//-------------------------------------------------------// Off the Grid Season 5 -by Predator2525- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Episode 1 //-------------------------------------------------------// Episode 1 https://img.youtube.com/vi/uqgjTh35NQw/mqdefault.jpg Blood dripped in place of the souless. The upside down crosses were bathed in the darkness that coated the perfectly aligned tombstones nearby from all that had met their end here. The haunting sound's echoed throughout the void like place, followed by the scream's off the dammned. This was the Nightmare Realm, a twisted, fucked up hellhole that housed the most evil thing's in here. An axe was raised, and landed down, missing Sheriff Stryker who had dodged Bendy's attack. Stryker was worse for wear, and he was getting to the verge of submitting to the darkness within him, but he still had enough fight in him to keep going. https://camo.fimfiction.net/uaB9hXs8Eq6IUY4iCUBcrbqRduJlZJ-aTl-n2VtOgqs?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.gyazo.com%2Fcfab0c5e534a3d0132b801bb81173fd3.png Stryker fired his Nightmare fusion cannon attached to his arm, but Bendy used the blade of his axe to cut Stryker's shot's to pieces. The Ink Demon cackled, as Stryker charged up another shot, but felt a huge crank in his arm. "Oh crap it's jammed" He cursed, as Bendy charged at him with axe in hand. A loud grenadier shot nearby rang, as Bendy was knocked back hard, his axe shattering into glass from the powerful weapon. Stryker turned his head, and spotted Shift who was geared up in more new weaponry than before. https://camo.fimfiction.net/WAW5362849GV-AY3bas5zsoApti-Yt_UKLWh1JjXdTM?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.gyazo.com%2Fea407b958c96977d22d37cee624a70b4.png "Stryker...over here, let's go, let's go, let's go" Shift shouted, as Stryker quickly followed him. Bendy looked around, no longer finding his enemies, as he smiled. "You can run, but you can't hiiiiiiddeee....AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA" Bendy laughed, his laughter making a haunting echo, as Stryker, and Shift had a chance to take a breather. "That was a close one today, huh Sheriff?" Shift asked, as Stryker exhaled deeply. "It was Shift....I'm not sure how much longer we can keep hiding, or how much longer, before I turn" Stryker told him, feeling the bleeding ethereal darkness that was a part of his face, and bubbling inside him. "Yeeeaaahhh....." Shift sighed sadly, knowing how badly this mess they were in was, until he looked at Stryker. "....How do you think Pixel is doing out there?" Shift asked. "I know she's doing fine....I just hope she destroy's that blasted chalice" Stryker told her. ***** Pixel slept alone around the campfire that she made....the mare herself was still having Nightmares, but these weren't ones about Vampra, these were about her, and Stryker. She heard it again....Stryker's voice calling to her, as she was sleeping. "Pixel......Pixel.....PIXEL His voice shouted from the depth's of the Nightmare Realm. "STRYKER.....Stryker, where are you?" She asked on the verge of tear's, hoping that she hasn't been delusional all this time. "Destroy the cup....Destroy the cup....Destroy the cup.....Destroy the cup" Stryker echoed, as she took a good look at the cup, before the idea clicked into her head. "Destroying the cup, must be how to bring Stryker back.....I have to destroy it" She snarled, as she looked into the supplies of weapon's she had to destroy the cursed artifact. She placed the cup in front of her, and unsheathed the sword she still carried. "The pain you've caused IS OVER!!!!!!" She shouted boldly, as she raised her sword, and swung at the cup. The blade merely touched the cup, as an angry ethereal roar eminated from the artifact, before knocking Pixel across the room of the very gray, abandoned shack. Pixel only growled, as she looked in the supply truck, and pulled out a sniper rifle, and loaded some ammuntion into it. She raised the gun, and fired with skilled accuracy. The bullet bounced off the cup, and hit the wall next to her making a rather huge dent. She dugged into her bag once more, and threw an incenidary grenade at it, as it detonated with a huge explosion. "No...way" Pixel groaned, as the cursed chalice remained unscathed from both attempt's. She took the chalice, got into her truck, and headed into the wasteland's. "I have to find out more....it's the only way to honor everyone who has lost their lives to this wretched thing.....and I have to free Stryker from it's grasp" She told herself, as she drove faster than she ever could, hoping to get answer's. She went around asking many about the chalice. She asked a group of hooded men who had their own fire, and were dressed like cones. They had no info about the chalice at all. She even asked other Equestrian's who had fled The Grid from Regalias. They told her that the cup's creation did seem familiar, but didn't know much about it. She even asked other creatures that came from Vampra's original domain, only to find out that even they didn't have any answer's. She also asked some more knight's of the wastelands who wore Viking equipment who only said that their kind fought the Nightmare Realm demon's once, but didn't know anything about the chalice. Even an undead skeleton being who once escaped the Nightmare Realm knew nothing about the cup. She finally left a shop in a very deep, and shadowy part of the wasteland's, as she groaned. "Ugh..this is no use I know almost nothing more than when I started" Pixel sighed, until a rattling got her attention. "I can tell you, all you need to know....about the cup" A raspy female voice spoke, as Pixel immedietly saw, and recognized the female figure in front of her. "H-How did you....." She began, until the figure spoke again. "P-Pixel" The raspy creature spoke, as Pixel gasped. "VAMPRA!?!?!?!?!?!?" //-------------------------------------------------------// Episode 2 //-------------------------------------------------------// Episode 2 Vampra took Pixel to another old, abandoned shack nearby where she had been, after many recent setback's. Vampra had been feeding off energy maggot's to get some of her eletrical power back. Pixel just stood there, and watched her. Pixel could tell that Vampra did not have good luck, her body had been heavily fucked up. She still had been mostly intact, but her brutal wound's would say otherwise. Her throat had been clawed at, having to wear a metal collar to keep some of her voice intact, which explained the way she sounded. She also had deep gashes on her chest, arm's, stomach, and leg's, probably from that bitch that was all over Stryker the last time she saw him. https://camo.fimfiction.net/E3QAcbu2Y5J8q5iJ510uJs9zLFbHU4Q6leJLVK1Grtk?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.gyazo.com%2F0948686536b7f63f6580b4097536ed4e.png Pixel looked at Vampra surpised, as she spoke. "What...happened to you?" Pixel asked. "I payed a steep price for my quest for power, and I want my revenge.....and that cup is my key" Vampra told her, as Pixel snarled. "No Vampra...It must be destroyed" Pixel told her. "Do you think destroying it, will help you get what you've been chasing after? Why would you destroy the only key that can bring Stryker back....don't you want to save him? We have a common enemy Pixel, let's work together...to get what we both want. I faced her before...Pixel...y-you can't do this alone" Vampra told her flashing back to when she encountered Scarlett Twinkle. ***** Near the end of Season 3 Vampra had managed to keep the other being that was also after her, away from her after much of her torture. She still had some strength left, as she came face to face with Scarlett Twinkle near her destroyed base. Scarlett Twinkle spread her claw's ready to kill. Vampra charged, as Scarlett laughed, attacking with her fast Bladenado spin, knocking Vampra back, and cutting her with multiple wound's. Scarlett charged, as she pinned Vampra to the ground, desperately trying to kill her. Vampra's secret arm blade that was against her claw's, slipped, as Scarlett cut her throat. Vampra controlled some of the bleeding, and thank's to her mask was able to speak clearly, by patching her neck wound, and keeping some of her voice intact, as she growled. Scarlett Twinkle was knocked back by Vampra, as she laughed spreading her claw's. "AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....People were scared of you?" Scarlett insulted, as Vampra rushed at her, only to have her arm blade, blocked again by Scarlett's claw's. Scarlett headbutted Vampra who was flown back, crashing into a lot of steel with a harsh impact. "Too slow" Scarlett grinned. Scarlett retracted her claw's, as she smiled. "I win" She cooed, still wearing her big grin. Vampra looked over, and saw her scythe near arm's reach of her. She tried to reach for it, but Scarlett yanked the weapon away, realizing what her opponent was going after. "Yoink....I'lllll be taking that....ya' know, for safekeeping" She smiled. "AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA" Scarlett Twinkle laughed before dissapearring, and leaving Vampra for dead. ***** Present day "She must be stopped Pixel....and it's the only way you'll ever see your friend's again" Vampra told her, as Pixel looked at Vampra, trying to think hard about the best decision to make to save Stryker. ***** Stryker checked his power's, and weaponry before looking around, as both he, and Shift heard a bunch of loud roar's. "That can't be good" Shift realized. "Uh-oh" Stryker realized, as Bendy was nearby, and sent these creepy looking spiders made of flesh with their faces being that of a human's face....except with long.....sharp, pointy teeth, and with bleeding tiny red, and black eyes. "Go...Go....Go....Don't let them get away" Bendy ordered, as the sinister arachnid's pursued. "Sound's like we got company" Stryker told Shift, readying his cannon. "I'm on it" Shift told him, readying some weapon's, and traps. Not only were the spider's after them, but also Nightmare Chica, Foxy, and Freddy. All three animatronic's ran over a trip wire which pulled out massive pumped shot gun's, that blasted them with their powerful round's. Freddy's head was blown off, as the animatronic fell to the ground, twitched, and de-actiavted, yet the other animatronic's continued to pursue. The spider's also tripped over another wire, as AI mounted Ak-47's began firing with machine gun fire....clearly modified thank's to Shift. One gun fire shredded two spider's, as blood, and flesh like sap sprayed everywhere with a huge mess, staining the cursed ground. Stryker added a lot of support fire with his massive fusion cannon, trying to keep the monster's at bay. "Shift were gonna need a way outta here" Stryker warned. "Just need a little more time Sheriff" Shift replied, readying some of his weapon's just in case, while Bendy laughed, as a huge monstrous Flowey appeared behind him. "Times up boy's" Bendy grinned. //-------------------------------------------------------// Episode 4 //-------------------------------------------------------// Episode 4 Vampra waited patiently in the supply truck, as Pixel looked around, speaking to some of her fellow ponies to get some info of how to get there. Pixel then walked over to Vampra, and looked at her. "Alright, we're good to go" Pixel told her, as Vampra groaned. "Ugh...what took you so long?" Vampra groaned, as Pixel spoke. "I was getting direction's" She replied. "I gave you directions....don't you trust me?" Vampra asked with a soft coo. "NOT IN A MILLION YEARS VAMPRA!!!!!!!" Pixel shouted. "Don't be foolish Pixel....look at them, can you feel their treachery, their hatred?" Vampra asked. "I'm sure those feeling's are directed toward's you" Pixel pointed out. "I wouldn't be so sure" Vampra warned her, as Pixel sighed....got into the truck, and drove off. "With me out of the picture, Regalias has taken control to achieve his vision of power, which is a cause that died long ago, but power comes hand in hand with paranoia. His fear has prompeted him to spread his spies all over the land's, his henchmen roam freely, recruiting more, and more to serve him, and that spell's danger...for the both of us." Vampra explained, as the truck continued to roll on by. ***** Regalias had fallen very, very clearly. His base seemed more Nazi like than anything Adolf Hitler himself could ever do. The stallion's rule was very much different, but it was full of lies, and bribery, and with the blood of anyone who even had the slightest hint of treachery. He had what felt like absolute power, and order. He wanted every single land in the world, to be ordered, and run by him. His dark medal's, and cloak seemed to drip with tyranny over every single room he entered. Regalias rose over the tower, that he had recently constructed under his command. Two other platform's descended which revealed two dark red stallion's who were only loyal to him, and his cause, as he gave them his own salute. "Hail victory" Regalias told them. "HAIL HIGH LORD!!!!!!!" The two stallions shouted, as Regalias spoke. "Gentlecolt's it has occured to me that our security is rather flimsey" Reglias told them, as one of the stallion's spoke up. "Well sir, we've already alicated more than enough...." He spoke, until Regalias interrupted him. "I DID NOT ASK FOR YOUR INPUT GENERAL GODRICK!!!!!!" Regalias shouted. "My apologies High Lord" Godrick bowed. "I want more troop's to be stationed at every gateway....sufficiently armed to propel any potential attack" Regalias ordered. "Yes High Lord, we'll be fully prepared within 3 weeks" Godrick told him. "3 week's....make it 3 DAYS General" Regalias told him. "B-But High Lord....." Godrick began, until Regalias repeated himself. "3.....DAYS!!!!!" Regalias snarled at him, as Godrick decided to keep his mouth shut. "General Tarsaunus....." Regalias called out to the other general. "Yes my lord" He instantly replied, standing at attention. "You, and your forces are to remain on standby, we must be ready to deploy at full power at a moment's notice" He ordered. "It shall be done my lord" Tarsaunus replied. "I want The Grid's defenses fortified....nothing get's in, or out....do I make myself clear?" Regalias asked. "YES HIGH LORD!!!!!!!" The other two general's shouted. "Every citizen must be dedicated to the cause, we will crush any rebellion at it's root's, most importantly....I want these traitors brought back to me" He ordered, pointing to three wanted poster's of Stryker, Shift, and Pixel. He knew that they would attempt to de-throne him when they would come back. ***** Vampra, and Pixel drove along more ruin's, as Vampra let out a cold snarl. "I don't like this....it's too quite" She growled. "Don't jinx us like that, we're almost ther...." Pixel never even finished her sentence as a cannon, or tank blast struck the supply truck, and knocked the vehicle off the road. Pixel looked up from the wreckage, and groaned at who her target's were. "You've got to be kidding me" Pixel growled. "We've got company" Vampra told her, as in front of them were Pixel's own species, as a bunch of Equestrian ponies from The Grid stood in front of them, armed with gun's, and sword's. All of them wore the Nazi like suit's that had been identfied, as some of Regalias's men, one of them stepping forward to speak. "End of the line Pixel, your presence has been requested by High Lord Regalias" He warned her. "Did he just say....High Lord?" Vampra groaned with extreme annoyance. "Stay in the truck, I'll take care of this" Pixel told her, as she walked out with her sword in hand. "Come now Pixel, don't be fussy...let's not keep the High Lord waiting" The stallion told her, as Pixel raised her sword. "Regalias can wait" She told him. "Take her down" The stallion ordered, as the other ponies opened fire. Pixel used the speed of her sword to reflect two of the bullet's back, killing two of the other ponies. "Get her.....NOW!!!!!" The stallion roared, as the other ponies charged. Pixel charged at them, as she easily gutted them with her sword, against the poorly trained stallions, leaving the leader left. He grunted, as he pulled out a modified submachine gun, and began firing. Pixel was too fast, as she charged, and be-headed the pony with ease, before getting back into the truck. Vampra had watched the entire thing escalate, as she smiled. "Impressive Pixel" Vampra commented. "Oh shut up" Pixel growled, as she started the truck, and contiuned on toward's her destination. ***** A bunch of citizen's of The Grid looked at the wanted poster's of Regalias power, as they groaned. "I DON'T BELIEVE THIS!?!?!?!?!?!?" One mare shouted. "Stryker's a Hero not a Criminal" Another stallion growled. "I thought they were dead" One pony said. "They are....they've been gone for month's" Another replied. "This is just High Lord propaganda" Another groaned. "Keep it down, don't say thing's like that" A third warned. "There you go again with your conspiracy theories" Said a fourth. //-------------------------------------------------------// Episode 5 //-------------------------------------------------------// Episode 5 The lone fire continued to burn, as Stryker, and Shift hid in the darkest depth's of the Nightmare Realm. Shift looked at Stryker who had been silent recently, after Shift once again witnessed him fighting the dark monster that was now inside his mind. The two were quiet, and hadn't spoken, until a sigh from Shift broke the silence which got Stryker's attention. "You okay Shift?" Stryker asked. "Yeah...I'm fine, I'm just wondering how are we ever going to get home" Shift asked. "I'm not sure....but we're here because of her....so it need's to end with her" Stryker told him. "I remember when we first entered this twisted realm, and what she did to you the first time" Shift told him. ***** Also near the end of Season 3 The two yelled, as they fell through a portal that Scarlett Twinkle created when she found them. "HAHAHAHAHAHA.....Did I scare you boy's?" Scarlett asked. Stryker immedietly grabbed a twisted steel rod, and swung it super hard, smashing her head off. Scarlett's body crawled like a spider, and re-attached her head to her own body. "What do you want, I thought i told ya' to leave me alone" Stryker growled. "I thought I told ya' to leave me alone....AND WHAT, you'd thought I acutally listen to you?" She asked, slightly mocking him. "Uggghhhh" Stryker groaned. "Aren't you glad to see me?" She cooed seductively. "Get lost" Stryker snarled. "Sooo meeeaan....I even went out of my way to bring you a present" She cooed, her voice getting even more seductive. "I don't want anything to have that you offer" Stryker growled. "Reaaaalllly.....not even....." Scarlett began, before tackling Stryker to ground in a rather provactive position, grinding herself against his lap. ".....meeeeee" She cooed, as Stryker's eyes froze with fear. "W-what are you doing?" Stryker asked, as Scarlett gave him a mischevious grin, her claw's beginning to spread. "Don't worry this will be both painful....and pleasuring for both of us" Scarlett smiled, as the two went at it with Shift turning away, not wanting to watch. When he woke up, Stryker roared, as a new, darker side of him began to claw around in his mind. "WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME!?!?!?!?!?!? YOU GAVE ME YOUR WORD THAT YOU WOULD LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!!!!!!" Stryker shouted, as Scarlett giggled. "My word mean's jack squat, besides....you really are amazing, I think you'll be fine as my Prince" She cooed. "I.....AM......NOT YOUR PRINCE!!!!!!!!" Stryker shouted aiming his new fusion cannon at her. "Oooooohhh....it seem's like someone is taking much longer to be infected....that mean's there will be more day's of what we just had.....Yaaaaayyyy, playing games with my Prince, by the end, you will finally be aaaaaalllllll mine, but that doesn't mean I can test to see how powerful my Prince will be" She cooed, as she used her power's to re-activate the animatronic's from the Sister Location, as Stryker growled. "We're not your plaything's....Let us out of here....whereever here is" Stryker demanded. "Aaaawww....ever the fighter, BUT THIS IS MY WORLD, MY NIGHTMARE REALM!!!!!!!" Scarlett told him, as Shift was trying to wake himself up, as if he was asleep. "It's just a bad dream, it's just a bad dream....I'm gonna wake up anytime now" Shift told himself, hearing demonic laughter echo around him. "Aaaannny time now" Shift whimpered, as Bendy soon appeared, sending the anamtronic's after them, under Scarlett's command. "Oh fuck" Shift groaned, as he got closer to Stryker who heard the creatures around him. "It's time for the game to begin" Scarlett cooed, as both Shift, and Stryker began running, as Scarlett laughed. "It's either die, or be my Prince, Stryker....your choice" She smiled, as Stryker stopped a few inches with his fusion cannon firing at the animatronic's. "We need to find a way out of here" Stryker told Shift. "I'm looking, I'm looking......I found it, down here Sheriff" Shift told him, as they both were knocked aside by a huge beast. "WHAT.....THE.....FUCK......IS THAT!?!?!?!?!?!?!?" Stryker shouted, as a massive headless beast, made out of ponies who were alive, were fused together in a bloody, flesh monster with their organ's, and hearts still beating. The ponies were alive, and we're fused as part of this Nightmarish being. The headless beast roared which caused all the ponies to scream in agony, as being a part of this twisted form. "Look at the size of that thing" Shift told him. "Whatever it is.....we can't fight it now.....we need to go" Stryker told him, as the beast roared then started screaming violently, as it charged at them with the animatronic's following it. The two ran from the giant beast, and began their hellish day's in the Nightmare Realm. ***** Present "Whatever we do, we gotta move soon" Stryker told Shift, who remembered that day all to well. //-------------------------------------------------------// Episode 6 //-------------------------------------------------------// Episode 6 Pixel, and Vampra walked among the huge graveyard, looking for Scarlett Twinkle's grave, as Pixel lead the way. They came to the molesium, as Vampra spoke. "And here we are....her final resting place" Vampra told her, as Pixel looked at the run down area. "It doesn't seem like she's been resting much.....these door's are massive" Pixel gazed in wonder. "Use the cup" Vampra told her, as she raised the cursed chalice in her hand; the groud rumbled, and the huge door's in front of them opened, as female demonic laughter was heard from inside. "After you " Vampra suggested. Pixel walked in un-easingly, as she went deep inside with Vampra following her. "Look....that must be her grave" Pixel pointed out, as she went toward's it, and froze. Vampra was struck with confusion, as she approached Pixel. "Pixel?" She asked, as Pixel looked at the grave, dropping her sword in horror. "N-No....i-it c-can't be...this was your fate, this is what happened to you, when you left our people....no, how did I not see this, how could I recognize you? I thought that what you did to Stryker, what you did to all your vicitm's. I thought you were a heartless monster all this time.....but...all of what you have done, all of what you've been doing....all of it is not your action's. You were corrupted, just like they were when the Great Nightmare war started." Pixel hummed sadly, as she ran her hand over the name on the grave which was labled with two word's.....Twilight Sparkle. "Pixel what are you talking about?" Vampra told her. "Scarlett isn't the one in control of the Nightmare Realm....someone else is, and has been using her, as a puppet this entire time" Pixel told her. "WHAT!?!?!?!?!?!?" Vampra shouted in disbelief. "The story you told me was true, but there were part's about it that weren't true, and ones you didn't know yourself. The princess in your story was Twilight Sparkle, the leader of my people, and the place I came from.....Equestria. A long time ago....The Grid was replaced with Equestria, ruled by her best teacher's. Princess Luna, and Princess Celestia were watching over the world, with Twilight Sparkle next in line for the throne. All of them were gentle ruler's with Twilight Sparkle being with her friend's, and praised among our kind, but it didn't last long....." Pixel explained, as Vampra listened to her intently. "One day, a being of Nightmare's, possibly a very ancient version of the Nightmare Realm released two demon's who wanted to bring their warped twisted kind into our world for eternity, they corrupted Princess Celestia, and Princess Luna, turning them into their worst dark specter's......Nightmare Moon, and Daybreaker. It wasn't near Twilight's defeat where everything went wrong....but when she had nearly won the Nightmare War" Pixel told her. "How exactly do you know that?" Vampra asked. "Because I was there" Pixel answered. ***** Stryker, and Clint were both almost treating me most of time, like I was defenseless, but Stryker treated me more like an equal than Clint did. He even said that I would have potential to be his equal in the war, to which I had secretly joined. I was placed under Twilight's command, as "The Masked Mistress" A good gunslinger with my best special demon hunting pistol's one pink, and the other a pretty blue. I named them "Kiss, and Lust" they were my babies, and I could pack a punch. We had recieved word from Canterlot, the main castle where the head two princesses lived, that Stryker had killed Daybreaker. Nightmare Moon had gathered what little forces she had left, and hid in the Everfree forest, a cursed flora of life. She set up a defensive wall, as her last stand. We all chipped in to defeat her, but she was stubborn, and her wall would not fall Pixel raced past with her two gun's in hand, keeping the mask tightly on her face, as she fired relentlessly, spent shell's spilling out, as her bullet's rang out into the night sky. Many demon's continued to flock around the defense, her gun's rang with the bullet's that she emptied, as she used every skill she could to defeat them. She, and her team were doing their best to break through the defense. For a minute she froze, and checked her team. They were doing their best to break through, but the demon's were hardening their defense, and her team was starting to get wiped out. "KEEP PUSHING....WE HAVE TO BREAK THROUGH!!!!!!" Pixel shouted, as her gun's continued to ring, as she tore through her enemies, seeing the defense wall itself that was made of Nightmare magic. "I see it....I see the wall" She shouted, as she tried to reach it, gunning down, and pushing demons out of the way. "Mistress....they're pushing us back, and we're losing ponies fast....WE HAVE TO ABORT!!!!!!" A pony over the radio shouted, as Pixel turned on her radio, still gunning down as many demons, as she could before replying. "KEEP PUSHING.....WE'RE ALMOST THERE!!!!!!" She shouted. "Mistress, we're not gonna make it in time....WE WON'T GET TO THE WALL....If we don't fall back, we die" The pony shouted. Pixel froze for a minute, as she looked back at where her team was, and he was right....if they continued, she would make it to the wall, but that wall itself would be her grave. Pixel had an idea, as she jumped onto a rock, and leaped backward, firing a single bullet to the wall, to test how fortified it was. It made a huge hole in the dark magic area, but the wall still held. Pixel turned, and used whatever strength she had left to gun down more of the demon's flocking her teamates. "Everypony, fall back....we're not taking the wall again" Pixel told them, as her remaining troop's nodded. All of them went back with Pixel, passing through the first, and second lines of defense that had been broken through, and filled with the bodies of the deceased ponies, and dead Nightmare Demon's with blood staining the battlefield. ***** Pixel got back to their current outpost, as Twilight Sparkle was collabing with Pinkamena, and Rainbow Dash, the only one of her friend's left. She watched, as an angry Pixel came in, and flipped over a table, before shoving a knife directly into the map that Twilight was using to corral her forces. "2 FEET.....I WAS 2 FEET FROM THAT DAMM WALL!!!!!!!" Pixel shouted, as Rainbow Dash groaned. "You didn't break through?" Twilight Sparkle asked with suprise, as Pixel shook her head. "I could only get a bullet into the wall, but no....my team was flocked, and torn apart by the enemies defenses, and I was forced to retreat.....the wall is still holding, and so is Nightmare Moon's final defense" Pixel reported. "AAAAWWWW COOOMMMEEE OOOOONNNN WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO KILL THIS BITCH!?!?!?!?!?!?!?" Rainbow Dash shouted, punching the wall. Twilight Sparkle, put her hand over her face, as she let out a drained sigh, before speaking. "Rainbow, Pinkie, Mistress.....gather every single pony we have left with whatever artillery, and armor we can muster, we're going for one last full scale assault" Twilight Sparkle ordered, as Rainbow Dash, and Pinkamena all looked at her with concern. "B-But Twilight....we really aren't going to have much forces left, we can do a lot of damage, but how exactly will that help us tear down that wall?" Pinkamena asked. "Because we're joining the fight with the Mistress....one way, or another this war end's today" Twilight Sparkle told her, as she pulled out a royal spear weapon that was filled with her very own weaponized magic. "What if all of us don't make it?" Rainbow Dash asked, as Twilight Sparkle walked forward, hugging Pinkamena, and Rainbow Dash. "Then we'll all join Fluttershy, AJ, Spike, and Rarity in the afterlife....and we'll all be together...forvever" Twilight Sparkle smiled, as the last of the three friend's hugged for one last time. Pixel nodded, as she stuffed, as much ammo into her pistol's as possible to take on her enemies. ***** The entire army of Equestria.....mare's, and stallion's charged through with everything they had. Twilight Sparkle used massive discharging magic from her spear, to tear through the massive swarm of Nightmare Demon's. The defenses rank's were slowly being broken, as their sheer last assault was driving through the enemies. Rainbow Dash had her own weapon's, as she used her own pistol's through the rank's. Pinkamena used her knife, and was easily ripping through every demon, spilling their blood, and gut's all over the place with her laughing the whole way. They eventually got to the wall itself, as Twilight Sparkle channeled, as much magic as she could to breach the entire wall, her army closing in. The rest of the troop's engaged the army from the inside, as she, Pixel, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkamena all pursued to where Nightmare Moon herself was. The girl's immedietly came to a halt, as they each saw what was going on. Nightmare Moon herself had a portal open to the Nightmare Realm, causing constant demon's to flood out. "So....all of you are finally here....good, BECAUSE THIS PLACE WILL BE YOUR GRAVE!!!!!!!!" Nightmare Moon shouted, as she opened the door's more, making the place flood with demon's. All of the girl's fought with everything they had. Rainbow Dash, and Pixel's gun's burned with every bullet fired. Twilight fired, and channeled every inch of her magic to destroy each demon around her. Pinkamena's knife continued to tear through her enemies, as she fought with every bit of aggression, and insanity she could. However, it wasn't lasting. There were still way too many demon's that flooded the entire front castle, and the battle itself was coming to a close. Nightmare Moon cackled, seeing that she was going to win the war, even though her sister was defeated, her enemies were finally going to fall. Rainbow Dash growled, as she decided to put up one last fight. She pushed a demon against the wall, and smashed the end of her pistol into it, squeezing the trigger. Blood sprayed the wall, as the demon slumped to the ground with it's face in a mushy mess. Rainbow Dash immedietly cartwheeled in the air, and gunned more demon's down with ease. The Demon's continued to flock her, but Rainbow pulled out a grenade, pulled it's pin, and shoved it into one of the Demon's. Rainbow used her wing's to fly back, as she shot the grenade with a pistol, blowing up a bunch of demon's with blood raining all over the place. Another charged from the right, only for her to kick it hard into the face, pin it to the ground, and riddling it with bullet's, Rainbow Dash quickly used her speed to spin in fast circles, firing her pistol's rapidly, spewing bullet's everywhere. Many demon's were torn apart, as she fought....shouting the whole way. Rainbow quick shot another on the right, and then another on the left....until she felt it. A loud slicing sound was heard, as one of the demon's claw's impaled her through the back. Rainbow Dash gasped, as blood dripped from her mouth, as another demon claw, impaled her through the heart, as Rainbow Dash dropped to her knees. One final claw went through her eye, as her mouth opened in a silent scream. Rainbow Dash fell to the ground, darkness taking her vision, and her pistol's dropping to the ground, signaling her demise. "RAIIINBOOWWW!!!!!!!" Pinkamena screamed, as she gave it her all. She charged toward a demon, and stabbed it with her knife, before slashing so fast, turning the demon into a gory mess. Blood was heavily stained on Pinkamena, but she didn't care. Pinkamena grabbed another demon, and with all her strength, she ripped the demon in half with her bare hand's. She immedietly re-adjusted the knife in her hand, and instantly sliced another demon's head off, as it collapsed to the ground dead. She stabbed another approaching her from behind, as she gutted the demon, letting blood spill out of it like a flowing river. She shoved her knife in another demon's eye, as she ripped the eyeball out of it's socket. She used the rest of her knife to quickly shred the demon with ease. Pinkamena used her blade to cut another demon into three pieces, as it squealed, by her wrath. Pinkamena attacked, and killed as many as she could with her knife, pinning her enemies to the wall, and gutting them like cupcakes. Pinkamena was soon surrounded, as a bunch of demon's managed to pin her down, and hold her into place, as multiple blades cut through her, as she screamed. When the demon's were done, blood leaked from multiple wound's in her back, as Pinkamena had instantly bled to death. "TWILIGHT.....WE'RE NOT GOING TO WIN THIS.....THIS IS THE END!!!!!!!" Pixel shouted, as Twilight saw her two best friend's deceased, leaving her alone. Pixel was correct, Nightmare Moon had the demon's still coming, and they weren't going ot survive this. Twilight couldn't accept defeat, all of her friend's death's would be for nothing, she had to end the war here....and then it came to her. Twilight used her magic to create what would later be the tainted chalice of the Nightmare Realm. Currently, it was something else. She used the chalice to fill it with her own magic, and then drank it instantly. It gave her the magic she needed, as Twilight turned to Nightmare Moon. "I.....wish to surrender Nightmare Moon" Twilight told her, as Nightmare Moon smiled. "Good, but I'd rather have killed you anyway, but I do want you to watch, as I kill your friend.....do come closer" Nightmare Moon smiled. Twilight got as close, as she needed to be....and then sprung her final plan. With all her might...Twilight Sparkle charged at Nightmare Moon, and impaled her through the stomach, knocking her, and Nightmare Moon into the dark depth's of the Nightmare Realm. "TWILIGHT....WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?!?!!?!?!?!?" Pixel shouted, seeing Twilight in the realm itself. Twilight Sparkle growled, as she channeled all her magic into the realm itself, creating a very powerful seal to keep the Nightmare being's, and Nightmare Moon from roaming the mortal world forever. "HELP ME SEAL THE DOOR BEHIND ME....IT IS THE ONLY WAY!!!!!!!" Twilight Sparkle shouted. "NOOOOOOO!!!!!!" Pixel shouted, trying to claw through the demon's that continued to keep her at bay. "Pixel......" Twilight told her, as Pixel stopped in her track's, hearing her name. The demon's stopped attacking her, feeling the spell take it's toll on them. Pixel walked through the demon horde, as she took off the mask she wore, that hid her identity for so long. She put her hand on the portal which now acted, as a mirror, meaning the portal was going to close soon. "How did you know?" Pixel asked, as Twilight let out a small laugh. "I got the chance to observe you when you had your day's off....you wanted to be your own mare, but you also wanted to be the equal of the stallion you love" Twilight told her, as Pixel blushed a little, thinking about Stryker. "If you knew....why didn't you tell anybody?" Pixel asked. "Becasue my friend's, and I trusted you....you have a very good heart Pixel, one as gold as Fluttershy, and Rarity's when they were still around.....I know that maybe one day, you will be a good leader, or a mare with a good heart. I hope one day, you, and Stryker will be together" Twilight told her, as Pixel blinked. "How did you know his name?" Pixel asked, as Twilight blushed, despite the spell she was casting. "I did have a bit of a crush on Stryker, but he seem's to have only eyes for you" Twilight told her, as Pixel chuckled. "He is quite cute isn't he...not to mention his scarlet colored skin" Pixel cooed, as both mare's giggled, but it was short lived. "Please Twilight....don't do this" Pixel told her, tear's starting to roll down her face. "Take care of what's left for me" Twilight Sparkle shouted, as she channeled all of her magic into the seal, a loud boom was heard, as all of the war weapon's, tanks....and many other vehicles, along with the other's were thrown near the edge of the Everfree, as the entire world of Equestria was swallowed into the ground. Twilight Sparkle's spell ended, and she was gone. ***** "After that we cut down the rest of the Everfree forest, and as the year's went buy....it became The Grid, our safe haven, and I never saw her again." Pixel told Vampra who had listened to the entire story. "That explain's a lot, I'm guesssing after she had sealed herself, the spell must of cursed her...." Vampra realized. "And if she's still alive, Nightmare Moon has used this curse to her advantage, controlling her for own benefit's" Pixel finished, as Vampra realized something. "Of course, that's why Scarlett has been able to go from the real world, and back....she's trying to break the seal again, and with Stryker I'm guessing when she get's you, she'll have everything" Vampra realized. "I have to try, and free her from her curse" Pixel told her, as she began to obsevre the fake grave. Vampra looked around, and noticed that the place itself seemed eerie, and too quite. "Proceed with caution Pixel" Vampra told her, as Pixel let out a sigh, as she turned to her with a bit more trust in Vampra, as she replied. "You don't have to tell me" Pixel replied, as she was about to put the cup on the grave when she stumbled, as a bunch of maggot's ran past her. The chalice rolled, until it came to a stop in front of giant skull armored hellknight's. The being's were activated, as two of them stood up. "What the....." Pixel realized, as Vampra spoke. "Sentinel's....her loyal guardian's that were sworn to protect her....in both life, and in death....at least that's what they're suppose to be, until you told me that story" Vampra grumbled, as Pixel unsheathed her sword, and spoke. "These used to be two of her royal guard's back in the day....now, they are corrupted, like her" Pixel snarled, as she looked at the Sentinel. "YOUR IN MY WAY!!!!!" She growled, fed up with everything, as Vampra sighed. "Ugh....here we go" Vampra groaned. The Sentinel attacked, as Pixel blocked the mighty being with her sword, before forcing his blade into a pillar, and quickly sliced it's hand off that held the sword. The Sentinel looked at it's chopped off hand then gave Pixel a powerful punch, knocking her back. Pixel leaped high, and sliced off the Sentinel's head. It's energy transfered into another Sentinel statue nearby, as it activated....turning to Pixel. The second Sentinel pulled out two sword's, as it attacked Pixel who blocked each attack from both blades. Pixel quickly used her skill's to disarm it, and then sliced it's head off. The energy of the second Sentinel jumped to a third that had a big axe, as it came to life, looked at Pixel, and then stood up at it's towering height. Vampra noticed a huge piece of a gun turret laying on the ground. The Sentinel raised it's axe, while Pixel raised her sword keeping the blade close to her. A loud gunshot rang, and the Sentinel fell down, torn from the huge bullet that was fired. Pixel turned to Vampra, as she lowered the turret, and looked at her light heartedly, but a bit annoyed. "Your welcome" She groaned. Pixel walked back to the grave with Twilight's name on it. "Place the cup on her grave" Vampra ordered, as Pixel placed the cup on the grave. "Nothing's happening.....why is nothing happening?" Pixel asked. Vampra only remianed silent, as she growled knocking the cup aside. "UUUUGGGHHHH ....LET MY FRIEND'S, MY LOVER.....AND TWILIGHT OUUUUTTT, LET THEM OUT, LET THEM OUT, LET THEM OUT, LEEETTT THEEEMMM OOOOUUUTTTT!!!!!!" She cried, as she destroyed the grave, and the entire place collapsed beneath them, as Vampra, and Pixel crossed into the dark hell of the Nightmare Realm. Pixel let out a groan, as she woke up in darkness, near rubble. She stood up, and saw the bodies of deceased ponies with their blood all over the place frightnening her. "GAAAHH....WHAT IS THIS!?!?!?!?!?!?!?" Pixel shouted. "Ah...so you've finally come to, thank's to your tantrum, we have entered the realm itself" Vampra told her, as Pixel looked at the gorely shredded bodies of her kind. "T-This....this is awful, how could I have let this happen to her....to them" Pixel gasped, as Vampra scoffed. "Oh come now Pixel, it's nothing you haven't seen before, remember all the good times we....." Vampra began, before Pixel interrupted her. "Shut up.....SHUT UP.....YOUR HORRIBLE, AND SO IS NIGHTMARE MOON!!!!!!!" Pixel shouted. "What do you expect from a cursed friend who is forced to feed on the soul's of the innocent, the pure of heart?" Vampra asked, as Pixel let out a deep sigh. "It's just.....not like this" Pixel whimpered, doing her best not to cry, as Vampra spoke. "The only way to make sure their death's weren't in vein is to destroy her, or free her" Vampra told her. ****** In the Nightmare Realm...Shift, and Stryker felt the rumble of the place, as Vampra, and Pixel were now crossing over into the realm. "What the fuck is going on, did you hear that....what is that?" Shift asked, as Stryker noticed, his corruption was now less than what it was earlier. "I don't know...but it just might be our ticket out of here" Stryker smiled, ready to leave this hellhole.....after all this time. //-------------------------------------------------------// Episode 7 //-------------------------------------------------------// Episode 7 Regalias stood in front of an engineer who wanted to show him his recent, and unique design of a weapon he built. "I think you'll be quite pleased with what we have prepared today, activate the armored personal unit." The small pony ordered, as another pony piloted, a recently built mech that had massive dual machine gun's on each hand, ready for battle. "Well sir, what do you think?" The pony asked. "I like it, I want one posted on every Grid front" Regalias ordered. "Sir, we don't have the raw material's to produce that many unit's....this unit alone single handedly depleted all our resources" The stallion told him. "You need not to worry about the cost's, I will make sure you get the resources you require" Regalias told him. "Um....if you say so" The stallion shrugged, as a pony soldier stepped into the room. "High Lord Regalias, we believe we have located Pixel" The soldier stated. "WHAT, WHERE!?!?!?!?!?!?" Regalias demanded. "We believe we spotted her outside The Grid traveling with an unidentified hooded figure" The soldier told him, as the other soldier that also went into the room spoke. "We also detected unusally high energy levels coming from the area" The soldier reported. "Is that so....Send a retrieval team immedietly....Capture her, do not let her escape" Regalias ordered. "Yes High Lord" The soldier's replied. ***** Nightmare Chica roared, as she looked around the area of the Nightmare Realm for Stryker who was silently hiding behind a certain area. Nightmare Freddy, and Foxy followed her with Bendy the Ink Demon arriving behind them. "Come out, come out wherever you are" Bendy cackled, as he, and the other's passed him, with Flowy following him. "How have we not found two ponies yet?" Flowey asked. "I agree this is taking so long that it's grinding my hooves....HAHAHAHAHAHA...get it, 'cause we're looking for ponies AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!" Bendy cackled, as Flowey groaned. "Ugh....spare me" Flowey groaned. Bendy cackled, as he moved on. "Continue the search, I'll let the boss know what's up" Flowey replied, pulling out a telephone, and ringing a number. Scarlett Twinkle dangled from a high roof of the realm, answering the call, upside down. "HEEELLLOOOO!!!!!!" She shouted into the phone. "Boss it's me" Flowey told her, as Scarlett replied. "Me who?' She asked. "It's me Flowey....the flower" He told her. "Ooooohhh yeeeeaaahhh, the flower guy did you find the pony, and my prince yet?" Scarlett asked. "Uh...no...not yet, but we're hot on their tail" Flower answered. "Oh goody....you'd better....." She told him, as she rotated her entire body, going from upside down, to standing up normaly, breaking more bones in her body. "......OR YOU'LL BE SORRY!!!!!!!" Scarlett Twinkle shouted before throwing the phone from the highest area to the ground, shattering it into little pieces. "Uhm.....right....roger that" Flowey replied who hung up the phone awkwardly. Stryker ran to Shift with both of them hiding, as they heard a few roar's in the distance. "You ready for this Shift?" Stryker asked. "Just about done here" Shift told him, holding up a massive gun. "Alright, sit tight....here goes nothing" Stryker told him. "Good luck Sheriff" Shift warned. Stryker ran out into the open, as Bendy spotted him. "Ah.....pony 12:00" Bendy shouted, as the Nightmare animatronic's immedietly pursued after him. Stryker raised his fusion cannon, as he looked at the two bomb's that were place behind nearby pillar's, as he spoke. "SHIFT DO IT NOW!!!!!!!" Stryker shouted. "Say goodnight" Shift smiled, triggering the C4 detonation, Stryker was knocked down through the rubble, but all the Nightmare animatronic's were caught in the blast, destroying, or de-activating them for good. Stryker groaned, as he got up from the blast, as Shift spoke. "STRYKER....TAKE COVER!!!!!!!!" Shift shouted, as he did just that. From the rubble, Flowey emerged unscathed. "Nice try little pony, but you're going to have to TRY A LITTLE BIT HARDER THAN THAT!!!!!!!!" Flowey roared in his demonic voice. "Ah shit look's like I missed one" Shift groaned. "Aren't you gettin' tired of runnin' well have your fun....'CAUSE IT WON'T LAST MUCH LONGER....'cause you see she's coming for you Stryker, she's already here......yeeeeaahh that's right the pink one, what was her name.....oooohhh yeeeaahhh, PIIIIXXXEEELLLL!!!!!!!" Flowey shouted. "DON'T LISTEN TO THAT DUMB FLOWER STRYKER HE'S JUST MESSING WITH YOU!!!!!!!!" Shift warned. "What a fool, how can she save you....WHEN SHE CAN'T EVEN SAVE HERSELF....won't stop us from having a little fun with her" Flowey cackled. "RRRRRRRRRRRRRRR" Stryker growled, rage boiling in his blood, amplifiying his Nightmare curse, as he lept out in front of Flowey, cannon raised. "YOU TAKE THAT BACK!!!!!!!!!" Stryker shouted, as he was about to fire, but immedietly dodged an attack from Bendy. Stryker immedietly got up, and fired a very powerful discharged shot. Bendy's axe was shredded, and another blast blew his face apart, ink spilling all over the place, as he fell to the ground motionless. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.....Face it Stryker, you, and your friend.....YOU ARE DOOOOMMEEEDDD!!!!!!!" Flowey shouted, as Shift revealed himself, pulling out his gun. "You need to keep your mouth shut" Shift told him, and fired a powerful incinidary round, which began to burn Flowey, as he let out a strange cry, until he emerged with the flamed around him. "Just kidding" He grinned, as Stryker gasped. Flowey then used all of his power, becoming in his gigantic twisted flower form, as he cackled. "NOW YOU DIIIIIIEEEEE!!!!!!" He roared, as Shift looked at Stryker. "SHERIFF WE NEEED TO GET OUTTA.....OOOOHHH!!!!!" Shift stuttered, as a headless Bendy used it's power to fuse the destroyed animatronic's with its body creating a new form. "Oh dear fuck" Shift groaned, as a nameless mostrosity of metal, and ink rose as a new demented Bendy rose from the ashes, having many messed up claw's with an unrecognizble face, and it's chest being able to open, and act like a giant teethless mouth, as he spoke in a disturbing demonic voice. "YOUR GONNA PAY FOR THAT YOU.......PUNY.......LITTLE......POOOOONNNYYY AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH" Bendy screamed. "This is bad" Stryker realized, back to back with Shift. "Really bad" Shift agreed, as both demon's charged. ***** On the other side of the realm, lightning was heard, as Pixel, and Vampra felt the jolt after their bodies, and eyes adjusted to the realm, fully being in the place now, as they looked around determined to find Stryker, and Shift....but also to end this once, and for all. //-------------------------------------------------------// Episode 8 //-------------------------------------------------------// Episode 8 The huge wall to The Grid opened, as Regalias forces in jeep's, and a Humvee with a machine gunned manned by Godrick, all were going to head to Pixel's last position. "All forces, move out" General Godrick ordered, as the vehicles departed in search of Pixel. Inside the main headquarters, a soldier walked up to Regalias, and spoke. "General Godrick, and the retrieval team have departed for Pixel's co-ordinates" The soldier told him. "Very good....prepare The Grid for broadcast" Regalias ordered, as he appeared in front of the ponies of The Grid to speak to the citizen's, with military flare. "Many month's ago, Stryker abandoned The Grid in order of a mis-sparkening....to rescue a single pony. He compromised the safety of the entirety of The Grid. He has meddled with forces beyond his understanding, and in doing so.....he has threatened the very balance of magic that has kept our world alive. We stand on the edge of anihilation, but fear not....for I, stand between your safety, and the danger's looming just outside our wall's. Everything I do is to ensure the preservation of the peace we all love, and enjoy....." He spoke, as one of the pony's in the audience turned to another. "Regalias is getting seriously deranged" A pony told him. "Yeah he need's to calm down" The stallion agreed with the other. "....But do not take that for granted, we must remain vigilante, and on guard, as I speak a retrevial team has been deployed to ensure the capture of one of Stryker's accomplice....a traitor to The Grid. They will be brought back to The Grid, and they will face justice for their action's....believe in The Grid, The Grid...is safe" Regalias concluded, and ended the broadcast, after two stallion's had listened to the radio. "This is getting out of hand" One stallion told the other. "Someone's gotta stop Regalias" The other agreed, as they were both talking one of Regalias's loyal follower's overheard the entire conversation of the two ponies. "What if we stopped him?" The stallion asked. "Us?" The second stallion asked, confused. "Yeah, we'll start a rebellion, gather other's that believe in our cause" The stallion explained. "We aren't heroes" The stallion told him. "We got to make a stand against this injustice" The other stallion told him, as the Regalias follower, pulled up a radio. "I got two deviant ponies, proceeding to neutralize them" The pony ordered, pulling out a gun, and shooting one of the ponies in the head, as blood sprayed everywhere spooking the other pony. "Opposing the High Lord is a capital crime" The pony ordered. "Don't you see what Regalias is doing is wrong?" The pony tried to tell him, as the other pony scoffed. "The High Lord's order's are....." He paused, raising the gun, and pointing it at the other pony. ".....absolute" He finished, as he fired the gun, as the other stallion was pleading for him not to shoot, but death met him all the same. After the murder had finished, he turned on the radio, speaking to the high command. "Requesting pickup in Grid Sector 7b, I've neutralized 2 ponies in need of.....cleansing" The pony ordered. ***** General Godrick's men were being watched, as their vehices traveled through many dirt road's, unaware of the presence spying on them, as a turret was hidden behind the group. A mare in a helmet watched their every move, as she herself had been in what seemed like a random spot in the wasteland's. "Aaaaannnddd here they come" She grinned, as she watched them move. She had a shield with a gun attached to it, and a small cannon attached to her arm. The turret that had spotted them, had opened fire alerting General Godrick. "Enemy contact....split up" General Godrick ordered, as all the vehicles did as such. Two more gun turret's appeared, as a pony on one of the jeep's was torn apart, by the machine gun fire with him falling off the turret he was manning. Another gun turret appeared, and fired on the same jeep, as the driver screamed, his out of control burning jeep driving into a wall, and exploding in a blast of hot, twisted scrap metal. A jeep stopped, as Godrick's jeep collided with him, as he growled. "Why are we stopping?" Godrick asked, as the pony in front of him, pointed to the masked mare in front of their vehicles. Godrick himself scoffed, as he jumped of the jeep, and spoke. "Youuuu....How dare you defy the will of The High Lord...the punishment for defiance is death" Godrick snarled. The pony said nothing, but fired her cannon near him, as Godrick growled. "All unit's prepare for combat" Godrick ordered, as all of them got out of their jeep's, and pointed their gun's at her, while he raised his pistol. "Fire" He ordered, as they all fired their assault rifles, and pistol's at the masked mare. She merely blocked all of their shot's with her shield not even moving from her spot. She quickly pulled out the gun on her shield, and fired it at the jeep, and a nearby barricade. She then raised her hand, as with a strange magnetic force....the bullet's embedded in both the barricade, and jeep moved the item's forward, crushing the two ponies in a smoosh of blood. The other two ponies looked at each other in suprise, until Godrick spoke. "What are you fool's standing around for.....SHOOT HER!!!!!!" He shouted, as the other's raised their weapon's, only for the mare to fire her cannon at both of them, making their head's explode in a shower of blood, and brain matter. "Wait....wait....I surrender" Godrick shouted, throwing his gun aside, and raising his arm's in the air. "Where is Pixel?" The mare asked. "I-I don't know" Godrick stammered. "Oh I think you do" The masked mare cooed. "You don't know what you're talking about" Godrick huffed. "Youv'e got three seconds" She warned, as she began charging up a deadly blast from her cannon. "WAIT....I'LL TALK....SHE'S AT THE ABANDONED CATHEDRAL!!!!!!!" Godrick shouted, right as the charged cannon fired, and vaporized it completely. The last jeep which still had one of Regalias's men inside, drove back to base to report to Regalias, while the mare headed to the direction's Godrick had given her before she killed him. ***** "THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!!!!!!!" Regalias shouted angrily, hearing the recent news. "Sir, report's say that she was armed with state of the art Grid tech weaponry" General Tarsaunus reported. "I don't care if she was armed with a pebble...general this failure is unacceptable. I pulled the sentries off our street's, and out of our armed forces to show the citizen's....that ponies alone could protect The Grid.....I was wrong, silence any word about this....retrieval mishap" Regalias ordered. "As you wish High Lord" General Tarsaunus bowed, as he walked off. "And contact our new friend, it's time we put our problem's into more capable hand's." Regalias ordered. //-------------------------------------------------------// Episode 9 //-------------------------------------------------------// Episode 9 The chilling death's of the Nightmare Realm was almost all the same with it's eerie existence, the unholy sound's were heard crying, and singing in the distance with the graves of those who had met their end here in what used to be Equestria, before what Pixel explained, transpired. Pixel looked from a high above area, before jumping down with Vampra nearby. "It's so quiet here....." Pixel told Vampra, before shivering a bit, as she shuddered. "....and so cold" She told her. "Don't expect it to stay quiet for too long, if you wanna see your lover again...keep it moving Pixel" Vampra told her. "WHERE DO I EVEN START, LOOK AT THIS PLACE!!!!!!!" Pixel shouted, looking around te vast emptiness around them. "Reach out to him Pixel" Vampra told her. "HOW!?!?!!?!?" Pixel asked. "Use your feeling's Pixel....your love for Stryker....seek the light within this sea of darkness" Vampra told her. "I-I'll try" Pixel replied, as she used her feeling's to find Stryker. ***** Shift fired his weapon rapidly, at the fused Bendy creature, as it growled, and then charged. The beast grabbed him with an ink claw, before throwing him against the wall, as it vanished into the shadow's. The beast roared, as it sprouted a fused tentacle from it's back, and struck, as Stryker got Shift out of the way from it's sinister grasp. "COME ON WE NEED TO GO!!!!!!!" Stryker shouted, as the two of them ran, while the Bendy creature screamed.....chasing after them. "I think were ok now....what happened to the flower?" Shift asked. "I managed to lose him.....for now" Stryker replied, as Shift panted. "I'm running on fumes, I don't know how much longer I can keep this up" Shift told him. "WE CAN'T GI......." Stryker started to shout, but froze mid-yell, as he felt Pixel calling to him. He could sense her, he could feel her reaching out to her, hearing a sound coming to him. "What's that sound?" Stryker asked. "What sound?" Shift asked. "THAT sound" Stryker answered. "I...uh....don't hear anything" Shift told him. "The sound...this sound, this feeling...it's so familiar" Stryker told him, following his feeling's. "Strange noises aside, let's set up at our nearest weapon's cache there is....uh....Sheriff?" Shift asked, seeing him walk to where Pixel was. "S-Sheriff wait up" Shift shouted, following Stryker. ***** "I FOUND HIM!!!!!!!!" Pixel gasped. "Where is he?" Vampra asked. "H-He's headed this way, I was able to call out to him" Pixel told her, until Vampra heard a ringing sound, as she sighed. "He's not the only thing you've called out too" Vampra told her. "Huh?" Pixel asked, as at the far side of The Nightmare Realm....a little girl's laughter echoed throughout the dark hell, as Scarlett Twinkle rose from her eerie slumber where she was. "Oooooohhhh, we've got some new plaaaayyyeeeerrr'ssss" She cackled, spreading her claw's. "Twilight's coming" Vampra told Pixel. "WHAT....HOW!?!?!?!?!?!?!?" Pixel asked. "You are the brightest light in this realm of darkness....." She told her, as cackle's, giggle's, roar's, and scream's echoed throughout the Nightmare Realm, with all the demon's converging on her destination. "....like moth's to a flame" Vampra answered. "GET MOVING!!!!!" Vampra shouted, as the two began running. ***** Shift was panting heavily, running with Stryker who was running really fast. "SHERIFF.....*pant* *pant* WHERE ARE WE GOING!?!?!?!?!??" He shouted. "SHIFT I CAN HEAR HER!!!!!!!!" Stryker said estatically. "The crazy pony?" Shift asked, thinking about Scarlett Twinkle. "No not her....PIXEL!!!!!!!!" Stryker shouted. "What...that's impossible" Shift told her. "I know, but she's here, I can feel it" Stryker told him, as one of those human flesh spider's, jumped out to attack, only for a gunshot from Shift to make it's blood, and gut's spray everywhere. Another approached, as Stryker fired his fusion cannon at another making another explode, as more demon's came out. One of them being similar to the spider, but more humanoid, with spider leg's for hand's. Shift fired his cannon at it, which did nothing to the demon. "Uh....Sheriff?" Shift asked, as Stryker growled. "HANG ON!!!!!!" Stryker replied, as he raised his cannon, and charged only for it to smack him to the ground. Stryker roared, as he prepared to fire another shot, until Pixel's sword was thrown toward's the demon, and impaling it into it's face, as it collapsed to the ground dead. "Huh....that sword" Stryker gasped. Pixel immedietly grabbed her weapon, and raced passed him, as she began cutting another demon apart that had charged at Shift. "Huh....Pixel?" Stryker gasped, as Pixel turned to him, sheathing her sword. "Stryker?" Pixel asked. "PIIIIIXXXXEEEELLLLL" Stryker shouted overjoyed. "STRRYYYYKKKEEERRR!!!!!!!!" Pixel cried happily, as the two ran together, and embraced each other happily. Pixel laughed, and giggled with joy, before Stryker looked at her. "Pixel what are you doing here, how are you even here.....th-his place is dangerous...." Stryker was cut off, by Pixel's loving kiss, as she let out a blissful gasp, enjoying his lip's once more before the two seperated, as she smiled. "I couldn't go on without you" Pixel told him, with tear's of joy leaving her eyes. "And here I thought the Sheriff was finally giving in to his dark side" Shift smile, shaking his head. "SHIFT!!!!!!!!" She smiled, remembering him from when they defeated Vampra. "Good to see you Pixel, thank's for coming to rescue us" Shift smiled. "Of course, I wasn't gonna leave you guy's here" Pixel told him, as Stryker immedietly spotted Vampra who had appeared behind Shift. "GAAAHHH WATCH OUT PIXEL!!!!!!!!" Stryker shouted, pointing his cannon at her. "STRKER NO.....She's.....with me" She stuttered. "With you?" Stryker asked confused, as Pixel calmly lowered his cannon. "She helped me get to this world" Pixel explained. "That's right fool....if it weren't for me she'd still be running in circles" Vampra smiled. "I thought I destroyed you" Stryker growled. "You wish" Vampra growled. "You know what....." Stryker growled his dark sided part of him that Scarlett Twinkle infected him with choosing to surface, as his voice turned demonic, and his appearance changed. "...ROUND 2 LET'S GO, NOW!!!!!!!!" Stryker demanded, as Vampra sighed. "As much as I want to put you in your place, we've got bigger issues to worry about, plus it's very clear that what this Twilight has done to you Stryker, you are not yourself" Vampra explained, "T-Twilight....Twilight Sparkle" Stryker gasped, as he turned back to normal. "The only one who has been after us was Scarlett Twinkle" Stryker told them. "TWILIGHT IS SCARLETT TWINKLE.....I'll explain later STRYKER!!!!!!!" Pixel told him, at that moment a loud rumbling was heard, as some of the realm itself had shifted around them, boxing them in, and creating an arena. At that moment a door opened, and Scarlett Twinkle appeared. "Wooooooowwww....I didn't know there was a pony party going on...gee Stryker....THANK'S FOR THE INVITE!!!!!!!!" Scarlett growled, as she spread her claw's ready to end this. //-------------------------------------------------------// Episode 10 //-------------------------------------------------------// Episode 10 Regalias, and his men stood in front of a large entrance, waiting to meet their mystery contacter who should have shown up rather recently. "General....what's taking so long?" Regalias asked. "He should be here any moment now my lord" General Tarsaunus reported, as a loud metal clang was heard, as the Megatron that encountered, Stryker, and Raptus a long time ago entered the area. "Filthy....little......PONIES!!!!!!!" He roared. "Your in the presence of The High Lord, HOW DARE YOU ADRESS HIM IN THAT TONE!!!!!!!" General Tarsaunus shouted, as Megatron pulled out his built in flamethrower, while the other ponies aimed their gun's at him, including the general. "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING!?!?!?!?!?!?!?" The General shouted, as Megatron's flamethrower fired it's deadly flames forcing the ponies to get down. He then stopped using the flamethrower, and put the weapon away. "Gaaahhh...as the one paying you, it'd be nice to show some respect" Regalias stated calmly. "You think I care about the money?" Megatron asked. "B-But, I've payed you a small fortune" Regalias stammered. "And you think this gives you power over me....FOOOLL, the money mean's NOTHING to me. I have a score to settle with Stryker, and I will squash him like the vermin he is, along with anyone he hold's dear" Megatron snarled. ***** "GAAAHHHH, Everyone be on guard, this is her world" Stryker growled, aiming the fusion cannon at Scarlett. "SHUT UP STRKER!!!!!!" Vampra growled. "Your....even.....worse than I thought" Pixel stammered, staring at what used to be the mare she served long ago. "Weeeeellll if it isn't Vampra" Scarlett Twinkle smiled. "You have something that belong's to me" Vampra snarled. "Uuuuuuhhh no I don't" Scarlett told her. "GIVE ME BACK MY SCYTHE!!!!!!!!!" Vampra asked angrily. "Ooooohhh thaaaattt....I think I threw that away" Scarlett smiled innocently. "HOW DARE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!" Vampra shouted with pure rage in her voice. "AHAHAHAHAHA.....your so pathetic" Scarlett smiled, bringing up her claw's. "Don't listen to her Vampra" Pixel re-assured her. "How desperate do you have to be to team up with a bunch of ponies?" Scarlett asked, pointing a claw at Vampra. "I WOULD ALLY WITH A BUCKET FULL OF MAGGOT'S IF IT MEANT GETTING RID OF YOU!!!!!!!!" Vampra shouted, as Shift chuckled. "Wow....she'd team up with maggot's" Shift giggled. "I think we're the maggot's" Stryker told him. "There's more than enough of us to take you down....we are SAVING YOU From this world ONCE, AND FOR ALL!!!!!!!" Pixel shouted, unsheathing her sword. "SAVING ME.....Oooooohhhh, now I remember, that freedom was taking away long ago, besides how are you gonna do that?" Scarlett asked, looking at her claw's. "Vampra know's how to defeat you, with her guidance, and our strength....WE WILL FREE YOU, OR END YOU!!!!!!!" "You know what....your right absolutely right, alright....." Scarlett Twinkle told her, sheathing her claw's. "....change of plan's." She told them, as she used her power to summon Vampra's scythe back, making Vampra gasp. "Does Vaaaammprrraaa want her stck back...GEHEHEHEHEHE....I'll give it to you if you join....myyyyyyy side" Scarlett cooed, her voice dripping with eagerness. "V-Vampra....d-don't listen to her....we can defeat her together" Pixel stammered, as Scarlett waved over to Vampra. "Hey, ultimate power" Scarlett told her, holding up the scythe. "Thank you Pixel, I couldn't have gotten here without your help, but now you have served your purpose" Vampra told her, as she walked toward's Scarlett Twinkle to retrieve her lost power. "VAMPRA NO!!!!!!!" Pixel shouted, as Vampra used her power's to grab the scythe out of Scarlett's claw's, as a huge amount of electricity surged through her body, powering her up once more. The other's got up from the force, as Vampra's scars faded, and she was in her charged up body once more, scythe in hand. "I knew it, I knew you couldn't be trusted" Stryker growled. Pixel rasied her sword, as she snarled angrily. "I TRUSTED YOU!!!!!!!!!" Pixel shouted. "And you were a fool for doing so" Vampra told her coldy. "Ooohoohoo.....drama" Scarlett Twinkle cooed. Stryker summoned all his power that Scarlett injected into him, his blood boiling, as his sane side took over the Nightmare part of him, blending both side's to make him stronger. "I'm gonna destroy you" Stryker growled, as Scarlett laughed. "AHAHAHAHAHAHA...I bet you would loooovveee to my prince, buuuuuttt...." Scarlett started, as the merged Bendy creature appeared next to her along with Flowey. "These thing's just DON'T DIE.....DO THEY!?!?!?!?!?!?!?" Shift shouted to Stryker. Scarlett looked at the two Nightmare being's, and laughed. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.....Now it's a PARTY" Scarlett laughed, ready to enjoy the last few moment's of her twisted little game. //-------------------------------------------------------// Episode 11 //-------------------------------------------------------// Episode 11 The masked mare waited out of the very destroyed, and yet random spot of a very eerie place. She had been waiting their for a while, waiting for Stryker, and his friend's to appear soon. One of the AI that had her turret's set-up, alerted her of a presence. "Proximity Alert, multiple hostile's approaching" The turret told her, as Regalias, General Tarsaunus, and many of Regalias forces drove toward's her position with three motorcycle's, a jeep's, and a Tiger tank heading to where she killed Godrick. She was out of time, but she had to buy more of it, so Stryker could come back, who was taking his long ass time. She used the turret's to get a bird's eye view of what was going on, getting a good idea of who was approaching. Three of her sentry turret's were brought online, and opened fire drawing the attention of Regalias, and his men. The soldier's pulled out some elite weaponry, and easily shot the turrets down, as one of the ponies on the motorcycle drove up to a stallion on the jeep. "I'll go on ahead, and trigger any additonal turret's" The stallion told him. "Roger that, we'll follow your lead" The other stallion replied, as all of them continued forward. The pony on the motorcycle triggered, two more turret's up ahead, as he pulled out a pump shotgun, and blew them both to bit's. Gunfire rang around him, as the masked mare fired her cannon at him, getting his atttention. Regalias, and his men pursued after her with their deadly weapons. The masked mare charged up a shot from her shield turret, and fired, destroying the jeep, and killing all who were on it. The tiger tank rolled to a stop, as Regalias turned to General Tarsaunus. "General, fire when ready" Regalias ordered. "Yes High Lord, prepare to fire on my command" Tarsaunus replied, as he aimed the main cannon at his target. The masked mare charged a powerful cannon shot, hoping she could keep Regalias busy. ***** Stryker, Pixel, and Shift all stood side, by side against their enemies with Vampra's betrayal at hand, as she stood next to Scarlett Twinkle who had Flowey, and the fused Bendy next to her. "V-Vampra, how can you choose to side with her, she'll just betray you, and take your soul." Pixel told Vampra who turned to look at Scarlett who raised her claw's. "Sheeeeee's right ya know" Scarlett smiled. "Vampra it's not too late, fight with us.....not them" Pixel told her, as the fused Bendy glitched, and bended, letting out an unnerving hiss. Vampra looked at Scarlett, before turning to Pixel, and spoke. "Better to go down fighting like a powerful warrior than to live out the rest of my day's, as a miserable weakling....enough talk, let's END THIS!!!!!!!!" Vampra growled, pulling out her scythe. "You took the word's right out of my mouth" Stryker smiled, as he fired a powerful shot at Scarlett, who moved the entire realm around her to not only block it, but to seperate them with an opponent. They all called out to each other, watching it happen, as they faced their opponent's. Stryker faced the fused Bendy creature who growled. "I see how it is" Stryker smiled, as he pulled up his fusion cannon, and fired. Shift, in his own arena faced Flowey, as he smiled. "Ler's do this" Shift smiled, aiming his gun at the twisted plant, and firing. Pixel readied her sword, having no choice, as Vampra unsheathed her scythe, ready to fight Pixel....one last time, while Scarlett watched from above, as she cackled. "AHAHAHAHAHAHA....Let the game's begin" Scarlett smiled. //-------------------------------------------------------// Episode 12 ( Season Finale) //-------------------------------------------------------// Episode 12 ( Season Finale) Stryker fired blast after blast against the fused Bendy creature who used a mechanical knife created from it's body to deflect each shot with some difficulty, even though he was making it look easy. Bendy was forced to run around the wall's of the arena, as he closed in on Stryker to slice him in half. Stryker blocked his attack, and using his bare fist, he blew off one of Bendy's new tentacles which made him scream in agony, as Stryker pointed his fusion cannon at the creature, and fired. Shift fired his new electrical gun's at Flowey, as the plant summoned a vine from below to snare Shift. The green pegasaus dodged the attack, and continued to open fire. Flowey slapped him with his vine like tail, as Shift was hit twice, and pushed agianst the wall, with Flowey grabbing a hold of him. Pixel charged at Vampra, as their blades met, before they knocked each other back with their weapon's. "Not quite a 100% charged yet, are ya?" Pixel asked. "Still more than enough to defeat you" Vampra snarled. "Vampra you don't have to do this, we can fight her together" Pixel told her, trying to get through to the shark like being. "I Don't want to hear it Pixel, I've made my choice" Vampra snarled, as she charged, hitting Pixel with some scythe speed attack's, each one being blocked by Pixel's blade who was keeping up with her. Pixel did a spin attack, causing Vampra to block before a big slice, pushed Vampra back. Vampra used her force power's to knock Pixel back before throwing four structures at her. Pixel used her speed, and agility to dodge all of them. "Impressive, as ever" Vampra told her, as Scarlett laughed. "AHAHAHAHAHAHA, Ooooohhh boy I can watch you jump through hoop's aaaalllll day, like a bug trying not to get squashed" Scarlett snarled, as Pixel looked at her. "YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF!!!!!!!" Pixel shouted. "Hmmmm....ashamed of what?" Scarlett asked. "You used to be Twilight Sparkle, a Princess of Equestria who had the best friend's she could ever want, friend's she deeply cared about, loving, and kind....sworn to protect your people, to protect us...." Pixel told her, as Scarlett snarled, more angrier than ever. "TWILIGHT IS DEAD.....You don't know what you are talking about!" Scarlett Twinkle growled angrily. "No....she isn't, I know she's there inside of you.....deep inside all that darkness, all that evil, I can feel how broken, and helpless she feel's, I don't blame her for what she's done, I want to set her free....so she can live again." Pixel told her. "I SAID SHUT UP!!!!!!!!" Scarlett Twinkle roared, her voice breaking, as the realm began to shake, and scream. "Pixel, stop it....if you unhinge her, this entire realm will be brought down" Vampra snarled, but Pixel ignored her, as she shouted at Scarlett. "YOU CAN STILL FIGHT NIGHTMARE MOON!!!!!!!!" Pixel shouted. "VAMPRA....SHUT HER UP!!!!!!!!!" Scarlett shouted, as Vampra threw an object at Pixel who dodged out of the way, at that moment, Scarlett screamed, and she fell off her perch, hitting the ground hard. "W-What's....happening....." Scarlett groaned. "YOU CAN FIGHT HER!!!!!!" Pixel shouted, as Scarlett groaned, cracking, and breaking under what was happening to her. "Y-you....." Scarlett snarled, in anger, and familiarity. The memories of Twilight Sparkle flooded back to her, hitting her with her friend's, the war, her sacrifice, her last word's to Pixel, and being seriously cursed to do Nightmare Moon's bidding, until her seal was broken. "Y-you.....n-neeed...t-to diiiiiiieeeee" Scarlett growled, spreading her claw's, but Pixel shouted one last time. "REMEMBER ME TWILIGHT.....IT'S PIXEL.....I CAME TO FREE YOU!!!!!!!!" Pixel screamed at the top of her lung's, as Scarlett screamed, and the arena's fell apart. The curse was broken, but not fully. Stryker was fighting Bendy, until he saw the place fall apart, and Flowey sensed the presence of Twilight, as he dropped Shift, and charged, only to be met with the deadly blade of Twilight Sparkle. https://camo.fimfiction.net/4T3ehlQhSBdv33g_n-CyM6Ux_2mwaK_UpD_cHamGbsM?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.gyazo.com%2Fd1ef32f007962eac50f760930454f562.png Twilight knocked Flowey back, as the fused Bendy creature charged at her. She blocked it's tentacle attack, then swung her sword, until she split the fused body open, killing the fused Bendy creature. "It's really Twilight Sparkle" Stryker gasped. "Yes, that is what Scarlett used to be, our Twilight Sparkle who was cursed to serve Nightmare Moon after sealing her away, before the darkness swallowed her life" Pixel explained. "She's still with us right?" Shift asked, as Twilight then groaned, and roared in pain, before turning back into Scareltt Twinkle who charged at Shift, and screamed again....turning back to Twilight. "P-Pixel, S-Stryker, you must leave this place.....YOU CANNOT STAY HERE!!!!!" Twilight warned. "Ha, you don't have to tell me twice, let's get outta...." Stryker started to tell them, as all of them gasped, as Nightmare Moon herself appeared. https://camo.fimfiction.net/D2SUaBLZKAVN6sJhwnYJ7fSRgrQHtUdSiYs_Sjdps0o?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.gyazo.com%2F94b19edb607efd4fd452b73d8380e94f.png "IT'S HER!!!!!!" Pixel stammered, as Twilight turned to Nightmare Moon. "YOU AGAIN!!!!!!!" Twilight growled. "You are no longer fit to rule this realm in my stead for my freedom" Nightmare Moon pointed accusingly toward's Twilight who morphed back into Scarlett Twinkle, as she snarled. "YOU WATCH YOUR MOUTH, GET HER!!!!!!!!!" Scarlett shouted, as her demon's, and Flowey all charged at Nightmare Moon who slaughtered all of them with a wave of her magic, seperating them from this realm. Stryker pulled out his fusion cannon as they bounced off Nightmare Moon harmlessly, as she cackled. "YOU CAN'T FIGHT HER....GET OUTTA HERE!!!!!!!" Twilight screamed. "NO WE CAME TO BRING YOU HOME!!!!!!!" Pixel shouted. "THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN, I CAN'T FULLY BREAK MY CURSE.....I'M TOO FAR GONE!!!!!!!" Twilight shouted. "YOU NEED TO LEAVE!!!!!!!!" Twilight screamed again. "Yeah, but....how?" Stryker asked. "Uh...I'm afraid we're going to have to worry about her" Shift answered, pointing to Nightmare Moon, until a blast of lightning hit the Nightmare alicorn mare, as the blast came from Vampra herself. "Vampra?" Pixel asked. "Take your friends, and run Pixel, I'll by you time, I owe you that much....raise the sword high, and strike it on the ground with as much force, as you can muster so that you can leave" Vampra told her. "NO....NOT WITHOUT TWILIGHT!!!!!!" Pixel shouted, as Twilight screamed, turning back into Scarlett Twinkle, as the two fought over dominace in her body. Stryker looked at his controlled form, which he had merged with his own, cleansing his power, and gaining new abilites. He then looked at Scarlett, and Twilight fighting for dominace, until he gasped. "That's it.....VAMPRA, I HAVE A BETTER EXIT.....WHAT ABOUT YOU!?!?!?!?!?!?" Stryker shouted. "i told Pixel, I'd rather die fighting as a warrior, than live in hiding for the rest of my life" Vampra told her, as Stryker grabbed Pixel, and Shift. "HERE WE GO!!!!!!!!" Styker shouted, as he ran forward, and tackled Scarlett with Pixel, and Shift nearby. "STRYKER!!!!!!" Pixel shouted. "THIS ISN'T THE TIME TO LOSE YOUR MIND!!!!!!" Shift shouted, as Stryker channeled the fused power into Scarlett Twinkle. "RRRRRRAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!" Stryker screamed feeding all the combined power flow into her. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!" Nightmare Moon screamed, as an explosion knocked her back, as Stryker, Shift, Pixel, and Scarlett all returned to the real world for good. "THAT INFERNAL PONY....HE FUSED THE SEAL TO THIS REALM, AND CHANGED THE CURSE I GAVE TWILIGHT WHO WAS MY ONLY WAY BACK.....I CANNOT LEAVE HERE....I'M TRAPPED!!!!!!!!!" Nightmare Moon roared, until a vocie spoke. "Trapped with me" Vampra cooed, as she readied her scythe. "We will both kill each other, and this realm will cease to exist....your going to die, or suffer here" Nightmare Moon growled, as Vampra smiled. "Killing you, while dying myself.....just the way I wanted to go" Vampra grinned, as she, and Nightmare Moon fought, the battle ending with the demise of both, and The Nightmare Realm collapsing once, and for all. ****** The explosion happened, as all four of them exited the Nightmare Realm with Pixel's sword forever being embedded into the ground. Stryker groaned, as he got up, feeling his arm return to normal, and his cannon gun returned to his hand with some upgrades he had gotten from being in the Nightmare Realm. All of them woke up, and sighed. "We're back....I can't believe it" Stryker sighed, until he, Pixel, and Shift heard a mare crying nearby. All of them followed the sound, and came across Twilight, or Scarlett....they couldn't really tell, until Stryker spoke, putting his arm on her shoulder. They all gasped when she had turned around, as Scarlett had fused with Twilight, giving her a new look. https://camo.fimfiction.net/9bxuEn_ac39wJXe1t1v9U33nmiHWYT0uUulxI0Jad-c?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.gyazo.com%2Fe9c69c278331de07fcb49e08ac03e062.png "Twilight?' Stryker asked, as she spoke. "Scarlett, and Twilight, or, well.....I don't know anymore, I'm so sorry for what I did, I did so many horrible thing's, and I did.....you know what to you Stryker....I shouldn't have done any of it, you freed me from her, but I still feel so empty, I don't know how I can....." Twilight's stopped, as Stryker held her, and embraced her, giving her the compassion she desperately needed. "I forgive you.....for all of it" Stryker told her, as Twilight sniffled. "Really?" She asked. "We all do, we have all been in darkness for so long, and forced to do horrible thing's, but now we can change it, and save this world, and our people from the darknees that has become this wasteland. Whether your Scarlett, or Twilight....your still you, and we wouldn't have it any other way" Stryker told her, as Twilight embraced him back, as she sobbed. "Thank you" She sniffled, as the two seperated. "It's good to have you back Twilight" Pixel smiled, as Twilight hugged her. "I really missed you Pixel....a lot, I guess I still have friend's, even after my old one's are gone" Twilight smiled. "What are you gonna do now?" Shift asked. "I think I'll help you from here on out, however, I think I like the name Scarlett Twinkle, I want that name to be one of compassion, and not of fear, pluuuuussss...." Twilight began, as a flash of light flickered, and she was in her Scarlett Twinkle form, except with one difference, her eyes matched her fused form, and were very pretty, while her mane changing to reflect her new fused persona. She held up her fused claw's, but she could morph out of this form to gain back her normal hand's. "......It seem's I have gained everything from my other form, except I have a heart for once." She told them with determination in her eyes, as Stryker chuckled. "Your not going to go soft on us are ya?" Stryker asked with a smile. "Oh trust me, the only thing that I'm killing is all the fucked up people who need to diiiiieeeee" Scarlett cooed, her voice sounding like she did in the Nightmare Realm, but more heartwarming, and colorful. "That's our Twiiiiliiiigghhhtt" Shift smiled, as she chuckled, until all of them were greeted by the masked mare. "Welcome back Stryker, and it's good to see you again your majesty" The masked mare told her, and bowed to Scarlett, as Stryker aimed his gun at the masked mare. "WHO ARE YOU!!!!!!!" Stryker shouted. "Whoa, easy there Sheriff, I'm a friend" The masked mare replied, as Stryker lowered his gun. "Are....are we all back?" Stryker asked. "A...HEM!!!!!!!" Scarlett snarled, spreading her claw's, as Stryker chuckled. "Yup, yup, we're definitely back" Stryker immedietly nodded. Gunfire from the distance was heard, as another one the masked mare's turret's went down thank's to Regalias, and his men. "Insturction's will have to wait, here comes the welcoming party" The masked mare told him, hearing Regalias, and his men approaching. "Uhhh.....they don't sound so welcoming" Shift stuttered. "Get ready guy's....it's not over yet" Stryker told them, as the masked mare rasied her cannon, while Stryker raised his cannon gun. Pixel unsheathed her sword, and Shift readied his weapon. Scarlett got into her creepy spider position, unsheathing her claw's, ready to help her new friend's. "Ooooohoooohoohoooo......MY KIND OF PARTY!!!!!!!!!" She growled, ready for action.

And now....the conclusion. //-------------------------------------------------------// Episode 3 //-------------------------------------------------------// Episode 3 Vampra, and Pixel had gathered a lot of suppplies for their journey, but Pixel wasn't really trustworthy of Vampra, as she gave her an accusing glare. "Tell me how I can get to the Nightmare Realm...I have to save them" Pixel demanded. "There is only one way to her world....through that cup, and her grave" Vampra told her, as she told her what Scarlett Twinkle was. "She is a cursed being who can only thrive by devouring those pure of heart. No matter how many soul's she consumes....no matter how many died at her hand's.....it was never enough for her insatiable hunger. That is why she is so keen on you, and Stryker....because you are both pure of heart. However, due to her fascination when she first met Stryker, she seem's to have other plan's for him. She want's him as her mate, that way if they both share the same curse, the less unsatiable her hunger becomes......" Vampra told her, as she told the story of who Scarlett Twinkle once was. "...she was once a beautiful princess, a mighty queen who helped rule over a flourishing, and powerful empire, beloved by her people.....but with all good thing's, it wasn't meant to last. Her own ruler's whom she had helped, and even grew attached to, fell to being's of darkness. They had become corrupted, and she was forced to lead her people to war against their corrupted kind. It was a horrible war, and the being's of darkness threatened to destroy her home. Her power soon began to crumble. In the end....the Princess had only one choice, making a deal with the devil to give her the power to defeat her enemies. She drank from that golden chalice to seal her deal....her body broke, and she became cursed, with a new realm, and demons, now under her command" Vampra explained. "We must stop her.....take me to her grave" Pixel demanded. "The entrance to her grave is in a moselieum, not far from where I imagine she first met Stryker" Vampra told her. "Let's go then...we're wasting time just sitting around here" Pixel ushered. "The only way to defeat her is to bring back her humanity.....that won't be easy" Vampra warned her, as the two were already driving Pixel's supply truck to that location. "We'll see about that" Pixel huffed.
