Sunset and the group emerged, they arrived at Fluttershy’s post only for a Rainbow blur to rush at Sunset. Sunset caught her with both hands slowing her approach to standstill “Nice try Rainbow but I’m faster.”

Rainbow was crying “I missed you so much, why did you have to leave along for so long?”

Sunset looked away distantly “There’s no sugarcoating this Rainbow, I died one thousand years ago. There is supposed to be no coming back from that. I had hoped to free you all back then but I know now that I have more than enough power to break the barrier.”

Rainbow growled “So you thought you could throw us all away, like we trash.”

Sunset‘s voice became incredibly distorted as darkness began to flood from her eyes like a waterfall “i Am nOT LIke Most, i aM a moNster!”
Luna wrapped her daughter in a hug “It’s alright my setting sun, we’re all friends here.”

Rainbow sighed “I’m sorry, I just wanted to know why you left.”

Fluttershy smiled “Sister, we all understand.” she then glared at Twilight who hid behind Sunset in response (Even if we have to put up with Genocidal Maniacs!)

Sunset frowned (We will discuss that later, speaking of which.) Sunset pulled out the reset button and drew her sword. She swung a mighty swing cutting the command in half and passed it to Fluttershy with a smile (Now we command the timeline together.)

Fluttershy began to tear up as she gave Sunset a hug (Thank you.)

Rainbow blinked “What happened?”

Luna frowned “I have a feeling they will explain it at the right time.”

Sunset nodded “I will head to Canterlot with Sunshine to speak to Celestia. Fluttershy, I will need you to bring Moondancer to Canterlot Castle. Mum could you go with Rainbow to get Captain Spitfire, she will listen to the two of you I’m sure.”

Luna nodded “Very well, it will take us a long time to gather everypony individually.”

Fluttershy smiled “I believe Moondancer is tinkering away with her machines at this hour. I’ll head to her place, she disappeared as reality bent around her.”

Rainbow grinned “Spitfire is in the Water Plains, come on.” Rainbow burst into the sky rapidly with Luna soon joining her with a smile.”

Sunset nodded “I think it’s time to meet with Celestia.”

Sunshine smiled “I agree but you should call her Auntie, cousin.” Twilight remained silent as Sunset clicked her fingers and all three of them appeared in the streets of the capitol.

Ponies eyes widened before they cheered “Sunset’s back!”

Sunset sighed “Of course they would cheer, I saved them all from some bad ponies” she shook her head “Ignore them, I must meet with Cel… Auntie.”

Sunshine smiled “I can’t wait to see mum again.” Twilight was silent the whole time, the guard bowed and let them into the castle.

Celestia turned around and launched an attack at them only for Sunset to catch it before crushing it in her hand “I guess you weren’t expecting us so soon.”

Celestia’s voice boomed “Sunshine!” She wrapped her daughter in a hug as tears flowed down he face, Sunshine simply comforted her mother.

Twilight finally got the guts to speak to Sunset alone “I’m sorry for everything that happened in the previous timeline.”

Sunset frowned “Apologies don’t undo the past. You decided to kill everyone because you wanted to know what would have happened if you did, that’s not something easy to forgive. I have put your actions aside because it is something to be discussed when everyone is here.”

Just at that moment Luna teleported in with Rainbow and Spitfire while Fluttershy teleported in with Moondancer. Moondancer frowned “Why did you bring me here?”

Luna smiled "My daughter, Sunset has returned” she then frowned “Although I fear they have some news that we may not all like..” Sunset nodded, two hours later she had explained the whole story.

Celestia frowned “This sounds far-fetched, the ability to control a timeline like that.”

Moondancer frowned as she looked over some of the notes that Fluttershy had provided her over the last two hours “These anomalies lead to the fact that she is correct, there is no other explanation for these readings.”

Rainbow blinked “I’m just going to accept this, I never got this science stuff. “ she then sighed “Fluttershy always handled nay research the two of us needed to do.”

Spitfire frowned “Why should I believe this human can break the barrier?”

Sunset growled at her “How about I show you then!” she then stormed off towards the barrier. Luna glared at Spitfire before galloping after her daughter. Everyone else in the room followed the two, soon they were all standing in front of the barrier.

Celestia frowned “I can get the human souls, the will be able to…” Sunset hit the barrier with a single punch. It exploded in a flash of magical energy as soon as the punch connected.

Spitfire grinned “Okay that was awesome!”

Rainbow grinned “Of course it was, Sunset is awesome.”

Soon they all exited, Celestia and Luna’s horns glowed as they reconnected to their astral bodies. Sunset smiled as she hugged them both “I’m happy to be here in person this time.”

Sunset frowned “Well first port of call, I’m taking Twilight home. I want to give us some time to construct a proper settlement on the surface before we have to face anything else.”

Sunset grabbed Twilight and teleported in front of Twilight’s home. She walked up and knocked onto the door. A light grey woman opened the door with a light greyish azure man beside her, their faces weary with worry. Sunset frowned “I have located your daughter, she has been through a lot recently and for her sake please don’t ask what happened to her.”

Sunset then walked away with a frown leaving the two stunned parents, as soon as she was out of their sight lines she made she was alone and then dissapeared in a flash of red light. Sunset smiled as she returned to the exit “Now let’s go and find a place where we can build a city.”

Celestia frowned “What should I do with the six souls?’

Sunset frowned “Give them to the one who earned them for you.” Celestia's horn glowed as the six souls were pulled out of the underground and flew toward Fluttershy who’s body shifted as she transformed she was now as tall as Celestia with a horn atop her head.

She focused onto the area in front of them and the whole of the underground towns save the castle appeared in a series of plains near the mountain. Luna blinked “Well that certainly saves a lot of time.”

Sunset frowned at everyone with her “We need to reassure everypony that they are safe as well as get the Sirens and any other stragglers out of the underground.” The group regaining their composure nodded and then headed to the city below.
