She Saw the Sunlight at the End of the Tunnel
the Fire andFlames
Previous Chapter"You mean to tell me we can still bring her back? Even though that spell was designed to kill you to save two souls?" Sunset inquired, doubt and hope showing on her face like a well aimed money shot.
"Well, first i need something from the one active voodoo queen in this world. she will no doubt have what i need to perform this. Just... Try to keep her intact? I mean, you accidentally knocked her eye out moving her here... And then there is the slight decay and body damage from the crash. Make sure she doesn't take any more damage?" i said as i got up and got dressed.
i dressed in the outfit i saved from the other human world i visited. the one where i found Steven. I dawned my black leather pants, a black cloth long sleeve button up shirt, leaving the top open to show off the girls a bit, and my black stetson. i swear, if i had been trying to get with anyone in the apple family, all i'd have to do is dress like this. and be part of the family. but, moving on. i had a random thought enter my mind. i would need my swords. I went to the kitchen to retrieve my swords, and was not surprised to find them exactly where nightmare lotus left them. I was mildly amused that his body was becoming smoke, however. Not taking any chances, i took of his head and put it high on a shelf.
Right as i reached the door, the other three were already there.
"Girls, I need to do this part alone." I said.
"I'm driving us all there. Argue and see Pinkimena." said a seriously stressed pinkie pie.
"Fine... She lives in the closet swamp." i replied.
We all piled into pinkie's tardis of a car. I mean, seriously, how does a tiny pink electric car fit four full grown women?! We sat silently for the trip. None of us wanted to speak. Well... At first.
"Hey... um... what was that back in your house?" Rainbow asked.
"What do you mean?" i asked, feigning innocence.
"You know exactly what! the demon thing! We've only seen two people like that! Sunset and Twilight are the only women we've seen do that!" she replied.
"Finally addressing the elephant in the room then? That was nightmare mode. Only elite warriors in the NLR get them. There are only six of us, and the squad is commonly referred to by the rest of the army as the 'suicide' squad. We each represent an element of harmony in our world." I explained.
"The elements of what now?" She asked, confused.
"Remember when i was still queen bitch? I stole a crown from princess twilight? that was an element of harmony. more specifically, magic." Sunset offered up, "the other five are loyalty, generosity, honesty, kindness, and laughter."
"which one do you represent in that squad, Lotus? i bet it's magic." Rainbow said.
"Actually, I represent kindness." i returned.
"Kindness? You?!" She guffawed.
"What is so hard to believe about that?"
Rainbow Dash started to reply, but was interrupted by Pinkie saying "We're here!"
"You girls stay in the car. I'll be right back." I got out and began navigating my way down the path to her shack.

"I know that you came to ask, but first i must inquire your task?" Zecora said in her beautiful African accent.
"I'm here to reunite lovers. There a problem with that?" i replied, trying to be vague.
"Not at all, if that tale were not so tall. You know that they suffer from a barrier, and by that i mean you need to bury her!"
"Zecora. I'm getting that potion, with or without your permission. I will not deny them this. Neither will you. Now hand it over, or I'll get violent."
"To bring those swords you were right, because you will not get that potion without a fight!"
She lit her fist aflame, as green as a leaf with a black smolder to the edges. She threw the fireball. I flipped over it, coming down at her head with a drawn sword. She raised a shield made of some energy. It flung me back, slamming me into a wall. I got up, unsheathed my other cavelier sword, and crossed them in front of me as another fireball came at me. Fortunately, these swords were made to last through worse. I jumped at her again, adding a spin to each swing. It was all she could do block them. I drove her into a corner, her back to a wall. She raised her shield again, obviously tired from the endless defense i forced her into. I used this as a chance to show off. I jumped onto the shield, using the force it exerted on me to send myself into a back flip. I readjusted my grip to have the blade pointed down. I fell back onto the shield, this time, however, threw swords went through and got her in the eyes. Her body slumped to the ground as the last screams died with her.
I took my swords back, and headed to the shelf she kept her voodoo supplies on. I grabbed the potion i needed, clearly labeled zombie.
As i exited the building, i carried the dead Zecora out with my magic. As the red aura sat her down, i set the building alight with another spell. I used my aura to rip her to peices, taking the bones from her. I threw the flesh to the wildlife, and set about grinding her bones to a powder. Which promptly got dumped into the water to dissolve or spread to far apart to find any evidence. I dawned my best horror struck face and ran back to the car.
As pinkie drove, i began to spiel out how the hut caught fire when i grabbed the potion. I lied, explaining that she had mislabeled the poison as tea and drank it. Her head hit the table and knocked over a candle, setting her home on fire.
"It was all could do to get out alive!" i offered in my best horror struck voice. Of course, sunset and rainbow dash bought it. Our gracious driver looked at me the rear view, but i didn't see anger at my lies. Nope. I saw Pinkimena laughing her ass off!
When we got in my driveway, Pinkimena pulled me aside, motioning for the other girls to ahead.
When they were out of earshot, she turned me and said, "I can't believe they fucking bought that!"
I smirked and replied, " like discount pesche."
