//------------------------------//

Two weeks later since Discord's arrested for causing chaos and stealing Mystic Intel, Mane Six and Dragon Strike Force continued teaching and helping students learn about friendship, though they also have to deal with Rarity and Rainbow's Friendship Case. Nezha has returned to the throne but still under watchful eye by the Mystic Council. Discord was nowhere to be seen in Equestria since he was the prisoner to Mystic Ponies.

One day, Mystic Tao and Dragon Kick summoned Mane Six, Dragon Strike Force and even Blackwitch for their help to deal with the intruder. At the Arimaspi Territory's outskirt, they were walking and travelling through the forest before exiting out of the corridor. They've arrived and came across to a large yet creepy and scary cave with Arimaspi's Skull-like.

Everyone marched and entered the cave. Blazefist helped lighting up the torches for everypony to use while walking down the corridor caves, with Mystic Tao, Dragon Kick and Blackwitch leading them.

Blackwitch narrowed her firm eyes, "This is it. We must act now."

"It has to be Arimaspi's Place… Whose idea of putting this 'relic' here again?" Rainbow grumbled in annoyance. Annoyed, Mystic Tao whacked on her head very hard. She yelped in pain before rubbed on her head, "Ow!"

"Respect the elders, Dash!" Mystic Tao sternly scolded Rainbow. He scoffed, "Uncle Tao believed Arimaspi Territory is the best and safest place for protecting the relic. Arimaspis are very territorial and protective creatures. They will never allow any creatures especially Griffons from getting in."

"And you give them the relic why?" Icy asked curiously.

Mystic Tao scoffed a bit, "Arimaspi and Mystic Ponies are good friends and made peaceful trades with each other a lot."

"I see." Twilight nodded understandingly, "Still what kind of relic we're supposed to protect?"

Shadow Dragon nodded in concern while looking at Mystic Tao, "Yeah. It must be serious for you and Kicker to call all of us here."

Dragon Kick sighed, "It really is. This 'relic' belongs to Mystic Guardian of Time." Everyone sans Mystic Tao and Blackwitch looked shock and concern. He continued grimly, "Yes, it is true. This one is important and powerful but also can be very dangerous on the wrong hoof. So, we have to get it before anyone does."

"What kind of relic we're dealing?" Fluttershy asked in fear while holding Terrorcreep's hoof.

"The Element of Time and Space," Blackwitch answered dryly. Everyone looked at her in disbelief. She continued, "It's true. Anyone who use that portal could travel to past, present and even future. It'll be unlimited but also unpredictable and dangerous too."

"No way…" Rainbow said in disbelief.

Rarity nodded, "I agreed with you, Rainbow Dash. That does sound awfully like Flare Tiger's Element. But how is that possible?"

"I was wondering the same thing. But we're going to find out," Twilight said firmly and sternly. She looked at Mystic Tao, "I'm kinda surprised that Star Swirl doesn't know about this."

"That's because we never told him," Mystic Tao said sternly and humbly with huff. Twilight annoyingly looked at him. He scoffed, "Just because he, Blackwitch and I were old colleagues doesn't mean we share secrets including this one. The last thing you want is someone to cheat and change their future for their selfish desires. That could cause some serios distortion and paradox."

Icy gulped, "I don't like to think of that."

Recalling the Time Travel with Starlight, Twilight hummed in thoughts, "I guess you make a good point."

Shadow Dragon sighed, "Well, let's hope that we make sure no one gets in and out with it."

"I have one question," Blazefist said seriously and firmly, "Who else know about this? And why?"

Dragon Kick hummed in concern, "Good question. I fear it might be one of ours…"

Just as Mane Six, Dragon Strike Force and their allies continued walking through the long and dark cavern; they heard some chattering noise and steep hoof-step. They all armed themselves while preparing to fight against whoever the intruder is. As soon as four figures marched and almost close to them, everyone quickly armed and aimed their weapons at the intruders. And at the same time, Dragon Kick shined the torches at them.

"DON'T HURT US!" Four intruders panicked in fear.

Everyone was in shock and disbelief of what they're looking at. They found Yona, Melody, Ciel and Rak were holding and hugging each other tightly yet frantically and fearfully. They all groaned in disbelief and annoyance.

"You've gotta be kidding me," Terrorcreep said in disbelief and annoyance.

"Ciel! What are you and your friends doing here?!" Shorty asked angrily.

Laxtinct nodded sternly, "Yeah! You guys should be in the class, not fieldtrip! We've already done that months ago."

"We're sorry. But ever since our friends talked about going adventures with you, I thought we would like to try it too," Ciel explained calmly. Noticing how angry and annoyed Shorty is, she gulped, "Maybe this is a bad idea."

"Ya think?!" Rak asked in annoyance while facepalmed, "We're in deep trouble! I told you we shouldn't do this."

Melody shrugged a bit, "I don't know. I think it's okay to tag alone. I mean they bring Blackwitch with them here. So, we should do the same."

Blackwitch groaned in annoyance while facepalmed, "That's different. I came here with them because I know how to use and deactivate the Element of Time and Space!"

"So, what's your point," Melody asked in confusion, making everyone facefaulted hard. She giggled, "I always want to know what kind of Arimaspi looked like. I hope they're cute."

Yona groaned, "Yona doesn't believe it. Yona's parents told us that they're very ugly and scary monsters. Stay away from them."

"Now, that's mean, Yona," Melody gently and sternly scolded Yona.

Everyone groaned in disbelief. Pinkie groaned, "Yeesh. You would think that watching over our siblings would be harder than the students…"

Saber interrupted angrily, "Guys! This is a mission, not some kind of adventure! Now get back home before something bad happens!"

"I'm with Saber. No telling who's the bad guy we're dealing with. Not to mention, he could have the relic with him," Applejack said in concern.

"Now, move it. Get out of here before something bad happen," Aqua said firmly as she tried to move and push the students off.

"Wait! Wait! We have it!" Ciel exclaimed frantically while holding up the stoned sphere-like with Element of Time and Space. Everyone stopped while looking at it, with surprise and shocked. She continued, "Yeah! We sort of found and brought it. You did say you want to find it."

Rak nodded in agreement, "Yeah. This is the Element of Time and Space, right?"

"It is…" Mystic Tao said in confirmation while scratching his head, "How did you bypass the traps without our Magic Words?"

"There were traps?" Students asked in surprise.

Everyone was surprised that the students didn't do it. Tailtech gasped, "Guys, if the students didn't do it, then that means-!"

Becoming concern and realizing Tailtech's concerns, Blazefist quickly armed with his Falcon Spear while exclaimed in concern, "Everyone, battle position now!"

Just before anyone could do anything, a true intruder was charging and running straight at Mane Six and their allies. With his speed and agility, he swiftly and quickly attacked and knocked them very hard to the ground or the wall. They all groaned and moaned in pain and dizziness.

While recovering, Mane Six and their allies gasped in shock and concern as they found a familiar sadistic Ultimate Warrior of Death was holding the Element of Time and Space on his left hoof while grabbing and holding Blackwitch a hostage.

"RIPPER?!" Everyone asked in disbelief.

Ripper chuckled amusingly, "Many thanks, mate, for bringing her daughter here. Time to test the theory."

Ripper moved and placed the Element of Time and Space on the tip of Blackwitch's horn, causing a magical spark on it. The Element magically glowed brightly in turquoise color. It then blasted and created the Time Portal before everyone else.

Ripper smirked beneath his mask, "Ah-ha! So, it is true!"

"The Time Portal!" Icy exclaimed in concern.

"Well then, shall we?" Ripper asked amusingly at angry Blackwitch. He then pushed and moved her towards the Time Portal. He smirked while glancing at the enemies, "Tata for now, my old friends. I have a mission to perform in the future."

"Stop him!" Twilight shouted firmly.

Shadow Dragon grunted angrily, "On it! Everyone, charge now!"

Mane Six, Dragon Strike Force and four Students quickly got up and charged straight at Ripper, who is holding the Element of Time and Space while still trying to move and push Blackwitch into the portal. They all jumped and pounced both of them into the portal before it disappeared. Mystic Tao and Dragon Kick gasped in shock and concern of what they saw.

"Aieyah!" Mystic Tao exclaimed in concern.

Dragon Kick gulped in fear, "You could say that again, Uncle. Where did they go?"

"Not where, when," Mystic Tao explained firmly yet concerned, "Whenever they are, we have to find and get them back here soon. The timeline is in grave danger."





Mane Six, Dragon Strike Force, five students and even Ripper were screaming and panicking in fear while whirling around through the long swirling tunnel-like Time Portal. After a long travelling, they were coming towards its end, where they spotted a bright light that blinds them for the moment. They all dropped and slammed to the ground unconsciously. They groaned and moaned in pain after a fall they had.

For the moment later; Mane Six, their friends and even Ripper were slowly regained their conscious while recovering and getting up from the ground. They then looked around of the surroundings. They found themselves at the newly yet unknown modern low-rise residential town-like Town Square, which is located at the shore. It was filled with Unicorns, Pegasi and even Earth Ponies, who were happily hanging out and chatting with each other especially some children were having fun while playing games and activities. They seemed to be more modernized and using some technologies like smartphones, watching tablet pads, streetcar and various kind of technologies. They're almost like the humans from Equestria Girls Realm.

Mane Six, Dragon Strike Force and the students were deeply shocked, surprised and amazed yet disbelieved and confused of what they're looking at. The modernized ponies noticed them. Some of them quickly walked away, out of fear and concern. Others were surprised while chattered and gossiping about them. A few were quite curious and intriguing about them.

"Okay. I did not expect that," Rak commented in surprise.

"Yeah. Something off about this town," Ciel said in concern yet curious. She looked at some ponies talking to the smartphones, using tablet pads, reading comic books or even watching the TV Series. She continued, "And I meant how good and modern the ponies are with technologies and gizmos."

Analyzing the surroundings, Shorty looked surprised, "You could be right, Ciel. I am surprised too."

Laxtinct looked at his whole body before exclaimed, "Whoa! Check us out! We look different!"

Mane Six and their friends looked at themselves. They found their usual colors and bodies looked very different yet unique and modernized as the modern ponies.

Pinkie whistled happily, "Hey, you're right! We look just like those guys!"

"This just keeps getting weirder…" Tailtech muttered in annoyance.

Icy nodded, "I'm with you, Tailtech."

"W-What in Equestria is going on?" Rarity asked in confusion.

"I don't know," Applejack admitted in concern while looking at the surroundings, "But is this Ponyville? It looks very different."

Carefully looking and analyzing the new unknown city and ponies, Twilight became concern and feared of the situation, "One thing for sure, everypony, we're not in Ponyville."

"WHAT?!" Fluttershy, Yona and Melody panicked and screamed in fear while hugging and holding each other.

Holding the Element of Time and Space close to him, Ripper chuckled happily yet pleasingly while trying to get up, "It worked! Perfectly work!"

Noticing Ripper was in front of him, Shadow Dragon groaned, "Ripper! What the hell is going on?! You've got explaining to do!"

Just as Mane Six and their friends were about to apprehend him, Ripper quickly threw down couple of smoke bombs, that ignite and unleash smokescreen. It blinded them for the moment while scaring the ponies to scream and panic in fear.

"No can do, fool! I've got a mission to do!" Ripper exclaimed happily yet madly, "Gotta go now!"

As soon as the smokescreen dispersed, Mane Six and their friends managed to recover and found Ripper was running straight to the crowd, trying to escape. They all quickly chased after him at once. As they continued trotting and chasing after him, the Ultimate Warrior of Death grabbed and thrown couple of ponies at them. They yelped in concern as they quickly responded by saving and putting the civilians safely down on the ground.

Despite got sidetracked, Mane Six and their friends continued chasing after Ripper, who was getting annoyed and irritated that they won't back off. He then found couple of children ahead of them. He quickly dashed in and jumped on them. They all screamed before ran off separately. He managed to grabbed three Earth Ponies while holding the knife on their throat, making the heroes to stop at once.

Ripper chuckled madly, "Yeah! That's right, mate! I have the hostages! You'd better back off if you know what's good for ya!"

"HEY! No fair!" Yona exclaimed angrily.

Rak groaned, "Classic bad guys holding hostages. Don't they ever get tired of doing that?"

"Certainly not," Blazefist said in concern yet frustrated. He then ordered, "Everyone, stand down now. Moved back now!"

As commanded, Mane Six and their friends quickly moved back away from Ripper, though they keep their guard up in case of the latter's deception.

"Good. Good, my little ponies," Ripper mocked amusingly with chuckles.

"Back off now. Or else, the little brats got what they deserve," Ripper mocked amusingly. He then held his knife close to the children's neck, alerting everyone. He smirked beneath his mask, "But I win!"

Just before Ripper could kill the children while the heroes were about to stop him, a light pink colored Pegasus with curved yet combed gentle violet mane and tail with a purple music-note with spikes containing gold crown and white notes cutie mark appeared out of nowhere, taking selfie on her and the captive with her own cellphone. This shocked and confused everyone.

"What up, Pippsqueaks! Guess what I'm taking part now?" The Pegasus Selfie exclaimed happily while looking at the cellphone. She smiled warmly while hugging and holding Ripper, "I'm hanging out with a crazy clown, who actually hugging and playing with the kids!"

Mane Six, Dragon Strike Force and even the students yelped in disbelief while facefaulted to the ground hard, with the shout of 'ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!'. Ripper looked shocked and disbelief of how dense and dumb the Pegasus can really be as she continued filming on herself, him and the hostages.

The Pegasus Selfie continued mocking playfully yet calmly while walking around Ripper, "I mean seriously? What kind of clown holding the knife on the children's neck? He's supposed to cut the cake, not the flesh. That would be very bad idea. I mean, come on, everyone knows Clown Rulebook 101. And I'm looking at the poorest amateur, who doesn't know how to make ponies laugh and happy, just laugh for no reason. Wow. He's gotta be the worst clown I ever met. And you know who always make ponies laugh and smile?"

"Me?" Pinkie and Laxtinct asked curiously.

"Nope! My best friend!" Pegasus Selfie exclaimed happily and proudly, annoying two comedic ponies. She continued, "You know if she were here, she'd be a great teacher to help you out on how to make ponies laugh, not make yourself laugh. That makes you a very sad clown."

Agitated and annoyed by mockery, Ripper snapped angrily while aiming his knife at the Pegasus Selfie, "ENOUGH! What the hell do you think you're doing?!"

Though intimidated, Pegasus Selfie remained calm and firm with a smile while looking at her cellphone, "Wow. Did you see that, Pippsqueaks? The clown doesn't really know what I'm doing. He doesn't know the meaning of 'distraction', so my sister can kick his flank!"

Disbelieved of what Pegasus Selfie has said, Ripper looked behind, where a white Pegasus with multicolored wings has the curved-up spiked hot pink colored mane and tail with streaks of aqua and pink and her cutie mark is a lightning bolt with a crown on its top, charged and rammed him off while letting the children thrown up in midair. Just before Mane Six and their friends could do anything, a lilac-colored unicorn with cerulean blue messy and bushy mane and tail has a blue heart with a light blue button and three pink and purple pins cutie mark arrived at the scene as she quickly and magically levitated the children to the ground safely. She smiled happily before approached and gave a hoof-bump with Pegasus Selfie.

The white Pegasus Athlete engaged a hoof fight with Ripper, who just barely dodged and parried them off while thrust his knife back at her for the moment. Just as she tried to kick on his face, he barely dodged on his back before grabbed it and then throwing her off. He turned and tried to attack her but instead, he got lassoed by a light amber Earth Pony with aqua green colored combed mane and short tail with brown belt with badge and has a gold shield with a teal horseshoe in center with teal heart on its sides.

"Release me now, you mother-!" Ripper got interrupted when the Earth Pony Sheriff scrubbed the soap on his mask. He coughed, "What the hell?!"

"Hey! No swearing on my town!" The Sheriff snapped firmly and sternly, "Calm down now, sir. Or I'll be forced to use lethal to make you!"

Ripper snarled angrily as he managed to break himself free. He pounced and slammed the sheriff to the ground. He grabbed and thrown him straight at the sea if not for the white Pegasus to grab and save him in time. Both lilac Unicorn and pink Pegasus tried to attack him. He screamed and yelled at them. They both yelped in fear while moving away from him. Mane Six, Dragon Strike Force, the students and even their newfound allies surrounded him.

"Yeah! You'd better fear me!" Ripper snapped angrily and firmly, "Anyone else want to try and mess with me?! Coz nopony can ever get the chance to finish the Ultimate Warrior of D-!"

POW! A large pile of bricks was thrown straight at Ripper off and fell into the sea. Mane Six and their allies looked shocked and surprised of what they just saw. Who in the right mind do that?!

The lilac unicorn hissed in concern, "Uh-oh. She did it again."

The Earth Pony Sheriff groaned while facepalmed, "Sunny!"

"Sorry! Sorry! Sorry!" The gentle yet adventurous voice exclaimed. Everyone looked behind, where they found an apricot-colored female Alicorn with magenta-purple mane and tail with rainbow streaks that has a one large pink star with blue trail and two smaller pink stars, who struggled with flying straight before slammed right straight to the ground hard. Her name is Sunny. She groaned in pain, "I'm really sorry, Hitch. I was trying to levitate a brick to knock him unconscious. I didn't mean a lot to throw him off."

Hitch sighed while helping Sunny to get up, "I know. I know. You're getting use to new magic and wing powers. Seriously though? How can you be struggling with them while others handle it well? Care to explain scientifically, Zipp?"

"It comes naturally, sheriff," Zipp the white Pegasus Athlete shrugged in uncertain, "I mean we were born with wings or horns, right, Izzy?"

Izzy the lilac unicorn nodded in agreement, "That's kinda true. It just happened. We sort of got a hang with them."

"Either way. Glad that was over." The Pegasus Selfie said in relief with a sigh, "I thought I'm going to lose my life again."

Zipp smiled while nudged on her a bit, "Don't worry too much, sis. Everything's cool. You did well for distracting him, Pipp." Pipp blushed a bit. She turned to Sunny, "Another day to save."

"Yeah. Just like before," Sunny remarked in agreement yet happily. She gasped in realization, "Oh! We almost forgot about checking on others especially new visitors. Is everyone alright?"

Just as Sunny turned and looked at the civilians, she gasped in surprise and shock. Her friends have the same reaction as hers. They were staring and looking at Mane Six, Dragon Strike Force and even the students. It's as if they're looking at the ghost.

"Uh, why are they looking us like that?" Rak uneasily and nervously asked Tailtech.

Tailtech shrugged a bit, "I have no clue. Hopefully, nothing bad goes wrong."

"Me too," Icy agreed fearfully while hiding behind Tailtech.

Sunny approached to Twilight as she nervously yet uncertain asked, "A-Are you really… Princess Twilight? The Princess of Friendship? Headmare and Founder of School of Friendship? The student and successor of Princess Celestia? The wielder of Element of Magic and Element of Light? The leader of Mane Six? One of greatest heroines among Equestria? Are you really that pony?"

Twilight looked surprised yet uncertain as she remarked, "Um, that was a mouthful. But yes. I am her."

Shocked yet happy to hear it, Sunny squealed out loud, shocking and scaring everyone off. She exclaimed happily, "N-NO WAY! You really are her! The P-Princess Twilight?! Here?! Alive?!" She turned and looked at her friends, "You see and heard that, right?!"

Her friends were surprised and disbelieved yet amazed of what they're looking at. Izzy squealed happily, "Wow. The Princess Twilight and her friends here?! Before our very own eyes?! Who knew?!"

Hitch asked, "H-how is that possible? I thought they're just foal's bedtime story!"

"Well, they're the real deal," Zipp remarked in surprise, "If they're here and alive, this means that the story of pony unity is real."

"Well, seeing and hearing is believing, Zipp," Pipp remarked. She then selfie of herself, Mane Six and their allies. She speaks to the phone in livestream mode, "You hear that? You see it, Pippsqueaks? The story about Pony Unity? The story about Twilight and her friends? They're the real deal! Everything about them is so true! Better believe it, Pipsqueaks. They're really here!"

Looking at the phone's comments and emojis pouring in her livestream mode, Pipp squealed happily before continued talking with it. Sunny and her friends continued chatting and talking with each other about Twilight and her friends.

"Did I just miss something?" Terrorcreep asked in annoyance yet confusion.

"This is just getting weird," Applejack remarked in concern.

"Yeah, I'm with you, Applejack. This is getting us to nowhere," Shadow Dragon said in annoyance. Everyone nodded in agreement. He continued, "We really need to know what the heck's going on."

"Yeah. And we're about to find out," Twilight said firmly. She approached to Sunny. She patted on her shoulder to get the attention. The apricot colored Alicorn turned and looked at her. She asked, "I don't mean to be rude. But who are you? Can you tell us what's really going on?"

Sunny giggled a bit, "Sorry. We just got so excited to find out that you and your friends here and alive at our home and also in the future!"

"Yeah… I can see that but-!" Twilight got interrupted as she and her friends realized of what Sunny has said. She asked, "Wait! 'Alive'?! 'Future'?! What do you mean by that?"

Seeing her favorite idols and heroes were completely confused, Sunny and her friends have to explained to them of what's going on. She answered calmly, "I think it's best that I show you."





Mane Six, Dragon Strike Force and their students followed Sunny's team as the former led and guided them out of the Maretime Bay while heading straight to the newly rebuilt lighthouse-like resident, which was located on a peninsula at the edge of the town. At the same time, Sunny and her friends introduced themselves to Mane Six and their allies, who did the same for them too, though they were surprised that modern ponies were aware of them so much.

Upon arriving to their destination, they all entered the apricot Alicorn's home. They went to the research basement, which is filled with four bookshelves, ancient artifacts and items, old documents, broken statues and so on.

"Here we are," Sunny said warmly. Approaching to the table which was filled with archaeology works, she picked and passed them to Twilight, "These are my father's works. I thought you guys might want to see it."

Everyone awed and remarked in amazement and surprise. Twilight asked, "So, what was your father researching on?"

"You and your friends…" Sunny answered calmly yet concerned. Mane Six and their friends looked shocked yet confused and concern. She continued, "Yeah. My dad has been working and researching to find the proof that all of you, your history and even the 'pony unity' are real and true. With you all here, it proves that my dad was right all along. You guys are real and now in our future."

"Yeah. That was like right before our pony kind got split into three tribes again," Hitch teased nervously and uneasily. Everyone looked at him. Sunny's friends were annoyed while Mane Six and their friends were in deep and shock. He chuckled a bit, "Ironic, right?"

"That was a bad joke, Hitch," Izzy commented bluntly, making Hitch annoyed.

Zipp nodded, "Seriously bad idea to bring that up, sheriff. You're scaring them."

Hitch groaned, "My bad…"

Mane Six and their friends couldn't believe in their eyes and ears of what they have just found out. Even Sunny's team agreed with her about it as well. They all looked through the archaeology and research work. Almost every artifact, item and even books about themselves were actually true.

"Wow… T-This is something." Rainbow remarked in surprise.

"So, we really got time-travel to the future…" Shorty said in shock and concern. He sighed, "Damn it…"

Fluttershy nodded sadly while looking at her ancient animal whistle, "I can't believe that we're in the future. That's something I wasn't expecting of."

"So, everything and everyone we know is in ancient past?" Rarity asked in disbelief and concern. Everyone especially Sunny's Team kept silent while looking away. She gasped in concern, "Sweet Celestia…"

"T-This is unbelievable." Twilight commented in disbelief. While looking at the ancient map, she sighed, "It's like Starlight and Seekcurse travelling through time all over again."

"No kidding. No thanks to Ripper using the Element of Time and Space." Shadow Dragon said sternly yet angry. He then approached and patted Twilight's back, "On the bright side, we're not in any bad alternate timelines again."

After thinking of what her husband has said, Twilight sighed, "I supposed this beats the alternatives. At least, I know that there's no great evil or villain destroying this world yet."

Sunny approached to Twilight and Shadow Dragon as she spoke, "I'm really sorry. I know this isn't something you're not expecting but if there's anything you need, we would like to help."

"We do?" Sunny's friends asked in surprise.

"I appreciate that, Sunny," Twilight said in relief as she turned and looked at Sunny, "But still, do you know what happened and why three pony kind got separated?"

Sunny sighed, "For that case, I'm not very sure, Princess Twilight. All I know is that ever since three pony tribes got separated, they have lost their Unicorn Magic and Flying Magic."

"Again?" Applejack asked in disbelief, along with her friends groaned in annoyance and disbelief. She continued, "Don't tell me it's Tirek again."

"Or Queen Chrysalis?" Rarity asked fearfully, making Shorty held her close to him.

Pinkie yelped in concern, "Not the Dark Lord and his Dark Mystic Ponies!"

"Not any of them. No need to worry about them since both Dark Lord and the Goat Emperor's Legion of Doom are gone for good," Izzy assured them with a sigh.

"Well, three pony tribes became feared and paranoid of each other. We make stories about each other for being scary boogie monsters," Hitch added, prompting Sunny to nudge him on his shoulder. He hissed, "Too much?"

Sunny groaned, "Ya think?"

"Well, if that is true, then how come three pony kinds are together again? And how did you all get the magic back?" Aqua asked curiously.

Saber nodded in agreement, "Yeah. Did something happen here?"

"Yeah. Happened three months ago. Sunny helped brought both back the magic and the unity to ponies," Zipp said proudly while flapped her wings a bit. She giggled a bit, "We owe it to her a lot."

Izzy nodded happily before hugged and held Sunny close to her, "And don't forget the most important thing – we became very close and best friends ever!"

Pipp then showed her cellphone for Mane Six and their friends to look through the picture gallery about her and her friends through both adventures and events they have been through. She smiled, "I even have the proof here too! We're definitely the BFFs."

"Well, technically, I was her foalhood and best friend first. She was after all an Earth Pony," Hitch corrected calmly. His friends slyly looked at him. He sighed, "But if not for her, I wouldn't open my eyes and see the world especially making new friends with them too."

Sunny smiled with a blush, "T-Thanks, everypony. But I couldn't have done it without my friends." Her friends smiled warmly and proudly for her to say that. She then turned and looked at Mane Six and their friends. She continued, "But of course, you and your friends are my inspiration and role models. We were able to work and achieve together to unite all three pony kinds. It wasn't easy but we managed to get it through."

Mane Six and their allies were surprised and amazed of what they have learned of Sunny and her friends' journey to become friends and unite three tribes together as one.

Melody awed happily, "That is so sweet."

Rak whistled, "Guess the legacy of Princess Twilight lives on."

"Yona likes happy ending!" Yona exclaimed happily, "Just like Headmare Twilight!"

Ciel hummed thoughtfully, "You know, Yona, you could be right. Like Twilight, Sunny did become an Alicorn because she did something amazing and incredible like making peace and uniting three pony tribes as one."

Giving some thoughts of what Ciel has said, Twilight couldn't help but smile, "Ciel's right. I'd say you guys did well for this. Sunny, you'd make a fine princess for this land."

"Princess?" Sunny asked in surprise. Twilight nodded. She hummed in concern, "I-I'd never thought of that."

"Wait! Alicorns can be princesses? As in a royalty?" Pipp asked in surprised yet curious tone. Twilight nodded in confirmation. She hummed amusingly, "Mom would flip if she finds out about this."

Zipp giggled a bit, "Yeah, definitely. And she just found her new crown to wear from last month."

"Sunny the Princess of Equestria? Who knew?" Hitch remarked. He chuckled softly, "She always does want to become one when she was a kid."

"Really? Does she become some kind of heroine like Princess Twilight?" Izzy asked hopefully.

Hitch smirked, "Definitely. She's quite supportive and fan of Princess Twilight and her friends a lot. She's also a fan of Shadow Dragon-Twilight Sparkle Shipping too. She even wrote tons of stories about them. She really believed in Magic of Friendship."

Almost everyone was intrigued as they approached and talked with Sunny's friends about her being the new Princess of Equestria. Hearing what her friends have said about her, Sunny became scared, worried and uneasy about her being Princess. For all of her life, she has no idea of how to be a princess or even lead and govern the land. All she ever wants is to prove that her father's archaeology work is true, not to become a leader of Equestria.

While listening to the modern ponies, Twilight noticed Sunny's scared and worried looks. She has seen this multiple times before. She had the feeling that the young Alicorn might be scared and worried about her new role.

Approaching to Sunny, Twilight patted her in comfort while asking her, "Sunny, are you alright?"

Sunny yelped and panicked, "I-I'm fine! I'm fine! Why wouldn't I'd be? I mean it's not like it has something to with me being princess has me worked up for nothing?! Right?!"

Seeing Sunny's reaction has confirmed Twilight's suspicious and concern that the young Alicorn's indeed scared and worried about her new role. It would be best to help her to deal with it while she's still around.

Clearing his throat to get everyone's attention, Blazefist spoke firmly, "Guys, I don't mean to be rude. But we have other things to be concern of."

Blackwitch nodded firmly and seriously, "Yeah. Like finding and dealing with Ripper, and also get the Element of Time and Space."

"Ripper?" Hitch asked in confusion, "Who's that?"

After thinking of the name carefully, Izzy gasped in fear, "Oh no! I know this one! He's the boogie pony that every unicorn foal including me afraid of! He's the worst and scary Earth Pony that many unicorns afraid of." Everyone looked at her, with concern and feared looks. She continued, "The story goes with whenever anyone is alone in the dark alley, a mysterious bird-like masked pony appeared out of nowhere and slaughtered you at sight without reasons. And the worse about him is he eats pony flesh!"

Everyone yelped in fear and concern, even Hitch yelled while hiding behind the barrel. He quivered in fear, "Dang it! Hearing that story really got me scared out of my pants!"

Blazefist sighed while crossed his hooves, "Well, you almost got it right, Izzy. But some got a mixed-up. One, Ripper is not only a Mystic Earth Pony, but also a dangerous and terrifying among the Ultimate Warriors. He's no cannibal but a real racist and serial killer ass."

"Wow. Freaky…" Zipp commented in shock. She hummed thoughtfully, "I don't think any of pony can handle and deal with Mystic Ponies like him."

Pipp nodded fearfully, "Tell me about it. I almost lost my life to him."

Rainbow groaned in disbelief, "Didn't think that someone like Ripper could be a boogie pony."

"Trust me, Dash. He's somepony you don't want to mess with," Aqua said seriously and firmly. She sighed firmly, "But still, we have to find and stop him before he does some serious damage to this future."

"I'm with Aqua. But where do we start?" Saber asked firmly, "He was thrown into the sea."

Sunny sighed in shame, "Sorry."

"It's alright, Sunny. We'll get him and the Element too," Shadow Dragon said determinedly. He turSned sand looked at Blackwitch, "Blackwitch, do you think you can still access and use it again like just now?"

Blackwitch looked uneasy yet nervous and worried before spoke, "It might be tricky. I have never used that power before." Her classmate especially Melody noticed on her scared looks, which was rare of her to have expression. She continued, "I'll try."

"Good to hear," Shadow Dragon said in relief, "We'd better move out now."

"I know you guys are worried about stopping Ripper and getting back home but it wouldn't hurt to hang out with us and check this place out," Izzy suggested happily. She shrugged happily, "And who knows? We might learn something from each other."

Pinkie awed happily, "Can we hang around for a while?"

Laxtinct nodded, "I kinda with Pinkie. It wouldn't hurt to look around here."

"Forget it, idiots," Terrorcreep said sternly, annoyed the comedic ponies. He continued, "In case if you hadn't noticed, we have a mission to deal with. We cannot afford the luxury to enjoy roaming around in the future."

Shorty nodded thoughtfully, "Terrorcreep does have the point. If we learn too much of future or even dare to bring one back, it might cause the time paradox."

"Bummer…" Izzy, Pinkie, Laxtinct and even Melody grumbled.

"Maybe not…" Tailtech said thoughtfully. Everyone looked at him. He explained, "Guys, if we do a little research, we might uncover the truth behind the history of how three tribes split up and lost their magic again. And who knows? We might change the future too."

Almost all of Dragon Strike Force and Mane Six were about to protest it until Fluttershy spoke, "I think it's a great idea." Everyone was disbelieved by her support. She spoke, "Tailtech's right. If we learn more about what really happen, we might able to change it and make things better for the modern world. I rather have them be friends for a long time than break up after our era. I don't want that kind of world for this timeline."

"Yeah. That's a great idea," Laxtinct said happily. He held Terrorcreep close to him as he slyly smirked at him, "You can't say 'no' to her, Batcreep."

Rainbow nodded playfully, "Yup. No one can say 'no' to Fluttershy."

Terrorcreep glared at Laxtinct and Rainbow, who nervously moved away. Looking at his innocent wife's looks, he sighed in disbelief but with a gentle smile, "Ever the gentle again. Even for this era."

Fluttershy gasped hopefully, "Does this mean?"

Twilight nodded with a smile, "We'll learn and find out more about this world's history." She turned and looked at Sunny and her friends. She spoke, "In fact, the three tribes' magical crystals that you guys found and used could be the key to help us prevent the possible future disaster especially today."

Sunny and her friends gasped in surprise. She asked, "So, you're saying that you might able to change our time era?"

"Possibly…" Twilight answered in concern. She sighed, "But there's no guarantee that it might happen. But we will try with everything we have. Right, everyone?"

Though they worried about learning and possible changing future, everyone happily agreed and supported of the idea as they're willing to help.

Zipp hummed thoughtfully, "But once you guys got the answer about our history, there might be no guarantee of how it goes. But hopefully, our timeline doesn't turn into worse kind."

Hitch groaned in fear, "I hope not."

"Wow. Thanks, everypony," Izzy said happily.

Pipp squealed happily, "This is incredible! Everyone will love it!"

"But if we got what we need," Yona asked in concern, "How we get back to the past?"

Blackwitch groaned, "We've just explained, Yona. The Element of Time and Space is the only thing that help us get back here."

Yona yelped before giggled uneasily, "Sorry, Yona forgets. Yona confused about Elements."

"Either way, we should get started," Saber suggested firmly and seriously, "So, where do we start? And how should we handle the situation?"

Twilight hummed thoughtfully, "We split into five groups. Sunny and her friends will show us around their hometown and help us learn more about their history and also magical crystals. And at the same time, we keep an eye out for Ripper. No doubt that he's trying to do some harm to this world. When you do find him, call out. We have to work together to beat him. That guy's Ultimate Warrior."

Rainbow cheered, "I'm so in!"

Shadow Dragon nodded firmly, "I approve the plan, Twilight. You're getting good with strategies."

Twilight smiled proudly, "I learned from the best. Particularly, Lord Azure and his Strategist Five."

"Well then, we should get started," Sunny said firmly with pride. She held her hoof out for her friends to hoof-bump. She shouted, "Hooves-to-Hearts!"

"Hooves-to-Hearts!" Hitch, Izzy, Zipp and Pipp exclaimed happily.

"Hooves-to-Hearts?" Ciel asked in surprise, "Some kind of battle cry? That's something my big brother and his friends would do."

Izzy giggled, "I wouldn't say 'battle cry'. It's more like a happy catchphrase. To show that we're off to the next adventure."

Terrorcreep and Rainbow groaned in disgust, "Lame…"

"I think it's cute," Fluttershy said happily, "Hooves-to-Hearts. I liked it."

As Twilight explained about her plans, Blackwitch noticed something on the table. She slowly approached to the table, which has books and documents. She moved them aside, where she read a document called 'The Dark Truth of Mystic Demon'. This made her uneasy and worried about it.





Somewhere in middle of ocean, something or somepony emerged out from the water, with the gasp of air. Ripper coughed out loud as he has survived both being thrown and drowned in the sea. He breathed calmly yet firmly before swimming towards the beach. Reaching to the land, he dropped and landed on the ground as he panted heavily and exhaustingly.

"Damn that bloody Alicorn! I almost died from drowning!" Ripper grumbled angrily. He sighed calmly before looking at the Element of Time and Space. He smirked beneath his mask, "No matter. Since I'm here, I should start the mission to find out more about our kinds' fate and history. I have to ensure my master's and our kind's future is secured."

Ripper shook his whole body firmly, drying himself out. He then headed off to begin his mission now.





While Izzy, Zipp and Pipp led the rest of their friends to both Zephyr Heights and Bridlewood with the search; Sunny and Hitch guide Twilight, Blazefist, Shadow Dragon, Terrorcreep, Blackwitch, Yona and Rak through the Maretime Bay. They were heading straight to Canterlogic Headquarter, which might have the information about Earth Pony Magical Crystal and also history of how Earth Pony separated from Pegasi and Unicorn Tribe.

Walking through the Maretime Bay, the modern ponies were looking at Twilight and her friends, with awe of surprise and chattering happily about them. Some of them took pictures of them. Others like fans and children approached and asked them for autographs and even selfies, making the heroes uneasy and nervous. A few also talked and questioned them about their relationships, history and adventures.

Looked around of his surroundings, Shadow Dragon commented, "It's so hard to believe that we're in the future."

"Well, if I have to be honest, meeting and seeing you here is hardest thing to believe! This is the best of my life!" Hitch exclaimed happily. Everyone looked at him in surprise. Sunny smirked slyly and amusingly. Blushed in red, he cleared his throat, "Sorry. I always watched the television about you guys especially my favorites are Commander Blazefist and Master Shadow Dragon! You guys are the best!"

Blazefist scoffed, "That's something. Never thought a sheriff like you would be our biggest fan."

"Well, it's true. Still…" Hitch admitted before giving some thoughts about the Earth Pony Tribe History and conversation with Sunny. He sighed, "I feel bad for ignoring and berating Sunny for believing in foalhood's stories."

"Hitch, come on, I'm not mad about that," Sunny said calmly while looking at her foalhood friend. She continued, "Besides, you were right about need a proof that three tribes were friends. And I got them."

Twilight giggled a bit, "Plus, with all of us here, it added more proof that our timeline is aligned with the future."

"Cheer up, kid. Everyone doesn't easily believe in this kind of story." Shadow Dragon said calmly while comforting Hitch, "I mean Mystic Ponies were old pony's tale, right?"

"Yeah. Point taken." Hitch nodded understandingly.

Sunny looked at Rak and Yona while smiled happily, "Wow. I never thought I'd see a yak and dragon like you two in real life!"

Hitch nodded, "Yeah. Surprisingly, we never actually encounter any of them so far."

"R-Really?" Rak asked in surprise. Sunny nodded. He flustered in red, "W-Wow. I didn't expect that. Seriously. No one has ever comment me that."

Yona scoffed, "Yeah. But Ponies think Yaks are tough and strong but also good at friends, right?"

"Well, we don't know that much since the pony tribes split and lost contact with other creatures too," Sunny admitted in concern. Yona and Rak sighed. She smiled, "But you two are great couple."

Rak and Yona blushed and flustered in red, "We're not a couple! We're just friends."

Blackwitch groaned, "Oh brother…"

"Out of curious, were there any Mystic Ponies here?" Blazefist asked calmly yet firmly, "We didn't reveal ourselves until Dark Mystic Ponies invade the Equestria."

"Excluding you guys?" Hitch asked curiously. Everyone nodded firmly and calmly. He sighed, "Nope. There were none."

"Really? You sure nopony can do some Elemental Tricks?" Twilight asked curiously.

Sunny sighed, "Well, no. Never seen anypony can use Elemental Power or even looked very young. Most of us thought about Mystic Ponies to be a myth, but I didn't. I have a feeling that we might come across to them."

Hitch scoffed, "Well, I just hope we don't have to come across with demons. They scared the heck out of me."

"Really?" Sunny asked teasingly, "I thought you liked heroes beat them."

"Beat them, yes. But seeing the Demons do something scary is something I can't stand the most. Okay?"

"Whatever you say, Hitch."

Terrorcreep chuckled amusingly, "I'm actually kinda surprised that you're the only guy joined the girls' club. More makeup and lipstick, pony girl?"

"Hey! That wasn't funny!" Hitch exclaimed angrily yet annoyingly.

Sunny giggled a bit, "I think it was. After all, you're just the only guy in our team."

Hitch groaned, "Not funny."

"STOP! THIEF!"

Sunny, Hitch and Twilight's group yelped in surprise. And just before they could react, something moved very fast to bypass them. And at the same time, another pony screamed and panicked in fear before rammed and knocked on them to the ground. They all groaned in pain while regaining their conscious. They all found a red Earth Pony with a combed blond mane and short tail with a purple beet with green leaves cutie mark grumbled and muttered angrily.

"What hit us?" Terrorcreep grumbled in pain.

Hitch recognized the red Earth Pony as he demanded, "Sprout?! What are you doing?!"

Sprout groaned in pain while rubbing his head, "What does it looks like? Getting the thief! I'm gonna get embarrassed for this!" He screamed angrily, "Come back here, you little thief!"

Sprout screamed angrily before ran off and chased after a 'thief'. While Twilight's group was confused and uncertain, Hitch and Sunny looked worry and concerned about him.

"What just happened?" Rak asked in confusion.

"Not this again," Hitch grumbled, "We have to stop him before he gets himself more into trouble. We have to go now!"

Everyone quickly got up at once before running and giving chase after Sprout, who is still chasing after the thief. The old-ragged hooded thief swiftly and quickly dodged and evaded the ponies, who were just got rammed and knocked off by Sprout.

Sunny asked, "Remind me why you just demoted him?"

Hitch sighed in annoyance, "His mom pleaded me not to send him to jail or even fired him. Demotion is a better option to teach him a lesson."

"Clearly, it's not."

"Can we argue after we stop him?"

"Wanna tell us of what the heck's going on?" Shadow Dragon asked in annoyance.

Hitch sighed, "Sprout was my friend and deputy sheriff. But instead of listening to me, he made ponies scared and panicked, started the war and almost got everyone killed! That knucklehead!"

"I'm kinda surprise that you didn't fire him," Blazefist commented.

Hitch groaned, "His mom insisted me not to fire and send him to jail. So, I demoted him to perform the community service while still working as police officer. His mom should have kept an eye on him more!"

Shadow Dragon whistled, "Wow. And I thought Tech was a mamma's boy but this guy takes the cake."

Sprout screamed angrily as he continued chase after the thief while shouting and cursing angrily at her for messing with him. While running down the street, the thief managed to flap the wings before flew up to the ice-cream shop building. He grumbled angrily and annoyingly as he quicky head to the side building, where he climbed fire escape ladder to top. Upon arriving to the top, he found the hooded thief standing with the flock of pigeons. He gulped in fear, worrying what it's gonna happen next. She suddenly created a magical spark to scared the flock. They flew straight at him, scaring and throwing him on top level's fire escape ladder balcony. He groaned in pain.

The hooded thief quickly headed off and dived down before landed on the alley. Before she could do anything, she found herself surrounded by Hitch, Sunny and Twilight's group. She groaned angrily as she has nowhere to run. Sprout grumbled angrily as he arrived at the scene from climbing down the fire escape ladder.

Sprout panted, "I-I almost had her!"

"Sure you did," Hitch mocked. He turned and looked at the hooded thief, "Okay, kid. Let's do this easy. No need to start the fight."

Just as Hitch tried to approach, the hooded thief hissed angrily while backed to the corner. She quickly threw the bag at Hitch to back off. She almost acted like a wildcat, surprising the ponies.

"Okay. Freaky," Sprout commented, "I'd say we tranquilized her!"

"No! We're not going to do that! You're scaring her, Sprout!" Sunny said firmly. Everyone looked at her with surprise yet concerned looks. She suggested, "I might have a better way."

Just as Sunny approached to the hooded thief, the latter hissed angrily while still backing away from her. Instead of worried and scared, the apricot Alicorn picked up an apple before approached to her. She then knelt down before her while showing an apple before her.

"It's okay. You can take the apple," Sunny suggested calmly and gently.

Surprised by her gesture, the hooded thief approached towards Sunny. She quickly swiped the apple. She then ate it quickly as if she hasn't eaten for days. The Alicorn picked up some fruits for her to eat. The thief quickly picked and ate them at once.

Sunny sighed, "Poor thing. She must be very hungry. With no money, she has no choice but to steal it."

"Aw come on! You can't be serious!" Sprout exclaimed angrily and annoyingly. He groaned, "How can you feel sorry for a thief?!"

"Imagine if you were one, jerk," Shadow Dragon remarked with a snarl, scaring Sprout.

"I agree with Shadow Dragon. You should be careful of what you said, officer," Twilight said dryly, making Sprout worried. She approached to Sunny, "You did the right thing."

Sunny smiled and nodded for Twilight's appreciation. She looked at the thief, who has finished her food before giving out a burp. She giggled a bit, making the thief blushed a bit.

"Looks like you're full. May I put down your hood?" Sunny asked calmly. The hooded thief looked hesitated and worried. She continued, "It's okay. I'm not gonna hurt you. I just want to help."

After carefully consideration, the hooded thief nodded a bit. Sunny smiled in relief as she helped pull down the hood, revealing her true face. Everyone gasped. While Hitch and Sprout looked scared and feared, Sunny and Twilight's Group were surprised of what they're looking at. The hooded thief revealed to be a 12-years-old of a familiar friend.

"Wow! That's a nasty and ugly monster I ever seen!" Sprout remarked amusingly with laughter. This prompted Yona and Rak to whacked his head. He yelped in pain, "OW! What did I do?!"

"Nasty! You pony say very nasty and rude!" Yona scolded angrily.

"Yeah. Shame on you to call a kid 'monster'." Rak remarked angrily. He hummed thoughtfully, "Still though, I'm surprise to actually meet a pony hybrid. This is a first."

"I don't believe it…" Shadow Dragon said in surprise.

"Flare Tiger?" Twilight asked in surprise. Everyone looked at her. She continued asking, "Is that really you?"

"F-Flare… T-Tiger…" Kid Flare Tiger asked in confusion yet scared, "I-Is that my name? Who are you?"

Everyone was surprised yet confused by Kid Flare Tiger's question. Twilight and her friends couldn't believe that she didn't recognize them while Sunny's team were uncertain of what's really going on.

Terrorcreep hummed thoughtfully, "She's the same pony we used to know. She doesn't know about us. But I have no doubt that she's the younger self of our Time Travel friend."

Blazefist nodded in agreement, "I think you're right, TC. But what's she doing here?"

"Good question." Shadow Dragon agreed in concern. While giving some thoughts about Flare Tiger and her connection to Element of Time and Space, he asked, "Could this be…"

"Uh, guys," Sunny called while patting Kid Flare Tiger's head. She continued, "You know her?"

Shadow Dragon sighed, "It's a long story. But best to bring her along."

Realizing and knowing what her husband's thinking, Twilight nodded, "I agreed with him. I believe she might be key to stop Ripper from using the Element of Time and Space."

Using her magic powers to sense in the future, Blackwitch nodded, "Yes. We need her for this."

Sunny's group were confused and uncertain while their own friends by Shadow Dragon and Twilight's thinking. But nevertheless, they went along with their plans that can help them to change the future for better.





Izzy was leading and guiding Applejack, Pinkie, Saber, Icy, Laxtinct and even Melody to Bridlewood. They were heading straight to Crystal Tearoom, where Alphabittle was residing and has possible information that involved with unicorn history and magical crystal.

During their travelling through the corridor of forest trees, Applejack's group awed in amazement and surprised to see unicorn ponies living in the forest. They have never expected them to live in such rural and forest area because the unicorns they know always lived in the capital cities.

Laxtinct whistled, "Wow. I always though unicorns used to live in city, not in the woods. This is unexpected…"

Icy nodded in agreement, "Yeah. Never thought I would see this."

"What do you mean?" Izzy asked in confusion.

"In our time, unicorns are kinda nobles and rich ponies to live in metropolitan or capital cities." Saber explained calmly. Izzy looked surprised. He then asked, "When did this happen again?"

Izzy shrugged a bit, "It's kinda a long time ago when our ancestors lost the magic."

Pinkie awed in concern, "Must be bummer to have no magic for a long time. I feel sorry for you."

"Yeah. I know that feeling," Melody agreed in fear. She then looked at her necklace, "Just imagine if I've lost mine, I may never get back home and see my sisters again. Or worse, can't do anything good."

"Aw… You poor thing…" Izzy said sympathetically while patted Melody's mane. She then smiled warmly, "It may be so, but it never bothers me. I don't always need magic to be myself coz I am me."

Everyone was amazed by Izzy's optimism. Icy remarked, "Wow. You're quite an optimistic, aren't ya?"

"That's me. Glow up is my middle name," Izzy commented happily, "Plus, I've made some greatest and best friends I ever had in my life. Sunny is the first and real best friend I make."

Pinkie awed happily while holding Applejack close to her, "Applejack and I felt the same too! Did you know she and Princess Twilight are like sisters?"

Izzy gasped in surprise, "No way! Really!"

Applejack nodded proudly with a smile, "It's true. Whenever we have the problem, we go to her. I mostly close to her because I helped her get settle down at Ponyville and learn more what we do. So, I'm thinking that you and Sunny must have been quite good friends."

Izzy giggled happily, "You have no idea. Say wanna try my gigs and stuffs? You're gonna love it. Plus, I can make some solo song!"

"Ooh! Can you do 'Fit Right In'?!" Pinkie asked happily.

Izzy smiled, "Sure. Can you do the 'One Small Thing' too? Maybe we can do duet too!"

Pinkie giggled, "You read my mind!"

As Izzy was singing 'Fit Right In', Pinkie joined in with her 'One Small Thing' Song. Applejack's team was in disbelief and shocked of how much similar they really are, though Laxtinct hummed happily while listening to their song.

Applejack groaned, "Great. Another random pony..."

"Could be worse," Icy joked.

"Izzy!" Applejack called. Izzy looked at her. She asked, "How far is Alphabittle's café is?"

"Not far." Izzy answered calmly. Looking at the front, she gasped happily, "Ooh! We're here!"

Everyone looked up and found a large tree café-like with the signage called 'Crystal Tearoom'. Just as they entered the café, they found unicorns chatting with some of Earth Ponies and Pegasi while having cup of tea or coffee to drink. They even listen to Beatnik Pony, who was reciting the poem in both beat yet emo style.

Izzy hummed happily, "Looks like the café became much more cheerful than before. Being gloomy is no fun."

Pinkie groaned, "Gloomy is my nemesis…"

"So, where's Alphabittle?" Saber asked calmly.

"At the counter," Izzy said happily while pointed at the beverage counter, where a grayish muscular Unicorn with white spiky mane and short tail, has sideburns and goatee on his face and his cutie mark is teapot. She and her friends approached him. She greeted happily, "Hi, Alphabittle!"

Alphabittle looked surprised as he greeted her, "Oh Hey, Izzy. Nice to see you come back again." He then noticed Applejack's team. He asked, "New friends of yours?"

Izzy nodded happily, "Yup. And you won't believe this but they're from the past. These are Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Saber Dragoon, Laxtinct, Icy and little Melody Bubbles!"

"What?! The Legendary Heroes of Equestria and Mystic?!" Alphabittle asked in disbelief and shocked. Izzy nodded. He laughed out loud, "Ha! You must be joking! How can these ponies be them? I don't believe it."

"Like you don't believe that Sunny is the winner?" Izzy asked teasingly, making Alphabittle was annoyed about losing to her. She smiled, "I'm telling you. It's really them. Would I lie to you?"

"Once. You led Earth Ponies and Pegasi here to get the Magical Unicorn Crystal from me," Alphabittle answered dryly while pointing at the Unicorn Magical Crystal. He continued, "And of course, Sunny owed me a rematch. I still don't believe she can beat me. Nopony beats me in Ultimate Challenge! Nopony!"

"Sore loser, much?" Laxtinct whispered to Saber, who nodded a bit.

Izzy sighed, "I can't believe you're still upset of that."

Alphabittle scoffed while crossed his arms, "I'm not upset. Just didn't believe that she's the winner. I still want a rematch."

"Is there anything we can change your mind, Mr. Alphabittle?" Applejack asked.

Alphabittle hummed thoughtfully, "Well, I might have a thing or two to find out how true you ponies are." He gave his confident smirk, "Challenge me."

"Wait! Serious?"

"All you got to do is beat me in the game. Then, I'll believe that you are them. Think you can handle it?"

Applejack hummed in concern, "I don't know."

"Do it. If you beat him in his game, Alphabittle might help us with your mission," Izzy insisted calmly.

"She does have the point," Pinkie said happily, "I mean he did issue a challenge."

Applejack sighed, "Fine. We accept it."

"Very good. Bring forth the Ultimate Challenge!" Alphabittle called out loud yet dramatic.

The ceiling's spotlight lighted up and aimed its lighting on the dancing arcade game machine-like contraption, made of wood with cocky Alphabittle's artwork wearing sunglass on top of flames prop and its signage called 'Just Prance'.

"A dancing game? Seriously?" Saber asked in disbelief.

"Wee! I love it!" Melody cheered happily.

"Yes. Yes, it is. And I'm always the best at it," Alphabittle said confidently. He smirked slyly yet cockily while glancing at Saber and his friends. He asked cockily, "What's the matter? Scared?"

"No. Not really." Saber protested, "Just thought something scary and fierce."

"I wouldn't go that far." Alphabittle remarked playfully, "So are we in or what?"

Applejack looked at Pinkie as she asked, "Think you can handle it, Pinkie?"

Pinkie smirked while stretched herself out, "Oh yeah! Bring it on!"

Alphabittle chuckled a bit, "I'm going to win this one."

A few moments later…

Alphabittle was in disbelief and shocked as he remarked, "I've lost?! Again?!"

He then looked up while looking at Pinkie, who still dancing happily and wildly on the dancing arcade game machine. Everyone cheered for her.

"She really is the legendary Pinkie Pie. The best Party Pony and also the 'The Jinx' too!" Alphabittle exclaimed in shock and disbelief. Everyone looked at him. He yelped, "Please, don't jinx me!"

"The Jinx?" Icy asked in confusion, "Am I missing something?"

Izzy giggled uneasily, "Well, since the day our ancestors lost the magic, the unicorns became superstitious and scared of the jinxes. They all thought Discord to be responsible of jinxing ponies because of his unnatural ability. He was called as 'Father of Jinxes'. So, anyone possess unusual ability as his are considered to be 'The Jinx' like Pinkie Pie." Pinkie was offended and annoyed. She cleared her throat, "Anypony said any forbidden words like 'magic', 'feather', 'wing' and 'mayonnaise' will be cursed with jinx. Unicorns have to do the ritual to ward off the jinx and appease Discord not to do that."

"You're kidding me?!" Laxtinct asked in disbelief.

Pinkie groaned, "That was meanie! Sure, I do unusual stuffs. But that doesn't mean I'm with Discord. He did it for chaos while I did it for party."

"Speak for yourself," Alphabittle grumbled in fear. He sighed, "Okay, what do you need? Pretty sure you didn't come here for a tea or chatty."

Applejack pointed at the Unicorn Magic Crystal, "That. And also tell us more about how you ponies lose your unicorn magic in the first place."

"Figures. I have the feeling that you might look for the crystal." Alphabittle scoffed while levitating and passing the Unicorn Magic Crystal to Applejack. He sighed, "As for how our ancestors lost the magic, it's a mystery and unknown."

"Why is that?" Melody asked in confusion.

Alphabittle looked serious and worried as he continued explanation, "That's because no one really knows what happen. The history only claimed that the last Princess of Equestria fought and battled a Dark Warlord from destroying the Equestria. By doing so, she made an ultimate sacrifice to defeat him. And the next thing we know is that we suddenly lost our magic. And the rest is history of how we unicorns became distrustful of others."

Everyone was in shock and surprised of Alphabittle's history. Icy hissed, "That's very sad. I'm very sorry, Alphabittle. Is it the Dark Mystic Pony?"

"I don't know." Alphabittle admitted, "But I do know is that this Warlord is very powerful and almost destroyed almost everything if not for the last Princess of Equestria. I hope this information can help you out."

Applejack nodded, "Much appreciated. Mind if we take this crystal along?"

Alphabittle nodded warmly, "Sure. Take very good care of the crystal. It's very priceless and an important reminder to me."

"Really?" Izzy asked in surprise, "Like what?"

Alphabittle smiled, "To have friends like yours, Izzy. Don't you agree?"

Looking at Applejack and her friends, and also recalling the adventure she has with Sunny and her friends; Izzy smiled warmly, "Yeah, I do."

Applejack's Team turned and exited out of the Crystal Tearoom. However; Ripper, under the guise of using brown-colored cowl to cover his face and avoid being found, entered the café. He approached to Alphabittle, who has just returned to the counter for preparing the drinks for his next customers.

"Oh. Hello there," Alphabittle greeted warmly yet calmly, "What can I get for ya?"

Looking at the gray unicorn, Ripper hissed calmly, "Information… Regarding with the legends and myths behind Mystic Ponies and their dark counterparts… Tell me more about them…"

Alphabittle looked suspicious yet worried and uneasy about the pony. He has the feeling that he's a troublemaker. He'd better deal with him soon.





Zipp and Pipp were leading Rarity, Fluttershy, Rainbow, Aqua, Shorty, Tailtech and Ciel to Zephyr Heights – new homeland of Pegasi now. They travelled through the gorge, followed by climbing or flying up to the top of mountains. They have arrived at the modernized metropolitan-like capital city, filled with shopping lots, restaurants, theater, stadiums and so on that almost like human's capital city. Looking at new city has surprised and amazed Rarity's team a lot.

"Wow… T-This is nothing like our home," Rainbow remarked in surprise.

Aqua agreed, "Or even mine…"

Rarity awed in amazement, "T-This is most spectacular and beautiful capital city I ever seen." She sighed happily, "Reminds me so much of Manehattan. I wonder if it's still existed in this timeline."

"I can't believe that Pegasi are not living in some kind of Canterlot City," Fluttershy commented. She turned and looked at Zipp and Pipp. She asked, "May I know why this city was called by 'Zephyr Heights'?"

Zipp nodded calmly as she explained, "I can do that. In ancient history, the story goes on with our ancestors finding a new home after they have lost their flight magic and also their original homeland – Cloudsdale. They came across a ruined capital city, which was kinda badly damaged and abandoned during the war. They rebuilt it and make it into a new home called 'Zephyr Heights'. Named after the words of 'breeze' and 'heights' for making us safe and sound from danger."

"On other hoof, it was named after Zephyr Breeze," Pipp said happily yet cutely.

Almost everyone was disbelieved of what they just heard. Shorty asked, "Why is that?"

Pipp smiled, "They said that Zephyr Breeze was bravest and fastest Pegasus has ever known for challenging and humiliating the scary Warlord called 'Cunning Fury', right in front of the public."

Everyone yelped in shock and disbelief while facefaulted to the ground. Ciel gasped before stuttered, "I-I-I can't believe that incident is actually part of history."

Rainbow groaned in concern, "Be glad that he's not here to hear this one."

Shorty nodded, "Yeah. I hate to imagine how bad temper former Mystic Councilpony is about to unleash on this world."

Zipp groaned in annoyance as she scolded Pipp, "Pipp! I told you a hundred times before! That is just a ridiculous fairytale! I mean challenging and humiliating a cunning yet terrifying Mystic Councilpony of Earth is dumbest thing I ever heard. Zephyr Breeze may have been Fluttershy's brother, he's not brave or smart enough to do that."

Pipp scoffed while rolled her eyes in annoyance, "Maybe to you but this one is my favorite and better than some history books." She sighed happily, "I can't imagine how handsome and charming this Zephyr Breeze. His wife must be very lucky to have him."

Rainbow groaned in disgust, "Yuck. I can imagine how terrible it goes especially with his girlfriend."

Aqua nodded in agreement, "Yeah. I heard that Sour Sweet kicked his ass for trying to makeup with her." She sighed in disbelief, "I can't imagine how much trouble you have with him."

Rolled her eyes in annoyance, Rainbow grumbled, "You have no idea."

"Anyhow, who are we meeting?" Shorty asked.

"Our mom," Pipp answered happily while flapping her wings.

Zipp nodded, "Yeah. She kept the Pegasus Magic Crystal with her and might know about the history too."

"How intriguing." Rarity remarked calmly, "A librarian, no doubt."

Zipp and Pipp scoffed before burst in laughter, making Rarity confused. The white Pegasus spoke, "Yeah. Not exactly…"





"Zephyrina Storm! Pipp Ruby Petals!" The pale pink colored Pegasus with periwinkle colored mane and tail with lilac streaks worn purple royal gown and newly winged-like crown demanded out loud yet firmly, "Where have you been?! You've got some explaining to do when you both supposed to be here in time."

Almost everyone including Zipp and Pipp yelped in fear and concern of what they're facing with. They're now at the Royal Throne Chamber, where the queen herself was sitting on her golden chair while holding and patting her flying dog-like.

Rarity gulped in concern, "You never told us that she's the queen."

"Now we did," Zipp answered amusingly, "Everypony, meet our mom and the Queen of Zephyr Heights – Queen Haven."

Pipp whispered to her new friends, "And be advised, she can be a drama queen sometimes."

Rainbow snickered amusingly, "Sounds familiar."

Almost everyone stifled their laughter amusingly while Rarity looked confuse.

Queen Haven raised her eyebrow as she asked annoyingly, "Would somepony tell me what is going on? And who are these ponies, Zipp and Pipp?"

Zipp sighed, "Mom, we told you this morning that we were meeting up with our friends, making sure Pipp's Concert Ticket Sales goes well."

"They're our friends, mom," Pipp explained with a smile. She continued, "Ms. Rarity, Ms. Fluttershy, Ms. Rainbow Dash, Mr. Shorty Thinking, Mr. Tailtech, Ms. Aqua and Ms. Icy. They're the Legendary Heroes of Equestria and Mystic!"

Queen Haven laughed dramatically yet poorly out loud, making almost everyone covered their ears as they can't stand with her poor laughter. But at the same time, they were confused and uncertain of why she laughed.

"That's a laughable, my daughters. Everypony knows that they're just legends and myths. They're not even real." Queen Haven remarked with scoff.

"Mom, they're real," Zipp insisted firmly.

"I'm sure they are," Queen Haven commented while showing ignorance. She noticed her flying dog was licking its paws while snarling and growling in frustration. She sighed, "Oh good heavens! What is wrong with you, Cloudpuff?! Don't tell me that you need a bath again?!"

"Uh, your highness?" Fluttershy calmly called out. Queen Haven turned and looked at her. She continued, "May I can be assistant? I'm very good with the animals."

Though uncertain and worried, Queen Haven reluctantly passed her flying dog to Fluttershy. The yellow Pegasus held the worried Cloudpuff before gently shushed it to calm down. She smiled warmly, making the dog revealed its paw with a thorn on it. She slowly yet gently plucked it out. Cleared her throat while looking at Shorty, the scientist quickly approached her while giving her the medical kit. She swiftly and quickly put ointment before bandaged its paw.

Cloudpuff was surprised yet happy as its tail was shaking happily. It then nuzzled on her. Everyone was surprised by it.

"H-How did you know that?" Queen Haven asked in surprise.

Fluttershy smiled, "I talked with Cloudpuff. He showed me the problem. And I helped him."

Rainbow smiled while nodded proudly, "Yup. Fluttershy's really good with animals. She always listened, talked and even helped them a lot."

Queen Haven gawked in disbelief and shock before spoke, "T-This is unbelievable. And impossible. They're real?!"

Zipp nodded, "Yes, mom. They're very real."

"And also, we need your help too," Pipp added.

"Is this about the Pegasus Magical Crystal?" Queen Haven asked calmly. Zipp and Pipp nodded firmly. She sighed, "Somehow I'm not surprised that my old crown is gonna be involved with this again. Be right back."

"There's more, your highness," Aqua added firmly, "We wish you could help us out with Pegasi History that has something to do with Pegasi losing Flight Magic. We want to know how and when, so we can prevent it."

"Really?" Queen Haven asked in surprise. Everyone nodded. She sighed, "Very well. I'll be right back with both the Pegasus Magic Crystal and also the history. In the meantime, Pipp and Zipp should entertain the guests, or better yet, make some preparation for the concert too. I don't want any more embarrassment to the royal family again. It's such a heartache to get stuck in prison. I almost faint."

Queen Haven sighed unhappily before falling down on her seat. Everyone sighed amusingly yet annoyingly, reminding them so much of Rarity. They all looked at her amusingly and playfully.

Rarity groaned, "Don't you dare look at me. I'm nothing like her!"

"Either way. Like mom said, we should handle our stuffs first," Zipp suggested calmly.

Pipp nodded, "Yeah. I need to prepare myself for my upcoming concert. This time, it's not gonna be Pegasi, but all three tribes. I'm so nervous and worried about my costume or dress to wear for it. And not to mention, I want to make sure that my newly decorated stage and even special effects are good."

"Ooh! I can handle with that," Rarity volunteered.

Fluttershy shrugged, "I guess I could help too."

Shorty smiled warmly, "My assistants and I will handle with the stage and special effects. We're good at that kind of work."

Tailtech nodded, "Yup. Trust us. We can build stuffs, fix stuffs and even upgrade them. That's our work motto."

Ciel smiled warmly, "You can count on us to help you."

Pipp smiled warmly, "Thank you, guys."

Pipp then led and guided Rarity, Fluttershy, Shorty, Ciel and Tailtech to her dressing room and the stage that she's gonna used for her concert.

Zipp turned and looked at Aqua and Rainbow, "Since my sister's gonna be busy with her rehearsal, dressing and working on special effects, wanna hang out with me? I've got something awesome you might gonna like."

Rainbow looked intrigued and impressed, "Oh. This ought to be interesting."

"Well, better than researching and doing nothing," Aqua agreed before sighed, "Not kind of my style."

Zipp smiled, "Cool. I've got something I wanna show you."





Zipp led and guide Rainbow and Aqua to the old abandoned airport hall-like via using the air-balloon's basket to climb and lowered to the ground. The place was filled with lampposts, old flight technologies, air balloons from hangar bays, various books, chalkboard, Wonderbolt Posters and also the stained-glass windows with Pegasus on left, Unicorn on right, middle is Earth Pony as they all held the Magical Crystals and top has Twilight Sparkle's cutie marks.

Zipp smiled warmly, "Welcome to my hideout."

"Wow…" Rainbow remarked in surprise. She gasped while looking at the Wonderbolt Poster, "Wow! Cool! I didn't know you were the fan of Wonderbolts!"

"Huh. So, that's what they're called." Zipp asked curiously as she approached and looked at the poster. She sighed in surprise, "I always thought they're called Storm Raiders or Rainbow Squad since you founded it."

Rainbow looked disbelief and shocked, "Wowza. Your history really messed up as three ponies hating each other going back to the time before the Founders of Old Equestria's."

Zipp shrugged with a sigh, "What can you do when you got very incomplete history?"

"I supposed it is true enough." Aqua remarked understandingly. She approached to chalkboard which involved of wing structure and also flight formation, and also found other books like science, mathematics and technology. She whistled, "Still I'm impressed that you have this kind of stuffs."

Rainbow checked on the books, "Wow! You studied and worked on these?"

"Yeah." Zipp admitted proudly while looking at some technologies and obstacle course, "Other than sports, I loved science and math. Heck, I even did some serious research and experiment on my flight test. It works pretty great."

"Wow! You mean you worked on this kind of stuffs?!" Rainbow asked in surprise while looking at the obstacle course. Zipp chuckled a bit while nodded. While looking at the chalkboard, she continued, "Okay. I always thought you're an athletic like me and Aqua, but didn't realize that you can be an egghead."

Zipp smirked playfully, "There's nothing wrong with being smart. I've got no problem with it. Plus, with lots of inventions and machines, it could help me out with my flying skills since I just got flight magic."

"I see." Rainbow nodded understanding. While thinking, she smirked playfully, "Say. You wanna do some serious race on machine?"

"Is that a challenge?"

"Only if you say 'yes'."

"Alright! I'm always on the challenge. Time for the new beat the old."

"Hey! I am not old as old pony Veteran Shot or Anchor," Rainbow grumbled.

Zipp smirked, "Then prove it old timer."

Rainbow chuckled amusingly, "Oh! You're so gonna get this!"

Both Rainbow and Zipp laughed out loud and happily as they were racing through the obstacle course. And at the same time, they were shouting, taunting and commenting at each other's speed and skills through the course.

Aqua chuckled a bit while rolled her eyes, "This should be interesting. Reminds me of Indigo and Rainbow's rivalry. Just hope that they don't go overboard again."





Pipp led Rarity, Fluttershy, Shorty, Tailtech and Ciel to the backstage garage, which was located at the basement. It was where rehearsal for singing and dancing, decorating sets on concert stage and making some props, sewing and working on costumes, and some special effect technical machine, which were handled by the Pegasi Technician and Designers. Rarity and her team awed in amazement and surprise to look at it.

"Oh my…" Fluttershy remarked in surprise.

Rarity nodded, "Indeed. This is incredible. I'd never seen this kind of concert before."

Shorty approached to the special effects machine, "Me too. This machine's amazing. I've always wanted to try this kind of technology."

"Well, here you are," Pipp said calmly with a smile, "Feel free to use it. So, Rarity, can you really handle with dress?"

"Can I?" Rarity giggled amusingly, "Darling, I've created and sew thousands and more kinds of dresses, suits and everything for my pleasing customers. All I really need is inspiration to match with you."

Fluttershy hummed thoughtfully, "How about the song? You did the same thing for both Sapphire Shore and Countess Coloratura."

Rarity smiled while nodded in agreement, "Splendid idea, Fluttershy! I can do that! Would you help us, Princess Pipp?"

Pipp smiled, "My pleasure. And please, call me 'Pipp'. Friends are allowed to call me that."

Pipp guide and led Rarity and Fluttershy to the dressing room, where two ponies worked on the dress while the princess was rehearsing and singing 'Glowin' Up' song. And at the same time, Shorty and his two assistants were checking and working on the special effects machines, lightings and even automatic filming cameras.

"Gotta hand it to them. These technologies are almost modern and same as ours," Tailtech remarked while checking on camera. He hummed thoughtfully, "You think that these comes from Mystic Ponies?"

Shorty shrugged in concern while studying technologies, "Maybe. By the looks of these, it doesn't require Crystals or even Magic to power and activate them. They used electrical energy to do so. Ingenious…"

"Not to mention, those devices they're using…" Ciel said while pointing at some ponies were using cellphones for talking, typing messages or entertainment. She continued, "Don't they look familiar?"

Tailtech hummed thoughtfully, "Yeah, they do. If I'm not mistaken, Twilight mentioned about humans using these 'cellphones' for communication."

"It is," Shorty confirmed, "In fact, that was one of my unfinished projects I was working on. Gotta admit it. This is really trick to work on."

"Say what if we bring one of them back to our timeline," Tailtech suggested playfully.

Ciel hummed thoughtfully, "Yeah. That would be a great idea. This will help us solve the problem with cellphone project."

Shorty was annoyed as he pulled their ears hard, making them yelped in pain. He remarked dryly, "Don't even think about it."

Inside the dressing room, while listening to her song, Rarity and Fluttershy got the inspiration and idea on creating a good dress for Pipp to wear.

After nearly two hours of working on the dress, it is ready. Pipp is now wearing a white-silver-colored dress with blue decorated lines and wearing pinkish colored furred coat-like, pair of white sleeves gloves-like, and also silver flower earrings-like. She was looking at the long mirror stand. She was impressed and amazed of what she was looking at.

"O-Oh my…" Pip remarked in surprise. Flapping her wings happily, she then took a selfie of herself, "Selfie! This is so gorgeous!"

"Rarity did it again. She makes another best and beautiful dress again." Fluttershy commented.

Pipp nodded in agreement, "I agreed. This is the best dress I ever wear and seen! I didn't realize that unicorns are good with designing the dresses. Not to mention, have good manners too."

Rarity giggled a bit, "Why thank you. Though I'm curious, why would you say that?"

Remembering of what Sunny told her about Rarity, Pip giggled a bit of nervous, "Funny story." She sighed in frustration, "Sure wish I could have taken pictures of where unicorns live. Never imagined that unicorns actually lived in sophisticated city than rural land."

"Beg your pardon?! Did you say 'rural land'?!" Rarity asked in disbelief.

Felt the sudden vibration, Pipp answered her cellphone. She listened carefully while nodded understandingly. Turning it off, she spoke, "Mom found them. Better meet up with them now. Time to find out about the answer of our history."





Both Pipp's and Zipp's group returned to the throne chamber, where Queen Haven has brought both the Pegasus Magic Crystal and the Pegasi's Ancient History Book. She approached and passed them to her daughters.

"Just as I promised, here are the crystal and the history book," Queen Haven said firmly yet humbly.

Pipp smiled, "Thanks, mom. You're the best as always!"

"Say did you find anything else with the history?" Zipp asked calmly.

Queen Haven hummed thoughtfully, "Not that I know of. However, the librarian did mention about these crystals…"

"Really?" Rarity asked curiously.

Fluttershy looked worried and scared as she asked, "W-What is it? Do these crystals have something to do with the history?"

Queen Haven sighed, "I cannot be very sure since history is not my favorite subject. However, if I recall correctly is that the Last Princess of Equestria owed three magical powerful crystals. These crystals were created for bringing peace and harmony to the Equestria Land, and also to protect and safeguard ponies' magic powers from falling into wrong hooves while also battle and defeat the pure evil like the Dark Warlord."

"Oh my…" Fluttershy remarked in concern, "That's almost sound like Elements of Harmony."

Rarity nodded, "Indeed. These crystals must be very powerful and magical…"

"I'm surprise that you never told me about this," Zipp commented in surprise.

"As I've said before, Zipp, I wasn't very good with history," Queen Haven admitted humbly, "And if I did find out, we were still suspicious and paranoid of trusting and making friends with other ponies."

"Can't blame her for that," Pipp said calmly.

"Well, as long as we have the information and crystal, we should report back to Twilight," Shorty said firmly and calmly, "She might have the idea about what to do."

"Good thinking, Shorty. We should get going now," Ciel suggested calmly.

Everyone nodded and chattered in agreement. Both Zipp's and Pipp's groups are heading off and returning to Maretime Bay, regrouping and meeting up with their friends about the information they have found. As soon as they left the throne chamber, Queen Haven sighed while sitting down on her throne chair. Cloudpuff hopped and landed on his mistress's lap for resting.

While listening to her daughter's recorded song for almost ten minutes, both Queen Haven and Cloudpuff suddenly heard a loud noise and shouting from the outside of throne chamber. This annoyed and irritated them a lot.

"What in the world is going on out there?!" Queen Haven demanded angrily and annoyingly. To her shock and concern, an injured and bruised Alphabittle got thrown straight to the ground. She asked, "Alphabittle?! Oh my god! What happened to you?!"

Alphabittle groaned in pain, "R-Run… Haven, Run!"

Just before she could do anything, Queen Haven found Cloudpuff snarled and barked out loud as something someone. She looked up and found Ripper, his coat was covered in blood, approached to her.

"W-Who are you?! What do you want?!" Queen Haven demanded in anger yet fear.

Ripper sighed while twist his neck for a stretch, "I want the information. Tell me more about Mystic Realm… Where is it now?! Where is my home?!"





Bringing Kid Flare Tiger along, Twilight and Shadow Dragon revealed her heritage, as well as explaining about her ties with the Element of Time and Space and responsible of making sure the timeline is stable and balanced. Both Sunny and Hitch were shocked and surprised about it, though Sprout find it boring and uninterested. And at the same time, they were all heading straight to the Canterlogic Factory.

Still processing the information, Sunny then asked in uncertain, "So, this hybrid is not only your descendant, but also the wielder and guardian of Element of Time and Space, so that she can travel back to the past and make sure that timeline is stable and balance, without constant paradox and interruption?"

Twilight nodded a bit, "That's sum it up."

"Wow… A Time Traveler…" Hitch commented in surprise. He then looked at Kid Flare Tiger, who was still hiding besides Sunny. He smiled warmly, "Who knew?"

"Well, truthfully, I also have a hard time to believe that she's your descendant, Headmare Twilight," Rak admitted in surprise.

Yona nodded, "Yona never knew too."

"All of us have hard time to believe it," Shadow Dragon added calmly and firmly. He smiled proudly and calmly while looking at Kid Flare Tiger, "But if it weren't for her, Lance wouldn't be alive and reunite with us. And not to mention, we also have ensured a better future for ourselves too."

Twilight nodded in agreement while nuzzled her husband, "Yeah. We owe it to her. Plus, she did keep marriage ring safely for us to get married."

Sunny awed happily while patted Kid Flare Tiger's head, "Aw… That's so sweet and romantic too."

Sprout made a retched noise of disgust, "If you ask me, that's gotta be stupidest thing I ever heard." He glared at Kid Flare Tiger, "And not to mention, I don't believe that she's the old fossils' kid too. She's a freak."

Sunny and Hitch turned and glared at Sprout as they shouted in unison, "[Sunny] Sprout! [Hitch] Not cool! And it's rude too!"

"What? It's the truth," Sprout exclaimed bluntly, "I don't know why you guys so riled up for a freak like her and ancient fossils like them."

Just before anyone could do anything, Terrorcreep swiftly and quickly tripped Sprout to the ground. The ex-Deputy Sheriff tried to get up but slammed to the ground by the Mystic Vampire Pony, who armed and held his Thunder Axe close to his neck. Everyone yelped in concern and worried of what he was doing.

Sprout screamed in fear, "Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Don't kill me!"

Terrorcreep hissed angrily and darkly, "Insult one more time. Your life is mine to take."

Sprout panicked frantically, "No! No! Noooooo! Don't take my life!"

"Hey! Hey! Hey! You cannot do that to my officer! Let him go now!" Hitch firmly scolded Terrorcreep.

"What makes you think that I would comply?" Terrorcreep asked mockingly.

Hitch showed his sheriff badge to him, "Coz I'm the sheriff. And I ordered you to let him go now!"

Terrorcreep scoffed, "I don't take orders from naïve and cocky sheriff for not taking good care of the worthless officer."

"Excuse me?!" Hitch asked angrily, feeling offended

Blazefist cleared his throat, "Come on, TC. Let that idiot go. He gets the message."

"I am," Terrorcreep said calmly before disengaged his weapons. He smirked while looking at how scared Sprout is. He remarked, "Remember this. Or else…"

Sprout yelped in fear, "I won't forget this! Honest! I'll be good!"

"Was that really necessary?" Sunny asked in annoyance.

Shadow Dragon shrugged, "That's Terrorcreep. He has ways to deal with ponies, who dared to disrespect him, even if it means he has to bite them."

Hitch groaned, "Right. Now I remember why Earth Ponies are afraid of Pegasi. All because of him as a vampire."

Sunny and her friends have arrived and entered the laboratory, where the scientists were studying and analyzing on Earth Pony Magic Crystal. They even were researching and checking on the Earth Pony history as well. A light peach pink colored Earth Pony with golden blonde curved twister-like mane and short tail wearing pair of glasses, pearl necklace and even access tag and has a bar graph depicting rising stocks cutie mark was checking and supervising them with their work. She hummed curiously yet interestingly while studying the crystal.

Sunny cleared her throat, "Mrs. Cloverleaf?"

Mrs. Cloverleaf yelped in surprise before looked back, "Oh my! Sunny Starscout and Sheriff Hitch! Good to see you around." She smiled warmly while hugging Sprout, "Hi, Son. How are you doing? Doing alright with the community service?"

Sprout grumbled, "Fine, mummy. Everything's fine…"

"That's his mom?" Blazefist asked Hitch.

Hitch nodded, "Yeah. She's his mom. Phyllis Cloverleaf is the founder and president of Canterlogic, and also act as De-facto Leader of Maretime Bay."

Terrorcreep rolled his eyes in annoyance, "She must be very proud of his achievement."

Hitch shook his head in disagreement, "Well, I don't think she's happy for him and even herself since she got bigot against the Pegasi and Unicorn. She didn't realize it until Sprout screw it up big time."

Mrs. Cloverleaf turned her attention to Twilight and her friends. She asked, "These are…"

"Friends of ours, Mrs. Cloverleaf," Sunny explained calmly, "These are Princess Twilight, her husband Shadow Dragon, Commander Blazefist, Terrorcreep, and the students – Yona, Rak and Blackwitch."

Mrs. Cloverleaf looked surprised and disbelieved, "Oh my… The rumors about you ponies come from the past are true." She giggled in disbelief while rolled her eyes in frustration, "Butter biscuit! Guess I owe Argyle a big time for not believing in his research."

"Is that what you're doing now? Researching and getting the right history?" Hitch asked in confusion.

Mrs. Cloverfield nodded, "Indeed, I am. We're trying to piece Argyle's research work together with our history. So far, they seem to be connected. And of course, we're doing another thoroughly research on the crystal. I'm still having trouble to believe that this crystal has special magic for us to use."

Sunny hummed thoughtfully, "I supposed that's true, Mrs. Cloverfield."

"I have the feeling that you didn't come here for a tour or chat with me," Mrs. Cloverfield said calmly, "So, what do you need, Sunny and Sheriff Hitch?"

"Hey, what about me?!" Sprout asked in annoyance.

Mrs. Cloverfield sighed, "I'll get you what you want later, honey. But I'm talking with our guests now."

"Well, we were hoping that you can help us with the history or anything happen to the crystal," Sunny asked calmly, "Princess Twilight believed that once we find out how the history went, they might able to change our future."

Mrs. Cloverfield looked surprised, "Oh. I see. Well then, let me get the crystal now." She cleared her throat, making the assistant quickly to get and brought the Earth Pony Magic Crystal to her. She passed it to Sunny. She continued, "As for the history, there're some missing gap between Princess Nyx's reign and present time. But we do know is that the disappearance of Last Princess caused pony tribes and other creatures to turn on each other and went separate ways. They grew suspicious, fearful and paranoid of each other as they went very far to create propaganda to protect themselves from the enemies. The true version became legend and bedtime stories."

Everyone was in shock and disbelief of what they just heard. Yona sighed, "Yona doesn't believe it. Why go that far?"

Mrs. Cloverfield sighed, "Sad to say. Losing the only sole ruler to Equestria has made ponies paranoid and angry to blame each other for the mess. I mean you saw what happened today."

"Yeah, I do." Sunny nodded understandingly. She then heard some loud magical noise. She and her friends looked back and found rest of their friends teleported before them. She gasped, "Wow! You guys are back!"

"Yup! We sure did," Izzy said happily.

Applejack held the Magical Unicorn Crystal, "And we got the crystal and history about unicorn."

"Same with us too," Shorty added on, signaling Rarity and Fluttershy held both Pegasi History Book and Magical Crystal.

Zipp smiled, "And you won't believe of what we just found."

"Well, let's hear it," Sunny said excitedly. Both Applejack's and Rarity's teams explained of what they have found and learned from Alphabittle and Queen Haven. Sunny's team were surprised of what they just heard. She remarked, "W-Wow. That was unexpected…"

"Unexpected is a bit of understatement," Terrorcreep remarked dryly.

Twilight hummed thoughtfully, "But still, there's some dot that connects with Earth Pony's History like the Last Princess sacrificed herself to use three magical crystals to defeat the Dark Lord, which caused the ponies to lose magic. They became paranoid and fear of each other before went separate ways."

Sunny nodded understandingly, "That is true. Sounds like the crystals are the key to this."

"If I may." Mrs. Cloverfield said thoughtfully while looking at Earth Pony Magic Crystal, "There's a legend say that these crystals were actually made from the Tree of Harmony."

"WHAT?!" Everyone asked in surprise.

"I don't believe it," Shadow Dragon commented in shock.

"The Tree of Harmony created the crystals? How is that possible?" Twilight asked in surprise. Mrs. Cloverfield shrugged in uncertain. She sighed, "Guess we'd never know when or how it happened. Or maybe… There's more to the Tree of Harmony than meets the eye…"

Mrs. Cloverfield nodded, "Indeed. Like both tribes' histories, the crystals were used to fight and protect the ponies from pure evil. They also maintained peace and harmony for the land. But I also believe that they're also the key restore magic but only if three pony tribe must reunite as one."

Izzy gasped happily, "Just like what you did, Sunny. You united three pony tribes as one."

Everyone chattered and gave the applause happily while Sunny blushed warmly as she didn't expect some compliment especially from Mrs. Cloverfield since she was very against to believe in Argyle's research.

Hitch nodded happily, "Izzy does have the point. You showed the world that ponies can be friends and united. Heck, you even helped them regain their magic from using the crystals."

Rak smiled, "Yeah, they also make you an Alicorn Princess."

The whole community gasped in shock and surprised of what they just heard while looking at Sunny. The apricot Alicorn looked nervous and worried about it now.

"Oh my…" Mrs. Cloverfield remarked in surprise, "I didn't think about that. If Princess Twilight is an Alicorn, then Sunny Starscout is also a princess too! She's now our new ruler of the Equestria!"

The community gasped before chattered with each other. Sunny became nervous as she spoke, "Well, I'm not sure-!"

The community swarmed over Sunny while pushing and moving the rest of her friends and even the ponies from ancient time. While her friends tried to reach her and push the crowd aside, Blackwitch quickly magically teleported out. But her teleportation didn't go unnoticed. Her classmates spotted her doing it. Confused yet worried for her, they decided to return to one place that they're familiar with. They quickly and stealthily used the magical aura sense and teleportation spell to follow after her.

The community from three tribes wildly and happily complimented, admired and asked her about her new role as the ruler of Equestria.

"Are you really going to be the new Princess of Equestria? Does this mean that you'll be leading all three tribes of ponies? You're becoming Princess Twilight's Successor now! This is awesome! Incredible! Astounding! I'm willing to follow you! You're the best! I knew you were right from the start about. You'd never give up from proving that you were right! You must be proud of your accomplishment! I mean I would! You inspire me! Your father must be so proud of you for this! You made his dream come true! No doubt that you're gonna be the best princess in this land!"

Hearing their compliments and remarks has made her more agitated yet nervous and scared than before. And the only thing Sunny has to do is magically teleported at once before they overwhelmed her.

Everyone chattered and muttered in concern, wondering where Sunny has gone off to. Even the rest of her friends also became worried and concern now.

"Oh no. Sunny! Where is she?!" Hitch asked in concern.

Mrs. Cloverfield looked worry and concern as she answered, "I don't know, sheriff. She just disappeared."

"Not disappeared," Twilight disagreed as her horn lighted up magically. Sensing the magic aura carefully, she answered, "I know where she is. She's back at home now."

"Let's go now!" Izzy exclaimed in concern.

Zipp nodded, "Yeah. We need check on her. Hope she's alright."

"We will. But I have to talk with her alone," Twilight said firmly and seriously. Everyone was confused and uncertain. She continued, "I might know what's really going on with her. But I'm the only pony can help her out. I need you guys to give me and Sunny some space to sort out her problem."

While Sunny's friends were worried and uncertain, Twilight's teams and allies remained calm and firm as they have some confidence and belief in her. Regardless, they all nodded firmly and calmly in agreement. Twilight smiled warmly and happily that her friends from her past and future era trusted her to do so. Holding Kid Flare Tiger close to her, she magically teleported off to Sunny's latest location now.

"What do you think it's going on with Sunny?" Pipp asked in concern, "This isn't like her to just leave like that."

Zipp sighed in concern, "Hope nothing happens to her."

"Do you think your wife can reach her out?" Hitch asked in concern.

Shadow Dragon smiled confidently, "Don't worry, sheriff. She can. I have faith in her. Twilight will talk with your girlfriend over what problem she has."

"That's a relief," Hitch said in relief. He yelped in realization, "Hey! She's not my girlfriend!"

Shadow Dragon smirked teasingly, "Sure, she is. One day."

"Hey… Have anyone seen the students?" Icy asked in concern.

Everyone looked around of their surroundings. They found five students went missing. While Sunny's friends were worried and scared, Shadow Dragon and his friends groaned in annoyance and frustration about this.

Terrorcreep groaned while crossed his hooves, "I really hate when they do that. They just can't sit still."

"Well, we'd better find them now before they get us into trouble," Sabe said firmly and seriously.

"We'll help too!" Izzy volunteered, making her friends agreed as well.

Shadow Dragon and his friends smiled warmly to hear that Sunny's team is willing to help them out. They all headed out of Canterlogic Garage. They have to find the students. And at the same time, Mrs. Cloverfield dispersed the community and asked them to return to their duties at once. And they did.

Sprout was on his way out of the garage, he was grabbed and held against the wall. He found Ripper held and aimed his knife at him by neck. He gave a cackling yet maniacal laughter.

"W-What the?! Who are you?!" Sprout demanded fearfully and frantically. Ripper ignored his question as he aimed and placed the knife close to his neck. He yelped, "W-What do you want from me?!"

Ripper smirked, "Answer. What happen to Nezha and my allies?! Did they really win the war? Where are they now?!"

"T-The Evil God of War?! Him?! Win?! Mystic Ponies?! What the heck are you talking about?!" Sprout panicked, "He didn't win the war! He lost it! He committed suicide for destroying the Mystic-Equestria Alliance and the Equestria! Everypony knows that!

"Are you lying to me?!" Ripper asked with snarl.

"No! I'm saying they all went extinct because of Nezha! He's destroyed everything and even his own homeland!"

"I-Impossible!"

"I'm telling you the truth!"

Ripper snarled angrily after hearing the history from both Alphabittle and Queen Haven. He sighed calmly while glaring at Sprout, "Well then. Looks like I'm gonna change the future. I just need to get that brat activate the Element again. And for the insurance, I make sure that they stayed dead here for good."

Sprout gulped in fear, "W-What are you going to do?"

Ripper smirked, "You're gonna help me with something… I heard that you built the powerful war machine to destroy your enemies. I want that."

Widened his eyes in fear and shock, Sprout panicked, "No! No! No! Not that! Please! Don't force me to use that again! I don't want to be that pony again!"

Ripper gave an evil laughter while strangling to choke fearful Sprout, "I'm not asking, fool…"





After barely escaped and returned to her home via magical teleportation, Sunny was standing at the lighthouse's balcony, looking at Maretime Bay, and also Bridlewood and Zephyr Height. She recalled the adventure she has been through with her friends and the lessons she has learned especially becoming the Alicorn from the power of three Pony Magical Crystals. She sighed in upset, worried and uncertain about her role as the first Alicorn and new ruler of Equestria.

While Sunny was thinking about the situation, Twilight and Kid Flare Tiger teleported inside the lighthouse's lantern room. They looked around to find her. They spotted her at the balcony. They approached and checked on her.

Sensing two ponies behind her, Sunny sighed before turned and looked back, "Hey, Princess Twilight. I'm so sorry for bailing out. I-I'm kinda freak out."

"Yeah. I noticed," Twilight said calmly, "I can tell that you're bothered about being the first pony to be an Alicorn and 'Princess of Equestria'."

"Don't call me that! I am not a princess like you or your predecessors!" Sunny snapped in frustration and annoyance. Twilight remained calm and firm while looking at her in concern. Kid Flare Tiger became afraid of her before hiding behind the Alicorn Princess's. She gasped of her mistake. She looked down in shame, "I'm sorry again…"

"Do you want to talk about this? I can tell that you've been bothered by this a lot."

"Yeah. But is it okay if I can be emotional about how I feel about being Princess?"

"You may, Sunny. Let it out as much as you want."

Relieved that Twilight was alright with it, Sunny sighed before expressed out, "Princess Twilight, I have to be honest with you. I don't think I'm fit for being a princess. Let alone to rule the Equestria. It's gotta be joke and stupid too."

"Why is that?" Twilight asked calmly.

"All I ever want is to prove that my father's right about the three pony tribes were and can be friends. I want them to get along and help each other like friends or family. I want them stop treating each other like enemies or monsters." Sunny exclaimed in frustration and upset tone. Tears formed on her eyelids, she cried out sadly, "But I also really want is ponies stopped treating me like I'm an outsider or special or even princess! I felt so isolated and lonely to have this kind of treatment! I don't want to be alone! I can't do this! I just can't!"

"Sunny…" Twilight said sympathetically.

Sunny sighed while wiping tears off, "I'm so sorry again, Princess Twilight. Being an Alicorn or even becoming the princess isn't something I was expecting. I'm not very sure that I'm ready for this. I don't think I can do it…"

Just as she suspected, Sunny is indeed scared and uncomfortable about being a princess. Twilight was about to talk and comfort her but Kid Flare Tiger approached and gave Sunny a warm and gently hug.

"Don't be sad… You, not alone…" Kid Flare Tiger answered gently while nuzzling her legs. This surprised Sunny. While looking at her, she formed tears and said sadly, "Me… Flare Tiger… Is here for you… Me… Help you… Me… care for you…"

"Flare Tiger…" Sunny said in surprise.

Twilight approached towards her, "It'll be fine, Sunny. Like Flare Tiger said, you're not alone."

"What do you mean, Princess Twilight?"

"I've been in your hoofsteps before, Sunny. I wasn't sure if I'm ready for the new role too when I achieved my Alicorn Form. So, I know that feeling very well, Sunny."

"I see. Must have been hard and pressured for you to handle with the princess role. You've been pressured a lot to make your ponies and do what is right. Not to mention, you've been alone for a while."

"Yes. Being princess is no joke," Twilight admitted calmly before formed a gentle smile, "But that doesn't mean it has to be bad thing or everything comes to the end."

Sunny looked surprise as she asked, "Really?"

"Yeah. As long you have friends with you, you'll never be alone." Twilight said calmly and gently with a nod. She turned and looked at Kid Flare Tiger, who was staying close to Sunny while nuzzling her. She smiled warmly, "Even Flare Tiger agrees with me. She'll be standing by your side."

Touched and relieved by Twilight's advice and even Kid Flare Tiger's kindness, Sunny smiled happily yet warmly while patted the filly's mane, "Thank you, Flare Tiger. I appreciate for standing by my side." She turned and looked at Twilight, "Thank you, Princess Twilight. You're the best, just like the folktale. The wise and powerful Princess of Friendship give the advice to poor soul."

Twilight sighed in disbelief, "Oh boy. That seems to be exaggerating…"

Both Twilight and Sunny giggled happily. Kid Flare Tiger smiled happily to see them happy again. She then smelled something foul yet burning.

"B-Burning… I smell burning!" Kid Flare Tiger exclaimed in concern.

"WHAT?!" Twilight and Sunny asked in concern.

Twilight, Sunny and Kid Flare Tiger used the elevator to reach to the ground. To their shock and concern, they found the smoke coming out from the basement. They also heard some shouting from it as well. They looked worry and scared that someone's burning her father's research and works. They quickly climbed down at once to save them before it's too late.

Upon reaching to the basement, they found Rak and Yona were holding Blackwitch, who was struggling to use magic to levitate and tear out the research papers. And at the same time, Ciel and Melody used their Hydro Pump to put out the fire from both library shelves and research papers. They managed to save the works, but most of them were burnt and destroyed.

"Nooooooooooo!" Sunny screamed in shock and pain. She trotted towards the research papers. Forming tears of sadness and pain, she cried, "M-My dad's research! They're gone! They're gone! Damn it!"

Furiously Twilight glared at the students, "Would you like to explain about this?! Why would you all burn down the research?!"

The students except Blackwitch panicked in fear. Yona exclaimed while pointing at her, "Yona and her friends didn't do it! Scary pony did it!"

"It's true! She teleported to this basement and started burning the research papers!" Rak explained frantically and fearfully, "We tried to stop her! Honest!"

Twilight couldn't believe in her own eyes as she turned and glared at Blackwitch, "Blackwitch! Care to explain of what's really going on?!"

Ciel nodded firmly, "You can't destroy the future ponies' historical papers about us!"

Blackwitch hissed in frustration and upset while looking away, "I-I have to destroy them! No one from our timeline should learn the truth! Shadow Dragon mustn't learn the truth!"

"Huh? What do you mean?" Melody asked in confusion.

"Yona not understand why creepy pony do it?!" Yona asked in concern.

"Blackwitch, tell us the truth." Twilight demanded firmly yet seriously, "What is this about? Why are you doing this?"

Ciel nodded, "Why are you so desperate to destroy the history books and research?!"

"I… I can't," Blackwitch admitted in shame, "I just can't…"

"Because the Jade Emperor Lau ordered you to keep silence and destroy the truth?!" Sunny asked angrily yet firmly. Everyone was confused and shocked as they turned and looked at her. She looked very angry and furious yet firm to continue, "The truth about Mystic Demon and also the reincarnation of Yami. Is that why you want to destroy my father's research?!"

Blackwitch gasped, "H-How did you-?!"

Sunny interrupted firmly, "I read my father's research and 'The Legend of Shadow Dragon' from Hitch. You knew who's the real monster and who's the real hero, right?"

Blackwitch was in disbelief and shocked by her discovery as she remarked, "I… I…"

"Should I tell them the truth? Or you do?" Sunny asked firmly yet angrily.

"I don't understand. What's really going on?" Rak asked in confusion.

Twilight looked at Blackwitch as she demanded calmly, "The truth. Now."

Blackwitch sighed in defeat and shame, "The Alicorn Princess of this era is right. The Jade Emperor entrusted me to destroy the truth about a dangerous and powerful being that will bring the destruction to Mystic Realm." She looked at her friends with shameful and hurtful looks to continue, "Shadow Dragon… He is not the Destroyer, but the reincarnated hero to save us from the monster…"

"WHAT?!" Everyone sans Sunny asked in shock.

Sunny nodded firmly, "Yes. Keep telling, Blackwitch. They especially Shadow Dragon deserve the truth."





Mane Five, Dragon Strike Force and Sunny's Team have split up and searched for five missing students at both Maretime Bay's residents, square and even shopping lots. Nearly an hour has passed, they all met up at the square.

"Did you find them?" Shadow Dragon asked firmly. Everyone shook their heads in concern. He sighed, "Where the heck they have gone to?"

Blazefist shook his head in concern, "No clue. Honestly, why can't the kids be the good students and stayed in the classroom?"

Glaring at Rainbow, Terrorcreep remarked while crossed his hooves, "Maybe somepony needs to learn how to be quiet and not bragging about adventures to them, so the students wouldn't get some funny ideas to do this."

"He does have the point," Tailtech agreed calmly.

Rainbow groaned, "Gimme a break…"

"Seriously. Why didn't you just punish and suspend them?" Hitch asked in confusion.

Fluttershy gasped, "Oh no! We can't do that. That would be harsh."

"Not to mention, it might make School of Friendship looks bad because the school is for both ponies and other creatures to learn and studied the Magic of Friendship," Rarity added in concern, "It's only have been one and half year. We have to play it safe."

Izzy hummed thoughtfully, "She does have a good point."

"Still, where could they be?" Zipp asked in concern.

Before anyone could answer, something or someone teleported in middle of the square. This shocked and alerted three heroic teams as they found bruised yet unconscious Alphabittle and Queen Haven on the ground.

"MOM?!" Zipp and Pipp asked in concern and fear.

Izzy gasped, "Alphabittle! Are you alright?! What happened?!"

"Move aside! Let us heal them!" Aqua said firmly as she used her Water Healing on Queen Haven while Shorty used his medical treatment on Alphabittle. She hummed in concern while magically healing her wounds, "Damn it. Their wounds are very serious."

"Who could have done to them?" Hitch asked in concern.

SCREAM! Everyone was alerted by the loud screams as they turned and looked back. They found many ponies were running for their lives. They then found Mrs. Cloverfield was running towards them.

"Mrs. Cloverfield? What happened?!" Saber asked in concern.

Mrs. Cloverfield gasped and panted heavily, "It's my son! He was held captive by some eagle-like masked Earth Pony! He's now using the War Machine against us!"

"WHAT?!" Everyone asked in disbelief.

"I thought we destroyed the machine?!" Pipp asked in shock and annoyed.

Mrs. Cloverfield sighed, "Clearly Sprout has more behind the garage. Honestly that boy…"

"Never mind that. Where are they?!" Blazefist asked firmly and seriously.

And to their fear and concern, three heroic teams and their allies looked up and found a new and improved Sprout's War Machine, which is now equipped with machine guns and missile launchers. It is now driven by Ripper and the captured Sprout, who was gagged and tied up to the front of War Machine.

Ripper chuckled amusingly, "Here's Ripper! I will eliminate you first before I returned home! I will make sure that none of you will live!"

Everyone was intimidated and scared as Shadow Dragon cursed in disbelief and anger, "Damn it! Just what we need…"





Back at Sunny's Lighthouse Home, Blackwitch revealed her reason to her teacher and friends. They were all deeply shocked and couldn't believe it while Sunny remained calm and firm as she nodded in confirmation about what she has said.

"That can't be…" Twilight said in disbelief.

Rak sighed, "I can't believe he would go that far."

Blackwitch nodded firmly before asked, "What will you do now?"

"I won't do anything, but you will tell everyone else especially Shadow Dragon and Mr. Tao about the Jade Emperor's secret." Twilight said firmly, "They all deserve it. No more lies and secrets. Understand?"

Blackwitch nodded firmly, "Understand."

"And of course, you owe Sunny an apology," Twilight added firmly and seriously.

Blackwitch sighed as she faced Sunny, "I'm sorry, Sunny for trying to burn down the research your father has been working for."

Though still angry and upset over it, Sunny sighed calmly, "It's alright. I don't hold a grudge against you for doing what you have to do."

"Sunny…" Ciel said in concern. Sunny looked at her. She asked, "You never told us what happened to your father."

"Yeah. What happened to him?" Rak asked.

Sunny sighed, "My dad passed away because of the heart stroke. He worked so hard to prove that your history is real. But nopony believed in him."

Twilight looked sympathetically as she apologized, "I'm sorry. We're truly sorry for this mess, Sunny."

"I'll be fine," Sunny said calmly while looking at the research papers, "It's just papers. Besides, with you all here and alive is the proof enough that my father was right. Thank you, Princess Twilight."

Twilight smiled warmly, "You're welcome."

BOOM! Twilight and her friends a loud explosion as the ground was shaking. They quickly exited out of the house. They were in deep shock and concern, looking at the Maretime Bay. The black smokes emerged out from its five parts of town while more explosion ignited.

"W-What's going on?" Rak asked in concern.

Twilight hissed in fear, "Trouble…"





At the town square, three heroic team were engaging and battling the War Machine. And at the same time; Pipp, Fluttershy and Pinkie were guiding and leading the pony civilians to their safety. Finished with healing and treating Pegasus and Unicorn Leaders, Aqua held Alphabittle on her back while Shorty, Tailtech and Mrs. Cloverfield carried and moved Queen Haven to safety. After evacuating the civilians, they all quickly returned to the battlefield and helped their allies to fend off the enemy.

Just as Sprout's War Machine continued firing its machine guns at his enemies, both Laxtinct and Icy jumped to the front as they summoned and combined their powers into Fortress Walls of Ice to block and deflect the blasts. And at the same time, Blazefist and Terrorcreep fired and blasted their Fireball Shots and Thunderballs at him. While he was distracted to fire his weapons at them, Applejack quickly used and lassoed her Mind Whiplash on the weapons as she, Izzy and Hitch pulled and destroyed them. This allowed Shadow Dragon and Saber charged and cut the ropes, allowing Rainbow and Zipp dashed in and rescued Sprout and put him to the safety zone.

Three heroic teams continued attacking the War Machine. Ripper became very annoyed and irritated by their constant attacks. Looking at the console, he smirked sinisterly as he pushed all kinds of buttons. The War Machine unleashed the barrage of missiles on the heroes. They quickly dodged and evaded the attacks quickly and swiftly before hiding behind the large debris. He gave a cackling laughter, watching his enemies hiding from his War Machine's range of attacks.

Ripper chuckled evilly, "That's it! Die! Die! DIE! NOW!"

Hitch yelped, "Man, this guy's crazy?! What's his deal?!"

"Ripper is a psychopathic serial killer," Terrorcreep snapped firmly, "He doesn't care and hesitate at all! He will kill anyone that stand in his way!"

Izzy gulped, "He sure did some serious workout on the War Machine. This one is much scarier than Sprout's old one! Yeesh! I thought that's the only machine he has!"

"I thought so too!" Hitch admitted in concern.

Looking at the scientist, Blazefist called out, "Shorty! What we got here?"

"From the looks of it, it's not good." Shorty said in concern while studying and analyzing the War Machine, "It's unlike any tanks I ever seen, but I know it's very terrifying and dangerous especially it is equipped with weapons and arsenals. We have to take it out!"

"Easy for you to say! How?!" Tailtech asked in concern.

"Keep fighting! That's what!" Aqua said determinedly as she unleashed and fired her Hydro Cannon at the War Machine. She continued, "We need to give everything we have to beat that jackass!"

"She's right. He maybe the Ultimate Warrior of Death, but that doesn't mean he can beat all of us." Shadow Dragon said firmly and determinedly, "We need to combine our powers to take that machine down."

Blazefist nodded thoughtfully, "Good idea, Shadow Dragon. Pair up and give it all you've got! Let's show him why we're the best!"

"Not without Twilight and Sunny!" Pinkie exclaimed in concern, "Theyr'e the Main Characters of two shows! Can't start without them!"

"Lucky for you! We've just arrived!" Twilight exclaimed firmly as she and Sunny have teleported and entered the battlefield. She looked at her friends, "We're here now."

"About time," Shadow Dragon said in relief, "The students?"

"Safe at my home," Sunny said calmly. She then looked at the War Machine. She yelped in fear, "Are you kidding me?! Another Was Machine?! Just how many of them does Sprout make?"

"No clue. But I rather not find out," Hitch said in concern.

"It doesn't matter. We have him outnumbered and surrounded," Terrorcreep said firmly and seriously.

"Agree. Alright, everyone, give everything you've got!" Blazefist ordered firmly and seriously.

As Ripper continued unleashing the barrage of bullets and missiles; Shadow Dragon, Twilight and Sunny jumped out and fired their Chaos Hyper Blast, Sparkling Star Blast and Magical Starlight at him. The attacks blast and knocked him back a bit. Blazefist, Aqua and Saber jumped up as they combined and unleashed the power of Firestorm Phoenix, Hydro Cannon and Tornado Beam Blasts as they created powerful blast, ramming and knocking it off.

The War Machine managed to land safely on the ground before unleashed the missile barrage on them. Luckily, Laxtinct, Icy and Pinkie summoned and fired Gatling Stones, Frozen Shards and Party Launcher to cause them exploded. And at the same time, Rarity and Izzy summoned and used her Barriers to block and deflect the attacks. Terrorcreep unleashed his Thunderstorm on the War Machine, electrocuting and shocking both it and even Ripper. Rainbow and Zipp flew in as they both charged and rammed on the War Machine's both sides, shaking it hard as they can.

"Give him some hell, everyone!" Blazefist exclaimed firmly and determinedly, "Don't let up!"

"Hey! Watch your language!" Hitch exclaimed in annoyance.

While the rest of his team continued attacking Ripper and his War Machine, Shorty summoned the Vine Whip to coil up and held the War Machine down. This allowed Hitch and Applejack to use lasso in bringing down the machine guns and missile launchers. On the back of War Machine's backpack-like, Tailtech and Pipp were trying to deactivate and removed the large battery. Just as they did, they found Ripper glared at them as he prepared to finish them. He felt the tapping on his back. He turned and found Fluttershy narrowed her angry eyes, activating the Stare on him, paralyzing him. Activating his Armor Mode for himself and Pipp, they both charged and rammed him to the ground.

Ripper grunted in pain as he tried to get up but instead got coiled up by Shorty's Vine Whip and even Laxtinct's Stone Trap. He's now surrounded and trapped by three heroic teams.

"Damn it…" Ripper snarled in anger.

"We've got you now, Ripper. You've lost," Blazefist said seriously and firmly.

Ripper growled angrily, "No! No! No! I won't let our kind be extinct! Never again!" He glared at three heroic teams, "I will bring all of you down before I returned to my past! To ensure and secure Mystic Ponies' future! I promised you for that!"

"Yeesh. What is up with him?!" Sunny asked in concern.

Everyone shrugged in confusion. Saber remarked, "Well, Ripper is a mad pony with no reason and no conscience because he enjoyed killing the lives than saving them. He doesn't call himself 'Ultimate Warrior of Death'."

Shadow Dragon nodded in agreement, "Yeah. But still. What does he mean about our kind extinct?"

Fluttershy gulped, "I'm a little worried of that."

Everyone was uncertain and concern about the situation. Sunny spoke in concern, "This might have something to do with Mystic Demon."

"The powerful being that exists to destroy the world?" Aqua asked in disbelief and concern. Sunny nodded in confirmation. She hissed angrily, "No! There is no way Shadow Dragon would do such a thing! He can't be the Destroyer! He wouldn't kill all of us!"

Tailtech nodded firmly, "Yeah, me too! Besides, the prophecy was finished."

"No. Not finished." Hitch corrected his friends, who looked confuse and uncertain. He continued, "It's not Shadow Dragon. He wasn't the real Mystic Demon. It was his rival."

"WHAT?!" Everyone but Twilight and Sunny's Team asked in confusion.

"What do you mean by that?" Icy asked in confusion.

Applejack hissed in concern, "Don't tell me that-!"

"That's a lie!" Ripper exclaimed in anger. He snarled while armed with his knives, "I refused to believe that is the legend and history! I will not let you all make the mockery of my kind! I will kill you all for this!"

Ripper screamed angrily as he charged straight at three heroic teams. They all barely dodged and evaded the attack. Unfortunately, he was madly crazy and faster as he managed to keep up with them before swinging and slashing his knives, injuring and wounding them badly. They all dropped to the ground hard while moaning and groaning in pain and agony.

"Dang it…" Zipp grunted in pain, "This guy's quick and crazy…"

Rainbow groaned in pain while nodded, "He is. If only I could use my Sonic Rainboom, I could knock him out for good."

Aqua hissed in pain, "No! If you do that in close range, you could blow us or even the town."

Shadow Dragon groaned in pain, "Well… I don't care how fast he is. There is no way he's getting away from this."

"I'm with you," Saber agreed firmly while trying to get up and armed with his Twin Dragon Sabers, "We're not out yet!"

"Agreed. We will stop and beat him first and get the Element of Time and Space," Twilight said determinedly as she and her team also struggled to get up as well. She groaned, "We won't let you get back and destroy this future!"

Three heroic teams struggled yet painfully trying to stand up while armed themselves for the next fight. Ripper was annoyed and irritated that they're still persistent to keep on fighting. He found Sunny tried to get up as well. He quickly grabbed and held her as his hostage while pointing his knife at her neck. Everyone yelped in concern as they quickly halted at once.

"That's it, punks. Better stay away from me if you know what's good for you," Ripper taunted amusingly.

Three heroic teams hissed angrily as they can't do anything now. They halted their advance but remained vigilant and on guard to prepare for another strike.

Sunny grunted and struggled, "Don't worry about me! You have to take him out now! If you don't, he could destroy the future!"

"Quiet, bitch!" Ripper snapped angrily hitting on her head. Hitch growled in anger to see his childhood friend to get hurt. He tried to charge but halted by Shadow Dragon and Blazefist from doing anything rash. He continued, "Ah-Ah! I wouldn't do anything stupid if I were you. Now, you will get someone here immediately! I need her."

"Huh? Why can't he just use the Element of Time and Space to get back home?" Pipp asked in confusion.

Realizing about the Elements of Harmony, Terrorcreep spoke calmly, "He can't. Only the Chosen Ones or at least the ponies, who have pure goodness or magic connection to it can activate it."

"He needs Blackwitch!" Rarity said in realization. She hissed, "If we hand her over…"

Twilight interrupted with a sigh, "I know. But what choice do we have?"

Shadow Dragon hissed, "I don't think we have…"

"Good… Good… Now bring her here before I really get-! Arrrrrrrrrgggggh!" Ripper screamed in pain and agony. He looked back and found Kid Flare Tiger growling and biting on his flank. He growled in pain, "You little-!"

Sunny gasped, "Flare Tiger! Run!"

Ripper angrily and madly shook around his body, making Kid Flare Tiger dizzy and loosen her bite on his flank. Feeling her loosening, he quickly used his back leg to kick her off straight against the wall hard. She groaned and moaned in pain before dropped on the ground. Kid Flare Tiger sniffed in tears as she felt pain on her head.

Looking at young hybrid Alicorn badly injured, Sunny turned and glared at Ripper, who just turn his attention on her. She screamed angrily as she punched his mask hard before kicked him off. She levitated and thrown couple of items and bricks on him, injuring and wounding him as much as she wanted. Sunny's Team was surprised by her reaction as they didn't expect her to lose her composure like that. But Mane Six and Dragon Strike Force knew the feeling when it comes to someone they cared gets hurt. After firing her Unicorn Burst to knock him down, Sunny jumped on Ripper to the ground as she unleashed her punches on his face with fury and anger. He's unable to fight back due to her constant punching on him.

Unable to see her like that, Hitch quickly jumped in as he pulled and dragged Sunny away from punching Ripper. She angrily elbowed on his head as she tried to finish Ripper. Izzy, Zipp and Pipp have arrived and restrained her at once.

"Sunny! Stop!" Hitch pleaded.

Sunny screamed, "Let me go! He'll pay for what he did to Flare Tiger! I'll kill him! I'll rip him apart if it's the last thing I do!"

Pipp groaned, "And you think this Flare Tiger would be happy for this?!"

Sunny stopped while looked at her friends. Izzy nodded, "Please, Sunny! Don't kill him with hate! That's not how you do."

Zipp nodded in agreement, "Yeah. If you do that right in front of the kid, then she will be scarred for life. She won't think of you as a hero but monster."

Hearing what her friends have said to her, Sunny turned and looked at Kid Flare Tiger, who slowly recovered while rubbing her head. She then looked at her friends, who gave their concern and pleading looks. After careful consideration, she sighed calmly while calming down. Hitch gave her a warm hug as he was glad that she was alright.

Just before anyone could do anything, Ripper growled angrily as he quickly summoned and thrown couple of stones thrown at Sunny and her friends. Mane Six and Dragon Strike Force tried to help them. He then stomped on his foot, creating the Earthquake Shaker as it caused them to fall on the ground hard.

Ripper chuckled, "How noble but stupid you ponies are! You should have finished me when you have the chance! I won't ask again! Bring me Blackwitch now!" He summoned and levitated couple of boulders above the injured three heroic teams, "Or else, you die now!"

Kid Flare Tiger gasped, "Noooooooooooooo!"

Just as Kid Flare Tiger reached out her claw to Sunny, inside Ripper's trench coat, an Element of Time and Space was glowing brightly. Everyone was in shocked and confused to see it. Just before he could do anything, the Element magically flew out and knocked him by uppercut. It then flew straight to Kid Flare Tiger as it merging and combining its power together with her. She and the Element of Time and Space are now one.

Everyone gasped in surprise and shock of what they have witnessed. Kid Flare Tiger is now a wielder of Element of Time and Space!

"Wow. It did choose her!" Hitch remarked in surprise.

Shadow Dragon smiled in relief, "We were right!"

Twilight smirked, "Looks like you can't go back to the past, Ripper."

"You think this is funny?!" Ripper asked angrily. He scoffed, "Fine then! I'll force her to do it then!"

Ripper screamed in anger as he charged straight at Kid Flare Tiger. The rest of the heroes quickly get up and tried to stop him from using her.

Unexpectedly, Ciel teleported in front of Kid Flare Tiger as she summoned the Barrier to block and repel him off. Yona charged and rammed at Ripper off. Rak jumped as Bo Staff to whack and injured him by body thrice before struck on his head. Just as Melody unleashed her powerful yet loud scream, Blackwitch helped amplify her Enhanced Magic on her scream at him. He groaned in pain yet dizzy from hearing that scream. Just as he was trying to recover, Ripper yelled in pain as he felt something stabbed through his chest. He looked up and found frightened and worried Sprout used his Deadly Dagger to stab on him.

Ripper growled in pain, "Damn you… Damn you all… For deception and destroying our kind…"

As Sprout pulled out the dagger, Ripper fell on his back, lying motionless and dead. He dropped it to the ground before cried in tears of fear. Everyone was shocked and surprised of what they have witnessed.

Hitch approached and checked on his former partner, "Sprout?"

"I'm so sorry! I'm sorry!" Sprout cried in fear and concern, "I didn't want! I didn't want to! H-He forced me to give another War Machine! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm so sorry0"

Hitch sighed calmly while patted on his shoulder, "It's alright, Sprout. No one's blaming you. Just glad you're alright. And you saved us too."

Still scared and worried, Sprout slowly calmed down and spoke, "Y-Yeah. I did save the town, right? Right?"

Hitch nodded a bit, "You did. Still got long way to go to fix the mess."

Sprout nodded a bit, "Yeah… I guess so…"

Approaching to Kid Flare Tiger, Sunny asked, "Flare! Are you alright?"

Kid Flare Tiger nodded fearfully while hugging Sunny, "I'm fine. I-I'm happy to see you… Alright…"

Sunny sighed while hugging back, "Yeah. I'm okay. I'm okay."

Blackwitch briefly looked at the dead body of Ripper. Though she knew it was necessary to prevent him from destroying the future, she also has concerns and uncertainty if she made the right decision with revealing the truth behind her secret order from Jade Emperor to others. She turned and looked at both her friends and teachers.

"Are you ready?" Twilight asked firmly.

"Ready for what?" Shadow Dragon asked in concern yet confusion.

After careful consideration, Blackwitch sighed in defeat, "Yes, I am…"





Three heroic teams including Alphabittle, Queen Haven, Mrs. Cloverfield and even Sprout returned to the Lighthouse's outskirt, where Blackwitch has decided to reveal the dark secrets behind Mystic Demon and the prophecy. She was still nervous and worried yet feared about their reaction to Jade Emperor's Secret.

Shadow Dragon spoke firmly yet calmly, "Okay, Blackwitch. What is this about?"

"Do you remember the prophecy involved with Mystic Demon that was destined to destroy the Mystic Realm?" Blackwitch asked in concern with a sigh. Almost everyone nodded that they knew about it. She continued in regret and shame tone, "Shadow Dragon wasn't really him. He's not a threat to Mystic Realm. He never was."

Mane Five and Dragon Strike Force were confused and uncertain by her claim. And at the same time, they becme suspicious and worried that there might more to the prophecy than they realized. Twilight, Sunny, Hitch and the students remained silent as they knew about the truth.

"What do you mean?" Fluttershy asked in confusion.

"If it wasn't Shadow Dragon, then who's the real Mystic Demon?" Icy asked.

Blackwitch sighed, "It was Nezha. Nezha Vengito. The true Mystic Demon that was destined to destroy the Mystic Realm and bring the end to Age of Mystic Ponies."

Everyone was deeply shocked and disbelieved of what they just head. Shadow Dragon was deeply angered and distraught about it as he couldn't believe of what he heard about the prophecy.

"Y-You're kidding, right?" Laxtinct asked in concern.

Blazefist was annoyed as he demanded, "Are you telling us that you lied to us and the whole world?! Why?! Why would you do this to him?!"

"I don't believe this…" Aqua remarked dryly and angrily.

Looking carefully at Blackwitch, Terrorcreep asked, "There's more to this, isn't it? Did Nezha asked you to hide the truth behind the prophecy and used Shadow Dragon as a threat like a scapegoat?"

"No. It wasn't him. It was his grandfather – Jade Emperor Lau," Blackwitch answered in shame tone.

"WHAT?!" Everyone asked in shock and disbelief.

"What the hell?!" Applejack asked in disbelief.

While crossed his hooves, Saber asked firmly, "Does anyone else know about this? Did Tao know about this?"

"No…" Shadow Dragon said in disbelief and concern, "He couldn't have…"

"Only Wisdom Seekers, my mother, Susanoo and Black Alpha know about this. The rest of Mystic Councilponies including your father knew nothing about this," Blackwitch said firmly and calmly.

"W-Why would he go far for this?" Fluttershy asked in disbelief.

Rarity nodded firmly, "Indeed. If he's a threat, the Mystic Emperor should have done something with him."

Rainbow scoffed, "And now, that jerk has become the Mystic Emperor and no telling what kind of sick and dangerous plan he has now. That Jade Emperor is such an idiot! Compare to Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, they're smarter than him!"

Blackwitch firmly glared at Rainbow, "If it were your family or at least the children, would you have the heart to finish them off?"

Everyone was shocked and surprised by Blackwitch's response to them. Most of them were still angry about giving the wrong prophecy.

"Yona understand," Yona said calmly. Everyone looked at her. She continued, "If it were pony family, pony do anything to protect them from the truth."

"You're kidding me?" Hitch, Laxtinct and Pinkie asked in disbelief.

Melody nodded in agreement, "Yona's right. The Mystic Emperor wants to protect his grandson because he's the only family he has. And of course, he doesn't believe that he's a monster."

"Guess we can't argue with that. Come to think of it, Mystic Tao did the same thing with his son for defending Master Shadow Dragon and never believe the prophecy," Ciel said in realization.

After careful thinking of what Yona, Melody and Ciel have said; almost everyone couldn't help but understand and sympathize the Jade Emperor for wanting to protect his grandson.

"That makes sense…" Shorty admitted in concern, "As much as I don't like this, the emperor did it because he loved his grandson so much and so he lost his son – Lord Pagoda Li. To lose another one will make him heartbroken and pain."

Tailtech sighed, "Yeah. I supposed it's true…"

Ciel patted Yona's back, "For a yak, you're quite smart and kind too."

Yona smiled, "Thank you, Ciel. Yona loved being smart and kind."

"Is there anything else we should know?" Terrorcreep asked firmly yet suspiciously.

"Yes, there is. Shadow Dragon is indeed the reincarnation of the former Chaos Herald of Ronin – Yami." Blackwitch said firmly, surprising everyone else. She continued, "The first prophecy prophesied that the Hero of Darkness shall rise and faced the Mystic Demon. The fate of Mystic Ponies will be decided."

"Me? Reincarnated from Yami?" Shadow Dragon asked in surprise, along with his friends.

Aqua hummed thoughtfully, "That explains a lot. So, you're saying that Shadow Dragon and Nezha will face and fight till death?"

"And don't forget about Mystic Ponies. What will happen to them if either of them wins?" Saber added in concern.

Blazefist nodded in concern, "That's a good question. Our future is uncertain now…"

"If it helps you, then I can provide you the answer," Hitch suggested happily.

"No!" Blackwitch said sternly, scaring the sheriff off. She continued seriously and firmly, "We've learned enough. We do not want to take the risk and cause a paradox to our timeline especially when we're dealing with other prophecies."

"Prophecies? There were more?" Tailtech asked in surprise yet curious.

Blackwitch nodded, "Yes, two more. But I will tell you that for another time. We focused on present threat first."

Blazefist nodded firmly and agreement, "She's right. Nezha and Dark Curse are main problems that we need to deal with for."

"Don't we ever get a break?" Laxtinct grumbled.

"Well, we can tell you guys about it," Hitch suggested, prompting Izzy to nudge him. He yelped, "What did I say?"

Izzy scoffed, "Blackwitch has already said 'no'. Didn't you listen to her?"

Zipp nodded, "She's right. Best not to tell them about fighting the Goat Emperor and Demon God. They need more time to prepare themselves."

Hitch sighed, "Fine. I'll keep my mouth shut…"

Twilight sighed calmly, "Even if we didn't learn much of our history, we did learn more about what caused pony tribes and other creatures to split."

Shorty nodded in agreement, "Agreed. We've learned that these three magical crystals were created by Tree of Harmony for unknown reason. The Last Princess of Equestria used them to fight the Dark Warlord. It resulted her to sacrifice her life to defeat him, but also cost her life and the ponies to lose their magic. This caused them to be paranoid and suspicious of each other before gone to their separate ways."

"That seems about it," Ciel agreed calmly, "But one thing concerns me is the Last Princess? Who was she?"

Twilight hissed in concern, "Please, don't tell me that Nyx is the Last Princess…"

"No. She wasn't. I can guarantee that," Sunny said calmly, making Twilight sighed in relief. She continued, "Nopony knew about the Last Princess but her legends only. She can be refereed as the last descendant of Princess Twilight and Shadow Dragon."

"Or so we thought," Pipp added in agreement while looking at Kid Flare Tiger. She smiled, "Guess this means her royal bloodline lived on."

"Speaking of bloodline," Mrs. Cloverfield said thoughtfully. She turned and looked at Sunny, "Sunny, you're an Alicorn and the Princess now. You are now our first Ruler and Princess of Equestria."

Alphabittle nodded, "Guess it's true. It's time for the Alicorn to take back its reign."

Queen Haven sighed, "As much as I want to be Royalty, I think it's time for me to abdicate and hand over my crown to her."

"No," Sunny said firmly and seriously, surprising everyone but Twilight. She continued with sigh, "I am not going to be the Princess or Ruler of Equestria. I'm not good at being a leader to ponies. I can't rule the Equestria."

"W-Why not? I'm sure we can help you with that," Mrs. Cloverfield suggested.

"Mummy, I don't mind becoming Princess," Sprout suggested happily. His mother gave him annoyed looks at him. He groaned, "Nopony ever take me serious."

"I get that you all want to follow and respect the tradition. But as far as I can tell, you three are the leaders the ponies need, not me or the Alicorns because they were long gone." Sunny said calmly yet firmly, surprising the group. She continued with a smile, "But my friends and I will be happy to help and defend our homes from bad guys. And who knows? There might be a new adventure for us to find and make friends with other creatures, just like Princess Twilight and her friends did before."

Everyone was surprised and amazed by Sunny's decision and proclamation. Though upset that they're unable to follow and respect the tradition, three pony leaders and even her friends smiled and nodded in agreement and understanding while bowing in respect to her. They will respect her choice now.

Twilight smiled warmly, "Not bad, Princess Sunny."

Sunny sighed with annoyed yet playful looks, "Please don't call me that."

"So, does anypony know how we get back to our time?" Pinkie asked in concern and confusion. She continued, "I mean Kid Flare Tiger has the Element of Time and Space now. I don't think she knows how to activate it."

Everyone yelped in concern before muttered as they have just realized and forgotten about getting back to their timeline. How would they able to get back home now?

"I don't think any of us can do that," Zipp said in concern.

Izzy nodded, "Yeah. Time Magic is very tricky and difficult to cast because no one knows how it works."

Rak sighed, "Guess we're stuck here forever…"

Yona looked sad and worried, "Guess we'll never seen them again."

Blackwitch cleared her throat in annoyance, "In case you've forgotten-" She then summoned Time Portal in front of everyone, "-I can summon and create Time Portal."

Everyone looked shocked and surprised of what they just saw. They all groaned in disbelief and annoyance that they have forgotten about it. Mane Six, Dragon Strike Force and even five students were standing before the Time Portal. They turned and looked at Sunny and her friends.

"Guess this is goodbye," Sunny said calmly yet sadly.

"Guess it is." Twilight said in agreement. Noticing the young Alicorn was upset and sad. She approached and patted her, "Hey, don't worry, Sunny. Remember, you're not alone. You've got friends and also new adventure for you all."

After thinking while looking at her friends, Sunny smiled warmly, "Yes, I guess so."

Looking at Kid Flare Tiger, Twilight spoke, "Sunny, watch over Flare Tiger. She is now the new Guardian of Time and Space. Meaning that she got whole new responsibility especially she might get involved with time travel to help us."

"Yeah. I got it. She's gonna be my little sister now. But how am I gonna help her with time travel or even finding out which part of history that she can appear."

"I wish I could tell you but I think it's best that you and Sunny find out on your own. Besides, your father's research will help you out to find the history."

"Yeah. I guess it is," Sunny agreed calmly. She gave Twilight a hug, "Goodbye, Princess Twilight. It's great to meet and hangout with you especially the advice. It was the best day I ever had."

Twilight smiled while hugging back, "Goodbye to you as well. And good luck with new adventure, Sunny."

"Got it," Sunny said calmly with a nod.

Everyone waved and said goodbye to each other warmly and happily. Mane Five, Dragon Strike Force and even five students entered Time Portal now, returning to their timeline. Twilight and Shadow Dragon were the last ponies to enter.

"Princess Twilight!" Sunny called out. Twilight turned and looked at her. She continued, "Even if you couldn't find the Pony Magical Crystals or can't change the future, we'll be alright with this. We can do it."

Twilight smiled calmly, "I know you can. Just remember that you're not alone."

Sunny nodded, "I know…"

Twilight and Shadow Dragon entered the Time Portal before it closed and disappeared into dust. Everyone chattered and muttered curiously about it.

"Think they made it back home?" Pipp asked.

Sunny nodded calmly while patted Kid Flare Tiger's head, "I'm sure they do. They're gonna do what they do best. And so are we."

Hitch smiled, "Yeah. I'm sure they do. After all, they're the Legendary Heroes of Equestria and Mystic."

"Ready for new adventure?" Izzy asked happily.

Zipp nodded, "If you are, we're with you. After all, we're friends together."

"Yes, we are," Sunny said confidently as she placed her hoof out, "Hoof-to-Hearts!"

Sunny's Friends and even Kid Flare Tiger cheered while giving out their hooves with Sunny's, "Hoof-to-Hearts!"





Mystic Tao and Dragon Kick were mixing and mashing potions and ingredients, hoping to create Time Portal, so they can rescue their friends.

And to their surprise, Time Portal was created in front of Mystic Tao and Dragon Kick. Mane Six, Dragon Strike Force and students emerged out from the portal before disappeared. Both Mystic Ponies shouted and called out for their names while approaching and hugging both Twilight and Shadow Dragon.

"You're both safe. Thank the Light…" Mystic Tao said in relief, "What happened to Ripper and Element of Time and Space?"

Twilight said, "Oh, Mr. Tao, have we got a story for you."

Shadow Dragon nodded, "Yeah. You won't believe what we've been through."

Dragon Kick scoffed, "Try us."

Just as everyone was leaving the Arimaspi's Territory, Twilight and Shadow Dragon explained their adventure from the future to Mystic Tao and Dragon Kick. Their friends joined in to explain and agreed with them.

However, unknown to them, a strange yet mutated leech was hiding behind a small rock, which was near to the cavern's entrance. He growled angrily while glaring at them.

"Don't think it's over yet, fools. I've got what I need to tell Lord Nezha about what I've found from future," The mutated leech snarled before chuckled evilly, "You haven't seen the last of Ripper! I'll be back!"
