Just Another Day; Good Work Delta
Chapter 37: Chapter 2: Gamers United
Previous Chapter Next ChapterCanterlot / The Crew / Wednesday 10:00 AM
Today, The Crew has been challenged by Prince Blueblood, the royal pain in the ass. What he wanted this time is that he thinks his group of mercenaries could beat the best, but he was dead wrong.
"Okay, the only rules are, you are not to fight to the death, no guns, and no magic." Princess Luna announced to the ones down in the arena. Melee weapons and non-lethal equipment are allowed, that's why the mercs had knives, which wasn't good for Delta, but Delta had brass knuckles, in which they could do some damage with those. The Crew then heard some countdown music.
"Delta Team you are clear to engage." Princess Celestia announced, the crew then made their way towards the center of the arena.
"Contact left!" Nick called out, The Crew then aimed their way left, to see five of them, charging towards Delta. They readied into a defensive position, and waited for the mercenaries to come to them. Jhon and Drew were knocked on their asses while Nick and Kaptn retaliated with an uppercut.
"Oh hot DAMN that hurts!" Drew rubbed his ass while getting back up, only to get bucked in the chest, pushing him backwards. The merc then tried to get him under his chin, but Drew grabbed his hoof and tripped him up, curb stomping his chest. Nick was dodging and giving his opponent quick jabs to the face, like a professional boxer, eventually knocking him out. Kaptn had two guys on him, he was taking hits like a champ, he was the buff guy of The Crew, Kaptn then saw that Jhon was having trouble, so he threw a concussion grenade over to his area.
"Jhon! Concussion out!" He called out to him, Jhon then put on his sunglasses and earplugs. The concussion grenade then detonated and his attackers were temporarily blinded and deafened. He then looked back at his own enemies and saw them running for the arena gates.
"Heh, wuss!" He called out to them, they were still running toward the gates, getting out. Jhon on the other hand was using his style of mixed martial arts, combining Ju Jitzu, Kung Fu, and Taekwondo. He had one of them in a headlock while the other one under his knee, Jhon was kneeling on the poor bastard.
The next thing you know there are mercenaries all over the floor, knocked out and beaten.
"I guess Delta Team wins!" Princess Luna announced, it really wasn't that hard to take them on, but they had them for a second there.
"Oh ponyfeathers!" Prince Blueblood stomped the ground in defeat, crying.
"I think that settles that." Princess Luna stated blankly, The Crew fist bumped and patted each other on the back, only coming out with minor scratches from the knives the mercs wielded.
"C'mon guys! We haven't been inside of Canterlot ever since we left! We got some re-exploring to do!" Drew pushed his friends outside to see what has changed in the last two years. When they looked around, it was pretty much the same, except that they saw a video game store, which was new. Princess Luna happily trotted inside, guiding the boys around. These games looked a lot similar to the early 21st century games on Earth. There was Untrotted 1, 2 & 3, Mare Space 1 and 2, Fallout 3 and New Pegasus, Call of Cutie: Modern Warmare series, and other stuff too. Drew needed to get a console, he decided to get both a Neighstation 3 and an Xbucks 360, so he could play the console exclusives and other games. Once The Crew made it to their rooms in Canterlot Castle, they instantly unboxed that bitch and plugged it in to their TV. Once they plugged it in they started to play Call of Cutie: Modern Warmare 2, one of their favorites, they invited Princess Luna to play, they named their user name after Jhon, Dat_Asian_Boi227.
After that Drew started to boss it up with the ACR with a silencer and stopping power, getting high K/D ratios and stuff. A few matches later Drew decided to go outside into the city, taking a leisurely stroll, leaving Nick in his place, quickscoping noobs with the Intervention. Drew was looking around the late night stores, to see what they sold at night, until he came across a stallion, followed by a unicorn mare that has the same figure as Princess Luna walking by him.
"Hmm, I see the rumors are true." He said, walking up to Drew. He was looking at his clothes apparently, he was wearing baggy cargo shorts and a faded green cotton tee.
"Can I help you?" Drew asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Are you that human that's in charge of what they call 'Delta Force'?" He asked, Drew nodded slowly. Drew didn't know what his intentions were, but it creeped him out.
"I was wondering if you can give me your shirt?" Why would he need Drew's shirt for?
"Umm, why?" Drew asked, the unknown stallion chuckled.
"So I can use it to start a new fashion trend! Duh." He replied, Drew just went with it and gave him his faded olive colored tee, he had a dry-fit underneath anyway.
"I do apologize, my name is Mister Fancy Pants, this is my companion Fleur De Lis, you must be Drew." He introduced himself to Drew. Drew nodded, and walked away, not even saying another word. He then made his way back to the castle, and went towards Princess Luna's room.
"Ahh fuck!" Ohh, Princess Luna has picked up a few things from the humans.
"I didn't know you cuss Princess?" Drew mocked, she was doing a 1v1 with Nick, and she was losing pretty badly, and she's 10th prestige.
"Oh! Drew! Hi, uhmm, I wasn't cussing. Nope, no cussing here!" She tried to hide it, but Drew gave her the angry Asian stare.
"Oh fine! I may have picked something up from Captain Shining Armor during your absence." She admitted, Drew just chuckled and took a seat, watching her play. Drew knew she had a lot to learn when it comes to playing Call of Cutie, which was pretty much Call of Duty back on Earth.
"Use Sleight of Hand, Stopping Power, and Ninja, change your buttons to tactical, and also change your sensitivity level to 7 or up. That should help you." Drew stated, Luna did just that, and she dodged Nick's quickscope by turning around on him followed by a dropshot.
"It worked! How do you know so much about this game?" She asked, Drew just chuckled and told her to keep watching the screen. That night Drew was up coaching Luna on how to be better, and to also watch Nick's ass get handed to him.
"FUUUUUUUUUUUUU-" Drew heard Nick's voice say through the TV, but it got cut off.
"Yes! The fun has been DOUBLED!" She threw her controller in the air, Drew just chuckled as he went back to his room, seeing Nick moaning into his pillow.
"Princess Luna's cheating Drew! She got Princess Celestia to play and now it's a 2 against 1 situation." He moaned, Drew knows that's unfair so he grabbed a controller and turned it on. He then put together his favorite custom class, the ACR with silencer, Scavenger, Stopping Power, and Ninja. With the Predator Missile, Pave Low, and Tactical Nuke killstreaks. The fight went on forever, but Drew eventually got a Pave Low, making Luna and Celestia rage. The princesses then gave up, they got blown up by Drew's Tactical Nuke, and they lost.
"I see not to get on the bad side of Delta when they're gaming..." Princess Luna stated blankly, Princess Celestia nodded, they both giggled at how serious The Crew was when they're gaming, a bunch of tryhards. Drew then went online to face the MLG Pros, kicking their asses in the process. Drew then got off and went to sleep in his Canterlot Room, separate from his crew members.
Princess Luna took this chance to practice her skills to try and beat Drew in Call of Cutie, raising her K/D significantly.
"Lulu, go to bed!" Princess Celesta's eyes were bloodshot, and she was damn tired, Drew from across the hall was sleep talking again.
"Haha! Take that you piece of shit griffon!" He shouted, and then started to snore again. Both princesses started giggling and went to bed.
Rainbow in Ponyville received a letter from Princess Luna a few hours earlier letting her know about Drew's gaming habits. Rainbow was a gamer herself and decided to go play with The Crew, who was sharing one account. Once she saw the name of their account she cried out laughing, the Crew purposely makes funny user names when they play Call of Cutie, or any game really. They meant for it to be like, 'You got killed by: Dat_Asian_Boi227' in the chat log.
Once they fell asleep Rainbow was left, playing with Princess Luna. They were pretty evenly matched against each other, almost calling it a draw every time. They were a few hours into the night until Drew called, he woke up because Princess Luna was yelling over her microphone. Princess Luna rejected Princess Celestia's order and kept playing in the first place.
"Rainbow! Go to sleep!" Drew called the house phone, Rainbow heard the voicemail and went to sleep, not wanting to get Drew or any of them mad at her.
The Crew then woke up early in the morning to get in some virtual Team Deathmatch, training them for real life situations. Princess Luna woke up early to see what all the commotion was about in the castle courtyard, seeing the Crew fighting each other. She then wanted to give it a try and Drew gave her his vest, turning on her favorite perks for her and she went into the field. It turns out she was a natural at this, only that she had to use physical energy while playing video games at the same time. Luna's training in the virtual reality actually made her stronger, mentally and physically. By making her battle planning more effective, and it made her stronger because the perks vest simulated real body armor. The perk vests don't get used by Delta in the actual field because it may simulate real body armor, but it doesn't protect like real body armor.
"I think I'm done with video games for a while." Drew sat down on the bench, rubbing his head. For Drew playing games for too long gives him headaches, and he just wasn't in the mood anymore.
"Likewise Drew." Princess Luna sat down next to him, Drew picked her up and started to go into the castle.
"I demand that you put me down Drew!" Princess Luna was helpless against Drew's grip, he was holding her bridal style.
"No can do princess, you are too dizzy to be walking around the castle." He replied, first timers in VR training usually end up having fatigue, and Princess Luna was added to that long list.
"I am *yawn* not fatigued!" Case closed, that yawn just contradicted her statement.
"Shiny, Princess Luna here decided to do some VR training and CLAIMS she isn't tired. Can you verify that she ISN'T tired?" Drew asked him, he just randomly encountered Shining Armor patrolling the hallway at this hour.
"Hmm, I can't say I can. She has bags under her eyes." He smirked, Drew then picked her back up and tossed her on to her bed, locking the door behind him when he got out of her room.
Drew was pretty tired himself, so he used the last of his energy to get home, and go the fuck to sleep! Tomorrow they are going to be sent on another mission, so The Crew needed as much rest as possible. And of course, Rainbow didn't want Drew to leave.
"I can't stay Rainbow. When duty calls, I answer it." He stated.
"Then at least promise me you'll come home!" She retorted.
"As long as I have something to come home to, I will." This was Drew's sappiest statement ever. In all of history. He then kissed Rainbow and went to sleep, and he didn't wake up for the rest of the day.
