Author's Note

The au tag is because I can't be arsed watching every episode to remember everything and it gives me free reign to do as I please.

Some constructive criticism would be nice. You should also note that this is a vent for creativity and I may end it at any time.

Also tell what you think of Limbo, as in the warframe not the story character.

I should of listened to Lazarus

Equestria, a beautiful place filled with love and joy, a land where everypony lives happy lives under the powerful gaze of their monarchs sun, truly there is no better place to be unless of course you just so happen to die, travel dimensions and be turned into equine all the while a psycopathic super-horse tries to take over the world by bringing about eternal night. You may be wondering what poor soul had to go through that and the answer is me. I bet you're now thinking who I am, well, my name is Limbo and i'm a Tenno or warframe take your pick. So I suppose you would like me to explain everything in detail and for that we need to travel back in time to when I was experimenting with my abilities to see just how far I could push them.

"There is a high likelihood of you dying, you know that right." said a synthetic voice that resonated within a rather brightly coloured liset. The voice however was addressing a tall bipedal being that looked like it was going to attend a masquerade because of its black, violet and white tailcoat and what would appear to be a plague doctors mask and hat. The being however was within a realm that it calls 'the rift' as that was exactly what it was a rift in reality that only it can control. The well dressed biped looked to be fizzling in an out of existence as it was currently experimenting with its powers.

It responded by saying "There is also a small likelihood that I won't so i'm doing it anyway, Lazarus." the newly dubbed Lazarus could only sigh at the beings strange desire to pretty much kill itself.

"I'm aware of that Limbo but considering it's only a small chance of survival don't you think you should be cautious." Lazarus said to Limbo trying to persuade him to stop what he's doing. Unfortunately it didn't work.

Limbo then said "I am being cautious, you recording everything so if something goes wrong you can send it to Vauban, Nekros and Lotus so they can figure out what happened." of course Lazarus was not pleased with this answer but sadly being Limbo's cephalon meant he knew to never enter a prolonged argument with him because it would end badly for everyone involved except Limbo.

"Alright then, Operator, you win but but don't say I didn't warn you." Lazarus replied feeling uncomfortable about the experiment.

"Wonderful, now shall we begin?" As he said that everything started to shake and some small items like noggles and statues started to float but as soon as it started everything went back to the way it was. With the exception of Limbo.

"Operator? What happened? Where did you go?" the cephalon sighed to himself and started to contact another tenno.
"Nekros?"

"Lazarus." replied an souless voice that was empty of all emotion.

"We have a problem. You see..."

"ahhhahahaow, this must be what Excalibur feels when trying to fight Rhino, heh" said Limbo as he tries to stand but only to fall on his face "My face feels weird." and as opened his eyes he saw what looked to be a muzzle just under his vision "how peculiar." he says looking for more changes and finding quite a few of them. For starters he is a small equine similar to that of a horse or a pony as he deduced considering his size, the next thing he noticed was his dark grey almost black coat and his white mane with a few strands of purple going through it "Edgy." he said as he noticed that. Limbo then realized he was wearing somewhat familiar clothing, he had a black top hat with a black tailcoat that was purple on the inside and a white dress shirt with a purple bow tie "Pretty cool." he said seeing the bow tie. One of the final details he noticed was that he has some type of mark on his flank and it looked like a cyan vortex with his top hat in the center of it "Strange, must have something to do with my control over the rift. Speaking of rift lets see if I can still work it." as he said that he focuses on displacing himself in the rift only for his head to glow cyan which both confuse him and illuminate his surroundings which then lead to even more confusion "I'm in a castle?" he said not quite sure what to do "It just came to me i'll need to learn how to walk. Damn it."

And so the great rift walker spent the next half hour trying to walk.

"Well, hello there" Limbo said in relief as he not only learnt how to walk but he also found one of his favourite wepons, the Destreza, that must of been transported here with him but as he went to pick it up he remembered he didn't have fingers however that was fixed quickly as he knew how to levitate objects. When tried levitating it the Destreza his head started glowing again along while rapiers handle which lead it to floating and to his suprize the glow came from a horn sticking out of his head put before he could investigate further a portal opened with what he could only call a pegacorn coming out of it and this pegacorn was at the 6ft, had a onyx black coat, cyan blue eyes, had the night sky for her mane and tail and had a moon on her flanks. Shortly after her however came a unicorn just smaller than Limbo with a lavender coat, lavender eyes had dark blue/purple mane and tail with a hot pink and violet streaks and on her flanks was a star with six smaller white stars surrounding it.

"Do you truly believe you can defeat me?" the taller mare spoke in a condescending tone much to the annoyance ot the other mare a Limbo. She the proceded to levitate five grey balls around her and smash them off the ground much to the horror of the purple one.

"THE ELEMENTS!" shouted the purple one in absolute disdain which Limbo found quite over dramatic and amusing.

"MWHAHAHA NOW THE NIGHT SHALL LAST FOREVER!" The onyx one shouted which rung multiple alarm bells in Limbo's mind.

"I don't want to rain on your parade but I can't let that happen since that would kind of, mabye kill everything on the plant, so yeah, you sort need to die." said Limbo levitating his Destreza at his side.

"Who dares threaten their queen, Nightmare Moon!?" shouted the now named Nightmare

"People call me the rift walker but for formalites sake you can call me limbo, now it's about about time for you to enter the void where you belong." He stated feeling a little excited for what was surely going to be an interesting fight.

Limbo started of by charging forward and thrusting his rapier forward only to pull back as she started to block, with her newly summoned sword, and punch her in the muzzle which causeed her to recoil in both pain and suprize but before Limbo could do anything else she used her magic to push him back. "You are going to pay for challenging me!" she said as she lunged forward to try and skewer him only to miss and receive another punch to the face which enraged her more than she thought possible.

"Are teeth for show or do you just have no bite." Mocked Limbo which lead to her lifting him and throwing him into the purple mare

"You are beyond annoying." and as she said that started to charge a spell that would likely kill everything in the area and just as she fired the spell Limbo trough his hoove up in an attempt to sheil himself and then... There was nothing

For about twenty seconds, before Limbo opened his eyes seeing a very very confused Nightmare Moon covered in a cyan and black energy which Limbo immediately recognized as rift energy.

"What did you do to her?" said multiple voices in the backround. As he turned to reply he noticed five new mares.

The first and most prominent was a pink mare with darker pink mane and tail with baby blue eyes and she appeared to have three ballons as a flank mark however the most pressing detail was her massive smile that stretched to impossible levels.

After her was a yellow mare with a pink mane and tail, again blue eyes and had three butterflys on her flank, she however looked as fragile as a kavat kitten when compared to most of the others.

The next one was an orange mare with a blonde mane and tail with a brown stetson on her head and on her flank were three apples. The mare herself looked both concerned for everyones safety and confused as to what Limbo did to the Nightmare.

The next mare was rather hard to miss with her multicolored mane and tail, cyan coat with rose eyes and as her mark it was a cloud with a tri-coloured lightning bolt shooting from it. The mare herself seemed over confident while at the same time being skeptical of Limbo.

The last mare had a snow white coat with a purple mane and tail that ended in quite fashionable curls, she also had sky blue eyes. There mare however seemed to be far to focused on Limbo than anything else which made him both intrigued and nervous.

The purple mare seem to have come to a realization as she saw the other mares whereas Limbo started answering thier question "Well, you see, I banished her into the rift; it's like a different plane of existence so as long as she's in there and we are here nothing should happen as she can interact with this world merely observe." the explanation made the mares more curious it however seemed to slightly upset Nightmare Moon.

"I DEMAND YOU RELEASE ME AT ONCE YOU FOAL!!!" she shouted however Limbo didn't really care for her opinion.

"This might seem unfair to you sir but could please keep her distracted for a while, I have an idea." the purple mare whispered to Limbo.

"Yes, that should be rather simple." so while the mares dicussed their plan Limbo walked over to Nightmare only for apart of the ceiling to collapse but he dashed to the side to avoid it only to realize he had entered the rift "strange, that cost no energy." unfortunately he wasn't the only one to notice his entrance and Nightmare started her attack by swing her sword at him fortunately though he manged to block just in time only for him to stagger backward and get shot back with a blast of magic which made him lose even more focus before getting kicked in the ribs breaking some of them this caused the rift to collapse bringing them back to reality. Just as Nightmare Moon was about to bring her hoof down on his skull he saw all the mares glowing with strange looking necklaces and a crown and for some reason it gave him just enough focus for another ability which he used on himself and all of a sudden everything stopped except him which had used to his advantage by climbing on Nightmare's back and started a choke hold after that he let time resume as normal only for three things to happen

1. Was that Nightmare Moons face looked hilarious when she found herself being choked.
   
2. Everything went multicoloured.
   
3. Everything then went black.

Limbo found himself being awoken by the sound of people talking "Lazarus, would you kindly turn on the lights." the reply he got was not from his cephalon but actually by a strangly motherly voice.

"It might help if you opened your eyes, my little pony." she said in a bemused tone of voice.

As Limbo proceded to do that he replied "That usually does help" before taking the sight before him. There was another pegacorn creature standing in front of him this one had an alabaster white coat, pink eyes and a flowing mane that reminded him of a sunrise she also had a sun mark on her flank. She appeared to have an amused smile on her face but the one thing that shocked him the most was the look he saw in her eyes. It was a look that he could find in himself and other Tenno the biggest difference was that her eyes were serene but his were, if you look far enough, cold and empty. It also seemed that she noticed considering the suprise on her face and her next statment.

"You wouldn't mind if I ask you a few questions when we arrive in Ponyvile"
