The Mane Six's Strange, Yet Blocky Endevour
Celestia Almighty...
Previous ChapterNext ChapterChapter Two:
Well, that's what the were all thinking. Not only had they randomly been transported to a blocky world of monsters, but there was one creature who seemed quite intelligent and advanced. Not only had he built his own little realm up from practically dust, by himself, but he also could communicate in multiple ways. Twilight was admittedly quite excited to see what else this strange creature had up his sleeves.
It was the next morning, and the creature was already up.
"Say," Twilight asked, "Do you...even have a name?"
I sat there staring at my screen. This A. I It's almost as if Twilight was actually transported into the game. Notch is a lot better of a programmer than I had originally thought.
Then I wondered how I would answer her. There was my Username, Gamerking126, my real name, Dalton C. Perry, my internet name, Epic Nerd, my second internet name, which I use when the first is already taken, LordEpicNerd, and my avatar's name: Steve.
Twilight was looking at me expectantly , so I decided on something that sounded really cool to me.
"I have many names, for many different purposes, and for many different worlds."
It sounded even cooler coming from my mouth than it did in my head!
Twilight raised her eyebrows at him.
"You can travel to different worlds?"
Again, kind of hard to answer. Did MineCraft really count as an entire separate world?
"Ehh, yes and no."
"Well, because I was wondering if maybe you could help us get back to where we came from. A place called Equestria?"
This was unbelievable. Just wow. I couldn't get over how epic this A. I. was. Again.
Time to impress the game pony some more.
"Yes, I know what Equestria is, located on the planet Equin, it is a fairly large country ruled in a monarchy by Princess Celestia, Princess Luna and, starting a few days ago, you."
Twilight's eyebrow raise skyrocketed.
"Wha-...how....why...huh?"
The other ponies had waken up and were all looking at me with awed expressions. Impressing was a success.
Twilight managed to finish her sentence.
"How...how did you know that?"
"...I have my methods...secret methods...."
I couldn't help but snicker.
"Mister, I won't settle for that answer. How do I know that you're not a spy for the Changelings or something?"
"Why would I help the Changelings?"
"I don't know!"
"Well I wouldn't. You're just gonna have to trust me when I say that I'm one of the good guys. Besides, If I was a spy for someone who wanted you gone, I could have killed you in your sleep or something."
"Okay, but that still doesn't answer my original question: What is your name? Or, since you have soooo maaanny, what do you want us to call you?"
I thought. If I were ever transported to Equestria, as my OC, I would go by my OC's name, Epic Nerd, so I chose that.
"Epic Nerd. Or just Epic. Or just nerd."
"So....the giant 'Gamerking126' floating above your head is irrelevant?"
Oh. I had forgotten about that.
"That's my alias."
"Why would you need an alias? We're the only intelligent things here."
"Again, I have my reasons."
Twilight threw her hooves up into the air and groaned. I smiled.
"Okay, I think that our blabbering has awoken the rest of your friends," I said, looking over Twilight's shoulder.
Yes, they were all fully awake.
Applejack spoke up first, "Well hello there, mah name's Apple-"
"Applejack, Bearer of Honesty, the 'Loyalist and Most Dependable of ponies.' Likes growing and harvesting apples. That's Pinkie Pie, the Element of Laughter, likes making everyone laugh and smile, throws epic parties, you're Rarity, the beautiful fashionista of Ponyville who knows all of the best ways to combine Jewels and clothes, the Element of Generosity, Fluttershy, the graceful yet timid Element of Kindness, and Rainbow Dash, one of the most talented flyers to ever exist, the Bearer of Loyalty."
Rainbow Dash puffed up her chest in pride, but all of the others were staring at me yet again.
"Woowee, this alien knows about all of us, isn't that cool!?" Pinkie Pies said, smiling widely.
Fluttershy mumbled something about stalkers and I spoke again.
"Okay, from now on, let's assume that I know literally everything about all of you, and let's get started on our day."
Every single one of those ponies immedatley turned away, giant blushes forming on all of their faces.
Oh-ho-HO! What have we here?
"Yes, I know about that too, but there's no one here but us who can know, so it matters not."
Hehehe.
"Okay! I have jobs for all of you, but I think you'll like them," I walked over to a window, "Applejack, see that grove of trees? I want you to extract off of the apples from there, and then harvest and re-plant the wheat field, then feed the chickens, pigs,and cows with some of the wheat you get, but give me what's left."
AJ nodded and walked out the door.
"Next, Fluttershy, I want you to check all of the animals and make sure nothing's wrong."
She shuddered.
"Don't worry, we're on a floating island and everything is lit up; there are no monsters up here, and Rainbow, I want you to scout the area with this map," I pressed 'Q' and it flew onto the ground, where she picked it up and examined it.
She nodded,"I'm on it!" and she was gone.
"Pinkie Pie, I want you to plan the most epic party ever for six ponies and a MineCraftian for the end of the day to celebrate the fact that we're all still alive, help yourself to anything in the chests to make it happen, and Twilight and Rarity?"
("Okie Dokie Lokie!")
They both looked back at me.
"You two come with me; you're going to help me find gems and ores."
Rarity's eyes brightened, but Twilight was indifferent.
"Twilight, I'm actually bringing you along for extra protection, you a fraking Alicorn for goodness' sake."
"Protection?"
"Eeyup, monsters galore down there."
I saw the concern in her eye and added, "But I'm a pretty good fighter too."
She didn't look all that reassured.
Okay, let's go. Armor, check, weapons, check, torches, check, etc, etc, etc.
"Okay, let's go."
Instead of going to the water elevator, I walked over to the edge of the massive island.
"What are we doing here...?"
"Twilight, would your pride take a very large hit if you were to fly us down there?"
"Not really no, but I still haven't learned how to use them well enough yet-"
"Wait a sec." I opened up my inventory and found a 'Strength' potion.
"Drink this," I said, hucking it at the ground.
Twilight furrowed here brow at it and picked it up. She uncorked it and drank it down.
"Wow, what does this actually do?"
"It was a strength potion, perhaps it'll strengthen your wings."
"Wow, he knows magic too," she said to Rarity, then, "What else can you do?"
"Well, let's see...I know that potion along with almost a hundred others, both with positive and negative effects, I know how to create a portal to a different dimension from here, know where to find and how to activate a different portal to a different dimension, I can teleport with a specific type of jewel, and I can enchant weapons, tools, armor, resources, and books."
"Wow, Impressive, how-"
"I'm sorry, you'll have to wait a bit to finish that questions: that potion isn't going to last much longer."
"Oh! Yes, sorry, of course. Uh, hop on?"
"One more sec."
Saddle.
I climbed on and helped Rarity up as well.
"'Kay, see if you can fly."
Twilight launched herself off the side, rather fearlessly, and it was perfect. There wasn't even a lurch.
We were alight for a few seconds as Twilight flawlessly descended and we landed on the ground with a soft thud.
I smiled and hopped off.
"Nice work Twi'! Can I call ya that?"
She blushed and said, "Sure."
Rarity was impress too.
"Good job my dear, that was nearly flawless!"
Twilight blushed even deeper, "Thanks."
"Okay, let's not make her feel uncomfortable: follow me."
I walked off down the mountain and into the cave mouth.
"A-are you sure that this is s-safe?" Rarity asked.
"Didn't you hear me earlier? No, of course not, there is an entire host of undead monsters, normal, live monsters, underground lakes, magma, deep pits, and more, but I have a lot of potions and weapons, and I also have to magically inept equines with me as well: we'll be fine."
She was still trembling.
I sighed and said, "Look."
I cracked open INV edit and grabbed a 'Spawn Creeper' egg.
"Stand back and watch."
They both very willingly stepped back and I went forward and then turned back. "I also forgot to mention that I can spawn whatever creature that I wish if I want."
I turned back around and right-clicked the ground, and a green creeper appeared. It activated its hissing and I pulled out my sword, sliced him once, and hopped back.
I managed to make it out of the blast radius and the Creeper stopped expanding and came at me again. I pulled out a potion, damage, and smashed it on the ground. The Creeper hissed and took some damage. For the final blows, I pulled out my bow-and-arrow and used it accordingly.
The creature gave off a final hiss as it fell on it's side and poofed in a, well, poof of particles.
"There, see? Actually, now that I think of it, I should give you a briefing..."
I spent the next several minutes explaining the different hostile mobs, spawning and battling an example of each one, and I also explained the neutral mobs, who needed to be provoked.
"Please tell me that you can make some nice creatures!" Twilight said.
"Yes, I can." I spawned a villager, and many of the passive mobs.
"And, just in case my skills, along with your two's magic fails, I can make one, or twelve, with these guys."
I constructed an Iron Golem, who's shadow enveloped the two ponies and myself.
"Wow, what does he do?" Rarity asked.
"Lumbers around and smashes baddies, now, are you finally ready?"
"Oh I suppose, but if I get dirty, you're to blame."
Twilight giggled and I whispered, "Oh, she's going to get filthy."
