"Assistant Steve did it- M and you Celestia and Luna did it- We all did it! We barely got out of that," Sabre said as he breathes deeply, calming himself down.

"Oh! My! Gosh!" M exclaimed.

"That... was uncomfortably close!" Time Steve also exclaimed.

"You don't say sugarcube," Applejack responded to Time Steve, also calming down from that close call, never being so close to death itself.

"But... the kingdom... it's destroyed..." M spoke slowly, looking at the destroyed kingdom around him, one that he was going to lead. Now, it's virtually destroyed. Sabre then looks at Time Steve and asks him something.

"Time... you uh... you don't happen to have that armour and sword, when we uh... fought Madness still, do you?"

"No I don't think so- Wait, it might be somewhere in my dimension. Hang on, let me check," Time Steve replied, summoning lightning as he teleports to his dimension.

"Okay while we wait for Time Steve- Is everyone okay here?" Sabre asked, turning over to everyone else.

"Other than the fact that Madness had practically destroyed this kingdom- Yes I am fine!" M responded, snapping slightly in his reply. He then apologizes to Sabre.

"Sorry, it's just seeing the kingdom like this- I always wanted adventure, but I never imagined it would be like this!"

"Yeah I told you before M... that not all adventures would be all good. But what matters is that, we all have each other," Sabre responded back to M. Then, lightning strikes again, and Time Steve comes back with his sword and set of armour he used when he, Sabre and Elemental Steve fought Madness Steve.

"Right uh... bipoty bopoty bop... and... vuala!" Time Steve said as he uses his time abilities and Madness Steve's essence in his sword to reverse the entire state of the Red Kingdom back in time before anything happened, lightning striking on every destroyed building as he did.

"Simples."

"Wow uh... that seemed- That seemed way to easy easy man! You sure everything is all good?" Sabre asked Time Steve.

"Yes, I also reversed the houses that Madness flung from Equestria to here back too," Time Steve replied.

"Okay... if you say so Time. Huh, that seemed way too easy still," Sabre responded.

"Wait uh... so, you know that armour Sabre, how long were we actually in there?" Rainbow Dash asked out of nowhere.

"Oh that... um, about two days. In that time, I looked to see who was about... and that's when I met Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo. They've been a great help," Sabre explained.

"I hope you three have behaved for Sabre," Rainbow Dash firmly said, looking at the CMC.

"They've been good, don't worry about it," Sabre responded.

"Yeah, we were nervous of him at first, but he's awesome. As... scary all this is, this is quite an adventure I must say," Said Scootaloo, adding onto Scootaloo.

"Also, how did Hypno Steve and Derpy end up in the armour too?" Twilight asked Sabre.

"Oh... so basically uh- Hypno hijacked control of Derpy from Madness Steve, so he could save M... selfishly. He didn't think about anybody else other than M. But M *Sabre turns to face M* don't feel bad about it. It means he still really cares about you," Sabre explained.

"Eh- It's alright," M responded.

"Ah, there you all are! Hello, you morons, except for you Red Apprentice, you aren't a moron as your knowledge isn't subpar, like the rest here," Assistant Steve greeted as he walks up the path to where everyone is.

"Hey at least we have feelings unlike you!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed, insulting the robot.

"Was that meant to be an insult? You are right, I don't have feelings such as you, and I don't take offence," Assistant Steve responded.

"I very much preferred it when Assistant Steve was switched off," Said Sweetie Belle.

"I one hundred percent agree darling," Rarity responded whispering to her smaller sister.

"May I remind you that I can still hear you," Assistant Steve stated.

"Okay everyone- I know we are one massive group, but we've got some things cut out for us," Sabre stated, before saying what needs to be done.

"We are all a big group, and the Red Kingdom is basically the safest place for all of us right now- The armour still has basically everyone from every reality- Plus, Derpy is still out there, and we have to get her back."

"How do you suggest we do that? Derpy could literally be anywhere!" Dark Steve asked Sabre.

"Remember when we used the Rainbow Hub, how we got Derpy come to us so Hypno could take control? Yeah, that," Sabre replied.

"I'm sorry but- The Rainbow Hub!?" Time Steve exclaimed.

"Yes, with the help of Sabre, Dark Steve, the Red Leader and the First Curse, we've reactivated the hub," Assistant Steve explained to Time Steve.

"I... didn't watch some of the events," Time Steve stated.

"Wait- The thing also known as the Unnamed, down in that cave?" Pinkie Pie responded.

"Hang on, the Unnamed has been helping you?" Rainbow Dash questioned Sabre.

"Yeah, he also gave us an extra one of these... books. Without the Unnamed... or First Curse- Whatever you want to call him, we'd of all been in trouble- It doesn't matter. What we need to do now, is that we know how to uncorrupt someone from that... essence, and Derpy is still corrupted. We have to get her back before Madness does- I don't know, hurt her further!? She's been through enough as it is! We have to get her back," Sabre explained.

"Before you go, do you still have any bottles with Madness Steve's essence?" Assistant Steve asked.

"Uh... I have four left, why?" Sabre questioned the robot.

"I need all four, to use in the towers. These towers alone won't be enough to stop Madness teleporting back, should he choose to do so, which I've calculated to be... very likely. I will also need three of you to help me, so it can be done as soon as," Assistant Steve stated. With that, Sabre gave the 4 remaining bottles of Madness Steve's essence over to Assistant Steve, who then picks them up.

"Actually, wouldn't it be simpler if only me and Time Steve go?" Sabre pointed out.

"Hmm... that is true, Sabre. It would be simpler, if everyone else stays and help me with a few things, while you, and Time Steve, go ahead to uncorrupt Derpy. It would also decrease the likelihood of Madness Steve detecting you whilst attempting to do so," Assistant Steve replied.

"So, to the Rainbow Hub, I guess?" Time Steve asked as he looks to Sabre.

"Yeah, take us there, Time," Sabre replied. Time Steve nodded as he silently teleports himself and Sabre to the Rainbow Hub.

Sabre and Time Steve are now at the Rainbow Hub, underneath the roof of the stand in the centre of the hub. The 8 portals are still activated, but the areas the First Curse made into nothing, are back to how they were.

"Seeing this place back in running order is kinda nostalgic. Reminds me of the times when things were so much... simpler," Time Steve stated, looking at each of the portals, all of them being activated.

"Yeah, not when two different realities meeting- I mean, these ponies, they're super kind man, and I'm glad to have met them. It's a shame we only met them, because of what Madness Steve has been doing. When Madness has been dealt with, maybe we should just plan a day out, and hang out with them, just chill. What do you say about that Time, hanging out with the ponies?" Sabre responded.

"Yeah, I like the sound of that. If only Rainbow was here- Not Rainbow Dash, I mean as in... Rainbow Steve... that Rainbow. He would definitely get on with them if he were still here," Time Steve replied.

"Yeah, I bet he would. Also, don't worry, I've also got Rainbow Dash and Rainbow Steve mixed up. I mean, both their first names are Rainbow, so- We should actually stop reminiscing and actually do what we came here to do," Sabre stated.

"Yeah you're probably right. Okay, so, what do we do?" Time Steve asked Sabre.

"Okay, what I need you to do is... well, what I'm gonna do is that I'll bring Derpy to us, and once I do, I'll keep her in place. Then, what you need to do Time, is to reverse her state back in... ah heh, time. Then we should be good do go. Just be ready man okay," Sabre explained as he began striking lightning in each of the portals. He focuses on only one thing, Derpy. The pegasus then comes out one of the portals. She thought Madness Steve called her again. But then, she notices Sabre. However, Sabre immediately strikes Derpy with lightning, holding her in place after the lightning died down.

"TIME! NOW!" Sabre shouted at the top of his voice. Time Steve immediately ran over to Derpy and uses his full force, striking lightning as he began reversing Derpy's state back in time. Slowly, the corruption began to be reversed. Time Steve then puts in more force, summoning more lightning as he did.

"Time! Keep going! You're almost there dude!" Sabre cheered his friend on. After a minute, Time Steve stopped, and began crouching, while Derpy fell to the ground, all the corruption in her gone, her original appearance coming back.

"That... took a lot more energy than I expected," Said Time Steve, uncrouching again. Doing all that had exhausted Time Steve, but it was definitely worth it.

"Derpy? You there?" Sabre spoke calmly. The grey pegasus slowly got up, lifting her left forehoof, rubbing her head against it.

"Agh... my head..." Derpy moaned, losing her balance to her left. Sabre went to the left side and caught her.

"It's okay Derpy... it's alright. You're okay now, it's okay," Sabre said calmly before looking over to Time Steve.

"Uh, Time, take us to the Time Dimension, if you have the energy. Over there, Derpy can just have a moment or so to collect herself," Sabre suggested. Time Steve agreed and began teleporting himself, Sabre and Derpy to the Time Dimension, summoning lightning as he did.

As soon as Sabre, Time Steve and Derpy got in the Time Dimension, they went and sat on the dark oak slab steps to the left together, near where the portal is.

"My head really hurts..." Derpy kept repeating.

"Derpy, it's alright, just collect yourself," Sabre responded.

"Here, have a cookie," Time Steve offered as he tosses a cookie onto the floor for Derpy. Derpy shook her head and tosses the cookie back to Time Steve.

"No thank you... I don't deserve it anyways..." Derpy murmured.

"Derpy, you know none of this is on you, right?" Sabre asked.

"I... I still can't help feel like... a... a monster..." Derpy murmured in her reply.

"Derpy, none of this is your fault. He controlled you to make you do these things. It weren't you, we understand it wasn't actually you doing it," Time Steve stated.

"But... it was... I am a monster!" Derpy yelled.

"No you're not a monster! It wasn't your fault!" Sabre exclaimed.

"Yes it was my fault! I could have done more about it! He made me kill Starlight! He made me kill Light Steve! I've killed and trapped so many... SO MANY! HE EVEN MADE ME KILL DINKY! I AM A MONSTER!" Derpy cried loudly, pushing Sabre with both her forehooves before using them to cover her eyes. Sabre takes a few steps back from Derpy.

"Sabre, come over with me, give Derpy some space," Said Time Steve. With that, Sabre and Time Steve went over to the other side of the portal, where the Interdimensional TV is.

(A few minutes later)

"Man, I feel so awful for Derpy. Being controlled by Madness to destroy a lot of things, it- It kinda reminds me when... Shadow, when he had control of me, and all the steves he made me destroy," Said Sabre.

"I also feel bad for her, especially that this entire time without knowing... I could've uncorrupted Derpy, and Spike too... and maybe Starlight and Light may still be here as well," Time Steve responded.

"Time, we uh- Maybe we should check on Derpy. It's been a few minutes man, hopefully she's okay now," Sabre suggested.

"Yeah let's go check if she's alright," Time Steve agreed.

"Hey uh... Derpy, we've come to see if you're doing okay," Sabre said as he and Time Steve came back. Derpy given no response, crying to herself still.

"What is it? What do you want?" Derpy murmured.

"Look- It was Madness... it was Madness controlling you, Derpy. I know how... devastating it is to be controlled, and unable to do anything about it. I've been controlled before by darkness and... yeah, it sucked," Sabre said as he tries to relate with Derpy, putting his right hand gently on the back of the pegasus.

"Y- You d... y- You do?" Derpy stuttered, lifting her head up, uncovering her eyes from her forehooves, looking at Sabre.

"Yes, and I felt the same when I came back. Luckily, Time over here, he stood beside me, in the toughest of situations," Sabre replied, looking at his friend with a clock face as he mentioned his name, then looks back to Derpy.

"You've... not just got me and Time Steve, you have everypony- Everyone there for you too, Derpy."

"I don't know why I'm upset about this anyways..." Derpy murmured, looking down the floor.

"Hey, it's okay to be upset Derpy, it's okay. That's why we took you here, so you could just cool down and all that," Sabre explained.

"It's... not just that... something told me... something told me the end was coming..." Derpy murmured to Sabre as she slowly lifts her head up to look at Sabre.

"Please clarify," Time Steve requested. Derpy turns to look at Time Steve.

"This... thing... they... they told me so many things... I don't remember much what they said," Derpy replied.

"Did they have a single red eye by any chance?" Time Steve asked.

"Yes... but they didn't say their name... their voice was also so... echoey..." Derpy murmured.

"Look Derpy, what matters now is that you're now back. Plus, I- We know you couldn't help it, it wasn't your fault. I'm not mad at you- We're not mad at you, just know that. We took you here, so you could just have time to calm down. But now, we can take you to where everyone else is if you want," Said Sabre.

"Thanks... both of you, Sabre, and Time Steve," Derpy said as she got up. Part of the floor where she was sitting had changed to magma.

"Uhh..." Time Steve spoke as he looks at the floor that had partially turned to magma. He destroys that block and replaces it.

"Wait, Time? You did reverse her state, rriigghhtt?" Sabre questioned.

"So uh... Sabre, remember when I reversed Void's state back to being just a Blue Steve- Ah ha... ha... huh- Uhh... uhh..." Time Steve slowly replied, nervous laughter coming from him afterwards.

"Yes I do, but how does that have anything to do with this man!? Like, you reversed her state- Wait, Void... he kept his powers when you reverted his state back to just a Blue Steve, just that he lost his demon form and the immortality it gave him- Wait, are you saying that Derpy still has those powers!?" Sabre exclaimed.
