Spike finds the unknown

Spike and Pinkie Pie where running for hours from the huge tatsumi sized wave of Pinkie Pie clones chased after them like hungry dogs or cats after their flesh. The bodies of the hundreds of Pinkie Pies seemed to be morphed and twisted into that of wild animals fused with exco skeleton flesh and glowing eyes of revenge. As the running goes on you can hear the breaking of glass and the place seems to warp as Spike trips and Pinkie Pie tries to catch him and failed as they fall into the water like floor and seem to be transport to some random part of the Mirror Pond Realm.

Spike and Pinkie Look around as they don't see or hear the swarm of clones anywhere as the sounds of breaking glass also seems to stop. They did see although and are ready to fight two alone Pinkie Clones. One of the Clones seems to have it's hair decayed from Pink to a green-ish gray while her eyes are no longer blue but a faded pink with her face seemly darkened from it's original color. While the second one seemed to have lost of it's hair as now it's a burned out Yellow with pink stripes remain in random places. Her eyes were a dark red while her skin seemed to have turned more a pink-ish purple. The Clones clothes were broken and torn although covering the body it made them seem like they have never been able to clean themselves for years.

The two clones then look at each other than at them and then hug one another as they back away. Spike and Pinkie see this and are confused. "hey other me's? what even is the word for this other than clones? Oh forget it... Look I am well the Original Pinkie Pie and I was wondering... WHYAREYOUNOTTRYINGTOEATUS!"

"Why would we eat you? you are us techicalicly speaking?" As the green-ish gray hair Pinkie spoke mispronouncing technically and continues, "Plus I think that is a crime back home? Anyway I am not mad at you like the others. Not sure why she stayed behind although."

Looking at the other clone who she was holding onto wanting to know her thoughts and The second clone looks at Spike and Pinkie Pie, "I was one of the first clones... I saw how everyone was reacting to well us and I questioned for a bit why they didn't seem to have fun with us. Then when I was sent back here. I felt the void of only see all the other Pinkies... This place where we were created from. It has driven them insane. Sense they only saw other Pinkie Pies and at the beginning we all had mostly the same mind set. It was like looking into a mirror forever and each grew their own ideas and thoughts and realized we were put in prison here... Slowly during... how long as it been?"

"... You guys have been trapped here for 5 years." Spike explains with a sad face. What else could he feel but pain for these poor Pinkies.

The Second Clone then continued, "Oh wow, that explains a bit... Don't worry the Mirror Pond seems to have a rule here that nothing can stave here. We were never hungry during our time here. Miss Pinkie... I just want to say that I am so sorry for the pain and hurt we gave your friends when we were causing chaos back home."

"WHAT NO NO NO NO! You... you guys are not at fault... You were like freshly born kids!? of course your going to do stupid things!? You hardly could understand the world or social cues and things that take years of life experience to even understand depending on per person but that is beside the point!... You are not at fault... If anything, I am.." Pinkie Pie lost it the moment the clone blame herself. Pinkie Pie always wanted to know what happens with the Mirror Pond copies but this was not what she was expecting. She was hoping that they were taken to a land of fun and joy where they could enjoy a life. Not this prison... Pinkie Pie then slowly starts to break down. What else would happen for she had created life at a young age and now are all suffering and have gone insane because of her foolish actions.

Pinkie Pie was on the ground crying, her hair deflates like a balloon and she seems to be unable to look at anyone. Spike then lifts her onto her knees and hugs her, "Pinkie... You were a kid back then too you know. Everyone makes mistakes, no one understand that better than Twilight, AppleJack, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Rarity and especially all your friends. We all know what it is like to blame ourselves for mistakes. But that is what makes life so amazing. If everyone was prefect sense the moment they were born. Then what would be the point to life in the first place? You can fix some of this mess. Sure from what I saw most of those clones seem beyond safely saving from this place, but..."

Spike and Pinkie Pie look at the clones. The clones look back and forth confused on what they mean. Spike and Pinkie Smile at each other knowing the plan. Hopefully they can get out and be safe. Those other clones seem to have lost all sense of reason. They were filled with darkness and hatred. These two although seem at least one thing they can do good while they escape when it comes to correcting some of the many mistakes involving this cursed pond.

"AHAHAH.. You know Spike you should give yourself more credit as one of my top friends... As I remember for a fact sense I tried to save your life like your dragon code said when you went to help Applejack after she saved your life." Pinkie Pie begins to tease as she dries up her tears. Spike the counters, "I KNOW FOR A FACT NOW THAT I WAS BEING SILLY ALRIGHT! I never used a fire wood stove! Magic stoves are so much easier to use! I am actually good at cleaning but the older equipment was so weird to use! I was trying to keep myself calm and seem like I was not being an fool when I was using strange old cleaning and chore items! How was I suppose to know that the fire wood stove would have cooked as fast as it did with how much wood I put in!"

Spike and Pinkie Pie as Spike continues to rant about old and stupid designed stoves and old farming equipment. They wave for the clones to follow. Confused and wondering what they mean. The two clones didn't leave their spot and looked on at them. Pinkie then turn to the two smiling, "COME ON YOU TWO WE ARE GETTING YOU GUYS AND OURSLELVES OUT OF THIS PLACE!"

The aura of joy coming from Pinkie to the two clone seemed to have shocked them. They have not felt such kindness neither hope in years. They only had experience this back when they felt this back when they were first created. Back when the joy of hoping to having fun was others was given as their reason to exist back home. When it first happened with the Clones while with the Original Pinkie Pie. They couldn't help but feel joy and wanting give that same joyful feeling to others. They hadn't felt such hope in years that they couldn't help but run up to her. Pinkie Pie was confused at first as the ran up to her, but when she saw what she did when the two clones were crying like that has just returned home. She understood.

The clones hugged onto Pinkie Pie crying out so many tears. They haven't been able to feel such happiness in years. The fact was now that they are able to feel this again. It was the greatest feeling they had in years. Spike could see it as they hugged. These Pinkie clones. Although the sadly only ones to retain their sanity. Have just needed a mothers love.

"You know Pinkie with these two kids, your going to be a great mother when we get back home." Spike teased Pinkie Pie as she blushes looking at him as the clones while crying hearing his words look confused although for some reason felt embarrassed. Wait what does that word even mean? Pinkie Pie then calls him out, "Oh really Spike... We were having a heart felt MOMENT! Besides they are about my age... well psychically, but mentally probably about five year old's then. Really traumatized five year old's... Well no time like the present to fix my mistake right? Anyway now your their Uncle Spike. So help me take care of the kids will you."

With that devil like smile from Pinkie Pie. Spike blushed, "Well you will have to talk about that with Twilight missy. Besides I don't think these two would fine me that interesting as they are your offspring."

"Why is Spike our Uncle? What is an Uncle? Also what is a mother?" the first clone asked confused unsure of what's happening as they continue to walk as the floor moves like water below them. Spike explains, "Well an Uncle is a family member or relative or even are rare moments a close friend seen as family. That is a brother to one of your parents like Pinkie here who would be considering your mother sense she help bring life to you and all your clone siblings? I guess that also makes the Mirror Pond your dad or father in a sense... Strange."

"But I was made by one of the other Pinkie clones? Doesn't that make her something else?" The first clone once gain points out. Pinkie speaks, "OK no no no no no no… I have been saying no a lot lately haven't I? anyway I don't want us to go into the idea that I am already a grandmother, plus won't the Mirror Pond then get into legal trouble for multiple different laws that I don't want to say in front the two clones that are basically children."

Spike looks at her then at the clones. Starts laughing for a bit leaving the others confused, "Yeah I get what you mean Pinkie. But the Mirror Pond although the father to them both. Is an object like the idea of a cloning machine that Twilight after this event 5 years ago decided against ever having it made. It can't be punished by law for it has no sense of self last I check and is not a living thing. A dangerous magical place. one hundred percent. But the law can't do anything about it in those legal terms. Unless during this trip we somehow find out the Mirror Pond is alive then yeah we could do that then. I think with what happened maybe about 7 to 10 different laws the Mirror Pond would have broke that are high punishment level crimes."

"My head is hurting from all the Big words Uncle Spike please stop." the second clone requested as she was now holding her head as most of the terms seemed to fly over her head. Pinkie Pie just laughs as she smiles looking at them and then gasps, "WE haven't given you guys name?! we can't just call you guys Pinkie Pie clone one and Pinkie Pie clone two... you guys seem to be your own people now and well need some real names. Spike any idea?"

Spike look at her and then at the clones, "I am not a parent in this situation dear lady Pie so I must insist you name your own kids."

"But you know I SUCK AT NAMING! I learned to understand that part of my life that I do overly long titles and naming for events. I would suck with kid names." Pinkie Pie begs Spike.

Spike signs and looks over at the two clones. The one with some it's lost hair as now it's a burned out Yellow with pink stripes remain in random places with eyes of dark red while her skin pink-ish purple had an interesting feeling to her looks and what her actions and emotions said about her. The green-ish gray hair and her eyes are no longer blue but a faded pink with her skin dark pink. Her emotions seems to be at peace and hope now and Spike could sense although the Mirror Pond did indeed copy of gift of Pinkie into these clones. He could tell these Clones now after living here for so long have lost Pinkies gift and can gain ones of their own. "well I think you with your aura of peace and hope. Your name could be a nice Aurora Borlis Pie. While you feel you are filled with so much wonder and mystery. Your name can be Diamonmia Pie."

"WE LOVE OUR NAMES UNCLE SPIKE!" They both jumped up and dived in hugged Spike. The joy felt felt in that moment as the clones now had names of their own. No longer just seen as mere copies of an original. Seemed to fill them with much life. As the glow? Wait they are actually now starting to glow. Soon as the glowing stopped. The two Pie children. Where now in actually five year old bodies. Aurora Borlis Pie gained a hair color of the aurora borealis itself while her skin was now a light gray pink with eye color of pure blue like Pinkie Pies. Aurora's hair seemed to be straight and flowing like the ocean her clothes now changed into some nice set of pjs of the night sky with a blue dragon on the back. Diamonmia Pie seemed to keep a Pink skin but with a wonderful bright red hair color and eyes that were green as emeralds. She was also in pjs that had treasure and pirates on it with gems covering the top of the ship in the open see with a set of party balloons on the back of the ship.

Pinkie Pie looks at the kids in awe. She carefully picks up Aurora as she seems to yawn as it seems like the pjs were given for a reason. Spike helps Pinkie get Diamonmia into the other side hand for Pinkie to carry both kids. As Spike whispered, "What just happened?"

"I honestly don't care how it happened, but now I am a mother of two kids and we are getting of out of this place." Pinkie makes it clear. Spike smiles nodding his head. Now with the kids in hand they travel around looking for clues in the reflections of light on where the exit could be. As they traveled they hear the sound of a cracking scream like a beast made of glass shattering to pieces come from all around them. It was similar to the breaking sounds while the Pinkie clone wave was chasing them down. The two kids had awoken from the sound and both were shacking from the sound as if they had heard it before.

Spike seeing this needed info and fast sense whatever caused that could be a threat to their safety. "Kids what made that sound. Please."

"Ah... Uncle Spike that sound.... It came from the... The..." Aurora tries to speak out the name, but couldn't before Diamonmia finished for her, "The Shatter Mirror Beast... It is a creature made out of pure glass that has eyes that glow the darkest red I have ever seen. That monster eats failure creations of the Mirror Pond that are sent back to it every now and then. Don't know how often but it's not common, but not rare for it to happen."

"How have you guys lived this long? The Mirror Pond is rarely used and/or known to exist and was sealed away for 5 years. No one could have made things that would have made that to busy to get you guys." Spike asks wanting to know more.

Aurora seemed confused and speaks, "What do you mean? just last week we saw a clone returned of donut joe."

"WHAT!" Spike and Pinkie Pie yell confused.

Diamonmia speaks, "yeah he said that Donut joe after lost his company to you Spike that he made a copy to attack and to get ride of Spike, but when that happened Twilight found out and banished the clone back."

Spike and Pinkie were confused. Spike had done no idea what they were talking about. Donut joe and Spike had a respect and understanding and have no problems with each other. In fact Spike helped Donut Joe's company be a huge hit and he is given some of the stock and makes some good money from that sock he owns of Donut Joe's company. Spike then had it click.

"Pinkie... The Mirror Pond is not only connected to our world. This place is connected to everyone different universe of our worlds. Every copy every different choice, every event that changes and makes a new world of our home. The Mirror Pond is connected to them all." Spike explains what he pieced together and Pinkie Pie bounce some ideas right back, "Not only do we have a chance to get out, but this could have been how the invader of our world had gotten into our world!"

Spike nods his head," Could be, but with our understanding of this and how little is known of this idea, who would have the knowledge to pull that off? Plus couldn't the chance be that these aren't even our Pinkie Pie clones? How many times could it happen? How many Pinkie Pie clones could really exist here?"

"Actually, funny thing... Some strange dragon guy said that where you first appear in the Mirror Pond is where the universe of your origin is. We never left the area we got left in." Diamonmia clarify and Aurora laughs, "wow Sis you remembered that? I forgot that detail... Plus that's how we have seen so many different clones come and go looking for a way out I lost track of how many Spikes, Twilights, Starlights and many other clones I have seen."

"Girls thank you so much for sharing this... Now please go back to sleep you haven't gotten your full rest yet and momma and Uncle need to talk." Pinkie tells the girls as they nod off back to sleep trusting Pinkie Pie.

Spike just smirks, then Pinkie Pie gives him a little kick. As spike looks around and takes notes. He sees as he travels along forward with Pinkie that the water below changes in ideals like color, wave count, speed and patterns. This most have been a clue as to the area changes for different worlds. He signaled for Pinkie to follow him going right now which he guesses could be east, but with how this place is. He don't think a compress or anything like that would work in a realm of the Mirror Pond.

After going for a while He sees a different change along the path that he could see the changes in the water to see a third different color of water with all the details from before, "Well Pinkie we never went far enough for the water to change before from where we first started and where your kids were at. So I say this water of Green with a water flow speed of 30 miles a second and wave count of 2 every 5 seconds from my guess work. Is our world. While the Red water with flow speed of 90 miles a second and wave count of 1 every 5 seconds is a different one. Same with yellow water with flow speed 10 miles a second and wave count of 10 every 5 seconds."

"And what does that have to do with anything?" Pinkie Pie asks, and Spike explains, "Because it lets us know where we are looking for when it comes to getting out. We have to find a way within our universe border."

Pinkie Pie nodes her head as they hear a some screams. Looking up they seen a huge glass beast with six arms with one of a bear, one of a dragon, one of a wolf and others all of human hands attacking a small clone town from Spike's guess work now only seeing a town in the Mirror Pond built in the borders of the Red water universe. Pinkie Pie looks at Spike before handing him the kids, "OH no no no, Pinkie don't you dare do what I think you are going to do."

"Spike we have to do something. Didn't your fav comics always say that the heroes should help out people in need?" Pinkie smiles at him as she gets ready to run in and fight that monster.

Spike while holding the kids, "While leaving these kids without their mom? Yeah no I am making sure you get out of this alive while keeping the kids safe. Just don't do anything stupid."

"Same to you Spike, They shouldn't have to grow up without their uncle Spike." Pinkie Pie smirks as both her and Spike rush on in. The Mirror Pond sadly has no place they can leave the kids safely they feared. So they will work with what they got. They will make it out alive. What they didn't see was a Pinkie Pie Clone standing about 10 miles from them staring at them from afar while she insanely smiles, "Found you."
