Twilight Sparkle Vs. Paintball

Luna's Point Of View (POV in future chapters):

       I darted down the halls of the library, looking for the nearest floor directory or, better yet, a directory of the whole library. If I could find that, I could make a magical copy of it and put that in the fort I would build, if the directory was a little booklet I could just plain take it back with me. Thankfully nopony, or changeling, or draconequus, had found me yet, and I could tell that because nothing had happened on my level. No sounds of dogfights going on above my head since everypony participating except for Sombra had wings, no sounds of any paintball weapons whatsoever.

      They were probably all too busy building their forts. Mine was simple, just a hole in the wall. I kid you not, I'd taken a tapestry off the wall and drilled the wall behind it hollow, and once I had a directory I could use spells to see through the walls of the library, thus enabling me to tunnel to virtually anywhere in the library, straight through the walls.

Fools, I thought to myself. The plan I'd devised was perfect, and in five stages for supreme domination:

       1: Every hero needed a base. Thusly, I needed to build one.

       2: Using my mana pool, which hadn't been shrunken like my body by Twilight's spell, I could place special enchantments over my whole level.

       3: The copy of the library directory would allow me to keep track of my enemies' forts. All I needed to do was some scouting.

       4: Next I had to carefully scout the whole library and mark the other forts on my impromptu battle map, then sort them by threat level so I knew who to attack first.

       5: My last step to supreme domination would be to get all of my enemies down to the loading room before anypony's timer ran out, allowing them to join the game again, this time in a completely new location with a new fort.

       With just these five steps, the night would triumph! First, I just had to actually accomplish steps one and two though. That might take some work. I rounded the corner and stopped cold. There was a directory, but since I'd gone down five floors already, I'd entered a danger zone.

      At the directory stand was Twilight, who had summoned some saddlebags from somewhere and was stuffing them with directories. Resource drainage, a smart tactic. I stayed as still as I could, before with a bright pop of magenta light Twilight was gone.

    I carefully walked up and looked under the table, and there it was! She'd missed one of the two full-library directories, marked with the stairs, emergency exits, windows to the outside, other directory stands, and most importantly-for me, anyway-all the library's tapestries and where they were located.

  Nopony would stand a chance against me now.

Celestia's POV:

       My base was built. That was a simple task, considering my magic hadn't been weakened any by the customized age spell Twilight had cast on all of us. It was rather simple, considering I'd come out right in a corner of a level. I'd just used some magic to stack two bookcases for each of the two walls I actually needed to build, creating the basic frame for my base camp.

      Then I'd used some more magic to make a catwalk spiraling around the top, along with towers where I could fire my gun from. My extra ammunition was stored in the towers, and I had placed balls of invisible magic that would send a tiny twinge to my horn to warn me of when somepony entered or exited my level.

     I had no doubt Twilight was probably panicking, so I decided to look for her and propose an alliance between the two of us. Discord and Chrysalis were wild cards, but I knew Nightmare Moon and Luna would no doubt go looking for each other and since Nightmare was dating Sombra, he'd go with.

    Cadence would probably come straight to me and Twilight, or agonize over the decision for so long the round would be over before she'd choose between the two of us. I placed one more protective charm over the door and left for the staircase, which, according to the directory I'd summoned from my bedchambers, was to the general direction of left.

Discord's POV:

    I knew exactly what Celestia was thinking as she passed my fort, cleverly disguised(if I do say so myself)as a set of bookcases. She thought that me and Chryssy were wild cards, and Nightmare, Luna, and Sombra would be on one team and Cadence, herself, and Twilight would be the opposing team, standing in the path of evil.

   I grabbed my paintball assault rifle and aimed carefully down the zoom sights.....to see a directory in held in the grasp of her golden magic. Of course Celly would be the one to do that. I had to get a directory for myself, and what better way to instill caution-or, well, more caution than usual-into the sun princess than to steal a beneficial item?

  Slinging my assault rifle between my mismatched, beautifully chaotic wings, I took off after her, creeping as silently as I could with a goat hoof attached to me. At least the floor was carpeted and not, say, soap or tile, but soap might be fun.....nah. I already used that one too recently to use it again.

   I made a quiet "Hmm.." and Celestia whipped around faster than a coiled spring uncoiling, firing three paintballs into my fur before I could even get my rifle off my back. Giving me a satisfied smile, she moved on as I grumbled to myself and walked down the stairs that appeared next to me, back to square one: the gear room.

   There were some plush chairs and couches sprinkled around the room, so I hopped on top of a couch and reclined as I watched the ever-changing screens. I tracked Twilight  doing absolutely nothing but weave more shields and enchantments around her fort, even using a couple glyphs and aloud incantations, no doubt of protection from all regions in the arcane as well as physical force.

   Luna was using a library directory and sneaking around, marking Chrysalis's fort on her directory before moving on. As I sat, I felt lonely. If things really did go the way Celestia thought they would, I'd be alone. I allowed an evil grin to slide across my face as I snapped my paw, freeing another statue ready for a second chance from the Canterlot hedge maze.

   "Hey sis, I need your help with something...."
