Track 3: The Dark Forest

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Why, he DID fault four times. Let's see how he does in Track 3.

The Rider grunted again. He has to wait. Another 40 minutes for it to download.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

He set his controller down to go get something to eat in the kitchen. He was hungry from all the waiting. He went to the fridge to get something to drink first. And then he went to the pantrie and looked for some food. He found some chips, soda that needs to be put in the fridge later, and some other stuff.

He decided to get some chips. Followed by a soda.

He went back in his room and opened a bag of chips and started eating.

The Rider whistled some tunes again. It felt alot more longer than the last track he played. He looked at the thumbnail of the track. All he saw was a dark forest. Followed by red eyes. This looks interesting. Until his friend texted him again.

(Text Chat)

"Hey man. How ya doing?"

"It's great I guess."

"Hey i finally finished the zombies track. Will you mind checking it out?"

"Sure."

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

After about an hour later he finally finished the track. It was pretty good. All of the zombies were now designed perfectly. Including the weapons.

"So how was it?" His friend texted.

"One of the greatest zombie FPS's I've played in years lol." He texted back.

"Well that's great to here. I'm making a sequel soon. It'll take a couple of days of course. I am good at making tracks after all lol." His friend texted.

The Rider looked at the download and it was complete.

(Track 3: The Dark Forest)

He clicked on it. He noticed the difficulty changed. It now said "Everfree".

Very strange. He thought to himself.

(Choose Your Bike)

He didn't know what the difficulty Everfree was. So incase. He chose the helium. A bicycle that has really good agilty to it.

(Later In Equestria)

Twilight was writing a letter.

Dear Princess Celestia, Apparently we have a little problem in Ponyville. For some strange reason, a bipedal figure that appeared to be riding some sort of two wheeled vehicle, has made it's way into ponyville. And it's been scaring the residence. I've been watching it lately, and it looks like it's causing chaos in Equetria. First, it crashed through a house. And then it crashed through the school. And now my friend Applejacks farm. I'm hoping we could at least get some ideas to capture this thing. We can't let this creature keep causing chaos throughout Ponyville. Or possibly anywhere else.

Your dear student:
Twilight Sparkle

(Back With The Rider)

*Ring* *Ring*

The bells from the bicycle rang and echoed through the forest. He looked around and everything was dark. Good thing he had headlights on his Bicycle.

GO!

*Ring* *Ring*

And off he went. Pedaling as fast as he could. He saw some obstacles in the way. He stopped to look at the path. It didn't say anything. Strange.

He didn't mind that of course. At least he knew where to go. He pedaled up the ramp and immediately bunny hopped on it and made it. And now he was on top of the platforms. He quickly pedaled off the obstacle and bunny hopped onto the other. He made it luckily. As he dropped to the ground the impact hurt him in the private area.

The Rider groaned in pain and kept pedaling.

(Later In The Castle)

Princess Celestia just received a letter from her dearest student Twilight about the creature. So she wrote a letter back.

Dear Twilight. I have recieved your message and would like to assist you on your hunt. I would also recommend you to bring your friends with you. First. We could try to talk to it. And of that doesn't work we can always try something else. Then if none of it works out. We'll have to take it to the dungeon. I'm sure we can at least work something out with this creature and stop it from being evil.

By tomorrow, I'll be assisting you on the hunt. And make sure you bring the girls too. And Luna will be on the hunt first before we continue.

(Back With The Rider)

*Ring* *Ring*

After faulting 5 times now. He finally made it to the other checkpoint.

He sighed in relief. He hates getting silver. He'd rather be getting Gold. Or Platinum.

While he pedaled a few meters he heard noises that sound like chickens. And he was right. There were chickens. But one tiny problem. It was half bat. half chicken.

He raised an eyebrow in confusion as he stared at it.

"SCREEEEECH!!!"

FAULTED

The Rider immediately turned into stone.

(Poof)

He respawned back at the checkpoint and bunny hopped over the creature and then pedaled away. He saw an exit through the forest. It looked like finish line but It really wasn't.

He grunted.

As he pedaled he heard howling. It sounded like wolves.

*Howl*

He looked around. Trying to locate the source. And then he saw it. He saw a wolf. But it wasn't just an ordinary wolf. It was made out of wood. It was growling at him.

The Rider honestly didn't even care about the wolf. All he had in his head was making it to the end of the track. And then the wooden wolf ran at him.

With quick reaction time he immediately bailed. He yelled as he went right over him.

BAILOUT

When the wolf got distracted for a moment. The Rider saw an opportunity to pedal to the medal. And he did exactly that.

*Ring* *Ring*

The wolf turned and saw him. And started running towards him. As he pedaled for his life he saw a cliff. He looked at the path and he can read it now. He has to jump off the cliff. And make it through the woods.

He did what it said and immediately jumped off the cliff. Escaping the wolf.

"WOO HOO!!" He shouted.

As he hit the ground. The impact hit his private area again. He groaned in pain.

He pedaled again. And this time he looked around. And noticed a ramp on top of one of the trees. He climbed on top and bunny hopped from one tree to another. And then he soon made it to the other checkpoint.

As another few minutes passed he kept hearing voices. He didn't know where it was coming from or who was speaking to him. It was a female voice speaking to him.

"Hello there."

He looked in the distance and saw a dark blue alicorn. Staring at him.

"Do not be afriad. I am the princess of the night." She said.

The Rider raised an eyebrow in confusion.

"You must be confused. My name is Princess Luna." She poke again.

Again. The Rider's eye brow was still raised in even more confusion. He was so confused, He rang the bell on the bicycle.

*Ring* *Ring*

Luna noticed this.

"Hey. What have you got there? It looks very interesting."

The Rider didn't even listen to a word she said and pedaled past her.

"Hey! Where are you going!?" She shouted at him.

As he was pedaling, he looked behind him and noticed the alicorn was following him.

I guess it's a chase then, he thought to himself as she got closer. The Rider looked at the path again. A few jumps over a pit that looks like it leads to certain death.

"Please come back I mean no harm!!" She shouted to get his attention.

And right when he was about to go up the ramp, a tree fell in front of him. Blocking his path.

And then he turned around and saw her walking towards him.

"Please don't be afriad. I wish no harm upon you." She spoke softly.

The Rider grunted. He was worried he would take to long on this track and get a silver or a bronze medal.

"So just tell me. Are you the one who was causing chaos in Ponyville?" She raised an eyebrow.

The Rider stood there. Silently.

"Ahem. If you would be so kind and answer me." She spoke a little louder.

(Silence)

"I'M AM THE PRINCESS AND I COMMAND YOU TO SPEAK AT ONCE!" She spoke in her Royal Canterlot Voice.

The Rider then flinched and immediately Bailed out of his bike and shouted as he went flying over the tree that was in front of him.

BAILOUT

"How!? Did he?" She raised an eyebrow in confusion.

(Poof)

Fortunately he reached a checkpoint and then pedaled as fast as he could.

*Ring* *Ring*

Luna was confused and also furious. She decided to head back to the castle to give them the news.

"Forget it... It'll be alot easier out in the day anyway." She said to herself.

(Back With The Rider)

He finally saw the finish line. He sighed in relief. And he saw an opening that lead to the outside of the woods. When he finally reached it, the last thing he saw before he disappeared into the Results screen was him heading towards a big castle that was on the side of a mountain. It looked golden and white.

(Track 3 of 10 Complete)

The Dark Forest: Complete

Medal: Silver
He grunted at that

Faults: 8

Continue?

Yes or No

He clicked yes.

(Later In The Castle)

Celestia was looking at the night sky until her sister came in the room.

"Uh sis? We have a major problem." She said.

"Did you find the creature?" Celestia asked.

"Well, yes I did. But he somehow got away. I tried to capture him but for some reason he jumped out of what ever he was riding and disappeared and kept on going. I chased him for over 13 minutes and I eventually gave up. He's too fast. I'm sorry sis." Luna lowered her head.

Celestia went in for a hug.

"You are forgiven. Don't worry. Once it's day. I'm sure it'll be alot more easier to find him. For now. Let's rest for a while. We have a big day tomorrow." She smiled at her sister and Luna smiled back.


Author's Note

Poor Rider. He got a Silver medal. At least Silver ain't that worse than Bronze.

Now what awaits him on his next journey? Find out in the next Track ;)
