Chapter 3: Resolution

Aristotle picked up the rock and took aim. Hopefully, this would distract Discord long enough to but the Element Bearers time to do their non-specific thing.
BOOM!
Suddenly, a man appeared and knocked Aristotle over, shouting, "I'll explain later!". Discord tasted the rainbow, and Aristotle turned to look at his assailant. The man looked like a more weathered Aristotle, except for the gray skin, yellow eyes, and silly outfit.
"You gonna explain?", he asked.
The mystery man led Aristotle back to the Bro Cave, talking as they went.
Later...
" So lemme get this straight. You're Days of Future Past Me, who threw a rock at Discord, but hit Twilight instead, which loosed a Spirit of Order. Then, you learned this Spirit wanted to enslave everyone on the planet, so you decided to start a war that nobody could win and went north on your own while our friends tried to open diplomatic channels to get potential combatants, though none of them succeeded and only Spike and Sweetie Belle survived...somehow. You made a bargain with an ancient evil unicorn king that resulted in you looking like and going by Karkat. You made another deal with some Spirits that resulted in you getting Edward Kenway's skills, weapons, and equipment, as well as the ability to build anything as long as you could justify its ability to function. Having accomplished all this, you assassinated the former Element Bearers one by one before heading on to kill the Royal Sisters, which you managed to do after an intense, cool-looking battle that lasted two hours. The fact that all of that happened made you sad, so you time traveled back to now in the hopes that I could be helped. Well... Thanks, I guess. Didn't know I had it in me to do all that. Looks like you'll be sticking around, huh Karkat?"
"Pretty much. I need to heal from all that, so I think I'll get my Rachel Summmers on and mysteriously stick around through Plot Contrivance, mess around with stuff, all that."
"I should be mad at you, but I always wanted to live a comic book plot out, so welcome aboard!"

And Karkat happened. The End.

Author's Note:

So, this plot is wrapped up now. TBH, I wanted to start writing in Seasons 2 and 4(not 3, though), so I found an end to this. Future Aristotle(Karkat) will stick around until he's not interesting anymore. Then time will throw him back to where he belongs. Once again, let me know what you think! I'll try to work with the new things I've introduced, so keep an eye out. Be seeing you!
