The darkness filled the elements' vision until a bar appeared, slowly being filled with a green fluid. As the green liquid reached the end of the bar, the darkness disappeared to a land building itself.

"Hello elements," Domme's voice boomed over the land. "This is our only call to you, so I'll tell you what to do; work as a team or work alone. Any 'block' can be destroyed and placed back. You can craft a lot of tools to use, you also have a heads up display to see what you are carrying and using. So good luck, Domme out!"

"Okay; guys, let's work together... guys?" Twilight span around, seeing just a field,a few trees and a cow. "Where are you guys?!" Twilight shouted.


"Come on, let's do this guys! ... guys?" Rainbow flew up, spinning around, only seeing hills and animals. "Come on, where are you guys?"


"Alright, come on guys." Rarity squeaked with glee then screeched with disgust, she was in a cave, damp and dark. "This is not fair!"


"Yippe-kay! Let's go!" Applejack reared up in happiness then looking around in disbelieve, seeing a snow covered land. "Ah, come on. Unfair."


"Time for a party!" Pinkie giggled but turning around saw she was in a cave. "Guys? Come on, where are you? Stupid re-spawn locations!"


"um...let's go guys! Yeah!" Fluttershy quietly celebrated, but looking around, she saw she was on top of a hill. "Guys?" She whimpered. "Guys? Where are you?"


"Well, I'll go Independent for a while." Twilight muttered, walking up to a tree. "What do I even do here?" She punched at a tree, leaving a crack in the block-y stump. "Uh?" She punched it again, make the crack larger. 'Any 'block' can be destroyed and placed back.' "Oh yeah." She punched the block again and the tree split, hanging in middle air; as a miniature wood block flew off a few meters away.

She trotted over to the block and it pulled itself to her, as it hit her to disappeared for a second that appeared in her hoof. "ARGH!" She shook her hoof wildly at the shock of the wood appearing but it was stuck to her hoof. "Oh, okay let's try this." She swiped at the ground and the wood piece vanished and the one she destroyed has placed down. "Okay, let's try a house."

After a few minutes, she had a small house with no door, with no bed, with no furniture but it was a house.

"He did say you could craft tools." She mumbled. "Let's try this. 'HUD'!" The heads up display appeared with all it's little boxes with one having a wood piece stuck with the number four. "Okay; how do I craft?" The heads up display vanished then came back with a bunch of boxes filled with items then red, the only one that didn't have was a box with tools on it. "What's that?" as she said it, a cross appeared over it and a text box popped up, reading 'crafting table'. "Okay, can I craft a crafting table?" The crafting heads up display went away and the one before came back except the wood pieces were gone and in their place was a crafting table. "Crafting table please." It vanished and appeared in her hoof.

She swiped at a small place on the floor of her house and the it appeared. "Good day for a bit of work."


"Time to find the girls!" Rainbow charged through the air, picking up a cone in front of her; shooting over rock hills and forests. She saw a purple blur as she rocketed past. "TWILIGHT?!" She shouted, turning her head. As she did, she smashed into a rocky hill, crashing through it, cutting a long line through it. "Ow." Her head span as she lay her back on the stone, seeing the light sneak in through the hole. Beep! Beep!

"Uh?"

"Beep, beep!"

"What the hell is making that sound?"

"Beep, beep!"

"What the..." she trailed off as she saw five hearts, one was filled with red, the others see through.

"Beep, beep!"

"What do you need? Food or something?"

"Beep, beep!" Though it wasn't much of an answer, she took it anyway.

She crept out of the hole, though it was a simulationship, the hole was musty and her head still span from the crash. Did they add some sort of reality thingy or whatever? She thought it herself. As she crept out of the hole, she saw a tree. Please, please have apples.

She walked up to it, seeing a few apples. "Okay, I've always wanted to try this." She muttered, she span around the tree until a rainbow trail started to form. After a while, she stopped, the leaves on the tree had gone and she had a hoof-full of apples, she sat down and munched a few. I don't care if this isn't real, this tastes good!


"This is not good." Rarity squeaked. "This is not good at all." She whimpered as she tried to find her way out of the cave.

"Stupid rocks, stupid cobble, stupid simulation." She trotted on, going to anything that looked like light. "Stupid rocks, stupid cobble." She repeated. "Stupid rocks, stupid-...d-d-d-diamonds?!" The blue rocks sparkled in the mix of dark and light. "DIAMONDS!" She ran at them. "Diamonds! Diamonds! Diamonds!" Charging headfirst, she smashed into them and sprawled into a pile when she hit the block.

Getting up, she straightened her back, making it have a savory click. She dusted off her hooves, taking an eye at them, seeing if she hadn't broke them; after a quick run down and no scratches seen. She punched the rock. "DIAMONDS!"


"This-s-s-s isn't-t-t fair!" Applejack shuddered, feeling the cold. Damn stupid science guys, damn stupid snow, damn stupid cold, damn stupid simulation.

She crunched through the snow, seeing no end through the fog.


"Come on, Axe-y!" Pinkie giggled as she held up a wooden axe. "No way! What's that?!" She said, staring with widened eyes, as in a cave; a skeleton hid in the dark.

"Hi there, Mr Bones!" She chortled, waving her axe at him.

In reply, the skeleton grunted and shot an arrow at her; missing her by inches and digging itself into the ground.

"Bad Mister Bones!" She shouted at it, waving her axe again but more threatening.

It grunted again, shooting again, this time hitting her in the chest. Pinkie sparked red for a second, losing three hearts.

"Mister Bones, stop this!" She grunted in the same tone the skeleton did.

It fired another arrow, sailing over the pony's head.

"That's it Mister!" She grumbled, charging at the skeleton. It shot, she dodged. It shot again, she dodged. Two more meters, then pow! She swiped with the axe and the skeleton jumped back. It grunted in pain. She swiped again, it jumped back a second time and grunted again. She struck it for a final time, it fell, flushed in red. It burst into smoke, dropping two bones and an arrow.

"Oh, bones!" She picked up the bones. "You are so romantic, Mister Bones!" She giggled.

"A wolf!" She bounded over to the grey animal, that hid under a tree. "Here, wolf-y!" She gave the wolf a bone, the wolf bent it's head down and gulped it in one go. "Hungry, fella?" She throw her last one, the wolf munched it and a red collar appeared around it's neck. "You're tamed! That's awesome!" She said as the wolf panted. "I'm going to name you 'Silver'!" The wolf whimpered slightly.


"Guys?" Fluttershy hid behind her hooves. "Guys?" She whimpered. "Where are you?"
