Prologue
[Canterlot, two days after the capture of Starlight Glimmer, Summer]
Princess Celestia shifted in her throne letting out a sigh as she finished explaining what she had been told by Velkorn. The Zebra mare had not explained much, only informing her that the real meaning of the prophecy had not yet begun.
In attendance for the explanation were, Princess Luna, Twilight, Rahs, and Spike Sparkle, Guard Captain Moskau of the Six Sixty Sixth, Guard Captain Mustang of the Royal Guard, Guard Captain Astral Path of the Night Guard, Guard Captain Comet Trail of the Ponyville Guard, Captain Spitfire of the Wonderbolts, Grand Mage Strawberry Snap, and of course an assorted gathering of nobles who claimed to be too important to miss this event. Posh Posh of the Posh family however had opted to miss this one, although Princess Celestia had restored his families title after a few days of him whining about it when she returned, he was keeping his head down and not demanding anything at the moment. He was also likely trying to recover from all the back taxes he had to pay before Celestia would restore the family title.
“So where is she now? I would like a word.” Twilight asked.
“Velkorn distracted my sister by paying back the bits she owed her and then vaulted out a window.” Princess Luna added to the conversation with a yawn. ”We saw the damage.”
Celestia glared at her sister.
“Needless to say we all need to keep our eyes out for what the prophecy really means then. “ Princess Celestia offered. “The only thing that she confirmed was that we were right about you three being in the middle of it all.”
“Of course.” Spike sighed.” And just after we think we finished it, now it's not even started.”
“That is how it works. Though to segue a little with that comment Spike. What is this I hear about Applejack's parents returning thanks to you?”
The Sparkles blinked at the Princesses tone glancing to each other for a moment before Rahs spoke up.
“Woof.” Rahs shrugged making Celestia frown at the explanation giver.
Celestia narrowed her eyes while Luna's widened.
“You jest? You pulled then from their demise to the present?!” Luna gaped. Celestia turned to look at her sister before her attention turned back to the Sparkles.
“You didn't....”Princess Celestia frowned at the lack of a response, ignoring the muttering of the Nobles. “Twilight as we explained quite often to Minuette, and the rest of you during your schooling with me, time travel is not something you should play with.”
“We were hardly playing with it, I'll have to write something up to explain everything, but it was in response to an attack.” Twilight offered.
“And bringing the Apples forward in time?”Celestia asked. “Did this have to do with the attack?”
“Uhhhhh.” Twilight offered.
“Twilight time travel is dangerous ...” Celestia began to lecture.
“Please. I understand the concepts and possibilities better than most any one save White, whom I might add did not show up to stop us from bringing the Apples here.” Twilight interrupted.
“White is hardly some one we consider to have good judgment...” Luna sighed. “The Vorpal Horde springs to mind. It took decades to fix that.”
“Yeah well even if you don't trust White, you should trust me.” Twilight began.” I mean if I did something really bad, I would have come back and stopped myself from....”
There was a flash of light in the room and suddenly there were two sets of Sparkles.
“TWILIGHT!!” The new Twilight Sparkle shouted as her Spike and Rahs looked around curiously. “You have to stop, You cannot under any circumstances....”
There was another flash of light and another set of Sparkles appeared, this Rahs wearing a green coat rather than his usual gray one.
“TWILIGHT!!” The third yelled at the second.” You have to stop, you can't tell me about …..”
There was another flash, this time it was Rahs, Twilight, and Sunset in the group.
“TWILIGHT hold up.” Sunset snapped. “This...”
Another flash of light and another group of Sparkles appeared along with a confused looking Tempest.
Another flash happened before they could speak this time showing Twilight with Sweetiebelle, Scootaloo, and Applebloom, all without a cutie mark which made Spitfire pale.
Another flash and it was the three main Sparkles though Rahs was a pony, Twilight a dragon, and Spike as himself.
Another flash and Aria, Twilight as a Sea Pony, and Rahs as a shark sort of, flopped there.
Another flash and four Trixie's one with Twilight Sparkle's hair cut and cutie mark stood there.
Another flash and Tempest, Big Mac, and Twilight appeared.
Another flash showed four Spikes.
A female Rahs and Jynx with a male Twilight.
Twilight and Sunset with a female Spike.
A male Twilight alone.
Three Twilight's one of each gender and a third female who was the only alicorn.
A Twilight with six sets of wings, countless eyes and whirling shapes who opened with 'Be not afraid', rather than stop.
The flashes of light continued, with more and more variations of the Sparkles and their friends filling the throne room, each of them seeming to be trying to stop the one that came before them.
All the Guards looked pale. Luna's jaw was closer to the floor than her nose. The gathered nobles had either run off screaming, fainted, wet themselves, or in one strange case, all three.
Princess Celestia stared wide eyed as more and more Sparkles appeared in the room, some flying , some Nox-cal, some dragons, a few looking exactly the same as the three before her.
Celestia's gaze shifted back to the original three her ears flat to her head.
Spike was looking around in awe.
“I've never had pains like this before! Oh, this is the worse one I've ever had, son! Oh, it's the worst one! This is the big one! I'm dying! You hear that, Elizabeth! I'm coming to join you, honey!”
Rahs theatrically slapped his chest as if the shock was giving him a heart attack.
No one was really paying attention to him save several of the other Rahs' that appeared who were clapping.
Celestia's eyes narrowed as they fell on Twilight.
And more importantly the barely hidden smirk and twitching of her body as she tried to contain her amusement at the situation.
Celestia frowned further as another noble collapsed to the floor with a thud.
“So the student has decided to challenge the teacher.” Princess Celestia stated as Twilight met her gaze.
“I have no idea what you are talking about.” Twilight badly lied.
“ I don't believe that for an instant.”Celestia stated. “Pranking me? Of course you know... this means war.”
The Sparkles all looked at each other then back at Celestia.
“I think we can take you.” Twilight stated.
Princess Celestia just grinned.
