My Little Pony: Friendship is magic is property of Hasbro, and Runescape is property of Jagex. It was a quiet day in Edgeville, where an adventurer by the name of Zockmadness was getting ready for a fight against his friend Mini Lbj. Zockmadness is a devout follower of Zaros, and a great PvMer, but he wanted to try out his skills in PvP. After checking his quick curses, which were set to Turmoil, Soul Split, and Protect Item, he checked his inventory. Satisfied with the potions and food, he checked his equipped gear. He was wearing a Bandos chestplate, tassets, boots, gloves, helm, a Tokhaar-kal, a Sixth-Age circuit, an Amulet of Fury, and dual Drygore maces. Looking to his friend, Zockmadness said, "You ready noob?" Mini Lbj was wearing full Ganodermic, along with a Polypore staff. "You do know that I'm going to wreck you right?" Mini said with an annoyed look. "Keep dreaming," Zockmadness replied. After both adventurers were ready, they walked to the south of the bank, and they pulled the old lever in the abandoned building. Immediately after pulling the lever, they felt ancient and powerful energies flowing through them, as they were teleported. Deep in the Wilderness, the soon-to-be combatants ran south to avoid unnecessary conflict. Along the way, they encountered the Chaos Elemental. The Chaos Elemental was a cloud of pure chaos energy with a strange creature stickin out of it. The Chaos Elemental was different somehow. It didn't do any damage, it only unequipped their weapons and things that were just annoying. Deciding that it would be a waste of time and energy, the adventurers started to run away. As they were running, they were hit with chaotic magic from behind, and hit in the backpacks. Checking their gear for damage, they continued running. After getting far enough, Zockmadness drank a dose of his Overload potion and began shaking violently. "Hey! You know I don't have Overloads!" Mini shouted with a slightly nervous undertone. "That's why I'm using one. You are in mage gear, quit complaining," Zockmadness replied. Deciding to try to get some extra damage in, Zock smacks Mini with his main hand mace, dealing a substantial amount of damage. "Shit!" yells Mini, surprised at the suddenness of the attack. Mini eats some Rocktails to recover the lost health. The battle was neck-and-neck after that, but it was approaching it's conclusion. Mini, seeing that his opponent is out of food, freezes Zock with Ice Burst. Immediately after that, Mini fires a Blood barrage at Zock. Zock, trying to escape the deadly spell shot his way, blindly throws his teleport tablet to the ground; not noticing the rainbow-colored crack in it. Upon seeing Zock disappear, Mini decides to teleport away as well to escape any would-be PKers. Repeating what Zock did, Mini teleported to what should be safety. Little did the friend know, they were just beginning a new adventure. --Elsewhere, about 15 minutes earlier-- Discord was bored. He had reformed, and couldn't have any fun without being encased in stone for another two thousand years. That didn't stop him from thinking of ways to still indirectly cause chaos. Knowing that he couldn't do anything in this universe, he searched for a world chaotic enough to have fun in. Finding one that wasn't too peaceful or too chaotic that he wouldn't be noticed, he snapped his eagle talons together, and disappeared from Equestria. In seconds, he reappeared outside of an abandoned castle in the middle of a charred wasteland. He figured that he would have some fun here before returning to his friend Fluttershy. Looking around for something to do, he spotted a cloud of pure chaos energy with some kind of creature sticking out of it. Discord decided to have some fun, both with the strange beast, and anyone who he came across. Snapping his eagle talons together, he morphed himself to look just like the beast. His plan was to turn everyone against the beast by framing it for his chaotic deeds. Not knowing how long he would be waiting, he started exploring. About 5 minutes later, he encountered two powerful looking adventurers. Discord, seeing the chance to have some fun, fired a chaos blast at one of the adventurers, unequipping his weapon. This just seemed to frustrate the warrior, and seeing that he looked like he was ready for a battle or something, did the same thing to his friend. The duo ran away from Discord, not noticing that he had done something to their backpacks. Seeing that his fun was over, Discord changed back into his mismatched self. Chuckling at his own antics, the draconequus clicked his eagle talons together again. --Present time-- "What the hell? This isn't my house!" yelled Mini in frustration. "Quit complaining nooblet, I'm stuck here also, and hearing your whining isn't helping." Turning around, Mini saw Zock doing push-ups. I still don't know how that is resting... Mini thought. "Ha! You teleported first! Good fight noob," Mini said with a sense of superiority. Grunting, Zock stood back up, and got a good look at his surroundings. Where the hell are we? This doesn't look like any place I've seen. Zock thought to himself. They were in a heavily wooded area, looking like Tirannwn, the forest of the elves, but different somehow. Hearing a snapping twig a few feet to his right, Zock jumped backwards while spinning to get a good look at his attacker. It looks like a wolf of some kind, but completely made of wood. Knowing that it had failed in its sneak attack, the wolf howled. At first nothing happened, but then the wolf looked behind itself. Upon seeing the other five wolves that were its backup frozen in place by chunks of ice, the wolf donned a fearful expression. "This is the part where you run off with your tail between your legs," Zock said with a maniacal grin. The wolf scurried away, thankful to still be alive. "You do know that I had it right? Also, get Ice barrage noob," Zock said. "Yes, but we're both low on health from our fight, so I took some initiative. I also just saved your ass," replied Mini with a smug look. "I'm going to see if I can find any landmarks," said Zock, shaking his head in exasperation. Finding a tall tree, Zock climbed up nimbly. "I think I see a town that way! I can also see what I think are people down there!" He shouted to Mini, while pointing at it. "Let's go then!" Mini replied, noting the direction that Zock was pointing. After about 3 minutes of walking through the dense foliage of the forest, they see the town that they spotted. What Zock didn't spot however, was that all of the "people" were actually miniature horses. "What the hell?" Both adventurers asked at the same time.
