"YOU! Why!? WHY!? LIGHT AND STARLIGHT DID NOTHING!" Sabre screamed, using the Shadow Sword and shoots a few fireballs at Madness Steve, which did nothing.
"I wouldn't blame me. Not directly at least," Madness Steve casually responded, chuckling at the end.
"What do you mean!? It was very clearly yo- No..." Sabre's voice dropped in both volume and pitch. A corrupted mare walks to Madness Steve, Derpy.
"Derpy- You made her do this Madne-"
"Yes, because even if you do uncorrupt her, she'll remember what she did whilst under my control. I'm almost tempted to uncorrupt her myself, just to see her reaction to what she did! You made me do this Sabre!"
"I HAVE TO START OVER, BECAUSE OF YOU! I SHOULD NOT TOY ABOUT WITH YOU NO MORE! I AM GOING TO DESTROY YOU, AS WELL AS YOUR FRIENDS! I WILL MAKE YOU PAY-" Before Madness Steve took action, Sabre went and attacked Derpy, hitting her with the sword with full force, knocking her down to the ground several blocks from where she was standing. That single swing seriously crippled her. Meanwhile, Madness Steve lets Derpy loose from his control, just so she could acknowledge a friend killing her as her last moments being alive.
"Derpy, if I have to destroy you, which I- No, I can't- It... it wasn't your fault- What have I done!?" Sabre exclaimed
"It... it's okay... kill me... save everyp... *cough* save everypony else... don't le... *cough* *cough*... don't let him kill any... anypony else *cough*..." Derpy coughed out, before she starred directly at Madness Steve.
"I can't- You're still there- NO!"
"Madness Steve!" Sabre yelled as he looks directly at him.
"If I have to, I'll stop you for good MYSELF! NO MORE OF THIS! I'M GONNA STOP Y-"
"If you can't destroy Derpy, then I will destroy her," Sabre finished, sounding a lot calmer, and a lot quieter. However, Sabre's voice changed. His voice sounded exactly like the voice of Shadow Sabre. Sabre had got so angry, it allowed Shadow Sabre to gain control. Shadow Sabre used the powers of the darkness to gain control, just like how he gained control of Sabre when he got angry when Void Steve destroyed Funny Orange Steve. Whilst in control, Shadow Sabre makes Sabre hovers up about 10 or so blocks, summoning lightning as he did. He looks down at Derpy, and aims the Shadow Sword at her.
"Sabre! Derpy is still in there!" Fluttershy screamed as she went and tried to rush through the hole in the wall to stop him, but gets pulled back by the elite Colourless Guard. The Colourless Guard has a grudge on what is going on with Sabre, but can't quite pin point on what though.
Sabre... well, Shadow Sabre began using the Shadow Sword, summoning lightning, striking at the pegasus. Just as Shadow Sabre was about to destroy Derpy, Discord teleports in, stepping into the situation. The lightning which Shadow Sabre intended on being the finishing blows, Discord switched into balloons and fireworks.
"Huh!? Discord! She is corrupted! It's better off if we destroy her!" Discord knew something is wrong with Sabre, and snaps his fingers of his eagle hand, but does nothing. He even tries to snap the fingers on his lion paw, but that does nothing as well.
"You think you can do whatever you want whenever you want, don't you? No, you can't, you fool but, I will give credit to you Discord, as I will have to use full force! I will destroy Derpy-" All of a sudden, Hypno Steve steps in as well, summoning lightning as he appears. Using his ability to mess about with the minds, Hypno Steve tries to help Sabre regain control, but is unable to. Hypno Steve and Discord look at each other, and exchanged looks. Both could read each other's minds. They knew what they had to do. Both Hypno Steve and Discord look back at Sabre, and both use their mindscape abilities to help Sabre. Slowly, Shadow Sabre lost control. Just minutes later, Sabre regains control.
"Huh... what?" Sabre said to himself, confused, floating in the air, with Discord and Hypno Steve in the air.
"Sabrerere, youryour Shadowow regaineded control. But, onlyeyeye for a short moment. It's okay, you're back, fororor nowowoww," Hypno Steve explained. Sabre is now just even more confused. When Hypno Steve last spoke to him, he ranted on how much he despised him, and now he is very willingly helping him. But Sabre quickly remembers Madness Steve is here, and if Hypno Steve hates anyone more than him, it is Madness Steve. Meanwhile amidst the amount of shenanigans going on, Madness Steve was bursting out with laughter. He quite enjoyed what he was seeing. He then looks back at Derpy, barely alive from Sabre's attacks, but her eyes being laser focused on him. Madness Steve almost made a massive blunder, healing Derpy whilst she was still in control. Had he of done that, Derpy would've been not only healed, she ironically had more power than Madness Steve himself at the moment and with her in control, as well as the fact he took away Dinky, her daughter, not only once, but twice, Derpy would definitely be after for some vengeance. Derpy is a very very kind mare, who would deliver you mail in the end after several clumsy slip ups, who would give you free delicious muffins, and who's kindness is almost on par, if not, on par with Fluttershy. No matter what you do to did to Derpy, she would take it under the chin. However, if you dare harm her daughter she so dearly loves, if Derpy could, she would shred you to pieces with means that have no bounds.
"Okay, let's do the smart thing. No more messing about," Madness Steve said to himself. He first regains control of Derpy, then heals her. Madness Steve then tries to teleport away, but Discord prevents Madness Steve doing so. Madness Steve tries to teleport away again with lightning, but with each lightning strike, became pies falling from the sky.
"Ah ah ah. I don't think so... lava boy," Discord spoke with a goofy sounding voice as he gets slightly closer to Madness Steve.
"I would let me go if I were you!" Madness Steve angrily shouted.
"And if I don't, what will you do? You just came back, meaning you're at your weakest, and I can do whatever I want whenever I want with you, oh ho! Oh... how the tables have turned! The Lord of Chaos always get the last laugh, even against you oh ho!" Discord chuckled, falling onto his back, giggling away. However, he instantly stopped when Madness Steve responded. What Madness Steve responded with very quickly changed Discord's reaction to the situation.
"You see Fluttershy over there..." Madness Steve said loudly so Fluttershy could hear. Madness Steve looks dead straight at her, and his eyes glowed red, making the timid pegasus tremble and shake. Fluttershy slowly steps back behind the part of the wall isn't destroyed.
"When my power override yours again Discord, I will kill her, and bring her back, to kill her again. I will make each death be more painful for her than the last! Meanwhile, I will... make you watch... EVERY SINGLE DEATH OF HERS FOR AN ETERNITY!" Madness Steve shouted with so much spite and anger whilst giving the death stare at Discord. This made even the Lord of Chaos shake, even making him step a few steps back. He looks back at Fluttershy, and at Madness Steve. He does so several times. He has a choice, delay Madness Steve more, and have his dear Fluttershy literally be tortured, or let Madness Steve go and he'll for now leave Fluttershy alone. Discord looks down to the ground, and submits to Madness Steve's violently sharp threat.
"Fine, just leave, as long you don't hurt Fluttershy," Discord sighed. And leave Madness Steve did.
"Now I've got to hunt down where all the steves went, thanks to Sabre," Madness Steve growled to himself as he walks to Derpy, and summons lightning, but not to teleport away at first. He summons the lightning to take Light Steve's and Starlight's corpses into his sword. The mane 6 cried as they stupidly rush to Madness Steve, trying to get to his sword and get the 2 out and let them have at least a burial, but he isn't allowing that. Soon, both Madness Steve and Derpy had gone away, lightning being summoned as they left. They could only stare where Madness Steve was originally standing. Meanwhile, Sabre and Hypno Steve hovers back down to the ground.
"Thank you, Hypno and Discord. If it weren't for you two, Shadow- Shadow was about to destroy Derpy," Sabre said to them, grateful for their assistance.
"Lookokkk Sabrere, I'mimim not doing thisis for praiseseses, I do thisisis for my own reasonsnsns," Hypno Steve responded, then sighs.
"Derpy... Iyiyiyiy don'tnt know why butututwtwtwt, something tells me she is going to have an important role in the future. Can't figure out why though, which is mildly infuriating, especially with all the knowledgedgedge my mindmyminmymin harboursoursrsrs," Said Hypno Steve.
"So that's why you stepped in, huh? Either way, even though you still hate me for what happened, thank you, Hypn-" Hypno Steve then begins on his usual rants.
"Sabre, I told you destroying Madness Steve's False Form would do nothing and NOW look what happened. You lost more friends to Madness Steve's anger, boo hoo, boowowowo hoowowowowo! Ifififwfwf onlylyeyeye you couldouldld getetet thememwmwm back- *Sigh* None of this will matter, the day of reckoning has only been delayed. The end will come, and when itwtwt does, I will bewillbwillbwillb laughing atingatingatingat howowowww righthowrighhowrigh I waswaswaswswsws, because I foretold it! Continue what you all have to do, I'll come in again when things get interesting. Man, toying with you all is so much fun, ah ha HA HA ha ha HA HA harwahhhh!" Hypno Steve said as he summons lightning and teleports away.
"Why is there a lot of... red on that building?" Discord hesitantly asked. He knew what those red stains are, but he couldn't ask what exactly happened. He dreaded to know what happened.
"Light... and Starlight... you really don't want to know what happened..." Sabre murmured as he replied, turning around and looks to the floor.
"It was my fault... I teleported away and left Light and Starlight alone, then... then-"
"Sabre, it weren't your fault. You couldn't of known," The Elite Colourless Guard responded, sounding sympathetic.
"Light would want us to continue forward. He wouldn't want us to give up."
"Sabre..." Pinkie Pie murmured as she walks over to him. She's the first of the mane 6 to even say anything after what they just witnessed.
"You know that armour? If that took all the steves... what if Madness Steve is heading there-"
"Pinkie Pie, but I'm still unsure on how to use these abilities within the sword to the full extent. If I knew how, then I'd probably be able to find the Unnamed. But, I ca-" Discord tries to sense where all the steves went. He sat down on the ground, and puts both of his hands on his chest, then closes his eyes. A white aura appears around him briefly, disappearing after a few seconds. He opens his eyes and takes his hands off of his chest.
"Woah uh- Discord, what... are you doing?" Sabre asked, putting his hands under his blindfold, wiping his eyes.
"I know where the Unnamed is," Discord replied.
"If so, we have to go there. It's the least we can do. If Madness Steve gets to the Unnamed before we do... with literally every steve from this world- Oh no, if he gets there, he'll absorb EVERY STEVE FROM THE OVERWORLD! Oh no oh no oh no! Discord, take us there! Now-" Before Sabre finished exclaiming, Discord simply teleports to that location where the Unnamed is, well, as close as he can get.
