Hello everyone. This is my first Minecraft / MLP story. All the characters in the story represent real people.

Sorry if I haven't done a good job to start off with. It will get better as I familiarize myself with the characters.

Enjoy.

Blue Mist leant around the obsidian pillar she was hiding behind and loosed an arrow into the pitch black sky, her pixelated yellow coat and light blue mane glistening slightly in the pale light . Behind her her good friend Paladin Amor, dressed in Golden armor and wielding a bow, also released an arrow before jumping back into cover as a huge black mouth with glowing purple eyes snapped at him.

He stood back to back with Blue Mist and resumed firing at their elusive foe. "Where in Celestia's name is everyone else?" He shouted.

"I don't know." Said Mist risking a peek around the pillar. "Rough Rider and Xzavior were destroying the crystals on top of the towers last I saw them. Blobking and Lunar Eclipse are dug in over there." She gestured to a small fort made of end stone from which the odd arrow arched up into the sky. "Steel Bullet and Credit Pony were near the spawn point and Iron Hammer's gone underground."

"Great, we're alone." Said Paladin. "How many arrows you got left?"

"2 stacks." Said Mist. "You?"

"1 and a half." Said Paladin. "Ok on 3, you make a run for Lunar and Blobs fort. I'll cover you. 1, 2, 3." He stepped around the pillar and launched an arrow. Mist ran full tilt towards the fort, she made it just in time, leaping over the wall as the enderdragon's jaws snapped at her heels.

"Ok, now you." She called from her shelter. Paladin psyched himself up and ran. He almost made it, only for the dragons jaws to clip him and throw him off target. "No, Paladin!" Cried Mist. Paladin desperately tried to find somewhere to hide but the end was a very flat place, no decent sized mountains or caves.

Just as the dragon was about to over run him, a brown pegasus, also wearing gold armor, swooped down and slashed at the dragon with an iron sword. The dragon turned and flew back upwards into the sky. "Come on colt, move it." Shouted Rough Rider. Paladin didn't have to be told twice. He turned and dove into the fort with Rider hot on his tail.

"Nice to see you again." Said a voice. Paladin looked up and saw that Steel Bullet and Credit Pony were also in the fort. Steel was an Earth pony with a dark blue coat and brown mane and tail, not that much of it was visible under his black suit. He was holding an iron sword. Credit Pony was purple unicorn with 3 freckles just below his eyes. He was also wearing glasses and clutching a bow.

"Where were you two?" Rough Rider asked.

"We got ambushed by Endermen at the spawn." Said Steel. "Lucky Lunar and blob built this place or we would've been dead."

"Speaking of you two, how are you faring?" Mist asked Lunar and Blob.

"I lost my sword in the first battle." Said Blob. "All I got left is a book, some food and and this diamond shovel I just found.

"I'm good." Said Lunar. "Where are Iron Hammer and Xzavior?"

"I don't ahhhh." Shouted Rider as the block below him suddenly vanished. He fell a few blocks before flapping his wings and re-emerging from the hole. "I found them." He said. There was the characteristic sound of a few dirt blocks being placed and two ponies emerged from the hole, the first, Xzavior, was a changeling, his body being completely black with a crooked horn and bug like wings. The second, Iron Hammer, was a pegasus. He had a blonde mane and tail while his coat was khaki in colour, his wings were tipped with white and his body was completely encased with Iron armor.

"So how's your day going?" Asked Hammer.

"Good now that we're all here." Said Blob. "Now lets go kill that enderdragon."

"Wait wait wait." Said Paladin. "Lets take inventory of what we have left. Rider..."

"I got my armor, my sword, my bow and a few blocks of TNT." Said Rider.

"I have a full set of stone gear, my iron armor a bow and a million ender pearls." Said Iron Hammer.

"I have food, a shovel and a book." Said Blob.

"A bow and my leather armor." Said Xzavior.

"How the hell did you get leather armor?" Asked Iron.

"Privileges." Said Xzavior. "Anyway, Steel...

"Iron armor, sword and a bow. Oh and a bunch of potions here as well." Said Steel.

"Bow and sword." Said Credit Pony.

"Bow and Diamond sword." Said Lunar, swinging her sword a little.

"Iron sword and Chain mail armor." Said Mist.

"Where did you find that?" Asked Rider.

"Paladin gave it to me if you must know." Said Mist. "So Paladin, you have a plan."

"Actually I do Misty. Rider, how much TNT do you have.?"

"28 blocks, why?" Asked Rider.

"Rig this place to blow, we'll draw the dragon in and detonate the fort." Everyone turned and looked at him. "What?" He asked.

"You know that probably won't work." Said Iron.

"Anyone got a better idea?" Asked Paladin.

No one responded until blob jumped out of the fort and shouted in caps "ALRIGHT, LETS DO THIS LEEERRRROOOYYY JEEENNNKKKIIINSSS."

"Oh for Gods sake." Said Paladin and Mist at the same time before lunging after him, followed by everyone else except Rider who began placing TNT around the forts walls.

The enderdragon quickly jumped the running group, forcing them to scatter, arrows flew in all directions. "Save your arrows." Shouted Paladin. "Only fire if you know you can hit the target."

At that moment Rider appeared next to him. "The charge is set. We just need to get that thing close to it."

"So, who's doing the suicide run?" Asked Mist, firing an arrow and missing.

Someone cleared their throat in the chat bar but was ignored by everyone.

"Who'd be brave enough to do that?" Asked Paladin.

The same person cleared their throat again. Only to be ignored again.

"Couldn't we rig it with redstone?" Asked Mist.

"No. I don't have any." Said Rider.

"I'll do it." The so far outspoken person said.

"Plasma Rose?" Asked Paladin. "What are you doing here?"

"I followed you guys." Said Rose. "You said something about blowing up the dragon."

"Oh nuts." Paladin swore and leapt forward avoiding the dragons jaws by inches. "Rider, brief Rose."

"Right." Said Rider. "That little pile of end stone is a fort and i've laced it with TNT." He passed Rose a lever. "Run out there, attract the dragon and run for the fort. Ignite one of the blocks and get the hell outta there. Got it."

Rose nodded her head. "Good luck then." Said Rider.

Rose waited for the dragon to veer back into the sky to avoid another barrage of arrows before rushing into the open. The enderdragon, immediately spotting a lone and vulnerable target, turned and raced towards her.

"Run Rose run." Shouted Xzavior.

"Hurry, it's gaining." Shouted Lunar.

Rose ran as hard as she could, using the double tap sprint whenever she could, but the beast was still closing in. When it was nipping at her tail she dove through the open top of the fort, the low flying dragon glitched and got stuck on the fort wall. Rose whipped out the lever and planted it next to one of the TNT blocks. "Adios dragon breath." She whispered and flicked the switch.

The block ignited, flashing white as it counted down to destruction accompanied by a hiss similar to a creepers. Rose ran like hell. Behind her she heard an explosion, followed by 12 more in quick succession as the 13 blocks of TNT blasted the enderdragon back into the dark sky. It flew once in a circle, then wrapped its wings around its body and began to glow. Everyone averted their eyes as the brightness intensified.

When they looked back the dragon was no more, in its place was a fountain of darkness surrounded by experience orbs. Cheers and cry's of victory rang in the chat bar as all 10 players celebrated their win. "Well done Rose." Said Rider, approaching her.

"I fell a bit queasy." Said Rose.

"Now that you mention it I do feel a bit dizzy." Said Paladin. "Anyone else?"

Everyone else mumbled something about having similar symptoms. "I think i'll sign off for a while after we get back to Ponyville." Said Rider. "Lets get outta here." With that he leapt into the fountain. Closely followed by the others.

What greeted them was not the ending screen that Notch used to troll players, but a swirling mass of black and purple. At the same instant all across the world, 10 minecraft players face planted against their computer screens and disappeared in a flash of black.

Location- Yogscast offices (Yog Towers)

London

England

Time- 8:30am...

A dark entity crept through the halls of Yog towers. It was well before any of the Yogscast crew would arrive, being a Sunday and all, so no one was there to witness as the shadowy creature sprouted a pair of green smoky eyes.

It quickly made its way into one of the many offices that made up the building and went straight into one of the many computer screens. The machine immediately turned on bypassing the password screen. It then began sifting through files, searching for a new host.

"The space man. No, not intimidating enough, the dwarf, not tall enough, the scientist, no, just no." It then stumbled into a backup file and found just what it needed. A pale figure with a black suit and a face similar to a creeper. "Perfect." The entity growled, which was turned into actual speech by the speakers.

At that moment there was the sound of someone inserting a key into a lock followed by a door opening. The creature began to shut down the computer but too many files were open and would take too long. The office door opened to reveal the owner. Martyn Littlewood. "Hmm, don't remember leaving this on." He said, walking over to his desktop and looking at all the open character files on screen. "Hmph, very funny Sips." He began to shut the documents.

The creature decided to make a break for it. The computer screen suddenly changed from the normal desktop display to a swirling mass of black and purple. Martyn reared backwards away from the screen but whacked his head on his microphone which was resting on its stand above his head. He slumped forward, fell against the screen and vanished in a flash of black.

Well there it is, first chapter. Many more to come.

Until next time. TALLY HO.
