...responses...
Gamelover41592: Thank you
Zoryan El Muerto: 1. Hence why I didn't care for the ending of Gravity Falls(I liked most of it just to be clear, just not the part where Mable gets what she wants at Dipper's expense) 2. Thank you.
RasenganFin: (shrug) Real life happens, what more can I say?
The Howling Behemoth: thank you
Guest: Thank you
Wicked.A: 1. Nope but I'll give you a hint: what type of creature is always around in Japanese anime when naked girls are near? 2. It's all good, also thank you.

LADIES AND GENTLEMAN!
WELCOME TO THE 'VILLAIN EXCHANGE PROGRAM'!
STARING YOUR HOST; SLENDERMAN!
Slenderman enters the room to thunderous applause from an audience...held at gunpoint.
"Thank you random, unseen announcer voice! Great job! As payment, your family will live to see tomorrow!" Slenderman waves as the announcer thanks him, he walks over to a large roulette wheel and a bunch of monitors center stage.
"Welcome Ladies and Gentleman to your favorite- or at least my latest favorite show I force you to watch anyway -show; VILLAIN EXCHANGE PROGRAM! The show where we randomly take a villain from a 'lighter and softer' universe and replace them with a 'darker and edgier' for my amusement!"
He activates a nearby monitor and shows a land filled with rainbows, talking ponies and magic. "Today's target is the 'magical' land of Equestria! A land of joy and love where everyone learns about and celebrates the magic of FRIENDSHIP- (somehow) points to his throat and retches -However, despite the sappiness it actually dose go on to be rather interesting...if a bit simplistic and naive at times. The now traditional end of season 'villain fight' of course being an all around favorite for most."
Slenderman (somehow) smirks to the audience, "That being said, I think we can do better."
He begins to click through a bunch of channels on many of the monitor, "Let's see- no, no, Bureau verse, no, no, MALE mane six verse, no, no, nope, world where Sunset becomes element of magic, no, nope, Flufflepuff verse- AH! Here we go! A universe that's in the middle of the first episode and about to see the return of Nightmare Moon! Or at least...that WAS what was going to happen."
Slenderman laughs as he walks to the big roulette wheel covered in villains and gives it a spin-
Meanwhile, the monitor show's the town hall meeting as Mayor Mare is about to introduce 'Celestia'.
"In just a few moments, our town will witness the magic of the sunrise, and celebrate this, the longest day of the year-
-The wheel slows down...
-And now, it is my great honor to introduce to you the ruler of our land, the very pony who gives us the sun and the moon each and every day-
-The wheel stops... Slenderman (somehow) smirks at where it lands, "Excellent choice."
-the good, the wise, the bringer of harmony to all of Equestria-
Slenderman snaps his fingers-
-Princess Celestia!"
And just like that...EVERYTHING changed.
...
Ruben Victoriano(AKA Ruvik)...was confused. This was not a feeling he was used to or even cared for. Somewhat understandable considering the last two times he was in a situation with no control lead with hi sisters horrific demise and his mind being ripped from his body.
But this..this was different, one moment he was trapped in STEM experimenting on 'subjects' as was the norm...and now...NOW HE WAS FREE! NOW HE WAS FLESH! For the first time in so long Ruvik could feel air in his lungs, wind on his face, the blood pumping through his heart...
And then Ruvik realized he was not alone. His first instinct was wondering if he was still in fact in the STEM...but no, it seemed he REALLY was surrounded by multi-colored equestrian-like creatures exhibiting signs of at least average human intelligence.
And...he could sense them! Their fears, their anxieties, their doubts, their wants, their cravings! Just like if he were still in STEM! In fact...yes...RUVIK could sense that despite no longer being in STEM...despite being flesh again...he still had his powers...in fact...if he was understanding things correctly...he might actually have MORE-
And then one of the creatures build up their courage and walked toward him. "Uh, excuse me? My good...sir?"(she says that last part uncertain) Mayor Mare like most of the ponies here was greatly scared of this newcomer, his appearance was unnerving enough as it was. But...his PRESENCE, his very existence, everything about him...it just felt WRONG. And the way he was looking at all of them...it was like...looking into TARTERUS itself...except somehow WORSE!
"Uh...do you think you could...tell us who you are? More importantly...have you seen our Princess?"
Ruvik says nothing, eager to test his new 'limits' in this strange new reality he immediately teleports to her in the blink of an eye. Before the poor pony can respond, Ruvik creates a blade out of thin air and slices of her head.
There was a stunned silence as the head of their beloved Mayor rolled down the steps, spraying some with blood as it did. The ponies...so used to their PG rated world...just stood baffled, the very concept of what just happened...almost impossible to comprehend.
Twilight, was the first to come to her senses-
RUN FOR YOUR EVER-LOVING LIVES!
The ponies didn't need to be told twice...
Ruvik smiles as the ponies begin to panic and run. He understood now...not only was he no longer a prisoner of STEM...he WAS STEM. All of his reality shaping powers...he could now do for REAL...
Twilight Sparkle meanwhile; "WHAT THE BUCK JUST HAPPENED HERE!?"
...
"Well, that escalated fast! ...which just happens to be my favorite type of escalation!" He then turns back to the audience, "And yes, I did give Ruvik his body back and allow him to retain the powers he held in STEM...plus a few upgrades. A bit OP I know, I guess I could have just given him ONLY a physical body and let him slink away to make mischief another day...but where's the fun in that?"
"Besides, no big bad boss fight the first episode means no friendship quest for Twilight Sparkle! Not to mention no Mane six! And we can't have that can we?"
Then Slenderman turns to another monitor, "But enough about that! Let's take a look at nightmare Moon and see how she's 'adapting to her new surroundings."
...
"What the devil!?" Shouts Nightmare Moon as she looks around the hellish landscape she suddenly found herself in...
...
The administrator looked at the screen baffled, "What...what am I looking at here?"
Doctor Marcelo Jimenez was equally baffled as he stared at the readout for the Beacon Mental Hospital STEM. "I...I have no idea! But Ruvik...Ruvik is gone! There's not a trace of him! Even his brain is missing!"
"Wait, how is the STEM still functioning then? Without the CORE it should be collapsing, shouldn't it?" Asked the Administrator trying to cover up his fear of Ruvik being on the loose.
"I...I don't know how it happened...but that...THING- points to Nightmare Moon on the monitor -is now the new CORE!"
The administrator frowned, "The STEM...switched to a new CORE on it's on? How is that possible?!"
"IT'S NOT! For all intents and purposes there is no way for ANYTHING to switch the program to a new CORE without collapsing the STEM instantly. They would LITERALLY need to start a new STEM from scratch to even get started! WORSE, it seems like we have no control of this new CORE whatsoever!"
The administrator frowns at that, "But...it DID happen...so what dose that mean?" This was starting to become a huge mess, his superiors would NOT be happy about this...
Doctor Marcelo Jimenez just looked at the screen confused to an equally confused corrupted pony princess, "I...I don't know..."
...
"But I know! Coming up next episode! Were going to slow down and sit down two trickster demons for a chat! He'll break your heart, rearrange your face and make you buy gold: BILL CIPHER! Then- what is he? A dragon? A chicken? A goat? A lion? Whatever! It's DISCORD! All this- including a 'fig leaf excuse' to put this under the Gravity Falls crossover category -and more coming up next time!...and now a word from our sponsor."
...
Hello friend, how many times has this happened to you?
(switches to scene of morbidly obese fat guy doing things at the computer and begins to read que cards off-screen in a monotone voice.)
"Uh...what is this frak? You made a fanfiction crossover...but you made all the crossover characters...boing?(click) BORING! I meant boring!

Guy has his head blown off...and is then replaced by a small skinny guy. "Oh! Uh...there must be a better way?" He asks in a frightful manner.
