(Shortly before the mane 6 and Spike arrives at the Steve Village)
Sabre had just defeated Shadow Sabre by trapping him in everything, one of the 4 corners of his mind (which are everything, nothing, fear and peace). With Shadow Sabre dealt with, Dark Steve is no longer under control by him, having his free will back. Once Sabre got out of his mind, he teleported just outside the cage Sabre used to trap and defeat Shadow Sabre. He walked into the cage. There, he found the Shadow Sword just laying there, which he picked up off of the ground that was made of bedrock. Sabre lets out a sigh as he went into the cage to pick up the Shadow Sword.
"Finally. That's mostly over with. But, I still have a couple things to do. Yeah," Sabre said to himself as he picked the Shadow Sword off the ground. Sabre puts the Shadow Sword away and then walked back out of the cage, sighing as he turned to his left once he got out. To his left was Dark Steve. He still had some red in his right eye, but most of the effects from Shadow Sabre controlling him had mostly faded away.
"Oh, uh... hey, Dark," Said Sabre.
"Hey, Sabre," Dark Steve replied.
"Um, are you... are you doing okay? Uh... I just... wanted to know. It seems like you finally were able to make up your mind huh? Heh. Thank you," Sabre stuttered at the beginning as he asked, looking to Dark Steve, who was standing above him, on higher ground.
"Yeah, the last little bit of shadow's control is fading," Dark Steve answered.
"That's good," Sabre responded to Dark Steve's answer.
"Hey um... this place is... kind of a mess, ha..." Sabre warmly chuckled, these were chuckles of joy and relief that he finally defeated Shadow Sabre. Sabre was right, where he and Dark Steve were standing was littered with holes and craters, some still burning with fires dotted here and there as well as bits of darkness still lingering.
"That's probably my bad and... well," Sabre said, finishing his sentence.
"Yeah," Dark Steve slowly said back in response. Sabre then lets out yet another sigh.
"Look, I know that this is kind of out of nowhere, and well, a lot just happened clearly, but-" Sabre was temporarily cut of by Dark Steve.
"I mean I don't think anyone's coming back here anyways," Dark Steve butted in.
"Yeah... I agree with that. Listen, can I... can I take you somewhere? Dark? If that's alright with you?" Sabre asked.
"I just think that you would maybe like it," Sabre added.
"Uh, sure," Dark Steve answered.
"Okay, come on," Sabre said as he began using the Dark Crystal to teleport. However, the teleportation didn't take them there Sabre had intented. Instead, it took Sabre and Dark Steve to the core of Sabre's mind. Sabre then saw a glowing figure. He had a light blue body, regular blue legs, all the figure's skin all over was the same tan colour, had brown hair and had very light blue eyes.
"Woah," Dark Steve said in awe.
"Origin?" Sabre slowly said, looking at the glowing figure.
"Hello Sabre. Hello Dark," Origin Steve replied.
"Why are we here, Origin?" Sabre questioned Origin Steve.
"Don't destroy the sword," Origin Steve replied.
"Why? The whole adventure with darkness is over. Why don't you want me to destroy the sword?" Sabre asked.
"There's something out there," Origin Steve answered.
"Another foe already? Great," Sabre grumbled.
"I'm afraid so," Origin Steve responded.
"Wait, are you... are you feeling okay? You never give me a straight answers like this, especially not out of nowhere. Usually it's all... uh, all cryptic and all that," Sabre pointed out.
"Yes, I'm fine Sabre. I know I don't hand you answers, but but this is an exception. This new foe is dangerous. Even I... even I am scared of him," Origin Steve answered in a seemingly calm tone, but is deep down outright petrified of this new foe.
"Can you... can you help us? You seem to know about whoever this new foe is as we haven't even seen him yet. We don't even know who he looks like or what," Sabre asked.
"No, I can't Sabre. I'm sorry," Origin Steve replied.
"What I can do though is teleport Light to that house in the Steve Village. That is all I can really do to directly help," Origin Steve offered. Sabre agreed. Origin Steve teleported Sabre and Dark Steve back to the house in the Steve Village, the house that the village leaders let them have when they welcomed them with open arms when no one else would since Sabre resorted to using the darkness to fight the Demon Steves. There, Time Steve was in the house, including the leaders of the Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet kingdoms, all in the living room. Light Steve was also there in the living room too. Like the leaders, Light Steve knew what exactly went down, he knew that Sabre defeated Shadow Sabre and that Dark Steve was actually no longer evil and all he wanted to do was help. However, what he didn't know was why he was teleported to the house, but that wasn't important right now. He and the leaders owe Sabre and Dark Steve an apology.
"Hey Sabre! Hey Dark!" Time Steve said in a relieved tone as he walked out to the hallway, glad to see his friends were okay.
"Time!? Why are the leaders here!? They're gonna yell at me! They don't like me because of the darkness I used!" Sabre exclaimed.
"And why do they have weapons!? What!? Time!? Uh! Uh... uh!" Sabre stuttered as he began freaking out, taking cover behind Time Steve. After all, Sabre did lie about that he destroyed the Shadow Sword after defeating Void Steve the first time, which he didn't. He also didn't tell the leaders that he got the Shadow Sword when he began using it again to fight back against the Demon Steves. Sabre also scared the steves when he used the darkness to push back the Demon Steves out of the different kingdoms. When Void Steve became a Demon Steve, Sabre took the Rainbow Crystal from the citadel, which was what remained of the Rainbow Kingdom in hopes to revert Void Steve's state out of his demon form, which he destroyed in blind confidence. To make it worse, the leaders also ordered Sabre to go into the citadel to grab the Rainbow Crystal to give back to them, which he obviously didn't. To Sabre, what he did does massively outweigh what the leaders done to him. He did kind of deserve it, but didn't at the same time, depending on how you view it. Meanwhile, Dark Steve just remained chill, standing next to Time Steve.
"They're not going to hurt us. I think they want to talk," Dark Steve pointed out.
"Everyone," Time Steve loud and clear said.
"Uh... uh... hey," Sabre nervously said, looking at the leaders.
"You all have something to say, don't you?" Time Steve added.
"Sabre, I am sorry. I based my judgement on you upon fear of the past. I welcome you back with open arms, old friend. I also welcome you, Dark," Said the Orange Leader.
"Um... oh... okay sure, yeah uh... n no problem? I guess?" Sabre stuttered, completely bewildered by the Orange Leader. He was expecting a totally different and a very negative response. The Yellow Leader then walked up to Sabre.
"Yellow?" Sabre said with a shaky voice, who is still a little nervous at seeing all the leaders, especially after seeing they had their weapons on them.
"Sabre... I should've trusted you... I'm truly sorry. You have helped my people so many times. You're both welcome to visit us anytime!" Said the Yellow Leader, who made a few pauses in the beginning of what he had to say. He then walked back.
"Well, thank you! Yellow, that means a lot," Sabre responded, feeling a lot more relaxed. By now, Sabre knew that they were only here to all apologize to him.
"Uh... I don't... huh..." Sabre said, quickly looking at Time Steve before looking back at the leaders.
"This is a lot to take in, but... uh, Green? I'm guessing you needed to say something too?" Said Sabre, looking over to the Green Leader.
"Sabre, I'm sorry that I turned you away. I acted out of fear for the future of my people," The Green Leader said calmly.
"Well... oh... okay. Yeah, I... I'm not sure what came about all of this, but look. Orange, Yellow, Green, I forgive you guys. Don't worry about it. We all went through a lot," Sabre responded.
"I'll explain later-" Sabre then interrupted Time Steve.
"Okay, you better, Time," Sabre responded to Time Steve.
"Um, Blue? What's up?" Sabre asked, noticing that the Blue Leader walked up to him.
"I'm sorry we turned our back on you... you're welcome near my people any time. So are you, Dark," The Blue Leader answered before walking back.
"You know I'm starting to get the feeling that... um... you all feel a certain way here," Sabre responded, looking to Time Steve before looking back to the leaders. The Indigo Leader then walked up to Sabre.
"Let me guess, Indigo? What did you need to say?" Sabre asked.
"I'm sorry I jumped to conclusions, I shouldn't have been so quick to doubt you at the kingdom, I hope you can forgive me," The Indigo Leader replied before walking back.
"Of course Indigo. Don't worry about it," Sabre responded.
"Violet Leader? I'm guessing you need to something too then?" Sabre asked.
"Yes," The Violet Leader answered as he walked up to Sabre.
"Okay well, I guess I'm listening," Sabre responded.
"I'm so sorry for undermining your judgement Sabre. I was wrong... I hope you can forgive me," Said the Violet Leader. For a few moments, Sabre was quiet, thinking of what to say.
"Well," Sabre started off.
"Listen everybody, I don't know what brought this upon... you all, but heh... you didn't undermine me and I didn't undermine you. Remember, we're all working together here. You know, you did what thought was best for your people, I did what I thought was best. We all want the best for each other, right? We're a team, we work together, as equals here. So, I appreciate the kind sentiments, and if... if you want me to forgive you, then you're forgiven. I'm just happy we can all be back on good terms again. I... I don't know how, but hey, then either way, thank you, "Sabre replied with a lengthy response, feeling overwhelmed by positive emotions, but was also very grateful.
"And Dark, I'm sorry for doubting in you. I only had the past in mind, not the present. I hope you can forgive me," Said Light Steve.
"I understand, Light," Dark Steve responded.
"Is that all? I need to talk with Dark, Time and Light," Sabre requested.
"Thank you all for coming. Feel free to go back to your kingdoms and, or worlds," Said Time Steve, walking up to the leaders. One by one, all the leaders walked out of the house, back to wherever they originally were, leaving Sabre, Dark Steve, Time Steve and Light Steve in the house.
"Oh yeah, I should probably put the darkness still on me back into the sword," Sabre said as he began using the Shadow Sword, summoning lightning until all the darkness was removed from him.
"Goodbye everyone! Thank you! Seriously, thank you so much! Goodbye," Sabre loudly said as the leaders were by now a fair distance from the house. Sabre then closed the door.
"Goodbye," The Violet Leader loudly replied.
"Now who teleported me here!? Sabre?" Light Steve questioned Sabre.
"We'll get to that in a minute," Sabre replied.
"Anyway, Time... you know, I kind of been thinking about why they've all just been apologizing to me-" Sabre was cut off by Light Steve.
"He fixed this Interdimensional TV thing, we watched the whole thing! Now can you explain how I ended up here!?" Light Steve bluntly explained, immediately demanding answers afterwards on why or how he was teleported to the house.
"Ah, right, okay okay. Anyway... not to worry everyone, but um... I've spoke to someone. This person I talked to said that there's a new foe, but didn't go into depth on who this foe is," Sabre answered, explaining what he has been told.
"Already!? Shadow was just dealt with MOMENTS ago!" Light Steve exclaimed.
"Yes, already," Sabre sighed.
"This person said they can't help. So he teleported you... well uh... he used me to teleport you, Light, to help us. The only problem is that... uh, we don't know who that... foe is," Said Sabre, slowing down his speech towards the end.
"I'd say we should worry about Elemental more than this said foe. He is the only standing issue at the moment," Time Steve suggested.
"Yeah... um, you're right," Sabre responded, nodding in agreement. Sabre, Dark Steve, Time Steve and Light Steve began discussing on their next step, defeating Elemental Steve. They were now all sat inside the living room, where there was a green couch up against the wall by the window that was facing the rest of the village. Opposite the couch, there was a spruce chair and a stone fireplace, facing each other on opposite corners of the living room. Sabre, Light Steve and Dark Steve were sitting on the couch and Time Steve was sitting on the chair.
"Well, now with Shadow dealt with, we need to now deal with Elemental. He's completely gone off the deep end," Said Sabre.
"With there being four of us now, we should easily defeat him," Dark Steve responded.
"Yes, and now with Shadow gone, Sabre can now use the Shadow Sword," Time Steve pointed out.
"Yeah. With Shadow gone, it'll be fine. Right now, we need to focus on Elemental. He's probably gaining more power as we speak," Sabre replied.
