//------------------------------// // Chapter 7.5: Answers from above. // Story: When Times Collide // by RobtheMorpherPony //------------------------------// Previously, the main six and nine ponies from future Equestria managed to defeat and somehow 'kill' Yin-yang who in his final moments was somehow happy that he was dying. And now, the group is face to face with his father, The Creator. "I apologize for not being fully aware of Yin-Yang's involvment in your world. By the time I had realized what it was he was trying to accomplish, you were already in his cave. And at that point, it was far too late." The Creator said. "Maybe it's not too late to fix our world though. You are his father after all and The Creator." Sprout said. "Trust me, if it was really that simple, I'd be all too happy to do so. And yet, I'm afraid my son has done the unthinkable." The Creator said. "What exactly did he do?" Applejack asked. "Not only did Yin-Yang cause your times to collide, but he also locked the ability to undo all of this behind his powers and his powers alone; knowing full well that your Discord would point him out as the culprit and essentially lead to his demise. As much as I want to help, the lock my own son placed on the collusion of your two time periods won't budge even for the likes of me." The Creator said. "That bucking maniac!" Starlight said. "So...there's nothing we can do now? We're stuck in this time period for good now?" Sunny asked. "I'm afraid so. It would take a thousand of your years before his powers would reincarnate. By that point, you would all have passed on. This is unfortunately out of my non-existent hands now." The Creator said. "What are hands?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Hmph...wouldn't you like to know?" The Creator said before leaving. "...I guess if even The Creator can't help us, then there's not much for it; you are all stuck here." Twilight said. "It's not all bad. I actually get to hang out with the ponies my father would tell me stories about. There's a silver lining with all of this after all." Sunny said. "Speak for yourself; now I can't rule over the Pegasi." Haven said. "The flight team me and Soarin are making could use a manager though." Rainbow Dash suggested. "...I shall think on that..." Haven noted. "I'm sure there is something we can all do. But we don't have to figure it out right away. We have plenty of time after all." Alphabittle said.
