Sense of Nothing

Back in Equestria, the place is abandoned. All of the zombies vanished and turned into gas (or farts) as the sun rose from under the mountain ranges. A human, wearing a lab coat and a brown, worn out military backpack, walks on the empty village of Ponyville. Tired and a bit wounded, the human sits near a tree. He/she looks for any carbon-based life, but none can be seen. The human then gazes around the empty space while a tumbleweed bounces as it follows the path of the wind.

It's daytime at the Lab, but the sky is still the same color. The Seven started feeling hunger from their stomachs, and there's barely any food but a test tube of boomer bile. The group then started talking to each other once again.

"We should've bought food" says the suffering Twilight Sparkle, with her stomach growling from the lack of food.

"... Bought what?" replied Octavia, who was eating a roll of tofu pizza.

"Wait a minute... Where the hay did you get that?" asked the curious and surprised Flitter.

"Um... Starbucks?" Octavia answered, after swallowing a whole bunch of it, and then pulling out a cup of coffee.

"And where is this Starbucks you said?" said Twilight, still hungry.

Octavia pointed to the window, where outside is a box of food products tied to a rope, hanging from the sky. Everypony but Octavia and Twilight ran towards the box like a crazy hysterical man running around in circles (but without the circle part) and consumed what is left of it, except meat. As they rest from what they ate, Twilight knocked her head on a computer desk. While in pain, Twilight noticed the green, old monitor boots itself up seconds after. Time Turner saw it receive messages. The monitor then made a message:

PLEASE PRESS THE BOOT BUTTON TO REPLY

Time Turner then proceeded to press the button. He cannot push the button even further and it can't respond.

"Ugh! I hate it when machines like these don't work!" Time Turner gave a frustrated look.

"It's because you don't have thumbs." Twilight responded and chuckled a bit.

"How about you?" Time Turner replied.

"I have a horn." Twilight said.

"So you're horny?" Flitter jokingly said, and chuckled, in which Cloud Chaser responds by slapping her on the face.

Twilight gave a "WHAT THE FUCK" expression before looking back at the monitor. She then pressed her horn towards the button the way Princess Celestia used her horn as a key to open the closet that holds the Elements of Harmony. The computer then receives a reply.

Beautiful music at 472

-T

Everypony then looked at the monitor and its message. Derpy responds with "Is that a muffin?"

"No, Derpy" Twilight said, with a smile that says "you're silly".

"Beautiful music, hm? Well I do like music, especially Tchaikovsky's compositions, just not dubstep. Dubstep is night soil from my arse." replied Octavia.

"Yeah, granny" answered Flitter.

"Don't call me that. I'm still in your age, so I'm not old." Octavia argued.

"But you're a year older than me, granny!" Flitter chuckled.

"I SAID DON'T CALL ME THAT" Octavia shouted with a loud voice, the echo causing small bits of rocks from the sky to fall.

"I like trains" a mysterious voice from nowhere they heard, causing Flitter and Octavia to silence themselves whilst giving the expression of fear.

Suddenly, the rocks from the "sky" I mentioned earlier cracked and fell from atop of them. Everypony galloped down to the first floor, or the underground. A landslide (or an avalanche of dirt) caved them all in, and there is still no way out.

"Way to go, granny" said the sarcastic Flitter. "You achieved the Certificate of Stupidity for that."

"Thanks, you son of a..." Octavia responds with a serious look.

"Ugh" Twilight interrupted with a VERY frustrated look, "We can't get out of here if you guys don't stop fighting! Let's just go to number 472. This so-called 'Submachine Portal' must be put into action once again."

Everypony agreed. They went back to the portal, typed the codes "472" and they all get sent to another area.

In Equestria, the human eats a sandwich while sitting under the shade of an apple tree in Sweet Apple Acres, lying upright on rocks, which is the most painful thing I've ever done before. The human then saw a nurse walking towards him/her. She is white (I'm not referring to American or Asian people), has light pink hair, is wielding a medieval mace and dons a nurse's hat, now covered in blood. Then the nurse responds and asks the human if he/she is an ally or a threat.

"What kind of animal are you? Are you for us or against us? Tell me." says the Nurse, a bit mad is her mood.

The human paused for a bit, his/her face still covered by the shadows emitted by the tree, shook his/her head and then continued eating a sandwich of the nurse's patient. No voice was heard. The nurse then realized that he/she is a human, and then waited for him/her to talk.

"What kind of a human are you?" the nurse asked. "Oh! I see you are the silent one... Or just deaf." the nurse pony laughed a bit, and then finally dropped her mace. "I think you can come talk with me for a while. Come on!" the nurse smiled.

The human nodded, and then followed the nurse, while his/her face still off screen.

In the room where this so called "Beautiful music" they believe exists, everypony got bored to sleep, except for Octavia, who is enjoying the forever repeating songs from "The Conet Project" album from a wooden device that emits sound. Twilight groans and says "Can we go home yet?" with her face on the table.

"No, not now. I'm enjoying this!" says the excited Octavia, enjoying the music with her eyes closed, her head bobbing to the rhythm of the music.

While Twilight looks down, she finds a piece of paper under the table, which says a note.

Today, or as of 1970 April 29, I'm writing this note for no reason. I have notes about the coordinates I recently found which others think will waste their time doing nothing on.

493 - 000
defense network - 128
LAZER - 157
radio - 277
more ruins - 580
exit - 596 (this no longer works)

Oh, and one more thing. In case I forget, 552 / 553 = Root.

-Agent 769

Twilight, very curious about what the hell is the Root, tries the code on the portal while Octavia listens to the boring songs about numbers in different languages that bore the other group mates to sleep. The portal, like before, teleports everypony to the Root. The root looks like a cave with machines and lots of piping all over, with metal plates scattered all over the place. They saw the cave nearby, which they all enter. The cave is a bit dark but there's still lighting, there's even working machines and chargers in there. The Seven then investigated the area, digging through scraps of metal and other things.

"Hey, Flitter" says Twilight.

"Yeah?"

"Is this some sort of mine or something?"

"No, but if this place has treasure it's 'mine'! Get it?" Flitter and Twilight laughed for several seconds, the others saying it's boring.

"Enough jokes for now, we got a job to do." Time Turner answered.

They all then investigated the area. Twilight then saw a room with computers over 60 years of age. Twilight saw another note on the wall. It says the following words; "Observation Room - made in 1950. Root made somewhere in 1901. Must abandon root due to loss of control over Subnet, because some idiot clogged one of the pipes with bubblegum"

Twilight then realized that the Observation room has been abandoned because the humans who created the Subnet has lost control of it, and then they have to move somewhere else.

Meanwhile, Derpy's clumsiness has caused a new "not so disastrous" disaster. Time Turner tried his best to stop her.

"Derpy! Put that ancient Mayan knife down! You might hurt somepony, or even yourself." says the frustrated Time Turner.

"I just don't know what went right." Derpy then accidentally tripped on a pebble, causing her to lose grip of the knife, which was seemingly aimed towards her eye, but then moved directions, and then bounced towards an electric box. The knife, being made of conductive metals, short circuits the Root's source of electricity, therefore everything turned dark, even darker than yo momma, who can leave fingerprints on charcoal. Sorry for insulting you, but it seems that the lights are out, and all is pitch black, just like yo momma! Everypony can't see each other.

"Great, Derpy" said Time Turner, in a bit frustrated voice. "This is why I stay away from ponies who act dumb."

"Thanks!" answered Derpy. "Do you have a muffin?"

"Twilight, please light the area for a bit, can you?" asked Time Turner.

Twilight nodded, and then summoned a light source. It's glowing a bit of purple everywhere, revealing Cloud Chaser and Flitter hugging each other due to fear.

"Aw, how sweet of you two" Octavia responded, smiling.

The twin pegasi realized what they're doing, and then backed each other off at the same time, looking at the opposite direction, and a bit embarrassed about what they did.

Back with the human, the nurse thanked the human for having a good conversation, and they both left, at the opposite direction. While the human is walking (still with his/her face off screen), he/she found a tree-library. At first the human thought it's nothing, but before he/she leaves, he/she found something VERY familiar to his/her face. The human then entered the library without knocking the door open. After that the human found the portal. Speaking of portals, the Seven went back to the exit of the cave, and then rested for a while on the corner.

"Ugh, we didn't even do anything in there but look around" Flitter complained, upset about what happened.

"But hey, at least we discovered something, right?" Twilight replied, whilst expressing a confident look.

"True, but there's still lots of mysteries about this place." Time Turner spoke, curious. "I still wonder why they built the root. Did they discover a new way to travel to other dimensions? Or is it that they just built it because of the possible existence of Atlas lifting the earth? There's so many reasons, but most of them don't make any sense."

Twilight, realizing that "sense" means something about the Submachine, went back to the portal, and then typed in the numbers "553", which is also located on the root. They all get sent to another part of the root, although it looks the same, only mirrored. The group then went to the other end of the bridge, discovering that what Admiral Ackbar said was right. IT'S A TRAP! It looks like a cloudy sky outside, but beyond that was actually a billboard thing set on the bridge the ponies are on. They began to wander around the fake temple set full of statues portraying gods, lizards and animals, probably made by the humans to fool anyone who wakes up on that area so they will think they're Indiana Jones.

Say, speaking of humans, the human went to the lab, realizing that everything is now a mess, and the second and top floors are covered in rubble and earth, thus proving that Atlas isn't the one the is lifting the earth. The human wanders around, and finds a cup of coffee with Octavia's treble clef cutie mark on it. The human believed that they came here first before him/her, so he/she went back to the portal and tried another code to follow them there. Meanwhile the ponies are finding more to discover about the temple, not being aware that the temple was made like a movie prop. Derpy looks at the piece of ~~shit~~ jewel she found lying on the temple floor. Twilight finds another note, this time nailed on the wall. She rips it off the wall and reads what it says.

If you are reading this, then the temple you are in is a lie, just like the cake. Better get out of this area since all you can get here is nothing.

Twilight then felt something different. It's neither she needs the toilet nor that the word "nothing" and "sense" can be combined into something. Twilight got an idea, and yelled out the words "Eureka!"

"What is it, Twi?" Turner asked.

The scene switches to Twilight laughing and smiling like a maniac after snorting large amounts of crack. She gets interrupted, and asked "Nothing..." with an innocent face.

"What nothing? There's something that happened."

"Of course something happened and I therefore conclude that 'sense' doesn't mean 'nothing' to the Subnet!" Twilight simpered.

Time Turner, with a serious face, spoke to Twilight, "... That's it? It doesn't make any sense or it does not relate to the subject matter we are trying to solve here."

"Don't be silly" Twilight replied, chuckling "If it doesn't make any sense, it's nonsense, and if it's nonsense, it still makes sense! Anything that doesn't make sense is still sense, because if the current subject makes no sense, it still makes sense, even if it doesn't, because if it doesn't make sense then it wouldn't probably exist, therefore not giving any sense, either literally or mentally!"

Time Turner dropped his lower jaw in both confusion or amazement, or just felt like it, and then said "Mind equals blown".

"That's right." Twilight said excitedly, "Let's get a move on. Time to explore more of the Subnet and its mysteries!"

The Seven then went to the portal, and tried 128. Finally they teleport somewhere else.

We cut the scene to Spike, who then started to worry about Twilight and her crew, while he roasts chicken eggs sunny side up on a stick like cooking wieners on a stick, which Pinkie Pie wondered how the hay Spike cooked that way without the need of a frying pan. But hey, it's magic. Not gonna explain shit.

As for the human, he/she continued with following the people (or ponies) who took the portal and who attempted to discover their dark secrets, or plans, or stash of porno. Who cares? It's a mystery that God will reveal to us soon!
