"It will cause the end of the universe as we know it," I finish reading to my assistant, "Well, that is quite unsettling, don't you agree Derpy?" I ask the grey pegasus sitting across from me. She was obviously not paying attention, looking up at the ceiling. He blonde mane was draping over her wings that outstretched. Derpy was a good assistant, but often wandered or was way too outgoing and very bubbly. Must be what her Cutie Mark stands for. I tap on the table to get her attention, "Uh, Derpy? Were you even listening?"

Her ears perk up and she looks back down at me, one eye focused and the other pointing to the side. She forces a smile and nods, "Y-yeah Doctor! I heard the whole thing!" She was not the best liar. Almost as transparent as air itself to be honest. "The whole, uh... Princess' thing and, uh, Discord?"

I chuckle a little bit and close the book, setting it down, "It's alright if you didn't. The gist is, that there is some great evil that will destroy the universe," I explain, shortening the description, "and that evil is going to return and a group of ponies are going to stop it. They will destroy the universe, but it will stop."

"That is... actually really unsettling," she says, scrunching her muzzle a little bit, "and knowing how this town works with cryptic books things..." I could feel where she was going with this. It would actually be surprising if something like this didn't happen soon. "Doctor, is Twilight and her friends going to destroy the universe?"

I couldn't help but laugh a little bit at this, "No, Derpy, I doubt they are going to destroy the universe."

"But, they always have to do the fate of the world thing!"

"True, true, but the book says no one knows who going to get the evil. It could be anyone!" I try to explain, trying to hide I do think it would be Twilight, "I mean, it could those little Crusader fillies, maybe some Changelings? For all I know, it could be you or me!" Deep inside, I think that is nowhere near accurate. That is, until I hear a knocking on the door. "Oh, pardon me Derpy." I excuse myself and go into the main room of the TARDIS and up to the door. I open and am greeted by a white unicorn wearing sunglasses and a saddle bag with a two tone blue mane. It was Vinyl Scratch! "Oh, hello Vinyl! What brings you around today?"

"Sup, Doc," she greets me, pulling something out of her saddle bag, "So you do actually live in this box? Cool. I think I got some of your mail earlier. Weird game thing or somethin'." The thing she gives me is two small envelopes, each with a very, very familiar symbol on it. "Oh yeah, is Ditzy here? I know you two hang out a lot, and I got some of hers, too. Man, someone needs to fire that mail pony."

I take the envelope and look back up at the DJ, "Oh, yes she is. Come in, come in!" I smile and step back to give her room to enter.

"Thanks, Doc," she says, stepping inside and looking around, "Woah... It's..." Ah, how I love this next part! "It's bigger on the inside. That's pretty cool." Well, it was something, but not as extravagant as I thought it would be. I lead her into the side room where Derpy was still sitting at the table, looking at the book. Vinyl trots over and sits at an extra chair and greets her. "Sup Ditzy. Got some of your mail." Like with me, she takes out another set of envelopes, with the exact same symbol on it.

Derpy smiles and takes the two packages, before gasping and looking at the book. "Oh my sweet Celestia! Doctor, look at this!" She calls me over and I look at the the symbols. I gasp seeing the sign on the envelopes are the exact same as on the book.

"Oh... Oh, no. This does not seem good."

This apparently catches Vinyls attention, "What? What doesn't seem good? Is something gonna explode? I wanna see something explode! Tell me already!"

"Um, well... This book has the same symbol as those envelopes, you see," I point to the book, "And this book sort of points out the end of the universe." I was trying to make the connection obvious.

"Oh. Well then..." she scratches behind her head and pulls out a number of envelopes with the same symbol on all of them. "We might have a problem then. I got some for me, Tavi, Lyra and Bon Bon along with you two."

Derpy's ears lower hearing this, as do mine. We were both decently taken by surprise at how many of us were given this. Not only that, but it also meant that the six of us were the ones to destroy the universe. I let out a sigh and open up one of the envelopes. What I pull out is a small computer disk with the symbol on it: a plain white house divided into six pieces. With this, there was a small piece of paper which I began to read aloud, "Greetings Player! This is your one-hundred percent authentic copy of SPONE, the frog based universe simulator!"

"Wait, wait, wait," Vinyle says, her horn glowing blue and raising her shades above it, "A frog-based universe simulator? The heck does that even mean?"

I shush the unicorn, "Quiet please, I am still reading. You and your companions will help in the creation of a brand new universe!" I pause and lower the paper, "Well, that certainly is something, isn't it? I spend my life defending the universe, now she wants me to make a new one. Fancy that!"

Vinyl tilts her head, "The universe is a chick? Always got a dude vibe from it."

"Well, she actually is, as you would call, a dude but prefers the female pronouns as she feels there was a mistake at her creation." I explain to the duo, only getting confused looks from both of them. At least, I assume so. Derpy's eyes always made emotion difficult to identify. "Anyways, back to the game. This game must be entered one at a time, in any order you prefer. Once inside, you shall embark on an adventure that decides the fate of existence itself! And that's where it ends."

Derpy now had her head on the table, looking decently scared of this. "No, no, no, no! I don't want to do that! I can't destroy and make a universe! I don't want to decide existence itself! Doctor, tell me there's a way out of this, please!"

"I'm sorry Derpy, but this seems pretty set-in-stone. This is the feeling I've had lately, a disturbance effecting time itself. And I feel as though this is it, and we are the ones responsible." I explain to her, before getting interrupted by another knocking. Two in one day. That is quite interesting. I excuse myself and go to the door again. I open and see a dark grey Earth Pony with a black mane, bowtie, and treble clef Cutie Mark. "Oh, greetings Miss Octavia! To what do I own the pleasure?"

"Hello Doctor," the Earth Pony greets with a smile, "I believe that my roommate Vinyl is here, correct? I require her assistance with something at home."

"Oh, yes, of course! Please, come in, I'll show you to her." I say, leading her inside and to the room with everyone else. The other two turn and Vinyl smiles, putting her shades back on and waving.

"Tavi!" Vinyl shouts, scooting her chair to the side so Octavia had space to sit, "what brings you to the big blue in woods?"

"Hello Vinyl, Miss Hooves. Vinyl, I do not want to be rude, but I require your assistance back home."

"Aw, Tavi. We're learning about how we're going to destroy the universe! Let me finish, please?"

"Wait, what?" Octavia asks, having a combined confused and interested look on her face, "Doctor, what does she mean? Are you talking about destroying the universe?"

"No," I respond, "Well, a little bit. We obtained some games that is to destroy and make a new universe. According to Miss Scratch, the ones that are taking place are myself, Derpy here, Vinyl, you, and-" I am interrupted by another knocking, causing me to leave and open it up again. I am met with a green Unicorn with a lyre Cutie Mark and a yellowish Earth Pony with a candy like Cutie Mark. If it isn't the remaining of our merry band of universe destroyers. "Lyra! Bon Bon! What brings you two out here?"

Bon Bon answers first, "Lyra here was interested in the fact you used to be a... I forget what she called them, but you had fingers. Whatever those are. She wouldn't shut up, and I am so sorry."

I laugh and look at Lyra, "Well, Miss Heartstrings, it is true. I did indeed have fingers at one point in my history. I have photographs if you wish to-" I was cut off by Lyra screeching and rushing in faster than a Pegasi breaking the sound barrier. Would that even be possible? Questions for later, right now there was a Unicorn running around my TARDIS.

Lyra was, as expected, freaking out over the sound of fingers. "Where, where, where, show me please! I gotta see! Let me see!" She started frantically looking around, darting between areas at a speed I don't even believe is possible by ponies. After a few moments of dashing around crazy she looks back at us and stops, with a slight embarrassed look on her face. "Uh, hehe, sorry Doctor. Just a little bit excited."

Bon Bon slaps herself in the face and walks in behind me. "I am so, so sorry, Doctor. She goes a little overboard sometimes."

"Oh, it's no problem Bon Bon! In fact, this is sort of a good thing. We were just talking about something and we kind of need you two for it. If you don't mind of course."

Lyra returns back to us and tilts her head hearing this, "Excuse me? Who was talking?"

"Me and Derpy, Vinyl and Octavia. Vinyle had something for all of us and it is of the utmost importance." I explain to the two of them, leading the duo into the room with everyone else. "Vinyle, everyone! Looks like the final two players have arrived." I go to sit down and look at the two, now looking completely confused.

"Alright," Bon Bon says out of nowhere, coming up to the table, "can someone tell me what's going on? Because, if we're going to do something, I would like to know what it is."

"Ah, rightio then," I respond, ready to go into full exposition mode, "What is happening is that Miss Scratch here has delivered a video hame that is going to destroy the universe and we have to play to make a new one, and possibly at the same time become gods. I feel inside we have no choice, and this is actually a very, very big deal. So, everybody understand and in?"

I look around the table and get a large assortment of pretty negative looks. Literally everyone seemed against it. All except for one. The DJ perks her head and gives a small, simple response. "Well, I ain't got anything going on. What the hay?"
