0001: SD Gundam Capsule Fighters Online

"Ready up?" I asked my friendly player friends, watching all the SD suits running around on my Monitor Screen. Three more including me making a pose to signal their ready status.

"Eeyup." Applejack replied through Skype. S

"WHERE DID YOU GET THAT FREEDOM GUNDAM?!" Demanding the fastest flying pegasi, Rainbow Dash. "I've been trying to find that Celestia Damn Gundam for Months!"

"Quest, Rainbow Dash." I answered, "And no matter how many times you repeat that question, Quest."

"Seriously?" She asked,

"Yes. Everypony who reached Private Rank should do that 'Easy Singleplayer Mission'." After finishing my speech, and hearing her Grumble about Twilight Sparkle, hiding how she got the Freedom Gundam, I then examine all the eight ponies in the match. There is the GP-02 Gundam colored with Red Apples, Strike Gundam, Deathscythe Gundam, Shining Gundam used by Shining Armor, Other Two Freedom Gundams, and a Wing Gundam colored in different colors, Red, Blue, Purple, Yellow, Green, and Light Blue. That must be Rainbow Dash's Wing Gundam, and she is pro at it. The Deathscythe Gundam is where I had a hard time since it loves to use cloak and sneak up on me. That GP-02 Gundam must be Applejacks which she's playing as, and it seems the player of Strike Gundam and other Freedom Gundam are pure rivals.

After all the players ready up, we were expecting for more players, but the Strike Gundam Player, who must be the Host of the room, decides to start now with eight players.

"The Freedom's on my Side!" Rainbow Dash said, "I'm gonna own GB this time."

The game starts, and we are at the Neo Tokyo Map. The Strike Gundam, GP-02, and a Second Freedom's on my side. Immediately I jump and jump to the toppest Skyscraper to be used for camping. The Shining Gundam is the first to charge, immediately shot by the Beam Rifle, switching to the Rail Cannons for more. The GP-02 and Strike duking it out with the Freedom on their side. To my surprise is a Deathscythe Gundam, flying from his invisibility and at me trying to get to my Camping Spot. I jumped and switch to the Twin Beam Sabers and counter, but missed and get reaped. I continue to jump and dodge until he got me, being fragged by a Deathscythe.

I waited for the Respawn, and Here I go again. Immediately a Wing Gundam charging in, but I jumped and started firing with Beam Rifles to Rail Cannons. Rearly Dashing from Dash and shooting with my Rail Cannons.

"Come back here!" She yelled, chasing after me, while I play Cat and Mouse and use range until my SP bar is full. I unload my special, and failed to due to Deathscythe coming up to me and reap me from behind. Another Respawn counter I must watch.

"Hey! He was mine!" Rainbow Dash said to Deathscythe Gundam.

I respawn after some waiting. I switch tactics, stay low, and move around the buildings until I see Freedom Gundam jetting from Strike Gundam. I followed Strike Gundam, watching him getting blasted and destroyed. I unleash my Special at the other Freedom Gundam, utterly fragging it, while not paying attention to the score which was on the top of the screen.

The black screen blinks away with a Damn Deathscythe ganging on me, but I jumped and use my Rail Cannons. The Deathscythe returns with Machine Cannons. We fired each others and dodge until Deathscythe goes down, finally earning a frag and a vengeance. I was not safe as I was losing health from the continous vulcans.

I attempted to dash for cover, only to end up too late as I am fragged by Rainbow Dash.

"Eat it, Special-HogGAH!!" Rainbow's last word of yell equals that she was shocked by a Special Attack used by GP-02, fragging her Wing Gundam.

"How'd you like THEM Apples!" The Cowpony Applejack taunting Rainbow Dash. She laughs, I joined her laughing, and Rainbow Groans.

Respawn, and I find myself at the Tallest Skyscraper, so I jumped and double jumped and resume camping. I saw Shining Gundam so I armed my Rail Cannons, while watching it fighting another Freedom Gundam. I decide to give support with Rail Cannons, knocking Shining Gundam down repeatedly until Deathscythe comes to me out of his Invisibility shell, where I jumped but not high enough to avoid Deathscythe's Beam Scythe attack. Low on Health again, and my Gundam gets up. I jumped again to dodge that attack again and Rail Cannon it and dashed away from Deathscythe which is chasing after me.

I jumped as soon he attempts to land a Scythe attack, backing up and firing my Rail Cannons, knocking him down. I watch as the Deathscythe gets up and dashes at me, only for me to jump and use my Rail Cannons again, earning a frag and I clapped my hooves of succession.

I noticed the Countdown on the screen, which means the Time is almost up. Shining Gundam leaping at me and using a special attack on me, where darkness surrounds us, and the Shining Gundam's hand glows, thrusting it at my Gundam's Head with a grab, and Explodes. Luckly I am not dead, so I return with my own Special before the Shining Gundam gets away. It is too late however as the Game Over message Appears, and our attacks do nothing while the Results screen appears.

'Lose' is the Result, as their Team won. We were 6 Points away to take the lead from them. I watch how much Experience I earned, Points, and Unit Experience. My Green coloured Freedom Gundam did it's best.

"Nice." I clapped my hooves, even though I lost, "Good game, Everypony."

"Thanks, Kid." Rainbow said, "But could you STOP with the Specials?"

"Yer the one who started it, Rainbow." Applejack said, I muffled my snickering with one hoof. "You won't stop spamming us ponies with Specials, so you got the Medicine."

"Let's play one more." I recommended,

"Yes." Rainbow Dash said, "I WANT REMATCH!"

0002: Starcraft 2

"Are you ready, Your Highness?" I asked Twilight Sparkle, the new Princess, through Voice chat on Starcraft 2.

Since the day she's ascended into a Princess, she's already continued playing Computer Games. She's invited by Luna to one of her XBox 360 games, mainly the Castle Crasher game. She actually favors Real time strategy games, seeing as the Element of Magic with wings is so awesome.

"Yes GB." Answered Twilight "I just got back from a nice tea with Luna."

On my monitor is a Game of Starcraft II. She along with the Elements are not just players, but Elites. I am below elite, but not too suckage. Rainbow & Fluttershy of Cloudsdale plays Zergs, Twilight and Rarity plays Protoss, while Pinkie and Applejack plays Terrans. I too am a Unicorn in fillydelphia, where most players in Fillydelphia favor Protoss, and the players in Manehattan play Terran, but I happen to favor Zerg.

"Still playing as Zerg." I said, "And, congratulations on becoming an alicorn."

"It was Destiny after all." She replied, "But besides that. It was amazing to see Celestia and Luna Competing in the ELG (Equestrian League Gaming). Both of them were in the finals, and Luna just handed her down with a Stalker-Robo rush."

"What about you and your friends?" I asked,

"Didn't make it. I lost to that Jerk Chrysalis and her Cannon Rush." She said in a dissapointed tone, "Thanks to Shining and his Siege Drops however, I just laughed at her Humiliated face."

"Siege Tanks Drops. Nice. Right, does Xel'Naga Caverns sound good?" I asked,

"Definitely" After some setting up, we set our chosen race. "In fact, I'm ready to try out the new Build Order I've been studying."

"Mine too." I replied before hitting start. Countdown to three, two, one, and the loading screen is here. After that, we're in, in a nice one on one map called Xel'Naga Caverns.

So now we begin building our base, first by sending our workers to the mineral fields. I started by hatching drones out since I'm a zerg. After reaching ten, I ordered another larva to be morphed, while sending my existing Overlord to my opponent's base for some scouting.

After the overlord is hatched from the Zerg Cocoon, I started morphing in more Drones then selecting one to mutate into a Spawning Pool near my Hatchery. I moved one drone from the field and ordered it to scout for Probes. After scouting, no Protoss Probe, so I ordered it to scout further at my empty expo before scouting her base.

Scrolling back to my base, I have another Drone to mutate into an Extractor on one Geyser, while having my Hatchery birth a Zerg Queen. I am planning a nice Roach Lisk combo for Twilight's army of Stalker Robo. I have another drone to become a Roach Warren, while morphing in more Drones, and also an additional Overlord if I'm over the Supply Limit. I watched my Minimap on the bottom left screen as my Overlord I sent is few inches near her base.

The Extractor is done, so I morphed another one on another Vespene Geyser. With the Roach Warren ready, the Queen begins using the Spawn additional Larvae while other Larvae started morphing into Roaches. I saw as my Overlord reached the base on my Minimap. I click on it and see what buildings she have. Looks like she has Two Gateways, a Cybernetics Core, and something being morphed in. It is already done, so it reveals me a Robotics Facility. I can see her Photon Cannons near her ramp as well. The Gateway pops out a Stalker, and it started firing at my Overlord. I ordered it to flee from her base, while the Stalker walks up closer to my Overlord and started shooting lasers.

My Overlord may not survive, so I minimap-click to my base, having more Larvae to become Overlords. I can see Roaches are morphed, but I may need more if I am going to take on Twilight's Stalker-Robo Army. I move my Drone to my Empty expo to standby until I watch my Mineral Counter reach 300, then ordering my drone to morph into a Hatchery. I decided that I will need lings for my Roach early, so I morph those, along with additional Roaches in case an Early attack is done.

I have my Hatchery at the Main base ordered to evolve into a Lair. I move two seperate roaches to the Xel'Naga Towers for vision. I scroll back to see how many I have so far. 8 Roaches and 14 Lings. Might not be enough, so I continue to build my forces until Her Highness'es Protoss force comes. My Other Hatchery is ready, so I have rest of the six larvae morph into Drones and waypoint them at the expo Mineral Field. The Zerg Lair is up and ready, so I have another Drone to become a Hydralisk Den, while increasing the number of drones and Overlords. I can see Twilight's forces coming through my vision, not noticing my Roach at the Tower until now. I can see that she has Six Stalkers and two Immortals just now.

I scroll back and have the other Larvae become Hydralisks while watching her forces blasting my one Roach into Fleshy Rubble. My three Hydralisks is ready, and Twilight's forces are coming, not stopping for anything until my Expo base is gone. Our forces collided into a fight until she decides to retreat.

So far, she lost only two Stalkers. I begin reinforcing my army with Roaches, Zerglings, and Hydralisks, while sending one roach to the Xel'Naga Tower, only to find out it's already occupied by her Protoss Force. After reinforcing our army with more numbers, with me ignoring Zerg Upgrades because I am confident without those, the Protoss Force comes. I have more Roaches and Hydralisks and she has more Stalkers with just Four Immortals, and suddenly, I hear a sound of Light Saber Slash. Damn Dark Templars. I have my existing Overlord to become Overseer, but it may be too late as her forces destroyed mine. She is faster than I thought.

My base is doomed unfortunately. So I messaged out a 'GG' to Twilight before surrendering. I'm booted to the results screen, and begin watching her Replay. I watch from the part where I scouted her base to see that she spawned additional Gateways and Robotic Facilities. She is so fast, and I couldn't keep up with her speed.

Later while watching, a Private Message. I click on it to see it was Twilight messaging me.

"Your strategy is the same. You will not win like this." She said, I begin my typing.

"It has been years and I am trying to do this without too many Hatcheries." I said,

"That's why... Your Multi-Tasking skills are weak. You always rely on economy." She lectured,

"Well that's what I'm going to do. I never shown Aggressive, nor will I want to. I am autistic after all..." I said, before being enveloped by a white light and being warped in front of the new Princess, Twilight Sparkle. I am now inside her princess bedroom. Turning my sight back to Princess Twilight, her look is a menacing.

"In that case," She begin, walking closer to me with an evil grin. "somepony has to whip you up into an Aggressive Elite, and I know just the princess. WELCOME TO TRAINING FROM TARTARUS!"

0003: Planetside 2 R1P1

Zurvan.

A Territory with a fort held by the Luna Sovereignty army, and it is located on the burning westside place called the Indar. I am a Luna Sovereignty, and I fight for the awesomeness of the Luna Sovereignty.

Actually, it is not really burning i-- *Rat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat* Buck! Shot unnoticed by the New Conglomareate Pony as soon I exit from the Main Menu after spending my first thirty certificate points on the Munitions Saddlebag 1 and equipped them. I am shot down by a NC Heavy Assault from above on top of the Building. May the LS platoon hunt him/her and whoop his/her flank.

Now waiting for the respawn counter before clicking Deploy. Of course the Loading Screen.

After the quick wait, I begin sprinting east to the entrance while noticing Twilight Sparkle and Rarity is online. I can see that she and her five friends started playing them. I also learn that They chosed their seperate team. Two Unicorns for the LS(Luna Sovereignty), Pegasi's for the ER(Equestrian Republic), and Earth ponies for the NC(New Conglomareate). Also, using the Winamp to listen to unfitting music while playing Planetside 2.

So back to where I was. Sprinting to the Rooktop, hovering to the top due to the Levitation Pad. I got out my S1 and begin examining to see there are few Lightnings and Vanguards, driven by the NC players, wanting to conquer Zurvan. Well not if my S1 Rocket Launcher can help it.

I start using my S1 Launcher on the Lightnings, sprinting back for reload while the other Heavy Assaults do the same. Lightning Tanks here to fight them and the Vanguards. Only one Magtrotter, and I hope they get more. It's going to be a Tank fight while us soldiers lend support with S1 Launchers. Oh crud, the NC reavers. I need to remember to start saving up my Certificate points for the new Rocket Launcher so it can home on air vehicles.

Bout time. I turn around to see the LS Scythes, so I turn to the tanks and Started using my S1 Launcher. Before I do so, I am immediately get fragged by an Infiltrator far far away by a Headshot, using a Sniper Rifle. Playing FPS games are awesome, but getting shot unnoticed and by Snipers are my major weaknesses in this type of game.

I wait, Redeploy, and sprinted back to the Rooktop, resuming the daily duty of using SI Launchers on the Tanks, retreating and reloading. Most Lightnings blown up, and I earn assist lightning destroy points. To my surprise is an NC Pony Air dropped and Light Machine Gunning me surprisingly. Unfortunely for him, he gets shot by a Light Assault. Good. That'll teach him.

Redeploy, and this time near the Sunderer. Immediately I get fragged by a damn Lightning Tank, also damaging the Sunderer Transport from the Cannon Splash Damage. Now the Anti-Tank Barrier is dow--

"Hang on, Ponies. Reinforcements is on the way now." That voice belongs to Twilight. All of the sudden, more players coming out of the Main Spawn Room. Looks like Help has arrived. Rarity, Shining, Luna, and even Cadence joins the Game. Wait, where is Shining Armor?

"Hey Twilight, Where's your brother?" I asked through herdspeak line. I thought Shining's gonna join her Wife in a Nice game.

"He's busy with training the Guards." Cadence replied before Twilight gets a chance. "Right. Let us Mares show you how it's done." The new Reinforcements begins their attack. Light Assaults, and Heavy Assaults, and others in additional Lightnings and Magtrotters. I raised my hooves in the air in a cheerful way. I'm ready to help with pushing back the NC forces now, using the Orion LMG to blow away enemies and also taking cover behind the boulder. Turning around to the base, I can see that Twilight brought snipers, and She along with Rarity are Snipers as well. Those New Conglomareate are going down now. Hoo-ahh!

Somewhere far from the Zurvan Territory, and at the building. Five NC Infiltrators armed with Sniper Rifles and different colored decals are looking out at the Base occupied by the Luna Sovereignty. The one in Red decals, must be the small platoon's leader. The other four by Red's side are Blue, Yellow, Green, and Pink.

"Ponies! Let's DOOO EEEET!" Yelled out in an Energetic plus exciting voice from a Pony through Herdspeak line, before those five charges out the building.

The Tanks are being pushed almost away from the Zurvan territory, and they are keeping their defending ground. Tanks and Vehicles chasing after them. Ponies not in vehicles, like me, begin sprinting, while trying to avoid getting run over by a Friendly tank.

Even though I'm familiar with the Game Mechanics, I am new to this map. However, I just love to get into the action of the game.

While sprinting, I noticed that the Yell Chat is in Roll call now.

"Red Sniper!"

"Blue Sniper!"

"Yellow Sniper!"

"Green Sniper!"

"Pink Sniper!

Then all five in together did they called out their team name for the New Conglomareate "Musei Sentai, Go-Sniper!" Oh Joy... My worse nightmare comes to the game. Now I have to deal with five sniping jerks. However, I'm in luck as I saw the five NC Infiltrators in line formation, standing like a rookie, being an Easy target there. Plasma rockets flying at them before they can try to get way, ending up being fragged. I can see Twilight and Rarity near the Sunderer, getting in. I decide to sprint to that and get in before they can take off to the next area.

"Listen up, Girls." Twilight begins the quick Briefing. "Our next target is The Crown. We need to make it quick, because the ER Platoons are making their way here." After some briefing, we are at next Territory. Tanks are with us, since the NC Tanks are preparing to guard The Crown.

"That crown is going to be ours!" Cadence cheered,

"What is that horrific Music?" Asked Rarity, seemed annoyed since I left the Herdspeak line on.

"Um, that would be the Arcade music actually." I answered, "Playing unfitting music in some games is actually my personal thing, you see." After that, I ready my S1 Launcher and follow Twilight's Squad, sprinting to the Cover at the mountains. Watching Heavy assaults shooting their Launchers while Rarity and Twilight handle their sniping.

"We're going to take Position." Cadence announced before her, along with Twilight and Rarity takes of to find a Sniping Spot. "Good luck, Boys and Girls." Leaving me to help other Heavy Assault ponies with the tanks while taking cover from heavy fire of the Light Assaults, Engineers, and Medics.

0003: Planetside 2 R1P2

Under heavy fire from the New Conglomareate troops while we try and take the Base. We continue exchanging gunfire, shooting down most assaults and infiltrators. I kept my Orion LMG up and attempt to snipe them, using burst shots to do harm on the ponies, making them retreat. One by one, Rarity, Twilight, and Cadence are sniping the NC forces at the very top hills they could find. Of course the NC tanks fired back, but they all pulled back before returning to snipe.

With the Lightning Tank shooting and shooting, I use my S1 Launcher to do damage on them, until they retreat. I took cover to avoid getting sniped, and reload my last S1 Ammo. Switching to the Orion LMG so I can shoot down other NC troops supporting the Tank.

"Push! We got this!" Said a random LS Pony. All of us sprinting to the base, taking out the rest of the NC Soldiers so they can be trapped inside the Spawning Room. Those barriers prevent any enemy from coming in unless The Crown is captured.

"Three ER Lightning Tanks coming for our way!" warned an LS Pony who was scouting.

"What?!" exclaimed Twilight, "Already?!"

The three Lightning tanks, but in three different colored decals. I'm guessing that must be another sentai. They stopped, and looks like they want to yell something. Also, the three ER tanks are in wall line formation. I remember that not every sentai had only five to start, instead it's three. Just like in Hurricanger, Sun Vulcan, Abaranger, Gekiranger, and Go Busters. Yes I do watch Super Sentais done by the Neighponese, but I like Kamen Rider better.

"That platoon looks a bit small." Rarity said, looking at the three Lightning Tanks.

"Red Tanker!" Raised the Turret gun in the air and fires.

"Blue Tanker!" The Same as the Red tank.

"Yellow Tanker!" The Same as the Red and Blue Tank.

"Daikikai Se--" Cut off by a swarm of S1 Rockets, damaging each tanks before forcing them to pull back. Then I return helping with the assault on The Crown. Suddenly, I got a Skype Call. It's from Silver Hoof, and I answer it.

"Hi." I said,

"Hello GB. Welcome to the Dark Side. We have Cake." Silver said,

"Still playing Planetside 2, as you can see." I replied.

"Oh. I heard of that game. I want to play it thou--" Silver said,

"ER Tanks approaching!" Said the LS Infiltrator, And yep. I see tanks farther across the road. They want to take The Crown for themselves.

"Leave them to the Heavies!" I cheered, along with the other Heavy Assault Ponies before we move to our positions and use our Launchers. LS Lightning Tanks coming to our aid. We continued our anti-tank firing on the ER, while our friends handle The Crown. Them using the Non-Starter Launchers while I'm stuck with it. In fact, using up one more Launcher ammo before switching to the Light Machinegun. Soon, few ER tanks pulling back from our heavy fire.

'The Crown Captured'

Yes! Crown Captured! I pull back myself and head inside the Spawn Point to get my Ammo refilled. Turning back, and heading back to the battlefield until everything Freezes. Damn, something wrong with the Internet.

Alt-Tab. Alt-Tab. Ctrl-Alt-Delete next then click the 'Start Task Manager'.

Great. It paused the responding. I check the internet to see it had a Yellow Triangle. Damn. Reconnect, and then end Planetside 2 Process so I can start it again. The battle for the Crown is won, but the Internet loves to play with me. After Reconnecting, I'm back at the LS Base on Indar. Wanting to check how the other Continents are doing, I hit escape and go over to the Map screen. Looks like the Kwahtee Amp Station is having a battle with two other factions, so I click on it and head there.

Air Dropped, and I find myself already occupied by the blues, and I immediately get shot. There are other places needing reinforcements so I click on Mekala Tech Plant to spawn there. Now waiting for the loading screen to be done.
