Told from Soul Light's Point of View

I can't remember anything. First I was falling, bleeding, and dropping from the sky. The sky was dark and cloudy, with icy cubes falling. Then I was in a hospital, all the ponies were there. The mares I loved. The guard I trusted. The parents that made me...Parents? I woke up in a bed that wasn't mine. A blanket and room that was similar but different to me.

"Soul Blood! How are you today?" A maid pony came up to me. Soul Blood?...Memories came back to me as I remember who I am.

"Hi! Uh...What am I doing here again?"

"Master? You must have forgotten! After that sky dive you pulled off you must've had amnesia!"

I don't recall having a maid.

"And your sister ,Soul Repair, is in the training room."

Soul Repair? I have an opposite of her, Soul BREAK.

"Uh..." Think like a master! I thought. "My servant...who are you?"

"Oh my name does not matter! But if you wish, my name is Gikina." Must be an alternate of Ginka.

"O.K...bring me a mirror." The green pony brought a mirror and in the reflection was a yellow orange Earth pony, with a black mane, and the same deep blue eyes.

"What happened to my mane?"

"Whatever do you mean master?"

If I have a maid, a sister, no wings, black mane, and 'amnesia' then...they are still alive!

"Where are my parents?"

"I can escort you if you want master." The two went down the hallway and opened the door to the left. inside was Soul Repair fighting a dummy with her hooves.

No horn, yes wings...

"Is there a problem daughter?" A deep feminine voice came from her left.

"You're alive!?!"

"Yes...What? Am I not supposed to be?"

"No no no...It's not that it's just...I feel...strange. I have these, memories that you were dead. That I was a colt and tha-"

"Nonsense Soul Blood. You know what you always said to yourself. 'I am perfect because I never lose'."

I am perfect because I never lose...I never lose...This must be some alternate universe where everything is perfect for me.

"Can I speak to Celestia?"

"That Captain of the Red Rebellious Rifts? Absoulutly not!"

So in this Equestria, she's a rebel...

"Mother, where is Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Nashadow, Ditzy, and Fluttershy?"

"Why would you recite your own staff's names?"

Slaves!?!

I walked away after asking where they were and what they were doing. Dash was assigned to serving the masters, Applejack was the chef, Nashade was the entertainment, Ditzy was the assistant chef, and Fluttershy was a music player. I payed Dash a visit first.

"Dash!"

"Yes master?" She says glumly.

"What are you doing here? I thought you-"

"I'm sorry master, I will get right back to duty."

"Wait! Abolish your current duty! Right now...I'm in need of something."

"What may it be master?" She wore a black maid outfit and had a white apron on top. Which were badly torn and ripped from too much 'duty'.

"I need you to find Applejack, Nashade, Ditzy Doo, Fluttershy, and Gikina to meet me in my chambers."

"But...your chambers are private! I cannot violat-"

"That is an order."

"Yes master." She flew along the walls of the hallway towards others.

Now to find out how I'm going to get out of here.

"Yes master?" The six greeted her in her room.

"I have gathered you all today to help me with a very specific problem. I am not the Soul Blood you say I am." Everypony holds in their gasps, if they did show emotion, they would be punished.

"I am Soul Light, a colt from a different dimension. Apparently our spots have changed during 'Blood's' sky dive. I need you to still carry your duties, but help me create a machine that will change me back."

"What you request of us is nearly impossible! A chef like me can't handle it!"

"But it IS possible. If we just get one big source of nearly infinite power."

"Oh...um...If I may say master...The rebels have the infinite source of power. An alicorn to be exact."

Oh yea! Celestia and Luna!

"Yes, I am aware of that...but how do we get into their base?"

"Pardon me master, but I have learned a few tactics for battle" Gikina reveals a map created from her horn. She explains three tactics. Deception, Assualt, or Peace. Two ponies vote for deception, two for assualt, and three for peace.

"Like what a saying in my dimension was. 'Peace above all'."

We went to a well known base of the Red Rebellious Rifts. There were millions of red guards armed with spears. We only had a sheet of paper to deliver to Celestia.

"Halt! Who goes there?"

"Soul Blood, princess of the So-mmppff!"

"Soul Light!" I covered Gikina's mouth to not reveal the body of who I was in. No doubt that Celestia would recognize me but hey, the guards are stupid in this universe.

"I never heard of Soul Light, Are you part of the Soul family?"

"Part."

"Hey! Dude! She could be a potential spy for us!"

I'M A FUCKING GUY!!!

"Alright! You may pass, but one false move and we'll gut ya!"

The wooden door lowers from chains. opening an entrance to the stone kingdom. Compared to the ruins outside, it was a haven inside. Foals were playing around, laughing and playing, as if war had never existed within these walls. A ragged clothed Celestia appeared in front of them.

"Welcome to the Red Ri- YOU!!!" She levitates Light in the air. "Why have you come here princess?"

"I! ack! am not the princess you speak of!"

"You look exactly like her!"

"I'm a pegasus trapped inside this body! I need to...GAAHHH!!!" Light was released and took a big breath if air. He explains how it had happened and needed an energy source to get her home.

"Sister." A dark ragged clothed alicorn stood next to her. " I don't believe it is wise to trust 'her'."

"Neither do I...I will help you get back to your home."

"Now I just need a way to get me out of here."

"Try the ancient rift that we haven't used in a long time." Celestia points up to the tip of a tower.

Huh...It looks just like the Crystal Empire.

I climbed the stairs to the tower and found a door covered in dust. Celestia followed me up to the tower and strapped herself on the machine. It has two pods. One had the sign, Energy source, and another had the sign, Rift Traveler. Celestia went inside the Energy Source, and powered up the machine. I went inside the Rift travel pod, and was also strapped in the machine. The door closed as the light shined above me.

"Are you ready?"

"Ready when you are Celestia." Electricity ran through me. I felt dizzy and nauseous as the pod around me spin at light speed. I see myself disintegrating, turning into ash. I screamed as I saw the sight from my eyes burn away. At that moment...I felt nothing. Then I fell to the ground. Pain stabbed my back, everypony looked at me...and pointed with their weapons.

2

Told from Soul Light's, Rainbow Dash's, and Ginka's Point of View

"Out of my way rookies!" I went to see what the comotion was. A crater was in the center of the crowd, everypony pointed their weapons towards the unarmed Pegasus. I ordered them to cease fire. As I went to the pegasus at the center of the crater, he told me his name.

Soul Light...Why does that sounds familiar?

"What buisness do you have with Cloudshaven?" I asked the bloody pegasus. He told me that he had traveled through different universes and he has no memory of how he got to the universes.

Must be the work of Bleeding Souls

I stretched out my hoof to offer him assistance, in his condition, he was no threat to us.

I went with the dirty cyan pony to her base. She gave me a ragged cloth and some warm water next to some bread. She questioned me more about me getting into different dimensions and asked if I was a type of Bleeding Soul traveler.

"What's a Bleeding Soul?"

"That's pretty self explainitory, now eat up Soul Light!" I scoop up a spoonful of...something...and eat it within seconds. A few minutes later, I found out that this Equestria is at war with Bleeding Souls, a rebellious group of Souls that will take down the walls of Canterlot. Their leader is Soul Dark. Unlike Me, he had black and red crossed armor, a wife, and anticipated war.

"If he is anything like me at all, then I'll try to convince him to get me back to my universe."

"Good luck Light!" The dusty cyan pony waved goodbye to me as I exit through the building. I went directly to their base from a map.

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP!

Intruder Alert! Intruder Alert!

I put on my black armor with a red cross on it and hurried down to the entrance. Carrying a spear on my side, I open the entrance and see several fellow guards pointing their spears at...Soul Dark?

"State your name!"

"Soul Light!" He said, as I sent a message to Soul Dark. Soul Dark appeared in seconds as he flew out of his tower and ordered them to stand down. With his deep voice, he says, "Who are you?"

"Soul Light, a lost dimensional traveler."

"You come a long way...me. You need a ride home?"

"Yea...I just need to get out of here."

"We'll just make it quick, I have a war to get to."

I saw Dark escort Light inside to a room with a machine I had never seen before. Two pod like casings. Connected to each other. One says 'Energy' and another says 'Travel'. Dark went inside the 'Energy' pod and started things up. Light went inside the 'Travel' pod as the lights blinded my eyes. I could not see anything but white as I hear grinding and spinning. I hear screams coming from Light as the light disappeared. And he was gone. As if he never existed, the guards went back to their duties, Dark went back to ruling his land. Only I didn't forget what it was like when I saw a more friendly version of Dark. Light huh?...I miss him already.

War

Told from Lous's Point of View.

"Attention!" I stand up straight and tall as the other militia ponies did the same. The captain had a mission for each of us, each specializing to the pony. Pegasi were assigned scouting missions, Unicorns were assigned supportive missions, and Earth ponies were assigned combat missions. I had a feeling though, that this mission will be different for me. General Natashade gave me a specialist mission. Strange...she only gives these missions to her private members.

"Lous! You need to investigate the ruins of the Crystal Empire. There has been an energy surge in that area. We believe that the source is somehow connected to you. Find the source. And seek any way to remove it."

"Yes ma'am!" General Natashade turns away.

"Oh, and Lieutenant Lous...don't die on me. You're a valuable ass..." She drinks some Angelic War. "Ahem, asset to the team." For a second I thought she really meant my 'valuable' ass. Of course not Lous! She's a general! Not just your regular!

"Uh, Yes ma'am!"

"Is that all you can say?"

"No ma'am!"

"Then say something else to me Lous." Think of something Lous! Think of something!

"You look very...prepared ma'am!"

"Oh? Prepared for what?" Maybe you should just stop now Lous...

"Prepared for...war?"

"I don't think I'm prepared for war in this black trench coat and pink undergarments. What do you think I'm prepared for? Answer honestly!"

"To try and seduce a...stallion...ma'am..."

"Correct! Now get back to work. Meet me in my office when you are done."

"Yes ma'am!" She facehoof herself. Knowing that she can't recieve any disrespect, she decides to get a unicorn to teleport him.

"Meet Aking! He will be your uh...assistant for this assignment. He knows a thing or two about energy surges. Maybe he can help you."

"Sup!" Wow...Some respect he has...

"Come on Aking! Let's get to the Crystal ruins!"

"Aye Aye Super Spy!" Isn't that from Infamous 2?

In a few seconds, I see nothing but concrete blocks, dust and shattered windows. The thing that stood out to me the most, is myself in the center of a large crater. We sneaked up behind him and restrained him with magic rope that came come Aking.

"Who are you? And what are you doing here?" I asked.

"My name's Soul! And I got lost traveling different Equestria's"

"The only Equestria that exist is at war with the griffons!"

"There's a war?"

"You mean you don't know?"

"I just told you that I need to make it back to my Equestria!"

"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!?!"

"What should we do wing man?"

"Take him for question."

"What sorcery is this?" General Natashade was surprised when we took in Soul. We looked just like each other. Minus the snow camo uniform I have.

"He says that he came from a different Equestria."

"i heard of this before..." Aking held his hoof to his chin for a few seconds. He states that there was an ancient machine that is capable of different realities and that five mare unicorns will unite together to destroy every Equestria. To prevent that from happening, five chosen will meet in one reality to the next and save every Equestria's.

"So Soul...Looks like you were one of the five."

"Mmmpff!! General Natashade tore off the piece of tape on his mouth.

"Yeeeouch! Yea, I'm one of the five, now can I get back to my Equestria?"

"Sure, but we need that machine..."

"No worries, I'll teleport it!" When I paced around for a few seconds, waiting for it to come, I walked into a part of the machine that started it up.

"Quick! Get inside!" I pushed Soul inside as lights flickered everywhere. Inside, I see him turn to ash. He screamed with pain and misery. I hope he and the other five save all reality.

Betrayal

Told from Tainted Soul's Point of View

Betrayal. That pretty much sums up my life in a nutshell. My parents divorced and was killed by a filly unicorn. A dangerous one too. Her name was Medila. Growing stronger every time she survives any wound. My name is Tainted Soul. I am an ex pegasus turned into an Earth pony by an experiment. I am half grey and half blood red with yellow orange mane. I had to constantly fight against my hallucinations. I still am a mare, I just look like a mareish stallion. Then it happened. Sparks of lighting came from clear skies. I rushed to see the pony that was in the center of the impact. Surprisingly, the pony was a pegasus and looked just like a mare. I asked who he or she was.

"My name is Soul Light, I'm a lost universal traveler...you must be me."

"How can I be you when we are completely different?"

"We still have the same colors, similar pasts, and similar experiences."

"Wha- How do you know this?"

"I just need to go back to my dimension."

"I think I heard of a machine that is capable of traveling through realities." I showed him the place. It was well guarded by Celestia's guards. I tried to negotiate with them, but they wouldn't follow with me. I had to knock them out using my trained hooves, and activated booby traps on the way. Spears came flying at us, walls tried to crush us, and some creature with two legs and a big mouth came at us and blurred our vision. At last we found the machine. I strapped him on the 'Travel' pod and I started up the 'Energy' pod. The same lighting came to the pods and made him turn to ashes. He screamed at the time. I thought this was a one time thing but after awhile, I found myself in a white room with four different me's.
