This was, in Kronos' humble opinion, an absolute shitshow.

The small brown Earthpony sighed as she watched the Not Quite Unicorn run around. She had known, of course, when her other half put Astral in here, that things would not end well.

She had wanted to help, to get her out, but to do so would telegraph her location to her other half and she-

"Hello Kronos."

Oh, for the love of-

"Hello Kronos."

Her other half probably wouldn't attack her here, since Astral could see them, and give the whole 'game' away, but just in case, she plunged her hoof into the Space Where There Was No Space, and pulled out her blade.

Don't engage, she is way more powerful than you now, don't engage-

"You must be pretty proud of yourself, huh?"

Why?!

The Unicorn That Wasn't A Unicorn tilted her head at the Earthpony That Wasn't An Earthpony. "What do you mean?"

"I saw what you did to Pegasus in Appleoosa. She-" she gestured after the departing Astral "saw the aftermath."

"Yes, well, it was a very messy fight."

"She was fighting for her life, I would expect it to be messy" Kronos huffed. "I assume you are now Unicorn and Pegasus now?"

"Uh-huh. Oh, and Kronos?"

"Yeah?"

"Astral's not here to see us fight anymore."

Oh fuck off.
