"Who... who are you!?" Light Steve stuttered, stepping backwards, away from the figure, scared and anxious.
"It's not important," The figure casually replied.
"Stay back! He isn't to be trusted!" Twilight yelled as she, the rest of the mane 6 and Sabre regrouped with Spike, Dark Steve, Time Steve and Light Steve. Fluttershy went and hid behind everyone, hiding her face away from the figure. She was very scared of just looking at it.
"Well well well, it's you seven again!" The figure exclaimed as it looks up and warps about gravity. Everyone fell off the ground and into the sky. The figure then warps gravity again, returning gravity back to normal. Twilight levitated everyone back down, safely down to the ground.
"What... who... just who do you think you are!?" Dark Steve shouted at the figure.
"Oh, something you all should be very... VERY... scared of!" The figure's distorted voice boomed and echoed. It then creates a rip in space time, showing the Steve Village in the rip.
"It would be ashame if this nice looking village was to just disappear," The figure added, looking through the rip.
"No! Don't you DARE destroy the village!" Sabre yelled at a deafening volume, looking upwards at the figure from the ground. It then turned around and closed the rip.
"Okay, I won't destroy the village," The figure replied.
"Now go away and leave us alone!" Light Steve shouted.
"I will go away," The figure seemingly complied as it just disappeared without a trace.
"Did he just teleport away without summoning lightning!?" Light Steve exclaimed.
"Yes, I sensed him teleporting away," Said Elemental Steve.
"That was him! That was the steve we saw!" Twilight exclaimed.
"That was him, huh? Hmm okay. He definitely seems... cookoo... to say the least. But yeah, just hope he doesn't become a... uh, you know, a problem later down the line," Sabre responded.
"Let's get back to the village and then we can sort something out," Sabre suggested.
"I'll go back to the inbetween," Elemental Steve replied.
"I'm probably not welcome there as I did attack the village before. I'll keep an eye on things from the inbetween to make everything up. I know what I did the the Green village leader can't be reversed. Looking over everything from the inbetween is the least I can do," Elemental Steve added.
"Yeah that kinda makes sense. Thank you. Elemental," Sabre responded. Elemental Steve summoned bolts of lightning and teleported back to the inbetween. Meanwhile, everyone and everypony else started walking back to the Steve Village, with Rainbow Dash hovering above the ground with everyone. 10 minutes later, they made it back to the village, but it is burning, all the inhabitants of the village are running around freaking out.
"What the!?" Everyone and everypony exclaimed and gasped. They then see a Yellow Steve and a Violet Steve that are wearing a dark grey collar with a but of red on the front of the collar. They were the Yellow and Violet village leader and they went to rush up to them,
"Thank goodness you're all here!" The Violet village leader exclaimed as he and the Yellow village leader rushed over to everyone and everypony.
"Yellow and Violet Village Leader! What happened!? Who did this!?" Sabre yelled loudly, having no idea what caused the massive village-wide fire. However, Sabre knew this was definitely not an accident, the fire seemed a bit too large to be considered an accident.
"You lot said 'don't destroy the village', not 'don't burn the village'!" A voice creepily and eerily echoed behind everyone. They turned around to see it's the figure, just hovering above them, in the air. It then hovered down, but still hovering above the ground. Everyone's attention turns immediately towards it.
"You did this!? You're a monster!" Sabre angrily shouted, looking directly into the the figure's red and orange eyes.
"You all told me to go away and not destroy the village. I did what you told me to do, go away, leave you all alone and not destroy the village," The figure added.
"You've just destroyed the village! Doesn't this look 'destroyed' to you!?" The Yellow village leader shouted in a fit of rage.
"No, just I burnt the village. I'll show you my definition of destroyed!" The figure's voice echoed with a deafening, emotionless and distorted roar, sending shockwaves across the world and making everyone around the world lose their balance. The figure then looked down to the ground. The ground began to vigorously shake.
"No! NO!" Sabre screamed whilst firing several fireballs with the Shadow Sword against the figure, but not doing anything. Twilight's horn then glows purple and manages to teleport all the inhabitants of the village, the village leaders, everyone, her friends as well as herself far away from the village just before the figure completely annihilated the Steve Village by effortlessly making the village buildings crumble as if it was all gravel.
Twilight teleported everyone to a random location. Twilight then collapses onto the ground, grunting of exhaustion. She exerted all her energy in teleporting everyone away far as possible, away from the figure.
"Twilight, you okay there?" Sabre asked as he helped Twilight up.
"Yeah..." Twilight moaned as she got up with the help of Sabre.
"Well... I guess we know who our new foe is," Light Steve sighed.
"Yeah Light. He's... uh, a bit of a problem," Sabre replied.
"A bit!? A bit of a problem!? More like a massive gigantic problem!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. Meanwhile, Spike looked behind Sabre and is able to see something.
"Hey... I see something in the distance," Spike said as he pointed at a stone brick wall in the distance. Just above the walls, the head of a Yellow Steve statue is in view. Sabre immediately knew where they all were.
"Woah... the old Yellow Kingdom. It's been a while since I been here," Sabre said to himself.
"We should all settle in there, it's far away from whatever that monster was," One of the village inhabitants suggested.
"I agree, that abandoned yellow kingdom will provide us a place to stay and a base of operations," Light Steve responded.
"Hang on, I need a moment," Dark Steve replied as he walked off.
"Wait! Dark!" Sabre said as he caught up with Dark Steve.
"What's wrong Dark?" Sabre quietly asked.
"It's... the kingdom. It brings up the memories of me helping Nightmare making it fall," Dark Steve sighed as he looked down to the ground.
"Dark, look. You are not who you once were. You're different now, you've change. It's okay," Sabre replied.
"It still doesn't take away the fact I helped make that kingdom fall," Dark Steve responded.
"Well, you can help to start it up again with all the steves from that village. What do you say pal?" Sabre quickly said in an uplifting tone, lifting Dark Steve's spirits up. Dark Steve nodded as he and Sabre regrouped with the rest.
Everyone began getting to work. Half of the steves went out and gathered recourses such as oak logs and cobblestone to make houses while the other half of the steves, the mane 6 and Spike helped construct. Within 30 minutes, small huts made entirely of oak planks have been established, all the huts being the same sizes. The mane 6 and Spike even had their separate huts.
"Alright, making some progress here. Good, good," Said Sabre, nodding as he went walking around, inspecting the huts.
"These huts will have to do for now. It is starting to get late, all rest up," Sabre added at the top of his voice, so everyone could hear him.
All the steves as well as the mane 6 and Spike went into their separate huts apart from Fluttershy. When the rest of the mane 6 and Spike were settled into their huts, Fluttershy knocked on the door of Rainbow Dash's hut. Rainbow Dash got up and opened the door.
"Mind if I uh... sleep in your hut? He... the thing... he... he scares me..." Fluttershy quietly and nervously said as she quivered. Rainbow Dash could tell Fluttershy is absolutely petrified of whatever the steve they saw is. Rainbow Dash nodded.
"Sure thing Fluttershy," Rainbow Dash replied. The 2 close pegasuses then settled down with each other, inside the hut. Fluttershy now felt a lot more relaxed and safe.
All the steves, Sabre, the mane 6 and Spike were all sleep 10 minutes later. In the darkest of areas across the entire world as well as the darkest areas of every reality, the figure is watching. It then saw that the steves of the Steve Village were in the Yellow Kingdom, as well as Sabre, Dark Steve, Time Steve, Light Steve, the mane 6 and Spike. However, the figure chose not to destroy it just yet. It wanted them to feel settled, then destroy it by surprise.
