"No time for goodbye," he said as he faded away. "Don't put your life in someone's hands; they're bound to steal it away. Don't hide your mistakes, 'cause they'll find you, burn you."

This story is a sequel to The Chaos Within


One thousand years. For 1000 years, Dex stood as a statue within Canterlot Castle's gardens. After all that time, he finally gets released, but as he learns of what he lost, he finds that his actions have consequences.

Oh, what if's.....
I am afraid you will never know Dex, and the only thing you can do is move forward :fluttershysad:

On another note, awesome start to a great tale! :rainbowkiss:

i would rather you just post it all now

The final story and a great start now I can't wait for more:pinkiehappy:

Hell yeah! Faved, and all that stuff. Keep going.

another great story Yay:yay:

Yes! A part three! I really do hate it when a story ends :fluttershysad: but your doing a great job keeping this one alive and well :twilightsmile: so keep uo the great work! i mean..if its ok with you...:fluttershysad:

I just read EVERYTHING.:pinkiecrazy:

O.O
:pinkiegasp:DISPATCH THE TIME WORMS!!!:pinkiegasp:

No Marty.. you will create a time paradox....wait wrong movie.:pinkiecrazy:

I was hoping Dex would use the mirror sooner or later. :pinkiehappy:

Oh, Dex, you should have used a Delorean, if you wanted to make time travel easier :rainbowlaugh:

Time worm? Sounds like something out of a Doctor Who episode.

Well that was a sudden tragic end.

Something tells me that this is not the end, only the beginning.
It's gonna be awesome! :rainbowkiss:

Heh, Reset time, Dex!

You are now back to lvl 1! :rainbowlaugh:

Hm, I wonder what his cutie mark *cough* emblem *cough* will look like, or if he will even have one. Or even how he will look like?
Maybe some shield icon? :rainbowhuh:

I could spoil this for you so easily, I was one of the prereader-esque people. But, partially out of respect for Staple and partially to drive you slightly insane (join the club :pinkiecrazy:) I won't.

1020528

Gah! you lucky bastard! :flutterrage:

But yeah, don't tell me, I love the anticipation of discovering what will happen to our hero :pinkiehappy:

And don't worry, i've gone over the edge a long time ago moahahahahahah! :pinkiecrazy:

Well at least this human-turned-pony story justifies it.

Heh, that is either the worst, or best start, when Pinkie finds one after being transformed into a pony! :rainbowlaugh:

I can't wait to see how this turns out. :rainbowhuh:
Wonder if he will try to find Riches as soon as possible, to make sure she will be safe, since we remember how her life used to be before he found her in the previous reality.

You have died.
you would like to continue?

:scootangel: x 3

press the any key to continue.

1024722
*Homer voice* Where's the any key!!!!!!?? :derpytongue2: :rainbowlaugh:

1025031
Lol I was hoping someone would say that. :pinkiesmile:

Yay, Riches! :yay:

Ah, its nice to see that somethings atleast seem to go his way after that reset.

Although, I gotta say that mare with the moneybag was a bit to much of a coincidence, hmmm? :trixieshiftright:
Sounds to me like one of the Titans, (most likely harmony) is making things fall into place for him.
But, I wonder how long his good fortune will keep on going.....

horay more stuff to read :twilightsmile:

oh this is gonna be good

Ah, Riches, you smart little filly you. So cuuuuute!

And on another note; AHA! I knew it! Harmony was stacking the deck in Dex's favor!
Hm, I wonder if ChAoS won't show up later, to cause a bit of mayhem, as payback for destroying his champion maybe? :rainbowhuh:

1029392

Discord is back. The universe was reset, so he's just stone again. What payback could there be? I mean, 'it never happened' and such... Harmony isn't stacking the deck in his favor, she's just watching him... I mean, ponies can be nice! Maybe that pony really did just want to help him out? ... ... ... ...You're not buying it, are you?

Also, you REALLY want something bad to happen to Dex, don't you? What did he ever do to you?!

1029465
Hehe, yeah, it does sound like im out for Dex's blood, isn't it? :twilightblush:
But, actually, it's just that I like it when a well written protagonist has to overcome obstacles in his life, and further develop his character through that.
And yeah, I know, Discord was reset aswell. But, since Harmony is already meddling in things, why wouldn't the other Titans? Especially since it seems that Dex has become their latest entertainment, atleast that is what I seem to be getting, when I read Harmonies replies to Dex. :trollestia:

And on another note, I am pretty sure I know how Dex is going to get an audience with the princess *cough* Stone *cough*. Oh sorry, I think I got something stuck in my throat there :trollestia::pinkiehappy:

But, as always, can't wait to read what will continue to happen in the life of Dex! :twilightsmile:

1029567

Well too bad, this is the ending. Everything goes right in the ending.

Except when it doesn't...

1029583
Gah! No, N64Fan, be silent of your omni knowledge! Do not tell me the meaning of life, the universe and everything! :pinkiegasp:

1029602

TOO BAD, I TELL YOU ANYWAY!

FORTY TWO

1029611
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO*gasp* OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :pinkiegasp::pinkiegasp:

another excilent chapter, my good man :moustache:

Congrats on the Feature(as I write this anyway). This story shows promise. I'll be reading along. :pinkiehappy:

1032782

Thanks, and I think you stare at that box just to be the first to tell me. :twilightsmile:

1032791
Perhaps. Then again, I write best at the night so maybe its just luck. :pinkiecrazy:

Eh, sorry, you lost me at the turn into a pony thing. Would've rather seen him become a champion of chaos to spice things up, but oh well. Your story, can't tell ya how to run it.

1029614

If you do that again I will be forced to say Ni to you.

1032794

Oh man, I totally forgot you finished "Running Late"! I've watched you so I can keep up on your new stuff now. :twilightsmile:

This is a great story. But now I have to read the other stories so I can understand.
:rainbowlaugh:
(exasperated sigh)

I thought I remember reading earlier that there was a punishment for Dex telling others about the 'universal reset' and all?

*presses Universal Reset Button again*:trollestia:

1032827
Heh, atleast you won't force me to build you a shrubbery.
Btw, do you know the speed of an unladen swallow? :derpytongue2:

On another note: Hm, seems that was really a bit easy for Dex, but then again, Celestia was informed by Order......
Wait...if the Titans inform their "chosen one's", then that means that ChAoS would inform....Oh, this is going to be good! *Sits back with a bucket of popcorn* :pinkiehappy:

*sits quietly with an unidentifiable facial expression*
