So~ guess who's back? This girl! and after seeing the poll, more people wanted to see Twisted timelines so, that's what I've done. please enjoy the sequel to Ponyville Ninjas, Twisted Timelines!

Starlight rolled her eyes at Twilight as she fired a beam of cyan at the alicorn, who just about ducked out of the way, Spike clinging fearfully to her back. "You just don't give up, do you?"

Twilight grit her teeth. Every time she tried to stop Starlight, things only seemed to get worse. Starlight could easily counter every spell she pulled, trying to stop Rainbow dash from performing the rainboom. There had to be something she could do… But Starlight had been practising her magic… what could Twilight do that Starlight could not? That's when she remembered, could she do it? Perhaps. It was worth a shot.

The unicorn smirked, believing she had outperformed her opponent. She turned around and began to glide over to the rainbow filly, who was tearing through the air, a looked of satisfaction on her face.

"what do we do Twilight?" Spike whispered.

"I have an idea." She Inhaled deeply and spread her wings wide open, ready for take-off. "Hold on tight." Spike gripped his friend tighter as she shot off after Starlight, and slammed straight into her, knocking the unicorn off course, but in the process, sending Rainbow Dash into a tailspin, sending her hurtling towards the ground far below.

Twilight didn't notice this however. She was angry. Angry at what Starlight had done. In this timeline. In all the timelines… and aimed a kick, straight for Starlight's face. A satisfying thud echoed throughout the sky, as everypony turned, to look at the alicorn, assaulting a unicorn, a seemingly innocent unicorn, cowering in fear.

Starlight laughed, "I didn't expect a princess to stoop so low…" A portal opened up above Twilight. She growled in frustration, trying to cling onto something, or even drag Starlight with her, but to no avail. She was sucked through…

Twilight moaned as she was spat out onto the paved street, followed suit by Spike. "great…" She sighed, standing up and looking about, "now wh-whaat?" She stuttered as she looked about the streets of Ponyville. Ordinary, plain… if not, slightly more modern.

"Uh Twilight?" Spike said quietly, pointing at something. The alicorn looked around, eyes widening in shock. The library. Perfectly intact, perfectly fine. It was as if Tirek had never attacked.

"this can't be right…" She mumbled, stumbling towards her home, stopping at the door to read the sign nailed on it.

'opening hours:

Monday-Friday: 7:00-22:00

Saturday: 9:00-21:00

If no one is in during these times, please come back later, thanks.'

"strange…" she said before pushing the door open. And stared. There, she saw one of the least expected ponies, cataloguing all the books. A snow white Pegasus with a military styled silvery blonde mane and tail… with a snowflake as his cutie mark… "Zane?" Twilight mumbled in shock, "ZANE?!"

The stallion looked around, startled and dropped his book, "Princess…" he gasped, sinking into a deep bow, "I did not think that…"

"that… what? Is something wrong? How is the library still in one piece? Why are you in here? How are you in here?" Twilight paused awkwardly, rubbing her hoof, "please, don't do that…"

"yeah, she isn't keen on her princess title…" Spike added.

Zane stood back up, "No… I do not think so… well, perhaps." He glided over to the alicorn and gave her a quick scan, "Miss Sparkle, I must ask, how have you gained these wings, if you never performed the spell in this place? And what is this strange aura radiating off you?"

"What do you mean?" She said, taken aback, "of course I…" she trailed off, remembering this wasn't her own timeline, "oh… Zane… It's complicated."

The stallion tilted his head, perplexed, "how do you know my name? I do believe we have never met."

Twilight swallowed, "well, the thing is, we have. Just in a different timeline."

Zane chuckled slightly and shook his head, "do not joke Miss Sparkle, I was unaware of this strange sense of humour."

The princess of friendship sighed, "how do you know who I am if you say we have never met?"

Zane sighed, "well, considering you seemingly know me, I can tell you without worry…" There was a click and Zane reached for his chest panel, and opened it. The dragon and the unicorn gasped, unaware of Zane's capability to do this.

"h-how?!" Spike exclaimed, hiding behind Twilight's hind legs.

The stallion sighed, a deep exasperated sigh, "I am an android, my friend… do not be afraid. I have no intentions to harm you. In answer to your question Miss, I am able to extract information from the internet and, well, this is how I know you. But I know you and I are not the same, so… how do you know me?"

Twilight swallowed, "I-I told you, we met in another timeline. Listen, I was fighting a mare named Starlight Glimmer and she did something to the timeline… and now…" she paused, "you are here…"

"What about Ninjago?" Spike said, finally. Zane flinched.

"I am unaware of its current state…" He said sorrowfully, "The mirror was broken, from our side, while we were battling Discord… and… we had to find a permanent place in this world." He smiled, "it is intriguing, definitely, to find more about Equestrian culture, just not from Sensei…" His ears perked up, "you know of home?"

"Only what you told us…" Twilight said sheepishly, seeing Zane's ears droop, "sorry…"

"It is not a problem my friend, not at all. In fact-"

A loud crash came from outside shortly followed by a knock at the door.

"Oh dear… excuse me for a moment," he flew over to the door and opened it, an indigo unicorn falling through it onto the floor, before getting up and slamming the door shut, barring it with her arms.

"Reena?" Spike whispered.

"What have you done now?" Zane said flatly.

Reena grabbed him by the shoulders and shook him violently, "you gotta help me man! Jay… it- GAH!" Reena fell backwards, clutching at what was now apparent to be a black collar around her throat as she convulsed in pain.

Twilight and Spike raced over to her, but Zane held them back with an outstretched wing. "careful." He briefly examined the collar before freezing it and whispering, "stay still," to the pony before slamming his hoof onto it, causing the collar to shatter.

She gasped, her green eyes widening as she felt her neck, "th-thanks…" she muttered only just realising there were two others staring at her. She scowled, clearly not recognising them, "What the hell are you looking at?"

"Show them some respect Reena," Zane sighed, helping the unicorn to stand, "one of these two is a princess. Now, any other reason you came?"

"mmhmm." The mare said, not particularly bothered by Zane's words and instead examining Twilight's wings, "well… No. Not particularly. Except for the fact Jay invited you over to celebrate his new project and one of the ponies who volunteered to help test it is in hospital again."

The white Pegasus scowled, "and who might this pony be?"

"Rainbow Dash." The alicorn's heart skipped a beat.

Zane's scowl deepened, "of course." He nodded to Twilight and Spike before turning back to Reena, "this is Miss Twilight Sparkle and this is… Spike." He said, the two waved at Reena, and he left.

The unicorn frowned at them both, before sitting down on the floor. Twilight did the same, and said experimentally, knowing how strange Reena was, "do you remember me?"

"No." She replied flatly, "should I?"

Twilight sighed, "I doubt so…" She considered for a moment, using the spell to send Spike and her back to the rainboom… but she wanted to learn more of this Equestria first.
