Canterlot

Zero walks out from the gateway as it closes behind him as he stretches out, cracking his back as he looks around. “Welp, time to see sunbutt. Hopefully she’s not busy or anything.” He puts his hands in his pockets and starts walking from the outskirts into the city.

Once he got there, he got a few stares from the rich folk around there as they mumbled and gave him that look. He didn’t pay attention to any of them as he continued his way to the castle. After a few minutes of walking through the city, he finally made it to the gates as he looked at the two guards who looked back at him. “Hello gentlemen, I’m here to see Celestia. She told me she wanted to see me.” He said, lying to the guards as they nodded and lets him through.

Zero gives them a nod, walking past them and up to the castle doors. “Showtime…”

Inside the castle, Celestia had already heard the news that Zero was coming as she made sure Luna was asleep, which she was as she also made sure no pony was around as she disguises herself as her sister, testing her voice and making sure she sounds just like her. She smirks and fixes her hair and goes to look for him.

Zero was making his way to the throne room as he whistles and yawns as he sees Luna turn the corner, “Oh, hey Luna! Hey, do you know where Celestia is? I need to talk to her.”

Celestia as Luna just smiles at Zero and walks up to him, “Hello Zero, it’s good to see you too. Also, my sister is resting right now. But what about you? How are you doing?” She asked.

“Pretty good actually. I came here to talk to Celestia about some things but I guess I’ll just wait for her to get up.”

“Well there is something you could do for me while you wait for her.” She smiles as Zero looks at her and asks what it was. “Come, let us discuss this in private…” She stated as she walked passed Zero as he followed her.

Dreamscape

The real Luna however was tossing and turning in her bed, trying to get into the siren she saw locked away behind the chained door. “Please… let me in. I just want to talk.”

The siren in question was also asleep as she tosses and turns as well, trying to not let Luna into her head. “Why… your kind is nothing but monsters! Yet you called us monsters…”

“I didn’t know miss. I was banished to the moon by my sister for trying to plague Equestria into an eternal darkness… just please, let me in so we could talk…” Luna begged as she floated around her realm, waiting for an answer.

The siren was quiet for a while before Luna heard a sigh, “Fine… I’ll let you in…”

“Thank you… I’m Luna by the way.” Luna said as the siren’s form formed in front of her.

“Delphine…” The siren stated, looking up at Luna. “Leader… well, was the leader of task force MEGA. But that was a long time ago. Not since I was caught by your so-called sister who tortured and had her way with me for years!!”

“I’m sorry for that happening to you but if I may ask… how come you look like a shark? From what my parents told me and Tia, sirens looked like merponies.” Luna stated, creating chairs for them to sit.

“Don’t compare us to those traitors. We sirens differ from merponies because we have different classes/species… an example would be me and our queens. I’m a shark based siren while they are leviathan class sirens, which are very rare.” Delphine explained as she was still a bit nervous being alone with Luna.

“Fascinating. But tell me this, how did you even get caught by my sister? Surely you could’ve escaped…” Luna said as Delphine lowers her head, sighing.

“I failed my queens…” Tears welled up in her eyes as she tried not to cry. “I was to protect the princesses, but I failed them… I failed them all!” She shouted, wiping her tears away. “But when that day when I felt their presence again, I was overjoyed. They tried to save their failure of a bodyguard until they were stopped…”

Luna just sat and listened to Delphine’s story as she now understands why the two sirens, Adagio and Sonata, were drawn to the door and trying to break it open. They were trying to save their friend. “Delphine… would you like to see friends again?”

Nexus

Aria was playing video games with Adagio as Neon and Sonata were having some alone time together. “Pick me up! I have a Ray Gun!!” Aria shouted at Adagio as she was too busy running from zombies.

“Oh yea, sure. As you can see, I’m fucking running away from zombies! So fuck you and your Ray Gun!!” Adagio shouted back as Aria growls as the character she was playing dies.

“Great! Now I have to hurry up and get to the box… you better hope it gives me a good gun.”

“Whatever. Not my fault you suck ass at this game mode.” Adagio remarked as Aria glared at her sister. She then smirks and pauses the game to restart it. “You dumb whore!! We were about to beat our record!” Adagio glares right back at her sister as they get into a glaring match.

“Well I didn’t want to wait, so it’s just better to restart so we could come up with a plan instead of running around the map!”

Adagio scoffs and looks back at the game, “Whatever… sore loser.”

“Slut…”

“Virgin…”

“Cunt!”

“Bitch!”

“Cum Guzzler!”

“Hey don’t hate it, till you try it.”

“You disgust me.” Aria said as Adagio just giggles.

“I love you too.” Adagio said as they got back to playing. She then remembers something as she sighs softly, “Delphine’s is in the Canterlot Castle…”

Aria pauses the game and looks at her sister, confused. “What? What do you mean?”

“I mean Delphine’s still alive… badly injured yes, but alive. Me and Sonata felt her life force that day when you fought Zero for a second time in the castle.” Adagio stated.

Aria couldn’t believe it. Her old friend, her training partner… their nanny… was still alive. Aria’s energy flared as she balled her fists up as before she could do anything, Kiryu placed his hand on her shoulder as she looked up at him. “Calm yourself Aria. Do not worry, Delphine will be saved…” Kiryu said, in a soft tone, remembering his time with Delphine before he was trapped within the Nexus as he couldn’t wait to see his old friend again.

Canterlot

“So let me get this straight… you want me to go check out something at this called Neighagra Falls because there’s some sort of weird energy there?” Zero asked, confused. “Why not send your guards? Why me?

“Because, if I were to send guards there, it would cause panic if ponies see them. That’s why I’m sending you there so it wouldn’t look too suspicious.” She stated as she hopes he took the bait and just went and stopped asking questions. “Please Zero, it’ll be really quick. Once you’re done, I’ll teleport you back, okay?”

Zero had a strange feeling in his gut. He didn’t know why, but he just felt so uneasy as he looked at Luna as she was giving him the puppy eyes. He sighed, “Alright, I’ll do it. But only because I want to see the falls.”

“Oh it’s really beautiful… it’ll take your breath away.” She said, smirking as she opens a portal and taps his shoulder, making it glow a bit. “Just tap your shoulder and I’ll reopen the portal for you to come back okay?”

“Got it. Welp, see you soon…” He said as he went through the portal.

Once the portal closed, she removed her disguise and had a sly smirk on her face. “But I won’t be seeing you anymore after today…” Her horn glows as she puts an invisible shield around Canterlot as she teleports to Zero’s location to say her goodbyes.

Underneath the Canterlot Castle: A day after Castle Omega

After calming down the media about the earthquake and the explosion in the distance, Celestia managed to get away from it all as she was down in her base, yawning thinking she did a great job in getting rid of Zero. She sent a team of five to Neighagra Falls to make sure there was nothing to trace it back to her.

“Did the strike team get to their objective?” She asks one of the stallions looking at his monitor.

“Yes ma’am. Would you like to see the live footage?” He asked, turning his head to look at his ruler.

“Yes please.” Once she said that, the stallion got to work as the screen on the wall showed live footage of the five soldiers. “Can they hear me?”

“Give me one moment…” He presses a few buttons and nods. “Alright, you may speak.”

Celestia clears her throat and sits up in her chair. “Strike force five do you hear me, over?” She says as each of the soldiers stopped in their tracks.

“Yes my princess. We hear you loud and clear.” The leader of the group stated as she nodded.

“Good, are you five at your objective?”

“Yes, but it was so hard to get here since this entire area around here has been completely decimated by the bomb.”

“Show me.” Celestia said as each of the team members showed off a different area, shocking the few scientists that were with Celestia as they could see the entire forest that was there was gone. It was nothing but a wasteland as the only piece of nature that survived was the mountain where the waterfall was, but even then, it still took a beating. “Show me the body of water where Zero was dragged beneath.”

The leader of the strike force walks up a pile of rubble as the small, but deep pond was gone. It was just a massive crater with a small amount of water that could still hide somepony like Zero. “Make sure there is nothing.” Celestia told the leader as he nodded and went down into the crater as the team looked down at their leader going to the small amount of water. Unknown to any of them there was a cave behind them as an eye glowed a fierce, dark purple as it looked at each of the guards, getting ready to strike.

Celestia watches as the leader poked through the water and sees that nothing was inside of it. “Alright, you did good. Come back…-” Before she could even finish her sentence, a blood-curdling scream was heard as she sees a hand had gone through one of the guards as the others move out of the way as Celestia could see from behind the waterfall, somepony or something had its hand through the guard’s chest as she could only watch in horror as the guard was shaking violently. Before she could say anything else, the cameras went out, “Strike force five can you read me…”

Silence was heard as she gulps, sweating nervously. “Respond! Strike force five, can you read me, over?!” The next thing that was heard was the screams of her guards as the cameras kept buzzing on and off, showing each of the team being taken out as she could also hear a roar filled with rage from the being that was attacking her guards as the cameras went out again. The ponies that were there also could only listen in horror as they could hear bones breaking to flesh being ripped off as the cameras turned back on one last time. It buzzes showing that four of the five were out while the last one was running in fear. Celestia could hear how scared the female was for her life, “Number five, do you copy…”

The fifth member pants heavily, hiding behind a tree. “I don’t want to die…” She was trembling as she rubs her stomach, tears streaming from her face as she tries to stay quiet. “I knew I shouldn’t have joined the stupid military and just been a teacher… I didn’t sign up to die. I should’ve listened to my husband!!” As soon as she yelled, a branch broke behind her as number five covered her mouth, crying as Celestia could only watch as in front of number five, in the darkness was a glowing purple eye. Before she could even think, the camera became fuzzing again as the being ran full speed at number five as she could only scream in terror.

She kept repeating she was pregnant and didn’t want to die as the camera cuts out again. The ponies in the base quietly cried as it sounded like number five’s head was snapped as a thud could be heard.

Celestia balled her fists and glared at the screen as she was trembling in fear as the voice of Zero rang out as the camera fuzzed back on but everypony could barely see. “I know you’re watching Celestia…” His voice was filled with rage as his glowing eye could only be seen looking into the camera. “You have two hours to evacuate Canterlot… because I’m coming… for you.” He destroys the camera as all the ponies look at Celestia.

She gulps and continues to glare at the screen as she was still shaking in fear, “Alert the guards and sound the alarms… now!!!”
