Sunset arrived in her home with a smile, Storm Chaser frowned “So how did things go with the Princess?”

Sunset smiled “Not too bad, Twilight woke up no worse for wear and I am going to give her a chance to bridge the gap. I have a friend to visit, she hasn't seen me in a while. Don’t worry I’ll spend some time with the kids tomorrow.”

Storm Chaser shook his head “Sunset, even with time you were at the castle you probably saw them more than I do. I can handle the kids for the night, you’ll have them tomorrow.” Sunset smiled as she left the living room waling into a plain looking brown hallway a few doors on either side with a few family photo on the walls with a few light lighting up the hallway.

Sunset entered their room with a smile, the dark blue walls alongside the dark blue bed and brown bedside table. A huge wardrobe was built into the wall next to the doorway, a small vanity was on her side where she conjured up a stand and placed the communication orb on it.

Sunset then took a few steps and with a click of her fingers she disappeared in flash of light. She reappeared in a large city very different from any in Equestria, in fact it was so far from the border it wasn’t on any maps other than those from the Expedition’s Guild.

Houses of various sizes covered the streets, various mismatched beings made of different animals walked through the streets. A frog dragon worm walked next to a pig lion crab, Sunset giggled as she headed towards the ornate golden palace, she was here to see her best friend. The only one she really had made since she left Canterlot, she walked past a bat frog snake dancing with a tiger lizard fox, a shark bird goat and a sea sponge bear seal.

She arrived walked up the golden staircase that lead up to a large series of golden pillars passing a hawk wolf snake and a frog minotaur pony wearing full armour stood there with lances. She pushed open the massive golden doors to see the huge golden halls as well as grand golden sconces lighting up the fancy tables and engraving. Various mismatched creatures of various sizes laughing as the massive stoic mismatched guards watched lowering their heads in deference to her as she passed.

Sunset opened the massive golden doors of the throne with a grin, a huge red carpet covered the golden room leading to a mighty golden throne with a single blue green/red banner behind it. In addition to the two large mismatched guards either side of the room, a large entity with the lower body of a Centaur, the torso of an Ursa Major, the wings of a Roc and the head of a Dragon.

Sunset shouted “Dyna!”

Dyna flew over to her excitedly “Sunset, I’m glad your here! You want a bit to eat!”

Sunset smiled “Of course, it’s been a while since I’ve eaten a proper meal of the Draconequi. Maybe one day I will bring my family here.”

Dyna let out a hearty laugh as the two left the throne room “I would love to meet them, you are a very special individual. I really can’t wait for our rematch.”

Sunset grinned “I can’t either, how about after our meal. Still we may want to find an empty space to do it.” The two arrived in the dining room, several massive large golden table with various Draconequi at the tables.

Sunset and Dyna took a seat at one of the empty tables. A Draconequus that was part snake, lion and seal wearing a fine suit smiled “My Queen, I see you and your friend have chosen to dine with us.”

Dyna smiled “Feral Dragon Soup sounds good for me,” she then turned to Sunset “What about you Sunset?”

Sunset grinned “I’d like the Screaming Eyeballs, they are rather good if you can handle the screaming.”

The waiter smiled as he took their orders to the chefs. Dyna laughed “Sunset, this is why I like you. Out of your little band of adventurer’s you always were one who took everything weird here in stride, as if were another part of normal life.”

Sunset frowned “Well, I was built not born and I was mad well aware of what that met. My younger sister is lucky that she doesn’t know the difference yet.”

Dyna nodded “Agreed, what you went through was horrible. Still the fact that Celestia is running a nation, that distresses me to this day. An immortal should not be ruling a nation at her age, she is at best a young teen at this point.”

Sunset frowned “I still have difficulty seeing it that way, maybe that’s the problem with only being in a mortal lifetime. Makes immortals seem like those who should be followed.”

Dyna sighed “It’s a common mistake mortals make sadly, still that will fade from you with time.” Before they could say a word the sound of Sunset’s Screaming Eyeballs cut the conversation short.

The two quietly ate, Sunset grinned “So ready for the rematch.”

Dyna grinned back “Yes, I have been training for this fight. I hope yo have been too.”

Sunset nodded as the two teleported into space, Dyna let out a barrage of powerful flames only for Sunset to dodge delivering a sold punch to the Draconequus Queen sending her flying backwards. Sunset grinned “You are a lot stronger than when we last fought. You may have beaten me if you fought me from back then.”

Dyna teleported in front of Sunset slamming her paws together on Sunset “Stop holding back, I want your best.”

Sunset sighed “Fine but be warned you have no idea just what I am capable of.” Sunset’s magic flared out as her body glowed her power sky-rocketing, portals in reality beginning to open from her mere presence.

Sunset took a deep breath “I’m just getting warmed up, I’m at about twenty percent right now. I must admit I haven’t had much time to train over the last couple of months but that fight with all those Mechas two months ago improved my stamina considerably and I put in about an hour of training in every day.”

Dyna sighed “The gap grows wider, I can’t win this. I long suspected as much, I’m starting to hit the upper limits of my potential.”

Sunset hugged the massive the Draconequus Queen “That’s not true, I was designed to be immensely powerful and my system adapts rapidly. I grow stronger in an hour more than most can in a year, I tend to stay out of events if I can help it. Trust me living a normal life is difficult.”

Dyna smiled “Thanks Sunset.” Sunset simply nodded, the two returned to the roof of the castle to watch the sun set. Two friends united despite their vast differences sharing in a simple moment of peace.

Sunset did say she had powerful friends.
