Players, prepare for the first round! a voice boomed over a set of speakers.

Twilight glanced around the area, bright lights illuminating the area around her. She had just woken and her vision was blurry. She could make out several blobs surrounding her. A few stood up and moved around. Twilight blinked a few times in attempt to clear her vision. She even went so far as to rub the sleepiness out of her eyes. After a moment Twilight could make out Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. Beyond them Applejack, Pinkie and Rainbow dash were also waling up.

"What the?" Twilight turned around and found Rarity and Fluttershy were also dazed and confused. "Rarity? Fluttershy, are you two alright?" Twilight inquired. Neither responded. "Rarit-" Twilight fell back on her haunches as he muzzle hit something hard, which was strange considering there was nothing in front of her.

Twilight rubbed her muzzle and looked in front of her. Yes, there's definitely nothing in front of her. She moved one of her hooves in front of her. It was stopped by an invisible barrier of some sort. The barrier rippled when her hoof touched it, causing it to ripple and reflect the light coming from above. Curious, Twilight looked to the other side but a line of solar and lunar guards blocked her sight. Twilight jumped in place several times to make sure that what she was seeing was indeed correct.

On the opposite side Twilight could see Queen Chryisalis, King Sombera, a line of changeling drones in the front and to the left and right were the corrupt versions of each of the main six from when Discord had attempted to take over.

The game will begin in five.... four.... three.... two....one....

A loud buzzer rang out once the count down had ended.

Player one... begin

A flash of green on the opposite side shot into the air and Twilight could barely see a changeling drone charge forward before slamming into a barrier, the wall shimmering and rippling. At the same time the area let up green and a wall of green energy appeared behind the drone before fading to clear color. The drone buzzed around angrily inside the confinement of the invisible room.

Player two... begin

Almost as soon as the voice was done speaking the box in front of Celestia flashed white and the Solar guard in front hesitantly stepped forward before another flash closed him in. Twilight examined this a few times, watching as each pony or changeling would move in a grid like fashion. She came to the conclusion that they were on a giant, enchanted chess board. It made sense too.

First off, there were a line of four solar guard and four lunar guard in the front. The 'pawns' essentially. Then there was them: Twilight, Rarity, RD, AJ, Fluttershy and Pinkie. They were supposed to be the Rooks, Knights and Bishops. Rarity and Twilight were in the Bishop squares. Twilight guessed this was because they could teleport from space to space. RD and Fluttershy in the Knight squares, and AJ and Pinkie in the Rook areas. Lastly, Celestia represented the king, and Luna the queen.

Player two... begin

Twilight came back, the voice reminding her she was in a chess game. How many turns had passed? The question bothered her, among other ones. She quickly glanced around and found almost everyone had been moved, aside from her, Luna and Celestia. She even noticed a few guard missing as well as changelings.

A flash of white brought Twilight's attention and she watched as a guard stepped forward, spear in hoof, and he approached a changeling in the next diagonal square. He jabbed the spear through the changeling's mid-section. The changeling let out retched, blood curdling screech as it dissolved from the air, allowing the guard to take its place. The square flashed white signal the end of the turn.

The voice announced for "player one" to start their turn and Twilight watched as the corrupt version of Rarity teleported from her starting position to where the solar guard was and appeared in front of him. The guard raised his spear and jabbed it at the corrupt Rarity. She side stepped before the spear struck her and then turned around sending a powerful kick into the guards' chest creating a large dint in the chest armor and sending him to the ground with a large 'thud'. The guard then dissolved away leaving the space for Rarity to take.

Twilight noticed that she had a direct shot at the corrupt Rarity and once more the voice rang out calling for player two to start. Her square flashed white and the whole area went black aside from the square that Rarity was in. Twilight looked around. She couldn't see anyone, just black. Realizing she had no where else to go she teleported to the square. Just as she arrived Rarity was already charging her and Twilight reacted quickly. A purple wall materialized causing Rarity to slam into it.

Rarity stumbled backwards dazed by what had just happened. She ran at Twilight once more, making it look like she was blindly going at the shield again before weaving around it and using her hind legs to throw herself at Twilight. Twilight unexpectedly turned on her, the shield dropping, and instinctively shot a beam of pure energy at Rarity. The beam hit Rarity as she continued to fly forward before hitting the ground in front of Twilight, unconscious. Twilight stared at Rarity's limp body and leaned down to see if she was okay but her body dissolved like the others had. The room returned to normal and Twilight could see everyone again then her square flashed white.

Meanwhile in the real world...

"Your move, Moony."

Nightmare Moon glared at Discord. He had perfectly executed her bishop with a swift attack with his bishop. She had to give him credit however, using Twilight and her friends as chess pieces was a marvelous idea! And even snagging the princesses as well. He had even went as far as to steal the changeling queen, some of her drones and got Sombera to agree to this.

It was entertaining, watching the shrunken ponies in their enchanted chess board to combat one another. Too bad none of them were actually hurt. Still it was fun to watch even though who ever attacked would always win, no matter what. Just watching to see what they would do to counter one's attack.

"Hurry Moony, you're already three seconds on the clock."

Curse these speed run chess games... Nightmare thought to herself as she chose her castle: corrupt Pinkie Pie to move forward three spaces where regular Rainbow Dash was at. Pinkie slid under Rainbow just as she smacked a pie into the others muzzles. Rainbow then faded before appearing off the board in a containment tray where they lay unconscious until the match was over. Nightmare then pressed the red button on the clock which started Discord's own clock.

"Your turn." she stated with a grin.

Author's Note

Hmm, yes... I think this will do for random. Pretty much used anything I could think of for this one that would make sense in an enchanted chess game. Actually, I really didn't do too much with this one, just something quick.
