Sci Twi drove her sickle down on the ice cold tundra with a powerful strike. The chill of the freezing wall caused her to shudder from the touch. She needed to find Sunset Shimmer, it had been a week since she disappeared. There was a terrible wind that made Sci Twi’s hair shake, but a furry coat kept her body warm. An immeasurable climb tormented her mind wrought with polar bears and frostbite. Her cheeks felt so solid and hard that she dared not touch them.
She continued onward, slam after crack of hard ice as she put all her dainty muscles to use. It was painful to think of the cold since it was everywhere. There was the launch gun in her pocket, but she needed to get far up enough to use it to get down. Each harmful smash of her claw shook her arms. Now at a summit, Sci Twi saw the sight of white fur and horrible teeth and white bear claws. It roared as it was ready to eat her alive. She bent down and leaped with a wild anger in her face. The bear stampeded to her at full speeds. Arms going up and down at full rotation. Sci Twi smashed her climbing claw right atop his head. A tear went down his skull, untill a clean slice divided the bear in half. Blood covered her as she slid past the fresh meat, between the two bear sides.
Sci Twi licked her blood drenched hand with a smile and went to the organs of the bear. She rummaged through it with her whole arm and pulled out its heart that was twice the size of her hand. She squeezed its heart with her horrific strength and drank its juices with a spread apart mouth. It tasted of copper and liquid gameyness. It thrilled her that a creature dared to challenge her in these frozen wastes. If only she found more helpless victims to consume. After that, it was back to work.
“Mmm, tasty!” she said before she engorged the rest of the heart with both hands. Each bite resounded with loud crunches.
Now fed and much warmer than before, some bright color in her cheeks, Sci Twi kicked the bear’s cleaved corpse and began climbing again. Now that she was close enough, with a swift pull, she fired the mechanical invention and it dented deep into the top edge of the ice top. She was so happy as the metallic line carried her up. There would be Sunset Shimmer waiting for her. Ever since her disappearance, Sci Twi was on the lookout for any semblance of a clue to where she might be. A single note sat on Sunset Shimmer’s laptop.
I’m on a mountain
And so, Sci Twi with her science prowess had to find her long lost friend. This mountain was the longest mountain in all of the human world. It had to have her doing something at the top. With the line of the gun doing its thing, she moved up to the top and found a thing on top. It was green and shaped like a long oval. Sci Twi’s eyebrows were raised. She did not find the Sunset Shimmer she was looking for, it was strange to her.
“Look, turn me over, it's me Sunset Shimmer!” said a disembodied voice.
Sci Twi looked at the green thing and used her claw to turn it over.
“I’m PICKLE SHIMMER TWILIGHT!” said Sunset Shimmer as a pickle. Her human face and hair sprung out from the pickle like some kind of weird pickle toy.
“What the heck, how did you turn yourself into a pickle, and why are you on top of a mountain!?” said Sci Twi.
Sunset Shimmer tried to move her body, but she was a pickle.
“I thought I could prank someone with my epic prank Sci Twi, I thought it would be epic and funny!” she said.
Sci Twi scratched her head, her eyes spelled rage but were more confused over this than anything else.
“You set me on a wild goose chase just to find you turned into a pickle on top of a frozen mountain? I had to fight a bear and slice it in half to find you!” said Sci Twi. “That poor bear is being besieged by penguins and it's all your fault!”
Sunset Shimmer was not amused. She knew that this was epic and funny, how could she not see the comedy in this. All she wanted was to be cool like those awesome online tubers that make hilarious videos. Oh wait, she forgot the camcorder.
“Damnit” she said.
Sci Twi picked up pickle shimmer, her skin was cold by the touch. She carried her pickle friend in her coat and leaped onto the metal line with ease. Her hands slid down until she was at the bottom of the mountain where a magical portal was sitting on the side. They went inside and disappeared into its unending swirls.

“See that's why you don’t get overwhelmed by the internet” said Sci Twi with a smile. “Just make sure you don’t use the transmodifier again for something so stupid”.
Sunset Shimmer sat on a reversed chair and bent over it. Ever since she got a hold of the internet a week ago, she learned so much information that she couldn’t even fathom in Equestria. If only they had such a hub of collected information like that there. And all the funny videos they showcased here. It was some type of avant garde sort of humor that she could get into easily. Still, it probably wasn’t a good idea to turn oneself into a pickle in a frozen wasteland. She was after all stuck on top of a mountain for a week.
“Fine, I’ll just keep myself busy with more videos or something…” said Sunset as she walked away from the laboratory. “I’m sorry for that”.
With an evil smile, Sunset unveiled a mechanical stick in her pocket with electrical power at its top. In her other pocket, a camcorder, and a determined step in her way.
