//-------------------------------------------------------// Sense of Nothing -by GiromCalica- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// The Lab //-------------------------------------------------------// The Lab Everypony had their own life. They don't give a damn about their economy, as their source of food and materials just came from magic, teleportation and quick-growing food. Everypony enjoyed their lives, well, except for some. There were also robbers who kept stealing money from others, but somepony's momma was so poor that the robbers had to break in to her house to leave money behind, which benefits the poor one. That isn't the same life that a group of ponies will face. There was a convention expedition thing (whatever it is) and everypony from Ponyville, Canterlot and other NEIGHboring cities were grouped as different teams in it, just like Top Gear racers and engineers working together so they would win. The said expedition is all about discovering anything away from Equestria, and they all have to go from one place to another. Imagine playing Pokemon Rescue Team: Explorers of Time and Darkness and you will know what I meant about that. There they have Time Turner both as the one who started the expedition and a challenger. "Now to all who joined this sport here, I am going to group you all into seven groups." says Time Turner, "Now, for the first group..." Time passes, as a purple coated unicorn waits for her to know who her groupmates will be. Even more time passes, and she's already asleep. After hearing her name called, she suddenly woke up, surprised, with a bit of red eyes, and a surprised face. She found out that her group mates are already called, the other groups left for their adventure, and it's night. Her group mates are of the following; a goofy-eyed grey pegasus, a classical grey pony, two pegasus ponies that looked similar to each other, and even Time Turner himself. She then becomes excited, and she asks for their names. "OMIGOSH, OMIGOSH, OMIGOSH! Time Turner is with me!" "Yes. Um, don't be too happy and excited, since I'm not even a celebrity, though. You're the leader of this group, okay?" "Oh, sorry then. Um, who are my group mates?" The 2 twin pegasi then told the purple unicorn their names. Their names are Flitter and Cloud Chaser. "I like muffins." The other pegasi with the goofy eyes said. "Pardon me, I'm Octavia. I don't usually talk often." the posh mare said, with a posh facial expression. The purple unicorn then introduced herself. "My name is Twilight Sparkle." "Your name is from a book that I hate? Heh, I want your name to be 'Harry Potter' instead." said Cloud Chaser, with a chuckle. "Well your momma's a potter!" Flitter yelled with a quite vigorous voice. "Hey! We are both from the same family, remember? So you're saying your mom smokes pot too?" "I like muffins" says the goofy-eyed pegasus. "Hush!" said the frustrated Time Turner "Stop acting like mere children here! Remember we're involved in a challenge?" "Oh, almost forgot!" Twilight said. "What group number are we?" "Seven." calmly said by Time Turner. "We are assigned to go to the Everfree Forest to investigate and discover more about it." "Okay then! Let's hurry it up!" said the now confident Flitter. They went to the Everfree, a forest full of strange life and other boring shit. Just imagine going underwater and find lots of unknown marine species, like the tripod fish. As they walk towards an abandoned castle, Twilight finds a mysterious gem lying somewhere on the ground, nearby a rock. "This might be useful for later" the curious Twilight said. The Seven continues to wander around the forest, following Twilight as she knows the way around the forest. As they reach the farthest of the area, they found something that wasn't usually there; lots of hi-tech weaponry and machines lying around the ground of a campsite filled with crates and notes. "Sweet Celestia! There's so many mysteries that we can-" Time Turner covered her mouth with his right hoof and whispering "Shush! Don't you know that we might get chased by a horde of zombie ponies in here?" "Never heard of it." says Cloud Chaser, holding a decapitated head of a pony wearing a traveler's hat, which she then noticed a piece of paper taped on the said hat. "Guys! Look what I found!" Cloud Chaser flashes the paper onto their faces. "More clues for our adventure!" "Let me see that." "Time Turner rudely takes the paper with an irritated face. He looks at the paper and it reveals a blueprint of a machine with two antennas and numbers, with a button at the bottom of it. "It's a drawing of some sort. Probably a machine, as it says in the blueprints that it can allow dimensional travel from one dimension from another, even to nonexistent places." Meanwhile, Twilight and Octavia are studying about the material objects they can find from the crates. Octavia finds a rusty, old knife from the dirt floor that looks like it originated from a Mayan tribe. It's stained with blood like someone recently used it. "Oh my, how unethical." whispered Octavia, with a nauseous look. "I can't believe that they can't afford to wash their materials. I guess somepony murdered somepony here." "Or just drunk and committed seppuku." Twilight replied, following a chuckle. "Or just for fun, since ponies nowadays lack a polite manner." Octavia answered, together they laughed for a while. The two then continued digging from the tents until they found a mysterious looking object. Elsewhere, Time Turner attempts to stop the goofy-eyed pegasus from playing with the weaponry. "Derpy! That is not a toy!" shouted Turner. "I just don't know what went wrong!" replied Derpy, then pulled the trigger and started firing bullets out of its end while aimed at the sky. It ran out of bullets several seconds later, and an eagle fell down to the earth. Time Turner then puts his hoof on his face, giving a disappointed look. Suddenly, Twilight and Octavia arrives, and told Time Turner about what they found. "So you're telling me that you found a machine somewhere inside a tent?" said the irritated Time Turner. "Well, show me where it is." Twilight and Octavia galloped towards the tent they found the machine inside. As Time Turner looks at it, he was surprised when he saw what he saw from the blueprint earlier; it was the same machine from the blueprint. Old and rusty yet sturdy and functioning, he dragged the machine from the tent and viewed it outside. It was dark, but the campfire wasn't extinguished by the campers yet, meaning they were chased by somepony or something and had to leave their campsite and bring all that they can, abandoning their weapons and notes. Twilight told Time Turner that they all should leave the Everfree Forest as fast as they can before the campers get back. Time Turner agreed, lifted the mysterious machine and proceeded to leave. But before they leave, the horde of zombie ponies mentioned earlier blocked their path. "HOLY SHI-" screamed the shocked Twilight, "We must run away from here as fast as possible! Now RUN!!" "Don't panic" replied Time Turner, a bit hollow looking, "Remember the teleportation spell?" "I'm an egghead." Twilight replied, with a bereft face. She summoned the teleportation spell and bought everyone and everything back to ponyville, including most of the zombie pony horde. "You fool." Octavia whispered, with a grumpy look, "Congratulations on turning Left 4 Dead into reality, but without the virus part." Twilight, reading a book about fictional creatures, looked up and replied "You're right, but they still eat flesh, though, and their rotten smell can revive the dead, just like King Harkinian's belching whenever he drinks wine in a funeral." Twilight wasn't wrong; the filth of the zombies revived the recently deceased ponies from the nearby hospitals, creating a massive horde of zombies, attacking doctors and eating their flesh one by one, second by second, creating new zombies as the ones that were killed die, except those that lost their cerebral cortex and their spine. Cloud Chaser drops her lower jaw from the extreme awesomeness of the zombie attacks. "I guess it's time to run away, now." said the amazed and terrified Flitter. "Hey, teleportation." Time Turner said with a bit of confident look. Twilight used the teleportation spell, again, now pointing on a shorter range. The entire group teleports to Twilight's library, now without the zombies. "Thank God." Time Turner whispered, expressing relief on his face. "Now we can continue studying about this mysterious machine. Put that rusty thing on the corner. Oh, and make sure you lock the doors and windows because there's zombies out there." Twilight levitates the machine using her magic and puts it on the corner. She noticed notes taped behind the rusty machine. She takes the notes and read what it says. COORDINATES OF KNOWN LOCATIONS This is the list of codes we recently discovered that can link to other dimensions of other worlds. Lab - 001 Rusty pit - 002 Ancient - 104 Church - 218 Error - 404 ~~not found~~ ??? - 501 Root -552/553 Loop - 555 Hell - 666 DON'T GO IN HERE Corridor - 747 Ship - 800 Vista - 902 Altar - 966 ??? - 983 Excavation - 992 Twilight switches to another note that says something else. We have discovered a new code is available to use for us to discover. We tried CMLXXXIII and it might be something that we will expect to have life in it. We don't know the name yet, but the result of our study said that it's 'something referring to riding a horse'. We don't know yet, but I hope we get back to earth alive. -Agent 911 Twilight then read the third and final note that informs about the last thing that happened to them. I'm writing this note before something else happens. We recently decapitated a cartoon horse with rotting flesh that smells like 20 rotten eggs in a dirty public toilet with rotten roadkill above it or simply my farts in high school mixed with ammonia and You know what? Forget that. The machine that we used for a very long time had been functioning normally ever since its first use, and we didn't have to repair it, since it never broke, even if its mechanisms are already rusting and crumpling by aging. The wisdom gem inside was already depleted of energy. One of our scouts had one of it and he's lost. We can't find him though, since he had a bag full of those batteries, which each of them are enough to power up a city in a century, or even my toaster. We're starting to worry here, since several of our teammates vanished after looking for our sco The note doesn't have any more information about the events the writer witnessed, the remaining spots left are blood and pepper spray. Who is this guy anyway? A cop? "Looks like we found information here!" Twilight shouted, with a curious look. "Hush!" whispered Time Turner "Didn't you remember what I told you about the-" It was too late; the zombie ponies heard their talking from the library. Twilight, embarrassed, replied to Turner "Whoops. Sorry" smiled and chuckled a bit, before frowning. The zombie ponies attempt to open the locked door by hitting their heads and other objects, including their fellow zombies, on it, just like those huge zombies from Plants VS Zombies. Derpy, not aware of what is happening, while the others panic and hug each other in fear, said "I want a muffin". "Not now, since there are zombie ponies trying to break into our houses here!" Flitter said, with a panicking face. "Quick, Twilight! Type in a code on that machine!" the panicking Time Turner yelled. Twilight pressed the buttons, typed in 001 and pressed the button. Didn't work, though. "I read the note earlier. It said the machine lost all of its source of energy. Don't think we can find one." "We're screwed!" Time Turner yelled "We're going to become zombie food. Oh God, give us more hope and wisdom." Twilight recalled what the note said; it said the word 'gem' on it, meaning that the gem she picked up from the soil earlier could be the power source of the rusty machine. Twilight found a scroll on the table and read its contents. Twilight, if you can read this, I'm sorry to inform you that I, too, joined the expedition. I'm group 4, meaning that I'm going to the badlands with Pinkie Pie! Everypony but Applejack, the ones from the hospital, the royal guards, the gardeners, and Mr. Waddle joined the expedition. That settles everything, except I took all the food from the fridge with me so I can eat something. Sorry! I just can't resist the delicious ~~plot~~ sandvich you made for me. Love you Twilight! -Spike As the zombies break the door even further, Twilight then continued focusing on installing the recently picked up gem and then opens the lid of the machine. She finds a transparent gem the same shape and size of the gem she found earlier, only lighter, atop a diamond shaped outlet. Twilight replaces the worn out gem with the new one. It then glows cyan, and the numbers on the machine glow white. Twilight puts on the lid again, and then pressed the big dark grey round button. The 2 antennas, along with the round ball serving as the "grip" to open the machine's lid, emit a plasma-like electric force that strike each other for several seconds before making a flash that transports everypony to the said dimension. The group find themselves in the lab, where all the humans had left earlier. The lab is located in a 3 story building where it was destroyed after the World War I. The lab is very old yet it doesn't smell, and there's barely any dust, but still has rust. It looks quiet, and there's no exit, as the exit is probably the one that is grated by iron bars. Everpony then started a conversation. "Looks like we're in for a new adventure." said the excited Cloud Chaser. "But where do we start?" Octavia replied, worried. "Let's find some cool hi-tech stuff we can find here!" Flitter spoke, still happy and confident. "Yeah, but it's kind of dirty and my bow tie might get stained by rust!" Octavia said, still worried. "Hey! Why did you still join this expedition anyway?" the curious Time Turner said. "Because DJ Pon3 asked me to do so and I don't have any concert to join anyway, so I got bored and got here, but never knew I should leave my bow tie." "Um, I don't care." says Flitter. "EXCUSE ME?!" Octavia spoke with a loud, angry voice. "Look, nobody cares-" "But I do! And I should've known that we aren't even wearing bio hazard suits!" "We don't normally wear clothes" "GUYS!!!" yelled Twilight, which her yelling silenced the two. "Ugh, this is why I work alone." The group then camped in for a while and pick up anything they can find around them. The story continues with them working in the lab, doing experiments and find notes and Octavia's diary, reading them and studying them, and getting Octavia to beat them up for good. There's more for them to discover and challenge, as The Author had stated that the story comes from anything he can think of as time passes. //-------------------------------------------------------// The Root //-------------------------------------------------------// The Root 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! //-------------------------------------------------------// The Edge //-------------------------------------------------------// The Edge Writing style has changed a bit ever since Luna ate an Oreo. The Seven travel to the Edge, which is the defense system of the Subnet. It's full of machines, protocols and a bunch of other boring shit everyone takes for granted. Twilight saw the awesomeness of the Edge, and it's like Dead Space, only more like chromed sugar cubes as walls. God I hope they don't get diabetes for eating it. Time Turner looks at the strange circular outlet on one of the walls. It looks like it can be connected by a certain kind of plug. "Hey, Twilight" said Time Turner "How about you put your horn in here?" "Oh no" Twilight replied "Here comes the sexual innuendo again." "It's an outlet that sucks di-" Flitter yelled out before being slapped on the face, again, by Cloud Chaser. "You sick fuck" the complaining Cloud Chaser said to Flitter who rubbed her own cheek due to pain. Twilight then attempted to put her horn on the outlet. It fits, and then she casts a magic spell. Suddenly, she's connected to the machine. She saw many gibberish numbers and figures all over, colored in green. The background is in darker green towards black, with a grid of green lines, both horizontally and vertically, like the pattern of a graphing paper. Every window flashed before her eyes like having a seizure. It shows windows saying "TURRET ARMED", "MAINFRAME SYSTEM ACTIVE" or even "CLICK FOR SODA". While surfing the Subnet for ~~porn~~ a switch, Twilight then saw a window that says "ELEVATOR INACTIVE". She then switched it on somehow by thinking about it. It now says "ELEVATOR ACTIVE", and then it seems that nothing happened. "I'm bored" complained Twilight. She disconnects herself from the machine, and exits the digital world. Octavia looks behind her, and there she saw a cube that has a door on it that says "GATEWAY TO VANDALIZING THE MAINFRAME HERE". She then called the other members who were arguing. "And you lost your virginity to a mechanical outlet!" says Flitter. "At least your brother will avoid you once he finds out what you did!" "Oh shut the fuck up." Twilight answered, frustrated because of what Flitter said. "Guys..." Octavia called. "Why?" Flitter asked. "Because you're annoying." Twilight said. "Why?" "Because you have bad manners." "Why?" "Because you kept thinking of dirty thoughts!" Twilight raised her voice. "Why?" "Because it's not nice and off topic!" Twilight raised her voice with a more frustrated voice. "Why?" "GUYS!" Octavia attempted to gain attention once more, with an angry look. "... Why?" Flitter chuckled. "Ugh, look behind me." Octavia pointed behind her while looking in front of them. Everypony saw the elevator door. Time Turner and the other ponies trotted into the elevator, except for one. Octavia wonders where Derpy is. "DERPY!" Time Turner called, which the camera thing reveals Derpy sticking her tongue out and bringing it closer to a fast moving cooling fan on an open vent. Derpy stops, and then follows Turner. "To the third floor, I guess..." Cloud Chaser said, pressing the button leading to the topmost part of the defense system. The elevator goes up, and it zoomed towards the top floor. Meanwhile, the human follows them by means of using random codes from one to 462, finally reaching The Listener's Room, where he/she found a note that leads to 552. Knowing that someone went to the Root, he/she goes pack to the portal, and went there. Twilight and her not-so worthwhile pals walked on the surface. There's nothing much they can find there, except for wiring, pipes and a rocky surface beneath them. Octavia got a bit more pissed off as the dust she stepped on stained her bow tie. "Darn it" complained Octavia, "It's okay if my mane was to be covered with dirt, but my bow tie, which wasted me 200 bits... Dear God, why?" "Stop nagging" Twilight replied "There's more than a billion of those in the future, and don't worry. If we get first place, we'll earn a million bits!" Octavia's angry mood changed to excitement after hearing this. She then runs around her group mates, shouting "OMIGOSH" in repeat. Imagine me doing that in public without any pants... The group then reaches a turret. Its sensors detected a floating Cloud Chaser, which in turn armed itself. Twilight knew that she should've switched the turret off. It's aim is locked towards Cloud Chaser, while it's filling itself with its massive rounds. Twilight then shouted "RUN!", but then Time Turner said "Teleportation?" "Oh shut up" Twilight responded. She then teleported everypony back to the location of the elevator just in time before being disintegrated into a Caesar Salad. But to everypony's demise, the elevator disappeared. Probably the defense system was smart enough to avoid escape. "Duck." Time Turner said in fear, "The turret is slowly walking towards us. What are we gonna do?" Twilight, remembering something familiar, then ordered Time Turner to do something. "WHAT? ARE YOU SERIOUS? HOW ARE WE GONNA SURVIVE THAT?" Turner complained death going to happen for them if they jumped. "Trust me" Twilight replied, with a similar voice to Arnold Schwarzenegger. Twilight grabbed Time Turner's foreleg, along with him grabbing Octavia's foreleg. The triad jumped to their seemingly endless fall just before the turret can shoot them. Suddenly, something broke their fall. It's not the pegasi lifting them either. It was another turret, grabbing the pegasi, whilst aiming at the wingless ponies. "We're screwed, mate" Octavia said "Goodbye cruel world." Suddenly, something cut off their power source, causing them to stop moving, like someone had to pause the game to pee, and then come back to playing after finishing. Twilight and Time Turner stopped hugging each other in their belief that they are safe. Octavia wondered who stopped the turret's power source. Looking at the bottom is a muffin clogging the mechanisms of a power box, and because muffins contain iron and healthy conductive minerals, it short circuited the wires, causing it to explode. Derpy is seen eating one of those at the side. Time Turner then said, "Sometimes I love dumbasses". The pegasi lifted the wingless ponies up to the surface. Twilight looks closer to the giant legged turret the size of 3 Iraq styled houses mixed together. As she looks closer, she saw a piece of paper. Twilight then read its contents. Once you mess something up, the defense systems lock you up for good. There's only one escape, though, and that is the vent. Ende. Twilight now realized that since she messed something up, there's no way she can escape now. But then, she recalled one event, involving Derpy, her tongue, and a cooling fan. She then started looking for vents. She saw one vent piping entrance, rusty and covered in dirt. "There it is, Turner!" Twilight shouted excitedly, "We must enter that vent to get to the portal once again!" "What vent? Oh, that..." Octavia replied, "I ain't gonna let my bow tie get ruined by rust once again." "Okay then, we'll leave you here." Cloud Chaser answered. They all went into the vent pipe. Octavia, not being able to resist because of the spooky surroundings and the noise of sparking wires and steam, ran into the vent, yelling "WAIT FOR ME!" The human reaches the Root. He/she discovered that the power failed. Then he/she went into the darkness with a flashlight. The human wanders around the area, only finding a bloody knife on an circuit box. The human believes that someone murdered someone else, destroyed the circuit box, hid the body somewhere else and went to the portal to escape. He then went to the other side of the Root to find the "murderer" or the victim of it. Meanwhile, Twilight's friends are cramped in the vent. "Okay, who farted?" Turner asked. "Wasn't me" Cloud Chaser replied. "Why would I do such?" Octavia answered. "Not gonna" Flitter told them. "Muffins" Derpy said. "Really, Octavia?" Flitter asked. "What? No. Farting is unethical, especially in a cramped zone like this!" Octavia said, angrily. "WILL YOU GUYS JUST SHUT UP?" Twilight screamed "Farting is natural so stop arguing!" "So you farted?" Cloud Chaser asked. "No. It must be the effect of the carbon dioxide gases from the leaking canisters of the defense system's mechanical automation that causes the smell of rotten feces, therefore concluding that nopony has released CO2 gas from their flanks." Twilight's explanation has confused everypony but Time Turner, which kept all of their mouths shut. While they are in the vent, they found out that the way to the portal has been blocked by a mechanical fan. No intentions of escape, they go around somewhere else. The human went to 553. He/she saw that the door is already open. The human then walked into the lighted temple set and then he/she found several messages carved on the wall. Not so surprised, the human reads the messages written by someone using the jewel scattered on the floor. I LOVE MUFFINS 747 *scribble scribble* NONSENSE - SENSE OF NOTHING The human taught that they went back to the portal to escape to the defense systems, and got locked into it. He/she went back to the portal to catch up, abandoning the search for the victim's body. The ponies reach another vent, finally something that looks like an exit. "Freedom!" yelled Flitter. "Or not..." replied Twilight, after seeing that they are locked in another part of the defense system. "Shit" Turner then gives an advice "Let's turn around somewhere else." They turned around to see that the rest of the vent has been shut down and locked. They're all locked in, just like what Twilight saw on the note. Speaking of notes, Octavia found a note taped on a wall. She then asked Twilight to read it, but then Twilight replied "No way, you read it. I have enough reading for one day", but Octavia said "But I taught you like reading!" Twilight, having no other choice than nag all day long, reads the note's message. Every area has its own escape, I eat live cats and there's another portal nearby. Time Turner looks around for a door, he found nothing but an outlet, a similar looking outlet that they saw earlier. "Twilight" Time Turner called her name "Try to put your horn inside this thing once more!" "Yeah, and get laid once more!" Flitter responded. "Shut the hay up" Twilight answered to Flitter. "Nah, I do it for the lulz" Flitter then chuckled and said "This novel's genre is about comedy, right?" "Oh, I see. Wait, what novel?" Twilight became curious. "Nothing, nothing..." Time Turner said. Twilight became suspicious at first, but then forgets it, and then plugged her horn into the outlet. A brief flash shone on Twilight's eyes before she saw the matrix once again. There, she searches for a way to disable the defense system. She finds a window that says "SECONDARY DS ACTIVE", which, after she chose "DISABLE", a password was required. Twilight then stood there for a while, and then asking the other ponies. "What's the password for this?" Twilight asked. "Muffins!" Derpy answered. Twilight, having no other choice, typed in "MUFFINS". Strangely, the machine accepted that password, and then Twilight has the choice if she wants to disable the Secondary Defense System or not. She chose yes, like what everyday heroes would do just to get their hands on their online kiddy porn. The screen now says "SECONDARY DS FAILURE", even the background says so. Twilight then exits the Subnet world, everypony stared at her like "OMG you did it!" and Twilight responds by saying "Aw, don't be to amazed", in which Flitter responded "Were we even talking about you?". The human finally arrived at the edge, but there's something wrong. Everything is foggy, all the doors are open, and the Elevator's at his/her front. The human went to the second floor, which he/she finally found the group. The Seven were talking. "And then you married a wall, and slept with it!" Flitter replied, before Cloud Chaser hits her head with a lead pipe, saying "WHY WON'T YOU SHUT UP?" Flitter then regains from the pain she felt, and then saw a figure on the elevator. "Guys?" Flitter asked "Who or what is that?" she points her right foreleg on the figure. Everypony screamed like a little girl, except for Time Turner, who is a boy, and doesn't scream because only girls scream, and boys yell and shout out words like "ALLAH ACKBAR". The human walks closer. Cloud Chaser then attempted to use the lead pipe on the figure and uses it as a fencing foil. "Don't come closer" Cloud Chaser warned the human, just before he/she draws his/her shotgun, which scared the shit out of Cloud Chaser and the other ponies. "Tits!" Flitter said, before she heard somepony say "Hey that's not cool", she then found the same skull she got from the first chapter, which then said "Seriously". Then the figure walks closer, holding the shotgun, pointing it upwards. The figure then reveals himself to be... Osama Bin Laden! Man, wasn't that a blast- no wait, it was actually the Terminator. Sorry guys. "Come with me if you want to live" the Terminator said. "Who are you?" Twilight asked. "I am a Terminat-" something stabbed through the Terminator's chest from behind. It's the turret's working sentient leg. The Terminator's power source then bounces to the floor, which Derpy picks up. "Muffin!" she said. Thinking it's a special kind of muffin, she keeps it on her pocket, if she ever had one. "HYDRA!" Flitter picks up the shotgun and points it at the leg's 'eye' or sensors. "Hasta la vista, baby." Flitter told to the leg, before shooting the leg's eye out. It became paralyzed, and then shuts down. "Thank God for weaponry!" Octavia yelled out loud. "Shh!" Time Turner said "Didn't you know what will happen if- Ah, shucks, here we go again." Small spider-like sentient sub-bots crawl towards them in VERY large masses. "Time to teleport!" Twilight shouted, which caught Time Turner's attention, looking at Twilight's eyes. "See? I learned." Twilight said. She then casts a spell in which everypony teleports into the elevator. Twilight pressed the button to go to the first floor. Octavia then wondered why the hay Twilight didn't teleport them all to the portal instead of going through all those puzzles in the first place. As the elevator's door open, the portal is in front of them. Twilight made sure there's no sign of something or someone in there that would be a threat to them. She then said "Sector clear!" which Time Turner responds with "Roger that!", revealing that Turner is lying atop Twilight's back. "What?" Turner asked. "Get off me" Twilight ordered the brown horse to get off her back, which he did so. Then they choose another code for the portal. "Where should we go next?" asked Octavia. "The Land of Chocolate?" Cloud Chaser replied. "Muffin?" Derpy replied. "Let's try the Loop!" Flitter gave another idea. "I'm out of ideas." Twilight said. "Maybe let's just go back home instead." "I found a note!" Turner picks up a piece of paper taped behind the portal. He then reads what it says. After some hours of laziness I therefore conclude that the Core is awesome. Period. Wanna go there? Try 291 for more details about the Core! Unknown if the Terminator was the one who put that note, since it wasn't there before, they typed 291 on the portal, and hit the big round button. They teleport somewhere else. Meanwhile, a woman was running for her life. She reached an escape pod and launched herself ~~TO THE MOON~~ towards the voidness of the Subnet. A man with only one arm then said "Shit. She got away. Quick, boys! We're gonna make a new portal here!" He uses his invisible arm (like my invisible driver's license) and summoned a giant green portal, which he and his men jumped into to follow the woman. What a stalker that guy was. //-------------------------------------------------------// The Core //-------------------------------------------------------// The Core The writer changed his mind and was like "Screw this, man. I'm changing my style of storytelling!" and then found a way to get ideas. That changes the way the story will be done, yo. As I said, they went to the core, which is full of junk and shit. So this time, they saw how epic it was. Everypony, except for some, were amazed to see floating junk and machines all over a wall with a hole on it. Like, why the hell are they amazed at a wall with tons of garbage around it? Is it that this "garbage" gave a new meaning to life? Is it that the hole was created by the rubbish? Whatever, that is life. So back to what I was talking about, Flitter came here and told Twilight that "Man, this here machine has created a hole!" but then Twilight was like "I know, they busted a hole through the wall with that giant machine". And then she said "That tight hole was caused by a giant disco stick!" but Twilight said "Shut the hell up and be more serious or else I will plunge a burning potato up your plot!" therefore making Flitter scared as buck. Speaking of buck, Octavia just arrived from Starbucks Coffee after using some random portal code from a note that says this: Note to self; food supply at lab, 001, riz, fly, yor, mom, cum, sum, bum, rum, ???, profit!! Now that Octavia ate so much classy food that she needs to shit, it is revealed that there is no ~~spoon~~ toilet inside the core. Well, there is one, but not on the current area they are in. "Oh dear" she said "Where art thou restroom for thy rectum shalt release thy filth of thee?" Then Flitter was like "Make your own toilet you little shit." After that, Octavia stood up like a boss and then said "I'm bigger than you!" "I used to be bigger than you" But then, Octavia was like, "SCREW THIS, I'M MAKING MY OWN TOILET". And so our classy pony went to a Lego store from out of nowhere and bought herself a "Make Your Own Damn Toilet" kit. She finished building it and sat there, reading newspaper while she shits a ton. Maybe she actually ate Taco bell. Everypony was like, "What dafuq?" and then she's all "Don't bug me". And then everypony else continued searching for an exit. Cloud Chaser then needed to pee. She said "Oh my glob, my bladder! Octavia, can you build me a toilet too?" Then she said "Buck off, fitch. Make your own". After that, Cloud Chaser said "Aw, mare. Fine, I'll pee on the grass" As she peed on the grass, it crushed some portions of the core. Twilight examined the gold shower spilled on the grass and concluded that horse piss can shatter the very fabric of the core. Octavia, still taking a shit, ignored everything and just continued reading the newspaper which for no reason turned into a Where's Waldo book. The skin and bones of the core was like "AAAAAAAAA!" and then turned into tiny bite sized pieces, dude. Most of them were like, "Wee!" while the others were like "OMG! WTF?" and one of them was like "Muffins". They found a man on the street, he said "Hey kids!" but Octavia was like, "I'm older than you!" but he said "I used to be older than you" and then Time Turner was like "Hey, I'm a time lord! Your insolence I no longer tolerate anymore!" but before he kicks Octavia in the shins, a lot of sub-bots crawl towards them. They seem to stalk them at every part of the world. The man inhaled some nonexistent air and yelled the words "RUN!" but Time Turner said "Teleportation?", then Twilight slapped his face with the energy cell Derpy picked up earlier and it's about to explode. "Stop being a faggot!" she said, and then she teleported all of them to the second layer, including the man and sub bots. Most parts of the first layer now crumples to dust. "I remember this mistake before!" Twilight said "Ah, the good ol days". Turner then said "Are we gonna run or just die?" but she said "Teleportation?" and he said "My insults haunt me back" but then Octavia, still on the toilet, yelled on their ears and said "OH HURRY IT UP! OUR DIRECTOR'S FEELING A BIT TOO IMPATIENT NOW!" and Twilight said "Don't blame me, I didn't make this script. The sub bots are chasing all of them but Octavia, as she had an excuse for the sub bots involving defecation. There seems to have no hope for them left, until the animator of those freaking sub-bots suffered a fatal heart attack. The sub-bots then ceased to exist, their journey in this motherbucking Subnet shall continu I apologize, but I, The Writer, had a mental condition that time and had to beat up The Other Writer who messed up the story you just read above. Where did you stop again? e. They then started to wonder where Octavia went. To their disbelief, they found her finally standing upright once again, walking towards them out of the cave, with clean toilet paper ~~taped~~ stuck on her flank. In the fate of her defecation, there is blood dripping from his hind leg. They first taught she had a menstrual, but as the shadow of the cave disappears, she has a metal claw, 12 inches long, impaled through her abdominal area. Blood isn't coming out of her mouth, as the claw missed all her vital organs. The sympathy of Twilight forced her to ask the latter what's wrong. "Oh my dear loving savior!" Twilight screamed in agony and fear "What happened to you?" "The sub bots did this to me" Octavia replied in a clear voice, meaning that she's okay. "But I can't seem to pull this claw out, as it has a hole at the end to keep it stuck in my flesh". "If you don't remove that thing off you then you will get tetanus!" Time Turner exclaimed. "It's only a makeup" Flitter said to them, a bit too annoyed by their role playing. "Shh!" Everypony, including the man they befriended, said. "Let's just get on with the story" Cloud Chaser whispered in a low tone still heard by the audience. They then proceeded to find another portal. In the night of Ponyville, the Submachine from Twilight Sparkle's tree house started to spark out several bolts of cyan colored electricity. Then, a flash broke out and then a group of humans, in Asian race, equipped with weaponry and supplies, were amazed to see a cartoon world. "Man, this machine is awesome!" one of them exclaimed. "Tumahimk ka!" their leader, a man donning a brown fedora and a trench coat in the same color, spoke "This might be a new world for us to conquer, and our terrorist organization will rise". "Pero sir Giovanni," one of them who just came from outside asked, "Where will we get recruits? This city may look awesome but we can't find anyone to recruit, and our numbers are as low as a penis before erection". "Mayroong tayong paraan" whispered Giovanni, in a calm voice, "We shall establish a company here. Let's hope that nothing stupid happens". But one of them was screaming in pain. "SAKLOLO! MY LEG'S BEING EATEN!" one of the allies guarding the outdoors screamed. "Diyos ko!" Giovanni yelled, "Divine intervention is NOT futile, even if you escape! Let's get the hell out of here!" They all, but one, then teleported somewhere else using the Submachine and went to 551, and never came back. The stuff they once held is now seated at the right side of the Submachine, close to the entrance, where the zombies once were. They disappear as they were holograms, and the one that bit one of their ally's leg was a brown dog. The soldier is left alone, or so his thoughts had said. A white alicorn, wearing a crown that shines from the light of the sun, with a mane and tail moving magically and majestically around the air, stomps the air in front of the lone man. She stands hugely, half a foot taller than him. She then asks several questions. "Might I ask your name?" The white alicorn asks politely. "Sargent Aragon Shahlavi of the Philippine Hackers Group, PHG for short. Sino ka?" "Princess Celestia of Canterlot, current supreme ruler of Equestria and the controller of the sun" She said. "Holy shit, you control the sun?" "Yes, and my knowledge about magic is vast." "And my knowledge about swallowing my own mucus without blowing it out of my nose is vast too! Shall I demonstrate?" "I refuse. By the way, might I ask about the machine and what it does?" "Nah, we just found it was there from out of nowhere. Say, are those real zombies or just holograms?" "What I sent is holograms. What came here a long time ago were real. They disappear at the day and thrive at the night." "But it's nighttime!" "Night soil. There they are. Let's hide!" Celestia teleported herself and the latter to Canterlot, which is now full of rich people and lights, currently having its entrance closed. Then the director told the following words: WILL YOU GUYS HURRY IT UP? YOU KNOW THAT THERE ARE OTHER SCENES TO DISPLAY. I SHALL FIRE THOSE WHO MADE THE SCRIPT AND THEN HIRE NEW ONES. THE READERS MAY GET BORED. THANK YOU. "I shall foretell you something" Celestia calmly whispered to Shahlavi, "The writer may end this sooner or later" "I know right." he said. Back to Group Seven. They found something that looks like an escape pod rocket ready to launch. It's carved with bullet holes all over its body, but none ever penetrated through its metal and concrete shield. Octavia then checked if it still functions well. "Still works, has a button that says 'LAUNCH NUKE' on it with a rusty look." "Say what?" Flitter exclaimed loudly, "Man, don't do anything that may cap our flanks out!" "I just don't know what went wrong!" said Derpy, who's posterior has pressed the said button. "SHIT, DERPY!" said Time Turner, "DON'T YOU KNOW THAT BOMB WILL DESTROY ANYTHING IT TOUCHES? IT MIGHT DESTROY US AS WELL!" The missile launched itself to an unknown target. It moves in a speed of 25 miles per hour, as fast as an elbow slash from a Bokator practitioner, which if you follow your elbow for at least four hours you've traveled to Philadelphia from New York. "... Forget that, let's just go!" Time Turner said, a bit embarrassed from his actions. "I agree" spoke Flitter. As they stepped forward, they find a green disc that glows stronger as you move closer to it. "Man, even MORE nuclear radiation!" Cloud Chaser has exclaimed in an excited voice. "I see that the light does not give any effect to my body" Octavia, elegantly speaking. As they stood there, Flitter pushes her sister towards the glowing disc, almost touching it, and it glowed strong enough to reveal several incomplete circular lines rotating around it like an atom's electrons. "Oops!" Flitter apologized "I apologize for doing such, because I did that on purpose!" "Why do that? You almost killed me!" Cloud Chaser said. "Because it's fun?" "Oh shut up." "Whatever, sis. I'm the clumsy one around here." "No, Derpy was." Derpy then pushed all of them, touching the green disc. Then, they all turn into a glowing beam of light heading straight towards the 5th layer, as one of the telescope reveals. They travel to an unknown void of nothingness, and then reach the world of more nothingness. The 1st layer's edge. The 1st layer is the dimension they were in all along, meaning to say that The Core is just another dimension that will slowly cease existence in the future; the portals are slowly shattering the very fabric of the 1st layer, along with urine. "Thanks, our dear bloodied source of stupidity." yelled Octavia to Derpy. "Am I in Muffin Land?" Derpy asked them all. "Derpy," Time Turner then looked at Derpy's face, saying "If this is a land of muffins, there shouldn't be a large amount of black matter and darkness all over it, right? You, an inquisitive pegasus, must think more about the air around you." "... Are you the brain specialist?" Derpy again asked another question to them all. "No!" cried the sarcastic Flitter who knows about what Derpy is referencing, "No I am not the brain specialist. No! No I am not... Yes! Yes I am!" "My brain hurts!" complained Derpy. "This lead pipe's the solution..." "Look, guys!" Twilight interrupted their conversation, "I have found this machine!" It's a remote control. 8 buttons leading to 7 different dimensions (one missing), 2 strands of wire connecting to some sort of electrodes, a button that has the word "Anal" on it, and a lot of tape. Just like another piece of junk made by a kid from a nearby dump yard, it functions as a "toy" that leads to different dimensions in your childish little brain full of wonders when, in reality, you're just doing it like you're a total ass. Twilight made a duplication spell and turned the 2 electrodes into 14, and then they all wore it into their heads. They foresaw that all buttons are blue; Twilight presses the first one, nothing happened. "Told you it's a toy" Flitter said to Twilight. "Relax, let's try the second button..." Twilight presses the second button, they suddenly teleport to a mysterious mosque of somewhat Arabic origin. They notice that everypony are still in their same positions, except the forgotten man they have befriended. Then they hear a large explosion in the volume of a small pomf, Octavia's sharp ears had heard the noise. "Um, I heard that" Octavia had spoken. "I hear nothing but bananas!" Derpy complained. "Derpy, do bananas even sound like ANYTHING?" Time Turner asked Derpy a question that a six year old can answer. "Um... Yes?" Derpy then looks at a bright star from far away. "Wait... Is that the Star of Bethlehem?!" Twilight asked herself, "Yes! Now I can start studying about the phenomenon that caused the ancient star to appear for 2 years! Oh, this is a new discovery, I can't wait to conclude that this mysterious remote control of ours can be used as a time travel device!" "Twilight" Cloud Chaser asked, "Are you sure that's the Star of 'Beat-lee-him'... However you say it, and not the nuke Derpy's iron backside has launched?" "Let me get my spy telescope first..." Twilight then focuses her lenses at the night sky, concluding that it's indeed a nuclear explosion and not a supernova, a planetary conjunction, a comet, an alien UFO, or all of those combined. "So does that conclude that every dimension in this mysterious world we're exploring is a whole?" Twilight asked to herself. "Er, how about you press the first button again, like you did earlier. Pretty please?" Octavia asked Twilight, politely. "Jeez, don't have to be very polite to do so..." Twilight then pressed the button and then they all teleport back to the 1st layer, which crumples to dust, again. They found the man's floating corpse, hanging on a lamp post by his underwear, seemingly looked like he got a wedgie before the explosion. "... Well that was a waste of time" Flitter complained. Back to the Filipino general and the Princess. They are having a conversation inside Celestia's palace. "Ah, so my faithful student went to this so called 'Submachine', am I right?" Celestia asked. "That question's already been answered twice now" Shahlavi told to the princess, "And the Submachine has 7 different layers, not just one." "Really?" "Here, I have proof..." Shahlavi then reveals a blueprint of some sort of map. "This is the entire Submachine world" Shahlavi told Celestia, and then points his right hand's finger towards an "X" mark, "This is where we originated" and then slides his finger towards a small square, saying "And this is where we are now". "So you mean that..." Celestia pauses for a moment, looking up in the sky, realizing that there's a small crack on the sky, and glowing a faint cyan colored light. "Great, this is like the Matrix all over again" Celestia then trots around, thinking about what to do next. "You all live in a dimension not authorized by people like us" Shahlavi told Celestia, "We're from a world not of yours, but we have broken the law." "The law of what?" Celestia asked. "The law of reality." Shahlavi's simple reply has made Celestia blow her mind. The general then continues his speech. "We have added another law to the Ten Commandments of the Submachine world. That law states 'thou shalt travel many earths and discover more, but thou shalt not be thine vandal who ruins a third of thine beautiful art; he shalt be deemed responsible for any scratches one hast caused to thine beautiful cloth' meaning to say that if you scratch my clothes, you're dead." "... Is that a joke?" Celestia asked. "Yes. Only the parts with my clothes and not the Commandments part." He replied. "Oh" Celestia sighed in relief, "I first taught you're trying to take my crown and get yourselves sent to the moon and-" Suddenly, they realize it's already nighttime. The zombie horde has risen from where they once had fallen onto. "Okay, are those the zombies?" Shahlavi asked. "I'm afraid that's a yes" Celestia nods at the same time she said those words. "Then we're fucked. Have a nice day" One of Shahlavi's assistants said (who somehow returned since he's loyal to his boss that time). "I'm not gonna listen to your gay karaoke again, Shahlavi! Ahem..." He then opens the door, with a lot of rotting hooves trying to grab him, "Who's hungry?" He asked the zombies, before he gets pulled outside and eaten for lunch, the door closing itself. Celestia, her men, and Shahlavi stare at the door in surprise. "... I need vodka" Shahlavi requested.
