(Subspace castle of time & space)

(Operating Room)

“You think they’re alive?” Asked Sweetie Belle looking at the two displace humans on the operating table.

 “Well we did find them in from of the mistress’ doorstep.” Said Scootaloo poking at the human with blonde hair. “It has been a while since we seen anyone here. Maybe we could use their remains for something useful?”

“Maybe, but I don’t think she’ll like us doing that. Remember what happen last time?” Said Applebloom. “Now come on, we better get them out of here before something weird happens again.”

Suddenly, the other human started to stir, sitting up in a flash and letting out big yawn. “Aah, that was a good nap,” she said idly, stretching out her arms.

“Holy crap, one of them is alive!?” Said Scootaloo surprised at this. “How is that even possible?”

“Idiot, some displaced humans and breath in subspace remember?” Said Sweetie Belle.

“Hmm?” the black-haired girl asked, finally noticing the Crusaders. Upon doing so, however, she deadpanned. “Oh great, more of this shit.” She sighed before kicking her companion. “Yo Kat, wake the fuck up.”

“Gah!” the blonde shouted, immediately at attention. “I’m up! I’m up!”

“Gah, the other one is alive as well!?”

“Scootaloo.” Sweetie Belle had a deadpanned look on her face when Scootaloo looked at her. “Remember.”

“Right…..sorry.”

“Oh look,” the blonde cooed. “It’s the Crusaders, don’t they look so cute in their little space suits?”

“...you have issues, sister,” the other deadpanned.

“Hey these outfits are not cute.” Said Scootaloo blushing from Kat’s comment. “They were given to us by mistress Amelia Der Vogelweid herself after saving her from her imprisonment.”

“Still cute~.”

Scootaloo didn’t say anything, only gave Kat an adorable pouty angry look on her face. “I’m not cute.” She whispered.

“So, mind telling us who you two are?” Asked Sweetie Belle.

“The name’s Kat Shifter,” the blonde introduced herself. “This is my friend, sister, and lieutenant, Raven Masters.”

Raven groaned. “Once, just once, Kat, could we have a fucking normal day without all this Displaced shit? The soldiers are starting to question things and the more they do that, the less often they’re slaying the enemy.”

“In our lives, Raven.... nope. This happens too much. No more normal days.”

“God-fucking-dammit!”

“I take it she’s not use to the whole displace thing I take it?” Applebloom asked.

“I’m used to it… it’s just fucking annoying when you’re busy trying to save the damn world.”

“At least you have a world to save. We…..pretty much don’t.” Said Sweetie Belle.

“I know that feeling,” Kat said with a nod.

“Unless you cause you’re own world to explode…..hehehe…..we are so going to pony hell when we die.” Said Scootaloo. “But beside that, how did you two get here anyway?”

“No clue,” Raven said, rubbing her head. “Last I remember, we took a nap on the train heading for the remains of the Crystal Empire.”

“Hm…..five bits says that Mistress Amelia has something to do with it.” Said Sweetie Belle. “She really need to take a break from making that teleportation device for us.” Right on cue there was a loud exploding sound coming from the other side of the castle.

“DAMMIT! WHY THE FUCK DOES THIS DAMN WHITE DIAMOND NOT BREAK!?” Said a voice coming from the hallway.

“And that must be the mistress now I guess?”

“She sounds stressed,” Kat commented. “Well, shall we meet this Amelia?”

“Let’s not and say we did.”

“Oh, loosen up, Raven. Maybe if she’s an inventor, she’ll have some weapon or tech that we could use to fight back against Crystal.”

Raven thought on that for a moment. “Well, any kind of help is good help, I suppose. Sure, why the hell not.”

    “Then follow me please.” Said Sweetie Belle walking towards the door. “Applebloom & Scootaloo, please check and make sure their aren’t any more dead displaced bodies lying around the castle grounds.” Scootaloo and Applebloom nodded as the teleported off to the outside of the castle.

“Where are we anyway?” Raven asked. “This space?”

“You are in Subspace actually, this castle was originally Canterlot Castle but after what happened 5,000 years ago. This became our home now.” Sweetie Belle answered.

Raven looked to Kat for explanation. “Think worse than space, but not as bad as the Void.” She made an “Oh” and nodded.

“Yes like that.” Sweetie Belle pulled on a windowless screen to see how her friends are doing. “Anything on your end girls?”

“We found two of dead bodies. One dressed up as some kind of hockey mask killer with a ponies head in his hand, and another dressed up as dude with needle in his head.” Scootaloo answered.

“Well that’s better then what happen last week. Whose head is it that the human has in its hand?”

“Vinyl Scratch.”

“Great another dead pony…...throw the bodies into the sun, and put the head into the regeneration tube.”

“Roger that. Hey Applebloom chuck the bodies into the sun, but leave the pony’s head.”

“Wow, you three really are on top of things. Too bad you’re too young, otherwise I might have to try n’ enlist you,” Raven commented.

“I’m 212 years old, Applebloom is 200 years old, and Scootaloo is 230 years old. When you become a time tracer you pretty much get the eternal youth thing on your side.”

“Still look too young. Plus, I meant my crusaders. Kat’s the only exception to the no aliens rule of my army.”

“Understandable, just like here but a little different. Oh we’re here.” Sweetie Belle open the door to Amelia’s lab. Inside it was pretty much what you would see in a resident evil science lab, only instead of mutated humans it was filled with either pony limbs being repaired on or pony bodies.

“Mistress Amelia, we have some guest here to see you!” Amelia took her focus off the pony in the tube and focus her gaze on the two humans next to Sweetie Belle.

“Kat Shifter & Raven Masters I take it?”

“Holy shit!” Raven instinctually pulled out her sword. “That thing is creepy lookin’!”

“Oh I’m sorry my name Amelia Der Vogelweid, and I’m not the human that judges people on how they look.” Amelia said sarcastically. “And put your sword away, this is a place of healing and technology, not a battle field that you two are fighting back in your world.”

“It’s those eyes, girl,” Raven said, slowly sheathing her sword. “They just ain’t right.”

“Well it’s the side effect of traveling through time, that and neutron energy exposure.”

“I’ve seen and experience wibbly wobbly,” Kat said, looking Amelia over a little closer. “But not this bad.”

“Yeah you can thank my brother Eric for that one when he tried to steal Doctor Whooves’ tardis 500 years ago. After all you did met his clone in Amy Anderson’s world.” Amelia said with disgusted expression on her face when she mention his name.

Kat’s eyebrow rose slightly. “That little connard? ...he’s your brother? ...He’s an annoying little salope, you realize this, no?”

“Yes I know that unfortunately. Why do you think I look like this? Been trying to find the real one for past 5,000 years. And the sooner I find him, the sooner I can kill him.”

“Wow, you’re almost as old as my little brother.”

“When you been imprisoned on a world full of ponies to be used as an energy source against your will, it can be a good and bad thing in most cases. Pro, I’m immortal now, con I’m a little bit….unstable and somewhat insane.”

“Aren’t we all?” Kat giggled.

“No,” Raven deadpanned.

“Well aren’t you just a ray of sunshine.” Amelia said which caused Sweetie Belle to giggle a bit. “So what can I do for you two ladies? Something tells me that after seeing most of the stuff we do here, you gonna have some questions about it.”

“I’m good,” Kat shrugged, laying in the air on her back. Raven face-palmed.

“What about you then Raven, got any questions you want answered?”

“Depends, got anything useful for a war effort?”

“Depends on what you need?”

“Got weapons? Kinda still living in the dark ages and pony smiths suck!”

“Applebloom might help you with that, after all she the weapons expert in the castle.” Amelia pulled up a windowless screen just like what Sweetie Belle did. “Hey Applebloom, do we still have that new weapon we made a while back?”

“You mean the photon sword or the neutron sword?”

“Both, Raven here wants some for her world.”

“Are they classified as OP classes?”

Amelia summoned one of her dynamo and scanned both Raven & Kat. “Yep they’re OP class just like me.”

“Okay, I should have 500,000 of them made in less than 5 hours.”

“I’m OP,” Kat clarified. “Raven’s still in training.”

“Hey!”

“Give her a few years she’ll be OP class in no time. Anything else you guys need? Cause so far we pretty much have nothing scheduled at the moment, so I’ll be willing to answer any question about me if you want to know who I am.”

“I really have no questions,” Kat said. “I’ve been dealing with all this space and science stuff for about fifteen years now. I did my thesis on Void physics… or lack there of, actually.”

“Hm…..makes sense seeing how you’re OP and all and travel the multiverse.” Amelia said as one of dynamo started beeping. “Hold on a second.” She said as she pulled up a digital screen showing six different color tubes with the mane 6 in it. “About time they’re done.”

“Done with what?” Raven asked, a little curious.

“A displaced human came by here, and wanted me to revive his mane six from his world. Normally if it was somepony other than the mane six, this would of taken less than a week to bring a pony back from the dead.”

“Ooh, interesting,” Kat remarked.

“There are some rules when I do something like that. One, the mane six have to be good guys. Two, the Displaced Human must be a good guy as well. And three, they are not allowed to tell any other humans or ponies about my world.”

“Huh, wow. Almost wish you could restore my world,” Raven remarked.

“I can if you want, but it’ll take up to 4,000 to 5,000 years if you want the slow and steady process?”

“I doubt you’d be able to make things right. So many creatures have been wiped away.”

“You’d be surprised at how many humans said that to mistress Amelia, 2,500 years ago she restored another humans Equestria to how it was when she crashed landed there.” Said Sweetie Belle.

“All I need is a sample of your Equestria. It can be a cell from a plant, the energy from the sun, or hell even a star in that solar system. Just don’t bring me any dark matter stuff, because that stuff is annoying to get out of the atom machine.”

“Yeah… don’t have any of that. None that’s uncorrupted anyway. Crystal’s had a long time to do a lot of damage.”

“I thought I was on Mars when I first showed,” Kat added. “Even has a red sky.”

“Oh corrupted stuff will do, just need to shrink myself down and get an atom from it. Unless you have something from your world, like an item or something that isn’t corrupted?”

“Only my sword which is one of the last relics of the dragons,” she shrugged. “Everything else is just kinda dead. The only living species accounted for are ponies, changelings, breezies, and the few remaining griffin colonies.”

“Perfect! I’ll have Sweetie Belle scan your sword, and you’ll have your world back in couple of years or so. Weapons like that are able to hold a lot of history and DNA.” Amelia said as she motion Raven to hand over her sword to her number one assistant.

“Alright,” Raven said hesitantly, taking out her sword.

“Um Mistress we have a problem.”

“What problem?”

“The machine is still under repair.”

“What? But I thought it was already fixed?”

“It was until that displaced you helped out tried to take it.”

“Dammit, and I had to destroy it along with him so he would cause hell on his world.” Amelia smacked her forehead a couple of time while cursing herself, causing some blood to drip from her head. “I’m starting to think helping others like that was a bad choice in my part.”

“Mistress you’re doing it again.” Said Sweetie Belle. “Why don’t you take a break for awhile from your work and relax.”

Raven sighed in disappointment. “So close, yet always so far away.”

Kat put her hand on her sister’s shoulder. “Hey, don’t worry, Raven. We’ll get your world back.”

Raven shrugged her off. “Oh what do you care?! It’s not your world!” She stormed off into the castle.

“...Dammit...I failed again.” Amelia said as tears started to form around her eyes without her knowing.

“Don’t take it so hard, Amy,” Kat said, hiding a couple tears herself. “Raven’s gone through a lot of pain over the years.”

“I know, I just wanted to help her world out. At least she would have a world to go back to, but for us…..there is no world to go back to.” Before Amelia could say anything else, Sweetie Belle knock her out with a sleep spell to put her to sleep for a while.

“You need to sleep.” Sweetie Belle said as she teleported Amelia to their room. “She still blaming herself after what happen.”

“Unfortunately, that’s not helpful to us at the moment.” Kat sighed. “This is just turning out to be that kind of week.”

“I am very sorry about not being able to help you at the moment. If you came here a few day earlier then we would of helped you with your sister’s world.” Sweetie Belle said bowing down to Kat in apology.

“So, now what are we supposed to do? I’m not exactly sure where we are, so I can’t send us back.”

“When Amelia wakes up she’ll send you back, but for now let’s go see if your sister cooled down a bit.”

(Outside of the Castle)

Raven sat atop the tallest tower of the castle, simply looking out into the void. She sighed deeply, letting one lone tear fall. Sitting only in silences, past memories her only companion.

“I was wondering who was sitting on my tower?” Said Scootaloo sitting next to Raven. “I thought you were Amelia or one of the girls up here.”

“I would rather be alone right now,” she replied, not even looking at the filly.

“I take it Amelia forgot to tell that the scan machine was broken huh?”

“It’s just another saving grace just out of reach.” Raven sighed deeply. “You know, when Kat first showed up, I thought we had the war in the bag. She’s so powerful that I honestly thought we could finally turn the tide in our favor. But the enemy always seems one step ahead.”

“At least you have a world to go back to and to fight for.” Scootaloo hand Raven a candy bar. “Me, bloom, and Belle, we pretty much destroyed our world just to save Amelia. I still can’t believe we just committed genocide on a grand scale.”

“You want to know how to deal with that, talk to Kat, not me,” she grumbled, taking the bar and biting half of it off.

“I’m pretty sure Sweetie Belle is doing that right now, but please tell about this enemy you’re fighting against.”

“We’re fighting… my sister,” Raven admitted.

“You mean Kat?”

“In a sense.”

“Ok I’m confuse, how can you be at war with your sister if she’s here right now?”

“You know that the multiverse theory exists, yes?”

“.....Oh….crap, so you’re fighting an evil version of your sister then huh?”

“One who is more than willing to destroy everything to get what she wants,” Raven answered with a nod.

“And you’re having problems defeating her? Ok follow me please, I might have something that can help you with that little problem with that.”

Raven quirked her brow, getting up and following after Scootaloo. “What do you mean you have something?”

“Something like this happen to Sweetie Belle once when she was on a mission with Applebloom. An evil version of herself took over the castle and killed off all of us. So a few years later we made something that can take care of problems like that.” She said as they made it to a lab that has a keep out sign for low class displaced. “Here we are.” Scootaloo kick the door open to show Raven the collection of hi tech weapons inside. Welcome to the MVW room.”

“MVW?”

“Multiuniverse Weapon room, it a place where we keep the multiverse’s deadly and powerfulest weapons known to pony or mankind.” Scootaloo answered as she shifted her eye on the weapon she was looking for. “Tell me something, does this evil Kat have the same powers as your Kat? Or does she has that and some others?”

“Actually… the evil Kat… is my Kat. The one you know is the alternate.”

“Then this can help with dealing with your Kat.” Scootaloo handed her a square tech cube, about the size of a handheld game.

Raven stared at it with a deadpan. “A cube? A cube is supposed to help me beat Crystal?”

“Not just any cube my friend, this cube cancels out any displaced humans’ powers that they have or might have gotten from the outfit they got from the merchant. This cube works 100% when we tested it on Amelia and a few displaced so it’ll work on your friend, Crystal.” She said as she handed Raven a white crystal. “And this Crystal will dispel any corrupted being or spell on your friend.”

“What if they aren’t wearing their original costume?” Raven asked. “Because… none of us do.”

“Then it’ll just cancel out their powers, but be careful this item is a like a double edge sword. You’ll still have your combat ability and all, but you won’t be able to use your powers either so I would recommend you learn some support and offensive magic spells.”

"Gravity shifters can't learn magic. Our powers prevent us from having magical energy in our bodies."

“Then use a weapon that has an elemental attribute mix with it, also keep some healing potions with you just encase.”

"I suppose it could work if actually ever fight Crystal. No one has seen her since Kat showed up."

“Well when you do see her use the cube on her first, then the crystal. Cause it’s a pain in the flank when you’re stuck in a dome with the corrupted being or spell.” She said rubbing her shoulder.

"And what will it do to a noncorrupted being? Because Crystal isn't under any spell."

“Then you might want to bring some painkillers, cause that cube will summon a giant fist of light to knock some sense into your friend…..wish I knew that before I used it on myself a while back.”

"Crystal is not my friend," Raven growled. "She's a monster I'm going to destroy."

“Look the cube will take care of her so you can fight on even terms alright, so far this will it either that or the give you a gun that uses your enemy age against them and they turn to dust.” She said pouting adorably.

"I'm trying to think this through strategy wise! Crystal is not someone I can just find! She has a massive army that dwarfs our own! If it were that easy, this war wouldn't have lasted the thousand years it had!"

“Alright, alright nick furious, if you need help finding her I’ll use my timeline powers find her for you. Dear Celestia you just as loud as Luna, only that you’re hotter than she is.”

Raven looked at Scootaloo. "I'm not interested when on duty. Just find Crystal."

“Don’t rush me on this ok, I’m still trying to get the hang of time traveling.” Scootaloo closed her eyes, as a purple aura formed around herself. A few seconds later she opened her eyes. “Ok she has four locations, three of them are decoys but her main fortress is located inside the moon.”

Raven deadpanned. "I think you're looking in the wrong place. Luna would have noticed if something were in her moon."

“Who said she was inside her moon. She pretty much inside a fake moon hidden in a subspace bubble next to one of other planets in your solar system.”

"....is there someone better at this we could ask? Because you aren't even in the right universe. We don't have a solar system."

“.....Sweetie and Amelia.” Scootaloo answered while teleporting off in a fit of anger. “That’s the last time I try and help somepony.”

"Actually," Kat said, walking in with Sweetie before Scootaloo teleported. "She may be on to something."

“Wait I am?” Said Scootaloo sticking her head out of the portal she was in.

"Yes, you may have just confirmed my worst fear," she answered ominously.

“Oh…..buck….is it that bad?”

"Scoots, try locking onto Raven's Equestria and compare it to Crystal's location."

Scootaloo did as she was told and closed her eyes, in a few second she open her eyes and looked at Kat in horror “...........Oh buck me sideway it is that bad.”

“Oh great, now what?!” Raven asked.

“Um…..you want the good news, or the bad news?”

Raven sighed. “Bad first.”

“Your sister just discovered universal travel just like we did.”

“Oh fuck me with a spork!” she screamed, slamming her hands to her face.

“That’s what I was afraid of,” Kat said with a dark look. “It was only a matter of time before Crystal figured it out as well. This can only end badly. Scootaloo, check for her again and see if anything else is living on that planet as well.”

“Right……Question what does her army look like when you were fighting them before?”

“Crystal’s army is the entire changeling species,” Raven answered. “She is their queen and they are her pawns.”

“Then you’re gonna have a problem storming her HQ then, cause all the changelings there are well equipped than the ones you fought in your world.”

“Aw fuck!”

“Yeah it’s that heavily guarded and…….um….another question can she see anypony that is watching her from another world?”

“She shouldn’t be able to,” Kat said. “But then again…” she put her hand on Scootaloo’s shoulder and reached out with her Gravity Sense. After a moment, she gasped and backed away. “Just as I feared.”

“What is it?” Sweetie Belle asked.

“Crystal, she’s attacking other worlds. No doubt to gain new power. But not worlds we can get to. She’s draining the worlds of her own multiverse. The one she and Raven hail from.”

“Buck, this is bad. If she keeps this up she’ll find our castle and kill us for the gear we have.” Sweetie Belle’s horn started to glow. “Scootaloo keep an eye on her, I’ll get Amelia & Applebloom.” With that Sweetie Belle vanished.

“Wait Sweetie Belle she’s…..dammit.”

“Is Crystal even a threat to this place?” Raven asked, looking at Kat.

“Doubtful. By my guess, she’s keeping to her multiverse for two reasons. Number one: neither of us have easy access to those worlds. Number two: there’s little chance she would run into us out there. She’ll keep on going until she’s good and ready. Things just got a lot more complicated.”

“Which is why you’ll be needing my help in this matter apparently.” Said Amelia appearing from out of the void. “And right and wrong about this place not being seen by her.”

“This plane is attached to this multiverse, Amelia. What we’re seeing here is something that is rare in occurrence and is not supposed to happen. Two alternative multiverses have been connected through a single world… only problems are going to arise. Fortunately, it doesn’t look like Crystal has found a way over to this side of the bridge. Let’s hope it stays that way.”

“True but this place is still being fixed after what the last displaced did. Granted she’ll never find this place if I keep it hidden, but it’ll end up a universe at random. So we are yet aren’t at risk to her as long as she keeps her distance from certain parts of space.” She said making a loud cracking sound in her neck. “Damn, looks like were gonna have to move the castle again to a place with a lot neutron & proton energy again.”

“Damn her,” Raven snarled. “Damn her straight to the utter depths of hell and beyond.”

“Anyway after seeing her timeline and all, I’m willing to help you two in this war you’re in with her.”

“Unh uh,” Raven said, sweeping her arms in a negative gesture. “No more aliens in this war. This is our planet and we need to take it back ourselves. We’ve fought for too long to simply roll over and let others do it for us.”

“I’m not willing to get into the war, I’m saying I’ll provide you with arms and medical gear to defend yourselves with. Because after looking at her HQ, the weapons that you have in your world won’t do jack shit compare to what she has.”

“Fuuuuuuck!” Raven groaned.

“Look suck in your pride and ask for help. I can understand that you been fight her for lord knows how long, but if let your pride get in the way then it will be your downfall. Plus I prefer not to see her win this fight, she remind me of Eric only she’s way smarter then him.”

Kat was silent, searching out with her powers. “Hmm… looks like her army isn’t what she’s supplying for,” Kat whispered. “I keep sensing living things disappear from the other side. She’s not arming her soldiers, she’s arming herself.”

Raven’s eyes widened. “Oh no. That power! If this keeps up she’ll be too powerful to stop!”

“Which means,” Kat mused, “Next time she returns to Equestria, we’ll have to stop her, right there and then.”

Raven looked to Amelia. “I need five thousand of your best swords and cannons. Nothing to hi-tech, but enough to but in a good dent.”

“Hm….I might something that can damage her but it’ll be for your sword only.” Amelia pulled up a digital screen. “Applebloom I need 5,000 swords and cannons, nothing to hi-tech but enough to put a good dent in her army.”

“Ok, I should be done in 2 hours.”

“And for you.” Amelia snapped her fingers summoning a sword with a blue & gold color handle along with the sheath. “This sword can help you.”

“What are you nuts?!” Raven cried, clinging to her sword. “I am not using a different sword. This thing was specially made to be able to fight that bitch! It’s one of the last things we have from the dragons!” Raven held out the blade, looking at her reflection. “And it’s one of the last things I have from someone very special to me.”

“Look you don’t have to use it kill her with. All you have to do is make some kind of damage to her with this which bring back down to your level when you see her. That way you kill her with your own sword, and you still have your pride in the end.” Amelia rubbed her head in annoyance. “God you’re just as bad as Amy when she wanted to kill her father without the aid of my tech armor, she only wanted the sword and that’s it.”

“And that’s all I need from you,” Raven asserted. “To get my army set enough to fight back. I’m fully prepped to fight her. We just need to find her and then this thousand year nightmare will be over!”

“And I will but you’ll to use this sword to weaken her. Otherwise if the future I saw in your timeline…..well let’s just say it going to be a dark future for you.”

“Always in motion the future is,” Raven fired back. “Kat and I will take her down easy!”

“Fine, but don’t blame me if your pride gets the better of you. You wouldn’t be the only one that said that and came back.”

“I don’t need your Confucius fortune cookie riddles! Kat and I can take her! You’ll see!”

“That’s what they all say.” With a snap of her fingers the sword was sent away. “But I will say this, I told you so.”

“Yeah, yeah, whatever.”

“Applebloom should be done with your request right now.”

“That sounds good,” Kat said. “Do we owe you anything for your generosity and hospitality? Can we do anything for you?”

“No not really, but can I speak with you alone please if you don’t mind?”

“Alright, I suppose,” Kat shrugged. “Let’s take a walk.”

“Yes….let’s.”

(Castle Garden)

[Flowers of Remembrance]

      Amelia said nothing as her and Kat made it to a place where they can talk in private without anyone to disturb them.

“..........I saw your future Kat.” Amelia said.

“I don’t want to know,” Kat said with finality. “I don’t want to know it, I don’t want omens, I don’t want any prophecies. If I know anything about the future, then it will come to pass, whether I like it or not.”

“That part is true, but the thing is when I looked into your timeline at the final fight….I couldn’t see anything.”

“Shh,” Kat put a finger to her lips. “Spoilers~, my dear.”

“You marefriend, Sugar Belle was it? I want you to spend as much time with her as you can.” Amelia said putting a hand on Kat’s shoulder.

Kat quirked her eyebrow, but nodded. “Well, if you say so. I don’t like leaving her alone too long anyways. She’s still getting used to being quadrupedal.”

“It’s always hard to walk on four legs, but she will be heading back home to her world after the fight.”

Kat glared at Amelia, grabbing her by the collar. “I said no spoilers, merde!! Now it’s going to happen!”

“.....You and I both know that it would of happen even if I didn’t tell you.” She said showing no emotions into her words. “It’s better to accept it, and make plans for it.”

She glared deep into Amelia’s eyes. “No. More. Spoilers. I don’t want to know where I’m going. I will take things as they come and deal with them accordingly. Your future speak only makes things worse.”

“......Fine.” She pulled herself away from Kat. “But I will say this…..you’ll see your love ones again.” Having saying that Amelia vanished into thin air. “Sweetie Belle will be able to send you back to your world, when you are ready.”

Kat sighed, shaking her head as she walked back to join Raven. Her sister immediately noticed something was wrong. “Everything alright?”

She put on a forced smile. “Y-yeah, I’ll be just fine.”

“Sorry about what Mistress Amelia said to you Kat.” Said Sweetie Belle talking to Kat mentally.

“It’s...it’s alright. I’ll get over it.”

“In truth she’s jealous of you Kat.”

“Jealous?” Kat asked, surprised. “Of what?”

“You have someone to fight for, you have a sister from another world along with friends, and the biggest one is that you can die….while she can’t.”

“...my life isn’t one I’d wish on any,” Kat muttered more to herself.

“We know but that why jealous of you. You remind her of how she was the day she came to our Equestria. Your kinda like Doctor Whooves while she’s Captain Jack Harkness.”

“I find that ironic, considering I’ve met the good Doctor.”

“Bottom line she’s jealous of you because of who you are. Mind going after her and see how she’s doing?”

She sighed deeply. “Alright, fine. I don’t like having people mad at me anyway. Mind sending me to her?”

   In a blink of an eye Sweetie Belle teleported Kat to Amelia’s inner sanctum, which was room filled with dynamo cubes filled with neutron energy. In the middle of it all was the diabolic esper floating in fetal position.

“Amelia?” Kat asked.

     “You know when I was 12 years old after I bought this outfit from that merchant and landed in Equestria, Twilight adopted me when everypony else didn’t want me. Hell even the other ponies in Canterlot didn’t want anything to do with me because of the way I looked. I didn’t really care so much about it, all I cared was that someone actually want me and care about me.” Amelia looked up at one the floating cubes passing her by. “It was a normal life I had with her; not too boring, not too exciting, but just right and I was happy with it….. but then came that day.”

“What day?” Kat asked.

    “A few years later I think it was about the year of my birthday when it happen. But apparently my Equestria was on the verge of destruction from enemy invaders. I think is was the griffons at the time, but the ponies need some kind of weapon to defeat them. And of course Twilight Sparkle made a machine to do so, but it needed someone to be the fuel for it to work. So they asked me if I could help them find a fuel source for the machine, and I said sure why not what the worse that can happen?”

“...you didn’t literally say that right?” Kat said, trying to lessen the intense moment.

“18 years old and I didn’t know that much about stuff like that, but yeah I did say that. Before I knew it one of the royal guards hit me with a sleep spell and I found myself into the machine of said weapon…...which started my 4,000 years of hell and torture on pony earth.”

“Amelia…” Kat didn’t know what else to do. So she quickly teleported behind the woman and wrapped her arms around her.

“4,000 years I was stuck in that machine, even when the war was over they still used me for their experiments. Using my powers to excel their youth, technology, everything. While they enjoyed the good life, I was stuck underground betrayed by the very same pony that I used to call my mother.” A surge of neutron energy started form around her and Kat. “The worse part about, was that it was Twilight’s plan from the beginning. I wanted to kill them all so badly….but I couldn’t.”

“I know it doesn’t mean much now, Amelia… but, I find it hard to believe that Twilight of all ponies would ever willingly give you away,” Kat told her.

“I keep tell myself that, maybe it was a changeling pretending to be her, or maybe she was under some kind of spell. But after looking through her timeline…...my worst fears came true.”

“Would you show me?” Kat asked.

Amelia placed her finger onto Kat’s forehead showing her the event that took place 4,000 years ago.

“NO I WON’T DO IT!”

“Twilight please listen to me,” Said Celestia. “We need Amelia for the machine to work, you said so yourself that she’s the only one who can fuel it.”

“You’re asking me sacrifice my daughter’s future for a war, I’m going to do that to her.”

“Twilight please if we don’t win this war, then there isn’t going to be a future for your daughter to have.”

“She is right Twilight.”  Said Luna. “We need her help.”

“But you know what will happen if she goes into the machine right? Then you know why I can’t do it.”

“Think of what will happen if we don’t win, not only will the ponies of Equestria will be enslaved but they will use your daughter for their own evil needs.”  Said Celestia. “Even worse they even have her as a sex slave along with the other elements of harmony’s sister the CMC.”

“But…..but what about Amelia? She finally being accepted by everypony after saving us from terak, you can just make it so she’s back to nothing more than just a tool?”

“I’m sorry Twilight but sacrifices must be made in order to survive and see another day. Please Twilight.”  Celestia kneel down on the floor in front of Twilight. “I beg of you.”

“........Fine I’ll do it…...you need a sleep spell and a numbing spell if you’re going to put her into the machine.”

“Thank you Twi-.”

“Get out of my sight….I don’t ever want to see you or Luna again for as long as I live.” Upon hearing that the sisters teleported off back to prepare to set the trap for Amelia. “I….I’m so sorry Amelia.”

Kat hugged Amelia even more after that. “Have… have you ever looked farther?”

“I have, she died after the year 3,420. Cause of it was depression and her refusing to take the age pill they made to boost your life. In truth I forgive her for what she did to me, but my only regret was not saying good-bye to her.”

“I’m sure she tried to get you back, Amelia. Twilight is not somepony to give up so easily.”

“She did.” Amelia pulled up a digital screen of the crusader. “Before she died she have these three to get me out of there. To my surprise they were able to free me.”

“Then she never betrayed you, Amy. Twilight was betrayed by them. No doubt she had hoped you would be removed once the war was over.”

“I know….but…..but….” Tears started to flow down Amelia face, but her tears were not clear as water, they were purple. “I just want to die and see her again.”

“You know…” Kat said slowly. “I may not be able to help you die… but I may be able to bring Twilight to you.”

“....What?”

“I have this friend of mine and I know he’d be more than willing to help. We’ll just snatch Twilight from the end of her timeline and bring her back here.”

“.........fuck why the hell didn’t I think if that!” Amelia said slamming her face into a cubie. “Ugh…….5,000 years with all this knowledge and I still act like a dumbass and I forgot to do something like that.”

“So, do you need me to call my friend?”

“No need.” Amelia answered as she open a portal to the past and jumped in. “I’ll be right back in a few minutes or so, feel free to ask Sweetie Belle to send you back home if you want.”

“And miss a happy reunion? Are you nuts?!” Kat giggled with a smile. “I’m not leaving until I see a smile on that face of yours.”

“Fair enough I guess.”

(Equestria 3,000 years ago)

        Inside the castle of friendship stood Twilight Sparkle wearing not more than a black long sleeve shirt, a aqua blue mini skirt, and purple & white striped stockings. So far she still had the youthful look on her, but if somepony would look at her in the eyes they could see that she was dead inside. Then again anyone would be like that if they did what she did to their child. “It’s been 2,000 years and still this stupid war still rages on.” She said as she laid down on the couch and turn the TV on. “I should’ve said no and run off with Amelia when I had the chance to do it.” Twilight grabbed the nearest pillow curled up alongside it. “I would do anything just to see her again.”

“Ask and ye shall receive,” a soft-feminine voice rang in her ears.

“W-Who said that?” She asked looking around the room, wondering who it was that said that. “If you’re an assassin from the war then go ahead and kill me if you want.”

"I am no assassin, Lady Sparkle. Only someone who can grant your deepest wish."

“Yeah right, like I’ll believe a disembodied voice that can grant me wishes. If you’re doing that voice again Rainbow Dash, then you better have health insurance when send you to the hospital again.”

"Everyone deserves a second chance, Twilight," the voice replied, ignoring her threat. A portal opened not too far from where she lay. "Don't you think it's time you were given yours?"

“What do you mean by that?”

"As Pinkie once told you, time to take a leap of faith."

Twilight was reluctant about going through the portal, but after thinking it over for a few seconds she decided to go through the portal. “This better not be a trap.”

"No trap. Only the one thing you desire most. Now go, she's been waiting so very long to see you again."

(Castle of Time & Space)

“Ok I’m here, so what is it that you-.” Upon exiting the port her expression changed from annoyance, to utter shock when she saw Amelia standing right in front of her. “I…..It can’t be…..can it?”

"It can and is," the voice said, revealing itself to be another human girl standing off to the side. "Welcome to your second chance."

“Hi Twilight, it’s me, Amelia. I  know I look different and all but-.” The Esper was unable to finish, as a lavender blur slammed into her and forced her onto the ground.

“OH DEAR FAUST I-I MISSED YOU SO MUCH!!!” Twilight yelled while crying. “What I did to you is unforgivable and I can understand if you hate me for it but-.”

Amelia placed a finger on Twilight’s mouth. “I forgive you, idiot.” Twilight didn’t say anything but just placed her head against her chest and fell asleep. From what the Esper could tell by looking at her foster mother, she pretty much been through hell for the past couple of years. “I think I’m gonna go to sleep for a while with her, thanks for the help Kat.”

Kat smiled. "Anything to help, Amelia. I know all too well the feelings of losing a parent and a child. I couldn't let you experience the same anymore. I wish you both a happy life."

“Thanks,” Amelia gave Kat two items before she left with Twilight. “The blue crystal is a power drainer, I know Raven won’t use it because of her pride but I know you’ll use it on your evil counterpart. The other is my token, if for the both of you to have if you need my assistance for anything.”

"This will be a lot of help, Amy. Thank you, my new friend."

“For what it’s worth I’m sorry that I told you about your end, but I will see you one last time before you go off to see your loved ones again.” Amelia said with a smile on her face. “I would love to have a drink with you on that day.”

Kat giggled. "I might just take you up on that some day. After all," she smirked. "I'm too stubborn to die." She looked up. "Beam me up, Sweetie!"

“Right!” Within a blink of an eye Kat and Raven were teleported off back to Raven’s world along with the gear Raven requested.

“I’ll see you at the end of the line, Kat Shifter.” Amelia said as she teleport back into her Castle.

(Well that was fun! Until next time, see ya!)
