What happens when three friends go to Comic-Con dressed as three protagonists from a game series? Four metric shit-tons of swearing and shenanigans.

If you have not beaten A Crack In Time, then don't read this 'till you do. MAJOR spoilers in the story. With that said, I would LOVE to engage in a conversation with your thoughts on the game if you HAVE beaten it. So, just gimme a message, and I will gladly debate/agree with you on the subject!

HOT DAMN!!!

"Bwuh... What happened?" I asked. Jeez, I've never seen something that bright before... At least I am regaining some form of clarity...

"Christ, my head..." Hang the FUCK on... That sounded like... Azimuth?

"Why the hell did we listen to Nefarious anyways? Even if he was just a cosplayer, he was still a dick. Who makes exploding Zoni, anyway?" Talwyn? What the hell going on here?!

"Guys, what the fuck... just... happened?" I sound like Ratchet? What the blueberry fuck...?

I opened my eyes. What I saw scared the hell out of me.

"Are you... rea-"

"No. We were at Comic-Con, but now..."

Wait... Zardy and Julia and I are all characters from our favorite videogame series? I finally figured out how to use my mouth.

"What the hell is WRONG with you?! We should be out exploring! We have all the powers that they do if I'm not mistaken, because we ARE THEM!!! I don't know about you, but the only thing that could make this better is PONIES!"

Julia- Sorry, Talwyn looked at the ground. "About that... We kinda crashed the Aphelion into Daycourt, and are being hunted by Celly, Lu-Lu, and a shitload of guards, as well as Twi and her brother."

"You're shitting me. After all this time, we get what we always wanted, but YOU GO AND FUCK IT UP!!! I cannot even FACEGROUND hard enough to display my anger at you stupidity. Really, you should have let Clank fly the ship. I mean, how fucking stupid can you be?! It's like you TRIED to fuck this up. But, we have more important things to worry about."

"What the hell are you talking about?!" Yelled Azimuth. "What could be worse tha-"

I cut him off right there.

"You know what IS worse? Nefarious. If we made it through, it is safe to assume he did to. If he did, then this entire universe is fucked. Remember from "A Crack in Time", where he was planning on blowing up the universe to get us? If there is a Great Clock in this universe, do you know what he could do? Remember what Azimuth did? He almost blew up the universe by pulling a LEVER. If Nefarious finds it, he could overpower them easily. Remember the Hypersonic Brainwave Scrambler? That is the tip of the iceberg. With a human's imagination, and Nefarious' mindset, do you know what would happen to this world? And the worlds beyond? Yeah, now tell me how Sunbutt and Moonbutt are worse."

"Christ, we are fucked."

You know, it's not as hard as I thought it would be to make the Nicolas Cage Face with a Lombax body.

"You don't say? Now how would we have gotten by without that wonderful piece of wisdom? I JUST TOLD YOU, CAPTAIN OBLIVIOUS!" Jeez, you would think that they would get some semblance of intelligence from the switch, but nooo, they're as dumb as rocks.

"Okay, what weapons do we have that won't harm the ponies, but make it where they won't attack us?"

"The Groovitron and the Cryobomb."

Great. We make them faint with Twilight's awful dancing skills.

"Fan-FUCKING-tastic. We can't kill them; that would have to wait for the real villians. Also, do we have ammo?"

"We noticed that like in the game, it and Nanotech were scattered around. Very easy to find."

"Great. Now let's go meet some diarchs!"

Preparations...

Next Day, The Royal Daycourt...

"Princess, I propose to add something to the bleak and dreary roads of this prestigious city. If we add little hedges and new roads, our shining city will lo-"

A very loud BOOM resonated throughout the room as a metal thing blasted through one wall, and landed in front of her. As the thing hissed, the glass compartment opened, revealing a smirking creature. As he jumped off of the vehicle, he turned to the pony who made the suggestion of making the streets better and said, "Sorry to burst your bubble, but number one, that money is going to that hole right there." He pointed behind him. "As for two, Celly and I need to have a heart to heart."

As he finished, he heard the sound of Guard closing in on him. Though, he did not react. They encompassed him in a circle, yet he did not move. Then, when they pounced, something happened. A white ball was shot into the air, and the ponies around it gained an uncontrollable urge to dance. As they were dancing, the strange creature from earlier appeared through the crowd.

Now, Celestia was confused. Her Guards had attacked him, and... they danced?

"Tia! How's it going, huh? You see, I'm in a bit of a pickle. My friends were flying my ship while I took a nap, crashing through the first Daycourt. This time, I just wanted to make an entrance. Also, I have a proposition for you. You will have to wait for a time, depending on when I am.

Now she was even MORE confused. That creature could not possibly-

"Travel in time? Yeah, by the look on your face, that's what you were thinking. You see, I am... an anomaly, for lack of a better term. My friends and I are stuck here by no choice of our own. In our universe, there is a Great Clock in the center of the universe (Give or take fifty feet.), and it the most powerful thing in it. Heh, Azimuth almost blew up the universe with the press of a button. BUT, train of thought back on track, a villain from our world could have very well made it to this one. Now, in our universe, he was content with blowing each and every world to kingdom come, just to kill us. But, we stopped him at every turn. Now, there is a chance he can harness magic, though I am not certain if this is fact. Now, Tia, I give you the proposal to let me protect this world, as well as experiment on all TWELVE Elements. There are secrets even you could not begin to perceive. Now, I must be off. Tah!"

With the strange creature gone, Celestia started to think...

Thinkity Think Thinky Dink

After the creature left, Celestia's posture, grace, attitude, as well as her mental and physical facade flew out the window, not dissimilar to the actions of the strange creature. A guard calling her snapped her out of her reverie.

"Princess, shall I send an order to capture the thing?" His voice suggested that his professionalism had flown out the same window hers did.

After a moment or twenty of thought, her mouth created the most appropriate response known to any sentient kind.

"Bwah...? No. Just... Ugh..."

She was actually conflicted on whether the creature's intentions were pure, but he did incapacitate her guards... By dancing. It hurt nothing but their pride, so she saw no reasoning from that point of view. BUT, he did blow not just one, but TWO holes in her magnificent castle. Which was completely fine, as she wanted to redecorate anyway. Still... What was that thing?

Guys, I am SO sorry...

I am putting this on indefinite hiatus until HAP gets AT LEAST 20000 words under its belt. I feel bad for it, but it must be done. If you want to take it, please go right ahead. It would make me feel like less of a dick.

Testing... 1, 2, 3... This is the Author speaking...

Hi, guys. Now, I know that I am an awful writer. I know this for a fact. BUT, nobody else had thought of doing this, so being the dumbass I am, I decided to do it. I know you will hate, but, really. Why should I care? You're just assholes that need attention. But guess what? You won't get any from me. So, with that said, enjoy the story if you can!

Damn Zoni... (Prologue)

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be Ratchet? Me neither. Yet...

Rewind Three Days...

"Dude, hurry up! Comic-Con starts in one hour!" yelled Azardimus. He was really impatient this year.

"Damnit, 'Zardy! I'm trying! You try getting the best game character ever perfect!" I screamed back. Damn, can't a guy get any peace? It's like he's TRYING to be an ass...

"Smith, you either HURRY UP, or my ass is coming up there to kick YOUR ASS!!!" Christ, Julia can be loud when she wants to...

"YOU TRY GETTING THIS PERFECT!!! SHUDDUP!!!" Heh... Hook, line...

"I GOT MINE DONE IN FIVE MINUTES!"

"AND YOURS IS A PIECE OF SHIT!!!" Aaaaand sinker!

ONE HOUR LATER...

When we walked in, there was cheering. I mean, it's not everyday you see a life-like Talwyn Apogee, Alister Azimuth, and Ratchet. After winning each Cosplay contest, we were eating a popsicle shaped like a certain green Babylon Rouge, we heard a someone say, "Psst! Hey, kids! C'mere!" After looking around, we saw a man that looked and sounded so much like Dr. Nefarious, it was scary.

"Your outfits aren't complete, you know. You are missing one crucial item."

Now, as you can imagine, we were pissed beyond belief. It had taken months to get the base done, and several more weeks for the finer points of the costumes.

"What the hell do you mean?! We have every weapon, gadget... Hell, even my car looks like the Aphelion!!"

"You're missing Zoni. Two of you are from one game, where they roam free until you catch them. Yet, you have none. I can sell you some; three for five dollars. They even float! Waddya say, huh?"

It couldn't hurt... What's the worst that could happen?

FAMOUS. LAST. WORDS!
