Quick warning before reading this chapter. It is perhaps THE longest chapter I will ever make! Because I had to finish up the story in three chapters, this being the second, I had to fit in all the material into a small space. So that why this story is over 17,000 words. But to make up for it, it's filled with tons of Timberwolf out-smarting and action! So yeah, I hope you all enjoy, and I am really sorry for this chapter being so long!

---

And welcome every pony to the chapter I've been waiting to give to all of you! Now I know that it's been a while since last chapter. Almost a week to be exact. (Thank Celestia Twilight isn't breathing down my neck about that issue anymore either) But I think that this is the most awesome chapter of them all! And yes, it is the longest chapter out of them all standing in at over 15,000 words! Yeah, I know it's a long chapter but there's a bright side to it! A majority of it is based around fighting off in a 10 vs 31 war against Timberwolves! So there's that! Like I promised before, I'm planning to wrap up this finale in three episodes! And with this one being the action-packed second of the three, I don't think you'll be disappointed! Though, that's only my opinion of the chapter so I'm not sure if you'll find my mediocre writing to be all that good.

Blitz: Talking ourselves down again huh? *he asked, walking into view*

Blitz! Man am I glad to see you're alive as of right now!

Blitz: Cut the lies Zeke, we both know that you knew I was gonna live. Cause in the end of most stories like these, the hero is always the winner.

Hehehe... If you say so Blitz. But do you really need to talk down your creator?

Blitz: Well you did somehow manage to make me even more of a cypony than before what with the new fake eye and all the-

Don't spoil it just yet Blitz! Don't want them to know what's happening this chapter until they actually read it! *I say, flashing a winning smile*

Blitz: Dude, don't be going all Chirs Mclean on us.

*Winning smile immediately goes away* AH! Okay! Yeah, you're right! No more torturing the main characters for fun! But... *Smiles again* Whipper's still fair game. Anyway, let's see what every pony has to say in the top three comments!

3: dazza. That's actually a very good question. You see, after this season's over, I'm going to take about a month off to take care of a few other things. Like for instance, I've had to postpone helping a friend work on their story since I have to focus on wrapping the first season of this one up. And also, I'm gonna relax a little more during the month of July because that's the month of my birthday, and I plan on getting some games and stuff.

But after that month, I plan on coming right back for season two of this! (Which will still be on this story, NOT a new story) And so far, I already have eleven episode ideas to go on, with the wicked finale even bigger than this one!

Blitz: Oh joy, more stuff for me to go through. *sarcasm*

Hey, some good things will happen to you too! Besides, two or three of these episodes won't even be about you! But that aside, I plan on this story going on for a good while before it eventually ends! And even when it does, I have four more story ideas I plan on making! All of them being based on video games and not MLP sadly, but still story ideas none the less!

2: Swift Lightning. (x3 posts) You know, just for asking, I am going to give that statue a ponified name of Stephano... STEPONY!

Blitz: Really? Stepony? I don't know if that's just bad creativity or you actually trying to insult Pewdiepie.

Bad creativity. And just because you asked that question... *makes an orb of magic in my hands then throws the orb off to the side. And where it lands, a giant Golden Stepony Statue appears* That is now permanently going to be in the intro!

Blitz: ...Well, I'm leaving now. *He said as he started to leave*

*Pulls him back over before he can* You can't leave yet! We still got more stuff in the intro to do!

Blitz *sighs* Fine, let's wrap this up.

1: Guest (J). Actually to be clear, the ponies only have rain clouds to use. At least, as far as we know ;) But also, thanks for explaining the intro thing to me. Honestly, it makes a whole lot more sense to me now whenever I'm working on the intro that day and I some how think just like that character would. Like that day I was writing Twilight was in the intro, I realized that I was WAY more organized than usual.

Blitz: Yeah, no kidding. You're a complete mess when it comes to organization.

But explaining something else, Whipper only wanted power when he wanted to overthrow Celestia. So he wasn't really worrying about the sun and moon cycle at the time. Nor would he release the problem before it would be too late.

Blitz: And since when does he think at all?

Good point! And lastly, I think the new additions to the intro kind of make for a decent running gag. So I think I'll leave them the same. That... And I'm a little lazy so the changes in the intro will stay!

Blitz: *turns towards all of you* Well, this won't end well...

Okay! With that finished up, let's begin the episode!

Blitz: Wait! There's one more thing I want to do first!

And that is? *He pulls out a lightning cupcake and eats it, getting electrically charged. He then takes his metal hoof and draws something on the ground with the lightning making scorch marks. When he's finished, it spells 'Blitz Waz Herez'*

...Really?

Blitz: Yep. You can start the chapter now. *he said with a smirk*

Disclaimer: I do not own MLP, or anything famous mentioned. Nor do I own the two of Whipper's henchmen or Fire Leaf. Those three characters belong to the readers who created them. I do, however, own Whipper and Blitz. Along with all the other ancestors.

Intro Area Decorations to Date: A broken ceiling, wires all around the floor, thousands of tiny pieces of paper, some stray pieces of tape and glue lying around, a giant golden statue of Stepony (Pony Stephano), and scorch markings on the floor that spell out 'Blitz Waz Herez'

Blitz's POV

"Okay, what did you need from us Alamo?" Bright asked, all three of us outside my tent. I had called them all here because with Whipper having an even crazier plan, I needed to be fully prepared.

"Well, I need y'all two... Voice change by choice." I said, changing my voice to normal. This was really serious, and seeing as how that accent getting annoying, but it was kind of hard to understand at times. And since we were all pressed for time, I needed to just spit it out. Which was easier since I can use my normal voice when no pony but the three of us are around.

"I need you two to help me out for when we stop Whipper. Like you said earlier Bright, just using my metal hoof as a brander won't work." I told them. "So I think I'm gonna need a few upgrades." I told them, already knowing just what my plan was.

"Upgrades? What do you mean by, upgrades?" Bright asked, confused by what I meant.

Knowing that it was going to be hard just to describe what I had in mind, I pulled out the photo again. Covering up the opposite side I was on, the side Rarity was on, I showed Jewel the picture. "Jewel. Do you think you can make me a new tail out of iron that's just like this one?" I showed her the picture of me, which had my tail on it.

She had a look of thought for a little bit before nodding at me with a confident smile. "If I can make beautiful jewelry for any pony, I'm sure I can make such a simple design like this." She said to me, taking a good long look at the picture to memorize the lightning bolt shape. After memorizing it, she then left to begin making my new tail.

"And Bright?" I turned to her, getting her attention. "Can you get me a few things? I have something of my own I need to make."

"What do you need me to get?" She asked, happy to help.

"I need two very small hooks the size of earring hooks, a spring the size of your hoof, about a twenty foot length of rope, a hatchet, and a stick of coal to write with." I told her, listing off a few things that I needed. Yes, they were all random and made next to no sense, but they were all needed for my plan.

"Well, here's the stick of coal. It's odd really, but somehow I have some. But what's all this for anyway?" She asked, confused by the list of things that I asked for.

"You'll see soon enough." I told her, taking the coal. I had some paper in my tent, along with a slightly withered tree stump outside my tent, but I still needed the coal to write with. I knew that a quill wouldn't help, and pencils weren't around here, so that left coal. The only reason I choose it out of anything is that I remember something about coal used for writing. I'm not sure if that was during western times or before now, but I knew it would still work.

After telling her just that much, she knew I wasn't going to say anything else and went on her way to get the other things. That just left me with the coal, paper, and the stump to use as make-shift stuff to help make a blueprint. I had the idea to create this for a while now, but only now have I actually had a reason to make it.

Twilight's POV

Come on Twilight, think! There has to be a way to bring Blitz's back! I mean, we know what happened to him, but we're still missing a few details! Like, what time period did Blitz end up in? For all we know, he could've ended up in The Medieval Age, The Age of Chaos, last week! Maybe even in the Before Celestia Age, or B.C. as it's better known. Still, we had to figure out just when he went!

"Uh Twilight... What's happening to that book?... If you don't mind me asking." Fluttershy stated, pointing to a book on the history shelf of the library. It was changing in a way. No... Not in a way. Almost entirely!

"That's it!" I yelled out, startling most every pony since they had been trying to wake up Rarity after she fainted from her tail disaster.

"What?! Did you find out what happened to Blitz?!" Rainbow asked, turning towards me in some excitement.

"Possibly!" I said, using my magic to levitate the book off the shelf and over towards a pedestal. I opened it up and went over, flipping through the pages. It was a book over the summary of the history of Equestria, so that had to mean that Blitz had ended up in an important time period.

Only, not just one part of the book was changing. Most of the book was changing before my eyes. This had been the one book I had personally been adding onto, that way it would keep up with important events. Like Queen Chrysalis's attack on Canterlot, Discord's second reign, and the most recent, his reformation. But now, all of that was changing.

Any news around halfway into the book and further on Celestia was fading in and out. It wasn't just becoming blank either, different texts were replacing it. And instead of Princess Celestia, I could barely tell that it was replaced with some pony with the title of 'King Whip'. Who King Whip was, I didn't know, but I knew that only one pony had gone into the past before this change, and that was Blitz.

"What?... What's going on?" Rarity asked, starting to wake up.

Before any pony could remind her that her tail just got cut off by accident, I spoke up. "Something very wrong is happening to the past every pony! I'm looking at my personal book that summarizes the history of Equestria from Hearts Warming, towards current events today and everything's changing!" I told them, holding up the book to show them.

They all gasped at the sight, as shocked as I was. "What's happening to it?!" Snips asked, the only one to speak up from this shocking event.

"Well it appears that every part of the book that has Princess Celestia written in it, is being replaced by some pony named 'King Whip'!" I told them with great fear.

"Oh Whipper, this is horrib... wait what?..." Rarity asked herself, confused by what she had just said.

"Don't you mean 'Oh Celestia'?" Rainbow Dash asked, confused as well.

"Why yes, that's what I tried to say but... But I ended up saying 'Oh Whipper' instead..." Rarity explained, feeling her neck to see if something was wrong with her voice.

"Wait, who's Celestia?" Pinkie Pie asked, actually confused of the name.

That made me realize what exactly was happening. "Oh no! Because of the time period Blitz ended up in, somehow he must've accidentally altered history!" I pointed out, realizing that I was starting to forget things about Princess Celestia all together. The time she asked for our help against Discord was slipping my mind, as was me seeing her at the Gala. It was all starting to be forgotten, and replaced by King Whip. The ruler over Equestria who overthrew Celestia with a revolution against her and- WAIT, WHAT?!

"Twi! What's happenin to us?!" Applejack asked as she looked at her hooves. All of her, along with every pony else in the room, was starting to fade from existence.

I looked out the window and towards Princess Celestia's Castle, but saw that it was changing too! It was going from an amazing castle of grace and hope, to a destroyed castle where the taller towers had fallen apart at the tops and there were red banners with whips that were hanging everywhere on the castle.

"Twilight! HELP!" I turned to see Spike bursting in the room, himself disappearing as well as the rest of us.

"We're t_ late! His_ry's being re_itten!" I screamed out, my voice starting to disappear as well. "I thi_ _is _s the e_d!" I barely managed to yell out!

I looked outside one more time, seeing that outside it was going from peaceful and green, to dried-up and destroyed.

My magic stopped working and I fell to the ground, finding it hard to stay conscious suddenly. The others were starting to do the same, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash falling to the ground because they were too weak to fly now. It was all over... We couldn't bring Blitz back before history caught up with us...

As we all looked around one more time, we all started to have fear grow more and more on our faces, not happy that our lives were being erased before our very eyes. We didn't want to un-exist, but it was too late for us now... Because...

...

We...

"Hey, wait a second! I feel Pinkie-rific again!" I heard Pinkie Pie cry out in joy as she suddenly jumped up. I knew it was hard for her to accept, but it was the end for- WAIT WHAT?!

"H...How?" I managed to ask, having barely any strength. Although, I did notice that I suddenly had just enough strength to talk a little.

"I dunno! I just do! In fact, I even remember who Princess Celestia is again!" She said, starting to smile greatly. She looked around, trying to help out the others. But they were vanished to the point where Pinkie just went through them.

Then, all of a sudden Spike shot up! "Hey... I'm fine too!" He cheered, happy to once again be just fine. But his cheeriness faltered when he saw that all of us were still barely hanging in.

"Wait a sec... I'm feelin dandy too! Not only that, but lookie here! Ponyville ain't as dried-up as anymore!" She said happily, glad everything was going back to normal.

"Not only that," Rarity started. "But I'm feeling just as perfect as ever!" She said, getting up from the ground. She fluffed her mane and went to admire her tail... Before realizing that it was still cut off from when Rainbow Dash accidentally cut it off with Blitz's tail. She then dramatically fainted into a pile of discarded books from the shock of it.

"Hey! We feel great too!" Snips said as he and Snails started getting up. How all of them were getting back to normal, I didn't get it.

"So am I..." Fluttershy said, sitting up. "Twilight, Rainbow Dash, are you two okay?" She asked, all of them now looking at the two of us who were still weak and fading.

"A little... It's still hard to manage, but I think we'll be fine..." I said, now starting to stand up. The others were standing around just fine, but we were still fading a little now and then. Rainbow Dash was still too weak to fly, but was able to stand with a little ease.

"What happened there anyway?" Applejack asked, worried.

"Well, when Blitz traveled back he must've accidentally made it so we never existed. But I guess now he righted some of his wrongs." I looked out the window and looked towards Celestia's Castle, but it was fading back and forth from perfectly fine to ruined. "And he still has a few more to fix." I said, still trying to figure out what was happening.

"Okay, so we know Blitz is messing up something important in the past, but what?" Rainbow Dash asked, wanting this to end before it got any worse.

"Well, whatever it is, it must have to do with whoever King Whip is. Does any pony by any chance remember anything about him?" I asked, turning to the others.

"Nope! I can't remember anything about him now! This is so wierd!" Pinkie said, a little shocked that she couldn't remember anything about some pony. Wow, if she's surprised by all of this then this really is a problem.

"Me neither." Applejack said, confused. They all knew his name, but that was about it.

"I remember a few things..." Rainbow Dash said, confused that she remembered something about it.

"Yeah... M-me too... I guess since we're not back to normal yet, we still remember some of it all. Now let's see..." I started, trying to piece together what I knew. "King Whip overthrew Princess Celestia, taking over and naming himself the King of Equestria... He took over shortly after the Pony Valley Rebellion." I said, knowing that I heard that name somewhere.

"Wait, ain't Pony Valley supposed ta be Ponyville back in its hay day? Ya know, 'fore my family came in ta help create Ponyville?" Applejack asked.

I thought about what Applejack said and it clicked. "That's it!" I yelled out. I used my magic to flip the Summary of Equestrian History book towards that point in time and found out that that's where all the changes were starting. "I found it! Okay, let's hurry every pony! We need to get to a secluded spot away from the celebration so that way no pony will see when we bring Blitz back! So let's go to Sweet Apple Acres!" I said, thinking of the only place that was sure to have no pony else around.

We all started heading towards Sweet Apple Acres, knowing that we had to hurry and brin Blitz back before anything else happened. And as we all headed there, I started to go back to normal, not fading out or feeling weak what so ever. Hopefully Blitz was doing all he could to right anything that he had messed up, and was ready to come back.

Blitz's POV

Ugh! Is it really this hard for me to make this stupid blueprint?!

As I was slaving away at drawing up a blueprint, I realized it was way harder than it looked. Given, it was the first time I had ever tried to write or draw something actually legit since I became a pony, but I had no idea it was this hard to draw with hooves! Good Celestia, am I doing something wrong here?!

I looked up towards the sky to see what time it was, and saw that the moon was already starting to come up. Wow, when I started making this blueprint the sun was just starting to go down! How long had I been working on this?!

"Alamo!" I heard Bright call as she started running towards where I was with a pack over her back. "I have great news!" She told me.

"Really? What?" I ask, using my western accent again just in case some pony else had come by. I put down the coal, having enough of that disaster, and kept quiet so she could tell me the news.

"Well after getting your things, I ran into Tune and decided to send a message to the Princess to tell her the news. After telling her about your plan to bring every pony together, she wants to meet you and me when it's all over! She even wants you to meet with the Captain of the Royal Guard so you can speak to him about how this all went!" She told me with a great smile on her face.

That's when I realized, how will this all end? I never even thought about that. I mean, I might be going into this giant battle with a big army with clouds right behind me, but Whipper will definitely be aiming for me. And with how under-hoofed he was, who knew if he would actually get me or fail? I might be going into a fight with a stronger and better army, but that doesn't mean I'm getting out scot-free.

"Bright... Listen." I started, not really sure how I was going to say this or if I even had to worry about it. "If Whipper somehow gets ta me, ya still need ta go ta Princess Celestia." I told her, not sure how she'd respond.

"Woah, what?! What do you mean if he gets you?!" She asked, wondering how this just came out of left field.

"You've seen what Whipper's done ta me already. He's already near permanently blinded me, and he could'a killed me not only if he didn't just leave me a hangin at that stage in town, but if he decided ta 'punish' me first while I was all tied up at the Whippin' Grounds." That's when I realized that if it wasn't for the fact he was an idiot, or too self-absorbed, or with my dumb luck, I could've been dead already. He already had multiple chances to kill me, and every time he got to me, I ended up getting hurt one way or another.

The cactus run, Spectrum whipping me on stage, me getting my eye destroyed by the whip, each time I just met Whipper I'd end up getting hurt to the extreme.

"Just because you could have died before doesn't mean you are going to die! Come on, don't think like that! What will happen to your friends if you don't come back?!" She asked, trying to get me to stop thinking like this.

"I ain't sayin I'm gonna die. I'm just sayin that IF I die, that ya still need ta go ta Canterlot, talk ta Princess Celestia, and think nothin more of it." I told her. I know that I didn't know as much as she did about all of this time traveling stuff. But what I did figure out that if she did something different because of something that happened to me, than the future would be different.

And she realized it too an nodded to me, now way less enthusiastic. "Alright, I understand what you mean."

After agreeing to go to Canterlot, and take care of talking to the Captain of the Royal Guard if I couldn't, I felt the photo change once again. I took it out of my hat and looked at it, seeing Twilight now fade back into the picture for good. That showed that Bright was supposed to go back to Canterlot to begin with. Which made sense, because of everything I knew about the others, I learned that Twilight used to live in Canterlot with her parents and big brother.

But as I saw that from this conversation, telling Bright to take my place to take care of talking to the Captain of the Guard was the right decision. But that's also what made me go wide-eyed at what I realized.

If telling her to take my place in going to Canterlot was what made Twilight re-exist, then that must mean that Bright does end up taking my place. And if that's true, that means...

"Anyway, ignoring that little detail," Bright said, really not wanting to think about it. As she snapped me back to reality, I shook my head and put the picture back before she could realize that Twilight changed back because of what I just said. "what's with all these crumpled up pieces of parchment?" She asked, opening one up with her magic.

"Oh, well I've been tryin ta draw somethin but..." I said, not exactly sure how to explain my problem.

"It looks like you barely know how to draw a straight line." She criticized as she showed the picture. And she was right. Any markings that tried to look like lines or circles, looked like a baby filly that had one too many sarsaparillas was responsible for the drawing.

"Yeah... Ya could say that..." I said, thinking I was an idiot for not being able to draw a normal straight line. I tried to use a few of these papers to practice, or at least attempt to write one short sentence like 'I eat apples' or 'My name is Blitz'. But both of those sentences looked as if I was scribbling on the paper to get an ink pen to work.

"Wait a minute, do you not know how to write?!" She asked, shocked that some pony my age couldn't write. "Well, at least that explains why you can't read either." She said, now releaved that it wasn't my glass eye that kept me from reading Princess Celestia's letter.

"Now wait a second, I can read fine! It's the dang cursive I can't read!" I defended. Though, that didn't really help my case as Bright fell over laughing at my idiocy. "It ain't funny!" I yelled out.

"No wonder my great-grand daughter is the smartest of your group! Because if the future's education is at the point where stallions can't read or write, than my family must be the smartest families in Equestria!" She said as she laughed.

"At least I still got math..." I said, knowing that math I had down completely. Though, it wasn't really that useful in the western times. As she kept laughing, I eventually growled a little and yelled towards her. "If yer gonna laugh about my drawin, can ya at least tell me how ta do it right?!" I asked, hoping she would stop laughing at me.

"Sure... Sure." She said, starting to calm down. She shook her head to get herself together before levitating the piece of coal towards her and kept it above her head to show me. "Well, first off you need to make sure you got the technique down. The first step to knowing this is that it's all in the tongue." She said to me with a nod.

"Wait, what?" I asked, thrown off by what she just said. I really had no idea where this was going, and I wasn't completely sure I wanted to hear it.

"Like this see?" She said, putting the coal in her mouth. She then levitated one of the pieces of paper that were left and started writing with the coal in her mouth.

After writing something with her mouth instead of her hooves, she turned it towards me so I could see it. And in cursive it said, 'I am showing an idiot how to read and write.'

I would've said something to try to defend myself about how I could easily read and write, if it didn't take me ten seconds to read the cursive writing.

"Okay, that ain't right." I said simply, knowing I couldn't really defend myself at this point. Okay, so in a way I couldn't read or write. But only cursive, and the fact that I was still not completely used to being a cypony.

She giggled a little at the fact that I had no comeback and levitated a new piece of paper, along with the coal for me to use. I took the coal in my mouth and put the paper on the make-shift dry tree stump table and tried to write with my mouth. Using my tongue to move the coal vertically, horizontally, and in slanted directions. With a little help with my draw. Surprisingly, it felt like a natural thing like when I was running around when I first became a pony.

After practicing by writing my name, and saw that it was actually hlaf decent, I started working on the blueprint I needed to work on. From all the times I tried to make this one stupid blueprint, I pretty much had the idea and the picture of the plan buried into my brain.

"So what are you tryin to make anyway?" She asked, looking over my shoulder at what I was making.

"Well, let's say that it has ta do with my special talent. If I'm lucky, I won't have ta use it at all. It's a back-up plan in case I need it." I told her, not wanting to give away just what it was. At least not yet. Besides, it wasn't something that I was planning on using to defend myself. If anything, it's only in case my tail isn't going to be enough to stop Whipper.

"Okay, if you say so. But I hope you don't plan on staying up all night working on it. The whole army isn't going to have high hopes in winning if you're still asleep while Whipper gets away." She warned me.

"Got it. Don't worry 'bout me none, I'll get 'nough sleep. And if I happen ta be asleep while Whipper's Army is going, wake me up under any costs ya hear?" I asked, making sure she knew what to do.

"Okay, I understand. Goodnight Sheriff. Good luck with... Whatever you're working on." She said to me as she left to sleep in her own tent.

"Thanks." I said, almost done writing up the blueprint already. The design was simple. It was just a spring-loaded trap installed ino my arm that I could activate just by turning my wrist clockwise with the opposite hoof. The hard part was putting it together. I only had one chance, and if I messed up then I wasn't getting another one. It was risky, but I knew that it might just pay off if I could do it right.

After finishing the blueprints, I went over to the pack filled with stuff I asked Bright to get me. The hooks that were made for earrings; a spring that was the same size as my hoof; a rope about twenty feet, give or take a foot; and the hatchet. Also nearby my tent was a fire that was burning really hot, with a cooking pot hanging above the fire from a campfire spit. And inside my tent was a few small rags that I would also need.

Then once I got it all set up, I got ready to do the craziest thing I could've thought up. I put the hooks into the cooking pot, and put my metal hoof into the base of the fire to heat it up. This way I could stick them together later.

After about a couple of minutes, I took my hoof out of the fire. And because of being at the base of the fire the whole time, it was glowing red-hot like a sword in a furnace.

Finally, I started the actual hard part of working on the plan. I took the hatchet with my normal hoof and gulped, not believing that I was about to do this. So, using all my strength, I chopped my metal hoof as hard as I could with the hatchet, the heat of the metal making it easier to cut. To bad I only got halfway through with the first hit. At least I felt no pain physically. But mentally, seeing my front left hoof be cut halfway through made me mentally feel the pain.

This wasn't fun at all, but it was too late to back out of the plan now. I needed a back-up plan in case my tail wasn't going to be enough to fend off Whipper, so the only other choice I had left was to use another part of my bionics to defend myself. My ear was out of the question. We just re-discovered rain clouds so storm clouds were probably out of the picture. And of course, my tail was pretty much equal to a sword, so that only left two fake body parts to work on. My leg, or my eye.

I wasn't going to trust myself with experimenting on my eye just yet, so that left my leg. Now I just gotta finish this design up and hope it'll work. That is, hoping I won't even need it to begin with.

I gulped before taking in a deep breath. "Round two..." I said to myself, raising up the hatchet at my now almost severed metal hoof. This was going to be a long night.

Twilight's POV

Alright, we're almost ready! We've made it to Sweet Apple Acres and we're all still here. Although, Rainbow Dash and the castle are still fading back and forth from existence and change.

Now according to this spell, I need to concentrate on the moment in time where Blitz is. And to make it so it would appear near Blitz, I needed an object that has a connection with Blitz. And the only real object we could use on short notice that has an emotional connection was Blitz's Element of Courage. Sure we had his tail, but even though it's am actual literal part of him, it didn't hold much of an emotional connection. So the Element of Courage was all we had left.

So now with his element the portal should not only focus on Blitz and nothing else, but it should open up near wherever he was. The portal that sent him into the past wasn't aimed for a certain individual, so anything could've been sucked through time.

"Alright Twi, what now?" Applejack asked as we all got to Sweet Apple Acres.

"Now we just have to hope that I pick the right day. And judging by when time is changing according to my Summary of Equestrian History book, I think I know just when to bring Blitz back." I told them, double checking my book.

"But I thought we were bringing him back right now!" Snips said, confused by what I meant when I said when to brin Blitz back.

"Yes we are." I corrected him, trying to focus on finding the exact date.

"Wait, isn't this Blitz?" Snails asked out-loud, holding up that pebble from earlier.

"Err..." I growled, not wanting to go through all of this again. Especially when we were so close to bringing Blitz back to the present.

"Don't mind them none Twilight, you just get ta focusin on bringin Blitz back. We'll explain the rest. to em" Applejack assured me, making me a little more relieved that I would be able to focus more on the task at hand.

So as they explained it all to Snips and Snails again, Spike stood next to me with Blitz's Element in his claws. After figuring out the date Blitz traveled to, I traded Spike the Element of Courage with the book, starting the spell.

I levitated the element a good ten feet away from where I was, not sure if Blitz was going to just come out slowly, or fly out as if he was shot out of a cannon. Ten feet away seemed like a decent amount of space in case the latter was to happen so we could react and get out-of-the-way in time.

I then focused on the exact point in time I wanted to open the time portal to and the magic focused into my horn. After about half a minute of this, the spell was charged up enough to last for five minutes if it had to. So with that set up, I fired the magical beam towards the element, hitting it and turning it, temporarily, into a time portal.

We were unaffected by the suction of the portal, so we just stood by as we watched. If Blitz somehow didn't make it to the portal, or wasn't in range to be brought back, than I would give it a five-minute intervention before trying a second time. That way, Blitz would know that we're trying to bring him back and wait for it to open back up again. The second time, hopefully ready for it.

And luckily, I didn't need to continuously focus on keeping the portal opened, so I stood ready to greet Blitz when he would come back to his correct time period.

Don't worry Blitz, you should be back in the present in no time.

Blitz's POV

Ugh... When did I fall asleep? I asked myself as I started to wake up, ashes in front of me where there was a fire. Judging by where the sun was, I guess it was about ten in the morning. Which was wierd because I rarely woke up before noon, if not later. But I didn't count it as that odd because ever since going back in time, I've been waking up before noon just about every day.

That's when I realized something else. If I don't know when exactly I fell asleep, did I finish up the project I was working on?

To help answer the question, I looked at my metal hoof. There was a line dividing my leg with my hoof, and if any pony saw the line then they could easily tell that my leg was fake. But none the less, my hoof was back on my leg and it was as if nothing had happened. I guess my mind thinking that I should be in a lot of pain from working on my metal leg made me black out for no actual reason.

But whatever happened, it all looked like it was done. The rope, hooks, and spring were nowhere to be seen, and my metal leg felt heavier for some reason. So I pieced it all together and figured out that it was all set up and over with.

I then got up and looked around, seeing every pony get their stuff packed up and drinking more water from the clouds and barrels that we stored up. So at least the morale was high for the whole group. Guess now that only left one more thing to do. Get up and get ready, because it was time to stop Whipper once and for all.

I flew up in the air so that way they could all see me when I spoke up. "Attention y'all!" I called out, getting the attention of every pony. By the looks of it, they had all woken up by now, which had surprised me. "As ya know, Whipper's gonna start movin his army out soon!" I yelled out so they could here. I was talking to one-hundred plus ponies so I had to keep talking loudly.

"And as ya may er may not know, Canterlot isn't in any condition ta defend themselves 'gainst Whipper's army! So it's up ta us ta bring em to their senses!" I said, having confidence in the plan.

They all cheered at what I said, agreeing with the plan. Just from the amount of excitement they all had, I could tell that they were all happy. The main fact of that being that there was enough water for every pony here. That, and the tension between all of them had now officially died down.

"Now the only thin we gotta think about is this. We can't just go all out and bring em down. We're tryin ta reason with em, an that ain't gonna work if they're unconscious, seriously injured, er dead. Violence just leads ta more violence. So, that's the most important thing. Y'all get me?" I asked them, looking at as many of them as I could.

"Yes, Sheriff Alamo!" I heard them all yell out in response. Good, as long as that was straightened out we were going to be fine.

"What we do gotta take care of though, are them Timberwolves Whipper gathered up. Those things are ruthless, and they ain't dangerous ta just any army that are up against them, but Whipper's army too! So no matter what, make sure them Timberwolves are dealt with 'fore they hurt any pony! Am I clear ta y'all?!" I asked, that being the most important piece of information to tell them.

"Yeah!" They all yelled out, now clear on just what we had to do. Calm down the resistance, and destroy the Timberwolves.

"Great! Now let's get ready every pony! We need ta get goin as soon as we can! So when yer all ready meet me at the front of the campsite as soon as ya can! This 'revolt' ends today!" I yelled out to them, which made them all get ready. They were already almost done packing it all up, and were now getting ready for the battle to come. And judging by all of their expressions, they looked ready to put Whipper's 'revolution' plan to rest.

I went ahead and flew over to the front where I was told them to go, only to see Bright waiting for me. "Howdy Bright. How's it goin?" I asked her with a calm tone.

"Fine. Just, still a little bothered about what you said." She said to me. She had never thought about the fact that bringing me back to the past might lead to my end untill it came up.

"Yeah." I agreed, kind of worried about what exactly will happen to me. "But still, ya can't worry 'bout me none. Whatever happens, happens. So if I die... Then I guess that's it, I die." I told her, mentally shaking the worried feeling off.

She looked at me with some shock after I said that. Then she went into thought for a few seconds before looking at me. "Alamo, what are you in the future?" She asked me.

"Beg yer pardon?" I asked, confused by what she meant.

"I mean, what did you do for a living before being sent back to the past? It seems that you're used to sacrificing your life for the greater good." She said, talking about my courage.

"I ain't a hero if that's what yer sayin." I cleared up right away. All my friends kept insisting I was, I didn't need one of their ancestors to start arguing to me about it too.

"Heh... Wait, you aren't kidding are you?" Bright asked, originally thinking I was joking when I said that. But when I simply shook my head no at the question, she scoffed a little. "You can not be serious. You're leading an army, you saved Tune's life, you stood up to Whipper when no pony else would... And after all that, you still say you aren't a hero?" She asked, really confused.

"Please. I was just at the right place at the right time." I said, having a serious moment of déjà vu.

"So was all of those ponies that were all gathered around you and the others. Any of them could've leaped into action, but they didn't. You did. And you wasted no time in doing so." She pointed out to me.

"Well... Maybe but..." I wasn't expecting any pony to turn that phrase around on me. Usually whenever I act modest and say that, they scoff at it and move on to another example. But that wasn't the case. I was always so used to controlling any conversation I was included in, not that I was ever really included in much conversations until coming to Equestria. But for the first time ever, some pony was able to prove me wrong.

Funny part is, I never would've imagined that some pony from western times would be the one to prove me wrong.

"See? You don't even have a way to prove you aren't a hero, do you?" She asked, smiling at her victory.

I simply chuckled a little at that. "Ya know, it's funny. Before I went through that portal ta come here, I was arguin wit all my friends in tha photo 'bout this same problem. They were saying I was a hero too. And after makin em give up on callin me a hero, we saw two young'uns bein sucked inta tha portal. So, bein the first one there, I tackled em outta tha way and took their place." I told her, explaining how I ended up getting her in the first place.

"Well, you sure know how to prove yourself wrong don't you?" She said, giggling at the irony of it all. The fact that every pony kept trying to show me I was a hero except me, yet I ended up proving myself wrong, was pretty funny in itself.

"Oh, Hardy Har Har." I said, turning back towards the camp to see if every pony was about ready to go.

And after turning around, I saw Golden Jewel come over towards where we were, levitating something wrapped up in a towel like a last-minute wrapped present. "Sheriff Alamo, it's ready!" She said, bringing the 'gift' in front of me.

I took it and got the towel off and was surprised at what I saw. It was an exact replica of my tail! It was the same size, made of the same material, and the same shape! It was exactly the same! Only... It was silver instead.

My original tail was painted bright yellow, the same color as my mane. But this one wasn't painted bright yellow. It wasn't just a plain iron tail though, it was actually painted the color silver. Almost like some second place silver medal you got at the Olympics.

But honestly, it was still great to finally have a tail again. Even if it was a different color. I put it in place, now ready to take on any pony in my way. I smiled and turned back towards Jewel, who was awestruck at how my appearance seemed 'complete' or something. "Thanks Jewel. I owe ya one." I told her.

"Oh think nothing of it!" She said, amazed at how great her work turned out. "But if you want to repay me, when you get back to your time can you tell my great-grand daughter Rarity that I'm proud of her?" She asked, genuinely wanting to have that message sent to her.

"Sure." I said with a nod, happy to do that for her. "But focusin' on the task at hoof, now we just gotta wait fer the others ta get here." I said, looking off towards where the others are.

And almost on que, every pony started running over to where we were, all ready to stop Whipper. The pegasi were all in the air and they had a bunch of clouds with them to help calm down the revolution by ending the lack of water in Pony Valley. While the earth ponies all had lassos or pitchforks to defend themselves against the Timberwolves and any of the army that wouldn't listen to reason.

"Alright every pony, listen up!" I said, flying up so they could all see me. "Now when we see Whipper's army, we need ta try ta calm em down 'fore we fight with em! Whipper plans ta lead em up ta Canterlot so he can take over as ruler of Equestria! And we can not and will not let that happen! So ta calm em down, we're gonna use these here rain clouds and say that Celestia taught us how ta use em so Pony Valley wouldn't dry up!" I told them, instructing them on what to do.

"But Sheriff," I heard Dusty say from the crowd. "Yer tha one who taught us how ta use em ain't ya?" He asked.

"That may be Dusty, but I don't want the credit fer the rain clouds! Now we all know Princess Celestia's tryin her hardest ta take care a Canterlot, so that's why she can't come down and talk ta the army herself! So, by sayin that these here clouds were a gift from the Princess will let them see that she's not lazy er anythin like that! Y'all understand?!" I asked them, instructing them on what the plan was.

"Yes sir!" They all said confidentially, knowing what all my intentions were.

"Good! Now let's get goin!" I yelled out, flying forward with confidence as I put a toothpick in my mouth for added effect. They all followed, the pegasi flying right behind me with the clouds and the earth ponies an unicorns using 'no grip' running to run just as fast as we were flying. Whipper was going down, and with how fast we were going towards Pony Valley, I wouldn't be surprised if we found him and his army in three minutes tops.

20 minutes later

"Ugh! Where is that varmit?!" Fire Leaf yelled, all of us having circled the town longer than any of us thought. Honestly, shouldn't there have been at least some scouts or something outside the city.

And by now, it was just getting annoying. From all the running from us being anxious, we had all tired out. Most of the pegasi were now flying around slowly as they laid on top of the clouds we brought, not wanting to support themselves in the air any longer. Where as most the earth ponies and unicorns below were just dragging their hooves as we kept going, exhausted.

"No way they left." I answered, still flying without the help of a cloud, but about ready to use one. "There's no way that snake high-tailed it outta here. After circlin' the town, there weren't no hoof marks anywhere. So guess they can only be in tha city." I said, looking towards it. But from the sky, we couldn't see any sign of life in the town. It was even more of a waste land than usual.

"Then let's go!" I heard a random pony call from the army. Then he, followed by the whole army started going into the city and towards the Whipping Grounds.

That just left me and Bright back where every pony was not five seconds ago. "This can not be good. It has to be a trap." She said out loud.

"It may be..." I sighed. "But we can't just sit here while the whole army walks right into it. Come on, we gotta follow em." I said, flying after the army. I might've helped bring equality, water, and confidence to the army. But the one thing none of them really did focus on learning was patience. Which is pretty much my fault now that I think about it.

---

After catching up to the army, we ended up in the whipping grounds were it all began, it just big enough to fit two of our armies. That is, if our pegasi keep flight.

We all looked around, and saw some wierd last-minute throne in the very middle of the grounds, along with a wierd looking new building next to Diane's Lagoon. It was kinda small for a building, and it was... wrinkly?

But I shook it off and focused on the task at hand. "Whipper! We know yer still in town! Come on out! We just wanna talk!" I yelled out.

"HA! That's a laugh!" I heard from on top of the wierd building. We all looked over and there he was. Whipper. Only, now this whole conquering thing had gone and fed his ego. He had a red velvet cape much like a stereotypical king would. And he had his trademark whip right in his hoof. Not that he could hit any of us from where he was. It was really just to strike fear in us. Which wasn't working.

"Now Whipper. We don't wanna fight. Equestria's already doin bad without disputes. No, we came here ta try ta calm y'all down." I said to him, acting calm.

"Again, HA! That's gotta be the worst lie I've done heard in my life! As soon as we let our guard down, all y'all will be doin is fightin us! Why, wit them pitchforks, an lassos, an them freaky puffy thangs, yer ready fer a fight!" He said, pointing to the clouds. I wasn't sure if he actually didn't know that these were rain clouds or not, but I couldn't correct him either way. "To bad it ain't enough! NOW!" He yelled out, loud enough for any pony near the Whipping Grounds to hear.

Just then, Whipper's Army started coming out from everywhere. From inside buildings, inside barrels, behind bales of hay, everywhere They surrounded us all, blocking all exits from the Whipping Grounds, leaving us trapped in the middle.

"What's yer big plan now, 'Sheriff'?!" He asked, mocking my title after he saw the badge on my coal black vest. He started cackling madly, thinking that he had us in checkmate. But I wasn't done yet.

"Now hold up y'all! 'Fore ya start fightin us, at least here me out first!" I called out to the army that was starting to close in on us. They started yelling out multiple answers, and to sum it up instead of using the words they were using, it was a no.

"Now hold on." Whipper said, quieting them down. We all looked to him, confused about what he was thinking. "Let's at least humor this here bounty hunter 'fore we take em down!" Whipper said, letting me speak up. He was this sure that he had us beat, and I couldn't help but smirk just a little in victory for a quick second before getting serious.

"That's just it. I ain't no bounty hunter. Yeah I wanna stop you Whipper, but not fer the reason you say. You say that the Princess is lazy and doesn't care 'bout us none, but that ain't right." I told them. "Now all of us are used ta survivin out here on our own without much water, but Canterlot ain't. In fact, they're doin just as bad as we are, and they ain't used ta that!" I said, playing at the strengths I had to work on. I had to prove to them that Canterlot folks were the same as us.

And so far, it was working. One by one, I saw them start to think about all of this. And I had to press on before Whipper stopped this. "An cause they ain't used ta bein a dry city like ours, Princess Celestia needs to help them out! So she's doin the best she can ta calm down Canterlot 'fore she tries ta calm down cities like Pony Valley. Cause we've been livin off like this fer so long, we know how ta power through it!" I told them, complimenting them in the process of protecting Princess Celestia so they'll be a little more open to the idea.

"Even so," One of the members of Whipper's Army spoke up, still on the fence. "Why can't she just tell us herself?! Er at least send somethin fer a gift ta help us folks bravin the harsh weather?!" He asked me, challenging me to answer that.

I heard Whipper chuckle darkly once, almost as if thinking 'Try answerin that one, Fly Boy.' Luckily, I had just the answer for that.

"Ah, but she did send somethin!" I answered, making Whipper's Army perk up and mumble to one another. I even heard Whipper go 'HUH?!' as he almost tripped over his own kind cape.

"Pegasi, if ya kindly?" I asked them, queuing them to go. They nodded and moved the clouds over Whipper's army. They all looked up, some scared, and others just simply curious.

Then the pegasi started jumping on the rain clouds, making the water start to come out and rain on the army. They all gasped at the sight of this and immediately started smiling at the sight of rain. They all opened their mouths, catching the rain that was falling from the clouds.

'Ya see?! Princess Celestia does care about us! All of us! We shouldn't fight her when she's doin her best! And we shouldn't fight between each other either! It ain't right! 'Specially when fightin, only leads ta more fightin!" I told them as they enjoyed the rain. "Now what do ya say? Can we just agree ta stop before we even gotta fight?" I asked them, hoping they would agree to peace.

"OH SHUT IT!" I heard Whipper call out, seeing where this was going. He used his whip and hit the cloud closest to him, making it break apart since all the water had already drained from it. "You really think these simple-minded fools are just gonna stop fightin fer me?! Just 'cause Princess Celestia sent a bunch a clouds?! Yeah right! Come on y'all! Stop listenin ta this here freak! He's a pegasus! What good have pegasuses ever done fer us Earth Ponies?! Huh?! Get yer heads on straight and stop actin like idiots!" Whipper yelled out to his army in rage that they were starting to reconsider revolting.

To bad for him that he just helped them make up their minds. They all started to glare at Whipper, realizing just who they were fighting for. Then, one by one, they threw down their weapons and flags that were dedicated to Whipper, 'resigning' from being in his army for good.

"WHAT?!" Whipper exclaimed, caught off guard by how they were all giving up the revolt. All that was left was his two original lackies, and they looked about ready to quit too after what he said. "YA KNOW WHAT?!... FINE! I don't need y'all! 'Sides! I still got this!"

He then bent down and grabbed the... cloth that was the front of the building? And in one tug of the cloth, he let go and the cloth fell to the ground, revealing that Whipper had been standing a giant cage filled with what looked like thirty Timberwolves. One of them being one giant alpha Timberwolf. They were all trying to get out of the cage to attack every pony that was in the Whippin' Grounds/Town Square.

Every pony in the Town Square gasped that Whipper was seriously thinking about just unleashing the Timberwolves on us all, without so much as a second thought,

"And ta prove that I ain't some pony y'all can just quit on, I think I'm gonna test these Timberwolves on Pony Valley 'fore I use em on Princess Celestia!" He then cackled more madly than he had ever cackled before, proving just how far he had gone into Crazyville.

"Whipper, think about what yer doin!" I yelled out at him, flying over to where he was. From where he was, he could simply buck one side of the cage and it would open it up.

"Oh, I am Fly Boy! I'm teachin this town, that ya don't turn on THE WHIPPER!" He yelled as he shoved me a few feet away, allowing him to wind up his hind legs so he could buck the side of the cage down.

"NO!" I yelled out, trying to fly back over to stop him, but it was too late. So after he bucked one side of the cage, it easily started to fall to the ground. But before it did, I caught it and tried to keep it up as much as I could. Sadly, I wasn't going to be able to keep it up forever since the Timberwolves were trying to push the side down the rest of the way.

"EVERY PONY RUN!" I yelled out, knowing that I was about to give out. Most of them took my warning and started to run, but about ten familiar faces all stayed to help. Nine faces I did not want to see help me fight these wooden wolves to the death.

Diane Sarsaparilla, Golden Jewel, Sparkle Bright, Tune, Flitter Calm, Dusty, Crafty Arts, Old Yeller, and even that cowardly Mayor!

"What are y'all doin?! GO!" I commanded them, not wanting any of them to get hurt or worse. And as I thought of that, I felt the picture under my hat start to change. Only, it wasn't just changing once. It was changing again and again. That was when I realized that the future was wavering based on whatever happens here. And I also found out that...

"No way Sheriff! You might be crazy enough ta challenge Whipper and his army a wolves, but yer not goin down alone!" Tune yelled out, wanting to play hero.

"Yeah, what the lizard said!" Dusty agreed, not really meaning to insult Tune. He honestly didn't know he was a dragon. "We ain't a runnin from tha fight if are leader ain't!" He added.

"You've been sayin how Whipper needs ta be stopped!" The mayor out of them all continued. "I might be in charge 'round these parts, but I ain't lettin the first Sheriff a Pony Valley go down cause of a mad stallion like Whipper!" He yelled out, picking up a nearby pitchfork some pony left behind.

Bright then used her magic to levitate some weapons over to the others as she spoke up. "And the same goes for the rest of us!" She said.

"YEAH!" The others yelled out in agreement.

That's when I realized that this is just like before. When I got all of my friends to let go of the rope to sacrifice me. And now, here I was again. Only, with a different reason. I should've kept trying to run for my life and not give up on my friends.

Well now I wasn't about to argue when it was pointless. I smiled confidentially and nodded, knowing that if they were anything like their great-grand children, they weren't going to give up.

"Oh how touching!" Whipper yelled out, the end of his whip hitting my right arm. I drew it back in pain, which caused me to lose the grip on the side of the cage. Making it fall over.

Whipper might've been the only pony trying to over-throw Princess Celestia now, even more since his two henchmen abandoned him, but he was still behind a group of hungry Timberwolves. And me and my nine pony army was the buffet.

"Now go my Timberwolves! DINNER TIME!" He yelled out, cackling mad as all his wolves charged outside of the cage, except for the alpha wolf who was staying right inside.

The twenty-nine Timberwolves all looked towards my friends, ready to eat. But before they could charge at them, my friends got the first shot as a pitchfork came down and struck one of the Timberwolves in the head. Destroying the head and making the rest just fall apart into soon to be used fire wood.

"UP HERE!" All of the wolves, me, and Whipper, looked up and saw Tune riding Flitter Calm. Flitter Calm was in the air with a bad full of small rocks, as Tune had some of the rocks in his claw. He started throwing them, hitting about five of the Timberwolves below, which drove them mad. "Catch us if you can you wooden freaks!" Tune taunted as Flitter Calm then started flying away, low to the ground. The five wolves that got hit then started running after the two of them, leaving only twenty-three three wolves left to fight off in the Town Square.

"Whatever!" Whipper said, ignoring the fact that now only twenty-three Timberwolves were left for us to fight. "Those two won't last long. Anyway... ATTACK!" Whipper commanded his wolves.

They all turned their attention back on the remaining seven of my friends, leaving me to fight Whipper. Sadly, I wasn't aiming for Whipper just yet.

As Bright and Jewel launched two pitchforks at the horde of timber wolves, both of them hit two different wolves that were in the front, killing them. And as the wolves all growled towards the two unicorns, I acted fast by slamming one wolves in the back of the group into oblivion with my iron tail. This now only leaving twenty to deal with.

Sadly, the wolves didn't even do as much as glance at me as about seven of them started charging in at Bright and jewel, who saw this and ran for their lives, making the wolves chase after them.

After the wolves passed the group, Crafty yelled out, "Hold on Jewel, I'm comin!" He said, running after the wolves ten seconds later without a second thought. He had his mind set on saving Golden Jewel, and I knew that he wasn't going to change his mind about that.

"Well, they're even more doomed than the scaly freak and the pegawuss!" Whipper exclaimed, laughing his head off at the predicament we were in.

"HEY! No pony calls Flitter Calm a wuss!" The Mayor said, defending his crush by speaking up. Though after saying that, the wolves all turned to him. Making him shrink behind Old Yeller in fear. "Go get em Sheriff!" He yelled out in anger, though he was acting cowardly.

"Yes sir!" I said, listening to the pony who was technically my boss. Though, I would've gladly charged at Whipper without any pony needing to tell me.

And with how Whipper was laughing, he didn't see me flying at him until it was too late. When he turned his attention to me, I had already tackled him off the giant cage and to the ground.

After doing that, the remaining thirteen wolves charged at my four remaining friends, making them all dodge in different directions.

Old Yeller flew into the air, three wolves trying as hard as they could to jump up and catch him. He then flew off down another direction to try to lose the wolves in the buildings.

Diane and Dusty ran into Diane's Lagoon in hopes to get away from the wolves. That wasn't good though as seven wolves chased after them and tried to get in, Dusty and Diane piling tables and chairs against the doorway.

That left the remaining three wolves to focus on the Mayor who handled it in the only way he knew how. "AHHHHHHHHH!" He yelled out as he took off running down the one remaining road no pony else had gone down, the three wolves right behind him.

"Looks like it's just you and me ta end it Fly Boy!" He said, getting his whip ready. "Say good-bye ta that other eye!" He said, winding his arm back to send the whip at me.

This might take a while.

The Mayor's POV

"AAAAHHHHH!" I screamed my head off as I ran for my life down the street, three Timberwolves right behind me. "Okay!Gottarun!Gottarun! Thenhide!Thenbeg!Thenrun!Andeventuallytheymightgiv eupand-" As I was talking just about as fast as I was running, one of the wolves almost bit my tail.

"BWAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!" I yelled out even louder, scared for my life more than ever! I admit it! I'm a wimp! A coward! And I am only good at two things! Speech, and RUNNING FOR MY LIFE! Thank Celestia one of those things are useful right now, or I would be Timberwolf chow already!

But still, even though I was running for my life faster than any pony alive, my mind was going even faster! I knew that I had to think of a way out of this right now, because even though I could keep running for hours, so could they! They were living wood for Celestia's sake! They could run for days and the only thing they had to worry about was catching fire from the heat of the sun!

Wait a second! THE SUN! Celestia's beloved sun! That's it! These things always camp out in that swamp Sheriff Alamo calls Everfree, because the plant life keeps it all shady! So all I gotta do is get somewhere sunny...

That stage in front of my mayor's office! That's perfect! I always hated having to give speeches from outside that blasted office because of the sun shining right in my eyes! It even lead to me getting some serious sunburns even after a small, five-minute speech!

And if it was a bother to me... Let's see how these hounds like it!

I then turned my cowardly running towards that blasted stage where it all began. And in a matter of ten seconds, I was already coming up to it.

I quickly jumped up and stood on the stage, the other two Timberwolves jumping up right behind me. The floor of the stage was already hot, making it hard for me to stand on because it was so hot. To bad it was even worse for the two wolves.

Their wooden paws started to smoke and when they turned towards the sun and saw it, they immediately bursted into flames. The two of them ran off the stage to try to get some shade, but it was too late! Those two blasted Timberwolves fell apart not seconds later!

...Wait... Two? Weren't there three Timber- "Grrr..." I turned behind me to see that the third Timberwolf was right behind me, the curtain drooped over him to keep him from bursting into flame like the other two.

"Well... GOOD-BYE!" I said to the wolf as I turned around calmly and then patiently... RAN FOR MY LIFE ONCE AGAIN!

To bad that when I was gone, I didn't see that the wolf tried to chase after me, but tripped over the curtain that was drooped open, leaving him on the floor of the stage where he caught on fire moments later. So that left me running for my life, not realizing that nothing was chasing me anymore.

Tune's POV

"How's it goin?" Flitter Calm asked me calmly, not able to look behind her since she was flying too fast to be distracted since we were low to the ground.

"Well," I started, throwing rock after rock at them to try to slow them down. But I couldn't put enough force in it to stop them. Only enough force to make them angrier. "it could be goin better!" I finished.

"Still five of em chasin me?" She asked.

"Yep." I answered simply.

"They right behind me?" She asked, these questions not really sounding like they had a point.

"Yep." I answered, wondering why she wanted to know that exactly.

"Hold on." She told me calmly.

I couldn't really figure out what her plan was because her tone of voice didn't make me understand much. But I didn't question it as I stopped throwing rocks and grabbed the end of her mane, getting ready for whatever her plan was.

And good thing I did because she suddenly swerved towards the side of the road, where she then flew right over an abandoned cart. Two of the wolves that were in the front fell for the trick and smashed into the cart, destroying it in the process.

The other three had enough time though to jump over the cart or simply get around it, but at least it was easier to take care of the now.

That's when I got an idea. I saw a general store sign hanging from a pole by two really weak chain links up ahead. "Flitter Calm! Fly under that there sign up ahead!" I instructed her.

"Got it." She said, me not sure if she understood my plan or if she was just playing along with it because of her tone. Jeez, you'd think that she'd have at least a little emotion in her voice since we're fighting for our lives, don't ya think?

But regardless, she did just that and I reached above me, grabbing the sign. It easily came off like I thought and I turned around on top of Flitter Calm's back. "Okay Timberwolves! We ain't... FER SALE!" I yelled at them, throwing the general store sign at the group of three. The two in front jumped over the sign, prepared, but the third one behind them tripped over it and fell to the ground, falling apart.

That was the good news of my plan. Sadly, the bad news out-weighed the good. Because of me throwing the sign, it made Flitter Calm go off-balance from flying. Causing her to fly out of control and fall to the ground, making us come to a stop at a crossroads.

We both looked towards the two remaining Timberwolves who were slowly coming up to us, hungry. I looked towards Flitter Calm, hoping she had a plan, but the one time where keeping a calm mind was needed, she was just as scared as I was. Actually, she looked about ready to break out into tears from how scared she was.

The two wolves closed in on us, knowing they won. We both tried to scoot back, but to make it worse we backed into the wall of a building. We're done for.

"DON'TEATME,DON'TEATME,PLEASE DO NOT EAT M-WAAAHHH!" All of a sudden, out of no where, the mayor of all ponies ran down the street we were on as fast as a speeding bullet. And in the process, he managed to crash into the two Timberwolves, turning them into mulch.

"Huh... What happened?" He asked, quickly getting up from tripping over the fertilizer that was two Timberwolves.

"CHITTER CHATTER!" Flitter Calm yelled out in pure joy as she hugged the still confused Mayor who was apparently named...hehe...Chitter Chatter?

"BWAHAHAHAHAHA!" I laughed out loud, falling over by the sound of his name! What kind of mayor is named Chitter Chatter?!

But they ignored me as the mayor was getting more confused by the second. "Flitter Calm? What happened? Where am I? Are them Timberwolves gone?" He asked, looking back at where he came from. But seeing no Timberwolves behind him, he sighed in relief and looked around, seeing the wood on the ground and down the street we came from. "And what happened here?" He asked, still confused.

"Oh like you don't know!" She said, so happy right now. "You saved us!" She told him, still hugging him with glee.

"I-I DID?!" He asked, shocked that he somehow saved our lives. Honestly, I can't believe it myself. And I saw the whole thing happen for Celestia's sake!

"Oh don't act so modest! You're my hero!" She said, kissing him on the cheek.

"I am..." He said like a lovestruck fool as he grew a big stupid grin on his face. All of this because he ACCIDENTALLY saved Flitter Calm's life! I face-clawed at the sight of it before remembering.

"Um guys? We still gotta help the Sheriff and the others." I reminded them.

"Oh, you're right Tune!" Flitter Calm said, suddenly full of emotion instead of being overly calm like usual. "Chitter! Follow us!" She instructed as I jumped back on her back.

"You got it Flitter!" Chitter said courageously, getting back up and following us towards the Town Square. Great, now this 'hero' thing's gone to his head. Oh well, I guess I can let him get a big ego. After all, he needs to be happy about something. And that name of his wasn't exactly anything to smile at. Unless you were laughing at it that is.

Bright's POV

After destroying those two Timberwolves by levitating the pitchforks at them, me and Jewel made a mad dash for the Shining Gemstone in hopes of baricading ourselves inside until we got something else to stop the wolves. Oh why did we have to be chased down by seven of those things?!

So after getting to the jewelry store, we did just as I planned and put a couch against the door. But the Timberwolves were very persistent and started to slam into the door in hopes of getting inside. And it was starting to work.

"Oh Bright, what do we do?!" Jewel asked, very scared for her life. It being with a little too much drama than necessary.

"Get the tools! They should be good enough to fend off the-" But before I could finish that thought, I was interrupted by a... Battle cry?

"AHH!" We heard a battle cry from outside as some pony came to try to save us from outside.

I looked out one window as Jewel looked out the other. "I can't believe it." I said, not sure whether to be thankful, or be scared for the ponies life since it's one vs. seven.

"Crafty Arts!" Jewel squealed, happy that her coltfriend had come to save us.

Crafty Arts had already taken out three of the Timberwolves by surprise, ropping one wolves head and making it whiplash into two other Timberwolves. Thus taking out three wolves already.

He then took the decapitated timber wolf head and threw it at another wolf, making the two heads collide. Thus defeating another Timberwolf. Now there were only three.

But he wasn't done as he pulled out that statue of his. "You hungry wolfy?" He asked, looking at the wolf in the middle. "Then eat Stepony!" He yelled out as he threw the statue in the air, turned around, and bucked it towards the wolf. Making it fly into the wolf and making it and the statue break into a million pieces.

But seeing the last two Timberwolves now growl towards him, he started backing up. He was out of ideas and was now defenceless.

"Bright! The tools!" Jewel reminded me, taking a small mallet and opening her window. I took some metal tongs and did the same. We then threw the tools at the wolves, stopping them before they could get to Crafty.

We ran back out, glad that all the Timberwolves were now defeated. Crafty and Jewel hugged each other, glad that the other was alive.

"Crafty... Your statue... That was your very first one." She said, sad that his very first sculpture was destroyed trying to save us.

"I can always make another. It's just a statue. But yer irreplaceable." He said, glad she was okay.

As they continued to hug, I cleared my throat. Once they looked at me, I started talking. "Yeah, I know that this is a real touching moment and all, but can it wait until we know that the others are safe too?!" I said, trying to focus on the task at hand.

They both turned red and were embarrassed that we were all in the middle of a war basically. They then nodded and we all headed out to help finish the job.

But after we left we didn't notice the Timberwolf pieces start to glow green as they all started to come back to life, now coming together to form a wolf that was as big as the alpha Timberwolf that was in that cage. And after reforming, it saw us heading back towards the town. It glared at us and slowly started to follow, wanting revenge.

---

Dusty's POV

"This isn't good! They're gonna get in!" I yelled out, holding my pitchfork towards the doorway, which the five Timberwolves were about to break through. In one way, I was glad that only five Timberwolves that followed us. But I was also kind of scared for the others since they all had a fair share of wolves to fight off as well.

"No they ain't!" Diane said, as she looked up the staircase and towards the second floor. "Dusty, hold em off! I gotta get somethin from upstairs!" She said, starting to go up the stairs.

"WHAT?! Hold em off?!" I asked, wondering just what her plan was.

"Yep! Hold em off! I'll be back down here in a minute er two!" She said, now running up the stairs to get something.

"Two minutes..." I gulped. "No prob Diane..." I mumbled, not sure if I could do it. but seeing as how the wolves were about to bust in, I had to stay strong! "Don't worry Diane, I won't let you down!"

That's when they busted in. I acted fast and threw the pitchfork at the door and tried to get one before they got inside. To bad it sailed right over their heads and outside, missing them completely.

"Oops..." I said, now backing up in fear. They started to come towards me, but when I backed up enough, I stepped on a loose floor board. The other side of the board then shot up, hitting one of the wolves right in the jaw. That made it break apart, now leaving four more to deal with.

Then, one of them then lunged towards me, making me jump back in fear and fall behind Diane's counter. That's where I found a bunch of bottles of ingredients. Glass bottles of cinamin, some kinda roots, sugar, honey, and a bunch of other ingredients. All of which were in glass bottles.

So seeing that I couldn't think of any other way to hold them off, I started throwing the bottles at them. They started backing away towards the door with each bottle that hit them. And it made me start to be more confident in holding them back.

"Ha! Ya like that?! No?! Then how's about ya go back to yer roots?!" I yelled out, throwing the glass of sassafras roots at them.

"Oh sorry about that, I'm just havin fun! Don't be lemon heads!" I exclaimed, throwing a glass of lemon zest at them next.

"Oh! Oh! Wait a sec, I got another! How 'bout y'all..." I said, trying to find a bottle of something that I could make a pun with. "...Grow a sweet tooth!" I asked, throwing a bottle of vanilla at them.

"Or what about...Uh...Dang, what else is there?!" I said looking for another bottle I could make a pun with. But as I was looking for another bottle, they started to recover from the random things being thrown at them.

"Here we are!" I said, looking up from the counter with a bottle of seaweed in hoof. But when I came out from behind the counter I came face to face with one of the Timberwolves as the others were still recovering. I gulped. "Kelp!" I yelled out, saying the joke with fear.

But before the Timberwolf could even touch me, the floor from above started cracking. We both looked up, only for the piece of floor above the Timberwolf to fall and land on him, destroying him instantly. And on top of that piece of wood was Diane! With-a water hose?

None the less, I was happy to see her. "Diane!" I yelled out.

She looked over and saw me, then smiled greatly. "Dusty!"

I gasped then pointed towards the remaining three Timberwolves. "Timberwolf!" I yelled out to her.

"Sarsaparilla!" She yelled out.

"Sarsaparilla?" I asked, confused.

"Sarsaparilla!" She then turned towards the wolves and used the hose, making a strong jet of sarsaparilla shoot out and hit the Timberwolves, making them fall apart instantly from the strength of the hose.

She then turned off the hose in victory. "I knew that my Sarsaparilla Hose would do the trick! Why, it always on angry customers!" She then laughed at the memory of that.

But I didn't care as I tackled her with a hug, happy that she saved my life. "Oh thank ya Diane! I would'a been a goner if ya didn't come when ya did!" I said, admitting that I was losing.

"Oh come now. Ya would'a knocked em dead if'n ya had better jokes!" She said with an upbeat attitude. "Now come on! We got an evil whippin' pony tyrant ta stop!" She said, now running out the door.

I quickly followed, ready to put this all to a stop once and for all!

Blitz's POV

Jeez! I can't keep this up much longer. Deflecting and dodging each crack from that annoying whip is getting really tiring! And to top that, he's hit me like seven times! Luckily, it doesn't hurt all that much, but it still didn't feel good getting whipped all those times.

"He he heeee..." Whipper cackled, still perfectly fine. "Ya gettin tired Lonestar?! Well ya don't gotta worry much longer! Cause soon it'll all be over!" He told me, a huge smile growing on his face.

"What... Are you... Talking about..." I asked, breathing in between breathes. I was getting too tired, and I was about ready to fall over at this point.

"Ain't it obvious?! Yer nine stupid friends are finished! My wolves are probably usin their bones as toothpicks right now!" As he said that, I felt the picture in my hat permanently change.

I went wide-eyed, thinking that he was right and that the picture was only proving so. "No..." I said, backing up a little. "No, it ain't possible..."

"Oh but it is!" He continued. "There ain't no way in Equestria yer friends beat my precious Timberwol-" "BOOM!" We both turned to see the doors of Diane's Lagoon burst open, Diane and Dusty walking outside.

"What?!" Whipper shouted, surprised that they were fine.

"Diane?! Dusty?! Yer both okay!" I yelled out, happy that they were safe.

"Uh-huh! Used the good old Sarsaparilla Hose ta take em down!" Diane yelled out, gloating about their victory.

"What?" Whipper asked, shocked that five of his wolves were taken out.

Just then, Flitter Calm, Tune, and The Mayor all came back. "You three are alright too?!" I asked, really happy that now five of my nine friends were okay.

"Yes siry bob!" The Mayor said. "And all thanks to Chitter Chatter! AKA, me!" He said, pointing to himself. Flitter Calm sighed in happiness as he said that, where as Tune face-clawed at it.

"Wait a second, how did you even-" But before Whipper could even question it, three more of my friends came back. Golden Jewel, Sparkle Bright, and Crafty Arts. "HUH?!" Was all Whipper could say at the sight of those three.

"Sheriff! Oh, we're so glad you're okay!" Bright said, seeing me still alive.

"Same goes ta you three! But how'd ya take care a seven Timberwolves?" I asked, curious.

"Oh it's all thanks to Crafty Arts here and his brilliant statue, Stepony!" Jewel said, boasting for Arts as he just scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.

"Now who in tarnation is Stepony?!" Whipper demanded an answer, really surprised that they were all fine while his wolves were taken out.

But before any pony could answer him, the last of them came back. Old Yeller.

"Sorry it took so long every pony! Took longer than I thought to single-hoofingly take out five Timberwolves!" He said, boasting about his victory.

"How did you pull that off?" Arts asked, wondering just how Old Yeller took out just as many Timberwolves as he did.

"Uhh..."

---

Old Yeller's Flashback

"HA HA HA! Run, run, run as fast as ya can! Ya can't catch me, I'm the Old Yeller Po-" "SPLAT!" "Ow..." As I was flying from the Timberwolves, gloating at how they couldn't catch me, I didn't look ahead in time and ended up flying into the side of a building.

But luckily the Timberwolves weren't looking ahead either since they were watching me, and they all ended up running into the building as well. All of them falling apart from doing so.

After I peeled myself off of the wall, I looked down and saw them all destroyed. "Well... At least that took care of them. Now ta help the Sheriff!" I said, flying back towards the Town Square.

---

Blitz's POV

"... Pure. Instinct." Old Yeller said to us all, pretending to act like a hero.

"Yeah, sure." Crafty Arts said, shaking his head.

We all then re-focused our attention on Whipper, who was starting to back up. "What now Whipper? Ya can't take all of us on." I said to him, ready to beat him once and for all.

"Yer right, I can't. But luckily, I still got Alpha!" He said gesturing to the last Timberwolf in the cage, which he named Alpha. "Break the cage!" He commanded.

And without wasting another second, the wolf got up on its hind legs and ripped the roof of the cage off in one single move, causing the rest of the cage to break apart. Just that demonstration of the giant Timberwolf was a little un-nerving. Whipper cackled a little at the look of the other's faces.

"But wait, that ain't all! Since the lot of ya just love playin hero, we're gonna need a damsel in distress right?!" He then tugged on a rope that was next to the cage and that's when this whole situation just got worse.

At the end of that rope was the top of the water tower, and after tugging on the rope, the top of the water tower turned on top of the frame, revealing some pony that had been missing from all of this action the whole time.

Spectrum Light. Gagged and tied to a pole that was embedded in the side of the water tower. She was trying to get free, but when she saw us she stopped and gave me an apologetic look for not believing me in the first place.

I immediately glared at Whipper. "Okay! Yer goin down Whipper!" I yelled at him, now officially ticked off. Screw trying to end this with peace! He just tied one of my best friend's great-grandma to the side of a water tower! The Olive Branch has now been thrown into a fire! And the fire was going to help me brand another horse shoe mark into his shoulder!

"Oh am I?! Cause Alpha begs ta differ! Alpha!" The giant Timberwolf looked towards Whipper as he pointed towards Spectrum. "Dinner!" He yelled out.

Alpha then looked towards Spectrum, getting ready to feed. But I wasn't about to let that happen. As Alpha got to the bottom of the water tower, I flew forward as fast as I could, ramming into Alpha. This caused him to trip and fall to his side, but he wasn't out of the fight yet.

"Come on every pony! We need to help Sheriff Lonestar fight off that giant Timberwolf!" Bright yelled out to all of them.

"But if yer all helpin Alamo," Whipper started to say as he pointed behind him. "Then who's gonna help y'all fight him off?!"

The nine of my friends then turned around to see a Timberwolf the same size as Alpha coming up towards them. It had followed Bright, Jewel, and Arts here to get revenge.

"AH!" Chitter yelled out, terrified of the wolf glaring at them.

"HA HA! Have fun with that!" Whipper said to them, now keeping his attention on them.

While he was doing that, I got the gag off of Spectrum so she could talk.

"Oh Alamo, thank you! I am so sorry for what I did before!" She said quickly, wanting to get that much out.

"Don't worry 'bout that none!" I said, looking back at Alpha. Who was already getting back up.

He tried to smack me out of the air with his wooden paw, but I quickly dodged and sent my iron tail forward towards his paw, hitting it and making it fall apart. Making the big pieces of wood fall to the ground and hit the frame of the water tower, making it weaker.

So after destroying his left paw, he then tried to hit me again with his right paw. Which resulted in the same thing. I dodged it and destroyed it, forcing him to stand on his hind legs.

"Hey Fly Boy!" Whipper called out. I turned to him, wondering just what he wanted now. Luckily Alpha wasn't attacking as he talked. "Ya might be able ta stop Alpha, but can ya stop him and Omega 'fore he eats yer other friends?!" Whipper asked, gesturing towards the other giant wolf, Omega, who had cornered my friends and was about to crush them with his giant size.

After seeing them trapped, I froze up. I didn't know what to do. If I were to stop Omega and save Bright and the others, Spectrum would be doomed. But if I stopped Alpha and saved Spectrum, Omega would kill my other friends. I had to figure out a way to stop them both, and just fighting them wasn't going to help.

I looked towards Omega and the others, seeing that they were backed into the side of a building that had a big sign on top. With just a little force, that sign could fall over and crush Omega. But even if I did that, Alpha would still have enough time to catch Spectrum Light.

But still, how do I stop Alpha? Yeah, his front legs might be gone, but he was still about ready to fight me. I needed some way to destroy him completely, but what?

"CRACK!" Me, Spectrum, and Alpha all looked at the base of the water tower to see that cracks were forming. This water tower was going down, and right on Alpha.

That left me with only one option. The upgrade I installed into my arm. Hopefully it would work well enough, because it was my only chance.

I quickly turned towards Spectrum Light, who was still tied down to the pole that was embedded into the water tower. "Run." I told her simply, turning around and cutting the rope with my metal tail, making Spectrum fall towards the ground. When she landed, she did just as I asked and ran away from the water tower as it started falling over onto Alpha, taking care of one problem.

I quickly turned towards Omega and the others, Omega about ready to crush them. That's when I used the new upgrade. I pointed my left metal hoof towards that sign above Omega, put my right normal hoof on my left metal wrist, and turned it clockwise. This made my left metal hoof shoot out towards the sign thanks to the spring, and the two hooks kept the rope tied to my left metal hoof and my left metal arm, keeping it connected. The whole thing was basically a grapple gun installed in my left metal arm.

After the grapple hoof being shot forward, it caught the sign above. And after tugging the rope, the sign tipped over and fell forward, crushing Omega before he could crush my friends.

"YES!" I cheered, happy that it worked perfectly. Sadly, I wasn't able to work on it some more so I had to manually put the grapple back together by dragging it back over to where I was and fit the rope inside my arm and click my hoof back into place.

But before I could get my hoof back over to where I was, Whipper got to it and started pulling on it with great anger. Thus slamming me ino the ground.

"You... You varmit..." Whipper said coldly as he glared at me. "You ruined everythang! I was so close ta taken over Equestria and becomin king! And now you came in and ruined everythang!" He yelled out at me, holdin me down on the ground with one hoof with sudden strength that was fueled by his great anger.

"It's over Whipper! Look around!" I told him, not fighting him anymore. He glanced aroun him real quick, seeing all nine of my friends, not counting Spectrum, who had surrounded him. "You lost! Ya ain't taken over nothin!" I yelled out at him. "Just. Give. Up." I said to him slowly, him knowing that I was right.

But he wouldn't accept it. "Ya know what... I don't even care anymore!" He yelled out. "You might'a turned every pony 'gainst me, ya might'a stopped my plans, an ya might'a destroyed my Timberwolves! But that don't mean I'ma lettin ya get away with it!" He said as he reached into his back pocket and pulled out a wood carving knife. "If I'm goin down! Yer goin down with me!"

"NO!" I yelled out, now trying to get free. He had lost it. He had gone insane. He was mad before with trying to use Timberwolves on innocent ponies without a second thought, but now he was just out of his mind!

And as he started to bring the knife down, I closed my eyes. Thinking it was all over. But before he could even touch me with the knife, I was saved. But it wasn't my friends around me that managed to stopped him, or Spectrum, or any pony else nearby. But it was the same thing that started it all.

A portal. An orange portal with multiple other colors mixed in with it.

I immediately slipped from under Whipper's grasp, now flying towards the portal with great speed. The portal only had an effect on me, while every pony else just watched in shock. Since my grapple hoof was still under Whipper's hoof, I reached the end of my rope and just hung in mid-air in front of the portal. Whipper being the only reason I was still here.

"No..." I said, not wanting to go where ever This portal was going to take me. Because I knew that whatever happens here today has to be the end of me. And if this portal was only dragging me in, then that must mean this is how I'm gonna go!

"He he he!" Whipper cackled madly in happiness, liking this whole portal. The others were staring in shock at what was happening, not sure what to do. "Oh how the tables are a turnin!" He boasted.

"Whipper! Don't you dare think about lettin go!" I yelled out, not able to think of anything else to do. Whipper was my only hope of survival, and that wasn't a good thing! I was out of tricks, ideas, and everything else. Nothing was going to work for me here.

"Oh, don't worry 'bout that none! I ain't gonna let go!" Whipper yelled out with a smirk.

"You... You aren't?" Tune asked, slightly confused about Whipper's change of heart.

"Why, not at all! I think instead I'll just severe his life line!" Whipper said, throwing the knife down at the rope, splitting it apart.

"NO!" I yelled out, flying into the portal without any way of getting out. I was doomed. It was over for me.

As I went through the portal, it closing right behind me, I could only make out one more thing some pony said.

"TAKE THIS WHIPPER!" Right after some pony said that, there was a flash of lightning. That's all I could make out before the portal closed behind me, and I passed out as I traveled to where ever this portal was taking me.

---

And so the cliffhanger of the longest chapter has finally come! I thank you every pony that has read this whole chapter, because I know it probably got boring along the way. Still, I hope you liked it! In a few days time I should have the final chapter of the finale up and running! But until then... Good-bye every pony! And I hope that you all had fun reading this chapter.

QotC: If you had the chance to throw anything, that wouldn't immediately kill Whipper while he was tied up, what would it be?

(Ex: Rotton Tomato, Arrow to the knee, toaster, angry squirrel with rabies, ANYTHING!)
