"LETMEGOLETMEGOLETMEGOLETMEGOOO!" a young silver pegasus colt shouted at high speed as he and a young orange pony filly were dragged by the scruff of their necks out of the bushes by Whirlwind Kawena.

"Wouldja shaddup already, Zippy? If this guy wanted ta hurt us, he woulda done it by now!" the filly told her friend. Realising she was right, the colt quietened down and stopped struggling. Whirlwind Striker landed next to the three, transforming back into his human form.

"If my friend lets go of you, will you promise not to run and to tell us who you are and why you were spying on us?" he asked. The two eavesdroppers nodded, the colt at significantly higher speed than the filly. Upon release, the colt shook himself off like a dog while the filly simply stretched her legs.

"Well... First of all, mah name's Renard Amour. Ah'm pretty sure that's French fer 'Foxxy Love', but don't EVAH call me that, 'kay? It jus' sounds so... Iffy." the filly said, shuddering. The colt spoke up next.

"Andmyname'sSonicBlurr!"

Whirlwind Kawena smiled sadly, remembering the older versions of these two friends.

"As fer WHY we was spyin' on ya, well... Tha thang is, we's tryin' ta find somepony by tha name of Whirlwin' Strikah. 'Cordin' ta a friend o' ours, this guy is pretty dang powerful." Renard explained.

"HewassenttoEarthviaaportalinEquestria,ourhome,eonsago." Sonic Blurr added. The younger Whirlwind's eyes bugged out.

"MY name's Whirlwind Striker... But I CAN'T be the one you're looking for, I'm human, besides which, I'm only six!" he said. Whirlwind Kawena stepped forward, putting a wing over his younger self's shoulder.

"Wrong. You only APPEAR human. You- I- WE are Equestrian." the time traveller said, fumbling over his words once more.

"There goes his syntax, out the window again." Nani joked quietly to David. Whirlwind Kawena continued his explanation.

"The whole human appearance thing is due to a spell. As for the age problem... Well, you're better off learning that from someone in Equestria." the older Whirlwind explained.

"So... I'm SUPPOSED to be like them? No wonder I couldn't find my birth family here." Whirlwind Striker said, scratching the back of his head. Sonic Blurr rolled his eyes.

"Givemeabreak! ThiskidCAN'Tbetheguywe'reafter! Theotherguy'smorelikelytobehim!" Sonic Blurr said. Renard smirked.

"Ya gotta admit, Zippy here has a point." she remarked, making the silver pegasus frown at her. Whirlwind Kawena smiled.

"Transform again." Whirlind Kawena instructed his younger self. Nodding, Whirlwind Striker closed his eyes and started breathing deeply. Within a couple of seconds, the child began glowing again. He became enveloped in a column of light as a pair of feathery wings spread out from his shoulders, a tail erupted his lower back, his hands and feet turned into hooves, his hair grew into a majestic mane, and his entire body changed from bipedal to quadrupedal once again. Once the light dissipated, Whirlwind Striker's pegasus form stood before the ponies, his clothing having disappeared once more during the transformation.

"BytheElementsOfHarmony..." Sonic Blurr said, eyes wide.

"Mm-MMM! Dang, boy; you's lookin' all kinds o' cool!" Renard said, smirking. Opening his eyes, Whirlwind Striker smirked smugly at the silver pegasus, and started strutting in place.

"Showoff... Butwhycanbothofyoubecomepegasai?" Sonic Blurr asked. The two Whirlwinds looked at each other.

"Long story short, he's me from an alternate future, one where that evil being we're all so concerned about has won." Whirlwind Striker said. Whirlwind Kawena shook his head and snorted dismissively.

"It hasn't won yet. This timeline hasn't gone through what mine did, so we still have a shot at stopping it." he said. Renard and Sonic Blurr gave each other a worried look.

"Butiftheevilonewon..." Sonic Blurr started.

"...Then ya'll nevah found its' countahpaht." Renard finished, biting her lip. Whirlwind Kawena sighed sadly.

"Actually... We did. However, the rat ba- I mean... the evil freak that's tryin' to take over found it before we did. All that was left of its' counterpart was the telltale signs of de-atomisation." he said. Renard and Sonic Blurr looked at each other again and made a silent agreement with one another.

"Then we's gotta find it now befo' IT does. Follow us!" Renard said, dashing off. Sonic Blurr flew after her, his image blurring due to the speed at which he was flying. The two Whirlwinds gave each other a look and, with a flap of their wings, soared off after them.

"Wait for me!" Lilo shouted, flying off after them. Stitch, Angel, and Yami all looked at each other and ran after the group as well.

"Lilo, wait!" Nani shouted, but her sister, not to mention the others in the group that had run off, were already out of earshot.

(On the moon...)

Kaos Eklipse was staring out at the Earth from an observation point when his eyes flashed neon red.

"So... They seek to find my counterpart, do they? Interesting... Very interesting, indeed. The Chosen is among them, as is the one whose power drew me here. Well, then... If they so desire to find one of the keys to my defeat, then they shall have to face some... obstacles." the shadow pegasus said, chuckling darkly.

(A/N: What's Eklipse talking about? You'll have to see next time, when our heroes go to Equestria!)
