Turquoise and Haruka woke up ready to continue the quest while Lemon was still asleep. Haruka tried to wake up Lemon but she did not budge.

“ Who knew Lemon was a heavy sleeper,” Haruka said.

“ She isn't I think climbing all those stairs tired her out,” Turquoise said.

While Lemon was tossing and turning she grabbed onto Brigid’s tails and cuddled with them calling them fluffy fluff. Brigid did not like having her tails touched and unleashed some very cold air from her body causing Lemon to jolt right out of bed.

“ Jesus Criest what was that for Brigid were you trying to put me into cryonic sleep?” Lemon asked.

“ You tried to cuddle with her fluffy fluff and she did not like it but glad to see your awake,” Turquoise replied while quoting the fluffy fluff part.

The girls all left the Inn and went to explore Lycan. Haruka found a blacksmith shop that sold armor which the girls were glad to find. As soon as they entered they were greeted by a pink wolf girl wearing a blacksmith’s apron with her shop’s logo on it.

“ Welcome to my humble shop ladies here for some armor?” The wolf girl asked.

“ We sure are,” Lemon said.

“ You girls are in luck I just finished making some armor from my latest batch of Earth Dragon Excrement,” The Wolf Girl said before said armor appeared before them.

Turquoise and Haruka bought some and equipped it transforming the armored parts of their outfits into black metal that was slightly heavier.

“ You girls have a nice day and may the goddess bless you,” The wolf girl said before the group left.

Meanwhile back in the real world Twilight was busy working on her laptop.

“ Whatcha doing Twilight?” Rainbow asked.

“ Working on a way to help our friends,” Twilight replied.

“ Did you figure out how to bring the logout button back?” Pinkie asked.

“ Only Turquoise has that knowledge I can,t get them out of the game but I may be able to send a few of us into the game,” Twilight said.

“ Don,t we need nervegear to do that darling?” Rarity asked.

“ Not, in this case, I managed to connect to the server Turquoise has her game on so we should be able to play it the old fashion way and give our girls some help,” Twilight said.

“ That's great news,” Sunset said.

“ However there is something you should know I looked through Turquoise’s code and she programed her party system to allow six players maximum to one party so we can only send three of us in to join them,” Twilight said.

“ Anyway to decide who should go?” Sunset asked.

“ Count me in I was hoping for some action,” Rainbow said while pounding her fists together.

“ I’m going to your not the only one who spent hours playing games,” Sunset said.

“ Count me in to,” Fluttershy said causing the others to look at her with surprised expressions.

“ You actually want to go with them?” Pinkie asked.

“ I am in no real danger right Twilight,” Fluttershy asked.

“ Correct we are controlling our characters from out here so even if our health reaches zero we can pick up from the last saved point,” Twilight explained.

After explaining everything Twilight asked if there was a bigger screen she could sync her laptop too. Bullet showed them to Turquoise’s game room to use her plasma screen. As soon as Twilight was connected she opened the character creation screen for Sunset then set up the screen for Rainbow and Fluttershy.

Meanwhile back in the game Turquoise and her group arrived in front of a stairway leading up a tall mountain.

“ Are you kidding me more stairs?” Lemon whined.

“ Quit whining Lemon,” Haruka said.

“ I’m not whining I’m complaining,” Lemon retorted.

“ Either way we need to keep moving it's already been two days and I fear if we don,t get to the exit before the power runs out we may die,” Turquoise said.

After hearing the urgency of the situation the group started climbing the stairs. After what felt like an hour of climbing stairs the girls arrived at a Japanese temple with the kanji for fire above the gate. As soon as the girls entered the temple the temperature raise by thirty degrees. Despite the rise in heat, the girls were just fine.

“ How are we not burning up from this sweltering climate?” Lemon asked.

“ It’s the armor we just bought it was made to withstand temperatures below 2000 degrees so as long as we keep it on we should be fine but we must hurry right now the temperature is at 130 degrees and if it exceeds 2000 our armor will melt and we will lose all our health instantly,” Turquoise pointed out.

The girls fought their way through many fire monsters and as soon as they reached the halfway point inside the temple a giant phoenix appeared and unleashed a mighty screech before firing flaming feathers at them like they were knives. After dodging them Lemon fired a water spell at the Phoenix causing a small amount of damage.

“ That was a water attack it should have done more damage than that,” Lemon said frantically.

“ It's this intense heat the room is built like a giant oven designed to trap the heat inside. As long as we are in this room all damage from water attacks is cut in half,” Turquoise pointed out.

“ Let me guess because of the air being too hot to gather moister from it?” Haruka asked.

“ Exactly, Normally water beats fire but if the air is too hot the water just fizzles out,” Turquoise further explained.

As soon as the girls reached the halfway mark on the Phoenix’s health bar it switched from its wing attack to a fireball attack. The girls dodged most of the fireballs but some of them landed and reduced them to ten percent health except for Haruka who was focusing her energy. The Phoenix unleashed a massive fireball and launched it at the girls. Just when it looked like it was about to be over Haruka unleashed her power and sent the fireball back at the Phoenix causing it to reduce to ash.

“ You did it Haruka you beat the mini-boss,” Lemon said joyfully.

Just as the girls were about to leave the ashes began to form into a ball and out of the ball came a red and orange bird the size of a hawk wearing a ruby necklace. Haruka than got a notification asking if she wanted to bond with the bird.

“ Should I do it, love?” Haruka asked Turquoise.

“ It was you who delivered the decisive blow so it's all yours,” Turquoise said.

Haruka hit yes and placed her hand on the bird's head thus bonding with it. As soon as the name screen appeared Haruka typed the name Taka and completed the contract now giving Haruka a Spirit Pet of her own.

“ What does your new friend do?” Lemon asked.

Haruka pulled out her menu and looked at Taka’s stats.

“ Taka is a Fire Elemental with some impressive attack stats,” Haruka said.

The girls pressed on and after what felt like almost an hour of fighting waves of enemies they arrived at the boss door. Before they entered the Boss Room a Griffon Archer with rainbow-colored hair along with a wolf shoulder with red and yellow hair and a Rabbit Beast Tamer with long pink hair caught up to them. The girls recognized them as Rainbow, Sunset, and Fluttershy

“ How did you three get here and how did you catch up to us?” Turquoise asked.

“ Twilight found a way to get us in the game so we can help you and you need to reset things so players don't piggyback off of each other,” Sunset said.

The girls then received a notification that Rainbowdash, Sunset Shimmer, and Fluttershy joined their party along with their health bars and stats.

“ Now that we have joined forces let's do this,” Rainbow said before kicking the door open.

As soon as the girls entered the room the door closed behind them and the sound of wings flapping echoed through the room. As soon as the girls looked up a dragon with crimson scales and piercing green eyes flew down and unleashed a mighty roar which echoed through the room.

Meanwhile back in the Real World Ace and his friends were looking around their new home until Cipher had a thought.

“ Don't you think we should get the girls out of the game?” Cipher asked.

“ Why should we? it's because of that sissy I lost everything, My home, My country, And now my identity,” Ace said.

“ You choose to hurt Turquoise on your own Ace if you just left her alone than none of this would have happened in the first place,” Zeke pointed out.

“ Why do you hate Transgender people to begin with anyway?” Cipher asked.

“ Because I was wronged by one when I was eight, all I wanted to do was to draw in peace. While I was drawing a landscape this boy and his two friends who were girls kidnapped me and dragged me into the girl’s bathroom and turned me into a freak. I pleaded with my parents to move to another state after the incident so we moved to California. I thought I finally left that nightmare behind but that sissy had to reopen my old wounds,” Ace said.

“ Wow, we never knew,” Zeke said.

“ In any case, I’m getting them out I only agreed to come with you so I could escape. Ms.Ruby just gave us another chance even though we caused this mess so I’m returning the favor by setting things right,” Cipher said while pulling a USB stick out.

Cipher arrived in Turquoise’s room hoping to find Twilight.

“ Cynthia, what are you doing here?” Ruby asked.

“ I’m here to set things right this USB stick contains a cheat code that will allow any player to go to any floor they want in the game along with their party,” Cipher said.

“ How do we know this isn't a trick?” Bullet asked.

“ That’s why I wanted to see Twilight she can verify if I am lying or not,” Cipher said.

“ She is in the Game Room with a couple of her friends helping the girls but let me warn you if this turns out to be another trap you and your two friends will be kicked off our property and left to handle the government on your own,” Bullet said

After being escorted to the game room by Bullet Cipher told Twilight about his cheat code and she did a scan on it.

“ Cipher is telling the truth this is an expressway to the fourth floor,” Twilight said.

“ But what about that enemy you left for them,” Bullet asked.

“ They don't have to fight it to reach the exit, I did not have enough time to use the boss code on it so it's just an ordinary monster,” Cipher said.

After hearing the good news Twilight decided to tell the girls.

Meanwhile back in the boss chamber, the girls were close to beating the fire dragon. As soon as Rainbow administered the final blow the dragon exploded and the Celestial Key of Fire appeared. After Turquoise picked it up she got a notification that Twilight was in the voice chat channel and answered it.

“ Great news girls we have a way to get to the exit faster,” Twilight said.

“ Let's hear it,” Turquoise said.

“ Cipher created a cheat code that can send you to any floor in the game so we are using it to get you girls to the fourth floor now,” Twilight said.

“ Normally I would be against this but since this is an emergency I will allow it,” Turquoise said before she saw her sword glow and a number four in green energy appeared on it.

“ Slash the air and it will create a portal to the fourth floor,” Twilight said.

Turquoise did as instructed and a rift with a lush green open field on the other side appeared. As soon as the girls entered they appeared on level four safely. In the distance was a glowing blue sphere in front of an area with blood-covered grass.

“ There is the exit but where is the” Turquoise asked before a creature with a vice-like body with a pair of needles for hands appeared and kept opening and closing its vice.

“ That must be the enemy Cipher was talking about,” Turquoise said.

“ You girls head for the exit leave this guy to us,’ Rainbow said before shooting it with an arrow and getting its attention.

The girls went for the exit only for the creature to try and stop them until Sunset charged in and blocked the creature with her shield. As soon as Turquoise, Haruka, and Lemon made it through the exit it vanished.

“ Ok Girls let log out and meet our friends,” Sunset said before she and her group left the game.

Minutes later Turquoise and her group regained consciousness and tried to get up only to wobble a little.

“ Easy girls you been in there for two days,” Ruby said referring to how the girls looked a bit thinner from fasting.

As soon as things calmed down the girls all went home but not before Turquoise proposed a beach day for tomorrow which they agreed on.

The next day the girls were relaxing on the beach recovering from all the monsters and fighting they went through.

“ This is more like it no monsters to fight and my best friends at my side,” Turquoise said.

“ You said it love Fenexia was great and all but it can't beat the real world,” Haruka said.

Author's Notes:

sorry, this one took so long been racking my brain on this one. After a lot of thought, I figured now would be a good time to bring our girls back home.
