//-------------------------------------------------------// My little Pony Friendship is Magic: Bell of the Multiverse -by DATONETWIxDASHFAN- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Ch2 Twilight Night //-------------------------------------------------------// Ch2 Twilight Night “WHAT’S GOING ON?” screamed the male voice as he stopped blinding Twilight with his light and ran over to check the damage of his car “YOU DESTROY MY BABY!” Twilight quickly jumped off of the hood of the car and could see that the front end been crush in, like something heavy crash into it. She looked up and could see the night sky but noticed no stars. “Where are the stars?” whispered Twilight as she scan the sky but she noticed the city buildings as she finally took noticed the area around her. She walked over to the railing and could see the street below and could see more of the same metal objects on the road “Is this Manehattan? No, it can’t be, there’s no ponies or other races...just these races...that I looked like…” Twilight started to think as she tried to understand everything. This world, the crystal and the blast, she must had went into billions of theories but she finally got it. “THE CRYSTAL! IT BLASTED US INTO ANOTHER WORLD!!!” Twilight yelled as she ran over to the young man that was still crying over his poor car “THIS IS HISTORY IN THE MAKING! MANY THOUGHT IT WAS AN MYTH BUT ITS TRUE!” “Oh great, a nut job! Let me go, I’m calling the cops!” ordered the man as he shut off his light and put it near his head, Twilight didn’t understand the weird small box but she quickly believed its an communication device. “This world seems to be more advanced than my world. I wonder how magic works here…” whispered Twilight as she touch her forehead. CRACK “What?” said Twilight as she heard a loud cracking noise. She looked around but didn’t see anything or anyone other than the man. CRASH SMASH She could hear it again but this time, she could see shards falling around her. Twilight looked up and could see a small crack in the night sky. The sky was cracking slowly, followed by familiar noise, ringing of a bell. Twilight chest started to hurt again, she grabbed it and felt off again. What was costing this, she wondered to herself. She couldn’t think straight, as the pain started to get worst. She needed to get away, she noticed a tunnel to her right and she ran towards it. “HEY! WHERE YOU GOING!?” yelled the man as he noticed her running away. The tunnel lead to another large wide open room and filled more of the same machines. She kept going down the same looking tunnels and she could see from the outside, that she was getting closer to the ground level but suddenly a bright light stopped in front of. It was another machine and stepping out was an old lady. “Miss you okay!? You being attacked by a man!?” panicky spoke the woman as she too took out the same small device “I’m calling for hel-wait, where are you going?” Twilight ran pass the old lady and finally made it to the ground level and step outside of the building she was in. The pain slowly went away now and she could finally think straight. “What was that? Same thing happened back in my world...has to be related to that crystal...huh?” Twilight stopped talking to herself and noticed few people staring at her and flashing lights at her with their device. One guy, dress in street wear, stepped forward and started blasting lights as he said “YO! ITS ANOTHER TWILIGHT PROMO! SHIT, THIS IS WILD!” “You know my name?” asked Twilight “Of course girl! Yo dog, can I have a selfie?” asked the man but before Twilight can say anything, few cop cars came up and quickly got out of the car. “Sigh…” said a heavy male police officer as he noticed Twilight “What ad stunt you got here today? You know it’s against law to be naked right?" “Naked?” whisper Twilight as she finally noticed everyone around her had outfits on, while she didn’t. She turned bright red as she covered herself up with her hands. “Okay Twilight, you’re not getting away this time and where’s your partner? Filming this crap again?” asked the cop as he looked around. “What are you talking about?” questioned Twilight as she stepped away from the cops as they got closer. Ding dong Twilight froze as she heard the bell. She looked around as the bell kept ringing. One of female officers looked around as her and everyone in the area could hear a bell ringing as well “A bell?” Suddenly, shards of light started to fall all around them. Twilight looked up and could see the crack from before but this time, she could see something staring back at her with two bright white eyes. She watched as a slight yellow tint arm punched through the crack and a figured quickly landed between her and the officers. The officers quickly grabbed their guns and pointed it at the humanoid yellow figure. It was a naked female with long dark red hair, as it stood up, Twilight noticed that female had a Y shaped horn on its forehead and stared at her anger. “OKAY WHAT’S GOING HERE!? WHERE THE FUC-” but before the fat cop could finish, the humanoid let out a bloody scream, forcing everyone in the area to cover their ears but some odd reason, Twilight wasn’t affected by it. Whatever this creature is, Twilight knew she had to get away from it, as her instinct was telling her to run for her life, so she did. The creature was about to follow her but stopped as it felt bullets entering its body. It turned to the cops and stepped towards them and smiled. The creature put its hand on one of the officers head and petted them like a dog. After doing that, the creature took after Twilight. “Yo! Everyone see that!?” said the street wear man, as he looked into his phone as he was streaming the event that took place “Shine Twilight cd promo is AWESOME! WAS THAT CGI!?” Twilight ran as far as she could, passing more people on street and finally hiding in an alleyway. There she finally could her breath and could collect her thoughts but first, she needed clothes to wear. Lucky for her, she could see clothes being dried on a clothing line. She grabbed a purple t shirt and ripped jeans. Finally having clothes to wear, she returned thinking about that creature. What was it? “That horn…” thought Twilight as she pictured the creature Y shape horn “Why do I feel like I seen it before?” Twilight walked down the alleyway and exited at the other side. Another street but she noticed something on a billboard. “What the!?” ding dong Twilight grabbed her chest and quickly turned around after hearing the bell again and standing in the middle of the alleyway was the creature. It gave Twilight a pissed off look as it slowly walk towards her. “What are you!?” screamed Twilight as she back away from the creature and into the busy walkway “What do you want!?” Everyone around them stopped and took out there phones as they noticed Twilight and the creature. The creature leaped over Twilight as it stopped her from running away into the road. It quickly grabbed her by the shirt and its Y shape horn started to glow white… BEEP BEEP The creature couldn’t had time to react as it was hit by a speeding sport car with purple stars. The creature flew a bit, before hitting the ground and seemed to be killed as it lay there. Twilight watched as the car backed up and opened its car door to her, a dark blue skin female human with blue and white short spiky hair, wearing raves clothes, reached out her hand to Twilight and spoke. “Get in girl!” Twilight wasn’t sure what to do but quickly noticed that the creature moved a bit, realizing it wasn’t dead. She quickly got in and the car sped away as the creature stood back up and watched as the car turned a corner and out of sight. The creature moved to jump but quickly grabbed its side. It was in pain. “shit…” spoke the creature as it sat back down on the street and started to disappear as the morning sun rays appeared over the buildings. “Girl, W.T.F!” yelled the rave girl as she quickly looked over to Twilight and back on the road “You should had call me about changing the stunt! Shit man, you always change shit at the last second...and this stunt was meant to be in two days! But nah, you pulled that crap tonight!” finish the girl as she tossed Twilight the phone. Twilight watched as the device played out the event that happened. “Is this magic!?” asked Twilight as she poked the phone screen. “Girl, are you freaking high again?” questioned the girl as she watched Twilight looking at the phone in amazement “Need to cut back on those weed brownies. Give me that!” Twilight let the girl take back her device and became quiet. Twilight started to remember what she saw before the creature caught her. She turned her head to the girl and spoke “You know me, correct?” “...yeah?” confusedly answered the girl “Are you he-I mean my friend?” continued Twilight The girl looked upset and nodded “Yeah, we are...you okay?” Twilight ignored her question and continued on as she put her hand on her chin “What do I do?” “...We make popping dance music.” answered the girl. “We?” replied back Twilight in confusing “Yeah, we’re the awesome duo, Shine Twilight. The underground cyberpunk DJ!” said the girl, known as Shine, pressed a button on her phone and the car started blasting dub-step “This album was going live in two days but with ya stunt, we release it early. Crashed the site again b.t.w!” Twilight said nothing as she was deep in thought. Shine looked on in worry, as she turned another corner and stopped in front of an apartment building that seen better days. Twilight turned to it and remembered seeing this place from the flashes back then. “Shine is this my home!?” asked Twilight as she press her face up on the car window. Shine answered her and got out of the car with her. Twilight followed Shine into the building and went up stairs. They finally stopped at an apartment door and Shine took out her keys and unlocked it. Twilight dash in and quickly looked around, leaving Shine puzzled as she locked the door and went into the kitchen and started to make breakfast. Twilight searched around the huge studio apartment and disappearing into the bathroom. “Yo girl, want pancakes before we can finally talk about the promo stunt you did? That chick gonna be okay, right? You always hire stunt actors.” said Shine as took out frozen pancakes and put them in the toaster. The studio started to smell like burn pancakes and the bedroom door opened, walking out was Twilight and wearing a black oversize t shirt. “Sue, make me three will ya?” asked Twilight as she sleepily walked over to the table and laid her head down to sleep again. Sue turned to her and smacked her on the head. “Yo Twilah, why did you changed? And wake up, we need to talk about the stunt.” Twilah rose her head in confusing “What stunt? You mean the ad stunt in two days?” “Girl, stop playing, the freaking stunt you did a few hours ago!” said Sue as she pulled Twilah cheek “Kick rocks woe, I have no idea what are you talking about!” replied Twilah as she slapped Sue hand away. Sue was about to say something until she noticed Twilight standing in the bathroom doorway, all shock. Sue looked at Twilah and back to Twilight and back again. “I’m tripping or something?” Twilah looked back and her eyes shot opened in surprise, as she could see a mirror image of herself just standing there. Twilight walked over and spoke as she touch Twilah forehead “The billboard had me...I mean you, with a metal horn! Where is it!?” cried out Twilight as she started to shed tears before collapsing on to Twilah and passing out. Twilah slowly turned to a confused Sue. “I have a twin sister!?” end of ch2 //-------------------------------------------------------// ch3: The Real Danger Here //-------------------------------------------------------// ch3: The Real Danger Here Nothingness. Just nothing as far as the eyes can see, which Twilight found herself in and her surprise, back in her normal form. “Where am I?” No one answered, as she stood there in the darkness. She only could sigh and think but suddenly, a crack formed in front of her. With a quick action of her horn, Twilight summoned her magical shield and prepare herself for the creature to appeared again...but this time, nothing happened. No creature or anything exited the crack. She stepped forward and touch it, only to be blasted with a memory… Twilight found herself standing in front of a large rich looking house. She could see flashing blue and red lights as it up the house, soon voices could be heard. “Hope they catch that monster!” “Poor kid…” “She be fine, they have shit ton of money thanks to her parents.” Soon Twilight could hear crying, it was fade but it grew louder as a figure appear before. A young girl but Twilight couldn’t make out the features. “It’s gonna be okay…” said the girl as she was holding someone in her arms “...I promise my lil gem.” cracking Twilight stepped back as everything started to crack and fall apart. “Your big sister is here…” With the last shard hitting the ground, everything blasted away as the creature from before, came rushing towards Twilight. “NOOOOOO!” screamed Twilight as she rose from the couch and sweating up a storm. She looked around and could see her other self sitting in a chair across from her, who was looking at the small device but suddenly getting spook by Twilight outburst. “Yo mini me, you alright?” asked Twilah as she put the device in her pocket and came over “You look like if you seen a ghost.” Sue came out of Twilah room and hurried over but Twilight push Twilah off and ready for a fight between the two. “Whoa! Calm down girl, we’re not going to hurt you! Relax, breath in and out.” calmly said Sue as she slowly step towards Twilight and carefully put her hands on her shoulders as Twilight did what Sue asked and finally, calm down “Good good, now sit down. You want something to drink? Food?” “...I’ll have haysandwich, if that’s okay?” replied Twilight as she sat back on the couch and holding her head in her hands. “Haysandwich???” questioned Sue as she turned to Twilah for answers. “Must be a veggie sandwich? No meat I guess?” Sue left to the kitchen, leaving both purple girls alone. Twilah sat back in the chair and took out her phone. “I know what you been throu-” “YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT “I” BEEN THROUGH!” yelled Twilight as she rose her head back up “True dat girl, but I can guess from the videos from last night.” replied Twilah as she showed Twilight the events that happen with the humanoid creature “This thing isn’t cgi or whatever the comments are saying, I didn’t planned this and Sue car has a dent on it, so it’s real thing.” Twilight watched as Twilah got up and walking back and forth as she tapped her head with two fingers. “That creature being real and another version of “me”...it’s been believed that different universe can exist like a world where a coin toss can-” “Can be tails and other world can be heads or can different outcome than the other two options.” quickly said Twilight as she smiled so big in happiness “I thought of that as well, I wasn’t sure at first but when I saw that billboard, I saw me, errr I mean you on it, that’s when I knew it was correct!” Twilah smiled back and quickly sat back down in her chair “Okay, how did you get here Twilah 2?” “Name is Twilight Sparkle by the way. Your name is Twilah Sparkle?” replied Twilight as she too sat back down but noticed her other self upset but Sue came over with a sandwich. “O.M.G, her name is your stage name! Also, told ya my stage name should had been Sparkle, it sounds better...also my mind is blown by this shit!” “1, kick rocks, Shine is better than sparkle and 2, my name is Twilah Snynder.” replied Twilah as she showed Twilight a promo video of her and Sue but wearing cyberpunk unicorn gear “Better known as Shine Twilight, the best duo out there in underground music!” “Who’s also a egghead on the side…” whispered Sue to Twilight, who giggled as Twilah threw her phone at her friend. “Anyway, break it down, how you got here!?” questioned Twilah Twilight went on to explain how she got here and what her world is like. This went on for a few hours, until Twilah stood up. “A pony universe WITH MAGIC!?” “I’m guessing magic doesn’t exist here, huh?” “Nope, all fake shit, like smoke and mirrors kind of shit.” speak Sue as she showed Twilight a video on debunking magic tricks. “You said that bell shape crystal sent you here. What about your friends? They must had been caught in the blast too, right?” asked Twilah but noticed her other self becoming sad “...ah, right, you have no idea if they got sent here…” Sue sighed and moved her hand to signal Twilah to change the subject. Twilah cough and started to tap her head again. “Right, you was sent here by a crystal, there “could” be a chance that crystal is in this world as well or maybe a shard of it landed in our world along with you.” “If we find it, then I can go home again but where do we start?” questioned Twilight Twilah ran to her room and came out with a flat device and opened it to her “We look online! We can just search for something matching your crystal and go there!” “What’s a “google”?” asked Twilight as she poked the screen “Is it a place?” Twilah placed a hand on Twilight shoulder “Oh, you gonna love what I’m going to explain to you!” Half hour later, Twilight was glued to the screen as she typed away on the screen. Sue and Twilah were watching from their room as Twilah finally got dress. “So Twilah, what about that creature? So should we be worried that we're near her?” “Not right now, no. What she explained back there, her chest will start to hurt and a weird feeling coming over her. Two times that happened, that creature appeared. She’s fine right now and plus, you ran over that bitch, so I’m guessing it’s licking its wound.” finish Twilah as she buckle her black jeans and putting on her hat “Tho, we should move her to a safer place and there’s only one place thats safe in the city.” “You think she’ll help us? I mean, you f her over on that show two years ago.” replied Sue as she toss Twilah her bag “Plus, you took a shit in her car before leaving…” “Dip shit had it coming! She tried to break us up! WE! THE BEST DUO EVER! Your my world Sue!” smiled Twilah as she placed her hand on Sue cheek. “...really?” blushed Sue “For real, your my home girl! My bestie! My only friend!” Sue push Twilah hand away and quickly walked out of the room and whispering something about sharing a bed. Twilah dash after her in confusing. After leaving the apartment and driving for half hour, Twilight and company found themselves standing in front of a large club building and staying guard was two big men with bouncer outfits. “Holy shit, the boss not gonna be happy to see you again, wuts up, how you been girls?” asked one of the men as he fist bump Sue and Twilah but stopped at Twilight “Got a stunt double?” “Nah dog, she’s my twin sister. Anyway, call ya cunt of a boss, I have a deal with her!” The men looked at each other before one turned around and took out his phone. Twilight pulled Sue away and asked what’s going. “We need to keep you safe girl and this is the most protected place in the city…unless you f them over like Twilah did…” Before Twilight could ask what she meant, everyone could hear a loud scream over the man’s phone and waved at them to quickly go up stairs. The girls entered the lobby and entered the elevator. As it went up, Twilight could see an empty rave hall with staff cleaning it. After few minutes, the gang reach the top floor and exited to meet rows of men and women in black suits. They walked pass them and stopped at a large door. They slowly opened to reveal an office at the far end. “Well well well, isn’t Twilight and Shine?” said a bitter young female voice “Wait...that voice…” thought Twilight The office chair swung around to reveal a dark blue skin woman with dark blue hair, wearing a red sexy dress. “Trixie!” yelled Twilight “THAT’S “THE POWERFUL AND GREAT TRIXIE” YOU...wait huh?” stopped Trixie as she noticed Twilight “Why are there two of you?” “Long story but here’s quick version, she’s my twin sister.” said Twilah as she sat down in the chair “Sister? Thought you didn’t had a family?” questioned Trixie as she stood up and walked over to Twilight and checked her out “Damn...she looks just like you, like a mirror copy.” Twilight stepped back as Trixie got too close to her face but lucky for her, Sue stepped between them and pushed her away. “Trixie enough, we need to talk about why we’re high.” Twilah said as she can see pure hatred in Trixie eyes as she saw Sue. “Yes...WHY are you here anyway? Going to pay me back for the car cleaning service or…” Trixie stopped as she sat down and glared at Sue again “Finally dropping this rock and going solo like I wanted you too?” “Both answers is no, I came here for protection…” calmly spoke Twilah as she raised her hand in front of Sue, in order to stop her from doing something dumb “Sue, please.” Trixie sat back in her chair grin as she heard her “You need protection? From who? Never paint you as trouble maker in the underground of music. Did you pissed off some gang rapper?” “No, it’s not for me. It’s for my sis here.” “Her? She doesn’t look the type to start something.” thought Trixie as she gave another look at Twilight Trixie stood up and turned to her window and looked out as she thought of it over before speaking again “Since I love you so much Twilah, I’ll give you deal. Do your latest album release party here, TONIGHT and platform it in the rave hall. Then I’ll keep her safe…” Twilah started to sweat as she turned to Sue, who was worrying too. “Twilah, if you agree to that, the music label that you just signed with, will drop your ass!” Twilah kept quit for a second before standing up and placing her hand out for a handshake. Trixie turned and was about to shake back before Twilight spoke up. “Whoa! Hold on, you shouldn’t toss away your contract for me!” “Twilight, don’t worry!” smiled Twilah as she shook Trixie hand “What’s important right now is YOU!” After meeting went then, Trixie ordered her top bodyguards to lead the girls to their rooms before Sue went back down stairs to park their car in the building underground parking lot. Leaving Twilight and Twilah alone. “Why are you going this far? We just met last night. Even then-” “Even then, the guards here have zero chance against that creature, I know, I seen the video but they will buy us time to escape and the reason I’m doing this...well, I can’t leave another version of myself to die. Anyway, found anything?” asked Twilah as she started to suit up in her draftpunk suit. “No, I been searching this “google” and can’t find any info on a bell shaped crystal. Just different crystals I seen before.” replied Twilight as she opened the laptop. “Which is good, this means our world have the same crystals, which also means that crystals has to be in my world. Keep looking.” “Right. Also, I been thinking about that creature from before.” stood up Twilight as she turned to Twilah “I’m been wondering, where did it came from? From the crystal? Why is it after me?” “My theory? I think your right, must had came from the crystal. Maybe it blames you? Or maybe the crystal was it’s jail cell and trying to cut loose ends.” explained Twilah as she put her unicorn helmet on “Nevertheless, I won’t allow it to hurt you. I promise!” Twilight giggled as Twilah masked screen created a thumb up emote and thank her. Both went back to doing their own thing before Twilah stopped and turned to Twilight again. “By the way, back there, you knew Trixie name...i already know the answer but I have to ask…” “Yup, I have a Trixie too. Annoying too but we came around with each other and became friends.” smiled Twilight. “Wow...a good Trixie…” thought Twilah as she took off her mask. “Hey, since we’re asking questions, can I ask something?” asked Twilight “Go ahead but I think I already know. Its about my family right?” Twilight nodded and Twilah sighed and sat next to Twilight on the bed. “I do...well, had a family. Mom, dad and an older brother. We were a happy family and they saw great things in me, as Sue puts it, I’m an egghead...wanted me to study and go to the best schools but…” Twilight could see that Twilah was hurting as she tried to find the courage to bring out the words. “...i didn’t want to study. Music was my calling! They didn’t like that and believed I was a failure in life and dumped my purple ass at an orphanage. I told them I’ll study again but they still left me...I stopped doing music and just studied in hopes they’ll come back but they never did…” finish Twilah “I’m sorry…” whispered Twilight as she hugged her twin “Don’t worry about it, if they never did that, I won’t had met my homie, Sue! She taught me to love music again. In her words “Do what you love, fuck the haters!”. Since we left that place when we turned ten, we been doing music and made a name of our self!” grin Twilah as she hugged Twilight back “You told us about your family. You have a loving family and friends. You need to get back, so don’t give up!” Twilight nodded and let her go as Sue returned. “oops, did I ruin a moment just now?” “Nah you bitch, anyway, how’s the party going?” “The news is out and already seen people lining up at the front doors. Trixie said we’re going live in 3 hours, so heads up on your phone, the label gonna be piss.” explained Sue as she got into her cyberpunk outfit “Let’s go, the release party is starting!” Twilight waved goodbye to the girls and returned searching on the laptop for any clues. Few hours pass and Twilight could hear music going off and people screaming in joy. She got up and looked outside and could the endless lines with flashing lights. She stood there as she thought to herself. Remembering the flashing lights. “What was that dream back then? Was it another memory of another me?” thought Twilight as she placed her forehead on the glass. Ding-dong Twilight eyes shot wide as she heard the bell again and clutch her chest as the pain returned. She looked everywhere but didn’t see anything or anyone...until she looked out the window again. Looking at her from across a rooftop, was the humanoid creature again. Twilight quickly yelled out for help but she wasn’t fast enough as the creature, in a flash, broke through the window and blasting Twilight to the ground. Twilight watched in fear as the creature slowly walked to her but lucky for her, the guards from outside came inside with gun drawn. “Hold it! Step away from the girl or...what the hell is that!?” asked the short guard as he saw the creature “No clue David but the girl is in danger!” answered back the tallest guard, as he touch his ear piece and spoke once more “Code red at the guest floor 89. I repeat, code red, guest floor 89.” The shortest guard ordered again for the creature to back away from Twilight and fired a warning shot but the creature didn’t stop. Both men opened fired at it but shock to see the bullets did nothing but this gave Twilight to get up and run pass the guards and into the hall. She could hear more gunfire but quickly followed by both men screaming. Twilight froze with her fear as she believed two men died for her. “Miss! This way!” yelled a female guard as she arrived with backup of 20 other guards “Get in the elevator!” as she kept the door opened for Twilight. Twilight rush pass the charging guards as they head to the room, while she entered the elevator with the same lady guard and two other guards with assault weapons. As the door closed, they all witness the creature charging through the group of guards and tossing them away like dolls as it searched for its target. “What the hell was that!?” screamed a shinny guard “No fucking clue but get ready when the doors open...huh?” said the female guard as the elevator started to shake “Did it land on us!? Shit, open fire!” ordered the woman as her and the men opened fire above them. Twilight lowered herself to the ground and covered her ears. Few seconds later the gunfire stopped. “Did we get it?” asked the older guard As he finished saying that, the creature scatter the window of the elevator and grabbed Twilight by the hair and pulled her out. The guards were about to fire the lady guard stopped them, as they might hit the target as the creature jumped off and landed on the ceiling glass of the rave hall. “Shit! Code Sword! I repeat, Sword! Get the boss!” yelled the female guard into her ear piece as she watched as the creature started to choke Twilight. Twilight could feel the creature hands around her throat, they were warm...so warm. She tried to kick the creature off but nothing. She thought she was going to die here. Not able to get back home, seeing her family or friends again. Her vision started to turn black as the flashes of her life went by. “Twilight!” spoke a young dragon voice Twilight could hear Spike and not just him, but her friends too “COME ON EGGHEAD! DON’T GIVE UP!” yelled Rainbow “DON’T GIVE UP DARLING!” screamed Rarity “SHOW THIS ROTTEN HOLE A THING OR TWO!” barked AJ “PLEASE! GET UP TWILIGHT!” cried Fluttershy “YOU CAN TAKE THAT BIG MEANIE!” cheered Pinkie Twilight could feel something within, as more voiced could be heard. Her family, her other friends and the princess. All telling her to fight back. She could feel it, something inside her chest. It wasn’t pain but something else! It was warm and familiar. The creature stopped as it noticed the glow that Twilight had around her body. The creature lit her horn up but it was too late, as a strong blast of purple energy shot out and destroyed the ceiling glass, sending both down to the rave hall. People ran away from the falling glass as everyone, including Twilah and Sue, watched as the creature fell onto the dance floor and Twilight, with purple energy wings, horn and regrown tail, hovered to the ground and glared at the creature as it stood back up. “THIS ENDS NOW!” echoed Twilight as she blasted the creature with magical energy but the creature took it head on and dash towards her. Twilight flew up to dodge the charging creature and grabbed it with her magic and slammed it into the ground a few times. “GIVE UP NOW! I DON’T WANT TO HURT YOU!” ordered Twilight as she raised the creature to her eye level “I WON’T ALLOW YOU TO HURT ANYONE ELSE!” The creature laughed as it glared into Twilight eyes “I’m not hurting anyone here...you are! You invader!” spoke the creature as it pointed at the people around them. Twilight could see everyone in the hall on the floor and trouble breathing. She quickly noticed that purple energy being pulled out of them and into her body. “Twi..light…” weakly cried out Twilah as she was limping her way with Sue, to them but both of them fell to the floor as more energy being stuck out of them. “What!? What’s going on! Why is my magic is doing this!?” cried Twilight as she let the creature go “Magic doesn’t exist in this world but life force does. You are a parasite! I must destroy you!” barked the creature as it got free from Twilight grasps and put it’s arm out to protect the people behind it. Twilight looked at the creature Y shaped horn and it suddenly hit her as a ton of bricks. “Oh god...your like an antibody aren’t you? This universe sees me as a threat, doesn’t it?” spoke Twilight as she release her magic and returned to normal “If I say stay here much longer, I’ll be killing billions of lives…” Twilight lowered her head and embrace death as the creature stepped up to her and spoke again as it rose its arm up “Mission is done.” Everyone watched as the creature stabbed Twilight in the chest with its hand. “TWILAH!” cried out Sue as she lay there in shock in what she just saw Twilah got up and dashed over and between the creature and Twilight and took the killing blow. The creature pulled out its arm and was in shock in what happened. Twilight watched as Twilah fell into the ground and bleeding out. “Why!?” all Twilight could say as she started to tear up as Twilah slowly turned to her “You got...to get hom…” spoke Twilah as her eyes went dim and her body went lifeless. The room was quiet but slowly started to get loud as people started to scream, running out of the hall and throwing stuff at the creature, as it stood there, looking both purple girls. “YOU BASTARD!” bloody screamed Sue as she pulled out a pocket knife and stabbed the creature on the same side that she hit with her car “I’LL FUCKING KILL YOU!” The creature fell backwards and holding on to it’s side as it watched as Sue quickly ran over to the dead Twilah. “God no! Please don’t do this you asshole! Please!” cried Sue as she picked her dead friend off the floor and into her arms “You can’t die here damn it! You can’t! Didn’t you say you wanted to show your family that they were wrong!? Please baby girl…” Twilight could see tears falling down Sue cheeks as she held Twilah harder. She was to blame for this…no one else... end of ch3 //-------------------------------------------------------// ch4 Home, friends and mother //-------------------------------------------------------// ch4 Home, friends and mother Crying, crying was the only thing that Twilight could hear in this very moment. The tears of someone crying over her...her other self. She could see Sue holding Twilah so tight, as the blood was oozing over the floor. She didn’t had to die, it should had been her. “...I'm sorry Sue…” whispered Twilight as she closed her eyes, as she couldn’t look anymore. Sue didn’t replied, she ignored Twilight and slowly brush Twilah bangs away from her face and spoke to her “You promised, you promised that when we hit it big, that you’ll finally face your family again...showed those ass hats that you are worth something…” Sue gently touch Twilah cheek and teary smiled “...worth to someone...like to me. Even for your genius of all music and your egghead side, you are the most stupidest person ever.” softy laughed Sue “Never noticed...never picked up the hints, like christ, we sleep in the same bed! Never picked up that I love ya, you idiot…” Weep Sue as she hugged Twilah again “Please don’t leave me…” “Sue…” thought Twilight as her heart just broke after seeing that. Twilight suddenly could see flashing all around them and crying. It seemed few people didn’t run and stayed and started to recorded this moment. To Twilight, it didn’t feel right, this loving moment shouldn’t had ended up like this. She could even see Trixie, who just got into the floor, mixed with sadness and anger. “I’m right here…” Everyone gasp and quickly became quite as Twilah hugged Sue back. Even Sue was shock at first but quickly recovered and pulled her back to see Twilah weakly smiling. “...Twilah?” whispered Sue as she started to cry again “How?” “I’m guessing it’s because of her.” answered Twilah as she pointed at the humanoid creature as her horn was glowing bright red and sending energy to Twilah stabbed wound, which had sealed up completely. Twilight stood up from the floor and spoke as she walked over to the humanoid being “In the video, you petted that cop and smiled to everyone…” Twilight looked where Trixie was and could see the two men that guarded her room, were still alive and not even hurt “You didn’t even hurt the guards here and even protected the people here. You truly are an antibody aren’t you?” “Killed. Wasn’t a threat.” said the creature as she stopped her horn from glowing “You. Threat!” Twilight stopped in front of the creature and lowered her self to it’s eye level and replied “My magic...I know it’s dangerous now and I won’t ever use it again but listen to me, I’m trying to get home and I don’t want to be here even more, after seeing what my magic did. Please, help me! I can see there’s kindness and warmth behind that cold face of yours.” The creature watched as Twilight grabbed it’s hand and placed it on her chest. “Please.” “...home…?” whispered the creature as she stared at Twilight with confusing “Invader...not threat? But new mother…” She looked up into the night sky and could see cracks forming “Pain...crying…” “Mother?” asked Twilight in confusing “Who’s your mother?” “Confused...home…report...” whispered the creature as she slowly disappeared into nothingness. “WAIT! DON’T GO!” yelled Twilight as she tried to reach out but it was fruitless as the creature was gone. The room was quite for a few minutes, until the remaining people started among themselves and questioned what they just saw. “Everyone!” said Trixie through a microphone and her voice blasting through the speakers “Did you enjoy Shine Twilight follow up ad show! This is a preview of the their next music video intro! Right you two?” asked Trixie as she put the mic to the girls. Both girls got up and replied it was their next video but froze as Trixie as whispered to them “After this mess, you two need to explain what the hell is going on.” Sue and Twilah watched as Trixie removed the mic from their faces and walked to the cheering crowed and asked everyone to head out. “...I don’t think I can ever top this shit, I think I reach my peak with ad stunts here.” thought Twilah as she scratched her head “...huh?” Twilah turned to Sue and noticed her being bright red. “...yo girl, did you...heard that part?” asked Sue as she refused to look at Twilah “Which part? You pouring your love out for me or calling me an idiot?” teased Twilah as she watched as Sue covered her face and muffle screamed into her hands “Love you too.” “Fucking kick rocks!” joke Sue as she faced Twilah with a smile. “Would love to but right now…” sadly replied Twilah as her and Sue looked over to Twilight, as she standing and looking into the night sky “A friend needs help…” 4 weeks later The elevator doors opened as Sue stepped out and carrying boxes of donuts. She walked by, she toss a few donuts to the bodyguards that was protecting the hallway and the room at the end. Before she entered the room, she gave a bear claw to the female guard and smiled as she could hear fighting inside. “They’re still at it huh?” asked Sue as she closed the box and sighed “Yup, the boss been visiting your friend in there after speaking to her that day. Heck, she even started buying magic tricks stuff. What did your friend told her anyway?” questioned the guard “Looooooooong story and trust me, you won’t believe it.” replied Sue as she entered the room and could see what’s going. Trixie, wearing a red cape and wizard cap, is in a tug of war with Twilah, as they are pulling Twilight arms, who’s dead inside, “Cunt, leave her alone already!” yelled Twilah “NEVER! I MUST LEARN MORE OF MY PONY VERSION!” screamed back Trixie as pulled back harder. “Help me…” softly cried Twilight as she noticed Sue Sue sighed again and dropped the boxes on the table filled with books and laptops. She remembered what the books were, different books on crystals, books on magic and other things she couldn’t remember. “You two!” screamed Sue as she pulled both girls ears “STOP ALREADY!” Both girls yelled in pain as they were pulled away from Twilight, who finally had peace at long last. After the break up, Sue asked her if she found anything at all. “Nothing yet…” sadly replied Twilight as she took a few donuts from the box “Even with Trixie help from the black market, we can’t find any crystals like the one from my world.” Trixie took a bear claw out of the box and sat in the table as turned on the large screen TV “Rainbow crystal that’s shape like a bell, has been reported in the pass tho.” explained Trixie as she played a video report of cavemen painting and on the walls was a bell shape object. “The two problems, other than not finding it, is this our world crystal or Twilight's?” questioned Twilah as she stared at the screen “We have no idea if Twilight was sent here through time or normal space jump. Like, if her friends was sent in our world as well, will they even be sent in the same time period as Twilight or not? Also doesn't help we have no idea how to active the crystal in the first place, even if we find it, and we don’t want a repeat to happen in our world like what happened in her world.” “Speak for your self! I want to see Twilight world! Magic is real in her world!” excitedly said Trixie Everyone sighed and just ignored her as Twilight pulled up Twilah website page. “Speaking of my friends, Twilah, did you set up everything?” “Yup, it’s all set up and also been posted to Twitter and other social media sites.” replied Twilah as she watch Twilight opened the page with the questionnaire “With videos of you going all alicorn, your friends, if they are here in this time period or even in this world, will be looking for you. With the questionnaire you created, only they can answer it right and get the phone number to call that phone.” explained Twilah as Twilight took out her own phone “But I gonna ask, what are the 6 elements that create friendship?” Before Twilight could tell her, her phone started to ring. Everyone quickly gather around Twilight as she as answered it. She asked who it is and listen to the person on the other side. Twilight started to cry as she smiled. “Rainbow Dash!” The tunnel was dark and bit cold but she didn’t mind. She loved walking in it but today, she was hurrying to reach the exit. She needed to see her mother and report in what happen. Stepping outside of the runnel and finally seeing the warm sun again, was the humanoid creature as she could see a large house in the distance and surrounded with trees. She hurry along but still taking it easy as her wound was still bleeding. She reach the door and opened it. Inside was the most rich looking lobby of the house. She stopped and looked at her wound and back to the room. She didn’t want to ruin the clean floor, so she called out for her mother. Within seconds, a beautiful dressed pure white woman with purple hair, hurry into the room and ran to the creature. “Darling!? Are you okay!?” asked the lady as she help the creature inside, even getting blood on her dress “Come inside! We’ll get that heal right up!” “Mother...dress…” whispered the creature as she tried to get off but was quickly stopped as the lady held her tighter. “It doesn’t matter. What matters is that you are hurt! Did she do that to you!?” demanded the lady as they entered the living room and place the creature on the couch. “No…” The woman placed her hand on the wound and started to glow purple. The creature could feel the warmth and closed her eyes. “Not threat. She wants to go home…” whispered the creature as she fell asleep The woman sighed as she finished healing the creature and stood up. Behind her, was another female creature but much taller and has wings. “Go after threat?” she asked “No, I can sense her, her magic isn’t fully awaken. That purple alicorn isn’t a threat right now.” she explained as she turned to the window and could sense something as the blue sky started to break and crack apart as a colorful rainbow wave echo across the sky. “The blue one is, go after her and kill her!” The creature nodded and exited the room, leaving the lady and the other creature alone. The lady used her magic and gave the creature a maid outfit. “Oh darling, you are the most kindness one of your sisters…oh right!” said the woman as she quickly returned to the room where came from. She opened the door and sitting at the small tea table, was her only treasure. The thing that made her smile with joy. “Sis what happened?” asked the little girl with light and purple curly hair, who was wearing a pink dress “Is everything okay?” The big sister smiled “Everything is okay, my dear sweetie.” end of ch4 Author's Note I want to say thank you for the follows and the few likes. thought for sure it be nothing but down votes. Each 4 chapters will follow each character. Next is Dash(half done with it and proud of it so far) also each alt character version is different as we seen with Twilah(who grew up on the streets with Sue, so she's more gangster like in her speaking but has Twilight smarts) //-------------------------------------------------------// ch5 Blue Skies //-------------------------------------------------------// ch5 Blue Skies Darkness, there was only darkness and coldness. Soon, a white light blasted through the darkness. The darkness faded away and was replaced with a blue sky. Falling from the sky was a blue comet with bit of rainbow in it. The falling object quickly decrease it’s fall speed as it headed into the forest and crashed through tree branches and finally crashing into the ground. “...my head…” said Dash as she got up from the hole she created “What?” Dash quickly noticed her front hooves were replace with hands, soon she noticed her own body was changed as well and naked “My hind leg wasn’t that thick, right?” Questioned Dash as she stared at her thighs and soon noticed her wings and tail were gone “MY WINGS!” After a quick freak out, Dash finally calm down and looked around, she doesn’t recognize the area at all, but to her luck, she could see a large cabin house in the distance. “Maybe some pony can help me and find the others...ouch!” painfully said Dash as she grabbed her head as she felt something warm oozing out of it. She looked at her hand and could see tiny amount of blood “Maybe a first aid kit as well.” It didn’t took for Dash to reach the large cabin house but she quickly froze as she saw a red metal object. She slowly walked up it and slowly touch it. It was warm than ice cold like she thought it would feel. “What is this thing?” questioned Dash “Huh?” said a male voice from behind the metal object “Dash? Wasn’t you coming home for another day?” “Yeah, it’s me? Who’s talking?” “Who’s talking?” said the male voice in confusing. Dash watch as a same age light yellow tan male, with black short hair, green eyes and wearing a brown hoodie and black jeans, walked out from behind the object and holding bags of food. The guy dropped the bag and blush red. “Blue sky, why are you naked!?” asked the blushing male as he picked up the bags “Thank heavens our neighbors lives miles from us, now go back inside and put on something. Did you just woke up?” “Pal, hold up! Why are you acting like you know me or something?” questioned Dash “Come on, stop joking around. You know I hate when you pull pranks like this. Here.” explained the guy as he signal Dash to come over and hand her a bag with junk food “Got the limited time chips like you asked.” said the man as he lean forward to Dash face and waited for something “Well?” “Well what dude?” asked Dash as she step backwards. “My kiss…?” Dash laughed and walked away to the house “In your dreams buddy but thanks for the ch-whoa!” bark! Dash stopped as a black and white husky came running out of the porch and jumping on her. “Tifa happy to see you again, she missed you too. Leave mamma alone, she’s in her prankster mood today.” laughed the guy as the dog ran around circles Dash as she entered the unopened door. “Okay, this is getting weird…” thought Dash as she sat the bag on the floor and could see the inside of the cabin looked rich but same time, also didn’t look like it with old looking stuff around like the dinner table was worn out and missing a foot and was standing only because of a few books holding it up. She looked around some more before feeling dizzy and her head was hurting again. She touch her head and this time on her hand, was more blood. She couldn’t stand up any more and leaned on the wall and could hear the dog barking and crying. “What’s going on? Did you do spook Tifa agai-Dash!” Yelled the man as he saw blood covering Dash face. Dash tried to say something but everything went dark. It was dark until Dash heard voices of a young girl. “Welcome to our home, darling.” said the girl as Dash could hardly make out the scene as the world was slowly filling in. Dash could see a young purple haired girl as she welcome a maid. “Thank you my lady.” replied the maid as she bow to the girl “This is my first day, so please forgive for any errors in my cleaning.” “Nonsense darling, you been doing a great job, which is why we wanted to meet with you.” smiled the girl. “We?” questioned the maid as she saw just the girl in front of her. “Ah sorry, about that, she just spy. Come out. It’s okay.” happily said girl as she turned to Dash and reach out for her. Dash rose her hand and took it but something was wrong. It felt like she was grabbing air and nothing else...until she felt someone grabbing it. “Don’t worry blue sky, I’m here.” whispered a man voice. “What?” said Dash as she opened her eyes and could find her self in a hospital room and holding her hand was the guy from before. “Hey, you okay Dashie? Doc said you took a pretty bad fall. Wha-” but before he could finish, Dash swatted his hands away and rose up from the bed and pissed off. “Okay guy, I don’t know you and only my close friends call me Dashie! Who the hell are you?” yelled Dash in anger. “What? It’s me blue sky, your husband, Jimmy. You really joking at a time like this?” asked Jim as he grabbed Dash shoulder but only for Dash to push him away and making him fall on the ground. “SCREW OFF! STOP TOUCHING ME YOU CREEP!” madly screamed Dash as she got the blanket off and got up from the bed but quickly grabbed her head as the pain came back. “Dash?” whispered Jim in sadness as nurse came in after hearing the fighting and tried to calm her down and asked for him to leave. Few hours passed, as Jim finally got done talking with the doctor, as both men stared Dash from the door's window. The old looking doctor sadly turned back to Jim. “As I said, after hitting her head, she not only lost her memory but also believes she was a pony with wings and grew up in some horse sounding place.” explained the doc as he check his notepad. “Will she be like this forever?” asked Jim as he looked more worry. “Maybe? Never seen a head injury like this before. Memory lost is common but making up a different life? That’s new to me. Try taking her to places she knows and ease her in back home. Maybe she will remember quicker that way. Got anyone to help you?” Nodded Jim as he took out his phone and looked at the message that said “I’m here jimmy boi”. “Good, if her headache gets worst or she has another episode, bring her back right away, okay?” “Right.” The doctor walked off, leaving Jim alone. He couldn’t believe what was going. His loving wife was acting like this. He walked away from the door and sat in the chair that was near him. “Jimmy boi!” called out a strong sounded female voice. Jim turned and could see a white skin woman with dark white hair, which was tied up in a ponytail, wearing a coach uniform, came up to him and gave him a fist bump. “Gilda, you came!” “Of course I came man, after reading those texts, I came over as fast as I could, the softball training for the kids is being taken over by my assistant coach right now. How’s Dashie doing?” questioned Gilda as she peek inside of the room and seeing Dash messing with the bed remote and lowering and rising the bed “She looks normal.” “She doesn’t remember me or anything. She keeps going off about ponies...the doc said if we make her remember stuff, she might recover. It’s why I called you here. Was gonna text Flutter as well but her phone is not in service for some reason.” explained Jim as he check his phone and see the failed texts. “You wanna see if she remembers me? Gotch ya old buddy!” grinned Gilda as she opened the door and rush in, while Jim tried to stop her. “YO LOSER!” said Gilda loudly as she stood in front of Dash “Great, who are you?” said Dash in a dead pan voice “Damn, you really don’t remember your best bud? It’s me! Gilda!” smiled Gilda as she did a fancy flex pose. Dash stopped playing with the bed and sighed as she spoke “You are not Gilda, Gilda is a griffin. Not whatever you are!” Jim and Gilda looked at each other in confusing. Gilda did a tiny laugh as she walked over to Dash and sat in the chair. “Dumb dumb, you do remember...somewhat in that broken head of yours. My last name is Griffin. We’re best buds! Here, remember the time you ran in that track race and won it? You remember me and Jim cheering you on? You broke that record so fast, people said you beat it in ten seconds flat. Look here!” explained Gilda as she showed Dash some photos on her phone. In the photos, Dash could see a much younger version of her self with super long rainbow hair, as she hugged a younger Jim and holding a medal. The next photo was her other self again but this time with a younger Gilda and making funny faces to the phone. Next one was Dash but much older now and holding something thin and white in her hand but looked so happy. “...What are these photos...Is that me...and what is this thing?” asked Dash as she took the device and scanning it. “Nothing from the photos...oof...not even the last one?” questioned Gilda as she took back the phone and started to look for more photos but was stopped by Dash. “Look, you have the wrong pony. I’m not this person you two know. I have no idea what’s going on but if Twilight were here right now, she will believe I ended up in a different universe, like how Daring Do was caught in a wormhole and ended up in a different world where everypony was snake ponies and had to team up with her snake version to get home.” explained Dash. “Daring Do?” said Jim in confusing but he quickly realized what she meant as he snapped his fingers “Oh, you do mean Indiana Jones daughter?” “Who now?” Gilda signed as Jim tried to explain to Dash but stopped him as she butted in “Let’s try taking her to the places we been to before and see that broken brain fixes it stuff. I got the clothes like you wanted, I’ll be.” Dash and Jim watched as Gilda left the room and shut the door from behind, leaving the two alone. Dash went right back in messing with the bed. “Bed goes up, bed goes down.” playful thought Dash as she pressed the buttons but stopped as she noticed Jim smiling at her “What’?” Jim stopped smiling and just try to brush it off but Dash didn’t let him, as she kept asking him, so he finally caved in and answered her “You always do that when you get your hands on a bed that rises and lowers. Heck, remember when we got our first apartment? You wanted that kind of bed? I said no, as you would fry the thing out on the first night. You will also say “Bed goes up. Bed goes down.” Dash stopped playing with the control of the bed and blush as she heard that. She pouted and looked out the window and stay quite. “...and your mad.” thought Jim as he knows too well that reaction and waited for Gilda to return. Later, outside of the parking lot, Gilda watched as Dash, now wearing a red track suit, didn’t want to go with them. “Dash, please just get in the van. People are starting to give us weird looks.” say Jim as he held the van door opened. “I keep telling you, I’m not going with you two anywhere. I need to get back home or look for my friends at least! I shouldn’t be wasting time here!” yelled Dash as she was doing wheelies with her wheel chair. Jim sighed as he closed the door and tried to talk to her again but Gilda couldn’t take it it anymore as they been here for ten minutes already and this wasn't going nowhere. She got off the hood of her truck and walked over to Dash and tipped her over. Jim wasn’t worried as he knew Dash would recover from the fall, which did happen as Dash jumped from the chair and landed on the ground with both feet and glared at her attacker. “What the heck!? You could had hurt me!” barked Dash as she stomped over to Gilda. Gilda grinned as she put her face to face with Dash and spoke “Even with a broken and messed up brain, you still have your reflex! You wanna go!? Let’s go Dashie!” “Oh it’s on sister!” grinned back Dash as she jump backwards and took a fighting stance but stopped as she watch Gilda zipping down her jacket and revealing her muscular and tone body and sporting a workout top and started to run in place “What are you doing?” Gilda started to stretch her knees and spoke as she looked up at Dash “We’re going at it like we used to do it? We’re going to race!” “Race?” “Yeah, straight ahead. Whoever makes it to the other side of the parking lot, wins and the loser has to do whatever the winner wants. Deal?” finished Gilda as she finished her warm up Dash looked at the lot and could see it was fulled with the metal objects with spare spaces near the end. “We got to go through all that?” “Sure do, or are you out of shape or maybe even…” teased Gilda as Jim knew what she was going to say as he sighed and leaned back on his van “CHICKEN!?” Dash saw fire “OH I’M NOT CHICKEN! LET’S DO THIS! EVEN WITHOUT MY WINGS! I CAN STILL FLY!” yelled Dash as she too started to stretch her knees. “Did you really lose your memory?” thought Gilda as she heard that line before. She thought back so many years ago on that rainy day… 12 years ago “Give it up already, you aren’t breaking that record anytime soon.” tiredly said a teenager Gilda as she sat under a tree and her track clothes all muddy. “Won’t stop, can’t stop!” yelled back a teenager Dash with long hair “I need to beat it!” she finished as she ran pass Gilda and turned the corner of the track field but quickly slipped from the muddy ground. “How about now? Or did you become a piggy who loves to be covered in mud?” joke Gilda as she stood up and hurried over to Dash, who slowly got up. “Damn it!” cursed Dash as she kick the ground “Stupid weather man said it be sunny today. Bullshit! If I could control the weather, we won’t be getting all wet and dirty. “Easy now, what’s going on with you lately? I know we have a school race in a few weeks but you been going overboard. Is it because of the rumors of recruiters coming to watch?” questioned Gilda. Dash turned around and burst out laughing after what she just heard “PLEASE! I keep telling those people I’m not going pro! My real dream is more important! Running is just a hobby.” “Then what’s going?” Dash laughter slowly went away and she sat on the muddy track ground and looked up to the sky “I wanna someone, even without wings, you can still fly…never give up.” Gilda repeated that line to herself, as she watched as Dash returned to running but quickly stopped as she noticed two people coming to them while under an umbrella. Dash ran even faster as one person waved back to them. Gilda could only watch as Dash soar around the track, like she was in her element. She swear, she could see a rainbow being form from behind Dash. “Even without wings huh?” whispered Gilda as she turned to the two people, which one was in a wheelchair. Gilda and Dash took a running stance and waited as Jim rose his hand. “If you gonna show me that you can still fly, even without your wings, Dash.” Grinned Gilda as she kept looking straight ahead “You better show us that rainbow! Rainbow Dash!” “Rainbow? You mean…” but before Dash could finish, Jim lowered his hand and both girls took off. Both girls were neck to neck as they ran towards the first set of cars. Gilda put a hand out and spring jumped over the hood of the car and slide across the next car hood and the last car, she quickly run around it as she didn’t had time to do another slide as it was too close. Gilda thought for sure she had a lead but only for Dash to run pass her and jumped over the next car. “What!?” thought Gilda as she tried to increase her speed to catch up. Jim smiled as he seen what happened that Gilda didn’t saw. Dash jumped over all three cars hood with no problem, as she didn’t lose any speed unlike Gilda in the last car. Jim could only watched in awe as Dash did it again with the next set of cars. Old feelings set in as he remembered the old days… 12 years ago Teenager Jim soar pass the finish line and dropped to his knees as he tried to capture his breath. He gave it his all but he knew it wasn’t enough, as he looked up and could see Dash tapping her foot and smiling as she walked up to him. “Still can’t beat me. Sure, you are good after recovering but not Dash good.” giggled Dash as she helped him up and patted his back. “I can never reach your level Dash. Not anymore…” replied Jim as he limped away to the benches and sitting down in sadness. “I didn’t mean...crap…” whispered Dash as she realized she messed up. She walked over and sat down next to him and took out a water bottle and gave it to him “Sorry, I was just hype that you started to run again.” Jim drank a bit before looking up at the sunny blue sky with no clouds in sight, “Even recovering, my leg still acts up. My dream is over…” “Don’t say that!” yelled Dash as she stood up “We just need to keep training is all! You be back to normal!” “Dash, please stop…” “Nope, I’m going to show you to never give up on your dreams! Keep running, keep going. Never give up!” ordered Dash as pulled Jim by the hand and back onto the track field “Be loyal to your dreams, okay Jimmy?” smiled Dash as she turned back to him. Jim watched on in awe as the sun shine bright around Dash. She looked beautiful as she stood there. He couldn’t help himself but blush as Dash snapped her fingers in front of his eyes. “You there?” asked Dash in worry. “I’m fine, sorry.” told Jim as he took his running stance “Thanks blue skies…” “Blue sky?” laughed Dash as she set up next to him “I don’t need another nickname you know? First Gilda calling me Rainbow Dash after that training session. Now you? Why blue skies anyway?” “Because you look beautiful as the blue sky.” said Jimmy as he took off, leaving Dash bright red and in shock. “Even now, you still look beautiful as the sky.” smiled Jim as he watched Dash in the lead as her and Gilda finally got through the last set of cars and where nearing the end goal. Gilda was catching up but clearly won’t make it in time as Dash had no sign of slowly down. “Damn, thought I had a chance!” cursed Gilda as she pushing her all “You hadn’t run in years but yet, you look like you been running in those years!” “Maybe she did but I haven’t!” yelled back Dash as she turned up her speed. Dash could feel the high coming from this race, she hardly did foot races because how easy it was to out race everypony but this time? She had a challenge. This non-Gilda was catching up every second. She felt a warmth growing inside of her. She wanted to go faster… Gilda eyes went wide as she could see something forming behind Dash back. It was rainbow sparkles, almost like rainbow wings...that’s when her and Jimmy felt something, both of them felt weak all of a sudden. Gilda running became sloppy as the weakest grow faster. “What’s going on?” thought Gilda as she tried her best to not fall. Dash on the other hand, could feel her body getting lighter and faster, like she was soaring with her wings. She wanted to go faster, higher! But she quickly heard something. Ding-dong “A bell?” said Dash as her chest started to hurt. She felt off, like something or someone was giving her a death stare. She started to slow down as the rainbow sparkles faded from her back, making Gilda and Jim recovered from their weakness. This gave Gilda enough time to surpass Dash and reaching the goal as she touch the fence of the parking lot. Dash stopped and clutch her chest as she started to sweat. Gilda noticed and quickly rush to her and held her as she sit her down. “Whoa, take it easy. You really are out of shape, huh?” laughed Gilda “Flying around with the Blue Angels got you like this.” “Blue what?” asked Dash as her chest pain faded away. Gilda sighed as she help Dash up and helped her back to Jimmy. “I beat your sorry ass. You better follow through with the deal.” demanded Gilda as she tossed Dash into Jimmy car “Or I’ll kick your blue butt again!” “I lost, I get it! Let’s just finish this already and go?” said Dash as she lay down in the back seat. Jimmy shut the door and turned to Gilda “Thanks. I’ll take it from here.” “No problem jimbo. Just call me if she’s acting up again. Got any clues to remember who she is?” questioned Gilda as she put on her jacket on her shoulder. “A few. Tho one places comes to mind.” whispered Jim “Whelp, good luck and don’t worry.” grin Gilda as she put her hand on his shoulder “You’ll make her remember. You was always the reason she kept flying.” Jim thanked Gilda and got into the car and drove away, leaving Gilda alone as she headed to her jeep but was stopped as the parking offices came running towards as they got reports of two girls jumping on cars and making their alarms go off. “Shit…” laughed Gilda softly. Unknown to her, a tall creature with wings was watching the event and flew off. Meanwhile, five blue fighter jet soar pass over the town and headed towards an military airbase miles away. A female voice spoke from the radio with a lay back tone. “Bet it’s great to be home again, huh RD?” The pilot with a blue helmet spoke as she touch a picture on the dashboard “You know it. Sadly it’s only for a day before we head out again…” She took the photo off the dash and held it “Still, seeing my friends and...” In the picture, were Dash, as she was next to Jim, Gilda on her side, Sptfire on Jim side and both making funny faces, human version of Fluttershy, who was standing next to a very tall man as both were waving to the camera, her own mom and Dad, as they stood behind them. She rubbed the photo of her and Jim as they held a child between them. “...Family again, It’s gonna be wonderful.” End of ch5 //-------------------------------------------------------// ch6 Remembering //-------------------------------------------------------// ch6 Remembering “So...Jim, right? Where are you taking me?” asked Dash as she finally got up from the backseat and looked out the window “I’m taking you somewhere that’s important to us.” smiled Jim as he took a turn and drove into a parking lot of a park “It has a lot of important memories here.” Jim parked the van and exited it along with Dash. Jim lead Dash through the park and along the way, people waved at them, until few male teenagers, who were wearing sport outfits and jogging, stopped in front of them. “Hey coach! Surprised to see you here with your wife. Yo Mrs Reine, back in town I see.” said the male teenager as he saluted Dash Dash confusingly saluted back and the boys started to talk with Jim about school, as its starting soon as summer gonna end and hoping they get him as their P.E teacher. After the quick chat, the boys said farewell and went on their way. “So, you are a coach?” asked Dash as she followed him behind few trees “And what’s up with the salute those kids gave to me?” Jim kept going as he push some branches away as he spoke “I’m a P.E teacher at the high school. Started last year. I was their track and field coach.” Jim stopped and turn to Dash, “Your in the air force but I’ll explained that back home...hopefully not, if this works out.” “It’s not, trust me.” sighed Dash as they returned walking through the trees and finally came out into an open clearing. Dash could see the open grass area had worn out trail around it, like people were walking in circles for years. “Anything?” questioned Jim as looked over to her but she said no. “Okay...maybe reminding you will help.” Jim took Dash hand and pulled her to the dirt track and let go as he turn red. Dash could see he was trying to figure out how start it or find the right words. “Okay, this where we first met as kids. I just moved here in the summer when I was nine and I was looking around the park and got lost and ended up here…” “Crap, how I get lost in a freaking park?” asked young Jim to himself as he walk through the woods but suddenly stopped as he finally found the clearing and found himself spotting a girl as she ran around the dirt circle path “A girl?” Jim watched as the rainbow haired girl ran a few laps and stopped as she stare into the sky and grin with joy. After a few seconds, she returned running and Jim slowly stepped out of the trees as he was star struck by her beauty and to him, when she’s running, he felt inspired but quickly snapped out of it as the girl noticed him and stopped. “Yo, need something my dude?” asked young Dash as she waved to him. Jim said nothing as he waved back and tried to leave but Dash quickly ran up to him and tap her foot. “You really gonna leave and not say anything? Were you spying on me? Perv!” asked Dash as her face became mad “What!?” blushed Jim as he back away in shock Dash started to crack a smile and finally broke out into laughter as Jim became nervous and sweating “Oh my god, I was just joking my dude. Chill.” grin Dash as she Jim a thumb up. Dash lead Jim to under a tree, where her backpack is and gave him a juice bottle as she asked him a question if he just moved. “How did you know?” “Never seen you before is all. So, why are you here?” “I...got lost…” admitted Jim as he drank his juice. Dash laughed at the answer, making Jim blush even more. Soon both kids were just talking about themselves as Dash told him she wanted to be the best runner, so she can finally fulfill her dream. Jim asked what, but Dash quickly changed subjects. (That was the first time you talked about your life long dream. You didn’t had friends because of how different you were from the other girls. You was friendly but not trusting to me) “Hey, I gotta go home before my mom gets worried.” said Dash as she put her backpack on “It was nice meeting you...oh, never got your name?” asked Dash as she help Jim up from the ground and walked with him to the exit of the park. “Names Jim Reine. Family and friends called me jimmy.” Jim replied “Never got your name?” “Well my name is…” Dash trailed off as she dashed off but yelling back “I’LL TELL YOU IF YOU CAN BEAT ME TO THE EXIT!” (When you took off like that, I felt something. Watching you run, it gave me a reason to run like my life was in danger. I wanted to know you more.) Jim ran after her but even with giving it his all, he was left in the dust as the girl reach the exit and watched him struggle to keep going. She shouted out to him as he stopped to catch his breath. “Diana! My name is Diana McCloud!” (Diana? You been calling me Dash tho) “But call me Dash! Hate my first name!” (oh...don’t blame my other self.) (I still think it’s a wonderful name.) (Yeah yeah.) (…) Jim sighed and walked away from Dash as he looked up to the sky. It was clear blue with bit of clouds around. “I think that’s when I fell in love with you. You gave off an aura like no other. I wanted to follow you. I wanted to be the best runner in the world. Be by your side. You always thought I was trying to beat you but I wasn’t, just wanted to run with you.” Spoke Jim as he rose his hand into the air “Not just me, but our friends too. Gilda hated you when you beat her ass in that school race but she soon saw you as a good friend.” Jim kept his arm up as the sun ray passed over his hand “Sky, Spitfire, she’s glad you helped her believe in herself after losing the finals and you two became wing mates in the air force.” As the sun ray disappeared as a cloud passed over, a butterfly landed on his finger “Florina, she was the second friend you made, after you protected her from the bullies because she’s non-verbal.” the butterfly flew away and Jim lowered his hand and turned to Dash, who started to feel bad as she could see Jim hurting “Even when I thought my dream ended when I hurt my leg, you kept it alive. You push me to still follow that dream but in a different way. Teaching kids to run. You believed in us and we believed in you back. Your dream was to fly. It’s why you run. Hoping to reach the sky.” Jim walked back to Dash and took her hand and held it tight. “Doesn’t all that sound familiar? Anything?” Dash closed her eyes and slowly put her hand on his “I’m sorry but I’m not your Dash,” Jim closed his eyes in sadness “Nothing? Really?” Dash said nothing. Jim let go and took a few minutes to recover. “Let’s go back home. I know someone will help you remember.” said Jim as he walked away. Dash couldn’t find it in her heart to say no as she followed him back. Meanwhile, outside of the air force base, a group of four people, each wearing a blue bomber jacket with their off duty clothes, were waiting outside of the parking area. Tall light blue male with dark comb back hair, checked his watch. “Yo, what’s taking Misty so long in getting the jeep? I wanna eat!” “Chill Soren, it’s not even been that long.” replied a white female with super short yellow hair, as she was playing something on her phone. Both started to go back and fourth about Misty as this world Dash and Spitfire looked away and laughed as they sat on their duffel bags. “Bet ten bucks they’re finally going to hook up after they get back to base.” grin Spitfire “It’s on.” laughed Dash as she took out her own broken screen phone. Spitfire leaned on Dash shoulder and spoke in a teasing tone “Gonna call your hubby? Miss him that much?” Dash blushed as she put the phone away and lowered her sunglasses “Nah, I want to surprise them is all. Got back home early, so wanna see their faces.” smiled Dash. Spitfire rolled her eyes and got up as her and everyone saw a jeep coming towards them. “You been married to him 6 years and you still get flustered when we tease you about loving him.” Spitfire laughed as she helped Dash up. “Shut it!” coldly replied Dash before laughing. “Still, it’s great to be home. Even if it’s just one day.” Spitfire said. “Yeah…” replied Dash in sadness as she got into the jeep. Spitfire hopped in and put her arm around Dash and whispered into her ear. “Enjoy that alone time then, okay?” Dash turned bright red and push Spitfire off as the others got in and the jeep drove off down the road. The quite drive back home was super awkward as Dash lay in the back seat again and thought to herself as Jim just drove. “This is the most awful thing I been stuck in. Dude trying his best to help his wife but I’m not his wife. Not his Dash. Did I jumped into his wife body? Or is she out there? What should I do? Should I make a run for it when he’s not looking? Or should I say play along and leave when his Dash comes back? If she comes back….” thought Dash as she as thought of more plans. Jim looked into the rear mirror and frown as Dash turned her back to him. He quickly took out his phone and saw a few text and quickly replied. “Okay, we’re home.” said Jim as he parked the van behind another car. Dash got up and noticed the old looking blue car and asked who that belongs too but Jim didn’t answer her as he got out and opened the van door for her. Dash stepped out and watched as two older people stepped outside of Jim house. Dash quickly realize who they were. The tall dark blue chubby male, with short and balding rainbow hair, wearing green shirt and brown pants, stepped forward and waved to her. “Hey kiddo…” The short light blue skin female with red and orange hair, wearing a yellow sun dress, slowly walked pass the man and rose her hand to Dash. “Sweetie, do you remember us?” Dash heart started to race as she step back. “Mom? Dad?” Dash mom started to cry as she ran towards to Dash and hugged her tight. Her dad quickly follow suit and joined in the hug. Jim leaned back on the van and finally felt relief as he believed Dash finally started to remember. “Jim called us after what happened! My poor baby! Thank heavens you remember us!” cried Dash mom as she let her go and wipe away her tears. “Jimbo been texting us and really wasn’t looking good. Glad your back baby girl!” snored Dash father as he let her go and tried to man up “We cut the bird watching short and got back here as fast as we could. Sh-” Dash closed her eyes and rose her hands to stop her father from speaking. “Stop! Your not my parents! Well you are but not at the same time.” Dash opened her eyes and could see how hurt her other self parents are “I’m sorry.” Jim slid down the side of the van and felt like screaming as tears started to build up in his eyes. Dash mom noticed and quickly ran to him and calm him down. “Sweetie, it’s going to be okay. Bow, get her!” “Right Wendy, I’ll get her!” replied Bow as he ran back inside the house and opened the door for someone. Dash watch as a little girl, holding a book, stepped outside. Dash quickly knew who it was as she recognize the features on the girl. The little girl was wearing blue t-shirt with a yellow bolt on it and black shorts with rainbow stripes on the sides. Her skin was light orange with long purple ponytail but at the tips, were bit of rainbow color. The girl walked in front of and smiled as she opened the book and showed Dash. “Mommy! I spotted a blue jay! Even got a picture!” Dash kneel down and softly spoke “Scootaloo?” “Scootaloo?” confusingly replied the girl as she closed the book “That sounds like a chicken. Why you changed my nick name mommy? It’s Scoots! I’m not a chicken!” Dash rose her hand and petted Scoots as Jim walked over and kneel to them. “You have to remember her? Our daughter, Sophia!” Jim touch Dash shoulder “Remember…remember when you realize you had morning sickness and had the test. Remember how happy we were when we gonna be parents. Remember her first birthday? How you overdid it with baby proofing the house? Anything?” Dash grabbed Jim hand and squeezed it as she spoke “You need to stop. I keep telling you over and over, I’m not your Dash.” Jim finally broken down as he punch the ground, making his daughter back away in surprise. “This isn’t fair damn it! Give her back to me!” yelled Jim as he pound the ground again and again. Dash parents was about to step in when Dash quickly stood up and punch Jim in the face as tears were falling down her face. Scoots dropped her book and grabbed Dash leg and crying to stop the fighting. “THIS ISN’T FAIR FOR ME TOO! I’M HURTING YOU GUYS! IT’S BREAKING MY HEART!” screamed Dash as she stared at her other self family “Seeing her having a great life, marrying a loyal and kind guy who’s trying everything he has to get back his wife, seeing that she has a wonderful little girl...a life that I don’t have but I hope to have one day…it’s not fair. I wanna go home...back to my life...” finish Dash as she petted Scoots head. “Blue skies…” whispered Jim as he got up and held her with his daughter, soon Dash parents joined in. Dash didn’t reject it as she started to cry again. After a few minutes of crying, Dash was back to normal and playing with Scoots as they ran around the front yard. Bow grin as he spoke Jim. “Yeah, our little girl wouldn’t do this.” “Yeah, blue skies would make her wear protective gear before they run around like this. Sophia had one fall and Dash freaked out as she saw bloody knee.” laughed Jim “You think she’s be back to normal?” questioned Wendy “...i don’t know.” sighed Jim “But this is Dash. She always bounce back.” “Hope your right sweetie.” Wendy called out to the girls to come inside as she wanted to get started on dinner. Scoot ran inside with her grandpa behind her and leaving Jim and Dash alone as they stopped outside of the front door. “I have to leave...I need to get home.” said Dash Jim sighed and smiled back to her “Least eat something. You haven’t eat nothing all day. After dinner, you can tell us...everything again…” finished Jim as he entered the house. Dash felt her stomach crying for food and followed inside. Ten minutes later, a jeep stopped in front of the house and Dash jumped out of the jeep and put her bag around her shoulder and waved goodbye to her team as the jeep took off down the road. “Oh, mom and dad are here I see. Must be making dinner for them.” smiled Dash as she noticed their car and walked over to it “Oh right!” Dash dropped her bag on the ground and took out a blue pony wearing a wonderbolt like suit “She’s gonna love this!” “I’M GOING TO GET MY BOOK!” yelled Scoot as she opened the door and jumped over the steps but landed wrong as she trip over and fell. “SOPHIA!” screamed Dash as she ran to her daughter and picked her up in her arms “BABY ARE YOU HURT!?” cried Dash as she kiss her daughter face, “Mommy!? How are you here? Wasn’t you just-” but before Scoot could finish, Dash cut her off. “Home early baby girl! Well, just for a day. Here.” Dash smiled as she handed the bear to her daughter and scooping up the book and bag as she walked to the door “I told you to wear knee pads and your helmet if you want to play outside.” “Sorry mommy…” said Scoot as she hugged her mom “But you must be fast mommy! I didn’t notice you running pass me or anything.” Dash was a little confuse but brush this off as a kid thing and stepped inside the living room and headed to the kitchen after dropping her bag on the lazy boy chair. “Mom? Dad? Jim? I’m…” trail off Dash as she noticed her family was making a meal but was frozen as they looked at her and back to Rainbow Dash, who was also staring at her from across the table “...home?” End of ch6 Author's Note scoot skin color will be explained next chapter but i'll say it here. Jim has his father skin tone but his mom skin color is orange. so scoot has her mom hair(with purple being the largest color as the rainbow colors are at the tips but when she gets older, the rainbow colors will slowly take over) and her father skin tone from his mom side //-------------------------------------------------------// Ch.7 Face to Face //-------------------------------------------------------// Author's Note note: Rainbow = pony Dash Dash = anthro Dash Ch.7 Face to Face “Oh thank celestia, I thought I jumped into your body or switch places like in those sci-fi books!” said Rainbow Dash as she sighed with relief as this world Dash was standing in the kitchen doorway with her daughter “See! I was telling you the truth here!” “Holy shit…” whispered Jim as he had to catch himself from the shock. “Jim! Mom and dad, get over here! NOW!” yelled Dash as she held her daughter tight. “What?” said Wendy as her and her husband did what they was told but Jim didn’t move as he stood up “Blue skies, calm down.” calmly spoke Jim “She can explain...she was trying this whole time and it sounds crazy bu-” “JIM! GET AWAY FROM HER!” angry ordered Dash as she handed her daughter to her father “THIS FAKER IS AN ENEMY AGENT OR SOMETHING! TRYING TO HURT MY FAMILY WILL YOU! TRYING TO LOOK LIKE ME! WHAT ARE YOU AFTER!?” Rainbow Dash jolt up from her chair in anger as she spoke “Whoa! Faker? I think you're the fake around here. You're comparing yourself to me? The one and only awesome Rainbow Dash! Ha. You're not even good enough to be my fake!” “I'll make you eat those words!” barked back Dash as she ran and jumped over the table and kicked Rainbow Dash, which made her went flying into the wall. “Ow!” shouted Rainbow as she rubbed the back of her head “Why you!” Rainbow stood up and dashed towards Dash and tried to tackle her but failed as Dash dodged it and grabbed Rainbow by her collar and pushing her through the opened backyard door, which made Rainbow crashed land in the backyard. Dash hurry out to the yard and tried to body slam on to Rainbow but she wasn’t fast enough as Rainbow did a back flip and as she did it, she kicked Dash on the chin and made her land on her back but she she quickly recovered from that. Jim and the others stopped at the doorway and watched as both Dash’s stared each other down. “Mommy!” cried Scoot as she wanted to be with her mom as she tried to get out of her grandpa arms “Mommy!” “It’s gonna be okay! Mommy won’t let nothing bad happen!” grin Dash as she gave her child a thumbs up. Rainbow turned to Jim and the others. She could see her other world parents being scared, while she could see Jim worried. She knows she shouldn’t be here, she bringing problems to this version of her family. It be best if she should ran and try to find her friends than staying here any longer. “Look, I don’t want trouble with you, other me. I’m leaving okay?” said Rainbow as she turned her back to Dash “See ya!” Rainbow took off in seconds and was already in the front yard but to her surprise, her other version beat her there. “Yeah, I’m not letting you go, faker!” replied Dash “Not after you stepped into my fu-” Dash stopped as she saw her daughter running to the front door “fudging home!” “Fudge?” confusingly asked Rainbow as she tilt her head to the side “I’M NOT GONNA CURSE IN FRONT OF MY DAUGHTER!” yelled Dash as she blush Jim reach to the front door and quickly step out and stood between the two. “Stop! Cool it Blue Skies!” “Jim, what the heck!? Why are you trying to stop me?” “Let her explain, she’s telling the truth about…” Jim stopped and sighed as he rubbed his eyelids “She’s gone isn’t she?” Jim turned around and didn’t see Rainbow anywhere “Great...okay Blue Skies, let me...she’s gone too, isn’t she?” “Yes papa!’ laughed Scoot as Jim turned and saw that Dash was gone as well. “...Yup, they’re the same person alright.” Dash and Rainbow were both neck to neck as they ran down the road as the sun was started to set. “You’re fast!” grin Rainbow “Well, you are me after all.” “You call that fast?” grin back Dash as she took out her sunglasses and put them on “Ha! Only one person ever beat me in a race!” Dash took a swing at Rainbow but miss “And I’m not letting you change that!” “Whatever! I’m not trying to fight with you!” replied Rainbow as she blocked a punch “Stop that!” “Make me!” answered back Dash as she took another swing but was blocked again. “She’s me, so out running her isn’t the answer here.” thought Rainbow as she kept up her blocks “I need to do something...but what?...wait...can I do it here? Even without my wings?” Dash stopped attacking and could see Rainbow was thinking something. She was wondering what she was planning but to her surprise, she could see Rainbow was increasing her speed and was slowly passing her. “What?” said Dash in shock, as no one could ever pass her in a race. Rainbow closed her eyes and tried to remember that feeling. That same feeling back when she was young, back on that day when she saved Rarity and that day showing off to the sky pirates. She needed more speed. She needed her wings back. She needed her friends. She needed to go back home. Dash tried to increase her speed but she couldn’t match Rainbow speed at all as she started to be out run in a long time. She closed her eyes and tried to remember that day. The day she was giving it her all as she raced another runner. She was neck to neck to him. He wasn’t giving up as he pushing himself to the max. She needs to remember that feeling she had. It was that day, she lost in a race for the first time ever but it was the first race where she pushed herself beyond her normal limit. To challenge him on equal ground. To accept his love. “I lost that day...but I didn’t at the same time!” thought Dash to herself “I gain something. Something that I won’t ever lose!” whispered Dash as flashes of Jim and her family appeared in her mind and a quick flash of Jim as he was in a wheel chair and then walking with a cane “I. WON’T. LET. YOU. TAKE. THAT. AWAY! NOT FROM HIM!” Both girls opened their eyes and was again neck to neck to each other but they both could feel something deep within them. Almost like they could break the sound barrier any minute now as the world around them started to blur and soon a high speed pitch sound started to whistle around them. “STOP!” yelled a familiar voice as both girls turned their heads back and could see Jim running far behind them. ‘Jim?” said Rainbow as she decrease her speed as she noticed he was sweating up a storm and looking like he was in great pain “hey, are yo-” “JIM!?” shouted Dash in fear as she brake hard and ran towards Jim as she caught him in her arms as he collapse “WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? YOU CAN’T RUN!” cried Dash as she set Jim on the side of the road and rolling up his left jean leg. She could feel his leg getting hot and swollen “Dumbass, why?” Rainbow walked over and wanted to help but stopped as Jim signal her to stay right there. “Blue Skies, I’m fine. Really...just need…” replied Jim as he tried to catch his breath “Your not fucking fine! We need to take you to the hospital!” said Dash as she was about to carry him in her arms but was stopped by him. “Please stop. You need to stop being overprotected with us, you know?” laughed Jim as he placed his hand on her cheek “Listen to me, she’s not agent or whatever, she’s...well, you.” “Me? That doesn’t make any sense, Jim.” “Look at her, she has the same voice, looks and even acts like you, minus the overprotected part of course. I remember before she found me, there was a bright rainbow flash in the sky. Then with Gilda race, I remember seeing...something behind her back, I thought I was seeing something but when I was trying to catch up with you two, I saw it again.” explained Jim as Rainbow touched her back in confusing “She was tested and her rare blood type is the same as yours. Listen to me Blue Skies, let her explain.” Dash slowly turned to Rainbow, who waved at her, and scanned her body and sighed. “Fine, I’ll listen to whatever bullshit story she has…” ‘Okay this is bull alright…” sighed Dash as she finished hearing Rainbow story and about her world as she sat at the dinner table with her family “You telling me, that you are a pony?” “Pegasus.” corrected Rainbow as she took out a bite of a grill cheese sandwich. “Pegasus, where magic is real, the sun and moon is controlled by two unicorns” “Alicorns.” Rainbow corrected again “Whatever, and you are here because some freaky crystal sent you and your friends here?” “I’m not 100% sure about my friends but I hope they did…” replied Rainbow as she finished her sandwich. Dash rubbed the sides of her head, still trying to understand all this. This was sci-fi bullshit you see in movies or books but it was real. The multiverse trope is real? No, she can’t believe it...but she has too, a copy of herself is sitting across from her. She turned to Jim and her parents as they asked her copy few questions. “So...we’re flying ponies in your world? Do I still have my hair?” laughed Bow as he sat back in his chair and relaxing. “Kind of.” giggled Rainbow “Well sh-” “Dad!” “Honey!” said both Dash and her mom at the same time as they glared at Bow, who remembered that Scoot was still eating at the table and watching videos on youtube with her ipad. “Poop…” coughed Bow Jim shook his head and asked Rainbow a question as he pick up everyone plate that was done eating. “If your here, then there’s a good chance your friends are here too but like you, maybe they ended up near our world versions of themselves. Like i said, I remember hearing a loud blast of thunder and followed by flash of rainbow light this morning. Maybe since Blue Skies was coming here, that crystal dropped you off here?” Rainbow eyes lit up with hope and quickly stood up from her chair. “Then I need to find them! I need get out of here and look for the same event...but where do I start?” realized Rainbow as she sat back in the chair and losing hope. Everyone in the room started to feel for her until Scoot grabbed her pad and hurry over to Rainbow. “Don’t be sad mommy number 2!” smiled Scoot as she put the pad in front of Rainbow and played a video “Is this your friend?” Rainbow watched as the video showed Twilight, as she was fighting a humanoid being, as her purple glowing wings and horn appeared. “Twilight!” happily yelled Rainbow as she grabbed the pad and kept watching “Wait, what the heck is she fighting!?” Jim and everyone gathered around Rainbow and watched along as well. Until Jim and Dash noticed something at the same time. “Wait, shouldn’t she be on youtube kids!?” “Wait, I remember hearing about this from Gilda, wasn’t this a weird promo ad event from that underground duo...wait, what?” said both parents Dash quickly glared at her father, who was looking away as he whistled, leaving Jim and the others to sigh. Rainbow had no idea what was going on but asked what Jim meant. “Like I was saying, Gilda, being a big fan, follows the duo group called Twilight Shine. They’re an underground music group, ranging from dubstep, Djing to rapping. This event happened like weeks ago if I remember right,” explained Jim as he took out his phone and opened a website and showed her “After that, they created this website and only thing on it is this weird question.” Rainbow read the question and sighed with relief. She asked Jim to answer the question as she said told him the answer. After putting the answer in, the website was sent to another website, where a phone number appeared. “Holy cow!” said Dash as it finally set in that this was real. Everything that her copy was saying was real. She took out her phone and quickly push in the number and handed it to Rainbow “Here. It’s ringing, which means it’s waiting for someone to answer.” Rainbow took the phone and placed it near her ear and could hear it was ringing. Few seconds later, she could hear a very familiar voice on the other end. “Twilight, is that you?” “Rainbow Dash!?” cheerfully said Twilight Rainbow stood up from her chair in happiness and spoke “It’s really you Twilight! You have no idea what I been through…” Dash smiled as she saw Rainbow talking up a storm but quickly noticed the tears in her eyes. She turned to everyone and told to them to give her other self some alone time with her friend. After some time, Rainbow Dash told her story and was getting caught up in Twilight story. “Wait wait wait, you met this world Trixie? She’s a mob boss or something?” asked Rainbow as she was walking back and forth “Then this creature attacked you again? Why?” “The creature attacked me because this universe see us as a threat.” explained Twilight “A threat? Us?” “Yes, my magic seems to drain the life force away from any living creature. If my ailcorn magic fully returns...i don’t want to think about it as you might picture it.” sadly said Twilight “...Yeah, I get it now but I don’t have magic?” asked Rainbow as she leaned on the sliding doors to the backyard. “You kind of do, in this world, the weather is controlled by nature than by this world inhabits. Plus, you were once the holder of the elements. Since you lost your wings, then there’s a good chance that if you get them back, you’ll drain any life force around you.” Rainbow lowered the phone and turned to the living room doorway and could hear the family talking among themselves about something. “So, I’m a walking life force eating monster huh? So wher-...huh!?” Rainbow suddenly grabbed her chest as she could hear a bell ringing. “Rainbow? Are you okay?” Asked Twilight in a worried tone as she could hear her friend breathing hard Rainbow Dash could feel something behind her, like it was death itself. She slowly turned around and standing on the other side of the glass, was a tall and yellow female looking humanoid creature with short green hair, it had wings like a Pegasus but having a Y shape horn. Rainbow glared into the creature dark black eyes as it glared back at her. Rainbow slowly put the phone up to her ear and spoke with fear. “It’s here.” Before Twilight could reply, the creature slammed its arm through the glass and grabbed Rainbow by her throat and pulled her through the glass door and sent her flying onto the backyard and crashing into the shed. Rainbow coughed up some blood as she felt her body hurting badly. She slowly got up and walked out of the broken shed and took a battle stance as the creature hover over to her. “What the hell was that!?” yelled Jim as him and the others ran toward the kitchen and could see the creature as it turned it’s head towards them “Isn't that thing from the video? looks different, no?” “Stay away! It’s after me!” yelled Rainbow “Invader. Infected life. Must get rid of as well.” coldly said the creature as it fully turned it’s back on Rainbow and hovered towards to Dash and her family. “What!? No leave them alone!” yelled back Rainbow as she dash towards the creature but was quickly smack away by its wing and sent flying again but into the woods and hitting a tree and crashing into the ground. “Deal later.” said the creature as it kept hovering closer to Dash's family “Jim, Mom and dad, take scoot and get away!” ordered Dash as she stepped forward and readying for a fight. “Sweetie!? No!” “Hell no! Your coming coming with us!” “Your parents are right, you can’t fight that thing! You just saw what it did to the other you!” Dash turned to them and yelled again “I SAID GO! I’M THE ONLY ONE HERE WHO CAN FIGHT! I’M NOT LETTING THIS THING HURT YOU!” Before anyone could get a word in, the creature quickly soar towards at them and tried to punch Dash but misses as she dodged it and quickly did a follow up with a side jab. The creature took the force of the jab and pushed back the punch as it turned its head at Dash and spoke again. “Weak.” The creature punched Dash in the stomach and then grabbed her by the back of her jacket and tossed her over the house. She went flying and was about to hit the ground when Rainbow quickly dashed in and grabbed her in time. “Whoa! Close one!” “What? How did you get here so fast?” asked Dash as Rainbow helped her to stand. “You gotta ask? Remember? We’re the fastest thing alive!” grin Rainbow “I’m not that fast tho…” thought Dash as her pride was broken Suddenly, Dash family ran out of the house and hid behind them as the creature flew through the house, leaving behind a huge hole. “Destroy invader and infected.” coldly said the creature as it soar quickly at them but was stopped as Rainbow ran towards it and pulling her arms out and stopping it in its place. “Leave them out of this pal!” angry said Rainbow as she was giving it her all to just hold the creature in place. She turned to the others “I got this! Get out of here!” “And leave you behind? Sorry sister, I’m no coward! I can help you take this big idiot down!” grin Dash “Come on, don’t be stubborn and cocky here!” yelled Rainbow “Man, I think I understand the girls now in how I act sometimes…” “Annoying” said the creature as it gave more force to start pushing Rainbow back. “Oh, this isn’t good!” said Rainbow as she lost her footing and was sent flying backwards with the creature and crashing into the street and started to get punch over and over by the creature. Dash ordered her family into the van and ran over to the fight and tried to jump on the back of the creature but was tossed away by its wing. “Get in the van everyone!” yelled Jim as he took his daughter and placed her in the car seat and put her seat belt on. He looked at her and could see she was crying “Don’t worry baby, mommy always wins her fights.” Scoot could see her mother finally got on the back of the creature and had it in a choke hold, allowing Rainbow to get out under of it and starting punching the stomach of the creature. “Get in Jim!” ordered Bow as he got in the driver seat and started the van up. Jim closed the door and look back at his wife and Rainbow as they kept fighting the creature. He didn’t want to leave but he had no choice, so he was about to run to the other side of the van when the creature grabbed Dash and Rainbow and tossed them both towards the van. Dash crashed into the side and slid down as her daughter was screaming for her and Rainbow crash into the van hood, cracking the windshield. Jim ran back around and check on Dash but the creature was already there and grabbed him by his face and slammed his head into the van side, that window of the door crack badly. The creature let him go and watched as he hit the ground and out cold. Bow got out of the van and shouted at the creature to fight him, who in turn blasted him away with it’s horn energy. The creature watched as the Wendy exited the van through the driver side and screaming for her husband, as smoke was coming off his chest as he was knock out as well. “Mommy! Daddy!” cried Scoot as she held her stuff toy as the creature lower itself to look at her. Rainbow could hear the crying and weakly opened her eyes and could see what was happening. She rolled off the hood and fell to the ground. Her back was on screaming in pain, she couldn’t stand up. “Annoying little human.” Rainbow could see the creature slowly rising its hand and touching the window. It made its hand into a fist. Rainbow quickly grew with fear as she knew what was about to happen. She tried to stand up by grabbing on the grill of the van. She needed to move or it be too late. She needed to move now! “MOVE!” yelled Rainbow as she tried to move her legs. She could see the creature arm moving back. Scoot was still crying. Her other self was still knock out, same with Jim and Bow. Wendy was still freaking out for her husband to notice what was happening with her granddaughter. It had to be her. Only she can stop this. “Rainbow Dash!” called out a familiar voice Rainbow soon found herself back in Ponyville and standing before her was scootaloo. “Come on Rainbow Dash! You can beat that thing!” cheered Scootaloo as she faded away into dust A bell rang out as everything around Rainbow started to crack and fall apart. The void started to bleed through the cracks and cover her body. Soon she was gone within the darkness. “Never give up!” yelled Scootaloo as her words echo across the nothingness. Within the dark void, a bright rainbow light blasted out. The creature thrust its fist at Scoot but it was suddenly caught by a blue hand. It turned to see Rainbow but glowing with rainbow light, as her wings gave off a rainbow halo behind them. It could see Rainbow had a pissed off expression as she broke the creature hand and jumped kick it away from the van and flying into the woods miles away. “You okay Scoots?” smiled Rainbow as peek inside the van. Scoots nodded as she was speechless at the sight she was seeing “Good, stay in there. This isn’t over.” Rainbow turned back where she sent the creature away, only to see it had returned and hovering above her. “I see why mother wanted you dead.” said the creature as it landed “You are truly a threat to our world.” “Mother? Who’s that?” asked Rainbow as she walked forward and cracking her knuckles “You know what? I don’t care anyway. I’m going to kick your butt. The only threat here is you pal!” The creature rose its hand and pointed behind Rainbow “No. You are.” Rainbow turned around and froze in fear. She quickly remembered what Twilight had said and she was looking at first hand at her actions. Her other self, her parents and Jim were clutching their chests as rainbow energy were coming out of them and into her wings rainbow halos. She was killing them but she noticed that Scoots was fine? Scoot was completely fine as she tried to open the door, so she could be with her parents. “Then I’ll end it fast!” said Rainbow as she faced the creature and spread her wings wide “Only one way!” Rainbow and the creature vanish within seconds as gust of wind blown around the area. Scoot finally opened the door and hugged her mother, who finally recovered from the drain effect. Jim recovered as well and crawled over to them. Scoot and her parents looked up and could see the clouds were blown away and a bright rainbow light was shooting higher and higher. Within the sky, Rainbow had hold of the creature and was pushing everything she got. The creature was fighting back but she didn’t care, she kept going and going. Until the cone started to form around them. “Enjoy this! My most powerful move!” shouted Rainbow as the cone started to get thinner and thinner, until she broke the barrier “SONIC RAINBOOM!” In a bright flash, a beautiful rainbow shock wave blasted across the orange sky, blasting away all the clouds and leaving behind nothing but a rainbow halo. In the middle of the halo, Rainbow was soaring more up in the sky as she left behind a rainbow trail. The creature clearly took some damage from the blast as its body was torn and rip but still holding together. “How you like that?” said Rainbow in a cocky tone Rainbow face was grabbed by the creature hand and place its face near her and spoke “My turn.” The creature opened its wings and a dark rainbow halo formed around them. With one flap of its wings, the creature created its own sonic rainbow but a darker version of it. As they passed through the sonic rainbow halo, a second dark sonic rainboom blasted out and scatter the colorful rainbow halo. The once colorful sky, was now grey and dark. The shooting dark rainbow light, quickly returned to earth and landed near the house, as Dash and the others took cover as the storm of dirt and rock was sent flying around them. As the dirt settled, Dash and the others could see the creature still having its hand on Rainbow head, were in a crater, as Rainbow wings were gone and she was back to normal but her body was covered in wounds and her outfit ripped apart. “Maybe mother was wrong?” spoke the creature as it let go of Rainbow and place its foot on her chest and slowly put its force on it, making Rainbow screamed with pain. “She needs help!” yelled Dash as she tried to stand but quickly fell back down. “We’re in no shape to save her…” whispered Jim as he looked away. Scoot let go of her mother and ran towards the crater, as her parents tried to stop her but she didn’t stop. Scoots slide down the crater and jumped on the creature leg and cried out to stop. The creature stopped and picked up the little girl by her shirt. “Please stop! Don’t hurt her anymore!” “,,,annoying still…” said the creature as it was about to crush Scoots head but stopped and felt something wrong. It looked up into the sky and could hear screaming. It was a woman voice but she was in pain “MOTHER!” The creature started to faded away. Dash and Jim slide down the crater and watched in horror as their daughter faded away with the creature. “NO! GIVE HER BACK!” screamed Dash as she ran with little strength she had left. She reached out with her arm as she tried to grab her daughter hand but she was too late. They were gone. “NO!” Rainbow, who was still awake but in great pain, slowly rose from the ground and tried to say something but passed out as everything went black for her. “What the hell happened here?” Rainbow could hear a voice as she opened her eyes. She could tell she was in a jeep, it looked very familiar as she sat up. “Why is there two of you?” said Spitfire as she turned to Rainbow and noticed she was awake “Speak of the devil. Yo you alright...Dash? Clone Dash? Okay, who is she anyway?” Gilda, along with Dash wing mates, walked out of the crater and joined Spitfire and Jim. She noticed Rainbow was up and angry ran over and grabbed her by her torn red jacket. “Where the fuck is she!? Where did thing took her!?” demand Gilda “I have no idea!” replied Rainbow “Bullshit!” yelled Gilda as she pulled Rainbow out of her jeep and tossed her on the ground but Spitfire and the others stopped her from doing anything else by holding her back “GET OFF OF ME! SHE KNOWS SOMETHING!” “Jesus, cool it already, she doesn’t know shit!” yelled Spit as her and others pulled her to the other side of the jeep “Stay here and cool off, okay?” “Fuck you Sarah, why aren’t you worried about Sophia!?” “I am worried as fuck but I’m not letting my emotions get in the way here. Fighting with Dash number 2 isn’t helping anyone.” Said Spitfire in a calm tone. Rainbow toned out the fighting as she stared down the crater and could see her other self just sitting there as her parents, who were fine but banged up, were walking away from her and passing Rainbow but stopped and knee next to her. “How are you okay...sweetie?” said Wendy as she put her hand on Rainbow shoulder. “Been better…” trailed off Rainbow as she felt weird calling her mom or even by her mom real name. “Good to hear then sport!” smiled Bow as he rubbed Rainbow head but was stopped as she pushed his hand away. Bow sighed and rose up with his wife “Even if your not “our” daughter, you are still family in “our” eyes. What happened here, don’t blame yourself, okay? She doesn’t blame you. Talk to her.” Rainbow was finally left alone and after few seconds of thinking it over, she slid down the edge and slowly walked over to her other self. She just sat there, just clinging to her fist. “Hey…” softly said Rainbow as she waited for her other self to say something but she didn’t, so Rainbow kept talking “I’m sorry what happened. My friend told me about that thing as it attacked me. If I knew sooner, I would had left before it came after me.” explained Rainbow as she got closer to her “I’m sure Twilight knows how to get your daughter back. She’s the biggest egghead around, heck, there’s two of her now. I promise we'll get her back!” “I'm coming with you.” quickly said Dash as she stood up and faced Rainbow “What?” “You heard me, I’m going with you. Sophia my daughter. What kind of mother let’s someone else get their child back?” explained Dash as she smirk and crossed her arms "Even if that someone is yourself." “You sure about this? I’m not even sure Twilight really kno-” Rainbow stopped talking as a bright blinding light flashed behind the two. “What now?” cursed Rainbow as she shielded her eyes. “Bastard came back! Where’s my daughter!?” yelled Dash as she ran at the light but a lion paw came out of it and flick her nose. “I might be a bastard son but that’s so rude of you, Diana!” said a male voice, which made both Dashes be shock as they knew that voice. “Discord!?” “John!?” said both Dashes at the same time as the light faded away to reveal a tall man, with weird horns, white short hair, body made of different animals parts and wearing a fancy tan suit, as he bowed to them. “John? What the hell happened to you?” said Dash as she fist bump him “In fact, how are you here? Where’s Florina!?” questioned Dash as she poked John lion hand. “John? What’s going on here, Discord?” asked Rainbow as she walked over “Sorry but I’m not your Discord Ms Rainbow Dash.” said John as he snapped his fingers and undid the wounds on her and other self body and replaced Rainbow clothes with a blue jacket with her cutie mark on the back, changing her sweat pants to jeans “Much better. I see you met “them”, as I can see the damage they made…” “Whoa! Wait, you can do magic!?” asked Dash but John didn’t answer as he snapped his fingers again and fixed everything, like nothing happened. Everyone was shock to see everything back to normal and noticed John and his new form, as they asked him what happened to him. “Short version, I’m a god of chaos. I had many, many names over the ages, like Loki and even though I love seeing chaos, something happened to this universe bell.” explained John as he created a mini crystal bell “It’s been scatter as someone rang it…” John opened his other hand and showed another bell “...and rang another bell at the same time.” “That’s not good...right?” said Rainbow in a worry look “You bet it is, my little pony friend. It’s why you and your friends are here. The blast of the scatter bell sent you here and...wait, this is the long version.” laugh John as he crush both bells and dust his palms off “I’ll explain more when we get everyone together. We don-” John was cut off as Dash grabbed her friend by his collar and brought him to her eye level. “You have magic right!? You can snap your fingers and get my daughter back!” happily she said but John slid out of his suit jacket and was just floating there as he turned to his friends. “Something happened to mini orange?” After being told what happened, John placed his hand on his dear friend shoulder and explained his magic can’t get her daughter back, as she’s not in this realm. “We’ll get her back, don’t worry. We just need to get the others.” “Others?” said Rainbow as her ears pop up “You mean you know where m-” “That’s right, Fluttershy already met her other self, it was days after your Twilight landed. It seems the blast sent you all in different point of time. AJ landed two days ago and Pinkie was two weeks ago…seems Rarity hasn’t landed yet? hmmm..." explained John as he stroke his white beard “Anyway, I love to stay and catch up but we have to get going!” Everyone watched as John summoned the car from back to the future and opened it as his clothes changed to the Doc outfit. “Get in you two! We don’t have time to waste!” “You want me to get in too?” asked Dash as she pointed to herself “I mean, I was coming anyway but still, why?” “NO TIME TO EXPLAIN!” yelled John as he honk the horn and watched as Rainbow get in. Dash sighed and turned to her friends and family. Jim walked over and grabbed her hands and smiled. “Be careful Blue Skies…” said Jim as he kissed his wife “Get our baby girl back.” “I will. Be back before you know it!” grin Dash as she slowly let go and hurry over to the car and before she got in, she waved to everyone and finally step in. Everyone watched as the car started up but engine stall out. John kept trying as he turned the key but nothing happened. This went on for a few minutes. “...So we did had time.” angry whispered Dash as she glared at John, who was feeling the cold daggers. “...maybe…” whispered back John as kept turning the key, until it finally turned the car on and the car took off down the road and vanished in a bright light, as it left behind a trail of fire. Everyone was waving until Gilda screamed about how no one is freak out about this. “I think the shock hasn’t took effect yet, I guess?” laughed Spitfire as she sat on the grass of the yard “Like wow, John is a god, there’s another Diana, there’s real monsters, magic is real and that sonic boom…” Spitfire looked up and the night sky was clear now “We was heading back here after meeting Gilda and after she explained what happened to Diana, it didn’t make sense at all but now? ...what?” Spitfire stopped as she could see a crack in the sky and a purple light was heading towards them. Spitfire pointed to the sky and everyone watched as the falling purple light crashed in front of them. Everyone carefully rushed towards the small crater and Jim eyes went wide as he noticed his naked daughter in it, as she was knock out. He quickly picked her up in his arm and Spitfire covered her with her bomber jacket. Jim started to cry as his daughter was now safe. He sat down and held her tight as remembered holding her like this when she was born. Having her mother hair and having his side of his family skin color, as his mom had orange skin. “Thank god, she’s back!” cried Jim as he looked up to everyone but suddenly felt something wet and warm on his arm. He removed one arm to see it was blood. He slowly raised her up and noticed a large cut across her back “WE NEED TO GET HER TO A HOSPITAL!” yelled Jim as he quickly ran towards Gilda jeep and set her down carefully and put presser on the wound to stop the bleeding. As Gilda got in and started up the jeep, Jim could hear his daughter saying something and quickly realized it happened again as he noticed his daughter hair was missing the rainbow tips. “Applebloom…where is she?” weakly said Scootaloo as she passed out. End of ch7 //-------------------------------------------------------// Ch8 Learning about my other self //-------------------------------------------------------// Ch8 Learning about my other self “Welcome to the family, dear!” smiled a young lady who was covered in darkness as she shook a purple hand. “Thanks for giving me a chance!” smiled the short purple young teenager, who had spiky punk green hair and wearing old and beat up black suit. “It’s nothing dear! Everyone deserves a chance. Even with your…” the lady stop talking as she held a paper up and watched as it unfolded and revealing a long list “...rap sheet, you earn a chance. It’s not easy for everyone today. With jobs paying less and all that, Mr. Smith. You can start when you move in. Sweetie will be happy to have a butler.” The boy stood up and bowed to her as he put his hat back on “Thank you again and please, call me Spike. My friends call me that!” “Spike?” whispered Fluttershy as she stepped into view and watched as time passed, fast forwarding to Spike wearing a butler uniform and doing cleaning around the house and other stuff, until time stopped in a certain event. She watched as Spike picked up a small metal object and placed it near his ear and quickly went pale as he mutter something and dashed out the door and into a metal objected and drove off into the busy street. Fluttershy could hear ringing as her chest started to hurt. With each beat of her heart, she could hear crying. She grabbed her chest and could feel something warm on her hoof. She slowly pulled back and could see blood and a stabbed wound in her chest. She screamed as the darkness filled the world. “AAAAAAHHHHHHH!” screamed Fluttershy as she rose up and covered in sweat. She looked at her chest and was shock to see her new body. It was different now. She has large breast and somewhat chubby body as she removed her blanket. She was confused by her new body as she felt it and testing out her new hands and wondering where her wings went “Where am I? Girls!?” called out Fluttershy as she realized she was in a tent. Shy crawled out and found herself in the woods and a camp fire was burning as another tent was set up near it. She raised up and walked over to the other tent and found it empty. She looked around and found no one else here, so she walked over to the camp fire and sat in front of it and just waited but unknown to her, someone was watching from behind a tree. The figured slowly made its way over to Shy and slowly reached out and tap her shoulder. “AAAAAHHHHHHH!” yelled Shy as she jumped into the air from fear and the figure did the same but didn’t yelled. “…!” Both ran towards each tent and hid inside. Shy was under the blanket and slowly peek out of the tent and could see the other tent shaking with fear, this made Shy removed her blanket and walk back outside. “...hello?” whispered Shy as she slowly walked to the tent “Are you prepares the one who saved me?” The tent stopped shaking as it heard Shy kind voice and a pair of yellow hands came out and started to move around, like it was a signal, which confused Shy as she watched the hand movements. “Errr. I’m sorry but I don’t understand? Is this some kind of hello?” asked Shy as she tried to mimic the hand movements The hands stopped moving and returned back into the tent and soon, two light blue eyes appeared as the tent opened a bit and looked at her in amazement. “Oh my, you have beautiful eyes! I have the same eye colors too!” smiled Shy as she pointed at her own blue eyes. The person eyes blinked a few times before disappearing back into the tent. Shy could only sigh as she tapped on the tent hatch but was taken off guard as it opened and crawling out, was… “Me!?” whispered Shy as her other self stood up and smiled. Shy could see her other self was wearing a yellow rain coat and blue outdoor pants. “…” Shy watched as her copy did the hand movements again but quickly stopped as she realized it wasn’t helping and started to think before she lid up with joy as she had a idea, she returned to the tent and came back with a note pad and wrote something down and showed it off. “Hi! My name is Florina. Before we talk, can I ask you get dress in these?” wrote Florina as she picked up a bag and handed it to Fluttershy. Shy took the bag and did what she was told and was wearing a green sweater and a long brown skirt. With that done, Florina wrote another message and Shy spoke it out loud. “It looks good on you...I haven’t catch your name miss?” Shy gasp in her rudeness and gave her name. Florina greeted back and wrote on “That’s a nice name Ms. Shy. Now, you are wondering why you are talking to your self here but from what John as had told me so far before disappearing, you are from another universe and was blasted towards me and he caught you from the sky. To me, this is very weird but hanging around John, this is another Monday.” Florina sat down near the camp fire and patted the floor near her to signal for Fluttershy to sit down with her, which she did. She watched as Fluttershy was trying to understand everything. “So, this is another world? It explains why I look like this.” “John told me because whatever you looked like in your world, can’t pass over into another world. Our universe can’t handle it.” “Is that so...if you don’t mind but who is John?’ asked Shy as she watched Florina toss some sticks into the fire. “John is my…” she stopped writing as she turned bright red, she soon started to write again “My soon to be husband. He’s a funny but weird guy. Of course, he’s a god or something like that. He said he’s been through this before with world hoppers. He’s away right now, no idea where or when he'll comes back. Sorry you couldn’t meet him.” “It’s okay, I understand, I have a great friend who’s like that as well. Always doing something in his random way.” giggled Shy “Looks like we can relate to something other than being the same person, huh?” wrote Florina as she gave Shy a smile and kept on writing “Is there any questions you want answered?.” “What is this world called?” “Well, my planet is called Earth and we’re in the United States.” “Why are you writing than saying it...if it’s okay to ask?” “It’s fine. I can’t speak, ever since I was born, I couldn’t talk at all. My parents didn’t like that and hated me for it.” Florina lowered the notepad and stared off into the campfire… A young Florina was playing with her dolls in the living as her mother, having raspberry color hair and wearing a factory uniform as she just picked up her daughter from school and was going to her job, was smoking outside. Her mother gave some quick glares at her before she noticed her husband drove into the driveway in his truck. Florina watched as her mother put out the cigarette and quickly walked pass her fat bald husband, who was a bit drunk as he stepped out. “Where’s dinner you whore?” “Fuck you.” yelled the mother as she entered the truck and drove off, leaving her husband cursing at her before heading inside and stopping in front of his daughter, who smiled. “Not gonna say hello to your father?” Florina started to take out her little note pad but she was slapped across the face by her father, who looked at her in anger. “Bitch, stop pretending you can’t speak already!” yelled her father as he hit her again “GET OUT OF HERE AND BUY ME SOME DINNER!” he ordered as he toss money at her feet and headed to the living room and turned on the TV. Florina shed some tears as she held her cheek and grabbing the cash in her other hand. Before she left, she left a note for father, saying she was sorry. Fluttershy started to cry after hearing that story and hugged Florina. “I’m so sorry! What heartless parents! Treating you like that!” said Shy as she kept hugging her but was softly push away as Florina wiped Shy tears and writing another thing in her pad. “Thank you but even with parents being heartless like that, one day, I found....” Florina, being nine years old, was walking home after being some frozen dinner from the gas station and wearing a yellow hoody, to hide her black eye. She stopped near the park and noticed a small white baby bunny as it limp quickly pass her and into the park. She noticed it was hurt and quickly followed it. After a long chase, she finally corner the baby rabbit near a large tree and slowly knee down and opened one of the frozen meals and dropped a frozen carrot slice on the ground. The baby rabbit slowly limp its way to the food and started to eat it. Florina waited as it was done and reached out with her hand and watched as the rabbit smelled her hand and warmly rubbed its face on it. She smiled as the rabbit trusted her and even hop into her lap and curled up and rested. Florina scooped up the rabbit and placed it inside her hoody front pocket and was about to leave when she could hear voices not to far away. (Wait, is this how you met Angel?) (Yes. She was the cutest bunny I could ever ask for.) (...Your Angel is a girl? My is a boy.) (Is your Angel grown?) (Yes, he’s quite a handful sometimes. What about yours?) (Let me finish my story first, okay?) She slowly peek behind the tree and could see two kids running around an open field dirt track. The boy was falling behind as the rainbow haired girl was far ahead and turned her whole around and was running backwards as she spoke to the boy to hurry up. Florina kept watching as she enjoyed the race. She hid behind the tree a bit and watched until it started to get dark. Both kids got their things and was about to leave when the rabbit poked its head out of the hoody pocket and jumped out and limp its way over to the kids, who took notice and bet down to it but it slowly backed away and lead them over to Florina, who tried her best to hide even more but the rainbow hair girl noticed her and called out to her. “Yo, is this your pet rabbit? Poor lil dude is hurt.” said the girl as she pointed at the hurt leg. Florina slowly stepped out from behind the tree and carefully grabbed the bunny and tried to not make eye contact with the girl and boy but the girl walked over and tried to get good look at her but Florina used her hoody and long bangs to hide her face. “I...i think I seen you before? Don’t you live down the street from my house?” questioned the girl as she finally backed away “This dork here is called Jim.” grin the girl as she pointed over to Jim, who sighed and waved at Florina “and my name is Diana! But please call me Dash!” smiled Dash as she took out her hand and waited it to be shaken by Florina. (Wait, Dash!? Rainbow Dash!?) (From your reaction, you have a “Dash” too?) (Yes, we’re childhood friends!) (I see. What about Jim?) (No, sorry. I never met a “Jim”.) (Really? Well, they were my first friends ever. We met at the park everyday and became close. They were there for me, from the good and the bad.) A year after meeting Dash and Jim, Florina, grabbing some carrots from the left over frozen meals, headed up to her room as her father was sleeping in his lazy boy chair, but unknown to her, he opened one eye and watched as her. Florina stepped inside her room and looked around, before her room were mostly empty but now? It was filled with stuff that her friends got her like posters, plants, even photos of themselves. It was filled with life. She walked over and on the floor was a wooden little house. She set the carrots down and hopping out, was Angel, as she sniffed out the meal and started to eat. Florina smiled as she watched her, as Angel grew up and wasn’t a baby no more. She was big and strong, even acts like a queen sometimes, asking for more food or petting time. She petted her on her head and Angel stopped eating and smiled as she felt the warm hand on her head. “Playing with that damn dirty rat again I see?” said Florina father in a cold tone from the doorway Florina quickly turned around and her heart was racing as her anxiety sky rockets as she saw her father standing there, with a beer bottle in hand. He took another ship and drunkenly walked over and glared at her. “If your mother was still around, she would killed that damn thing! Bitch left me because of you!” yelled the father as he smack Florina across the face “Stupid bitch! Say something!? Say it was your damn fault!” Angel, who ran back to her little house, came running back out and jumped onto Florina father hand and bit down, causing the man to scream in pain and dropping the bottle onto the floor. He grabbed the rabbit by its ears and turned to his daughter, who was frozen in fear, and took out a pocket knife. “Damn rat! I should had done this sooner!” angry yelled the man as brought the knife close to the rabbit neck but stopped and glared at his daughter, who was crying. He smiled as he spoke “Admit it to me, right here and right now. Say it and I’ll let this rat live. I know you can speak, you stupid bitch.” Florina snapped out of her frozen fear and quickly crawled over to her father and begged not to kill Angel as she grabbed his shirt but her father backed hand her and ordered her to speak as place the blade at the rabbit neck harder, that blood started to ooze out a bit. She tried to say something, anything but her nothing came out of her mouth. Her eyes started to tear up as she tried her hardness. “Even now, you won’t speak?” sadly said her father as he looked at her “Dumb bitch.” Florina helplessly watched as her father not only slit Angel throat but kept cutting and until Angel bloody lifeless body hit the floor. She just sat there as she looked at the headless body. “Make a good luck charm, dumb bitch.” laughed her father as he threw Angel head at her knees and walked back down stairs. Florina slowly grabbed Angel remains and softy cried as she held dear pet. She wanted to say sorry, she wanted to talk...scream out loud!...but nothing came out… “Angel!? No!” cried Fluttershy after reading Florina story. She hugged her tightly and continued to cry “How could your father do that?” Florina shed some tears as she let Fluttershy held her. After a few minutes, Fluttershy was back in her camping chair and waited as her different version was writing on her pad again and finally showed it to her… It was night time, as Florina walked down the dark sidewalk as rain fell across her body and the place around her. She wasn’t even wearing a raincoat as she walk and held the remains of Angel in a paper bag. She shield the bag from the rain as she finally stopped in front of a white house. She looked at it and was about to walk towards but stopped as she didn’t want to bother her friend. “Flutters!?” called out Dash from down the sidewalk, as she was soaked head to toe but under Jim umbrella “What’s wrong?” Her and Jim walked up to her and placed the umbrella under her. “Dash I understand, she forgets stuff as she’s training but you? What happened? Did the wind blow your umbrella away?” asked Jim as he push Dash out under of the umbrella to make room for Florina. “Hey!” angry spoke Dash as she forced her way under the umbrella but stopped as she noticed the bruise on Florina cheek and carefully touch it and grew in anger as she clutch her fist “Was it your dad again!? That asshole!” Florina didn’t look at her friends and just stood as tears started to fall down her cheek. Her friends started to get worry, as they believe her dad must had done something more worst to her. Wasn’t until Jim the bag as dark spots were forming at the bottom of it. “...shit, he didn’t?” questioned Jim as he tried to touch the bag but Florina stepped back in rejecting. Dash didn’t understand at first but she too noticed the bag and carefully stepped towards her friend and told her it be okay, she wanted to look in the bag. Florina fell to her knees and opened the bag as her friends finally saw inside. Dash eyes were burning red as she what was inside and wanted to run off and hurt Florina dad but Jim touch her shoulder, to signal at her that wasn’t the right time to do that but to help their friend. Dash snapped out of her rage and closed the bag and hugged Florina. “This is the last time! He won’t hurt you no more!” whispered Dash as she held her tight and feeling her shake from fear and sadness “I promise…” “After that, Dash got her parents involved and after some time, the CPS came and got me out of there. Dad was arrested and sent to jail for a few years and Dashie parents took me in. They treated me like a second daughter. Dash is like a sister to me.” wrote Florina. Fluttershy watched as Florina took out an old metal object and it lit up. Revealing photos of Florina and this world version of Dash, when they were teenagers. She saw photos of Dash parents, this world version Gilda and Spitfire, as the two posing with an older Dash. Soon, she could see photos of Jim, some when he was young and old. One picture had him and Dash at their wedding night, Dash pushed his face into the cake. Fluttershy felt happy for her other Dash, as she found somepony and looked so happy. Soon, photos of Dash being pregnant pop up, leaving Fluttershy blushing as she look closer. Florina noticed and wrote in her pad again. “I acted the same way when I first saw her like that. Dashie was so embarrass, that she didn’t photos taken of her after.” wrote Florina as she smiled at the photos. Soon, they came across the baby photos of Sophia and this caught Fluttershy off guard, as she noticed it was Scootaloo. “In this world, Scootaloo is Dash’s daughter?” thought Fluttershy as she didn’t say anything about the photos. After finishing, Florina asked about Fluttershy and her life. Soon, Fluttershy talked about meeting Rainbow Dash or about how Dash created the sonic rainboom, soon it was meeting her whole friends and their adventures, as the fire slowly burned out. “Where did you take me?” asked Sophia, as she noticed she was in large house but the creature ignore her and let her go and started to call out for its mother. “MOTHER!?” “I’m up stairs…” weakly said the female voice. Soon enough the creature flew up the stairs and hurry down the long hallway. Scoots got up from the floor and quickly ran to the front door and opened it. “What?” confusedly said Scoots as she witness the view in front of her. Outside was a forest with ton of pink butterflies, as they swarm across the trees and hitting the house. What’s more weird, she could see cracking across the rainbow sky. She quickly shut the door and turned around to see a tiny creature, it was just like the tall one but had super long orange hair, that it covered it eyes. “Who are you?” asked Scoots as she waved at it “Sleepy…” said the creature as it drop to the floor and started to sleep. “What?” “So, you brought this girl here?” questioned a female voice from before. Scoots looked up and saw a white skin woman, wearing a purple dress and a stupid big hat, as it covered her head, at the top of the stairs. “Forgive me, mother…” said the tall creature as it bowed behind her “It’s okay, take her to the basement. We can’t let her go back home, she can ruin everything like that orange pony tried to do.” said the lady as she grabbed her forehead in pain. “Got her good tho!” said the small creature as it woke up and hovered in the air “Won’t hurt mother again, even if she does come back!” “You did well my dear, I’m proud of you.” smiled the lady as she walked down the stairs and hugged the small creature, who fell asleep again. The tall creature quickly flew down the stairs and grabbed Scoots. Within seconds, Scoots found herself in a dark cell, with solid gray walls to the sides and behind her, also hardly any light in this cell. She ran to the bars and cried out for help but no one answered her...until she heard a young voice called out to her. “Scootaloo? Is that you? Gosh darn it, you didn’t escape after all…I was worried since Smalley went after ya, after we broke out of our cells and met with that girl upstairs...” said the young voice from the other side of the wall “Scootaloo? Mom number 2 said that too. Who are you?” asked Scoots as she tried to look into the other cell. “Wait, mom number 2? What the hey are you talking about Scootaloo?” replied the voice as she stepped into dim light. Scoots eyes went wide as she saw a light yellow small pony, with red mane and with a ribbon, standing there, who also had the same reaction as she noticed Scoots. “Huh? You aren’t my friend...but you sound just like her…wait, didn’t the other girl also sounded like...” questioned the pony as she started to realize something but was stopped as a hand appeared in front of face. “My name is Sophia! But my nickname is Scoots. What’s your name, little pony?” “The name is Applebloom. Nice to meet ya!” smiled Applebloom as shake the hand with her hoof end of ch8 //-------------------------------------------------------// Ch1. The Bell Rings //-------------------------------------------------------// Ch1. The Bell Rings It was another day in the world of Equestrua, as we find Rarity and Spike standing outside of a cave entrance. Spike slowly looked inside and turned to the unicorn in fear. “Are you sure about this Rarity?” said the baby as he looked back into the dark spooky cave “We never been here before?” Rarity smiled and petted the baby dragon head and spoke “Oh don’t worry Spike, sure it might look scary and...dirty, but it be fine! We been doing this for so long, that it be a walk in the park.” Rarity stepped forward and use her horn to light up the area in front “Besides, we ran out of gemstones in the old cave. We need to start looking for a new mining spot, as I’m getting more commissions for gem dresses” “...okay.” whispered the baby dragon as he followed the unicorn as she went further in the cave. Few hours pass by as Spike yawned as he rested on the ground as Rarity finally finish scanning the area. She turned to Spike with sadness. There was no gemstones in this area, just like the other part of the cave that they searched in. “Nothing again?” asked Spike as he pop up from the ground and dusted himself off “What now?” “I don’t know darling...maybe we shoul-” Rarity stop talking as a sudden earth quake shook the ground and walls “A EARTHQUAKE!?” “Rarity, we have to get out of here!” yelled Spike as he covered his head from the falling rocks. Rarity followed Spike as they tried to escape the cave in but Rarity was lagging behind as she was losing footing. She tried to yell out to the baby dragon but he vanish from view as she came across a fork in the tunnel. She was alone now...or so she thought. “Rarity!?” yelled Spike from the left path “Rarity!” “I’m coming Spike!” replied the unicorn as she dash down the left path. Rarity kept running down the tunnel as best as she could but the shaking was getting worst each passing second. “RARITY! YOU NEED TO STOP!” yelled Spike from deep down the path Rarity couldn’t stop, no, she shouldn’t stop. Why was Spike telling her to stop!? She kept running down the path as the wall around her started to shake and fall apart. Was this the danger that Spike yelled about? “STOP! PLEASE!” cried out Spike as his voice slowly faded away. All of a sudden, Rarity heard something. To her, it sounded like a bell was ringing...that’s when she saw it as she finally exited the tunnel. In the middle of the room, was a huge rainbow crystal that looked almost like a bell in its shape. Around the walls of the cave, Rarity could see more of the same crystals but smaller and only one color. “What beautiful crystals…” whispered Rarity as she looked around in amazement “Wait…” said the unicorn as she noticed the shaking as ended. Rarity looked back and saw she was wrong, as the tunnel that she exited out of, was still shaking and caving in. Before Rarity could question this, the crystal gave off a bright glow as a loud ringing blasted out of it and blasted Rarity into a wall. She fell onto the ground and slowly lost consciousness from the impact but before she did, she could hear another voice… “I did it, it work!” Meanwhile in ponyville and in front of the Mayor building, everypony was freaking out and wanted answers as the earthquake finally ended. Mayor Mare was trying her best to answer everypony questions, as this was ponyville first ever earthquake. Twilight and her friends were in the back of the crowd as AJ watched over her sister and her friends, as they were hopping and poking the ground. “Say Twilight, you have any clue about this, right?” questioned AJ “My best guess I can think of, is that Ponyville is near a fault line…” answered Twilight as she started scratched her. “A fault...line?” questioned Pinkie “A line can be at fault?” Twilight sighed as she started to explain that a fault line was a long crack in the surface of the ground. Earthquakes usually occur along fault lines but this ponyville first recording of it. “Could be a monster or something? Like, this won’t be the first time we had an earthquake.” said Dash as hovered above the girls. Twilight quickly debunk that theory as she remind Rainbow about how Gaia Stone, the town geophysicist, recorded the shock wave through the ground with her machine. “Whatever egghead but if IT IS related to a monster or something, you owe a free meal!” smirk Dash as she landed and jab Twilight shoulder. Before Twilight could reply, her and the girls suddenly heard Spike yelling behind them. They turned and saw him running towards them. “TWILIGHT! RARITY IS IN TROUBLE!” “Are you okay?” Rarity slowly opened her eyes and remembered were she was. She was in this cave chamber and in front of her was that huge rainbow crystal. “Good, now let’s stop this…” spoke a voice as it rang across the chamber. Rarity looked around but couldn’t find Spike anywhere, as she knew that voice belonged to him. She called out for him but nothing. She turned to the tunnel and was about to leave when something felt...off. She couldn’t explain it at all, like something was wrong, like she shouldn’t be here. “I need to get out of here!” said Rarity in a scared tone as she hurried to the tunnel but that’s when she heard the ringing again. Rarity froze with fear, she didn’t understand why she was scared but she needed to move. “NO!” yelled Rarity “What!?” stunned Rarity said as she just heard her own voice just now. Bells started to ring out again… Twilight and others just arrived to the cave as the ground started shake again but more worst than before. Twilight grabbed Spike and flew into the air and then use her magic to hover AJ and her sister in the air, while Dash and Fluttershy quickly grabbed Sweetie Belle, Pinkie and Scootaloo as the ground around them started to crack. “The ground and the cave! It’s caving in!” said Fluttershy as put Sweetie on her back “Rarity!” “Sis!” cried Sweetie as her and the others watched on as the cave slowly shallow into the ground. Before anyone could do anything, the sinkhole blasted out with great force. As the smoke settled down, the girls and Spike could see a bright glow from within the dust. They could see Rarity facing the glowing crystal. That’s when everyone suddenly felt...off. Twilight grabbed her chest as she fell into the area where Rarity is. Twilight magic faded as AJ and her sister landed on the with Twilight and Spike, they too were grabbing their chest. “T-Twilight…!” yelled Dash as she crashed along with Shy into the hole “What’s going on? What’s this pain!?” Twilight looked up and could see the crystal. She could hear ringing coming from it. Was this the cause of the pain? Twilight suddenly had flashes. A place she never seen before. It looked like apartment building. She turned to the others as AJ yelled out about seeing a farm she never saw before. “A lake surround by a forest?” whispered Shy as she suddenly saw memories of said place “A flying machine!?” said Dash as she grabbed her head as memories filled her mind “...graves!?” screamed Pinkie as her hair went flat “The bell rings out at long last!” yelled Rarity as Twilight quickly turned back to her...but it wasn’t Rarity speaking as Rarity was staring at her. “Twilight, my body is moving on it’s own!” cried out Rarity “I don’t know why but I shouldn’t touch that crystal!” Twilight tried to stand but more flashes filled her mind. Somepony life she never saw before. It was getting stronger as the bell rang out louder from the crystal. Twilight watched as Rarity slowly stood in front of the crystal and put her hoof on it. “Echoes of bells that rings out…” said Rarity as a hand burst out of the crystal “...are finding echoes of another person, another you!” said the Rarity voice as the hand grabbed Rarity horn. The whole world was frozen in time. Nothing was moving but the crystal, as it started to ring like a real bell. With each ring, there was a crack in time and space. It grew bigger and bigger, until a human figure stepped out of the crack and walked over to it’s target. “Sweetie…” With one touch, this world finally broke into shards. The bell kept ringing out as the darkness took over, that’s when the ringing finally stopped at long last... Only to be replaced by loud beeping noise…? “S-SHUT UP!” yelled the female voice as she slowly got up. She could feel something cold and metal under her butt and hands “What?” Her vision finally returned and she could see the stars of the night sky above her. She tried to summon a spell to see where she was as it, as it was too dark but couldn’t. Her head was hurting, maybe that’s why she couldn’t use her magic? She grabbed her forehead but quickly snapped out of it. “WHERE’S MY HORN!?!?” screamed Twilight as she couldn’t find her horn “WAIT! WHERE’S MY WINGS AND WHY DO I HAVE FINGERS!?” questioned Twilight as she looked her new pair of non hooves. “MY HOOD OF MY CAR!” yelled out a male voice “WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO, YOU NAKED BITCH!?” Twilight was blinded by a bright light and that’s when she could finally see that was sitting on a...metal kart? But she finally got a good view of her body. She still had her purple skin but her body was monkey like shape, she even had small breast almost like a cow, least her feet was still the same. “WHAT’S GOING ON!?” end of ch1 Author's Note like i said, english isn't my first language but i hope i wrote this well enough. will update later as its early in the mornig right now update: Got this idea from Sonic prime take on the multiverse.
