Indistinguishable talking in background. A stadium is revealed, packed full to twice its capacity.
Ponies are barely able to move a few centimeters before colliding with somepony else.
The pegasi having to accommodate the over ten million ponies in attendance, construct platforms made from heavily compacted clouds. Surrounding the stadium in the shape of a cone large enough to cover the streets in total darkness. Reporters, camera ponies, and broadcast companies of all kinds.
This is channel 9.2, Station 101.3, ect…. and we’re live here at the Diamond Peaks stadium here in Las Pegasus. Right now the stadium is overflowing ponies. Currently the weather pegasi have shifted their focus to building temporary seating to accommodate the large influx of ponies.
And the scene is enormous. The weather ponies using the clouds to create space for the audience of ten million ponies. Condensing the clouds to support the weight of an Earth pony.
And we just got word that the opening ceremony will begin in 15 minutes as soon as everypony can get to a seat. I’m surprised things are running smoothly enough to announce them starting 1 hour earlier than scheduled. For those just joining. We will be bringing you live coverage, footage, and interviews. And there has been info about a special guest said to appear today at the event.
So stay tooned... It’s starting now!
The stadium was in an uproar with screaming fans. The sky, quickly becoming blocked by a giant aerial craft. Square, grey panels of metal seem to comprise the exterior of the vessel. Four letters can be seen on one of the sides of the ship. Three other spaceship appear from the North, East, and West of the stadium. With a rounded shape to it and displaying a fluorescent shade of purple. They seem to be heading towards the lone craft. With amazing speed and precision, the single ship charges and fires an enormous beam that rips right through the craft in the middle of the three. The remaining pair soon start taking aim, and charge up their cannons. But mere seconds later, two backup carriers of the lone ship appear out of portals. All similar in design. The only difference. One adorns the color red, And the other blue. Not seconds pass before the backup ships fire their powerful artillery. Obliterating the enemy from sight. And as things seemed to arrive to a conclusion for the spectacle. A surprise enemy transport craft appears in the middle of the stadium. And as quickly as it appeared, it’s destroyed by a falling object from space. Impacting it and ripping through to the stage below. The force from the object, shaking the land. Almost launching spectators from their seats.
And as things start to settle. A soldier pony can be seen from the impact site. Wearing segmented armor, covering every single millimeter of her body. But she was a little different than most ponies. An Alicorn. For she had both wings and a horn. From the right of the alicorn soldier forms a portal. With particles of a low resolution style. Reminiscent of old 8bit graphics. From it, emerges a unicorn colt. With fur the color of gunmetal grey. And a flowing mane and tail that shifts through the visible spectrum. With the same 8bit style particles emanating from them.
A colt with a body structure of a mare. His name is Double Digital.
And now appearing to a crowd of millions of screaming ponies, who just had their own minds blown. It was a sight to see. He levitates a microphone near his mouth. And looks at the alicorn solder.
Looks like you guys need help recruiting troops if they need you to start saving their plots.
Well, lucky for you we have a amazing selection of warriors willing to fight. And it looks like you’ll have an audience as part of your recruiting. So let me be the first to say to everypony.
Welcome to the 30th anniversary of, (the alicorn removing her helmet, overpowering the host)
PONY LEAGUE GAMING!
An explosive roar of cheering erupts from the audience. Becoming slightly deafening.
The reporter ponies speaking into their mics.
Are my eyes deceiving me? It seems that our special guest is none other than Princess Luna herself. This could be the most interesting year for PLG.
The focus then returns to the center of the stadium. The audience settling down, the host then continues.
Thank You all for attending. This will truly be an amazing year for PLG. For not only did we reach a total of 10 million audience members. But we also have a roster of 5 million teams registered. And the top Ten teams will have a chance to win the opportunity to design a game with Princess Luna herself. In cooperation with Neightendo, Maresoft, and Pony computer entertainment.
The other prizes include: 50k scholarship to the members of the teams who make it to the top ten, to the school of their choosing. 5k in cash in the top 50. And special memorabilia for those who participated in this year's competition.And a special thanks to Princess Luna for the amazing involvement in all this.
Prithee, that is not behoveful. 'tis a great honor to helpeth in any way. though i did not expecteth to crash through a transport carrier. But I'm fain to be part of the plg team. And i'm looking forward to the up coming events.
It’s amazing to have Three major companies working together like this.
What was the idea behind planning this co-op project?
‘Tis a question for another day. But I do plan to explain in do time.
Looks like the that question is on the loading screen for the time being. But we got a few thing to hold you over for now. Neightendo, Maresoft, And Pony have set up game booths near the stadium for all those who came today. Hope to see everypony next week for the tutorials and interview chat with the companies behind the project.
