Note from the author: NOPE this fanfiction is not dead! After finally getting all my ideas out from 'Wishes come True' I finally have time to write other stories! So with further ado, (I never used that... ever, now I see why) let's get started, shall we?

Dylan was confused, he looked around and saw some ponies chatting with others. Some looked confused, others frightened, and some still happy.

Dylan brought up his friends list and typed a message "Meet me at Sugarcube Coner," and sent it to both of his friends. Seconds later he sent another message "Corner*".

Dylan was alright outside Sugarcube Corner and sat down outside. After a few seconds Cameron came running from a distance. When she arrived she said, "Cuber, do you have any idea what's going on?"

"No, my only guess is that it's a bug in the game, but I'm afraid if an update comes... we're not going to get home."

Without them realizing, Shadow Moon arrived, hearing most of what Dylan said. Shadow looked over to his side and Cameron, "Whoa," his wings busted open.

Dylan couldn't help but chuckle at the sight. Shadow looked at him confused, "What?" he said.

Dylan pointed at Shadow's wings, he looked at them then blushed, closing them as fast as he can. "So you think that this is a bug?" Shadow asked.

"I believe it is," Dylan responded, he looked around and saw building suddenly materializing, one had a picture of a sword, another had a picture of a shield and another had a picture of a potion. Multiples of these buildings materialized.

Every player got several messages "Inventory added!" and, "Weapon slots added!"

"What do they mean Inventory and Weapon slots added?" asked Cameron.

On every player materialized saddle-bags and a weapon holster. "I can only guess that," Dylan responded.

"But why is this happening?" Shadow Moon asked.

"I don't know," replied Dylan, "This was only to be an online game for people to hang out with their friends and play around in Equestria, it's E rated. There wasn't any mention of violence."

A screen popped up in front of everypony. A video started playing showing a stallion looking like a mix between Sombra and Nightmare Moon.

It was a black alicorn, his eyes glowed red, with a purple aura around him. "Hello 'everypony'," the black alicorn started. A somewhat deep voice, "I hope you like my new updates, the weapons, shields, potions, also with the player cards, and I changed a little something with the death actions," the stallion said with a chuckle. "Anyway, I have some more stuff to tend to," A giant building as tall as the moutains materialized, "if you want to go back, you'll have to defeat me in this building, I'll be at the top after several levels. Also one last thing before I leave, I added a few NPCs for you... H out," the screen disappeared.

"What does he mean by adding NPCs?" asked Shadow.

Dylan opened up Shadow's player card, now having a health bar, a level and EXP bar. "Well..." Dylan looked over at the Everfree Forest, seeing Timberwolves, actual wolves, sheeps, bunnies, birds, and other creatures in the distance, "he added enemies," he looked at his friends "why else would he have added weapons, a health and EXP bar, plus levels... I can only come up with one idea why all of this is happening plus why we can't log out."

"Why?" asked Cameron and Shadow simultaneously.

"Well, I hate to say it but, guys, we got a hacker."
