From near the statue portal leading to Equestria, Princess Twilight wanted to sit and wait for Sunset to arrive as she was anxious to meet Silverbolt and think what she was going to say when she would meet up with him. But she wasn’t thinking about what else Sunset said about how they got their powers. Then again, they never demonstrated that to them before. But she remembered that she and Dragon Spike traveled with the rest of their friends, and all of them were going to have a meltdown for when they arrived.

“Girls, please calm down.” said Princess Twilight as she tried to reassure them.

But the said girls were too occupied with what happened. Pony Fluttershy sat on the ground whimpering and curled herself into a ball, pony Rainbow was struggling to stand as she tried to keep her balance, with pony Applejack having just as much trouble, pony Rarity was also having trouble, but thanks to dragon Spike, who remembered how they walked, helped Rarity walk normally, which she was able to master hands down. Pony Pinkie on the other hand wasn’t having trouble, as she moved with ease as if it were nothing.

“How the hay can we calm down when we’ve turned into…these?!” exclaimed Rainbow.

“I don’t like this.” muttered Fluttershy.

“Trust me girls,” reassured Twilight “I was just as scared when I first started, but I soon got used to it.”

“Easy for ya’ll to say,” said pony Applejack struggling to stand “Ah don’t know how anyone can get used to walking on two hooves.”

“They’re called feet.” said Spike after he was done helping Rarity.

They suddenly heard the sound of a car horn, which caused the rest of the Mane 5 to jump in fright. When they and Princess Twilight looked, they saw Sunset pulling over.

“What kind of wagon is that?” said pony Rarity when she saw the strange looking contraption.

Sunset climbed out and waved to her whilst shouting “Twilight!”

She ran over to the Princess, with Princess Twilight running over to her and gave one another a big hug.

“Oh, it’s so good to see you again.” said Princess Twilight before they broke the hug.

“Good to see you too.” said Sunset. But then she looked behind her and were surprised to see the pony versions of her friends. “And I see you brought them over.”

“I did.” said Twilight.

“Considering what happened last time,” said dragon Spike “They didn’t want to leave her side this time.”

“Understandable.” said Sunset. She looked at them, struggling to come over to her as she said “I assume that they panicked.”

“They did.” said Twilight “It’s gonna take them a while after they get used to them.”

“I’m sure they will.” said Sunset, then she walked over to them and said “Hey there. My name’s Sunset Shimmer. Pleasure to meet all of you.”

“Pleasure to meet ya Sunset.” said pony Applejack.

“That’s right.” said pony Pinkie Pie.

“Um,” said pony Fluttershy and said “I don’t know if I’m comfortable with this.”

“Don’t worry,” said Sunset “You’ll get used to it. Just takes some practice.”

Sunset looked at Princess Twilight and said “So how are things back in Equestria?”

“Doing fine,” said Princess Twilight “We had a few hiccups along the way, but we managed.”

“What kind of hiccup?” asked a curious Sunset.

“Well,” said pony Pinkie as she said in one breath “Twilight wanted to teach friendship to other races, so she decided to open a school, unfortunately the head of the EEA, Chancellor Neighsay was being a big meanie and closed the school whilst insulting the leaders of the other nations and nearly started a war, then during that time things went great until the magic from all over Equestria suddenly got drained, and whilst we went to Tirek, the meanie centaur we beat before, thinking that he was responsible, until we found out that one of our students, a pony Pegasus named Cozy Glow, was faking to be part of our friendship school the whole time so that she could take all the magic, banish to the ether with Starlight trapped in it. But whilst we were away, the meanie Neighsay came back, thinking that our students from different nations, who happen to be a pony, a dragon, a yak, a griffon, a changeling and a hippogriff, were the ones responsible without any proof or evidence, and when they were freed and tried to stop her, she tricked the other students to try to stop us, but thanks to the tree of harmony, they were freed and restored magic back to Equestria, allowing us to come back and help our students stop her, which turned out she thinks that friendship is power and she thinks by making more friends she’ll gain more power, but she didn’t care about any of that, so she got sent to Tartarus with Tirek and Neighsay finally being able to see the error of his ways, so now we got to run the school without any baddie interference.”

Pony Pinkie made a squee sound with a big smile on her face. Sunset widened her eyes in shock and said “Wow. That kind of a hiccup.”

“Trust me,” said pony Rainbow Dash “It’s a lot bad than you think.”

“But aside from that, I’m glad we were able to set things right.” said pony Rarity.

“So, whilst we were trying to take a break,” said pony Fluttershy “We heard from Granny Smith about Silverbolt and what he did for Equestria before he disappeared.”

“And we heard from Twilight that Silverbolt was here the whole time.” said pony Applejack.

“He sure has.” said Sunset “He’s been here since the 1900’s.”

The others were confused by this, with Sunset saying “In other words, he arrived about nearly a 120 years ago.”

They were surprised to hear how long he was in this world.

“If he’s been here for that long,” said dragon Spike “What’s he been doing all this time?”

“Let me drive you there,” said Sunset “I’ll tell along the way.”

They followed Sunset to her car.

“So, how’s Starlight doing?” asked Sunset “I haven’t seen her since she last visited us.”

“Well, she’s doing fine,” said Princess Twilight “After the whole ordeal she went through, she decided to take a break and visit her friend Sunburst. They planned a trip a while back to go to Silver Shoals.”

“That’s good to hear,” said Sunset “From what you told me, she deserved a break.”

They soon arrived at the car, which the girls got curious over.

“Ah’ve never seen a contraption like that before.” said pony Applejack.

“How does this even work?” said pony Rarity.

“Climb on in and find out,” said Sunset “But uh” it’s going to be a tight squeeze.”

They soon climbed in. Sure, they were somewhat uncomfortable, but they were able to get settled and drove off.

“So, where’d you get this car?” asked Princess Twilight.

“Silverbolt gave me this,” said Sunset “He has a ton of them.”

“How many does he have?” asked Princess Twilight.

“A lot.” said Sunset “When he lived here, he took some treasures with him and invested in plenty of companies that survived to this day, even newer once every decade.”

“So, he’s rich or something?” asked pony Rainbow Dash.

“He sure is.” said Sunset as she turned left.

“How much does he have?” asked pony Rarity.

“I think in bits, it’s about…” said Sunset as she remembered his total currency “6,500,400,385,632.28”

The girls” jaws dropped at the mention of how much money he has.

“He even traveled the world to learn more new things. He knows how to fight, how to fix, he’s even responsible for making some of the Equestrian artifacts. He even created the Elements of Harmony.”

“WHAT?!!” shouted the Mane 5 and Spike.

“Wow,” said Princess Twilight as she got more excited “The more I hear about him, the more I really wanna meet him.”

“Trust me,” said Sunset “He’s the king of awesomeness.”

Pony Rainbow scoffed and said “I’ll believe that when I see it.”

Sunset couldn’t help but blush as she said “Plus…he asked me to stay at his place.”

Princess Twilight and the others looked at her surprised, with Princess Twilight saying “Really?”

“That’s right,” said Sunset as she continued driving down the road “He said that he has plenty of rooms that he isn’t using, and I’d have my own privacy and my own mode of transportation. And that if I wanted, I could stay there for as long as I like rent free.”

Now they were really surprised. “Oh my,” said pony Rarity as she fanned herself “He truly is amazing.”

“Wait till you guys meet him first.” said Sunset.

***************************************************************************************************

Soon enough, Rainbow and Silverbolt came back and were able to set up the WI-FI from certain parts of the house, allowing them to have a stronger connection in case there wasn’t any cellphone signals.

Soon as they came back to the foyer, Rainbow said “Alright, I got half of them set up.”

“Same here.” said Silverbolt “Now we can have some decent quality internet without any problems.”

They saw the rest of the girls there, with Silverbolt amazed by the cleanliness of the place.

“Wow.” said Silverbolt with a big smile on his face “You girls really did an amazing job. This place looks brand new.”

“No problem at all.” said Rarity with pride.

“There’s always nothing better than a little elbow grease to help spruce up the place.” said Applejack.

“And as Big Mac said, nothing starts the day off like a little bit of hard work.” said Silverbolt.

They were once again surprised by what he said, with Silverbolt saying “When I first came to school, I bumped into him. He can be chatty when he wants to be.”

They chuckled at that, with Applejack saying “That’s Big Mac alright.”

He looked around and noticed someone wasn’t here. “Hey, where’s Sunset?”

“She went to go pick up Princess Twilight and her friends by the portal.” said human Twilight.

“Wow, she is?” said Silverbolt.

“Yep, she helped us out a lot.” said Rainbow Dash “Trust me, you’ll like her.”

“I’ll take your word for it.” said Silverbolt. “So, whilst we wait, you girls can make yourself at home, I’ll be in the music room. Gotta finishes this one song.”

Silverbolt went to the music room. But when he said they should make themselves at home, they already made their choice.

“I’m going to the game room.” said Rainbow.

“I’m going to the kitchen.” said Pinkie Pie.

“I’m going to the animal sanctuary.” said Fluttershy.

“I’m going to the fashion room.” said Rarity.

“I’m going to the greenhouse.” said Applejack.

“I’m going to the library.” said Twilight.

Within a split second, they darted separately faster than a speeding bullet.

***************************************************************************************************

Shortly a while later, Sunset stopped by the gate and used her keycard to enter. The moment the gate opened; Sunset drove on through. They soon made their way towards the front of the house. Sunset was the first to climb out, with the Mane 6 and Spike following suit. When they took a good look at the house, they were quite surprised by how big it was.

“Whoa,” said pony Rainbow “This is where he lives?”

“Yep,” confirmed Sunset “It’s a pretty big house, isn’t it?”

“It’s a bit too big if you ask me.” said pony Applejack.

“Darling, how could you say that?” said pony Rarity “This place is truly astounding.”

“He really must be quite the stallion to have such a big house, cars and money.” said Princess Twilight.

“No kidding,” said dragon Spike “He’d have to be smarter than over twelve business ponies to make it this big.”

“He’s also a cool person when it comes to friends.” said Sunset.

She approached the door and began to open it, but then she realized something, and looked at the Mane 5.

“Uh, why don’t you girls wait out here for a bit,” said Sunset “We’ll signal you to come in so that you could come in.”

“Trust me,” said Princess Twilight “My other was a bit surprised to see me the last time I was there.”

“Okey, dokey.” said pony Pinkie Pie as they waited outside.

Both Sunset, Princess Twilight and dragon Spike entered the house, with Princess Twilight and dragon Spike looking around in amazement. Sunset however, noticed that the others weren’t in the foyer.

“Hello?!!” called out Sunset.

When all of a sudden, with a pink blur appearing.

“Twilight!!” exclaimed Pinkie Pie when she appeared and saw Princess Twilight and gave her a big breath stopping hug, whilst saying “We missed you so much!!”

“Pinkie.” muttered the Princess “Too…tight.”

“Oopsie.” said Pinkie as she let her go. “Sorry about that.”

The rest had arrived just in time to see Princess Twilight, causing the said girls to give her a hug too.

“Howdy Twi,” said Applejack with a hug “It’s good to see ya again.”

“It’s definitely been a while.” said Princess Twilight.

“I’ll say.” said dragon Spike as Fluttershy picked him up and hugged him. He looked at his doggy counterpart and said “Nice to finally meet you face to face.”

“Same here.” said Spike as he wagged his tail.

“It’s so good to see you, Twilight.” said Fluttershy.

“Yeah, you should really try to pop over more often.” said Rainbow Dash.

“I’ll try to keep that in mind.” said Twilight before she giggled.

Soon Twilight came and hugged her pony counterpart, with the latter returning it. “It’s good to see you again. Haven’t seen one another since Spring Break.”

“Right,” said Princess Twilight “I hope things are well.”

“They are.” said Twilight sheepishly. Then said “It’s still weird seeing another me.”

“And it’s about to get weirder.” said Spike as he let out a loud whistle. “You can come in now!!”

Pretty soon, the Mane 5 entered the building as they were amazed. However, the moment they looked ahead, all of them were stunned to see who was before them. Even the rest of the Rainbooms were surprised to see them. They slowly walked towards one another as Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rarity and Rainbow Dash stood face to face with their pony counterparts, both staring at one another in awe.

“Whoa,” said Rainbow “This takes freaky to a whole new level.”

“Tell me about it.” said pony Rainbow as she looked at her. “But I gotta admit, even in another world were awesome.”

“Heck yeah we are.” said Rainbow as the two fist bumped, making some roll their eyes.

Now it was both Fluttershy and her counterpart’s turn. Both of them shyly looked at one another.

“Hi, um…I’m Fluttershy.” said Fluttershy.

“Um, nice to meet you too.” said pony Fluttershy “My name’s also Fluttershy.”

As the two of them began to talk in their own manner (That I won’t get into), both Rarity and Pony Rarity looked at one another, admiring what the other was wearing.

“Oh, my darling,” said pony Rarity “I simply love the design of your dress.”

“Why thank you darling,” said Rarity “And your hair is simply divine.”

Both Applejack and her pony counterpart looked at one another.

“Wow,” said Applejack “Never thought in mah entire lifetime ah’d meet a different me from a different world.”

“Same here.” said pony Applejack “Nice to meet ya Sugarcube.”

And now for the biggest interaction of all, Pinkie Pie and pony Pinkie Pie.

Both of them rapidly shook hands as they said “Hello my name is Pinkie Pie, what a coincidence, my name’s also Pinkie Pie. So, what’s your favorite cupcake, what flavor, what ice cream do you want, what kind of soda pop you want, or…”

Both Rainbow and pony Rainbow clasped their friends” mouths shut the moment the talking went too far.

Sunset couldn’t help but chuckle and said “Some things never change.”

“Couldn’t agree more.” said Princess Twilight before she giggled. Then she remembered something and said “Oh, by the way, where’s Silverbolt.”

“Before we get to that Twilight,” said Sunset “There’s something we need to tell you.”

So, Sunset explained to Princess Twilight and the rest of the Mane 6 about their geodes and demonstrated their power to them, much to the rest’s surprise, even to what Silverbolt had guessed what their abilities might be and of how they could improve on their own.

After that, the Mane 6 were surprised.

“Whoa,” said pony Rainbow as she had a hard time grasping things “You guys are awesome.”

“And ya’ll saying that there crystals yer wearing is what gave ya’ll ya powers.” said pony Applejack.

“But where did that magic come from?” asked Princess Twilight.

“Silverbolt explained to us,” said Sunset as she started “After Midnight Sparkle blew the top part of the statue whilst it was deactivated. But now that the magic is back, the crack allowed the Equestrian Magic to leak through.”

The Mane 6 had concerned looks about this, with Princess Twilight saying “This is bad.”

“What is Twilight?” asked Fluttershy.

“This world isn’t Equestria,” said Princess Twilight “What would happen if all of you came across something dangerous? This world would suffer if that were to happen.”

“Twilight, you remembered when we faced the Dazzlings, right?” said Applejack.

“Yeah?”

“We didn’t give up when they knocked us down. Sunset may have taken the microphone with that extra help we used the power of the Elements of Harmony to help defeat them.”

Princess Twilight smiled and said “Yeah, you’re right. It was tough, but we did.”

“And don’t worry,” said Sunset whilst reassuring the Princess “No matter what, we’ll always have each other and we’ll always help one another out. And when something happens, we’ll be there together.”

“Heck yeah!!” said Rainbow as she and the rest of the girls agreed, with Princess Twilight relieved to hear this.

Sunset then said “And don’t worry, Silverbolt said that the mirror would only open once a month instead of thirty moons. We still have three weeks before that happens, so we’ll find a way in the end.”

Princess Twilight was a little surprised by this and said “How does he know about the portal.”

“Oh,” said Pinkie Pie as she said “Because Silverbolt was the one who created it.”

The Mane 6 gawked at that in shock, with Twilight standing up in shock and exclaimed “What?!”

“Not just that,” said Pinkie as she further dropped the bomb “He also created the memory stone and the Time Twirler.”

Twilight was again shocked, with Sunset saying “It’s like this...”

(One complicated recap later.)

“And that’s what he’s told us so far.” said Sunset.

Princess Twilight and the rest of the Mane 6 were shocked once more, with Princess Twilight saying “So not only are you telling me, that he created not just the portal between here and Equestria, but also the Memory stone to help reform criminals and the Time Twirler to help stop an assassination attempt on the two Princesses, as well as the fact that magic used to exist in this world but died out a hundred years ago?!”

“Well duh,” said pony Pinkie Pie “Weren’t you even listening?”

Pony Rainbow, who was also just as shocked, stood up and said “Where the heck was, he when we faced bad guys like that?!!”

Princess Twilight on the other hand, nearly began to squeal in excitement. “Where is he, I gotta meet him.”

“Well,” said Twilight “He said he was going to the music room to finish a few songs.”

“Then what are we waiting for, let’s go.” said Princess Twilight in excitement.

“Slow down Twi,” said pony Applejack “Remember to go in calm and rational.”

“Oh, right.” said Princess Twilight sheepishly.

They headed straight for the music room. But whilst they were on their way, they looked around and were surprised of the many things Silverbolt has in his house.

“Whoa,” said pony Rainbow Dash “Sweet pad.”

“Trust me,” said Rainbow Dash to her counterpart “He has a ton of awesome rooms.”

They soon made their way to the music room and from there they saw many instruments, albums and hit songs, which the Mane 6 were impressed.

“So how many musicians does he know?” asked pony Rarity.

“Quite a lot,” said Rarity to her counterpart “He met many famous musicians and he helped them reach their potential to where they needed to be. He writes many songs, but he kept his true identity a secret.”

But as they entered, they heard music playing. When they watched from the recording room, they saw Silverbolt, playing his guitar, playing a beautiful song.

The Mane 6 and dragon Spike were amazed to hear how his voice sounds, with the Rainbooms couldn’t help but smile and love how he sings.

“Wow,” said pony Applejack “He’s amazing.”

“His voice is truly divine.” said pony Rarity as she fanned herself.

“And what a voice,” said pony Fluttershy.

“It’s Soo, good, almost as good as my special MMMMM’s.” said pony Pinkie Pie.

“He’s incredible.” said Princess Twilight.

“I’ll say.” said Dragon Spike.

“Eh, he’s okay.” said pony Rainbow Dash.

However, what happened next took them by surprise. Silverbolt prepared another song, but this time, it was hard and loud, something that an old friend of his sang before he died.

Now all of them were amazed to hear him sing, they’ve never heard anything like it.

“Okay, now that, is cool.” said pony Rainbow Dash as she changed her opinion.

After he was done recording, Silverbolt stepped outside whilst wiping his sweat with a towel as he said “I heard you girls, do we have guests?”

When he removed that towel, he was at first surprised when he saw that there were two of the six out of seven Rainbooms. However, he could feel their auras, indicating that they were from Equestria. Though the rest of the Mane 6 were surprised to see him in person, Princess Twilight on the other hand felt like she was going to explode.

“Oh hey, you must be Princess Twilight and her friends.” said Silverbolt whilst walking over “Nice to meet…”

Princess Twilight instantly zipped over and shook his hand. “Hi, I’m…I’m Twilight Sparkle.”

He noticed the way she was shaking his hand in a fan girl manner, which made him chuckle and said “So I noticed.”

He held her hand and said “So try to take a deep breath, before we start talking, okay?”

“Oh,” said Twilight before she blushed and giggled in embarrassment. “Sorry about that.”

“It’s okay.” said Silverbolt “Didn’t know you were a fan of me. You act like I was AK Yearling.”

“Not more than Rainbow Dash,” said pony Pinkie Pie “You should’ve seen her geek out when she first met her.”

“I was not!!” exclaimed pony Rainbow Dash.

He took a good look at the others and said “And I assume that all of you are Princess Twilight’s friends from Equestria?”

“That we are.” said pony Applejack.

“Pleasure to meet all of you.” said Silverbolt as he walked over.

He first gave pony Rarity a kiss on the hand like a gentleman, he gave pony Rainbow a fist bump, he gave pony Fluttershy a quick kiss on the forehead, making her blush, whilst pony Pinkie Pie gave Silverbolt a tight hug.

“Okay, greetings aside,” said Rainbow Dash “I know it’s really great to meet our counterparts and all, but isn’t everyone going to get confused if they meet any of us here?”

“But at least I can tell the difference between the lot of you.” said Silverbolt.

“You can?” said both the Rainbooms and the Mane 6.

“Yeah, the outfits for one.” said Silverbolt.

They looked at one another’s outfits, and they realized that he was right. For the outfits were different. The outfit that Princess Twilight is wearing is the same one she wore since she came to help them when Sunset was evil and when the Dazzlings came along. But the rest of the Mane 5. Their outfits were familiar to the Rainbooms.

“Now that ya’ll mention it,” said Applejack as she rubbed the back of her forehead “Ah haven’t worn that outfit since we helped sort things out with Juniper a while back.”

“That’s right,” said Silverbolt “Plus I could also see your auras.”

Princess Twilight perked up and smiled with glee and said “You can do that?”

“That’s right.” said Silverbolt “I developed a spell a while back that could help me heighten my senses through smell, hearing and instincts. But more importantly I could also see auras. Like the auras from the Rainbooms from the human world, and the auras from their Equestrian Counterparts.”

“That, is, amazing.” said Princess Twilight.

Silverbolt then noticed pony Fluttershy was having trouble moving.

“You okay there?” he asked.

“Oh, sorry.” said pony Fluttershy in an embarrassing tone “It’s just…I’m not used to walking around like this. It feels so weird ever since we crossed the portal.”

“Well, that’s the power of Concealment gateways.” said Silverbolt.

Everyone looked at him puzzled and said “Concealment gateways?”

“It’s like this.” said Silverbolt as he explained “There are two kinds of gateways in the world; Normal Gateways and Concealment Gateways.”

He created two types of holograms that show them, which took Princess Twilight by surprise as she watched in fascination.

“Normal Gateways,” said Silverbolt as he showed them the simulation to the left “Are like any kind of gateways. If you have a special kind of medallion, you can use it to travel to different parts of the world, same with other worlds if they’re the same as yours.”

The others nodded, understanding it.

“Concealment Gateways,” said Silverbolt as he showed them the simulation to the right “Allows you to turn yourself into the dominant species of the world in order to protect the World Order. But the downsize of it is say; if you’re a Unicorn, Pegasi, Alicorn, etcetera, then your magic will be dampened in order to not cast any suspicions, thus removing your ability to fly and use magic. But depending on the kind of gateway, it uses specific magic. Since this is pony magic, if ponies were to cross over, then they would turn into humans, whilst every other creature that goes through there like say, a Dragon, they would turn into any other animal.”

Princess Twilight’s eyes widened in surprise, even the others, as she said “So that’s why Spike turned into a dog.”

Silverbolt quirked an eyebrow, and said “Let me guess, dragon?”

“That’s right.” said Princess Twilight.

“Ah, okay then.”

“Wait a minute,” said Pinkie Pie as she was suspicious of something “If ponies come here and turn into humans when they cross the mirror portal, why the heck did the Dazzlings turn human, shouldn’t they have turned into fish people or something?”

“I was getting to that,” said Silverbolt “But…if any other creature opened their portal using say, Dragon magic and so on, then the Dragons would turn into humans whilst the others turn into different animals. Same goes for the other creatures in their kingdoms. From what I can guess, the portal that Starswirl used to open came from Siren Magic, and from which I can gather, that village where Stygian lived used to be Siren territory before they moved centuries ago.”

The others were surprised by this whilst Princess Twilight was fascinated by this, with Pinkie saying “Wow, that makes complete sense.”

“It still feels strange,” said pony Fluttershy “Being turned into humans.”

“Don’t worry,” said Silverbolt “You’ll get used to it. It took me a while to get used to it when I first got here.”

“Same here.” said Sunset.

“And me.” said Princess Twilight.

Princess Twilight turned to Silverbolt and said “It’s amazing. You have such a great wealth of information.”

“I keep an open mind.” said Silverbolt “I’m also responsible for creating few other artifacts beside the mirror portal.”

“So, Sunset told us.” said dragon Spike as he walked next to Silverbolt.

Silverbolt explained. “I once granted the Pillars the power to create the Tree of Harmony, but there were plenty of elements out there, just not in physical form. Heck, even Equestrian Spike represents an element.”

Dragon Spike was shocked by this and said “I do?”

“Yep.” said Silverbolt “Your power is acceptance.”

Spike was a bit puzzled by this, with him saying “When you want to speak up or reach out to others, you help them accept their flaws, accept themselves, heck, you were even able to help others accept dragons and changelings for who and what they are. And even though they have poor reputations, that didn’t stop you from helping them. Because you accepted them.”

Silverbolt then stood on his knee and looked directly at Dragon Spike “You even accepted yourself. You wanted to be like someone else, but everyone sometimes fails who they are supposed to be. But the true measure of any creature, is how well they succeed into being who they are. And it doesn’t come from some gem or worthy deed.”

He slowly pointed at his heart, saying “But from in here.”

Dragon Spike looked at his chest, then to Silverbolt, who was giving a gentle smile, to which dragon Spike returned. Princess Twilight was greatly surprised by the wisdom he gave her Spike, even the rest of the Mane 6 were surprised. He got up and looked at the others.

“But I assume you wish to know more.” said Silverbolt.

“We do.” said Princess Twilight. Then she asked “What was Gusty like, seeing that you lived in the same time as she did.”

Silverbolt was surprised and chuckled a bit. “What’s not to tell?” he said “When we were young, she was a little anti-social, and I was the only one whom she socialized with. It wasn’t until I encouraged her to go out and make friends. She did and realized how important it was. Though sometimes she can be a bit overconfident, cocky, heck, even too much of a bookworm, worry wart and many other things.”

He smiled and looked at her and said “In fact. She was a lot like you when she first started out.”

Princess Twilight was surprised and smiled with glee, that Gusty was like her back in the day.

“You wouldn’t happen to have any cooler artifacts now, do you?” asked Pony Pinkie Pie.

“Sure do, follow me.” said Silverbolt “Let me show you my own version of Pinkie’s party planning cave.”

Pony Pinkie gasped and said “How did you know?”

“Sorry, my secret.” said Silverbolt with a wink.

He guided the Rainbooms, Mane 6 and the two Spikes to where he took them, with Silverbolt asking “So did Sunset tell you about some of the artifacts.”

“She did,” said Princess Twilight “I can’t believe you created the Memory Stone and the Time Twirler. But, why did you make them?”

Silverbolt looked at her with a flexed eyebrow, with Sunset gaining his attention as she said “I felt it would be better if you explained it to her.”

Silverbolt smiled and nodded at that, for he’d be glad to tell them.

“See, long ago,” said Silverbolt as he explained to both Princess Twilight and the rest of the Mane 6 “I had this idea to create the Memory stone. I had a bit of a soft spot for the criminals that kept being locked up. And obviously I wanted to help them reform. But a ton of them were too stubborn to ask for help or change their ways…”

“Like Chrysalis, Tirek and Cozy Glow?” asked Princess Twilight.

“That’s right,” said Silverbolt. Though he was confused about somepony named Cozy Glow, he did know the other two well. “There would be a fifty/fifty chance that they would lie and stab them in the back, and the population wasn’t going to accept them. So, I created the memory stone, a way to erase memories and alter them to be different. Like a rehabilitation program if you will.”

Twilight was surprised as she wanted to take notes, until Silverbolt interrupted her and pointed at the floating empty journal and quill writing things down, saving her the trouble, which she smiled and appreciated whilst he continued to explain.

“After I made the stone,” said Silverbolt “I designed for a few specifics. For one thing, I realized that most memories would be too stubborn to get rid of. So, the magic of the stone would build itself up for three days. And in the end, it would erase them completely.”

“Fascinating.” said Princess Twilight. “But what about if that very individual had caused certain events to happen. From what Sunset explained during the Friendship Games, Rainbow saved her life, but when her memories were altered, she continued on.”

“The stone also has the power to change certain events,” said Silverbolt “Kind of like changing the story a bit in your favor, whilst also ensuring that it’s played out like you wanted.”

The Mane 6 understood that, with pony Rarity asking “So you wanted to erase the criminals” minds so that they could have a fresh start and live normal lives?”

“That was the original plan, yeah.”

“Oh, man,” said pony Rainbow “Where the heck were you? If you had been around, we totally could’ve used it against Tirek and Chrysalis long ago. Even Discord.”

“Won’t work,” said Silverbolt, surprising the Mane 6, with him looking at them and said “Trust me, I tried.”

“But from what Twilight told me,” said Dragon Spike “Another pony stole it and tried to use it on Clover the Clever?”

“That’s right.” said Silverbolt “She was one of my students named Charm Spell. She excelled in her pursuit of knowledge, but she got jealous of Clover, despite being better than him already and he still had a lot to learn.”

“Did she use the stone on you too?” asked pony Fluttershy.

“Not really,” said Silverbolt “When I first created the artifacts, I wasn’t stupid enough to let them use it against me, so I added a ton of failsafe spells in each and every one of my artifacts. Whenever they want to use them on me, it has no effect.”

“Now that’s smart.” said pony Applejack.

“Agreed.” said Silverbolt “Clover and I chased Charm Spell down and we eventually cornered her.”

“Did you kick her butt?!” said pony Rainbow Dash in excitement.

“Eh…no.” said Silverbolt, much to pony Rainbow’s disappointment. “I told him to do something unexpected.”

“What did you tell him?” asked pony Rarity.

“I told him to kiss her and have sex with her.” said Silverbolt.

The Mane 6 looked at him in shock, as Princess Twilight would say “Why the heck did you tell him to do that.”

“I have my reasons,” said Silverbolt “Anyway, Clover thought what I suggested was crazy, but he didn’t question me. If I had given him such an order, than it had to be for a reason.”

“He could’ve just said no.,” said Princess Twilight.

Silverbolt looked at her with a smirk and said “Says the pony who didn’t want to make friends, especially that you actually disobeyed an order.”

“I didn’t…,” said Princess Twilight.

“Actually Twilight, you did.” said dragon Spike “Remember when we were invited to Moon Dancer’s party, you said “I don’t need friends, what good are they anyway”, along with “The fate of Equestria does not rely on me making friends”. Sounds familiar?”

Princess Twilight blushed in embarrassment as she did remember those, but nearly panicked when she actually realized that she disobeyed Princess Celestia and she didn’t even know it.

“So, what did Clover do?” asked pony Pinkie Pie.

“He kissed and had sex with her.” said Silverbolt, who then looked at them with a smirk and said “And did you know what happened next?”

The Mane 6 nodded no, with Silverbolt saying “They both got married and had a couple of foals a year later.”

They were taken aback by that, with Rarity squealing in excitement whilst Silverbolt said “Shortly after that, the two of them opened the School of Magic.”

“What?!!” said Princess Twilight as she looked at him in shock “They were the ones who founded the School of Magic?!”

“That’s right.” said Silverbolt before they went to a different hall. He looked at Princess Twilight and said “See, unlike your sister in law, who happens to spoon feed love with hints and everything, I take a more direct approach. I noticed the way they were looking at one another. If she had really loved the guy, she should’ve said something.”

“So, um,” said pony Fluttershy as she wanted to change the subject “The Memory Stone we understand, but what about the Time Twirler?”

“I used it to stop an assassination attempt on both Princess Celestia and Princess Luna’s lives.”

The Mane 6 was taken aback by shock from this information.

“What happened?” said Princess Twilight in shock.

“See, shortly after Celestia and Luna took the thrones,” said Silverbolt as he guided them “There were many ponies who weren’t satisfied and didn’t like their rule, mainly the Unicorns who didn’t like other ponies because they thought they were better than anyone else.”

Silverbolt looked at pony Rarity and Sunset, considering the two of them are Unicorns, and Princess Twilight being a former Unicorn “No offense.”

“None taken.” said Sunset.

“Anyway,” continued Silverbolt “They nearly succeeded, but I was able to use the Time Twirler to reverse time and save them. After about fourteen tries, I was able to stop them and save the Princesses” lives. But I realized that it would be too dangerous to keep it around. So, I chose to hide it in the Community Park where no one would find it.”

“So, how’d that there band called Post Crush get it?” asked pony Applejack.

“From what Fluttershy, the Rainboom Fluttershy, told me” said Silverbolt “The Community Park got shut down because of a lack of tourists ever since a new park opened up. So now it’s a ground where they open their own concerts for bands and festivities.”

“And you said you taught Post Crush?” asked Princess Twilight.

“Taught them everything they needed to know, and they’re the most stubborn bunch.”

“Trust me, they are.” said Sunset, with Pinkie Pie nodding in tow.

“Supernova Zap could see reason,” said Silverbolt “But Kiwi Lollipop. She’s a perfectionist freak.”

He looked at the Princess and said “But to quote a line from a movie, “The thing about perfection, is that it’s unknowable. It’s impossible but also, right in front of us all the time”.”

“Oooh,” said Pinkie Pie “Direct quote line from Tron Legacy.”

“Right on the nose.” said Silverbolt.

They soon made their way to the library, with Princess Twilight widening her eyes and smiled with glee.

“Somepony pinch me.” said the Princess.

Until she actually felt a pinch, making her yelp as she jumped, then looked at pony Pinkie Pie.

“What?” said pony Pinkie Pie “You said to pinch you.”

“She’s kinda got you there.” said dragon Spike before he chuckled.

They followed Silverbolt and saw that he was looking for a type of book.

“Now, which book is it.” said Silverbolt. He then noticed a specific book and said “Ah, here we go.”

He reached for a book called “Recipes for Asparagus and Olives”, which the others were weirded out about at first. But the moment he pulled it whilst tilting it, the book suddenly clicked, causing the entire shelf to shake and slowly began to open itself, taking them by surprise.

“Oooh,” said Pinkie Pie “A secret entrance.”

“Now that’s clever.” said Pony Pinkie Pie.

“But uh,” said Rainbow Dash confused “Why the heck did you have to put it on a recipe book for Asparagus and Olives?”

“What she said.” said pony Rainbow Dash.

“For one, it’s the least place anyone else would look.” said Silverbolt “Also, nobody likes Asparagus and Olives.”

“That’s…” said Sunset whilst pondering, then said with a small smile “I don’t know what to say about that.”

“Seemed like a good idea at the time.” Said Silverbolt.

She then suddenly heard his thoughts whilst he said “Damn, whenever she smiles it’s like seeing cute little sugarplums.”

Sunset couldn’t help but blush at that, causing her to rub her arm with a secret smile.

“Follow me.” said Silverbolt as he guided them down the stairs.

They walked down the stairs and saw many lanterns automatically lit themselves up whilst they were walking. They soon made their way to a large stone like door, with Silverbolt taking out what appeared to be a pendant of what appeared to be Equestria’s old symbol.

Then he placed it in a slot, causing the door to react whilst Silverbolt pulled the key out. When the door opened, what they saw, took them all by awe.

From within, there were over tons of books and plans throughout the years, there were even many larger artifacts like large scale models and actual real machines. From the Renaissance inventions, to the World War ones. But from behind were tons of gold, jewels and many other treasures, especially weapons and armour from different eras.

“Whoa.” said the girls in awe of what they were seeing.

“This, is, amazing.” said Princess Twilight as Silverbolt guided them down the stairs.

They continued to walk, until Silverbolt stopped them and walked to a shelf, whilst behind them were Da Vinci’s original tanks, gondola, flying device and many others. He pulled out a plan for one of Da Vinci’s inventions and showed it to both Twilights.

“Figured that you two would see an invention from one of the greatest men throughout the Renaissance.” said Silverbolt.

The two opened the map, and to their surprise, it was a galleon, but it looked like it had what appeared to be a large hot air balloon.

“Oh. My. Gosh.” said Twilight “This nearly resembles to the first ever Zeppelins during the days of World War II.”

“And it’s nearly identical to the ones we have back in Equestria.” said Princess Twilight in excitement.

“So uh, who’s this Da Vinci now?” asked pony Applejack.

“Oh,” said Silverbolt as he looked at the rest of the Mane 6 “Back in the Renaissance era, between the years like 1470 to 1512, there was a great man named Da Vinci. Not only was he one of the greatest painters, but he was also a master architect and engineer. He designed many inventions that would one day inspire future generations.”

“Uh, we can understand that.” said Pony Rainbow “But uh…”

Silverbolt could tell that she didn’t know the years, so he said “He existed about more than five hundred years ago. And many thought he was crazy, but it took future generations to prove them wrong.”

He guided them and said “Let’s get to the corner of the cave.”

They soon made their way further into the cave, and to their surprise, they saw many trinkets and treasures and artifacts and other magical totems from Equestria.

Princess Twilight gasped and dashed over to one Artifact in the glass case.

“That’s the Eye of Storm Gaze,” said Princess Twilight “The first pony to ever create an artifact that could help him see beyond distant lands.”

Sunset also noticed one and said “And that’s the quill of Arusela. Legend says that if you write anything, like making a wish, it’ll come true.”

“And that is the scepter of Oro,” said Silverbolt as he pointed at the scepter “Whoever wields it can create a city of their own image.”

Pony Pinkie gasped and said “You mean if I wanted to make a city completely out of cake and chocolates and ice cream, I could use this to do it?!”

“Exactly.” said Silverbolt, until he blinked and instantly went over to pony Pinkie, grabbed her hand, taking her by surprise as he said sternly “Don’t. Even. Think. About it.”

She giggled sheepishly and backed away from it. He guided them towards a certain shelf, showing different artifacts.

“I have many artifacts under my disposal.” Said Silverbolt “For example.”

He picked up one artifact and placed it on like a glove. For on top of the glove looked like a dial whilst on the palm was a type of jewel, which they were puzzled. They saw him turning the dial, though confused, the Rainbooms knew what he was doing, for he was turning the dial like it was a radio frequency. Once he was done, he aimed it at dragon Spike and shot him with a beam, much to their shock.

When the smoke cleared, they saw dragon Spike had been turned back to a dragon. He inspected himself as he was in shock.

“Whoa,” said Spike as he couldn’t believe what he was seeing “I’m me again.”

“Oh. My. Gosh.” muttered a voice. It was none other than Fluttershy. She instantly zipped over to dragon Spike and picked him up and nuzzled him whilst she said “You’re so adorable!!”

Dragon Spike couldn’t help but feel flustered. Though pony Fluttershy greeted him and gushed over him when they first met, but when the Fluttershy from this world said and did that, it felt completely different.

“That’s incredible,” said Princess Twilight whilst looking at Silverbolt “What was that?”

“This is the glove of Gorgonio,” said Silverbolt as he took it off and showed it to her. “Legend has it he was a wise Satyr who traveled from world to world who had different magic. And whenever he turned the dial on top, he gained the ability to tap into a specific world’s magic, allowing him to use it no matter where he went.”

“Incredible.” said Twilight as Silverbolt placed it back on the shelf.

“These happen to be the momentums from all of my adventures.” said Silverbolt, “But the one I’m greatly proud of is this.”

He pulled out a certain artifact, which looked like a large pocket watch of sorts, causing the Rainbooms and Princess Twilight to gasp in fear.

“Why in tarnation would ya’ll have that?!!” said Applejack.

“Uh, did we miss something here?” said pony Rainbow Dash.

“That device,” said Princess Twilight as she explained to them “Is the Time Twister. Whoever used it will be able to travel throughout any part of time.”

“Really darling?” said pony Rarity “Why are you so afraid of it?”

“Because Abacus Cinch nearly used it to destroy history.” said Princess Twilight

The Mane 6 and the two Spikes were shocked to hear that, whilst Princess Twilight tried to explain things to them.

“In this world during a contest between schools, a human named Abacus Cinch blackmailed this world’s Twilight into joining it. Then she accused CHS of cheating because magic was involved, but this world’s Twilight didn’t mean to release it and steal their magic, because she didn’t think this would happen, and despite this world’s Rainbow Dash to save everyone from a giant plant monster. Then Cinch blackmailed Twilight into releasing the magic, turning her into a demon monster named Midnight Sparkle. If it weren’t for Sunset, Twilight would’ve been lost to the darkness. Then Cinch demanded that they forfeited, despite she was the one who nearly destroyed everything. Shortly after that, she lost her job and she’s been gunning for revenge ever since. She came back for revenge and mind controlled the mayor of the city with the Dazzling’s help. They caused the school to be shut down and Sunset was so stressed she…”

They noticed he had a troubled look on his face, then said “She nearly committed suicide.”

The Rainbooms and Mane 6 gasped in shock, as Sunset lowered her head in shame, with Princess Twilight saying “Sunset told me on the way to CHS when I was looking for her.”

“When Cinch was arrested, she escaped and found the artifact.” said Princess Twilight as she took over “She used it to go back in time to stop Sunset and the others. But in doing so, she undid everything what I did to help Sunset see the light, to help this world’s Twilight to come out of her shell and move to CHS, and causing many of their enemies to come out of the woodwork and cause chaos, even their geodes, the ones to help give them their power were gone. Somehow five out of seven of them still had their memories as friends, but Sunset, Twilight and myself were caught in the crossfire and their demon selves were slowly being awakened.”

“We were able to stop her and destroy it before she could do anymore damage.” said Sunset, then she lowered her head and said “I regretted that fight with Twilight, but our demon selves were slowly taking over and we couldn’t think straight.”

Twilight then said “But why do you have it, I thought it was destroyed.”

“Not exactly.” said Silverbolt “Before it was destroyed, I took it with me and used it to reverse what I could. But I used it to travel through time.”

“But why didn’t you destroy it?!” said Rainbow Dash.

Silverbolt then lowered his head, then to their surprise, they saw him shed a tear.

“I couldn’t.” said Silverbolt “This…means everything to me.”

Silverbolt turned around and pulled what appeared to be a painting, which was of a pony with wings and a sun for a cutie mark.

“This was made by a student of mine long ago.” said Silverbolt. He looked up and began to tell them of what happened.

*********************************************************************************************

Silverbolt taught a young pony everything he knew about magic. Even if he was a Pegasus, Silverbolt helped him see true potential.

Long ago, I trained a student by the name of Solar Force. He was the most talented Pegasus I had ever met. Even if he was a Pegasus, he somehow found a way to wield magic like I’ve never seen before.

Silverbolt was shocked that Solar Force had created an artifact that could let the user travel through time, with Silverbolt demanding that he would destroy it, for time should not be messed.

But one day, to my shock, he had created that artifact you know, saying that it has the power to travel through time. I forbade him from ever using it and told him that time and space should never be messed with. He understood and hid it.

He saw that Solar Force was suddenly used the power to travel through time.

One day, as I was about to graduate him to a full master, to my shock, he used the said artifact to travel back in time. He looked in a rush, but I didn’t pay proper attention. I knew I had to stop him from doing something reckless.

Silverbolt personally traveled through time to stop him.

I was able to figure out how to travel back in time, and with a medallion of my own that was only meant for two trips, which meant I had to make it count. Once I was done, I traveled through time.

But to his shock, after he arrived at his destination, he saw many dead creatures from different kingdoms, all that he recognized.

But when I got there, to my shock, I witnessed many dead black dragons, rogue Yaks, savage Griffons and so on. I recognized all of them, for they were the once I stopped a long time ago and freed their kinds from oppression. I didn’t know how they could’ve traveled there, for I didn’t think it would be possible.

Then he found the dead body of his student.

But when I arrived, there on the ground, to my horror, I found his body. I rushed over, trying my best to wake him, but he had lost so much blood. He died of his wounds, and his artifact was gone, meaning it could’ve been anywhere. I didn’t care about that, I only wanted to know why he did it.

He saw two ponies playing and laughing happily, which was none other than himself and Gusty when they were kids.

But to my shock, far off the field, I saw both myself and Gusty when we were just kids. It was then it dawned to me; he didn’t travel back in time to wanting to change the course of history, he traveled back in time to save me and Gusty from a gruesome fate. If we perished, Equestria would’ve been doomed.

He held Solar Force and wept, crying over the fall of his student.

Never had I cried so much in all my life, holding onto a student I had cherished like so many others before them. I wished I had done better, I wished…I had listened.

***********************************************************************************************

“But the artifact was suddenly gone,” said Silverbolt as he shed more tears “I just had to find it. It was the only thing that reminded me of my student. One whom I should’ve listened and which I treasure more than anything in the world.”

The Rainbooms, Mane Six and the two Spikes were shocked to hear this, with some, namely Fluttershy, Rarity, their counterparts, even Princess Twilight and Sunset were shedding tears.

Sunset hugged Silverbolt and said “Oh Silverbolt, I’m so sorry.”

Silverbolt sighed, after wiping a bit of his tears away.

“But wait,” said Pinkie Pie as she realized something “If we didn’t destroy it, then how did the timeline get restored? More importantly what happened to Cinch?”

Silverbolt took a stone and said “This is the stone of Remembrance. To tell you the tale is to show you how it all began. The time traveling, I mentioned? This is how it began.”

He lifted the stone in the air, causing the entire room to transform, making them shield their eyes. When they opened them, to their surprise, it was none other than the Canadian Rockies. From down below, they saw past Silverbolt, traveling up the path as he was touring the place.

“I had just begun to travel through the Canadian Rockies about three years before Sunset came into this world. Whilst I was traveling to a large cave with a large space, that’s when it happened.”

They saw how rift portals had begun to appear all over the place, much to their shock. past Silverbolt inspected two of them that were close. They saw one portal, to the Mane 6 and dragon Spike’s shock, was Starlight Glimmer, who traveled back in time to stop them from becoming friends.

“One rift portal showed who was responsible for messing with time.” said Silverbolt. “But then I realized that she was partially responsible for messing with time. The one who truly caused damage was her.”

To the Rainbooms” shock, it was none other than Abacus Cinch, who tried to discovered the Time Twister and used it to travel through time to stop the Rainbooms and ruin their lives.

“What she did.” said Silverbolt in disgust “Was unforgivable.”

“That she tried to ruin our lives?” said Applejack.

“No,” said Silverbolt, before looking at them and said “That she was this close into literally destroy the world.”

They gasped in shock, with Sunset saying “How is that possible?”

“Because of the device.” said Silverbolt “When she used it to travel through time, the entire timestream became corrupted with Equestrian Magic.”

They could hardly believe what he was telling him, with Silverbolt looking at them and said “Remember all the important people throughout history. Artists, Inventors, Engineers, Politicians, Leaders, Warriors and Soldiers, even events like Wars and so on?”

Some nodded, for they do remember their world’s history.

“There were many folks who were jealous of their exploits, their accomplishments and those who tried to turn the tide of the war and would do whatever it takes to win,” said Silverbolt “So all of them became corrupted with Equestrian Magic, and they used it to kill them to ensure that future generations would never be inspired and build up the world to what it is today.”

Princess Twilight was shocked and muttered “Oh no.” whilst she looked down in horror.

“Exactly.” Said Silverbolt “But then I saw something else that caught my attention.”

They saw a third rift opening. To past Silverbolt, Rainbooms, the two Spikes and the Mane 6” s shock, it was the Time Twister, moments before it was supposedly destroyed. They saw that moments before it was destroyed, he instantly grabbed it and pulled it out. He was glad to see it again. However, he had concerns as he looked at the rifts. He placed his hand onto the portal, and to his shock, he felt Equestrian Magic through the timeline.

“That bitch.” Said past Silverbolt “What has she done?”

“I knew I had to take matters into my own hands.” Said Silverbolt “So I chose to travel through time and undo both Starlight and Cinch’s meddling.”

They saw past Silverbolt grasping onto the device, aimed at the open space, opening a portal in the process. He ran towards it and jumped through.

They saw past Silverbolt traveling as he could literally see tons of Equestrian Magic that had been tampered throughout the entire timeline. He followed the trail towards his destination. To the one part he never expected it. When he arrived, he was at the top of the mountain. He looked around, wondering where he was, but to his surprise, he was wearing some kind of armour.

“Goodness darling, what are you wearing?” said Rarity.

“She’s right, it’s simply ghastly.” Said pony Rarity.

Before he could answer, they heard of an army marching. Past Silverbolt looked down and saw there was indeed an army marching, with the others watching too. However, one look at them, Twilight instantly recognized him with wide eyes.

“Leonidas and the Great 300.” Said Twilight.

“Wait, you know them?” said pony Rainbow Dash.

Silverbolt gestured Twilight to say it, which made her smile.

“Leonidas and the Great 300.” said Twilight “Leonidas was known as the king of Sparta, a kingdom filled with great and mighty warriors of Greece. Long ago, the Persians, led by their king Darius, was annoyed with the Greeks and their so called freedom, so he sent an army to bring it to heel. Hadn’t it been for Themistocles and the Greeks who fought alongside him, they would’ve succeeded. Themistocles succeeded into killing their king, but their son Xerxes wanted revenge, so he gathered all of Persia and led their armies. Whilst Themistocles led the Greek fleets to stop their advancing ships, king Leonidas led 300 Spartans to the Hot Gates to defend it from thousands Persian soldiers who tried to invade from there.”

They were surprised by this, with pony Rainbow Dash saying “Only 300? Why not the entire army?”

“Because their council,” said Silverbolt “In all of their cowardice, were bribed by Persian gold in order to convince the king to have Sparta surrender. But he wouldn’t have it. So, he took 300 of his best men to defend their position there.”

“And how did you fit in?” said Spike.

Silverbolt was able to fast forward the event. He showed that there were a handful of Persians who were corrupted with Equestrian Magic, personal agents of Xerxes, were plotting to assassinate Leonidas just as they were about to set up camp. They saw past Silverbolt was able to kill one of them and take their sword, shield and spear. The Persian agents suddenly made themselves known, taking Leonidas and the Spartans by surprise, as they saw them being generated by Equestrian Magic. Just before they could make their move, they saw past Silverbolt charging in.

They saw, to the Mane 6’s shock, he actually jabbed a spear through one of the Persian’s back. He pulled out a sword and held his shield at the ready whilst the Persian assassins attacked him whilst Leonidas and the Spartans watched as Silverbolt fought.

The first Persian tried to strike, but Silverbolt ducked and jabbed his sword into his chest, then he blocked and jabbed another. The third attacked whilst Silverbolt blocked it, but the moment he saw another about to attack, he jumped up and tossed the shield like a discus, allowing the shield to bounce against the attacking Persian, then another from the port direction, then another at the starboard direction, then one that was close into attacking him, knocking all four out in the process. Silverbolt jumped up in the air and caught the shield before striking down the Persian.

The Spartans on the other hand were impressed by his skills.

“He certainly is skilled.” Said one of the Spartans named Dienekes.

Even the Mane 6 and Rainbooms, along with the two Spikes were surprised to see him fight.

Silverbolt jabbed his sword into the next Persian, before turning around and killing it by striking him down. Until one of the Persians used Equestrian Magic and struck Silverbolt hard against the wall. But he didn’t deter, instead, he suddenly raised his sword, causing them to see that the storms were being created from above, shocking the Persians and Spartans. Silver lightning began to strike from above, allowing his sword to be generating the stuff. Before anyone could react, Silverbolt thrusted his sword forward, shooting the lightning at the Persians, electrocuting them in the process.

“He commands the thunderbolts of Zeus.” Said one of the Spartans.

The next group of Persians tried to attack, until Silverbolt summoned what appeared to be water and struck them away too.

“And he controls the water of Poseidon.” Said another.

The remaining Persians struggled to stand back up, and were attempting to heal themselves with it. Until Silverbolt took out the Time Twister and drained the Equestrian Magic out of them, killing them instantly.

“And he possesses the power to take life like Hades.” Said the third Spartan.

After they had fallen, Silverbolt took a breather as he was exhausted. He looked to his right and saw many of the Spartans still staring in awe, whilst Leonidas still had that cold look on his face. Silverbolt decided to walk over to the Spartan King. Though some were cautious, Leonidas stood his ground. After being close enough, to the Spartans” surprise, Silverbolt bowed to the Spartan King.

“For the Glory of Sparta.” Said Silverbolt.

The Spartans were surprised to see where his loyalties lied. Leonidas walked towards Silverbolt, slowly holding onto him and made him stand up straight. Though he kept the expression, Leonidas suddenly smiled and looked to his fellow warriors.

“Spartans!! Let us welcome our new brother!!”

“Ha-ooh!! Ha-ooh!! Ha-ooh!!” chanted the Spartans, which surprised the Rainbooms and Mane 6 and the two Spikes when they saw how he won their respect.

“Walk with me.” Said Leonidas as he and Dienekes walked beside him.

As they walked, Leonidas asked “Now then, what is your name?”

“My name is Silverbolt.” Said past Silverbolt whilst he spoke to Leonidas “I was sent here on a mission.”

“From the gods?” asked Dienekes.

“You might say that.” Said past Silverbolt “The Persians had sent assassins after you, wielding a power far greater than you could ever imagine. A power that should never fall into theirs or anyone else’s hands.”

“From what I have witnessed, I can believe that.” Said Leonidas. But he looked at the horizon “But it does not matter. If we are to survive, then we must face the Persians before they could do anymore damage.”

“If only we had the full army, we would’ve easily gained a victory.” Said Dienekes.

Past Silverbolt bit his lip as he didn’t want to reveal anything. But…his element of kindness and honesty betrayed him as he came forward.

“There is a reason for that.” Said past Silverbolt.

The two Spartans, as well as a handful who were listening, wondered what he meant.

“What do you mean?” said Dienekes.

“You have been betrayed.” Said past Silverbolt.

The Spartans then looked at past Silverbolt, with Leonidas not liking the sound of it.

“Explain.” He demanded.

“The Ephors didn’t try to stop you from waging war because of the Pythia,” said past Silverbolt “They tried to stop you because an agent of Xerxes snuck its way into Sparta and bribed them with Persian gold, even promising them women for their own amusement.”

To say that they were shocked and angered were an understatement. Dienekes and the Spartans were shockened to learn of the truth.

“How did they get…? Said Leonidas when his anger began to grow.

“Your advisor Theron,” said past Silverbolt, whom the Spartan King’s eyes had widened. “He brought the agent in and smuggled him out in exchange for his share of the gold.”

Leonidas looked down in anger, his rage growing, then yelled in rage as he grabbed a large rock and tossed it aside. He turned then shouted “I knew I should’ve killed him when I had the chance!!”

“Which is why I’m here.” Said past Silverbolt “Before I came here, I already had things set in motion and he will be exposed soon. But right now, I’m also here to give you more information.”

“What kind?” asked the Spartan.

“Xerxes is planning to invade from both sides.” Said past Silverbolt “Both on land and sea.”

“Then we have no chance.” Said one of the Spartans.

“You do actually,” said past Silverbolt “How much do you know Themistocles?”

“The hero of Marathon?” said Dienekes.

“Yes,” said past Silverbolt “He came by earlier to ask for aid to build a fleet of ships to stop them. Whilst he attempts to stop the threat at sea, all of you attempt to stop their armies.”

“Why didn’t he?” asked Leonidas.

“Your wife for one thing,” said past Silverbolt “She refused to give him aid.”

He couldn’t help but smirk and said “She really is a stubborn one. I can see why you wed her. She truly is a worthy queen of Sparta.”

He looked at Leonidas directly and said “But know this, the Persians will never stop until all of Greece has fallen. Hence why I have a gift for you.”

Past Silverbolt pulled out a sword and show it to him. When he pulled the sword out of its scabbard, Leonidas and the Spartans around him were shocked to see what he was holding.

“The Sword of Sparta.” Said Leonidas.

“The very sword that had been forged for the first king of Sparta.” Said past Silverbolt, who placed it back and presented it to him “Which now belongs to you.”

Leonidas was taken aback by this as he looked at the sword, then to past Silverbolt. He slowly accepted it and held the first sword in his hands.

“I don’t know how I can repay you for this.” Said Leonidas.

“There is one way.” Said past Silverbolt. He bowed and said “Knowing the Persians, they have more of their agents wielding such power. Therefore, I wish to fight alongside you.”

Leonidas looked at him for a moment, who then smiled and said “Dienekes.”

Dienekes approached Leonidas and stood next to him.

“Get this man some proper attire and weapons worthy of a Spartan.”

“Yes sire.” Said Dienekes as he left.

“Whoa,” said Rainbow Dash as she and the others looked at him “You fought alongside Leonidas and the 300 Spartans?”

“I did.” Said Silverbolt.

He fast forwarded the part where they saw him standing next to Dienekes whilst Leonidas walked past his men and stood on the frontlines.

“Spartans!!” shouted Leonidas as he stood in front of his troops “Every breath that you have taken, has led you to this moment!! Every drop of blood, sweat and tear, all of it, has led to where you stand, right now!!”

He stood in the frontlines with Dienekes and past Silverbolt next to him.

“The Persians, have come to make slaves of us all.” Said Leonidas “I have a better idea. I say, we will drench the gods, with their blood!! What say you Spartans?!!”

“Ah-oh!!” chanted the Spartans.

“For our sons!!” shouted Leonidas

“Ah-oh!!”

“For our daughters!!”

“Ah-oh!!”

“For Sparta!!”

“Ah-oh!! Ah-oh!! Ah-oh!!”

Leonidas, Dienekes and past Silverbolt turned around to face the incoming Persians. They saw them gather at a large force, with past Silverbolt sensing Equestrian Magic from the leader, who was using it to empower his soldiers.

“Spartans!!” shouted the General “Lay down your weapons!!”

Past Silverbolt used his magic to create a spear and blessed it to kill the Persian and drain the magic from him via Time Twister. He threw it with all of his might, causing the spear to clash and kill the Persian. Leonidas simply smirked at that as the Persian general collapsed.

“Persians!!” shouted Leonidas as they all formed a Phalanx formation “Come and get them!!”

They saw the Persians attacking them in full force, whilst the Spartans held their ground.

“Give them nothing!!” shouted Silverbolt.

“But take from them!!!” shouted Leonidas.

“Everything!!” shouted the two.

They saw how the Spartans and Persians had engaged in combat. The Rainbooms were quite surprised. They may have seen a few movies about fights like this, but they never realized it was this good, whilst the Mane 6 were sort of horrified as they’ve never witnessed fights like this before.

As the Spartans and Persians continued with their fight, they saw how both Leonidas and past Silverbolt fought alongside one another, and continued to brave against many opponents. Until the two of them saw a champion of the Persians, who happened to be larger, but past Silverbolt could tell that he had Equestrian magic, so both he and Leonidas charged at the champion and tackled him off of the ledge and landed just a few feet away from the forces. The two of them continued to fight, until finally, once Leonidas had the champion distracted, past Silverbolt used the Time Twister to absorb the magic, allowing Leonidas to kill him.

Soon the battle was won and the Spartans went over to kill any remaining Persians. The two walked among the soldiers.

“I have you to thank for what you have done for us today.” Said Leonidas.

“I was just doing my duty.” Said past Silverbolt.

“What will you do now?” said Leonidas as the two stopped.

“Now I make for Sparta.” Said past Silverbolt “It’s time that Theron be punished for his crimes. Once I do, I will convince them and the rest of Greece to unite up in arms to help stop the invasion.”

“Then I wish you luck.” Said Leonidas as the two shook hands.

*******************************************************************************************

They saw past Silverbolt talking to the council, but as usual Theron tried to persuade them not to go. Then past Silverbolt showed them his power, which shocked them, thinking that he was Zeus in human form. He then pointed at Theron for betraying Sparta and showed him the gold the Persians paid him, which shockened the council. Theron tried to escape, until past Silverbolt used his lightning to kill Theron. He once more convinced the council. After seeing the display, they agreed and decided to unite all of Sparta.

Soon after he left, he went to the other Greek cities, even Athens, whilst also convincing the leaders to evacuate the civilians. Even though she shouldn’t mess with that part, his power of Loyalty outweighed his decision. Soon all of Greece would be united.

******************************************************************************************

Then they saw him teleport in an unknown location, until he heard screaming and looked at the one direction. Knowing what it meant, he quickly made his way to the edge, which caused the others who were watching to be concerned.

“What’s happening?” asked a frightful Fluttershy.

“The worst part of history,” said Silverbolt as they saw past Silverbolt watching over the hill whilst having a shockened expression “Watching history run its course.”

They saw down below how Leonidas and the 300 Spartans were fighting, but to their shock, many had begun to be slain as many troops were overwhelmed by Persian troops. Those who could’ve helped out were all shot down by arrows, whilst Leonidas watched his fellow brothers and soldiers fell, even Dienekes as he watched him get killed from behind.

“Dienekes!!” shouted Leonidas as he tried to aid his friend, only to be sometimes stabbed and shot with arrows whilst trying to fend the Persians off, even if most of them were also shot down by their own troops.

Soon, every Spartan and Persian was killed with an arrow, whilst Leonidas stood on his knees, feeling the life within him slowly fading away. That was, until a Persian officer approached and was about to finish him, until past Silverbolt killed him. Once he was done, he quickly stood on his knees and held onto the fallen Spartan King.

“Leonidas.” Said past Silverbolt “Forgive me for not being here.”

“It’s alright Silverbolt.” Said Leonidas whilst he was slowly dying. “Tell me, is it done?”

“Yes,” said past Silverbolt “Theron has been exposed and killed, and the council are gathering every Spartan to arms. All of Greece are doing the same too. I even evacuated Athens just in case.”

“Tell me?” said Leonidas “Was our sacrifice worth it?”

“It is.” Said past Silverbolt “Because of you and the brave 300’s sacrifice, you inspired all of Greece to unite up in arms, and in turn, defeated Xerxes and the Persian Empire. Your people were free to live their lives to the fullest.”

He smiled and said “Your task is done King Leonidas. It’s time for you to rest among your brothers.”

“Thank you.” Said Leonidas whilst he smiled “For the honor of Sparta.”

“For the honor of Sparta.” Responded past Leonidas.

Leonidas then gasped his last breath and died in past Silverbolt’s arms, allowing past Silverbolt to mourn for him as he lowered his head. The rest were horrified by this outcome.

“They…didn’t make it?” said a shockened Princess Twilight.

“I know what you’re thinking,” said Silverbolt “Why didn’t I go save them?”

He looked at them and said “That’s the hardest part of history. If Leonidas and the 300 didn’t die in battle in the later date, then they wouldn’t have inspired all of Greece with their sacrifice, they wouldn’t have united up in arms and take the fight to Xerxes and the Persian Empire. With their combined might, they defeated him and his armies and beliefs. Trust me, it’s hard. It always is.”

All of them understood that completely, whilst they continued to watch him save history.

**************************************************************************************************

They saw how he traveled to the time of Julius Caesar, and to the Rainbooms and Mane Six’s shock, they saw he was the one who convinced Brutus, Caesar’s adopted son, and the roman councilors to murder Caesar and used special knives that he created in order to kill him. The Knife that Brutus used was created to drain Equestrian Magic from Caesar in order to finish him off.

Then they saw him create a sword, which he dubbed Excalibur, much to the Rainbooms” shock once more, and helped train and convince a Wizard named Merlin to help test out King Arthur. When the Saxons invaded, Arthur used his sword to struck down the Saxon King, who was corrupted with Equestrian Magic, thus making Arthur king of the Britons.

The next part was where he literally traveled and fought alongside the Vikings, whilst plundering and pillaging the villages along the way. And the specific commanding officers that were corrupted with Equestrian Magic. After he was done, he soon traveled on his own, using the Time Twister to stop Equestrian Magic from going rogue.

Then next part was where he was traveling through, to their surprise, the Crusades. But they saw he was sneaking around. He posed as a patient and spotted a doctor using Equestrian Magic to control his victims, with Silverbolt killing him in the process. Then he killed another commanding officer in his own office before sneaking out. Then he killed a naval officer who was blocking the docks. He soon found his way to King Richard himself, who was busy engaging the enemy. But just when a fellow commanding officer attempts to kill the king, Silverbolt jumped in and saved the king. King Richard thanked Silverbolt, but then he told him of his brother John and his actions. Shockened, he made haste to return home and put a stop to his brother.

**************************************************************************************************

“I can’t believe so many people throughout history was corrupted with Equestrian Magic.” Said Princess Twilight.

“Trust me, even I found it horrifying.” Said Silverbolt. “But now we enter the next part of my travels.”

“Where?” asked the girls with flexed eyebrows.

He looked at them and said “The Renaissance.”

**************************************************************************************************

He soon landed in the Renaissance era, where he first met up with Donatello. The artist was about to be attacked by muggers who were corrupted with Equestrian Magic, but then he stepped in and saved him. Donatello thanked past Silverbolt, with Silverbolt asking what he wanted to do. Donatello said that he didn’t know what to do in his life, with Silverbolt offering to help.

To their surprise, they saw past Silverbolt teaching Donatello to sculpt and to be a prolific master of many mediums including stone, bronze, wood, stucco, clay, and wax.

Then after his departure, he traveled to 1480 and had met up with a brilliant man that Twilight instantly recognized; Leonardo Da Vinci.

He once again saved an artist from the same men who were corrupted with Equestrian Magic, but then he got wounded. Causing Leonardo to run over and help him.

“Are you alright Signore?” said Da Vinci as he helped past Silverbolt up.

“Barely.” Said past Silverbolt “I had worse, though this one seemed a lot tougher.”

“Here, let me help you.” Said Da Vinci as he took him in his home.

He placed him on the table and was able to dress his wounds.

“Thank you again for saving my life.” Said Da Vinci.

“The least I could do.” Said past Silverbolt.

“But if I may ask,” said Da Vinci “Why did you save me?”

“Because you’re more important than you realize.” Said Silverbolt.

Da Vinci was confused and said “What…do you mean?”

Past Silverbolt looked at the Time Twister for a moment. He knew he shouldn’t do it, but then again, the things he designed, must’ve been a reason. He took it and presented it to Da Vinci.

“Here, hold it.” Said Silverbolt.

The others were surprised when he suggested something drastic. Curious, he held onto the artifact, causing his eyes to glow and witnessed everything. After thirty seconds, he realized the device, making Da Vinci pant with widened eyes and shock. He looked at Silverbolt in shock and said “You are…from the future?”

“I am.” Said Silverbolt as he stood up. “The men I stopped recently, they won’t be the last. There are plenty of others who were inspired by yours and many others” creations. All of them have been corrupted by this said power. If I do not stop them, then the world is doomed to fall.”

Da Vinci stood up as he moved over, grabbed the artifact, then he grabbed Silverbolt’s hand and placed the device in it.

“Then you must continue to get underway.” Said Da Vinci, with the others seeing that he was taking things really well “If what you say is true, then there are many out there who will threaten the future.”

“That’s what I’m planning.” Said past Silverbolt “And if I don’t, then our future will cease to exist.”

“Then allow me to help you on your journey.” Said Da Vinci “I may have the means to help, but I require plenty of materials in order to do so.”

“I’ll get them for you.” Said past Silverbolt once Da Vinci made him a list.

Past Silverbolt soon returned with the materials whilst Da Vinci had brought in a tailor friend of his, as well as a blacksmith. The tailor had fashioned an outfit via Da Vinci’s design, whilst the blacksmith made the necessary equipment for him to use. Soon the tailor made him the necessary pouches and outfit to operate throughout time, whilst the blacksmith had made him weapons that he can carry in his belts, the back of his boots (which are concealed), as well as hidden blades that resembled to the video game he liked a while back, as well as the necessary hood to help him. Which surprised the Rainbooms and Mane 6, even the two Spikes, for that was the same outfit they saw earlier when they walked into the room.

Past Silverbolt inspected his outfit, with Da Vinci asking “So, how does it feel.”

Past Silverbolt looked at Da Vinci with a smirk and said “Like I was made to wear it.”

After paying Da Vinci and wishing him luck, Beau continued on his journey to help those in need.

**************************************************************************************************

He soon traveled to Michelangelo and helped him make the statue of David and the Sistine Chapel, which surprised Twilight and Sunset, he even helped out Raphael when he met him. After Silverbolt was done, he traveled through time once more and made his way to his next destination.

He soon made his way to the time, to their surprise, helped Christopher Columbus discover Central America. Overtime, he helped the first Settlers, the Pilgrims, into settling one large of land and helped them meet the natives, and introduce Thanksgiving, which made the Rainbooms realize that not only did he help them, he even invented the holidays too.

Then came the part that he remembered well, during the French and Indian War, he met up with Benjamin Franklin and helped him with his inventions and inventing electricity. But when they saw the kite, and instead of Franklin getting electrocuted, it was Silverbolt instead, much to their shock, with them slowly looking at him.

“Wow,” said Spike “Must’ve been painful.”

“You have no idea.” Mumbled Silverbolt as he still remembered that painful day.

Then overtime when they began to tax their products, they saw that Silverbolt was the one who convinced John Hancock and Samuel Adams to lead the Sons of Liberty, whilst dumping all of the tea in the water, which surprised the Mane 6.

“Why would they do that?” said a shockened Princess Twilight.

“How would you feel if all of you were overtaxed and had to pay ten times more than you could originally would?” asked Silverbolt “How long would it be until you had no roof over your head and no single scrap of food to eat?”

The Mane 6 and Spike shuddered, thinking about that certain scenario.

Then they saw him convince George Washington and many who would one day be the future of the founding fathers, to help rise up against the British Empire.

Shortly afterwards, they saw how he had fought alongside the brave soldiers during the battle of Lexington and Concord, how he tried to help John Park despite of his disease, he told him to take the men to Concord whilst he and his men would continue to hold out for as long as they could. Past Silverbolt took the men to Concord and helped them mount up a spirited defense against the advancing Redcoats.

Soon, he fought alongside them during the battle of Bunker Hill, which they soon lost and had no choice but to retreat.

Very soon, they saw how Silverbolt convinced the Founding Fathers to take a stand and soon, they signed the Declaration of Independence.

They saw how Silverbolt went from place to place to ensure that the women and children were safe, as well as those that would’ve been treated like slaves. The two Spikes, Rainbooms and Mane 6 were surprised to see Silverbolt in action.

“Amazing,” said Twilight “Even after there were many folks who were corrupted with Equestrian Magic, you still went out of your way to save all of them.”

“It was necessary.” Said Silverbolt. “Then I had to involve myself in a battle that would be the turning point of the war.”

That’s when Twilight and Sunset put it together, and said at the same time “The Battle of Cowpens.”

“Exactly.” Said Silverbolt.

“What did ya’ll do?” asked Applejack.

Silverbolt looked at them with a smirk and said “Something thrice as stupid as Rainbow Dash would.”

The two flexed their eyebrows at that, but decided not to question it until they found out what he meant by that.

They saw the battle of Cowpens, the place where the tide of the war was supposed to turn, but to the Rainbooms” shock, it was anything but, for the Patriots, Colonials and Militia were retreating from the Redcoats as they had them on the run, but to their shock, they saw that one of the commanding officers near General Cornwallis was corrupted with Equestrian Magic. But from afar, they saw past Silverbolt, whilst dressed in the attire that Leonardo Da Vinci gave him, watching the battle. He gripped his fists, knowing full well what he had to do.

They saw him going to the cannon soldiers and instructed them to change their cannons and mortars to certain directions and told them to fire when the wind blows. Then he used magic to create a phantom horse further away, which surprised them. They watched past Silverbolt walk towards the horse, but at the same time, the soldiers tried to stop him, but he just simply pushed them away and made his way towards it.

That’s when it dawned to them, with Sunset saying “You didn’t.”

He did, for they saw past Silverbolt riding straight towards the enemy, not ever slowing down. As he was a few feet away from the Redcoats, they fired, but past Silverbolt hid past the phantom horse, causing the horse to be hit and neigh loudly that the colonials and militia heard it and watched what was going on.

The phantom horse disappeared and past Silverbolt quickly hid behind a rock whilst the Redcoats fired. But as they reloaded, past Silverbolt charged straight towards them. And the girls and the two Spikes watched as he took on the army alone.

He jumped onto a Redcoat and launched himself in the air, and used his two hidden blades to kill the two Redcoats before they could make a move. He grabbed the Redcoat’s musket and used the bud of it to knock him away. Then past Silverbolt deflected the soldier’s weapon and knocked him out with it, whilst using the redcoat’s musket to shoot at the next, then used it as a spear and threw it with all his might against the charging redcoat.

The militia and colonials watched from afar as they saw past Silverbolt fight. He pulled out a pistol and shot at the Redcoat in pointblank range. Then he pulled out a knife and plunged it into the next ones back, allowing him to jump in the air and land on top of another Redcoat and jabbed his hidden blade in his neck. The next redcoat tried to attack with his sword, but past Silverbolt grabbed his hands and ended up tricking him into stabbing himself before collapsing onto the ground. The next redcoat tried to stab past Silverbolt, but he caught it and punched it two times, kicked it in the gut and stabbed it with its own weapon, then used the round to shot another, then threw it again like a makeshift spear.

“Whoa.” Said Puppy Spike.

“He’s good.” Said Dragon Spike.

Past Silverbolt ran and vaulted over one redcoat before kicking the next one behind it. He punched and backhanded two redcoats tried to attack him, with past Silverbolt jabbing a knife into the redcoat’s gut, then vaulted over him before grabbing the redcoat’s musket and punched him away whilst using it as a bo-staff and killed it in the process. He grabbed one redcoat’s wrist whilst he was holding a sword, allowing him to block the other, allowing past Silverbolt to kick him away before killing the redcoat he was holding. Past Silverbolt ducked the next redcoat before snapping his neck. Past Silverbolt got grabbed from behind, only for him to headbutt the soldier and dodged the next redcoat’s attack, killing him in the process, whilst he headbutted the attacking redcoat, and blocked the other before punching him away, whilst also pulling out two knives and jabbed both in the gut before moving them away. He then used the one redcoat as a human shield as it got tricked by his own men to kill him, with past Silverbolt charging as two wrist blades appeared from his wrists. And attacked.

Many of the Militia and Colonials saw past Silverbolt attacking, even their commanding officers. General Cornwallis also stared in disbelief when he saw Silverbolt beat so many of his men. Past Silverbolt charged towards the second line as he dodged the one redcoat and blocked the second ones attack, only for past Silverbolt to slid the redcoat’s throat. He parried the next one before he killed the third.

From afar, the colonial soldier looked at his fellow comrades said “Come on lads!! That man, despite being overwhelmed, charged straight towards the Redcoats!! If he’s brave enough to fight for the future of our country, then so can we!!”

The Patriot soldiers and Militia cheered at this, but at the same time, the cannon soldiers saw the wind blowing, causing them to fire all of their cannons, whilst at the same time, every Patriot and Militia soldier charged towards the enemy with their bayonets drawn, whilst the Redcoats that past Silverbolt missed, ended up being killed by cannon fire, especially the Redcoats that were close to past Silverbolt, but he just fought them like they were nothing.

Soon he spotted his prey, as the Officer spotted him. Past Silverbolt suddenly disappeared during the confusion, whilst at the same time, Cornwallis was too distracted as he saw how many of the Militia and Patriots charged towards the Redcoats as the said soldiers tried to fight for their lives.

“Forward, now!!” shouted the officer.

But from out of nowhere, past Silverbolt jumped up and had a bow and arrow in his hands. The moment he locked on, past Silverbolt fired the arrow, allowing him to hit his target as it fell off of his horse. Past Silverbolt soon made his way toward the officer. The officer himself was struggling to get up, for the arrow was filled with Equestrian magic too. The officer looked at him and with one mighty blow, past Silverbolt killed the officer. And before the officer died, past Silverbolt used the Time Twister and absorbed the magic from him.

Past Silverbolt stood up and spotted Cornwallis, whilst the said general spotted him.

“This is no longer your land Cornwallis.” Said past Silverbolt “Time has changed. It’s time that a new chapter be opened. And you and I both know how this will end. You have one chance to make it right. Don’t waste it.”

Cornwallis, simply looked at him, and said calmy “Sound the retreat.”

Soon, the leaders retreated, with the Redcoats in tow. At the same time, the Militia and Patriots cheered at their victory, with past Silverbolt smiling and left in order to continue to fix the timeline.

The two Spikes, the Mane 6 and the Rainbooms were in awe of what he did.

“So…you made sure that our country had a future.” Said Rarity.

“I did.” Said Silverbolt.

“But…didn’t it…?” said Princess Twilight, but Silverbolt cut her off, for he knew what she was going to say.

“Feel wrong to kill?” said Silverbolt. “It did actually. I mean growing up in a world that wasn’t filled with this much violence, it was enough to make you sick to your stomach. But I also knew that if I didn’t, more people would suffer and die. War is never pretty, it never is. But there’s also a saying in this world.”

“And old saying?” said Pony Applejack “Like what?”

“That the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil, is for good men to do nothing.” Said Silverbolt, until he smirked and looked at them whilst saying “Or in this case, a brave dog and dragon, along with six ponies from Equestria and 7 special ladies from Canterlot High.”

The two Spikes smiled with pride, whilst the said ponies and Rainbooms blushed a bit with small smiles.

“So you continued to fix the timeline?” said Twilight.

“Yes.” Said Silverbolt, but then looked down as if he was unnerved for some reason “Until I ended up catching their attention.”

They looked at one another confused, then to him as Pony Fluttershy said “Who?”

He used his magic to display a hologram. To their shock and horror, it was a ghost like being, with sharp claws and teeth and looked like an undead ghost.

“Those are called Time Wraiths.” Said Silverbolt “They’re sort of like keepers of time themselves. They ensure that the timeline is protected and they ensured that nothing changes, otherwise there would be drastic consequences.”

“What do you mean?” said Applejack.

“The Time Wraiths hate it when someone tries to disrupt the timeline and they would do anything they could to end the ones who are responsible.”

They stuttered in fear on that, with Sunset asking “But wait, I remember when Post Crush used the Time Twirler, how come the Time Wraiths didn’t show up then?”

“The Time Twirler only repeats a day,” said Silverbolt “If everything goes right, then there isn’t any danger. But if you were attempting to change one small historical thing into a big thing, then it would gain their attention.”

“So why didn’t they try to stop Abacus when she tried to change history?” said Rainbow Dash.

“Because Time Wraiths are weak against Equestrian Magic.” said Silverbolt, much to their shock and surprise. “Think about it, if Starlight kept trying to change the timeline, how come no one was able to stop her? Answer; she used her magic to destroy them, hence why they were too weak to stop her.”

“That…” said Princess Twilight as she couldn’t believe this whilst holding her head “This is uncanny. So that would explain why nopony tried to stop her.”

“Exactly.” Said Silverbolt “When I cleared most of the magic up, they came out of the woodwork and made sure things were set. But when they spotted me, they thought I was the one responsible. They attempted to stop me when I tried to stop Abraham Lincoln’s assassination.”

They were shocked to hear that, with Pinkie saying “But wasn’t Lincoln supposed to die?”

“You don’t understand,” said Silverbolt “Lincoln was assassinated on April 15th, 1865. They tried to assassinate him on November 19th, 1863.”

The Rainbooms were shocked that Lincoln was nearly assassinated in 1863, with Pony Rarity asking “So what was so important about this date?”

He looked at Twilight, seeing that her score is the highest. And said “Four score and seven years ago.”

Twilight gasped in shock, and said “The Gettysburg Address.”

“The what now?” said pony Rainbow Dash.

“The most important speech in history.” Said Silverbolt. “It goes like this…”

He cleared his throat and spoke “Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. That this nation, under god, shall have a new birth of freedom. And that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish, from this earth.”

They were in awe of the speech, no wonder it was so important. “Anyway, it caught their attention, but then realized too that it was the wrong date that he were to be assassinated. I caught her attention too.”

“Who?” said the girls.

He showed them the past once more, after he saved Lincoln at Gettysburg. Past Silverbolt was wounded because of the wraiths. Then the Wraiths cleared the way as a new portal opened, and from out of nowhere, an Alicorn showed up, much to the Mane 6 and Spike’s shock.

“Princess Tempora?!!” shouted the ponies and dragon.

“Wait, ya’ll know her?” said a confused Applejack.

“She’s the Princess of Time in Equestria,” said Princess Twilight, then looked at Silverbolt and said “Are you saying that she’s also in charge of this world’s timeline?”

“Ever since magic existed in this world, yeah.” Said Silverbolt, much to their shock.

They saw Tempora walked towards past Silverbolt, studying his face the moment she got closer. She used her magic to turn him into his true from, and within a split second, he turned into his Alicorn form, which surprised her. She began to tear up and instantly ran towards him and hugged him, whilst shedding tears of joy. They were surprised at first, with Princess Twilight looking at him.

“How did she know you?” asked Princess Twilight.

“Well…” said Silverbolt as he looked down a bit, and said “Long ago, she was once Gusty the Great’s daughter…and mine.”

They were shocked to hear this, with pony Rainbow Dash saying “Whoa, whoa, whoa. Princess Tempora, the princess who could control the space/time continuum, is your daughter?!!”

“We had her before I became immortal.” Said Silverbolt “Before…she was taken from us.”

They were surprised about that at first, with Silverbolt looking at them and said “Long story.”

They saw how Tempora introduced herself as the Princess of Time, and Silverbolt’s daughter. He could tell the resemblance, for she almost looks like her mother from a long time ago. The two hugged as they shed tears. They were able to catch up with what was going on, and when past Silverbolt heard that Tempora was taken from him and Gusty, to say he was furious would be an understatement.

They talked for another hour, but then past Silverbolt looked at the device, and realized that there was still more work to be done. He stood up and collected his things whilst turning back to a human.

“Wait,” said Tempora, causing past Silverbolt to stop and look at him. She took a deep breath, and said “I want to help.”

He was a bit surprised by this, but then asked “Are you sure about this?”

“I am.” Said Tempora “Besides, this world has also been tampered with Equestrian Magic, the least I could do is help fix it.”

Past Silverbolt looked down a bit, then looked to her and said “What about Equestria.”

“The Time Wraiths will make sure everything stays the same.” Said Tempora “Right now, I not only want to help. But I also wish to know my father.”

He looked down a bit, and realized that she was right, for this would be a great time to know her. He smiled and looked at her, whilst saying “Alright, you can come along. But can you keep up?”

“I’ll do my best.” She said with determination.

She ran towards him and walked side by side with him, allowing him to use the Time Twirler to open a gate and traveled through it.

But during the nineteenth century, they traveled to England to ensure that everything will be set in motion, even during the Industrial Revolution. But before they went there, they had to help two important inventors. One named Thomas Edison as they helped him study about to light a room without a candle. After much work, they helped him invent a lightbulb, which he got excited over. Next up was Nikolai Tesla, as they helped him create the first ever generator.

Soon they traveled to England and helped Alexander Graham Bell invent the first ever Telephone, whilst also protecting Queen Victoria from those who tried to assassinate her. Then came to what many know as World War I, but to many, the start of something called the Great War. They saw both past Silverbolt and Princess Tempora, in their human forms, going around from place to place to stop the German, Turkish and the Austria-Hungary forces. Soon enough, fought alongside the French and American forces from 1917.

Then came the one thing that he had dreaded the most; World War II. They saw how both Tempora and past Silverbolt were helping the special forces fight them all over Europe in order for the civilians to be safe and to halt their supply lines in order for them to give the rest of the Resistance the chance they needed to defend themselves. What surprised the Rainbooms most was that he even fought alongside the Russians at Stalingrad when the Nazi Reich tried to invade Russia many years ago, even during Pearl Harbor when the Japanese invaded.

But along the way, the invasion of Omaha Beach, where the girls saw that the Nazi had already cannons to make things difficult, but the two of them were able to destroy everything before the Allies invaded. However, to their surprise, when Tempora and past Silverbolt looked at the troops below, they saw Silverbolt’s past self, fighting alongside his fellow soldiers.

“Whoa,” said Rainbow as she couldn’t believe what she was seeing “You really did fight in World War II.”

“I did. It was really terrifying.” Said Silverbolt “I fought alongside many soldiers and lost many whom I had called my own brothers. All of them were like family to me. I fought alongside Penny’s family during that time. I was even friends with four Ryan Brothers.”

“Ryan brothers?” said Fluttershy.

“Ever seen the movie “Saving Private Ryan”?” said Silverbolt, which took them by surprise.

They saw he fought alongside many soldiers, even the ones in Saint-Lo, Paris, and the failed attacks during Operation Market Garden, then helped the Americans find the bridge in order to cross the Rhine.

“You fought alongside so many.” Said Fluttershy “Saved so many lives.”

“I did.” Said Silverbolt “I even played a crucial part to ensure that we would win.”

“What’s that?” asked the Rainbooms, clearly all of them being interested.

He partially looked at them, and said “Who do you think was responsible for Hitler’s assassination.”

The Rainbooms gawked at that, with the Mane 6 being surprised as Pony Rarity said “Whyever would you do that?”

Silverbolt waved an arm, and showed them tons of photos, about the Nazis taking Jewish and Allied soldiers to their camps, makes them work, starves them to death, tortured them, beat them, shot them, made them kill their own men and siblings. And the worst of the worst, stripping of their clothes and belongings and placed them on a pile, whilst they were taken to a different room and all of them were killed by mustard gas.

All of them were horrified by what they witnessed of what they had done.

“If you think Nightmare Moon, Discord, Chrysalis, Sombra, Tirek, the Pony of Shadows and the Storm King were bad.” Said Silverbolt before he looked at them, then said “Then you have never met a man as evil as him.”

He then fast forwarded to a scene, where Allied forces had already begun to invade Berlin, Germany, whilst Hitler was hiding in his bunker with his loyal soldiers guarding every hallway.

They watched as the Nazis were guarding the main door of the bunker, they head a knock. Just at the two investigated, the door blew itself wide open. Past Silverbolt, in his guise, moved forward wielding what appeared to be a samurai sword. The Nazis who saw this tried to shoot back, but to the Rainbooms” surprise, past Silverbolt used his sword to block the bullets as he could see them coming. He cut down two Nazis whilst using his power to push a Nazi hard against the wall, killing him. The next tried to grab him, but past Silverbolt struck him down and continued to move forward, whilst inside, Hitler could hear the gunshots outside.

Past Silverbolt arrived at a different hallway, where more Nazis tried to stop him, but he simply cut them down and used heavy objects to crush them whilst continuing to cut them down before they had the chance to defend themselves. He was at another hallway and continued to kill the last of the Nazis in the second last hall.

Meanwhile, at least ten Nazi soldiers aimed their guns towards the hallway whilst trying to keep an eye out. Suddenly, everything went dark, but they still stood their ground. But when the lights came on, Past Silverbolt was standing there, gripping onto his sword. The Nazi shouted to fire, but past Silverbolt simply moved forward and blocked their shots whilst killing them in the process, not stopping until he was reaching his target.

Hitler was standing there, hearing the gunshots dying down. But not wanting to take any chances, he quickly took his gun and was about to shoot, until to his shock, past Silverbolt stood there, holding his sword and removing his hood, looking directly at the man responsible for so many deaths.

Hitler talked to him in German, which past Silverbolt saying “Oh, I think you know why I’m here.”

Hitler once again threatened him in German, with past Silverbolt saying “I don’t work for your generals or the Allies. I’m here to make you pay for what you did.”

Hitler once again replied harshly in German, with past Silverbolt saying “Don’t give me that garbage. All those innocent lives destroyed, every town and city destroyed. And for what?”

Hitler shouted in German, with past Silverbolt saying “Your threats don’t work on me bub. It didn’t work for the last leaders during the first World War, and it sure as hell won’t work for you now.”

Hitler once again shouted in German, until he pointed his gun, with past Silverbolt instantly aiming his hand at the German leader whilst it was glowing. Hitler saw that his hand was stuck and he couldn’t move his entire body. He looked at past Silverbolt, who had anger in his eyes.

“You,” said past Silverbolt to the German leader “Will never. Hurt anyone. Ever again.”

Past Silverbolt slowly closed his hand and nearly made it into a fist whilst holding it close to his head, whilst at the same time, he controlled Hitler to point the gun to his head, struggling to move. When the barrel of the gun was finally aimed at his head, Hitler looked at past Silverbolt in fear. The moment when Silverbolt grasped his hand into a fist, Hitler shot himself, killing him instantly as he collapsed onto the floor, taking the witnesses by shock.

Past Silverbolt walked over to Hitler’s dead body and said to him “That was for Penny’s grandmother and family you son of a bitch.”

He soon walked away, leaving the dead Nazi soldier.

However, something unexpected happened. The orb he used suddenly fizzled, causing it to show something that not even Silverbolt remembered, which surprised him.

“I don’t remember this.” Said Silverbolt, shocking the girls and two Spikes.

As soon as he was at the outskirts of town, the Allied forces continued to invade Berlin, with past Silverbolt watching.

“Is it done?” said Tempora as she stood next to him.

“Yeah, he’s gone.” Said past Silverbolt. “I still can’t believe that he of all people got infected with Equestrian Magic.”

“It’s unpredictable, that’s for sure.” Said Tempora.

“What about…?” said Past Silverbolt.

“Not to worry.” Said Tempora as she looked at him. “Myself and the Time Wraiths were able to travel through the Cold War, Vietnam War, and the fighting in Iraq. They’re cleared of Equestrian Magic.”

Past Silverbolt looked down and pulled out the Time Twister and said “I still can’t believe someone was stupid enough to use this.”

Tempora looked at that, then to him. She sighed and said “I know who’s responsible.”

He looked at her and said “How?”

“Abacus Cinch.” Said Tempora.

He widened his eyes and turned to her whilst saying “What? How did she get it? And why did she use it?”

“For revenge.” said Tempora.

He was confused by this and said “I don’t understand.”

She opened a portal and showed him the Rainbooms, taking the Rainbooms, two Spikes and Mane 6 by shock.

“These girls are the Rainbooms.” Said Tempora “Comprising of Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, and Sunset Shimmer.”

However, past Silverbolt looked at Sunset, which caused the others to notice. To their surprise, he had a slight blush on his face and placed it against the holographic screen and stared at Sunset. He couldn’t explain…it was as if…cupid had struck him. When all of a sudden…

(Past Silverbolt)

Would you take a good ahead

I stand before a beautiful light

That shines so bright across the land

To guide those out of the dark

It’s a shimmering sunset

(Shimmering sunset)

It’s a shimmering sunset

(Shimmering sunset)

It’s a shimmering sunset

(shimmering sunset)

Who shines so bright beautifully than the day and night

Silverbolt widened his eyes in shock as he couldn’t believe he did that for the couldn’t remember. The girls were all flabbergasted, as he had sung a song for Sunset, out of the blue just like that. As for Sunset, she blushed bright red and felt really flustered. Tempora cleared her throat, making past Silverbolt look at her.

“What’s this about?” said past Silverbolt.

“Back then, she was Princess Celestia’s student, but because of her temper and impatience, she grew cold and bitter, and ran away to the human world, the world where you went.”

Past Silverbolt was surprised by this as Tempora continued.

“She became a school bully at CHS and manipulated everyone there. That was until a new Princess by the name of Twilight Sparkle, came along to get the Element of Magic back, the one Sunset stole.”

“And I assume the moment she tried to harness its power, she turned into a demon?” said past Silverbolt.

“Precisely,” said Tempora, which shocked them that she and past Silverbolt knew, she looked at them and said “With Princess Twilight and the alternate human versions of her friends, they were able to gain the power of Harmony and used it to free her from her demon self. And because of the power of harmony, they helped her realize the error of her ways. Thus she chose to stay behind to make up for what she had done. But the peace didn’t last long.”

“Why not?”

“Because it gained the Sirens” attention.” Said Tempora, which shocked past Silverbolt. “Because of the little light show that happened, it gained their attention, thus they went to CHS to gain their Equestrian Magic. Princess Twilight came back, but she was so focused on the spell…”

“She barely noticed that the others were arguing and nearly chewed each other’s heads off and Sunset got them out of their senses.” Said past Silverbolt. Again they were shocked, with him saying “What? It’s band 101, everyone knows that.”

“Right,” said Tempora with a chuckle “I forgot your passion for music.”

She focused on the image and said “They used the power of Harmony to defeat the Dazzlings. But unfortunately, their little activity, ended up catching her attention.”

Tempora showed him, and in this case the others who witnessed it, the footage of Twilight’s secret lab, and had pictures of CHS and other Geiger counter activity at CHS, which surprised the Rainbooms as they looked at Twilight, which she blushed sheepishly.

“Because of their activity, they ended up gaining her attention. She personally went over there to find out about it so she can study it…and find an excuse to go to an independence program at Everton.”

“Oh, I can’t believe this.” Groaned Past Silverbolt “I knew I should’ve been there. This was exactly the reason why I was guarding the portal during the Cold War, so that no one would be able to harness and study something they don’t understand.”

He then groaned whilst face palming and said “And it’ll be like Chernobyl, all over again.”

Twilight looked down in shame on that.

“But wait,” said Past Silverbolt as he looked at Tempora “Why didn’t she just go there and ask them? A normal person would’ve asked that.”

“Remember, she and Princess Twilight are both alike.” Said Tempora.

“That the two of them are so timid and afraid of making friends that they used their own books to fool around until they received an orgasm?”

Tempora looked at him in shock and disgust, however, the looks on both Twilight and Princess Twilight’s face made them blush bright red in embarrassment, with the rest looking at them in shock.

“You two actually did that?!!” exclaimed Pony Rainbow Dash.

“Trust me,” said Past Silverbolt, gaining their attention as he said “I know their kind. And I knew two ponies who did that in secret.”

“Really?” said a confused Tempora “Who?”

“Princess Celestia and Princess Luna.” Said past Silverbolt, which caused the Mane 6, even Sunset, to gawk in shock with widened eyes and mouth when they looked at him, even the Rainbooms were just as shocked. “Trust me, they’re not as subtle as they think. That and I heard them before I entered the room, even the smell.”

Tempora was a bit disturbed and said “Okay then.”, before she cleared her throat and continued. “Anyway, when she got there, she made a device that could track magic, but she unintentionally made a device that could also absorb their magic too. And during the games, Rainbow Dash used her power to save everyone from a plant monster that somehow came from Equestria. Abacus came along and accused them of cheating, despite her own students being in danger. And Sunset ended up losing her cool over it. And just before the contest they were in were about to start, Abacus threatened and blackmailed Twilight into releasing the magic so that they could win, but she didn’t know how to control it, causing her to be turned into a monster. And what she did…”

He saw how in that form, she was opening portals that led to Equestria, which would have caused her to destroy their worlds. Having no other choice, Sunset took a stand and transformed.

“Sunset was able to stop her and save her, whilst using Equestrian Magic to free her.” Said Tempora “Then Abacus Cinch came along and accused them of cheating during the Games.”

“Are you kidding?” said Past Silverbolt before groaned and said “That bitch still hasn’t changed after all these years.”

“She even threatened to take this to the School Board, despite taking the blame and after calling Twilight a monster, even blackmailed her into doing all this, twice.” Said Tempora.

“That would be a problem,” said Past Silverbolt “Nobody would believe her and think that she’s crazy because magic was dead in this world for 2 centuries, and even if they did, they’d investigate her and blame her for her actions that would’ve caused trouble for Twilight and every student who attended Crystal Prep.”

“Exactly.” Said Tempora “Having no choice, she was forced to quit with what dignity she had left and allowed Cadance to take over.”

“But I assume after the whole magic ordeal, Twilight still had nightmares.” Deduced past Silverbolt.

“She did.” Said Tempora “Soon they went to Camp Everfree, and shortly they gained their powers through Equestrian Magic, especially through the geodes that Gloriosa Daisy had been using because Filthy Rich wanted to tear it down. When she used them, she turned into a monster. It was because of Sunset, Twilight and the rest of their friends, they were able to gain their geodes, as well as their powers, allowing them to become who they needed to be. They saved the camp and in time they became heroes. And ever since Equestrian Magic began to leak through, they vowed to be protectors of the world and save those in it.”

She looked at him and said “For the past year and a half they protected the world from any threat, even from those who wanted to use magic for their own selfish and personal gain, and overtime they triumphed over their adversaries and saved those who needed it.”

Tempora then looked away and said “But Abacus Cinch, went to politics and worked for the mayor. But secretly, she had found an artifact and mind controlled Mayor Mare since after Thanksgiving, and she wanted revenge on the Rainbooms for what they did. So she made sure to sabotage two Christmas parties and made her shut the school down. And even attempted to put the blame on Sunset.”

The more the Rainbooms hear of this, the more horrified they become, even the Mane 6 and the two Spikes when they heard them talking.

“Abacus ended up keeping tabs on them and blackmailed her into leaving this world, or she’d expose them to the public.” Said Tempora “And because of the fact she broke Sunset’s spirit…she became close to well…commit suicide.”

All of them were horrified to hear this, with Past Silverbolt saying “But I assumed that you sent a Guardian Angel to help her?”

“I did.” Said Tempora, which shocked Sunset as she didn’t realize Tempora saved her “After she showed Sunset what would happen, she immediately wanted to go back and fix things. And with the help of Princess Twilight, everyone stood up for her and defended her from Cinch. Just when she wanted to expose them, it turned out she didn’t work alone.”

She looked at him and said “She made a deal with the Dazzlings, that if they were to sabotage the parties, and shut the school down, then they’d have their revenge on the Rainbooms. After destroying the artifact and freeing Mayor Mare, they arrested Cinch and took her to jail.”

She looked at the ripples and said “But then she escaped and found the Time Twister, the one that Starswirl foolishly abandoned.”

Past Silverbolt was shocked to hear this. Then muttered in anger and said “Starswirl. You had it with you the entire time? You idiot.”

“Ever since she found it and discovered how it worked.” Said Tempora “She attempted to go back in time and stop them, but she knew the magic of friendship would be resistant to it, so by traveling, she ended up making sure they didn’t have the geodes and that Gloriosa would still have them, even restored the Dazzlings” gems. But at the same time, it affected both Sunset and Twilight too, that caused their darkness to resurface and nearly take control of them.”

Everyone was shocked to hear this and what Cinch had done.

“Wait, what?” said past Silverbolt “But how is that possible? I thought the Magic of Friendship protected them like it did to the rest of the Rainbooms.”

“Remember,” said Tempora as she reminded him whilst looking at him, as did the others when they focused what she said “It was because of Equestrian Magic that turned both Sunset and human Twilight into demon monsters, and it was because of Equestrian Magic that it freed them not just from their darkness, but from themselves, thus they were changed people and that’s what allowed them to wield the magic of friendship and became better. But if you say removed both events of Equestrian Magic affecting them, and that the magic of friendship didn’t accept them…”

“They automatically revert back to their original state,” said a surprised past Silverbolt when he came to a conclusion, which surprised the rest of the Rainbooms “Twilight still remained timid, scared and anti-social, whilst Sunset still remained cold, cruel and a bully.”

“Precisely.” Said Tempora.

“So that’s what happened!!” exclaimed Pinkie Pie.

“What happened?” said Pony Applejack.

“When Cinch used the Time Twister,” said Fluttershy “I was unaffected. Same with Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Rarity and Pinkie Pie. But Sunset still remained a bully. But before that, both Sunset and Twilight’s darkness were slowly trying to take them over, as if they were trying to protect them and tried to warn them that the past was changing.”

They were surprised to hear this, even the Mane 6 and two Spikes.

“But they weren’t the only ones affected,” said Tempora, gaining their attention “Princess Twilight was also affected.”

“What? How?” said past Silverbolt.

“Different worlds, different timelines.” Explained Tempora “When the Rainbooms told Princess Twilight what was happening, she deduced that the Time Twister was being used. And as a result, the Rainbooms never gained their geodes and lost that extra boost of power, the Dazzling’s gems were never destroyed and Cinch was never fired from Crystal Prep Academy. But the moment time was reverted, so was she.”

“So she was no longer a princess?”

“No, she’s still a princess.” Said Tempora “But she was reverted to the day she first came here, the day Sunset stole the Element of Magic and Fluttershy found it.”

“Aw, shit.” Said past Silverbolt “That would mean everything she did in Equestria was also undone.”

“Exactly.” Said Tempora “And I’m afraid Cinch plans to do something drastic.”

“Like what?”

“If we don’t find a way to stop her, she’ll travel back in time further and she will make sure that Sunset Shimmer is never born, even Twilight given the chance.”

They were horrified to learn this, but then she said “And it’s essential that Sunset does exist.”

“How so?”

Tempora had a troubled look on her face, then told him. “You see…”

· Because Sunset had never been born, Trixie would’ve lost her confidence into becoming a magician and ended up becoming a bookworm.
· Derpy, because of her constant bullying that she was forced to endure, she became a street thug and did much harm to others around her.
But that’s not what shocked them the most.

· Because of the fact that Rainbow couldn’t raise CHS” spirits after losing so many times of the Friendship Games, Principle Celestia and Vice-Principle Luna gave up running the school, causing Abacus Cinch to take it over and turned it into a Western Branch of Crystal Prep, where the students were beyond miserable.
· Cinch continued to run half of Canterlot City with an Iron Fist whilst the Dazzlings, seeing that no one noticed them, ended up taking over the world with their magic and agreed to have Cinch keep her free will so that she can do whatever she wanted.
· And because that Equestrian Magic hadn’t leaked through because of human Twilight, Camp Everfree was doomed and Gloriosa Daisy and Timber Spruce could no longer keep the camp open, allowing Filthy Rich to tear it down and turned it into an outer town spa.
And what he revealed horrified them all.

· Because Sunset wasn’t around, Pinkie Pie had lost her confidence in helping others to become happy, causing her to be unhappy and was afraid to be judged and ended up losing her smile forever.
· And if Sunset didn’t change the bake sale date, Rainbow would’ve met Lightning Dust, causing Lightning to use her and in the end, ended up accusing Rainbow of cheating, making her a pariah of CHS, and would end up getting banned and everyone, including Scootaloo, would abandon her, and was reduced to a water girl.
· Because Sunset hadn’t been around to warn Applejack about their trees being poisoned, they lost their entire field and would be on the verge of bankruptcy, forcing them to be partners with Flim and Flam. So they had to send Apple Bloom away to Appaloosa so that she could continue with her education whilst Applejack and Big Mac were forced to lie and sell stuff, losing themselves along the whilst Granny Smith was in the hospital, with Flim and Flam paying her medical bill, and if Applejack didn’t do what they said, they’d kill her by pulling her plug.
· Because Sunset hadn’t been around to help Rarity with her job at Carousel Boutique, she was fired and forever disgraced by the fashion world no thanks to Suri Polomare, whilst Cinch used a magical artifact to control her parents, throwing her out on the street and was forced to live in a dumpster and became cruel.
· Because Sunset hadn’t been around to save Fluttershy from Gilda, she ended up beating Fluttershy to a pulp and killed her beloved pet Angel Bunny, turning her into a cruel and malevolent person, became a gang leader and ended up brining the streets of Canterlot City to their knees and would cause trouble for others when she thought her friends, namely Rainbow, had abandoned her.
· Because Sunset not being born, Princess Celestia ended up passing her mistakes to Princess Twilight, and because of her unhealthy thirst for knowledge, she ended up learning dark magic and made a deal with all of the villains in Equestria, only for her to betray them and ended up banishing Princess Celestia to the sun permanently, and because there was no Element of Magic bearer, the Elements of Harmony were rendered useless as her friends died in the onslaught whilst Princess Twilight destroyed all of Equestria and turned into Midnight Sparkle and ended up attempting to take over their world and get revenge on the Dazzlings for betraying her.
· As for human Twilight, because Sunset hadn’t been around, every student from CPA continued to resent her and made her isolate in loneliness. And because of her CPA had lost the Friendship Games for the first time, making everyone hate her even more as Cinch had started her torment and made sure no academy would ever accept her, whilst Cinch fired Cadance when she tried to protect Twilight whilst her dog spike…had to be put to sleep because Cinch discovered him. And because of it, human Twilight had committed suicide when she no longer had the will to live.
Tempora then concluded “And that’s what would’ve happened if she was never born.”

Past Silverbolt was horrified to have learned this, even his present self, along with the Rainbooms, Mane 6 and two Spikes.

“They owe her far more than they realize.” Said Tempora “Sunset was supposed to have come here. If she didn’t, the Dazzlings and Cinch would take over the world and those they helped and saved and made better, would be destroyed.”

They saw past Silverbolt clenched his fists in rage and fury, for what Cinch had done, had gone too far.

“That bitch.” Said Past Silverbolt, whilst he suddenly had his body charged with electricity and trembled in anger as his rage grew “That bitch.”

“If we don’t stop her,” said Tempora “She’ll succeed.” Said Tempora “But there’s something else.”

“Like what?” said Past Silverbolt whilst he was slowly calming down.

“Starlight Glimmer is attempting to change the timeline too.” Said Tempora, much to his shock “The Time Wraiths want to kill her too. Even though she has been redeemed, they still want to punish her, but I told them that the one responsible wasn’t her, but Cinch.”

Past Silverbolt thought about this, then looked at her and said “If were to save the future, then Abacus Cinch must die.”

They were shocked by this as he said “Besides, she made this damn personal.”

“Got any ideas?” said Tempora.

He looked at her and said “We’ll go back in time to the part before Abacus attempted to travel. Then we’ll combine my Time Twister with hers, so that she’ll never use it. Cause I tampered with it that only I can use.”

“Is that your final decision?” asked Tempora.

Past Silverbolt nodded and said “Do it.”

She then used her power, as Past Silverbolt used the Time Twister and traveled in time to stop Abacus once and for all.

**************************************************************************************************

They fast forwarded to the part where Abacus had found the Time Twister and activated it. When she saw this, she had a wicked smile on her and was about to travel.

They were shocked to see Cinch using the Time Twister. Just as she was about to step through the portal, past Silverbolt appeared from out of nowhere, jumped over her and grabbed it, much to her shock. He landed and then they saw him use the Time Twisters and combined them, making sure that there were no lose ends, whilst using the power to shut the portal down for good.

“What are you doing?!” shouted Cinch “Give that…”

Within an instant, past Silverbolt drew his sword at her, much to her shock as she took a step back. Silverbolt was shocked to see his past self-facing Abacus as he couldn’t remember any of this, which the girls noticed.

“You’ve gone too far Abacus!!” shouted past Silverbolt “But this ends now.”

“And who are you supposed to be?” demanded Cinch.

Past Silverbolt removed his hood and face mask, revealing his face as he said “The same man who got your father fired. Twice.”

She was shocked to see Silverbolt, for she recognized him all those years ago.

“You!” shouted Abacus “You were the reason I was expelled.”

“And for good reason.” said past Silverbolt “All you ever cared about was winning and you hurt those who wanted to be friends. I didn’t create the friendship games just so that you could slander its good name.”

“I deserve to be praised.” said Abacus “I deserve to win.”

“And at what cost?” said past Silverbolt. He placed the artifact behind his back and made it disappear, so that Abacus wouldn’t try anything. “I know you wanted to travel back in time to stop the Rainbooms.”

“They were the reason I was fired!!” said Abacus.

“Because you endangered both worlds!!” said past Silverbolt “You blackmailed Twilight into joining the games when she didn’t want any part of it. You threatened her and made her release Equestrian Magic that she had no knowledge of or learned how to control it.”

“How did you know…” said Abacus before Silverbolt cut her off.

“Think about it.” said past Silverbolt.

She the pondered, then realized in shock. “You. You came from the same world that Shimmer brat came from.”

“And lived in this world for a hundred years.” said past Silverbolt. “I’ve seen what you did. And you had the gall to think you were right when you were responsible for all of this.”

“It was because of them I got fired.” said Abacus “And I will set things right.”

“By taking away what they forged?” said Silverbolt “The lives they changed, the differences they made, the times they saved their world? But you don’t care who you have to hurt just to get what you want.”

The look on Abacus” face indicated he was right, much to the Rainbooms and the Mane 6’s shock, even both Spikes.

“I’ve already seen what happens when Sunset didn’t come to this world.” said past Silverbolt “Her friends would be doomed to fall and live in a life of misery, and because of your little time traveling scheme, you ended up corrupting the entire timeline, which nearly destroyed the world. But you don’t care about the consequences that would follow.”

He gripped his hands and said “You’re just as twisted as your father, all what you cared about were your careers. If you didn’t care about the kids then why did you take a teaching job in the first place? A Principle should know when to put the kids first.”

“I will do whatever it takes to make sure that they pay and all of them will suffer.” said Abacus.

“I heard all that talk before.” said past Silverbolt in disgust “You’re not the first one I faced who said that.”

He looked at her in anger and said “How far you’ve fallen Cinch. You were told to leave with what dignity you have and you wasted it for nothing.”

He slowly approached her. Cinch didn’t move, but she could feel her own fear, and she was afraid of him because she could see his magical aura.

“See from what I learned about the humans this world ever since I came here.” said past Silverbolt “The people, they are who they are, no matter how hard you try. You are what you are. And you will attempt to do this again the moment when their backs are turned and their guard is lowered.”

The Rainbooms could see the death stare he was giving Abacus, even the Mane 6. Princess Twilight and Sunset noticed that Silverbolt was shocked as he saw his past self-moving towards her.

“I will…” said Abacus before past Silverbolt cut her off.

“And trust me I’m an expert.” said past Silverbolt “You say you won’t but you will do it anyway. Maybe in a month, or a year, or ten. But in the end the other shoe will drop.”

He placed his hand behind his back and said “It always does.”

Within a split second, past Silverbolt grabbed Abacus and jabbed her, taking her by shock as she grunted. “You feel that don’t you?” said past Silverbolt.

To the Rainbooms and Mane 6, even both Spikes” shock, past Silverbolt had a knife and he jabbed her in the stomach.

“That’s for Twilight and Sunset.” said Silverbolt “And everybody else that you hurt you bitch.”

He pulled the knife out and pushed her, making Cinch drop on the ground holding her gut. She looked at him in fear.

“So, what will you do now? Kill me?” said Abacus.

Past Silverbolt placed the knife behind his back and said “No Abacus. I’m not that petty. Others kill for the pleasure, thinking that they were beneath them. I kill when they leave me no other choice.”

At first Cinch looked relieved, until past Silverbolt smiled mischievously and said “But they on the other hand.”

She looked behind and to her shock, she saw ghost like beings who were slowly approaching her.

“Meet the Time Wraiths.” said Silverbolt “They’re sort of protectors to the timeline. They make sure that time and space remains as they run its course. And they hate it when someone disrupts and nearly destroys the timeline. And guess who they want a piece of the one who caused it.”

Cinch was shocked and realized it was her, causing the Wraiths to approach her. She looked at Silverbolt as he said “You know the old saying; you provided the entertainment, now it’s time to pay the bloody piper.”

“No!! Please!!” begged Abacus “You can’t let them do this to me!! You have to help me!! Please!! I’m begging you!!”

But past Silverbolt merely kept a cold stare on her and said “Sorry bitch. Can’t take any chances with you whilst Destiny’s still pulling on your strings.”

Within a split second, she screamed in pain as the Time Wraiths grabbed her whilst their claws pierced through her skin, with the Rainbooms, the two Spikes and the Mane 6 watching in shock as they were dragging Cinch away, whilst past Silverbolt

She continued to scream “Help me!! Help me you bastard!! I will not be…!!”

Past Silverbolt suddenly took out what looked like a gun and shot her, killing her instantly, whilst at the same time, they dragged her soul away, which shocked the girls as she disappeared.

Past Silverbolt sighed with a heavy heart and said “That, was unnerving.”, before he literally turned her body to ash as they were scattered to the wind.

He then slowly turned and saw three more Time Wraiths, all of them waiting for something. Until one of them pointed at the Time Twister. He took it out and took a good look at it. He realized what they were implying. He sighed with a heavy heart.

“I know this should be destroyed,” said past Silverbolt “But I can’t…it…was made by someone who saved my life. I want to keep this as a momentum.”

Before the Wraiths could retaliated, he said “However, I’m offering a solution.”

He looked at the Wraiths and said “Drain its power completely until its nothing but an empty shell. Use the Equestrian Magic to make sure that no one will use the timeline for their own selfish gain ever again.”

The wraiths contemplated what he said, looked one another and nodded in agreement. They extended their hands and absorbed all of the Time Twister’s magic, causing to be a useless trinket. They soon departed and entered the portal. But at the same time, Princess Tempora appeared.

“So, pray tell.” Said Rarity “Who is this, Princess Tempora?”

“Princess Tempora is the Princess of time.” said pony Rarity “She was distorted and confused, causing all of space and time to be reduced to madness. But thanks to us we were able to restore her and save her. Last time we saw her she went to make friends of her own.”

They saw Tempora stood near past Silverbolt. Then smiled with a softened expression and hugged him, with him hugging her back.

“Thank you for your help.” said Tempora “I could not have restored the timeline without you.”

“Same to you.” said past Silverbolt. They broke the hug as he looked at her. “Your mother would be proud. As am I.”

“Thank you,” said Tempora, then she said something that took them by shock “Father.”

They were touched by this scene, with Pinkie Pie asking “So how did you become a father?”

“Before I became immortal,” said Silverbolt, gaining their attention “Both Gusty and I had shared a hut together. Then we soon conceived a child. But…they took her away.”

“Who?” asked the two Spikes.

“Time Watchers.” said Silverbolt “They make sure the timeline is followed as planned. But they needed someone to control it. So, they chose Tempora…and they took her from us.”

They were shocked once more, with Princess Twilight remembering that she witnessed her being the master of time and space when she was just a filly, which explained everything. They then focused on Tempora and past Silverbolt.

“The timeline has been saved.” said past Silverbolt.

“Not yet I’m afraid.” said Tempora “Cinch had tampered with the timeline, meaning Princess Twilight, Sunset and their friends are still in danger. We will need to find a way to restore them.”

Past Silverbolt pondered it for a few moments, then smiled and said “I have something in mind.”

· They saw how, to their shock, he saved them with a magic shield that protected them from She-Demon Sunset. And to their shock, how he personally transferred all of the magic from the crown to them, which caused them to pony up.
· They saw how he gave them the power to beat the Dazzlings, and how he secretly convinced Sunset to be a part of the team and helped them save the day.
· They saw, to Sunset’s shock, he was the one who gave half of all his power to help her transform into her daydream form in order to help Twilight from her own fate.
· Then to their shock, they saw how he was the one who drew Equestrian Magic from the portal and brought them to Camp Everfree so that they could achieve them on their own.
· They saw how Silverbolt and Tempora arrange for both the Shadowbolts and Rarity to be in the same room, which caused her to overhear things.
· Then came the part where he accidentally got them in the set of the Power Ponies and got dressed in costumes. Tempora couldn’t help but smirk as she looked at him with a flexed eyebrow, which caused Silverbolt to feel embarrassed, whilst the Rainbooms were surprised that he was the one who accidentally sent them there.
· Then came the part where he secretly convinced Starlight to go with Sunset, and convinced her to convince Juniper Montage to change her ways because she understood what it felt like to want revenge.
· Then came the part where he gave the Rainbooms an upgrade to help them stop Wallflower and Destroy the Memory Stone.
· Then came the part where he tried to help Applejack and Rarity see some sense when they questioned each other’s friendship during Equestria Land.
· They saw, to their shock, how both Tempora and Silverbolt created a portal to Equestria in the middle of an island during their Spring Break.
· Then came the part where they tried to help Sunset realize of having fun with Pinkie instead of on her own when she got stuck in the Time Twirler’s power.
******************************************************************************************************

The finally, came the parts where, to Princess Twilight’s shock, Tempora was the one who used her power to influence Twilight into opening the School of Friendship.

Then…came the part where Sunset had a scholarship to Manehattan University.

“Well,” said Tempora “Looks like everything is back to normal.”

However, Past Silverbolt had a different look on his face, for he knew that it was from there on, that Cinch had tampered with the timeline, and this time, he had something else in mind. He waved his hand, causing something to change, taking everyone by surprise.

“What did you do?” asked Tempora.

“Watch.” said past Silverbolt.

They saw in the past that Sunset had sit down with the Rainbooms at Sugarcube Corner.

“So, I was offered a scholarship at Manehattan University.” said past Sunset as the Rainbooms cheered. But then the Mane 6 and Rainbooms and the two Spikes saw past Silverbolt smiling and placing two fingers against his head, and suddenly spoke through her.

“But I turned it down.” said past Sunset.

“What?!” said the Rainbooms, even the one who witnessed it were shocked.

Past Sunset looked down as the ones present saw Silverbolt moving his mouth whilst past Sunset said “Ever since I came to this world, all I ever cared about was power and wanted to be a Princess more than anything. I hurt so many people and broke apart friendships. I even hurt all of you.”

Past Sunset looked at them and said “But ever since Princess Twilight helped me see the light, I worked hard every day trying to make things right, trying to apologize and fix everything I’ve ever done. And since Equestrian Magic leaked into this world, we continued to help those in need.”

Past Sunset shed tears as past Silverbolt continued to speak for her “But through such a long time, we had so much fun, so many adventures and so many memories that we made. The good, the bad, we came through all of them because we were together. If we were to go to college someday, I wanted all of us to go…together. We became more than friends. You girls became my sisters, you girls became my family. The only family I ever had and loved ever since Princess Twilight helped me realize how important friendship is. I couldn’t imagine and dream a life without all of you in it. And when the time comes when we graduate, I hope we’ll continue to go on many adventures…together.”

Sunset was shocked that past Silverbolt was the one who made her say that, even Silverbolt. But, to their surprise, the past Rainbooms began to shed tears.

“Aw, Sunny.” said past Pinkie Pie as she hugged Sunset whilst smiling.

“We couldn’t imagine our lives without you in it either.” whimpered past Fluttershy with a smile.

“You became such a big part in our lives,” said past Rarity whilst wiping her tears away. “We wouldn’t dream of going on without you either.”

Past Applejack also wiped her tears away as she said “And if ya’ll didn’t come, we wouldn’t have this moment.”

Even past Rainbow couldn’t hold it in. “Even…even if it’s hard not to feel scared about it.”

She hugged past Sunset, who appreciated it. Past Sunset looked at past Twilight and said “And it’s also great you’re a part of this Twilight. We can’t imagine our lives without you in it.”

Past Twilight shed tears and began to hug her too and said “If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have friendship in my heart. I really care about all of you too.”

The past Rainbooms had a tearful and happy group hug, with past Silverbolt smiling as Tempora looked at him surprised whilst he said “Like it should be.”

Tempora couldn’t help but smile at her father. For in a way, it felt right.

****************************************************************************************************

Within a short while, they bumped into the Time Watchers and told them everything, especially the part where past Silverbolt was mad that they took both Gusty and his” daughter away. But they ignored that part when the Time Watchers realized that they were the ones responsible for helping the Rainbooms and the Mane 6.

“You tampered with the events from the beginning!! You manipulated them and you influenced their choices” said one Watcher.

“That’s a violation to everything we stand for.” said the second Watcher “In other words…”

“You cheated!!” shouted the two at the same time, which caused Tempora and past Silverbolt to laugh.

“Yes, we may have cheated,” said Tempora with a smirk.

“But we can assure you that their choices and the decisions they made were their own.” said past Silverbolt.

“You two do realize that the Mane 6 are both your responsibilities from now on.” said the first Watcher, taking the Mane 6 by shock.

“As are the Rainbooms, now that Equestrian Magic exists in this world.” said the second Watcher, which shocked the Rainbooms.

“Oh, we know.” said Tempora playfully.

“But then again…” said past Silverbolt.

“We know, everything.” said the two of them combined. Until past Silverbolt walked up and grabbed the two Watchers by their throats.

“The next time someone attempts to tamper with the timeline for their own selfish gains, I expect to see results when you two do your jobs, understood?”

The two watchers nodded, knowing full well not to underestimate him, causing the two to leave before they make him any angrier.

************************************************************************************************

They then saw past Silverbolt and Tempora standing at the Canadian Rockies, where past Silverbolt was supposed to be on tour.

“I’m really glad to have met you Tempora.” said past Silverbolt “I’m glad to see the timeline is in good hands.”

“As are both worlds.” said Tempora “Though they did have a point. The Guardians of Harmony from both worlds are both our responsibilities.”

“I don’t mind actually.” said past Silverbolt “Seeing that they’ve done so much for both our worlds, I think it’s only fair we become their guiding hand, as well as hoof.”

“On that we can agree.” said Tempora before she and past Silverbolt chuckled.

“So.” said past Silverbolt “What’s gonna happen now.”

“Well,” said Tempora “Part of protocol means that your memories of helping the Mane 6 and Rainbooms have to be erased, even all knowledge of them, as well as Cinch, now that she no longer exists in this world.”

“Oh.” said past Silverbolt as he lowered his head, which shocked the Mane 6 and Rainbooms, even the two Spikes, for no wonder he didn’t recognize them when he first met them.

“But…” said Tempora, gaining his attention as she had a teary smile “I won’t erase your memory of me.”

He was a bit surprised by this. She continued and said “I just met my father, one that I got to know during our travels. I got to learn what mother was like. I don’t want to lose you again.”

He couldn’t help but smile and said “Thank you.”

The two of them hugged, embracing one another. “But one more thing.” said Tempora.

She whispered something into his ear, to which Silverbolt widened his eyes in shock, for he remembered what she told him, causing him to move swiftly towards one of his artifacts whilst the rest continued to watch what happened in the past.

Past Silverbolt smile and said “I’ll see you soon. Next time come for a visit.”

“I look forward to it.” Said Tempora as she kissed her father on the forehead and used her magic to erase the memory of his knowledge of the Mane 6, the Rainbooms and what he did to Abacus. “Goodbye father.”

Tempora soon leaves and steps through the portal, with Past Silverbolt slowly opening his eyes and sighs, whilst he decided to continue with the tour.

***************************************************************************************************

The entire vision of the past soon ends as the orb returns back to the table. The two Spikes, Mane 6 and the Rainbooms were all shocked to see this, for the entire time, both Silverbolt and Tempora had been helping them the whole time.

“He was there…since the very beginning?” said Princess Twilight in shock and disbelief.

“Wow,” said Spike “He really is a hero.”

“I’ll say.” Said Dragon Spike.

“I…I don’t know what to…” said Rarity before she was cut off.

They saw Silverbolt walking towards both Twilight and Sunset, with extreme seriousness in his eyes, which got them nervous for some reason.

“Uh, Silverbolt?” asked Sunset in a worried tone “Are you…?”

But then he revealed his hands whilst wearing gauntlets with sharp claws at the fingertips, which shocked the girls.

“Uh, what are you…?” said Twilight as she was now scared.

Within a split second, he plunged both the claws into both Sunset and Twilight, which shocked them and everyone from what they were seeing. But there wasn’t any blood, for there was something pure Equestrian Energy. Within a split second, he pulled something out and tossed it aside, hard, onto what appeared to be an ancient arena. He took off the gloves and marched towards them.

“What the hay did he just do?!” exclaimed Applejack.

“Ah don’t know, but ah reckon were gonna find you.” Said Pony Applejack as all of them ran towards the edge.

They saw Silverbolt walking towards the edge of the arena, wondering what he was doing. But then they saw a few entities at the center, slowly getting up. And what they saw, they didn’t expect, for much to their shock, but to Sunset and Twilight’s horror, were the entities they thought they’d never see again.

Meanset She-Demon, and Midnight Sparkle.

“Huh, where are we?” said She-Demon Sunset.

“How did we get here?” said Midnight Sparkle.

The two of them suddenly saw the Rainbooms and the Mane 6, but what really caught their attention was Sunset and Twilight.

“Well, look who it is.” Said Meanset She-Demon Sunset with an evil smile.

“Looks like we get to have another round after all.” Said Midnight Sparkle.

Sunset and Twilight were terrified, with the rest of their friends getting ready for a fight.

“Soon, everything will be…” said Meanset She-Demon.

Cutting her off was a silver lightning bolt, which surprised them when they took a step back. When they looked, they saw Silverbolt, standing before them whilst he aimed his hand at them, revealing some small sparks of silver lightning bolts from his fingers.

“Leave them alone.” Said Silverbolt as he had his head lowered, then looked at them with an icy stare and said “You wanna fight someone, fight me.”

The two merely chuckled whilst the others thought he was crazy.

“You think you can fight us?” said Meanset She-Demon.

“How can a lowly boy like you fight us?” said Midnight Sparkle.

Silverbolt merely smirked and said “Both of you haven’t done your homework lately have you?”

His body slowly began to charge up with silver lightning all over his body, which surprised many when they saw him. At the same time, four separate large pools appeared, filled with rocks, lava, water and metal parts.

“My name is Silverbolt of Equestria.” Said Silverbolt as his eyes began to flash too “And you two are done.”

With great speed, he charged straight towards them, taking them by shock as he stood between them, elbowed them in the gut, then back handed their faces, grabbed their shirts and bashed their heads towards one another, then electrocuted them with his silver lightning bolts. Then he jumped in the air and he kicked them both, making them skid halfway.

The two Spikes, the Mane 6 and the Rainbooms gawked and watched in shock when they saw Silverbolt’s true power at work.

The two monsters got up and looked at him angry.

“You think you can best me?!” shouted Meanset She-Demon “I will make short work of you!!”

She created a fireball and threw it at Silverbolt, which shocked the others. But the moment the fire made impact, it suddenly surrounded him. He looked at her and said “You call that fire?”

He stood in position whilst leaning his head backwards, whilst shouted “THIS IS FIRE!!!”

He threw his head forward and blew fire from his mouth whilst roaring like a dragon, which got Spike to drop his jaw in shock from what he was seeing, which ended up knocking Midnight Sparkle away, whilst at the same time, Silverbolt wiped a single drop of sweat from his brow.

“You look a little hot.” Said Silverbolt “Let me cool you off.”

He flicked a piece of his sweat towards, with the She-Demon laughing and said “Seriously? What would that…?”

When all of a sudden, the drop turned into a water bomb, making her fly backwards and hard onto the ground, taking everyone by shock, even Princess Twilight was in awe, seeing the legend at work.

Midnight Sparkle got up and said “Oh, you little…!!”

She fired her energy blast at Silverbolt, until he summoned lava and shielded himself from harm, whilst at the same time, he summoned a large boulder and snapped it into smaller rocks, allowing him to use it as throwing objects, striking her from all over her body as she fell backwards.

Meanset She-Demon got up, but before she could react, Silverbolt teleported next to her and used his power to summon the pieces of metal and covered his hand, turning it into a type of boxing glove and punched her hard, making her collapse onto the ground. He then summoned two balls made of air and used them to engulf both the demons and spun them around before tossing them aside.

The two demons finally had enough as they were enraged.

“That’s it!!” shouted Midnight Sparkle.

“You’re dead!!” shouted Meanset She-Demon.

The two of them fired their powers at the same time, causing Silverbolt to be engulfed by it. But then they saw him fly in the air as he was suddenly surrounded by his aura. To the Mane 6’s shock, they saw their Elements of Harmony surrounding him, causing them to combine with him. At the same time, the Rainbooms” geodes fired all their magic to him, taking them by shock. Silverbolt was engulfed by its power. When the light was a little dimmer, they saw, to their awe, he was wearing golden armour and golden wings, making him the symbol of harmony itself.

Before the two monsters could react, he fired the rainbow beams against them, making them collapse onto the ground, then he used his power to bend the earth in order to trap them, making only their heads stick out. As Silverbolt was close enough, he placed his thumbs against both their foreheads as they saw his look of determination.

“I’m taking away your powers. For good.” Said Silverbolt.

The two monsters struggled, until everyone saw his eyes glowed, as well as the two monsters, with him using the Equestrian Magic of Harmony to wipe away their powers. Once he was done, they lowered their heads and panting, no longer being able to feel their power.

Silverbolt took a few steps back and said “It’s over.”

Everyone was in shock and awe of this action, especially him wielding the Elements of harmony as if they were an extension of his power.

“Sweet Celestia.” Muttered Princess Twilight “He really did create the Elements of Harmony. As if he was Harmony itself.”

Silverbolt then looked at both Sunset and Twilight, and signaled them to come down. They were surprised at first, but they did. They soon stood near him, whilst also a little nervous near their dark sided counterparts.

“This is your chance.” Said Silverbolt, which confused the two. “Both of them were responsible for what happened to you. Even though Equestrian Magic was involved, it brought out the worst part of you. Now’s the time.”

They looked at them, and realized that he was right. Sunset was the first to walk up to her darkness, gaining her attention.

“Well, look who it is,” said Meanset “How wonderful. Have you finally come to join me again?”

Sunset kept her head lowered, not wanting to look at her.

“Please say yes.” Said the She-Demon “We don’t need friendship, we can get what we want by ruling the world. We can show them what we can do. All you have to do is to join me and we can…”

“No.”

Meanset looked at her confused and said “What?”

“I said NO!!!” shouted Sunset.

She instantly slapped her darkness, taking everyone, minus Silverbolt, by shock when they saw her do that. Meanset looked at Sunset in shock.

“I was a normal pony,” said Sunset “All I ever wanted was to be happy. I could’ve been patient like Celestia asked me to do. But because of you, like the voice at the back of my head, you made me angry and impatient, you made her hate me.”

Meanset continued to stare at Sunset as she said “You made me run away from the only home I’ve ever known, turned my back on everything what Princess Celestia and the Founders of Equestria stood for, driving wedges between people I didn’t even know or care, and ended up risking exposing Equestria to this world. And when I put on the crown, you came out, you turned me into a monster.”

She looked down as she gripped her fist “I still have a long way to go. But now look where I am ever since Princess Twilight and the others freed me. I gained friends, I gained a home, I became normal. Sure I was responsible for bringing magic to this world, but as long as I have friends by my side, I will protect this world. I won’t let you use me anymore. I’m free to become my own person, a better person, and there’s nothing you can do to change that.”

Twilight was taken aback by this, as she saw Sunset standing up to her own darkness. She looked at Midnight Sparkle. For weeks she had haunted her before she went to Camp Everfree. Now she’ll have the chance to face her demons.

“So, you finally come to see me.” Said Midnight before chuckling, then said “Are you finally going to admit that with my help you can get everything you want?”

She gripped both her fists, for a long time Midnight had been a plague to her, and robbed her of her true happiness.

“I already do.” Said Twilight, confusing Midnight. “Ever since I was at Crystal Prep, I’ve always been alone. I didn’t have anyone to love and support me for who I am. I may have my parents, my brother and Cadance, but I was lonely.”

She looked at Midnight and said “And because of my own ignorance and curiosity, I ended up putting everyone in danger and took what didn’t belong to me. Then my old Principle blackmailed me into releasing the magic, nearly making me destroy the world, and she had the gall to call me a monster because of her.”

She looked at Midnight and said “But since I came to CHS, I finally got what I really wanted; friends. We did everything together and because of them I got over my insecurities. But the more threats there are, the more I didn’t want this anymore, thinking that what I did was my fault. But from what Silverbolt revealed, I really was responsible for what I did. But that means I won’t give up, not now, not ever. Therefore, I’ll continue to make up for my mistake and I will continue to help those in need. And that’s not a wish, that’s a promise. I don’t need you anymore Midnight, you’re just a sad phony who doesn’t have anything better to do. You’re finished.”

Both Midnight and Meanset growled, furious by their answers.

“If you will not join us.” Said Midnight.

“If you will not side with us.” Said Meanset.

“Then we’ll have to kill you!!” shouted them both.

The two of them got free and pounced, but before they could react, Silverbolt suddenly grabbed their wrists, taking the two monsters by shock when Silverbolt was holding them back and made sure the silver lightning chains stayed where they were supposed to be, with Silverbolt looking at them enraged, with Sunset and Twilight surprised to see this, whilst the rest quickly rushed over to make sure that they were okay.

“Sorry, but both your lucks have run out.” Said Silverbolt before aiming both his palms at them.

There was a moment of silence as the monsters stared down at him, with Silverbolt still kept a blank stare. Then he said “May you two be forever forgotten. Requiescat en pace. Haikai.”

There was a pulse that engulfed the two, before they glowed bright and screamed in pain and agony. With the power of harmony, both Meanset and Midnight were slowly being erased from existence, which surprised them as they saw Silverbolt finally disposing of them. He took a deep breath and turned to Sunset and Twilight.

“How do you two feel?” asked Silverbolt.

Sunset and Twilight suddenly felt different as Sunset said “Something’s…different. I feel calm and in peace.”

“Same here.” Said Twilight “It’s an amazing feeling.”

They were surprised for what he did, and Silverbolt truly lived up to the legend.

************************************************************************************************

After they exited the cave, the Mane 6 and Rainbooms were quiet. But the moment they got out. Princess Twilight spoke.

“You…you were there with us the entire time and beginning.” said Princess Twilight “You watched over us and guided us and we didn’t realize it.”

He turned around as the girls were looking at him, for even though he didn’t meet or knew them until recent events, thanks to the orb, he remembers.

“You made sure we would achieve our destinies and we didn’t even know it.” said Sunset “You’re not just a hero back then…you’re a hero now. You saved us and made sure we would have a future.”

“I know I shouldn’t have intervened.” said Silverbolt when he faced them. “But I couldn’t stand the thought of anything happen to you. Plus, I knew all of you had potential ever since all of you were little. You saved and helped so many lives. That is why you are considered legends. Plus, I did what I had to do. I just followed my gut.”

Fluttershy and Pony Fluttershy were the first ones to hug him, whilst smiling and sniffled.

“You helped made us what we are.” said Fluttershy “You’re more than a hero, you’re our guardian, who watched over us from the beginning.”

“Thank you.” said pony Fluttershy with sniffles “Thank you.”

The rest came and hugged him to. For he truly is a hero to them all.

Author's Note

And there you have it, Silverbolt, who had been there for them for the very beginning. Who knows what else could happen?

Also, to note, half of the places that Silverbolt went to, Leonardo da Vinci, and the one battle in the American Revolution was a reference to Assassin's Creed.

And the Time Twister was a reference to PaulSentry's story, "The end of Past Memories". Plus I figured Cinch deserved a proper punishment for what she to Sunset in Sonic05.
