I’d been exploring this dark tunnel for about two minutes, but there’s still no way out so keep on going. Just then, I hear voices coming from ahead of us. Speaking German.

I follow the voice until I quietly step inside a room with a table map of Antarctica and few other old decorations. And the man in the back of the room talking to someone from the console speaking German.

“Meine Königin, einer meiner Männer, hatte Brandon Carter und sein Team entdeckt.” The man says,

“Sie müssen sich darauf konzentrieren, das Element zu finden, bevor Sie es finden.” The voice of a woman from the console says,

“Solange sie es finden, werden wir es finden, und wir werden es zu Pindars HQ bringen.”

“Ich hoffe du weißt was du tust.”

“Hitler raus.” He turns off the console, and then the radio. “Alle Einheiten streuen den Bereich für das Artefakt.” He turns off the radio,

“Uh, hello?” I say,

The man turns around at me. But what reveals of a face of Adolf Hitler.

I gasp of who he really is.

“What’re you doing here?” Hitler says,

“No, that’s impossible. You shot yourself when you failed.”

“That’s made up by my people.”

“How did you get here?”

“They dropped me off in Antarctica after I failed to take over the world.”

I draw my hard-light pistol, and point at him. “Where’s the last element?”

“How should I know the last element? Chrysalis didn’t tell me the location.”

My eyes widen that he works for Chrysalis. “You’re a Changeling!”

“I’m not one of her subjects.”

“Don’t lie to me, Hitler!”

“DID YOU SEE MY EYES!?” He points at his eyes showing that they’re not green, “I’m not one of them!”

“You said you were working with them.”

“Exactly! They help me take over the world.”

“But you’ve failed.”

“We’ll see about that.”

A Scout appears from invisibility, and then it is about to strangle me, but then I shot it before it dies. Hitler then runs over me, and then he jumps on me. As I land on the floor, I drop my gun. He tries to choke me, but he is no match for my suit. I punch his face, and then I kick him off of me. He lands on the ground, and I quickly stands up before I pick up my hard-light pistol. Hitler grabs a pipe, and he swings at me, but no effect. I swing my gun at his face, and he falls to the ground. He grabs his pistol, and he fires his gun at me, but still no effect. I snatch his gun, and throw it against the wall.

I pin him down with my foot pointing my gun at his face. “Try to get up. I’m pretty tough.”

“You don’t understand.” Hitler says, “My people were defeated during the Great War. So I have my revenge. Chrysalis taught me how to be a leader, and I control my people to destroy religion that is responsible for the defeat of my people.”

“No, Hitler. You’re killing millions of people. Why?”

“She told me that religion is destroying the world.”

“She didn’t help you; she’s using you.”

“You’re not making more sense, Carter!”

I release him still pointing my gun at him as he stands up. “They came here to enslave us. She’s using you so she can buy more time to colonize the entire Earth and have billions of her puppets. Think about it, what will happened if you did win the war? Than everyone will be one of Chrysalis’s puppets, and turn this planet into Venus?”

“I’m saving the world from ourselves! Religion is killing the planet, so there will be sacrifices.”

“She lied to you! Religion brings world peace, but they didn’t say anything about religious people that’re causing global warming, but the aliens are responsible for all this evil just like them!”

Hitler didn’t say anything.

“If you mess with religion, they’ll mess with you. So I’m giving you a second chance: you will join the human race to help them stop Chrysalis, or you will die. There is no other choice.”

Slowly, Hitler’s impression turns from mad to remorse. “I can’t.”

“And why’s that?”

“I-”

Just then, the monitor went on, and the face of Chrysalis appears on screen. “Hitler, was machst du?”

Hitler turns at me, and then to Chrysalis. “Entschuldigung, Chrysalis. Ich verdiene es, meinen Leuten zu helfen.”

Chrysalis laughs hysterically. “Das werden wir sehen.”

Suddenly, Hitler screams in agony while covering his head, and then his eyes turn green. He turns at me, and says in a demonic voice. “There is no turning back, Brandon Carter!” Just then, Hitler’s eyes turn normal as he groans trying to break free. “Verschwinde aus meinem Kopf, Chrysalis!”

“Release him!” I shout at Chrysalis,

“Never!” Chrysalis says with an evil smile,

“Son of a buck!” I shoot the monitor destroying it.

Hitler’s eyes turn green again. “Friendship will never stop us--” Hitler’s eyes turn normal again. “I can’t hold it much more!”

“Fight it, Hitler!”

“I can’t--!” His eyes turn green. “You will not locate the last artifact. Even if you located it--” His eyes turn normal. “I can’t join you. Kill me now!”

I hesitate from shooting him.

“DO IT!”

I pause as I aim at Hitler in the torso. “I’m sorry.” I pull the trigger.

Hitler falls down backwards, and then he slowly lift his head up for his last words. “I’ve been the war... once Chrysalis helped me after my defeat, I’d been a slave... I just... want to be free, Carter... to learn ‘Friendship’...” His drops before he passes out to death.

“Yeah, I want that too.” I say,

He deserves to be a good person, but I know his mistakes. He’d become Chrysalis’s slave, and he was being used to destroy us all, and failed. He doesn't realize that until his death. I’d deserved to learn what ‘Friendship’ really is... so does Hitler.

I walk through the tunnel to the right.

“Brandon, do you copy?” Twilight asks in my radio, “Where have you been?

I turn on my radio. “It’s not that important, Twilight. Where are you?”

“We’re in a temple, and we’ve found my element.”

“I’m on my way.” I turn off my radio, and I run through the tunnel.

I run out of the tunnel where the others at, and there’s the object with Twilight’s element inside it. Applejack, James, Nick, Rebecca, Pinkie, Kelly, Rainbow and Rarity are also with them.

“There it is.” I say as I regroup with them,

“I’m glad you’re okay.” James says,

“Let’s grab the Element, and get out of here.”

Suddenly, an explosion creates a hole in the ceiling, and a helicopter with grappling guns dart at the object, and then it lifts it up off the platform, and then the chopper disappears outside along with Twilight’s last remaining element.

“No!” Rainbow cries,

We climb onto the debris, and run outside. The helicopters including the one that stole the element disappears northwards.

“Dang it! We need that element!” I shout,

“We’re not dead yet.” Faust says,

There’s an intact helicopter with no one piloting this thing.

We run over the chopper, and we hop inside it before we close the door behind us.

“Does everybody know how to fly this thing?” I ask,

“I’ll do it.” Faust says as she hops onto the cockpit, “Thomas taught me how to fly a chopper while I was about to start season 5.”

As we sit down and buckle our seat-belts, Faust starts the engine, and the propellers start to spin faster and faster.

“Try not to look down, James.” Rainbow says,

“Thank you.” James says,

“I didn’t know she’s a pilot.” Nick says,

“More like we didn’t know that she’s the member of ETIC.” I say,

“Good point.”

“Hold on to your butts.” Faust says,

The propellers’ spin increases, and then the helicopter ascends up to a thousand feet before it follows the helicopters.
