## Plot

#### Chapter 1

The comic opens with Sunset Shimmer opening her eyes, only to be aware that she is in the stadium until Wallflower appears next to her. Given the fact that the stadium gives Wallflower a bizarre sensation, Sunset went off to find the others. All of a sudden, the whole troop are dressed up in green sportswear (including Indigo Zap, Sugarcoat, Big Mac, Micro Chips and Sandalwood) until the Mane 7 reunites with each other again. After the Mane 7 reunites, Pinkie Pie thinks that the whole troop are in an elaborate prank show, leaving a depressed Sunset Shimmer until the door opens, only to find a group of red faceless silhouettes saying that the characters (including Flash Sentry) are in a competition playing a dozen of several games in order to get a fantastic prize, leaving them dismayed. A flashback fades to Rainbow Dash receiving the letter that wins them $500 and all are agreed to participate, but Sunset denies it considering as a kidnapping case. The squared silhouette adds that the only way out is to play its games, leaving a disbelieved Applejack. Adagio adds that she is thinking about escaping, but Aria claims that the red silhouettes are about to pick them up in 15 minutes, leaving a horrified Trixie. All of a sudden, two sentences are heard that the challenge will be tough until Starlight Glimmer and Princess Twilight Sparkle showed up as well. Starlight adds that she and Princess Twilight went to sleep and ended up here. In addition, Rarity says that the red silhouettes did not fill the surveys they gave and Sunset replies that the silhouettes themselves have existed in Equestria. All of a sudden, the speakers across the stadium announces that all of the players that the games are about to begin, prompting all of the characters to proceed to the playroom.

All of the contestants are in a dark elevator going up and after leaving the elevator, they find a mysterious doll standing ahead of a tree without leaves, much to their confusion and a terrified Rainbow Dash. Once the doll welcomes the contestants to ***RED LIGHT, GREEN LIGHT***, they will move forward when the light turns green and also be eliminated when running a red light. A confused Micro Chips realized that the doll is what he used to play when he's a kid and Rainbow Dash claims it as a simple task. Nevertheless, the challenge begins. The light turns green and Rainbow Dash starts to proceed, but when the light turns red, Micro Chips bumps into her and was shot to death by a sticking gun, resulting in elimination and Sandalwood laughing at him. Sunset Shimmer warns the others not to move a muscle and remain calm that the game can end if the doll detects early. As the light turns green, Sunset advises them to remain gentle (including Vignette Valencia), but when the light turns red, Ragamuffin ignores the instruction, causing him to be shot to death and eliminated. Photo Finish cries at Rarity to continue running, prompting Rarity to do so. A terrified Fluttershy refuses to do so even when Rainbow Dash told her and will die if not moving. When the light turns red, Vignette and Photo Finish are bumped into each other, causing the duo to be shot to death, resulting in elimination.

After the light turns green, the players continue to walk gently until the light turns red again. Dirk Thistleweed, who almost fall over, was also shot to death for ignoring the instructions, resulting in elimination.
