>>753906It's an hour past midnight. Everyone is fast asleep, save for Lukewarm who can't sleep. He meanders out of the bathroom and meanders again through moonlit palace corridors until he finds his way to the larder.
Stumbling onto a granite carved table Luke holds himself fast and raises his to see Business Luke raiding the larder for snacks.

An incredible half a minute of this passes as the Alt Lukes begin to lose hope of incapacitating Lukewarm. In quiet finality Lukewarm tears the bag off his face and they all stumble over eachother until catching themselves onto pieces of furniture
Somebody, maybe a guard, a person obscured by the night passes by the the other end of the corridor and calls over from his end "Is everything okay?"

>>753930Lukewarm breathes deeply from the rush of battle. He crouches to his knees looking for B Luke's gun instead finds a wristwatch. He recognizes it as the same clunky wristwatch his other alternate selves used to travel through time. An UgCorp brand painted on it
LukeWarm takes it and returns to his quarters. For the rest of the night he can't sleep and when morning finally arrives he decides to travel back into the past. To the very same fork in the road made by all his past selves.

LukeWarm looks around at an open an empty baseball field. He's landed in a dirt crater just some acres away from ponyville. He knows exactly where to go. So he begins running.
No.753937
>>753936As Luke runs the same thoughts replay in his head sped forward without room for anything else. If that calender was right then this is the day. I'm crying in the alley behind the hobby store. I ditched school and I'm highly impressionable. This is where everyone else went when they knew their timeline was botched. I can reset it. I CAN RESET IT
I want to have kids. I want to have a family some day. I want be a better person. I want to see Lavy again. I don't want things to end like this. I don't want this life! I'd rather die! I'D RATHER DIE!

>>753937After one acre Luke sees somebody. In the distance he's standing there ahead. It's another Lukewarm.
Luke dashes perpendicular, he plans to run around.
The Alt Luke keeps up intent on out pacing him.
Then again ahead of Luke is another Luke. So he turns back now hoping he can circle around. His instincts kick in and instead he runs east thinking he can outstrip the distance. Two more strange figures in the distance appear behind him and join the chase.
Lukewarm runs. He runs up to the dirt path leading to the fields between here and everfree. And there sees three more lukes appearing out of the corners of his eye and running toward him in three directions.
There's too much fencing between here and ponyville. The only opening is back to the baseball park. So he runs back.
He runs back and things begin to seem futile
No.753940
>>753938"No. No!" Lukewarm continues running as a gang of lukes close the distance behind him. A gun shot is heard.
a couple of strange Lukes are seen waiting by the boundary where Everfree begins and Lukewarm quickly slows down to make his turn. but it's too late.
A very tall and buff Luke tackles him into a dirt crater off from the baseball park.
"Noo! NOOOO! Stop! Get off me! Please! Get OFF NOOOO! Noooooo!" Tears roll out of Lukewarm's eyes. He thrashes and squirms. He becomes hysterical to a group of 13 Lukes emerging at the edge of the crater.

Business smiles. It might be the first time Lukewarm's seen him smile "Don't you get it kid. You're our will to live on!"

The First Luke steps back "AAAAALT-MEN!"
