Once upon a time in the great city of Fielding. A beautiful city with towering buildings that sparkled in the sunlight like a mountain of jewels. A city that owed it’s beauty and great success for a wondrous magical creation invented by two great wizards that could protect the priceless treasures of the world even when being transported through the most unforgiving roads of the world. This amazing invention that everyone in the world happily bought from this city was called, bubble wrap. An amazing creation not only coveted for it’s protecting qualities. But also for the satisfying popping sound it made whenever enough pressure was applied to any of the small bubbles. A terrible crime was committed. A crime so awful that every citizen was in mourning at the news and messages were sent out to call together some of the greatest heroes in the land to their aid. Coming in on the latest passenger ship were six people who may very well be the salvation of this great city.

The first to walk down the ramp was the human bard known as Pegasus. He had long white hair and one golden eye. He wore a purple tunic with frills on his sleeves and the upper part of his pants were needlessly poofy for comedic effect. In his arm was his trusted lyre for which he used to play music for the masses or to accompany his stories of chaotic creatures called toons. Which were particularly popular with the children. Through his lyre he could even summon such creatures and not through a magic book that bitch slaps poor innocent displaced when they try to study it to try and figure out how to create their own toon minions… and pieing them in the face… and giving them a wedgie with magic underwear that appears out of nowhere.

Next was the warforged knight known as Emerl. Not the tallest individual by far he had a gold color paint job with a bit of orange. On his head was a curved, triangular plate with smooth edges with an egg shaped bump sticking out of his forehead and blue, glass eyes. He wore a suit of shiny white armor with a short sword on his back. This knight was known for his ability to quickly learn his opponent's style and develop a counter style for them while on the battle field.

After that was the monk by the name of Buu, who was seriously nerfed for the sake of keeping this story interesting and less predictable but still pretty strong. He was pink and round with some holes on his arms and head On the top of his head was a long antenna that bobbed behind him as walked. He wore white, baggy pants being held up by a belt with an ‘M’ on it’s buckle. He had a black vest and a purple cape. Though not the normal attire for a monk his appearance wasn’t changed because Buu is just that awesome. A master of martial arts this warrior can also wield the power of ki to go beyond his limits.

Next down the ramp was the artificer known worldwide as Jack the handsome. He had dark brown hair combed back and had a pair of goggles on his forehead. He wore stylized leather armor with a tool belt going from his shoulder to his waist so the cross his chest and a utility belt for small gadgets. Oh and his small annoying construct Claptrap who yells at potential customers and accuses them of being a thief when they’re not and only trying to buy neat new toys for the battle field with the massive pile of quality gems that they have just sitting in their treasury wanting to be spent on nice things like a shiny new tank. Claptrap was so stupid in fact that he was probably going to get killed in this quest in an extremely embarrassing way… And he just rolled his wheel in dog doo.

Next was the sorceress supreme Luna. She was a blue alicorn with an ethereal mane and tail with the night sky in them. She wore a black sorcerers dress with a starry pattern on it and holes on the back for her wings.

Lastly was the rogue Twilight. She was a purple alicorn with pink and darker purple stripes in her mane. She wore a black stealth suit with a small backpack containing her thief tools and daggers along with her essentials.

“Oh this will be fun. Art thou our party members?” Luna asked with a hop in her step as she looked around at everyone.

Handsome Jack looked at Luna in response, though from appearances he had just whacked the Claptrap over the head using a wrench to stop it from flailing around. “I have NO idea if i am on some drug trip or not, though given what goes for ‘magical drugs’ around here. I wouldn’t be surprised if a golden lama with a bong spoke at this point, so nice to see the imaginary ‘rational’ Luna in my dream.” He replied sarcastically, before pinching his nose with a slight mumble of some sort.

Emerl decided to break the trance and asked out loud. “Alright who are you? Why are we here?” Everyone looked at the robot like he was insane. “I know Harmony isn’t behind this since she would have screwed us, right now.”

Suddenly little explosions of confetti went off over Emerl’s head and and a small cake appeared in his hands for somehow being the first one to notice the big disembodied voice narrating the story.

“Sup my name is Emerl and I’m the guardian of the Tree of Harmony so narrator can you tell us why we are here?” Emerl asked as he wants to finish the random quest. Before he could get his answer, Jack gave him a nice deserved fist to the face. Emerl glares at the man.

Jack reprimanding Emerl at the moment by speaking with his eyes turning in every direction. “Shut it, this might be ‘Larry’ the testicle time jumper from the fourth dimension with a voice modulator who kidnapped me to some freaky pocket dimensional ‘farce’ to get back at me for mugging him for his ‘time crystal’. If not it could be those alien scammers and this is all a simulation, if it’s that we need to be nude because they hate looking at nudists..” His eyes narrowed looking at the others before adding at the end of his possible rant. “Or you ‘guys’ are also illusions to play on my sympathies.”

Emerl gave a snarky comment. “Yeah Larry is smart enough for this crud like you’re god damn mind needs for any sanity. Dumbass, we are in a dream.”

"Why is Buu fat?" Buu asked, looking at himself in disdain, "Buu hate being Fat Buu."

Suddenly and for no apparent reason Buu slimmed down and took his second form but was still nerfed so not to be overpowered. Happy now?

Jack looked at the sky, muttering to himself before asking a question. “Have YOU dealt with aliens? Immortal time wielders from the fourth dimension? Alternate Council selves who by the way are COMPLETE ASSHOLES!” Looking likely to get some form or response around himself expecting a form of immediate response of some kind, until nodding towards his fellow adventuring party. “Besides you haven’t faced off against a floating time wielding dimension jumping two armed testicle immortal have you?”

Emerl only stood silent until he rubbed his temple and said. “I thought Harmony sending my mind to fucked up online games were bad. Especially that pewdiepie or cat mario game.”

"How exactly did we get here?" Buu asked, crossing his arms, "I was having a nice dream about cupcakes and now I'm here with you weirdos." When suddenly there was a pink pony in front of him with a huge plate of cupcakes.

What? Pinkie how did you get in there?

“Well my Pinkie Sense told me that there was a cupcake emergency and I just followed my itchy nose.” She said happily.

What? But...Ok fine you gave Buu his cupcakes now can you please get out? You’re not supposed to be here.

“Oky dokey lokey.” She said happily before she jumped into a box and disappeared.

Pegasus looked around, reaching into his pockets he searched for his deck of cards. “To be honest, I’m still questioning if this is a prank that the toons pulled on me or if I just got sucked into the Toon World book again.” He growled, frustrated that he couldn’t find his missing cards, “And what happened to my Toon deck?! And where’s my Duel Disk?!” Pegasus asked for no reason as he should know that his lyre holds his magic and will be how he can summon toons when needed by playing toony music on it.

Emerl reappeared beside Twilight and asked. “So what’s your opinion?” Emerl tried to ignore the pink pony with fear of the pink screen of death. Emerl felt a twitch from his head. ’Hey dunce head tell the team to focus on the story and one more thing’ he was smacked on the forehead. ‘The town is suffering from a bloody crime.’ Emerl knew Harmony found a way in until he felt her getting kicked out of the dream.

"There's a displaced Twilight?" Buu asked, tilting his head to the side, "Also really? Yu-Gi-Oh? That's freaking lame."

Pegasus glared at Buu, “I’ll have you know that Yu-Gi-Oh is one of the best games there is!” He scowled, “Then again I wouldn’t expect a simpleton like you to understand!”

"Who are you calling a simpleton?" Buu asked, crossing his arms, "I may have the form of Majin Buu but I am not an idiot nor am I simple."

“Could’ve fooled me,” Pegasus replied.

"How do you figure?" Buu asked, raising his eyebrow.

He shrugged, “Mostly just the way you spoke in the beginning, you gave me the impression of being an idiot.”

Jack took the moment to throw an apple at each of them. “Will you BOTH shut it! ‘Teamwork’ is a thing and we lack info besides our ‘mysterious host’, so stop stroking yourselves off on WHO is an idiot. Besides you both are for arguing right now.” His flat look towards them in response before adding on yet again. “Not by appearance but by how you act.”

Buu just shrugged, zapping his apple with Chocolate Beam, transmuting it into a jawbreaker, which he popped into his mouth.

You guys are great. I’m hardly needing to narrate this and it’s still entertaining.

"Don't make me use Voice Shout Narrator because I will." Buu warned, looking up at the sky.

“Narrator do not make me squirt you with water and break the dream early.” Emerl stated which earned him an iron pan to the head by the narrator.

First of all how would you be able to squirt me when you don’t know where I am. Also I’m not sleeping. Also I control how reality works here so even if you tried you can’t shout your way out Buu. Now where are we… Ah yes. You all see a pony shaped ventriloquist dummy walk up to your group. He had wooden hair made to look like it was slicked back and had a fine suit. On his flank was a slimy green ‘G’ painted on as a cutie mark.

“Hello fine heroes...ish. I am Slappy the mayor of this city.” The dummy spoke before reaching into his shirt and pulling out a piece of paper and started reading it out loud. “We have called you to our city to help us. For an evil wizard and his minions have stolen our city’s greatest treasure. the…” Slappy said before he focused harder on the paper before looking up at the sky. “Really? The bubble wrap making machine?”

“Really narrator?” Emerl asked in a deadpan tone.

Yes really.

Slapy just gives a sigh before continuing to read aloud. “For without it we lose our only source of revenue for the city and it will fall apart without it. Please save our treasure and us all from the evil of Mr. Nibbles. Stop reading here...oh. Well you get the gist.” Slappy said as he pocketed the paper.

“ Wow I was hoping to face Tirek or something?” The robot asked Slappy.

“Funny you should say that. Actually he used to be called Tirek but when he tried to steal the boss’s magic she overpowered him and took his instead. Then she shrunk him down and we now keep him as a pet in a hamster cage back home.” Slapy answered. “Mr. Nibbles is just what the boss renamed him.”

Emerl only froze for a moment before he laugh like an insane bastard. “Oh my God that is more humiliating than what Harmony can think of. I wonder how he talks? Betting a high pitch chipmunk rip-off or Steve Urkel. ”

Jack simply shook his head sighing as he halfheartedly went along with what the wooden pony stated. “So since we are outsourced help, do we get a temporary residence and see the scene of this ‘tragedy’?” He used air quotes with his wording, though his eyes spoke ‘too old for this shit to be going on.’

“Ah…” Slappy said in confusion before looking to the sky with a questioning look. This was answered with a wagon falling from the sky with large undead wolves to pull it. When Slappy went up and looked inside he gasped. “Wow it’s bigger on the inside! It even has rooms with name tags and a fully stocked kitchen! Why can’t I have one of these?” He complained to the sky.

What would you do with a kitchen? You’re dead.

“I ment the wagon.” He grumbled. “Well does that answer your question?” Slapy asked.

Jack took the time looking at Slappy’s form while they spoke before asking a question. “So are you undead? Like something Grogar would do or is this something else? Another request, can ‘I’ get drunk here? Because this isn’t something to handle sober.” He rubbed his forehead likely a phantom pain would be welling up across his face.

“Please don’t give the boss ideas. Or give her any desire to get drunk herself as she has full control of this world and I don’t want to find out what will happen to it with us inside if she did. And I am a ghost. In life I was a ventriloquist and puppeteer so I’m good at possessing them. The boss has her own private army which is mostly comprises of the undead.” Slappy answered.

Now hold on I’m curious about this myself. Let's experiment. Jack suddenly found a huge keg hanging on the back of the cart with empty cups sitting in a holder.

Jack shrugged before moving to grab a cup, sitting next to the keg to pour some into said cup before tasting it. Giving a nod he fills up the cup only to chug it down with a swig back one would see from a veteran drinker. “This is ‘okay’ though at least I know the gender of our ‘host’ if that’s to be believed by an undead spirit who seems sapient enough or simulated construct in this glitched simulator. So Wuba dub dub!” He finished with an odd phrase refilling his cup waiting for the others to react to his alcoholic revelation.

“I wonder if my boss is watching this?” Emerl commented as a mug appeared beside him.

Oh she is. I’m keeping her from directly interfering herself but she is watching. In fact she's happily munching on some popcorn right now.

“At least she isn’t making crazy request like inserting a giant rabbit monster while we drink.” Emerl sipped as he felt winded. “At least if we die we don’t get tortue by some dick from a creepypasta verse.” Emerl hics while moving sluggishly.

Slappy looked at him in horror. “NO! What did I just say about giving her ideas!” He shouted before running for cover.

Oh don’t worry the bunny thing is over used… The ground shakes with giant steps! Everyone’s attention was drawn to the giant squirrel monster! Who quickly grabbed the keg away from our heroes and got ready to attack! Also I would still take suggestions from her.

“God dammit Harmony and what’s your name! Well tim-*hic*-e for a good *hic* dash” Emerl yelled as he used spin dash only to be eaten by the squirrel beast. Everyone deadpan by the action. But soon the monster roared in pain and started rampaging in the direction of the rest of the party. It suddenly stopped as it fell as everyone keep hearing the word “stinger” over and over as the robot bust out of the squirrel's back and commented. “Thats why you don’t take my goods ya fox meal piece of crap.” He fell down and began to sleep before a mysterious waterfall landed on him.

“Hey! What the hell and what happen to this thing?” Emerl asked unable to recall being drunk.

It ate you and you cut your way out. I just thought it would be nice to wash the digestive juices before it damaged your body. Also I apparently need to throw out stronger monsters next time.

“Well does anyone have this feeling we are being watched by some spy or jackasses?” Emerl asked before almost forgetting. “Thanks madam narrator, I promise not to squirt you with water.”

Jack finished the ‘drink’ he held speaking in a normal tone. “Well as ‘nice’ as fucked up simulations go, why don’t we get this ‘universe’ rolling? That IS a condition of us getting out right?” He looked up at the sky as if expecting to see someone or thing, his hand giving a mock fingered ‘salute’.

Yes completing the quest will get you back home. Also you’re lucky I’m so nice. It would normally end bad provoking someone with control over the reality you’re in.

“Fear not friends for we can do this! And if we find ourselves in trouble can’t we use tokens to call in more help?” Luna asked.

No they can’t. Everyone will find they don’t have any tokens they got from other displaced. Those are back in their home worlds.

“Well I’m grateful, but when are we going to skip to the main event?” Emerl asked “If anyone ask for more people, I don’t think we need that much help if we have a Buu, Twilight, and good old Slappy right.”

“I’m not going!” Slappy shouted from his hiding place.

Pegasus frowned, “And what about me?! You don’t need those fools, when you have the master of Harmony by your side! I’ll summon my toons and blast anything that threatens to attack us!” He boasted proudly before groaning, “I’ve been spending too much time with Kuirboh, I’ve even begun boasting like he does.”

“Harmony loves the little guy doing the lalalalala voice and dude my boss doesn’t follow you.” Emerl commented. “Besides we need to focus moving forward so we can get home. So let’s move and roll out.”

Yes maybe you guys should get on the wagon. Otherwise it could take forever to get to the evil lair of the dreaded Mr. Nibbles.

“Okay can anyone hotwire the thing to shoot weapons? By the way also I have this feeling to get in now or the narrator will shoot meteors at us.” Emerl exclaimed as he got in the wagon.

Don’t be ridiculous. I wouldn’t do that. I would be much more creative.

“Like what a flood of boiling hot cheese with green onions?” Emerl commented. Earning a glare from Slappy.

Hmmmmm...

By this point Jack had saluted the rest of the party before closing the back of the Wagon’s door, with having flashed a trademarked smirk. “Losers are those who follow the sheep, or don’t think for themselves!” He spoke through a window in the wagon before popping his head back inside likely doing something.

Suddenly the air outside the wagon was filled with a horrible stench as the sound of screams about a horrible monster and the sound of some kind of slime quickly moving across the ground filled the air. Soon everyone heard the sound of sinister sounding classical music.

“I, am, the great mighty poo! And I’m going to throw my shit at you!”

Pegasus groaned, “Oh God no, out of all the villains from Conker why did you have to use him…” Taking out his lyre, he pulled a couple of the strings. “Narrator! How can I summon a toon monster?”

The same way any bard summons something. With your art. Just play a toon like melady. Don't worry if you don't know how to play just think of the toon and the Lyre will guide your fingers for you.

Plucking on the strings, he played the familiar sinister melody. “Toon Cannon Soldier, I summon you!” The lyre began to leak out a pink mist, summoning the robotic toon. Pegasus looked up to the sky, “Quick question, how many toons can I summon?”

Up to five but only one summon per turn so the great mighty Poo would need to attack you before you can summon again unless it's a special summon. Just like the game.

“Can I copy Pegasus’s ability to summon and perform a summon?” Emerl asked with hope

Same powers as in sonic X. Sorry thats the only place I know your character from.

“Crap we either end the turn or sacrifice one of us. I nominate Slappy or a mug.” Emerl declared getting a slap from Slappy

I honestly didn’t think you guys would stay and fight him. He was supposed to be motivation to get going on the quest. Oh well he's getting ready to attack.

Great mighty Poo uses raining stink bomb on Claptrap doing 1000 points of damage.

“Claptrap NO! Well he’s dead and I’m retreating” Emerl jumped into the Wagon with the speed of sound.

Pegasus ran back into the wagon, careful to not step on anything unpleasant. “You could have told us we didn’t have to fight him!” He growled, the Cannon Soldier pushing Pegasus out of the way and stepping into the wagon first before his master.

“Dude that’s cold, he’s your summoner.” Emerl commented before the cannon soldier responds. “Fuck tradition have you smelled that stench!?”

“Is everyone in so we can leave before getting K.O. by literally a giant piece of crud?” Emerl asked as he told the driver to hit it.

Welcome to the tour. On your left you will see the coliseum were brave gladiators and monsters fight once a week for the entertainment of the masses. On your right you can see the city hall with the bubble monument. A fifteen foot statue of Atlas made entirely out of bubble wrap holding up the weight of a giant bubble. And if you will look out the back window you will see a literal tidal wave of waste moving in this direction thankfully slower than the wagen. You will also see in the wave the members of your party left behind. Claptrap waved his arms in a panic as he desperately called for help.

“Oh wow if this wasn’t a dream I would feel bad. Ok so the evil lair is located where?” Emerl commented before a bin with a note attached to it smacked him in the face. ‘Oi respect your comrades and rescue him. from Harmony’ “So anyone got an idea on how to rescue the small robot?” Emerl asked the party

Pegasus played his lyre again, the sinister melody, “I’ll sacrifice my Cannon Soldier to summon my Parrot Dragon!”

The toon soldier gave Pegasus a depressed look, turning towards the others he pulled out a handkerchief and waved goodbye, wiping his tears away. With a bright light the Toon was instantly replaced by a large parrot with dragon like qualities.

“Parrot Dragon, catch that Claptrap and bring him here!” He commanded, the Parrot gave a mock salute and flew towards the machine.

“I’m surprised the Parrot is tolere- wait how did it get a freakin gas mask?” Emerl commented as the Harmonic Master provided an answer.

Pegasus shrugged his shoulders, “Although Toon isn’t in his name, Parrot Dragon is still technically a toon and like most toons he can easily bend reality to his will.” After finishing his short explanation, the dragon like bird crashed into the wagon’s window and dropped the Claptrap onto the ground, chuckling behind his mask. The wagon fills with a stink from the filthy Claptrap.

There is a shower down the hall to the left if you’re waterproof.

“Um narrator not to sound like a brat, but are we there yet?” Emerl asked

“Indeed aunty please hurry this up.” Luna said with a disgusted look on her face.

Oh, alright. The wagon stops in front of a cave entrance with a giant stone statue of a pony sitting in front of it.

Luna quickly jumps out and takes in the sweet air.

“Finally some sweet air!” Emerl exclaimed as he noticed the statue and asked. “Are we really doing an Indy? If we find something is it a permanent keep?” Emerl asked wondering if this is similar to rpg.

The statue then looked down with an emotionless face. “And I was having such a nice dream. You’re not rocks.” She said.

Maud don’t ruin the surprise! Oh well it's too late now. You’re the guardian to the entrance. You’re supposed to stop them from getting through.

“Hey maud, I think I saw a giant Pinkie statue in the mountains when getting here.” Emerl said earning a flick from the stone mare as he got out from a random tree. “Ok, I deserve that one.”

Jack took his time strolling out with his fingers in his ears, listening to Claptrap’s auditable if horrid ‘retelling’ of how it got into it’s ‘everything’. “I wished you hadn’t made it like the sequel, because it’s tone is grating to my senses, which also doesn’t help that there is a ‘Luna’ here in this Simulation as well.” He glanced at said pony critically before rubbing his face with a sigh until he saw what everyone else was looking at. “Don’t tell me, is Celestia one of the ‘bosses’? No, wait. Let me guess a ‘kidnapped princess trapped with the evil whoever’.”

Pegasus smiled at the thought of fighting Celestia, “Oh I don’t know Jack, I honestly wouldn’t mind having a swing at her.”

“I thought fluttershy would be part of this honestly and Pegasus that is technically a giant soldier of stone so any toon monster should be able handle that. ” Emerl said as he returned back to the party as Pegasus stared at the robot. “What I played Yu-Gi-Oh sometimes.” Jack looked at the gizoid with shame.

Pegasus smiled, playing the lyre, he summoned up another toon. “Toon Goblin Attack Force, come on out!”

A cloud of pink mist appeared near Pegasus and the Parrot Dragon, when the mist disappeared a group of five short, chubby goblins appeared and charged at the stone pony.

“Wait don’t destroy the head I feel like taking a damn photo with it!” Emerl yelled as Pegasus ignore the request and they continued to strike.

Jack tuned up the Claptrap before moving behind it with a heavy repeating crossbow equipped, looking over the ‘stone guardian’ their host threw out. “If any of you could use water that will likely be Effective against it’s natural armor! Because rocks crumble to weather and time.”

“Wait like pokemon and science?” Emerl asked

The giant Maud grunted and allowed herself to fall forward onto the toons. When she got up the flattened toons started peeling themselves off the floor.

“Hmmm.” Maud hummed in thought before looking at Pegasus. “Maybe if I smash the summoner instead?” She asked herself in that same dull monotone as she stood up and charged at Pegasus.

Plucking at the strings, he sacrificed his Goblin army, “Toon Summoned Skull, protect your master!” The army of goblins gave a short cry and disappeared, only to be replaced by a blue skull like demon.

The demon cackled madly, putting his thumb in his mouth, he started to inflate himself and eventually grew into a giant. Charging at Maud, he cackled as his claws sparked with electricity.

Jack took the time to fire a couple shots with his heavy repeating crossbow at ‘Stone Guardian’ Maud, with Claptrap being utterly ‘useful’ at the moment giving him a cover bonus and randomly throwing out rock insults. “I truly hope out of anyone present you could do better Luna, because none of us can summon water or weaken it naturally.”

Emerl smirk seeing the plan decided to say. “Hey Luna show this rock a bad rainy day won’t ya.”

Luna smirked and noded as she flew up and started collecting all of the clouds in the area with her magic. Meanwhile Maud and Toon Summon Skull were pushing against each other with neither getting anywhere. Maud’s rock hard body inefficient against the inflated toon’s elasticity and the toon’s electricity useless against her stone body. Frowning a little Maud jumped back causing the toon to fall forward and she tried to run around it to get to it’s summoner.

Emerl using sonic’s speed quickly grabbed pegasus the moment the giant maud guardian got close. “That was a close one so have any tricks of yours mister Rabbit?” Emerl commented as he notice a shine on the ground and stop.

Curious, Pegasus picked up the shining object and examined it, “A trap card!” He looked up at the sky again, “Narrator, how do I use my spells and traps?”

Jack’s attacks attempted to focus on Maud’s neck, to work on making a crack in her form at a possible vital point from his own likely guessing. While as a minor action slapping Claptrap to act in it’s own attack. At least to make him productive in some way besides yelling.

Spells you can throw at the target like a ninja star traps you set face down on the ground like a land mine and make sure it's between you and the attacker.

“Wait why not save the card? I think Luna has this covered.” Emerl commented as the Night princess was ready to let it go as she waited for a signal. Then with a flash the sound of thunder clapping water started pouring from the sky. Maud looked up for a moment before looking around and apparently deciding to focus on an easier target she started charging at the one party member that has remained stationary, Jack.

Twilight chose this moment to reveal her master plan. She blasted at some dirt as the Maud golem ran at Jack. The magical sinkhole tripping the giant golem. When Maud hit the ground several cracks spider webbed across her body and the leg that fell in snapped off. With a grunt Maut lifted herself up off the ground and focused on Twilight and bent down before jumping at her with the intent to crush her but missed as Twilight teleported away at the last moment.

Jack ordered his Claptrap to engage Maud with ‘whatever’ attacks he held, taking the time to try and hit Golem Maud’s back legs to see if one or both could shatter to immobilize this ‘guardian’. “Everything so far is showing me just how ‘nerdy’ we all are except that this is a simulation, but i’m curious ‘disembodied voice’. How ‘long’ would this little trek of ours would take for incompetent players?”

Depends on how bad the players are. Its not a long dungeon.

One of the bolts hit a crack in the left back leg causing a piece to fall off which annoyed the giant. While she was turning around Claptrap was following his orders and moving up on Maud and using greece to slick the ground but Maud saw this and stepped back to avoid it.

“Thats not why I stepped back. Do you see what he’s covered in? I don’t want to touch that.” Maud said in her normal monotone as she stepped further away from Claptrap. Seeing this Twilight smirked, reaching out with her magic she picked up the poop covered machine and began waving it in front of Maud.

“Just let us in or I’ll use him as a paint brush on you.”

Maud looked down with her stone eyes before shrugging. “Fine. But you could have just said please.” Maud said before looking to the sky. “Can I go back to dreaming about rocks again?”

Ya sure go ahead.

She gave a nod as she walked away, the rocks that were once a part of her rolled to her before reattaching and all of the cracks mended shut until she was fully restored and she went to lay down in a giant rock pile.

“Wait!” Emerl exclaim as he got a camera out of nowhere took a picture with her before she could lay down as he said. “This will be a keeper. Oh, go ahead.” He turned to the others and said. “I know I didn’t do much so I used sonic’s speed to snatch us some foods. “ He pulled out plenty of food as well some shiny objects. “Pegasus I found a trap and two magic cards.”

Jack just stared at Twilight then at Emerl with a look before saying this carefully. “Twilight, I will simply say that in half the cases I deal with ‘you’. You can be freakishly smart for your own good, or just lucky that a solution falls into your lap. Emerl you likely won’t be able to keep anything you take here if this is a simulation, because nothing is real like the simulations those scammers run.”

“Sometimes being an opportunist is the best solution for dealing with a problem. Being able to adapt keeps one alive on the battle field. A trick Shepard taught me.” Twilight responded looking over the food Emerl brought, “Oh apples, yummy.”

“So narrator will fluttershy be involved and can I scout ahead?” Emerl asked

Your welcome to scout ahead if you like but no I had no plans to add Fluttershy to this. I don’t want to expose her to any violence if I can help it.

“Sweet and you are a hero ma’am.” Emerl stated as he used sonic speed to examine the cave. In the following 5 minutes it was total silence until random explosions were heard and some screams as everyone get prepared while the song never split the party started playing.

Jack simply face palmed, while standing with Luna and Twilight before looking at Pegasus. “He’s pulled every trap or mob at the same time, hasn’t he?” He left the question up in the air while a look crossed Twilight’s face in focus. She levitated the daggers in her magic eyeing the dungeon.

“Hey are you guys trying?” Emerl voiced out

“Why you son of a bitch” grunt one said before burning to death as he let out a scream.

“Come on step it up.”

“Wait Bob Cobbler maybe we should stay together.” grunt 2 advised

“Fuck that! Never let that damned thief out of sight!" random grunt screamed as Emerl stopped.

“Alright guys I feel sorry, but one of my friends wants to say something to you.”

“What, ya dirty little shitstain.”

“Leroy Jenkins!” an enormous explosion shook the cave as Emerl came out with a hoard of treasure. “Sup I’ve found some buried treasure.”

… Wait how did you do that? I thought you couldn't keep track of so many enemies at once even if they were basic thugs?

“Well it was like this I used sonic speed to avoid the traps I trip before meeting the bandits while using Rouge’s sonar to keep track of enemies in the dark so all I did is lure the idiots to their own traps. Remember ma’am I adapt to situations plus I hack myself to use more of sonic, knuckles, and rouges abilities. Besides you should have seen their faces when I used knuckles earth punch to trigger a lava trap though one of them almost got me.” Emerl eye widen as he said. “Crud I forgot to save the princess during the craziness.” Everyone looked at the robot with deadpan as they wonder ‘who forgets the main reason they're there.’

“We thought we were saving that magic machine of the wrapped bubbles?” Luna asked with confusion as she looked around.

“Yeah one of the goons was chatting about sacrificing a princess to activate it even though they could have used the on switch.” Emerl said. “I question goon intelligence.”

“Those fiends! Off to save our sister!” Luna bellowed as she charged into the cave.

“Luna what did we just say about splitting parties!?” Twilight called chasing after the alicorn.

I feel I should remind everyone that though he used the traps well Emerl never disabled any of them.

“Ahh! Crushing walls!” Luna shouted in surprise.

“Damnit Luna!” Twilight grabbed Luna in her magic pulling her away from the trap. “Hey Game Master, this is like Ogres and Oubliettes right? If I’m a rogue roll for me checking the traps!” The chamber echoed with the sound of rolling dice.

Nice you got a natural 20. Though seeing as they’re all active in the first part can’t you just use your eyes?

Twilight’s senses tell her that the walls smashing against each other, lava pit, gas trap, and swinging bladed Pendulum are indeed traps and not illusions that just look like traps.

“Yes they are there I meant for disarm, else I’m going to just start blasting them.” Twilight began tugging at the mechanisms with her magic. Searching for key pieces to disarm them as best she could.

Well then you should have said disable instead of check. Oh well I’ll let you keep the 20 for this.

“Well I apologize for the trouble, but I went off exploring again while you were dealing with the traps.” Emerl said as everyone groaned by Emerl’s declaration. Especially at seeing that he was sliding along the floor on one leg frozen in ice that covered half his body. “Anyway I think I found a mid-boss while Mr. Nibbles was walking past it.” He punched the ice off with knuckle’s skill as he asked. “So any one here a pyromaniac or we have to do this the hard way?”

“Well with Claptrap covered in poop that is pretty flammable, we might be able to use him as a sort of torch?” Twilight offered.

Jack simply looked at the claptrap who looked up to him with a hopeful expression. “If it breaks, I could just fix it up again. So let loose the fire and hold your nose, because burning crap is almost as bad as wet crap.” Jack spoke as he readied himself to follow after them.

Pegasus thought for a bit, trying to remember a Toon that used fire, “Ah of course!” Playing the toon melody, a pink mist gathered around him. “Manga Ryu Ran, come on out!” The mist started to form into the shape of a dragon, when the mist disappeared a tall orange dragon wearing an egg shell stood, chuckling to himself.

“Manga Ryu Ran set the Claptrap on fire!” Pegasus commanded. Taking a deep breath the dragon shot twin flames out of his snout at the machine. The Claptrap instantly burst into flames, causing the mischievous dragon to chuckle as Claptrap started screaming bloody murder and some profanities too as he rolled down the tunnel as fast as he could.

Emerl began chasing the robot as he saw the mini-boss’s field begin to melt. Then he saw the mid-boss trying to destroy the robot with its freez ray but it took a while to hit Claptrap putting out the flames and freezing him to the floor.

“I do not like warmth.” A mechanical sounding monotone, male voice called out as heavy footsteps echoed from the other side. Now everyone can see that the room was completely covered in ice. Even the floor appeared to be a giant block of ice that used to be a pool. Around the room were frozen warriors that looked like they were flash frozen while charging in the mid boss’s direction.

“My mistress put me in her game. She told me to stop you as best I can. So I will...as my name sake would say. Stop you cold.” As the voice's owner stepped into the light everyone could see that he was seven feet tall with a stainless steel covered body. One arm had a mechanical hand with claw like fingers while the other ended in the barrel of a large gun. Over his head was a frosted over crystal dome but they could see a humanoid head shape inside with round glowing red eyes. As he moved ice formed on his armor and broke off with his movements from the intense cold. On several parts of his armor there were diamonds shaped like icicles. As he raised his arm with the cryo gun ice seemed to form over his head into the words. ‘Mr. Freeze’ and a frosty blue health bar appears over his head as the name broke away. He then aimed his arm and fired at the group.

From years of experience, in the fields of science and weird tech. Jack knew to dodge early behind cover from weapons of dubious effect, or risk injury while trying to shoot back at the imitation. “And here I thought some of my Claptraps were incompetent!” Giving out a taunt to see if it’ll buy anyone else who dodged an opening.

“Hey Lulu can you do a beam surprise on this guys while Jack and I distract him.” Emerl asked in a serious tone as he noticed the sad look in the man’s eyes. Emerl used Rouge's flight to dodge as he drill kick the cyborg who bounce it off and attempted to freeze the gizoid. Luckily the Sonic from that series knows how to run on ice as he dodged each attack.

Stopping his attack a moment Mr. Freeze started lightly spraying the ground all over making the ground too uneven for super speed. He then turned to the toon dragon and managed to hit it and encasing it in ice.

“I don’t like warmth… and mistress taught me how to use the ice better.” He said with his monotone before getting hit in the chest with a dark blue magic beam causing him to slide back before stopping himself on one of the jagged spikes of ice sticking out of the ground but Luna teleported behind him and started wailing on him. Soon the icicle shaped diamonds around his armor started charging up before an area around him was suddenly in a dome of freezing magic freezing everything inside except for him. Luna’s eyes looking around while the rest of her was frozen solid. Her horn started to glow but it might take her a little time to melt free.

Twilight kept dodging around the field, looking for an opening to cut the feed on his gun. Emerl decided to spin dash at the cyborg as he was about to shatter Luna completely before charging in with knuckles fist skills to make a neat crack on the head dome which Mr. Freeze quickly reacted to by using his freeze ray and shot Emerl’s right arm. “ You are a machine, you have no need for warmth.” The cyborg said as he shot Emerl’s left leg. Emerl gave a salute finger before being completely frozen as Luna managed to free herself with a shout but gasped and moved in before Freeze could bring his fist down on her frozen teammate and she moved him over next to the toon and put up a barrier to protect them as she started thawing the two out.

“Aunty what's going on? We don’t recognize him as one of yours. Is that the nightmare possessing another of those machines again?” Luna demanded as she worked to defrost her frozen allies.

Close but no. After the nightmare took over that body and used her powers in combination with the mechanical vessel to make herself so much stronger I thought what if I made a custom model for a different incorporeal working for me?

Luna thought about it for a moment before sighing. “The windigo thou recruited is inside that thing isn’t it?” She asked with annoyance.

“I do not like warmth.” Mr. freeze said as he froze and bashed Luna’s shield again and again to break through. Twilight teleported next to her fellow princess reinforcing the shield.

Emerl’s body suddenly darkened as the ice began to break from the sheer negative energy from within. The ice instantly cracked opened as Mr. Freeze noticed a dark atmosphere. When Emerl’s prison broke Mr. Freeze was about to repeat his action and freeze the robot only to find that he disappeared from sight. He looked everywhere to find him but was struck from behind as the dark Gizoid quickly tore the cyborg apart which resulted with Mr. Freeze's dome being smashed open and having both his arms served. Emerl was ready for the kill until divine intervention prevented the tale from going grimdark.

Oh no fair riling him up Harmony. The strain of using dark form weakened the body so he won’t be able to do it again until he returns home. There that should stop that from happening again.

During that time Jack had been thawing out his claptrap, taking the time to make sure no one was really paying attention to him. While keeping said claptrap quiet long enough to help him look for a way deeper while skirting around the battle.

Twilight walked over to the damaged cyborg as a frosty white ghostly pony rose up out of it and flew away before the parts all sank beneath the ice. Where it once was now sat a chest with the word ‘Loot’ written on its lid.

“Darn, I was going to offer it friendship, o’well loot is good too. As always check for traps.” Twilight muttered to herself as she began inspecting the chest for any triggers.

“So what did we get out of this mess?” Emerl asked as he woke up from the divine intervention.

“Well I don’t see any traps, so lets find out.” Twilight used her magic to lift the lid of the chest. And saw two cards inside one magic (Comic hand) and one trap (Mirror force), A boss room key, a shield with a picture of a human head with snakes for hair, and a rocket launcher with two extra ammo for it on a pile of gold coins.

And because of cheating the robot can’t have anything in there and loses the loot he got from all those thugs in the first part.

“Meh, I don’t need it.” Emerl stated as he didn’t care about taking money with him since he is rich at home. ‘I sorta told her about your dimensional copy abilities, so you won’t be getting Rin’s skills this time. Sincerely Harmony. ‘ Now that hurt Emerl as he wanted to add Rin's power to his collection. He folded his arms and grumbled *snitch.*

“So I assume Jack wants the rocket launcher, shall we give the shield to Claptrap and have him tank?” Twilight suggested lifting the objects out of the chest passing them around, pocketing the boss room key, and a small extra hoof of gold coins.

“I’m going to go scout ahead.” Emerl stated as he tried to walk to the next level. As he walked alone up the stairs and down a dark corridor he came to a large, round room that was pitch black. Then a lantern hanging in the middle of the room lit itself all on its own filling the room with light. On the lantern were humanoid shapes that projected shadows on the wall. The shadows then took on lives of their own and started moving around the room at the speed of shadows. Attacking him from all sides.

“Shit I’m getting a witch’s house vibe. I wonder, if they are shadows then either light is a weakness or they depend on it.” Emerl tried to go after the lantern, yet the shadows were inflicting more damage than he can take especially since his body is still weak from the dark transformation. The robot began to take his sword out as he focuses regardless of the pain being inflicted on him. It took only 5 minutes until his eyes glowed white as he tossed the blade directly at the lantern. Thus killing the shadows, yet Emerl knew his body was screwed. At least he helped his team before his death as the song never split the party starts playing again in his mind. “Fuck you Rin.” His vision turned black.

Twilight rounded the corner seeing Emerl lying broken on the floor, panicking she rushed over to him just in time for his body to vanish. Scanning with magic Twilight examined the area around it to find no trace of him.

Jack had followed after Twilight to see what her bout of panic was for, only to arrive in the room with her crouched over nothing with a broken lantern hanging overhead while his Claptrap shrugged. Wheeling over to her as he measuredly walked observing the lantern to speak his mind. “So let me guess, the construct Emerl was here? Or did he get derezzed by whatever boss or trap that was here? Because that’s likely due to our ‘host’ nerfing him and going with a movie trope of ‘going alone’ into the dungeon before we could catch up.” Looking likely for any obvious signs of the robotic hedgehog.

I’ll have you know I changed nothing in this room. It was always going to have the challenge he faced. He just wasn’t suppose to face it alone. That's what happens when you zerg in this kind of game. Perhaps he will learn from this and think things through in future events.

"I can zerg anything yo," Buu said, walking in, "I kinda lost what was going on, I was talking to Screwball." He admitted, popping a cupcake into his mouth.

Jack looked at Buu with a slight frown. “So, ‘I can zerg anything yo’. Seeing how our abilities are either nerfed and/or altered to that of a ‘DnD’ game, how would YOU go about not being able to do as you normally did?” He had taken this time to whack Claptrap yet again over the head to keep him from pawing at his outfit for the rocket launcher using his wrench.

Buu gave him a flat look, "I'm pretty sure I didn't get nerfed that badly."

You haven’t tested yourself yet. You didn’t partake in any of the fights so how can you guess? If you must know I put you at the level of Krillin at the end of Dragon Ball. Not Z, the first one.

"Narrator, I'm going to absorb you when I get out of this," Buu said, his eye twitching in anger.

Oh don’t be that way. It’s all in good fun and it’s not like I striped you of all your power forever. What fun is a game if you’re so OP that you can get through with as much effort as it takes to blink?

Jack just nodded softly before giving out his reply. “Well guessing how upset you are, I'd say you weren’t among us ‘mortals’ but ‘above’ in how things are. Though you should remember to take some pride in where you started and not abuse what your foundation was. The first couple years were rough for me and I had to recall what ‘stupid’ camping book guides the foster system taught us. Though learning how to skin and cook had it’s own issues..” He shivered at remembering that. “Never skin a chaos beast, the insides are disturbing for how it could actually ‘function’.”

"The hell are you even talking about?" Buu asked, looking at him a bit confused.

Jack smiled at Buu speaking conversationally. “My first few years as a ‘Displaced’ as I learned MUCH later by some Undead Lich type I met, but anyways the monsters Discord brought about by his mere presence seeping into the ground or his ilk are disturbing how little sense they made on a biological function. Like a Cymera being some cat, goat and snake combination, did you know they each have a stomach that lined up wrapped around each other before joining at the intestinal tract?” His eyes took on a far away look of horror before continuing. “Also how chaos is literally woven into every inch of the types born? Because that force alone is what keeps them from falling apart into a macabre of exploding/dissolving parts.”

"That's only in your world," Buu said, shrugging his shoulders, "My Discord hates me, he can't hurt me but I can beat his ass in seconds."

My Discord kept trying to get me to join him. For some reason he keeps thinking we’re kindred spirits. I can’t figure out why he would think that though.

“Might have something to do with you being a unique being and bringer of chaos, albeit a bit more tasteful than most of his… Actually is he reformed in this world?” Twilight asked.

Not yet I’m shortly after Luna’s first Nightmare night. And I’ll have you know I can be very orderly! I was the advisor on all things dark magic for Celly and Lulu’s parents and had a large paw in raising them in my world. Want to see their baby pictures?

“NAY! NOT THE BABY PICTURES!” Luna bellowed in a panic as she charged into the room waving her forehooves. “Aunty please we beg thee not to do it!"

“I love baby pictures maybe I can come over sometime?” Twilight asked smirking as she looked at Luna.

I don’t see why not. I have your token. And you can try befriending Mr. Freeze like you were going to earlier.

“That's great I could use a windigo ally against the reapers.” Twilight stated with a big smile, ”I’ll also make sure I have enough room on my omni-hoof to save those pictures, I know a few displaced who would love to see them.” Twilight said as Luna slumped over with watery eyes and a look on her face one would expect on a kid waiting for the doctor to give them a shot.

“Oh come on Princess Luna, we are just having some fun.” Twilight placed an arm around the blue mare.

“We would like to see how fun thou would think it is if it were thy baby pictures threatening to be spread throughout the multiverse. This is worse than the time our aunt grew into a giant with that book and showed them off to all of Canterlot during a celebration.” Luna said sadly.

I still think threatening all of them with charges of high treason if they didn’t stop looking at them was uncalled for.

“Well my baby pictures are lost to the void, so that can’t happen, any other pictures wouldn’t be me. Although I see what you mean, I’ll be nice.” Twilight promised after tapping her chin in thought. “So shall we continue?”

“Indeed.” Luna said before she called out to the rest of the party. The toon dragon shivering with an ice pack on his head and a burning thermometer in his mouth before disappearing now that the fight was over. As they walked to the next room Twilight’s ears started ringing.

“Careful, something is wrong.” Twilight stated as she examined the room. The sound of rolling dice filled the air.

Ouch, you rolled a 3.

“You’re not supposed to tell me that… Now I don’t want to move.” Twilight whined staying close to the door.

Well nothing was activated yet you could try looking again. And sorry its been over a millennia since I last Dungeon Mastered.

“Quick claptrap, buddy, run though the room, I’ll cover you.” Twilight ordered as she eyed the room.

Claptrap groaned and held up his shield before charging forward while screaming which turned slightly panicked then muffled when the floor spun upside down and the sound of a distant splash was heard below as well as screaming.

Well he needed a bath anyways and that boiling stuff should wash that crap off. Though now the toons might want to avoid him. What’s down there can actually kill them. I trust the humans are familiar with the movie who framed Roger Rabbit? The dip is not exactly healthy for them.

“No idea,” Twilight mentioned.

“Dip?” Pegasus questioned. “Is that the green stuff that killed those cartoon weasels in the movie?”

Actually they laughed themselves to death. This is the stuff that killed that poor toon shoe and the evil toon Judge Doom at the end. Melts them like soft butter in boiling water.

Pegasus sighed, “Well, so much for having an army of indestructible beings.” He looked up to the sky. “So is there a way for my Toons to not get destroyed by this ‘dip’?”

Yes...They can avoid touching it. Though failing that rubber suits like the stuff dishwashing gloves are made from are good so long as the suits themselves aren't toon items and as long as it’s airtight. But why would you think you had an invincible army? Any displaced resourceful enough can get this stuff from void merchants. And even toon weapons like guns which I think would count towards that toons kill toons rule. Didn’t you know?

Pegasus sighed, “Toons can only be destroyed by other toons, Chaos magic, or by destroying Toon World, and back at my Equestria the only one who could destroy my toons is Discord, and for so long I’ve been used to the idea of my toons being virtually indestructible. Even displace either have a hard time trying to destroy them or just can’t. So I’m still under the belief that they are unbeatable, besides what are the chances of a displaced having an item to kill a toon with them?”

Admittedly pretty slim unless they already knew they were going to fight some and made preparations. I don’t know much about toon physiology. I tried to study your token Pegasus to try and figure out how to make my own toons but the book reacts rather... negatively to that. Anyways back to the problem at paw. Claptrap its trapped in a trap that can kill toons. What are you guys going to do?

He chuckled, imagining the things that Toon World did to her. “Yes the Toon world book does have a mind of it’s own, and the only way you can create your own Toons is if you have a copy of Toon World or Toon Kingdom with you.” Pegasus thought for a moment. “Am I able to summon non toon monsters?”

Jack rubs his forehead hearing about Claptrap though the topic of ‘toons’ and how to deal with him just made him add it to ‘the list’. “Yes, as for claptrap. Being his maker he wouldn’t just ‘miraculously’ appear next to me depending on the distance or would I have to use some rope from the adventurer’s kit to have him climb up it?” He took this time to actually check if he did have a rope in his bag to use. And found a sturdy wire on a small but strong grappling hook in his belt

If you had them in your deck and had the conditions to summon them like sacrifices. And no he won’t reappear its leave him to rot or take the time to save him

“Excellent.” Pegasus smirked, “I always make sure to have some back up monsters in case Toon World was destroyed.” Plucking at the strings a black mist began to appear instead of the normal pink one. “Now, I summon Newdoria!” A demonic creature started to climb out of the mist, his body was covered in spikes.

Jack gave a deadpan look before mumbling about ‘stupid magic users and their magic’, as he pulled the now surprisingly clean sparkling Claptrap from the Dip trap pit. “I’m surprised anything from Equestria wouldn’t be eaten away by this ‘Dip’ substance, what with being told we are in a television show. Though likely this wouldn’t have been considered ‘state sponsored’ or ‘approved’ viewing.” Muttering again darkly now while the claptrap was soon ordered to look for more traps, with a rope tied on for now to keep it from falling into everything fully. One fire trap two electric traps five spring loaded traps that launched him into some more traps later claptrap was on the other side waiting for the others.

Pegasus chuckled at the bot’s misfortune, walking towards the other side, he made sure to stay behind his Newdoria in case any more traps sprung. “Well it seems this ‘Dip’ isn’t too much of a problem as I originally thought.” Pulling some strings, he sent the remaining toons back into the lyre.

Luna gasped. “Nay friend Pegasus. Don’t thou know to never say something is easy when the DM can hear thee?!” She said as she looked around with worry.

Pegasus stiffened, realizing his mistake. “Oops, well let’s just hope she didn’t hear me!” He laughed nervously.

When they got to the end of the hall and Twilight made sure there were no traps on it Luna peaked inside before closing the door. “She heard thee.” She said flatly.

Jack looked over at Pegasus with deep loathing. “You had to speak up when most of your team lacks the ability to fly didn’t you? Because I just HOPE to see you fall first for summoning causality’s WRATH!” He pointed in a similar fashion the evil closet monkey from Family Guy would, before attempting to sprint across the room still connected to Claptrap in case either triggered a trap.

With a deep sigh Luna opened the door and everyone saw that the room had no floor and the pit no bottom. On the room’s ceiling were metal spikes with large surges of electricity shooting across them and there were sprinklers shooting dip all over the place with flying buzzsaw blades flying around the room at a ludicrous speed and over the door was a countdown timer that just dipped below three minutes.

“Aunty we get thy point. Now can we please get a normal room?” Luna begged up to the sky.

Pegasus paled at the condition of the room. “Isn’t this a bit much? I promise never to say somethings easy again.”

Jack just looked at the room, with his hand moving up within his view before slapping it onto his face with a slow downward drag. “Luna, most of us are screwed if we cannot get to the other side unlike you and Twilight…” He said looking at the purple alicorn at the end there, his eyes only to glare at Pegasus with a hand gesture to the next room as if quietly saying. ‘This is your fault!’

Luna gulped before building up as much power as she could into a barrier around herself before charging at the door screaming like a warrior charging into battle and prepped her wings for flight and jumped through...and disappeared into thin air.

“...Twas an illusion! Aunty that wasn’t funny!” Luna’s voice rose up from the door that still appeared to be the insane deathtrap.

Yes it was.

Pegasus sighed in relief, “Thank you, I don’t think I could’ve made it there with my spells and trap cards.”

Jack’s face deadpanned before moving through the doorway, dragging a still panicking Claptrap behind himself who seemed to have been praying to some ‘all factory’ mother. “It’s like one major fun-house, I swear. Or the search for the Holy Grail…” Jack’s voice spoke out through the doorway, following after Luna.

When everyone was through they were in a large room that was empty except for a door guarded by a blue lioness with wings and the head of a unicorn with silver hair that even while sitting was five times Luna’s height.

“Behold!” She shouted as she rose up her forepaws dramatically, summoning fireworks around herself. “To get through this door you must answer three great and powerful riddles!” The party could almost hear crickets chirping. At the deadpan expressions everyone was giving her. Her eye twitched in annoyance but she kept up the act. “First! Trixie can be softer than a pillow, yet hard like a rock. She can hold many lives, yet she takes lives away. Trixie can feel nothing yet can show true rage. What is Trixie?”

Jack sighed looking at the others before talking to them, ignoring Trixie’s presence. “So, any of you lot good at riddles?” While smacking Claptrap on the head with a wrench once more to keep it from coming up with random answers.

“Are you ignoring Trixie?” She asked in annoyance. “You know that if you get a wrong answer Trixie is under orders to eat you.”

Twilight sat down and hummed to herself in deep thaught. “Up until you said getting eaten was the penalty for a wrong answer I was going to say that you’re Trixie.” she said as she continued to think while everyone heard the sound of the narrator laughing, much to Trixie’s annoyance. “Are you the ocean?” Twilight asked which Trixie just sighed in disappointment to. “I’m right aren't I? In the north and south it’s frozen hard but is soft when melted. It holds aquatic life but others drown in it. And it can’t feel because it’s not alive but those sea storms look like rage to me.”

“Yes, yes, you got lucky.” Trixie said down to twilight. “Now lets see… What can fly? what can die? has no wings and never lies. You can look at it though it can’t be seen. To have lots of it will make most green. It doesn't exist and yet it’s real. Your fate it may one day seal?

Twilight got back into her thinking face while a dunce hat with the words ‘Thinking cap’ appeared on her head which she swatted off with her hoof. “Is the answer… time?” Twilight asked which made Trixie’s face scrunch up while she started jumping up and down on her paws, giving off an aggravated and held in scream which caused her cheeks to puff up. like a foal throwing a small temper tantrum but trying to restrain themselves so not to get a time out.

Isn’t she adorable when she gets angry?

Jack appraised the sight before adding onto the narrator’s response. “I’d say a six at best, if she was anthro or human. That could be bumped up in my opinion.” For the first time actually critically looking her over, before giving a slight shrug adding on the end. “Though she likely couldn’t hold a candle to Twilight’s figure if magic adds onto the size and ‘development’ one has.”

Trixie looked down at Jack with hostility but kept glancing up as if she could see if the narrator was watching. She then gave a defeated sigh. “You’re lucky Trixie can’t hurt you unless you give a wrong answer...But Trixie can do this!” She shouted as she quickly grabbed Jack and threw him into a giant trashcan no one noticed on the other side of the room. “Well now if Trixie could just eat Twilight this will be a good day.” Trixie sighed as a book appeared in front of her and she began to read while keeping it away so the party can't see what. On the cover was a picture of a maze in the shape of a fox’s head and the title ‘Rin’s Big Book of Riddles.’

Suddenly a small scroll appeared out of nowhere and hit Trixie on the muzzle. With a confused look she picked it up and read it to herself. “Who is harmony! Show yourself so Trixie can make you eat this scroll!” She shouted as her face turned red with embarrassment.

Harmony your guy was killed by shadows. You shouldn't be messing with the others...Also I wanted to poke fun at her choice of words! Now it’s ruined.

Trixie just snorted up at the narrator’s words before looking down at Twilight. “You only have thirty seconds to answer this one. Otherwise this is the end of the quest for you. What was Trixie’s last meal?” She said with a predatory grin that showed off her sharp, cat like teeth.

Trixie what did I say about che-

“You had a cheese and onion casserole.” Twilight said without hesitation. Cutting off the narrator.

“WHAT!? How did you know!?” Trixie demanded.

“Lets just say you’re giving off something great and powerful.” Twilight said as she covered her nose with her hoof as Trixie’s breath washed over her.

Trixie looked like she was going to explode… And then she did. In her place was another loot chest but smaller. After checking it they found a strange silver coin with Trixie’s face on it as well as a glowing sword that radiated darkness and a glowing, golden apple.

Pegasus looked at the golden apple as if he saw a ghost, “It can’t be...can it?” Walking towards the apple, he examined the fruit closely. “It’s just like the ones from her garden…..” When he reached down and picked it up it glowed brightly and when it stopped he was holding a magic card. “Golden Apple. Discard one card from your hand to the graveyard to increase one player’s or monster’s health by 1000 life points or return one monster or player from the graveyard with half health.”

Jack had taken that moment to stand beside Pegasus again, a frown firmly plastered on his face while his Claptrap waved. Though looking to have freed of the ‘large trashcan’, he exhaled slowly before asking. “Golden fruit of ‘knowledge’ from the bible made to damn those who thumb at God?” He seemed apprehensive about ‘magical’ gifts.

Think Greek actually.

He looked up at the sky before asking aloud. “So, any ‘hints’ regarding what we’ll face next since the resident einstein got us passing grades?” He asked hopefully while eyeing Luna with a blank expression, or stoic before shifting it towards somewhere else.

“I think I know.” Twilight said as she took the boss key she got from the fight with Mr. Freeze and held it up to the door. The key slowed as it pulled itself from her magical grasp and inserted itself into the keyhole. With a resounding click the door opened revealing a shroud of darkness. “End game” Twilight said as she looked inside.

Jack regarded the opened door with that previous look before looking up to the sky speaking aloud. “If we get through this and I find out that you’re the freak show in the sky with all those eyes always watching me, I will have so many empty fucks to give you.” Before briskly kicking Claptrap through the doorway and brazenly stepped through saluting Twilight as a boy scout would.

Looking at the image of the Golden Apple one last time, Pegasus stored it in his pocket and walked through the door, not paying much attention to where they were going. “Eris….”

The others followed while Luna hummed a happy tune. When they got inside they found what appeared to be a dark temple. And sitting on one side of the altar was Mr. Nibbles at normal size but shriveled up as he held a large sheet of bubble wrap and was popping the bubbles one at a time while sitting on the other side in a frilly pink dress and shining golden tiara was the white pony sacrifice who was also popping the bubbles on the other side of the sheet with their hooves. But this was not Princess Celestia. What the party saw when the sacrifical princess turned to look at them was Shining Armor.

“About time you guys showed up.” Shining said in annoyance as he continued to pop the bubbles.

Jack squinted at the sight, a full moment passed until his fingers clicked as Discord would have done. Though the action was in remembering, something quite morbid. “Hey aren’t you the guy I crippled with multiple gunshots in my universe? Only to hear of you getting some ‘magic’ enhancement graphs or ‘armor’ since your wife begged me to spare your life and be my personal servant for ten years? That’s two sentences combined for the two of ‘you’ by the way, for reasons.”

Shining looked Jack up and down. “I don’t think so. You’re scrawny and don’t move with any discipline. And I don’t detect any magic in you. There is no way I would lose to you.” Shiny dismissed but looked at Jack with disgust for such a thing.

Mr.Nibbles Looked up at the party before snarling then looking up.”Forget it. I’m not wasting my time with such worthless rodents. Especially over something as idiotic as...This!” Mr. Nibbles shouted angrily as he held up the sheet of bubble wrap.

Remember Trixie’s suggestion to have you neutered?

Mr. Nibbles pailed at the memory. “I retract my previous statement.”

Good boy.

Mr. Nibbles gave a feral grin at the party. “At least there is one part of this game that I can enjoy. Oh minions!”

At his call the sound of hoof falls echoed from the tunnel in the back. The first one that came out was a chicken wearing sunglasses with a small sword on his back. Shortly after that the next minion to come out was…

“How did I let myself get talked into this.” Celestia said as she strode out in red armor with a fire pattern and a flaming greatsword on her back.

Because you love me. And it will be excellent combat training.

Mr. Nibbles snorted and pushed a button on the wall activating four fountains in each corner that ran with a familiar green substance.

“...Bwahahahahahaha!” Luna laughed at her sister's expense and lost her balance and fell to the floor.

“First Luna kept shooting me in the… kept shooting me while we played Mario Cart and now this from my own aunt. Both of you had better remember this because I will.” Celestia said with a twitching eyebrow.

Jack’s first reaction to seeing Celestia, was simply to turn and look at his fellow party members before hiding behind Luna pointing at her sister. “I am not going to deal with crazy horse there, she’s worse than that assistant Lyra and her hobby of ‘human studies’ as one of my employees. Also that slight twitching face she’d do if another female of any sort got near me, what’s the word the japanese use for crazy violent stalker girl who loves you?” He asked that last part in question, trying to recall what he was meaning.

Celestia just raised an eyebrow at Jack. “Don’t worry. I think I can restrain myself.” She said in that deadpan tone. But then she saw the displaced Twilight. “Twilight what are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be having your therapy session with Dr. Wolf right now? I don’t think you should be playing this game with all these displaced considering you chopped a large chunk of the last one’s leg off with a bone saw to see how it works.” Celestia said with some concern.

"Different twilight," Buu said, casually floating around, "Also thanks for continuing the story without me, I mean geez," he said snorting, crossing his arms.

You were there for all the challenges you should have done something if you wanted to so bad.

"No, I was waiting for you guys to message my author, guys writing on a phone for God’s sake. This is why multi-author works are a pain in the ass." Buu mumbled, glaring up at the narrator.

Jack looks at Buu in a strange way, from his current ‘safe’ place behind Luna for the moment before carefully looking around again. “I’m trapped in some, fucked up magic book again?! How?! First it was that crotchety Starswirl, now whoever!”

Was wondering how long it would take someone to figure it out. Yes you’re trapped in a book. You see I’m extremely skilled in making dark or cursed artifacts which include this book. I got displaced as a villainous character and my body produces dark magic like a unicorn produces the normal kind. It comes with the benefit of being immune to its corrupting effects but being only able to use darkness comes with its share of issues. Like a fanatic group of self proclaimed heroes trying to kill me no matter how much evidence that I’m not evil pops up!...Sorry I got on a tangent there.

"Ouch, sucks ass." Buu commented, nibbling on a cupcake, "Want one??" He asked, offering one to Celestia.

“Oh, thank you.” Celestia said graciously as she accepted the cupcake

Jack kept looking towards her while quietly speaking to Luna. “Keep your eye on her, she’ll likely flip out and kill someone any moment now. Doubly so since this is some Book story and she’s a villain mob.” His eyes looked to the Chicken suspiciously as well, seeming to be in thought on how it’s moving and reaction. “That chicken seems to remind me of someone, or a meme.”

His name is Cluck Norris. Don’t be fooled by the fact that he is a chicken he is one of my more dangerous minions. I often send him on solo missions in places more dangerous than this quest appears to be.

"So...can we keep going?" Buu asked, looking around, "I need to get home before Beerus blows up the planet."

Don’t worry. I wouldn't risk lives for this game. When you return it will be like you were just taking a short nap. Not much time will have passed at all.

“Regardless I think we should conclude this game.” Celestia agreed as she daintily dabbed her lips with a napkin after her cupcake. Mr. Nibbles reached under the table and pulled out a can before popping it open and chugging the contents and setting it down revealing it to be a Red Bull can. Everyone watched as he grew in size and muscle until he looked like he did after he absorbed the magic from Twilight in the show. only with a pair of tiny wings on his back.

Buu just watched, raising an eyebrow.

Pegasus stared at the giant sized Tirek with a glare, “Well, it’s been a while since I’ve seen Tirek using this form, although the wings are something that my Tirek didn’t have.” Taking out the Golden Apple card from his pocket, he looked back up at the sky. “Hey, can I use this to revive a fallen party member?”

Yes you can actually.

“Then I’ll use my Golden Apple to revive our fallen party member; Emerl!” Pegasus declared as the card glowed. It rose into the air and disintegrated as its light rose up and gathered into a ball.

A big hole appeared in the sky right where the light had stopped as Emerl was falling flailing his arms before he remembers rouge’s flight that he began to descend by flapping his arms in sync. His armor still looked damaged but he was still functioning fine. He looked at the team with a glare. “Why did you summon me back now? My boss will be bitchy without skittles.” Everyone pointed behind him as he notice the centaur. “Oh! The wings equal to the size of his privates and how did you guys let this happen?” There was a sound of rolling dice then Emerl suddenly felt his third eye opening as a rush of power and skills. His body began moving hyperactively like Pinky Pie with a sugar rush. Emerl asked in a fast pace. >> “Holy shit! I’m filled with so much power I can’t stop moving or talking fast.” Everyone had to question the robot’s behavior.

"Heh, feels like me after absorbing someone," Buu commented with a small smirk.

Emerl rushed at the centaur at high speed as he punched it with an explosive impact. The centaur stood his ground as he retaliates with a magic blast from between his horns. But all he hit was a blur. The centaur was confused as the robot was ontop of him asking. “Your wings shows your pride or the amount of sex you had in life?” For the next few moments, Emerl unleashes a barrage of fast explosive hits breaking the Centaur's horns, his ribs and tearing off a wing. However, Emerl’s third eye suddenly closes when he threw the last punch. Both fighters stare at the new occurrence as Emerl sheepishly smiles and laughs. “So we call it even?” He received a fist to the face launching him through several walls. He screamed out. “Why!”

“That tin can is going to die slowly.” Mr. Nibbles said before his attention was drawn to Buu. “What are you saying?”

Buu got into a stance, cupping his hands together. "Ka...me...ha...me...ha!" He shouted, aiming at Mr. Nibbles face, unleashing a massive blast of ki. Mr. Nibbles screamed in pain as he lifted his hand to protect his face as the attack was pushing him back against the wall that was starting to crack under the pressure.

“What are you two waiting for!? Attack!” Mr. Nibbles shouted causing Cluck Norris and Celestia to charge in. Cluck moved in on Twilight who attacked with blast after blast of magic but missed every shot. When Cluck moved in he drew his blade with his beak and ran past her. She was confused until all of her weapons and tools split in half with a clean cut.

Celestia drew her flaming sword and challenged. “So who wants to fall by my blade first?”

Pegasus smirked, his Newdoria standing protectively in front of him, “Well pardon me, but the only one who will be falling today is you. Newdoria attack!” The large demon charged at Celestia, swiping his large claws at her. Celestia looked at the demon impassively as she readied herself. When the demon made its attack Celestia sidestepped at the last moment and cut deeply setting the monster on fire. A screen showing its attack and defence showed up over its head and its defence points dropped from the attack.

“My aunt has been giving me special training to get me back into fighting shape. After the training inside of that horrible Ninja Gaiden game that monster is just too bulky and slow.” Celestia said matter of factly.

"Buu motherfucker!" Buu shouted, wrapping himself around her, his body spreading over her. "Absorption time!" Celestia shouted in surprise and tried pushing out with her telekinesis but the elastic nature of Buu’s body made it difficult to keep him from touching her and impossible to break off. In a last ditch effort she managed to teleport out but looked at Buu with wide eyes.

“Well, I’m certainly not dropping my guard around you again.” She said warily before Mr. Nibbles threw a massive boulder that used to be a part of the wall at Buu. Buu used vanishing beam, blowing it up. He smirked, cracking his neck.

"Can't stop absorption Celly," he said, powering himself up.

Emerl got up as he ask the narrator. “Do I still have my recovery skills?”

Need a healing item or spell cast on you. Knights just don't have that skill I’m afraid.

Buu flew at Celestia, throwing a punch at her face. She quickly raised a shield but it broke under the pressure and went through with only slightly less force and launched her back and through the wall creating a perfect Celestia shaped hole. Buu left a part of his fist against her face, which started to spread over her again, quickly going for her horn.

“Wa NO! Let” There was a moment of silence. “Go!.... BUCK!” This time Celestia’s voice was disembodied like the narrator’s.

Celly! Language!

“Sorry aunty.” Celestia’s voice said sadly as a pink blob shot out of the Celestia shaped hole in the wall and collided with Buu’s chest and sank in like mixing a piece of putty back with a larger piece. Buu returned to normal, though Celestia's regalia appeared on him.

"Well that was something I never thought I'd do..." Buu commented, poking his crown.

“So that makes you buulestia or what?” Emerl asked as he tries to help twilight with Cluck Norris only to get almost killed by his beak. “Ow, how strong is this chicken and how am I alive?” Only to hear a dice roll. There was a sound of metal hitting the ground as both of his arms fell off though no other damage was done. ”Harmony, anything you could legally do to help?” Emerl only receive a direction note from his boss as he went out of the fight for a moment. When he return he opened his chest body to reveal a jar of worms and a bag of popcorn as he yelled out. “Hey ya great cock come and get me!” Emerl hoped the dice roll is in his favor for delaying the chicken. He heard a dice as he began running while yelling at twilight. “Beat the tar out of the gerbil!” Unfortunately the dice weren't with him and all he was doing was running away while the others fought. Twilight groaned as she struggled to get up but then she felt the tiny feet of a chicken on her back and turned to see that Cluck was about to run her head through when the sounds of dice filled the air. And somehow managed to stab Mr. Nibbles in the left hind leg getting a grunt of annoyance from the boss. Cluck cocked his head in confusion and looked up at a picture of a red, twenty sided dice floating over his head with a ‘1’ inside it.

“BAWK! ba ba bawak!” Cluck said indignantly as subtitles appeared over his head. ‘Cluck Norris doesn't roll ones!’

Mr. Nibbles just rolled his eyes before moving into attack Pegasus. His fist raised to crush him.

Pulling on the Lyre’s strings, a pink mist surrounded him, “I’ll sacrifice Newdoria, in order to summon; Toon Summon Skull!” The mist disappeared and in it’s place was a familiar blue skull like demon. “Toon Summon Skull attack!” Cackling madly, the Toon tackled Tirek, his body covered in electricity. Mr. Nibbles shouted in pain as he charged faster and grabbed onto the toon which unfortunately for him just gave him a stronger shock. With an enraged shout he headbutted the toon summon skull in the chest. His one horn running the toon through, When Mr. Nibbles pushed back and smirked expecting the toon to fall dead but it quickly fell to confusion as the toon started acting out an exaggerated death scene before falling over...Then jumping up and pulling a bandaid out of nowhere and placing it over the hole then blowing a raspberry at Mr. Nibbles.

“Oh great. Its an even uglier version of Discord.” Mr. Nibbles deadpanned before punching the toon across the room. Just before it could fall into the fountain full of Dip it screeched to a halt making the sound of a boat whistle combined with a scream as it’s eyes popped out of it’s head in horror at the fountain and it ran through the air back to Pegasus. Mr. Nibbles raised an eyebrow at this before smirking. “Interesting reaction. What would happen if I busted the pipes and filled the room with that stuff?” He asked as he turned and started running toward one of the fountains.

Before he could get to the fountain a kick hit him in the johns and he falls down groaning as he stare at the disarmed robot with pure fury. Emerl asked. “I thought you were going to kill me slowly and here you are messing with toons? I think you need a personal twilight app, but you seem too chubby and ugly to get a good mare so how about a mule app?” Emerl squirted the worms and popcorn from his chest to further the rage.

Mr. Nibbles was very old and would normally not fall for taunting but after the armless robot spoke the sound of dice rolled and a golden twenty sided dice appeared over his head with a ‘20’ in it and he felt the overwhelming need to punch the robot into scrap metal. With a mighty uppercut he sent the robot flying three meters with a slight dent.

A bad roll for damage Mr. Nibbles. Sorry.

“Is that all you got?” Emerl got up with sparks gushing out of his head as he continued his taunting knowing he can die by two hits as he attempted to dodge the incoming punches . Emerl hopes Pegasus could destroy the dip or summon Relinquish as Mr. Nibbles remembers he has bloody magic which he raises his hand to hold Emerl in place similar to the force.

Pegasus began to play a tune, a tune that was different than all the other ones as it was much darker and a blue mist started to gather around him, “I’ll sacrifice my Toon Skull, and unleash Relinquished!” A green card flew from his pocket and into the mist. The blue mist began to grow and form into a large hideous, one eyed demon. “Relinquished, absorb Mr. Nibbles!” The demon let out a small groan and charged towards the centaur, the small opening in his stomach expanding. Turning to see the incoming, one eyed monstrosity he turned and threw Emerl into the open mouth and braced for whatever happens.

Putting his two large wings in front of him as if it was a shield, a familiar robot appeared, attached to the Relinquished’s wings. Rushing towards Mr. Nibbles again, the demon tried to claw at him, ignoring Emerl’s protest. Mr. Nibbles grunted in pain but grabbed the monster and charged at a fountain and dunked it in.

“Well that was anticlimactic.” He said with a grin.

I wouldn’t get cocky. Your health bar is low and I think it’s summoner has something important to tell you.

Raising an eyebrow Mr. Nibbles turned away from the fountain and looked at Pegasus questioningly.

Pegasus chuckled, “You see Mr. Nibbles, the ‘Dip’ only works on my Toon monsters,” He pointed at the fountain. “And my Relinquished isn’t a toon monster, he’s just a ritual demon.” A large blue claw shot out of the fountain and grabbed the centaur, floating out of the fountain the Relinquished’s claw began to glow, using the energy he’s absorbing from Emerl, he started to claw at Mr. Nibbles. Though Mr. Nibbles tried to reach behind himself and pull the demon off his form was too bulky so he started bucking at it with his hind legs and from the dropping defence points and Mr. Nibbles’s heath bar it looked close. Just before it dropped completely Mr. Nibbles managed to knock Relinquished back to ‘0’ turning him back to normal. But before he could finish the job he froze as the rest of his life bar disappeared. He slowly turned and saw a softly panting Twilight had snuck up on him and thrusted the pointy half of one of her cut in half daggers into his back. With a groan Mr. Nibbles disintegrated.

Well that was fun. But the fight could have lasted longer if someone was helping.

Cluck Norris was standing at the alter pecking at the bubble wrap to pop them before looking up and clucking in annoyance. Once again the subtitles appeared over his head. ‘Cluck norris does not roll ones!’. After that he went back to pecking at the bubbles while mumbling to himself getting new subtitles. ‘This stuff is addictive.’

...Right. Well I guess you guys win. Congrats.

“Wow, this was fun. So can anyone heal my body be-” Emerl’s body fell from the assault it went through.

Pegasus stared at his fallen comrade, “Well, does anyone have any healing items?” He asked, looking around the group.

Luna looked through the bag of loot before shaking her head.

Like a good neighbor! State Farm is there!

With those words Emerl’s body suddenly was back to 100%. “Thank you Rin! I’m going to make you some ice cream after this.” Emerl declared to the narrator.

No problem. Now I guess you all want to go home. So I say goodnight to all and good morning.

I closed the book ending the powerful dream magic and severing the connection to the tokens and activating it’s scribing magic as it shifted and created a new book with the title ‘The Quest for the Bubble Wrap of Popping!’ with a picture of all of the party charging into battle against a snarling Mr. Nibbles as he held up a giant roll of bubble wrap. “And they all lived happily ever after...Well at least until I decide to write a sequel.” I then smile down. “So did you enjoy your bedtime story?” Vinyl noded sleepily as she snuggled next to Octavia who was looking at me funny.

“That was the strangest story I ever heard. It almost sounded like you were talking with the characters in that book.” Octavia said with a cocked eyebrow.

“It did sound that way didn’t it?” I asked with a look of pure innocence.

“And Princess Celestia who was sleeping on a cot over there until her character died? Then started talking to the book as well?” She asked.

“Look I read you a bedtime story. Is it helping you sleep or not?” I asked with a deadpan. Octavia looked around the coffin she was now expected to sleep in.

“No.” She answered matter of factly.

“...Luna.”

“We’re on it.” Luna said as she climbed out of her cot and forced Octavia into pleasant dreams.

“I’m afraid it will take her some time to get used to sleeping in a coffin.” I say with sadness before magically returning my book to the toy box with the rest of my toys and walked out of the room. I think I have some gifts to send as a good hostess should.

Buu woke from his sleep and stretched but when he opened his eyes he looked up… and up at the biggest cake he had ever seen… Well biggest in real life. Written on it in chocolate icing were the words ‘For Buu. Good game!’

"Screwball! Daddy got diner!" He shouted, magicking up a knife and fork, starting to eat with a huge grin.

Jack grumbled and turned over, his eyes opened to see a flawless diamond bust in a perfect likeness of himself. Next to it was a note that when he tried to grab it jumped up and folded itself into a small origami anthro fox and started talking to him with the voice of the narrator.

“I figured this would be something you like...Also do something about that claptrap refusing to sell anything to me and accusing me of things I never did for no reason! Anyways enjoy the gift.” It then burst into blue flames and disappeared.

He looked at where the talking paper fox was with narrowed eyes, his gaze shifting to the side with a calm ‘not creepy at all’ standing F.A.U.S.T. smiling down at him as he laid out on his bed before pointing at her saying this. “Just make sure it doesn’t do anything funny, if it doesn’t have the claptrap who spoke to her work on cleaning duty in Everfree Point.” Before closing his eyes, and grumbling while ignoring a certain black alicorn whose eyes were glowing slits at the gift holding him possessively.

Twilight woke with a start from her bed. She looked around and found the book of riddles that Trixie had been looking through. When she looked inside she saw that the inside of the cover had pictures of her friend and loved ones as well as one of her and her adventuring party as they were just starting out.

Tears rolled from her eyes as she remembered her world, the picture one of the greatest gifts any displaced had given her. She chuckled a little at the picture of her new friends, she hoped she could visit them all some time.

Garres walked in the door, seeing her crying, “ What happened?”

“Good dream.” Twilight answered.

Pegasus woke and stretched before he noticed a present on the floor next to his bed. When he picked it up the card attached to it folded itself into an origami fox and spoke with the voice of the narrator.

“I heard what you said in your token and I took your words to heart but let me share my philosophy. There is no perfect. To bring all under one banner and freeze everything may stop war but I would see it as a prison. And as a master with necromancy I can safely say most prefer death. I know I asked the dead. Anyways with friendship and understanding I don’t think it would be needed. And a show of kindness can make a big difference for the better. I hope you will take that to heart as well.” With the message done it vanished in a blue flame. When Pegasus opened the box he found a magic card. The Golden Apple. Discard one card from your hand to the graveyard to give 1000 life points to the chosen player or special summon one monster from any graveyard with half its defence points in defence position on their owner's field.

Pegasus stared at the card and gave a small smile. “Thank you….” His smile became a bit more forced after thinking about her words, “But I have already tried to win them over with kindness, and she payed the price for my foolishness. I know now that the ponies can’t be reasoned with, or at least the ponies of my world. But thank you for your advice….” He looked at the Golden Apple design in his new card “...Eris..”, He pulled out his deck and added the card into his deck. Turning towards the other side of the room he saw his student, Starlight, snoring in her sleep. “...I’ll let you sleep a little longer, we have a big day of studying and magic training ahead of us tomorrow.”

Emerl woke with a snort and looked up to see two presents and a note. When he reached for it the note quickly folded itself into an origami fox and spoke to him. "You have a good heart but be more careful not to take to much weight onto your shoulders. The larger box is for Simba. Harmony told me he would like it.” When Emerl looked up he saw that the lion had already torn into his present and pulled out a book with the title ‘Adept Shadowmancy.’ “The second one is for you. I hope you like it.” The paper fox then burst into flames but burned nothing but itself not even leaving ash. When he opened his present he found a cake in the shape of a bandaid and the words ‘Get well soon’.

Emerl only smiled by the kitsune advice as he ask. “Yo Simba want to share the cake with me.” The shadow demon lion cub gave a nod. “Sure Big bro, that lady was pretty. I wonder if-” He had a playful bonk on the head as Emerl said. “She is older than you and you should find people your own age.” Simba gave an angry, yet adorable glare as Emerl only shook his head. “Hey if you don’t want to be friendzoned by a crush you should thank me. Now let’s enjoy the cake as bros.” After a few moment of cake eating, Emerl notice a note from Harmony as he opened it.

‘Hey Emerl

You remembered that you have to serve Rin for nearly a week so I want you to morph into tails and stay that way as you serve her, okay. By the way, I got you a butler suit so you better act like sebastian from black butler or else.

From Tikal ‘Knuckles’ Echidna’ aka ‘Harmony’ aka Master Emerald

Emerl only sweatdrop knowing she was serious. /Well you have become a slave to another one. I wonder if that makes you a whore?/ {Now listen you demon he is just honoring a commitment.} /A translation to slavery. Anyway, maybe a song will cheer you./ Emerl heard his corrupted half laugh when he began hearing the song of his ‘first death’ as the second voice laugh at their host’s misfortune {haha Sir Alan, I have to agree you did went on alone like a knave.} ‘Oh, shut it Sukai and Sin if I can split us up the first experience is my foot up your ass.’ Emerl began remembering his past mistakes. ‘I wonder if Rin could help with my other problems?’ He wrapped the note and through it in the trash as he morphed into a mobian fox with two tails and put on the Sebastian suit. “Simba feel like coming.” Simba nods eager to meet the kitsune mistress again as Emerl focus on Rin’s Tree of Harmony or his token and teleport to either one. An earth pony with rainbow swirling mane and a lavender coat came out of her hiding spot and spoke. “I hope Emerl can deal with my harmonic bitchy sister if he arrives to her place. Anyway I want to thank Playful Fox for having Scales of Harmony..” a dimensional portal opened as a piece of paper hit her in the head. She opened it and read as it had bold letters. “Stop breaking the dang wall and end it! From Emerl.” Harmony narrowed her eyes as she sigh. “Thank you and I hope this was a good experience. May you leave a comment below and happy reading everyone!!! twilight smile” She waved her hoof as everything fades to black.
