Do I detect potential cameos of Them's Fightin' Herds? Or how about Skullgirls?

“Countess Coloratura.” Spike gasped, as said Countess began singing beautifully.

Do I hear "Why Don't You Do Right?"

Ok. I've just finished reading the first chapter, and I'm onboard to see where this will go, and see what possible references we'll catch.

Man you never disappoint.

Ready player one was a great movie
Can’t wait to see what you do with this story

Maybe you should try Dan Machi

that i like to see too

I low-key thought you were going to pull a "sword art online" with this story, great first chapter.

Finally! Someone else who knows Level Up! That was one of my favorite shows when Cartoon Network was going through that live action phase. If anyone else doesn't know what I'm talking about, it's basically video game characters coming to life and invading the real world while four friends fight to protect their home.

Total props to you including stuff from this show man.

So far, looks pretty good! Hope to see more in the future!

9811779 Thanks, not many do remember it, and it's difficult to find episodes on any video website

great job sweetie

not bad. defiantly something to read to the end.

also sword art online

Oh so that’s what it is! Thanks for telling us!

Question: are other characters such as Starlight, Trixie, the CMC, and the rest of the Young Six gonna in this story?

9812310 Yeah other characters will make appearances

Make more I love ready player one it’s a good movie and I want to see Spike becoming one of the most popular players like in the movie

May I justest adding a Hard Core Leveling Warrior to the cross over

This sounds epic so far and I can't wait to see where this goes.

Well, this is an interesting concept.

Let's see, a good intro chapter featuring Spike's first interaction with the Rainbooms. That's nice, they're apparently one of the top teams in the game, and they still show themselves to be helpful, caring individuals. I like seeing that.

Wildcard, you done it again! Alright, you've got my attention! I'll be keeping an eye on this story to see where it goes.

I also enjoyed that show while it was on CN. I didn't catch the intro movie, but the episodes I saw were fun to watch.

If that's the case, does this mean that maybe Pinkie will have a Party Cannon that works similar to Wyatt's Blast-a-Ton? Just a thought.

About to get Spiked up in here!!!

I haven’t read this yet, but why did you name him Ddraig? Maybe I’m just being an ass. If so I apologize, but my very first thought was that it’s misspelled. Am I wrong?

10481241 It's supposed to be the name of the Welsh Dragon

“ The Rainbooms. This team of girls have got a reputation around Eden as the team you don't ever wanna mess with. Because they'll mess you up bad. In this world they're known as Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Sunset Shimmer. Whoever they are in the real world, I hope they're as gorgeous as they are here. I hope. You might say I got a crush on them, but can you blame me? And I'm not the only one. I'd notice so many guys try to get close to them, but for some reason they always get turned down. I assume the girls are just playing hard to get just to keep their admirers coming back. But man, what I wouldn't give to have just a moment to speak to them.”

Yup I can blame you for being darn popular

Reading this for the second time. Still very good

Does anyone get the feeling this was inspired by ready player one?

If you looked at the synopsis you'll see I mention it was inspired by that book/movie
