Gamer's story

"So, about that story..." Said Rainbow Dash looking at Gamer who looked down.

"Uhm, are you guys forgiving ponies?" Gamer asked. All six nodded at her happily.

"Ok then, you might want to sit Down for this. It's a tad extreme." Gamer laughed nervously and gulped.

"Back when I was a filly I was the shyest pony you could ever meet..." As soon as Gamer said that the five other ponies all looked at Fluttershy who started to blush. This confused Gamer Shot so the ponies looked back at her and so she could continue.

     "Anyway, so I was really shy, really small, really weak and I was shit at flying. I was determined to learn though, so I walked over to a small cloud and started to teach myself to fly. Unfortunately a big colt bastard called Numb Skull followed by a large group of other foals came over to me and started to laugh at me and call me names. They were evil..." As Gamer described them and what they did, the other ponies noticed her eyes becoming white and faded and her mane and tail beginning to glow slightly. This worried them but they continued to listen to her.

     "...The next day I found another small cloud in hope that they wouldn't find me but sure enough they did and they made fun of me again. Sometimes they even hit me or kicked me and what's worse is that I didn't have any friends to stick up for me or to help me limp home after they beat me..." Gamers eyes turned white with a green cross through them and her mane and tail were fully glowing now. Her hind hooves began to spark and emit small lightning bolts.

   All of the ponies started to push themselves away from her. Fearing that she would hurt them or that something was going to happen to her. She continued.

"...One day, after about a month of this constant bullying I'd had enough. Numb Skull and the group of other foals approached me, that day I didn't tremble in fear, I didn't cry. I sold up and looked him in the eyes.

"I dare you to to hit me Numb Skull"

I said to him. He looked shocked but smiled evilly. He raised his hoof to punch me, I ducked it jumped up and bucked his back as hard as I could. My eyes were white and my mane and tail glowed much like they are now, only stronger..."

     The ponies were shocked at what this poor Pegasus had been through and wanted to help, but still kept their distance from her.

     "...He writhed in pain on the floor. I looked down on him with a smile on my face. He stood up and tried to kick me. I felt electrical power surge through my body and I grabbed his leg and threw him away from me. I knew what I wanted to do. I flew straight at him as he fell. I needed to go faster to get him so I pushed and pushed. Suddenly pink and green sparks and an explosion of colour spewed away from me. I hit Numb skull. Hard. He went tumbling off into a cliff and very nearly died. I flew back and landed in front of the group of foals who had once made fun of me. I smiled and whispered "boo" they ran a mile."

     The ponies trembled, eyes and mouths wide open. Fluttershy whimpered quietly a few tears pouring down her cheeks whilst the others just stared at Gamer who glowed ahead of them. Gamer then dropped and stopped glowing, her eyes returned to normal and she looked up limply. At the five ponies who were gawping at her.

     "What happened to you then?" Asked Twilight barely managing to get the words out.

What happened then

Gamer walked up to the other ponies keeping low, showing them not to be afraid.

"I was kicked out of town because Numb Skull broke both his wings and one of his legs. Then I moved on to the next town, still only a filly, I told se of them what had happened and they ran from me and kicked me out instantly. Then I went to the next town and kept myself to myself. Some ponies started picking on me for being a loner and having no friends so I sort of fucked their shit up too. I was kicked out of there and it goes on and on. Eventually I just did it for fun, I figured I'd have to go anyway I was just so used to that. Then win one town I met two ponies that I actually called my friends. Then they screwed me over so I left. I looked around for the friendliest town I could find and everything led me here. I just want to start again. I want to have a normal life with... friends." Gamer sat down next to the others, a lone tear rolling down her face.

     Pinkie walked over to Gamer slowly, sat next to her and hugged her. Gamer looked at her, smiled and stood up.

"Come on girls, wha d'ya say?"

Asked Pinkie. The ponies shared some worried glances between each other.

"Ah d'know..." Stuttered Apple Jack.

Pinkie drowned at them all.

"Now if I've learnt anything from you, all of you especially Twilight is that friendship is magic and that everypony needs a friend. I am friends with Gamer Shot and you should be too. She was driven to what she did and she was honest and poured her heart out to us. Don't you think she deserves a chance at a good life, don't you think everypony does?" All of the other ponies were speechless.

"Oh my, Pinkie, that was beautiful!" Exclaimed rarity. "Yes, we should stick by her, a new friend is always welcome..."

"I agree" interrupted  Twilight.

"Me too" added AJ.

"And us" said rainbow and Rarity

"Ok" muttered Fluttershy "same here" the girls all hugged Gamer shot who was smiling like she never had before.

"Fuck yeah!" She yelled "I have friends, real friends!"

Night time

"So uh, Gamer, where are ya'll gonna sleep tonight?" Asked Apple Jack.  The girls looked at each other.

"You could sleep at my house, if you don't mind sleeping of a sofa..." Suggested Roainbow Dash

"That would be great, thanks!" Replied Gamer "lez go!" Rainbow Dash shrugged said goodbye to the others and lead Gamer to her house up in the clouds.

     "So here it is" she said gesturing to her house.

"Wow, nice place Rainbow" said Gamer Shot looking over the house.

They made their way inside and rainbow Dash showed Gamer the sofa and said goodnight.

    As she lay on the sofa she smiled to herself. She couldn't believe her luck. She stumbled into Ponyville and had met the six nicest ponies she had ever found and now... They were friends. Gamer was happy, calm, at ease. She could relax for once in her life and not worry. This was the start of her new life.

Controller

As the sun rose Gamer Shot blinked her weary eyes and stretched out her legs. She rolled off the sofa and yawned. Her dreams were constantly reminding her of her past life, replaying all of the events of her life. All her fuck ups shown to her every night. She was used to it though, sure it was hard to ignore it but she'd lived that way so long it was the only way.

     "Oh so you're up already?" Asked rainbow dash as she trotted down the stairs. Gamer looked up.

"Yup. Why, what do you have planned?" She asked. Rainbow looked up and thought for a second.

"We could meet the other girls at sugar cube corner in a bit?"

"Awesome, lez go" Gamer replied whilst shooting out of the door.

     Rainbow and Gamer flew to sugar cube corner together in only a matter of seconds. Gamer flew at that speed with ease, this time without her trail. Rainbow on the other hand was trying hard to keep going at that pace. She wondered just how Gamer was able not only to fly so fast, but control when she flew with a trail.

    They arrived at sugar cube corner and were surprised to see that all of the others were already there.

"Pinkie ah really don't think you should do that." whispered Apple Jack worriedly.

"Don't worry, I can fix it, cupcakes fix everything!" Yelled pinkie pike

"Oh goodness it's all my fault, w what if she's a angry at m me" squeaked Fluttershy.

     Rainbow Dash and Gamer Shot looked through the window into the kitchen of sugar cube corner. The door was locked but the other five ponies were all huddled over something on the table, worried faces on each if them.

"This is not good and pinkie I Dom't think your helping." Said Twilight calmly. Fluttershy was shaking, sweating and crying yo herself at the back of the group.

"Pinkie, what in tarnation are you doing now? That thing looks more dead than a doorknob ah think!" Said Apple Jack bluntly.

     Both Rainbow and Gamer were quite confused. Rainbow had the majority of the window to peek through and she caught a small glimpse of what they were huddling over. She suddenly got very worried and looked between Gamer Shot and the thing on the table. She was sure she'd seen it before, flying with Gamer yesterday.

"Oh shoot! I forgot I have work today, come on Gamer lets go... Ha I don't want to be late!" She said in an obviously put on voice.

Gamer raised an eyebrow at her.

"I wanna see what they're doing..."

"Well the door's locked"

"I'm sure I can open it" replied Gamer smugly.

     Gamer lifted one of her hung legs and began to rub her hoof against the other leg as if it was a match. After three sharp rubs, her hoof kit up with green electricity and lightning radiating from her hoof.  She shook it around and inspected it before activating the next hoof.

"What the..." Uttered Rainbow before Gamer shot her an evil smile. She turned around, facing away from the door.

     In a flash on green light Gamer bucked the door as hard as she could sending the room flying across the room with a large black burnt patch in the middle of it. Gamer trotted in and smiled sweetly at the door. Rainbow stumbled in after her, gaping in disbelief.

     All the girls looked at Rainbow and Gamer before diving onto whatever it was on the table trying to hide it. Fluttershy began to scream and cry lightly.

"What are you doing?" Asked Gamer curiously. The girls shared some worried glances between each other.

"Uh, nothing, uh table wrestling!" Shouted Pinkie Pie. The others looked at her before quickly nodding their heads and pretending to wrestle.

" no you're hiding something..."

"Nope, no way, nuh uh, negative" said Rarity who was clearly lying.

"Come on, clear off" said gamer,

annoyed. The girls got off the table, huddled on the ground and put up their hooves to protect themselves.

     On the table was a small pink... Xbox controller? It had blue buttons, bumpers, analogue sticks and blue wings with a the small Xbox logo in the middle. Only the Xbox logo didn't light up green like it usually did... It was lit up red.

Red ring of death

Gamer slowly stepped forward to look over the controller, reg lights flashing. She has a look of disbelief on her face and just stood over it looking at it for about 30 seconds not moving at all. As she was stood there her eyes began to water an tears began to accumulate at the bottom of them.

     After a while her face scrunched up into a look of anger. Her eyes shot white as she looked up and screamed.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

She looked down to the ponies. Her eyes with those same green crossed in them as when she was talking about her past. She hovered in front of them tears pouring down her face, almost red with anger.

"WHAT... HAVE... YOU.... DONE?"

The last word she screamed up to the sky in anger and desperation.

     "I..... I.... I was..." Uttered Fluttershy. Gamer turned to her and stared at her making her look away and curl up into a ball.

"Shut up just shut up!" She screamed. Gamer dropped onto the floor, her eyes normal once again. She scooped up the controller into her arms and looked at the red X which constantly flashed into her eyes.

    "You fucking stupid shuts!" She yelled. "You fucking red ring of deathed controller you stupid motherfucking ass holes! You are as stupid as a pile of dog shit! How did you... I... I don't even..." She shouted before face hoofing. The girls hand't realised how much this thing meant to Gamer.

"Tell me what the fuck you did."

"Well... I saw it flying around the trees not long after you left. I had never seen anything like it before and I thought it was a rare bird..."

"A bird?!? You thought this was a fucking bird?! You dipshit!" Games said whilst still cradling controller in her arms.

     Controller had its back pulled off and it was filled with icing and mushed up cupcakes where there should be batteries. There was icing and water all over it and its wings were broken and flopped down.

     "...well, I beckoned it towards me and it came over. I spoke to it for a while and it sat on my head. Then I took it back to my cottage. It kept trying to escape and it looked rather flustered so I thought a nice relaxing bath would help it to calm down."

"A bath. A BATH. Are you kidding me Gamer said looking at Fluttershy.

"It started sparking from its back and squealing so I took it put and opened its back up. I thought that was it 's mouth. I found two strange looking sausages in there so I took them out"

"Sausages! Seriously?!"

"Uhm... Yes? anyway, I took them out and it fell right to sleep. In the morning it didn't wake up so I out the sausages back into it and it woke up but it's light was very dim. I tried to feed it and then the light just turned red and it fell to the floor. I brought it here to see if anyone here could fix it." Fluttershy muttered.

"Oh shit" said Gamer. She quickly put controller onto the floor and started scooping cupcake out of controller's back. She was cursing to herself whilst she tried get all of the icing off controller.

     The batteries were buried under the mushed up cupcake. Gamer pulled one out and it gave her a light electric shock.

"Son of a bitch!" She yelled whilst shaking her hoof about.

She wiped the batteries gently and laid them on the floor. She charged up her back hooves, lifted them in the air and yelled CLEAR before bucking them sending green electricity charging through them.

     Suddenly in a green flash the batteries reset. Now they were good as new. Gamer picked up controller and continues to wipe cupcakes and icing off of it.

"This better goddamn work or your in for it!" She shouted before slamming the batteries into controller, picking the back up from the floor and slamming it on.

"Come on come on" Gamer muttered. She laid controller down in front of her. A single tear rolled down Gamer's cheeks. She closed her eyes and tried to hold back the rest of her tears.

     Suddenly controller burst into the air, light shining bright green.

"Controller!" Yelled Gamer before she leaped into the air and grabbed Controller into a loving hug. All six of the other ponies looked at gamer astounded before shrugging their shoulders, cheering loudly and hugging Gamer.

" What the..." Gamer Shot started as she looked at the girls hugging her before dismissing the thought and enjoying the happy moment.

     After about a minute the hug broke up and Gamer began to trot to the door

"Come on, I wanna show you guys something." She had a smug smile on her face as the girls followed her.

"Gamer can I please just ask, what even is Controller?" Asked Twilight

"Certainly not a bird." Fluttershy replied quietly. Twilight giggled before turning to Gamer hoping for an answer to her question. Gamer just stood in front of them legs wide, wings out smiling in excitement. She looked to controlled briefly before turning back to the ponies.

"Controller. Game mode ON!" She yelled.

Xbox? What?

Twilight lead the girls to her library with Gamer at the back smiling sheepishly whenever anypony looked at her. Apple Jack and Rarity spent most of the time trying to comfort Fluttershy about the treatment of they poor sheep.

     Twilight was confused. She didn't know wether to be angry at Gamer for upsetting Fluttershy, in awe about her ability, scared by her power or just happy to not only to have a new friend, but a pony with her power on her side... She hoped.

     When they arrived  Twilight unlocked the door and held it for the others before closing it after the last pony had entered. The mane 6 surrounded Gamer Shot in great need of an explanation of what exactly had just happened.

      Gamer didn't like this type of attention and smiled sheepishly at the ponies. Twilight rolled her eyes.

"Gamer, WHAT WAS THAT!" She screamed. Everypony looked to her shocked at her outburst. Twilight cleared her throat and calmed down.

"Sorry about that everypony. As I'm sure you all know, I have no idea what's going on here but I think we'd all really like to find out. She turned to Gamer and gave her a glare Gamer sighed.

     "Alright, that was 'game mode'. It comes with the ability of me and Controller. Which brings me to Controller, I should probably tell you what it is too. As I told you, when I was younger I made a mad dash to hit Numb Skull as he tumbled through the air so I conjured up all the power I could and an explosion happened."

     Rainbow's eyes shot open.

"WHAT?! Like a sonic rain boom?!" She screamed "No! That's not fair!" She added in a quieter tone.

Gamer looked at Rainbow,confused.

"Uh, what's a 'sonic rain boom'?"

"When I fly really, really fast a rainbow coloured explosion happens behind me and a circular shockwave of rainbow expands everywhere and I get a HUGE speed boost and am followed by a full on rainbow!" Dash replied annoyedly. Gamer looked up in thought for a second.

" yep, it was exactly like that." She said happily. Pinkie shot into the air.

"I GOT IT! A SONIC GAME BOOM!" She yelled. Gamer smiled and giggled before just deciding to continue with her story, Twilight did not look amused.

     "Anyway, after I scared everypony else away, I found a small controller on a cloud next to a weird box with a green X in a circle on it. I was curious so I touched it and the X lit up and the controller slowly flew up into the air. Then long story short it flew up to me wrapped it's wire around my neck and I just understood it."

" So uh, what is it?" Asked AJ

"An Xbox" Gamer stated proudly.

"Xbox? What?" Said a very confused rarity.

    Gamer smiled sweetly and pointed over to controller who was all of a sudden plugged into a small box which the girls correctly assumed to be an 'Xbox'. Rarity then noticed something. Gamer Shot's cutie mark was the Xbox logo. It all made sense now. That is who he is. Gamer noticed Rarity looking at her cutie mark and smiled.

     "The Xbox allows me to play games on it and that's my special talent. When I go into game mode, Controller channels the Xbox and I get the ability to take objects from games and into the real world. Controller and the Xbox were magically forged during that explosion for me but I never found out why."

     The ponies ahed in realisation finally being able to make some sense of the situation. Gamer then trotted towards the door with Controller and the Xbox behind her.

"So, who wants to play?"

Gaming for ponies

     Gamer excitedly jumped inside of Twilight's house, followed by the mane 6. Pinkie Pie then began jumping around the room with Gamer for no apparent reason. Gamer then stopped in mid air landed in all four hooves and called Controller in.

     Controller floated gracefully through the door and scanned the girls before floating over to Gamer. Controller's wire was attached to the Xbox and gently landed next to Gamer. She then smiled goofily at the girls and frantically began to fiddle with some other wires on the back if the Xbox mumbling to herself as she did so.

     Twilight looked to the girls and raised an eyebrow and if she was asking if anypony knew what Gamer was doing. They all just shrugged or shook their heads. Twilight sighed quietly. The past day or so had gone WAY too fast. A new pony arrived that nopony knew, next thing she knows a wierd monster kicks a retarded looking sheep and now her friends and her were about to be plugged into a suspicious machine to 'play'. It was all too much for her but she wasn't about to let her friends do it alone.

     Just as Twilight finished off her train of thought Gamer looked up from the Xbox and smiled at the other ponies.

"It's all ready to go now!" She stopped and noticed that to her surprise, she was met with happy smiles on excited faces except for Twilight. Gamer couldn't wait, she'd never played locally with anypony before, she knew how much fun it would be too.

     She gestured for the others to walk over to her and got them to stand in a circle.

" right, first thing first, what game should we play?" She asked Pinkie,s face lit up at the word game.

" Ooh I love games! Hide and seek? Tag? What time is it Mr. Timber wolf?" Suggested pinkie with a smile. Everypony shared a chuckle at that leaving Pinkie very confused.

"Not that sort of game Pinkie, now, anypony have any other suggestions?" Gamer asked excitedly. Everypony stared back at her with a blank face. Gamer just kept smiling, this meant shed get to pick the game they'd play.

"Okayyyyy, we should probably start off with something gentle sooo.... Little Big Planet it is!" She had just enough time to catch her friends confused expressions before they were engulfed by a flash of bright green light.

..........

     Twilight slowly opened her eyes and found herself in a cardboard rocked that seemed to be hanging from something. It had three large windows and a black, less magical looking, controller at the front. She looked out of the front window and saw three large spheres that looked rather like planets. She was amazed. They were in her library one second and the next they're in a hanging cardboard pod.

     She was so caught up in her thoughts she didn't notice the five sacboys sat on the floor of the pod with her until one of them moved. Her eyes instantly snapped to it and what she saw shocked her. She's gasped and stared at it for a while. What in Equestria was it? Certainly not a pony that's for sure. It looked wooly and woven and much like a ragdoll the five were all different colours and only then did she realise that they were her friends. A cyan blue one with scruffy rainbow hair, a yellow one with long pink hair, a dazzling white one with curly purple hair, a pink one with frizzy pink hair and an orange one with blonde hair up in a ponytail.

     She looked down and saw that she too wasn't longer a pony. She didn't know wether to be scared or excited and amazed. The other sacboys were looking at each other too. The first to speak, as per usual, was Pinkie.

"Well. This is new." She stated calmly before attempting to stand up only to fall into Apple Jack. She tried again but just fell the other way onto Rarity whilst they all giggled wildly.

     Unbeknown to them Gamer was stood in the back corner of the pod watching the friends attempt to stand up and get used to their new bodies. After about five minuites age decided it was time to give them a hand. She walked over to then slowly, smiling happily.

"So, what d'ya think?" She asked jokingly. Twilight and the others just burst into laughter with her, clearly all enjoying being in this new world.

     Gamer then helped the all find their feet and teach them the basics before deciding to explain to them what was going on.

"Well this, is the world of Little Big Planet. We are sacboys and this is our pod. I am player 1 so I'll control where we go but now that you are used to walking, jumping and grabbing... Sort of... we can go and play some levels!" She exclaimed only to quickly facepalm after seeing that the others were too busy checking out their new fingers to listen to her.

Getting used to the controls

Gamer sighed and walked up to the controller, she was used to being a sacboy as she'd played this game many times before. Gamer was incredible at all Games. Seriously every single one. It was her special talent after all. When she reached the controller she turned around to see the others still investigating their new bodies wondering how this was even possible.

     Gamer put a hand on each of the joysticks and began to select a level using the buttons on her right. Twilight wondered how she could act as if this was normal and an everyday experience.

     Rainbow dash was utterly speechless at what had happened. She'd completely gotten over her jealousy. She realised that even though Gamer was sort of stealing her talent, she had called Gamer her friend and she was always loyal to her friends, what would jealousy do but tear the mane 6 apart? Now this was just beyond cool. Being a quick learner she picked up walking and running straight away and she was rally quite fast. She hadn't quite gotten used to grabbing yet but she was well on her way, her fingers just wouldn't move in time.

     All of the girls were soon laughing and having fun together, grabbing and dragging each other around. Gamer turned around and chuckled before letting go of the controller and jogging over to join in. Pinkie could stand up, but every time she took a step she'd just tumble all over the place dragging her friends with we as she tried to keep herself upright. Rainbow was running around like a madman, jumping onto of off the controller again and again barely escaping Pinkie's grasp.

     Apple Jack was stumbling around laughing and trying to buck the walls to see if her legs were as strong as her pony legs. Rarity hid in the corner trying to protect her hair. She was a beautiful shade of white and her mane looked wonderful as hair. Her gentle purple ringlets hung perfectly next to her shoulders and her eyelashes were long, thick and dark.

     Fluttershy actually was being very bold.  She was enjoying herself rolling around with the girls, unlike her usual shy self. Gamer figured that she was just letting go sene as though she couldn't really die in this game or get hurt for more than a few seconds.

     Gamer was happy to see her friends adapting to the new world and was now confident that they'd be able to face the levels ahead together so she strolled over to the controller and selected level one. She turned to the group and smiled.

"Here we go!" She yelled excitedly. Suddenly the girls all felt themselves being lifted into the air and transported through a series of tubes.

     Gamer angled herself carefully and when the checkpoint opened at the start of the level she popped out, landed on her feet and stepped to the side waiting for the train wreck to come. Close behind Gamer, Dash plopped out of the tube before attempting to fly, forgetting she had no wings in this body and face palmed the soft fabric ground. She groaned and lifted her head only to be pushed back down by apple jack landing on top of her in a heap.

"Oh mah, that wer' odd." She said in a confused tone. She then looked down and say Dash trying to crawl out from underneath her. "Sorry Dash, ah seemed to ave landed on top of yer!" She exclaimed happily, winding Rainbow up by not getting off.

     Suddenly, Pinkie shot out of the tube and straight into AJ's head, knocking her forward violently. Pinkie then hopped up and strolled off to Gamer who greeted her with a smile and a High five. Rarity, Fluttershy and Twilight then plopped out of the cannon at pretty much the same time landing on top of Apple Jack and Rainbow Dash. Rainbow let out a strained breath before Apple Jack hastily got off of her sending the other rolling off too.

     Gamer and Pinkie lay on the floor laughing at the chaos happily whilst they all struggled to get to their feet.

"Alright, this is level one... ish... So uh just come with me, I'll help you all but just don't worry and most importantly, have fun!" Said Gamer.

     The girls then all ran off together to face the challenges. Almost straight away they reached some jumps over fire, they looked very hot.

"Alright, try and jump over the fire, if you die you'll just respawn at the next checkpoint so don't bother yourself worrying, also the sacboy with the most points wins, you get points by running into those bubbles over there.

Surprise visit

Gamer then charged off towards the fire and hopped over it with ease.

"Effortless" she said in a high tones voice. Rainbow Dash giggled before darting off after Gamer Shot followed by the others, Twilight at the back.  Dash got up to the gap and jumped over it effortlessly before stopping for a second, looking back and continuing on the trail.

     Rarity leaped over the jump gracefully, her hair loving even more beautiful as it bounced when she landed. Apple Jack bounded over the jump then reared up and took off after Rarity. Pinkie bounced over the jump cheerily and continued skipping along. Fluttershy managed to hurdle it pretty easily without even stopping to think. This shocked Twilight greatly but she shrugged it off and continued.

     When she reached the jump she stopped to look down, losing her momentum. She jumped for it, and made it by the skin of her teeth. She pulled herself up to her feet and sprinted after the others. Gamer was already at the next checkpoint but decided to wait there for a minute. Rainbow wasn't far behind and got there fairly quickly slightly our of breath.

"This is awesome!" She exclaimed.

"I know right, so having fun?"

"Absolutely! I love this, so what's next?" Replied Rainbow with a smile

"The rest of the level I guess, we should wait for the others though." Dash nodded with a smile and continued to look back waiting for the girls.

     Meanwhile Rarity was having a ball with Apple Jack as they stuck together whilst they ran the level. Rarity loved how she looked in this world, there were so many possibilities for clothing for these creatures she could design. Apple Jack just enjoyed a good challenge and a nice run with her friends not the mention the rush from jumping pits of fire.

     Everypony was laughing and having fun by the time they met Gamer at the first checkpoint.

"Alright everypony, lez go!" As Gamer Shot shouted this all of the girls made a mad dash for the next obstacle. However when they reached it they all stopped at the edge.

"Gamer! We won't make this jump!" Yelled Rainbow.

"You don't jump retard, you swing" replied Gamer from the other side. She gestured towards a piece of face in hanging from a rope over the middle of the pit. She then jumped up grabbed it and seemlessly swung over to the other side. She then repeated that but going the other way. "See easy peasy now come on."

     One by one the girls carefully swung over the gap. When the last sacboy hit the ground they all cheered and hugged, this was quite an achievement for them. Now gavin all the skills they needed they ran off the tackle the rest of the level.

..........

     When they reached the end they all celebrated weakly. They were very glad to complete the level but all but Gamer and Rainbow were exhausted.  As the girls caught their breath Rainbow thought about Gamer and how easy it would be for her to get onto the wonderbolts.

"Gamer, have you ever considered being on a flight squad?"

"Uhm, no why?" Replied Gamer.

     Just as Dash was about to speak the world started to shake violently.

Gamer looked to the sky and saw green sparks spontaneously appearing everywhere. She jumped into the leader board and brought all of the girls into the pod which was shaking also.

"Gamer, what's happening?" Asked Twilight whilst huddling with the other girls in a corner.

"Someone's trying to get us out" she said bluntly. The girls gasped in sync.

"Now just wha' would some pony want t' do that?" Asked AJ, now stood up. Gamer shrugged.

"To get us out?" She replied before laughing slightly. AJ sighed and walked back to the other girls.

     Suddenly in. Bright green flash they were back in Twilight's library still in the huddle they were in before they went into the game.

"Alright, who the fuck did that?" Asked Gamer furiously as the turned out of the huddle. She was met with two pairs of angry eyes looking down in her. "Oh shit." She mumbled.

"P princess Celestia?" Said Twilight

Meanwhile

     In Zebrica, a certain blue pony was busy brewing a potion. She was homeless, jobless and forced to move to Zebrica. Previously she traveled all over Equestria. She loved her life, it was great. She was only trying to share her talents like everypony else did. It wasn't fair, no matter what she tried Twilight Sparkle would always embarrass and ruin her.

     No matter where she went she was ridiculed and laughed at. She was hell bent on getting revenge on this purple prat of a pony called Twilight.

     She added a dead frog to the cauldron and stirred it gently. She laughed maniacally as the liquid turned mossy green. She had done it finally. After years of trying to perfect this potion she'd made it. She jumped around and cheered before deciding to put her plan into action as soon as possible. All she needed was one pony to drink a cup of this brew and she'd have caused the largest epidemic in Equestrian history!

     She used a large ladle to scoop some potion into a cup and sniffed it. She sighed and let the warm steam caress her muzzle. It smelt so good, yet it was so bad. She quickly filled up the rest of her cups and stood up tall. She brushed the dirt off her coat and mane before loading the cups into a cart with the words "soup for the homeless" at the top.

     She set a brisk pace towards the homeless shelter, the cart she was pulling making that quite hard. She'd used the last of her bits to buy the cart and was now broke but it would be worth it in the end.

     As she made her way to the homeless shelter many of the zebras she'd passed waved, nodded or greeted her with a hug. She was well known in that area for her contribution to the community. She often made soup for the homeless, of course it was just so they'd trust her.

     When she arrived she greeted Komi, the zebra who ran the homeless shelter, with a warm hug and a smile.

"It's good to see you child, what have you today?" She asked with a warm smile. The pony tried not to laugh or snicker, a small part of her felt sorry for the zebras she would soon betray, but more of her wanted revenge.

"Just more soup for the homeless Komi, I made it myself as I always do!" She said innocently. She always acted like and innocent foal trying to do good around the villagers.

      Komi smiled and opened the kitchen door for the pony. She nodded and pulled her cart inside. She swiftly set up the cups of "soup" on the counter and waited for the flood of homeless hungry ponies.

     As they entered she smiled warmly at them and waved them over to the delicious smelling soup. They obliged without hesitation. Each of them took a cup, thanked her and found a seat to drink in peace.

     She's made the potion to act in 8 hours so it wouldn't have an immediate effect except for filling their stomachs. She watched as their kind faces looked to her to thank her. She kept her happy front up but inside she felt more guilt than anypony ever had. It was too late to go back now. She already had a room of 30 ponied drinking her potion. She gulped silently and continued to smile and wave.

     One zebra walked up to her once he'd finished his soup. She knew him well, he was a kind pony and he was sort of her, friend. She felt for him the worst. She wished he hadn't come here, but he was very hungry and she knew he would deep down. He smiled warmly and hugged her.

"Best soup yet Trixie."

Get out

     Princess Celestia glared down at Gamer Shot making her back away from her into the corner trying not to be seen. The princess had come for a reason, and Twilight wanted to know why.

     Gamer hit the corner with her back which snapped her out of her sacredness. She stood up, shook her head and glared back at Celestia. The princess didn't expect this so looked away towards Twilight. Gamer smiled slightly at this.

     The princess smiled warmly at Twilight.

"Do not worry my faithful student, this does not concern you, you may leave if you want to." Twilight shook her head. She wanted to know what was going on. The mane six lined up perpendicular to the princess, all eyes on Gamer Shot who stood with her head up high and a sly smile.

      "Get out" snapped princess Celestia loudly. The girls looked at her before realising that she was serious about sending Gamer away.

"Why?" Asked Gamer calmly looking Celestia dead in the eye.

"You are nothing but trouble, you cause chaos and pain wherever yiu travel and I don't want that for Ponyville." Gamer sighed.

" I don't want that anymore, I have friends here, I want to start again, to live a good life." Gamer smiled at the princess only to get a hard glare in return.

"And who in Equestria was stupid enough to make friends with you?"

The princess chuckled lightly and looked to the mane 6. They all trembled, looking very guilty indeed.

"You have to be kidding me? Now you're going to corrupt not only my best student, but the elements of harmony?!" The princess yelled. The mane six were low to the ground in fear.

     Gamer's eyes widened. She looked towards the mane 6, then the princess.

"Oh, they're the elements of harmony, that's why you're so protective of them..."

"That's quite enough Gamer, now as I said before, get out." She stated firmly. Twilight was conflicted. Extremely conflicted. Her teacher was telling her new friend to leave, but if she'd learnt anything from her, it was to stick with your friends and to forgive. She knew she'd regret this but she had to do something.

      "Princess, I think that you should let Gamer stay." Twilight said she stood up tall and looked to the princess whose eyes were wide in shock.

"Twilight... Why? Why would you want such a horrible pony as your friend?" She asked slowly.

"Because Gamer in a nice pony inside, she had a bad childhood that lead to what she did but she's over that now and she wants a second chance. As her friends, we should forgive her and stay loyal because friendship is more powerful than anything else!" Twilight said bringing everypony into a loving hug.

     Gamer smiled and looked up at the princes she sighed and let loose.

"Ok fine, she can stay, but I'll be watching you. I suppose if you can fix Discord you can fix her." Everypony smiled and hugged once more.

     Gamer couldn't believe it. She really thought she was out of here when the princess showed up. She didn't think in a million years that Twilight would stick up for her. I guess that's because she's never had proper friendship before. She never knew that friendship is magic. She'd need it more than ever soon...

The infection

     Trixie slowly walked back to her campfire, head hanging low. She thought of all the ponies she'd betrayed and hurt. She was so lucky for them to trust her, only for her to abuse that trust and poison them all, telling them it was soup.

     She sighed to herself softly before deciding that there was no point being miserable about something inevitable. It was time to look in the bright side. Twilight was going to die a painful and horribly slow death. Trixie chuckled sinisterly  whilst thinking of Twilight lay on the ground, limp and dead soaked in her own blood.

      It didn't take long for her to get back. When she did, she climbed into her sleeping bag by the fire and snuggled up to it. She'd have to be fast and precise tomorrow. She made a mental plan of what to do before calling it a day and drifting off to sleep. She had sweet dreams of the mane 6 in a blender, then the mane 6 in a microwave and finally the mane 6 strapped to a firework.

..........

     She woke up as soon as the light from the sun hit her face. She needed to act quickly. She threw a tin if beans onto a rock next to the fire and made her way over to her large pile of bricks she'd been collecting. She had a very large amount of bricks and set out building a wall around the camp using a failed potion she'd made as glue.

     One she'd finished, she used some long wooden planks to make a ramp up to the top of the wall so she could stand on top of it and address a large crowd essentially. Finally she dug a small hole in the ground she'd marked with a few leaves and reached inside. She pulled out a large hoof full of brains from small woodland creatures she killed for food. She trotted up the ramp and laid out the brains along the top of the wall, as if she was trying to attach something.

     She was ready now and it was just in time too she sat son top of her wall and sharpened her knives. She would need them in case of any trouble causers. Sure enough she heard a  loud scream coming from the village. The first of many. She thought.

     About 10 minutes later and the screaming had become constant and eerie. She looked out to the horizon. Nopony to be seen. She stood up and began screaming and shouting to get attention sure enough a slow silhouette could be seen limping towards her very, very slowly.

     After a while there were many more figures on the horizon some closer than others. She smiled evilly at her creations. They all dragged themselves over towards her until they surrounded her complete, but this was part of her plan.

     They looked like the zebras they once were, yet they did not. Their coat was singed, dark and slightly green and their eyes glowed yellow. They limped around slowly and had scars and blood all over their bodies. Some even had missing limbs.

      They surrounded Trixie's wall, eyes fixed on the brains.

"Hello my army!" Everypony looked towards Trixie and stopped their screaming and moaning. "I see you enact something of mine hmm?" Somepony then pointed to the brains followed by everypony else. "Yes, yes I know the brains. Well, you can have as many as you want if you just follow me." The 'ponies' looked around at eachother. Before nodding greedily at Trixie.

"Good. Now we march on Ponyville, tomorrow the rest of Equestria!" The ponies cheered and screamed before Trixie threw a brain for them causing a large scramble for it. She jumped down and became walking towards Ponyville. "Come. My little zombies!"

A slightly scarier game

      Rainbow was first to jump out of the hug followed by everypony else shortly after her. Gamer give everyone a warm smile and a nod.

"Really everypony, thank you so much! I really thought I'd be gone. Thanks for sticking up for me, it means a lot." Everypony smiled back each saying 'no problem' to Gamer.

     Rainbow was tired of this now. She didn't really like the long hugs and the sappy conversations too much. They'd been happening a lot lately and she wanted some fun.

"So uh, can we play another awesome game now?!" She shouted happily at Gamer. Everypony looked to Gamer to see her decision. Gamer smiled devilishly.

"Ok, but this time we're going a little bit more hardcore." She pulled them into a huddle around the Xbox. "Hold on to your horseshoes, this gon' be crazy!" After saying this she pushed the button on the Xbox and they were once again pulled inside by the ancient magic.

     Only Gamer knew what game they'd be playing and she hadn't been so merciful on them this time. She was excited, this was her favourite game, but she was also nervous she didn't know how these gentle ponies would do in a game like this.

...........

       Apple Jack opened her eyes to find herself in the middle of a grotty, dirty and foggy town square. She tried to stand up, and found out that once again they were no longer ponies. They were much like the sacboys that they were before but more... realistic now.

     She stood up how she's practiced in the other game and looked around. There were four roads going away from the square, each lined with broken down shops and other buildings that were in tatters.

      Then she realised how warm it was. She wiped a bead of sweat from her forehead and noticed the source of the heat. There was a large pit of lava in the centre of the square and other cracks in the ground with fire bursting through them flickering away. She instinctively backed away from the lava pit and bumped into somebody else.

      She looked around and saw another person with rainbow hair coming out from the bottom of her  helmet and falling down her back and shoulders. She decides that this was rainbow but why wasn't she blue then? She didn't know, but she didn't really need to find out so she ignored this.

"Hi rainbow, where are we?" She asked softly. Rainbow dash shrugged and walked past her and began to explore the map.

     Apple Jack then decided to see what she looked like. She pulled her hand up to her face and saw that she was holding something small and black in an L shape. She looked at it for a while trying to decide what it was before shrugging it off and looking down at her hair. It was blonde and reached the middle of her chest where a neat red bobble held it together.

      When she looked down she found two lumps in her chest in the way of her vision that were inside the tight black vest she was wearing. She looked down at her legs which were in tight  shorts like everybody else however hers were orange. Her clothes were quite dirty and smelly and her helmet strap was a bit itchy on her chin.

      She looked around once again and saw everybody gathered around a person with soft, wavy pink hair with a green streak leaking from her helmet down to her hips and she had blue shorts with an Xbox logo on one of the pockets. Then it hit her. Heir cutie marks were on their pockets. She smiled to herself and ran over to meet the others.

     There was one with sharp, glossy black hair with purple and pink highlights- Twilight, one with pink hair much like Gamer's but a bit more gentle and curvy - Fluttershy, one with curly pink hair spewing out of her helmet from almost all angles and one with beautiful purple ringlets coming from the bottom of her helmet.

      All of the girls looked at each other to see who they were before turning to Gamer to see where they were.

"Ladies, pick up your pistols and your knives. Welcome to Black ops 2, zombies!" The girls gasped. Zombies? They had no idea what the hay they were but they sounded scary. "Listen up, I know this sounds bad but you need to kill as many as you can." Everybody stared at Gamer, scared at the thought of killing somebody. "Come on people! You just use your pistol like this" she fired a shou on the ground next to their feet causing the others to shudder. "Seriously, if you don't kill them they'll kill you so get on it. Either shoot them or knife them but either way kill them."

    The girls shared some uneasy looks before Twilight eventually nodded. "Good. Now we're on the town survival map, tell me when you run out of ammo, I'll show you how to get a new gun, we need to go now!" With this Gamer ran through the girls and began shooting and stabbing a few zombies that had sneaked up behind them. All I the mane 6 shrugged looked to each other and began looking around and shooting at every zombies they could did with terrible aim.  They were only on round one too...

New pony in town

Twilight, Pinkie, Rarity, Apple Jack and Fluttershy stared up into the sky waiting for Rainbow Dash to dart across the sky. She swirled, dipped and looped through the air with ease leaving a rainbow trail behind her.

" She's amazing!" Gasped Rarity.

"I wish I could fly like her" sighed Pinkie Pie with a smile.

     The five girls continued to look up at Rainbow dash as she finished off her display.

"So, you like it" Rainbow Dash asked as she landed in front of her friends.

"Like it? We loved it!" Shouted pinkie pie before hugging Rainbow Dash, almost suffocating her.

"Sometimes I think I'm just too cool" said Rainbow Dash proudly.

"Well you must be the most humble pony ah know" laughed AJ.

"You don't need to be humble when you're the best flyer in all of Equestria!" Shouted Rainbow Dash whilst rearing up onto her hind legs.

     Suddenly a pink and green flash shot through the air in-between the girls and Rainbow Dash.

"What in Equestria what that?" Asked Twilight.

"I don't know, but I'll go and find out!" Yelled Rainbow as she darted after whatever it was they had just seen.

     She chased it for a while, it was going faster than she first thought and it took longer for her to catch up to it. Eventually she was level with it and was able to see that it was another Pegasus. She had a blue coat and a pink mane with green streaks. The Pegasus looked at Rainbow, raised an eyebrow and shot off even faster than before.

"Hey, wait up!" Shouted rainbow as she sped up in an attempt to catch up with this mysterious other Pegasus.

   It took some determination and patience but sure enough She caught up with the Pegasus. It then stopped catching Rainbow Dash by surprise sending her hurdling into a tree.

   "Haha, are you ok" the Pegasus giggled whilst flying over to Rainbow Dash who was in a heap at the bottom of the tree.

"Yeah....I'm... Fine" muttered Rainbow Dash as she stood up and shook herself off. The Pegasus flew down and landed next to her.

"So, who are you anyways?" She asked hoping to find out who this new pony was.

"Oh, I'm Gamer Shot, you?" She replied.

Introductions

Rainbow Dash was still a little shaken from the crash but managed to reply.

"I'm Rainbow Dash, nice to meet you." She extended her hoof for a shake not realising that Gamer Shot had already turned around and started to walk away.

     "Where you going?" Asked Rainbow.  Gamer Shot just shrugged.

"Where are you from?"  This time Gamer Shit stopped and turned around to face the curious Pegasus.

"I'm from... A lot of places I guess."

"Oh so you're a traveler?"

"Uh... You could say that..."

"Huh?" Replied rainbow, growing more curious by the second.

" It's a long story but basically..."

" we have plenty of time, why don't you come meet my friends, that way you won't have to tell this long story twice." Said Rainbow.

"Meh, fuck it, I may as well."

"Great!" Rainbow Dash said not really realising what Gamer had said She began to lead Gamer Shot back to where the other five ponies were. All she really wanted to know was how was this pony so fast, maybe even faster than her. She didn't think anypony was or even could be before now.

     Rainbow and Gamer soon reached the other five ponies who were all rather worried about their sixth friend. Their faces lot up when they saw her only to become puzzled when they saw Gamer following her. The ponies all stared at Gamer wondering who she could be.

"Didn't anyone tell you it was rude to stare?" Asked Gamer noticing the confusion on the ponies' faces.

"Oh sorry how rude if us" said Twilight with a weak smile.

"Aaanyway, this is Gamer shot," rainbow said gesturing to the pony by her side. As soon as Pinkie pie realised what Gamer Shot was she exploded forwards almost crushing her. Gamer stepped back in shock as Pinkie popped up in front of her a huge smile across her face.

"Oh boy a new pony! I love it when new ponies come to town! Will you be my friend? Will you please? Will you be my best best best best bestest friend forever? Everypony is my friend and I mean everypony I always have as many friends as possible after all, friendship is magic!" Pinkie pie then stopped to breath heavily as she'd said all of that in one breath.

   Gamer shot was very startled by the pink pony that had been shouting rather loudly in her face.

"Pinkie! What in Celestia's name are you doing to this poor pony?" Said Twilight sternly. Pinkie then turned around looked at the girls who were all giving her a disapproving glare. She then looked back to Gamer who had a look of both terror and confusion on her face. Pinkie then backed up, embarrassed.

"Sorry Gamer, I just get a tincsy winsy little bit excited when a new pony comes to Ponyville" she giggled and Gamer shot soon joined in and soon all 7 of the ponies were laughing together.

"Oh Pinkie I haven't laughed like this for years!" Exclaimed Gamer happily.

"Does this mean we're friends?" Pinkie asked whilst looking up at Gamer with puppy dog eyes.

"Yeah, we most certainly are... Friends."

Celestia

As the morning came princess Celestia nodded at her sister and stepped out onto the balcony of the palace. She raised the sun and cast it 's beautiful warm rays of light all over Equestria. She felt that something was wrong, she didn't know what though.

     "Sister, won't you come here?"

"Yes princess Luna?" Celestia replied.

"Last night I saw, a new dream." She saw that her sister looked puzzled so she decided to explain further. "I do believe that there's a new pony in Ponyville"

"That's wonderful sister" Celestia replied with a warm smile.

"No, she had violent dreams, dreams of raging anger and sadness"

"Go on..." Celestia urged.

"I think she's trouble, well either she's trouble or will be or some trouble will come, I can't tell, I just thought I'd let you know." Celestia nodded.

"I feel something strange brewing too Luna, where is this new pony, and did you get a name?" She asked.

"I believe she stayed with Rainbow Dash, I don't know where she is now."

"And did you get a name?"

"Something along the lines of... Gamer... Shot perhaps?"

"Gamer shot." Princess Celestia said her eyes wide with worry "oh no."
