Chapters Achievement Hunter in Equestria: JT Hailstorm Edition
Waking up with a pounding headache Jack sits up. He wonders what happened, he and the others in the office were playing this new game and that’s about it. As he looked around he knew he wasn’t in the office anymore, as a matter of fact he knew he wasn’t in Texas. Everything was so colorful and pretty almost like the kiddie section of an arcade. However he is in a library cause there are books, a lot of books. Looking around in wonderment he fails to notice the purple baby dragon looking at him.
“What did you do with Twilight?” Spike asked. Jack focuses on the purple baby dragon in front of him with his arms crossed. Nothing is making any sense anymore.
“Did you just talk?” Jack asked.
“Yeah and you didn’t answer my question.” Spike said.
“I have no idea who Twilight is.” Jack said.
“Great…now what am I going to do?” Spike said. He looks at the ground in discouragement. Jack continues to look around in amazement.
“Where am I?” Jack asked. At that moment the door opens and Applejack comes in with a hogtied Ray and Gavin. They appeared very cartoony so he looked at himself and he too was cartoonish.
“Twi, we have a pro- who the hay are ya?” Applejack asked.
“Well I’m…” Jack began to say. Then Rainbow Dash flies in with a very scared Kerry.
“I found another…hey you aren’t Twilight.” Rainbow Dash said.
“Purple dragon, where am I?” Jack asked.
“You’re in Equestria.” Spike said.
“Answer meh.” Applejack demanded. She got up close to him in an aggressive stance. So did Rainbow Dash who dropped Kerry on his head.
“My name is Jack Pattillo.” Jack said.
“What did ya do with Twi?” Applejack asked.
“I don’t know…” Jack said. He covered his head in fear. Suddenly he teleported to a different spot in the room that was away from the angry ponies, and he looked over to the confused ponies. “What the fuck?”
“Eh what jus’ happened?” Applejack asked. Rainbow Dash dashed over to Jack to keep the pressure on him.
“How did you do that?” Rainbow Dash asked.
“I don’t know.” Jack said. Once again another entered the room but this time it was Princess Luna, with Geoff, Michael, and Lindsay restrained by her magic.
“Princess Twil- you aren’t my sister’s prized student. Purple dragon, I request the Purple one.” Princess Luna said.
“I uh…well…I don’t know where she is.” Spike said.
“It seems you and I have the same problem. When night drew to an end I waited for my sister to raise the sun but alas she was nowhere to be found. Only this scruffy one, who rested in my sister’s place.” Princess Luna said. She held up Geoff who looked very displeased. “I went to check on the Crystal Empire and I found these two instead of Prince Shining Armor and Princess Cadence. Then I come here and find more of these things.”
“We prefer to be called humans.” Jack said. Everypony and everybody looked at Jack who was still intimidated by Rainbow Dash. Ray managed to get the rope out of his mouth.
“Rub her belly.” Ray shouted.
“How’d ya get that off?” Applejack asked. Jack grabbed Rainbow Dash and rubbed her belly. As he did she became less aggressive and laughed a little bit.
“Haha stop that.” Rainbow Dash laughed.
“You aren’t that scary now.” Jack said.
“Humans?” Princess Luna asked.
“Yeah.” Jack said. While distracted he stopped rubbing Rainbow Dash’s belly. She got away and flew over to Applejack. Jack stood up and the ponies looked on in amazement.
“I have heard of your kind.” Princess Luna said.
“I know who all of you are…” Ray said.
“You do?” Princess Luna asked.
“Yeah, you’re Princess Luna…the one who hogtied me is Applejack, the one who dropped Kerry is Rainbow Dash. As for the other two, I wasn’t paying attention.” Ray said. He smiled at Applejack.
“If we are here, then where are these other…ponies?” Jack asked.
“We have to figure that out.” Princess Luna said.
“Uh Princess Luna, Jack here teleported earlier. How do you explain that?” Spike asked. Kerry woke up and rubbed his head.
“What happened?” Kerry asked. He looked around and saw the ponies. “Ah! Don’t hurt me.” Kerry covered his head and cowered in fear.
“Human can you do magic where you are from?” Princess Luna asked.
“No.” Jack answered.
“Interesting.” Princess Luna said. She let the three down and they stood there in utter confusion. “You scruffy one. Get a book from where you are at.” Geoff looked around at all of the books.
“Uh…” Geoff said. He picked up a book by holding his hand out, almost as if he was using the force. The book floated in the air and he smiled. “Holy shit this is awesome.”
“You two do the same.” Princess Luna said. Michael and Lindsay did the same as Geoff. Both were excited that they could do the same. Princess Luna looked at Jack. “Now you.” Jack did the same and the ponies and Spike looked on in amazement.
“Wow that is awesome.” Rainbow Dash said.
“I wonder if I could do that.” Kerry said. He lifted his arm out and tried it but nothing. Once again he tried but then he gave up.
“Hey Kerry, catch this.” Michael said. He threw the book he was holding at Kerry. The book hit Kerry in the face. All of the Achievement Hunters laughed at Kerry’s misfortune, even Gavin laughed a muffled laugh.
“You humans are strange.” Princess Luna said.
“Where’s Ryan?” Jack asked.
“Yeah where is Ryan?” Geoff asked.
“There is another?” Princess Luna asked.
“I wonder if he has the same powers.” Jack asked.
“Let’s hope not, he’s a crazy motherfucker.” Geoff said.
“Scruffy one, come with me.” Princess Luna said. The two of them walked outside, naturally the other followed except for Ray and Gavin who were still tied up. “Use your powers to move the sun.”
“Is that even possible?” Geoff asked.
“Yes.” Princess Luna said.
“Do I have to?” Geoff asked.
“Yes.” Princess Luna said. Geoff raised his hand to the sun and moved it. “Hmm…this must mean you humans have replaced certain ponies. We just have to figure out which ones.” Jack looked very confused.
“So does this mean I’m that Twilight, everyone seems to be looking for?” Jack asked.
“I’m afraid so.” Princess Luna said. Everypony walked back inside and the Achievement Hunters did as well.
“Princess what d’ya want us to do?” Applejack asked.
“I have to do some research before we try to do anything. The scruffy one and I will rule over Canterlot together while we are researching. Those two however, cannot rule over the Crystal Empire so they will have to stay here. You two and the rest of your friends will have to watch over these humans. Ensure they don’t get into any trouble.”
“I’d prefer to be called Geoff.” Geoff said. Princess Luna pulled Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Spike to another part of the room to discuss other things.
“King Geoff?” Lindsay asked.
“Well technically he’d be prince. Since he somewhat replaced Celestia, we could call him Princess Geoff.” Ray laughed.
“Do you want me to destroy him now, Geoff?” Michael asked.
“Later. I have a country to rule.” Geoff said.
“That’s all we need.” Jack said.
“Silence Jack. I am now King Geoff.” Geoff said.
“Well Prince, my liege.” Michael said.
“No, I am King.” Geoff said.
“Michael, he is Celestia so he’d be like you know.” Ray said.
“Oh yeah.” Michael said.
“Mike would be so jealous.” Lindsay said.
“Good thing he isn’t here, he’s a freak.” Michael said.
“That reminds me…” Ray said.
“Doesn’t he get a boner when Fluttershy is mentioned or something like that?” Kerry asked.
“Yup.” Michael said.
“I wonder who I am.” Lindsay said.
“Bigger question, why don’t I have super powers?” Kerry asked.
“Kerry my boy, you are probably like a non-magical earth pony.” Michael said.
“I wonder how we got here.” Jack asked.
“We were just playing a game sent to us by one of those companies.” Geoff said.
“Yeah, and when we started the multiplayer game the power went out and then we blacked out.” Michael said.
“I thought it was strange we got a copy of a game from that company. They never sent us stuff like that before.” Ray said.
“Did you read who it was from?” Geoff asked.
“Yeah, it said Rockstar Games.” Ray said.
“How was it spelled?” Geoff asked.
“R-O-C-S-T-A-R G-A-E-M-Z.” Ray said.
“You idiot, that’s not Rockstar Games. I don’t know what that is.” Geoff said. Michael started laughing out loud.
“You dumbass.” Michael laughed.
“That’s not how you spell it?” Ray asked. Gavin finally got the rope out of his mouth. “Well Gavin’s the one who said it was the right thing.”
“Me?” Gavin protested.
“Yeah you. You accepted the package from Kara.” Ray said.
“Yeah but…you should’ve known.” Gavin said.
“I thought you were joking. I thought you were misspelling it as a joke.” Ray said.
“No, I don’t joke about things like that.” Gavin said.
“Well now we’re here. Princess Geoff here is ruler.” Jack said.
“Actually you’d be a princess too.” Ray said. “Not that I would know cause I stopped caring…” He looked away so as to throw them off. The ponies returned and Princess Luna used her magic to pick Geoff up.
“I must be off. Let’s go Geoff.” Princess Luna said.
“Wait, what about the rest of us.” Jack asked.
“Those two will tell you.” Princess Luna said. Princess Luna and Geoff disappeared. Spike was nowhere to be found but Applejack and Rainbow Dash were still there.
“Where’s that purple dragon?” Jack asked.
“His name is Spike.” Michael said.
“Okay where’s Spike?” Jack asked.
“He’s getting a book.” Rainbow Dash said.
“So…we are stuck here?” Lindsay said.
“Hey can we be untied?” Ray asked.
“Oh yeah…sorry ‘bout that.” Applejack said. She untied Gavin and Ray. When they were free they stood up and Ray had wings.
“Hey look I got wings. Guess who’s fly now?” Ray said.
“Oi look, I got lil baby wings.” Gavin said.
“Great, Scootaloo got replaced.” Rainbow Dash said.
“Ah wonder who else got replaced.” Applejack said. Spike returned with a book and handed it to Jack.
“Princess Luna wants you to study this.” Spike said. At that time Spike belched up a scroll. “They’re okay.” He picked up the scroll and opened it. “Spike, I and several other ponies including Princess Celestia, Princess Cadence, and my brother. Are all trapped in this weird world. We are okay and are trying to figure out how to get back to Equestria. Signed Twilight Sparkle.”
“You need to send her a letter explaining there are humans that replaced them.” Rainbow Dash said.
“Excuse me, I don’t mean to be rude but I can’t read this stuff.” Jack said.
“Great…more stuff we need to do.” Rainbow Dash said.
“What are you complaining about? I have to be his assistant.” Spike said.
“Oh yeah.” Rainbow Dash said.
“Well let’s git on writin’ that letter.” Applejack said. They began writing a letter explaining the switch that has occurred. After several rewrites and one paper cut Spike sent the letter.
“Ah-ha! I have my emergency 3DS.” Ray cheered. He pulled out his 3DS out of his pocket. Shortly after saying that he immersed himself in playing a game.
“What will you do when the power runs out?” Jack asked.
“Oh shit I didn’t think of that.” Ray said. He looked at the game and turned it off. Spike then belched up another letter.
“Dear Spike, at this time we encourage that you call a meeting with the others. I will send you instructions soon. At the meantime keep our guests happy. Signed Twilight Sparkle.” Spike read.
“Keep them happy?” Rainbow Dash asked.
“Well Ah’ll go git the others and bring ‘em here.” Applejack said. She left as fast as she could. Rainbow Dash and Spike shook their heads.
“She read my mind. I guess I have to stay.” Rainbow Dash said.
“I’ll get on baking some cookies.” Spike said.
“I wonder where Ryan is.” Jack said.
Meanwhile in a remote and nearly unreachable place in Equestria, stood one man staring out at the landscape. Already engulfed in his own madness he smirks. The only creature to stand next to him is a cow.
“Moo.” The cow said.
“That’s right Edgar…we’re going to take over. This vastly colorful world sickens me. You shall be my right hand and we shall color it in a better color…what’s the word I’m looking for?” Ryan asked. The cow looked at him.
“Moo.” Edgar said.
“You have a way with words. Gather more, and when we are ready we’ll start our march.” Ryan said. Then a thought came to him, something told him he’s missing something. “Before you leave Edgar, fetch me a chicken and possibly a sheep. We need some diversity.”
“Moo.” Edgar said.
“They won’t cause us any trouble. They’re too stupid to do anything. Now go, do as I say.” Ryan said. Edgar walked away and Ryan got caught up in his evil plots. “Hmm…they won’t see me coming.”
Back to Jack and the others minus Princess Geoff. Michael finds his 3DS in his pocket so he and Ray start playing a game. Kerry and Lindsay spectate the two as they played their game. Jack talked to Rainbow Dash and tried to explain what all of them did.
“So you guys got paid to play games?” Rainbow Dash asked.
“Yeah though we have to record us playing them, cut, edit, and upload to the Internet.” Jack explained.
“Now explain the internet.” Rainbow Dash said.
“I would if I could, well I guess I could give you a sorta example.” Jack said. He pulled out his phone and looked at it. Something interesting caught his eye. “Hey, I’m getting Wifi here. So I could give you a better example.”
“What we get Wifi here?” Ray asked. He looked up for a moment.
“I’m gonna beat you Ray.” Michael said.
“Anyways, this is the internet.” Jack said. Gavin leaned in with Rainbow Dash as Jack brought up a few websites.
“Hey Jack…I’m watching you do stuff.” Gavin said.
“Hey Gavin, you can’t fly.” Jack said.
“Shut up.” Gavin said.
“Nobody told you to jump off that thing.” Jack said.
“You were lucky I was there.’ Rainbow Dash said. Gavin looked dissatisfied.
“What are you anyways? Are you part bird?” Gavin asked.
“Gavin, she’s a pegasus.” Jack said.
“Oh…” Gavin said. He looked at Jack with utter confusion on his face.
“Don’t even try explaining it. He’s too stupid to understand.” Michael said. He didn’t even bother looking up from the game. “Fuck you Ray.” Apparently Michael lost so he turned his 3DS off and put it back in his pocket.
“Still the champ.” Ray said.
“More like…what’s that word you Americans use?” Gavin asked. He went over to the others and tried to look cool.
“Anyways, that’s the internet. I could show you a little bit of what I we do.” Jack said. He started showing Rainbow Dash what they do as a company. A little while later Spike showed up with a tray of freshly baked cookies. “If I could ask you one thing. Do you guys have alcohol in this world?”
“Jack they do…or at least that’s what the fandom says.” Michael said.
“Fandom?” Rainbow Dash asked. She looked to Jack for some answers.
“I’m sorry, I don’t have an answer for you. Plus those cookies are calling my name.” Jack said. He went over to get a cookie. Rainbow Dash intrigued about fans she flew over to Michael. Kerry ran over to get a cookie but mostly to avoid Rainbow Dash.
“Explain this fandom thing.” Rainbow Dash said.
“Well in our world you guys are just a cartoon on TV. The target audience for that show is supposed to be for little girls but there is an older audience that call themselves bronies and pegasisters. They do all kinds of things and there are those who have crazy fantasies about you. Overall they just fight about facts and enjoy the show.” Michael explained.
“Where’d AJ go?” Ray asked.
“Shut up Ray.” Michael said.
“She should be back soon.” Rainbow Dash said. She gave Ray a very awkward look.
“He isn’t one of those crazy ones. He’s rather normal.” Michael said.
“Okay…I’m going to keep an eye on him anyways.” Rainbow Dash said.
“That’s a good plan.” Lindsay said.
“Well it’s cookie time!” Ray said. Everyone went to go get cookies while Rainbow Dash hovered close by. It wasn’t long before the others showed up. Spike read them Twilight’s instructions while the Achievement Hunters played poker using cookies and what money they had as chips, Ray just used I.O.U. slips. The ponies and Spike had a discussion about the Achievement Hunters.
“The one with the wings can stay with me.” Rainbow Dash said.
“Why?” Spike asked.
“Just trust me.” Rainbow Dash said.
“Okay…how do you know he can walk on clouds?” Spike asked.
“He could stay with me.” Fluttershy said.
“That’s a bad idea.” Michael said.
“Yeah.” Ray said. Both didn’t look up from their cards.
“Twi suggested the one named Jack to stay here.” Spike said.
“Why don’t you just draw names from a hat?” Jack suggested. He showed his hand, which was a royal flush. The others sighed as they threw their cards down. Ray sorta cried cause he was out of I.O.U. slips. “I’m feelin’ generous, you can have your slips back.”
“That’s a good idea.” Spike said. He asked the other Achievement Hunters for their names. They used Applejack’s hat to draw names out of.
“Oh boy I got Kerry!” Pinkie Pie cheered. She walked over to the AH crew. “Which one is Kerry?”
“That’s me.” Kerry said.
“Hey you’re first at something.” Michael said.
“Yay me.” Kerry cheered. Pinkie hugged Kerry. Rainbow Dash looked defeated at the piece of paper.
“Gavin, you are with me.” Rainbow Dash sighed. Within an hour of knowing this lovable Brit, she absolutely can’t stand him.
“Well you got one with wings.” Spike sneered.
“Shut up Spike.” Rainbow Dash said. She flew over to Jack and leaned close to him. “How do you guys normally deal with him?”
“Just put him in his place.” Jack said.
“Aw…come on.” Gavin said.
“Shut up.” Rainbow Dash said. That feeling of telling him to shut up made her feel better cause he actually listened to her.
“Ray, yer with me.” Applejack said.
“Awesome.” Ray said.
“You are the last male here so you must be Michael.” Rarity said.
“Yup.” Michael said.
“So Lindsay, you are going to stay with me…if you want.” Fluttershy said.
“Of course.” Lindsay said.
“That’s all Twilight had on her list of orders for all of you except for Jack.” Spike said.
“Really? That’s it?” Rainbow Dash said.
“She said to treat them as honored guests and she also left a special note for you Rainbow. Don’t kill any of them.” Spike said.
“Fine.” Rainbow Dash said.
“If all of you would be kind enough to leave, I have to help Jack study.” Spike said. Everybody left and Spike started getting some books down. “Twilight said that since you can’t read our language I have to read the books to you.”
“Sounds good to me.” Jack said.
“Remember we’re trying to figure out how to get you and your friends back to your world as well as get our friends back.” Spike said.
“Let’s get started then.” Jack said. Spike started reading various books to Jack. Trying to stay awake while Spike read Jack looked at his phone. He opened up Twitter and he saw a tweet from Ray with a pic of him and AJ.

Achievement Hunter in Equestria: JT Hailstorm Edition
Princess Geoff and the Chamber of Booze
Geoff sat in a meeting room with Princess Luna as she explained the situation to the top royal advisors. He was bored as can be, nothing to read, no paper to draw dicks, and certainly no video games. Trying to distract himself he uses his newfound magic to manipulate things. Some of the ponies in the room watched him closely as they’ve never seen anything like him.
“Geoff, would you like to describe what happened before you and your friends got here?” Princess Luna asked.
“Uh…sure. We were in our new office back at our world and we were about play this game for some possible material. The power went off and all of us woke up in weird places. I woke up in this castle. Come to find out we don’t know where this game came from. So now we are here and I can do this.” Geoff said. He moved some stuff and had fun doing so.
“We have managed to find 7 humans but they claim there might be another one.” Princess Luna said. She went into more detail and Geoff kept playing with some random papers. Somehow he managed to find a quill, ink, and a blank sheet of paper. He started drawing random pictures all over the paper.
“What makes Master Geoff qualified to rule a kingdom?” One of the advisors said. Geoff looked up and stopped doing what he was doing.
“How hard could it be? I managed a lot of people over at a tech company, and I get to keep these fuckers inline. I’m pretty sure I could handle it.” Geoff said. He thought to himself that it would be just as much fun as playing King Geoff. Then again he is the ruler of Achievement City and of the Achievement Hunter Office.
“Such eagerness, I think you’ll do great.” Princess Luna said.
“Princess Luna we need to mask the humans so the ponies of this land don’t become alarmed.” One of the Advisors said.
“I know what I must do.” Princess Luna said. Her horn glowed and her magic engulfed Geoff. A second later a transformation took place that made absolutely no sense at all. After the spell was cast Geoff looked at himself but he was still the same. He looked up at the advisors who stared at him in awe. “Will that work?”
“By Celestia, it will.” One of the Advisors said.
“What happened?” Geoff asked.
“This will help you see.” Princess Luna said. Princess Luna used her magic to bring forth a mirror. As Geoff gazed in the mirror he stared in awe.
“I’m like you except I’m white and my mane is different. Sweet.” Geoff said.
“He even sounds like her. Princess Luna you have outdone yourself.” One of the Advisors said.
“Geoff, you now look like my sister as well as sound like her. I can see you how you are because I know you more than the others. If we were to do this for the others that would prevent a commotion.” Princess Luna said.
“That sounds great.” Geoff said.
“Well then, I must be off to change the others into the ponies they replaced. Advisors see to it that Geoff here completes all of the duties my sister would normally do.” Princess Luna said.
“Wait, you’re leaving me to rule on my own?” Geoff asked.
“Yes, this transformation spell is crucial. You are in good hooves and I have faith that you’ll do good.” Princess Luna said. She left and Geoff was left to do his new duties as a Princess. One of which is settling disputes.
“If I may Master Geoff. The ponies will address you as Princess Celestia, it is crucial for you to speak when asked.” One of the Advisors said.
“Okay.” Geoff said. After an hour of settling disputes it was time to sit through meetings. One meeting after another, he was right about it being just like being a manager, only this time it’s on a grander scale. He signed off on several projects that seemed cool and useful. They broke the meeting for lunch.
“Master Geoff, is there anything you’d like for me to get you?” One of the Advisors asked.
“Some whiskey or something like that.” Geoff said.
“Master Geoff, you are the ruler of Equestria and you are representing our Princess.” One of the Advisors said.
“What no drinking?” Geoff said.
“Alcohol is bad for your health and it impairs judgment. It is certainly not something a ruler needs. Is there anything else I can get you?” The Advisor said. He thought to himself that this couldn’t be possible. Anyone with this much responsibility must have some sort of outlet. There must be something.
“Can I just wander the castle for awhile…by myself?” Geoff asked.
“If you insist. We will get you once the break is over.” The Advisor said.
“That will work.” Geoff said. Once the Advisors left he walked down the hallways looking for some kind of drink. Then he walked into a room. “If I wanted to keep a stash, where would it be?” He never really had to stash booze before but he had to think really hard. Then the idea came to him, he used his magic to push a secret button behind a vase in a bathroom. Then a secret staircase was revealed.
He walked down the stairs and there was a door with some weird writing on it. It must be a secret phrase or something like that so he stood there an analyzed it. After a minute he gave up.
“All I wanted was a drink.” Geoff said in defeat. The door opened and there it was, the chamber of booze. Much like a child’s reaction when they are taken to Disneyland, his face lit up as he walked in and looked at all of the bottles that lined the walls. There were liquors from all ages and all places. Shelves were labeled for certain occasions: Long Hard days, Meeting Days, Royal Ceremonies, Discord problems, Those days that the fate of Equestria is in Twilight’s hooves, Fridays, and Mondays.
Geoff shrugged then pulled a bottle down, and he found a glass then retrieved it. As he poured it he noticed that the smell was a tad strong but he ignored it. Then he took a drink and he made that face that one would make when they take their first shot of whiskey.
“Wow that is some strong shit.” Geoff exclaimed.
“Princess are you in there?” One of the Advisors called out.
“Yeah, I’ll be out in a few.” Geoff said. He started to run back up the stairs but turned around and got the bottle. It was a fairly small bottle, small enough to fit in his pocket so he hid it in his pocket. There was a knocking at the door so he ran up the stairs and sealed the chamber. Once the chamber was closed he walked out of the bathroom.
“There you are. We must hurry because we have a meeting with some foreign dignitaries.” The Advisor said.
“I can’t wait.” Geoff said. As they walked back to the meeting room he took a quick swig from the bottle. “Ugh, I hope the others are having more fun.”
Achievement Hunter in Equestria: JT Hailstorm Edition
Adjusting To The Simple Life
Sitting under a tree, Ray watches the clouds pass by. It’s been awhile since he was outside and it’s kinda scary. However it shouldn’t be that scary here right? As he sat there he was tempted to play his 3DS but as Jack stated, how would he charge it? Nothing left to do but sit there and daydream.
When he showed up at the farm with Applejack he was met with a lot of scrutiny. A creature they have not seen before and one they have to house until a mystery is solved. After the initial shock they welcomed Ray.
As he continued to stare into the sky he so happened to look down and running in his direction was the lovable little filly named Apple Bloom. When she got closer she slowed down then stopped in front of him.
“Hey.” Apple Bloom said.
“Hey.” Ray said.
“So yer name is Ray, huh?” Apple Bloom asked.
“Yup.” Ray said.
“Why do y’all have wings?” Apple Bloom asked.
“I dunno.” Ray said.
“What’re ya lookin’ at?” Apple Bloom asked.
“I was looking at the sky and wondering what I’m going to do.” Ray said.
“There’s lotsa stuff ya could do.” Apple Bloom said.
“Nothing that interests me.” Ray said.
“Hmm…that’s not good.” Apple Bloom said.
“You’re telling me. I was playing video games for a living.” Ray said.
“Well maybe ya could help me git mah cutie mark.” Apple Bloom suggested.
“How?” Ray asked.
“Yer taller than anypony here an’ y’all could git me ta places Ah can’t git to.” Apple Bloom said.
“I dunno.” Ray said.
“Pretty please.” Apple Bloom begged. She gave him the puppy eye look. Ray tried to resist but the cuteness got to him.
“Okay.” Ray said. Apple Bloom cheered as Ray got up. “So what do you have in mind?”
“Well I’ve always wanted ta try this one thing. Yer gonna help me with a super secret thing. Follow me to the clubhouse.” Apple Bloom said. Not knowing what he had gotten himself into Ray followed Apple Bloom to the clubhouse.
“So is this really a cutie mark attempt or something like that?” Ray asked.
“Not really.” Apple Bloom answered. She lied to him using her cuteness. When they got to the clubhouse they entered, Ray sat on the floor and Apple Bloom pulled out all of these papers. “Ah need yer help with this here thing.”
“Okay?” Ray answered.
“Before Scootaloo disappeared, we were workin’ on this project. We thought we could git our cutie marks in video game production. Apparently somethin’ was wrong with the coding and the spell that we had Twilight cast on it ta make sure nopony could steal our idea. Once the spell was cast the game disappeared.” Apple Bloom explained. She placed the papers in front of Ray. “Ah think that ‘cause of the magic that was cast, it created a portal from your world ta ours. Now how we did that, Ah dunno. That’s why Ah need yer help, maybe we could fix this and nopony would ever have ta know this ever happened.
“You do realize that Scootaloo is with Twilight and Princess Celestia right?” Ray asked.
“Yes Ah know. Ah jus’ don’t want anypony here ta find out an’ git mad at us fer causin’ all this trouble.” Apple Bloom said.
“Okay.” Ray said.
“Yer not gonna lecture me?” Apple Bloom asked.
“Nope, I’m just going to help you.” Ray said.
“That easily.” Apple Bloom said in disbelief.
“Yes.” Ray said.
“Jus’ so ya know we’re gonna have to keep this whole thing brief so mah family doesn’t get suspicious of all of this, so Ah’m gonna trust you with this stuff.” Apple Bloom said. Ray looked it over and understood all of the stuff on the pages, which lead him to believe Jack was just being lazy.
“So…” Ray said.
“Right now Ah need y’all to help me git into a place so I can try to do somethin’ extreme. Sweetie will be meetin’ us there.” Apple Bloom said.
“Does she know about me helping you? Wait…so I really am helping you in your search for a cutie mark?” Ray asked.
“Yeah. Brilliant idea huh?” Apple Bloom asked. It was better than any idea that Gavin has ever had so it’s good.
“Yeah. Let’s go.” Ray said. What more could he do? It’s better than sitting under that tree and looking into the sky. They made their way to the base of a cliff and Sweetie Belle was waiting there.
“Yay you got him to agree.” Sweetie Belle cheered.
“How did you know about us?” Ray asked.
“Scootaloo went missing, our sisters got called to a meeting of some sort, and our game goes missing. What else do you need?” Sweetie Belle asked.
“Was this all intentional?” Ray asked.
“No, we just didn’t expect for the game to create a portal.” Sweetie Belle said.
“An’ teleport away from us.” Apple Bloom added.
“We had no idea it would cause you and your friends to switch places with our friends.” Sweetie Belle said.
“Okay I get it, this was all a mistake. So what do I have to do for this stunt?” Ray asked. The two fillies looked up the cliff face.
“Well we’re not coordinated enough to set the hookup things so we could climb.” Sweetie Belle said.
“Do ponies even rock climb?” Ray asked.
“Come ta think of it, Ah haven’t heard of it.” Apple Bloom said.
“Must’ve been Scootaloo’s idea. Since we’re here, might as well try it.” Sweetie Belle said. The fillies looked at Ray who just stared at the cliff face. “Well what are you waiting for?” Ray hasn’t done anything this extreme but he guessed he has already agreed to help the two. As he got closer he looked up to the top, which wasn’t so high but still it was too high to jump down from.
“So do you have anything for me?” Ray asked.
“Shoot, Ah didn’t think about that.” Apple Bloom said.
“Can’t you just climb up there without any gear?” Sweetie Belle asked.
“I’d rather not.” Ray said.
“C’mon Ray.” Apple Bloom said. She made that same pouty face that convinced him in the first place.
“Alright.” Ray said. He grabbed all of the stuff he needed and started climbing. As he set a few of the hooks when suddenly he fell and to his misfortune he discovered that he didn’t set anything up right.
“I guess he forgot he could fly.” Sweetie Belle said.
“Ah guess Ah should go git Applejack an’ Big Mac.” Apple Bloom said. Both fillies looked down at Ray who twitched a little bit.
“Yeah…at least I hope so. So hurry up.” Sweetie Belle said. Apple Bloom went to get both Applejack and Big Mac while Sweetie Belle stayed with Ray. “We’re trusting him to see where we went wrong?”
After a few moments Apple Bloom returned with her older siblings. Applejack walked over to Ray who was semi-conscious and looking right at her.
“Ya forgot y’all could fly.” Applejack said.
“I…have wings?” Ray asked.
“Ugh…I guess somepony has to carry you back to the farm. Big Mac, you know what to do.” Applejack said.
“Eeyup.” Big Mac said. Applejack helped Ray up onto Big Mac’s back then secured him with a rope.
“Now don’t go fallin’ off ya hear?” Applejack asked. Ray looked up at her then patted her on the head. “Let’s git him back to the farm.” As they started back to the farm Ray hugged Big Mac.
“Er...” Big Mac said.
“See now ya have a new friend Big Mac.” Applejack said. Apple Bloom caught up with her older siblings. “Now yer no longer allowed to use Ray here to help y’all with yer cutie mark search.”
“But Applejack.” Apple Bloom said.
“Apparently he’s a few apples short of a bushel so the answer remains.” Applejack said.
“Don’t worry…I’ll do that thing.” Ray said.
“What thing?” Applejack asked. Apple Bloom looked down at the ground.
“Jus’ somethin’ I asked him to help me with.” Apple Bloom answered.
“Which is?” Applejack asked.
“Somethin’ to do with mah cutie mark…sorry Ray.” Apple Bloom said.
“No problem.” Ray said. He grabbed Applejack’s Stetson and put it on his head. Big Mac rolled his eyes and walked a little bit slower. “Hey look…I’m pretty…”
“Gimme that.” Applejack demanded. A little annoyed she took her hat back and put it back on.
“Hey does this count as me riding Big Mac?” Ray said. Not knowing which way to take that statement the two older ones remained silent.
“Hopefully they find a way to git these guys back to their world.” Applejack said.
“Eeyup.” Big Mac agreed. They kept walking back to the farm and tried to ignore Ray. This is only going to be the beginning of the headaches.

Let's Go on an Adventure Pt. 1
Gavin watched as Rainbow Dash kicked some clouds. There were so many questions going through his head that he couldn’t keep up with them. How did he get here, why was he tied up to begin with, what is the problem with this blue flying pony, and why was he a cartoon?
When Rainbow Dash was finished she flew down to him. She knew she had to watch over him but honestly, he’s an asshole. One thing is certain there is no way she’s going to like him.
“What are you going to do now?” Gavin asked.
“Well I finished up clearing the skies over here so I’m going to clear the skies over in that area over there.” Rainbow Dash said.
“Well this doesn’t make any sense at all.” Gavin said.
“Why is that?” Rainbow Dash asked.
“It just doesn’t” Gavin said.
“Okay, you don’t make sense.” Rainbow Dash said.
“I make plenty of sense.” Gavin said.
“You are here in a world filled with ponies, and you are a human with wings. Call me crazy but you are the weird one here. Therefore you don’t make sense.” Rainbow Dash said.
“Well…your mane doesn’t make any sense.” Gavin said.
“Hey.” Rainbow Dash said.
“I mean what are you? Some sort of lesbian pony or something like that?” Gavin asked. The rage within Rainbow had reached its boiling point. She couldn’t take it anymore.
“That’s it. You’re dead. I’ll give you a 10 second head start.” Rainbow Dash said.
“Wha-Why?” Gavin asked.
“Start running.” Rainbow Dash growled. Gavin started running as fast as he could. They weren’t that far from Ponyville. He ran throughout the streets of Ponyville to avoid being killed by the enraged blue pony. As he ran he knew he would have to find somewhere he could hide but where? Then he saw a building that stuck out to him so he ran inside.
“Michael!” Gavin cried out. The one person who could possibly save him from the wrath of Rainbow Dash stood before him utterly confused by the sudden appearance of Gavin.
“Gavin?” Michael said.
“Michael, the bird is trying to kill me.” Gavin said.
“So.” Michael answered.
“You’ve got to protect me.” Gavin said. He hid behind Michael and cowered in fear. Michael looked down at the pitiful disgrace known as Gavin. Rainbow Dash casually walked through the door because Gavin left the door open. “Michael.”
“Why do I have to protect you from your own stupidity? You’re going to find a way to kill yourself anyways.” Michael said.
“No, Michael. What about Team Nice Dynamite?” Gavin asked.
“I’ll see what I can do. Even if it would be fun to watch you get killed by Rainbow Dash.” Michael sighed.
“Oh thank you Michael.” Gavin said. Michael calmly walked up to the enraged Rainbow Dash.
“Hey I know you want to kill him, I mean all of us have thought of it several times. He can’t stop the stupid things that come out of his mouth. Just ignore him and kill him when he least expects it.” Michael said.
“Michael!” Gavin cried.
“You don’t want to kill him here and make Rarity clean the mess up. That wouldn’t be what a friend would do.” Michael said.
“Fine…you hear that Gavin? I won’t kill you today, consider yourself lucky.” Rainbow Dash said. She left and Gavin stood up.
“That’s right walk…” Gavin yelled.
“You aren’t making it easier.” Michael said. Gavin looked at Michael dumbfounded. “Also you do realize you have to stay with her.”
“No I don’t.” Gavin said.
“Well I guess you can stay outside and die like the dog you are.” Michael said.
“But I wanna stay with you, my boy Michael.” Gavin said.
“Well you can’t.” Michael said.
“You’re my boy Michael.” Gavin said.
“Gavin, you can’t always change something you don’t like sometimes you have to man up and stop being a little bitch.” Michael said.
“That blue horse wants to kill me.” Gavin said.
“What did you do to make her hate you so much?” Michael asked. Gavin thought for a while. He thought so hard that you can almost hear the dead hamster run on its little hamster wheel.
“I dunno.” Gavin said.
“Really?” Michael asked.
“I was just asking her a legitimate question.” Gavin said.
“Let me guess, you asked her if she was a…” Michael said.
“Yes.” Gavin answered. Rarity walked in with a cup of tea then handed it to Michael. “You’re drinking tea?”
“It’s a special tea.” Rarity said. Michael took a sip and smiled.
“Special indeed.” Michael said.
“It’s a blend of my own creation. Do you like it?” Rarity asked.
“Yes, yes I do.” Michael said.
“Oh good. Would you like a cup?” Rarity asked. She looked at Gavin who was dumbfounded.
“He doesn’t need this type of thing…I mean he’s already irritated Dash to the point where she wants to kill him.” Michael said.
“Oh dear.” Rarity said.
“Michael, I want to try it.” Gavin said.
“No, this is the least you can do since I saved your ass from Rainbow Dash.” Michael said.
“But Michael…” Gavin begged.
“But Gavin...” Michael said. At that moment two fillies walked in. Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle were fighting over whether or not they were right about something.
“Hey look more of them.” Sweetie Belle said. They casually walked over to the two humans and Rarity. “Hi, what are your names?”
“Well I’m Michael and this poor excuse of a man is Gavin.” Michael said. Apple Bloom walked around them then stopped in front of Gavin.
“Ya replaced our friend.” Apple Bloom said.
“Oh look Michael, little ones.” Gavin said.
“Shut the f…shut up Gavin.” Michael said.
“Did you just censor yourself?” Gavin asked. Michael thought about it for a while and he censored himself around the little fillies. Which is unusual to him since usually he doesn’t give a fuck but something made him think about his words.
“Yeah I did.” Michael said. A confused look overtook his face as he tried to figure out what was going on with him.
“Are ya two any smarter than Ray?” Apple Bloom asked.
“Of course we are.” Gavin said.
“Not you. You are the dumbest person I have had the honor to meet.” Michael said.
“Michael.” Gavin said. He was hurt by Michael’s words.
“Hey I said ‘honor’ so that should count for something.” Michael said.
“Wait he replaced Scootaloo?” Sweetie Belle interjected. Rarity looked down at her little sister in disapproval.
“Now Sweetie…” Rarity started to say.
“It’s okay Rarity. Yes Sweetie Belle, apparently this fella here replaced Scoots.” Michael said.
“If you’ll excuse us we’re going to go back outside.” Sweetie Belle said. Both her and Apple Bloom walked outside. Gavin grew curious of the smaller ponies; this whole world went from scary to intriguing. He soon left the side of Michael and Rarity to go see what the two fillies were up to. When he caught up with them they looked at him.
“What are you doing?” Gavin asked.
“We were talking.” Sweetie Belle said.
“What were you talking about?” Gavin asked.
“Stuff.” Sweetie Belle said.
“Bef’re this gits ta the stupid part, we were gonna ask if ya’d like to help us git our cutie marks.” Apple Bloom said.
“I thought it was about…” Sweetie Belle started to say before Apple Bloom put her hoof in Sweetie Belle’s mouth.
“Jus’ that ain’t nothin’ else.” Apple Bloom said.
“What was the little unicorn going to say?” Gavin asked. Apple Bloom removed her hoof from Sweetie Belle’s mouth.
“I was thinking more of an adventure, than just a thing to get our cutie marks.” Sweetie Belle said. She was lying but it was better that Gavin didn’t know a thing about what Ray was helping out with.
“That sounds like fun.” Gavin said.
“Really? Y’all ain’t gonna ask any questions?” Apple Bloom asked.
“What could go wrong in this world? It is inhabited by adorable little ponies.” Gavin said. He had no idea of the various creatures of Equestria.
“Uh…” The two fillies said, they were utterly confused by the comment that Gavin made. They had to remind themselves that they are from a different dimension.
“Sure?” Sweetie Belle said with a question in her voice.
“So what are we going to do?” Gavin asked.
“We’re gonna go on an adventure.” Apple Bloom said.
“To where?” Gavin asked.
“We’re going to go collect some stuff in the Everfree forest.” Sweetie Belle said.
“The Ever…what?” Gavin asked. Apple Bloom had a hoof-to-face reaction, they’re hoping these new creatures can figure out how to fix everything.
“Let’s go.” Apple Bloom said. They started to walk off and Michael runs out to meet them.
“I better come with you.” Michael said.
“Why?” Sweetie Belle asked.
“One your sister wants me to go, and two this guy is the least dependable guy around.” Michael said.
“Hey, I can do stuff…” Gavin said.
“Every time we play games you are more of a threat to yourself than anybody else, so I have to come along.” Michael said.
“So you’re just looking out for me?” Gavin asked.
“In a way but I’m mostly looking out for these two.” Michael said.
“What if we run into a scary monster?” Sweetie Belle asked.
“I’ll take them on while Gavin here would probably pee himself.” Michael said.
“Monsters?” Gavin asked. A sudden fear came over Gavin as he realized there were monsters in this world. Every new thing that he has learned since coming into this world is that the world is dangerous.
“C’mon we’re losin’ daylight.” Apple Bloom said.
“To the Everfree!” Sweetie Belle cheered. The two fillies started to leave but Gavin and Michael stood there in awe. Finally Michael started to catch up with the two fillies. Gavin not wanting to be left alone caught up to the others. According to him it was the best way to avoid being mullered by Rainbow Dash. As he caught up the two crusaders sighed knowing this is the best they’ve got to avoid getting in trouble with their sisters. After all they didn’t know they were only ones to blame for this whole situation.
Achievement Hunter in Equestria: JT Hailstorm Edition
Let's Go on an Adventure Pt. 2
At the edge of the Everfree forest the crusaders stood with Gavin and Michael. In the Everfree, weather wasn’t controlled by pegasi, the animals took care of themselves, and there were creatures in there that could eat a pony whole. Gavin convinced himself that nothing is in there and if there was something, Michael would protect him and the two fillies.
“Well let’s go.” Michael said.
“Now?” Gavin asked.
“What’s the matter Gavin? Scared?” Michael teased.
“No, but this is no place for little ponies. Especially girl ponies.” Gavin said. Michael rolled his eyes at what Gavin said.
“Hey, we’re the ones that asked you to go on the adventure with us. Also we’ve been in there before.” Sweetie Belle said.
“Likely story.” Gavin said. Sweetie Belle and Gavin started fighting. Apple Bloom stood next to Michael then she looked up at him.
“Michael, is he always this dumb?” Apple Bloom asked.
“Yes.” Michael answered.
“Is Ray stupid too?” Apple Bloom asked.
“Nope, he’s pretty smart.” Michael said.
“Earlier he forgot he could fly.” Apple Bloom said.
“He does have his moments. Remind me to keep Gavin away from high places.” Michael said.
“He’ll try to fly won’t he?” Apple Bloom asked.
“Yup.” Michael said.
“Well you want to enter the forest?” Apple Bloom asked.
“Yeah, it might get the other two to move.” Michael said. The two started walking into the forest and that’s when Gavin and Sweetie Belle noticed they were getting left behind. As they caught up they continued to argue about the stupidest of things. Finally things got quiet for a little bit and then the stupid questions ensued.
“So what are we collecting?” Gavin asked.
“Huh? Oh, we’re gonna collect some plants.” Apple Bloom said.
“What for?” Gavin asked.
“Gavin, enough of the questions.” Michael said.
“I just want to know why we are here in this scary place.” Gavin said.
“Just shut up, you might attract a monster.” Michael said. Just as he expected, Gavin shut up and they continued walking throughout the Everfree collecting plants. There were some instances where Michael had to carry a member of the party. Things were going smoothly but little did they know a creature that wanted an easy meal was stalking them.
The group had decided to take a break since two of them are fillies, and one is just like a child, so they had to stop. While the others ate, Michael sat next to a tree and stared up to the sky. He couldn’t shake this feeling they were being followed, but he just shrugged it off and watched as Gavin fought with Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom. Watching those three fight about stupid facts reminds him of things back at the office.
Meanwhile back in Ponyville, more specifically the Carousel Boutique Applejack is frantically trying to find her sister. Rarity is trying to reassure her frantic friend.
“She is off crusading with my sister and two of those humans.” Rarity said.
“D’ya know where they went?” Applejack asked. The tension in the room was so thick, not even Miley Cyrus could break it with her wrecking ball.
“I don’t know.” Rarity said.
“This is bad.” Applejack said.
“Why?” Rarity asked. Then the sudden realization set in. She had allowed these humans to go on an adventure with her little sister. “We must find them.”
“Well let’s go.” Applejack said. The two worried sisters ran out to go look for their little sisters. Little did they know, they were in excellent hands…ones that did not belong to Gavin.
Back to the Crusaders and Team Nice Dynamite. The little ones finished up and they continued on with their quest. As they walked along Gavin stayed back with Michael.
“So what I’m saying is that this world is basically impossible.” Gavin said.
“Gavin, what are you talking about?” Michael asked.
“We shouldn’t even be here, like this is another universe and we shouldn’t be able to exist in this place.” Gavin said.
“We shouldn’t be here but here we are.” Michael said.
“Another thing, they said there would be monsters but there aren’t any monsters.” Gavin said.
“Now you’re just asking for something scary to jump out.” Michael said.
“Don’t say that Michael…” Gavin said.
“You’re the one that was asking about monsters.” Michael said.
“Could you two stop talking for awhile?” Sweetie Belle asked. The two fillies stopped and looked back at the two men arguing. Michael and Gavin stopped and stared at the fillies in confusion.
“Yeah, it’s kinda gettin’ old.” Apple Bloom said.
“Are you done collecting your stuff?” Gavin asked.
“Yeah now we have to find our way out.” Sweetie Belle said. Some time passed and they stood in the middle of the Everfree without moving.
“Well aren’t we going to go back to…wherever that place is?” Gavin said.
“Uh…” Both fillies said. They looked at each other because they had realized, that neither nopony nor nobody kept track of where they were going. The worst fears have been realized, they are lost in the middle of the Everfree forest with two strange beings. In their minds they hoped their sisters would’ve realized they’d gone off on an adventure with the two humans and seeing what Ray did earlier, hopefully Applejack is frantically searching for the two.
“That doesn’t sound good.” Michael said.
“What’s wrong?” Gavin asked in a panic.
“You guys wouldn’t have happened to remember which way we came from?” Sweetie Belle asked.
“We’re lost?” Gavin asked. His eyes got bigger because he was in the middle of a strange forest in a strange world inhabited by equines, and there are creatures that could eat a pony whole.
“Maybe our sisters are coming for us.” Sweetie Belle said.
“Did anypony see us walkin’ into the Everfree?” Apple Bloom asked.
“Hopefully.” Sweetie Belle said.
“Shouldn’t we try to backtrack?” Gavin asked.
“No, that’s a horrible idea.” Michael said.
“Well Geoff isn’t going to teleport us out of this one.” Gavin said.
“No duh, we’re not in Minecraft.” Michael said.
“Then why should we stay put?” Gavin asked.
“Because they could track us and if we move they will take longer to find us.” Michael said. The two fillies and Gavin suddenly got a look of fear as they looked at something behind Michael.
“M-Michael…” Gavin stuttered.
“Run!” Apple Bloom said. The three started running away. Michael turned to see the frightening creature staring at him. A fearsome Timberwolf let out a vicious roar as Michael turned to run. Running as fast as he could he tried to catch up with the Crusaders to protect them somehow. Gavin can handle himself, while these fillies being young and all; he just felt the need to protect them.
“What is that thing?” Gavin yelled. Both he and Michael looked back at the Timber wolf, and noticed it turned into a pack of Timberwolves.
“It’s called a Timberwolf!” Michael yelled to Gavin.
“A Timber-what?” Gavin asked. He tripped over a rock and started rolling down a hill. Half the pack broke off and chased after Gavin while the other half continued chasing after Michael and the crusaders.
“What are we going to do?” Apple Bloom asked.
“Keep running comes to mind.” Sweetie Belle said. They nearly ran off a cliff but luckily they stopped in time. The Timberwolves started to close in on the three of them.
“Ah wish mah sister was here…” Apple Bloom said. She hoped her sister would come and save them much like she did when she tried to make that pie delivery and that Chimera was about to eat her. However today she wasn’t as lucky, so she hid behind Michael.
Not wanting to see the fillies hurt Michael punched one and it broke apart but another Timberwolf took that one’s place. It seems as though this was it, but no, it couldn’t be. Michael clenched his fists and started punching the Timberwolves. Just like Magic he was engulfed with a magical aura and he became the mighty spirit, Mogar.
After a few minutes all the Timberwolves were annihilated. The crusaders looked on in awe at their savior. Michael returned to normal then shook his head and looked around. In awe of what he did he stared at the broken branches on the ground. He had this feeling of awesomeness and achievement, so he smiled.
Moments later Applejack and Rarity showed up and the two crusaders ran over to their big sisters. The two mares looked at the ground then back to Michael. He in a casual manner he walked over to the ponies.
“What happened here?” Applejack asked.
“We were attacked by a buncha Timberwolves an’ Michael saved us.” Apple Bloom said. Applejack looked on in disbelief while Rarity looked like she was counting them.
“Where’s that other fellow?” Rarity asked. Michael’s eyes widened as he remembered the Timberwolves chasing after Gavin after he tripped.
“I’m coming for you Gavin!” Michael yelled as he ran off in the direction he hoped Gavin was in. The ponies followed Michael as he went off in search of his friend. Even if sometimes Gavin annoyed him with how stupid he was, Michael still considered him his friend.
“What happened exactly?” Applejack asked.
“We were escorting the crusaders here as they gathered some stuff for something. Timberwolves attacked, Gavin tripped then rolled off somewhere. I protected the crusaders with some sort of magic.” Michael said. He finally saw some prints and started following them. The prints appeared to be human so that gave him hope that Gavin got up and started running. “How did you find us?”
“Rainbow Dash.” Applejack said.
“Is she flying over or what?” Michael asked.
“Darling, she’s the one that found you three. I’m sure she’ll find your friend.” Rarity said. They kept running as they tried to find Gavin. Every tree started to look the same and it was frustrating Michael. Hopefully Gavin wasn’t done in by the Timberwolves or had any done to him by the pony that hated him the most. In the distance he could hear the terrified screams that sounded like Gavin’s screams.
“Gavin! I’m coming for you!” Michael yelled.
“Michael! I’m scared!” Gavin yelled back. Michael ran as fast as he could in that direction. It was a good thing it wasn’t too late to save Gavin. Hopefully he could save Gavin much like he did with the crusaders.
Sitting terrified in a tree, Gavin had a vice grip on the top branch and tried not to look down. After tripping and nearly getting done in by the scary monsters, he had hoped Michael would save him somehow. To hear Michael’s voice sorta calmed him down but the Timberwolves circling the tree still scared him.
“Michael!” Gavin cried out. He could hear the branch start to break. He looked around to see if Michael was there but all he could see was the Timberwolves still circling.
“Gavin! I’m almost there!” Michael yelled.
“Hurry Michael!” Gavin yelled. He didn’t know what would give first, him or the tree. Then he heard something snap then he started plummeting towards the ground. Bracing for impact he closed his eyes tightly. A few moments passed and he couldn’t feel the ground. Opening his eyes he looked up to see Rainbow Dash holding him up, just a little bit above the Timberwolves' reach.
“Gavin!” Michael yelled. He ignored Michael this time and continued to stare in awe that Rainbow Dash rescued him.
“Y-you saved me.” Gavin said.
“Did I now?” Rainbow Dash asked.
“Don’t drop me.” Gavin said.
“I won’t if you apologize for what happened earlier.” Rainbow Dash said.
“Nothing happened. You just overreacted.” Gavin said.
“You sure?” Rainbow Dash asked.
“Yes.” Gavin said. He could feel Rainbow Dash loosening her grip on him. “Okay I was wrong of asking you that kind of stuff, fighting with you, and all that other junk.”
“I guess that’ll do.” Rainbow Dash said. She started to fly up but Gavin was snagged on something so he fell out of her grip and fell into the Timberwolves below. “I didn’t mean to do that.” Watching on in horror, she looked away and got out of there as fast as she could.
Michael and the others finally stumbled upon Gavin and the Timberwolves. Instantly the two older ponies covered the eyes of their sisters while Michael looked on in horror. He wasn’t quick enough. Feeling the magic pulsing through him, he clenched his fists and rushed into the Timberwolves.
After annihilating the Timberwolves he turned to where Gavin’s body was, but there was nothing there. The others walked over, equally as confused by the occurrence. Then suddenly Gavin walked up to them. He didn’t have a scratch or bruise on him.
“Hey guys…oh looks like someone got on your nerves.” Gavin said.
“B-but…” Michael said.
“What is it Michael?” Gavin asked.
“You were just here and now you’re there.” Michael said.
“Uh…I have no idea what you are talking about.” Gavin said.
“But you were…and now you are…” Michael said. Completely dumbfounded and with the lack of words for what he has witnessed.
Finally Rainbow Dash flew back as if to see how things went before she accidentally killed Gavin. When she saw Gavin standing there without a scratch she landed next to her friends and stared on in awe.
“I thought you were dead.” Rainbow Dash said.
“Me? Dead? No.” Gavin said.
“I saw you fall into the Timberwolves.” Rainbow Dash said.
“Timber what?” Gavin asked.
“Can somepony tell me what exactly is going on?” Rainbow Dash asked.
“Yer guess is as good as mine.” Applejack said. The three older ponies began talking amongst each other. So Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle went over and circled Gavin once.
“Ya thinkin’ the same thing Ah’m thinkin’?” Apple Bloom asked.
“Respawn?” Sweetie Belle asked.
“Maybe due to the magic in this world an’ the magical disappearance of the game caused this?” Apple Bloom asked.
“Maybe. We need more evidence of the magical abilities.” Sweetie Belle said.
“We’ll talk later.” Apple Bloom said. The fillies looked up at Michael and Gavin who were staring at them in confusion. “What?”
“All of that you just said.” Michael said.
“Oh that…uh…yeah. Ask Ray.” Apple Bloom said. She wanted to divert their attention to Ray since one, he’s not here, and two he’s far away from her sister who would probably disapprove of her doing something so foolish.
“Ray knows about this?” Michael asked.
“Oh look Michael sticks all over.” Gavin said. He reached down and grabbed a stick and poked Michael with the stick. Michael sighed and resisted beating the hell out of Gavin.
“Please tell me he didn’t get stupider.” Michael said.
“We don’t know what happens. This is the first time we’ve seen it happen and apparently it only happens with you humans.” Sweetie Belle said.
“Uh…what?” Gavin asked.
“Ah think it made him stupider.” Apple Bloom said.
“You and me both.” Michael said. The three older ponies joined the four.
“Well we better git y’all outta here bef’re anythin’ else happens.” Applejack said. All of them made their way out of the Everfree forest, with more questions on their minds. One thing was certain things were getting weirder and weirder.
Meanwhile in a remote and nearly unreachable place in Equestria, the crazed man known as Ryan stared into a crystal ball. With a cow dubbed Edgar at his side he laughed manically.
“Edgar my faithful second-in-command; how is the search for more bovine?” Ryan asked.
“Moo.” Edgar said. Ryan looked down at Edgar and patted him on the head.
“Good. This rule of equines is coming to an end, after all they have those idiots helping them…or rather the colorful equines are helping my idiot…friends? Well I don’t think friends is a way to describe it…my co-workers, that’s the word I was looking for.” Ryan said.
“Moo.” Edgar said.
“Geoff? He’s drunk and he’s ruling over them I think this will be easy.” Ryan said.
“Moo.” Edgar said.
“The colorful ponies? Well I have to keep watching them before I make any notion based on their activities.” Ryan said.
“Moo?” Edgar said.
“Jack, won’t find a way. Ray will mess something up. Gavin will keep killing himself. Michael and Lindsay will be sent back to that one place they were talking about. Kerry is just as useful as Gavin…maybe less.” Ryan said.
“Moo.” Edgar said.
“Edgar, with this power I have, nobody can stop me and of course you…oh and our army.” Ryan said. He laughed his crazed laugh then returned to the crystal ball. “Let’s see how Lindsay is doing with what’s-her-face.” The image on the crystal ball changed from the group in the Everfree to Lindsay helping Fluttershy with some various animal tending.
Achievement Hunter in Equestria: JT Hailstorm Edition
As the ponies got back from the Everfree forest they were met by Pinkie, Fluttershy, Kerry, and Lindsay. They looked at how confused each of their friends were, minus Gavin, but the others were confused as to what had taken place in the forest.
“What happened in there?” Fluttershy asked.
“We don’t even know.” Rainbow Dash said.
“What do you mean you don’t know?” Pinkie Pie asked.
“Jus’ as it is, we go in save the fillies or rather bring ‘em out but there are more questions than answers now.” Applejack said.
“Kerry!” Gavin yelled as he ran towards Kerry.
“It’s all because of him.” Rainbow Dash said.
“Well we’re gonna head back to the clubhouse.” Apple Bloom said.
“Go on then, jus’ don’t bother Ray.” Applejack said. The crusaders ran off towards the farm and Applejack watched as the fillies ran off. Michael and Lindsay reunited and talked off to the side.
“What happened in there?” Lindsay asked.
“Gavin and I were escorting the crusaders in the Everfree, then a pack of Timberwolves attacked. They separated us from Gavin but I stayed with the crusaders to protect them. I took out the Timberwolves there were chasing us and that’s when Applejack and Rarity joined us. Then we went to find Gavin…then when we found him we was being torn apart by the Timberwolves.” Michael explained.
“But he’s here.” Lindsay said.
“I was getting to that. Anyways a few minutes later after I demolished the Timberwolves, Gavin shows back up and his old body was nowhere to be found.” Michael said.
“So he respawned?” Lindsay asked.
“Shit I don’t know, maybe.” Michael said.
“This is confusing.” Lindsay said.
“Apparently we need to talk to Ray about something.” Michael said.
“Why Ray?” Lindsay asked.
“It has something to do with the Crusaders and they said he should know a little bit more.” Michael explained. Then out of nowhere Luna appeared all the ponies stared in her direction.
“Ponies, I need you to gather all of the humans here.” Princess Luna said. Rainbow Dash flew off and gathered Ray and Jack then brought them to the spot where Princess Luna commanded. The AH crew was gathered around, minus Princess Geoff and Ryan.
“Did you figure out how to send us back?” Jack asked.
“No, however I have found a way to disguise you humans so the ponies won’t panic when they see you running around. However ponies that have already met you and got acquainted with you humans will only see you as humans.” Princess Luna explained.
“Will be able to see ourselves as ponies?” Ray asked.
“Only when you look into a mirror.” Princess Luna said.
“Where’s Geoff?” Michael asked.
“He’s back in Canterlot performing my sister’s duties.” Princess Luna said. Jack gave Princess Luna a puzzled look then shook his head.
“Geoff ruling a kingdom?” Jack said.
“He’ll make a good leader.” Michael said.
“If there are no more questions I’m going to cast this spell on you.” Princess Luna said. She cast the spell and her magic engulfed the six friends and then they were set back down on the ground. The looked at each other then at the ponies staring on, they had undergone a transformation they can’t see.
“Rarity do you have a mirror on you?” Michael asked. Rarity shook her head then Rainbow Dash flew off and got a mirror for the Achievement Hunters to look at themselves in.
“What the hell? Why am I Spitfire?” Ray asked. He flew around then landed.
“Oh look I’m a purple unicorn…pegasus thing.” Jack said. He spun around in place to get a sort of 360 look at himself. Then he spread his wings and looked at them.
“You’re an alicorn, Jack.” Michael said. Michael looked at himself, he knew he was one or the other but in a way he guessed it. He was Shining Armor and his wife, Lindsay, was Cadance.
“How come I’m smaller than you guys?” Gavin asked.
“Because you are a filly.” Michael said.
“So I’m a girl?” Gavin asked.
“Yes.” Michael said.
“Who the fuck is Kerry?” Lindsay asked. Everyone looked at Kerry who looked a little perplexed. In the mirror Kerry saw a grey stallion with grey eyes but he had a grey spikey mane.
“Guys…who am I?” Kerry asked.
“I have no clue?” Michael said. He looked at Ray.
“Don’t look at me, I don’t know.” Ray said. Michael looked to the others but they were still in awe. Finally Applejack broke the silence.
“Who the hay is that feller?” Applejack asked.
“See even they don’t know who that is.” Ray said.
“Hahaha nobody knows who Kerry is.” Michael laughed.
“Aw…it’s okay Kerry. The fans don’t even know who you are so you should be used of this.” Ray said.
“Gee thanks guys.” Kerry said.
“Now that everypony sees you for who you represent I must get you to the right places. Ray must resume his spot as Captain of the Wonderbolts. Michael and Lindsay shall take their rule over the Crystal Empire. As for the others Jack continue your studies, as for the other two of you…I guess Gavin go to school and live life like a filly, and the other one just do something.” Princess Luna said.
“Wait we have to rule?” Lindsay asked.
“Yes, because you two now look like Princess Cadence and Prince Shining Armor, you are to rule over the Crystal Empire.” Princess Luna said.
“Sounds interesting, I’ll allow it.” Michael said.
“We have no time to lose, let’s be off.” Princess Luna said. A royal escort came by and flew Michael and Lindsay off to the Crystal Empire, while Princess Luna escorted Ray to where he’s supposed to be.
The other left behind looked at each other. Then Jack headed back to the castle. He had to find a way out of this place before something happens. Deep down he didn’t want his friends to mess this world up but by the looks of things, they just might mess up Equestria.
Achievement Hunter in Equestria: JT Hailstorm Edition
As Luna got back she went to her room and went to sleep. This day has been the most stressful day…with her having to raise the sun and dealing with humans. Sleep needed to come to her, so she may carryout her duties at night. Her last thought was that she knows the advisors will keep Geoff in line.
Meanwhile in the throne room, a rather intoxicated Geoff is listening to a few disputes so he may make judgment on each case. Secretly he takes a swig of the bottle he smuggled out of the chamber.
“…and that’s my side of the story.” The earth pony said. Geoff looked at the pony in confusion cause he’s never been good at listening to people especially when it comes to people complaining to him. He thought for awhile then agreed on a decision.
“I am in favor of the hard working one.” Geoff said. The earth pony smiled at the pegasus then stuck his tongue out.
“But you’re majesty…how do you determine hard work?” The pegasus said.
“Okay then I am in favor of the earth pony, is that a clarified answer for you?” Geoff asked.
“Yes your highness.” The pegasus said. The two left, the pegasus pony with his head down and the earth pony with his head held high. Geoff took another quick swig. He fears the advisors know he’s drinking but they won’t say anything.
“Your royal highness, the next case is between…” The Guard announced. Two ponies walked in both scowling at each other. He was about to ignore them when he recognized Kerry and the other pony was an earth pony named Octavia Melody.
“Kerry?” Geoff asked.
“Hi Ge-I mean Princess.” Kerry said.
“What’s the problem?” Geoff asked.
“This stallion broke my cello. I was in Ponyville to do a performance but this stallion broke my cello.” Octavia said.
“Hey it was an accident.” Kerry said.
“What’s your side of the story Kerry?” Geoff asked. He secretly took a swig from the bottle.
“Well it was shortly after we were talking to Princess Luna when I was headed back to Sugar Cube Corner with Pinkie Pie, when I tripped and…” Kerry explained.
“Your face is the problem. I rule in favor of the plaintiff, Kerry must purchase a new cello for Octavia.” Geoff said.
“But I don’t have any money.” Kerry said.
“Yo momma don’t have no money either.” Geoff said.
“What?” Kerry asked.
“I demand a new cello for the plaintiff. Kerry is to be thrown in the dungeon until further notice.” Geoff said.
“Wait that’s not fair.” Kerry said.
“Your face isn’t fair.” Geoff said.
“What?” Kerry asked.
“What.” Geoff said.
“Well it’s fair for me.” Octavia said. The guards grabbed Kerry and dragged him off to the dungeon. Octavia was escorted out of the throne room. Geoff could feel the world moving and things got a little blurry. An advisor came in and stood before Geoff.
“Princess, the next thing on your agenda is another meeting.” The advisor said.
“Yay.” Geoff said. He got up and tried not to fall over or give himself away as being drunk. Even if he totally was, but the advisors haven’t caught on so he’s good. The Advisor escorted him to the meeting room where some professional blue suited ponies had their presentation set up.
Several hours pass and Geoff nearly falls asleep in the meeting. Finally he finished that bottle he was taking swigs from. After the meeting he excused himself to the bathroom. Then he took the walk down to the Chamber of Booze retrieved a bottle then sealed the chamber and actually used the bathroom.
Upon his return he was given several documents to sign and he did except with his own brand of humor. He signed each document with a picture of a dick, each one different than the other. The business ponies and the advisors didn’t find it as hilarious as Geoff did.
“Princess you need to be serious about this.” One of the business ponies said.
“Your face needs to be serious.” Geoff said.
“What?” The business pony said.
“Princess.” One of the Advisors said.
“What?” Geoff asked. Then he fell out of his chair and the bottle fell from his grasp. The closest advisor used his magic to levitate the bottle.
“Princess, what are you doing drinking this…this stuff?” The advisor said.
“You need to lighten up.” Geoff said.
“We’ll come back when the Princess is sober.” The business pony said. All of the business ponies packed up their presentation and left. Geoff continued to lie on the ground.
“I think we should let the Princess sober up for the rest of the day.” One of the Advisors said.
“Indeed. Have the guards help the Princess to her quarters.” Another Advisor said. The guards entered the room and helped Geoff up. They helped Geoff get to the room where he started off the day. When they knew he wasn’t in immediate danger they went outside of the room and one of them stayed guard.
Geoff fell on the bed then started thinking about his day. The day was rough, waking up in this world, instantly becoming a ruler, finding the Chamber of Booze, and sitting through boring stuff. This was different than ruling over the Achievement Hunter office. Then like that he passed out.
Achievement Hunter in Equestria: JT Hailstorm Edition
After Ray was told what to do, he still had to master flying in order to pass as the Captain of the Wonderbolts. He still couldn’t believe he could walk on cloud but he did replace a pegasus after all. As he sat in the office using the stamp to approve various documents and so on. Being captain isn’t as fun as he thought but it’s better than actually flying.
Finally after hours of reading documents and approving or disapproving them he had some time to look over all of those papers Apple Bloom gave him. Sure he’s played plenty of games but coding them is a different thing and he’s not familiar with it at all. As he read over it he discovered this wasn’t code, it was a spell, now it made sense. Then there was a knock on his door so he quickly put the papers away in the desk.
“You may enter.” Ray said. He hoped that’s what they say in the military or at least what they say in the Wonderbolts. The door opened and Soarin’ stepped through.
“Captain are we going to practice today or what?” Soarin’ asked. Ray had to think of something that wouldn’t give him away.
“Uh…yeah I’ll be out in a few. Just got to finish up a few things.” Ray said.
“Okay whatever you say.” Soarin’ said. He walked out and Ray looked around for some kind of guide on flight formations, or some plans, something…anything to help him. Finally he gave up went into the locker rooms and changed into a flight suit. Before heading out he stopped and looked at himself in the mirror.
“Spitfire you look good in this.” Ray said. Then out of the shadows Rainbow Dash appeared. “Rainbow? I thought you were back in Ponyville.”
“I decided to help you. It’s better than listening to your dumb friend.” Rainbow Dash said.
“Gavin’s annoying you that much.” Ray said.
“Pretty much.” Rainbow Dash said.
“So you’re going to help me huh?” Ray asked.
“Yeah, so hopefully you gained all of her abilities as a skilled flier. You probably have her speed but all of that isn’t going to be enough if you don’t know any of their flight patterns. That’s where I can help out.” Rainbow Dash said.
“How are you going to help me learn something before they wonder what happened to me?” Ray asked.
“Easy.” Rainbow Dash said. She pulled a marker out of her saddlebag then started to draw on the mirror Ray was looking at. All of the intricate patterns all filled Ray’s mind as he learned every pattern. “Since you are the captain you take the center of the formation and call all of the shots.”
“Seems easy enough.” Ray said.
“Actually…you know what? Never mind…just remember you are not you, you are representing Spitfire.” Rainbow Dash said. There was door that opened and Dash erased all of the stuff on the mirror. “I must go now.” She went back into the shadows and was gone.
“We really need to light up the rest of the locker room.” Ray said.
“Captain, you in here?” Fleetfoot asked.
“Yeah.” Ray said. Fleetfoot walked in and looked around.
“Did you approve us to fix the locker room up cause that dark spot is kinda weird. It feels like somepony is watching us in here.” Fleetfoot said. That kind of explained why Rainbow Dash was in the shadows.
“I’m pretty sure I did.” Ray said. He thought about it for awhile and he’s pretty sure he signed off on that. “Well let’s go and fly.” Both he and Fleetfoot walked out of the locker room and went to the runway. As they got there Soarin’ was waiting patiently.
“Took you long enough.” Soarin’ sneered.
“Shut it. Let’s get going.” Ray said.
“As you command.” Soarin’ said. The three of them practiced their routine, and Ray was able to keep everypony in line. It was easy. Then he lost control on a loop and took the whole team down. As he lay on the ground he noticed his right wing was messed up. There were medics running over to them and before he closed his eyes he noticed a certain rainbow maned pony in the distance.
“Fuckin’ Dash…” Ray said. Then before he lost consciousness he noticed she changed into a human that looked like Ryan. Just as quickly as that happened Ray lost consciousness. Ryan then disappeared with the snap of his fingers.

Something, Something, Moon
Shortly after being transformed to look like the pony he replaced, Gavin tried to fit in but alas he just couldn’t. He was without his friends he’s known since he came into the states, and It seemed as though he’s pissed off the only creatures to call friends, now they won’t be his friends. Little did he know he had made two friends.
Endlessly wandering the streets he started kicking some rocks until the two fillies caught up with him. He hung his head down as they followed him.
“What’sa matter?” Apple Bloom asked.
“I miss my friends.” Gavin said.
“Well they did replace some important ponies.” Sweetie Belle said.
“If ya’d like ya could hangout with us.” Apple Bloom offered.
“I can?” Gavin asked.
“Sure, ya were there when we were wandering the Everfree and outta all of your friends yer the only one we can sorta relate to.” Apple Bloom said.
“How do I relate to you?” Gavin asked.
“Well…uh…” Apple Bloom said.
“Well you replaced a filly and we’re fillies.” Sweetie Belle said.
“Oh an’ y’all don’t have a cutie mark.” Apple Bloom said.
“A cutie mark?” Gavin asked.
“Well it is somethin’ ya git when ya find that one thing that makes ya special.” Apple Bloom explained.
“I’m an expert when it comes to doing slo-motion effects in movies and stuff like that.” Gavin said.
“What would that cutie mark look like?” Apple Bloom asked Sweetie Belle.
“I dunno but Gavin, the pony others see is just blank flank Scootaloo.” Sweetie Belle said. She looked at Gavin and he looked around.
“A blank flank?” Gavin asked.
“Ugh, you don’t have a cutie mark, ‘cause yer our friend an’ she ain’t got a cutie mark. Therefore ya ain’t got a cutie mark.” Apple Bloom sighed.
“So I don’t have a talent?” Gavin asked.
“In this world you don’t have a talent.” Sweetie Belle said.
“Aw…” Gavin said. He hung his head in shame.
“It’s ‘kay, ya could hang out with us.” Apple Bloom said.
“Yeah, and you can help us find our special talents.” Sweetie Belle said.
“Oh an’ we could have fun.” Apple Bloom said. Gavin then looked at Apple Bloom then knelt down and hugged her. Then grabbed Apple Bloom as he stood up then raised one arm and pointed to the sky.
“Okay so let’s go get our whatever mark things.” Gavin said. Apple Bloom looked down at Sweetie Belle.
“Why are all the humans drawn to you?” Sweetie Belle asked.
“Ah dunno but Ah don’t like it.” Apple Bloom said. Gavin set Apple Bloom down then he started running off. “We better go af’er him bef’re he hurts himself.” The two fillies ran after Gavin who kept running off somewhere.
“I don’t think we’re going to catch up with him.” Sweetie Belle said.
“Ah think it is best ta let him come to us.” Apple Bloom suggested.
“So you want to go have some cupcakes at Sugar Cube Corner?” Sweetie Belle asked.
“Why not, it’s not like he’s not going to notice we’re not following him.” Apple Bloom said. The two fillies stopped chasing after Gavin who was too oblivious to notice his new friends have stopped following him.
Gavin kept running until he was along on a stretch of road leading away from Ponyville. He looked around wondering where those cute fillies went when suddenly a poof of smoke appeared before him. Falling on his ass he looked up at Ryan.
“Ryan?” Gavin asked.
“Yes, Gavin, it is I. I’m the one who’s going to be the king of all of this land.” Ryan said.
“No, Ryan…I will stop you.” Gavin said.
“What are you going to do?” Ryan asked.
“I’ll get Geoff or Michael to defeat you.” Gavin said.
“They’re nowhere around.” Ryan said.
“Well then I’ll get Jack to banish you.” Gavin said. He got up and dusted himself off. Ryan just smirked at Gavin.
“Hmm…How about this Gavin, let’s play a little game.” Ryan said. Gavin was a little creeped out by the smile Ryan had.
“Um what kind of game?” Gavin asked.
“It’s your favorite, it’s the what if game.” Ryan said.
“Okay.” Gavin unsteadily said.
“Good, I’ll start. What if you were a pony?” Ryan asked.
“Then I would live in this place…Ponytown or whatever it’s called.” Gavin said.
“My turn now?” Gavin asked.
“You catch on fast now don’t you.” Ryan said.
“What if birds couldn’t fly?” Gavin asked.
“Then they would be extinct like dodos.” Ryan said.
“Your turn.” Gavin said.
“What if ponies could see what you were?” Ryan asked.
“Then they would be both frightened and intrigued, just like they were when we first came here.” Gavin answered. With the snap of Ryan’s fingers they were in the middle of town and then temporarily Gavin was seen as himself. “What is this?”
“Your answer.” Ryan said. The ponies looked at the two in amazement then mass chaos took over. Ryan snapped his fingers again and they were back to where they started off and he placed Luna’s spell back on him.
“What if I was with my new friends?” Gavin asked.
“You would be having cupcakes.” Ryan answered. He sighed then snapped his fingers. They were teleported to Sugar Cube Corner, where the two fillies were enjoying their cupcakes. Both fillies looked at Gavin who was cowering then when he realized they were there he ran behind them.
“Help.” Gavin said.
“What did you do?” Sweetie Belle asked.
“Who is that?” Apple Bloom asked.
“Well as I was running I noticed you two weren’t with me so I looked around and that’s when Ryan found me.” Gavin explained.
“Yes, and we were in the middle of a game.” Ryan said.
“A game?” Apple Bloom asked.
“Yes a game of What if?” Ryan said.
“Can we play?” Sweetie Belle asked.
“No.” Gavin said.
“Well you already involved them so now they have to play.” Ryan said.
“Bollocks.” Gavin said.
“So I guess it would be the earth pony’s turn.” Ryan said.
“Okay, What if we got free cupcakes?” Apple Bloom said.
“Then you shall be happy fillies.” Ryan answered. With a snap of his fingers it started raining cupcakes. The fillies and Gavin ran outside then Ryan joined them.
“This is fun.” Sweetie Belle said.
“What if we were on the moon?” Ryan asked.
“Huh?” The fillies and Gavin said. Then with the snap of his fingers, Ryan teleported all of them to the moon, Gavin started freaking out as he took in all that has happened. Finally he composed himself enough to answer the question.
“It would mean that we are a long way from home.” Gavin said.
“An’ it would mean our families would worry ‘bout us…an’ Rainbow Dash would worry about Gavin ‘cause secretly she cares for him.” Apple Bloom said.
“Correct, as a prize you get to live on the moon.” Ryan said.
“What?” The two fillies cried out.
“You’re supposed to teleport us back to their families and me back to Rainbow Dash.” Gavin protested.
“Now how fun would that be?” Ryan asked.
“By the way how are we surviving up here without any gear?” Gavin asked.
“Don’t you ever notice your surroundings?” Ryan asked.
“We’re in a magical place?” Gavin asked.
“Indeed we are.” Ryan said. He snapped his fingers and a chest appeared. “I’m not a monster, the fillies need to eat and drink stuff…and I guess you do too. Don’t use it all too soon.” Then he teleported himself off of the moon and the three huddled together.
“Looks like we’re stuck here.” Sweetie Belle said.
“Yeah…Ah hope mah sister an’ the others can figure out how to git us home.” Apple Bloom said.
“This place makes no sense.” Gavin said.
“Ah wonder what Princess Luna did when she was banished here.” Apple Bloom asked.
“You want to explore?” Sweetie Belle asked.
“We ain’t got anythin’ better to do.” Apple Bloom said. They looked to Gavin for reassurance on their plans.
“Sure.” Gavin said. He walked over to the chest and inside were a bunch of golden apples, a bunch of bottles of water, and an Enderchest. Now that he looked at the chest a little closer, it looked like an Enderchest. “We’ll be just fine.” Somehow he managed to carry all of the stuff and they started off on their journey on the moon.
"I wonder what we could find up here." Sweetie Belle said.
"Probably somethin' interestin'." Apple Bloom said. They headed in a direction and kept walking. So starts their adventures on the moon.
Achievement Hunter in Equestria: JT Hailstorm Edition
Jack gave Spike a break from reading just so he could explore the rest of the castle. As he wandered around he noticed that he was hungry. What could he do for food? Vegetables were out of the question, and any meat related thing was definitely out of the question. Even if he was supposed to represent a pony, he still didn’t like the fact he had to eat veggies.
Then in his time of gloomy remorse, he remembered that Michael said that the bronies said there was alcohol, so there must be nuts or pretzels, something that was bar related. First he had to find a bar. Where to start looking though? He couldn’t ask Spike, so he had to find Rainbow Dash or one of the other ponies he had met earlier.
So he set out on his mini journey to find one of the other ponies and find a bar. First he found Spike and explained that he was going out for a while, so he didn’t worry. Then he set out on his journey.
It was the first time he wandered the streets of Ponyville, so he took in all of the colors and all of the visual pleasing aspects of this world. He almost forgot what he came out of the castle for then he saw a pony eating and that reminded him. Out of desperation he started asking ponies if they knew where Rainbow Dash was, after all he did have a nice conversation with her earlier.
He was pointed to a tree where she normally took a nap. As he approached the tree he could see a sleeping Dash.
“Hey Rainbow Dash.” Jack called out. Rainbow Dash woke up and looked down at Jack.
“Oh…hey.” Rainbow Dash said.
“I was wondering about that question I had earlier.” Jack said.
“Which question?” Rainbow Dash asked.
“That one about booze.” Jack said.
“Oh yeah, that question. You can go to the bar but you’ll look desperate, your best option is to talk to AJ.” Rainbow Dash said.
“AJ?” Jack asked.
“Applejack, the one who was watching over your friend Ray.” Rainbow Dash said.
“The orange one?” Jack asked.
“Yeah.” Rainbow Dash said.
“Well can you take me to her?” Jack asked.
“Sure. Just one sec.” Rainbow Dash said. She flew off with her pillow in one direction then a second later she returned. “ Okay then let’s go.”
“Cool.” Jack said. They flew off together. “So why are we going to talk to Applejack?”
“You’ll see.” Rainbow Dash said. She guided Jack to Sweet Apple Acres.
Meanwhile Spike was enjoying some alone time when suddenly he belched up a scroll. He opened it and read it aloud even if nopony was around.
“Dear Spike, we have figured out how we can switch back but it’s going to be harder than we expected. All that needs to be done is to beat the bad-guy, cause apparently the magic cast on this certain item by a certain god of chaos, caused this whole thing to be turned into a game. Discord can’t reverse it, and we can’t use their equipment because of some set backs. So in other words it’s up to the humans to find the bad-guy and defeat him. Please inform the others and ensure the humans are all accounted for. I have faith in the humans, cause I have lost all faith over here. Signed Twilight Sparkle.” Spike said. He put the scroll in a special spot then ran as fast as he could to the outside. “I have to find everypony and tell them this news.”
Rainbow Dash and Jack reached Sweet Apple Acres. They quickly found Applejack, as she made her way back with a cart filled with apples.
“Howdy, what can Ah do ya for?” Applejack asked.
“Jack here wants to try some of your ‘special’ beverage.” Rainbow Dash said. Applejack gave a very concerned look.
“Eh…ya sure ya wanna try it?” Applejack asked.
“Sure.” Jack shrugged.
“Well if ya say so.” Applejack said. She looked at the cart behind her. “Ah guess Ah could go fer a drink as well. Jus’ let me put this away first an’ Ah’ll get ya some.” She walked to the barn and started doing stuff.
“So why is she so apprehensive to give me any?” Jack asked.
“Well…it is pretty strong stuff but it’s good. I think she just doesn’t think you can take it.” Rainbow Dash said.
“I can take it.” Jack said.
“Well we’re going to find out.” Rainbow Dash said. Applejack returned then looked at Jack.
“Ya ready?” Applejack said.
“Of course.” Jack said.
“Well come along…” Applejack said. She guided them inside the barn and she pressed a button and a secret door opened.
“Is all of this necessary?” Jack asked.
“When ya found the perfect recipe for the perfect drink, yeah.” Applejack said. All of them made their way down into the secret room. There was a full bar and Dash flew over then sat down on a stool. Jack cautiously walked over to one of the stools then sat down and waited for Applejack to serve the drink.
Though originally he wanted something to go to a bar to see what they had to eat, he convinced himself that apples are good. An apple a day keeps the doctor away, right?
Applejack set out a couple of shot glasses then pulled out a bottle with a picture of an apple. An apple, nothing too intimidating but what do you expect out of an apple farmer? She masterfully poured the drinks, which made one wonder if she should’ve been a bartender.
“All righty then, a drink fer everypony.” Applejack said.
“You ready Jack?” Rainbow Dash asked.
“As ready as I’ll ever be.” Jack said. He took the shot glass and downed it. The expression on his face made Rainbow Dash fall off of the stool due to excessive laughing. Applejack shook her head then downed her shot. Rainbow finally composed herself enough to get up and sit back down on the stool.
“Ya alright there, Jack?” Applejack asked.
“Yeah…it’s strong as hell.” Jack said.
“Yeah, I told you that it was strong.” Rainbow Dash said.
“You did but you didn’t say how strong.” Jack said.
“I don’t know what is strong to you…you’re a human and we’re ponies, things are kinda different.” Rainbow Dash said.
“I have somethin’ that’s not as strong.” Applejack said.
“That would be greatly appreciated…”Jack said. Applejack got out a stein and Jack noticed the tap. As she poured the beverage the world started moving a little slower. A stupid smile overtook Jack’s face as the alcohol started to go through his bloodstream.
“Are ya okay sugar cube?” Applejack asked. Jack just sat there staring off into the distance.
“I’ll get his attention.” Rainbow Dash said.
“Well he’s cut off.” Applejack said. Rainbow nodded then she got close to Jack’s ear. An evil grin came across he face.
“JACK!” Rainbow Dash yelled. Jack jumped and fell off of the barstool. As he lay there unconscious Applejack looked over the bar then shook her head.
“That’s the fastest Ah’ve ever saw somepony git drunk an’ pass out.” Applejack said.
“He was drunk in 10 seconds flat.” Rainbow Dash said.
“He’s gonna have one bad hangover.” Applejack said.
“I better get him one of those…” Rainbow Dash said. Then Pinkie appeared out of nowhere with a mystery treat then she force-fed Jack the treat. Jack came to and looked around.
“What just happened?” Jack asked.
“Uh…ya passed out.” Applejack said.
“Pinkie where’d you come from?” Rainbow Dash asked.
“If I told you, I’d have to kill you silly.” Pinkie Pie said. Rainbow Dash gave Pinkie a perplexed look then the pink party pony smiled. “Just kidding…or am I?”
“Anyway…what brings ya here?” Applejack asked.
“Oh Spike got another one of those scrolls from Twilight that explains that the only way for them to go-get back home is for them to find the bad guy and defeat him. Oh and we need Rainbow Dash to go tell Princess Luna of all of this stuff and help gather the humans so they all know what is going on and to create some sort of battle plan.” Pinkie Pie said. Jack and the two ponies looked at Pinkie in utter confusion.
“Okay…so I do that now?” Rainbow Dash asked.
“Only if you want.” Pinkie Pie said. She smiled a big smile then Rainbow Dash flew towards the passageway.
“So I’ll be back soon.” Rainbow Dash said. She flew off in a rainbowfied dash, which left Jack in awe.
“She’s fast…” Jack said.
“Yup, she’s one of the fastest ponies.” Pinkie Pie said. Jack looked at Pinkie who continued to bounce.
“So what was that thing you gave me?” Jack asked.
“It’s a secret treat I developed to help ponies recover quickly so they can partay some more.” Pinkie Pie said.
“Ah ain’t seen ya use that one yet.” Applejack said.
“I haven’t had to use it until now.” Pinkie Pie said.
“So we have to defeat a bad guy…it’s probably Ryan.” Jack said. Then there was a ringing in Applejack’s ear.
“Distract him.” Ryan said. Applejack looked around and it appeared that no one could hear the voice inside her head. She finished pouring the drink then put it on the edge of the bar.
“Hey ya wanted to try this. Since yer all better ya should try it.” Applejack said.
“Oh yeah I wanted that, huh? Well might as well drink it.” Jack said.
“Oooh Rainbow Dash didn’t finish her drink. I better finish it for her.” Pinkie Pie said. She downed the shot then smiled. “I love this drink.”
“Ah know ya do.” Applejack said. Jack started drinking the beverage that Applejack poured him.
“What is this?” Jack asked.
“Oh it’s hard cider.” Applejack said.
“This is better than the hard cider back in my world.” Jack said.
“Well that’s really kind of ya.” Applejack said.
“I mean it. The best quality cider.” Jack said. He looked at Pinkie who was spinning around on the barstool. “How’s Kerry doing?”
“Oh that guy…well he had a run in with a cellist and he broke her cello so he was taken to Canterlot for something.” Pinkie Pie explained.
“So will he be back?” Jack asked.
“I don’t know.” Pinkie Pie said. She continued to spin.
“Were these even made to spin?” Jack asked.
“Nope, somehow Pinkie figures out how to spin in them.” Applejack said.
“Interesting.” Jack said.
“Shouldn’t ya go back to Spike?” Applejack asked.
“Oh yeah…” Jack said. He chugged the rest of the cider then got up. “Thanks Applejack.”
“Yer welcome.” Applejack said. Jack ran out of the booze bunker and Applejack turned to Pinkie. “Did ya really lose their friend?”

Insert a Creedence Clearwater Revival Reference Here
Laboring in the orchard, Applejack, worked away trying to keep her mind off of the humans. In a way she grew fond of Ray and the others, and she was worried about how much trouble they would get into if left unattended. As she bucked a tree she caught sight of a human sitting in one of the trees. When her hooves planted on the ground she walked over to the human.
“Huh? Who are ya?” Applejack asked.
“Neither a foe, nor an ally…at least not yet. The name is Ryan.” Ryan said.
“What’re ya doin’ up there?” Applejack asked. He snapped his fingers and appeared beside Applejack. This sudden use of magic startled her.
“Well I was admiring the view, it’s quite colorful here.” Ryan said.
“Does anypony know yer here?” Applejack asked.
“Nope. As a matter of fact none of my friends, except for Gavin and Ray, know I’m here.” Ryan said. He took Applejack’s hat placed it on his head then flew up a little bit. “My intentions are not very good if I must be frank. From what I gather from this world, you are a very honest pony.”
“How do ya know ‘bout that?” Applejack asked. Ryan poofed back down to Applejack and placed her hat back on her head then poofed up a book.
“I’ve done some light reading while I waited around for some stuff to be done.” Ryan said. He chucked the book and it exploded in the distance. “I know for a fact you love your family too.”
“Yeah, what’s it to ya?” Applejack asked.
“I want to make a proposition,” Ryan said.
“Ah really should git Princess Luna.” Applejack said.
“No, that won’t be necessary.” Ryan said.
“Why?” Applejack asked.
“Just listen to me.” Ryan said.
“Ah’m listenin’.” Applejack said.
“I would like for you to help me with a little thing.” Ryan said.
“Like what?” Applejack asked.
“I want you to help me take over Equestria.” Ryan proposed.
“What?” Applejack asked.
“I know this comes as a surprise to you, and you’ll probably say no then run off to get the other so you can figure out how to stop me, but let me say it won’t be that easy.” Ryan said. Applejack took a step back but Ryan restrained her with his magic. “I understand that you don’t want to help me. However if you don’t help me there shall be some dire consequences that may follow, like for instance your little sister is on the moon with her friend and my friend. You don’t want her to be trapped up there forever.”
“Git her back here.” Applejack growled.
“Or what? I have you restrained by magic.” Ryan said.
“Ah’ll…Ah’ll think of somethin’.” Applejack said. She struggled and Ryan smiled at her.
“Oh dear sweet Applejack, I promise I won’t harm her nor any member of your family.” Ryan said.
“Wait what?” Applejack asked.
“I won’t harm any of them, as long as you serve me.” Ryan said.
“Never. Ah would never help harm pony folk!” Applejack yelled.
“It’s not like I need your help. However I won’t harm your sister…she’s cute.” Ryan said. Applejack stopped struggling then looked at him. “However, you will become my pawn whether you like it or not.”
“You don’t mean.” Applejack said.
“I like you Applejack, you are hardworking and you are the least colorful out of all of your friends. I won’t harm your family but you are going to serve me, King Ryan.” Ryan said. He snapped his fingers and then just like when Discord put Applejack under his spell, Ryan put Applejack under his spell.
“Ah will serve you King Ryan.” Applejack said.
“For now, you shall await orders. Diverting the attention away from me and my intentions.” Ryan said.
“Yes my liege.” Applejack said.
“I’ll take care of your sister.” Ryan said.
“As long as nothin’ harms mah family, Ah shall follow ya to the end.” Applejack said.
“Good. I must be off.” Ryan said.
“Best of luck my liege.” Applejack said. As soon as Ryan snapped his fingers, he was gone then Applejack returned back to normal. “What jus’ happened?” She went back to work without any recollection of the conversation between her and the Mad King. The spell went dormant until her new master called upon her.
