"Discord, I'm howling at the moon and sleeping in the middle of a summer afternoon. Discord what ever did we do make you take our world away." I sang along with my music. I was sitting on the front porch of my new home scrubbing my helmet. A mare was staring at me from the street. Probably because I didn't have a shirt on. I looked up at her and she turned away embarrassed with a red blush on her face. I brushed my hair out of my face to see Doctor Whooves walking towards the porch.
"Hey, Doc." I said, looking up from my helmet.
"Suit up, we have important business." he said.
"What is it?" I asked.
"A universe has run haywire. I need you guys to neutralize it." Doctor Whooves said, "Meet my by the edge of the Everfree." I nodded and went inside. I put on my shirt and sweatshirt quickly. I didn't feel the need to put on my Kevlar jumpsuit, it's not like a ponies going to be running at me with a gun anytime soon. I threw my chest plate over my sweatshirt and I clipped my sword to a belt loop in my pants. They started to fall down due to the weight. They were already saggy enough without the extra weight of the heavy sword. I looked around for something to use as a belt. I went to the basement and found some old rope. I put it through the loops and tide it.
"Like a boss" I murmured to myself. I walked up the stairs and out the back door. I slide my helmet over my head as I hopped the fence. Instead of taking the regular road, this shortcut would get me there faster.

I met up with Crashie and Mark at the edge of the forest. Crashie was leaning against the door of the Tardis. I've only seen one episode of Doctor Who so I didn't know much about it, only that is practically indestructible. The door opened, and the Doctor motioned for use to come inside. We all took a seat on the couch in front of the large terminal. Doctor Whooves hit some buttons and the Tardis made its iconic teleporting sound.
"Alright," he said turning to us, "The universe we're going to travel to has to be neutralized."
"Why?" Mark asked in a dry voice.
"Because this universe started out as thousands of different universes which all collided together. The only way to fix this is to kill everyone in the universe. By doing this it resets everything" the Doc answered like it made perfect sense.
"What universe are we going to?" I asked.
"What do you humans call it… clop fiction I do believe." he said. My eye started twitching, which only happens for two reasons. If I have a very violent thought, or a bad flashback. This was the second one. I looked over at Mark.
"What?" he asked.
"You know." I said smugly.
"Wha… OHH," he started laughing, "that. That was hilarious." Crashie and The Doc were just staring at us.
"What?" Crashie asked after me and Mark were done laughing.
"I never told you, Mark was in his own clopfic." I said.
"WHAT?!?" both The Doc and Crashie said.
"Yeah, it was about Mark and his friend A Large Pie double-teaming Fluttershy. A Large Pie read it in a party on Xbox. It was priceless." I said starting to laugh again. I stopped laughing and got serious. I started making a mental checklist of what I was going to do once we get their. The Doc walked over to the door and we followed.
"Now remember, kill everyone. Leave no survivors." He said in a serious tone. As soon as the doors opened up Crashie took a knee and fired his duel buster cannon, leveling four housed. I patted him on the back and stepped out of the door. I started running, increasing my speed until I was in a full sprint. I didn't give them time to ask where I was going. I ran into the Sweet Apple Acres orchard. Weaving in and out of trees. I could see Fluttershy ahead. I just jumped over her. She let out a scream and ran deeper into the orchard. I just kept running . I saw a clearing ahead with a large apple tree in the center. I drew my sword and wielded it backhanded. I used my momentum to drag the sword through the truck of the tree. I slide to a halt, sending dried leaves flying into the air. I turned back and watched as the tree fall over. I walked up to it and examined the trunk. A sanded nub of a branch was at knee height. I severed it and snapped it in half. I through each piece in an opposite direction, and resumed running. I ran until I reached the old barn. I walk up to the cellar door.
"APPLEJA…" I her someone scream. I flung the doors open and jumped down the stairs. Big Macintosh was holding Applebloom by the throat with a knife in his other hoof. I ran up and body checked him into a wall. I freed Applebloom along with Sweetiebelle and Scootaloo.
"Wait for me outside." I said to them. Big Mac was just recovering from the hit. I lifted him up and pinned his arm to the wall with the knife. Their was another knife on a stack of boxes, which I used to pin his other arm to the wall.
"So, Mr. Macintosh, do you fell like a big man, trying to rape little girls?" I asked. He just started to cry quietly.
"Answer me, god damn it!" I yelled. I grabbed him by his ears, brought my head back, and slammed it into his snout. He spit out a tooth and said,
"No, I-I just wanted some piece and quiet."
"Well, you'll have a lot of that when your dead." I said. I drew my sword and placed the blade on his side, just above his hip. Then, very slowly, I dragged it across his torso. He let out a scream of pain. I stopped when his lower half was only holding on by a thread. I grabbed in an pulled. His hip ripped away and fell limp to the floor. Blood poured from the wound. I took my helmet of and placed it on the stack of boxes.
"You see this face?" I said. He nodded,
"Good, because it's the last thing you'll ever see." I shoved my hands into his eye sockets and pulled out his eyes. I dropped them and put my thumbs in the holes where they used to be. I pulled as hard as I could. His skull and spinal column ripped from his body. I felt pride and adrenaline coarse though my veins. I let out a roar. I ripped the knifes form the corpse's arms and watch as it slide to the floor. I slide the spine through a belt loop and sat on the floor. I looked around at what I had just done. I kinda made me sick. I stood up and grabbed my helmet. It was stained with blood. All I could thinking about was having to clean it again. I tried to wipe the blood, which just made it worst because my glove was also stained with blood. I just slid it onto my head and walked out of the cellar.
"…and if you follow me, The Great and Powerful Trixie, I can help you get your cutie marks." is all I heard when I emerged.
"Really!" Scootaloo said in excitement.
"Come on lets… OH DEAR GODESS!" Trixie screamed as I came into her line of sight.
"May I have a word with you in private, Miss Trixie?" I said calmly.
"O-of coarse." she said shakily. We walked around the corner of the barn. She put her hooves against the wall and lifted her tail, giving me a full view of her nether regions.
"What are you doing?" I asked, trying to drag my eyes away from he flanks.
"That isn't what you wanted to see me in private for?" she asked. I face palmed,
"No, I wanted to talked to you about your contract with Rarity." I said.
"What contract?" she asked, shifting she eyes from side to side. I got down on one knee so that I was eye level with her.
"Don't play dumb Miss Trixie." I deadpanned.
"Oh yes that contract. What about it?" she asked.
"I'll pay you double if you go and kill Rarity." I lied. Her eyes widened and she ran off towards Carousel Boutique. I walked back to the crusaders.
"Where's Trixie?" Sweetiebelle asked.
"She needed to run an errand." I said. I kneeled next to Scootaloo. I'm no Velvet Remedy, but I could tell her wing was broken. Seeing that made me stop regretting what I did to Big Macintosh. I looked into her eyes. I can't believe I'm about to do this but, as the meme goes, my heart exploded… twice. The look in her eyes was a mix of pain, sadness, and hope. A high pitched sound came from my throat. I put my hand over my mouth.
"Did I just squee?" I muttered to myself. I shock my head and came back to reality. I stood up and watched as the sun started to descend below the horizon.
"Follow me." I said to the group. Together we walked back to the treehouse I saw on my way into the orchard. I ducked under the low door frame and stepped in. the floorboards creaked under my wait. I sat against the tree in the center of the small room.
"Who are you?" Applebloom asked in her adorable southern accent.
"Lets just say I'm your guardian angel." I said, talking off my armor. I could tell that they were tired all three of them were yawning.
"Why don't you get some sleep." I suggested. They all just nodded and huddled together. I took of my sweatshirt and laid it over them.
"Hush now, quiet now. Its time to lay your sleepy heads. Hush now, quiet now. It's time to go to bed." I whispered. I laid on my side and fell asleep.

My vision was gritty. Like I was in a horror film. I was running though the streets of Canterlot, of at least someone was. I had no control over what I was doing. The buildings were on fire. Dead bodies of ponies filled the streets. What the hell happened? The person I was in was running toward the castle. He barged through the double doors of the main hall. Dead bodies of the royal guard were thrown about the room. All brutally murder. It seemed that either they were dismembered or disemboweled… or both.
"I gotta find the princesses." the person I was said to himself. He ran through the hall, jumping over the bodies. He ran to the dining hall. At the head of the table Luna was sitting in the chair. I large sword through her chest, pinning her to the chair. In front of her sat a covered plate. He lifted the covering. On the plate was Princess Cadence's head. I could fell tears start rolling down the man's face. He went to Celestia's chambers. Her could her cry from the other side of the door, which gave him hope that he could still save her. He opened the door to find Celestia hocked to a machine that was slowly pulling her apart.
"I love you." was the last thing Celestia said before her limbs were ripped from her torso. The man just fell to his knees and started to weep. Then a sharp pain shot through his side. He looked down and saw that a horn was piercing through his ribs. The horn was missing several chunks.
"Chrysalis." he said. He started to laugh, but it turned into a violent cough. Then, everything went black.

Chapter 3: Clop 'Til You Drop

I awoke in the treehouse. The crusaders were all laying onto of me, still asleep. that brought a smile to my face. I laid their and thought about the dream I just had. Was this what was going on back home? I wanted to get back to my Equestria as fast as possible. The crusaders and I walked back into Ponyville, or at least what was left of it. At least half the houses in town were destroyed. it's a wonder how we didn't hear this going on. The Doc's voice cracked over the radio,
"Their's only 3 ponies left. Cooper, do you have any idea where they could be?" I looked down at the three fillies following me.
"Yeah… their with me. I'm coming to you right now." I replied, a hint of sadness in my voice. We walked back to where the Doc was waiting, Mark was with him.
"Stay here." I said to the crusader. They all nodded and I walked over to the Doc and Mark.
"Why aren't they dead?" Asked the Doc.
"I'm not going to kill them." I answered.
"Mark…" The Doc said. Mark nodded then looked at me. I understood. I walked back the crusaders. I knelt down and said,
"You're going to go with my friend Mark. He's going to…" I paused trying to find the right word. "Help you." I gave them all a big hug and motioned for Mark to come over. He took them into a near-by alleyway. I leaned against a wall of one of the houses Crashie destroyed. As the first shot went off I was struggling to hold back tears. After the second shot I was sitting against the wall with my face in my hands. By the time the third shot went of I was full out crying. Mark walled out of the alley. I could tell he was also crying under his helmet. We both just silently walked back to the Tardis.
"Wasn't that fun?" Crashie said as we walked passed him. I just flipped him off and sat down.
"I'm-I'm sorry." The Doc said.
"Just shut up." I replied, "When we get back, drop me off at Canterlot."
"Why?" The Doc asked.
"Just do it." I said.

After checking on Canterlot to make sure it wasn't like it was in my dream, I took the Five hour walk back to Ponyville. It was night-time by the time I got back. I decided I was going to sleep in the apple orchard for the night. I started walking into the orchard when I saw the light of the treehouse. I walked over and peaked in the window. I saw the Cutie Mark Crusaders.Tears of happiness formed in my eyes as all the sadness in my heart just floated away. I feel asleep laying against a near-by tree. I will never let anything harm those girls.
