#5: Virtual World of Ponies

Time Limit: 48 Minutes

I open my eyes to see the digital pixels around my body. It slowly dissolves, before my body is revealed. My pony Coat is pale lighter brown, my mane & tail is coloured in Antique Bronze. There is my wing, as I feel it extended, and I patted on my forehead, to find no horn. That means I'm a Pegasus Pony, and I've chose correct.

It was the year 2060, and the VMMO has become so popular, thanks to the new AmuSphere 3. There were no death game incidents, thank goodness the Sword Art Online was shut down. The nickname I chose for my pony is Bronze Sword. Mainly because I'm always Bronze in the Starcraft 2 game. My name is Derek, and this is my first dive-in, as my brother Dell is on the other VMMO game that is called Bleach vs Naruto. Must be some kind of PVP-Popular game. But I like ponies, so Friendship is Magic Online.

There's the Log Out Option from the Menu. Safe, and being killed in this doesn't mean you die in real life simultaneously. Instead you'll wake up in the hospital and have to wait for thirty minutes. I closed it and begin my gallop. My face gleaming smiles of excitement. It is going to be awesome being in the new world of Equestria. I begin my exploration to find a way out of the Forest. It took minutes, but I've made it to Ponyville. The place same as in the Cartoon. My brony senses are correct.

There, I see other Online Players. Only except there are a few. I turn to the one Commosion.

"Come on. Let's go to Canterlot. It will be much better than any others." The yellow unicorn said,

"Yes... I agree." The Blue Unicorn said, "Let's agree and petition that Canterlot is the only place to be for all players."

"Ugh. Why are you not Unicorns?" There's another Unicorn, coated in Pale Red. "Relog in as Unicorn, Please."

"Oh lay off! We're being Pegasus so we can go to Las Pegasus. Flying is freedom." The Purple Pegasus says,

"Why explore when you can create?"

"I just want flight."

"Let me rephrase. Why explore when you can create?"

"Let me fly!" Then she took off in superspeed.

I shook my head and try to flap my wings, jumping in the air before I made it. Finally. I did some practices 14 days ago all on my own, also watching some Pegasi flying, and learning to fly. I managed to copy their movements and succeed. But for now, I decide to go to Cloudsdale, so I set my position to the Cloudy City, but before I can escape, one recognizable voice catches me.

"Hey! Derek! Why aren't you a Unicorn?!" I turn around to see a Silver Coated unicorn, trotting after me. And that voice belongs to the one person I know. Richie. Oh no... I flap my wings and took off. Flying in the air before that Pony can catch up.

"Sorry Richie, but I got places to go." I smiled, before flying into the cloudy skies. The Silver Unicorn was too late. I've decided, that I will explore everything. But before I can so, I must visit Cloudsdale.

I find some clouds availabe, and use them for resting spots, just before I take off. Clouds after Clouds I jump to before I reach the Cloudsdale City. A city so ancient. So rich. Waters flowing down like a Waterfall. There's even the rainbow one.

I flap my wings and do some exploring. Just then, a Hooded Pony in my sight jumps, with its dagger levitating. I gasped and see it trying to kill me. But I dodged and fly up far away, before turning around to see ponies in hoods. They must be unicorns, and they've managed to find a cloud-walking spell? Why would they invade Cloudsdale City.

I find a train track however on the far grassy ground, and a Train Choo-Chooing their way. I flew down to the train and landed onto the toppy roof of the train. Resting my wings and waiting for awhile, before flapping my wings to fly again. There I see a westernized place. The sign says Trottingham. A moderny city like others. Well... Hopefully it doesn't have unicorn assassins just like we had in Cloudsdale.

And I was right. No assassins at all. But at least that Silver Unicorn that Is Richie won't find me. I fly to the Trottingham and sneak in through the alleys. A Sigh of relief and I started trotting, before knocked over by another pony. This one is a Female Earth Pony, whos coat is butter yellow, and her mane is ruby red.

"Ow." I muttered,

"Oh. Are you okay?" I turn to the Mare, and nodded,

"Yeah. No major damage." I smiled, "My name is Bronze Sword. Just a lone traveller."

"Ruby Tome." She introduced, "My talent is reading."

"Reading?" I said, "But isn't that the Prime thing for Unicorns?"

"Whoever told you that?" Ruby snorted, "Even Earth Ponies can read. They won't read magic, but one could be a mechanic, or even a scientist."

"A Scientist? That would be a cool job." I smiled,

"OH! Sorry, but I must cut our greetings. I'm late for school." She said, making a gallop and waving at me. "Bye. It was nice meeting you, friend." Then she gallops off. But before I can go anywhere, a voice not in the game.

"Derek! Groceries!"

I sighed, before going to the menu and using the log-off, before finding myself back in the Reality. I had Camo shorts and Blue shirt. I took off my Visor and got up before going out to help with the Groceries.

After I got in the last bag, I went back and got onto my game. I layed down and exhaled my breath, before one minute passes.

"Link Start."

Immediately a Dive into the virtual. Loadings, logging in, and there's the 'Welcome Back to Friendship is Magic'. I am now back into my Pegasus Body. I stretch my forehooves before flapping my wings to do some exploring. It was then before I can make a flap away, an explosion. I fly to the incident, to find group of Armored Pegasi, Unicorns, and Earth Ponies battling the Giant Machine. Built in Clockwork and Steam, as I can see the level being high at 60. The players I see, have levels average around 58 to 62. Curses heard for every Player getting fragged.

It only took a while, before the Giant Machine goes down with a Bang. Ponies then clapped their hooves, cheers upon their successful boss raid. I got up and take off into the air, to find some quest givers to start my leveling up.

HyperGamer: I watched Sword Art Online. And I made this similar but without any Death Game because that is a No-No to my own code. So... I hope you enjoy my 5th Short.
