Consequences 2:

The choice.

Prologue:

Amora and Scitials battled each other to a near stand still. Amora during the fight failed to see Scitialis’s faithful student coming up behind her. With her horn glowing red Sweet Surgot fired a energy bolt at Amora hitting her in the back causing her to fall to a kneeling position. Scitalis raised his sword and plunged the pullem of it into Amora’s head knocking her out cold with a single strike. Sweet Surgot smiled as she said to her demonic master in a wicked tone of voice.

“Well that should keep her out of our way for a while.”

Scitalis put away his sword then turned to face the vault door behind him as he laughed wickedly. Sticking out both hands with his palms facing the door he used his magic to rip the door off its hinges. Once the two of them stepped over the threshold of the vault he and his student Sweet Surgot looked around the near empty vault. Seeing to their right a mirror that fully resembled the one in Twilight's crystal castle Scitalis thought to himself as he looked at the mirror.

“So this is where they placed it eh, Well I will make full use of it once I have what I came for.”

Scitalis smiled as he looked down at his student who was standing next to him also looking at the mirror. As he said to his student who looked at him with confusion showing on her face.

“Do you know what that mirror is my faithful student?”

Sweet Surgot looked from him then to the mirror and back again as she replied to him.

“No master, I do not know what that mirror is.”

“It is a mirror that will lead to another world, the very world that I must go to in order to have my revenge against Twilight. It was placed here many, many eons ago by the demons to keep creatures like myself from going to another world.”

Scitalis looked around then saw on a pedestal the book that he had been searching for. Walking over to it he picked it up. Showing it to his student he said to her as she looked from the book then to him with even more confusion showing on her face.

“Ah here it is. This is what we came here for my faithful student.”

“I don’t understand master we came in her after you defeated Amora for a….book?” Sweet Surgot replied with a confused look on her face.

“Hold it right there Scitalis you're not going anywhere!” A voice called out to the two of them from behind them both.

Both Scitalis and Sweet Surgot turned around and saw Twilight, Rainbow Dash and the demonic form of Applejack standing behind them. Scitalis grinned as he held in his hands the book that he had been searching for with his student by his side using her magic to cast a shield spell he said to them as the spell sparked to life.

“Better luck next time Twilight, Oh you might want to help your little demon queen friend before she succumbs to her wounds.”

With Amora lying on the ground behind him and Twilight and Applejack ready to attack him. Rainbow charged the entrance of the vault only to be knocked back by Sweet Surgots magic. Taking a full hit right to her chest Rainbow fell to the ground and groaned out in pain as Twilight looked on in stunned silence. Applejack screeched loudly and lunged forward only to fall as well when Sweet surgot fired an energy bolt at her hitting her in her left leg.

Scitalis laughed as he turned to face the mirror while laughing Scitalis pointed his right palm towards the mirror that was in the vault with him. Grinning he fired a red energy bolt at the mirror bringing it to life. The mirror world could clearly be seen through the glass of the mirror it self and Twilight realized what Scitalis was about to do. As Twilight looked on in horror Scitalis jumped through the portal disappearing from sight. Twilight leapt at the entrance to the vault only to be knocked back by Sweet Surgot’s shield spell. Hitting the ground hard she slowly climbed back her feet as Sweet Surgot said to her.

“Sorry but, I can let you interfere with my master's plans Twilight.”

Twilight growing angry at being stopped by Sweetie Belle used her own magic and hit her shield spell full force breaking the spell. Seeing that the spell was broken Sweet Surgot turned and used her energy on the mirror it self. Just as Twilight was about to leap through the mirror. As her energy hit the glass of the mirror it fully shattered in front of Twilight. Turning to face Sweetie Belle, Twilight said to her as she used her own magic on her to float her off the ground.

“Why Sweetie Belle? Why are you doing this? Can’t you see we are your friends?”

Sweetie Belle while covered in Twilight's magic and floating off the ground looked at her then down at the ground as her eyes flashed from red to teal green. Twilight seeing that Sweetie Belle was not entirely corrupted by Scitialis’s magic set her down carefully then right hoofed her in the head knocking her out cold. As Sweetie Belle fell into her awaiting hooves Twilight said to Applejack who snarled at her while looking at the broken mirror in front of her.

“Applejack I know you want to go after him for what he did to you but, I can’t carry both her and Amora by myself I need your help.”

Applejack growled back at Twilight causing her to back away from her while still holding Sweetie Belle in her hooves. Breathing heavily Applejack reached out and grabbed Amora by her belt hoisting her up onto her shoulders. Applejack looked to Twilight as she said to her in a sick demonic voice while she started to leave the vault with Amora draped over her shoulders.

“This way.”

The mirror portal leading from Tartarus to the mirror world had worked perfectly Scitalis smiled as he saw that no one had seen the portal opening up next to the schools statue. Scitalis stepping through the portal leaving Tartarus looked to his right. Seeing Sunset, walking down the sidewalk towards CHS with Pinkie holding her hand his smile turned into an evil grin. As he watched for a few minutes more he saw that Rarity, Rainbow and Fluttershy where only a few feet from them. With Rose Cherry bringing up the rear as the group walked past the portal leading to Equestria not noticing Scitalis he called out to Sunset stopping her and Pinkie in their tracks.

“Sunset Shimmer?”

Sunset looked at Scitalis not sure what to make of him. Standing before her was man dressed in a dark blue three piece suit. The suit itself looked to be more made up of scales rather than actual cloth. His hair was thick and pointed almost as if it was not hair at all but, rather fins Sunset could see gills on either the left or right side of his neck. His eyes were blazing red and his flesh was a deep velvet hue that seemed to shine as if many gems had been attached to his flesh.

“Yes I am Sunset Shimmer, how may I help you?” Sunset said as she noticed the portal behind Scitalis. “Are you from Equestria?”

Scitalis smiled as he raised his right hand snapping his fingers causing the portal behind him to explode when it came in contact with the Equestrian portal. The shock wave knocked Sunset, Pinkie and the rest of their friends backwards several feet landing on the ground and being knocked out temporarily from the impact. Sunset lay on the ground ten feet from Pinkie and her friends. Her mother lay six feet from Rarity who laid next to Pinkie and Rainbow Dash. Fluttershy, was lying almost on top of Rose Cherry as Sunset slowly came too from being knocked out. She lifted herself up so she was on her hands and knees. Scitalis watched her carefully as he sneered to her wickedly. Walking a few feet in front of her he looked down to her as she looked up at him with fear showing clearly in her eyes.

“You have a choice Sunset Shimmer you can either read from this book.” Scitalis said as he snapped his fingers again. “Or you can watch as your friends burn.”

Sunset while watching in horror saw circles of fire surround her girlfriend and the rest of her friends. Sunset held out her right hand while remaining on her left hand and knees as she screamed out to her girlfriend.

“Pinkie!”

Scitalis laughed coldly as he threw to Sunset the book that he had brought with him from Tartarus. The book landed a few inches in front of her. Sunset looked down at it. Her fear growing ever more on her face as she recognized the book in front of her. Looking from the book then to Scitalis Sunset sat with her legs underneath her as she began to cry. The book in front of her glowed with an ominous evil demonic energy. Scitalis cocked his head to the right and cooed evilly while taking in the fear and anger that Sunset was clearly showing to him. Pinkie and the others could only watch in horror as Sunset cried. The flames that surrounded them grew higher and Pinkie cried out to Sunset.

“Sunset, help us please.”

Scitalis growing impatient with Sunset snapped his fingers again causing the flames to tighten around his victims. Sunset hearing her friends screaming for help slowly stood up picking up the book in her hands. As she looked at Pinkie then cried out to Scitalis as she held the book in her hands.

“Alright you monster you win, just don’t hurt her please. I will do as you have asked.”

Rarity realizing what Sunset was about to do she grabbed Pinkie and covered her eyes saying to her as she turned her away from Sunset and held the struggling girl tightly in her arms.

“Darling don’t watch.”

Looking at Pinkie Sunset closed her eyes as she said to her girlfriend.

“Forgive me, I love you Pinkie.”

The sky above turned black and flashed as red lightning began to strike the ground around Sunset and her friends. Sunset opened the book and began to read aloud with Scitalis laughing coldly.

“I who am demon born and have walked in both worlds do so command thee to merge as one. Equestria, the mirror world and Tartarus shall be merged as one world. NOW AND FOREVER!

As Sunset finished the last of her words a lightning bolt struck her causing her to scream out as her body burst into flames. Falling to the ground and dropping the book in front of her Scitalis laughed as he watched her breath in heavily. As Sunset started to slowly rise back up no longer as her former self but, something truly born from the pits of Tartarus. Pinkie pulled Rarity's hand away from her eyes and forced her to let go of her. When she was able to fully turn around again she and saw what Sunset had become she screamed out in fear of losing the one she loved most of all.

“SUNSET!”
