P.O.V. Broken Heart

Time: Muffin Time! (Actually it's 12:30)

Weather: clear

Date: do I really have to answer this?

As I finally drift off to sleep I start to dream.

The setting appears to be a lab with many different scientific instruments scattered around as well as what appear to be a set of three rather large humanoid shaped containers. It also appears that the lights are extremely dim as I can't make out very much else.

“Ah good my dream messaging system appears to be working.” A deep mechanical sounding voice says.

“Who are you?” I ask not amused.

“What in Tartarus are you?” a gruff voice says beside me as I look over to my right.

As I look over I see a translucent two legged dragon with blood red scales on his back and wings and forest green scales on his front.

“Shut the buck up dragon and focus on why we are all apparently dreaming the same damned thing.” says a voice of my left.

I look over to see a translucent gray bat horse with a mane and tail that are a light green and what appears to be a jack o'lantern on its flank.

“It seems you can all see each other, good.” the mechanical voice speaks.

“Why, pray tell, are we fucking here.” I ask with a growl.

“It’s simple you three are each dealing with issues that have originated from the same source, who also happens to be my former boss, and I have decided to help each of you with a suggestion and with some knowledge that may be useful.” the mechanical voice says in an almost caring tone.

“How in Tartarus do you know we're being tormented by the same creature?” the dragon growls loudly.

“It’s simple draconian (DRAGON!) my former employer may not be the sharpest spike on the armour but he knows when different worlds in the infinite multiverse are about to collide with each other so he torments certain people in these worlds he sees as “heros” or “potentially dangerous personnel.””

“So a bat horse (PONY!), a dragon, and I are considered dangerous, sounds like a bunch of horse shit.” I say.

“Alright fine you want proof? I know each of your names, the self proclaimed dragon of doom is named Thundershock, the bat pony who is all talk is Jack ‘O’ Lantern, and you, a human who considers himself broken beyond repair, currently going by the name of Broken Heart but your true name is Musical Medley.” says the mechanical voice sounding smug.

“Since you know so much about us cretin tell us who you are?” the dragon now known as Thundershock speaks.

“Cretin? I haven't been called that in many years.” the voice chuckles.

“I’ll tell you who I am, hell I'll show you what I am as well.” the voice says.

As the lights in the lab turn on I see exactly how crazy this mad lad really is. I notice how plain it looks . It's all white there's a couple of panels that look to be deactivated on the bare white walls. I see a table with an assortment of tools that I could not see earlier due to the dim lighting. There appear to be no chairs in the room. I notice a sign above the containers I saw earlier in reads “transitional transformation chambers”.

I then notice the robot. It looks like a burnt anthropomorphic rabbit with nightmarish claws and teeth it has sustained damage as wires appear to be poking at many points. Another thing I notice about it, it appears to almost be ethereal and incorporeal but the most unsettling feature of it is the almost human like eyes.

“I can't read that writing on the sign” Solar Flare speaks with a growl.

“Nor can I dragon.” Jack says.

“Uneducated swine.” I grumble to myself.

“Of course you can't read it neither of you have been affected by a translation matrix or spell that affects your ability to read, and no Musical they are not uneducated nor are they related to pigs.” The robot speaks.

“Enhanced hearing much?” I say sarcastically.

“Yes actually and the name I was given by my creator and my brothers is Nightmare, Nightmare Phantom, or incase thou needeth my full name Nightmare Spring Locked Phantom, the eldest currently functioning member of the Phantom Animatronic family line.” Nightmare says.

“I don't think it's much of a stretch to assume that two of your brethren have the names Spring and Error?” I ask.

“Please tell me you haven't met them.” Nightmare says.

“No but their names have made appearances as of recently.” I state.

Nightmare then looks at his mechanical wrist as if it were a watch.

“It appears our time is about over. We will speak again, although not soon as I have other things to take care of, we will meet again.” Nightmare says as the dream fades.

I wake up in my room, I hear not the sound of music that was playing before I fell asleep last night.

As I get out of bed and put some clothes on I notice two things. First thing being morning wood. The second thing being the faint smell of hay coming from my closet.

I decide to find out why my closet smells of hay and I open the closet door to see a pink horse with incredibly large cyan eyes.

“There is a pink horse in my closet.” I state to myself.

“Pony” it says in a very familiar voice.

“What?” I say in surprise.

“I am a pink pony, not a horse.” it says unfazed.

“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” I scream as I run downstairs flailing my arms.

If that didn't wake everyone up I don't know what will.

Before I manage to run into the door Midnight uses her magic to stop me while I'm still attempting to run away.

“You better have a damn good reason for waking me up.” Midnight says clearly very angry.

“I second that.” Sunset says with a yawn.

“What could have possibly made you shriek in horror and move swiftly down the stairs flailing like a fish out of water?” Twilight asks also annoyed.

“I've been up since nine.” Fluttershy says so quietly I almost didn't hear her.

Pinkie Pie is somehow still asleep.

“There is a pink talking horse in my closet upstairs.” I say as while still floating via Midnight's magic.

“Broken, as much as I want to believe you this sounds…” Twilight starts but never finishes as the pink horse walks downstairs.

“Why is everypony staring at me?” the horse asks.

“... completely believable.” Twilight says in disbelief.

“Broken, that is a pony not a horse.” Sunset says matter of factly.

Fluttershy quickly rushes over to the pony “YOU CAN TALK?!?” She asks louder than normal.

“Of course I can talk silly.” the pink pony replies with a laugh.

Midnight looks between and and the pony accusingly “Whose idea was this?” she asks still quite angry.

“Whose idea was what?” the pony asks innocently.

It was at this moment I realized something the mane and tail of the pony looked very similar to Pinkie Pie's hair as well the fur on the pony matches Pinkie’s skin color.

“Hold that thought Midnight, excuse me talking pony thing does your name happen to be Pinkie Pie?” I ask because I have a feeling in my belly that this pony is a doppelganger of the our Pinkie.

The pink pony gasps then says “How did you know that? Are you psychic? Did you read my mind?” she gasps again then speaks once more “Maybe you're an evil supervillain with mind reading powers?”

“No to all of those, I just had a feeling, in my belly.” I say as everyone looks at me quite puzzled.

“I knew guys thought with their stomachs but that is a little strange.” Sunset says.

“Actually guys do use their brains just not for thinking about logical things, they use it for thinking of when they will have their next sexual experience or which girl or other guy, not judging, he wants to have sexual intercourse with.” Twilight says.

“Well I am going to leave and head back to Equestria because I think I hear Rarity calling an emergency friendship meeting at Twilight's castle bye” Pony Pinkie Pie (say that ten times fast I dare you) says as she heads to an open kitchen cabinet and disappears.

“I am more concerned and confused than I am mad.” Midnight says as she drops me.

“Ow.” I mutter as I land on the ground rather hard

“Another thing guys tend to obsess over is extreme acts of violence and the overuse of words that would seem rather offensive to others including but not limited too n-” Twilight says as I cut her off.

“Before you say everything that is either a curse word or racial slur I would like to point out that first off I do not spend every waking hour thinking about sex and random violence nor I do use racial slurs, although at school I use some pretty damning curse words but that's just a facade to keep people away.” I explain.

“then how do you explain the erection that I can see through your sweatpants?” Twilight asks.

“Morning wood.” I say.

Before Twilight can respond Pinkie Pie wakes up and gives us all a confused look.

“Why are you all standing? Did someone die when I was asleep? Di-” Pinkie starts but gets interrupted by Sunset putting her hand over her mouth.

After an hour of explaining everything to Pinkie I decided that too many people were in my house and I nicely, under the request of Midnight and Sunset, shoved, rather than my normal method of getting unwanted guests out by yeeting, Twilight, Fluttershy, The Crazy Pink One, my new official nickname for Pinkie, out the door.

“Phew, now that's over let's do something less stressful, Warhammer Age of Sigmar.” I say as immediately start to clear off the table.

“What?” I hear Midnight ask.

“Aren't we forgetting something?” Sunset asks as all of our stomachs let out a collective growl.

“We can eat first.” I declare as I sit my ass down knowing that if I cook the food would be so badly cooked Sweetie Belle's cooking would look like a gourmet chef's meal.

“Shouldn't you cook?” Sunset asks.

“Actually, Sunset I just read his mind, sorry Broken, and his cooking, according to his memory, looks more like molten rock.” Midnight says.

Sunset's eyes widen in what appears to be surprise.

“Don't ask it's a long story that I would prefer to not remember.” I say with slight annoyance.

“I think I'll cook instead.” Sunset says

As Sunset heads into the kitchen to start cooking mind goes completely blank as Midnight pulls a chair up beside me.

“You know you should consider finding a game that we have heard of if we're going to play a game after breakfast.” Midnight says as she scoots closer.

“You do realize that you are not doing a good job of convincing me, yes?” I say.

Midnight shrugs “At least I tried.”

“True.” I say.

Sunset cooks us omelets and we start to chow down. After my third omelet my phone starts to buzz as if I was getting a call.

I look at who is calling and realise its Flash.

“If you're calling me then I know a bad thing has happened, whatcha need Sentry?” I say as I answer the call.

“Hey Broken, yeah something happened alright you need to get to the school quick and principal Celestia is on her way as well, bring anyone you trust as well, not that you trust anyone, we have an issue I don't know who else to call.” Sentry says.

“You wound me Sentry, but yes I’ll be there, along with my current houseguests.” I say.

“Houseguests? I thought you hated people.” he questions.

“You aren't wrong I hate people, just not all of them, also do me a favor and don't scream or run away when you see one of my housemates it'll save me a lot of trouble.”

“Whatever just get here fast.” he says as he hangs up.

I set my phone down, basically inhale my third and final omelet and look to Sunset and Midnight as I say “Alright we have to head to the school something popped up.”

“We heard.” Sunset says.

“Are you sure this is a good idea, volunteering us to help?” Midnight asks.

“I never have good ideas.” I state bluntly as I head to my garage where a recent project of mine is at.

I hope it starts this time. I think as I open the garage door to reveal what I can only describe as a Doomwheel, at least that's what my half-brother called it when I showed it to him awhile back.

“What the hell is that?” I hear Sunset ask from behind me.

“A Doomwheel, aptly named because my brother is uncreative.” I say.

“I would say the name is accurate.” Midnight says while she stands outside the garage.

My eye twitches in annoyance but I say nothing as I attempt to start the engine.

“Uh Broken I don't think we can all fit in this “doomwheel” of yours.” Sunset says as the engine roars to life.

I then say “I realize this but Sentry said get there fast and my bike is fast but it can't hold the three of us, plus I've been needing an excuse to try this thing for a couple weeks since I just fixed the engine.”

“Your bike won't hold the two of us either.” Midnight says.

“You can fly it's not the strangest thing anyone in this town has ever seen.” I say as I put on my gloves and helmet.

“I imagine you didn't think this through.” Sunset says as I hand her a helmet and gloves for riding my bike.

“I never think things through I just do.” I shrug.

“Now let's go before Sentry calls me again!” I yell as I get in the doomwheel.

I see Midnight shrug and shake her head as she spreads her wings and takes off, while Sunset gets on my motorcycle which is on the left side of my doomwheel.

I rev the engine then I take off faster than I expected.

“Holy shit!” I exclaim in surprise as I break quickly.

I hear Sunset laugh as she passes me. I grit my teeth and start again this time with no surprise.

You know there are a lot of people walking around in town right now so maybe taking your little “Doom Device” or whatever may not have been the smartest move. I hear Midnight's voice say in my head.

Telepathy? Really? I think.

Yes really. Midnight responds.

Maybe not my best plan but it's not like we could teleport. I telepathically tell Midnight.

You're an idiot I have magic remember? Midnight responds.

Shut up I needed a reason to test this. I retort back.

We drive/fly through town getting a hell of a lot of looks but otherwise nothing really happens.

When we park/land I head to the statue with Sunset and Midnight in tow, where, Sentry, Principal Celestia and surprisingly Vinyl Scratch are waiting.

“Good you're he- ” Sentry starts.

“Yeah I showed up with Sunset and Midnight now spill the beans.” I say before Sentry says something stupid.

“That'’s-” Sentry starts but I shut him up.

“I know who it is now why am I-” I say as Principal Celestia interrupts me.

“Let's go inside so we don't get any unwanted attention.” the Principal says.

Vinyl nods in agreement, I also noticed tears in her eyes and she looks sad and also angry.

We all head inside to the Principal's office and seeing as we're the only one's here it is quite creepy.

Once we're in the office Celestia speaks.

“I called you all here because of some events that happened last night and I don't want the whole school to panic, Flash you said you trust Broken to help you with this, but what of Sunset and Midnight? Do you trust them?”
Celestia asks Sentry.

“I trust Sunset definitely and I trust Broken's judgment so I trust that Midnight won't cause problems.” Sentry says.

“Good because you interrupted my late breakfast and Midnight lives with me so I was going to not help if you had said anything else.” I say bluntly only to earn a smack on my neck.

“What he means to say is thank you for trusting me.” Midnight says.

“I meant what I said.” I say quietly.

“Now last night Vinyl’s girlfriend was murdered by four individuals three of which appeared to be wearing rabbit costumes and the other being a woman with rather long hair the security cameras caught only part of it because they were apparently deactivated but, someone reactivated them after they were done.” Celestia says as she turns her computer around to show us the clip on her computer.

“Spring! I thought we agreed to let her live!” I hear a distorted voice say a the video starts.

There were five people there Octavia Melody was there hanging from a rope, while there were three people that looked similar to the one from my dream last night except less nightmarish and one being the size of a small child, the final one being a woman with long hair.

“Hey it's not my fault pal she wanted to turn us in for kidnapping.” the one closest to the rope and apparently know as Spring says with a robotic quality to his voice.

“You should be glad I disabled the cameras.” The small one says with robotic child voice.

“Maybe you three should have listened to me and let me do the talking but no you three had to use your version of diplomacy which is blackmail!” the woman says as she stands up from sitting on the ground.

“Kos nahlot/Shut up/Be quiet Monica!” the three rabbit people say in unison.

“I bet you all would be pissed to if you had lost someone important to you.” the woman known as Monica says.

“Oh here we go again with your hissy fit about your dead husband.” Spring says.

“Well I for one am happy about Derrick’s death because now I only have to watch one chaotic asshole rather than two.” the distorted voice speaks again.

“Take that back Error.” Monica says.

“You know Mini Me, Derrick wasn't that bad in my opinion.” Spring says to the child thing.

“Eh he was alright when he didn't break into random songs or cause chaos for the sake of chaos.” the Mini Spring says.

They all continue talking but then they leave when they see the sun start to rise and then the clip stops.

“Well looks like, Flutter Nut, and Pink Poofball weren't lying.” I say.

I then get smacked on the back of the head.

“Ow!” I scream from the pain getting smacked caused me.

“Get their names right” I hear Midnight say.

“Jesus Christ that fucking hurt.” I grumble.

“Shut up you big baby.” Midnight says.

“So does everybody get the gist of what we're doing?” Sentry asks.

“No we fucking don't.” I say sarcastically.

“Good.” Sentry says.

“I already have half a plan.” I say because I just thought of something so absurd that just might work.

“What is it?” Sentry and Celestia ask while Vinyl looks at me with.

“First off I think we should deal with this Anon-a-miss shit I have a feeling, in my belly, that whoever they are has something to do with it so I will see if Twilight can do some slightly hacking type stuff. While Midnight can keep an eye in the sky during school to see if these people make any appearance. While Sunset and I keep things calm until the end.” I say.

“That is the most intelligent and planned out thing I've heard from you yet.” Sunset says.

“Yeah he does that, most of the time he'll not think about anything or in general do anything smart but when something pops up that requires intelligence and planning he just pops out a plan with a bit of intelligence to it.” Sentry remarks.

We then check the time and realize we should head out as it is getting quite late, so we head our separate ways.

The lyrics I hear as I fall asleep that night are

When you're rife with devastation there's a simple explanation you're a toymaker's creation trapped inside a crystal ball.
