"Good to be back on the Darkline. Don't you think Ahsoka?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka smirks. "Only because you can have me alone with you."

"Yeah, Ridley is busy and none of the other officers are here. Which is why we got to blow off some steam." Blitz says as Ahsoka fixed her outfit. "So you appreciate that filling up your rear?"

Ahsoka hums as she looks herself over. "I have been thinking of how we should marry." She said fixing out the wrinkles.

"Oh, your thoughts?" Blitz asks smirking.

Ahsoka smirks. "Yeah, I already got markings. No one would notice a tattoo ring or maybe a tattoo on the whole hand."

"Just hide it among other tattoos for your people and then when it's all over, I will slide a ring on that finger of your hand." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiles. "Sure. Just make sure that I'm always having a good place among your family. It seems that others won't hold me in that regard at times. Your mother seems to still have some questions about me."

"About what exactly?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka shrugs. "No idea. She just gives me the feeling that she is quite questionable with me. Is she always like that?"

"With the girls, at first. You should have seen the stink eye she gave Twilight for the first few days after meeting her and finding out she was my wife." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiles. "Like a good mother." She said looking back to him.

"So you ready for this?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka sighs. "Well, you keep doing what you do and I'll do mine. Just don't mix the magic and force powers again."

"Ok, so you know the plan, right? While master Plo and Luminara attack the land base targets and master Fisto attacks the ocean targets, we will attack their shipyards and cripple them." Blitz says now holding her.

Ahsoka smiles. "Yeah, just be sure to keep hitting them from behind and I'll keep up the pressure."

"So you going to tell me what the republic decided to either capture or destroy the ship yards or do I have to coax it out of you?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka rolls her eyes. "Down boy. They want to capture it. Thinking it might be a good staging area."

"Ok." Blitz says laying his head in the crook of her neck.

Ahsoka smiles and leans her head on his. "Love you Blitz."

"Love you too Ahsoka Read." Blitz says.

Ahsoka giggles as she just pats his head. "Still need to work on that name. But maybe later."

Blitz smiles. "Nope. You married me so unless you want it to be Ahsoka Tano Read than no." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs. "We'll think about it. For now, work calls."

Blitz sighs. "Fine. Let's go." He said letting her go and getting dressed as Ahsoka headed out. "Also, your skirt is stuck up and showing yourself."

Ahsoka eeps and pulls her skirt down and glares to the smirking Blitz. "Shut up." She said blushing and rushing off now.

Blitz only chuckles. "And that's my wife."


Blazer smiles as he walks around town after doing today's chores. "Mommy, that is everything right?" Blazer asks.

Applejack nods and looks to the many things and bags they have on their backs. "Yep, now we can head home. By the way, did you hear about Diamond turning over a new leaf?" She asks smirking.

"Yeah, I did." Blazer says as Surgere kept her eyes on him.

Applejack grins. "You going to ask her out?"

"I know not what you speak of." Blazer says as Surgere waits for the right moment to pounce.

Applejack chuckles. "Yeah, right. Just go ahead. She's fine now. Or would you rather be a chivalrous griffon?"

"I…" Before Blazer could finish, Surgere pounced onto him.

Applejack laughs as Surgere was actually overpowering Blazer and trying him up with a little rope.

"Ah, you two playing?" Applejack asks.

Blazer groans as he tries to get Surgere off of him. "Get her off of me."

"Come here sweetie." Applejack says getting her daughter.

Blazer sighs in relief as Surgere laughs in Applejack's hooves. "Finally. Don't let her do that again." He said cutting away at the rest of the ropes with his claws.

"Come on, don't you love your little sister?" Applejack asks holding her up to his beak and Surgere grabs it.

Blazer frowns as Surgere laughs and pulls at his beak at times. "Sis, cut that out."

Surgere smiles before kissing the top of his beak.

Blazer stops and blushes before trying to get her off. "Sis."

"Aw, she loves her big brother." Applejack says before taking her back and putting her on her back.

Blazer sighs in relief as he wipes his beak before blinking for a bit and turns his head and smirks. "Hey mom, can I stay out a while longer in town?"

"Not much longer. Remember, Lightning is going to teach you today." Applejack says petting her son's head.

Blazer looks up to her pleadingly. "Aw come on mom."

"You know Lightning doesn't have much time in between taking care of Onyx and her job." Applejack reminds.

Blazer sighs. "Fine."

"Ok, don't keep your stepmother waiting." Applejack says before walking off with Surgere.

Blazer smiles. "Thanks mom." He said before getting up and running off and takes a look around before heading down an alley.

Applejack raises an eyebrow. "Huh, maybe he saw the Diamond filly."

He in fact did not. Blazer smiles as he sees a group of colts around a circle with spray cans. "Boys, do I got a proposition for you." He said smirking.

"Huh?" One of them asks.

Blazer nods. "How would you like to work with me? Forgot about tagging and pranks. How about things more fun?"

"What's more fun?" A bored one asks.

Blazer hums. "Going around. Giving guards and troops the slip. Maybe watch them bumble around. Plus, we can hear things that might be worthwhile to us. Who knows, we can have home in multiple places at once. And it would be all ours. Even Canterlot, Manehattan. Anywhere can gain a hoofhold."

"The guy has a big head." One whispers to another.

Blazer shrugs. "All right. Fine. Spend your days just getting in trouble with tagging and pickpocketing. I'll be getting higher than you though. Or…" He stops and looks to them. "We can get to know each other and maybe we can be the best of friends with even bigger ideas."

"Oh, what the heck. I'm bored anyways." One says.

Another shrugs. "I am getting bored of using my mom's allowance for spray cans." He said picking up a spray can.

"Alright we'll hang with you but we have to head home for lunch." One says.

Blazer nods. "Fine by me. See you later." He said walking away.

After he got home, he saw Lightning waiting with Arcane and Azure. "I see you finally show up." She says.

Blazer chuckles nervously. "Sorry. Saw something interesting. Turns out to be nothing."

"Well then get your pack. We are going camping." Lightning says.

Blazer blinks. "Camping?"

"Yes, now come on." Lightning says.

Blazer still blinks as Arcane and Azure pack their things. "Hey, where's Sunshine?"

"She knows what I am going to teach and as such on a higher level than you three." Lightning says.

Blazer sighs as he starts packing his bag. "Alright. Where are we going?"

"That is a surprise." Lightning says getting up and leading them.

Blazer groans and steps besides Arcane and Azure. "So…anything she's told you other than these?" He asks them.

"She said we would be gone all weekend." Arcane says.

"I miss dad." Azure says.

Blazer sighs. "How long until dad get back?" He asks Lightning.

"Your father is away fighting a campaign, so I can't say." Lightning says her tone gentler now.

Blazer groans. "Man."

"Come here you three." Lightning says picking them up.

They all blink as Lightning hugs them. "Um…" Arcane tries to say.

"I am also one of you mothers and I care about all three of you." Lightning says.

They all stare at her before smiling. "Thanks mom." Azure said.

"No problem. Now your father is fighting with all of his might out there to keep you safe you three. So even if he isn't here, he is thinking of you all." Lightning says.

Blazer smiles. "Yeah, figure he might be."

"Now come on you three. This will be fun." Lightning says.


"And with that, we have more than three fourths of the shipyards under our control." Blitz says after blasting the last droid in the control room.

Ahsoka smiles as a droid was running around with no arms. "Good. This might be good for us and to repair and rearm our ships."

"Yeah, also we now have the support of three-eighths of the governing people. Who knew they would support us especially being so divided." Blitz says.

Ahsoka hums. "Maybe they just want a better work life."

"Or maybe they are that divided in their government. Either way, by doing this, we have cut off one of the Separatists critical shipyards. I just hope the others are faring as well." Blitz says.

Ahsoka stares at him. "You sure they can hold up?"

"I sent our zoid and armor divisions to Luminara and sent a few squads of amphibious zoids to aid Master Fisto. The Separatists are not the only ones with heavy amphibious weapons anymore." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiles. "Not bad. Though we can check around if you want."

"You are right. All you units, finish securing the shipyard and find a place for us to set up and launch our fighter jets." Blitz says into his communicator.

"Sir." He heard back,

"Now then." Blitz says taking a seat at the console.

Ahsoka leans on the seat over him. "What do we got?"

"I am stealing all of their plans, blueprints, and everything from the computer system for our own use." Blitz says.

Ahsoka hums. "I see. Then let's see who the contracts are connected to this place. They do outsource a lot in shipyards."

"Exactly…Ahsoka, we have something." Blitz says.

Ahsoka hums as she leans in to the screen. "What is it?"

"Take a look." Blitz says bringing up a video showing a fallen jedi getting off a transport at the shipyards.

Ahsoka frowns. "Where is this guy?"

"Records don't show him leaving the planet. Or coming back to the shipyards. I need some troops to secure the brown ship in hangar 5." Blitz says the last part into the communicator.

Ahsoka sighs. "May I?"

"Go ahead. See what you can find." Blitz says.

Ahsoka nods and runs off. "I'll be back."

After she was far enough away, Blitz got up and ignited his darksaber. "I know you are there." Blitz says.

A crate was moved. "Not bad. Better than the kid." A voice said nearby.

"I knew from the start. Just wanted her out of harm's way." Blitz says taking a darker tone.

"Heh, should have kept her for backup." The voice said again.

"You underestimate me. So Dooku figured out our target huh and sent you to try and kill the leadership correct?" Blitz asks.

"More or less." It said.

"You are well train, but I am better trained." Blitz says before turning around and shooting force lightning.

Blitz saw the movement and slowly walks out into the open. "Not enough." He calls.

"Oh?" Blitz says before unleashing his flamethrower on his gauntlet into a large arc.

"So burn the place down!" He calls and jumps through a window.

"You foal." Blitz says aiming a rocket on his gauntlet at the fire that caught onto him and fires.

"Idiot." He heard him mumble and sees the rocket fly into another direction and it explodes a bit afterward.

"Oh you're not the run of mill I see." Blitz says before engaging his cloak and activating his thermal sensors in his helmet.

Blitz stealthily followed Dooku's assassin on a chase throughout the shipyard, both trying to wait for the other to make a mistake.

Eventually Blitz takes a deep breath and stands in the middle of a supposedly empty chamber with his eyes closed and deactivates his stealth unit.

"And just what are you doing?" He hears the voice echo through the room.

Blitz didn't answer and lets his senses extend outwards as he grips his dark saber close.

"You know, it's stupid sometimes to stand in the middle of a room." The voice said again.

"Or is it stupid to suddenly jump at your opponent?" Blitz asks suddenly throwing his darksaber which was now ignited to the left into the air as it stayed guided by the force until it impaled something.

"Wha…what the…" He hears and looks over to see a dark cloaked person impaled on his darksaber still stuck in the air.

"Your overconfidence was your downfall." Blitz says as gravity took effect on the fallen jedi.

The fallen Jedi groans as he fell onto the metal flooring below the many walkways. "Damn you."

Blitz didn't even approach and uses the force to bring his darksaber to himself.

Blitz hums as he looks over the darksaber. "No blood. Good. I hate cleaning." He said to himself as he turns it off and just walks away.

"Chief." Some mandalorians call rushing up.

"Deal with that one and bring me his lightsaber." Blitz instructs.

The Mandalorians rush off as Blitz sighs. "Okay, that should be all…mostly." He said to himself as he checks out his datapad. "Ahsoka, can you hear me?" Blitz asks over his communicator as he looks through the datapad as he heard two blaster shot indicating they were checking if he was dead.

"Yeah, I can't find this guy. Can you see him?" Ahsoka asks.

"Yeah, he's dead." Blitz says.

Ahsoka was silent for a bit. "You are such a mood killer, you know that, right?"

"You still like me." Blitz says.

Ahsoka huffs. "Open channel."

"I know. Reconvene at where we decided to make our base of operations." Blitz says getting the lightsaber he was brought before switching to the secure channel. "So what did you find in the ship?" Blitz asks.

"Basic things. A few war things. Some robots. Basically one who is going to war needs." She said.

"No instructions or anything?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka hums. "Not really. Guess it's a read and destroy."

"I see, so we can only assume what his orders were, but he was alone. Also, remind me to thank Plo Koon what he taught me. Won the battle for me." Blitz says.

Ahsoka chuckles. "Sure. Just be sure to have proof."

"You want us to bring the corpse?" Blitz asks.

"No, just his saber. That is proof enough." She said.

"I already have it. The guy was good at stealth though." Blitz says.

"Makes you wonder what he was using if any." She said in a questioning tone.

"Who knows, but we can bag and tag him now." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs. "I'll check back at the campsite. You can meet me there if you want."

"Already on my way." Blitz says.


"General, severely bad news." A droid says to Grievous.

Grievous looks to it with a glare. "What?"

"Yag'Dhul is under attack. The first fleet that was stationed there has already been destroyed." The droid says.

Grievous growls. "What?!" Grievous yells.

"General, we must fall back now or risk being isolated in between the Republic forces." A tactical droid advised.

Grievous huffs. "Let's go."

"Acknowledged, all remaining ships, retreat." The tactical droid says and soon the eleven separatist ships started to turn to retreat.


"Generals, Grievous's fleet, they are on the move." A clone reports.

Obi-wan smiles a bit. "Good, stay alert just in case."

"Master, what do you think this means?" Anakin asks.

Obi-wan hums. "Maybe he knows this place is a lost cause and will get another spot and make it more fortified."

"So that means that they have made good progress on Yag'Dhul then." Anakin says.

Obi-wan nods. "Has to be if it has him running."

"I hope those frigates have their cannons prepared and picks off a few of Grievous' ships as they go by." Anakin says.

Obi-wan waves him off. "They would always be prepared. It seems that's the motto with them. Unlike you Anakin."

Anakin huffs before saying, "Let's get back to work. With Grievous gone, we can make some good progress."

Obi-wan nods. "Yes, let us head for the ships left behind and take them out."

"To the planet." Anakin says.


A few months later, Blitz was onboard the Darkline when he received the report that Anakin and Obi-wan finished up Renillis and with that, the shipyards of Wroona remained unconquered in the inner rim area they were assigned to.

"And with that, the campaign is complete and our victory." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiles. "So you ready to head to another?"

"Yeah, our fleet is being rotated out for a rest. Another fleet will take our place and proceed to Wroona and the alliance will try and push further into Separatist space." Blitz says.

Ahsoka chuckles. "Shall we head back then?"

Blitz paused for a moment. "…no, let's go to Myrkr." Blitz says.

Ahsoka stares at him confused. "Why there?"

"I…don't know. I think the force is telling me to go there." Blitz says.

Ahsoka keeps watching him. "So you want to go?"

"I think I should. You mind coming?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka smiles gently. "Someone has to watch your flank."

"You would watch it anyways." Blitz jokes.

Ahsoka smirks. "Like you watch my ass?"

"Yeah." Blitz says going to the Darkstar One.

Ahsoka rolls her eyes. "You know that I'm supposed to be in front."

"So you mind just staying on the Darkstar One?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka shrugs. "Yeah, I won't mind."

"Thanks. Darkline, this is Darkstar heading out now." Blitz says the latter over the communications.

Ahsoka hums as she watches him. "So what do you have planned once you get back?"

"Before or after the swarm?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "Swarm?"

"The foals." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiles. "After then."

"Before or after you see Twi about turning you into a pony?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka hums. "Maybe a bit before and change along the way."

"Knowing mom, she will want to spend time with me." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smirks. "Or maybe hug you all day while saying 'my baby.' Over and over." She mimics.

"She can do that, I won't deny." Blitz says before going into hyperspace and gets up leaving the ship on autopilot.

Ahsoka smiles as she relaxes in her seat. "Question, what are we going to do in our spare time until we reach Myrkr?"

Blitz says nothing before getting in her lap in pony form.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow and looks down to him. "You want to be petted?"

Blitz hums as he leans against her. "Yeah, pet away my wife."

Ahsoka didn't start petting, but kissed his head.

Blitz smiles as he looks to her. "I love you my beautiful wife." Blitz says leaning against her.

Ahsoka smiles and hugs him. "Yeah, me too. How long until we reach the planet?"

"A few days. Darkstar One can really book it. If we were going with the fleet, it might be a month." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiles and hugs him tighter. "Then let's make sure that you get the most time out of your break."

"Ok, head to my room?" Blitz asks.

"Sure." Ahsoka says getting up with Blitz in her arms.

Blitz chuckles as he leans against her. "Such a good pillow."

"Ok, now change when we get into your room." Ahsoka instructs.

Blitz just grins as they enter his room.


"So Ahsoka, you find the latest sith as interesting as Imperius?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka nods. "Yeah, this one is an enigma in what we usually think."

"Kind of reminds me of a noble knight from Alderaan's history and tales." Blitz says.

Ahsoka hums. "Going to ask him for an autograph?"

"Hard thing to do." Blitz says bringing up an image of him and Imperius standing together. "Unless you have a time machine you are not telling me about." Blitz jokes.

Ahsoka chuckles. "Maybe your wife?"

"Farthest she can travel back is a week and only for a few moments." Blitz says.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "She went back one time?"

"Yeah, she told me about it when I asked why she never tried it again. She started getting stressed out going over what could go wrong like causing her parents never to meet, never going to Celestia's school for the gifted, ect as she unconsciously flew up till she hit the ceiling." Blitz said.

Ahsoka kept an eyebrow raised. "Really?"

"Yes, was quite adorable." Blitz says chuckling.

Ahsoka smiles. "When do you hope to go back?"

"After this. The force is guiding me here for some purpose. For what, I do not know just yet." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiles. "Well maybe I can help you."

"You promised you would stay on the ship remember?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka sighs. "Alright, I will stay on the ship, but you better not keep your wife waiting too long." Ahsoka warns.

Blitz smirks and kisses her. "I will try. Also, I found something interesting in the communication archives when searching for the Emperor's wrath and master Timmns. Want me to read it?" Blitz offers.

Ahsoka leans to him. "Sure. What is it?"

Blitz clear his throat before reading. "The subject is called 'A welcomed alliance'. I have had much to consider since our alliance on Belsavis. Darth Ekkage is one matter but a Jedi cooperating with a Sith is unprecedented. When I told the Jedi Council of our partnership, they couldn't believe it. For hours they debated, wondering how the Sith who hunted Jaesa Wilsaam could show such restraint. Confusion and prejudice clouds their minds. Your actions gave me hope. Though it may be decades before another Sith and Jedi join hands, I will ensure that our alliance serves as an example for all students of the Jedi Academy." Blitz reads.

Ahsoka stops and looks to him. "Okay, the Sith side is really surprising me."

"And it is members like this that make the jedi worthwhile." Blitz says.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "I thought you hated them."

"I hate the arrogance, the holier than thou attitude, the refusing to admit a mistake, and the not considering what your actions will bring to others part." Blitz says.

Ahsoka stops and looks to him while moving away a bit. "So…?"

"I love you my wife and first love. You gave me a little hope that the jedi are not all bad." Blitz says closing the distance.

Ahsoka looks at the distance between them. "So what are you going do?"

"Oh, I don't know." Blitz says slowly running his fingers up her arm. "Maybe raise kids with you."

Ahsoka stares at him. "Blitz."

"Yes?" Blitz asks leaning onto her.

Ahsoka pushes him back with a finger. "Blitz." She said almost annoyed.

"I love you Ahsoka Read." Blitz says.

Ahsoka stares at him before sighing. "Fine, do what you want." She said letting him go.

"Ahsoka, something is bothering you. I don't need the force to sense it." Blitz says.

Ahsoka shakes her head. "Nothing is wrong."

"Ahsoka…you're scared of being a mother aren't you?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka sighs and looks away slightly. "Blitz…if I do have kids and marry you, I'm placing our lives and future lives in danger because of it. They would come after us."

"No, the jedi won't if we feign you watching over us and I have this feeling I cannot shake it, but the galaxy will change dramatically in a decade or two." Blitz says.

Ahsoka hums. "Maybe, but they will find out soon."

"Ahsoka, I must ask, every time I think about the future, I have a bad feeling, do you get the same?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka looks to him and shakes her head. "Not by much." Blitz looks worried now, a sign that doesn't escape Ahsoka's notice. "Are you okay?"

"Ahsoka, is there a jedi technique that can allow you to sense what I sense?" Blitz asks unsure.

Ahsoka hummed as she thought. "Maybe…master Plo taught me a technique long ago, but I never fully mastered it." Ahsoka says.

"Then can we try?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka looks to him carefully. "I don't want to risk it without fully learning it."

"Then…can you ask master Plo to meet us here in secret?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka sighs. "I'll try." She said bringing up her communicator.

After a few moments Master Plo answered. "Ahsoka is there something wrong?" Plo asks.

"Master Plo, can you possibly meet me and Blitz alone at these coordinates?" Ahsoka asks.

"Just me a bit of time and I'll be there." He said before cutting the line.

"Well on the bright side, this will give us a few more days to study and enjoy the view." Blitz says.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "What view?"

Blitz lowered the shielding on the front view port for Ahsoka to see the sun starting to peek out from behind the planet Myrkr.

Ahsoka smiles as she watches the view. "Wow. Not bad a view." She said leaning close to the window.

"And we have a lot of time to enjoy." Blitz says sneaking a kiss.

Ahsoka blushes as she backs away a bit. "Cut that out."

"Only if you ask me seriously as my wife." Blitz says.


A few days later, a small jedi starfighter docked with the Darkstar one.

Ahsoka yawns as she drinks some coffee. "What's going on?"

"Master Plo has arrived." Blitz says the airlock opens and Plo enters.

Plo hums as he looks to Ahsoka drinking away. "Long night studying and training?"

"Yeah, did you know, that in the last hyperspace war, jedi master Timmns and the second Emperor's wrath had an unofficial alliance and were friends?" Ahsoka asks.

Plo shakes his head. "Did not know that. Good to know. What happened to them?"

"Records are vague. I am still researching, but I have yet to find an answer, but master there is a reason I asked you out here alone in secret." Ahsoka says.

Plo hums. "I would think it is either top secret with vital information or something that would send everyone into a panic."

"Yes…Blitz has told me he keeps sensing something, but he cannot understand it." Ahsoka admits.

Plo nods. "And you want me to help understand it?"

"I remember you trying to teach me a technique years ago that allows one to be able to share the ability to sense with another. I was hoping you could use the technique and help us get a better understanding." Ahsoka says.

Plo hums. "I'll see what I can do. Where is he?" Noticing him absent.

"Meditating in preparation…" Ahsoka says stopping.

"Is there something wrong?" Plo asks.

"Master Blitz has told me that he has a feeling the galaxy will dramatically change in the next ten years or so. That troubles me a bit." Ahsoka says.

"A lot can hang in even a few seconds or a moment." Plo said.

"I know, but the way the war is going it might mean something bad is happening." Ahsoka says.

Plo sighs. "Well…there have some reports of good and bad force users being able to tell even something at the end of their life. This might be shocking if I am able to connect well."

"I won't keep you any longer master." Ahsoka says letting him enter the room.

Blitz cracks an eye open from his meditating position as he laid down on the ground as a pony. "Ah, good. Shall we begin?" He asks getting comfortable.

"One moment, it takes a few seconds to start the technique." Plo says sitting in front of him.

Blitz hums as he closes his eyes again and makes sure to open up his connection to the force.

"Ok, now try and sense." Plo says managing to connect. Blitz breathes in deeply and starts and he and Plo start feeling a dark presence in the galaxy.

"This is the feeling I have been getting. Though it is getting a bit stronger at this point." Blitz said focusing on the feeling.

"T…that's the dark side." Plo says. 'How could the council be blind to this?' Plo thinks.

Blitz hums. "The feeling of things whizzing about me is also coming to mind. Can't make it out."

"Can you pinpoint the source of this dark side energy? Focus on feeling the source." Plo says.

"I…I see Coruscant." Blitz says after a long pause.

Plo groans. "Great. Now what else can you decipher from this?"

"Nothing, it is like something is blocking me. I only saw Coruscant for a moment." Blitz says.

Plo nods and cuts the link. "I think we should give this a break. We can figure out more later."

"I see. I will go then. I have put this off long enough." Blitz says transforming into his humanoid form.

Plo seems to have an eyebrow raised. "Every time I see that, still surprises me."

"Ahsoka, looks like you will have company while I head down onto the planet." Blitz says going to the cockpit.

Ahsoka hums as she still tries to drink. "Okay, have fun."

Blitz gets up once they were a safe distance to jump from and programs the computer to take the ship back into space. Blitz then walked to the ramp and jumps out towards the surface without his armor.

Plo tries to follow his movements. "He will be all right, right?"

"I think so. The force called him here." Ahsoka says.

Plo points out the window. "I meant him jumping out."

"Me and Master Skywalker do it all the time. The trick is to use force push to slow your descent." Ahsoka says.

Plo hums. "Does he know that?"

"Oh yeah, I taught him how." Ahsoka says.

Plo kept an eyebrow raised at her as the ship moves away from the area.


Blitz observes the land from a tree. He breathed in deep and kept sharp, knowing the creatures of this world were force sensitive and many were predators.

Blitz groans as he tries to keep above ground. "Isn't there a planet where it's almost happy go lucky instead of kill la kill…oh wait." He said to himself as he realized that his planet was one.

"Now…hello little guy." Blitz says spying a furry lizard like creature next to him on the tree. The creature croaks slowly as it slowly turns its head at him. Blitz hums as he holds his arm out near the branch it was resting on and it slowly moves over to his arm and rests on it before croaking again.

"I think the foals will like you." Blitz says before setting him into a pocket to where he was comfortable and sticking his head out.

The creature croaks again as it looks around its new spot before sticking its head into his pocket and comes back out with a bar of chocolate and starts chewing on the wrapped up bar.

"You eat up little guy." Blitz says before starting to meditate to try and figure out where to go.

The creature croaks as it claws at the wrapper and tears it apart as it starts chewing away and looks to him while eating.

Blitz kept trying to sense where he was supposed to go when he felt something incredibly faint, but there. A dark side presence.

The creature croaks curiously as it looks to him and stops eating for a bit.

"That it?" Blitz asks himself.

The creature coos as it drops the candy and slides out of his pocket and onto his shoulder.

Blitz starts hopping from tree to tree going in that direction.

The creature shrieks as it struggles to stay on before it crawls back into his pocket and starts eating again.

For the next few days, Blitz walked in that direction, searching for the presence that had concealed itself.

"Where are you?" He asks himself as the creature was on his head and eating his tenth and last candy bar.

"Having a good time little guy?" Blitz asks.

The creature croaks and looks to him mid bite.

Blitz scratches his head with a finger.

The creature coos and purrs slightly.

"Oh goody, a dark dank cave. I am sure nothing evil is in there." Blitz says sarcastically as he senses the dark side from it.

The creature croaks before grabbing the candy bar in its mouth and crawls out and climbs onto a branch before eating there.

"Not coming?" Blitz asks.

The creatures look to him and croaks before chewing into the bar again.

Blitz sighs before entering. "Oh goody, it's even more dank than I first thought." Blitz says hearing the water drops in the dark.

Blitz kept walking for a while before stopping. "Hold on…I have passed this root before." Blitz says looking at the root.

"And I haven't made a tur…oh well played, but too passive." Blitz call before sending force lightning everywhere he could manage. Soon the air shimmered and an illusion was undone, revealing a new path paved with carved stone. "I see, so this is a tomb." Blitz says.

"Well, also a lab, but who's bragging?" A voice said.

"And you are?" Blitz asks letting his sith training shine through via his eyes.

A tall, thin, and armored ring came out of the darkness into whatever light there was for him to see such a plain clothed individual. "Ah good. A Sith. That makes things ten times easier. Well…ten and fourteen hundredths times better. Nice to finally meet a fellow Sith." He said inclining his head.

"Your name now!" Blitz orders the way Imperius taught him to when addressing potentially hostile sith.

The bring chuckles a bit darkly. "You want to know? Well my name is Terrak Morrhage. Pleasure to meet you."

"I know you. You are the sith who tried to infect the jedi order twice with a plague that allowed you to syphon those you infected with force power. You were last seen over three millennia ago when you were defeated by the jedi who would become the Barsen'thor of the jedi in the second great hyperspace war." Blitz says.

Terrak hums. "Not bad of an history lesson. Still need work on details. So I guess you would be willing to find out what I am doing?"

"You were last seen declaring you would take vengeance on the Barsen'thor, but all your words were empty threats." Blitz says.

Terrak chuckles. "Yes, but I'm here now. Why would I be here now?"

"The answer is simple, the only thing that drives you is revenge and hatred for the jedi. You are preparing to make a third attempt." Blitz says glaring.

Terrak darkly chuckles. "I must commend you. Great. Now can you figure out how?" He asks walking away into the dark again.

"And that is a problem." Blitz says.

"Then you are an idiot." He said finally in the darkness.

"No, you should know that we sith don't like it when others interfere in our business." Blitz says igniting his lightsaber.

"Try and find me." Terrak said in the darkness and in the distance.

"I also know you can't execute your plan without a host you parasite." Blitz says.

"Who you calling parasite? I just merely make them. Why do I get called that?" Terrak's voice ponders to himself as if he didn't hear the first half.

"Because you can't do anything without a host and from feeding off other's strength. A parasite is all you can be called." Blitz says.

"Yes. That is true. Though the host thing? I have to simply find a better way to get it into others. And even then I need a synthesized form to work." Terrak said as Blitz tries to find him in the dark.

"You're talkative for a dead man." Blitz says.

"No, just being an exposition expert." He replied.

"No, you're trying to lead me into a trap." Blitz says stopping.

"Unless you are stepping on one." He told.

"Oh?" Blitz asks before stabbing the ground and something roared in pain.

Terrak pokes his head out of the darkness. "Oh, that wasn't it."

"Oh your attempt to bluff is amusing." Blitz says.

Terrak chuckles. "No, I mean that trap." He said pointing to something right beside Blitz.

Blitz eyes went wide and he let loose a strong force push, sending something skidding.

The thing growled and slowly stomped out with a scraping of its claws as it devilish looks at Blitz and salivates at the sight. "Have fun." Terrak said before going into the darkness again.

"Great, a Terentatek." Blitz says taking a stance.

The Terentatek growls lowly before roaring at Blitz and then charges at him, indenting to smash Blitz into a wall. Blitz, seeing this, runs towards the wall behind him and jumps off it and lands behind the Terentatek as it hits the wall. The Terentatek roars and quickly spins around and tries to swipe at him with its claws.

Blitz jumps back to get distance and tries to stay just outside the creature of the dark side's reach.

The creature growls and charges him again as it claws the walls and tries to get close to him.

Blitz on the other hand was keeping his distance and trying to keep rock or part of the cave in between them, trying to tire the monster out, knowing in a straight up fight as he was now, he wouldn't win. He knew his only chance at winning was to wear the thing down before committing himself.

The creatures growls heavily as it turns towards and then roars out loud, trying the intimidation tactic.

Blitz, seeing this, decided to retaliate and gathered the force to himself before releasing a force scream, hitting the beast with dark side energy.

The creature stops and growls questionably.

Blitz, seeing this, does a saber throw technique. His lightsaber slicing the top of the beast's left leg as it passed by it before returning to him.

The creature roars as the strike barely leaves a scorch mark. The creature rush Blitz again and Blitz barely jumps over it in time to avoid it.

"Ok, let's see, ah, there." Blitz says spying an old wound in its back.

The creature growls as it bends down to prepare to charge and seems to give a glare.

"Is this all you can muster Terrak, a half dead beast that can't even fight properly." Blitz mocks.

The creature growls loudly as it outlining scars and blood seem to light up before charging straight at him.

Blitz, seeing this, starts shooting force lightning right into the wound, making it roar in pain. "And I thought you were a threat." Blitz mocks.

The creature roars louder in his direction and grabs a loose rock before throwing it.

"After all, what can a failure like you accomplish." Blitz mocks before a cry of anger was heard and Terrak appeared again.

"You think I am a failure, a weakling, I will show you!" Terrak roared before flying at then into the Terentatek. The Terentatek roared in pain and slammed around the cave before saying. "Now let us see who is powerless."

Blitz frowns. "You are making your own demise!"

"Oh really?" Terrak roared.

"Yeah, because I made a friend here." Blitz says when the Ysalamiri from earlier showed itself.

Terrak growls at it as it squeaks and seems to pass something over them before nothing else happened. "You are a fool." Terrak growls.

"Oh no. How can you survive without the force?" Blitz asks reading his lightsaber.

Terrak just shows his claws. "With these." He said sharpening them against each other.

"But what about without that body?" Blitz asks before charging and jumps over the claw swipes before ramming the lightsaber into the wound and starts moving it around inside the beast. Terrak roars and tries to grab him and rip him to shreds, but his arms were too short and bulky to reach before the body starts slowing down fast and Terrak could feel it's life fading.

Terrak huffs. "You are not bad, but there are more to come."

"No, this is the end. Try and leave that body now." Blitz dares.

Terrak growls with the creature, but soon it grew into confusion. "What?!"

"We are in a force nullified bubble, a place where a force ghost can't exist. When it dies you will be ejected into this space." Blitz says.

"No!" Terrak yelled.

"That is right. Your time is over and now I end your threat forever." Blitz says before starting to stab the beast until it no longer moves.

Blitz sighs as he jumps off of it and the Ysalamiri drops the bubble.

"Thanks my friend." Blitz says laying out a hand for it.

The Ysalamiri croaks at him as it landed.

"I will take you away from the predators if you wish." Blitz offers turning back to his pony form.

The Ysalamiri croaks again and jumps onto his head.

Blitz smiles, leaving the corpse behind and starts looking around and stops when he hears a whistle. Blitz to where it is coming from and follows it to find a black crystal. "So this is your way of rewarding me huh. Very well, I thank you." Blitz says before using the force to take the crystal. "Time to go little guy." Blitz says.

The Ysalamiri croaks as it lays down on his head.


"Thanks for picking me up." Blitz says as they leave the planet's atmosphere.

Ahsoka shrugs. "Anything for a friend. Besides, this ship, not our style."

"Yeah, thanks master Plo for keeping Ahsoka company." Blitz thanks.

Plo waves him off. "Still like family."

"I'm sorry the council is calling you back master. I had hoped you could see Blitz's hope world." Ahsoka says.

Plo shrugs. "Maybe one day. Just not now."

"Farewell master." Ahsoka says as Plo leaves to get into his ship.

Blitz sighs as he programs the Darkstar to return home and goes to sit by Ahsoka. "So…what do you want to do?"

"Tell me what happened beside your little friend here." Ahsoka says.

Blitz smiles and shows the crystal. "Yes, it's a black one. Kinda make sense since I am a mystery at times. I could go one way or the other and still I would be fighting for both."

"And what also happened down there?" Ahsoka asks.

"Well it started with…" Blitz starts as they enter hyperspace.


Twilight yawns as she paces around, having just woken up and waiting for the coffee machine to finish.

"Mommy, when's daddy coming home?" Arcane asks.

"Soon sweetie." Twilight says ruffling his mane to his amusement and soon the communicator starts ringing.

Arcane gasps. "Daddy?"

"Let's see…" Twilight says checking and smiles and nods to her son.

Arcane cheers and jumps onto the counter and tries to peek into her view.

"Hey honey." Twilight says.

"Hey love, guess who is on their way home?" Blitz says.

Twilight sighs in relief as she tries to keep her eyes open before Arcane moves into view. "She's been helping out mommy Vinyl. I have a new brother!" He cheered.

"Oh?" Blitz asks smiling.

Twilight snorts awake. "Wha…what? Oh right, Vinyl. Yeah, she gave birth to a little unicorn colt with a white coat and black mane." Twilight says.

"She have a name yet?" Blitz asks.

Twilight yawns. "His name is Juko Light. Cute huh?"

"Oh that is adorable. So how is everyone there?" Blitz asks.

Twilight shrugs. "Same old, same old." She yawns. "Arcane, take over." She said yawning. "Coffee." She said letting Arcane have it and heads toward the coffee maker.

Arcane smiles and leans in again. "Everything is normal really. Nothing bad has happen too."

"I see and how are you Arcane? Does father have to come and tickle you?" Blitz jokes.

Arcane blushes. "Dad!" He said embarrassed. "Don't do that."

"That's my job and his mother." Terra said appearing behind him.

"Turn the camera and let me see her." Blitz says smirking.

Arcane smiles and turns the communicator to Twilight as she sleepily tries to make coffee.

"Oh that is cute." Blitz says smirking.

Terra giggles. "Look at her. This is what being queen, princess, diplomat, and mother will do to you."

"Or a mother." Blitz reminds Terra.

Terra sighs. "I think it's time to visit mother's famous last spot. I think you know which."

"Yeah, I will come along as well." Blitz says.

Terra smiles and holds Arcane. "So…how much longer till you get here?"

"We will be exiting hyperspace soon. After that, it will be a short flight to the castle so you, yes, you Terra, round up the girls for me. Your father in law insists." Blitz says jokingly.

Terra rolls her eyes and winks. "Sure. Bye honey and watch over mommy." She said the last part to Arcane before flying off.

"Oh Arcane, I got a few surprises for you and the others when I get home." Blitz says.

"Tell me, tell me, tell me." Arcane kept repeating.

"Nuh uh, you have to wait for it like the rest of your siblings, speaking of which, Pinkie, Sunshine." Blitz greets.

They both appear on top of the screen. "Yes?" They both ask.

"Preparing breakfast for everyone you two silly fillies?" Blitz asks.

Pinkie hums. "Well…Twilight is tired as heavy and we need to make food for everypony now."

"I'm coming home in a few hours so prepare some for me." Blitz says.

Pinkie salutes and goes back as Sunshine stays. "Hi dad." She said waving.

"Hey Shine, you getting along with your big brother?" Blitz asks.

Sunshine giggles and hugs Arcane's head. "Yeppers."

"And what about your other siblings and mothers?" Blitz asks.

Sunshine nods happily. "Yep. So happy."

"I see. Look out, Arcane is about to tickle you." Blitz jokingly warns.

Arcane cheers as he grabs Sunshine and starts tickling her.

"Oh, that is so cute." Twilight says drinking coffee.

Blitz smiles. "I see you're wide awake now."

"Not entirely." Twilight says as a changeling brought in Aether.

Aether coos as the sight of Arcane and Sunshine playing around and clasps her hooves.

"Oh hey there Aether. You just wake up?" Twilight asks.

Aether laughs and holds out her hooves.

"Oh ok, mommy got you." Twilight says taking her.

Aether smiles and nuzzles her as she hugs her.

"I'll be home soon. You behave yourselves, ok?" Blitz asks.

They all laugh as they play with each other as the changeling shrugs to him.

Blitz nods before cutting the connection.


"Oh this is precious." Blitz says quietly as he walks into Vinyl's room where she was sleeping with a bundle.

E. Vinyl sighs. "Yeah, she hasn't left the little guy's side." She whispered.

"Oh and what about you miss expecting?" Blitz jokes.

E. Vinyl smiles and leans onto him. "Doing fine. Ready for a birth?"

"Oh, are you now?" Blitz asks before kissing her cheek before he sneaks closer to Vinyl.

E. Vinyl shakes her head. "No, but I'll be waiting in the infirmary until I do."

"Hey V." Blitz says quietly touching her.

Vinyl's ear twitches before opening her eyes and looking around and lands on Blitz. "Blitzy. You made it back." She said tiredly.

"Yeah." Blitz says before kissing her nose.

Vinyl sighs and holds out her hoof for him to grab. "I missed you."

"I missed you as well. So how is our little Ice and Juko?" Blitz asks.

Vinyl sighs and lifts her other hoof to let him see both Ice and Juko sleeping beside each other.

"Oh, look who is a great mother." Blitz says.

Vinyl sighs and tries to rest again. "Now…let me…"

Blitz kisses her cheek and brings the covers around them. Blitz smiles and walks out now and sees E. Vinyl walking away. "Make sure you drink plenty of fluids." He calls after closing the door.

"Will do and look forward to you in bed again." E. Vinyl says before turning on her headphones.

Blitz sighs as he walks around the castle. "Nice to see this place again."

"Nice to see you too." Rainbow says landing on his back.

Blitz chuckles and looks to her. "You miss me?"

"Oh yeah and we are coming at you one at a time to not overwhelm you." Rainbow says.

Blitz smirks and gets her off his back and places her on the ground before kissing her cheek. "It's good to see you girls."

"You know it." Rainbow says shaking her flank at him as she walked away.

Blitz grins as he keeps watching. "Oh yeah, still a sexy flank." He said walking down the hall again. "Next."

"That is me." Spitfire says walking around a corner.

Blitz sighs. "Where's our little boy?"

"Da?" A little voice asks.

Blitz smiles and looks over her shoulder to see Sunrise on her back. "Hey there little Sunrise. You've been good for mommy?"

"Ye." Sunrise says.

Spitfire chuckles. "Still a momma's boy."

"Why wouldn't he be?" Blitz asks.

Spitfire smiles and nuzzles him. "I have to go. Don't worry, you'll see us all in one place again." She said giving him a kiss on the cheek before walking away.

"I will see you soon my son." Blitz says before nuzzling Sunrise.

Sunrise giggles and nuzzles back. "Ba ba."

Spitfire smiles as she walks away with Sunrise.

"Ok, who is next?" Blitz asks.


"Dad, it's time." He hears.

"Oh?" Blitz asks following the voice.

Terra smiles as she waits right by a bag and resting on a couch. "Hi dad." She said as he came into the room.

"Ok, I met with everyone else already. You told Twi you need me for a bit right?" Blitz asks.

Terra nods and floats over to him. "Yeah, she understands."

"I have got to tell her one of these days about Hurricane." Blitz says.

Terra smiles softly and hugs him. "She was so amazing."

"Yeah." Blitz says before Terra teleports them away.

Terra sniffs as they appear in front of a boulder on a mountainside. "She always came here, hoping to see you again."

Blitz, hearing this, just takes a seat.

Terra keeps sniffing as she starts to cry. "She always took me and soon my husband here, to let us know who our father was. I never get why she kept visiting a cave camp…until I met you. Then I realized why. You were exactly as she described. Strong, faithful, family stallion, always there to protect. She wanted us to know that you were the greatest thing to happen to her." She said now fully crying as she sat down herself. "Mommy."

Blitz just let silent tears of his own fall to the ground as he mourned.

Terra cries as she falls flat to the ground crying. "Mommy."

Blitz puts a hoof on her shoulder and waits till she was ready as he cried his own tears.

"You two." They hear. "Always trying to cry your own way."

They both quickly look up and see somepony they never though they would see. "Mom…mom…" Terra tries to say as she kept crying.

Hurricane smiles and puts her hooves on both their shoulders. "You're both good ponies and I love you both very much."

"Hurricane." Blitz asks.

Hurricane keeps smiling as she turns to him. "Time traveler. Ghost spirit my flank."

"Was the best I could come up with." Blitz jokes as he still lets the tears fall.

Hurricane chuckles as she turns to Terra who has her mouth covered by her hooves at the sight of her. "You've grown. Became the pony you were always meant to be."

Blitz reaches out to hold her.

Hurricane shakes her head as she steps back. "No, I'm not like her. I'm just a simple pegasus who won a coin toss."

"No, you're not. You are Hurricane, a pony I love and the mother of my son." Blitz says his eyes tearing up again.

Hurricane smiles. "Yeah and apparently grandmother to some high ranking princesses." She said smirking slightly.

"Hurricane." Blitz says starting to break down.

Hurricane smiles truthfully as she turns to him now. "I love you Blitzkrieg and I'll never forget it. You have changed my life, set me right on my ways, and made our land soar. And I couldn't have done it without you. You are the greatest thing to happen to me and when I had our son come into the family…I knew I had to tell him too."

"No, I am not. I left you when I should have stayed." Blitz says unable to even look at her.

Hurricane chuckles. "How could you? You were forced back. I know the hooves of time and space won't allow to stay, but I always remember the times we had. In that short time, I had come to remember you fondly."

"I don't deserve kind words. I lied, manipulated, and used you." Blitz says.

Hurricane smirks. "Used or allowed?"

"It was using. I took advantage of you." Blitz continue to belittle himself.

Terra sniffs. "Daddy?" She asks softly.

"I don't even deserve to get to see you again." Blitz says.

Hurricane lifts his head up and makes him turn to her. "Does this feel wrong?" She asks before slowly wrapping her hooves around him and he feels her slightly go through him. A ghost. "I can feel your pain. Leaving me wounded you greatly and you hide your pain so others won't be affected."

Terra sniffs as she tries to regain control of herself. "Mommy, daddy?"

"I can't forgive myself. Not for everything I have done or will knowingly do. I am a disgrace to our kind. I can only kill. Anything I do, I leave bodies in my wake." Blitz says.

Hurricane smiles and makes his head turn to Terra. "You made her a husband. With me."

"And still I know not all survived in the lands and I also killed those windigos and the worst part is, I can't come to regret those whose lives I took." Blitz says.

Hurricane sighs. "Death happens. It will happen anyway. We have no choice at times. Those windigos, they were born out of hatred and melted out of kindness and friendship. But the lives at your hooves…" She gains a serious tone at the end as he clenches himself for any blow. "I know not what they did, nor what they would have done. I just know that you stopped them. If you did it, you have a good reason."

"How can you be so sure?" Blitz asks.

Hurricane smiles. "I don't. I just know that with your heart, you have been through a lot and know what has to be done. You actually turn us against each other at the meeting, but not to cause mischief, but to end it and get on ahead because of the coming storm. Our nights, I never regret them one single bit. Your time with me, it showed me you have the greatest heart I have ever met in my life. And I'm proud to call you my husband."

Blitz couldn't say anything as he just broke down.

Hurricane smiles gently and pats his back, even though she kept going through him. "I miss you Blitzkrieg and I don't regret any second of it for you have not only changed your life or mine, but everyone and whether it must be for the good or bad, you always have that special place in your heart to make it good for everyone."

"You always were an angel to me." Blitz says.

Terra sniffs as she tries to hold back her unstoppable tears. "Mommy. I'm sorry." She cries as she didn't look at her.

Hurricane shakes her head. "You don't need to be sorry. My son is not your fault. It's nopony. He's like his father, making sure everything is alright with the world and beyond." She said looking at the crying Blitz.

Terra sniffs. "That still doesn't excuse it. I'm a poor daughter to you."

Hurricane smiles gently and opens her other leg to her. "Come here."

Terra sniffs as she drags herself over to Blitz's crying form and leans against him as Hurricane tries and hugs them both. "You will always be in my heart. And I'll always love you. Never forget that."

Blitz sniffs and tries to look at her. "And we won't forget you."

Hurricane smiles and looks behind her before looking back at them. "I have to go now. But I'll always be here. No matter what, right here." She said pointing to their hearts. "And here." She said then pointing to their heads. "Bye now." She said taking a few steps back.

Blitz sniffs as he tries to hold back the last of his tears. "Hurricane?"

Hurricane smiles as she looks to him. "Yes?"

Blitz sniffs as he tries to smile. "If he's there, say hello for me and for her." He said wrapping a hoof around Terra's.

Hurricane chuckles. "He never was." She said before she started to disappear.

Terra finally lets the last of tears fall as she disappeared.

"Mommy!"


Blitz just stared at the ceiling as he petted Terra's mane as she kept sniffing every now and then for the past few hours. "We have to tell."

"I can't father." Terra says.

"I understand. I will go talk to Twilight first. Will you be ok?" Blitz asks.

Terra sniffs as she wipes her tear stained face with her hooves. "Yeah."

"I will come to check up on you soon." Blitz says getting up.

Terra chokes back a sob. "I still miss her."

"I do as well." Blitz says before leaving.


"Twi, please sit down. I have something to tell you." Blitz says after leading Twilight to a room to talk alone.

Twilight sits down nearby. "What is it?"

"Twi, something happened when I was sent to the past I never told you about." Blitz says.

Twilight was confused. "What is it?"

"You remember me asking you to get some books on that time?" Blitz asks.

Twilight nods. "What's this about Blitz?"

"Well…I may have…" Blitz clears his throat. "You know how Celestia and Luna keep jokingly refer to us as grandparents after the whole baby incident?" Blitz asks.

Twilight chuckles. "Yeah, the foals really like it, thinking they are like mothers themselves."

"Well there is another reason they call us that." Blitz says getting nervous.

Twilight goes a little wide eyed. "Oh my Celestia, what did you do?"

"I may have had intercourse with one of the founding mares." Blitz says backing up.

Twilight stares at him. "What?"

"I may have gotten Hurricane pregnant." Blitz says against the wall.

Twilight's horn lights up and he braces himself before feeling nothing and sees Twilight looking through a history book. "Well now the mysterious knight makes sense now."

"What? You are not mad?" Blitz asks still bracing.

Twilight slams the book closed. "Oh I am. And now I'm going to give you the same punishment as you did."

"Also Twi, Terra needs some emotional support. We saw Hurricane's ghost." Blitz says looking sad again.

Twilight sighs and puts the book away. "Go to the foals. I'll deal with Terra."

"Twi." Blitz says as Twilight picked up on his sadness.

Twilight sighs. "I'm not mad. Just upset you didn't tell us at all. Nopony neither. I can't let that past."

"Well the main reason I didn't say anything was because I'm not sure how it affected the space time continuum." Blitz says before they started talking about that and Twilight theorized.

"So I understand a little better. You feared that just by talking about it, it would cause a distortion in reality?" Twilight asks.

"Basically yes." Blitz says.

Twilight adopts a thinking pose. "Hum, well I can't fault your logic or caution as we know next to nothing on that sort of thing." Twilight says.

"So?" Blitz asks as it started reaching a point where he could barely keep up in the conversation with his wife.

Twilight sighs. "You're still punished."

"Oh, and what if I do this?" Blitz asks before raspberrying her neck making her laugh.

Twilight laughs before pushing him away hard. "Blitz…ha ha…you basically kept this from us. When those two could have been true family." She said rubbing her neck.

"Celestia is still trying to forgive herself for almost banishing her baby uncle." Blitz says starting to tickle her.

Twilight keeps trying to push him away. "Cut that out. I'm still mad."

"No you're not. You are just trying to teach me a lesson and I have you." Blitz says kissing her.

Twilight groans into the kiss before sighing internally and just kisses him back. 'Idiot.'

"So who is a loving mare?" Blitz asks letting go of the kiss.

Twilight raises an eyebrow. "Who's a good stallion?"

"That would be our colt Arcane." Blitz says making her smile.

Twilight sighs. "Call them up. Get them here. I think it's time for a family outing."

"You were looking for an excuse weren't you?" Blitz asks.

Twilight hits his head. "I always wanted them to be like family and that's your punishment."

"Oh I'm hearing. Let's go for a third." Blitz whispers into her ear.

Twilight frowns. "No."

"You say that, but your body says yes." Blitz jokes nuzzling her.

Twilight keeps frowning. "Stop it."

"Oh so what did you think about the gifts I brought this time and the kids new pet?" Blitz asks.

Twilight pokes his chest. "That thing won't hurt them, right?"

"No, in fact it has a defense against all force abilities." Blitz says bringing up an article for her. "Now, Twi tonight, who is going to share a bed with me?" Blitz asks before nibbling her ear.

Twilight moans as she frowns. "Would you stop?"

"Not until you are satisfied and happy." Blitz says before starting to kiss her again.

Twilight groans as she kept trying to hold him back and he backs off a little. "I am until you get them here."

"Ok." Blitz says before paging them all. "Now I have to keep us entertained while we wait." Blitz says before starting to make out with her again.

Twilight rolls her eyes as he kisses her.


"Whoa Twi, you really needed him that much?" Rainbow teases Twilight.

Twilight has a goofy smile on her face as she laid down in a couch. "What?" She asks lost.

"So you going to me in his bed tonight?" Rainbow asks.

Twilight blinks confused. "Huh?" She asks waving her hooves in the air.

"Vinyl, can you get her to focus?" Rainbow asks.

"Aw, why should I? I like this Twilight. All in aftershock from the best rock in her life." Vinyl protested as she plays around with Twilight's hooves as she tries to grab Vinyl.

"Oh, what about Ice and Juko?" Spitfire asks.

Vinyl smirks as they hear something and look behind them to see Ice carrying a milk carton and Juko crawling behind her.

"I'm starting to think Twi will give birth to twice as many foals as the rest of us." Applejack says.

Rainbow shrugs. "Well she was first…beside you."

"Actually, the first one with foal is Octy there." E. Vinyl says.

Rainbow shakes her head. "No, I mean first choice."

Twilight giggles and cheers in her world. "Very big." She said lost as she keeps waving her hooves in the air.

"I think she is drunk." Daring says rocking her baby.

Twilight swoons. "Oh my. Again?" She asks almost turning to Rainbow.

"Twi, focus, you need to nurse your daughter." Rainbow says.

Twilight blinks. "What?" Rainbow sighs before hitting her on the head. "Ow! What the heck Rainbow?!" Twilight yells as she holds her head.

"Finally focused huh?" Applejack asks.

Twilight just used her magic tip off Applejack's hat. "I was enjoying that."

"Well it's time to nurse your daughter." Fluttershy says.

Twilight sighs. "Where is she?"

Fluttershy hums as she messes with her collar. "In the playroom with all the foals."

"Oh Aether, where are you?" Twilight calls playfully.

"Ma." Aether's head appears from the doorway on the other side of the hall.

"Come here my little girl. Come to mama." Twilight says outstretching her hooves.

Aether laughs and crawls on to her.

Twilight smiles and picks her up before carrying her to the couch and wraps her wing over her to conceal the feeding.

"So how's the princesses doing?" Rainbow asks seeing the two playing with the foals in the playroom.

"You all don't seem to surprised or even that angry when I told you." Twilight points out.

Rainbow shrugs. "They're family. I'm loyalty."

"Not even a little miffed about him not telling us?" Twilight asks.

They all shrug.

"If I say yes, will I get what you got?" Rainbow jokes.

Twilight glares slightly to her.

"Oh, sign me up for that." Vinyl jokes.

Twilight sighs and rolls her eyes.

Most of the mares there laughed hearing that.


Terra sniffs as she still laid on the couch. "Mommy."

"Mrs. Terra?" She hears Arcane call and come in.

"Huh? Oh little Arcane." Terra says wiping her face again for the hundredth time.

Arcane looks concerned as he sees the state of her. "Are you okay?" He asks walking up to her.

Terra sniffs and shakes her head. "I'm fine dear. What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be with your brothers and sisters?"

"I came to see my sister-in-law." Arcane says.

Terra sighs. "Well…you saw her. You better run off and deal with your own business." She said trying to lay down again and find a better position.

Arcane walks over and hugs her.

Terra tries to smile. "What are you doing?"

Arcane smiles. "Cheering you up."

Terra sniffs and hugs him back. "Oh Arcane. So noble, like your father."

"Yeah, now come on. The rest of my siblings are waiting for you." Arcane says.

Terra sniffs and nuzzles him. "Such a good boy. Let's go." She said letting go of him and getting up.


Blitz snores as he rested on the couch and the foals hung around him as they try and mess with him. "Come on, put this on." Azure said giving Sunshine the headphones.

"And what are you up to?" Blitz asks opening an eye.

Sunshine eeps and yells out as she fell off and landed in Azure's hooves. "You were awake?"

"Yeah, just letting you all play." Blitz says ruffling Sunshine's mane.

Sunshine fixes her name as he walks out. "Wow, no matter what, daddy's always happy with us."

"Alright everyone, to go see your mothers, ok?" Blitz asks.

"Da. Okay." He hears from mostly all of them and heads out.

"Geez. These guys can wear you out. We need a bigger playroom." Blitz said to himself.

"Or more." Twilight says walking up to him.

Blitz chuckles and looks to her. "Hey, heard you went to go do a presentation. My time with you helped out?"

"Oh, yes." Twilight says walking over to kiss his nose.

"Hey, can we get that too?" Night Glider asks walking up to them with DD.

Blitz chuckles and grabs them both before giving a kiss on their noses. "Happy?"

"Nope." DD says before capturing his lips.

Twilight rolls her eyes. "How long are you staying anyway?"

"Only until mine. I heard you are trying for your third." Night jokes.

Twilight sighs. "Why does that become common knowledge?" She grumbled to herself.

"Because you get very needy when you aim for another foal." DD says when Blitz moved onto Night and rubs her pregnant stomach.

Night sighs and nuzzles him. "He's so amazing."

"So how are you two pregnant mares doing?" Blitz asks petting DD's stomach now.

DD chuckles. "Pretty good. Just hungry most of the time."

"Oh ready to be a mother you two?" Blitz asks twisting one of DD's nipples with his magic.

DD eeps and glares to him. "Blitz."

"What snow bunny?" Blitz asks picking her up and holding her.

DD raises an eyebrow at him.

"I thought you loved the attention." Blitz whispers into her ears before nipping it playfully.

DD grumbles as Night snickers. "Yeah, she loves it so much, she asked me to do some things."

"And when she is healed up from giving birth, I will." Blitz whispers the rest into DD's ear.

DD blushes heavily. "Oh you tease."

"Does this prove I am serious?" Blitz asks twisting all of her nipples with his magic.

DD eeps loudly as Twilight sighs. "Geez, you sure want to touch us."

"I had to go half a year without doing that. And don't pretend all of you are missing my touch." Blitz says.

They all smile at that. "We don't." They said playfully.

"Oh?" Blitz asks before pulling all of their tails with his magic.

They all jumped at that. "Blitz."

"And I'm not done." Blitz says smirking, putting DD down before using his magic to hold them all in place and goes to each one and smacks their flanks.

They all yelp. "He's a bit kinky." Night said moaning. "Like it rough?"

"No, but I know I am turning all three of you on." Blitz says smirking.

"He is teasing us." Twilight says as DD drooled a bit.

Night smirks. "Want us to lift our tails too?"

"Twi maybe, but you two know I can't do you till after the little ones." Blitz says.

Night chuckles. "But do you want to see them?" She asks lifting her tail slightly.

"I already know what they look like." He said before sending a message to Night's omnitool.

Night hears her omnitool beep. "Um…you still got us stuck." She said pulling her leg and gets no leverage.

Blitz releases the spell and nuzzles both Night and DD before Night wraps a hoof around DD. "Come on DD, we have something to do, remember?"

DD shakes herself. "Yeah, whatever. Do you still that food we left behind?"

"What did you do?" Twilight asks.

"Do Soarin and DD still hate the plastic?" Blitz asks.

Twilight scratches her head. "Somewhat. Night is trying to have them get use to it."

"Then DD is going to hate what is coming." Blitz whispers to her.

Twilight sighs. "Oh Blitz. You know. I have been looking into the whole time travel thing." She said walking again.

"Please don't. It hurts my head every time I think about how technically you're the grandmother of Celestia and Luna when you are younger and they wouldn't exist if not for me and I would have never gone back in time if not for…ow…I have a headache now." Blitz says holding his head.

Twilight giggles and wraps a wing around him as she pulls him along. "Come on dear. Let's see about where do I can give a family grave for her."


"Ok Night, what are we doing here again?" DD asks trying to cool down from having Blitz rile her up in the shower.

Night smiles as she tries to find the box in the sink cupboard. "One sec."

"Did you have to hide the things here and not the kitchen we all use? I mean, I know this is a recent addition and it's nice and all, but it is quite a walk." DD says her back to Night.

Night smirks. "Because we were a late addition. They had no choice in the matter of building."

"Well I guess we are a big family now. We will need more rooms of rooms we have." DD says.

Night chuckles as she opens the box. "Yep." She said grabbing something.

"Also, was it necessary to lock the door so a foal can't come in and see where we keep the hard cider and stuff?" DD asks before she feels something be put around her neck and finds she cannot move.

Night smiles as she leans against her and hugs her. "So…you wanted more."

"Oh no." DD says knowing what Night was up to before Night starts attaching things to keep her hind legs spread apart and handcuffs her to a pole.

Night chuckles as she starts kissing her neck slightly. "I'm not Blitz, but I know what makes you tick." She whispered.

DD tried to free herself when Night put a gag in her mouth.

Night sighs as she massages her flanks. "Look at us, both pregnant and needy."

DD tries to look for a way out for anything.

Night kisses her cheek. "Just enjoy. I'm not going to hurt you so please, for the sake of us and Blitz, enjoy." She said moving her hips onto DD's.

DD goes wide eyed when she saw what Night had in her hooves.

"So which first, your flank or the second set of lips?" Night whispers into her ear.

DD gulps as she keeps trying to break free.

"Oh, my choice?" Night asks before shoving something into DD's flank.

DD screams into the gag as she makes the chains rattle around.

"Now for the other one." Night says slipping the second one into her more slowly.

DD groans as she tries to get away and move forward.

"And now, power on." Night whispers into her ear.

DD goes wide eyed and screams into the gag before freezing up and moaning.

"You like that, don't you DD? It's vibrating both at once." Night says.

DD moans loudly into the gag and slowly the rattle of chains stop.

"Good mare. How long till you lose yourself to the pleasure this time?" Night asks.

DD gulps as she thrashes her flank toward her. Night smiles and lays onto her. DD moans slightly and slowly looks to her pleadingly.

Night smiles and removes the gag before kissing her.

DD moans loudly into the kiss and tries to move her hooves around her.

"Nu uh, now it's time to raise the settings." Night says.

DD starts to moan weakly and lazily looks to her.

"Oh who is a good snow bunny?" Night asks.

DD snacks her lips. "Me." She moans.

"Good girl." Night says before kissing her.


Twilight smiles as she leads Blitz along. "You feel better?" She asks giving him a massage.

"Yes, dear." Blitz says leaning into her scratching his head.

Twilight smiles. "Good boy." She teased.

"Only for you." Blitz teases right back.

Twilight giggles and leans down to him. "Want to head out now or enjoy my hooves more?"

"We best walk around and see what's going on." Blitz says.

Twilight nods and let's go of him. "Want to see the map and where we went?"

"Sure, I hear you even met Rara." Blitz says.

Twilight laughs. "Applejack told you about her when you were younger huh?"

"Told? I was there." Blitz says.

Twilight smirks. "You went to summer camp?"

"Yeah, it was the last year before all of it went down. Also, has Ahsoka told you she has accepted her feelings and agreed to marry?" Blitz asks.

Twilight smiles as she takes out a list from nowhere and writes down Ahsoka's name. "There we go." She said rolling it up before poofing it away.

"Also, she is here as if you didn't already know that and Twi, help me keep this out of the foal's grasp." Blitz says showing his newly made lightsaber.

Twilight raises an eyebrow. "What the…why is it different?"

"I made a new one." Blitz says before putting it away.

Twilight frowns. "Blitz." She scolds as they enter the map room.

Blitz grins. "What…?" Blitz stops seeing someone in Fluttershy's chair. "Um…excuse me…that's Fluttershy's." He told Starlight Glimmer politely even though he was ready to tear her a new one.

"How did you even get in here?" Twilight asks almost angrily as they hear hissing from above them.

"Oh my god, tell me you are not using the headache inducing time travel bull to enact revenge. I have enough headaches with this without you doing this." Blitz says.

Starlight just stares at them a bit surprised before shrugging and taking out a scroll and throwing it into the air and shoots it with magic before it creates a gear circle and hits the map table with magic too as changelings tried to go after her, but a barrier of gears appears around the table and blocks them as she herself floats in the air with her magic and flies off into the portal made above the map and disappears as the portal closes and barrier falls.

Blitz, seeing this, but his hooves to his face and lets out a sigh of despair. "Twi, please summon my combat gear." Blitz managed.

Twilight facehooves as she lights up her horns and brings the case at his hooves. "I hate her."

"Don't hate it, only makes things worse." Blitz says getting dressed.

Twilight sighs before the scroll from before floated down and she catches it. "Hang on, this is way too old. And all this is…" She goes wide eyed. "Um…Blitz?"

"It reopened?" Blitz asks turning into a pegasus so he could fly.

Twilight shakes her head. "This is Starswirl's original time travel spell. Heavily modified."

"I figured it was time travel just from looking at the portal. It looked sort of like a clock from the outset." Blitz says.

Twilight frowns and lights up her horn. "Well we aren't doing much good here. We have to follow her. Stay here and protect the room." She calls the last sentence to the changelings as Blitz follows her to the table sighing all the way. "Okay…let's see…"

"It's going to be one of those days." Blitz says to the changelings who nod in understanding.

Twilight then smiles and fires a spell at the scroll before it flies up and does the same thing and they are both sucked into it.

"Seriously, one of those days." Blitz said crossing his hooves as they travel through a portal tunnel that had clock gears all around.

Twilight frowns. "But when would she go?"

"Just follow the trail she left behind she obviously wants us to follow or she wouldn't have waited till now and tossed the spell aside for us to use." Blitz says.

Twilight ends up staring at him.

"Can you think of a logical reason besides that one?" Blitz asks.

Twilight opens her mouth to speak, but stops short as they reach the end of the tunnel and fall through. "Crap!" She yells before hitting hard road as Blitz landed on top of her. "Blitz, I know you're happy and all to be back, but we already went one round."

Blitz lets out a sigh. "Twi, after all of this, I am going to need something hard to drink." Blitz says getting up.

Twilight groans as she gets up. "I'm sure the changelings have something." She said looking around and blinks at the sight of so many foals trying to fly.

"Oh look, Dashie." Blitz says as she flew by.

Twilight blinks at the sight. "Cloudsdale, Rainbow?"

"The story on cutie marks." Blitz says blatantly.

Twilight stares for a few moments before facehoofing. "Oh boy. Come on, let's get to the race." She said before flying off.

"Why not just use a tracking spell and she already flew away." Blitz says before sighing and flying after her.

Twilight goes wide eyed. "Blitz, we don't know what she…dang it." She said to herself as she lands beside the Blitz encased in crystal. "Really?"

"Really, this is what you are doing Starlight? A question, have you consider what effect this will have on the space time continuum and she is not listening and is on a rant. Perfect." Blitz says as his armor was encased, but he could still freely talk in his armor.

Twilight frowns before she sees her fire a spell that made the young Rainbow's wing lock up. "And we are done."

"She is screwing over the space time continuum...and most likely erasing our foals from existence." Blitz says now starting to feel hate great amounts of hate and anger.

Twilight places her on the crystal sadly before a portal opened above them and pulled them in. "That's the time frame. From the bullying to the Sonic Rainboom." She summarized as they travel through the tunnel.

"I'm going to kill her." Blitz says not hesitating after being freed.

Twilight places a hoof on him. "And she stopped you immediately and we don't have guns."

"I am going to use the force to choke her to death and while cutting out her heart and feeding it to her." Blitz says letting his anger rule him here.

Twilight keeps frowning as they hit the other end and travel through the tunnel and land on a plain with the table next to them.

"Ow. Add landing badly to that hate list." Twilight said slowly getting up.

Blitz looks left, then right. "Love where or when are we?" Blitz asks.

Twilight groans as she looks around as well. "I don't know. You ever seen something like this before?" She asks seeing an almost dead land.

"We are back in the time we left, correct?" Blitz asks.

Twilight looks behind her and sees the table in ruin. "Well this is here…but…" She looks around for any sign of the castle.

"Geographically, the same exact place we left, but with no buildings." Blitz says voicing what Twilight was thinking.

Twilight hums as she looks a bit into the distance and sees some rooftops. "Over there maybe." She said pointing and walking the direction.

"Twi, to get back, what will you think we will need?" Blitz asks turning into his unicorn form and removes his helmet.

Twilight shrugs. "I don't know. I need to think for a bit."

"Ok." Blitz says as they walk into town which was mostly boarded up.

Twilight looks back to him. "Are you getting a familiar vibe for some reason?"

"It's Ponyville, but not the one we know." Blitz says.

Twilight nods as she looks at a window and sees a mare who quickly closes her window. "Yeah, like it's…do you see smoke?" She asks seeing the smoke rising from Applejack's farm.

"Judging by it, I would say industry result and that doesn't look good." Blitz says.

Twilight nods. "Considering that Applejack hates the machines." She said walking towards it.

"Oh, I hate where this going." Blitz says as they come to the farm.

Twilight raises an eyebrow as she looks to the barn and looks through a window to see a whole assembly line of apples put into cans. "Doda doda, dodado, doda doda, dodado. Danna, danna." She hums to herself before seeing Blitz look at her weirdly. "What? It's factory music. I can't get it out of my head when we have an assembly line."

"You have been hanging around the factories too much." Blitz says.

Twilight shrugs. "Blame the Muzak." She said before heading to the entrance.

"Well I know she wouldn't wear that. You mind talking to here?" Blitz asks seeing Applejack in a strange military outfit.

Twilight nods as she walks up. "Applejack?" She calls.

"Yeah, can I help you?" Applejack asks not looking too pleased.

Twilight frowns a bit as she looks around. "What happened here?"

Applejack raises an eyebrow like she always did. "You came out of a vault or something?"

Blitz sits on the ground waiting, trying to calm himself.

"Blitzkrieg, you mind helping me?" Twilight asks.

Applejack goes a little wide eyed. "Bli…Blitz…no. You must be pulling my tail." She said with anger evident in her voice.

"Take a chill pill Jackie before you break out the rope." Blitz says.

Applejack blinks. "Oh my, it is you. But…you…"

"Yeah, long story. You mind helping me out. My son has been taken and I am trying to track down the bastards that dare foalnapped him and I chased him to this continent and I need an update on what is happening here because it's been so long." Blitz says.

Applejack slowly frowns. "Then it has to be King Sombra. Sorry, but he's most likely turned into his personal army or dead."

"What has happened Jackie?" Blitz asks with Applejack seeing he was having a hard time keeping calm.

Applejack sighs dreadfully. "When the crystal Empire retuned, King Sombra came back with it. And it didn't take long for every one of his subjects to fight for him for Equestria. And even with Princess Celestia, it still takes all of us, doing their part to fight for Equestria. We went from a peace loving country to war country."

"I see. Twi get your wings ready. We have some traveling some do." Blitz says as Applejack notices Twilight was an alicorn.

Twilight smiles a bit as she flares her wings. "You're going to end this war early, aren't you?"

"I'm going to kill anyone who gets in my way." Blitz says donning his helmet.

Twilight sighs. "Okay, let's do this." She said before taking off with him turning into a pegasus and following.

"Blitzy." Applejack says sadly.


"Ok, we now know history has been changed." Twilight says.

"What are we going to need to reactivate the spell?" Blitz asks.

Twilight frowns. "That scroll. It seems it is the center point of all this. Maybe providing the spark as it were."

"Yes, but will you need any items to do this?" Blitz asks.

"Maybe a Rachtium crystal. I have been using them for a lot of my spells lately." Twilight says and Blitz looked confused. "Oh, they are a recent discovery to us. We discovered them while you were fighting in the war."

"And where is the nearest deposit?" Blitz asks.

"Um…northern Equestria bordering the crystal kingdom from the original timeline." Twilight offers.

Blitz facehooves. "Okay, give me time. For now, let's see about this crystal empire right now and is that a camp?" He asks looking down and looks ahead to see a worn out field with holes and craters. He said as he stops flying and hovers there. "Again I have to see this, but in my home."

Twilight looks to him sadly as he slowly lands down near the edge with her following. "How many?"

"Thousands. Ill equipped on both sides, this is fighting with hooves, not weapons." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs. "Come on. Let's see if we can find the princesses in this." She said spreading her wings.

"Princess, only one." Blitz says looking up at the night sky to the moon.

Twilight stops and looks up. "Oh Luna."

"Without the elements, she must still be nightmare moon." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs. "Let's go. This isn't our world, but we can change something."

"Twi, you told me Sombra's magic can make you live your worst fear at the time, right?" Blitz asks.

Twilight nods. "Yeah, why?"

"If he uses it on me and my current state, I might use the power of the dark side and channel all my hate and anger in my power. You know what it can do, don't you?" Blitz asks.

"You could become the most powerful dark powered being in the world at this time." Twilight says.

"Yes and we both know the force has the potential to destroy entire planets." Blitz says.

Twilight frowns. "Want to see your granddaughter first?"

"She wouldn't understand, but you can meet her. I will stay outside." Blitz says.

Twilight nods and flies inside the camp as Blitz keeps watching the battlefield where fighting will resume tomorrow. Blitz didn't even look around when he heard somepony land. "Can I help you?"

Blitz sighs and looks behind him to see Rainbow with a short cut mane and a metal wing. "You kinda hated the future for flight on your wings. Wanted to go all natural." He mused.

"What was that?" Rainbow asks.

"Nothing." Blitz says turning back to the battlefield.

Rainbow frowns. "Hey, can we help you?"

"Unless you bring me Sombra's head, no." Blitz says.

Rainbow scoffs. "Nopony can get close to him."

"With your pathetic fighting, I can understand why." Blitz says.

Rainbow growls. "Pathetic? I'll show you pathetic!" She yells and launches herself at him.

Blitz, in a moment, turns into his pegasus form and flips over her before landing where he sat again.

Rainbow stops and stares at him. "What the…Sombra soldier."

"If I was, why didn't I attack you or not hiding to spy on you?" Blitz asks.

Rainbow frowns as she gets up. "What do you want?"

"King Sombra is in my way to finding my son." Blitz says.

Rainbow tilts her head. "Your son?"

"Yes, my son. He was either kidnapped him or is just in my way in my search to find my foal." Blitz says.

Rainbow huffs. "Right and I'm the freaking princess."

"Well pardon me your royal highness. Should I curtsy for you?" Blitz says sarcastically.

Rainbow growls. "You're a frigging idiot. You won't even make it onto the field."

"Who will stop me that will live?" Blitz asks seriously as he returns to being a unicorn.

Rainbow rolls her eyes and steps aside. "Go ahead, go out there and die."

"I can't. My companion wanted to meet with Celestia before we go forward. Also Sombra isn't here. The Sombra you have been chasing is an illusion created by him." Blitz says.

Rainbow stops and stares at him as Twilight returned with Celestia behind her. "You have come far Blitzkrieg. I commend that."

"Commend the fact Sombra is tricking you and have an illusion." Blitz said shaking himself as Twilight steps up to him.

"What do you mean?" Celestia asks.

"Do you really think that the overlord would so easily come to the front lines? That is too easy." Blitz says.

Celestia blinks as Twilight sighs and looks to Blitz. "Whatever you are going to do, do it now. We have to find those crystals."

"I am going to walk right through their frontline, but I know you want to help them Twi so I will wait until morning. Then you will see how you should fight a war." Blitz says.

Twilight raises an eyebrow to Celestia as she stared at them. "I'll prepare the plans." She said before walking off.

"Twi, stay back tomorrow. It is going to get messy." Blitz says.

Twilight rolls her eyes at him. "I said I'm going to prepare the plans. Didn't you hear me?"

"As long as you are not on the frontlines, then I am fine with that." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs and continues walking into camp.

Blitz doesn't move from his spot as Rainbow was in shock of not only the second alicorn, but that Blitz wasn't intimidated by Celestia.

"Seriously, get out of those jewels unless you have magical wards in them, they are useless. The suits would do more good here." Blitz comments. Rainbow was dumbfounded enough to snap out of it from that comment. "Good, you are back to reality, now you can leave." Blitz says.

Rainbow opens her mouth, but a wave from Celestia shut her up and she took off and left. "You are certainly not from here." She said looking back to Blitz.

"If I was, I would be as useless as the guards in a fight." Blitz says.

Celestia raises an eyebrow. "Really? They are useless?"

"You don't even use weapons. This is a comedy, not a war." Blitz says.

Celestia just keeps a stoic face. "We never had a war for a long time. Do you think we would be making it so easily now?"

"The battlefield is my home." Blitz says.

Celestia tilts her head a bit. "What do you know about me?"

"More than you will even know, granddaughter of Hurricane." Blitz says.

Celestia's stoic face finally broke and looks surprised at him.

"We are done here." Blitz says.

Celestia blinks and watches at he starts to leave. "Wait."

Then to her shock, he just disappeared entirely.

"I hate that." Celestia said walking back to her tent.


The next morning, Rainbow was talking to her squad about what happened last night.

"I'm telling you. He turned into a pegasus to avoid me." Rainbow says.

Another mare with a fiery mane shakes her head. "Impossible. Not even Celestia will do that."

"But it did happen. He even chewed out the princess a bit, calling us pathetic in a fight." Rainbow says.

"That's a meanie pants." A pink pony said with a flat pink mane.

"Dash, you need to lay off the cider. No way the princess would let that slide." A purple flat mane pony said next to the pink one with a swear jar very close to being full.

"He's a crude shrill…oh forget it. He's a nonsensical mother bucker!" The pink pony yells out before dropping a bit into the jar calmly.

"He also said he will walk right through the frontlines today in the battle." Rainbow says.

They all look to each other surprised. "That's suicide. He'll never make it." The fiery mane said.

"He sounded serious. I don't know what his deal is, but he sure seems that way to me." Rainbow says.

"And let me guess, the princess will want us to back him up right?" A white mane pegasus asks.

"He also said the Sombra here is an illusion." Rainbow adds.

"Huh?" Maud asks.

"Illusion." Rainbow said.

"Hum…what makes the mother bucker say that?" Pinkamena asks putting another bit into the jar.

Rainbow shrugs. "I don't know. Something about that he is too smart to appear on the frontline."

"He meant he only would do so if he was forced." Twilight says walking up, making Spitfire do a spit take.

"What the heck?! Another princess?!" She yells looking at her.

"Still think I was drunk?" Rainbow asks.

Twilight sighs. "You girls will be with Blitz on the front lines. Behind him though. And you will learn from him. I have seen what he can do in a battle and you don't want him against you."

"Yeah right. How good could he be?" Maud asks.

Twilight raises an eyebrow. "Wait and see. You have to get to the frontline right now."

"Yeah, yeah, come on girls. Time for the daily battle of this stalemate." Spitfire says.

Twilight huffs. "Celestia would disagree with what I have given her." She said walking away.


"Hey Spinner, you seen an unusual stallion around here? We are running defense for him." Spitfire asks.

Spinner just points to the armored pony at the front near the trench line. He was sitting on a rock above the trench, waiting.

Blitz sighs as he shakes his head. "Pathetic. Cloth uniforms and they get metal and crystal. Idiots."

"Care to repeat that?" Fleetfoot asks.

"Gladly, this isn't a war, it's a fucking joke." Blitz says.

Pinkamena holds up the swear jar to him.

"Foolish, they have hidden troops in the middle of the field under the snow. All alone, too far to get help." Blitz says.

They all lean out to see them. "Where?" Rainbow asks.

"Halfway from the enemy camp." Blitz says.

Rainbow narrows her eyes. "Um…there's nothing."

"You will see." Blitz says getting up and starts walking, despite cries for him to come back.

"Oh, there's a barb wire you need to cut. Their clothes aren't that good!" Twilight calls behind the lines.

"Um…Twilight, was it?" Celestia asks.

Twilight looks up to her. "Yes?"

"Um…Blitzkrieg is walking forward without everyone." Celestia says as the wind kicks up and the line of sight started to be blurred.

Twilight shrugs. "He's like that. He would literally walk into battle for his family."

Celestia looks at her and soon they heard screams and war cries.

Twilight sighs as she hears the others grumble. "Well he is dead. Can we get back to our normal assignment?" Rainbow asks.

Twilight holds up a hoof. "Wait for it."

After a few minutes, the screams stopped and Blitz returned and soon tossed a half destroyed captain helmet with blood on it into the trench before getting back onto his seat.

Twilight hums as she picks it up and looks it over. "Weird. This is metal…but Sombra destroyed its protection by having some control spells in it."

"Ten minutes." Blitz says as the troops start watching him.

Twilight then tossed the helmet into the air before firing a spell at it. "Normal fire spell should have destroyed the last protection before a magical blast of force should do it." She said as the pieces fell around her.

"I think you have to reevaluate your opinion Rainbow." Spitfire says.

Twilight yawns as she sits by Blitz. "Weaker than ours, right?"

"My opinion hasn't changed." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs as she leans against him. "When can we go?"

"Five more minutes for them to shake off their shock or they will be completely useless." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs and glares slightly to Celestia.

Celestia nods and signals the ponies to prepare to charge.

"So how much longer can we be here? If we at least get Sombra, we can end this early." Twilight asks.

"Yes and it will make it easier for us." Blitz says.

Twilight looks to him. "Can we finish this early? I don't want this to go on and see this world fall apart."

"It depends on them. You will be staying with Celestia while I work. Keep her on track as I carve a path." Blitz says.

Twilight smiles a bit. "You know I'm second best to Spike."

"Yes, you are." Blitz says getting up.

Twilight sighs and gets up as well and goes to Celestia. "Try and make it horrifying for him. Give him a taste of his own medicine."

"I will teach them the true horrors of war." Blitz says starting to walk forward as the other ponies get ready to charge as the snow and wind obscures their vision as it falters, showing the enemy getting ready to charge as well.

Twilight raises an eyebrow as Celestia gets ready to head in, but she places a hoof on her leg and makes her stop. "Only an idiot sends their commanders first."

"But my presence inspires the troops." Celestia says.

"Trust me, it's not the troops that need inspiration. It's the enemy when Blitz reaches them, beside, we both know with no Sombra there, you should conserve your power." Twilight says.

Celestia looks to her slightly confused as to how much this pony knew before just planting her hooves on the ground.

"Here we go. Spinner, make sure the new recruits don't get themselves killed." Spitfire says taking to the sky.

Spinner salutes as he turns to the new recruits.

"Charge!" A guard yells and the ponies started charging Sombra's forces and they started to do the same thing they always been doing. Blitz didn't even change his pace.

The two forces met far ahead of Blitz and started a brawl, punching and kicking each other. "Idiots even for Sombra. Make crystal weapons. You make crystal yourself." He said to himself.

"You seem relaxed." Maud says walking beside him with Pinkamena.

Blitz shrugs. "It's so petty. It's like watching nobles fight each other and they are even better than this."

"Oh, then why are you not in there yet?" Pinkamena chastises him.

"Because that is when the battle shifts into the next phase." Blitz says as three ponies charge them.

Maud frowns as she gets into a stance. "Pinkamena." She said and Pinkamena gets in her stance.

Blitz walks right past them as the three closed in. "Insects." Blitz says before withdrawing his claws on the right hoof and with a flash of silver, all three of the pony's heads flew off their bodies into the brawl. One hit the head of one of the guards and he turns around to see the severed head with blood still coming from it.

The solar guard looks to the head and jumps back surprised. "What the buck?!"

Blitz keeps walking to the frontline as Maud and Pinkamena could only stare at what just happened.

"What the buck?" They both ask and place a bit into the swear jar that appeared.

Blitz stepped into the battle line and pushed aside those on Celestia side and struck his claws through one of Sombra's ponies before tearing it out through the pony's right side, spraying blood in the direction.

Some blood fell onto the guards and they jump and try and wipe them off. "Not even good for healing." Blitz comments as he walks past.

Blitz then stopped and raised up onto his hindlegs. "This joke of a battle is over." Blitz says withdrawing his other claw before charging at Sombra's ponies on them with impressive speed and starts cutting through them like they are paper before jumping over them and spins midair, cutting off heads or at least part of them, spraying blood from everyone he cut down as he made his way to the center and really opens up as if he was in a berserker rage, slashing a few more times than necessary as blood flies everywhere, shocking the equestrian troops completely at his brutality.

"The buck is going on…?" Rainbow tries to ask.

Blitz then spies a wounded Sombra troop trying to crawl away and brings his hoof down and crushes the head in as the second wave approached.

"How…?" Celestia tries to ask in shock.

"It's as Blitz said, his home is the battlefield. He has lived so long there he can live no other way now." Twilight says sadly.

Celestia slowly looks to her. "How long?"

"Since he was a foal, he was foalnapped from this very country to be sold and was saved by ponies just like him. The mandalorians." Twilight says ringing a bell to Celestia.

Celestia blinks. "The Mandalorians. A so tough clan and only one survived before it was just a ghost."

"They survived in a sense, but left Equestria." Twilight says.

Celestia looks to her in small shock.

"None of the original clan line exists, but their teachings and ways survived. Blitz is one of those who follows their ways." Twilight says.

Celestia looks back to the battle as more blood was flying around. "So this is what my ancestor was like." Celestia says.

Blitz looks to the new wave before using his magic to start ripping the armor off the corpses and floats it in front of him.

Rainbow blinks as they were all stuck in sight. "What the heck is he…?"

They watch as the armor started to be torn apart into what was small pieces of shrapnel and the sharp ends start to point towards the charging ponies.

"Wait?! He isn't thinking of…?!" Spitfire yells.

Soon, all of the shards start flying ahead to meet the charging line and the result was gruesome as the shrapnel rips through the armor, the flesh, and bones.

They watch as the charging line slowly comes to a stop before falling down on each other. "This is…" One guard tries to say.

"War." Blitz finishes starting to walk forward once more.

"Blitz. End this. We still need the population of crystal ponies intact to survive. Finish this fight or knock them out and get to Sombra. Show a real fight." He hears Twilight over the radio.

Blitz nods and starts letting the force flow from him with a little darkness starting to amplify the fear the ponies of Sombra's troops felt. "Remove your armor and surrender now or don't and all of you will die. This is your only warning." Blitz calls.

They watch as the rest of the line stop before they had shaking legs reach up and start to remove their helmets and drop them to the ground and they start to quickly move and get rid of the armor.

Blitz starts marching again as they got out of the way out of fear. Fear so great to break Sombra's hold. Soon the enemy camp was ablaze.

Celestia gulps as she watches Blitz sit in front of the burning camp. "He's…"

"A product of war." Twilight says as the troops brought back the freed crystal ponies, which to most, shock was most of them.

Twilight sighs as she watches them. "At least that species line of ponies will survive. This world needs all…even elusive changelings. Blitz…come on back. Time to end this war." She calls into the communicator as she walks back into camp.

"Twilight, you are wrong. This war has just started; we have a long way to go before we reach the goal." Blitz says.

"How many more cities do we need to go through?" She asks.

"Many." Blitz says.

"Then how about a ploy?" She asks.

"Fight by Celestia's side. I am going straight to the crystal empire." Blitz says starting to walk.

"Try to gather as many crystal ponies you can. I don't want to see them pushed into extinction. But they have the size of an empire city."

"Just send a division to follow behind me." Blitz says.

"Already done." Twilight said waving over Celestia who have been listening.


That night, many ponies could not believe what had happened in the battle. They had won completely defeating the Sobra troops, but the method…

"This is slaughter." Celestia said as Twilight drew more maps.

"That is war." Twilight says.

Celestia frowns. "So I build this victory over Sombra in a pool of blood?"

"That is the nature of war itself and only blood being spilt was by the mandalorians, the original owners of these lands. Your people." Twilight says.

Celestia stares at her as she just calmly drew on the maps. "What do you know of my kind?"

"Sorry, I was sworn to secrecy and not much to be honest. Blitz knows far more and good luck getting him to talk." Twilight says.

Celestia frowns as she sat back down at her table. "You two are an anomaly. Just coming in here and killing them all."

"Blitz does have a reason. He looks for his son and Sombra is either responsible or in his way and as you seen, he will slaughter anything in his way." Twilight says.

Celestia huffs. "How can you be so calm of this…madhouse?"

"This isn't my first war either and I am also worried. Blitz is my stallion and my son is the one he searches for." Twilight says sadly.

Celestia's glare softens as she hears that. "Your son?"

"My little Arcane. I feel pain from this, but Blitz keeps it all bottled up and if Sombra provokes him, there is no telling to what will happen." Twilight says.

Celestia stares at her as Twilight seem to have gain the long yard stare before going back to her maps.


"You ok there Spinner?" Spitfire asks.

"All that blood…" Spinner tries to speak.

"Hang in there stallion." Spitfire says patting his shoulder before leaving.

"You ok Spitfire?" Rainbow asks checking her gear.

Spitfire sighs. "How does one deal with war like that?"

"I don't know, but you hear what he said this was war to him?" Rainbow says.

Spitfire nods. "Makes me wonder what his wars was like really."

"Probably the same as what we saw. So what is the princess going to do with the crystal ponies?" Rainbow asks.

Spitfire looks to her. "I heard they were making a breeding program so they can have the numbers in case Blitz kills them all or worse, Sombra."

"I mean what is the plan for them. They going to help our populace supply us?" Rainbow asks.

Spitfire raises an eyebrow. "Did you see their eyes? They wanted no more of it. Nothing. Probably just wants a secluded little village and hide there until this boils over."

"I'm personally shocked they were scared so badly it broke the mind control." Pinkamena says.

Maud nods. "For Sombra, that's tough to do. Makes me wonder how much Blitz can have a hold on them or even Sombra himself."

"I bet they are still conscious under it all and feeling something stronger like fear would break the control completely." A royal guard unicorn says.

"Maybe they are. They really wanted to take off the armor." Pinkamena said.

"Despite how you look at it, we won." A guard says happily smug.

A rock was suddenly thrown his way and hits him square on the head and knocks him down. "Congratulations, you won the battle and lost the war by succumbing to an assassination." Blitz said tossing a rock up and down as he was ahead of them, listening to them bicker.

"Why is he insist on sitting so far away?" Fleetfoot asks.

"Because we have so much we can't tell or do." Twilight said walking past and goes to Blitz.

Blitz says nothing as he looks out. "There is a fort not far on the road ahead. Fastest way to the empire." Blitz says.

Twilight nods as she sits down and leans against him. "How are you doing?" She asks quietly.

"Indifferent." Blitz says.

Twilight looks up to him. "Blitz."

"If we succeed, this will have never happened." Blitz says bluntly.

Twilight sighs and looks ahead as well. "And all our long days and hours will be all for naught and just wasted."

"You know that is not what I meant." Blitz says.

Twilight just nuzzles into his armor. "Please, I had enough of this. I just want it to stop and let us all be together again. All of us." She said as she moves a hoof to her stomach.

"I know and the fastest way to do that is to bloody my hooves again." Blitz says.

Twilight wraps a hoof around his armored one. "Please, save as many as you can."

"If the fear they feel snaps them out of it, then they will live." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs and closes her eyes. "She knows her heritage line."

"I know. Terra informed me she told her daughters everything." Blitz says.

Twilight starts to rest against him. "Don't ever leave me or the others."

"I won't. Now get some rest. I move out tomorrow and you stay here with Celestia." Blitz says.

Twilight mumbles as she clumsily wraps her hooves around him. "Don't…"

"Rest." Blitz says petting her as she fell asleep.

Rainbow raises an eyebrow as she watches them. "Do you see that?"

"The way she snuggled into him?" Fleetfoot asks.

Rainbow nods. "The way they talked…it's like they were just soldiers."

"I would say more like married." Spitfire says.

Rainbow raises an eyebrow to her. "How would you know?"

"I have seen a lot of romance movies." Spitfire admits blushing.

Rainbow taps her hooves. "Before or after the theaters were gone?"

"Both." Spitfire says.

Rainbow scoffs. "Right."

"Oh, you don't think so? Why don't you go and try and flirt with him then Rainbow?" Maud challenged.

Rainbow frowns to her. "We have a war right on the next hill and you what me to flirt?"

"Sounds like someone isn't confident she can do it." Pinkamena says.

Rainbow huffs. "I'll show you. I just need to get that big head away from him and he'll be like all the other stallions."

"She is asleep. Somepony go take her to one of the beds." Spitfire says.

Maud smiles and gets up and moves to them.

"Can I help you?" Blitz asks.

Maud smiles. "I can take the mare to bed. We have some tents for you."

"Very well." Blitz says.

Maud nods and takes Twilight and places her across Maud's back and walks back to camp.

Blitz sat there waiting as he looks to the two paths, one into a canyon, the other into rolling hills with crystal everywhere.

"Hey?" Rainbow said behind him.

"Yes?" Blitz asks.

Rainbow frowns a bit. "Kinda wanted to talk to you."

"About?" Blitz asks.

Rainbow watches him carefully. "You."

"Huh?" Blitz asks looking at her now.

Rainbow smiles a bit. "You. I want to know more about you."

"What brought this on?" Blitz asks.

Rainbow just points to Twilight's sleeping form.

"Ah, my wife." Blitz says.

Rainbow blinks. "Wife huh?"

"Yes, the head one at least. She insisted we form a herd." Blitz says.

Rainbow frowns. "Lucky. We don't even have a chance to get together."

"You will soon enough." Blitz says.

Rainbow raises an eyebrow. "I doubt that."

"it should take two weeks of walking to get to the capital from here." Blitz says.

Rainbow scoffs. "Please. With all those soldiers out there, it became a year."

"If you take the long way around, yes." Blitz says.

Rainbow rolls her eyes. "You won't even make it in two weeks."

"Not unless you walk in a straight line to it." Blitz says sending alarm bells off inside Rainbow's head.

Rainbow frowns. "You are going through the canyon."

"It is the fastest way." Blitz says.

"Are you kidding?! That is the most fortified path of the front with two forts. One in the canyon, the other outside the exit and they are jam-packed with more troops than what we fought on the plains." Rainbow says.

"So?" Blitz asks completely unfazed.

Rainbow scoffs as she seems to have a slight temper and walks around angrily. "You do have a death wish. Don't count me in if you get killed."

"I wouldn't expect you too. Your life is precious." Blitz says.

Rainbow blinks and looks to him confused. "What?"

"You heard me." Blitz says looking back to the paths.

Rainbow just ended up staring at him.

Blitz sat there in silence, knowing Rainbow was still watching him. 'Even if you are not my Rainbow, I still love you.'

Rainbow groans out loud and walks away. "You're a bucking idiot."

Blitz just looks up to the stars and starts to recall the faces of those he loves, from his mares to his foals.

"So how did it go?" Pinkamena asks.

"He has a death wish." Rainbow said simply and sits down before laying on the ground.

"Oh, looks like somepony got more than she bargained for." Muad says.

Rainbow scoffs. "He's going for the canyon."

They all look at her at once. "Wait what? Does he not realize that is Sombra's supply line and he fortified it well?" Spitfire asks.

Blitz's ears perks up in their direction. "I don't think he even knows better about the two forts there with it being old castles." He heard Rainbow said.

"I think he is getting up." Fleetfoot says.

They all look and sees Blitz leaving. "What the buck? I thought it wasn't until morning?" Pinkamena asks before Muad brings out the swear jar.

Blitz keeps walking until he turns into his pegasus form and takes off.

"This guy is a bucking idiot!" Rainbow yells and tosses a bit behind her.

"Did he just grow wings?" Fleetfoot asks.

"Ask bucking Celestia about that! We have more pressing matters. Like what will Sombra do when he realized that line will be attacked." Spitfire yells and tosses a bit behind her as well.

"We better stop him." Rainbow says unfurling her wings.

Fleetfoot gets on her back and stops her. "And what?! You going to follow him to that line too?"

"We were ordered to watch him. You want to give Blueblood a reason to enslave us in for himself as punishment for disobeying orders?" Rainbow asks.

Fleetfoot frowns. "And the other is getting yourself killed."

"I would rather die than let him touch me." Rainbow says bucking Fleetfoot off her and takes off.

Fleetfoot groans. "She's dead." She said unfurling her wings."

"But, we are going." Spitfire says taking off.

Spinner blinks as they all leave. He shrugs and starts running toward the canyon.

"How fast is he?" Rainbow asks trying to find him as they neared the fort. To her shame, she was not as fast as she used to be because of her prosthetic.

Spitfire frowns as she looks behind her at Rainbow. "You doing okay?"

"Can't find the guy and we are nearing the fort." Rainbow says.

"It has been two hours. Could we have over shot him?" Fleetfoot asks.

Spitfire shakes her head. "Not really. We would have seen him."

"I think I see smoke coming from the fort." Spitfire says.

Rainbow raises an eyebrow at the sight. "That isn't fire smoke."

"Investigate?" Spitfire asks.

Rainbow flies down and tries to get in close and covers her mouth from the smoke before seeing many bodies on the ground and not moving and flies back up. "They're on the ground."

"Looks like he was already here." Spitfire says. "Alright, air filtration on you two." Spitfire instructs, getting her helmet out and putting it on.

Rainbow frowns as she puts on hers. "I hate these things."

"Let's go." Fleetfoot says before flying in and they examine the ones on the ground, but find them breathing.

"They're alive." Spitfire said getting the helmet off of one.

"Not what I was expecting." Rainbow says removing another one.

Fleetfoot huffs as she tosses away a bunch of helmets. "Outside the walls too."

"I saw no…there he is." Spitfire says spotting Blitz sitting on one of the walls.

"They will be fine. Just get the armors." He said not even moving.

"Somepony go inform Spinner and others coming. We have the fort and open the gate for them." Spitfire says.

Fleetfoot flies off and goes to find the team.

Spitfire, seeing this, goes to see Blitz. "What do you need?" Blitz asks.

Spitfire frowns. "Explanations."

"This is how you covertly take a supply line. When do you think the next shipment will arrive?" Blitz asks.

Spitfire growls silently. "In a few days' time."

"Then ambush it and take the supplies." Blitz says bluntly.

Spitfire frowns. "Easier said than done."

"Just don't show off. This fort was captured like some sort of Jackass and it will work." Blitz says freezing Spitfire as that was one of her favorite phrases when training wonderbolts.

"Well…okay then." Spitfire says weirded out a bit.

"The smoke will clear. In less than an hour, the effects will go away past dawn." Blitz says.


"Something isn't right. They should have gotten resupplied by now." Celestia says looking at the hill forts that controlled this area.

Twilight hums as she stands by her and keeps writing on the maps. "Must have been stopped."

"But how? The forts of the supply line are well fortified and very well manned." Celestia says before a messenger runs up.

"Princess, the line inside the canyon has been captured." He said panting.

"By who?" Celestia asks.

The messenger pants deeply. "Blitzkrieg."

"Told you." Twilight said without stopping her writing.

"Send a few divisions to man that fort." Celestia orders.

"Also, they are sending the captured ponies and supplies to us." The messenger says before all of them nod and run off.

"Supplies? Why would they send supplies?" Celestia asks.

"They probably captured a shipment with an ambush knowing Blitzy." Twilight says.

Celestia raises an eyebrow to her. "Blitzy?"

"My name for him." Twilight says.

Celestia frowns. "This is reckless now."

"He could have burnt it to the ground." Twilight points out.

Celestia groans silently. "Point."

Twilight sighs and takes out a picture of her and little Arcane and looks at it for a while.

Celestia leans in a bit. "Your son?" She asks seeing the mare before her holding a little colt.

"Now I know how Blitzy feels like." Twilight said in her own world.

"You will get him back. I am sure of it." Celestia says putting a hoof on her shoulder.

Twilight twitched a smile. 'She's getting back to her roots.' "Yeah, before or after Blitz burns the world to ash, looking for him?" Twilight asks.

Celestia sighs. "He would certainly find this son of yours first before doing anything else."

"Yeah and you see what bloody path he will carve to find him." Twilight says.

Celestia frowns as she looks over the horizon where the path is, trying to ascertain how much he could do.


"I can see reinforcements marching our way." Spinner says to Spitfire.

Spitfire frowns as she steels herself. "Prepare for a fight then."

"There ours." Spinner says making out the flag.

Spitfire sighs in relief. "Good. Go meet up with them and tell them everything."

Blitz gets up and jumps off the wall.

Rainbow frowns. "Where's he going?"

"Oh, why you becoming attached?" Pinkamena asks.

Rainbow huffs and looks away. "I'm not. Just of Sombra I'll do once he finds out."

"Looks like he is heading for the next fort." Fleetfoot says.

"We are never going to get a break are we?" A guard asks.

"Nope! Now move out!" Spitfire calls.

"I'll greet and get them up to date before catching up." Spinner says.

"Got it." Spitfire says as the gates start to open.

"Take the fort!" They hear from outside and a bunch of cheering.

Blitz walked with the rest of the division at a leisurely rate, only stopping outside the fort which was reinforced.

"Crosscut fences huh." He asks himself as looks at the other end of the fort.

"Great. Looks like Sombra has really reinforced this place. We can't even fly in with the crystal dome over the top." Rainbow says.

"The gate is also magical resistant and reinforced so magic won't work." Blitz says.

"So what are you going to do?" Spitfire asks.

"I will knock." Blitz says bringing up his left hoof and fires a rocket from it. When the rocket hits the gate, it was blown apart and thrown into the fort.

"What the…?" Spitfire stops at the sight.

Blitz says nothing and starts walking forward into the fort's new opening.

Spitfire shook herself out of the stupor and yelled. "Attack!"

The whole army yelled as they charge the fort and then metal clanging was heard as Blitz continues in his leisurely pace, either cutting down or smacking the defenders away before making it to the commander, his claws drawn.

It took less than an hour of fighting for the fort to fall after the shock of them losing their main gate.

"We did it!" A guard yells cutting the flag down.

"I can't believe it we took the entire Sombra supply route." Rainbow says.

Spitfire cheers as she jumps in the air. "Now this war is ten times easier.

Blitz just looks at the commander whose helmet he took off to find a crystal mare who was panting hard at the exhaustion. "The city is surrounded by a crystal wall." She said as he held her up from collapsing.

"And Sombra? Where exactly is he?" Blitz asks.

The mare looks up to him with tired eyes. "The main castle. Where many twists and turns have been made to stop anypony from getting in. If you want to get in, you have to follow his hoofsteps. I'm sorry I can't give more."

"Go join the rest and head along the supply line. Your part in this war is over." Blitz says.

The mare tiredly nods and leans into him. "Thank you."

"Spinner." Blitz calls.

Spinner perks his head up from the small cheering crowd and rushes over to him and salutes.

"Help her and the others get out of here." Blitz says.

Spinner nods and helps lead the mare and the others out with a group of soldiers following them.

"The crystal empire is all that is left." Blitz says.

Rainbow stops cheering and turns to him with a frown. "You'll never make it in."

"Making it here was also impossible." Blitz says stretching his wings a bit.

Rainbow goes a bit wide eyed. "You aren't doing what I think you're doing."

"I plan on removing the head of this snake." Blitz says.

Rainbow huffs. "You'll never make it to the castle before you are shot down."

"I'm not going to fly in." Blitz says.

Rainbow raises an eyebrow. "Then what, dig?"

"We besiege the city." Blitz says.

Rainbow looks shocked. "What?!"

"This will force Sombra to pull back his forces as his capital and he is now vulnerable. Doing so though opens up too many openings and will allow the main force to meet us here and then we besiege the city." Blitz says.

Rainbow held a glare on her face. "You intend to go on a suicide mission to wipe the city? You are crazy."

"No, simply the siege is a distraction while I slip in and kill Sombra." Blitz says.

Rainbow huffs. "So we are just useless ponies to you."

"Look me in the eye and tell me you can kill another pony and watch them plead to you with their eyes not to let them die." Blitz says.

Rainbow kept glaring at him as best she could…but it quickly faltered and she quickly looks away with a grunt.

"Don't become like me." Blitz says before walking away, surprising Rainbow.

"Did you just…try and stare him down?" Spitfire asks.

"And lost badly." Rainbow says.

Spitfire frowns slightly. "You might be more crazy than him then."

"You hear what he said at the end?" Rainbow asks.

Spitfire nods. "Yeah, don't become like him. He wants us to fight better, but not him…?"

"I can't make heads or tails of him." Rainbow says.

Spitfire sighs. "Maybe it's for the better."

"I'm wondering what he looks like now. He hasn't taken his helmet off since we met." Fleetfoot says.

Spitfire shrugs. "Maybe he's scarred."

"Oh, is that all miss romantic?" Fleetfoot asks.

Spitfire rolls her eyes. "What else supposed to be there?"

"I've heard you in your sleep fantasizing about the mysterious wounded soul." Fleetfoot says.

Spitfire shrugs. "It's a good one."

"Oh?" Rainbow asks.

Spitfire smiles. "Yeah, the wounded soul always gets the mare easy."

"Like you both and our mysterious stallion there?" Fleetfoot adds.

Spitfire sputters her lips and gives a small wave. "Please, he's got a mare already who I bet got banged three ways to Sunday."

"He did say he has a herd that she got him to form." Rainbow says.

"Really now?" Spitfire asks.

Rainbow nods. "Makes me wonder who he got. Wonder if it's also going through the other classes of ponies. I mean…he's a unicorn and she's a unicorn so…"

"Alicorn and right now, he is a pegasus with a nice wingspan." Fleetfoot says.

Spitfire leans over. "You thinking of another length right now?" She teased with a grin.

"You know the old saying." Fleetfoot says making both the other mares blush.

"Well…we still have a city left over." Rainbow said trying to change the subject and brings the blush down.

"Oh what is this? The no stallion mare blushing?" Maud asks.

Rainbow frowns and grumbles to herself.

"Oh where?" Pinkamena asks.

Rainbow mumbles louder.

The sisters turn and look at each other before chuckling a bit at Rainbow.

Rainbow groans.

"Go on Rainbow. Go talk to him." Fleetfoot says.

Rainbow rolls her eyes and walks off. "Fine."

"Oh, how will this end?" Pinkamena asks.

Spitfire smiles. "Want me to make a story?"

"Let's watch this train wreck unfold ourselves…by the way, what was that about an old saying?" Maud asks.

"Um…well…I…oh, we should find a good spot to watch." Fleetfoot says before running away and Spitfire follows.


"Well we now control the hill forts." Celestia says as her banner raises over the last one.

Twilight hums as she goes over the maps. "Maybe. Though there are little ones."

"Yes, but with the supplies cut, they will start to starve and be weak…" Celestia was cut off by a messenger pony running up out of breath.

"Breath." Twilight orders.

The messenger took a few moments to get his breathing in order before giving his message. "Fort Titan has fallen to us. The way to the capital lies exposed."

Twilight smiles. "Told ya, again."

"Titan has fallen." Celestia says having to take a seat.

Twilight nods as she gives her a bunch of maps. "Here, possible attack plans on the city."

"The city!?" Celestia yells in disbelief.

Twilight nods and goes to the nearby bed. "Yes. He intends to end this."

"But, that would mean drawing troops away from other fronts." Celestia says.

"Sombra is already doing it. His capital is exposed along with him. He is worried now." Twilight says.

Celestia blink. "I never believe such a black hearted demon would feel fear."

"Having his forces decimated and a march from one division that his best fortifications couldn't stop. It makes himself conscious and unsure if his power base is so secure." Twilight says.

Celestia frowns. "We have to stop him soon."

"Don't worry, this siege will be the end." Twilight says fluffing a pillow.

Celestia raises an eyebrow. "How can you be so sure?"

"Because he's in Blitz's sights now and that is the last place you want to be. In between Blitz and his foal. There are easier ways at suicide like jumping off a cliff." Twilight says.

Celestia tilts her head. "And you have seen him like this?"

"A few times it never ended well for somepony in the way…let's hope that the Crystal Empire's castle will still be standing when it is over." Twilight says.

Celestia gulps silently as she tries to keep a straight face.


"Ug…my pounding head." Rainbow says rubbing her head as she awoke.

"Are you okay?" A voice asks beside her.

"Yeah, I am…" Rainbow stops to look at the stallion beside her in the bed, his eyes still closed.

Blitz sighs as he kept trying to rest up. "If you want, you can get back to bed."

"Um…" Rainbow stops spotting Blitz's helmet on the counter of the room.

"Let me at least get a few more hours of rest." Blitz says.

Rainbow gulps as she looks him over before hearing a knock at the door and goes to see who it is.

"Hey, you ready to join the rest of the unit for morning drills?" Spitfire asks.

Rainbow blinks for a moment. "Um…sure."

"Good." Spitfire says pulling her out. "So where did you go last night?" Spitfire asks as they walk noticing Rainbow was out of uniform, but figured she took it off to sleep.

Rainbow sighs. "Where were we?"

"In drills or last night?" Spitfire asks.

Rainbow rubs her head. "What the heck happened?"

"You went off to talk to Blitzkrieg. You talked for a while then you both took the conversation to more private location and from there, I don't know." Spitfire says.

Rainbow gulps. "Do you know what happened or anypony else?"

"No, there was no sound or anything. Heck, Pinkamena added ten bits to the swear jar after losing that bet." Spitfire says.

Rainbow blankly stares at her.

"Ok, ok, so it was more like twenty." Spitfire admits.

Rainbow huffs. "Come on. Let's get training." She said walking away.

"So what did he look like?" Spitfire asks.

Rainbow scratches her head. "I don't remember. It was too dark."

"Dark?" Spitfire asks.

Rainbow nods. "I don't remember and just woke up. His face was in the dark too."

"What do you remember?" Spitfire asks smirking.

"Let's see…um…I remember something going inside…" Rainbow immediately stops.

Spitfire leans in. "What?"

"Nothing." Rainbow says quickly.

"He plowed you didn't he?" Spitfire asks.

Rainbow blushes beet red and glares at her. "I would know."

"And the red says you do." Spitfire says.

Rainbow huffs.

"So how was it?" Spitfire asks.

Rainbow blinks and looks at her confused. "I don't know."

"Oh, I see it was so good to you that it was too much to handle." Spitfire says.

Rainbow blushes hard again. "No!"

"Guess we can call you the no stallion mare anymore." Spitfire jokes.

Rainbow raises a hoof to hit her with.

"Superior officer." Spitfire says making her lower it.

"Damn you." Rainbow said.

"Remains between us." Spitfire says.

Rainbow scoffs. "It better."

"As long as you can get him to do me as well. I need to blow off some steam like you did." Spitfire says and Rainbow could not tell if she was serious or joking.

Rainbow raises an eyebrow. "Uh huh."

"What…ok, tell me how do you feel today?" Spitfire asks.

Rainbow hums. "Not bad really."

"Compared to the last month." Spitfire says.

Rainbow shrugs. "Really better than that time."

"And what is different from then and now?" Spitfire asks.

Rainbow shrugs. "I don't know."

"Nudge, nudge, wink, wink." Spitfire says.

Rainbow pushes her. "Shut up."

"You know I am right." Spitfire playfully pushes her back.

Rainbow groans out loud.

"Now come on. Let's see if you fly any better today." Spitfire says.

Rainbow huffs as she takes off. "About time."

'She is so happy to have gotten laid.' Spitfire thinks.


"You ok in there?" Spitfire calls knocking on the door after the sun was starting to set. "If you don't answer I am coming in." Spitfire calls and still no answer.

Spitfire says and opens the door and walks in and sees the lights were still extinguished. "Alright, let's get some light in here." Spitfire says before striking a match and starts lighting some candles in the room. Looking around she found Blitz's helmet on the counter and a form in the bed.

"Five more minutes alright?" Blitz asks tiredly.

Spitfire frowns. "Hey, we have to get ready."

"What for? Even if they march here double time the whole way with no rest, it will take nearly a week for them all to arrive." Blitz says waving a hoof at her.

Spitfire raises an eyebrow. "And how do you figure that?"

"Twilight will need to draw troops from other sectors of the war like Sombra will do now that the road to his capital is open to us." Blitz says.

Spitfire looks unconvinced. "Uh huh."

"Look, just let me sleep." Blitz says.

Spitfire sighs. "Look, it's best we move out and check things out."

"Has the gate been replaced?" Blitz asks as Spitfire walks closer.

Spitfire hums. "Not yet, but it's being worked on."

"Then send small scouts to watch and most repair that gate." Blitz says before Spitfire removes the covers.

Spitfire gasps as she backs off a bit.

"What is it now?" Blitz asks covering his head with his wings.

Spitfire gulps as she takes in the sight. "How about…food?"

"Not now Spits. Doesn't Sunrise need his mother?" Blitz asks.

Spitfire blinks. "Sunrise?"

"Spits, are you telling me you forgot the name of your son, whom you gave birth to? In which the said birth you needed a c section for both to live?" Blitz asks more asleep than awake.

Spitfire looks shocked at him. "Who lived?" She asked carefully.

"Yes, now please stop the bad joke. We have been married for what? Three? Four years now?" Blitz asks.

Spitfire frowns a little as she hears this. "Hey! Wake up!"

"Spitfire please, let me rest, I…oh my god, I just talked." Blitz says his eyes shooting open wide.

Spitfire huffs. "Yeah, now get up."

Blitz laughs nervously as he gets up. "You no doubt have questions." Blitz says.

Spitfire nods. "Oh yeah."

Blitz sighs. "I am from a parallel timeline." Blitz says.

Spitfire raises an eyebrow.

"Ok…how to explain this…ah, when you dam up a river, what happens if it doesn't stop?" Blitz asks.

Spitfire leans forward a bit skeptical. "Finds another way."

"Exactly the same applies with time. Let me put it like this, what would happen if some pony went back in time and stopped a major event from happening?" Blitz asks.

Spitfire slowly waves a hoof around. "Different events."

"Exactly. In my time, Sombra, although he came back, it was briefly before he was destroyed and he never got to enslave the crystal ponies again. In fact, the crystal empire became a protectorate of Equestria and a quite rich one at that." Blitz says.

Spitfire keeps an eyebrow raised. "And why should I believe you?"

"Because I am not lying and…" Blitz stops before bringing up a 3D projection of Spitfire and Sunrise. "That is Sunrise, our son in my timeline."

Spitfire stares at the projection. "Ours?"

"Yeah, you, Fleetfoot, and Rainbow are all in my herd. And if you can believe it, while you were pregnant, Soarin pissed you off so bad you got Twilight to turn him into a mare…though his sexuality didn't change." Blitz says.

Spitfire blinks, not sure what to say or do.

"Ok, you want absolute proof about it, ask me anything that you have never told anypony, even your own mother." Blitz says.

Spitfire hums. "My fetish."

"You love it when I tie you down to a table and just start spanking you before riding you roughly and twisting your nipples." Blitz says.

Spitfire blushes heavily as she gulps. "That could be any mare."

"You also wanted to be a fashion model when you were a little filly and then wanted to be a hoofball player in elementary school, then a hockey player in middle school. You didn't even consider becoming a wonderbolt until after you passed your tryout on the first time when Soarin begged you to come with him to the try outs to help give him confidence." Blitz says.

Spitfire blinks slowly at that. "How…?"

"You also had a secret identity for when you went out with Vinyl on the nightclub scene in high school. You used a dye to dye your mane purple and your coat silver and called yourself Burner." Blitz says.

Spitfire blinks as she kept watching him.

"Need any more proof?" Blitz asks.

Spitfire was stuck staring at him in shock.

Blitz sighs and waits for her to process everything and starts reviewing data Twilight sent him and letting her know he was up and awake. 'By the way, Spitfire got me to talk while half asleep so I will wait for you to yell at me when you arrive.' Blitz sends.

'Idiot.' She sends back.

'Love you.' Blitz sends with a picture of Aether.

'You got off this time.' She sends back.

'I was going to send the power of love, but then I thought, what about Cadance and Shining?' Blitz sends.

'I don't know. My whole family could have been sent somewhere else entirely.' She sends.

'…you asking Celestia?' Blitz sends.

'…maybe.' Twilight sends.

'Oh sorry, Spits is snapping out of it.' Blitz sends.

'Take pictures.' She asks.

Blitz snaps a picture and sends it to her.

'Not bad.'

'Though I prefer her mane to be longer in the back.' Blitz says ending a picture of Rainbow, Fleetfoot, and Pinkamena as well.

'Let's hurry this up. I want to go home already.' Twilight sends.

'You and me both…picture the looks on the other's faces when we show them these pictures.' Blitz sends before Spitfire taps his shoulder. "Ah, you take it all in?"

Spitfire slowly nods. "Yeah…sort of…"

"You miss having a longer mane by the way?" Blitz asks.

Spitfire blinks and runs a hoof through her mane. "Yeah…always."

"So, you believe me or you want me to go into your embarrassing teen stories you told me or the Vinyl told me?" Blitz asks.

Spitfire gulps. "No, it's fine." She said waving her hooves no.

"So please don't tell anyone…also, I can already tell you want to know about Soarin, right?" Blitz asks.

Spitfire slowly nods.

"She is in the herd and was pregnant." Blitz says.

Spitfire was surprised at that.

"So no telling anyone else got it?" Blitz asks getting really close.

Spitfire fearfully nods and tries to figure out how he got this close.


"Finally, we are here." Twilight says sighing.

Blitz raises an eyebrow. "Um…bad move Sombra. You literally have one way in and out."

"Yes, but good for us." Twilight says smiling before looking at Spitfire.

"Eep." Spitfire says.

"So have you given them plans for a siege weapon or and I going to have to try and pull down debris from space?" Blitz asks.

Twilight chuckles. "What do you take me for, an idiot?"

"No, but you can be forgetful and scatterbrained at times." Blitz reminds.

Twilight stops and stares at him. "Really?"

"Ah hem." Blitz says pulling out a list and takes a breath to start reading.

"Read that and the couch for a year." Twilight threatens and Blitz quickly shreds it.

"What list? I see no list." Blitz says quickly.

Twilight smiles. "Good boy."

"So what siege engines we using, catapults or cannons?" Blitz asks.

Twilight smirks. "Slingshots."

Blitz raises an eyebrow. "Slingshots?"

Twilight holds up a hoof. "Good thing there are some bat ponies who know how to do their jobs correctly."

Blitz blinks at that. "Secure the keys!" They heard and look over to the sound and sees the mine entrance.

Twilight smirks. "An old poem." She said waving behind her and they start setting up poles and large rubber bands.

"Slingshots." Blitz reemphasizing that.

Twilight nods. "Because, it's all the mining crew can get. Hit them from both sides and is more accurate. Heck, you can see where it might go."

"Ascend from darkness!" They heard.

"Well I best get ready to be fired." Blitz says.

Twilight laughs. "Sort of, yeah. Because the next one is…" She calls and points behind her. "Rain fire!" The crowd yells before she turns back to him. "There is one of a hoof of iron. But…launching time." She said pushing him away as firebombs came from the mining entrance.

Blitz smiles as he settles into the slingshot, before cloaking himself. Twilight smiles as she helps aim and steps away. "Wait for it…"

"Unleash the horde!"

"Now!" Twilight yells.

Blitz was fired along with several other rocks at the constructed crystal walls around the city and thus began the siege. Blitz used his pegasus wings to glide through the air as the ponies under Sombra's control rushed to the wall, allowing him to fly by unnoticed to all. Blitz then started to ascend to the top of the castle where Sombra was watching the siege.

"Skewer the winged beast!" Sombra heard and saw some rope hooks fly through the air before grabbing onto his statue and pulls it down.

Sombra growls and roars as he charges his magic. "Wield a hoof of iron!" The mining crowd yelled as some of them picked up the weapons and use it against them with the mining tools.

Blitz smiles to himself as he realized the last two steps and comes up behind Sombra slowly. "Raise hell!" The crowd and army yells as they rush the city as Blitz quickly taps Sombra's shoulder and slices his horn off with his claws before removing the rest of his head and then tossing the body off. "I am the reaper of justice and revenge Sombra." Blitz says appearing before him before he died from the decapitation.

"Freedom!" The crowd and army yells as the crystal ponies start to take off the armor and helmets.

Blitz stood there as the wind blew his cloak, making my look kind of like a new evil overlord.

Twilight smiles as she walks off toward the mine. "I know the crystals is here somewhere." She said as Celestia looked shocked.


"You ready Twi?" Blitz asks as Twilight had teleported them both back to the map after they got several crystals.

Twilight sighs as she starts looking them over. "Hard to believe this whole thing is over."

"Not yet, first we got to stop Starlight." Blitz says as Twilight casts the spell.


"That bitch!" Blitz cries as they were now in a huge jungle.

Twilight angrily pounds her hoof in the ground. "I should have known better."

"Oh, I am so going to hurt that cunt when I get my hooves on her." Blitz growls.

Twilight looks at him slightly surprised. "Wow, that's a new word for you."

"I try to restrain my words around foals." Blitz clarifies.

Twilight sighs and looks around. "Any case…where…" She stops as she looks one way. "Um…Blitz?"

"I see them." Blitz says sighing. "Get that thing out of my face Pinkamena Pie before you poke your eye out." Blitz says.

Pinkamena points a hoof at him. "Change changing pants."

"Oh, it's Pinkie Pie. Can Pinkamena come out to play? I have a knife for her." Blitz says holding a switchblade out like it was a dog treat.

Pinkie's mane immediately goes flat. "Give me." She said pointing the spear at him.

"You want it, go get it." Blitz says tossing it like it was a ball.

Pinkamena frowns. "You think I'm going to ah forget it." She said before quickly running off after the knife.

Blitz chuckles to himself seeing this.

Twilight scratches her head. "Huh." She said before looking to the other ponies who had spears pointed at them. "Well this is strange."

'Strange enough that I am feeling a familiar presence somehow.' Chrysalis suddenly piped up in her head.

"Look, put those away. You will more likely hurt yourselves than me." Blitz says smacking a spear away.

The spear immediately went let back to where it was and closer.

"I'm starting to think you want me to hurt you." Blitz says.

"We should just kill them." One said.

"Twi, may I lay the smack down?" Blitz asks before Zecora's voice was heard.

"Stop, if they are changeling's, we will soon see." Zecora says jumping down from a tree.

"Hum, Zebra shaman clothing, a variation from the customary type. Most likely used what she had." Blitz says.

Twilight rolls her eyes as Zecora takes out a bottle of some thick gunk. 'Um…Twilight?' Chrysalis pipes up again.

"Nuh uh, how do we know we can trust you?" Blitz says holding her hoof with the force to Zecora's surprise.

Zecora frowns as she looks to her hoof and tries to move it. "Do you, like me?"

"Ah, zebra custom trick question as part of the mate finding process. Now stop with your games please. I have no patience for it like how your father had no patience for your brother's tom foolery when he was teaching him how to fight with the spear." Blitz says.

Zecora stares at him as Twilight leans over. "Since when did you read up on zebras and…are you actually going for a zebra in the herd now?" Twilight whispered.

"A, in preparation for the safari and B, don't you think the herd is a little full already?" Blitz whispers.

Twilight raises an eyebrow. "You don't seem to mind with Ahsoka."

"We can talk about this later." Blitz says as Zecora starts getting over her shell shock.

Zecora quickly shakes her head. "Only way to make us stop with our life…is to speak of our own turf."

"Ok, I tell you what come with me and I will tell you something you won't believe and if it's true, you will believe anything I say and not tell them what I tell you?" Blitz asks.

Zecora raises an eyebrow and leans forward.

"Over there in sight of everypony, but far enough to where they won't eavesdrop." Blitz says glaring at a few under his helmet.

"Don't do it Zecora. It's a trap." Another said raising his spear more.

"Please, if I meant harm, you would already be dead." Blitz says with full seriousness that made Pinkamena have a flash of deja vu.

Zecora slowly follows him a bit away as they kept their spears pointed at Twilight as she inspects them. "You have the tie done wrong. This one is chipped and will fall apart on the next blow and this one's spear is bending too much." She said pointing to each.

"Ok. Twilight, my wife, is in fact a changeling pony hybrid and a queen at that. You and I both know Chrysalis wouldn't have need of such a thing, much less have a rival like that." Blitz whispers to her.

Zecora frowns. "Tell me something pony and I would understand more. What's the one thing I thought about most of the time when you are around?"

"That, I am unsure. I have a hard time reading you most of the time. Now, will you fulfill your end if what I say is true?" Blitz asks.

Zecora raises an eyebrow and holds up the open bottle and Blitz quickly looks to see Twilight having some on her wing. "I will." She said putting it away.

Blitz nods and sits as she starts to put more on Twilight and she glows a green and white at the same time in parts.

Seeing this, all of them back off. "What does it mean?" Pinkie asks.

Zecora smiles. "It means they are friends." She said before waving at them to follow and they step behind her.

"Twilight, you may begin explaining." Blitz says following.

Twilight sighs. "I should have a recording of this." She said before stating to explain their situation.

They soon reach the camp and Blitz stops. Twilight looks back at him. "What?"

Blitz removes his helmet and takes a deep whiff. "I smell a changeling." Blitz says.

Twilight holds up a hoof, but puts it down. "I'm not even going to question that."

"You shouldn't, considering what you are." Blitz says walking past, Zecora following closely.

Twilight raises an eyebrow. "So…what do you smell tracker?"

"That one." Blitz points to a filly and dawns his helmet once more.

Twilight sighs and walks up to the filly as she turns to Twilight and smiles before shrinking away at her sight. Twilight raises an eyebrow and puts a hoof on the filly's head before her eyes glow green. 'Ten years.' Chrysalis said going through the memories.

After taking her hoof off the changeling, Blitz walks up, looking menacing. "Now show your true form or I will remove your exoskeleton by dissection." Blitz threatens, using the force to amplify his menacing presence.

The filly gulps as it changes back.

Every one of the villagers were shocked they had a changeling in their camp. "This one means they know your exact location. You cut his connection to the queen to give her a surprise, right?" Blitz asks.

Twilight smiles as she looks to the changeling again as it bows to them both in fear. "You are still king."

"Yes, now let's get ready to welcome the rest, shall we?" Blitz asks before turning to the changeling. "You, hide in one of the huts." Blitz orders.

The changeling nods and quickly scurries off.

"Zecora, should we do something about the changeling in the village?" Pinkie asks.

Zecora shakes her head and shocks them as she kept watching. Soon they heard a shrill shriek.

"Help us!" They heard as some rapid hoofsteps were coming their way and soon Rainbow and Rarity came out of the jungle looking ragged.

Twilight frowns as the newcomers pleaded with the village. "You smell it too huh?" She asks as Chrysalis really woke up in her head.

"You have to help us, the changelings attacked Ponyville. We barely made it out with our lives." Rainbow says as Applejack caught up, looking the same shape.

Blitz, seeing this, walks up to Rainbow.

Rainbow blinks as she leans away a bit. "Um…help…not uncomfortably close."

Blitz then slugs Rainbow to the ground. "PATHETIC! YOU ARE A DISGRACE TO THE CHANGELING DISGUISE AND IMPERSONATING WAY!" Blitz roars in anger.

'Rainbow' groans as she gets up and has a bloody nose. "Wha…why…?"

"You know why? Don't you queen." Blitz says leveling a glare on Applejack before kicking Rainbow away.

'Applejack' seems to smirk as she walks up calmly. "Well…at least this one isn't an idiot." She said before receiving a punch to the face and sends her flying to hit a tree.

"You best recognize and respect a king of your own kind next time." Blitz says.

'Applejack' slowly gets up and looks at him in shock. "Ki…King?"

"Yes, do you challenge my authority?" Blitz asks.

'Rarity' hisses and launches herself at him, only to get some blades through her as Twilight appeared behind him. "Um…I could have turned them."

"This way is easier. As you know, challenging a recognized changeling king is not done lightly. Does any of the rest of your hive wish to challenge me now? Because I am ready to kill." Blitz says turning to 'Applejack'.

'Applejack' groans as she gets up. "There can't be a king. No way, no how."

"Oh, is that a challenge?" Blitz asks walking forward unsheathing his claws.

'Applejack' actually starts to shiver in fear as Blitz neared closer. "No, absolutely not. I am not challenging the authority of a changeling king."

"That is what I thought you said." Blitz says sheathing his claws.

Twilight walks up as Blitz heads back. "Submit control." She said looking at 'Applejack'.

"Never, I might not challenge a king, but I will not be relinquishing my hive." 'Applejack' says getting up.

"You get up now." Blitz says to the disguised Rainbow.

Twilight frowned before sighing. "I wish it wouldn't have to come to this." She said before closing her eyes. 'You all better stop!' Chrysalis yells from Twilight.

"Now first, stop humiliating the changelings and drop the disguise." Blitz says as most of the changelings in the area start walking up defeated.

'Rainbow' looks up to him fearfully before changing back.

"Now first, what has happened to the pony you disguised yourself as?" Blitz asks, a claw drawn once more.

The changeling chitters fearfully as the blade runs along its neck. "H…hive."

"I see, now tell me what is planned for her and the other two you came disguised as in?" Blitz asks neutrally.

The changeling chitters fearfully as Blitz brings up one of the claw blades up and starts sharpening it on a nearby rock. "Bre…Bre…" He tries to say.

"Breeding?" Blitz asks.

The changeling quickly nods.

"Has the process started yet?" Blitz asks.

The changeling quick shakes his head.

"Good, you're answering my questions truthfully." Blitz says before slicing the rock into pieces.

The changeling jumps at that.

"Now, next question, do you know what happens when a mate or one marked as his future mate is stolen from a king of the changelings?" Blitz asks.

The changeling gulps and shakes his head.

"Oh and it is even worse than challenging their authority. Now tell me, do you know how one becomes a king of the changelings?" Blitz asks.

The changeling shakes his head.

"Well first, one must be a great warrior." Blitz starts. "Then they must establish dominance and that usually means killing all that would oppose him, even a queen and must rule over the changelings with absolute authority, awe, and or fear so their rule will never be challenged again." Blitz finishes as he checks his flamethrower as it discharges some fire.

The changeling shivered in fear as Blitz got close to him again. "Now you understand where I am going with this?" Blitz asks nicely.

The changeling quickly nods, scared out of his mind.

"I expect to see them soon. Or I will start with you." Blitz whispers the last part to the changeling as his fear is felt by the rest of the hive. None of them aware of what the last two statements were, but they knew his words spread terror amongst this member of the hive the likes of which none of them had ever felt personally.

The changeling quickly runs off as Twilight was still standing in front of 'Applejack'. 'Oh just change already. This whole operation is blown.' Chrysalis sent and 'Applejack' slowly changes into Chrysalis. Twilight opens her eyes and stares long and hard at her. "We gave you chances, but this whole time, me and Chrysalis has been breaking all of the changelings' connection to the hive and making them ours. You are losing with every link gone. And the whole time we have been talking, we have broken twenty more. Twenty-one." She corrects herself.

The Chrysalis outside glares at her. "I'm Chrysalis! I'm the queen!"

Twilight raises an eyebrow. 'Oh shut up you hatchling. Always buzzing around like a little one trying to fly and smashing into everything on the egg room walls.' Chrysalis outside hears from Twilight, even though she didn't move her mouth.

"How…?" Chrysalis tries to ask, hearing her voice being called through the area.

Twilight sighs. "My version was dying so she passed her last remaining hive onto me, full of almost everything every queen has."

'Even the sex!' Chrysalis said happily.

Twilight rolls her eyes. "Yes, that too. Minus the changing part, I built the hive up again, this time consensually. It worked and now they are full-fledged citizens. I was able to unite the changeling race and make them all accepted now. They respect me there and all the respect, brings the power. I am an alicorn and I can kill easily. Every changeling that even tickles my mind would fall into fear once they see it. I am Twilight Sparkle, princess of Equestria, diplomat of my planet, queen of the changelings, wife of Blitzkrieg, the king of changelings, and have Chrysalis inside my mind to help run the show and she isn't happy right now. So if you want to go against me, you have to deal with him and my new recruits for the hive." She said as the changelings around them seem to have fear in their eyes as the village was in shock that these two new ponies just took down a whole army just by being there and a few words. "Now then, submit control." She said glaring slightly.

Chrysalis glares back, but a mind attack from Twilight's Chrysalis sent her reeling back. "O…okay." Chrysalis said finally.

Twilight sighs as she felt the many minds brushing up against hers. "Finally. Time to stand down." She said before walking to Blitz. "How are we doing?"

"How long will we be staying this time?" Blitz asks.

Twilight waves it off. "Until most of the ponies captured comes back. At least this one is faster and better."

"Then I am going to whip these changelings into shape in the meanwhile." Blitz says making a few eep.

Twilight smiles a bit. "Please do. These guys are leaner and have less muscle than ours."

Blitz smirks as he advances on the changelings.


"So have a good nap?" Blitz asks as Applejack, Rarity, and Rainbow were released from the pods they were stored in.

Rainbow groans as she rubs her head. "What the heck…? Did I get drugged or something?"

"No, you were captured by changelings and being stored until they were ready to use you in breeding." Blitz says relaxing in a chair as his armor was sitting not far away.

Rarity stops and blushes. "Bre…breeding?"

"They impregnate you and you give birth to the changeling eggs." Blitz says.

Applejack gulps. "That's…that's…"

"Not happening anymore right?" Blitz asks looking to the two cowering guard changelings guarding the door. The changelings nod quickly. "In my opinion, it's better than food. Which…come to think of it, are all ponies you capture stored in the same pods as your food until they are ready be used for something different?" Blitz asks.

The changeling gulps. "Yes." They both said.

"Hum and if memory serves, staying long enough in those pods turns you into a hybrid to full changeling if I recall correctly." Blitz says.

The changelings nod quickly again.

The mares seeing this go wide eyed. "WHAT!?"

"Hum…let me see." Blitz says getting up and walks over to them and starts inspecting them.

Applejack raises an eyebrow as he moves her head around. "Um…Blitzy?"

"Ah, so you remember me Jacky." Blitz says moving onto inspecting Rarity.

Rarity blushes as Blitz checks her closely. "Um…so…"

"Uh huh." Blitz says before moving onto Rainbow.

Rainbow frowns a bit. "Well? Tell me so I can rip it off."

"Well how many moon cycles were they in their pods?" Blitz asks.

"A month." Came the meek reply.

"I see. Then I am right, you three have already been turn into partial changelings." Blitz says.

Rainbow glares at him. "Tell me what part so I can take it out."

"It's more internal." Blitz says. 'And you've started forming the mental links with the hive, but only the most powerful can talk to you.' Blitz thinks.

Rainbow groans. "Which part?!"

"Vital organs are what changes first and you should feel your sex drive kicking up a few notches like most changeling females coming of age." Blitz says.

Rainbow stops and blushes hard.

"Let me guess, it's starting to hit, right?" Blitz asks.

Both Rarity and Applejack slowly nods as Rainbow remained blushing.

"Well it could be far worse. If you were fully turned, by the time you would snap out of it, you would be broodmothers." Blitz says motioning for the guards to leave.

Applejack gulps and raises a hoof. "Um…"

"Yes Jackie?" Blitz asks.

Applejack suddenly hugs him. "It's great to see you again."

"Thanks, though I bet not how you pictured it right?" Blitz asks petting her before putting her hat back onto her.

Applejack smiles. "Yeah, but what's with the chair?" She asks still hugging him tightly as she grinds against him slightly.

"I wanted to be comfortable. Say what you will, but changelings can build comfortable furniture." Blitz says petting her.

Applejack sighs as she relaxes against him. "That feels good."

"So…um…what are you waiting for?" Rainbow asks.

"Oh, for the effects of your sex drive to fully kick in." Blitz says.

They all blush hard as Applejack gulps. "Um…Blitzy…"

"It's either me or the soldier changelings and to save you from becoming broodmothers, had to claim you as my own." Blitz says.

They all blush harder and gulp. "Um…so…" Applejack tries to say as the heat inside her rises.

"You three still virgins?" Blitz asks.

They all nod nervously.

'Then I'll be gentle with you.' Blitz thinks really fanning the flames of their heat.

They really become shocked at that. "How…?" Applejack asks.

"You are part changelings now and I am the king of changeling's and just conquered Chrysalis's hive." Blitz says before kissing Applejack's cheek.

Applejack eeps and freezes.

Seeing this, the other two mares started advancing on Blitz.

Applejack gulps and starts grinding against him again. "Blitz…?"

"You can't take it any longer?" Blitz asks.

Applejack nods quickly as she leans against him.

"Then let's begin." Blitz says.


"So they enjoy it?" Twilight asks.

"Yes, they did and are resting." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs. "Too bad you can't stay."

"Now that I have bred with them, without us, they are the highest ranking members. I left a letter explaining everything." Blitz says.

Twilight looks to the large hive cave as most of the villagers start moving in. "You ever thought this would happen?"

"It was a possibility. Now take three with trying to get back to normal." Blitz says.

Twilight nods. "You ready to go back again?"

"Yes." Blitz says.


"Sonva…" Blitz cursed loudly.

Twilight slams her head on the table as they lost again.

"This time it was our own fault making a show out of it as we battled." Blitz says using his claws to cut a tree down.

Twilight groans. "Want some angry sex after this is over?"

"Ironically, Rainbow in the first one did that with me already." Blitz says using his flamethrower on some timberwolves. "Interesting in that one, she's a screamer."

Twilight groans out loud and shoots a magic beam at another timberwolf. "We don't have time for you!"

"How many crystals do we have before we have to get resupplied?" Blitz asks.

Twilight looks to her bag. "About ten more."

Blitz sighs before noticing something. "Hello, what is that?" Blitz asks seeing the moon.

Twilight looks up and sees a mare in the moon marking. "What the…even if we didn't stop her, there is supposed to be none of that."

"Hum and judging by the plant life, it has evolved to live in the night." Blitz says.

Twilight raises an eyebrow at the plants around them. "Wow, but…no…there is another problem. I'm sure you know as you traveled around space."

"How did it change so quickly to nighttime plants only?" Blitz asks.

Twilight shrugs as she keeps looking around. "Blitz, keeping the planet like this is a big problem. You know it."

"The planet is still moving or we wouldn't have gravity. The moon is most likely blocking the sun when it should be day." Blitz says.

Twilight nods. "And the planet would freeze."

"Lulu?" Blitz asks.

Twilight stops before looking to see a path on way. "We got a spot to go to. Let's hope it's another villain we defeated."

"Twi, I just thought of something." Blitz says following.

Twilight looks back at him. "What is it?"

"Does the Everfree seem to be bigger than all the other times or is the map changing locations?" Blitz asks.

Twilight looks at the forest height. "Strange, this isn't usually like that. Maybe it was to protect the plants here." She said before bumping into something hard and looks up to see an intricate black armor in front of her. "Oh boy."

"You find something?" Blitz asks.

Twilight looks up to a very blank face staring down at her. "We got bat ponies."

"One moment." Blitz says before force choking the pony.

Twilight quickly looks back to him. "Um…not a great start."

"He was about to attack you and now." Blitz says throwing him through some trees.

Twilight sighs. "Well…this universe is Nightmare Moon. Wait…I just thought of something."

"Maybe we will meet up with Shadow and my granddaughter?" Blitz asks.

Twilight shrugs. "Maybe. Maybe not. And that's if she remembers the history of her family. Would be funny if you spank her."

"I will find a paddle if she disrespects me." Blitz says as the castle comes into view.

Twilight looks back at him. "Would you do that to our foals?"

"Oh not unless they really deserved it I love them too much." Blitz says.

Twilight raises an eyebrow.

Blitz smiles. "I'll only do it on the foals if they misbehave badly." He said raising a hoof. "Mandalorian honor."

"Oh, who are you kidding, they just have to stare up at you with quivering lips and you cave." Twilight says smiling.

"You're right of course, but not for Lulu." Blitz says.

Twilight smirks. "But you cave for Terra."

"Terra is my daughter in law, it is not my place to punish her." Blitz says.

Twilight rolls her eyes. "Uh huh." She said as they walked across the bridge. "Do you still miss her?" She asks after a while.

"I miss all of…hello Shadow Runner." Blitz says.

The new armored pony reels back a little.

"Not bad, but I know how you sneak." Blitz says smirking.

The armored pony takes off the helmet and shadow with an almost buzz cut on her mane stood there. "I wonder; did she have time for a foal?" Twilight asks.

"I doubt it." Blitz says.

Shadow frowns at them and points a spear at them as more ponies come out with weapons posted at them too.

"Please." Blitz says before force choking all but her and tossing them around like ragdolls. "Now sexy, if I can do that, why didn't I do that to you?" Blitz says pushing away the spear and walking up to her.

Shadow doesn't say anything as she kept glaring at him, but backs up a bit.

"Take us to Luna, we have something to discuss with her." Blitz says not letting her get far.

Shadow frowns as she growls silently.

"Oh, then maybe I will tell your men what fetishes you have." Blitz whispers to her freezing her in place.

Twilight snickers as she watches. "List all of them to her." She suggested.

"Your first and favorite one is bondage done to you." Blitz whispers to her making her pale.

Shadow gulps as Twilight keeps snickering. "Keep going. We never get this chance."

"I will unless she agrees now." Blitz says smirking under his helmet.

Shadow keeps glaring at him as she keeps backing up into the castle wall.

"Oh, then let's go with the most humiliating one. You like to…" Blitz was stopped when Shadow put her hooves over his helmet where his mouth was.

Twilight groans playfully. "Aw, wanted to embarrassed her more."

"I give, come on." Shadow says putting back on her helmet to hide her now scarlet face.

Blitz snickers to himself as they follow her inside. "They aren't dead, are they?" Twilight asks seeing the bodies on the ground.

"No, only unconscious. If I wanted them dead, I would have snapped their necks." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs in relief. "Good. They are still ponies here."

"Odds of her leading us into a trap? I bet an absolute certainty." Blitz says.

Twilight hums. "Highly. Very much."

"Oh hey, it's Rarity." Blitz says.

Twilight looks to see Rarity in a less armored Nightguard outfit. "Rarity…? Um…" Twilight tries to say anything.

"Keep up Twi." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs and hurries to catch up to Blitz and Shadow. "I wonder what happened to everypony else."

"So those wings of yours still sensitive to the touch?" Blitz asks Shadow.

Shadow eeps and hurries up and runs ahead a bit.

Twilight giggles seeing this as they follow till they come to the throne room.

"So where's queeny?" Twilight asks jokingly.

Shadow turns to Twilight and stares in shock.

Twilight smiles as lightning strikes. "Just wanted her to get out here."

"She was on the throne Twi." Blitz says.

Twilight raises an eyebrow as Nightmare Moon appears on the throne. "Blitz, she's all yours. I got the state of their weapons." She said looking around at the guards having their weapons almost pointed at them.

"Oh, by the way, that one is Rainbow Twi." Blitz says pointing Rainbow out.

Twilight smiles as Rainbow takes her helmet off and waves. "Hi, you're wing armor is off by a few inches and making your wings pinch together."

"Ok, first, let's shed some light in here." Blitz says before clapping his hooves and all the candles lit themselves.

Nightmare blinks and glares angrily as she leans forward.

"When did we install so many candles?" Shadow asks.

"I needed the atmosphere for some potential stallions." Nightmare said.

"Boy, it must be really inconvenient for you when ponies applaud you." Blitz jokes.

Nightmare glares at him. "Who are you to speak to me like that?"

"Tsk, tsk, granddaughter of Hurricane." Blitz says as Shadow tries clapping her hooves and the candles go out.

Nightmare raises an eyebrow. "Hurricane."

"Commander Hurricane." Blitz says clapping his hooves again and the candles reignite themselves.

Nightmare gets up and slowly walks to him. "And who are to talk about my family in such a way."

"Because, I am your grandfather so show some respect." Blitz orders sending out a bit of his force energy influenced by the dark side.

Nightmare steps back a bit. "What are you doing?"

"Addressing my granddaughter, who I am about to discipline at this rate." Blitz says summoning a paddle.

Nightmare blinks at that. "What is that for?"

"To paddle you." Blitz says.

Nightmare frowns. "I am not some foal that I would easily…

"…OW!" Nightmare yells high pitched as she was the size of a foal as she was bended over Blitz's lap.

"Are you going to behave granddaughter or do I need to continue?" Blitz asks holding up the paddle.

"Never OW!" Nightmare yells as Twilight reads form a history book as those present could only watch with their mouths ajar.

"It says here that she sent Celestia to the moon. I would have thought she sent her to the sun so she doesn't have to see her." Twilight said.

"Have you learnt your lesson Lulu?" Blitz asks.

"YESSSS!" Nightmare yells as she cries.

Blitz puts the paddle away and holds his granddaughter in his hooves till she stopped crying.

Twilight smiles as she closes the book. "Ask her to release her sister."

"Be patient Twilight." Blitz says rocking Lulu.

Twilight sighs as Nightmare cries into his coat. "Strange though. Even without knowing much, she still treats you as family."

"Better, little Lulu?" Blitz asks removing his helmet.

Nightmare sniffs and looks up to him with crying eyes. "Why?" She cries.

"I discipline because I love you granddaughter." Blitz says nuzzling her making her giggle.

Twilight smiles as she walks up to them and hugs them both. "She's still your granddaughter, even though you have never been here."

"Ok. Lulu, come with me. Your grandfather will explain everything to you." Blitz says petting her mane.

Nightmare nods and hums as Blitz carried her off as Twilight sits near the chair and takes out the history book again. "Oh, there's one on griffons."


"So time travel is how you met grandmother? That explains how you are so young." Nightmare says.

Blitz nods as he looks around her room. "That is correct. You got your grandmother's brains I see." blitz says.

Nightmare smiles and blushes a bit. "Thank you."

"Now Lulu, you probably figured out already I can't be from your time as you would have sense some pony traveling back in time correct?" Blitz asks.

Nightmare nods. "Dark magic."

"Runs in the family I see." Blitz says letting the dark side influence his eyes to demonstrate.

Nightmare gasps. "Grandfather…"

Blitz then banishes the dark side from his eyes and raspberries her stomach.

Nightmare giggles as she tries to hold him back. "Grandpa." She laughs.

"So can you figure out how it is possible Lulu?" Blitz asks stopping.

Nightmare shakes her head. "Not really."

"Ok, I will explain because it is confusing. You see, a pony who we angered wanted revenge and decided the best way to do that was to go back and change something in the past that was very significant. Thereby stopping it from happening." Blitz says.

Nightmare stares at him as she listens. "So…how many times did you go back to fix it?"

"Counting this, three attempts. She is good though…Lulu, tell me, in your reign, did you ever come across something that can turn a pony into an alicorn or give them your lifespan?" Blitz asks.

Nightmare shakes her head. "Not really. Never thought about it."

"Consider this, if I can use this spell to go back in time and give Hurricane something like that, then?" Blitz asks.

Nightmare gasps. "Grandmother would still be around?!" Nightmare exclaims.

"Yes, so you think you can help?" Blitz asks.

Nightmare fiddles with her hooves. "I can try."

"That is all I can ask for little Lulu." Blitz says before kissing her nose.

Nightmare giggles and hugs his snout. "I love you grandpa."

"I love you too little Lulu. You know something interesting?" Blitz asks.

Nightmare tilts her head. "What is it?"

"I saw three of the mares in my herd in your employ, can you guess who they are?" Blitz asks.

Nightmare shakes her head. "Not really."

"Come on, guess." Blitz says scratching her behind the ears.

Nightmare smiles as she leans into his scratching. "The one you call Rainbow."

"That's one, can you guess the other two?" Blitz asks.

Nightmare hums cutely as she adopts a thinking pose. "The mare that turn the candles back on?"

"You don't know the name of your captain of the guard?" Blitz asks.

"Captain? She is my right hoof." Nightmares says.

"Oh, then can you tell me her name?" Blitz asks.

Nightmare hums as she thinks with her tongue sticking out.

"Sha." Blitz sounds out as a hint.

Nightmare gasps. "Shadow! That's her name!"

"Good girl, now if you guess the third, I will go get your chef to make you a moon cake." Blitz says.

Nightmare gasps and adopts her thinking pose again.

'Even if you can't, I will still do that.' Blitz thinks.

Nightmare hums before looking nice to him with her tongue still sticking out. "I don't know." She said muffled by her tongue.

"Rarity, the one who does your tapestry and clothes. Now it is mooncake time." Blitz says before picking her up.

Nightmare cheers as she rides in his hooves. "Yay!"


Twilight sighs as she had spent three days here. "The queen wishes to see you now." Shadow says.

Twilight sighs as she puts the books away. "Okay, let's go." She said following her.

Nightmare was standing in her lab, having just finished something when in walked Shadow and Twilight. "I see you have come."

Twilight smiles. "It's nice to see you too granddaughter."

"Shadow, you mind going and checking up on our other guest?" Nightmare asks.

Shadow nods and walks off.

"Odds she will be fucked by Blitzy?" Twilight whispers to her.

Nightmare looks to her. "Possibly high as grandfather is quite cranky at times."

"So what you working on?" Twilight asks.

Nightmare smiles. "Something for grandfather."

"Tell your grandmother little Lulu." Twilight says.

Nightmare sighs and groans slightly. "Something for grandmother."

"For me?" Twilight asks.

Nightmare shakes her head. "No, for other grandmother."

"Which one?" Twilight asks showing a list of names.

"The one that my father was born from." Nightmare growls a bit.

Twilight raises an eyebrow. "Lulu." She warns.

"What?" Nightmare asks.

Twilight points to her. "Anger."

"Fine." Nightmare says getting back to work.

Twilight smiles. "You're a good mare Lulu."

"Will you help or not?" Nightmare asks not appreciating the teasing.

Twilight chuckles. "Sure. Move over." She said starting to help her.


Shadow pushes her hooves together as she is held by Blitz while he rested a little. "Um…"

"You enjoy that?" Blitz asks.

Shadow gulps. "A bit."

"Only a bit?" Blitz asks petting her wings.

Shadow moans and leans back into him. "Yes."

"Oh, then maybe this time I should not just plow your flank but your second set of lips." Blitz whispers into her ear.

Shadow moans and leans her head back. "Just do it already."

"Very well." Blitz says before entering her.

Shadow moans heavily as Blitz lifted her up in his lap. "Bl…Blitz."

"Yes commander?" Blitz asks dropping her.

Shadow smacks her lips together and moans. "Who was I?"

"My wife, look at your subordinate over there and the mare who fixes the tapestry on the other side." Blitz says.

Shadow moans as she was dropped again and looks at the mares in the hall who were trying not to look in their direction, but their ear twitches once in a while. "What about…them?" She asks with a moan.

"Oh they know what you are going through. As Lulu sent them to me days apart." Blitz whispers into her ear.

Shadow groans out loud as she leans back onto him. "So…I'm…last?"

"And you get the longest of them." Blitz whispers into her ear.

Shadow lazily blinks as she tries to keep awake. "Wh…why me?"

"Because you had to wait the longest." Blitz says before Shadow screamed out in pleasure and fell asleep.

Blitz smiles and lifts her up off of him before putting her on the bed they gave him and covers her up. "Sweet dreams my mare." He whispered in her ear which twitches.

When Shadow awoke, she found she couldn't move and she was gagged. "Hmm huhmm?!" She asks muffled.

"Oh, awake are you Shadow dear? I hope you enjoy this? After all, this is part of your favorite fetish." Blitz says doing something she could not see.

Shadow tries to move her head and groans again to him.

"Oh, are you ready for the next round already?" Blitz asks rubbing her wings.

Shadow moans and tries to look at him.

"Now time to experience what you love my mare." Blitz says.


"I think we figured it out." Lulu says.

Twilight nods and holds out her hooves on the edge of the table before they hear a scream and the whole table shakes and she catches a jar shaking itself off. "Your grandfather can make anypony scream."

"Sounds like Shadow. Glad I told my guards to ignore the screams." Nightmare says.

"So you are sure this will turn a pony into a alicorn?" Twilight asks.

Nightmare sighs. "Only way to know is to try it out. But you may change more than necessary. Be careful."

"I hope this works and Hurricane will be with us. For the past few years, your grandfather has hidden away sadness and despair from all of us. We noticed, but could never figure out why until he told us about Hurricane." Twilight says.

Nightmare smiles. "I hope you will be happy then. But I fear of what may happen with the timeline."

"Yes, I am just glad you don't want to use it yourself." Twilight says.

"I admit the idea crossed my mind, but then I thought what if doing so makes my grandparents never meet and as such, father never born." Nightmare says.

Twilight smiles and hugs her. "Like I said, a great mare Lulu."

"Like grandfather said, I have my grandmother's brains." Nightmare says.

Twilight sighs. "Listen, I think it's time to change things up. Get your sister out of the moon."

"Even if I did now, it wouldn't matter. The moment you go back in time, this timeline ceases to exist." Nightmare says.

Twilight smirks. "Alternate universe theory."

"I don't believe so, but I will tell you, what if after you leave, we are still here, I will free her and look after my uncles and aunts that will be born." Nightmare says.

Twilight nods. "Good. But you have to get all of us together again because some of us is scattered. Come to think of think, I have never seen myself in any of these universes."

"Maybe it is for the best if you two were to meet, who knows what could happen." Nightmare says.

Twilight nods. "Try not too hard. He would be shy in the beginning."

"If what you told me is true, grandfather isn't even on this planet." Nightmare says.

Twilight nods. "It's not until the me here has become an alicorn. You may have to speed some of the lessons and problems with the help of your sister."

"I'm keeping the crown." Nightmare says.

Twilight raises an eyebrow.

"I had this personally fitted for me. I am not giving it up or my comfy chair." Nightmare says making Twilight snort and giggle.

"Yeah, it's a very comfy chair." Blitz said walking in.

"So how was Shadow?" Twilight asks.

"In pure bliss and most likely pregnant." Blitz says.

Nightmare sighs. "I'll make sure she has her foal."

"You will be their role model Lulu." Blitz says hugging her.

Twilight snorts and giggles. "Though it would be funny if Shadow met this universe's Blitz and told him that I have already have your foal."

"Not the same thing Twi and our universe no longer exists and until we correct it, it will never exist." Blitz reminds.

Twilight rolls her eyes. "Let me have my fun."

"I could take you to Rainbow and Rarity before we leave and have some fun." Blitz says.

Twilight smiles. "I already did before we left. I remember you being particularly rough on me. Kinda talked about teasing me about letting the changeling guards in and having them watch."

"You have changeling guards?" Nightmare asks.

"King of them." Blitz clarifies.

Twilight smirks. "Queen."

"How many did you kill?" Nightmare asks.

"Without firing a shot." Blitz says.

Nightmare blinks surprised.

"Take care Lulu." Blitz says leaving with Twilight who took the potion with her.

Twilight looks sadly to Blitz. "Are you going to be okay to do this?"

"It is worth a shot." Blitz says before walking quietly to the map without another word.

Twilight wraps a wing around him and pulls him close. "It's okay." She said as they make it to the map and pulls out a crystal.

"Take four." Blitz says.


"And that's another try. How good is she?" Blitz asks as they drop onto the map.

"There is Discord chasing your granddaughters." Twilight says.

"Moving on." Blitz says annoyed.

Twilight groans as she brings out another crystal as all three look over and Blitz gives an I'm watching you look.


"How did you hit Rainbow?" Blitz asks before looking over at the sight of Terek blowing everything up. "This world is gone." He said and Twilight already sent them on their way.


"And this place smells of capitalism." Blitz said as he looks and sees Flim and Flam farming the trees directly. "Prepare another. Hey Flim, Flam! What are you going to do when everything runs out?! Where's the bits going to come in then?!" Blitz shouts to them as they look over and looks back to the last tree in the field they are about to cut and then looks to the empty field as Blitz and Twilight disappeared.


"Twi, how many do we have left?" Blitz asks as she blocked Starlight's shot.

Twilight grunts as she keeps blocking. "Two more."

"And she sho…you're coming with us this time!" Blitz says using the force to throw her into the portal as they get sucked in.


"Welcome to what you created. The only floors here are a desolate wasteland with bad shrubbery and tumbleweeds for some reason." Blitz said relaxing in a chair as he looks at a tumbleweed tumbling by him as Starlight looks out to the wasteland. "Twilight, please give a lecture about our best guess of what happens when you fuck with history especially the huge event like an explosion of magical power that is seen at least by all of a country." Blitz says.

Twilight started lecturing Starlight and lets her know all of this, the death all those who were never born we're her fault, making her one of the world's most notorious murders.

Blitz sighs as he tries to relax with his hooves up on the table. 'Oh Twi. Lost the sense of using friendship anymore huh?'

"No, no, friendship could have caused all of this." Starlight denied.

"It's not about that anymore. You fool. You are so smart, but you can't fucking understand every action has consequences. I don't know what series of events lead up to this, but I do know there is a greater plan at work and by changing any of it you bring disaster upon all. Equestria is gone now." Blitz says angrily.

Twilight raises an eyebrow as she looks around. "That kinda begs the question, what universe is this?"

"It isn't a universe Twi. It is a different timeline created because somepony's ego was bruised. That is all about, your ego was hurt when you were proven wrong and your lies came undone. That is the true reason you did this, no matter what you say." Blitz accuses.

Starlight levels a glare at him. "You don't know my history so how can you say that?"

"Try me. You think you are the only one who has a hard life. Oh bo ho you. You are not the only one in existence who has suffered and every day someone suffers worse that you. I could literally kill you for what you have done. You murdered my foals." Blitz says slipping further into the dark side.

Starlight tries to hold a glare at him, but it was now faltering. "Blitz." Twilight calls.

Blitz takes a deep breath. "Try me, let us see what made you this way." Blitz challenged.

Starlight's glare was brought back and she fires a spell at the map, opening up another portal before they were all sucked through it.


"Okay, so where are we now?" Blitz asks landing on a patch of grass this time and not the table before looking to Twilight. "And don't correct me in saying when please."

"It is when." Starlight said walking up to a house.

"Remember, I can still kill you." Blitz reminds.

Starlight frowns as they all peek inside a window and sees two foals messing around with some books and turning it into a stack.

"That's you huh…you know, it occurs to me if I kill your foal self, this will never have happened." Blitz says making Starlight sweet.

"And all you done will be unfolded as this would have never have happened." Starlight warns.

"So you best make me care enough to not take that chance because the option is now on the table, remember that." Blitz warns.

Twilight bumps Blitz's side and motions for Starlight to continue.

"Sunburst and I did everything together. In fact, I don't remember us ever being apart until today." Starlight says before they watched as starlight got his cutie mark.

"Sunburst. That rings a bell for some reason." Blitz says thinking. "Oh yeah, I have a captain named Sunburst in the fleet." Blitz says.

Starlight huffs. "Please, it's a somewhat common name and I doubt it would be him."

"Ok, the name of this town is Mayweather and his birthday is March 18th." Blitz says.

Twilight hits his side. "Shut up and let her talk for once."

"How did you know that?" Starlight asks.

"Personal file. Everyone has one in the military. Comes with keeping track of records and stuff for organization." Blitz answers.

Twilight facehooves. "Great. I'm going off to the side." She said walking away a bit.

"Stay." Blitz says pulling her back. "So all of this because you fell out of contact?"

"Yes!" Starlight yells.

"Alright, use the spell again take us to the night pirates attacked Manehattan and the royal guards burnt the city to try and stop them." Blitz says.

A portal quickly opens above them and pulls them away and drops them off in an alleyway.

"Why are we here?" Starlight asks as Blitz watches the orphanage as the city burned in the distance around the port. Soon a hooded figure walked out of an alleyway and looks around. The figure then quickly moved to the orphanage and laid a bundle on the doorstep and seemed to whisper something to it before running off.

"Go check the bundle." Blitz says taking off his helmet when the figure was out of sight.

Starlight ended up confused and moves to it and slowly moves the bundle a bit aside to see a foal. "So…it's a foal." Starlight asks.

Blitz only looked at her before she looks back and forth between it and him.

Twilight walks up to him. "I'm sure you can do the math."

"You don't mean this is you." Starlight said in disbelief.

Blitz says nothing and goes up to the door and knocks hard before the three got out of sight.

They get into the alleyway as the door opens and a clothed mare comes out and looks around before looking down and gasping before picking up young Blitz and carries him inside.

Blitz and the two walk away. "I was abandoned at birth by my mother as my father had died." Blitz says.

Starlight stares at him as the portal opens up again and they end up at a city. As they sat on the cloud, Blitz showed her the night his step parents died and his abduction by aliens.

"You think your life was hard now?" Blitz asks.

Starlight just stares as the ship leave the planet.

"They stuffed me in a container from there and I was to be merchandise. It was only by luck that the mandalorians raided the ship and found me. From there, all I learnt how to do for the rest of my childhood was to be a warrior and fight." Blitz says putting his helmet back on as the portal opened.

Blitz stood silent, watching the race as Twilight started talking to Starlight, explaining that friendship isn't something that can be lost so easily. Though the lives you may take different paths, the bonds you forged will never truly disappear. They will always be in the heart. Or something like as Blitz only half listened and watches the young Rainbow fly past and eventually make the Sonic Rainboom.

Blitz smiled as his one day to be wife looked incredibly pleased and the rainboom was seen across the country. Then the portal opened up and the three were drawn into it.
