"Hey Abel. Light the candles again!" Ada told but there was no response.

"Abel?" Ada was telling Abel but there was no response herd.

"Ugh fine I'll do it myself." Ada said as she tried to bring the candles back but they were burned out.

"What?" Ada was puzzled after seeing it. She used magic for light to see what happened but what turned out was pretty horrible. There was the corpses of the three friends. Gestas, Dismas, and Claudia. There eyes were gouged out and there were guts all over them with black ink coming out of their mouths and the table was a bloody mess. There was blood on the pot and on their plates. The tangerines were also rotten and moldy as well with blood on the floor and black ink everywhere on the walls.

She screamed so loud she fell on her back away from the table and slowly trotted towards the table again.

"No... This New Year can't start off like this!" Ada was so scared she started crying over the death of her friends as she looked at her dead friends the spiders started to come out of the corpses which shocked her leaving her off to run away. She went in the hallway with the wall painted in black ink "RUN!" and the floor was a boiler platform like texture with black chains on the walls with the black ink leaking from the walls. As she ran towards the exit she saw a pony that she didn't know.

"Hey!" Ada gained her attention to the unnamed pony but the pony was a gray zombie like demon pony with black all around the eyes crying black ink with blood all over the face and it had a crooked smile with fangs on it, the teeth were rotten and it had no mane and tail.

"No please, STAY BACK!!" Ada quickly juked the wandering pony and she head straight to the exit but when she left the house there was blood on the snow and the Hearths Warming tree wasn't an ordinary tree anymore. It was a blood blade tree with chains on it and the star on top was an actual heart of a pony. She wanted to leave but the ground was gone leaving her stranded at the house.

"What?" Ada was confused after seeing that the ground is all gone as she finds a blue key she ran back in the house and went in the guest room, there was blood everywhere and another demon zombie like pony came and another one came.

She managed to flee by unlocking the door and going upstairs and another one came out spooking her way as she went upstairs to the library where she was greeted by the same wanderings.

"Please, no.... STAY BACK!" Ada panicked and rushed to the table where she found a book on spells and monsters. "What are those things?" Said Ada as she started to see that the demon zombie ponies are "Wanderings" and they wanted to kill Ada. "Come on.... Where is it?" Ada finally found a spell to shoot fireballs and the Wandering saw her and it walked towards Ada.

"Don't take another step foward." Ada said angrily.

"I'M WARNING YOU!!!!" Ada shouted and the other Wanderings came.

"DON'T TOUCH ME!" Ada screamed and started shooting fireballs from her horn which made the Wanderings get crumbled down into chunk sized pieces with blood and black ink coming out of them killing them instantly.

"FUCK!!" Ada shouted by dropping and F-Bomb and she quickly retreated to the yellow key and picked it up and she started tasting a plant to help her calm down.

She back to the hallway and saw another Wandering and shot it 5 times before it died. "I need to get the HELL outta here." Ada said as she went inside the bedroom greeted by another Wandering and killed it instantly with a charged up fireball shot. She grabbed the blue key and ran towards Abel's bedroom holding a red key and she pushed off the Wandering and picked up the key and ran out and quickly escaped back downstairs and then she went back to the same direction which lead to the guest room, two Wanderings confronted her and she turned back with one Wandering behind her.

"GET AWAY!" She yelled by running past it but got scratched on the side of her body causing her to bleed.

"AHH FUCK!" She screamed in pain and fled to the kitchen seeing a first-aid kit.

"This better be worth it." She putted on the first aid covering up the wound and the same three Wanderings found her and she managed to unlock the door and close it behind her but there was something different in the dining room.

"Huh? There gone? What's going on here?" She was completely confused on what happened to her 3 friends as she questioned on the disappearance of them.

"This is some fucked up bullshit." Said Ada as she heard the banging on the door she just closed.

"Oh fuck, I gotta run!" Ada said as she quickly ran towards the door in the middle of the hallway unlocking it which lead to the basement which was an industrial pipe nightmare.

Ada went down the stairs leading to the basement. "Look's like it's the only way." She declared while going down to the stairs with blood on it.

"I need to find the curator." and she saw another spell which caused her to teleport but it was guarded by another wandering but it was quickly killed by Ada and she continued forward and she went to the balcony of the industrial basement.

"What the?" Ada was questioned by the dripping sound of black ink leaking from a broken pipe as she noticed a flying demon with no torso. The Howlings saw Ada less than 3 seconds and started shooting black gunk to trap her.

"Oh shit." She managed to get away inside the room and was greeted with two Wanderings which she killed until she saw this.

"What?!" She was devastated on the death. "Ges..tas... How come?"

Gestas was impaled on the wall by chains with his guts all over him and on the floor leaving off a bloody mess.

She slowly approached it and wanted to touch it but the body led out a roar leaving her to flee from the room going straight to the other rooms but they were barricaded by planks.

"Stupid planks." Said Ada. "I need to leave this fuckin' place" as she went in the room and picked up a red key to leave the industrial basement, Abel closed the door and locked it with a yellow key.

"Hope you will enjoy this Ada, for refusing to take your powers seriously on becoming one of us." Said Abel as he started to run off.

Ada went back but the door was locked with a yellow lock.

"Locked?" Said Ada and she heard a rumble in the ground of the room resulting a black demon-monster like pony. It was a black alicorn with white eyes. A Nightmare to be exact.

"No.... Please!! STAY AWAY!!!" Screamed Ada as she shot fireballs rapidly and she used a teleport spell to trick it but she accidentally left it and telefragged it killing it instantly.

After she killed the Nightmare a yellow key dropped and she ran all the way passing through the metal unstable bridge and quickly left the basement going upstairs and entering a snow cave.

"The caves must lead me to the way out for sure." "Or at least, I hope so." Ada Said by going into a castle inside a cave.

"Is this some sort of.... Castle?" Ada questioned as she embraced a white earth pony which walked slow and it was drooling black ink and blood. Ada took out the book of demons and she sees it as an Independent and she ran towards it juking it instantly and she saw another pony but it was a unicorn pony and the red eye glowed on his right eye causing Ada to go crazy.

"Ahh FUCK!!" Ada was having a headache because of the Horror tormenting her, it caused Ada to fall collapse down with a nosebleed and her crying blood. She wasn't dead but she was transported to her personal hell with personality shards scattered around it.

"Where... am I?" Said Ada

"Is this.... Hell?"

"Who am I?

Ada wasn't just ordinary anymore. She was corrupted and she had black ink and blood all over her face and red glowing eyes. There were dead Wanderings impaled on sticks and as she collected the personality shards the black gunk would leave the giant heart as the darkness comes kicking in she ran from the darkness. If the darkness grabbed her she would die. She touched the heart and she came back to her own world coming back and killing the same Horror that sent her to the personal hell.

"I CAN'T DIE!!!!" Screamed Ada as she went towards to the library killing two Wanderings with fireballs and she found a bed with nails with a blue key on it.

"No... NOT THIS TIME!" She quickly grabbed the key and ran out going to the blue door and unlocking it killing an Independent and saw Dismas impaled by black tentacles sticking through him dead with guts and blood all over the place.

"You too? Ada was shocked on seeing the corpse of Dismas "How? Why?" "Dismas... I can't believe it...." Ada was so devastated over the nightmare she's in and she quickly ran back after getting a yellow key and fought through every monster and found the exit of the cave and quickly ran out to the graveyard with a church.

"Fresh air!" Ada was delighted and looking forward to escaping the nightmare.

"I need to get out of here. The faster the better." Said Ada and she started to walk towards the gate of the graveyard but it was locked. Before she left, she saw a spell which can make her sing to see the lost souls. She could either save them or kill them as she used the spell the souls were here.

"What is this?" Ada was completely puzzled over the ghost souls there was and she touched one which got zapped with a lightning bolt sending it to hell.

"Huh?!"

"What's going on?!"

"I can't touch them?" Ada walked to another one but one disappeared and upon disappearing it made a whisper to Ada.

"Thank you." Said the soul upon being sent to heaven.

"This is weird."

"I don't understand this."

Ada was so confused and then the music ended and the souls were gone and they can come back if she sings the lyrics of the song again.

Ada started to proceed to the church and the other side of the graveyard but the Howlings came and they weren't the same from last. They were white and a little stronger and they started shooting Ada but one of them got killed by her and one got Ada in the leg causing her to get trapped in the black gooey acid which burned her.

"AUUUUGHHH!!!" Ada screamed in pain and she managed to escape it and kill it and she started leaving off limping with a blood trail.

She was crying and she was in pain with blood all over her.

"*sniff* Why does this have to happen." She sniffed and took out another first aid kit bandaging the flesh wound by pouring the wine she collected from the party and pouring it down and then putting the bandage on it. "I need to get fucking going. I can't die here. I must find the curator and get all the answers." She said softly as she got back up and finds out that the graveyard was infested with Wanderings, Howlings, and Independents.

"Fuck you Abel." Said Ada as she started going on a killing spree killing 5 monsters which was 3 Independents and 2 Howlings and telefragged 1 Wandering and killed 6 more with fireballs.

She then quickly noticed a statue of a dragon pony hybrid with the corpse of Claudia hanging on it with blood on the floor circling the statue around it.

"What?" Ada walked towards to the statue of her dead friend Claudia.

"I can't believe that happened...... To all of you guys." and there was a Wandering behind her, Ada grabbed a glass shard left from Claudia's broken necklace and stabbed the Wandering in the neck and started shooting all the demons till they died.

"I AM A DEMON SLAYER!!!!" Yelled Ada and she found the last two demons and shot them to death.

But the black ink came towards her causing her to become a maniac. She became immune to panicking unless confronted by a Horror with Ada's eye flashing a red light on the left.

"What's in here?" Said Ada as she went inside the shack which had a statue of Ada carried on the mouth of a gargoyle sitting on a casket open for Ada's tomb.

"Is this..... Me?" Questioned Ada.

A mysterious manly demon voice responded. "Yes."

"So... It turns out, there's no escape and this nightmare will never end?" Ada Asked.

"Yes, Ada. There is no escaping this nightmare." Said the mysterious voice.

"If you leave now you will receive something you will never forget." The mysterious voice said before Ada left.

"I don't care what you say." Ada talked back as she ran towards the exit and surrounded by all the demons.

"He wasn't lying at all." Ada said and started running inside the church managing to escape from them.

One Independent grabbed her tail but she managed to get inside and lock them out.

Ada panted "Sweet Celestia that was close." he heard banging on the door which got barricaded by the plank that Ada putted on.

"This place looks safe." Ada was thinking if she was really safe from all the monsters she was tormented by but she was in for a surprise upon entering the church.

"Darkness has taken all of my friends." Said Ada. "There's nothing left of them, and now apparently it's my turn." Ada said thinking she will be dead after getting killed by the demons that want her dead.

"If I find the curator I will get the answers." Ada stated if she finds Abel inside the church.

"If he's still alive, he's here. Said Ada. "He has nowhere else to go." Ada said and then she walked to the right door getting a blue key for the door for the left and she went inside moving forward but her mind started playing tricks on her with red and black static going on her vision collapsing down on the ground.

Ada suddenly woke up 3 minutes later and she has woken up in the church which has turned into the Pandemonium.

"What?!" Ada was shocked and she was greeted with every monster she saw. There were Wanderings, Howlings, Nightmares, Horrors, and Independents. The Independents weren't ordinary ones, they were now red and kinda weaker. The Nightmares were the same but they were weaker like the red Independents she encountered. There were souls screaming all over the place which made her sick.

"I must leave immediately." Ada fought her way through the monsters in the Pandemonium and she killed 4 Independents, 5 Horrors, 2 Howlings, 7 Wanderings, and 1 Nightmare. She managed to get a blue key and cheat her way using a teleportation spell to get to the other sides of the Pandemonium. She wen't inside and got a yellow key and went inside the room with cells and a giant pit holding the Megahealth. She telefragged one Independent and shot 2 Wanderings and 1 Howling. She grabbed the red key and the screamings from the souls were still happening they were getting worse and she ran towards the red door and saw a Nightmare, and Independent and one Horror. She quickly teleported away from them going inside a dark room.

She then heard crying and sniffing and whimpering. "Who's there?" Ada questioned. "I can't see anything!" Ada couldn't see anything till the lights turned on revealing the ghost versions of her dead friends Gestas, Dismas, and Claudia which they are now Exhausted.

"Guys... I can't believe this all happened to you." Ada was upset over this.

She wanted them back so she went inside the door and into a long hallway with flashbacks of what happened before the nightmare begun.

The organ music was playing and as she entered the room she saw Abel playing on the organs and he quickly noticed her by the tip of his ears.

"Abel!"

Abel stopped playing the organs and turned back noticing Ada.

"What are you doing here?" Asked Ada.

"I know, it doesn't sound good." Abel responded.

"I just really like the organ music."

"The organ music?!"

"Usually playing on holidays, after the celebration!"

"it's a god damn pity that it doesn't sound good."

"I'm not a musician like Yoav or Jasper, I'm sorry."

"So.. Ada."

"What do you think of my present?" Asked Abel.

"Your present?" Ada responded.

"Are you going to keep up with the questions?" Abel said in a stern way.

"Okay look you son of a bitch. So is it YOU who's behind all of this fucking bullshit?" Ada said to Abel angrily.

"Behind what?"

"All of this hellish nightmare!"

"That's what you get, for giving "presents" I guess."

"They mess up, then blame it all upon you."

"It's you who had opened the casket."

Ada angrily glazed at Abel. "I thought it was just a little box!"

"I've just been through HELL you sick fuckin' bastard!"

"I've seen them, my friends!"

"In agony! Enveloped by the darkness!"

"Was that your PRESENT?"

"Tell me NOW!"

"Monsters?" Said Abel.

"Maybe YOU are the monster here?"

"How many of those tortured souls have you damned?"

"How many have you killed yourself?

"66" Ada admitted.

"Hmm so you've been counting eh? And has it made you feel any better?" Said Abel.

"Can someone who kills only due to seeing the monsters in the others be called a maniac?"

"THEY WANTED TO TEAR ME APART LIKE FLESH YOU CUNT!"

"I don't care."

"I COULD'VE BECOME ONE OF THEM!"

"Only because they were afraid!"

"And where are your friends?"

"The darkness has taken them." Ada said softly.

"And so you have just ran away from it like the plague?"

"Left your friends to DIE?"

"Now listen here you Ada little shit. I'm only going to ask you ONE question you fuckwad."

"What's the question..."

"Who is the REAL monster here?!" Abel said in a maniac way.

Ada was going to reply but there was no response from her. She only sighed and said nothing at all and closed her eyes.

"I've given you MY PRESENT!"

"You could have become a GOD!!!"

"But no, you have pushed it all away from you!"

"And even then when your friends were wandering there faceless, tortured by the Devil himself crying and begging for help!"

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!!!"

"You YOURSELF have become a fucking, worthless, spineless, heartless MONSTER! You bastard!"

Abel suddenly calmed down. "Well, what can I say, my child?"

"When you pass through that door, it will be all over."

"And as for that casket..?"

"What about the casket?" Ada responded.

"Just keep it."

"It's a present." Abel said.

"Happy New Year.....bitch." Said Abel as he was about to turn back to the organs quietly.

"Well, as you wish.... I will go now." Ada said before leaving through the door on the left.

She continued walking through going back to the house and her friends were alive as ever.

"Ada!" Claudia was surprised to see Ada again.

"Guys!"

"I'm so happy to see you!" Ada was excited over seeing her friends again after escaping her nightmare.

"What are in those bags Gestas?" Ada asked

"We have cleaned out the curators house!" Gestas replied saying that he and Dismas robbed the place.

"I was right! You fucking idiots! You guys are so amazing for that" Ada said sarcastically.

"They have really done it!" Said Claudia.

"Join us at the table, Ada."

"Help yourself to that tasty piece of the pie!" Dismas offered.

Ada refused and said. "Thanks, but I'm not really hungry."

She sighed and started feeling homesick after being tormented in the nightmare.

"I just want to go home.... After all of this nightmare."

"Nightmare?"

"Have you not enjoyed the celebration?" Dismas asked.

"No, that's not what I mean. It's just... Well you know. I've seen you. In a place I can't even imagine. And all of those monsters, I thought it was never going to end."

"Monsters?"

"It looks like it was one HELL of a celebration indeed! Eh? Am I right?"

Gestas did a small chuckle after on what he said and Claudia and Dismas laughed on his joke.

"That's not funny!" Ada said in a mad way.

"What happened?" Claudia said concernedly.

"Remember when we had opened that casket?"

"It has shown me a different world."

"A nightmarish one. Full of suffering."

"And they were there."

"Tortured, devoured by the darkness."

"The lost souls... Trying to break free... From a never-ending agony."

"And you were there."

"Just like them." Said Ada on what really happened after opening the casket.

"I was so scared."

"Well that was... something."

"NONSENSE!" Gestas claimed thinking that Ada's story was full of baloney.

"What?"

"Do you have a god damn idea what I've been through?!"

"I've been to Hell!"

"I could've been killed so I murdered them all!'

"I could have become like them so I tore them to pieces you fucking non-believing cunt!"

"And you're saying NONSENSE?"

"Ada, monsters are not real!"

"Then what have I witnessed?"

"Ada, calm down!"

"What do you mean "Calm Down"?"

"Can't you all see that I'm bleeding all over?"

"There is blood on her indeed."

"And were you not seeing all this time?!"

"Ada, you're not yourself!"

"Don't touch me!"

"You need a rest!"

"Don't touch me!!"

"I said, relax!"

"DON'T TOUCH ME!!!"

She started killing her friends one by one starting at Gestas, then Dismas and Claudia bringing back the red and black static she has in her mind with the lights going off with the candles still lit.

"So, that's what they do huh?"

"Laugh you up!"

"Blame you!"

(Mockingly) "Ada, you're not yourself! Ada, Monsters are not real!"

"But YOU are the monsters!"

"The curator was right all this time."

"They were afraid."

"And so was I."

"But friends laugh."

"Is this the world that I wanted to see?"

Ada starts taking out the closed demon casket with pentagrams on it which will summon demons to create Hell.

"They suffered."

"So did I."

She starts opening the casket resurrecting her dead friends as Nightmares with having the lights of the room turn red.

(INCOMING 4TH WALL BREAK)

"Now, it's your turn."

(END OF 4TH WALL BREAK)

Ada now appears as the Queen of Hell making her friends turned into Nightmares as her servants. Ada wasn't just ordinary anymore. She was the same but with red on the bottom of her mane, she now had a leonine tail with red at the end of it and she now has gray fetlocks for her hooves. She was sitting on her throne back at the Pandemonium with Gestas, Dismas, and Claudia which are now three of her servants guarding her throne and her castle in Hell.

"Glory to our D'Lirium." Said Ada.

After what she said all the demons were cheering and howling and praising Ada over her becoming the Queen of Hell and the darkness leaving off the blood coming down her face with her glowing a red shine on the left of her eye on how D'lirious she is. She will conquer Equestria with the second coming of her conjuring on her demon army and her servants holding all the lost innocent souls as slaves.

Abel was watching her from the cavern of the Pandemonium seeing her ruling Hell.

And Abel said to her being queen by having the grin on his smile.

"Good girl."
