Sunset looked around with a smile as they walked past only to see a simple guard station with Fluttershy standing behind it. Fluttershy smiled “I have to applaud you, my sister hasn’t been that happy in centuries.’

Twilight blinked “Centuries?”

Fluttershy nodded with a smile “Ponies don’t expire unless they are killed or have foals which allows them to grow old. Alicorns however like the Princesses live forever.”

Sunset frowned “That makes sense.”

Twilight smiled “Thanks for answering my question.”

Fluttershy gave them a warm smile “Mind hanging around with me at Gilda’s?”

Twilight and Sunset both nodded with smiles on their faces, Fluttershy grinned “I know a shortcut.” The whole group was reeled as they were teleported into an empty light brown room with a brown and white griffon polishing the case full of pastries. Fluttershy grinned at the griffon “Can we have a plater of pastries, Gilda?”

Gilda smiled “I’ll put it on your tab.”

As Gilda was putting some pastries on a platter Fluttershy frowned “There is actually something I wish to ask?”

Twilight frowned as Sunset looked on intently “Go on.”

Fluttershy sighed “Rainbow informed me that she has been talking to a flower, I’m worried somepony’s tricking her with an Echo Flower.”

Twilight frowned “Well I have encountered a flower by the name of Lily, she is definitely the manipulative type.”

Fluttershy grimaced before she turned to Gilda. Gilda nodded as she left the room which knowing that the current matter was private. Fluttershy grimaced “I know of Lily, I’m sure you are aware of the ability to reset?”

Sunset and Twilight raised an eyebrow in unison “No.”

Fluttershy frowned “You can use the power of Determination to save at glowing yellow lights. Lily once possessed this power but I kept her in line, you have far greater Determination as a human. If you die you can come back as many times a necessary.”

The two humans nodded as they slowly ate with pastries with Fluttershy. Fluttershy then returned them to the Water Plains. Fluttershy pointed to a glowing light “You really should save.”

Twilight saved with a smile before Twilight and Sunset waved goodbye to Fluttershy as they headed into the Water Plains Proper. They moved through the Water Plains with ease until they bumped into an orange pegasus filly with a magenta mane “I can’t wait to meet Spitfire, she is here to capture a human that has entered the Underground. We should meet her.”

Twilight shook her head with a nervous smile “I have other things to do, I’m sorry.”

The filly smiled “Well my name is Scootaloo, what’s yours?”

Twilight smiled “Twilight.”

Scootaloo cheered “I’ll see you again Twilight.”

Sunset smiled “She’s a cute filly” she then turned to Twilight “You know, you don’t seem too bad for a human.”

Soon they continued on until they ended up on a bridge were they saw a pegasus wearing heavy golden armour flying over them carrying green spears. Twilight’s eyes widened as she began running from the barrage of spears raining down on her. Sunset drew on some of Twilight’s determination deflecting some of the spears with red shields.

Twilight soon hid in some grass where she couldn’t be seen, the Pegasus grumbled as she flew away. Soon the pegasus leaves allowing Twilight too move on, she saves as headed past a river soon three alluring voices filled the air as they sing in unison. Three fish-like equine creatures with red gems on their chests were singing, one was purple, one was gold and the third was blue.

As Sunset and Twilight arrived at the end the song finished, the gold siren gave them a seductive smile “I’m Adagio Dazzle, leader of the Sirens.”

Twilight smiled as Sunset blushed “I’m Twilight Sparkle, it’s pleasure to meet you three.”

The purple siren folded her hooves “My name is Aris Blaze and don’t you forget it!”

The blue one cheered “I’m Sonata, we are going to have so much fun together.”

Adagio shook her head “Captain Spitfire is clearly after her, she can’t stick around here for her own safety” She then smiled “Wish you luck, Twilight.”

Twilight smiled as she waved “I’ll see you again later.”

The three sirens waved back, Sunset frowned “I never met Sirens before. Hmm there are quite a few interesting creatures down here.”

After getting past a few puzzles they bump into Scootaloo in a rainy area. Twilight picks an umbrella up from a nearby statue and smiled “Come on.”

Soon they arrived at a cliff, Twilight blinked “How are we supposed to get up there?”

Scootaloo moved in front of her “Jump on my back and climb up.” Twilight jumped on Scootaloo's back and pulled herself up.

Scootaloo sighed as she looked up at Twilight “I can’t fly yet so I’ll find another way round.” Twilight waved to him before she turned around and walked along the path to end up on bridge were the pegasus started attacking her with spears again.

The pegasus backed her into a corner at the edge of the bridge, the pegasus growled “I am Captain Spitfire, Leader of the Wonderbolts. I will retrieve your soul for the glory of Princess Celestia.”

Sunset nodded “I see, that’s why this is all happening. After the loss of Sunshine Celestia has devoted herself to the cause I started.”

Twilight growled “I’m not giving up my soul.”

Spitfire grinned “There is nowhere to run or to hide.” Twilight looked at her and the darkness, Twilight grinned as she leapt off the bridge. Spitfire flew over to the edge “Gutsy bitch, I like her.”

Spitfire flew off, Twilight groaned “Where am I?” She sighed as she saw garbage everywhere. Sunset frowned as well, Twilight headed through the garbage dump and after a small altercation with a dummy she left the Garbage Dump.

Twilight see Scootaloo dangling off the edge of a bridge, Twilight runs over and pulls her up. Spitfire flies over with a sigh “I know we’re enemies but I thank you for saving her.”

Sunset smiled “You are a good person, I may have to rethink my thoughts on humanity.”

The two finally arrived at the end of the path only for Spitfire to start attacking them, Sunset started using determination based attacks to slow the armoured pegasus down. Twilight grimaced as Rainbow’s voice came through her phone “I was hoping that maybe you, me and Spitfire.”

Sunset rolled her eyes as a giant red bat sent Spitfire flying “Rainbow now is not the time.”

Twilight grimaced as she picked up the phone “Rainbow, maybe we can do that later when Spitfire is not trying to kill me. I’ll call you later to organise it.” Twilight hung up as she ran through, soon they ended up in a place full of lava.

Sunset frowned “This is the Lava Cistern, one of Discord’ books told me about it. It’s the home of the Core.”

Spitfire as she began to fly after them only to collapse as her armour began to heat up, she took of her armour as she collapsed to the floor revealing her fiery orange mane and yellow coat with a fiery cutie mark. Twilight then saw the dehydrated mare, she then got some water and poured it on her. Spitfire and Sunset asked a similar question “Why did you save her/me?!”

Twilight smiled “It’s the right thing to do. Also Rainbow wants the two of us to hang out with her.”

Spitfire smiled “I think I can do that, the fact you helped me after I tried to kill you makes you a very cool human.”

Fluttershy smiled at them “I’ll take you two to our place to hang out with Rainbow.” Twilight and Spitfire closed their eyes as they were teleported away. Twilight and Sunset opened their eyes to see they were in a simple brown living room, Rainbow was laying on a couch watching a small TV in the room.

Twilight grinned “Hello Rainbow Dash.”

Sunset laughed as Rainbow rushed over with sparkles in her eyes “You’re both here!”

Spitfire smiled “Of course I am, now let’s watch some Anime! I’m sure you have some Anime here right?”

Fluttershy smiled “We have several old Dragon Ball Z episodes as well as One Piece and Naruto.”

The group sat down as Sunset blinked in confusion “What’s Anime?” She would soon find out as the group spent the rest of the day watching Anime.
