The flash of light in the gulf us for what felt like forever, once it dissipates, we were somewhere outside a city twist the size of Manehattan. “Where are we?” Celestia asks me seeing what is in front of them.

“Home, Ponyville.” Destiny answers her question seeing hover-ships coming from the converted ruins of Canterlot into a shipyard and dry dock.

“Is that Canterlot?” Luna asks me to see the converted city. “Yes, it is.” I answer her question.

“Is this Ponyville from your timeline?” Starlight asks me trying to see Twilight castle somewhere within that city, but only seeing skyscrapers in the way. “It is.” I answer her heading into the city.

Discord seeing what going on so far and only have only thing in mind. “This is too chaos even for me.”

Moments later the city center.

The group made their way seeing the city is completely deserted seeing shadows of creatures that occupied the city streets standing still like they are just frozen in time.

Not even vehicles on land or the air have been affected making everyone a little jittery, before seeing a statue of a group of people nine individuals before recognizing them, Twilight and the others with me and an old friend.

Celestia and Luna walk up to the statue seeing a list of names around the base and something is written there.

“Here lie the names of the lives that we have lost during the Battle Of Ponyville.”

“What is this battle?” Celestia asks herself out loud. “I don’t know sister; it must have been grand to build a statue of this event.” Luna quickly responded to her sister's comment.

The Spirit comes to them getting a closer look at the statue before touching it making a flash coming from it consuming the group sending them somewhere else.

Once it fades seeing that the city they saw before is back to the ruins of town before the rebuild seeing battle lines are being prepped seeing more ghosts of different creatures from all walks of life.

Just like before they are frozen in time. “James, something is wrong.” Pinky tells me looking worried seeing what these ghosts. “I know, the last time we saw this it was only the ten of us from that time we saw that vision.” I answer her seeing these ghosts. “It must be the number of creatures coming through this time is making the vision come out like this, or the timeline hasn’t fully restored let.” I said out loud walking through the battlefield.

Then a flash of light comes around us again sending us somewhere else. When we came around, we were in the middle of the desert everyone their confuses. “Where are we now?” Trixie asks out loud.

Felling no heat, no air, with the sun overhead. Shocking me knowing where we are. Luna and The Doctor feel the same thing knowing where they are and wondering why they are back here.

I look over seeing where we spawned at seeing a crash site of a down helicopter with someone laying next to it not moving. Making me get up heading to the crash site, Luna and The Doctor sees me heading towards the crash site and quickly follow.

The others see us heading towards the site and they followed as well.

Once I get closer to the site seeing the dead bodies in the colt pit seats and more bits and pieces of the chopper seeing tracks leading from the crash site to the horizon. I see a third body leading against the wreckage.

I look at the body from where I’m standing seeing that he been dead for what looks like weeks. Luna and The Doctor seeing the body begin to lose it in their own way. Luna falls to the sanded ground while The Doctor holds it in.

Everyone else in the group confuses about what they are seeing. “I thought this place was just a dream, but now seeing it. It is very real and out there.” I thought to myself remembering those events of the past few hours ago.

Destiny curious gets the best of her and wondering why they are here and walks over the horizon where the tracks are leading, seeing something shining in the distance.

“Dad!” She calls out to me getting my attention. “What is it?” I ask coming towards before seeing the same thing she is seeing, making me shake in disbelief of what I am seeing. “No, that is impossible. I can be here.” I said out loud making me fall to my knees pushing the ground.

Pinky comes up seeing the same thing remembering those dreams I’ve been having ever scent we meet.

Luna and The Doctor came over knowing where we are now, with the others following close behind. Celestia wonders what this place is seeing the same thing in the distance.

Twilight and Sunset seeing the same thing in the distance wondering going to happen to them next.

Rainbow sees the object wondering what it might be. Rarity and Applejack getting scared out of their minds right seeing everything in front of them so far.

Trixie and Starlight getting more confused by the second without knowing what going on.

As for Discord and the Spirit are just lost feeling something going on in the lack of air in the environment.

Chrysalis feeling the emotion of fear and anger coming from the rest of the group.

As for Pinky (EG) feeling joy and bliss not knowing what is going on right in front of her face.

The group made their way towards the object feeling that it takes longer and longer the closer they got.

Until they got close enough to see in more detail, it was a spinning cube made out of titanium steel with a smooth surface that more like a giant mirror, standing as high as a 4-story building. It was spinning counterclockwise this time, making me worry seeing spinning clockwise in the past.

Everyone standing and amazed seeing this thing, Discord and the Spirit trying to get something off it, feeling something that should not be there, but it was there in front of their eyes feeling something is off about the place that makes them want to leave as fast as possible.

“Something is not right with this place.” Spirit said out loud feeling something going up back stepping back from the group.

As for me feeling something is coming, I get into position stepping a few feet forward. Then a sharp jolt makes me lose my footing as the object takes me away scaring everyone else below it gets higher and higher until it reaches the top of the cube.

I get on my feet seeing that it’s a ring shape platform made out of rusted metal. I walk over to the edge seeing everyone is down there scared out of their minds.

Luna and The Doctor quickly recover from the shock before everyone else there, experiences this before seeing at the top of the platform.

Spirit really starts to get scared now. “We should leave now.” She said out loud making a break for running away from the object before seeing a wall of fire come out of nowhere stopping her in her tracks.

Others see this starting freak over this making Celestia call out to who holding us here. “WHO IS HOLDING US HERE?!” She shouts to whoever can hear her.

Seeing the sun in the sky starting to black as sackcloth sending the desert around them into darkness.

Seeing the moon come over the horizon showing that its color is off. The color of it is showing a bright red.

I look overseeing the staircase starting to come down while seeing everything going on. Luna sees the discolored moon and feels fear going through her trying to use her wings to take and falling to the ground.

I see my hands starting to glow purple seeing the storm starting to take shape above us.

Everyone begins to get real scare seeing all of this going on. Vinyl and Octavia holding each other tight. Lyra and Bon Bon never suspected seeing this.

Once the staircase reaches the bottom Pinky and Destiny come running as fast, they can reach me. Once they reach the top, they see that my hands are glowing and do not know why before seeing hands and hooves are starting to glow as well, making the storm above them get more chaotic shooting lighting around them in their colors.

“Dad, what going on?” Destiny asks me. “I don’t know I never see anything like this before.” I quickly answer her question not knowing what might happen next, then in an instant, the three were struck by a series of light blots of different colors.

The others see this, quickly making their way to the top. Once they got there, they see something that never suspects to see in their lifetimes. A white horse with a white mane and tail slowly walks around the corner carrying a sword around its body in its holster.

I turn around seeing him again seeing that my jacket is damage from lighting seeing that my hands have changed too, the tips of my figures have nearly turned black; feeling the steel rods in my back are filled with a power I have never felt before like I can take on the world again.

Luna and The Doctor sees him again knowing from the last time they meet recusing James, as for everyone else this is the first time.

I rub my figures together seeing the suit coming off before drawing my attention towards the white horse like an old friend. “Let me ask you this; why are we all here?” I ask him knowing I would never get an answer.

“To show you something.” He answers me shocking me hearing that voice setting off alarm bells in my head.

“Impossible.” I quickly responded before seeing the storm above us starting to change color sticking bright red lighting in the distance seeing something coming towards us. I look and see that the Spirit is still out there.

“She is in danger and I have to get her.” I said out loud fixing to jump. “Wait.” He tells me stopping in my tracks. “Get on.” He tells me making wondering what he about to do.

I quickly get on him, feeling the heating coming from him; Then in a quick jolt, he takes off to the edge jumping over shocking me in the process.

The landing was ruff nearly falling off once I get a hold of himself, he takes off towards where she is feeling the wind coming around us the faster we got, seeing the wall of fire seeing her panicking trying to go around it.

“SPIRIT!” I shout trying to get her attention, but it isn’t working for me. “We going to have to cut her off.” He tells me picking up speed taking to close the gap.

The closer we get making me look at the wall of fire remembering the attack on the old Silenzers headquarters, setting off more alarm bells in my head.

I see her again and again I call out her name. “SPIRIT!” This getting her attention, making her stop turns towards us, seeing me and the white horse I am riding on.

We slowed down enough to jump off, I look at the wall of fire seeing a face on the other side making me jump a little seeing him again in this place just waiting before seeing the flames in front of us make him vanish before my eyes.

I get backtrack getting the Spirit on the horse before myself, before heading back looking back seeing those flames are starting to die down. “What was that back there?” I ask him. “I’ll explain once we get back.” He tells not really answer my question.

Moments later back at the cube.

The others see us coming in not knowing how they get back up. Before seeing them coming up the staircase. Both of us get off still waiting on why we are here and why I keep coming back every time I fall asleep.

“To answer all your questions, it best to start to the beginning.” He tells us starting to tell a tale that shocks our world.

“There has been a war going on longer, than anyone ever know throughout the know and unknown universe. Two ideologies clashing against each other leaving only death and destruction in their wake; every time one force gets stronger with each fight. I have seen this time and time again, trying to help out where I can. But this army of darkness is growing again, and their new leader is gaining more power as we speak. Right now, he is trapped; but if this demon gets out then this army will be let loose throughout time and space. When that happens, he becoming towards here with his followers and destroy this place sending everything into nothing but darkness where there is no light can escape.”

“When will this happen?” Luna asks him to question the whole thing. “The clues are out there; you just have to find them.” He answers her question with more vagueness towards it; before seeing the storm above them starting to open up, making the storm look more like a hurricane showing the blood moon above them.

“There something that always bug with all these years until I heard your voice for the time.” I said out loud before continuing with what going rolling around in my head. “Was that you from the very beginning?” I ask him.

“What do you mean?” He answers my question with one of his own. “I mean, were you there giving me and the others those visions of what goes on in Equestria during all the chaos?” I ask him getting my point across. “To answer question James, if you think I am the person you think I am. Then yes I am that person.” He answers my question with more like a riddle, confusing me a little.

Destiny gets a little curious walking around the platform where the White horse came from seeing a control panel with ten slots seeing three of them are filled with glowing purple, sky blue, and white, their elemental colors.

Hearing something in the distance coming towards them making her turn to see what’s coming. Seeing a familiar shape of back when she was a kid. “Holder Boulder.” She said out loud seeing a lightning strike behind him showing his full body letting the wind glid him in, before landing only a few yards away sending shock waves without the sanded ground below making everyone else see what is coming.

I look at the object seeing what is out there. “Impossible.” I said out loud seeing him again after all these years. The others see the object out there and begin to wonder what they are seeing.

Pinky sees him out there remember the day when he woke up, thanks to Destiny's powers.

The object out there shows a shape of a dragon fully grown standing nearly 70 feet long and standing nearly 4 to 5 stories tall. His skin looks like it was made from stone with spikes long his back with a shine to them when the light hit them, green eyes spears through the darkness.

Celestia and Luna see the dragon getting closer towards them, mainly Destiny. Before tilling his head letting loose white flame into the clouds above them.

Seeing the club behind them starting to slow down making everyone wonder what going on. “James, what is going on?” Celestia asks me. “I don’t know, I never saw this before.” I quickly responded, seeing that nearly coming to a stop before seeing it split in two, making things very interesting for me.

The split cube starting to turn again but one going clockwise and the other going counterclockwise. Seeing the sand ground below starting to move away from cube seeing the fire in the distance starting to grow making a ring of fire around them. The storm above them gets more active letting the eye of the storm grow around them until it reaches the edge of the ring of fire.

I look up seeing the blood moon above in a sea of black making me worry. “James it's time.” The white horse tells me seeing the sword he is carrying glowing making me reach for but hesitated to know what might happen next.

Instant of me grabbing it, Destiny grabs it seeing the sword glowing in her hand making everyone there wonder and disbelief of what going on. The dragon sees this making her get on.

But she did not tell him anything. “Not yet, not let there is something that has to be done first. But when we all come back here.” Stopping in the middle before feeling something going through her making her drop the sword letting it hit the rusted floor below.

“Destiny.” I call out to her getting a hold of her seeing something is wrong seeing blood coming from her nose. I grabbed the sword ending this nightmare making everything go white sending us back to the room where this journey begins.

I see Destiny still out, before coming around seeing that they are back. “Dad, what happened?” She asks me before feeling the pain on her left side trying to get up. Making me wonder what happen, moving her jacket on her left side seeing bruce there. The size of it making lift her shirt making sure does not hurt her.

The pain of doing this made her a great deal of pain sending a shock wave through her. Once I see the full size of it, I quickly active my powers making my right hand glow before putting it over the bruce making the pain go away for a little while.

Once she comes down from the pain going away feeling relieved of the pain finally able to get up on her own, seeing the bruce for herself. Remember what happened back there feeling something like a building falling on top of you, before feeling the blood coming from her nose.

She leaves as fast she could towards the nearest restroom. I wonder what seems to be bothering her and being to follow her, but Pinky stops me touching my shoulder. “James, I’ll go.” She tells me before leaving to follow her.

Meanwhile

Destiny burst through the door heading to the sink, turning on the water making the mirror fog up a little seeing herself in it, trying her best to wash away the blood. Before hearing something or someone calling out to her.

“Destiny.” The voice calls out making her to look around the room seeing that she is alone, before looking back in the mirror seeing that completely fog up now. She uses her hand to wipe away the fog seeing not herself in the mirror but someone else.

Standing there was a human with tan skin and dark brown hair reaching the back of his neck and a beard of the same color reaching nearly half a foot long, wearing a white robe from what she could see.

“Who are you?” She asks him. “That not important right now, but there’s one thing you must know is that I was you from a past life that carried the element you are carrying now.” He answers her question, making her rub her neck a little.

“Why are you speaking to me?” She asks him again. “To let you know when your time comes you much make great decision to save everyone you care about.” He answers her question before vanishing leaving only her reflection in the mirror. “Wait, what decision?” Asks him again in a panic before he vanished.

She hears a knock at the door. “Destiny, honey; you alright in there?” Hearing her mother's voice making her grab a tow to dry her face before replying to her. “Yes, I’m fine.”

Looking in the mirror again to making sure that everything is alright in her reflection before leaving through the still open door, seeing her mother standing there.

Pinky looks at her daughter knowing something is bothering her but leave it for now. While Destiny still has what he said going through her mind again. “When the time comes you much make a decision to save the people you care about.”
