Record of chaos- The Better six

Twilight looked with a tired face as she answered. "We are the mane 6, our names we will tell you later. Besides as you CAN tell WE are the ones doing the asking. If the handcuffs and rope was not any indication".

There was a pregnant pause as Stella took it all in and calmed her breath and mind, but then:

"the mane 6?... pftt, hahaha!!" Stella laughed, well... thats a way to break the ice.

"What is so funny, miss copy & paste?!" Rainbow was irked

"Chill out, "bulldagger". Its in an inside joke" Stella casually answered irked SHE was called a copy

"Bullda-... bucking what now?! whats your problem?! Rainbow did NOT like her clone at all right now.

"listen, its not my fault you have a grass mowing ass looking hair cut. You and abundance would be great friends, haha!." she said as she giggled (The "original universe rainbow unlike stella has short hair"

the mane 6 except rainbow giggled too. "hey!, come on!, its not funny guys!, i am not even-" rainbow looked at her friends

"chillax rainbow, we are not laughing at that. Its the fact that little old stella here is trying to roast your flank!, its hillarious because not only does she look and sound like you but she has your attitude and humor!, its like seeing you being insulted by yourself, ever heard of the "stop hitting yourself" joke?, basically this is it. Still its true it was wrong of us, sorry." Pinkie was being the voice of reason for once.

"but why would she even joke about that?" Rainbow was clearly bummed still, if her pout was any indiication.

"Oh i dont know... being tied by the hands and wings to a chair by strangers in a both way mirror interrogation room its not exactly a field trip. She is clearly angry at us" twilight explained

"Of course i am!!. First i was trying to seek out for my friend, Crown!. Then i pop out of nowhere in some random field with a lot of ponies and races gathered all around me and see HIM being held hostage away from me by basically some stunt double fakes of me and my friends!. What exactly did you think was gonna happen?!. Me inviting you a cup of tea?!" Stella barked them out.

"A cup of tea would have been nice..." fluttershy whispered while everypony just looked at her with a "you serious?" face.

"sorry." she whispered.

Stella and everyone in the room exhaled. "Anyway, where is he?. From what i can tell you guys are not hostile. You would not be asking me questions right now and i would have been dead otherwise" She asked.

"Where is who?" The mane 6 asked.

"Crown?" stella answered as if she was asking what colour was the sky, something implicitly obvious.

...."who?" they doubled down.

"The drake you guys kinda kidnap?. Although i admit, it makes no sense him from all ponies getting kidnapped. He pretty must IS tough incarnate." Stella was divagating.

"drake?...the only drake near us at the time was... You mean spike?" Twilight asked.

"Spike? who is tha-" .she was going to retort until she remembered something. During the battle against the soul fragmenter (see previous chapters: its the tentacle monster they fighted against") Crown during his time of Conscientiousness adaptation to the volund (wich was weird since crown he has done this hundreds of times) reacted to the name "Spike" and not "Crown".

There was a deafening silence until she continued.

"Yes. "Spike", where is he". Stella was deadset on getting close to Spike, wich the girls did not like.

"why do you say it like that?, and why do you want to get near him, you dont even know him." twilight being moma hen once again.

"Because that is. not. his. name!. If you have a minimum knowledge of recent history, wich you clearly dont!, you would now why i want to get near him!. And finally of course i know him!. he is my husband!". Stella was starting to lose her patience.

"What nonsense are you speaking?!, husband?!, history?! IT IS, his name!. I gave it to him! for all i know you are a random pony, probably a changeling that mimicked rainbow , kissed spike, did some weird magic i dont know to fuse with him and attacked us!, and finally: stop being condesending to me!". Twilight had enough.

"uhhh Twilight?" Applejack interrumped

"Not now, applejack! are you hearing this nonsense?!" Twilight was furious.

"Twilight, list-"

"No!" She turned back to stella. "Now, explain to me wha-"

"TWILIGHT!" the voice of applejack thundered the room.

"ow!" the ears of the mane 6 except aj had a rough time.

"buck applejack! what is it?" twilight toned down, her ears clearly hurting. Sucks being a pony with increased sense of hearing i guess.

"She.... is not lying". she simple stated

Everyone in the room did a double take.

"Come again, dear?" rarity asked.

"augh" aj exhaled "look i dont what is happening here, just like you guys. But i AM the element of honesty and at the very least i can tell you she is NOT lying. At least she does not believe so, whatever that means for us."

Everyone in the room digested it differently but kept quiet. She did have a point, thanks to AJ's power she could tell lie from truth and if whatever that copy of RD was spouting she believed it was true... then either spike had a double live as a changeling husband or something was happening here.

Twilight turned back to the cristal looking back at stella.

Basically what stella looks like BUT one of her wings is gold. Consider the designs for imagination of the mane 6 and the better 6 in this kind of artstyle.

After inhaling and exhaling in moral defeat she asked "Ok fine Stella you win, we are completely in the dark here.... Please and i mean PLEASE tell us all you know about what is happening".
