"Well well well, look at who it is? Madness Steve. You've could've easily destroyed all of us a long time ago, y'know? But, you messing about with us gave us time, and now look at us, and we're going to take you down!" Sabre started off slowly, but gradually picked up the pace, then full on yelling at him.
"You tried to torture us, but it didn't work! All you did was unite us! You've destroyed the Steve Village... the leaders... the people, and I will make you PAY!" Sabre growled loudly.
"There's three of you," Said Madness Steve.
"Oh, there is. So? So what? You scared? After scaring and tormenting others, you're scared? Ha! Scared that you know us three combined are stronger than you, and that you know you're gonna lose?" Sabre responded.
"Scared? No, because I know I'll come back. Even if I do lose to you three, I'll come back-"
"Then we will defeat you again! Madness Steve!" Twilight shouted as she interrupt, hovering up, looking down at Madness Steve, who which looks back at her, looking up.
"Even though you've taken so many away. I've learnt a lot over these days, from my friends, old and new. It's not the amount of power, it's the strength of friendship that will win. Friendship may not be easy, but it's worth fighting for!" Twilight shouted, but even louder.
"You may knock us down. But no matter what, no matter how hard you hit us down, we'll always get back up! We will keep going and face everything together, no matter what! Not gonna lie, you've scared me Madness Steve, which takes a lot, but it goes to show how horrible you are!" Rainbow Dash added onto Twilight's message, hovering up close to her. One by one, the mane 6 began to hold forehooves.
"Oh no no no no no no no. I don't think so," Madness Steve said as he immediately separates the mane 6 with absolutely no effort. 6 orange and yellow glowing dots began to appear, beams, about to hit the mane 6. The mane 6 tried to get up, but Madness Steve kept them down with force. Discord couldn't do anything either.
"Oh no! Time! Elemental! NOW!" Sabre shouted as he leads the charge first at Madness Steve, hitting him with the Shadow Sword, which is boosted by the essence. Immediately after, the 6 orange and yellow glowing dots disappeared. Elemental Steve traps him in a ball of pitch black blocks, with a mix of magma, lava, bedrock and obsidian. Time Steve began to summon lightning, with Madness Steve trapped in it, being held in place at the moment by Elemental Steve. Then, the ball just exploded, the blocks making up that ball spewing everywhere, creating a blinding flash. The flash blinded Sabre, Time Steve and Elemental Steve for a few seconds.
Once Sabre, Time Steve and Elemental Steve gained their vision back, everything is pitch black. The only ones they can see is each other, and their nemesis. They feared that Madness Steve had just done the worst. Did he just destroy the entirety of this reality, with everypony from it?
"NO! Why- I'LL MAKE YOU PAY!" Sabre screamed as he charges at Madness Steve, ready to hit Madness Steve with the sword again. But Madness Steve gets out his sword, and simply blocks the incoming attack. The attack sent waves of energy, which sent Sabre flying back a few metres. Time Steve also went in to attack Madness Steve, but he just simply creates a portal around him, connecting it to another portal behind Elemental Steve. Luckily, Time Steve manages to stop himself doing friendly fire.
"Oh, simple minded fighters, going in one at a time. You think this will be like the fights against any regular steve. You think it's going to be just swords, giant balls of material, lightning and fireballs!? If so, I'm afraid YOU ALL HAVE ALREADY LOST!" Madness Steve yelled as he summons several powerful reality warping beams, coming at Sabre, Time Steve and Elemental Steve. Luckily, Elemental Steve uses the newfound abilities to teleport himself as well as Sabre and Time Steve out the way. Madness Steve then creates an opposite of a black hole, a white hole. Matter began spewing out, but not just matter, meteors and asteroids made of pitch black blocks, bedrock and magma came flying at them. Whilst doing so, Madness Steve creates a black hole behind Sabre, Time Steve and Elemental Steve, so the gravitational pull of it accelerates the speed of the incoming meteors and asteroids. The trio gets sucked into the black hole, and the different meteors and asteroids began to hit them all. Again, Elemental Steve saves everyone, who is beginning to understand the powers better than Sabre and Time Steve. He teleports them as well as himself out the black hole. Elemental Steve then goes on the offensive, and creates the same reality warping beam with his sword, taking Madness Steve by surprise. Elemental Steve manages to connect that beam, hitting Madness Steve. Madness Steve fires a beam at Elemental Steve, but he opens a black hole infront of him to defend himself, but Madness Steve opens a portal infront that black hole, connecting to another portal, above Elemental Steve. Madness Steve hits Elemental Steve with the beam back in return, but luckily the armour is working, which if he didn't have, he would've very likely been instantly vaporized.
"Woah... Madness Steve... he- He isn't like any other steve. He may be a steve, but he doesn't fight like one. He fights totally different to how other steves fight. He's a steve with powerful interdimensional abilities. But it doesn't matter, we have to stop him, here and now," Sabre said to himself.
"How do you know how to use these powers? Heh, the other two don't know how to use these powers properly. Ha, ha. No one ever managed to pick up doing so as you, so very quickly. Ha," Madness Steve sniggered at Elemental Steve.
"I am Elemental Steve! I can figure out any different kind of powers and elements!" Elemental Steve shouted, going in for another hit against Madness Steve with his sword, which Madness Steve blocks with his sword.
"Time, we can't just sit- Well, float about here! We have to help Elemental! Come on!" Sabre yelled as he goes in to hit Madness Steve, as did Time Steve too. In a split second before getting hit, Madness Steve opens a portal infront of Sabre and Time Steve, connecting to a portal on each side of Elemental Steve. Sabre and Time Steve didn't have enough time to react and accidentally hits Elemental Steve. Luckily, they didn't do too much to Elemental Steve.
"Everyone, we can't just go in one by one! We have to go in all at the same time! Three, two, one, go go go!" Sabre yelled as he leads the attack, trying to summon that reality warping beam, but only manages to summon a beam of lightning, which did nothing. Time Steve is slowly understanding how to fight with the interdimensional powers. He manages to create one of them meteors and flings at with some kinetic energy at Madness Steve, which he was about to block until Elemental Steve grabs him with the same kinetic energy and launches him straight into that meteor. Elemental Steve is the one who is quickly learning how to use the interdimensional powers.
"Oh Sabre, you can't fight with interdimensional powers! Ha! What makes you think you can fight me then? You're so used to these... world-bound fights, aren't you? This isn't a world-bound fight, and I have much more knowledge with this kind of stuff than you!" Madness Steve chuckled as he summons several megaversal sized quasars. Beams of highly charged particles of from the quasars, which Elemental Steve blocks it with an asteroid for each beam there is. Madness Steve began to focus his attention on Elemental Steve. He is actually dangerous as he knows how to use the powers. If he keeps it up, he will end up weakening his False Form, letting Sabre and Time Steve actually do something, and screw up his progress. Although it wouldn't matter too much, it would just be very frustrating if progress is screwed up and then having to start over again. Madness Steve slowly began to take less attention of Sabre and Time Steve and slowly began focusing Elemental Steve. He grabs Elemental Steve and freezes him in place. He starts firing several beams at him, who is currently defenceless.
"Elemental, hang in there brother!" Time Steve shouted as he opens a black hole behind Madness Steve, trying to pull him back, away from Elemental Steve, but it isn't working. Sabre jumps infront of the beams, taking a few painful hits from a few, but then manages to create a portal infront of him, Time Steve and Elemental Steve, and connects it to a portal behind Madness Steve. All the other beams hit Madness Steve.
"Ha ha ha ha! You all finally working it out? Hmph, now we can really begin!" Madness Steve chuckled.
"He's been just toying with us-"
"Yes Sabre, I have been. You think I would've let any of you land those attacks if was trying!? Discord could do better, and he STILL FAILED! Time to show what I can REALLY do! AH HAHAHA! AH HAHAHA HAHAHA!" Madness Steve hysterically chuckled and laugh as he traps Sabre, Time Steve and Elemental Steve in a massive cube. He creates a portal on the ceiling and floor inside the cube.
"Oh... it's so easy dealing with you three! I could do all this with my eyes closed! But, I want to watch all this! This will be great entertainment!" Madness Steve chuckled. He creates falling blocks, weighing the same as metaverses, some even weighing now at megaverses. The blocks began to hit the trio very hard and began to slowly damage the armour. They are stuck in place.
"I can't do anything!" Sabre exclaimed, panicking as the falling blocks became bigger in quantity and weight.
"Sabre, Time, I have an idea, but you won't like it," Elemental Steve slowly murmured out.
"I can try do something, and I can guarantee it will get both of you out," Elemental Steve briefly explained.
"Yeah we could- Wait, both!? What about you Elemental!? You're not staying here! There has to be another way!" Sabre yelled, in horror of Elemental Steve's idea. He deep down knew what Elemental Steve meant, but he wanted to believe that everyone can get out.
"There isn't," Elemental Steve responded.
"No Elemental! There has to be another way! I- We can't leave you! YOU'RE MY BROTHER!" Time Steve screamed, putting his sword away and wraps his arms around Elemental Steve, hugging him tight.
"Elemental, you shouldn't do this," Sabre spoke with a very sorrowful voice.
"I won't let you get destroyed! NOT LIKE THIS!" Time Steve cried.
"If I don't do this, we'll all be destroyed. If I can lend all my power, from the armour and sword into your armour and swords, you two will get out. That, I can guarantee," Elemental Steve responded.
"After everything I done, to the Green Steve from that village... I must redeem myself!" Elemental Steve snapped back.
"You've already redeemed yourself Elemental! You've helped plenty man! You can't sacrifice yourself! We can all get past this-"
"No, I can't. My time has come, Sabre. You two have to get out of here! As soon as I do so, you two must teleport!" Elemental Steve exclaimed.
"You- I- I- We- we cannot... I- We refuse," Time Steve stuttered.
"I figured," Elemental Steve responded.
"But there's only one way you two are getting out of here," Elemental Steve spoke with a more serious sounding voice.
"Wait- What do you mean Elemental? One way? You don't mean-"
"Sabre, Time. If you two won't, I will..." Elemental Steve said as he began summoning lighting with all the power in him, pushing the essence out of his armour and sword, into Sabre's and Time Steve's armour and swords, managing to teleport them out the cube. Sabre and Time Steve look at Elemental Steve, who is still in the cube, partially faded away, only in regular red coloured armour, redstone armour, also holding his sword, which is now just a redstone sword.
"No Elemental! We can get you out! Hang in there man!" Sabre said as she tries to use the Shadow Sword to get him out, slamming it against the cube, but isn't able to. The sword just bounced back of the cube each time he hit the cube.
"No! NO! WAIT NO!" Time Steve screamed, slamming his fists in sheer sorrow and intense emotional pain in him. Time Steve bursts into tears. He can't do anything for his brother.
"I only have a few moments left until this cube destroys me, listening carefully, Time, and Sabre..." Elemental Steve coughed out, slowly fading away.
"I CAN SAVE YOU! COME ON! YOU'RE MY BROTHER!" Time Steve screamed, helplessly and emotionally slamming his fists against the cube, tears streaming down his face, sorrow, distraught, devastated.
"Always do your best. Your best is going to change from moment to moment. It will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick..." Elemental Steve coughed more, fading away even more now.
"Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self- judgement, self-abuse, and *cough*... regret..." Elemental Steve said as his coughing began to get worse.
"And Sabre..." Elemental Steve said as he turns to look at Sabre.
"Please, look after... *cough*... Time... *cough*... and say I'm grateful... *cough* ... to have met the ponies to Twilight, for me... *cough* *cough*..." Elemental Steve coughed more and more.
"Goodbye... Time... *cough*... and Sabre... *cough*..." Elemental Steve coughed out his last few words, before the armour broke apart, and another block fell on him, destroying him in an instant, no lightning, just becoming a poof of smoke, which almost immediately evaporated afterwards.
"Your sacrifice won't be in vain, Elemental. I- We will stop him, Elemental," Sabre said to himself inside of his head.
"You- I... I can't believe you..." Time Steve growled as he turns around and looks at Madness Steve dead in the eyes.
"The first time, I knew you didn't really destroy my brother, just... you sent somewhere... which kept me losing my rag... but... he is now destroyed..." Time Steve stuttered, feelings of sorrow, sadness and distraught being very quickly replaced with feelings of livid anger, fury and rage. Before Madness Steve began to respond...
"No... more- NO MORE!" Time Steve screamed as he went way past infinite speed, whizzing past Madness Steve, each time hitting him with his sword.
"I'M GOING TO DESTROY YOU!" Time Steve screamed, overridden with his rage, taken over by his anger, taken control by his fury. Time Steve began orbiting Madness Steve, shooting several of them high reality warping beams, hitting Madness Steve each time. Madness Steve meanwhile just laughs all of this off. Time Steve began to do very serious damage to Madness Steve's False Form. Sabre then jumps in, but Time Steve prevents him to.
"Time- I- You can't do this just by yourself! You're being blinded with rage! This is dangerous! We have to be careful! I know you want him destroyed as much as I and-"
"HE IS ALL MINE!" Time Steve shouted with absolute anger, pushing Sabre back more. Madness Steve then flings Time Steve to the side, and Sabre began to see several of them similar yellow and orange glowing dots, several black and grey fists, white holes, black holes, all surrounding Time Steve, all aiming at Time Steve. Sabre manages to block each block, firing several beams of bedrock at the dots, but Madness Steve fires back even stronger bedrock beams, shattering Sabre's beams and hitting him. As for the yellow and orange dots, the beams finally came, and hit Time Steve. Sabre and Time Steve are unable to move, and Madness Steve gives them his ultimatum.
"I'll make a deal with you two. Give up, and I'll make both of your deaths quick and painless, and I'll make it so you two meet Elemental again. Continue to fight however, I'll drag out your deaths, and make you die painfully in agony, and I'll make it so you two WON'T meet Elemental again," Said Madness Steve, chuckling at the end, holding at his lava looking sword, holding the sword in his right hand, held close to Sabre and Time Steve.
"So!? Which IS IT!? You have ten seconds to make the decision, or I'll make it for both of you!" Madness Steve shouted.
"Ten!"
"Nine!"
"Eight!"
"Seven!"
"Six!"
"Five!"
"Four!"
"Three!"
"Two!"
"One!"
"So... which will it be? If you haven't made a decision, I've already made it!" Madness Steve shouted. Sabre looks behind Madness Steve and sees a being with very similar yellow scleras, having a red iris and white pupils.
"It's been fun messing with you, but now, your journey has come to an end, and it'll be a vicious end-" The being behind Madness Steve draws out a sword, and then slams it down, right on top of Madness Steve. The sword this being is using looks like him, but as a sword.
"Discord! You saved us!" Sabre exclaimed with relief.
"Yes, of course. Now, you've weaken him enough to the point that I can actually get payback, oh ho-"
"This isn't a table conversation man! He just destroyed Elemental dude!" Sabre exclaimed in response. Discord's expression on his face went blank in response.
"Oh..." Discord eventually replied in slow motion. He knew that what Sabre meant by 'destroyed' was 'killed'.
"Look, you ain't doing anything! I'll be the one that'll DESTROY HIM!" Time Steve screamed as he just pushes Discord out the way, ragingly crashing into Madness Steve, digging his sword into Madness Steve's left side, weakening him further.
"I want to help him, but he won't let me-"
"We will just have to help him without him knowing Sabre," Discord interrupted. Discord snaps his eagle claws, and the aura on the Shadow Sword changes colour to an yellow orangish colour, as did the aura on the sword Time Steve is using. The same coloured aura also appears around Discord's sword.
"Wait, what is this meant to do?" Sabre asked.
"Now, we can channel our abilities through our sword, into Time Steve's sword. It will charge his abilities, and in theory should help," Discord explained.
"Now, don't go crazy. The way Time Steve is acting in my opinion is stupid- It's understandable, but dangerously stupid. But now, we can help him. Don't put in full force, unless Madness Steve is about to defeat him," Discord said as he snaps his claws and creates a dark wooden table, with the same coloured aura around it. It is protected by the aura, so it won't break
"Just hit the table, think of what ability you want to use, and it should channel over to Time Steve," Discord explained as he began slamming his sword on the table. Sabre began slamming the Shadow Sword on the table. Both Discord and Sabre began starting on the low end of powers first.
Time Steve meanwhile is annihilating Madness Steve. Madness Steve's False Form had been seriously damaged, and been severely weakened. Madness Steve's False Form could no longer react fast enough to respond to the attacks.
"TAKE THIS!" Time Steve screamed as he struck Madness Steve with reality warping beam after reality warping beam. Time Steve began to feel more power going into his sword, and began shooting powers on it's own, but he didn't think about that. He thought of hitting Madness Steve whilst the sword is weirdly acting.
"AND TAKE THIS!" Time Steve screamed, slamming the sword into Madness Steve, whilst the sword for some reason going haywire, and somehow working to his advantage, but he didn't question it. Time Steve just wanted to obliterate Madness Steve until there is nothing left. The more Time Steve hit Madness Steve, the more Madness Steve began to chuckle, which made Time Steve's emotions even more explosive.
"You know I'll just come back don't you!? This will all be for nothing!" Madness Steve chuckled, his False Form now basically rendered powerless.
"SHUT UP!" Time Steve screamed as he went back very far, to get as much momentum as he could when he charges. He intends on this to be the last needed hit. Time Steve carefully looks at Madness Steve, who is just floating there, laughing. Like a bull, Time Steve just charge, and aims the sword directly into the face of Madness Steve's False Form. The sword slashes against Madness Steve for the last time. That last swing destroyed Madness Steve's False Form, the False Form went and poof up in smoke, which instantly evaporated in the vacuum they are in. Time Steve looks up, and sees Sabre and Discord. Time Steve hovers back up. Before Time Steve got up, Discord snaps his eagle claws and the wooden table he and Sabre were using to secretly help Time Steve, had disappeared.
"Time... we did it- No, you did it! We defeated Madness Steve! Wait- Oh... um... not the best time to celebrate Sabre," Sabre exclaimed, but slowly mutters to himself with the last sentence. Elemental Steve had just died. Time Steve is very likely not feeling the greatest.
"Blindly charging in like that was really-"
"I don't care, maybe if you hadn't just stayed on watch and actually done something, my brother may still be here! Maybe Derpy, Dinky and Spike may still be here! This could've been avoided if you actually didn't go off track and actually done something!" Time Steve shouted at Discord, summoning lightning below him, immediately silencing him, with shock at the way he snapped.
"Woah... Time, um..." Sabre stuttered
"Time Steve, I'm... I'm sorry-"
"It's too late, he's gone," Time Steve snapped, interrupting Discord. Discord remained quiet. He now began to feel bad. Maybe if he didn't just supervise, it could've actually saved more steves and ponies.
"Wait, Discord, when that ball exploded... did it destroy like... everything?" Sabre asked. Discord's mind comes back to reality, now looking at Sabre.
"Oh uh, um... thankfully, no. My chaos magic just managed to stop that happening, but barely though. Had it not been for you three, he would've destroyed everything, and most likely everypony would've fallen with it," Discord replied.
"Let's just get back to everybody else," Discord said as he snaps his eagle claws, to teleport back to where everyone else is.
Discord's teleportation gets intercepted by something. Whoever intercepted the teleport, it made Discord teleport him, Sabre and Time Steve infront of a large bedrock portal, the one that led to the void that is just by a nearby lake, with trees on the left and right side.
"Huh? Something just-" Discord gets cut off by a laughter, chaotic laughter at that.
"HA HA hawawa hawa hahahraraaa! Hahawarara HARARHAAAARAHA AH HAHAHA!" A very distorted echoey laugh interrupted Discord from speaking. Lightning began to be summoned, and a red figure with purple marks appeared, with them looking down. They look up, and looks at Sabre, Time Steve and Discord with their single red eye, outlined in black.
