There stands a Draconicous, hands with three fingers and a thumb, the body of a human, the tail of a dragon, mismatched legs, and the wings of a rock. She grabbed a mage's hat out of thin air and placed it upon her head, but her horn would pierce through it, now sticking out of her hat. And from her other hand, she pulls out her rod.

" Give your all, fool." The draconicous challenged Bubbles.

In return, she unsheathed her sword and vanished. In an instant, she would strike at the back, but her movement slowed down and eventually froze in place, but the draconicous didn't.

She slowly faced her frozen victim and showed disappointment. " Even rainbowdash was fast enough to break time itself. You need to work on that."

She placed one of her fist in Bubble's stomach and slowly buried it in her body. The pain was incredible, as her face slowly distorted from the pain. As she removed her feast from her stomach, the dent she left was still there, and with a snap of her finger, time flowed once more, and she shot Bubbles at the speed of sound and crashed into a meteor debrie.

She slowly floated to where she punched Bubble through and peaked at the crater she made. " Are you still alive? Or have you woken up to your world?"

It seems that Bubble has not died, as her battered body is still here.

Bubbles would slowly stand up and was ready to fight once more, but once again she could not move; the time stopped once more.

In a split second, the draconicous was behind her already and was preparing to punch her once more.

Bubbles was desperate to evade this attack, as another hit like that would be too much for her. In a desperate attempt, she tried to break time. She was able to move, but it was still slow.

" Oh? You're able to move. Impressive." She held her punch and waited for her.

Bubbles movement was improving, but eventually she got tired and ended up not moving again.

"Hmm... This will be a problem. Before I kill you, I will teach you how to get stronger."

She stabbed the chest of Bubbles, and it caught her off guard and out of breath.

" Uhg..." Her essence flew out.

"See this? You absorbed it and ended up saving it into your body, your soul. Hence, when you get injured, you heal up. But if you eat it,"

She then guided it through her mouth. " Then it strengthens your mind, your spirit. Remember, you are no ordinary creatures; usually, if absorbed in your body, thy body should be strengthened. But you are dead, and you are mere lost spirits with no proper soul. The only way to gain strength now is by your spirit. So eat the essence to strengthen your spirit, and absorb it to fix your soul."

She then sliced her head off.

She woke up in shock and was pouring in sweat; her breathing was heavy.

" Huh...huh...damn it." She pounded the ground.

" Bubbles, lady Starlight, is already in a league of her own, and now she has become a draconicous of time. If you want to lay a hoof at her, you better give up your body and sanity and become a draconicous yourself," Bright suggested.

Bubbles would pout and nag at him. "Momma's boy!..." she shouted.

" Hey! That's uncalled for!" Bright blushed.

Bubbles would walk away from them and end up staring badly at Quilt.

Tapper's punch was still fresh in Quilt's mind, and he instinctively flinched away from her, as he thought she was going to punch him as well; knowing her, she would probably do it, as she had already stabbed, punched, and said that he has a punchable face.

But this time, she'd just leave him alone.

" You! Explain yourself. Everything!" She shouted.

He flinched a bit before answering. "Yeah, uhmm, where do I even start?"

Equestria year 3xxx of Midnight's rain.

There, a young Quilt, pointing his spear towards the gates of Canterlot. He sides with some of his fellow knights and starving citizens, ranging from mares to colts, who either have physical or mental wounds on them.

"Are you ready, little one?" Starlight glimmer asked Quilt.

" Can you stop calling me that? I've grown since then, and I am grateful, mother. If it were not for you, I would be starving or dead."

He then closed his helmet and readied himself. " If it's for you, I will gladly die."

On the other side, where the walls of Canterlot stood, were the royal knights, who sided with the corrupt princess.

The houses and buildings that once stood were either in shambles or unkempt. The roads were broken and unclean; it was truly a demoralizing state.

A line between two opposing factions was made, and a unicorn with a mage's hat would break that line and be at the center of it.

The opposing side prepares.

" Today is the day we free our princess!" The unicorn shouted.

And there, the two forces began to clash.

"And as you can see, we lost and continued on until Bluebell's time."

Quilt would then approach her and bow down. " I'm sorry, I failed you... I failed all of you. And because of that, we ended up here. If only I was strong enough."

Bright would grab a hold of him.

" You did good! I'm proud of you, brother."

Quilt felt awkward and bashful towards Bright now, and he didn't like that; it was uncomfortable. " Tsk, stop that! I know you consider her your mother, but that doesn't mean we're brothers."

But this didn't bother Bright, who seems to be happy about it. To him, this is just a typical way a younger brother would rebel against his older brother.

Bubbles would be a bit embarrassed by Bright's action. " ... You can be weird sometimes, you know that."

This would discourage Bright. "No, I'm not!"

Treasure would but in and ask more from Quilt. " You know, if you told me this earlier, we could've had a clearer goal and probably didn't have so many casualties on the way, right?"

" Again, I ask for your forgiveness, as not all of my memories are clear even up to now. May I ask you: have all your memories returned?"

Everyone began to think and ponder.

" The resurrection is not perfect, and some memories might be tampered. You might not be who you are."

Everyone was dissatisfied with this news.
