Saga 1 - The Proving Grounds
Page 02 - Pitfall (Atari 2600)


[Azure Dream is Only Available. Click to Start]

The Game HUD on the Bottom Appears. It shows Bronze his Life Gauge, a Number of Lives used to Respawn, and the Power Gauge on the Bottom. There are three Boxes, which Diller guess it represents companions helping him. Only one is available: The Orange Unicorn Azure Dreams.

"The Blocks must be the Power Gauge." Bronze guessed, "Any connection with what I have Selected? I'll find out Soon." He looks around for a bit, "Ahh, Pitfall. The Game I played on the Atari 2600."

Bronze begins running and jumping. Hopping over pits and rolling logs. He stops to analyze each screen reached before tackling, learning hwo far he can jump. Bronze accidently discovered a Fire Button, where he uses a Gun to Fire a Light-Blue laser. This took out the Log. He does the same to another Log before Moving on.

He already noticed the Power Bar filling up after he shot the Logs.

"I should try to stock up the Power Stocks."

He jumps over the Alligators, all who opens and closes its maws. He quick hops over the three before moving on, navigating through different obstacles. He reaches the Swinging Jungle Rope and Grabs, swinging across the water pit before moving on.

"There it is." He reaches the Diamond Ring which then blinks and adds 5,000 to the Score. More Logs and he starts zapping. He continues to fire at each Incoming Logs.

Bronze stops before reaching the edge of the screen, to find a Stranger on the bottom-left side, where it's a Tunnel. A Humanoid like him, who has brown hair like him, but crudely hair-cut. He has Red Outfit instead of Green which Bronze always wear, and Tan Pants while Bronze's is Blue. Not much Detail for Bronze to find since it's all 4-Bit from being inside the Games of Atari 2600.

"Ehh? Who are you?" he asked with a Serious Tone, "You're Unauthorized for this Gate World."

"Bronze Nut." he introduced, "Representing as the Player for Equestria."

"Equestria? Never heard of it." Bronze snorted out of his nose at the Person's Rudeness, turning around to move to the next Screen.

"I would like to stay and Chat, but I'm here to restore the Balance." Bronze runs and grabs the Swinging Rope, jumping across the Blue Pond. He stared at the man before shaking his head and leaving his Face in a Serious Stare.

"No! You are Violating the Law." He pulls out a Revolver, loading up the 6-Shot Bullets. "I'm bringing you in Now!"

He runs forward, trying to find a Ladder. Bronze can see the Enemy Player carrying a Gun like he has, but fires a yellow bullet.

"Time to use the Power Stock." Bronze cracks his knuckles, and a Suspense Comic Screen showing an Orange Unicorn appears on the Screen, with the Subtitler reading 'Astral Guardians'

The Orange Unicorn with Blue Mane appears in a Magical Blink, meditating, summoning light-blue ghostly golems from her Horn coated by Light-blue Magical Aura. Time to put her Spellcast Training in effect, thanks to Princess Twiligiht, Ruler and Teacher.

"A Pony?!" the Enemy Player fires multiple shots, but does no Damage since the Ghostly Golems are invincible.

Bronze runs up ahead, grabbing each treasure and jumping across each Pits and Water Ponds. He noticed the Ladder to the Subterranean Tunnnel, and the Enemy Player is approaching. He waits until the Pursurer climbs up the ladder, before firing a Laser. It zapped the Enemy and left him falling off the ladder and onto the Subterranean Ground.

"Energy Laser?" he coughs, "So we've got an Alien Spy."

"Who are you?" Bronze asked, "Why would I violate such laws?"

"My name and reasons are Classified." he rudely answered,

"Well then, I guess I'll give you a Nickname." Bronze said, "How about–"

"No. Do not do that." He glares, "I don't want any Nickname. Come here and–."

"I cannot do that." Bronze cuts him off, "If you are behind what's happening on Equis, you are the Enemy. Now, I'm giving you a Nickname whether you like it or not. And that is–"

"I SAID NO!" he climbs up and fires a Bullet, but Bronze jumps and fires back with a Laser Shot, knocking the Pursuing Enemy back down on the Ground.

"Oh! One Minute Left!" He begins moving right, grabbing as Much Treasure as he can. The same Pursuing enemy is coming, thankfully Bronze has three Power Stocks. He uses one to summon Azure just before he can fire another bullet from a Pistol.

Azure Dream appears in front of the Pursuing enemy and conjures another Ghostly Guardian, Pony-Shaped, armored, and big. The Pursuing Enemy closes in and shoots, doing no damage. The Ghostly Guardian then delivers a Punch knocking out the Enemy.

[TIME! Thank you for Playing!]

"Whoa! Am I finally Back?" Azure said,

"This has to be the Expy of Abobo's Big Adventure, plus Chain of Memories." Bronze said,

"Wait a minute!" The Pursuing Enemy struggles to get on his Feet, "How did you know about those games? And who is this Alien Friend?"

"I can't tell you her name unless you share it back. Plus this isn't the only Game." Bronze said, "Doom, Quake, Descent, Carrsoft's Capture the Flag, Breath of Fire 1 and 2, Mega Man X1, 2, and 3. I played alot of games in my Childhood before your Kind exiled me."

"That's impossible. We have no record of that Punishment." he said,

"Why not tell us your Name? Otherwise, we won't identify back." Azure Dream said,

"You think this is a Game?!" he said, "He's in violation of the Law."

"You have No jurisdiction here, Soldier." Azure Dream said, charging up her Magic Horn, "Attempt to shoot him, and I will zap you back."

"I'VE HAD ENOUGH!" Refusing to listen to the Fantasy Stories, he aims the Revolver at Bronze, about to pull the trigger to end lives, "I'm going to start taking idiotic lives RIGH–" but the Gunfire did not happen, as Azure fired a Magic Bolt first, knocking the Pistol out of his Hand.

"See? This is no Fake Effects. This is Real magic." Azure Dream said, "Come on, Bronze. We should be done in this Portal World." Bronze nodded before jumping into the Warp Pipe which just appeared, connected back to Equestria.

The Person pursuing him got out his Cellphone. "Identification Number is USM-319432. The Message is to the Planet General C. We've got a Major Problem."
