After the villains won for the very first time, everything seems hopeless. And it is. For now.

NightFlame has set events into motion far beyond what anyone could have predicted. Cain, Grogar, Predator, and the others succeeded in what they set out to do. How could anything get worse? The answer is kidnapping. The answer is always kidnapping (and dinosaurs, but the budget couldn't handle it).

Note: Profanity is mostly in chapter 2, and so is Rainbow Dash

Location: Midnight Castle, Tambelon, Equestria-1-A, Spearpoint Timeline

“This pony was spreading anti-Tambelon propaganda, your excellency,” said one of the guards, “His name is Stygian.” Grogar leaned back into his throne.

“Stygian. What a most unusual name. It seems you have a lot to learn about how I run things.”

“You are a false emperor!” screamed Stygian, “Everything here is nothing but an illusion!”

“If this were an illusion, it would have been created by the Phantom Ruby,” retorted Grogar, “This is clearly the real life. Not a fantasy. I worked so unbelievably hard to create this perfect world, and the first thing that happens is you, of all ponies, spreading lies.”

“So you admit to this world being fake.” Grogar thought for a moment.

“You aren’t entirely wrong,” Grogar responded, “This isn’t the real world, yes, but it isn’t fake. But since you know too much…” Grogar pressed a yellow button that popped up on his throne. “You will not be allowed to go back outside.” The bewitching bell appeared on Grogar’s neck. Grogar raised the bell. A blue magic aura appeared on Stygian’s horn, but soon disappeared into the Bewitching Bell. “Goodbye.” The floor beneath Stygian’s hooves opened, and he fell into the depths beneath. Stygian screamed all the way down. Dark liquid splashed up onto the floor.

"Was that entirely necessary, my emperor?" asked one of the guards.

"Completely. I will not allow Twilight Sparkle and friends to succeed once more." Grogar pressed another button on his throne. A video feed of Cain popped up.

"What do you need, old friend?" asked Cain.

"Send Metal Sonic. Capture Rainbow Dash. Feel free to do whatever else with her, I don't care."

Location: S.T.A.R. Labs, Central City, Earth-Prime, Spearpoint Timeline

Cain appeared inside the Time Vault, behind Eobard Thawne, who was viewing something through Gideon. Eobard closed what he was looking at before Cain had the time to see what it was.

"Well hello," Eobard greeted Cain, "Wasn't expecting you for another five minutes."

"Guess I'm a little early then. You know the thing about Sonic?"

"That's your job now."

"I have a different thing I need to do, and I was wondering if you could help me out. I capture Rainbow Dash, you get Sonic, and we're done."

"Send Metal Sonic. He'll do both."

"Okay? I guess I'll send Metal Sonic."

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

Cain returned back to the headquarters of the Eggman Empire, now the Cult of Cain. Walking down the halls, he passed a few cells marked with names. He placed his palm on one door without a name. Blue energy wrote the name "Rainbow Dash" on the door. He skipped past two more doors, and arrived at the one marked with "Doctor Eggman". He breathed in, and opened the door. A flash of white light and a light red static enveloped Cain.

Cain and Eggman stood side by side, watching the sun crash down on the Resistance.

"Beautiful, isn't it?" asked Cain.

"Such a perfect way for those pesky rodents to go," replied Eggman.

"Very."

"You know, I've learned something over the time that I've fought this war." Eggman turned to face Cain. "This world isn't real."

Cain pulled out a Neuralyzer, and wiped the doctor's memory.

Cain stood in front of Metal Sonic's sitting form. "This is it. We're at the end. Keeping an empire stable takes a long time. Tambelon must stand." He activated Metal Sonic, and the robotic hedgehog stood up. Cain held his hand up, and a portal opened in front of it. "She's fighting Sombra's shadow demon army right now. Either wait until Dash is defeated or all of the shadow demons are." Metal Sonic nodded, and hopped through the portal.

"Dear little Thorax. How the mighty has fallen." Chrysalis laughed. "My child, have you forgotten who rules who?"

"I'm not scared of you."

"You came home only to overthrow me. I was hoping for something a little... nicer from my son." Thorax charged. Chrysalis sidestepped, and Thorax crashed into the wall. Chrysalis morphed her leg into a glowing baseball bat, and knocked Thorax unconscious. A hole opened in the wall, revealing three changelings. Two were the normal black and blue, but the one in the middle had the unmistakable purple eyes and wings of Pharynx. "Make sure your traitorous brother is secure this time." Chrysalis flew through the opening, just as it closed.

Pharynx picked up Thorax's unconscious body. "What an idiot," Pharynx muttered to himself. Pharynx flew Thorax through the holes in the wall, into a containment cell, with an uncountable amount of tally marks on the wall. "Don't be stupid this time."

Location: Kaossandra's Castle, Skylands-1, Spearpoint Timeline

Strykore wandered back and forth in the inner room where he once was held captive. He stopped in front of Kaossandra's spell book. The dark warlock placed his hand on the page of the containment spell. The dark cloud that once held him appeared once again.

"Kaossandra. Tell me again how you feel about this new predicament."

"The Skylanders will stop you."

"And where are they? Most of them have been locked in the dungeons beneath my feet. All except for Spyro. He left just before the spear activated. When he returns, however, Malefor will be waiting. And so will he." The portal cloud closed. Strykore stepped out of the room, immediately greeted by Kaos.

"Behold, not-father!" exclaimed Kaos way too cheerfully. An image of a purple dragon and a bearded man in a blue robe projected from Kaos's head. "Another world, where both Spyro, and Eon, are searching for something. I don't know what it is right now, but, if we find whatever it is, we can rule the Skylands, together!"

"Good. Now have fun at the bottom of the ocean again." Strykore snapped his fingers.

"Wait-" started Kaos, but it was too late. Kaos disappeared in a red and black flash.

Strykore walked back into the room. He flipped open the book, searching for something. He stopped on a page with dragons. The words on the page glowed gold, and shadow rose from the book.

"Good luck."

Location: Metropolis, Fandom Fights Alternate Reality
Time: Before Superman vs Homelander

A blue and green portal opened in the middle of Metropolis. Magical Douchebag and Predator appeared in the middle of the street.

"Phew." Magical Douchebag stopped for a moment, before being pushed onto the sidewalk by Predator. A car raced right over where Magical Douchebag was standing a split second ago.

"You're welcome," growled Predator. Magical Douchebag tossed a dog treat to Predator, who gobbled it up like a ravenous wolf. The spines on Predator's back glowed blue for a moment. The two stepped into an empty alleyway.

"Portalo!" shouted Magical Douchebag, "Envisio Voidium Relaes!" A purple vortex portal to the Endless Void opened. Purple lightning crackled around the portal. A purple spine shot through the portal, then another, and another. The two spines retracted back into the portal, before a purple spinning sawblade burst through the portal. The sawblade emitted a flash of purple light, and the light cleared to reveal Void Creature, taking a quick look around.

"This isn't the real world," noted Void Creature. He turned back to Magical Douchebag and Predator. "Where am I?"

"Well, we're in NightFlame's other reality," explained Magical Douchebag, "The one where he wants to be able to have a bit of peace from all the crazy stuff that happened. I don't have enough power to bring you all the way to the real world."

"We'll stay here for a while, wreak havoc on NightFlame's world," added Predator.

"Let's start with... Homelander."

Author's Note

Huh. I guess another timeline was created when the Spear of Destiny was used?

Anyway the next chapter focuses more on the heroes, and then it ends right there.

Heroes Fall

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.
