The year was 2020 and the first new game came out for the new system called the Nerve Gear. A pony, who refused to be mentioned, made the device to introduce the ponies to gaming. However, ponies were still new to video games and didn't have much interest in them. That was when a pony decided to buy the game and try it out. When the pony played for about an hour, he told his friends that it was the best thing he ever played. Soon, ponies started buying the Nerve Gear and the new game. Almost every pony, mainly colts and fillies and a few adults, got the game and started to play it,There are only three ponies that didn't get the gam until today.
"I can't believe we got it!" said a orange pegasus filly excitedly.
"I know, it took a long time but we finally got it."Spoke a white unicorn filly.
"Come on, lets go home and get playing!"Said a yellow earth pony with enthusiasm.
"Remember, lets meet together as soon as possible so we can form a team," the orange filly told the other two.Soon the three fillies split up and head towards their homes.The yellow filly is an earth pony named Apple Bloom, she has yellow coat, a red mane and tail and finally wears a red bow in her mane.Apple bloom lives in an apple farm called Sweet Apple Acres.She ran on the dirt road and rushed through the house into her room.Due to the amount of bits the family earned in the grand galloping gala,she manage to get the Nerve Gear.She set it up and looked at it.The Nerve Gear was a headgear that looks like a black disc that covers half of the pony's head.She place the game disc into the helmet and put it on.Turns out there was a special surprise when every pony was in the game and the surprise started at 12:00. She looks at the clock and waited. 11:59, just two more minutes and she can log in.Five...four...Three...Two...One...
"Log in!"Apple Bloom yelled out and soon she was surrounded by a bright light.After a few seconds,she finds herself in a weird place that is nothing but white,apple bloom wonders if something happen until she heard a voice behind her.
"Hello player"Apple Bloom jumped a little when the voice came out of nowhere.When Apple Bloom turned around she only saw what seems to be a line, the line started to move a bit when the voice came back.
"Please state your name, player."The voiced asked with a monotone.
"Oh, well, my name's Apple Bloom"Apple Bloom told the voice her name and a circle appeared in front of her,it was made of white curved lines turning clockwise.After a few seconds,the circle disappears and the voice came back once more.
"Nice to meet you Apple Bloom,please stand still for a quick body scan."
"Um, why?"Apple Bloom asked the voice with a little worry.
"Do not worry,the bio scan will find the strengths and weaknesses in you.It will also determine the stats you will have and see what race you are."The voice told her,Apple Bloom let out a breath of relief and answered back to the voice.
"Alright , go ahead".Apple Bloom tried her hardest to stand still while the voice scanned her,in a minute the voice responded to Apple Bloom.
"Scan complete,Here are the stats I created to fit you."Soon a screen appeared in front of apple bloom showing the stats she has.It reads eight different things:heath points,magic points,strength,vitality,intelligence,mind,evasion and speed.The numbers next to them are in order of each stat:120/25/8/7/5/4/3/3.
"Are you happy with this?"The voice asked Apple Bloom.She took one last look at her stats and answered the voice question.
"Yes, I am happy with my stats."
"Then are you ready to enter the game?" The voice told Apple Bloom. Soon, a portal appeared next to Apple Bloom and she walked into the portal. The last thing she heard was the voice saying something to her.
"Welcome to equestria online, good luck.". Apple Bloom opened her eyes and found herself in a grassy plains.She looked around and notice what looks like ponyville.
"Apple Bloom you made it!"Apple Bloom heard someone called her name.She turned around and it was the two fillies from before.
"Hey Scootaloo,hey Sweetie Belle!"Apple Bloom waved back to her friends. Scootaloo is a orange pegasus with a purple mane,her wings were very little so she can't fly but she is fast on a scooter.Sweetie Belle is a white unicorn with a purple and pink mane that swirled like a yogurt.They had been best friends when they stood up with apple bloom at a party.All three of them are blank flanks,but they agreed to help each other find their cutie marks.They had formed a group called the Cutie Mark Crusaders.
"So, what do we do now?"Sweetie Belle asked her two friends. Scootaloo and Apple Bloom weren't really sure what to do. Then,Scootaloo came up with a idea.
"why don't we go to ponyville and and get some stuff?"
"Oh yeah, so how much bits do we have?"Sweetie belle asked.The three of them checked to see how much bits they have.
"I got 100 bits."Apple bloom replied.
"Same here"Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle said at the same time.Then they started their walk towards ponyville,soon more ponies started to show up.When the cmc made it to ponyville,they looked quite surprised.Everything looks exactly the same,except the weapon and armor shop.
"Lets go buy some weapons and armor girls."Apple Bloom told the her friends.They both nodded in agreement and walked towards the shop. Inside are a lot of weapons on the walls.Apple bloom notice a stallion at the cash resister and walked toward him.It was a gruff pony and it looks exactly like the pony that tried to cheat Fluttershy out of her bits for cherries.The pony noticed Apple Bloom coming towards him and asked her a question.
"Hi there, what do you want?"Apple Bloom thought for a bit and answered him back.
"I want a weapon and armor."The weapon pony than asked her what she wants exactly. Soon a screen appeared in front of her with a list of weapons and armor.Apple Bloom thought for a bit and decided to pick a short bronze sword,a bronze shield and a set of bronze armor.
"Okay, that will be 80 bits please." The sell pony told Apple Bloom, after another screen appeared with a question. Do you want to buy these? Yes or no?Apple Bloom picked yes and she had lost 80 bits and gained the things she bought.Apple Bloom thanked the pony and trotted away.
"I'm next!"Scootaloo yelled out loud and galloped towards the stand.
"What are you going to get sweetie belle?"Apple Bloom asked Sweetie Belle.Sweetie Belle shook her head as she was in deep thoughts and answered Apple Bloom's question.
"I think I am going to buy leather robe, a spell book and a staff just in case."After sweetie belle was done talking, scootaloo finished buying her equipment. Scootaloo was wearing a green cloak, dual bronze daggers on both sides and a bow and arrow on her back.
"Your turn sweetie belle."Scootalo spoked.Sweetie bell then went and brought a blue robe, a spell book and a wooden staff.She then walked to the others.There was a small amount of silence between them until sweetie belle broke the silence.
"so now what?"
"Want to fight some monsters?"Scootaloo threw in,sweetie belle and Apple Bloom agreed.The cmc went out to the everfree forest to fight some monsters,not knowing the trouble they were in.
