When Worlds Collide

Spitfire was thrown through a large purple circle inside of her home, launching her next to Cyburst into the dirt, who was still sulking and hadn’t noticed her appearance,

“Cyber?” She asked, recognizing the pony from behind,

“*sniff* That’s my name.” Cyburst said, frowning, “Wear it out.”

“Why are you crying? Didn’t you get what you wanted?” She asked, remembering what had happened days before she had seen the circle.

“What are you talking about?” Cyburst asked, still sniffling “I’m never going to see Candy Corn again.”

“But, Blackblood left Ponyville” She said in a confused tone, “And who is Candy Corn?”

“Candy Corn is my dead wife, who’s Blackblood?” Cyburst said, calming down.

“Blackblood is a Lycan! and since when have you been married?” she asked,

“I’ve been married for four years now.” Cyburst said, starting to get confused “I don’t think telling me this Blackblood pony is a Lycan will help me know who he is.”

“But... Wha?” Spitfire asked,

Cyburst turned around to confront his companion, getting even more confused.

“Spitfire? I thought you died during the Equestrian wars. Where have you been?” Cyburst said.

“What war? I died? Where did your scar go? WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!” She screeched,

Cyburst didn’t care what Spitfire would do. He went up and hugged her tightly.

“I’m glad that you’re okay. And I’ve never had a scar.” Cyburst said into Spitfire’s ear.

Spitfire blushed at the sudden embrace, but didn’t fully realize what was going on yet.

“Um... are you okay?” She asked, trying to wiggle away.

“Yes, thanks to you.” Cyburst said as he finished the hug and started to redo his mane.

“Do you know where Mirage is?” She asked, referring to her marefriend.

“Which one? The mare or the stallion.” Cyburst asked, he started to get what had happened.

“Uh, the mare?” She said sounding cautious,

“That explains some things.” Cyburst said, then got annoyed while remembering what had happened when he had tried to speak to her. “She punched me in the face and flew off.”

“That’s not really like her” Spitfire said, “But, considering who you are, or look like. I wouldn’t doubt it.”

“Just who do you think I am?” Cyburst said as he half-closed his eyes.

“Well, you look almost exactly like the leader of the Silver Swords, Cyber Burst” She explained,

“Well, that is my name, but I don’t know what the Silver Swords are.” Cyburst said as he pulled out his silver sword, “All I have is Silverbolt.”

Spitfire hissed and backed away from the sword, putting a hoof up and baring her teeth in defence, showing off two sharp fangs.

“What? He doesn’t bite... hard.” Cyburst said, grinning. “Wait a second... you’re a vampire?”

Spitfire shrugged and put her lips back over her teeth, hiding the two dagger-like fangs, “Uh... yeah” She said, “Can you put that thing away?”

“Oops, sorry.” Cyburst said, sheathing Silverbolt, “Tell me, what does Equestria look like right now? Don’t look, just think.”

“Uh, Equestria looks like... I don’t know, Equestria?” She said, breaking the rules and turning around, instantly freezing when her eyes saw the horrors of the world she once knew.

“Wrong answer, but it provides some answers.” Cyburst said, “Spitfire, this might not be YOUR Equestria. You come from what some ponies call a, “Parallel Dimension” if you know what that is.”

“WHAT THE HELL?!”

“Spitfire, are you okay?” Cyburst asked, fearing the worst.

Spitfire was flying about, smacking her hoof across her head every few seconds, like she would somehow bring back her other world.

“While I do find you smacking yourself amusing, I think we should get back to the others.” Cyburst said as he put his hoof over his face to keep himself from laughing.

“Wait! where’s Blackblood?” Spitfire asked, thinking of the mare.

“I still don’t know who Blackblood is.” Cyburst said flatly.

“Your marefriend? your worst enemy? your rival?” She asked, “None of this rings a bell?”

“I will never have another marefriend, I don’t have any enemies except for, maybe an Ursa Major, and I don’t have any rivals.” Cyburst said as he pretended to count with his hoofs.

Spitfire blinked a few times and shook her head, “Did you say there were others?”

“Yes! A whole group of friends I know, but who don’t know me,” Cyburst said, “you should also know there names, but not there genders.”

Spitfire’s face suddenly lit up in excitement, “Is Mia there?” she asked anxiously.

“MIRAGE is there, I know that for a fact, but Mia may be there.” Cyburst said while he got ready to leave.

Spitfire frowned and began to sniff the air and the ground right under their hooves, pushing him out of the way a few time as she caught onto the scent of her marefriend.

“Now, if you excuse me,” Cyburst said, feeling the power build inside him, “50%, RELEASE!”

Spitfire flinched at the large flash of light before her, “What the-” she was cut off by the shocking sight before her.

“What? Too sexy for words?” Cyburst said as he struck a pose for the mare.

“Eh, I’ve seen better” She said, grinning, “A certain mare, actually.”

“It doesn’t matter to me anyway.” Cyburst said as he started to climb into the air

Spitfire followed behind the pony cautiously to where the others were.

Meanwhile, Mia soared over the sky, staring in awe at what used to be Ponyville, it was completely trashed, like some kind of war had gone on right there.

She sighed and looked around, Rarity’s Boutique had been flattened, all that remained of it were a few two by fours and rock, even a few pieces of worn ribbon, the color had been almost completely drained from the once gorgeous decor on the exterior of her boutique.

Twilight’s library/treehouse thing was still standing and surprisingly in good shape, the leaves had stayed alive, but the trunk was decorated with some rather... interesting graffiti, one was home to multiple swear words in a blurred text, like some filly had wrote down every swear word she knew on that tree, another held a... rather pornographic poster of the Wonderbolt Captain,

Spitfire.

They had proportioned everything wrong to say the least, her ass was far too large and she didn’t quite have curves like that, hell, even her Cutie Mark was upside down!

Mia noticed a few posters of the rest of the team, which she was not in, like she had never existed in the first place, a pony with a light blue mane had replaced her in every picture.

Mia’s senses snapped her away from her imagination, she could smell something change in the atmosphere, she turned her head to see two figures from where she came from flying in her direction, One of them was clearly Cyburst, one looked like... Spitfire!

Mia’s wings blasted into overdrive, slicing through the air like a bullet towards the orange mare, who seemed to be coming in her direction as well.

“Spitfire!!!” She yelled through the sky,

“Mirage!!!” Spitfire yelled back,

“Cyburst!!!” Cyburst yelled.

The two marefriends met in a death grip hug, locking each other tight while still managing to stay in the air.

“Well, I was expecting to meet the others first,” Cyburst said as he D’awwed on the inside, “Silly me”

“What happened?” Spitfire asked,

Mia let go of the pegasus and stared at her blankly, “I have no bucking idea” she said with a smile.

“Gaymaressaywhat” Cyburst said as fast as he could.

Spitfire turned around with a wicked grin on her face, “What.” she said,

“Thank you.” Cyburst said as he bowed, “I’ve never done that before and wasn’t sure of the reaction I would get. I’m happy it was positive.”

“Spitfire?” A voice asked from above, it seemed to be broken and falling to pieces as it spoke,

“And we’re boned.” Cyburst said with a frown.

Spitfire and Mia looked up to see a rainbow maned pegasus floating on a small cloud with her eyes opened wide,

“Oh, hey Rainbow Dash” Spitfire said coolly, not knowing the extent of the situation,

w

Rainbow Dash let out a squeal of joy just before she practically knocked Spitfire out of the sky with a giant hug and lavishing her with kisses,

“Whoa! what- ack! what are you doing?!” Spitfire demanded, pushing the pegasus off and baring her fangs in defence,

“Can I not kiss my marefriend?” Rainbow asked, inching towards the pegasus, “When did you get the teeth?”

“Marefriend?” Mia asked in a confused state.

“Ahem.” Cyburst said as he rubbed his temples, “If you need information, insert coin.”

Mia raised an eyebrow, “How about I jump start you?” She said, her eyes surging with electrical power.

“Please don’t. I’ve had enough electrical current run through me today to power a refrigerator for a week.” Cyburst said, putting up his free claw to stop her. “you can also say please.”

“Fine, Please” She said, rolling her eyes.

“Ok, where to begin?” Cybust said as he clapped his claws together, “Rainbow, I have some good news and some bad news.”

“How about the good news first” She said, hugging Spitfire but getting shoved away by Mirage.

“The good news is that that actually is Spitfire!” Cyburst said with fake excitement.

“Ha! tell me something I don’t know!” Rainbow said hopefully, pushing Mirage back,

“Ok, she’s from a different dimension where the genders of some ponies are reversed, and Mirage was one of them.” Cyburst said. “Spitfire had fallen for this Mirage and doesn’t, so to speak, like you in any affectionate sort of way.”

“Wait, so you’re telling me, that Spitfire, MY MAREFRIEND doesn’t love me anymore?” Rainbow asked, “And she loves this bitch?”

Spitfire stepped in front of Mirage now, “Hey! there’s no need for that!” She shouted, “I have no interest in you, Rainbow Dash!”

Spitfire’s correct.” Cyburst said nervously, “technically, she was never your marefriend to begin with. the Spitfire you loved, and loved you back, died by the hooves of Soarin back in that awful war.”

“Wait, how do you know about that?” Rainbow asked,

“That, my rainbow maned friend, is a sad story for another time.” Cyburst said as he looked down at his talons in sadness.

A light blue aurora suddenly took a hold of Mia’s back hooves and dragged her to the ground, bring her nose to nose with a familiar mare.

“Vinyl!” Mia cried in shock, “You came here too?”

“Oh dear Luna!” Cyburst said, facehoofing, “could this get ANY worse?!”

“I heard, you are him” Vinyl said, poking Mia in the chest on ‘you’ and pointing behind her to Mirage on ‘him’

“You’re not from my world?” Mia asked,

“No, I am not, Mirage told me the whole ordeal and I wanted to welcome you!” Vinyl said, adding a lot of excitement at the end,

“Nopony ever listens to me though!” Honeydew cried from the background, “You god damn ALL OF MY CREATIONS” he yelled,

“Don’t listen to him, he’s crazy” Vinyl said.

“So, Vinyl... you are okay with this?” Mirage asked, putting a hoof on her shoulder,

“Why wouldn’t I be?” she asked, smiling at her husband.

Suddenly, a portal opened up about a dozen hooves above the party and throwing out a blue earth pony onto the ground, but not before he could yell the whole way down.

“FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKK” the stallion yelled right before he slammed into the ground.

“Well whaddya know?” Honeydew yelped, “Who could this be?!”

“That is the last time I’m ever playing as soldier.” the blue pony said as he got on his three hooves while the fourth was massaging his forehead.

The pony looked around at his surroundings and then frowned. “Oh great, like this hasn’t been overused much”

“I know right” Honeydew said, without even thinking, “Wait, what?!”

“Ah a fimilier face, Bla- I’m going to call you B.M. for right now to not get Mirage riled up.” the pony said. “It’s me, Cybeast Hunter.”

“What? Really?” Honeydew asked, “Wait, how did you get here?”

“Well, I was playing soldier in T. F. 2  and I shot a crit missile at the ground to rocket jump and flew out of the map.” Cybeast said. “and my body was thrown as if I was the Soldier.”

“That’s smart” Jax said, appearing on Honeydew’s side.

“Hey, there isn’t a way to tell the difference between missiles before you shoot them.” Cybeast said. “I got it by sheer luck.”

“Well better than my story, I got hit with a frying pan by Discord” Honeydew said,

“ALRIGHT STOP!” Mirage shouted, “Mind filling us in?”

“ My name is... Aqua Boom and these are peop- ponies I know.” Cybeast said as he examined himself. “Hey look, I’ve got the Goku mane.”

“Oh, nice” Honeydew said, “I didn’t get a mane, as you can see” He said, gesturing to the feathers atop his head. “Check out your Cutie Mark”

“Holy shiiiiiiiiitake mushrooms.” Aqua said as he looked at his flank “The tri-force never looked this good, wait, where are my wings?”

Aqua Boom immediately touched the top of his head and cried out in rage. “GOD DAMMIT, I’M AN EARTH PONY!”

“Yeah, I can explain that, look to my left” He said, pointing in that direction.

“Why.” Aqua boom said as he looked to Honeydew’s left.

Mia, Mirage, Vinyl, Cyburst, Spitfire, Rainbow Dash, and now Princess Luna stood side by side, staring at the new pony.

“Oh, that’s why.” Aqua Boom said, “Hello everypony, my name, as far as you know, is Aqua Boom.”

“Nice to see that there is somepony with manners around here and introduces himself first.” Cyburst said, “My name is Cyber Burst, but everyone calls me Cyburst

“Well excuse me, big cheese, I’m not used to jumping around dimensions” Mia growled,

“Neither am I, Doppelganger.” Aqua said smugly.

“I am the normal Mirage from my dimension asshole! if anypony is the doppelganger, it’s him!” She yelled, pointing at Mirage,

“I’m betting that half of this group would disagree.” Cyburst said, grinning.

“Should we really be pissing her off?” Honeydew asked,

“No comment.” Aqua said, “Wait, why does Cyburst sound like me.”

“More like why do you sound like me.” Cyburst said back.

“Out of all ponies I thought you would know this Cybeast, YOU ARE THE SAME FREAKING PERSON” Honeydew shouted,

“I’m not going to argue, but I am going to say is that we sound like each other,” Aqua said cooly.

“Guys, what is even going on?” Aero asked, “All this other worldly bullshit is crazy”

I didn’t even know the answer to that question when I started this.” Aqua said

“Then what am I?” Mia asked, getting nose to nose with Aero,

“A fake” He said with a smile,

Aero towered over Mia wearing a menacing a smile,

“A fake huh? What makes you think that?” Mia asked, shutting her eyes and looking downwards,

“You haven’t shown me shit” He said,

“Ok, this is getting out of hoof. Why don’t we all just get along?” Cyburst said, trying to free some tension

“Aero-” Gaia tried,

“No, So what do you have to show us? what can you do that Mirage can’t?”

Mia opened her eyes and stared right back up at Aero, the color had changed from a shiny hue of purple to a bright golden color,

“I can do a few things” She said with a smile, her hooves began to tingle and her mouth was filled with large teeth.

“Like what?” Aero asked, seeing the color of her eyes change, “He can change his eyes too”

Aero turned back to Mirage, “Can't you?” he asked,

“Aero I don’t think-” Mirage tried,

“BAIL” Aqua boom yelled as he hid behind Cyburst, who was looking confused as to why Aqua hid behind him.

“What? You don’t think what?” Aero asked, not noticing the growing shape behind him,

“I don’t think he can do that” Vinyl finished,

Aero turned around to be met with a monstrous Lycan, the once small pony’s body had grown at least three feet, making her almost twice as tall as Aero,

“She can turn into a lycan,” Cyburst said, “but she’s still small compared to me. Why isn’t anyone as tall as me now?”

“Don’t say anything else, please” Spitfire begged.

“When you make a comment like that, I can’t resist.” Cyburst said, grinning,“The quick fox jumped over the lazy dog.”

Spitfire facehoofed, “I mean don’t insult her” she said.

“fine.” Cyburst said as he sat down, “There, now you’re the tallest.”

Luna was quietly sneaking a syringe behind Mia while the others argued, stopping every time Mia would barely move.

Mia had better senses than Luna thought, the Lycan picked her up by the neck with a swish of a paw, slamming her into a building and pinning her there.

“Mia!” Spitfire cried out, grabbing her marefriend by the shoulder and pulling with as much strength she could muster to get her off of the Lunar Princess.

Mirage rolled his eyes and leaped towards the mare and landed on her shoulder, sinking his teeth into her bicep.

“Well, this isn’t something you see everyday, a Lycan and a Vampony fighting.” Cyburst said, “does anypony want me to break this up?”

“Fine” Honeydew and Jax said together, Jax took Mirage by the stomach and slammed him into the ground with a lot of force, Honeydew clawed and pecked at Mia’s paw until she let go of Luna, who was now gasping for breath, Cyburst ran over to examine the damage.

Spitfire grabbed Mia and tried to hold her in place, being successful and beginning to calm her down.

“That enough for you Aero?” Gaia asked, scolding her coltfriend,

“Yeah, sure” He said glumly,

“Good! Don’t tell me I’m some kind of fake!” Mia said, almost returned to normal.

“This has been quite the day” Mirage said with a smile,

“It sure has,” Night Flash said, “Speaking of which, it’s getting late, we should get some rest, we can sort this out in the morning.”

“I’m not sleeping close to a Lycan!” Aero argued,

“You’ve slept close to a Vampony” Mirage said, attracting attention, “Oh not like that you perverts!”

“Shes going to be ok, if anypony’s wondering.” Cyburst said helping Luna to her hooves “it’s just a bruise.”

Everypony looked at Luna with a look of embarrassment, excluding Mia,

“Are you alright Luna?” Gaia asked,

“I’m fine” She said, “Thanks for asking.”

The others exchanged glances and checked on the Princess, just before a squeaky voice startled them,

“Mommy, is everypony alright?” Rain Whisper asked,

Cyburst glanced at the filly, then looked away with sadness.

Vinyl looked back at the small foal and swooped her up onto her back,

“Everything is fine, Some ponies just got lost” Vinyl said, “Are you alright?”

“I’m okay, just tired” she said, rubbing her eyes,

“Aww” Vinyl said,

“Who the hell?” Mia asked,

Vinyl glanced at her, “Language!” she barked,

“C’mon, that’s my daughter” Mirage said, glaring at the mare,

“Sorry, Sorry” Mia said, looking down at her slim belly and rubbing it,

“You alright?” Spitfire said, putting a hoof on her shoulder,

“I’m fine, fine... I’m just... thinking” She said,

“It’s going to be fine” Spitfire said with a smile,

“Mommy, is that mare going to get her mouth washed out?” Rain asked, giggling,

Cyburst couldn’t help but smile. a lone tear fell down his cheek.

“Maybe, that’s not up to me though” Vinyl said, walking inside to a lone building.

“Cyburst? You alright?” Honeydew asked,

“Leave him be,” Aqua said with sadness, also, in his tone, “bad memories, that’s all.”

The ponies broke apart into groups, Mia, Spitfire, Honeydew, Jax, Cyburst and Aqua Boom went together, while the others stayed together.

The adventure was just getting started...
