Universal Collapse

"C'mon girls! We're almost free!" Twilight yelled at her friends, as they made their escape from Discord's prison, which was now imploding. They were all injured, after the turmoil they had all survived, it would be a waste of a life if they all died now. Discord, he was finally dead. After years of making Twilight feel alone, and almost all looked bleak, she had recieved an emergency radio broadcast from the holder of Honesty. Her hopes raised as she galloped to 'Chaos Castle,' then she found herself in Discord and Chrysalis' trap. But, something strange happened, The Elements of Harmony appeared out of nowhere, so by instinct, she and her friends, once she'd released them, used the elements and defeated the duo of evil. But now? They were galloping away from something worse. Much, much worse. The whole area around them seemed to be distorting, and was peeling like paint on a wall.

"YES! FINALLY! FREEDOM!!" Rainbow Dash burst through the opening at the end of the tunnel, followed by the rest of them.

"Yes! HAHA! It's over... All of it." Twilight sighed, she looked around, but things were still distorting. She looked to the right, and instantly her gaze fixed on a hooded pony. The hood was black, and covered his face almost entirely. It was tattered and many rips were around the edge.

"Twilight what is it..." Applejack looked at Twilight, and then to where the unicorn was staring, she too, became scared. Eventually, the rest of them cottoned on, and simply stared at the figure.

"Three storms come. The fall of reality." The pony moved forward.

"W-who are you?!" Twilight stepped foward, scared as she was, she still managed to act brave.

"Prisoner X199, Find him, when you do, tell him what I've told you. Good luck." The figure vanished into the breeze, leaving the mares shocked.

"W-Well... you heard the pony. Looks like we're going back in..."

"Well. That was interesting." Frost laid down on the bed, staring at the sleeping Rainbow Dash. She was peaceful, and considering the fact they'd just been thrown out of a five-star restraunt, she was sleeping well. His legs still hurt slightly after the long grueling days in the woods, but that was expected. But, he felt something else. Something that made him shiver. Though, another thing made him feel worse.

Everything had frozen.

"D-Dash?" No response. Frost got off the bed. Looking around the room searching for any evidence of 'life.'

"It's time Frost." A hooded figure walked through a wall, causing it to ripple, like a rock penetrating the surface of water.

"N-No. Not now!" Frost's eyes grew, and he stepped forward, so he was face-to-face with the pony. "I can't be! It's to early!"

"I'm afraid so." The hooded figure, now no longer hooded stepped back. "The Tri-Universes are collapsing. You know what that means."

"Three storms come. The fall of reality." The two said it in complete unison. A tear fell from Frost's eye, as he looked at Rainbow Dash. He muttered something, but the pony could not hear it.

"I'm so... so sorry. Let's go. We need to finish the round-up." Frost and the pony dissipitated in a gust of wind.

"Ugh..." Frost limped away from the Royal Fliers Stadium, the fire was roaring behind him, and the guilt was pulling him down, the death of so many innocent ponies... including his friend, Jet Wing. Why did he have to stop me!? I would've ended it all right there!! Everything started to blur, and the colt thought it was his final moments, his death. The scenery around him was blacking out, but he felt no different. Eventually, the whole area was black and he stood face-to-face with a hooded pony.

"Frost Storm. The colt who ran from his past." The hooded figure let out an un-easy chuckle.

"W-Wh-Who are you?" Frost tried to run, but his hooves felt like lead. He tried to scream, but his throat was on fire.

"Hehe... Questions must wait. Please, follow me. The time has come for you to meet your destiny." Frost didn't know why, but the figure's voice sounded... calm. The two stepped into a bright light, and vanished.

"Well, here we are girls." The six mares stood in a dark corridor, just infront of a large metal door. It had a plaque, and it read X199.

"In we go..." Twilight pushed through the door, and stepped into another dark room. The only visible thing was a pony, a hooded pony. "Um, Prisoner X199? Is that you?"

"Yeah, that's me." The figure looked up, but not so any of the mares could see his face. Twilight thought for a minute. What exactly was I supposed to tell him? Oh yeah! 'Three storms come, the fall of reality.'

"Uh. Three storms come. The fall of reality." Twilight saw the figures ears perk up, he was interested.

"Universal collapse, all time ends. Darkness forever reigns." The figure lets out a small chuckle.

"What does that mean though!?" Twilight was now getting impatient. She did not want to come back in here, no matter how much she wanted to leave now, she had to stay.

"It means I've got some work to do." The figure stood up and pointed to another one of those posters, the letters now became clear. FROST STORM. That was the name, and at that moment, the figure pulled down his hood.

"W-What!?" The mares shouted in complete unison. "I-It's you! Your... Frost!" Frost let out a small grin. He grabbed a collar with a device strapped to it, he then clipped it around his neck.

"I have to find some... 'friends.' Whatever you do, do NOT try to stop the distortion. Wait until I get back." He flicks his hood on once more and presses a button on the device. "First stop, half an hour ago!" He vanishes in a bright light, leaving the mares dumbfounded.

"He looks so familliar." Dash scratched her chin, and looked at Twilight. Something was really mind-boggling about him.

"How so Dash?" Twilight turned her head, now looking at the mare.

"I don't know... it's like we've met before." The pegasus sniffed.

"Dash, why are you crying?"

"I-I just... I just remembered an old friend of mine. Sky Dive her name was. Gave her life to save me."

"Oh, my I'm so sorry Rainbow Dash. I remember Sky." Fluttershy moved closer to the rainbow maned mare, trying to comfort her. All they could do now... is wait.

Three storms come, the fall of reality. Universal collapse, all time ends. Darkness forever reigns.

Chamber of Dimensions

"Eugh... Who? Where?" Frost sat up. The last thing he remembered was walking thorugh that bright light with that cloaked guy, then.... nothing. He found himself in a large octagonal room, the walls were shining with blues, greens, and reds. It was almost like pure energy flowing through the damned walls. On the floor, was a white triangle, the points of which matched a different colour flowing through the wall. for instance, the point infront of him was blue, the point to the left was green, and the point to the right was red. Though, he sat on something very... odd looking. It was like a golden necklace, with three blue lightning bolts in it.

Thats when he realised something monumental.

He quickly stares at his flank, and sees the exact same pattern as his cutie mark. I've heard legends about this... but can it be true? The fabled seventh Element of Harmony, Determination. Frost reaches out his hoof to touch the necklace, but he recoiled it as soon as he felt the surge of electricity run through him, it felt very, very familliar.

"So. You're awake then."  Frost jumped to his hooves. Who WAS that!? He quickly scanned the room, and his gaze catches on a familliar looking stallion. "Hello Frost. You don't know why you're here do you?" The figure stepped forward, his shape fully visible.

"B-But... This is not possible!!" It was him! Well, he looked a little older. "If you're me, and I'm you... Why isn't the whole of-"

"Reality collapsing? It already is, and not because of us three." Young Frost tilted his head. Three? What does he mean...

"Whaddya mean three?" At that moment the cloaked figure stepped forward, and pulled down his hood. Frost was completely lost.

"He means me." The two colts stared at their latest arrival. He looked just like the Frost of the future, except there was dust and bruises on him. His mane was alot messier and the most distinctive feature, was the scar that cut across his eye. "We're gathered here today on a matter of urgency. Time and Reality are collapsing. Everywhere, every time line. I will explain more in a second. Right now, young Frost, please step on the red point. Older Frost, step on the blue point, and I will step on the green point." The three did so, and instantly, the triangle began to glow, and vines of energy began growing towards the element.

"Wh-Whats happening?!" Young Frost shouted, scared out of his mind. His question was answered however when all the vines reached the barrier that protected the element, and the forcefield smashed like a rock being thrown at a window. The necklace disapeared and a large blue light took it's place. The light split into three, and floated across the room to the stallions. The balls of blue changed back into a solid object, each of them being an element. All of them were determination, but they were all shaped differently. Young Frost's element was like the other six, a necklace with a cutie mark in the middle. The Frost form the Alternate future's looked the same, but scratches marked it all over and the colour was faded. The Frost from the future's one was different completely. It was a golden chest plate, and three large lightning bolts around the edges pointed towards a diamond in the middle. All three of them were astonished, a strange silence engulfed the room, just leaving each of them with their oughts for a little while, finally, one of them spoke up.

"Three storms come, when reality falls. The universes collapse and all time ends. Darkness of the void forever reigns." Alternate Frost looked up, and then back at the other two. They all stepped into the middle of the triangle. "We are the holders of determination, the last defense when reality falls. We are the holders in our own timelines and universes."

"So what do we do?" The older Frost rubbed the back of his neck.

"Easy. We call the other six here. ALL of them, from both timelines and dimensions."

"Hey, what exactly happens in my future?" Young Frost spoke up. The other two looked at eachother awkwardly.

"See, we can't actually tell you. You may find out via some other pony, but not us. We're risking to much as it is. Anyway, we need to think of some nicknames. Not anyrhing like Frost A, Frost B, Frost C. Something that matches us."

"How 'bout for you... Scar?" The young colt smiled strangely.

"Sounds good. I might call you kiddo, though." Scar chuckled.

"HEY!"

"Fine, fine... Runner then."

"Better..." Runner flicked his mane in disgust at the original suggesttion.

"Then I can stay as Frost? I mean... I got a relationship y'know?" Frost questioned the other two.

"Yeah fine. But... what now?" Runner looked around, and spotted Scar getting a couple of strange looking collars.

"These, are TAR jumpers. Time and Reality teleporters. Use these to get the other six from your respective timeline. I've programmed The Chamber of Dimensions onto the 'HOME' button, and your timeline as the 'JUMP' button. Go and fetch the other holders. I will return to my universe to get the holders from there, try not to explain to them what has transpired here. They need to see to believe. Also, start By going to the library, it's a big tree with windows and balconies on it, the micron there should be able to help you. Good Luck." Scar pressed his jump button and dissapeared in a flash of light.

"Well, I'll see ya later Runner, I got a mare to see. She probably won't be pleased with me!" Frost smiled, and left the way Scar did. Runner simply shrugged his shoulders, and pressed his Jump button. "This'll be one hell of a day."

Enter Sapphire

Prisoner Q398, Sapphire Wave.

"Hm. Well. This is interesting." Sapphire looked around, the room was distorting, and all colours were fading. Next to her was a bracelet, one with a blue gem in. She was staring at a small monitor infront of her, the top of it was labled with a sticker that read 'X199.' Sapphire simply smirked. "So, he's got out. I guess thats my que!" She slipped the bracelet on her hoof, but took one last look at a mirror to her right. She just gazed at herself. The very dark blue coat, her dark green mane. She looked like she had the past few years. Horrible. Her bright orange eyes then looked at her horn, and many cuts that scarred it. The one thing that confused her though, was the singular streak of light blue in her mane, and how it coiled around her pony-tail. Sapphire sighed, closed her eyes, and her horn began to glow emerald green, with that, she vanished into a blue orb.

A blue sphere of light illuminated the room. When the light cleared, Sapphire stood, taking in her new surroundings. A dark blue circle on the floor, a large glass rectangle in at the edge, and multiple colours flowing through the wall. This was it.

"The Chamber of Time." Sapphire though aloud. She walked over to a control panel under the monitor like object. Okay, I was told that when HE escaped, I was to come here. Let's see... A note? Sapphire picked up the note, and read it aloud.

To Whom May Find This Letter,

Let me start off by saying, congratulations, on making it here.

Second, if you've made it here, in the Chamber of Time, then you

are holder of the eighth element, Courage. I'm assuming you already

knew that though, *Sapphire Wave.***

Now, for making it to my sanctuary, then that means reality and time

are collapsing. To the left of this note should be a Time and Reality

Jumper. Use it to gather your two other forms, from the Celestial

Universe and the Base Universe. Once done, you MUST,

and I mean *MUST*, find the holder of the seventh

element, Frost Storm (A picture of him is attached to the back of the letter).

You do not have much time before The Void is unleashed on all universes,

including the Discordian Universe.

I'm trusting you will do it, you two are the last hopes for the Tri-Universes.

Good Luck, Anonymous

Sapphire turned the note around, and saw the dusty photograph of the white stallion, she smirked. After scanning the features of the colt, she put the letter down and picked up the TAR Jumper. She punched in her loaction and pressed the 'JUMP' button.

Sapphire stood in her house, as if she was waiting for something. A large flash of light engulfed her hall, and when she could see, there was her very much expected guest.

"I'm assuming you're here to take me to the Chamber. With the whole of existance collapsing and what not." The figure nodded. "Well, Are we just gonna stand here? Lets MOVE!" The figure nodded once more, and gestured for Sapphire to stand next to her. She did so, and then vanished into another ball of bright white light, leaving the distorting old house empty, and alone.

Sapphire gazed at the burning stadium, the fire was spreading to houses nearby, and screams of terror filled the open air. After those two colts collided in mid-air, it sparked some sort of explosion, burning the insides of the Royal Fliers Stadium. Sapphire however, had barely escaped with her life. She was walking in the town, quite happy, and talking to the various other cheerful pony-folk. But suddenly, there was a huge and deafening 'BANG', and before she knew it, she was running for her life.

Everything around the unicorn started to fade, all the colours had faded, and the only thing she could see that was moving, was the shape of two mares. She groaned and squinted her eyes to try and see who the ponies were, but to no avail.

"Sapphire Wave. The only living witness of the RFS tragedy." The two stepped forward, and she could now see they were both cloaked. "You need to come with us, please." Sapphire did not know why, but the voice sounded reassuring, like there was still hope for those in need of help over at the stadium. What she had said though really made her think. The only living witness? Am I the last survivor? Thoughts like these raced through her mind, she couldn't even remember half of them.

"Where are we going?" Sapphire cocked her head, still rather nervous.

"Creating the storm." This just rose more questions into her head. After pushing them to the back of her mind,with a quick shake of her head, she trotted up to the two cloaked figures, and vanished into thin air.

"Where is this place?" Sapphire circled the room, she observed all of the different aspects in the room. For instance, the colours flowing through the walls, and most importantly, the golden necklace in the floor with a green water droplet in.

"Sapphire, would you stay still a minute? I have a lot to explain and we're on a time limit. Please let me cast this spell to bring you up to speed of the events." Sapphire jumped upon hearing the sound of another voice, but before she could question the mare, she fly the tip of a horn touch her forehead. Instantly images started rushing before her eyes and knowledge was flooding her mind. She clenched her eyes shut tightly.

When she reopened her eyes, she instantly looked at the cloaked mare in front of her.

"Sapphire Wave of the Discordian Universe of the Tri-Universes. The whole of existence is collapsing and we need to find Frost Storm, holder of the seventh element of harmony, Determination. We are currently inside the chamber of time, created by the God of Time himself." Sapphire turned to the other cloaked figure. "Sapphire Wave of the Celestial Universe in the Tri-Universes."

"GOOD! You're finally up to speed of what is going on. That's brilliant, and it cuts out about fifteen minutes of talking. Now, you two need to walk around the border of this circle here with me. Trust me." Young and Adult Sapphire looked at each other for a brief moment, shrugged the did as they were told.

The circle began to glow and the element inside the circle began to life upwards, and split into three lights. Each of them floated to one of the three mares. The lights began to subside and solid objects could finally be seen. Each of them were different in their own way. Young Sapphire's element was like the rest, told neckless, with the green droplet in the middle. Discordian Sapphire's element was just the same, just with scratches and worn areas on there with faded colours.

Adult Sapphire's was different in its own way. The shape was basically a breastplate that looked a bit to tall for her. They all looked at one and other with huge smiles on their faces.  The three stepped into the centre of the circle.

"Right, we need names. I think it'll get confusing if we all call each other Sapphire. My name can be Seeker, seeing as I sought all of you out. You can be Hope, as you always have that little glimmer of hope in your eyes and you can remain as Sapphire, due to your relationship with that colt." Seeker looked around, and then back at the other two mares. "We need to find those three. Hope, you go to the Base Universe and wait outside the

Ibarra for somepony who looks like this." Seeker holds up a picture of Frost up "When you see him, tackle him and teleport back here with him." She tosses hope a TAR Jumper. "Home is set as here, and Jump is set as your universe." She throws another collar to Sapphire. "Sapphire, you do the same. NO DISTRACTIONS. THIS MEANS HIM."

"Yeah, Yeah, I promise." Sapphire put the collar around her neck and pressed the jump button, the other two followed suit and The Chamber was empty once more.

Ambushed

Runner appeared in a flash of light. Ponyville Outskirts. Scar had told him to head to the library first, and that was at the other end of town. There was an eerie silence in the air, no towns folk were out today, and the sky was dark and grey. He erupts into a furious gallop into town, his hooves hitting the concrete floor was the only sound to be heard. Eventually he sees the top of the great trees in the distance, marking that he was nearing his destination. Increasing his pace, he ducks is head down, charging towards the library.

After finally reaching the library, Runner reaches his hoof up to knock on the door, but suddenly recoils it when he sees a large flash of light in the bush next to him. "Hello?" he asks, expecting somepony to jump out. No answer, so he lifts his hoof once more, but this time feels himself being taken to the ground. A dark coated mare pins him down to the floor, a look of satisfaction on her face.

"WHAT THE BUCK? GET OFF OF ME!" He squirmed under the weight of the mare, trying to escape. The mare reaches her hoof to the collar around her neck and places her hoof on the Home button. "Thats a TAR jumper! How did you get that?!" before he could throw more questions at her, they disappeared into another bright light.

A gentle breeze blew all through the ruined facility. Scar walked down the ruined hallway, and towards his old cell. Hopefully the mares are still there, he thought. As he walked down the final corridor before turning into his room, a door to the left ahead of him had a flash of light seep through from under the door. Be shrugs it off as maybe the electricity playing up. He reaches the end of the corridor when suddenly, he feels something grab his tail pull him into a dark room. As his eyes adjust he sees the form of a mare pushing him against the wall. The light wasn't the electricity, it was her! She caused that flash of light by teleporting here!

"Hello Frost." the voice was calm- but to Scar was all to familiar.

"Sapphire. I assume you are here upon the matter of existence itself. I've got a soloution so if you just let me go...." The mare tightened her grip on him.

"Please, refer to me as Seeker. And Yes."

"Then please refer to me as Scar. I just ne-"

Ponyville shops were closed, doors were locked, no pony was walking the streets tonight, except for one. Frost silently tread the path, his head hung low, and the rain hammering down on his body. The weather hadn't been managed for days, and now everypony was paying the price. He was making his way to the library. He feared to go neat there since he  arrived, he thought he'd only been away for a few hours, turns out he'd been gone for a few days. Dash's friends won't be pleased with me, he thought, which makes it worse because I have to collect them all at once including her. His mind was a mess of emotions and thought.

After what seems like hours of walking he, found himself at the door to the library. The rain was coming down really hard today. He quickly turned his head towards the bush next to him in response to hearing a rustling noise. Slowly, he turned his head back to the door and lifts a hoof to knock on the old wooden door. He suddenly feels himself pushed into another bush, while being pinned by another pony. Before he could shout in surprise, a bright white light engulfed the two and they were gone.

"Okay, where are we a Scar?" Runner stared at the colt, who was just observing his surroundings. The room was much like the chamber of dimensions, except the dominant colour on the wall was blue, not green.

"The Chamber of Time, the second chamber." Scar was very much intreated about the sanctuary. Like twice before, a large flash of bright light erupted in the room, and two ponies sent flying either side, both of them groaning in pain.

"WHO THE HAY ARE YOU?!" Frost instantly scuttled to his hooves and marched right up to the mare, her mane covering her face. She grunted.

"Thats what I wanna know about you." She looks up and stares Frost in the eye. Instantly they grew pale and their eyes grew dramatically

"AGHHHH!!" The two cried in unison, clutching their heads. As quickly as it happened, is as quickly as it ended.

The two passed out on the floor.
