The Switch

"First you add a cup of flour, add it to the mix!" Pinkie Pie sang as she was making cupcakes in the kitchen, unaware that her Cutie Mark was glowing. "Then you take a-" a crashing sound interrupted her singing. "Huh?"

She quickly ran to the basement to find Mr. Cake on the ground, pots and pans spinning a bit before stopping.

"Oh my gosh! Mr. Cake! Are you okay?" Pinkie asked him as she helped him up.

"Yes, Pinkie. I'm fine. Thank you though." Mr. Cake said, as Pinkie was putting the pots and pans on both his and her back to carry them upstairs. "By the way your Cutie Mark is glowing." He chuckled as he saw her look at her flank, gasp and run off.

Starswirl's ghost looked left, then right, hoping that he wouldn't be spotted by a random guard that decided to check up on him during their patrol's, then closed the door to his room and locked it. Breathing a sigh of relief he yelped when he turned around to face a bright-pink-see-through face.

"Oops." the Pink ghost said, giggling as she helped him up. "Sorry about that, do you have the Element?"

"Aye, I doth has't the Element, Pinkie Pie." Starswirl said as he opened his cape up to reveal the Element of Magic on his back, hidden with a 'Notice Me Not' spell that he deactivated. "I can only hope this worketh because if it doesn't then I knoweth that the Elements of Harmony hath left this accurs'd realm."

"Well what do you need me to do?" Pinkie Pie asked.

"All I needeth of thee to doth is be mine lookout, I shalt handle the rest and call thou in when it's ready."

"Okie dokie lokie!" she said as she pronked though the door.

Starswirl sighed and shook his head, getting the ceremony ready was a pain in the flank, what with the Celestial Inquisition burning any and all things not respecting the Princesses, honestly they were all idiots, if they truly believed in them then..... most, of this wouldn't be happening! Thankfully his time as a ghost gave him all the time he needed to memorize most of the books. But he finally got everything he needed and that was what mattered.

A few minutes later he was done and called Pinkie back in

"Prithee, oh most wondrous and powerful Element of Magic." He chanted, horn glowing brightly. "Showeth me how I can putteth Twilight back on the right path." A bright flash of light happened and they were both blinded.

When they could see again they saw a purple Alicorn with Archmagister Twilight's Cutie Mark on her forehead surrounding her horn.

"Who dares to summon me?" She boomed. "If you- oh hello Starswirl, what is it this time?"

"This time?" Starswirl asked as he shook his head in confusion.

"Ah, wrong universe, my bad," she said as she looked around, her body was made of pure magic, he could feel, and taste it. "anyway you're probably looking for a way to fix everything right? Well I'm sorry to say that, while I can, it's extremely dangerous and has a 99.9% chance of letting out, not only the other Elements of Harmony, but also the Elements of Disharmony, and let's just say that this little civil war will be but a drop of rain in the ocean compared to what will happen should that happen."

"What would happen?" Pinkie Pie asked, voice shaking.

"Imagine a world where Tartarus is considered a vacation." Magic said bluntly, they both winced.

"Isn't there anything that thou can do to help?" Starswirl demanded.

"Well, let me weigh my options here. On one hoof I can leave you to your fates, killing off any story that has been planed by the Author, or I can come out, dooming all of this world to a painful end as we fight to our last breaths on this world........... Or....."

"Or what?" Pinkie Pie asked.

"Or I could get alternate versions of your friends and send them here, and send them to replace the ones that I stole. Of course, their Pinkie Pie would have to stay home with them as, well, I don't think that she would be happy with her landing."

Starswirl sighed, "What can we doth to help thou?"

Pinkie entered the castle and giggled as she felt the magical barrier preventing disharmonious beings from walking inside, it always made her laugh. When she opened the door to the meeting/map room she saw the others sitting on their thrones, and went to take her seat.

"Hiya girls!" Pinkie said. "Where's the map gonna send us next?"

"We don't know yet Pinkie. We were waiting for you to show up." Rainbow Dash said, her wings opening and closing, like she was getting ready to fly off at any moment.

"Spike would you mind getting us some cookies?" Rarity asked, her belly grumbling.

"Sure thing Rarity." Spike said as he got off his throne and walked out of the room.

"But now that you're here it should work." Twilight said, looking at the map, which soon came to life. They could see all of their Cutie Marks floating around Ponyvile, only this Ponyvile didn't have Twilight's castle in it, in fact, this didn't look like their Equestria at all!. For some reason they could also see Celestia's and Luna's Cutie Marks but they disappeared shortly after they saw them for a while. Then the Cutie Marks rushed over to Canterlot and stayed there for a while, then they could see both Shining Armor's and Cadence's Cutie Marks hover over Canterlot along with Blueblood's and Twilight's parents'. Suddenly Applejack's Cutie Mark went over to Appleloosa, making Applejack raise an eye.

If they looked closely enough they could just make out some tiny pegasi flying towards Canterlot along with riots happening all over Equestria, and if they looked up they could see a number 5. When the pegasi entered Canterlot, Twilight's parent's Cutie Marks had large red X's over them, then they went into the ground, the 5 turned to a 6 and Applejack's Cutie Mark returns to Canterlot, then promptly turns around and heads back, then they see a bright light come from Canterlot, when the light cleared they saw that Rainbow's Cutie Mark was a little burned, Twilight's and Fluttershy's were fine, Rarity's had a small crystal that could be barely be seen on it, and Pinkie's? Pinkie's was the last one to be cleared of the smoke. What they saw made them gasp in horror.

It had a big red X on it.

Rarity's Cutie Mark then walked over to Blueblood's and suddenly Blueblood's Cutie Mark had a big red X over it and it was put into the ground, then Rarity's Cutie Mark fled to Manehatten (after taking a pit stop in Ponyvile), which began to wall itself off. Rainbow's Cutie Mark then went over to Cloudsdale, Fluttershy's Cutie Mark then slowly went over to Ponyvile and stopped a little bit away as RD's CM then came straight to Ponyvile...... with a small tornado, with many Pegasi inside, around it. Pinkie's CM then disappeared, not that they noticed, and Canterlot had a shield around it.

"NO! It's too powerful! It'll-It'll!" Rainbow yelled after she did some calculations, trying to stop the tornado by stepping on it, but as it was an illusion, she could not do anything but watch in horror as the tornado ripped the town apart, then watch as her CM fled back to Cloudsdale, and Fluttershy's CM then fled to the Everfree after walking through the town, some ponies that survived followed her as they set up small camps that slowly grew, then some more tiny ponies went over to one of them and a fire broke out, they could almost hear the scream of rage that happened right after. Then the animals came out of the forest and mauled the ponies that did it, not that they could see that, then Fluttershy's CM went into the Everfree. Rarity gasped as she took a look at her Map CM, it was nearly halfway covered in crystals, and Manehatten now was completely walled off, but there was a sizable chunk of homes outside its walls. They could also see battles happening all over the place and the Everfree slowly expanding. Then it stopped as ponies began to enter the forest and blades could be heard clashing with something in it. Then Fluttershy's CM then went over and two hydra's were following her as they pushed the enemy ponies out.

They all looked up as everything froze, seeing the number 15 float above them, they then looked down and saw a new town and barriers that surrounded, and cut though, all of Equstria, like borders. Each of them were in one of these borders, though there was an empty spot, and some cities in the borders that were neutral, and labeled as such, though they were far and in between.

"What is it trying to say?" Twilight asked, she opened her mouth to continue but was interrupted by words appearing in front of them all.

"'Will you help us restore Harmony to this divided land?'" Fluttershy read aloud. "Um..... I-I guess?" she raised her hoof over the Yes button that had appeared on her chair, when she was interrupted by a knocking on the door.

"Spike you don't have to knock." Rarity said, walking over to the door and attempting to open it with her magic, when it didn't budge, she tried harder. "Um.... darlings? We appear to be trapped...."

"Oh yea? We'll see about that!" Rainbow said, nodding at Applejack as they both charged the door.... the only thing they got for their efforts was a bit of pain as they crashed into the door which showed no signs of budging.

"Stand back girls!" Twilight said, her horn glowing with magic, when they got out of the way she blasted it with as much power as she could. when the smoke cleared the door was without a scratch. She then imagined her room, she teleported to the door. "Why can't we leave? Maybe if we do what it says we'll be able to leave?"

"Well if that's true then I must be the bargaining chip, because I don't see any 'YES' button on my chair." Pinkie Pie said, looking around her chair for said button but not coming up with it.

"Well if that's how the Map wants to play, then I'm all in." Rainbow said, hitting the YES button.

"Same here Rainbow." Applejack said, doing the same, the others also hitting their YES buttons.

And that's when 5 portals appeared over them, and sucked them all up except for Pinkie, and then they all came crashing down back in their chairs, dressed in weird clothes, and even armor! However one look at Rainbow's burned face and she nearly let out a scream of horror. Then to make things worse the door started to open.

"Huh, that was odd, the door wouldn't open for a.......second?" Spike said as he walked up to the table and put his cookies on it, noticing that they were all unconscious except for Pinkie, and dressed oddly. "Um.... what happened?
