Bouncer's mother was weeping on the couch,looking at the family picture,at the hospital with his husband and a newly born son

"Bouncer...my son..." she started to cry again..but the doorbell rung...so she put the picture down,wiped her tears and went to open the door "Hell-"

"Mom!!" Bouncer exclaimed

"Son!!" she sinabi hugging him "thank you! thank you for bringing my son back!!" she started crying again...but tears of joy

"oh,its nothing..." the group said

Bouncer's mother let go of his son "um...is something the matter? the way you sinabi it,its kinda sad..did something happen?" she asked

"no..nothing,dont worry about it" Cosmic replied "well,good araw to you ma'am"

they left their house and was on their way to Spectrum's house...there was no talking,all was quiet..the only thing in contrast to that is the pag-awit birds...and the distant sound of...yelling?

"Hey wait up!" Bouncer ran towards them...when they saw him they stopped and looked at him curiously

"what is it?" Flame said

"nothing much...i just wanted you guys to know that im thankful too! oh,and so is Ruby and Mitta" he smiled then he ran back to where he came from,leaving smiles from his friends

"here you go,take them" Ruby said

"how did you get here? only ponies with powerful magic can get here" Xander said,but he still took the aura strips

"it doesnt matter...take them to where they belong..." Mitta spoke "they dont deserve to be with those fools..."

"yes. they need to be spared from our punishment" Ruby agreed

"okay,i will...but how about you too?" Xander asked

"we'll be fine...now go!" sinabi Ruby...Xander just nodded his head and did as he was told...a bright light appeared again and after that...he was now at the palace with the others

he finished his flashback and sinabi "thank these souls for their sacrifice..." he turned around,going inside the room...but his siblings came from 1 of the portals

"well,well,well..took you so long!" Xander grinned at them

"it was indeed a long discussion...the Griffons made it harder for us" a white stallion said
