An old street light flickers in an empty snow covered street, a single house with worn, white paint, worn shingles cover the roof, and cracked windows sits crumbling away. The gentle moon light beams threw one of those windows illuminating a batterer wooden table with several shattered picture frames scattered upon it. One picture shows a young boy in a black leather coat sitting with a puppy. The puppy is a Border collie; his fur is a mix of blacks, whites and browns. His eyes are brown and full of life. His fore legs stretched out across the boy’s lap. The boy himself is looking to the puppy with a big happy smile plastered across his face with both of his arms firmly wrapped around the puppy’s neck, hugging him.
Directly across from the old faded photos lays a shattered Holographic television, shattered beyond repair. Right next to it lays a skeleton wiring faded clothing; the shirt is a rugged, faded hoodie with a cartoon pony on it, the image is of a sun faded white alicorn with an image of the sun on her flanks, Her mane once was a vibrant array of colors, but is no longer the beautiful array, now it is a bland gray and white rainbow. In his hand he held a key, a card. Sun backed by the Gas ball called the sun. The card once opened a room to humanity’s greatest discovery; machine, a crack in time; an awncer to the lifelong question, is time travel possible? Yes, yes it is. Was it a good decision for humanity; no if anything it broung about humanity’s demise….
Outside in the snow covered cityscape a famonamon occurred, right in that ally; a bright flash, not just a flash; a spell that broung about a god, but not just any god; a Goddess, a white alicorn, the mother of the rulers of the land of Equestria, that rises after the loss of a great civilization that once resided on this planet. She looks around with a sigh as she observed the surrounding aria, the house, the ruin, the key to it all.
“This is where it is. The machine responsible for their death, and our rise…” The Alicorn sighs as she stairs on at the building housing the machine.
She trots onward towards the rusted front door. A switch resides ever glowing at it sits in this ruined world. Her horn glows a bright blue as she casts the simplest of spells, levitation. It caresses a switch that opens the door; with a click the door slides open allowing the Alicorn access to the household. With a sigh she enters already knowing what to expect.
She looks down to see the skeleton of a man; a man with the picture of her eldest daughter inscribed on his tattered, black hoodie. “All those years, and the influence of my world stayed with them.” A lone tear streamed down her face. “They never deserved what happened to them, they never did…” she collapses to the ground fully crying.
The alicorn looks upward, her face drenched in tears to see silhouette of the man lying on the ground. Whispers of the past come to her ears. The silhouette is of past leaking present into the present. An act of the past replays, the alicorn watches in sadness and dismay.
“It really worked!” The young man’s silhouette yells in excitement. He then runs back to the caller in order to continue his experiment. The alicorn looks to the card and takes it from the corpse.
The alicorn sighs as she holds the key in her magical grip. “This boy, he was so cleaver. He managed to tear a hole in the space time continuum without magic, a spell that an alicorn, high level mage, or Discord would be able to cast.” She sighs once more as she looks at the corpse of the boy. “You’re the only one that can save us…” she rises up and makes her way towards the cellar.
Each hoofstep closer she got the voices got abundant. The laughter, the cheer, the sadness, the fear; it gotten louder, but when she gotten to the weathered cellar door, the voices just stopped. By that time the alicorn was full of despair, tears streaming down onto the floor. Each tear splattered as they made contact with the dry rotted floor. She caressed the card in her magic, just hovered it over the scanner. The door slid open reveling to the alicorn a large room tiled with white ceramic tiles full of holographic terminals, lab equipment, machinery, and the device that broung about the humans death and the equestrians arise….
Over the comms system an AI greeted her. “Finally, someone or should I say somepony to talk to, Names Reginald, I am a personal AI and the new overseer of the machine. And I already know whom you are, Faust, the mother of Celestia and Luna, the rulers of equestria.”
Faust, the alicorn speaks in a gentle motherly voice to Reginald. “And nice too meet you Reginald.” She giggles at how he greeted her. “Reginald, I need to gain access to that machine, your friend had created.”
Reginald stayed quiet for a few minutes, thinking. Thinking about why should he let her to the machine. “Madam Faust. Why did you come here?”
Faust looks towards the machine then awncers. “Your friend, he’s the only one that save us from a grate evil that is about to rid of us. A darkness of something that is unrecognizable. Please I need access to it. My magic won’t do. It’s not capable of saving him like that machine is.”
With a VURR of the force field that surrounded the machine, Reginald said. “Madam Faust I would love to see him again, please proceed.” He announced happily.
Faust proceeds into the tall, bulky, dusty, glowing machine and smirks at Reginald. “Thanks to you, Reginald.” With a few tuches of the holographic keyboard she was gone in a bright flash of light.
