The Game Players were in Game’s basement and were making accessories that involve their school’s theme. “Dark Speed hates this. Dark Speed would have chosen to clean toilets and give the idiots that are participating in the courses cheers.” Complained Dark Speed as he tossed a headband of pony ears in a pile with the others.

“Like we had a choice.” Said IQ.

“Since there isn’t a course related to video games and since we’re known to refuse to participate willingly. We’re being force to craft these for the entire school.” Explained Game Life as he tossed an accessory of a ponytail in a different pile.

“What bullshit!” Said Exo “And I’m banned due to my illegal high school gambling ring.” She snarled and punched the ground “Thanks a lot, Applejack. You wonder why I started to piss on your trees.”

“Must you be so disgusting?” Said D.A.

“And saying that around residents from farms, jackass.” Said Large.

“That kind of action gets you stabbed in the butt with a pitchfork.” Spoke Heavy as she packed the pile. “Also, given how much money this Guild is making. I thought you would stop committing crime.”

“Yeah… but that wouldn’t be the real me.” Said Exo “Robbing banks, fencing women’s luxury coats, slashing tires, and flipping the cops. That's life for me.” Said boasted proudly.

“Until a hitman is hired to kill your parents, send you to a rehabilitation center and they re-education you to be a proper citizen of society.” Said Sharp bluntly.

“Thank you for the reminder, Sharpy.” Said Exo “I’ll remember it when I show you their severed fingers.” Relax was just baffled by Fancy and Game’s friends' personalities.

“Are your friends like this?” Asked Relax.

“This was before we became part of the Abyss.” Spoke Fancy.

“A bunch of high school students talking about video games and how much we hate this one teacher who sees us as a plague to the school.” Said Game Life. “Also with the whole magic incidents we’ve been having. I can’t imagine how many Abyss Hunters who will stake out to capture us or want me dead.” He said grimly but looked at his friends, but he looked up “But ignoring that fact, what do you all think about Relax’s idea? Creating a mining source in her MF? I mean it will make it a bit easier to collect mineral-theme resources?” He asked as Dark Speed got up.

“Dark Speed thinks it is a wise idea. The flaw is getting only the common stuff but at least we’re not risking an innocent life for greedy needs.” He said which Relax smiled as Large stood up.

“Game, Exo and I have some monsters that can grow food; fruits, vegetables and flowers for Exo’s bees to produce honey but given how pure the honey is, we need to lower how anyone who eats it will immediately fall into bliss.” Explain Large.

“Such is the life of The Game Players which you are now a part of.” Said IQ, Relax gulped in hearing that.

“I hope this doesn’t happen too often.” She prayed.

“HA!” Said Exo “If we’re lucky and nothing weird comes to us.” She said that they watch Relax made some of the accessories faster than the other Game Players.

“And with what I’m doing, I can make the resource mine in an instant.” She said, on which a screen appeared.

Congratulations! You have completed making 30 Kinds of Blueprints! The Skill [Resource Building] is now created

[Resource Building (Action & Passive) LV1 EXP: 0%] – Create a building to create resources. Buildings can level up if the user can level it up by using its Mana. You can send workers to collect resources, but they must be tamed monsters, willing comrades, or prisoners. Monsters will gain EXP & [Gather] skill.

• Mineral
• Wood

“Yes! Finally!” She said as they all looked at the skill. “Tamed monsters, willing comrades or prisoners?” Said Relax as they looked at Game.

“Anyone but prisoners.” He said, “I’ve seen a lot of prison episodes in anime, manga, cartoons, comics and video games to know one thing, anything can be used as tools for escape.” He said as they looked at each other.

“Yeah that makes sense.” Said Large.

“I can see that.” Said IQ.

“I would do the same thing to escape and shank a guard or cellmate to death.” Said Exo.

“Tamed monsters and willing comrades will have to do it but I’m not powerful enough to tame strong monsters.” Said Relax.

“Like in any video game with an army or monsters; you gotta train them to get stronger.” Said everyone but Relax.

“Oh dear…” She said as her stats make it impossible. “I’m going to need help with the harvest.” She said as they all gave thumbs up.

“We’re willing to loan you some of our monsters, but we’ll also help you with taming.” Said Fancy.

“Dark Speed might offer his assistance but will only use his best… Quote Innocent Quote ID.” He said which made Relax worried.

“Does innocent for him mean dangerous?” She asked.

“I think Dark is speaking of his Toy ID.” Said Game which earned some stares.

“Dark Speed did it for the twins. It was Dark Speed’s act of kindness for the young generation before they become teenagers and see the world how we see it.” He said that IQ looked disgusting.

“Except the loot that was dropped gave not only toys but Toy-Themed weapons. Even a Porcelain Doll wielding a knife is deadly.” He said as he remembered the twins “I fear Sea Life having those dolls of hers demanding me for candy.”

“Don’t give her ideas.” Said Game “I’m the one who is taking care of her & her brother. Besides, I need to make sure they are loved and cared for.” He said as they decided to think of monsters that Relax should tame until a screen appeared before Game & Sharp.

Congratulations! Game Life’s monster; Diablo the Drider & Sharp Shooter’s monster; Kissy the Succubus had an infant.

“WHAT?!” They both screamed as the others turned to them.

“What’s with the screaming?!” Asked Fancy as both Game & Sharp turned to each other.

“MF!” They both yelled.

“Diablo!”

“Kissy!” 1 portal appeared as both monsters came as Relax backed away as Fancy stopped her.

“They’re both Game and Sharp’s tamed monsters.” She explained as they all noticed Kissy was holding something wrapped around in cloth.

“Uh…” Both Diablo and Kissy looked at each other and showed them.

“Meet our baby, Spider.” Said Kissy showing a baby hybrid of a Drider and Succubus.

“Ba…” Said the baby as all the Game Players looked at the baby.

“Oh shit…” Said IQ as Game Life fainted and fell backwards.

“I’m not changing diapers.” Said Death.

“Uh… how?” Asked IQ as they saw the baby’s lower half was the Drider.

“I don’t want to know how.” Said Large as a new screen appeared.

Infant Spider has been born. Who wishes to tame newborn monster?

“Relax.” They all said as Relax looked scared.

“I can’t take care of a baby!”

“Don’t worry.” Said Kissy “She’s too young to fight, so we’ll ask her parents to raise her until she’s old enough to fight for you.” Explained Kissy as they went back into the portal as Diablo smirked.

“You all didn’t put any rules saying we can’t mate.” He said, “I mean the ogres have goblin infants.” He said as they turned to Large who looked nervous.

“I’m a farmer and if they help with the work, I’m not judging them. Besides… I’m not getting more monsters but I’m thinking of giving to members who need monsters.” He said as he turned to Relax. “These goblins are not like the stereotypes of how goblins are viewed.” He said which got some nods.

“So what are we going to do now?” Asked Exo.

“…”

“Binge-watch anime after we do our mandatory work?” Asked Game as they all agree to watch and do anything involving the Abyss later.

The Next Day
Game and Fancy were carrying boxes with the accessories for the Friendship Games. “I’m wondering if the trap Sharp secretly set up for a certain pain in the ass will capture him?” He said as Fancy looked worried.

“As long as it doesn’t give him broken bones.” Said Fancy.

“That’s Exo’s traps. Her traps involve broken bones or worse, missing fingers and the very rare occasion, a thumb.” Explained Game.

“Again, why the @#$% are we her friends?” She asked.

“Because she won’t rob us and threaten us.” Answered Game “Plus we’re the only real friends, she has since her sister betrayed her.” Said Game as Fancy sighed.

“That’s true… but she does hate all my spoiled neighbors. She vandalizes their yards and steals their garbage.” Said Fancy.

“Uh… we steal their garbage as well. I mean they do throw away go shit.” Said Game as Fancy agreed to that truth. They continued to walk as Fancy stopped.

“What’s wrong?” Asked Game.

“Who is that near the statue?” Said Fancy as Game turned to see a hooded teenager.

“Don’t know but I’m going to use [Observe] on that dude.” Said Game as he used it.

Crystal Prep Honor Student, Twilight Sparkle LV3

Game’s eyes widened in shock “Oh… shit…” Said Game while Fancy looked at him.

“What’s wrong?” She asked.

“That teen examining the statue portal to Equestria… it's Twilight Sparkle.” Said Game which Fancy turned to him.

“Twilight… you mean…

“Our world’s Twilight Sparkle and worst of all… she’s a student of Crystal Prep.” He said as Fancy looked shocked and worried.

“Oh… shit…” Said Fancy “The others won’t like this…” She said,

Game Players’ Club Room
“WHAT?!” Yelled all the members except Dark Speed.

“Dark Speed had a feeling that we’ll someday meet our universe’s Twilight Sparkle but not this soon.” He said as Exo groaned.

“Great… just @#$%ing great!” She yelled in anger, “Our world’s version of that egghead is in the school full of the snootiest jerks!” She said as she dropped into a pile of plushies.

“Well… there’s nothing we can do about it.” Said IQ.

“Agree.” Said Death “I mean we can’t exactly say to a girl that we’re her friend when in fact it’s an alternate version of her.” He explained while Game jumped on a chair.

“Listen up, Gamers.” He said as they turned to her “When we met her… we pretend that we don’t know her since we actually don’t know her.” They looked confused as Sharp jumped on a chair.

“I’m afraid he’s right.” She said, “I mean the Twilight Sparkle, we know, is a sentient and talking mythical creature, not a human teenager. We’ll have to tell Sunset and the other Rainbooms.” She said as Tunes placed her box of accessories down.

“What about Flash Sentry?” She said, “I mean the dude loves Twilight but the Princess of Friendship version, not our world’s version.” She asked as Large looked worried.

“Yeah… I mean he fell in love with an alternative Twilight Sparkle. If he talks to her and talks about the Battle of the Bands and the dance, our world's Twilight will think he’s crazy and might pepper spray his eyes.” He explained which made them try to think of a solution.

“Dark Speed… may have an idea.” He said, which made everyone turn to him. “We could use the mind reading book on her.” Answer Dark Speed as IQ snapped his fingers.

“We’ll know what she's thinking about and why she’s nosing around the statue.” He explained “Just be wary of the other preppies. This isn’t Bully. We can’t just beat Jocks, Nerds, Greasers, Preps or a psychotic mastermind who wants to take over. So no attack or swindling Crystal Preps. Exo and Dark.” Said IQ as Dark smirked.

“All Dark Speed did was read Grimm Fairy Tales.” He said.

“You made your own version of The Tin Soldier with graphic and imaginative images for anyone to think of it.” Said Large “You made one of their pregnant teachers give birth.”

“The horror of childbirth…” Said Death “Nothing is beautiful about it.” He said.

“Cry babies.” He said as Dark Speed walked away as they each had their own Mind Reading Book.

“Remember, don’t let anyone that’s not a Rainfool know the books you're carrying.” He said as he walked out as they all looked at each other with worried looks, Game looked at the book he’s holding.

“Also no cheating on tests.” He said as Exo snapped her fingers.

“What’s wrong with me getting an A?” She asked.

“Your history of cheat sheets written in your clothes.” Said everyone.

“God damn it.” She said as they went out as they looked at Miss Lax.

“*YAWN* Don’t worry kids. I’ll make sure any hunters from The Abyss come here.” She said “Promise you won’t use your powers in the games”

“We’re not even participating. So there is a slim chance of that happening.” Said Exo as they all went out with their boxes of accessories.
