Sweetie ran up the stairs into her sister's room. She was relieved to find Rarity non-suspiciously standing in a dark corner that she couldn't help but ignore the banging on the roof.
"Hello Sweetie," it said in an unnatural tone. Sweetie was even happy happier than before. Her front hooves doing a little dance.
"MO-ErEOeoR-SISTER UNIT YOU ARE OK AND UNHARMED!" Sweetie said very happily.
"Yes, I am." Rarity stated. She wasn't moving and Sweetie was starting to notice.
"ARE YOU SURE YOU ARE OK RARITY? YOU ARE STANDING REALY-" Bang! Sweetie was shot in the ear. The bullet had managed to pierce her left ear. Sweetie was stunned. Not by the bullet, but by who shot it.
Apple Jack grinned from ear to ear. She was so glad Rarity's gun still worked. It was a gun specifically designed for the Robot Pony war, and she always kept it in case they returned.
Sweetie was shook. Her hooves quivering as she looked at her big sister for help that never came. After a few moments, a strange black liquid came down from the hole in her ear. Fuel. This was all the evidence Apple Jack needed to fire another round into her back.
"Apple Jack, we need her alive." Rarity said. Sweetie fell to the floor and turned her head up towards her sister. Only now did her sensors pick up the stench of cand. Something was wrong. Rarity would never let anything candy related into her room. Candy make's her figure bad. Before she could say anything, Apple Jack shot again.
"Apple Jack, if you shoot one more time, I will use drastic measures." Apple Jack looked up from Sweetie. Her brow angry and her lips smiling. She pointed the gun towards Rarity.
"I don't care anymore," she said. "I'm gonna kill this abomination, and now that I have a weapon and you don't, I'll kill yall too!" It didn't take long for a red piece of licorice to slither towards her. It wrapped around her front hoof that was holding the gun first before going around her whole body. 'Rarity' smiled. She finally had an excuse to kill this pathetic piece of life.
Apple Jack was lifted into the air and slammed against the walls. As this was happening, Rarity's body began to shift and morph in uncomfterble and unpleasing way's. Her body landed on a spider-like creature made entirely out of candy. The Candy mare was happy to finally have something to dig into. Apple Jack was thrown forcibly on the ground. The Candy mare lowered her head to the floor and opened her mouth. As she dragged Apple Jack into her gaping maw, a trail of Apple family blood was created to signify the trip. Sweetie saw it all, including what came next to cause such loud screams.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Twilight was looking for a way in when she heard Apple Jack's scream of terror and agonizing pain. Hearing this made her panic and begin hitting the windows. As The Doc stated, they would not budge or break. This was infuriating, another version of her friend was in trouble, and she could do nothing.
"Hay Twilight you don't look so good," said a familiar and peppy voice. Twilight almost jumped out of her skin hearing the pony speak. She turned slowly to see Pinkie pie standing behind her with a goofy smile. Well, shit.
"N-no... I... G-get aw-away from-" Pinkie put her hoof on Twilight's mouth.
"It's ok Twilight, I'm not the bad me! I'm the me me." She smiled proudly. Twilight was both relieved and confused by the statement. Pinkie lowered her hoof.
"What does that mean?" Twilight asked. Pinkie smiled.
"The spirits said you say that!~" She did a happy dance before turning towards the reader. "Psst, I know things are moving kinda slow, but that's why I'm here! I'm just gonna quickly speed things up and let her in. Oh, also spoiler alert about Apple Jack, even though she's dead, if you watched Friendship is Witch Craft you would know that doesn't mean gone!" Twilight didn't understand a word she said. Pinkie looked down at her self and went wide-eyed.
"Oh wait! silly me, I wanted to dress up since there where other Pinkies, hold on."Pinkie said.
In between paragraphs, Pinkie got changed into a Gypsie outfit she saw in some fan art once.
Twilight was almost Stunde at how fast she got dressed.
"Anyways, we just gotta get you in here first, then I'll go help the suckers on the roof! Hold on" Pinkie said as she lifted Twilight.

"Pinkie let me down!" Twilight yelled. Noone, not even Pinkie, paid any attention.

"Hold on Twilight, where just waiting~," Pinkie said.

"For... what?"

A chunk of the wall started to disintegrate into nothingness. Twilight stared in aww.
"Oh, you made the wall vanished right-Gah" Twilight said as she was thrown into the shop.
"Nope," Pinkie said. "Reality is collapsing. I was just counting down until the wall stopped existing. Anyways, you better get out of her with Sweetie before everything turns into a void. I'm gonna exit through my own measures. Seeya~" And just like that Pinkie was- "Oh, almost forgot to help The Doc!" Pinkie said as she vanished between words.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Doc and Dashie where hitting the roof with both, all there might and big metal rod they found.
"Bloody  "H E C K" this stupid roof is indestructible!" Dashie was panting. She was out of breath form how much works was required to even make a scratch. 
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH IT HURTS OH GOD HELP ME AAAHHHHHHHHHH" Was the screech they heard from inside the shop. It was Apple Jack's voice. She was in trouble.
"This ain't good, right Doc?" Dashie said, a bit shaken up by the sudden loud noise. "Doc? You ok?" The Doc was hyperventilating on the other side of the mare into a paper bag he just so happened to have. He lowered the bag as soon as he noticed her looking at him.
"I'm fine... I just need a b-break..." He said as he sat on the roof.
"A break? Doc, a break is for the week! At The Rainbow Factory, we only take breaks when we go home for the night and are no longer able to work. We can work now maggot! This is an-"
"Sorry to cut you off," said Pinkie as she walked up the side of the building. The Doc and Dashie stared at her with concern a confusion. "Sorry, forgot I just came up here to get dressed into a Gypsie outfit whilst I help Twilight~," She said. "Time's a bit wonky in our reality, so I decided to get changed in a different section of the story so she doesn't see me."
"What the "This joke is dead and I killed it"." Before he could say anything else, Pinkie was gone.
"What just..." Dash said before noticing her walking back up the other side of the building.
"Ok, Almost forgot~" She said with a smile.

Twilight ran up the stairs. She had checked around the bottom floor for too long when she saw blood dripping down the stairs. When she got to the top, her eyes widened with complete horror. The upper part of Apple Jack's body was being held upon the empty door frame, organs hanging down dripping the blood from before. Twilight held the urge to barf. She walked under the body and towards the white filly lying down on the ground.
"Sweetie? Sweetie! Sweetie, please wake up," She said in a care-filled whisper. It was no use, Sweetie was powered off to keep from more fuel from coming out her body. Twilight looked around the room. She and sweetie were the only ones there. After a few moments, it finally caught up to Twilight that something had to kill Apple Jack and Tie her up.
When Twilight turned around she noticed the thick red strings tied to her former farming friend. Oh no. The strings let go of Apple JAcks body and she fell to the ground. They then slithered up the walls like snakes. Whet Twilight saw next almost made her scream: The Candy mare had spread her body open and used it to cover half the roof. Dangling from her mouth was one of Apple Jack's legs, which was quickly slurped up and chewed in a matter of seconds. Twilight tried to pick up Sweetie and run, but it was too late. The Candy mare slammed down on top of Twilight, her organs staining the mares purple coat. Twilight finally let out a loud scream. The Candy mare laughed at her fear. She would have taunted her longer, but she was hungry.
What neither of the two noticed at first, was the roof turning to dust, and a Pink mare holing up two pegasi. After Twilight noticed in the corner of her eye, she screamed.
"Doctor!!" She yelled. The Candy mare turned her head a full one-eighty just in time to see The Doc and Dashie being hurled into the room. Dashie fell into a corner, whilst The Doc slammed hard into The Candy mares head.
"Hey Doc!" Pinkie yelled, "I gotta warn you about your blo-" She stopped her self from spoiling something to the viewer. "Ops, sorry. I'll go now! See you all in a future chapter where you'll need me~" Pinkie said before leaving.
The Candy mare wasted no time at all and stuffed one of The Doc's wings in her mouth and bit down hard. She wouldn't let him leave this time. To no one's surprise, The Doc screamed due to the pain and blood loss.
"Hay Queen of diabetes!" Dashie yelled as she ran towards The Candy mare. The mare let go of The Doc's wing and swung its self in an extremely unnatural way in the direction of Dashie, only to have her eyes sliced by a bit of glass Dashie broke off of Rarity's mirror. When The Candy mare scrambled to fix its eyes, Dashie grabbed Twilight, Sweetie, and The Doc and flew out of the building.
The Candy mare's eyes began to heal. As she looked up towards her prey and smiled. She was so busy planning to kill them next time, that she didn't notice her back right hoof turning a tinny bit darker in color.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Everyone was safely back inside The TARDIS. Dashie was fixing Sweetie, Twilight went into a show to clean her self, and The Doc was talking to Ananta. Of course, only he could see her, so he looked absolutely crazy talking to an hourglass.
Sweetie began to power up and was very happy to see Dashie, but less so when she didn't see her sister.
"RAINBOW?" She asked. Dashie stared at her with blank eyes. Her expression told the filly that whatever her question was, she didn't want an answer. Sweetie then looked at The Doc at the back of the control room and tilted her head.
"WHY IS THE DOCTOR TALKING TO A CLOCK?" Dashie stared a bit longer before letting out a giggle. Ya, she needed that comment right now.
"He says there The TARDIS or something? I don't know, he's just crazy." She patted Sweetie on the head. Sweetie jumped off the table and looked around the new environment.
After two hours, Twilight emerged from the shower. Both luckily and suspiciously, The Doc had a shampoo for the blood of many kinds. The reason it took so long was that she couldn't read the bottles.
"Okay, now that everyone is here I can tell you all my plan. Huddle up!" The Doc said in a general like voice. Everypony went around him to hear what he had to say. "After talking to Ananta, we decided that the best plan of action right now is to either stay in The TARDIS, or go into another world, and due to past experience, I don't think we're gonna vote to stay. We figured out that Pinkamina and her gang are targeting older timelines. She went to mine, then she went to her own, and finally, she was last seen in Sweeties." The Doc grinned. "So the best course of action would be to go into a new timeline as it formes!" Twilight was thinking of a counter plan but decided to agree with The Doc, Dashie didn't care too much as long as she wasn't tied back up, and Sweetie was just happy to be there. 
"Great it's settled," He said. "ARIIB-A!"

Surprise was looking at some papers with names on them. Some had flags taped on, whilst others had just the names. She looked out the window of The Rainbow factories lost ship, (The Borealis), and sighed. She was bord waiting for everyone to return to the ship... She decided their next stop should be somewhere fun.
"Let's see," She said with a tired grin. "Past Sins? Naw to sad... My little Dashie? Still sad... Elements of Insanity?  Close, but too unpredictable... Oh, The Elements of Insanity are next to Pony Fortress..."
She kept looking at her words. She would never be able to decide who to recruit to her ship at this rate. Maby first mate Pinkamina could help...
