Dusk shot out of bed, His screams muffled against the creature that attacked him. His body is swaying, doing his best to try and get it off him as he finds himself running into the door. His hands are trying to claw at the mysterious thing.

“Get off me!” He yelled out only to find his voice muffled by the impish creature as he found himself running down the halls. His body ran into one of the walls as he began tripping over. Dusk’s hands reached over as it managed to pull whatever it was and toss it across the room.

“What the fuck was that?” Dusk asked as he took a deep breath looking across the room from him. The light-filled the hallway as he looked over and saw it.

It was small, standing around four feet tall. Dusk honestly got a better look at the creature and realized it was wearing a poodle skirt. A leather jacket. That looked torn up. Dusk even began smelling brimstone. It watched him with those glowing yellow eyes. Its teeth were sharp while it stared at him.

It spoke out, “Remember your promise, Dusk.” Its voice was a feminine growl. It was then Dusk realized this creature was female. His head began splitting with pain.

“Who are you!” Dusk asked, his arms pulling up as he was preparing to defend himself in some fashion. The creature took a step forward, Dusk. Her claws are growing out. It watched him smirking wider. Yet that was when it suddenly found itself unable to move.

“What the? Unhand me!” It called out while finding itself waving its arm into the air. Dusk found himself looking over and realizing that the thing that stopped the impish creature was none other than Applejack. Dusk looked back, overseeing the worn-out cowgirl standing her hat off as her hair was let loose. She was holding onto the short stack, wiggling in the air.

“Who’s she, Dusk?” Applejack said while yawning. The tiny creature called out.

“Free me, or I will unleash hell upon you!”

“How about no, and who are you?” Applejack said while holding the creature by the scruff of her neck. Watching as the small animal wiggled around,

“Ouch, Dusk, tell her to stop!” It yelled out while looking at him with tears in her eyes, looking even smaller somehow. Dusk wasn’t sure what to say as he looked back at her.

“Um yeah, tell us who you are? Or what are you?” While he wasn’t sure how it even knew his name, Dusk said the woman was struggling more before it finally relented.

“Fine, it’s me, Gabby, now. Seriously, let me go!” She called out while Applejack let her go. Gabby ran right over to Dusk, suddenly grabbing him by the leg as she looked at him, Pouting like she was close to crying any second now.

“Um, sorry, Gabby, but I’ll be honest, I don’t know who you are,” Dusk said, looking down at the creature, his mind wondering something as he looked back towards her. Something about her was familiar.

“Aww, you don’t, but what about those nights I kept you cool. Come on; you don’t remember your Imp.” Gabby smirked as she leaned in. Almost pulling her leather jacket down, showing a small pair of breasts, her black nipples sticking out while Dusk found pain shooting Dusk like an arrow going through his skull.

-000-

Memories began shutting through Dusk’s skull. Images began appearing in his mind, those images slowly moving as he heard a sound. Dusk gradually looked back as he started seeing himself back in time in hell, standing in a dark abyss with harsh red light. The air was hot. Dusk could barely breathe.

A part of him was thankful that Sunset and Ember’s gift was probably the only thing that had managed to keep him from burning up in this place. He gasped for air as he found himself standing there holding Mjölnir. The heavy hammer in his hand as he watched the portal there. Look stood in the middle of nowhere as he heard the voice calling out.

“You idiot! Do you have any idea what you’ve done? Now we’re trapped in here forever!” The screech of the demonic voice of Umbra. Dusk turned around, seeing the creature standing there. Her teeth etched like blades as if she was going to attack him.

“Well, I rather it is me than them” He swung the Hammer at her as it sent her flying into the air. Dusk was ready to end his day in this place as he looked at her with anger, watching what this had done. Had taken away from him. If he were in Hell, he also made sure she never escaped this place.

“I will make sure you are taken to the tortures of Hell, you little shit!” Umbra screamed as she swung her claws at Dusk Him, barely able to dodge as he looked up at the bitch incarnate.

Dusk held on while breathing hard. The heat around him was uncomfortable as he felt himself sweating. It was like he was in a room with no air conditioning, and it was already in the ninety’s and only rising. Umbra stood there like it was nothing.

Dusk bit his lips while holding onto Thor’s Hammer, unsure what he would do. He imagined death would be upon him at any moment as he prepared for it. I wonder if I die in hell, where do I go? The thought came over him, yet he imagined it would happen soon. In contrast, he looked toward Umbra for the longest time.

“You know what, human, I’m going to get out of here again, and When I eventually do. I will find that Bordello again, and when I do. I might not bother with the gates; they’ll probably destroy them. But What I will do… I will slaughter them all,” Her fangs growing wider as she stood there, her claws growing longer, “When I slaughter them, I will burn that place to the ground, and I will drag all your little whores down her and tear them apart while I make you watch while your little head is on a stake!”

As he looked at the Demoness, this pushed Dusk to the edge and lifted the Hammer.

“Then I’ll just kill you first!” He growled as she began spinning around, holding the hammer as fast as possible as he used every last ounce of strength; a part of him hoped—no, he prayed that this would work as he released the hammer Throwing the Mighty weapon right at the demoness.

Umbra must not have expected this. Because before she could react, the hammer slammed into her throwing her off balance as she looked back to the very edge of hell. She looked at him and growled,

“You son of a whore!” as she tried reaching out to save her balance, but Dusk ran at her and gave her a hard kick. His leg crunching caught him off as he screamed in pain. But Umbra wasn’t focusing on his snapped legs. Her eyes widened, caught off guard as she suddenly fell back. Her expression twisted as she screamed out.

“You will pay!” Umbra screamed as she fell, falling into the dark abyss. Dusk looked down, his heart racing as he looked down at what seemed like a bottomless pit. His hands were shaking as he looked over, seeing The hammer of Thor lying there. He was close to grabbing It when the ground rumbled.

Dusk’s first instinct was to run off, running away from where he was though he found himself falling. Pain overwhelmed him as he realized he might have just broken his ankle.

“Shit, this isn’t good. Fuck my leg. I think it’s broken.”

Dusk laid there defenseless, his leg broken, and he didn’t even have Mjölnir with him. Looking back, the ground was broken off as he huffed heavily. It was clear that Dusk was fucked while hanging around H E double hockey sticks. In the distance, he could hear the cries and screams of those damned, and sooner or later, he was sure that He would be joining them. He'd be tortured for all eternity.

“At least it’s not in vain. The girls are safe. So I guess it’s all worth it.” He mumbled while lying there, ready to accept this fate.

“Oy, what you did there is digging it.” A feminine voice called out, while Dusk over his eyes got heavy, unsure what would happen.

“Get it over with if you’re going to torture me; not like I can do anything.”

“Heck no, a bada like you just took on an Archlord and knocked her over the edge. Like heaven, I’m going to let you go. Besides, I saw you going through that portal thing. You ain’t no damned.”

“Um, what the heck are you talking about?” Dusk found himself confused as the Impish girl wearing a torn-up poodle skirt came over, grabbing him and dragging him off.

“What’s Da matter got smog in the nogging I’m talking here slick, now come on Let’s get you out of here Before any squares come around and drag you off to the torture rags. Be a heck of a drag. Names Gabby.” Gabby smirked while looking over his shoulder. Dusk would lay there for the longest time, his head falling as he found himself blacking out.

-000-

Dusk realized where he was, looking back over to Applejack, who was watching the I’m, with annoyance, while Gabby the Imp crossed her arm. The pink skirt is whipping around. Dusk finally noticed that she had a gun holster.

“Ok, Gabby, where did you get that?” he asked, finding the gun holster clashing with her outfit.

“Listen, Jack, where I got it isn’t your concern, Daddy-.o All that matters is I’m finally out of the Inferno and come to claim our deal.” The Imp smiled more.

“Does she normally talk like some 50’s greaser?” Applejack asked while tipping her hat up. While Dusk looked over, it was clear that she was quickly annoyed by the Imp.

“Oy listens, Cowspaz; I talk this way. It’s sweet, and Bada here loved it. I remember him telling me I’m a hipster.” She smirked while leaning back and forth. Applejack looked at Dusk, wondering if he seriously called her a hipster. Dusk just rolled his shoulders.

“Listen, Gabby; I really can’t remember much from hell. So I can’t recall whatever I said or did if we had some deal.”

“N’ah, I’m sure your memory will return. Heaven forbid they’re gone forever. You just got out of Infernoville; most of the time, it’s a defense to protect your mind since you can’t fully compromise that place.” She smirked while pulling out a toothpick and sticking it in her mouth as she got comfortable.

“Um, ok… Though seriously, I have no memory, so if we made a deal, I can’t respond.”

“No problem there, Slick, That mark on your back is part of our contract we made with the other chick. It’ll get us out, but you took me with you.” Gabby smirked while she chewed on the toothpick. Dusk watched her, almost puzzled.

“Another girl?” Just how many people did he meet in Hell? This was getting more confusing by the moment while he shook his head. “Ok, seriously, you might want to catch me up to speed with everything.” He asked more, just trying to get through the whole situation.

“Can’t got to get your mind ready. If I tried telling you how, who knows, the head might pop like a zit.” Gabby said while cracking her neck and letting out a loud pop that made even Applejack wince.

“Well, we don’t need my head popping like a zit. Um, maybe we should get Celestia to find her a room. I’m sure we still have a few spare ones.” Dusk found himself pausing as he remembered who they lost from the Umbra attack.

“No problem, I can crash here for the time or two apart of our deal.” The Imp licked her lip as she walked over to Dusk’s bed and jumped right into it. She bounced while getting comfortable. Dusk Just watched her for a second.

“Yeah, not going to happen Applejack sleeps there along with Sunset, and besides, it’s Ember’s night to sleep with me.”

“Come on, Bada, you agreed to it before when we made the deal, don’t you remember.” The Imp snickered while undoing her holster and putting it on the side table.

“No, I can’t remember what did we agree to!” Dusk found himself looking back at Applejack, trying his best to tell her that he would never have agreed to this situation.”

“Oh, come on, now., I help you make a run from the pit, and in exchange, you make me your Gal,” Gabby said while pursing her lips like she was going to kiss him before giving off that devilish grin. Dusk shook his head. Not even sure what situation he’d gotten himself into. However, they looked back toward the minotaur.

“Alright, um, see if Celestia is still awake. If not, just let her sleep in here tonight, and Maybe just sleep in your room. I’ll stay with Ember.” Applejack pouted for a minute before nodding,

“Fine, but I swear you’ll need to make this up to me, another girl, maybe two. This makes me feel so small.” The cowgirl looked more annoyed while Dusk reached out to caress her cheek.

“You’re still one of my favorite girls. I’ll make it up to you guy’s once I figure it out.” Dusk gave her a light smile while Applejack nodded,

“Alright, I can’t stay mad at you, but what will we do with her?” Pointing over at the imp, Dusk wasn’t even sure himself.

“We’ll figure it out. Though I should check on Ember, she’s been acting weird. Normally she wouldn’t miss our night.” It did catch Dusk off guard, especially when he saw that her gold piled was gone.

“Fine, check up on her, Though when you get some time, I need some serious milking.” Applejack hinted while she leaned down, kissing the top of his head. Dusk blushed as he felt the blood run to his head and cheeks.

Dusk eventually headed to the attic space. He had initially checked the room he’d given Ember but found she wasn’t even using it. It left only one place as he looked up towards the attic. The same attic where they had first met. A dim-looking area as he pulled the string, Pulling the stairs down and looking at it. He let out a long sigh, knowing what was in store.

Dusk climbed into the attic. The smell of sulfur fills the air. It was very much her domain. He looked around, finding that it was particularly dark; he looked around before seeing the light bulb and pulled it on. The room glowed as the lightbulb swayed in the air, causing shadows to move around.

“I swear this place is just creepy,” Dusk grumbled while looking at the boxes filled with various things, from gold to diamonds and even rubies. Dusk, beware of touching them. The last time he did, it nearly caused Ember to try and kill him, and Dusk wasn’t going to repeat that process.

He shuffled around the boxes as he looked around to see if he could find his dragon—the light sounds of cooing weres going off as Dusk turned another corner in the mazes of Boxes.

“I wonder if she made it this way to feel like a cavern. To hide her gold?” It was something he wondered lightly. After so long, he read up on Dragon lore, googling it, and found Dragons were a particular subject since no one could fully define what a dragon was.

He bit his lips, taking another turn, and saw her there. Ember was sitting on the pile of gold like it was nothing. Dusk wonders if it was her biology that caused it. At the same time, Dusk imagined if he tried doing that, it would feel far more uncomfortable. Yet Ember acted like she was Scrouge McDuck while sitting on it.

Dusk then realized she was holding something. It was large, and she held onto it with two arms as Dusk found himself moving in closer. He didn’t know his foot had hit one of the boxes causing it to fall over and causing a large bang.

Ember’s eyes shot open, revealing a pair of red iris with black slits in the middle as she called out,

“Who goes there, who dares break into the Dragons lair!” Her voice rumbled like she was close to transforming into her reptilian form. Dusk shuddered at the idea of seeing it. While he quickly pulled himself out.

“Hey, Ember, it’s me., Dusk said while getting in closer. This seemed to calm the dragon down just a tiny bit as she hunched over. Though simply said.

“Oh, it’s just you.” Ember watched Him; Dusk simple chuckled,

“Well, it’s good to see you also, Ember; you alright?” Dusk noticed how she cradled the object in her hand. It was pure red and shined like a star when the light hit it.

“Yeah, I’m fine, just fine.” She said while blowing fire at the sizeable ruby. Dusk couldn’t help but watch her do it, finding it stranger since He’d never seen her do that with any of her treasures.

“Might wanna be careful you might melt that gem.” Ember gave him a dirty look,

“I would never hurt my precious one.” She spoke more while looking down at it caressing it. Dusk found himself more puzzled by this as he got in closer,

“What is that, I mean it must be something new? Did you steal it?” He asked while still feeling the dirty look coming from the Dragon.

“No I didn’t steal the little one; they’re all ours.” She smiled while watching it, almost caring and greedy. Dusk stopped for a second, looking at her as he paused,

“Wait ours?” He got closer as he finally got a good look at the object and realized it was shaped like an oval. It didn’t look so much like a red ruby as it looked rougher and refined, like it was made of stone, yet it wasn’t stone. Then Dusk came to a realization. It was not a ruby. It’s an Egg.

Dusk stood there for a second watching Ember his heart nearly stopped as he looked at the Dragon and the way she held onto it. He wasn’t sure what to say his mouth went dry. While it took him a minute he put two, and two together.

“Ember did you lay an Egg?” Dusk said while Ember looked back at him,

“No the stork brought me this egg, of course, I laid it,” Ember said while looking down at it more while she breathed fires down onto it.
