Here's a recap of what happened. Me and Box are immortal and I've been in prison for more than 1000 years, thanks Luna! I've been roughly introduced to a stallion named "The Doctor" in that prison, later Box and I reunited only to find he abused my powers to become a on/off billionaire with an odd job system.
We are "totes besties" with Princess Luna, who allowed me a free room in the castle, incase its relevant: thanks Luna. There I learned that Box could give me basic MOD powers if I let him keep my axe. Box took me to a game store, where I'm now battling Button Mash and probably the Doctor in a Joyboy game called "Fighting is Magic" or "FiM".
"'Rainbowfied' isn't even out yet! How does he have it?!" Button cries out. I give him shrug and keep playing, "I have no clue if I'm supposed to be worried or not."
Button has a team of: His character, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity. Doctor has his team of: His own character, Derpy, and Roseluck, but Roseluck is down meaning playing and team support from her is gone too. From what "Apple Jack" said when I sicked a manticore on Button, he would need a full team for a level 3 super attack. I'm hoping that info helps, my team is: Princess Celestia, Level 2 Fluttershy, and Bulk Biseps. I have the "My Little Human", "Not a Snowflake", and "Power Pony" abilities giving me an yellow anthro super hulk in green tights. The Doctor is Rainbowfied and Button...
"Button mash regained his '20% cooler' Power Up and the field advantage 'Iron Pony'!"
From our Joyboys our mysterious Player 3 asks, "What's iron pony?"
"Ha HA!! 'Iron Pony' allows me to have a power boost! Though I lose that if I trade one of my characters with another pony." he glares at me when he said that. I look back down to see I'm playing with a muscular human Button Mash and he has my Level 2 Fluttershy as a pony with ponified version of her power pony costume. He then summons his team move, a twinkle turned flame in his eyes.
"Thank you for picking Fluttershy!" he said grinning. The screen is filled with a rainbow then a explosion, when the white light from "The Elements of Harmony" attack dimed down, a regular Fluttershy, Antro Celestia, and Rainbowfied Derpy now stand on the field.
"Well, that was interesting." P3 said, irritated in his voice probably from his loss.
"Most powerful move in the game!" Button said, explaining that you need a team of elements bearers to use that move.
"Yee haw! Now that was a doozie! Box01 has two ponies left and the Doctor just has one!"
Even though I used one of the most powerful attacks, caution is needed. I place "fabulous" and "20% cooler" on Fluttershy. I would use Rarity or Rainbow as my battler but, Fluttershy's only GOOD support is Manticore and Discord summon. "Yay!"
Instead of punches and kicks, Fluttershy chunks a rabbit that homes in on the nearest fighter and its super effective making it hard to get near Button, "What's with the rabbit?" I thought aloud.
"It's Angel Bunny. Her pet / guardian. I don't get why nearly everypony from Ponyville is in this game. hmm... Looks like Doctor has a Level 2 Derpy." Button informs me of the glowing pegasus with a muffin..
"Wait, these are actual ponies?" I asked, not sure what to feel about real versions of these ponies.
"Yeah, you didn't know that?"
"I know Celestia and Luna were real, but the others?... interesting." I said, rubbing my chin then quickly returned my hand to the d-pad.
"Even a few kids from school are here! Speaking, here's three right now." he said, pointing at three fillies walking through the glass door, bell ringing at their arrival.
"So, Ah reckon, Spike's letter said to go here a find a hoo-mun?" a yellow one said her pink bow swaying in her red mane as she looked around.
"May be its that... monkey? That's playing with Button Boo." a white unicorn with the mane that resembled purple and pink yogurt said, pointing at me. I strike the Doctor with a mid-air kick before looking up from my screen at Button, smirking.
"Button B-?" he cuts me off with a cold, "Shut up."
Behind button is a orange pegasus with a blue helmet and small wings looking over his shoulder, "Really? You picked Fluttershy?"
"No I didn't. He did, I just activated Iron Pony and traded mini me for her." Button said, suddenly getting a good long laugh from the filly.
"If I know you, I know you would make an OP move without thinking! Though, Iron Pony boosts team attacks too... and you'd probably need it if your weak OC was in your team." she said, removing her helmet.
"Rainbow Dash Level Up! Derpy Level Up!" little Apple Jack said, informing of the Rainbowfied Level 3 Derpy and Level 2 Rainbow Dash.
"Oh! Are you guys playing on mah farm?" the yellow one asked.
"Is it too late to join?" said the white one... I need to get their names. Just then, Box shows up with nearly full saddle bags which is very odd to me. Because everybody in Mine Craft carry their items inside an inventory or wooden chests.
Box before taking a seat next to us, he greets our guests, "Hello Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, and mysterious P3 who is in no way a time-lord."
"Hello..." replied P3. Box messes with his bags before putting them in his inventory (like a normal Box should), "Lego. Would you rather have a XBON, NeighTENDO, or Play Stable?"
I use Bulk's partner assist to launch me up, past Angel, and mid-air kick into Fluttershy.
"They all sound great, though in my world I never liked Play Station unless it was PSP or something." I said, Princess Celeslaping the little Fluttershy on the ground. Box claped his hooves, "Great, I wasn't too far off! I got- What're you doing?"
"Dude! Quit slapping Fluttershy!" Button said, eyes glued to his one screen Joyboy.
"Well I don't want to punch her! If somebody asks how I beat 'the Great Button Mash' I don't want to say I punched fake Fluttershy, that'll be so wrong!" I said, with my Celestia drawing her sword to knock Derpy almost off stage. A vote came on for "AppleMark", "Mocking Jay", and "RDRocks" to join, and to that I selected yes.
The Doctor lost the vote, but got Roseluck back. Applebloom had a team of: CMC (these three fillies count as one character?), Apple Jack, and BigMac. Scootaloo followed suit with: CMC (winter), Rainbow Dash (wonderbolt), and Spit Fire. Sweetie Belle went a different route: Celestia (young), Luna (young), and... Princess Twilight? OK, how does a purple unicorn become a princess?
What followed up, answered my question. Twilight had spells that made having Rainbow Dash speed and a Celestia character worth having, when she took out her Level 1 super move "Arise" changing her from a book nerd to a Level 2 alicorn princess Twilight. Button had to use his Rainbow Dash to dodge the attacks of... orange frogs? And deadly lasers.
Wait... Celestia is strength, Twilight is power, and would that make Luna speed? This sounds balanced and balanced is a threat.
Twilight had two power ups added "Sunrise" and "Dream Scape" while CMC had "Honesty" and "Family Bonds" and CMC (winter) had "Wonderbolt: Strength" power ups applied. "Well, looks like we have more guests! Ah'll let Pinkie Pie handle this rodeo while I join ma family!" Apple Jack said signing off.
"Oh, I'm soo excited to be here! read your lines miss. Okie-Dokie-Lokie! We've got AppleMark, hi Applebloom! She avoids a hit from winter Scootaloo's head butt and returns with... kicking winter Sweetie in the face? Now that's just mean. But, how do they all get hurt? May be their friendship allows them to feel each other's... WOAH! Roseluck is being chased by... No! Derpy is being chased by a flaming Twilight! Derpy flies left, which makes her go right? Silly inverted controls! Why are they called 'inverted'? Why not backwards or reverse control or Ditzy Doo Style?! Wait... is Derpy, Ditzy Doo? Now that's just rude!"
"Oh my Luna! Why did they let her do this!!!"
"Well, excuuuse me princess! Oh, wait... that was rude too! Sorry, Button Mash!" Scootaloo shook her head a bit before, "Did she just-"
"Its Pinkie Pie. Nopony can explain it. By the way look out." he said this as CMC (winter) is knocked off stage by Button's Rainbow Dash.
"Good one Dashie! But wait, there's TWO Rainbow Dashes! Double Rainbow... ALL THE WAY!! Its so beautiful! *snif snif* sorry. OH!!! Twilight's Level 3 team attack is activating! Take cover!!! Madame Pinkie did NOT see this coming! This game is sponsored by Sugar Cube Corner, Party Supplies Inc., Madame Pinkie, Party Planers of Equestria Organisation, The Cheese Sandwhich Polka Wagon, the Golden Oak Library... ok forget that one, and the Great and Powerful Trixie box wheel Wagon! Good luck out there, girl!"
"CMC, both Dashies, Derpy, and Princess Celestia (young) are KO'd! ...Another lucky KO takes out the P3 as he respawns, awww! But, I liked him! He is great at hiding behind counters!" As Pinkie said that, a brown stallion with a neat yet scruffy mane and a short untamed tail walks up from behind the counter. He wears a red bow tie and a vest that shows he works here with his hour glass "Bootie Mark" or cutie mark... whatever.
Doctor sits down next to us and whispers to me, "I didn't like your Bulk's sneak attack. Any way, if you can see it, Belle is indecisive. She will defend from Button, but won't attack him."
I nod to him then ask, "Weren't you the stallion in my cell? That screamed about my ticking?" He glares at me from under a hoof he placed on his forehead before a "yes" escapes his clenched teeth.
"Wait, cell? Were you in JAIL?!?" Sweetie Belle asked, destracted long enough for Scootaloo and Button to get rid of her Twilight. And me to counter Twilight's attack sending Wonderbolt Rainbow Dash flying. Get it? Because she's a- you'll catch up.
"I'm immortal. Discord prank. Luna and I were banished nearly the same time. I'm lucky to be sane! Can we focus now?" I said, clothes-lining Sweetie's Luna with Bulk and spin kicking a muscular hoof into Button's Rarity, leaving Button Mash with his Fluttershy once she died.
"Oh, what do we have here? A rocket launcher? Hey, MockingJay, I'm not your colt friend." he said, having his Fluttershy lock on to Young Luna before firing. As Sweetie excepted her fate, her Luna grabbed Scootaloo's Spit Fire. "If I'm going down, she's going down with me!"
"Hey, You will still have your Celestia!" Scootaloo said, crossing her hooves.
BOOM!!!
Bulk jumps in and jabs Fluttershy, who countered with "Bee Swarm". His Fluttershy flew off to gain distance.
Now all that stands is Me: Bulk Biceps, Sweetie: Celestia, Button: Fluttershy, Applebloom: Apple Jack and Big Mac. I figured she stood aside through the fight to thin us out.
"Oh my gosh! Who will win? Who will be the winner?! Tell me! Oh wait *giggle* you can't. You can tell real me. By the way, tick. tick. tick! Didn't Celestia say to introduce Jake... sorry... Lego Craft to the Elements/your sisters and their friends? AND ME!!!"
"Ah can't believe we fergot!" Apllebloom said, "umm... Thanks Pinkie?"
"Bee bop BOH. I am ro-bot! *giggle. snort.*"
"By the way, Pinkie actually louder and is more over-the-top party pony than this Pinkie."
"Not anymore, I got help! Now I look less of a stalker with a party canon and more like a friend... still with a party canon! lol!"
"Pinkie being Pinkie?" I asked, eye brow raised.
"Yes. Aparently, she even transcends video game data physics! That's a new thing for me..."
"Not for me! I'm the secret voice in 'Crusader Panic' that you can unlock! Online or offline, I make fun, funner!! pinkie! you're not allowed to reference our rivals! Well, its true! By the way, don't buy the game. Even if I recommend or say its life changing! It's BOOOring! Not really. It is super duper LUPER fun! But, don't tell my mirror pool me's. I suspect they are still out there! I wouldn't play that game if it was the last game in Equestria! How's that?"
We are having a conversation, with a recorded voice. It doesn't get get more in immerse than this! Everybody teamed up to take down Applebloom, but her constant switching and defending as Apple Jack and Big Mac proved challenging for some hits wont register. She then let out her Level 2 meter attack: hog tie my Bulk and Button as Fluttershy dodged a Big Mac/Apple Jack wrecking ball attack.
Sweetie's Celestia then grabbed the rope and swung AJ over her head and KO'd her. Now non of us can get any team boosts or supports. Its only us... and the arsenal of weapons I'm not standing close to, the odds are not in my favor. I mean Fluttershy with rocket launcher, Big Mac with a wooden bat, and Celestia with a giant war hammer! I mean seriously?! Oh wait, I found a gold coin.
"You've got to be kidding me! He found the random coin?!" Button said, I have no idea if he's serious or joking. My Bulk flips the coin and as the name implies: I have my Fluttershy back with a giant hammer. "Thank you Pinkie! Now then, looks like the Iron Pony status is off and fer the other three coin status is added!"
Suddenly my Fluttershy is Level 3 Bat Pony instead of a Anthro muscled Super Hero. "Fluttershy Level Up! With Iron Pony status gone, we reward ya fer yur luck! If ya count a vampire fruit bat a reward. I hate those varmits..."
I was about to move when my Flutterbat lost control! She attacked Sweetie's unarmed Anthro Big Mac with a bite before swinging the hammer at Applebloom's Wooden Bat Celestia. Button's Bulk tried to take her down with his rocket launcher only to KO the slowed Big Mac and the recovering Young Celestia. I regained control in time to square off with Button... or let her do something stupid.
"Beginner's luck."
"Nope, either I'm just good or this game is my dream game." I replied with a smirk.
"Whatever. Do you think you can deflect my rocket or dodge my attack?"
"I can fly faster. Come at me bro." I said with a "Hurry up already!" from Applebloom. He fires and I'm aware that he locked on me when Scootaloo and Button dropped their poker faces so... "Hey let go!" Button said as I flew forward, up, and behind his Bulk grabbing him with the long handle of my hammer.
"NOOOOO!!!" BOOM!!!
"Yee haw! The games winner is Box 01!!!"
"Do over. I WANT A DO OVER!! Play me, again!" Button shouted.
"Heh, that's what I said!" Box replied, "Don't worry, you'll play again! But, we have to go."
Button shook his head before showing a small smile and gave me a code, "This is my friend code. When you set up your Joyboy profile, add me and we will fight again." "Got it." I replied as his smile dropped a bit.
We got up and walked out with the three fillies, the Doctor waved us good bye, and Button goes back to the demo he played, and the three fillies high hoof and shout in unison, "CUTIE MARK CRUSADER HUMM-ON RETRIEVERS! YAAAY!!!"
