"A world that never ends."
Within empty space, the alliance carries the frozen in time station. It's been a day since they have travelled through here. Empty space seems to be making the station encasing more solid. The ponies inside perfectly preserved. Along with the other races. Eight legs was worried about Charity because he has fallen in love with that pony. He has no idea why he fell for the one of his dreams. It's to the point he knows that he shouldn't worry. But they see a ship leave flying towards the main ship. A salamander walks to Eight legs as he leans on his cane.
"Sebastien? How is it in there? Also, how did you escape the magic?"
Sebastien smiles and sighs. "It's not looking good in there. But a lot of Twilight's minions are dead. Most of the security that protected the station is either wounded or dying. We have time to save all of them. But it might be best to hide them even if the minions of Disharmony get stronger. If they stay in hiding and only show up when the alliance is needed. Then maybe we can train them enough to be ready for war."
Eight legs nods, looking towards the station. He looks back to Sabastion. "But you never said how you escaped."
The Salamander laughs softly. "Hmm, let's just say my species is part of the time flow... So we walk and enjoy the slow time. But of course, they could be frozen in time forever, Eight legs. But I am sure there is a way to break that spell. But if I can find more of my race. We can remove the dead and the wounded. Then we can save whoever we can. But we might have to land the station to make it safer. Also, best to update it so it can go back to the galaxy it belongs."
Eight Legs nodded. He sighed, closing his eyes for a moment. " We are taking them to the world of the golden suns. I feel that the Shadow flyers will protect them as they build on the world breed and expand their world. We might have to even gather more from their world. To start a world of rebellion. But first we land the station but it might be a month or so before we get to this new world. If we get there in a few day's that will be a good thing."
Sebastien nods calmly, walking away, looking back to Eight legs.
"The one you gave your heart to is a strong mare. But you do know, Eight legs, she and her friends will need to go beyond the galaxy. I do know that's not what you want... But sooner or later, you will have to let her go beyond. This war is going to harm her and her friends so much... That's if Disharmony tempts them after this war... They might turn evil again and never able to live."
Eight legs nods. He watches the station. He watches a group of ships turn their beams off and let others take over pushing the station. As the others start recharging. He sighed thinking about what Sebastien said. He wishes he could speak to his queen. He blinks, knowing that he can. He sends a message to the rest of the fleet.
"I am going to go speak to the Queen. I shall return when you find the planet." He walks through the ship watching the alliance work together on his ship. The Crystal wings, the crystal birds creatures. They seem to be working on weapons along with the Seven Fangs. The Toxic walkers seem to be cleaning the inside of the core. The slime walkers seem to be making slime weapons. The stone backs are making armour for the ponies because this world is full of deadly creatures they will have to tame. The lava demons are even making them weapons. The alliance feels if they start over, they will need the weapons to do so. He walks through the rest of the ship and then he noticed a Diamond dog. A unicorn mare, A changeling, and a Griffin they seem to be looking at the station worried about their species and their world.
The unicorn mare is named Crystal River. She is one of the ambassadors from Equestria. The Diamond dog male is known as Tito. He seems to hold her as she sobs. The Changeling known as Digbug, is working on weapons and the Griffin is pissed.
"I hear the queen is on that Station and we should take care of her... With what she did to our world!" The female Griffin is extremely angry as Eight legs walks in and places one of his claws on her shoulder and she turns her anger began to fade.
"The Queen is controlled dear one. We don't know who is controlling your world now but Star Swirl will tell us soon. But we need to first learn." The Griffin nods as Eight legs leaves them alone. There are more ponies on this ship. But they seem to be keeping to themselves and their world turned into what Twilight fought for so long. He feels that the ponies lost their way. Maybe it is time for them to give up on Equestria for the time being. Then return and change Equestria for the better... It is going to be hard for them. He gets to the shuttle and then in this shuttle is a live feed of the Light of Harmony ship. It seems it turned into a tree. To make sure the shield last longer. So now he knows why. The ship turned back into a tree to power the shield to protect the bearers of harmony. He sighed as he figured that the ship was part of the reason for it. But he noticed it's also been hit by some of the lasers by the Equestrian fleet. It seems to be repairing slowly.
He starts up the shuttle to get ready to fly out of his ship to head back to the Darkweaver world, Silk web. He sighed, closing his eyes a moment and slowly left the ship. He decided to take a look back at the station and then flew off towards the Dark Weaver world. He leaned back in the chair, closing his many eyes. He sighed softly, worried about the ponies. But this flight is going to take awhile. He closed his eyes again to rest. Having a dream or what his people call it..the future...
<HR>
He opened his eyes seeing the future. The army of harmony and disharmony fighting for Equestria. The main focus is that world. There is something about Equestria that he doesn't know. Maybe it has something to do with why the battle is so harsh there. In his dream, he walks along the world, seeing the ponies how peaceful it was, which was way, way, back then before any war broke out. He follows the ponies and noticed the gate to Tartarus. He walks towards it to see the creatures on the other side. These beings aren't even part of any army. They will destroy Equestria and take it over. Then they will kill both armies. Why doesn't the army of Disharmony know this? He then turns around to which he sees Celestia. He blinks, she seems to be a ghost and either dead or just there out of phase.
She speaks softly. "Equestria, my world...broken from the one I trust to put in charge..." She looks up, her eyes full of pain and sorrow. "You must be Eight legs... I'm Celestia." He blinked. Was this really a dream or did the spirits of the universe wish him to speak to her? He sat beside her, it's something he never thought of. But the pain of how much that can be done.
She softly spoke again. "I can tell that you never met a Goddess or a Goddess to my little ponies." She said with a soft gentle smile.
"Tell me...what is with the gate that leads to some deadly evil creatures?"
Celestia sighs softly, looking towards the gate. "It holds the greatest threats of Equestria, even greater than the threats your harmony army will fight. If the army of Disharmony releases them, then they will take over the world... Then destroy the army of Harmony and disharmony. You don't wish this to happen. Because they will become an even greater threat."
Eight legs blinked and looked into the gate. "Who or what is in there?"
Celestia frowned and sighed. "Grogar, The demon necromancer. Tirek, one that steals magic, Airbus steals shadows, Squint and his little partner I don't remember the name sadly, tried to destroy dream valley so many years ago. A demon creature known as Somnambula, some strange bees and many more creatures that call that place home. It's not a pleasant thing to see really. But if they get free... They will find a way to harm this lovely world... Worse than Twilight ever did. I am sorry to say but no matter who wins this war... You both will lose... If they escape."
Eight legs looked at her and back to the gate, Grogar stared at him with a great evil smile. He seemed to gather the fact that he would be the first to escape and he sent a whisper in a dark voice. "Dear child... I will be the first to escape...and my city will return...now...wake up."
<HR>
He opened his eyes and came out of empty space as he was at his world. He sighed and knew it would take awhile to be able to talk to the Queen. He flew into the world again... A beautiful forest world with a city which was lifted up by giant webs above the evil city. It's something he always loved to see but...it's going to be hard to see the way to know. He landed in the center of the Queen but the speakers were talking. While Eight legs walked in, they all looked at him. But they went back to talking about issues of the state and he sat in a seat, waiting to be able to talk to the Queen. He looked up to the throne and saw a giant Queen laying eggs. The queen seemed to be bored listening she wasn't into a lot of this after so many years. She was one of the first created during the war and fought for the freedom of all Dark weavers. He closed his eyes again, drifting to sleep but after a while, she hit the staff on the ground as it echoed through the room.
He stood up quickly and the Queen looked at him and she spoke.
"Speak to us, dear." She has a soft voice but it sounded old and wise.
He sighed. "I need your permission to gather our best scientist and some of the creators of weapons and armour we have. Also, some ships to protect the world of the golden suns. The station is frozen in a time bubble we moved it and it will take us... Some time to unfreeze it and remove the wounded ponies from it. So we need all the help we can get." The Queen stared at him calmly she sat back into the chair and thought a moment. She opened a strange bottle and poured a cup of whatever it was and started to drink. The eggs being cleaned by the drones and moved to the nursery. She just kept thinking because it was her choice to move all these resources but it's something that is normal to happen.
She clicks her claws together and opened the scepter, starting to speak in it. "I need the best of our scientist here, the best builders and weapon makers. This is to help our allies." Then gets off the throne and detaches the strange fleshy tube that helped her lay eggs and looks to Eight legs.
"Come with me, we need to speak." Eight legs nodded and followed the Queen to her chambers. She stood there, sighing, closing her many eyes and turned to Eight legs. "Eight legs, I know how you care about these ponies... But do you really think they can beat the army of disharmony? From how you said, it seems they have failed and are now frozen in time. I will also send our time walkers, Eight Legs. But only two...ask them to remove those are closed wounded. Then have our builders help them make what they can. But if you see this Twilight bring her to our world. Because deprogramming her will take a long time." He nodded and got ready to leave but then she spoke up again.
"Do you really think that Charity will become your mate, Eight legs?" She looked to him calmly. It was hard to read her emotions on her bug-like face. "I know you're in love with her...but even if you become a family...You do know down the line, you will lose her to fate." He turned to look at his Queen, nodding.
He spoke softly so only she could hear him. "My Queen...these ponies are strong and Charity softened my heart... But thank you, my Queen." He leaves and the time walkers come to him. One of the time walkers is a cyborg being that seems to a large dog-like creature. He doesn't even remember his race. The other is a Seven fang that vanished from his world years ago. He nodded to them and lead them to his ship... He was watching other ships fly off to head to the planet of the Golden Suns. If they stay silent, the army of disharmony will just keep building up their forces. In a year, both armies will battle. Now, it's time to find the new world and make contact with the bat aliens. The shadow flyers will ally with them. Getting into his ship with the walkers, flying off and following the other ships. The weaver Ambassador and commander of some of the army. Has a lot on his mind. Charity is one of them... But he knows she is probably not one of the wounded. He flys into empty space with the others and puts the ship on auto, leaning back and falling asleep as it would take some time to get to this world. He along with the others, go into stasis because it might take months to get there or if they're lucky, a few days.

Equestria Tartarus
Inside the gate of Tartarus, it used to be known as a dark evil cavern inside. But it changed after the death of the gate protector. It is now a large land that used to be known as Dream valley. All the ponies of the past had to escape this land and they built a gate to keep the evil at bay. But history has been lost to the ages because of the drama of the tribes. Back then, there was no such thing as the tribes. But that was because friendship and harmony weren't the focus back in the day.
There are old history books still alive inside the gated world. But sooner or later, somepony will have to go inside there to fix whatever issue that will happen. But at the moment Dream Valley is dead and turned into the land of evil. So many villains and their minions walk along the gate and seem to wait for the time to strike. At this very moment, one villain walks towards the gate and he is a Ram, an undead ram. A ram that is known to be a great evil of the past. Most don't even remember him. The only one that did is now dead and long gone. To some, he has no name...but to those that remember him, his name is Grogar.
Grogar walked near the closed gate looking outside it. A lot of the door has holes in it. Since there has been many attacks over the year's and it hard to repair. He turns to his army of undead warrior's but it wasn't time yet. It was getting close. He built a camp near the door..He was the one waiting to leave, near the camp is some water that is leaking through the door but slowly. A giant squid comes out of the water. He looks at the rest of the army and gives Grogar a nod. While Zeb, a Zebra in a strange coat comes along and sets down the satchel and lifts his hoof pointing to his master who is weak.
"When we do leave my friend? The Shadows of the ponies will be needed. My master is weak... Since the Flutterponies are no more, it will take much to take him down." Grogar gave a nod. But deep in his mind, he was going to betray them all. But for the time being, he needs them... Till he can find the remains of his city. But they have to wait for Sombra to remove the army at the gate. But it may take awhile before that is allowed. Tirek seemed to be well himself, the necromancer goat has a dark smile on his face. So many willing to come to the aid of the evil ones. They will take over Equestria and remove friendship and harmony. Then there will be a new age." He watched as many minions just watched the others. They didn't trust each other...but Sombra needed to be ready to open the gates. The gates have been attacked many times over the years.
Grogar looked back to the camps and he sighed. It was time in his mind but he had to wait it seems. To the point, he didn't wish to be stuck in here anymore. He has been stuck in here for years longer than the others. He was beaten by a song... His power removed by a bell. A powerful bell he never even knew was built to weaken him. He was placed in here and then guarded heavily by the owner of this land and the dogs. Now, both are fully dead. He sighed, closing his eyes tightly and then realizing he has been thinking for so long. To the point, he didn't know that the others were watching him. He didn't wish to look weak to them. He turned to them and gave an evil smirk.
"Anytime now and then, we can leave this valley."

The alliance fleet finally made it to the planet. One of the alliance worlds that had strange dark ships shaped like bats with flapping wings protecting it with a shield. The shield opened up to welcome to the broken station and the alliance fleet. The ships calmly land, the broken station in an area they will be building. After a while, the builders and scientist get out of their ships along with the farmers since ponies don't eat meat but the others do. The hunters go to get meat for the meat eaters. The builders have ponies, griffins and others of Equestria to help them build their housing. The griffins found a mountain to build a new griffin kingdom. The ponies found a good area for another castle and a large village like ponyville were the castle will be. A good place for the diamond dogs and other races. The changelings that were in the ships went to make a hive. But it was close to every other. It was going to take awhile to build all this but the main thing was the time walkers. They wanted to find Luna first, then the others.
The time walker slowly walks through the area some of the fighting is still going on it seems. They find Luna in the middle of a giant fight but they have to push the minions of Twilight out of the way. They pull Luna, who is not even wounded, out of the station and away from the bubble and she looks around quickly and then turns to the station, gasping. "Wh...what happened?"
Eight legs sighs and calmly patted her shoulder. "The battle got...bad it seems. Now, we found you a new world to start again." Luna looked around she sighs softly. The dark flier leader landed in front of her and gave her a strange crystal and flew back off. She looked at it and Eight legs softly spoke. "Eat it...become the Queen of this world Luna... Control nature. The dark fliers don't mind, in fact, this world was created for the army of harmony."
Luna floated the crystal in her magic and looked back to Eight legs. "I wish to do this when the rest of my ponies and others are awake, Eight legs." She calmly said with a painful look at the crystal. "I want them to see hope." She calmly closed her eyes and sighed, going to a tent that was put up for her by Equestrians. She just laid in there. She removed her Armour and her weapons and just calmly sobbed.
The time walkers walked back in, trying to get the rest. They go to C&C and find Jigsaw and Sugar Sparkle. The two of them pull both out... They aren't as wounded. An updated wheelchair was made for Sugar sparkle and she was strapped in it and she went to go think. Jigsaw flew into the air to search for clouds that could be used for housing. The Dark flyers showed the Pegasi that are trying to tame the weather and build a city up in the sky. Sugar sparkle sighed and watched all these buildings being built. it was going to take time... She even shivered while a diamond dog covered her with a blanket and he smiled and walked back to help the others. So much was going on and she calmly laid down to rest.
The devices that help the time walkers to go through the bubble were overheating. They pulled two more out that they could get. River the little Zebra that Charity adopted and the other got Starlight Glimmer. She looked around, her eyes going wide, seeing the station and feeling all this was her fault. Looking down to little River, who was helped by another Zebra, they found a forested area to build. But River needed someone till her adopted mother could be free.
But Starlight couldn't speak she looked up wondering why she couldn't then she looked back to the station she looked up and felt her heart sink. She slowly walked back into the shield. It looked to be that she is not fully healed in her mind. But before she went inside. She looked back with a smile. Bowing her head and Eight Leg's fully understood. When she went in the shield accepted her pulling her back inside to the place she was at before.
One of the time walkers looked at Eight legs. "Our walking devices need time to charge. I will try to find more which have the ability to walk through the barriers of time or this would take months. I doubt it's wise to just remove the spell all at once... Some are badly wounded, very badly wounded. So we need to get medics ready." There was a sound and a large ship that the dark reavers bring out and they put turrets all around the planet to protect the ponies. This is their new home now until they get Equestria back... But many of them might not even want to return.
Eight legs just looked at the station. He wanted to get to his lover. But he knows he needs to remove Twilight first. He speaks up. "Build a prison in your castle, ponies. Make a strong prison that can hold an Alicorn queen." The builders look up and nod. The foundation was already built. There is a deep basement and the diamond dogs seem to understand. The fact all places were built not to close to each other. But small homes were starting to be built. But when the station is ready to leave the planet most might stay behind. Eight Legs watches the ships fly off to go back to Equestria to pick up the ponies that wish to come. He hopes that most of them come back with some of the resistance. He sighed, worried about Charity. He looked back towards the buildings and the creatures of Equestria coping with not being in their world. He looks up, sighing and hoping the other worlds in the Alliance of Equestria are doing better than their own world.
He sighed and looked to the station walking to it closing his eyes and takes a deep breath. "Oh, great minions of harmony, please free them... But I can understand that you can't be everywhere at once. It's something you must learn." He places his many hands on the shield. He feels himself able to reach inside. He tries reaching for one of the ones dying from the space and he tries grabbing them but he won't be able to budge them. They're to frozen in time. Then the shield itself hits him away and starts to glow brightly and then dims again. He stood back up and sighed.
He looked to see a unicorn mare looking into the station. She has tears in her eyes. She sees someone close to her. Eight legs calmly went to the crying mare and she looks up to him with a weak smile. "My...husband is in there..." She points her horn to a Pegasus stallion that is one of the ones frozen in time. But he has a suit on. "I want to get to him... But I can't. But... I think I should help get our homes ready." The dark weaver calmly looks at the station, watching the mare walk off to help the buildings to be built.
A calm gentle breeze forms around him Luna landing beside him. "I think I will become Queen of this world. But I feel I must be there for the final battle to free my world." Eight Legs looked at Luna, nodding.
"You will be able to do everything you did in Equestria here. Luna, you might even be able to speak to your sister." Luna's eyes go wide, turning to Eight legs as tears form in her eyes before they stream down her face as her ears pinned back against her head as she looked to the sky... The sun and the moon move on their own...but soon that won't happen at all...
<HR>
The minions of the Sunset Shimmer bring a magic padlock to the gates of Tartarus to keep the creatures at bay...but what is interesting is that this lock is made with magic...and will be used to shatter the gate at the right time. One of the minions looks to Grogar who is on the other side of the gate, nodding to them as they left leaving the lock. It calmly glows to show the spell is keeping the door locked and shielded. For the time being this lock seems to be keeping Grogar from getting too close. The magic lock drains his dark magic. But he knew that's what Sombra wished to do. It's something that he was hoping he would be able to do soon. But it's how some never learn. But it's a way that he would have to learn, looking towards his minions and nodded to them and showing them it's time for them to let some of them die to allow their master to be free.
The undead goats calmly go to the door to infuse their magic into the lock but slow enough that it would take hours for them to die. Grogar had a large evil smile on his face. It was his time to lead Equestria. He is wondering how the lands would be his.
<HR>
Dragon Lands.
The ponies that made it out are crying and sobbing along with Diamond Dog and griffins that made it. What's interesting they looked up to see many ally ships coming down to land beside them and a Dark Weaver came out of the ship and nodded to them. Star Swirl was already talking to the two princesses and looking towards them as the Weaver spoke.
"To those that wish to leave Equestria, we found you a new world that you can live on. It will be like Equestria but, I know this would be a giant change for most of you. We wish the Princess to come with us. We will leave some behind to help rebuild the Crystal Empire. But that will sadly take longer than most think. But first, we need an army to be made, so we can come back and help you in your world back. So whoever wishes to come." The ships lower their bays. "Go inside and then we will take you to the new world." Families of ponies walk up into the ships with some staying behind. A wife and husband kissing each other goodbye as the husband stays behind to try to keep up the fight for Equestria. All of the Griffins seem to be leaving along with the diamond dogs...All that stays behind are dragons and some Changelings. The two princess get on the ship and then look back to the Equestria they know and love and then the ships close up and fly off into space. Then right when they get out of the planet, they go into empty space to head back to the other world that needs a name.
Star Swirl seems to stay behind as well. Ember looks up into the sky and sighs. She knew sooner or later it would be time for the dragons to help take back the world... But they would have to gather resources to make weapons and whatever else to fight off who is in control of the world now.
At this very moment in Equestria, some fires are still burning from the battle that recently did just happen. But only things that mostly have lived through all this. Is what is left of the former heroes. The former heroes are fine. The graves of all the heroes including the former CMC's are still standing. Even if Fluttershy's little cabin is burning. All the animals are huddled around the grave most of them slowly passing away... To hopefully be with Fluttershy and some Dark weavers gather the creatures from Equestria to move them to the new world. But only the good ones. They take animals that are either babies or still just eggs. Then leave since it was getting harder to gather the rest of what they needed and then flew off. The system that protects Equestria in space is turned off for the moment... So it give's them time to escape... Before the ponies of that world fully get everything back together.
Finally, the ships leave and enter Empty space. The creatures from Equestria watching their world vanish as they fly to a world unknown to them. Most of them seem to be broken and crying. While Flurry and her mother stay silent looking towards what is left of the crystal empire. Some ponies did make it out. But most of them are frozen and long gone. It's going to take years to rebuild everything. Just because of what Twilight caused. The harmony left the world causing the crystal heart to shatter and all that has happened the history of the Crystal empire gone... In a matter of seconds while a snowstorm takes everything out. The hope these ponies have now gone. The Griffins that lived through the attack seem to be the only ones left. There is two Minotaur's, a husband and wife. A wife who is expecting. But the rest of their kind welcomed Twilight's power. But maybe someday they will see their race again. Hoping this would happen. So much has happened to them in the matter of a few days. The battle took many days with nothing to even show for it.
<HR>
The new world Luna is sitting on a mountain, her eyes closed. While she lowers the sun allowing the Equestrian races to fall asleep. Beside her are bat ponies that followed her here. But also the Dark flyers that seem to defend her as well. At the moment her Kingdom is just this mountain till the castle is built. Her eyes tightly closed. Feeling the wind grow as she looks down seeing some farms being built. Then little towns maybe someday bigger cities will be built. But that day won't be for awhile. Looking every spot of her domain. Looking down from the mountain seeing another castle being built like cantorlot. But it will be renamed along with this world. Looking up into the sky seeing how protected this world is. Maybe no pony will ever wish to return to Equestria and just wish to stay here.
She looks to her guards and calmly speaks.
"Please leave me and help build with the other creatures of the night." The Dark flyers nod, along with the bat ponies. She closed her eyes again and calmly speaks to herself. "I doubt... I can do anything on my own... sister, I wish you were here."
She felt a large creature lean against her in the soft voice of her sister. "Oh, Luna...you will do wonderfully. It takes a lot to move on. But you will sooner or later." Luna opened her eyes, seeing her sister and her eyes go wide but then realized she is dead.
"I may be dead... Luna... But my spirit is here. I shall become part of this world. But...Twilight must be kept away from the holders of harmony until her heart is cleansed. Then given leadership again back in our old world... I feel that she will lead that world... Until it's time for her to go beyond the rim of the galaxy." Luna nods, looking down. "You will come there someday... But it will be after our kind become better."
Luna blinked, looking up as her sister vanished and she was pure energy and vanished from the world. Her eyes fill with tears as they fall from her face. Maybe time there will be peace. Looking down to see the station still encased in the shield. The shield calmly glows while the magic user tries to allow the time walkers more time inside. For the moment the time walkers haven't been able to go back in... Since getting too close to the docks removes most of the power. So to get to Rainbow Cloud and Twilight is going to be much harder. But to get to the others will be easier.
But for the time being, she felt it was wise... To wait before pulling the rest out... And pulling them out one at a time. She calmly flies down to the station. She noticed River looking into the station. "I miss my mother miss, Luna... She was in the same area I was in... But no pony seemed to care she was there."
Luna smiled and calmly nuzzled the little Zebra foal. "Don't worry, she will be the first one pulled out next to some of the workers. I am hoping that Chaser is pulled out next. Along with the rest of the workers. So they can help build up our homes. Then we can get the station rebuilt. Maybe make it stronger and remove all the issues it had from the other world... It came from." Luna is extremely calm for the moment and it seems she is not tired. But she looks at the crystal she had with her which was strapped to her side. She was waiting to eat it... To become Queen of this world. She knew sooner or later she will be charging to the battle to get back Equestria. Her eyes close again she felt so much wished upon her. It would take a few days to get the other royals here. Looking towards the station again seeing that soon everypony will be reborn.
She walks back into her tent and for now, she would rest her mind and body. She lays down along with the stone, closing her very heavy tired set eyes. As she hopes those inside don't understand the pain that many ponies of this new world are feeling. It's so easy to tell that down the line there will be hope. But at times, hope is never going to come along. The world has been named in her mind. She is going to bring it to the forefront in the day next. Call this world New Celestia to honor Celestia and to hope... If Equestria fully falls then this world becomes the new Equestria and hope starts returning.
"Hope is all we need in the end."
