that catches their eyes. It has six big white chairs, and helmets, each of these helmets was connected to a big machine with a big screen by the far back of the inside of the garage. "Friends, I present to you," Twilight introduced her project. "the Among Us Simulator!" This project of hers has blown their flipping minds out. Even Rainbow Dash was gawking at the simulator. They're lost at words and don't know what to say, but the only thing they like about this simulator is that they can play Among Us but in a VR simulator. "So this is what you been up to, Sugarcube?" Applejack asked Twilight and still not taking her eyes off the machine. "Why yes indeed," Twilight replied. "Just like Among Us, we can do tasks, sabotage and kill but in this thing. This thing has three maps I chose; One is CHS, Equestria Land, and Camp Everfree. And just like the game, this thing can determine whether any of us can be the imposter or not. And-" "Yeah, we get the picture," Rainbow interrupted her. "Can we please get on with the simulator?" "Honestly, Rainbow Dash," Rarity scolded her. "It's quite rude to interrupt someone when they're talking!" "That's fine, Rarity," Twilight said. "Now, before we get into it, I just want to-" But she was interrupted when Rainbow Dash took a seat on one of the chairs and puts on the helmet. "I call dibs on this one!" Rainbow bragged. "Now look who's excited!" Pinkie bellowed and took a seat on the chair beside Rainbow Dash and puts on the helmet. "Enough with the talking, Twilight! I want to see how fun this is!" "Oh well," Twilight shrugged and turned to her friends. "I'm sure you all know what you're doing." "You got it, Twi," Sunset agreed as the others nodded. After the girls took their seats and put on the helmets so they'll be inside the simulator once the machine is activated. After settling herself Twilight called out, "Spike! Press the red button!" "You got it, Twilight!" Spike replied and hop on the machine and pressed the red button. So then, the machine started activating, and with their helmets on, they started to feel like their brains are being sucked into the simulator since that's what the machine is doing. Time to Play Among Us. There is 1 Imposter Among Us They opened their eyes and found themselves back in CHS and inside the cafeteria. "Okay," Twilight explained. "Now that we're here, use your map to find your tasks around the school. And we'll come back here whenever a meeting is called." "And remember ya'll!" Applejack warned. "There's just one imposter and she can be really sneaky!" "Sweet!" Let's go!" Pinkie boasted. So the girls scattered around the school to find and get their tasks and also being aware of the imposter. They don't know who it is but they do know that they'll find out eventually. Sunset went to the storage room where her first task was. Her first task was to remove leaves from the vents. The vents were at the lower-left corner and it was stuffed with leaves. "Who puts leaves in vents??" Sunset wondered out loud but didn't complain and finish this task nonetheless. Meanwhile, Rainbow Dash and Applejack were in the computer room, doing the Swip Card task. Rainbow Dash doesn't seem to get this task right no matter how many times they played the game. Applejack finished first and Rainbow Dash just stares at her, shocked at how she's able to do it on the first try. "How can everyone did this the first time?!" Rainbow asked out loud. Twilight was doing the downloading task. Once the download is complete, the last part of this task was at Vice Principal Luna's office. So she navigates her way to the office and went inside to find a tablet laying down on the desk, she picked it up and finished the downloading task. "This is should be easy enough," Fluttershy muttered as she did the 2nd part of the wiring task in the cafeteria. The last part of her wiring task was in Mr. Cranky's classroom. Rainbow Dash was still in the computer room, still struggling with the Swipe Card task. "Just nice and easy," She slowly swipes the card on the laptop, but since it's too slow, it's still invalid. "Oh c'mon!!" She slammed the card on the laptop. "I'd rather find some other tasks to do and come back here later!" She exited the computer room and find some other tasks to finish. She went downstairs and saw some trash scattered on the floor and an empty trash bin up ahead of her. Now, this is her task. "Time to take out the adorable trash!" She picked up the pieces of trash and stuffed them into the trash bin. This task was complete. Meanwhile, Fluttershy had finished her wiring task in Mr. Cranky's classroom. She turned to leave and went left through the hallways. As she walks forward, she saw Rarity's dead body! Gasp at the sight, Fluttershy called out to report the body. Dead Body Reported! Discussed! The girls were gathered around a table in the cafeteria as soon as Fluttershy reported the body. "Rarity's gone..." Fluttershy informed. "Okay, Flutters, what did you see?" AJ asked her. Fluttershy shook her head. "I- I don't think so... but I think I do saw a vent not too far away from the spot where Rarity was killed..." "So maybe the Imposter vented and killed Rarity and vent back in to escape," Sunset clarified. "That's what the Imposters would do," Twilight said. "So is anyone sus?" Everyone else shook their heads in response. "Then I'd say we skip vote," Rainbow declared and the rest follow suit. "Okay, there's still a lot of tasks that needed to be done," Twilight told them. "Rarity, if you're listening to this, it doesn't matter if you're a ghost, you can still do your tasks!" "And remember," Pinkie added. "The big bad Imposter can be one of us but hopefully we'll all get through this together!" So the girls scattered around the school to continue their tasks. Sunset went to the infirmary to do her scan task. What she could tell was Twilight following her and stopped in her tracks. "Twilight, are you following me?" Sunset asked and a bit suspicious. "No, I was just heading my way to the infirmary," Twilight replied. "I have two tasks there; one is the sample task and the scan." "I also have the scan task too," Sunset confirmed. "Okay," Twilight nodded. "guess that's one way to clear each other." They walked to the infirmary together and went inside to do their tasks. Sunset was first to do the scan, after a short bit, the scan proves that she's legit. Twilight steps in next after finishing her sample task after waiting like a minute to finish it, after the scan, they're both proven to be clean now they're able to clear each other. "Looks like we're both clean," Sunset remarked. "Yes, now that we both know we're not imposters, I don't have to be suspicious of you." "Yeah, I was a bit suspicious when you went to the infirmary with me but hey, we're both proven to be legit. I got a task at the gym." "I also got a task on the other side," Twilight replied. "Be careful over there." "I would say the same about you," Sunset smirked. A few moments later, no murder has been happening for a short bit. Which is a bit strange and a bit of sus if you ask them. Rainbow Dash went back to the computer room to finish this dreaded Swipe Card task once and for all. She just has to take it nice and easy, but not too slow or fast. That was unacceptable if she did, but for the first try... She did it! Task Complete! "I DID IT!!" Rainbow cheered, shoving the card to the laptop and pick herself up, and started celebrating while punching the air. This is the first time she ever completes the Swipe Card task, she's so happy that she forgot about Rarity being murdered by the imposter. "What the hay is that noise?" Applejack wondered out loud, she's currently doing her downloading task in the cafeteria. When the download is done, instead of finishing this task, Applejack decided to investigate where the noise came from. It wouldn't hurt if you could investigate for a bit to see who the imposter might be, right? Well, as long as you don't look like you're being sus. Applejack went to the computer room where the noise was, she slowly peeks to find Rainbow Dash as if she was celebrating and boasting about something. Wait, Rarity was killed earlier, then for some reason, Rainbow Dash is celebrating for some unknown reasons. Now This is sus. This seems sus to be very honest. Celebrating over the death of someone, almost sounded like the imposter would do! So Applejack quickly went back to the cafeteria and pressed the red button lying on the table in the center of the cafeteria to call an emergency meeting. Emergency Meeting! All the girls were called back in the cafeteria asking her, "What?" repeatedly. "Applejack, what did you see?" Twilight asked her. "Okay," Applejack explained. "I was doing my downloading task here, then I hear someone celebrating, it came from the computer room. So ah' went there, and saw Rainbow Dash celebrating for something-" "Wait, wait!" Pinkie interrupted her. "You called us here just because someone is celebrating?!" "Think about it!" AJ told her. "Rarity was dead, and then, Rainbow Dash seems to celebrate as if she's celebrating her death. It means that Rainbow must've killed her, then it also means that must've been the imposter!" The girl gasps and looks at Rainbow, who seems frustrated by this. "You're susing me for celebrating?!" Rainbow cried out. "Why would I wanna celebrate my own friends' deaths if I'm being so loyal?!!" "That is if you're the imposter!" AJ retorted. "Now that seems sus," Sunset added. "No!" Rainbow shouted. "You got it all wrong! You all know how I'm very terrible at the Swipe Card task! This is the first time I ever aced it! That's why I'm celebrating! Though that sounds kind of dumb to celebrate for such a thing, I am not the imposter!! I'm telling you! I got a task at the infirmary! It's my scan! I can prove to you I'm legit!" Her friends just stared hard at her. Though Aj's claim seems to be true since she's always honest, but the other hand, Rainbow Dash seems that she's also innocent. There's no telling who the imposter might be, but they could at least give Rainbow a chance to prove herself. If she's lying, then they vote her out. "Okay," Twilight decided but still a bit sus on Rainbow. "We'll see you do the medbay scan, but all of us should be together at all costs so the imposter will have a hard time doing the kill!" So then, the girls stayed together while following Rainbow Dash to the infirmary. To prove that's clean, Rainbow has to do the scan in front of her friends, so they made into the infirmary, Rainbow steps in, but unfortunately, the scan doesn't do its thing so it means that this is not one of her tasks. Rainbow stared nervously at them, so much for proving herself innocent. "Now I know where to put my vote," Twilight declared. "Same here," Fluttershy added. Rainbow began to panic. "No guys, wait!" "Yer' outta here, Dash!" Applejack told her. So then, Pinkie pressed the emergency button and the girls vote off Rainbow Dash. Rainbow Dash was shoved out of the school and fell deep into the deepest pit hole that could've reached the center of the earth. Rainbow Dash is not An Imposter Dang," Sunset muttered. "It's not her." And don't think I'm the imposter," AJ told her. "I've been doing tasks." Now let's not jump to conclusions this time," Twilight said. "We need hard, solid evidence to back up some claims before we vote anyone off." And Rainbow Dash, you can still do tasks even if you're a ghost!" Pinkie called out. "Gee, thanks..." Rainbow sarcastically replied while ghost form but no one can actually hear and saw her. So then, the girls scattered around the school, doing most of the variety of tasks. While Sunset has something else in mind, if they're gonna catch the imposter and win the game, they need to check the whole map like the one in Admin, too bad that none of these classrooms are close to being admin so she might as well check the cameras. Which it's also a good way to catch the imposter, but chances are the imposter might have known where exactly she was and killed her in cameras. But it's a risk she's willing to take. So she went to cameras, and the room consists of a chair, a vent by the far back, tv screens showing each and every one of the rooms and hallways in CHS. Sunset took a seat and inspect what's going through the cameras. In of the screens through the cameras, she sees her friends doing their tasks, she's expecting something big is happening so she'll know who it is. But then, the lights went off. Meaning the imposter has shut off the lights so no one but the imposter can see. And this is a perfect moment for the imposter to kill! "Can somebody fix the lights?" Sunset called out. But before she knew it, she felt strong pair of hands grabbed her neck and snap her neck to death..... Twilight, Fluttershy, and Applejack went downstairs to the basement where the light switch was. "Yer' sure this is where we can turn the lights back on?" AJ asked, carefully walking down the stairs. "I of course I know," Twilight replied. "I'm the one who built this simulator." "I can barely see anything because it's dark," Fluttershy said. So then, they finally made it into the basement and saw the light switch just by the left corner. They walk over to it and flip over the switch but ended up doing it at the same time and repeatedly flipping over the switch. "Alright, let's stop right there." Applejack halt and so does the others. "Why do we need three people to do this at the same time?" "I dunno," Twilight shrugged. "I don't want to look like I'm sus," Fluttershy added. "Okay, I'll do it," AJ then flip the light switch, thus turning the lights back on. "There. Let's head back up and continue our tasks." so they went back upstairs and finish their tasks and Twilight apart ways with the other two since her task was on the other side of the school. And then, Applejack and Fluttershy bumped into Pinkie who just came out of the Janitor's room, presumably finished her task. "Oh, hey you two!" Pinkie greeted them. "I just finished my task in the Janitor's room! What were your tasks?!" "My task is in Mrs. Cherilee's classroom," Fluttershy answered. "My task is there too," Applejack added. "Mine's also there as well!" Pinkie replied. "Let's go!" So they went to Mrs. Cherilee's classroom to finish their tasks there. They went inside the classroom and begin doing their tasks. After about a minute, the two girls finished their tasks but Applejack notices that Pinkie Pie doesn't seem to do anything. "Sugarcube, aren't you doing your task?" Applejack asked. "Nope," Pinkie shook her head with a big grin on her face. "Why would I be?" Then before they knew it, the doors locked and Pinkie pull out her gun and shot Applejack twice; one in the stomach and one on the forehead. And then called out to report the body. That was a self report. Dead Body reported! Discussed! The three girls were back in the cafeteria and of course, they noticed that Sunset was not with them. "So Sunset is not with us," Twilight said. "Okay, Pinkie, what happens?" But before Pinkie could answer, Fluttershy blurted out; "It's Pinkie! She must've killed Sunset and killed Applejack and then she self-report!" "WHAT?!" Pinkie cried out. "No way! That's a lie!" "Stop right there, stop!" Twilight stopped them. "Aren't you two girls are with Applejack in the same room?" "Yeah!" Pinkie nodded and then pointed at Fluttershy. "And then she locked the doors, killed Applejack, and then self-report!" "No!" Fluttershy cried, half loud, half quiet at the same time. "She's the one who did those things! She's making all up!" "Says the person who acts all shy and innocence!" Pinkie retorted. "That's what the imposter would say!" "B-but Twilight! You saw me do a couple of tasks earlier, right?!" Twilight took a moment to think and answered; "Yes. I have. But if Pinkie's claim is true, then what if you're just faking it? I mean, you did say that you wanted to fix the lights just because you don't want to look like your sus." Now Fluttershy was too shocked to hear that! She did saw her doing her tasks! How did she not believe that her doing tasks are genuine and legit?! So without any words to speak, she quickly pressed the vote button; voting Pinkie. "I made my vote!" "She's trying to vote me off and win as an imposter!" Pinkie exclaimed and pressed the vote button to vote Fluttershy off. "Twilight, who do you vote?!" Twilight took another moment and think hard about this. Pinkie's claim may sound true but Fluttershy's claims almost sounded convincing. So who's the imposter? From the ghost's point of view, they're pointing at Pinkie Pie as if they're telling Twilight that Pinkie was an imposter but it's pointless since they're ghosts they can't see them. So after thinking for a bit, Twilight closed her eyes and slowly pressed the vote button. She opened her eyes and sees that she also vote Fluttershy. The animal lover just stared at her, shock and disbelief. "Twilight...." Fluttershy spoke softly, still shocked that her friend made the wrong decision. "What have you done?" So then, the crewmates lose and the Imposter, Pinkie Pie, wins. The girls opened their eyes and found themselves back in Twilight's garage. They remove their helmets and pick themselves up, following is them stretching their arms and legs. "But I thought it was Fluttershy," Twilight protested. "Well, that went well..." Rainbow replied sarcastically. "It's okay, Twilight," Fluttershy assured her. "At least we all have fun." "Yeah!" Pinkie chimed in. "I pretty much got you all good!" "Yes, Pinkie," Sunset said with a smirk. "You did get us." "Certainly, darling," Rarity added. "Great game to all of you." "Ah have to admit, Twilight," Applejack said. "This simulator is quite more fun than playing on our devices." "Thanks, Applejack, and to everyone who had fun," Twilight replied, sounded grateful. "I also had fun despite my decision that led us to lose at the end." "Well, at least all that took place in a simulator but not in real life," Sunset reminded her. "So what do we do now?" Rainbow asked. "How about a sleepover in my place?" Twilight suggested. "We'll be watching some great A movies in my room." The others agreed and went on their separate ways and later come back to Twilight's house for a sleepover later at night. This is the best Among Us game they could ever play. In a VR simulator, they were so lucky to have a genius friend like Twilight while also have a friend with her pony counterpart who's now a princess of all Equestria as Sunset told them like a month or two ago. That was fun and they'll be even more fun the next time they'll use the simulator. We'll see...
