Something interesting must have happened. >Applejack approaches your side. >”Anon! Ah need ur help! Tha’ orchard is under attack by parasprites!” >They’ve kinda learned to stay calm when talking to you and address the problem clearly. >They know you’d help anyway. “Hmm, how much we talkin’ about?” >”A WHOLE NEST!” >You nearly spit out your drink at this. A nest? They’re rare, but when they do happen they’re a huge problem. >A big problem, sure, but you still need to help them.   >Fluttershy comes up to you. >”Please, help us Anon...if you don’t mind...” >It takes no second thought for you to understand that they need desperately need your help. >Okay, you’re gonna do this one. >You slam your mug to the table. “Alright girls, it time for the TWO-DIMENSIONAL HERO!” >You raise your fist into the air to emphasize your point. >The world suddenly ‘flattens’ out and becomes pixelated. >Glow from the fireplace becomes nothing but a faded grouping of orange pixels that slowly dissipate the farther from the source they get. >Edges become rigid and sharp. >Colors are more solid and stand out a bit more. >Your vision pans out to a screen like focus on the room, giving you sight of impossible angles. >Lucky you the world happened to be a thirty two bit design. Not like those nasty eight-biters... >A tiny box with a pixel portrait of you appears at the front of your vision. “Alright girls, a nest could mean trouble for more than just the orchard, we gotta go now before the whole town is infested!” [press a] >”Um, Anon?” [press a] >Fluttershy barely squeaks the word out. “Yeah?” [press a] >”Why are we all speaking in tiny boxes at the front of the... ‘screen’ thingie?” [press a] >Damn, that’s a good question. Why are you speaking like that? >Makes you wonder how you knew that it was a whisper when it was in text. “I don’t know, two dimensional powers I guess?” [press a] >You’ve never questioned it, it’s just been there since birth. >After taking the girls to the door, the ‘screen pans outside of the building. >The girls and you use a weird stock running animation and one by one walk out of the building with you at the lead. >Once outside you see that the town is being demolished by parasprites wrecking shit in the night. >This portion of the town has a huge night district, so lights from huge colourful signs light up the scene.   >The parasprites are not very normal looking ones, there big, like dog big. >What’s worst is that they’re all nest guardians, meaning that the nest is growing fast. >Ponies run and panic in the streets without making a noise, just little speech bubbles over their heads. >The girls and you all slide awkwardly into into a line in front of the bar using that shitty walk cycle that you have. >A hub selection and stats appear on the screen, a hunk of it has your stuff on it. >It says you have a pocket knife with six damage and three full hearts that are split into four parts. >Another part is left blank, this is an enemy stat box for when you hit something and receive its data. >A narrator's voice begins to ring out from nowhere. >”MISSION, START!” >A rockin tune springs out of nowhere. >https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xdv3fKqbYk >Mmm... dat bass. >You and the girls suddenly are given control over your bodies. >Same as the parasprites it seems. >They all stop what they’re doing and instantly target you instead of the horde of fleeting ponies. >Why you is a mystery. >You and the girls rush into a huge brawl while equipped with a knife. >The first foe sees and rushes at you. >You shank that mofo like a nigga on the streets. >It gets no physical damage but a small ‘-13’ sign tells you it’s working. >After a bit of shanking, you got him in a combo. >Kick, kick, punch, stab, slash, and punch. >At the end of the combo a ‘-57’ sign appears over his head. >A shitty death stock animation starts up and he deflates like a balloon. >The girls seem to be done to, time to keep going. >Just as the last one died and a tiny cool down passed, a huge arrow appeared in the sky and begun to blink with a repetitive ‘bweop’ sound. >You all start your shitty running animations and keep advancing. >Seriously, you look fucking retarded. >This time the screen moves with you. >After a bit of walking you reach a challenge.   >A pony is being pounded on by a group of parasprites. >Small “help” bubbles appear above his head. >His health bar is getting a bit low, you need to take action. >As soon as you get close, the parasprites start focusing their energy on you and the girls. >This time one of them lands a good hit on you, a ‘-2’ appears over your head. >You go to special moves in the menu and select ‘item attack’. >It’s not anything special, just ensures that a random item will fall. >You get a critical hit and the parasprite pops like a party favor. >The attack lost you one special move heart section, but you still got two and three fourths left, it’s no biggie. >Killing him dropped a small box with a ‘T’ on it. >You pick it up and the familiar voice rings “THROWING KNIVES!” >Now you can do what you’ve always could have done with a hint of common sense, great. >While you killed that one, the girls pounded the shit out of the other ones. >The pony that was cowering in fear the entire time is now safe. >He doesn’t even look, he just gives a “Thank you!” and runs away. >No reward? Huh, maybe that’s at the end. >This shit basically repeats itself for a while. >After a fight with a group of parasprites you are at Sugarcube Corner. >A “HELP!” bubble appears from the door and your hud disappears. >Pinkie’s portrait appears with a speech box. >”That sounded like Mrs.Cake! We gotta save her!” [press a] >You all involuntarily walk inside. >The screen fades out, and back in. >You’re all inside the dining room of the bakery. >Strangely, everything is bigger than on the outside, and you really mean big! >”MISSION, START!” >Parasprites start bursting out of window frames cabinets and run down the steps. >You chuck knives in every direction, parasprites be droppin’ like flies. >A parasprite eventually dropped an item box with a ‘G’ on the front. >”HANDGUN!” That voice is starting to piss you off...   >As the last parasprite dies, a help bubble appears from the top of the stairs. >You and the girls walk up the stairs which are now the width of an entire damn room. >The hud shows that you have fifty bullets left in your handgun. >At the top, the hallway is about the same size, but lengthy as fuck. >All of you fight and pick up cupcakes for health. >The girls and you finally reach the end of the hall way. >A door at the end of the wall is sprouting tiny “Help!” signs. >An arrow springs to life in the air, but you know better than to just go. >You walk up to the nearest door and start beating the shit out of it. >The door eventually breaks and pieces disappear in thin air. >A broiled turkey pops out from where the door used to be. >Just walking over it completely filled your health bar. >You turn to the door leading to the screams and open it up. for some reason, that wouldn’t have worked anywhere else. >The screen fades out and back in. >At the center of the room is a huge gorilla sized parasprite with arms and legs to match. >It stands brooding over over the cake family while they sit in the corner. >Options: Sneak Attack? Charge? Special Move? Scream? >You pick sneak attack. >Taking a rushing start at him, you plunge your blade into his back. >He gives a roar that shakes the room and throws you off. >A ‘-46’ appears above him. You think you’ve chosen correctly. >He turns and faces you and the mane six. >Getting even madder, he starts to bang his chest. >”YOU CAN’T GIVE IT UP. GO FOR IT, MAN!” >http://youtu.be/MhFU8Jms8bs?t=10m55s >He charges full speed at you, the mane six run while you dodge. >After passing you, he doesn’t seem to be stopping. >Without halt or slow, he hits the wall at full force. Like a fucking retard... >The room quakes as he rears his head back. >Tiny stars symbolize his daze and confusion. >You takes this as a time to strike and light that nigga up with yo gat.   >The gun icon says twenty five bullets left and you stop, you took about a quarter of his health. >After getting his back lit up like the fourth of July he roars. >It seems like his rage is charging him. >He takes a fucking ridiculous jump in the air that would touch the ceiling if there were one. >It’s like watching the fucking pogo stick world championship. He just won’t stop spamming! >He hit you and took out a tenth or something, fucking first bosses. >After jumping like a madman for like a minute, he takes a cooldown. This guy is making it too easy. >Instead of using your bullets on this guy, you’ll just you a combo. >You go to menu and select ‘hyper speed’, taking away one fourth of your hearts. >The effect are immediate and you rush after it and start wailing on the big ape. >Punch, punch, forward, kick, punch, you stomp the ground so hard that it shakes. >http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gb1ZQaj1zc0 [Embed] >You stand over the defeated and broken ape-like creature. >A kanji symbol for ten appears at the background of the ‘screen’. >”KO! YOU WIN!” >You and the girls begin involuntarily taking fucking retarded poses as your vision fades away. >Kills: 136, deaths: 0, rescues: 6, blah blah blah, whatever just hold a and wait. >You walk up to the cake family who are seemingly unharmed by the complete war that happened just a few feet away from them. >Mrs.Cake hand the gives the babies over to Mr.Cake. >”Thank you Anon, but the hive is in another building!” [press a] “No shit, I’m going to Sweet Apple Acres to finish them off now.” [press a] >Those two pixels make it look like she’s flipping you off...
