Twilight stared at the small black rectangle that lay on the floor of Surgercube Corner. Several other ponies that had been having lunch at the baker, including Fluttershy and Rarity had seen the object just appear in mid-air and drop to the floor with a thud.

Twilight had been in the middle of talking to her friends about having a picnic the next day as they hadn’t had a chance to really do anything together do to them all being busy the past week, Twilight with her studies, Fluttershy with her animals. Applejack with the farm while Rarity had a huge order of dresses to fil and Pinkie had been busy filling in for Mr. Cake who was in Canterlot to pick up much needed ingredients the bakery was running low on. Rainbow dash had been dealing with three sick members of the whether team sow as pulling double shifts along with everypony else. Today had been the first time either of them had a few minutes to be able to grab a quick lunch together and that had been interrupted by the strange object appearing from no were.

Everypony one in the bakery was staring silently at the object that had interrupted a peaceful day. Slowly Twilight pushed herself away from the table and started to walk up to the odd rectangle. “Darling are you sure that’s a good idea?” Rarity asked from her seat as she watched her purple friend

“Well it doesn’t seem to be doing anything so I’m sure it’s safe.” Twilight said. “It looks like some sort of stone.” As Twilight neared the black “stone” her theory was quickly dashed as the part that was face up turned on and glowed with a light of its own causing the unicorn to jump back. When she jumped back the object became inert again.

Blinking a few times and with her curiosity doubled now the purple mare stepped forward again. As before the object lite up but this time Twilight was ready for it so did not jump away. She got closes enough to see what the light was. It appeared to be some sort of screen that had head shot of Twilight herself staring out with a neutral expression standing in front of a white back ground with black horizontal bars.

Twilight very carefully picked up the object in her magi and took a closer look. As she brought it close to her words appeared on the screen.

Would you like to join?
Yes No

Blinking several times Twilight looked back at her friends who were all looking at it and her curiously. Looking back at the object Twilight gently pushed “YES” with a hoof. The words vanished and a spinning gray circle too their place. Blinking Twilight looked back at her friends; she opened her mouth to speak when the bakery, her friends and everything vanished. Her view was filled with Ponyville from above jumping away from her in several flashes, the entire time the spinning grey circle in the corner of her vision.

Twilight tried to move, to yell for help, reach for her magic, to do anything! But she couldn’t, she was comply immobilized and could only watched as she suddenly zoomed away from Ponyville, over the fields outside of town and then her view was blocked by heavy cloud cover.

The clouds were only there for a short time before she saw tall buildings jutting from the clouds and her movement stopped. Twilight wondered what was going to happen next when she saw the same series of flashes as before but this time she was going down with each flash. Down through the clouds she saw a city street with odd carriages on the street and weird creatures on the side walk. She zoomed down to the side walk and when she blinked she found herself mid-step on the sidewalk as if she had been walking down it.

Twilight blinked several times before slowly looking at her surroundings. The first thing she noticed were the creatures walking around her, paying her no real mind. The creatures were bipedal, no fur except on top of their heads and wore varying styles of clothing and were much taller than her. They kind of looked like hairless apes to the confused unicorn.

Cautiously Twilight approached one of the creatures that seemed to be speaking into the same type of black rectangle that had appeared in Surgercube Corner. “Um…excuse me, can you help me?”

The creature looked at her with annoyance. “Can’t you see I’m busy? Freaking tourists.” The creature said in a voice that was clearly male before going back to his conversation with the rectangle. “Huh? No not you, just some lost tourist, don’t worry about it dear.” The creature walked on leaving a confused Twilight behind.

The creature didn’t seem to care that Twilight didn’t look like the rest of them and only cared that she had interrupted his conversation. His attitude reminded her of some of the times she had visited Manehatten.

Twilight jumped when she heard what sounded like a distant explosion and a few second alter what sounded like a siren wailing. She looked towards it as did some of the other creatures as the siren got closer and closer. Suddenly one of the self-propelled carriages skidded around the corner and Twilight blinked as it was going much faster than the other carriages on the road. Twilight watched as two black and white carriages skidded around the corner with flashing red and blue lights on top and from what she could tell the siren was coming from them.

Twilight jumped again as several bangs came from the speeding carriage and she saw sparks fly off the front of the black and white carriages and the front window crack as something struck it. This loud noise seemed to have frightened the bipedal creatures as they all started to scream and run away from the street and the other carriages on the road began to move out of the way as fast as they could. And then just as suddenly as they appeared the carriages sped past and were gone and Twilight stood alone on the side walk.

Blinking and looking around at the empty sidewalk and street she wasn’t sure what to do or what was going on anymore. Her best chance would be getting some help but if this place was like Manehatten then that could be difficult. She began to walk down the side walked and stopped as something brushed her fur, looking back at herself she saw she was wearing some sort of black jacket with a hood, when did that get on her?

Deciding to investigate the jacket she sat on her haunches and began to go through the pockets. She slipped a hoof into the left pocket and felt a metallic object and when she pulled it out she was holding a silver L shaped object, tilting it several directions she couldn’t figure out what it was or what it was for so she put it back in her pocket and moved onto the other one.

As she felt around in the other pocket her hoof brushed something small and upon pulling it out she saw it was the black rectangle that had brought her here. Glaring with annoyance at the object she saw the screen was on and showed a bunch of small icons. Cocking an eye brow at the icons she clicked one that said MAP, least she could get an idea of where she was.

The icon expanded to show a small square of an area with a flashing arrow in the middle of it and a plus and minus symbol on the side. Blinking once more, she seemed to be doing that a lot since this all began, she looked at the crisscrossing streets around the arrow. After a bit of investigating by simply turning to face other direction and the arrow moving to match she figured out the arrow represented her, somehow the map could know exactly where she was and where she was facing so that would make navigating easier.

She tapped the minus symbol and the map zoomed out a bit, after a few more tap she could see the entirety of what she assumed was the city she was in. The first thing that caught her eye was the name in the corner of the expanded map. “Where the heck is Los Santos?” She said to herself. The second thing to catch her attention was that there were several White Dots on the map and one Dark Red Dot with a number two on it that looked like it was heading towards her with a White Dot coming from another direction. Both dots were approaching fast from side streets and Twilight wasn’t sure what to do.

On one hoof she had no clue what the dots meant, on the other hoof dark red didn’t exactly say friendly though for all she knew white didn’t either. Though with how fast they were approaching her arrow she was about to find out.

The Red Dot arrived first; one of the self-propelled carriages skidded around the corner and came to a stop in the middle of the street. Now that it wasn’t moving Twilight could see two of the bipedal creatures sitting in it, one of which was behind some sort of wheel. The two bipeds stared at her for a bit and Twilight put on her friendliest smile and waved to them, at least these two seemed to acknowledge her existence.

The two bipeds blinked and then raised two metal objects and pointed them at her. Twilight had a distinct feeling something back was about the happen but before anything did happen another carriage slammed into the other one. Twilight dropped to the ground as she heard rabid bangs like when the other fleeing carriage had drove by and the window in the front of the first biped’s cars exploded in a shower of glass as their bodies jerked before slumping over.

The carriage that slammed into the first backed up and moved over to where Twilight laid on the ground. It was large and painted dark blue with a single white stripe going down the middle of it and dark window. “Get in quick before they come back.” A voice said from the carriage. Blinking Twilight could only stare at the carriage that spoke to her in a female voice. “Come on I’m not going to hurt you, heck I just saved your ass from getting wasted so come on before those PKs come back.”

Twilight nodded, she didn’t know what a PK was but getting wasted didn’t sound good. Somehow she knew to go around to the other side of the carriage and looking at the door she knew to use her magic to pull the handle. The door came open easily and inside behind another wheel biped behind the wheel , this one had black pulled back into a ponytail and was wearing a grey jacket, grey pants and boots, over the biped eyes were a pair silver reflective sunglasses and Twilight had the distinct impression it was a female based on the curves of the body.

Twilight quickly climbed in and pull the door shut behind her, she had just a moment to settler herself into the passenger seat before the female biped pushed the peddle to the floor and the carriage zoomed away. As they drove by an intersection Twilight saw another biped raise pink metal object and she yelped the back window exploded inward as she could heard things rabidly striking the outside of the car as the pink metal object spat out fire.

The biped behind the wheel jerked the wheel to the right and the carriage skidded onto a side street and they zoomed away. Twilight heart was threating to thunder out of her chest as the wind whipped through the destroyed windows of the carriage as they flew down the street at high speed, weaving between other slower carriages.

“Well that was fun.” The female chuckled as she took another sharp turn, putting as much distance as she can between them and the other bipeds.

“Fun? You call that fun? What the buck is going on!?” Twilight shouted back looking at the biped who didn’t look at the terrified unicorn in the passenger seat.

“Well yeah it’s fun screwing with PKs and saving their prey.” The female replied with a laugh.

“PKs? What’s a PK?” Twilight asked her curiosity defeating her fear.

“Player Killers, they are players who get a kick out of hunting down other players and killing them whether they want to play that way or not, a lot of them think its fun to take out level one noobs such as yourself.” The female replied.

Twilight blinked, those bipeds where there to kill her just because she was there and what was a Noob? And what did the biped mean she was level one? Before Twilight could ask the biped spoke again. “So I’m guessing you are way new to this game if you just stood there while a couple of Red Players came at you huh?”

“Um…yeah I just got here not long ago.” Twilight said and the biped nodded.

“Well lucky you then you ended up on the same server as me otherwise those assholes would have spent the next hour or so killing you over and over again.” She said. “You can call me Mar by the way.”

“Um...I’m Twilight Sparkle” Twilight said looking at Mar as she drove the carriage.

“Well nice to meet you Twilight, honestly I’m surprised that you’d hack a game you know nothing about.” Mar said.

“Hack? Game?” Twilight said dumbfounded.

“Yes it’s kinda obvious that’s a hacked character, purple unicorns aren’t exactly something you can get in character creation.” Mar said chuckling and Twilight open her mouth to ask what she was talking about but Mar continued on. “But hey if you want to be a unicorn then who am I to judge, as long as the hack is purely cosmetic and doesn’t give you an advantage over us other players then I got no problem with it.”

“Uh….yeah…it’s just how I look.” Twilight said blinking once more, she was beginning to wonder how many time she was going to blink like this today.

Mar nodded. “Yeah I figured by how scared you were when the shooting started, if you had a Godmode hack you’d have just sat there like a lump.” Twilight watched as Mar looked behind them. “Well then, looks like our friends still want to play it seems.” Mar said with a smile. Twilight blinked and looked behind them and saw the PKs care speeding down the road after them and closing fast. “Let’s see, a level fifty-seven and fifty-eight vs and level ninety-seven and level one, wonder who will win?”

With another chuckled a small black brick appeared in Mar’s hand and she put her hand out the window and dropped the brick, another one appearing in her hand instantly. “This should be good.” She said and Twilight looked back just in time to see the road explode under the Player Killers car and send it into the air a second before it exploded as well.

“Ha! And that should teach them not to fuck with The Firm.” Mar said with a chuckle of amusement.

Twilight stared at the female biped with wide eyes. “You just killed them, how…why?” She sputtered.

“Well yeah they were going to try and kill us, why else do you think they were chasing us? As for how, I just dropped a Sticky Bomb in the road and timed when to detonate it.” Mar said Twilight just stared at her. “Man do you have a lot to learn about this game, just stick with me and I’ll keep you safe show you how not to die so much.”

Twilight slumped down in the seat. While she was thankful to Mar for saving her, she was also concerned about the fact she just killed two living creature without showing any remorse in the slightest. “By Celestia what’s wrong with this place and how do I get home…” She mumbled to herself as they drove down the road deeper into the city of Los Santos.

Author's Note

I am basing this off my own experiences playing GTA Online and Mar is based off my two characters I have on the game.

also I should note I don't have an Xbox One so this story will be based off GTA on the 360 as it's what I have experience with.
also I know there are probably grammar errors or places I sued the wrong word, I will be getting an Editor to fix this up but I like to Upload chapters when I finish them and then the Edited version later.

also I should note, since Twilight is physically in the game the NPCs and world will react to her a bit differently then they would a normal player, such act actually talking to her when she speaks to them and such.
