Spirit Shift


Back in the Saddle. New Updating Coming right to your face. Not currently Open for Commissions. Feel free to DM me about anything else!

T

Warning: Full of Gamer Luna goodness.

Princess Luna’s growing bored of powning the same newbs over and over. So, in an effort to rekindle her passion, she sends out an invite to several ponies, requesting them to join in a very particular game. When they accept the invite, all of the participants are pulled into their viewing systems and fall into a strange world. Luna appears on a screen telling them that they've been recruited into a real life video game by her and several other mysterious ponies.

With their gamer pride on the line, can the players figure out the identities of the other ponies running the show, and worse... beat them at their own games?

Inspired by the anime of the same name.

*looks at title* wait haven't I watched that anime? *clicks* CROSSOVER TAG!


*reads*

Liked, faved, subscribed.

Almost did before actually reading the chapter solely because of the concept.

~WARBLE WARBLE WARBLE WARBLE

Is this based off the anime?

Crossover? Oh I really hope that his is based off of the anime. This is going to be great :D

5087460 5087333 In a way. :trollestia: In a very clever way. But even if it wasn't you should still check it out. :scootangel:

5087611 I already watched the first season of the anime, it was great! :D

5087633 ikr I can't wait for season 2. But I was talking about the story.:rainbowlaugh:

Lyra’s face puffed up with laughs again, but she quickly pushed them down. Leaving only a wide smile in it’s place. “Oh, nothing popular. Just a little anime called… School Days.”
Bon Bon’s eyes shrank to pinpricks. She jumped far back in alarm. “NO WAY! My sister showed me that when I was younger and it scarred me for life. I still can’t watch school related anime!” Bon Bon bolted out of the room.

sounds fun:pinkiecrazy:

School Days...havn't seen that one. Should I be worried? :trixieshiftright:

5089485 No nono no no no you should definatly check it out. :pinkiecrazy: it'll be fun.

Wait.... height limit? robbing bank? tank with plane?... I smell Rooster Teeth reference XD

Also we got Twilight, RD, Pinkie, Lyra, Sweetie, Vinyl, Tavi... such a motley crew of characters to try and survive whatever game Luna has planned :D

If it was, why are we the only one’s here?

ones

Money? Any game they want? Golden console? These prizes.... I wish this game was real! It be awesome! :DDDDD

Couple more typos, but in one area:

“I may not need the bits,” Twilight began, but I still don’t intent to lose.”

missing open quote before 'but', intend

Hope you don't mind these, let me know if you do.

Whoever wins this, please recruit me so that i can win a golden console! I cant wait to read the next chapter!:pinkiehappy:

5093367
5093418 No it's alright, thank you.

5093448 It's cool, you won't have to. :pinkiecrazy: I've already wrote it!!

Lyra slid down the poll and stood next to her

pole

Well since this isn't a race, we can take out time.

our

Just like any well balance game,

balanced

“So,” she began “how’s everypony doing so far? Enjoying my little game?” she said, smiling.

missing comma after began, extra quote at end of line

Also, might as well have something Minecraft, since it's already the first sleeping arrangements. Maybe... first to make both a potion of healing and a potion of regeneration? I think that would be enough challenge, as one requires a ghast tear and the other a melon slice and gold. (Edit: Though healing may be too easy, as melons now spawn in jungle biomes. Fire resistance [magma cream] maybe?) Also, assigned teams of 2 might make it more interesting.

Edit edit: Also, it might be worth giving a brief tutorial on how things work, for those ponies/readers who don't know Minecraft.

okay 1st do you want us to suggest games like you had luna said, 2ed i think i know who 2 of the game masters are and last i really like this story hope to read more soon

Comment posted by Spirit Shift deleted Oct 4th, 2014

5093839 Sure throw those suggestions at me. I want you guys to suggest challenges. Everything Luna said was aimed at you readers.
Feel free to guess who the gamemasters are. Though I will not confirm nor will I deny your guess.:scootangel:
5093583 Thanks again! I've fixed them.

So many ideas of games to use... so many choices :)

5093923 for game ides so far all i can think of are cooking mama just to make the other freak out Sweetie Belle, boogie since its a dancing and sing game which you do 3 round of dancing or singing and can be done solo or be a as a two man or in this case 2 pony teams and it can be a mix of it all baroque which it is a game where you keep doing the game over and over again till you get all the alternative endings science papa just for twilight pokemon battle revolution this one you can use pokemon by copying the pokemon from you ds game only one of them or you can get a pre cared where they give you 6 pokemon and you battle with them theres bakugan battle brawlers game then spectrobes and naruto for a fighting part of the story the last one is nights journey of dreams i thought tis one might be a good one since it is about 2 kids taped in there dreams fighting nightmare by merging with nights a nightmare that is good kinda reminds me of luna.:twilightsmile: then my guess of 2 of the game masters are rarity because of you putting in your story “We have viewers? Oh my goodness, how’s my mane? I wasn't ready for this.” and the other one is zecora for you posting “I like it. That’s good for variety. Plus, unexpected challenges could be fun to see.”
hope to read more soon:twilightsmile:

Mario Kart but with ponies in it?

Always glad to help! :yay:

5100680 No. No Game No Life is and absolutely epic piece of anime that I've cleverly based this story off of. I strongly suggest you go watch it.

I absolutely LOVED the anime No Game No Life and the idea of someone writing a pony fanfic version of it is frickin GENIUS!

1. Lyra is just one of those ponies who likes to screw with you isn't she?

2. I just got mental imagery of Gamer Luna and Button Mash going up against Blank

That'd be one hell of a COD match

Shut it Darkstar! he he sorry that was my evil self :twilightblush:

3. No Doctor Whooves or Derpy?:fluttercry:

5100680 no we're talking about the anime that shares the same name as this fic

“My old treehouse back?”

:fluttercry::applecry::raritycry:

Too soon dude too soon

5104263 :pinkiecrazy: Don't be a killjoy now, Saber. Let it happen.
5104255 1) Yes. Wouldn't be a good group if we didn't have sompony like that lol.
2) Oh Yes! I have plans for a special chapter for that. It'll take some planning though.
3) What are you talking about? Those mysterious ponies could very well contain those two.

You just HAVE to have them play Guitar Hero! Vinyl would rock that shit!

Sweetie Belle’s new body. Everything about her was… curvier, to say the least

In short she became Rape-able

Make a Far Cry Challenge!

Sure would be entertaining to have them clear a Legend of Zelda dungeon, that would be a bit of Twi and possibly Sweetie's speed. *heh* Temple Run for Pinkie and Rainbow. For Vinyl, Project Diva and you could split them into teams. Mortal Kombat for Octavia and possibly Lyra. And we can't forget Smash Bros

Read this while listening to trance!

Have them play World of Tanks. This also could be milked for several chapters, as they learn how to play the game, upgrade their assorted tanks, and progress down the assorted "tech tree" branches.
They could start with tier 1's playing on Malinovka, Komarin, Himmelsdorf, Mines, and Province. Dash: probably would be one of those idiots who just charges across the middle of the map and usually gets killed within 2 minutes (at least in the start); primary tank class would be lights. Pinkie: unknown playstyle; primary tank class unknown. Twilight: strategist, and would think everything over before doing it (this would probably get her knocked out several times, when she starts thinking and doesn't notice being spotted until she is dead), possibly a camper; primary tank class would be one or two of each class. Vinyl: would probably prefer high alpha damage for trolling; primary tank class would be the ISU-152 (the BL-10, aka the troll cannon) Russian tank destroyer line and/or the Russian heavies. Octavia: unknown play style; unknown primary tank class. Lyra: unknown play style, but enjoys angering others; likely primary tank class would be SPG's. World of Tanks wiki: Here

5130400 hmm thanks for the idea. I've never played world of tanks before so this should be fun.

HARDCORE MINECRAFT SURVIVAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:pinkiecrazy:

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-Hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo:pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy:
Amazing! Definitely worth the wait! Im kind of sad octi failed, but then again, it was the closet fight ever!

Again, you asked for it.

god to know i can still do that,”

Missing open quote, 'good'

She quickly gathered a large amount of power in her horn all at one before stopping abruptly.

once

“Well, were were supposed to survive, right?”

we were

Lyra currently had her opponent, a large minotaur wearing a mexicolt wrestling mask, in a tight hold before slamming the pony to the ground.

minotaur or pony? (misplaced 'pony' again in the next paragraph as well.)

I am not afraid you, Akuma!

afraid of you (unless this is a reference to something, like maybe a badly translated line in the actual game)

Before Octavia could react, Akume delivered a painfully devastating uppercut to her back,

Akuma

He began charged a devastatingly powerful roundhouse kick.

began charging? began to charge?

Octavia struggled to pick herself of the ground.

probably should be 'up off of' or just 'up off'

...Is it just me or are bold tags barely distinguishable after the Libraries update?

5137640 Fixed, thanks. Some of this was typed up from my phone so please excuse the errors. Did you at least enjoy the chapter?
