"Faust!!" Celestia exclaimed as she was flying towards her. "You must stop this now while you still can!!" She paused in shock as she got a good look at Faust's changing body. "W...what have you done...?" Celestia said in horror.
Faust was changing into a more human like body, and slowly she kept changing. She turned to Celestia and smirked. "I'm sorry my dear Tia, but it's far too late to stop it now..." She walked toward her slowly. "We are only moments away before our two worlds merge completely... Oh, would you rather control the sun in our new world, or have it go on its own?"
"What are you talking about...?"
"Well, we wouldn't want to have two suns, would we? Although it does sound interesting..." Celestia just stared at her in shock and didnt respond. "I'll have Discord remove Equestria's sun and moon then..." She mused disappearing.
Celestia just stood there still in shock as tears slowly dripped down her face. "I couldn't stop her... There's nothing I can do to stop her..." She paused before she raises her head up. "Please mother! Please forgive me!!" She screamed into the sky, and then collapsed to the ground. "Please mother... I need your help..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Come on Lauren!” Twilight exclaimed. “We can’t just give up like this!” She said changing into her original lavender color.
Lauren just looked down in despair, she had no idea what to do and looked like she had completely lost all hope.
“Lauren!” Tara exclaimed.
“Huh...?” Lauren said finally snapping out of it. “Sorry... I just don’t see any possible way we can stop this...” She said getting to her knees.
“Come on Lauren!” Andrea Exclaimed. “The Lauren I knew would never give up like this!”
Suddenly Twilight walked up to Lauren herself. “The Lauren I saw in Equestria would not give up without a fight!” she exclaimed. “You remember, don’t you? You helped us fight Faust and helped Princess Celestia turn back to the way she was! You didn’t give up on us before, and you can’t give up on us now!”
Lauren just stared at Twilight for a moment, not at loss of hope... but lost in thought. Fighting Faust... I remember it like it was only yesterday... well, now I remember it. I remember that I gave it all I had to defeat her. My daughters helping me... I helped them before... and I’m going to help them again! “You’re right Twilight,” Lauren said getting to her feet. “I’m not giving up, even if things may seem hopeless... I was the one who created her, and I’m going to be the one to defeat her once and for all!!” she exclaimed followed by a cheer from everyone in the room. “But there is one problem however...”
“What would that be?” Ashleigh asked.
“Looking at our current states, I’d say it’s too late to stop our worlds from merging... But it’s not too late to beat Faust! She may be succeeding in merging our worlds to become real, but soon Faust will get the bitter taste of what the real world is like.” Just as she finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. “Oh who could that be?” Lauren walked to the door and was quickly pushed to the ground.
“Lauren!” everyone exclaimed and quickly looked out the door gasping at what they saw.
“Enjoying this last hour...?” a familiar voice said. It was faust only something was different. She looked more... human. “I see that all of your transformations are nearly complete, which means so is the merging of our worlds.” Faust said as a loud thunder crash was heard from outside. She looked outside, only to find that some sort of portal had opened, followed by multiple portals. “It’s finally time...” Faust snickered while everyone just stared... “Our lives are changing fore--...” Faust was interrupted when she was struck on the head by a frying pan. Everyone looked at who was holding the pan, and they were surprised to find that it was Craig. “Y-you...!”
“Craig!!” Lauren exclaimed. “What do you think you’re doing!?”
Craig looked at Lauren in shock at first but quickly snapped out of it. “I’m not letting you do this alone Lauren!” he exclaimed. “I love you too much to let this faker ruin everything.”
"But Craig you don't understand! She too dangerous to fight!"
"Please, how tough could she be now? She's turning--..." Craig was abruptly interrupted as he was struck down by one of Faust's magic attacks.
"Craig!!!" Lauren exclaimed running to him. She could only stare at Craig's unconscious body and feel tears running down her face. Quickly she started to go into anger as she looked up at Faust. "How... Dare you..." She let out.
"Lauren...?" Tara said slowly walking up to her.
Quickly, Lauren's horn began to glow brightly and her wings were extended. "HOW DARE YOU!!!!" She exclaimed as she went into complete rage.
"Sweet mother of--...!!" Ashleigh was interrupted as Twilight pulled on her arm.
"Come on!" Twilight exclaimed. "You all have to get out of here right now!"
"Wait, what?" Tara said.
"I said you all have to--..." Twilight was interrupted.
"I heard what you said, and I'm sorry but I'm not going anywhere Twilight."
"Tara please! It's going to be too dangerous!"
"I don't care! I would risk my own life for a friend like Lauren." Tara paused looking at Lauren. "Because a true friend helps a friend in need..."
"A true friend... Helps a friend in need..." Twilight said quietly. She nodded and led the others out.
"I'm staying as well." Luna said walking next to Lauren. "It is time we finished this once and for all Faust!" She exclaimed as her horn glowed brightly as well.
"I'll stay too." Cadence said walking to the other side of Lauren. "Anypony who puts our friends in danger must be dealt with."
Faust just laughed maniacally. "You actually think you can stop all of this? Our worlds will merge in less then an hour! What are you going to do? Wait for a miracle to appear? Wait for Princess Celestia to help you?? Well she isn't coming! Because she knows that--..."
"That's enough!!" A voice echoed from the sky.
Everyone looked up in shock when they saw it was Princess Celestia in the the form of a human but still with her wings and horn. "Sister...!" Luna exclaimed.
Celestia slowly went down to the ground next to Lauren. "You have no idea how happy I am to see you again mother..." She said putting a hand on Lauren.
"C-Celestia..." Lauren stuttered. "H-how did you get here?"
"I went through one of the rips..."
"Rips...?" Twilight asked.
"Yes..." Celestia hung her head down. "Our worlds are merging at this very moment!"
"What!?!" Everyone exclaimed.
"I-... It can't be! Faust said it was less than an hour!" Twilight exclaimed.
"It wasnt a lie..." Faust said with a smug look on her face. "It was indeed less than an hour... And right now, Discord is controlling the chaos that this merge is creating." Quickly, Faust was tackled by Lauren. Faust just laughed. "What are you going to do Lauren... Kill me? I'm pretty sure that didnt go so well last time."
Lauren paused for a moment looking right at Faust. "No... I won't kill you." She said getting off.
"Lauren are you crazy?!" Tara exclaimed.
"Yet..." Lauren stated.
"Excuse me?" Tara asked.
"I'm sorry, I should have said I won't kill you yet..." Lauren said looking at Faust.
"What are you talking about...? No matter when you kill me, I will still return!"
"Wrong!" Lauren exclaimed. "You may come back in my imagination, but what happens when our worlds merge completely and everypony becomes real...?" After saying this, Faust's eyes shrunk as she went into shock. "I'm guessing you know what I mean... And with our worlds almost merged, I'd say you don't have much time."
Faust could only start to feel worried and at the same time feel angry. How did I not think about that!? Damn it! I've come too far to ler her ruin it again!! Without thinking, Faust just charged after Lauren. "You will die!!"
Lauren herself struck Faust down with a magic surge. "What's the matter Faust? Not used to being a human yet?"
Faust growled as she got to her feet again. She glared at Lauren but quickly darted her eyes to Tara Strong. She uses her magic and teleported herself next to Tara, and grabbed her neck. Everyone gasped at her. "Not another step closer Lauren Faust!"
"T-Tara!!" Twilight exclaimed.
"Faust! Leave her out of this!!" Lauren exclaimed.
"If I'm going to die, then she will die first!" Faust exclaimed.
"Faust... You really haven't changed at all..." Twilight said. "You may consider yourself to be better than all of us... But in reality... In this world you are nothing but a heartless monster."
Without warning, Faust just sent a massive surge directly through Tara's body. "Tara!!!" Lauren exclaimed. When Faust stopped, Tara just slumped, her eyes shut, and Faust simply dropped her like she was nothing. "T-Tara..." Lauren said in tears as she walked toward Tara.
"Let this be a warning to you..." Faust said as she disappeared.
Lauren got to her knees looking at Tara. "Please... Please wake up..." She said going into tears. "Please wake up!!!" She cried over her. It wasnt long before everyone else in the room was in tears. "I-... Wish this all really was just a dream..."
Was Craig wearing white shutter shades, a tricorn, and a shield?
2800643 I was thinking the same
Wow, that update took forever, I hope future updates won't take as long
You know, some part of me hopes that this does not have a stereotypical ending where something comes in to save the world and everything goes back to normal. A few permanent consequences would be a refreshing change from all of the stories that just reset the conflict's events after the resolution.
Oh
Click your heels together three times and say, "There's no place like home..."
Hmm, I sense and epic battle between Lauren and Faust coming in the future.....
one major difference between Equestria and Earth: cars and guns, MUTHAFUCKAAAHH!
If they're dead you might as well slap a mature tag on this.
"I-... Wish this all really was just a dream..." well fuck!!!! we are just getting a dream the whole time!!!
A few permanent consequences well do great at the end
That waiting and that cliffhanger. Is it just me or do I want to hurt something?
I'd give you all my feels if the pacing wasn't as fast Rainbow Dash on Bonk!
Sorry if this chapter was fast paced... It's hard for me to write with a bit of writers block... But like I said, I'm still trying.
[youtube=-N3Uk8Y5km8]
Crap, this does not bode well for our group! Fault need her butt kicked, repetitively and massively!
C&Cs:
It was faust only something was different.
> Capitalize ‘faust’.
“I’m not letting you do this alone Lauren
> Comma after ‘alone’.
But Craig you don't understand!
> Comma after 'But' and ‘Craig’.
"I heard what you said, and I'm sorry but I'm not going anywhere Twilight."
> Comma after 'sorry' and ‘anywhere’.
"It is time we finished this once and for all Faust!"
> Comma after ‘Faust’.
You actually think you can stop all of this? Our worlds will merge in less then an hour!
> Replace ‘then’ and ‘than’.

Not even that; even without magic, humans have developed devastating weapons. Add magic into the mix, and you have some seriously scary stuff. Arcane Fusion Bomb, anyone? We wouldn't have fought ourselves (and everything around us) to extinction before, but now... Good job breaking it, Faust.
Time for the magic reset button?
I wonder if at the end, Faust will realize her mistakes and be forgiven. A happy ending is a good ending.
Please don't make this all have been a dream, that is one of the worst things you can do to a story that is even just semi-serious. I'm all for an overall happy ending to this, but some permanent consequences would be a refreshing dose of realism to the readers after the conflict is resolved.
Fluttershy wins by nibbling off Faust's leg.
At the left pinkie toe.
"I figured out her weakness... if you, uh, don't mind me taking the, um, win..."
Yes this story has been updated woohoo

Get a guy, magic up his muscles to carry a mingun, then cast a spell to make him invincible and his bullets all-piercing.

See, this guy gets it. So many new ways of screwing each other over, so little time before everyone gets involved.
2800643 Demopan?
2802024 Well, we can't all have good days. Although, if you do have writers block, how were you able to put this out? What's your plan to move forward from here? I sure hope this isn't a dream....actually though you know what would be cool? If Tara gained the powers of Twilight from this world merge, since she is Twilight in the same way Lauren is the mother of celestia and Luna. Maybe....
Maybe we can get a 2 pronged battle. One team is the alicorns/Lauren/Tara against Faust while everybody else deals with Discord. Wouldn't that work pretty well?
Just some thoughts. Maybe they all need a rainbow to the face in order to reform them.
2812001 Let's not forget the Want It/Need It Grenade. Just imagine the carnage that would result.
Too long I've waited. I have long since lost my hype for this. Goodbye.
...
Ummmmm.....
...
Well...crap.

Sooo, if mlp is real, would Minecraft be real, and steve coulf just beat the shit out of her.
Plus i feel like they would have to deal with Discord because he was KOed by tge military by now, then add some partical excellerators and sone higgs bosons and you reversed the worlds coming together

I think there's a whole list of Builder fics out there, to that tune... I mean, not against Faust, but...
