(what, I liked it)
Kersey's Comment
As the dust cloud starts to settle, nopony dares to make a move as beneath the cloud lies the most dangerous deadly creature in all of Equestria. The thing that has destroyed a city in a day, a countryside in a week, and the entire world in only a few months. Thousands (if not millions) have perished to this... thing's madness, nopony was safe. It didn't care who or what you were, if you could bleed it hunted you. This is the thing that caused the princesses to give up their thrones to their greatest enemies just to defeat it.What horrible demented roar will this... abomination give?
Suddenly a Nightmare Tail shoots out of the dust cloud... and it's holding Captain Gray Wing's head like a puppet before a distorted voice says,
More nightmare tails then whip the dust away leaving the monster standing there before he- No, it, says,
"Meet the cure."
...
"Okay, maybe 'cure' in the same way a guillotine cures a head cold but our point (and this chicken's head) still stand, Hi T-*ZAP*"
The deranged version of you is interrupted when a nervous guard zaps him in the face. Everypony stares at the Nightmare in fear as he silently turns to stare at the guard. The guard looks at him in pure fear. However, the Nightmare just smiles as he shouts out gleefully,
BrownDog's Comment
“Oh Honey you shouldn't have!"
With that he launches a nightmare tail at the poor sap. It goes right through him! His eyes widen in shock and pain before they lose their living glow. The Nightmare crackles insanely before he shouts,
"Helloooo Canterlot! We're Baaaaacccckkkkk!”
This snaps the guards out of their shock over their fallen comrade. Soon, a wave of guards charges forth (blocking your view of the Nightmare) but a maddening cackle rings forth and you hear sickening snapping sounds,
“Snap, Crackle, Pop, Rice Krispies!!!” shouts the voice as you hear screams from the guard.
Anger begins to cloud your mind as you start to stride towards the Nightmare while preparing your Power Glove and shouting,
"That crazy motherbucker! I'm gonna-"
Your interrupted when the Doctor pulls you back and says,
"Bugze, you can't fight him just yet!"
"And why not?" you challenge.
"Because not only will the guards become disorganized with two "Nightmares" and attack you as well, you also will fail spectacularly."
"How spectacularly?" you ask.
"Bugze, you'd essentially be fighting a bigger, stronger, tougher, less restrained, and more deranged version of yourself, how do you think that will go?"
You come to the conclusion that that would be bad... Time Guard Bad.
*ding*
A light-bulb appears over your head as you say,
When the Doctor explains why you shouldn't attack Nightmare Bugze
"Ohh... You mean we're going by Timeguard rules!"
"Exac- Wait, what?"
"Yeah, 'same matter can not occupy same space' so if I punch him, we both get sucked into a horrific blob!"
The Doctor is about to correct you when Depry nudges him and says, "Yeah, sure."
"Ohh... You mean we're going by Timeguard rules!"
"Exac- Wait, what?"
"Yeah, 'same matter can not occupy same space' so if I punch him, we both get sucked into a horrific blob!"
"No, that's not h-" the Doctor tries to correct, but Derpy nudges him with her elbow and says, "Yeah, sure."
After thinking that over, you put the Power Glove away as you decide to try not to focus on this monstrosity. If you can get the diamond, you can end this-
*smash collapse*
Which is kind of hard, when a building near your group collapses when some Earth Pony Guards are violently thrown into it.
“Bugze, we have to go, now!” shouts the Doctor.
“What about Pinkie?”
As soon as you say this your eyes widen in realization as you shout,
"Wait Pinkie! That's it!"
With that said you rush over to her down form and start to...
Kichi's Comment
Shake Pinkie in a attempt to wake her up as you shout,
"Pinkie!!! Wake up and help!!"
But your attempts to wake her are in vain as she is still KO'd. You then look to the Doctor and ask,
"Doctor what can we do? We can't just leave her here! It's not safe" you hear a scream in the distance, "for anyling."
"Well nowhere is technically safe except for the TARDIS," the Doctor starts and you immediately pick Pinkie up and rush towards the Box, but it won't open.
You open up the phone panel and just start hitting random buttons.
"Oi! Cut that out!" the Doctor chides.
"The Buttons, they do nothing!"
*smack* But the Doctor stops you with a slap to the back of the head and says,
"Bugze! Relax! We're not gonna solve anything if you just keep panicking."
You take a deep breath and you start to calm down as you say,
"Okay...calming down. Doc, is there anything we can do right now, without the Diamond, to buy us and these ponies more time?"
Derpy puts on her thinking face before she asks.
"What about the Pandorica? Maybe we could lock him up that way?"
The Doctor shakes his head and says
"Too far, and frankly it would all but be impossible to hold him in there for long,"
You and Derpy nod your heads at this as you suggest,
"Maybe we could put all the survivors into the TARDIS and go to the other side of the planet?"
The Doctor shakes his head as he says,
"Even if the TARDIS wasn't too damaged to make even a trip to the other side of the planet, the Nightmare will still track us down."
"Maybe you could help us search for new bearers of the Elements of Harmony?" Says a voice coming from the phone.
"It's too late to select new- Wait... Who said that?"
The Doctor walks over to the phone and holds it up to his ear as the voice says,
"It's me...Celestia."
The Doctor gets a confused look as he asks
"How did you manage to get my number?"
"We didn't, somehow you called us on our emergency speaker."
The Doctor groans and looks over to you in annoyance as he says,
"See? This is what happens if you press random buttons on a phone!"
You just sigh in annoyance as the Doctor continues to talk with whoever it is on the phone. But you suddenly remember the future telling comic. You take it out and look and it and you see what's going on in the battle of Canterlot. You see that in some part of Canterlot the Dark unicorn was looking to the sky as he lead his group of ponies towards the Nightmare. You gulp in fear at what might happen to those ponies when they get here, but your snapped out of your thoughts when the Doctor hangs up on the phone and says,
"Well that was useless. Listen, I know you both want a solution now, hay, even I do. But the fact of the matter is we can't do a thing until we find that diamond. So come on Bugze, we need to get to the mines ASAP."
You nod your head as you follow the Doctor, but you remember why you freaked out in the first place as you ask the Doctor,
"But Doc, what about Pinkie? If you think I'm just gonna leave her here to the dogs then-"
Your interrupted when the Doctor sighs and says,
“Fine fine! Throw her in your saddlebags or something, just hurry, we can’t stay here!”
"Unconscious Pinkamena" added to Inventory.
Sure she’s a genocidal lunatic, but it’s all because of that monster so I'm not just going to let her die while lying helpless.
Shaking your head at those thoughts you turn towards the Doctor to say something when...
Pentakill Apocalypse's Comment
A small spark falls from a nearby collapsed building and lands on you, causing your trench coat to catch on fire almost instantly. Your stare at the flames in wonder at how pretty the fire is before you realize that you're the one on fire! You decide to act accordingly...
"AAAAAAAAAH PUT IT OUT PUT IT OUT!"
The Doctor and Derpy look at you in shock as the Doctor says,
"Bugze are you mad!? Do you want the Nightmare to find us?!"
You glare at the Doctor as you say,
"Oh my bad Doc. I'll keep my voice down even through I'M ON BUCKING FIRE!"
Derpy acts quickly to your problem as she takes the nearest bucket full of liquid and throws it on you, but it only causes the fire to grow even more!
The Doctor looks at the bucket in shock before his eyes widen in realization as he shouts,
"DERPY, THAT WASNT WATER, THAT WAS GASOLINE!"
Derpy gets a confused look as she asks
"What's gasoline?"
The Doctor shakes his head as he grabs another nearby bucket and throws it on you. Luckily this one is full of water, which puts you out. You sigh in relief, but you swear you hear Pinkie laughing at your misfortune from within The Inventory, but you shake it off as the Doctor sighs and says,
"Good, now that you're not on fire we can get back to business."
He then sighs sadly before looking at Derpy and saying,
BrownDog's Comment
“Ditzy, I need you to stay in the TARDIS.”
“What? No way, I’m going to help you,” she argues.
“The TARDIS is the safest place right now in this whole city, I need you safe,” he says.
“I’m not helpless Doctor,” she argues.
“Ditzy please! I NEED you to be safe,” he emphasizes as he holds her hoof.
“I’m the reason you’re here, I did my best to make sure this never came to be, and yet here we still are. I can’t lose you like I lost the others...” he says in sadness as he looks into her eyes. “You have a daughter to get back to…Please, stay here.”
Derpy has tears in her eyes, “But…who will watch out for you?” she whimpers.
“I’ve got Bugze, I’ll be alright. He’s so much like his Grandfather in many ways…” he says as he strokes her cheek.
You nod your head in agreement to the Doctor's comment, when what he said hits you as you ask in shock,
“Wait, back it up. What about my Grandbuggy?”
The Doctor doesn’t answer you, “Be safe Ditzy,” he says before he runs off.
"Doctor..." she whispers as he runs.
As you look at the wall-eyed pegasus, you get flashbacks to when you first met her in that ally in Ponyville. She has the same look of helplessness she had from back then. You decide to be a good friend as you hug her and whisper to her,
“We’ll be back, you be careful okay. The Doc's right, you got a daughter back home waiting to see your smiling face.”
Derpy sniffs a little as she hugs you back while saying,
“You too…look after him Bugze, please.”
You nod and follow after the Doctor. You eventually catch up to him and the two of you start to head towards the mines. As you do the both of you see,
SnapDrakeGame's
The Nightmare looking at all the guards menacingly. But that lasts for about bout four seconds before he's set upon by a squad of guards.
You and the Doctor take this chance to hide behind the rubble as the ponies rush at him, spears raised, but are quickly deflected as the Nightmare projects a magic shield of deep blue.
The Nightmare shoots out his nine fox tails, grabbing each of the guards in one. He then holds them up one at a time, as if choosing which brand of pasta to buy. "Nope," he says to the first guard. His tail tightens, and the guard is crushed in his grip. As blood leaks down the dark tail, NY moves on to the next guards. "Nope." *Crush* "Nope." *Crush* "Nope." *Crush* "Ah!" he leans closer to the guard, who quivers in fear at the Nightmare's approach. The Nightmare smiles insanely before he says,
"We remember you. Appleoosa. Figures you'd just gotten out of the hospital. Now tell us- look around you. What do you see?"
The guard glances around at the destruction around him. "Err- a t-tragedy. A w-w-waste of innocent life."
"We'd thought as much," NY mutters.
"Hey! There he is!" NY turns to see a huge squadron of guards cresting the piles of rubble, rushing towards him. NY smiles wickedly, glancing at the guard still wrapped in his fox tail. He holds him still, wrapping two other tails around his forelegs.
"Time for a psychology lesson," he tells his captive guard, before turning to the mass of soldiers before him.
"Ponies are ruthless!" he cries as he punches a guard into a building, reducing it to a mound of gravel in the process. "They alter everything to suit their needs, never giving thought to the consequences." NY flails his tails, knocking away several guards. One throws their spear at him. he grabs it and throws it back, piercing the guard through his chest.
"They just don't think, you see?" The Nightmare explains as he gores another pony with his horns. "They don't think as to the state of their enemies. They've no compassion for the opposite side." He ducks beneath the stabbing spears of two more guards, before he sweeps his fox tails to knock the guards off their feet. "They're white, the other side is black, and then the other side is dead before any questions can be asked. It's a right shame."
"Jeez," you mutter from your hiding place. "He's powerful as all heck, but he sure does like to talk doesn't he. Am I this melodramatic?"
Err- perhaps when our consciousnesses fused, your insanity and my flair for drama produced... that...
The guard is stuttering with incredible fear as the Nightmare turns and spots a small battalion of unicorn foals marching towards him. He turns to his prisoner, still shackled within his monstrous grip, and grins. "Look at this. Look at how easily they release their morals. The end justifies all means and no tactic is too inhumane for their enemies, because their enemies aren't equals. Their enemies aren't worthy of sympathy." The foals band together and charge up an enormous orb of dark magic, before hurling it at NY. He again conjures his energy shield, and the magic blast dissipates against the blockade. "It's just... look at these ponies. They've no vision. They can't see past the next hour, always got to live to the next hour, it'll be fine so long as I live to the next hour!" Swirling winds pick up as energy gathers and NY's horn. He fires an enormous beam of midnight blue at the foals, scattering them every which way with it's intense power. He turns and fixes his captive guard with another insane smile.
"Our dear friend, noling is going to live to see the next hour. Ha ha ah ah ahhha haha ha!!!"
He then abruptly stops his laughter as he glares at the guard, quaking with fear while wrapped in NY's tails. "Hmm. You know, you don't talk that much. That makes you boring. You're boring. We're done with you. Strawberry jam time!"
"What?!? No!?!" the guard cries. "My husband and children... you can't!"
"Oh, don't worry," NY grins as his coils begin to tighten. "We'll send them along after you. We have sympat- Wait, did you say husband?"
"Y-yes." The guard says in fear.
"But you're a stallion... Aren't you?" the Nightmare asks in confusion.
"Y-yeah, but we adopted!"
"Odd... But we were never one to discriminate. Orientation, gender, species, class, age; all dull details that ultimately don't matter. And do you know why?"
The guard just rapidly shakes his head in fear.
"Cause ALL will face the Nightmare!"
And then he throws back his head an laughs in rhythm to the symphony of screams and breaking bones.
You can only stare on in horrified shock.
"Welp, now that we've got the 'generic insane villain speech' checked off the rampage schedule, IT'S PARTY TIME!!!" the Nightmare cries, turning to dash off into the streets. But before he can get too far...
Kersey's Comment
"YAKS HELP PONIES! IF NIGHTMARE DESTROY PONIES, NIGHTMARE DESTROY YAKS NEXT! YAKS DESTROY NIGHTMARE!!!"
Everypony turns in the direction of the declaration to see that far beyond the fields around Canterlot approaches a regiment of armored battle-ready Yaks charging towards Canterlot.
"OI! WAIT YOUR TURN!!!" The Nightmare roars in the Royal Canterlot Voice before he uses his Nightmare Tails to lift himself into the air as he charges up a big orange-and-midnight colored attack ball of power in his hooves raised above his head. When the ball has reached the size of a 5 Buffalo, he roars,
"NIGHTMARE GRAVITY IMPLOSION!"
As he hurls the death ball at the Yak reinforcements still charging in over the horizon. The ball hits the center of the regiment and begins to violently suck all the Yaks into the center of the ball as it rotates in a sphere of screaming death before it explodes in a massive orange bubble from Tartarus.
As The Nightmare lowers himself back down, he turns to the gathered Guards and smirks,
"Now... where were we?"
Quite a few guards decide to answer his question by running away in terror (not surprising considering the display of power they just witnesses),
"Oh come on! We're not gonna use that on you guys! Where's the fun if the party's over too quickly?!" The Nightmare whines.
The Nightmare sighs in disappointment before he says,
"Fine...if you don't want the go to the party..."
He grins wickedly as he jumps onto a carriage as he screams,
"THEN I'LL BRING THE PARTY TO YOU!"
With that he hops on to a nearby carriage and uses his Nightmare tails to send it zooming down the street while singing,
You gulp in pure fear as you ask the Doctor,
"Uh Doc...remember when I tried to fight him?"
The Doctor nods his head, to which you say,
"Have I said thank you for that yet? Cause if I haven't, thank you soooo much!"
The Doctor nods his head as he says,
"Your welcome, now let's get to that mine before it's too late."
You nod your head as the both of you continue to run towards the mines. When you get closer to the mines the two of you have to hide behind some rubble as a patrol of fresh me-I mean guards walk by. As they do you overhear one of the guards ask,
"How did that monster sneak in here!? We had airships watching out for it 24/7?"
The guard next to him puts on a thinking face as he has a...flashback?
THE GUARD'S FLASHBACK
Captain Bronze Shield stood upon the bow of his airship. His ship was the only one on duty, the rest had to back down due to the scarceness of wood, as the nightmare had destroyed forests. Alongside him was Corporal Eagle Eye, known around the ranks for his superior eyesight, almost as good as a griffin's.
"See anything?" Bronze asked him.
"Nah, not really. Oh wait! I see something." He replied.
"What is it?"
"I dunno, it has big black tentacles and four orange eyes."
"THAT'S THE NIGHTMARE, AND IF YOU CAN SEE HIM, HE CAN SEE YOU!"
"Wait, I think he sees us."
"OBVIOUSLY!"
"Well, calm the buck down! His vision is based on movement, so if we stay still he won't see us"
"Are you foaling around? What makes you think Un-Extinction Park logic is going to help us?"
"Wait, where's the nightmare?" Eagle Eye asked as he turned around and saw the Nightmare picking up an expensive-looking Noble's carriage and preparing to throw it.
"Great Scott! Eagle, we have to go back!" Shouted Bronze Shield.
"He's got a carriage! Not that! ANYTHING BUT THAT!" Eagle Eye shouted as the carriage rushes towards the balloon keeping the airship afloat.
"He shot it! We're going down! We're going down!" Bronze Shield screamed as the balloon fell towards the shield and exploded
Meanwhile, a sentry noticed this and said, "That was way too Michael Beigh."
END OF THE GUARD'S FLASHBACK
The guards thinking face goes away as the flashback ends and he says nervously,
"I have um..no clue sir...heheheheh."
The other guard rolls his eyes as he says,
"Whatever Private. LET'S GO KICK SOME FLANK"
With that the other dead suc-I mean guards give a war cry before they charge at the Nightmare's location. You and the Doctor give a glance before the both of you shrug your shoulders and continue towards the mines. As the two of you continue to get closer to the mines you ask the Doctor,
"How close are we doctor?"
"We are almost there we just need to-" the doctor was about to finish his sentence but in the distance you see Sapphire Shore' making her way towards the mine entrance as well. But you notice a chunk of rubble was above her and was going to crush her.
"Sapphire LOOK OUT!" you shout and run at full speed to save her.
What are you doing? Are you trying to get us both killed?
The Doctor said I can't face the Nightmare, but he didn't say I can't save someling's life! you reply as you give all you got to save her.
Sapphire looks up sadly as she closes her eyes and says
"This is the end of the show for me."
Knowing that this is going to be close, you shut your eyes and take a heroic dive, hoping that you won't miss her.
...
Am I dead? I don't feel dead so I think I'm good. Should probably open my eyes now
With that thought you open your eyes to see that you are in fact alive...and that you are on top of a living Sapphire.
Sapphire begins to open here eyes. And thinking quickly you get off of her. She opens her eyes completely and looks around in confusion before looking at you and asking,
"What happened? I though it was the end of the show for me."
You help her up to her hooves while shifting your head to the rubble while saying,
"Well I ran in and saved you from being crushed by that rock."
Sapphire looks at the rubble and back at you before she begins to blush and says,
"My hero."
You blush softly at this before you chuckle nervously and ask,
"Listen this may be a bad time, you know the whole world ending and all that, but can I get your autograph?"
Sapphire looks at you for a second before she gives you a big grin and says while leaning closer to you,
"Even better how about back stage passes and dinner at a restaurant when this all over."
It is here where your mind exploded into tiny pieces as you yelled in your head,
OH MY LUNA! MY CELEBRITY CRUSH IS ASKING ME OUT! BEST APOCALYPSE EVER!
You hear a slight groan coming from Selena but you ignore it as you begin to say,
"Okay where should we-" Sadly your moment was interrupt by the doctor
Sorry Miss Sapphire, but he's already in a relationship" as he pushes you away from her. Sapphire looks a bit disappointed before she calls out,
"Wait! Befor you go take this backstage pass for my next show. If we're still here that is." she hands over the pass to you and you put in your inventory.
Sapphire Shore Backstage Pass added to The Inventory
"And this is my thank you." she said placing a kiss on your check which cause your nose to bleed. You start to stutter slightly as Sapphire makes a beeline for the mines. You eventually sigh as you think in happiness,
I am not washing this check ever again and that must be the forth mare that kissed me.
The Doctor snaps you out of it as he says,
"Focus Bugze, we need to find that Diamond!"
You don't hear that as you exclaim to him in sadness and anger,
"Why did you do that Doc?! I was this close to going out with my biggest celebrity crush!"
"Two reasons; One, You don't belong in this universe, and two; you're a better bug than to ruin your stable, if rather unorthodox relationship."
You give him a confused look as you say,
"Last I checked I was a single buggy geek. So unless I somehow started dating someling without knowing, there's no way I'm seeing someling. So who do you think I'm seeing?"
"Well, you're seeing- Wait, that didn't happen yet to you... Sorry mate but spoilers."
You give the Doctor a deadpanned look before you say,
"Buck you and Buck Lady luck for ruining my one chance of happinesses!"
Off in the distance the nightmare gives out an evil laugh
You and the Doctor gulp in fear as you say,
"Wonder what made him so happy?"
WITH THE NIGHTMARE
The Nightmare laughs as he...
Grabs a nearby water tower with three of his nightmare tails. He holds it as if it was a bowling ball as he aims at a group of unicorns using dark magic running at him. He sticks out his tongue in concentration before he rolls the water tower ball at high speeds towards the ponies. They don't have anytime to dodge as they are either set flying or are flattened by the water tower ball. The Nightmare hears this in his head as he throws his hoof up in a victory as he says,
"OH YEAH! STRIKE THREE, YOU'RE OUT! GOOOOOOOOOOO- Wait, wrong spor-*punch*"
He's interrupted when he is smacked by a pegasus. The Nightmare huffs in annoyance and he looks up to see a squads of pegasus guards attempting to attack him from above, but with a swish of his Nightmare Tails, he unleashes lightning bolts that shock them out of the sky.
Suddenly he notices and picks up a Diamond Dog (by its leg with a Nightmare Tail as the other tails act on their own to swat, grab, and slam away other incoming Pegasus Guards) and comments,
"Hmmm... A Brown Dog wearing a Kersey jacket under it's armor with the initials DWC engraved on his collar. Why do we get the feeling our lives revolve around those words..."
After a few moments of pondering, Nightmare Bugze just goes, "NAH!" before he starts whirrling the Diamond Dog around him to swat away Pegasus Guards flying at him as he sings,
This causes the Nightmare to laugh insanely before he continues his destruction of the city.
BACK WITH YOU AND THE DOCTOR
You both shiver at the thought of what can make that thing laugh as the Doctor says,
"I'd rather we don't find out, come on to the minds!"
With that the both of you rush towards the mine entrance.
BrownDog's Comment
"Buck!"
The Doctor slams his hoof at the vault like door sealing off the mine entrance. The vault has three big numbers on it that said
101
Shrugging off the nerdy feeling in your chest from reading the numbers on the vault door you ask the Doctor,
"What's wrong?"
The Doctor sighs before he looks at you and says,
"The vault doors are shut, that means there's no way for us to get inside. Sapphire must have been the last pony they could have fit before closing. We have to find another wa-OF COURSE!"
The Doctors eyes shine bright as a idea hits him and he runs off towards somelings house. You follow him inside and he explains that this is Prince Blueball’s house and that he has a hidden entrance to the mines in his basement. Luckily, the Doctor is able to find an entrance, boarded up in the basement of house.
“Why would there be an entrance there?” you ask.
“The Prince was funding an illegal dig into the mountainside, paying poor Diamond Dogs below minimum wage and leftover meat scraps without benefits."
“Yeesh that guy is a jerk,” you say aloud.
The house is pretty much empty, everything that wasn’t nailed down has been taken…except for a little yapping dog.
“Figures, that guy would take everything except the dog,” you say as you look at the collar which says ‘Precious’.”
Meanwhile, on an incoming airship.
“I CAN’T BELIEVE I FORGOT PRECIOUS!!!” screams a very snooty voice.
Back With You
You ignore the dog (you tried to pet it, but it bit you! Like owner like pet...) and continue on down to the basement entrance.
“So where will the right diamond be?” you ask.
“Well, logic dictates it will be towards the end of the tunnel, so let’s go.”
Hearing the booming noises outside, you follow suit.
As you walk through the caves, you speak up.
"So Doctor...earlier when you were talking to Derpy. You said something about my Grandbuggy..."
"Did I now?" the Doctor says.
"Yeah, you did..."
He says nothing.
"What did you mean I'm like him in so many ways?"
He looks at you but doesn't say anything.
"Did you know Grandbuggy?" you ask.
He sighs.
"You knew my Grandmother apparently, but did you know him as well?"
"Bugze...I promise, from the bottom of my hearts that when this is all over, you and I will have a sit down and talk. Stallion to Stallion...but now's not the time for this."
"Grrr...fine, but I will get my answers Doc!"
He sighs, "Yes you will...and you may wish you hadn't."
Inside the cave, you hear music. When you follow it down enough,
You witness a gigantic rave being led by Sapphire Shores.
“It’s the end of the world as we know it, Ladies and Gentlecolts, so let’s go out in style!” she yells and starts singing, while all the civilians and even some of the guards start dancing and… doing "other" things…
The Doctor blushes and pulls your shocked form away from the spectacle alone.
“What is this, the Maretrix Reloaded?” you cry out loud.
The Doctor shakes his head as he shouts,
"Come on Bugze, this way!"
With that the two of you head deeper into the mine, not noticing a certain singer watching you go. Soon you two pass by...
NEAR THE RAVE
A private room where you two see a white unicorn with a blue groomed mane, tail, and mustache cuddling with a white supermodel-looking unicorn with a light pink mane on a fancy rug, but the supermodel pony seems restless about something.
You and the Doctor exchange looks before you whisper,
"Come on Doc, we shouldn't be spying on these ponies. Let's find that bucking diamond."
The Doctor nods his head as the both of you go farther down the mine, not hearing this conversation.
"What's wrong Fleur?" the fancy pony asks.
"Sorry Fancy, it's just that the Nightmare is in Canterlot." Fleur answers.
"Don't worry my dear," Fancy reassures, "In this shelter the Princesses have built and provided for us little ponies, we should be fine..." he says the last parts uncertainly before deciding to change the subject to a lighter tone, "I myself sought out and purchased the highest quality food and beverages still around and donated them to the emergency stocks that they are now using to feed the less fortunate ponies also in the shelter."
"I know, but..." After a few moments in thought, she gets a determined (but reluctant) look on her face as she gets up from Fancy's side.
"Fleur!" Fancy says in worry.
"I'm sorry Fancy, but as a Royal Guard and a covert agent, I swore to protect Equestria at all costs. I love being with you, but I just can't enjoy it knowing that that monster is tearing apart other ponies who have taken the same oaths while I stay safe down here."
Fancy gets up after her, but Fleur says,
"No, Fancy. You aren't going to talk me out of this."
"I'm coming with you."
"Fancy no, I- What?" Fleur says in surprise.
Fancy walks over to her in determination and says,
"Fleur, you're more than just my bodyguard, my mistress, or even my closest friend. You are the love of my life so I'm coming with you and there's nothing you can do to persuade me otherwise. Besides, the more the merrier."
"Fancy..." Fleur says with tears in her eyes before tackling him with a passionate kiss back onto the rug...
BACK TO YOUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED PROGRAM
You and the Doctor have gone as far into the mine as possible. Now the two of you are mining the stone walls in search of the Diamond (the Doctor had to stop you from using the Boomstick to just blow the Diamonds out of the cave walls). As the both of you do you can't help but think,
The longer where looking, the longer the Nightmare is causing chaos. I wonder what sickening thing he is doing now...
POV Change: The Nightmare
“Die monster, you don't belong in this world!” shout Flim and Flam.
"Hey, just cause we're all in black and murder countless scores of creatures doesn't make us a vampire, that's racist! And we don't steal ponies souls and make them our slaves, or sparkle, or fall in love with a vampire hunter, or whatever the countless types of Vampires out there do" shouts the monster.
The twins seem confused by this rationale.
“Be that as it may, you’re no match for our Boom Shackalacka Nightmare Knocker Version 2.0!”
And with that, the minotaurs turn the cannon towards him and fire. A Rainbow Light comes forth and strikes his chest. He is blasted into a building and it collapses. Flim, Flam and the Minotaurs cheer.
It dies down when coughing is heard. Out of the dust walks the four eyed, nine tailed, sharp horned and tusked monstrosity of shadow.
"Nice shot there Chuckle and Buck. It’s been awhile since someone legitimately sucker punched us. Not since that stupid Pink Alicorn’s husband got us in the back, but we made him regret that. "
"I-it's not possible!" says Flim scared.
"This canon can take out a city block!"
The Nightmare doesn't respond to them, but rather starts mumbling.
“Stupid Cadance, squirming and crying over him. Not even when we tried to cheer her up did she let go. She wasn’t even paying attention when we tried to turn her into two face…or rather two body. The Dark Knight was awesome, but she just had to be a critic when the fire came...Ah sweet savory flames…"
"Fire again, maximum power!" shout the brothers as the rainbow blast hits the Nightmare once more, but this time he digs his tails into the ground and it keeps him from going back.
It looks up to the Flim Flam brothers and smirks.
“Nice shot, I mean it's no Cheese Supreme Cannonball Surprise, but what can you do?”
“That was supposed to disintegrate you…” says Flim.
“The success rate was 99%” says Flam.
“Well we have god mode enabled, so now all your base are belong to us! But I’ll let this lovely little lady decide your fate.”
The Nightmare pulls from his saddlebags...what looks like a Luna plushie.
“What do you think baby? What should daddy do?” it asks the doll.
“You should tear their heads off then use that cannon to fry us up some Minotaur BBQ daddy!” the Nightmare says in a high pitched voice, mimicking a child.
“Okie Dokie honey, anything for our princess,” it says back.
“Why is he talking to that Princess Luna Plushie?” Flim says to Flam.
“I don’t care, fire again!” says Flam.
Unfortunately for them, the Nightmare jumps clear over the beam, using a pair of shadow bat wings to glide and land behind the brothers before proceeding to grab both of them by the throats with his clawed hooves as it uses its Nightmare Tails to swat away the Minotaurs.
“You know when you shake a bottle of soda real hard and the top comes off? You think the same thing happens to ponies?” it asks before proceeding to shake the brothers until their heads do in fact fly off.
“Wow look at that, and look, they even have cherry soda in them…Bleh, that’s the worst tasting soda ever!”
The minotaurs see this and all decide to run for it.
Seeing this, the Nightmare picks up the cannon with it's tails and points it towards the fleeing minotaurs.
“Don’t run, we just want to be your friend!” it yells as it activates the cannon…And in doing so the minotaurs disappear completely after the light hits them, as well as sections of the street, buildings and wall that were in their path.
A demonic squee fills the air.
“We will hold you and love you and call you George,” The Nightmare coos to the cannon as it cradles it.
As it finishes cradling the cannon, it looks up and sees...
One Minotaur starts showing off some fancy sword moves with a giant Zweihander
Cue Nightmare Bugze nonchalantly blasting him with the cannon.
A surviving minotaur walk out from the ashes carrying a giant Zweihander. The minotaur stares at the ashes that used to be hi's comrades before he huffs in anger and takes out his sword. The minotaur begins to do fancy sword tricks with it as the Nightmare just stares at him in confusion before nonchalantly aiming the cannon at him and blasting him into dust. The Nightmare sighs as he mutters,
"Moron."
The Nightmare's eyes lighten up in deranged delight however as he sees...
A platoon of ponies wielding scimitars. He smiles in delight as he jumps over to them and says,
"Oooo... Saddle Arabians! Any suicide bombers among you?"
"No! That is a species-ist Applewood stereotype!" the lead Saddle Arabian exclaims,
"Must we do EVERYTHING ourselves?!" Nightmare Bugze exclaims in annoyance as he reaches into his Inventory as a nightmare tail lashes out and grabs the lead Saddle Arabian warrior before sweeping him from side to side to knock away the others.
"Let's see... Cake... Vanilla Cola... Lucky skulls... Aha!" he exclaims as he pulls out a bomb that reads Property of Michael Beigh before he violently yanks the Saddle Arabian pony with such force that NB punches the bomb into his chest.
Nightmare Bugze then wraps two nightmare tails around the Saddle Arabian's upper and lower jaws and puppets "Hakuna Matata!" before throwing the living bomb at the platoon where he explodes and takes them all out.
"Wait... Us darn it! We said that wrong, REDO!"
But before the Nightmare can find another poor sap to do that too, a blast of dark magic shoots past it. The Nightmare turns towards its source and sees...
A dark unicorn with a curved red horn leading the charge of countless unicorns.
“Kill Him!” he shouts and the others roar.
“OH Boy, more friends! We're just so popular tonight aren’t we?”
“You sure are daddy…” ‘Nightshade’ answers, “But they can’t ever love you like I do…”
“Awww, thanks honey, now let’s go say hello,” it answers as it charges up the Boom Shackalacka.
However as soon as he does Sombra shouts out,
“Give him no mercy you Maggots!”
“Oh please, like your magic is going to-”
The Nightmare is cut off as countless spells strike him.
“Ow, Ow, Ow! Cut it out!” A concentrated dark blast from several unicorns knocks him back a bit.
“Oh so you’ve all upgraded huh? Well so have we,” Nightmare Bugze laughs, as he aims the boom shackalacka at the incoming unicorns and pulls the trigger.
Sombra throws up a protective shield made of crystals, but even he is blasted backwards.
As the former Emperor shakes his head to clear the fuzziness in his vision, he looks back and sees that all of his disciples have been turned to dust.
“Ashes, ashes, they all fall the Buck down! Heh heh heh,” chuckles the Nightmare.
Daddy, let's save the cannon for the Royal bitches! Bitches love cannons! Nightmare Bugze "hears" 'Nightshade' tell him,
"Great idea honey!" Nightmare Bugze says before stuffing the Boom Shackalacka Nightmare Knocker Version 2.0 into the Inventory.
"Daddy, let's save the cannon for the Royal bitches! Bitches love cannons!" Nightmare Bugze "hears" 'Nightshade' tell him,
"Great idea honey!" Nightmare Bugze says as he moves to stuf the Boom Shackalacka Nightmare Knocker Version 2.0 into his Inventory (yes, he has one) when Sombra grits his teeth in rage as he fires a blast of dark magic at the Nightmare, knocking the cannon away from him.
“Ah! Cheap Shot!”
“You killed all of my students monster! And now you will meet your death at the hooves of King Sombra!” he roars as he blasts another dark magic shot at the Nightmare, but a tail comes forth and absorbs the shock.
“Yeah, no, the Darkness is our thing. And we hate to pry, but dude! What’s up with your horn? It’s all red and curved, isn’t there supposed to be a cream for that?”
Sombra slams his hoof into the ground and crystals shoot forth and strike at the Nightmare who grunts.
“I am an umbra you worm! Resurrected by my very enemies to fight you. And once you’re beaten, I am going to drain your magic and life force and gain back my full power. Then this land will be mine!”
The dust lifts and Sombra sees the Nightmare with his back turned.
“Do you hear me monster?!”
The Nightmare turns around and mocks,
“Huh? Were you speaking to us? All we heard was, ‘blah blah blah-I am tasty meat-blah blah blah-cook me please,’”
As he uses his Nightmare Tails to whip an entire wall of a building at the shadow tyrant, luckily Sombra dives out of the way.
“Crystal Swarm!” Sombra calls as crystals burst from the ground and strike at the Nightmare, almost as if he’s a Crystal Bender.
“Ouch! Hey cut that out, those things are pokey!” the Nightmare cries out.
Another one gouges him.
“Crystal Splash!” yells Sombra who shoots out several smaller crystals at the Nightmare like a gun.
“Aaaaaahhhh!!!” shouts the Nightmare as he is peppered by the sharp stones.
He then makes a scythe made of pure crystal and rushes at the Nightmare while sending shooting out crystal torpedos
“Alright, that’s enough, FUS RO DAH!” the Nightmare shouts, shattering the crystals and collapsing nearby houses and sending Sombra flying.
The Nightmare smiles as he says,
"Great, now that that annoyance is out of the way, time to go... Wherever my baby wants me to go!"
With that said the beast went on to continue it's rampage with the Luna Plushie on its back...
POV Change: Bugze (You)
"I found it!"
After what felt like hours of mining, you finally found a diamond the right shape and size! So far all you found were smaller diamonds or jewels (which have been added to your funds ) but now you found the big one. The Doctor, who's covered in cave dust like yourself, walks over to exam the diamond. After making a few "hmmm" sounds he nods his head and smiles before saying,
"Good job Bugze! This is it! Now let's get to the TARDIS before it's too late!"
You nod your head as you shove the diamond into The Inventory as you and the Doctor head out of the mine...
However, as you walk along the path back to Blueball’s, temptation gets the better of you and you look out into the “Rave” once more.
Sure enough…everypony, griffon, minotaur, diamond dog civilian left are still… “enjoying themselves.”
Least they’ll go out happy. you think to yourself.
You turn away and head along the pathway, to the point where the music is dulled. In doing so, you pass a secluded corner filled with candles and pictures. There is a group of ponies and other beings not enjoying themselves. They appear down trodden and all holding hooves, paws, claws, etc. and just crying.
Two of them stick out to you more than the others. One is a Blue Unicorn Stallion, and the other is a grey unicorn mare. The both seem strangely familiar.
“Hey Doctor, can you take a look at this?” you ask.
“Bugze, it’s not polite to stare, and we’re kind of on a time lim…” begins a blushing Doctor.
“No, not “them” there’s a group over in that corner just sitting around crying.”
The Doctor looks to where you’re pointing and sighs.
“Poor souls who it seems can’t get lost in the frivolity, who can’t forget what’s about to happen…” the Doctor says sadly.
“Who are those two, the blue and the grey unicorn holding each other? They seem familiar to me, even though I’ve never seen them before.”
“They should seem familiar, you’ve met their children countless times.”
“I have?” you ask flabbergasted.
“Yes, that is Night Light and Twilight Velvet, Shining Armor and Twilight Sparkle’s parents.
“Oh…” you say in understanding as you watch the couple cry.
“I guess I never really thought of them having parents…”
“Everyone has loved ones who will miss them when they’re gone…even if they don’t realize it,” the Doctor says putting a hoof on your shoulder.
“Now, let’s go before it’s too late,” the Doctor says as he runs off, with you following shortly after.
A FEW MOMENTS LATER, OUTSIDE BLUE BALLS HOUSE
You and the Doctor begin to run across the rooftops, the Doctor claiming that this way was far safer then the streets. You can't complain since half of the street is now covered in rubble or...bodies. You shake it off as the tow of you continue to make your way to were the TARDIS is. But as the two of you get closer you see a piece of rubble flying right towards the Doctor! Your too far to reach him in time as you call out,
"DOCTOR! WATCH OUT!"
The Doctor looks at you in surprise as the piece of rubble is about to hit him, but suddenly a grey blur hits the Doctor towards you and away from the rubble. You look at the Doctor and are shocked to see Derpy on top of him. Derpy looks him in the eye.
"I thought I told you to stay in the TARDIS," he says flatly
"And I told you that you needed my help," she responds
"Well...I guess I did,"
"Told you so...I told you you'd need me" she says with a smile
The Doctor sighs as he says,
"Ditzy...Thank you...I don't know what I'd do without you" he says as he caresses her cheek to which she leans into.
As the two continue to stare at each other, you can't help but cough awkwardly as you say,
"Hey, if you two need a room or something I understand. But can it wait till were not in a dimension were we could be killed by me at any second."
The Doctor and Derpy blush as they quickly get off of each other. You chuckle at this before you jump to the next roof as you say,
"Come on love birds, we got a Nightmare to stop!"
The two shake their heads as they start to follow you. However...
As you, Derpy, and the Doctor sprint across rooftops (on their way to do something or another... you kinda lost track of who was following who) you glance to your right and spot the Nightmare down below, clashing with a squad of minotaurs...
*bash slam crash slam clang crush* "Would you like some more cheesecake sweetie?"
Or rather- slamming the minotaurs into fire hydrants, buildings, abandoned carriages, and other pony guards with his tails in a wild flurry while he's focused on trying to feed a whole blueberry cheesecake to a... Luna Plushie? Suddenly, a massive black crystal whizzes down the street, stabbing the Nightmare through the shoulder. The monster flinches before grabbing the crystal with a spare tail and yanking it out as he protectively puts the Luna Plushie back in The Inventory.
He turns to face his attacker and it's the dark unicorn you saw before and who you have since learned to be called Sombra. He looks a little bruised, but not much.
"Nightmare. Your reign ends here, and mine begins," Sombra growls.
"Great. Do we know you?" NY asks. "Because you've really got that whole evil villain look down pat. Could we borrow your cape?" Sombra just growls in anger of being forgotten so easily as he conjures a dark-crystal scythe and charges the insane changeling.
"Well OK then," NY says. "We don't mind if it gets a little bloody."
The two ram into each other in the middle of the street, sending out a shockwave that crashes into the buildings all around it, even shaking the foundation of the building you're on.
The Doctor grabs your shoulder. "Bugze- we need to go," he says. "It's not safe here." You nod, and follow as he turns and starts galloping away.
As you run, you hazard a glance back and see that the Nightmare has grabbed Sombra and is proceeding to slam him repeatedly against the road with his Nightmare tails. You decide to keep your eyes on the Doctor as you parkour after him.
You've galloped across a couple roofs when suddenly the black projectile that is Sombra flies into a building up ahead, causing it to collapse. Sombra staggers out of the building, dazed but not out, when NY pounces on him again, flinging him across the road. Sombra catches himself on the roof of another building, before he proceeds to shoot a barrage of razor-sharp crystals at NY. The Nightmare takes off, dodging the attacks as the come- the crystals instead crash into the roof you're on, forming spiky barriers that you cannot pass. NY slams his tails into the ground, blasting off in a super jump that takes him behind Sombra on the opposing rooftops.
He wraps a tail around his hoof as he cries "Dark Falcon Punch!", striking the unicorn with such strength that it rockets him through the air and into the street. He bounces several times before sliding to a stop at the foot of the building you're on.
"Uh Oh," the Doctor says. He turns to Derpy. "Fly! Get out of here!" he cries as the Nightmare leaps down in front of Sombra's limp figure. His Nightmare tails shoot out, grabbing the columns that support the building. "Quickly!" the Doctor screams. "He's going to-"
The rooftop collapses beneath you as NY rips out the building's supports, causing the structure to crumble away. Thinking quickly, you teleport to the nearby rooftop. You glance down and spot Derpy clinging to the Doctor, desperately trying to lift him away.
You quickly whip out the Power Glove and say "Would you kindly GET OVER HERE!" as you grab the two with your telekinesis plasmid, and bring them over to you.
"Thank you, Bugze," the Doctor says. Glancing down, he sees Sombra climbing out of the rubble, and NY preparing for round two. "We need to go. Everything is getting destroyed. It's just not safe."
"There!" You cry, pointing to some undamaged rooftops several streets over. You grab Derpy and the Doctor and teleport over.
"OK," you sigh, relieved that the teleport went off without a hitch. "We've put several blocks between us, that should be enough to-"
You're cut off as the Nightmare flies past you and smashes into a nearby building. "Buck, I'm wrong," you mutter. "RUN!"
Before you can run, Sombra teleports on scene, blasting NY with a beam of dark magic. NY leaps out of the way, behind Sombra, before his horn lights up and he releases a barrage of midnight blue magic bursts. Sombra is struck by several, and he stumbles back before hastily constructing a wall of crystal, which refracts the magic, scattering stray blasts all over the street. You duck behind a roof fixture as several beams fly over your head, before glancing back at the fight.
NY leaps onto the side of a building, before bounding over the street to a building on the opposite side, then bouncing back with another huge jump. Now behind Sombra, he pounces at the dark unicorn. Sombra teleports away in a flash of green and purple, leaving NY to attack nothing but air. Sombra appeares behind NY, and with a glow of purple and green, crystals sprout around NY, slowly crawling up his body.
"Really?" NY snarks as the crystals fully encase his hooves. "We mean, we know crystals are sort of your thing, but really?" The crystals creep up his legs, and up his chest as he draws in a deep breath. They've just reached his neck when he cries "FUS RO DAH!!!" The crystals shatter, along with all the glass in the area, and also your eardrums, you think. As Sombra is thrown back from the force, the Doctor taps on your shoulder.
"We should get out of here!"
"What?" you ask.
"I said we should get out of here!" the Doctor cries. You nod, and turn to run off.
However your forced to stop as you hear another "FUS RO DAH" from behind you. You see Sombra get launched through the air and he lands at the base of some steps that lead up a hill.
The Nightmare immediately jumps to his location…and looks up in confusion as Sombra is already at the top.
“How the hay did you get up there so fast?”
“Because I am a stair stepping master!” taunts Sombra as he makes Crystals dot the stairs, making them impossible to climb.
“Oh gee, we can’t go up the stairs, well guess that means we should admit defeat and go home and cry,” deadpans the Nightmare before suddenly jumping 50 feet into the air and flying with his shadow wings and landing in front of Sombra. “Oh right, We’re a God!”
Sombra is then struck across the face and goes through the wall of a school. Landing in a chemistry lab.
The Nightmare follows soon after. Inside the chemistry room are cartons of blue crystals. The Nightmare looks in the corner and sees a dead bald donkey with a fancy goatee and hat with a piece of chalk in his hooves. The words, Heisenburro are scrawled across the board.
The Nightmare smirks.
“So, you like crystals eh?” he asks Sombra, before grabbing a tub and pouring the contents into Sombra’s mouth.
“Well go ahead and have some, they’re magically delicious!” the Nightmare taunts before he delivers a vicious punch into Sombra's mouth to knock the contents (along with a few of his teeth) even further into his stomach.
Sombra’s pupils dilate after swallowing some of the blue crystals and the Nightmare throws him into a nearby wall and following it up with ramming him through it into another classroom where the Nightmare then proceeds to start grabbing and smashing desks onto the still-tripping-out Sombra.
Sombra eventually manages to shut his eyes tightly and snap out of it with a burst of mental shadow energy long enough to...
Conjure up a crystal scythe before charging at Nightmare Bugze who responds in kind. When Nightmare Bugze's hooves clash against Sombra's scythe, time seems to stand still for a few moments before Sombra hits the monster with a flurry of strikes before he appears with his back to Nightmare Bugze's side as he impales Bugze with his scythe,
"Our spleen!" NB excalims.
Sombra quickly follows it up by shifting his head to over his right shoulder and blasting Nightmare Bugze in the head with a blast of dark magic that knocks him into a damaged building that collapses on him.
"Our leg!" NB says as he knocks the rubble off him with his nightmare tails, "Oh... it's cramping!"
Sombra blasts NB with more dark energy, but he whips out his Nightmare Tails and grabs the shadow tyrant before exclaiming,
"Our turn! HEADBUTT!"
And sling-shotting itself into Sombra with a spinning assault, knocking them through a pair of walls and down a long flight of stairs where Nightmare Bugze manages to grab Sombra in a headlock and surf him down the stairs (with Sombra's head banging against every step along the way) as he exclaims,
"COWABUNGA!!!"
When they reach the bottom, Sombra is bleeding and mangled, but he tries one last thing;
He weakly gets up as his eyes start to glow green before staring directly into the Nightmare’s Orange eyes.
“Witness your fears!”
The Nightmare’s four eyes widen a bit and take on a bit of a green glow...
"HOT POTATO!" the Nightmare exclaims before his eyes sudden blaze an even brighter orange which strikes out and overtakes Sombra’s own eyes… and he sees the things he most fears...
“AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!! Amore NO! I killed you. I KILLED YOU! Hope… help me…” he screams in horror.
The Nightmare’s Orange Mist begins to spread under the skin of the former tyrant as he proclaims,
"Fool! You think that mere fear can defeat a NIGHTMARE!"
The Nightmare then grabs the sides of Sombra's head with his clawed hooves as the tyrant starts to shake violently,
"We are MORE than fear as we have experienced true jealousy, bitterness, pain, loss, and rage! We are fear! We are fury! WE ARE THE NIGHTMARE! AND YOU..."
Under the increasing pressure, Sombra cracks and glows orange before violently disintegrating into purple-black mist.
“Are merely a shadow…” The Nightmare finishes before losing his seriousness, "And I'll take your cape thank you very much!"
As the Nightmare takes the now dead kings cape and struggles to put it on, the three of you take this chance to run towards the TARDIS. However when you get to where it belongs...
"WHERE THE BUCK IS IT!?"
The TARDIS is now missing! Where it once was is a note card. While the Doctor starts raging over it and Derpy tries to comfort him, you decide to read the not card. After you read it your eyes widen in shock as you say,
"Doc! I know where the TARDIS is!"
The Doctor looks over to you in shock as he asks,
"Where!? Where is she?!"
You gulp slightly as you say,
"Well apparently the Princesses had it hauled over to the Palace for safe keeping when Pinkie failed to report back on the progress of fixing the TARDIS."
The Doctor get's another angry face before he calms down and says,
"Fine! I'll give them a mouthful on why you don't touch a time travelers time machine later. Let's get to the palace later before the Night,are finds u-"
The Doctor is interrupted when a unicorn guard is sent flying by the alley that you're all in. The three of you look at each other before you all peak out of the alley and see...
The Nightmare swinging around a bunch of unicorns like a juggler. However he soon yawns before he throws them all away as if they were toys. However a smile forms on the Nightmares face as he says,
“Woo, that was fun, wonder what other playthings are around-*WHAM*”
“How about us?” a voice calls out behind the Nightmare as he lifts the anvil/piano off his head and turns around and sees both Discord and Tirek.
“Finally! Something interesting to fight, right Nightshade?” he says to the Luna Plushie.
“That’s right daddy, don’t forget to make them scream!”
“Will do hon-" he begins before being blasted by Tirek.
The Nightmare get's up from the blast and looks at Tirek and Discord before he smiles and says,
"Looks like round 1 is over with, NOW TIME FOR ROUND 2!"
"And that's our que to leave!" The Doctor says as he grabs you and Derpy's hooves and starts to drag you towards the Castle. As he does you can't help but give him a confused look and ask,
"Uh Doc, why are you dragging us towards the Palace?"
The Doctor gives a annoyed sigh before he says,
"Because Bugze. The Princess did the one thing you never do to a Time Lord, they took my TARDIS! And where gonna get it back!"
You nod your head at this, but you can't help but lean over to Derpy and whisper,
"Why is he so mad?"
Derpy nods her head as she says,
"Somepony took his TARDIS, and he's very protective of his toys."
"She's not a toy, she's my TARDIS! And this is the 11th time somepony's stolen it! Those princess are gonna get a ear full when we get to the Palace!"
You can't help but think,
I wonder what's worse. Death by Nightmare or death by the Doctor's ranting?
Outro
WHAT DO YOU DO?
When you are entering the Castle, The Doctor walks right through the unguarded doors. The Princesses all look up in surprise, each of them standing around the TARDIS.
“Doctor? You’re still alive?” asks Cadance.
The Doctor doesn’t answer as his scowl deepens and he keeps walking forward.
“When we lost contact with Pinkamena, we feared the worst, pray tell, where is she?” asks Luna.
The Doctor still doesn’t answer and just stares them down.
“We thought that if we could figure out the secrets to your machine we could…” starts Celestia before being interrupted by the Doctor.
“Shut up!” the Doctor says to her shocking everyone.
“W-what did you just…” she begins.
“Shut up!” the Doctor says pointing at her, to which you can’t help but smile.
“You do not speak to my sister that way you…” Luna begins.
“Shut up!” the Doctor yells at Luna.
“Please Doctor we were desperate, there’s no need for…”
“Shut up!” he yells at Cadance, to which you take offence.
“Hey, it’s funny when it’s Moony and Sunny, but you don’t say that to,”
He whirls around and glares at you “Shut up!”
Everypony (aside from Derpy) and you starts arguing, but are all overruled by the Time Lord.
“Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up shutitty up up up!” he shouts to the room and everyone listens.
“There, that wasn’t so hard now was it? Feels good when ponies follow orders,” he says giving the stare down to the Princesses. “I told you to let us fix this without harassment or hindrance, and thanks to your bumbling, we’ve lost precious time!” he chides the Princesses.
“But we…” Celestia starts, but stops when the Doctor raises his eyebrow at her. Even in another universe, the Doctor takes charge.
“Now you’re learning. Now, get away from my bloody TARDIS, she doesn’t like being shipped around without me!”
He gestures for them to move and they do.
“Now that I’ve gotten my ship back, I’ll answer your questions, Yes we’re still alive, You were foolish in thinking you could ever understand Time Lord technology, and Pinkamena was knocked unconscious saving our lives and is currently in Bugzzzzzz…” he almost slips to which Cdance notes, “…zzzz -Tennant’s saddle bag. Now the Old Girl isn’t ready for flight yet without a power coupling, so in the meantime I am going to whip up something brilliant with these,” he holds up the Dog Collar and the Diamond, “So shut up!”
And with that, he walks into the TARDIS and slams the door.
The Princesses look to you and Derpy.
“Well don’t blame us, you took his toy,” says Derpy.
“Yeah, if anything, you’re lucky he didn’t throw you into the epicenter of a black hole or something,” you add.
The Princesses look at each other in confusion before turning back to you.
“He said you have Pinkamena in your bag?” asks a confused Cadance.
“Oh, right!” you say as you facehooved, you kind of forgot about her in all the excitement.
You reach into the bag to grab her, and you feel something soft and jiggly which you think is her, when all of a sudden you feel a very sharp pain in your arm.
“Aaaaahhhh!!!” you yell as you pull your arm out and it has a knife in it. Following your arm, Pinkamena jumps out. She has a bruise on her head, and is glaring at you.
“Wwwwhhhhyyyy?!!!” you whine to her.
She pulls the blade out of your arm to which you yell again.
“It may be the end of the world out there, but that doesn’t mean you can rub a mare’s flanks while she’s sleeping” she says glaring at you.
“Wh-what? I-I didn’t mean…” you try to plead before she gets in your face.
“Quit your blubbering, I could have taken your whole arm off you wimp, this is just a love tap” she says before walking to the Princesses.
“That mare…was in the same place… as our daughter…The buck were you thinking?” Selena says to you in deadpan.
“Yeah…I’m just now realizing that…I am not a smart bug” you respond.
“Clearly. Sometimes I wonder how you’ve survived without me.”
“That…is a very good question.”
During your mental exchange you notice that Pinkie is talking to Celestia.
“Princess, the Nightmare is here, let me kill him.”
“Pinkamena, Tirek and Discord are engaging him, there won’t be a need to…” Celestia begins.
“HE’S MINE TO KILL!” she shouts at them and they all wince. “I’m not going to have some two bit gods take what is mine! Give me the blade!”
The Princesses wince at this.
“The Blade?” you ask aloud but are ignored.
“These daggers, the chainsaw and this arm have the weave, but the blade is pure. I NEED IT!”
“Pinkie…” Cadance starts but she glares at her old name being said.
“You promised me the pure Orichalcum sword!”
At the mention of Orichalcum, you rub the scar over your eye, remembering the pain.
“Or are you trying to break a promise to me…” she says in malice.
“N-No!” they all say in fear.
“Then Give Me The Blade…”
Celestia sighs and teleports a dark green sword into the room. But before she can give it to Pinkie, the Doctor comes out of the TARDIS with a bunch of tools.
“Put that away! Now’s not the time for it!” shouts the Doctor.
An explosion in the city rocks the castle
“Now’s the perfect time for it!” Pinkamena shouts.
The Doctor, with a bit of fear, looks into her eyes.
“If you go out there without my little doohickey I’m about to make, then you will die even with that blade…” he says. Pinkamena glares at him as another explosion rocks the foundation.
“Just like those so called gods out there.”
“You don’t think Tirek and Discord can handle him?” asks Celestia.
The Doctor looks to her gravely, “I know they can’t. Discord’s chaos is random, yet fair, Tirek’s conquest is ruthless, yet ambitious. The Nightmare is the pure hatred and insanity of two poor souls. All it cares about is death. So no, they will not stop it…” they looked horrified at this revelation, “But maybe I can, with these.”
He holds up the collar and diamond and an assortment of other pieces.
“What is this thing going to do Doctor?” you ask.
He walks to a table and starts fitting pieces together.
“This doohickey is going to be a dampener of sorts. To drain his magic completely would be all but impossible at this point. But this will give us a fighting chance.”
“We have tried dampeners on him, they don’t last for long,” says Luna.
“Well that’s because you don’t have my level of tech, but also you were being broad. This dampener is power specific. If you take away his most important power, you’ll have a shot,” he says before turning to you, “Which is what again Tennant?”
“I…Uhh…” you stutter trying to think what your greatest power is. You eventually realize it can only be the one that you’ve used, practically your whole life.
“His healing factor,” you say.
“Bingo! Orichalcum is the only thing that can hurt him at this point, but with this doohickey, he won’t be op invincible.”
Pinkamena’s eyes light up at this.
“Now give me some space,” he says as he starts working while the rest of you watch the fight.
As you watch, Cadance talks to you.
“I don’t think I had a chance to apologize for shooting you earlier,” she says.
“Oh, don’t worry, it’s not the first time I’ve been blasted.”
“Still, I’m sorry.”
“Hey it’s good, after all you’ve done for me I can’t complain.”
“Huh? What I’ve done for you?”
Your eyes snap open as you realize your slip.
“What have I done for you?” she asks again.
“Well, back in our universe, our Cadance is one of my best friends. She’s always believed in me and had my back…even if I didn’t deserve it.”
“Sounds like me…for better or worse” she says holding her left side. You look down the whole left side and notice that up close, she has been severely burnt, with the claw mark on her cutie mark being the worst.
She sees you staring.
“He did this to me…that monster,” she huffs angrily.
“Sorry, didn’t mean to stare” you say.
“No go ahead, there’s no hiding it. That psycho did this to me after he murdered my husband” she says with a wince. “When Shining died, I just gave up. I tried and tried to bring him back…but it was too late,” she says with a sniffle, and your own eyes water. “That thing tried to drag me away from Shiny…but I wouldn’t let go…so he scorched me right down the middle, laughing the whole time…”
You look away from her to the battle below and wipe away your tears.
“Everyone has wounds from him I suppose, all the hurt he’s brought… but mine hurt the most.”
“Why?” you ask.
“Because he used to be a friend…someone I trusted and cared for…” another boom echoes, “And this is what came of it…” she says crying.
“Cadance…I’m sorry…I’m so so sorry…” you mumble.
“There’s nothing for you to feel sorry for, this all started with me and him…and I can never take that back…” she sniffles and wipes her tears away.
“Anyway, sorry for venting, it’s been awhile.”
“No, it’s alright,” you reassure her.
“Thanks…what did you do for your Cadance to always have her trust?” she asks.
You look back out the window, “All I did was give her some food…” you say realizing you could do more for the Princess of Love. When you look back at her, she has an inquisitive and surprised face on.
“A-are you…” but she is interrupted by the Doctor.
“I’m finished! One collar inhibitor doohickey at your service!”
“Thank the creator!” Celestia exclaims after the events they just witnessed.
“Now we can stop that monster!” says Luna.
“Right, but the only problem is, someone is going to have to get close enough to put this around his neck” he says.
Everyone just gets quiet at that but Pinkie comes forth.
“I’ll do it.”
“Pinkamena, we are more powerful than…” begins Luna, but is stopped when Pinkie whirls on her.
“Exactly! So you’ll have a better shot of taking him down if I…fail.”
“She’s right,” the Doctor adds, “Also, If we are to create a power coupling, I’ll need you three alicorns help.”
They nod at this and Celestia holds out the sword.
Pinkie then grabs the Orichalchum sword and looks at her reflection in it. “But If I don’t fail, that collar is just going to make this all the more sweeter…”
Before anyone can argue, she grabs the collar and dashes to the door. She stops and turns back.
She looks to the princesses, “Thanks for being the last of my friends…” and the Alicorns nod. She looks to the Doctor and Derpy, “Fix this…please...” And they nod.
She then looks to you, “Sorry about stabbing you…and thanks for not leaving me to die…It’s…it’s the nicest thing anypony’s done for me in a long time, and it’s more than a murderer like me deserves…” she says with a genuine smile.
You smile back.
She loses her smile and gets serious.
“This collar is going on that monster…I Pinkie Promise you all!”
She then goes through the motions before taking off into the warzone.
The most random thing Bugze did was when he started trying to get the Super Speedy Cider Squeezy to rise up and overthrow it's oppressors.
As the three villains fight, after a few minutes Discord "accidentally", did chaos too all of Equestria, and decides to converse with the Nightmare.
"So, how`s your day been?" And that is how he starts it.
"Oh, not too bad, not too bad. Can`t complain. A little hot though." Says the Nightmare as he slams Tierek`s hed into a building with a tail.
The two then strike up a friendly conversation, while Tierek gets the snot beat out of him.
Hsave Discord RIckroll him,o r perhaps just play unfitting music, before using Waffle BombS!
6159422 If Pinkie doing it, I can only think of one thing for her to say as she puts it on the nightmare.
"Nightmare OP'ed, plz nerf."
6158392 Aye. I was confused a bit there. Sorry.
ngihtmare bugze or/and bugze fall and hit their knee (possible?) and do this:
oh and most random thing is this chapter where bugze tried to go on adate with a celebrity during the freaking apocalypse and a mission
As the fight continue, just then a strange pony with a green robe and a cutie mark of three golden triangles appear making a great scene as a great wind appear around him.
"Come on! Another one that want to be killed?" Ask Nightmare Bugzee
Just then from under the hat of the strange pony appear a Breezie.
"Hey! Listen!" Shout the Breezie
Everyone is looking at the breezie and the pony as he take out a sword and try to fight Nightmare Bugzee
"Ha! Hya! Yia!!!" Shout the strange pony as he slash with the sword
Nightmare Bugzee meanwhile is looking, as the strange pony just move the sword in front of him and not even a slash hit him.
After that, Nightmare Bugzee just make a normal punch and the pony in green clothes is launched away.
"Okay, let's continue the fight...!" Say Nightmare Bugzee
As Nightmare Bugzee was ready to continue destroying Canterlot, another pony appear, this time is a red pony with a red hat and a big moustache and a mushroom as a Cutie Mark
"Ichi niii!! Marioo!!" Say the red pony
After that the red pony try to jump above Nightmare Bugzee but he throw him to the sky and dissapear like the pony from before.
"Okay, now that I take care of him, let's destroy a little more" Groan Nightmare Bugzee
"We are going to stop you Hooded Offender!" Say another voice
"Okay... Now, what?" Ask a little angry Nightmare Bugzee
Bugzee look and see a strange pony with a red hat and a yellow filly with him
"Go Pikafilly!" Shout the pony
"Pika Pika Pika" Say the filly as she try to just tackle Nightmare Bugzee
Bugzee throw her to the sky and look to the pony of the strange hat
"Is that all?" Ask Nightmare Bugzee
"Uhhh.... Errr... Go Poke-Ball!!" Shout the pony as he throw a plastic ball
The ball hit Nightmare Bugzee doing nothing as he look to the pony.
"Okay... Anyone more?" Ask Nightmare Bugzee looking around
Nightmare Bugzee look around and see a strange pony with a gorila suit (donkey kong), another that seems a astronaut (Samus), a pink pony with a big mouth (kirby), a yellow pony also with a big mouth (Pac-Man) and a pony with a strange big key (Sora, KH).
"FUZ ROH DAH!" Shout Nightmare Bugzee making all of them fly away
Meanwhile in Canterlot Castle
Luna was looking to the battle of Nightmare Bugzee and how all those strange ponies have been defeated by him, after that he begin to scream
"Noooo!! My super army! How could they lose?" Ask Luna to herself
Celestia and Cadence that looked to the same scene confused until Luna talked, looked to her.
"That was your plan?" Ask Cadence
"Of course, What is best that using powerfull heroes to defeat him? I even give the breezie pony a ocarina enchanted magically" Say Luna
Cadence and Celestia groan
"If we survive to this, remember me that I cut your time playing videogames" Comment Celestia
Meanwhile with Bugzee and company
"So, are we ready for the plan?" Ask Bugzee
"GAAAAAAAAHHHH"
Bugzee, The Doctor and Ditzy look around, to see a pony dressed with green robes, flying above them. At the same a instrument fall from one of the pockets of the pony and hit Bugzee in the head
"Ouch, what is this?" Ask Bugzee
"It seems a ocarina, but I don't know how to use it" Comment Derpy
"Let's save it for later, now we need to do the plan" Say The Doctor
"Uhhh.... What if my other me find me before we finish?" Ask Bugzee as he put the ocarina in the inventory
Ocarina added to inventory
"Run, and hide" Say The Doctor
"Too bad we could not help him" Say Derpy
"Ditzy, why do you want to help him?" Ask The Doctor
"Duh, because I can understand a little of him... If something happened to Sparkler or Dinky I could feel very bad..." Say Derpy
"Yeah..." Say The Doctor and Bugzee looking down
----
Time later with Discord
----
Nightmare Bugzee begin to attack Discord, but everytime he attack, Discord body move like if it was a old toon and could not hit, even when he use the tails
"Is that all?" Ask Discord
"Never! I will destroy everything!" Say Nightmare Bugzee
"Yes, come one daddy, you can do it!" Say Nightmare Bugzee with the plushie Nightshade voice
"Ohhh... How cute, you thinking she is still alive" Say Discord laughing
Nightmare Bugzee groan but Discord snap his fingers, after that a copy of Nightshade appear in front of them
"I hate you daddy! It was because of you that I was killed!"Say the Nightshade clone
"B-Butt I'm your daddy... Please" Say Nightmare Bugzee as her tails begin to seems a little less dark
"Don't let her fool you, I'm your Nightshade, and I will ever ever love you Daddy!" Say Nightmare Bugzee with the Nightshade voice
Discord snap his fingers and another Nightshade appear
"No! You are not my daddy! I like more Discord, he is going to be my new daddy, I hate you ex-Daddy, And you know what? Maybe Celestia could be my mommy! The truth is that I hated Celestia because you hated her, but now that you are not my daddy, I can have her as my new mommy! And the best of all is that you will be dead and never come back!" Say the second clone of Nightshade as both of them hug Discord
"We love you Daddy Discord!" Say the two Nightshade clones at the same time as they hug him
"I will kill you Discord!!!! And then Celestia!!! Then I will recover Nightshade!!" Shout angry Nightmare Bugzee as a new tail appear from behind as the other tales become even more dark and a dark aura begin to glow around him, making him look like a mix between a shadow and a pony monster.
"Ohh, come on! Really?" Ask Discord
"We are going to protect Daddy Discord from ex-Daddy!" Say clone A
"Yes! Ex-Daddy is going to die! And we are going to be happy forever!" Say Clone B
After that both clones put themselves between Discord and Nightmare Bugzee
"Come On! Bugzee! Attack me! I will not move!" Discord put a bullseye in his heck
"GAAAAAAHHHH!" Shout Nightmare Bugzee
A great wave of darkness is launched in front of Nightmare Bugzee and hit both clones of Nightshade, as the wave swallow them and go to Discord
"Glups... Maybe I need to think this a little better" Say Discord as he try to escape but chains appear from his own shadow and make him unable to move.
"Come on, Bugzee, my friend, it was a little joke! What is a joke between friends?" Ask Discord as a look of terror appear in his face.
"You got them Daddy, I'm better that those fakes!" Say Nightmare Bugzee moving the plushie and with the voice of Nightshade
NEW SKILL! Nightmare Bugzee: Wave of Darkness Learned
NEW SKILL Nightmare Bugzee: Shadow chains, Learned
Discord snaps his fingers to make it rain anvils and pianos.
Tirek calls him out when it starts raining on him too.
=============
The Nightmare comments on Tirek's "Wrist Jewelry" (a hint that this Tirek is obviously not as powerful as the Tirek that fought Twilight)
=============
Suddenly a Tatlzwurm bursts out of the ground from beside Tirek (causing the centaur to stumble) heading straight for Nightmare Bugze. At this, the Nightmare charges at the giant worm and says,
"What does a moron say before he dies?"
He then launches himself into the Tatlzwurm's mouth who proceeds to have a series of explosions before the Nightmare bursts out the other side yelling,
"YOLO!!!"*
Before using his Nightmare Tails to grab the body of the giant worm and use it as a giant club as Nightmare Bugze says,
Rrrright! It's bonking time! *smash* We luvs a bit o' bonking! *smash* Three! *smash* Four! *smash* Five, *smash* Six *smash* Seven- *smash* Can't remember the rest! *smash*
After "bonking" Discord and Tirek with the worm's body, the Nightmare smirks in satisfaction before Tirek gets up from the "bonking" in a daze...
*SMASH* "TWELVE!"
=======================
The Nightmare lands on Tirek's back as he stabs 6 Nightmare Tails through the back of his torso. Tirek yells in pain as the Nightmare starts tearing him open and declares,
"HERE'S JOHNNY!"
But then Nightmare Bugze goes, "Wait... IDEA!" and quickly uses his Nightmare Tails to seal Tirek back up before then violently bursting through the front of his chest. NB then turns to the Luna Plushie and says,
"Did ya see that honey! Daddy was a Xenomorph!"
As Tirek's body collapses behind him.
6159748
Uh... That actually means to utilize the city itself into fight scenes (smashing through buildings, throwing around pieces of the street, etc.)
And why did you take up 4 comments instead of condensing them all into one?
Alternatively, Tirek tries to absorb Nightmare's power, but the monster just unleashes an intense concentrated burst that knocks the Centaur back (imagine drinking from a water fountain that suddenly exerts the pressure of a fire engine's hose)
=====================
One Horde member stands on a ledge of a building and sprays whipped cream into his mouth before screaming,
"WITNESS ME!!!"
And jumping off the ledge with a pair of exploding spears and suicide-bombing onto Tirek.
Nightmare Bugze's (who was just blasted into a building) nightmare tail shoots out of the rubble holding a score sign reading "8.8"
6159761
Discord picks up one of the Pokeballs and declares, "Smooze, I choose you!"
As he throws it and summons a green blob that stands there for a few moments before suddenly changing size, turning purple, and aggressively tries to assimilate Nightmare Bugze, but then it starts... shrinking?
Soon the Smooze realizes that it is being eaten alive and turns back green as it tries to flee, but the Nightmare uses his tails to keep the blob heading towards its mouth before he devours it all and proclaims.
"Mmmm... Grape-Lemon-limey fusion!"
Discord can only blink as he comments,
"Wow... I guess something can stop the Smooze."
==============
Seeing how Nightmare Bugze is insane and joking all the time, he should pull a Spider-man (who also normally wisecracks alot during combat) and shut up and get serious when he's truly pissed (like this moment with Discord provoking him with Nightshades)
In a silent rage, Nightmare Bugze ups his game by turning into mist to evade Tirek and Discord's attacks as he starts brutalizing Discord; rapidly popping out of the mist to smash the Chaos Spirit in the face before popping back into the mist before he can be struck and repeating this tactic. Using shadow chains to keep him in place as he pulls another building on top of him, etc.
==================
"Alright you little cockroach..." Discord growls, "You like explosions? Then you're gonna LOVE this!"
(This from 0:51-2:24)
"Discord, I would appreciate it if you didn't destroy Equestria before I had a chance to rule it." Tirek calls out in annoyance.
"Relax Rekky!" Discord calls as he levitates above the smoke and snaps a glass of chocolate milk into his lion's arm, "There's still plenty of-*shink*"
Suddenly the Nightmare zooms out of the smoke and impales the Spirit of Chaos with a temple steeple.
"Pop pop goes the Disco-"
The Nightmare then senses something and turns around to see a big canister of gasoline coming at him.
"Us damn it..."
As the canister slams into the Nightmare and drags him into the ground he complains,
"Ow our third lung, This is so-*BOOM*"
===================
Nightmare Bugze grabs Discord's hands with two Nightmare Tails so he can't realty-warp snap as he squeezes the God of Chaos' head in his clawed hooves. As Discord cries out in agony, the Nightmare growls,
"You... Should have stayed asleep!" *CRACK/SQUISH*
The most random thing was in Nightmare Night... Nightshade making peace with Luna, and Bugzee thinking she brainwashed her.
P.S: I have the sensation that the TARDIS was stolen not by the Princesses but because The Doctor put the TARDIS in front of a NO PARKING signal
6159748 *squee*
I WAS MENTIONED! *rolls over laughing maniacally*
AND I AM EEEEEVIIIIL!

Discord & Tirek VS Bug... I mean Nightmare Bugze
As Discord and Tirek were thrown away from Nightmare You, a lone pony still stood nearby...
NY and the pony stared at eachother, before suddenly the pony began to laugh: "So you are the one who's been doing all this great work? Can't say I expected someone lesser, instead... I am a bit disappointed. Jackey the Ripper gets resurrected, supposed to only kill one bad guy... To get pardoned for all his crimes and get free reign. And now? Now it's just an ugly thing..."
NY looked around, before asking: "Oh, really? You know, the ugly things just flew away", at this he imitated Discord's voice," 'like a bird!' And are you important? I mean, I never really cared about history, so I guess you aren't, seeing how you will be, haha, history soon!"
Jack jumped up, showcasing his wings, and dashing at NY. NY sidestepped, and laughed: "Well well, now I remember! Well, Jack, I doubt you can really best me. I mean, your real name isn't even known!"
The former stopped, turned around and deadpanned: "Jack the Ripper IS my real name."
"Wait, and they still were unable to figure out YOU were the one doing all that? They really are even more incompetent than what they've showcased. Maybe you will be more fun!"
NY starts to climb like a 'Mane-iac' towards Jack. Jack takes out... a staff made out of crystal, with magical electricity running around it?
"I always wanted to try this out... and now I can! This will be the cleanest cutting I've ever done..."
He points the staff at NY, unleashing a stream of magic, purple twisting in with pink and lightblue...
NY visibly had problems moving forwards, its tails shimmering. "You want to play dirty? For that you won't pay dirty... Playing dirty is my thing! I mean, what should I do if everyone was allowed to do my thing? Nay, you shouldn't have done that!"
Two of his shimmering tails slung around the upper etages of nearby houses, pressing them into balls and throwing these at Jack: "Oh, I think you lost your BALLS!"
Jack flew up, and laughed: "Is that all you got? Stupid jokes? After I'm done with you EVERYONE WILL KNOW OF ME!"
NY chuckled (giggled? I guess chuckled because Bugze is male, but giggled because NMM is female... ARGH): "Nono, Jack, you were doing fine before your ham-hoofed attempt at a terrorist line! How typical of Jack the Ripper to chase a headline... Try for once Celestia, ask her how I got mine..."
NY took a cake Discord jumped out of earlier (he was trying to suckerpunch, it didn't work), and threw it at Jack.
"Bah! You seriously think that would work on me? And that joke 'bout 'tia is old...", as the cake hit him, he didn't even see it as a threat, it exploded and killed him.
"I don't mind that you're naughty, Jack, I hate that you're sloppy!", NY shouted after him. As he turned around, he saw Tirek and Discord coming back, "Finally..."
-----
Later
-----
"ENOUGH!", Tirek shouted this and jumped towards NY, yet again.
"Wonderful. That's just in time Tirek. What a dutiful villain you are... As it so happens, I could use another burst of magic."
NY grabbed him with his tails, and started to stretch him in all directions, while pouring magic out of him and inhaling it like Tirek would normally do...
"AAAAAAAAAAAARGH! AAAAAAAAAAA... Good acting, right?", Tirek asked, as he broke out of it and opened his mouth:
"What..."
"You can't steal my powers without dropping your own barriers! I bet you never thought your godly powers could be taken away! But you were wrong, they will be mine now!"
At this he started to absorb NY's magic. NY just grinned, before the magicflow stopped, and reversed.
Discord stared at this for a second, before he summoned up a massive amount of spikes and threw them between the two. This disrupted the absorbtion, but Tirek was left much weaker... and NY gained a new tail.
The most random thing if you ask me was when we sung terror time again except offender style
When the doctor is working on the TARDIS you looked out of what's left of the window in the castle and wonder.
So this is our future if we went back to Appaloosa. you thought watching the carnage of that is happening as buildings being destroy. warriors helping the wounded to the safe zones.
I believe so my friend seeing the world of Equestria burn all around us. This isn't how I would picture a Equestria when I try to rule this world. Selena replied
Why? How you would you picture Equestria ? you asked
I don't know maybe less death and more darker where there is no sun light. Have you forgotten my real name?
Nope question hows Nightsade doing is she still asleep?
Yes she is doing good and yes she is still asleep.
Good I don't want her to see this any of this. you then sighed
"You ok bugsy" a voice asked when you turned to the voice you see Derpy walking towards you.
"A little. I'm starting to think going to appaloosa would be bad idea. I mean the reason you two made me go to ponyvile was to pay back a debt that didn't happen."
"Yes we are sorry about but it was the only way not to tell you what would happen in the future. you how he is with the whole time travel thing." she said feeling bad for it
"Yhea I do. If I went back to ponyvile all this won't have happened but it's just that I don't want to go bad I'm nervous about everling knows my true self. knowing that BST is a changeling."
"know why would you say that?" Derpy asked
"It because Applejack has this spell that see through my shape shifting powers whenever I try to blending in with the crowd she always sees right through me. However with the cloths the doctor gave me and the potions from Zecora I don't know how long I can last without them spotting me and chasing around town again. I just want to go home never see pony vile again." you replied
"You are just thinking about what would happen if you are spotted by the mane 6 never the good side of it. I mean look." she points to what's left of equestria "all this would never happen. You would have a daughter, a wonderful family, friends that would look out for you and a life that you always want." Derpy explained.
"Yes but that is when I'm BST not Bugsy or the hood offender."
"The hood offender is long gone remember you closed down the horde to save us. Bugsy can show himself to those that really care for you. For example fluttershy she saved your life a few time and she never told her friends your identity. Same with princes Cadence and Zecroa they will always be there for you and keep your true self a secret."
As Derpy words sink all the pain and fear was being washed away.
"Thank you Derpy. when we get back to pony vile I will stay there for good. In fact I have been having a good life there I got a job, made friends, pony that would look out for me, going on adventures with the powers I have learned using them for good for everling and pony. All that is missing is get the mare that is right for me and then my whole life is complete." you said with a smile on your face.
"If you ever need a place to stay other than that place you live in you can move in at my places I think I might have some spare beds for you and nightshade." Derpy asked
"Thanks Derpy I will keep that offer in mind. You know after everything I have been through all the pain, the fear and trouble I have went through I always get back up and kept on going never give up. No matter how hard lady luck ruins my day I kept on going to the end. No matter how hard my enemy's try to kill me I kept on flighting using my powers for good. To help and save lives not destroying them I never become that thing that is me." You said as the sun starts to shine on you.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have a question when you say nightshade doesn't show up. You mean like we can't interact with her. The reason I'm asking is that I'm thinking we should hand her over to the doctor and Derpy for safe keeping while we get our selves ready for the fight of our lives.
6160726
I was the one who suggested the group hug and welcoming Shadow Bugzee to the family.
"You know..." it began to speak. "Discord, out of everyling who I know, YOU were the one who had the most fault into this! You made everyling forget all the good things I did, all the nice things I said, helped make everypony continue to hate me..." He trails off, but returns to his upbeat attitude all the same. "But who cares now? It's the ponies' fault for fighting when they still know what I could do at the Gala anyways. That's all in the past now."
Discord smiles in humor. "Now, that would be nice, would it? No distractions, no moral dilemmas, just good ol' chaos pals getting to know each other with a heartful reunion!" Then, at an instant as it appears, the smile turns into a frown. "Too bad I'm here to kill you."
The Nightmare then... chuckles. As though he hears a very funny joke, which may as well as be a sick punchline that could make even Pinkemena go green, but then it turns into full blown laughter. The tone of the cackles forces even Discord to shiver. "Ahahaha Oh! Oh! Oh, I'm sorry, how very rude of me. Ahaha. It's just that that's so UNLIKE you! You're suddenly being all so orderly and just and stuff!"
Discord gives a glare. "I'm afraid that's not quite the case."
"What? Really now?" it jeers. "Because, like, I don't remember you ever showing up ever since my enthusiastic walk all across Equis! What were you doing then? Sitting here all day, everyday, laying low because the Princess tells you to?" By the wince that he receives, the Nightmare snaps a mad grin. "Oh, you did! Ahahaha!" His laugh lasts long and hard, until, finally, he began to stop, wheezing a but. "And you wanna know the funny part? This chaos was what you wanted in the first place! And now you're trying to stop it!"
"Enough!" Tirek yells. "This has gone on long enough! It ends today, and then I shall finally rule all the land for my own!"
The grin on the Nightmare's face only widens. "Bring it on, old fart!"
------
Discord has the most serious expression in face, which is perhaps the first time in history. He levitates the rubble around him, and then he morphs them together to form a massive column of debris. With a snap of his talons, it became...
"Ooooh~! Is that a gigantic, metal fly swatter?" the Nightmare asks in muse.
"Why, yes," Discord replied as Tirek makes to jump away. "Made in China, just for you."
"I'm very flattere--"
The gigantic swatter smashes down into the street, broke through the stones, through the earth, and through even the Nightmare's impossible strength. The entire street practically shatters! Dust swept, and even Tirek has to bring an arm to cover his eyes from the dust.
Discord just simply summons a gas mask. When Discord lifts the swatter away, it reveals a crater flatter than a pancake, with the bug of the joke in the middle of it. Indeed, the bug is flatter than flattery.
...And then the Nightmare pops back into his original size. "Oh! I get it! Nice one! Too bad it's a bit cliche by now."
The fly swatter squashes him again.
With a pop, he yells, "Oh, you wanna play it like that, huh?!" So, he promptly grabs a nearby building several lengths bigger than him with all of his shadow tails. "Good thing I've practiced being a good Dirty Dan!"
Smash!
Discord pops back into shape with a growl, and with all of his might, he swung the fly swatter at him. "You? Dirty Dan? No! I am!"
NY replied with the building. "No, I'm Dirty Dan!"
Smash! "I'm Dirty Dan!"
Smash! "Shut up! I'm Dirty Dan!"
Smash! "You are no fit! I am!"
Smash! "Buck you! I'm Dirty Dan!"
Then, suddenly, Discord stops. "...Who is Dirty Dan, actually?" Only for Nightmare Bugze to continue on smashing him away.
"I'mDirtyDanI'mDirtyDanI'mDirtyDanI'mDirtyDan!"
-----
"Fight harder! Fight harder!" it shouts with glee as Tirek absorbs its magical attacks.. "I wanna have some fun!"
"Fool!" Tirek cackles cockily. "With every bit of magic you use, I get stronger and powerfu--Urgh!"
The centaur was interrupted by a seering pain his chest. The Nightmare just politely, well, as politely as an insane person gets, stops attacking.
"Aww, what's wrong? Weren't you going to say something?" It cocks its head to the side, as though it is a child talking to a pet. "Aren't you going to say your Villain's Speech of Exposition? It's boring if an epic fight doesn't have one, and unsatifying if I don't get to prove you wrong."
Tirek rubs his chest. "H-how? I'm suppose to be able to digest all forms of magic!"
The Nightmare makes a mock gesture of shock. "Pah! Really?! All forms of magic?" Then, he laughs uproariously. "What bucking idiot eats tangible Killing Intent? Ahahahaha. You killing me, goatface, you killing me!" Suddenly, he stops. He gives an eye glance, and Tirek could feel all the malice teeming--no, pouring out of it, bearing down into his very soul. "Nah. You're just killing yourself."
And, as if on cue, Tirek felt his chest burst. A feeling. The feeling of a sharp blade plunging out of his chest, and he could do nothing but scream. He brought a hand to his chest in reflex, hoping, anything, to somehow get rid of the blade. But when he his hands touches the spot, he blinked. There is nothing there.
"Ghahaahaha!" the Nightmare laughed. "You should've seen the look on your face! Ahahahaha!"

Dear Author: How the fuck do you have the patience to make all of these long ass comments into a readable and acceptable form? As of right now, I'm struggling to even think about posting my long comment and add to the weight of this already heavy ship. It took me a bit of consideration and a reminder of my prior commitments to fight scenes to even conceive this bit.
For the question for today: During Bugze's free-for-all at the Mare-Do-Well episode, he was stealing a cereal box of a rare, and banned, brand. Yeah. It's significantly random because of how insignificant it was, Just, steal a box of cereal because... Reasons.
*Final Edit*
6161448
Well I have alot of patience when it comes to giving you all the best chapter I can. That and I have really great editors to help me out.
So make your comment as long as you like it! Oh and if you answered the AN question that would be just awesome!
6161209
oops sorry
let me delete it
I should have read the question more careful.
Discord pulls a Gatling gun out of nowhere and sprays NB with rainbow bolts and bullets. Tirek attempts to suck the magic out of NB and fails miserably due to an inverse spell NB pulls out just in time that reverses the affects of the tyrant's usual magic sucking powers.
As you walk away from the frozen Cultist, one of your hooves hits against something. Looking down, you see a golden pen lying on the ground. Your greed and curiosity compel you to pick it up with your forehoof, and you slowly examine the pen. Near the bottom in silver letters is written Chekov’s Pen.
“Interesting name.” You think to yourself. You decide to add the pen to your Inventory. It might be useful later on
Chekov’s Pen added to Inventory
(After Nightmare has defeated Tirek and Discord)
Nightmare sat on the rooftop,looking over the ruined city. Spotting a patrol of griffins below, he leaps off the building and lands in front of them. “Hello, lovely day it’s been hasn’t it?”
“Attack!” The lead griffin shouts. The soldiers charge at Nightmare only to be knocked aside by his tails. One grabs the griffin leader and drags him over to Nightmare. “Let me go!”
“Just a second,” he says, “I feel a song coming on.” Music starts playing softly and he takes a breath, before crushing the lead griffin with his tail.
All of this death, it’s just so great.
He grins savagely at the recovering griffins
Don’t bother to run, it’s far too late,
You see I really like to kill things, especially stuff that snaps in half
He grabs the rest of the griffins with his tails and starts walking down the street, looking around at the destruction.
I see this city, what does it hold? Wondering if I should butcher them or watch the slaughter unfold?
Fighting me now sure you’d think
All of his tails squeeze and all of the griffins explode in a shower of blood.
‘He’s a pathological, bloodthirsty, homicidal, maniac!’
Nightmare grabs his Inventory and starts pulling out random items including skulls, a glowing fork, a black cloak with a red trim, and a T-shirt that has a bipedal creature with the words ‘FOR PONY!’ on it.
I’ve killed griffins and ponies and bronies,
I’ve maimed pegasisters and gods and then more
Finally, he pulls out a belt of grenades and tosses it into the nearest building.
You see a house? I see a crater.
He blasts the grenades with a magic bolt and the build disappears in a massive explosion. When the smoke clears, there’s only a smoldering crater.
But what then?
He pulls out several more belts and throws them around randomly.
Can’t you see? I’ll make moooooooooore!
Several blast of magic soon follow and everything around Nightmare becomes a mass of burning flames. When they die down, he runs to the next section to find more victims.
I love to incinerate and decapitate,
I want to melt
Spotting a group of ponies trying to flee the battle, NIghtmare rummages around in the Inventory and pulls out a jar of acid and chucks it at them. The jar breaks on the lead pony’s head and he starts screaming as the acid eats away at him.
Want to melt some ponies
Mocking the princesses while they-
What do they call it? Ahh, Grieve!
Another blast of magic kills the rest of the ponies and he moves on.
I suppose that being insane there’s no point to love,
Doesn’t matter since I have my daughter Nightshade
He take the Luna Plushie from his back and hugs it before putting it back.
Since I have her I’m free to
Turning a corner, he sees another group of soldiers. At the same time they spot him and charge, letting out a war cry.
Arrgh what that word again?
A massive ball of energy gathers at the tip of his tails and his eyes turn red.
HATE!!
He fires it at the soldiers, cutting a massive swath of destruction that takes them out and a good section of Canterlot as well.
You’ve nowhere to hide, nowhere to run,
This city will burn like the heart of the sun!
With infinite glee, it’s gonna be me,
That slaughters the world!
Nightmare Bugze hisses in pain as several spears stab into his back. Looking up, he sees several griffins flying above him, grabbing some more spears to throw at him.
How can I not glare at these guards and then not smash them?
How could I stare at their deaths and then not laugh?
He grabs them spears from his back and throws them back at the griffins, killing all of them except for one, which gets hit in the wing and crashes to the ground.
I’ll tear them in half
Then I’ll snap all of the bones in their bodies,
Or after I crush them, I’ll take what’s left of them and feed the graaaaaaaassss!
I am a bug who just wants a hug,
Have some urges and need to fulfill them,
After this chaos I simply don’t
What’s the word?
CAAAAAARE!!
Seeing where the griffin fell, Nightmare slowly stalks over, two orbs appearing above his head, crackling with energy. The griffin tries to desperately reach for a spear that’s just out of reach as he gets closer.
The stench in the air! The smell of the gore! The carnage far greater than any waaaaaaaaar!
Suddenly, Nightmare stops and the orbs disappear, a sad expression on his face.
Why can’t they see?
He sits down and looks forlornly at the sky.
I’m just being… me
I’ll slaughter the woooooor-
“OWWWW!” Nightmare screamed. He looked down see that the griffin had stabbed him in the chest with a spear, “You stabbed me in the chest!”
“You destroyed Equestria!” the griffin shouted back.
“You stabbed me in the chest!”
“You destroyed Equestria!”
“You stabbed me in the bucking chest!” Nightmare grabbed the spear with a tail and pulled it out. “But you know what? I can forgive that, I’ve been stabbed a lot. You know what I can’t forgive?” He glared at the now trembling griffin, “Interrupting MY SONG!!!! So tell me, what’s your favorite organ?”
“W-w-what?”
“Kidney it is!” Three tails stab into the unfortunate griffin and rip him apart before grabbing a kidney (that for some reason has a feather on it.) and placing it on Nightmare’s head.
Item Get: Richard’s hat
In all honesty, Bugze himself is random. Seriously, think about it. A changeling that has Nightmare Moon sealed in him, had a love child with said entity, uses items and moves from multiple franchises, has anger management issues that make the freaking Hulk seem calm at times, living in Ponyville using a disguise that really shouldn't work, and listens to the voices in his head that direct his every action. You really can't get more random that.
For those who don't feel like clicking the link, here's the video that i got the idea from.
The Nightmare is divebombed from above by the Bugbear. The stinger of it lodged in his chest.
“This is for Ponyville you motherbucker!” Bon Bon shouts as she makes the Bugbear drag the Nightmare through the streets, tearing them up in the process,
“This is for Fluttershy! For Octavia and Vinyl! For everypony!"
She then has the Bugbear throw the Nightmare into a jagged piece of building, impaling him.
"And that one was for Lyra! She was the best friend in the whole wide world... I LOVED HER! She believed in you, I believed in you! But you took her away from me!”
As the Nightmare attempts to dislodge itself, the bugbear then dives in and grabs the Nightmare.
“They thought you were a hero! I thought you were a hero! We were the horde, and we were going to help you! But you killed us all! Your own followers! WHY?!”
The Bugbear then flies high and starts squeezing the Nightmare into its chest, and some cracking is heard...
“WHY?! WHY?! WHYYYYYYY?!!!” she yells, before suddenly a dark energy blast forces the nightmare and the bugbear apart.
“Why?” the Nightmare answers as he falls and lands on the roof of a bulding, “Why you ask?”
“YES!” she screams.
“Well the answer is easy… Why not?”
“What?”
“Why not? Follower blood flows just as good as other blood, so why the buck not?”
“THEY WERE MY FRIENDS! THEY CARED FOR YOU WHEN NO ONE ELSE WOULD!”
“Well maybe if they had picked a better name we wouldn’t have had to crush them… probably not, but still…” it says nonchalantly.
“GGGGRRRRRAAAAAGGGHHHHH!!!!” she screams in rage as she charges the bugbear towards the nightmare. As she dive-rams the Nightmare repeatedly she says,
"And what about those poor souls in Fillydelphia?! You killed them all for fun! Even after those six won you killed them! And they worshiped you like a god!"
"OK, One; we ARE a god, make no mista-" *wham* "Two; That fanatic free for all rumble was like uber levels of awesomeness! You should've seen it they were going all 'The Purge' on each other... only this didn't suck because Michael Beigh wasn't a part of-" *wham* "Three; Those six would've died from their injuries anyway, seriously, what good are soldiers if they can barely even walk? We're nothing if not merci-" *wham* "And finally...
Nightmare Bugze then launches himself at the Bugbear as it comes in for another attack,
"If you miss them so much, GO JOIN THEM!"
Before grabbing the earth pony mare and throwing her down towards Canterlot where she smashes into a candy store that explodes... for some reason.
Nightmare Bugze then claws his way up Bugbear's back (as it flies around the Canterlot airspace (thus Tirek and Discord can't get clear shots at the Nightmare) and struggles to shake/knock the monster off) before either:
A. Jamming some of his Nightmare Tails into its skull to take direct control of its brain
B. Jamming all of it's Nightmare Tails into the upper part of it's spine at the back of its neck and wraps the Nightmare Tails around the bones of Bugbear's wings, legs, and 4 arms to forcibly take puppet-like control of it
After initial steering difficulties ("Ugh! You handle worse than the bucking carriage!"), Nightmare Bugze manages to essentially "drive" Bugbear and uses it to smash into/attack Discord and Tirek.
"WEEEE! We are the night! Heeheehee"
At the end of his flight (Bugbear gets too damaged or Nightmare Bugze gets bored) the Nightmare steers the Bugbear towards Tirek/DIscord as it wraps it's nightmare tails inside and outside the Bugbear's head before proclaiming,
"Hi! We are the Nightmare!"
With a vicious turn of it's tails, it snaps the Bugbear's neck before using the massive corpse's momentum to crush the powerhouses as he says,
"And welcome to Jackass!!!"

When asked how she got all these characters, Luna responds that she gathered a bunch of ordinary ponies and had Discord give them costumes and powers based on her video games.
"If the classics won't work, perhaps more modern methods shall prevail!" Luna says.
On cue, a squad of commandos with guns run out in a disiplined formation with the lead one in a Boonie Hat ordering,
"TF-141, spread out in Foxtrot-Uniform-Charlie-Kilo formation stat!"
With that the squad spreads out... and starts swearing and cursing like a bunch of immature frat-ponies as they just spray-and-pray while insulting each others weapons and "skillz".
The Nightmare picks up one of the assault rifles and throws it so hard that the gun impales the lead pony in the face and somehow keeps firing until it kills the other squad members as they run past him
For the last surviving commando, time seems to slow down as he slowly draws a pistol, puts the Nightmare in his sights, and...
"Hey dudebro, this is your dramatic slow-mo. Not ours."
With that, the Nightmare crushes the commando with a huge rock.
"I knew I shouldn't have recruited those frat-colts!" Luna curses.

While the Doctor and Derpy are working on the TARDIS, you ask Selena,
Hey Selena, how are we so powerful?
I believe we already had this conversation.
Yeah, but based on what I remember about Nightmare Moon, she- I mean you never showed this much power when in the body of an alicorn. How is it I- he can have so much raw power in spite of being in the body of a changeling?
Selena is about to respond when the Doctor interrupts,
"I believe I have a theory. Imagine 2 balloons: One small and one big. Now imagine that they both are filled with a large amount of water. Even though the larger balloon can contain the water more stable-y, the smaller balloon will have more pressure and thus will expel the water more forcibly when released."
"That makes sense." you respond, "But shouldn't that mean I should eventually burst like... Well a balloon filled with too much water?"
If you recall our conversation back at the spa, I did say your 'Nightmare Tails' as you dubbed them, serve as outlets for excess power. Not to mention that your Earth pony blood provides your body with a higher degree of durability than mere ordinary changelings.
LATER
Alternatively, Tirek tries to absorb Nightmare's power, but the monster just unleashes an intense concentrated burst that knocks the Centaur back (imagine drinking from a water fountain that suddenly exerts the pressure of a fire engine's hose)
6167726 Do you think it could be good to put also Solid Snake as a pony? Only for Luna talk with him in radio and when Nightmare Bugzee defeat him.
