Chapter 2: The Three Tests

Previous Chapter

Derpy Hooves was crying out loud now. Everything Derpy had has just vanished into thin air. Derpy Hooves had no house, no daughter, and nopony to love. They all vanished into thin air. She is a part of this silly group. It's all her fault. She can't fix this. She's a retarded, useless pon-

"Derpy," said Twilight, "Don't be upset. It's not your fault. I'll find a way to save them." A deep voice came from above, "Silly ponies. You cannot save them. They're gone forever. Unless you complete the three tests." Rainbow Dash said with confidence, "What are these 'three tests'? I could beat them in no time at all!" The voice replied, "Well, rainbow one. Stand on the ground to find out." Rainbow Dash stopped flying, and as soon as she touched the floor, it opened like a trapdoor and went into a visible room.

"This," said the voice, "is the first test." The girls looked around the room. Rainbow Dash said angrily, "I see nothing but a hallway!" The voice then said, "Fly through the hallway." Rainbow Dash shrugged and flew through. When Rainbow Dash got to the middle of the hallway, a bunch of spikes popped up in front of her. "Woah! You almost killed me!" The voice laughed and said, "Get through it without dying."

Rainbow Dash shrugged and said, "Oh well. I guess I'll just pull off a Sonic Rainboom." Twilight said, "You think you can do that in here Rainbow Dash? I can just use a spe-" "I'm fine, Twilight!", said Rainbow Dash. Twilight rolled her eyes. Rainbow Dash flew to the side of the wall. Rainbow Dash got ready, and took off.

Rainbow Dash was flying pretty fast, but not nearly fast enough to make a Sonic Rainboom. As Rainbow Dash neared the middle of the room, the voice chuckled. Rainbow Dash still wasn't scared. She knew was going to make it. Rainbow Dash flew right past the middle without anything happening. "Good job, rainbow one," said the voice, "but speed wasn't the answer." Rainbow looked confused. What was the answer? Rainbow Dash ignored it, and moved on, with Twilight and Derpy following.

Rarity woke up. Somepony was knocking on her door. She mumbled to herself, what could be so important that couldn’t wait until I was awake? Rarity walked over to the door and opened it, only to find a bouncing Pinkie Pie. Pinkie Pie said, “Hey Rarity! Do you know how to get to Canterlot?” Rarity looked confused and said, “Why do you need to go there now? And no, I don’t know how. I had a dream about living in Canterlot. It was wonderful. I lived wit-” “Rarity, you’re dozing off!”, said Pinkie Pie. “Oh, right,” said Rarity, embarrassed, “But if you need to go to Canterlot, just ask Twilight.” Pinkie Pie replied, “That’s the thing Rarity! I’m looking for Twilight! Applejack told me she went to Canterlot!” “Oh,” replied Rarity. “Well, sorry Pinkie, but I can’t help you.” Pinkie Pie frowned and walked off. Rarity closed her door and got back in bed.

Spike asked Pinkie Pie, “Anything?” Pinkie Pie replied, “Nope.” Spike sighed and walked back to the house. Pinkie Pie bounced towards Fluttershy’s cottage. On the way there, Pinkie Pie stopped and noticed that Derpy’s house was gone. There was a small crater where it was. Pinkie Pie looked above it to find a small hole in the sky. She then heard a deep voice say, “So, pink one, I heard you’re looking for the rainbow one. She’s up here.” A beam of light came down from the hole and transported Pinkie Pie into the fourth dimension.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The three heard a familiar voice high above them. “TWITCHY TAIL!!” They all looked up and noticed Pinkie Pie falling from the sky. Rainbow Dash flew under where Pinkie Pie would land and said, “I got her!” Rainbow Dash caught Pinkie Pie and put her down. “How did you get here?” asked Rainbow Dash. “Well, I don’t know. I saw this hole in the sky, heard a weird voice, and then I appeared in here!”, replied Pinkie Pie. Pinkie Pie looked at Derpy and asked, “What happened to your hou-” Twilight stuck her hoof in Pinkie’s mouth and whispered to her, “Derpy’s having some tough times, and she’d prefer not to talk about it.”

The girls walked forward and the ground opened up, revealing a pit of fire. The voice said, “Get past this you puny ponies!” Rainbow Dash readied her wings. “And no, you can’t fly,” said the voice again. Rainbow Dash sighed and said, “Now what are we supposed to do?” The voice said, “Do something, purple one. Or can you?” Twilight took the hint, and looked for something to make a pathway with. “There’s nothing here!”, yelled Twilight. “Yes there is,” said Pinkie Pie, “There’s fire!” Twilight responded, “Pinkie Pie! This isn’t the time for your silly-” Then Twilight realized something. Yes, there’s fire! And that means... smoke! Which means...

Twilight used a spell to put out the fire and another spell to make water out of smoke.The crazy amount of smoke created enough water for the four to swim across and get out on the other side. The voice said, “Very impressive. You’ll be in for a treat on the last test. I heard that it can only be completed by one pony in all of Equestria. Believe it or not, that exact pony is among us. Also, I forgot to mention that you’re playing a game that will change everything for yourselves.” The four looked shocked. A game that would change their lives? Sounded pretty intense. Rainbow Dash protested, “So this is a GAME? That can kill us?” The voice responded, “Yes, but the thing is that you won’t die. There’s a reason that all of you are here. Well, except for the pink one.” Pinkie Pie jumped gleefully.

The four walked into the next room, to find... “NOTHING?!”, yelled Rainbow Dash. “We’re supposed to pass a test that’s absolutely NOTHING? What kind of joke is this?” The voice said, “Shut your mouth rainbow one. The objects inside of this room are invisible to the average pony’s eyes. There is, well, was, one pony that could see them however. We were friends. Best of friends. Until she met Dr. Whoof. Anyways, enough of that. Let’s get to testing.” Pinkie Pie stared at Derpy and said, “I think he means you!” Derpy looked at Pinkie Pie and said, “Well, my eyes have been fixed. I don’t think there’s anything I can do now. My cutie mark is nothing anymore. I’m not Derpy Hooves anymore.” Derpy Hooves got up and said, “Sorry for wasting everypony’s time.” Derpy started silently crying.

The voice said, “Good job Derpy! I mean, gray one! You have partly completed your task.” A small hole opened in the ceiling and out came a beam of light that hit Derpy. Derpy’s eyes became crossed again. Derpy Hooves fell on the ground. “Ouch! What just happened?” Derpy Hooves got up again and looked around. She saw something in the air very clearly. “I see it! I see it!” Derpy flew up to the key and grabbed it. She looked around and saw an invisible exit door. She then flew down to the door and opened it with the key. The ponies cheered. They completed the tests.

“Very good. Rainbow one, you are the sense of bravery. Purple one, you are the sense of smartness. Derpy, you are the sense of... well... being Derpy,” said the voice. “Ooh! What am I?”, asked Pinkie Pie happily. “Umm, you’re the sense of... helpfulness?”, replied the voice. Pinkie Pie danced around happily.

“Even though you beat the game, you four still have the challenge of saving Equestria. Prove yourselves worthy and save everypony.” The four smiled and hi-hoofed eachother. “Let’s get to saving Equestria!”, yelled Rainbow Dash. And with that, they were off to save the fate of Equestria.
