Chapter 18 - Epilogue

In a great big spaceship that has a resemblance to a great big pendulum clock was a donkey making his way to the control room of the ship. The corridors were all made of see-through plastic where you could see all sorts of gears and pistons and such. The hallways were also littered with ponies holding staffs with clocks attached to them. They looked like royal guards except they had clocks on their chest armour and hats. As the donkey entered the control room the doors opened automatically for him. And in the pilot's chair was a bulky unicorn with a black, slicked-back mane and a grey coat. The unicorn was busy petting the Seal of War while watching what appeared to be a sponge living in a pineapple under the sea on a television screen.

"Master!" The donkey said in a raspy yet nasally voice "Celestia and her forces have defeated the Sith Lord and ADVENT! What do we do?!"

"Hush, Cowardly Donkey!" the unicorn said in a slight British accent and a voice that is somewhat nasally "Hush. Let them enjoy their victory. After all, what good is hope if you can't turn it into despair later on?"

"Your wisdom is greater than I thought, Master."

"Well, when you lived as long as I have, you pick up on a few tidbits of wisdom. For example, how to manipulate a Sith Lord and The Angelis Ethereal into joining my cause. But of course, what good is unlimited power if you have to share it with people?"

"No good at all, master!"

"Besides, the invasion was nothing more than a diversion so I can get the rest of the seals. Speaking of which, has Mercenary delivered the former pupil of this Celestia to me? You know, the one that isn't an alicorn and has been laying low on the Earth with the humans?"

"Yo!" shouted an Earth pony clad in a red jumpsuit and a mask with two black dots around his eyes carrying an unconscious yellow human on his back. The human was wearing a leather jacket and had wavy hair that kinda looked like bacon.

"I have the girl you're looking for, Kronos! I would have used the magic mirror but because of some magical mumbo-jumbo, I had to borrow one of your extradimensional ships instead."

The unicorn turned around and smiled. His face had a goatee and a pair of yellow snake-like eyes. He then looked at the unconscious human lying down on the floor and then looked back up at the Earth pony.

"Excellent work, Mercenary. Since that there have been reports on their world that a seal was in contact with the unicorn pretending to be a human, I figured she'd have an idea of where the seals are. You and Cowardly Donkey may leave now."

"Sure, but when do I get paid?"

"Soon, oh and one more thing"

Kronos then blasted Cowardly Donkey and Mercenary on their back-sides with a blast of magic, startling them in the process.

"No dawdling. They do not call me a Time Turner because I waste time you know."

"No dawdling" Cowardly Donkey said "Right away, master!"

After Cowardly Donkey and Mercenary left, Kronos then levitated the unconscious human near him and smiled while caressing her face.

"If my tools have failed to find the seals, it appears I will have to do it myself."
