Chaos Hero: Attack of the East Warriors
Chapter 4: 4. First Game
Previous Chapter Next ChapterDisclaimer: I do not own MLP, or any other franchises. This fic is made for fun and not for profit.
Day Three after all this, Derek has been taught how to use Chaos Magic, postponing the task to make friends with Rainbow Dash, figuring out it will be hard to gain her trusts, seeing as she doesn't trust Discord and other Draconequuses after last time ago.
During his freetime, he decides to try and replicate his own room, with a Door in the basement. It was a success. There's the Computer with widescreen Monitor. Differences is the rocky stones, meaning no sun.
When Twilight comes in, she looked Surprised.
"How did you... That is too many stuff."
"I took your advice, Twilight." Derek smiled, "And warped in one thing at a time."
Derek gets to work showing Twilight around his new Room. The computer, widescreen, his TV with the PS3 hooked up. She was fascinated that there's some high-tech objects available to him.
Derek introduced Twilight to his Current Gaming CPU. When it is launched, and the Desktop ready, a wallpaper of Rapidash is shown. Surprisingly the Internet to belkin works.
"You said Humans know about our kind." Twilight said, "I like to see it."
Derek nodded, and use Google. He types in 'MLP' and sees Friendship is Magic. He finds 'My little wiki' and clicks, and what Twilight shes upon exploring frowns her.
"That doesn't look like us." Twilight said,
"True." Derek smiled, "This is the past gen before you girls."
Derek let Twilight watch the monitor, exploring through the toys. When Derek reaches the toy similar to Twilight, she looks fascinated much further, when Derek reach the 'Media Appearances' showing the old gen version of Twilight.
"Ooo. I can't wait to meet our ancestors." Twilight clopped her hooves. "This will be a fun experience for us."
The browsing was cut short with Pinkie Pie bursting through the door.
"Twilight! Twilight! You gotta come quick!" Pinkie bouncing up and down, "There's a blue magic dome at the Ponyville Plaza."
"Trixie? She's back?" Twilight's eyes widened in surprise. Her rival who wanted to defeat her has returned for another revenge.
Derek went with the two Ponies, following to the dome everypony can see. They reach it and see most ponies staring at it. Derek met up with Rarity who also saw it.
"Whoa. Cyber Dome." Derek said, and both stared at him. "Well that's what it looks like."
"But what's it doing here." Twilight said,
"Twilight?"
The three turns to Applejack, walking here.
"What are you doing here?" Derek asked,
"Looking for mah sister Applebloom." Applejack said,
"I think I saw your sister and mine running inside it." Rarity answered,
"Oh no... Something might corrupt her." Applejack then trotted inside the Dome, which she phased through. Rarity Followed also.
"Girls! Wait!" Twilight was too late,
"I'm going too." Derek said, "If anything to save those girls." and Derek ran inside. Unsurprising, Twilight followed, telling Pinkie to stay here and tell the others the situation. They arrived inside the grassy dome, to see Applejack and Rarity, hugging the Crusaders. The two Turned around.
"You two." Applejack began.
"This could be a Trap." Twilight said, "We don't know what kind of tricks Trixie can do."
"So... How do we get out of this dome?" Rarity asked,
"I have the answer." An unknown but pitched voice is heard with echoes. The magic ball is being flown from far to the ground near the four. Derek points at it, and the three turns to it. The Magic white ball splashes, shapeshifting into a black & white teddy bear, with red and black eyes. "Phe-he-he! Welcome! Welcome to the Gaaaame Doooome!"
"You must be Monokuma?" Derek whispered a guess, The bear from Danganronpa. After two games watched on youtube, he's alive.
"That's right! I've been waiting for this moment to test your powers, Draconequus." Monokuma hopped in menacing cheerfulness.
"That's the one the Appleloosan told me." Twilight said,
"This could be a bothersome." Rarity said,
"Yes it is. I am the host of this dome, all thanks to my new power." It said,
That Amulet, Twilight thoughted, That's the Alicorn Amulet. Somehow it's modified into a blue version. Looks like Sombra's highly prepared. But let's see about that.
"You've all been wondering how this works." Monokuma explained, "This dome comes in different video games, containing different objectives. To make the dome dissapear and remove the curse, all you have to do is complete those objectives. But... If you fail or lose the game, then the Dome throws you out, and also preventing you from returning for 6 whole hours."
"So all we have to do is beat those objectives to make the Dome go away?" Derek reviewed, and Monokuma nodded. Derek catches his fist, pumped up. "Okay. I'm game."
"We'll help too." Twilight said, joined by Rarity and Applejack. Before forgetting, Applejack turned her head to the Cutie Mark Crusaders.
"Applebloom. Stay with me."
"I'll protect you Sweetie Belle. Scootaloo, why don't you stay with Twilight."
"Good idea." Scootaloo sighed, wanting to get action.
"Excellent!" Monokuma clapped, before hovering in the air. "I have bunch of games you played in the past, Derek. But more which you hadn't played. Let's try an easy one. Civilization V: Gods & Kings, Brave New World, and all DLCs! Your objective is to defeat another nation in a War! Have Fun!"
Monokuma blinks out of the world. Derek sees the interfaces. Just like Princess Luna showed him in his dream.
"And you know how this game works?" Twiligth asked,
"Unfortunately to Monokuma, I do. Thank Luna showing me this." Derek answered, "Okay, let me run you through the Crash Course."
Five minutes and their Cities are built at the south side after showing the basic techniques of this game. The three gotten acquainted with the Game Rules: through buildings and units. Derek takes pride getting Archers for defense. Applejack gotten interested in the Honor policies through reading the floating interface. In fact there's all the interfaces just like in Civilization V.
They've begun clearing away the Barbarians, getting more gold, and research powers. They've reach the renaissance era, where Gunpowder will be introduced. Soon, they started training Musketmares, Cannons, some Lancers, and Crossbows for Derek. They finally meet a single Civilization, Mongolian, and the Window Interface shows the leader, who isn't Owa, but someone else.
Kiyotaka Ishimaru. Derek thoughted, while in his Roman War house, That must be the AI Verison Monokuma designed...
"I AM LORD KIYOTAKA!" He greeted in a loud voice way, "THERE IS NO ROOM FOR GIRLY PONIES! SO PREPARE FOR WAR!" Group of seven covered their ears.
"And where'd he learn the Royal Canterlot voice?" Applejack asked at the German war-room, her ears covered.
"Oh great." Derek groaned, "And already we are at war." as he can see the Diplomacy interface.
"Got that right." Monokuma said, his Camera Interface opening, "There will be no peace in this game. Only War!" he laughs in a evil way before the Interface closes.
"I hope you are prepared." He raised his fist in the air. "I WILL BRING JUSTICE IN THE NAME OF MONOKUMA!" Then Kiyotaka's window shrinks and closes.
"Rude and Loud." Rarity groaned at her French throne, as she held her ears down. Sweetie Belle too.
"Argh my ears hurt."
"Where'd he learn to yell like that?" Scootaloo asked, given no answer.
"Come on Team." Twilight said, focusing in the Japanese war room with getting Research power up, "We got a War to win."
"And zip his mouth." Derek slowly uncover his ears, "When we're done with him."
"Rainbow! Rainbow! Come here quick!"
It was Pinkie calling Rainbow as she passed by. She flew down to the ground where the glowing blue dome is still on.
"Pinkie! What's going on? Why's the Blue Dome thingie here?"
"That's the thing. It must be one of Trixie's tricks." Pinkie made short info.
"Trixie?! She's back?!" Rainbow was surprised,
"Not to worry." Pinkie said, "Twilight, Derek, Applejack, and Rarity's inside to rescue the Crusad-"
"Him?! Why is he tagging along?" Rainbow grown angry after hearing that name. "He shouldn't be trusted. He shouldn't even get involved."
"Because He's going to help rescue the Cutie Mark Crusaders." Pinkie answered, stunning Rainbow Dash.
"It's true, Rainbow..." Behind is Fluttershy walking forward, "He helped me save a Poor Manticore and Elizabeak."
"You-You can't be serious!" Rainbow shouted, with her jealousy growing, and Pinkie stopped bouncing after hearing what she said. Rainbow thought to herself, He's desperate trying to gain trusts. He won't rest until he does so. I think I should-
"What is wrong with you?" Pinkie's words cutting her off, giving her a glare. "Why are you becoming a meanie pants? All he was doing is-"
"He's trying to earn our trusts so he can betray us! Why are you still being nice to him?" Rainbow shouted, cutting Pinkie off.
"W-What?!" Fluttershy and Pinkie shouted, and few ponies are shocked at what he said.
"That's a terrible thing to say!" Pinkie glared. Rainbow trying to get them to listen, and before Pinkie can try to rant about her decision, Fluttershy shushed Pinkie with one hoof.
"Pinkie. Can you excuse me?" Fluttershy whispered, "I need to have a word with her."
"Um sure." Pinkie said, then Fluttershy dragged Rainbow far from the crowd, so she can start scolding her for abandoning the task.
Back at the Battlefield, five musketmares each from Derek, Twilight, and Applejack while Rarity is getting the Musketeers ready for battle. Derek also had three Crossbowmares for longer range. As for Kiyotaka, there are Musketmen and some Cannons ready for battle.
Kiyotaka is quick to go first, ordering the Cannons to fire. Up to three Musketmares were heavily injured, forcing the team to pull them back.
"Hold it off until my Cannons arrived." Twilight ordered,
Group does so, their Army into fortified position, but Kiyotaka's smart enough not to attack head on. Turn after turn, their Muskets are being pounded by cannon shots. Lancers by Kiyotaka coming in, but Crossbowmares shooting in range.
Applejack got her six Lancers ready, to bullrun the other Lancers controlled by Kiyotaka. The cannons do their best, but three is not enough to prevent overrun. And once the Musketmen becomes low, the Musketmares, Musketeers, and Crossbowmares stormed in.
The Interface opens for the team to show the face of Mongolian Leader.
"NO! I REFUTE! You aren't suppose to win this challenge!" Kiyotaka shouted in dissaproval.
"We just did." Derek smiled,
"Cannons ready." Twilight clapped her hooves. "This is so much fun." The Cannons owned by Twilight marched to the only city, and it was only a matter of time until they conquer it, and the chiming sounds means they done something right. And that the virtual world dissolving into holographic pixels, showing holes of the dome. The Crusaders cheering for the rescue. Monokuma appeared in front of the four warriors.
"Hue-hue-hue-hue! That was an amazing performance!" He said,
"Alright. Enough games." Twilight glared at the bear, "What is Sombra up to?"
"Would you like to know?" The Monokuma flying like Discord, circling around the group, "This is merely a Warmup, and you four won't survive the next challenge." Monokuma hovers deep in the air before flying away.
"Come here, you!" Applejack galloped after the bear, tossing a lasso. But Monokuma blinked away before the lasso lands a hit. "Dang. He got away."
The dome evaporates, sending them back to the real world in Ponyville with all the Ponies still here. 'Yays!' are heard, meaning the ponies are safe. What they didn't notice is Fluttershy with Pinkie.
"Fluttershy? What are you doing here?" Twilight asked,
"Ooo! You'll never guess what happened!" Pinkie bounced, "Fluttershy told Rainbow off after she tried to rant about him!"
"Ohh! Scootaloo!" Fluttershy zoomed and hugged the orange pegasus.
"You oughta thank Derek." Scootaloo smiled, pointing her hoof at the nerdy human. "He helped them saved us Crusaders."
"Umm... Where's Rainbow by the way?" Derek asked, "Rainbow's here before, isn't she?"
"Oh yes. She just left." Fluttershy answered, "I can't believe she would say something horrible." she shook her head in shame, then turn to look at Derek. "You saved the Crusaders, making you not the bad Draconequus. Thank you." She zoomed and hugged Fluttershy, earning the 'Awws.' from the crowds, making Derek blush.
I think... Derek begin his thoughts, I could become a super hero just like in the Comics. Yes... I'll do it... I'll become Equestria's greatest superhero.
"So you are right about the choice."
"The brave men with Determination. I see now he'll help us. But... He won't be able to face Sombra or his Warriors alone."
"We have the Elements, Tia. We can send them to aid Derek."
"Too risky. Those Elements subjects are little experienced in Combat. We know Rainbow is a martial artist, but that isn't enough."
"There's No other choice. He needs all the help."
"*Sigh* I guess you are righ-"
The Great Library Door is slammed opened, with an Armored Guard galloping in, and giving a bow.
"Forgive my Interruption, but the Scouts have returned." He said,
"What do we have?" Celestia asked,
"The four Dark Warriors are found in Manehattan." He reported, making Celestia gasped.
"They could end up hurting innocent subjects." She said, before turning her attention to the Guard, "Have Manehattan reinforced with guards, but make sure they don't confront them without any aid. Make sure to keep them away from the Ponies."
"At once." The Guard galloped out of the Canterlot Library, as Celestia pulled out the Blank letter.
'My Faithful Princess Twilight...'
AN: I'll see you next time when I do another chapter.
