Button Mash and Sweetie Belle Love
Chapter One: Button's Start
“We need you to flank their ranks! We will hold them off as long as we can. Fight hard Valdus, fight true!” cried out general Talifcore. Valdus understood what must be done and fled the battlefield. After a short run later, he got to the side of the goblin army and brought out his most trusted Sword of The Divine. The large sword glowed with a blue aura swirling around it, purple runes carved with in the blade shined brightly towards the goblin group, alerting him of the threat that stood before him. The rain pounded against his black plated armor. His long crimson hair flowed in the raging winds like a burning fire. His golden eyes pierced the darkness of the stormy night. Streaks of lightning pierced the blackened sky in large blue cracks, lighting the field for a brief moment, followed by the deafening explosion of sound closely after. The roar and battle cries of the goblin army shouted out at him in goblin tongue. Valdus neither flinched nor shuddered from the waves of vile, little green creatures that have gathered before him.
“For the honor of my family, for the Queen of Zalinta, for my brothers in arms, I shall slay thee horrid creatures of Lucifer and send you back into the darkest depths of hell. Hear me now, monsters of horror! I am Valdus Taki! Son of Brujha Taki, slayer of the troll king of Demention, destroyer of the Red Hammer orc clan! I command thee, perish!” With a mighty swing of his sword, a large, lavender wave of mystic energy shoot forth from his blade, burning away the front lines of the goblin group in a single, terrifying blow. The little green creatures backed away in fear of his might. He smiled down at them, his golden eyes piercing deep into their souls. With a loud battle cry that shook the ground he charged upon, he sprinted at the army cowering before him, trying to prepare themselves for the onslaught that is to bestowed upon them.
“For honor, for glory, for fame, for love of home and land, I command thee, DIE!!!" He pulled back his sword and slayed the first goblin, burning it’s remains into ashes. He pulled his sword back for a downward slash, bringing the giant blade high above his head. A goblin snuck a short sword past his armor and pierced lightly into his front plating. This did not stop his attack, for when the large blade struck the ground, the entire battle ground shook violently as the earth around him broke apart in horrific, large series of cracks. “Now you disgusting vermine of this land, I command you to PUT THAT JOYBOY DOWN WHEN I AM TALKING TO YOU!!!”
Button Mash looked up quickly from his joyboy and up at his mom who stood towering over him, anger planted firmly on her face. “I am trying to tell you something, if you keep ignoring me when I am talking to you, I will take your joyboy away for the rest of the week!” Button looked up to her with pleading eyes.
“But moooooommm! I have to destroy the evil goblin army of Lucifer so I can save the elf princess Lilly and end the evil reign of Razeal The Wicked and free the people of the Ancient Woods while the hunter’s moon is still aligned with the planets!” Button’s mom looked at him confused and shocked for a brief moment before shaking her head.
“How many times do I have to tell you, if you keep playing these video games, they are gonna mess with your head! It’s already getting bad as is. Can you please listen to me sweety?” Button’s mom pleaded, her expression softening. Button fought inside his mind but put his game on pause and pouted up at her.
“Dolle naa lost!” (Elvish: Your head is empty) Button’s mom rolled her eyes and glared down at him.
“Dina!” (Elvish: Be silent) Button’s eye’s widen in panic and twitched at her in shock and confusion, leaning away from her.
“How many languages do you know mom?!” Her glare broke into a small giggle, sitting down in front of him.
“Like I said dear, I was young once too. Now as I was trying to say, we have been here in Ponyville for a few months now, and I still haven’t seen you make any friends. I’m a little worried about you dear” Button stood straight up again, looking at the ground and shifting to his left side uncomfortably. “I know you think you don’t need friends, but I think you would be happier if you tried hanging out with ponies your age”
“I know mom. . . I know” Button responded sheepishly. Button’s mom smiled warmly to him. She leaned down to him and gave his forehead a kiss, rubbing his mane.
“I love you dear, and I am only trying to look out for you. It’s my job to do so” Button pulled away from her, trying to fix his mane again.
“Mom, I’m not a kid anymore!” Button’s mom couldn't help but giggle to herself.
“Of course dear, you’re a big colt now” She got back up and started to walk out of his room. Button was annoyed about her always trying to get him to make friends. He knew all he needed was his joyboy. Friends seemed nice and all but you can’t go on adventures through ancient ruins and haunted woods with friends. That is what his joyboy was for. He can become the hero, earn the love and care of city’s all over hundreds of different worlds, save princess’, become famous with large bounties of fortune pilled as high as mountains. Why would he want to leave it all behind?
“Oh, and by the way Button. Your father is gonna be back in two weeks from his business trip. So Tuesday we’ll go to the store and buy him the watch you wanted to get him, ok sweetie?” Button was already back on his game. Button's mom frowned at him.
“Uhuh, sounds good mom” She rolled her eyes again and walked over and took the device from his hooves. His focus was broken instantly and made him enter a state of panic, making him jump up to make a grab for it. “MOM!! I haven’t saved it yet, please give it back! It shuts off after a short period of time!” She frowned at him as he tried jumping up and down for it, but he was far out of reach.
“Button, it is a sunny day outside and you have been in here all day playing on this. I think you should go play outside and enjoy the sunny day” Button’s mom explained. Button pouted at her with pleading eyes.
“There is nothing to do outside though! It’s SOOOOOO boring, please let me stay inside?!”
“No and that is final!” Button’s mom said firmly. He stopped jumping for his joyboy and slumped to the ground, frowning at his hooves. Button’s mom felt bad for him, as she normally did when ever she said or did something to make him pout like that. She put the joyboy down behind her and knelt down to him. “Sweetie, I know you’d rather play video games, your father was exactly the same” Button looked at her with a curious look in his eyes, letting her know she had his full attention now. “You take after him so much, it’s a bit surprising. You look just like him, and you act just like him. I wouldn’t be surprised if you become a charming young stallion some day, just like him!” Button’s mom snuggled his cheek playfully. Button showed slight disgust on his face, trying to push her away.
“Mom, stop it! That's gross!” Button’s mom sighed pleasantly at him, giggling again. She pulled away to see Button pouting at her. “I wish you’d stop doing that, mom.” She rolled her eyes playfully once more.
“Oh I guess I’ll think about it, dear. Now you go on outside and play. Enjoy the sunny day while you can” Button hesitantly nodded at her and gave her a hug. She smiled warmly and hugged him right back. He pulled away and went outside like he was told to do, looking at the ground ahead of him. Button’s mom sighed at watching him leave. “Colts will be colts I suppose” She reached behind her to grab the joyboy on the floor but couldn’t feel it. She turned slightly puzzled to see it wasn’t there any more. “I could have sworn I put it right. . . . . where did it go?”
Button closed the door and started walking down the dirt road. After he got about a hundred feet away, he looked towards the direction of his house, smiling victoriously. “Lasta lalaithamin!!” (Elvish: Listen to my laughter!!) He laughed almost villain like as he pulled out his joyboy. After collecting himself, he trotted over to a tree that held shade from the sun. He sat right down and turned on his joyboy. It lit up with life and shortly after started playing the 8-bit medieval gaming music he so loves to hear. He smiled as the main menu came onto the screen.
“Now let’s continue the story, I think my last save point was somewhere near chapter eight: Shadows of War. I hope I remembered to turn the auto save feature on” Button said to himself with concern. He pressed some buttons rapidly and a grim shadow loomed over him as he got to his saved file. “Three hours. . . . . three hours ago was my last saved file before it turned itself off” He felt a couple tears building up in his eyes. “Now I have to re-activate the Sword of the Divine and rescue those war prisoners all over again! I don’t even remember the puzzle for the Divine quest!” He looked up with a determined look stamped upon his face suddenly.
“Don’t give up just yet! You know Valdus wouldn’t. If he can take out the goblin prison guards once, he can do it again!” Button exclaimed to himself smiling. He selected the saved file and played on, completely absorbing himself into the new world and leaving the one he was in. As he was zoned out into his game, he didn’t notice that a pair of fillies were slowly coming towards his not-so hidden location.
“So what did you tell your dad?” Asked the earth pony with a silver mane. The other who had a tiara on her head smiled victoriously back at her.
“Well, after my dad said he wouldn’t, I just flashed him my little princess pouty face and I got him to buy me a new princess bed set. It’s gonna be here tomorrow. I can sucker my daddy to get me whatever I want!” exclaimed the other filly, her nose high in the sky as she spoke. Her friend snickered in response.
“You are SOOOO talented Diamond Tiara! I actually have to really butter my parents up if I want something. I wish I could get my dad to get me stuff that easily!” They giggled a bit and continued gossiping about random things. Diamond Tiara looked over to a certain shaded tree and spotted Button Mash playing on his joyboy. He looked like he was struggling, his face was scrunched up and his tongue slightly out as he put all his focus into what he was doing. She giggled harshly to herself and pointed a pink hoof towards him.
“Hey, Silver Spoon, look who it is!” Silver Spoon looked were Diamond Tiara was pointing to see it was Button Mash. Her lips curled in a mean smile towards him.
“Looks like it’s the other blank flank, all alone without a single friend. How pathetic!” They both laughed to themselves and approached him. He kept his eyes glued to the screen as they approached him, mumbling something to himself every now and then. His back was pressed up against the tree while the sounds of 8-bit battle music and combat was heard from his little hoof held device.
“Hey there, blank flank! What are you doing? Playing on your little box?” Diamond Tiara asked harshly as they got to him. They stood in front of him a good two feet away. His eyes never left the screen and didn’t acknowledge them in his presence, he only kept playing on his joyboy, which made them annoyed. “Hello! I am talking here!” Button still didn’t make eye contact with them.
“Hey, what’s up?” he replied shortly. He showed no interest when he spoke, which only angered them further.
“We are talking to you, blank flank! Don’t you dare ignore us! Don't you even try to act like you are better than us!” Silver Spoon spoke outward at him, raising her voice at him in a demanding manner. He glanced up at them for a brief second but went right back into his game.
“Yea I’m kinda busy here, so make it quick guys. I have to slay the goblin prison chief to rescue my fellow brothers in arms if I have any chance to vanquish the goblin army of Lucifer” They looked at him with confusion and looked at each other, lost for words. They turned back to them with cruel stares down at him.
“That sounds SOOO nerdy, gross! So it looks like you need to focus then, huh?” Diamond Tiara put her hoof on the screen of the joyboy and forced it down. “So what would happen if I-” She was cut short as she felt her breath become icy. The whole area around them became cold and a shiver ran down their spines, Button’s face could not be seen under his brown mane.
“Let go of my joyboy” he whispered faintly. Silver Spoon and Diamond Tiara raised a cautious but annoyed eye brow at him.
“What did you say?!” A dark, eerie aura hovered around Button as he slowly looked up to the two fillies picking on him. Hatred burned deeply in his golden-brown eyes. Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon took a step back from him, fear taking over their faces as they started cowering before his dreadful gaze. He stood from his spot and cast a dark, ominous shadow upon the pair of fillies.
“I said. . . . don’t touch my joyboy, EVER!” The two jumped back away from him, shaking where they stood. Diamond Tiara tried to look unaffected as she tried to talk him down.
“Whatever, w-w-we have other things t-to do an-anyway. Let’s g-g-go Silver S-Spoon!” They both turned tail and ran off, leaving Button under the tree. He watched them run off with his hate filled gaze locked onto them. Once they were out of sight a bead of sweat trailed down his face and his facial expression of horror caved in.
“Whoa, I didn’t think that would actually work! I mean Valdus can do it no problem, but some pony like ME pulling off the Terror Gaze of Lucifer! That is awesome!” He smiled to himself victoriously and gave himself a victory arm pump. After his excitement faded a little, he sat back down and picked up his joyboy again, just to see that he died in the game. His smile disappeared and a frown took it’s place. “What? No, NO! Dang it! Now I have to do that quest all over again!” He sighed in defeat. “Well. . . at least I didn’t lose too much progress. At least it should be easier this time”
In the bushes near by he could have sworn he heard a soft, girly giggle behind him. He restarted his game and while the game was loading he turned around to see who it was. He saw the group of bushes behind the tree but didn’t see anyone there nor any signs of anyone listening in on him. “Huh. . . I must be imagining things. Oh well” he shrugged it off and went right back into his game, which finished loading and his character stood in front of a mountain with a pair of giant iron doors in front of it. “Now let’s see if I can complete some quests before mom realizes that I have my joyboy!”
By the way for anyone who chooses to read this, please ignore the dislikes. Some how I have only one other reader to this series, and I have four dislikes. This shouldn't even be technically possible. So please do not judge the series from the dislikes, I believe this is a glitch, or people just didn't actually give the story a try and disliked it for no reason at all. I will try to figure out what is going on here
People do dislike things for no reason at all. It sucks.
Well, I'm happy to read a ButtonBelle fic! I'm even going to toss it a like to balance out the other stuff, how's that?
I don't care how common a pairing is if it's cute and it's written well.
Technically speaking, your writing could use a good amount of work. The story itself seems okay, but there are some writing issues that you are making that really should not be made.
Get yourself an editor before you go any further. That's my recommendation.
4144784 Oh I know that. If some one read it and disliked it, that is a lot more fair, but I mean 1 other viewer and 4 dislikes, I mean that is just complete bull! And like 5 minutes after I posted it. That is unfair but thank you, I will take a look at it and fix up some stuff. Do you mind sharing what is wrong besides the oppsy stuff?
4144825 There are a lot of places where you don't use the right punctuation, or there is some sort of punctuation that shouldn't be there. You also tend to forget to use commas at the end of your speech. for example. instead of adding a comma, for a small example: "hi," he said cheerfully. Few spelling mistakes here and there, but fairly good so far. I'll definitely be watching the story to see where it goes, but I have to go with
DJ GarV the Expert there. You kind of need an editor for this, or need to go over this carefully to get the worst mistakes out.
Hopefully that helped somewhat.
I am the one how knocks.
I LOVE IT!! Very good start!!
This fanfic has lots of potential especially after what you said I shall be watching this very closely also so far I love it!
Oh my! Where do I even begin!!
4144873 My main proof reader is in college for writing (lucky me, huh ) but right now he is facing important testing so he can't help me. I do all the work myself, although my proof reading skills are. . . . well obviously lacking. I'll take better care to do it though, thank you so so much for telling me all of that, thank you!
4144934 What do you mean by "I am the one how knocks?" knocks on what?
4145641 My friend. . . . .this is only the begining!
4145912 After I said what? I said many things all over this chapter But thank you none the less for the compliment
When I went to bed last night, my story was getting not-so-great attention, and it made me sad. I started thinking "Hey, a few people liked it, so just keep going no matter what" and now I wake up to THIS! Thank you everyone, a highly pleasent surprise! As a final warning to all, I am making this up as I go along and I am taking my time to write this, but I will do my best for it to all make sense, I hope you all have a wonderful morning/day/evening!
4147009 I don't know. I just saw it in a video called
Honest Trailers, walking dead. I'll try to make a link
4148453 Twas a reference to breaking bad
4149680 lol, what episode, what season? I have all 6 seasons on DVD.
4150195 I have no Idea. Never watched it.
4150199 ? Why? It is one of the best shows ever.
4150776 2 reasons
1. It seems stupid
2. too mainstream/ over-rated.
4150780 1. It's not stupid
2. You haven't watched it.
4150820 1. I'm a lost cause, no one can effect me
2. I have seen a small bit.
4150833 well it is not enough. You got to watch an episode to the end to see if it was good. You know, you where me. When I first watched MLP I didn't think I would like it. So after I watched a small part, I told my self I didn't like it. About a week later, I watched that same episode again, but this time whole. After that I was in brony denial. But I couldn't stop watching it. Until one day, I finally dealt with it. So I learned to not just judge something cause just how it looks. I understand if you still don't want to watch it, and I'm not urging you too. But that could happen to you too.
4150886 Re-read number one.
I MIGHT watch it eventually.
4150921 ok
MASHVISI0N
4150780
I'm trying to decide if I love you because Sword Art Online or hate you because Breaking Bad.
4153034 I love you long time
Hm. Good start. I'm going to fav it.
Read it.
Loved it.
MOAR!
Wow, I just saw this in the sidebar on the main page and this has come a long way from the fic I first saw with 5 dislikes and only 1 like. Congrats!
My god... I love this fic!! I can't wait to read the next chapter.
Man, make the next chapter! I wanna see your skills make this happen!
Another Button Belle fic!?
i.chzbgr.com/maxW500/6594051072/hEEB8FFDF/
WOW! congrats on getting to the popular list. Not a easy feat, one I doubt I could ever achieve :)
Wow guys, just wow. We have made 466 views and 85 likes together on one chapter alone and still climbing. ONE CHAPTER!!! when I first posted this I had 3 views and 4 dislikes, now look at us now! Thanks guys, and don't worry, another chapter is being made, I've already started it. Thanks every one for supporting this story. I am completely bafled by how well this story is doing with the lack of my professional editor. You guys are awesome! I hope to see you all in the future chapters ahead, this was a story just for me, but now I think I am gonna work on this series a little more than planned. I hope you all have a wonderful morning/day/evening. It is awesome to see this much feed back from you guys!
i know that feel where you just have no plan for a fic, instead you write what you want when you want, its my prefered way of writing a fic its just that i wish my fics raked in the views like yours did
4162194 Wow, you are the first person to say that. I say that all the time, it feels really super awesome to have some one actually say that back to me for a change . Thanks a lot my friend I normally write what I think my followers will like and just try my best with it, this was a huge surprise for me. Thanks for the huge compliment, means a lot. I hope you have a wonderful morning/day/evening!
4162211 well thank you, and i learned that writing fics isnt about followers i write what i want, if you like it stick around, but if you don't then get the crap out of here, if you only write what you think ppl will like then you fics will inevitably suffer from C.o.d syndrome where you just write the same thing over and over for the sake of being popular, let you fics out, take risks, do things diffrently, it may not make you popular (believe me i know) but writing will shure feel good and to me, thats all that matters.
4162246 Wow. . . . thank you for that, I was a little shocked to read something so insperational from a viewer like that. Still, thank you. You know, I think I will do just that then. I think for now on I will only write what I believe I should write. Not what my followers want, but what I actually want to write. I think now I am ready to write something I have had locked away for some time now. I hide it away because I thought people wouldn't be interested. But you know what? I think I am gonna do it anyway, thank you for your kind words, it really helped me out here
4162280 always glad to help brohan
Wow, I am like you I don't usually don't like shippings, but Button Mash and Sweetie Bell is the only one I like. And like Heavy said just write to write. I started writing myself and It is just for the fun. I keep adding more to my story cuz I have to much time on my hand and a wild (well semi wild) imagination. When I posted my story I was surprised it went well. Now back to you, Keep up with this and I may just start following you I really enjoyed this. AND I AM SO JELLY THAT YOU GOT SO POPULAR ON YOUR FIRST CHAPTER!!!
4162706 I will warn you now, if you are gonna follow me JUST because of this story then don't. Take a glance at my other work because I have a large variety of writing styles and story types. If you like this because of Button Mash and Sweetie Belle, or because it is cute, or popular, or romantic, then you should. . . . actually romance ties somewhere in my stories eventually either way, thank you for the compliment, I am a little shocked how well this is doing, and do not worry, working on the next chapter as is If you like this one then check out "See No Evil" it was popular at one point, romance, mystery, and a tad lengthy(er). Any older stories will have bad grammar, as a warning, I get better as I write, so older stuff isn't as well structured as now
4162726 Oh I looked, every story I enjoy I look at what else the arthur has. A few you wrote I don't find interesting though but I would follow to see if you make something else I would enjoy. I like how you wrote this one and I am not to concern about bad grammar. When I write I am terrible at it., so says my editor I have read a terribly written story all the way through. I read for the story not grammar, English is picky on that so i don't hold it back on anyone (Even if English is the only language they know lol)
4162756 There is not too many of your type out there, it is nice to see that there are people like that around still. Thank you then, I do have some really intensive stories in the works, and I can tell them to you to help you decide, I have another story still being worked out, a mystery. Some one hires and assassin to kill Twilight Sparkle and the assassin is unknown, they are ordered to get as close as they can to her before they kill her. Another is an 8 parts series with a whole bunch of stories to connect to it, Pony of Death is one of those parts, as well as One's Past is Another's future. I plan on remaking Darkest of Souls because it sucks so much a couple horror stories will be made some time down the road, a secret ultra story that I plan on getting it on Equestria daily, a story no one has ever done before (But if I say what it is, then other people will copy the idea) and just so you know, no one has ever done this idea before, I checked. 100% original then there is a couple romance stories that I might do (still working on the idea) a human high school tragedy, a short, one chapter sad story (planning on it being a tear jerker) and lastly a continuation of See No Evil, except it goes into detail about the main characters past. If that sounds like something you might like, any of them, then stick around, sit back, enjoy a tasty beverage of your choice, and enjoy. I write for me mostly, but I write these stories so that at least one person out there can say they had a good day because of me, that is the joy I feel when I do this, and that is why I do it. I aim to please others, that is my life
4162786 Wow, you have a lot planed there. Your dark stories I might not read, not something I like to read. Cupcakes I know....oh do I know and same with Rainbow Factory but I never read the fan fics about it. But the other stuff I will I have a series of stories that interconnect and like you and Marvel with Avengers I plan to set it up for something like that. I have 6 stories for its set up then its final showdown story and maybe just maybe more for that saga. I think I will follow and look at a few of your old work (the good and bad) and it is a shame there isn't many people like me who read for the story. I look past the grammar cuz I have always sucked at English classes. Good luck with all you endeavors with your fics and I do look forward to seeing what you have in store
4162843 But of course ^_^ Also if I could get enough interaction and more followers, I plan on writing a fun fun series I have planned for a while. It is called "Pony Versus Anime". It is a show down series of poeple's favorite anime characters against people's favorite ponies! I need more followers and people who will interact because I some one comments who they want to see next, if it get's enough likes then I will do that battle. I find a reason for them to meet up, and then they fight. I carefully analize both sides and deturmine the winner. Ponies consist of the show, popular Oc's, and OC versions of the show (For example, Smile HD Pinkie Pie, or Psyco Twi) I just need more interaction before I start it, but I would end up giving two chapters for an a nexample what the story is It should be good, but that is my biggest series planned, mostly because it would never end
4162885 lol that sounds like an interesting idea I thought of something similar, It would be more just what the people think should happen. Like what the character would react to situations and such. I only have 3 followers so that idea would have to wait for a long time. I still think what you thought of would be very interesting. Good luck with that
4162942 Thank you very much. I had a lot of fun talking to you! I wish you luck on your stories as well, I hope to see you in the future stories and chapters ahead. Have a wonderful morning/day/evening. As always, bye bye for now!
Can't that filly find another way to entertain herself?
Joyboy? I always figured since they use colt and filly instead of boy and girl, it would be called a Gamecolt.
I wonder if they have a joycube? Or even a Pontendo DS?
This is a fun read, notice a few minor errors, like "pilled" where 'filled' should be.
