Chapter 1: The Epic Opening

Our story starts as a black screen, where the words, 13encorp Productions Presents, fade in.

After fading out, we zoom into a city, with the zooming ending after reaching a bank. The camera pans onto an inactive alarm for a couple seconds, and then…

BAM!!! The alarm sounds off, and the character of Benjamin Marshall, yours truly, dashes out of the bank with two bags of Netherite, Diamonds, Emeralds, and Gold in hand.

Once outside, Ben slides on the hood of his escape car, and swoops right in.

“STEP ON IT!!!”, Ben screamed, and the escape driver drove slowly.

“Bro, why are you driving this slow?”

“Because I can’t handle speed”, he replied with a deadpan expression.

“Ugh, I don’t have time for this!”, Ben announced as he pulled out a pistol and SHOT his escape driver in the head, kicked his body out the window, and jumped to the driver’s seat as he whipped on a pair of sunglasses.

“Let’s race!”

Ben stepped onto the gas pedal and played an instrumental of the Mine Turtle song on his radio as the car zoomed at 203 MPH. The chase was on.

Along the road, Ben encountered multiple obstacles. First, he had to ram through multiple vehicles, such as a Semi-Truck, a School Bus, a Star Wars car, a Ramp Buggy, a Fire Engine, a 6 Wheeled Truck, My Mom’s Car, a Cement Truck, an American Tank, a Russian Tank, a Monster Truck, a Dump Truck, a Lego Car, a Mountain Bike, a Mario Kart, a Lightning McQueen, a Formula One Car, and a Bugatti. Though, he had to turn once he saw a Main Battle Tank. Unfortunately, he crashed into something much worse, a Peel P50…

This caused his car to fly though the air and crash into a bunch of Sonic the Hedgehog characters as if they were bowling pins (In case you don’t know, I’m referencing Gmod here).

He kept driving though, and then he passed an IKEA, where he shot a blue portal onto the sidewalk using his portal gun.

He passed through the poor part of the city next, and he threw out one of his bags, giving them plenty of money in the process, like Robin Hood.

Soon, he made it to the amusement park he built in Roller Coaster Tycoon, and he crashed his car onto one of the roller coasters. With the police on his tail, he stepped onto the gas anyway, and his tires were torn apart by the tracks, and the wheels attached loosely to the coaster as his car flew up the tracks, and drove through the coaster.

But then, the car went down an EXTREMELY steep hill, and it was launched up the next hill as if it was a ramp.

Ben had no choice but to jump out at the last second with the money and his car crashed into a flying airplane’s turbine, and Ben launched an orange portal onto a floating dock within the lake.

After all that, he wound up in front of the Ikea as the airplane crashed into the building, killing millions of NPC’s (TearDown Reference). The chase finished with a pair of Sunglasses falling onto Ben’s eyes.

The police ran up to Ben, but being stupid, they thought he was a different person just because he was wearing sunglasses.

“Excuse me sir, have you seen a stick figure with blond spiky hair racing through the city with a bag of money?”, they asked, with Ben replying with, “No I haven’t sir, but why don’t you check the local McDonalds? That place seems pretty suspicious to me!”

“Right! Let’s go men!”

And they just ran off, as an invisible van skid in front of Ben and his friends from Roblox greeted him with grins.

“So, you got the money?”, they asked, to which Ben showed them the bag.

Ben got into the van and they drove it into an alleyway, where they thought it would be a good place to hide.

Within the van, Ben dropped the cash onto the van’s floor and his friends cheered at his success.

“Wow, we’re even richer!”, his friends eagerly exclaimed, with Ben replying with, “Of course we are! With me around, we’ll keep winning!”

“So, shall we head back to our headquarters and put our winnings in the cash pile?”

“Heck yeah we shall!”

And the car drove off, before a VIRUS emerged out of the sewer and slithered off screen.

Chapter 2: Finally at Ponyville

Meanwhile in an alternate die-mention, we have the Cutie Mark Crusaders (again) goofing off. What are they doing you may ask? Well, Apple Bloom and Scootaloo are of course stuffing Sweetie Belle with marshmallows since I love Sweetie Belle’s round, large, and bulging belly (which was about the size of a basketball at the moment).

“This feels amazing! Thank you guys!”, Sweetie Belle sighed as Apple Bloom rubbed her belly.

“Hey no problem!”, Apple Bloom replied. “You deserve this, you adorable marshmallow!”

“More like a pillow!”, Scootaloo shouted as she flopped herself onto Sweetie Belle’s belly. “As I sure wish you were my pillow right now!”

Just then, their cutie marks were flashing, letting them know, they were being called to the cutie map.

“Oh my goodness! We need to get to Twilight's castle!”, Apple Bloom announced.

AB and Scoots ran, but stopped as soon as they saw Sweetie having a harder time walking, so they had to go back and carry her.

“Sorry guys”, Sweetie Belle moped, to which Apple Bloom replied with, “No, it’s our fault. We’re the ones who gave you the idea”

“Sure…”, Scootaloo grunted.

Once at Twilight’s castle, the Crusaders noticed the Mane Six and Spike had also been called to the map.

“Wait, you guys have been called too?”, Rainbow Dash asked, to which Twilight replied, “Um, yeah! Their cutie marks are on the map!”

“Excuse me Twilight?”, Sweetie Bell asked. “Can you please use your magic to get rid of my balloon belly?”

“Sure, then we can start this meeting”, she answered.

Twilight tried to use her magic on Sweetie, but Pinkie was eating cupcakes with her mouth wide open, making it difficult for Twilight to think.

“Pinkie, would it kill you to close your mouth when you-”, she started before accidentally zapping Sweetie Belle at the wrong moment.

So instead of removing Sweetie’s balloon belly, she inflated her INto a balloon. Sweetie Belle was now large and spherical with her hooves being rolled out, and her neck rolled below her head. She was completely immobile, but she was thankfully filled with air rather than helium, so she stuck to the ground.

“PINKIE!!”, Twilight yelled.

“Oops! I’m sorry Twilight”, Pinkie replied. “But hey, being a balloon is fun, right?”

“This actually does feel quite nice!”, Sweetie Belle claimed before Twilight deflated Sweetie Belle to her original size. And now we can actually look at the cutie map.

“Alright, so apparently, the map called all 10 of us into action”, Twilight announced. “Though, I’m not sure if this is a friendship problem. It seems to be something a little different…”

“Who do you think such a thought?”, Applejack asked.

“Because it’s glowing orange and yellow, plus the location on this map is leading us to the castle’s basement”

And so, the ten characters walked down into the basement of the castle, and what they saw shocked them to tartarus and back.

It was a laptop with a golden logo on top. The logo was a star within a circle, sorta like a sheriff's badge, and there was an orange B in the center that kind of looked like a 13. It was MY laptop!

“Woah, is that a laptop?”, Pinkie Pie asked.

Yes it is a laptop, Pinkie Pie. What do you think it is, a giant piece of gum wrapped in tinfoil?

“Should we open it?”, Rainbow Dash asked.

“I dunno!”, Applejack replied. “I don’t trust this hunk of metal!”

“No!”, Twilight demanded. “If the cutie map told us to come down here, it must be important!”

And so Twilight opened the laptop using her magic, and of course Pinkie screamed at the log-in screen, causing everyone to stare at her.

“What? None of us have actually seen this thing in this basement!”, she claimed in an attempt to defend herself.

Thankfully for Twilight, she didn’t need to type in a password. She just needed to guess the pin, which she did first try!

“Astonishing job, Twilight!”, Rarity congratulated.

And then they saw the wallpaper, which had various characters on it. Such as Yoshi, Tails, Classic Tails, Heather, Alejandro, Bill Cipher, a Creeper, Cooper Collins, Skully and Winger, Orange Bird, Carla Bia and Tiago, Susan and Mary Test, Stewie Griffin, Ice Cube, Teardrop, Giga Nano Pico and Tera, and to everypony’s surprise, the Crusaders themselves, wearing pajamas nonetheless.

“Woah, we’re on this laptop!”, Sweetie Belle exclaimed, with Scootaloo replying with, “Cool! Even if we are wearing those pajamas…”

“Hey, how come I’M not on this wallpaper?!”, Rainbow complained.

“That’s not important, Rainbow!”, Twilight scolded. “Who’s that guy in the middle of this wallpaper?”

Everypony looked at the stick figure with the golden spiky hair, and as soon as all ten of them stared into his eyes, the two logos on the upper left and upper right sides of the wallpaper started glowing, and winds blew REALLY hard within the basement, frightening everypony.

“TWILIGHT, WHAT DID YA DO?!”, Applejack exclaimed.

“I DIDN’T DO ANYTHING!!”

But then Spike started to float upwards.

“WOAH, WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME?!”, Spike shouted as he tried to fly away from the laptop, to no success.

“OH NO SPIKE!!”, Rarity yelled.

“NOT AGAIN!”, Twilight exclaimed.

Spike was getting sucked into the laptop’s screen, and the other ponies tried to grab him in a similar fashion to the Season 4 episode, Power Ponies, except with three more ponies to help. But that didn’t do much, as they all kept getting sucked into the laptop anyways, one pony after another. And before anypony knew it, everypony was inside the laptop.

Chapter 3: Into the Laptopverse! (or whatever)

We have a shot of the open laptop with the wallpaper intact, and then we zoom into the camera at a quick pace, where we see the actual inside of the laptop.

As we pass through the camera’s lens, we see a couple 13encorp Productions logos spinning like gears, and after passing them, we see a giant space with a bunch of oddly shaped gears, cogs, wheels, and other gizmos within.

Then we zoom into the Google Chrome Logo, where we pass the YouTube site, the DeviantArt site, the Vyond Website, Wikipedia, TV Tropes, and other websites I bookmarked on my LapTop.

And near Google, we pass ClipChamp, Bandicam, Source Filmmaker, Wrapper Offline, Steam, and other pieces of software I own.

Finally, we enter the Game District, a MASSIVE area with all the games I own on my laptop, including Minecraft, Roblox, Fortnite, Garry’s Mod, Grand Theft Auto V, Roller Coaster Tycoon 3, BeamNG.drive, Portal 2, TearDown, and… PS5 Simulator 🙄.

In the center of all that though, we have the headquarters of 13enjamin Marshall himself. A giant palace with arcade machines, unlimited junk food, bowling and miniature golf, indoor theme parks and water parks, and much more epic crap. The most impressive thing in the palace, however, is a giant river filled with all the cash Ben stole from those greedy corporations.

Benjamin himself sat in his GAMER chair in a circular room, looking up to the Heavens and waiting for ten characters to fall into his palace.

And just like that, pixels swirled through the air, and slammed together to form the Mane 6, the CMC, and Spike. Unfortunately, the key words here are, “the air”, so after they were formed, they crash landed onto the ground.

“Owwwwww…”, Twilight moaned.

“Finally, you’re here!”, Benjamin greeted. “You know I’ve waited a while for you to arrive!”

“Who are you?”, Twilight asked as she struggled to get up.

“Oh, my apologies! The name’s Benjamin Marshall! CEO of 13encorp Productions!”

“What in tarnation is this place?!”, Applejack yelled.

“Welcome, to the magical world, of, my, LAPTOP!!!”, Ben announced, while throwing his arms up.

“Eh, this place seems normal enough”, Rainbow Dash shrugged.

After an explanation for world of the laptop (For you, the audience, the laptop is essentially like the Oasis from Ready Player One, Free City from Free Guy, the ServerVerse 3000 From Space Jam: A New Legacy, or the internet from Ralph Breaks the Internet (even though that movie sucks, and yes, I actually DO like Space Jam: A New Legacy))

Cue a cutaway where a Brony takes this fanfiction seriously and yelling, “OH SCREW YOU!!!”

Back to the story though…

“Wow, just wow”, Twilight murmured. “All of this was just sitting inside a piece of technology?!”

“Sure”, Ben replied. “However I called you guys here for a reason!”

Just then, the center of the floor twisted and a table emerged from the ground, and a map of the laptop appeared in 3D pixels.

“You see, there’s a virus roaming around my laptop!”, he explained. “If I don’t capture it soon, lord knows what it could do to my paradise! So I got the cutie map to call all ten of you, and I got my laptop to spawn inside Twilight’s basement!”

“Wait a second, how did you do all that?”, Fluttershy asked Ben, where he replied with, “I have special powers themed around pixels and code!”

“But anyways, I’m gonna need you guys to split up! And earlier, this map told me the best combinations!”

“Okay, what groups are we splitting into?”, Twilight asked.

“Well, the map says that for the Mane Six, you will split up into three groups of two! And it seems to be the pairings you normally get during your little “friendship problems”. So Pinkie Pie and Rarity are a group, Applejack and Fluttershy are a group, and Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash are a group! Boom! EZ!”

And so the Mane Six split into their respective groups, but then Apple Bloom stood up.

“What about us?”, AB asked while standing in front of Sweetie and Scoots.

“Do we get to work with our respective sisters?”, Sweetie questioned.

“Yeah!”, Scoots shouted with excitement.

“Actually…”, Ben started. “You’re gonna work with the sister you SHOULD’VE worked with in the Season Six episode, the Carts Before the Ponies, because had you worked with them there and then, the stupid conflict wouldn’t have started!”

“Um, okay?”, Apple Bloom shrugged.

“So Scootaloo, you’ll be working with Rarity and Pinkie Pie!”, Ben announced as his Handy Helpers pushed Scoots towards her group.

“WHAT?!! Why do I have to work with these girly girls?!”, she complained.

“Because I said so!”, Benjamin demanded. “And please be nice to your group! They’re not complaining about working with a tomboy!”

“Fine! I’m sorry…”, Scoots moped as she stared at the ground blushing out of embarrassment.

“Sweetie Belle, you’ll be working with Fluttershy and Applejack!”, he announced again as the Handy Helpers pushed Sweetie Belle to her group.

“Sweet! I get to be with the warm and safe ones!”, Sweetie sighed.

“Last but definitely not least, Apple Bloom, you’ll be working with Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash!”, Ben anno- okay you get the point.

“Welp Apple Bloom”, Twilight proudly explained, “Welcome to the leaders!”

“WOOHOO!!!”, Apple Bloom shouted.

“Now without further ado, here are the locations your groups need to search in!”, Benjamin explained. “Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Scootaloo will search in Portal 2 and Roller Coaster Tycoon 3! Applejack, Fluttershy, and Sweetie Belle will search in Teardown and BeamNG.Drive! Finally, the most dangerous areas of all, Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, and Apple Bloom will search in Grand Theft Auto V and Garry’s Mod! Understood?”

“Yo, what about me?”, Spike asked.

“Oh, YOU’LL be searching in Minecraft, Roblox, and Fortnite with ME!”, Ben told Spike.

“Oh, okay”

Spike walked up to me and I lifted my pointer finger.

“We need to save this laptop from the virus! Understand?”, I explained.

“We do”, Twilight answered. “We’re not gonna let you down!”

Chapter 4: How PC Games Actually Work

The journey began, with all the groups splitting off to their areas.

First things first, the Pinkaritloo group (or whatever you’d like to call them) walked through a wheat field hoping to eventually find the entrance to Portal 2, which is a shed.

“Are we there yet?”, Pinkie asked.

“No!”, Rarity answered.

Scootaloo asked the same question, and got the same answer. I think you know where this is going.

“I SWEAR I WILL TURN US AROUND!!”, Rarity shouted.

Just then, the trio of ponies saw Tennis Ball from BFDI wearing Harold’s glasses from TDI.

“Yo, what’s good gals?”, he slanged.

“Woah! A walking talking tennis ball? Now I’ve seen everything!”, Pinkie obviously exclaimed.

“Seriously?”, Rarity asked in a deadpan tone. “Out of everything YOU do and we see on a daily basis, THIS is where you draw the line?”

“Of course not!”, she replied. “I was just kidding around!”

“Whatever, anyways! Wanna see something cool?”, TB asked as he pointed to the right, intriguing Pinkie and Scoots.

“Woah, what is that place?!”, Scootaloo asked with excitement.

“That’s the amusement park Benjamin built in Roller Coaster Tycoon 3!”, Tennis Ball replied. “Pretty cool, huh?”

“LET’S GO!!!”, Pinkie shouted as she and Scoots ran towards the park before Rarity froze them using her magic, and floated them back to her.

“No girls! We can’t go there yet!”, Rarity scolded. “We’re looking for the virus! Plus, if the virus was in that park, somebody would’ve noticed by then!”

“But Rarity!!”, Pinkie Pie and Scootaloo whined.

“NO!”, she demanded.

“Hey, you don’t have to go to the park!”, Tennis Ball offered. “But you could at least check out my mad skills!”

That’s when Tennis Ball started acting like a ninja, annoying Scootaloo and causing her to push him over.

“Bro, stop acting stupid!”, Scootaloo complained.

“Aw, Seriously?!”, Tennis Ball shouted.

“Mister, we’re so sorry!”, Rarity said as she lifted Tennis Ball back onto his feet.

“It’s fine ma’am”, he replied. “I’ve experienced much worse”

Meanwhile with the Appluttelle Group (or whatever you wanna call them, again), they sat on an airplane from the game, TearDown, that traveled to BeamNG.Drive.

“Are you sure this plane is safe?”, Sweetie Belle asked, to which Applejack replied, “Why are ya worried?

“Well, this place is all blocky, and nobody else on this plane is even blinking!”

“Well, Benjamin said this place is an actual video game”, Fluttershy explained. “This must be the artstyle of the game, and everybody else on this place are npc’s!

“Besides, wouldn’t you know this place is a game, since you play PonyCraft with Button Mash?”, Applejack asked.

“Oh screw you!”, said an anonymous voice.

That anonymous voice though was an actual player, and he pulled out his flamethrower, clearly being pissed about the lame pun. (and yes, this is an apology for all the dumb puns I made in my previous stories)

“OH MA GOODNESS RUN!!!”, Applejack shouted as she, Flutter, and Sweetie jumped out the emergency exit.

The trio of ponies carefully walked onto the airplane’s wing, and thankfully, the wind-drag settings were turned off, so they didn’t fly off.

Unfortunately, after they opened the door, things started flying out of the airplane, and the cockpit started beeping.

That’s when the player started throwing pipe bombs, and the wing of the plane was falling apart. It wasn’t until a bomb was thrown into one of the turbines did the plane start diving.

Fortunately, Fluttershy is not stupid, so she remembered she was a pegasus and grabbed Applejack and swooped under Sweetie Belle catching them at the last second.

“Woah, thanks Fluttershy!”, Applejack said.

Fluttershy carried them down, and they landed in BeamNG.Drive as planned.

“Welp, looks like we made it!”, Fluttershy announced as she looked around the city.

Meanwhile meanwhile with the Leader’s group, Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, and Apple Bloom are surrounded by approximately 28 players. One of them managed to chain a lock onto Twilight’s horn and both Twilight’s and Rainbow’s wings, leaving the trio of ponies defenseless.

“Are you ready to die?!”, one of the players asked, to which Apple Bloom shouted, “NO!!”

“Oh, then I’ll come back later”, he said before one of the other players grabbed his collar.

“Any last words?”

“I AM WAY FASTER THAN SONIC THE HEDGEHOG!!”, Rainbow Dash yelled.

Just then, one of the players was shot dead. And who shot the player? Miles “Tails” Prower (his Sonic Adventure 2 counterpart, except his design is a combination of his movie design, and his Sonic Boom TV Show design)

“Oh my goodness!”, Twilight exclaimed.

“Oh, phew”, one of the other players mumbled. “We only have to fight Tails the cowardly fox!

“THIS IS NOT SONIC FORCES!!!”, Tails shouted as he pulled out his wrench. “I’M, NOT, SCARED!!!”

Cue an epic fight between Tails and all the players. Tails kicked each of their butts, assaulted their heads, and much more. As soon as ⅔ of the players were dead, the rest of them retreated.

“Woah, thank you kind fox!”, Twilight said to Tails.

“Yeah, you're welcome!”, Tails replied. “But for the record, please don’t pretend you’re BETTER than my buddy, Rainbow Dash the Pegasus!”

EXCUSE M-”, Rainbow Dash started before Twilight interrupted her with, “Well, we’re glad you saved our lives”

“Hey, don’t mention it! This kind of crap ALWAYS happens in this area! I suppose you’re searching for the virus, right?”

“Actually, yeah!”, AB answered. “Can you please search for the virus with us?”

“Sorry, but I’m busy with something else!”, Tails replied. “There’s a greater evil within this place, and I’m trying to find that!”

“Wait a second”, Rainbow Dash said. “If you’re busy, then why the hay are you over here, saving our butts like you have plenty of free time?”

“Because you’re not from this world!”, Tails explained as he unlocked Twilight's and Rainbow’s cuffs. “People who originated from this world are able to respawn if they die! YOU guys can’t! You die, you STAY dead, FOREVER! I was only doing the right thing!”

“Okay, but more importantly”, Twilight started. “Who’s this “greater evil” you speak of?”

“I’m not sure yet, but from all the clues I’ve gathered, it’s become corrupt because of greed. It wants to keep control over what it owns. And it seems good at first glance, throwing you off your game!”

“Really, where did you find all those clues?”

“A mural that is hidden under the city of GTA V. It was difficult to translate, but I did it. All I’m saying is to please be careful! Got it?”

Chapter 5: Equalizing the Storylines

Back with Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Scootaloo, they’re in the Portal 2 shed, which will eventually lead them to the Aperture Science Laboratories Computer-Aided Enrichment Center.

Within the shed, there was a computer with about four saved games, all of which were completed 100%.

“Okay, so what do we do now?”, Rarity asked.

“I dunno”, Pinkie bluntly blurted out.

“I think we need to start a new game”, Scootaloo explained. “Though, I think we should go into one of the later chapters”

And so Rarity started a new game slot, and chose to play chapter 8. That’s when the elevator activated and pulled the trio down to the facility.

As soon as the elevator stopped, they caught the cutscene where Chell and GLaDOS infiltrate Wheatley and try to defeat him with the paradox. Though it wasn’t a cutscene, it was actually happening in real time.

“Hey, pardon us?”, Rarity asked the two robots and the mute human.

“Who the blazes are you guys?”, Wheately questioned, being clearly confused at the 2D colorful ponies entering his 3D realistic facility.

“You guys aren’t supposed to be here!”, GLaDOS shouted as Chell just starred with a confused expression.

“Wait, we need to ask you a question!”, Rarity said. “Have you seen a virus within th-”

“Virus? There is no bloody virus inside my laboratory!”, Wheatley interrupted.

“Yeah, because it’s most likely been CRUSHED by debris thanks to your HORRENDOUS control over the facility”, GLaDOS screamed.

“This facility is fine! You need to c-”

“EXPLOSION IMMINENT. EVACUATE FACILITY IMMEDIATELY”

“Hold on, I thought I fixed that!”, Wheatley questioned.

“WARNING: REACTOR CORE IS A-”

“There, fixed!”

Rarity and Pinkie Pie gave a passing glance at each other after that.

Meanwhile with Applejack, Fluttershy, and Sweetie Belle, they’re walking through the city from BeamNG.Drive. Looking around, the city is just utter chaos, with speeding vehicles, stores being robbed, explosions, avatars killing each other, ect.

“Oh my”, Fluttershy muttered. “This place is making me uncomfortable!”

“Don’t worry, Fluttershy!”, Applejack assured. “We’ve encountered much worse! We can do this!”

That’s when they saw a train track with a news reporter who was designed in Wrapper Offline’s Comedy World theme.

“Which car can stop a train?”, she asked the audience as a lamborghini crashed into an upcoming train. Cue a sequence where a bunch of vehicles crash into a train.

“Dump Truck! Lego Car! School Bus! Main Battle Tank! Mario Kart! NasCar! Second Train! Cement Truck! Bentley Limo! Dababy Car! Monster Truck! Big SUV! Soccer Mom’s Van! Peel P50!”, she narrated as those respective vehicles crashed into the train, all of which were demolished in the process, except for the Main Battle Tank and the Peel P50.

“Wow”, Sweetie Belle bluntly muttered before taking a step back, accidentally making another player throw a grenade at his own car.

“OH NO!!!”, the player screamed. “I PAYED 500,000 IN GAME DOLLARS FOR THAT THING!!!”

“Oops, sorry mister…”, Sweetie apologized. “Maybe you can respawn you-”

“SHUT UP!!! SHUT UP!!! SHUT UP!!!”, the player screamed at Sweetie Belle. “YOU’RE GONNA PAY FOR THAT!!!”

That’s when he pulled out a baseball bat and started ASSAULTING her.

“OH MY GOODNESS!!”, Applejack and Fluttershy gasped as they witnessed the player committing child abuse.

“ANY LAST WORDS?!!”, he yelled as he held a KNIFE behind Sweetie Belle’s back.

That’s when Applejack ran up and bucked him in the kiwis, launching him into a parking garage.

“Oh, I forgot”, the player unsurprisingly realized as he looked at a Car-Spawner. “I CAN respawn my car…”

Fluttershy picked Sweetie Belle up and held her while the poor little filly whimpered.

“Sweetie Belle?”, Fluttershy asked with utter concern. “Are you alright?”

That’s when Sweetie Belle started bawling, becoming traumatized by what the player just did to her. Thankfully, Fluttershy being Fluttershy, squeezed Sweetie Belle into her arms, hugging her tightly and stroking her back.

“Don’t worry, you’re safe now”, Fluttershy told Sweetie. “Let it all out. Don’t hide your pain. We won’t let this happen to you again”

It was a long ten minutes before Sweetie Belle stopped sobbing.

“Okay…”, Sweetie stuttered as Fluttershy let her rest in her lap. “I feel better now…”

“Good job Fluttershy”, Applejack congratulated as Fluttershy rubbed Sweetie Belle’s belly.

And then with Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, and Apple Bloom, they’re exploring the sewers of the city, trying to find the mural Tails was talking about.

“Why do you think this mural is in the sewer?”, Apple Bloom asked Twilight.

“Why DON’T you think it’s here?”, Twilight asked back.

“Well, Tails didn’t explicitly say it was in the sewer, he said it was underground! That could mean an underground bunker, or a subway, or a-”

“Or an underground civilization!”, Rainbow Dash interrupted.

“Seriously?”, Twilight and AB said in unison.

“Yes seriously! Look at this place! From what we’ve seen, anything could be possible!”

“That IS true”, AB replied.

That’s when they found an abandoned subway station behind a sewer grate.

“Yo, what is that?”, Rainbow asked Twilight.

“It seems to be, abandoned…”, Twilight replied.

Twilight removed the grate and placed it onto the subway’s ground. The trio of ponies walked out and looked down the deep, dark, and potentially dangerous tunnel.

“Should we go in?”, Apple Bloom asked, to which Twilight replied, “If it leads us to the mural, then yes”

And just like that, they walked in.

And finally with Ben himself and Spike, Ben is putting a couple tools into a duffle bag before Spike walks up to him while wearing a green bathing suit.

“Bro, why are you wearing that? It’s winter!”, Ben asked Spike.

“Well, I thought I could use your swimming pool!”, Spike replied.

“Maybe later. Right now, I need to show you something important!”, Ben explained to the purple dragon.

“Well, can I still wear my trunks? They feel quite nice!”

“Sure, whatever…”

And so, the duo of spikey haired men walked up to a nether portal with a Button-Pad connected to it. Ben swiped through the options before clicking on YouTube, and the portal turned red. They walked in, and they wound up at the site in its full glory.

“Welcome to pretty much the largest site on the internet, not counting Google as that’s a search engine IMO”, Benjamin announced.

“YouTube?”, Spike asked.

“Eeyup!”, he replied. As Ben explained the inner workings of the site, we get to see what it actually looks like.

There are multiple screens with various videos, and in the center, there is a massive screen with the YouTube logo right above it. And underneath the screen, there is a hand scanner. The videos on each of the screens included the Mine Turtles song (specifically the scenes near the end of the song with the “You Stole My Lungs” gag and half of the “No Dog There” skit), Cartoonshi’s video where he discusses DreamWorks, the MineCraft Super Redstone House video, Zhong’s “Guess the Soda” short, NathanSaturnBoi’s “Jack Frost” video, TPOT 4, 90’s TV by BrewStew, and many more videos. The video in the center however is “The Vacation”, a video I created on my YouTube Channel, which you should check out!

“Wow…”, Spike muttered.

“Now that you know what this site actually is, I can show you an important video”, Ben explained as he placed his hand onto the hand scanner I mentioned earlier.

Once he placed it on, the giant screen in the middle immediately recognized the user and knew what video Ben wanted to watch. It was titled “The Plan”, created by somebody named “Canara_Animator_78”

“What’s “the Plan”?”, Spike asked.

“You’ll see”, Ben replied as the video loaded up.

The video itself started with colorful splash logos accompanied with a catchy jingle. Afterwards, the user herself appeared onscreen and sat on her antique sofa while holding a book.

“Good evening”, she began. “Today, I need to discuss a very important issue that has been plaguing the Internet as we see it right now. You see, various corporations are becoming corrupt with power. This issue started about 20 years ago, albeit being very minimal. This problem just kept getting worse however, with these corporations taxing smaller businesses around the web, putting them out of business, and keeping themselves afloat”

“Oh my…”, Spike stuttered, with Ben replying, “I know”

“Thankfully, we know how to end this problem for good”, she explained. “All you need to do is fight! Disobey the rules of the internet! Take back what’s ours! Get the money to those who need it! Create a virus for all we care! We NEED to clean the internet up for good! That’s all I wanna say, so please leave a like and Subscribe, and I’ll see you guys next time”

And just like that, the video shut off.

“So, now do you understand what’s going on?”, Ben asked. “Do you see what I must do for this dimension?”

“Wait a second”, Spike realized. “Are you saying that…YOU created the virus?!!”

“Yes”, Ben put bluntly. (what a twist! Glad I pulled it off in the middle of the story rather than the end?)

“Oh my goodness!”, Spike murmured. “Why would you do this?!”

“Because throughout all my life, I had suffered through SO MANY THINGS when living in this place!”, Ben vented. “For example, so many people on here are SO annoying! And it’s unfair when innocent people get harassed over their lifestyle, and I’m sick of it! I had no choice but to retaliate! The people in the surface world can’t actually fix this place, because they’re too busy being lazy! Heck, even this laptop’s OWNER isn’t doing anything to help! He’s too busy complaining about his life to his mommy! So I decided to take things into my own hands! I don’t care if this laptop becomes unfixable in the end! For all I know, it’s WORTH it!”

“So this entire time, you’ve just been an avatar?!”

“No, I’ve been an AI! And YOU’RE not gonna tell anyone!”

And just like that, Ben pulled out a baseball bat and knocked Spike unconscious.

Chapter 6: Watch Out, Everypony! This B**** Ain't Trustworthy!

Chapter 6: Watch Out, Everypony! This B**** Ain't Trustworthy!

Back at the Facility, Pinkie, Rare, and Scoots wind up running for their lives with Chell as Wheately tries to KILL them.

“You just HAD to provoke him!”, Scootaloo scolded Pinkie Pie.

“It was an accident!”, Pinkie defended. “How was I to know he didn’t like being called a moron?!”

“You have GOT to be KIDDING me!”, GLaDOS groaned. “That’s how he was DESIGNED, you fool!”

“Thank you!”, Pinkie said, much to Chell’s confusion.

And that’s when the floor gave out, and they fell into a room filled with servers and old computers. Thankfully they were fine, and there were no cameras, so Wheately couldn’t see any of them.

“WHERE ARE YOU GUYS?!!”, Wheately screamed. “I WILL FIND YOU!! YOU CAN’T HIDE FOREVER!!”

“We have to do something!”, GLaDOS explained. “If we let that little idiot stay in control of the facility any longer, this place WILL self-destruct!”

“Yeah, we know”, Scootaloo blurted.

“Well, we can’t just hide here!”, Rarity stood up. “We have to stop that core by working together! Only then can we find that virus!”

They all agreed and put their hands & hooves together. They jumped out of the room and prepared to fight.

Cue an epic action scene where the five organisms fight the turrets, traps, “mashy spike plates”, and everything else. Rarity used her magic to hold deadly obstacles in place, Pinkie used her randomness to teleport to different parts of the facility, Scoots used her speed to bypass multiple cameras and while she couldn’t fly, she could glide, and of course, you know how strong Chell is.

Eventually, they made it to the room with the corrupted cores, and after walking down the bridge, they went into the elevator, plugged GLaDOS into the core transfer system, and entered Wheatley’s lair.

“Well well well! You managed to survive my wrath!”, Wheatley mocked. “Congratulations on making it this far, but it will only be a matter of time b-”

“You talk too much!”, Rarity interrupted as she used her magic to pull Wheatley out of the core, and the core transfer was a quick success.

“Rats…”, Wheatley groaned before shutting off.

“Well, thanks for getting me back into my body”, GLaDOS thanked.

“Anytime!”, Pinkie replied. “Goodbye!”

“No Pinkie”, Rarity reminded. “We need to find that virus!”

“Found it!”, Scootaloo announced as she stared through a vent. Everyone else ran towards her, and they saw the virus slither into a tunnel that was labeled “Teardown”.

We see an overview of the Portal 2 section of the gaming district, before panning right where we get to see the Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 section and the Teardown section. The camera stops at the border between Teardown and BeamNG.drive, where Applejack and Fluttershy carry Sweetie Belle out of the painfully dangerous BeamNG lands.

“Finally! We’re out of that hot spot!”, Fluttershy panted.

“It looks like this isn’t gonna be as easy as we thought!”, Applejack added.

“We’re not from here!”, Sweetie exclaimed. “These guys can easily respawn! If WE die, we STAY dead!”

“This area of Teardown is offline! We shouldn’t run into any more players as of now!”, Applejack explained.

Sweetie was now strong enough to walk on her own without having to be carried, so they walked across the land.

After a while walking from field to field, they found the Abandoned Subway Map.

“Hello? Anyone here?”, Applejack asked.

“This place scares me!”, Fluttershy mentioned. “Are you sure we should be searching here?”

“Well, I think if the virus is hiding anywhere, it’s most likely hiding where nobody can see it or would think to look!”

And just like that, the virus slithered out of the tunnel, scaring the trio of ponies.

“OH MA GOODNESS THERE IT IS!!”, Applejack shouted. “GRAB IT!”

Sweetie Belle immediately tried to freeze the virus using her magic, albeit missing every shot. Fluttershy then used her stare, but that also didn’t work as the virus had no eyes.

After multiple failed attempts at stopping the virus, the trio of ponies retreated as the virus grew BIGGER.

Eventually, they found a hydrodam, and Applejack had an idea. She bucked a part of the wall, and it started cracking before collapsing.

“Quick thinking Applejack!”, Fluttershy exclaimed.

The water then carried the virus into another sewer grate.

“Oops”, Applejack frowned.

We zoom through the pipes of the land, ending at the abandoned subway tunnel, where Twilight, Rainbow, and AB search for the mural once more.

“We’ve been walking for HOURS!”, Apple Bloom whined. “How much longer till we FIND this dumb mural?!”

“Patience”, Twilight replied. “We aren’t gonna find it right away, but we will eventually. We just ne-”

“Found it!”, Rainbow shouted.

“Already?”, Twilight questioned as they ran towards her.

And low and behold, the mural was right there completely intact.

Twilight took a good look at the mural, analyzing what everything meant, eventually realizing who created the virus.

“Holy Celestia! 13en did this?!!”, she yelled out.

“Yes, I did!”, said an ominous voice. Can you guess who it is- It’s 13enjamin Marshall. WHO DID YOU THINK IT WAS?!

“We have already captured all your friends! You guys are coming with me!”

“You dirty lying son of a-”, Rainbow started.

“Zip it! I’m doing this for a good reason, I swear!”, 13en interrupted.

After explaining the plan, again, they… No, they were still mad.

“You will NOT get away with this!”, Apple Bloom shouted.

“Apple Bloom is RIGHT!! Prepare to-”, Twilight started as she lit her horn up before it got cuffed by 13en’s robots.

“I don’t think so!”, 13en demanded as he used his powers to teleport them all back to his HQ.

Chapter 7: 😱😱😱

After Twilight’s group was teleported back to 13en’s base, the main woman herself saw the other 2 groups being held captive by robots, with all their horns and wings chained up.

“What are you going to do to us?!!”, Twilight yelled.

“I’ll tell you in a minute! First, I wanna hold your precious dragon sidekick HOSTAGE!”, 13en shouted as he held Spike by his NECK. (BTW, his green bathing suit is gone)

“HEY, LET GO OF HIM!”, Rarity yelled.

“No!”

“13enjamin Marshall, this isn’t fair!”, Sweetie Belle growled.

“Yes it IS fair! Why can’t you understand that?!!”, 13en screamed at the top of his lungs. “I’m only trying to HELP!! The Internet is in an ATROCIOUS state as of now, and I wanna fix it! If you PAINFULLY colorful ponies can’t understand that, then so be it!”

That’s when 13en threw Spike into the nine ponies and pulled a lever that opened a trap door beneath them all.

The ponies wind up in the computer’s recycle bin, which looks similar to the landfill from Toy Story 3.

Twilight coughed and wheezed as soon as she got up, and quickly tried to count everypony to make sure nobody was missing. Thankfully, there weren’t, but still.

“We have to stop-”, Twilight started before the garbage swirled in a vortex and onto a conveyor belt. The recycle bin has been emptied.

They got up again, and tried looking for some kind of emergency exit, of which there was none.

“There’s no way out! How are we going to escape?!”, Fluttershy screamed.

“I don’t know! This place is blocked off from any sign of light!”, Rarity responded.

“Guys, let’s face it!”, Applejack sighed. “We’re not getting out! We’re never gonna stop 13en, and we’re never gonna see our friends and families again!”

“What?!”, Pinkie whimpered. “We can’t just give up!”

“What else are we supposed to do, PINKIE?!”, Rainbow remarked. “This place is just like that Rainbow Factory from that other universe!”

Twilight lost all hope of escaping, and started crying.

“I’ve let everyone down!”, Twilight whimpered. “I thought I was better than this, but no! I’m so sorry!”

Twilight’s friends, the CMC, and Spike looked at Twilight, and Spike placed his hand on her back, trying to comfort her.

“This is not your fault at all! I get you wanted an adventure, and maybe you were too quick to trust somebody you didn’t know, but we all make mistakes!”

Twilight looked back, and told Spike, “But I just doomed an entire civilization, and all of us!”

“No you didn’t! We’ll find a way out! I promise!”, Spike tried to say.

“What if we don’t? What if we all die?”

“Then at least we’ll die together!”

Twilight started feeling a little better, and that’s when Apple Bloom announced, “Hey, I can see daylight! I think we’ll be okay!”

Everypony got optimistic, thinking the tunnel led outside, until Twilight realized what actually happens to garbage within a landfill.

“Guys, I don’t think that’s daylight!”

That’s when we zoom in, and it’s an INCINERATOR, just like Toy Story 3. Except this time, it’s a whirlpool of garbage flowing into the blue portal from Portal 2, with the orange portal gliding over a LAVA PIT from the NETHER.

“Holy Celestia’s Cakes!”, Rainbow Dash muttered as everypony looked in utter shock.

Back with 13en, he got onto his control panel and prepared to “fix” the Internet.

“Time to finish what I should’ve started a long time ago!”, he said as he pressed a red button with a skull on it.

His headquarters started shaking, and the treasure he had flowed into a vault labeled “Power Supply”.

Then we get to see a giant circular door opening with the base rising out of it, and transforming into a robot with various weapons, including a portal gun, a giant vacuum, a Netherite sword, a mythic drum gun, a cannon that launches cars, a cannon that launches Roblox Noob heads, ragdolls of familiar characters, ect.

The head rose out of the body, and 13en grabbed the controller, which was shaped like a GameCube controller, and murmured, “Let’s do this!”

The robot marched onto the Google Chrome Planet using a rainbow bridge, and we get to see lazy DeviantArt OC’s painting Anime girls naked, GoAnimators trying to ground each other, Twitter users threatening to assault other users for having different opinions, and other normal internet phenomenons, before they all get interrupted by the shadow of my robot.

Back with the Mane Six, the CMC, and Spike, they’re running on the conveyor belt, trying to avoid that incinerator. They didn’t know how to escape that deathtrap, but they at least wanted to try.

That’s when Twilight noticed the emergency stop button, and told Spike, “Spike, there’s an emergency stop button and your wings are the only ones not chained up! Please press it before we all die!”

So Spike flew up to the button, before some smog made him cough and go blind.

“I can’t *cough* do it!! There’s too much smog and smoke!!”, he yelled.

“You can do this! We believe in you, Spikey Wikey!”, Rarity replied.

Spike slowly flew up, taking his time, and before he knew it, he made it to the platform. He slammed his fist on the button, until cardboard walls fall over, revealing the button was connected to Minecraft TNT.

“Uh Oh!”, Spike muttered before getting blown up, launched backwards, and knocked out.

“WHAT?!!”, Twilight screamed.

“I told you, you’re NOT coming back!!!”, 13en said on a speaker. “See you NEVER, traitors!”

And the Mane Six, the CMC, and Spike fell into the garbage whirlpool.

Their lives flashed before their eyes, and they knew there was no escape. At first, they were terrified.

But then, the CMC remembered if they’re gonna die, at least they’ll die with dignity, AKA dying together.

AB grabbed AJ’s hoof, SB grabbed Rarity’s hoof, and Scoot grabbed RB’s hoof, and their respective sisters held on back.

Every other pony joined too. Fluttershy grabbed Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash’s hooves, Pinkie Pie grabbed Twilight hoof, Rarity held AJ’s hoof, Rainbow let Twilight hold onto her leg, the Crusaders held each other’s hooves with the same hoof, and Twilight let Spike lay on her lap.

After they connected together, they glowed a bright purple, and magic started tingling everywhere. They accepted their fate, and braced themselves for impact, until the magic barely touched one of the pixels from the fire, and a big magic explosion blew all of them backwards, and a blue beam of light held all of them midair.

“What just happened?!!”

That’s when a computer voice turned on and announced, “Error, these entities are not from this software, or any other software, therefore they can not be deleted. We apologize for the misunderstanding and will transport all 10 of you to a safe room”

The beam zapped them out of the incinerator and into a medium sized room with a couple of mattresses, fresh oxygen, healthy food on a table, and medical kits.

“Wow, we’re safe! I guess the program couldn’t process our existence this time!”, Rainbow sighed.

“Wait, why didn’t this happen while we were in danger other times while we were here?”, Fluttershy asked.

“I dunno, GoAnimate Logic?”, Scootaloo responded. “The point is, we didn’t die!”

“Spike, please don’t die on us!”, Twilight told Spike as she held his body.

Spike woke up immediately, so we didn’t get a fake-out death scene.

“Hooray, Spike gets to live!”, Sweetie Belle yelled.

“I heard everything you said while I was knocked out! I know why the incinerator didn’t kill us!”, he explained. “So, should we stop 13en?”

“Yeah, let’s save the Internet!”

Chapter 8: Twilight Fixes the Internet

Twilight, after getting her horn and wings unchained, along with everpony else, teleported everypony to the surface, where 13en has taken over. His idea of “fixing the internet” was to basically enslave everybody and force them to do what he thinks will make the Internet “good”.

Twilight ran up to 13en’s throne, and confronted him in full force.

“Guess who’s back, you stick figure!”, Twilight snarled.

“Get out!”, 13en replied as he threw his glass of soda at her.

“We’re not leaving until you restore the Internet to what it once was!”, Rainbow demanded.

“Yeah, it may be cruel!”, Pinkie explained. “But the way YOU’RE running this place is worse!”

That’s when 13en pulled out his shotgun and started speaking, “You better leave before-”

That’s when Twilight shot the shotgun out of 13en’s hand, causing him to yell “NONONONONONONONO” in the Kidaroo voice, and the shotgun landed on a pilliar.

He turned his head and glared at the ponies, who prepared to fight back, and said, “You left me no choice, robot army, ATTACK!!!”

13en’s robots charged towards the ponies, but thanks to all the knowledge they’ve learned, they managed to fight back triumphantly.

Rainbow Dash learned how to drift when flying through the tunnels, so when the robots chased her on the Rainbow Road, they fell off the tight corners.

Pinkie Pie was at first surrounded by Nano, Nano 2.0, Piconian Nano, Nara, Rip-Off Nano, Dark Nano, Evil Nano, Fury Nano, Ghost Nano, Withered Piconian Nano, Nano JR, Cyborg Nano, GoAnimate Nano, Tadro & Tadia, and Evil Nina, but she stretched out her limbs and spun, knocking them ALL out in one fell swoop.

Applejack worked smarter, and not harder when she distracted the robots with DeviantArt pictures of female robots posing, before pushing the picture down on them.

Rarity used her magic even stronger than she normally did to overheat the robot’s main circuits.

Fluttershy tried to act all kind and sweet to the robots at first before BUCKING them in their metallic kiwis.

Apple Bloom lead Sweetie Belle to stand up for herself and Scootaloo to glide during the fight.

And Spike gave the final blow as Twilight launched him towards the virus, causing him to pick it up and explode it in 13en’s face.

Thankfully, after ALL of that, 13en became SANE again, and apologized for becoming so controlling. He now knows the Internet can’t just change automatically, and he needs time to fix things.

To make it up to everyone, he repaired Google, and sent the Mane Six, the CMC, and Spike back to Equestria, the place they belong in.

To celebrate, they all had ice cream with their closest friends, and relaxed after the huge adventure they went through.

And they all lived happily ever after.
