//------------------------------// // We need a do-over! // Story: My Little Homie // by Lock Target //------------------------------// Hello, everypony, it is with a heavy heart to inform you that this is where (This version of) My Little Homie must come to an end. But, worry not, I plan to make a fresh start with a "Do-Over" Version soon. This one just got a little too convoluted and due to not working on it for a while, I forgot where I left off in the previous chapter. With that said, here's how the rest of this version would've played out (This is gonna be quite a read, so brace yourselves): Once everyone in the Aquabats' Rogues Gallery were captured and the cataclysm of the future seemingly averted, a rainstorm arrives revealing Future Fluttershy to not be corrupted by Future Discord (Keep in mind this version took place before his reformation), but it was an elaborate ruse devised by Future Twilight who caused an accident that resulted in the conditions of Future Angel, Future EagleBones and Future Ricky who were all sworn into secrecy over it. As the Teenage Future Spike transforms to normal, Cammat Bendcrom reveals himself to be the real Future Commander with his "Friend in the box" revealed to be Future Crash who fell asleep from boredom. The "Future Commander" with our heroes was just a sophisticated puppet voiced by him through the Bendcrom helmet which flashed every time he spoke through it. Oddly, Future Jimmy had forgotten all of this which reminds the Present Commander of the Floppy Disk he got from Future Future Jimmy. He inserts it into Future Angel's Hard Drive. Future Jimmy reveals that the actual Future Jimmy used spare parts to make Future Angel into a cyborg with the ability to talk post-accident. After THAT explanation, it's revealed that Future Jimmy was captured by Future Rainbow Dash who is revealed to be a Discordian double agent who had a more convoluted plan, revealing that her state was just as elaborate a ruse which in turn revealed why the timeline hasn't reset just yet. Future Rainbow had revealed that she lost her eye in the struggle that resulted in her turning Future Jimmy into robotic duplicates of the real Future Pound and Pumpkin Cake who she tricked into staying behind and the parts left over into a new eye. The duplicates fused into the Alicorn the Present Commander encountered and captured everyone. Future Rainbow refused to set those on what would now be her side further revealing that she did all of this for her OWN plans to reset history and become the ruler of Equestria, drinking a potion made from the accident which transforms her into a giant, demonic Alicorn with flames for a mane and tail. Suddenly Gilda appears on the scene with a "Time Stone" (The item responsible for bringing the Future half of the cast into this story in the first place) and uses it to send both Fluttershys, Future Spike and the Present Commander to the times of Star Swirl the Bearded who tells them the location of the Pendant of Quantum Cosmo and sends them back to the present (Three days earier) where Guilda is revealed to be the Gryphon the Commander fought for the feathers. After finally convincing Past Gilda of the situation, they board the train to Canterlot where it's revealed that the reprogrammed Future Jimmy followed them with Future Rainbow's Time Stone. A series of hijinks ensues resulting in Future Jimmy coming to his senses and heading off that night to inform the Past Commander. With the confused Past Gilda and eventually, Celestia and Luna in tow, our heroes find the Pendant and make their way to the area this casual loop started. There, Celestia frees our heroes. Jimmy cancels out the signal of Space Monster M. and the Aquabats use the Pendant taking them, the Battletram and their enemies home, thus foiling Future Rainbow's plans and resetting the timeline to the point before the Aquabats ever showed up in Equestria. ...You could SEE why a do-over is in order. It became a dark, convoluted mess! But give me a few moons, I'll have a new version up and running!
