"Wow! How did... how did a simple machine heal a being of pure chaos like me? Hmm," Discord thought to himself. However, Discord's thoughts soon went away as Fluttershy lunged at Discord, wrapping her hoofs around Discord and hugs him tightly whilst bursting into tears.
"You're okay! You're okay!" Fluttershy exclaimed, who was crying so heavily no one could understand her other than Discord.
"It's okay Fluttershy, I'm better now," Discord quietly and smoothly said, his voice relaxing Fluttershy.
"How did you make him better so quick?" Derpy asked.
"Magic," Professor Red responded in a deep and slow voice.
"This machine has magic?" Twilight replied.
"No it's not magic, he's clearly just a man of science," Sabre corrected Twilight. Twilight nodded.
"And hey, Professor! When you healed Time, I had to agree in allowing you to experiment on me and you heal someone you never even seen just like that with no circumstances!?" Sabre exclaimed in an annoyed tone, walking closer to Professor Red.
"Sabre, chill," Time Steve said as he got infront of Sabre. Meanwhile, Discord then puts Fluttershy down onto the floor.
"Oh ho, I must greatly thank you for making me feel better," Discord said, shaking Professor Red's hand vigorously.
"Madness Steve's magic is insane! Never in my existence did I ever thought I would see somepony with magic exceeding my chaos magic!" Discord exclaimed.
"So... you weren't... going easy on him?" Applejack nervously asked, almost in disbelief that there is someone even more powerful than Discord.
Discord nodded.
"Well, luckily the Elements of Harmony worked if that's the case!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. Everyone in the room nodded, apart from M and Professor Red.
"As Madness Steve is defeated, does this mean we can party!?" Pinkie Pie exclaimed, her eyes and smile widening.
"Not yet, the Elements of Harmony was clearly not the actual method to defeating Madness Steve. We still don't know much about him. We must get to Zecora, so she can make these potions to help find the books the Great Librarian was talking about," Twilight suggested.
"Yeah, I agree with Twilight there. It's too early to celebrate, for all we could now, Madness may of just escaped and burnt the entirety of Equestria to the ground..." Sabre replied, speaking slower with each word.
"Let's... not think like that..." Starlight slowly responded.
"How are you feeling Discord? You feeling all fixed up?" Sabre asked.
"Ah yes, I'm fine. However, I got to make one suggestion, don't fight Madness Steve without a plan. It will not end well," Discord answered.
"Well, he's just a stone statue now, he can't do anything," Rainbow Dash responded.
"Don't jinx it darling. We're talking about something even more powerful than Discord here. Sabre could be right, Madness Steve could've just escaped and turning him to stone could've just done nothing," Rarity pointed out.
"I know I know... but I don't want to think that as a possibility," Rainbow Dash replied.
"So, now that Madness Steve has been dealt with for now at least, what do we do now... wait, we still need to talk to whoever Zecora is about Madness Steve's essence don't we?" Sabre pointed out.
"I'm sorry, who's Zecora!? Just how many more are there of you!?" Professor Red exclaimed.
"Uh... a lot," Starlight slowly answered.
"We could also ask the same thing about you 'steves'," Starlight added.
"Oh yeah, true, true," Professor Red replied.
"Well what are we waiting for?" Discord responded as he teleported himself, Sabre, Light Steve, Time Steve, Dark Steve, the mane 6, Starlight and Derpy to Zecora's home in the Everfree Forest. Zecora's home was a hut inside a really thick tree. There was different bottles dangling off of the tree trunks on a bit of string, some being different colours. On the front, there was 2 bright yellow windows, with the window on the right being slightly higher up on the tree than the window on the left. There was also a green and yellow mask on the ground to the right.
"Is this where Zecora lives?" Sabre asked.
"Yes, this is where Zecora lives," Twilight replied.
"Looks spooky here," Light Steve admitted. Twilight went to knock on the door with her left forehoof a few times. After a few seconds from knocking, there was a loud creaky sound from where the door was slowly being opened. Once the door was fully opened, a zebra with several gold rings around it's neck that had an ear ring walked outside, towards Twilight.
"Ah, hello Twilight... and three beings with height? Who are you three and have you come to see me?" Zecora asked, rhyming as usual. Sabre then walks up to Zecora, who is standing infront of the open entrance.
"Oh, they're our new friends," Twilight answered.
"Nice to meet you Zecora, we have come here hoping you could help us. By the way, I'm Sabre, the one that looks like a clock is Time Steve and the one that's completely white is Light Steve," Sabre added to what Twilight said.
"We need your help in making a potion of some sorts. Twilight said that you could help, can you help us?" Sabre requested. Zecora nodded.
"A potion I can make, for you to take," Zecora answered, rhyming her sentences as she often does.
"I must tell you, it's no simple potion, it's unlike any potion... I'll just explain it all when we get inside," Sabre pointed out.
"Let's all come inside and put our doubts aside," Zecora responded as she walked back into her hut, with Sabre, Time Steve, Light Steve, the mane 6, Derpy, Starlight and Discord walking in too. Inside, the most noticeable object was the gigantic grey cauldron, which was empty. To the right, there was a few sets of shelves, with different items such as bottles filled with potions and remedies or ingredients for different potions and remedies such as different magical items and elements. Ahead, there is just Zecora's bed.
"Woah," Sabre said to himself.
"So, what potion is it you require that you wish to aquire?" Zecora asked.
"According to some information from someone, we need you to fuse some essence with literally anything. Elements, magic, just anything. It's supposed to work, as long as we include this essence here. Hopefully, it should create a potion that would lead to a particular book," Sabre explained. Zecora nodded.
"I require you to pour this essence into the cauldron okay. I don't need all of the essence by the way," Zecora instructed. Sabre nodded and poured 2 bottles of Madness Steve's essence into the cauldron. Zecora then went to the shelves and grabbed some elements. Zecora then walked back to the cauldron.
"This should be enou-" As Zecora chucks these elements into the cauldron with Madness Steve's essence, it caused a blinding flash, with beams of pure white light beaming out of the windows of Zecora's hut, making everyone in the hut cover their eyes and fall over.
Everyone in the hut began to have several visions on the whereabouts of the different books about Madness Steve within just a few seconds. After the few seconds, they all found themselves on the floor, slowly getting up, one by one.
"Arrgh... my head..." Twilight groaned as she slowly got up.
"Okay, at least we don't have to do that again," Said Light Steve.
"Who is this Madness Steve guy? Please explain, or at least try" Zecora slowly asked, who could make barely any sense of the visions as she hadn't heard of Madness Steve, not until now.
"A new enemy," Time Steve answered.
"He was a new bad guy, but we turned him to stone," Rainbow Dash added to what Time Steve said.
"You're seriously gonna jinx it at this rate Rainbow Dash," Sabre responded.
"But how though?" Rainbow Dash responded back.
"But Rainbow Dash, Madness Steve is more powerful than Discord. If anything is capable of that, then there's no telling on what he can and can't do," Rarity pointed out.
"But Time Steve froze the statues state in time so he couldn't escape-" The sound of several lightning strikes could be heard in the distance, coming from the direction to Ponyville. This made everyone jump.
"Did you hear that?" Sabre asked, hoping it was just him hearing things.
"No, I heard it too," Pinkie Pie quickly said, feeling her body slowly urging to shake.
"That's strange, it isn't raining," Starlight said in a confused tone, facing towards the general direction to Ponyville. Then all of a sudden, Pinkie Pie's entire body shook, with Pinkie Pie making sounds as if she was freezing.
"Uh... that... doesn't sound good," Time Steve slowly said.
"Is it your pinkie sense?" Twilight asked, walking to Pinkie Pie. Pinkie Pie furiously nodded.
"Pinkie sense?" Light Steve responded, baffled on what Twilight was on about.
"What's wrong Pinkie Pie?" Sabre asked, who was now concerned.
"The lightning, it came from Ponyville... and it... came from the Town Hall!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed.
"Oh no... that... really doesn't sound good!" Time Steve said in a panicked manner.
"We need to get over there then, anyway, thanks Zecora!" Sabre exclaimed as he then hastily his uses the Shadow Sword to teleport himself, Time Steve, Light Steve, the mane 6, Discord, Derpy and Starlight to where the Town Hall is... well... was.
