Part 1
Chapter 3
[ Cloudsdale, five minutes before the first sonic rainboom.]
“Sparkle Maneuver six!”
“ I am not letting myself be thrown that far”
“She's making a run for it!”
“Bork”
“Go Go GO!”
Rahs launched himself over the clouds as Shining and Twilight backed him up. The magic from Twilight's cloud walk spell only stuck with him a few moments, even if sent through the link and when their target started casting and his magic eating kicked into higher gear it lasted even less time.
Rahs had fallen through six or seven clouds since this whole thing started.
Sky diving without a parachute was quickly becoming his least favorite hobby.
Shining was hanging back with Twilight, using his shields to try and create platforms for Rahs to run over, He had tried bubbling Starlight to start with, but the mare had just used the time spell and jumped out of it. Shining hadn't figured out how to block that just yet.
“What?” Starlight questioned looking to the left and spotting Spike who was also rushing towards her, the young drake was still rather gangly for his size, but he was well past his young waddling stage of movement and could keep up with Twilight at a dead run at least for a bit. The dragon drew a deep breath through his nose letting out a massive gout of green flame, hoping to catch the mare and send her directly to Twilight without passing go or collecting 200 bits.
Starlight yelped, leaping forward instead of away from Spike's flame, the dodge sending her just out of Rahs' grip as he burst out of the cloud bank to her right, though his claws sliced through a few strands of her tail hair.
“SHIT!” Starlight shrieked and galloped across the cloud bank, firing spells at random every where.
“Shit! Twilight parroted as the random spells blasted holes in the clouds, destroyed a starting line and turned a few pegasi into a group of gerbils, and one confused toucan.
With that time line disrupting attack Starlight vanished with a puff of magic, leaving the Sparkles to clean up her mess again. Twilight sighed and changed the ponies back before the four of them vanished in a flash reappearing on the ground far below Cloudsdale next to a large crystal table.
“So I wonder what an attack on Cloudsdale screwed up.” Shining Armor sighed as the table and the four with it vanished.
[ Equestria 001]
“Well this seems like a normal Ponyville.” Spike offered.
Rahs sniffed the air and sighed.” Woof.”
“No Moon Dog scent huh?”Twilight considered.” I wonder why there's been so few time lines with your in them?”
“Well Rahs was pulled out of the Oneiroi when the rainboom caused a surge in you, most of the time lines we've been in Starlight stopped the the rainboom.” Shining Armor shrugged.
“Yeah, but I get what she means, there've been a couple where the rainboom wasn't stopped and something else happened, and there was still no Rahs, and a couple of times there was no rainboom and Rahs still showed up.” Spike pointed out.
“Or some other weird thing like that time line I was a stallion and Rahs was a creature called a Sun cat and one of Celestia's followers.” Twilight muttered.
“Yeah that doesn't make sense from a time line perspective unless Starlight went back and changed the entirety of history.” Shining Armor shrugged.
“Seriously what kind of name is 'Barb' for a dragoness? It sounds like a counter worker at a diner.”Spike grumbled.
“These time lines keep changing like they are whole different universes, not just time hiccups.”Twilight muttered.
“Well, this is interesting.” Another voice stated.
Looking over the four Sparkles took note of an alicorn Twilight with a Spike riding on her back.
“Well I'm at least an alicorn this time around.” Twilight sighed.
“Who are you? Changelings?”Twilight from this time line asked.” I thought Thorax told everyone that they were not allowed to imitate royalty.”
“Well they are not doing too good of a job. “ This worlds Spike stated.” I mean Shining Armor doesn't have a black spot of fur, that one has made your mane too long, I don't have any blue spines, and he's too tall to be me. Also what's with the diamond dog?”
Rahs sighed.
“Right I'll figure this out.” Spike stated.”Hey you who's supposed to be me Who's your mare friend?”
“What... uh, I don't have one.” this time line Spike stammered.
“Okay who are you crushing on?” Spike demanded.
“Is this necessary Spike?” Twilight grumbled.
“Yes so we can figure out what's screwed up other than Rahs not being here.” Spike pointed out.
“Err no one.” Spike from this time line lied.
“Whose the best looking mare in town?”
“Oh Rarity claws down, she's gorgeous.”this time line Spike started ranting about the mare while this time lines Twilight looked between the two Spikes confused.
“Yep , this place is horrid, I'm a dumb ass here.” Spike sighed.
“Harsh.” Shining Armor nodded.” But accurate.”
Rahs slapped Shining Armor in the back of the head for that insult, though Spike didn't seem to notice.
“What's going on here?” this time line Twilight demanded.
“Time line shenanigans.... again.” Twilight sighed.
“That's ridiculous time travel isn't scientificly possible,” Twilight from this time line started , building up a rant.
“Oh shut up, you've already encountered at least two to three time travel spells by this point, so clearly they are not magically impossible.” Twilight snapped.” Focus on something important like there being no such things as ghosts or curses.
“As far as you know.”
“What..” This time line Twilight questioned looking at the diamond dog and her clone..
“Okay look. Spike I'm gonna level with you, you need to be dating Applebloom.” Spike stated.
“What? Why would I be dating Applebloom, she's just a kid.” Spike from this time line protested.
“So are you, and one reason is she's freaking adorable, another is she's a great kisser, and another is if she grows up looking even close to how her sister does every damn stallion in town is gonna be jealous of your scaly butt.”Spike explained. “And that's just the Applebloom for you, not even my Applebloom, who's a million times better.”
“Err okay.”
“Right never mind, alright focus on this instead, Rarity is like in her thirties or some shit, by the time you're old enough to hold her interest she'll be a cougar at best. If you're so focused on how Rarity looks go after her younger sister instead. Sweetiebelle is about your age and she'll probably grow up looking like her sister and probably won't be so focused on that fairy tail prince crap.”
“Sweetiebelle?” This time line Spike asked about ready to protest, then paused to consider.”Well I see your point, but heck how would I even pay for a date?”
“Use your paycheck... wait Twilight's not paying you is she?” Spike questions.” Damn it not another one.”
“But I'm her number one assistant.” Spike from this time line frowns.
“Yeah a title with no pay for all the work you do, it's bad enough you fall into a honey trap with Rarity in like, fifty other time lines but this, this is bullshit! Stand up for your self! Do you know how much money a good secretary costs? A lot, ask Raven Inkwell how much she's making, then check on how much an assistant librarian makes, or a regular one I know you're doing more work than Sparkle butt here.”
“HEY!” Both Twilight's snap.”Language!”
“Don't care time line crap going on I should have been using strong language this whole time, maybe it would have had the strength to knock the crap out of Starlight! Any way. Fight for your money, strike if she refuses to pay you, get a lawyer, there are child labor laws after all you can dig up your own gems and Foal Protective Services won't let her throw you out, not even considering what Celestia would say. Take back your life, lose your chains, it's your money and you want it now!” Spike rants.
“Spike will you please stop trying to unionize all the other Spikes we meet.” Shining Armor sighed
“Hey hey, ho ho” Spike chanted ”This Twilight's greed has got to go!”
Rahs rolled his eyes before he walked over and scooped up Spike, who was still ranting as the four of them walked back over to the crystal table and vanished in a puff of time nonsense.
This time lines Twilight and Spike stared at the spot the table had been for a moment before Spike looked up at Twilight.
“So how much DOES Miss Inkwell make?”
[? Ponyville 3025]
The Sparkles frowned looking up at the massive mechanical pony stomping past the ruins of Ponyville in the distance, fire and smoke filled the air. In the much further distance, more of the metal things stormed around. Most were on four legs but some where on two. A swarm of missiles and blue beams of light fired from the closest one, arching off into the distance and slamming into one of the other massive machines with a ear piercing explosion, sending shards of blue painted metal in a shower of violence
The far distant machine shook as fire and smoke poured out of it, the sight of a small rocket bursting out of the top of it with what looked like a pony strapped to it like it was supposed to be a chair was briefly noted before the machine started emitting waves of green light before exploding into a massive mushroom cloud, the blast knocking over two of the other machines near it.
The one that had fired continued stomping closer, vents opening around the legs blasting out waves of heat generated from the weapons fire, the red and gray paint job on it not telling them anything, nor did the black snake with a dragon head curled around three diamond mean anything to the Sparkles either.
“Well this is a thing, and I think it's a thing we should not be near.” Shining Armor stated getting nods of agreement from the others.
I can't believe this bullshit came about because Starlight SAVED Fluttershy from falling off the cloud.” Twilight grumbled.
With a few taps on the glowing parts of the stone table the group vanished just as the mechs in the distance recovered enough return fire.
[ Ponyville]
Twilight stared at Twilight.
Twilight stared back at Twilight.
“You are not scientifically possible.” Twilight stated.
“Don't even start with that.” Twilight huffed fluttering her wings. “We went through that last time we time traveled!”
“It doesn't make it any less scientifically possible.” Twilight stated.
“We literally know a god of time, and Minuette. It's magically possible.” Spike snapped.
“Yeah, what I said.” Spike offered as well.
“Woof.” Rahs nodded sagely.
“Bark?” Rahs asked.
“Yeah, it's just timey whimy stuff. Don't think about it too much, kinda like Pinkie Pie.” Shining Armor added from where he sat next to a large stone table that appeared in the middle of the library.
“I for one would like to know if I can borrow both Rahs' for a bit. I have had an idea that I am not sure a cloning spell would work on....” Sunset offered biting her lip a little as she looked between the two moon dogs.
“No.” The collected group stated, save the Rahs' who simply looked at the mare with wide eyes.
“So if you are me from the future, what sort of dire message do you have?” Twilight huffed. “What's gonna happen next Tuesday that brings Shining in too?”
“Nope, we're a little more than a year in the future if I recall correctly. And really there's so much shit that happens I can't really explain it all. Good news, the rest of that stupid prophecy is figured out. I can tell you that you don't need to worry about figuring out the stupid box because that comes into play this summer, I also figure out the Familiar spell.” Twilight added with a small glare at Sunset at the mention of the spell.”
“The next expansion of, Fallout Equestria is pretty neat, but don't buy it day one, there's so many bugs and stuff you wanna wait until about the end of the year before picking it up.” Spike told himself. “Also hold off getting any new Battle Mallet rule books as 9th edition is gonna drop in the middle of next year.”
“Sweet.” Spike nodded. ”See this is the sorta stuff that's important to know from the future.”
“Bark.” Rahs offered making Rahs stiffen.
“BORK!” Rahs gasped.
“Yes, he means six, by next year you're gonna have a a rather intense sixth girl chasing you.” Shining Armor chuckled. “I still can't believe it.”
“What!?” Sunset snapped. “Who is she so that I may burn her!?”
“No.” The collected group stated, save the Rahs' who simply looked at the mare with wide eyes.
“Annnd it's reasons like that which are why we are keeping this simple.” Twilight sighed.” This is all I told you when I came through last time so this is all I'll tell you coming through this time because of the time issues. And I really don't want to annoy White.”
“Fair enough.” Twilight agreed.
[?]
YARRRR!!The pirate growled before a right hook from Rahs knocked the griffon on his ass.
The ass was not thrilled to be landed on, though a sleep spell from Twilight finished him off too.
The group of them looked around for any more pirates with shovels and very stereotypical eye patches.
Spike made the mistake of mentioning the eye patches which started Twilight into lecture mode about the patches and night vision and ships decks.
The others ignored her.
Of course the brothers were far more interested in the large pile of chests full of gold gems and other treasures the two pirates had been trying to bury on this small shore of an island.
Twilight paused mid rant and managed to identify some of the larger items as lost crown jewels of Princess Platinum that were said to be stolen by the Strawhat pirates , who in turn lost it to another pirate raid that took their whole haul of loot in one piece. Said lost treasure was well lost and never found again even in the modern age, though parts of it were known to pop up in private collections from time to time.
This only made her brothers smile wider.
When the two pirates woke, they would still have their shovels, but the treasure, their attackers, and that odd crystal table were gone.
[ Anywhen]
The white rabbit lifted his head as something disturbed his realm. With a small sigh he hopped and slid side where to when the issue would be.
The realm itself was filled with his children and grandchildren and many of their offspring and mates. In truth he hadn't had that many mates in the past, though with the amount of offspring that were around fiddling with parts of the time streams and eating tangents, he was likely going to be around quite some time with more than a few wives, or at the very least his kids were going to be super prolific. Maybe he should see if some of them wanted to head out into the real world. White doubted a warren or two of intelligent immortal carnivorous rabbits would have any issue with the echo system.
I mean there were wolves made of wood out there after all.
There was one he was interested in now, but he wasn't sure how to approach her as this was a bit out of his normal wheelhouse.
White tilted his head as he stepped from anywhen to everywhen and wheneverafter.
Before him was a large crystal table with a number of swirling sigals and other bits and bobs on it. Standing around it were two unicorns, a dragon, and a blue diamond dog thing. They were currently arguing about something.
He was certain he had met them already, but not yet. Still there was a first time for everything.
“Hello.” White offered.
The four of them whirled to face him, all of them seeming to relax at the sight of him. Well clearly they had met him already. White wondered how long it would be until he met them again for the first time.
“White...look, there has got to be a better way to do this.” The purple alicorn mare stated. “Starlight is always one step ahead and if we catch her she still manages to do something and throws everything into chaos.”
“Hmm well .” White pondered not remembering the name. “ It seems you have me at a disadvantage. Who are you? Clearly two gods a demi god and a ….... well to be fair I have no clue what you are but it does paint a interesting picture.”
“What? White seriously, you just sent us on this quest to fix the issue here.” the alicorn ranted.
“Woof?” the large diamond dog stated. White was certain the current diamond dog god was Forthe. How far ahead were this lot from? Well in any case he certainly hoped Forthe didn't notice this ones presence here . White would never hear the end of it.
“What do you mean he probably hasn't met us yet?” The white unicorn demanded.
“Look we're bouncing around in time trying to stop Starlight... maybe we don't exist in this time line?” the dragon offered.
White considered.” No. If you're here then you're here, just maybe not yet, or well after, if you know me though I would say not yet.”
“Uhhhhhhh” the four seemed to blue screen as White sighed.
“Look whatever I will tell you, you clearly haven't done it yet or you wouldn't be here.” White sighed. Why was stuff like this so hard for everyone to understand? “ Now then who are you four, you clearly know me.”
It was at that point White was introduced the first time to the Sparkles. They didn't stay long and in fact left with their table not long after the conversation happened.
Despite that, White figured it might be the best to keep an eye out for that group in the future, and the past.. well just in general.

A bit of an odd opening with them already in the shenanigans with Starlight. I wonder if this will be a bit shorter then it was in the show. Either that or this arc is from White’s point of view.
11023916
look at the chapter title
11023920
Are you posting these out of order?
Any one else have a headache trying to understand time logic.
11023927
Given that time travel and White is involved with this, being out of order would be appropriate.
11023927
It's Time Travel. It's almost required at this point.
I'm going to have to agree with Chief O'Brien
11023929
Nope. It's simple. Think of time like a giant jigsaw puzzle. You don't know which piece goes where on first sight. So you just need to follow the pieces as they appear. As more appear, the picture become more and more clear until you have the whole picture.
🤯
Unionize! Get paid! Date Applebloom!
Two things makes me remember Rick and Morty in this chapter: Spike being a total Morty (the one still trying to ver Rarity) and another Spike giving him a reality slap, and the wise lesson from Rick Sanchez: i dont mess with time travel, that s!£t only give headaches.
Spike unionizing the other Spikes? If Discord ever decides to retire, he should give his portfolio to Spike for how much chaos that dragon is causing to the timelines.
I'm going to guess that these chapters are purposefully posted out of order but for what purpose, I'm not sure. Perhaps it's to troll the readers by making this finale episode as confusing as possible.
Whatever the case, this part is going to be a series of mindfucks.
Suddenly there came a noise, like a thousand heads popping from trying to keep all these time travel shenanigans straight and were suddenly silenced...
Wait, if she knows Thorax then this might be a world after the whole Starlight debacle
Okay, so maybe no Starlight debacle in this time-line... or Twilight is just being stubborn about it
Hah
Jokes aside Spike does have a point, the Spikes really should be paid for their time as the Number 1 assistants of their respective Twilight Sparkle (or whatever they're named)
A bit more than you should've been paid this whole time, but hey, you're backpay for all these years is gonna be amazing
True
Hah, nicely done
No one... yet
Oh I know that one, eyepatches were used to cover one eye so that they could protect their night vision and see when they went below deck by taking it off
Don't think I missed that
Yup
LET CHAOS REIGN!
11023920
That was the first thing I noticed
11023927
Wibbly wobbly timey wimey
I wonder if they ever saw a Blue Box out in the wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey stuff.
(wink, wink, nudge, nudge)
In all seriousness though, I could totally see them screwing around with the Doctor,
i.e. everyone else holding Twilight back from dismantling the TARDIS to see how it works, something goes wrong that will kill them all, and somehow Rhas will randomly hit the exact right button/lever/switch to fix everything at the exact last second because DRAMA!!!
....I'm legitimately surprised that I was able to come up with this on the spot, if I had any skill in writing it'd make neat little short story.
Is it on purpose to post the parts not in order cause timey wimey BS?
BATTLESTEEDS!
Is...it supposed to start with chapter 3?
To be the future version after you meet yourself in the past is just a blast
Magnificent chapter! Epic moment for white to be clueless ♡
Even the God of time can be surprised of past events in the future today. Or was it a future event in the past today? Hm... Nah it was the past in the future now...
11023920
Part one... This will be fun
By any chance is there a Pinkie Pie that is a antic god of Chaos enjoying life as a mortal as vaccation to get his life in order to keep his head in the game pf chaos and sweet treats
11023927
Only if your in the present past. In the future past its perfectly in order
11023929
Nope? I have a Pinkie Pie. Your logic is invalid
11023936
Especially since he is normaly the one in Twilights situation. No wonder hes late in the past with all the future to be happening right now
11023941
Does he hate the mechanics behind time travel or himself? ... Probability is... Its both... isnt it?
I'm okay with Spike and Applebloom, or Ember (not Smolder, though, since she's more like a cool big sis to him), but Sweetie is destined to be with Button Mash 100%.
11023949
Cheers
11023953
The multiverse is chaotic enough without messing with it past , present or future
11023971
Fun... Cant be more chaotic than what behind Pinkie's mane... Oooo... That were Fluffelpuff was hidding...
11024058
Yes?
11024037
Already happend, its already out in 12 D... Your just have to travel back to the future, one second at a time...
11024037
See the third serial.

It would actually be 'realize the spring under the button is worn to fix everything at the exact last second because DRAMA!!!'
Okay, given how this is being posted, I can't help but post this song/monologue:
Uh, Where's the other 2 chapters?
I've watched enough DW to get the gist of time speak so I can mostly follow it.
Okay, I wondered what kind of shenanigan that made the entire group, Shining include, to went back to the past. Never thought it was caused by Starlight.
Hello Mr. rouge 9 what are you doing there?
Shouldn't Rarity be in her twenties not thirties but hey you do you dude
If you can follow this, then you might be employed coding CPUs ?
Replay this chapter via text to speech function +20 times. Ots still very entertaining. Especially Spike education of himself and his chant 👍
I wonder how many alt sparkles think our time traveling quartet is evil, or at least super egotistical for all their talk of gods.
11024193
They're already posted, just not yet. We'll surely enjoyed them.
What, it's time shenanigans. You expected the magic themed book not to follow it's own theme?
i love this chapter it is amazing..
and white is at the top of his game for sure.
Wait...is there not actually a sixth "very intense" girl at all yet?
I’m loving this already.
Question. If the Sparkles were out of time... Then would White know them? As time doesn't exist outside of time, so the white outside of time thus knows everything there is to know, each time white has stepped out of time, including when time stopped existing, and thus know all time, every time, and any time?
Unless 'Out of Time' is filled with infinite whites from every time he stepped outside of time?
All right we are at the big finale, time to see how bad this goes for Starlight, and just how much of what is going to happen has been White's plan from the start?
Aaaaand getting right into the time shenanigans it seems.... fun
Yeah....they have their own set moves by now and pre-planned ways to make someone regret messing with them.
Just enjoy being immortal
And you can call it some sort of improvised abstract theater performance to boot.
I love the implication that he couldwork out even that...because of course he could, he's that awesome.
You are the dumbass who tried to fuck with the Sparkles.
Because it was the super charge from the Rainboom that made you freak out and pull him into the material plane, and so without that happening, no super powered summoning.
Okay...... so you are flipping through full on AU's rather then just timeline changes...... what the hell spell did Starlight find.... and/or what the hell are you Sparkles doing in the past?
About the same as 'Spike'.
Low blow story..... low blow....
So... one who went through all the events, except for the ones with Starlight, but got far enough to where Thorax is now in charge of the Changelings....... weird.
Also interesting meeting other Twilight's and Spikes given how they never seemed to exist in the other time lines.... though yeah, without the Rainboom Spike likely wouldn't have hatched, and Twilight never went on to any position that would put her where Time Traveling Twilight would find her.
.... okay..... yeah gotta admit.. this is kind of funny.....
So a Fluttershy that never falls down to meet animals ends up creating Pony Gundams? Or whatever giant mechas these are...... awesome!
I'm with Puppy Twilight...... it really doesn't make any sense for a post It's About Time Twilight to go that route.
In any universe she ends up back in Equestria in.... Sunset's gonna be a horn dog. Good for her!
Okay so this is the main one we already saw....which just even more calls into question how they got here hoping around from Starlight messing with the past... and yeah don't think about it, just enjoy the fun..... and blame White.
So.... did Starlight just see Rahs and become obsessed with him or something to explain the sixth?
........ Nice one story....nice one.
Okay, there is SO much wrong with this.... Luffy wouldn't go stealing stuff like that.... unless it seemed fun, but the Straw Hat's really, really would not be losing to some other random pirate crew..... ever.
Also as bizarre as it is for an epic Pirate story that's last over two decades and is into the four digit chapters...... not once has anyone in that entire world been shown wearing an eyepatch......
Half of them actually him at some point in the time line.
Why are White's kids carnivorous?
I want White and The Doctor to try and talk to each other, to see who gets a headache from trying to follow the other first.
and how many lifetimes of a universe it takes for that to happen to either of them.
They do tend to make a lasting impression.
So, love the idea of messing with the chapter order and.. just saying fuck it, random AF AU time for the lulz, already covered the feelings on the fix fic type stuff... but it was at least entertaining here, and just... yeah, Starlight is annoying to deal with more then able to really stop them so, lots of stalemating.
11024056
Let's not even start on how Rarity ended up Combine.
11023920
Oh god, that is going to give me such a headache
-Sir Integra Helsing
Oh come on, Spike isn’t treated that badly
Also insert Austin Powers time travel joke here
11024828
Eh, I'm calling it, Aria is GF #6.
11024859
Agreed... To be fair... Follower and times might destort knownlege over time...
11025014
But the Hippogriff Combine?
...OK, so maybe they're more stylish than the Kirin Confederation. Only just.

Great chapter! And fantastic work with the tenses.
11025024
Damn it... Now i want to replay all my Mechwarrior games or read all the books I have
11023920
Why the early chapter?

timey whimy bullshit
