Speaking with Insanity

        -Dwemmer Deadraferium Room-

        Pinkie and her friends were getting ready to activate the machine. Ink-Wing had told Pinkie the basic controls and she was ready to turn it on at any moment. She had to make sure that everypony present was okay with it first.

        "Okay, when I pull this lever, we will all become face to face with Sheogorath. I need to make sure everypony is okay with that." Pinkie shouted.

        "Whatever will get us home." Twilight replied.

        "A-as long as I'm not hit with the wabbajack again." Fluttershy hid behind her shield.

        "I worship the guy! So it would be a treat to see him!" Scaleblade happily announced.

        "He can't be too bad, I mean the Thalmor are probably worse for torture." Rarity commented.

        Pinkie then nodded and checked the settings again. It was set to go to oblivion, specifically right beside Sheogorath in whatever plane he may be in. She then pulled the lever. The machine than began to spur to life. Lights blinked, bobbers bobbed and spinners span. Than two large lightning bolts hit the floor as something unexpected happened.

        -Thalmor Docks-

        Odahviing was waiting for something however he didn't know what. Paarthunax just told him to wait for "it" to happen. He had waited for over an hour now and nothing happened. Dragons were usually patient beings, due to the fact they were partially immortal. However waiting for something hedidn't  even have a clue to as what it was was excruciating.

        He had started to converse with a soldier on one of the boats Pinkie's army arrived on when he heard a blast. He looked over to see that half the city was leveled and the sky was changing colors. Finally the skyr had settled on its regular blue however there was a noticeable time warp essence leading to the palace.

       "Paarthunax is that..." Odahviing began.

       "What we were waiting for? Yes! Now..." Paarthunax added a dramatic pause "...we wait!"

       "WHAT THE FU-"

       -Dwemmer Deadraferium-

       Instead of being in Oblivion the group was still in the Dwemmer Deadraferium room... or what was left of it as the result of using the machine ended with tearing half the city down, including the room. But rather being transported away, a being was transported to them.

       Standing in front of Pinkie was a human, wearing red and purple stripped pajamas with a matching night cap. In his right arm he held a brown teddy bear "WHO DARES AWAKE THE PRINCE OF MADNESS FROM HIS SLUMBER?!?!?!" He screamed with a deep voice as smoke spilled out of his ears and nose "Oh, and Mr.Pizzamuffin." He than smiled at his teddy bear.

       "Ahem, I am Empress Pinkamena Diane Pie of the Stormcloaks and I have summoned you here to Nirn to answere some of my questions." Pinkie announced.

       "Wait I'm on Nirn? Wow! I haven't been here in a while! You know since the whole oblivion crisis thing and us princes have been completely banned. Well I guess I'm in your debt empress," He bowed than checked over his outfit "Oh my! I guess I must change into some good clothing! Not my casual attire dear no! I'll be back!"

       With that Sheogorath was gone. Pinkie pulled the lever again to re-summon him. Pulled it back than forth once.

       No Sheogorath.

       She readied and pulled the lever again.

       No Sheogorath.

       One more time, maybe the machine was being slow?

       No Sheogorath.

       Getting impatient she quickly slammed the lever form one side to the other. Only to come to the disappointing result of having no Sheogorath. Pinkie turned around and hung her head low "Im sorry girls, I guess were stuck here fore-" pinkie was then interrupted my maniacal laughter echoing through the room. However the sound itself semed to be coming from the groups noses. When it finally stopped a multitude of colored lightning bolts struck from the sky to the machine causing a small fire, which released an extremly larg amount of pinkish greenish smoke, to form. When the fire died out the group saw only one figure. Sheogorath.

        "Toldya I'd be back!" Sheogorath smiled. He now wore a grey tee which had a non-colored picture of Rainbow Dash with the word "BRONY" above it. He was also wearing cargo shorts and a utility belt which held miniature plastic dolls of the mane six, however having two versions of Twilight, an Alicorn and a Unicorn. As well as Celestia and Luna.

        He soon noticed them looking oddly at his attire "What? Let a man wear what he wants." Sheogorath crossed his arms.

        "Sheogorath, I have... knowledge that you know of Equestria, My home." Pinkie explained.

        "Yes, I watch the show, manage an account on Fimfiction.net, heck I've even stolen the TARDIS to watch seasons four five and six." Sheogorath explained.

        "Uh... No... I meant you have first hand knowledge on Equestria. In fact you have a contact or friend there." Pinkie was hinting to something.

        "Continue." Sheogorath was interested. He knew exactly what Pinkie was leading to. The ultimate reason why she wanted to speak with him.

        "Well when I came here I already had a well kept bank of knowledge on the history of Nirn and Tamriel as well as how the politics worked," Pinkie explaiend "I attained this knowledge through a seemingly fictional set of stories known as the Adventures of Sir Cornwood and Ghum, the Magical Bunny Rabbit."

        Twilight's eyes went wide. She knew that book and exactly who wrote it. She never actually read it as per her bad relationship with the author. But kept copies of the series in her library "Pinkie you don't mean..."

        "Yes I do," Pinkie paused "That series was wrote by Discord, Chaotic god of Insanity. I quickly made the connection when I realized the series was all true. Discord, Chaotic god of insanity and Sheogorath, Deadric Prince of Insanity. You both rule the same domain but in different dimensions. Wat that means is you must have a way to move between or at least contact the planet of Equus."

        "Pinkie you have some valid evidence," Discord announced seeing the smirk grow on Pinkies face, only to be chopped down by what he said next "However you are wrong. I Sheogorath have never visited Equestria and have never seen or come into contact with Discord."

       "B-but... what? How could you not? All the evid-" Pinkie was interrupted.

       "Yeah? You know what I wanna say about the evidence? Your mom," Sheogorath sat down... On the wall and huffed but as soon as he did he got back up "You know what? I'll explain. How do I know of Equestria? Yes it is first hand knowledge however this physical body," he gets used to himself "Has never seen the likings of that land. This is actually a well kept seceret between Insanity lords. We all share one collective mind. That's right. One mind, many bodies. So my mind itself, which we will refer to as Bob, is like the changling hive mind. Bob controls all the bodies of Gods of insanity across the multi-verse. Making them insane but different form each other as disagreeing with his opinions as he makes them is insanity within itself. So as a collective mind all Bobs memories are stored together and mixed. So I get memories form Equus and Earth and many other planets."

        "So does that mean you can take us home?" Pinkie asked.

        "Sadly no. Only abiotic items can cross the inter-dimensional gap via my method. Anything that is or was alive will just go through a portal here and come through another one in the same dimension."

        Pinkie held her head low. Realizing she had gotten her friends stuck here. If she had listened to her Pinkie sense telling her to stop Twilight's experiment they wouldn't be stuck in this land. Pinkie was on the verge of tears, but before she could start weeping a voice called out for her.
