//------------------------------// // Timeline from Thora's death to Chapter 2 (Part 2) (Part 1) // Story: Changeling Quest // by GleamingKyler111 //------------------------------// Before rebirth... The unnamed main character wakes up in a white void with only a button labeled 'Reincarnate', which he obviously wanted to do. A slot machine with only one slot then appears and spins, it eventually lands on Changeling while the main character is still trying to remember what was so familiar about the species. An unknown POV, that is definitely not Discord, chuckles about how much chaos the main character would cause. 5 years before Thora is sent to Ponyville... The unnamed main character finds himself stuck in an egg and eventually gets out. That is when he first sees the system, which calls him User #4835761. After seeing his status, he realizes what was so familiar, he was in MLP:FIM. Then, Chrysalis walks in and names the main character Thora. 4 years later, Thora... 1 year later, Thora is sent to Ponyville as an Infiltrator. Nothing could stop his plan of what he was going to do, nothing except SV_Virus.exe hacking the system. He sees the system message and complains. Chapter 2 (Part 1) RookDeSuit adds secret emergency supply caches all over the world for Changelings, gives the Gryphon Kingdom advances into space flight, and something stirs in the Deep, something hostile. Thora noted that the last one sounds ominous, though he had been worried it would be worse. ARE YOU SURE? He turns into his definitely original disguise, named Quartz Dart, which looks like Crystal Hoof as a Pegasus. He also came up with a backstory that he did not have to lie about. He walks into Ponyville to try to find Sugarcube Corner, he instead finds a certain pink party pony. Pinkie and the Author have a meta conversation. Thora meets Pinkie Pie and tells her his disguise name. Pinkie Pie introduces herself. Thora acts like he is remembering her name and asks if she plans parties and, if so, to delay his Welcome to Ponyville surprise party. She says yes and questions how he knows about the surprise party. He answers that he heard that she does it for everyone that is new in Ponyville. She accepts it and leaves to start planning a party. Thora became so happy that nothing could ruin his mood, except FimFiction_Virus.exe hacking the system. He complains again. Chapter 2 (Part 1.5) (FanOfSun gives Thora a clock that can pause time for up to ? seconds with a cooldown of (seconds paused * 60) with a piece of paper attached that explains it. origami gives Thora a passive ability that makes elaborate lies more believable depending on how elaborate they are. Derpynuke gives an active ability that gives him the ability to split from the current timeline to a different timeline or go back to the original while continuing on one without having been moving forward in time in the other timeline or timelines. Thora puts the clock with paper attached into the Inventory that he definitely had already. Because, what sort of system wouldn't have an Inventory? The Author agrees, then realizes something. Thora checks his passive ability, Big Fish Story, and notes that though it is great, it probably won't work on Applejack. Then, he hears Twilight say that the fate of Equestria does not rest on her making friends, causing him to snort. He continues watching her from out of sight, deciding to check the active ability later. He watches til Spike sighs after Twilight says sarcastically, "Well, that was interesting all right." He walks to somewhere else in Ponyville, then he checks the active ability, Timeline Split. He notes that it is an amazing ability, and decides that he should probably find a safe place to do that. He contemplates where he should use it he should use it, and decides to head to Fluttershy's place because she is practicing for the Summer Sun Celebration. He transforms into a bird and flies toward Fluttershy's house. Chapter 2 (Part 1.75) On the way to the house, a weird thought came to his mind that caused him to go on a rant that lasted til he was there. He uses the Timeline Split ability to split the timeline into CQ-1a and CQ-1b. When nothing seemed to happen, he checked the ability to find out that it had worked and he was now in CQ-1b. He noticed that the sun was setting and heads to Twilight's Welcome to Ponyville surprise party as a bird. He flew into a bush nearby the library, transformed back into his pony disguise, watched Twilight lie to Fluttershy about Spike being very tired, and Twilight closing the door in Fluttershy's face, which upset him. After waiting for Fluttershy to fly into the library, and calming down, he headed inside. He asked Pinkie Pie if he was late, to which she responded that he was right on time. A while later, he was super full and noticed that it was time to watch the sun rise, and felt like he should fly to the town hall, still a Pegasus, but decided not to since the Mane 6 were going to stop NMM, whether he went with or not. It's not like it would matter... right?
