Four years ago Vinyl and Octavia broke up. It was messy, painful and left scars on both of them. Four years on, now one of the most successful DJs in Equestria’s history, Vinyl receives news that Octavia has been in a terrible accident. The doctors say she may never recover from her coma, but Vinyl refuses to believe them. There are all sorts of stories about coma patients who are brought back by the voice of someone they care about, right? No matter what anypony else says, offers or threatens, and no matter what it costs her personally or professionally, she is determined to stay by Octavia’s side and do all she can to wake her.

But four years is a long time, and no matter how many fairytales end with the princess waking up, real life owes no-one a happy ending.

This is a tale of ponies. And explosions. And The Doctor, who goes on an Equestrian adventure with his worthless companion, Mister Spock. Oh, and something about Star Destroyers and Chainsaw-lightsaber hybrids, also.

Expect randomness. And death. With hyper-realistic blood. Do NOT expect "compelling" or "realistic" characters. They don't exist.

John Marston did all he could. He made sure his family was safe before making sure that the federal agents sent to kill got what they wanted. He opens the barn door, and embraces death.
John wakes up in a field, "Am I dead?', he asks himself. This is not where he made his last stand. He notices bullet wounds in his chest before passing out...

Character and Category changes will happen when needed. Cursing will occur when appropriate. Like when you get stabbed. Who wouldn't curse if they got stabbed?
