Storm sat in his house, leaning on a table as he think to himself about what to do now. "Hm... I should really talk to more ponies... Maybe I can go and see the Doctor again. He was cool." He said to himself, thinking about doing just that then he heard a knock on the door. Blinking a few times, he quickly got up and went to answer the door, it was the Doctor. "Oh hey. I was just thinking about seeing ya and seeing if you have any free time." Storm said, smiling a bit. The Doctor chuckled a bit from that and replied quickly, "Yes... Well... I need your help with a machine. Electric help." Storm nodded a bit and decided to go ahead and help him with this machine, having nothing else to do anyways.

Once they got there, the Doctor escorted him down to the basement where the machine was. It was a rounded machine with a animated grey orb on top of it. The Doctor show him that the wiring was cut at one spot, not knowing who did it but knowing only that he can't seem to find a replacement for it and wants Storm to use his ability to control the electric and get it flowing. "Okay." Storm said, putting on his metal horn then going down to the floor. "Stand back." The Doctor already had moved as Storm's horn began glowing with electricity and within a few seconds, Storm had electric flowing from one broken end of the wiring to his horn's tip than to the other broken end, causing the machine to turn on. As the machine turned on, it had begun to smoke a bit. "Oh dear." The Doctor said to himself, not expecting this but before he could tell Storm to stop, the machine exploded and sent both the Doctor and Storm against the wall, with Storm going unconscious from it...

Storm slowly woke up after awhile, the Doctor standing right in front him. "Um... You okay?" After a moment, Storm was up on his hooves and nodding a bit. He quickly looked around then noticed that there is another pony in the room who looks a bit like the Doctor except he was more 'greyish', actually had wings, and a green bowtie. "Well... Apparently it worked, in a way but not what I expected... Someone must've messed with my cloning machine." The Doctor said as Storm blinked a few times. "Well then... Why you want to clone yourself?" Storm asked the Doctor curiously as he chuckled a bit. "To have a distraction but I am going to say that this might not be good..." He said as Storm blinked a few times. "The machine did made a clone of you as well except that one just flat out left... This one is just staring at us..." He continued. "So basicly, there's a clone of me out there probably causing issues?" Storm asked quickly as the Doctor nodded. "Argh! I'll go get him." Storm said and headed out. The Doctor stayed to keep an eye out on his own clone, who just chuckled a bit as he watched.

Storm had already took off his little horn and put in his bag for now as he walked out of the house then he notices Jelly walking by. Storm quickly smiled then walked over to him "Hey Jelly! Where had y-" But before he could finished, Jelly quickly turned to him with an angry face. "And you have the nerve to talk to me again!" He said in a rage at Storm, who blinked a bit. "What?" Storm questioned then Jelly continued "Don't give me any bullcrap! I'm going back to Manehatten and staying there, and don't follow me!" Jelly growled a bit and stormed off away from the confused pegasus. "Hm... Did my clone do something terrible to Jelly?" He said to himself as he continued walking.

As he continued walking, he decided to go through the park, not seeing anypony else but he did spotted Lyra and Bon-Bon hanging out at a park bench though Lyra was upset and crying. Storm was about to see what's wrong but the earth pony had gave him a glare, growling a bit under her breathe, and Storm decided it was best to avoid them and quickly go. As the path leads back into town, he continued looking around for his clone then he was almost hit in the head by a fried wub. He looked up, seeing a highly familiar DJ pony getting ready to throw another fried wub of her's. "So do you like them fried? Huh?" She yelled out and Storm just quickly rush past the house and decided to stay away from houses now on.

As he continued, he eventually came to Derpy's house which was on fire but now more of a burnt mess. Carrot Top was outside with Dinky and there were a few guards outside talking to her, probably investigating... The strangest thing though there was some sort of rainbowish liquid on the ground. Storm decided to hide somewhere and try to get a closer look, thinking that this might be his clone's doing. He manage to get close enough to notice a body bag, then he got sick a bit and start backing away while thinking 'Not good! Not good!' but then he accidentally stepped on a twig on the ground. 'Always a twig...' he thought to himself as one of the guards actually looked his way.

The guard quickly said something to Carrot who blinked, nodding a bit then the guard looked over at Storm who was just now turning around, walking away. Then he heard one of the guards yelling at him to stop but instead, he quickly made a break for it. Running quickly, with the guards behind him now. Storm dashed between buildings, to avoid other ponies, and eventually he manage to run right into the Everfree Forest, knowing the guards will most likely not follow him in here, and they didn't. He sighed a bit as he slow down to walk now, frowning a bit to himself. "Well... Buck." He said to himself, thinking on what to do. He can't go back to town right now, at least not without getting into trouble...

As he walked around a bit, he begun to hear noises. Curiously, he begun to look around for the source and finally found his clone hanging out with a tied up unicorn, who was a greenish color with brown+blue mane and tail. He also seemed to have a scroll as his cutie mark. Storm smiled a bit and stepped out, looking at his clone. "Well hello there." Storm said, smiling a bit. The clone wave softly and quickly said, "Oh hello me! Having a blast with everypony in town?" Storm rolled his eyes. "No... Not really... Now tell me, what did you do!" Storm said, stomping a hoof to the ground. Storm had already put his metal horn back on a moment, having it aimed and ready. The clone chuckle softly. "Put it down... We both know that wont work." It said then added "As for what I did, well... Let's see... Fried some wubs, bullied some ponies, set a house on fire, and maybe killed a few. Nothing over the top though... Oh and kidnapped this guy for fun." Storm growled a bit, "Who did you killed?" He asked, still growling at the clone who smiled and replied, "Well... I think somepony named Bran and somepony's brother... I may have killed that retarded grey pony in the fire though... May have. I didn't stick around to watch." He begun laughing a bit to himself. Storm stopped, frowning softly to himself now...

"Ah don't be sad! Now everypony know your just a scary monster who finally started 'acting up' after a life of loneliness and pain..." Storm blinked a bit then looked at the clone. "No. That was you." The clone chuckled again. "And I am you as you are me... We're the same, are we not? What I do is what you would do, no?" It said, smiling softly but then Storm growled loudly at the clone. "No, we are not the same. Unlike you, I am able to hold myself and manage my life... I will never release my pain and suffering in hatred and anger, harming others. No need to." He proclaimed, smiling a bit to himself as the clone just laughed but then the clone went dead quiet... He went to his side and Storm notice a dart in his neck... "What?" Storm said to himself, blinking a bit.

Then a familiar robotic pony came out and pulled the dart out, putting it back with the others. "Target -" But before it could finish, Storm released his electricity that he had been holding that whole entire time, frying the robot. "Argh... Did that crazy blue pony actually manage to make a 'fix myself' AI?" Storm said walking up to the fried bot, then looking at the back and quickly pulled out the AI chip. "Should've done this last time... Well then again." Storm said, looking down at the dead clone. He quickly kicked the fried bot then turn to the unicorn who had been sitting there, unable to move and talk.

Storm untied him quickly and once done, the unicorn smiled and hugged Storm softly. "I heard everything..." He said as Storm  smiled a bit, nodding softly. "Well... Mind helping me with this guy?" Storm asked, pointing to the clone. The unicorn nodded and together, they brought the clone's body back to Ponyville. Like expected, the royal guard were waiting right at the edge of the forest for Storm to run back out but when they saw the clone's body, they decided just watch. The two ponies dropped clone in front of them then Storm himself walked up to the guards and begun explaining what had happened.

The guards accepted it as the body was enough proof that there was another 'Storm' causing everything. Storm was sent back home though, being told that he should stay home until the story is in the paper... Knowing the other ponies wouldn't want to see him, at least not until the truth been told to them. However, the green unicorn decided to hang out with Storm for the rest of the day... "By the way, what is your name?" Storm asked the unicorn curiously as they sat at the table in his home. "Um. Just call me Whinniam." He said, smiling softly and Storm nodded a bit...

The next day, there was a knock at the door. Storm quickly went to the door, seeing the Doctor again and Derpy. It seems like Derpy came out okay. "I read everything in the paper this morning, sorry about that." The Doctor said. "As for my own clone... It kinda manage to steal my time machine. I don't know where it went but nothing had changed so it didn't went into the past." Storm blinked a bit, nodding a little. "Well... Another threat I guess we gotta worry about." Storm said as both of them nodded. Derpy though was just watching, frowning a bit.

Storm looked at her, "I'm sorry for what had happened..." She nodded a bit. "It's... Okay... I guess. I've decided for Dinky's safety to let her stay with Carrot Top while I stay with the Doctor for now..." Storm frowned a bit but decided not to say anything and gave her a friendly hug, knowing she probably need a friend or two right now. After that, he invited them in and they simply had lunch together at his own place...

At the Canterlot palace, Discord was reading all the newspapers from Equestria, hoping some sort of chaos had happened for a good laugh. He may be good now but that doesn't mean he wouldn't want a laugh or two from some chaos, right? When he had read the Ponyville paper, he laughed a bit. "A machine going chaotic..." He said to himself.
