Tirek's Revenge the Video Game - Button Mash and Spike's Adventure

It was a dark, and stormy night.

At a house in Canterlot, a young boy was in a heated gameplay of mashing buttons on his control pad, with the new game he was most fortunate enough to purchase.

The boy is none other but Canterlot High School's local nerd, and video game master, Button Mash. Playing next to him as player two, is Twilight Sparkle's magically enchanted talking dog, Spike.

"Watch out, Spike!" Button shouted, as his avatar quickly slashed a huge wolf that almost chomped on Spike's avatar.

"Thanks, Button!" Spike replied, as he continues to fight off the monsters.

While it was initially strange for a dog to be able to actually talk human, Spike has also surprisingly displayed some level of intelligence befitting for a regular human. Enough to at least know how to use the game controls for a video game, that is. However, for Button Mash, he and his fellow classmates have seen weirder. Furthermore, Button Mash actually enjoyed having Spike for a friend, especially since the dog is almost a better player than Button Mash was.

"Come on," Button grunted, as he quickly presses some buttons to perform some attacks. "YES!! Rock wave! 390 points for me!"

"Not bad, Button," Spike replied. "But not, good enough!!" With that, Spike pressed a few more buttons, as his avatar performs some attacks. "Yeah! Take that you mutts! You curs!" Spike quickly silenced himself. "Whoa....did I just say those things?"

"Yep," Button replied, staring at his dog friend in bewilderment.

"Huh, I've been hanging out with the girls way too much," Spike muttered.

"And that's a bad thing how?" Button asked.

"It's not that it's bad," Spike replied. "It's just, all this talking, all these new perspectives I'm getting, it's kinda making me more human, and less dog."

"Oh," Button nodded his head in understanding. "Well, I'm kinda with you there brother. With all these video gamings, and with what everyone's been telling me, I'm beginning to think I might've been a video gamer way too long."

"Button, you really have been a video gamer, way too long," Spike replied.

"Oh, yeah, I have," Button replied. Then, a lightning storm went off, "ZOINKS!!!!!" Button screamed.

"YIPEE!!!!" Spike yelped.

With that, both the boy and dog dived under the bed, quivering in fear. After a while of collecting themselves, both boys looked to each other, before they broke out, laughing.

"Well, you think you're more human?" Button asked. "I think some of your doggy traits are rubbing off on me, just by hanging around with you."

"I guess so," Spike replied.

Just then, a knock was heard, "Boys? Are you alright in there?" a woman's voice spoke. "I thought I heard screaming."

"Yeah, mom!" Button replied. "I'm alright!"

"We just got spooked by lightning, that's all," Spike barked.

"Okay!" Button's mom replied. "Dinner's in about ten, Button. Oh, and Spike? You're welcome to stay. I hope you like meatloaf."

"Sounds yummy," Spike licked his lips.

"Okay mom!" Button replied. As the sound of footsteps were heard, Spike and Button Mash looked to the TV screen, seeing the progress they've made.

"Guess we're gonna have to save our progress for now," Spike spoke.

"Or maybe we should see if we've got what it takes to make it to level 30?" Button insisted.

Smiling at Button's suggestion, Spike quickly picked up his control pad, as he and Button resume their game.

Then, outside of the house, a stray mist of sparkling magic was floating, when a bolt of lightning passed through it, hitting the mist, and absorbing the magical aura. The bolt of lightning was soon heading straight for Button Mash's house, striking the antenna, conducting its way through the whole facility. Before they knew it, a blackout occurred.

Button Mash and Spike were so caught up in their game, that when the TV suddenly went off, they snapped back to reality, almost as if they've been hit in the face by a baseball bat.

"WHOA!!" both boys exclaimed, as they fell back.

Shaking their heads, the boys looked to see the TV was blacked out.

"NO! NO!" Button wailed, as he ran up to the TV. "We were so close to getting the Midnight Cloak! It's guaranteed to give us a 50+ of evasion in our stats!"

"That's a bummer," Spike whimpered.

"Bummer?!" Button began. "BUMMER?!! TRY GAME OVER!!! With that cloak, we'd stand a chance against Tirek the next time we ever have to run from him again!" Face shifting into anger, Button banged his fist on the machine, "Cursed machine! WORK!! WORK!! WORK!! TURN YOURSELF ON SO WE CAN GET BACK TO OUR GAME!!"

"Whoa! Take it easy, Button!" Spike barked. "Banging never solves anything!" Suddenly, the TV turned itself on. Only this time, the screen was all blood red, rather than the usual rainbow screen that would be displayed when a TV was short circuited.

"Hey! Look at that!" Button exclaimed enthusiastically. "It worked!" Just then, an icon of Tirek's face appeared, only it was laughing, in a more demonic voice.

"Um, is that part of the game?" Spike asked.

"One would think," Button replied.

"You think you have what it takes to best me?!" the Tirek Icon spoke. "You think you, the hero of this game, can defeat me?! Think again! Revenge is a dish best served cold! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!"

Then, with a flash of yellow light, from Tirek's eyes, the whole TV Screen turned dark, and a huge vortex was shown.

"Spike?" Button whimpered, while holding the dog close. "Wh-wh-what's going on?"

"I don't know!" Spike whimpered.

Before either of the boys could react, a large demonic hand came out of the TV, and pulled the screaming boys in.

"AAAAAAAHHH!!!!" Button screamed, as he and Spike tried to hold on, for dear life. "MOM!! HELP!!!"

"TWILIGHT!!!" Spike barked.

Then, with a final pull, both boys finished into the TV, out of thin air.

Once the boys disappeared, the power went on. The TV turned itself on to display the game's normal title page, when Button Mash's mom came in.

"Button Mash?" Button's mom spoke. "Spike? Where are you boys?"
