Primordia

Trixie let out a yawn and opened her eyes. Another peaceful morning in the fields near Fillydelphia. She was currently traveling the land in her RV, taking a break from her job as a professional magician. Wearing only a nightgown, she got up from her bed and grabbed her phone. Checking her texts to see if she had gotten any response from Starlight, she saw none.

“Did I do something wrong?” She asked herself as she headed into the bathroom to take a shower.

As she undressed, she started thinking about the past few days. Ever since she went on her trip, no one’s tried to contact her for any reason. They couldn’t have possibly forgotten about the Great And Powerful Trixie... could they? After all it’s just been about a week. Stepping into the shower, she grabbed the sponge and body wash.

"Maybe she's just occupied..." Trixie told herself as she squirted some of the wash onto the sponge. "After all, she's a busy mare..." Setting the bottle of body wash down, she began to wash her body. She dragged the sponge over her breasts and down to her butt. "I hope she's okay..."

After her shower, she dried off and wrapped herself in the towel. Grabbing her phone, she checked through her messages again. Opening up a chat with Twilight, she sent:

How’s everything back home?

Setting the phone down beside the sink, she finished drying off. After hanging her towel up, she left the bathroom to grab clothes to wear. Now in a white crop top and dark blue shorts, she went back to the bathroom and grabbed her phone. No response from Twilight.

“It’s only been a week,” she sighed, calling Twilight’s number. “Come on... Pick up, pick up, pick up, pick up, pick up, Twilight?!” She suddenly said happily, before realizing it was her voicemail. Sighing, she sat down on the toilet lid and left a message; “Hi, Twilight. Just seeing how everyone’s doing. No one’s responding, so... I hope I didn’t do anything wrong... Um... bye...”

Hanging up, she sighed and got up, heading out into the main area to grab a bite to eat. Opening her fridge, Trixie pulled out some milk. Closing the door, she grabbed a box of cereal from the cabinets and set both on the table. She then fetched a bowl and a spoon before returning to the table. Sitting down, she started preparing her breakfast. Looking out the window, she smiled at how peaceful everything was, wishing she had someone else to share it with. Someone like Starlight.

Taking a spoonful of cereal, she brought it to her mouth and chewed. Leaning back in her seat, she sighed. At first, the trip sounded like a fun idea. However, the silence and loneliness was starting to get to her. Once she was finished with her cereal, she cleaned up and headed up to the driver's seat. Turning the RV's engine on, she started driving, making her way back to the road. Looking both ways, she didn't see any cars.

"Huh..." she muttered. "Where is everyone?"

Turning right, she continued down the road, looking around. When she entered Fillydelphia, she noticed a bunch of crashed cars and no signs of life. Pulling over to the side of the road, she parked her RV and got out. Looking around some more, she made her way down the sidewalk.

"Where is everyone?" She asked aloud. Cupping her hands over her mouth, she yelled, "Hello?! Is anyone here?!" Her voice echoed faintly throughout the vacant streets. "What the hell?" She walked into the middle of an intersection and looked all around. "Um... This is one pretty impressive vanishing act. What's the trick?"

Trixie pulled out her phone again and frantically called Starlight. Putting the pone to her ear, she started breathing heavily. "Please, answer!" She squeaked. "Starlight?!" When it went to voicemail again, she dropped to her knees and started breathing heavily. "A-Am I... the only one left?"

Suddenly, she heard a noise behind her and looked over her shoulder. Coming down the street was a griffon riding a cloud that looked like glitching computer pixels. The bird, herself, was all black with green eyes and her fur had a green circuit pattern all over her arms and legs. Her wing feathers also appeared to be a translucent green. In her right hand was a scythe with a translucent green blade. She was wearing a dark green loincloth and tube top as well as dark green high heel boots. Trixie knew there was no use in running as the bird had already spotted her.

"Ah, a straggler," the griffon cooed in a seductive and raspy voice, lowering herself to the ground near the unicorn. The pixel cloud she was riding vanished when she touched down. "I thought I got everyone..." Now, that the newcomer was up close, Trixie noticed that the bird wore a necklace with a small computer chip attached to it, rather than a pendant.

"Wh-What?" The mare asked, sweating nervously. "Wh-Who are you?"

"My name is Iris," the griffon said as she walked around to the front of Trixie, squatting down. "I'll be your Game Master for the foreseeable future, my dear."

"Game... Master?" The frightened unicorn asked.

"I'll be sending you where all the others are," the griffin explained. "Where all your friends are."

Trixie let out a gasp. "Starlight?!"

A grin spread across Iris' face as she stood up. "Starlight is there, yes. As are your other friends."

Trixie's smile slowly faded. "W-Wait... Y-You're evil..."

Iris burst out laughing, circling around behind the unicorn. "I don't know about that, but... you're welcome to try and stop me. Or... I send you to your precious Starlight," she said, making Trixie look over her shoulder at her. The griffon twirled the staff in her hand before slowly slashing it at the air beside her. The blade seemed to cut the very fabric of reality, creating a green tear. "I had to force the others through, but... I'm sure you'll enter willingly, yes?"

Trixie stared at the power of the scythe. "Wh-Why am I the last one?"

"Well, I went town to town. City to city," Iris explained. "However, you kept travelling in that RV of yours, so... you were hard to find. Now, are you going?" She then slammed the butt of the scythe down on the ground as the tear opened partially, revealing a circuitry pattern similar to the design on the griffin's own body.

The blue mare eyed it and then stood up. "If Trixie really is the last one... then, there's no need for to remain here! Plus, Starlight's in there..."

"Ooo..." Iris cooed in awe. "I love the way you talk. I'll be sure to visit you in there whenever I can."

Trixie took a step towards the tear in reality. "H... How do I know everyone isn't dead?"

Iris frowned and casually held the scythe over her shoulder. "Well, then everyone you've ever cared for is dead, along with Starlight, so..." She then shrugged. "Would there still be a reason to stay here?"

Trixie gasped at that. The bird was right. There wasn't a reason to live without Starlight. And, wherever Starlight went, she would go. "Alright..." she sighed, before jumping through the tear.

Iris smirked as the tear closed, her chip pendant flashing green. "Another player has entered the game... Soon, the world shall be mine..."

Trixie let out a yell as she fell a good feet before hitting the ground. Luckily, the grass was soft and somewhat broke her fall. Letting out a groan, she started to get up before realizing something. She was naked! Or rather, she only had on a thin tube top and loin cloth. Scrambling to her feet, she stood up and looked around. She was standing in a large field with mountains off to one side and forest on the other. On the mountain side, she could make out a tower in the distance.

"Where am I?" She asked, taking a step forward.

Suddenly, there was a voice in her head. It was Iris'. "You're in the magic land of Primordia!"

Trixie shrieked and whipped around. "Where the hell are you?!"

"I'm back in Fillydelphia," Iris chuckled. "I'm sure you've noticed your lack of clothes?"

"Yeah, what the hell is wrong with you?!" Trixie yelled.

"Non-living objects can't make it through the portal, so I created a basic design for all newcomers," Iris explained. "You'll need to make your own clothes by Crafting."

"Crafting?" Trixie asked. "I-I don't know how to build anything! I'm a magician!"

"Oh, silly mare..." Iris sighed. "Everything will be explained to you shortly. For now, you have visitors."

"Visitors?" Trixie asked, before hearing the sound of fluttering wings behind her. Turning around, she gasped in horror. "Chrysalis?"

The bug queen was wearing a black armor chestplate, black knee and elbow armor, and black pointed boots. Around her waist was a gun belt with a large, custom double-barrel handgun. "Well, well, well," the changeling sang, landing in front of the unicorn. "If it isn't Starlight's worthless girlfriend. I was hoping you'd show up. Took you long enough."

"I-It's only been a... a week," Trixie whimpered, taking a step back.

Chrysalis laughed at that, pulling out her gun. "Well, shit, you have much to learn. "For example..." She then aimed her gun at Trixie's right foot and pulled the trigger.

The unicorn let out a shriek of pain as her toes were shot off, causing her to collapse to the ground. "What the shit?!" She cried, watching blood spurt out from where her toes used to be. She quickly raised her hand to tell the changeling to stop, before her fingers were shot off. Tears flooded her face as she watched her digits fly from her hand in five more spurts of blood. "NOOO!!!"

Her cries were cut short when Chrysalis pressed her foot to her neck. "The rules in this world are very different than the world we're from. You'll learn soon enough." All Trixie could do was cough, tears streaming as she looked up at her attacker. "Remember this, little shit... The only reason I'm letting you go is so you can live with the knowledge of all the wonderful things I'm doing to your bitch of a fucking girlfriend... and all the things I have done..." Aiming her gun at Trixie's forehead, she grinned. "See you later," she cooed, before pulling the trigger.

Trixie's Stats

Trixie let out a gasp as her eyes shot open. Quickly sitting up, she looked around, noticing she was somewhere else than where she... died? Checking her fingers and toes, she saw that they were all there. She’d have thought it a dream if she wasn’t still in her skimpy clothes from before. Also, surprisingly, she didn’t feel tired or hurt. In fact, she felt great.

Getting to her feet, she took another glance at her surroundings. She seemed to be in a dense forest with barely any light. “U-Uh...” She stammered. “Hello?!”

“Oh, hello,” came Iris’ voice again. “I see you’re awake.”

Trucks growled softly. “You bitch! You could’ve warned me!”

“It wouldn’t have helped you,” the voice chuckled. “But, now I think it’s time to get you up to speed on how things work around here.”

“Yes, Trixie would like that very much,” the unicorn spat as she crossed her arms.

Iris chuckled again. “Feisty. Good. You’ll need that. First things first, to open your Crafting menu, just think about it. If you do it right, it should appear in front of you.”

“My what?” Trixie asked, before letting out a sigh. “Just think it?”

“Mm-hmm,” Iris said cheerfully. “It’s easy.”

“Can’t you tell me this face to face?” Trixie asked as she concentrated. She didn’t have to think hard at all before the Crafting window appeared in front of “O-Oh, I did it! Trixie did it!”

Iris sighed happily. “You are a delight. I’ll be there in a bit. Just... start exploring the menu to learn what you can craft.”

Trixie spent the next half hour looking at the menu in front of her face. Reading it, she learned how to make a variety of tools and clothing. After about the first five minutes, Trixie had found a nearby tree to lean against. Suddenly, the black griffon appeared in a burst of green pixels a couple feet away.

"Here I am!" She said with a wave of her left hand.

Trixie scoffed and made her Crafting menu disappear. "I've been waiting for 30 minutes. What took you so long?"

Iris slowly walked up to her with a smirk. "Whatever do you mean, my dear?" She cooed deviously. "I only took just over a minute."

Trixie raised an eyebrow and crossed her arms. "I beg to differ."

Iris put an arm around the unicorn. "Time here works differently," the griffon explained. "Ever notice how in every open-world survival game, the days last about a half hour?"

Trixie shook her head. "I don't play games."

This made the bird faceplam with a loud slap. "Ugh..." she groaned, sliding her hand away. "Well... in games, a day doesn't last a real day in real time. Otherwise players would make practically no progress. So, the developers make days last a few minutes. Here, in Primordia, a single day lasts an hour in the real world. Thirty minutes for day and night. But... for us, here... it'll still feel like a full 24 hours. Why is that? Because your hunger, thirst, and stamina will drain accordingly." She noticed the mare just staring at her with a blank look. Iris then sighed. "Don't think about it too hard. Just know that after 24 hours here, one hour has passed in the real world."

"One hour back home is a day here?" Trixie asked. She then went wide-eyed and gasped. "B-But, my friends have been gone a week! I-If one day is one hour..."

"You'll find them," Iris chuckled. "They aren't far. In fact, if I didn't know any better... I'd say they're about to find you. They'll teach you everything you need to know about survival. Though, I will fill you in on your current Stats."

"My... Stats?" The inexperienced gamer asked.

"Yes!" Iris sang cheerfully as she backed up a step from the unicorn. "For a unicorn in this world, you begin with 4 Attack, 2 Defense, 4 Intelligence, 2 Agility, 1 Stamina, 1 Charm, 100 Health, 50 Max Magic Points, 25 Magic Attack, and 50 Magic Defense." As she listed these off, the Stats appeared as text in front of Trixie in a nice organized chart.

"Oh, that's... good, I guess," Trixie said, not really knowing whether or not her stats were good or not. "Um... Right?"

"Yes, that's a good start," Iris said, before frowning. "However, you also have the Showpony trait," she added. "You get plus one to your Charm--"

"Well, Trixie is quite the charmer," the unicorn giggled.

"but," Iris continued. "minus 1 intelligence, minus 10 Max Magic Points, minus 10 Magic Attack, and minus 10 Magic Defense." Again, as she listed these off, the Showpony trait appeared under Trixie's stats and the numbers changed accordingly.

"Wh-What?!" Trixie squeaked. "I'm dumber than a normal unicorn?"

Iris shrugged. "But, fret not, dear Trixie. You also gain the Spark ability with your Showpony trait. It costs 5 Magic Points to use and it creates a brief flash that blinds anyone nearby. You can use this to escape a fight you don't wish to partake in."

"O-Okay..." Trixie whimpered, holding her head. "Oh, I'm so screwed."

Iris smiled and walked up to her. "You'll do fine. Now, I must leave you. Practice crafting, and, uh... Have fun."

"I-I don't..." Trixie stammered, before Iris poofed away in a cloud of pixels. "Uh... Shit..." she said, looking around her surroundings. She noticed that, wherever she looked, there was a small map of the area in the bottom-left area of her vision. "Huh... That's helpful," she muttered as she began walking. "Alright... I should probably make a tool so I can... make some clothes..."

Picking up a few sticks and rocks, she opened her Crafting menu and chose Axe. Then, to her surprise and glee, the materials merged together to form a normal-looking axe. She looked it over, trying to figure out how a bunch of sticks and rocks could make such a perfect-looking axe. Shrugging, she moved over to a tree and started hitting it. Every time she chopped at it, she saw text in the center of her vision that read +1 Wood (1), +1 Wood (2), +1 Wood (3), the number in parentheses going up to show how much she had. She didn't even bother trying to figure out where it was going, as she had no backpack of any kind.

She had 30 pieces of wood before she heard twigs snapping nearby. Letting out a gasp, she ducked down. Even though Iris said her friends were close, it still could've been Chrysalis, and she had no intention of bumping into her again. Taking cover in a bush, she waited until she saw a familiar figure step into view. It was Rainbow Dash! Only one of her wings was metal, her hair was a little shorter, and she had a scar over her eye. The scar seemed to only be on her eyelid as her eye, itself, seemed fine. She was wearing a black full-body suit that had metal armor padding on her shoulders, elbows, and knees. In her hands, she held an assault rifle.

Finally seeing a friendly face, Trixie gasped happily and rushed from the bush. "Rainbow Dash!" She yelled.

The pegasus gasped and quickly turned, pulling the trigger. Trixie went wide-eyed as she felt the bullet hit her in the side, causing her to drop to her knees. Rainbow went wide-eyed and rushed over to her, quickly dropping to her knees to lend aid. "Red blood," she said, placing her hand over the unicorn's wound. "Shit," she muttered as bandages appeared in her right hand. As she began to wrap the mare up, she looked Trixie in the eyes. "Trixie? Is that really you?"

The unicorn grunted as the pegasus tightened the bandages. "Mmm... Y-Yeah... I-Is that really going to help?"

"Video game logic," Dash answered with a light chuckle. "Now, come on," she said, helping the mare to her feet. "Let's get you back to the others."

Trixie smiled as she put an arm around the pegasus for support. "Wait!" She gasped. "Ch-Chrysalis mentioned something about Starlight. Do you know what she was talking about?"

Dash gave her an uneasy look. "I should let Twilight explain that to you. She's the only one to make it as far as Chrysalis' Tower."

Nodding, Trixie kept walking. "I-I hope she's okay..."

Rainbow Dash kept silent, not wanting to be the one to deliver the bad news.

Forest Chase

Rainbow Dash led Trixie through the trees and the brush until some sort of Jeep-looking off-road vehicle came into view. It had two roll bars on top going from front to back on either side as well as two roll bars going from side to side at the front and back. Probably to help it roll back over in case it started to flip. Dash helped the unicorn into the passenger seat before getting into the driver’s seat.

“We’re not that far,” Dash said as she turned the engine on and sped off.

“Hey, Rainbow?” Trixie asked. “That red bar I’m seeing under the map... Is that my health?”

“Yeah...” the driver replied nervously. “Why?”

“Just, it looks...” Trixie mumbled. “It looks pretty low... It’s supposed to be like this,” she said, reaching out and pinching the floating health bar that Rainbow couldn’t see. “But, it’s like this...” She then brought her fingers so they were almost touching.

“Shit...” Rainbow muttered. “I have to get you back fast. Here, I’ll put our base on your map in case we don’t make it.”

“Ooh, that’s encouraging...” Trixie said, sounding out of it.

Rainbow suddenly noticed a red door on her map. It was moving right towards them. “Oh, no...” she muttered, before there was a gun shot from up above. Swerving the vehicle to the right, she dodged the attack and looked up.

Above them was a pegasus mare in thin, black armor and a jet pack. She had a helmet on and was packing two handguns with scopes and an extended magazine. She then started firing at them again.

Rainbow growled and sped up. “I have to lose her before we head to base...” She then squinted her eyes. “There should be that jump close by...”

"We're goooooing so faaaaaast..." the loopy mare sings, her head falling back.

"Hang in there..." Dash said, reaching over and patting Trixie's shoulder. "Just stay with me." She then marked a spot on her own map and turned on the vehicle's Autodrive function. Taking her hands off the wheel, she pulled out her assault rifle and aimed it at the attacking pegasus. Firing up at her, the pegasus flew side to side to dodge the bullets. "Just fuck off, already!" Rainbow yelled.

Their attacker flew a little lower before throwing an explosive at them. Rainbow went wide-eyed and slammed on the gas. The explosive hit the ground and sent the back of the vehicle flying upwards, causing it perform a forward somersault. Due to the roll bars, it managed to land perfectly on all four wheels and continue driving.

“That’s my girl!” Dash exclaimed gleefully as she patted the steering wheel.

She then heard a thunk as the flying mare landed on the back of the vehicle. Rainbow gasped and quickly blocked a kick before jumping up onto her seat. When the armored mare started to pull out a gun, Rainbow leaped at her and tackled her. The two rolled off the back before the cyan mare grabbed the bumper. The armored mare then grabbed her leg. Due to the vehicle’s Autodrive, it kept along its designated path, expertly navigating around trees and rocks.

Rainbow got two good kicks in on the other mare’s face before she knocked the helmet off. Letting out a soft gasp, she saw who the attacker was. “Lightning Dust?!”

“Hey, Rainbow,” the turquoise mare said with a grin, before using her jet pack to rocket herself forward. She grabbed Dash along the way and pinned her down once they landed back on top of the vehicle. “Long time, no see.”

“Dammit, you bitch,” Rainbow growled. “There’s more going on here than your fucking stupid, petty-ass grudge.”

“Don’t try and talk your way out of this, Rainbow Dash,” Lightning hissed. “Finally, I’ll get the chance to prove I’m better than you.”

“But, not right now!” The cyan mare yelled in irritation. “I have to get Trixie back to base so she can build bed with us there. Her HP is almost gone.”

Lightning scoffed. “Like, I give a shit what you’re up to? I don’t think so. I’m gonna put a hole in your fucking head whenever our paths cross so that you’ll always remember who the best of the best is.”

There was a sudden beep from the GPS, making Rainbow smirk. She quickly managed to slip her arm away while Lightning was distracted before she elbowed her in the face. While the turquoise mare was temporarily stunned, Rainbow managed to get her handgun out. She only had time to aim before Lightning knocked the gun from her hand and grabbed her neck.

“Die, bitch,” the turquoise mare growled.

“Hey,” came Trixie’s exhausted voice, making Lightning look over at her. The unicorn was holding Rainbow’s gun. “Go away,” she mumbled as she pulled the trigger. The gunshot made her shriek in surprise as the bullet hit Lightning in the shoulder.

Rainbow took this opportunity to kick the mare off her and climb back into the driver’s seat. Sure enough, the GPS beep was letting Dash know they reached their destination. The jump across a large ravine was coming up. The ramp was just a somewhat flat rock sticking out of the ground.

“Hold on, Trixie,” she said as she sped up.

Lightning was doing her best to hang on, but lost her grip when the vehicle hit the ramp at an angle and started to flip over on its side. While airborne, Rainbow took her gun from Trixie and fired a couple times at Lightning Dust. The turquoise mare let out yells of pain as she pulled out her own gun and fired once in response before she fell onto the rock ramp and rolled back onto the ground.

Rainbow smirked and looked ahead as they were almost over the ravine. Then the vehicle hit the ground, it tumbled and rolled but ended up on all four wheels, just like before.

“Yeah!” Dash yelled triumphantly, before looking at Trixie. Gasping, she slammed on the brakes. There was a bullet hole through the blue mare’s head. “Shit,” Dash grunted, slamming the steering wheel. She then continued making her way back to base.

Lightning got to her feet with a grunt and let out a chuckle. "Heh... If I can't beat you... at least I can set you back..." Looking over her shoulder at her wings, she saw status text pop up that read Crippled. "Shit," she hissed, before watching Dash drive away.

Rainbow swerved around bushes and trees as she made her way into a large clearing. In the clearing was a long, 3-story building, about the size of an elementary school, with garages on the first floor and landing pads out front for aerial vehicles. On some of the pads was a helicopter and most garages had a land vehicle of some kind. Around it all was a tall, concrete wall with gates on all four sides of the complex. There were guards all around the perimeter with guns and some even had rocket launchers. On the roof of the building and wall were a snipers.

When Dash came into view, all the guards in the area turned to her. Seeing who she was, they opened the nearest gate for her. Once inside, Rainbow swerved to a stop before hopping out of her car. "Someone get Twilight!" She yelled.

Soarin came running over with a concerned look on his face. He had a bullet-proof vest on, cargo pants, and a helmet, and was carrying an assault rifle with a scope. "What's going on?" He asked, before seeing Trixie's body. "I-Is that Trixie?"

"Just get me Twilight!" Rainbow yelled frantically. "We have to hurry!"

Origin Valley

Twilight sat in a swivel chair with her feet up on her desk. She was wearing a pink and black sports bra and black jogging shorts with a pink elastic waist. On her hands she wore black fingerless gloves and on her face she wore round glasses. Her hair was done up in a bun and she wore nothing on her feet. Under her right armpit was a tattoo of three bullets side by side.

She was currently blowing a bubble with her gum while looking at her Skill Tree, trying to decide what to put her new Skill Points towards, when her door burst open.

“Twilight!” Cadance exclaimed, wearing a golden dress with golden armor arm gauntlets, breastplate, and shoulder pads. “You need to come, quick!”

Twilight quickly closed her menu and stood up, walking towards the pink alicorn. “What’s wrong?”

“Rainbow Dash has returned,” Cadance explained. “And, she’s brought back Trixie.”

Twilight went wide-eyed and left the room, Cadance following closely. “It’s been so long,” Twilight sighed with a smile. “I thought we lost her.”

“About that,” Cadance said as they headed down a flight of stairs to the front door if the building. “She sort of... dead.”

Twilight stopped moving before eyeing her. After thinking for a moment, she burst through the front door and made her way towards Dash’s vehicle. When she got closer, Rainbow waved to her. “What happened?” Twilight asked causally.

“Lightning Dust happened,” Rainbow explained. “I almost had Trixie back here alive.”

“Then, she’s out there somewhere,” Twilight said as she turned and headed for one of the other off-road vehicles. “I’ll search Origin Valley!” She called out as she climbed into a vacant vehicle. “If she hasn’t made a bed yet, she’ll Respawn somewhere in there!”

Rainbow watched the purple alicorn speed off before Cadance came up behind her. “I really fucked up...”

“You couldn’t have predicted Lightning Dust showing up,” Cadance cooed as she put her hands on the pegasus’ shoulders.

“But, I shot her,” Dash sighed, rubbing her forehead. “I thought she was a Changeling... If I hadn’t shot her, I dunno... Maybe, she would’ve survived a shot from Lightning.”

Cadance looked over at the magician’s corpse. “That looks like a pretty good head shot. Even at full health, being Level 1... I don’t think she’d have survived anyways...”

Rainbow smiled and looked over her shoulder. “Thanks, Cadance.”

“Anytime,” the alicorn replied, before leaning in closely. “Now, how about I help you relax even more?” She offered. “We could both the Experience, too...”

The pegasus nodded with a smile. “Will your husband be joining us?”

Cadance shook her head. “He’s off doing some Side Quests. So, it’s just us.”

“Shame,” Rainbow said as they began heading back to the building. “I could use a nice, hard one inside me.”

The pink mare giggled and leaned in to whisper, “Having the Goddess Of Love trait means I can access a bunch of sexual spells. One of which will help scratch that itch of yours...”

“You waited all this time to use it?” Dash asked with a chuckle.

Cadance shot her a smile. “Usually we have Shining Armor with us... or some other stallion. Besides it costs a lot of Magic Points to use.”

Rainbow started running. “Come on! I can’t wait any longer!”

The alicorn rolled her eyes with a smile before running after her.

Trixie let out a huge gasp as she sat up. She was in another field. “Did I just die again?” She asked herself as she got to her feet. “Ooo, Rainbow... Maybe I’ll shoot you next time...” She suddenly heard the sound of an approaching engine. “Ah! That you, Rainbow Dash?! Come back to apologize?! And to... to take me with you?!”

Suddenly, an armored vehicle That resembled a sports car burst from the nearby tree line, heading straight for her. Letting out a shriek, Trixie turned and started running. The car was, obviously, much faster. A thin, horizontal blade emerged from the side. The driver then slammed on the gas, the blade slicing through Trixie‘s legs.

The unicorn screamed in pain as she fell to the grassy floor. Blood pouring from her wounds, she cried heavily and watched the car park. The driver then got out. It seemed to be a mare, but whoever it was was covered in body armor with a motorcycle helmet. She then began heading towards the downed mare and pulled out a gun. Normally, Trixie would be afraid, but not right now. Being shot and killed meant new legs and no pain. The driver stepped up to her and, per the norm, shot the unicorn in the face.

Trixie opened her eyes and wiggled her toes with a smile. “This is... really weird...” Deciding to play the game, she looked at her map where Rainbow had marked their base. “That’s not too far...” Trixie told herself. “I need a weapon, though...”

Being in another forest, she found it rather easy to gather enough sticks and rocks to make an axe. Finding a nice tree, she began work on gathering some wood. She soon had enough materials to make a wooden sword. When it magically poofed into her right hand, she jumped.

“Oh, it’s... longer than I thought,” she muttered.

Gripping the weapon with both hands, she face a few practice swings. She knew she wouldn’t be able to defend herself from those like, who she decided to call, the Driver, but animals? They shouldn’t be a problem.

Now, that she was armed, she started running in the direction of the base’s waypoint marker.

Twilight drove up to the top of Lookout Point, a mountain near their base with a good view of the area. Parking, she pulled out binoculars and began looking towards Origin Valley.

She spotted Trixie emerging from the small forest area with a wooden sword. Twilight smiled and looked a little further away, towards Chrysalis’ tower. Letting out a gasp, she spotted a few changelings flying towards the blue unicorn.

“Shit,” the alicorn grunted, before tossing her binoculars into the vehicle and hopping out.

Without hesitation, she leaped off the mountain and flapped her wings. When she was almost above the area between the changelings and Trixie, she equipped a knife in each hand. Curling her wings, she went into a divebomb.

Aiming carefully, she threw her knives, hitting two of the changelings in the head. This got the attention of the other five as they all pulled out a gun. Twilight smirked and put a spherical force field around her. Bullets began ricocheting off the shield before she slammed into one of the changelings. From her perspective, Twilight had a front row seat as the changeling body was crushed into a bloody mess.

Pulling out a smoke grenade, Twilight dropped her shield and the it. When it went off, the other four changelings began sitting at the cloud. The alicorn dropped to the grass before equipping an assault rifle. The moment she heard them start to reload, she leaped through the smoke cloud and whacked two of them with the side of her gun before shooting the other two.

One of the changelings managed to tackle her to the ground. It rolled her over so it was beneath her and she was on her back on top, its arm around her neck to hold her down. She watched as the other changeling finished reloading. Smirking, she pulled out a handgun and rolled over just as the bullets started flying. She heard the changeling on top of her grunt as it got shot up. The last changeling stopped firing, realizing what it had done. Using this moment to her advantage, Twilight aimed her gun behind her where she saw the big, before firing a few times. When she heard the body drop to the ground, she pushed the corpse off of her with a grunt.

Standing up, she picked up her rifle and holstered her gun. Looking over, she spotted Trixie, who was watching her in disbelief. Smiling, Twilight put the rifle away and ran up to the unicorn. When she wrapped her arms around her, she could feel Trixie hug back.

“Oh, it’s been so long,” Twilight sighed.

“I-It’s only been a couple weeks,” Trixie said as they broke the hug.

“Time works differently here,” Twilight explained. “For us, it’s been over 5 months.”

The unicorn’s eyes went wide. “Five months?! Wh-What about Starlight?!”

Twilight’s smile faded. “I’ll tell you once we get back.” They then heard a sound where the changelings came from, only to see more changelings coming. “Shit. We need to get you back. Now,” she urged, pulling Trixie into a run as she headed back towards Lookout Point. "I'm not letting you die again."

"Well, that's great, but... what's the plan?" Trixie asked, looking over her shoulder at the changelings.

Twilight looked up at the mountain top. "We can't Fast Travel while enemies are nearby... We have to get back to the top of Lookout Point. Grab my shoulders and hold on tight," she said, sticking her wings out.

"Oh, gosh," Trixie whimpered, knowing what her friend had planned.

When Twilight felt the mare's hands on her shoulders, she quickly stopped. "Wrap your legs around mine." Trixie did so, just before Twilight launched up into the air. The unicorn screamed for the first few seconds before she managed to wrap her arms around Twilight's neck.

"Don't drop me!" the showmare screamed loudly.

Twilight looked back at the changelings, seeing them flying after them. Growling softly, she flapped her wings faster. She then quickly spun upside-down and wrapped her arms around Trixie, holding her so they were now face-to face. "I need to try something," she said. "And, I need you to trust me."

Trixie was still wide-eyed from the sudden position change, but nodded. "A-Alright," she squeaked.

Twilight smiled lightly before throwing Trixie up into the air, watching the mare close her eyes tightly. She then pulled out two handguns and aimed at the changelings, firing off a couple rounds. She managed a direct head shot to the two that were nearest. She then holstered her gun just in time to catch the unicorn.

Trixie opened her eyes when she felt herself land back on Twilight. "Don't do that again."

Twilight giggled and flapped harder. Arriving at the off-road vehicle, she dropped Trixie into the passenger seat before dropping herself into the driver's seat. She then slammed on the gas, sending the car flying off the mountain towards their base. As they fell, Twilight hit a button, making a parachute shoot up from the center of the vehicle.

"What the hell?" Trixie asked as they started to fall slower.

"It's an upgrade," Twilight explained quickly before standing up. Turning around to face the remaining changelings, she pulled out her guns again. "Do you have enough wood to make a bed?"

"U-Uh, a really cheap one," the unicorn answered.

"Any one will do," Twi said, firing her guns. "When we get back to base, set it down. Then, you'll respawn there."

"Got it," Trixie said, confirming she understood.

One of the changelings aimed at Trixie and fired. The bullet hit the mare's hand, causing half of it to burst in a small, bloody explosion. The unicorn screamed in pain as Twilight quickly looked down at her.

"Shit," she gasped. "Explosive rounds." She pulled out some bandages and unwrapped them. Quickly sitting down, she wrapped the mare's hand up. "You need to hang in there and craft that bed. Got it? It's your only chance."

Trixie sniffled as tears ran down her face. "I-I'll try... But, the pain, Twilight... Why me?"

"We've all had to deal with this," Twilight explained. "The higher level you are, the less likely chance explosive bullets will do this. You'll also be able to regenerate at some point, too. But, for now... make that bed before you die again."

Trixie nodded shakily as Twilight stood up again. The ground was getting closer and so were the changelings. The alicorn sighed and aimed her guns up, shooting holes in the parachute. The lack of resistance made the vehicle land hard on the ground before Twilight used a knife to cut the parachute off. Sitting down, she slammed on the gas and took off. Just as she did, she heard bullets hit the back of the off-roader.

"Shit," she grunted, swerving the car to the side to avoid more damage. She suddenly heard a brief explosion and looked back. The whole back was on fire. "Incendiary rounds?!" She exclaimed. "Dammit!" She looked over at Trixie, who still seemed focused on ignoring the pain. "Have you made the bed yet?"

The unicorn nodded. "Y-Yeah... It's in my... inventory, or... whatever..."

"Good," Twilight sighed. "Because we're on fire."

"Honestly, I don't care anymore..." the wounded mare grunted. "Death has been the best course of action for me recently..."

The purple alicorn eyed her before firing back at the changelings. "We're almost there, Trixie. Get the bed ready."

"Uh-huh..." the blue mare groaned.

They were nearing the large walls of the base when the entire back half of the vehicle burst into flames. After a few more seconds, the snipers on the wall took out the last couple changelings. As the main gate opened, Twilight stepped on it.

"Throw your bed once we make it through," Twilight ordered as Trixie leaned over the side of the vehicle. "Get ready..."

They sped through the gate and Trixie managed to dump her bed over the edge of the vehicle just as Twilight leaped from the vehicle. As she rolled across the ground, the off-roader exploded in a ball of fire. Gasping, Twilight stood up and ran over to the burning wreckage.

"Please tell me it worked," she said, quickly running over to the bed. Luckily, Trixie got it to land correctly. Now, all Twilight had to do was wait and see...

The Fate of Starlight

After a few more seconds, Trixie appeared on the bed. She let out a loud shriek and fell off onto the ground. Twilight smiled widely and helped her up. Trixie looked at her before she looked around, feeling both awe and relief. No longer would she be randomly killed by strangers or other enemies. Now, she could feel safe.

“Where’s Starlight?” The blue mare asked, knowing she wasn’t going to like the answer. Twilight hesitated in thought before climbing out of the vehicle, Trixie following suit. “She can’t be dead, right? Because, if you die here you just come back. Believe me, I know. So, where is she?”

Twilight patted her back with a forced smile. “Walk with me...” Trixie did as told, wanting to hear what she had to say. “Starlight has been taken by Chrysalis.”

“She said that much,” Trixie replied. “Now, where is she? In that tower I saw in the distance when I first arrived?”

Twilight shrugged before sighing, clearly not wanting to say. “It’s not as easy as just barging in and taking her back. Chrysalis is just too strong. And, if you die, you lose two levels and everything you were carrying at the time. Which is the main reason I’m only Level 19... I’ve tried so many times to get her back. As have Dash, Applejack, Pinkie... Even Rarity and Fluttershy. We’ve all been killed multiple times while Chrysalis only gets stronger from our deaths.”

“Tell me how it happened,” Trixie demanded, already on the verge of tears.

Twilight saw this and sighed as they entered the building, leading the unicorn down a hallway. “Alright... Back when we first arrived here, Chrysalis attacked us nonstop. While our friends died, Chrysalis became stronger. It was no use.” Twilight then stopped and leaned against the wall, facing Trixie. “Ever seen someone explode, Trixie? Watch them burst into nothing but bloody chunks?”

Trixie took a step back and shuddered. “No, that’s... horrible...”

“Starlight did,” Twilight continued. “A young filly. Happened right in front of her. Poor thing was so scared and Starlight was trying to coax her into following. Then... the filly was... gone...”

Trixie gasped softly and covered her mouth. “N-No...”

“After the fight,” Twilight went on. “Starlight came crying to me. Saying she didn’t want anything like that to happen to another filly. Luckily, the kid respawned, but Starlight had enough. So, she turned herself in to Chrysalis. Ever since then, the attacks have stopped.”

“Why?” Asked Trixie, before gasping. “Because she’s torturing her, isn’t she?” She exclaimed, remembering how the changeling shot her fingers and toes off. “That’s why Starlight hasn’t respawned!”

Twilight hung her head a little before nodding. “That’s my fear, too. We’re just not strong enough...” She then turned and led Trixie into a room full of beds of various size and color. “Our plan is to get inside and shoot Starlight in the head so she can respawn here,” she explained, stopping at a bed with Starlight’s color scheme and cutie mark. “And, whoever gets inside needs to either escape or get killed.”

“But, if we get Starlight out,” Trixie started. “wouldn’t that make Chrysalis come after us?”

Twilight sighed and sat on the bed. “Yeah... So, we need to make absolutely sure that we can defeat her before taking her on.”

“Is anyone close enough to being able to fight her?” The blue mare asked.

“Uh, Dash, AJ, and Pinkie are around Level 15... Cadence and I are around 20...”

“What about Celestia and Luna?” Trixie asked, sitting beside the purple mare.

“They both have left to start their own bases in hopes to surround Chrysalis,” Twilight explained. “Last I checked, they were both pushing towards 25...”

“What if we recruited?” Trixie suggested. “Five others as strong as you, or stronger... and, we all charge Chrysalis at once? Even if some of us fall, one could still get a lucky hit.”

Twilight smiled. “Look who’s becoming a pro strategist.”

“I just want Starlight back,” Trixie said, giving Twilight a light smile in return.

The alicorn nodded in response. “There’s also something else I should tell you about...” Fixing her glasses, she bit her lip. “So, apparently Iris is a super pervert and made it so that the best way we can Level up our Stamina is by having sex.”

Trixie went wide-eyed. “Wh-Wh-Whaaaaat?!”

Twilight nodded. “Sex increases Stamina and Charm. Kills increase Agility and Strength. Also, sex between two magic-users gives them an additional bonus to their Magic Attack, Magic Defense, and Max Magic Points.”

“So, the quickest way for me to level up and save Starlight... is by having sex?”

“And, killing enemies,” Twilight added.

Trixie let out a deep sigh and fell backwards into the bed. "This is insane..."

"According to Iris," Twilight said as she placed a hand on the bed and turned to face Trixie. "you can be a virgin in the real world, have sex here, and then still be a virgin when you return to the real world. Any afflictions here or there don't carry over."

"I'm not worried about that..." Trixie groaned. "Starlight and I have been, uh... friends with benefits for a while now... and, I was very lonely before I met her... No, I'm concerned about whoring myself out to random ponies."

"Well," Twilight chuckled. "You can pick someone or two others to be your go-to partners for that kind of thing. Rainbow Dash occasionally has sex with Cadance and Shining Armor. Sometimes with just one or the other."

Trixie blushed and looked up at the purple alicorn. "I suppose there's you, but..." she started, propping herself up on her left hand, facing Twilight. "I can't become aroused when I'm worried about Starlight..."

The purple mare nodded and reached out, rubbing Trixie's cheek. "Just think you're having sex for Starlight. After all, we're both magic users. You could increase your magic attack and defense and the maximum amount of magic you can use. Plus Charm, which can help you out of tough encounters and also Stamina, which you need to run fast. swing melee weapons, and hold your breath while aiming guns."

Trixie blushed heavily. "That does seem... advantageous..."

"Besides," Twilight said with a smile. "I have some cool tattoos I'd like to show you."

"Tattoos?" Trixie asked with a raised eyebrow. "You?"

"They're awarded for completing certain challenges," the alicorn explained. "You can equip them on your body to show off your accomplishments. Rainbow has a ton all over her arms and legs."

Trixie bit her lip as she thought about it, before sighing. "O-Okay..."

An Easier Way To Level Up

Twilight brought Trixie up to her office where she had her own double-bed. The alicorn led the unicorn to the bed and had her sit down. "So, to break the ice, I'll show off my tattoos first."

"O-Okay..." Trixie muttered, hands by her side.

Twilight smiled and stepped up to the mare, pulling off her shirt. When she did, it vanished from her hands. With her tits on full display, she let out a sigh and cupped them. On her right breast was a tattoo of a red heart with a white plus inside. "This one is from performing 30 consecutive assists."

"I-I see..." the showmare muttered, her blush deepening.

"This," Twilight continued, turning to show her friend the bullets tattoo by her right armpit. "This is from shooting a whole bunch of bullets. They were mostly aimed at Chrysalis." Trixie stayed silent as she watched her friend strip in front of her. Twilight then turned her back to the blue mare and slipped her shorts down to expose her butt. On her left cheek was a tattoo of a changeling skull. "That one's from killing 100 changelings in a single day."

"Wow, you've... been busy," Trixie said as she stared at the purple butt before her. She could almost make out Twilight's marehood.

Twilight looked over her shoulder at the shy mare and smiled, turning to face her. Leaning in, she placed her hands on the bed next to Trixie, causing the blue mare to have to lean back a little. "I need to help you loosen up first. You seem tense."

"I-I just never thought that... we'd be doing this together..." Trixie replied with a light smile.

Twilight leaned in more, making Trixie fall on her back. The alicorn chuckled and rubbed Trixie's knees. "Scoot up on the bed. I want you nice and comfy."

Trixie nodded and did as asked, her feet now up on the bed. Twilight smiled and gently picked up Trixie's left foot with her left hand, running her right palm over the blue sole. Eyeing the unicorn, she smirked and brought the foot to her own crotch. Trixie let out a shuddered gasp when she felt the wet slit. Twilight then began to lightly grind against it, letting out soft moans.

"Come on," the alicorn cooed. "You do it," she said, letting go of Trixie's foot while stopping her own movements. "Rub me..."

Starting to sweat from both nervousness and arousal, Trixie slowly moved her feet, feeling her friend's juices smear all over her sole. Deciding to explore a little, she slid her toes to the slit and use her big toe to probe the pussy. Twilight let out a moan when she felt the digit enter her. Smiling, she gripped her own breasts.

"Getting into it?" Twilight asked, before licking her lips.

"I-It's intense..." the blue mare replied, pushing her toe in a little more.

The alicorn chuckled and pulled the foot away before dropping to her knees. Winking, she wrapped her lips around the big toe and sucked her own juices off. She then dragged her tongue up the sole to completely clean the foot off. Standing up, she let out a sigh, before crawling on top of the unicorn.

"You are adorable," Twilight moaned, leaning in to kiss Trixie's neck. "I'm gonna need you to get naked now."

Chrysalis left a room through a wooden door, now standing in a hallway made with stone walls. She had blood splattered on her face, hands, and feet. Locking the door, she let out a deep breath before turning to head down the hall. When she did, she saw Iris walking towards her. "What are you doing here?"

The griffin held her scythe behind her neck, resting "Having fun with Starlight again?" She asked.

"It never gets boring," Chrysalis replied with an evil smile. "Now, what are you doing here?"

Iris chuckled and stepped right up the changeling. "Well, I was getting bored out there in the real world. I can waste 5 minutes there... meaning I can waste about 2 hours here... if you're interested..."

Chrysalis smirked and let out a soft chuckle. "And, you think you can handle me?"

The griffin smiled and backed up against the wall, sliding her right foot up and pressing it against the wall. "When I was just a young griff, I heard stories of the changelings. How tthey would take the form of others and seduce their loved ones. I admit... it sort of turned me on." This made Chrysalis cross her arms with a grin. "I always wondered what would happen if one seduced me. I probably wouldn't have been able to handle one out there... Back then. But here and now? You are limited by your stats while mine are always maxed out."

"Well, if it's a good fucking you want," Chrysalis started as she took a step forward. She was stopped short when she felt the blade of Iris' scythe against her neck.

"I think..." Iris said, slowly pulling her scythe away. "I'd like to dominate you first..."

Chrysalis smirked. "Well, aren't we the cocky one?"

Iris shrugged. "Figured I may as well take this opportunity since it has so graciously presented itself..." She then stepped up to Chrysalis, grabbed her by the arm, and forced her against the wall.

"Holy shit," Chrysalis grunted, feeling her tits squish up against the stone. "You really are strong here."

The griffin smiled and leaned in to kiss the back of the changeling's neck. "Remember when you called me cocky?"

Chrysalis was about to reply when she felt something poke her butt hole. “Impressive...”

Trixie lay naked on the bed, panting heavily as she watched her stamina bar slowly fill back up. Twilight had already recovered and was fixing her top.

“I never knew you were like that,” Trixie panted.

Twilight smiled and grabbed the blue mare’s clothes, setting them beside her on the bed. “I’ve learned a few things in this world. Now, get dressed and I’ll teach you a few things.”

Trixie held up a finger. “One moment... Almost there...”

Iris was leaning up against a wall while Chrysalis was cleaning her griffin cock. The queen, herself, had cum splattered all over her butt and back.

“So, what is your plan?" Chrysalis asked once she was finished cleaning the rod. Sitting up, she licked her lips. "You plan on conquering the real world and then destroying this world with your enemies inside?"

"What?" Iris asked with a chuckle. "Why would destroy everything I've built?"

Chrysalis raised an eyebrow and crossed her arms. "Then, why?"

The griffin smiled. "When I was growing up, I was an outcast," she explained. "This world became my escape and not it shall be their prison. Killing them would be too finite. Letting them struggle to survive and suffer in the knowledge that their world is under my control? That sounds much nicer to me."

"Uh-huh..." the changeling muttered. "I hope you don't plan on leaving me in here."

Iris tapped the floor with her talons before making her cock disappear. She then got to her knees and leaned in close to Chrysalis. "That depends. Would you be able to leave Starlight in here? I won't risk taking her out of here."

The changeling queen hesitated in thought. "Is there a way to cancel out her magic?"

The griffin sighed and stood up, picking up her staff. "Some day, hopefully soon... you'll have to choose between me... and Starlight."

Chrysalis watched the griff walk away before vanishing in a flash of light. The changeling groaned and got to her feet. "Shit..."
