Chapter 1: The Doc
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A gray pegasus laid down on his old red musty couch. He was snoring loudly and hung his head slightly off the edge. Next to him was a pile of old food and crumpled papers. This was indeed the look of a gentle cult, he even whor a black bow tie to prove it. He called himself "Doctor".
He slept for hours until a loud banging sound disturbed his ritual of slumber. He awoke with a panic and plunged off the sofa. He got up slowly and weakly to try and see what the problem was.
The Doc was inside his control room. it was themed around red steampunk with a hint of classical. It was a decently sized room filled to the brim with bookcases with junk and bookcases. Next to the master controls where huge boxes labeled 'questions' stuffed with thin pieces of white and blue paper. Finally, in the fount was a large set of white doors labeled "Police public call box" backwords where the banging was coming from.
"Hello?" The Doc said trying to hide his concern with an impassioned tone. The banging became louder. "I don't know who or what y-you are, but you better get off my bloody TARDIS right now! I mean where fucking traveling between time and space right now, how are you not going completely insane?!" The banging pressed on, even louder now.
Suddenly, the doors swooshed open, and in came a pink figure with a butcher knife and a hoof stitched apron of assorted colors. She had long dark pink hair and small blue pupils. Her lips were cracked from being dried out and her smile brought chills down the Doc's spine.
"Insane?" She said cheerfully. "Of course I'm insane, I have just broken into one of the most... how you'd say... 'protected'... ya, protected. I just broke into the least protected TARDIS in the multiverse, and I'm not even gonna kill the only guard. I must be crazy to pass up THIS opportunity!"
The Doc was horrified. He wanted to speak, but couldn't. He's dealt with Pinkamina before, but something was different about her. Wait, what did she say? 'Multiverse'? Ah, yes, of course, she must be from another timeline.
"Multiverse? You mean you're not from this reality? I'd be shocked if I wasn't used to things like this by now. "
"Aww, don't be a 'Party Pooper', I came here to thank you!"
The Doc was analyzing this more closely now.
"Thank me? For what? What did I do for you?"
Pinkamina smiled. "Oh, I wanted to thank you for giving me your TARDIS. The one I sto-Borrowed from my universe burned out, and I heard from a little birdy yours can easily go between reality!"
The Doc was stunned. Who told her about his reality jumping abilities? If someone told her, how did THEY know? DId he tell her in the future, or did someone figure it out? Wait... she just admitted to stealing a TARDIS from another universe, but if that true...
"What happened to the Doctor of your reality" The Doc blurted out without even thinking of consequences, or thinking at all for that matter.
"Oh, that snore fest? I simply pushed him out his TARDIS and into some random reality. I think he fell into the one that had a blue Twilight or something. Don't know, don't care." Pinkamina happily replied.
"Anyways-" Pinkamina without warning ran up to the Doc and pierced her cleaver into his shoulder. He screeched in agony. "- I'm not ready to start killing you all yet, so I'm being nice and giving everyone a head start to try and prepare for me! Trust me, if I was ready to kill ya now I would, but I have something I want to do, and it's no fun when you don't have companions, so I'm just gonna through you into some jerks timeline. Hope there nice"
Before anything else could be said, the Doc was not just thrown, but ejected out into the colorful void that surrounded the TARDIS. His ears and his eye's bled as soon as he left the TARDIS safety field range.
"Bye, see you again when I'm ready to start killing you all! It's gonna be fun! I'm gonna get some friends first to help me play! Oh, before I forget, I need to tell you my evil plans and- HAY, Stop floating away! Uhg, FINE, I'll tell you when I see you later... K bye!~ <3" This was the last thing he heard before everything began to ring, and his eyes began to fog up. He felt his muscles tense so tight, that they made the pain of the cleaver seem like a light tap on the nose. He was floating away into some poor saps world. His last thought before going unconscious was as follows... 'Please don't look at the magazines on the floor, please don't look at the magazines on the floor, please don't look... at... magazines... floor...'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Twilight looked out her palace window before going to bed for the night, she sighed. Today had been a weird one.
It went like this; Twilight was trying to visit Pinke pie and thank her for the wonderful cupcakes she had received. Upon hearing she sent cupcakes she tried to say they weren't from her, but then her Pinkie senses started up and she closed Sugar cube corner. After that, Twilight tried to visit some of her friends, but they were all busy looking for Rainbow Dash. She had been missing for days and no one knew where she was. She just vanished.
Twilight looked up at the stars. She hadn't slept well for the past few days, she kept having nightmares about the same thing: A tall Alicorn taking her away into a dark void with Rainbowdash. It made her shiver to think about how Luna her self-had sent a letter about how she could not find Twilights dreams. Another heavy sigh came out of her mouth. She knew tomorrow, she was gonna have to go to visit the Princesses early in the morning, and Starlight was gonna have to look after the castle with Spike. Luna had asked for Twilight to come alone, and it scared her.
"Why," Twilight said to her self-allowed. "Why does Luna want me alone ? What's so bad that I would put others in danger to bring them with me..."
Twilight looked up. A falling star was going through the cloudless night sky. She stared at it for a second before closing her eyes and making a wish to her self, whispering it under her breath. She looked back at it as it landed. It only took her a moment to realize the shooting star had crashed into the Everfree forest instead of soring through it.
Something had crashed from the sky. Somepony could be hurt.
Twilight flew out of her home and straight towards the crash site. She smelled a powerful chared like stench the closer she got. Something was definitely hurt, she could feel it. When she finally made it to the crash site, her maw dropped. Inside of a large crater was a gray pegasus with dark gray pointy hair, a short tail, and chared up wings. His eyes looked pinkish around the edges, and his ears were still dripping small amounts of blood, Other than that, the only other thing to notice was that he was concise.
Twilight ran to him and studied his face. He looked like her old friend Dr.Time Turner from down the street, even his cutie mark was the same. The only difference being that his colors where only shades of gray.
"Wha... what happened to you? I'm getting you to the hospital immediately! Hold on, I'll tekACH-" He threw a rock at her head and missed. "What the buck ?!"
"No... hospitals... Marsh... mallow" He said groggily like state through the pain.
"Marshmallow?! What do you-"
"Shhh... No... hospitals... I hate..." He closed his eyes.
Twilight used her magic to put him on her shoulders. Against his will, she teleported straight to Nurse Redheart... or at least tried to before he grabbed her horn.
'WHAT ARE YOU-" They both teleported away to somewhere she wasn't expecting. They were on the Apple family barn. Twilight looked around, stunned. Inside where crates of missing posters for some purple pony, and next to those were hay bales and ropes. The floor was covered in hay, and there where wooden pens built around the left wall. Above the right wall was a first aid kit.
Twilight ran opposite to the left wall's strange design and grabbed the first aid kit. She could tell there was no use in trying to get to Redheart. He smiled as his eyes began to close. He was passing out.
The Doc woke up to an uncomfortable feeling around his wings. It took a few seconds for his eyes to adjust to the light of the barn. He was placed on top of an old hay bale with his only company being Twilight Sparkle and an old scarecrow with a tattered dark brown coat.
"Bloody fucking hell my head hurts," He said under his breath. Twilight turned her head. She didn't hear what he said, but she did hear him whisper something.
Twilight had a million questions to ask the strange pony messing with the scarecrows coat; Who are you where did you come from, how did you alter my teleportation spell with only your hooves, and why did he call her 'Marshmallow?'
"Who did you do that?" She decided to say without specification. The Doc darted his head towards her. He pushed the scarecrow down and stared at her with a confused face. He took a moment to think, and came to a conclusion of what she must have meant.
"If you mean the whole 'teleportation' think it's very simple, I knew you would take me to a hospital so I chose the one place you wouldn't expect: The Apple farms barn'." The Doc looked around. "And judging by my surroundings I think it's safe to say I did a speaking job of doing so."
Twilight was speechless, she tried to talk and ask for specifics but just the mear fact he had controlled sent chills down her spine. The Doc looked around the barn only for his eyes to fall upon the left wall stables. Something was wrong.
"So Ma- Twilight... Can you tell me what those are?" Twilight snapped out of her trance. She looked at where he was pointing his hoof. It was a strange thing to have built into your walls Twilight thought. She studied them thoroughly.
"I... don't know..." She sadly said. The Doc was picking up the scarecrow he dropped.
"There stables." The Doc removed the straw pony's coat.
"What's a... 'stable', and what's it used for?" The Doc was studying the coat, there were holes and tears at the bottom, but other then that, everything seemed fine.
"That's what I was scared of... I should have realized... this may be bad, but that's ok." He started putting the coat on his body.
"What are you talking about?" Twilight asked trying to think of what he meant.
"Ok, this is gonna sound like crazy and stuff, but magic plus dimension hopping is a no-no.-" The Doc sat up. "- You see, I'm from an alternate reality. I had... crashed into your world through a sort of vortex. When you started teleporting, I had to act fast and just forced you to change the location to the barn, however, being frown freshly out of reality made me temporally... 'Not compatible with this world'... After I forced you here, it also forced us to the reality next over. Understand?"
Twilight stared. She could not understand what was coming out of his mouth. He talked in such a strange way that she could bearly understand. He noticed.
"Ok... I'll explain more slowly. We in different world now, we not home. Big bad bad." Even though insulted, Twilight understood what this crazy guy was saying now.
"Got it, you were knocked on your head on the way down," Twilight said sarcastically. The Doc looked visibly more agitated.
"Stables." He said. "Ponies should not have stables in normal timelines. You clearly had no idea what they were and they don't look new. Also you-" He stopped. Right behind Twilight was a box filled with papers. He got up to inspect the crate.
"Hey, we're not done! What are you doing?" Twilight yelled. The Doc didn't listen and walked closer to the papers.
"Come. Over. Here." He said in a blank tone.
"What... what is it?" Twilight said visibly starting to worry. She walked over to The Doc and looked down. Her pupils shrank and her maw opened a jar. Inside the creat where missing posters with her face inside labeled 'Missing last seen Jan 26, 2012, the reward will be 200,000,000 bits with a chance to meet the Princess her self.'
Twilight stepped back. Something was truly wrong. She used her now depleting strength to look at the Doc and say
"what have you done..."
Pinkie Pie looked out the window to stare at the storm clouds as they rained. Next to her sat Pinkamina, starring with her in joy. They couldn't wait for everyone else to come, it would be so much more fun when more poney's joined them!
"So... how much longer till Surprise comes back with our friends?" Pinke said to Pinkamina.
"Not much longer, I made sure the... Terdis... TARDIS! I maid sure the Tardis would listen to Surprise as it flew. It know The Doc will be dead soon." Pinkamina said to Pinkie.
"This is gonna be so much fun" They said in unisen.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 2: A storm's brewing
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Twilight stared into the dark void of a sky. Just moments ago she had learned from The Doc that she was in a parallel world. Tears softly fell down her face.
"Ah you'll be fine, stop being such a big baby," The Doc whined behind her. Twilight turned to face him, daggers in her eyes.
"Fine?! How is being in another bucking world fine?!" Twilight yelled with all her strength. The Doc remained unfazed. He knew that if he had just let her take him to a hospital they may not have ended up this way... but he didn't care.
"Look-" he said as he straightened his bowtie. "-I see you're mad, but this is NOT my problem because you are not my Twilight. If you were her I probably would have started thinking of solutions by now, but you’re not and I don't give a fuck."
Twilight took a step back. Not because of what he was telling her, but because of a single 'choice' word he used.
"Did... you just say-" Twilight looked both ways. "-The 'F' word?” The Doc just stared at her with an angry scowl. He went back to the hay bale he was just on and sat down.
Twilight stared for a second before reaching her boiling point.
"Fine, stay here in this world for all I care you... you... LAZY PICE OF MHIT!!" Twilight boomed at him. The Doc remained expressionless. Twilight ran out of the barn to begin looking for a way home. After a few moments, a single piece of paper labeled 'anonymous' fell from the ceiling of the barn. The Doc grabbed it with his hoof and read aloud...
"Are you just gonna let her leave like that? What if she runs into Pinkamena?" it said. The Doc snickered at this.
"Please, like Pinkamena would just so happen to be in this timeline."
The Doc sat for a second thinking about the askes and how they usually know more than they let on. Then he started thinking about what usually ends up happening when something like this is asked.
"She's here, isn't she..." he said without expression. "Nope, I ain't getting stuck in a world with that psychopath. I guess it would be more of self-preservation to go join Twilight and get out of-" The Doc stopped. He realized what this meant. "If she's here... then that means..." The Doc's face lit up. "SEXY IS HERE!" The Doc ran out of the barn towards Twilight. He needed to finally introduce himself to her and gain some level of trust. He needed to use her.
Twilight was looking up and down the rows of decaying trees as she walked. The grass was golden brown and the apples were moldy and inedible. She saw old missing posters for her and her friends that made her stomach turn. After a while, she noticed Pinkie Pie was ironically missing from the missing posters. Before she could think of doing anything, the gray pony from before was flying towards her at full speed. He slammed right into her and they both flew straight into a tree.
"Ellow, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm The Doctor, but you can call me 'Doc'!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So... you think an evil Pinkie Pie is here with your magic box that's bigger on the inside and can travel between worlds?" Twilight said skeptically as she stared at the ground. The Doc smiled, ignoring her tone of voice.
"Yes, and based on what she told me there will be company. We better stay vigilant."
Twilight rolled her eyes. Was he serious about this, or did he really suffer from a bang on the head too hard? She would have left him at this point if he hadn't proven that they were in another world.
The Doc looked around as the walked out of Sweet Apple Acres. In the distance, he started to see Ponyville.
"Civilisation ahead, captain," he yelled. Twilight jumped at the sudden sound and looked up ahead. Shure enough, she saw Ponyville... but something was off. As they got closer they both began to see what was wrong; the buildings were decaying, the streets were empty and full of garbage and dead leaves, and finally, there was a trail of dried blood going towards Sugarcube corner. They both stopped and stared. This was a disaster.
Twilight finally believed The Doc fully. This was definitely bad news.
"If I were to guess, I think she’s in the big blood building," The Doc said sternly. He started to look a bit more brownish for a second, only to return back to gray. "Come on, we’re going inside," he told her. Twilight nodded, but before they could even begin walking, the Doc saw a shadow fly through the sky. Something was with them, and it looked happy.
"Twilight, we need to hide," The Doc said as he stopped walking. The rain began to pour.
"What do you mean? We're so close to your box thingy," Twilight said. The rain came down harder.
"Listen to me, it's not worth risking our lives right now. We need to go into that building next to us and hide." Clouds were starting to close in on them.
"Why? Because of the rain?" Twilight looked into his fear filled eyes. "... You saw something, didn't you?" A few clouds started to part behind Sugarcube corner to reveal a dirty-looking rainbow.
The Doc ran through the building's broken screen window to save himself, and Twilight followed soon after. They both hid behind an old bookshelf. Clouds began firing lightning strikes onto the road to where they needed to be.
"What are we gonna do?" Twilight whispered.
"I don't know, I'm thinking" The Doc replied.
Twilight felt her hooves starting to get colder the longer she stood still, and so were the Doc's. It took her a few moments to realize her hooves were colder than her body and look down. She held a tiny gasp.
"Doc," she whispered.
"Yes?"
"I think we may have a small problem..." She lightly used her front hoof to push his head down. His pupils dilated with disbelief. A fog of gray storm clouds were forming under them and began to rain and thunder.
"OW! " Twilight yelled. They began to strike lightning. The Doc jumped on top of the bookshelf and Twilight followed soon after. The fog started rising after them, taking its sweet time. Every passing second made the thunder and lightning stronger, deadlier. The Doc needed a plan, and fast. He tried to think of something to save himself when he remembered his 'secret weapon'. The Doc reached into his collar and pulled out the very iconic Sonic Screwdriver and began blasting the fog with sonic sound rays. The fog reacted by getting more agitated, but The Doc eventually found a way to settle it down and force it out.
Twilight looked at him, speechless. "Wow, you... you saved me".
"Sure... let's go with that..." The Doc replied. He needed her to trust him if he was to ever return home. If anything, she could be useful.
"Good job," a mysterious voice said. The Doc and Twilight turned their heads slowly towards the sound. Standing in around the rain and fog was... Rainbow Dash!
"DASHIE!" Twilight said excitedly. She flew towards her old friend.
"WAIT!" The Doc yelled, but he was tuned out by Twilight’s own thoughts. As soon as Twilight got close to Rainbow Dash, she was smacked in the face hard. Twilight fell to the ground, fog surrounding her. It shocked her wings and made her wince. She got a better look at her so-called friend. She was wearing a lab coat and a pair of goggles. Dashie was also smoking a blunt cigar and had a bloodshot left eye. She stood on her hind legs and held her right front hoof up. She had a remote control attached to her hoof and was smirking.
"What? Something wrong, Twi? Cat got ya tongue... and wings?" Her smirk grew wider. The Doc was fighting with himself if he should save Twi or not. He kept looking at her, helpless, scared... full of fear...
"I'm sorry you feel so... speechless about this. I was hoping to at least get a scream. Seriously... nothing? Maybe this will help." Dashie pressed some buttons on her controller and began the light show. Lightning kept repetitively striking Twilight’s wing over and over, stronger and stronger. Twilight finally began to scream. It was loud and blood-curdling. The Doc finally snapped, his coat turning a light shade of brown.
As soon as the light show stopped, the clouds began to swarm Twilight.
"Goodbye Twi, hope to see you-" Suddenly, The Doctor used his sonic to force the clouds away from his companion and swooped in to save her. Dashie looked... surprisingly pleased by The Doctor's flight abilities.
"Good technique, Doc," Dashie said in a calm yet joyful voice. "If only you worked for me, I would love to have someone like you at the factory."
"Tough luck," The Doctor yelled, only to swoop right past her and into a building near the edge of town. Dashie was happy. She was promised strong foes to fight in this game, and she was given some to play with. She couldn't wait to tell Pinkamena.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Doc slowly began turning back to his gray self. They dropped down near an old house and began to recover. Twilight couldn't feel her wings, The Doc felt like an idiot for saving her, and they now were farther away from the TARDIS. This was counterproductive. Having a compan- a partner almost cost them their lives. The Doc felt awful. He decided the least he could do was take her back to her home reality... if he could.
Later that night, Twilight and The Doc began their second attempt to enter Sugarcube Corner. Dash waited for them in the clouds, eyeing every nook and cranny she could see... They would need to take her out somehow. The two of them huddled up and began making their plan.
"Hey, slow wings," Twilight yelled. Dash ignored her, knowing it was a trap. There was nothing Twilight could say that would-
"Even Scootaloo is a better flyer then you!" Dashie’s eyes opened fully, and her smug smile vanished. Scootaloo... how long had it been since she heard that name? Six... seven years? How dare that purple pony disgrace Scootaloo’s name as an insult towards her... she will pay.
Dashie’s head turned like a broken machine towards Twilight. Twi felt a sense of danger creep along the back of her spine. Now she'd done it. Rainbow Dash swooped through the air and grabbed as many clouds as possible before using her remote to rapid-fire shots of lightning towards Twilight, who kept dodging.
"Surprise!" yelled The Doc as he locked his sonic to the frequency of the remote. He tricked her into giving him power over the clouds. The lightning stopped. Rainbow Dash regained her composure after seeing The Doc's smug face.
"Oh... man, wish we had someone like you on our side."
BANG!
Rainbow Dash was struck with enough lighting to paralyze her, but not to kill her.
Twilight was out of breath, and The Doc was scared out of his mind. While Rainbow was still breathing, the two of them believed her dead. The Doc was pleased by this idea, and Twilight was scared of it. Rainbow only smiled. This was the most fun she'd had in years.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pinkamena sat directly in front of the tinted window. She smiled, happy with what she had witnessed. Her last days alive were gonna be more fun than she could have ever dreamed. This was truly the best way to go, in her mind. She didn't think she could pull it off, especially with this generation of timelines starting to decay, but she had.
Pinkamena turned her head towards her other 'friends'. It was time to go over the new plan of action with the rest of them, just to make sure they didn't get in each other's way.
"After they enter, Cupcake will get the first stab at trying to kill them, and if she loses and they get to the ship thingy, it will be your turn, and if they beat you as well, we should reward them with their machine... After all, we don't need it anymore. We have exactly what we were looking for."
Everyone had a great big happy smile. This was the most fun they had in years.

Chapter 3: A dubbley sweet escape
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Door's to the aged bakery slowly opened with a creek. The Doc and Twilight walked as quietly as they could, their heads hung low. The room was quiet in sound, yet loud in personality. It was filled with old decorations and colorful tables decorated to look like strawberry cakes. The old display foods where covered in mold and smelled like a rot, it made both of them gag quietly to themselves. The two of them began to hear noise coming into the room from the kitchen. This made Twilight panic for a second before she noticed The Doc hiding under a table. He beckoned her to go hide as well, so she went under the table across from him.
The hoove steps where loud, The Doc could tell there where two ponies coming into the room. He peaked out of his table and felt both of his hearts stop. There, walking to Twilights table, where two Pinkie pies in identical uniforms. The only difference was their hair when it came to looks, but The Doc knew not to judge books by there covers.
"How long do we have to waaaaaaait, I'm boooooord..." The fluffy haired one said to Pinkamina. Pinkamina chuckled and replied in a taunting voice.
"Oh baby, don't worry, It will only be a few more hours before it truly begins! Soon, we can begin planning~" Pinkamina began kicking around Twilight just barely missing her every time. It took The Doc a few moments to realize that they knew Twilight was under there when they started looking down occasionally, yet Twilight was blissfully unaware of this fact being unable to see there faces. He tried to mouth to her that she's in trouble, but she was paying to much attention to the two mares to notice.
"Man, this sure is boring... maybe there's something I can do to pass the time?" Cupcake stated, starting to kick closer to Twilight's head.
"Oh? You think? I can quickly think of something... Hmmm?" Pinkamina pretended to start thinking, her eye's looking up at the ceiling, her mouth curving, and her front left hoof under her chin.
"OH, I KNOW!" Suddenly, Cupcake slammed her leg right into Twilight's chin, knocking it on the top of the table and causing her to pass out with blood coming out her nose. "I can bake some of me classic cupcakes! ~"
Pinkamina smiled a grim smile towards his table. This was the Doc's only chance to escape so he started crawling to the next table over through the back. Pinkamina started walking towards where he once was and jolted her head under the table, only to be infuriated to see nothing. Cupcake began dragging the body into the kitchen.
"Oh Doc, we know you won't just let her die... will you? If you do then you'll have to live with the fact that you even bigger coward then pony's thought you where. Maby I'll give you a mercy kill..." Pinkamina yelled as she regained her joy. She happily went up the stairs in the other room and left The Doc to his thoughts.
He was stuck between a rock and a hard place. He knew he could easily save Twilight, but he was scared to, he knew he promised to take her home to himself, but he couldn't move anymore. He hid his shameful face into his front hoove's. He felt something sticking onto his front hair and pulled it under to look at it without moving his head. It was an ask.
"Doctor, get up and help her! She's gonna get hurt if you don't."
"Hurt?" The Doc said. "Hurt is like saying having open heart surgery without anesthetic would feel like a pinch. No, she's gonna wait for Twilight to wake up so she can make her feel as much agony as possible." The Doc looked up. "She is also waiting to see if I'll save her, so she can make a double order." His mane and coat began to grow darker.
"It's pointless..." He sat for a few more moments before another ask fell down through a quick blue portal. He thought about the portal for a second and remembered someone. Someone close to him. He started to turn a dark brown.
Cupcake screeched two knives together to wake Twilight. The kitchen was overflowed with either moldy food or old uncleaned dishes. The window's where broken and the only working appliance in the room was... the brand new oven. Twilight was tied up and placed in a corner where she repeatedly struggled to escape.
Cupcake just smiled as she began retrieving her ingredients. Twilight noticed that she was getting twice as much as she needed. They were waiting for one last gray guest before any cooking could begin.
The Doc analyzed the situation, quickly forming a plan as best he could. He knew Cupcake would either beat him or scream at him to get the attention of Pinkamina. There had to be a way to do this. Another ask fell into his hooves and he read it with a smile.
Something whooshed above Cupcake making her smile grow larger. Her last guest had just tried to sneak past her, and she was gonna let him. She wanted him to untie Twilight, to try and fight, and to fail miserably. She couldn't wait to see the look on his face. She grabbed tried to grab her big knife, but someone took it. She smiled even wider, he was armed too~. She grabbed smaller but still sharper knife whilst picturing the death in all its gory details. Cupcake spun around violently towards Twilight and started stabbing the wind.
Nothing. Twilight was still tied up and alone. Cupcake was confused. She heard something go over her- Next to Twilight was a broomstick with a note taped to it. She tore the note off and read it. It was from someone named 'anonymous'.
"Yo Doc, why not steal her knife and get her whilst she's not looking?"
SLASH , blood dripped from her back. Behind her, was not The brown pony who was observing moments before, but a familiar gray one with an expression of pure hate. She almost screamed before The Doc stabbed the knife through the back of her through. Cupcake put her hoof on the bloody tip of the knife, she then proceeded to taste her own blood.
The Doc looked her dead in the eyes as she fell to the ground and decided to give her one last thing to remember just to wipe away that stupid smile.
"This was to easy. I can't see a reason to ever choose you, no one even remembers you or will ever remember you. Unlike me, you are NOT timeless." Cupcake remained smiling. She couldn't care less as she began to fade.
Twilight stared in horror. This was the pony she was trusting her life with, and he mercilessly killed somepony. She felt like throwing up, but couldn't do to the restraints. The Doc stared back at her with dead eyes. He went over to untie her so they could leave.
Dashie laid on the concrete outside. Nopony came to help her, they all thought she was dead. She had time to think to her self and began mumbling. Her mumbles where nothing more than incoherent nonsense. She tried to get up, but her body was still recovering. Those blasts did a number on her, but that wasn't the only thing that hurt. Her head. Her head was full of thoughts that brought her more mental pain than physical.
She was thinking about Scootaloo and her last words thanks to Twilight. Why? Why couldn't' she be like the others? Why couldn't she insulate her, or threaten her... but no. She complemented her. She was her hero, and she let her down. It hurt her to think about it, at least she got back at her self.
Three years after the incident, the Rainbow Factory was shut down and all its employees were sent to be executed... except for one. Dashie had escape knowing they were coming, after all, she was the one who summoned for them. They let her leave under the condition they would never see her again. Celestia and Luna made sure she knew that...
She needed to leave. Her guilt was bad enough, but thinking of Scootaloo and Celestia made her feel Queasy. She wouldn't even be here if Pinkamina hadn't blacked mailed her into joining. She needed to leave. Pinkamina doesn't need her anymore knowing how easily she can be defeated. She would kill her.
Twilight was still in shock over the dead body. She had never seen blood before and definitely never wanted to see it again. The Doc was forced to use his right wing to help guide her to the basement.
"I can't believe you couldn't handle a 'little' blood. I've seen much worse and let me tell you, there could have been a lot more." Twilight didn't respond to The Doc. She couldn't. Everything was happening so fast in her head that she was basically a vegetable.
The further they went down, the more Twilight regained her senses and the more a strange smell grew. It wasn't fowl or unpleasing, but rather nice and sweet like a child's imagination. It was welcoming. The Doc didn't trust it. It was too nice to be anything good, but he didn't want to freak Twilight out any more than she already was. He was scared of her running from him.
As soon as they made it into the basement, they could tell it wasn't left to rot like the rest of the world it lived in. All the old torcher weapons and chairs were recently placed into wooden crates and the walls where painted Prussian blue to mask the blood. And in the very back dimly lit by one of the last working lights, was the TARDIS.
"Ther you are se- umm... old girl." The Doc said quietly with a smirk on his face. He had completely forgotten about his fears and doubts when he saw her. They began to walk closer.
"Gha" Twilight yelled as she tripped over something lying on the ground. The Doc was quick to her side. He looked at her first to make sure she wasn't to hurt when he noticed how strong the pleasant smell was. He looked at what Twilight had tripped over and laughed.
"Haha, it's fine Twilight, look, you only tripped over some old licorice decoration. Fairly on one tho, must have been used to wrap around the edges of the corner during Winter's eve. Wonder why it smell's so good tho..." The Doc's smug look faded. He saw as the licorice began pulsating. He pulled Twilight behind him and watched in horror as the creeses within the red candy began to move like mouths with daggers for teeth. It wiped up and down before swiftly and stiffly fleeing into the shadows behind the crates.
"What was that?" Twilight asked. The Doc had no words... well I lied. He had one word.
"Run".
Twilight and The Doc began running towards the TARDIS. They were going as fast as they could before a mountain of licorice came out of nowhere and forcefully flung The Doc into one of the crates. Twilight was horrified. What was this thing? Why did it use licorice to attack? She would have thought of more questions if the gooey red candy hadn't started to go around her like a hungry snake. All the little mouths tearing at her skin. Drops of blood started to come out of her body as she screeched in pain.
"Nightmare night rebegins tonight..." Twilight grew tense. Something was singing, taunting, celebrating. Out of the shadows came a young looking mare. At first glance, she looked normal, until Twilight stared at her in the shadows. The mare was pink with red hair. Her right side of her skull was showing and her eyes were blue with jaked pink swirls. Her ears were ice cream cones with some strange clear substance attached around them like glue over crakes. Her neck was as swirly as a candy cane, and her legs were an assortment of candy's mixed with more cones. Twilight screamed in even more horror.
"Yummy yummy die little pony." She said. Her hair lifted Twilight up to let her see the demon change. Her mouth top mouth began to split into two pieces and go up, whilst her bottom lip mirrored its upper half going down. Twilight was no longer able to scream, she was petrified. There were rows and rows of sharp teeth ready to begin chewing. She closed her eye's.
"Oie, Diabetes the monster!" The Doc yelled as he charged with a meat cleaver in hoof. He sliced the creature hair and in screamed an unnatural scream of pain. He grabbed Twilight and ran. Twilight was beginning to bleed all over the freshly cleaned place and all over The Doc, tho he didn't seem to care.
"Ananta, quick, take her!" He said as he slammed the TARDIS doors open. He through Twilight in and almost entered himself if it hadn't been for the licorice around is back hoof.
"GAH," He said in surprise as he was dragged back to the creature. As he looked, he no longer saw a mare, but a glob of candy with fangs, organs, and a mouth ready to consume him. 'Great' he thought, 'I'm gonna die the shitty creepypasta way...'
As he was about to enter its gaping jaws, he remembered he still had Cupcake's knife. He swung it out and chopped another bit of the creature's licorice off. It screamed an even more agonizing yell. The Doc ran away from it. Just as he was about to enter the TARDIS, something flew into him, knocking him to the floor. When he looked up Pinkamina was standing above him, looking down.
"How's the view?" He said in a sarcastic tone to hide his fear.
"Look's like shit," Pinkamina replied. SHe helped him up. "If it make's you feel better, I told The Candy Mare to scidadle as a reward for hurting her twice in a row." Her smile was normal sized and clearly masking disappointment.
"Don't I feel special" The Doc said.
"You should, I'm having fun with you! I was thinking of even telling you a little secret."
The Doc was curious.
"Secret? What secret?" Pinkamina had him where she wanted him. She leaned in and whispered something into his ear. His eyes widened with fear and his mouth was slightly ajar. Pinkamina dumped him in front of the TARDIS and gave him one last message before she disappeared into the shadows.
"I'll see you soon! I still need to tell you the rules of my game." Pinkamina laughed a horrid laughe and vanished into the darkness from whence she came.
The Doc went into the TARDIS quietly and began to fly off when the emergency alarms began to go off. This knocked The Doctor back to his brown more capable self.
"By gorge-" he said "-She tampered with the TARDIS, she's gonna crash into some unlucky universe. Where gonna-"~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The TARDIS had crashed a few moments ago into a much more pleasant looking world. The sky was almost clear, the flowers where beautiful, and days like these made filly's feel like there in heaven. The only pony who didn't look like he wanted to be there was The Doc. He hated timelines like this, and for good reason: Joke Timelines where unpredictable and unstable. He stared off into of the edge of the cliff that he sat upon. He looked back at Twilight for sympathy but was upset to see her still poking around with there new captive.
It turned out the reason they crashed was dumb old Dashie had tried to stowaway on the back of The TARDIS to escape Pinkamina. To bad for her she looked at the Time Vortex and almost went insane, and also making her attack The TARDIS navigation system that was disguised as a light. When they crashed The Doc' found her unconscious and angerly tied her to a tree. He would have killed her or something, but he didn't want Twilight to see her body so soon after he killed Cupca- An evil Pinkie.
"Hey Doc," Dashie said in a sarcastic tone. "Didn't know you brought bondage on a first date, would have brought the stuff from home if ya told meeeEEE-ACK!" Twilight had hit her in the stomach.
"Don't listen to her, she's just trying to get in your head." The Doc stared at them, emotionless. He bearly had time to think with all the horrible things happening. First Twilight almost die's twice, and now he can't bring himself to tell her what Pinkamina told him. He didn't want to hurt her any more than she already was.
"Doc... You ok?" She said. He just kept staring at her with corpse-like eye's. After a while, he realized Twilight was getting worried and stopped. He wanted to make Twilight feel more comfortable, but he didn't know how... Then he looked at the cliff side Pony-Ville. Maby it was finally a GOOD thing to be trapped in a joke universe he thought.
"Hay Twilight... wanna... go explore?" He said clutching his teeth with a fake smile. Twilight nodded.
"Yo, what about me?" Dashie said smiling. If it hadn't been for the annoying sound in her voice, they would have thought she was happy.
The Doc thought for a second before turning to Twilight, then Twilight thought for a second before turning to Dashie, then The Doc said Dashie has no say in what they do, then he turned to some green pony who had been watching them since they crashed and he said
"I have an idea!"
Every pony stared at Dash. She was forced to stand on her hind legs as her front hooves were tied up. She looked uncomfortable with her 'friends' in this heavily populated town square. The Doc had changed his white color to a cool black one and fiddled with his sonic Pinkamina had broke whilst in The TARDIS. Twilight had placed her hair into a nice... Ponytail... The irony was not lost on everyone she paced. After they stared at Dashie they evidently started chuckling at Twilight, but she didn't mine, at least they were alive or not trying to kill her.
Eventually, some pony walked up to them. They where a brown earth pony with an American accent.
"Hey, umm... why is this pony tied up like this?" He asked. This caught The Doc off guard. He knew what this meant: The universe had thought of a punchline to the current situation. He needed to say something bland to kill the joke.
"Well, she-"
"I'm being forced into slavery." She said. Everyone went dead silent. The Doc's eyes widened and Twilight's jaw dropped. Dashie was looking as calm as ever after saying that. The earth pony stared at them for a second completely unfazed.
"Well if you want to sell em quick, I recommend going to Starlight Glimmer or Fluttershy. Herd they have tones of those guy's and they... 'Runaway' on a daily basis. Good luck to ya" He said before leaving. Now Dashie was wide-eyed. After a few seconds, she even started laughing hysterically to the point of falling over.
"What the ~~BUY SOME APPLES~~" The Doc screamed before closing his jaw. No... He wasn't...
"~~YAY~~" He was. He's being censored.
" ~~YAY BUY SOME APPLES FRIDGE FUDGE BUTT H E C K OFF HAY VSACUE MICHLE HERE FORK KNIFE IS A AWFULL GAME GRAMMER you aren't reading this ;) <----- 4th wall goes here and repeat to make look longer.YAY BUY SOME APPLES FRIDGE FUDGE BUTT H E C K OFF HAY VSACUE MICHLE HERE FORK KNIFE IS A AWFULL GAME GRAMMER you arent reading this ;) <----- 4th wall goes here and don't repeat to make look longer.~~" Now Dashie and Twilight where fallen over with laughter. As much as The Doc hated the reason, at least she was happy.
Rarity's boutique looked so beautiful 5 years ago, but ever since the 'incident', a wall of electric fence had been built around it. Rarity was taking Sweetie through the open fence gate.
"SISTER UNITE RARITY, I CAN NOT WAIT TO PLAY WITH FRIENDS TODAY." She said in her normal cute and cuddly nonrobotic voice. "I HAVE BUILT THE BEST GAME CALLED FRIND_TAG_FUN_HUG_APPLE_SCOOT_V3_NOT RELEVENT_LONG_TITLE.EXE. I HOPE THEY LIKE IT!" Rarity didn't bag an eye to her and just said ok. She had only recently learned Sweeties secret and wasn't ready to tell anyone else, especially Apple Jack. If the 'Great Robot War' had never happened and Apple had never committed those war crimes on robots, maybe she would not have been so paranoid about letting Sweetie on her own at the farm, but she was and the war did happen.
"SISTER UNIT, ARE YOU OK? YOU SUDDENLY STARTED MALFUNCTIONING AND LOOKED AT THE SKY." Rarity snapped out of her trance.
"Oh sorry, was just thinking about something. You have fun" Sweetie began to leave when Rarity started feeling saddened.. almost like she wasn't gonna see her again and that time was short. "Sweetie?" She called. Sweetie toped and turned around.
"YES MO-ERROR-SISTER UNIT?" She said.
"I love you..."
"I LOVE YOU TO MOTH-ERROR-SISTER UNIT!"
The Doc and the gang stopped for lunch. At first, the constant swearing was funny for Twilight and Dashie, but then after the millionth time of him trying there faces molded into anger. They sat three tables away but still could hear him trying to get the universe to trip up and let him swear.
"So... wanna untie me so I can punch him?" Dashie said with a stern expression.
"If I wanted to, I could hit him my self, but I don't want to be rude about his langued again..." Twilight replied equally angry. Just as she said that Dashie grabbed a salt shaker with her mouth and threw it at The Doc. He stared at them angerly, but they looked away as innocently as possible.
"Ok, wanna help me eat the food when it comes? Don't worry, unlike the Pinkies, I don't bite." She said with a wink. Twilight looked uncomfterble now after the comment.
The food came and Twilight looked pleased by it due to it being so proper looking compared to the stuff from her world. She was about to dig in when she looked at Dashie.
"Hay I was kidding, I do bite and I'm just gonna use my wings." Twilight nodded before realizing what was just said. They forgot to tie up her wings. Dashie wiped them out and used them like hoofs to eat her salad. Twilight just stared.
"What? You and The Doc are basically my bodyguards for now until I find a Timeline I like. Hopefully one without pony trafficking." She continued eating.
On the other table, The Doc was still whispering swears to try and get one out uncensored and didn't notice Dashie eating.
"ERROR: ANOMALY DETECTED IN CLOSE RANGE" The Doc stopped out of surprise. He looked over at Twilight and Dashie and they hadn't heard the robotic voice they where actually starting to have a pleasant conversation...
"Hey, why is Dashie's wings out-"
"ANOMALY, PLEASE LEAVE BEFORE I HAVE TO USE DRASTIC MEASURES!" The Doc looked behind him and saw the top of a white filly. He tilted his head down and saw... Sweetie bell?! No... something was wrong, but the Doc couldn't figure out what...
"OH SORRY, I THOUGHT YOU WHERE NOT A PONY UNIT BUT I WAS WRONG AND NOW IM SAD. ACTIVATE SAD MODE" Sweetie's eyes went into a sad looking position. The DOc just stared at her, maybe it was the way she spoke like a...
"Robot!" The Doc yelled. Sweetie's eyes went wide with... fear?
"ROBOT! WHERE!? I HATE ROBOTS, WE WERE IN A WAR WITH THEM AND THEY MAKE ME GO INTO HATE.EXE AND MAKE AN AGREY FACE!" Sweetie said. The DOc just stared blankly.
"The joke is you don't... No what? Nevermind." The Doc went to eat his butter stick and pear juice. Sweetie looked at him confusedly then just shrugged. She walked past Twi-
"ERROR: ANOMALY DETECTED IN CLOSE RANGE" Twilight spat out her food after hearing this. Dashie just stared at the filly like she was abstract art. The Doctor looked brighter. He gave a chuckle as he took a sip of his juice.
"Ew pear."
Apple Jack was having Apple Bloom forcibly polish her soldier badges when she realized Sweetie wasn't there yet. She walked out of the house to try and see if she was coming, but only the wind decided to show.
'Sis, I need some-GACK!" Apple Jack looked back at the front door. "Sorry, tripped. Say, could you get me some more cleaning supplies from the barn" Apple Bloom said in an out of character jolly voice. Apple Jack knew better, they had no cleaning supplies except for a rag and a bucket, they only used Apple family spit.
"Sure sugar cube..." Apple Jack said before walking towards the house. She peeked into the room and saw a horrid sight. Apple Bloom's head was half eaten and decapitated, and Apple Jack was furious.
"Apple Bloom you idiot, your blood stained my badges! Come back to life right now like Granma or I'm gonna have to whoop your "~~YAY~~!!!" What Apple Jack saw next must have freaked her out, because she began running away from the barn. There where two creatures watching her and they both decided to give her a head start. The tall one went first, followed by the loud one. As Apple Jack ran she heard two voices.
"Yummy yum yum, in my tum," said the first but that didn't scare her. What did make her cower was the other one. The blue one. The one that made her remember all her crimes. Her nightmares came true: They were back.
"CRUSH. KILL. DESTROY. SWAG. CRUSH. KILL. DESTROY. SWAG"
The Doc stared at Twilight and her new friends. Dashie was laughing and Sweetie was playing with the ropes she untied with her mouth. Twilight was telling a story from her childhood, and Sweetie didn't pay attention. He was about to go over and yell at Twilight for trusting the murderous version of Rainbow Dash when he heard somepony screaming.
"Tere back!" she yelled. "The Robot's are back!!" Sweetie finally looked away from her rope, Twilight looked at Sweetie, and Dashie stared at The Doc as he looked at the pony running towards them. It was Apple Jack, and she looked horrified.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Half the town was in ruin. In only a matter of minutes, The Candy mare and R-Dash 5000 had destroyed everything they could get their hooves on. The Doc, Twilight, Dashie, Sweetie Bell, and Apple Jack where hiding in Surgarcube Corner. The Doc was watch due to the fact that he was hiding under the window, Dashie was defence because she made sure to take all the knives she could as soon as they go in, Twilight was medic because she didn't want to do anything else, and Sweetie was helping Twilight patch up the small cut's Apple Jack got.
"Gha!" Apple whisper-screamed. "Can yall be a bit more carefully about tending my wounds? Man, if Rarity where here, she would... actually, scratch that. I don't know what she does anymore..." Apple Jack looked at Sweetie.
"RARITY" Screamed Sweetie in surprise. "WE NEED TO SAVE MY SISTER UNIT FROM THE BAD PONYS".
"No. It's too dangerous out there and no one is leaving until we can make a break for The TARDIS." The Doc said using his most annoyed tone he could muster to hide his fear. He didn't care if she was a robot, Neurosurgeon was a robot and he still felt- "Neo!" The Doc yelled remembering his friend. He reached for his broken sonic and stared solemnly at it. His friend may be gone and he completely forgot about him again . What a terrible pony he turned out to be.
Sweetie realized this was her chance to sneak out and save Rarity.
"I'LL BE BACK," Sweetie said out of nowhere. Twilight said ok and Dashie looked out of the kitchen to watch Sweetie... and to try and learn what she was doing? Sweetie walked right past the saddened Doc and into the street. Every pony in the Corner (even the still crying Doc) looked out the window, with The Doc not knowing what he was looking for. Then he spotted Sweetie walking up to R-Dash 5000 and felt one of his heart's stop.
"CRUSH. KILL. DE-"
"HELLO," Sweetie said politely. R-Dash looked at her, their head doing a full 180 followed by there body.
"YOU WILL BE KILLED" It yelled before firing an eye laser. Everyone gasped with jaws wide opened. Sweetie was unharmed.
"What the-" Apple said. "How did she, why, un, she's not...... How!?"
Sweetie started walking towards R-Dash.
"YOU ARE A BAD PONY BOT," She said, her voice starting to get a bit deeper and her eye's glowing red. "YOU ARE SCARING AND HURTING EVERYPONY AND IT'S BAD. I WILL NOW GO INTO KILL MODE"
Everyone stared. Kill mode? What was that? They knew kill was in the title, but the only one with a face of fear was The Doc's. Everyone else was confused, but they could feel a long battle coming on. The suddenly, it dawned on Apple Jack what was happening, even if she didn't want to believe it.
"No... she can't be..." Apple said. Just as she said that Sweetie retaliated by shooting a huge round of bullets from a turret that popped out of a compartment on her back right into the blue dumb bot, pushing them back a few paces from where they where. R-Dash was surprised to see the dent's in her body but wasn't deturned from the challenge.
"She is... She's a damn dirty Robot!!" Apple yelled and almost ran out to kill her, but Dashie of all ponies grabbed her by the hair.
"Don't," she said. "That dumb filly's doing a dumb thing fighting for her sister who's probably dead. Trust me, I of all ponies know's how it feels to... 'Hurt' young ponies like that, even if they're made of metal. Trust me and don't." Dashie puled on the hair just enough to show who was in charge. "Got it?" Apple noded.
Outside, the battle was still waiting behind a standoff. The Bot's where waiting for the other to attack first. They stared, hoping to catch the other off guard.
Sweetie struck first, jumping up and shooting a laser out of her horn towards her opponent.
R-Dash jumped out of the way and flew towards the filly. She grabbed the young mare and slammed her to the ground. Then, R-Dahs Started flying up towards the ejected the smaller bot off of her. Sweetie, unfazed, decided to fight flying with flying.
"HOVER MODE," She said, then fire began to shoot out of her hooves. She flew straight into the blue dud and began going flying down.
R-Dash tried to escape the filly's grip, but it was too late. Sweetie slammed them both into the ground right in front of Sugarcube Corner. Sweetie jumped up, along with R-Dash... only R-Dash was missing something... Her jetpack was completely smashed. Now Sweetie did it.
R-Dash Charged towards the filly who had not even received a scratch the entire time. It began to shoot more lasers out of there eye. Sweetie nearly avoided every shot. For once, R-Dash couldn't hit something smaller than her, and this made them mad.
Finally, Sweetie went for another attack. Her yellow glass mouth flipped up and the sides of her head split in the same direction. Out of the gaping hole was a small cannon with three settings; Saw, Fire, and Metal.
Sweetie began to shoot saw blades out towards R-Dash. R-Dash was able to avoid half of the blades, but the other half that hit her scratched up her sides... and cut off her left front hoof.R-Dash tried to move, but couldn't. She fell over and began to twitch.
"WHaAat, ErREeo, Are<povenvoi, Y-YOU?!" R-Dash asked, feeling something new inside of her: Fear.
Sweetie walked above her and stared straight into her eye.
"I AM SWEETIE. I AM RARITY'S SISTER. AND I DON'T LIKE MEANIES LIKE YOU. YOUR MOVE, CREEP" She said in her deepest possible robotic voice. R-Dash 5000 just stared, then her stare began to glow, then a powerful laser blasted Sweetie into the sky.
Sweetie was blasted off back into the sky. This time she wouldn't fly, this time she let her self fall. She fell, heads first towards the ground.
R-Dash learned that too late as Sweetie fell horn-first into her chest. R-Dash started to twitch and short circuit, oil leaking out of the wounds. Then she went completely numb. Her eye turning off one last time.
"ASTALAVISTA, SCUM BAG." Everyone just stared. The Doc turned tword's Dashie, she looked very pleased. Next he turned twords Apple Jack, who was rethinking her whole life. The Doc came to a final desition in his head that Sweetie Bot was comeing with them... No matter what.
Everyone was following Sweetie as closely as possible. They walked past destroyed building's and trashed roads as everything around them resembled the world prior that The Doc was in. Every once and a while, everyone was forced to stop due to Twilight's constant need to help injured ponies around them.
Sweetie agreed to travel with The Doc and friend's if Rarity was allowed to come. The Doc protested of course, but due to the need for some kind of muscle, he agreed... Also Twilight hit him in the rib's to make him say yes.
As they got to Rarity's home, they saw it was the only building not destroyed. Dashie stared at the electric gates with a blank expression.
"What's wrong?" Twilight asked. Dashe didn't respond. Twilight decided to stay outside with Dashie to see what was bothering her. Apple Jack, The Doc, and Sweetie went into the fancy white and blue shop. Sweetie walked in first and began to look around. Everything was untouched. Apple Jack went in next and looked behind her. The Doc had stopped too, what it looked like, admire the fence.
When he looked back at the door, Apple Jack slammed it and turned the lock. The Doc hurried over and began to bang at the door.
"What the ~~O O F~~ are you doing?!" He yelled. Apple didn't reply. She went over and grabbed the gun she knew Rarity kept taped under her desk and began to load it. Sweetie was completely oblivious to what was happening and started walking up the stairs. Apple Jack followed.
"Let me in! You need to listen!" The Doc yelled. Twilight ran over with Dash towards her yelling friend.
"Doc, what's wrong?" she said. He turned his head towards the two, eye's full of worried, and told them exactly what was making him yell so much.
"The gate," he said. "The gate has n-no power. It-it's a trap for Sw-Sweetie." Twilight stared. Why would they want to trap Sweetie, she thought. As if Dashie could read minds, she turned towards Twilight with an unamused expression.
"Don't ya see? The kid's a threat. She threw beat down that powerful mare from before, and now they want to kill her." Twilight was stunned. Then she noticed someone missing.
"Wait..." She said. "Where is Apple Jack?" The Doc turned his head back in her direction. He looked even worse now. It only took Twilight a nanosecond to figure out where the pony had gone.
"We need to get inside," she said to The Doc and Dash.
"We could fly up to the roof and break in?" Dashie said. Twilight held up her currently useless wings and angerly glared at Dashie.
"She's right..." The Doc whispered. Suddenly, he spun around and stared at the group. "Okay, everypony, Dashie and me will try to break in on the roof. Twilight, go looking for another way in. Don't bother with the windows, I tried as soon as I realized the door was locked. There bulletproof. Maby you will have better luck than me."Before Twilight could say a word, The Doc flew up into the air and Dash followed soon after.
"So ya trust me?" She said with a smirk and a wink. The Doc stared at the blue pegasus with an emotionless face.
"No, I don't. The only reason I don't throw you out or worse is because of the fact your using Twilight as a friend shield, and the reason you're helping me is that Twilight can't. Understand?" Dashe noded with her smirk slightly shrinking. What did he mean by 'friend shield'?
Earlier today, Apple Jack was running faster than the royal guard after learning about her war crimes, and that was fast. However, she was going to fast to realize the long red string coming from out the trees. She tripped and fell on her face. The string then proceded to tie around her like a snake and force its self down her throat to keep her silent.
As she struggled, she finally got a good look at her pursuers. The first was the tall pink pony who's hair was flowing all around, happy to see a treat. The second made her struggle harder when they were confirmed a robot. She closed her eyes waiting for her long and painful death, but it never came. Instead, a voice came out of the woods.
"Hello, Apple Jack." Pinkie? What was that gypsie doing here? Where these her creations? What's happening? She opened her eyes to see a strange sight. It was Pinkie, but she was standing behind another pony. This other pony was white and had yellow hair similar to what Pinkie normally wore, but it appeared like Pinkie was letting it down today.
"I bet you wonder why we have you in this spot right now?" She said in Pinkies voice. Apple Jack nodded. "Oh silly candy mare, we know you're happy to be free from that mortal prison, but please don't go so overboard." As if it was a threat, The Candy Mare winced a bit and released the pony from her grasp. Apple Jack coughed for air.
"What do *Cough* you want *Cough Cough*?" The white mare smiled.
"Easy, I want your help." Apple stared at her. As if her stare said a thousand questions, the mare explained. "You see, there is a very very dangerous wartime Robot in your town. If she is left alive, then she will kill us all. My name is Surprise I'm an antie robot cop and I'm here to help." Apple Jack let out a sigh. It was just the Robot police. Apple Bloom must have done been conspiring with the root and needed to die. It all made sense now. Surprise smiled.
"What ya need me to do sugar cube?" Apple Jack said with her voice quickly back to its proper form.
"We have exactly two plan's to kill this threat," Surprise replied. "Plan A is to have our highly trained soldier in her... Battle armor over their trick them into coming out." She pointed over to R-Dash 500. They stood motionless, almost as looking offended to the point of petrification.
"And if she fails, Plan B will be to take rick them into going somewhere discrete. Like, say a shop of some kind... Oh, I know!" Surprise leaned into Apple Jack's ear and whispered something vile to her. The Candy Mare leaned in and R-Dash followed soon after.
Apple Jack smiled. Looked like her war crime day's where still coming.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In The Borealis's basement cargo hold, The Candy mare laid down to rest. The reason she was down in the cargo hold rather than with her other "guests" was simple; She tries to kill them. That wouldn't have been a problem if she hadn't succeeded at least three times. Now she was forced away, where none could be seen or eaten by her. As she rested, her body twitched and shake as if she was both possessed and cold.
If you were to look at her for a little bit, you would imagine she must be going through some sort of pain... right? Well, in actuality she was doing quite well. In fact, she never felt happier. With every passing twitch, her smile grew and her color darkened. At first, the change was bearly noticeable. She was acting strangely not chasing after Dashie and the others but it wasn't to big a deal. Then when she got back on The Borealis, she silently went to the storage room. This was a shock to everyone. She hated being in that room. They would have inspected more if they cared... but they didn't.
The Candy mare was almost completely colorless now. The only exception was black, white, and gray replacing all the candy-themed colors like a virus. The Candy mare was feeling so at peace, that she decided to do something she hadn't done in a long time; sleep. She fully closed her eyes and began to drift off into dreamland. Something was definitely wrong with the famous slasher demon.
Surprise had no time to care about her possible Candy mare problem brewing because she was too busy trying to plan out her next move. She had papers upon papers with different names on them just scattered among the captain's room. She was trying to find her next player, but no one fit the bill. She needed someone either impossible to control to show how powerful she was, or easy to control for convenience. She ended up choosing to be convenient this one time and was searching for something to act as a simple goon.
"Ask-King-Sombra? No, his timelines story is over... Grogar? Naw, too much of a chore to control, maybe next time... Oh for the love of, come the fuck on!" Surprise was at a wit's end. Again, somepony had slipped in "Adapting to the night"! into her pile and she was pissed. That story had no real villains she cared for to add to her party! She was planning on having a cool showdown there sometime in the future, but now she was rethinking this decision. She was about to remove the paper when she noticed the chapter: Adapting to the night Chapter 2, Midnight thirst.
Surprise hadn't read this one yet. It looked important so she decided to make sure she was keeping up with the world's lore and read it.
"Ok, let's see here... page 1-5 seem to be readable... So some gray pie sister wanna be is running from three shadowy figures... One punches her and Viynal watches from the roof like a creep. Seems normal so far... Holy fuck, Viynal killed that blue one! Man, don't feel too sorry for him... kinda..." Surprise paused. She didn't like seeing those who were born only to die. It bothered her how that they were so similar to her self. She was a placeholder never meant to live... and it made her mad. She wanted to go into a full fit mode, but she decided to keep reading.
"Ok, so two of the three fucking ponies are dead... Wait! Don't charge at her! No Viynal please don't-" She put the papers down. She remembered how Luran broke her wings to keep her from leaving, she remembered having to name her self because no one cared, she even remembered how she tried to fight Lauran and was almost burnt to a crisp. This was why she hated reading about these pointless characters, they made her want to help them. After a breather and a swig of alcohol, she picked up the last readable page. She read it quietly in her head, tears forming as she went on.
The thing that made her feel most immersed was you were supposed to want Viynal to kill her. What made her feel so sympathetic was how she related in her head how the broken legs were like her broken wings, or how the death was slow and dragged out by two pages... She wanted to help this pony, and she knew how to do it.
The Ghost of Heartwarming eve was very kind to let Surprise see the spirits of the multiverse. She stared into the void of soul and waited for the ghost to tell her with one was the goon with no name. They were in a plan snowy area with only one remarkable feature. The pit of souls. A green pit filled with a copy of every pony who ever died in any timeline. Surprise knew she would be back one day, but today she was here with permission. She had triked The Spirit.
"There," Said the spirit. "That one is the soul you seek to say goodbye to." The Spirit raised her scythe and pulled the soul out of the pit. As the soul entered the light, it began to grow into a full-fledged pony. First, its bones began to fill the see-through body, then it's mousles and organs, and finally the skin, hair, and cutie mark. She was the color Lilac, and her hair was the shade Wine-berry. He cutie mark was of a heart that was half light purple and half dark purple stitched together. She was exactly who Surprise was looking for, and it almost made her cry.
"May I talk to my friend alone?" Surprise said with tears in her eyes. The Spirit nodded and went on her way, trusting the strange pony.
"Hello," Surprise said calmly. "My name's Surprise, will you please wake up so I may talk to you?" At first, the goon just layed down on the snow, but after a while, she finally started to gain back consciousness and got to her hoofs.
"Where... where am I?" She said in a concerned tone. She looked around. "Am... am I d-dead?" She said beginning to remember the pain. "No- no... I don't want to be dead" she said with tears strolling down her face. "I don't want..." Surprise was prepared, she walked up to the pony.
"There there. I'm Surprise, and I'm here to save you." She said. The goon looked at her with a glimmer of hope in her eye.
"W-what do you mean by 'save'?"
Surprise smiled the first genuine smile she had in years.
"Why, I mean I'm going to get you out of here." She said. "I have a ship and it can travel anywhere I want. I want to help save you from-"
"Why?" The goon said. Surprise was ironically unsurprised by the question. She looked the goon straight in the eyes.
"What is your name?" She said to the goon.
"That's easy I'm... I'm..." The goon tried to remember her past, but she couldn't remember anything other than 'that night'. She stood still, trying so hard to remember who or what she was, but she couldn't.
"That's why I have come to help you. You have no past. You only existed to die on the street of some dirty town. You where nothing." The goon began to cry, but Surprise held her hoof up. "You were nothing, but I want to fix that." The goon looked her in the eyes. Now Surprise was getting somewhere.
"I'm listening." The goon said to Surprise.
"Let's make a deal. If you join my ship and help me with any task I do, I will give you three things: A name, a story, and revenge on Vi- that white unicorn." Now she had the goons attention.
"W-what's the c-catch," She said with a little fear in her voice.
"If you say no, I will push you back into this pit myself." The goon turned around and looked at the bottomless pit. She gulped and decided to go with Surprise. After all, she seemed nice.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter. Chapter 6: To leave a crumbling world.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sweetie ran up the stairs into her sister's room. She was relieved to find Rarity non-suspiciously standing in a dark corner that she couldn't help but ignore the banging on the roof.
"Hello Sweetie," it said in an unnatural tone. Sweetie was even happy happier than before. Her front hooves doing a little dance.
"MO-ErEOeoR-SISTER UNIT YOU ARE OK AND UNHARMED!" Sweetie said very happily.
"Yes, I am." Rarity stated. She wasn't moving and Sweetie was starting to notice.
"ARE YOU SURE YOU ARE OK RARITY? YOU ARE STANDING REALY-" Bang! Sweetie was shot in the ear. The bullet had managed to pierce her left ear. Sweetie was stunned. Not by the bullet, but by who shot it.
Apple Jack grinned from ear to ear. She was so glad Rarity's gun still worked. It was a gun specifically designed for the Robot Pony war, and she always kept it in case they returned.
Sweetie was shook. Her hooves quivering as she looked at her big sister for help that never came. After a few moments, a strange black liquid came down from the hole in her ear. Fuel. This was all the evidence Apple Jack needed to fire another round into her back.
"Apple Jack, we need her alive." Rarity said. Sweetie fell to the floor and turned her head up towards her sister. Only now did her sensors pick up the stench of cand. Something was wrong. Rarity would never let anything candy related into her room. Candy make's her figure bad. Before she could say anything, Apple Jack shot again.
"Apple Jack, if you shoot one more time, I will use drastic measures." Apple Jack looked up from Sweetie. Her brow angry and her lips smiling. She pointed the gun towards Rarity.
"I don't care anymore," she said. "I'm gonna kill this abomination, and now that I have a weapon and you don't, I'll kill yall too!" It didn't take long for a red piece of licorice to slither towards her. It wrapped around her front hoof that was holding the gun first before going around her whole body. 'Rarity' smiled. She finally had an excuse to kill this pathetic piece of life.
Apple Jack was lifted into the air and slammed against the walls. As this was happening, Rarity's body began to shift and morph in uncomfterble and unpleasing way's. Her body landed on a spider-like creature made entirely out of candy. The Candy mare was happy to finally have something to dig into. Apple Jack was thrown forcibly on the ground. The Candy mare lowered her head to the floor and opened her mouth. As she dragged Apple Jack into her gaping maw, a trail of Apple family blood was created to signify the trip. Sweetie saw it all, including what came next to cause such loud screams.
Twilight was looking for a way in when she heard Apple Jack's scream of terror and agonizing pain. Hearing this made her panic and begin hitting the windows. As The Doc stated, they would not budge or break. This was infuriating, another version of her friend was in trouble, and she could do nothing.
"Hay Twilight you don't look so good," said a familiar and peppy voice. Twilight almost jumped out of her skin hearing the pony speak. She turned slowly to see Pinkie pie standing behind her with a goofy smile. Well, shit.
"N-no... I... G-get aw-away from-" Pinkie put her hoof on Twilight's mouth.
"It's ok Twilight, I'm not the bad me! I'm the me me." She smiled proudly. Twilight was both relieved and confused by the statement. Pinkie lowered her hoof.
"What does that mean?" Twilight asked. Pinkie smiled.
"The spirits said you say that!~" She did a happy dance before turning towards the reader. "Psst, I know things are moving kinda slow, but that's why I'm here! I'm just gonna quickly speed things up and let her in. Oh, also spoiler alert about Apple Jack, even though she's dead, if you watched Friendship is Witch Craft you would know that doesn't mean gone!" Twilight didn't understand a word she said. Pinkie looked down at her self and went wide-eyed.
"Oh wait! silly me, I wanted to dress up since there where other Pinkies, hold on."Pinkie said.
In between paragraphs, Pinkie got changed into a Gypsie outfit she saw in some fan art once.
Twilight was almost Stunde at how fast she got dressed.
"Anyways, we just gotta get you in here first, then I'll go help the suckers on the roof! Hold on" Pinkie said as she lifted Twilight.

"Pinkie let me down!" Twilight yelled. Noone, not even Pinkie, paid any attention.

"Hold on Twilight, where just waiting~," Pinkie said.

"For... what?"

A chunk of the wall started to disintegrate into nothingness. Twilight stared in aww.
"Oh, you made the wall vanished right-Gah" Twilight said as she was thrown into the shop.
"Nope," Pinkie said. "Reality is collapsing. I was just counting down until the wall stopped existing. Anyways, you better get out of her with Sweetie before everything turns into a void. I'm gonna exit through my own measures. Seeya~" And just like that Pinkie was- "Oh, almost forgot to help The Doc!" Pinkie said as she vanished between words.
The Doc and Dashie where hitting the roof with both, all there might and big metal rod they found.
"Bloody ~~"H E C K"~~ this stupid roof is indestructible!" Dashie was panting. She was out of breath form how much works was required to even make a scratch.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH IT HURTS OH GOD HELP ME AAAHHHHHHHHHH" Was the screech they heard from inside the shop. It was Apple Jack's voice. She was in trouble.
"This ain't good, right Doc?" Dashie said, a bit shaken up by the sudden loud noise. "Doc? You ok?" The Doc was hyperventilating on the other side of the mare into a paper bag he just so happened to have. He lowered the bag as soon as he noticed her looking at him.
"I'm fine... I just need a b-break..." He said as he sat on the roof.
"A break? Doc, a break is for the week! At The Rainbow Factory, we only take breaks when we go home for the night and are no longer able to work. We can work now maggot! This is an-"
"Sorry to cut you off," said Pinkie as she walked up the side of the building. The Doc and Dashie stared at her with concern a confusion. "Sorry, forgot I just came up here to get dressed into a Gypsie outfit whilst I help Twilight~," She said. "Time's a bit wonky in our reality, so I decided to get changed in a different section of the story so she doesn't see me."
"What the ~~"This joke is dead and I killed it"~~." Before he could say anything else, Pinkie was gone.
"What just..." Dash said before noticing her walking back up the other side of the building.
"Ok, Almost forgot~" She said with a smile.
Twilight ran up the stairs. She had checked around the bottom floor for too long when she saw blood dripping down the stairs. When she got to the top, her eyes widened with complete horror. The upper part of Apple Jack's body was being held upon the empty door frame, organs hanging down dripping the blood from before. Twilight held the urge to barf. She walked under the body and towards the white filly lying down on the ground.
"Sweetie? Sweetie! Sweetie, please wake up," She said in a care-filled whisper. It was no use, Sweetie was powered off to keep from more fuel from coming out her body. Twilight looked around the room. She and sweetie were the only ones there. After a few moments, it finally caught up to Twilight that something had to kill Apple Jack and Tie her up.
When Twilight turned around she noticed the thick red strings tied to her former farming friend. Oh no. The strings let go of Apple JAcks body and she fell to the ground. They then slithered up the walls like snakes. Whet Twilight saw next almost made her scream: The Candy mare had spread her body open and used it to cover half the roof. Dangling from her mouth was one of Apple Jack's legs, which was quickly slurped up and chewed in a matter of seconds. Twilight tried to pick up Sweetie and run, but it was too late. The Candy mare slammed down on top of Twilight, her organs staining the mares purple coat. Twilight finally let out a loud scream. The Candy mare laughed at her fear. She would have taunted her longer, but she was hungry.
What neither of the two noticed at first, was the roof turning to dust, and a Pink mare holing up two pegasi. After Twilight noticed in the corner of her eye, she screamed.
"Doctor!!" She yelled. The Candy mare turned her head a full one-eighty just in time to see The Doc and Dashie being hurled into the room. Dashie fell into a corner, whilst The Doc slammed hard into The Candy mares head.
"Hey Doc!" Pinkie yelled, "I gotta warn you about your blo-" She stopped her self from spoiling something to the viewer. "Ops, sorry. I'll go now! See you all in a future chapter where you'll need me~" Pinkie said before leaving.
The Candy mare wasted no time at all and stuffed one of The Doc's wings in her mouth and bit down hard. She wouldn't let him leave this time. To no one's surprise, The Doc screamed due to the pain and blood loss.
"Hay Queen of diabetes!" Dashie yelled as she ran towards The Candy mare. The mare let go of The Doc's wing and swung its self in an extremely unnatural way in the direction of Dashie, only to have her eyes sliced by a bit of glass Dashie broke off of Rarity's mirror. When The Candy mare scrambled to fix its eyes, Dashie grabbed Twilight, Sweetie, and The Doc and flew out of the building.
The Candy mare's eyes began to heal. As she looked up towards her prey and smiled. She was so busy planning to kill them next time, that she didn't notice her back right hoof turning a tinny bit darker in color.
Everyone was safely back inside The TARDIS. Dashie was fixing Sweetie, Twilight went into a show to clean her self, and The Doc was talking to Ananta. Of course, only he could see her, so he looked absolutely crazy talking to an hourglass.
Sweetie began to power up and was very happy to see Dashie, but less so when she didn't see her sister.
"RAINBOW?" She asked. Dashie stared at her with blank eyes. Her expression told the filly that whatever her question was, she didn't want an answer. Sweetie then looked at The Doc at the back of the control room and tilted her head.
"WHY IS THE DOCTOR TALKING TO A CLOCK?" Dashie stared a bit longer before letting out a giggle. Ya, she needed that comment right now.
"He says there The TARDIS or something? I don't know, he's just crazy." She patted Sweetie on the head. Sweetie jumped off the table and looked around the new environment.
After two hours, Twilight emerged from the shower. Both luckily and suspiciously, The Doc had a shampoo for the blood of many kinds. The reason it took so long was that she couldn't read the bottles.
"Okay, now that everyone is here I can tell you all my plan. Huddle up!" The Doc said in a general like voice. Everypony went around him to hear what he had to say. "After talking to Ananta, we decided that the best plan of action right now is to either stay in The TARDIS, or go into another world, and due to past experience, I don't think we're gonna vote to stay. We figured out that Pinkamina and her gang are targeting older timelines. She went to mine, then she went to her own, and finally, she was last seen in Sweeties." The Doc grinned. "So the best course of action would be to go into a new timeline as it formes!" Twilight was thinking of a counter plan but decided to agree with The Doc, Dashie didn't care too much as long as she wasn't tied back up, and Sweetie was just happy to be there.
"Great it's settled," He said. "ARIIB-A!"
Surprise was looking at some papers with names on them. Some had flags taped on, whilst others had just the names. She looked out the window of The Rainbow factories lost ship, (The Borealis), and sighed. She was bord waiting for everyone to return to the ship... She decided their next stop should be somewhere fun.
"Let's see," She said with a tired grin. "Past Sins? Naw to sad... My little Dashie? Still sad... Elements of Insanity? Close, but too unpredictable... Oh, The Elements of Insanity are next to Pony Fortress..."
She kept looking at her words. She would never be able to decide who to recruit to her ship at this rate. Maby first mate Pinkamina could help...~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[ Sorry to cancel my very first FimFic, but I will be replacing it with a more improved sequel. It will be coming out when the first chapter is done. It will be a different story from the same continuity so most cliffhangers from this fic will be answered in the new one if they carry over. Thank you to anyone who reads this sloppy mess of a story, and please have a great day :) ]

Goodbye for now ;)
