When Worlds Collide

“INCOMING!!!” A voice shouted from above,

Cyburst reflexively teleported six feet to the left, and drew Silverbolt again.

Mirage was not so lucky, he was hit directly by the dropping diamond dog, knocking him into the dirt along with the gargantuan dog,

The Dog jumped up quickly and looked up from where he had come from, where a griffin was laughing and doing backflips in mid-air

“Honeydew! you asshole!” The dog shouted to the griffin, “You dropped me!”

“I didn’t drop you, I threw you at the ground” ‘Honeydew’ continued to laugh,

“You made me hit somepony!” The dog said,

Cyburst made a force shield right above the griffin and smashed it into him, sending it to the ground.

The griffin quickly hopped up and brushed the feathers on his head, “Is that how you greet everypony?” He asked, turning to Cyburst and glaring daggers,

“No, only the ones who threaten the existence of friends.” Cyburst said

“I wasn’t threatening anypony!” He said,

“Why don’t we ask the pony who got hurt.” Cyburst asked “Mirage?”

Mirage slowly got to his hooves, his eyes boggled inside of his head until he shook his head and closed his eyes,

“You did drop a diamond dog on me”  He said, opening his eyes and looking at the griffin,

“Oh, my bad” The griffin said, walking towards Mirage,

“Ugh, hate griffins,” Cyburst said, sheathing Silverbolt, “They never pay attention.”

“That’s not true!” The griffin said, turning around to look at the Ponyville that wasn’t theirs,  “What happened in the past ten seconds?!” It screeched,

“You threw a diamond dog into my friend, not realizing that he was even there” Cyburst yelled

“Thanks smartass” He said, “Who is your friend?” It asked, looking around until his eyes met Mirage’s, “MIRAGE?!” It yelled,

“How do you know my name?” Mirage asked,

“I wrote about you!” The griffin said, “So does that mean...?”

The griffin turned around, looking at the destroyed Ponyville, “Oh no...”

“What, did you also forget that Ponyville was destroyed too?” Cyburst asked sarcastically

“Ponyville isn’t destroyed! Not in our world!” The griffin shouted,

“What do you mean your world,” Cyburst said “Do you mean you’re not from this Country?”

“Essentially yes, but no, we do live in Equestria” It squawked,

“You’re fanfiction!” the diamond dog said,

“What is that supposed to mean?” Mirage asked,

“What’s the last thing you remember Jax?” The griffin asked the diamond dog,

“Twilight was testing a spell on us, then we flew out of range and you wanted to go to Canterlot” ‘Jax’ said,

“So, we’re in a different dimension?” The griffin asked,

“I think so” The diamond dog said,

The two looked at each other and then back at the ponies that stood before them,

“High five!” The griffin shouted,

“I only have four fingers” The diamond dog mumbled,

The griffin examined his claws and smiled sheepishly,

“High four?” it asked, holding up its claws,

They slapped their hands together and looked back at the two ponies,

“Who exactly are you two jokers?” Mirage asked, “This is nothing to joke about, other ponies died!”

“Oh, sorry” The griffin said, “I’m Honeydew”

“And I’m Jax” The diamond dog said,

Jax extended his paw towards Cyburst,

“DON’T YOU DARE TOUCH ME YOU FILTHY MUTT .” Cyburst screamed, slapping the paw away,

“Wow, Cyburst is a bigger asshole than I Imagined” Jax said, he didn’t know what he had done.

Cyburst started to remember everything that had happened. He couldn’t bear it. He teleported back to the graveyard and began to walk, carving a path through the overgrown brush, he knew exactly what he was heading to, he thought about good memories, the few that he still had, He thought about Candy Corn, Quiet Harp, His mother, the rest of his family, and everypony else he lost, there were so many... it hurt him to kneel next to the gravestones, it hurt him to cry his eyes out over his wife and daughter’s grave, it hurt him to get up and leave another black rose, next to all of the dead ones, it was always like he had some on him, he never knew when he needed to come to this place again.

‘...Cyburst, you can’t keep doing this,’ Phoenix thought, ‘it will eventually kill you...’

“you know that can’t happen...” Cyburst whispered, “I can’t die...”

“...But you can live on...” Phoenix said, “..with their memories...”

“...You’re right..” Cyburst said, “What’s done is done, and I can’t change that. Even if I am immortal...”

Finding new strength, Cyburst went back to Mirage’s gravestone

“50%, RELEASE” Cyburst said, feeling the power flow

“Where are we going?” Phoenix asked.

“Canterlot,” Cyburst said, grinning, “At mach 2”

Cyburst heard the sonic boom but he didn’t care. they wouldn’t see him until he was upon them.

Mirage looked around for Cyburst, trying to find any sight of the pony, nothing. He had vanished into thin air and gone somewhere out of sight.

Mirage sniffed the air, trying to find his scent, all he could smell was the diamond dog, Jax.

“Can you still do all of the electricity?” Jax asked,

Mirage sent a visible visible tremor of electricity across his coat, ruffling it a bit,

“Does that answer your question mutt?” Mirage asked,

“Okay, I’m being quite an asshole” Honeydew said,

“You’re not me!” Mirage reminded him, he was a real bird brain,

“Stop calling me a mutt!” Jax barked,

“You’re a diamond dog!” Mirage shouted,

“Wow, I’m racist too” Honeydew said,

“Shut up bird!” Mirage yelled, he was going to lash out on the two,

“That’s another thing, I have a name you know” Honeydew said,

“Shut up. Honeydew” Mirage said, grinding his teeth,

“Rude” Honeydew said, taking flight and looking around, “Damn I put shit into good detail”

“What is with your over excessive cursing?” Mirage asked,

“Just saying” Honeydew said, shrugging, “What’s that?”

“What’s what?” Mirage asked, it was like talking to kids,

“That... thing-”

Honeydew was cut off by a familiar red pony slamming into him, rocketing him into the ground at least a few hooves down,

“Now I feel bad for Mirage” Honeydew said woozily,
