"I've seen them all die right in front of me. Friends cut down in a hail of fire before my eyes. My own brother, sliced open in an attempt to save my friends a few more seconds of life. Princess Luna stabbed straight through her lungs. Ponies I could barely call acquaintances blown to pieces.They're gone. I'm all alone. There's no one left but me, the new girl, to finally track down and kill the stallion that murdered all my closest friends..."
"Twilight, I think you're taking these video games a bit too seriously..."
Chapters (7)
The descriptor is a bit excessive for someone whose weak constitution, namely mine, can handle in the morning. I'd bump up the rating or tone down the pitch.
If no one else has mentioned it however, great concept otherwise!
Not bad I like the concept, but this one line came across really ooc for me.
"She never doubted her magic, but she had had Rarity’s help the first time she tried the Cloud-Walking Charm, and wasn’t sure she could pull it off solo. "
Twilight doesent doubt her magical ability she just doesent like showing off. Maybe I'm just nitpicking but besides that good story.
595899 I knew it wouldn't catch in the morning, but I was in a rush to publish it. Ah, well. Thanks for the input, though
595999 I like to imagine that in the episode "Sonic Rainboom," after Twilight gave Rarity her magical wings, she was too tired to enable the others to walk on clouds by herself. As payment for the wings, Rarity helped her in the casting. Thanks for nitpicking, actually, it helps!
596080 ah I see well that makes a lot of sense actually. Wow I swear there was only 1 chapter like an hour ago
I'll put this on my read later since I have to go to work now, but I look forward to finishing this.
596360 I derped and forgot how to upload multiple chapters at once
But, they're all up now! Thanks for the fave, too!
Knew it!
596762 Heh, eeyup! It was obvious, but still, it had to be done. Who else had that kind of aiming skill?
Dear Celestia,
I saw a stallion's legs spread-ed far apart on the battlefield.
I never went back to war that day.
597781 Something tells me that he wasn't alive during that...
Plays like a dragon+No cutie mark=
597858
Why didn't I think of that!?
Just make sure not to really blast apart the screen in real life, ok Twilight?
599670 No promises.
I can't believe the suicide plan failed, oh well nothing is guarnteed in the world of Haylo.
DERPY!
603217 Nnope, nothing is guaranteed. That would explain my sister, who has Derpy-style eyes, being the single most menacing Halo player I've personally fought in splitscreen. Uhm, could you please hide those spoilers? You don't have to, but it would be an A+ in my book.
Ha "At a range, does less damage than hurtfull words." 1)Nice staying in Bungie style of includding humor at some descriptions [ ] or 2)If it came from a manual or something, thanks for includding it.
[At 0% damage: The player cannot cause any kind of damage, only glare and think angry thoughts. 0 lives: No respawns like real life, but at least your using it to kick ass across the universe and not hanging around your million dollar penthouse.]
609314 Totally original, as far as I am aware. And, if ya don't mind, could you clarify that second part up a bit for me?
This XBucks controller sounds worse than the 360's controller. Sorry but I prefer the Dualshocks. And why the hell do I have to hold down the button to turn on the controller, it should turn on with the consol.
Why doesn't anyone give love to the Gamecube, Genesis, PS1, Dreamcast, Saturn and other consoles in these types of fics.
Also I think Halo is just a little bit overrated. Good fic. I love it. Also what is up with XBox Live, why isn't it free to access like PSN. Way to go Microsoft to line your already thick pockets. RICH BASTARDS!! AGAIN
LOVE THE FIC!!!!
700529 Dualshocks won't work with hooves. You'd need suction cups to secure them onto a pony or else they can't play, which gives Spike a fair amount of difficulty.
The reason we don't do that is because a fair amount of us have no experience with thm. I've never used a Dreamcast, Genesis, Saturn, Atari, etc.
Eh, to each their own. Personally, I can't stand playing Halo, but I still like it. I prefer RPGs and hack 'n' slash games. Thanks for the praise though. I dunno; I've never tried XBox Live. Not really that interested in it. Thanks for the fave, though.
Why does nearly everypony but Luna get a detailed description of how they were killed.... is she not good enough, and why doesn't she have an emoticon, she is the best pony and even twist gets one
702801 I didn't really feel like describing a silent killing. Any player of Halo knows there's little enough to be said about it. In regards to the emoticon, there's quite a few that people use that, while not in the standard set, can be found somewhere on the Internet. They have Discord, Luna, the CMC, etc.
Oh my god, I kind of want to steal Balloonatic as a screen name for things. That's just awesome.
714826 Go right ahead
953020 Imagine a lap-desk with two plungers for control sticks, big colourful buttons, and the Xbox logo in pink instead of green. Actually, don't, that's still pretty hard to imagine...
596080 hows that work? Only Twilight can cast like that, and thats only because her special skill is magic. Rarity can only cast the diamond hunting spell because her special skill...diamonds?
955056 She just contributed the energy; Twilight was worn out from the wing spell, so Rarity donated a portion of her magical energy. Essentially, Twilight "borrowed" some of Rarity's magic.
700529 Microsoft also gives far far better servers. And Halo is sooooo fun to play with friends, especially when their in same room. They choose 360 because 360 is currently the most popular console (Wii has the lowest players, but ironicly far higher owners)
And 360 has great controllers, far better then ps3 (not my fault cause experience, I played ps2 for 8 years, 360 remotes felt instantly more comfortable. Its terrible for FPS, but all consoles are, only a mouse and keyboard can play FPS well.
And the button in the centre, it does turn on the controller, but if the console isn't on, it also turns on console.
No I'm not a console gamer, im all for pc gaming.
956098 Nope, he's too busy being *dons his sunglasses* stoned.
Fluttershy, as the highest ranked of the six
You literally just said Pinkie was rank 3, and the Flutters was rank 6. *slow clap*
960429 An error!? Which chapter? I shall smite it with the fury of a thousand suns!!
Also, thank you kindly for pointing it out.
Edit: I feel stupid. I only just noticed that the chapter number appears on that little bar there. 'Tis fixed.
Despite being a gamer myself, I never once imagined a battle quite so epic as what I just read in any game, and with another promising one coming up shortly
This fic has my undivided attention right now.
1369182 Heh, apologies for taking so long.
Try the other works I have, they're worth continuing. Also, glad you liked it!
Dear sweet Luna... how long has it been since I've read this fic?
Lol "Twi-Fi"
I can just imagine her shouting this into the mic when she logs in: "Isn't this exciting are you excited cause I'm excited I've never been so excited well except for the time I saw that I won for the 100th time and I went *deep gasp* but I mean really who can top that?"
Pinkie, this is a fanfiction not an anime
:so?
714826 not if I steal it first!
But maybe I'll let you have that one and I'll take the other one I liked.
956098 well, seeing as the classic pac-man split-screen bug turned half the screen into a mass of discord, that would explain the screenname.
Lol when you said Split-screen's player was two miles away from Twilight, that narrowed things down a bit. I still didn't guess ... Derpy Hooves
meh, I prefer SONY of Microsoft. Mostly cuz with the PSN, you don't have to pay for multiplayer. Other than that, I stick to computer gaming.
Red book- Hyper Beam. The most expensive spell of all. Fire a red-hot rail of death in a perfectly straight line across any kind of distance. Guaranteed kill on contact. Will only work five times before draining reserves. Must rest after use.
sounds like a Poke-mon move, acts like a Spartan Laser, and more or less is a kamehameha....... I CALL DIBS NEXT ROUND!!!!!!!!!
I'm going to go on a limb and say that this "Split-Screen" is Sombra
I'm probably wrong, but who cares? I want to guess randomly.
1369135
in this, we are agreed.
Derpy eh? apparently she hasn't seen MY sniping skillz! (jk, I'm almost as bad an aim as Church in RvB) However, I am pretty good at sneak sticking my opponents :3
well, that clarifies who Bluebox is, other than that, I knew the rest :3 Woo! the Doctor plays haylo!
now to post my username that I just came up with: Fre3LanceR
701049
RPG and hack and slash games? have you played Fable?
3389015 I was guessing button mash
...it's celestia isn't it?
Huh all three of my guesses were wrong
Button mash
Celestia
Blueblood
But nope it's the muffin queen herself!
Of course it was Derpy. I guess the name "split screen" came from her eyes?
Also Derpy is OP.
