“See you colts and fillies on the other side, this is Dragon Eye, signing off.” A red unicorn stallion said as he hit off on his recording software. He was setting his video to upload. He trotted down stairs to his brother Zed Stick, was pulling off a combo in Ponysona 4 Arena Ultimax, he was playing as a skinny, tall unicorn with a revolver, as he was beating up a grey colt with a sword. He pulled off a button combo that Dragon didn't think he could do, ever. He jumped on to the couch and sat down. “Yo Zed.” He said as Zed pulled off his insta-kill.
“YES!” Zed shouted as the screen read Victory. He looked over to Dragon. “Yo bro, what’s up?”
“Nothing much, you, also want to play Rock Band 3, Equestrian Rhapsody, like allways?”
“I don’t see why no-” they both blacked out as he said that.

Back in Carousel Boutique Sweetie Bell was just kinda moping around. Her sister had been missing for a week, she went out for a mission a week ago, she never came back. Calm down, she will be fine, I know it. I hope. She went over to her friends house, she knocked on his door. He opened the door. “Hi Button, so I was thinking… we go out, do whatever we can to find them.”
“Uh… hi Sweetie, one, want to play video games, two... No? I’m sorry.” he said. He felt guilty, he wanted to help her, but he also did not want to get hurt.
Her face dropped, “Ok Button, I understand.” she said bleakly. Why won't he help me, I need help. She said nothing else, and just trotted away. If he won’t help me, I will need to find her myself, nopony is going to help me. She was back at the Boutique, crying. She heard a quiet and raspy, but threatening voice.
“You want to find your sister, don’t you,” The voice said.
“H-How do you know about Rarity, and who are you ?” she asked.
“Me and her, had a few, let's say, interactions in the past,” the voice said.
“Take me you know where she is ?” she asked.
“Yes, I will take you there,” it said as Sweetie blacked out.
Back at Button’s house he was feeling guilt. Maybe I could of helped her. He thought about what he could of done to help her. That's it, he was going to help her.
“Mom, I am going to Sweetie’s house!” Button yelled. He walked out the door as he galoped to Sweetie’s house. He knocked on her door. No answer. “Sweetie, open up!” no answer.
A voice spoke up, “I think I might know where she is.” it said.
“Where is she,” Button said looking for the source of the voice.
“She is with me,” the voice spoke up.
“Take me to her, now,” he then blacked out.
*One week ago*
Dear Twilight,
I am writing to inform you that we are experiencing trouble in the badlands, we where wondering if you and your friends could check it out.
Sincerely,
Princess Celestia
“Alright, so what are we going to about this, I say we go right in and attack this thing at it’s source,” A blue mare said. They were at Twilight’s castle discussing what to do
The purple alicorn looked panicked. “Look Rainbow Dash, what we need to do is go, and then figure out what to do, sound like a plan?” she asked the groupe
“Ok Twilight, sounds like a plan,” Applejack said.
After they got there, they were looking for the source of the problem. They saw a fiery red glow, as Twilight yelled, they all blacked out.
*Currently*
Dragon and Zed woke up in a cave. “Oh my celestia, are you two alright,” a colt asked.
“I-I think so, who are you ?” Dragon asked.
“My name is Button Mash, your Dragon Eye, right ?” Button asked.
“Yes, you're a fan?” he asked
“Yep, happy to meet you,” Button responded.
Dragon stood up, helping up Zed. “Thanks kid, look, do you know where in Tartarus we are?”
The voice spoke up again “Precisely” They all turned around seeing a red centaur in a cage, “Welcome to Tartarus,” he said.
Zed looked towards Dragon and said “Well, crap.”
“Dude, foals are here.” he responded
“Well one, one of them watches your vids, two, we are literally in Tartarus.”
“Point.”
“So Triek, why did you take us here?” Dragon asked.
“Well I didn't bring you here, they did.” Triek said, audibly adding a subtle grin esque sound to his voice.
“Yes but… wait, what?” Zed said in confusion.
“Well he told us we could bring two ponies to help us, after hearing what the changes were based off of, we-”
Button was cut off by Sweetie, “You.”
“-I thought the best ponies for the job where you two.” Button said with a hint of guilt in his voice.
“Alright, I would feel honored by that if I had any clue on what these challenges are.” Zed said to Button before projecting his voice to Tirek “So what are these challenges?”
“Video Games.” he said with a devilish grin.
“YES!” Zed shouted in excitement.
“Hold on Zed, can I talk to you a bit?” Dragon said as he and his brother walked over away from the foals, “We could die during these, I we have no clue what these games will be, celestia forbid we get Super Hay Colt. Ok, I don’t want to die, I have a life ahead of me, I need to get out of here alive.”
“Well, because we were brought here don’t you think we are getting her to… well… ESCAPE!”
“Well, haven’t you been following the news, The Friendship council is gone. We are in Tartarus, where one of their defeated foes is. One of their sisters are here. Do I need to fill in the blanks for you.” Dragon said, half yelling.
“Look, you want to get out of here, then we are fighting through this, ok, ok” Zed retorted
They troted back to the foals and Terik. “Ok Terik, we accept your challenge, what is the first game?” Dragon said with a dry tone.
“A little game called Ponysona.” Terik said
