Sunset Shimmer woke up in front of a destroyed Canterlot High, which looked exactly like it did the night she became a demon. No one was there, and it was quiet. Next to where she landed was a crater. She walked over to it, and she saw 6 dead bodies that looked like Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Applejack, wearing their Fall Formal dresses. “Oh no…I’m sorry that I couldn’t save you!” Sunset cried, thinking that she may have caused their deaths. Just then, someone who looked like the demon version of Snails came up.
“What’s wrong? Do you need help?” he asked. At this point, Sunset Shimmer stopped crying.

“Nice to see you, Snails Demon! How did you end up here?”

The demon version of Snails was shocked. “How did you know my name was Snails?”
“Where I come from, there’s a demon who looks exactly like you. His name is Snails.”
“My name is Sunset Shimmer.”
“Welcome to the Demon Kingdom, Sunset Shimmer.”
“Snails, I think this is actually Canterlot High, NOT the Demon Kingdom.”
“Well, this place used to be called Canterlot High, but this is really where me and my friends live. Ever since Sunset Demon took over the human world and Equestria, the human world has become a part of the Demon Kingdom. I’ll take you inside so you can meet my friends.”

Sunset Shimmer went inside the destroyed Canterlot High, and went inside a classroom. She recognized this room because it was where she had several of her subjects. Inside the room, there was a demon who looked like Snips’ demon form, a girl with purple and pink hair about Sunset Shimmer’s age who wore a scarf, and a young girl who looked like a younger version of Sunset Shimmer. They were drinking Demoji juice and listening to a song by Sunset Demon, which Sunset Shimmer recognized as “Demon Princess Rock”, however, some of the lyrics were slightly altered to talk about how Sunset Demon took over Equestria:

“One night I met this teenager named Sunset Shimmer
She wanted to steal Twilight Sparkle’s crown, and I put dark magic
Into that crown, and me and Sunset Shimmer
Came together
As a powerful Demon Princess and we made all this happen:

Brainwashing humans
Destroying Twilight Sparkle
The humans became demons
We conquered Equestria!”

“Hello, everyone! My name is Sunset Shimmer, and I come from Canterlot City. I am new here to the Demon Kingdom, so maybe you can show me around!”

“Hey Snails, why did you bring a Pariah in here?” asked the demon version of Snips.
“I beg your pardon, WHAT THE HECK did you just call me?” yelled Sunset Shimmer.

“A Pariah. That’s a person who’s potentially dangerous to Sunset Demon, the demon princess, because she is an ordinary human. The only humans that should exist are the Loyal Servants, the ones who wished to become human in exchange for becoming a servant to Sunset Demon.” Snips said, pointing to the two humans in the room.

“Snips, let's get rid of this Pariah!” the purple and pink haired girl said, holding something that looked like the Demon Spear, the legendary object used by the Demon Princess' servants in the Demon Princess legend.
“YOU CAN’T DO THIS! I didn’t do anything wrong!” Sunset screamed. The purple and pink haired girl then pointed the weapon and magic came out of it, but it had no effect on Sunset Shimmer.

“What did you do wrong, Mystery Mint? Did Sunrise throw the New Demon Spear down the stairs?” Snips Demon angrily asked.
“I don’t know, but this girl could stay with us. We could take her to Sunset Demon to see what is wrong with her. However, she seems like a nice girl!” said Mystery Mint.
“I agree with you, because she’s...very attractive…” Snails responded, with a look of romance in his eyes.

Just then, two objects that resembled cell phones beeped. “Snips, Snails! I sense a Despair Creature! This Despair Creature is called Ethel, and she’s the Road Warrior Creature. Her Despair Dimension can be very dangerous, so be careful, boys!”

“Sunset, would you like to come to see us fight a Despair Creature?” asked Snips.
“Sure! It’ll be awesome! Plus, I can help you fight!”
“How can you help us?” asked Snails.
“You’ll see when we get there!” Sunset replied.

The demons then pressed the “teleport" button on the devices they had. Then, a flash of light surrounded everyone in the room and took them to the Despair Dimension.
