Twilight Sparkle is Dead.
Her friends decide this isn't an acceptable state of affairs and vow to change it.
They really should have compared notes first.

Amazing I love this
A surprisingly fun story :)
Twilight's lucky Fate loves her so much.
Oh good now Twilight has multiple personalities that are all identical and a robot duplicate! Won't be confusing at all and no one will face the horror of quad stereo Twilecture.
Huh. That was my second guess. Admittedly I was expecting them to end up with multiple identical clones (as in, not all warped or insane or day-of-the-Pinkie, but just having a bunch of them) instead, but having the multiple resurrection attempts sabotage the others was funny.
Strange to think that the farmer and the jock had the best out of all of them, or would have, if the others hadn't intervened. Really, the animated sack of fur would have been a fully functional Twilight if Rarity hadn't taken all the bones. Perhaps this should be noted for next time.
I wonder if we can get an alternate ending where none of the attempts "went horribly right" and they now simply have several identical Twilights in full control of their faculties (and with no dripping, oozing, ectoplasm, or shambling) ... right before Luna, Dash, and Celestia decide that they can ALL have Twilight as their squeeze (perhaps more literal, in Dash's case)? That would be another fun way to take the story, since it wouldn't quite be the resurrection that failed, but instead a sudden spate of confessions. :D
I also wonder about Rarity here. I get this faint impression (I have no idea why ) that Rares is a bit of a perv. Or something like that. :D
Unexpectedly good, and funny too.
Ok, I want to see a sequel.

A story needs to be told with that idea!
Ah, the Twilight Sparkle dies and/or kills everypony sub-genre. Never gets old.

I agree, but I don't think I'd be able to do it justice. I tend to think more along the lines of "How can this be made even more overpowered" and not very well for things that need laugh-a-minute. This might be another reason why my story is on hold.
I wonder which one will accept Rainbow's advanced, if any.
Absolutely hilarious though.
Oh dear. Now we have a necro-chronal paradox generated. I suppose this will prove if you really can have a ghost in the machine...
Now for the sequel where "Robo-Twilight" and "Tri-light" battle to near death until they also fuse into "Robo-Tri-light Cyborg Alicorn™".
Now, why do I feel like we're going to be seeing this universe again in the future. It probably fits in the SoTS multiverse (certain it does). Now, would it be picked up by sparkle census or the MU? It would be silly for the league to pop through and see a completely normal universe except it has a twilight with slight DID, and a robot twilight doing all the paperwork.
nice Frankenstein’s monster reference, xD
i’m sure the other’s ideas are movies too somehow,
what made you decide to recombine twilight?
great use of starlight, she knows a full nights sleep is step one in dealing with ponyville bullshit.

Part of the original commission request.
-GM, master of purple smart.
And another for Jenny and the wimp!
This would be hilarious for The League of Sweetie Belles, honestly.
Half imagined this would've pulled an End Game; taking that Twilight directly before she decides to chow down on pancake death, and instead of returning her to her original timeline, just keep her and doom that version of Equestria.
Bam, problem solved. Eh, kinda/sorta.
Either way, glad it went the way it did instead. Found it hilarious, especially with Ghostlight. Loved Ghostlight.
Hands down my favorite sentence in this.
Well this was epic.
I'm pretty sure, given the light of morning, Twilight and robo-Twilight will view this as an advantage. They just need to write a schedule on which one of them gets to do what duties, and their golden!
Why didn't Starlight just tell everyone who kept breaking into the castle not to bother with necromancy or mad science since she had it handled?
9648021
She was only aware of RD and AJ, and she didn't want to have to explain a complex scientific process to a couple of drunk idiots. (Also she had no idea they were actually trying to do necromancy, far as she knew the drunk idiots were stealing the body for some other, equally stupid reason, like making a pillow.)
-GM, master of yes there's actually an answer, surprisingly.
9648023
Oh, that makes sense.
Still, she could have assured everyone she was working on it so not to be sad. Did they even need to have a funeral at all?
9648028
There WAS a chance it didn't work. Or Went Horribly Wrong.
-GM, master of rules.
9648031
Right, gotta hedge your bets.
Seapony tears and provolone, god help the outcast with her witchcraft, someday I’m gonna go home
And to my adversary Tirek, who has been nothing but a thorn in my side when he wasn't blowing up my house, I leave... a boot to the head.
And one for Jenny and the wimp.
There's a reason I associate Laughter with black mana.
Meanwhile, Generosity may be blue, but Rarity herself definitely has the ambition to qualify for skulls in the top right corner.
Likewise Dash.
It's not that kind of story, AJ.
Fluttershy wasn't sure who this "Ryan Reynolds" pony was, but Pinkie assured her this symbolized his most terrible aspect.
Several thousand gp worth, I'm sure.
I'm not sure how to feel about the gem spell finding hydroxyapatite.
All they need is some glowing green syringes and they're in business!
"For some reason, I have the strangest urge to say 'Motion carried' when all three of us actually agree on something."
If nothing else, having another Twilight should help with her packed schedule. And I did appreciate the castle effectively sighing and fixing the situation for these numbskulls.
Brilliant work all around. Thank you for it.

All hail the new Princess of Friendship, Twiborg Sparky!
I wonder if there will be a follow up
9646992
Just for shenanigans' sake, let SciTwi get caught up in it too so now they're Twi-Five
9648752
If SciTwi were to die, how would they go about rezzing her?
wow need another chapter of both twilight meeting
Well then, I know my own kind when I spot 'em. So, since her death was neither Justified or Heroic, shouldn't she get back up and be sporting her Alicorn-Jammies?
I want to see this connected to the song of the spheres somehow perhaps through the sweetie Belle's but I just want to see how these four different versions of twilight react to it
Say 'hi' to Rick Sanchez!
i couldn't figure out what she said... anyone give me a translation?

ok thanks!
This was ludicrous, and I loved your take on the characters. Definitely a favorite
This was a challenge to read. At work. Without drawing too much attention to myself whenever I snorted or started laughing. Good thing they're used to me being weird.
...God dammit.
10/10
Brilliant :D
Last bit was icing !
And that's how Equestria was made!
I haven’t finished reading but this line by itself has earned your upvote.
Congratulations, you’ve invented the Slice of Death genre.
