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.
Yay an update! Twas good!
3683683 Thank you for sticking around! We should return to the normal silliness soon, so keep an eye out, though I make no promises.

Be it serious or silly, dis shit b gud. xD
But in all seriousness, how could something go from featured to popular as a stick? (No offense.)
3688153 None taken. I suppose it's the rare updating, rambling text, references that alternate between obvious and obscure, and the main character reflecting me too much for other people to identify with him. The fact that people like the story enough to stick with it mystifies me to no end, to be honest. I didn't think I was that good.

Wanna see not that good? Read chapter 1 of How Cloudsdale Came to Be. It's the first thing I ever wrote. xD
3689623 I thank you for the educational experience. I think I gained a level from that. The points will be put into Making References to the Randomest Things. +1 To References
3689632
Wait... You leveled up?
*looks above his head*
...No +1 Fame...
3689943 The Fame stat works like the Paragon and Renegade meters in Mass Effect: I have to do things and hope that I get famous, not put points into it.
3689960
No. I mean it would level up with more people seeing what I do. Because shameless self-promotion. xD
Also, have a song that involves the use of "fuck" in it a lot:

3689966 Still need to do things to get people's attention. Also, thanks for the song. It was unnecessary and very silly. The perfect gift!

No problem.
