Cosmic remembers the time when she was a filly. It was the happiest day of her life as she was named the youngest scout for the Expedition Team that are sent to Equestria every 6 months, but she will be supervised by her parents while they head out. As they head out into the world, they decide to visit the grounds where the Crystal Empire used to be and will reappear one day. Seeing this excites Cosmic to the point it catches the attention of a Pony-Eating Yeti that was roaming around the area. Cosmic's Parents fight the Yeti in order to protect her only for her mother being torn apart in front of her eyes. Her father manages to drive it away, but not without being mortality wounded as he bleeds out profusely. Cosmic rushes to him, telling him not to leave her alone. He tells her the same thing Steel Flare tells Stardust as Cosmic's Father dies around her hooves.
Scene 30.0: Undiscovered West, Gran Brow – Underground Caverns, 2:38 AM, 40 Moons Ago
Cosmic wakes up with tears in her eyes as she dreamt of that tragic day. There she sees that she's in a very beautiful cave filled with shining crystals, glittering flowing water falling from the surface and much to her surprise, fruits by her side and her wing is bandaged with healing salve on it. At first she thought it was Goldie, Tia, Starry or even Stardust since they are the only ones that knows how to do this type of bandaging. Suddenly she sees Weiss in front of her and goes on the attack, only for him to pin her down with ease.
Weiss:
(Devious Chuckle & Smile)
If this is how you treat the one who saved you, I'm glad we are enemies.
Cosmic Legacy:
(Spiteful Smile)
You? Saving Me? I don't believe you. Why would you?
Weiss:
Believe what you will, but to answer your question, you saved me first. So you can say I am repaying my debt to you.
Cosmic Legacy:
(Doubtful)
You don't say.
Weiss:
(Smart-Alecky Attitude)
That and I think you are kind of cute.
Cosmic, annoyed by that, gives Weiss a smug smile as she tries to hard kick him in the groin only phase out of it.
Weiss:
(Laughing)
You aren't the first to try that and I know you won't be the last.
Cosmic Legacy:
How did you do that?
Weiss:
I'm a Windigo. I'm technically Part Ghost, Part Yeti.
Cosmic Legacy:
(Murderous Glare, Punches Through Wall Next To Weiss)
...…
Weiss:
(Surprised Yet Unphased)
...…
Cosmic Legacy:
(Murderous Magical Aura)
Never…Ever…Say…Yeti…To…Me…Again…
Weiss:
(Hiding Fear Behind Cocky Attitude, Amused Shrug)
What ever you say, Prin~cess.
(Thinking, Spooked)
HOOO!!! WHAT THE ACTUAL TARTARUS WAS THAT!? SHE WAS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT MARE!!!
Cosmic calms down and start eating the fruit Weiss gave her as he sits by her side which is annoying her greatly. She moves a little away from him, but he scotches over to her; she moves away from him again and he scotches over to her as well. This starts to get on her nerves and glares at Weiss again, only this time is more annoyed glare than a murderous one.
Cosmic Legacy:
What are you doing?
Weiss:
Nothing. Just curious.
Cosmic Legacy:
Tell me the real truth. Repaying me for saving you isn't your real reason for you saving me.
Weiss:
Why do you doubt that? Please explain it to me on why that is not true.
Cosmic Legacy:
Stardust just ended your brother. Normally you would want revenge for something like that.
Weiss:
That makes sense…but one problem with that assumption.
Cosmic Legacy:
And that is?
Weiss:
(Devious Smile)
I'm not in love with him. That would be weird and immoral, don't you think?
Cosmic Legacy:
(Blushing, Surprised)
WAIT, WHAT!?
Weiss:
(Laughing)
You thought that all those times I was flirting with you was so I could take advantage of you? News Flash: that was part of it I'm not going to lie. The truth is I fell in love with you at first sight.
Cosmic Legacy:
Wait, What!? Why would you fall for me? For one, I'm your enemy since I am connected to the Element of Life. Then I am also responsible partially responsible for your brother's death. We have been at each other's throat since we first met. So why?
Weiss:
Promise you won't snap at me if I say that "Word" again?
Cosmic Legacy:
(Annoyed Sigh)
I'll try.
Weiss:
I told you I'm part this and that, right?
Cosmic Legacy:
Yes…
Weiss:
When we first met…for some reason I smelled something similar to my scent. Did something happened I should know involving that type of creature with you?
Cosmic Legacy:
(Murderous Glare, Demonic Magical Aura)
...…
Weiss:
Or you could just forget I even asked.
Cosmic's demonic glare starts to make Weiss uncomfortable as he looks away, but just then he felt her emotions from being too dark shift greatly to a deep sorrow. As soon as he sensed that, he looks at her again and sees her crying her eyes out. The intensity of her sadness pierced him so hard that even he starts to cry as he starts to hug her and lets her cry on him.

Scene 30.1: Ponyville, Scootaloo-Lofty-Holiday's Home, 10:10 AM, Day 40 of 365
Wendy couldn't believe to hear that's how her parents met and what happened to her own grandparents that she stars to cry profusely. Meanwhile Shadow is just as torn that Scootaloo is surprised to see this side of him that she now believes she has him figured out. After Wendy calms down (And So Does Shadow As Scootaloo Notices), Scootaloo continues with the story.
Scootaloo:
Are you alright?
Wendy:
(Saddened)
Grandpa…Grandma…Mama…Papa…
Scootaloo:
(Saddened)
Your family really had it rough…Both of your family tree…
Shadow:
(Hiding Deep Sorrow Behind Casual Demeanor)
I'm used to it.
Auntie Holiday, Auntie Lofty:
(Saddened, Thinking)
Shadow…
Scootaloo:
Both your parents started to befriend one another since. About an hour later when she started to feel better, they both started to move through the cave system in order to reunite Cosmic with the others. As they helped each other through thick and thin, they headed to the surface, but as they did, they became really close that they fell in love.
Wendy:
(Sad Yet Happy Smile)
Mama…Papa…
Scootaloo:
(Thinking)
Although they were really acting very Tsundere throughout the whole ordeal, but I can't tell Wendy that now that she's a little too emotional after hearing all of this. It was really kind of cute.
(Out Loud)
Once they made it to the surface, Cosmic manage to reunite herself with Stardust and the others, but Weiss skipped out as soon as he sensed Stardust and the others nearby, which made your mom sad but she understood why he bailed like that. Much to her surprise, Cosmic saw that Stardust is more injured than last time and Starry wasn't with them.
Wendy:
(Worried)
Why? Why wasn't Big Sis with them?
Scootaloo:
She…decided to join Trotter…
Wendy:
(Saddened, Furious)
YOUR LYING!!! BIG SIS…BIG SIS WOULD NEVER HELP TROTTER!!!
Shadow:
But she did…
Wendy:
(About To Cry)
Ani…Not you too…
Shadow:
…she did so to get close to Spitfire and save her under the guise of accepting her reason for being as Trotter's Necro Seed.
Wendy:
(Surprised, Happy Smile)
Ani…!
Shadow:
(Warm Smile)
You know Starry is not the type to betray my mom or the others.
Wendy:
Yeah…
Scootaloo:
By the time they got reunited, Cosmic started to heal Stardust as she openly cursed and says how much she hated Starry for betraying them and finding out that she was the Necro Seed that killed Steel Fire, but Cosmic slaps Stardust for saying such things as she breaks down in tears after everything that has happened and scolds Stardust for it by telling her everything even to what happened to her own parents; she tell her how much she despises Yetis for what happened, but she isn't going around the Arctic North hunting down Yetis like a maniac to get revenge for what happened to her and her parents. Cosmic even asks Stardust if said betrayal felt out of place and then Stardust realizes that the way Starry turned her back on them did feel strange and bizarre; what really felt out of place for Cosmic was Stardust's reply.
Wendy:
What did she say?
Scootaloo:
(Warm Smile)
That sneaky little doppelganger…she was even crying when she said it.
Wendy:
I knew it. Big Sis is the greatest!
Shadow:
(Proud Smile)
...…
Scootaloo:
From then on, Stardust started to see Starry as her daughter rather than her clone and promised to rescue her and Spitfire both. She promised herself that once it was all over, she and Starry would do everything together like Mother and Daughter should. After Cosmic healed Stardust, they all head to La Ruina also known as Ferghana De Lumina. There they find the portal to the World That Never Was located in the Throne Room. They enter it and find themselves in a weird and scary city made of steel and glass where the sky is perpetually night time with a scary black hole in the shape of the sun…
***
Phase 1:
Vs. The Poisonia Regime
Scene 30.2: The World That Never Was – Main City, 5:18 AM
As soon as they arrive in that alternate dimension, Stardust and the others are ambushed by Trotter, Xuĕ and much to Cosmic's sadness, Weiss as he doesn't seem too emotionally torn as Cosmic herself. Meanwhile Stardust notices Starry by Trotters side and just like Weiss, she doesn't seem torn upon seeing those she once bonded and now on opposite sides, but Stardust doesn't react emotionally, but instead with a furious glare at the Hag of Raddos that her son, Platinum Shadow will inherit in the distant future; an expression Trotter has downright despised for all of her life.
Trotter Poisonia:
(Evil Smug Smile)
Hooo! Now that is a good look for you just like your mother before you as well as your grandmother and so on and so forth. The look of disgust and contempt towards your enemies is always such a beautiful thing to see. Especially when it is directed at me before I snuff the life from your eyes. Still…Now that your clone has returned to me, the Element of Life will be mine to wield. Life and Death working together to subjugate all around me so I can rule them with an iron hoof.
Stardust Memory:
...…
Trotter Poisonia:
Cat got you tongue, child? I don't blame you since you are about to die.
Stardust Memory:
(Small Chuckle Escalates Slowly To Uncontrollable Laughter)
Trotter Poisonia:
Ara ~ Ara. Looks like you also lost your sanity. Do not worry. When you die, I'll make sure it does not hurt…Much.
Stardust Memory:
(Smug Smile)
Tut! You are misreading the situation.
Trotter Poisonia:
(Annoyed)
How so?
Without any warning, the entire area is engulfed in explosions as Stardust charges at Trotter amid the confusion of all of the fireworks created by Weiss and Starry as they attack the Windigos behind their backs and Stardust managing to bop a hard one to Trotter (That it looked like when Goku used Super God Fist On Beerus). While the Windigos focus on Cosmic and the others, Weiss winks at Cosmic which annoys her yet at the same time makes her happy that Weiss hasn't betrayed her like this while they all are fighting. Infuriated by this, Xuĕ starts attacking not only her enemies, but her traitorous younger brother. Trotter escapes to the large cyber-like tower located in the center of the dimension; once inside, she enters the core of the castle which is being powered by a large black heart pulsating like that of a demon. Knowing that things are not being favorable on her end, Trotter decides to fused with the heart and do what she wanted to avoid from the very beginning before reattaining her youth and obtaining ultimate power like the Element of Life: Merge the Realm of the Living with the Realm of the Dead; because in doing so would resurrect the Greatest Evil that has ever walked on Equestria and Beyond: Grogar.
After defeating all of the Windigos, Xuĕ is all alone facing off against Stardust and her allies. Before Xuĕ could be defeated, a massive earthquake is felt which signals that Trotter accomplished merging with the core of her castle, transforming it into an Undead Cybernetic Dragon and in doing so, the skies of not only that dimension, but Equestria are covered with black cracks as great balls of fires starts to fall all over the world from those cracks.
Phase 2:
Vs. Cyber Necro Bahamut
The large Undead Dragon starts blasting black hyper beams at Stardust and the others, destroying the ground they are standing on and transforming the entire dimension into a space of nothingness filled wit debris of buildings, forcing Goldie and Tia with Starry and Spitfire to take cover on the remains of a floating building with Specter protecting them as Stardust, Cosmic and Weiss faces off against Trotter's new Undead Avatar. Cosmic told Stardust the greatest secret of the Elements of Harmony: Virtuous Awakening. Stardust, now grown up with all of the experiences she went through that day: Be Responsible For Your Actions, Fight For Your Love Ones, Protect Those That Can't Protect Themselves, Honor The Memories Of Those That Are Gone and Always Protect The Lives Of The Next Generation. As soon as she visualizes and embraces all of this, her body starts to glow brightly with the power of Life as Stardust's body is covered in a celestial armor similar to a holy knight as the armor she is wearing looks like it's made of glass and well decorated as well as spiky complete with a very large sword bigger than her own body: "The Sword of Harmony" once known as "The Sword of Perfect Virtue" during the Great Alicorn Civil War of Arcadia as she wields it with her mind. Another feature of this awakening is transforming Stardust into an Alicorn until the form powers down as tears run down her cheeks as she remembers her Foster Father, Steel Fire as she goes on the assault with Cosmic and Weiss alongside her.
When Stardust manages to cut the Necro Dragon with the Sword of Harmony, it causes a great amount of pain to it that it opens its multiple eyes all over its body and fires black hyper beams of all around to shoot down its enemies. The Necro Dragon charges its ultimate attack: Zettaflare and its aiming it at the core of the World That Never Was in order to forcibly merge the Realm of both The Living and The Dead instantly. Cosmic tells Stardust it will take 5 Minutes for Necro Bahamut to fire Zettaflare and merge the realms, but the Element can stop it if she uses 100% of its power and pierce the core with the Sword of Harmony, but in doing so the Element will go dormant for a full generation. After hearing that, Stardust knows that if the Crystal Empire returns before then, she will never be able to defeat Sombra on her own; but saving the world from Trotter's Evil now is far more important than any future plans later. Stardust channels all of the power the element has and charges at the Necro Dragon, piercing through its hardened steel scales, finding herself inside of it while both Cosmic and Weiss distract it from the outside.
Within the smelly and disgusting insides of Trotter's Undead Avatar, Stardust is ambushed by the Necron's Flesh-Eating Black Cells as she flies up to the core in order to avoid fighting them. As Cosmic and Weiss attacks the monster from all angles in order to delay its Zettaflare Charge, they do so by destroying every eyeball that pop up on the body of the Necro Dragon. For over 4 minutes, the battle was getting harder and harder as time is running out. Desperately, Cosmic charges the beast only to be swatted out of the air like a bothersome fly, reopening the wound on her injured wing. As she is about to get crushed by the Necro Dragon's Claw, Weiss jumps in to protect her, but struggles to hold the monster's claw. Once the time limit is about to end for the Zettaflare, the Necro Dragon gives an unholy roar and fearing it was all over, the Necro Dragon starts decay, melt and shooting black lasers out of its body as it appears it is about to explode. Stardust burst out of it: injured, bleeding, her armor heavily damaged and almost exhausted, uses all the power she has left to finally destroy the Necro Dragon as she scream "Divine Vita Cannon" to fire a beam blast big enough to engulf the Undead Dragon as she bellows when charging it and yells after firing it with a resounding "HAAAAAA!!!".
As soon as it was over, Stardust falls next to both Cosmic and Weiss completely exhausted as Goldie, Tia, Spitfire, Specter and Starry rushes to them to celebrate their victory. However before they have a chance to hug it out, a beam of pure darkness shoots out into the air from the destroyed location of where the Necro Dragon stood.
Stardust Memory:
(Shocked, Scared, Weakened)
Cosmic! Tia! What…what is that…!?
Cosmic Legacy:
(Shocked)
I don't believe it! Even though we stopped Trotter's Necro Bahamut, the merger is still going! Why? Why is that?
Starry Night:
(Saddened)
It's because of me.
Tia:
What do you mean by that, Starry?
Starry Night:
My essence was made from Necro Bahamut. It's a fail-safe that Trotter set up. She knew if Necro Bahamut was destroyed, then the merger would stop and her own death would be in vain; so in order to make sure it didn't…she created me as a last resort. The only was to stop the merger now…is for me to…
Stardust Memory:
(Furious)
SHUT UP!!! I DON'T BELIEVE YOU!!! THERE HAS TO BE ANOTHER WAY!!!
Starry Night:
(Shakes Head, Sad Smile)
No…there isn't, I'm sorry.
Stardust Memory:
(Furious, Crying)
Stop it! Stop acting that the only way to save everything and everyone is to martyr yourself! You were born JUST TODAY!!! YOU CAN'T DO THIS!!! As your mother…I forbid you to do this!!!
Starry Night:
(Surprised)
Mo…ther…
Stardust Memory:
(Crying)
You might have been created to be a weapon, but that doesn't change the fact that you came out of me…in a way I gave birth to you…I gave you your name…I cared for you…if you are my clone as she said, then that makes you my daughter in a lot of ways! And since I'm not a weapon, then neither are you! So, please…don't do this.
Starry Night:
...…
Stardust Memory:
Even though it was just less than a day…I raised you! I taught you all about responsibility for your actions…we laughed together…we argued with each other…we cried and suffered all this time…I lost my parents because of that horrible wretch!
(Sobbing)
I DON'T WANT TO LOSE YOU TOO!!! PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME!!! I BEG OF YOU!!!
Starry Night:
But I betrayed you.
Stardust Memory:
I know the truth! You did that so you could fool Trotter and save Spitfire. Cosmic told me that…"To fool your enemies you have to fool your friends". That's why I forgive you and I want to thank you by living together with me as my daughter. I will give you everything you need…you will have friends you will be happy with…I want to see you grow up to be yourself…I want you to fall in love and have foals of your own…I want to see you have a happy life…if you do this—
Starry Night:
…Everyone will live. Didn't Grandpa taught you to be responsible and take accountability for you actions? Stopping me from doing this is so selfish…you are dooming the world just to save me.
Stardust Memory:
Let me ask you…there is a fork on the train-tracks. On one side there is 1 pony tied to it while on the other track, there are 5 more ponies tied up. Lastly there is a lever right in the middle of the tracks and there is a speeding train about to get there to run either of them over. You need to save them, but you can't save all of them. Which side do you pull the lever? Left or Right?
Starry Night:
I choose the third option: I don't pull the lever at all.
Everypony:
!?
Starry Night:
The reason for that is…How do I know the train will go through either track? Me pulling the lever might actually cause any death than if I don't actually pull it at all. Sometimes doing nothing can save lives, but…this isn't it. Tia…I know your secret.
Tia:
(Shocked)
...…
Starry Night:
Can you grant me one last wish? Please…look after Mama for me.
Stardust Memory:
You…you…YOU FOOL!!! I WON'T FORGIVE YOU FOR THIS!!!
Starry Night:
As your clone…I inherited your memories and experiences…so yes, I am a fool because as your daughter, I inherited your foolishness; but…I was created to replace you. If I don't do this, one day…I will commit Patricide and replace you as the new Element of Life and since I am a perfect replica of you…the element will not tell the difference between us the moment it happens…I don't want that to happen. This…is my responsibility.
Stardust Memory:
(Avoiding Eye-Contact, Teary Eyes)
Then go! see if I care, you spoiled brat! I won't miss you at all. You were always a pain in the flank and I never wanted you around in the first place.
Starry Night:
(Sad Smile)
You all better leave this world. Once I go in, this reality will collapse. But it will reform in a few months. Stardust, I…I am a spoiled brat. But I will miss you because I really wanted to be with you too through the good, the bad and the ugly. So…I Love You Too…Goodbye…Mama…
At that moment Stardust stands up, but fall again due to the pain, unable to to stop Starry as she enters the dark beam, causing it and the World That Never Was to destabilize, forcing everyone to leave as Specter grabs Goldie, Tia and against her will, Stardust as they escape the collapsing dimension. Unknown to all of them, Trotter is already leaving the dimension as she is severely injured, in pain and bleeding; in order to make sure none of them escape, as soon as Trotter leaves The World That Never Was, she closes and destroys the exit behind her, locking everypony in there for their doom. But Starry, using the last of her power, creates a new exit for them to go through and this exit leads them back to Goldie's Cabin. Once they arrive, they see the reality exploding and collapsing as the portal starts to close. Stardust power through and tries to jump back in to save Starry, but the portal fully closes inches before touching it as Stardust falls into the ground rolling as she starts to sob uncontrollably thinking that is no more. Spitfire runs to her older sister and hugs her hard as Stardust hugs her back. Everypony is heartbroken at this turn of events, even Specter who has cast away his emotion, begins to feels sorrow at this very moment. Unknown to any of them, Starry's Soul managed to escape the dimension before it collapsed and finds its way to Stardust's Element of Life and merges with it. As soon as she felt her Element's Warmth, Stardust notices something different about it, she start laughing and crying that everyone start to worry about her until…
Stardust Memory:
When I get you a new body, you are grounded for your entire life, Young Lady.
Tia:
What do you mean by that, Stardust?
Cosmic Legacy:
(Sad Yet Happy Smile)
That little brat. She overheard me teaching Stardust about the Element. Her original body might be gone, but her soul is safe until she gets to be reincarnated. But…since the Element is dormant now…it will take a full generation before we can help her get a new body.
Stardust Memory:
I don't mind waiting. All I care that my Starry is still alive and well.
Cosmic Legacy:
Looks like my mission is half-complete. I found the Element, but it has gone back to dormancy. I'll come back to visit once it becomes active again.
Goldie Delicious:
This was an interesting adventure, but it's something I can't share with the family openly.
Tia:
(Addressing Specter & Weiss)
What will you both do? I can talk to Princess Celestia to grant you both amnesty.
Specter:
No. I believe I will wander the world for now on. I never expected I was missing out on the wonders of this world. It is high time I rectify that mistake.
Weiss:
And I am planning to follow my heart to a more prosperous future.
(Devious Smile At Cosmic)
Maybe falling in love and see what happens after that.
Cosmic Legacy:
(Tsundere Attitude)
Whatever! You can do what you like, see if I care!
Tia:
You and Stardust are very similar.
Cosmic Legacy:
(Proud Smile)
Of course we are! After all, we are cousins!
Stardust Memory:
No. We are not.
Everypony:
(Surprised)
Stardust Memory:
(Hugs Cosmic, Warm Smile)
We are sisters.
Cosmic Legacy:
(Crying, Happy Smile, Hugs Back)
Stardust…Thank you…
With all of that now over, Stardust and Spitfire visit the grave of their father before heading back home as Stormy Flare is in shock seeing them both getting home late and injured. They tell her everything including Steel Fire's Death which breaks her heart once she hears it but is proud that he passed away doing his duty in protecting his daughters. Tia, back in her royal chambers in Canterlot, undoes her illusion to return being Princess Celestia and places the memento of her adventure with everypony in her jewelry box. It's a beautiful Pink Sapphire that was given to her by Starry as she starts to cry remembering her as she compares her to Luna. Goldie writes down everything in her family's Secret Book: The Book of Eden as she cries while writing it down as she feels that she will never see everypony ever again especially Starry as a glittering emerald given to her by the filly is by her side. Specter begins traveling the world, hoping to see them all again one day. As for Cosmic, she returns to her village with Weiss following her as they act very Tsundere towards each other along the way.
As Cosmic returns to her village with Weiss, everypony in Shard has great distrust in him because he's a Windigo. However their love gave them the patience to endure the vitriol and attacks from the villagers, but after a few moons, Cosmic has had enough and left the village with Weiss. As they were thinking of going to Cloudsdale to live with Stardust and Spitfire, much to her shock she notices that the Crystal Empire has returned to Equestria. Fearing that the Royal Guard on the nearby station from Canterlot could be hurt by Sombra, they look around the area while at the same time, stay hidden from the evil unicorn. Cosmic is in despair as upon finding out that the Royal Guard is none other than Stardust herself. Cosmic and Weiss quickly hurries to take the morbidly injured Stardust to Shard as her injuries are too severe to take her anywhere and they can't go to the Crystal Empire without running into Sombra.
Upon arriving to the village, no one could believes what they are seeing when they look at Stardust as they compare her a the splitting image of their founder, The Previous Stardust Memory. They all feared that because of her injuries, Stardust wouldn't survive the night. However, the Element of Life starts to glow as Cosmic knows this must be Starry trying to keep her alive, but as time passed, everypony in the village believed that the reason she is still alive is because of her unborn foal and the Element is protecting it, but as soon it is born, Stardust will perish; but that didn't happen because is Starry, not the element keeping her alive as the element is still dormant after the battle against Necro Bahamut. After Shadow was born, Cosmic continued to live in the village until Stardust could get better and raises Shadow as her nephew. He nicknamed her Aunt Sparkly because of her eyes. During the day, she would spend time with Stardust who is suffering from amnesia and behaving more friendly and laid-back which is very odd to Cosmic as this is an 180 from how she once knew her which made her into a Byoukidere; Shadow and Stardust's Foster Daughter, Emerald Flash who everypony knew her as Emma. For over 9 Moons, everything was going on peacefully until Stardust approached Cosmic at the table after putting Shadow and Emma to bed.
Stardust Memory:
The kids are in bed.
Cosmic Legacy:
Those 2 are real sweethearts. I don't want them to be full grown. They are fine the way they are.
Stardust Memory:
You are right. I worry that Shadow will be a little worse than me when he meets Jack and start fighting with him like I did my own dad, Steel Fire.
Cosmic Legacy:
(Surprised)
What did you say!?
Stardust Memory:
(Smug Smile)
Wow. I know I was known as Star-Dud, but you really are a Cosmic Old Maid.
Cosmic hearing Stardust calling her "Cosmic Old Maid" realized that Stardust has regained her memory as Stardust would call her that because she would always lose playing "Old Maid". Cosmic starts to cry and hug Stardust, overjoyed that she finally regained her memories. They start talking on what happened after they parted ways and reconnecting fully as Stardust promises to tell Shadow everything one day. Cosmic wants to get Weiss and tell him everything, but as soon as Cosmic turns her back, Stardust knocks her out but before she loses consciousness, Cosmic asks why. When she wakes up, she sees that everyone is crying and when she finds out why, she breaks down too as she finds out that Stardust has passed away and both Shadow & Emma have left the village in search for his father.
Cosmic wonders why Stardust did this and how did she die, but manages to figure it all out as she sees that the Element of Life is no longer around her neck. Cosmic asks when it was removed and much to her shock, she finds out that Shadow was wearing it a few hours before Stardust collapsed in the middle of the village a few hours later after she has given it to him. Stardust had forfeited her life and Cosmic doesn't know why she did it and fears that she did this intentionally in order to force Shadow on a journey. But she's been out-cold for too long that Shadow and Emma are far away than she can't reach them. In her sorrow, Cosmic finally leaves the village for good and starts to live with Weiss away from the village and the rest of Equestria as the only reason for her to be more open with the world is gone. A few months later, Cosmic is pregnant with Wendy which fill her with great joy as she already chosen the name "Stardust Platinum" for her foal as she knows it will be born to look like her and Weiss. Specter arrives at their home after traveling for so long and decides to stay there for a while as they both welcome him with open hooves. Tragically, Xuĕ appears before her when she was alone while Specter and Weiss are looking for food for her. Xuĕ tries to crush her to death in her transformed self until both Weiss and Specter jumps in to save her. Furious for what her sister has done, Weiss follows after her and asks Specter to keep both Cosmic and Wendy safe. If he doesn't come back soon, that means he is already dead.
***
Wendy:
(Saddened, Glowing Golden Eye)
Mama…Papa…Big Sis…Aunt Stardust…
Shadow:
(Surprised, Saddened)
...…
Scootaloo:
That is all we know. I hope…you understand what they went through. Your parents were heroes. Along with Stardust, Starry, Specter, Goldie and Tia…none of us would be here now if it wasn't for all of them. At first they were going to save Spitfire, but everything escalated to saving the world after they all found out what was the real reason behind Starry's creation.
Shadow:
We don't need to worry about Trotter anymore. The New Pony of Shadows, Limbo got rid of her permanently.
Wendy:
Even so…I rather would have seen her in a deep dark dungeon for all eternity instead being killed off. Death doesn't solve anything. It only makes things worse. It would only create an even bigger circle of hatred that will destroy the world from the inside out. I hate Trotter for what she has done, but wanting her or even Aunt Xuĕ dead…is wrong and shouldn't be tolerated.
Shadow:
(Sad Yet Proud Smile)
Spoken like a True Element of Life.
Wendy:
(Sad Yet Proud Smile)
Thank you…Aniki.
At that moment, Scootaloo's jewelry-box appears in the room and as it opens, a Yellow Diary Crystal flies out of it and floats in front of Shadow. As he touches it, the Crystal starts to project itself without his consent and it teleports them all to inside a station located in the north where the Crystal Empire is supposed to be. On the bed is a Male Alicorn covered in bandages like a Mummy with golden eyes and looks around to see where is he. A mare enters the room, its a Full Grown and Mature Stardust wearing a Royal Armor, but the details of the armor reveals that she belongs to Celestia's Private Elite Guard as she hold a bowl of porridge to give him to eat.
Stardust Memory:
You are awake. Are you feeling well? I hope you are hungry, I made some porridge for you.
???:
(Slow Speaking Raspy Gollum-Like Voice)
Where…Am…I?
Stardust Memory:
Equestria Northern Station. I'm the caretaker, Stardust Memory. What's your name?
???:
I…No…Longer…Have…One…
Stardust Memory:
I noticed you no longer have a Cutie Mark either. Are you going to be alright?
???:
No…I…Am…Not…
Stardust Memory:
I'm sorry to hear that. I bet you are wondering how I found you?
???:
(Nods Slowly)
...…
Stardust Memory:
I was doing my patrol and then I smelled something odd. When I found you…
(Saddened)
…it was horrible. You were burned alive that I thought you were dead because your body was as black as the night. But I could sense a pulse when I checked your vitals. So I hurried back and healed you as best as I could.
???:
(Checking Injuries)
You…Healer?
Stardust Memory:
(Smiling)
Yes, I come from a family of healers…
(Sad Smile)
…Although I'm more of a fighter than a healer, but I do my best. But my healing skills is not as it used to be since…I lost 2 of my family members a few years back.
???:
My…Condolences…
Stardust Memory:
Thank you. Let me feed you since I don't think you can with your injuries.
Shadow is in shock as he is witnessing how his parents met with Scootaloo amazed on how beautiful Stardust has become as she looks like Celestia, Luna and Twilight except her colors, looks and is a Pegasus wearing that armor. The image shifts and shows Stardust arriving at the station excited and hoping to chat the Alicorn again, but when she knocks at his door, she doesn't get a reply which worries her to the point that she opens the door and sees that he isn't there, she calls him out, hoping he didn't leave as his wounds hasn't fully healed yet. She then sees a trail of bloodied bandages leading to a different room. She abruptly opens it and sees a handsome yet slightly muscular and well-endowed stallion taking a shower that her heart skips a beat upon seeing his face and recognizes that it is the Alicorn she saved because of his wings, horn and eye color, but as she sees the rest of his body, her own entire white platinum body turns red as a ruby as she suffers a nosebleed upon seeing "IT" that she slams the door behind her.
Stardust Memory:
(Ashamed, Extreme Deep Blush, Nervous, Nosebleed, Covering Face)
SORRY!! I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE TAKING A SHOWER!!!
???:
(Suave & Handsome Voice)
Don't worry about it. It was my mistake in not putting the "Occupied" Sign up.
Stardust Memory:
(Notices Occupied Sign Is Up, Switch It To Vacant)
Um…Yeah…It's really not up.
(Face-Hoof, Whispering, Switch It Back To Occupied)
I'm such a creep. Just own up to it, Stardust.
???:
Did you say something?
Stardust Memory:
(Out Loud)
You did put it up, but I was so worried that you were hurt or left, I wouldn't be there to help you, I was looking for you desperately I didn't noticed the sign.
???:
(Leaves The Bathroom, Smiling, Wearing Towel)
Don't blame you. I'd miss you too if I left abruptly like that.
Stardust Memory:
(Calms Down, Clears Throat)
You mean that?
???:
Yeah. You remind me of my childhood friend. So of course I'll miss you.
Stardust Memory:
(Blushing, Smiling)
Thanks…
(Annoyed)
…I still don't know what to call you.
???:
I really can't think of a name. Also…I don't want to be called "Platinum Shadow" because of my mane and coat colors.
Stardust Memory:
(About To Speak)
???:
(Annoyed)
And don't act like a smart-aleck and switch the name around by calling me "Shadow Platinum" because that name sounds really dumb spoken that way.
Stardust Memory, Shadow:
Yeah, you got a point right there.
Everypony is surprised that Shadow and Stardust spoke out in perfect sync at the Alicorn's comment that even Shadow couldn't believe it that he just keeps watching at what happens next. As time pass, they see that the Alicorn is very gifted at everything, that he can do things that it would take Stardust a little while before she gets it done that she is impressed and finds it alluring to meet someone that can do things better than her.
Stardust Memory:
(Blushing, Flirty Smile, Oujodere Demeanor)
You are really good with your hooves.
???:
Fighting in the war can teach you to be a "Jack-Of-All-Trade" on the fly. You need to be one in order to survive in that turbulent "Blight Terror".
Stardust Memory:
THAT'S IT!!!
???:
(Confused)
Did I missed something? What is it?
Stardust Memory:
(Excited)
I'm going to call you that from now on since you don't want to tell me your name! Jack-Of-All-Trades! Jack for short.
Jack-Of-All-Trades:
(Surprised)
Jack…
(Amused Scoff)
You are one funny girl, you know that? Alright! From now on my name is Jack.
As soon as they hear that, Auntie Holiday and Auntie Lofty is in shock to find out Jack is in reality an Alicorn as they look at Shadow wondering if he is an Alicorn to, only for him to reveal his true form to them as they are amazed on how he looks and see there are really father and son because of their appearance. Just then a letter arrives to the station in with the envelope having Stardust's Cutie Mark and The One Celestia Had when she was Tia. She reads it and starts to cry happily as she says: "Welcome Back, Lulu." as no one knows who Lulu is and Tia's True Identity is still unknown to Shadow and most who knows about his mom's story.
Jack-Of-All-Trades:
Are you alright?
Stardust Memory:
My best friend's younger sister just came back from abroad.
Jack-Of-All-Trades:
Are you sure that's it? You seem to be a little emotional.
Stardust Memory:
It's a long story.
Jack-Of-All-Trades:
(Lovely Smile)
When it comes to you, I have all the time in the world.
As Stardust is about to reveal Tia's secret, there's a time skip which irritates both Shadow and Scootaloo. The time skip takes a year later, Jack is in the kitchen making Stardust his specialty pancakes she loves even though he doesn't like pancakes as he likes waffle far more. Suddenly Stardust bursts in the kitchen in a foul mood after reading the new letter from Tia.
Jack-Of-All-Trades:
Are you alright, Star? You look a little miffed.
Stardust Memory:
(Annoyed)
Peeved is the right word to describe it actually.
Jack-Of-All-Trades:
(Worried)
Ooh! What happened to Tia? Or her sister?
Stardust Memory:
Nothing…but Tia's student and her friends were bullied and pranked by someone I had high hopes would be reformed. That's why I'm so ticked off right now. I know he could hear me every single time I sneaked out to talk to him and tell him my grievances. Like Spider-Stallion would often go to Bruce and talk to him about his problems. He knew that Bruce was only stone and could not talk back. The reason he would talk to Bruce was so that he could think out loud. But unlike Spider-Stallion, I knew that the jerk could listen to me. I really was hoping he would behave once he got out but…
Jack-Of-All-Trades:
Don't lose hope, Star. If you do, he'll go back being a jerk with no hope of reforming. I mean just look at me. You saved me when I believed I couldn't be saved.
Stardust Memory:
(Sad Stare At Orange Juice)
I hope…that he does change. I feel that he can do so much good. I'll write a letter to Tia and convince her to give him another chance.
Jack-Of-All-Trades:
Will she go for it?
Stardust Memory:
I hope so…for his sake. The last thing I want is to take action against him like I did Trotter.
Jack-Of-All-Trades:
Who?
Stardust Memory:
(Amused Giggle)
It's a long story.
Jack-Of-All-Trades:
When it comes to you, I have all the time in the world.
Stardust Memory:
(Amused Yet Flirty Smile)
Where have I heard that one before.
The Diary Crystal powers down when Stardust sees the return of the Crystal Empire and tell Jack she'll be back, but never did. Shadow grabs the Diary Crystal, says his good afternoon and leaves with a somber yet serious look on his face as everypony worries about him.
Scene 30.Final: Ponyville, CMC Treehouse, 9:30 AM, Day 41 of 365
Shadow arrives at the Treehouse for his lessons with the CMCs, but only for Shadow to experience Déjà Vu as the only one there is Scootaloo, but unlike last time, she's very happy and even humming which is very out of character for her since she rarely likes to sing.
Shadow:
Someone is in high spirits. Where is everyone else?
Scootaloo:
Apple Bloom with Rose at her school and Sweetie Belle is on a Friendship Mission…Possibly with her boyfriend.
Shadow:
(Surprised)
OooKaaay. Déjà Vu it is.
Scootaloo:
(Laughs)
It's weird, I know. I just sent Wendy to get something at Diamond Tiara's shop.
Shadow:
I noticed her leaving, but she didn't noticed me and she looked really happy as her blue eye is glowing.
Scootaloo:
Good thing I did because I need to talk to you in private.
Shadow:
About what?
Scootaloo:
Shadow…I found out your secret.
Shadow:
What secret?
Scootaloo:
After seeing how your mother was like and comparing her to you…Shadow…you are the most emotional pony there is. More so than Fluttershy and that's saying something.
Shadow:
(Amused Yet Annoyed Scoff)
You exaggerate. I always keep my emotions in check.
Scootaloo:
Most of the time, but that's because you know how to isolate them, but when push comes to shove, you get very emotional. I saw you many times you drop your cool ever since Wendy came to Ponyville. Luckily I see that all this time, nocreature has noticed how you truly behave when you snap. Your mom was like that too, but unlike her, you know how to stay in control. But just like her, when you snap, you go way overboard. Shadow…just admit it. I promise not to tell anycreature.
Shadow:
(Annoyed Sigh)
Fine. Let me ask you this: Is Discord's Magic Tied to his Emotions?
Scootaloo:
Yeah?
Shadow:
Discord is a Draconequus, but you know that I am an Alicorn and Alicorns can generate a lot of power if they are in-tune with their emotions. A few examples of this are Nightmare Moon, Princess Twilight and Flurry Heart. When their emotions are at their peak, their magic is at their most powerful. You must have witnessed that, haven't you?
Scootaloo:
Yeah, I have and after seen what you are capable of…I can understand why you are like this. But…You should be more open with those close to you…Like me.
Shadow:
(Sighs Followed By Warm Smile)
Alright…Anything for you…Sis.
Scootaloo:
(Surprised, Smiling)
Shadow…
Shadow:
(Hugs Scootaloo)
I'm sorry for being too much of a jerk to you.
Scootaloo:
(Hugs Back, Warm Smile)
So long as you understand and don't do it again.
Shadow:
(Smug Smile)
If you think I'll stop, You Crazy Girl!
(Laughing Out Loud)
Scootaloo:
(Hard Hoof To The Face, Furious)
YOU JERK!!!
Shadow:
(Hurt, Screaming In Pain)
Scootaloo:
(Annoyed)
Stop acting! I know that since you are an Alicorn, that didn't hurt at all.
Shadow:
I'm not faking! That actually hurt!
Scootaloo:
If that's true then how did I really hurt you?
Shadow:
Ane-Ue must have given you part of her power.
Scootaloo:
(Devious Smile)
Now that I think about it, yeah she did and if you don't behave, I'll bop you another one and it will hurt even worse!
Shadow:
(Spooked, Bowing Down)
I'LL BEHAVE! I'LL BEHAVE!! I'LL BEHAVE, SO PLEASE DON'T DO THAT AGAIN!!!
Scootaloo:
(Evil Smile)
Oh, I'm going to enjoy this!
Shadow:
(Thinking, Worried)
Oh, I'm going to regret this…
Episode Bonus:
Scootaloo's Update Letter To Princess Twilight Sparkle
"Dear Princess Twilight: Apple Bloom told me I should write a letter to you on what has happened to me, Shadow and my New Little Sister, Stardust Platinum which we all lovingly call Wendy. Just like Apple Bloom, I learned so much being around Shadow and Wendy. I'd go as far as to know Wendy's Family History, meanwhile Shadow's Family History is still a mystery to all of us. I was surprised to find out that I had a Diary Crystal on my jewelry box and I don't have jewelry in it except for some trinkets just to look more girly just to impress somepony, but that's neither here nor there. I never thought their parents had such rich life and history…but also had real attitudes in their youth that I found awesome and charismatic, but there's no way I condone their childish bad behavior when they get too full of themselves. But as adults…They are everything I want to be if I have a family of my own. I finally introduced Wendy to Rainbow Dash and she was Fangirling like crazy. Was I like that when I was her age? Please don't answer that in your reply letter! XD Anyways…Wendy and Shadow…Looks like the world is really out to get them & their family and I can see why. Life is so powerful that it can make anyone even more powerful than an Alicorn. I say that because Shadow's Mom, Stardust managed to take down a humongous undead dragon mostly on her own and Wendy's Mom, Cosmic taught her how to master the Element of Life. I never thought that 1 Element on its own could muster this much power. I heard from Luster that their Ancestor, The First Element of Life took into herself all of the elements, but she passed away once she used all of its power. You managed to take in so much power, but you must have taken what you are allowed to since you are still doing well. Their Ancestor went over the limit that her body couldn't handle the strain. I wonder…if Shadow is a Chaos Pony, can he survive it? From what I know from hanging around Discord is that Chaos Magic is limitless, but the only downside is that it destroys your sanity and there were times Discord did lose himself at times and you had to stop him. But I digress. I've been spending loads of time with Wendy, it feels awesome that I now know how Applejack, Rarity and Rainbow Dash felt when they raised us. OH!!! The Sisterhooves Social is coming up the next 2 months! I can participate with Wendy and Apple Bloom can join in with Rose. But…Sweetie Belle might feel left out since Rarity isn't around as much in Ponyville and she doesn't has somepony like me and Apple Bloom either. Maybe she could ask Shadow, but I only hope he doesn't go overboard like Big Mac did all those years ago. But…I'm scared, Twilight. After seeing Shadow and Wendy's Family History…I'm scared that something will happen to them. I'm scared that there are creatures who have great contempt towards the Element of Life that Monsters like Trotter and Xuĕ might come after them. Trotter might be gone, but Xuĕ is still out there. You Twilight, The Element of Friendship have your enemies, but most of them can be befriended with. But everycreature that despises the Element of Life are so full of evil, I don't think they can be reformed or even befriended and will not stop until they are…Sorry. I don't want to finish this sentence. From what Lysithea told me is something horrifying. If the Element of Life is destroyed and the Element Bearer dies, all of the Elements of Harmony will lose their power to the point that they will cease to exist. And…after seeing Cosmic's Story and Part of Stardust's…I think that is the truth. I really care for both of them, but Shadow is an adult so I can't hang around him without everycreature thinking we are a thing or something weird like that. So I'll stick with Wendy until she doesn't need me anymore. But Twilight…I hope we can make sure they stay safe as they are the last of their Family Tree. I will do the impossible to protect Wendy and I know you will find a way to keep him safe…Please. Your Friend and Disciple, Scootaloo."
Arc Epilogue:
Shadowfall
At Blight Terror's Cutie Map(?) Room, he is surrounded by his allies: Lady Imago, Pony of Shadows Limbo & Obsidian Jetstream Clyde by his side, General Volcanus with 2 of his Dragons, Jack-Of-All-Trades & his assistant, Juli as he calls her and 17 Cloaked Figures & all of them varying on different sizes and personalities, but all of them have something in common they are all wearing a necklace with a hollowed indentation in the shape of a heart.
Blight Terror:
It seems we are all here, but unfortunately this Cadre is still missing a few more members.
Volcanus:
(Annoyed)
How more of us you need to take out One Insignificant Alicorn!?
Blight Terror:
Underestimate the Element of Life at your peril, Volcanus. Trotter lost to them all of her life and with Platinum Shadow being the latest, myself as well as his father, Jack who is here right now knew that he was going to spare her and the cycle would resume. We just could not allow that to happen as she has failed for the past 2,000 Moons against the Element of Life. But you yourselves have either never encountered Platinum Shadow and his predecessors at all, met him and failed to defeat him once or twice and then we have those who knew him in a different reality and want to see him again. Then we have a few of you who are here for different reasons like revenge against Princess Twilight Sparkle and her Entourage.
??? (Female Voice):
(Maniacal Laughter)
Yes! I want him! I want Humdrum! I'll teach him what happens when he makes a fool out of me!
??? (Female Voice):
Rainbow Dash and the Wonderbolts are our targets. So stay away from them if you know what's good for ya!
??? (Male Voice):
I will drain every ounce of Twilight's Magic and even her Life-Force that I will mummify her once I am done with her.
??? (Female Voice):
That Changeling Krystal is Mine. I refuse to allow such a fool to become the Next Queen and when I'm done with her and that Traitor Thorax, you are next Imago.
??? (Female Voice):
Mine is my sister. You WILL keep your promise to me, Blight or so help me, I will burn you to ashes.
Blight Terror:
All of you keep your end of the bargain and there will be no problems whatsoever. Jack! Jewel! Report your progress on the Black Heart Crystal.
Jack-Of-All-Trades:
(Activates Hologram On Cutie Map(?) Table)
As you can see we are progressing smoothly. We finished the Alpha Build and used the Archetype Crystal when we gave it to Trotter as it produce some interesting results.
Jewel:
As you can see, the data your son, Limbo managed to collect, we managed to make improvements on the original blueprints and we are now about to start the Beta Test on them. We would have used our first Beta Crystal on Xuĕ, but since you want to recruit her, we can't risk in damaging her if the Crystal acts like a poison.
Lady Imago:
(Pleased Smile)
Thank you for your report and consideration.
Jack-Of-All-Trades, Jewel:
(Bows)
You honor us with you words, Lady Imago. Thank you.
Blight Terror:
You may return to your laboratory, you two. I will inform you both on more details later.
Jack-Of-All-Trades, Jewel:
By Your Command.
As they leave, everycreature there is disgusted that Jack and Jewel are even there to begin with and that they know what Blight has planned for Shadow.
Volcanus:
Are you sure we should trust them? He's the runt's father. They might betray us if we cross a line he will feel uncomfortable with.
Blight Terror:
(Evil Smile)
Oh! He is far more aware than you think and he knows my endgame.
??? (Male Voice):
Are sure that is a good idea? He might pull something under your nose.
Blight Terror:
Just like me, Jack is an Ancient. A Survivor of the Great Alicorn Civil War of Arcadia that almost ended all life in the world, but thanks to his beloved, the Very First Element of Life, The world was restored but at the cost of her own life. Jack managed to survive the war by being forcibly transported into the Chaotic Void that burned his entire body in black fire. But the area of the void he was sent was an area that is considered deadly by the denizens of the Chaotic Void and those who has entered there, would never leave there either alive or barely alive. Jack is the only one who managed to leave there barely alive and it's all thanks to Rainbow Dash and her very first Sonic Rainboom.
??? (Female Voice):
The same one that gave Twilight and her friends their Cutie Marks?
Blight Terror:
Indeed. That Sonic Rainboom was charged with so much energy, it destabilized the section of the void Jack was about to die in and it set him free. He wasn't set free instantly though, but it was enough for him to meet Stardust Memory as soon as he saw the crack between realities. Ever since then, every single time Rainbow Dash performs a Sonic Rainboom, Jack, the Obsidian Jetstream, Limbo and myself grew in power.
??? (Female Voice):
That doesn't make sense! If you are from the Void, how can A Sonic Rainboom that is filled with so much harmony magic, empower you that much?
Blight Terror:
(Evil Smile)
You would be surprise if you knew. Let's just say…Positive energy can be use in so many ways, it is criminal. But that does not matter. No matter how powerful Jack or…all of you become, even with the help of a Black Heart Crystal, my power will still be too great for I have access to the Mother Crystal which is linked to my Life-Force. So do not test me.
Everycreature:
...…
Blight Terror:
I can sense that you are all annoyed of this by this revelation. No matter. I need a volunteer for the next surveillance mission on Platinum Shadow.
??? (Male Voice):
Isn't Limbo and the Obsidian Jetstream in-charge of it?
Blight Terror:
The Obsidian Jetstream needs to maintain his cover within SMILE and Limbo has to return to his duties before someone finds out his secret. So I need one of you to do so, but beware. I need you for when we start the game against Princess Twilight Sparkle and Platinum Shadow. So I need you to stay as low profile as possible.
??? (Male Changeling):
(Raspy Voice)
I Will!
A Unique Looking Changeling Steps Forward which Lady Imago looks with distrust and concern, but Blight smiles evilly upon seeing him as he knows who he is. This Changeling looks exactly like Thorax before he evolved into the metamorphic changelings are now with his Shiny Wings, but his colors are similar to Lady Imago with bright red eyes & wings, deep crimson red back armor and black body; but his hooves, wings and tail don't have the holes that the Renegade Changelings all possess which makes him and Lady Imago the only Renegades with no holes on their hooves, wings and tail. But what makes him stand out the most is his stature as he is the Shortest Changeling in the world.
Blight Terror:
And you are?
Elric:
(Cocky Smile)
I'm Elric and I have been aching to have a go at this. Beside, Limbo has had too much fun at this! I wanted a turn ever since he has been bragging nonstop on how he managed to do things like taking out Trotter and fighting Platinum Shadow!
Blight Terror:
(Amused Scoff)
No wonder your colors are unnatural for a Changeling from this world as well as your name. You are from the Chaotic Void like us.
Elric:
Exactly!
Bright Terror:
I see. Very well. Any objections?
Everycreature:
...…
Lady Imago:
(Looks Away Annoyingly)
...…
Bright Terror:
(Amused Smile)
Motion Approved. Here.
(Tosses Black Heart Crystal)
Use this if someone challenges Shadow & his friends and needs a little Pick-Me-Up. I have high hopes for you, Elric. Do not disappoint me.
Elric:
(Bows)
By Your Divine Guidance, Blight Terror-Sama!
To Be Continued…
