“…and that about raps up our story” I said, all of the kids and the alternate me were gathered around a campfire as I told the story I had told countless times before, omitting certain parts of course “so, Vuur Koningin, what about you?” my female equivalent thought for a moment

“I arrived on this world about…hmm…4 years ago” she said “I never agreed with how Celestia runs this country, so I went into hiding, trying to take her down the shadows” she then giggled.

“What?” I asked.

“I find it funny, on this world, Autumn is my arch rival”

“Really!?” I asked.

“Yeah, no offence, Autumn” She said “but on this world, you’re a bit of a jerk”

“None taken” Autumn said, holding Summer Skies as the filly slept. Vuur smiled when she saw Summer Skies.

“I always wanted a kid” she said “but that’s not an option at the moment”

“Well” I said “you could always come with us, get away from this hell hole”

“What about Celestia?” she asked.

“We have our own Alicorn on the ship” I said “and considering we were taken to the rainbow factory, a place that existed about 1000 years ago back on our Terra, I think it’s safe to say that they won’t be best pleased with Queen Celestia” she thought for a moment before saying.

“I’ll sleep on the matter” she said “you’ll get your answer in the morning”

*the next morning*

I woke up feeling cold, right, I was in the throne room of an old castle, so of course it would be bloody cold. I looked around to see all of the kids huddled around us, they’d gotten all the blankets. I carefully took my arms from around Sunny Skies, at which point she snuggled against Autumn. I stood up and carefully walked across the throne room, making sure not to step on any of the kids. I found the other me standing outside, looking into the forest.

“Morning” I said, walking over “bloody hell, it’s cold”

“Morning” she replied “after all these years of living in the forest, I don’t feel the cold anymore”

“Did you find any allies?” I asked.

“Yes” she said “as a matter of fact, I did, come on, I’ll show you” she then took my hand and began pulling me across the bridge .

“Bloody hell!” I exclaimed “c-could you slow down?”

“No time” she said, dragging me through the forest “one of them doesn’t do well in sunlight”

“Who doesn’t?” I asked, as branches whipped at my mask.

“You’ll find out soon enough” she said.

‘okaaaay, definitely isn’t that used to contact from another person’ I thought ‘this could be interesting’ she soon led me to a clearing.

“Well?” I asked “care to explain why you’ve just dragged me halfway through the Everfree?”

“Shh” she said, crouching down and slowly walking towards the edge of the clearing, she suddenly got out her staff and chucked it away “come on out, I want you to meet a friend of mine”

“Who, me?” I asked, only for her to shush me. After a few moments a small Scorpius, the scorpion equivalent of an Ursa Minor scuttled out, it was about 6ft high at the stinger. She slowly gestured for me to approach.

“No sudden movements” she said “else she’ll get scared” once I was close enough she grabbed my hand and gently placed it on the head area of the Scorpius, which began to chirp and curl up its stinger.

“That’s so cool” I said.

“She likes you” Vuur Koningin said, giggling, at that moment more forest creatures started to appear. A pride of Manticores, a pack of timberwolves, you name it, it was there, she started to fuss a manticore “you watch over the ponies of your world, I watch over the forest folk. I can speak all of their languages”

“They have languages?” I asked, to which she nodded.

“Vuur” a deep, female voice said “why have you brought this…outsider here?” I saw a pair of red eyes and went to get my sword out, only for my mirror self to stop me by holding my arms.

“I know who you think it is, but just give her a chance” she said, looking straight into my eyes before turning and bowing “Teridax, this is a version of myself, from another universe” the eyes shifted towards me

“Why is…he…here?” she asked.

“Not through any fault of my own, Makuta” I spat. I heard thudding footsteps and a female version of Teridax stepped out of the trees, she was about 20ft tall, and a lot more slender then the male Teridax, her armour was also made of wood and practically rotting away “damn, you did not age well” she lunged forward and pinned me down by my throat

“HOLD YOUR TONGUE, MORTAL!” she boomed, causing the animals to scatter “I might not be trying to rule the universe, but I can still destroy you”

“I find that hard to believe” I said through gritted teeth “how do I know you aren’t using some kind of mind control to keep the copy in check?”

“Hey!” The other me said “I am not some pawn”

“Really?” I asked “because I’ve been chasing another Teridax across half the fucking solar system, he’s why I’m stuck on this parody of Equestria” Teridax pulled her arm away from me and stepped back.

“That sounds like something a male version of me would do, why directly face your problems when you can simply make them disappear?” she said “you have ten minutes to explain properly why you’re here” I stood up and began to explain everything, the different universes merging, the male Teridax, my team’s quest, the Rainbow Factory, absolutely everything.

“If you are truly good” I said to Teridax “you’ll help us” she thought for a moment.

“On multiple conditions” she said.

“Go on” I said.

“New armour” Teridax said, I nodded “and once when we find Teridax, he’s mine. He should realise that there are more important things than taking over the universe”

“What about the forest folk?” Vuur Koningin asked “we can’t just leave them here”

“Would you rather I absorbed them all?” Teridax asked, raising an eyebrow, Vuur Koningin hastily shook her head “well then, let’s get a move on”

---

We were now back at the castle.

“So” Minion said “to sum up, we now have a mirrorverse Teridax on our side”

“That’s paraphrasing” I said “but in essence, yes”

“I still don’t trust her” Autumn said.

“Hello!” I said “Melding-Teridax ring any bells”

“You met the Melding version of Teridax?” Vuur Koningin asked.

“Yes” I said “and it’s a he”

“Well” an all too familiar voice said “that depends on the point of view”

“Took you long enough, Discord” I said, crossing my arms. Discord poked his head out from behind Teridax.

“Sorry” he said, walking into view “you have no idea how hard it was to trace the spell your drinks were laced with”

“Go on” I said.

“Quite clever actually” he said “it transported you to this world via several other worlds, making you really hard to trace, which Terra is this?”

“Celestia is a tyrant” I said “let just leave it at that and get the heck out of here, can you do that?”

“All of that teleporting I’ve just done has taken quite a large chunk of my reserves” he said “not all of the world are as rich in magic as Terra” I sighed.

“Will you be able to get us all to the Jörmungandr or not?” I asked.

“No” he said “but I’ll be able to get us all to the closest planet, bear in mind I’ll be out of magic for some time afterwards”

“*sigh* it’s better than nothing” I said “do it” Discord looked at the kids and hummed in thought before clicking his fingers, next thing I knew we were all on a rollercoaster and a winding rollercoaster track had suddenly materialised in front of us. I was at the front sat next to Discord, I looked back to see Teridax sitting at the back next to my double, being forced to squat under the safety bar and quite frankly, looking ridiculous.

“What in the name of Karzahni is this?” Teridax asked.

“Please remain seated, keep your arms and legs inside the vehicle at all times” a voice said, as Discord put on a pair of WW2 pilots goggles. My eyes reduced to pinpricks as I looked ahead.

“Uh oh” I said, as the carriages shot forward. It did loops and barrel rolls as the kids squealed with joy. After a few seconds it screeched to a halt next to a booth.

“Welcome to Chaotic burger, how can I help you?” a voice said from the booth.

“Chaotic burger?” Discord offered.

“Nah, I’m good” I said, and with that, the ride resumed its course of madness. After a few more moments it shot through a portal and stopped in a dark and dirty alley on the other side. We all climbed out, except for Teridax, who was shaking like a leaf and gripping the safety bar so hard it was now bent.

“That…was worse than anything Karzahni herself could conjure up” Teridax said, before shakily climbing out. Discord shrugged before snapping his fingers and causing the rollercoaster to vanish with a flash, I motioned for the others to keep quiet and stay put before slowly walking towards the end of the alley. I could hear voices in the streets

“Rechts, zwei, drei, vier. Rechts, zwei, drei, vier” I could see what looked like soldiers in some kind of angular armour patrolling, what stood out most was the blaring Swastika on their shoulders.

“Fucking great” I muttered, before quickly retreating. Minion noticed the look on my face.

“How bad?” he asked.

“Very” I squeaked out, leaning against the wall and sliding down it, ignoring the soot that got smeared onto my armour. Minion slowly walked to the end before retreating and sitting next to me.

“Oh all the places” he said, looking as hopeless as I did “we had to end up in an alternate world where the Nazi’s rule the world” Discord looked sheepish.

“Heh, my bad” he said.

“Don’t” I said, hanging my head “just…don’t”

“I’m confused” Sunny Skies said “why are you so sad?” I gestured for the kids to gather around and for Sunny to sit with me.

“A long time ago, on my world” I said “there was a large war, so large that they called it the First World War. One country lost and one person from that country wasn’t happy with that, long story short. He rose to power and ended up starting a group that eventually hurt a lot of innocent people and caused another World War. We are currently…*sigh* we’re stuck on a world where they won that war” the kids gasped.

“You’re kidding, right?” Vuur Koningin asked, I shoot my head “what are we going to do?”

“How long until you have your magic back?” I asked Discord.

“A few days” he said, I turned to Teridax.

“How good are you at concealing groups?” I asked, looking at the group of five or so kids.

“I’ll take care of the kids and Vuur” she said “you’ll have to take care of yourselves” I nodded.

“We can do that” I said, before turning to Discord “Think you can tick off the 3rd Reich for us?”

“I’ll do my best” he said, saluting me.

“Then let’s do this” I said.

*POV 3rd person*

Discord walked into the streets dressed in a dress and stepped in front of a patrol, causing them to stop and look at him in shock. Their leader pointed a pistol at the Draconequiis.

“[So]” Discord said in German “[I was at a gay, Jewish, Gypsy Bar-Mitzvah for disabled, black, cross-dressers when I thought ‘*hmm* the Third Reich’s a bit rubbish, I think I’ll kill the Führer’]"
