The mane 6 are in awe of the Time Dimension. The floor is made with spruce wooden planks and slabs. Each wall was of granite and bricks as well as massive brown cogs and orange things that looked like either pipes or wires. On each wall of the Time Dimension, there is a massive clock, each emitting light. In the middle of the Time Dimension, there are also 4 clocks made of wood, although much smaller than the clocks on the walls and are supported on blue stained glass and glass panes. Sabre, Time Steve, Light Steve, Professor Red and the mane 6 are on the opposite side from where the Interdimensional TV, they are where the portal in and out of the Time Dimension is.
"This place sort of reminds me of my lab," Said Professor Red.
"And your lab sort of reminds me of my dimension," Time Steve replied.
"Yeah, technological huh," Sabre responded to Professor Red and Time Steve.
"This dimension, it's unique," Said Twilight.
"So, where is this TV?" Rainbow Dash asked Time Steve.
"Interdimensional TV to be precise. Anyway, this way," Time Steve replied as he turned right and began to walk before he turned left and continued walking, with Sabre, Light Steve, Professor Red and the mane 6 following close by. Half way, Time Steve stopped walking, where part of the floor is made of andesite. Time Steve then went to press and flick some levers and buttons.
"What do they do?" Pinkie Pie asked as she went to flick a lever, but Time Steve immediately got infront of the lever, getting between Pinkie Pie and the lever.
"Don't touch," Time Steve said in a serious and stern voice to Pinky Pie.
"Okey dokey lokey," Pinkie Pie responded. Time Steve then continued walking until he, Sabre, Light Steve, Professor Red and the mane 6 got infront of the Interdimensional TV, which is currently off, only showing a black screen. On the opposite side of the Interdimensional TV are 3 buttons and 3 levers, which Time Steve began flicking and pushing. Then, the Interdimensional TV switched on, showing the machine they all made in the ravine, they were viewing the top of the ravine.
"How does the Interdimensional TV work?" Rarity asked.
"I use this to usually look over everything and all that," Time Steve replied.
"So you're the one in this world that looks over everything?" Twilight asked.
"Yeah, well, before me and Elemental were created, a steve called Galaxy Steve watched over everything," Time Steve replied.
"I see him on the screen!" Light Steve exclaimed as he as well as Sabre, Time Steve, Professor Red and the mane 6 turned their attention to the screen. On the screen, there was Madness Steve flying between the metal bars, looking down at the chronometer Time Steve placed down. Fluttershy hid behind Rainbow Dash upon seeing Madness Steve in the screen, only able to peak at the screen.
"Oh, so that's what Madness Steve looks like?" Professor Red asked.
"Yeah, and he's a psychopath," Light Steve replied.
"I really hope this works," Sabre muttered underneath his breath, absolutely heightened by anxiety over the possibility that the machine might not work.
"What is he doing? Can you get another angle Time?" Sabre asked. Time Steve then pressed a few buttons on the opposite side of the Interdimensional TV a few times. The perspective on the Interdimensional TV changed, they are all now viewing the bottom of the ravine, where they could see Time Steve's chronometer and Madness Steve, who is just looking at the chronometer. Madness Steve then disappeared without a trace, either by teleporting without lightning or by pausing time and flying away. Time Steve then turned off the Interdimensional TV.
"Now we got to check the machine," Said Sabre.
"Uh... is the Interdimensional TV meant to have red and orange eyes!?" Applejack shrieked, stumbling back, away from the Interdimensional TV. Everyone else can also see the red and orange eyes, which blinked a few times. They began to walk back, away from the Interdimensional TV.
"Uh... what's... going on!? Oh no oh no..." Sabre stuttered. Then very smoothly, Madness Steve comes out of the Interdimensional TV. Everyone took several steps back, apart from Professor Red.
"Uh... hello?" Professor Red nervously said, getting closer to Madness Steve. Twilight's horn glowed purple and a purple aura formed around Professor Red. Twilight then dragged Professor Red back, away from Madness Steve.
"I see you left a chronometer of sorts on the floor," Madness Steve said as he tossed it down to the floor, which Time Steve quickly picked up.
"What do you want? Not as if you done enough damage already," Sabre muttered.
"Three days have passed, meaning you all have a week and four days. However, toying with you lot is getting more boring by the minute, the second, the millisecond and so on, so I'm knocking off a week, meaning there is only four days. Fluttershy now has four days before she is dead," Madness Steve chillingly replied. Fluttershy bursted into tears out of utter fear.
"If you want to take her down, you have to take us all down!" Rainbow Dash yelled, flying close to Madness Steve.
"Let's now make that three days," Madness Steve replied. Rainbow Dash then immediately flew back, away from Madness Steve, her eyes widening, realizing that she made the situation a lot worse.
"I've spoke to Discord and Luna. They're really worried for you! They have absolutely no idea on how to get to you or whatever, they can't do anything!" Madness Steve laughed.
"Have you just came here to MOCK US!?" Sabre angrily yelled, walking very close to Madness Steve.
"You're lucky the Shadow Sword is in half... otherwise I would have struck you down by now!" Sabre heavily muttered underneath his breath. Madness Steve then punched Sabre, sending him flying backwards into a wall on the opposite side as to where everyone and everypony was. Sabre then fell down to the ground with a loud thud before collapsing onto the floor shortly afterwards.
"GAH, AH!" Sabre moaned, grunting in pain. Madness Steve then just appeared infront of Sabre, travelling at infinite speed. Madness Steve just stared at Sabre before turning his attention to Light Steve, Time Steve, Professor Red and the mane 6, who were all utterly terrified, knowing they couldn't do anything.
"Now it's two days," Madness Steve said as he instantly disappeared without a trace. Twilight immediately rushed over to Sabre to help him up off the floor.
"I have one question. Why is he so interested in destroying Fluttershy?" Time Steve wondered.
"He probably wants to kill me to devastate Discord," Fluttershy quietly murmured, looking down to the floor.
"First off, it's you six, then there's someone called Discord... how many more of you are out there?" Professor Red wondered to himself.
"He's got to get through all of us Fluttershy if he wants to get to you. We're gonna get through all of this together," Light Steve replied, walking close to Fluttershy.
"What hope is there? Within an instant, he could just annihilate all of us. He's toying with us. This isn't like against Tirek or any of our previous foes for that matter," Fluttershy sighed, completely depleted of enthusiasm.
"We have always defeated bad guys in the end. We'll eventually find some way to defeat Madness Steve. At of the end of the day, he is a bad guy... a horrifying one, but bad guys never win," Said Rainbow Dash, trying to boost Fluttershy's confidence. Fluttershy gently nods in response, who's hope was waning as the days to her seemingly inevitable destruction was looming. The only thing keeping Fluttershy from losing all hope was that she still had her friends as well as her new friends, Sabre, Time Steve, Light Steve and most recently Professor Red.
"We should probably check the machine," Sabre suggested.
"Yeah, good idea," Time Steve replied as he teleport everyone and everypony to the room where the chest was. Sabre then walked to the chest and opened it. Inside, the glass bottles were filled with some kind of essence. The essence looked like lava infected with some darkness.
"Hey, I... I think it worked!" Sabre exclaimed as he got 20 bottles of Madness Steve's essence, filling most of Sabre's inventory. Everyone cheered in joy as their possibly one step closer to possibly defeating Madness Steve. This also helped to raise Fluttershy's spirits. There is hope to stopping Madness Steve. There is hope at the end of the all.
"Right, we got the essence, what do we need to do next Sabre?" Light Steve asked.
"We need to apparently mix some elements of sorts with the essence to make the potion that should help us find these books," Sabre replied.
"The only issue is that I don't know where we're meant to get these elements," Sabre pointed out.
"Wait..." Twilight slowly responded, with an idea that had just sprung up in her head.
"I think I know somepony that could help us," Said Twilight.
"If they're from your world, we can't get to them... wait... Indigo Steves are about connection. What if we go to Indigo and he can somehow establish some connection between our world and yours!?" Sabre said slightly loud, thinking there might be a way to get to Equestria to find whoever Twilight is talking about.
"Sabre, they're not just from a different world or dimension, but a totally different reality. We don't know if Indigo Steves can connect with different worlds outside our reality," Light Steve reminded Sabre.
"Light does have a point. The only other steve that could possibly teleport to different realities would be Elemental... but he was destroyed," Time Steve sighed as soon as he brought up Elemental Steve, his brother, who was destroyed by Madness Steve.
"Then our best bet would be Indigo. He's able to do connections and all that, right?" We need Indigo for this. He's the only possible way we can possibly get to Equestria and find whoever this pony is that can help us with these magical elements," Sabre replied.
"Unless... Time, do you think you can find a way to get to wherever Equestria is?" Sabre questioned Time Steve.
"Nope," Time Steve responded.
"Light?" Sabre asked.
"Nope," Light Steve answered.
"Well, we're left with no other option. Professor Red, do you mind of you go back to the Red Kingdom? Indigo can't know about the Red Steves, not yet at least," Sabre requested. Professor Red nodded and with a few bolts of lightning, he teleported back to his lab in the Red Kingdom.
"Right, Time or Light, take us to Indigo's Tower," Sabre ordered. Time Steve then teleported everyone to the top of Indigo Steve's tower. Everyone then jumped into the hole in the floor and were teleported to the middleworld. To the surprise of Sabre, Time Steve, Light Steve and the mane 6, the middleworld was back to looking like how it looked. In the distance, they saw the Indigo Leader and all rushed to Indigo Steve.
