You run down the hall like the hounds of Tartarus are on your heels, as whatever guards that were in this castle come out of the woodwork.
You have to knock a few out, saying sorry the whole time, as you run randomly looking for the royal vault.
You, The Doctor, and Derpy run down the hall as if the hounds of Tartarus are on your heels, which might as well be the case since you have three raging princess chasing you down with the intent to most likely kill you all. As you three turn a corner you hear Celestia shout in the RCV behind you,
"IT'S HIM! THE NIGHTMARE HAS INFILTRATED THE PALACE! SOUND THE ALARM AND CAPTURE HIM!"
Yours, Derpy’s and the Doctor’s eyes all widen in horror at her shout as you double your speed passing rooms and corridors. As you all do guards begin to plow out of the rooms and also begin to chase after you all. Soon a siren starts going off! You wish you could hold your ears in pain from the annoying sound, but you shrug it off as you continue to run.
As the three of you turn another corner the Doctor calls out,
"Keep running! We gotta lose them before we can find the vault!"
You and Derpy nod your heads at this as you all continue to run. Derpy also can't help but add in,
"And whatever you do, don't look back!"
You look at Derpy in confusion as you ask,
"Why is that?"
Derpy gulps slightly as she answers,
"It's scary when you look back."
You roll your eyes at this as you begin to turn around,
"Oh please, that is ridiculous! I've seen scary, and a couple of angry princess is not sca-"
BIG MISTAKE!
Your eyes widen in terror as you can see the fire of rage and anger in the Princesses’ eyes, as well as the burning rage of all the guards chasing after you,
"OH BUCK! I shouldn't have looked back! I BUCKING REGRET LOOKING BACK!"
With that shout of fear you start to pick up the speed as you start to outrun the Doctor and Derpy. Derpy shakes her head at this as the Doctor and her start to catch up with you. But you don't notice this as Selena yells in your head,
RUN BUGZE RUN!
I'm running! I'm bucking running!
The three of you continue to run for it, but as you all turn a corner you have to stop as there are guards blocking your path. The three of you gulp in fear as you all try to turn around, but are blocked by the princess and more guards. Celestia walks out in front of them as she glares at you and says,
"We have you now Nightmare! Now…we’ll..." she falters as she gets a good look at you.
“You are not the Nightmare…WHO ARE YOU?! SPEAK!” she cries out in anger and confusion.
You gulp in fear at this and try to say something in your defense, but you just sigh and say,
"You know what, buck it!"
With that said you turn around to the guards blocking your way and shout,
"FUS RO DAH!"
Your shout sends the guards flying backwards. The princesses and the guards behind you gasp in fear as if you had just destroyed them, but you ignore it as you take off while shouting,
"DOC, DERPY, COME ON WE NEED TO FIND THAT BUCKING VAULT!"
The Doctor sighs at this, but he still runs after you with Derpy in hoof.
As you run, you don't notice Celestia looking at her downed guards, who are slowly get back up, before she mumbles in confusion,
"That was one of his moves…but clearly that isn’t…"
Celestia shakes her head as she shouts out to the other princesses and guards,
"Don't just stand there! AFTER THEM!"
With a salute, the guards and the princess chase after you, Celestia following suit.
BACK WITH YOU, THE DOCTOR, AND DERPY
"Buck! They’re still on our tail!"
The Doctor sighs at your shout as he says,
"Of course they are! You’re public enemy number one around here remember?! They wouldn't just stop chasing us after you knocked them down."
You give a sheepish grin before saying,
"Are you sure...cause that was what I was hoping for. Maybe if I just knocked them out or something..."
The Doctor sighs before saying...
"Look Bugze, please refrain from fighting anymore then you already have," Doctor says as he runs. "As of right now, everypony here is aware of your move set! And we most certainly don't want to add injury to bystanders on top of the trouble we're already in!"
"Well, it's not like they are going give us tea and cookies when they catch us, now, huh?!" you shout back at him. You glance back at the mass of ponies, garbed in armor, behind you. "Does the Offender here know how to Air bend?"
"That's very unlikely since you never left Appleloosa so—wait, Bugze?!"
With a swish of your tail and a hoof, wind torrents at the ponies in front of the charge. You didn't pause for a second in your run to see them stumble and fall, forcing others behind them to trip over them. Just like that, in a domino effect, much of your chasers were left incapacitated. Only the pegasi in the front were spared.
Sadly, however, that warranted the hidden "okay" signal for all the remaining unicorns to blast magic at you all.
"It's worse! You just made it worse! Bugze, I wish you'd just listen to me for once!" The Doctor yells exasperatingly. "And since when did you learn how to Air bend?! We've never seen you practice that other than having the book that teaches it!"
You whimper as one beam of magic clip the side of your horn.
"I just don't know what went wrong!"
Derpy stares defiantly at you with one lazy eye, and shouts, "That's my line!"
"Oh, buuuuuuuuck!" is all you could say as you all ran the halls with murderous ponies hot on your heels.
The three of you keep on trying to lose the guards and princesses, but so far no luck. But you get a brilliant idea when you all turn a corner and see...
A corridor splitting into two paths! You turn towards the Doctor and Derpy and say,
"Let's split up. Then we can lose the Princesses while finding the diffuser!"
With that said you take the path on the left while the Doctor shouts out,
"NO BUGZE! WE SHOULDN'T SPLIT UP!"
But his shout falls on deaf ears as you’re already halfway down the other. The Doctor sighs in defeat as he’s about to say something, but is cut off when a shout from behind him calls out,
"THERE ARE THE INTRUDERS, GET THEM!"
The Doctor gulps in fear before he grabs Derpy's hoof and heads down the path to the right. Derpy looks at the left path in worry as she asks,
"But Doctor, what about Bugze?"
The Doctor looks at her as he continues to run and says,
"Don't worry Derpy, as long as he doesn't run into you know who, we'll be fine."
Derpy nods her head dejectedly at this as she looks back at the guards still chasing them in fear.
WITH YOU
Luckily you managed to lose the princesses and the guards that were chasing you. You lost them by making a few false turns and then hiding in a closet like a little foal. You give a sigh of relief as you walk out of the closet and think to Selena,
Phew, looks like we managed to lose them. Right Selena?
You imbecile do you realize what you have done!
You hold your head in pain from Selena's shout as you reply,
OW! Can you please not scream into my ear Selena. That alarm just stopped going and I was just staring to lose the ringing in my ears.
That's beside the point you idiot. You just left yourself without the Doctor in a castle where everypony is out to kill this version of you!
...
"Oh..."
You can't help but say as you realized just how much you bucked up. But it appears Selena isn't done scolding you as she says,
And not only did you do that, but now we have no clue as to where we are or what this diffuser looks like! And it's all because of your carelessness and your lack of brains that we got into this predicament in the first place!
You give an offended look as you think,
Hey! I'll have you know that I do have a brain in my head! I just don't use it often....anyways as long as I keep on walking I'm bound to find that hallway of window art. The Royal Vault should be near there if I remember correctly from my last 'visit' here.
With that thought in mind you begin to head down the corridor you’re in when an explosion erupts from right behind you! You turn around in shock to find an extremely pissed Luna glaring at you with as much hatred as possible.
"FIEND! PREPARED TO BE DESTROYED FOR ALL THE DEATH AND DESTRUCTION YOU HAVE WROTH UPON THE LAND!"
You just stare at Luna for a little bit before you shout out in fear,
"BUCK YOU LADY LUCK!"
With that you turn around and start to run for your life once again as well as dodging Luna's death lasers. You do this for a few more hallways before you run into something. You hold your head in pain as you look up and see...
Celestia and Cadence giving you the scariest stink eye you've ever seen! You turn around to make a run for it, but before you can you are intercepted by a golden magical aura that can only belong to Celestia. Celestia lifts you into the air and makes you stare at her as she says,
"We got you now!"
You gulp in fear as you start to stutter out in panic,
"Gah, Release me, I'm Innocent! I want my lawyer! It wasn't me, it was my twin brother! I didn't want to do it, but the strange stallion with only left horseshoes told me to do it!"
The Princesses look between themselves as Luna walks over to her sister and says,
"What is this sister? Is this an act?"
Celestia shrugs her shoulders as Cadence says,
"I don’t know auntie, The Nightmare isn’t that easily captured, nor subtle. I don’t think this is him."
Celestia nods, “If this were he, the palace would be on fire by now,” she says.
“But the Nightmare! His aura radiates it!” says Luna.
“Maybe it’s one of those Horde Cultists, they worship everything HE does” Celestia guesses.
Luna’s nose wrinkles in disgust at this, “Then he’s just as bad as that monster!”
Cadance peers deeply at you. “He seems familiar though…It’s his eyes. Like a…changeling’s eyes.”
The cold hard glare she gives you makes you whimper in fear as Celestia peers as well and says,
"A changeling? Here? Now?” She pears at you more deeply, “Maybe he is a survivor?"
Luna shakes her head as she says,
"That's impossible sister, she wiped them all out."
You gain a look of confusion at what she said, but before you can ask what she meant Cadence says,
"Even his voice sounds familiar…I can’t place it. WHO ARE YOU?!"
As the Princesses begin to talk, you begin to slowly move your power glove at them. When they’re in range you call out
"Would You Kindly Freeze!"
As the ice attack gets out from the gauntlet, Celestia gets a surprised look and release you. When she does you don't take chances as you jump over them and begin to run down the hallway and turning around the corridors so that they don't find you.
You take a left down the hallway not noticing solar flank teleporting in front of you startling you enough to give her hoof in the face
Which only works for about a second before Celestia teleports right in front of you.
“Eeep!” you cry out startled and rear your legs up. Because of your momentum and reflexive move, you pop Celestia right in the nose. Something she clearly wasn’t suspecting.
“OW! Motherbuck! Why the nose?!” she cries out while holding her snout as you run around her and give her the slip.
After a long run (2 minutes) you begin to feel without breath and begin to slow.
You hide inside another closet as you watch your pursuer’s shadows pass by under the door. When you’re certain that they're gone you let out a sigh of relief and get out of the closet.
When you do you walk over to a nearby window to see if you can figure out where you are. As you look out from the window you gain a surprised look as you see something...saddening. A big group of unicorns, half of them foals, mainly the age of the Crusaders, as they are trained to fight. You can see Sweetie Belle, one of Nightshade's friends. She wasn't alone, as you could see her with other unicorns foals and teens and adults… and a strange dark unicorn with a red curved horn eating what seems to be a Crystal. No pegasi or earth ponies are around so maybe they are training somewhere else. You guess that either these guys didn't hear the alarm (somehow) or that they were ordered to stay here
You hear a gasp of shock from within you mind as Selena says sadly,
The Princesses of this dimension are surely desperate if they are using him..
You don't know who Selena is talking about, but you assume it has to be the strange looking unicorn. You’re about to walk away from the window to try and find the vault, when you see that it's Sweetie's turn with a dummy, a dummy that resembles the hooded offender. You decide to stay around to see what would happen,
"Channel your rage! All of you! Think of how you hate him and use it to channel your magic!" Shouts the dark unicorn.
You see Sweetie Belle as she concentrate on her magic, when some purple bubbles begin to appear around her horn and a beam of magic blows the dummy to pieces! As the ashes of he dummy begin to fall, you see Sweetie glare at them as she says with a voice full of hatred,
"This is for my sister!"
You feel a spark of guilt at this, and you can't help but gulp in fear at the little filly's rage. But more importantly...
"What the buck was that!"
You cover your mouth as soon as you shouted that as all the ponies look up at you. The dark unicorn grins evilly at you as he shouts,
"An intruder... perfect... Attention! The one that gets the head of the intruder is going to have an hour of free time!"
As soon as he said that a barrage of magic is shot at you. You give a "yip" sound as you duck to avoid the beams of death. When they start to die down you get up again and look out the window to see the unicorns entering the Palace form the lower floor. You gulp in fear as you think,
Oh buck I better get out of here. But what kind of magic did they just shoot at me?
Dark Magic, a very powerful force. It’s also very dangerous because it begins to corrupt the mind of those that use it without precaution. To think that Celestia is making those foals use it… what kind of monster have we become that they think of using foals and dark magic against us?
You can't help but wonder that yourself, but you'll have to think about it another time as you hear hoofsteps coming from your left. You make a break for it down the hallway, but you run into a dead end. As you hear the hoofsteps getting closer you decide to use your head by jumping out of a nearby window.
...
What? I said you used it, I didn't say you used it safely.
Anyway, you hope that you land on a nice soft patch of grass or a hay bale, but instead you end up landing on top of a grumpy looking griffon.
"Great, I was forced to train these stupid pegasi while my fellow griffons went out to battle and now somgriffon decides to crash on top of me."
You look and see the griffon under you, and a group of pegasi around, one of them a certain orange filly.
"Soldiers, Take him!" Shouted the griffon.
You yell in fear as you jump off the griffon and start to make a run for it as the pegasi chase after you. You eventually get back upstairs only to run into the group of unicorns again. With another shout of fright you make a hard turn. You hear the pegasi and the unicorns slam into each other.
But sadly for you not all of them got knocked down. You start to run even faster as you shout out,
"Doctooooor!!! Where areee you!!!"
The hoard of ponies begin to catch up with you, but you manage to turn around the corner before they could. And you see the Doctor and Derpy running straight at you.
“Oh mother bu…” you cry out as you slam into both of them.
“Ouch!”
“Oof!” cry the Doctor and Derpy.
You end up in a pile, and the group of pegasi and unicorns and the guards chasing the Doctor an Derpy close in on you.
Thinking quickly, you pull out a smoke bomb and chuck it towards the group. Thankfully it goes up, so you grab the Doctor and Derpy and teleport them out…unfortunately you only teleport around the corner as you can still hear the group you just gassed. As the voices get closer, you shove them through the nearest door and close it gently, just in time. You listen at the door, and when all is silent, you let out a sigh of relief.
“Alright, they’re gone now. Let’s never split up again,” you say to the Doctor.
The Doctor doesn't look at you as he simply stares behind you with an unrecognizable look. Derpy on the other hoof looks terrified by whatever it is that their staring at. You get up from the door and turn around to see what they’re looking at. When you do, you can't help but gulp in fear as you see...
You stumble through a big set of doors and run into the middle of the room before you realize where you are. As you look back and see a smirking Cadence the throne room doors shut and lock and magical bars fall in front of the windows.
After you give them the slip (via smoke bomb, Look a distraction! And a teleport that went right for once, you overhear a messenger arrive and say Fillydelphia has just fallen.
You see a smirking Cadance standing not 10 feet from you. Her horn lights up and the door behind you locks, as well as the windows gaining a blue glow.
“Oh Buck,” you whimper.
“Now intruders, we seem to have some privacy, you mind telling me what you’re doing breaking into this castle?” she asks.
“Oh, we’re not intruders, we just go lost and…” the Doctor begins.
She zaps the wall above your heads, singing it.
“Don’t Lie To Me!” she shouts.
You gulp in fear.
“You in the hat!” she yells pointing at you, “Why do you seem so bucking familiar to me? Who are you?!” she asks.
“W-well…I’m…Baker Sylvester Tennant,” you whimper out.
She narrows her eyes at you “Is that supposed to mean anything to me?” she asks.
“N-no, probably not,” you say with a gulp.
“You’re probably a trio of those Horde Cultist Nutjobs aren’t you?” she accuses.
“What? No, I disbande-" you are elbowed by Derpy, something Cadance doesn’t miss. “I Mean, no of course not!” you hastily finish.
She zaps you with magic and you hit the door.
“I said not to lie to me Cultist!” she yells.
“But we’re no…” you try to say as you weakly get up from the floor.
“Your kind is sick. You were led by a terrorist that blew up half of your city and you worship a monster! A MONSTER! Even after my husband (she chokes up a bit) captured him, you still carried on his ways! But guess what, Flag Burner was executed! And your precious Nightmare will destroy what’s left of Fillydelphia all the same!” she angrily rants.
You realize what she’s saying. Without the Doctor, or you, Flag Burner succeeded in his plans. You look at her with fear from this revelation as you plead,
“But we’re not Cultists! We Swear!”
“Oh really?” she says skeptically, “Then why do you three have the presence of the Nightmare on you?”
“Well…uh…you see…” you begin, before you are interrupted by a pegasus flying through the window.
“Your Majesty! I bring urgent news!” says the bleeding and injured stallion holding a letter.
She glares at you. “Don’t you move,” she threatens.
Cadance turns her attention to him and she reads the letter, and her face turns solemn.
“Oh no…Oh Sweet Celestia no…” she says.
She drops the letter and the wind from the window blows it towards you. You pick it up.
“I’m afraid it’s true ma’am. Fillydelphia has fallen to the Nightmare…what was left of it anyway” says the messenger.
She begins to start crying and you take this chance escape. You teleport once more, and only end up on the other side of the door. You don't know rather or not to consider this lucky, but you decide to think on it later when you hear Cadence call out,
“Hey!”
You, the Doctor, and Derpy begin to run from the room the messenger’s words still fresh in your mind. As you, the Doctor, and Derpy eun away you shake your head to clear your mind over Flag as you look over to the Doctor and ask,
"Okay Doc, how much farther are we from the vault?"
The Doctor looks around as you all run before saying,
"I'd say we’re almost there. I saw a sign a while back pointing this way. Just a little farther and we’ll be at the vault."
You nod your head at this information as you all turn around the corner. But as you turn the corner you realize that...
The hallway was another freaking dead end!
“Seriously? Complete your hallways stupid castle designers!” you gripe.
As you search for a way out, you see the next window, conveniently having been opened!
You, the Doctor and Derpy hang onto dear life to the window sills while crawling to another window towards the other side of the dead end wall.. As you re-emerge into another hallway, you see someone you remember from Ponyville: Bon Bon. Only she is wearing sun glasses and is dressed in a suit. With some sort of metal band around her right hoof.
"Wha...", you begin to ask, just to be shushed by her. She gestures you all to follow her. She leads you to a hidden door on a wall and leads you into it. Once you exit another door, you find yourself in yet another hallway. She looks she says,
"We should be far away enough. Do not ask why I am helping you, just know I know where you come from. Who you are. The Royal Vault is down this hallway, next corner left. Here, take this.”
She hands you a metal orb and the Doctor gets a good look at her wrist band to which he gasps.
“Uh…”
“Put it in your coat, you’ll need it,” she says. “Do not ask who I am, just know I’m a friend” she says as she pushes a button on her band and disappears.
You, the Doctor, and Derpy can only stare at where she used to be in confusion before the Doctor snaps out of it,
The Doctor contemplates going to Torchwood for help repairing the TARDIS, but then remembers that since he didn't exist in this universe, neither does Torchwood
“Torchwood!” he exclaims while slapping his forehead. “Why didn’t I even think of them? With they’re technology and Jack’s help we’ll be able to…oh wait no…no no no,” the Doctor mumbles
“They wouldn’t be here now would they…since I’m not in this universe.” he says sadly before sighing.
“But what about Bon Bon there? Clearly she’s an agent.”
“Yes, but not from this Universe! Which means she’s one of ours.”
“But how’d she get here?” asks Derpy.
“They must have Cross Dimensional Technology available to them,” the Doctor sighs, “but that’s a can of worms to open later, right now we have to get to the vault!” he says as he trots off.
“Wait, if they can travel across Dimensions, why didn’t they help us? Why only this orb?”
“Because clearly this is the past for them, and it’s something we can handle...for the most part. Seems Jack is finally listening to me if only partially,” he says with a smirk,“But enough of that, to the diffuser.”
You and Derpy nod your heads at this as you all head off towards where Bon Bon's directions led.
Looks like Bon Bon was telling the truth as you all find the long hallway full of stain glass windows, the Doctor gets to work on opening the vault. Meanwhile you and Derpy go to both ends to watch out for any guards.
The Doctor puts his sonic screwdriver into the horn hole and activates it.
The Doors slide open immediately.
“There, that wasn’t so hard was it?” says the Doctor, “Now if only the TARDIS wouldn’t be so picky about magic.”
As the Doctor begins to look for the Diffuser, you can't help but ask him,
"Hey Doc, how come the Princess knew I was…me, the other me until they saw this disguise?"
The Doctor, still looking through the vault, answers you as he says,
"Well, I would have to guess they had a Nightmare magic detection spell or something like that cast on them. What with the other you being made of it, it would have made sense that they would cast a spell to detect him. When they saw you it must have sent the spell off. Luckily the perception filter caused them to doubt this. I should have known through, I'm smarter than this, to just ignore magic like that. You see this is way I hate magic, you can't explain it and it's too darn confusing to explain. In fact one time around-"
You interrupt the Doctor before he could go on in his rant as you say,
"Alright alright Doc, I get it. Magic is annoying and got us found out. Just hurry up and grab the Diffuser and let’s go, they can catch up at any moment.”
“Hold your horses Bugze, this vault has quite a few trinkets in it,” he says as he begins buzzing his screwdriver over all the things within.
“Alright alright…” you mumble.
As the Doctor searches, you figure you have a chance to read what’s on the note Cadance dropped.
I
t's elaborated that after the "Hearth's Warming Eve Uprising", the city was taken over by the Horde (now a Hooded Offender-based doomsday cult that believes it will be spared due to their faith) due to the rest of Equestria being busy with Nightmare Bugze
Coincidentally, Fillydelphia was the last city to fall before Canterlot, but when Nightmare Bugze arrived, he ordered them all to fight to the death claiming the survivors will be his chosen. The city then erupted in a violent "Kingsman"-style melee with all the ponies slaughtering each other with religious fervor as NB proceeded to stroll through the free-for-all, munching on junk food and providing commentary like a tourist in a funhouse.
To the Princesses of Equestria,
The City of Fillydelphia has been destroyed by the Nightmare. The Horde has torn it and everything alive in there apart. Our suspicions proved true, the Nightmare did in fact contact his radical followers. However, unlike our theories, he did not organize them into an army. Instead he used his status and preyed on their beliefs. He ordered them to all fight to the death to prove their loyalty, and that only 6 of them would be chosen to be his followers. It was a blood bath. Hundreds died as they carried out his deed, bringing buildings down and destroying everything in sight while the Nightmare sat back and watched. At the end, six members were left standing…and he killed them when they knelt before him, laughing as he did so. He then proceeded to destroy anything left standing. Our information comes from a surviving horde member, who was buried under debris. Even as he told us this, he still pledged allegiance to that monster. May Faust Save Us All,
Captain Stainless Steel.
Your hooves shake as you finish reading. You feel woozy at the images that pop into your head. The horrible things the other you did. You lean against the wall to catch your breath and in doing so you see the window you’re at telling a story in images.
You see the one glass window from when Nightmare Moon was defeated.
Such elegance for my weakest moment… Selena mutters.
The Next window shows the Cadance and Shining armor blasting all the changelings away. And there’s also a stain glass of the Mane 6 beating Discord…but next to it is a window covered by a sheet, in fact, there appear to be a whole row of covered windows.
You take down the nearest one, and it is horrifying.
The stain glass window shows the Mane 6 broken and beaten on the floor surrounded by a burning village. Standing above them is a dark figure. It has 4 orange glowing eyes, 9 fox tails, sharp tusks that look as sharp as a sword and large horns that look even sharper. Your breath catches in your throat at the sight as flashes from Shadow Bugze’s memory come forth.
You go to the next window and uncover it. It shows Manehattan being destroyed by the creature with large meteorites.
The Next Window Shows The Everfree being set ablaze by it.
The Next, The Creature and the Princesses, Fighting over a destroyed Ponyville, as Cadance holds a dead Shining Armor.
You assume the other windows show more of what you…he’s done.
Your eyes begin to well with tears, so you look away, and notice Derpy looking at you with tears in her eyes as well.
She gives you a hug. You cry into her shoulder a bit.
“Why…why would they make these?” you ask.
“This hallway shows all the significant moments of Equestria’s history…the good and the bad, the windows make themselves” she responds.
“I don’t want this to be true…I won’t let this be true,” you say to her.
“And it won’t Bugze, it won’t, I promise, it won’t,” she says.
You feel better hearing her say that to you.
You release from the hug and smile at her, you then blow your nose into the next curtain covering, and it falls down revealing something blood wrenching.
Unlike the other windows, you…HE is not in it, but still, it’s not a happy piece. It shows what can only be described as Genocide. You see Changelings, hundreds of changelings all broken, mutilated and crying. There are piles of their bodies burning with green blood covering the ground. You see the image of your former Queen, her horn broken, being stabbed by a grisly looking pony with furious eyes. The pony looks familiar…
"Bugze, can you help me out here! There's a statue blocking the way to the Diffuser."
You sigh as you shake off the massacre in front of you as you head over to the Doctor, but as you do a knife flashes by and sticks into the stone pillar you were just standing in front of. Derpy lets out a shriek as you turn to where the knife came from and shout,
"Hey! Who did that? You almost took my head off!"
Your question is left unanswered as a familiar voice calls out creepily,
"Intruders in the castle huh? Trying to hurt the princesses? Trying to hurt more friends?"
You gulp in fear at the amount of malice that came off of that sentence. You look over to Derpy and see the Doctor with her, staring at the dark hallway in fear as he says,
"Oh no no no! She shouldn't be here! Not here, not now..."
You start to get nervous because if the Doctor is afraid of something, then it can't be good. You look back at the dark hallway as you see a glint of a metal prosthetic leg come out of the dark. You stare at it in fear as the rest of the pony comes out of the darkness.
And you don't know whether be terrified of happy.
For the pony who came out of the dark hallway has a pink mane that's completely straight. The rest of her pink body is covered in scars, and a shade darker than what it was. Her front left prosthetic leg goes all the way up to the shoulder, and is shiny and chrome. The pink pony stares at you with emotionless eyes as she takes out more blades from her saddle bag. They all look extremely painful and really sharp. What's worse is that all the blades are drenched with dried green blood. You stare at the pony and gulp in fear as pure utter terror takes over you. There’s no doubt about it, this is the pony in that Changeling Massacre Window. It's even worse when the pink pony smiles at you insanely and says a sentence drenched in malice,
"Not on my watch."
Your hooves start to shake in fear as you confirm three things.
One, Pinkie Pie is alive and kicking.
Two, She wants to kill you.
And Three, SHE IS BUCKING INSANE!
What do you do?
You utterly and humiliatingly get your butt handed to you by the Pink Psycho.
She is fast, far faster than she’s ever been during your past fights, and that metal arm of hers packs a punch.
You try to pull a Psycho Crusher on her, but she hops over you, grabs you by the leg and spin slams you into the ground, causing a crater.
At one point, you grab some broken glass and throw it at her, cutting her cheek.
She just glares at you, touches her hoof to the cut, then stares at you in a sinister manner as she licks the blood off.
You think you peed a little seeing that.
At one point, you are thrown violently backwards into the Doctor right as soon as he gets the Diffuser…which looks like a spiked dog collar.
Pinkie advances, only for Derpy to drop a vase on her head from above.
She just looks up with a scary look on her face.
“Oh…My Bad?” Derpy faulters.
Pinkie jumps on the nearest wall and begins climbing it like a freaking Spider, to get closer to Derpy.
Derpy keeps avoiding her, but Pinkie continues to chase her by bounding from wall to wall.
“That’s it, time to end this,” you proclaim as your eyes begin to glow.
“NO YOU FOOL!” The Doctor exclaims as he pulls your panama hat over your eyes.
“Hey! Cut it out Doc, I gotta…”
“If you use any of your Nightmare Powers now, they’ll think you are HIM!”
Your eyes unglow at that.
“Oh…right…” you mutter.
The Doctor lifts your hat and looks into your eyes.
“And you, Night Goddess, keep his eyes from glowing at all costs!”
“You’re not in charge of me Time Lord,” she glowers at him.
“In charge or not, just do it, otherwise I can’t ensure your safety.”
“Fine…” she says in frustration.
“Incoming!” Derpy yells as she flies towards the group, Pinkie hot on her trail.
“How the Hay am I going to stop her then Doc?”
“You don’t, RUN!”
You then run for your lives from the Pink Psycho, but no matter where you hide, she seems to cut you off.
Eventually you round a corner and she strikes you all into falling into a pile, and she throws a net on you three.
“Stupid little spies, you think you’re just going to walk out of here? Huh? From ME?!”
She pulls out a blade.
“I’m the last of the Elements of Harmony, I’m the reason the Changelings are Extinct, and I’m the one who is going to Kill the Nightmare! What makes you Horde Cultists think that you’re going to be leaving alive?!”
You try to buy yourselves some time till you can get out of the net, so you decide to keep her talking.
"H-how? How did you kill all the changelings?" you whimper out.
"How? With plenty of metal and fire that's how," she says with a sadistic smile.
"But why? Why kill all the changelings when The Nightmare is out there?" you ask.
She stops, and anger returns to her face.
You gulp, but continue.
"Surely you could've used there help in a time like this? Maybe through sheer numbers they could have..."
"THEY LAUGHED!!!" she roars at you all.
"Eep!" you cry, still trying to get out of the net.
"They all laughed at what happened!" she says with spit flying out of her mouth.
"Wha-w-wha..." you try to spit out.
"We did go to them, the princesses asked me to. They needed everypony they could get even though he's MINE...So I went to their prison, and I talked with that stupid Queen!" she says her eyes staring at nothing.
You're able to get the net untangled around your feet, so you slowly start getting it off the Doctor and Derpy.
"She wanted to know where Twilight was...so I told her..." she recounts with tears in her eyes. You just are about to get the net off, when she glares right at you.
"And She Laughed!" she shouts causing you to drop the net again.
"She laughed and laughed, and then all the other bugs started laughing...heh heh, hahahahahahaha!!!!"
The laughter is emotionless and creepy, she glares into your eyes and stops abrubtly.
"So I killed them...Every. Last. One. They didn't find that funny at all," she says with a sadistic smile.
You hear the Doctor give an audible gulp.
"I figured, 'Hey, the Nightmare's a Changeling, so I'll kill his friends and family like he killed mine!' And since you're Horde Cultists, you are 'one of his own'" she says as she raises the knife once more.
She advances with the Knife, but suddenly there is a yellow glow thrown up between you.
“Stand Down Pinkamena!” cries out Celestia.
Pinkie turns around with a snarl but loses it when she sees it’s Celestia.
“I said Stand Down!” she orders.
"You have but one target left Pinkamena, only one!" urges Luna.
"Save it for HIM Pinkie," finishes Cadenza.
Pinkie sighs before she sits on her haunches and sheathes her knife.
“As you wish Princesses.”
After that, all three of them point their horns towards you.
“Now, you three are intruders of my castle. Who are you? And what do you want?” says Celestia.
The Doctor answers.
"We are time travelers from another dimension, and if you want to end all the misery and mayhem from the Nightmare, we are your best shot."
The seemed shocked by this.
"Wow, way to be subtle Doc," you think.
"What ridiculousness do you speak?" asks Luna.
"Not ridiculousness, the truth," the Doctor says.
"What proof do you have, 'Time Traveler'?" says Celestia.
The Doctor points at Celestia.
"Your full name is Celestia Gwynevere Solairus, your first cake was a chocolate and Red Velvet given to you for your 10th Birthday and when you were 15 years old you witnessed the Aurora Borealis and decided to change your pink mane to look like it" she looks shocked at this as he points to Luna.
"You are Luna Gwyndolin Solairus, you can speak Manticore, and when you were young, you had a pet possum named Tiberius whom you've never forgotten," Luna looks shocked by this.
The Doctor points at Cadance, "And you are Mi Amore Cadenza, quite literally the reincarnation of Princess Amore from the crystal shard of her heart after her death at the hooves of King Sombra."
He then points to Pinkie, and sighs, "You are Pinkamena Diane Pie, you were born on a rock farm with three sisters, the first time you ever felt true joy was when you witnessed the Sonic Rainboom performed by your friend Rainbow Dash."
She gasps at this, but then her eyes become steely once more.
"I haven't felt joy in a long time. Only when I end him will I truly be happy," she says to the Doctor.
The Doctor just looks at her sadly before Celestia speaks.
"How do you know all this," she asks.
"Because I'm the Doctor, I'm the last of the Timelords, I'm over 1,000 years old, I've fought countless enemies, and I travel through time and space at my leisure. These are my companions Ditzy "Derpy" Hooves, and Baker Sylvester Tennant."
"Then...why are you here, and why do you have the Nightmare's presence?" Luna asks.
"Because my TARDIS is on the fritz and as for the Nightmare... we've encountered him before," he says with a look to you, "And we stopped him from ever existing. This whole situation you've got going on here, I've already fixed it in my world, and I can fix this one too, I just need time to repair my TARDIS free from harassment."
"How?" asks Cadance, "How will you fix this?"
"What part of 'Time Traveler' is confusing you?" he snarks.
"B-but, it's Impossible, not even Star Swirl could maintain a Time Spell," says Celestia.
"OH you ponies and your magic, try turning to science once in awhile on this bloody rock!" he chides, and just then
And Explosion happens.
"Whoops, our bad!" shout a familiar pair of voices.
"Yeah, like that! Whelp, that's our cue! Tennant! Cupcakes!" he yells.
You throw a plate of cupcakes in their face temporarily blinding them.
"Stay out of our way Princesses! ALLONS-Y!" he shouts as he drags you two out the newly made hole in the wall.
upon seeing the dried green blood on her blades, one thing comes to mind, grand buggy. the image of psycho pinkie laughing madly upon the dead bodies of changelings and torturing grand buggy brought one emotion to mind. Hatred.Slowly your eyes start to flicker orange as you think about grand buggy and that he is dead. the doctor sees this and pulls your hat over your head.
"HEY!what gives!?" you exclaim."do you really want the princess the think you are the nightmare? Right now they are still confused but if you use your nightmare powers, they would unleash their might to try and defeat you." the doctor hurriedly explained.
"oh" upon hearing this, you push the dark thoughts away and calm down, soon the flickering glow in his eyes die down.
What was your reaction to the Pinkie revel? A big surprise...
------
"Errr... Could you believe me if I say I'm not a member of the horde?" Asked Bugzee
Pinkamena begin to walk to Bugzee as if she did not listen that.
"Emm... Err... What if you leave us and... uhh... make a party instead?" Ask Bugzee again
That only seems to make the pink pony even more angry as she go to Bugzee
"Come on, Pinkie Pie, smile..." Say Bugzee as he try to retreat
"No more Pinkie Pie... Only Pinkamena, I will be sure to take you, after what you did in Ponyville, I can never forget that" Say Pinkamena
"But uuuhhh... I try to repair that... You see, my friend have a time machine, we can go to the past and no more evil offender" Say Bugzee
"That won't work... By the theory of the multiverse, every decision you make, create a different timeline, even if you go to the past and try to repair that, a timeline that you did not manage to go to the past exist... So it don't matter, they are dead" Say Pinkamena
"What? Is that true Doctor?" Ask Bugzee surprised looking to him
"Errr... Well... Timmy Wobbly, you know how it is... Yes... Even if we go to the past this timeline is going to still exist..." Comment The Doctor
"Wait, how is that Pinkie know that?" Ask Bugzee
"What? I'm not a Airheaded, do you know how hard is to make a Party Cannon? only because my talent is make party after party don't mean I don't study" Ask Pinkamena
"Okay... This is not going anywhere... Could you kindly freeze!" Shout Bugzee with the power glove
A freeze ray go to Pinkamena but she move to a side and evade it.
"How did..." Say Bugzee surprised
"Do you forgot? I still have the Pinkie sense, I know everything you are going to do... And now, If you don't have anything more to say I'm going to kill you" Say Pinkamena as she go to Bugzee
"Crap... Come on Pinkie! I'm your friend... Or well, a friend with another you, but a friend... Can't you let me go?" Asked Bugzee
"Let me think... NO! And I'm Pinkamena, Pinkie is dead like all her friends, she died the day that Ponyville was attacked, like Mister Cake, Matilda, Granny Smith... and the others" Pinkamena jump with her Blades and try to hit Bugzee but he manage to evade it
"Errr... Look! Is the Evil Offender!" Bugzee point with his hoof but is forced to move before he end without hoof
"No luck... My Pinkie Sense could tell me if the Evil Offender was around here" Comment Pinkamena
"But... What about me?" Asked Bugzee
"You are simply a intruder, compared to the offender you are like a foal" Say Pikamena
"Great... Doctor, do you have a plan?" Asked Bugzee to the doctor
Bugzee look to the Doctor, as he is in a corner looking scared
"No more Cupcakes... No more Cupcakes... No more Cupcakes" Say in low voice scared
"Uhhh... What happen?" Asked Bugzee
"Don't worry, he is going to recover in a while" Say Ditzy.
I'm scared now. RUN!
You frantically look everywhere for anything that might aid you in your battle against Pinkie and the princesses notice a blood red potion infront of you. You quickly grab it and read it.
congratulations! You have found Beast Potion!
This potion will now give you the ability to physically alter your current form to a adaptive combat form in case your current situation is life n death.
To activate your transformation, please say "The Beast".
Warning: Once use, transformation of beast mode will be instantaneous after consumption.
"Yolo!" You said.
In a instant, you finish the entire bottle with one gulp.
"Taste like Orange Soda." You commented about its taste.
A few moments later, your eyes widen and you start rolling in pain screaming as your bits of your chittin breaks armour apart revealing your flesh and a pair of pylons erupts from both shoulders causing your eyes to glow bright green as several more pairs of pylons erupt from your back thus stretching your body.
Due to so much pain, you dig your hooves deep into the ground deep as your front hooves slowly morphs into claws and your hooves slowly extends making your body appearance look suarian-like.
"Bugze!" Selena shouted worriedly in your mind but you ignore her concern.
Once the transformation was complete, you let out a feral roar also revealing your needle like teeth and launch yourself right at them. As your first target was Pinkie who barely had any time to defend herself when you bash her through several walls of the castle with the princesses in tow.
"Bugze!" Derpy cried as she run to aid you.
"No! Go fixed the TARDIS with the Docter! I'll hold them off!" You shouted as a beam of dark magic hits you but was deflected by your own AT Field keeping you and Derpy safe.
"Now go!" You ordered as Derpy nods.
"Now its just you all against me." You said and launch yourself towards them.
hope you like this as it was inspired by this.
My reaction to Pinkamena`s reveling:
Bugze, Doctor and Derpy, you have lived a good life (or lives in the Doctor`s case), and I hope your death will not be too painful.
Good luck.
6129679 What she / he / it said.
-----
You fight her, but she always dodges, and counterattacks. "Damnit...", you mutter, "I can't do this!"
You look around, and see the Doctor standing in the entrance: "What are you waiting for? Come! We have what we came for!"
You smile at this, well, would, if you wouldn't have to do impossible acrobatic feats to keep yourself alive, "Alright, I'm coming! Give me just one minute..."
As your back nears the wall, you turn around and jump at it, using your natural changeling-powers(?) to cling to the wall, and wallrun to the entrance. "Ha! I want to see how she can get me now...", you think to yourself.
"Well... look back, and you will."
You don't waste any time looking back, remembering Pinkie... PINKAMENA's talent for doing the impossible, and instead increase your running speed. As you near the hallway, you run even after you passed the doctor and jumped out the next window into a tree conveniently placed, followed by the doctor...
Or atleast would have, if there wouldn't be a yellow magic keeping you and the Doctor in place, directly out of the window, and levitating you back in.
As you turn around, you look into Celestia's face, gulp, and she says: "Gotcha!"
SHOOT HER!
Oh wait.. where are you supposed to get a gun?
You check yourself to try and find the Inventory..
But it's not there!
"Oh... buck."
(Cue extreme techno music while running from a huge s***storm)
And while I can
THERE IS A 99% CHANCE OF A S***STORM COMING THIS WAY
My reaction....HOLY F*#K!!!! Run Bugze Run!!
Selena: I feel a darkness coming from her even stronger than Sombra's.
Bugze: Who?
Selena: *sigh* The dark unicorn with the red curved horn teaching foals dark magic
Bugze: Oh.........Wait. She's worse?! So that means that now she has dark magic empowering her even more than her usual Pinkie self?
Selena: She's an Earth Pony, she can't use magic.
Bugze: Never underestimate Pinkie Pie. If she wants to do something, she will.
Pinkamena: Who are you talking to Dead Bug Walking?
Bugze: Um, the other voice inside of my head. She usually is a voice of reason and common sense for me. And we were arguing about if it is possible for you to use magic. She said you can't and I disagree.
Pinkamena: Ok then. Carry on. It is kind of amusing. I think I'll kill you last.
Bugze: Ok, Wait what?
Selena: You have to protect The Doctor and Derpy from the pink psycho.
Bugze: Right. On it.
My reaction; Uh oh.
Anyway, make sure you don't die. Dodge everything she throws at you. Provide the Doctor and Derpy a distraction by fighting this version of Pinkie while they go after the diffuser.
My reaction: Pen out, Paper out write a WILL
Selena any ideas? you asked Selena
She looks angry try taking to her. Selena replied
"Pinky my friend your alive, how is every pony doing?" you asked trying to see if she is still her. Her happy hopping self
"There dead." Pinky said in a non friendlily tone
"Oh I'm sorry to hear that, Listen me and my friends here are in a hurry so... would like to move along and your knifes that has been covered in changeling blood." you gulp upon looking at them
Pinky didn't move in pause she spoke
"My isn't pinky pie MY NAME IS PINKAMENA!" she launch at you
DODGE! In quick reaction you moved out of the way.
I'll try and reason with her maybe find why she is angry and why she killed my kin you thought
I thought you hate them? Selena asked
I do but I what to know is why? you replied dodging another attack
"Pinky! The changeling why did you kill them?" you asked
"They got what's going to them." she replied taking a swing with her knife
"Is this about the wedding that was long ago"
"Nope it isn't. This is about hurting my friends"
"I thought the Nightmare killed" That only angered her
"He did that wasn't the reason. The reason is that they hurt many pony's feelings"
"Hurt there feeling they were fine when..."
you stopped your mind Flashed back to the newspaper on you B.S.T chasing after the Changelings that foal napped your daughter. You remember A quote that was said in the paper by Rainbow Dash "We will make them all PAY!"
Back at the room pinky was staring at you (bugzy) and then at you?
"Readers please hold him still so I can put a smile on his" she said as she goes to an very evil and scary grin.
"Who are you talking to?" you asked
"Oh the commenter and readers that tell you what to do"
"Ok... Commenter and reader if you are there well SAVE ME!" you shouted at us.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
This is pinky pie remember she can brake the 4th wall so don't listen to her!!!
Also when I said you missed pinky pie on the wall of the dead nevermind
needs editing fill free to ask
Wait, if Pinky did kill all the changelings wouldn't that make her as bad as the evil bugze?
When the Doctor stops you from fighting.
"Okay Doc; One: Don't get in my way when I'm protecting ponies I like. Two:" You whip out the Power Glove before continuing, "Nightmare Cloak isn't the only trick up my sleeve so would you kindly BUCK OFF!"
Using the 'Bucking Bronco' plasmid, you send a quake that hits Pinkie (distracted chasing Derpy) and suspends her helplessly in the air. You quickly follow it up by declaring,
"Would you kindly BURN..."
Pinkamena's hair burst into flames causing her to let out an enraged pained yell as the Doctor yells,
"BUGZE! W-"
"...GET OVER HERE..."
Using the Telekinesis plasmid, you pull the flaming psycho towards you as the Doctor dodges out of the way, catch her face in the palm of your glove, and turn to smash her head into the window depicting her changeling genocide.
"...AND EAT LIGHTNING!"
With that, you electrocute Pinkamena point-blank in the face causing her to give out a muffled cry under your glove. With her stunned, you rear your hoof back and declare,
"FALCON PUNCH!!!"
As you send a flame-encased hoof smashing into the Pink Psycho's face with enough force to smash her through the window of her changeling genocide and knocking her into the courtyard below.
"Bugze! Why'd you do that for!" Derpy exclaims.
"It's Pinkie, she'll be fine... probably." you say the last part uncertainly.
Based on those slasher flicks in your memory, we'd be lucky if that merely slowed her down
True, only the final virgin mare can "slay" the slasher so I guess that'll be Derpy's job.
I believe the wall-eyed pegasus has a daughter...
Your mental discussion of slasher tropes is interrupted when the Doctor says,
"Bugze, I can not stress enough how you must NOT fight-"
"Pacifism may be your thing Doc, but it sure as Tartarus ain't my style." you say.
"Darn it Bugze, this beha-"
"Oh change the bucking tune Doc! I swear if I hear one more lecture about how 'this is why you become the Nightmare' I'm gonna Falcon Kick you in all 4 of your nards!" you snap.
"Bugze, listen t- Wait, what?! Why would you think I have that many?"
"Well Time Lords have 2 hearts so I thought, you know, that you would have 2 pairs of-"
"Doc, Bugze, I think we better go..." Derpy interrupts as you realize that commotion might have alerted more guards.
6129272
Your impromptu meeting with the princesses is interrupted when the castle wall explodes. When the dust settles you all see Flim and Flam standing next to a gnarly-looking cannon/wagon.
"Sorry your majesties, just running the final tests on [insert a Flim and Flammy name for their weapon-invention]!"
You suddenly spot a tray of cupcakes. Getting an idea, you grab the tray and yell,
"FREE CUPCAKES ON ME!"
Before tossing the whole tray at them, some of the sweet pastires splattering on the horns of the 3 alicorns (stunning them temporarily). A pink cupcake with rainbow sprinkles splatters on Pinkamena's eye causing her to cry out in pain,
"THE FROSTING! IT BURNNNS!!! I CAN ONLY SEE A HORRIBLE RAINBOW!"
With this distraction, you, the Doctor, and Derpy quickly make your exit.
Cadance then tells Luna and Celestia the news about Fillydelphia's fall. Celestia then realizes in horror that they sent the Griffins, Discord, and Tirek to (what's left of) Las Pegasus (which is far WEST of Canterlot) when Nightmare Bugze was actually in Fillydelphia (which is EAST of Canterlot).
6129434
Bon Bon is still alive
6130585
BUCK YOUR CUPCAKES!
One reader (me) yells before using his commenting powers to drop a grand piano on Pinkamena's head and then cut Bugze a break by making a Naco and a mug of Butterbeer appear in his hooves (he probably hasn't eaten in a while).
"What about me?!" Derpy says before said commenting powers make a muffin appear in her hooves.
After his meal, Bugze goes, "Thanks, I needed th- Wait... WHAT THE BUCK JUST HAPPENED?!"
This is an alternate universe where Bugze never left Appleloosa after Season 1. BAKER SYLVESTER TENNANT DID NOT EXIST
6129316
Grandbuggy has been exiled when Bugze was young and was NOT part of the Canterlot invasion so Pinkie didn't kill him
When wasn't she?

After arguing with the Doctor about not fighting, he says.
"No you fool, I didn't want you to make her angry. She's much worse when she's angry..." he says with fear.
"OH come on, what am I supposed to do? Die or run? I'm a warrior Doc, not some damsel in distre-*stick* eeeeeeeeeessssss" you finish in a high pitch voice as a knife lodges into your front left forearm you were pointing at the Doc with.
"Take it out, take it out!""OK," says Derpy as she immediately takes the blade out."OW! Not so fast!" you yell."Oh sorry, I'll do it again more slowly," she says as she sticks the blade back in then pulls it out again."GAAAAGGGHHHH!!!! OH MOTHERBUCKER!"
"Watch your language!" she scolds.
Luckily the wound isn't that deep, thanks to your coat.
You look to the broken window and see her there, a bit singed, but with an angry face.
"It's been awhile since prey hurt me, not since that stupid Bug Queen..." she then smiles. "And for that, you won't die quickly," she says as she charges you with great speed. You teleport you and your group down the hall.
"Alright, maybe I did buck up a bit," you admit to the Doc.
"Ya think?" he says.
"Oh definitely," says Pinkamena right behind you.
"Gyaaaaaggggghhhh!!!!" you all scream as you run away.
When I read about what happened to Pinkie, let me just say it involved carrying a gun to bed, hiding under the covers, and sleeping with my light on.
Run!
Oh dear. That's not Pinkie Pie. That's Pinkamena.
Huh. Pinkamena Dyin' Pie.
