To understand what I’m about to tell you, you need to do something first.
You need to believe in the impossible? Can you do that? That's very good then.
My name is Barry Allen, and I am the fastest man alive.
Up until recently I had believed that there was only one earth, but due to a breach in Central City called the rift a portal has been permanently opened to all the other earths. And while the efforts of my friends have been quite successful in their tests and experiments at closing all the breaches off, the way and door there still can be opened. And there is so much about the speed force that I still don’t know and understand, like for instance, can my speed open a breach to another earth? Zoom’s speed could, and now I can run faster than him, and even though he and the Reverse Flash have been defeated, the memories that I have of them, their words, their actions, they still haunt me.
Anyhow a lot has happened in my life recently that has made me question the very laws and reality of physics, gravity, electricity, the forces of nature, and the universe itself. My world has been turned upside down (not literally, or at least not yet anyhow), and everything that I thought I knew is now gone.
My very perception and ideas and thoughts and dreams and fears about this world and universe just got a whole lot bigger with the problem of breaches.
Anyhow that’s just a brief summary of what’s happened to me, to really tell it all would take like Two Seasons of a very popular TV show about me.
Anyhow that’s not the real point or story, that happens after I just started running one day to see how fast I could go, and everything was fine, the labs were working, my friends could hear me through my head set wire, my vitals and breathing were fine, the air was cool, and Central City was safe once more again, but something must have been off that day, or I wouldn’t have jumped, or to be more accurate, ran across different worlds through the breaches.
It was just another regular day in Central City, Barry (or ‘The Flash’ according to the city,) had saved the day, the air was cool, and everything was fine and normal, but something must have been off that day because it would not have happened otherwise. Barry was running to test his speed when it happened.
He was running across Central City back and forth and he finally asked Cisco the important question, “How am I doing Cisco? Am I doing all right?”
“You’re doing better than all right man, you’re going faster than you’ve ever gone or been before man, faster than I have seen” Cisco said.
“That’s great,” Barry said, “And that’s also nice to know.”
“Hey man, while you’re out there, mind picking up some pizza for us?”
“Sure thing Cisco, I’ll make sure to get some pizza for you guys.”
With that said Barry turned around to get the best pizza there was, but back at STAR Labs there was something strange and odd suddenly happening.
As Barry ran to get some pizza Cisco’s coffee started to float as it did around the Reverse Flash, or to be more accurate, around Tachyons, faster than light particles, “Barry, something very strange and odd and unusual is happening back here, and you might want to come back to see it” Cisco said in a panic.
“What is it Cisco?” Barry asked.
“It’s my coffee, it’s floating in midair.”
With that being said only silence came from the other end from Barry, neither of them needed to speak any words to know how important and how impossible this was, but the impossible was becoming normal for them in Central City.
Both were shocked (and both remained completely silent) at this new development and discovery, and for a moment it almost seemed like the world stood at a frozen point in time, or rather came to a standstill, for both of them.
“Hold on,” Barry said after what seemed like a long moment, “I’m coming back.”
Barry turned around and he saw the red dot on his screen that represented Barry run fast towards STAR Labs, but Barry never got to STAR Labs that day.
As he was running towards them his red dot suddenly disappeared as well as his vitals, and his communication lines were done, Barry had vanished, or rather disappeared into thin air, almost like a magician, Cisco thought, but then he scolded himself, this is no time to be making jokes, he thought again.
I have to find Barry, he thought, but it was no use, there was nothing on the screens, everything connected to Barry all read one fatal word, ERROR.
Now he was in a panic, he didn’t know what to do, but he was a man with a genius I.Q. if anyone would know what to do in a situation like this it should be him, but despite all his intelligence and experience, he just couldn’t think.
And he tried to think of anything to fix or solve this, but he couldn’t, his mind was completely blank, empty, and baffled by this mystery and puzzle.
The only thing that he could think of to do was to call Caitlin, she hadn’t been there when it happened, so it would probably be hard to explain it to her.
He hopped onto the system’s communications lines (which were still working,) because she was working in the labs somewhere else (she was almost always working in the labs on something important,) and he called her out on the line.
“Caitlin,” he said, “You better come up here, something strange and odd and unusual just happened, and it’s really very important, so just get and come up here as quickly as you can and stop whatever thing that you’re working on right now, because whatever it is, it can wait, this concerns Barry, Caitlin.”
With that said Caitlin quickly dropped what she was working on (because Cisco could still see her on the system cameras hidden inside and outside the building they were in,) and she quickly came up to where their base was.
“Cisco, what is it, what’s wrong?” she asked.
“Well it’s rather hard to explain, but I’ll do my best, you know how Barry likes to run around the city to see how fast he can get?” Cisco asked.
Caitlin was about to answer the question, but he interrupted her first.
“Never mind that, ignore that question, anyhow he was running faster than he ever has before, faster than I’ve ever seen him, but that was when the strange mysterious, odd, and unusual thing happened, my coffee floated in midair.”
“How is that even possible?” she asked with shock, “We have anything that contains traces of Tachyons in safe places under lock and key, and both Zoom and the Reverse Flash are no longer threats, so how is any of this possible?”
“That’s the question of the day sister, the question we all ask whenever something we don’t fully understand comes our way, and when it does, it always seems to be looking for trouble, anyhow whatever happened is gone now because my coffee is all over the desk now,” he said pointing at the mess, “But anyhow, I’m not upset at that, not at all, what does concern me now is what happened to Barry, everything was fine about him before he was gone.”
“What do you mean by gone Cisco?”
“I mean gone, like vanished into thin air gone, like a magician would do.
But this is no magic trick or act, this is real Caitlin, and this isn’t a joke.
Wherever Barry is right now, whatever he might be facing, we can’t help him; he’s all alone with no one else by his side, and who knows where he is or what he is facing, he went to another earth Caitlin, another breach must have opened, and I don’t know how or why, but I do know this one thing for sure.
Whatever it takes to find him and bring him back home, we’ll do it, no matter what it takes for us to do it and not alone either, but together, as a team.”
And with that said Caitlin nodded her agreement and Cisco went over to the screens still flashing out their one single solitary message of ‘ERROR’.
“Whatever it takes Barry,” he said to the screen which had Barry’s name on it, “We’ll do it, no matter what it takes, or how long it takes, or whatever the price might be for us, you’re going to come home Barry, I can promise you that.”
Meanwhile…
Barry was in a panic when he heard Cisco about the coffee floating in midair.
And because he was in that emotional state he never even noticed the breach that he created to another world, it wasn’t until he saw small cottage homes and grass and other rural landscapes that he stopped to look around.
He didn’t know where he was, it was like nothing he had seen on Earth, even the rural parts of his planet weren’t like this, and that’s when he drew the only logical conclusion that he must be on a completely different Earth instead.
“Where am I?” he said out loud as he looked around at his strange new surroundings and area, it was like nothing he had ever seen before.
That was when he saw the pony come up to him and then talk to him.
“Hello stranger, welcome to Ponyville! I hope you like it here.”
But Barry didn’t hear anything else due to the fact that he passed out.
