Through all this excitement, there was one particular stallion who busy doing his own thing.
The clicking of keys being pressed echoed through the hollow room.
"Must... Get.. the Nether Star..." A certain black stallion said, In a daze.
While his other villainous protégés were out taking care of rather pressing matters, Shade discovered a game called "Minecraft". Deciding to give it try, he soon found it quite... Well, addicting.
"Shade! Turn on the bath!" A familiar voice shouted.
"Nightmare Moon! Your a cloud; you don't take baths!" Shade replied, still in a daze, and not realizing the consequences if Nightmare Moon found out what he was doing. Really, he wasn't really sure who he was talking too.
It was too late once he realized. "Not anymore! Remember I- Wait! Why you..." Nightmare Moon fumed, stompping into the room in the familiar shape of a alicorn.
Suddenly, Shade comprehended what he was doing, and who was at the door. Quickly closing his laptop, he grabbed a nearby notepad and pencil.
"What are you doing?" Asked an already suspicious Nightmare Moon.
"I'm.. Uh... Planning our latest scheme!" Shade said quickly.
"Let me see that!" Encasing the pad in her hoof, she peered at it with "her" eyes.
"Shade, this is just doodles!"
"Uhh... On the next page!"
Nightmare Moon flipped the notepad.
"Dr.. Dragons?" Glancing up at Shade, she noticed the laptop behind him. Dashing towards the computer, she opened it before Shade could stop her.
"What is this... Thing called Minecraft?" Nightmare Moon said quizzically.
"It's a game! About survival!" Shade said, excited at the mention of it.
"In.. Cubes?"
"Yes!"
"I will never understand young ponies... Nor will I ever play this ridiculous game!"
Five Minutes Later
"I WILL beat this Wither! NOPONY CAN STOP ME!" Nightmare Moon screamed at the laptop.
Shade was right next to her, tapping furiously.
"Here! Another diamond sword!"
"Thank you fellow survivor!"
This continued for a while, then finally "Master", who was outside, had enough.
"What in Faust's Name are you two DOING!" The pony screamed, or at least, the shadow they could see of it.
Quickly, the two close their laptops, grabbing a notepad and two pencils.
"Were scheming!" Shade said quickly. Nightmare Moon nudged him.
"Ugg. You two seriously think I believe that? Go actually scheme." The Master said, and walked away.
As soon as he was out of ear-shot, Nightmare Moon opened her laptop.
"We got plenty of time to plan later. Just... Another go at the Wither?"
And so, our villains got absolutely no where, in real life, nor Minecraft.
