Crisis on Two Equestrias Pt. 3 Two Pinkies and Two Twilights

After Mal, Discord and the others finally got out Twilight found Pinkie Pie running around.

"Pinkie what is it?" Twilight asked.

"I'm looking for Discord." She said. A pop came as (S) Discord popped into reality.

"What do you need?" He asked.

"Twilight have you found the..." Another Pinkie Pie was seen coming down the hall. The (D) Pinkie looked at the other.

"Oh, I messed up." This Pinkie Pie said.

"Wait, are you from the other universe?" Twilight asked.

"Yes I am, I'm looking for my Discord." Twilight shot up.

"Well he just left with the creature of death."

"Oh Mal, you found him? That's not important I need to find my Luna’s stallionfriend and my half daddy." This Pinkie summoned a hat from nowhere. "Discord I'm coming." She then jumped out a window and somehow landed unfazed on the ground.

"Wait, did she just say half daddy?" Twilight, said, her eye twitching.

"Did she say Luna's stallionfriend?" Celestia asked, her own eye twitching.

"Oh yeah, the creature did mention something about that before." (S) Discord answered snapping his talons in remembrance.

"Hey Twilight, didn't that Pinkie seem awfully calm about that death thing running around?" The other Pinkie asked. Twilight snapped out of her confusion and thought for a moment.

"You're right Pinkie, she did. And she called him by a nickname. Something about this doesn't seem right. What do you think Princess Celestia?" Celestia didn't answer, instead she mumbled something about chocolate rain and chaotic fillies. "Umm, what do you think, Princess Luna?" Twilight asked.

Luna was just as confused as everyone. "Honestly I think we do not know enough about this other universe. In fact, it’s possible we could be on the wrong side, or that concepts like good and evil may not even exist for them." Luna finished. Hoping that sounded reasonable.

"Okay, so what do you think we should do?" Twilight asked.

"For right now, we should help my sister calm down. I think hearing that there's a version of me out there that is courting Discord was a little too much for her to process. After that, like my sister said, we should have our scouts find this Mal and the others with him, and from there. We should monitor them and see what they do. If they are the threat we think they are then we shall pool our strength and eliminate them. If not, then I'm sure we'll think of something."

--------------------The group ran to find the souls which had somehow escaped from them.

"Ok so let's recap, we go to Discord’s party, a power surge let two souls go, another surge sends me to another universe, I met this dimension’s Sparky and friends who were hostile to me, then I met this reality’s Discord and during a fight my Discord came falling though, then came you four." Mal said before another voice was heard.

"Don't forget me!" (D) Pinkie Pie said.

"And now Pinkie's here." Mal said with a sigh. "Does anyone else want to randomly show up?" Mal shouted at the sky. "How about Sunset and the others? Or how about our Celestia and Luna? Solar could always try to kill her too." Mal finally finished, slumping over.

"What's wrong with Mal?" Pinkie whispered to (G) Discord.

"I think it's been a long day for Mal. He should be fine once we find those two souls."

"Which two souls escaped anyway?" Aria asked.

"I don't know. I didn't get a chance to ask him yet." (G) Discord pondered. "Mal, which two souls escaped?" Discord asked, walking up to Mal.

"The two souls that I honestly wished I'd never met. The two souls I hate the most, Celestia and Luna's parents." Mal groaned.

Solar’s eyes twitched. "We have to find them." Solar said. Everyone turned to her. Solar sighed. "There’s a mental block on Celestia’s mind, she was old enough to form memories..... My parents are monsters, they had already planned to kill all non-ponies alive then wipe away the lesser beings who they ruled. Not to say they were good parents either, they were monsters at that as well, they hit Celestia and neglected Luna as well as executed anyone that failed them losing about what happened and I'm thinking they may have done even more horrible things."

"And now I wish they had physical bodies so I could rip off their limbs and shove them in every orifice I can find!" Mal growled, pulling out his sickles. The others nodded at Mal's statement. "Okay, Discord, do have any way that you could track them down?"

"I'm not sure, tracking down free floating souls is not something I normally do. But I can try."

"Good," Mal said with a nod. "I'll see if I can try to find them on my end. We need to hurry, if those two possess a body there's no telling what kind of havoc they could cause. Since those two are racist I'm guessing they'll only want alicorn bodies. That narrows our search down. Since they've left Celestia, Luna, and Sparky alone so far, that leaves us with Princess Cadance. Discord, would you please teleport us to the Crystal Empire?"

Discord nodded with a snap they were gone.

-----------Twilight was heading back to Ponyville to help with the reconstruction. Once again the same rip opened up. "Oh what is it this time?" She asked. Coming out was herself. The Twilight from the rip looked at the other Twilight. They both blinked and mirrored each other’s movements.

"So you’re from another universe?" They both asked each other.

"Fascinating," They said in unison again. "Maybe only one of us should ask questions to avoid confusion." They said, again in unison.

"I'll let you go first, you are the visitor here." The Twilight of this universe said.

"Thank you. I was wondering if you've seen an odd group in this universe recently? One's a large, cloak wearing being, four are odd females, one's my version of Pinkie, and the last is my version of Discord."

"Yes, I have seen them recently. They disappeared after drawing all over my face with a marker." The first Twilight grumbled. The other placed a hoof over her face and shook her head. "Yeah, that sounds like something Malthael and Discord would do. So do you know where they went?"

"Before I do I have two questions, one how are you all coming here?" (R) Twilight asked. (M) Twilight sighed.

"Everyone’s stuck in Discord’s dimension with the only way out being through this giant eyeball and the wormhole has this fissure from when Discord tried to send Malthael a message.... After he traveled across universes." (M) Twilight spoke under her breath about how Sunset was starting to get too worried.

"A giant eyeball? Discord’s own dimension?" (R) Twilight asked.

"Oh yeah, Discord took his people's homeland with him into an uninhabited dimension to help preserve his people's culture, or because he's Discord. It's really hard to tell with him sometimes.”

"His people? I've never heard anything about that before." (R) Twilight stated.

"Unfortunately it's not a happy story, and is a dark part of pony history. A part I have no intentions of repeating. So, what's your other question?" (M) Twilight asked.

"Yeah, Malthael the death creature.... I'm at a loss, what's going on? Is he good, bad or… other?" (R) Twilight asked. (M) Twilight had a look of confusion of her own.

"Well honestly I have to say he’s mostly good but how he does things and some of the things he does is questionable but I'm starting to think the world’s a lot more complex than the whole good, evil thing. So far, he has stopped the invasion of a group of islands, removed Nightmare Moon from Luna and somehow changed her, removed Solar Flare from Celestia… and I'm guessing you met her? Trust me if you don't get her angry she’s ok..... Sadly she has a temper so short that it’s almost impossible not to upset her, he did hijack my spell and never told me his plans to help the sirens, actually I'm starting to think he’s a near genius but you wouldn't know it.... Oh finally, when Demise took 12 alicorn level magic he was the only one to rush at him.... Granted he failed at really doing anything, but everyone else was willing to give up.... Until Discord tricked Demise into absorbing the Elements and caused him to explode with the rainbow power.... Oh and he finally hopefully got rid of Sombra’s soul stone, and is now a king."

"Wait a minute, I have a lot of questions about that, so I'm going to take it one at a time." (R) Twilight said. "How did he help the sirens?"

"Apparently he made it so they could feed on conflicts they resolve now."

"That's clever. Also, who's Demise?"

"A fusion of Sombra and the Lord General from Prance, he absorbed all of the alicorn magic in Equestria. Giving him the strength of around 10-12 alicorns."

"But, there aren't that many alicorns in Equestria."

"Well there is in my version. Remember, Malthael did remove the dark parts of Celestia and Luna. Not to mention the others in his group."

"I don't think I want to know. Now, what did you mean by Discord using rainbow power?"

(M) Twilight blinked. "Demise attempted to use the Elements on Discord.... Before you ask his cult pretty much stole my connection to them to help with that, anyway after my Discord countered the Elements’ powers with his own, Demise thought to turn the conflict in his favor by absorbing the Elements’ so that with the magic he had and there he could surpass him in power, these weird vines entangled him, he also after Demise’s defeat told me he had them attached to the Tree of Harmony..... Honestly I saw him take Spike into space and dragged space rocks though wormholes so I didn't care he did, asked five ponies a favor got their keys and took his out somehow he knew a way to unleash the rainbow power and let it explode within demise destroying him..... Save Sombra’s horn which held his soul something that Malthael couldn't take so they both simply dropped him into an uninhabited dimension till the end of time."

"That doesn't make sense. In this world the girls and I have access to the rainbowfied power. We used it to stop Tirek."

"Who's Tirek?" (M) Twilight asked.

"He was an ancient evil that was imprisoned in Tartarus. He escaped and nearly stole all pony magic in Equestria."

"That's probably why I haven't heard of him. Malthael was imprisoned in Tartarus and apparently he killed everything that was in it."

"He was imprisoned in Tartarus? Are you sure he's good?"

"He says that he was falsely imprisoned by ponies that hated him because of how different he was."

"That brings me to my next point. If he's good, then why did he try to kill me and my friends?"

"Well, what happened when he first got here?"

(R) Twilight started to remember. Ponyville was evacuated and he honestly looked confused. "We attacked him with the rainbow power." (R). Twilight said feeling kinda dumb. (M) Twilight sighed.

"To tell you the truth, I'm still have a buzzing in my ear and a bit of a head ache form the travel, that was not during a surge, he traveled during a surge, most likely his head was hurting from the event and you fired bright lights at him, he most likely let his instincts take control or like he was when he woke up in Tartarus after sleeping for over a thousand years, he was not fully there." (M) Twilight finished.

"Wait he was asleep for over a thousand years?" (R) Twilight asked.

"He was actually unable to dream at all so that was basically a thousand years of nothing."

"Okay, so we may have jumped to conclusions. If we find him I may have to apologize."

"Don't worry about it too much. Malthael can be intimidating before you get to know him. And once you get to know him he's about as confounding as Pinkie Pie." (M) Twilight said with a chuckle.

"That bad huh?" (R) Twilight asked.

"There's a reason why he's Discord's best friend. Listen, I'd love to be able to stay and talk some more but I need to find Malthael, Pinkie Pie, and Discord before the three of them do anything too crazy. Do you know where they went off to?" (M) Twilight asked.

(R) Twilight tried to come up with an answer as she shook her head. "One moment it’s high noon for us then it’s suddenly night, and everyone there had marker marks on them." (R) Twilight said.

(M) Twilight sighed. "Discord must have stopped time on everyone there, so it’s safe to assume that."

(R) Twilight said, "As for your Pinkie Pie after she revealed that your Discord was her half father and your Luna’s stallion friend we had to help her then she just disappeared.... Tell me, is she really his half-daughter?"

"Apparently, in our world Pinkie's parents used to be involved in Discord's cult and Pinkie's mother took part in a ritual that infused unborn Pinkie with some of Discord's essence. So, technically Discord is her half-father." (M) Twilight explained. "That's actually how she's able to do half the things she does."

"I wonder, if our Pinkie is Discord's half-daughter." (R) Twilight wondered.

"Maybe, but a lot of things are different so the reason behind Pinkie's abilities might be different too." (M) Twilight considered.

"Heh, yeah, it was just nice to finally have an explanation for Pinkie Pie.” (R) Twilight said with a chuckle.

"Alright, I really need to go find those three before they do something crazy. Solar and the Sirens may not be enough to keep them in check."
