An "Unreal" Day

by Brian Jacko

The Greatest Team is Formed and the Competition Continues to Grow

Previous Chapter

As time went on, the ponies found themselves competing more and more in the Unreal Tournament. Twilight Sparkle was voted as captain of their team. They called themselves the Mane Six. They dominated throughout the leagues and many other game types. They often faced the most elite teams including the Wonderbolts.

Rainbow Dash got her wish and was able to score a few Duels with Soarin'. After their matches they instantly bonded together and became more than just friends. Rainbow Dash and Soarin' found that they truly were meant for each other and they often spent time bonding inside and outside of the arenas.

The other girls entered many dueling tournaments when not competing in team based games and had to face against some tough competition.

Princess Celestia and Princess Luna decided what Dueling match ups they would like to see most.

Twilight Sparkle often found herself fighting against Trixie. Trixie entered the Unreal Tournament because ponies were not respecting her skills with magic, and she felt that she needed to try something else in order to gain the fame and adoration that she so desperately craved from others. Both mares were masters of the Shock Rifle. Trixie enjoyed taunting Twilight Sparkle when they played against each other.

When Rarity was not volunteering to help the Princesses decorate and create new arenas, she found herself faced up against none other than Prince Blueblood. Even though Prince Blueblood couldn't stand getting his coat dirty, he was inspired to join the Unreal Tournament because he was among the upper class, and seeing that both Princesses were so fanatical about this game made him believe that he could gain respect and possibly have his chance at becoming closer to royalty since the Princesses enjoyed this game so much. He often found himself having battles against Rarity with the Sniper Rifle. Rarity was more than happy to show him a thing or two about head shots.

Rainbow Dash often fought against Lightning Dust. Lightning Dust joined the Unreal Tournament because the Wonderbolts refused to give her a second chance at trying out to become a Wonderbolt. The battles were super fast paced and frantic. They both had quite the affinity for blowing each other to pieces with the Rocket Launcher and strived to be the very best in the arenas. Both of them loved to taunt each other during their battles.

Applejack gladly went hoof to hoof with either Flim or Flam. The Flim and Flam brothers figured that they would try their luck making it big time in the Unreal Tournament since they weren't having much luck selling apple cider anymore thanks to the Apple family's home made apple cider being vastly superior to their own.

Lastly, both Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie would take turns dueling against Gilda. Gilda entered the tournament in order to try to impress Rainbow Dash so she could win her back as a friend and to give Pinkie Pie some revenge for exposing her bitterness and making her look like an angry fool in the past.

There were many other Duel matches that the Princesses arranged, but these match ups seemed to be their most favorite when it came to the Dueling tournaments.

Pinkie Pie was the first pony to ever get the ultimate killing spree award, Massacre by racking up thirty kills without dying in the process. When Pinkie Pie found her most favorite power-up, the Berserk in Death Match games, bodies would drop like flies. On certain arenas like Carbon-Fire, she was able to combine the Berserk with the Damage Amplifier which resulted in the Juggernaut award. No pony could seem to stop her until the effects of the power-ups wore off. Many times, the game became hide and seek for Pinkie Pie because ponies would play keep away from her when Pinkie Pie collected these power-ups and Pinkie Pie just loved to play hide and seek. It was almost as if she was playing a game inside of another game which meant double the fun to her. This was even more terrifying than when she would pick up the invulnerability power-up on arenas like Fearless because at least ponies had the chance to gang up on her with their Impact Hammers and try to blast the power-up off of her with its secondary firing mode and grab it for themselves even if she was still hard to catch. She was like the ultimate killing machine when playing the Death Match game type and she got so manic and high under the effects of these power-ups. They were really the only power-ups that she timed and she was never late to try to collect them the second they respawned.

Princess Luna and Princess Celestia crowned her as the queen of the Death Match game type and she was feared by all. The more ponies participating in a Death Match arena, the happier she became because that meant more frags and more fun. She loved to throw a party afterwards for everypony participating in the Death Match arena with her because she had fun killing them all over and over again and who wouldn't want to throw a party after a good game? Pinkie Pie was the most exciting pony to watch with her random movements and wall dodges. She was able to reach places in arenas that many other ponies thought were not possible to get to. Not even Twilight Sparkle understood all of Pinkie Pie's tricks and arena mobility tactics. The arenas were like her playgrounds and she knew all of the tricks and the quickest ways to get around them.

She also helped invent the option to play games with the multi-wall dodge mechanic so that a pony has the option to dodge off a wall once in mid air and then keep dodging against another nearby wall or object until gravity eventually brought the pony down. Most of the time, a pony could dodge off the walls about two to three times without hitting the ground depending on how close the walls or objects were to each other. She was like a pin ball bouncing off the walls and many of her other friends really didn't like to play with this ability on with her because it just made Pinkie Pie that much crazier and harder to frag. They only played with this ability once in a while to keep Pinkie Pie happy even though the idea was awesome and fun to play games with that kind of unique ability.

Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo desperately wanted to play in the Unreal Tournament when they heard about the stories and saw the trophies being brought back. Scootaloo really wanted to play this game with her hero, Rainbow Dash, but the fillies were too small to play this game and the Princesses ruled that only stallions and mares could play. This game was not intended for fillies and colts.

The Mane Six was a dominating force that gained fame all across Equestria. They were feared by all and they would become legends in the Unreal Tournament arenas.

The end.


Author's Note

I am a dedicated Unreal Tournament player and am an admin for the server [ToJ.cc] Christian Carnage in Unreal Tournament 3. I play with a group of people who play this game every Monday nights on this server at 9pm USA eastern time. My Unreal Tournament 3 name is [ToJ.cc]Mostly_Harmless. I love to Duel as well and I will often put down what I'm doing and play a Duel if someone else asks me. Please feel free to join our server at any time to play. I am also their Co-chapter leader and moderator for their Unreal Tournament 3 forums and my name is Mostly_Harmless on the ToJ.cc website.

I would also like to point out that at the end of the story, I speak about Pinkie Pie inventing an ability called the multi-wall dodge. This was actually my original idea for a special mutator in the game and my friend [ToJ.cc]Danny_Miester was able to take my idea and make it a realty thanks to his coding and modding skills. This option is only available to play on our server and it's very fun to play with.

I do play a few other PC games and you can easily get in touch with me through steam. My steam name is Brian_Jacko. Please check out our website and feel free to sign up an post on the forums. Our website can be found here...
