> Chaotic Equestria Girls 2: Journeys into Perim > by Roboman3000 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1 Canterlot Girls get's Chaotic > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was a bright afternoon at Canterlot High School and it's been almost a month since Sunset got her code to Chaotic and Tank's attack on the Rainbooms. Classes were over and most of the students were at the cafeteria lunch, most of them were there to play Chaotic And Sunset Shimmer was sitting on a table with a huge orange-red boy about to play the game with their laptop. "Are you ready, Big Mac?" Sunset asked the boy named Big Mac. "Eeyup." Big reply. "Ok, team ready to go." Both computer screens show two chaotic battle teams. Sunset's team of Underworld creatures against Big Mac's team of Danians. "Let's get chaotic." Sunset declared and Big Mac nodded. The online battle between the two began and as it went on, each of their creatures disappeared until Big Mac's last Danian creature took down  Sunset  Underworld creature. Sunset slumped in defeat, "Aw man, I was so close." Big Mac pat Sunset on her shoulder. "It's okay, you do better next time." He then gathered all his things and left the table. Sunset packs her laptop into her bag and walks to another table where all her friends are. Tom and Rainbow Dash were sitting opposite from one another. Each of them had all their chaotic cards out on the table and their laptops open. "Okay Rainbow Dash, final offer. I trade away my scan of Gigantroper for your Flame Gate location card." , "You drive a hard bargain Tommy boy, but you got yourself a deal." Rainbow agrees and hands over her card to Tom, then Tom sends his Gigantroper scan to Rainbow's online deck. " I still don't get why you would go through all this trouble for an underworld card you will never use?" She asked him. "Never say never, even some cards you wouldn't usually put in your battle deck can give you an advantage. If you use them at the right time." Tom told her. He then notices Sunset walking towards their table. "Hey Sunset, how was your match?" "I lost. I'm sorry you guys, I try to use the tips you guys gave me but it all falls apart." Sunset's friends quickly got off their seats to console her. "Thanks, guys but I just feel a little down, not sad." She assures her friends as she gently pushes them off of her. "I think I just need a break from these battles I've been having." "What do you mean?" Fluttershy asked. Tom got off of his seat and explained to the girls. "Will, ever since Sunset got into Chaotic, every chaotic players has been challenging her to a lot of drome battles." "And since I am still new to all of this, I kept getting cream." Sunset finished with a frown. Twilight places a  hand on Sunset's shoulder. "There there. Why would all those players want to battle you so much?" "They are trying to figure out how a beginner like Sunset got into Chaotic," Tom said. "Yeah, I think I just need a break for today." Sunset exclaimed, "Come on guys, let's head to Sugarcube Corner before heading home." She suggested to the others and luckily they all nodded. Suddenly a ring noise can be heard coming from Rainbow Dash's laptop. As she went to check on it, the same ring noise was coming from each of the girls' cellphones minus Sunset. The girls pull them out to check. "It looks like the sound was an email from Chaotic." Twilight comment. "Me too, I got chaotic mail." Rainbow Dash states as she opens the mail, as does the rest of the girls who check from their phones. The message shows a string of random letters and numbers. "Are these codes?" Fluttershy asked. "Ah got some too." Applejack said. "Me too." Pinkie Pie stated. "Strange, I've never seen this kind before." Rarity looks puzzled. Tom and Sunset look over the codes each of their friends got, then they each realize what this is. Tom asked the girls. "Hey, guys by any chance did you all win a match earlier today?" The girls looked at each other and nodded, "Yes we did." Twilight answers for them. "Yeah, why do you ask?" Pinkie question. Tom and Sunset both gave a wide grin on their faces. Sunset turned to the girls, "Do you remember how I got in chaotic?" "Yeah, you were getting ready for school while you got a mysterious message that gave you some code that you uploaded into your scanner that ported you to... " Pinkie stopped, then her eyes widened in realization. "Oh... " Rainbow spoke next. "Do you guys mean?" Sunset nodded, "Yet, congratulations girls. You all have your own passcodes into chaotic!"  The six girls all scream in joy over this news, minus Fluttershy who just cheer quietly. Tom quickly hushes them. "Wow, I still can't believe it. I mean I knew you all would get your codes one by one, but you all getting them at the same time is unbelievable." "You really mean it? We can really go into the actual game and play as the Chaotic creatures themselves?" Twilight looked at her two friends who nodded reaffirming her statement, The nerdy girl beam in joy. Fluttershy continues, "And we get to see all the wonderful creatures that live in Perim." "Alright Girls! Let's Go!" Pinkie cheered as she was about to pull her scanner until she was stopped by Rarity. "Wait, right now? Should we wait until I put on some makeup or put on something more proper?" "Yeah, I have to agree with Rarity on this," Twilight said. "Well not with the whole dress-up part, but we can't just drop everything and leave. I mean after Sugarcube I have homework to do, feed Spike, and work on a few science projects." Applejack continued, "Yeah, Ah have farm work to get to. Can we just wait until tomorrow?" "Sorry guys, but those codes are only good for today. So, it’s better to use them now." Tom told them. Sunset spoke to them next, "Don't worry girls, remember the codes will only send a version of you too chaotic, and the real us will still be here." She continued, "Come on girls, this will be a great new experience for all of us." Applejack and Twilight still look unsure about any of this but the others give them a reassuring nod as they want to go, "Alright SugarCube, Ah guess one trip can't hurt." Applejack said. Twilight agrees as she pulls out her own scanner, "So, how does this work again?" She asked. Tom and Sunset got out their own scanners to show them, "Just type the codes into your scanner and put the button. Me and Tom port with you girls on the count of three, okay?" Sunset instructs them. The Rainbooms each enter the code in their code scanners, "Ready!" They all said. "Alright girls, your next step as chaotic players will start in. Three. Two. One!" Tom said as he pushes the button on his scanner and the rest of the Rainbooms follow his lead on their own. Once they did, the screen on their scanners went completely black. Silence filled the room as Rainbow could only say. "Well, that felt anticlimactic. What now?" "We just wait until our scanners start to beep and when that happens just push the glowing red button," Tom explained. "Really? that's all?" Twilight asked, irritated. Sunset places a hand on Twilight's shoulder. "Don't worry, Twi. Our chaotic-self are already at the teleport center and are probably freaking out seeing chaotic for the first time." Pinkie pulls Sunset into a hug. "Well, I can’t wait until our other selves get back and I hope that we had a lot of fun." "Well, darlings If that's all can we all head to Sugarcube Corner and then home?" Rarity asked and the others nodded as they grabbed all their things and left the school cafeteria. - Rewind Back To A Few Second- "Alright girls, your next step as chaotic players will start in. Three. Two. One!" Tom said as he pushes the button on his scanner and the rest of the Rainbooms follow his lead on their own. Once they did, their vision got eclipsed by streams of blue and white codes. Twilight, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie opened their eyes and saw the Chaotic port court. With multiple Teens like them porting in and out here, flying robot drones serving players some food, and the huge TV screens showing chaotic creatures battling one and another. To say that the Rainbooms were amazed at all of this, would be an understatement. "This. Is. So. AWESOME!" Pinkie and Rainbow Dash both shouted out loud which gained the attention of a few other players, who looked at the Rainbooms with some annoyance. "Great, some annoying newbies." One said and others walked away. The rest of the Rainbooms glare at Rainbow and Pinkie for embarrassing them."Wow, any louder you two?" They all turned around to see that voice came from Tom as he and Sunset were standing right behind them. "I think the city of Kaizeph couldn't hear you." Sunset walks up to the girls, "Yeah I know, Porting for the first time can be weird but hey at least it's not as weird as going through a magic mirror and coming out as a strange creature." She jokes, "Anyways, Rainbooms Welcome to Chaotic." Twilight looked around and commented, "Wow, this place feels like something out of a sci-fiction franchise." "This place is absolutely breathtaking." Rarity said in amazement. Suddenly, one of the service droids floated toward the group. "Hello, welcome new Chaotic players. The six of you will have your first drome matches in 10 minutes, I suggest each of you head there immediately." The bot told them. "Don't worry, me and Tom can take them to the dromes," Sunset assured the droid. "Wait, we're doing a match right now?" Twilight question. "Do we really have to?" Fluttershy asked in worry. "Yeah sorry," Tom told her as he and Sunset pushed the other Rainbooms in the direction of the dromes. "It's the first thing every newbie has to do. Now come Let's get you guys to your matches before you will have to forfeit." He said as the group left the port court. > Chapter 2 C is for Twilight(Rewrite) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The group arrived outside the port court to a large open area. Each of the six girls were standing on different conveyor belts that go off in different directions. Tom looks over his scanner to check on the girls' battle schedules. "Ok, according to this, Twilight's battle will be battling in the Crellan Drome, Applejack will be in the Amzen Drome, Fluttershy you're in the Oron Drome, Rarity is at the Tirasis Drome, Rainbow Dash will be fighting in the Imthor Drome and Pinkie is at the Chirrul Drome." Tom and Sunset lead the girls to a conveyor belt that will lead them to their respective dromes. Twilight then asked, "So, is there anything we need to know before we battle?" "Well, I don't know who your opponents are going to be, but they will mostly use creatures that are opposite from your favorite tribes." Tom explained to them. "And your first battle will be a one-on-one match so your best move is to choose your strongest creature and to use ten locations to help that creature." "Okay, so far it makes some sense." Twilight remark. "I'm not sure about all of this, girls. Do we really have to fight?" Fluttershy asked her two friends. "I quite agree with Fluttershy too." Rarity vocalizes. "I really am not looking forward to turning into a creature and fighting just yet." Sunset walks up to the two Rainbooms and talks to them. "Don't worry girls, trust me this whole thing is weird at first but you get used to it." Rainbow Dash placed her hands on both her friends' shoulders. "And besides we are the best players around, all we have to do is to win our matches." "Well, Ah still don't know about all of this but Ah always ready for a challenge!" Applejack stated, pounding her fists. "This is going to be so much fun!" Pinkie beam. Twilight, Rarity, and Fluttershy look at their friends who gave them reassuring smiles, they turn toward one another and then nod back. "Okay, we're in," Twilight said. "Alright girls, just follow your conveyor belt to your drome." Tom told the girls and they went off to their respective dromes. "Best luck you guys!" Sunset waves her friends off. (With Twilight) Twilight had arrived at the Crellan Drome, a huge blue building. She walks in the open red door of the drome to a black room inside. Suddenly a slot popped out from the floor and the chaotic revolver appeared. "Twilight Sparkle, Chaotic Code Name: Merlina, Step forward and Dock your scanner." Doing what the revolver said, Twilight steps forward and places her scanner on the slot then the chaotic battle board appears. "Whoa!" Twilight said in wonder, "This is just like the one online." She starts playing around with the squirrels, showing her the chaotic cards she has online, "And my whole online deck is here." "Your opponent will be Klaybourne, Chaotic Code Name: Klayotic, Step forward and Dock your scanner." The boy named Klay stepped forward and placed his own scanner on his slot. He looked over at Twilight, gave her a smirk, and spoke to her, "Well hello Newbie, nice to beat you." His comment made Twilight frowned and immediately she knew that he isn't a very nice guy. Before Twilight could set up her deck, she got a call from her scanner. It was Sunset who called her, "Twilight listen be careful with Klay. He plays UnderWorlders and will use any dirty tricks to win," She warns her. Twilight nodded, "I understand." "Okay, good luck Twi. I need to call the other girls so bye." Sunset hangs up and Twilight's scanner screen turns black. Twilight focus now returned to her battle board as she was in deep thought. 'Okay, first thing first, I need to choose my creature. The only strong creature I have is Najarin. He may not be the toughest creature around but he is the best I got." Twilight selects her Najarin card. 'If he is using Underworld then I should place Overworld Location to help Najarin. Like Lake Ken-I-Po, Ravanaugh Ridge, and the OverWorld Embassy.' Twilight starts loading these cards in her randomizer with a few others. , , 'Next what kind of BattleGear and Mugic I should use on Najarin?' She looks through her battlegears, 'The Staff of Wisdom is an obvious choice for Najarin but that way too obvious. So maybe I'll try this,' Twilight Requip the battlegear on her Najarin. 'And for mugic; Hymn of the Elements.' She places the mugic. When Twilight and Klay finish the revolver announce. "Players, lock your decks." They push the button on their scanners, and both screens reveal their own battlefields. Twilight had her Najarin card on her side and Klay had an underworld creature in red-suited armor with two horns on his helmet, this creature was called Atrapol. Klay starts to laugh, "Seriously?! You chose a muge like Najarin as your creature?" He mocked, making Twilight madder. "Don't underestimate Najarin!" Twilight yelled to him. "Whatever, my Atrapol will destroy that Overworlder." He stated. Back outside the dromes, everyone in the port court was watching the 6 Rainbooms' battles from the huge TV screens. Tom and Sunset were watching with the other players. "I hope the girls will be ok. Especially since Twilight and Fluttershy are going against some real scumbag players." Sunset said. "Don't worry Sunset. Twilight and Fluttershy are tougher than they look, plus everyone else is battling against some more friendly players, including some of my friends." Tom explained to her. "Hey guys," The voice came from Kaz who walked up to Sunset and Tom. "Hey Kaz," Sunset greeted him. "What's up Kaz," Tom greeted his oldest friend with a handshake. "I heard six newbies ported to Chaotic at the same time and I came to see if these new guys will be any competition." He told them. Tom looks back at Kaz with a smirk as he will explain. "Well, funny you said that Kaz. Those new players are me and Sunset friends from Canterlot," "Plus they are girls," Sunset added with her own smirk. "Really!?" Kaz asked in shock and then looked quickly back and forth. He then whispers closer to the two. "Do they have powers like Sunset does and are from the same world that she is from?" He asked. "Well, yes and no. The girls do have equestria magic but they are humans like you and Tom." Sunset explained to him. "No way," Kaz said in shock and amazement. "By the way, have you told them about what happened to their magic here?" He asked. "Not yeah," Sunset said. "I hope to tell them about this when we get to Perim, so we can find out how it happens... " "Guys, we can talk about this later when the girls' battle is over." Tom hushes Kaz and Sunset as they watch the Rainbooms' battles. Back inside the Crellan Drome. The chaotic revolver is about to choose who will be the attacker. "Merlina, Because this is your first battle here you will be the attacker. Activate your location randomizer." Twilight spots the location randomizer and starts to spin it. Her location deck moves around quickly until it stops at a location that looks like a castle underground. "The location is Castle Pillar." "Ha Ha Ha! Out of all the location cards you could have got You get an underworld location, man you have the worst luck newbie." Klay mocks her. "Hey, don't forget Castle Pillar will give a mugic counter to the creature with the highest wisdom. Namely my Najarin." She stated with confidence. "That may be how it works back home but in the drome it’s a lot more complicated." "Merlina, Choose your attacking creature and its target." Twilight looks over her screen. "That's an easy one, Najarin attacks Atrapol!" "Very well, now, touch your creature card." Twilight placed a hand on her Najarin card and her screen disappeared then a stream of white energy wrap itself round Twilight's body. Klay did the same to his creature card and the same white energy wrapped around his body. When it ended Twilight change into a long blue skin old man with a long beard and wearing a sorcerer outfit. And Klay was changed into a hulking man in red armor. Twilight, now Najarin, looked himself over and was both shocked and amazed. "I can't believe it, I'm Najarin. This is so amazing, I wonder if this is what it is like for Sunset and Tom when they do this?" Najarin asked himself. Klay, now called Atrapol, narrowed his eyes at what Najarin just said. "Sunset? Tom? "Hey, you wouldn't happen to be friends with two players named MajorTom and Phoenix Flame?" He asked. "Well, yes, you know them." "Ha, those losers, they are the most embarrassing things to ever happen to chaotic." "You take that back!" Najarin yelled. "If you beat me maybe I will, if you can. Let's get chaotic!" Atrapol declared. "Najarin will battle Atrapol in Castle Pillar, let the battle begin." The Chaotic revolve began to spin like crazy and a growing white flash enveloped the whole room. Najarin finds himself walking inside of Castle Pillar looking around it. "I still can't believe I am actually here as Najarin and I am in Castle Pillar! This is highly fascinating!" He said. “Ok, first thing first. I need my battlegear, how do I summon? Maybe if I just focus.” Najarin closes his eyes and holds out his hand, then out of nowhere his battlegear ‘The Orb of Unda’ appears in his hand. “I did it!” Najarin cheer. Then suddenly, Parts of the castle start to fall on top of him. "What the... ?" Najarin quickly moves out of the way but then the two sides of the walls push themselves toward him with him narrowing escape. "What's going on?! Why is Castle trying to kill me?!" Najarin asked in a panic. Atrapol landed right behind him. "It's what I told you earlier, Sweetie. In the game getting that mugician is simple as that but here the location will not make it easy and needn't will I. Rock Wave!" Atrapol called out as he slammed his fists on the floor and massive boulders rushed toward Najarin. Najarin tried to run from the attack and avoided it but he got hit a little. 'What should I do?! How am I supposed to attack without any cards? Do I just say the attack?' Najarin thought to himself and then called out an attack. "Here goes nothing. Power Pulse!" Green energy fist shot out of Najarin's hands and hit Atrapol. "Woah, it actually works," Najarin said in amazement. "Don't get cocky, Overworlder," Atrapol said dusking off the Power Pulse attack. "The battle is just getting started." He then jump and shouted. "Earth Pulse!" He slams his fist and a wave pulse attack pushes Najarin to a wall. Atrapol then fired multiple attacks at Najarin. Najarin tries his best to run away from the attacks but they quickly catch up to him. The attacks were about to hit him until Najarin shot up at the sky. "Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! I-I flying? I'M FLYING!" Najarin cheered in joy as he soared all around the castle until a buzz saw flew toward him and he quickly dodge it. "Right, still got to be careful. Let's try this, Hydro Balls!" He hit Atrapol with multiple water ball attacks. "I did it!” Najarin stated holding his battlegear. "Ha, I'm glad to see you getting the hang of this, newbie. Too bad you never get the chance to use that battlegear!" Najarin and his battlegear got destroyed in the process. "Take this! Force Strike!" Atrapol release a powerful force attack on Najarin. "Rip Tide!" A torrent of water shot out of Najarin hands and hit the Force Strike attack. Both attacks clash and the force from the impact sends both creatures flying. Back in the port court, Tom, Sunset, and Kaz watch what just happened in the battle. "What just happened? How did Atrapol destroy Twilight's battlegear like that and how did her Najarin use Rip Tide?" Sunset asked the two chaotic boys. Tom answered, "It must be from Atrapol special ability, when his power is higher than his opponent he can destroy their battlegear but luckily Twilight uses Hydro Balls, an attack that gains you water attacks if your wisdom is higher." "Even with water on her side, Atrapol is still way too strong for Najarin. Twilight is going to need more to have any chance of winning this." Kaz stated. Sunset looked on at her friend's match, "Come on Twilight, I know you can do this." Najarin ends up in another room of the castle. He got back up and looked around his surroundings. "This must be another part of the castle." He said, then he walked toward an open door room.  "Atrapol is still way too strong, I need more power for this." ‘My Hymn of the Elements Mugic could grant an element but I am going to need more to win and Najarin doesn't have that must Mugic counters. What should I do?' Twilight thought inside Najarin's head. Suddenly the entrance closes behind him and spikes pop out of the top then slowly move down to crush Najarin. "Oh no, I failed for another trap! What should I do? How do I get out of here?" Najarin began to panic as looking around for an exit but then he spotted something. He walked close to what looked like a puzzle board. "Is this a puzzle? what is it doing here?" Najarin question, "Hmmm, I wonder," Najarin began to work on the puzzle. After completing it, the top stops and moves back to its place. "I see, Castle Pillar does give creatures a mugic counter if they have high wisdom, so it leaves traps and clubs to test wisdom." The door opened again but standing in front of it was Atrapol with his Doomhammer. "No place to hide, little Najarin." He taunts him. Out of nowhere, Najarin quickly uses an attack, "Quick Exit!" And a bright light appeared around the room. When the light died down, Najarin is no way to be seen. Atrapol looks at the spot where Najarin once was and starts to growl. "I WILL FIND YOU, YOU SPINELESS OVERWORLDER!" Najarin was moving around the castle to reach the top. He got through most of the traps and other puzzles until he reached the staircase. 'Ok, I most to the mugician. Wait a minute.' Twilight then realizes something. 'How do I know that, and to think of it, how do I know where I going? It like my body and part of my mind know this place.' Najarin finally reaches the top room where five colorful sphere balls appear floating around. Najarin quickly locks the door and look at the glowing balls. "Now, This must be the last puzzle but how do I solve it?" Najarin looks at the color each spheres is, one was blue, the other one was red, brown, yellow, and purple. "Wait a minute! The colors on the spheres must represent each of the four tribes. Blue is for OverWorld, red for UnderWorld, yellow for Mipedian, brown for Danian, and purple... Purple is not a tribe, This must be it." Najain jumps up and touches the purple sphere. Suddenly the five spheres transform into a white spirit that floats right into Najarin. "What was that? Did it work? How will I know if it... " Najain was broken out of his thoughts when loud bang noises were coming from the door. From outside the door, it was Atrapol who was using the Doomhammer to break down the door. "I found you! Here's Atrapol! He bellowed as he was close to breaking the door. "Ok, throwing caution to the wind, then." Najarin began to concentrate. "Here goes nothing, Hymn of the Elements! Make me a master of earth!" From The battle board, one of Najarin's four mugic counters moves toward her only mugic and Hymn of the Elements mugic begin to play. AS the mugic song is playing, a ray of light shine down at Najarin. Najarin checks his hands and see that the mugic did give him the element power of earth. Atrapol was getting closer to opening this door. Najarin closes his eyes. "Let's hope Najarin's ability still work here." back at the battle board two of Najarin's mugic counters disappear and the Hymn of the Elements mugic return. "Here we go again. Hymn of the Elements! Give me the power of air! Najarin's last mugic counter moves toward the mugic and once again the mugic shines a light down on Najarin. "Prowl Strike!" The door was sent flying as Atrapol entered the room. "Finally, no more running away newbie. Now, are you ready to lose with some d... " "Thunder Shout!" Atrapol's sentence was cut off when Najarin unleashed a burst of intense sound toward Atrapol, sending him flying to a wall. "What! That Thunder Shout was way too powerful! Najarin shouldn't have any elements!" He stated. "Yeah, that's true but thanks to my mugic, Najarin has three elements," Najarin said, proudly. Atrapol was shocked but then realized something. “Wait, you have two elements meaning you use Najarin special ability to use that mugic twice, but that's impossible! Najarin needs to sacrifice two of his magicians to activate that effect." Atrapol was getting angry. "How would you be able to play that twice with only one magician. I know you got the extra one from the Castle, so where did you get the other one?!" “It was thanks to my battlegear, the Orb of Unda. When sacrifice, it can grant you one mugic counter.” “But, I destroy it.” "Nope, I already sacrificed it before your ability could. Sorry if I deceive you a bit." Najarin joke. "Don't you dare think you're going to win! I'm going to wipe that smirk off your face! Pebblestorm!" He fired multiple pebbles at Najarin. "Hail Storm!" Najarin counters Pebblestorm with his Hail Storm. "And take this, Torrent of Water!" A large torrent of water came out of Najarin's hand, covering the room and hitting Atrapol. Atrapol was able to burst out of the water and use his own attack. "Streak Strike!" He hit Najarin, sending him to the ground. "Oh no, we are not done yet. Vine Snare!" His fingers turn into vines and wrap around Najarin's limbs. "And last. Telekinetic Bolt!" A burst of energy launches Najarin to a wall. Najarin weakly tries to get back up but Atrapol stands on top of him and raises his Doomhammer up, ready to finish this. "Well this has been fun but all good things must come to an end. Beating you like this will show those losers MajorTom and Phoenix Flame that they will never become great chaotic players withholding ideas like friendship or respect." At that moment something in Najarin changed and his eyes went wide. "Lavalanche!" Lava was coming out of Atrapol's hands and was about to hit Najarin when he shot up into the air. "Still have some more in you. Ok, just one more attack you're cod... " "ENOUGH! PARAl-EYES!" Narajin shot a beam from his head at Atrapol, the attack paralyzed him, making him unable to move. "I have had it with your foolishness! I will no longer tolerate your rudeness, nasty personality, snotty attitude or you insulting my friends! Flash Mend." A green light shines down on Najarin, so how healing him? "First, Neuro Freeze!" He imprisoned Atrapol in ice, "Now, Cyclone Slam!" A hurricane of wind was formed and hit Atrapol, breaking him free from the ice, "And last, Mind Strike!" When his last attack hit him, Atrapol's body explodes into code. Both of them got transport back in the drome with Klay back to normal and the same white energy wrapping around Najarin changing him back to Twilight. "No way! This is impossible! There has to be some kind of mistake? There's no way I lost to some newbie!" Klay complained. The chaotic revolver announce. "There was no mistake. She defeats you using her own skill and for that, the winner of the match is Merlina." "That’s right, Klay," Twilight said with a smug but proud smile. Klay angrily grabs his scanner from the slot and walks past Twilight. "Don't think your battles will be this easy, there are more chaotic players who will put you in your place. And this is not over, I will make you, Phoenix Flame, and MajorTom pays for this." He then walked off. Twilight sticks her tongue out at Klay then grabs her scanner and leaves the drome too. As she walked off, she was in deep thought."What was that back there? When Klay was insulting Sunset and Tom when he was about to finish me, It felt like someone else was in control, someone more powerful and wiser?" Twilight looked at her own hands, wondering what did happen to her. "I better ask Tom and Sunset about this when I meet up with them. I hope the others did well in their own match." She went off. > Chapter 3 A is for Applejack > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Best luck you guys!" Sunset waves her friends off. (With Applejack) Applejack had arrived at the Amzen Drome and walked into the yellow building. When she entered the darkroom a slot popped up in front of her and the chaotic revolving appeared. "Applejack, Chaotic Code Name: Jack Hammer, Dock your scanner." Applejack placed in her scanner and a battle board appears in front of her. Then another person enters the drome room. He is a teenager around her age with brown short hair and green eyes. Wearing a yellow t-shirt underneath an open green short-sleeved shirt, dark blue shorts, and blue shoes. The boy got a good look at Applejack as he walked past and gave her a wink. "Your opponent will be Peyton Touhey, Chaotic Code Name: PeytonicMaster Step forward and Dock your scanner." The boy named Peyton walked to his side and placed his scanner on his slot. He looked over toward Applejack, "Yo, how’s it going girl?" He said trying to flirt with her. "You know when I heard I will be battling against someone called Jack Hammer, I didn't think it would be a hottie like you." Applejack just rolled her eyes in annoyance. "Hey, after this battle want to grab a bite to eat?" He asked her out. "No thanks, Ah planni' on meetin' with my friends after this." She declined his offer. "No prob girl, we can hang out some other time," Peyton said. Applejack got a call on her scanner. When she turns it on Tom's face appears on the screen. "Hey AJ," Tom said to her on her scanner. "Tom? How are you there?" Applejack asked. "I am calling to warn you not to underestimate Peyton." He warned her. Applejack looks toward Peyton and sees him just humming with his eyes closed. "Are ya sure Tom? This fella looks like he is not the bright bulb around." Applejack stated. "Trust me Applejack, Peyton may not be the best in social smart." As Tom says that, Peyton is humming to a song when making a karate pose. "But he is a very skilled Chaotic player, he mostly uses Mipedians on his team but he will use other tribes to throw some players off. Anyway, that's all I have to say, be careful and good luck." Tom hangs up and Applejack's scanner screen turns black. Applejack began to look at her cards, 'Let's see, Ah better choose a Danian that can hold his own, How about someone like Jaal.' She selects Jaal, a humanoid purple ant creature with four arms, and places him on her battlefield. 'Tom says that this Peyton fella using Mipedian so Ah should use the Spectral Viewer to negate any invisibility abilities but maybe not, how bad can invisibility be here,' She equips another battlegear onto her Jaal card. 'I don't know how I will get any mugic counter, yet but Ah put in the Swarm Song just-in-case.' She selects the danian mugic onto her field. Applejack turn her attention toward Peyton who hasn't even started setting up yet and was still making those stupid karate poses, 'What the hay!? He hasn't started yet?' She thought in annoyance. 'Nevermind, Ah best load mah location deck with danian places.' Applejack was finished with her battle broad and Peyton still hadn't even started yet, Applejack was so annoyed with this she yelled at him "Hey! Are you planni' on setting up anytime soon or are ya goin' do it with ya'll eyes closed?" "Awesome idea! Jack!" Peyton selects his creature, battlegear, and mugic with his hand covering his eyes. Applejack looked dumbfounded at Peyton's action. "He ain't serious, is he?" She asked, mostly to herself. After Peyton finally completed his battle board, the revolver announced. "Players, lock your decks." Applejack and Peyton push the button on their scanner and the battlefield shows the creatures each players chose. Applejack has her Jaal card and Peyton has a creature that looks like a humanoid alligator. "What the hay is that?" Applejack questions, "I have never seen this creature before." Peyton answered her, "Oh, this is Braxal. He is a brand new troop to the Mipedian Tribe." "Jack Hammer, Because this is your first battle here you will be the attacker. Activate your location randomizer." Applejack looked around on her screen confused. "Just spin the white spinner girl," Peyton said. "Ah knew that." She mumbled but then spun it until it stopped at a cliff cave with a huge wooden gate. "The location is, The Queen's Gate. Now Jack Hammer, Choose your attacking creature and its target." "Okay, Mah Jaal attacks Braxal!" Applejack called. "Very well, now, touch your creature card." Applejack placed her hand on her Jaal and her screen disappeared, Peyton did it on his screen with the same effect. The white energy of code wraps around Applejack's and Peyton's bodies. When it was over Applejack was replaced by Jaal and Peyton turned into Braxel. Jaal struggles to stay standing with his four legs before finally collapsing on the floor. "What in tarnation!?” Jaal yields as he tries to get up. Braxel laughed, "Yeah, it's kind of hard to balance with different body parts. Especially for newbie, but hey I can give you some pointers after I win." "No thanks, P-partner." Jaal stood back up, "I am not planning on losing this." Jaal declared. "Jaal will battle Braxal in The Queen's Gate, let the battle begin." The Chaotic revolve began to spin like crazy and a growing white flash enveloped the whole room. Jaal was somehow hanged on a cliff inside a mountain. "What the Hay!" Jaal shouted, he then tried to climb to the top but was struggling because of his extra thicc legs. He was finally able to make it to the top of the wooden bar gate. He looked at his surroundings in amazement, "Whoo, gotta admit. I never thought I would ever be in a place like this or as a danian." Jaal looked over at himself, "This is actually pretty cool." but then trip on one of his legs and fall down on his face. "But these will take getting used to." Suddenly, Braxal drops down in front of Jaal with his battlegear 'the Obliterator' in hand. "Hey, there bra, or should I say dude because you know," Braxal pointed at Jaal form which annoy Jaal, "Ok let's get chaotic, I put away my Obliterator for now." His battlegear disappears from his hand, "First strike is you're." Jaal growls at Braxal, "Don't mock me, boy. but since you're offering, I'll take it." Jaal then looked at his hands, "How do I attack without any attack cards?" He asked. "Oh, just call them out. Like this, Rip Tide!" A burst of water came out of Braxal's hands and hit Jaal knocking him down. Jaal stood back up and looked at Braxal in confusion, "What?! How?! since when can Mipedians use water attacks without a Liquilizer?" Jaal questions. Braxal chuckled a bit, "That the best part about Braxal, he is one out of a few mipedians that can use water. I can answer more if you buy me coffee." He offered. "Fat chance lizard boy. And that's the last time you'd surprise me, Pebblestorm!" Jaal unleashes multiple pebbles flying toward Braxal. But suddenly Braxal just disappeared before the attacks could hit him. "What!? Where did you go?" Jaal questions. "Hahaha!" Braxal's laugh was echoing around the room, "Too bad you didn't equip Jaal with the Spectral Viewer." Braxal then appears behind Jaal, "Otherwise you would have seen this." Braxal then punches Jaal to the ground and disappears again. Jaal stood up and looked around. "Is this... Mipedian invisibility?" Jaal asked. Braxal reappeared and hit Jaal with his tail. "That right, my dudette. This is the power of invisibility!" He then started to disappear and reappear all over the room. "How are you going to fight what you can't see? Frost Blight!" He unleashes an icy water attack, hitting Jaal. Jaal however stood his ground against Braxal's attack until it stopped. "Just like a Mipedian, using dirty tricks to win. Will, it's going to take more than that to beat me, Braxal!" Jaal raises his fist and tries to concentrate, then his battlegear 'The Vlaric Shard' appears on his arm. "Now we are talking! Here we go, Rock Wave!" He cheered as smashed his fists on the ground and massive boulders surged toward Braxal. Braxal managed to dodge the Rock Wave attack but Jaal followed it up with another attack. "Thunder Shout!" Jaal unleashes a powerful sound attack that hits Braxal. Braxal got knocked to the wooded gate but was still ready to fight. "Cool combat Jackie, but we just getting started." Braxal summon his Obliterators and call out an attack, "Danihilation!" He throws his battlegear and destroys it to turn it into a powerful fire attack. Jaal try to escape it but the attack hit him and Jaal took serious damage. "I'm not done yet!" Jaal aimed his Vlaric Shard at Braxal but before he could call an attack. "Not so fast, dudette! Gear Grind!" Braxal used golden chains on Jaal's Vlaric Shard and when it did the Vlaric Shard stopped working. "My battlegear! What the hay happened to it?!" Jaal panics as he tries to get his gear to work. Back in the port court, Tom, Sunset, and Kaz were watching Applejack and Peyton's battle. "That was Gear Grind. That attack turns off both players' battlegear for the rest of the battle." Kaz explained. "Man, this Peyton friend of yours is really playing Applejack." Sunset stated. "Yeah, one of the biggest mistakes anyone can make is underestimating Peyton." Tom told her. "I just hope Applejack can find a way out of this." Jaal glare at Braxal. "If you think taking away my battlegear is enough to beat me." He stood back up, "Then, you have another thing coming." "Good, I was hoping you would still be up for this. But let's see if you can find me." Braxal uses his Mipedian invisibility to disappear from Jaal's sight. Jaal starts to look around trying to figure out where Braxal is, "Oh man, where is he?" Suddenly, the antennas on Jaal's head started to twitch. "What the? What's going on with my...? " Before he could finish his sentence, he quickly moved out of the way of an attack. "How did I know?" Jaal then realizes what he needs to do. So he stayed perfectly still. "What's wrong, dude? You know if you just stand there you will get coded?" Braxal taunts him but Jaal ignores him until his antennas twitch again and Jaal grabs Braxal by the arm then tosses him to a nearby wall. "Ow! Dude, you are finally using that Danian instinct, Awesome!" Braxal cheer for him. "That's not all I got! Here we go again, Rock Wave!" Jaal slammed his fist on the ground and unleashed the rock wave attack but this time it hit him. That attack deals serious damage to Braxal, He tries to use another water attack but Jaal dodges it and it hits the top of the cave cracking a piece of it. Then, Jaal fired one of his own, "Flash Kick!" That attack sent him to the cliff. Braxal can barely get up as Jaal moves closer to him. "Well partner, that is what you get when you mess with this farm girl." Jaal was ready to finish it. Braxal lookup with weak eyes and notice an almost coming loss to the sealant. "Yeah, but still a few more tricks. Song of Recovery!" From the battle board, one of Braxal's mugic counter moves toward his mugic. As the mugic play, a beam of light shines down at Braxal, restoring his health. Braxal quickly launches an attack. "Ice Sheet!" He turns the part of the ground at Jaal is standing on into ice, making him slip and fall down. "Deadwater Devastation!" Braxal's next attack was a powerful water attack but he didn't aim it at Jaal but at the sealant. "You miss!" Jaal claims. "Did I?" Braxal asked. Before Jaal could question further, the piece of the sealant finally fell off straight towards Jaal. Jaal sees the piece of rock falling atop of him, before he could do anything it hits him and Jaal explodes into code. Applejack appears back in the drome and Braxal port back soon after, then the chaotic revolver appears and announces. "The winner of the match is PeytonicMaster." "Ah can't believe Ah lost to a rock!" Applejack said, holding her head. Peyton removes his scanner from the slot and moves towards Applejack. "What can I say but I coame up with the best strategy." "That wasn't strategy! That was dumb luck at best!" Applejack screamed. "Whatever you want to call it, bra." Peyton walked toward the open door. "That was a fun match, and if you want to battle again or go on a date just give me a call." Peyton left. Applejack grabs her own scanner and sighs, "Ah can't believe Ah lost meh first battle here, to that idiot. Ah hope Rainbow don't rub it to meh face." She soon exits the drome. > Chapter 4 O is for Fluttershy > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Best luck you guys!" Sunset waves her friends off. (With Fluttershy) Fluttershy has arrived at the Oron Drome, the door open which spook her. After a few seconds with some hesitation, Fluttershy ultimately went in. She was in a dark room until the chaotic revolver appear and said. "Fluttershy, Chaotic Code Name: Animal-Lover, Step forward and Dock your scanner." A slot pops out from the floor, Fluttershy slowly walks toward it and places her scanner on it. The battle screen appears sporkly Fluttershy a bit. Then, another person came in. He was a teenage boy with a fat figure and wearing a black leather jacket with blue jean pants. He had dark skin, light-blue short hair, and red/yellow eyes. "Your opponent will be Clump, Chaotic Code Name: StoneDraagon Step forward and Dock your scanner." Clump bump Fluttershy then walks to his side and dock his scanner on the slot. "Well well newbie, I hope you're ready to lose?" Clump mock Fluttershy. "That wasn't nice of you." Fluttershy weakly said, getting up. "Too bad sweetie, this is a battle. If you want to play with dolls then go home, baby." Clump said, which make Fluttershy cry a bit. "Enough trash talk, players. Now, set up your deck." The Chaotic revolver told them. "Sorry mister revolver." Fluttershy timidly apologizes as she looks at the battle board. Back outside the port court, a group of chaotic players was at their table, watching Fluttershy and Clump's battle from the TV screen. One that had purple skin and blonde that cover his eyes said this. "Man Garble, why did we all have to be here? Clump is going to trounce this newbie." "Yeah," The main one with yellow hair, red skin, and wearing a black leather jacket said this. "That's the point. Watching a newbie get their butt kicked and running home to mommy is always a blast!" The Teen laughed. "And this one looks like the biggest cry baby ever, this will be fun trust me." "You better be right. I rather go scanning right now." Another young man said to the boy name Garble as they return to watching the match. Back at the Oron Drome, Fluttershy and Clump were setting up their deck. Fluttershy was looking down through her cards to her creature. 'Let's see, from what Tom and Sunset told me how the game work here, we have to fight for real.' The thought of that scared her a bit until she stop at her Tangath Toborn card. 'Tangath Toborn, He really brave and strong, maybe he can help me in this.' Fluttershy thought to herself and before she could choose it, she get a beep from her scanner which scared her again. After she calm down, she push a button on it, and on its screen was her friend Sunset Shimmer. "Sunset!" Fluttershy cheered. "Hey Flutter, I calling to help you but sorry, me and Tom don't have anything on this guy so it be best for you to use your strongest creature and best cards," Sunset suggests. Fluttershy leans closer to her scanner and whisper. "Well, I think on use Tangath Toborn. Every time I play with him on my team for some reason I feel like can face anything." She then turn back disheartened. "I guess it’s kind of a stupid idea." "No, No, Tangath Toborn is a great choice. Pick him and equip him with the Sword of Khy'at." Fluttershy did what Sunset told her to do and drag her Tangath Toborn card to the battlefield then give him the Sword of Khy'at battlegear card. "Ok, next you need a mugic that can get you out of a tough bind," Sunset said. Fluttershy looks over her mugic cards until she stops at one. "Maybe the Song of Resurgence in case Tangath gets hurt." She selects the overworld mugic. "Good. Last, since you're going to be the attacker choose ten locations that can help Tangath Toborn. Locations like Gloomuck Swamp to boost your earth attacks or Kiru City since he a home-field advantage." As Sunset list down locations, she could use, Fluttershy loads them into her randomizer. As she finishes, Fluttershy looks down nervously. "I still not sure about all of this Sunset. I don't like the idea of fighting someone." "Don't worry Shy, You're going to be fine, trust in yourself and your creature," Sunset assures her. "Look I need to help the rest of the girls. Good luck." Sunset hangs up, leaving Fluttershy alone with Clump. And Clump was finished too and spoke to Fluttershy. "Ready to get a slap, baby." He mocks her. Fluttershy silence nodded almost crying at his statement. "Players, lock your decks." Both of them push the red button on their scanners, and both their screen are revealed. The screen show Fluttershy using Tangath Toborn on her side and Clump is using a humanoid crab man wearing a chef hat. "Who is that? I have never seen this creature before." Fluttershy asked. "He called Najral and he going to serve you up!" Clump declare. " Animal-Lover, Because this is your first battle here you will be the attacker. Activate your location randomizer." "You mean the white spinner?" Fluttershy asked. "Yes." Fluttershy spun it and it landed on a location that was based on a city protected by an orange wall around it and one hole in it. "The location is, Kiru City. Now Animal-Lover, Choose your attacking creature and its target." Fluttershy look over both her and her opponent battlefields and said. "Tangath Toborn attacks Najral!" "Very well, now, touch your creature card." "Let's get chaotic, Baby!" Clump touches his creature and his screen disappears. Then a white energy of code wrap around his body and turn him into Najral. Fluttershy hesitated a bit to touch her Tangath card fearing the battle. She take a breath to calm her nerves and finally push a finger to her Tangath Toborn card. Her battle screen disappears and the same white energy wraps itself around Fluttershy. When it finish Fluttershy was turned into Tangath Toborn, he look down at his reflection from the floor and jump back in fear after seeing his face. He then slowly look back at it. "So, is this really Tangath Toborn?" He places a hand on his face, "I'm really him?" "Yeah, and You about to be dust when I finish with you," Najral stated. "Tangath Toborn will battle Najral in Kiru City, let the battle begin." The Chaotic revolve began to spin like crazy and a growing white flash enveloped the whole room. Tangath Toborn open his eyes and saw he wasn't in the battle drome anymore, he was in the middle of Kiru city. Tangath was both amazed and terrified at the sight of it. "Hello, is anyone here?" Tangath called as he walk around the city, timidly. "Mister Najral, you mind coming out, please? If that ok with you?" Suddenly, a small pebble dropped from a building but the sound of it caused Tangath to jump back in fear. "Eep!" He start to panic and hide behind a wall but when he peaks his head out to check, he saw nothing. "Oh, it was just a pebble." Tangath steps out but then A torrent of water shot toward him and send him flying toward a building. "OW!" He groaned when he hit it. The torrent of water came from Najral who came out of hiding. "I thought I was fighting Tangath Toborn not a drench scaredy-cat!" Najral said as he glared at Tangath. Tangath Toborn was slowly getting up from the attack and coughing up water. "Oh, feeling wet? Let me dry you up, Torrent of Flame!" A stream of flame came out from his claw and headed toward Tangath. Tangath saw this and quickly move out of the way of the flame attack. "Wait, can we talk about this?" He asked. "No you dumb, this is a battle! A battle I going to win, Hail Storm!" Najral stated as he fire hail ices from his claw. Tangath avoid those attacks too but with fear in his eyes, he turned and run away from the fight. "Where do you think you going you coward," Najral yelled as he start chasing after Tangath. Back at the port court, everyone was laughing at Fluttershy's actions as Tangath Toborn, while Tom, Sunset, and Kaz look on in worried. "What is she doing in there?" Tom asked. "Tangath Toborn can easily handle an UnderWorld like Najral no problem but she turning him into the cowardly lion!" Kaz stated but was elbowed by an annoyed Sunset. "I should have known this be too much for her but the person playing as Najral is making it really hard for her," Sunset then gets a scowl to look, "Who does he think he is?" Kaz checks his scan. "Guys! I finally found something on him. He mostly uses UnderWorld and Mipedian but that is not all. He is also part of a Chaotic players group called The Dragon Pack." "The Dragon Pack!?" Tom and Sunset questions. "Yeah, They use creatures that are similar to dragons," Kaz exclaimed. "And what I also read was they kind of bad news." "Really," Sunset said then turn back to the TV screen, "Fluttershy, you can do this." "Rainspears!" Najral continues his attack on Tangath Toborn with a new move that water beam attacks. Tangath was running on all fours, trying to escape from the fight. He stop at another building and went inside to hide. Najral stop at the building Tangath was hidden, "Hey Corward-born, where are you?" He asked as he looks around. Tangath gulped in fear as he peeks his head from an open window but quickly dodges back. Najral noticed this and summon the Citadel Lodestone battlegear in his claw, "Found you, Pebblestorm!" He fired multiple pebbles at the open window and Tangath burst out of the door to avoid the attack. "Hey! Attacking someone like that is not very nice!" Tangath whine. "Quit being a baby and give me a real fight already!" Najral shouted as a preparation for his next attack. "Sludge Gush!" Then he spits out a green slime at Tangath's face blinding him. "Next, Torrent of Water!" He summons a powerful wave of water that sends him flying to another building. Tangath gets up and starts to run again, "Not again, get back here!" He groaned. Tangath was running on all fours trying to escape from Najral as he was fired more water and earth attacks. Tangath turn the corner and Najral ran past not noticing him. Tangath went behind a barrel and Najral ran past the barrel, Tangath come out of the barrel to see if Najral was gone but when he looked, Najral was still there. Tangath jump back in fear, "Please, just stop!" He begs. "Sure, once you get coded! Telekinetic Bolt!" Najral launches another attack straight toward Tangath. But before the attack hit, out of nowhere Tangath's battlegear 'The Sword of Khy'at' appear in his hands and block the attack. Tangath open his eyes and see his sword, "Whoa, did I do this?" He asked." "That was just dumb luck any best!" Najral fired multiple waters and earth attacks at Tangath but he counter them with his sword, one of his attacks deflect the sword and hit Najral to the ground. "Oh my," Tangath run over to Najaral and offer him a hand, "I so sorry, are you okay?" Najral slaps his hand away, "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!" He asked in rage. "What kind of game are you playing?! First, you act like a coward, then you start to have a spark of backbone, and now you want to help me after getting your first hit on me. When are you going to get that this is a battle!?" "I'm sorry, I really not used to this kind of thing." Tangath answer. "Never mind, I thought it was going to be fun to mess with you but I just going to finish you," Najral said as he raise his hands and call out a powerful attack. "Liquescent Swirl!" A huge whirlpool appears and it slams down onto Tangath. The whole city was flooded by the Liquescent Swirl attack and the first one to come out of the water was Najral who climb onto a building, "Ha, take that new girl! That what you get when you... " He couldn't finish his bellow as he heard coughing. He turn to see Tangath on the same building, wet, coughing out water, and still here. "What!? How did you survive?" He questions in rage. He then stand up towering Tangath, "No matter, one more attack will finish it! Rip Tide!" He call out but nothing happen. "What? Oh no my Liquescent Swirl, thanks to that I lost my water ability!" He then summon back his Citadel Lodestone battlegear back, "Fine, I just use earth attack... " He said but then Tangath run away again by jump on to other buildings. "Not again, get back here!" He yelled. Tangath finally stops at one of the building and drop to his knee. "What am I doing? maybe he’s right I should just let him win." He then stare at his reflection from his sword, "I was not cut out for this. I, not the real Tangath Toborn, Tangath Toborn is supported to be brave." Then out of nowhere he see images of Tangath Toborn fighting battles with all his might, his eye hardened, and stand back up. Najrai finally caught up with him and was annoyed, "I getting sick of this, let’s just end this!" Tangath turn to face Najral with a serious look on his face and said. "Song of Resurgence! Heal me!" Back at the battle board, one of Tangath Toborn's mugic counter moves to her mugic. Then Song of Resurgence mugic plays and shines down on him, regaining his energy. Tangath point his sword at Najral. "I'm sorry I haven't gotten you a good match, but I’m ready now." Najral then smirk, "So, you finally ready to act like a creature. Let's see want you got, Enlightened Tenacity!" He fired a heart-shaped attack but Tangath deflect it with his sword. "Lavalanche!" Tangath blasted lava out of his sword and hit Najral pushing him back. "Lucky shot, Granite Balls!" Najral fired rock balls from his eyes but like before Tangath uses his sword to block them all. 'This is incredible, it feels like someone else is in control and getting me the strength. I going to win this!' Fluttershy thought to herself and then saw something where Najral was standing on, 'And I know how!' "Purifying Mud!" Tangath blasted some mud at Najral cover him with it. "Real funny! But playtime is over, Thunder Shout!" Najral yell and fired a sonic attack that knock Tangath back. "You got on my last nerves but I’m glad you finally got your backbone. At least you won't cry to mama when I coded you." He said but then noticed a huge crack forming on the floor he stands on. Tangath looks back at him with a smile and slam his fist on the ground, "Rock Wave!" The massive boulders surge out and move toward Najral. He tries to move but can't do to the mud, the attack hit and break off the side of the building and causing Najral to fall. "Nice Trick, but all I going to do is land in the water!" He said but he look down and see that all the water have dried up already, nothing left but the ground he was going to hit hard. 'I-I-I I need to cast my mugic to beat her!' Clump thought to himself. "Dissonance of Distrac... " But before he could finish saying it he hit the ground and explosion into code. Tangath Toborn and Najral teleport back to the drome but Najrai was back to being Clump. Then the Chaotic revolver return and announces. "The winner of the match is Animal-Lover." Then the same white energy wraps Tangath and changes him back to Fluttershy. "I did it, I really did it!" She sheers and jumps in joy. "I can't believe I lost to a cry baby newbie! The packs aren't ever going to let me live this down!" Clump took his scanner and walked toward the exit but look back at Fluttershy. "Listen girly, you just got lucky nothing else!" He then left. Fluttershy takes out her own scanner and looks at her Tangath Toborn card. "Thanks Tangath Toborn for always giving me courage. I can't wait to meet you in Perim." She said to it. She walk out of the drome but was stopped by a girl with long brown hair tie up in a ponytail. "Hi my name is Krystella, that was a great match you had. Want to be friends?" > Chapter 5 T is for Rarity > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Best luck you guys!" Sunset waves her friends off. (With Rarity) Rarity has arrived at the Tirasis Drome, She looks over the orange looking drome and thought to herself that it looks kind of tacky but the door opened and she went in. When she entered the drome, she was amazed by the outside cyber design. "Ok, now this is better. Love the cyber design." Rarity said, then the slot popped up in front of her. "Goodness!" Then the chaotic revolt appeared in front of her. "Rarity Belle, Chaotic Code Name: Lady Lomma, Step forward and Dock your scanner." Rarity looks at the slot and then places her scanner in it. When she did, the battle screen appeared. "Not bad, but I prefer a round design." Rarity said. Then another person appeared, he was a young man with blonde short hair and was wearing a brown jacket. The revolver then announces him. "FireKing, Step forward and Dock your scanner." Another slot opens on the other side and the boy places his own scan on it and his own screen appears. Boy looks at Rarity and starts to talk to her. "Wow, I never thought the newbie I be fighting would be a cutie." Rarity giggling at FireKing's compliment. "My, My. You're quite the bold one, are you. Well, I'm glad my first opponent in chaotic is with you." FireKing chucked. "Don't think I will let you win just because you're a cute girl." Rarity nodded, then she got a call on her scanner. Rarity answered and the person on the other line was Tom. "Oh, Tom darling." "Hey Rares, I am calling to give you some advice. The player you are about to battle uses Underworlders, so many of his attacks will be fire. So, it is best to choose cards to best deal with it." "Thank you, dear," Rarity thanks Tom, then looks at her battle screen confused. "How do I use this?" "It's just like online but instead of using a keyboard you use your own hands." Tom stated. Rarity did what Tom said and used her hand on the blue creature select. She scrolls through until she stops at a antelope-like woman with long hair and wearing a green dress. She then moves that creature to her battlefield. "I choose my Lomma." She whispers to Tom. "Good choice, next your battlegear." Tom explain as Rarity now scroll to her battlegears, "Go for something like Torrent Krinth or Aqua Shield." Rarity stops at the Torrent Krinth and equips it to her Lomma card. "Ok, next you need a mugic to... " "Done," Rarity said as she placed her mugic. "Wait what!? Which mugic did you choose?" "That's a secret." Rarity places a finger on her lip and wink. "Okay. Next, choose ten locations that will help Lomma. Since you’re going to be the attacker, you will have the advantage." Rarity loads ten of her location cards in her location randomizer. "Ok, look like you're good to go Rares. I'm going to check on the others, good luck." Tom then hung up. "Players, lock your decks." FireKing pushes the red button on his scanner and seeing this Rarity does the same. Both of their battlefields are revealed. The screens show Rarity's Lomma creature and the creature that FireKing had look like cerberus. "Good heavens! What is that?!" Rarity squeal. "This is my ace, Cerbie. And be careful, his bite is worse than his bark." FireKing said. "Lady Lomma, because this is your first battle here you will be the attacker. Activate your location randomizer." Rarity looked around and spotted the white spinner. She gave it a spin, it landed on a landscape of jagged cliffs, rocky embankments, steep slopes, and water flowing through. "The location is, Riverlands. Now, Choose your attacking creature and its target." "My dear Lomma will battle... That Cerbie." Rarity said with a hint of disgust. "Very well, now, touch your creature card." Rarity places her hand on Lomma card then her screen disappears. Fireking does the same, then white energy of code wraps around their bodies, and after it's done the two players are replaced. Rarity has transformed into Lomma and Fireking turns into Cerbie. Lomma looked at herself and her reflection on the floor. "Oh my, I look absolutely gorgeous as Lomma!" She lifted a piece of her dress. "And I love her dress on me." She beams. Cerbie starts to growl at her, "You look like my new chew toy." His red horn head told her. "What?" "You heard me, Overworlder." His skull head said. "Let's get chaotic!" the third head finish. "Lomma will battle Cerbie in the Riverlands, let the battle begin." The Chaotic revolve began to spin like crazy and a growing white flash enveloped the whole room. Lomma opens her eyes and finds herself on top of a rock cliff in the Riverlands. She was amazed by the beauty of this place. "This is breathtaking, I still can't believe I'm really here." Lomma tries to take a step but trips and ends up falling off the cliff and landing on a brush. Lomma stood up but trip again on the ground. "Ouch!" She groaned, she look back at her hoof legs, "How can a lady move with these?" Then Cerbie landed right next to her. "You won't have to worry for long." The third head of Cerbie said, "Megaroar!" All the heads unleash a powerful roar attack and Lomma was send flying into the water. Lomma got out of the water and spit some out. "Well, that was very rude." She stated. "That's what you get when you fight an Underworlder, little girl." The skull head shot back, "Torrent of Flame!" Cerbie fired a flame attack. "Torrent of Water!" Lomma uses an attack to make a wall of water to block the fire attack. Then Lomma's body start to glow, "Woah, That feel so good." Three of Cerbie's heads start growl, "Great, the effect of this location is kicking in." The red horn head stated, but then got an idea. "But this might help, Skeletal Strike!" The three heads shouted, then a three head skeleton came out of Cerbie's body and moved toward Lomma. "Aah!" Lomma tried to run away from it but the Skeletal Strike attack hit her. "Flame Orb!" Then Cerbie launches a fireball attack that sends Lomma flying. Cerbie looked at the direction he sent Lomma too, then went off somewhere else. Lomma landed hard on the forest area of the Riverlands and took heavy damage. "While I've never wanted to indulge in such pity behavior, but that no good barbarian has done it now!" Lomma stated, angrily. But then she is hit by a fire attack on her side, Lomma gets up with a frown and summons her Torrent Krinth battlegear on her wrist. "Alright, where are you?" She asked but got hit from behind. Back at the port court, Tom, Sunset, and Kaz watched in horror as Lomma kept getting hit. "I don't get it, how is he attacking her? Where even is he?" Sunset asked the two boys. Tom thought about it and looked toward Kaz. "Kaz, you don't think he knows about it?" "Know what?" Sunset asked again. "In the Riverlands, there is a cave that can be used to launch sneak attacks through a waterfall. Tom tried to use it in his match against Klay but he found out about it." "But this time Rarity has no idea about it, which means Cerbie can attack her all he wants." Tom stated. "Man, Rarity is suppose to have the advantage in the Riverlands and now it going to be use against her!" Kaz screams and Sunset looks worried as on the battle board Lomma's energy gets lower to 15. Lomma get knock down from another attack. 'Drat! Where is he attacking from? There have to be a way to find him,' Rarity asked from Lomma mind, then got... 'Idea!' Lomma kneeling down and open her eyes, She stay calm and use her hearing to locate the next attack. Went Cerbie uses another fire attack from behind, lomma is able to avoid it by doing a backflip and fired her own attack. "Fluidmight!" She launch a huge water fist construct toward a nearby waterfall. Cerbie's eye went wide as the Fluidmight hit and knocked him out of the cave to the underwater ocean which Cerbie now had to swim out of. He makes it back to the surface and has to shake himself dry, then he get blasts a water attack. When Cerbie recovers from that attack, he spotted Lomma who had appeared in front of him. "Hello there Darling, had a nice swim?" She asked, jokingly. "Mock me all you want, you are still a few attacks away from getting coded." The skull head of Cerbie told her. "Not for long. Geo Flourish!" Lomma shouted out. Then from the battle board, Lomma's only mugic counter moves toward her mugic, and as it plays it shines down at Lomma. From the battle board, Lomma's energy rises to 30%. "Oh it is so on! Rainspears!" Lomma fired mini water arrows at Cerbie which he tried to avoid. "Blaze Barrage!" Cerbie fired his own attack and Lomma quickly dodge it. "Neuro Freeze!" Lomma places her hand on the ground and summons a huge block of ice that knocks Cerbie up into the air. "Frost Blight!" Then Lomma fired an ice attack. "Nexus Fuse!" Cerbie equipped himself with his own battlegear, then the Frost Blight attack hit and send him to the ground, hard. "Flash Kick!" Lomma uses another attack on him, sending him even further away. "Let this be a lesson on never messing with a lady." "Don't get cocky Overworlder, this battle isn't over yet. Smokesurge!" Cerbie belching out a cloud of black smoke that covers the entire area. Lomma couldn't find Cerbie in all this smoke. "Earthshape!" Lomma could hear him call out an attack. "Lavalanche!" Then a lava-like attack hit lomma from behind. "Thunder Shout!" Then sonic attack hit her on her left. "Sudden Flare!" Then a fire hit her right. Lomma listens in really close to Cerbie's footsteps to find out where he is. "Found you, Power Pulse!" Lomma jumped out of the smoke and fired a green energy fists attack at Cerbie sent out of the black smoke. Then Lomma landed right next to him. "No more of your dirty tricks, this ends now." She told him. "For once you're right, this does end now." Suddenly, Cerbie's Nexus Fuse blows up and Lomma explodes into code. Rarity appears back in the drome as herself and Cerbie teleport back. Then the Chaotic revolver returned and announced. "The winner of the match is FireKing." The white energy returns and wraps itself around Cerbie, changing him back to FireKing. "What? How did he win?" Rarity asked the revolver. "Your opponent sacrifices his Nexus Fuse to deal enough damage to your energy." FireKing grabs his scanner from the slot and walks toward Rarity. Rarity however turned around, away from him with her arms crossed, "That was a great battle new girl. For a newbie, you battle out there like a regular." He said to her, "Don't try to sweet-talk your way out of this, after your behavior in our battle." "Oh, sorry about that, I sometimes get carried away when I am playing as my Underworlders, especially Cerbie." He apologizes to her but Rarity just huffs at him. "Hey, how about I treat you to lunch?" He offers. Rarity slowly turns her head. "Well, that's a start. But sadly I have to decline since I am going to be meeting with my friends soon." "Okay, how about next time then?" He wondered. "Maybe." "Great, see you then!" He said as he patted her on the back, he got ready to leave but turned back to her, "I really mean it. That was a great match, Welcome to Chaotic." He said with a smile as he left. Rarity was left in the drome looking at his direction with a huge blush. > Chapter 6 I is for Rainbow > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Best luck you guys!" Sunset waves her friends off. (With Rainbow Dash) Rainbow has arrived at the Imthor Drome, She slams her fists together and looks at the drome with determination. The drome door opens and Rainbow rushes in, when she enters she is amazed by the cyber design. "Okay, this is awesome." Then a slot pops up in front of her and the Chaotic revolver appears. "Rainbow Dash, Chaotic Code Name: SonicRainboom, Step forward and Dock your scanner." Rainbow Dash looked at it and said, "You got it." To the revolver and put her scanner in the slot. Then her battle board appears. Rainbow beam at it. "So cool, it's just like the online one." She plays around with the four scrolls and all her cards start showing on the screen. "So, who is my opponent?"As she asked and a boy walked in, he had a comb up hair brown and was wearing a gray t-shirt. "Nick, Chaotic Code Name: SlickNick, Step forward and Dock your scanner." The boy does what he said and places his own scanner in this slot on his side. "Welcome to Chaotic, new girl. Hope you are ready to battle?" Nick asked her. Rainbow Dash with a determined look on her face she answered. "You bet I'm! I am ready to battle as Takinom, or maybe as Rothar!" "Wait Takinom, Rothar, by any chance are you an Underworld player?" SlickNick asked and Rainbow nodded at that. "That's disgusting!" He said with a sour tone. "Excuse me, what does that’s supposed to mean?" Rainbow Dash asked with an irritating frown. "You heard me! Overworlders rule and the other tribes are losers." SlickNick said, "And that means my Overworlders will take down any Underworlders you have." "Why you!" Rainbow Dash was mad now. "I show you by beating you with my ace, Takinom!” "Oh so you’re going with Takinom? Fine, then I go with Raimusa, I'm sure he will make BBQ out of her!" SlickNick shot back. "What did you say!" "Enough players! Step your deck, now." The Chaotic revolver told them. "Fine, I let my skill do all the work, Underworlder." He declared. "Bring it on!" Rainbow said as she now turned her attention to her battle screen and looked at it curious. She starts by playing around with one of the scroll and her creatures start showing on the screen. 'Wow, it really works just like it does online.' She thought, Then she selected her Takinom card. She was about to choose another card when she got a call from her scanner. And the person on the other line was Tom. "Rainbow Dash, what are you doing?!" He shouted through her scanner. "Tom!? What the!?" "Why are you giving your strategy? He’s the enemy!" "I am not giving my strategy! He was making fun of Takinom and the Underworlders!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. Tom then calmed down and sighed. "Look, I know how you feel but you have to remember in this game you need to keep a level head or you already lost the match. Got it?" Rainbow Dash nodded in understanding, "Okay and also don't worry about Nick's comments, he is just an overworld loved airhead." Tom joked and Rainbow laughed. "Okay now, there might be a chance he won't use Raimusa but he will use an Overworlder, you should stack your location deck with Underworld locations and not just that, locations that will give Takinom the edge like flying locations." As Tom is telling all of this, Rainbow Dash finishes loading her location randomizer. "Done, what next?" Rainbow asked. "Well, next is your battlegear and mugic. You need something that could boost Takinom." Tom suggested. "Well, Takinom is at her best when using fire attacks. I better equip her with the Pyroblaster." Rainbow Dash was about to select the Pyroblaster battlegear." "Wait," But Tom stopped her, "Go for the Gauntlets of Might." "Really?" "Yeah, with those you will only need one thing to give a fire element." Tom whispered it to Rainbow Dash, she nodded and equipped that battlegear on to her Takinom. "Last is mugic, I was thinking of the Discord of Disarming." Rainbow suggested. "Good choice, It will destroy any battlegear your opponent has." Tom says to her and she selects it, "Alright, look like you good to go, I have to go to check on the others, good luck and remember to keep a cool head." Tom then ended the call. "Ha, I always have a cool head." Rainbow boasted, proudly. "You ready to lose, Underworlder?" SlickNick asked, mockly. "Ready as ever, Over-loser!" Rainbow slot back mockly. "Players, lock your decks." Rainbow and Nick both push the red button on his scanner and both battle screens reveal themselves on the other's side. The board shows the creatures each players chooses, Rainbow Dash was a yellow skin woman with bat-like wings and three horns popped out of her head. It was Takinom. Next, Nick was a male creature in gray samurai armor. It was Raimusa. "Ha, you really were dumb enough to chose Takinom." SlickNick mocked her. "What about you, you chocie Raimusa just like you. What does that make you?" Rainbow pointed out and Nick growled at that. "SonicRainboom , because this is your first battle here you will be the attacker. Activate your location randomizer." Rainbow Dash looked at her battle screen, looking for her randomizer and found it. "Oh, this one." She then spun it and the screen went through random pictures until it stopped at a lake of lava with volcanoes surrounding it. "The location is, Lava Pond. Now, Choose your attacking creature and its target." "That's an easy one! Takinom attacks Raimusa!" Rainbow choose. "Very well, now, touch your creature card." Rainbow then places her hand on her Takinom card and SlickNick does the same then their screen disappears. Then, white code of energy wraps around the two chaotic players and transforms them into their respected creatures. Rainbow Dash was now Takinom and SlickNick was now Raimusa. Takinom kept a good look at herself and exclaimed. "This. Is. AWESOME! I really am Takinom!" She said in excitement as she flapped one of her wings. "Hope you're ready to battle, Underworld scum?" Raimusa asked. Takinom slammed her fists together and said. "I'm always ready, let's get chaotic!" "Takinom will battle Raimusa in the Lava Pond, let the battle begin." The Chaotic revolve began to spin like crazy and a growing white flash enveloped the whole room. Takinom opened her eyes and saw that she was now in the Lava Pond location. Takinom was smiling brightly, "Whoa, so cool! I am really here at the Lava Pond as Takinom! This is 50% cool!" She cheered. She started to flap her wings and began to fly. She was soaring all around the Lava Pond with a huge grin on her face. 'Ha, lucky for me I have experience with flying.' Rainbow thought but her wings weren't moving right and she ended up crashing down. 'Ow, guess Takinom's bat wings are different from pony wings.' She thought. Then, She spotted one of her hands was deep in lava. She freaked out as she pulled it out but then noticed that it wasn't burning, Takinom looked at her hand and it was just fine with some lava slipping off. "Wow, look like Takinom is fireproof." She said, cheerfully. She then notices something from the distance, she moves closer until she sees it was Raimusa. She flew toward a stalactite on top and looked down on Raimusa who was just sitting around in a meditation position. 'What? Is he seriously sleeping?' Rainbow thought, 'Never mind that, time to attack. Wait, how do I attack again?' "Do I just call out an attack?" Takinom wondered, "Power Pulse!" She fired a green energy fist at him. But Raimusa opened his eyes and dodge the attack then fired his own. "Vine Snare!" His fingers turn into vines and wrap themselves around Takinom. Then, he uses it to send her down to the ground hard. Takinom groaned from the hit and Raimusa stood in front of her. "You didn't think it would be this easy, Underworlder?" He questions her. "Nope but that is not going to stop me!" Takinom stood up on her knees and tossed another energy attack, aiming toward him but he easily dodged that one. "Pebblestorm!" Raimusa unleashes a storm of pebbles at Takinom but she then uses one of her wings to block it. After Takinom pulls her wing back, Raimusa throws a punch at her face but Takinom quickly moves out of the way. Then try to throw another, then another and then another but Takinom kept moving back to avoid the punches. But, Raimusa fired an attack, "Power Punch!" Then a fist attack hit Takinom and forced her back to the ground. "Ha! Too bad Takinom doesn't have any element to fight with." Raimusa mock. "Power Punch!" Takinom then did the same attack on Raimusa pushing him back. "Yeah you're right, for now!" Takinom's cocky response as her Gauntlets of Might battlegear appear in her arms. "Force Strike!" Then unleashing a force attack that hit Raimusa again, Takinom was now standing in front of a down Raimusa. "Now the fun begins. Flame Orb!" She throws a fireball attack straight towards Raimusa. The attack hit him and caused a smokescreen to surround him but when it cleared up it was revealed that Raimusa was not just fine, he was covered in ice. The ice came from a white cape that Raimusa was wearing. "Ha, didn't see that coming. Did you?" Raimusa said to her. "What the?" Takinom gasps before launching another attack. "Ember Swarm!" The attack hits but like before Raimusa's cape turns to ice and stops the attack. "You idiot, This is the Ice Cloak! All your fire attacks are now useless!" Raimusa explained. "Oh so it's just that thing, easy fix. Discord of Disarming!" Takinom yells out. From the battle board, Takinom's only mugic counter moves to her mugic then the mugic start to play and as it play, a ray of light shine down on Raimusa, making his battlegear stop working. "Oh no." The only thing Raimusa could said as his battlegear was now gone. "Take this! Subben Flare!" Takinom used another fire attack that hit Raimusa and actually hurt him. "Wait, I have one more. Lavalanche!" Takinom places her hands on the ground then on Raimusa's side a burst of lava shoots up right on top of him. The lava geyser sent him flying up. Takinom sore right in and got a hold of him. "Put me down, you fool!" Raimusa below as he tries to get out of Takinom's grip. "Okay, if you said so." Takinom responds as she flies them close to stalactite and she lets him go, making him hit the stalactite. Raimusa fell off of it and was about to hit the ground until Takinom caught him. "Okay, one more time!" She flies towards another stalactite and makes him slam into that one. And just like before, when Raimusa falls off this one Takinom catches him again but instead of making him clash into another stalactite, she swings him around at super speed then she tosses him aside. "Toxic Gust!" She used an attack which was a toxic gust of gas on Raimusa, pushing him far down until he plummeted to the ground. Back at the port court, Tom, Sunset, and Kaz watched Rainbow Dash's battle with some mixed reactions. "Wow, guy my friend Rainbow Dash is really getting into Takinom and with her playing in the Lava Pond, she a shoe in to win!" Kaz exclaimed. But Tom and Sunset was not wasn't so sure. "Yeah, I just hope Rainbow Dash doesn't get cocky." Tom said in worried. "What do you mean?" Kaz asked. "Sometimes, Rainbow Dash's ego can get the best of her and it can cause her to make big mistakes." Sunset explained. "I think you guys are worrying too much. Rainbow has the edge now, there is no way SlickNick can beat her." Kaz exclaimed. "I hope." Tom and Sunset both said with their still worried thoughts as they continued to watch the match. "Inferno Gust!" Takinom uses another fire attack to throw Raimusa back. Raimusa struggles to get back up after that attack and Takinom floats down right next to him with a triumphed smirk. "Ha! Still think Overworlders are better?" "Grounding Grapple!" Raimusa responded with an attack that fired an aura beam that knocked Takinom back. "Already, that was good but I can do one better. Fireram!"Takinom fired another fire attack straight toward Raimusa. "Terraport!" Raimusa then used a terraforming-like attack to counter Takinom's but the attack did something else as everything turned to white. Raimusa and Takinom find themselves in a gloomy swampland. "What the? What happened to the Lava Pond?" Takinom questions as she looks at the new location and with one sniff from this place make Takinom feel nauseous. "And why does it smell so bad?" "Because, it's now the Gloomuck Swamp." Raimusa told her, "I use my attack 'Grounding Grapple' to reorder my location deck to this place. Then, I use Terraport to bring us here." He explained. "Yeah, will it going to take more than a new place to throw me off my game! Torrent of Flame!" Takinom stated as she aimed another fire attack right on Raimusa. Raimusa smirks after the attack hits him, then he uses one of his own. "Vine Snare!" Once again, his fingers turn into vines and wrap themselves around Takinom, only this time they were really strong. "What's going on with those vines?" Takinom questions as she couldn't break out of the vines. Raimusa then uses them to throw Takinom aside. "There is a reason I chose this place. In the Gloomuck Swamp earth attacks are way strong here and your fire attacks are now too weak. Let me show you! Earth Pulse!" He unleashes a powerful earth attack that launches Takinom far away. She crashed back down, hard. As she was trying to get back up, she thought to herself. 'Great, what now? My fire attacks are now useless.' Rainbow Dash thought and then got an idea. But then, Raimusa found her and used another attack. "Pebblestorm!" The same 'Pebblestorm' attack only, more powerful. "Iron Balls!" large balls of iron shoot out of Takinom's glowing eyes to counter Pebblestorm but some of them hit her. "Progressive Speed!" Takinom launches a green energy attack shape as an arrow. Raimusa avoids the attack and hits Takinom with one of his own. "Windslash!" Takinom got knocked back with that attack. "You're done for," Raimusa stated to her. "Not yet, Cyclone Slam!" Takinom summoned a tornado of wind that pushed him away. When he landed, he looked back at Takinom in shock. "How!? Cyclone Slam is an earth and air attack! How are you able to use it?" He asked her. "The same way I got fired. Progressive Speed lets me use air attack if my speed is better than yours, which it is." Takinom stated, triumphantly. "Lightning Burst!" Then, lightning came out of her hand and sent Raimusa further back. "Guessing you're almost out of energy. Meaning one more attack and I win." Takinom said with a smirk. Raimusa looks up and sees Takinom come towards him. "I hate to use this dirty trick but I have no choice. Rock Wave!" He slams his fists on the ground and summons massive boulders ahead in the opposite direction. Then, He jumps on the Rock Wave and starts running on it. Back at the port court, Tom, Sunset, and Kaz were shocked at the action Raimusa is taking. "What is he doing?" Sunset asked. "If he reaches the end then it will hit him. Is he trying to get coded by his own attack?" Kaz wondered. Tom looks closer at the battle board and notices something. "Wait, he still hasn't used his mugic yet. That mugic, it can't be." Raimusa reaches the end and his powerful Rock Wave is about to hit him. "What's he doing? Is this his way of giving up? Ha, can't blame him, it is me he was up against." Takinom thought that what it was. Before the attack could crash on him. he shouted, "Song of Reversal!" From the battle board, Raimusa's only mugic counter moves toward his mugic and once it does, the mugic starts to play its song. Then two rays of light, one blue, and one red, shine down on Raimusa and Takinom. The two lights then make Raimusa and Takinom switch places. Now Takinom is in the spot where Raimusa's Rock Wave is about to hit. "What?! No!" The attack hit and Takinom exploded into code. Both were back in the drome only Rainbow Dash was back as herself. Then the Chaotic revolver returned and announced. "The winner of the match is SlickNick." The same white energy returns and wraps itself around Raimusa changing him back to Nick. "No way, I lost." Rainbow said in disbelief. "That right, This is why Overworlders rule and Underworlders drool." Nick said, proudly. "You only beat me cause of that stupid move!" Rainbow shot back. Nick shrugged and removed his scanner from the slot. "Whatever still doesn't change the fact I won." SlickNick left the drome. Rainbow groaned and removed her own scanner. "I lost my first match. I hope Applejack doesn't find out." She then leaves. > Chapter 7 C is for Pinkie > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Best luck you guys!" Sunset waves her friends off. (With Pinkie) Pinkie has arrived at the Chirrul Drome, the door opens and she happily bounces in. When she entered, she was so amazed by the design of the inside drome that she started bouncing and whooshed around the room. Then, the chaotic revolt appeared. "Pinkamena Diane Pie, Chaotic Code Name: Party Pink." But Pinkie wasn't listening to the revolt as she was still playing around. "Party Pink." Again, Pinkie wasn't listening to it. "Party Pink!" The revolt spoke at a louder volume this time, making Pinkie finally stop and listen. "Whoop what are you." She tries to reach for the revolver. "Enough Party Pink. Step down and Dock your scanner." Then the slot popped open, Pinkie hopped down and moved toward it. She places the scanner on it and her battle screen appears. "Ooh, shining." She awes at the sight of it and places her hands on it, feeling it. "It's really real!" She sheer as she plays around with the battle board, messing with different scrolls and seeing her online deck. "Oh, there’s Qwun, and Melke, and Liquilizer, and Decrescendo, oh and that!" She continues naming all her cards. Then another person entered. She had long golden blonde hair and green teal eyes. She was wearing a black midriff t-shirt with a white long-sleeved shirt under it and red capris jeans with a blue belt. She had 3 gold bangles on her left wrist and a yellow hair clip on the right side of her hair. The girl looks at Pinkie's action. "Umm... Hey?" She called Pinkie. Pinkie stopped what she was doing and spotted the girl on the other side. Then she moves over to the girl. "Hi there, it's nice to meet you. I'm Pinkie Pie!" She holds out her hand. "And you?" "Your opponent," She answers back. "That's right. Sarah Laurence, Chaotic Code Name: ChaotiKween, Step forward and Dock your scanner." Then another slot appears on the other side. Then, the girl now called Sarah stepped right toward it and put in her scanner. "Look, let's just focus on... " Sarah was cut off from her sentence by Pinkie giving her a big hug. "Oh, This is great! I'm glad to have my first chaotic match with someone like you, I really hope we can be friends afterward." Pinkie cheered with joy in her voice. Sarah tried to push Pinkie away from her but she had a strong grip. "Uh, Pinkie is it? Can we do this later and focus on the match? Please?" She suggested, getting annoyed. "Ok," Pinkie agreed and bounced to her battle board. Sarah sighs in relief and turns her focus on her battle board. 'Ok, this girl may be an airhead but I can't underestimate her. Let's see, if I'm battling her then she might be a Mipedian player or something else. I need to choose carefully.' She thought then selected creatures, "Let's see which creature I should use on this new girl." Sarah stops at a creature that looks like a strange combination of rocks and a tree with eight limbs. 'Nom? Should I really use a powerful creature against a newbie?' She thought about it. "Is that how you choose your creature, battlegear, mugic and locations without a mouse? But, where is the dial for attack cards?" Pinkie asked as she suddenly appeared right next to Sarah. "There isn't one, any attacks can be automatic use in the battle... " As Sarah was explaining, she noticed the Pinkie was suddenly right next to her. "Ahh! What are you doing!?" "Oh, I didn't know if the battle board would work the same just like online." Pinkie explains but notices the creature on her screen. "Hey, is that the creature you’re going to use?" She asked, innocently. "What!? Are you crazy!?" Sarah shouted, then she began to push Pinkie back to her side. "You can see my side while I set up, it's cheated!" She was able to get Pinkie back to her side. "No more playing around! Just up your deck!" Then she walks back to her side. "Okie Dokie Loki!" Pinkie wave. Sarah exhales and returns her focus to the screen. 'Well, since she already saw it, I might as well choose Nom.' Sarah moves her Nom to the battle board. 'Okay, next is battlegear.' Sarah was about to go to her battlegears when. "Sunset!" Pinkie's voice came out. "Wow, how did you get into my scanner?" Sarah looks over and sees Pinkie talking into her scanner. 'I guess she must have a friend here already.' Sarah thought, 'Nevermind, I better stay focused on my deck.' Sarah looks over her battle gear cards until she stops at an image of a huge green crystal. 'The Vlaric Shard, it can help boost my earth attack.' She then put it on her Nom card. "Okay, eeny meeny miny moe which creature should I use?" Pinkie asked out loud as she was choosing her creature. "Oh Her! She be a lot of fun to play as!" She said as she selected her creature. 'Seriously? Is she really choosing by random? Never mind, for my mugic, I better use the Song of Resistance.' Sarah then chose her mugic and placed it on the board. Pinkie already selected her battlegear and mugic, Next, she loaded up her location deck. "I want to play here, and here, and here. Oh, and this place looks fun!" Pinkie stated as she was picking locations. 'Is she choosing by random?' Sarah asked herself. After Pinkie finishes loading up her deck, the revolver announces. "Players, lock your decks." Sarah then pushes the red button on her scanner and sees that Pinkie does the same. Both of their battle screens are revealed showing Sarah's creature Nom and Pinkie's creature was an orange lizard woman in warrior armor with red frill. "Wow, it's the rock danian creature thing, I've never seen him before, who is?" Pinkie wonders. Sarah closes her eyes. "He called Nom, he a powerful elementalist, and you chose Jorre a muge." Once she opens her eyes, Pinkie appears right in front of her face. "Ahh!" Causing Sarah to yelp back. "Really, how did you get him? Did you get him from a rare ultra-boost pack or did you scan him in perim? If-you-did-then-where-did-you-met-him-and-how-is-he? Is-he-really-nice-and-you-two-friend?" Pinkie began asking questions really fast. "Stop it!" Sarah shouted to stop her. Then, she starts to push Pinkie back to her side. "Enough with all this popping into my face thing! Just stay here until the battle starts!" She then walks back. "Okay." Pinkie said, innocently. "Party Pink, because this is your first battle here you will be the attacker. Activate your location randomizer." "Yes sir mister revolver, sir!" Pinkie looked around and spotted the randomizer, "Okay, 1, 2, 3!!!" She cheered as she spun it. The randomizer began flashy random images until it stop at an area with glowing snow-white sand. "The location is, Sands of the Unseen. Now, Choose your attacking creature and its target." "Okay," Pinkie then looked at the battle screen very carefully. "Let see, eeny meeny miny moe catch a tiger by the toe." Pinkie pointed carefully at her creature and Sarah's. "You only have one option! Just say Jorre attacks Nom already!" Sarah shouted in frustration. "I know already just calm down, it's called building suspense." Pinkie claims which annoy Sarah, "Jorre attacks Nom!" "Very well, now, touch your creature card." Then Pinkie playfully touches her Jorre card and once her screen disappears, a white stream of codes wraps itself around Pinkie's body. And when it finished, Pinkie was transformed into her creature Jorre. Pinkie looks at her hands and looks around her new body, "Yowie-Wowie! I’m Jorre!" She then starts to cheer and jump around in joy. "This is cool! I'm really a chaotic creature and I have a tail! I wish Marble, Gummy and Octavio could see this. Wait, who's Octavio?" Next, Sarah does the same with her creature card and the same effect happens to her only she transforms into her creature Nom. "Time to get chaotic new girl." Nom said as he punched his fists. Jorre answers, "Ok, what's next?" "Jorre will battle Nom in the Sands of the Unseen, let the battle begin." The Chaotic revolve began to spin like crazy, Then Jorre turned her head and stared at something. "Viewers, I would suggest closing your eyes because this flash scene might damage them. Oh wait, this is a fanfiction chapter so you guys have nothing to worry about." She stated. "What?" Nom looks confused at Jorre's action. Then, the whole room is enveloped in a growing flash of white. The scene changed to the desert Sands of the Unseen, then Nom stepped out and was looking. "Okay Party Pink, where are you?" He called her. "Over here!" Jorre's voice calls out from above. Nom look up and spotted Jorre joyfully waving to him atop a small rock mountain. She then jumps down in front of him. "Hi there." She said. Nom looked at her dumbfounded, "What? Why didn't you attack me when you were up there?" "Isn't it kind of mean to do that?" Jorre question. "Yeah but that's what you support to do in a drome battle!" Nom said to her. "Really? Okay, but how do I use an attack?" "Just hold out your hand and call the name of the attack." Nom explain And Jorre did what Nom said, holding out her hands. "Let's see, Lightning Burst?" Then, a burst of lightning shot out of Jorre's hand and ended up hitting Nom in the chest, sending him flying back. "Oops, sorry." Jorre apologized to Nom as he hit the ground, hard. Back at the port court, Tom, Sunset, and Kaz watched the battle between Sarah and Pinkie. "I can't tell if this is some kind of clever strategy to throw Sarah off her game or is she really playing dumb?" Kaz questions in confusion. "Eehh, a little bit of the latter." Tom explains to Kaz, "Man, I feel sorry for Sarah. Being paired up with Pinkie has to be hard on her." "Well, Pinkie has always been a girl who rather have fun and be friendly toward people." Sunset stated, "Just hope the battle goes okay for both of them." Nom quickly got up from that Lightning Burst attack, "Ok, no more mister nice guy, I have to take down this newbie or she’s going to make a fool out of me. Pebblestorm!" He then unleashes a swarm of pebbles at Jorre. Seeing this, Jorre's eyes went super wide, and quickly dodge the attack, "Hey, you almost hit me!" Jorre whined. "Yeah, that's the point!" Nom stated, frustrated. "Tectostrike!" He then fired another earth attack straight toward Jorre, making her scream. When the attack hit, it created a smoke cloud. Nom moved closer to the smoke and when it cleared, there was no sight of Jorre anywhere. 'Where did she go? I know Jorre's energy is pretty low but that attack shouldn't have been enough to code her.' Sarah thought from Nom's head. Then, Nom felt a tap on his shoulder, he turned but saw nothing. "Hello, Nom." But he heard her voice. "Jorre? Where are you?" Nom questions stepping back. "I'm right in front of you silly." Her voice answers, playfully, "What's wrong? You acting like you can't... see... me." Her voice tone began to turn fearful. "What happened to my hands!? And my legs!? And tail!?" She was freaking out but then she started to reappear again. "Don't tell me you activate invisibility by accident?" Nom asked. "Wait, that was invisibility? So that's how it looks, so cool." She cheered. Seeing Jorre's action, Nom just got angrier. "Quit messing around! Flash Kick!" He then launches a couple of energy attacks from his legs. Jorre dodged most of them while some weren't even aimed at her. "Hey, why do you keep attacking?! I say I was sorry for hitting you with Lightning Burst." Jorre accidentally fired the electric attack again, hitting Nom again. "Sorry." She apologized again. Nom got up and then his Vlaric Shard appeared on his wrist. "Enough! Let's see how you like this. Terraport!" Nom used a terraforming-like attack that made everything turn white. The whole location of Sands of the Unseen changes into a strange rainforest at night. Jorre was awestruck by the change of location, which annoyed Nom. "How did the desert change to a forest?" Jorre asked. Nom answers her, "I use my last attack to change the location to the Forest of Life, During Aichlyys. And unfortunately for you, during Aichlyys all invisibility is now neutralized." "What!? Really? I just figured out I can do that, no fair." Jorre whined. "Too bad, Thunder Shout!" Nom unleashed a powerful shout attack at Jorre which threw her into some trees. "Ok, calm down Sarah. The new girl is just a little off, don't let her get to you." Then, Nom saw rumbling coming from the trees, and coming out was a large wheel with a motorcycle vehicle inside flying out. Once it landed, it was shown to Nom that Jorre was in the vehicle waving to him. "What!?" Nom had a shocked look on his face "Hey Nom, I figured out how to make my battlegear appear!" Jorre told him. "Why did you choose the Mowercycle?" Nom asked. "Well, I always wanted to ride this in real life and now here I can," Jorre explained but as she was doing that, she accidentally turned it on and the Mowercycle drove her far away from Nom. "Aaahhh!" Nom watched as Jorre took off and exhaled "I swear. If I can't beat her anytime soon, I'm just going to let her code me to end this." He then follows her. Back at the port court, almost everyone was laughing at the action of Pinkie Pie. "Haha! What is wrong with that girl!" One player asked. "Don't know but this is funny." Another added. As the rest of the players were laughing at the match, Tom, Kaz, and Sunset were watching with mixed expressions. "This is no longer a match, it's just a comedy show now," Kaz informed. "Yup," Tom and Sunset both reply. Back to the match, Jorre was screaming as she was driving around out of control. "Somebody stop this thing!" She yells as she continues to drive crazy until she clashes into a tree. The Mowercycle was trash now, Jorre stepped out of it with a few bruises. "Ouch, that hurt." She said in pain. Then, Nom finally caught up with her. "Seriously, what's wrong with you!" Nom questions her, angrily. "That’s a question many asked and nah found an answer," Jorre said feeling dizzy from the clashes. But Nom just got mad, "That's enough! I ended this now! Nom then fired green energy attacks. But the attack didn't hit because she was able to dodge them due to her dazed state. Jorre shook her head to come back to her senses. "Sarah, are you mad at me for attacking you?" She asked, innocently. "Yes! I mean no... I mean... It’s the fact that you hadn't fought back this entire time!" Nom explained to her. "Wait, you want me to fight you?" "Yes, that's the whole point! This is how it works here in chaotic!" Nom stated as his frustration was reaching the point. "Oh okay, then if that ok with you, I start fighting you now!" Jorre said as she get into fighting poses, "So it works by me just calling an attack, right? Fearocity!" Jorre summons a tornado attack that swallows Nom into it and swirls him around, then throws him into a tree. "Great, now she starts taking it seriously." Nom was rubbing the top of his head. Jorre jumps up into the air. "Here comes another one! Airsault!" She makes a huge air attack and throws it to Nom. The attack was already closer to him, and with no time to move out of the way, Nom made a choice. "Song of Resistance!" From the battle board, two of Nom's mugic counters move to her mugic and then the mugic starts to play a song. then, a shield-like construct appears in front of Nom and protects him from the attack. "Phew, that was close." Nom said in relief. Jorre saw this and was amazed by it. "Whoa, is that how mugic works here? It's so magical!" Her eyes tinker, "I want to try too! Notes of Neverwhere!" From the battle board, one of Jorre's mugic counters moves from her to her mugic. Mugic started playing its song and once it was finished, a beam of light shot down to the ground, and the star night time of the forest changed into daylight. "Whoa, the forest has change to daytime." Jorre was in awe. "Wait, you had a mugic that can take away a location ability this entire time?" Nom was twitching at this point. "Why didn't you use it as soon as I send us here!?" Nom shouted, in anguish. "Huh, guess I didn't think about it," Jorre answered simply, which just annoyed Nom. "Wait, does that mean I can use invisibility again?" Nom nodded, "Great-" Then she pulled out some glasses and put them on. "I have the perfect strategy to beat you." Back outside, Kaz was shocked at what Pinkie just did. "Wait, how and when does she get... " Before he could finish asking. "She's Pinkie Pie, don't question it." Tom and Sunset both said. Jorre then turned invisible, Nom started looking around. 'Okay, where did she go?' Sarah asked from Nom's mind. "Blind Fury!" Jorre's voice shouted out, then out of nowhere Nom started getting hit by something, multiple times until he was knocked down to the side. "Where are you!?" Nom asked out of frustration. "Over here!" Jorre's voice could be heard from a direction far away from Nom's left, Nom went and attack that spot but felt nothing. "Hampering Winds!" Then Nom got attacked by another energy attack. "No, over here!" she could from another direction and Nom attacked it but nothing was there. "Velocitrap!" Nom then got trapped in a yellow vortex that spun him around and launch him into another tree. Nom was struggling to get back up. 'She going to coded me at this point. Wait, Nom is a Danian, I may have another way of finding her.' Sarah came up with a plan. Nom calm down and use his antenna to track her, once he had a good signal, "Arborsmash!" He uses a wood attack that hit Jorre and makes her visible again. 'Got her!' Sarah cheered from Nom's mind Jorre stood back up and rubbed the top of her head. "Ouch, how did you find me?" "Windslash!" Nom answer by launching another attack. Jorre quickly move to the opposite side to avoid the attack and went invisible again. "Not so fast! Vine Snare!" Before she could completely turn invisible, Nom smashed a fist into the ground then from Jorre's side vines pop under her and start to wrap her limps, trapping her. Then the Windslash attack suddenly turn itself around like a boomerang and went back in the direction it came. Nom walks forward to the trap Jorre. "Finally, it's almost over. One more attack and you're coded." He stated as he was charging an attack. Jorre then noticed something coming behind Nom, it was the Windslash attack that was headed toward him. "Look! Behind you!" Jorre tries to warn him. "Nice try, I'm not falling for that one." But Nom didn't listen or believe her. "Now, Power... " Before He called his attack, the Windslash hit him and he exploded into code. Back at the port court for the last time, Tom, Sunset, and Kaz watch the end of all the girls' battles. "They did it. Good work, girls." Sunset congrats her friends. "Too bad AJ, Rainbow, and Rarity lost but they all did well for their first match," Tom stated. "Yeah, much better than we did in our first match. And I love the way they battle against Peyton and Sarah." Kaz tries to cover his laugh. "Come on you two, let's meet up with the others." Sunset as the three head toward to meet with the girls. Both creatures were teleported back to the drome room but only Nom was back to being Sarah with a shocked look. Then the Chaotic revolver returned and announced. "The winner of the match is Party Pink." Hearing that, Jorre starts to jump around and cheer, "I won, I won!" As she cheered, the same white energy wrapped itself around Jorre changing her back into Pinkie. Sarah grabbed her scanner and sighed as she shook her head. "I lost by my own attack. The guys will never let me live this down." Then Pinkie runs up to her and hugs her. "Sarah are you okay, it doesn't look like you're hurt anywhere, and we're both back to being normal! That was really fun, thanks for being my opponent. Can we do this again!?" She asked, joyfully. Sarah pushes her off of her, "Maybe not anytime soon. I'm pretty busy and do you have to meet up with your friends." "Oh right, well bye Sarah! See you soon!" Pinkie waved her goodbye. Sarah exited the drome, 'I really hope I never see that girl again or anytime soon.' Sarah thought to herself. "I can't wait to tell the others!" Pinkie was getting ready to leave but noticed something behind her, "Umm, Mister drome, I think you forgot something." She pointed at something on her butt, it was Jorre's tail. The white energy wraps itself around the tail, making it disappear. Then she left. > Chapter 8 The Adventure Starts Now! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twilight arrived back at the port court, where she saw Tom, Sunset, and Kaz. "Twilight!" The form two cheered as they sported and rushed toward her with Kaz following behind them. Sunset then wraps her arms around Twilight in a hug, "Congratulations Twilight!" "Thanks, Sunset, but can you let go? Please?" She asked and Sunset let her go. "HUG ME TOO!" Pinkie shouted as she rushed toward Sunset and tackled her to the ground. Twilight, Tom, and Kaz look down watching Pinkie hugging Sunset and helping them up, "So, are they always like this to each other?" Kaz asked while picking up Pinkie. Tom answers while he helps Sunset up. "More or less, yes." He then looks to Twilight and Pinkie Pie. "Great job on your first match, girls." Tom congratulates them. "Thanks" Twilight beams. "Well, I'm happy for you, darlings. Wish I could say the same about me." Rarity said as she walked up to her friends with a sorrowful look. "Oh Rarity," Pinkie went over to Rarity and patted her on her head to console her. Then, Applejack and Rainbow Dash enter with frowns on their faces and their arms crossed. "This stink." They both uttered in unison. "Come on you two, your first match wasn't that bad." Tom tries to cheer them up. "Heh, yeah. At least mine wasn't as bad as AJ's." Rainbow comment. "Excuse me?!" Applejack responds, angrily. "Ah wasn't the one who got cocky and got tricked!" "Hey, how I was supposed to know he can change location and had that stupid mugic!" Rainbow protest. "Still, you got overconfident and lost!" Applejack pointed out. "You had a rock fall on you!" Rainbow argues back. The two were now in a fierce argument and it was going to get worse until Tom had to push them from each other. Kaz looks at Applejack and Rainbow Dash still arguing. "Geez, Have those two always been like that?" He asks Tom and the others. Rainbow stops fighting with Applejack and looks at Kaz. "Who's this?" "Oh, guys this is my best friend, Kaz." Tom introduces Kaz to the girls, "Kaz, this are Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Pinkie pie." As Tom introduced the girls they each waved to Kaz in their own ways but when Pinkie's name was called up, she rushed toward Kaz and grabbed him in a tight bear hug. "It's so nice to meet you, Tom tolds us so much about you!" Pinkie cheered as she continued her tight hug on him and Kaz's face started to turn blue. Applejack walks over to Pinkie and taps her shoulder, "Pinkie, the fellow doesn't look so good, y'all mind pullin' him down?" She asked. Pinkie looked at Kaz's state and with a sheepish smile, she let go of him. "Oops, sorry." She apologizes as Kaz falls to his butt. "No problem," Kaz said as he got up and rubbed his sore butt. "So, what did Tom say about me?" "Oh, that you're a good friend, a great chaotic player, and have great knowledge about the game." Rarity put in. "But, you’re also a huge nerd that always tries to prove to everyone at your guys' school that chaotic is real even knowing that nobody is going to believe it." Rainbow Dash added. "Rainbow!" Applejack scolded. "What?" "Oh, really," Kaz turned toward Tom, staring daggers at him. Tom had a sheepish look, "Yeah, except for the huge nerd part, and also mostly good things." Tom tries to assure Kaz but by the look of things, he’s not buying it. Tom then turns to the girls to try to change the topic, "Anyways, now you girls had your first battle ready to check out Perim?" Each of the girls nodded but then Kaz, still annoyed, noticed something. "Hey, correct me if I'm wrong but, weren't there six of you guys?" Kaz asked the group. The girls were confused for a minute but then looked around and saw that one of them was missing. "He's right, where's Fluttershy?" Sunset asked. "Don't tell me she got lost," Rainbow asked. "Oh no, the poor dear, getting lost in a place like this." Rarity began to worry. "We better go find her, come on," Tom said and the group went off to search for Fluttershy. With Fluttershy, she was walking around the port court with the girl named Krystella. "Don't worry, we're almost there." She placed a hand on her shoulder and assured her. "I don't know, I should really get back with my friends." Fluttershy said, worried. "It will only take a moment. There he is." Krystella pointed at a person who was leading at a table, that person is Klay, the same one who Twilight battled early. Klay walks toward the pairs and looks down at Fluttershy with a cocky grin. Fluttershy at this point was trembling until Klay placed a hand on her shoulder. "No need to be nervous love, we were all newbies once." He said with a big smile. "Uhh, Krystella says you guys want to help me." Fluttershy said. "Yes, we want to check your deck to see if you're really ready for chaotic. Can I see your scanner?" Klay asked. Fluttershy hesitates to give her scanner to Klay but Krystella grabs it and hands it to Klay. "But... " Fluttershy tries to protest but Klay already slips her scanner into the table with two screens on either side. Once he did that, one of the screens started to show all of Fluttershy's cards. "Whoa," As Fluttershy glazed over at the screen in amazement, she doesn't notice the small smirk on Krystella's and Klay's faces. "Oh no, I don't think your current deck will cut it in chaotic," Klay said to her. "That right, you need a serious update," Krystella added. "Really? But, my friends never said anything about it." Fluttershy stated. "I'm sure they were trying to not be too mean to you." Klay placed his hand on Fluttershy's shoulder, "Look, all you need is some new cards, and lucky for you I have extra. I let you have them, all you need to do is set your scanner to trade, and let us do the rest." "Are you sure?" Fluttershy asked again in worry. Krystella got close to her, "Yeah, just do it and it's all over." Then, a hand pulls Fluttershy's scanner out of the table. The three noticed and turned to see the person who took the scanner was Tom with an angry expression, behind him was Kaz, and the other girls with the same expressions. Rainbow then grabs Fluttershy and pulls her away from the two chaotic players. "Fluttershy, sweetie, are you okay?" Rarity asked in a dramatic worried voice. "Yes, I a'm," Fluttershy answered, still confused over her friend's reaction. "Krystella and Klay, why am I not surprised." Kaz sighs in disgust. "Well, if it isn't major dork and kid loser." Klay's expression turns evil as does Krystella's. "Why can't you idiots mind your own business!?" Klay questions in frustration. "Why do you two always have to scam new players!?" Kaz shot back. "Wait? Scam new players?" Fluttershy questions. Tom turns his attention toward her. "Fluttershy, those guys aren't good people. They were trying to jack your deck. In a few minutes they would had all your cards transferred to their scanner." Tom explains as he hands Fluttershy back her scanner. "What?!" Fluttershy said in shock. Krystella starts to laugh. "Yeah, and it would have worked if you guys didn't show up!" "Tsk," Then, Klay clicks his teeth in annoyance. "I can’t believe your so-called friends are those two idiots." He then noticed the five other girls. "Who's your new pets?" All the girls got enraged by him, especially Rainbow Dash and Applejack who even got into his face. "Who's ya callin' a pest you varmint!?" Applejack shouted. "Yeah, and who do you think you are trying to trick our friend?!" Rainbow Dash questions him. Klay backed off a bit and stated. "Stay back you," Klay then saw Twilight in the group. "You! You're the brat that tricked me out of a win!" He ranted. "Hey, you have no room to say that! And besides, like the drome said I beat fair and square!" Twilight shot back. Krystella giggled and said, "Chill Klay, it's not like this is the first time a newbie beat you." Klay shot a disapproving glare at her. Klay back to the girls "Anyways, it's not our fault your friend was dumb enough to fall for it." He mocks Fluttershy. Fluttershy almost cried for this until, "Klaybourne!" A voice with a dark tone behind it, called to him. Klay turned to the source of the voice and his face turned pale as the person calling to him was Sunset who looked absolutely mad with her arms crossed. Klay trembles seeing Sunset again, "L-look... Red... If y-you think... can... threaten me then... " Klay tries to act tough but Sunset's glare shakes him to his core. Sweating buckets, Klay turns to leave. "Come on Krystella, there's no point in staying here." He left and Krystella followed with a huff. Tom turns to face Fluttershy, "Hey Shy, check your scanner to make sure all your cards are still there." She nodded and did what Tom said, "Well?" "All my cards are still here," She answered but then lowered her head in shame. "I'm sorry for the trouble I caused." Rainbow placed a hand on her shoulder. "No worry Shy, you have nothing to apologize for." She told her. "No, she does," A male voice called out, walking toward the group was a man with yellow hair, and red skin, and was wearing a black leather jacket. And following behind him were other people wearing leather jackets too. "She owes us one for humiliating one of my men!" The main one stated. "What are you talking about? And who are you?" Rainbow Dash asked. The main male adjusted his jacket and answered her, "The name is Garble and this is my pack, The Dragon Pack." He pointed to the group behind him. Sunset then went to Kaz and whispered to him. "Hey Kaz, are those the dragon pack chaotic players you were talking about earlier?" Kaz nodded, "Yeah, that's them. And that one is their leader, Garble. His screen name is BlazeFang, and from what I red, nothing good." Kaz whispers, not noticing Garble's rage expression. "Hey! Don't talk like I'm not in the room, you idiot!" Garble yelled, Kaz shuddered and ran behind Applejack to hide. "Now, you're going to pay for what you did to one of my men!" He pointed at Fluttershy, scaring her. Tom came in between them and spoke, "Look, Fluttershy didn't do anything wrong. She beat your friend fair and square!" "What!?" Garble growls and grabs onto Tom's shirt, pulling him closer to his face, "You trying to call me a liar?" "Hey let go of him, you..." Rainbow shouted as she was about to touch her geode to use her power but noticed that she wasn't wearing it. "What? where's my geode?" But Applejack ended up grabbing Garble's wrist and forcing him off Tom. "That's enough, partner. Now leave before I make you." Applejack warns him, coldly. Garble continues to glare at Applejack and the others. After a few seconds, Garble pulls his wrist away from Applejack, "Fine," He turns away from Tom and the others. "We settle this next time, we’re leaving now." He said, facing his Dragon Pack. "What?! What about me getting payback?" Clump whine. "Shut it!" Garble shouted at him but then leaned close to whisper. "Look, we get them but not right now." He then wraps his arm on Garble and begins walking with him. "Let's go!" He shouted. The rest of the pack follows, one of them that has purple skin and yellow hair with bangs covering his eyes moves close to them. "You've never been the one to back down so easily, what's wrong?" He asked Garble. "Shut up, I have a plan... " He whispered and they all left. "You okay, Tom?" Applejack asked as Tom was adjusting his shirt. "Yeah, I didn't think it would end so well." Tom stated. "Ah can't believe the nerve of those chaotic players. First, that Peyton fella made a joke out of me in our match. Then, those two rats try to steal from our sweet Fluttershy. And, those Dragon jerks try to start a fight with us. What is wrong with the people here!?" Applejack ranted. "Yeah, but don't worry, Applejack. Not every chaotic players are like those guys." Tom said. Then, Rainbow Dash began to look around, frantically, "Uh, Is something wrong RD?" Tom asked Rainbow Dash in concern. "My geode is gone!" She screams, "I don't get it. I had it a moment ago!" She checked the floor like crazy. Rarity placed a hand on her shoulder in an attempt to calm her down. "Rainbow, please calm yourself. I'm sure it's not as bad as you think. But seriously, how careless can you be to lose your..." As Rarity was lecturing Rainbow, she noticed there was something missing from her chest. "My geode is gone too!" She screams. The girls heard this and checked their own. "Ah lost meh geode too!" Applejack shouted. "Ours too!" Twilight, Pinkie and Fluttershy all scream. "Whoa, calm down girls." Sunset said, trying to calm her friends, "Yeah, I forgot to mention. For some reason, our geodes don't come with us in chaotic. I tried to port here with mine a few times but it never worked." She explained. "Really? I wonder why that is?" Twilight wonder. "Wait! Does that mean we can't use our powers when we are here?!" Rainbow asked, worried. "We can't even pony up?!" "Well... " The group were now seated at a table and Sunset was telling her friends how she was able to use her power in Gothos Tower during her first time here. "Wow, that's so cool Sunset!" Pinkie beam. "Especially the part where you fought the M'arrillians!" Rainbow added. "That's our girl." Applejack claim. "Thanks, girls. But ever since then, I haven't been able to pony-up again." Sunset tells them. "Really? Have you tried to make a similar event to how it happen?" Twilight asked. Sunset turned toward Tom and Kaz with a deadly glare, causing the two to look away in fear. "Yeah, we make a few attempts," Then, scenes of Tom and Kaz putting Sunset in danger to activate her power. Like, she almost gets hit by rocks from an avalanche, she hops through The Lava Pond while lava geysers pop up next to her, then, she falls off from very tall places, and lastly, she almost gets hit by attacks from some mad chaotic creatures."But to no avail." She finishes, dryly. "We're sorry!" Tom and Kaz bow their heads on the table in an apology. Sunset shrugs it off but the girls look at the boy's strange behavior, curiously. Tom, wanting to change the subject before any of them ask, said. "Now that you all had your first taste in the dromes, are you all ready to see Perim?" He asked. "You bet we are!" Applejack answered. "Yeah, I wanted an opportunity to study the physical laws of a novel dimension, Twice." Twilight stated. "Let go already!" Rainbow Dash pumps up her fists. "I really hope the mean creatures don't try to hurt us." Fluttershy said in worry. "Don't worry about it Shy," Kaz comforted Fluttershy, "As long as we stay away from the dangerous ones, we'll be fine." But his comfort only makes her worry even worse. “Let go, let go, let go!” Pinkie said, excited as she pulled Tom’s and Sunset’s arms away. “I really want to meet the Mipedians and be friends with them… " “Whoa, hold it there.” Rainbow Dash holds her hand in front of Pinkie. “Who said we were going to the Mipedians first?” She questions Pinkie. “We should go to The Underworld first!” “Why would we want to go to a creepy and scary place like The Underworld?” Rarity questions her. “Because, they have the best locations, creatures, battlegears, and..." Rainbow continued listing off her points. "Yes but, The Overworld has nicer creatures and better places. It should be our first destination.” Rarity suggests. "What?! No way we're going there first!" Rainbow protests. "Yeah! Our first place should be Mount Pillar in the Danian area." Applejack said. "We are not going to a giant ant hill!" Rarity shouted. "That's right!" Rainbow agreed. The three girls start to argue with the others trying to stop them. "Easy girls, there’s a simple solution. We just split up, We each take you guys to your favorite tribes and get your scans. And when we finish, we can rotate if you want." Tom suggested. "Okay but, how do we each take them to four different tribes when there’s only two of us, not counting Sunset?" Kaz asked. Before anyone could answer, a familiar voice called to them. "Yo, what's up Major T and Kaz!" Then, two people walk toward them. The two were Peyton and Sarah, the chaotic players Applejack and Pinkie battled earlier. “Sorry we’re late guys, you wouldn't believe the players me and Peyton battled today,” Sarah said but then, she noticed the Rainbooms seated with Tom and Kaz. “Oh, who are your new friends?” She asked. But then, She and Peyton spotted Applejack and Pinkie Pie seated with them. All four of their eyes went wide in shock. "YOU!?" All shouted but Peyton and Pinkie's tones sounded much happier while Sarah and Applejack's sounded more dreadful. Pinkie jumps out of her seat and grabs Sarah in a hug. “Sarah! It's so good to see you again!” She said, cheerfully. "W-What? What are you doing here?!" Sarah asks and tries to push Pinkie off her. Then, Peyton walked toward Applejack, "Yo, you're Jack Hammer . Huh, you must have really wanted that date, or are you after my sweet moves." Applejack looks really annoyed by Peyton's statement. Seeing this, Tom stood up and got everyone's attention. "Everyone calm down. It looks like I have to make another introduction. Girls, these are Sarah and Peyton, my friends from chaotic. And guys, these are my friends from Canterlot High School, Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy." "Oh, so these are the friends you make in Canterlot." Sarah exclaimed, finally getting Pinkie off her. But, when Peyton looks closer to each of the girls, his eyes turn into stars. "No way! You girls are The Rainbooms!" Peyton said in excitement. Kaz and Sarah look at Peyton, confusedly. "The Rainbooms?" Sarah questions. “Yeah! They're an awesome band from Canterlot!” Peyten then plays a video on his scanner. “I watch all their videos!" The video shows Rainbow Dash doing a guitar solo. Rainbow beams at this and walks around to his side. "Awesome, glad to see you have good taste!" "Yeah, I especially love your special effects!" As the video was still playing Rainbow's guitar solo, It shows Rainbow glowing blue and growing out pony ears, wings, and a tail. This causes Tom, Kaz, and the others to have surprised reactions. "Wait? Is she glowing with ears and wings?" Sarah asked. "Yeah, you girls must have a really good effect artist!" Peyton stated. "What this isn't a... " Rainbow was about to protest until Tom quickly moved to cover her mouth. "Yeah, something like that." Tom answers, still holding Rainbow’s mouth. "Is that how everyone else outside of Canterlot saw our video everytime we pony-up?" Sunset wonders as she watches the video. "You guys never told them about our equestria magic?" Fluttershy asked Kaz. "Well, without any proof, we can't just tell them you guys got those powers from a magic talking ponies dimension." Kaz explained and The others nodded in understanding. "Anyways, your guys' timing is perfect." Tom let go of Rainbow Dash, then turned to Peyton and Sarah. "You see, we plan on taking the girls to Perim but they want to visit their own favorite tribe." "So you want us to be extras." Peyton added, getting what Tom means. "Yeah, I'll take Twilight, Rarity, and Fluttershy to the overworld. And Kaz can take Sunset and Rainbow Dash with him to the underworld." Pinkie then stares at Sarah, Peyton, and Applejack. "Oh, that means the rest of us can go together!" She said, rushing over to Sarah and Sarah trying to stop her. While Peyton smiled and Applejack groaned at this suggestion. As Sarah was trying to stop Pinkie, she turned toward Tom pleading with him to help her. "Actually Pinkie, since Peyton is more into Mipedians, you sure just go with him and Sarah and Applejack can go together since they're both Danian players," Tom suggests. "Yes!" Sarah agreed as she got Pinkie off her. “Pinkie might not have any Danian location scans and the same is for Applejack not having Mipedian location scans. So there’s no way we can... " “No worry girl,” Peyton pulled out his scanner and on it was the Mount Pillar location card, “I have extra scans of Mount Pillar just in case. And, I can throw in another Mipedim Oasis scan for AJ here." "No need, I have 7 extra Mipedim Oasis cards for when I get to Chaotic and visit there with all my friends." Pinkie shows her own location scans. "Wow, I like the way you think, Pinky!" Peyton beamed at Pinkie as he threw his arm over her shoulders and they started to burst out laughing. While Sarah and Applejack look on with dread. "Well, I guess that settles that." Tom gave an apologetic response but unknown to all of them there was some kind of listening device inside his shirt. Later, Tom, Kaz, Sarah, Peyton and Sunset stand on a teleport pad while the rest of the girls stand on another one. "Okay, everyone ready?" Tom asked. "Yes, we got our Kiru City cards ready," Twilight said as She, Rarity, and Fluttershy showed their Kiru city cards on each of their scanners. "You two have your UnderWorld City ready?" Kaz asked. "You bet!" Rainbow answers as she and Sunset show that card in their scanners. "And we decided to see the Mipedians first!" Peyton tells everyone. "Yeah!" Pinkie agrees as two high five but Sarah and Applejack don't look too happy about this. "Alright guys, now just press the button on your scanner. In three, two, one!" The others did what Tom said and they all disappeared in a blue beam of light. But then, The Dragon Pack shows up as Tom and the others ports. They each got onto a teleport pad, "This was a great idea, Garble." Clump said to him. Garble had a scary look on his face as he looked at his scanner. "Yeah, we're going to make those new girls' first time in Perim a nightmare." He declares as he and his crew press their scanners and then disappear. > Chapter 9 The Wonderful World of Perim > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kiru City Tom, Twilight, Rarity and Fluttershy have successfully ported to the city. "We made it, so what do you all think?" Tom asked the girls. The girls looked around and were amazed by the sight of the city and the humanoid creatures going about their life. "This is spectacular!" Twilight let out a squee. "We really are in a city from another world! The buildings, the structure, everything!" "I do admit, this city is quite beautiful, in an old-place kind of way." Rarity admires. Fluttershy was looking at the Overworld citizens walking about. "Aww, all of them are so cute!" The others check out and gawk at the Overworld citizens with Fluttershy. "Look at them. Some of them I never seen in the game." Twilight stated. "Yeah, most of them aren't fighting creatures." Tom replied. Rarity moves toward Tom, "Oh, I see. So Tom, what are we doing here?" She asked. "Oh, are we going to see Maxxor? Since this is his city?" Twilight asked. "Non, Maxxor's busy on a lot of missions so he's not in Kiru city most of the time." Tom explains to the girls, "We're here to get you guys some battlegears, and I know the perfect guy to get it from." He led the girls, from the same place they were at, two more players ported in. And it’s was two members of The Dragon Packs, one of them was Clump and the other was a teenage boy with pale white skin, pink hair and he was a lot taller than Clump. "Come on Fume. We got to catch up to them." Clump said to the player called Fume and the two followed. Meanwhile, Tom and the girls reach a building surrounded by Overworld guards. Tom led them around the building to a locked wooden door, then he knocked on it. "Leave the talking to me." Tom whispered to the girls. Then, the door starts to slowly open, a little. And sneaking through it was a creature that appeared to be very tall and has blue eyes. "Hey Olkiex." Tom greeted the creature. The creature called Olkiex, opened the door enough to show his figure. He was a big four-armed beaver creature. "Uh, What are you doing here? Bodal is busy right now." He told the group. The girls were a bit shocked at his appearance except for Tom and Fluttershy, who's the latter stood frozen with her eyes wide. "Don't worry, I'm just here to get some battlegears for my friends." Tom said as he tried to get in but Olkiex pushed him back. "No, Bodal really doesn't want anyone else here. Please just go... " Before Olkiex could finish his sentence, Fluttershy rushed inside and wrapped her arms around Olkiex. "Whoa, what are you..?!" "He so cute!" Fluttershy hug Olkiex tightly, "And so fluffy." Olkiex s away from the door and Tom and the others enter in. "Sorry Olkiex, Fluttershy loves everything about animals," Tom stated. "What is going on?!" A voice shouted, the group turned to see coming to the room was a short green skin man with a large head and was dressed well. He looked at Tom and uttered, "Oh it's you, what do you want this time?" The green man questions Tom. "Hey Bodal," Tom waved to the little green man, "I just need some battlegear scans for my new friends over there," He pointed at Twilight, Rarity and Fluttershy who still hugging Olkiex. "And we'll be on our way." "No way!" Bodal shouted, "Anytime you want battlegear scans from me, I always found myself in trouble! Like when Intress finds out I was the one who lets you know about her and Maxxor's mission, or when Chaor stole Telebracers, and when The Danians invaded Kiru City!" "Calm down Bodal, we just want some simply battlegears for my friends." Tom explained while motioning him to calm down. Twilight walks over to Tom, " Tom, are you sure we should be getting our battlegear scans from him??" She pointed at Bodal. "Yeah, Bodal is the go to guy if you want the best Overworld battlegear." "Really? In the game he's pretty useless to any team, is he really that important?" Twilight asked but hearing this set off Bodal. "I'll have you know human, I hold one of the most important positions in the Overworld. I'm in charge of the Kiru City Arsenal, the largest Battlegear depot in the entire OverWorld. I look over and maintain all the best battlegears our warriors use on a daily basis. Including, our secret gears like where Maxxor keeps the armor he uses to defeat Aa'une, and our new battlegear the Chainclaw which were allowed to destroy... " As Bodal was explaining, his eyes went wide as he realized he just told them everything. His face went from panic then lowered down his head in shame. "You can scan whatever you want if you don't said anything to anyone." Tom patted Bodal on the back, "It's okay, we just want the regular gears." Then Bodal walked toward the next room. Twilight walked over and pointed up her to asked. "He's a blabbermouth, he can't help himself sometimes, come on." Tom waves to the girls to follow him. Twilight still looks concerned but Rarity simply follows after Tom with Twilight coming soon after. Fluttershy finally let go of Olkiex, "It's was very nice to meet you mister Olkiex." Fluttershy politely said as she took off with the others. Olkiex was left with his face fresh and confused. Underworld City Kaz, Sunset and Rainbow Dash had just arrived in the middle of Underworld City. Rainbow Dash looks around and is creep out over the scary look of Underworld City but when her friends see her reaction, " Uh, I mean doesn't look half bad." She tries to look tough. "Welcome to the Underworld," Kaz introduced Rainbow to Underworld City and then took a whiff, "The best place for any Underworld players!" "I wouldn't say that about all Underworld players," Sunset stated as she looking creep out. "I'm still not used to this place." "That's because you spend too much time in the Overworld with Tom." Kaz said. Sunset rolls her eyes and turns toward Rainbow Dash. "Rainbow, if this is too much for you we can try somewhere else?" "What?! Never, I'm awesome," Rainbow tries to put on a tough look. "And it's going to take more than Halloweentown to make me lose my coo... " But then, A huge sound was coming from some nearby trash cans which caused Rainbow to scream and jump up in fear into Sunset's arms. It's soon revealed that it was just a small rat-like creature coming out. Seeing this, Rainbow blush and turn to Sunset. "Just practicing my jumps." She's embarrassingly said. Sunset gave her a deadpan look and put her down. "Okay Kaz, where too?" She asked Kaz. "Follow me." He said and the group went off. They have reached a colosseum-like building. "This is the UnderWorld Colosseum, whenever two creatures are having beef with each other they settle it here." The group makes their way inside and to the gallery seats to watch the fights. "This is perfect, you can get scans from the strongest creatures in the UnderWorlders." Kaz stated. As they were taking their seats, a small but large humanoid rabbit with green skin walked up to them. "Kaz, long time no see." He greeted Kaz. Seeing him, Kaz gave a smile. "H'earring," He called the small creature, "What're you doing here?" He asked. "I'm just here to watch some good fights." H'earring answer, then he spotted the two girls stating at him. "Who's your new friends?" "Oh H'earring, those are Sunset and Rainbow Dash. Guys this is H'earring, he's a good friend." Kaz introduces the three. "Nice to meet you." Sunset bent down and held out her hand to greet him. And H'earring accepted and shook it. Rainbow looked at him and said, "Hey there, little guy." "Hey! Who’ are you calling little?" H'earring replies, annoyed. "Anywhere H'earring, what are you doing here?" Kaz asked. "Oh, I'm just here to enjoy the show but what about you guys, what brings you all here?" "Well, our friend Rainbow Dash's new and we just getting her some underworld scans. So we came to the Colosseum to scan some underworld creatures and are planning to headed to Ulmar's lab for some battlegears." Kaz explain to H'earring, "Say H'earring, you know any places that have some good mugic?" He quickly asked. "I may, but it's going to cost you some Dractyl's scales." He stated. Kaz was grossed out by H'earring's price, "Deal," he agreed. "Dractyl's scales?" Sunset and Rainbow both question. "I'll explain later," Kaz said, then the first match of the Colosseum is now beginning as the crowd started to cheered. At The top of the stands, a blue lizard-like creature with red scales holds up a megaphone-like object and makes an announcement. "Nivenna will now challenge Ketacc!" Stepping onto the field is a gray woman with long red hair and wearing a black cloak. And coming from the other side is a big orange ogre with black dreadlocks and tiny spikes all over his body. "Take your position!" the blue lizard creature said. Kaz, Sunset, Rainbow Dash and H'earring watch the fight begin. "Alright, pay closer attention you guys. The rules are simple, each creature is allowed to use one battlegear and one mugic." H'earring explain to Sunset and Rainbow. From the battlefield, Nivenna is holding a lasso-like battlegear and Ketacc is holding a axe-like battlegear. "Kind of like a one-on-one match in the game." Sunset pointed out. "This is going to be so cool." Rainbow was getting bump up. H'earring then turned toward Kaz. "I'm quite surprised at you Kaz, you coming to the Colosseum since your last two fights here." "Wait, Kaz fought here?!" Rainbow asked in surprise. "As here, here, and not in the drome?" Sunset question too. Kaz looks away with a mix of embarrassment and dread, "I really rather not talk about it. Now enough talking, Agitos is about to begin the match." "Let's the battle begin!" The blue lizard creature now called Agitos shouted and the match began. Ketacc started by swinging his axe toward Nivenna but she jump up in the air and gave him a kick to the head. Ketacc was send skidded across the ring, then she start firing multiple energy attacks at him and he had to get hit by them. Nivenna ran straight toward him and try to throw a punch but Ketacc caught it at the last minute than toss her to the other side. Next, Ketacc let out a fire attack from his mouth, Nivenna manage to avoid them and try to attack him with her lasso. "Wow, this is so awesome!" Rainbow look in awe. "Alright girls, choose which creatures you want to scan before they get too weak." Kaz suggest to the two. Sunset and Rainbow Dash pull out their scanners. "I don't know, I already have Nivenna and Ketacc." Rainbow Dash thought. "I think I go for Nivenna," Sunset begins scanning her. 'But she kind of reminds me of Aivenna?' "I see some chaotic players enjoying the show." A deep growling and scary voice said to them. Kaz and the others turn to see the voice came from this world Chaor and with him this world Takinom. "Well if it isn't KidChaor." "Chaor?!" They all said in unison with Kaz and H'earring in shock, Sunset with a bit of fear and Rainbow Dash with excitement. " Uhh... Chaor, it's great to see you again. W-what are you doing here?" Kaz asked. "We just got back and came to watch some fights." Takinom explained to the group. Rainbow Dash start to talk to Chaor, "No way, you're the Chaor. You're the leader of all the underworld and the awesomeness dude around!" She fangirl. Kaz tries to pull her away from Chaor, "Um, Rainbow that's enough. Now please stop before you really annoy him." Is what Kaz thought but... Chaor started to laugh, "Nice to see my reputation is respected by Chaotic." He walked over to Rainbow and patted her on the back. "I think I like this one!" He joyfully said, then he turned toward Sunset. Sunset tries to slowly walk away but Chaor grab her shoulder and her face turns pale. "And you, Van Bloot sees you as his enemy." "What do you mean?" Sunset weakly asked. Takinom answered, "Words got to him on how his plan and Zamool fell to a human girl. And he was mad." She finished with a smirk. Chaor laugh again. "He's been a thorn in my side for a long time. An enemy to Van Bloot is a ally to me." He patted Sunset on her back, hard. "Um, Thanks." Sunset quietly reply, shuddered . As Chaor continue to talk with Sunset and Rainbow Dash while Kaz look at them, jealous. Two other figures were watching them from another gallerie. One of them was Garble looking at the other with rage, and the other was another The Dragon Pack with a pale white skin, motor hawk hair and a black leather jacket. "This is just great, Fizzle. Those idiots are with Chaor now, guess we have to wait until there alone." Garble groaned to his fellow Dragon Pack. As they discussed their next move, Agitos declared the match. "The winner is... Nivenna!" Nivenna is shown standing over the down and defeated Ketac, "Next up, Xiagala will now challenge Piddan!" Somewhere in The Mipedim Oasis Pinkie, Sarah and Applejack follow Peyton through the sandy desert. Peyton and Pinkie were walking in high spirits. "Keep up ladies, we're almost there." He said with a lot of energy. while Sarah and Applejack were lagging behind with exhausted expressions. "How much longer until we get there?" Applejack questions, almost out of breath. "I don't know but I'm already done." Sarah whines. "Don't worry my ladies, we're here!" Peyton stated as the group finally reached a Mipedian village filled with a lot of Mipedians. As soon as they entered, each of the Mipedians glared at them, Applejack looked worried seeing them staring at them. "What's up, my Mipedian bros!" Peyton casually waves and moves toward one of them. "Peyton, wait!" Applejack moves, worried that the Mipedian would do something bad to him. "Good to see you, Melke," But, the Mipedian called Melke returned Peyton's gesture with a high five. "It's good to see you too, Peytonic" Melke smiled. Peyton then pulled Pinkie right next to him. "And I want you all to meet new my friend, Pinkie D. Pie," He introduces Pinkie who is shaking in excitement. "Well, it’s an honor to meet another friend of Pey... " Melke didn't get a chance to finish his sentence, as Pinkie wrapped him in a hug. "Um... " Melke was bewildered by Pinkie. "You're Real!" Pinkie broke the hug and then shook his arm wildly, "It's really, really nice to meet you, I'm Pinkie!" Then, she rushed over to a green Mipedian with wings under his arms and shook one of them. "You must be Ubliqun, can you really fly with those?" She asks as she points at his wings. She next goes to a golden skin one hanged upside down by his tail. "Zhade, happy to meet you too." They both high five. And she stops at a Brown skin Mipedian with green pads. "Hi, I'm Pinkie!" She held out her hand toward him. The Mipedian looks at her suspicion for a second, but he takes her hand. "Siado," He introduced himself, then Peyton walked up to them. "Wow Peyton, your new friend here is quite the character." Siado stated. "She sure is," Peyton agrees and then wraps his arm around Pinkie's neck, "Anyway Pinks, where one of those lucky guys you want as your first creature scan?" "Let see," Pinkie begins to look at the "Oh I can't decide . Oh, I know. Let's have a rock-paper-scissors contest and whoever wins will be my first scan!" She declared. The Mipedians seen confused at Pinkie's ideal but agree with it. Applejack stood there with Sarah, dumbfounded. "How are they getting along with them?" Applejack questions. "I don't know about your friend but, Peyton always had this energy that people gravitas too". Sarah tries to explain, and the two walk toward them. But, back at where they were, two other chaotic players appeared, it was two of The Dragon Pack. One was a skinny dark skin boy with green hair and the other fat purple skin boy with a big weird jaw line. "Good thing those four chose to stick together, I don't think we could take them on by ourselves." The dark skinny one said. "Yeah, I agree. So, what do you think we should do to them?" The chubby purple asked. "I don't know, Vex. But, you heard Garble, we have to make their time here in Perim a nightmare." The dark skinny tail him. "Oh, I got it Baff!" The purple chubby one now called Vex said as he took out his yellow scanner and threw it to Ubliqun, hitting at the back of his head. "Ow," Ubliqun cried out as he rubbed the back of his head, he looked down and spotted Vex'scanner on the ground. He picks it up and then turns to Peyton and the girls. He moves toward them, holding the scanner. "What? Why did you do that!?" The dark skinny now called Baff questions. "Cause, now that Mipedian will get mad at them and probably attack them." Vex explains his ideal. "Okay, even if that works, how would you get your scanner back?" "Oh, um. I don't know," Vex stated and Baff facepalm. Back with the group, Pinkie just got her first creature scan, and it was Siado. "Thanks for the scans." Petyon thanks the Mipedian. "Okay, next up is Mugic. Sobtjek, what's you have from ours?" He then turns to a Mipedian cover in a purple cloak. Sarah and Applejack were just standing around, waiting for their friends to finish until Sarah felt someone tapping her shoulders. She turned and saw Ubliqun standing over them, intimidated. Sarah turned Applejack around and she had the same startle look. Ubliqun then showed them the yellow scanner. "One of you humans dropped your scanner-thing." He said as he handed them the scanner. "Uh, thanks but this isn't any of our scanner." Sarah stated as she held the scanner. "Since it's yellow, it's probably Pinkie's or Peyton." Applejack theorized then three walked toward their friends. The two Dragon Pack were disappointed that their "Idea" didn't work. Back with gathering Mipedians, Pinkie just put her scanner away after getting her Mipedian mugic scan. "Hey Pinkie, Peyton!" The two turn to see Applejack calling out to them with Sarah next to her. "By any chance, did one of ya drop your scanner?" She holds up the scanner. Peyton and Pinkie look confused, "What're you talking about Jackie? I have my scanner right here." Peyton said as he pulled out his scanner. "Hmm, I guess it must be someone else's scanner," Sarah commented. "Yeah, cause I have mine here," Pinkie stated as she pulled her scanner from her hair. Seeing this, Sarah's eyes go wide in shock. "What?! Why were you put your scanner in your hair?!" She questions. "Because I keep everything in my hair!" She said while pulling random stuff like a unicycle, trumpet, soccer ball, strawberry cake and a live penguin. Sarah and everyone else was just dumbfounded by this, "Why would you keep all that stuff in there, and why do you have a live penguin? How do you have a live penguin? In Chaotic we can't bring any other living things!" Sarah shouted. Pinkie just shrugged but Peyton just burst out laughing, "Man Pinks, you're the best nut case ever!" He said as he leaned on her shoulder. Sarah let out a defeated sigh and Applejack patted her on the back. Back at Kiru City The two Dragon Packs were running around until they stopped at a wall with a cage window on the top. "Oh man, we've been running like idiots all day!" Fume complained out of breath. "Yeah, we couldn't find them anywhere!" Clump reply. "Maybe we should give up for now." "No way! I need to get my revenge on Flutterbrat, And I won't stop until I do," Clump angrily stated. "Plus, we both know Garble won't let us." Fume sighs, "Good point fine, let's keep looking." The two were ready to move until they heard a voice. "Thanks for the scans Bodal." It was Tom, his voice was coming from the cage window. Fume climbs on Clump's shoulders to get closer to the window. Through the window, Fume could see Tom with Twilight, Rarity, Fluttershy, Bodal and Olkiex in the Arsenal room. "Just keep me out of your mess," Bodal said with an exhausted look. Twilight and Rarity held their scanners with their first scan battlegears while Fluttershy was holding one of the blushing Olkiex's arms. "Okay Tom, what's next?" Twilight asked. "Next we headed to The Forest of Life, a lot of Overworld creatures hang out there. We can probably find some good ones." "Sounds like a plan, darling." Rarity beam. Fluttershy let go of Olkiex and patted him on his head. "Thanks for everything Olkiex," She warmly smiles. Olkiex rubs the back of his head, "I really didn't do anything," he replies with a confused blush. Tom and the three girls got their scanners and ported to the Forest of Life. Hearing this, Fume looks down at Clump. "You heard that?" He nodded, "Alright, we're going to The Forest of Life!" The two take out their scanners and port too. Back with Bodal and Olkiex, Bodal was getting ready to walk to the next room with a down sigh, "Wait Bodal," until Olkiex called out to him while scratching the top of his head. "Did Attacat say something about something strange was going on in The Forest of Life?" "Don't care, as long as it doesn't come back to me," Bodal stated as he left the room and Olkiex just shrugged. > Chapter 10 New World, Same Trouble Part One > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Forest of Life Tom and the other girls make it to the forest. They ported to a nearby waterfall, the girls were amazed by the sight of everything and walked toward the river. Twilight drops her arm in the water, Rarity looks at her reflection through the water and Fluttershy picks up some flowers near the river. "Tom, this place is beautiful." Twilight exclaimed as she pulled her arm out. "Thanks Twi. Come on, we're going to meet some of the OverWorlders that live here." Tom said, motioned, the three followed him and they did so. But before they were out of sight, Clump and Fume ported right behind them. They spotted the four going in the forest and sneakily followed. The group went deep into the forest but after a few minutes they couldn't find any creatures. "Tom, you said there are supposed to be Overworld creatures living here right?" Twilight began to ask, "Why have we hadn't running into any of them?" "Yeah, good point." Tom agrees as he pulls out his scanner and uses its Proximity Detector mode to find any nearby creatures, but... "Huh? That's strange." "What's wrong Tom?" Rarity asked. "According to my scanner, we’re surrounded by four creatures." Tom stated as his detector showed four dots on the left, right, top and bottom. "But I don't see anything." "Maybe it broke?" Twilight suggests. "No, it's working just fine, I just don't know what’s going on," Tom scratched his head as he and the girls were trying to figure out what was going on, but behind them a root from a tree like-figure started to move slowly toward them. Somewhere else in The Mipedim Oasis Pinkie, Sarah, Applejack and Peyton are marching through the desert. "I can't wait to see Zhade and the others again!" Pinkie claims. "I hear that, Pinks!" Peyton wraps his arm around Pinkie's neck, "We can hang out with them as soon we get our scans of Hunter's Perimeter!" He exclaims and Pinkie cheers for this as both of them start to pump each other up. Sarah looks at them with an angry expression. "Hey Peyton!" She shouted, "Don't forget, after we get Pinkie's scans we headed to Mount Pillar so Applejack can get her Danian scans!" She reminds them but the two act like they didn't hear her. Sarah let out an annoyed groan "It's like listening to Peyton in stereo." "Ah know, it's frustratin'." Applejack agrees, equally annoyed. Sarah then asked her, "How can you stand it?" Applejack stops and thinks about it, "I just remember things would be pretty boring without her." She stated. Sarah ponders on Applejack's word, "Guess you have a point." And she agrees, feeling the same with Peyton. As the four continue make their way to Hunter's Perimeter, the previous Dragon Pack members pursue them from behind "Ok, now what? How are we supposed to ruin their scan quest and get my scanner back?" Vex question, more worried for his scanner. "Yeah, that was a really dumb idea from you!" Baff said. "Hey, it's not my fault Ubliqun didn't attack them!" "Yeah but it still was a stupid way for you to lose your scanner!" Baff argued back, "How would that even work, the scanner hit him from the back!" Vex just replied with a snarl but then, Vex saw something from the distance and waved to Baff, "Hey, look here." Baff walks over to Vex's spot, "Already, what is it?" He asked, annoyed. Vex pointed at it. "Wait, is that?" He turned to Vex and he nodded, "I thought all of them were locked up by now?" h"Yeah," Vex agreed but he got an idea and turned to Baff with a grin. Baff saw it and quickly knew what he was thinking. Vex let out a sigh and agreed, "Fine but we’re going to hit it at the front." The two Dragon Pack members went over to the spot for their next plan. Underworld Colosseum The three UnderWorld chaotic players were walking out of the Colosseum after getting some creature scans with H'earring following them. Rainbow was cheering in joy, "Man, Chaor was so cool! I can't believe he thought we were awesome!" She exclaimed. "You know he was mostly talking to your red hair friend." H'earring pointed out to her. "Yeah, but it was still cool meeting him." Rainbow stated. Kaz crosses his arms. "Yeah, great," He grump. Seeing Kaz's attitude, H'earring asks him. "What's up with you?" "I don't get it. I worked so hard to get on Chaor's good side and Rainbow Dash and Sunset gets it instantly." Kaz explained. "You're not jealous of Sunset?" Kaz let out a sigh, "Not really. I mean, Chaor is bound to like anyone Van Bloot calls an enemy." He stated. "Point taken. " H'earring simply reply. Then, he noticed Sunset lagged behind them. He moved closer to her, "What's wrong with you?" He asked. Sunset trembled a bit, looked at H'earring and answered him, "It's just, meeting the real Chaor was intense." Hearing this, Kaz and Rainbow Dash turn around, "What? Were you terrified of Chaor?" Rainbow jokingly asked Sunset and she nodded, leaving everyone dumbfounded. "But you've been him before in drome matches!" Kaz Pointed. "Yeah, but being him and looking at the real thing are completely different." Sunset exclaimed, embarrassed. The group continued their way to Ulmar's lab and unaware to them, Garble and Fizzle, the two Dragon Packs, were still following them. They make it to Ulmar's lab which was a large castle, Kaz steps forward and knocks on the door. "Ulmar! Are you home!?" Kaz calls him. Then, the door slowly opened showing a small creature but a bit larger than H'earring. He wears a white lab coat, red eyes, green skin, metal hands, and has his brain sticking out of his head. "Hey Ulmar," H'earring wave to him. The creature named Ulmar’s expression turned to anger when he saw Kaz, "You again Human!?" He growled and turned to H'earring, "And H'earring." said, deadpan. "Umm, yeah, we were wondering if you let our new friends scan some of your battlegears?" Kaz pointed back at Sunset and Rainbow who waved to him, nervous. "What!? No way! Every time you come to my lab it always ends in ruin!" Ulmar retorted in rage. "Yeah but those times were an accident." Kaz holds out his hands in defense. 'And mostly your own fault.' He mentions it in his head. "Still no!" "Come on man! Let us get battlegears!" Rainbow Dash shouted. "Please Ulmar?" Kaz beg. "No way, never! Get lost!" Ulmar was about to smash the door, until... "Hang on," H'earing stop him, "You're not keeping us out cause you hiding another dangerous experiment, are you?" Ulmar froze when H'earing said that. "Chaor's still upset with you for the Gigantroper incident." He was getting nervous and H'earing smirk, "Well then, I guess I just report this to Chaor." H'earing turn around to leave. "NO!" But Ulmar shouted to stop them,"Fine, no touching, just get your scans and get out of here." He walked back inside. Everyone smile at being able to scan the battlegears, "Great job H'earing!" Kaz patted the small Underworlders as the two went in. "Let's go, Sunset!" Rainbow waves to her and she nodded, then the girls entered. But, as the door slowly closed, it was stopped by a foot sticking out. The Hunter's Perimeter They have finally reached the place. "Alright Pinks, all we need to do is climb to the top." Peyton explains to Pinkie right next to her. "Why? Can we just scan it from here?" Pinkie asked. "That's because, if we scan the top of Hunter's Perimeter and use it in the battledromes, we have a good bird eye view in matches!" Peyton exclaimed to her, "Ok, now all we need is a grappling hook and some ropes to get up there." Then, out of nowhere Pinkie holds out the exact objects they need. Peyton was surprised at first but, "Just what we need! Awesome Pinks!" He responded. The two began to use the grappling hook and ropes to get to the top. And, far away from Hunter's Perimeter, Sarah and Applejack were sitting around waiting for the two mipedian players. "So, how long do you think it will take?" Applejack asked Sarah. "Knowing those two, who know." Sarah simply answered, "But once they finish, we can head to Mount Pillar and get you some Danian scans." Applejack stood up, "Let me know when they’re done." And began to walk around with her eyes closed and arms behind her head. She didn't get that far until she opened her eyes and saw something coming toward her with a sand trail behind it. Seeing this, Applejack panics and runs from it. "Sarah!" She yells to Sarah, she turns to see Applejack running away from something chasing her. "Help! Run!" Applejack screamed. Sarah looked closely from the distance and saw the thing that was after them was a huge angler fish like creature. When the two ran in Sarah's direction, she got up and ran with Applejack away from the angler fish creature. "What is that?" Applejack question while running. "It's a M'arrillian!" Sarah answered her, "And it looks like the one that used to roman the oasis!" "Ah thought all of those M'arrillian were locked up already, Why this one out!?" Applejack asked. "I don't know. But, why is it chasing us!" Sarah scream as the two still try to escape the M'arrillian. Far away, hiding behind two boulders were Baff and Vex who were snickering seeing the M'arrillian chasing the two girls. "Man, it totally works! I still can't believe it." Baff stated trying to catch his breath. "Yeah, it was hard to make it look like the rocks were coming from those four idiots and not being seen. But, It was worth it!" Vex bursts out laughing and the two continue watching the M'arrillian following Applejack and Sarah toward Hunter's Perimeter where their other friends are at. Underworld City, Ulmar's Lab Ulmar lead the three chaotic players and H'earring to his Battlegear sets. Rainbow was amazed seeing all the Battlegears. "Just scan them and leave." Ulmar exclaim but expression change when he saw Rainbow Dash holding one of his battlegear that was gun-like one, "But don't touch any of them!" He angrily yells but nobody listen to him, he then let out a exasperated sigh. "Never mind," And left to a another room, catching H'earring's attention. "This is awesome! The Pyroblaster, I can't believe I'm holding the real deal!" Rainbow start playful swing around with it, "I wonder how it work... " She asked before pushing the trigger and the Pyroblaster starting shooting out fire that almost hit her friends until she drop it and it stop. Both Kaz and Sunset glare at Rainbow for what just happen, she could only let out, "Opps," Sunset rolled her eyes at this and spotted a battlegear on the floor, It was a bronze object with twin serpents on each side. When Sunset picks it up, she accidentally activates and it spews out fire around itself, making it look like a shield. Sunset freaks out and throws it down, as she drops it the flame turns off. "What was that!?" Sunset question while panting. Kaz picks it up and looks at it closer, "It's the Dragon Pulse!" He exclaimed. "No Way!" Rainbow said as she took the battlegear from Kaz, "In the game this thing gets you a huge courage boost!" She took out her scanner, "Yup, this will be my first battlegear scan!" She points her scanner at the battlegear then the scanner glows on it until the Dragon Pulse card version appears on the scanner screen. "Best battlegear scan here!" Rainbow stated until Sunset said. "Kaz, what’s this one?" She asked Kaz, pointed at a bazooka-like battlegear. "It's the Destructozooka!" Kaz explained, excited. "Please tell me this one doesn't shoot fire too?" Sunset asked, worried. "It does, and a few other elements. In battle you can choose which elements you want for your creature." Kaz stated which got the attention of Rainbow Dash. "Really?" Sunset hold up her code scanner, "Then, I just take a scan." And she start scanning the Destructozooka. And Kaz does the same with his own scanner, "Me too. The one I scanned before wasn't working well, plus I didn't have the time to understand how it worked before using it in a drome match." Then, the Destructozooka card appears on both of their scanners. "Why did you use it in drome match before learning how it works?" Sunset asked. Kaz turns away and scratches the back of his head nervously. "Long story," His only reply. "Whoa!" Rainbow simply moves right next to the battlegear, "Now that's a battlegear!" She pointed her code scanner at it. "Time to make this number two!" She stated with a big grin but when she tried scanning it, her code scanner screen glowed red with a beeping noise."What?" She tries again but it won't scan it, Rainbow starts getting annoyed by this. "Why can't I scan it?!" She bellows. "Sorry Rainbow, but unless you port back to chaotic, our code scanner can only scan one type of card while we're in Perim. You already scan the Dragon Pulse." Kaz answered to her. "You're kidding? Fine, give me a second, I'll head back and scan that Destructozooka!" Rainbow fumbled with her scanner a bit and was getting ready to port back. H'earring slowly open the door to the room Ulmar went into, the three saw this. "What are you doing?" Sunset asked. "Just curious to see what old Ulmar is up to." H'earring finally opens the door. "Are you kidding? You know how Ulmar gets when we mess with him, he will destroy you!" Kaz warns the UnderWorlder. "Yeah but, Chaor wants to make sure nothing like the Gigantroper incident happens again. Plus, if he finds out Ulmar was up to something like that again and I was aware of it, he will destroy both of us." H'earring claim and went into the room. With no choice, Kaz ran after him and the girls followed suit but, unknown to anyone the two Dragon pack members Garble and Fizzle were right behind them. The room led to a stairway down, once everyone reached the bottom, they saw Ulmar working on a desktop controller and right in front of him was a huge black mirror on the wall, connected to two conductor rods on each side with a white crystal ball at the center. "Here goes nothing," Umlar said to himself as he pulled down the lever then the crystal ball started glowing and sending energy to the two conductor rods. Electric energy starts coming from the rods and blasts that energy at the mirror. When it finishes, a huge pink energy starts to appear on the mirror and swirls around it, it continues and a hole begins to open then it shows the city. "It's working!" Ulmar exclaims as he moves away from the controller and walks close to the mirror. "It's finally working!" He screams in joy. "And what's it supposed to be?" A voice questions him, Ulmar's eyes go wide and he turns around to see the voice came from H'earring with Kaz, Sunset and Rainbow Dash behind him. "H'earing!" Ulmar starts to panic seeing the four, "What are you doing down here!" He questions him looking angry. "Never mind that, I just want to know what that machine of yours is doing?" H'earing demand. "None of your business, shrimp! Now leave!" Ulmar tries to get H'earing and the others to leave. H'earring was getting annoyed but then turned around and said, "Okay, I'll just tell Chaor about this." And begin to walk off. "Wait, Stop!" Ulmar motioned him to not leave and let out another defeated sigh, "Fine I tell you," He began to explain. "In short term, this is a gateway portal to another plane of existence." Everyone was frozen and shouted, "What?!" At hearing this. "So, this could lead you to another world?" Sunset asked, worried. "Not really another world. a plane of existence, like a world between our worlds. Think of it like if you have two rooms blocked from each other and in the middle of them is another room with two doors on each side that can lead you to the other room." Ulmar continued, "On my trip to Ovalar Peak location, I discovered those energy waves that with the right power can over a portal to this plane. But after countless numbers of failed experiments, I almost gave up until." He stopped and pointed at the crystal rock. "I found this near the Everrain and the power from that crystal makes it possible to open the plane." He finishes explaining. Kaz, Rainbow and Sunset look closely at the portal in awe, "So what are you planning on doing if you can go to this plane?" Rainbow asked Ulmar. "Well, with the possibility of other worlds, means new territories for the UnderWorld!" Ulmar said, proudly. "Wait, so you planning on invading and taking over?" Sunset questioned in shock and Ulmar nodded. "You can't! This place might have people who have their own lives they living. You can't do this to them!" Sunset protest. "Plus, if there are other creatures, Chaor wouldn't like the idea of having more enemies." H'earring pointed out. Rainbow turns toward Ulmar, "Say Ulmar, by any chance can we go in?" She asked, pointing at Kaz, Sunset and herself. "What?!" Everyone in the room shouted. "Come on, we will be the first players to get some scans on whatever is in there." She stated. "No way," Ulmar refuses, "Right now the portal is letting us see the other world, I'm still not sure it's stable enough to go in and out yet." "What? But, I really want to go in." Rainbow whined, Sunset and Kaz patted her shoulders in comfort. "Then let me help you with that!" Garble's voice echoes through the room as he and Fizzle appear. The two move quickly, Garble grabs a hold on the three Underworld players and pushes them toward the mirror portal. Once they make contact, the energy pulls them in. Once that happens, Fizzle kicks the white crystal off making the mirror lose its power and the portal disappear. "Kaz!" H'earring called to him in worry but all of them were gone. Deep in The Forest of Life"? Tom, Twilight, Rarity and Fluttershy continue moving deeper into the forest but they aren't able to spot any creatures around. And notice the forest looking more green with the strange roots. Rarity falls to her knees. "Can we please take a break? My ankles are starting to hurt." She whined. "Come on Rarity, we've only been at this for an hour," Tom said to her. "An hour is way too long!" Rarity cries out much to her friends' annoyance. Tom was starting to get worried at this point. "I don't get it, where is everyone?" He tries to call out to them, "Owis! Dractyl! Deenha! Julip! Heck, I even take Yokkis at this point!" But he got no response. Fluttershy was nervous about the situation, and her nervousness increased when she heard something move behind her. And when a vine hit her at the back of her head, she let out a scream, catching her friends' attention. They all turn to see Fluttershy shaking while holding the vine that hit her. "I'm sorry, I thought it was something else." She weakly apologizes. Tom turns to the group, "Alright guys, this is starting to look bad, we need to port back to Kiru City and report this to Maxxor." He stated. "But, you said that Maxxor may not be in the city." Twilight reminds him. "There's still some other Overworld warriors that can help." Tom quickly pulled out his scanner, "Anyway, we need to leave." He said to the group. But behind them, another vine appears but this one is moving on its own with some glowing eyes in the shadow. The vine strikes and moves toward Fluttershy. She turned around and seeing this, Fluttershy could only let out another scream.
