***Asphyxious pov. Ponyville.***

I was never more excited in all the time I’ve been here. I finally get to meet Maud! I had to ask Pinkie about her family before I found out when her sister was coming over. Turns out she had three sisters, who knew?

I was walking to the picnic with Pupa, Chrysalis and Vix. Wasn’t sure if Vix would like it but it get her to meet someone new. Besides I think she and Maud will get along really well.

“I’m really glad you guy's invited us to join in on this. Vix need some time outside of the den anyway.” I said as we sat down.

“What’s a picnic?” Vix asked.

“It’s an outing for everyone to enjoy.” I explain as Pinkie was telling everyone about her sister. I am so excited right now I think I could wet myself.

“Here she comes!” Pinkie said excited as everyone went to look. Me I stay where I was and waited knowing full well what was about to happen. Muad was taking her time as she walked up to Pinkie and her friends before they introduce themselves. They then all headed to me and my family.

“Hello. You must be Asphyxious. My sister told me all about you.” Muad said in that monotone voice and I loved it.

“It nice to meet you Maud Pie. This is Chrysalis one of my hoard mates. And these are my daughters, Pupa and Vix.” I said as she looked at everyone.

“It nice to meet you.” Said Maud. I felt Pupa poke me and I lean over to her.

“She really happy to meet everyone.” Said Pupa who was smiling. I’ll trust her seeing as she can tell. Everyone sat down to enjoy the picnic and I had to say the look on everyone's faces when Maud ate a crystal made me laugh. That when a portal opened up, oh come on!

“Who is it this time!” I yelled as I get up. I get a shock as to who walked out the portal.

A pale female wearing a long coat landed on her face. Her white hair was messy, and her wings were ruffled.

“I didn’t know you invited more friends Asphy.” Said Pinkie as she hugged my arm.

“I didn’t.” I tell her and push her away as I walked over to Time to have a word only to be tackled by a girl. Next thing I know she kissing me!? What going on!?!

“Entropy Enid Storm! Get away from him this fucking instant!!!” Time screamed, getting up and prying the girl off of me with a grey magic.

“What just… Happened?” I asked as I’m helped up and saw Pupa and Vix in a bubble shield talking. I looked at Time for some kind of explanation. “Time what going on?”

“Sorry, my daughter’s… Whack…” Time said grumpily. “She’s confused. She’s got the timeline mixed up.”

“Okay…” I said not really understanding what going on. I just realized something, I’m going to have to explain this to Twilight and her friends.

“Are you here to join the picnic?” Asked Fluttershy as she held her stomach and her dragon like wings moved a little.

“Uh… Not really, but I can join.” Time said, zapping ‘Enid’ with her magic. “I’m Sparking Storm. But you can call me Spark.”

“It’s nice to meet you.” Said Twilight as she shook Spark’s hand. I could not help feeling a little worried at the way she was looking at me. Not only that I didn’t want Time to take Vix.

“I guess that’s okay.” I said as I set with Chrysalis and my daughters. Chrysalis and Pupa were the first to pick up on my feelings but I said nothing.

“And this is my daughter Entropy.” Spark said, gesturing to her daughter. “Sorry about earlier, Entropy it part Draconequus so she takes whatever she wants.”

“Wow, I’d love to hear more.” Asked Twilight As things started to calm down and everyone talked. I had other things to deal with like why Entropy was looking at me like that, she cute and all but I hardly know her.

“Can I help you?” I asked keeping Vix and Pupa between me and Chrysalis.

“I-I’m so sorry about that, mom’s right, I do tend to… Freak out…” Entropy said, looking down. I felt a little bad for her and and smiled as I pat her head.

“It’s fine crazy stuff happens to me all the time. I’m used to it by now.” I said as I saw a small blush on her face. Oh my god that so cute.

“O-oh, a-a-and mom needs to talk to you…” Entropy said. I looked to her mum and sighed, I then had an idea.

“Can you play with my kids while I’m away. I don’t want them to get bored without me.” I asked smiling at her.

“O-okay!” Entropy said, slightly more happy. “I’m good with kids.” I get up and go over to Sparks and hear what she has to say.

“-And that’s how she was created. I took her in and we’ve been a family ever since.” Spark said.

“That is amazing, I wish we had this level of technology. Just think of all the good we could do!” Twilight said as she was started to jump up and down like a kid.

“Twilight I think it time you went back and talked with everyone else. I’m sure Maud would love to hear about this.” I said as she thanked Spark and went back to the others.

“Okay, here’s the deal, I won’t mess with your family and you let me relax here.” Spark said, arms raised.

“Okay, but what I want to know is why are you here? You're not going to ask me to come back are you?” I asked Time as I looked around. There was no one other than Time his kid and that mare who came with them. Just what was going on?

“First off, I want to apologize about what I did to Vix. I thought she was a manifestation of Warzone’s hidden desires and I wasn’t thinking straight. I manipulated Rainbine so she’d shoot Vix and make her slowly forget about me and lose her Displacer powers.”

“I see, I was wondering why her nightmares were getting better… And I guess I accept your apology. In the end things ended up going okay… I’m still a little bitter about Warzone but I understand. I couldn’t stop her…” I said as I felt useless. I found someone I want to help and failed before I could even try.

“You’ll be glad then that she’s not gone forever.” Spark added. I looked up at her.

“What?” I asked, is she pulling my leg? If so this is a joke in poor taste if you ask me.

“I kinda added a failsafe into that universe. Kinda like an extra plan for after the war is done. If I die, then any Displaced I’ve created goes to a new world with their memories wiped. I also added a thing so that is a Displacer like Warzone or I die, we’re Displaced without our Displacer powers. I activated it a week into the war, and that blue dust she turned into was her getting Displaced.”

I was shocked and feeling a little hopeful but I hold that back. I needed to make sure I understand what Time saying. “Are you telling me, Warzone will come back as a displaced? Of who? What’s her token?” I asked feeling hope for her flood my soul, I was struggling just to hold these feelings back.

“She will. Only after the war end is she actually going to appear. I don’t know what her token is going to be, but I can tell you she’s coming back as an anime girl with blue hair and blue eyes.” Time said. “Only after I die, which I plan on doing after Izra’s gone.”

Real specific Time, Girl with blue eye and hair? I think to myself as I rub my face. There are hundreds of Animes like that, wait. Time was planing to die? “What do you mean you was planning on dying?” I asked. Just what the hell is Time up to?

“I have an expiration date.” Time said. “Less than a year…”

“I see…” I say looking at her, as my mind just slowed to a halt. Just taking in everything Time was saying.

“And when that time is over, my life force will be gone. Every time I use my powers, I lose time…” Time sighed. “I wanted to kill Izra before that. She’s always wanted my life to be like hers, emotionally detached, always wanting more…”

“Is she the reason Warzone was the way she was?” I asked feeling a little angry at this Izra, every fiber in my being was telling me to kill.

“Warzone, Roach, Flaze, Killjoy, and even me.” Time said. “She told me when I die, she’ll kill everyone I know and love… Zapp, Masked Matterhorn… Filli-Second…” Spinner shook her head. “I’m not letting her win, no matter if I kill every one of my Displaced…”

“Well, It couldn’t hurt to have a backup plan.” I said looking at time. “You have my token right?”

“Do I look like a gal who doesn’t have contingency plans? Jubilee, Sylar and Miku are just to name a few.”

“Then add me to that list if she’s the one who was putting that crap in Vix head, I think I’ll pay her back by taking her head.” I said smiling to myself. I could feel my dragon side agreeing with me on this. I just found someone I wanted to kill.

“You’ll be my last line then. But you can’t be in the war. Just try to keep people off my back, I’ve already had to protect myself from pissed off Displaced.” Time stated. “Also, mind if I try and relax? It’s been twenty years since I last had a day to myself…”

“Go ahead and I may have my own way to get back in on my own. For now just have a good time.” I said as I leave Time alone and head back to the others. I have a lot of planning to do after this.

“Then would you introduce me to everyone?” Time asked, smirking darkly as her right eye socket formed an eye with a glowing green iris. I laughed.

“Why the hell not? I could even call you family one day.” I said introduce Time to everyone as Spark.

“Any questions, I’ll answer them.” Time said. “But first… Where do I sit?”

“You can sit with us!” Called Pupa before I could even think of anything. I just smiled and nodded at Spark. “Also can you go through walls like daddy?” I laughed at that, I love my kids.

“Of course, why wouldn’t I?” Spark giggled as she sat next to Pupa. Vix kept her distance but looked curious about Spark’s to. We all enjoyed day even if Pinkie friends couldn’t work out that this was how Maud acted all the time. I found it cute.

Also the way Entropy was acting around me I found to be adorable, Maybe one day when I get to know her more I’ll ask her to join my hoard but not now. Now was a time for everyone to relax and have fun.

“Gah!” Spark cried out in pain and stood up swiftly.

“Are you alright? Should we get a doctor?!” Asked Twilight in worry.

“No… I’m fine…” Spark said quietly as she started walking away.

“Spark, take your meds.” The mare that came with Spark and Entropy said strictly.

“You’re not the boss of me.” Spark growled.

“Is there something wrong with Sparks?” Asked Fluttershy as everyone looked on in concern. I get up and followed Sparks.

“I’ll make sure she alright.” I said as I walked after Time. I followed for a few minutes as she a place to sit down and joined her. “You alright?” I asked looking at Time.

“I had a heart condition before I became this… In the past three years it came back… I’m trying not to take any medication because it interferes with my powers…”

“Why would you take such a risk.” Asked Twilight who by the looks of things followed us. “Isn’t being there for your daughter more important than your powers.” I take Twilight hand and made her set down with us.

“Twi, Sparks doesn't have long to live and there are people, I mean ponies who are trying to hurt her and her family. She needs her powers to keep them safe.” I said in the hope Sparks will run with this idea.

“I have this cancer thing that’s immune to magic. I have less than a year to live, and my sister wants me dead…” Sparks said.

“Isn’t there anything we can do? Maybe call one of Asphyxious friends for help.” Asked Twilight as I put a hand on her back.

“Twilight, Spark and her Sister are from the same world. Even if I could get help from my friends Spark sister will do the same thing and call displaced to try and stop them. Hell she may not even care if the world lives or dies.” I explained to her as she looked at me with those sad eyes.

“It’s okay, I’ve lived long enough.” Spark said, crossing her arms. “And my only family, Entropy, is being taken care of. I’m content.”

“It not far… You're so kind and caring. I just wish there was something we could to help you.” Twilight Said as she started to cry. I hugged her and looked at Time who was smiling.

“It’s okay, you already have. My fate is sealed, but we shall meet again. I’m a time traveller, so you might meet me again.” Spark crossed her arms. “Also, I thought maybe I could share some stuff with you. In my past life before I was Displaced, I was Starswirl. Heard you liked him.”

Twilight had a look on her face like she just met her idol. Who am I kidding, she was Geeking out big time I could not help but laugh. But I left them to it, I then thought about who Time left her daughter to be looked after?

“YesYesYesYesYesYesYes!” Twilight called jumping around Spark like a little girl.

“Yes, yes, and yes.” Spark joked. “I guess you are a fan… I never thought I’d meet one…”

“Oh my gosh there so much I want to ask you! No wait there so much I want to tell you! No wait! Can you sign my book!” Twilight asked as she teleported a book and pin into her hands.

“Sure.” Spark summoned a purple pen into her hand. “So, should I write Starswirl with or without the ‘bearded’ part? Because that was a tease by Celestia on how much I took care of my beard.”

“Oh my, W-would it be okay if you added the bearded part? I understand if you don’t that alright.” Twilight said as she started to babble. This is why I find her so cute.

“It’s okay, it only used to annoy me.” Spark said, signing the book. “To Twilight Sparkle, from Starswirl the Bearded. May your magic never fail you.” Twilight gave out a girly squeal as she hugged the book.

“I’m going to tell everypony about this! No one will believe this!” Twilight said as she teleported off. I smiled and looked back to Sparks.

“Thanks.” I said chuckling. “She never going to stop talking about this ever.”

“Hey, what can I say? I’m a sucker for those I inspired, this world or not.” Spark said, smirking. “I’ve never given a autograph before… That’s one thing checked off my bucket list. And I’m not lying, I’m seventy-nine percent Starswirl the Bearded.”

“Damn. That’s news to me, I’ll also try and get the other displaced off your back if I can.” I tell her as I help her up. “Let go back and let everyone know you're alright. No need to let them worry.”

“Sure.” Spark said, clicking her fingers and we were back at the picnic. “I’m fine, sorry about that everyone!” She then leaned in a whispered. “I think the Changeling dislikes me…”

I saw what she meant by the way Chrysalis was glaring daggers at Spark. I then whispered back. “I think I’m in the doghouse right now.” I then sat with Chrysalis as she looked at me.

“We’re having a talk when we get home.” She said looking into my eyes. I had no idea what I did to piss her off but I am really worried about my safety. “I want another Brood~” She hissed into my ear.

“So! Who wants to play a game!?” Spark asked, spinning around. I as sighed in relief as attacon was taken off of me. Looks like today going to be a little different from the show.
