I hang out in the Cool Kids Club to feel good about myself

In some of the stories woven for us by Friendship is Magic, our ponies face tests to their Element of Harmony, and to their very nature. Now, in the show, they always succeeded. But what if they failed? What if the magic of friendship wasn't enough to pull them out of the pit they dug for themselves..?

How could the Elements pull through?
And what happens when the most powerful of the six has nopony to stop her?

The first step of the Enervation Sequence.

All criticism welcome!
It may be physically impossible to have a lower opinion of my work than I do already.
First time writing ponies.
Thanks,
Journcy Out.

EDIT: Fixed some formatting issues.

Whoa.:rainbowderp:At least Applejack isn't dead. I will be watching this.:raritystarry:

Update! This chapter is significantly longer. I guess I just had more to write.
I hope you people aren't against significant levels of dark, because this gets kind of worse.
Again, please, all criticism welcomed with open arms!
Thanks!
Journcy Out.
:twilightsmile:

Dark, is good...This is good :pinkiecrazy: :pinkiecrazy:

I updated stuff!
Namely, I added coverart, fancy opening text for the chapters, and a link to each poster. The posters of course being original designs by TehJadeh, predating this story by a good margin. All credit to her!
That is all.

I posted that comment before I uploaded Chapter Two.
But it may get worse still..!

Very, very sorry this took so long. I wrote bits and pieces, but I never made myself sit down and finish it until now.
Hopefully you all still care enough to read.
I also hope you find this chapter agreeable enough to merit the wait.
Well, that's more or less impossible when you're talking ~1,500 words in two and a half months, but hopefully you'll like it anyway.
We've lost Pinkie, friends.
:pinkiecrazy:
That is all.

(P.S. - Braid has amazing music!)

Whoa. That was dark. At least Applejack has a chance to pull through right?:fluttershysad:

PINKIE PIE TOO?!

And is wrong that I was hearing "Tainted Love" while I read this?

Wow. Pinkie forgets her birthday two times in a row.:unsuresweetie::unsuresweetie:

:pinkiecrazy: this is not shapeing up well for them at all.... any clue on who will be the last mare standing?

Oh, I believe if you look around you'll find some clues.
:trixieshiftleft::trixieshiftright:

At long last! I'm terribly, dreadfully sorry for the wait, and I don't intend to create such a long one again. I have no excuse; I simply didn't do any writing. However, this story will have a conclusion yet!
Fun fact: this is the first chapter of this story not published on the sixth of a month. To be honest, I considered delaying until the sixth of February to publish, for that reason alone. But that would be silly.
In any case, I'll do my best to get the last two chapters out ASAP.
Also, if this chapter seems kinda odd, it probably has something to do with me understanding Rarity much less than the others in the Mane 6.

That is all.

:twilightsmile:

2028582 Wow dude the only way it seems this will end is with the mane six destroyed and everybody depressed....

And that is why Rarity is a stuck up bish:rainbowwild:

2028649
There is a bigger picture. That's all I'll say. It didn't exist when I started this nonsense, but there is a bigger picture.

Woohoo, update! God, this story is sad... :raritydespair:

Fluttershy!
Sorry if this chapter is iffy... Fluttershy is hard for me to write--a lot like Rarity, actually.
But next chapter is last chapter (probably), and next chapter ought to be up soon! (Like, days at the most. Probably later tonight.)

That is all!
Journcy Out.
:twilightsmile:

(P.S.- Fun fact--this chapter originally ended after "'Yes… Yes, you are, my little pony…' Princess Celestia said, walking to Twilight and putting a wing over her. 'You’re here, Twilight. You’re with me. It will all be all right.'" But then I started writing the next chapter, and the beginning just seemed to go better on the end of this, so I stuck it here.)

EDIT: I updated the coverart. Not sure how I feel about that. It's kinda abstract... What do y'all think, which is better? These arrows, or the posters?

The posters where better.


Also, FLUTTERHULK SMASH

Judging from her previous reactions, I believe Twilight is dangerously close to severe depression.

What a depressing story to read so far. But with such a title, what do you expect? I actually fear what will happen to Twilight now...seeing as she wields a lot of power and has a dragon that she was able to grow like it was nothing. If the poor mares sanity slips, maybe she forces her friends to return: A probably braindead Applejack due to coma. A zombie-version of Rainbow Dash. A party-mare named Pinkie who wants nothing to do with parties anymore. A snobbish turning Rarity, seemingly caring less and less for her friends. And Fluttershy, bursting with rage and probably attacking anything that arises her ire.
Sounds like a real horror-scenario to me, if you ask me. Of course, this is all speculation. But at the rate, this fic is going on...

...I wonder how Spike reacts to all of this.

And here we are! Finally, the last chapter. And it only took me seven months!
Not to mention the last time I did this I actually thought I would finish this chapter quickly...
Meh. Here you are! I hope you enjoy.
Longest chapter I've written for ponyfic so far!

That's all I've got!
Hope you enjoyed the ride!*

:twilightsmile:

(P.S.-*In case you couldn't tell, I'm planning on writing a sequel to this story. The idea came to me after...Rarity's chapter, I think? Getting to write the sequel to this was actually one of my main motivating factors for finishing this nonsense. The sequel will be better-planned (read: planned at all), better written (I hope!) and, if I'm really good, actually updated more than once a month! And don't worry yourselves about checking for it (if you care), I'll update this story with an Epilogue or something when I'm ready to begin. Which I hope is soon. And not Journcy-time (which is rather similar to Valve-time) soon, like, real-people soon. *looks up* Ooh, that awkward moment when the P.S. is longer than the actual post. This is Journcy, signing off for real this time!)

Did you just pull a "It was all a dream" on us? That is low bro.

Shes... Dead?

Nuuuuuuuuu QQ

Whyy mustt youu doo this to mee? D:

How i wish twilight gets killed by like spike or something. It was all just a dream... Llool

So Twilight just hid away in the deep recesses of her mind, crushed by her own guilt?

2245981
Read that in Big Mac's voice. :eeyup:

SEQUEL PLEASE! :pinkiesad2: I need moar sadness!

Wow...I can't even begin to describe how I feel right now.
On one side I'm so sad seeing Twilight becoming so alone she snaps...

...on another side I'm laughing about Dischord, even though he is evil...

...and on even another side I'm wondering what happened there in the end. I'm also interested in the sequel because of it.

This story has been reviewed by The Equestrian Critics Society

Story Title: Collision Course

Author: journcy

Reviewed by: Charelzzz

Collision Course is an alternate universe story that has a brisk pace but is firmly in the sad category of FIMfic. The story explores canon episodes through a Butterfly Effect lens, where an error in judgement by one of the main characters leads to tragic and eventually catastrophic consequences for all the rest as well as for Equestria itself. It is quite well written and safe for ponies of all ages.

Score:8.0/10

Full Review

Yes! That's right! Alluvion, the sequel to this story, is out!
Well, actually at the time of writing it's in the queue, but you know what I mean!
It is now a thing! If you enjoyed this story, than I would urge you to read the next one!
Cuz, y'know, continuity and all that.
:D

That is all.

(See you on the other side.)

You know, 'taking my time' reading this comment, I decided to count words. You're just one word over 'the answer to everything' 42.

So... was it all a dream or is that something that is explored in the sequel? I'm not sure what you're making official here.

It was an interesting story, even if some of the characters were OOC.

Would you be willing to elaborate on that point? Even though I probably won't revise CC at this point, the advice/criticism would be nice.

AAAAAHHH
GOD
DAMMIT
STOP MAKING ME SO UPSET

Oh, but where would the fun in that be? :D
Also, thanks for the comment and fave. My stories have sort of fallen out of the ability to attract new readers, so you were a nice surprise on a summer evening.
To anyone reading these comments, those thanks go to the rest of you as well!

EDIT: And the watch. Forgot about the watch.
