As the Pink Pyscho stares you down with the most unsettling look you've ever seen, you hear Selena say in your head,
I feel a darkness coming from her even stronger than Sombra's.
You gain a look of confusion as you think,
Who?
*sigh* The dark unicorn with the red curved horn teaching dark magic.
Ohhhh... Wait. She's worse?! So does that mean she has dark magic empowering her even more than her usual Pinkie self?
You hear Selena give another annoyed sigh as she says,
No you idiot. She's an Earth Pony, they can't use magic.
You gain a deadpanned look as you say outloud,
"Look, if there's anything I've learned from my life, it's that you never underestimate Pinkie Pie. If she wants to do something, she will."
Pinkie finally stops giving you her creepy look as she asks menacingly,
"Who are you talking to. Dead-Intruder-Walking?"
You give a "eep" sound as you answer her quickly to avoid a stabby death,
"Oh... um, the other voice inside of my head. She's usually is a voice of reason and common sense for me even through she tends to egg me on to break things when she really hates somepony. And we were arguing about if it is possible for you to use magic. She said you can't and I disagree."
Pinkie gains a look of... insane amusement as she says,
"Okay then, carry on. That's kind of amusing. I think I'll kill you last."
With that said she starts to turns away from you and starts to walk towards the Doctor and Derpy. You nod your head at this as you say,
"Okay tha-wait WHAT!?"
You fool, protect The Doctor and Derpy from the pink psycho before we lose our only chance of getting out of here!
You quickly nod you head and start to run after Pinkie as you think,
Right! On it!
You managed to reach Pinkie just as she was about to bring her blade down on the Doctor (who was standing protectively in front of Derpy).
Thinking quickly you jump at Pinkie with your hoof reared as you shout,
"FALCON PUNCH!"
You flam-encased hoof slams into the back of Pinkie's head sending her flying away from the prone ponies. You give a huff before you look at the Doctor and say,
"Phew, that was a close one huh Do-"
DODGE!
You automatically heard Selena's shout as you jump backwards a few feet. Just in time too as six blades get embedded into the ground where you were just at. You gulp in fear as you look back to see Pinkie walking towards you with a emotionless face. She ignores the Doctor and Derpy completely as she walks past them. As she starts to pick up her blades she says,
With that she throws the blade at you. You give a shout of shock as you quickly dodge to the left and look at pinkie as she starts to slowly walk towards you while brandishing two more blades covered with dried green changeling blood. You gulp in fear as you think,
Selena, any ideas that won't turn me into swish cheese or chopped liver?
You hear Selena hum for a second before she says,
While I would usually suggest beating your foe to the ground before tearing her limbs off, perhaps we should try a diplomatic approach for once. She looks angry, so try calming her down.
I don't think that's gonna work, but what the hay?
With that thought you gulp slightly before awkwardly saying,
"Pinkie my friend, you're alive! How is everypony doing?"
"They're dead." Pinkie says in a non-friendly tone.
You shiver in disgust as you get flashes back to how they died, but you shake it off as you say,
"Oh I'm so so sorry to hear that. Listen me and my friends here are kinda in a hurry so... would you please move along with your knives that are covered in changeling blood-" You hold back some vomit when you see the blades again as you try to not imagine just how they were used to get that much blood on them. You shake it off as you continue, "A-and pretend you never saw us?"
You stare at Pinkie in fear as she doesn't move at all. She's just staring at the floor in a daze. You gain a look of worry as you ask,
"Uh... Pinkie Pie... are you ok-"
Her head snaps back up at you as she says in a deadly tone,
"My isn't Pinkie Pie... MY NAME IS PINKAMENA!"
She lunges at you with two blades aimed at your head. You freeze up in fear, but you snap out of just in time as you dive away from her and her blades sink into the ground. She tries to pull them out, and as she does you take advantage of it as you think to Selena,
Okay....that didn't work at all. I guess I'll just try to reason with her, maybe find why she is so angry and why she killed all those changelings.
I thought you hated those roaches for making your youth so miserable?
Hate is a... strong word. Besides even I... IT had a reason for everything it's done so she has got to have some reason for killing them all, and I wanna know why.
When you finished your thought you see Pinkie lunging at you again and you barley managed to dodge Pinkie in time again as you roll away from her. You get back up and turn around to see her blades stuck in the ground again. Seeing your chance you ask,
"Pinkie! I saw the window, why did you kill of them? Why did you slaughter all those changelings?"
Pinkie ignores you as she manages to unstuck her blades and lunges at you again. You dodge again, but this time her blades don't get stuck as she turns to face you with a emotionless face.
"They had it coming for a long time. I just sped up the process."
This time she starts to try and stab you instead of lunging, and you barely manage to dodge each strike as you ask,
"Why? Is it because of what happened at the wedding?"
"No. This is about hurting my friends!"
She does a heavy slash towards your face, but you barely managed to duck as you say,
"But I thought I-the Nightmare killed them?"
Pinkie's face shows a emotion for once as it twists in rage before she says while still trying to stab you,
"He did! But that wasn't the reason. The reason was because the Nightmare was a changeling! If one of those bugs could become that monster, then maybe the rest could! So I decided to exterminate them all before that can happen!"
Your eye widen at this, but soon you give her a cold glare as you dodge another one of her blades. Pinkie just stares at you for a few seconds before she turns to... us (the Hive Mind)?
"Readers please hold him still so I can put a smile on his!" she says as she gains a very evil and scary grin.
"Who are you talking to?" you asked
"Oh the commenters and readers that tell you what to do"
Deciding play along with Pinkie's insanity in hopes of living longer you shout out,
"Okay... Commenters and readers if you are there well SAVE ME!"
Suddenly, as soon as you said that, a disembodied voice shouts out,
BUCK YOUR CUPCAKES!
*CRASH*
The next thing you know, a grand piano smashes onto Pinkie's head! Then there's a flash of light as a large Naco and a large mug of Butterbeer appear in your hooves. You stare at the food items in shock as Derpy shouts,
"Hey! What about me?!"
Soon there's another flash as a muffin pops into existence and boops Derpy on the nose. She smiles as she eats the muffin along while you shrug and eat the sudden food (you haven't eaten in a while anyway).
After your meal, you say,
"Thanks, I needed th- Wait... WHAT THE BUCK JUST HAPPENED?!"
"Simple..."
You gulp as you turn around to see...
Pinkie standing with barely a scratch on her! You gulp in fear as you see that even though a bucking grand piano smashed onto her head, she merely has a small scar on her head. She just stares at you as she continues,
"The Commenters and Readers clearly need a visit. They all need a smile if they're helping you..."
You finally get annoyed from Pinkie's madness as you shout,
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.
"PSYCHO CRUSHER!"
You lunch at Pinkie, but but she hops over you, grabs you by the leg with her prosthetic arm, and spin slams you into the ground with enough force to cause a crater. You give a moan of pain as you ask in a dazed voice,
"Oooohhh... what happened?"
However you soon regret asking as Pinkie's face appears inches away from your's as she whispers,
"Simple... you made me mad!"
With that she lifts you up and smashes you back and forth on the ground before she throws you next to the Changeling Massacre window. You slide off the wall in pain and start to see double, but you shake your head to lose the double vision. When you do you see Pinkie stalking towards you causing you to give a frighten 'eep' as you desperately...
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.
Smash the Changeling Massacre window behind you with your window causing a shard of the window to fall down next to you. This seems to enrage Pinkie as she starts to charge at you, but you grab the shard and quickly throw it at the pink psycho, cutting her cheek.
This seems to stop her as she stops her charge, but she just glares at you, touches her hoof to the cut, then continues glaring at you in a sinister manner as she licks the blood off.
...
You think you peed a little seeing that. And as if Pinkie can smell your fear she says,
"Oh, are you scared? You should be, cause nopony draws my blood... and lives!"
You just give a silent scream of fear as you get up and try to make a run for it, but you don't get far as Pinkie grabs your trench coat with her prostetic arm and...
Lifts you up into the air before violently throwing you behind her causing you to slam into the Doctor and both of you hit a wall. As you and the Doctor get up you see a spiked dog collar in his hoof. You get a look of confusion as you ask,
"Uh Doc, why do you have a dog collar with you?"
He looks at you strangely before he gets a look of understanding as he says,
"Oh this!" He gestures to the collar before he continues, "This my dear boy is the Diffuser we've been looking for. Now all we have to do is lose... her... and we can get back to the TARDIS."
You nod your head, before you gain a look of horror as you point behind the Doctor and say,
"Uh yeah... about losing her."
The Doctor turns around in fear as he sees Pinkie advancing on the both of you. You and the Doctor take a step back in fear, but before she can reach the both of you.
*shatter*
Derpy drops a vase on her head from above, but Pinkemena just looks up with a scary look on her face at Derpy.
“Oh… My Bad?” Derpy falters.
With a snarl, Pinkie jumps on the nearest wall and begins climbing it like a freaking Spider, to get closer to Derpy so the wall-eyed pegasus flies to keep avoiding her, but Pinkie continues to chase her by bounding from wall to wall.
*snap*
Your eyes start to glow orange as you see Derpy in danger as you declare,
"That’s it! No one tries to harm one of my friend on my watch. Selena! Time to-!”
“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 as you mutter “Oh… right…”
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." Selena growls at him via temporary control of your mouth.
“In charge or not, just do it, otherwise I can’t ensure your safety.” he firmly counters.
“Fine…” she says in frustration.
Your about to listen to what the Doctor is about to say, but you ignore him as you hear a scream and see Pinkie almost tear out one of Derpy's wings with her blade. You growl in anger as you say,
"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, " The 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 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-"
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 if you haven't forgotten that...
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 your discussion of Time Lord anatomy as you realize that commotion might have alerted more guards.
You nod your head as your about to say something when the Doctor says,
BrownDog's Comment
"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.
"Watch your language!" she scolds.
Luckily, the wound isn't that deep thanks to your coat and your healing factor stops the bleeding almost immediately. You turn to the broken window where the knife came from 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 causing you to freak out as you quickly shout,
"FUS RO DAH!"
Your roar of power sends Pinkie smashing out another covered window (which showed the monster crashing Cloudsdale into Vanhoover). You give a sigh of relief as Derpy says,
"The guards were bound to hear that, we gotta move!"
You nod your head as you say,
"Derpy's right. We got what we came for. Let's get outta here and qu-"
Your sentence is interrupted when a voice from above says,
"You're... not... going anywhere..."
The three of you gulp in fear as you all look up and see...
PINKIE PULLING OFF A BUCKING EXORCIST ON THE BUCKING WALL!!!
This is the last straw for the three of you as you all yell in pure terror,
"BUCK THIS S%#%! LET'S GET THE BUCK OUTTA HERE!"
Before 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.
With that you all begin to runaway as fast as you all can with the pink demon following you from the ceiling. You all try to lose her but no matter where you go she pops up. As you all turn a corner and run a good distance away you stop and turn around to see how close she is. You and the others wait a bit and you think that she must have lost you all, but sadly for you she pops around the corner on the ceiling and heading right towards you. You give a shriek as a voice in your head shouts,
Right... Oh wait, where am I supposed to get a gun?
You check yourself to try and find something to shoot her in The Inventory...
But it's not there!
"Oh... buck."
It is then that you remembered that you are still wearing the Power Glove. So thinking quickly you aim at the Pink devil and shout,
"Would you kindly BURN YOU PSYCHO!"
The Power Glove is pointed at Pinkie dead on and sets her mane on fire... only for her to stop and give you a raised brow before she nonchalantly likes her hoof and quickly runs it through her mane to put out the flames. You all stare at her in fear as you say,
"Uh... runaway in comedic fashion... AHHHHHH!"
With that the chase is back on as you, the Doctor, and Derpy turn tail and run for it. You all start to turn corners and try to lose her only to...
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?!”
Eventually you round a corner and somehow, all three of you run straight into her outstretched metal arm, clotheslining you all to the ground. If that wasn't bad enough, a net falls on all three of you, and it isn't tiny.
“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 here alive?!”
You all continue to struggle until you finally ask,
"Errr...would you believe me if I say I'm not a member of the Horde?"
Pinkie begins to walk towards you, knife drawn, as if she didn't hear you. You start to panic even more as you ask
"Emm...Err...how about you leave us alone and... uhh... make a party instead?"
That only seems to make the pink pony even more angry as she starts to get even closer. You start to get desperate as you say,
"Come on, Pinkie Pie, smile...and not kill us brutally."
"No more Pinkie Pie... Only Pinkamena. For what your master did in Applelossa, in Ponyville, I can never forgive that. You most certainly will die..."
Pinkie raises her knife in the air and is about to bring it down when you quickly say,
"Stop Pinkie! Come on I'm your friend or well, a friend with another you, but a friend. Can't you let me go?"
"Let me think... NO! And I'm Pinkamena, Pinkie is dead! Like all of her friends, she died that day in Appleloosa. Anyone who remembered her died when Ponyville was attacked, like Mister Cake, Matilda, Granny Smith, Gummy...and the others. And soon you're going to join the rest of your kind, in Tartarus!"
With that Pinkie swings down her knife right at your head. Your eyes widen as you try to save your hide by quickly asking...
"H-how? How did you kill all the changelings?"
The blade stops inches away from your skull as Pinkie lets out an insane laugh before she says with a sadistic smile,
"How? With plenty of metal and fire that's how,"
"But why? Why kill all the changelings when The Nightmare is out there?" you ask.
She glares at you as she says,
"I already told you, I made sure that none of them became the Nightmare!"
You glare back (which is probably not a good idea) as you say,
"That's not true and you know it! There can only be one Nightmare and there is one! The Changelings could never become it. What's the real reason for that senseless genocide?!"
She stops, and anger returns to her face.
"Senseless?...SENSELESS?!" she fumes.
You gulp, but continue.
"I mean surely you could've used their help in a time like this? Maybe through sheer numbers they could have..."
"THEY LAUGHED!!!" she roars at you all throwing the knife to the side.
"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 laughed... and then all the other bugs started laughing like it was the funniest joke they'd ever heard...heh heh, hahahahahahaha!!!!"
The laughter is emotionless and creepy...and a bit heartbreaking coming from her. She glares into your eyes and stops abruptly as a chainsaw blade juts out of her prosthetic arm.
"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.
"Now they'll never laugh again...They deserved it. And no, maybe they wouldn't become another Nightmare, but I figured, 'Hey, the Nightmare's a Changeling, so I'll kill his friends and family like he killed mine!'" she says before gripping the starting pull handle with her other arm,
"And since you're Horde Cultists..." she revs the chainsaw before screaming, "YOU'RE ONE OF HIS OWN!'" she says as she raises her chainsaw arm and it looks like she's gonna slice you up for sure when...
“Stand Down Pinkamena!”
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 Pinkamena," finishes Cadenza.
Pinkie sighs before she sits on her haunches and sheathes her chainsaw back into her arm.
“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."
They seemed shocked by this. While all you can do is roll your eyes and say,
"Wow, way to be subtle Doc."
"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 nickname is "Celie", your first cake was a chocolate and Red Velvet given to you for your 10th Birthday, and you're the Queen of Pranks." she looks shocked.
The Doctor then points to Luna as he says,
"You were Nightmare Moon, you had a pet Manticore whom you've never forgotten, and Princess Platinum ended up firm friends with you and accepted your right as a princess... after being totally humiliated and ejected from the castle at high speed." Luna looks shocked by this.
You stare at Luna in confusion as you think,
She had a pet Manticore... why does that make sense to me?
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. I rescued you as a baby and dropped you off in the forest to be adopted by Earth Ponies before you were adopted as Celestia's niece"
You just have a blank look as you think,
...Whaaaaaaaattttttttttttt!? And how did the Doctor do that if he didn't exist in thi- Owowow! Paradox-induced headache!
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."
Derpy stays quiet, but you being you can't help but say,
"Yo!"
"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 a while on this bloody rock!" he chides when...
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.
*KA-BOOM*
An explosion blows up the wall next to you.
"Whoops, our bad!" shout a familiar pair of voices.
While everypony is distracted, you spot a tray of assorted cupcakes on a nearby table. Getting an idea you declare,
"FREE CUPCAKES ON ME!"
Before tossing the whole tray at the ponies, some of the sweet pastries splattering on the princesses harmlessly while a 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!"
"Whelp, that's our cue, ALLONS-Y!" the Doctor shouts as he drags you two out the newly made hole in the wall.
As he drags you out (after falling into a bush since you were on the second floor), you look over to see Flim and Flam working on some giant-techno-cannon-thing. But that's all you can tell as the Doctor quickly drags you off.
BACK WITH THE PRINCESS
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).
"Sister, should we trust this 'Time Lord?' For all we know he was just one of the Nightmare's Cultists."
Celestia sighs as she says,
"I don't know sister, but this is the best chance of stopping the Nightmare once and for all. We'll just hope our forces in Las Pegasus can hold him off long enough for this Doctor to fix his time machine."
Cadence gets a sad look when Celestia says this as she says,
"Aunty... about the Nightmare being in Las Pegasus."
One explanation later
Celestia, Luna, and Pinkie have looks of pure horror on their faces as Celestia says,
"Mother of me! This is not good, not good at all!"
Luna, snapping out of it nods her head at her sister's words as she says,
"It is dear sister. We sent our forces to the wrong location! Las Pegasus is west of here, while Fillydelphia is east. If there's no one distracting the Nightmare now...."
Celestia's eyes widen in move in horror as she says,
"Then there's nothing from stopping it from coming here! Sound the alarms and arm the troops! The Nightmare could be here at any minute! PINKAMENA!"
Pinkie salutes at her name (having just gotten the sprinkles out of her eyes) as Celestia continues,
"Get to the Doctor and his companions now! If they're telling the truth then they are our only hope of ending this. When the Nightmare gets here they must not be stopped from fixing their machine. Protect them at all costs!"
Pinkie looks dejected as she says,
"But Princess you need me to fight the Nightmare! Besides, I'm gonna gut that trenchcoat-wearin-"
"THAT IS AN ORDER PINKAMENA DIANE PIE!!!" Celestia roars in the RCV causing Pinkie to slightly falter from the force of the shout, before she growls softly and says,
"Yes your highness."
With that she jumps out of the hole to find the Doctor.
Luna walks up to Celestia.
"Are you sure that was wise Sister? The last time you gave her an order, she murdered an entire species.
Celestia sighs as she says,
"If HE comes, her thirst for vengeance will distract him long enough that he shouldn't notice this Doctor or his friends...I just pray that they are telling the truth...."
"Sister..." Luna says in shock to the coldness of this plan, but is interrupted.
"Luna I want you to coordinate the defenses. I will contact Discord, Tirek, and the Griffin mercenaries."
Luna nods her head as she teleports somewhere. With it all said and done Celestia stares at the fallen city in sadness as Cadence asks,
"Aunty...what'll happen if this Doctor fails, or if we can't beat that monster?"
Celestia sighs again before she says,
"Then may the Maker help us all."
BACK WITH YOU, THE DOCTOR, AND DERPY
You all made it back to the TARDIS safe and sound, but judging by the alarm's going off and the panicking going on around you then there must be something bad coming, and soon.
You give the Doctor a small glare as you say,
"Never drag me again Doc! That hurt my hoof like heck!"
Shaking it off you ask,
"Anyway, we have the magic diffuser so let's fix the TARDIS and get out of here!"
The Doctor sighs sadly before he says,
"I wish it were that easy. We only have the diffuser, we still need a perfectly cut diamond about the size of a Polo Ball and some sort of power coupling to reverse the polarity of the neutron flow to fully fix the girl. Sadly neither of those were in the vault with the diffuser."
You sigh in annoyance as you say,
"Great! Not only do we not have all the parts to fix the TARDIS, but now you tell me the other parts aren't even here! Now we're gonna be stranded in this world for the rest of our lives with a psycho version of me trying the kill us! CAN THIS DAY GET ANY BUCKING WORSE!"
Suddenly you hear sirens going off all around Canterlot as civilians flee for shelter in a panic and guards of all races scramble to their stations.
You just HAD to invoke that cliche...
WHAT DO YOU DO?
After getting to the TARDIS and the Doctor securing the Dog Collar Diffuser, he turns to you.
“Alright, we’re going to have to find that Diamond.”
“ Does it really have to be the size of a polo ball?” you ask.
“Well technically it could be larger, but just so long as it can reflect the…” he then starts talking in techno-babble that you don’t understand.
“Alright, and where are we going to find that?”
“Well we have a few options, there are vast caverns within this mountain that have many kinds of gems, but bunkers and shelters have been made within them” he explains.
“Aren’t those the caverns Cadance was thrown in?” you ask.
“The very same, another option is we can try and take one from a celebrity or noble.”
“I say we go rob Blue(No)Balls, surely he can part with some,” you guess.
“Unfortunately, he fled Equestria weeks ago, taking his fortune with him,” the Doctor says in disgust.
“Greedy B&$%@#*, still I say we rob his house” you swear.
“But fortunately there are still enough rich folks here, like Fancy Pants, Sapphire Shores, and others, surely they might have some.”
“Alright, so rob the rich first, if that fails, we go mining?”
“Pretty much,” the Doctor cheerfully says.
Fancy Pants is helpful when you break in, get caught, and explain your conversation
Sapphire Shores…You kind of nerded/perved out when hiding in her closet and see her dressing in her yoga pants.
“If I’m going out, I’m going out looking good,” she says to herself in the mirror.
Blood shoots out your nose, and you are mentally slapped by Selena.
After a few more failed attempts, you check on Nightshade. Still sleeping.
“Yeesh, hey baby, come on, you were moving past this,” you say while shaking her.
“Don’t, she shouldn’t see this world, not what we’ve become,” says Selena.
You agree and wrap a blanket around her.
Definitely the Plasmids and Vigors. Nothing says badass more than rewriting your very DNA to manipulate the Elements. Take the Fight To The Magically Overpowered!
Also, Chapter 77, Woohoo! My Lucky Number!
HERE COMES TOM!
Out of everything that bugzee has ever got, The Power Glove was the most useful weapon and the cloak from the doctor was the most useful piece of clothing.
Most useful item? POWAH GLOVE! Also I wonder if smaug could be of any help *hint hint* *nudge nudge*. Or more precisely his hoard. Half of it to be exact...
The most usefull? The Power Glove
------------
"Come on Doctor, how is that you don't know where to put that?" Ask Bugzee
"Well... I now that I have a manual around here, but I don't know where I put it..." Comment The Doctor
Bugzee, Derpy and the Doctor separate around the TARDIS and begin to search when suddenly they listen as if something hit the door of the TARDIS. Something very powerfull
"Gah! Doctor, what was that?" Asked Bugzee
The sound begin to repeat, as something hit the door every couple of seconds, scaring them. The Doctor press a buton in the console and a screen appear, in the exterior Pinkamena try to enter and charge to the door.
"How is going the manual?" Asked Bugzee
"We are still searching!" Say The Doctor
Bugzee take the comic, thinking that maybe the answer is in there when he find a talk between The Doctor and Derpy in the TARDIS instead of searching. Just when Bugzee was going to ask them, a voice talk from their back.
"Try to search under the kitchen table" Say the voice
"Of course! I put in there because the table was moving a little too much, thank you Pinkamena" Say The Doctor
Just then they all look and they see Pinkamena in the TARDIS
"PINKAMENA!" Shout all of them
"How did he get in?" Ask Derpy
"Uhhh... Maybe I forgot the anti-Pinkie shield that make her unable to enter with her strange powers?" Ask The Doctor
"Exist a Anti-Pinkie shield?" Ask Bugzee
"That's not important Bugzee, Pinkamena is here" Say The Doctor
"Did you say Bugzee? You are the hooded offender!" Say Pinkamena as she look angry to Bugzee, not even The Stare of Fluttershy could be compared to how she looked.
"Ups" Say The Doctor
------------------
A question... Nightshade can wake up?
Big Daddy's armour.
6136316 Um... I doubt she is supposed to find that out yet.
-----
"Whatever it is the sirens are for... we should find out what it is! And fast!", you tell them, regretting your rash words from before.
As you move to leave the Tardis, you hear a voice: "Bugze! Wait!"
You turn around, sighing: "But we need to find out why the sirens are ringing."
The Doctor looks at you, before laughing. "And you seriously doubt that we can find that out WITHOUT going after it?"
You smile, and begin to say: "Well, there is no wa... You know something I don't ,don't you?"
"Let me present to you: The interstellar and -chronic broadcast-messager! Fully functional Television, at any point in the galaxy for any show at any time. Even any episode, and useful for finding out what is causing others to panic WITHOUT running into the fray."
As you go back into the Main-Control-Room, you see said TV. Currently, it flackers, before it seems to... zoom in? Slowly you can make out what is being broadcasted...
You see what seems to be a crimson changeling, transparent and surrounded by a pitchblack, lightblocking substance.
"To whoever finds this... You have to stop us! I have lost to what is widely known as 'Shadow', just like those seen in the games of "Ponysona", but that is not important! We are heading towards a large city..."
"Oh? See! That's what you are. Weak, pathetic, needing to hope others do your work. You could be so much more..."
"I just got an idea... That red changeling, could he be you? Or, well, this universe's you? And in this you had noone to defend you against the Shadow... I most likely had supported it here."
At this point a tentacle of the pitchblack drills into the shadow.
"You don't have much time...", he coughs blood at this, "I was able to reduce the power of us so far... but I will vanish soon. Heh, I knew I was going to die a long time ago... the moment they took over first. It's a miracle I still live..."
The tentacle pumps darkness into him, dark venes are visible and pulsing around him.
"...I feel glad that's not me. Very glad. But of course I'm not that, you would never be able to do that, you wouldn't have the gals to do that."
This universes "Real Bugze" shatters... and you can see a version half as big. Its outer half was lost to the substance.
"Help... Even after all, they don't deserve what's coming to them..."
"What did I miss?", Pinkamena said, suddenly appearing behind you.
"AH!", you shout, stumbling over the seat you sat in while watching trying to get away.
Most useful item? If it counts, then his books. Y'know, the one/s containing all those awesome fighting moves that have made Bugze into more of a Godze?
most useful item was his plasmid glove thingy or his falcon punch thingermerbob
Most useful item is the Luna Plushie.
Among the defenses you see Luna coordinating troops and temporary cause gaps in the shield surrounding Canterlot so airships can take off and take position around the city, a squad of Minotaurs helping to push the Flim Flam brother's weapon into position, Diamond Dogs digging trenches... with the help of a giant worm, and... BonBon (must be this universe's BonBon instead of that agent who was helping you) riding a giant Bugbear?
====================
Seeing how we're this far in the season, time for expositional callbacks! Ask the Doctor for more info about how he found out about Nightmare Bugze,
"So Doc, how DID you find this dimension in the first place?"
"Well... do you still have that note that Derpy gave you?"
"You mean that note she gave me after you saved me from the Princesses after I used my nightmare powers for the first time to protect Nightshade which also constantly reminds me of my debt which has gotten me into countless bad places cause of you?" (See "Episode 33: WHY ME!!!" and "Episode 34: I HATE The Woods!") you say in a deadpan tone that was totally not a rushed attempt at exposition,
"Yes." yes responds.
"I do." you say as you take out the Note with your debt to The Doctor and it reads,
Dear Bestest Best Friend Bugze,
Hi its me Derpy.
So your feeling okay right?
You hit your head pretty hard on the Doctors control panel thingy.
Oh well... sorry I can't talk to you in person.
The Doctor said I can't because of some sort of 'wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey' thing.
I honestly don't know what hes talking about half the time (Don't tell him I said that).
Oh right, The Doctor told me to tell you that we fed uh hold on a second
Okay I'm back.
So I asked The Doctor what this little sweet filly's name is.
Huh...Oh right.
We fed Nightshade but oh muffin did she have a appetite.
I have a list attached to this letter of all the food she ate.
I hope we can meet again soon Bugze.
Love,
Derpy
After skipping the page that lists all the food Nightshade ate (which is alot), you continue,
And Bugze, she said this was all a snack! And they were all extra large servings! Oh, The Doctor told me you owe him this much:
10,000,000,000,000,000 bits.
Hope you have enough to pay!
P.S.
The Doctor tells me that the food is a tiny part of the cost.
The real cost came from having to fix the TARDIS as you kinda broke the control panel thingy with your head.
Because of that, the TARDIS couldn't move and we got hit by Princess Luna's attack making us arrive in this city that's like Cloudsdale, but made of rock and metal instead of clouds and full of these scary monkey creatures that were hurting each other with fire, hooks, bombs, and loud metal sticks.
We managed to escape after getting hit alot more, but the Doctor had to quickly drop you in the some forest a few minutes after we picked you up at the castle so he could fix the TARDIS.
"Well..." the Doctor says, "The TARDIS did go straight from the Castle to the Everfree and the note was originally just the first part and the list, but after I dropped you and Nightshade off, the TARDIS was more damaged than I thought and we landed in... here. When Derpy and I escaped, I was determined not to let this future happen so I went back to where I dropped you, only to find you already awake and reading the note. So I had Derpy create a startling distraction to make you drop the note while I quickly zipped in and attached the third sheet with a made-up story about this debt you owe me and some fantastic story about apes destroying each other with hooks and spells in a flying city.
"Wait, you were that ghost sound?" you ask in surprise.
"Actually, that was Derpy."
"Thank Celestia for frogs." Derpy comments.
"Anyway, then Derpy and I got back into the TARDIS to meet you at a later time-"
"Then why didn't you bail me out at the Gala when everypony wanted to beat the stuffing out of me and I almost destroyed them all in turn when Selena took over?!" you interrupt.
"Wait... What gala?"
"You know, the Bland Boring Ball where the Deadly 6 were and I performed a rock concert and Blueballs got his hooves on my daughter so I gave him the Nutshot to end all Nutshots." you explain, "You showed up when all the groups were arguing over who got to fight me first when you showed up in the TARDIS, but just grabbed a plate of food instead of helping me!" (See "Episode 68: Brawl At The Gala! Wrath Of The Hooded Offender! (Season Finale Part 5)")
"Oh... that must be where I go in the future."
"What?" you ask in confusion.
"Yes, and now that you've TOLD me that, I can't help you at the Gala since you've now made that a Fixed Point in Time since now I know the exact date in time when I don't help you which shaped this moment that we're having now which means after this, I now need to go back specifically to not help you. That explains why the TARDIS zipped me to a Canterlot who's ballroom was still being rebuilt..."
"Wait- Did I even bucking meet you yet? I mean what about when I got lost in that castle with the Weeping Pegasus hiding from Applejack and Rarity? Was that our 'first meeting'? And if you never existed in this universe, then shouldn't that mean you never saved me from Princess Luna which means I should be dead so the Nightmare never happened and thus you never needed to put me in the debt even though you should've cause of everything that's happened and- Oh no, I've gone cross-eyed!"
"That's my thing!" Derpy exclaims.
"Look," the Doctor interrupts, "if I start going into any more detail about time travel, then we'll be here all day drawing interlocking diagrams on multiple chalkboards. And that is time we do not have."
"Wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey." Derpy adds.
"So I just need to 'suspend my disbelief' and ignore all the inconsistencies like I'm watching an Applewood blockbuster?" you ask.
"Pretty much." Derpy answers for the Doctor.
"Fine... As long as I don't need to go back in time to pass a history test while protecting my future mother from a dozen monkeys with butterflies or anything crazy like that."
Try to spot how many time travel movies I referenced with just that one sentence...
=========================
In a panic at seeing the pink psycho (who off-hoofedly mentions trying to give "smiles" to the commenters, only to give up on that idea when one of the commenters turned out to be a Tatzlwurm that body-slammed her like a whale), you whip out the Power Glove and declare,
"WOULD YOU KINDLY BUZZ OFF!"
At the "Insect Swarm" plasmid, a small cloud of bees comes out of your arm holes and attacks Pinkamena...
*slice slice slice*
Only for her to quickly and nonchalantly slice all the bees in half with a few swishes of twin knives.
You're then about to try to use the last "Mix-Up Smash" (which would render the Glove useless for this arc as it would shut down to recharge) as Selena decides to just buck the Doctor's orders and activate the Nightmare Cloak to crush the pink psycho, but something stops you...
================
AT THE CASTLE
Celestia quickly casts a spell and her horn starts glowing as she says,
"Captain Gray Wing, you need to-"
"Call us back to Canterlot because the Nightmare is on its way from the east?" the Griffin responds in a voice in Celestia's ear.
"What? How did you know?" Celestia says stunned.
"Lieutenant Gilda spotted it with her superior Griffin eyesight. We are moving to intercept and engage."
"What?! NO, fall back to Canterlot now!" Celestia orders.
"We are Griffins! We are the greatest warriors in the world and never fall back from anything!" Gray Wing boasts.
"You don't have the proper backu- I mean equipment! You're no match for it!" Celestia says with panic in her voice.
"There's only one of him and we're a WHOLE BATTALION! Just one squad can crush him like a roach! Speaking of which, Rumi Squad, engage! "
"NO! I ORDER YOU TO FALL BACK TO CANTERLOT NOW!!!" Celestia roars in the Royal Canterlot Voice with a hint of panic, but what she hears next...
*thud* "Squack!" *splort* "No, nononono-" *foosh* "AHHHHHHHHHH!!" *slice* "THAT'S NO BUG! IT'S A PLUCKING MONSTER! RUUUUU-" *SMASH*
"All Griffins, ATTACK!!! We got the numbers so we- What the pluck is that?"
He is interrupted when there's the sound of a large explosion and a distorted voice yells,
"KFCCCCCCCCCC!!!"
Suddenly the room Celestia is in shakes briefly. Her eyes widen as she thinks,
No... that means he's close!
"No... that's not possible." she hears Grey Wing say with terror in his voice, "W-WH-WHAT THE PLUCK ARE YOU?!"
She then hears footsteps and distorted laughter coming closer and closer,
"No, NO! Stay back!"
There's the sound of wings flapping in a panic followed by a sickening crunch and a howl of pain from the Griffin,
"GRAAAAH!!! LET ME GO!!! PLEASE!!! BY THE LOST IDOL OF BOREAS! I ORDER YOU TO LET-*TEAR*"
Then there's only silence before the Monarch of the Sun turns off the spell...
==============
Most useful item is the Inventory for holding all his items (and daughter)
Also, it looks like Pinkamena might be coming after u-
"You're the one who commented to drop a piano on my head... *revs chainsaw* Prepare to di- *Looks up and eyes shrink* Oh buc-"
*SLAM*
Being a Tatzlwurm has it's advantages...
I think it's the power glove.
gotta say the books he learned his moves from, without that he couldn't have progressed. Also i can't wait to see the part in next chapter where bugzee is forced to fight the nightmare. i have a suggestion for how that goes down xD
"Pinkamena what are you doing here?" the doctor asked backing away
"Don't be scared I'm on your side now"
"Why is that?" you ask
"Because the princesses ordered me to take good care of you." She replied with a grin on her face
I don't like the sound of that. you thought then hear Selena voice
I think we can use this to our advantage
How! she is going to stab us in the back when we fix the TARDIS! you explained
True but she can't harm us if we make a... Pinky promise.
Are you crazy! I already broke plenty of those in the past what makes you think I won't brake this one. thinking back to the time how you almost felt Pinky's raff.
Because she never brakes a Pinky promise.
"It true I never brake a promise." Pinkamena said interrupting your thoughts?
... Did she just ...
Make the promise you idiot! Selena shouted
"Pinkamema you pink promise not to harm me, Derpy and the Doctor while we fix this nightmare." ask you make the promise you watched here do the actions of the pinky promise.
"Cross my heart, hope to fly stick a cupcake in my eye!" Finishing up with your hoof in your eye.
Pinkamena added to your party
"Remember never brake a pinky promise" Pinkamena said
"What happens if I do brake the promise?" you ask
Giggle "Pinky Brakes YOU." she replied with a creepy smile on here face.
...mummy...
----------------------------------------------------------
I would say the potion that makes him BST it has kept him save when he is in Ponyvile. That reminds how many of those do we have left because we might need to get some more soon.
Most useful item? The perception filter the Doctor gave him, purely because knowing Bugze, he would've given himself away unintentionally within five minutes without it.
The hooded offender cloak.
I wonder if Pinkamena killed Grandbuggy in the genocide of the changelings.
And his most useful item is the inventory, because it can hold all that stuff.
Explosions sound outside as you continue your quest. Trying to ignore that, you keep watch for any Guards while the Doctor works.
"Did you meant it back there?" Derpy asks.
The Doctor stops to look at her, brow raising. "Huh?"
"You know, being able to stop the Nightmare in this world."
He pauses to consider the question, then says, "Well, it's not like we are the only ponies to stop him. They have Pinkemena here! I'm sure she could take care of this world's Bugze."
"Yeah," you pipe in. "No kidding. Do you see how she just kept going back up? It's like she's immortal or something!"
Derpy seem to stare, a frown forming and a lazy eye straightening, as if she isn't satisfied with his answer. "Then why are we stalling?"
Now THAT makes you stop in shock, but the momentum forces you to trip over yourself and fall, slamming into a wall. "Wait, what?!" you shout, getting back up.
The Doctor is speechless, stuttering when he tries to say, "I, uh, D-Derpy! What are you talking about?"
"You know we've crashed before, Doctor, and we never run around finding these things."
"But this is different!" The Doctor excuses.
"But we've crashed from worse! Even I made bigger dents into the Tardis than Bugze, and we never do this!" Derpy sternly said. Surprisingly, you discover that whenever her eyes are straight, she's like a hard mother talking to a foal. Or maybe it is the other way around... Anyways, by that exchange, you see the Doctor just looks away, not denying it. After a moment, Derpy's expression softens. "I know you. You never turn away from ponies in need, even if they're from an entirely different universe. So, Doctor, what on Equis are we building?"
What you see next stuns you. There it is, the spark in The Doctors eyes, something heroic... and perhaps an unyielding force of will behind it all. "...Something to stop the Nightmare. To prevent it from truly coming to complete its destruction, stopping it in its tracks."
Still, even despite his short and sudden charismic display of attitude, you still want to wring his neck for lying! However, something stops you. In his words, something... Stuck out to you. And it makes you feel like an idiot, more so than the last few times. "Oh! OH, Buck!" you suddenly shout. "I almost bucking forgot!"
"What?" The Doctor incredulously looks at you. "Bugze, what are you talking about?"
"I meant to ask you about it, but I never really got the chance until now!"
"Spit it out, Bugze, we are still on the run!"
"Look, through out my time in Ponyville, I've been getting these... Images of a message. Noling could see it but me. Even Selena couldn't see it either. Every message is the same: 'The Nightmare Comes'."
"...I'm afraid I don't quite understand the issue."
"I'm not crazy, Doc! Flagburner heard the message, too!"
"Wait, what?!"
"Yeah, and he said someling told him about it, told him to make the Fillydelphia Incident back at Harthswarming happen!" Finally, you've finally got tell him that! Even though you were still running, it's still good to get it off of yourself. "Besides, if our universe is already saved from the Nightmare, then why is the 'Nightmare' still coming?"
Doctor is yet again in shock, but this time it is in fear. Visible, unadulterated fear. "Our problem, I realize, is a whole lot worse than I thought."
"Why is it, Doctor?" Derpy asks.
"Well, really, it's just that the stakes are a whole lot higher now. It's only a theory, but I hope it is wrong," he began. "This universe's Bugze has hatred so big, that it can leak into another universe—our universe! If we let it continue, and if the Nightmare succeeds into taking over this world, then the Nightmare would come into ours." Then he muttered darkly, still loud enough for you to hear, "And many lives will inevitably be lost in our world in the aftermath."
"In other words, we have two bucking worlds on our hooves, and the big baddy is my other self?" you ask.
The Doctor grimly nods.
"Buck you, Lady Luck!"
The answer MUST be the inventory.. or else all the other gadgets couldn't be held anywhere.
YES! I GOT SOMETHING IN! Maybe the secret ingredient is a reference!
And.. I really got nothing on this one.. Browndog's got it handled. I'm not needed.
(For now. Huehuehue.)
I imagine a Pinkamena promise is "Cross my heart, hope to die, stick a Needle in my eye."
The Inventory is the best. It's fireproof, watertight (I think), and it has held all his other items and people in it. It's been a convenient way to make things disappear.
I agree with Grey Rebl's comment about the Doctor running around for an ulterior motive. Although I feel like Nightshade will appear in the epic battle between Bugze and Nightmare Bugze, creating a window of opportunity for all parties involved to combine for a massive attack that leaves the Nightmare incapable of moving long enough for the Doctor to put the collar on him, draining all his power, not letting him die, but keeping him powerless. (Since the Doctor is not always forgiving.)
I'm back bitches, and I see none of you care, or remember who I am especially since I changed my username again, good luck figuring out my identity.
now, without reading about half this story's chapters after I stopped following it ( because TLDR) I will now type my comment and hope it's added.
with an outdated smart phone.
then I will go back to ignoring this story once more. (because TLDR)

(insert time of day here because I don't know if the world's locked in eternal twilight or whatever at this point in the story, but if it's not it should be around night time or sunset. )
Dimond Hiest
Difficulty: This Is Impossible +145
You once more looked into the skylight and double checked to make sure your mask is on tight.
"OK bug- um sorry, what was your completely unnecessary codename again? " the static-laced voice of the doctor asked through your headset.
" Cains" you reply, after sighing heavily.
at that a chuckle came through your head set to your mild annoyance "OK 'cains' are you sure you want to rob fancy pants, the only pony with security and a vault matched only by the one they use to store the elements of harmony, wearing nothing but a suit, tie, and a clown mask?"
oh not this again....
"I mean seriously I have like tons of different outfits and stuff to wear that's better suited for this!"
"like what?"
let's see, uh, there's a cardboard box, a lamp shade, the Nanosuit 2.0 and the ring of fog. lotsa stuff. better than a suit and a clown mask. "
you rolled your eyes as you prepared to once more explain your odd choice of apperal.
"look doc, how many times do I have to tell you, if your trying to pull off a hiest of any kind, you HAVE to look good while doing it, or, at least that's what pinkie would say after beating me with a spiked club for an hour. or at least I hope that's what she ment when she said she would 'break' me."
" um.. OK then, if you get in a tight spot and cant hide in the safe and comforting walls, that only a cardboard box could provide don't blame me. so, I'm guessing you at least know the plan? "
" uhh...."
"we spent two hours going over... nevermind, use the glass cutter to cut a hole in the glass, and get comfy because it's going to take about 4 minutes."
pulling the circular, and somewhat large metal glass cutter the doc gave you earlier out of the inventory you place it on the glass, the magic enchantment on it assuring it wouldn't move in any way or form once placed, and flick the switch to 'on', watching as a screen on the cutter power on displaying 'Estimated Time: 240 Seconds' with a progress bar on the bottom, and in that moment your head set once more came to life.
"one more thing 'cains' - look I'm sorry I just can't say it anymore, It's just to ridiculous... and it sounds stupid. "
"Fine, that was pinkies idea anyway. "
" anyway as I was saying, the glass cutter might jam occasionally at inconvenient times for no apparent reason, so, uh, if it does just turn it off for five seconds, then turn it on and off really fast until you hear two beeps."
"doc, I thought you said this was state of the art! "
"it's state of the art for 5 bits. "
" that explains a lot... "
you sighed as the cutter's display changed from Blue to red and gave out a high pitched beep as it jammed.
this was gonna be a long 4 minutes.
*4 minutes and 15 resets later*
" finally! "
you cried out as the cutters display changed to 'complete' grabbing the device in your mouth and dropping it in the newly created hole, you then carelessly jumped into the perfect hole in the skylight.
keyword being skylight.
at least you didn't break your neck when your face collided with floor below.
you get back on your hooves while rubbing your sore nose, hopeing no one heard or saw your break-in as the doctor began to give you your next objective.
"alright doc I'm in."
"OK, now you got the codes right? "
"it's the key card right? "
"yeah, you see the vault?"
turning around, you see the vault along with multiple lazers
" yeah. "
" great now don't try to do any Ninja stuff with those Lakers there spaced way to closely together, you'd look extremely awkward and the vault door itself would trip them when you open it anyway, and trust me when I say this you don't want to get caught, I hear fancy pants has an army of ponys on standby."
"wait I don't have to do that ninja stuff? "
" not quite, you see there's an alarm box on the 2nd floor, I think it's in sapphire shores guest room, in the closet you gotta hookup with that tablet I gave you."
"that's what that was for? eh OK.... wait sapphire shores is here?! "
" yeah I heard she was staying the night for whatever reason"
[insert squee here]
the walk to the second floor was mostly uneventful since the guards patrolling seemed to be deaf and nearsighted, the only time you nearly got caught was when you turned a corner and almost came face first with a guard, but you quickly pulled back and he never seemed to notice... weird.
entering the closet in the guest room sapphire shores was currently staying in with the alarm box, you open it up and plant the tablet, it like the cutter, displaying 'Time remaining 240 Seconds'
"hey doc what's up with these guards they seem... out of it.. "
" from what I heard there running on nothing but coffee and an anti sleep spell, I think they work 3 days a week straight, no breaks. "
" that sounds horrible... "
" but I think there paycheck is about 1, 000 bits an hour."
"where can I sign up? "
" just watch the tablet bugze.."
"fine.. at least this can't jam like that cutter. "
" actually I didn't finish writing the code yet, so it might divide by zero and the override could slow down significantly or stop altogether, so if it does just turn it off for about ten seconds and turn it on again. "
" doc, this closet isn't exactly comfy..... "
"shut up and watch the tablet bugze. "
*1 minute and 14 resets later *
sapphire shores walks in the room then this.
*2 minutes and 25 resets later*
the screen on the table now displaying 'complete' you silent crawl out of the closet and start to head back down to the vault, witch where now missing it's hundreds of lazers.
" alright doc you can open the doors remotely right? "
" yeah opening it now."
"hey doc I saw like lots of Diamonds that kept changeing color in display cases that looked about the right size, wouldn't it be easier to take those instead?"
"nah those are rainbow gems, It would only reflect light in the way I need it if they where blue, and they change color constantly. "
" yeah but it'd be so much easier to- "
just then your conversation was interrupted by the vault doors opening with a sound that seemed eerily similar to that made by scratching a chalk board, only louder.
" sweet Celestia doc! I think everyone in the building heard that! "
" relax bugze there probably to out of it to notice. "
------------
" hey..... did..... did you hear something? "
a guard said to his partner who was half asleep.
"i.... dunno.... sounded like some pony was scratching a chalk board...."
"yeah... that, *yawn* would explain it."
----------------
walking into the vault you look around and see gems of all shapes and sizes.
"alright bugze to your left should be a big metal door, get over there and put the codes in. "
" what about all these gems here? I count at least twenty Diamonds that are about the right size."
"because if you cut, break, or so much as touch the glass on the display cases the alarm will go off, and they'll swarm you with guards. "
" fine."
approaching the metal door you look through the small glass window to see a Dimond the perfect size for the job... behind a glass display.
"hey doc the Dimond looks like it's behind a glass display like the others, how am I supposed to.... "
" once you get past the door use the glass cutter to get past the display"
"wouldn't that set off the alarm? "
" nah, whoever was enchanting the display cases forgot to set this one up so the alarm would trip if the glass was cut, don't break it though, it will go off if you break it. "
" umm OK then..... "
fetching the key card with the codes you slide it on the terminal (that's what there called right?) and then the alarm went off.
" umm... doc!? i-I don't think think the codes worked! "
" what?! those codes cost a fortune! you know what I had to do in a back ally to get those?! OK, ugh they must have changed very recently, or Intel was super fresh!"
"OK so what do I do now?!"
"um..... hope the don't break every bone in your body? "
in that moment a guard ran in and yelled " there he is! get him! "
" wait, wait I can explain! "
or at least you could if they hadn't dog piled you.

Welcome back... whoever you are. Which chapter did you stop reading at cause I might be able to message you a quick recap of what happened between there and here.
After getting your clown suit ripped up, escape with help from Pinkemena who scares off their sleep-deprived minds with her chainsaw arm. You both run back to the Doctor and quickly change back into the "Baker Sylvester Tennant" (Yellow and black striped pants, White Panama hat, Brown Overcoat, and face mask) outfit while Derpy distracts Pinkemena, only for the Doctor to tell you that you've:
-Gotten the wrong gemstone
-Accidentally chipped it in the melee rendering it useless.
