The King's Reign Begins

"Seems you've discovered my little secret. Not only can I create your nightmares, but I can create your dreams too." said Nightmare Rarity as she gave the poor little dragon at her hooves a deadly glare, causing Spike to cower a bit in fear.

"But-but Rarity, I lo-lov-" Spike could force the words out of him as the queen of nightmares laughed as her shadow minions grabbed the young drake.

Oh, p-p-poor Spike, can't get the words out? Don't worry, it's too late for Rarity anyway, let alone your friends." said Nightmare Rarity as she smiled, knowing her plans were coming to fruition.

"I will never help you, ever! Throw me in a dungeon for a billion years, I don't care!" Spike yelled, only for Nightmare Rarity to give off a sinister grin.

"Help? What could a silly, deluded dragon possibly help me with? Besides...the nightmare has only begun!" said Nightmare Rarity as she looked Spike directly in the eye.

"And cut! Great job everyone, we'll continue later." said a director as Spike was released from the shadow creature's grip while the crew working on this special began talking. Nightmare Rarity wiped her forehead a bit before she sat down.

"That was great Spike, where did you learn to act so well?" asked the queen of nightmares, reverting to a now much nicer personality since they now had some free time from their roles.

"Ahh, you know, I picked up a thing or two." said Spike as he then saw his friends coming up.

"I think it as more then that Spike. You really did a good job." said Twilight to her #1 assistant, causing Spike to blush a bit.

"I still think I should have been the hero in this thing." said Dash, obviously jealous of Spike getting a bigger role then her.

"Do Ah sense some jealousy Dash?" Applejack asked. Dash just rolled her eyes at this.

"Hehe...oh, wait a minute! I just remembered something!" said Spike as he got up and started to make his way towards the door as Twilight called out to him.

"Spike, where are you going?!" asked Twilight and Spike stopped at the door and looked back at the 6 confused ponies.

"You'll see. Just come with me when I come back." said Spike as he left the room. As the ponies wondered what he was going on about, Spike entered another room filled with a bunch of TV's and other stuff and in it was a young man.

"Hey Tyler, you got that game set up yet?" asked Spike to the man, who's name was revealed to be Tyler, who looked at Spike with a smile.

"Hey there Spike, and yep, it's ready. Got their permission and once you get those ponies to agree to this, we'll start." said Tyler. Spike gave him a thumbs up before leaving to get his friends as Tyler turned to his TV, which had on the screen the infamous game known to many others as 'Minecraft.'

Soon, Spike lead the ponies into the room, where Tyler introduced himself to them as well as the game, inviting them to play it with him for a special reason. And since the six of them had nothing else to do, they agreed. They got into the game and got used to the special controllers made for them before they all made their way to what appeared to be a throne room out in the open with a lava pit near the back of the room.

"Alright then everypony, welcome to something I like to call King Tyler. Now I know what you're all thinking, how do you play this game? Well if you notice near the entrance, their are 6 obsidian blocks, each one for one of you. And you're goal in this game is to erect something called the Tower of Pimps." said Tyler.

"Ooh, ooh, is it that tower on top of the throne!" asked Pinkie.

"Very observant Pinkie. Yes, that is the Tower of Pimps. It is a tower made out of 4 gold blocks with obsidian as the base. Now in order to get a gold block, you must complete a special task I give all of you and the first one to do so will earn a piece of the tower. And the first one to get all 4 gold blocks put on their tower will win."

"Oh my, I hope the tasks aren't too hard." said Fluttershy as she fed a chicken that had entered the throne with some seeds in her inventory.

"They could be easy, but they could be hard. But the rules aren't as simple as you think. You see, I'm a completionists and I like to see everyone complete their objectives. So their will be times where everyone has to complete the task given and the last pony to do so will get a penalty. Notice how you all have a second obsidian block. Well it's for something called the Negatower. What's this Negatower you might ask? Well I have in my possession something called a Nether Quartz block and if you get the penalty, then you're penalty is that you must place a Nether Quartz block on the other piece of obsidian and if you get 4 up...you're out of the game." said Tyler. The ponies grew a little worried since it could mean anyone of them could be knocked out as early as 4 rounds into the game.

"Now that I've explained the rules...oh wait, there's one more thing I forgot to say! And that's...hang on. I need to do something." said Tyler as he switched to a diamond sword and went to the entrance and hit something with it and the ponies swore they heard an 'ow' with a British accent over their Kinect speakers. Tyler then walked back to the throne.

"Sorry about that. Anyway, for this game, you 6 will not be alone. You will all be in teams that I have assigned to you." said Tyler.

"Teams? Are we all going to be teaming with each other?" said Nightmare as she looked at Applejack, knowing how honest she was and knowing she could trust her while Dash gave a wink to Fluttershy and Pinkie smiled towards Twilight.

"Well not with each other. You see, I've gotten 6 other Minecraft players to join us here today. And now all me to introduce-"Tyler never finished his sentence as someone with a Creeper skin suddenly rushed right into the room.

"WHAT'S UP BITCHES!" suddenly screamed the new player, startling the ponies.

"God dammit Gavin!" yelled Tyler as he approached the new player and hit him a couple of times with the sword as the message box suddenly said this:

GavinoFree was killed by AzelfSoldier17

"What the hay was that?" asked a confused Rainbow Dash as laughter was heard from the speakers. Tyler facepalmed before getting back on the throne.

"Ponies, I would like for you to meet Gavin Free as well as Geoff Ramsey, Jack Patillo, Ryan Haywood, Michael Jones, and Ray Narvaez Jr.! I present to you your teammates, the Achivement Hunters!" yelled Tyler as the ponies had no idea what they were in for.

Team Breakdown

"Alright, now that Gavin is back, I can get to what the teams will be." said Tyler as the ponies, while they were waiting for Gavin, got acquainted with the lads and gents. Applejack felt a little honored when Ray said he was his favorite pony while Fluttershy was a little embarrassed when Michael told her she was his favorite. Rainbow Dash, on the other hand, already got into a fight with Geoff, the two of them trying to push each other into the lava pit several times. And the others...they got along alright.

"Now then, does everyone know the rules?" asked Tyler.

"Yes my king." said Geoff, already trying to butter up to the king.

"Geoff, get down from there!" said Michael as he punched his boss of the throne.

"Hey, wait a second, shouldn't I be the king since I won King Gavin?' asked Ryan.

"Well Ryan, this is my game and I am the king, so you can wait your turn!" said Tyler, giving Ryan a smack with the sword as the Mad King backed away.

"Alright then, now for the first team. The first team will be our lovely queen of nightmares, Nightmare Rarity, and her partner, the one and only Mr. Gavin Free, Team Night Boom!" said Tyler.

"What, why do I have to team with her?!" asked Gavin.

"Because Gavin, she's a lovely queen that rules a kingdom on the moon with incredible powers and you...well, you're an idiot and I decided to put you two together to even things out." said Tyler, getting laughter from everyone else as Nightmare Rarity looked at her teammate.

"Gavin, you better not mess this up for us! I want that golden tower for my castle." said Nightmare, reverting to the personality she had during the special she was in with Spike not to long ago.

"Alright then, next team. We have the our magical student of Celestia herself, Twilight Sparkle, and her team mate, the Mad King, Ryan Haywood! Team Smart Lunatics!" said Tyler as the two new teammates looked at each other.

"Just one question. Why are you called the Mad King?" asked Twilight.

"Twilight, don't ask him that! It's like asking him what kind of music his child listens to." said Michael as Ryan laughed a bit.

"I'll tell you why he's the Mad King. Edgar." said Ray, leaving the ponies wondering who Edgar was.

"Oh don't worry, I've a feeling you'll all meet him soon enough." said Ryan.

"Alright then, you creepy ass mofo. Anyway, the next team, since they seem to get along so well, Rainbow Dash and Geoff Ramsey! Team Ego!" said Tyler.

"What!? Why do I have to team with the fucking Lucky Charms pony?!" asked Geoff.

"Who are you calling a...whatever you called me!?" asked Dash, the two of them getting into another fight.

"You two are going to work so well. Next is Team Apples and Roses, Applejack and her partner, the Puerto Rican, Ray Narvaez Jr.!" said Tyler.

"Alright, now we're talking! Don't you worry Applejack, I'll do my best!" said Ray, ecstatic to be teaming with his favorite pony.

"Ah hope so partner, don't wanna pull all the weight in this thing." Applejack responded.

"Next is Team Party Beard, Pinkie Pie and Jack Patillo!" Tyler announced.

"Woohoo, go Party Beard!" Jack said, feigning excitement though this went unnoticed by Pinkie, who mistook it for real excitement.

"I know right, we should party to celebrate our new team!" Pinkie said.

"That can wait Pinkie. And finally, we have team Mad Rage, Fluttershy and Michael Jones!" Tyler announced.

"Aww yeah, don't worry Fluttershy, I'll keep you safe from all these weirdos I work with, though I think you can take Gavin, he's a wuss." Michael said which got more laughter from the group.

"Ummm, o-okay...if you say so..." Fluttershy squeaked out.

"Now then, you all know the rules, but for Gavin's sake, I'll tell you all what they are again. Your goal is to be the first team to complete a task for and by doing so, you get a piece of the Tower of Pimps. There will be times where you may do something that I disagree with and if one of those times come, then the team that does not please me will get a piece of the Negatower. If you get four pieces of the Negatower, your team is out of the competition. First team to fully erect the Tower of Pimps or last team standing at the end of this thing will receive the coveted Tower of Pimps! We all good now?" Tyler asked.

"Got ya, did you get all that Gavin?" Michael asked.

"He better have dear, I don't want to delay this any longer." Rarity said.

"I'm not speaking them again, so Gavin better remember them. Anyway, to begin this thing, we just need one thing. Ray?" Tyler said as he and everyone else looked at Ray.

"What?" Ray asked.

"You know what Ray." Jack said.

"...So this is is a Let's Play." Ray jokingly said.

"God dang it Ray, you know what we're all waiting for." Tyler said.

"Oh, ahem....LLLLLLLLLLLLET'S PLAY!!!" Ray yelled out loud, signalling the start of the competition for the Tower of Pimps.
