"History just one part of friendship! Long ago, ponies three tribes: earth ponies, pegasi, unicorns. Ponies fought a lot. But then Windigoes attacked. Ponies nearly frozen, but ponies used magic of friendship to save day! Ponies united and formed Equestria!"
That was just one of the lessons Yona learned in Twilight's Friendship class. She also takes up Honesty, Loyalty, Laughter, Kindness, and Generosity classes, courtesy of Twilight's friends. Not only that, she also learns how to build friendships with other races, like griffons, hippogriffs, dragons, and Changelings. And speaking of friendships, she wants to know more about the Messenger and what he does. Bonding over common interests is one way to make a friend!

"Rarity, are you okay? We gotta get you and your friends outta here soon!"
Day one in which The Messenger casually spoils his own game's lore, unmarked
seriously skip this if you want, its a good indie game and Yona can just
not listen
he kinda talks his ears off
"Interesting. I see you come from a world of fantasy as well," said The Messenger, "Where I'm from, there's only a single island in the entire world. The rest of the land was destroyed by a flood. Billions died. However, there was a bit of prosperity for a time led by a Phantom and a Muse. I heard they were lovers of something. And then the demons showed up. There was a huge battle. The humans were driven well away from the temple and basically had to camp out in the west for several millenia. Not to mention the muse, she was killed defending her people. The phantom immediately seeked revenge and fought the demon king head on. And instead if outright killing him, the demon king banished him inside his own late wife's music box and made him a puppet, forcing him to perpetrate a curse that would lead them back every fifth century until the human race was wiped out. However, before he gave in, he made a scroll allowing Time Travel, thus connecting our ancestors and our descendants together. Every 500 years, when the demons came, a Messenger was sent by their predesessor with the scroll to a tower of time on top of a mountain. I was one of those Messengers. It was an endless loop of struggling and hopelessness."
The Messenger paused to think for a moment.
"Thankfully," he continued, [[blue:"I ended the curse myself. It was a long, arduous process. I died a lot.
A snarky, infuriating greed demon named Quarble brought me back every time. But, for the time being, my world is free now."]]

Underground Bunker, Computer Room
Snorting, Ichigo tries his best not to burst out laughing at the sight of Carnage running in slow motion to Chariots of Fire... only to fail miserably when Shriek partakes in a luau the very next day.
"Oh, god! It's like when Snoke went down a Wet Banana Slide all over again!"
Yeah, he's gonna need a minute.
Arena, Night 1
"Hey, get back here! I ain't through with you all just yet!" Carnage yells, cackling like the maniac he was as he runs after the other tributes, among them a Lego elf who was weirdly missing his legs... only to notice that they were all moving in slow motion. While the song "Chariots of Fire" was playing.
"...What the hell kinda place is this?"
Day 2
After losing his recently acquired servant Crazy Hand and the Chariots of Fire incident from last night, Carnage decided to take his mind off things with a bit of birdwatching... only to kill the first few birds he saw to vent his frustration. After that, it was right back to Fortnite Mobile, at which point he notices Shriek partaking in a luau, of all things.
"Frances, baby, what are you doing?"

Night 1
Sitting in a chair and having his head back at the wall, the fruitless search for Snow was sorta demotivating for him. That, on top of being humiliated twice over and Yona potentially going insane, was starting to make him reevaluate his priorities.

Day 1
All this lore is a lot to take in for the yak! All she can say to that is... "Yak like smashing things!"
She runs off to find some wood and stones and piles them all up before stomping them.
"Smashing things tradition in yak culture!"
She and the Messenger bond a little more before going separate ways.
Night 1
"Yona miss school friends! Yona miss Yak Leader! Yona hate Hunger Games!"
The young yak may have made a new friend in the Messenger, but she's still stressed from what happened today. She vents her frustrations by playing an evil jingle on the yovidaphone.
◊ She plays it so loud it can be heard outside her mud hut.
Meanwhile, the Databot detects Carnage running towards her. Threat detected.
She gallops off in the moonlight, with Chariots of Fire
playing on the Arena speakers while her galloping is somehow slowed down.
Day 2
Yona goes off looking for the Messenger when she sees Divine Kai clutch her chest and collapse. She goes to her and tries to save her by pressing her hooves on her chest to the rhythm.
Crunch.
The yak isn't able to control her strength and ends up crushing Kai's ribs. With tears in her eyes, she searches the Arena for a microphone to apologize to the latter's nominator on the speakers.
Meanwhile, squeaking can be heard every time the Databot takes a step. She comes across the mantis shrimp, which offers her a can of oil to clean her joints.
Scanning for hazardous chemicals. Warning: corrosive material detected.
Her gray eyes turn red and shoot lasers at it, blasting both the can and the shrimp away. She then turns the other way and runs off, not knowing that the shrimp somehow survived.

"Rarity, are you okay? We gotta get you and your friends outta here soon!"
Day 2
The Messenger was, for the first time in days, taking a small break. The stress of saving his world, being sent to an alternate dimension, and being forced to compete in a 48-person battle royale that may only end in death is not doing wonders for his mental health. He had previously heard from an outer source that his friend had killed a man attempting to use some strange revival technique he didn't know about, and quite honestly it was odd to hear about. He supposes that she was, for some purpose, too strong."Quarble?" he asks to the air, hoping he would appear. The aforementioned implike being did in fact appear, and he responded-
"This had better be good."
"Hey, you know that yak I made friends with yesterday?"
"Don't tell me."
"How many time shards will it be to bring her back? You know, since we're both gonna die anyway."
"Same as you, 50 time shards. What do you expect? A good Samaritan discount?"
"Very. Funny."
"Hey, someone has to be the comic relief."
"...So when do I pay you?"
"Now's alright. How many time shards do you have?"
"100."
"...Are you sure you want to do this?"
"Of course," said The Messenger, "What's the worst that can happen?"

Bale Watches
Bale had decided to send two people he hated to the Games, hoping they'll suffer for their actions, he was amused by looking at De la Cruz dying as soon as the Season started
Bale: Take that, ya murderer, I guess crime doesn't pays in the end, ha!
Mr. Godzilla: So, what do you expect of Muntz?
Bale: Nothing good at all, hopefully he'll be dead in the next update.
Mr. Godzilla: I agree with that sentiment.
With that said, Bale sat back to watch the rest of the show.
The Villains' Reactions
The villains watched as Brightburn failed to overpower the Earth's heroes as Etemon's Dark Network had allowed them to do so.
Etemon: Well, that was a disappointment, I expected more from that Superman-like thing.
Tirek: And he's gotten us exposed, great!
Professor Venomous: Fear not, as strong as those Earth heroes are, we are stronger.
Boxman: Indeed, in fact, I would like to bombard them from orbit right now!
Venomous: Boxy, if Valecor does not let us do that we aren't going anywhere.
Bill: Just go and ask him, perhaps we can try to be rid of those heroes before they began gathering other beings from the Multiverses that were pulled into their own Universe.
Utrom Shredder: And you have to be careful of not getting us all involved into your needs.
Boxman: Don't worry, I'll d so and everything shall be fine.
"Bingo! If two species hate each other, they will wipe each other out on their own."

The Database Library, Basement
6k1 just stares in disbelief at what the Databot's been doing. While she knows that its AI's not up to scratch, it still feels unsettling for her to watch her "child" fight in the Games as a murderbot. She's also concerned about Yona's temper and hopes that the Messenger could keep her feelings in check.
She reads Ichi's concerning email about the Databot and replies:
Not to worry, that's just a robot with a copy of the Database downloaded into it. I gave GC the permission to do so since I'm not stopping him from nominating those kinds of tributes, even if I do find them crazy. The real Database is safe with me, and I'll be working on the next update right now.
She then works on the Reaping for Season 15. "Oh right, I have 74 Crystal Dragons to count... At least they're all from the same world unlike those Smash Fighters..."

Night 2
First off, it was much less a straight-up pummel and more of a legnthy hookshot-cloudstep chain that spanned about half the arena.Second, yes The Messenger was hallucinating. Quite honestly, President Snow was the first human evil he had ever seen before. Poor dude didn't know how to react to it. This, of course, led to The Messenger killing Databot.
He didn't know it was a databot until there was an elaborate explosion, however, because of course.
He felt minor remorse afterwards.
"You need to get your mental health checked," Quarble commented.
"Where?"
"You're right."

Ichigo visibly winces at the sight of the Databot being fatally pulverized by the Messenger. While he knew it only looked like Power, it was still a rather difficult scene to behold, though he was admittedly relieved that neither Carnage nor Shriek had carried out the deed.
"Damn... 6k1 ain't gonna be happy about this..."
The Voidlands/Valecor's Lair
Turns out GASK was thoughtful enough to have the cameras they gave Valecor and his legion to be two-way communicators as Valecor heard the conversation of his legion. He speaks into the camera, his face showing up on the one of the screens in front of his legion.
I can hear you loud and clear thanks to these devices GASK gave us. I wouldn't worry too much about the heroes knowing where out base is, I plan on moving the base to a universe of my own I seek to make anyways to better our defenses. For now I suggest distracting the heroes for now as we learn more about them. How about attacking the Teen Titans Go universe to keep those heroes busy? Don't think you'll have much resistance there as practically everybody outside that universe dislikes that place. Don't care about the villains there, i heard they're just as pathetic as the heroes. I say just put them all out of their misery by killing them all.

The Database Library, Basement, Night 2
With all the raw data gathered, 6k1's ready for the next phase of her work — time traveling. But first, she'll call a certain mad scientist to send one of her past tributes over to clone her. She was about to dial the number when she hears a deafening explosion. She looks at the feed and sees scraps of the Databot flying everywhere.
She says nothing as she just stares at the screen. The smoke clears up to reveal an insane Messenger.
"No... Yona, be careful..."
She balls up her free hand into a fist. Who should she blame for all of this? GC for coming up with this "brilliant" idea to send her passion project to the Arena, or herself for giving him the go signal? It was like watching Power Stroke die all over again...
With nothing in her office worth punching for this, she releases her fist and goes down on her knees, with streams of tears pouring down her cheeks. She's very sure that the real Power's feeling the same way...
The Arena, Day 3
Yona was looking for the Messenger again when she's suddenly grabbed by a giant floating hand. Master Hand drops her on a railroad track and ties her on it, even binding her hooves. The yak turns her head to see three other tributes on another track, and both tracks converging into a junction up ahead. The switch is currently connected to the other one.
A trolley comes speeding down towards the junction. Yona can try to stop it with the ice powers she got last night... if she's able to escape. She tries to undo the ropes by biting on them, but the material's too tough for her teeth to break. She looks up ahead again and sees Sunny Clockwork examining the lever near the junction. She can only hope that Sunny doesn't pull it.
Instead Sunny finds another lever and pulls that one.
Yona braces herself as a huge boulder comes rolling down a mountain. Sunny and the other tributes nearby get out of the way as it makes its way into the area, landing just in front of the trolley and destroying the railroad. Yona opens her eyes and sees Sunny untying her ropes, who then does the same with the others. She gets up, staggering for a bit, and thanks Sunny for saving her before going her way.
"Rarity, are you okay? We gotta get you and your friends outta here soon!"
Det. GC's Base
Seeing the destruction of the Databot, the detective knew 6k1 is probably crushed by this. He teleports something to 6k1's basement.
This would cheer her up.
The Database Library, Basement
A projection appears on a wall in front of 6k1 as something hacks into the speakers to provide sound for it. It's a pre-made video of the detective.
Hello 6k1, if you're watching this then the database bot is dead. However as I knew that could've happened I prepared for that by setting it up so that the memories and data of the original databot would be transferred to a new robotic body upon death. It's right behind you now, so how about a welcome hug?
However, 6k1 would learn that that last question wasn't directed at her as the databot hugs her from behind. If she were to turn around she would see the new body isn't a skeletal version of Power Stroke, but a robotic version of Twilight Sparkle.

Scientist Hassel's Headquarters
The message left by Billy completely fell on deaf ears as Ribey's only concern is to experiment on magical girls and Tactical Dolls."Welcome to my headquarters, my new Ribeys."
"What... what have you done to me?! Since when did I turn into a white haired little girl?!"
"Ribey?! What Ribey?!"
"Ribey is an umbrella term for Tactical Dolls like us. Our full name is Ribeyrolles, we are the ancestors of modern day weapons. We are born to die and live again, mortality is a meaningless concept. So long as our master, Commander Hassel keeps nominating us, we will one day win, it's just a matter of time and how many times we need to die. Enjoy your stay... while you still can."
"I'm a Magical Girl Assassin, not a Tactical Doll! Now turn me back, you son of a-"
"How come I end up like this?! My name is Chisato, not your so called-"
"Keep trying. As long as your Soul Gems and your old bodies are under my control, I can do whatever I want. So please, don't ever try to anger me.
"......"
"......"
"Commander's incompetence... I will fix them all."
She then walks away casually, preparing to nominate her new test subjects as Hassel's new tributes.

Boxman was a bit disappointed, but he guessed the Teen Titans Go Universe could be enough to assault.
Boxman: Oh, well. That sounds fun, then. Who wants to come along?
Venomous: I'm glad to join in.
HIM: I'll do so as well.
Aku: Count me in.
Etemon: Wait, let me see if any of Lord Lucemon's forces want to go.
Etemon then rushed to Lucemon's Group Rooms to see if any of his superiors or fellow Nightmare Soldiers wanted to join in.
Etemon: Hey guys anyone wants to join in destroying a universe?
He did get responses.
Puppetmon: On the one hand it sounds exhausting, but I am bored, so I guess I'll go.
Leviamon: I am envious of those going, I want to destroy some things now!
Belphemon: I was sleeping, you dirty monkey, I guess I'll vent out my frustrations with that little universe.
Barbamon: As the Demon Lord of Greed I want more treasure, perhaps I could take some of the riches in that world...
Lucemon: Lilithmon and I will stay here, if anyone else wants to go, that's your choice.
Beelzemon: I have no interest in that either.
Machinedramon: That's a waste of time, I'll stay here as well.
Piedmon: Given that I want to add some people keychains to my collection and murder a few humans, I'll gladly go there.
Etemon: Now we're talking, let's go there!
With that said, Etemon and the others warped to the Main Area of the Base, in order to prepare for the attack on the Teen Titans Go! Universe

Yes, go ahead and install it.
Some scientists and workers get right to it by grabs a bunch of expensive-looking equipment and materials and warp to Valecor's lair via a portal to begin installation.
Say, how are you doing? You've been away for a few days...
A few days!? For me it's been thirty minutes here! Guess this is an after-effect of time being broken here...
Well that explains why the camera feed been turning to static occasionally...so where do you want the portal to be installed?
Put it in the back or on one of the sublevels, would be more well-defended that way.

Underground Bunker, Computer Room
Ichigo watches as Carnage faces off against a Grue, sighing when the beast ultimately overpowers the spawn of Venom and makes a meal out of him.
"At least I still have Shriek..."
Grabbing a pen and a piece of paper, he gets to writing a letter.
Dear Power Stroke, I'm sorry you had to watch that Terminator-ish pony who looked eerily like you get pulverized to death in the Arena. If there's anything I can do or maybe you just wanna talk, then please, don't hesitate to let me know. Sincerely, Ichigo.
He folds the letter, places it inside an envelope, then grabs his cane before getting up and heading to the bunker's teleporter room. Once there, he puts the letter down on the teleportation pad, sets the coordinates for Power's home, and warps it there. Considering the Databot's fate, he figured the least he could do was not bother the presumably distraught 6k1 with an email right now. After all, while it wasn't the actual Database, she still had to watch an avatar of her life's work, something that might as well have been her child, die horribly while she was helpless to do anything. He couldn't even begin to imagine how crushing that must have been for her...

6k1 feels a pair of metal hooves wrapping around her, followed by a pair of mechanical wings.
Good afternoon. My name is Databot 2.0.
The voice sounded almost exactly like Twilight's. 6k1 turns her head and sees what seems to be a robot version of the alicorn.
◊A/N It opens its aperture irises and continues looking at her.
"My child...?" asks 6k1. She immediately wraps her arms around the bot and pulls it in for a hug. She's still crying, but this time it's not out of grief.
The bot locks its eyes on her computer and scans it.
Season 15?
"Yes, I'm working on it, but first..."
6k1 takes out her phone and takes a selfie with the bot. She then sends the pic to Ichi via email attachment and Power via mail. The caption underneath reads:
I'm okay now. GC transferred the data to this new bot. Hopefully he'll let me keep it in my office; it might be of help if I can teach it how to do Database work.
She turns to the bot. "You've been through a lot, so for now I'll power you off. Can you print out your instruction manual please?"
Like the first version, the Databot prints it out from its mouth. 6k1 reads it and leads the bot to one corner of the office. She presses the power button, which is under its cutie mark, and the bot folds its wings, lies down, and closes its eyes.
She then calls GC, thanking him and asking him if she can keep it. After all, it's her "child", despite the rusty AI...
Power Stroke's House
Power's head is still spinning from watching what seems to be her robot self die. Just like 6k1, she found it unsettling, and at the same time depressing. After spending some time crying herself out, she goes outside to check her mail. She receives Ichi's letter and 6k1's pic, and goes back in and writes:
Dear Ichi,
THAT was something. I still can't imagine why GC would do such a thing, but I'm sure it was all in good fun. I'm okay now, and so is 6k1. In fact, she sent me a photo of her with the new bot. I'd attach it to this letter, but I'm sure she sent it to you, too.
By the way, did you know that in an alternate version of Equestria, Sweetie Belle's a robot? No one's supposed to tell her that, lest she become a murderbot like the Databot...
Anyway, thanks for checking in on me.
Sincerely,
Power Stroke
Her cutie mark serves as her signature in the letter. She sends it and then goes back to watching the Games.
"Good luck, Yona! I bet your classmates are cheering for you!"

Dave's Home Base
Dave watches the ongoing season with great interest as he sits near the Hands. Crazy Hand had seemed to lose control of his clone, so he had it rigged to be disposed off in a way that made even Dave chuckle in amusement.
Master Hand's clone, meanwhile, seems to be hunting down tributes to be tested in might or disposed off. It had managed to recruit Sagume, at the very least. Dave shows a slight smile. He knows how powerful Master Hand can be, and if she's capable of defeating a clone of him, then she will certainly be a useful ally. However, it seems the clone is starting to lose its sanity, which leaves Dave pondering whether or not Master Hand was acting for fun's sake.
Dave left to check on Advisor Fira. She appears to be busy attending to matters, so he decides to leave her alone, and takes a rest.
Hope: "Let's go. We'll be together." Lightning: "I only know... that soon, we'll be together."

The detective receives the call and answers it.
Yes 6k1, you can keep her. Since it's the database you can teach it to do database work, so good thing I programmed it to be a quick learner. Heh, maybe you can use it to finally take a break and go to a spa or something as the robot defends the place and updates itself for you!

Fox's Hideout
Fox watched Snow's broadcast, and was of course, disgusted. So he decided to react in two ways. He had already had a bomb planted outside of the Panem Network building,thanks to inginutit, skill, and bribes. He picked the detnator up from his desk and pushed it.
Next, he sealed several envelope. In each one, was a severed finger and a note
Leave the poor boy alone, or the next batch of fingers that go through the mail are yours
He then gave them to a messnger, who was instructed to deliver them to the other boys who appeared on future of Panem.

Underground Bunker, Computer Room
As he watches to see if Shriek might succeed where Carnage failed and pointedly ignores Snow's latest broadcast, lest he get the urge to do something rash, Ichigo receives a notification from 6k1 on his phone. He opens it to see both the selfie of 6k1 and her new Databot, as well as the latter's email.
"Ooh, that's a nifty design. Especially where the wings are concerned."
Relieved that she was faring much better now, he types up a response.
Happy to hear that you're doing better, 6k1. If GC lets you keep that pony-bot, mind if I sent you a few books/notes on AI? I couldn't help noting that its AI was/is pretty rudimentary and would likely benefit from a few updates, provided it doesn't wind up becoming a ponified Ultron in the process.
Cue one of his droids entering the room with Power's letter in hand.
"Sir, this just arrived in the letter box. I believe it's from your equestrian friend, Power Stroke.''
Ichigo accepts the letter, opens it up, and reads through it. Once he's finished, he proceeds to write one in response.
Dear Power,
GC does tend to nominate some of the Games' more... outlandish tributes, though I didn't think even he would go with something like the Database itself, considering that it's practically 6k1's baby. God, you and her must've had heart attacks whenever that bot ran into Carnage... Still, if there's one good thing to come out of all this, it's that she got a new pony-bot with a cool design, albeit one whose AI still needs a little updating. And yes, I'm aware of Sweetie Bot and the... odd universe she comes from.
On another note, I'm assuming 6k1's already told you that you're free to visit my humble abode whenever you wish. If so, then if you don't mind me asking, would... you be at all interested in coming over to watch the next season of the Games with me?
Regardless of your answer, I'm glad you're doing better and I hope to see you again soon, ya adorable, nerdy little pony.
Sincerely, Ichigo
After folding the letter and putting it in an envelope, he takes up his cane, rises from the chair, and walks off to the teleporter room, where he has his letter, well, teleported to Power's home.
