''Why in the hay is Time Skip still with the Soul Reaper for? I thought he hated them'' Applejack asked.
Twilight looked in the humans eye and noticed them glowing green for a second. ''I think he's been brainwashed to work for them!''
''Too bad we don't have the elements of Harmony anymore. Maybe we could have cure him like we did for Luna.'' Rainbow Dash said while hovering beside the Princess of friendship.
''Maybe we could use our rainbow powers. But the problem is that we would need him to be immobile for it to work.''
''Darling are you sure we can use this power here? We are pretty far from the tree of harmony.''
''If I could use the powers of the elements in the human world I'm pretty sure I can do it here too.'' Twilight replied confidently.
Fluttershy gulped. ''Now we just need to make in sort that a time travelling terrorist will be kind enough to stay in the same place while we beat him with Friendship.''
''I will try to restrain him with my magic if it doesn't work Rainbow Dash will try to tackle him on the ground.'' Rainbow Dash made a salute in response.
The purple princess lit up her horn and began to levitate the human. Unsurprisingly it didn't work for long as Time Skip sent a spiritual orb at Twilight. The Alicorn had to stop levitating him and protect herself with a magical shield.
As soon as he hit the ground Rainbow Dash zoomed after him. She thought she had him but just when she was about to tackle him he appeared behind her and gave her a kick that sent her crashing on the ground painfully.
''Ow! Hey that not fair! Even if i'm the fastest thing alive I won't be able to catch him if he keep bending time!''
''Then I will be your eyes darling'' Rarity replied confidently. Rainbow Dash reponded with a nodded before going after Time Skip again.
''Okay duck right now! Jump in the air! Back of!! Look above you!'' With each warnings Rainbow Dash was able to escape the hits of Time Skip but she was still not able to catch him.
''Oh what can we do? If it's continue like that poor Rainbow Dash will be too tire to continue!'' Fluttershy put a hoof on her mouth and look at the battle with a worried expression.
''I have a idea maybe you could use the stare on him to stop him moving then use some of your snakes to tie him up before we blast him with the magic of friendship!''
''Oh um but I never tried the stare on a sapient being before, apart from Discord and you saw how well that went''
''But it worked when you were a bat pony!'' Twilight replied.
''Yes but I was more of an animal than a pony in this condition.''
''Well we got to try something and I don't have any other plan on how to deal with this guy!''
Fluttershy bit her lip before sighing in resignation. ''Fine I'll do it.''
She slowly approached Time Skip and made her eyes widden as wide as she could ans stare at him. Time Skip looked unimpressed. ''Get out of my way pony.'' He said in a monotone voice before lifting his arm and clenched his fist.
Fluttershy seeing she was about to get punched stop her stare and placed her hooves in front of her face defensively. But just as he was about to hit her Time Skip stopped in his track.
The glow in his eye began to flicker frantically. After a while he dropped on his knee breathing heavily. ''Quick kill me before I hurt her! I will never hurt Fluttershy damn me to Oasis if I do, kill me now!''
The element bearers look at each other in shock but soon began to nod to each other.
Soon their manes and tails began to glow with all the colors of the rainnbow and Time Skip was blasted with the strongest magic of Equestria.
Time Skip opened his eyes and noticed the influence of the spell was gone. ''I'm alive?'' The element bearers nodded at him with a smile.
''You should have kill me I don't deserve redemption after killing Peace Dreamer.''
Fluttershy slowly approached him and lift his chin so he couldn't look away from her eyes. ''I forgive you.''
Time Skip looked at her in shock for a few seconds before a few tears slid down his cheeks. Without warning he embranced the bearer of kindness and began to uncontrollably sob in her mane.

To say the mercenaries were shocked at what they saw was a understandment nobody would except a griffin to show up on a battlefield with a violin. Sonata played a short song while people were being slaughtered around him.
What they also didn't expect was for a bolt of lightning to come out of the violin ans strike them dead.
Sonata was surprised to hear someone sarcastically clapping after he killed the two mercenaries.
''Bravo brother good performance. But you should have stayed in Canterlot. Your way of casting magic is too slow to be useful on a real battlefield.''
Sonata scowled when he saw Alexander standing in front of him. ''So I assume I will have to fight against my own flesh and blood now right?'' He huffed in annoyance. ''Story of my life.''
Alexander scowled. ''Don't act so confident I just killed father before coming here. With your death I will be the last member of our family who is still alive and there are no way I will let you tarnish this chance to start anew!''
Sonata growled but didn't respond
A certain Zebra spot them and came rushing. ''Sonata is this your brother you talked about?'' She asked while preparing her bow but Sonata lift his claw to signal her to stop in her track.
''Brew Blade Don't come any closer this is between him and me.''
Alexander smirked at that. ''Turning down the help of your friends? You are more crazy than I thought you would need the help of an army to defeat me as I am!''
Sonata smirked in response. ''I was about to say the same thing.''
Sonata began to frantically play the same song from earlier, while Alexander began to rotate the soul catchers in his right gauntlet. Then both at the same time the two brothers unleashed a bolt of lightning at each other.
The two bolts connected resulting in a shock wave that sent the two griffins recoiling. Sonata look at his brother with a smug smile. ''Well, well, well the way you talked earlier made me think you had a advantage but it look like your gauntlet is just as slow as my violin.''
''Only to change of spell but can you cast the same spell quickly like that?!'' Aleaxander proceed to send bolts after bolts of lightning after his brother. Most of them miss their target but the last one hit it target.
Sonata screamed in agony as the bolt course throught his body and sent his heart beating uncomfortably quick. Alexander was going to send another bolt at him but he noticed that the soul catcher had lost most of it glow. Meaning it was almost empty and if he did use it more the spark inside would be freed which really wouldn't be good for him in the mist of a battle. So he had to change of soul catcher.
''Sonata!'' Brew Blade was about to rush at him but once again he lift and claw and shook his head at her.
Unfortunately even thought he stopped his ally from interupting it didn't meant the Reapers were so courteous. A few mercenaries seeing him on the floor rush to deliver the final blow.
But Sonata quickly lift himself up from the ground and began to play a diferent song. Once the song was over the mercenaries eyes widden in horror and they began to run as far away they could from the griffin.
''I made your little friends deadly afraid of me they shouldn't interupt us anymore.''
Alexander frowned. ''Pity if they killed you I wouldn't have to waste any more magic on you. But being the honorable giffin you are you would want to have a fair fight to the end. Let get this over with shall we?''
Alexander threw a big wave of wind. Sonata had to cover his eyes from all the wind that came in his direction. A few soldiers and mercenaries stop fighting to watch where all this random wind came from.
Alexander then threw a fire ball with his left gauntlet that immediatly became bigger and bigger as it sore throught the wind.
Sonata jumped out of the way but the when the fire ball impacted with the ground it created a shock wave that send him crashing on his head.
A few second later Sonata rub his head and lift himself up but with all the the smoke and the dizziness he didn't see Alexander coming before it was too late.
With his Earth magic Alexander created a spear made of rock and stabbed his brother in the lungs. Brew Blade eyes widden in horror as Alexander began to laugh.
''Sonata, NO!'' The zebra screamed as tears began to pour out of her eyes.
Alexander took took Sonata violin and smashed it on the floor. ''You won't need this anymore brother, you shouldn't have stand in my way. Because of you I didn't became a prince and now you pay the price.''
''You forgot one thing brother.'' Alexander smirked in response.
''Oh? And what it is?''
Sonata tighten his grip on the bow of his violin and press a button. The hidden blade sprung out of it's hiding place and immediatly after Sonata stabbed his brother. ''You forgot that the violin is not my only weapon!''
In a panic Alexander threw his gauntlets far away and attempted to snatch the finisher around Sonata's neck. But Sonata push his brother on the ground before he could break it.
''You..fool we...will both die if you don't destory that thing...''
Sonata smiled not a menacing smile or a happy one but the serene smile of someone who had accept his fate. ''Our family have...dirtied the face of Equis long enough...Our bloodline stop right here...'' After his last word he began to cough and spit blood on the floor.
Sonata finally fell on the ground. Brew Blade galloped in his direction to try to destroy the finisher. But when she came close enough it was arleady too late the magic was launched and exploded.
In a sense it was poetic. A fight with his family was what started Sonata new life and it was also a fight with his family that ended it.

Ayagi and twenty of his trolls observed the battlefield from afar.
''Jaafan say that we should just go and kill as many soldiers we can like we usually do!'' One of the trolls suggested and the others roar in approval.
''No'' Ayagi replied which earned disappointed groans from his warriors. ''We need to attract all their attention so mistress can fight the Elders in peace. Ayagi say we attack this place.'' He said while pointing at a small building in the distance surounded by a small fort made of wood.
The building was farther away. Far enough to not be attacked by accident in the ragging battle but not too far to make in sort the soldiers could run there in a few minutes if they need to. The place was used to mend the soldiers of the allied force that have been injured during the fight.
Attacking it would surely attract the attention of all the allied force. That strategy went over the head of most of the trolls. But they wouldn't dare question their King. And so they charged in direction of the building.
