Always look before you leap through a portal.

NOTE: This is a what if story that I just had to write down.

__________

Did you ever wonder what would have happened if the special forces didn't stop that mad lunatic in the portal?

So have I, that's why I'll rewind the wheels of time to that fateful Friday on August the 16th, 1991..

__________

It was a bright Friday morning.

I had decided to leave for school a bit earlier than usual, meeting up with two other kids from my new school.

"Did you see that new show yesterday?" one of them asked.

"Yeah! It was sooo AWESOME!" the other one replied.

I was about to ask what show it was, when suddenly the air around us started buzzing and out of nowhere a big glowing.. Door of light appeared, a weird man standing on the other side, pointing something at me.

"Hahahaahahaa!! I did it! I made a portal to the past! You, young Nicholai, are about to become the vessel for my revenge!" he yelled in a slightly cracking voice.

He was scary.. The most scary person I had ever seen, I was so scared that I just fell to the ground, wetting myself.. So uncool..

"Wh.. Who.. Are you..?" I croaked.

"Oh, you don't need to think about that, hehee, actually, hehehee, you don't need to think at all! Hahahaahaaa!!" He started laughing again.

It was at this, that he raised what looked like a gun and pointed it straight at my head.

"Don't worry.. I have big plans for you.."

*BLAM!*

I felt immense pain for a moment, before I fell lifeless to the ground.

The two kids who had been with me started screaming their heads off, as the man started laughing again, before the door disappeared just as suddenly as it had showed up.

Then darkness finally claimed me, as I drifted into the black void of unconsciousness..

__________

The next thing I remember, was waking up in a white room, my mom sobbing right next to me, but for some reason, I couldn't move my body or talk.

"Mom..?" The voice came from me, but it wasn't me who said it..

"NICHOLAI! You're alive! Doctor! DOCTOR!!" She screamed.

"Yes mom, I'm alive." My face smiled.

"What's with the screaming?" A doctor said as he entered the room, but when he saw me, his jaw almost hit the floor.

"He's alive? but that should be impossible! He had a bullet hole in his head, by all rights he should be dead! This must be some sort of miracle!" The doctor yelled.

"Oh, I'm VERY much alive, doctor.." My voice said, a smug smile growing on my lips.

"Right! We will need to keep you here for the night, So that we can run some tests, it's not every day someone survives a hole in the head, after all."

"Of course, but can my mom stay as well, she did just nearly lose me, so I think she might want to stay here for the night." My voice said, feigning concern.

"That shouldn't be a problem, I'll be back later to get some blood samples, why don't you try to rest for a bit?"

"Sounds like a plan, doctor."

And so the doctor left, my mom hugged the body that no longer belonged to me and left to get us something to drink.

My body on the other hand, decided to drift off into sleep.

__________

"..."

"Where am I..?" I wondered out loud.

"So.. I see he got you after all.." Said a deep voice with a hint of sorrow.

"Who are you..?"

"I'm th-"

"Shut up, you stupid AI.. I may have built you and given you a personality, but that doesn't mean shit! You're here for me to use you and the same goes for the brat!"

"But, that kid is y-!"

"I SAID SHUT UP!"

"Why.. Why are you inside my head!?" I yelled, fear clearly in my voice.

"Oh, don't you worry about that.. When you wake up, you won't even remember any of this, not until that fateful day on October the 10th, 2010! So enjoy your remaining 19 years of freedom while you can.." The voice said, evil intent seething from his words.

"..."

At this, light suddenly flooded the darkness and I woke up, everything that had just happened seemed like a far off dream now.

__________

For a month, I continued to go back between my home and the hospital, for tests and scans, but the doctors never found anything unusual in me.

It was as if everything had been one long, bad dream..

But, it was time for me to go back to my daily life now.

And I was actually looking forward to seeing my friends again, especially Kim, who I heard was the one that found us after I got shot, and called for help.

Unfortunately, he had also seen the moment when I had received the bullet to my head and had fallen into a depression..

It wasn't long after this, that he gave up on fighting the nightmares and took his own life, leaving everyone shocked and sad.

But life goes on and time heals the wounds.

I was almost 16 now and had just finished school.

It was time to get myself an education, but something in my head stopped me from doing so, instead I got settled with a job as a cashier in the local discount store, never questioning why.

I still lived at home, so I didn't have to pay too much in rent, and because of that, I had quite a bit of money left, yet something stopped me from using it.

Even after I turned 18 and got a job as the local mailman, I still didn't stop saving up cash, it was like my brain was hardwired to do so.

This went on for another 7 years.

Just working, living and raking in cash for an unknown purpose.

Even my mom was getting worried, but thought that I was probably saving up to move out and get my own place.

But then it happened...

__________

Sunday, October the 10th. 2010.

It was a pretty normal day, nothing special had happened, like usual.

So when I finally got back home that night, I decided to head on to youtube, see what shit people had uploaded.

"What the hell.. My Little Pony..? Why would anyone even upload this shi-"

My mouth froze, and my body control left me.

"Hello, Nicholai.. It's been a while.. what, 19 years now? How have you been?"

"No.. Nononononono.. NOOO! You're supposed to be a dream! A bad dream! Why are you here!?"

"..."

"My.. So much rage~! I'm just here to claim your body, nothing else.. So if you would please shut the fuck up and go cry in a corner of your mind that I won't be using, then we can all get on with our lives... And don't even think about talking to the brat, AI!"

"... Fine.. I'll let you get on with your sick plan.."

"Thank you. And now it's time to get to work! Muahahaahahaahaaa~!!"

"Dear god.. save me..!"

__________

Over the course of the next 2 years, the insane bastard used all my savings on bits and parts for his master plan.

He didn't care to explain anything, and i was kept locked away inside my own head, only able to observe as the bastard drew closer to his goal.

Then the fateful day came.

Saturday, June the 30th, 2012

The Summer BroNYCon.

Right in the middle of the Q&A Panel with Lauren Faust, a portal appeared, and out of it stepped none other than Nicholai, with a strange device trapped to his body.

"Right then, you brony bastards.. It's time for you all to end, now, before anyone gets any stupid ideas, just know that the instant I'm attacked, or die, this device will blow up.."

The room filled with gasps and yelps of panic.

"Now, before I end you all, I guess you might want to know "Why" I'm doing this.. In this very room, is every single brony scum that changed the future to the sickening peaceful place it is.. And I don't like it! Love and tolerance, my ass!! You bronies have fucked up my life!

First my fiancé left me for a fucking brony! Then a brony backed into my car! Do you have any idea how long it took to save up for that thing!?

As if that wasn't bad enough, our fucking president was a brony! Soon, half the world leaders were bronies! And they enforced love and toleration on the entire fucking planet, making it a peaceful place with with retarded pony loving bastards!!

AND EVERY TIME SOMEONE TRIED TO SAY ANYTHING ABOUT IT, WE WERE TOLD TO LOVE AND TOLERATE!! I'LL SHOW YOU SICK FUCKS LOVE AND TOLERATION AS I BLOW EVERY HUMAN BEING ON THIS PLANET TO ATOMIC DUST!!"

"But.. But, won't that kill you as well?" A Brony asked.

"Good question, you little piece of filth! I'm not even here! I set this plan in motion 21 years ago, when I shot my past self with a DNA controlling bullet that had all my knowledge in it, that way forcing him to become my puppet and do the dirty work!"

"But, if you destroy your past, won't your future self disappear as well?" Another one said.

"Again, good question, you motherfucking pony lover! But fret not, I have developed a system that will warp me through a protected space and 500.000 years into the future, where life should have started again, and then I will finally be rid of you sick fucks.. FOREVEEER!!"

"Bu-!" One started.

"No more questions, goodbye!"

*Beep!*

__________

The crazy man took off his helmet that he had used to control his past self with and hurried over to another portal as the world around him began to fade.

"HAHAHAAHAAAAHAAHAA!! I DID IT!!" He gleefully laughed as he jumped into the portal.

He couldn't wait to see what the new future looked like, and soon after, the end of the portal appeared and he jumped right through it as it closed behind him.

He was in a little rustic looking town, in front of the town fountain.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!! MONSTER!!" A female voice boomed behind him.

He turned around to see the source of the scream, but as he did, he dropped to his knees.

"No.. NO..! NONONONONONONOOOOOOOOOO!!! NOT PONIES!! NOT FUCKING PONIES!! I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU ALL!" He roared as he got back up.

"ALL OF YOU!! I'LL KILL EVERY SINGLE O-!"

*TWACK!*

The mad man fell unconscious to the ground, as a Lavender unicorn stood behind him with a levitated club.

__________

1 Year later.

The dungeons of Canterlot.

"Hey! You filthy ape! Your grub is here!" One of the guards shouted, as he opened the door to see the mysterious ape man chained up at the end of the room.

If eyes could kill, the guard would have been dead a long time ago, but he had gotten used to the death glare and threats that the ape would give him.

"I'm only eating this filthy shit you call food, so that I can live long enough to break out of here.. And when I do, you're the first one I'll kill!" He growled.

"Yeah yeah, and I'm Princess Celestia, any other nonsense you wanna get off your chest..? No? Good, now eat your food and behave." The guard said as he turned around and left the cell, locking the door again.

"I WILL KILL YOU!! I WILL KILL EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU!!" The mad man screamed.

"Should I go shut him up?" Asked the other guard.

"Naah.. Just let him rage.. Come on, let's go get some food. I'm starving"

"Right behind you!"

And so ends the story of what could have happened.

Goodnight, and sleep tight...

The End

Authors notes:

I had so much fun writing this one.

Just going crazy with Future Nicholai was delicious~!

Also, no, I don't hate Bronies nor Ponies, otherwise I wouldn't be here. ;P

I Hope you all enjoyed this random brain fart of mine.

Chapter 3 is still under constrction, though, and I'm also working on fixing up chp. 1 and 2.
