Twilight skimmed through the books of the Canterlot library, desperately searching for something that wasn’t Tambelonian propaganda. And then it hit her again. A massive headache, with flashes of another life, another world. A world where Grogar fell. And now it was up to her to restore it.

Two books sat side by side on a shelf, one, a yellow book with a sun, the other, a dark blue book with a moon. There was no title on either one. Twilight’s magic aura surrounded both, and tried to pull them out. They stopped partway, and the shelf slid to the side, revealing a secret entrance to... a library?

“Of course,” Twilight thought to herself, “Grogar would never have found out about the forbidden section.” Twilight’s train of thought suddenly crashed into a rock. “Wait. How did I know about this? And why did those two books have the cutie marks of Daybreaker and Nightmare Moon?” Her train of thought was then picked up by a roc, and placed back on the tracks. Twilight slowly stepped in.

Twilight’s horn lit up, revealing rows upon rows of old, dusty books. Twilight trotted over to the ones that seemed the oldest. One book’s title read “Gusty the Great and the Fall of Tambelon”.

“That’s weird,” Twilight mumbled to herself. “Tambelon hasn’t fallen yet, and Gusty the Great never stole the Bewitching Bell, locking it away behind a magical barrier on Mount Everhoof.” Twilight pondered the words that came out of her mouth. “How do I know this just by looking at the title?” The lavender unicorn turned back to look at the center of the room. On the table, lay a letter which seemed ancient.

If you want answers, go to Ponyville.

Ponyville was a deserted town. The moment Discord arrived, everypony fled to the far corners of Equestria. Buildings were turned upside down, cotton candy clouds rained chocolate milk down below, and the buffalo from Appleloosa who tried to liberate Ponyville were now dancing in tu-tus.

Suddenly, a loud burst of confetti exploded behind Twilight. The lavender unicorn turned to face a pink earth pony with a strangely poofy mane. There seemed to be a cannon sticking out from the mare’s tail. “Hi, Twilight! Discord turned evil again and took over Ponyville so I asked him to make it rain chocolate but he started singing about school books and babies dying and something about sin and pain and then this one time the sun and the moon were fighting in the sky and Discord was eating popcorn so I asked him for some...”

“Uh... who are you?” Twilight tried to say.

“... but he refused to let me have some and told me to stay away and called me a strange insane pink pony and all of our friends are missing and now I don’t know if I’m even in my own universe!” The pink pony inhaled after the last word.

“Okay...?” Twilight was completely confused by the strange pink pony that somehow knew her name. “Um, how do you know me?”

“I threw you a party when you first came to Ponyville, silly,” Pinkie replied. "We're also the bestest of friends, and Elements of Harmony! You're Magic, and I'm Laughter!" Pinkie pulled the party cannon out of her tail, and completely broke the canon. The Party Cannon Mark 84 shot a giant confetti ball so large it knocked a buffalo unconscious. “Oops, my bad!” Pinkie shouted.

Pinkie and Twilight sat opposite of each other within the crystal castle which appeared in Ponyville overnight. Another headache struck Twilight, followed by a flash of memory. A party, in a library inside a tree. Pinkie Pie laughing at more trees. Six stones shattered by Nightmare Moon. Completing a spell by Starswirl the Bearded. Being sent to another dimension- wait what? Twilight’s consciousness returned to the castle, but only for a moment, as Twilight herself disappeared into another dimension.

NightFlame and Revenant were busy playing a game of Star Wars Monopoly. A purple ball of magic appeared above the table, and it landed on the board game, destroying it.

“That cost money!” Revenant shouted. Revenant held his hand above the board, and all the pieces pieced themselves back together, and floated into the board. "Fixed enough."

“What the heck?” NightFlame exclaimed. The magic dissipated, revealing Twilight Sparkle, but now with wings. “Ohh, that was supposed to happen.” Twilight now had just as many questions as when the first flash of memory hit her.

“Who am I? Why am I? What am I?” Twilight rattled off question after question. “Who are you? Who is he? What are the memories I have?”

“You know what? I’m leaving.” Revenant stood up, picked up the pieces of his board game, and teleported away.

“Uh...” NightFlame pulled a book out of thin air, and began flipping through it. “Aha! I’m supposed to snap my fingers and turn you into an alicorn! Thank Lord Arkoos I keep story outlines everywhere!” NightFlame quickly closed the book, and snapped his fingers. Twilight was again surrounded by a ball of purple magic, and the ball of magic disappeared.

Twilight reappeared in the Castle of Friendship, but now the full package, with wings.

“Hey! Your wings are back!” Pinkie shouted enthusiastically, setting off a party landmine (is there like a party army surplus store somewhere?). "You're a princess again!

Twilight greeted the pink pony. “Hi, Pinkie.”

“Yay! You remember me!” Pinkie started bouncing up and down and all around, and crashed through the ceiling. Bits and pieces of the ceiling rained down onto the ground. Twilight poked her out the window, and saw a pink streaked comet racing towards the Everfree Forest. Another note appeared, this time right above Twilight’s head. Twilight pulled it down, and read:

Nightmare Moon is, and always is, your first test. She usually is in Canterlot, guarded by the demon known as Rusty Armor, except for one day every year, where she goes to the Everfree Forest. Arise, warrior. The battle has only just begun. It's time to break free.

Twilight rolled up the letter, and ran after Pinkie Pie.

Twilight appeared in the middle of an empty room. NightFlame stood in the center.

"Pete's Pizza and Abortion Clinic, where yesterday's loss is today's sauce." NightFlame held up a pepperoni pizza.

"What the hay?"

"Uh, let me rewind that real quick." NightFlame snapped his fingers, and suddenly, he was playing Star Wars Monopoly against Vilgate2.

*static noises*

Another note appeared, this time right above Twilight's head. The note clattered to the ground, and clipped through it. NightFlame teleported into the room.

"Whoops, my bad. I'll fix it." NightFlame snapped his fingers, and time rewinded. The note clattered to the ground. The note opened, revealed to be a page from a book.

The portal opened above a grassy field. Luke tumbled out into a rock. Luke picked up his walkie-talkie. “I think I time travelled too far.”

“Backwards or forwards?” asked NightFlame. Luke looked around at his surroundings. He noticed a velociraptor staring at him from the other side of the rock.

“Definitely backwards,” Luke replied. The velociraptor pulled out a gun, and started shooting at the rock. “Forwards! Possibly sideways!”

The rest of the page was too hard to make out, due to being partially burnt. NightFlame once again teleported in. "Hold on, wrong one." NightFlame opened a glowing locker which was not there a few moments ago. He snapped his fingers, and time turned backwards.

Author's Notes:

Welp, Pinkie broke the canon. Not the cannon, the canon.
Unlike the previous stories, this one is more of a Project Manhattan than an Operation Barbarossa (quality over speed.)
