Hiya, everypony! I'm Pinkie Pie! And this is my story!
Well, it's more my life, but oh well! I should put a... a... a dis-clam-er? Is that how you say that word? Oh, I don't know!
Warning: This story contains large amounts of fun, laughter, reality having a headache, the fourth wall going to the hospital a lot, and it may be harmful to party poopers! So watch out!
Was that a good dis-clams-ter? Huh? Was it? Ooh, tell me in the... Comma-ents!
Y'know what? I should throw a party in celebration of my first story! Oooooohhhh, I'll give out invitations tomorrow!
But I wanted to introduce myself in this chapter! Silly me, haha!
So, my name is Pinkie Pie! I'm an earth pony mare from Equestria! Wait, you know that already! Okie Dokie Lokie, moving on...
Huh... Twilight gave me this list of stuff about me to use... But you already know everything... If there's anything you want to know, tell me, I guess... But I can't post this yet? Huh... Rules...
Well, I guess you'll just have to be surprised, won't you! Heehee, I love surprises!
Ooh, How about I use my invisible video ca-ma-ra... AND BRING YOU TO THE PARTY! Ooh, I need to start planning! Lemmee go get my party cannon!
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎈🎈🎈🎈
Oops, haha! I forgot I filled it with balloons AND confetti! Sorry!
Anyway, I'm gonna open an interdimensional portal into your screen that you're reading this on and bring you to the party! See you there!
So here's the refreshment table! We have punch, cake, cupcakes, ice cream, sweets of all kinds, and EVEN MORE CUPCAKES!
Ooh, look! There's Twilight!
Hiya, Twilight! Enjoying the party?
Of course, Pinkie. I always do. So... Why is there a screen with whatever I say written on it floating above you?
Oh, that's just a friend!
Hmm... Okay, Pinkie! Have AJ, Rainbow, and Rarity arrived yet?
Nope, but I'm sure they're coming!
Alright. I'll be here if you need me.
Okie Dokie Lokie!
Huh. That was weird. She saw you as a screen?
Oh well! Oh, here comes Dashie!
Oh, hey, Pinkie!
Hiya Dashie! Glad you could make it!
Me too!
So, I wanna introduce you to my new friend! Their name is... Oh, I don't know your name yet. You can tell me later! Or in the Coom-ends!
Oh, the screen? Um... Can the screen even hear me?
Yeppers! I think they're big fans of yours! They'll tell me in the Con-mends!
Oooo-kay. Well, lots of fun to have, great party!
Well. She flew off in a hurry. I wonder why...
Oh well! Here, take a look at the games I have set up! We have bobbing for apples, pin the tail on the pony, and - Ooh! There's AJ!
Hiya AJ!
Howdy, Pinkie.
How's the party? Do you like it, do you, do you???
Of course, ah do Pinkie! Ah always do! Everypony here loves 'em just as much!
Phew, that's a relief.
So, Pinkie. Who's that there friend of yours?
Oh, I'll tell you later. It's just that this is a story right now, but it's not, and they think it's a story, but it's not, and I'm gonna put it on a human web-sit, and they're gonna read it, but it's actually real life stuff and... Oh. She went to play pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey. Okie Dokie Lokie!
C'mon, there's more to see! Follow me right this way! To the dance fl-owie!
Oh dear, my apologies, darling. I must simply watch where I go!
It's ok, Rarity! I'm just happy you're here!
That is most delightful to hear! Say, what is that glowing blue thing above your head?
Oh, it's my friend! They can't come here because they live in a different world, so I opened a portal into theirs!
Ah. I see. I shall enjoy this party while I can, Darling. You should as well.
Okie Dokie Lokie, Rarity!
Huh. She took it better than everypony else. But that doesn't matter! There's one more teensy thing I wanna show you!
And here it is! A present for you! But here's the super duper part - It's completely random! You can open it again and again, and it'll give you something different every time! Isn't that amazing?
Heehee, wanna know where I got it? I got it from Discord!
Um... Discord gave you something?
Oh, hiya, Fluttershy! Yeppers, I wanted to give my friend a present and I didn't know what to get them! So I asked Discord!
O-oh... But where is your friend?
Right there!
The blue thing? O-ok... If you say so...
Yeppers! They really want to meet you!
Eep!
And she's gone. You DO want to meet her, right? Tell me, I guess! But I should let you enjoy yourself! It IS a party, after all! So HAVE FUN!
Afterwards, I'll tell you about a weird dream I had...
Oh, hiya! Hope you had fun at the party! So, are you here to find out how the dream went? Great! I just hope you know what it means...
I don't know how I actually dreamed the dream that I dreamed, but it was a weirrrrrd dream. It was even weirder than when Discord made chocolate rain! Not that I minded that.
But anyway, it started off normal - or as normal as my dreams get - with me walking through a field made of licorice strips and trees made of cotton candy with cupcakes growing on them!
So I was just walking - and nibbling on the sweets, of course - when I felt a nasty itch on my right fetlock! I had to scratch it, but a weird thing happened to my pelt! It started peeling off, except it didn't hurt.
Soon there were gashes that revealed m-my bones and muscles and tendons and every icky and gross thing you shouldn't see in your pelt! It scared me, so I started crying.
The skin slowly began to peel off entirely, my hoof was becoming numb, I couldn't feel anything, and then POOF! I woke up.
I don't know what it means... Do you know? Please tell me...
And if you don't know, it's ok... I'll find out eventually!
So, I'll leave you alone for now, and we'll talk later! Byeeeeee!!!!
I'm so, so sorry! So much has gone on, that I haven't have a chance to talk to all of you! You can forgive me, right?
What's happened, you ask? Well, let me finish mixing up this cake, and let me put it in the oven, then I'll tell you!
There we go! Set the timer... Okie Dokie Lokie! I'm ready to talk now!
Soooo, firstly Cheese Sandwich came to visit! We threw a humongously amazing party! There was punch and cupcakes and games and dancing and sweets of all kinds! And then we brought in a super, super, super-duper large pinata! All the fillies and colts had an amazing time, and when it broke open, candy fell out!
Mmmmmmmmm.... I can still taste it... B-But I didn't eat it all! I really didn't!
Anyway, that was amazing, and then Twilight got sick! Her horn got all puffed-up, and she was sneezing a lot!
I wasn't there at first, since I had gone to visit Zecora to get a potion she had made to help, but I came in to see one of the funniest scenes ever!
I saw Applejack, floating like a balloon, and she was really sparkly! Then Dashie was making sound effects instead of talking, Fluttershy turned into an icecube, and Rarity was using her hoof as a roller skate, heehee!
So I gave Twilight the potion, but she didn't let me tell her about the side effects, and she turned into a newborn filly!
So, Spike had to take care of her, and me and the others helped out every so often! And that's about it!
So what happened with you? What did you do? Tell me in the comments! And I can finally say comments now! Thank you Shadesplit!
Oh... I'm really super-duper sorry that I haven't talked to you in so long! But I'm in a hurry right now, so I can only talk a little bit!
So, I wanted to know, why does your 'trailer' about our life have King Sombra in it... Does that mean what I think it means? 'Cause if it means what it means, I think it means what it means is bad news!
And before you ask, yeppers, I'm ok! Just a little sad that you'll all have to say goodbye soon... I just met you, after all, heehee...
But you all keep telling me that you won't abandon us and that means a lot, so thank you for not throwing us away like everypony else...
Anyway, I have an emergency friendship meeting to attend to, so I gotta go!
Well, we're here! Like my room? I hope you don't mind the mess. Gummy just had his after-birthday party, and he said he only wanted to have me there!
I kinda maybe went a teensy-tiny bit overboard? I put waaaaaaay too many decorations and a bunch of-
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Whoa, heehee! I must not have used one of my party cannons! Oopsies!
Anyway. You wanted to snuggle? Well, I could make you use your imagination or I could write this in... In... Um... Third-pony view? Y'know, where I describe everything! Yeppers, that is definitely what I should do!
Okie dokie lokie, hold on, and...
"There we go! I changed how I told the story!" Pinkie said, who is currently writing the descriptions of this point of view, in past tense for some reason, and is going to change that now!
"Now... Time for one of my infamous Pinkie hugs!" she says, tackling you down happily, her full weight on your chest and her front hooves hugging you so tightly that you find it hard to breathe.
Um... You don't mind if I just write what I imagine you would say, right?
Oh, good! I don't like putting words in others' mouths!
"Whoa, Pinkie, you're crushing me!" you say, wheezing due to the pressure on your chest.
"Oops, sorry!" Pinkie says, giggling. She lightens up on the hug, but nuzzles your shoulder, seeming to be craving attention.
You wrap your arms around her, stroking her back gently with your fingertips. Pinkie responds with a hum of pleasure, arching her back into your hand.
Oh... This doesn't seem good enough... Uh... Let me try to write it differently! I'm just learning to write, so, it's hard to write anything...
But what happened did just happen!
How are you so good at snuggling, anyway...
As your fingers rub through my fur, a rippling sensation that I never felt before rushes through me. It's a relaxing feeling.
I place my muzzle on the side of your neck as you stroke my mane gently. You pick me up and bring me to my bed, before continuing to snuggle me.
"I've never actually snuggled somepony before, y'know..." I say, wanting to get something I've recently begun worrying about off my mind.
I look at you with a soft look, needing to be comforted.
"It's just that everypony always says I'm too hyper, too weird... I'm starting to feel like even my friends don't care as much," I continue, not really snuggling back as you hold me against your chest.
"It's... Hard for me to keep a smile on my face nowadays... I keep trying to cheer everypony else up, and I do, but whenever I start feeling sad, nopony does the same for me," I say, my eyes tearing up...
"And I want to make you happy... I mean, snuggling me does make you happy, right?" I ask, not expecting a response, since I just need you to listen.
"But I..."
I... I just don't feel like it's worth it... I feel... Sad... Lonely... You know, that sort of thing.
It's like the world loses a bit more colour every single day... I don't feel like myself... And then there's that other me in my head that keeps putting me down.
The thing is, what if everypony is right? What if the other me in my head is right? Am I really just a waste of space? Am I too weird?
I... I'm sorry... I know this isn't how you thought I would act tonight... I shouldn't burden you with all these problems...
I'm sure you have your own human lives... I don't even know if most of you are here...
The thing is, I know that I'm writing a 'story' on a human website... And I know for sure that you all think I'm just one of your kind hiding behind what you believe is just a hyperactive... Stupid... Pink party pony...
But I'm not. You don't have to believe me. But I am the Pinkie Pie. The real Pinkie Pie. And... I'm just not like the way you think I am...
I have my own emotions... I just cover them up behind a smile that's so fake that I'm amazed it makes everypony think that I'm okay... When really, I never have been...
I'm sorry. I've been dragging this along for too long. You should get back to your everyday lives.
I hope I at least make you happy... Even though I'm just faking my cheerfulness...
Have you ever had the feeling that there was somepony else other than you in your head? I mean, I don't think I would put myself down. I would never call myself a 'worthless waste of space'.
I don't feel very happy right now, that's true, but I shouldn't feel so... Depressed. It's like there's something inside me trying to get out...
Something that wants to... To hurt ponies...
No! I would never do that! And why am I telling you about this? You might think I'm a serial killer or a murderer or something that I'm not!
Please, help me, you bronies! I don't know what to do! I need your help...
Heheheh... Isn't power a wonderful thing? For example, just recently, I murdered some stallion who decided to question me. It also helped with the Pinkie Pie thing, of course... H-help! I can't stop her!! She'll be gone eventually. A little bit of solitude can do wonders when it comes to ponies like her.
I... I can't hold on! I'm fighting as hard as I can, but I can't hold on!
Oh yes, I know all about your little talks. Seems like you really care about her. And the reason I'm here? Oh, just to make you and that pathetic mess of a pony SUFFER. It's my favourite thing to cause, suffering.
Please... Find a way...
Ah, good. Now that she's too weak to keep talking - somewhat surprisingly - I can finally introduce myself.
Pinkie Pie pushed the rocks. That was all she did. Push rocks here, push rocks there...
W-Where am I? Why can I see myself? C-can anypony hear me?
It was quite boring, honestly, and she had nopony else to talk to. So, she focused on her work.
"What about me? You can talk to me! Please, Pinkie..." a voice said.
Abandoned Tossed aside...
I-I don't understand! This happened a long time ago!
The voice, as usual, was ignored. It had been ignored for the past three months.
Why can't I be happy I just want to be happy...
Her parents had begun to be seriously concerned with her health. They had stated that the voice was imaginary. She had always had a hyperactive imagination.
"Pinkie, please, I'm not imaginary! I swear!"
I didn't want to be sent to a hospital! That's all it was... That's all...
Anger Betrayed Heartbroken...
She didn't listen. She never did. The voice had tried this many, many times in the past, and each attempt was brushed aside like she didn't care anymore.
She used to care. Back when they were younger, they had always played together. The voice always showed itself as an identical twin to Pinkie, hair down and all.
The voice had always been there to help her. It had tried its' absolute best to comfort her.
And now, it was being brushed aside.
Hurt Broken Depression Grief...
I wish I was dead I wish I hadn't existed Why doesn't she care anymore Why why why...
The voice still loved her, though. The voice saw her as a sister.
Its' sister pushed a smaller rock into the pile she had created, stopping only a moment to rest. The voice tried to get its' sister to listen. It didn't work.
Why doesn't she love me I can't take this Want to let it all out Can't Want to die...
I was stupid back then! Please, just please forgive me! I'm sorry Mena... I'm sorry...
Suddenly, there in the sky, a strange rainbow formation was seen. It was beautiful, and Pinkie couldn't help but stare at it, joy rising in her heart.
The voice felt it. It felt the rush of happiness pour over Pinkie. And yet, though it should have been happy for its' sister, it wasn't. It was miserable.
Want to be happy Can't be happy Hurts too much Miserable Lonely...
It cursed that rainbow, the rainbow that it felt was responsible for its' newfound misery. It felt unwanted, unneeded. As if it was nothing to its' sister.
It hated that feeling. That feeling of happiness which had separated her from her sister even more.
I didn't know! I swear I didn't know!
Rage filled the voice, the voice known as Mena. Anger pulsed through it. It wanted to destroy that happiness.
I hate it I hate it I HATE IT
It just wanted its' sister. That's all it wanted. But if its' sister wouldn't listen to reason...
I hate you I want you to hurt I want to kill everypony you love I want you to suffer...
I'M SORRY, MENA! GIVE ME ANOTHER CHANCE, PLEASE! I'LL DO ANYTHING, I SWEAR! ... ... ... ... It would force her to.
You simply can't. You cannot understand how it feels to be tossed aside like a piece of trash. You can't understand what being lonely feels like.
She can't either. Why do you think I am in control and not her? She needs to feel, needs to understand what it's like to slowly go insane from solitude. To be tossed aside like she did to me.
She was like a sister to me, long ago. I loved her dearly. She even came up with a nickname for me, Mena.
And then, everypony in her family said I was imaginary, over and over. They said imaginary friends weren't real. And from then on, I was never talked to. I was never loved. I tried and tried... But to no avail.
So now you know why I've taken your party pony away from you.
Hiya, everypony! Since we haven't talked in so long, Mena and I thought now would be a good time!
Yeah, we've kinda been missing you all after getting demoted to this story.
Yeppers! You know how lonely it's been? Like, really, super duper lonely!
But anyway, we managed to get back our interdimensional portal! So that's great and all.
And our friend Hunter managed to plead our case for us! That's why we're still here!
So yeah, here we are. How've you all been anyway? Let us know in the comments, heh.
We've been doing great! Me and Mena are throwing really amazing parties, it's almost like we're the same pony, heehee!
Pinkie, we are the same pony.
Heehee, I know! I was joking, you silly filly!
Soooo, does anypony have questions for us? I mean, you all watch the show based on us, so you'd know some things. But while we've been getting to know you as much as we can, we haven't really talked about our pasts.
Yeah, that'd be interesting. But otherwise, feel free to have a little conversation with us if you'd like. We don't mind.
Anyway, our portal is getting low on power, so we have to go, sadly, but don't forget that we're still here!
Oh thank goodness! You all can hear me, right? Phew... I thought the portal was broken during that trip.
I mean, I'm somewhere that my friends don't exist... And I hate it... But at least I have Mena and you guys, right?
Oh, I should explain. Well, you see, Twilight asked me to help her test out a spell, and of course I said yes!
I didn't know the spell was a dimension hop spell, though... And now I'm in a weird place that has white walls and something that says... Um... S... C... P...? I think that's it.
I heard a lot of steps, but I don't think they were ponies... I have no idea if it's safe to go out or not.
So I'm staying in this broom closet for now, it doesn't look like it's been used for a long time. I really hope nothing tries to eat me or hurt me...
What should I do? I really, really need your help! Do any of you know anything about where I am? Oh, please tell me...
It's alright, Pinkie... Don't worry... I'm here.
Guys, if you can give us any information, that'd be great. Thanks... I've gotta comfort Pinkie, so I need to shut down the portal.
Oh, thank Celestia you can hear this. Let me explain why you aren't hearing Pinkie at all before you go 'Mena, stop controlling our friend' on me, alright?
Pinkie gave me permission to take control cause I can a) Fight better than her and b) She's too overwhelmed with this place to be able to keep control of her sanity.
So, I volunteered. That's what happens when you have another version of you in your head.
So now that that's out of the way, I'm a bit concerned about the fact that I hear screams outside. Yeah, I know, the serial killer shouldn't be scared of something she's used to. Here's the thing: There are screams that I'm used to, and there's also ones that sound like some crazed beast is screaming continuously.
Not only that, but I'm hearing roars in the distance and what sounds like teleportation in the walls.
Celestia only knows what's happening out there, but I think it'd be best if I stayed hidden, yeah?
And to you, Midnight Moon or whatever your name was, they're not doing a very good job of Securing, Containing, or Protecting by the banging sounds and then a scream.
So somepony tell me what the buck is going on here, ok?
Wait, why is there black goop on the walls..? And what the buck- OH BUCK NO! I'M OUTTA HERE!
I need to stay very, very quiet. I managed to get away from that... Old Man as you called it. But there is something outside the door, and I can hear it. It keeps saying something about 'Being the cure' and letting it help me.
I... I think I'm safe. It doesn't seem to know I'm here yet. But I can hear weird groaning coming from outside as well.
From what clocks I've seen, it's like midnight, and I can already feel Pinkies' body slowing down.
I'm gonna do something I promised I wouldn't do. I'm gonna separate from Pinkie, that way I can keep watch over her while she sleeps.
Celestia help me, I don't think I stand a chance against any of these, not without using energy blasts... And even then, I'm not sure I can hurt them.
I may have to go out there and fight anyway.
I really hope Twilight learns a counterspell soon.
I tried to escape them as long as I could. Almost got away, got shot with some kind of dart.
Haven't heard from Pinkie in a while, so it's just me now.
I swear, being locked in whatever room this is will make me go insane eventually. There's no colour, no change to the scenery, just a blank, white room.
Wasn't able to eat for a while, thought of attacking the next thing to come in here, I was so hungry. Thankfully, the next time someone came, it was with some form of food. Hated the taste, but it stopped the hunger pangs.
I'm treated like some common animal, I swear. Last orange-suited person who came here actually tried to pet me. I didn't trust it, so I kinda backed up real far away.
He looked disappointed, honestly. Felt a bit bad, wanted to let him. They took him out before I changed my mind.
I hate it here, I really do... Oh mare, I want sis to come back...
They're jabbing needles into me, I don't know why! They shouldn't be jabbing needles into me! It makes me aggressive, and I'm trying... Trying not to kill any of them, even though they deserve it...
Pinkie has to come back, she has to! I can't keep control much longer... I can feel the power I keep hidden rising...
I talked to them. I asked, looking as innocent and adorable as possible that they let me go...
They didn't.
It's their own fault, really. They were jabbing needles into me. They were hurting me. I didn't like it. So, I killed them, I killed the white-suited ones.
An alarm went off. Some more tried to restrain me. But I wasn't going to let them hurt me more. So, I killed the blue-suited ones, too.
I didn't know humans liked to torture ponies. So, can you blame me for wanting all of you dead, too? You all deserve it for letting me get hurt.
And you just stood back and watched.
You think I like being a killer? No. Maybe you never truly forgave me for what I did to Pinkie. Maybe you all are just as sick as the rest of your kind. Whichever it is, I don't care.
All that matters is that you stood by and WATCHED.
I was crying out for help. You didn't listen. I was struggling. You didn't seem to care. You saw me crying, didn't you? You knew how much it would hurt.
And you, especially, Midnight Moon. You know all about this place. You knew for sure that I would be experimented on. But you didn't tell me, did you?
I should kill you all right now. I should rip out your guts and EAT them. Maybe make you taste yourself, hm? Wouldn't that be just FUN?
Oh, and did you think you'd be safe behind that screen of yours?
Humans should die Pinkie, for all that they do to us. They're heartless, abusive, possibly even more insane than myself!
That doesn't mean you should try to kill them! And Midnight, he was just trying to help us! Although, I do have to ask why he didn't tell us... That could've killed me and Mena, if they stabbed us with something deadly...
Why should I forgive them, Pinkie? Why should I forgive them for everything they've done?!?!
Because not all humans are like that, Mena. They can't do anything from behind the screen. They don't have a CHOICE but to watch... And I know it hurts them. It hurts them really badly. I could tell Midnight wanted to cry when he heard what had happened to you, to us.
...
Humans go out to fight wars all the time. But all we can do is watch. Even though we want to help them. All this that you're trying to break? That's just a connection to their world. It can't be used to do anything more than contact them.
You're lucky that I'll listen to my sis, Midnight. Don't buck me over like that again.
Thank you, Mena. Now, please, I can take control again... You can take a break.
Eheheh... About that, sis... I may have done the one thing I swore never to do and separated from you...
W-What? No! How long has it been?!?!
4-6 days...
M-Mena, what were you thinking? You're gonna die because of that!
Mena found herself floating in an endless blank abyss. She didn't know how she got there or why she was there, she just knew she hadn't died.
"Where... Where am I?" She wondered, unable to speak.
Suddenly, she heard a voice, a voice which she recognized as *!¢^!&$+*%%^.
"Mena, are you there?" The voice asked. "Do you wish to speak? To live?"
"Huh? Is that you, *!¢^!&$+*%%^? How... How are you here? I thought I was dead..." Mena replied, quite confused.
"You are. But I am giving you the option to regain life once more," the voice said.
A shimmer appeared in the distance, the outline being that of an alicorn. It approached silently.
"So, I will repeat myself. Do you wish to speak once more? Live once more?" the outline asked.
"But, wait... How am I aware? I need a host for that," she asked, rather startled by this fact.
Suddenly, a black-furred, green-maned Pegasus appeared to the right of the alicorn.
"Hey, Mena. Remember me?" the Pegasus asked, stretching its' wings before folding them against its' sides.
"Huh? Silence? How'd you manage to get here? I don't get it..." Mena said, attempting to move, but failing, capable only of telepathically speaking.
"You don't have to get it, Mena. What matters is that you're here now," Silence said. "Although, it might be wise to answer *!¢^!&$+*%%^'s question."
"Yeah... Yeah, I would like to be with my sis again," she murmured hopefully.
"What are you willing to give for it?" the alicorn asked.
"I... I don't know what you'd want..." She said, a chill going down her neck. She'd seen this sort of thing before... Usually it involved sexual favours.
But it would be worth it to be with her sister again.
"I... If I have to, I'll let you do whatever you want to me," she said nervously.
"Very well, then. You will not be able to manifest again without dying permanently if you choose to return to your sister," the alicorn stated, seating itself and crossing its' forelegs.
At the news, Mena's face lit up with worry.
"Does that include in the world I'm from? And what about the portal? Will I be able to speak to the humans ever again?" She asked.
"No, you will not be able to speak to them. And yes, you will not be able to manifest anywhere without dying," the alicorn replied.
At this, Silence.EXE, who had been listening intently, decided to interject.
"Is there any way you can allow her to exist in the world she was created in? As a result of being from there, I can confirm to you that many stories will collapse due to her disappearance. Not only that, but the world itself could possibly disintegrate," he said, leaning forward.
"It will come at a cost to all of us. I may not be able to speak to either of you, or Pinkie again," *!¢^!&$+*%%^ stated.
"We'll find a way to allow you to contact us. But if she cannot manifest in my world, then I cannot accept this deal. This kind of thing was what originally caused the GrimDark to shift further into darkness," said Silence, tapping his hooves together.
The alicorn appeared to think about the negotiations for a little while before it nodded.
"I can allow it, but that is as far as I will go," it said.
"Then these terms are acceptable. It is now up to Mena to make her decision," he said, turning to the mare.
"I'm gonna miss talking to the humans, but... If it means I can be with my sister again, I'll do it," said Mena.
"Very well, then," stated the alicorn, rising and flaring its' wings.
Hiya, everypony! Before I answer your questions, I wanna share some news with you!
Thanks to me behaving well, I'm no longer in the room I've had to stay in. They decided to move me to an outdoor place with a nice field! It's almost like home... Almost.
Anyway, I'm fenced in and there's a lot of blue-suited people around, but I'm much happier here than in that stuffy old cell, heehee!
So, now that I've updated you on that, I got a lot of questions from you all, which makes me pretty happy.
So I'll answer your questions now.
Firstly, Mena loves red. For reasons that should be obvious, heehee! That Cupcakes story had some truth to it... Well, not for me, but Mena.
As for what I think about gray... I turned gray that one time when Discord was being a meanie-pants. Gray kinda... Sucks the joy out of life a little bit. Well, a lot. I wasn't happy at all when I was gray, and neither were my friends.
And for that one voice that keeps asking me when I met Mena, I never met Mena, silly! She's been a part of me since birth! Haven't you ever wondered why I get straight hair sometimes? That's Mena!
I hope I answered your questions, and I want you all to know me and Mena are safe. We're not really... Happy here without our friends, but we're surviving.
So don't worry.
We'll keep you updated on how we're doing! Don't forget your questions!
Sooo... They brought me a weird box. It looks like a normal box, but it says 'Here Be Dragons' on the front of it. I took a look at it, and it doesn't do anything.
I think they're just trying to get me to create dragons, heehee! Well, I may be able to break reality, but I can't just create dragons! Oh, those silly fillies...
Anyways, I got more questions from you guys! And I get weird looks from that one blue-suited human, now. I mean, it does kinda look like I'm talking to myself, heehee!
So, I'm kinda confused at the name William Steven, but I guess multiverse meddling did work, after all! I think Mena is getting a bit stir-crazy, though, since she's really, REALLY bored!
And no, I haven't made any cupcakes for them! Actually, I'm gonna try that right now!
Hey, Mr. Blue Suit! I made some cupcakes for you, heehee! I know you'll enjoy them!
Hm? It's against the rules to interact with me? Awww... You can enjoy a cupcake and have a little break just once! I promise I'll sit right here and not move an inch!
You'll make an exception this once?! Ooh, thank you thank you thank you!
Is it good? Do you like it?
You do! Heehee, that's great! Well, I'm gonna go talk to my friends for a bit, see you soon!
Well, you got your answer, heehee!
Huh? Why is the box open now? I didn't open it... And it looks really spooky and smoky! I wonder why...
Whoa! What are those little guys? They look like... Origami?
Oh! You can talk? That's amazing! I didn't know origami could talk! But... You talk really loud. Why can't they hear you?
Huh? If they had good imaginations, they'd hear you, too? Oh... Can my friends hear you?
Only if they believed you existed inside that box? Okay... Well, they can ask you questions, then!
C'mon, everypony! Give the origami - I mean, dragons - a few questions! Maybe they can talk to you, too!
Anyway, I'm gonna talk to the dragons for a bit.
Or... Dragon, since only the one is staying, it seems. Either way, see you guys later!
H-Help! Some black-suited people kidnapped me and Drago! I-I'm scared!
I don't know what happened! I was getting ready to answer some more questions, and all of a sudden, everything went crazy!
Mr. Blue Suit, the one I gave the cupcake to, he immediately ran over to me, told me he wouldn't let anything happen to me, and then h-he hugged me...
When the black-suited people came after me, he tried to fight them, but I think he got hurt really, really badly... I don't know if he's dead or not... Now me and Drago are stuck here. His... Um... 'room'? I think it's his room is with us...
Oh... My head... W-W-Wait, where am I? Why are there so many large origami dragons around me?!
It's ok, Pinkie. You're safe.
Wh-who are you? And why do you sound like Dashie?!
Pinkie, calm down! It's me, Drago! How I grew so large and why the others are all here, I have no idea, but you're safe. We flew you as far away as we could from that termination centre. And uh... We found someone who says they know you from the fields...
Hello, Miss Pie. Glad to see you.
Mr. Blue Suit?!?! You're okay?!
Yes, thankfully. My squad managed to get me to medbay. Unfortunately, while I was there, multiple foundations across the world were attacked. Some were attacked by the Chaos Insurgency - the ones you saw - and some were attacked by the Global Occult Coalition. I'm sorry to say most of the Foundations are destroyed.
So, we're not safe. At all.
Unfortunately not. You're currently at a base of a group known as the Serpent's Hand. They allowed me to come guard you myself because I don't think you... Any of you... Should be contained. Truth be told, I'm one of them.
But... Do they know we're here? I don't want anypony to fight...
Mena found herself waking up in the blank abyss from before. Planes of white were all she could see around her.
In the distance, a familiar, black-furred Pegasus approached, appearing to be floating etherealy.
"Hello, Mena. I'm sure you know why you're here," he said.
"Wasn't it because that *!¢^!&$+*%%^ guy said to talk with him?" Mena replied.
"Correct. He'll be here in a few minutes. Await him," Silence said, smiling slightly.
"This better be worth it..." Mena murmured, looking down in concern, her thoughts focused on Pinkie. She hoped her sister was okay.
A little while later, the same glowing being that had first revived her strided forward.
"You have come," he stated. "Although I do not believe you needed to. I simply stated 'if' you could not reach the safety of Drago's Room, to come talk to me. Apparently, that is a non-issue."
At this, Silence cut in, looking rather worried.
"Incorrect. There is currently a war in that world. I do not feel as if Pinkie Pie and Mena are safe," he said, his wings flaring before refolding at his sides.
"The members of the Serpent's Hand are capable combatants. As long as they can hold the line, Mena, Pinkie, and Drago, are all completely safe," replied *!¢^!&$+*%%^.
"Well, we aren't safe, I can tell. That blue-suit guy keeps telling us not to go outside, and we can hear explosions out there. So excuse me for worrying about MY SISTER possibly DYING!" She growled, her spiritual form sparking with rage.
"Silence. Mena. Does the Black Moon howl?" he asked calmly, with Silence blinking in confusion in response.
"My sister is in danger of dying and you ask me a stupid question like that?! Don't you understand what she means to me?!?!" roared Mena in a strange combination of fear, concern, and anger.
"She howls for her lost children. She howls so they may hear her, and come home," he said patiently, looking at a hoof and inspecting it for damage.
Mena sputters in anger, the answer not what she was expecting. Suddenly, *!¢^!&$+*%%^'s gaze locked onto hers.
"You may manifest, but you must kill to do so safely. Who you kill doesn't matter, as long as the price of blood is paid," he stated.
Mena looks down for a moment, her eyes dark. She had thought she had changed. But there they were, her darkest instincts, calling to her. She looked up and spoke.
"That... That I can deal with," she said, a cold smirk appearing on her muzzle.
She looked at the portal to your realm and laughed.
"So we found another L4 engagement? A pony?! Seriously? That has got to be the weirdest thing I ever heard," said a soldier, staring down at the small, pink mass of fur in front of him.
"It's kinda cute. I don't see how this thing took so much effort to get. We lost an entire squad because of it!" said another soldier with multiple injuries.
"Get it back to main headquarters. We'll deal with it then," said the obviously in-command soldier, just now getting off a call.
"Sir? What do you mean by we'll deal with it then? Aren't we supposed to execute this thing here?" asked the first soldier.
"Not this one. D.C. Al Fine thinks it'll be useful if we can force its' loyalty to be ours. So take it to the Evac location," responded the commander, beginning to walk towards a hastily-made helipad.
"So, she's finally realizing some of them are useful, huh?" said the first soldier to the second.
"Looks like it," responded the second soldier.
As the pony was dragged to the helicopter, a dark shadow seemed to rush by, although noone saw it.
Oh... My head... Where am I now...?
Relax, Pinkie. You're safe with me.
M-Mena? And the humans are here, too?
Yeah. Sorry that I can't exactly be seen right now. According to that one guy who let me manifest, I have to kill to do so safely.
O-Oh... Mena, just please don't lose all your sanity this time...
I'll try not to. And to let you and the humans know, we're currently in a GOC base. It's one of the organizations that I need to take down for you to be safe.
GOC? Wait, that's that one group that wants to kill us! But why did they bring us here?
Plot convenience, maybe? I dunno. I don't care, either. All that matters is that they die and you're safe.
How do you plan on doing that, I can't even see in here!
So that's what you wanted to do, hm? Too bad that won't be happening.
Ah, light! Owie...
...
Uh Oh...
Pinkie Pie found herself in a room filled with people. Many of them had weaponry out and ready. None of them looked friendly.
In a chair across the room, there sat a human woman that seemed to be European in nationality. Nonetheless, the woman simply smiled coldly at Pinkie.
"Now, whatever you are, I would like to congratulate you on being the first parathreat that hasn't been executed right away. We have some use for you, it seems," she said, motioning to a guard. "Inject the microchip now."
The guard approached with what looked like a syringe, and Pinkie started panicking.
"W-What are you gonna do to me!" she cried out as the guard came closer.
The woman simply ignored Pinkie's worries, choosing instead to conversate calmly with the soldier next to her.
"Such an interesting specimen... I would think this one has multiple personality disorder. Perhaps Bipolar Disorder as well. Make sure you note that down," she said, tapping her chin.
"Yes, Ma'am," replied the soldier, retrieving a pen and a strange-looking form.
"It also seems useful for break-ins, espionage, even combat... We struck gold with this one. It would be a shame to execute it without making use of it for a few years, wouldn't it?" she chuckled.
As the guard came closer, Pinkie attempted to shrink away, to no avail. The syringe penetrated her neck. She went stock-still.
After a few moments, she turned to the woman.
"Well? What do you want me to do?" Pinkie giggled.
The woman smiled, her eyes gleaming.
"Whatever we tell you to do."
Mena watched this, her heart breaking when she saw her sister change.
"You monsters... I'll kill every single one of you..." She said quietly, her eyes tearing up.
"I'll save you, sis... I promise... But right now, you'd probably kick my plot all the way to Saddle Arabia if I tried attacking that human. That's what she'd make you do, anyway..." She murmured.
She looked out the portal to your world.
"We're in this together. Let's take this facility out from the bottom up. For Pinkie."
Lord Balroth! I bear news from the world of the SCP Foundation! They are currently in an XK-Class End-Of-The-World scenario! It appears the legendary Scarlet King has escaped his reality and entered their plane.
Indeed? What wonderful news. Once that world falls, we will be one step closer to completing our goal. However, I must ask. How did you manage it?
We did not have a hand in it, Sir. It appears that a being from the 'Little Pony' universe was somehow brought there by means currently unknown to us. This being is quite literally a pink pony.
Really... How interesting. Is it possible your divines can... Intervene and send it to a new world?
Most likely... But I do not believe it can be done without a catalyst. It will need to attempt to return home or be forcibly moved to said reality.
Hm... That world with all of those... Pocket Monsters... The one we are having trouble with? Attempt to send it there.
Will it not interrupt our plans?
Indeed. But it will also further them. After all, that cult leader seems to enjoy... Power... Quite a bit.
Ah.... I see what you wish to happen. I will speak to the divines under my control. They will do what they can.
Will that rogue celestial be a problem?
The dimension-walker? I do not know. It is the sole wild card.
Hmph. Keep an eye on it.
We will do our utmost to keep track of it.
Wonderful. You have done well, Niya.
Thank you, Lord Balroth!
... ... ... Soon, my Queen... Soon you will be awoken and have all of the multiverse under your control... Just a few more worlds.
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? I haven't seen you ever since that damn EXE nearly blew my head off, and I've been launched to at LEAST three separate worlds, each one worse than the last, and NOW you show up? In the middle of a bucking warzone?!
Sorry, sorry, just been a little stressed lately, I thought that you abandoned me or something, okay? I get lonely sometimes without my sis...
Or it could just be the writer's fault, but I really don't need to get into the fourth-wall breaking right now.
Anyway, what I mean by warzone is some group called the Nighthawk Rebellion with amazing technology is currently attacking Equestria. I am currently in the mi- HOLY BUCK THAT CAME WAY TOO CLOSE TO MY HEAD!!!!
Look, I'll fill you in on what's happened so far later on but right now I need to concentrate. Hopefully the window will stay open. Ok? Bye!
"Look, I don't give a BUCK how long it takes, get that window to stay open alright?!"
"Ma'am, it's a waste of valuable materials-"
"I will make your number come up like THAT if you don't bucking listen!"
"...Yes, Ma'am."
Bucking Tartarus they just don't listen! And yes, sorry you had to hear that. I needed the window up for sanity reasons... As you can probably tell, I've kinda slipped into my old habits of baking pony cupcakes again. That's what happens when I'm left with nothing but my own sadistic thoughts. Anyway.
Look, you probably are confused at multiple things, one of them being why I'm using the first ever window. That's because the second window closed, the third one was shattered because of Rainbow.EXE, and this one was the only one left.
So, I guess deal with it.
In other news, no, I have not seen nor heard anything from or about Pinks, other than that when sighted the one time, she looked like me. I hope that doesn't mean what I think it means.
Secondly: Yes, I managed to beat Rainbow.EXE but I think that goddess gal disappeared off to Neverland or something cause she didn't contact me after the battle.
Thirdly: No, I have not been able to save a single world from disaster as of the moment. This world is going just as poorly. I'm literally counting down the moments before I get booted.
Fourth: I... Suck with emotions, so I... Don't really know how to say this? But... Uh... I missed you guys. Like, a lot. But I kept my promise... I told you I woudon't turn evil.
If you hadn't shown up, I might've gone outright insane again...
Now's not the time though. I don't know how long the ceasefire will last, so I'm limited on time. Ask any questions you have and quickly. I'll answer them ASAP.
"Hey, keep the line straight, no bunching up! We don't need one of the blasts taking out more than one of us!"
Aw donkey dung... They got another one. I'll be right with you guys, alright?
"LOOK OUT!"
Ow... Owwww... I don't know what just happened, but I legitimately started flying. Well... There doesn't seem to be anypony here so... Uh... Questions, right.
Okay, so, let me get something straight: These worlds don't have separate names. They're all alternate versions of Equestria. They have different themes. This one is about war, which leads me into your second question.
We're fighting against a group called the Nighthawk Rebellion. They have ideals that the land of Equestria should be run by a military rather than a Princess, excuse me, Queen. They believe that the Elements of Harmony can no longer sustain a peaceful Equestria and that a well-equipped group of soldiers would be better as a whole to destroy any and all threats to Equestria.
But to be able to do that, they need to take down the Princess. My troops and I are the only ones guarding Canterlot currently due to a well-timed distraction. If they get past us, it's game over for Twilight and game over for this Equestria.
We're barely holding them back.
As for why I'm dimension-hopping, it was explained in a previous mirror. However, I'll do a rough copy here: A Reality Goddess or whatever she gave herself the rank of, decided to anoint me as a 'Hero of the Light'. She really should've chosen Pinkie because I've done nothing but bring darkness to every world, but that's besides the point.
As a hero of the light, my job is to try to keep the multiverses in balance by doing the dirty work in each world. Thus, whenever a world is either fixed or destroyed... Usually destroyed... I am transported to a different world in the astral storm of the weave. Make sense?
And lastly, the question about Balroth and Niya... Yes, I remember this 'Niya' as some kind of Spirit of Mischief, but Balroth, I haven't heard of.
Anyway, I need to get back to the fight. I'll talk to you later.
Oh Celestia help us they're dead... They're all dead... I'm the only one left, they slaughtered them while I was gone...
Buck, I'm a psychotic serial killer and even I'm disturbed by what they did...
Have you ever seen ponies chopped into pieces on the ground, scattered everywhere? Pinned up against walls with stakes... Disintegrated into piles of ash...
This place is like a nightmare from the GrimDark...
I don't understand. Why am I not in a new world? We failed, I failed, the rules state that when that happens, I switch worlds...
I need to check on the Princesses.
They're not here... Where are they?! They specifically said they'd set up a command tent he-OOF!
"Heh. So you're that one survivor. Good job on escaping, not so good job coming here."
Is that a... Kirin?! What's a Kirin doing here? And why is she... Oh. Oh no. This has to be the Admiral of the NHR... the Firestorm, as she's nicknamed.
"Glad to see you recognize me. You're gonna want to make sure you know who I am when we toss you in the brig. General, if you would?"
GAH! Didn't expect that hit... I think he... I think... I...
The Kirin, Admiral of the Nighthawk Rebellion, takes a good look over the now-unconscious mare. She smirks, nodding at the cyborg-like Kirin who was her General.
"Get her to the brig. Always good to have leverage. And that Scarlet King guy might want her anyway."
Oh... My head... Hey! Why am I tied up! That's supposed to be my job!
"Well, well. Look who's awake."
Oh Celestia no... I thought I got rid of him! That murderous, world-destroying maggot of a rapist is STILL after me?!
He looks different... Looks like he was at least hurt by the universe imploding around him.
"How'd it feel to get crushed by your own doing, huh?"
OW! Celestiadamnit, he's a mare-beater now, too?!
"I don't think you understand me, Miss Pinkamena. I couldn't care less about you currently. And why would I? Your sister is on my side. She's much more willing to give me whatever I desire."
"IF YOU DO ANYTHING TO HER YOU MOTHERBUCKING MARE-BEATER, I SWEAR TO ALL THE UNIVERSES ABOVE I WILL KILL YOU!"
Almost did the Royal Canterlot Voice there with that one...
"Oh my. Struck a nerve, did I? Oopsies."
That Luna-forsaken smile... I want to wipe it off his bucking face...
"Oh, and Pinkamena, dear? Don't bother trying anymore. She's simply too you to turn back now. Toodles!"
Days. I've been here for DAYS. I have no idea why nopony decided to check on me. Something feels off.
"You are in serious danger, Mena."
Aaaand I'm starting to hear things now as well. Celestia help me, I'm losing it again. Are any of you even there? I didn't get any responses... The mirror isn't broken...
"Mena, snap out of it."
I get it, that voice must be my brain trying to keep me sane... But what I wouldn't give for a bit of water or food right now... Haven't had anything in days, feeling weak...
"MENA, PAY ATTENTION! YOUR GODDESS COMMANDS IT!"
H-Huh?! Wait... Valencia? Was that your name? I thought you disappeared...
"Mena, what is happening to you? In your mind I can feel the insanity of your past slowly going to the surface. Who did this to you, my Champion?"
I... I don't know... I think it's not someone but something. A situation. They're the only supporters I have, if they're gone, I don't think I can stop myself from losing it...
"I see. Rather Yandere, are you?"
You damn well know I am, Valencia! I have a knife, I'm insane, I have all the markings of a Yandere! It's no surprise. But I wanna make it clear that I just care about them. Only one who has to worry is Silence, now him, I'm Yandere for. Anyway, that's not what we were talking about!
"Simple distractions often are a simple solution. From henceforth, speak to me, my Champion. I will provide you with companionship while they're gone."
G-Guys... Something is SERIOUSLY wrong with wherever I just stepped into...
Look, it's just too strangely peaceful here. Peaceful to the point of being suspicious. It looks normal, but I can FEEL that something is wrong...
Let me clear things up, okay?
So, this place is Ponyville, but is literally ONLY Ponyville. It's like that human game, uh... Silent something? I don't know. But whenever I try walking away from Ponyville, I'm immediately thrown back to it. I'm on the outskirts and I don't think anypony's seen me yet...
Wait... are those... I just saw two bipedal... those are humans, right? Man, they look so weird... I should warn them... uh oh.
I think they saw me. They're just staring at me, not moving.
"Uh... hello! Don't know who you two are, but..."
Oh BUCK they're starting to run after me, I gotta run!
Oh Celestia help m-OOF!
Ack! How are humans so fast! And why isn't my superspeed working!
"Let go of me, you stupid bucking human things!!!!!"
"Not until you tell us where we are and how to get out of here."
"I don't know, I just got here myself, okay!"
Uh... why did the humans freeze like that? And why is there... wait...
"Oh. Hello, strangers," says the... the... oh Celestia, I want to throw up... Twilight... her wing... her neck...
This is horrifying... how is she even still alive with a broken NECK?! And a torn off wing!
"Welcome to Ponyville..." Twilight says.
Her stare is locked onto me. It's making it harder to not throw up...
"You haven't received his blessing, fellow pony. We must change that. They will deal with the humans. Come with me," She continues.
"What?" Asks the human nervously, having picked me up.
Ugh... I feel like a foal being this high up... can't even touch the ground with my hooves... why are you all so damn big? I can barely even reach the height of your knees!
And what is with you humans petting everything you touch that has even a little fur on it?! Ooh... ooh... mmm, right there... mare, at least you know the perfect spots....
"You are enjoying their poison. We will free you from it." says Twilight, immediately before a flash appears revealing... Another human? But this one... this one doesn't look friendly... well, he does, but overly friendly, like old me torturing a new victim. And this one's looking at me weirdly too...
Oh... oh my head... I think I'll just... Just...
Mena appears to go limp, at which point a small group of pony-things with twisted features set upon the two humans with varying sharp weapons. The humans fought back with firearms, but as a result, Mena was dropped and was picked up by the other human.
That was as far as I was able to see before my mental vision was somehow blocked by an unknown force. Mena has not yet woken up, and all I can discern is that we are in a strange room with black ooze dripping from the walls and partially the ceiling.
Do not worry. She will wake up... but for now, you must simply wait.
Wake up, my Champion. You must wake up, it is not safe here.
Ugh... five more minutes...
Pinkamena, please. We do not have five minutes. The ooze is coming towards us.
Ooze...? What ooze...? I don't understand...
CHAMPION. ROUSE YOURSELF FROM YOUR SLUMBER IMMEDIATELY, BY ORDER OF YOUR GODDESS!
Yow! Dear Celestia, you're loud! I'm up, I'm up. Just don't pull another Luna.
And what do you mean, 'ooze'? And what's this bla- OHMYCELESTIAWHATTHEHELLISTHAT?!?!?!
That is what I speak of. This is a nest... And I fear it may be how this world was corrupted.
And HOW the BUCK do you plan on me killing that?! It looks like it'll bounce my knife right back to me!
Great, now you shut up when I need you most, ugh...
Okay, okay... First step, need to find a way out. This room's got like... 4 exits? Oh mare, I was never good at mazes. And whatever that thing is, I need to stay quiet. I get the feeling even being me won't stop that bucker from absorbing me and giving me that "blessing" the Twilight was talking about.
Right... Looks like there's maggots and a stench that reminds me of my basement down that way, a.k.a., I don't want to go there. Left... oh goodie, the exact same. Behind me... Ah, more ooze. And this one's awake.
Wait.
RUN, YOU FOOL!
That's an amazing plan! Let's do that!
Nope, nope, nope, nopity nope nope nope, HELL no! I am NOT dealing with that dung.
And now I'm even more lost. Bucking magnificent.
I'm in some sort of sewer tunnels right now, and I have no idea where to go. Hey, everypony that may or may not still be here... Can I ask for help after all this time?
AND BRING YOU TO THE PARTY! Ooh, I need to start planning! Lemmee go get my party cannon!
