This story is a sequel to Daring Do and the Journey to the Center of the Earth


...And by sequel, we mean it has barely anything to do with that story, except for one scene that will make absolutely no sense if you haven’t read that.

The dreams of Equestria are under attack, again—this time, not from the Tantabus, but a demon from another universe masquerading as the Tantabus! Princess Luna, defender of the dream realm, leaps into action. She finds unexpected help from a wall-eyed pegasus with dreamwalking powers, and a brave knight straight out of Ogres & Oubliettes—and she enlists two members of the Time Patrol as her mission support. Luna’s dream team pursues the demon across the ever-shifting, incoherent landscape of ponykind’s subconscious: giant robot fights, game shows, volcanoes, that high school from the freaky human universe, Princess Luna’s own memories… Um… What were we talking about again? I feel like I’m forgetting something important.


Yet another exquisite corpse, again set in the same 'verse as all our other stories. One of these days, we'll write a story that's so self-referential, even we don't get it... but this is not that day! Crossover tag because familiarity with Dragon Ball, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, Pacific Rim, and Homestuck may be helpful. Or they may not be helpful, since half of the writers on this fic haven’t watched those, either.

To anyone wondering about the alien's gibberish: it's a cryptogram.

The alien tilted its head before replying to the princess. “You, relative of Sunny Skies, do you know the whereabouts of the one known as Bill?

Trunks and Eventide looked at each other confused by the odd language, but Princess Luna was able to understand the alien’s word. “We don’t believe we’ve seen a Bill anywhere, but I am trying to look for a demon god. Would he be one?”

The alien shook their head. “No, Bill is a powerful demon, but is no god. He enslaved our race and made us invade your planet, but a group of people from another universe has stopped him I believe. Our people still feel his presence though, so be careful. If Bill were to team up with the demon god you know, it could mean the end of the multiverse.

“We see. We’ll be on the look out for Bill as well then. You contact us if you see the Tantabus anywhere nearby. It looks like a large, mist-like figure of darkness. If that’s near, so is the demon god.”

The alien shivered at the description. “Oh damn, now our people have to deal with 3 powerful entities. I will contact back if I see anything. Oh, also tell your two friends I can see them with my super-telepathy.

Google translate, so this may be off:

"God, I thought they would never leave," said the red panda in the blue business skirt, switching the machine back on and loading up a Pontera track. "AAAAAAAA GO BE ALL LOVEY-DOVEY IN YOUR OWN PLACE!"

And the alien's last line is Atbash.

The alien looked upward as a giant X-shaped portal opened up. “Say hello to Bill for me!” The alien then hurled Dumplin into the portal and closed it quickly enough so that he wouldn’t escape.
