Location: Somewhere outside Ponyville, Equestria-1-A, Spearpoint Timeline

Metal Sonic burst through the dimensional barrier, crashing into Rainbow Dash. The pegasus crashed into a tree. Rainbow Dash recovered in six seconds, circled around the tree, and smashed into Metal Sonic.

Metal Sonic fired a laser from the center of its body, hitting the cyan pegasus.

“Now you’ve done it!” shouted Rainbow, speeding into Metal. As the pegasus built more and more speed, a rainbow explosion burst forth. As the ground raced closer, Metal shouted, “I am meant to be the ultimate speedster. I will not lose to some pastel pony!” Metal Sonic kicked his way out of Rainbow Dash’s non-existent grip, and punched her in the face.

“I am the true ultimate speedster, and none shall get in my way!” shouted Metal Sonic. Metal ripped a boulder out of the ground, and carved it into the shape of a scythe.

Metal Sonic threw a small device to the ground, which then projected a screen with a single number on it: 42. Metal Sonic rammed into Rainbow Dash, charging towards Yakyakistan. 46.3. Rainbow Dash kicked Metal Sonic off of herself, before Metal’s foot slammed into her face. Rainbow Dash barely recovered before Metal grabbed her front left hoof and swung her around while lowering himself. 59.6. Letting go, Rainbow Dash crashed into a tree. Rainbow Dash got up, speeding at Metal Sonic again, but Metal levitated a rock into the air. Rainbow barely managed to swerve around it. Metal Sonic pulled out a gun, pulled the trigger, and a boxing glove smacked Rainbow in the face. 69.

“Resistance is futile.” Metal Sonic shot a rocket from his back right into Rainbow Dash's face. Rainbow Dash shook off the attack, and charged at maximum speed. An explosion of color shot out in every direction, including Metal Sonic. Sonic's robot doppelganger crashed into a tree.

“What do you think of my Sonic Rainboom?” she asked.

“Useless,” replied Metal, “Stupid, powerless, and many more words that I will not waste my time on.” 72.8. Metal Sonic dropped down and punched the ground, rocks shooting up from everywhere. An earthquake started about that moment. And finally, the rainbow pegasus fell. 99.82.

“That’s all that is required. A metal copy will be created.” Metal Sonic dragged Rainbow Dash through the portal.


Location: An unidentified school, United States, North America, True Earth

The non-superpowered counterparts of NightFlame and Loomis walked and talked together near the gym inside the school. "I finally completed the invasion of Russia," said Loomis, "On this side, we have the Communist Crushing Ponies, or the CCP for short. I did that to confuse everyone."

"Chinese Communist Party. Makes sense."

"Then there's the AAL, the Anti-American League. In the CCP there's Woodrow Wilson, Ospot, British, and some soldier guys. In the AAL there's the generic Russian guy, Lars, Australian Drug Dealer, and Derpy Stalin."

"Why is Australian Drug Dealer in the Anti-American League?" asked NightFlame.

"Because Woodrow invaded Australia," explained Loomis.

"But why? Why would he do that?" asked NightFlame

"You made his fucking corpse invade India," countered Loomis.

"Yeah, good point."


Location: Dimensional Barrier between Skylands-1 and the Dragon Dimension, Spearpoint Timeline

The shadow dragon summoned by Strykore in the previous chapter

"I was wondering when this story would become self aware."

arrived at the Dimensional Barrier. With one blast of pure shadow, the barrier gave way. The shadow dragon flew through the new hole.

The shadow dragon enveloped itself in a ball of shadow, and teleported far inside an ancient ruin, right in front of two purple colored dragons. The two dragons barely had time to register that there was now a shadow monster standing in front of them before the shadow dragon enveloped both in shadow, leaving behind their skeletons. Two more shadow dragons rose. The first shadow dragon absorbed the other two, and grew far more powerful. The shadow dragon flew into another chamber, leaving behind nothing but a purple egg.


Location: Central City, Earth-Prime, Spearpoint Timeline

Eobard Thawne sat in a chair, observing the outside. Another chair sat opposite of Eobard. A black speedster with blue lightning zoomed into the room.

"Zolomon," said Eobard, "I was expecting you." Hunter Zolomon suddenly appeared in the other chair.

"The man gave you one job, and you handed it to Cain."

"It's not that bad."

"You know he'll kill you."

"I'm not scared of him."

"You were scared of me."

A purple vortex portal appeared. The two evil speedsters turned to face the newcomer. The one who stepped out of the portal was covered by a hood. He had four arms, two demon horns, a demon tail, and extremely sharp teeth.

"Thawne. The task was yours."

Hunter chuckled. "What did I tell you, Thawne?"

"I'll kill him later," Eobard responded, "I've calculated that he will arrive in this universe, and I'll just get rid of him then."

"You had one job!" roared Dark Lord, "You tossed it aside, and instead, you're taking your chances on this one thing that might happen in the future?"

"Sorry, not sorry."


Location: Cult of Cain Fortress, Sonic's World, Spearpoint Timeline

Metal Sonic returned with Rainbow Dash's unconscious body, which was dumped right in front of Cain. Cain snapped his fingers, and teleported Rainbow Dash into the specially marked cell just for her in a flash of golden light. Snapping his fingers again, a green portal opened.

"Let's see what shit we find this time," Cain said to himself. He leaped through the portal to nowhere.


Cain appeared back where he found the potato device. The treasure chest was still opened. Cain walked over and peered inside. Instead of being empty, there was now a pulsating metallic orb, marked "The Heart of the Apocalypse". Underneath that was "Use only in an emergency. (I'm watching you, Loomis)".

"This is perfect. A superweapon to get arrested for a war crime by using it." He ripped the invisible tape off. "Tape. Huh." On the back was another piece of invisible tape, with more words: "Death comes for us all. Except for the robots. Use on any non-evil robot to turn them evil. They'll spread the effects themselves." He ripped the other piece of tape off. "No one can fucking tell me how to use this piece of shit."

"Shut up, bitch!" shouted some random guy from really far away. Cain moved inhumanly fast, and stopped right in front of the guy.

"Say that again."

"Shut up...?" Cain's hand shot up, and absorbed the life energy of the other guy.

"You won't ever talk again. Heh. Sometimes, I scare myself with my power."

NightFlame teleported in the room. "Cain. You found the Heart of the Apocalypse."

"You can't tell me what to do!" Cain pulled a skateboard and a landmine out of nowhere, tossed the landmine on the ground, and chucked the skateboard onto the landmine. The landmine exploded, obliterating the skateboard.

NightFlame briefly facepalmed, before continuing, "That thing is dangerous. Metal Virus dangerous. I hid it here because why would anyone come looking here? This is a parallel universe where nothing exists, and nothing will ever exist."

"Aren't we in the middle of a cave?"

"Shut the fuck up. Anyway, how should I end this?"

Cain thought about the question for a moment. "Maybe abruptly, without any reason for it to even

The End.


Author's Note

Oh hey, look, Rainbow Dash is here!

Things of note: Dark Lord's debut, Rainbow Dash's debut, Spry's debut, ORD-003's debut, and my debut outside of the overpowered god character that can snap Superman's arm.

Superman: *screams in the distance*
Oh look, the hostage is screaming again.
NightFlame (in the distance): You are fighting that guy, whether you like it or not!
Superman: I'm not killing him!
*mind control noises*
NightFlame: You are.

Anyway, where was I? Wait... am I the baddie? Oh cool two dislikes. Yeah, I probably am.
