"We gotta get out of here and find out how to save them!" Bash hissed to me. The three of us were still perched on the top row of the underground stadium thing, everyone below us so we couldn't be seen.
"We need to wait, just to make sure they aren't actually going to kill each other," I told him, not taking my eyes off the arena as Herobrine started to speak from his platform below. As he rambled on, the word 'traitor' caught my attention.
Traitor, huh.
Hold on a second.
...
WHAAAAAT?!?!?!?!?!?!
"TR-" Pinkie gasped, but Bash quickly slapped a hand over her mouth. "-MMPHR?!" Pinkie finished.
In the strange reflecting pool below I could see everyone at the spawn, the Equestrians looking anxious and the Minecraftians determined as Herobrine and the mobs started counting down.
What kind of determined, though?
As the countdown reached 0, the sound of a cannon booming rang out, signaling the start. I watched anxiously as everyone awkwardly got off the platforms and headed towards the chests. The 'camera' zoomed in on Jason as he began to speak.
"Uh, okay, everyone gather round!"
Yeah, they weren't going to chop each other up just yet.
"Ok, lezzgo," I told Bash and Pinkie. We exited through the tunnel we had followed the three mobs down. It was basically just one straight narrow tunnel that probably went straight to the center of the dome, where the stadium was.
As we reached the end I saw the staircase top had closed up with dirt again, but I just beat up the blocks until we could get out. Minecraft logic for ya.
I squinted as we came up into the light, as we had been in dark underground caves.
"Okay! Let's bust our friends out of there!" Bash exclaimed, and ran over to the dome and started punching the glass. Almost as soon as he broke it, a new block appeared in his place.
"Oh, what the balls?" He asked, and broke the block again. A new one came in its place instantly.
"There must be some kind of enchantment on it," I said, looking through at the trees on the other side of the dome.
"Great! N-" Bash said frustratedly, but before he could finish, Pinkie gasped and called, "LOOK OUT!" just as something hit me hard in the back. I flew a couple of feet forward then landed on my side into the ground. My iron armor deflected most of the pain, however. I struggled to my feet to see something covered in a dark hood stood before Bash and Pinkie, both who had their swords raised. Something under the mystery attacker's hood glowed a bright blue, and Bash an Pinkie were surrounded by auras the same blue and were lifted into the air.
"STOP RIGHT THERE!" The hooded figure called in a booming double-voice. "TELL US WHAT YOU KNOW OF HEROBRINE!"
Pinkie gave a bright smile. "Sure! Well, Herobrine is this really big meany-pants who kidnapped our friends-" she was cut off as the blue aura around her and Bash disappeared, and they fell to the ground with a small thud.
The hooded figure threw its head back, revealing its face, and I was shocked to see that it was...a pony?
An actual pony too-not a minecraftian version of one, like Pinkie.
This pony was a dark blue color, with lighter, sparkly hair that waved as if it were blowing in the wind, even though there was no wind. She had a long, blue horn and wore a small black crown.
"Princess Luna!" Pinkie exclaimed, and gave a quick bow. "I can't believe you're here! I'm here too! Hi!!!"
Princess Luna looked over Pinkie with bewilderment and confusion. "Pinkie Pie? Where are the others? Why do you look like a Minecraftian?" she asked in a much more quiet, not-doubled voice.
"Oh, when we all got sent through that portal back in Equestria it must have made us look like them, like how Jerome here became a pony when he got sent to Equestria!" She explained, dragging me over.
Princess Luna looked Bash and I over. "So you were of the minecraftians that had traveled to Equestria six months ago?" she asked us. "Uh, well I was," I said. "Yep, Jerome went but Bash never did! But he's still our friend though! You should go sometime, Bash!" Pinkie suggested, throwing an encouraging glance at the melon. "You should go sometime, Bash," I added, and he threw me a look similar to the one he gave me when I pushed him off that tree. Good times.
"So, where are the others?" Luna asked Pinkie again.
"Oh, they're under that giant glass dome thing over there," Pinkie said, beckoning to the dome as if Luna would miss it. Luna's eyes went wide.
"Are they under the control of Herobrine?" she asked. "Well, we were all traveling together; the Equestrians, the seven Minecraftians who went to Equestria, and three other friends who came along. On our way, Herobrine captured everyone but us three," I explained to the tall blue unicorn. She nodded, her blue eyes troubled.
"We tried to break to dome, but there's some kind of enchantment on it!" Bash complained. Luna's eyes sparked with interest. "An enchantment?" She walked over to the dome and pointed her horn at it. It glowed a faint blue color for a moment, then she stopped and walked back over.
"Herobrine himself set this enchantment over this dome. However, I may be able to lift it myself," Luna reported. "That's great! And we can break everyone out!" Pinkie exclaimed. "So, what brings you to Minecraftia anyways?" she asked with a slightly more serious face.
Luna sighed. "News had spread like flames throughout Equestria of the capture of Princess Twilight Sparkle and her friends. When my sister and I had found out of the tragedy, we had combined our magic to create a temporary portal to Minecraftia. I had volunteered to go and rescue them, and eventually convinced my sister to let me go. I had set a spell over myself to keep me safe from the effects of Minecraftia, and after a short while I had located you and all your friends."
"Wait, who's your sister?" I asked.
"Princess Celestia. You have met her, have you not?" Luna replied.
"Oh, yeah! The alicorn Mitch saved from an enderpony," I remembered.
"Mitch did WHAT?" Bash exclaimed, but Pinkie interrupted. "Wait a second! Why did you volunteer to come here?" she asked.
Luna looked troubled as she glanced at the dome. "You see, I know much more of the darknesses and the evils in the world, as I was once Nightmare Moon. Something terrible is arising, more powerful than Herobrine himself. You haven't been brought here just for revenge. Herobrine is aiding this evil in its attempt to take over Minecraftia and Equestria, two of the most largest and most powerful dimensions in the universe."
