No sooner did Peacekeeper mention a rogue did the sound of distant humming be then heard. Not long after that did the source of that humming make itself visible.
A fairly ordinary if a bit small stallion had been walking along the streets of what this narrator will assume to be Ponyville, humming an odd little tune. No, probably not the one you're thinking of.
Now, this pony? He seemed not to know of the message that had recently been displayed, and was continuing his little walk without a care in the world. It seemed even a random encounter wouldn't faze him.
How odd...

(Eh, I'll give this a shot.)
WARNING: A rogue player has been detected. A message displays over many a pony's vision, particularly in the region near the home of the Peaces, transparent enough to not impair vision much. After a few seconds, the message scrolled down for more information.
Caution is to be advised, for rogues care little of the well-being of others, and have been known to attack with little or even no provocation. Confrontation in any form is not recommended, but a reward of one's choosing (within reason) may nonetheless be given to those who defeat and/or capture the rogue.

"Uh, yeah? Didn't you hear brother shout? Speaking of which, I should make sure he doesn't mortally offend them..."
And with that, Illusion was gone. Again.
*Outside*
"Well, duh! You'd have to be brave to even consider walking into a spooky forest with nothing but a strange bat-pony as your guide!" Said Illusion as he poked his head out the entrance again. "Don't let the knight in sour armor tell you otherwise!"
"Don't encourage her, brother." "Or what? Going to let loose some snark at me?"
Breaker just sighed, applying his hoof to his face

"Um, weren't you paying attention? We were already found." Said illusion, re-appearing at Nocturna's side out of seemingly nowhere, pointing a hoof at the entrance. "Pegasus and a bat right outside. Or did you already know and just didn't care?"

"Oh, a secret? Hm... You know, it might not even matter. Chances are, whatever changes you've made have already occurred in some way. A stable time loop, also known as the Predestination paradox or the Destiny Trap; You can't change history if you're a part of it. And that's not even mentioning the possibility of alternate timelines."
Illusion looked to the entrance. "You guys do know somepony's out there, right? And that it's not just Breaker?"
*Outside*
"In this day and age, anyone and everyone is a possible threat. For all I know, the filly was to be the distraction so you could sneak up and sink your fangs into my throat. And how do I know for sure she's even a filly at all?" Breaker replied, returning the batpony's unimpressed look with a burning glare.
"And for the record, he didn't threaten her." Said a smaller stallion who'd poked his head out the entrance. "All brother did was tell her not to move and make a demand. More intimidation than actually threatening."

Breaker opened his mouth as if to speak, paused, closed it, and after a few seconds tried again. "Pony in a cape? Who would you be talking...?" He trailed off as his eyes narrowed.
The glow in his horn intensified, and everypony in the vicinity felt something akin to being hit by a wave of cold water. There wasn't even the possibility of mistaking this for anything other than magic.
The next thing anyone knew, the stallion was glaring directly at the hiding spot of a bat-pony. "I know you're there..." He said menacingly, horn still glowing as he prepared spells to defend himself and/or attack if necessary.

"Oh, us? Naaaah..." Said the unicorn who had walked back in. "That's about as believable as time-travel! Oh, wait..."
Illusion laughed nervously, and was about to say something when somepony's voice interrupted...
*Meanwhile, outside...*
"You there, don't you dare move a muscle!" Shouted Breaker as his horn glowed blue, glaring directly at the pegasus laying on top of the boulder, apparently trying to eavesdrop.
How she'd not noticed him standing guard right outside the entrance this WHOLE TIME he did not know. Or perhaps she did know and just didn't care.
Either way, she was an unknown and would be treated accordingly.
"Explain yourself! What reason have you for being here?!"

Before long, the entire bowl of ice cream had been polished off, and licked clean by the looks of it. The sight Honeydew had witnessed was both a little awe-inspiring and perhaps a wee bit disgusting. That, and Illusion was still covered in ice cream.
But hey, for cookies and cream, he thought any looks of disgust would be worth it.
"Hey, something up?" The stallion asked. "Looks like you got something to say. Did I get any on my... Nevermind, I'm pretty sure I..." He trailed off upon seeing a unicorn walk in. Not just any unicorn, mind you, but one that in his eyes was somewhat... Well, I'm not really sure, but let's just say she caught his attention.
It was a few seconds before he realized he was staring, and promptly cleared his throat. It was odd, but maybe it was the colors that caught his attention for so long? "Er, if it's about that accident, Dew, I don't think you'll have to pay for that bowl... Oh hey, here comes your replacement!" A bowl of ice-cream was placed in front of Honeydew, accompanied by one final apology from the pony who'd brought it, who had also given the two some cloths.
Illusion put one of the cloths to use by immediately wiping off his face with it. He was about to speak again, but that was when he'd heard a voice, enhanced by a device of some sort, likely a microphone. And, well, he stopped to listen to the song of a mare he didn't know.
He wasn't rude enough to talk over somepony's singing and potentially ruin it.

"Well, it's not that they outright hate each other. They just don't trust each other much farther than they can throw each other. Though some can throw quite a long way..." Said Illusion as he popped into the cavern. "Also, Hi. And bye." And with that, he was gone.

"Whatever happened to diplomacy? He seems nice enough even if he looks like some weird golem. Besides, this is pretty much the only entrance. I vote we give him a chance!" Was Illusion's protest.
He saw Breaker shaking his head. "You're a bit too trusting, brother. Who knows what he could be doing in there? I say we go in. Too bad, it looks like you've been out-voted."
"Elegan can back me up on this! Won't you, El- Where'd she go?" Illusion looked around rapidly for the earth pony that had mysteriously vanished.
"Out-voted." His brother repeated, walking up to the rock and shoving it aside a little more with his magic, providing easier entrance.
"Ladies first." He told Nocturna. "You wanted to speak to them yourself in the first place, did you not?"

If he weren't already doing so, Illusion would've grinned. "Grand Illusion, nice to meet ya!" He said, shaking the offered hoof with quite a bit of enthusiasm.
He then looked to the other three ponies that he had been with. "C'mon, don't be rude. Introduce yourselves!"
Breaker rolled his eyes. "Stone-" "Real name, please." A sigh was heard. "Spell-Breaker, at your service..."

(S'alright, I'll give you some time to come up with something... Or do you want to be found and be introduced to the groups?)
"Whoa-ho! That's one fancy-looking albeit busted fake eye!" Illusion remarked. "But is that a challenge I just heard...?"
The stallion's creepy grin widened. "Oh, I can think of a few fates worse than having to get a replacement for your eye... Petrification comes to mind..."
All the light in the area soon began to dim, leaving only the two ponies in the clearing with any light shining down on them.
"Think about it... Stuck in one place for all eternity as a statue. Oh, I'm not referring to a cockatrice's gaze, here... You'd be keeping your awareness... You would be unable to move a muscle, unable to even sleep for all that time, forced to watch as years, decades, and centuries go by, helpless as time marches on... And maybe if you're lucky, all those years will take it's toll, and you'd crumble to dust..."
The stallion chuckled. "And that's only one possible path. Sadly, if I go much further with the details, someone I know will get in trouble for my being a little too vicious. Child-friendliness and all that. Rest assured, none of it's pleasant."
The light returned immediately as the creepy atmosphere vanished instantly. "So let's not dwell on that! Name, please!"

(Radiovid: Would you rather I find you instantly and spoil whatever surprises you might have planned? I can still do that, if you want. )
As the earth pony jumped away, Illusion followed, sporting a creepy grin on his face as he stopped about eight paces away.. "Who am I, indeed? I have many names, after all... But you're not entirely in a position to ask. Why don't you tell us yours, instead? And please, no screaming for help; I really don't wanna get violent over a misunderstanding."

Illusion let out a sigh, before his horn glowed. "If you'll excuse me..." With a white flash, he disappeared.
"Of course we heard that." Said the stallion's voice directly behind the pony known as Maple. "But it's not a question of whether we'll hurt you or not, but rather a question of if you'll cooperate or not. Put simply, if you're a rude ruffian like I think you are, then we, or more specifically, you, are going to have problems. If you're not... Well, no harm and all that."

"Um... Right..." Was Illusion's somewhat uncomfortable response. Just leaving a pony to whatever fate befell them just wasn't sitting well with him.
"That most definitely looks like a blocked entryway, but you don't necessarily need a unicorn for this work. Look, it's been moved slightly to allow ponies to potentially squeeze through." Breaker had said, keeping his voice quiet to prevent being overheard.
"Anyway... Looks like we have three options here. One, we stick to the original plan; Diplomacy and possibly violence. Two, we blast the rock and demand they give back whatever was stolen. We outnumber them, after all. And then there's plan Three, Forgo talking altogether, blast the rock, and take 'em by surprise."

"Alright, then. Just a few seconds..." Illusion had said, his horn beginning to glow a bright green. After a second or two of concentration, the unicorn let his magic go, apparently sending off a wave of it in all directions.
He was completely unaware of the chill going down the spines of those he'd detected...
"Hm... That's odd... I'm sensing what I think is an earth pony, but his signal's all sorts of wonky. Could be nothing, though... The rest is weak and faint; either they're really beat up or they're underground..."
Illusion turned his head to face the direction he'd found the signal. "There's without a doubt a unicorn with them, though. Odd, but looking at this little group of ours... Either way, all the signals are in this general direction, and it's not even that far. C'mon, let's go."
With that, the stallion walked off at a fairly quick pace.

"This doesn't look like the kind of forest one can easily navigate..." Illusion observed as Nocturna looked around. "From the looks of it, it's kinda growing on it's own... Forever free, I'd say. Hm... Ever free... Everfree... Has a nice ring to it..."
The stallion spent a few seconds in semi-deep thought. "This forest is all twisty and turny... If you want, I could try to reach out with my magic to find who we're looking for. You know, the same method I used to find you back at the hill? Might save time and/or keep us from getting horribly lost."

"Oh... That makes sense. 'S'kinda pointless if they have unicorns with them... Never got around to making the spell undetectable... Anyway, will do what I can, no way they'll think they can escape! Illusion made a gesture that could've passed for a crude military salute. "And before you even ask of the possibility, not even teleporting will let them get away scot-free!"
After this, Breaker was heard clearing his throat in order to get attention. "I realize a plan of action is a necessity, but if we're going to confront these raiders, we should probably quicken our pace. You're going a bit too slow for my liking." He'd said.

"Oh, wait!" Illusion suddenly said. "If that doesn't work, could I work some of my magic before you go brawling? I mean, my name's Grand Illusion; What do you think my talent is? I could conjure something up to scare the probably nonexistent pants off of them if they don't cooperate! Heck, we could probably sneak in instead if that's what you'd prefer; a quick spell and you'll be practically invisible!"
There was a few seconds of silence. "But your way's fine, too, I guess..."

The large stallion nodded. "You're welcome, ma'am. And in regards to your plan of action, I agree completely. Best we gather what we can and move on than stay in a location we know to be compromised. And should there be hostility, you need not worry with us on your side."
Illusion jumped a little at this. "Hey, who said anything about getting in a fight?! I'd rather there not be meaningless violence!"
This protest went ignored as Breaker turned to Elegan. "You, Earth pony!" "Elegan. No excuse, brother." His brother interrupted. "Elegan. Apologies. You said a while ago your snake-" "Alfredo." "-Alfredo, had found tracks, yes?"
