//-------------------------------------------------------// Wayward Quest -by Lostgear17- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Welcome to the game //-------------------------------------------------------// Welcome to the game Nightshade was your typical online gamer girl with a creamy light grey skin tone complexion, long black hair, and a tall slender yet perfect body. she would work on her assignments and study in the library all day without the desire of making friends due to her thinking it would be a waste of her time and quite frankly she wasn't interested even when the Mane 6 and even Sunset shimmer tried being friends with her but she would just walk away or simply ignore them. She typically wore her usual black lingerie nightgown underneath a professional white button down coat that did very little to stop her buxom double D-sized breast cups from bouncing at the slightest movement, a long black skirt that hugged her curvaceous bubble butt, and a pair of black high heel boots. She had a natural disinterested expression on her face only to truly get excited to go home to stare at a computer screen for hours on end wearing nothing but her grey hoodie sweater and black laced panties. But after years of gaming she had finally finished every big named mainstream MMO game this generation had to offer and was now yearning for a brand new challenge, one late night while web surfing for something new to play she received an anonymous email. Upon clicking it brought her to an chatroom with an unknown host. "Hello Nikki. Yes, we know who you are and we know what you seek. And what you seek... is a new challenge. Correct?" "Yeah, what do you have in mind?" "I have a game. Care to play?" "What kind of game?" "A very interesting...game, a very rewarding...game. Your kind of game?" Nightshade thought about it for a moment, an excited grin appeared on her face. "Count me in. When does it start?" "Midnight. Be ready." Nightshade turned to look at the clock, she only had a half hour to get ready. She ran into her kitchen pantry and pulled out her secret stash of flavored chips, sugary sweets, and sodas creating a wide spread of snacks on her desk. She then armed herself with a whole case of five-hour-energy bottles and caffeine patches, she was ready for what this game had to offer. Another message was emailed to her, clicking it opened a window displaying a timer showing only a minute was left. "I wonder what kind of game this is gonna be. I hope it's another MMO, hopefully a first person shooter. I would really like to pwn some noobs tonight." The timer struck zero...then the screen went black. "Aw great, not another power outage. Just great." She sighed as she clicked the power button on her computer several times. Suddenly a single red dot appeared on the screen followed by the words 'Don't blink', a single blinding flash came from the screen and Nightshade was knocked out cold. When she finally awoke she found herself laying in the middle of a grassy field as a gentle breeze blew through her hair. Instead of her hoodie jacket and panties she was wearing an iron breast plate, a half metal skirt partially showing her black and pink striped panties, and metal boots. She now had short wild blue hair and was equipped with a short knife strapped to her inner thigh. "Whoa, must be some kind of virtual reality game. This is totally epic." She said as she looked at herself. "Hail there traveler!" A new voice called from behind her. She turned around to see what appeared to be a knight riding on the back of what appears to be a giant dog creature that was speeding towards her before skidding to a stop. Nightshade held her hands up not knowing what was going on here, the knight dismounted and approached her standing at least a foot taller than her. "D-Did I do something wrong Sir?" She asked nervously. "Sir?" The knight asked in a confused tone before removing the metal helmet. What struck her as odd was that the knight turned out to be a girl with long blonde hair and a light tan skin er....coat, it was none other than the earth pony Applejack. She looked at Nightshade with an unamused expression. "S-Sorry I didn't mean to call you a man. I didn't know that you were a-a...what are you exactly?" Nightshade thoughts were cut short as the earth pony laughed loudly. "Y'all are new around these parts I take it?" Nightshade's face grew red in embarrassment, she took her pride as always being called the most experienced player in a game seriously. "N-No! I'm...a...level 30! At least!" Applejack snickered a bit. "What?" She pointed at something floating above Nightshade's head, 'Lvl 1' was displayed broadly above her. Her face grew redder in sheer embarrassment. "It's alright, ya new around here. Nothin' wrong wit that. We all been there." "Yeah, hey speaking of which I never got the name of this game." "Ya pulling my leg or somthin'? How could ya sign up for something' ya know nothin' about?" "Okay, Would you mind telling me then?" "Wayward Quest! A game where one is free to shape their own fate and create their own destinies while fighting for glory and bounties worth of endless treasure more than enough to satisfy 10 kings lust for fortune!" Applejack said in a noble voice unlike her usual self. Nightshade stood there confused, did she just loose her southern accent for a second or is there a rule on how you're supposed to say it? "Nice speech, what is that their slogan or something?" "Might be. Allow me to introduce mahself. Name's Applejack, Lvl 40 forest knight. Nice to meet ya." She said extending her hand for her to shake. "Hi, my name's Nightshade. Lvl 1, uh human I guess." Applejack let out another hearty laugh. "What?" "Nah anymore you're not. Take a look for yourself." Applejack pointed over to a nearby lake, Nightshade looked inside to see her reflection. She gasped once she noticed what the earth pony was implying. Her smooth skin was covered in a smooth dark grey coat, her ears were longer and furrier, and she had a light blue tail poking out of her metal half-skirt. "What happened to me!?!" "Relax will ya? There's no need to get all riled up over it. Everypony looks like you so don't worry." "Every...pony?" "I'll explain later, right now we better head over to town before it gets dark." "What for?" "Let's just say when the moon is out you best not be, things around here get out of hand pretty fast if ya ask me so we better get going while we still can." Applejack said as she got back on top of her dog mount and extended her hand for Nightshade to grab. Applejack called out and the giant dog broke into a fast paced sprint racing through the vast grassy field, in a matter of moments the sun began to set over the horizon in the distance. A collection of pierced red eyes could be seen hiding amongst the forest trees as unknown predators watched the two girls as they rode away, but that didn't stop them from wanting to hunt. Several wolf like creatures with black coats that matched the darkness around them and piercing red eyes that greatly aided their night hunts began to give chase to the two and was slowly catching up to them. "Shadowterrors! Lvl 3! Nightshade! Ya gotta watch our back while I get us out of here!" Applejack called over her shoulder. Nightshade pulled out her small knife from her inner thigh strap and skillfully stabbed the closet one in it's neck causing a stream of black liquid to spray from its open wound, the wolf fell to the ground with a snarling death rattle as the rest continued the chase. "They're still coming! What do we do?!?" The Shadowterrors snarled aloud as they tried grabbing and biting the dog's hind legs as the chase continued, Applejack then reached into her saddlebag and pulled out a yellow and green stripped apple. Biting the stem off the apple released a green smoke and she quickly threw it over her shoulder. The apple went off in a fiery explosion instantly killing off the ravenous horde, both Applejack and Nightshade cheered in victory as +40 points appeared above both their heads. Immediately the words level up was displayed over the new comer's head as she grew an inch taller and her hair grew a bit longer. "Nice job Nightshade! Where did y'all learn how to hold your own like that?" "I dunno. Years of playing Assassin's creed I guess?" Applejack laughed again. After a long journey through the endless fields they finally reached town which was no more then a medieval stone village, Nightshade was amazed at the incredible amounts of details the developers put into the game. There was so many characters programmed to look like squires, thieves, salesmen, and maidens it was difficult to tell who was actually players and who were just normal NPCs. Applejack guided her giant dog mount to the outside of the village pub, she quickly tied the reins around a wooden stake in the ground and feed the dog a couple of apples before leading Nightshade inside. The inside of the place was loud and chaotic as lively accordion music played while barbaric stallion thugs and mercenaries smashed wooden stools against each other for fun. Near the front bar counter was a group of female warriors that perfectly resembled the Mane 6 waved at the two calling them over to their table. The lavender coated unicorn mare named Twilight wore a purple shroud robe cloak and mini skirt while carrying a long wooden staff marking her as the sage and leader of the group. The marshmallow white unicorn named Rarity wore a frilly purple and pink shroud dress and carried a small wand making her the lower level but still powerful mage. The baby blue coated Pegasus famously known as Rainbowdash wore a torn white T-shirt revealing her black laced bra and tight fitting black shorts, she carried twin daggers on both sides of her leather belt while her mane and tail was messy and unkempt making her the thief warrior class of the group. The sunny yellow pegasus hiding behind a tall pitcher of milk was Fluttershy, she wore an elegant green hoodie cloak and carried a wooden bow and arrow making her a skilled yet cowardly archer. Last but not least was the peppy pink pony named Pinkie who wore a frilly minstrel outfit and carried a large brown satchel filled an array of musical instruments. They welcomed Applejack and her new friend as the brown earth pony told of their encounter with the dreaded shadowterrors and how much of a promising fighter Nightshade is. "I don't know newbie, I don't think you have what it takes to join our clan just yet." Rainbowdash said as she leaned back in her chair. "Come on now Rainbowdash, at least let her prove herself before we make a decision." Rarity said. "Hmph, fine. She can have some of my side quests. I wasn't gonna do 'em anyway." Rainbowdash pulled a scroll from her satchel and handed it over to Nightshade, it was a low level quest to help a farmer north of town with a reward of 100 gold coins. She happily accepted the quest and borrowed Applejack's giant dog mount to get there quicker, she soon found the farm and quickly spotted the farmer standing in the field. The farmer was a dark red stallion with arms the size of tree trunks and the height of a giant, he smiled broadly when he saw Nightshade enter the field (possibly because of her attire). "Hello, you must be the farmer who posted this quest." "Eeeeyup. The name's MacIntosh and my cattle has been popping up missing over the last couple of days and I can't work with no cattle. Mind helping me get to the bottom of this?" "Sure thing, uncovered any leads so far?" "None sadly, they've gone without a trace see?" "Hmmm...then what we need here is a trap.Do you have any cattle left?" "Just one left, she's in the barn." Nightshade followed MacIntosh up the barn house, upon opening the large barn doors a quick blur of black and white jumped out and tackled Nightshade to the ground. "Wh-what?" She said in surprise once she realized what was sitting on top of her. It was a large humanoid figure with creamy white skin and black spots. It had long flowing blonde hair, a large set of breasts the size of overgrown watermelons, a large bubble butt rear, and a long slim tail whipping wildly around in the air. A monster cow girl. Nightshade simply blinked in surprise of the bizarre encounter as the cow girl was playfully nuzzling against her cheek. "Alright Bessie, get up off her now. You'll play later ya hear?" The farmer chuckled. The cow girl quickly got off Nightshade and rushed to the farmer's side, she cooed sweetly as he patted her on the head. "Oh I get it, she's cattle." "It wasn't obvious?" __________________________________________________________________________________________ Nightshade and MacIntosh ventured along a jagged path leading into the denser part of the forest where he used to take his cattle for grazing until they started to disappear. Upon entering a forest clearing they discovered who was behind the disappearings, a group of fat eyeless grey orc men were keeping the other cowgirls tied up against several trees as they mercilessly sucked on their oversized breasts. The warm, sweet creamy milk was coursing through their veins and it's special nutrients made them slowly grow bulging muscles all over their bodies. "Orcs, level 7 I reckon. This may not be your fight Nightshade." MacIntosh cautioned. "I don't care, lets get 'em!" She yelled as she charged towards them. One of the orcs immediately took notice and drew it's long iron blade to combat her, the creature swung the sword barely missing her as she ducked at the last second before she buried her knife into the orc's stomach causing it to cry out in pain before falling to the ground with purple blood staining the grass. The other orcs finally took notice and started to charge towards her, Nightshade quickly dislodged the blade from the dead orc's hand just in time to deflect another swing. One grabbed her from behind but was muscled to the ground by MacIntosh allowing her to continue fighting. One by one the orcs fell by her hand and she felt like she could rule the world but the feeling was short lived as a ear shattering roar echoed from deep within the forest, Nightshade gasped as a giant orc far bigger and stronger than the lesser orcs drew near crushing down several trees in his path. "What foolish warrior dares disturb my camp!?!" The giant bellowed. "The same one that's gonna cut you a new asshole!" Nightshade yelled back. The giant showed a great distaste at her comment by slamming his giant club against the ground knocking Nightshade down on her ass. The orc brought his foot up high with the intention to crush her like a bug if she hadn't barrel rolled out of the way, she grabbed her sword and used it to climb up the orc's left leg like he was a tree. "Get off me you worm!" The orc yelled as he thrashed his leg around wildly. This only made her quicken her pace as she climbed up his wool coat and positioned herself at the base of his throat. "Yield giant, or I will slice your throat to shreds!" "Like your little blade could hurt me." The giant said as he laughed aloud. Seeing this as an opportunity she aimed the weapon at his mouth. "Careful, you might choke on something!" She yelled as she threw the blade into the laughing orc's mouth. The giant began to cough up drops of blood proof that the blade was lodged in his throat, the orc's head slowly turned a deep bluish purple before losing consciousness and falling towards the ground with a thunderous thud. "Nightshade? Nightshade!" MacIntosh called out as he feared the worst. He was relieved to see her sliding down the giant's side feeling victorious, a broad +1,000 was displayed over her head as she jumped from lvl 2 to lvl 5 and the effects began rather immediately. Her hair grew longer as her grew several inches until she was eye level with Manny. Next her breasts grew two cup sizes nearly bursting through her lvl 1 breast plate, the gap between her legs disappeared as her thighs grew thicker, and her ass was now straining against her metal skirt. MacIntosh's jaw dropped at the stunning sight as Nightshade blushed heavily. TO BE CONTINUED........
