Previous ChapterNext ChapterRegime Castle- Canterlot, Equestria- Gaia-60192
Aboard the Twinkling Balloon, the Doctor and Pinkie-996, or Ponka, were firing cannons at Regime troops. Ponka was laughing with glee, as she fires her party cannon at both ground and air forces. The brown stallion has a focused glare on the castle, the ones who are responsible for this mess, for ruining this world, and most personally, stealing his TARDIS. Then, something from his collar went off. He pulls his collar open, removing a walkie-talkie from his dimensional pockets, answering.
"Doc," Applejack-60192 responds on the other side, with his Sonic Screwdriver. "Ah found it. "It's in the garage where we are."
"Good," the brown stallion said, a smile forming on his face. "me and Pinkie will be there shortly."
"Ponka," the said mare corrected, feeling a little annoyed.
"Ponka?" Applejack's voice was filled with confusion.
"Her," he groaned, rubbing his head. "new nickname, we'll be there," Then, the Doctor sees something, filling his heart with dread. It was a oncoming spectral bullet, most likely this world's Rainbow Dash. "Oh God!! Ponka," he turns to the pink mare, who was now scared. "move!!"
But the cyan mare struck the balloon, popping it on impact. Deflating, the basket carrying the two ponies fell to ground, as they held on for dear life. Pinkie screamed, while the Doctor held his forehooves to the edge, closing his eyes. If he was going to die again, at least he could save one being from this war. Unknowingly to the two of them, a series of rogue blasts explode from the castle, causing it to crumble. The energy bolts were flying around, hitting both Regime and Insurgents alike. Some were killed on contact, others lost their abilities; as the pegasi lose their wings, falling to their death. An idea comes to Ponka, as she climbs to the deflated balloon, as she blows onto her own hoof, inflating her entire body. With the pink mare inflated like a balloon, the Doctor wraps her tail around the rope, lifting the carriage he was in. With the balloon (somewhat) repaired, he begins to guide the two towards the ground. The brown stallion's blue eyes focuses on the rumbiling around the castle, as the battle between the two Twilights getting worst. The two alicorns were trading blows with one another, the High Chancellor throwing a fury of magic blasts at the Princess of Friendship and many Insurgents. Twilight-Prime charges at her counterpart, shooting at her non-stop. Chancellor Sparkle glares at the princess, striking her abdomen with her horn. Princess Sparkle gasps, as blood pours out of her mouth and the fresh wound.
"C-Cheap shot," Twilight-Prime groans, as she falls onto her knees.
"You're good," the Chancellor alicorn grinned. "But I'm better." Her horn lights up, aiming it at her doppelganger. "Once I've killed you, I'll go to your world, conquer it, bring your Celestia here; to show her how I've perfected it."
"S-She'll be applaud," She said through gasping breaths. "and disgusted. She'll look at you in fear, saddened that her most prized pupil became a tyrant and bringer of disharmony."
Crying out in rage, she fires at her duplicate, but was knocked down from behind. Her blasts ricocheted off of the walls, and into one of her soldiers. The two Twilights glance up, seeing it was Trixie, glaring at her world's lavender alicorn. Princess Twilight smiled, getting up, using her magic to cover her wound.
"Your ride home has been found," the blue unicorn gestures to her two companions heading into the castle. "I suggest you head there now!"
"But," the lavender princess gulped. "what about you? This Gaia? Her?!" She gestures to her glaring duplicate.
"We'll be fine," Trixie lights her horn, trotting past Twilight-Prime. "leave her to us." The light blue mare marches towards her former friend, lighting her horn up. Firing at Chancellor Twilight, who puts up a shield, deflecting the blasts. As the princess flees to join her party, Trixie continues to fire at the tyrannical alicorn.
"TRAITOR!!" She hollers, charging at Trixie, grabbing her by the throat. "I trusted you! I gave you friendship!" Trixie laughs, choking a little due to the force being placed on her neck. She grins at the Chancellor, coughing. "Your peace," she coughs, mocking her. "your peace is a joke." The lavender dictator roars in anger, blasting Trixie in the chest. The blue unicorn hurls out of the ruined castle, rolling when landing on the ground. The alicorn turns her head to her officers, shocked at what she has done. They begin to back away from her, afraid of their superior. Chancellor Twilight twitches, growing in anger. "They'll pay for this!"
Palace Hangar.
Twilight-Prime enters the Hangar, galloping towards the TARDIS. Waiting for her was the Doctor, and this world's Applejack and Caramel. "Ya alright, surgarcube?" Applejack trots to the princess, noticing her scars and bruises.
"I'm fine," she says, hugging the Insurgency leader. "Thank you for helping us getting the TARDIS back."
"Thanks for helpin' us," Applejack lets go, pushing her to the TARDIS doors, as the brown stallion follows. "Go!"
Nodding, the two enter, with Ponka waiting inside the blue box. The Doctor gallops to the console, flipping switches and buttons. The TARDIS doors closes, as it's engine begins to pump up and down. The ship shakes, signaling it's exit out of Gaia-60192. The stallion sighs, turning to mares. "That was," he panted. "interesting."
"Very disturbing," Twilight-Prime nods. "Right, Pinkie?"
"Ponka," the pink mare answers.
"Ponka?" The lavender alicorn raises a brow. "That... kinda sounds like a pornstar's name."
"Maybe," she giggles. "but it's to tell the difference between the other Pinkies, plus, do I really like being called Pinkie-996. It almost makes me sound like a slave, not very fun. Also, alot alternate ponies changes their names to--!"
"Ponka," the Doctor speaks up. "you're rambling again." Then, the TARDIS shakes momentarily, before the engines stop. The brown stallion trots towards the doors, with Twilight-Prime and Ponka following him.
Gaia-2149
Within the ruins of Manehattan, a group of ponies were sitting among the rubble. This collective group was surrounded by piles of decaying bodies, consisting of equine and griffon. Certain members of the group can be recogonized, conversing among themselves. A sobbing mare can be heard, screaming in anguish.
"DEAR FAUST!!" An orange mare, with necrotized fur. "WHAT HAVE WE BECOME?!"
"Hear we go again," a zombified Rainbow Dash rolls her eyes.
"Ah ate mah sister, mah granny!! DEAR FASUT! WHY DID AH DO THAT?!" Applejack sobs into her forelegs. "WHY?!"
"Calm down Applejack!!" a zombiefied unicorn Twilight barks. "Besides, we all ate our loved ones as well. Spike and I pretty much ate my whole family, and you don't see me complaining. Plus," she gestures her head to a necrotized Big Macintosh. "you still have your brother."
"I think we need to focus on the bigger picture, darlings," Rarity speaks up, missing her entire horn. "we're decaying, ugly to look at," she cringed in horror. "lastly, and most importantly, there's no food left." The former fashionista glares at the cyan mare, who has the half of her head missing, and Pinkie, who has an open torso, and swelled legs. "Thank Pinkie and Rainbow Dash for that."
"Screw you!!" Rainbow barks at the alabaster unicorn. "We were consumed by the hunger, give us some slack!!"
"To think it further," Twilight speaks up. "when you got infected, you spread the disease around much faster, making us swarm like parasprites."
"Plus," Fluttershy mentions, who has her left wing cut off. "Pinkie's missing a heart and the blood's gone to her legs."
"WHAT WAS THAT?!" Pinkie hollers, though not paying attention to the butter pegasus.
"She's stating that you're pratically slowed down," Rarity rolls her eyes.
"Not that, Rarity!" She points her hoof to the skies. "That!" The rest of the mane six, including Spike, lifts their head, glancing at the black, grey skies. They furrow their brows in confusion and irritation. Spike turns to Pinkie, groaning. "I don't see anything!"
"Now it's there!!" She points to Empire State building. What the pink mare sees, was a blue box behind the decaying building. Twilight trots to the mare, squinting her eyes. "I don't know," she licks her lips. "but I know it's food!"
