The Worst Possible Game EVER

Rainbow woke up with a start at first, not knowing where she was. Recollecting her memory, she calms down as she realizes two things. She's on a strange island, and she's still alive. She is glad that she wasn't murdered in her sleep. Even if she was, the two shady ponies would have to burst down the door, but it didn't seem like doors were a problem for that Roid pony. Rainbow shivers at the thought of how strong that pony must be. Does he take steroids or something? That strength cannot be physically possible, unless he either went through a millennium or by taking some substance to help that kind of muscle growth. The more Rainbow ponders about the pony's unusual girth, the more intimidated she gets. Rainbow decides to unlock the door and head down for breakfast.

When she looks down, she sees Hunter staring at her as if she were expected a second ago to exit her room.

"Ahh! Miss. Rainbow. Good Morning. If you will please, follow me to the diner. You're breakfast awaits." Hunter trots off into a hallway while Rainbow shudders. Staring at those eyes makes her feel all kinds of spooked and uncomfortable. It's as if I were staring into the entrance of death and eternity in limbo, never to return to ever see my loved ones again, forever stuck in the expanse of space to look around and cry out for help, but nopony will ever hear a single word. Forgetting the poetry she just created, Rainbow heads off to the diner with Hunter.

As soon as she steps in, Rainbow is breath taken by the decor of the place. Below her is an elegant carpet that feels soft and plush under her hooves. Along the white walls are crystal lamps with the most beautiful paintings she ever seen, multiple suits of armor, some of which remind her of the Royal Gaurds in Canterlot, and huge windows that give an exellent view of the island in almost every direction. The table is massive with multiple chairs surrounding it. It strikes Rainbow Dash as odd that only she and two others were sitting at it at the moment. Where is everypony else? Rainbow Dash thought. She pushed that aside as she looked up to see the biggest diamond chandelier she ever seen.

"Wow... Quite some decor you've got here..." Hunter laughs to himself at the comment.

"I know. isn't it just beautiful? I've gotten exquisite decorations from many who have come here. Isn't it just striking?" Rainbow Dash nods her head.

"Were they friends?" Hunter laughs rather creepily this time.

"You could say that. Come! Let us have breakfast." Rainbow sits in the chair closest to her as Roid sets an assortment of exquisite foods that not even she could name. Not to mention, she had no clue what these foods were.

"Wait, what is this stuff?" Rainbow dash inquires, poking at her food curiously.

"Oh, these are just some Russian dishes. Try it! You may enjoy what Roid has brought before you." Rainbow picks up her fork and takes a bite out of one of the exotic foods in front of her. After a moment of swishing food around in her mouth, her eyes fly open as she soaks in the taste of the delicious meal. Mind boggled by the taste, she tries some of the other dishes and comes up with the same result. Soon, she starts scarfing down food like there is no tomorrow. On the other side of the table, Hunter starts laughing. "Typical Equestrians. They just can't get enough of their food. In fact, they get too much." Rainbow Dash looks straight at Hunter after hearing the comment.

"Arr you shayin were fat?" Rainbow Dash asks with a mouthful. Hunter just laughs even more.

"I never said that." Rainbow swallows her food.

"But you implied it." She states defensively.

"I might have." Hunter admits.

"But not every Equestrian is. The only one I can think of is this pink puffball of a pony that has no end to her fur!" Hunter gives a mischievous smile.

"Hence, a fat Equestrian." Rainbow gets more angered by this.

"Shut up about Equestrians!" Hunter chuckles.

"Who says I won't?" Rainbow extends her left wing out towards Hunter in a vulgar gesture. "Alright. I'll stop. No need for that kind of language."

Rainbow enjoys her food for a moment before asking a question that has been bugging her a little bit.

"So you said you had something to explain to me yesterday?" Hunter sighs.

"Yes, I suppose I do. You see, I am a hunter just like you." Rainbow leans on the table, listening with interest. "I've hunted all the game the was to be hunted. I've fought manticores, changelings, cockatrices, and timberwolves. Most of which had very interesting ways of attempting to kill me as I was a threat. Some changelings had traps set up when they found out I was coming for them. However, they failed to stop me. I eventually got bored of using guns and such." Rainbow perks her left ear up and cocks her head to the right. "I decided it was time to make things a little more... interesting. So, I dropped the guns and hunted with just a knife." Rainbow widens her eyes in surprise.

"Were you nuts?! Most ponies would never be able to do that!" Rainbow protests.

"Most ponies. Only you and I. Maybe some other ponies with great talent in hunting as well, but I'm still here, living and breathing, right?" Rainbow solemnly nods in agreement. "Anyways, I've hunted like that for a while and I had such great pleasure doing so for a long time. However, I slowly began to realize that doing what I loved most was beginning to bore me. You can bet that I didn't like that one bit. So, there I was in my old home, thinking and pacing back and forth. I was miserable in the state I was. I didn't know what to do. Just then, as I was taking a walk, and an idea hit me as though an anvil crashed on my head! Quite literally, actually." Rainbow raises an eyebrow. What was Derpy doing in Russia? Rainbow wondered. Oh! Maybe that's why she was gone so long from Ponyville a until Twilight's coronation! She never did want to say what happened on her delivery... Then again, she never admits she made an accident because most ponies already know about it when it happens. Exiting her thoughts, Rainbow continues to listen to Hunter's rambling. I found out about this island and bought the place. After that, I got together with Roid and we 'shipped' in our own game from different places." Rainbow perked up at the sound of "game".

"So there is some game here! What kind? Manticores?" Hunter replies no. "Cockatrices?" Hunter shakes his head. "Timberwolves?"

"No, Rainbow Dash. I only ship two kinds of game here and they are the only two that can actually reason! The others are all too stupid to be able to reason with anypony." Rainbow looks upwards trying to think of what Hunter is talking about. "Let it soak in..." Hunter calmly waits for Rainbow to think of what it is. On realization, Rainbow's pupils shrink, eyes widening again, shooting a look straight at Hunter.

"You mean... what you hunt are changelings and..." Hunter slowly nods yes.

"So you finally realize." Rainbow feels a great surge of terror flowing throughout her body. Inside, she feels a huge alarm blaring, telling her she has to get off the island as soon as possible. "While we're on the topic, would you like to see my new set of heads and wings?" Rainbow suddenly feels like she is going to throw up.

"Umm... I think I'll pass... Where's the bathroom?" Hunter sighs.

"To the right down the hall. Second door on your left."

"Thanks. Rainbow flies out as soon as possible, dashing into the bathroom. She rushes to the toilet and opens the lid as soon as possible before losing her breakfast. "Holy shit..." Rainbow closes the lid and flushes before sitting down, holding her hoof to her stomach. In all her life, she never heard of such a thing before. She never heard of this kind of game. Should she even consider it game at all? I gotta get off of this bucking island as soon as possible. Rainbow calms herself down a little with some terror still tearing at her insides. Holy Celestia... I never thought some po...no, monster would go so far into hunting that he would hunt... Rainbow gulps at the thought. Ponies..!
