Broken World

Forge sat on the damaged throne in Canterlot, looking around at the frozen ponies that once lived in the corrupt world. He sighed before standing up and teleporting to a large open field, looking around at the blood red clouds and scattered tears in reality. He began walking, thinking and planning.

He suddenly stopped, feeling a familiar presence in the air, two familiar presences actually. Turning around he saw them standing there, a Nightmare Fuel and Xram side by side, the Nightmare however seeming to be further up in the ranks as this ones power looked above that if the Xram copy beside him. "Well well well, look who came to visit little old me, a Slenderman ripoff and Jack Skellington."

Xram glared at him while Nightmare just snorted in amusement. "Pretty big talk coming from a recolour of Symbol Shattered."

"Well looks like a little Nightmare knows how to make a decent comeback line, what about you Pumpkin King? You got anything to say?" Forge mocked with amusement.

"Quiet Forge, there is no time for jokes."

Forge just smirked and turned away. "If you didn't notice shit-for-brains time has no meaning here! Nothing ends and nothing begins, it's just stuck in one moment until all the pieces are put together again."

Xram remained quiet and Nightmare stepped forward. "Let's get down to business shall we? We didn't come here just to insult each other, we all have a serious problem on our hands."

"You mean you have a problem on your hands, things are going swimmingly for me here, my plan is going perfectly, I can train to my nonexsitent hearts content and I can manipulate my brothers pathetic displaced even from here. So I'm not the one with a problem, and I'm not about to listen to a worthless parasite and a demon fragment who have both tried to kill me in the past." Forge shook his head and turned his head to look at them over his shoulder."Give me one good reason why I should even bother listening to you two and not just kill you now and steal your power?"

Xram stepped forward, raised a hand and summoned a magic screen, showing a shadowed figure. "There is someone messing with our timelines, making the past the preset and the present the future. We cannot take credit for this, as there now seems to be more threats to all three of us."

Forge just looked at the figure in the picture before tilting his head. "He doesn't look so threatening."

"Looks can be deceiving, this newcomer could be a serious problem to us, so much that The Nightmare King and True Xram have seeked the help of a third Black Plain Wonderer, as well as creating newer, stronger minions."

"I take it that's why she exists?" Forge guess while pointing to a young figure behind Nightmare.

"She is a backup in case things get out of hand, if The Nightmare King and True Xram fall there needs to be someone to take their place. This young one, the Nightmare Princess Zerlinda, will be the key to killing Symbol Shattered. Starting by destroying everything he knows and loves, starting with his son Symph Shattered." Nightmare said as he stepped in front of the young girl behind him while blocking Forge from seeing her.

"Let me guess, 'She was different from all the other drones that came from The Nigjtmare Kings breeding sows.' Has anyone told the King that he is seriously fucked in the head?" Forge said with disgust. "He could at least be decent with how he does things, most of the crap your leaders pull is just downright disgusting." He pointed to Xram. "You with the way you torture your victims!" He then turned to Nightmare. "And you with how you do things, I mean possessing fucking children!? That is low, even by your standards."

"Since when do you care about what we do? You're evil just like us."

Forge just glared at them both with a mighty rage. "I, am NOT, EVIL!!! I merely do what I want when I want to, I have no reason to bring suffering upon others. Except for my brother..." He clenched his fist and the world around them darkened. He held up his fist slightly and it began burning with blood red fire while red mist began seeping from the corner of his right eye that was now glowing orange. "He robbed me of my body, forced me into the void. I was labelled an 'accident' by that accursed woman Vivi and Author, only soaring my life out of pity. Symbol cost me my very reason for being, threw me out of my own body. Well I don't want my body back anymore, all I want is for Symbol to pay, I want nothing more than to hear his screams of agony and despair as I crush everything he holds dear and dies of a slow painful death. I wish this fate on no others, only him."

Xram just laughed. "You'll never get the chance Forge, Symbols life is mine to take, you can't deny anything about that, you're trapped in this Broken World."

Nightmare just glared at Xram. "The death of Shttered will be by the hand of The Nightmare King, you will not think otherwise Xram."

Forge just summoned two large fireballs and his eyes glowed. "Why don't I make this simpler...and kill both of you right now?!" He threw his arms forward and blasted the two demons.

They recovered and jumped backwards while taking fighting stances. "Princess Zerlinda, please leave this world while I deal with these pests." The girl just nodded and disappeared.

Xram just looked to Nightmare with an unamused stare. "So you're betraying me now are you?"

"This conflict not between The Nightmare King and True Xram, it is merely us that have something to settle."

"You make it sound like you're your own being, like I'm my own being, but that's not the case." Xram growled and summoned a large scythe. "Enough of this foolishness. Let us begin."

Forge just smiled like a maniac and chuckled. "Just to let you know...neither of you are leaving here alive, my power surpasses both of you combined. Say goodbye to your pathetic existence."

Author's Notes:

Well, looks like these three have found something to keep themselves busy

Now what about Zerlinda, I have plans for her, very important plans indeed.
