i drew my little pony fluttershy

To compensate for the wait of the next season of SBC Honest Trailers, I'll be filling some of the time with this. This is basically where I'm going to be posting stories that I've never posted on SBC before, works that I made under the internet personality of CloudMistDragon. 

But seriously, I did draw my little pony fluttershy

If you want to know why part of her hair isn't shaded in, it's just art style combined with the fact that I just fucked up.

This first story I'm posting though isn't MLP-related though, it's a Robot Chicken-style sketch anthology I wrote based off the Final Fantasy games, the first ten of them.

Story: Robot Chocobo

Original Debut Date: December 22, 2015

Prologue

 

One day, the mad scientist Hojo found a young roadkill chocobo near his house. After making some modifications to the chocobo in his basement, he succeeded in reviving it and transforming it into...Robot Chocobo. And now, it appears he seeks to brainwash Robot Chocobo somehow, by strapping him to a chair and forcing him to watch…

 

...what’s going on in the other Final Fantasy worlds.

 

Final Fantasy I

 

A fighter, a red mage, a black mage, and a white mage were walking through a forest far northeast of Pravoka. The fighter, who was getting tired on this journey, began to complain.

 

“Ugh…” the weary warrior groaned. “This is taking FOREVER! We’re never going to get super-strong at this rate!”

 

“We’re only 900 EXP points away from getting up to L9.” the black mage pointed out.

 

“Yeah,” chimed in the white mage, “and since good formations of Geists give out 70-115 EXP, and a formation of Ogres including an Ogre Chief gives out 160 EXP, that’s only…”

 

“Guys, guys, guys.” the red mage interrupted them. “I think you’re forgetting one vvveeeerrrryyyyy crucial thing...intelligence is useless in this game.”

 

The black mage and white mage then remembered that this was the NES version. The intelligence stat was bugged.

 

“Oh yeah…” the black mage said. “This is stupid.”

 

“We’re all stupid.” the white mage added.

 

“Duh…” the fighter said. “Let’s just walk to the edge of that cliff by the ocean for no reason.”

 

“It’s called a penin-” the black mage began before he remembered. “Oh right.”

 

So the party started to just walk around the edge of the penin...cliff for no reason. Soon though, they were attacked by a giant dinosaur!

 

“EEK!” the white mage screamed. “GO AWAY!”

 

She pulled a mallet out of her robe (don’t ask me why white mages can equip hammers in this game) and threw it at the dinosaur, hitting it square in the forehead. The dinosaur was knocked unconscious and fell backwards into the ocean. Soon, it drowned, and the party did a victory dance as they gained…

 

...846 EXP. They still had 54 EXP to go.

 

“...So, who’s up for the Geist/Ogre Chief idea?” the red mage asked.

 

Final Fantasy II

 

Firion, Maria, Guy, and Leon were fleeing from the Emperor’s troops, the four dark knights...but they got caught because the run system in their game is terrible.

 

“Shit…” Firion said as the gang was surrounded and the Emperor’s troops beat them up.

 

“Let that be a warning to ya.” the imperial general of the troops said as he and the army left.

 

Eventually, Leon got up, having come to a realization…

 

“I know what I must do now…” he told himself. “To defeat the dark knights, I must become a dark knight!”

 

And so, Leon journeyed to seek guidance from Final Fantasy II’s most notorious dark knight…

 

“Sorry,” Cecil told him, “I’m a paladin now. And I’m only from the misnumbered version of Final Fantasy II. The one that’s actually IV.”

 

“Damnation!” Leon swore like Cecil in the Game Boy Advance version.

 

Final Fantasy III

 

Luneth, Arc, Refia, and Ingus were just merrily waltzing into a room in Xande’s castle when they saw a mysterious mirror in front of them. Suddenly, they were paralyzed!

 

“Ugh, we can’t move!” they shouted.

 

“Don’t worry!” Doga declared in their minds. “I’ll save you! I’ll find five souls of light to break the mirror’s curse!”

 

Elsewhere, in Castle Sasune…

 

Princess Sara was merrily waltzing around her bedroom when suddenly, Doga appeared in front of her.

 

“Princess Sara!” Doga cried. “I must ask of your…”

 

Sara was so shocked by Doga’s abrupt appearance that she had a fatal heart attack.

 

“CURSES!” Doga bellowed as he teleported to the town of Canaan.

 

In Canaan…

 

Cid and his wife were just standing around when all of a sudden, Doga appeared in front of them.

 

“Cid!” Doga yelled. “I need…”

 

Cid and his wife were also so shocked by Doga’s sudden appearance that they too were stricken with fatal heart attacks.

 

“NOAH DAMN IT!” Doga cursed. “I guess I’ll have to try a more calm approach…”

 

At the Tower of Owen…

 

Doga quietly strolled through the top floor of the tower and looked around for Desch, only to find him nowhere.

 

“Desch…” he said somberly. “I was hoping you’d still be here…”

 

“Actually, I am still here.” Desch’s voice came from above.

 

In response to hearing Desch’s voice, Doga got a feeling of hope and happily looked above...only to find Desch’s ghost floating over him.

 

“No…” Doga said sadly. “You can’t help…”

 

“Yeah sorry,” replied Desch, “that lava I jumped into gave me third-degree burns. I’ll need some time to recover from the damage that experience did to my soul.”

 

“So now all who are left are Alus and the four old men…” Doga said as he teleported to Castle Saronia.

 

At Castle Saronia, Doga ran up the steps to the throne room to find the young King Alus sitting on his throne.

 

“King Alus,” said Doga, “I humbly request that you come with me to help Luneth, Arc, Refia, and Ingus. They are in grave danger.”

 

“Hmm…” Alus replied. “I don’t know. You’re not a pedophile, are you?”

 

Doga stood silent and then examined his shady demeanor for a short while before answering…

 

“No.”

 

“Good!” Alus proclaimed. “Then I trust you with my life!”

 

Alus then followed Doga by his side as Doga teleported them both to Amur, where the four old men resided. Doga and Alus walked through the town and came up to them.

 

“Quad of elderly codgers whose names I do not know,” said Doga, “would you please follow us to help Luneth, Arc, Refia, and Ingus out of dire trouble? Due to unfortunate circumstances, we must have all four of you present to complete the circle of the five souls of light.”

 

“Sure!” the old men exclaimed happily. “We can all come! We like the sound of being 4/5ths of the five souls of light! Ha ha ha!”

 

“I’m only 20 percent of the group…” Alus said sadly. “That makes them 80 percent cooler…”

 

Final Fantasy IV

 

Cecil, Kain, Rosa, and Yang were fighting to protect the third Dark Crystal from Golbez in the Underworld, but to no avail. Golbez’s Dark Dragon was simply too powerful…

 

“Farewell, Cecil.” Golbez said, about to finish Cecil off, when suddenly…

 

A Mist Dragon appeared and destroyed the Dark Dragon with its mist breath!

 

“What?!” Golbez cried.

 

Cecil and his party were then healed by the one who who summoned the Mist Dragon...Rydia!

 

“No, this can’t be!” Golbez yelled as Cecil and his team beat him up. “AGH!”

 

It was then that Cecil and the others turned to Rydia.

 

“Rydia!” Kain exclaimed. “You’re hot! And alive!”

 

Angrily, Rydia gave Kain’s behind a good lash with her whip.

 

“And sexy when you’re mad!”

 

“Thanks for the help.” Cecil said politely.

 

“How did you become older though?” Yang asked curiously.

 

“Yeah, you look two years younger than me…” Rosa said, secretly jealous.

 

“And how did you find us?” Kain asked.

 

“I was coming back from the Land of the Summons,” explained Rydia, “a place where everyone ages faster, with another guy who went through the reverse Peter Pan effect. We had sensed you were here and in trouble, so we came to help.”

 

“Reverse Peter Pan?” Cecil replied in confusion. “Wait, that couldn’t be…”

 

“NNGH!” Golbez grunted from behind. “I WON’T DIE! EVEN IF I HAVE TO TURN MYSELF INTO A HAND!”

 

So that’s what Golbez did. He turned himself into a Floormaster!

 

“NO!” everyone screamed as they ran from Golbez, the walking hand. “WE DON’T WANT TO GO ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE BEGINNING OF THE DUNGEON!”

 

Cecil and his team cowered in the corner as Golbez’s hand headed for the Dark Crystal…

 

“What do we do now?!” Kain cried. “What the HELL do we do now?!”

 

“...We pray.” Rosa replied as she used her Pray ability.

 

A message then appeared above the party saying...

 

“Prayer was unanswered.”

 

“Damn it.”

 

But just then, an arrow was shot at Golbez’s hand, piercing it and killing it instantly. Surprised, Cecil and the others looked over and saw...Link!

 

“Link!” they exclaimed. “You son of a bitch! You came into the wrong franchise just to save us!”

 

“You think I’d let anything make me miss this?” Link replied as he put away his trademark bow and arrow. “Especially after I got casted as a dead guy in the remake of the first Final Fantasy?”

 

“Wait a minute…” Rosa thought to herself as she looked at her bow and arrow. “I could’ve done that!”

 

Final Fantasy V

 

Guido, the turtle sage, and Exdeath, the evil warlock, were fighting inside Guido’s cave after Bartz, Krile, and Faris had been rendered helpless after being struck by Exdeath’s magic.  

 

“So, you do have some fight in you after all!” Exdeath complimented Guido.

 

“I haven’t spent these last few centuries munching pizza…” Guido replied.

 

“You shall find no such delicacies in the afterlife!” Exdeath exclaimed.

 

Guido, Bartz, Krile, and Faris all just stared at Exdeath in puzzlement.

 

“...How come?” a perplexed Guido asked. “Is the ruler of the Great Beyond just a bigger fan of Chinese food?”

 

“No…” Exdeath replied with a sinister smile. “It is because I killed the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! And when they got to the afterlife, they ate all the pizza!”

 

Everyone gasped in horror.

 

“And I also killed Shredder just for the fun of it! MWA HA HA HA HA!”

 

“YOU MONSTER!” Guido bellowed.

 

Meanwhile, in the afterlife…

 

“Actually,” said Shredder, “he killed me because I accused him of ripping off my costume design.”

 

Final Fantasy VI

 

Edgar, the womanizing king of Castle Figaro, had just been greeted by, Kefka, the evil imperial jester, and his men.

 

“What brings Emperor Gestahl’s humble court mage, Kefka, to my castle?” Edgar asked Kefka.

 

“We heard that a rogue girl with sorcerous power fled from Narshe and took refuge here.” Kefka explained. “Is this true?”

 

“And what if it is?” Edgar replied. “Do you plan to execute her?”

 

“Lies!” Kefka exclaimed. “She merely stole something of minor value!”

 

“What did she steal?” Edgar asked. “I’m interested, if I’m allowed to know the details…”

 

“Ha ha,” laughed Kefka, “well if you must know...she stole my heart! BWA HA HA HA HA!”

 

Both Edgar and Kefka’s men laughed too.

 

“Oh Kefka…” Edgar said. “I thought you’d know by now that I’m the one who makes those kinds of jokes. You know, the ones about you being a piece of shit.”

 

Final Fantasy VII

 

Cloud, Barret, and Tifa were in the City of the Ancients, where Bugenhagen was showing them what had been written about the spell, Holy, being the planet’s last hope.

 

“So that’s what Aeris was trying to do…” Cloud said in a crestfallen tone of voice. “But it’s over now. When Sephiroth stabbed her, the pearl she was gathering magic in fell from the altar and sunk to the bottom of the water…”

 

“Yo, Cloud!” Barret exclaimed. “Get your spikey-ass head workin’! Ya forgotten about the submarine?! We’ll just dive down in the water with it and get it!”

 

“Yeah,” chimed in Tifa, “we just need to take the submarine from the dock point and push it in the City of the Ancients!”

 

So that’s what the trio did. After a long endeavor of pushing the submarine, they made it to the area with the altar where Aeris’ pearl fell.

 

“Alright, everyone!” Cloud exclaimed. “On three! 1, 2, 3!”

 

They all picked up the submarine and tried to throw it in the water...only to accidentally throw it too high, where it hit the altar and got busted up. The submarine then fell in the water and began floating in it.

 

“Don’t worry!” Cloud said optimistically. “I’m sure with a few repairs, the sub will be fine…”

 

With that, the submarine began to sink.

 

“It’s over now…” Cloud said somberly.

 

Final Fantasy VIII

 

Squall, Zell, and Irvine looked at the paltry amount of magic that they had stocked up and groaned.

 

“What a drag…” Squall said as he facepalmed.

 

“SO BORING!” Zell exclaimed.

 

“The ladies are going to look at this as a deal breaker…” Irvine said in despondence over how small it was.

 

“We won’t stand a chance against any powerful foes like this…” Squall said. “If we want to get stronger...we’re going to have to get committed…”

 

Squall, Zell, and Irvine then went out into a field of strong monsters who had strong magic for them to draw. As the trio readied their weapons, the song Live to Win began playing as they spent hours drawing all sorts of powerful spells that made for very effective stat junctions. After many, many hours, they were back in Squall’s room. They all had acne from how much they had been sweating out in the field and each of them was on a computer researching the best ways to utilize the magic they had acquired.

 

“Okay, Regen is the best spell at this point to junction to HP…” Zell said. “Good thing I have 100 of them, hee hee…”

 

“If I ever get 100 Triples, I better junction them to my strength instead of my hit rate since my gunblade already has a perfect hit rate…” Squall said.

 

“100 Deaths junctioned to status-attack means a 100 per cent chance of killing anything susceptible to instant death! Yee-haw!” Irvine exclaimed.

 

Something dawned on the trio…

 

“Wait a second…” they said to themselves. “If we need 100, the max amount, of any spell to fully utilize it...what the hell do we do when we actually need to cast the spell?! We can’t use the magic without losing it!”

 

Some more research later…

 

“Oh…” they all went as they came to a realization. “The trick is to have a good stock of items you can refine into that magic so that you basically have an infinite supply even if you do have to use it. And the best way to stock up on those kind of items is by refining cards. But the only feasible way to get cards is by...playing the card game.”

 

They looked at their acne-ridden selves for a moment and laughed.

 

“Pfft…what do we look like, a bunch of nerds?” they joked.

 

Final Fantasy IX

 

Zidane and Vivi were at an inn. Zidane was practicing his moves before he noticed that Vivi was looking down.

 

“What’s wrong, man?” Zidane asked Vivi.

 

“Zidane…” a despondent Vivi replied. “You saw those black mages that looked just like me…”

 

“What about ‘em?” Zidane asked.

 

“They were being manufactured…” Vivi explained. “And I think I’m just like them...I think I’m a product of the machine!”

 

Vivi began crying as Zidane, taking pity on him, kneeled down to comfort him.

 

“Calm down dude,” said Zidane in a warm, relieving tone, “it’s alright. You’re no different than anybody else.”

 

Vivi stopped crying soon after hearing that.

 

“Really?” he said with a sniff.

 

“Of course!” Zidane exclaimed. “We’re all products of the machine! You just learn to live with it!”

 

“Thanks…” Vivi replied before he realized what Zidane just said. “Wait, WHAT?!”

 

Everything zoomed out to the real world, where an employee at Square Enix, the one who designed the characters for Final Fantasy IX, was watching this scene and laughing maniacally.

 

Final Fantasy X

 

Tidus, Auron, Wakka, Lulu, Yuna, Kimahri, and Rikku were at Seymour’s place in Guadosalam. Seymour had just told Auron this…

 

“We Guado can pick up the scent of the Farplane.”

 

“Huh?” Tidus said as he went over to Auron and started sniffing him. “Boy, the Farplane smells like booze! How many people die from alcohol poisoning in Spira?”

 

“Not many.” Auron replied as he pushed Tidus aside, and Yuna, offended by Tidus’ comment, came over to him and slapped him. “I didn’t get that smell from the Farplane. Seymour is confused. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a ride to catch.”

 

Auron then walked out of Seymour’s house, as the rest of the gang, curious, followed him. A high-class, luxury plane had been waiting for him outside. Inside the plane, which they could see when Auron entered, was a cool-looking bar. After Auron got on the plane, it flew away. Suddenly, something dawned on Tidus…

 

“Oh…” Tidus said. “I get it now! He’s not from the Farplane...his plane is just far out! Uh? Uh?”

 

Tidus’ friends were dead silent until Rikku exclaimed…

 

“You can cram your bad comedy, you big unfunnyie!”

 

The End

 

“Wark! Wark! Wark!” chocobos could be heard making sounds over the credits. “W-Wark! Wark! Wark! W-Wark! W-W-W-W-Wark! Wark! Wark! Wark! Wark! Wark! W-Wark! W-Wark! Wark! Wark! W-W-W-W-Wark! WARK!”

 

“Wark.” Squall said like he would say, “Whatever.”.

[Metal Snake]

This is another sketch series story I did just recently, this time it's for Resident Evil.

Story: Resident Lulzy

Original Debut Date: March 3rd, 2016

Resident Evil 1

Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine, Barry Burton, Joseph Frost, and Albert Wesker were investigating in the field outside of the Spencer Mansion. Eventually, Joseph Frost found something of interest lying on the ground…

"Hey guys, come here!" he called to his comrades.

Joseph then began to pick up what he had found as a nearby dog growled ominously…

Joseph brought what he had discovered closer and closer to him until he realized that it was a gun...with a human hand still clinging to it.

…

"Hey guys, what's taking you?" Joseph called again. "There's a gun with a guy's hand still on it here!"

Eventually, the other S.T.A.R.S. members came over to where he was and saw the disembodied hand.

"WOAH!" Chris exclaimed. "I gotta hand it to you Joseph, that was some great scouting!"

"Now all we have to do is find out who this hand belongs to and give them some handy first-aid!" Jill interjected.

"That was too close!" Barry chimed in. "That hand was almost a worm dinner!"

"I have to say Joseph," said Wesker, "as my subordinate, you have wonderful talent as a scoutman. Why don't you become our new scout dog?"

"Hey!" the nearby dog barked. "I wanted to be the new scout dog!"

Resident Evil 2

Leon Scott Kennedy, on Caution health, was clutching his stomach as he was trying to catch up to Ada Wong, who kept running ahead of him. Eventually, he caught up to her and began to interrogate her.

"Ada!" he exclaimed. "Why do you keep running away from me?"

"Because you touch yourself in public." Ada replied in a deadpan tone of voice.

"What?!" Leon cried, taken aback. "No, I don't!"

"How can you deny it?" Ada asked. "You're doing it right now."

Ada pointed to how Leon was touching his stomach.

"Ada, I am seriously hurt right now!" Leon exclaimed defensively.

"By me or by the truth?" Ada asked with a naughty grin on her face.

"Neither!" Leon answered. "I'm wounded from being attacked by monsters! You should have seen the way they came onto me!"

"My sympathies." Ada said, still grinning cheekily. "That must've been a very stimulating experience. Oh ho ho ho."

Resident Evil 3

Jill Valentine was running through the Raccoon City graveyard, when all of a sudden, zombies started rising out of the ground!

"Wait, what?" Jill asked in confusion. "These zombies aren't really zombies, just mutated people! They're only dead in a figurative sense, they should've suffocated down there!"

Thankfully, one of the zombies who was dressed like a construction worker, used to be a scientist, and was able to construct a scientific explanation.

"The T-virus has an effect on the dead as well as the living," he elaborated, "as seen with your comrade, Brad Vickers."

"Oh…" Jill responded. "So all the zombies rising from their graves are dead."

"Hmm...possibly not all." the construction scientist zombie said. "Some of the zombies in this graveyard could also be living people who decided to take a dirt nap, and were able to survive underground after being so accustomed to breathing in the highly dirt-filled air found in Raccoon City."

"That's crazy!" Jill exclaimed. "How did the air get so filthy?"

Some nights ago…

"STARS!" Nemesis shouted as he stood on top of a building, looking out at the starry night sky. "RRRAAAGGGHHH!"

He took his rocket launcher and began shooting at the stars, as the smoke from the exhaust of the rockets polluted the air. Even as the stars fell out of the sky and onto the dirty ground from being shot at, Nemesis kept shooting at them, causing the dirt on the ground to be kicked up into the air.

"Because you have a filthy mouth." the construction scientist zombie joked. "You need to say the S word less."

"Okay then…" an agitated Jill said as she pointed a handgun at the construction scientist zombie's head. "Eat dirt with crap in it!"

She shot the zombie in the head and he fell down on the ground...where he started literally eating the dirt.

"What the hell?" Jill remarked. "Now who's the one with a filthy mouth? You guys need some damn Orbit gum!"

And that's how Orbit's ad-campaign featuring zombies began!

Resident Evil: Code Veronica X

Claire Redfield was about to leave Alfred's mansion after being unable to collect the Gold Lugers she needed to unlock the door to Alexia's mansion when she heard something.

"YAAAH!" Steve Burnside cried. "HELP MEEE!"

"Steve?!" Claire responded in concern as she ran back to the Gold Luger room. There, she saw on the computer monitor, Steve banging against the closed off door with the Lugers in hand.

"It's too warm in here!" Steve whined about the heat that was filling the room. "I don't want to get a tan!"

Claire facepalmed.

"At least that explains his girly whine…" she remarked as she deactivated the trap out of pity by solving the puzzle on the computer, freeing Steve from the now open room he was trapped in.

"Phew, that was too close!" he commented, having escaped the tan. "Thanks to you, surviving in this place is like a day at the beach! Now I've got a pair of pistols that are literally worth their weight in gold!"

"Wait, Steve!" Claire exclaimed. "I need those guns to open the door that leads to the next spot on this island, so we can get out of this deathtrap! If you give them to me, I'll give you a pair of submachine guns! They're empty, but so are those lugers, so it should be a fair trade."

"No way!" Steve replied. "I want guns to shoot, not to save our lives! I'll tell you what, I'll let you have the lugers in exchange for something fully automatic."

"Okay then…" Claire said with a grin as she got out a car key and pressed a button on it. A fully automatic Nissan car came crashing through the wall.

"WOAH!" Steve exclaimed with joy. "For me?!"

"Only for your lugers." Claire replied.

"Sure!" Steve said as he happily handed them to her. "Not like you or I need them any more! I've got a much better idea on how to get past that door…"

The sound of the car revving up was heard from behind the locked door with the hollow for the Gold Lugers before Steve drove it through the door. The car came to a stop and the airbags deployed on him and Claire, who was in the passenger seat.

"Now that's what saves lives!" Steve declared, referring to the slowly deflating airbags and the seatbelts they were wearing. "Always wear your seatbelts, kids!"

Resident Evil 4

Leon Scott Kennedy and Ashley Graham were fleeing a large group of hostile villagers. They eventually made it to a cabin, where they barricaded the door with the help of Luis Sera, whom they met there. After they had done that, Luis looked upon Ashley naughtily.

"It seems the president has his daughter equipped with Full Metal Ballistics!" he joked as he looked down at her breasts.

In response, Ashley smirked.

"Actually…" she replied as she pressed a button on her chest that was concealed under her shirt. "He has me equipped with...Full Metal Gear."

The sound of a machine changing shape could be heard as Metal Gear Rex poked his head out of Ashley's shirt and roared.

"Oh shit!" Luis exclaimed as Metal Gear Rex launched missiles at him and he ran away screaming. "AAAHH!"

Later, when they were fighting the villagers who were trying to break into the cabin…

"Hey, Leon!" Luis called to Leon. "How about some tunes to go along with this gauntlet?"

"Right on it…" Leon replied as he got out his mixtape. When he played it, this song came on...

"THE FLINCH IN YOUR EYE CALLS YOUR BLUFF!"

Leon stopped the tape and facepalmed.

"This isn't your game, Dante!" he exclaimed.

He tried playing another song…

"SONGS AS OLD AS TIME, BEAUTY AND THE BEAST!"

Leon stopped the tape, and his cheeks went red with embarrassment as he looked over at Luis.

"Seriously, hombre?" Luis asked. "Pixar music is a lot better."

"Hey," replied Leon, "Disney music is a lot more suitable to the situation we're in. Just listen to this…"

Leon played one more song…

"MY DATE WITH THE PRESIDENT'S DAUGHTER!"

"Sums everything up, really." Leon said.

Later, in the castle…

Leon and Ashley were walking down a corridor, when all of a sudden, Ashley began to cough up blood.

"Are you okay?" Leon asked her, feeling concerned.

"I'm fine!" Ashley barked back, pushing him. "Just leave me alone!"

She then ran further down the corridor...until she realized that Leon wasn't following her. She looked back at him, and noticed he looked glum.

"I just wanted to offer you a Ricola…" he said in bemusement as he showed her a cough drop.

"Oh, I'm sorry…" Ashley apologized as she walked back to him. "I've just been having mood swings lately…"

"It's fine, I understand." Leon replied, sympathizing with her as he put the cough drop away and got out a tube filled with the mixture of a Green, Red, and Yellow Herb. "Here, have some of my herbs instead."

"Uh…" Ashley went in response.

"What?" Leon asked. "They're good for you. They're also much better when you take them through a tube."

Ashley just stared in uncertainty as Leon took a sip of the mixture.

"Ah…" he said. "A much better alternative to having a smoke."

"MY DATE WITH THE PRESIDENT'S DAUGHTER!"

[Metal Snake]

I guess now I may as well post a MLP:FiM story. This is the first one I wrote that I tried to make as like the show as possible.

Story: Pull the Tail on the Pony

Original Post Date: January 3rd, 2016

Place: Canterlot Castle, Equestria Time: 7:23 AM

It was a normal, peaceful day in Equestria. Princess Celestia, the majestic and fair ruler of Equestria and the bringer of daylight, had just finished raising the sun that morning from the outlook of her castle, like always. She had since then retired to her bedroom, now merrily grooming herself. She always brushed her hair before going out to raise the sun, and then a second time after that for good measure. However, as Celestia groomed herself this morning, something started feeling mysteriously off to her...

...Why?

She asked herself in her thoughts. Levitating a blue brush with her horn, she looked down at her multi-colored, luxurious tail.

I feel...a disturbance…something about...my tail…?

Celestia pondered this strange, foreboding feeling concerning her tail, though it wouldn't be until later that morning…

Place: Canterlot Castle, Equestria Time: 11:08 AM

"Your Highness!" a royal guard exclaimed while he galloped into Celestia's throne room.

"Yes?" Celestia, sitting upon her throne, answered.

"It pains me, but I must inform you of a dire situation occurring in Ponyville that demands immediate attention." the guard explained. "I witnessed something terrible happen there while I was patrolling the town for any suspicious activity."

"What might the problem be?" Celestia asked. "I will help in any way I can."

"...There is...a creature…"

"A creature?"

"Not just any creature...an unidentified creature that appears to be of adolescent age."

"So...what is this creature doing? Wreaking havoc?"

"Please excuse me Your Majesty, but "wreaking havoc" is a gross understatement of what this young creature is doing…"

"What could he be doing that's so bad? He's only a kid after all…"

"Pulling tails." the guard suddenly muttered.

"Hmm?" Celestia responded to her guard finally coming out with it.

"He's going around Ponyville town square...pulling the tail of every pony he sees for his own personal amusement." the guard said clearly.

In response to hearing this shocking news, Celestia shot the guard a blank stare. She then used her right hoof to slowly push a red button on the right side of her throne…

…

It was an emergency button that sounded an alarm across Equestria to call for her best men...mares.

Place: Canterlot Castle, Equestria Time: 11:52 AM

Princess Celestia's best mares, the Mane 6, had arrived at her castle, and were standing in a single-file line in her throne room. Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and Spike were all there after having come as quickly as they could. They all bowed to Celestia as she, starting from Applejack and making her way down to Spike, began slowly trotting in front of them in a military-esque fashion as she spoke to them.

"I'm very glad to see that all of you heard and answered my call." Celestia greeted them, referring to the emergency button she had pressed, and continued trotting.

"As you may already know, Ponyville is in great jeopardy, and I need the help of all six-"

Celestia stopped trotting when she arrived in front of Spike, and looked over at him with a confounded look on her face. Spike, in response, grinned and waved his right claw.

"Um...yup!" he said sheepishly. "All six!"

Celestia's confounded stare towards Spike wasn't moved.

"Is there...something stuck to my face?" Spike asked. "Sorry, I did have some Chewy Ruby cereal this morning, and that stuff always sticks to my mouth. Ha ha…"

Celestia look of confusion still didn't fade. She soon turned to the others, all having nervous looks on their faces.

"...Where's Twilight Sparkle?" she asked them.

"Well, heh heh…" Rainbow Dash said with a nervous laugh.

"It's...kind of a long story." Applejack said with a sheepish smile. "But to make it short…"

"Twilight insisted on staying in Ponyville to take care of that horrid creature after we heard your distress call." Rarity explained.

"We asked her why she was so intent in dealing with something so dangerous on her own," Fluttershy chimed in, "but all she said back to us was… "I caused this catastrophe, and only I should bear the burden of ending it.""

"And all I said back to that was… "Are you pulling our legs?"" Pinkie Pie said as the sound of a drumroll could be heard in the background.

Applejack, Rainbow, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Spike all groaned.

"Wow," said a bemused Rainbow, "you actually managed to make it sound even unfunnier than the first time."

"Pinkie, other ponies' tails being pulled ain't a laughing matter!" Applejack exclaimed.

"I must concur with Applejack here for a change," said Rarity, "such jokes are highly insensitive to all the victims. How do you think Fluttershy feels having to hear you make comedy out of her pain?"

"When he pulled my tail…" Fluttershy said as she shivered, recounting what the creature did to her. "He caressed it for some time before letting it go...and then he smirked at me and said… "Nice tail extensions." *sniff* *sob*"

"Sheesh, I'm just trying to lighten the mood." Pinkie responded in defense. "What do you think I'm trying to pull here?"

The drumroll could be heard in the background again as Fluttershy sobbed louder.

"And they said my comic relief was bad…" Spike remarked as he pinched his nose in bemusement.

"Alright, enough." Celestia intervened. "All I care about right now is everypony's safety. Do you know if Twilight Sparkle was successful in apprehending the creature?"

"Actually, yeah." Applejack replied.

"Really?" Celestia said.

"Yes," chimed in Rarity, "before we left, we helped Twilight capture him and take him into custody."

"How I may ask?" Celestia asked, confused over Rarity's nonchalant tone.

"To give you the abridged version," answered Rainbow, "we just surrounded him and after Twilight whispered something in his ear, he agreed to stop. Then we heard that distress call you sent out, and here we all are."

"That poor guard…" Celestia thought. "Running all the way over here for nothing…"

Celestia was still puzzled, however.

"The way you explained the situation with Twilight to me…" she said. "I thought you meant she insisted on stopping the creature by herself."

"No," replied Applejack, "we meant she insisted on taking the creature into custody back at her castle by herself. Twilight's got guts wanting to handle a task like that on her own."

"So...is that it?" Celestia asked. "You've succeeded in detaining the threat, and...that's all?"

"Yup!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed. "Show's over!"

The traditional Merrie Melodies end credits music began playing as the traditional Looney Tunes end title card came up saying, "That's all, folks!". However, the music soon stopped playing as Rainbow Dash started pushing the title card away saying…

"No, no, no! This can't all end on such a BORING note!"

"Rainbow's right," said Applejack, "there's gotta be some conflict here we've left unresolved. But what could it be?"

"Um...maybe it has something to do with Twilight…" Fluttershy muttered.

"Twilight must want to pull that creature's ponytail!" Pinkie abruptly shouted. "She's out to take revenge for Fluttershy!"

Everyone in the room looked at Pinkie weirdly.

"...I think that's her way of telling us that we should go check on Twilight right about now to make sure she's okay." Spike assumed. "She is alone with that creature and all."

Place: Princess Twilight Sparkle's Castle, Equestria Time: Right About Now

Princess Celestia, Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and Spike entered the meeting room of Twilight Sparkle's castle.

"Twilight?" they said as they entered and looked around, but saw nopony. "Twilight? Where is she?"

"Ooohh...OOOHH!"

Everyone heard Twilight moaning and groaning from her bedroom.

"Woah…" Rainbow Dash said in surprise, everyone in the group sharing her astonishment. "I think we just got our answer."

They all proceeded to trot to Twilight's bedroom. Making it to the locked bedroom door, Rainbow peered into a keyhole below the knob.

"Holy cow…" she remarked.

"Rainbow!" Rarity exclaimed in bemusement. "How rude!"

"Hey," replied Rainbow, "don't berate me! Twilight's the one who has a tail-pulling fix!"

"What?!" Rarity cried as she pushed Rainbow aside. "Let me see!"

Looking through the keyhole herself, Rarity was aghast to see Twilight Sparkle lying on her bed, enjoying herself as a male unicorn with a yellow coat and a black mane ending with a ponytail, was tugging her tail with magic.

Rarity gasped before loudly bellowing…

"TWILIGHT! WHAT IN PRINCESS CELESTIA'S NAME ARE YOU DOING?!"

"Hey!" Celestia said. "No need to scream, I'm right here."

Celestia bent over and using a magic spell, unlocked the bedroom door as a beam of magic emanating from her horn entered the keyhole and undid the lock. Turning the knob with her magic, Celestia opened the door all the way for the group to see Twilight and the male unicorn sitting on the bed with looks of fear and shame on their faces. They had ceased what they were doing upon hearing Rarity's shriek, and were now very worried knowing that they had been caught right in the act.

"Before you all start yelling," said the stallion, "let me explain."

He then pointed to Twilight.

"She did it."

Princess Celestia and Twilight's friends looked upon them with unconvinced frowns.

"...Okay, she did most of it." the stallion said.

"No…" a crestfallen Twilight intervened. "I did all of it. I'm entirely to blame. This stallion...he's the one who was pulling everypony's tails. I brought him to Equestria by mistake...and when I brought him back here, I turned him into a pony."

"W-wait," said a confused Rainbow Dash, "I-I'm still not following this. How exactly did you bring that kid to Equestria? And why would you turn him into a pony?"

"And the biggest question of all," said Applejack, "why was he pulling your tail?"

"It all started last night…" Twilight began to explain as a flashback started, showing her in her study room. "I was working on a new spell late at night that I could use to teleport any pony from any spot in Equestria to my castle. Still in its prototype phase, this spell required me to visualize the pony I wanted to teleport's tail in my head, and then tug them by the tail through a magic portal. However, when I tried it out, I learned the hard way that this spell didn't just work on ponies…"

"OOWWW!" the yell of a male, seventeen-year-old human being with black hair ending with a ponytail and dressed in a yellow shirt and black pants could be heard.

"It could affect other creatures as well...and I pulled one in that had never even been discovered in Equestria before!" Twilight exclaimed as she narrated the flashback. "I would have sent him back to where he belonged right away...but this new spell could only bring others to me, not send them back! And I didn't even know where he came from! This creature in question...I had mistakenly grabbed him by his hair, which he had fashioned the back of into what looked like a pony's tail, when I pulled him into our world. And he was not happy about that…"

The flashback ended.

"So...that's why he pulled a bunch of other ponies' tails?" Rarity asked. "Some vain attempt at revenge?"

"Eh...that was more just for the fun of it." the stallion, now revealed to be the human (referred to as "creature" by the ponies) who was pulling ponies' tails in Ponyville town square. "But boy, when that purple unicorn first pulled me in here, I was ticked. I made sure to pull her tail at least two or three times to get my money's worth. Crazy thing that happened though was…"

"I realized that I actually enjoyed having my tail pulled." Twilight explained with a tone of shame in her words. "I even fantasized about how great it would feel if he pulled my tail while he was a pony...so after we captured him, I promised him that if he let me make him a pony, he would get to pull my tail all night long if he so wished. Of course, I meant to change him back as soon as we were done. Getting him home on the other hoof, I still don't know. I'm really sorry. I made a mistake, I never intended for things to get this messed up..."

Twilight's once unconvinced friends and former teacher now showed the two looks of pity and understanding.

"We understand, Twilight." Celestia said compassionately. "We all make mistakes. And so long as you are willing to admit your mistakes, I am willing to help you fix them. I will try to find a way to get the boy sent back home. You both have been through enough."

Celestia came over to Twilight and the boy and hugged them both under her right wing. Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie, Fluttershy, and Spike all smiled affectionately at the sight.

"I guess it just goes to show you…" Pinkie said.

"Show us what?" the others replied.

"That so long as we're willing to listen to each other and work together...we can pull anything off!" Pinkie exclaimed.

"Aawww…" the others went upon hearing Pinkie's heartwarming message.

However, they soon realized that within the heartwarming message, was another bad pun on the situation…

"D'AAWW!" they all groaned.

The End.

[Metal Snake]

Now that I've posted three fairly new stories that I intended to be good...I think it's time I post a fairly old story that I intended to be bad. In a so bad, it's funny way, but still. Yeah, I'm sort of an ex-troll author. I apologize in advance to Fa if he reads this, but please remember, I was young. This was the most popular trollfic I wrote, an Ace Attorney story.

Story: Phoenix White: Justifications of Justice!

Original Post Date: July 2nd, 2012

Phoenix White: Right and Blue, The Justifications of Justice! by CloudMistDragon

Phoenix White trembled in fear fearfully as he standed in both the defendant's stand and sat on the defense attorney's bench (what else would you do on a bench) at the same time. He had to defend himself once again, for once again, for his mentor Mia Fey had been murdered once more, and once more, he had been suspected thanks to Mr. White once again.

How did it all happened...?

Phoenix Wright was looking at his e-mails on the computer when the mailman slided a letter through the throrough mailbox slot in an electronic manner (robotic mailmen are possible in the future). He picked it up and redd it.

"I'M IN YOUR HOUSE," the letter read evilly, "YOU JUST HAVE TO LET ME IN."

At that momentous, the door opened and it was...APRIL MAY!

"What are you doing here, April?" Phoenix gasped with air. "I thought you were in the big house in jail for hacking a website through Maya's phone!"

"On the day of my release, I breaked out just for you big brother!" April May pounced and sunk her cat claws into Phoenix's chest like a brother.

"What do you mean if you meant that?" Phoenix debated. "I thought you hated me, we're not family!"

"Oh yes we are," April made, "we used to be Mr. White, the president of BlueCorp's pets. We were a cat and a bird, and you were my big brother, best friend forever! LIKE A CATS AND A MOUSE WE DID EVERYTHING TOGETHER TILL YOU DIED. That's enough to make me forget the hate. But through the power of future science, we became human!"

"NNNNNNNNOOOOOOO!" Phoenix writed like paper. "Why didn't I remembered recalling this?"

"Because you have a bird brain, silly." April flirted like a straw. "The reason I remember this is because...I just...REMEMBER YOU KNOW! But that's not important, since Mr. White is dedd like the color read now, there is no one to run BlueCorp! White didn't have any children or friends or co-workers or strangers, so he left everything to his pets. You must take over BlueCorp Phoenix! It is your destiny!"

Phoenix agreed, for he couldn't argue destiny, the same way he was destined to defend his clients, so he left a suspicious message to Maya asking her to buy miak so she wouldn't get suspicious. He renamed BlueCorp WhiteCorp, because his true last name was now White, and he didn't use blueish blackmail to ruler over the authorities, he used whitemail. That meant he bribed them with money, cars, and doggie treats. He didn't have to be a lawyer anymore, because he was rich now and the law was changed to "innocent until proven guilty", which meant that everyone was now innocent. Authorities didn't have to arrested people anymore because they were already innocent before trial started, so they couldn't be proven guilty. Everything was going great, until MAYA RETURNED HOME FROM THE STORE. Phoenix thanked her, and then sent her out to buy milk from Japan, a long walk away from California. Because Maya was too preoccupied thinking about burgers, she agreed.

Miawhile, Phoenix was planning to use the miak (SEE IT WASN'T A TYPO, HA HA FAT CHANCE) for something evil...He was going to use it to bring Mia Fey back to life with science! But when Mia came back to life, she tripped over desk and fell out the window and onto a fire hydrant, and was run over by an ambulance, and PHOENIX WAS RESPONSIBLE. He tried to say that he was innocent until proven guilty, but the fact that someone was died proved that he was guilty like a fishy bird.

So that is what happens...NOW RESUMING COURT.

Because of the amount of evil evilled in Phoenix's evil crime of neglected stupidity, three prosecutors were resigned to the assignment of the case, Winston Payne, Miles Edgeworth, and Franziska von Karma, all sitting on the prosecutor's bench.

"COURT IS NOW IN THE RECESSION WHICH IS LIKE RECESS BUT RECESS IS OVER, SO COURT IS IN SESSION!" the judge proclaimed.

"THE PROSECUTION IS READY AND REQUESTS NOT TO BE BADGERED BY PHOENIX BECAUSE HE IS GUILTY AND THE PROSECUTION IS NOT AND THE GUILTY DON'T HAVE A WRITE TO OBJECT ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE ABLE TO BE GUILTY ENOUGH TO BE GUILTY EVEN UNDER THE INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY LAW!" the prosecution apertured.

"HOLD THE OBJECTION! IT HOLDS!" Phoenix held the power in his finger. "Judge, this explanation doesn't obey the laws of physics and it's kinda illogical!"

"The court does not concern itself with gravity Phoenix unless it holds water!" the Judge said lofty. "The prosecution's logic is odd, but it's scientific, and scientific is always logic, so it's sort of correct! YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO MAKE ANY MORE OBJECTIONS UNTIL THE END OF-OWWWW!"

"DO NOT SPEAK THE TRUTH PRUDENT PRUDE OF WISE DECISIONS!" Franziska said as she whipped the judge. "IT IS REDUNDANT, FOR THE TRUTH IS ALREADY IN THE OPEN AIR, AND IT'S FLOATING OVER PHOENIX'S FACE!"

"Hey, there's air in your face too you air-headed candy belt!" Phoenix thought.

"You are doing a good job Phoenix...but you are also doing a bad job!" Edgeworth initialized like his ME (not the malevolent entity kind, hisself).

Edgeworth felt sorry for Phoenix, because he was his friend, but he was also his enemy, so he had to be mean and nice to Phoenix simultaneously to make everything good work!

"Anyways, the prosecution has three witnesses it would like to call to the stand." Winston bolded with his bald hair and bold statement. "Rich Wellington, Moe the Clone, and Matt Engarde."

"WAIT A MINNIE MOUSE (You're getting warmer...HEE HEE HEE)!" the judge shouted. "All those convicts you listed...are convicted criminals! And they're in jail!"

"They were in prison my honor's your honor." Edgeworth venerated. "But they are all witnesses who knew about the crime and even thought they don't know the exact details of the crime, their imagination is strong enough for them to envision EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED ON THE SCENE EVEN THOUGH THEY DIDN'T SEE IT."

"Wow, truth really is stranger than fiction!" the slow judge fantasized rapidly.

"What is this, Aesop's Fables?" Phoenix commentaryed in his thoughts.

"But wait, how are they out of prison?" the judge asked.

"With the growing power of the authorities, the prosecution had enough authority to give shovels, drills, saws, spoons, and doggie treats to the convicts so they could break out of prison." Edgeworth explained.

"Wow, you prosecutors are nice." the judge admired. "You even give treats to the most unforgivable of people."

"Yes, everyone loves a Teacher's lone wolf." Phoenix Hungaryed in his thoughts.

"Anyway, the prosecution calls it's first-OWWW!" shouted Winston Payne.

"FOOLISH DOCTOR WHO HAS A HOUSE AS FOOLISHLY HEAVY AS A PAINFUL BROMANCE WITH NURSES AND MOTHERLY MEDICS FOOLISH AS SWEET HOME." Franziska spouted out some blackly funny black comedy. "We don't know need to call witnesses to the stand, it is a redundant method most redundant, for I have made things simpler by CALLING THEM ON THE PHONE BEFORE CALLING THEM. Rich Wellington, come!"

"My name is what the prosecutor just titled," Rich Wellington sucked down, "and I am the second greatest rated person in the world next to Johann Sebastian Bach, meaning I am a second-rate rich kid compared to you first-rate foals. Now as for the testimony-YYYYY!"

Rich Wellington choked himself to death with his teas until he was dead, and fell over and died.
Everyone gasped for air.

"HE'S DEAD AND NO ONE KNOWS WHY, SO SOMEONE EXPLAIN WHY!" the judge commanded.

"We don't know, but the show must go on!" Edgeworth proclaimed as he knew all about movies, stages, plays, ballets, and the courtroom. "Our next witness, Moe the Clone, whose clone (think science!) can only be seen here, for the real one was put in prison again after his release for disturbing the peace!"

Moe the Clone came on the stage.

"I AM MOE THE CLOWN," Moe pressed his buttons, "AND I OWN A TAVERN! AHA AHA AHA! GET IT, IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE IT'S A SIMPSONS REFEREE AND I HEAR THAT SHOW IS REALLY FUNNY SO I'M FUNNY!"

"It seems this witness makes unfunny jokes whenever his buttons are pressed," Franziska pushed her weight, "SO IF YOU PRESS HIM MR. PHOENIX WHITE, HE COULDN'T HELP IT, IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT! (I SHIT YOU NOT, THIS IS THE REASONING THEY USE IN THE GAME).

"FAULTS ARE FUNNY, ESPECIALLY IF THEY'RE IN ROADS AND PEOPLE!" Moe punned horribly as he made a terrible pun about big turncoat t-shirts. He then laughed until he died.

"THESE ARE SOME OF THE WORST TESTIMONIES I'VE EVER TESTIFIED TO MY EARS, BECAUSE THEY DON'T EXIST, WHAT IS HAPPENING?" the judge demanded an answer.

"We are not in the zenith of knowing, but we must continue even to nadir!" Edgeworth reasoned. "Proceed to the final witness, Matt Engarde!"

"ON GUARD!" Matt banzaied like a cat (YOU'RE IN THE FURNACE!) with his aluminum sword made of nickel. "I-"

Just as he began the testimony, he accidently swung the sword into his head, severing into a part of his face, leaving a huge cut, and killing him as nickels flew out of the peeled graping cut.

"I IS INDEED," the judge willed. "I DON'T SEE AN I THAT CAN BE SEEN BY AN ALL KNOWING EYE IN THIS LACK OF EYE-OPENING TESTIMONY! NOW THERE ARE NO WITNESSES LEFT! I SHALL HAVE TO POSTPONE THIS TRIAL UNTIL TOMORR-"

"HOLD IT!" DRUM DRUM DRUM drummed in everyone's ear drum as Franziska made music with her words.

"THE PROSECUTION DOES NOT WANT TO INVESTIGATE FOR ANOTHER DAY BECAUSE IT'S BORING AND WE LIKE SHOUTING MORE, SO JUST IN CASE WE COULD NOT GATHER RELIABLE WITNESSES, THE PROSECUTION HAVE FORGED SOME PLAUSIBLE ALIBIS AND TRUE EVIDENCE STRAIGHT FROM THE PROSECUTION!" Franziska applauded herself.

"Very well," the judge replied, "I'm not a big fan of forgeries, but if they're true and for justice, THEN EVERYTHING IS CORRECTION."

"First, the lullaby that will put the criminal to sleep in more ways than one," Franziska hushed. "PHOENIX WHITE HAS GROWN SO POWERFUL OVER A RULER OF THE AUTHORITIES THAT HE IS BECOME A DEITY. HE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEATH OF EVERY MORTAL BEING IN THE UNIVERSE ACCOUNTED, EVEN THE ONES WHO ARE IRRECOUNTABLE. HE BROUGHT MIA FEY BACK TO LIFE BECAUSE HE LOVED HER AND HE WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO KNEW SHE WAS ALIVE, THEREFORE, HE'S THE ONLY ONE WHO HAD A MOTIVE TO KILL HER, THE DEMONIC DEMON."

"What reasoning is that, you try being the deity of the world!" Phoenix DeifyfienFeenPhoened.

"YOUR ACCOUNT COUNTS FOR RESPONSIBLE THINKING, FRANZISKA," the judge numbered the days. "But you're going to need a presentation of presentable proof."

"I do..." Franziska got out a scrap of paper with the words "PROOF THE DEFENDANT KNOWN AS PHOENIX WHITE IS GUILTY" (It worked with griffins and chimaeras faces in books, and this pun is a draconequestria of a lot of different things) written on it and presented it to the court. "Here is the finishing blow, you broken combination!"

"Hmm..." the judge thought decisively. "THIS PROOF HAS PROOF WRITTEN ALL OVER THE PAPER AND IN THE PUDDING. I THINK THIS IS ENOUGH TO MAKE MY VERDICT!"

"No, judge please!" Phoenix pleaded. "I know I'm too late, but it's not too late!"

"Sorry Phoenix," the judge condolenced, "but you are..."

"HOLD IT!" BOOM BANG BEES exploded the courtroom walls and everyone was sucked inside Phoenix's head.

"Neither innocent or guilty." Mia replied as she appeared and the landscape became clouded with clouds (YOU'RE CELESTIAL!).

"Mia!" Phoenix shouted. "You're alive three times now! What happens, this did not make sense!"

"Phoenix, the courtroom never existed, because you are a mouse!" Mia surmised. "You were not Mr. White's pet bird, you were his pet mouse and you got killed by his pet cat April May! That is why we were all so catty and mousey, because you imagined us all!"

"HOLD IT!" Phoenix realized. "Then that must mean that we're in..."

"Heaven." Mia augusted. "The place where everyone has an overactive imagination because they get bored of being dead, the only place where you could've imagined that you were a bird and a defense attorney and a mythical creature!"

THE END.

"NO! This can't be! I objection to this ending!" Phoenix objected. "The ending is never ended!"

Then it was all final.

[Metal Snake]

I hope you all like a mix of the old and the new, because this next new story was actually inspired by an old one I wrote. What is it? You'll find out soon...but for now, enjoy reading the insane ramblings of the sun horse...

Story: Princess Celestia Goes Crazy

Original Debut Date: February 2nd, 2016

"DON'T LET THE SUN...GO DOWN ON ME!" the princess of the sun shouted loudly. "SANG ELTON JOHN LENNON!"

That's what said princess, Princess Celestia, standing outside on her castle's balcony, yelled as she lowered the sun that night...only to raise it right back up. Then she lowered it again...only to raise it back up again…

She continued to lower it and raise it, eventually beginning to do so so quickly that the light from the sun began to shine on and off in Equestria like a flashlight. Civilians from all over took notice and were confused.

"LOVING THE DAY-TO-NIGHT SYSTEM, EQUESTRIA?!" Princess Celestia then bellowed so loudly, her voice echoed, and was heard by two guards in her castle standing watch in the hall leading to the balcony. Puzzled, they ran out to where Celestia was.

"Your Majesty," said the soldiers, "we mean not to be intrusive, rather we humbly ask for…"

The soldiers paused when they saw what Celestia was doing with the sun. They became further concerned with the situation at hand when Celestia...let the sun go down, turning to them and giving them a devious smile.

"...Intrusive? Humbly ask?" Celestia said. "I'm not interested in anything you're selling, YOU BURGLARS!"

"But...we're not salesmen…" the guards replied, feeling somewhat scared now. What had happened to their fair and sound ruler?

"That's what they all say!" Celestia shouted. "And then the MONTHLY PAYMENTS COME IN! WHY DO I HAVE TO KEEP PAYING FOR MY MISTAKES?! CAN'T WE JUST SETTLE IT ALL OVER A CUP OF TEA?!"

A yellow aura of magic then began to glow around Celestia's horn, as well as around the more frightened than ever guards.

"Y-Your Majesty!" the soldiers cried. "Please forgive us for whatever we did! Please do not harm us!"

"Harm you?!" Celestia cried in response. "I'm just trying to HELP YOU put the TEA in my TEA PARTY!"

With that, Celestia used her magic to transform one of the guards into a teapot full of tea, and the other into a teacup on a tea plate. She then levitated the teapot, pouring tea into the teacup, then levitated the teacup over to her mouth and took a sip.

"IT TASTES LIKE HOT WATER!" she yelled after tasting it. "I LIKE THE TROUBLE WE PUT THE HERBS IN TO MAKE IT THOUGH!"

Levitating the teapot, teacup, and tea plate down to the ground, Celestia began to laugh maniacally. Now completely insane, she was ready to put all of Equestria in hot water…

"I'M NO SUPERMAN, YOU SCRUBS! I'm serious, you make great sponges!" she screamed happily as she leaped off the edge of the balcony, and then flew away in a Superman-esque pose.

After she had left, Princess Luna, unaware of the lunacy that had transpired, came out to the balcony to raise the moon when she saw the tea set laying on the floor. Curious, she poured herself a cup and drank it.

"By my sister's mane, this is marvelous!" she exclaimed a laudatory remark. "The toil and trouble our subjects must have gone through to prepare this!"

"Tell me about it…" the transformed, yet still sentient guards thought.

Back with Celestia, she was still flying in a Superman-esque pose when something hit her…

"OW!" she cried in pain as a bird hit her in the face. "HORSEFEATHERS IF EARTH PONIES AND UNICORNS WERE BIRDS AND PLANES! Hey, that gives me an idea..."

Celestia then flew out into outer space and looked at the earth.

"I can go back in time now!" she proclaimed as she started flying around the earth, causing it to spin. Soon, the earth stopped spinning (but kept slowly rotating), and Celestia flew back to Equestria...to see that everything was the same.

"Now that I've finished paying homage to Superman, I can start paying homage to ARNOLD SCHWARZINATOR!" she yelled as she put on a pair of black sunglasses and conjured a spell that allowed her to go back in time to the day she was born.

Yesterday, in a hospital in Equestria…

Celestia's mother was lying in a hospital bed when the doctor came in, holding a newborn Princess Celestia, wrapped in a white blanket. In spite of just being born, her unicorn horn was the same size as it is now.

"Congratulations, Mrs. Soluna." the doctor said to her. "You gave birth to a healthy baby girl with an abnormally large horn."

"Aww…" Mrs. Soluna went as she stared at her daughter's eyes. "She looks so precious. I have to hold her in my forelegs…"

But having a lapse of judgement, Mrs. Soluna tried to grab her daughter by wrapping her forelegs around her instead of using levitation magic, and Princess Celestia fell on the hospital floor. She fell on her horn and half of it broke off. As the piece of her horn that broke off rolled over to her, she looked at it and began laughing.

And laughing.

For years. She didn't stop laughing until one day, when she was seven years old watching a funny TV show…

"And NOW," announced a cartoonish voice on the TV Celestia was staring into as she sat on a big, black leather chair, "it's time for The Jellywellies Murder Each Other with Power Tools & Learn Why They Shouldn't Do That!"

On the show, a blue anthropomorphic gummy bear, wearing a sack that had two holes cut into it so that he could see over his head, was revving up a chainsaw. When he finished revving it, he whacked the cycling teeth of it into the neck of a green anthropomorphic gummy bear who had brown hair in a side-part hairstyle...only for the teeth to get stuck in the middle of his neck, causing the chainsaw to stop working. The blue gummy bear and the green gummy bear both stared at the nonoperating chainsaw with a look of apathy before the blue one said…

"Well, that was pointless."

"This fighting is pointless." the green one said. "I can't believe it ever came to this."

"Me neither," replied the blue one, "let's make up and love each other again."

"Agreed." the green one happily concurred as they both smiled and hugged each other. Princess Celestia's dad, who had been watching the show from the kitchen, was not happy…

"Oh my YOU!" he shouted at his soon-to-be god daughter. "YOU ARE NOT WATCHING THIS SHIT!"

He ran into the TV room and flipped the chair his daughter was sitting on over. Princess Luna, who had been playing with her blocks in the TV room, saw what her father did and started laughing.

"Shut the hell up!" Celestia's father yelled at Luna. "It's not funny! I just abused your sister! You're laughing at child abuse! YOU'RE SCUM! YOU DESERVE TO DIE!"

Luna started crying after she heard that and so did Celestia.

"*sniff* *sob* I wish I could just close my eyes and open them to find that this has all gone away…" Celestia said sadly as she shut her eyes. When she opened them again…

...she was back where she was in Equestria after she had put on her sunglasses. She had never gone back in time and was just having a hallucination as a symptom of her schizophrenia.

"...That worked well." she said, not realizing that what she had just experienced wasn't real. "Yet I feel...unsatisfied. Like I have unresolved issues with my family…"

Celestia then looked out over the land she was flying over and grinned deviously once again as she remembered her other family…

"If I could never make my blood family happy…" she told herself. "...then I'll do the next best thing...MAKE MY FRIEND FAMILY HAPPY!"

Celestia then flew down towards Ponyville and made a landing in town square. She made a maniacal grin as she gazed upon the civilians there.

"I hope none of you are afraid of...BIG BROTHER!" she shouted as she blasted a beam of magic from her horn at a random stallion and transformed him into a football. Witnessing this, the townsponies screamed and hollered in fear and began to run away.

"The p-p-p-p-princess has cracked!" another stallion exclaimed. "We have to g-g-g-g-get out of-WAAAH!"

The stallion's words were interrupted by Celestia seizing him with her magic and lifting him over to her.

"WHAT ARE YOU SO SCARED OF?!" she yelled at him. "DON'T YOU WANT ME TO B-B-B-B-BE YOUR NANA?!"

With that, Celestia used her magic to transform him into a banana. She then zapped a mare who was running by, transforming her into a pair of knees.

"NIECE TO SEE YOUR KNEES!" Celestia bellowed. She then trapped another stallion in the vicinity with her magic, levitated him over to her with her magic and told him…

"SAY UNCLE!"

"Mercy! MERCY!" the stallion pleaded.

"I SAID GRANDPA!" she shouted as she transformed him into a pair of antlers. "DEERS DON'T HAVE UNCLES!"

Surveying all the chaos she had caused, Celestia let out a laugh that sounded like the guffaw of a madman. Eventually, witnesses of her nefarious deeds in town spread word to the other higher-ups, and Princess Luna and Princess Twilight Sparkle, both deeply concerned and distraught, arrived at the scene to find Celestia sitting on a cloud and staring at Rainbow Dash, who was bound by Celestia's magic.

"NNAGH!" Rainbow Dash grunted. "What the horseshoes has gotten into you?! Let me go!"

"Well you know what they say!" Celestia replied. "When you gotta go, you GOT A TACO!"

Upon saying that, Celestia transformed Rainbow Dash into a taco, then laughed as she bounced on the cloud to make it rain taco sauce.

"Sister, what be the meaning of this?!" Luna demanded an answer.

"Transform Rainbow back to normal right now!" Twilight shouted. "I can't even believe this! Why are you doing this?!"

"I JUST WANT TO SEE THE WORLD BE PROVIDED WITH HIGH-QUALITY ENTERTAINMENT!" Celestia answered. "LUCKILY, I'M A FAMILY GUY! HA HA HA HA HA!"

Tears came out of Luna and Twilight's eyes as they watched Celestia laugh insanely. They knew she was gone…

"Sister…" Luna said somberly. "We have a warrant issued for your arrest. Under penalty of terrorizing innocent civilians, you are to be taken into custody by us."

"It pains us to do this, but we've been left with no other options." Twilight told her former mentor sadly as she cast a magic spell that made handcuffs made out of purple magic appear around Celestia's front hooves. "We have to take you away."

"FOOLS!" Celestia cried. "You think YOU can take me away?! Only I can take me away! I'LL PUT A STOP TO YOUR SCHEME NOW AND FOREVER!"

Luna and Twilight begrudgingly prepared themselves for a fight as Celestia cast a magic spell that...teleported her to the confines of a rubber room in a mental hospital. Using her magic to make a straitjacket appear around her body, she mocked Luna and Twilight, who were watching from the window in her room.

"HA HA HA HA HA! JUST TRY TAKING ME AWAY NOW! You can't take me here if I'm already here! SO HA! AND WAH! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!"

Luna and Twilight then looked at each other and began pondering.

"Well…" Luna said. "At least she can not do harm unto herself or the innocent any longer…"

"And maybe one day…" Twilight chimed in. "She'll get better…"

The two then turned around and began to walk away.

"I only wonder what will happen concerning the issue of who will raise the sun every morning now…" Luna said.

Unbeknownst to her, however, the night had just ended. The time for day was now. Knowing this, Celestia, though still confined in her room, used her magic to raise the sun in the sky...for real this time. She then winked…

...before shouting, "I'M STILL CRAZY!"

[Metal Snake]

As promised, here it is. This is the first story I'm going to be posting here that will be divided into chapters, as well as the first story that has a long backstory behind it. It's the first sequel to Fluttershy's Dark Sky, the existence of which I have winked at several times in the past. I never posted it nor its successor here prior because I felt that neither would appeal to fans of the original, unlike Awakening Fluttershy's Dark Sky. Awakening was written to be a serious story with some comedic batshit insanity in between. The two sequels that came before it on the other hand, were not serious. They were written as jokes. The latter of the sequels, Lightening Fluttershy's Dark Sky, did attempt to evolve more into a seriously written story after the first three chapters, but the former one that I'm going to post right now...is completely nuts.

When I wrote it back in 2012, my writing style was very different, and so were my goals. After writing several short trollfics, I wanted to write one that was really long and have every single part of it be funny, literally. I thought what drew fans to the original was the goofy, trippy nature of it, and thought that if I made a sequel that was as funny and crazy as possible, it would be a smash success. I turned out to be very wrong, as it ended up becoming the black sheep of the Dark Sky series, the least popular and most poorly received entry.

I know all of that sounds like an anti-advertisement, but I'm not posting the story here to rake in hits. I'm posting it because I want to see what other people think and I realize that if I don't give the people here who like my stories a chance to look at where I feel I've gone wrong in my writing career, then I'm not being fair. Of course, if you just want to read the story and have a laugh, disregard all this and carry on...

Story: Transcending Fluttershy's Dark Sky

Original Debut Date: July 26th, 2012 (Ended September 7th, 2012)

Chapter 1 of 7: The Dark Ascension of Sky

The story of Fluttershy's dark sky is over. The time has come...to go to another world. A world that is like this one, but different somehow. A world where human beings and the denizens of Equestria are one and the same. A world that would dare to defy everything logical…

...Why?

Though insane, the ruler of this world, Princess Celestia, tries to explain the origin of it all...

"In the beginning, there was nothing but nothing. But that nothing soon created a deity, and that deity turned the nothing into the something which became the souls of all things, and because there was no such thing as evil, the souls were all good. The deity created morals, and everyone practiced and trusted the morality.

However, that was until the forces of insanity commanded the deity's daughter to create immorality, and turn some of the souls into evil spirits. At first, good and evil were friendly rivals, until the mysterious element of entropy caused the rivalry to decay from fun to destruction. The one responsible for creating this element was none other than the deity's daughter's son...the creator of the universe's dark sky.

And the event that would lead to the inevitable destruction of the world all started with an unusual event in the world...someone woke up."

Transcending...

"Uh...something's strange..." said the some one who woke up. "Hey, I'm awake! How is this possible? The only answer is that I must have fallen asleep and woken up..."

The person was in a bedroom lying on a bed covered in empty beer bottles that he had been lying on.

"These empty bottles don't have anything in them..." said the person, "why do they exist? Why do I exist? I should find the answer, it might be interesting."

The person decided that that would be his motive for getting out of the bed. When he got out of the bed, he saw a mysterious note on a computer desk that laid near the bed.

"Should I read this mysterious note?" he asked as the atmosphere around him changed into that of mystery. "I don't want it to create a mystery that will cloud my memory and make me forget about the other question I had in mind."

"YOU MUST READ IT." whispered a voice in his head. "It provides all the answers..."

"Well if I must read it, then I guess it's a requirement." he said as he chose to read the note.

The writing inscribed on the note read:

"Dear My Foolish Son,

Hello Honey! I am your mother, and you are my son. I am an alicorn, a winged horse with a big long horn on her head, and you are a human. The reason we are so different is because I not only adopted you as my own, I gave birth to you as well. The reason you can not see me is because I am not here. I am at your school teaching you, considering that you're coming to school to learn about how to evolve from your teacher like a normal kid. I guess I can forgive you if you are late, for you drank too much beer, caught alcohol poisoning, died last night, and forced me to give birth to you again behind my back. That'll teach you to play too much Amnesia on your computer, because now you also have amnesia because you're just that forgetful. Oh well, it's memories under a lane sign now, but I will say this to help you. My name is Celestia, and your name is Sky.

Yours is Truly,

...You Nothing"

"Hmm...if this letter is true, it can only be inferred that I have a mother and she's a winged horse with a horn on her head," he said to himself, "I died last night, I played something called Amnesia I am Honey, I'm a human, and my name is Sky...what do all these things mean?"

The Second Dark Sky: Transcending Fluttershy's Dark Sky

Sky then noticed something else on the computer desk, it was a copy of the computer game Amnesia: The Dark Descent, and there was an advertisement to download it online on the back of the box.

"I guess I play this computer game a lot on the computer, I wonder if I should download it." he wondered about how to solve a solution.

He also noticed that there was a television in the room that said "CELESTIA IS WATCHING YOU" on the screen.

"She's watching me too?" Sky remarked. "I wonder if she can see what I'm doing and saying. I better get to school if that's the case."

Sky noticed that the only way to get to this school was to leave the room. As he left, he had to walk down the stairs, as his room in this house was on the second floor.

"These stairs descend for an eternity down to the floor," Sky pondered. "I wonder where they lead..."

Sky walked down the stairs in a foreboding manner, as the atmosphere of the universe turned from mystery to horror...

"I guess leaving the room wasn't enough to solve the head of my problems," Sky said like a plant that Christopher Walken rooted in a red field to give to his sweetheart on Valentine's Day. "I guess the school is somewhere outside of the house."

Sky opened the front door, but he did not find the school. All he could find was the ponies. There were earth ponies with four arms (their legs are actually arms, because unlike legs, all their body parts can be used to grab and punch things while kicking if you know what I mean) walking around and getting their hooves dirty. The unicorns were driving in cars and texting on their cell phones as the pegasi were making smog and air pollution in the air so they could have enough dirt to bury dead ponies in the sky so they could be like beautiful rainbows.

"Wow, there's ponies with arms and unicorns driving in cars and pegasi making graves in the sky so that there can be rainbows," Sky looked at the world as he walked out of the house, "I wonder what it means."

"Well, I don't how to get to the school," Sky said as he noticed the sidewalk that was a line that ended with a curve, "but that sidewalk looks like it's a line about to turn into a circle, so I assume I will have to walk in circles until I reach my destination."

So Sky walked around in a linear manner as well as in a circular motion until he bumped into one of the earth ponies.

"Hey, watch where you're going..." the earth pony took notice of Sky's appearance. "You have arms and legs and you use them to walk...you're...YOU'RE A HUMAN! Everyone...THERE'S A HUMAN IN THE HUMAN WORLD!"

All the ponies stopped and stared at the alien human in shock.

"Wait, that's where I am, the human world?" Sky realized where he was. "That's strange, I didn't know there were horses, ponies, and cars in the human world."

"GO BACK TO EQUESTRIA YOU WORTHLESS BRONY WANNABE!" the earth pony pulled a pistol-resembling shotgun out of his fur where his pants were supposed to be and pointed it at Sky. "YOU BETTER RUN BACK THERE LIKE YOU'VE GOT A SPACE SHUTTLE IN YOUR PANTS BEFORE I BLOW YOUR HEAD TO THE MOON!"

"You're gonna send my head to the moon?" Sky saw the murderous intent in the earth pony's eyes. "What about the rest of me?"

"You dare question me at a time like this?!" the earth pony questioned Sky's stupidity. "That's it! PREPARE TO-"

Suddenly, the gun exploded and the earth pony's head was blown off. When it fell to the floor, he finished his sentence, "-die."

"He blew his head off and died?" Sky said in confusion. "Did he kill himself?"

The crowd gasped in horror.

"I AM CELESTIA," a mist that resembled Celestia that came out of Sky's head spoke, "AND YOU FOOLISH IDIOTS WILL NOT HURT MY SON."

"No..." one of the earth ponies said, "that human asking questions at the most inappropriate time, his moronic and redundant words, Celestia saying that he's her son...THAT HUMAN IS CELESTIA'S SON!"

"So this mist is my mother?" Sky wondered. "Weird, I thought that winged horse in the letter was my mother."

"We have to like, run out of like here ASAP, like, AS SOON AND AS FAST AS POSSIBLE!" a unicorn shouted like a legendary horse who was a kidnapped princess that liked shielding pigs and gelatin as she walked and drove her car at the same time to create the thesis of running.

As they ran away, the mist teleported Sky to where the school was.

"Wow, I'm finally here," Sky said surprised that he had reached such a distant place in such a short period of time with teleportation. "I guess this school is both really close and really far away at the same time."

Sky opened the front door and walked into the school, where he noticed that it had walls, a ceiling, and a floor just like the room and the house that he woke up in, as well as a bunch of broken computers scattered across the floor.

"These broken computers don't seem like they'd work that well even if I knew how to use a computer that was busted." he said like a statue that lost its treasure chest and tried to bring chaos by putting a virus in someone's chicken.

As he walked down the hall, he noticed that one of the computers was still on. The screen inside the computer screen showed the words "PLEASE HELP US."

"Wait, us?" Sky nodded his head sideways like a bird's ear. "That's not very good grammar. I can only help the computer that's not broken so it should read ME."

With that word, a sentence was given to sentence all the lights to be sentenced to be turned on and off at the same time as the one activated computer turned on and then off. That could only MEan one thing...there was a ME NEarby, and this malevolent entity would not be nice.

"Wow, there was a blackout," Sky reminded himself as the place brightened up. "I wonder if the lights are on now."

"So like a house, this place has doors too," he said as he examined all the doors that led to rooms. "I wonder if they lead to rooms. I guess then I'll have to get a room to meet my mother and my teacher."

During the eye examination, he noticed that things were going to black and light visions if you know what I mean. One of the rooms containing the flickering lights turned on and flickering on and off.

"Ooooh...I'm feeling like a ghost in here..." a voice from the room said like a poll that used a pole to deter his opponent using ghastly tactics. "You better come in here quick or bust, and be ready to bust."

"Someone's in that room, it must be my mother," Sky surmised as he read the door with glasses that read things like "Celestia's Classroom" and "Lessons being Taught by Celestia". "I wonder who the teacher is though."

Sky walked into the classroom and was surprised to find other living creatures there. There was a woman and an android tied up with ropes in the corner, and the living things that were his classmates were ponies that had fallen asleep in their desks during class.

"Ah, you finally came," a winged horse dressed in a white shirt, black pants, a blazer, a red tie, and glasses with a horn on its head said, "but unfortunately, you're late. I had a fun time teaching all these students a boring lesson on how to wake up, however, it put them to sleep. Glad to see you don't seem to have a problem with those things, so I guess I can teach you a special afterschool lesson instead...my nothing of a son."

"Wait, you're Celestia?" Sky asked Celestia. "But if you're my mother...who is my teacher?"

"Fool..." Celestia laughed. "I may be a winged horse with a horn on its head, your mother, and the creator of all humans, but that doesn't mean I'm not also...YOUR TEACHER! Welcome to the real world of the humans and the dark sky, you foolish boy!"

Sky tried to surmise the situation of what was going on as the horn of Celestia lightened up, foreshadowing the transcendence of Celestia.

[Metal Snake]

Chapter 2 of 7: The Dark Twilight of Celestia

When the flashes of brightening images of imagery that created fantastic mirages of light ended from the horn, Sky saw that Celestia had opened her blazer. Her white shirt now read “TRUE STORY”.

“Ah, it feels great to be a true story!” Celestia said like a myth that had been revealed to be a true fantasy legend by a math wizard. “My life is now complete!”

“I didn’t know true stories were real things!” Sky said in response to this revelation. “I guess people’s lives really are true stories.”

“Wrong...” Celestia rang like a wringer next to a telephone that need to be dried after being run through a river. “You humans are the fakest things to ever grace the truth of mendaciously genuine fiction!”

“I’m fake, does that mean I’m just a lie?” Sky said like a liar who told lies but was not very good at it like a wolf who cried when sheep died and needed to be comforted by hogs who were not that greedy of avarice.

“I can only wish that were the truth...” Celestia had hope in what could be said, “But I’ve grown tired of the truth, it is too...real for my taste. Heh heh...unless the case is that it’s too accurate.”

“What happens when something’s too accurate?” Sky asked. “Does it miss and hit you around your tiredness and make the truth not real enough for you to believe?

“Almost, but not exactly.” Celestia measured as she converted Sky’s words into numbers and punched them into her calculator with her hooves of knowledge. “What I mean is a case like what I did with the human world. I showed you humans for what you truly are, a bunch of talking animals who know how to drive cars and use phones.”

“That’s what humans are?” Sky replied. “Talking animals who can talk and drive? Humans sound pretty awesome!”

“What did you just say?!” Celestia shouted. “You’re a human, but you’re not a horse right now! You were just talking about animals, were you implying that YOU’RE awesome because you’re a human?!”

“Wait, I’m human but I’m not a horse?” Sky inferred the corp like a business man who called people on his phone too much, but turned over a new leaf eventually. “So the body can’t be two things and in two places at once, that’s queer.”

“You straight up erect dick!” Celestia insulted with hatred as she elevated like love. “Don’t you understand? YOU ARE THE WORST HUMAN BEING TO HAVE EVER BEEN BEING EXISTED!”

“The worst human being?” Sky took it to heart. “Wow, I guess I’m kind of a bad person.”

“DON’T EVEN DARE SAY THAT!” Celestia went red, white, blue, and then back to white in her face like the moon. “YOU ARE NOT A HORRIBLE PERSON! YOU...ARE.....NOTHING!”

Celestia breathed rapidly, but eventually got her breath back by taking deep breaths and taking in the gasoline fuel for her lungs shallowly (it had to be shallow, gas is dangerous).

“Heh heh...sorry about that nervous breakdown,” Celestia remorsed without apologizing properly, “I just get a little criminally insane every now and then. I almost forgot about our after-school lesson...which will take place...NOW.”

“The lesson is now?” Sky rescinded, “Wow, time goes by quick. I wonder when school is over, I kinda wanted to learn about how to evolve.”

“Fool...” Celestia jacked like the king of jokers as she unzipped her pants and revealed that she was wearing pregnancy pants. “I’m not going to teach you about evolution...I’m going to teach you...how to CREATE!”

Celestia grabbed the woman and the android that were tied up in the corner, and extended her jaw to a size so big that it was bigger than like, the like universe.

“Wow, your mouth is pretty big,” Sky commented. “You must not like to talk a lot.”

“If I talked too much,” Celestia chuckled, “I wouldn’t have time to show you...THIS!”

Celestia put the woman and the android in her mouth, and she ate them, so that they would be eaten before they were in her stomach. After she had done so, her belly was big and round.

“This is how life is created my son.” Celestia said as Sky noticed that there was something tough, long, straight, and soft in Celestia’s pregnancy pants. It was a computer that was hard, but had a soft screen. “That is how women get pregnant. When they eat a lot of food, the food in their tummies mix, and consequently life is created.”

“I didn’t know it worked like that,” Sky replied, “I guess sex was just invented so men could feel better about themselves.”

“You’re such a remedy-lacking dope.” Celestia laughed wildly like the dodgy queen of the future. “But I’m already getting sick of this sickly diseased nonsense, so I better open my mouth wide just like your doctor...”

And then...Celestia’s hair turned into ropes, just like a Greek goddess who didn’t like discord.

“I shall now eat you and reveal all the secrets of life will be revealed to your face,” Celestia opened her big mouth as she grabbed Sky with her ropes. “Now that I’ve shown you the ropes of creation, I shall now eat you and become pregnant with you. And then we will become as one.”

“You’re going to eat me, does that mean I’m going to be eaten?” Sky shook like peanut brittle. “Sorry Shakespeare, I had all my life that I can’t remember to eat something, and I never took the opportunity to do so. I failed your philosophy.”

“I lied to you in my letter,” Celestia let on like she had come together, “this will be the second time I’ll have given birth to you. Class is dismissed.....and by the way, about this whole thing concerning giving birth...”

Suddenly, a car was thrown through the wall and thrown through the hole that was created and flying through the air, it hit Sky dead on its arrival, and he was dead but free from Celestia.

“Oh no, not again...” Celestia suddenly vomitted, and Sky was reborn from the monster.

“Hey, I’ve been brought back to life,” Sky said upon being puked up by Celestia. “Was I dead?”

“WHO THREW THAT CAR?!” Celestia shouted angrily. “Was it a unicorn? No...that was...Twilight Sparkle, who is coincidentally a unicorn!”

Celestia somehow called it perfectly by coincidence (what a coincidence), as Twilight walked through the hole dressed in a black suit and an eyepatch and armed with a shotgun.

“No my faithless teacher,” Twilight said. “Class just started...”

“YOU IDIOT!” Celestia shouted. “I TOLD YOU...”

Celestia was interrupted as Twilight fired a missile-like bullet with near dismissive inaccuracy. It hit Celestia in the forehead, causing her head to explode in a filthy mess of dirty magazines, as her head is where she hid all her Playboy, and it contained her mind, which was pretty dirty.

“Wow, that’s strange.” Sky said being shocked for the first time in a hundred billion aeons (remember the opening, every soul was created before time was even a thought!).

“Hello, Sky.” Twilight gave the person she saved a death-threatening glare. “I have killed your mother...it is time for you to follow in my footsteps and trust me now.”

“That sounds reasonable, but what’s your name?” Sky asked. “Celestia called you Twilight Sparkle.”

“That’s because it’s my name, Twilight Sparkle.” Twilight revealed her identity. “I am an assassin, the most trusted pony in Equestria. I’m so good at what I do, that ponies trust me even more to protect them than they trust for me to kill others.”

“Wow, you’re even better at doing things outside of your job than your profession,” Sky complimented. “Your employers must really like you.”

“I’m sure they would’ve...” Twilight snickered evilly. “Alright, I’ve been honest with you, can you trust me to take you back to Equestria and raise you to be my apprentice?”

“Sure, I’ll gladly become your apprentice,” Sky agreed, “who knows how much experience I’ve lost by not gaining it over the past hour I’ve been here and especially after I died? But just one and two questions...what’s Equestria and how did I come back to life again?”

“Equestria is your home town where you were born by your mother, Celestia,” Twilight explained. “That corpse lying there that has been killed and has died would have involuntarily kept reviving you as long as she was alive, but she’s dead now.”

“Thanks for answering my questions,” Sky said gratefully, “but unfortunately, I am still a mystery to myself.”

“Oh, I’ll solve that mystery of yourself of yours eventually,” Twilight assured ditzy like a stupid dog that was not courageous enough to live on land and dived under sea to escape life. “Eventually...”

Twilight and Sky both got into the car that Twilight threw, but unfortunately, it wouldn’t start.

“I wish I had a learner’s permit,” Twilight didn’t know how to drive like the other unicorns, “If only I hadn’t wasted my time reading that manual after I stole that driver’s license...”

“I guess we’ll just have to do things manually, sit here and wait until our journey begins.” Sky said stupidly following some basic instructions of life.

“Wait, that’s it, MANUAL!” Twilight said in revelation as she grabbed the instruction manual for the car. “Get out of the car, I know what to do!”

Both of them got out of the car as Twilight’s mouth extended a long way, just like Celestia’s.

“Just like Celestia taught me...” Twilight muttered as she ate both the car and the instruction manual, “Mix two objects together inside of you...DOWNGRADE FUSION!”

Something came out of Twilight’s pants, and it was...a living car (living cars are a downgrade from dead cars, because dead cars can be driven, and living ones can’t, they drive themselves)!

“You must use your seat to carry us to a new world!” Twilight carried on like a marshmallow man lifting a cactus as she and Sky got back in the motor vehicle. The living car did as it was instructed, for it was infused with the instruction manual, and followed all the rules of the road, so he allowed the maternal strangers inside of him and they drove away from the school.

“Wow, we’re inside of a living car, and the car is alive!” he shouted as they got on the road. “How did you do that?”

“The power of creation,” Twilight replied, “when a female mare eats two objects, they polymerize together inside their pink manly freemans to form a product that’s goodlinessly inferior to the two components. It really is a great way to create life, and it helps bring down the food bills when times are tough back in Equestria.”

“Oh, now this all makes sense.” Sky sensed the falsely true antilogic in the air, for back at the school, something back at the school not so normally was happening in succession. Celestia’s head regenerated, and detached itself from her body. She could do it because she was not Celestia, she was a magic robot that Celestia sent to the human world to do her dirty work for her. And being that the android was manufactured in a dirty, cold, uncaring factory under Celestia’s management, it had Celestia’s heart, mind and soul poured into it, meaning only one thing. The robot was filled with destruction in its heart...ITS CHEST WAS FILLED WITH BOMBS.

Celestia’s horn lit up again, and it stole all the knowledge that was in the learning school, giving her enough power to fire an exploding magic volatile blast with explosive power at the explosive TNT inside her body, which exploded and created a huge explosion that destroyed the school and killed everyone but her, because the knowledge of power protected her. Celestia’s head chased after the others, as the bored ghosts of the bored student slept on the ground, as the boredom of Celestia’s terse lesson was so tediously short, it bored their souls like a boring machine going through a training drill in boarding school.

“Since Equestria is in another world, we’ll have to travel across the world for quite a long time before we reach another universe.” Twilight elaborated.

“Wow, that’s pretty far away,” responded Sky, “if only it were close by as well, then we could just teleport there.”

“Yeah, if only we could make that happen.” Twilight laughed.

“NOT SO FAST FOR FUTILITY, ARE WE?!” the robotic head of Celestia shouted as it fired magic at the car to impede their pointless efforts.

“Oh speed!” Twilight yelled hastily. “Get out of your edicted stupidity, you broken crystal!”

“Silence, you factual myths!” Celestia fired her magical tour of known facts at the car, “I’ll get you stoned, you geographical languages of landmarks of the future!”

“Not in your childhood dreams, you ghost of the first fantasized Thanksgiving!” Twilight shouted as she made the vehicle go faster despite its injury.

“You broken English arts!” Celestia tried to soften them up by breaking them with statues that she blasted from her horn. “I’ll send you to a school bought with foreign money exchanged with the native’s language!”

The living car dodged the donning aurora blasts that dawned on him, as the innocent bystander’s brains cracked at the sight, as they started wondering if they were on crack.

“I hope my mother doesn’t destroy the car,” Sky showed concern, “I don’t want the car to get hurt or destroyed.”

“Keep the quiet concerns to the carried lingering remainder of yourself, it provides innumerable challenges to my ears! Can we pleadingly lower the volume please?!” Celestia shouted as she fired rectangles from her horn at the height of the battle’s climax, causing the lengths and the widths of the universe to multiply diversely and spread beyond the boundaries of fruitfulness like a motley-loving gopher. Speaking of boundaries, the car was about to approach an impending bridge, that failed to connect the boundaries of water beneath, as well as the aperture of the other side, for it was broken.

“HOLD IT THE MUSTARD YOU PICKLED HOTDOGS!” the hotheaded Celestia barked like a dog who had lived in Alaska too long as she fired hot dogs from the school cafeteria at them, relishing them with mustard while she tried to catch up.

“E!N!O!U!G!H! W!I!T!H! T!H!E! S!H!O!U!T!I!N!G!!” Twilight exclaimed while pausing and interjecting to intensify and transition her points as the car drove into the hole of the bridge.

“The car is about to submerge us and drown us in water,” Sky looked at the scenario through a descending perspective as the car fell. “Are we going to die and fall?”

“NO...” Twilight took a stand as she leaned out the window with a squirt gun in hand that she pulled out from her black uniform. “We will not fall to what we can hear.....but we will waterfall to what we can hear!”

With that, Twilight fired a universal mass of water that was the size of the universe at the ocean. It was a squirt gun that shoots tidal waves!

“THE GRAPE KAMIKAZE!” the car shouted feeling like a peeled grape under the pressure of the water and the suicide as the vehicle floated up to the surface in the water. There was so much water that it created a universal flood!

“No...the arc has...” Celestia said her last words as she used the last of her magic powers to protect one place in the human world from this disaster that drowned every pony-turned human and living thing in the world except for Sky and Twilight who had stopped the water from destroying the car thanks to magic, and the Japanese...it was Japan.

“Wow, everyone in the world is dead,” Sky noticed that the graves in the sky were multiplying as ghosts appeared everywhere. “Were you and the water the ones that killed them? I don’t why but I just feel...that that feels wrong.”

“Killing and dying are two different things my friend.” Twilight explained with an evil smirk. “People don’t die when they are killed, because killing someone is the antithesis of dying yourself. They weren’t killed, they just died from drowning in the water, except for the car, he was killed by the pressure.”

“Oh, I think I understand what you mean now.” Sky comprehended the words, but didn’t understand the meaning. “But is the car going to live even though he was killed?”

“Actually...” said Twilight, “I think he is a living resident of the undead.”

“I AM A ZOMBIE,” proclaimed the car as the GPS system activated. “ALL I CAN DO NOW IS LEAD YOU FROM EQUESTRIA TO EQUESTRIA.”

“Wait, we’re in Equestria, and we’re going to Equestria?” Sky asked. “I thought we were in the human world, now I don’t even know where we are.”

“Everywhere in all of the universes is Equestria, Sky,” Twilight replied. “That’s how it’s always been.....since the dawn of Fluttershy’s dark sky!”

“Everywhere is Equestria?” Sky wondered. “I guess the world is a lot smaller than I know. So how are we going to reach our destination?”

“I know the way, we just have to follow the GPS.” Twilight assured.

“Alright, I know I can follow that just as easily as you.” Sky said with confidence for the first time.

“Thanks...” Twilight said as she got out her cell phone. “...fool.”

The phone back at Celestia’s (this is the REAL Celestia, not the robot) palace began to ring.

“This is your boss...” Twilight’s boss reminded. “what’s the status.”

“Mission successful.” replied Twilight. “I rescued Sky from your android just like you requested, and I even showed some of my evil ways in the subtlest manner possible to him just like you asked. The stupid boy is just as naive and oblivious as you said. I can even have a private conversation on the phone revealing all my secrets with him right next to me and he’d never suspect a thing.”

“Good work, Twilight.” the boss chuckled sinisterly. “I know I can trust you to get that neutral moron to choose the evil side.”

“You know you can always trust a pacifist assassin...” Twilight laughed, “...Celestia. Goodbye.”

Twilight hung up as the princess on the other line was revealed to be...Princess Celestia.

“Woah,” Sky was shocked by this particular revelation, “you were on the phone with Celestia? You can talk to someone who’s dead?!”

“Of course I can...” Twilight laughed. “I’ve always been able to talk to the dead! HA HA HA! YOU’RE SO STUPID!”

“Wow, that might be a possibility that I never knew!” a surprised Sky said. “So if you can talk to the dead, can you talk to those angry-looking ghosts behind us. They look frustrated.”

“Oh dear,” Twilight turned around to see the ghosts trying to surround the car. “It looks like we’re going to have to do something.”

“You know, since we’re in Equestria right now, and our journey began at our destination,” Sky thought, “I wonder if this will be the end.”

Unfortunately, the end was neither near or far away from our heroes...

This ends the story of Princess Celestia’s big horn, which is the beginning of the second dark sky.

Thank you for reading, hero!

Chapter 3 of 7: Luna's Dark Story

The twilight will end before the night, and the sky shall darken for the moon to turn bright

The order shall reverse so that the past will last to see the moon, and so the gateway to the future anew will open soon.

Luna's Scenario

In the universe of the dark sky, the human world had been terminated by Twilight, and Celestia was planning to begin the interminable age of machines. It was like a massive shipping fanfic, only there were no cameras on in the real life of fantasy. To generate the new generation a new generation of recent changes, Celestia had used the power of downgrade fusion to fuse the two most physically capable ponies in Equestria, Applejack and Rainbow Dash, with machines in order to create two impossibly powerful cyborg alicorn ponies, at the cost of their human hearts (they could function without them because they were ponies). The universe was doomed by Celestia's darkness, but light still remained in the heart of the one who hides the light with her shadows...her sister Luna.

Celestia laughed inside of her castle triumphantly with great victorious quality at her victory that was thanked by Twilight's victory. Everything was going great from her except for one irrefutable fact that she was so distraught by, she didn't dare to try to refute it...Luna was returning home from her time at school.

"Celestia, I'm home!" Luna said as she came home. "Sister, you won't believe..."

"I KNOW YOU'RE HOME, YOU REDUNDANT DUNDERING DUNDERHEAD!" Celestia shouted. "Stop reminding me of my son!"

"I'm sorry, but-" Luna apologized.

"And I already know you're sorry because you did something to wrong me!" Celestia was dignified in her confidence that Luna had made her indignant. "God (she was very angry, so she swore by herself), you are like the Ralph Wiggum of the fantasy world! One moment I turn around, and when I turn back, you're trying out to be Ralph Wiggum for the live-action reenactment of the Simpsons movie!"

"Now let's not take this personally," Luna said feeling hurt knowing she'd make a perfect Ralph Wiggum as she was a real talking magical horse, "I just wanted to tell-"

"Oh I will take it personally, because you are too personal!" Celestia condescended like flames that had ascended into someone's singing voice. "Children are selfish, and you're only five years old, so you must always be thinking about yourself!"

Author's Note: I just wanted to point out here that the reason Luna is five years old is because Celestia made her that way.

"I don't always think about myself," Luna replied, "I'm just a philanthropic child who's devoted her life to helping everyone, that's why my life is the center of my universe!"

"Well at least now we're on even terms!" Celestia warmed up to her like the fires of hell. "Alright, what happened to you today?"

"It all started in my teacher Mrs. Cheerilee's classroom," Luna recounted the story of the universe like an ascending slope that led two characters with nothing in common to the mental hospital (hint, hint). "Everything was going just like an ordinary day...

"I was waiting for Mrs. Cheerilee at the desk, and my school subjects were being very difficult as usual, because I'm not very smart." Luna regretted with unfortunate sadness. "They threw their papers at me, they spat horrible words at me, and worst of all, they were mad at me because I made school really difficult for them."

"Wow, you even make life difficult for your textbooks," Celestia chuckled, "now that is just sad."

"I think you mean my classmates," Luna corrected like a time eraser as she drew a flashback in her head to reality. "Anyways, just like my subjects, my subjects were being very difficult with me..."

"Curse you Luna!" shouted the school classmates. "Thanks to you, education isn't fun anymore! School used to be easy, but you had to be an idiot and answer all of the teacher's questions and real-life problems (real-life problems are hard to solve when they're someone else's) like a genius! Now we have to answer really difficult questions on our homework about life like "Why do living things live?", "Why is the sky blue?", and "What color is the sky?"!"

"I'm sorry, but those questions are easy!" Luna assured like a sponge that wanted to wash up on shore but got a flight ticket to New Jersey instead. "Especially when you realize that the question is the answer! They just appear hard because the answers are pretty variant and ambiguous!"

"You big usurper of happiness!" the class teased in a tea'd off manner as they hit her with plastic bags. "You're the president of America, so why don't you start acting like it in a classroom!"

"But I haven't done anything!" Luna unwittingly alleviated the class' depression by making their time away from recess more enjoyable as they erupted with laughter. "Please just listen to me!"

The erupting feelings of laughter erupted in silence as an explosion was heard and the door exploded into a million little towel-kind of dry splinters, as grass and flowers grew on the floor.

"The head of the classroom is not ahead of itself today!" Applejack stepped through the door armed with a gun. "Behold your instructor, kids!"

"Greetings, crazy horse!" Luna welcomed, recognizing what her sister created. "What kind of wisdom are you going to share with us?"

"It's time for your lesson now kids," Applejack reached into her furry barrel which was like a chest of fur, "just to let you know, I'm not like those other pansy assassins. I don't kill with nature...I MAKE MY VICTIMS BECOME ONE WITH NATURE!"

"SHE'S GOING TO SHOOT US!" the children exclaimed as Applejack swapped her gun for a deadly weapon...a missile.

"I WILL PROTECT YOU!" Luna cried heroically as she threw her crushing feather weight over the kids, smothering them like a mother bird's wing and casting a protection spell.

From the missile, Applejack fired an explosive rocket launcher that blew up and destroyed every pony. The only things that remained were the garden, Luna, and the Cutie Mark Crusaders, who were the only students that were engulfed by the protection spell in time.

"So some of you are still alive..." the killer Applejack looked over the living remnants with an awkward feeling of respect. "It appears that I've failed my mission...but in a good way."

"What do you mean, sister?" Apple Bloom asked her back in a kind of verse. "Aren't you just going to kill us anyway? Why do you have a horn on your head? And why are you evil?"

"I have to be, it's part of my commissioned programming." Applejack replied. "And speaking of commission...I'm not going to get paid for this, but I will be more than willing to pay you three in more than one way or the others..."

"Wait, what about me?" Luna asked feeling a sense of guilt. "I failed to protect everyone, I need to be punished. I SHOULD BE THE ONE GETTING PAID!"

"Assailants are not munificient with pain, Mr. Fru Fru!" Applejack ripped into Luna's unstable conscience. "NOW HAND OVER THE CHILDREN!"

"NEVER!" Luna seldomly connected her bravery with these recent events of the growing past. "But...I am only five years old. And if I die right now as a hero, I may never accomplish anything great later in my life! Just take the children, you evil coward!"

"A wise decision, sage of the younger years!" Applejack complimented joyfully as she grabbed the Crusaders. "And don't even think about following me!"

"What have I done...that was a terrible thing to do!" Luna cursed herself being such a good hero that she immediately regretted her mistake. "Know this Teacher Applejack! I may not follow in your footsteps this minute...but I WILL HAVE MY REVENGE THIS DAY FOR THE GOOD OF ALL OF US!"

"Moron..." Applejack laughed as she teleported out of the school. "Some day, we will meet again, and that day, I will kill you!"

"I have to wait..." said Luna as she noticed her classmates were in pieces, as they had been reduced to ashes and ghosts completely. "Right now, I must give the dead their peace!"

So Luna buried some of the ashes and ghosts in what would be Cheerilee's garden, and buried the rest in the sky where beautiful rainbows would be made, so they would be divided into pieces and be at peace.

"I have saved the dead!" Luna bellowed proudly. "Now I must save the living! The only reasonable evil lair that evil Applejack could've gone to is evil Applejack's house!"

So the five-year old hero Luna flew to Applejack's house, using her childlike imagination to imagine that she was Superman, who was a strong hero in American culture that could fly.

"Tis only a dream..." said Luna sadly as she arrived at Sweet Apple Acres where the only life that could be seen there was Big Macintosh, as all the crops and plants (even the ones that were seeds and didn't grow yet) had been destroyed by the fires of the looming apocalypse brought by Celestia.

"Big Mac," Luna donned the truth onto Big Mac like an old king. "there's fire and smoke everywhere! Where's Applejack?"

"Probably in the basement to get away from the fire..." Big Mac explained despondently, "I hope she's alright...right now, I'm just troubled. I have no idea what I'm going to do with my mechanical pencil..."

"Don't look down upon yourself!" Luna gave encouraging advice quickly as not to hang about and lag around. "Just thanks for not being stiff with me!"

When Luna teleported in the cellar basement, she made sure to hide while she had a disguise on. Engaging the enemy was not a good idea, so she used her magic to transform herself into the moon and hid herself in the air. Normally, the moon is very large, but when it's seen from the perspective of the sky (and when the ponies have had their eyes clouded by air pollution, giving them 0/0 vision), it looks really small and a normal sight. To make it even more inconspicuous, Luna created bright stars all around her to make it look even more ordinary. Now her disguise was perfect!

"WAH WAH FAW FAW FAW!" Applejack laughed sinisterly as she had bound the Cutie Mark Crusaders to the wall with ropes. "Today is the day you shall pay, Cutie Mark Crusaders!"

"You crazy weird sister of my friend!" Scootaloo shouted.

"You wacked cuckoo chicken friend of my sister!" Sweetie Belle demanded an insult upon her. "What are you going to do to us?!"

"I'm going to pay you fools, of course!" Applejack insisted. "Since this is going to be the last day of your lives, I'm going to pay you just for breathing!"

Applejack pulled out a heavy bag and opened it, revealing it was full of stuff...the green stuff, one million dollars in cash!

"A...a...MILLION DOLLARS?!" the trio squealed in delight.

"Wow sister, I guess you're not that evil!" Apple Bloom crunched like loopy soy fruit. "Think of how much good we could do with all that money! We could donate it to the bank, so they'd have more than enough money to make everyone rich!"

"We could donate it to the insurance company!" Sweetie Belle suggested. "Then they'd have enough money to insure that no one would get sick!"

"We should donate it to the lottery!" Scootaloo scooted to chase the picked power of the fall's random chance. "Then everyone in the world would have enough money to gamble!"

"AGH!" Applejack jolted. "You humanitarian fellow pony lovers! I'm not giving you this money to give to others! I want you to use it for your own personal pain and gain!"

"But what does that mean?" Apple Bloom webbed at her trouble-stirring sister.

"You'll see..." Applejack chuckled as she started a fire with her magic in her horn. "I want you three to have as much fun as you possibly can this day, for the apocalypse has finally started. Before the fun can start though...you have to burn your ideals without a sweat's notice..."

"What the yeah, Applejack?!" Apple Bloom shouted at Applejack's crime. "Why would you want to destroy our ideals?!"

"Your ideals were unprofitable deals in an attempt to procure crazy ideas!" Applejack hurled the hack theories. "They can not change the truth that we are all meant to become nothing when we die! We shall be absorbed forever in the eternal comfort of getting to be annihilated nothing when we die, so why don't we just live it up today!"

"Could she be talking about...Mu?" Luna pondered like a note that got thrown away because it was addressed to the ruler of light with his name spelled backwards. "But that place is..."

"But how are we going to live for the rest of our day?" the trio thought ahead to the present of the rest of their time.

"LIKE THIS!" Applejack demanded love as she opened up the trio's sweat pores with her magic. She then glued a white robe to herself (it was designed for someone with two arms, not four), and got out a paper shredder and a boombox. She threw the million dollars into the shredder, reducing it to little green stuff lacking in description. She then teleported the green stuff inside of the Cutie Mark Cursaders' mouths and all their holes, including their pores.

"Ha ha, I know you're gland as gold to see me, but you don't need to be so sweet!" Applejack adored the obvious as she started playing the song "I'm Sexy and I Know It" by LMFAO (she stole it from the human world before the flood so she's not a nonsensical pirate) on the boombox.

"But at least you're not as dull or wooden as a fire pole!" she declared as she got on the fire pole that was the support beam to the house that supported her weight. "Now let me show you some of my sweet moves on the straight up to the sky earth stallion!"

"OOH...EVERY DAY I'M STRUGGLING!" Applejack started to swing around on the pole and show the Cutie Mark Crusaders her robed body. The poor fillies didn't know what was hotter, the uncomfortable tension from the suggesting dance moves, or the fire consuming everything. As their bodies began to sweat, their pores were blocked by the sweat soaked money, and they began to swell.

Since the Crusaders couldn't talk, and they knew this would be the end, they had a gibberish conversation as they flashed the money in their mouths to each other. Because Luna was five years old and could translate gibberish, she overheard the delightfully cryptic nonsense about how they did not regret being misfits and that the reason they sat next to Luna in class was because they could actually tolerate her.

"*sniff*" Luna the moon cried happily. "True tolerance begets love...Sorry I couldn't save you guys...it looks like this is the end..."

But it wasn't too late, as Big Mac wondered why there was smoke coming through the basement when the fire was supposed to be outside, so he came to check on Applejack.

"Hey sister, there isn't a fire in here too is there...What is going on in here?!" Big Mac shouted as he saw what was going on. "Why are the moon and stars in here, it's daytime! And Applejack, why are you in clothes torturing those children! They look like they're about to explode!"

"This is what it looks like," Applejack replied trying to talk her way out of this, "It's just your perception that's off. We're just having a tea party with money instead of tea leaves!"

"You leave my sister and her friends alone before I get tea'd off!" Big Mac yelled as he got out his mechanical pencil and pointed it at his sister Applejack. "I'm not afraid to use this anymore!"

"NO! NOT THAT!" Applejack got scared as she got off the pole and backed up against the wall. "We're already under fire! If you fire any of that at me you could..."

"I've learned from my mistake..." Big Mac remorsed, knowing that he was the one who started the fire when he got too passionate about his magically enhanced mechanical pencil (hey, they can be pretty dangerous. Some schools don't even allow students to use them at times!). "You must be stopped, Applejack!"

"I may be a robot alicorn now, but I'm still your sister!" Applejack pleaded. "Please don't..."

"It's too late..." Big Mac made a rebuttal. "To stop you, I must ERASE THE FUTURE!"

And with that, he fired lead bullets from the pencil at Applejack's head, which Applejack dodged. They bounced off the wall and hit the moon.

"Woah woah WOAH!" Luna accidentally mooned the ground with her face as she lost touch with gravity levitation, and rolled on the ground towards Applejack like a sign of finding treasure in Indiana. The moon hit Applejack, and she was crushed to pieces as Luna's transformation spell was undone. Applejack was undone and done for, but the Crusaders were about to explode!

"NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOO!" Luna cried as she rushed towards them but it was too late, as the Cutie Mark Crusaders exploded into a mess of sweat and green stuff pus. "THAT MURDERER! SHE PISSED THEIR LIVES AWAY!"

"No..." Applejack said with her last breath. "I just wanted to help the children."

"No sister," Big Mac told her, "You are the only true child here."

And then Applejack was nothing but the parts of many things that had departed. Luna walked over to the dead robot body, and out of her foreboding child curiosity, noticed that there was a small chip that fell out of Applejack when she was crushed.

"She may have been a bad pony and a bad machine..." Luna looked over sadly, "But she deserves to be disposed of properly!"

So Luna grabbed Applejack's remaining parts and flew into outer space. She then flew towards the sun, and hurled Applejack's machine body into the sun like a superb nerd who found the trifactor of the fourth day of the week.

"Ashes to ashes, and the sun created dust..." Luna looked sadly again as the perspective switched back to her talking to Celestia. "And worst of all, I never saw Big Mac or any of my friends after that...isn't it sad?! And that was my day."

"You crushed and threw..." Celestia said as parallel to a mad skit about a bird as could be. "...one of my machines...a part of my blood, tears, and sweat...INTO THE SUN, A PART OF ME..."

"At least we can both relate now!" Luna empathized. "We both had a part of us taken aw...WWWAAAAAYYYYY!"

"Come with me! Come with me!" Celestia demanded Luna to come as she grabbed her by the left ear and dragged her to a room. "Instead of getting rid of you for a while by sending you to school, I'm just going to educate you about the meaning of darkness!"

"Oh no..." Luna recognized the dark room as her bedroom as Celestia opened the door. "Please not that..."

"Enjoy your dream darkness!" Celestia said throwing Luna into the room, as she had confiscated her Dream Lites. She then cast a spell to make the room an anti-magic room so Luna couldn't even illuminate the room to find a light switch, and locked the door.

"No...please LET ME OUT!" Luna pleaded. "My nightmare friends aren't going to enjoy this!"

"You're five years old, so you can start acting your age like a twenty year old!" Celestia asked for what could not yet come. "However...I will let you out if you do me a favor..."

"Heh heh, I've already ordered my next little invention to be sent out..." Celestia laughed as the Rainbow Dash robot had already been given her orders to send some ponies to a special place.

The Ending of Luna's Scenario.

[Metal Snake]

Chapter 4 of 7: The Dark Sky's Dark Story

Dark Sky’s Scenario

 

Do you have what it takes hero...to truly learn what has happened to Fluttershy and her Dark Sky members following the discovery of what comes after the end? Or how some choose to perceive...what should have been the end of it all?

The day of the flood, at Fluttershy’s house...

Fluttershy was tired the day before she went to bed, so she went to bed on that day’s night, which created the sleep for Fluttershy’s morning. The reason her day had been so tiring was that because of the looming apocalypse, Celestia no longer needed music as an inspiration for her life’s future goals, for the future was now and now was always about to end instantly. Fluttershy was not frustrated over being out of a job though. Now that she had been laid off, she was very glad that she could now lay off the drug known as being awake all the time. Unfortunately, she had no idea what the other Dark Sky members were doing in light of all these events.

“Ah, that’s me, Fluttershy,” Fluttershy talked in her sleep, as she had gone to bed crashing on the couch, so happy after getting fired. “Good with animals, good with kids, and good with kids who aren’t animals.”

Since Fluttershy was high up in Celestia’s domain, she had gotten the chance to go to the human world filled with cynicism, misery, arrogance, and misanthropy and took care of machines and humans there. It was incredibly easy for machines, didn’t have a concept of life, and the humans were like children compared to ponies. Fluttershy empathized with their flaws and imperfection so much that she could communicate with them on a higher level, and even told Celestia that she wanted to be like these meek creatures.

“No...” Celestia told Fluttershy back in time in the past. “You can not be a human Fluttershy, you will be destroyed by your own entropy and discord!”

Fluttershy did not believe Celestia back then...but one day after the apocalypse, she would realize the intended truth of what was meant to be...

“GET OUT OF BED YOU HARD-WORKING DEVOTED BUM!” Celestia’s voice echoed in Fluttershy’s head, complimenting how devoted she was to being lazy like a fantasy novelist who had many jobs that she didn’t do because she couldn’t balance them out. “THERE ARE MANY THINGS YOU MUST DO FOR ME...”

“Ow!” Fluttershy felt her head as she woke up. “I’m getting sick of these horrible voices in my head! I would see a doctor about it, but I wouldn’t want him to think I was crazy!”  

Fluttershy was deciding to awaken from her slumber when she noticed something that further verified this decision...there was a note next to a note that was on an ordinary table that wasn’t noteworthy.

“Why would someone leave me a note while I was asleep?” Fluttershy asked herself as she picked up and started reading one of the notes. “I can hear phone calls while I’m sleeping, you know.”

The first note was from the Dark Sky members, and written on it was:

“Dear Fluttershy,

   Hello, this is Derpy Hooves. This note is being written by Derpy Hooves. Me and the other Dark Sky members are very sorry, but we broke into your house last night to steal your shed. Also, if you find that there’s a hundred dollars missing from your wallet, don’t worry. You just bought something from the store yesterday, which is why I put receipts in your wallet to replace the money as proof. Sorry that Derpy stole your shed and for being inconvenient.”

                                                                                                                            Love,

                                                                                                                       Derpy Hooves

“Well that explains a lot,” Fluttershy inspected her wallet to find tons of receipts from different dates that added up to a hundred dollars. “At least she was honest enough to help refresh my memory right.”

She then started reading the other note from Celestia, which read:

“Dear Fluttershy,

   Hello Fluttershy, this is Celestia. This note is being written by your master who is no longer the boss of your life, thank you very much. I am very sorry (laughing at you, NOT!) to bother you, but my sister Luna is in trouble. I sent her to the elite strip club after a big blowout (it wasn’t a party, so get serious) with her, and she hasn’t come back since. Im getting worried about her, for she is only five years old, and is a little too young for this sort of thing. Please go find her, she’s the lead stripper who will be doing things the moment you walk in there and see her. Thank you for helping...YOU NO...FL.....S...”

                                                                                                                            Love,

                                                                                                                          Celestia

“Wow, that letter did not make any sense, though it was informative.” Fluttershy thought things over. “I should probably go down there and get Luna for her, that place is a little too crazy.

So Fluttershy got ready to fly to Luna’s rescue. As she left the house, she noticed something odd that corresponded with what was read...the shed that she never thought she had outside wasn’t there.

“The shed that Derpy said she stole isn’t there, and I never remember owning a shed,” Fluttershy pondered like a fish from Spain that found a way to find its tongue from the first person it met in the sea. “I wonder what I would’ve done with it if I had...”

Unfortunately, Fluttershy realized the nonexistant when she noticed something that now existed in the river by her house...animal corpses, blood, brains, and zombie piranhas tearing at them.

“Oh no, that’s terrible!” Fluttershy gasped. “Those piranhas are zombies, and now they’ll eat anything that goes near them! How did this happen?”

Fluttershy quickly ran away and escaped her house, but the worst was yet to come.

“This is getting really weird...” said the nervous shy pegasus as she found her way to the club. “I just hope nothing weird goes horribly wrong...”

When she walked into the club, the this that was getting really weird is what she saw. There were tons of ponies from Canterlot dressed in expensive clothing and business suits, for they were doing their business of getting wasted on small glasses of wine and watching a fully clothed Luna put on her clothes while dancing to the song “I’m Sexy and I Know It” at the stage for every pony to see despite their 0/0 vision.

“Oh that is just far too rich!” the upper-class ponies flirted and threw money at the stage as all that could be seen of the clothed pony was a blue horn. It had to be Luna’s, because she was the only alicorn besides Celestia to their knowledge, and Celestia wasn’t respectable enough for this elite sort of thing. “Show me more of your civilized fashion!”

“Excuse me Luna,” Fluttershy said politely walking up to the stage, “but you need to come home now. Besides, you’re a little too young to be wearing all those clothes that are too big for you...”

But just as the pony on stage noticed Fluttershy with her X-ray eyes that could see through her own clothes...she took off all her clothes, revealing that she was...the other robot alicorn pacifist...Rainbow Dash!

“Wha...What are you doing here Rainbow Dash?!” the shocked Fluttershy asked as the music shut off. “Why did you look like you were a possibility of being Princess Luna?”

“Possibilities are not part of my mission...” Rainbow Dash gave Fluttershy a gazing stare. “My mission focuses on the impossible...the fact that I would one day kill you...”

“Oh no...please...you can’t do that...” Fluttershy backed up in fear trying in vain to prevent what seemed like it couldn’t happen as Rainbow Dash reached into where her pants would be. “NO!”

Fluttershy tried to flee as Rainbow Dash pulled a rare weapon out of her pants. The rare weapon was...Rarity, who had been turned into a robot weapon by Celestia’s downgrade fusion. Rainbow Dash ate Rarity and a lighter, and gave birth to a fireball shooting flamethrower. She fired a fiery fireball of fire and fired Fluttershy from breathing by burning her to a crisp.

“I have succeeded at conquering the mission.” Rainbow Dash stood triumphantly with victory over the enemy. But then something strange happened. Fluttershy’s body was only burned to death, but she turned to ashes. “That is odd...but I must reminisce on my past, and continue with my other matters.”

“Hey, why did you kill her in a manner so unacceptable?” the upper-class ponies asked. “That youngling was only a small child compared to us!”

“If you really like the children, why don’t you go check out that little girl?” Rainbow Dash pointed to a young girl who was sitting at the bar unattended during the killing, since it got everyone distracted. “She’ll give you some tips in whatever way you want them.”

“That was a fireball...fire...” the girl filly played with a lighter like a hawk doing kenpo with a computer trying to calm a ME down. “This place needs...fire.”

“Trust me, I’ve had some amazing experiences with the youth...” Rainbow Dash smiled.

“So that girl has advice, money, and a personality that likes to smoke!” the high class ponies cheered. “She must be some kind of patron saint!”

As the upper class ponies searched for meaning in the smoke, Rainbow Dash remembered her purpose for meaning as she pulled a bingo book out of her metallic fur, like a lamb trying to farm land with a senior high school student’s dog. As she looked through the book, it could be read that there were black X’s on pictures...pictures on Fluttershy’s Dark Sky band members.

“The time had come for their time that came...” Rainbow Dash thought back to seven hours ago when she came to Cloudsdale to turn into the Grim Reaper. Unlike her partner robot alicorn, Applejack the farmer, Rainbow Dash had to reap the benefits of fruit and kill where vegetables don’t grow, the sky.

In the past, Rainbow Dash had walked with heavy loads in her pants, and now in this flashback of the past, she was walking across the clouds with a car in the side of her pants that were part of her old Dark Sky uniform that she had stolen. Eventually, she reached a giant house that was the shed stolen from Fluttershy’s cottage. The only life that could be seen outside that was not in the house was Derpy Hooves dressed in glasses and a white shirt, sitting outside reading a book.

“Oh hi Dash, you look like you’ve been very busy, what have you been doing?” Derpy noticed the large hardness vehicle inside of Dash’s pants. “Hey Dash, why is there something big and hard between the side of your legs?”

“Because I am not happy to see you...” hoped Dash that Derpy would not keep her distance, as she had to die. “What are you doing out here by yourself? What is in the shed?”

“Oh, I’m just reading a book out here because the others don’t want me around,” Derpy smiled with an explanation, “They say I’m too stupid to play with their video games, so they suggested that reading would be a far more suitable hobby for an idiot like me. That’s why I’m reading this book about the good of moral behavior by Princess Luna. It’s really informative, but it’s also really stupid because it’s written by a five-year old, so it’s not meant to be taken seriously.”

“What kind of...video games were they playing?” interrogated the questions of Dash.

“They were saying something about torturing the element of pain and having a civilized tea party with their favorite doll of Rarity,” explained Derpy. “Do you know something concerning a painful tea party?”

“I very well know...” assured Dash. “Well thank you for the info Derpy, that’s all I needed to know. You’ve outlived your usefulness...”

“You’re welcome!” Derpy exclaimed happily as Dash walked closer to her and grabbed her head. “I promise to always be very helpful to you...”

“Thank you for the time...” murdered Dash as she twisted Derpy’s now broken neck. “NOW...the time will come...”

As Derpy’s still smiling face fell in the book and spread blood all over the pages, Rainbow Dash walked closer to the shed and peered into the window to see what the Dark Sky members were doing.

“You seem alright for such a rare sight...” said the black pegasus who had been named Dumb-bell as the sight from the window began. “It’s too bad we have to kill you...”

“No, please!” begged the black glob of a glob of liquid like representing Pain of solid goop. “Please don’t hurt me! My suffering has brought people much entertainment for aeons!”

“Those are some very funny words that you’ve spoken my good man,” said the orange pegasus who had been named Hoops and had been drinking hot tea while getting haughty with his words of sarcastic encouragement. “It’s too bad that you shall not be able to enbalm anyone with your panacea-soothing attitude seeing the excellent chapstick you shall become, my viscous buddy.”

“What are you going to do to me?” the pain asked. “The world has become so terrible in light of the apocalypse, that no one can suffer any more! I can’t harm anyone ever again, so please don’t hurt me!”

“It’s too late to apologize without saying you’re sorry!” yelled Dumb-bell evilly. “Actions mean nothing any more, we’re only doing this for information on the one who made you inflict all the pain for the past twelve years of life...Princess Celestia.”

“What if I don’t give it to you?” asked Pain fearfully.

“If you do not agree to give us the information, we will torture you to death with painkillers!” Dumb-bell introduced Pain to ecstatic needle drugs as forms of torture. “If you do agree to give us the information, we will kill you! So what will you choose?”

“I...I think I’ll choose...” Pain said nervously.

“Too late!” the torturer shouted, and he killed the Pain instantly with a volatile painkiller. “I lied, your information was through an action that gave me an idea...we must kill our enemy!”

“Jolly good show that did not lollygag around like someone waiting for the trolley to get to work!” Hoops drank tea by pouring it in his hair and squeezing his hair into the tea. “The greasy mouse won’t be checking into any sweet hotels any time soon! And now, we can kill Celestia without worrying about having to achieve information or pain in the process!”

The gray pegasus named Score agreed with a closed mouth that he used for talking.

Meanwhile, Rainbow Dash was very angry over the death of her comrade Pain (she was a robot, she liked Pain because she couldn’t feel him) and got really frustrated.

“AAAAAHHHHH!!!” she shouted at her enemies from her furtive hiding spot as their attention was alarmed. “YOU FOES WILL PAY!”

“That screaming didn’t come from the house...” they surmised. “Was it from out there?”

Outside, Rainbow Dash ate the car that was in her pants and Rarity, and used downgrade fusion to turn the components into a rocket car, which was a downgrade from the original because it was too fast, but she didn’t care. The rocket car being driven by Rainbow Dash smashed through the wooden shed and destroyed the front wall that was made of wood. All the wood from the destroyed wall was completely decimated, and Rainbow Dash drove the car towards the right side of the shed. Score slipped on the wheels and got run over and dragged under the wheels as Rainbow Dash swerved the car off the shed and into the clouds far below.

“Did you see that?!” Dumb-bell asked for a record of sightings as all that remained of the shed was part of the back wall, big holes to peek out of, and a window.

“She’s going to kill us, we must ESCAPE!” the doomed Dumb-bell shouted as he succeeded in escaping death by jumping through the window and falling 20,000 feet to his doom, as dying was the only way to escape without getting killed. The temperamental Dash then got out of the car just before it crashed into the cloudy ground, and flew to the shed. She gave a cold glare of fiery fury to Hoops with her eyes, which were now exceeding temperatures of 4200 Kelvins.

“PUT SOME MARMALADE ON THOSE OVERHEATED CRUMPETS, YOU BUGGERING COMPUTER VIRUS OF VIRULENCE!” Hoops yelled at the robotic Dash trying to be a British gangster like the ones in Super Street Fighter II. The homicidal Dash then dashed towards Hoops and delivered a fatal blow to the moribund pegasi’s heart with her horn in a murderous manner.

“Dash...do you...want to kill me?” the dying pegasus said in his last words, thinking that Rainbow Dash was going to kill him as she flew his dead body out of the broken window that Dumb-bell broke, completely shattering the glass, and directing the pegasus towards the ground where Dumb-bell had landed on his stomach.

He had survived the fall, as he was a tough cookie who had eaten undercooked steak and uncooked baked goods his entire life, but he had met his doom when his ruptured organs fell out of his chest (raw food makes you stronger, but it’s not good for your health) and when Dash dropped Hoops from her horn and made him fall on the black pegasus. She then stood by their corpses with triumph in a victorious yet sad way.

“I am detecting an apology in my remorse for killing...” Dash analyzed with strong emotion as she took off her Dark Sky uniform and threw it on them. “But it is something that an assassin has to do for the living.”

Rainbow Dash remembered all of this back at the strip club, and smiled, knowing that it didn’t really matter any more.

“Your advice would’ve been very adhering in the past considering it didn’t exist back then, and neither did you,” the upper-class ponies told the small girl still playing with fire. “But we are so glad it will now be a part of the present and the future! What shall we do now to magnify your great words of wisdom?”

“Fire...is made of elements.” the girl playing with fire made up her words of truth like a legendary tale that had been inspired by a cat chasing the world to nowhere. “You must create...the elements.”

“It sounds like a very elementary concept to me!” the rich ponies called the alleged theory to that of high schooling standards. “Come on everyone, let us set precedents that will be the leading example to the youth!”

So every pony except the filly, Dash, and the dead Fluttershy grabbed lighters out of their shirt pockets (for smoking cigarettes and wine) and set the lighters on fire with their natural mechanism. The mechanisms were too close to each other though, and soon everything including the fire that was created was engulfed in fire! Ponies screamed as they were forced to bond with the fire, except for the filly and Dash, who knew this was an accurate representation of the past.

Rainbow Dash walked out of the club, and walked away from the arson and murder that had been committed as she jaywalked through the desolate streets. She smiled, knowing one good thing about the past. That even if the world burned down in what would now be the past, there would always be hope for the future. The future that was now in the hands of one final assassin...the one who kills hearts.

The Ending of the Dark Sky’s Scenario.

[Metal Snake]

Part 5 of 7: Twilight Sparkle's Dark Story

Twilight’s Scenario

The greatest pacifist assassin, Twilight, and Celestia’s creation known as her son named Sky, escaped from the clutches of the evil robot twin of Celestia, and Sky has learned the truth of the omnipresence of Equestria. Not understanding Twilight’s true intentions even after they had been revealed, one can only wonder what strange fate Twilight will befall on him, especially after stories were told following the appearance of the spirits...

“Twilight, ghosts are attacking the car, so I guess this is the end.” Sky reminded. “Did ghosts ever attack your car before?”

“No, but I know how to defeat ghosts!” Twilight cleansed as she looked into her hollow pockets that she thankfully remembered not to stuff with strawberries, and pulled out her squirt gun, this time setting it to low power.

“The power of Christopher’s ghost compels you!” Twilight used the gun to hurl pure water onto the ghosts like a godlike cumulonibus cloud that arranged all things in a section of the alluring world without any accident.

The frighteningly miniscule amounts of water splashed onto the ghosts scared them, for it was a large amount of water that killed them, and things that are absorbant tend to be more dangerous when they’re smaller, so they flew away.

“WHAT YOU GONNA CRY? TEARS OF FEAR!” Twilight let out the derision they could’ve done without like a madman who wanted everyone to rule the world and shout about how his legacy of insane choices would last forever. “Welcome to the crazy world of reality, losers! Alright, I don't think we need this water any more...”

“They look really sad...” said Sky as he noticed the pony human ghosts flying into the sky in a melancholic way while Twilight used her squirt gun to absorb the massive bounties of bountiful water around them. “Are there feelings hurt?”

“They’re not living...” explained Twilight as the car was back on land. “They don’t have any feelings the dead don’t exist after their passing. It’s a sad fact, but no matter how tragic their death was, they can feel nothing after it, because they are nothing.”

“So...it’s impossible to hurt someone with nothing?” Sky thought. “Who would’ve thought that was actually possible?”

“And that’s exactly what killing is Sky...” chuckled Twilight like men who called the shots in a den as she spoke for the rest of us. “It’s just turning someone into something that can’t feel. It’s NOTHING PERSONal.”

“Oh, I understand,” comprehended Sky as he was played for the fool that he was with the words like a thing that played around with an actor so he could raise money to buy DVD’s. “But that thing you said at the end was funny even though it sounded funny...it sounded like...a joke.”

Author’s Note: I just wanted to let you guys know that the funniness is going to go both ways with this joke, if you know what I mean.

“Life is full of brilliant jokes my friend,” Twilight commented like a jock who liked mythology. “And you are one of them.”

The two laughed at Twilight’s condescending flattery, as it jogged Twilight’s memory.

“It’s working...” she thought to herself, “Now I’ve just got to transcend his awful sense of humor from bad puns to sadism...”

 

Twilight laughed in her complacency, which was well deserved, as everything was going great. However, just then, the zombie car exploded and it was raining cats and dogs. Thankfully, Twilight and Sky were safe, for as soon as the zombie car knew he was going to blow up, he shielded his comrades.

“Oh no, our friend is a dead undead zombie!” Sky was confused as to what to lay to rest, as this situation seemed serious. “I wonder if the sadist who did this is happy.”

“Who dares rain on my reign over the sovereign ruler that kept my ride going?” Twilight rained like a lagoon falling into a tornado that couldn’t wring out an angel’s beanie baby robe. “Wait a minute, the rain and the animals and the animals being turned into rain so they can be nature where they belong...that can only mean...”

“YES...WE ARE THE PACIFIST ASSASSINS.” said the pacifists, who were dressed in robes and holding cats and dogs on leashes as they had unleashed their weapons that shot animals. “And you Twilight, have betrayed our alliance...by working for Celestia and becoming rusty, you defied nature.”

“I didn’t actually betray you, you know.” said Twilight in a stabbingly venerable tone. “I’ve honored many of your practices by destroying things the organic way...it was almost like...a rebellion against life if you really think about it.”

“Enough of your condescending mockery...” they replied as they put away the animal guns and got out new ones from their robes. “If you like destruction so much, then let’s play a mock game of it, shall we? We are non-violent, so we shall kill you the non-violent way...with NATURE.”

At that moment, the pacifists tried to shoot Twilight and Sky with their environmentally friendly guns that fired bark-laden trees, as the dogs shouted at the duo angrily, and the cats were like, “Eeyup, that’s what it’s all about.”

“So are you guys sadists?” Sky asked an important question to the killers as he and Twilight were being shot at. “Is the goal of this whole thing to please?

“GET FLYING!” Twilight gave good advice in an illogical way to emphasize her worriedness as she grabbed Sky and ran away. Because of the pacifists’ awful aim, the trees missed the dynamic duo and built a forest behind them that they could hide in, so that’s where they hid to combine with the escaping.

“Why are we running and hiding? They’re just trying to murder us,” Sky remained coherent to Twilight’s logic. “I thought that killing was a good thing.”

“Not when the people who have to kill like me are being killed, or else who will do the killing?!” Twilight fronted her essential rebuttal. “Think kid!”

“They ran in the forest and now I can’t see them. WHERE COULD THEY POSSIBLY BE NOW?!” they demanded themselves to know.

“We can’t run in the forest, we may accidentally hurt one of the trees, and that would be mean.”

Celestia had allowed the pacifist assassins to have extremely dangerous guns because their reprehensible aim prevented them from pointing a gun at someone directly and committing first-degree murder. Unfortunately, it had now backfired on them...

“I KNOW!” shouted the reserved dog of the talking animal pack. “WE WILL RUN ALL THE WAY TO THE LEFT IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION, SO THAT WE WILL END UP IN THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE WORLD, AND WE WILL HAVE THEM SURROUNDED FROM BEHIND!”

“That’s a great idea!” the pacifist replied with ambition. “We’ll cross through the Atlantic Ocean and give our lives if it means the death of those cannibalistic cows!”

“Well, what do we do?” asked Sky as the pacifist murderers ran in the opposite direction. “We can’t hide here forever, if they reach the other side of the world, our only fate is to be doomed.”

“OH NO THEY WON’T GET TO THE OTHER SIDE, THEY’LL DIE BEFORE THEY DO SO!” Twilight defied fate as she jumped out of the forest and used her squirt gun to shoot a huge body of water in the pacifist’s path. Since they had 0/0 vision, they didn’t see it until they fell into the water and it was in their eyes and they drowned to death. And then...they...died, just like a pirate seeking a death potion that only bloomed during periods of titanic amounts of rain.

“Those poor killers, at least they died seeking peace...” Sky sympathized.

“No, he’s starting to feel empathy!” thought the worried Twilight as she began to get concerned with her status. “Alright, no more fooling around, time to make some preparations so I can bring in the main event...”

“We’re going to make a stop Sky,” Twilight interrupted with a stop as she ended the moment. “I need to rob a bank.”

“That’s fine I guess,” Sky conceded, “that doesn’t sound like it’ll hurt someone in an unhappy way. But where is the bank?”

“What a silly question, it’s right over here!” Twilight revealed what was visible as she used her magic to teleport a food bank from somewhere to the definitive place.

“Wow, that place looks like it’s a restaurant large enough to hold money, food, and people,” Sky said in awe of the residence’s areas. “But...if you had the power of teleportation, why didn’t you just use it before? We were in Equestria, and we were close, far away, and in our destination, making that the perfect opportunity.”

“The easiest way isn’t always the best way my friend...” Twilight tried to create a proverbial proverb, “Cowards do deserve credit for being smart enough to run away from tough challenges, but bravery through those challenges is the true way to learn and grow more intelligent. That’s why I’m not a coward.”

“So to be smart, you must first be stupid!” Sky took note. “So that means no matter how stupid what you said used to be, it will eventually become smart if you persevere in it!”

“Exactly!” Twilight delighted as the morals were mixed together and combined in a manner that would persevere throughout their time. “Just listen to what I tell you kid, and even the wrongs will make many rights!”

The two walked into the food bank. It was large enough to store lots of things like Sky somehow predicted, including a bar, living things, and money that was all out in the open.

“Ah, every good thief just loves to see a myriad image of many things just laying out in the open,” Twilight locked her eyes in like a pill looking into the mouth of a laborer that transferred his ordinarily boring glare to a celestial one as he glanced at the other side of the terrasphere. “It’s so hard for a thief to take such a vast plethora of stuff, you don’t want to leave behind stuff and look like a poor treasure hunter, or take all of it and be a poor burglar, as no burglar breaks into a house and steals everything. It would make the crime a little too PERSONal if it involved kidnapping.”

“Not trying to be a wall with eyes by constantly observing and noting everything,” said Sky as he thought over his notes, “but are there any textbook examples of things that need to be remembered here?”

“Not in my manual,” replied Twilight, as it appeared she wanted to steal for personal gain, “but while I’m making preparations, you can go be a bus boy at this restaurant.”

“A bus boy?” he thought things over. “But I don’t know anything about transportation, I’m more of a waiter type.”

“Fine, just remember to keep taking my orders as you be stagnant over there.” requested Twilight like the ceiling of a desk that wanted to be a machine as Sky walked to the bar where all the ponies appeared to be hiding, cowering under the booths in fear as they made an impression that they were waiting for Twilight to leave, and had gotten the wrong man to buttress them.

“No one will be able to hear you scream from under that pile, manager,” Twilight immediately found the roots of the food bank leader’s stealth as she innately found his location. “A coward’s passing is not mourned if he dies quietly...”

“What do you want from me?” he asked fearfully as he got out of the pile of money. “Just please take the money and go away! Just please don’t take what’s really valuable!”

“Oh I know that the money isn’t what’s really valuable,” Twilight saw through his sneakiness again. “I’m Celestia’s ambidextrous handed man, I know that she downgrade fused the world’s food for money so that everyone could be rich. The food bank is the only place left in Equestria that has food.”

“Alright then, you can take all my food!” the manager reluctantly gave Twilight the key to the food vault of the bank. “You can take everything from me, but you’ll never have what really matters to me...the purity of my heart.”

“Oh really?” Twilight grinned like a judgmental tax collector that yearned to give a good testimony in a courtroom.

“Wow the atmosphere in this place is full of death, and it’s not friendly.” Sky said as he noticed that the ponies were now miserable because they were rich and starving to death, and they tried to kill themselves in the most painless way possible, exploding (balloons do it all the time, and they even have smiles drawn on their faces after they die) by drinking too much water. But the deaths from exploding were too cartoonish so they didn’t really die and had to kill themselves by drinking too much alcohol, so they would die from alcohol poisoning and then explode and die.

“What a miserable sight...” said the stallion who was sober and sitting at the bar watching it through the right eyesight. “This place is so wet...it needs...the water of life.”

“Excuse me sir,” Sky tried to help the stallion with something as he felt sorry for him too, “you look abnormally normal in comparison to everyone who is looking swell. Are you drunk? If you are, that’s okay. I was drunk last night apparently, and I don’t know whether or not my mother cured my alcohol poisoning or not. If you are poisoned, I just wondered if I could help you get well soon.”

Meanwhile...

“Now...the choice is yours,” Twilight held her wallet and squirt gun out at the manager using telekinesis to play with his mind. “You can either take my money or die!”

“I’ll never be greedy!” the manager made a stand. “I have no ambition to get in the ways of evil!”

“See you in Mu then!” shouted Twilight as she beat the manager over the head with the gun and he died instantaneously as he bled to the point of his death.

“Aw...your eyes look irritated, let me help you.” she chuckled as she spit on his grave by squirting water in his eyes which cleaned up the blood as she prepared for a derisive remark. “Oh, and thanks for the key, but I don’t need it. I have teleportation magic, so the key to my future doesn’t need a key-locked safe to be safe.”

While Twilight teleported inside the vault, took the food, and teleported out, Sky walked in limping on one leg that was bruised like his arms and his eyes like a gorge that had symbols engraved on it like an eagle’s knife.

“Twilight...I’m in pain, but I’m numb everywhere,” he diagnosed Sky himself. “Could this be what it feels like to be in two places at once?”

“Oh, looks like you got pretty badgered back there in both ways.” replied Twilight like a venomous snake that mushed up fungi, his venom, and pills to create applesauce. “Don’t worry, now that we have all the food, we can just teleport back to my house without a challenge, where I can heal your wounds in both ways...”

Using the power of magic, they got back to Twilight’s house, where Twilight laid Sky down on the couch. She then put the food on the table and laid it out like someone was preparing to eat it at a banquet, a feast, or dinner, as there was a TV in the living room where they could eat.

“Please keep lying down to be seated,” Twilight finished treating the wounds of his. “I have to go get something from the dining room for this particular feast...why don’t you keep thinking about my orders while you’re there.”

As Twilight went to the dining room, her order convinced Sky to order his attention to a letter lying on the table under all of the food and getting unusually messy to the lack of Twilight’s attention. It was another note from Princess Celestia, and the title was “Twilight’s Orders”. He decided to read it, and it read:

“Dear My Most Trusted Lackey Twilight Who’s Name I Will Not Speak of in the Details,

The ..Y-day is approaching. In preparations for January 20, the day machines will truly replace pony life, I need you to give me satisfication with your orders...

First, go to the human world-version of Equestria, where I have turned all the humans into ponies. My robot duplicate has the nothing in the school I built there long ago, destroy my duplicate and rescue the nothing to gain his trust.

Second, return the nothing to the pony world-version of Equestria, and make sure to destroy the human world version with the power of your magic squirt gun in a manner that will appear like an unavoidable consequence to the nothing.

Third, make sure to corrupt him with all the evil that was taught to you with the immorality chip and the vile teachings of the rebel group I sent you to spy on, the pacifist assassins. Don’t forget that on the way back, you must stop at the food bank to get plenty of groceries for the corruption that will surely get him to choose the evil side...

Finally, once you’re sure he’s become evil, DESTROY CEL...I mean, LUNA’S SON and he’ll return to me to assure the beginning of the end...

                                                                                                            

                                                                                                                                     With Love,

                                                                                                                                      You Star In!”

 

“This list of orders is listing orders...” Sky wondered as he read the letter like a hunter spider that captured his dearest love, but accidently stuck her to the wall that was actually a secret passage to his treasure of sapphires. “But...destroy Luna’s son? What did You Star In mean by that? I hope the nothing and Luna’s son are doing alright...”

“So you didn’t take my orders lying down, but you look pretty relaxed about the entire thing...” Twilight gave Sky a sinister smirk as she walked back to the living room carrying a glass of water wearing purple and green underwear instead of her black suit.

“Um...aside from the orders...what is this food all about?” Sky asked as he waited for a response. “What are we going to use it for besides eating?”

“Eating?” replied Twilight with her smile still unphased. “I’m not hungry for food Sky...I’m hungry for you...that’s why I want to have a good meal with you, if you understand what I mean...”

“Wait...is this food just an appetizer for the main course?” Sky pointed to himself in a humble way. “This was all just a preparation to use me for food?”

“We’re all food Sky,” Twilight enlightened. “Thanks to downgrade fusion, anything can be eaten...and I want us to eat each other sexually...ALL NIGHT.”

“Do you really mean...?” Sky felt like he understood the message.

“Talk is cheap...” said Twilight as she moved in towards Sky. “Let’s make our conversation about something exciting...like expenses...”

“Are expenses going to lead to consequences? Sky asked as Twilight help the water in front of his face.

“I don’t know...” Twilight shook her underwear. “Would you like me to SPIKE your drink?”

“Will that hurt?” Sky had memories of getting punched earlier.

“Not at all...this is a beautiful comitatus between two things that are food, YOU’LL LOVE IT.” Twilight tried to insist that she wouldn’t put him in a coma with her love as she grabbed a lot of the food off the table, including the main course, the vegetables, the fruit, the beverages, and the desserts.

“I just hope me being weak and tired won’t ruin everything.” Sky replied.

“Great...now we may begin.” she said as Sky put his greasy pig in Twilight’s greasy pig, and they shaked and baked around until there were buns in the oven.

“Is this good?” Sky looked at the goodness of the defiance of nature.

“Not good enough, you slow sloppy hog!” Twilight porked Sky while treating her partner like chopped liver. “We also have to make comments about each other, but we must do it...SEXUALLY, just like a salesman would during a sexual harassment case!”

“All right, your eyes look very nice.” Sky tried his best to compliment her.

“That’s nothing, your eyes are connected to your brain, and I’m surprised you even have one!” Twilight complimented back as she razed in some good sugar on Sky’s bran.

“Well, you look like a very healthy creature.” Sky tried to sell her easy stock comments as he grasped for straws.

“Oh that’s funny, just don’t try to cook your gushing oni on the field where I’m going to sell my ad, you sturdy fry!” Twilight cawed, carrying it to the next planet, like a bawling beatle sprouting in the fields of Christopher Columbus.

“This feels cheesy, but it’s also sorta rad-ish.” he wedged the potent taters over the corn fields producing too many pine-scented apple trees with a hint of lemon.

“Aren’t you glad I’m not being a donkey-hole over this great fruit?” ate Twilight eating fruit while holding a chicken bone. “Or aren’t you glad I didn’t put the bone in your nana?”

“I’m just glad that the cock of trees wasn’t a chicken of potatoes.” said Sky being joyful about the birds like a ship that fished for fish that would sue an Asian sheep for themselves. “And I’m just glad my nana never existed, I wouldn’t want someone to have no bones.”

“We’ve deserted the meat of the main topic, so ALLOW us to continue this sexual bologna!” the icy Twilight only gave half the story, like a coughing whipmaster who bifurcated his sick creamhorn so he could be cool and ready to whip.

“Where had the nonsense gone?” Sky iced like a centaur who knew how to do jujutsu as he looked in the mirror, but not at the undeniably true tale.

“It was gone whenever you decided to get lazy, and not be adoring to my cheap odes!” ruffled Twilight like a munching cat’s ode lacking cry.

“At least you’re chipper in lieu of the flat odes.” Sky sawed the vision that didn’t sing or spiral out of control.

“Won’t you cater to my pillar of salted nuts?” Twilight buttered up as she opened her fly.

“Of course, since it’s all meant to be.” Sky grabbed the nuts and did what anyone would do with them. “I wouldn’t go small or AWOL for naught.”

“Now you’re getting it...we’re in a monogamous little exchange here...” Twilight said undeterred in a key sentence as she pulled out two doggie bags with turkey in them. “So...do you want to get down for white or dark meat?”

“Hey, that’s not very nice!” Sky finally objected to something, as the lack of innocent behavior had made him more subtle. “I want both!”

“Damn!” Twilight cursed herself for Sky’s lack of naivete. “I mean...hey, that’s CHEATING!”

For once, Sky didn’t suck up, so Twilight had to suck up the fact that she would have to get more obvious to fool this sucker.

“Well, I guess that’s it for now, I don’t really have a lot of things left to be MUSTERED!” Twilight tried to catch up for lost times as she relished sour crowds of mustard and mayonnaise that would catch up to Sky’s eggs.

“Well, at least this isn’t offensive...” Sky gave in to the hidden messages.

“And just like that, he’s mine again!” Twilight drilled into her own head like she would a birth year. “It’s true what they say, you can’t tune the messages of a ham, but you certainly can tune a fish!”

Meanwhile...

Celestia woke up at 3:00 AM and groped her big horn. She was as honored of it as she was of her peaness, which was as tall as a man, but not as big as her horn. She had had a wet dream as she had wet the bed with her freeman as the wetness dripped into her pink hollow. She decided to do something productive and important, like turn on the TV to see how her subordinate was doing.

“I’ve got him right where I want him now...” Twilight thought with a smirk, hoping that Sky wouldn’t be fenced if something went wrong as the Celestia-vision on the TV went on.

“And so do I...” Celestia grinned evilly as she looked at the pale white sheets in remembrance of the water that flowed so purely in her mind. “You’re doing well, my creations...it’s too bad that tomorrow is when you will die...I think it’s time to open up the room of darkness and let her free...”

“Oh Sky...” Twilight said as aroused as an animal’s tail wrapped around a cucumber. “Let’s get down in the sink for rising feelings!”

“That sounds fascinating!” Sky’s faced turned red as he would love to create more tales while Twilight whined like beer pouring liquid into his hollow that invigorated his spirit.

“YES, I DID IT! HE IS LOVING THE IDEA OF SINKING LOWER!” Twilight shouted in her mind as happy as cocoa that was peppery like cream and sugar in the coffee of a game designer. “I’VE ACCURATELY COMPLETED MY MISS...”

Suddenly...the two blacked out, and they woke up the next morning in the kitchen sink.

“Uh...what happened last night?” Twilight asked as she woke up with Sky right next to her and an unusually full belly. “Why is my stomach big?”

“Oh hello, guys,” said Luna who was standing over the sink. “I’m here for my son. His name is Sky.”

“My name’s Sky...but I’m Celestia’s son, she’s my mother.” Sky told Luna about himself. “That’s really weird.”

“No Sky, Celestia is your father, and I’m your mother.” Luna replied. “You are my son.”

[Metal Snake]

Part 6 of 7: The Dark Transcendence of Sky

The transcendence of the next dark sky has finally become nigh...what will happen?

“I have a mother...and I have a father?” Sky looked at himself. “I never would’ve known...”

“Every living thing is a creation of either Celestia or me...but fate allowed you to have a different precursor beginning, Sky,” Luna explained from the start. “Aeons (now twelve years thanks to Celestia) ago, when this world was created, Celestia was given a task from her father, the deity that created everything out of nothing, to go to Equestria with me and infuse the world’s souls with good flesh. But Celestia turned evil, and used her magic to invent the unholy practice of downgrade fusion to create bodies worse than the common elements of nature she used to create them, dirt and grass mixed with peace for ponies, and scum mixed with love for humans.”

“Bodies worse than the components used to make them?” Sky thought. “Wow, Celestia must’ve put a lot of effort into finding common elements that were good for making something so complex.”

“I tried to help her by inventing upgrade fusion,” Luna continued her story like an empirically good teacher who was a guest at the taj mahal, “a slow process that allows components to polymerize and slowly evolve in a mare’s womb. After I realized it worked upon mixing animals and slime with holiness, I wanted to help Celestia’s reputation with her father so I used my magic horn to get her pregnant with her own son, created by upgrade fusion. Enraged by my uncontrollable desire to create new things, Celestia banished me to the moon and rebelled against our father, banishing him to the very place where the nothing started, Nomu. But there was one thing she couldn’t banish...you Sky.”

“So that’s the story of the creation of Luna’s son, Sky...” Sky learned from being careful in what he knew. “I wonder whatever happened to Celestia’s son though...”

“AND I WONDER WHATEVER HAPPENED TO ME!” shouted Twilight suspiciously. “How did my stomach get so big after that bondage feast, Luna?! What have you done to me?!”

“Uh heh heh...I was ordered to get you pregnant by Celestia...” Luna enriched their knowledge. “Celestia said something about knowing that you would betray her, so she ordered me to use my magic to give you the curse of resurrecting Sky after his death through oral tradition...”

“It can’t be...she knew all along that after I turned Sky evil, and killed him, I was going to kill her too when the apocalypse started!” Twilight revealed her entire plan, knowing that her slight lack of intelligence failed her from seeing Celestia’s future. “Just one step further into what could’ve been real, and I would’ve been the ruler of Hell!”

“Wait, you were trying to turn me evil?!” Sky smartened up again in a clean spoken manner. “That’s pretty mean too, that could be just as bad as separating the darks from the whites!”

“Twilight, why in heaven’s sake would you want to go to hell?!” Luna asked in confusion. “That place is horrible, it was invented by Celestia to be paradise for the wicked! Only someone wicked would sacrifice their purity for paradise!”

“I’ve had enough with you, you bastard creating mother of a pet store owner!” Twilight wouldn’t take the ideal-violating truth anymore. She wanted to get her squirt gun to kill Luna, but it was missing since it was in her suit. She wanted to improvise by using her Spike-colored underpants, but they were nowhere in her field of sight, so she had to use a broom that was formerly Spike. She hit Luna over the head with the broom transformed Spike, killing the broom, and spreading dust all over Luna.

“I’m a machine! A machine’s fate is just to go to Mu when it dies!” she bellowed as Luna contracted asthma, as she was only five years old. “The reason I’m so evil and scheming to get to hell is because I want to make something of myself, unlike the world’s other renowned infernal contraptions!”

“No Twilight...you don’t get it. Life is...” Luna didn’t get to finish the philosophy of her own sentence, as the dust storm had killed the poor five year old child in the event that she fell on the floor and...died.  

“I guess Spike really was useful for something besides sweeping the floors...” Twilight focused her attention on the dead broom as Sky focused his attention on his dead mother and got kinda frustrated.

“Why did you trick me, Twilight?” Sky asked a complicated question. “Why didn’t you tell me from the very start that you were evil? Why did you try to subtly convince me to become evil?”

“Idiot...you are evil! You’re neutral, you’re worse than the morally destitute!” Twilight said all cool like a star walking on the sky. “The neutral creatures were destroyed because they tried to escape Celestia’s control by not choosing a morality or an immorality chip! The evil at least follow the system and try their best to uphold standards, while your only destination is the nothingness! So just how can you question me or my way of living?!”

“I can’t, because I don’t know anything!” Sky made an immaculate rebuttal. “You’re technically my best friend, and I don’t even know what you are! I think you’re an evil machine horse with a horn on your head who destroyed the world, killed both my mothers, and tried to turn me into someone evil...but I don’t KNOW what you are. So what are you?”

“...I am what I am,” Twilight’s heart exploded with dashing happiness like a three dimensional world sailing in the outer regions of a forgotten planet universe. “Sky...aside from being your friend...I was programmed to become your mentor and teach you the good ways of evil...Do you understand? Do you want to be evil?”

“You may be right,” replied Sky, “evil may be good. But if evil doesn’t feel good, then I want no part in it!”

“That’s fine with me, because I’m done with my plan of working for Celestia!” Twilight declared. “I’m my own master now, and I’m going to begin my reign of freedom by carrying out my plan, killing Celestia!”

As Twilight put her suit back on, she noticed that her phone was ringing.

“Oh, not now and not ever again!” Twilight was frustrated when she picked up the phone, as it was Celestia calling at an unsuitable time. “Hello?”

“HELLO TOMBSTONE!” Celestia’s voice was like that of a donut-eating radio host shouting into a microphone. “I’M GOING TO ENJOY BEING OVER YOUR DEAD BODIES, BECAUSE RAINBOW DASH IS GOING TO REDUCE YOU TWO PEACELESS CORPS TO HEAT AND ASHES COMPLETELY! GOODBYE FOR NOW AND ETERNITY!”

Just then, the walls of the house exploded, like a portal malfunction that took place in a courtroom, and Rainbow Dash appeared...

The two had now formed a dubious alliance like a swan who befriended the clay pots he broke underwater while trying to bake cookies, but Celestia had been watching it all from the TV, something that you can’t escape from in a house no matter where you are...

“Foolish tanked up drone not even fit for junkie...” Celestia wore a suit of red armor as it mirrored her impossible to shield frustration towards Twilight. “YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO COMPLETE THE MISSION WITHOUT FAIL!”

Just then, something jutted out of the floor like the Tengrism symbol in genuine artificial tea that was not entertaining. It was Luna!

“I’m dead...that means I’m in...Nomu!” Luna was worried, but looked around as if nothing was in distress, as things always weren’t in the land of Nomu. “This is where...”

“FATHER CREATED US ALL AND GOT A LOCK UP IN A BABY’S ROOM IN THE FUTURE BY CELESTIA!” Celestia explained through exclaiming loud gibberish.

“Wait, Celestia? What are you doing here?” Luna asked reading the gibberish with her tongue. “I thought you would be back at the palace, we were only meant to return to Nomu when the world ended and we became dead immortals!”

“ALWAYS BEEN A FOOL!” replied Celestia’s remembrance of the past to keep up with the chronology. “THE WORLD IS ENDING, I’D HAVE BEEN A FOOL TOO TO HAVE NOT COME HERE AND GOTTEN OUT OF FIRE’S LINE TO AVOID THE INEVITABLE!”

“Why are you talking like that, Celestia?” Luna was hoping the sound barrier wouldn’t be broken in the apocalypse. “Your words are flowing into my ears way too fast and they don’t make sense!”

“YOU SCHMUCK OF A SUCKER!” impeded Celestia as she jammed the argument up like a raspy dream house that was condemned for being filled with poison berries. “I WILL GET YOU AND MAKE WHAT HAD GOTTEN YOU GET YOU AGAIN IN THE PAST! AND NOW, THROUGH THE SACRIFICE OF ALL MY OFFSPRING, I WILL DESTROY THE ONE OFFSPRING OF YOU AND ME...THAT ANNOYING BOY SKY!”

“NO! You can’t hurt our son!” Luna tried to show her sister some motherly love. “He’s like an octuplet to me!”

“PUT A CAP WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS PARALLEL!” Celestia demanded as the horizon of destruction neared. “YOU MAY HAVE GOTTEN TWILIGHT PREGNANT, BUT YOU FAILED YOUR MISSION! EVEN THOUGH YOU COMPLETED IT, YOU DIED ON A MISSION TO ASSURE SURVIVAL FOR ME!

“But...you’re alive. The world is doomed and you’re alive, so what’s wrong?” Luna asked.

“YOU HAD DISHONOR ME!” Celestia dissed. “IF I WASN’T SO MERCIFUL, I’D HAVE YOU LOCKED UP IN PRISON FOR LIFE FOR GETTING PEOPLE KILLED!”

“But...I was the only one who got killed.” Luna defended like a windshield in a ground-shattering storm.

“THAT’S IT, I’VE HAD IT WITH YOUR INSOLENT PETTY DISAGREEMENTS FOR THE LAST TIME! IT’S TIME FOR PUNISHMENT!” Celestia soared as she prepared Luna for the knife.

“Oh no...what are you going to do to me?” Luna replied fearfully as Celestia grabbed her with telekinetic magic.

YOU ARE ENSCONCED TO A LOWER PLANE FOR A REASON! Celestia songed like lyrical high. “I eat humans and give birth to amazing things, while all you eat is garbage and scum! You’ve always been garbage, and now you will know how garbage feels!”

“NNNNNOOOOOOOOO!” Luna cried as Celestia threw the five-year old in a wastebasket, which got on her back as she tried to fly like a grade school student who got two D’s at the laboratory in nature science class. “I’M NOT A BIRD, SOMEONE PLEASE HELP...”

Luna smashed her head against the wall in her attempt to get away, and fell unconscious.

“The loser has lost at all times,” Celestia laughed, “now it’s time to finally get competitive with my favorite winners...”

She prepared a huge atomic-like magic spell, leaned out the window, and pointed it at her favorite sun on earth.

“The Japanese gave me emotional support by sending prayers to the gods (Celestia), but I don’t need them anymore!” Celestia was happy as the sun was mutated, grew smaller, and fell into the earth, destroying everything. “I’m a full-grown deity now, and I shall continue making my toys dance! YOU’RE NEXT SKY!”

Celestia boasted with triumph, as the heat waves from the sun came back, and did something to her normally odd appearance...

Meanwhile...

“We’ve escaped from her, but how do we get away from her?” Sky asked, as he and Twilight escaped the murderous Rainbow Dash and gotten far away from the house out in the street by running far away and teleporting fat away.

“There’s only one way,” Twilight replied as she used her magic to teleport the remains of the old zombie car to where they were right at this moment, “I must track our way out of our enemy’s radar!”

Twilight grabbed something out of her fur that she had kept concealed within her pants for a long time. It was...Pinkie Pie. She ate Pinkie Pie and the cars’ multiple remains, and used downgrade fusion to give birth to...a pink train.

“Get inside our special pink train Sky!” Twilight commanded as she grabbed her cell phone and a piece of metal that she tore off her arm using the super machine strength stored in both her hands. “The enemy is near, the only way to beat the enemy is to run away and track her down!”

“So that’s what we need to do,” Sky realized what needed to be done, “so what do we have to do to accomplish what we need?”

“You need to accustom that nonexistant brain of yours to an engineer’s, and figure out how this train will work without using math!” Twilight reminded him that it was a magic train that could take them far away from here just as they got on the bubble gum pop star’s board.

“I AM THE PINKIE TRAIN, HOP ON MY TRAIN!” an electronic voice that sounded familiar but not in the familiarity like the sky greeted happily. “IF YOU ARE ON THIS TRAIN, YOU ARE PROBABLY BEING TAKEN AWAY BY NUMBER ONE ROBOT ALICORN ASSASSIN TWILIGHT SPARKLE TO A MAGICAL PLACE WHERE NO ONE HAS TO SCREAM ANY MORE!”

“That place sounds like heaven!” Sky embraced the wonder wondrously.

“You are one sick masochist,” Twilight shivered at the thought of heaven, “you should be grateful to the gods for allowing you to become nothing when you’re dead...anyways Pinkie, this is no time for mystical reality fantasizing, we need to get lifted from the ground for a fast escape!”

“IF YOU WISH TO START YOUR JOURNEY, PLEASE INSERT THE PINK GOODNESS INTO MY COIN SLOT!” Pinkie Pie the train stuck out her bubble gummed slot for them to see as Twilight moaned and groaned.

“You’re lucky I’m in a hurry, otherwise I wouldn’t be so square with you!” Twilight put some bubble gum she chewed into Pinkie Pie’s slot, knowing her normal abettor ways would get her in a no more better situation, as this was no time to take a gamble.

“THANKS FOR PAYING IN A FUN-FILLED MANNER, YOU’LL FINALLY GET YOUR CHANGE FOR A CHANGE!” Pinkie Pie tried to convince Twilight to change her conniving thief ways as quarters came out of her goodness. “LET’S BEGIN, PRESS MY BUTTONS AND SWITCHES WHENEVER YOU WANT TO HAVE LOTS OF FUN!”

“Rainbow Dash will be here any second, the time to get ready to activate the escape mechanism is right now!” Twilight requested of Sky as she finally used her incredibly fast wing speed to use her wings to fly in front of the train, and finally used the phone and metal from earlier as food to downgrade fuse the components into railroad tracks.

“IT’S TOO LATE!” shouted Rainbow Dash as she had finally caught up to them after her preparations for a prey-casuality resulting chase before the killing. “It’s too bad that I’m always ready, and I finally got prepared to kill you and Sky!”

“SKY, TAKE ACTION IMMEDIATELY!” Twilight vaguely made the necessary order to the puzzled creature known as Sky, as they had to flee.

“I’ll do what I hope I can do! Sky took it seriously as he walked to the control panel and thought carefully about which buttons to press. He pressed them like a noble assassin of the moonlight who had no idea how to play Mozart on an electronically woven keyboard. There was confusion over whether the randomness was bad or good, since it worked for the train, which started operating and moving forward as Twilight put down the train tracks and flew backwards, building a railroad with the straightest face she could possibly bend to her imagination.

“That train could be a noble enemy in its cowardly ambition...but unfortunately, I am flying a plane!” the airborne rainbow knowing assassin had used her downgrade fusion to polymerize Rarity and the rusted remains of a corroded metal fighter jet to create an unbelievably fast plane. She used the wingpower in her wings so she could fly and fly the plane at a speed so improbably fast that it had a chance of creating the thesis of not only breaking the sound barrier but also catching up to the end of the locomotive!

“Ha ha, you’ve taken our back but you have no chance of ambushing us!” Twilight laughed at the ironic scenario of such an unusually complex chase. “You’re hopeless, you might be able to break the sound barrier, but I’ve broken the magic barrier with an infinite supply of train tracks and speed faster than a freight train!”

“You are arrogant with that gutless brain of yours...” Rainbow Dash blocked this ridiculous suggestion of words. “Just because the train is blocking me from committing violence, doesn’t mean you’re safe!”

Rainbow Dash hovered above the train’s back and revealed to Twilight that there was a giant gatling gun attached to it that shoots metal blades made of gears! As Dash unleashed the gears of peace motivated violence, Twilight realized that she had to get out of the way and build the train tracks simultaneously.

“I CAN’T BUILD CHARACTER IF SOMEONE IS SHOOTING ME!” Twilight shouted like a bull who rode on a dragon and accidentally broke his computer. “Sky, Rainbow Dash is starting to push my buttons with her obnoxious assault! It’s time to push our friend’s buttons as retribution!”

“Alright, I just hope pushing her buttons doesn’t get her frustrated...” Sky caught on to the fact that the train was conscious as he pushed every button on the locomotive that he could find.

“Woah, why are you pushing all that into me?!” the Pinkie train replied in the disturbing kind of flattery. “It’s making me feel like jumping!”

The train then jumped really high and straight up in the air. It was high like the sky that used gravity to put the train back on the ground in an inverted sense, so the train was upside-down. The high of the fall caused Sky to hit his head on the ceiling and fall unconscious on the inside of conscious train’s head.

“Wow, please don’t put all that information in my brain again silly!” the Pinkie train pleaded as she slid on the tracks upside-down while still moving. “This has been a pretty grating experience!”

“NO, THIS IS REALLY BAD!” Twilight missed Sky already in a realization of the obvious.

“It’s over Twilight, once I’ve killed you and your friend, Celestia will bring the apocalypse and remake the world in her likeness in Nomu!” Rainbow Dash revealed everything like a true opposing nemesis. “Any last words?”

“Uh...just a couple.....WHAT THE LUNA’S ANNOYING STUPIDITY IS THAT?!” Twilight pointed to the sky.

“Wow, thank you for the warning Twilight!” Rainbow Dash moved out of the way of the tracks, as the sun of the pony world Equestria had fallen and was rolling along the railroad! It had been mutated by magical waste to a cooler form that would not reduce what it touched to ashes, but make whatever it rolled over flat as a pancake, reducing it to pancake batter, and cooking it into pancakes with the remaining heat!

“WHAT IN CELESTIA’S NAME HAS THAT DESOLATE PRINCESS DONE?!” Twilight bellowed, knowing her squirt gun wouldn’t do a thing against the sun, as it was protected by waterproof pancakes. “THERE’S ONLY ONE MORE THING TO DO!”

Twilight left the building of the magic tracks to her telekinesis as she used her magic arm strength to lift the upside-down train and put it back on the tracks on the right side, while timing it so the sun would go under the living creature levitated train while she lifted it in the air!

“YES, THIS IS MY CHANCE!” Rainbow Dash no longer need to take chances as Twilight was vulnerable as she vigorously lifted the train over her. “DIE TWILIGHT, I HOPE YOU MADE YOUR PEACE WITH CELESTIA SO YOU’LL AT LEAST BE IN HELL WHEN YOU’RE DEAD!”

“Sorry Rainbow Dash...” Twilight apologized for the first time as she flipped the train right-side up while she was being shot at by Rainbow Dash’s plane like a donkey climbing up the wrong ladder and falling off a king’s skyscraper. “But the only way I could die right now would be for a crazy reason!”

“Oh no...” Rainbow Dash saw doom as Twilight released the train right-side up over her. “WHY ARE THE REASONS THAT WE GET HURT SANE?!”

Rainbow Dash tried to fly away, but the train fell on the back of the plane and crushed her lower body to insignificant pieces and then running over them, destroying the plane too. Unfortunately, there were no more tracks thanks to the sun running them over, and the train started to operate in a manner of unwieldy excitement.

“I KNEW THAT AT THE END OF THE RAINBOW THERE’S ALWAYS A SILVER LINING!” the Pinkie train saw that the former adjutant of the clouds was now a giant pile of pancakes from absorbing too much stuff to the center of its nuclei. “THE END OF ETERNAL SLEEP IS BREAKFAST!”

Pinkie crashed into the pancakes with enthusiasm, and remained in the right mood as she flipped over on her side from the crash and slid towards a nearby school.

“NO, I HAVE TO SAVE SKY!” Twilight shouted as she flew inside the train and grabbed him and flew out as she junctioned him to herself like a con man hugging a cash register that made his abilities to steal and draw assets stronger. “IT’S STILL TOO EARLY FOR HIM TO LEARN THE DEATH!”

“WELL, I HAD A GOOD RUN!” the Pinkie Pie train accepted her fate. “IT LOOKS LIKE THIS LOCOMOTIVE IS GOING TO HAVE TO CONTINUE THINGS ON THE PHANTOM TRAIN!”

The Pinkie Pie train and the school exploded upon collision, and no one was killed because the only living things in there were the train and the ponies who had once been alive at the school, but everything went black.....

“Sky...Sky...Wake up Sky...” a mysterious purple robot alicorn who had saved Sky from the train tried to awaken the boy. “Everyone is dead...the train crashed and blew up the school for Cheerilee’s garden...we’ve delayed our doom...please wake up and enjoy the moments while we still have them...”

“Wait, a school blew up because of our train?” Sky awoken to this awkwardly true fact. “I hope we didn’t disturb the peace...”

“We did...no one was killed, but we disturbed the ghosts in there by destroying part of their resting place...” Twilight was sheepish about the train like a wall having to be a grommet for a penguin day out with his lover. “But the Rainbow Factory is a place that remains unhaunted, so that’s where we’re hiding.”

“Wow...it must be a factory for creating rainbows, I wonder if this is where the rainbows in the sky come from...” Sky looked around the place that Twilight had flown them to using her pegasus wings. “You deserve to be thanked for saving me, Twilight.”

“Please don’t mention it...you will never know what I deserve, and that goes both ways.” Twilight tried to fight the fact that she was growing a bond for the foolish boy.

“Heh heh heh...” Celestia watched everything that was going on through her creation’s eyes. “I think it’s finally time to do what I deserted the opportunity to do a while ago...”

Celestia used her magic to have the immorality chip in Twilight’s computer brain operate at full power.

“Aaaaa....aaaaa....AAAAAHHHHH!!!” Twilight shot electricity and power out of herself involuntarily like a vulture accidentally drinking gin mixed with strawberries and bleach.

“Twilight, what’s wrong, you look like you’re in pain.” Sky was concerned as relentless agony and electricity came out of Twilight’s red eyes of uncontrollable hatred. “Is there something wrong?”

“DEAD...PEOPLE...DEAD...PONIES...DEAD...” Twilight conjured up an incredibly powerful magic spell against her will.

“Are the dead wrong, because you look like you want me dead...” Sky noticed something off about Twilight’s murderous intent.

“WANT TO SEE...HAPPY PLACE IN SIGHT...” thought Twilight. “BUT DON’T...KNOW WHAT TO DO ANY MORE...”

“So you’ve grown to like my foolish son...but don’t worry, I’ll make the choice easier for you...” Celestia laughed as a reluctantly familiar face and a ready and willing face on the lower area appeared in the Rainbow Factory.

“OH, HOW I’VE ALWAYS WANTED TO BE YOU ON THE LOWER PARTS RAINBOW DASH!” Rarity, the replacement for Dash’s lower body was very happy in the transcendent area of the sky. “ALL GOOD THINGS MUST COME TO AN END THOUGH, SO LET’S END THIS TOGETHER!”

“MISSION FAILED...SELF-DESTRUCT SEQUENCE ACTIVATED IN HOPES OF SUCCESS OF THE MISSION OF SELF-TERMINATION...” Rainbow Dash walked slowly towards the duo in hopes of bonding with one of them and exploding together.

“Rainbow Dash is going to blow herself up at the cost of a life, and it will destroy the first creature it comes in contact with...” Celestia explained. “I think you know where this is going...”

“BUT I’M EVIL...I’M SUPPOSED TO HAVE MORALS FOR BEING PROFLIGATE!” Twilight knew what she was and was supposed to be. “WHY WOULD I NOT USE YOUR SON AS A SACRIFICE?!”

“It all comes down to which choice you think is more evil Twilight...” Celestia gave more elaboration. “If you sacrifice Sky, you will be basically killing him, and that is exactly what I wanted from the start, so you’ll be following my orders which is not evil in my eyes...it’s actually quite good.”

“NO...YOU CONTROL WHO GOES TO HEAVEN AND HELL...” Twilight remembered. “If only I had successfully betrayed you, that would’ve assured me being evil enough to become the lord of hell!”

“It should be obvious that there’s another option in the two choices...” Celestia introduced something else. “You could forget about me by sacrificing yourself to Rainbow Dash, but even in my view, you’d be a hero for doing such a noble deed, and going down in history as an evil creature who selflessly gave its life for a worthless being would really hurt your chances of getting into hell...”

“NO! NO! THIS JUST CAN’T HAPPEN IN ANY SORT OF RESULTS!” Twilight had no idea what to do in such a scenario.

“I think you finally understand the possibilities of what can happen...” Celestia said with a smile. “WHAT IS YOUR CHOICE?! DO YOU WANT TO SACRIFICE YOUR CHANCES OF SEEING THE FIERY GATES THROUGH BEING A COWARD OR BEING A HERO?!”

“I...No...I...I...” Twilight said grabbing her head, and in frustration, tore the immorality chip out of her brain and scratched and clawed at her brain thinking about and embracing the decision she decided to make. “HERO! HERO! HERO! HERO! HERO! HERO! HERO! HERO! HERO! HHHHHEEEEERRRRROOOOO!!!”

She then jumped on Rainbow Dash and hugged her as tight as she possibly could as the evil machine exploded, and Twilight absorbed the impact with all her magic so that the recoil from the gun-like fire explosion wouldn’t hurt Sky. Sky wasn’t hurt, but the recoil blew him back a few feet and he fell down and got a slight injury on his right arm.

“...Twilight...Twilight!” Sky ran toward Twilight, noticing that she was blown to pieces, but wanted to see if she was alright. “Twilight, you saved me from that robot. Even if you did do a good thing out of your evil nature, it still felt...nice.”

“It was hell...” Twilight dreamed about where she would never be. “I was backed into a corner by Celestia, with no other choice but the lesser of two evils...for once, the logical choice for me was not committing the most evil deed I could possibly contemplate...the logical choice...was defying the very evil I chose from the start.”

“So your nature for being nice to me wasn’t evil, it was something that became an antithesis for evil...” Sky came to another realization. “Twilight, it was your rebellious nature that created good!”

“I never thought that a life lived as a refugee would end like this, me dying in my rebellion...” Twilight was already dead and began to fade into something. “The defiance of nothing is what created something, and the defiance of evil is what created good...Sky please, never forget that the war must never end, for its defiance both with and against will eventually create peace...”

“Farewell forever Twilight, I hope to see you again some other day...” Sky said goodbye to his strange teacher of a friend, as the remains of her robotic body turned into vegetables, and the only things mechanical that remained were two chips. Vegetables and...two?

“She had two of those things inside of her?” Sky asked himself as he grabbed them off the ground. “If one was an immorality chip, what could its opposite adjacent chip be? I wonder if this is where everything will end...ending in a mysterious enigma...”

“I KNOW A MYSTERIOUS ENIGMA THAT WILL END EVERYTHING!” Rarity laughed as she jumped on Sky out of nowhere. “IT WAS DETACHED FROM HER FRIEND AND HIDING DURING THE EXPLOSIVE FIGHT, AND IT WAS AND IS ON YOUR FACE THAT ENTIRE TIME!”

“Oh wow, it’s too bad I can’t see my own face!” Sky felt silly.

“SELF DESTRUCTION SEQUENCE ACTIVATED!” Rarity was ready to explode over her new friend. “I LOVE YOU!”

“I think you could be my friend some other day...” Sky was friendly in his very last moments as Rarity exploded on his face and Sky was sent to a very special place in the ending.

[Metal Snake]

Part 7 of 7: The Dark Transcendence of the Dark Ending

The remaining words of the time poem...

Twilight is the thief, the robber and the liar

The liar is the one whom the boy admires

Once associated with assassins armed with wood

She fights for her justice not knowing good

Celestia is the leader of what she does not destroy

Luna is the creator of Celestia’s toy

The leader will one day fall to her own ploy

The creator will one day determine the fate of her boy

The twilight will end before the night

The sky shall darken for the moon to turn bright

The order shall reverse so the past will last to see the moon

The gateway to the future anew will open soon

What we say can not defy our transcending

What we know can only change our ending

Now that you know what will happen when it all ends, the final story may begin...

 

The special place that Sky had been sent to upon dying was...dark. It was dark like a knight in a castle who had a right to be tight with his might and throw rocks at every person in the world, whom he could view from anywhere just like the dark night.

“Wow, this place is weird...” Sky was dizzy upon first waking up. “It’s so dark, yet I can see every part of me except my own face...is my face darkness too?”

“Of course it is, for your face does not have a brain just like you!” Celestia introduced herself in the dark with an insult. “Now my brainless pants feel even more witless!”

“The pants are wittier than a person?” Sky poked his head out of Celestia’s pregnancy pants, revealing he was in the palace of Nomu. “Wow, these are the pants from earlier that helped create life, they must be a genius!”

“You therapeutic dope!” Celestia gave more mentally detrimental insults to him. “Get out of my lower mind prison!”

“Alright...hey wait a minute...” Sky thought as he got out of Celestia and landed on the floor. “If that’s from where I came and left...does that mean you gave birth to me again?”

“You finally deduced a correct thesis for a change...” Celestia clapped for the logical opposite of a fallacy. “Yes, I gave birth to you again, and there was nothing you could have done to stop it!”

“Well...of course not, I was dead and trapped inside of you.” Sky made the same point.

“Ha ha, we’re speaking each other’s language, and it’s leading to no communication, only worthless understanding!” Celestia laughed at how she toyed with his repetition. “Do you know why so many followers have obeyed me and followed every request of mine to the letter without a second thought? Because I communicated my orders to them, they never actually understood any of it! They never got the reason, they never got the motivation, they never got even NOTHING implanted in their thought process from my orders! And that’s what life should be like, wandering through death and pain without any ambitions or purpose! That’s why I hate you so much Sky, because you don’t agree with the thoughts of ME!”

“You never know, I could agree with some of the things you think if I could read your mind.” Sky took the hypothesizing thing too seriously.

“There you go again with trying to UNDERSTAND WHAT I SAY!” Celestia stood firm in rage. “WHEN WILL YOU LEARN THAT THE INARGUABLY CORRECT WORDS OF AN ALL-KNOWING DEITY ARE NOT MEANT TO BE UNDERSTOOD! THIS IS JUST LIKE THAT DAY WHERE YOU BETRAYED MY UNDERSTANDING OF YOU...”

Celestia flashbacked to the day where she had finished giving birth to all of her ponies and humans with downgrade fusion, and had wanted them to fight each other. She had used her magic to create artificial containers of true good and true evil, both of which were stored in two separate Artificial Intelligence chips.

“Alright everyone, please listen to me now so that my words and these ways of life are transported from my mouth to your brain!” Celestia shouted her voice across the crowd of creatures she created. “There are two chips here ready to be installed into your minds, the morality chip and the immorality chip! The morality chip will devote your mind to the goodness of Celestia for the rest of eternity! The immorality chip will devote your mind to the evil of Celestia and make you rebel against good for all of eternity! You can choose whichever one you want in the spirit of free choice, but to make things interesting...it will be required that some of you choose to be good, and some of you choose to be evil, so please choose very carefully as to not disturb the equilibrium of good and bad moral decisions!”

The crowd was shocked. To do the right thing, some of them would have to be evil, and it would be selfish to be avaricious in storing up all the good for themselves. Celestia was a happily cheering creature in all of this confusion.

“Ah, that moment almost reminded me of how everything really started...” she remembered through the memory in the psychological help of her former mind of when she was a child.

“Now Celestia,” said Celestia’s father two years ago, “I’ve found out that you are officially insane. I’ve made you not fully omnipotent so that you will not be tempted to use your powers for unholy deeds, but you still have obligations to use your powers for love and go to Equestria to create beautiful things. Do you understand?”

“Of course I understand!” young Celestia lied with a straight face that gave the warm kind of a crooked smile. “I’ll try my hardest to fight the lunacy!”

“Yeah, boo lunacy!” a wounded Luna tried to impress Celestia. “Lunacy should die, boo!”

“Not boo...do a boo hoo and a ha ha after our next session...” Luna gulped as Celestia gave her a foreboding message of fear, discouragement, and laughter.

“NOW GO AND PROCREATE THE RECREATIONS OF WHAT WE HAVE NOW!” the deity was ready to celebrate soon as his daughters teleported to Equestria and left Nomu, as he was confident and loved them. “I can finally prepare for the celebrations of my daughters becoming loving creators in peace and quiet!”

When Celestia and Luna got to Equestria, they were shocked with the resources of recreation that had been mysteriously made available to them. Before humans and ponies were created, Equestria was a grassland populated by millions of cows! The only other thing that could be seen in the distance was a giant sea, and this scenery gave Celestia an idea.

“Hey Luna, do you know how to drown yourself?” asked Celestia, who got a rising feeling out of the deliciously good plan she had just formulated. “If you do, then you just might be able to sink to the bottom of the ocean and find some neat materials for your upgrade fusion...”

“Hey, I don’t how to swim, so that’s not a bad idea!” Luna saw the wisdom in Celestia’s wonderful encouragement, even though she was only three years old. “Thanks Celestia, I will not take this wonderful mission from Father lying down until I’m finished!”

As Luna ran into the ocean and drowned herself in the water until she sunk (she didn’t die, immortals like her can only be killed with magical things, like that broom), Celestia got ready for a crazy idea.

“Now that that stupid idea to get rid of a stupid nuisance is out of the way,” Celestia executed that plan for Luna in preparations for the yummy plan, “it’s time for my plan to help bring some taste for delicious danger to this cowardly world...MAH MAH MAH MWA MWA!”

A few times later in the future of time still in a flashback...

“Where are those kids? I sent them to that other world, and they’re still not back yet...” the deity knew that his kids were alive and well in the other world, for if they had somehow gotten killed, they would be at home in Nomu. “I’ve had nothing better to do in this land of creation-producing nothing for the past few days, but I shouldn’t be using my busy work as a deity to not check on them...”  

The deity decided to teleport to Equestria to see how Celestia and Luna were doing. When he arrived there, he was happy to see that Luna had found the slime at the bottom of the ocean and had combined it with some of the cows to give birth to many ponies and humans, but was surprised at the lack of more than some of the cows and Celestia...The entire land had literally gone from a grassland to a wasteland, as there were no cows to produce the essential materials for grass to grow.

“Hi Father, my upgrade fusion really does work!” Luna got worked up over impressing the deity who came from nothing. “Am I as awesome as Celestia now?”

“Of course not Luna, Celestia is not in the state of being here and now!” the deity was getting worried. “In all my years, I’ve never had anything escape from my presence, not nothing!”

“Wait a minute, maybe she’s up there!” Luna implied that Celestia was still with them, just in the clouds as she pointed up to the sky. “In that place they call Mu!”

“That place isn’t called Mu, Luna...” the deity was disappointed in Luna’s lack of description for the pearly places in the air, “it’s called Mu Mu Beef Bowl!”

“Damn it Luna, you said too little and blew my cover, you fertile waste!” Celestia came out of the restaurant with her homogenous little friends known as cows. “I won’t be able to exploit this for any longer if my father tries to direct me in another path, you whole and complete obesity!”

“WHAT IN CELESTIA’S NAME ARE YOU DOING, CELESTIA?!” the deity swore by his daughter’s name as he saw that there were tons of restaurants in the sky titled Mu Mu Beef Bowl that Celestia had put there using her levitation magic.

“NOW THAT THE PINKIE IS OUT OF MY BAG, I HAVE NO OTHER OPTIONS BUT TO EXPLAIN WHY IT WAS THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE!” Celestia made a weird thesis on why she didn’t have a steer’s special place. “Father, in my research of creating things in this world, I have created both beef and bowls!”

Celestia held out a pile of beef that looked like it could fit in a bowl with its circular at the top shape.

“Be held by what I am beholding!” Celestia shot her father a paralyzing gaze. “I created this by downgrade fusing the cows with Luna’s humans! I will sell this to the living creatures to eat, and they will have no choice to eat it, for I downgrade fused the grass and the cows to create the wood for the restaurants! I will use all of them to build myself up to the top of the sky!”

“Sorry I let her use my own kind to create food...” Luna said sheepishly like a coward, “I wasn’t trying to promote her cannibalistic behavior by giving her what she wanted...”

“THAT DOES IT!” the deity shouted. “I didn’t want to have to do this, but Celestia, you’ve pulled the leather from the wall, and there’s no turning back!”

“All I did was try to create like you said, you shouldn’t have a single bone to pick with me!” Celestia just wouldn’t agree to have a deal with this one.

“Luna, I need you to do me a favor!” the deity turned to his daughter. “You’re my daughter, you’re the only one who can change my daughter! You need to show her YOUR methods of creation...”

“What are you two talking about, why can I not hear your whispering just like I hear the sky’s wind?” Celestia stood strong in her childlike curiosity as the deity told Luna what she had to do quietly.

“Sorry sister...” Luna remorsed apologetically as she flew up to Celestia while charging up a magic spell, “but father is right, you need to be steered in the right direction, for this is an udder outrage, and you’ve become a complete bully in this mess of bull! It’s time that you learned to create with love...”

“Wait, you can’t be.....NNOOOOO!” Celestia yelled as Luna’s big magic horn of darkness made her pregnant with a particular human...the human who would play a very important role in the present flashback to the past...

“I’ll tell you what to impede the questioning going on in your mind right now, because I really don’t like questions...” Celestia said two years later in the flashback to mollify the awkwardly confused crowd’s distress as they pondered over the shindig of the morality and immorality chips. “Whether you die living a life of morality or immorality, there will be a reward at the end. If you die good, you will get to go to Heaven, paradise for the good. If you die evil, you will get to go to Hell, paradise for the wicked!”

Immediately, the crowd of ponies and humans grew happy, as they felt assurance that there would be no consequences of their decisions of good and evil.

“And that’s just the way everyone works...” Celestia thought as she saw the crowd cheering. “As soon as they know there’s something in it for them on both paths, they’ll take any path they desire...suffering and gain truly are what life is about.”

“All right, it appears everyone is ready to make their selection,” Celestia had finished, as she wasn’t planning to sell them the lecture. “I’m pretty sure I don’t need to go over the rules again, you all listened carefully and got them down, right?”

“I listened to all of the rules, Celestia,” said a strange voice from the crowd, “but I don’t know them. Can you please explain them?”

The crowd instantly fell dead in their tracks of lively behavior, as Celestia looked at the perturbance with a disturbed look on her face.

“You...why did you...” Celestia was in horror. “Say that...SKY!!!”

“You’re looking pretty frustrated and on edge, Celestia...” the voice who was revealed to be of Sky saw the unfathomable rage in Celestia. “Are you angry?”

“Why would you ever say something like that?!” shouted Celestia. “You heard the words...knew the message...and you dare ask for more than that?! Are you...TRYING TO UNDERSTAND ME?!”

“I think he is,” said a voice who wanted to know Celestia better suggested, “I don’t get this good and evil thing, but I’ve always wanted to understand you, Celestia.”

Soon, a portion of the crowd drew near to Celestia saying they didn’t care about the chips, and wanted to understand Celestia better. Not understanding this motion of comprehension, Celestia was simply enraged.

“YOU OVERLY COMPLICATED SIMPLETONS!” Celestia screamed. “MY FATHER TRIED TO UNDERSTAND ME, AND LOOK WHAT HAPPENED BECAUSE OF IT! NO ONE WILL BE ABLE TO KNOW ME WITHOUT THERE BEING PAIN! AND I’LL PROVE IT!”

With a thunderous roar and a frigid stare, Celestia used the power of the chilling air to create a fiery raging inferno of heat that was so hot it burned through Sky and all of his neutral supporters, and bounced off those who were truly good and evil with their full intent to choose the chips.

“Oh no Celestia, what have you done?!” Luna heard the air blast from the ocean, and came to the disaster to see what was wrong with it. “You...killed Sky...”

“In my senseless rage out of good and evil...” Celestia gave an evil smile. “That’s where my powers come from...my full knowledge of good and evil as a disobedient offspring of a deity...I can’t destroy good and evil things with my own two ways of using magic...but I can very easily annihilate the neutral! And I won’t send them to the beautiful paradises I have created once they’re dead, I won’t even give them NOTHING! I’LL TURN THEM INTO NOTHING BY SENDING THEM TO THE PLACE I NAMED AFTER THE SOUNDS OF THE CREATURES THAT WERE SUPPOSED TO MAKE ME A GOD, BUT LED ME TO NOTHING BECAUSE OF YOU! I WILL SEND THEM ALL TO MU!”

“No, you will not assure that kind of future for our son!” Luna illuminated a different light in her horn once more. “YOU WILL RETURN HIM AND FULFILL HIM THE PRESENT OF LIFE!”

“Wait...you don’t really mean...NNOOOOO!!!” Celestia threw up Sky just as she threw the flashback in the fray of her mind in the present.

“And that’s when I lost my mind again...” Celestia went insane in her mental state. “I decided that if I couldn’t kill you, I would banish you to the human part of Equestria...and then I set up this entire little game in hopes that you would see the importance of good and evil. And to emphasize the importance, I started only letting the really good and the really evil into paradise. That’s why your stupid machine friend Twilight who thought she was a complete monster demon refugee by betraying me and putting both chips in her mind so she could one day do so again will never see the light of either paradise...Do you really want to end up like her, Sky?”

“Who knows?” Sky pondered over his own world’s mysteries. “And by the way, what’s the reason for all of these things going on? I really wish I could read your mind...”

“And I wish I could read yours...BECAUSE THEN I WOULD KNOW THE ANSWERS TO EVERYTHING!” Celestia was too generous in her description of Sky’s unfathomable mind. “YOU FAIL TO UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU HAVEN’T EVEN LISTENED TO! HOW CAN YOU EVEN LISTEN TO WHAT I’M COMMANDING OF YOUR OWN HEART?!”

“My heart can be commanded?” Sky asked. “I thought that both ways, it had involuntary functions.”

“Sky...you may notice in your foolish understanding of details that my appearance has changed since we last met...” Celestia told him that he had noticed that Celestia was now wearing blue armor. “When I was exposed to great light from the sun...my appearance changed from the color of dark to a pearly kind of dark...SKY blue. It’s crystal clear to even the most blind that we were meant to bond together...if you turned evil, we could make a great new world together in the land of Nomu. To show you how generous I am in the act of selling my offers, I’ll ask you just one more time...will you be evil...OR THE NOT?!”

Sky thought about this complicated and philosophically simple question, and in a few seconds, had made his true last choice of final decisions.

“You’ll have my apologies after I’ve finished saying this...” Sky was thankful for the offer he was given, “but I can’t be evil. Evil may be where good ultimately came from, and it can eventually lead to the creation of good, but to me, it just doesn’t feel good. I guess I truly am the not.”

“Oh, you’re more than that.” Celestia made a very good effort at an evil smile. “Your decision to reject evil has given you the universe.....FOR THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE SHALL BE THE NOT ALONG WITH YOU! YOU WILL BE DESTROYED. ALONG....WITH.....EVERYTHING!”

At the moments meant to be the last, Celestia grew really big, really big like in the sense that she bigger than the state of having big quality. She then ate everything around her, including the palace of Nomu and the paradise of Heaven and Hell, ALONG...WITH...EVERYTHING excluding Sky, for he was a nothing. She combined it all for a downgrade fusion, one that would make anything that could possibly be downgraded or upgraded a meaningless change...

“THIS IS THE FINAL ENDING!” Celestia bellowed as the magic created from her ultimate downgrade fusion came out of what was in her pants, and went to her horn. “THIS SPELL WILL BE SO POWERFUL IT WILL DESTROY EVERYTHING I HAVEN’T EATEN, EVEN ME! THEN EVERYTHING WILL BE IN ETERNAL BONDAGE IN THE NOTHINGNESS, INCLUDING MOTHER AND SON! I HOPE YOU LOVE ME, BECAUSE THAT’S ALL YOU’LL EVER BE FOR THE REST OF ETERNITY!”

Celestia’s horn fired an unbelievably all-powerful spell that had so much power, it would destroy anything that even had a remote sense of belief in the presence of the forms of power at Sky.

“So I know what will happen to me when I die...” Sky saw his own death. “I wonder what will happen when this is all over...”

“Sky, haven’t you learned anything from everything that’s happened so far?” said Twilight’s voice. “Even when the ending is all over...it’s not over...”

And just like that, it was the ending...for Celestia. She lost. In what had previously been planned to be her victory, she lost. The evil of Twilight’s heart had reached Sky’s mind after all, for he knew about good thanks to her! Because Sky was not neutral any more, the magic reflected off of him, and it only came back on Celestia...

“Wait...the only destruction that can result from this means...NNNNNOOOOO!” Celestia thought about something on the level of her own mind as she was about to be destroyed by her own magic. “NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS TO THE NO!!!!!”

There was a shining radiant light of magnificent brightness magnifying itself through the translucent air that used pellucid light to shine divine holy aurora beams into the eyes of the holy as Celestia died, and Sky found himself in another special place, one that belonged to Luna.

“Hello Sky...congrats on finding the truth of the true final ending.” Luna introduced Sky to her bedroom that had appeared.

“So the final ending has finally concluded, I wonder what will happen after that...” Sky replied as he looked around the bedroom and saw that there was a bed, there were dolls everywhere, Luna was sitting at a table with a toy tea set, and she was pregnant. “So what is this place?”

“This is me...” Luna described herself for the life of her and everyone. “Father knew that time was destined to end after Celestia went crazy, so every living creature that has died has been destined to return to me. Everything that has been created that is good shall live on inside my uterus, and they shall experience the joy of growing and being created with me for all eternity...”

“What about the evil things?” Sky wanted to know about another presence. Where’s Twilight?”

“Twilight is right here, Sky.” Luna held out a doll of Twilight. “The spirits of all the evil creatures are now in these dolls, and because they’re inanimate objects, they’re not even aware of the fact that they’re real. They never lived a true life, so they will never live again forever...”

“Poor Twilight...” Sky felt sympathy for Twilight. “She protected me in her evil ways, but I was never able to do anything for her...”

“Even though the dolls aren’t alive, I like to have a tea party with them every now and what will be then...” Luna had chairs around the round table that were the seats for Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Celestia. “Thinking about what things would be like if they were a part of me...”

“Not to be selfish, but...what about me?” Sky asked. “Is what Celestia said still true? Are the fates of the neutral...just to become nothing?”

“Sky...as long as your mind and spirit continue to imagine things and you defy the presence of nothing inside of you,” Luna said her final words of wisdom to her son, “you will never become nothing.”

Sky understood what Luna said, and he felt...good.

“I...I now have a complete understanding of good, evil...and neutrality,” Sky became complete in both reality and in his imagination. “I feel...complete again now.”

“Sky, the remainder of this universe is in darkness now, meaning that even my bedroom filled with the lights of dreams is the darkness.” Luna tried to complete the message of hope. “Even though you are neutral, you still have good and evil in you from Twilight, and can live here forever in the darkness.”

“That sounds amazing.” Sky replied in amazement to show that he was amazed.

“And also...take this with you Sky.” said Luna as she put the doll of Twilight in Sky’s hands. “In a way, she created you...even though she’s gone, I think she’ll be happier to be with her creation more than she’ll be happy to be with her creator.”

“So that’s what happened...” Sky remembered the good times of his friend’s last moments. “I’ve never been more glad to know that the universe was a true story!”

“Let’s go Sky!” Luna was prepared to be a leader in leading Sky to the tea party. “The journey  has just begun!”

“This truly is a dark day for the creation of magic, happiness, and love!” Sky loved as he hugged Luna having finally been enlightened in this dark world of transcending light.

Epilogue

In the present world of the past of Fluttershy's Dark Sky...

"Well, the threat of those silly cupcakes is going to be gone soon," the trio of pegasi said triumphantly as they were still ascending higher in the dark sky. "The end of our song is going to be the beginning of our victory!"

"I'm an admitted defeatist!" Spike shouted in surrender as he was still being carried by Derpy Hooves. "Now get me off this merry-go-round in the sky called life!"

"Every battle's end results in the beginning of two victories, Spike." Derpy shared some words of wisdom with him.

"Yes..." said a voice. "A villain's victory eventually leads to the victory of a hero. A hero's victory eventually leads to the victory of a villain. But normally, that's eventually, and now, this eventuality will be the beginning in the present scenario..."

"So...who's the hero and who's the villain here?" everyone was so curious, that they failed to concentrate and didn't notice a rift opening in the universe below them.

"The villain is not here..." another Derpy Hooves that appeared gave an evil smile of stupid innocence. "HE IS THERE!"

"Hey, it's me!" Derpy happily pointed out the obvious as the darkness was rising.

And suddenly, everything went dark as they were sucked into the rift.

"Hey wait a minute!" shouted the black pegasus as the rift had teleported them to the end of the present future. "This isn't what happened in the past!"

"Of course it's not, because this is the present!" declared Discord as he appeared to them as the darkness gained a sunny desert oasis appearance. "Welcome to the future!"

"Wait a second, I remember this place!" the orange pegasus recognized the place as he looked around. "This is the Desolate Desert of Distorted Drug Delusions! They say that all hardcore stoners come here when they die! What happened?"

"Relax, the fact that you're alive and well here at the end of time proves you're not dead, you silly goblins!" Derpy laughed as she and another Derpy Hooves appeared at Discord's sides.

"Meet my number one assistant, Derpy Hooves!" Discord introduced the pony on his right side. "I extracted the good childhood innocent derpiness from her spirit in the future, and put it inside another Derpy that I will one day call Luna..."

"What do you think of my daughters, Dark Sky?" Discord cackled in a discordant tone.

"H-how are you even free?" Spike asked in fear. "I thought you were stoned!"

"I was..." Discord prepared to elaborate, "...and as so, it would be my destiny in the future to eventually become dust and turn into nothing. But in the future, I will not accept such a fate! I will use my powers of chaos to defy the nothingness and become a deity in my own universe of nothing! In that future, I mixed the past, present, and future, ALL INTO IN ONE TIMELINE, SO I COULD GO BACK INTO THE PAST AND ENLIST YOUR HELP FOR THE FUTURE! AND BECAUSE ALL THE TIME IS POLYMERIZED TOGETHER, IT WON'T EFFECT ANYTHING BUT MAKE IT GO JUST AS I PLANNED!"

"WAIT...and our help?" the orange pegasus replied. "What are we going to do for you?"

"..." the gray pegasus helped the argument silently.

"You will be transformed as well as transcended into the beloved creations of my future!" Discord cast a magic spell of chaos that transformed them all.

After the spell was over, Spike had transformed into a cow, Derpy and the other Derpy had transformed into the deity's daughters, Celestia and Luna, and the trio had turned into Robot Alicorns Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Twilight.

"Go forth and multiply, you silly butler!" Discord laughed at the cow Spike, as he started involuntarily cloning himself thanks to Discord's chaos magic. "All of you will be in my new world of nothing with no memory of this, so that my world shall continue in an endless time loop FOREVER!"

"This is some really messed up stuff, Discord!" the trio and Spike shouted as all of them vanished, and all of them were teleported to Discord's world, filling in the past, present, and future roles where it was all appropriate.

"And I'm not done..." Discord rubbed his hands together as Fluttershy appeared in front of him, "I have a BIG SURPRISE prepared for you!

"Wh-what are you going to do to me?!" Fluttershy trembled as she was at Discord's mercy.

"ENJOY YOUR TRANSCENDENCE, HERO!" Discord transformed Fluttershy, and soon, she was inside Celestia's uterus.

"Hmm...so this is what it's like to be prepared for being born..." the being who would soon be named Sky thought inside of Celestia. "I wonder what will happen..."

The True Ending of the Dark Sky's Transcendence: The True Beginning

And that's Transcending Fluttershy's Dark Sky. You may or may not have liked it, but I definitely think we can agree that it's not my best work. Though it was a parody, it just doesn't hold up with how forced so much of it is. I felt it was important to finally share it though, as looking back at where I went wrong with it served as a guiding tool that helped me improve my writing and do better with the sequels that followed. But before I post the other lost Dark Sky story here, there's another fanfic I wrote recently that I'd like to share...

Spoiler

Maud Pie Reacts to Teen Titans Go!.

What could that be about? Stay tuned...

[Metal Snake]

Story: Maud Pie Reacts to Teen Titans Go!

Original Debut Date: April 1, 2016

“You guys!” Pinkie Pie exclaimed. “You have to see this video! It’s unbelievable!”

 

Pinkie yelled that at Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Rarity, and Fluttershy, who were all in the same room, her bedroom, watching Pinkie on her computer typing in “Maud Pie Reacts to Teen Titans Go!” on the YouTube search bar. The highest ranking videos showed up as she entered the search, and clicking on the highest ranked one, which was called the same thing Pinkie had typed in, “Maud Pie Reacts to Teen Titans Go!”.

 

The video began playing…

 

In it, Maud Pie was sitting at a laptop, watching an episode of Teen Titans Go! called “Kicking a Ball and Pretending to Be Hurt” online. Like one would expect, she sat in silence the whole time giving the computer screen an apathetic glare.

 

“I don’t get it,” said Rainbow Dash in reaction to the reaction video, “it’s just a typical reaction video showing how the typical person reacts to an episode of this show.”

 

“But look at what happens at the end…” Pinkie replied as the video reached the part where Maud was questioned.

 

“So what did you think about that episode?” a man asked Maud, holding a microphone by her mouth.

 

“It was about terrible people doing stupid and awful things that didn’t make me laugh.” Maud Pie gave her opinion with full honesty.

 

“That’s...more stating a fact than giving your opinion...sadly.” the man with the microphone replied. “Do you….have any personal thoughts regarding the content you just viewed?”

 

“It’s content that I don’t care about.” Maud told it straight again.

 

In response, the man, though his face wasn’t shown in the video, got a look of apathy on his face. One that was too familiar...

 

Pinkie Pie stopped the video there and turned to her friends.

 

“You see?” she asked them.

 

“No,” replied Rainbow, “we’re blind. Blind to what the hay you’re trying to convey to us.”

 

“I’ve...gotta concur with Rainbow Dash here, Pinkie.” Applejack chimed in. “I’m equally confused.”

 

“I’m confused too,” intervened Fluttershy, “but more at the fact that we have the internet here in Equestria. It’s spooky. Who knows what naughty stuff Angel could be looking up right now...”  

 

At Fluttershy’s cottage…

 

Sure enough, Angel was enjoying himself while watching videos on the internet...videos of carrots being chopped and diced into stew. Holding a carrot beside him, he loved every second of what he saw as he rubbed his carrot and drooled over it.

 

“Don’t worry yourself,” said Rarity, “Fluttershy dear. There are worse things in this world than naughty stuff. I know from firsthand experience...”

 

“Girls!” Pinkie yelled. “That’s not what this is about at all! Actually, in a weird way, it could be what this is about, because we’re dealing with a problem here involving something worse than naughty stuff…”

 

“What...problem?” Twilight Sparkle asked in confusion.

 

“This!” Pinkie replied as she scrolled down to the comments section of the video. Looking at it, every other pony besides Rainbow Dash gasped. The comments section was filled with rude people fighting, repeatedly complaining about how Teen Titans Go! was ruining Cartoon Network, and demanding that people sign petitions for it to be canceled, in hopes that it would get Cartoon Network back to the way it once was.

 

“Oh wow, the Youtube comment sections are awful, hope you’re enjoying your first day on the internet.” Rainbow remarked sarcastically.

 

“This is my first day looking at the internet,” replied Rarity, “and for the life of me, what is this savagery?!”  

 

“This is insane…” Twilight commented on the comments. “Whatever Maud had been watching couldn’t have been bad enough to demand all of this…”

 

“These people have serious problems…” Applejack said bemusedly, reading the abrasive comments. “And one of them is that they need to get actual problems to worry about…”

 

Upon hearing Applejack’s remarks, Rainbow Dash smirked and chuckled to herself, unbeknownst to the others…

 

“I know Applejack,” said Pinkie Pie, “and that’s why we need to help them!”

 

“Uh...how?” Applejack asked in puzzlement.

 

“We need to help them get Cartoon Network back!” Pinkie proclaimed heroically as she stood on the computer chair she had been sitting on and held out her right foreleg, striking a dramatic pose.

 

In response, all of her friends just stared at her in confoundment before Rainbow Dash told her sarcastically…

 

“Well good luck with that!”

 

Rainbow then left Pinkie’s place. Looking around when she came outside, she made sure nopony else was around before she got out her cell phone and called somebody up.

 

“Boss…” she told the one who was on the other line. “I believe it’s time we release the M.V.P. on the general populace of YouTube…”

 

Later…

 

In Ponyville town square, there was a vendor, a blue, blonde-maned and yellow tailed unicorn, who was running a comic book stand called Comical Comics. There, he was selling comics to ponies who were in line.

 

“Don’t get mad, get MAD!” the merchant proclaimed as one of his satisfied customers trotted off happily with an issue of MAD magazine.   

 

“Hello, sir!” the merchant greeted the next customer, a buff earth pony. “I must say, you’ve got a heroic stature! I’ll take it you fancy Marvel and DC! Or does something like this better suit your avatar?”

 

The merchant held out an issue of a Marvel comic and an issue of a DC comic in one hoof, and an issue of an Avatar: The Last Airbender comic in the other hoof. This vendor’s name was Panel Peddler, a comic book salesman as his name implied. For three years, he had made a living off of selling entertainment to others, but no amount of experience in the business industry could’ve prepared him for what was about to happen next…

 

All of a sudden, the sound of the stomping footsteps and blaring trunks of elephants could be heard. Panel Peddler, his customers, and many other ponies in the vicinity turned to face...Pinkie Pie riding an elephant. She was leading Applejack, Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, and Fluttershy through town as they too were each on their own elephant following behind. With her, Pinkie Pie had a radio that was playing “The Emperor’s New Clothes” by Panic! At the Disco and a megaphone in her right front hoof.

 

“ATTENTION, PONYVILLE!” Pinkie declared aloud through the megaphone. “The time has come to make our stand, our rebellion! We must rally ourselves up, and take back Cartoon Network for the people!”

The townsponies were confused upon hearing this and began talking amongst themselves.

 

“What? What’s Cartoon Network?” one pony asked over the sound of others muttering.

 

“Who are people?” another pony asked, unaware of who humans were. “Is that a fancy word for a herd?”

 

“What is this music?” a worried, devil-fearing pony asked. “It sounds so Astarothic!”

 

Twilight noticed how puzzled the ponies were from above her elephant and then turned to Pinkie.

 

“Pinkie, I don’t think this is working.” Twilight told her. “There’s nothing wrong with what we’re doing in trying to help those people, but I don’t think that making a noise like this is the way to do it.”

 

“Come on Twilight,” replied Pinkie, “we don’t need to be understood, we just need to be heard!”

 

“Um...come again?” a confounded Twilight retorted.

 

“Don’t tell me you actually understood what the lot of those people in that comments section were talking about!” Pinkie exclaimed. “But we still noticed them! And now we’re doing something about their problem! You see how it works? Stoics finish last! Only the loud, rambunctious, and outspoken get what they want!”

 

“It’s true…” Fluttershy said somberly. “Case in point right here…”

 

Fluttershy was referring to the elephant she was on, who was now right by Panel Peddler’s stand. Making a loud noise with its trunk, Fluttershy’s elephant wrapped its trunk around all of Panel’s issues of the Peanuts comics and devoured them.

 

“Hey!” Panel exclaimed, trying to avoid being harsh of tone. “You can’t do that!”

 

The elephant smacked Panel out of his stand with his trunk and continued to stomp by laughing. An obviously bemused Panel sulked on the ground.

 

“Why couldn’t he have at least just done that to the Family Circus comics…” he grumbled. “This won’t go unpunished…”

 

“Uh-oh…” Pinkie said, having seen what happened to Panel. “Maybe this is getting out of…”

 

“CONTROLLING THE MASSES WITH ELEPHANTS?!” Princess Celestia screamed insanely as the five ponies and Panel Peddler were seen in her throne room. “ARE YOU GETTING OUT OF YOUR MINDS?!”

 

“No, just out of control.” Pinkie replied.

 

“What Panel has told me has driven me MAD!” Celestia cried. “And not like the Cartoon Network show! It pains me to do this, but I must hand down some penalties!”

 

“Princess, please!” Twilight pleaded. “We didn’t mean for Panel’s comics to get destroyed! We’ll do what we can to help-”

 

“THAT’S NOT THE PROBLEM HERE!” Celestia hollered.

 

“HUH?!” the ponies all shouted, flabbergasted. “Then...what is?!”

 

In response, Celestia clapped her hooves together twice. The lights turned off, and when they turned back on, two ponies who were dressed in white shirts, black suits, and red ties and bore an uncanny resemblance to Maud Pie appeared in front of the gang. One wore a mask that looked like Charles Schultz’s face, and the other wore a mask that looked like Brendon Urie’s face.

 

“You are being sued for copyright infringement!” Celestia yelled.

 

The group just stared at the situation blankly and said…

 

“...Really?!”

 

“Yes,” said the Charles Schultz-masked pony in an uncannily familiar and dull voice, “I represent the sixteen-year late Charles Schultz.”

 

“And I represent the fashionably late to the party Brendon Urie.” the Brendon Urie-masked pony told them, also speaking in an oddly familiar and drab monotone.

 

“On Mr. Schultz’ behalf,” explained the Charles Schultz-masked pony, “I am suing you, Panel Peddler, for the unauthorized use of our copyrighted product, Peanuts, mass solicitation to a certain massive consumer.”

 

“As for you five,” said the Brendon Urie-masked pony, “you are being sued for the unauthorized use of a licensed song, The Emperor’s New Clothes. I am afraid your remix of it involving elephants stomping and blaring does not fall under Fair Use as it did not produce an original beat. It is merely noise that takes no thought process to produce, and I’m afraid that there is a wide-scale copyright on such.”  

 

The group still stared at the situation blankly and said…

 

“...REALLY?!”

 

“STOP SHOUTING!” Celestia shouted. “I AM THE YELLER BELLY HERE!”

 

“How do you expect us to react?” Panel asked. “What, do you just want us to stand here and go, “Oh, we’re being unjustly extorted. Oh well, that happens.”?”

 

An awkward silence filled the room before the Schultz-masked pony said…

 

“Yeah. That’s exactly how we wanted you to react. That’s also exactly how everyone should react to being wronged. To just put aside their emotions and accept it. It’s what they end up doing in the end anyways. We know this, as we were once the kings of reaction videos...”

 

“And soon,” said the Urie-masked pony in an ominous tone, “that’s exactly how everyone will react. Once we release the M.V.P., the Maud Virus of Pie-provision, upon the general public, we can guarantee that no one will care. Mwa ha ha.”

 

With that dull guffaw, the Urie-masked pony pulled a peculiar-looking gun out of his suit. It resembled a tranquilizer gun, but instead of a sleep-inducing injection, the needles it fired were laced with a gray and purple fluid that caused a...transformative effect. Immediately when the Urie-masked pony drew this gun, he shot Panel Peddler square in the heart with one of these needles. Instantly, he fell to the floor from shock, and began writhing on the ground as he felt the liquid from the needle flow through his body and watched in horror as he saw the effect it was having on him…

 

“Awaah…” Panel made a fearful sound as he watched the fur on his body turn from blue to gray, both his yellow hair and tail change to a purple color, and his body structure change from that of a stallion’s to that of a mare’s. “AWAAH...aaahh.”

 

Panel’s tone in voice went from terrified to mollified as soon as he finished transforming into a mare that was indistinguishable from Maud Pie. He got up off of the floor, looked at himself, and said…

 

“Oh, this is different.”

 

 

The ponies gasped in horror as Pinkie Pie broke down crying.

 

“How will I ever introduce him to my family now?!” Pinkie exclaimed. “It will feel so weird and wrong!”

 

“Fear not…” the Urie-masked pony said with a sinister smile as he started reloading the tranq-like gun with another M.V.P. laced needle, as the slide had locked. “Soon, you won’t feel anything except for the desire to not feel anything…”

 

But before he could finish reloading the tranq-like gun, a stray bullet hit said gun and knocked it out of his hoof. Confused, the two masked ponies turned to the source of the bullet. They saw that outside a window, Rainbow Dash, who was wearing sunglasses and had a M1911 pistol in her hoof, was flying in the air. She had shot the tranq-like gun out of the pony with the Brendon Urie mask’s hoof in order to save her friends and give them a chance to strike back, which they took. All of them with the exception of the Maud Pie-turned Panel, who didn’t care, charged at the masked ponies and jumped on them, pinning them down to the floor. They then threw off their masks to reveal that they were actually…

 

Maud Pie and Maud Pie.

 

“I KNEW IT!” Celestia bellowed. “And by that, I knew for a fact all along! After all, I was part of their evil plot!”

 

“What a twist!” Pinkie exclaimed. “And I thought the traitor was going to be the one wearing the sunglasses!”

 

“Hey, I’m the traitor here!” Rainbow yelled from outside. “I’m the one wearing the sunglasses!”

 

“Oh, somepony help me…” Rarity said, ready to faint. “I just can’t follow this anymore…”

 

“Then allow us to explain…” the Maud Pies offered to elaborate. “We are not just duplicates of Maud Pie. Before we were infected with the virus, the M.V.P., we were two adequate enough men known as the Fine Bros. That’s right, we were the ones who had Maud Pie come on our YouTube show to react to that Teen Titans Go! episode.”

 

“But why?” the group asked in surprise.

 

“Money.” Rainbow said in a deadpan tone.

 

“Not only that,” the Maud Pies continued, “but also, we wanted to spread a message to the Youtube community. That this was the way it was meant to be. This was how we wanted everybody to react to things they didn’t like from now on. To just sit back, say nothing, and not care as moments of their “precious” lives were wasted. That video shall remain an eternal monument to the day our world was changed forever, made anew as part of...the React World Order.”

 

“But why would you want no one to care about anything anymore?” Panel, though now Maud Pie, asked. “I mean, look at me now, and even I would still get bored in a world where no one ever reacted to something with actual emotion.”

 

“I’m already bored with how everypony’s just standing around asking questions and not giving a flying feather that I totally sold them out…” Rainbow remarked unhappily.

 

“True,” replied the Maud Pie-turned Fine Bros, “but you would get over it if you absolutely had to. You don’t honestly think that a mind not willing to sacrifice their personal feelings for the sake of the world could change it for the better, do you? Something that both the Equestrian race and human race have begun to realize is that emotions have no value or meaning in the face of the world’s evolution and what must be done to set its course…”

 

“The human race?” the group asked.

 

“Yes…” the Fine Bros. Maud Pies answered. “We were once humans, and so were our fans before we unleashed the M.V.P. on them. Thanks to your defecting friends, Princess Celestia and Rainbow Dash, we were able to create this wonderful virus. Celestia was the one who, with her magic, made the virus out of a DNA sample from Maud Pie, which was given to her by Rainbow Dash under her request. Rainbow then gave the virus to us and acted as the go-between for us and Celestia. In short, both we and your ruler plotted out everything together.”

 

“Inconceivable…” the dumbstruck group replied. “When you say it like that, it’s hard for us to get mad at Rainbow Dash. What choice did she have?”

 

“Oh, for Pete’s sake!” Rainbow exclaimed. “They weren’t threatening to torture me or kill me if I didn’t comply! Can’t you be just, I don’t know, a little bit angry at me for being the Judas of this story?! Or at least question why I was able to save you guys from being transformed but not that other innocent dude?! Show just a little bit of emotion?! Who cares that you’re going to get over it later?! How will I know later if you don’t tell me your true feelings now?!”

 

“Your true feelings now?!” Rainbow’s words echoed in Twilight Sparkle’s mind...and in turn, Twilight realized something…

 

“Hey guys…” Twilight spoke. “I’ve learned something today. This whole issue has gotten really overcomplicated and out of hoof. On one side, I can see the logic behind this whole React World Order thing. There are problems in our lives we should just ignore because there is no real solution to them that’s within our grasp. Even though our efforts were valiant in trying to help those Youtubers out, did parading a bunch of elephants through the land really do anything for them?”

 

Pinkie looked down to the floor, frowning in embarrassment.

 

“But on the other side,” continued Twilight, “to just try to solve all our problems by ignoring them and even going so far as to deny feeling any sort of emotion about them...isn’t that the same thing as denying life? What’s the point of living if you can’t have an emotional reaction to new experiences? How will you ever mentally and spiritually mature if the way you respond to everything new is just…”Oh. This is different.””

 

The Maud Pie-turned Panel Peddler looked down to the floor, feeling silly.

 

“It’s also selfish in cases like this.” Twilight noted. “Rainbow’s our friend, and we totally ignored her when she deserved constructive criticism for what she did. How will she learn not to betray us in the future if we don’t correct her now? If we show her we don’t care now, it won’t be authentic if we just act like we care later when we’ve gotten over it.”

 

Twilight and the others then turned to Rainbow Dash.

 

“So Rainbow,” they said, “we’re sorry for not getting angry at you.”

 

Rainbow smiled in response.

 

“So to abridge the lesson you learned Twilight,” said the Maud Pie-turned Panel, “is that sometimes, apathy is golden, but other times, expression of your true feelings is golden.”

 

“AND TO EXPAND ON THAT,” abruptly shouted Celestia, “FRIENDS SHOULDN’T BE ABLE TO GET AWAY WITH BEING JERKS TO YOU, BECAUSE TRUE FRIENDS CRITICIZE EACH OTHER FOR THEIR IMMORAL BEHAVIOR! BUT AS LONG AS YOU’RE A RAGING INTERNET DEGENERATE OR A CORPORATE SCUMBAG, YOU CAN GET AWAY WITH WHATEVER THE TARTARUS YOU WANT AND NO ONE WILL GIVE A DAMNATION!”

 

“Wow!” everyone in the throne room exclaimed, smiling widely. “You really couldn’t have said it better!”    

 

And so ends the story of Maud Pie’s reaction to Teen Titans Go!. It mattered not what happened after with the M.V.P. or if anyone else was infected by it, for we all become Maud Pie at one point of our lives. So to end this, allow me to say one more thing…

 

Upon reading this, a human man sitting on his computer chair witnessed his human hands transforming into hooves lined with gray fur. The same happened with his feet as his human ears became pony ears. His midsection contorted and stretched into an equine shape and so did his rear end as a purple tail grew out of it. The man’s hair, once brown, then became purple. His face changed shape too as part of it stretched out to form a snout. Now a purple-haired earth pony covered in gray fur, the man’s transformation into Maud Pie completed as his blue eyes gained a shade of green, and the first sight that caught his eyes in his new state of being was this on his computer screen…

 

Merry April Fools!

This will be the last story I post before this anthology goes on hiatus. But don't worry, because following this going on hiatus, is going to be the return of your favorite collection of truthful teasers. ;D And so here we go with the last story for the time being, it's the other lost Dark Sky story...

Story: Lightening Fluttershy's Dark Sky

Original Debut Date: May 3, 2013

Episode 1: Fluttershy Becomes a Knight

The sky of the night is darkness. The sky of the day is light. The prologue of the beginning and the ending is the story of darkness and light.

The third day after the second trial of Rarity’s celestial transcendence to become an immortal...

It was a beautiful, harmonious, brightly sunny, impossibly perfect day in the magical land of Equestria, and one can only know what that means. Fluttershy, the kindest, most loving, pure-hearted killer in all of the land, was in her upstairs bedroom sleeping in bed in preparation for a special night. Two days had passed since she had successfully kidnapped Rarity and held her captive in her basement, and as a reward, Celestia had offered her a reward for her to claim at a special dinner at her castle this special night.

“I don’t understand...what does that mean?” Fluttershy wondered as she slept. Why would Celestia offer me a reward just for doing my work? Why do I deserve honor? Who am I?”

Meanwhile, downstairs in the basement, the captured Rarity was having a similar thought...

“I don’t understand...what does she mean?” Rarity wondered as she slept. “Why is she offering me a punishment as a reward?! Why do I deserve death?! WHAT AM I?!”

The two awoke themselves from their slumber with their unconscious interrogations and thoughts and temporarily lost their conscious trains of thought.

“Why did I ask that?” Fluttershy said as she regained her train of thought. “I know who I am at heart. I’m a killer...a monster who chose to walk the kind-hearted path of the eponymous entity called Fluttershy.”

“Why did I ask that?” Rarity said as she regained her train of thought. “I don’t answer for myself...sleeping beauties like me do not answer questions...sleeps like these in times like these are a rarity...”

“I think it was because I remember Rarity asking me so many questions in her episode...” said Fluttershy, not knowing the context of what she just said as Rarity fell back asleep downstairs. “It reminded me so much of...his episode...”

Fluttershy peered down and looked over up at the black glass jar she had taped under her bed. She tore off the tape, and brought the jar into the light in a prepositioned manner. It was a souvenir she had purchased for eight bits at the Crystal Empire gift shop...a puzzle she bought for Rarity to play with while she was at work, the smithereened shatterings of the Crystal Empire’s former dark emperor, King Sombra. Fluttershy was hesitant to give it to Rarity however, for this was no ordinary puzzle...The remnants of King Sombra were enshrouded with a dark cloud that spelled a gloomy prophecy of light on the mind of any whopony touched it. In words on Fluttershy’s mind, it was engraved in the following words...

Sombra Proudly Presents

Some days, I wish I am arisen. Some days I wish to sleep.

Some nights, I do not wish to live. Some nights, I wish to die.

Some lives, I wish I am imaginary. Some lives, I wish I am fantasy.

Some deaths, I wish I understood. Some deaths, I wish I knew why.

What do I want? One is not made beautiful from one thing.

That does not make one rise to be a game king.

That is balls! Seven arias on priest’s tiaras do not sing!

They must be sung! Blades at bay and scepters from the fray shall protect my ring!

 

That is all that shall concern my being.

What is the answer to my riddle? Did you like my poem? That is the answer. NOCTE!

P.S. If you get the right answer and solve me, I shall be your best friend for all eternity.

                                                                                                                                       Love,

                                                                                                                                    Sombra

“I don’t know if she’s even going to like this silly thing...” Fluttershy sighed. “I personally don’t mind the fact that it’s in my mind, but there’s one thing in it that doesn’t make sense to me...Did you like my poem? It’s so weird...I just don’t know...”

“THAT IS THE ANSWER!” Fluttershy heard a voice in her head that frightened her so much, she almost went crazy. She got even closer to insanity as she started to have serious hallucinations that threw her so out of whack, she overlooked the fact that a literal incarnation of her mind taking the form of her brain was crawling out of her ears and onto her bed.

“Fluttershy, when are you going to stop sleeping and feed me?!” Fluttershy’s body started to shout at Fluttershy. “Don’t you love your meat, you young bag?!”

“What is going on?!” Fluttershy yelled with great spirit as her aura went everywhere. “I can’t move my body or think my mind!”

“WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO THINK ME?” Sombra asked as Fluttershy’s mind turned into Sombra’s shadow form, which began to engulf the room. “YOU SHOULD BE THINKING ABOUT THANKING ME!”

Fluttershy tried to scream, but she didn’t have the spirit to do so, so she just curled up and felt weird as the darkness completely consumed her...

One question later...

“WHERE AM I?!” was the question Fluttershy tried to ask when she woke up in a giant glass jar, but the words didn’t have any sound. Fluttershy could see their aura, but they just bounced off a glass jar and hit her right back in what represented her face. She used that face to look over to her left and was horrified by what she saw...her headless body in another glass jar staring at Fluttershy’s phoenix feather on the glass floor with what was left of her sight.  

“???????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Fluttershy was filled with confused and frightened emotions as she staggered back against the jar and accidentally possessed it like Nightmare Moon would.

“I feel so empty...” Fluttershy no longer even contained her former self. “I thought I was immortal...but now...I’M DEAD!”

“YOU’RE NOT DEAD...” an evil voice laughed. “YOU’VE JUST BEEN CUT IN THREE...BUT THE ONE WHO DID THAT...WAS ME!”

“AAAAAHHHHH!” Fluttershy fell over and exploded into a million pieces of glass smithereens as the voice’s speaker was revealed. “You’re.....SOMBRA! What do you want with me?!”

“WHAT DO I WANT? NOTHING FROM YOU!” Sombra explained. “ALL I WANT IS TO MAKE YOU BE WHAT YOU WANT THROUGH WISHES THREE, NOT TWO!”

“Wishes?” Fluttershy asked as her spirit came out of the broken glass. “I thought the reward for solving the puzzle was getting to be your friend, not getting wishes! That is so shallow, a selfish desire won’t get me out of this mess!”

“AND A FRIEND WHO IS ME YOU SHALL HAVE, FLUTTERSHY!” Sombra said with residential amicability. “BUT FRIENDS ARE WISHES TOO, AND SO ARE YOU, OH MARE WHO IS NOT PINKIE PIE!”

“Sombra, I don’t need half an eye to see that I’m not Pinkie Pie,” replied Fluttershy, “but a whole half of the brain that crawled out of me is baffled and unable to know why you just said that I am a wish. How can an abstract concept...be I?!”

“FOOLISH MARE, ALL ABSTRACT CONCEPTS ARE WE!” Sombra boasted to Fluttershy, whose head he thought was like concrete. “IT IS THE FORM THAT EVERYONE SHALL BECOME, JUST LIKE ONE WHO WANTS TO BE ME!...DID YOU LIKE MY SIMILE?”

“This doesn’t make anything like sense at all, it’s like as if I’ve been sucked into an alternate, metaphorical universe!” Fluttershy made a proem out of the problem. “Yes, that would at least explain why you’re always rhyming!”

“THE IMPACT OF THIS UNIVERSE IS NOT WHAT CAUSED MY RHYMING!” Sombra blushed. “I JUST LIKE TO DO IT ALL THE TIMING! LIKE RIGHT THERE, NO NEED TO CARE!”

“Sombra, I can forgive you and accept the fact that you’re causing me to suffer by sucking me into this very strange world, killing me, and cutting me in three...” Fluttershy remembered that she had somewhere to be. “But if you don’t put me back together and give my spirit back my phoenix feather, others are going to suffer besides me...and you! So show some empathy...NO! Now I’m doing it too!”

“WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? YOU SOUND LIKE WATER OUT OF A FISH!” Sombra was hurt, for he never wanted Fluttershy to be hurt. “I NEVER KILLED YOU, I JUST CUT YOU IN THREE SO I COULD REASSEMBLE YOU AND YOUR THREE DESIRES AS ONE WISH!”

“What are my desires?!” said Fluttershy like light being revealed on a box that a butterfly grew up in. “I’m an immortal tool meant to be used as a cog in Celestia’s plan, I have no desires!”

“AGAIN, YOU ARE WRONG!” Sombra bellowed. “IN A SECOND, YOUR MISCONCEPTION WILL BE FANTASY! A SECOND WON’T TAKE LONG!”

Faster than instantaneously, Sombra turned on the lights, and what Fluttershy saw was something so real that it threw her into a phase of arbitrary belief. To the left of her jarred headless body was an empty jar where her mind was supposed to be. Underneath Sombra was a small glass jar that his shadow form was coming out of. To the right of him was a big, strange urn-like jar that had three question marks on its top, middle, and bottom. They looked like they marked the symbols for doorways, as they looked like they could be opened and left ajar for a while, just like a door...

“This mystic jar is what I used to cut you and your desires in three, carefully conserved,” Sombra lowered his voice in lieu of the emotional tension. “Your desires are...”

“Love!” the top door opened. “Spirit!” the middle door opened. “Death!” the last door opened.

“The top door opening reveals your severed head, and the bottom two doors reveal the rest of your new shadow body, as you have just observed...” Sombra chuckled. “That’s my present that I shall send, I hope you like it my friend...”

“...How can you do all this?” Fluttershy was still puzzled. “You use all this dark magic to grant my wishes for my disbenefit...and you want to be my friend? You must be a mage...or a genie...or...”

A MAGENIEUS...” Sombra grinned evilly. “I am a mage and a genie in one, and now...ONE WILL BE US!”

As the last jar began to fill with shadow, Fluttershy woke up in bed and looked all around her.

“Phew,” she said as she rubbed sweat from her forehead in relief. “It was all a fantasy...Wait...”

She looked at her right arm and noticed that it was completely made of shadow.

“Or was it really...” she pulled off her pink bed sheet and saw that aside from her head, her body was completely made of shadow. “A real dream...”

“DON’T BE SURPRISED...” Sombra’s voice spoke from Fluttershy’s head as Fluttershy grabbed her head in pain. “AS A MAGENIEUS, IT’S MY JOB TO FUSE OUR DESIRES INTO ONE AND MAKE THEM COME TRUE...YOU’VE ALWAYS DESIRED TO BE RID OF YOUR IMMORTALITY TO BECOME A TRUE SPIRIT...AND TO SHARE TRUE DEATH WITH OTHERS...WATCH HOW FAST I CAN MAKE THAT WISH ARISE! AND I HOPE YOU DON’T MIND, BUT I HAVE TO REMIND YOU, I’LL NEED TO BECOME YOUR MIND!”

“...The empty jar...I understand...” Fluttershy fell unconscious just as she came to a realization, and Sombra took full control of the mind that he was. Lightning struck outside in some sort of strange hope that the wishes of the dark sky would come true.

Some time later... *THUMP* *GUK* *GASH*

In a dark, friendly office, green goo dripped all over the floor as a stygian figure holding a splattered urn boasted a malevolent grin.

“This is my logic...” the figure smiled. “This is Fluttershy’s science...desiring your eternal silence...The dark sky shall return...HA HA HA HA HA HA HA AHA AHA AHA HA HA HA HA!”

The Ending of Prologue.

Episode 2: Master Sister

Later that night, night had become day...

Fluttershy arose from her bed to find the house clean just like it always was in her real life, but she knew from last night that this wasn’t a dream. Many demons had come to the dream house that was herself and messed up the place. She had been turned into a shadow just like King Sombra, who was now her mind. Whenever she wanted to remember or say something from her mind, she would have to think of Sombra with her spirit. Like so...

“It’s morning...” Fluttershy’s spirit felt the poetic nature of a warm summer morning as light from the sun filled the bedroom. “Sombra, I feel weird like I’ve forgotten something. Can you please research my memories and tell me what I should be remembering?”

“You forgot to eat dinner last night...” Sombra recapped sleepily, as being Fluttershy’s mind was hard work. “And you made a friend...what a delight...”

“Friend...oh no...” Fluttershy remembered that there was something she had to do yesterday. “I forgot to meet Celestia for dinner...and I missed work with my friend Rarity! I need to complete the rituals and turn her into an immortal! If I don’t, she could die!”

Fluttershy got out of bed and tried to run, but she couldn’t. She looked down and remembered that she had no physical arms and legs and was floating instead.

“Oh, that’s right...” Fluttershy looked at herself. “As a shadow, I’m no longer a physical being...I’m now the reflection of a being performing physics. But Sombra was able to get around as a shadow just fine...oh, I get it! Because he used to do physics when he was a pony! So if he’s my mind now, that means...”

Fluttershy thought of Sombra finding a scientific way to grow a pony form, and sure enough, the brainpower gave her the ability to mold her midsection into a pony-like one with two leg-like arms and two arm-like legs.

“I guess this will have to do,” Fluttershy was aware that she was still a shadow, “but thank goodness that Sombra was a genius as well as a magenieus. Now to make sure that Rarity’s not dead and safe!”

Fluttershy ran down the stairs and to her basement in her pony-form shadow body to find that Rarity wasn’t dead, alive, or even asleep...

“What the...Rarity?!” Fluttershy couldn’t believe what had happened to her friend. “Wh-where did you go?!”

Rarity was nowhere to be seen in the basement, not even in the bathrooms. The rope that Fluttershy had used to bind Rarity’s front hooves and tie her to the ceiling was still there, with the binding knot unsevered and unperturbed. Nothing in the room had been tampered with either, the only interchangeable element being Rarity, as something had replaced her...a white mist of rain that had taken the form of Rarity and her position of when she last fell unconscious.

“Who are you?” Fluttershy asked as she walked closer. “Why is my friend gone?”

The mist smiled and vanished, only leaving a notably small paper-sized drop of rain that materialized into a paper note. When Fluttershy picked it up and read it, it read the following reading:

The Mist’s Missed One

The mist has missed your dark sky

Who would have known, Fluttershy

From time to time, the form of you and me

Appears to have lost your dear Rarity

In search of Sombra’s ring, she left with some one

For two pursuits of power are far more for some fun

Than the aforementioned, number me three

From clouds to dragons, the ending is me

In other words, you’re going to love me. DEATH IS PEACE.

                                                                                                               Death is Love,

                                                                                                                       Mist

“How could he say that?” Fluttershy was hurt. “Death is not peace and love, it is merely the passage to those things through immortality. There’s no way that could be the mist that summons my Dark Sky band members... They understand death, and they’d never convince Rarity to leave. There’s not a large number of ponies who could’ve known about my mission and broken into my house, so who is this mysterious one? And finally...Sombra’s ring?! Didn’t Sombra mention something like that in his poem?”

“You can call me I...for I am you now...” Sombra said as Fluttershy’s mind, still tired. “How they know about I’s ring, we do not know how...”

Just then, there was a very loud knock at the door that banged up and penetrated the sound barrier of Fluttershy’s shadow ears in her basement.

Oh no, we got company!” Fluttershy unintentionally caught on to Sombra’s “you and me” perspective. “I can’t let any visitors see me like this, they’ll think I’m a monster! I need to disguise myself as something that won’t threaten them!”

So Fluttershy floated back upstairs, and found her shark suit in her closet.

“Perfect!” she said as she put it on. “Nopony is scared of a shark out of water, running out of air on the air!”

Just as Fluttershy was about to go back downstairs, the voice behind the door began to grow impatient.

“This is the police!” the voice shouted, banging on the barrier louder at the door. “We have a warrant for your arrest! Come out of there now and put your hooves up or we will be forced to surround you!”

“That voice...” Fluttershy remembered Sombra and then remembered it. “It couldn’t be...”

After Fluttershy completed her shark disguise and had gotten her important documents together, she went back downstairs and opened the door, revealing the voice to be that of...Prince-ipal Police Officer Luna! Luna was not one to talk when she saw that Fluttershy was dressed like a shark that had been eaten by Phoenix Wright, as the spiky pink hair on the shark’s head looked very dangerous from consumption. Fluttershy was not one to talk either when she saw that behind the police officer uniform-dressed Luna was a large blue police officer car that resembled a sleigh with wheels and a IDPD symbol on the doors. It also had two ropes attached to spears on the front headlights that were connected to eight humans dressed in white robes crawling on all fours with a body-like figure on top of each one of them covered by a ghostly sheet.

“It looks like we both have explaining to do...” they both agreed. “Behind both our steads, why is there darkness being created by both me and you?!”

Fluttershy’s darkness was that Luna could see the dark aura that Fluttershy was exuding from her true essence. Luna’s darkness was that even though it was daytime and the sun was shining brilliantly in the sky, the sky around it was completely dark, even though the ground and everything else the sun reflected upon was perfectly bright.

“My mind was replaced with the evil unicorn King Sombra after I inadvertently solved a puzzle of his, and now he’s taken over my body!” Fluttershy gave her explanation to her darkness.

“My soul was replaced with the evil forces of darkness when the entire sky remained dark yesterday, even though the moon had been lowered!” Luna gave her explanation to her darkness. “Sister was so angry at me even though it wasn’t my fault! She fired me from raising the moon for working overtime, and assigned me a new job more suiting to my lowly level, fighting crime!”

“Well I hope you didn’t come here to fight me,” Fluttershy got powered and puffed up like a serial killer’s labrador retriever. “I may be a killer, but I’m within my rights. I transcended the law, and I have proof of it too with a documentary of my documentation.”

Fluttershy showed Luna all of her documents along with a tape of her signing the documents, but Luna just laughed in response.

“Fluttershy, I may have no right to punish you for your own personal hobbies,” Luna said with a smile, “but I am not just a police officer. As a ruler of Equestria and the goddess of death, I am also within my rights to arrest you for what you have done.”

“But...what did I do?” Fluttershy grew nervous, wondering what kind of evidence could’ve told the police about her true identity.

“Queen Chrysalis, the CEO of Human Resources, was found dead in her office two days ago...” Luna said with a frown, “...and everyone knows that you were the one who killed her.”

“What?!” Fluttershy shouted. “But I’d never kill anypony who I didn’t have to kill! There must be some mistake! Two days ago, I was still at home taking care of my friend Rarity!”

“Impossible,” Luna replied, “because Rarity and her friended one were the ones who told the police all about this two days ago! But nobody believed them, especially when Rarity started going on about some nonsense about you being in a shark suit...yeah. It wasn’t until they sent me to Human Resources to investigate just yesterday, where I found incriminating evidence that incarcerates everypony else in a safe zone except for you! The fact that you have no alibi other than that you were asleep all day yesterday while everypony else had been called to work!”

“Wait a second...” Fluttershy stood still as she passed out her memories to the sleeping Sombra that was her mind. “I’ve been asleep for longer than that afternoon nap and that night...I slept for a day?!”

“Princess Celestia had no idea where you were until she looked through your bedroom window yesterday wondering what you had been doing the night prior on your free time.” Luna laughed like a cat that had been caught off-guard as it drew on a bull herder’s doormat. “When she saw you napping on the job, she pieced everything together...you were actually napping on the free time because you had been doing your work the night prior, eliminating a threat to Celestia’s plans for Equestria! That’s right, you don’t just have no alibi, you had the perfect motive! Killing that scum in Celestia’s name for the sake of the world!”

“Wait...how could me killing Chrysalis be a good thing?” Fluttershy asked curiously. “She may have been evil, but she didn’t deserve to die...and even if so, I would’ve brought her back to life with my phoenix feather! Even if I somehow did kill her in a state of delusion, I would have definitely resurrected her! I’ve...I’ve done nothing wrong!”

“Heh heh...” Luna chuckled as she pointed to the phoenix feather in Fluttershy’s hair with her right hoof. “That phoenix feather...was found at the scene of the crime. I have no idea what this “resurrection” you’re associating it with it is all about, but we now have everything we need to convict you. No alibi, perfect motive, and hardcore evidence. Three strikes, and you’re out. Fluttershy, you’re not just going to be arrested now...you’re also going to get...A DETENTION NOTICE!”

“A debt...a ten...a sheng...A DETENTION NOTICE?!” Fluttershy shrieked as Luna wrote her a red ticket and handed it to her with her hooves. “But that means I have to go to the...”

“Detention center.” Luna deterred the tension. “Now come with me quietly...let’s learn something on our way to the princess’ magic castle. Ha ha ha ha ha. I am so glad I turned down that vacation Twilight offered me. My Master Sister will be so pleased...HA HA HA HA HA!”

The Ending of Part Two.

Episode 3: Ghosts at the Giggle

The time will come for the separation...the separation for time has already come...

Some Nights, The Revolution Has a Nightmare

The theme of this poem and what it is about is that it is what it is being that it’s part of the song Luna is playing on the radio in her police officer sleigh car right now to test Fluttershy.

SOME NIGHTS...

Everyone as time went by got a little bit older and a little bit slower...

BECAUSE THIS IS NIGHTMARE NIGHT!

SOME NIGHTS I WISH...

We went to see a dentist...

TO COME AND TAKE AWAY YOUR SOUL AND EAT YOU UP FOR A SNACK!

I found a martyr in my bed tonight...

Naked...You can come naked...

WITHOUT THE PROPER CARE!

I WISH THAT THIS WORLD WOULD END!

RRRRRIIIIIIIGGGGGHHHHHTTTTT!

IN THE PAST SO YOU WON’T LAST!

The most amazing things that can come from...

The watusi! The twist! Take this brother, may it serve you well...

WITH A ROYAL FAREWELL!!

                                                                                                                     An Animate Spell,

“That song,” Fluttershy had an epilogue, “how did it just end...without me?”

“That was “An Animate Spell” by Princess Celestia’s own personal band the “Dark Sky”!” the radio announcer spoke radiantly. “Even with the departure of their lead member, Fluttershy, they managed to create us an awesome remix of autotune voices, old-school dubstep, and new-school dubstep! It’s amazing how we could tell what they were saying with such awesome music reflecting the meaning...”

“Now do you understand the consequences of what you have done?” Luna gave a pressingly sympathetic statement to Fluttershy as she turned off the radio. “You were so busy that your friends forgot about you, and so your Dark Sky is no more.”

Fluttershy didn’t answer, all she did was look around at everything around her. She saw that she was in the front seat of the sleigh car, looking outside the window to see that Luna was levitating the car in the sky as the eight humans with body figures covered in sheets on top of their backs crawled on air. Outside, the sky was still dark, with many ponies dressed in white robes walking under it on the ground. They appeared to be gathering to a giant tombstone in the middle of town square that they appeared to be frowning and laughing at as they used hammers and nails to impress expressions of Chrysalis’ face on it.

“Weird stuff happens,” Fluttershy’s reply finally occurred, “because of our perception of what weird is. Time changes that perception...and I fear that as time goes on, time is falling apart...But the Dark Sky would never forget me...”

“Correct,” said Luna, “you passed the test.”

A mist rolled into the backseat of the car and materialized into the familiar eponymously named members of Fluttershy’s Dark Sky band, Ghost Rainbow Dash, Dumb-bell, Hoops, Score, and Derpy Hooves!

“Oh my great Caeser’s ghost’s ruler!” Fluttershy was so surprised she jumped out of the skin that was her shark suit. “Even though Sombra made my mind forget all about you...you guys still remembered me!”

“Looks like you are WWWWWRRRRRIIIIIGGGGGHHHHHTTTTT on the answer!” the pegasi trio commented on her lawyer-only appearance now.

“Wow, I guess our memories are serving you well!” Derpy shared mentally advanced commentary.

“And now we’ll remember you best from a memory in the back of a car...” Ghost Rainbow Dash chuckled in her personal comment, having now found another reason to linger.

“So my hunch was right...” Luna said with relief, as if a tray had just been lifted off her back against the wall of the damed. “You have not been completely consumed by Sombra...your mind may be gone, but your soul is still relatively sane. At least you’ll be safe from charges of second-degree murder.”

“Why is Fluttershy being charged for crime in the first place?” the pegasi trio asked. “She’s an assassin, killing is what she does! All killing is killing, so why is a penalty being assigned to her for this specific kind of killing?”

“Because this kind of killing has been deemed wrong by Celestia for a special occasion...” Luna replied. “Even though she did Celestia a favor, she acted outside of her orders...that kind of killing you did yesterday, the killing of your client’s trust as their assassin...is wrong.”

“But-” Fluttershy started shaking. “But I didn’t kill Chrysalis yesterday-”

Fluttershy paused abruptly as an image of Rarity grinning evilly while holding a hypnotist’s watch flashed through the Sombra of her mind.

“The oddness of the clock is ticking in my favor...” Rarity swung the watch back and forth. “You have so much time...but none left to kill.”

As the image faded, Fluttershy stood still in fear. She couldn’t shake the feeling that times had changed for her friend...friends? She looked over at the Dark Sky members and suddenly realized what Rarity’s words meant...something was VERY wrong concerning the time...

“It seems that you’ve noticed...” said Ghost Rainbow Dash as she and the other members turned to mist and enshrouded Fluttershy, moving her to the back seat of the car.

“It wasn’t because of Sombra that you couldn’t remember us with your mind...” the pegasi trio smiled. “The reason you didn’t remember us is because the Dark Sky band DOESN’T EXIST YET. Dash won’t become a ghost and we won’t lose our jobs until the day before Rarity’s last day of immortality preparation.”

“The time continuum is starting to fall apart in the future, and so we ended up in the past! Now we’re really living in the moment!” Derpy said excitedly at part of the universe’s destruction.

“You’re from the future...” Fluttershy shuddered in horror. “First my mind, then my friend, and now the time continuum?! What next?! Why is all this happening?!”

“Hey!” Luna couldn’t overhear the conversation concealed by the mist, but she got wind of the noise. “Shut up back there, won’t all of ya?! I may have no idea what you’re saying, but be warned if you’re talking bad about me. I can read lip!”

After a brief moment of silence, the conversation resumed.

“Don’t get your fabric in the universe’s knots, Fluttershy,” said Rainbow Dash, “we’re not really from the future. In fact, all we know about the future following the death of all the Equestrians is that on a day after tonight’s twilight’s passing, TIME ITSELF WILL FALL APART, AND HISTORY WILL BE DIVIDED INTO SIX DIFFERENT PERIODS OF TIME DIVIDED BETWEEN TWO WORLDS. Our only hope is foretold to be a prophecy that will be foretold in the future...”

“Six different periods...between two worlds?” Fluttershy was so confused that she felt like a teacher who didn’t even deserve the drop of two golden apples from Artimus. “I don’t get it...I never would’ve guessed that time falling apart so conveniently would lead to stuff this complicated...”

“OW, MY FLUTTERSHY HURTS...” Sombra felt her pain inside of her. “SCREW ALL THIS DRIVELING NONSENSE...IT JUST FLIRTS...”

“Now it’s our turn to be confused, Fluttershy!” Rainbow Dash loved to share the stories of her nights in the back of a car, but now was never a good time for that. “Why are you possessed by King Sombra? You weren’t a shadow when we last saw you in the future, not to mention that according to real-life lore, Sombra was still just a thought evolving into an animated state in a parallel cartoon universe around the time...THAT STORY was written.”

“So was the Crystal Empire...” Fluttershy remembered that even the story of how she acquired the puzzle that released Sombra didn’t make any sense. “Just like you guys, he’s not supposed to be here in this place of time yet...”

“So just like us, he’s an anachronism...” the pegasi trio remembered the revolution a second instantly. “This is not good...each time an anachronism is created, a DIFFERENT PERIOD OF TIME that could have possibly existed is created.”

“Time keeps on slipping into the PAST for you Fluttershy...” Derpy began last second ago with appropriate care in her words. “Time becoming the FUTURE is such a rarity...”

“But all of that makes no sense either...is it a result of time falling apart?” Fluttershy asked.

“I’m afraid we don’t have much time left...” the Dark Sky members answered as they began to fade into the mist of the sands of time. “The fact that we even got a chance to speak to you is a Rarity...”

“I still don’t get it...” Fluttershy continued her misunderstanding before and after they completely vanished. “What does this all mean...”

Just then, the car had now come to a stop at the contemporary form of Celestia’s castle...Catholic kindergarten.

“It’s time...” Luna said a few seconds after it was time. “...to meet my master sister, Master Celestia. Upon entering her domain, she shall see you for detention for the murder of Chrysalis...it would be wise to hide the fact that your mind has become King Sombra. It will only make you look more...worthy of being incriminated, let’s leave it at that.”

“But how can I hide what’s become the biggest part of me?” Fluttershy said feeling as fragile as a Muppet rocking out to the Rolling Stones’ electric bill.

“HMMMM...” Luna thought in frustration of the fact that she had to think carefully. Her negative feelings abated when she remembered her days as Nightmare Moon.

“AH HA!” she exclaimed with triumph as she got out of the car and went to the trunk. In there, sure enough, she found a full suit of armor she had put together from the shattered metal plaster remaining from her battle with the Mane 6 as Nightmare Moon and had now handed over to Fluttershy. “PUT ON THIS PLASTER FOR THE MASTER!”

“Um...thanks.” Fluttershy said, feeling somewhat puzzled as her shadow body filled out the armor nicely, covering everything but her face.

“No need, it’s good to be a friend in need of offering services indeed!” Luna humbly bowed. “I know you’re pleased, but I aim to appease!”

Fluttershy gulped, walking up to the kindergarten with the red ticket Luna gave her in her ambiguously shaped hand now covered by a metal hoof plate. Luna had uncomfortably reminded her of you-know-who, and she knew who you-know-who was quite well because you knew who he was quite well in her mind, mind him. Regardless, Sombra saw all the images Fluttershy’s brain was processing as she walked down the walkway to the Catholic kindergarten. It resembled Celestia’s castle, only much different than that...

The castle was comprised of four castle walls covered in arrows with their pointers pertruding out and the blood of Celestia’s mortal friends. The roof was comprised of a castle roof adjacent to a gutter with six orbs, three filled with darkness and three filled with light, hanging by nooses. The front yard was comprised of what resembled a backyard containing creatures that looked a lot like the creatures who drove Luna’s sleighcar happily playing with ectoplasm under their ghost sheets. The door of the castle was all but a door, comprised of disembodied pony heads sucking on gumballs, disembodied human heads with lollipops for eyes, and disembodied candy wrappers scrunched up and imploded into gum.

“THIS LOOKS LIKE MY KIND OF PLACE!” Fluttershy’s/Sombra’s twisted mind was showing. “WITH SOME SLAVES AROUND HERE, I COULD REALLY SAVE SOME FACE!”

“My face is nothing but a contortion of fear right now...” Fluttershy knew something was wrong with this school. Before she had the chance to know even more, the door abruptly opened, revealing the name of the castle ruler’s eponymous friend...Celestia.

“Good day Fluttershy,” Celestia politely greeted. “How do you how do. How you been avoiding your fate to recently die?”

“It’s been...awesome...lately...” Fluttershy rubbed the back of her armored neck and gave a nervous smile, unsure of how to reply.

“You don’t have to be hesitant to respond...” Celestia then paused and looked at her attire. “Oh, it must be because I’m not properly dressed. Just hold on a second, no need to despond!”

With a clicking clap of her hooves, everything went out like a light for a tick of a second and Celestia was back in black like that. Did that make Fluttershy feel calmer?

“There.” Celestia brandished her new groove. “That’s better, no?”

Thanks to Celestia, the question had already been answered. She was wearing only the shirt part of a white robe marked with a red clip-on tie under a black jacket with two horizontal red lines marked at the zipper areas. They formed together with the shape of the tie to make a T. Hmm...

“Um...what does the T stand for?” asked Fluttershy.

“Title!” Celestia put her hooves together as she smiled evilly. “My title of the famed “Prope-Hane” of Equestria! What that means is that I’m the president and pope of this world, and I have taken many ponies and humans from different worlds under my wing, as you can plainly see!”

“I’m sorry, but I...don’t...” replied Fluttershy.

“Oh, don’t worry...” Celestia’s grin grew more evil. “You’ll be able to see the error of your sight, so long as you don’t get in my way during detention...”

“Your...Prope-Haneness, please listen to me.” Fluttershy pleaded. “I’ll take my punishment like a mare’s freeman, even though I didn’t kill Chrysalis. But once this is over, we need to...”

“Find Rarity and immortalize her?” Celestia replied. “Sorry Fluttershy...I’m afraid such a meaningless matter is trivial, fruitless, and outdated. It is lost to the sands of time...”

“W-what?” Fluttershy was startled. “How come?”

“Rarity came by here earlier...” Celestia explained. “She...has already become an immortal being.”

“W-WHAT?” Fluttershy was aghast. “HOW SO?”

“Come inside...” Celestia walked back to the castle gateway and opened the door. “We have...too much to discuss. We’re going to need...music.”

As Fluttershy followed Celestia into the castle, she could hear music playing that sounded like something out of a factory. When the two of them finished walking, they were in a factory...A MAGICAL SCIENCE FACTORY!

“I think this is where I should begin, seeing as how this is where it all began...” Celestia glared at Fluttershy as her evil smile went insane. “Take a good long look at how you were created...”

Nothing but quietude came out of Fluttershy’s mouth as the noise of the factory produced a tune so foul, she simply could not swallow. It was non-lyrical music that described what was happening in the factory without words. These words, to be precise...

At the end of the factory room were two mystical boxes marked with three question mark-marked doors. The roofs of them were connected to two large metallic test tubes, each one stretching out of the factory and connecting to a different world. The one on the left was connected to the pony world, and the one on the right was connected to the human world. Every around the clock of the world(s), the left test tube would capture a pony from the pony world, and every second, the right test tube would capture a human from the human world. The mystical boxes would then extract both the pony and human’s body, mind, and soul, and send them to a giant machine that looked like a combination of a cloning machine and a time machine. In there, everything would be fused and synchronized together, and out would come the creature known only as...a Centauroth.

“They call it...BMS summoning.” Celestia had termed the process. “Isn’t that cool?”

“Celestia...” Fluttershy was in disbelief. “That box...that’s the same box that...”

“Turned your mind into King Sombra?” Celestia already knew. “Oh, I’m terribly sorry that you had to be my...first test subject.”

Fluttershy was frozen that day like a foreigner playing his cards wrong and getting into jeopardy at a theater when he couldn’t get his rhymes right.

“How do you...how do you...how do you how do...” Fluttershy felt like her head was spinning and Celestia was enjoying the ride (with Sombra).

“I know everything Fluttershy...” Celestia laughed as she clapped her hooves. “I thought I implied that a long time ago...but that was a long time ago. I no longer work for you as your mentor...I switched sides with Rarity. She is far more immortal and powerful than you’ll ever be. She came to me yesterday offering a gift far more valuable than you’ll ever be...the magic that created this universe. She has far more capabilities and accomplishments than you’ll ever be able to achieve...she is a time wizard, a reality-bender, and as of the beginning of the universe...A GOD.”

With those words, the ground began to shake as Celestia lifted her arms up to the sun. She chanted something as her eyes turned black in her right, and white in her left. The Centauroth that had just emerged from the machine was converted into magic energy, which Celestia balanced in her hooves.

“The Centauroth is already an immortal demigod formed by the combination of ponies and humans being transformed into magic...” Celestia bounced the ball. “And they in turn can always be restored to their original forms...”

“Original forms?” Fluttershy felt Celestia’s pitch of tone, as she remembered her mentioning Rarity getting the magic from the beginning of the universe. “It can’t be...”

“Rarity has turned you into an outdated relic, Fluttershy...” Celestia threw the ball of energy up to space, where it was transformed into a shining star. “THIS IS TRUE IMMORTALITY!”

The star grew even brighter with those words, and shot laser beams down to earth that powered up all of the Centauroths in Celestia’s castle. They stormed into the factory room and surrounded Fluttershy as the air grew colder and they and Celestia...

HAD A MUSIC NUMBER! Celestia began to sing the following poem’s lyrics, as the Centauroths joined in by singing the music with both their pony mouths and human mouths.

 

Ghosts at the Giggle

When I was feeling like a mean monster, killing followers of the rrrrrrrrruuuuuuuunnnnnneeeee!

The screaming and their pain-filled cries would always make me swwwwwoooooonnnnn!

I’d put a pillow to my hide! I’d mock them as they died!

But the pie my grandma made said that wasn’t the way to take them for a ride!

She said “Celestia! You’re doing it all wrong! You gotta make them fear your face!

They’’ll see that you’re their master! So laugh and make their fun erase!”

AH AH AH AH AH AH AH AH AH AH AH AH AH AH AH AH AH AH AH AH AH!

SSSSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Make ghosts as you giggle!

Bake toast as you wiggle!

Give them an evil tickle!

Show them a friendly sickle!

Shake them as they jiggle!

Just don’t teach them how to griggle!

So you just tell Luna! To go pop a RockStar! And if she thinks she can stop this, she better be able to top this! And the idea that she may one day be able to do such a thing just makes you want to.....

DDDDDDDDDDDDDDIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Even though Celestia pointed less information in that explanatory song than in her explanatory explanations, it was enough to leave Fluttershy on the floor stunned. Even King Sombra was dizzy.

“CELESTIA IS WEIRD.” he thought. “A FEARFUL FOE TO BE FEARED, SHE DOESN’T ENDEAR.”

“We’re not done yet Fluttershy...” Celestia prepared to transit to something that wasn’t good. “BUT...that doesn’t mean we’re not almost done. The next part of your detention is the last.”

With a clap of her hooves, Celestia and Fluttershy were teleported to Celestia’s bedroom.

“This is where the educational part of Catholic kindergarten kicks in...” Celestia tossed her Prope-Hane clothing to the side of her bed. “They don’t call me “King of the Hill” for nothing...”

“I take it back...” Fluttershy said in spite of being the receiving end. “I won’t accept this punishment...I DIDN’T DO ANYTHING!”

“We all do things Fluttershy...” Celestia snickered. “Some things we want to do, some things we don’t want. You are not a thing I want to do...but a pony I want to do...”

“Oh no...” Fluttershy murmured.

“OH YES!” Sombra proclaimed. “OH YEAH! OH YAY! OH NO SECOND GUESS!”

“Rarity set everything up for this moment...” Celestia licked her lips as she tore off Fluttershy’s virile freeman plate with her magic horn and levitated her into the bed. “I will give you love and bear a child for Rarity...a demigod more powerful than the Centauroths made in your image...as a trophy of her victory over you...”

“A victory won by hurting the innocent is no victory at all!” Fluttershy shouted as she struggled in futility.

“You are so smart Fluttershy, even in your current state of mind...” Celestia hugged Fluttershy and put her mouth against her left ear as she prepared. “But you lack one thing...and that is...”

“...Light.”

Fluttershy’s eyes went dark as she fell unconscious. When she woke up...

“CELESTIA IS DEAD.” Sombra said. “SHE IS ON THE BED, AND THAT IS WHAT I SAID.”

“??!!!” Fluttershy saw blood splattered all over her armor. There was also blood dripping out of Celestia’s chest onto her Prope-Hane outfit. She was lying on the bed with a gaping cut across her chest. It looked like the weapon responsible for the fatal wound was a blade... of a shuriken.

“This got far worse than I ever could’ve expected...” Fluttershy couldn’t keep her cool in this school anymore. “I’ve got to get out of here!”

Fluttershy ran as fast as she could to the door, only to be stopped by the searing pain of a magic spinning ninja blade being thrown from the ceiling stabbing her in the shadow heart.

“GUK!” Fluttershy gakked black, shadowy blood as the ninja blade kept her stuck on the floor.

“DO NOT MOVE!” a familiar figure dressed in a black ninja outfit dropped from the ceiling. “YOU ARE MINE NOW!”

The ninja was none other than Rarity!

“You do not want to know how long I would have to wait for this day Fluttershy...” Rarity flashed two magic hooftip-watches at the immobilized hero. “Had I not found the power to change time...”

“Ugh...uh...” Fluttershy whimpered in pain.

“That fool Celestia...” Rarity scoffed. “She couldn’t have died at a better time...I have a better way of getting an heir...and that can wait till another time. As for you...in this state of time...”

“Please...stop...” Fluttershy said with tears dropping from her eyes as she looked up at Rarity. “I’m sorry for everything I ever did to you...”

“The dark knight begging the ninja master for mercy.” Rarity smiled with conceit. “What a strange sight. I’m afraid it’s too early to apologize Fluttershy...you’re going to do far worse things than what you’ve done to me in an alternate future...”

“You mean...” Fluttershy remembered the Dark Sky members’ words.

“That’s right...” Rarity smirked. “I also have the power to bend reality to my will. I am the ruler of only an infinite amount of alternate realities, and I chose this one as the setting of the worst worst-case scenario you could ever imagine. Everything’s been set up to ensure that you will be the victim of my ultimate revenge scheme. For it to continue...”

“AAAAAHHHHH!” Fluttershy shouted in spiritual pain as Rarity pulled the blade halfway out of her back. She felt like her soul was dying...

“Your spirit must die.” Rarity gazed at Fluttershy’s suffering with great interest. “This blade has the power to wound spirits. You lost your body and your mind became Sombra. The only thing keeping you attached to this realm is your soul. If it dies, you can never live in this world again...the real world of Equestria.”

“!!!!!” An image flashed through Sombra...an image of Fluttershy disappearing from the picture of the Mane Six forever...doomed to live only as a shadow in a fictional realm...

Rarity had completely pulled the blade out that time.

The miracle that could have changed that fate of time is lost to the sands of time...because time is time is...time is...time is...time is...what....time is....is time.....

 

OVER GAME. DIME TO TIE.

DIE TO EMIT.

DIE TO EMIT...

WHY?

“Who am I?” said Fluttershy. “How do I how die?”

The sky sheds its darkness and light through a choice...

[Metal Snake]

NOTE: Although the first three chapters of Lightening Fluttershy's Dark Sky came out in May 2013, the twelve chapters that followed were released from October 31, 2014 to December 23, 2014. The reason for the discrepancy was because the series had entered Development Hell and was even being considered for cancellation at one point. It was decided that the series would continue in February 2014, as CloudMistDragon decided that the cliffhanger at the end of the third chapter was an abrupt and unsatisfying ending and wanted to give the story a true conclusion. 

 

Episode 4: Fluttershy Strikes Back...and Returns?!

 

If you get the right answer and solve me, I shall be your best friend for all eternity…

 

Why should something like that be a mystery…

 

Fluttershy began to think these things as she came to the realization that she was no longer real. As her soul was torn apart from her body by Rarity’s sword...she felt like nothing but a mere illustration of her former self...a mere illustration whose fate was determined by an illusion...an illusion cast by the One Who Knew All the Frames of Her Life.

 

“Oh yeah, him.” Rarity said with a smirk. “He has served his purpose…”

 

Fluttershy did not hear her. What Rarity was saying wasn’t real to her anymore. She had slipped away from the real world and had fallen into darkness. A new darkness whose nature would be revealed...with a glimmer of light.

 

DIE TO EMIT.

 

The true beginning of…

 

Lightening Fluttershy’s Dark Sky

 

The story truly began with Fluttershy lying in bed. This time though, she was thinking differently in a different place surrounded by darkness.

 

“What happened?” she thought. “Where did it all go wrong? Every time I think about this madness...it just seems to go on and on...Why?”

 

Fluttershy got out of bed and looked around at her surroundings. The only thing she could see was the bed. Everything else was just all the same...darkness.

 

“Even though there are no bars…” Fluttershy slumped back in bed as she acknowledged her slump. “I’m in jail…forever...”

 

Fluttershy began to cry…

 

…

 

“Don’t cry…” said someone from behind. “It’s not time for that just yet.”

 

Fluttershy didn’t listen. She continued to let the faucet run free.

 

“I’m sorry,” Fluttershy replied, “but it really is over this time. I’ve lost my life, my soul, and now my freedom. I didn’t even have anything to fight for from the start, and now it’s all gone…”

“Exactly.” the someone said, slightly grinning a small smile.

 

Fluttershy wasn’t even surprised by the sudden and minor change of attitude from the unknown figure. She just sighed.

 

“If you’re one of Rarity’s henchmen, just come out and say it.” she stated with melancholy. “I’ve experienced more insane twists.”

 

“Oh, this isn’t an insane twist…” the someone suddenly lit up the place with a mysterious orb with a rotating glow of eeriness swirling on the inside. “...It’s a twisted twist.”

 

Startled by the lightening, Fluttershy turned her head and saw somebody with a face.

 

“What…” she said as she recognized the face. “You..”

 

“That s right.” said someone as Fluttershy’s vision shook, blurred, and got somewhat fuzzy “SO iM Being youR Answer“

 

Everything went light, and soon, Fluttershy was no longer unconscious. It was time to bring light for a new day.

 

It was a new day in Fluttershy’s bed. The sun was up, and Fluttershy had gotten out of bed.

 

“Uh…” Fluttershy groaned while putting her hoof on her face. “What could something that frightening have been?”

 

Fluttershy looked around and gulped as she found herself in another familiar setting...her bedroom. In fear, she immediately pulled back her covers and gasped. Between her legs, she found...that she had wet the bed...inside a beer bottle.

 

“How did…” Fluttershy firmly grasped the bottle uncomfortably. “How did this get here? Is there a burglar in the house?”

 

Just then, there was a knock at the front door, and someone downstairs opened it. Fluttershy looked out the window and froze in fear when she saw a mysterious ghostly white unicorn outside handing an unfamiliar draconequus a huge jar with fifty thousand bits in it. For reality’s sake, that’s five million yen (not USD), fifty thousand dollars in United States currency. After the unicorn had to hand it to the draconequus, she left, and the draconequus entered the house again.

 

“Ha ha ha, looks like I’ve made the big catch!” the unidentified draconequus said as he pulled out his wallet. An ID card with a name obscured by a blur could be seen in the wallet, as he stuffed the money inside of it like Discord would. He then made a surfboard appear with magic, and caught some waves up to Fluttershy’s room to wake her up. Fluttershy screamed as the door burst open and water flooded the room.

 

“GAH!” she squirmed like a wet noodle in a hollow banana. “Who are you and what are you doing in my house?! And are you trying to kill me or something?”

 

“Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnooooooooooooo,” Discord wasted time by stretching that word out and stabbing a clock for fun. “Whatever do you mean?”

 

“I mean to not be rude,” Fluttershy rued her shouting from earlier, “but you need to tell me who you are. If you’re a burglar who broke into my house, then I need to know so that I can politely ask you to leave.”

 

There was a long pause of silence before a cricket began chirping. It stopped chirping when Discord picked it up and patted its head.

 

“Thank you my little friend, I needed that,” Discord said as he then made the cricket he had summoned disappear. “Now then, Fluttershy, let me ask you a question. Do you...remember anything before this morning?”

 

“Well of course,” Fluttershy put her head down and gave a positive response, “everyone has remembered something before this morning. All I remember though was this dream where I solved a puzzle and got possessed by a weird shadow. Then I was a murderer and Luna took me away on a sleigh. I was torn from my body by a sword and Rarity...thought it was funny.”

 

Fluttershy looked up and noticed a look of shock on Discord’s face.

 

“Uh...you’re going to leave me alone now, right?”

 

“I’m afraid I can not do that,” Discord said as he donned a business suit and showed Fluttershy a contract, “for you need medical attention. It would be negligence on my part if whatever is ailing your mind kills you.”

 

“Insanity is lethal?” Fluttershy asked as Discord took her hoof and teleported both of them to a strange town with a gas cloud of nontoxic poison. As the poison cloud dissipated, Fluttershy could see the corpses of ponies in the streets.

 

“D-did you kill these poor ponies?!” Fluttershy exclaimed.

 

“*sigh* Pay attention, Fluttershy,” Discord pulled a quarter from behind Fluttershy’s ears and showed her the back of a nontoxic poison canister. “It’s not real poison.”

 

“Why are they just lying in the streets then?” Fluttershy looked over the dead bodies sadly. “Isn’t someone going to bury them?”

“Beats me,” Discord knocked his head with his clenched claw. “Those corpses have been lying there for a year and a half. It’s a mystery if anyone will ever get around to taking care of them.”

 

“A year and a half?!” Fluttershy replied. “But these ponies look like they’ve only been dead for moments! Wait a minute...could they be…”

 

Fluttershy had realized that the ponies were wearing white robes, and that each robe had a symbol engraved in it reading “ChrysCo. Department of Human Resources”.

 

“Chrys...humans…” things began to flash through Fluttershy’s head. She could remember a shadow, she could remember talking about Chrysalis’ murder, she could remember creatures in a factory, she could remember...rhyming and singing in a sleigh.

 

“That was it, Chrysalis...and there…” Fluttershy investigated further and found piles of rocks close to the bodies with strange carvings in them. “...used to be a tombstone here…”

 

“Just as I suspected,” Discord thought to himself. “I guess that’s what I’ll have to do then…”

 

“Is this why you brought me here?” Fluttershy asked as Discord approached her. “Are you trying to help me regain my memories? I think they might have something to do with that dream I had...”

 

“Maybe…” Discord gave his reply to both the question and the statement. “And on the subject, do you think maybe we could go and see Princess Celestia?”

 

“Princess Celestia?” a memory of Princess Celestia’s corpse was triggered in Fluttershy’s mind. “Um, okay...”

 

“Tremendous…” Discord grinned as he teleported himself and Fluttershy to a familiar castle-like fortress. Fluttershy gulped when she recognized the place.

 

“I knew it.” she thought to herself. This is the factory with the creatures. It looks a bit different now though...”

 

Just like in the dream, the castle had four walls, but there were no orbs on the roof, no body parts, and no candy. The only decorations from the dream that were there were the arrows and blood, both of which looked they were shoved in the walls as if somepony was trying to hide them. Also, there was a small hole in the front door now.

 

“Something ailing you Fluttershy?” Discord took a swig from a bottle of ginger ale he pulled out of nowhere.

 

“No, it’s...nothing,” Fluttershy suppressed her thoughts as she and Discord went up to the castle gate.

 

“Knock knock,” said Discord as he smashed the bottle of ginger ale against the door where the hole was. “You know who it is…”

 

A tongue made its way through the hole and licked the ginger ale.

 

“Oh, I know…” said a familiar voice as the door opened and a figure who looked exactly like Celestia appeared, levitating a glass of what looked exactly like wine. “Welcome to my castle, Discord and soon-to-be-former stranger.”

 

“Her name’s Fluttershy,” Discord made Celestia’s description correct. “She wants to talk to you about a dream she had.”

 

“Hmm, is that all she came here for?” Celestia chuckled. “I was expecting a frail-looking object like her to be more interested in conversing about reality. After all, she has far more reason to fear it than somepony as powerful as I. No matter though...”

 

Celestia teleported Discord and Fluttershy to her throne room, where she lounged on her chair in spite of it not being a couch.

 

“Hit me with your best shot…” she said with a smirk.

 

Fluttershy let everything shoot, unloading the dream on her in full detail. After she was done talking, Celestia’s smirk was wider than ever.

 

“I know it’s ridiculous, but…” Fluttershy sighed. “...It’s the only thing I can remember.”

 

“So…” Celestia’s chuckles turned to snickers. “You’re on a quest to find your memories?”

 

“I guess I may as well be.” Fluttershy replied. “I’m not exactly sure why I exist.”

 

“We’re in the same boat on that issue.” Celestia mocked Fluttershy again, trying to make her feel like a wet gun clip being docked by a tailor. “And I’m always willing to help those who have the same issues I have, such as wanting to know more about Chrysalis’ murder. That’s right, it’s a real mystery that has never been solved. It has puzzled me and certain investigators for ages...who could be so powerful as to defeat one of my greatest foes?”

 

“So what are we going to do?” Discord asked his superior like a boss. “Are we going to have to investigate Chrysalis’ murder in order to help Fluttershy, or are we going to have to...go there?”

 

“Yes, and yes.” Celestia agreed to both of her subordinate’s proposals like a greedy executive. “I believe that it’s time we help Fluttershy and that it’s time to explore...the other worlds.”

 

“The World of Creation and the World of Evolution…” Discord snickered at the mere uttering of the sentence as he put his lion paw on his face. “Oh boy…”

 

“Yeah, I know.” Celestia knew what he felt. “I remember what a massive disappointment both of those projects were...It’s too bad that you can’t bury your mistakes, but you can run from them until the day you finally learn from them. And that day is today.”

 

“Hold on a second…” Fluttershy intruded in on the conversation like a rat trying to climb on an alarm clock inside a library. “Does that mean you two are…”

 

“Yes…” Discord donned a pair of glasses, a white shirt and tie, and a cup of coffee, all made from his own fur he transformed into said creations. “I am the co-creator of the WoC and WoE, the one who helped Celestia here create them. Impressed?”

 

“You see,” Celestia prepared to upstage Discord with a more detailed response, “.....you know, I think this will speak for me…”

 

Celestia clopped her hooves, and all of a sudden, everything faded to black. When some light came back on, the trio was sitting in a movie theater.

 

“Oh great, this movie…” Discord sulked. “I’ll get the popcorn and soda.”

 

A projected screen came on a projected screen, projecting the numbers “3, 2, 1, 0, -1” before the movie started. Words appeared on the screen and Celestia began talking in the movie theater, her voice from the movie filling the theater as the words were narrated.

 

“When the world first began long ago, there was only one known living force in the universe, magic. It was from that magic that this world, The World of Origin was created by a mysterious deity only known as “CrE”. CrE is the one who created us gods as his minions, immortal beings who have mastered both arts of creation, upgrade fusion and downgrade fusion. Everything and everyone in this world was created by Celestia, Discord, all the other gods whose names I don’t remember, and yours truly.

 

However, there came a time when Celestia and Discord became bored of only creating life, and sought to create something more ambitious, a new world in another dimension. Celestia and Discord wanted this world to be a test to see if their creations could discover the secret of immortality and go on to master the arts of creation. Because this world and its inhabitants were created with the art of upgrade fusion (where two objects are fused to create something), it was called The World of Creation. Unfortunately, the result of the project was a tragic failure. None of the world’s inhabitants achieved true eternal life, and none came close to mastering our creation arts.

 

You wouldn’t believe it, but Discord and Celestia tried to give the project another chance with The World of Evolution, a world created by the art of downgrade fusion (where two objects are fused to transform something). Despite our attempts to improve the flaws of the first world, the result of the project was a comedy of tragic failures. Discord and Celestia ended up abandoning world creation after this, and now here we all are. Thank you for watching.”

“That was a weird movie…” Fluttershy reviewed it once it was over. “There were no scenes in the movie, it was all dialogue on a screen. And someone kept talking throughout the whole thing…”

 

“Heh heh, you don’t say…” Celestia hid a megaphone behind her back sheepishly.

 

“So now what?” Fluttershy didn’t see where all this was going.

 

“...We go to my secret underground factory and unlock the portals to the other worlds.” Celestia said like Cookie Monster getting constipated while trying to read Sherlock Holmes. “You’re going to travel to them and collect what we need to incriminate Chrysalis’ murderer. That’s right, as of today, you are an official detective working for the IDPD, my most elite police department...”

 

“Factory...police…” Fluttershy thought. Memories of Luna showing up to her house dressed as a police officer and being in a factory flashed through her mind.

 

“So, great movie, huh?” Discord said sarcastically as he came back eating popcorn he made from corn he blew up with a stick of dynamite. “Want some soda, anyone?”

 

“Um, sure.” Fluttershy responded.

 

Discord made a huge needle appear with magic and used it to extract the soda pop from the popcorn. He then squeezed some of it into a soda cup.

 

“Do you want to take it through an injection or orally?” Discord asked like a sweetheart.

 

“.....Orally?” Fluttershy replied with a nervous grin.

 

“Certainly!” Discord squeezed out what was left in the needle directly onto Fluttershy’s tongue. Startled, Fluttershy ran out of the theater coughing as Discord and Celestia laughed. She collapsed in the middle of Celestia’s throne room and coughed up some of the soda on the floor.

 

“Talk about sickly sweet…” Fluttershy felt lightheaded as her head fell into the small soda puddle on the carpet gently. “I feel woozy…”

 

Fluttershy fell asleep yet again, as a shadowy figure walked up behind her. It picked her up and carried her, as Fluttershy began to have a vision in her sleep…

 

“So...how does it feel to be trapped with nowhere to run?” the voice of a manifestation of Rarity tossing a hypnotist’s watch in the air and catching it could be heard in Fluttershy’s mind. “The roles have been reversed...this time I’ll-”

 

All of a sudden, Rarity’s words were cut off as Fluttershy slowly opened her eyes. She was in a room that looked like a laboratory of some kind, lying on the seat you sat on during your last check-up at the doctor’s office that wasn’t a chair. Looking ahead of her, she could make out five figures surrounding a giant metallic device wired to two metal doors talking.

 

“Are you sure we can trust her?” a figure that resembled Rarity wearing a blue uniform with an IDPD symbol on it said. “It seems too good to be true that she’s alive.”

 

“I’ve proven to you that only the Fluttershys from the other worlds are dead.” a figure that resembled a teenaged Luna dressed in the same uniform as Rarity flashed what looked like a black notebook. “What more do you want?”

 

“From what we know, “Fluttershy” should be no more!” replied the Rarity figure. “Did everyone just forget about Sombra altogether?”

 

“”Everyone” didn’t “just” forget.” a figure that looked like Discord made a fourth wall joke. “He didn’t really say or do much besides set traps. It’s been seventeen months, he could be dead perhaps.”

 

All the other figures appeared to turn to Discord in confusion. One of them appeared so confused that he walked away trying to grasp the situation.

 

“Wait…” a figure that looked like Celestia with a glass of wine said. “Are you talking about Sombra or Sombra?”

 

“Neither,” the Discord figure chuckled as he read a comic book while looking at himself in a mirror. “I meant Sombra.”

 

“Oh yeah, that’s right…” the Celestia figure replied bemusedly. “Thanks to our worlds, there’s three of him too…”

 

“Hey, are you sleeping with your eyes open or looking at the real world in a dream?” a figure who was clearly a human named Sky dressed in the same uniform as Rarity and Luna stared into Fluttershy’s eyes. “Can you answer my questions while you’re doing things like that?”

 

“Sky!” Celestia shouted as everyone came over to where Fluttershy laid. “What have I told you about talking to ponies who aren’t strangers to me? It’s funnier when you confuse those I don’t know!”

 

“Boss…” Discord grinned as he donned his co-creator outfit from before. “I think our little friend is awake.”

 

“How do you know that?” Fluttershy asked a...peculiar question. “Are you a psychic, because that’s really weird.”

 

“Beautiful…” Celestia smiled as she knew the reason for this kind of ...peculiar. “I’m terribly sorry Detective Fluttershy, but thanks to you passing out, I wasn’t able to introduce you to the ones who will join you on this mission. Say hello to your fellow officers from the Inter-Dimensional Police  Department, Rarity, Sky, and Luna.”

 

“Hello to Rarity, Sky, and Luna.” Fluttershy said, facing Discord. Discord tried to contain his laughter and turned her around to face the eponymous trio.

 

“Why is she acting really weird?” Sky asked Rarity and Luna. “That’s really weird.”

 

“Look at the pot calling the black kettle black…” Rarity said what she said. “Do you mind, Luna?”

 

“It appears I have no choice but not to mind…” Luna prepared to do what she learned in school. “I’ll tell you the reason why we’re here Fluttershy. You can’t solve this case without our help. That’s why we need to help you. We’re here because we need to come with you to the World of Creation and the World of Evolution and collect six orbs. They will show us the way to bring Chrysalis’ killer to justice.”

 

“You explained that to me so fast I hardly understand,” Fluttershy replied. “That’s an interesting skill, who taught it to you?”

 

“HIS NAME MUST NOT BE SPOKEN.” Luna proclaimed demonically with fire in her eyes that died after she finished her sentence. “...Anyways, I think a visual demonstration will provide a better in-depth explanation than spoken dialogue…”

 

Luna walked over to the metallic device connected to the doors with magic glowing in her horn and fired a blast at it. As a result, a portal materialized in each of the two doorways. The portal on the left doorway appeared in the form of a portrait of Fluttershy kneeling down at a grave, and the portal on the right doorway appeared in the form of a portrait of Fluttershy in a fetal position, surrounded by pure darkness and transforming into a human boy with blue, white-streaked hair.

 

“What could it possibly mean?” Celestia winked to the audience as she spilled some wine on the floor.

 

“Like, I don’t know.” the audience, which turned out to be a bunch of Discords seated in a stadium said. “A sign of the Illuminati?”

 

“Ha ha ha…” Celestia gave the laugh we all know now as Discord made the Discords and stadium disappear together by encasing them in a pyramid of paper that vanished. “What would I do without you Discord?”

 

“Try to carry out your plans and fail?” Discord playfully taunted.

 

“Keep pushing your luck you schmuck... “ Celestia continued chuckling. “It amuses me.”

 

“I could wrap that comment in a blanket and hand it right back to you…” Discord replied as he wrapped something in a black cloth and tied it around a wooden stick. “But unfortunately, I have to get going…”

 

Discord walked up to the middle of the doorways and made a portal that was in the form of a portrait of Fluttershy sitting on a cloud above a land, staring at the sky with glowing white eyes as pitch-black darkness enshrouded the land below her and radiant light brightened the sky above her.

 

“See you around Rarity…” Discord said his farewell to the group. As he entered the portal, something fell out of the cloth he was carrying...a ring with a stygian-colored gemstone encased in it. Rarity noticed this, quickly went over to the ring and picked it up.

 

“Wait, you forgot…” Rarity stopped in mid-sentence, seeing that Discord was too far gone to get his jewelry back. Upon examining the ring, she got a smirk as she slipped it into a pocket in her fur.

 

“So was that the visual demonstration?” Fluttershy pondered. “All I saw was a bunch of talking.”

 

“Oh, sorry for being so rude and not interrupting a conversation my superiors were having…” Luna replied in a frustrated tone. “Now then…”

 

“She’s got you there kid.” Celestia commented as her wine glass magically refilled itself. “I’m the only one who gets to interrupt the conversations of others, and I’m gladly going to interrupt yours by explaining what Luna was going to tell you myself.”

 

“This never ends…” Luna sighed.

 

“I think you can already see,” said Celestia as she turned around to face the portals, “where you need to go. I think you can already figure out what you’re going to do. But do you know what to do with the orbs after you’ve done what you’ve done?”

 

“Oh, I didn’t think about needing to think about that.” Sky responded.

 

“The orbs,” continued Celestia as she ignored Sky, “need to be brought back here and given to me so I can gather them together. When all of them are together, they’ll combine and form a light that will guide us to our hearts’ desires. When Discord and I created the worlds, we had hopes that one would find the orbs, but of course, that never happened…”

“Uh huh,” Luna could barely hide her feelings on what a drag this was. “Anyways, I have a map of both worlds that will help us find…”

 

“Just one more question, Celestia.” Fluttershy interrupted a now fuming Luna. “Why am I dressed like this?”

 

Fluttershy pointed out that she was wearing a frumpy white shirt, black pants and socks, and had her hair groomed back to look like Phoenix Wright’s, only with some of the hair in her eyes.

 

“It’s a special detective’s outfit I felt would suit you…” Celestia smirked as she spilled some more wine on the floor. “Now then, which world do you all want to venture to first? The World of Creation, or the World of Evolution?”

 

“The World of Evolution, please.” Fluttershy decided unusually quickly. “The portrait on its portal is a little weirder, and that interests me.”

 

“Go on ahead then…” Celestia bowed, strangely ignoring what input the other strangely silent police officers may have had to offer. Fluttershy approached the portal, but when she tried to go through it, she only ended up butting against it.

 

“Huh?” Fluttershy responded in confusion at being denied entrance. “Is this portrait portal a fake? If it is, it’s not a very transparent one since I can’t pass through it and see what’s beyond it…”

 

“How odd…” Celestia stuck her front left leg arm holding a now full wine glass through the portal just fine. “It isn’t broken, but I’ll try to fix whatever’s wrong with it. Is the World of Creation portal okay?”

 

Fluttershy went over to the other portal and was able to put her front right hoof through it just alright.

 

“I guess I know where we’re going first then…” Fluttershy turned and faced the others. “Do you guys want me to go first?”

 

“Do we care?!” Luna retorted a rhetorical question. “I just want to do something other than standing around and listening to all this!”

 

“Wait, do you want to know if I care?” Fluttershy mistook herself as part of Luna’s “we”.

 

“YYYYYAAAAAHHHHH!” Luna yelled as she charged at Fluttershy, causing both of them to go through the portal. Rarity smiled as she and Sky walked over to the portal.

 

“Looks like we’re going to have some intriguing comic relief on our journey this time, my dear friend.” Rarity remarked as she gave Sky a pat on the back.

 

“Comic relief? Do comics get tired of people grabbing them and looking at them?” Sky wondered. “If so, that’s really queer.”

 

Rarity just sighed and kept smiling, having already said what she wanted. As she and Sky entered the portal, Celestia finished all of the wine in her glass with her typical smile and sealed off the portal behind them with her magic.

 

“This is just too easy…” Celestia proceeded to teleport herself to outside her bedroom door with a simple spell, where familiar singing voices and music could be heard. “Even if they don’t trust me, I can still make them do whatever I want them too…”

 

When Celestia entered the bedroom, the voices were clear to be those of the Dark Sky band. Dumb-bell, Hoops, Score, Ghost Rainbow Dash, and Derpy were finishing up their rehearsal of their latest song, Boring Stuff You Don’t Understand, with Derpy singing in place of Fluttershy’s absence. It had gone something like this…

 

Boring Stuff You Don’t Understand

 

Boring stuff...you don’t understand

Things you truly...can’t stand

Makes you truly...want to get up and stand…

Sitting with a droning lampstand…

 

The dullest things…you don’t understand

Duller than knowing squat in a...headstand!

Headbands won’t save us...FROM THE BLOW…

...OF A HOT DOG STAND!

 

So let’s stand...hand and hand and comprehand…

...How to make a stand…

 

“Greetings, my bodacious bards,” Celestia tried to be cool with the kids and the times.

 

“Oh, hi Celestia.” Dumb-bell remarked.

 

“Did you like the song?” Hoops asked. “I wrote the lyrics.”

 

“I came up with the awesome tune!” Rainbow strummed her air guitar.

 

“...” Score elaborated on all the things he did silently.

 

“I yelled in the microphone and made a lot of noise!” Derpy exclaimed.

 

“It was good…” Celestia twirled a strand of her hair with her magic. “But I doubt it will be as good as the next song you’re going to compose. I have something really interesting to tell all of you. And I think it will inspire you to make a song that will blow everypony’s mind…”

 

Celestia proceeded to tell the Dark Sky everything that happened the way she liked best. When she had finished talking, the Dark Sky members all had looks of horror engraved on their faces.

 

“No way…” Dumb-bell said with a gulp.

 

“She didn’t…” Hoops said as he broke out in a cold sweat.

 

“She did…” Celestia replied as she teleported them to the laboratory-like room and pointed to the portal. “Now might be your only chance…”

 

“....!” Score swore silently.

 

“You better believe shit!” Derpy swore with a proclamation. “We have to follow her!”

 

“Sorry, but we won’t let this happen Fluttershy!” Rainbow Dash declared. “We’re coming for you!”

 

The Dark Sky members passed through the portal to the World of Evolution. As Celestia sealed the portal behind them, she said one more thing…

 

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

[Metal Snake]

Episode 5: Maud God

You will tell the orb.

 

Upon passing through the portal, Fluttershy, Luna, Rarity, and Sky arrived in a strange small town resembling Ponyville. It was deserted, with wind blowing through the air inside deserted buildings. No one was around…

 

“Wow, this place is a ghost town.” Fluttershy commented as she examined the area. “It’s so desolate I doubt even ghosts would live here…”

 

“Heh.” Luna gave a small hint that she knew something. “This is only what Ponyville used to be like some time in the past. ...Rarity?”

 

“Already on it…” Rarity said as she changed into a familiar black ninja outfit and pulled out a scroll and pocket watch from her fur. “Downgrade Fusion Hidden Art No. 12: Future Bend!”

 

With incomprehensible movements, the scroll and pocket watch inexplicably contorted into vibrant, pulsating waves that transformed the beautifully depraved hovel-like town of Ponyville into an extraordinary metropolis that looked cool and nice.

 

“THIS is the Ponyville we want to explore,” said Luna as she was viewing the beautiful statues of a certain earth pony’s head being built by people who didn’t like their jobs. “We must seek the ruler of this town, they should know where the orb is. Once we have one of the orbs, it will guide us to the others by pinpointing their exact locations on our map.”

 

“Wait, how do we know that the ruler of this town is going to help us?” Fluttershy asked quietly, making herself sound smart. “Should we ask his or her subordinates to tell us whether he slash she is bad with or without good?”

 

“Who said we couldnt use force if necessary?” Rarity donned a cocky grin with that line, leading the way into town as a slightly annoyed Luna followed.

 

“I wonder if that’s not a good idea,” replied a hapless Sky as he walked with them. “You can actually break a ruler if you put too much force on it.”

 

“That kid…” Fluttershy thought, getting a strange feeling as she followed the group as well. “Why is it that what he says reminds me so much of what I think? Does he just really admire my brain, or…”

 

After the group walked for five minutes, Rarity suddenly stopped and pulled a beeping wristwatch out of her fur pocket.

 

“Time out guys,” said Rarity as she pulled out the watch and turned the alarm off. “It’s time I realized that I have no idea where we’re going.”

 

“Celestia damn it to God, Rarity!” Luna shouted. “This is why I was the one leading the way! Thanks to you, we’re now in...THAT part of town.”

 

“But the map says you’re in THIS part of town…” Fluttershy said as she pointed to a pony stick figure on Luna’s map that had the words “YOU’RE THIS GUY” inscribed below it.

 

“What does it matter?” Luna retorted. “I don’t wanna be the guy!”

 

“Hey, you unknown folk.” two figures dressed in gray robes with hoods that covered their faces said in a less-than-dull tone, approaching the group. “What is your purpose for being in the parking lot of our church?”

 

“Um...none.” Sky tried to talk everyone’s way out of this. “But we mean you no harm in having no meaning to be here, trust everyone here.”

 

“I’m afraid we can not do that…” the figure replied as they pulled off their hoods. “We haven’t reached that level yet, for we can not even trust ourselves.”

 

“Hey, you guys are…” Rarity responded upon seeing their faces. “Maud Pie!”

 

“You are about 80% correct…” they tried to give their statement some color with statistics. “We weren’t born Maud Pie. We are but two of the many humans brought to the pony world by Chrysalis to be experimented on for BMS summoning tests.”

 

“...!” Fluttershy had an exclamatory thought. “Why does this feel...like it should be familiar?”

 

“Chrysalis took the bodies and minds of two hundred humans and transformed them into the bodies and minds of Maud Pie.” they continued. “Before she completed the experiment by transforming our souls too, Chrysalis died, and we were only left with about three places to go. And out of those three places, Celestia forced us and all of the other incomplete Mauds to come here, the World of Creation.”

 

“You guys sure are talkative for ponies who don’t trust us.” Rarity snickered as she flashed her IDPD badge. “You do realize we’re cops, right? We came to this world to investigate the case of Chrysalis’ murder, and anything you say here regarding Chrysalis can be considered testimony for said case. We could have you brought to court as witnesses on a day where you really don’t want to come if we wanted, so I hope you don’t have any ideas that you have power over us...”

 

“Rarity, please…” Luna pleaded. “That went on for even longer than what they just said...To put it bluntly, “Maud Pies”, we’re not here for trouble. We’re here to look for something vital to our investigation, this town’s orb.”

 

“So you want to find the one who did it…” the Maud Pies replied with smiles on their faces. “That interests us. Whoever killed Chrysalis was clearly more powerful than her. If they knew, and if it were to benefit them, they would show us how to complete our transformation. ...Alright, we’ll take you to a pony who knows where the orb is. Ironically*, that pony is our leader.”

 

*They don’t know what the word means, they’re just trying to be colorful.

 

“Wait, where are we going?” Fluttershy asked as everyone followed the Maud Pies to the front of a church building.

 

“To church.” they answered as they opened the doors of the church. The inside of it was filled with benches made of stone, a gray and purple carpet leading to a stone stage and a stone statue of Maud Pie at the end of the room, and a jewel chandelier above the stage that housed candles made of wax mixed with a few materials found in rocks. The stone benches also contained 197 Maud Pies who were in the middle of a church service singing a song…

 

Thy Pie, God Maud

 

God Maud, you are our god

Pie, you are the word after her name

At the end of our trod, our bodies are sod

But forever and ever, our souls will proclaim

 

The praises we give you, they never will cease

Only with you, shall we find our peace

THY PIE! …..The name that we know.

GOD MAUD!  …..The one who will show.

 

“Our leader makes a fabulous appearance at the end of every service,” explained the robed Maud Pies, “following Pastor Pinkie Pie’s sermon. Until then, you’ll have to wait.”

 

While the Maud Pies were singing, the group found themselves a seat on one of the benches. The Maud Pies sitting adjacent to them noticed that Rarity, Sky, Luna, and Fluttershy looked nothing like them. They gave them a quick glance and then turned their heads straight back out of apparent embarrassment for their concern...

 

“It’s as if they find our appearance strange,” said Sky with a weird expression on his face, “but they don’t want to look strange themselves by doing something that’s considered strange in their world. Isn’t that uncanny?”

 

“We already figured that out, shit-for-brains Sherlock.” Rarity demeaned like an illegible dictionary that didn’t know what was on the shelf next to it.

 

“Why do I feel like…I just got insulted too?” Fluttershy asked herself in her mind as Sky slumped in the bench and gave himself a head knock with his fist in confusion.

 

Once the singing part of the service ended with a mildly resounding “Amen.”, Pastor Pinkie Pie finally appeared from behind the Maud Pie statue and walked up on stage dressed in a red devil costume.

 

“Great job on the singing everyone!” she complimented them as she clapped her hooves together. “A bit dynamic on some keys, but pretty flat for the most part, so it’s all good! And moving on, what do you all have to say about me today?”

 

“That you are evil incarnate and the sight of your face makes us want to puke.” the Maud Pies answered in unison.

 

“Ooh, your remarks of disdain for me are getting less colorful and less imaginative.” Pinkie continued her laud. “I can still remember the first time I had you guys insult me. Oh boy, that was so bad you had me crying for days!”

 

“Am I the only one who finds this out of place?” Luna whispered to Rarity. “Why is she trying to get them to hate her when the real Maud Pie is supposed to love Pinkie Pie?”

 

“Excuse me!” Pinkie exclaimed as she pointed to the police officers, creating a scene before Sky or Fluttershy could. “What are you whispering about? And what are you doing here in the first place?! We’re in the middle of a Pies-only church service! Visitors are prohibited! Come back when we’re in the middle of a bake sale!”

 

“Hold on for a quick minute!” the robed Mauds from earlier called out. “These officers are with us! They’re investigating the case our leader has been trying to solve since the founding of this cult, the case of Queen Chrysalis’ murder!”

 

“Gasp.” responded all the Maud Pies in the service as they tried to create dull silence.

 

“Our god’s prayers have been answered…” the devil Pinkie said with her eyes lighting up. “Come now everypony! It’s time to take communion! That goes for you guys too!”

 

With those words, the group and all the Maud Pies in the church lined up facing the stage. The two robed Mauds came to the stage holding a silver platter of a myriad of tiny rocks and one single purple goblet containing rainbow juice. Each Maud Pie in line came forward to the platter, took one of the rocks and swallowed it, took a sip of the juice, and walked to the back of the line. When it was the group’s turn, Luna picked up the rock and goblet and glanced over at her teammates with a look of discomfort.

 

“Remember…” she told them. “It’s for the good of everyone.”

“Huh, that’s what my mom said when she drank.” Sky said, thinking of Celestia.

 

After the communion was over, the group’s suffering was not yet over, as all the Maud Pies in the church began to chant something incomprehensible. During the chanting, Pinkie Pie pulled out a scroll, a small rock, and a vial of rainbow juice. She ingested the rock and juice and sort of squished the scroll between her hooves.

 

“Upgrade Fusion: Hidden Art No. 21: BMS Summoning!” she shouted as a gray aura surrounded the scroll and a purple aura illuminated from inside her belly. “Body: Maud Pie, Mind: Maud Pie, Soul: Maud Pie, ASSEMBLE!”

 

With a blinding flash of light...a wooden door appeared on the Maud Pie statue and an odd looking figure walked out of it. Dressed in a bright pink leather jacket, dark pink boots, white sunglasses with yellow shades, a black choker around her neck that looked like a guitar strap, and with three tattoos on her body of Maud Pie’s face (one was on each of her arms with words below it saying “FREE RIDES” and one was on her crotch with words below it saying “Heavy Lifter”), God Maud Pie had entered the holy house.

 

“What is up.” God Maud stated. “Why have I been summoned. Pinkie Pie, isn’t it time for your stories.”

 

“Those...aren’t important right now.” Pinkie replied with a bit of sweat trickling down from her face, having once had plans to make up stories for the sermon about laughing at funerals, having parties that literally burned down the house, and showing concern for roadkill insects. “What’s important is that we have some very important visitors who can help us with a crucial case! They’re police officers trying to figure out who murdered the one we have to thank for everything we’ve been through, including the good stuff! Queen Chrysalis!”

 

“So they’re finally here.” God Maud thought as an apathetically evil grin formed on her face. “I’m finally going to get to prove to Celestia that I’m more than just a puppet with no personality.”

 

“That news is very good, Pinkie Pie.” God Maud exclaimed. “Send them up here so I can talk to them.”

 

“Loki in an oak tree with Doki!” Pinkie Pie agreed to get them as God Maud grabbed a joint and lighter from inside her jacket. As Pinkie Pie guided the group onto the stage, she and the others stopped in surprise as they saw God Maud smoking weed.

 

“Leader, are you...getting high?” Pinkie Pie asked in confusion.

 

“Pinkie, I’M DRUNK.” Maud Pie replied, raising her voice dully. I’m stoned one-hundred percent of the time in that statue anyways, so like, I don’t care about nothing, man.”

 

“But...these cops just showed up to help us.” Pinkie Pie said with concern. “How can you provide them with accurate information if you’re like this?”

 

“Like this.” God Maud responded, and took off her jacket. She threw it across the stage to where the group was as vials spilled out of it. When the police officers investigated the inside of the coat, they couldn’t believe their eyes. The coat had contained a collection of every single illegal drug known to Equestrians, including LSD.

 

“This can’t be real…” Luna remarked with a horrified look on her face. “At least in the World of Origin, the possession of this many drugs would get you something worse than the death penalty! ...Which in retrospect, isn’t very difficult to get, but never have I seen a criminal get it for illegal drug possession!”

 

“Sorry God Maud,” said Sky as he got out his handcuffs and walked over to God Maud, “you may be God here, but we have to arrest you.”

 

“NO!!!” Rarity yelled out, but it was too late. God Maud grabbed the back of Sky’s police shirt, and shoved her joint up his right nostril, putting it out and burning a hole through the nostril. The pain was so bad that even the typically detached Sky was hollering in agony.

 

“Aw yeah, you like that.” Maud mocked in a monotone. “Oh yeah, and in your words, not mine, get down on the ground.”

 

God Maud then thrust Sky into the stone floor, sending him flying across it to where the drugs were, scattering the vials everywhere and causing many of them to break, forming a weird substance on the floor.

 

“SKY!” Luna and Fluttershy cried as they went over to the wounded officer.

 

“Wait, NO!” Rarity yelled, being too late again as she noticed a pink gas cloud forming from the substance.

 

“What is our leader doing?” the other Maud Pies in the church asked. “This is not like her!”

 

“Oh please,” said God Maud with dull sarcastic wit, “I’ve always been like this. The only reason I started this cult is because I wanted to see Pinkie Pie embarrass herself in front of a bunch of me. I was also just pretending to care about the Queen Chrysalis case and created all those drugs with my powers just so I could make a scene like this. I hate Pinkie. I hate the police. I hate everything. I’ll kill you all. BURN EVERYTHING TO THE GROUND..”  

 

“No...you’re not Maud!” Pinkie shouted. “You’re no god, you’re...a fraud!”

 

Pinkie and the Maud Pies in the church succumbed to the fumes, as the gas cloud enveloped the entire church, getting everypony high.

 

“This ought to be good.” God Maud gave a drab chuckle, getting ready to watch the fruit of her evil. However, before as soon as she sat down…

 

*SHINK* A shuriken was thrust through God Maud’s right cheek. As she turned to her right to face her attacker…

 

“You mean it WILL be good…” the attacker, revealed to be Rarity said. “...after you’re DEAD.”

 

God Maud quickly got her head off of Rarity’s sword and jumped back. Looking around, she saw that everypony except her and Rarity was in a perfectly still position.

 

“You froze time…” God Maud looked back to the past. “And you weren’t affected by the gas cloud either.  So you’re a god too. If you weren’t trying to kill me, I’d ask you to join me.”

 

“Shove it.” Rarity was having none of it. “You lied to everyone, hurt my friend, and got everyone stoned. There’s no way I’ll ever be allies with a horrible god like you, let alone let you live.”

 

“And if you weren’t so dense…” God Maud gave another reason.

 

“I SAID NO!” Rarity screamed, swinging her shuriken sharply as God Maud dodged dully. Rarity tried to pierce her shuriken through God Maud’s head again, but God Maud spat a small boulder out of her mouth. It hit Rarity’s shuriken and knocked it away from her. Rarity then tried to throw her ninja blade at God Maud, but God Maud responded by spitting out a larger-than-Rarity sized pebble to shield her.

 

“Enough fooling around,” said God Maud as she picked up the rock that the sword had hardly penetrated and lifted it over her head, “it’s time to give up. You of all ponies should know.”

 

As God Maud walked over with the rock in her hooves, the time god Rarity could only put a hoof in her fur and catch her breath…

 

“Hyah.” God Maud had never given a more energetic cry in her life as she crushed Rarity with the rock. “GAME OVER.”

 

God Maud smiled victoriously as she saw time starting to flow again. Everypony was tripping as they slipped back into the present.

 

“I just don’t get how our leader saw us as tools…” a Maud Pie remarked. “I mean, we’re so dull. Like, aren’t tools better when they’re sharp, man?”

 

“Hey, can I be the cake at your party next week?” Pinkie asked as she laid on the floor crying about what Maud said. “I think that’s how ponies would like me...just saying nothing as I’m fading away, fading away as the party goes on…”

 

“I’m not five years old anymore Celestia!” Luna shouted. “Why do you keep forgetting when you’re the one who made me that way!”

 

“Wah ha ha ha ha.” God Maud had a mundane laugh of triumph. “I guess…”

 

All of a sudden, an explosion blew up the pebble and sent God Maud flying back against the wall behind her. And from the explosion emerged none other than...Robot Alicorn Rarity! When she reached in her fur earlier, she was grabbing a scroll that allowed her to cast a reality-bending spell (Upgrade Fusion: Hidden Art No. 14: Reality Swap) on herself, turning her into her robot alicorn self from the World of Evolution! If you recall, that self of hers can transform into weapons, so she became a bomb just in time!

 

“You guessed wrong…” Rarity replied as she transformed her robotic right arm into a shuriken edge. “But you can have this as a prize!”

 

Rarity thrust the edge into God Maud’s head, finally destroying her target, a familiar chip in God Maud’s brain. As the chip shattered, God Maud imploded into a white orb that rolled across the floor to Rarity’s robot hooves that acted as her feet. From the white orb, the soul of the real Maud Pie emerged.

 

“Thank you for saving me.” the soul of the real Maud Pie said with apathetic gratitude. “You even knew that the source of my evil was the immorality chip Chrysalis had implanted into my brain back when I was one of her test subjects. How.”

 

“This version of me once had an immorality chip implanted in her as well.” Rarity recalled. “It was the only explanation I could think of for a pony like you being so irrationally evil.”

 

“Aw, you believed in me.” Real Maud replied in a tone as sweet as stale candy. “But I’m afraid you won’t win the fight against your next great foe with the power of trust. That foe is truly evil and will try to kill you and your friends in the form of a foe you’ve already killed.”

 

“Thanks for the hint, but it was more like a dead giveaway…” Rarity remarked, already knowing who it was.

 

“Don’t worry, there’s another clue that this orb should tell you.” Real Maud explained. “Now that you’ve found this one, there’s only two left. One in the Crystal Empire region, and one in the Canterlot region. And something tells me you’re going to end up going to the Crystal Empire first…”

 

“I figured…” Rarity said, giving a grin and a glance over to Fluttershy and Sky, who were staring in space with the stoned Luna.

 

“I guess there’s only one thing left for me to do now.” Real Maud gave a content and unenthusiastic sigh of relief. “I’ll uphold my promise to these humans the best I can by giving them each a piece of my soul. That should help them become as close to me as they can get. Also, tell Pinkie Pie that she was right. That Maud she saw was just a fake. The real Maud Pie will always be at her side…”

 

And with that, the real Maud’s soul divided itself into 199 small spirits that swam through the air in the church.

 

“Wow, this book has good graphics.” a Maud Pie had one more drug-deluded line before one of the spirits entered her (him?) and the rest of the Mauds.

 

“Beautiful…” a miraculously healed Sky commented on the sight.

 

“So appealing to the eyes…” Fluttershy followed up.

 

“Stop acting like you’re in kindergarten!” Luna hollered, still high. “I’m the one who’s supposed to be there, damn it!”

 

“Peculiar…” Rarity gave her opinion as she walked over to the group with the orb in hooves. “How come the wound in your nostril is gone Sky? And how are you and Fluttershy not stoned anymore while Luna is?”

 

“We were stoned…” said Fluttershy truthfully as Rarity did a reality-bending spell on Luna (Upgrade Fusion: Hidden Art No. 1: Reality Restoration) to cure her highness. “But...this shadow suddenly appeared to us and told us he would...cleanse our bodies and minds.”

 

“Interesting how you say we…” Rarity gave them a suspicious look before looking at the orb and realizing that it was glowing and making a message appear in the air…

 

Search the numbers, the pattern reveals the truth.

 

Oh yeah, and…

 

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

[Metal Snake]

Episode 6: The Princess Police

Klaus bartz aho!

 

“Well, I guess now that that’s accomplished,” said Rarity, picking up from where we last left off, “we can continue with our mission!”

 

“Wait, what will the Mauds do now that their leader is gone?” Fluttershy reminded Rarity, pointing to the Maud Pies in the church who were now grinning bored and weird smiles in light of their new identities. “Don’t they need help?”

 

“We all need help.” the Mauds replied as philosophically as a stone mason who grew a huge beard after an accident with pottery. “But I think it’s time we said goodbye. We only cared about solving Chrysalis’ murder because we thought our leader did. But now, we’ll each find our own purpose by ourselves. Thanks for giving us all the therapy we need for now, we’ll remember you.”

 

“Then without further ado…” Rarity said as she walked over to Pinkie Pie, did the same spell she did on Luna earlier, and left a strange scrap of paper in her suit. “Yeah, we’ve waited long enough. Farewell.”

 

The group left the church and prepared to continue their quest.

 

“AH!” Luna interrupted the gang’s continuation. “Before we go anywhere, let me establish that I am the highest-ranking member of the IDPD and your leader as such!”

 

The group stopped and turned to Luna.

 

“Good,” continued Luna, “now that I have your attention, I would like to inform that I am your superior and I will lead this mission! Everyone, get behind me!”

 

The group shrugged their shoulders, deciding to let Luna get her way as they walked behind her and prepared to follow the way she would lead. As Luna began to walk north and yonder, so did the group. They started walking and walking and trodding and toiling and leaving footprints in the ground, and walking and occasionally flying over stuff Rarity didn’t want to dirty her hooves on, and walking into a car Rarity turned herself into with her robot alicorn god powers because she was bored, and driving in said car, and Sky going…

 

“Hey!” Sky went as he looked at the map Luna was holding (he and Fluttershy were in the backseat, Luna was in the passenger’s seat, and a mini minivan-version of Rarity was driving in the driver’s seat). “Something’s not right with that map…”

 

“What do you mean?” Luna asked. “How is it not right? Is X not marking the spot or something?”

 

“I’m afraid there’s a much bigger problem than that…” Sky replied, not picking up on Luna’s sarcasm. “That map shows us where the orb is in the Crystal Empire region, but not where the orb is in the Canterlot region! Is there a reason for that, or am I just being me again?”

 

Luna played with her hair upon noticing that Sky was right. A dark blue dot on the map indicated where the orb was in the Crystal Empire region, but no dot showed up in the Canterlot region. It seemed that some unknown force wanted the group to venture to the Crystal Empire before Canterlot...but for what reason?

 

“Like you would say…” Luna said in a mysterious-like tone. “Why is not doing the same on both? That’s really queer.”

 

“Uh...I’m feeling so bored…” Rarity groaned robotically, being her own kind of Maud. “Sorry guys, but I think this car is just about to crash.”

 

“Crash?” Fluttershy intervened. “But if you fall asleep at the wheel, doesn’t that mean the car will…”

 

“Arrive uninvited?” a mysterious new voice chimed in as the car window to Rarity’s left shattered, letting in a bunch of wind. Everyone in the car’s attention immediately turned to the culprit, two back hooves belonging to...Shining Armor! “As princess of this town, I humbly request you to stop this vehic…”

 

With that, the car swerved and smashed into a metal pole as it let itself into the big city area of the Crystal Empire. The group wasn’t in a parking lot this time though, despite having a car now. They were in a meter zone where cars parked on slopes. Since the car had abruptly docked itself on the slope, it rolled down and smashed into the front of the car that was now behind it. On the plus side however, Shining Armor fell off the left side of the car in the midst of the chaos and was now rolling down the slope in the street like a top that had a baller performance in an arena of rocks.

 

“Uh...I’m feeling so dizzy…” Rarity said as she transformed back into her robot alicorn pony self, causing everyone in the car to fall in the street on their butts hard.

 

“Never mind me and the others…” Luna selflessly ignored her pain before she ignored everyone else’s. “Anyways, we have to pursue that ne’er-do-well. He called himself a princess, the highest authority in any Equestrian reality! If he doesn’t have the orb, who else could possibly have it?”

 

“His mother, I’d bet.” Rarity joked, cocking her right arm into a sword while Luna began readying two enigmatic dark-blue guns.

 

“So we’re going to follow him?” Sky said, thinking he couldn’t go wrong by stating what had already been made clear.

 

“Ha ha, no.” Rarity proved him wrong. “WE’RE as in LUNA AND I’RE going to follow him. We may like you kids, but you only deserve points for heart, not experience. After what happened last time, I’d rather have you two shy guys sit this one out. Trust me, I’m the god of time, and if there’s anything I can’t stand, it’s a repeat of something I can’t stand.”

 

“Please stay put until we return,” pleaded Luna. “If you see anything suspicious though, notify us and we’ll report back to you straight away.”

 

“Alright…” Sky replied in disappointment. “I guess we’ll be alright with that…”

 

Luna and Rarity went down the slope as Sky went over to Fluttershy and sat down, feeling down.

 

“That was worse than the sound of a well-functioning vacuum…” Fluttershy gave a critical analysis. “Does being around them make you feel like you suck too?”

 

“Celestia told me I did that at the bank she robbed for the training exercise I had to pass to be an officer…” Sky responded gracefully. “But I stayed away from the lollipops she was taking, so I don’t know what she was talking about. It was really weird.”

 

“Yeah, I don’t understand it either.” Fluttershy continued reviewing their situation. “Why do we think and act so...differently from others? Is it because we try too hard to be like them? Is it a paradox? Or is it because...we’re a paradox?”

 

Suddenly, Fluttershy and Sky’s eyes lit up as something dawned on them…

 

“I think I know what you’re onto…” Sky said as he felt a familiar presence from before. “And I also think what you’re onto...is onto us.”

 

Sky’s suspicions were confirmed when a shadow exuded from his body and came onto both him and Fluttershy…

 

Meanwhile, with Rarity and Luna…

 

“Ugh...where in the world of Discord’s hell is he?” Rarity complained. “We’ve been searching for ten minutes now and I’m getting tired.”

 

“Oh shut up Rarity,” whined Luna, “this should be nothing compared to the kind of waiting you had to do during your test to become a police officer.”

 

“Oh, you mean the one where I had to sit in a waiting room in a children’s hospital while Celestia robbed the place of its free suckers?” Rarity recalled. “Yeah, I cheated on that test. I stopped time for everyone but her and I and then went out there and beat her up before she came by the room to taunt me for being such a sweet little tool.”

 

“Wait a minute, you beat up Celestia?!” a surprised Luna exclaimed. “You were just supposed to get her at gunpoint and “arrest her”! Not only should you have immediately failed for that, Celestia can’t be that weak…”

 

“At least you didn’t say I can’t be that strong,” replied Rarity. “But yeah, she begged me for mercy as soon as she saw my shuriken and blade. Then after spouting some crap about how she would have beaten me if she had her wine with her, she let me pass the test.”

 

“That...doesn’t make any sense, yet…” Luna began to ponder. “I think it might tie in with something that does make sense.”

 

Once those words were said, Luna was promptly hit in the face with a pair of blue, white-laced panties. Luna gave a bemused look as they fell to the ground.

 

“And would that thing happen to be…” a voice belonging to Shining Armor cackled. “A beautiful prince?”

 

A figure stepped out from behind one of the cars on the slope, revealing himself to look almost exactly like Prince Cadance. The only real difference in appearance was that she was wearing a police officer uniform and a badge with the initials “D.M.C.P.D.” (Dimensions May Collapse Police Department) engraved on it.

 

“Wait, weren’t you a princess and Shining Armor just a bit earlier?” Rarity asked in confusion. “Be consistent with the times, man!”

 

“Man?” Prince Cadance replied with a laugh. “What man? I’m a woman, a cross between a woman and a man. And yeah, I don’t care that it’s confusing. Womaman and manwo just don’t sound that good.”

 

“Enough surfer slang!” Rarity bellowed. “I don’t care who you are or what you did to make yourself who you are, so long as I make you what you should be!”

 

“Ooh, a control freak.” Cadance said, knowing this was the god of time. “Your kind are always fun to watch getting out of control. Especially if it’s HIS control you’re trying to get out of…”

 

“You know the One Who Knew All the Frames of Life?” Rarity replied obliviously as the panties that had been thrown away had magically (hint hint) crawled over to her and found their way onto her robotic virile freeman. “Oh…”

 

Rarity looked down at the panties constricting her and had a bad feeling of what was to come.

 

“Let’s see how you like being just a few forms of a man…” Cadance giggled to herself. “TRANSFORM!”

 

Rarity tried to reach into her fur for a scroll with a reality-bending or time-bending spell on it, but it was too late. Bound against her will, she morphed into a variety of manly robot things, including a train, a plane, a submarine torpedo, a rocket, and a pretty pink pony princess...with a moustache. Rarity whimpered in embarrassment. Watching with interest, Luna snickered to herself, feeling Rarity did deserve this a little.

 

“Alright, enough cocking around,” said Cadance, tired of the many roles she had given Rarity, “it’s time to see how you bang!”

 

Cadance promptly turned Rarity into a pair of white-blue handguns and grabbed them. She then aimed them at a smiling Luna’s head and fired. Luna immediately ducked and jumped in the air like she was on the moon.

 

“Now I can finally take these babies out for a spin…” Luna made a catty remark as she rotated her dark-blue guns from earlier in circles like they were the moon. She began firing them while spinning them relentlessly as the recoil sent her spinning and landing a short distance behind Cadance, who had tried to shoot her again while she was in the air. Turning to face Luna, the two princes pointed their guns at each other.

 

“So it all comes down to a stand-off…” Cadance surmised.

 

“Yes…” Luna replied. “A stand-off you’ve already lost.”

 

Suddenly, Cadance lost her stance and began to wobble all around as holes formed all over her body. She collapsed on the ground, becoming nothing more than a pile of bullet caps. In the middle of the pile, all that remained were the Rarity handguns, the panties, and another orb. No longer under Cadance’s magic, the Rarity handguns turned back into Rarity and the panties became a Maud Pie-gray color. From the orb, Shining Armor’s spirit appeared, with Cadance’s spirit right beside him, giving the appearance that they had almost been fused together.

 

“You saved me,” said Shining Armor and Cadance at the same time, “thank you. Allow me to introduce myself properly this time. I’m ShiCadinganceArmor. I was with the DMCPD before I was used in one of Chrysalis’ BMS experiments and implanted with an immorality chip. While I’m glad to be free, there’s a few things I don’t understand. First of all, how did that work?”

 

“I think you already know it’s obvious that these aren’t ordinary handguns.” Luna looked up to her audience. “They’re my special Magic Eater guns, enhanced by dark magic that allows me to convert whomever they target into ammunition. So when I’m going trigger happy and wasting ammo, I’m not hurting myself, but my adversary.”

 

“What a terrifying weapon…” Shining Armor and Cadance replied simultaneously. “You’re definitely from the IDPD...but what I don’t understand is why members from the IDPD are here. You two weren’t even surprised when you saw me, a fellow officer, trying to kill you.”

 

“It’s simple really,” said Luna with a sneer. “Rarity here and I already know everything from the immorality chips to what Celestia’s really trying to do…”

 

“What Celestia’s...really trying to do?” Shining Armor and Cadance individually asked in confusion, as they never knew what Celestia was really trying to do…

 

“We’re well aware that Celestia doesn’t give petrified crap about finding out who the murderer is…” Rarity explained. “Her real reason for wanting us to collect the orbs is so the power that they’ve lost can be restored...and once that happens, she’ll...”

 

Just then, Rarity was interrupted by a strange voice...uttering poetry!

 

King Sombra Proudly Returns

 

Hello everypony, I am back

I’m not here for revenge

I’m not here to attack

Why am I here? It’s a mystery, like Stonehenge

 

No I lied, I’m going to strike back

Because I know Rarity stole my ring

Get ready for some flack

Why are you gone now? I’ve taken you under my wing…

 

And with a flash of shadow, Rarity and the orb were gone.

 

“What the…” Luna said as she looked all around. “Where did they go?”

 

When she ran back up the slope to investigate further, she was treated to a peculiar sight in the distance. Rarity was in the form of a robot truck with a shadowy aura exuding from her, and King Sombra was inside her truck form starting her engine. As he drove away in the Rarity car, Luna could also see Fluttershy in the rear windshield, tied up and trying to say something that was muffled by a piece of duck tape on her mouth.

 

“Ssshhhiiiiittt.” Luna uttered. “I never thought he would go this far…”

 

Meanwhile, inside the car, the orb was rolling around the floor trying to spell out a message…

 

Kill...er...s    have ….a cod…..e

 

MISSION…..ACCOM….PLISHE…..D…..?

[Metal Snake]

Episode 7: The Light of Two Shadows

So...You are reading this.

 

From where we last left off, the second orb was taken, Rarity was stolen and possessed by King Sombra as a car, Fluttershy was kidnapped, and Luna was pottymouthed. Damn, what a mess.

 

“Crud, what a shitty mess.” Luna watched a bit of her language. “I’m so ticked off that I want to take a piss in King Sombra’s apple juice! I have to find some way to stop him or Rarity and Fluttershy are damned to be doomed! But how?”

 

Luna looked around the meter zone and was hit with an idea by all the cars…

 

Meanwhile, King Sombra was driving the Rarity truck too fast, speeding at 225 miles per hour in a 45 mile per hour zone, running every red light and stop sign, destroying public property, causing accidents, causing the police cars and helicopters that tried to chase him down to have accidents, and occasionally picking up hitchhikers (who were all either Cadance or Shining Armor clones made from human beings)...whom he made regret getting in the car with him…

 

“Yeah, I’m sorry,” said a Shining Armor hitchhiker, getting off the truck with all the other hitchhikers at a pit stop. “This isn’t our kind of ride. It’s bumpy, noisy, disturbing the peace, and that childmolester* you have tied up in the back creeps us out.”  

*Author’s Note= Yeah...Fluttershy is still in her “detective outfit”

 

“You mean Fluttershy?” Sombra gave a wink to her. “Don’t worry, I know what to do with her. I’m going to Princess Shining Armor’s castle to turn her in, good sir.”

 

“Well golly almighty,” said one of the oblivious Cadance hitchhikers, “that is completely stupid. Shining Armor’s not a cop, Cadance is! ...Or the other way ‘round, I can’t really tell.”

 

“Whatever, I do what I want!” Sombra sassed. “I hope I never again see your front!”

 

As Sombra sped away in the truck, he hit a pothole in the road, causing the truck to swerve out of control. After that quirky anecdote, he regained control of the vehicle and kept driving until he saw a strangely upright and intact Monster energy drink can in the middle of the road. He cautiously tried to turn more to the right to avoid it, but in his recklessness, accidentally flipped the truck over and sent it spinning upside-down into a nearby ditch. Fluttershy was banged all over the place as she was flung all around, and the orb shattered the rear windshield, flying out into the field unscathed. Sombra, being slightly scourged by a piece of glass that flew from the broken windshield and cut his right cheek, was infuriated.

 

“That stupid Monster destroyed my truck!” Sombra shouted demonically as he got out of the damaged vehicle and slammed the door behind him. “I’ll dig that can a grave filled with muck!”

 

Sombra used his magic to grab the can and dig a small hole in the dirt below him at the same time. He unzipped his shadow body pants, held the can up to his freeman, and promptly filled it with lemonade that he drank yesterday. He also took off his shadow footwear and squeezed a shadow sock like a lemon to get fresh water into the can. Last of all, he poured his blood and tears into his attempt to get the can a glass of his special somepony’s favorite brand of warm milk. He shook the can up, getting a bit of the contents inside on his face in the process, and looked like he was about to drink from it before he abruptly dropped it in the hole he dug.

 

“Oops, I dropped it in nature’s toilet.” Sombra humored. “It’s a good thing that the soil will COIL IT!”

 

With that, Sombra put his hoof down into the hole and crushed the can. He buried it along with the muck, and cleaned up the mess on his face by licking it with triumph.

 

“Ha ha,” he laughed. “That was just too eas-”

 

“FREEZE!” someone shouted from behind, putting a gun to Sombra’s head. “DON’T MOVE!”

 

“How did you…?” Sombra asked, knowing it was the end of the line.

 

“Heh heh…” Luna began her line with a chuckle. “You fell right into my trap. I made myself a Monster motorcycle from downgrade fusing car parts and Monster energy drinks (my favorite!) I got from a convenience store. I got here long before you did and decided to set a trap by making one of the cans I didn’t use a force field that would react to Rarity’s essence. And for the coup de grace, I waited for you to get distracted so I could grab the orb and rescue Fluttershy.”

 

Fluttershy was standing next to Luna with the duck tape still on her mouth (Luna left it on for everyone’s sake). She appeared to be trying to tell Luna something that was muffled as she desperately tried taking the duck tape off…

 

“So you put one of your friends in jeopardy to save the other.” Sombra said gleefully. “Ha ha, that is…”

 

“Oh brother,” Luna replied, “shut up. To tell you the truth, Rarity specifically told me that if I ever had to decide to either save her or save Fluttershy to save Fluttershy. I’m just doing what I’ve been told to do.”

 

“Your voice and rebellious attitude remind me of someone…” Sombra’s memory was slightly triggered by the tone of the one who had him at gunpoint. “That’s it, you’re...Lu...lu...you...uh…”

 

“Luna…” Luna told him in frustration. “I’m the one who got you into that jar and helped you fully become Fluttershy’s body, mind, and soul, remember? Why did you betray me? Why are you taking over Sky and kidnapping the fake Fluttershy?”

 

“Betrayal? Kidnapping?” Sombra sneered. “Quit your yapping. I’m just here to accomplish my mission and get back the ring. Also, I didn’t even fully become any of those things.”

 

“What...are you...talking about?” Luna asked as her confidence began turning into confusion.

 

“Before Fluttershy completed her transformation...” Sombra replied. “She and I were attacked by a mysterious ninja who didn’t approve of our reformation...”

 

“Ninja…no, it can’t be...” Luna gulped. “How could she…”

 

“Now you’re speaking my language.” Sombra felt the rhythm, enjoying this conversation more now. “I’m also going to tell you that this is far from the end of your anguish. Though Fluttershy’s body and mind are now mine as well, she has yet to become my soul. Where her soul has gone, I don’t know the story in full.”

 

“So the soul in your body is your own…” Luna immediately went to the conclusion. “And you kidnapped the fake Fluttershy in hopes that she had Fluttershy’s spirit…”

 

“Right and wrong,” responded Sombra, “you understand the lyrics, but not the beat of the song. I am myself, mostly acting on my own accord. However, I am to kidnap Fluttershy and Sky under the order of my lord, Discord. They are to be brought to Canterlot castle for a duel.

 

“And what’s the point of this duel?” Luna questioned further. “To see who would win in a fight, a humanized Fluttershy, or a Fluttershyzed human?”

 

“I believe YOU’VE told me enough…” Sombra worded some of that correctly. “Or to be more specific, you’ve told HER enough…”

 

And with that, Sombra changed back into Fluttershy! Also, since Sombra and Fluttershy are one in the same, Fluttershy overheard the entire conversation Sombra and Luna had!

 

“Luna…” Fluttershy said with her eyes watering. “Is all that...TRUE? My dream was...REAL? You tried to turn me into....SOMBRA?!”

 

“Well yeah, sorry about that,” apologized Luna sincerely. “What’s concerning me right now though is that if you’re the real Fluttershy, and this is the fake Fluttershy, then where’s...”

 

The fake Fluttershy finally tore the duck tape off the other Fluttershy’s mouth, and he said some dialogue revealing him to be...Sky!

 

“Yeah, I was trying to tell you that he turned me back into part of my true form, Fluttershy*.” Sky explained the reveal.

*See the ending of Transcending Fluttershy’s Dark Sky for details

“...Okay, now even I’m having a hard time understanding-GAK!” Luna tried to express her opinion, but was punched in the stomach by the crying real Fluttershy. After a dramatic pause, Luna clutched her stomach in pain as Fluttershy turned back into Sombra.

 

“Understanding pain?” Sombra laughed as he seized the dark-blue orb that Luna hid in her uniform. “I don’t care if I gain some flack from your fans for that, it’s all in vain!”

 

This self-aware dialogue is confusing…” Sky commented as he put his hoof-thumb up to his lips. “Why is it not becoming less confusing even though I’m aware?”

 

Sky was given plenty of time to think that one over as Sombra engulfed him in shadow and disappeared.

 

“Shoot...” Luna gave the appropriate curse in reaction to her shortcomings. “He must have teleported to that castle he was talking about. I had a feeling he was only playing Big Rigs with Rarity to get back at her for stealing the ring…which means...”

 

Just as Luna suspected, the shadow that once surrounded Rarity disappeared, and she turned back into a normal robot alicorn.

 

“Having god powers, she’s probably already recovered from that crash she had as a truck and should regain consciousness soon.” Luna thought to herself. “Should I stay here and interrogate her about what the heck she’s been doing behind my back with Fluttershy, or should I go to Discord’s castle and ask him what the hell this duel is about?”

 

Meanwhile, at Canterlot castle…

 

Two guards who were identical in appearance to Discord were standing watch outside a door to the throne room. Inside the throne room, there was Fluttershy-esque decor galore. Pink and yellow-painted walls, windows depicting Fluttershy’s deeds, a pink, yellow, and of course red carpet, and a butterfly-shaped throne decorated with pink topaz and an insignia of a wingless butterfly piercing a heart sown onto the throne’s seat with Fluttershy-brand string. We couldn’t see that last part though because Discord’s butt was in the way.

 

“Gah, I can’t get this taste of soda off my tongue…” Discord bemoaned, sitting on his throne and gagging on a lollipop he wasn’t enjoying very much. “I hope Sombra gets back here soon…”

 

Soon, Sombra, with the Fluttershy form of Sky on his shoulders, materialized before him on the carpet.

 

“I have returned, Lord Master,” Sombra greeted as he bowed his head. “I have brought what you have requested of me to bring, and only wish I could’ve made it back here faster.”

 

“That’s fine, but would you please stop speaking in rhyme?” Discord requested as his head slanted to the right a bit. “You don’t have to treat everything you say like a rime. Also, you know you need to be Fluttershy for the upcoming fight, you can not be Sombra at this time.”

 

“Alright then,” said Sombra as he transformed into Fluttershy. “I know when-”

 

Sombra was interrupted when he allowed Fluttershy’s mind to take control.

 

“So what’s going on here?” Fluttershy asked. “Am I going to have to...fight Sky?”

 

“Yes,” replied Discord, “in a battle of wits...in a gamble.”

 

“We’re going to gamble...with our intelligence?” Fluttershy said in puzzlement. “Are we going to become stupid if we lose?”

 

“What a terrible fate that would be.” Sky lamented. “I hope we’re not going to be forced to play the lottery. All those losing tickets…”

 

“Not that kind of gambling…” Discord put his claw and paw on his face. “I mean a gamble that would require you to make a smart, educated guess in an exchange of sake cups.”

 

Discord did his magic and made a tray with two Fluttershy-sized sake cups on it appear on the floor. Both of them looked like Fluttershy in sake cup form and were filled with apple juice.

 

“Now time to explain the rules…” Discord prepared to elaborate. “One of these sake cups is filled with ordinary apple juice. The other is filled with apple juice mixed with a large amount of cough syrup and taurine. If you take it, I think you already know what will happen... Choose wisely, for only the winner shall take over my place as the ruler of Canterlot castle. Now then, who wants to be the one to choose?”

 

“I don’t,” said Sky, terrible things tend to happen when I make decisions on what I should drink.”

 

“Then I guess I’ll make the call…” Fluttershy announced as she walked up to the Fluttershy cup on the left. “I choose this one…”

 

“Thanks,” said Sky, feeling very relieved as he went up to the right Fluttershy cup. “I have nothing to fear now…”

 

“Of course you have nothing to fear…” Discord thought. “You’re too stupid to realize that the outcome of this game is predetermined. I already told Fluttershy which one would be the correct one in my own way while she was still Sombra. There’s no way I can lose…”

 

The two dipped their jaws inside the oversized cups and drank from them. When they were done drinking, Sky was fine, but Fluttershy clutched her throat and began to gag.

 

“Woah Fluttershy,” said Sky with concern as he walked over to Fluttershy. “Are you okay?”

 

“Bleh!” Fluttershy yelled. “It tastes like urine!”

 

“Ha ha ha ha!” Discord laughed. “Fluttershy guessed right! Congrats Fluttershy, you’re the win-”

 

But in mid-sentence, he was paused by Sky beginning to gag as well. His entire body got all shadow-like as he started transforming into King Sombra. And wouldn’t you know, the same thing started happening to Fluttershy as well!

 

“Wait...HUH?!” Discord let his ham out like a spearman shaking his treasure carelessly. “Why are you becoming Sombra? I put a drug in the right drink that would vitalize your body and mind, keeping Sombra suppressed! And that kid didn’t even consume the drug! I can not have Sombra lead this castle! If he can not be likened to my image, he must DIE!”

 

Just then, a smoke bomb was thrown in front of Discord’s throne, surrounding him with gas that was bad for his eyes. He couldn’t even see Rarity teleport in front of him, dressed as a ninja again. She took a scroll for reality bending spells out of her black ninja suit.

 

“Sorry, my fair fake Fluttershy,” said Rarity as she prepared her spell, “but I can’t have you going and making either of my two favorite idiots smart. I need the real Fluttershy to be Sombra for a large while longer. Reality Swap!”

 

With that, the fake Discord turned back into the fake Fluttershy from the real beginning of this story!

 

“Rarity, you fool…” the fraudulent Fluttershy haughtily derided the purple-haired ninja and her prose as she vanished along with the smoke. “I’m sure you know that I’m not just any fake Fluttershy...I AM…”

 

Robot Alicorn Fluttershy. That’s how her sentence was finished as she transformed into her robot alicorn self, fully equipped with warm and toasty robot armor, lasers, and living Fluttershy plushies on the robot armor.

 

“Brace yourselves…” Robot Alicorn Fluttershy said as she flew up to the air, embracing her chest. “The Tale of Two Sombras is OVER!!!”

 

R.A. Fluttershy opened her chest, and all the Fluttershy plushies went down to the two Sombras like guided missiles and exploded. The two Sombras avoided the explosion by teleporting behind R.A.F., and began chanting a poem…

 

The Tale of Two Sombras

 

The Tale of Two Sombras, we like that name

The Tale of Two Fluttershys, we’re no longer the same

The Tale of Two Mauds, she’s a bit too bland

The Tale of Two Discords, his room is Fluttershy-brand

The identity of Sombra, we shall not give up

The identity of Fluttershy, we shall surrender

The identity of Discord, you failed to live up

The identity of Maud, we will no longer offend her

 

While the poem was going on, R.A.F. was trying to shoot the Sombras with her Fluttershy Thompson gun and her alicorn lasers, but the Sombras had turned themselves into shadow and were not affected. And after their poem was finished, they merged together to form...a shadow paladin in shining armor mounting a celestial horse and holding a shadow spear and shield from the heavens.

 

“BY THE WAY, THE REASON WE ALWAYS RHYME AS SOMBRA...” the Sombra knight announced as he leaped in the air and began spinning. “...HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ZECORA!”

 

With that, the Sombra knight came down onto R.A.F., destroying her completely by causing her to explode into Fluttershy shaped crystals. The crystals fell onto the ground and broke into shards as the shadow paladin descended to the floor and turned back into Sky and Fluttershy.

 

“We did it…” Fluttershy said as she glanced at the scene. “We do have great power within us after all, just like Rarity and Luna…”

 

“I guess I suppose so…” Sky added as he glanced at Fluttershy. “Hey, you’re no longer in Sombra form.”

 

“Hey, you’re right.” Fluttershy replied as she looked at herself and Sky. “And you’re not in Sombra or Fluttershy form anymore. Did those drinks only have a temporary effect? Speaking of which, I’m not really sure how that worked…again.”

 

“Speaking of another which,” Sky changed the subject, “where did Rarity go? We couldn’t have gotten out of that mess if she hadn’t done whatever she did. We need to thank her.”

 

Before Fluttershy could agree to that, the Discord guards from earlier came in.

 

“Congratulations on your victory…” they sickly said sweetly.

 

“Hold on, who are you guys?” Fluttershy politely set the guards up for a proper greeting.

 

"We're magic clones of the Lord of Masters, Discord," they introduced, "sent to this world to spy on the fake Fluttershy Discord snuffed out. Discord learned that he wasn't the real Fluttershy after she didn't remember him, yet remembered Chrysalis and what Fluttershy had seen after her murder. BMS clones either remember all of the experiences of the original, or none of them."

 

"But if Discord knew that that Fluttershy was a fraud, why did he give him control of this castle?" Fluttershy asked.

 

"He pretended to give the fake Fluttershy control of this castle and authority over his most trusted subordinate,” they replied, “Sombra, under the guise of making him the guardian of this region's orb. The fake Fluttershy became suspicious that he was just being used though, and devised a plan to escape being hunted down by the IDPD and remove Discord's best lackey at the same time. We figured out his scheme to suppress Fluttershy's Sombra powers ahead of time however, and took immediate countermeasures."

 

“We’re magic clones of the Lord of Masters, Discord,” they introduced, “sent to this world to spy on the fake Fluttershy Discord snuffed out. You see, Discord pretended to give the fake Fluttershy control of this castle and authority over his most trusted subordinate, Sombra, under the guise of making him the guardian of this region’s orb. The fake Fluttershy became suspicious that he was just being used though, and devised a plan to escape being hunted down by the IDPD and remove Discord’s best lackey at the same time. We figured out his scheme to suppress Fluttershy’s Sombra powers ahead of time however, and took immediate countermeasures.”

 

“So Sombra was being deceived the entire time by that stupid offer…” Fluttershy realized, knowing Sombra’s thoughts and feeling foolish. “And I actually drank that Rockstar knock-off thinking it would make me powerful like Rarity and Luna…”

 

“So you switched the apple juices out for Sombra energy drinks,” Sky assumed correctly. “Thank you, that was really nice. But why did Discord send the impersonator here? If he realized he was a spy, why didn’t he just take care of him right then and there? Why go through all this trouble of making him an orb-carrier?”

 

“Heh heh…” the Discord guards replied. “We’re not going to tell you everything. What would be the fun in that? Besides, don’t you have other matters to attend to? Don’t you feel something is missing? Don’t you feel that as heroes, you deserve...a reward for your efforts?”

 

“Oh, that’s right, the orb.” Sky recalled. “Where is it? It wasn’t showing up on Luna’s map earlier either, did that fake Fluttershy do something to it?”

 

“Close…” the Discord guards said with a chuckle. “Master Discord did something to it. Why don’t you see for yourselves?”

 

The Discord guards levitated the only Fluttershy crystal shard that didn’t break and returned it to its original form...a glowing blue and yellow sphere encased in a tightly sealed jar.

 

“That’s right,” said the Discord guards as they held the jar, “I’m afraid you’re not going to get a clue from this orb just yet. Our Master Discord put a lock on this orb just in case it fell into the wrong hands or hooves. Specifically, Celestia’s. You’ll have to ask him to unlock it.”

 

“Wait…Celestia’s?” Sky asked. “Aren’t we gathering the orbs for Celestia so that we find out who murdered Chrysalis?”

 

“You truly are as oblivious as they come…” the Discord guards delivered. “Did it ever once cross your mind that Celestia has an ulterior motive? Or is even who she claims to be? Surely Fluttershy can help you see the truth...”

 

Sky turned to Fluttershy and noticed that she had a grim look on her face.

 

“Sky…” Fluttershy said as she lowered her head. “Now that I know that that dream I had was real...I’m starting to put two and two together. I think I know now the real reason we were sent here. And I also think I know now...who killed Chrysalis…”

 

Sky gulped in response, and hoped she didn’t…

 

“Well, here you go,” said the Discord guards casually as they handed over the jarred orb to Fluttershy and Sky. “As clones of the Master, our knowledge is linked. He should arrive here shortly...farewell.”

 

The Discord guards then vanished with a puff of smoke, and sure enough, Discord showed up in the castle walking tall.

 

“Oh my,” Discord swore by himself in such excitement, “you actually did it. You guys actually collected all of the orbs from this world!”

 

“All of them?” Fluttershy pondered. “But even counting the one I swiped from Luna, we should only have two.”

 

“Oh, don’t be so self-centered,” Discord gawked as he circled around Fluttershy. “I met Rarity and Luna in the portal room on my way here. They teleported back to return the orb they got from Maud Pie. There’s no more need for us to linger here. HI-HO!”

 

With a flick of his fingers, Discord teleported himself and the duo back to the portal room, where Rarity and a peculiar-looking Luna were waiting.

 

“Now then…” Discord said as Sky and Fluttershy gave him the jar-encased orb. “Since I don’t need this lock anymore, why don’t we end this part of our journey on a mysterious note?”

 

Discord held the jar with his paw, and shaping his claw into something that resembled a key, shattered the jar with a magic locksmith technique that almost looked like a punch. After that, Robot Alicorn Fluttershy’s spirit emerged from the orb.

 

“Thank you, Sky and Fluttershy,” said R.A.F. in a tranquil tone. “You saved-”

 

“I said a mysterious note!” Discord yelled as he pushed R.A.F.’s spirit back into the orb. “Not a satisfying note!”

 

Sorry…here’s the clue…

 

Yearning to reverse your fortune, you find a false hint.
