Jugemu
by Present Perfect
At first, Twilight wasn't sure she'd traveled anywhere at all. Oh sure, she was outside the palace walls now, not to mention, as she turned a circle, there was no Friendship Palace here to begin with. All things considered, this Ponyville looked as it had before she had become a princess and fought Tirek.
"Did I travel back in time by mistake?"
No sooner had the words left her mouth when Twilight saw the first sign that things were truly different here.
Twilight recognized the carrot vendor from Ponyville's marketplace. That yellow coat and those orange curls could belong to nopony else. She was, if Twilight wasn't mistaken, Applejack's neighbor, and grew her carrots on a plot of land she rented from the Apples.
What told Twilight that the multiversal translocation spell had, in fact, worked were the carrot-seller's wings and horn.
As Twilight watched, the pony -- whose bunch-of-carrots cutie mark gave no indication how she might have achieved Princesshood, nor what she might be princess of -- spread wings shaped like Twilight's own, taking off with explosive force.
Her attention drawn upward, Twilight gasped. The sky was full of alicorns! Many of them were ponies she knew by name; all were familiar faces from around Ponyville!
"An Equestria populated entirely by alicorns?" She could barely speak, so awed was she. Never in her wildest dreams could Twilight have imagined such a majestic and poignant sight. What would the other Princesses, alone all these centuries, give to know that there were more out there like them? The very thought brought tears to her eyes.
This is why she was caught completely off guard when two of the alicorns -- one of them looked like Derpy -- suddenly began shouting at one another. She couldn't make out what they were saying, nor could she determine what had gotten them so riled up. They hadn't been close enough to bump into each other or anything. After a few moments of verbal back-and-forth, Derpy drew a long scythe from seemingly nowhere, while her opponent pulled out a spear from, again, no discernable place. The weapons glowed as if heated in a forge, and a second later, both alicorns were using them to shoot lasers at each other.
Twilight's right eyelid twitched. "What."
"AH-HA!"
The somewhat familiar voice to Twilight's left snapped her from her stupor. Turning, she saw, yes, another alicorn. This one looked -- she could hardly believe her eyes -- like Fluttershy. Except for the black streaks in her mane and tail. And the black makeup that looked like mascara running all around her eyes. And the feral sneer painted across her face.
"Thought you could hide from me, eh?" she growled in a most un-Fluttershy-like way. "Twilight Celestia Goku Ulysses Kamen Rider Drive the Hedgehog IV! I, Flutter Celestia Rukia Renamon Asami Dot Widowmaker vas Normandy VI hereby challenge you to combat!"
Fluttershy, whatever she said her name was -- Twilight had lost track after 'Celestia' -- reached back beneath her wings. Pulling forward, two batons emerged with her hooves. Up close, Twilight couldn't say how she'd done it. She'd watched Fluttershy's horn, and there had been no outward sign of magic. More worrisome was the light coming off the batons. Fluttershy, standing upright, held them parallel to her forelegs as they glowed an angry yellow.
"Arm yourself!" she shouted.
Twilight took a step back. "Fluttershy, why are you doing this? And how could there have been five ponies with that exact name?"
"What?" Fluttershy's mouth curled in stricken horror. "You can't just call me Fluttershy! You have to use the whole thing! The rules say so!"
"I'm sorry, I don't quite follow." Shaking her head, Twilight continued to backpedal. "Look, I don't know what's going on around here, but it's obvious I don't belong. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll just be going--"
"But, but..." Fluttershy's stance sagged and her lower lip jutted out. "It's not fair! I just challenged you to combat." She stomped her hoof. "You have to fight me! I'm gonna tell!"
Twilight was momentarily torn between comforting the trembling alicorn who looked vaguely like her friend and magicking the butt out of there. Her concentration was broken by a second voice out of the sky.
"And just what are you gonna tell them, Flutter Celestia Rukia Renamon Asami Dot Widowmaker vas Normandy VI?"
"Pinkie?" Twilight squeaked, recognizing the voice.
Again, the alicorn bore only the vaguest resemblance to her longtime friend. She was properly pink on pink, but her mane was flat instead of curly, and her mouth, it seemed, was lined with sharp teeth. She came out of the sky like a thunderbolt, shaking the ground between Twilight and Fluttershy while cackling demonically.
She thrust her hoof at Twilight and declared, "That's Pinkamina Celestia Freakazoid Murderface Onyxia Megatron Alucard Sasuke Puella Magi Papyrus XII to you!" Moving like a cobra, she swung her head toward Fluttershy, who seemed to have perked up, bouncing on her rear hooves as Pinkie continued speaking.
"A timid, crybaby alicorn such as you could never hope to defeat a warrior like me! I hereby challenge you, Flutter Celestia Rukia Renamon Asami Dot Widowmaker vas Normandy VI, to mortal combat, Pinkamina Celestia Freakazoid Murderface Onyxia Megatron Alucard Sasuke Puella Magi Papyrus XII style!"
Fluttershy's eyes shone with feral intensity as Pinkie, etc. etc., drew an enormous hammer from behind herself. Despite the fact that Twilight was behind Pinkie, she still had no idea where the darned thing had come from. Tiring of the inexplicable, and fearing the impending battle, she took cover in a nearby bush.
"Pinkamina Celestia Freakazoid Murderface Onyxia Megatron Alucard Sasuke Puella Magi Papyrus XII!" shouted Fluttershy, hefting her batons. "Prepare yourself!"
Pinkie crouched low, the hammer held high above her head. "I was born ready, Flutter Celestia Rukia Renamon Asami Dot Widowmaker vas Normandy VI!"
The head of the hammer glowed green. The batons shone like miniature suns.
"Stop this, both of you!" Twilight shouted, though she had a feeling it would amount to nothing. "You're supposed to be friends!"
The air was rent by the shriek of energy beams lancing from the two weapons. Though they both roared wordlessly, neither alicorn moved. It didn't help that Twilight's vision was quickly obscured as the storm of lasers kicked up a cloud of dust. It was just one more impossibility to add to the list today.
She also tried not to be too concerned by the fact that this moment would have been the perfect one to escape. But she just couldn't go without knowing what had happened to the two alicorns. She began weaving the first line of matrices for her travel spell, just in case.
At long last, the dust cleared. There was no trace of Fluttershy. Pinkie, still holding the same stance, panted hard. She stood, twirling her hammer, and replaced it behind herself, where it disappeared. Turning, she grinned triumphantly at where Twilight had been.
"Flutter Celestia Rukia Renamon Asami Dot Widowmaker vas Normandy VI!" she shouted. "You were a fool to think you could defeat somepony with more names than you! Now I, Pinkamina Celestia Freakazoid Murderface Onyxia Megatron Alucard Sasuke Puella Magi Papyrus Fluffle Puff XII, am the strongest pony in Equestria!"
"You killed her," Twilight breathed, forgetting for the moment that she was supposed to be hiding. Tears sprang to her eyes. "She was your friend, and you killed her. For a name?"
Pinkie rolled her eyes. "Well, duh. She'll respawn tomorrow as Flutter Celestia Rukia Renamon Asami Dot Widowmaker vas Normandy VII and try to defeat me again." She grinned and polished a hoof on her chest. "Not that any old pony can defeat the mighty Pinkamina Celestia--"
Twilight had heard enough. She leapt from her hiding bush and galloped off toward where her castle should be. All around her, alicorns swooped down from the heavens, shouting challenge after challenge.
"I, Golden Celestia Doctor Who Malfoy--"
"No, I, Noteworthy Celestia Cersei Xerneas--"
"Not before I, Cloud Celestia Doomguy Jotaro--"
Twilight shut her eyes and kept running as the second and third layers of the spell built. By the time each alicorn had finished reciting its name, she was well outside their range and their attention would have diverted to somepony else.
Twilight was almost at the site she had entered this universe when a seven-colored blur swept down across her.
"Stop right there, Twilight Celestia Goku Ulysses Kamen Rider Drive the Hedgehog IV!" shouted the mare from behind her. "For I, Rainbow Celestia Kaiba--"
"Nope!" yelled Twilight, and released the spell.
When she awoke, Twilight was surrounded by the familiar walls of her castle. She immediately started making out with the nearest colonnade, moaning thank yous, until she heard a voice behind her.
"Twilight, did you get into Pinkie's secret stash again?"
Twilight spun around, cheeks burning. Spike stood behind her, holding something she couldn't make out and looking rather bemused.
"Spike!" she cried, and jumped on him, hugging him tightly. "I was just in the most horrible place!"
"Gah!" Spike yelled, pushing feebly against her. "Lay off the mushy stuff, sister!"
"I'm just so happy to see you!" she said, wiping tears from her eyes. Clearing her throat, she stood and helped him up, then gave him a suspicious look. "Wait. Your name is just Spike, right?"
"Uh... yeah?"
"It doesn't contain the word 'Celestia' or anything that sounds like it came out of one of your Neighponese comics?"
Spike frowned. "They're called 'manga', Twilight."
"And there's only one you, right?"
He threw his hands up. "Yes! I'm Spike the Dragon, the one and only!"
She smiled, relaxing. "Thank goodness. Have I got a story to tell you later!" Stretching a little, she smacked her lips. "But first, I think that spell took a lot out of me. You hungry?"
"Nah," he said, climbing onto her back as she made her way toward the dining room and kitchen, "I just ate. But your friends are all here, so we can begin the feast!"
"Feast?" The word caught her off guard.
Spike didn't reply, so Twilight stayed quiet. Sure enough, when they reached the castle dining hall, all her friends were there, even Starlight Glimmer.
And also herself.
"Wait," said Spike. "If you're here, but also there, then that means..."
Twilight's eyes shrank to pinpricks as she realized what the ponies were eating.
The table -- not to mention the floor, walls, and part of the ceiling -- was covered in blood, skin, entrails and organs of all manner of description. Her gall rising, Twilight reared back and loosed a bloodcurdling shriek. Her friends and doppelganger did the same, except that their screams were accompanied by their faces splitting open vertically to reveal sharp fangs dripping with ichor. And tentacles springing from their manes and backs. Lots of tentacles.
Twilight screamed louder.
In the kitchen doorway, a green-maned purple alicorn stepped into view, surveying the screaming pony-things. The purple and indigo dragon on his back rubbed her eyes, as though she had just woken from a nap.
"Did we make it home okay?" asked Twilight the Dragon.
Prince Spike frowned at the female alicorn and male dragon on the other side of the gore-soaked room.
"Not this shit again."

I think you have captured perfectly where the show will be in a few years.
If this dimension were to exist and come into ours somehow...lord, help us all....
7351852
No! That was the whole point of Like a G5! D:
My brain hurts.
You must now refer to me as:
Reginald Fantasy Epic Totally Rad Thomas Indestructible Llama Stephens XV
Don't ask about the llama...
um, this is the origin image

How did you learn about my home dimension?!
I, Twinkle Celestia Ranma BoBoBo Peridot Ice Bear Nitz Gandhi Ambrose McCree Burgerpants IV, will have your head!
an entire universe where all ponies are alicorns and anime-like
so it's M. A. Larson-Verse: The Anime
This is the reason I love this fandom. Well, this and so many other stories like it.
Now if only we could get PresentPerfect to review it...
Saw the title of the story and thought it was familiar for some reason. Then I saw the chapter name and knew exactly what I was in for.
What a Super Trampoline-esque chapter title!
Well, this was ... a thing. I'm just gonna say I don't care for it, downvote it, and move on with my life, because I have nothing nice to say. Oh, wait, I guess the spelling and grammar were fine. So there's something nice. Yay.
Okay... That was weird. Weird doesn't always mean it's a bad thing though. God, I love a good anime parody.
You suck
7351888
There are two versions on derpibooru. That one was uploaded later, as far as I can tell.
7351957
I hope you're proud. V:
This is what brought it all home
Ha.

You had too much fun with this.
absoluteanime.com/yu-gi-oh/seto%5B4%5D.jpg
huehuehue obligatory drug reference
This was exceedingly dumb and pointless.
I approve, of course.
Twilight should really leave exploring probability space to the professionals. Still, a very amusing worldline, this.
7351925
We'd have to call in one of his alternate selves. I recommend Present Horizon Trampoline Estee Pascoite Archonix in Gardez and Explosions IX.

Anime parodies are stupid.

um.. , well, your version is 229173 https://derpibooru.org/229173
(3 years ago)
and the origin version is 32236 https://derpibooru.org/32236
(4 years ago)
it is obvious your image link is edited origin image by "who like alicorn drama" ..
================
Because you cut off those "alicorn drama" words, so I think you want to know where the real origin image is.
And put the real image link on "Source link" , is a respect for artist.
That was horrible. And I liked it
7352031 It comes with the Princess-Slayer title, but most ponies don't toggle that on in their interface.
7352331
Thusly began Twilight Sparkle's ill-fated quest to earn the name Princess-Slayer Princess Twilight Sparkle Celestia Cream Pie. Present Perfect, I do hope you're taking notes.
7352008
Uh, obviously they're all alicorns, so they have to be called Celestia. It's in the rules!
Fun trivia: As I recall, 'Celestia' was originaly only in one of their names, I think Fluttershy's, as something of a dig at alicorn OCs who are the children of royalty. But while writing this, as I had lost my original notes some time ago, it just sort of naturally fell into place in all their names. I like it. :D
7352109
Huh, so it is. I'll change that, thanks. :)
...now I'm picturing a MLP/Paranoia crossover.
cf.geekdo-images.com/images/pic506681.jpg
As if I didn't have enough to do already.
Hang about. Is that chapter title from the Joshiraku OP, perchance?
The author conjoured this up by eating too much doritos for breakfast. Might as well give a like for the bloodbath scene...
7353739
No, Joshiraku got it from classic Japanese folkstories. :V
I'm just laughing my butt off with the super-long names. Now, if you'll excuse, me, I must create my own stupid-long name. Hey, how's this for starters? Dragon Celestia Annihilation Alphys Samwise Coulson Hasselhoff
Coraline Kandaina Bulma . . .
With a name and title this, I expected the description to be "Rainbow Dash is still flying East."
But none could compete with Valentinez Alkalinella Xifax Sicidabohertz Gumbigobilla Blue Stradivari Talentrent Pierre Andry Charton-Haymoss Ivanovici Baldeus George Doitzel Kaiser III!
7354043
Well, yeah, but I was asking where you got it.
So, the only thing missing is Quill Mellowy and Professor Arch Trough.
...
...
Sliiiiiiiders.
7354191
This guy gets it.
7354229
This title is considerably more pronounceable. :B
7354520

7352008
Because http://www.fimfiction.net/story/313940/princess-celestias-legendary-litany-of-laughable-losses
Actually, coming back to this... a tournament based around literally kicking ass and taking names sounds both hilarious and actually kinda compelling
I want to use this now.
Wow. I got lost so easily. I would never travel alternate timelines. Bad idea.
XD great story
The ending is basically this
How has this not been linked yet?
8193958
Because the original version I linked in the author's note has apparently been taken down. :C
8194166 Oh
Wonder why.
