Spike and his team continue to make their way toward the source of light as the alicorn starts rubbing his ear.

“What's the matter?” Applejack asked softly.

“I don't know. My body just feels weird.” He replied before smacking his lips. “Does anyone else feel like we're being watched?”

Spike stopped and looked around, noticing the sudden silence as Rainbow pointed out the greenery.

Within seconds something hits the ground next to Spike. Promoting the group to take cover.

“What in the name of Celestia's burning cunt was that?” The stallion asked.

Rainbow Poked her head out from behind the tree before ducking back. “Some kind of… weird white things.”

One by one the others took turns looking before agreeing they didn't know what they were. Spike poked his head out and was about to say something before one shouted “aim for the head!”

His eyes widened in shock but as they fired, he noticed they had very bad aim. Looking to the others he suggested attacking and forcing answers from them.

However, as he looked back, he noticed the things had already stopped firing and soon fell as a cloaked figure made its way over to him.

“That voice…” it said shakily. “That face… Spike?” The figure asked, lifting its head. As their eyes met Spike gasped in shock and horror.

As Twilight paced and bounced ideas off Gleaming, Blitz turned to Applejack, Pinkie and Fluttershy. “Wow… so that's what you guys look like as girls…” He laughed. “I have to say. You look like your sister AJ.”

“Thanks?” Applejack replied, raising an eyebrow.

“It's a compliment.” Blitz huffed. “Do you realize how popular she is?”

“If she's anything like my brother. Yeah, I can imagine.” Applejack snickered. “Thanks.”

Blitz smiled and turned to Pinkie. After a moment of eye contact he looked away. “Same dif.”

Applejack snickered as Pinkie pouted for a moment before realizing what he said and snorted.

As Blitz turned to Fluttershy she hid behind her bangs. To her surprise, he pulled her to his side with a wing before resting his head on her's. “Always so timid.” He sighed. “It's ok. I have you.”

Applejack and Pinkie looked in shock as Fluttershy quickly held him and cried into his shoulder as she told him about all the scary stuff she saw. They couldn't believe what they were seeing. But the proof of their friendship was sitting right there in plain sight.

“Wow.” Pinkie gasped. “I guess deep down we're the same in every timeline.”

Twilight's ear twitched, causing her to look over and see what Pinkie was talking about. Her eyes widened as the pieces came together. With A big smile she quickly hugged her friend. “Pinkie! You're a genius!”

“I am?”

Blitz rolled his eyes and quickly cut in as he stroked Fluttershy's head with a wing. “Keep in mind Egghead. Not everyone here speaks nerd.” Twilight raised an eyebrow at him before lifting a Daring Doo book. “You know what I mean.”

“Fine.” She sighed. “If you're… me did what i think he did… Then the proper way to fix it is simple.” Twilight sighed.

“And that is?” Blitz asked.

“Introduce the unstoppable force to an immovable object.” Twilight explained with a smile.

“And how are we going to do that?” Blitz asked. “Unless you didn't already figure it out. Your… or his teacher already went through most of the town.”

“But not his brother, our babysitter or the changeling army?” Twilight questioned.

Blitz thought for a moment. “Artemis is out looking for answers… prince Bolero is…” He paused and glared at Gleaming. “Looking after the kingdom ALONE. And we haven't heard from the king since the wedding.”

Twilight smiled. “Then we have to get their attention.”

“Or I can… that is if it's OK with you…” Fluttershy whimpered. “I'm a changeling after all…”

Blitz blinked and looked at her before turning to Twilight. “It's fine Fluttershy. We know you don't like doing that.” Twilight sighed. “We just have to hope the prince's lust is strong enough to overpower them.”

“No worries there.” Blitz laughed rolling his eyes. Before moving to the door. “I think there's a group nearby we can use.”

“Careful Blitz.” Gleaming called. “It might not be safe yet.”

Fluttershy got up and went next to Blitz. “I might not be fast… but… maybe I can buy you some time.”

Blitz hugged her. “Thanks. I promise to save you as soon as possible.”

With a nod the two flew out as Twilight bit her lip and desperately tried to think of other options.

The old white stallion sat on a bench and let out a deep sigh as a young him came over. “If you're here then we may be running out of time.”

“Do you really believe that?” The colt asked. “Or have you been walking these loops so much you finally went insane?”

The stallion smiled and sighed. “I ask myself that all the time.” He sighed, looking off to the multi-colored sky. “It's funny. I never saw this outcome coming.” He smiled and looked back to where the colt was and patted the pony skull on the head. “You're right. Back to work.”
