So, this is what Sunset Shimmer wants? So be it.

After finishing the video game Cuphead, Sunset Shimmer believed that the game was over... but it wasn't. At the very end, there was a message: "You thought it was over?" The game started to glitch. Although the screen was filled was static, a code was on the screen. She quickly wrote it down before the TV shut off. The code was: GBOEPN EQDMYX. She deciphered the code and it spelled out FANDOM FRENZY. "Hold up...", Sunset Shimmer said. She loaded up the game once again and went to a very specific location. As it turned out, an extra level was available, titled Fandom Frenzy, which had four phases and three bosses. "I knew it."

She started the level, but something was wrong... very wrong. The music playing was a distorted version of Brothers In Arms by DAGames (which would actually make sense because she's fighting horror bosses), and the first boss (the Marionette) was moving very unnaturally. The same could be said for the miniature Freddys and Bonnies. Nonetheless, the level played out normally, and despite the high difficulty, she made it past the first phase, though the fan presented an actual challenge, and it didn't help that Foxy's hook was sticking out of the curtain. However, a message appeared after the first phase: "You are a mistake."

The second boss (the Neighbor) was also moving unnaturally, and instead of glue jars, the weapons were jars of blood. Oh, and bear traps. Still, Sunset pushed through and made it past the second phase, alongside another message: "An abomination no one give a shit about."

After going through a nail-biting third phase, she made it to the fourth phase, where Bendy (and the Butcher Gang) waited. This phase actually looked normal, but the difficulty? Through the roof. The Butcher Gang were aggressive, and Bendy didn't help. Soon enough, the ink monsters melted away, where another message appeared: "KILL YOURSELF."

It turned out that she wasn't playing Cuphead... but a horror rendition that didn't kick in until after the extra level. She attempted to escape her house, but she was trapped. An extremely terrifying monster that resembled Cuphead crawled out of the screen and started to chase Sunset through the house. "Cuphead" fired actual bullets from his hands, but they were somewhat easy to dodge. As she avoided the monster, she tried to figure out what the messages meant. Maybe... they were directed towards her. Maybe coming to the human world was a mistake. Maybe she was an abomination no one gave a shit about before she reformed. Maybe killing herself was the only way to extinguish the beast. She found a Bendy mask and put it on. She then faced the monster... who backed away. She then remembered that Cuphead lost in his fight against Bendy in Death Battle Exhibition. Suddenly, the monster spoke some kind of incantation, unleashing the strangest-looking demons Sunset has ever seen. They resembled the first seven letters of the English alphabet. They possessed red glowing eyes, jagged teeth, masses of flesh and gums around their mouths, and black limbs and digits. The letter A was blue, had one eye in the part that covers the triangle space that should be in the middle of the letter and it's mouth was between it's legs. The Triangular shape attribute could be due to "A for Acute". The letter B was red, had feet, wings and one eye. It was the only letter that could fly. The Bat like attribute could be due to "B for Bat". The letter C was cyan, only had legs, had three eyes and it's mouth covered the entire interior of the letter. The Cyan color could be due to "C for Cyan". The letter D was yellow and had thorns facing outside where it's mouth should be. The "Naruto Run" attribute could be due to "D for Dash". The letter E was purple and had a mouth opened widely with a tongue extending outward attribute and that could be due to "E for Eat". The letter F was yellow and had only legs with lack of forelimbs, that attribute could be due to "F for Feet". The letter G was blue, had muscular arms, and it's mouth covered the entire interior of the letter. It was the only letter that had non-pointed teeth. The muscular attribute could be due to "G for Growth". Additionally, the sounds they made were enough to make, well, anyone laugh. The monster facepalmed itself, clearly wanting to summon more... dangerous creatures. These were a mistake. They were abominations no one gave a shit about... wait. Were the messages... directed towards these monsters? No. That couldn't be right. How was Cuphead connected to Satanism? She saw a message on the Bendy mask. She read it. It was a different version of some kind of chant from a campaign.

In the fiery pit of Hell lay a champion bold
May his arms be bathed in gold
Legend only tell of the woe he brings
To regain what they were foretold
For in the cave he stood
For he knew that the cave would flood
Yet he sung a song, to remind himself he belonged
With the beast that he understood
What would tell of the monster he found?
Was the beast in his blackened sight?
There's a demon in us all, unleash havoc on the wall
Bear your arms and be afraid...

The next thing Sunset knew, the Alphabet Letters and the monster were gone. Maybe she was wrong. She didn't need to kill herself. Still, she felt a demonic presence. She didn't know where it was coming from, but her heartbeat grew rapid. She had only one more choice. She took off the mask. She turned off the TV. She walked into the kitchen and grabbed a knife. She held the weapon in her hand. She then did something unbelievably horrifying. Sunset Shimmer... slit her throat. Her body fell to the ground, and all was peaceful.
