The Trivia Psycho is back. This time, it's mayhem in a hotel.

July 30-Trivia Murder Party 2

Apple Bloom walks down the streets of Jackbox Village. With a backpack with her and a duffle bag in hand, she heads for a nice looking hotel. There, she sees her cousin, Babs Seed, wave to her.

"Isn't this cool?" Babs said happily. "We get invited to spend the night in this sweet looking hotel."

"Looks pretty nice." Apple Bloom said. "But, I have a scary feeling about this."

Meanwhile, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon walked down the street. They see the hotel, and head for it. They immediately see the Apple duo.

"Looks like Apple Bloom and Babs Seed got invited too." Silver noticed.

"I guess so." Diamond added. "And here come Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo."

Yes, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo approached the hotel as all six girls got together.

"This is one of the nicest hotels I've ever seen." Sweetie praised.

"I agree." Diamond said. "I'll bet the service is good here too."

Scootaloo noticed that Apple Bloom is getting nervous. "Hey, AB. What's wrong?"

"I got a bad feeling about this place, Scoots." Apple Bloom answered. "This feels familiar."

Soon, a bellhop escorted the six girls into the hotel. After being checked in, they were lead to the fifth floor where they got room next to it across from each other. Apple Bloom lied down on her bed. "It's a nice comfy bed. But, something tells me none of us will rest up quietly."

Down the hall, a shadowy figure watches everything. "Time to play again, girls."

Later, night comes. Inside her room, Apple Bloom was getting out her nightshirt when the phone on her nightstand begins to ring. Nervous, she picks it up. "Hello?"

A low male voice comes from the phone. "This is your wake up call. PREPARE TO DIE!"

Scared, she hung up, and exited the room. So did the five other girls. They soon found themselves as plushies. Apple Bloom was a court jester, Sweetie Belle was a yellow screamer, Scootaloo was a green western doll, Diamond was a two faced heart, Silver was a gray doll with glasses, and Babs was a red fish.

"Oh no!" Diamond gasped. "The Trivia Psycho. He's back!"

"Good to see you girls again too." Said the voice from the phone call. "That invitation you girls got was a trap. I want to see how you improved since we last met."

The girls realized that they'll have to play this maniac's game again.

"Okay, Trivia Psycho." Apple Bloom spoke out. "Let's get this over with."

"That's the spirit." The psycho replied. "Okay, first question. Who was Mega Man called when he debuted in Japan?"

The girls were given four choices. Each made their choices. The Trivia Psycho spoke. "The correct answer is Rockman. Now, who got the question right?"

Green checks appeared above Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, Babs Seed, and Diamond Tiara. Scootaloo and Silver Spoon are in trouble.

"I want to show you something." The Psycho said.

Everybody was shown into a room with a big box. The Trivia Psycho explains about this box. "I would like to do a magic trick. You two find a spot in this box to hide."

Silver and Scootaloo saw twenty spots in the box. After finding two spots, the box closed.

"Every good magician needs assistants." The Trivia Psycho said. "Each of you will be given a sword, then, stab though the slots."

Choosing the slots, the four girls stabbed through the box. When it opened, Scootaloo escaped. But, Silver got stabbed. Diamond was hurt because it was her sword that stabbed her. Silver's doll then got sliced in half, and was replaced by a ghostly image.

"Don't forget." The Psycho said. "Even as a ghost, you're still playing. Steal somebody's life force and you might win. Let's keep going."

The creepy contests continues. Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle saw messages on a dusty mirror, hoping to guess which is written by the Psycho's aunt Mildred. Apple Bloom guessed correctly while Sweetie Belle got frozen. Scootaloo got pitted against everybody in a math test. She thought she did good. But, ghostly Silver Spoon beat her. Scootaloo then got hit with electricity.

The old game of chalices returns. Diamond and Babs drank their potions. But, Diamond's had poison. She soon popped. Babs was unfortunate to spin the Death Wheel. It stopped on Death by Slice. And, she got cut to pieces. Later, Apple Bloom finds herself in the lobby with the ghosts of her fallen friends.

"Glad to see you're still alive." The Trivia Psycho said. "But, can you escape? I'm going to give you a category. Original fighters of Super Smash Brothers. Figure out which are the right answers. And, you move one space for each correct guess."

Apple Bloom saw that both answers, Mario and Pikachu, were correct. She moved ahead two spaces.

"You're on your way to escaping." The psycho praised. "But, did you think it was just going to be you?"

The ghosts inched closer. Each question has an extra guess for ghosts to catch up to Apple Bloom. Then, they see something familiar behind them. It was the darkness. As they continue this part of the game, the darkness consumed Scootaloo.

"Don't panic." Said the Trivia Psycho. "After being consumed by the darkness, the players return to normal and show up somewhere in this hotel."

Apple Bloom got close to the exit when a barrier appeared. The Trivia Psycho talked to them. "Not so fast! To escape this barrier, you have to answer the question perfectly. And, that includes the third choice too."

The category was Apples. Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Silver Spoon made their guesses. All three answers, Granny Smith, Braeburn, and Golden Delicious were correct. Apple Bloom broke through the barrier and won the game while her competitors were consumed by darkness. Minutes later, all six girls were in the hallway where their rooms are.

"I found myself in the kitchen." Diamond said. "The chef was nice to give me a muffin to eat."

"Speaking of food," Scootaloo added, "I was taken to a restaurant. Luckily, they were open late."

"I found myself outside in the pool area." Babs Seed told the group.

"After Apple Bloom won," Sweetie Belle said, "Silver and I were in a souvenir shop."

"Well, girls." Apple Bloom said. "At least we were given a free night here. Let's get to sleep."

The six girls went back to their rooms for a good night's sleep. Apple Bloom can relax, knowing the Trivia Psycho is done with her.
