Salt was surprised, ​I know I've sent some work to Canterlot and Manehattan, but I can't be that famous, could I?​ "Well, I could make some flashy advertising if you want," Salt said to the two before he curiously asked Zen, "Also, how do you know me? Did you order a decorative piece from me, or was it just word of mouth?"

Salt chuckled before taking a bite of the hay burger. His eyes widened, amazed at the taste, the texture, and even the way it was prepared. After he swallowed, Salt said to the guy, "How come I've never heard of this place? This is the greatest hay burger I've ever had."

​Finally,​ Salt thought as he stepped in, ​Now to see how good their food is, especially for being a more unknown place.​ Salt went up to the counter. ​That pony talking with the staff, she seems familiar...can't remember from where though. ​​Salt then realized he was standing there looking at the other customer for way too long, "I'd like a hayburger, please," he said blushing, hoping the other customer wouldn't be creeped out.

"Alpha said something about Fluttershy's cottage. We should look there first." I said to Twilight, "As for Missklang, I have no idea what just happened." I hoped that maybe Discord would be able to help us, but also hoped that Missklang and Alpha were alright.

"Either way, since I'm here," I ask Twilight, remembering that the Elements needed to be brought back in time, and that Alpha, who was missing, had them "I need your help. But first, what is the last thing you remember?" Hoping that I didn't somehow travel back in time.

(OOC: I hope this is correct) Just as I was about to argue with Missklang, he teleported us right to Twilight's room. Now even more confused, as I thought Twilight was at Sugarcube Corner, I barely got a sound out of my mouth before noticing Missklang disappeared. "Sorry about this, Princess. At this point I'm so confused it hurts. This is either a side effect of the time bubble, or some sort of paradox."

"Well, for me it started when I got back to Ponyville..." I explained to Missklang all of what happened, and what he had told me trying to catch me up, as well as the huge battle with Fuchowa and the Time Bubble. "...and once Facade left, the time bubble repaired the town. Maybe one of the effects of the bubble is that somehow, when you died, the bubble gave you new life, then again, I'm not sure. Maybe Process Twilight can help us understand what's going on." I say before going towards Sugarcube Corner to talk with Twilight.

I turned to Missklang, and was speechless as to what was going on. "Y-you're alive? But how? I thought you died after defeating Fuchowa with that giant laser. Unless..." I paused, "What's the last thing you remember?" I asked, wondering if this was a side effect of the time bubble.

After Facade left, I turned to Spikus, "No, it's not because you bore the Element of Disharmony, it's because of the damage you did. If Facade hadn't stepped in, I can tell you right now, with your injuries, you wouldn't be able to take me. But I will respect his wishes." I looked over the weapons and grabbed just a single knife. "If you give us the Element and leave, I won't give chase, for I know how being antisocial can be."

I moved the sword away from Spikus and went to Facade, "I wish I had the chance to know you all before you depart, but if this is how it must be, then it is as it is. All I can hope is that you and Missklang will be able to find peace in one way or another." I said to Facade before taking the files, "Thank you. Hopefully you're correct in letting him redeem himself." I then noticed that the cracks in the ground were starting to heal from the time bubble's effects.

"Well first off, you can surrender," I said to Spikus almost instinctively, holding my sword right near him, "Considering you not only put the entire town into a state of panic, but you put everybody here, including yourself, in danger. And second, you can help us find the other Bearers of Disharmony."

"So, what just happened?" I asked, confused between the two lasers of death, Missklang appearing and disappearing, and Fuchowa being taken out. "D-did we just win?" I asked, a bit scared at how easy it seemed. Almost too easy. Something didn't feel right though. 'Missklang said something about the creator of the Elements of Disharmony... I almost wonder... was Fuchowa just a pawn? And if so, if what I think happens does happen, fear Celestia help us all.'

With Fuchowa coming towards me, I put up the shield in defense until I noticed the start of what looked to be a powerful attack. I was thrown a foot or two from the blast, giving me enough time to see Fuchowa without his blades. Within the second, I put my blade in a position to stab him with his own momentum.

I quickly took the chance, rushing around the others and going for a slice at Fuchowa. At this point my mind was in a state of adrenaline from the action, fear of Fuchowa, Missklang, and Alpha, and anger at Missklang for not thinking to look for Twilight before casting the time bubble.

I start searching around, before noticing my shop and getting over there, grabbing the sapphire coated shield from the package before looking around for Princess Twilight. I then remembered someone who looked like her at Sugarcube Corner, so I went back to the group, with sword and shield, before asking Missklang, "Would we be able to get through the time bubble without bursting it?"

Finally getting my eyesight back, I realized we were still in Ponyville. "Missklang, you do realize that you just trapped us and Twilight here while Spikus and Facade are fighting, right?" I said, looking around for Twilight, Facade, and Spikus, judging whether to run or fight.

"Oof," I muttered, falling to the ground, "Thank you for the gift but..." I then noticed everything had stopped, including Missklang and Alpha. I then saw memories of the past bearer of the Element of Generosity, and everything seemed to click. As I saw the memories go by, the many similarities between the past bearer and I, I realized that I was the new bearer of the Element of Generosity. It was then that it finally hit me. The blade I designed after my mother's dress. It was based on one of the dresses that the past bearer made. As the memories faded, the purple diamond started to morph into a purple blade. It was at this point that time continued. I was dazed and confused, yet I could see clearly now, except for the fact that I possibly had a trap in front of me.

"I'm Salt Slice, for some reason Facade and Missklang think I'm one of the bearers of the Elements of Harmony. Either way, I'm here to help. Guessing by the fact that you used chaos magic, you're Alpha, right? Anyways, we need to get to Princess Twilight, for I fear she is in danger from this Fuchowa that I keep hearing about." I say to them, tensing up just in case this really is a trap.

"Great, a new evil of ultimate power...so where is Princess Twilight? Since we're supposed to be protecting her, shouldn't we be with her?" I asked Missklang, not mentioning anything that Facade had said about this being a trap. "In fact, where are we?" I also ask, still blurry after the teleportation.

As confused as I was between the teleporting pony and the Nightmare creature, I had no choice to comply as the darkly colored pony teleported us away. As I landed it was hard to make out where we were, never having been teleported before, I asked the pony, "Who are you? And what's this about me being an Element of Harmony?"
