“RRRAAAAAAAAARRR!”

Horseback Archer was out of Tartarus and free to roam all of Equestria now.

“Watch Tower,” he said, “I thank you for making my escape from Tartarus possible.”

“Any time, sir,” answered Watch Tower. “Any time you wish.”

“Now, where are those good-for-nothing goody-four-horseshoes of ponies?!” demanded Horseback.

“They’re all gone, sir,” lamented Watch.

“WHAT?!” shouted Horseback. “How could you let that happen?!”

“I was merely following your orders, sir,” explained Watch. “You wanted me to free you from Tartarus by turning time back. I had to make ten thousand years become undone, which is how long ago you’d been banished to Tartarus since you released me.”

“HORSEBACK ARCHER! WATCH TOWER!” shouted Queen Sideria in a booming voice that echoed throughout Equestria.

“UH-OH!” shouted Watch Tower and Horseback Archer simultaneously; they were about to get their just desserts.

Author's Note

This is the second-to-last chapter. In the 18th and final chapter, Equestria will be annihilated. Furthermore, I promise to include a legal disclaimer in the author’s note for that chapter.
