This story is a sequel to Vinyl and Octavia Join COBRA
With their new job as COBRA Troopers finally starting to give them some vague semblance of a normal life back, it sure would be a pity if Vinyl and Octavia found themselves hurled through random time periods in Equestria, wouldn't it?
It'd be even more of a pity if they never got home. But I'm sure that wouldn't happen.
Thanks to Josh P for the cover art!

Nice skyrim reference
ApatosaurI.
Indeed.
Fair enough.
ç
HAH!
That's a grim Quantum leap reference.
Well then. Dr Whooves is not going to be pleased that they broke the timestream, but, meeting yourself.
I'm relatively certain Apatosaurs don't eat grass. They're like giraffes, wouldn't it make more sense for them to eat from trees?
5905195
Fair call; changed the plural.
5905820
Um...these are...Equestrian Apatosaurs? Which means that they eat grass...for some reason.
This is totally awesome, but I'm really curious about future Vinyls robot leg, and I love how you put the number 42 in there
She's right.
Oh I like her.
Agreed.
She's no wrong.
Ouch!
Of course.
If only she knew.
Fair enough.
Go on.
5906083 Works for me!
I'm loving this! Nice work! Can't wait for more! XD
You're calm I see.
Makes sense.
Hurry it up buddy? Hm...
What are you planning?
Yeah, just a tip, don't piss off your ruler.
Vinyl?
Ah, so pre Windigos.
Hey, I doubt it's an easy spell, what do you want, it's highly magic consuming, it's hard to pull off and she's no Twilight Sparkle.
Thank you.
No worries.
Fair enough.
This proves it. Vinyl Scratch is best pony.
Fair enough, but don't you mean Trojan?
Smart.
Make sense? Oh what fun is there in making sense?
Assassins.
Nice thinking.
You're insane. Also, realiZing.
Good luck with that. Also, what does Forsooth mean anyway?
Yep.
I do love Casual Danger Dialogue.
True.
Brainwashed? How cute.
Love is a crazy force. And die? Tavi? Nope.
Yikes. Also, realiZed and realiZing.
This. Just this.
I love how calm they are.
Not sure how much of this is a bluff.
I know, not to mention it's hard to clean, especially now.
Impressive logic, but who?
Good fun, first time I've heard that used to describe political intrigue.
Maybe.
Hm.
I think I know our culprit.
Figures. I wondered when shenanigans would begin.
Subtle.
Your Wrong Genre Savviness is amazing. Mind you it's be an amazing twist if she was right
Wow. Wow.
Of course.
Were all ponies back then this unsubtle? Because I think if Octavia were Queen, this moron would be dead already.
Same.
Oi...
Indeed.
Most likely not, no.
Why aren't you acting any more? Are you this stupid? Also, SAY WHAT!?
I see.
Eh?
Oh, well then. Dark. Also, realiZing.
You know, when I said that it'd be cool if Minister Peace WAS behind the assassination attempts, I WAS F*CKING KIDDING!
Not always.
What are you on about?
I know.
This thing's sequel?
Or I was wrong?
YOU SIT UPON A THRONE OF LIES
Let me count the ways.
Wow, that's, very sweet of her.
Oh crap.
Be that as it may, it worked.
True, best keep them in for now, then only yank them out when you have a unicorn who can heal your wounds.
Whatever.
Indeed.
She's right. Also, I WAS F*CKING KIDDING!
She's right.
Badass Vinyl is bet Vinyl.
Say what?
I, see.
Convenient!
I see.
It is. Also, anyPONY.
Of course.
No worries, it was fun.

Part of the intended joke is the fact that Vinyl clearly doesn't know what she's talking about (see also: sleeping agents as opposed to sleeper agents).
Also, I very much doubt that there's a city of Troy in Equestria that had the whole wooden horse thing done to it, so in a way it would sort of not make sense if the phrase "Trojan Horse" existed in Equestria.
I'm Australian, so I use British English. (Same for all of the other uses of realising and realised and so on that you pointed out).
In the previous chapter, there were hints from Future Vinyl and Future Octavia that they would have to fight spirit zombies in the future.
Wait and see
6051304
Fair enough.
I point you to the Chrysalis FIENDship Is Magic.
Fair enough.
How does that even WORK?
K.
Totally called the fact that they were both behind it. Anything else would have made too much sense. Somehow I also managed to call the bed maneuver. Didn't make it any less crazy awesome tho.
I can honestly say I wasn't expecting them both to be behind it at all.
let's go to a journey a journey through time the time is changing all the time is time to go to TIME!
This fic in a nutshell.
*sigh* Never change Vinyl.
The Prohobition.
See?
You're nuts.
Most likely.
I like it when Vinyl shows common sense.
Didn't one of you have a prosthetic limb?
You're all madponies.
Huh?
Luna?
All I see is a deluded white unicorn engaging in INSANE TROLL LOGIC!
Yep.
That's stupid, you're stupid! Stop being stupid!
She's right.
You're a madpony.
Well, it's probably better than whatever Vinyl can think up.
SHE WAS F*CKING KIDDING!
You moron.
Yep.
No, they're time travelerts.
Yep.
This won't end well.
Oh god...
Wretched Hive Of Scum And Villany. Ironically, when I read this, I was watching A New Hope, and it was at that part. I spat out my drink laughing.
They're not interested in you.
This amuses me.
I don't think there's a stereotype about Mafia that you've MISSED so far.
Simple enough.
I'm confused.
Sounds expensive, then again, it IS the Prohobition era, wait, do you even HAVE bits?
Oh, right. f*ck.
Ohdear.
Now Big Cheese, relax, it's not like they've actually bought anything yet...
Oh dear.
What is he thinking?
You two have a LOT of dumb luck.
Yeah, CRIMINALS.
SHOULD is the key word.
Wise move.
Is it really running if you're time traveling?
Sad day when Vinyl's the straight mare.
Oh boy.
Yep.
Yep again.
Teis won't end well.
Understandable.
That'd be a no.
Not sure if I should or
Nope, and nope. Also, prison? Cute. Been there, done that, broke out, traveled through time.
THis should be fun.
Probably the wine.
Don't provoke the police, Vinyl.
That might work.
Easy to forget they're Badass.
The hell is that?
Probably.
That worked.
Guess so.
Or, hide out until the time travel spell is recharged and get the hell out.
No clue if it matters.
You Fourth Wall Breaking motherbucker.
Same.
That's a lot of booze.
No kidding.
Wait, what?
Seve as a distraction, yes.
You are merciless.
Nope, now, teleport out, hide, wait till your magic recharges, and time travel out of there!
What is it I wonder.
You'll regret that soon ennough.
Did it hurt?
I suppose that works.
Basically.
It's funny because she likes booze.
Why would she?
You are aware there's a high chance that wouldn't work, right?
So how do they get out of this one? What? They're alive 25 years later, they will get out of this.
Bull.
If this WERE the actual end, yes.
It's marked incomplete.
That it ain't done yet. Raise your hand if you weren't fooled for a second.
I jut want to say: THAT WAS AWESOME! I really love your work and think it was worth the wait. Thank you for such an awesome story.
6821956
Thank you! As I said, whilst some of it was some personal stuff I was going through, there was also definitely a degree of laziness to this, which I've got no real excuse for. I'll try and get the next story up soon!
It's alive. It's alive. IT'S ALIVE!
Sorry, had to get that out of my system.
Don't tell me you're going to...
Oh good.
Between that or dying, yes.
A smart mook. I don't belive this.
I just hope they have stormtrooper aim.
Wow, theyo.
She's right. Granted, not necessarily if hit doesn't hit a vital organ, but if it DOES, yeah you're dead.
Of course.
Either way, you're getting closer to the present, since trains are now a thing.
I doubt that. EIther way, for your own sake, stay out of trouble. She's not going to is she?
... Yes.
*sigh*
What?
Fair enough.
I doubt it.
This feels like a simultanous parody of Gurren Lagen and Kingdom Hearts.
Kill la Kill reference.
Um...
The bullshit is strong in you. And it's also a BADASS BULLSHIT! So yes, this is amazing.
Apparently yes.
Daaw!
Aye.
Ah dunno.
Title drop and roll credits! Only thing I noticed, I remember Future Vinyl, I think, had an artificial leg, which means she's gonna lose it at some point. Oh dear...
A lot.
Probably the present, or close anyway.
When are you then?
Phew.
Hm, I wonder....
Cyber-Celestia? What happened to the original one?
6822439 Your comments are one of my favorite things to read after the story. It just makes everything that much funnier. Thank you!
