//------------------------------// // Screw Hannibal! Twilight is best strategist // Story: Pony Terrestrial // by Arcanel //------------------------------// I’m back o’ mighty readers! CPM here. I have come back from my trip from Peru, and that means I’m back in the game. I took a few days off due to my mind and catching up, but I’m now ready for more! I have also seen thar I now got more than 3100 views and like 50 comments, not counting my own, plus more thumbs up than down...You..are...AWESOME! So, now you are wondering, the hell will happen to Twilight in this game? Well wonder no more! An answer to that is what I’m giving. Welcome to the new installment of The misadventures of MLP: FIM around the world, Screw Hannibal! Twilight, is best strategist! (Yes I mean the historical Hannibal, not the creepy Hannibal XD) In the contract you just signed for the control of the world, I hope you read the fine print that said “Nothing but this fic is of your possession” If you didn’t well…tough luck! ************************************************************************************************************************************************************ After explaining the entire thing, AGAIN, with the help of Twilight at my side, thank Celestia, we went on reaching who were the interested ponies and/or dragon. As I expected and wanted, only the royalty duo and the studious purple pony wanted to join. “I will play this Arcanel. I definitely want to see if I am worthy enough of being a good strategist. Plus, the game seems interesting enough already, not to mention, it also puts on an interesting plot, and I need to see what the hay is going on!” Twilight almost screamed. ‘Twilight Sparkle. Mode: Game on! Indeed, this is going to be fun!’ I thought in glee. Apparently it is true that we all have a gaming side like Pinkie. AKA, excellent! “I am intrigued as well. With so many opportunities to make an error, I shall see just how much one needs to think through the chance to attack. This game intrigues me” Luna commented, her face lit at the possibility of participating at the game. ‘Hmm, she is much more interested in this than I thought. Well, that sure is better for me!’ “I will admit that this kind of games would be quite useful for a defense of the country, not to mention, it seems interesting. I shall play as well” Celestia said with her best regal tone. But I could see a hint of excitement in there. ‘I managed to make not one but the TWO princesses of Equestria be not only interested in a simple game of our world, but play it as well. If my mind wasn’t having any chance of messing up, it surely does now. Must…not…freak…out!’ “If it weren’t for the game having WAY too many rules I would play it, but it is too…slow for my taste” Rainbow said. ‘No surprise there. I wonder though, if she were the type to think strategies, would that make her the best Pegasus in history?’ (You tell me on that one XD). “That kind of fighting is too crude for to even INTERACT with it. I must say though that the clothes are quite…something” Rarity admitted. ‘(Sigh) Did I ever have any doubt on this one? Nope. My love is unrequited, yet the sentences…once again, (sigh)’ “I don’t think I-I want to play that” Fluttershy said. ‘Awww. Why must she be so afraid and in turn make me melt in cuteness overload dammit?!’ “I agree with Rainbow on this one. WAY too complicated for my mind” Spike plainly said. ‘Only because I understand I will not say anything onto that. No worries Spike’ “Ah’m going with Rainbow and Spike on this one as well. Ah need something that has more…movement” Applejack said. ‘My dear cowmare, after the amazing demonstration for gaming mode you did earlier, I think I could allow you to hit me and not mind at all’ “I want to play too! Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut…since I think Twilight is the best for this job, and she can spend some time with the princesses, I’m gonna pass this time” Pinkie declared. ‘Wow…I did not expect her to pass up playing a game, nor to say it like that, but then again, she also knows how much Twilight can get involved into something especially if it involves the princesses, now that I think about it’ “Okay, with that defined, let us get into the battle at hand shall we? Princess Luna, Princess Celestia, Twilight Sparkle. Please stand at attention for the strategy has already begun…and we are first thanks to the ever great speed that Ranunculus has. Also there are only 6 enemies, which is not a lot, even though we are only 3. Understood?” I declared to the Canterlot trio, smiling as I did, a bit of a military mocking voice in it as well. After a playful “Understood” from the spoken ponies, we started the battle. “Okay! Raki has the magical skill Aero I, has a piercing and slashing attack, and has the best physical attack out of all three, not to mention a good movement” I explained “Oh yeah. The monsters here are called Majin. But aside that we are good” I said. “Very well then. Can we get close enough for a physical attack to that close one? And if so, what type is it weak to?” Twilight asked me. Well, right now the word order would be more suiting but then again, I sure as hell won’t complain. After her words I checked them both. “Sorry we can’t reach it. However, they are weak to piercing attacks and pyro and sacra spells” I informed her. “Then can we reach it with the magic spell?” Luna asked. Once again, after her command I went to check, this time with a positive result. “Yes we can!” I happily announced. “Then use the-“”Wait a second Luna” The interruption came from none other than Celestia. “Shouldn’t we see if the monster will negate or reduce the power from the spell of such an element?” She asked her. At this I could not help but smile. “Good thinking Princess! Arcanel?” Twilight complimented. I think by now her level of care for the royalty part of speaking went a bit out the window. “Well it seems a little weak but not by much” I commented. “Very well then. Move Ranunculus close to that majin…monster thing and hit it with the spell” Twilight commanded. “At your orders ma’am!” I saluted. With that, I put Ranunculus close to the majin, which looked like a roach, only standing on two legs, more alien looking like, and with two claws in its hands, and activated the spell. The result was taking 30 points of damage from the enemy, which had 80 points of life. “Excellent! I expected as much damage from that” Twilight said, smiling at her success. Problem is I just remembered something. Space of the future. “Um, Twilight? I don’t mean to burst your bubble, but we kinda left Raki in an open space where if the enemies’ turn come…they might attack him with all they have” I said, facepalming myself for not seeing it coming. I wanted to at least help them on their first move. This is what happens when you don’t play a game for a long while, not to mention, having a few brain meltdowns in between that while. “What do you…oh. Oh horseapples! My first move and I already made a mistake!” She lamented. Nuh uh, not gonna let this game make my ponies sad…or at least in this moment. “Don’t worry Twilight! We may still be able to neutralize the enemies before they can reach Raki, not to mention the other enemies may out of reach regardless of how close they are to him AND the fact that we can cure him if worse comes to worse and the fact that he has more life than the rest of the characters” I quickly explained to her. At this she seemed a little dazed at the sudden amount of information, but shaked her head and nodded nonetheless. “Okay then whose turn is it?” She asked. “Not yet. Remember that we have to end the turn first. Well this is what the wait command is. When I said that which side the character looking is important, it was because you receive more damage if you get attacked in your side or even more in your behind. In this case since that majin is almost literally right next to us, choosing to look from their side would be the most appropriate. Besides, since this is the first level, their intelligence of acting is not quite exactly high” I told her. With another nod of her head she said. “I see. Then do that please. I don’t see any fault in that logic” “Amazing. They really did put a lot of thought on the workings of this game” Luna commented. “ I could not agree with you more my friend. But believe me this is nothing compared to other games” I told said dark blue pony. With that she put on a curious face, but then shrugged and said nothing. “Would it be possible to have this type of games for our army in our land Arcanel? It would be very useful for making the soldiers thinking and even give ideas on certain situations of combat” Princess Celestia asked. Okay, I did NOT expect that kind of question so quickly. While I know that first and foremost are her ponies and country, explaining to her the matters of gaming is NOT easy without sounding like some sort of bureaucratic nerd or some such, not to mention the impact it would do on Equestria. “Well…Princess, I would like to say that it is an easy thing to do but…due to given circumstances, I think we should wait a little on that matter. Later I will explain why I am saying this, but first let us enjoy the game, if you would not mind” I told her. While she did look at me a little bit strangely, she dismissed and turned her head to the game. “I see…I’ll be looking forward to that” She said, smiling to me. For some reason, now I’m getting more and more reasons to be afraid of our world right now. “Now is the turn of that majin. See since he can’t reach Raki, nor he can do something else, he passes his turn, and now is the turn of Retica” I explained. “He’s not as fast or strong however, he has two advantages. One is that he uses a bow that can reach a total of 3 squares total, not counting the first one, and two he may be able to gain a healing spell when he reaches enough experience” I finished. “Oh right I’ve been meaning to ask, how do you gain experience in the game?” Twilight suddenly asked. Well…here goes nothing. “(Sigh) There are a lot of ways. Attacking an enemy, defeating an enemy, receiving damage, curing an ally, applying a positive status on an ally, like better defense or more attack, applying a negative status on an ally, like less defense or attack, overkilling an enemy, capturing an enemy…in other words, gaining experience ISN’T that difficult, however, it still takes a lot of priority because it makes the characters stronger after gaining some of it” I told my studious pony. Her face was actually of understanding, but if saw it well, there was also a hint of frustration. Something I would not be surprised on anybody, nor would I blame them for feeling. This game CAN and WILL make you frustrated sometimes. Oh the pain…THE PAIN!!! “I see…it seems the game IS as complicated as you made it seem. Well, I’ll do this anyway! I won’t let a game beat me!” Twilight yelled in determination. ‘That’s my gamer pony! Let us reach to the wonders of human gaming!’ I thought in ecstasy before mentally facepalming myself for such a thought. (Sigh) I really need a life. Only now I don’t want to get a new one if it means no ponies in my life. “Remember though, I’ll just give hints and other stuff, but I want YOU three to play the game and think it through, okay?” I said to the magical beings trying to burn their minds for fun. And after receiving a general nod, I continued. “Okay, so it’s Retica’s turn. Like I said he can reach further away than other’s but cannot attack directly to someone right beside him, rather three squares from that position. Also, the further away the enemy is in his range, the less damage he will do. And one more thing, his attack is piercing based. What do you want to do?” I asked. The ponies suddenly went into thinking mode, this time taking their sweet time, but the thinking face of Celestia was very cute. ‘Oh you ponies and your cute poses. You make me melt, and that feels good’ I thought in cuteness overload mode thinking. Suddenly the first head up was Twilight’s. “I know! See if the majin gets more damage from his attack” She told me. After that I checked the majin’s status once again and saw that indeed it was weak to piercing attacks, and after telling her that she spoke again. “Okay, now we can make Retica move into middle place of range. That way we can leave him not so open, and even let Thage attack from closer in if she needs to. After all, she’s next after Retica and from her type of wearing and the presentation I can see that she has some spells at her disposal. Hopefully, that will be more than enough to defeat the monst-majin” She said. ‘I…I want to cry…that was awesome!’ I thought in ecstasy. Now the game…truly begins. “Great idea Twilight! Princesses, do you agree?” I asked the royal ponies. “Yes, it is a great idea Twilight Sparkle!” Luna complimented. “Indeed. I’m proud of you, my dear student” Celestia praised. If by now Twilight hadn’t blushed, she was now. What I also like is that they are right now praising every good move as a thing that would practically require a parade. “Okay, let’s do this” I declared once more, and with that went to move said character. After moving Retica I made him attack and did 21 points of damage. Pretty good. “Very good! Now the majin only has 29 points of life! We’re very close and like you said Twilight, Thage is quite good on what we need right now. Let me just end Retica’s turn” I said, and with that ended, his turn looking at the majin. “Now for Thage! She is even slower and less physically strong than Retica, however, she is a spellcaster, meaning she excels in magic. Right now she has two magics, Pyro I and Malus I. She is also not too good for the movement as well, but the range of her magic makes up for that” I finished explaining the characteristics of my dear dark spellcaster. At this Celestia reacted faster than I thought she would, considering I expected Twilight to do so. “Is that so?...Is the majin weak to any of those spells?” She asked in her pensive face. After going and checking said majin’s elemental weaknesses, I simply smiled. “Yep, it’s very weak to Pyro” I told her. “Then we can use the spell of Thage on that majin, right?” Luna asked this time. I nodded to her, then she said. “Then use that spell on it. Twilight Sparkle, sister, do you agree?” After they both nodded “I’m on it!” I exclaimed and went to obey my orders. Time to destroy some majin. After moving Thage closer to the majin I went and used Pyro I. It did what I thought it would do. Overkill. “What just happened to that majin?” Twilight asked. Time to explain overkill. “Well, when you sometimes defeat a majin with more power than needed, if this power reaches a certain number they will be overkilled. When that happens, they are get binded, stays in the same spot it was defeated, and we are able to capture them, so that we can earn more experience for the character who captures it, and later use the majin to make it our ally or give us items or abilities. Since Thage caused 69 points of damage, the majin had 29, and his overkill gauge was of 10, there was enough damage to make it an overkill” I explained once more. Phew, this will really make my throat beg for forgiveness at the end of the day. ‘But if anything it will be worth it!’ I thought dismissing my pain over spending my time with some of my favorite characters. No pain, no gain, right? “I see. Can we capture it now?” She asked. I shook my head. “No, we must wait until the next turn before we can do that. Let me finish the turn” And with that, I made Thage look at the majin. Okay, now, for the rest to act. As I expected the other majin that was close to Raki went close to him and attacked his side, netting 20 points of damage out of his 105. Luckily for us he has the more life points out of all three, and even better than that, the other majin are way too far away, and so did not even move or did anything. “Phew. Only one majin managed to attack. That’s good, we can cure Raki afterwards. Also, since this is the first level, the majin are not that smart nor powerful. Is that okay with you?” I asked the three playing ponies. And with a nod I said. “Okay, it’s Ranunculus’ turn again. What do you want to do now?” I once again asked the ponies. “Well…we can’t just leave that majin to attack again, right? So why not do the same thing we did to defeat the previous majin since it is the same one?” Twilight said. “Wait a moment” Luna interrupted. ”Arcanel, you before said that the spells have a certain quantity of uses, correct?” She asked me. I nodded and then she continued. “Then why not save the spells when we can’t reach the majin and instead use a physical attack if it has the chance of doing the same sort of damage, as well as attacking the majin from another side so that he can do more damage?” She finished. ‘Okay, they’re learning WAY faster than I thought. Then again, that might have to do with the fact that they need it that kind of quick thinking in case of emergency back in Equestria, not to mention, they are princesses who are very smart and a pony who takes reading practically like a JOB. In other words, I don’t know whether to be scared…or giddy. Meh, I’ll chose giddy. EEEEE!’ I pondered in glee. These girls will rock! I wonder what would have happened if they participated in our wars. Hmmm…better not wonder that. “Great idea Luna!” Celestia complimented. “But we will have to be careful on moving him, or he will be open again” She warned. At this both Luna and Twilight nodded their heads and that’s when Luna spoke again. “Arcanel. please move Ranunculus to the right side of the majin and then physically attack with whatever type of attack does more damage to it” She said. At that I saluted her and said. “On it!” And with that, I did what she told me to do. I moved Raki next to the majin and attacked him with Bite, which is piercing and is one of the two attacks Raki has, the other being Slash, which was well…a slashing attack. The result was a good 40 damage to it. Excellent. “Okay! Now finish the turn looking at the majin, and do the same thing you did with Retica and Thage, all of them looking at the same side than Ranunculus” Twilight semi-ordered. She wasn’t exactly ordering per se, but the thinking was good enough for me to think of it as an order. Oh well. On to business! I went and attacked the majin with the same strategy we used before. Retica, attack middle range, Thage, Pyro I and another overkill to go! “Excellent, now we only have four majin left!” I happily announced. “Now, wherever you want to go now-“ I stopped talking because once again, Raki got hurt for another 20 points of damage, leaving him now with only 65 points to spare. Dammit, he’s getting more hurt than I thought. Oh well, I hope he can endure a bit more. “Oh dear” Twilight sighed. I could not agree more, but the game must go on. “Should we cure Raki?” She asked. At this the voice of Celestia entered the fray. “As much as it pains me to leave someone wounded because of our mistakes…we cannot go and blindly end all of our health reserves” She said. I could notice a hint of disdain in her face, as if disgusted with herself. ‘Oh Celestia…I’m glad you think of everybody even if they are a game, but please don’t hit yourself much over it. I can’t exactly go and tell her something to counter that, regardless of the logic it could have now can I?’ I thought in a bit of sadness. Well, the game must continue, but I better say something. “She is right Twilight. We only have 3 items to cure, and we must be sure they will not go to much waste. They can cure 50 points of damage each, so we’re good. Also, Princess Celestia, I know you cannot stand seeing someone hurt, but remember, it wasn’t your fault exactly per se, not to mention, this is a game and your first time playing it. I say worry, but not enough to bring that sad face on you, okay? I myself cannot stand you beating yourself over this, even though I know it is in your nature” I said. At that she looked at me a bit surprised but then she smiled and said. “Thank you Arcanel for that. However, instead of worrying about me, why don’t we worry about the game instead” She told me, a bit of mischief in her voice. I swear, we need a ruler like Celestia. Snarky, worried for her people/ponies and country, great pony herself, and super powerful in case of emergency. AKA Celestia wins! (Celestia and Luna run for co-presidents. How many votes would they get from everybody else, and if not both, who would win? That’s up to you, I can’t vote, it’s too hard for me! XD). “Well you are a great pony, important to me and your ponies, and you are a princess of a foreign world. Why WOULDN’T you matter?” I answered, with the same bit of mischief but also in a caring tone as well. At this she blushed a bit but quickly shook her head and turned her head to the game. “T-Thank you” She replied, stammering a bit. ‘Wow I made the one of the princesses of Equestria stammer. That’s…creepy I think. Oh dear…probably should be more careful from now on on those’ I thought. “Anyway, what do you want to do now?” I asked the three ponies again. At this they all went pensive again, only this time, Celestia seemed to be thinking even more than before. Well, I think that’s what happens when you are a ruler and you let your people get hurt, regardless when they are fictitious I guess. “Well…we could keep on going with our actual strategy, only to be careful of Ranunculus getting hurt, and if need to be, cure him. Do we all agree?” Twilight asked to her friend and her mentor. At this they all agreed. “In that case, Arcanel do the same thing we did before, but leave Raki as far away from the other majin as you can, okay?” She told me. With a nod of my head I went and did that same thing. Put Raki to the left side of the majin, attacked, then so did Retica at middle range and Thage with another Pyro I. And with it another overkill, leaving only 3 majin now. Now came the turn from the Pyromote, the other type of majin that was in the battlefield, along with the type we have been defeating, the Caprus, and hasn’t been able to do much because it was far away…and uses magic. ‘Please don’t use it, please don’t use it, please don’t use it!’ I started chanting in my head. However, it did little from not having it happen. The majin moved a bit closer and also used Pyro I. “Dammit! I was hoping that majin wasn’t close enough to attack him!” I yelled. The attack left Raki with only 20 points of life, as he was a bit weaker to magic in general. “What?! The majin can use magic skills too!?” Twilight exclaimed. Oh yeah I hadn’t explained that, had I?...Fuck. “Yeah. I forgot to mention that majin can pretty much use the same abilities we use” I explained, a bit embarrassed because of my forgetful mind…again. Do I really need to go and write everything down? “Sorry” I apologized. “But this game really has a lot of stuff, and with all I just forgot, not to mention my memory sometimes REALLY hates me” I said in disdain. At this all three ponies just smiled. “Oh don’t worry Arcanel. I’m sure you are doing your best. Besides we can cure him, right?” Twilight cheered me. “Indeed she is right” The conjoined voice came from the royal sisters, which to tell the truth, was a bit weird when they said the same thing. And I think they thought that too because they looked at each other when they finished speaking. “Yeah…you’re right. Anyway what do you want to do now?” I asked, still a bit sad at my epic memory fail. At this, Twilight spoke again. “Well what is the majin more weak to? Magic damage or physical damage?” She asked me. I went and checked the majin’s status to discover that it was weaker to magical attacks. Weird. I then informed of said discovery to Twilight, who in turn said. “Well, in that case attack with Raki from behind if you can, and then cure him with Retica, maybe we can defeat the majin with Thage’s magic” She said. At this, once again the princesses nodded at her plan, and therefore, I executed it. However when I reached Thage’s turn, Luna suddenly interrupted. “Wait!” She yelled. I was curious, and I think so was the rest. “What is the matter sister?” Celestia asked. “Well…we should see what is the majin more weak to first right? Besides, if the majin has just used the Pyro spell, then maybe it is strong against it” She explained. Well I’ll be…before my mind was working wonders…now it forgot that the PYROmote is strong against said magic…’I wonder what is your plan my dear brain. Stop confusing me!’ I yelled at my own mind. I swear, it is planning something evil, I know it! “You are absolutely right, Luna!” I told her, disregarding the fact that my mind simply went idiot before. “Arcanel, can you check if it is strong against Malus?” Celestia asked me. I did as she asked and when I did, I found out that it was a little weak to Malus, as well as seeing that it was indeed quite strong against Pyro. I need get my mind checked. After telling my findings to Celestia, she said. “In that case, attack with that spell and hope for the best” She said. I did as I was told and attacked with Malus I. And luckily, it did kill the majin for just 1 point. ‘Omega phew there’ “Woohoo! We did it! Now only two to go!” Twilight exclaimed in joy. Indeed this was a great feat being their first time, but then again, a very smart pony and two immortal princesses SHOULD be good at strategies, right? “What now?” I asked for the umpteenth time now. Being the medium for actions is a little repetitive to tell the truth, but hell yes I’m enjoying it! “Well…now we go to the other side and battle the last majin the same way we did now” Luna said. At that Twilight suddenly interrupted. “Wait!…Arcanel, you said that capturing the enemies gave experience, and that Retica could learn a healing spell, right?” She asked me. I nodded at her. “In that case, why don’t we first capture the enemies that are in the battlefield to see if he can learn it? That way we don’t have to worry about healing so much” She explained. Me likes how she thinks. “Good idea Twilight Sparkle!” Celestia once again complimented. Luna did the same thing afterwards. “Very well. I’ll do that right now!” I said. And with that, I slowly moved Thage and Ranunculus closer to the majin, while retica went and captured the majins. As I thought, the capturing scene brought thoughts to the mind. “Wow…she really is creepy” Twilight said. ‘Agreed, my dear pony. Agreed. Huh, I didn’t say my little pony. Is that good or bad?’ I suddenly wondered in my mind, but quickly dismissing it. “Does she even have a heart?” Luna asked. ‘Eeeeeenope. I don’t think so’ I thought as the image of Thage capturing with magic the majin along with creepy music happened. “I wonder if there is a reason for her to be this…shallow” Celestia pondered. ‘Well, I can’t say a lot from that. Even got lost at the ending of the game’ After I was close to the majin and Retica captured all the enemies, he finally leveled up. At this a conjoint “Excellent” sounded in the room, which was once again weird, and earned a laugh from us and the rest of the ponies who were watching, even Pinkie who had been awfully quiet in the whole gaming play on here. “Yep he has the spell now. Cura I” I announced after checking his current status. “Now, do you want to proceed like last time?” I asked the Canterlot trio once more, and hopefully, for the last time. “Yes” All responded at the same time. I could see a hint of frustration in their faces, but only Luna and Twilight was a bit noticeable. Celestia’s face was difficult to read. After that, I proceeded to beat the majin into overkill, and get the other as well, even though Raki got hurt a bit. But after healing him with Retica when the majin got killed, Raki had leveled up as well as Thage. Before I could go and capture the final majin, I got interrupted by Luna. “Wait! I believe that is one of the treasure chests you mentioned before, right?” She said. When I went to look, she was indeed right. There was one in the corner. “Wow, good sight there Princess Luna! Let me go and open it and then capture the final majin with Retica, who usually needs more levels than the rest. Is that okay with you?” I asked them. At the general nod, I went and did just that. We received a Jerkin, which if I remember correctly was a piece of armor, and then captured the majin to end the battle. FINALLY! At that moment Princess Luna, Princess Celestia and Twilight gave a sigh of relief. Apparently, they were as frustrated as I thought. “Woo! We won!” Twilight cheered. “THOU CANNOT OVERCOME THE POWER OF THE ROYAL PRINCESSES!” Luna screamed in her Royal Canterlot Voice again. My ears…my poor ears… “I am glad we have won. It really was a thinking battle” Celestia admitted. “Well…how did you like the game?” I asked the ponies. At this I got a response, somewhat expected. “I liked the game!...But I think I would only play it when I really want to think” Twilight said. “I agree with Twilight Sparkle. The game is quite difficult is in that it makes you think” Luna admitted. “And I agree with them both. I would really like this type of games in our country for the soldiers to practice the battles” Celestia mentioned once again. And once again I went and tried to turn her down. “Well, like I said before, I will explain later the reasons why that is not as easy as it looks heh” I told her, a little nervous. “On any case, Twilight I’m gonna have to say sorry” I said to the purple pony. “Why?” She asked. Well, here it comes. “Because I’m gonna have to end the game right now” I told her sadly. This of course, made her retaliate. “But…why?! I still need to know why is all this happening, the relationships of the characters, and more!” She protested. I could totally understand her…but… ”Because takes up a lot of time per battle, and I still have another game to test, not to mention, it is somewhat late, and Fluttershy and Rarity didn’t even get to play yet” I explained her one of the most difficult things to do to someone who likes games…why they can’t keep on playing the game and follow the plot. At this however, she suddenly thought and put on a game of understanding, however, she had another realization. “But, won’t we have to play the battle again?” She asked. Well, this is kinda why I love technology right now. “Not exactly, I can save the progress of the game and continue it the next time we play. Imagine having something to mark the page of a book so you can continue it from there” I told her. ‘Oh saving…how wonderful you are. I do wonder what we would do without it, old games aside. Then again it does make it difficult, but then again games are now either shorter, or longer than before’ I pondered. “On any case, I’m glad you at least enjoyed the game a bit even if it IS frustrating” I said. “And now we go on to the final game!” “Finally! That game was too boring!” Rainbow complained. “Ah’m gonna have to agree with her on that” “And me with her” Applejack and Spike said. “Well, that aside, the next game is for what I hope to be the enjoyment of you Rarity and you Fluttershy” I told both ponies. Rarity really took great interest when I said that, and Fluttershy simply was a bit curious, something I’m not surprised. Well, here goes nothing! ************************************************************************************************************************************************************ I FINISHED THIS DAMNED CHAPTER ONCE AND FOR ALL! And it’s not even my best work. Rather my worse if I said so. (Sigh) Yeah, I know, I took a lot of time but I really had trouble with this chapter. I just hope I did good enough though. Not to mention, this chapter had been on my mind for a while, and it simply messed it up. But here it is and now we go on to the next game! Sorry if the end did seem rushed, but I realized that this game was more troubling than I thought and I wanted it out soon. Now for the next game you wonder “What could he possibly use for those ponies?!” And I don’t blame you. All I can hope is that I am making the right choice. The next game is of Capcom, and as the obvious tip, it involves restoring stuff, adventure and fighting, and it is from maybe 4 or 5 years. Well, not so obvious no? XD. Anyway, you know the catchphrase by now. Comment, R&R, let your inner Grammar Nazi out, throw WHATEVER ideas you have for me, haters ignored, flamers abhorred, etc, etc. CPM out.
