Applejack jumped through the ring and got teleported into her orchard's barn, safe Applejack slumped to the ground too catch her breath but to also check her left eye, which was damaged by Rainbow a while ago, Applejack gritted as she touched her eye to check to see if it stopped bleeding for now, after checking to see if she was truly safe Applejack got up and trek through her barn which looked bigger inside than normal.

"Now what in tarnation is going on in here, why is the orchard's barn bigger on the inside" said Applejack as she traversed the walkways of the warped barn with most of them covered in blood which Applejack tried to avoid stepping on it.

After a while Applejack spotted a red glowing apple floating above the pathway, curiosity sparked in Applejack's mind as she approached the strange apple and touch it, almost immediately her vision was attacked by colors of red, green, and white flashing in her eyes along with a loud static noise blaring in her ears, Applejack could only crouch and grit in pain as the torturous experience went on for ten unbearable seconds before it suddenly stops and Applejack could finally regain her sense and get up.

"What in the..., okay let's not touch strange floating apples" exclaimed Applejack as she continued forward now avoiding red apples so as to not suffer from its effects, as she continues deeper into the warped maze, she spots some red creature looking around which applejack hid behind a pack of crates while keeping her eye on the stranger who soon sped off into the distance.

"Who was that, but it's probably best if I avoid him for now" thought Applejack as she continued to traverse the twisted wooden walkways of this dark world hoping to find a way out and to warn the rest of her friends of this faker Rainbow before it tries to harm them as well.

After what felt like hours, she arrived at a part of the warped barn at contained two pulley systems each connected to something, following one of the pulleys, Applejack saw that above her was a platform covered with blood-soaked spikes and the other connected to a large door that led to the outside, not wanting to get crushed by the ceiling, Applejack went to pull the second pulley, but then a feeling of doubt entered her mind before she could pull the lever.

"But the other lever is connected to the deathtrap, I saw the rope leading up towards the roof, but that monster may have rigged this system" thought Applejack as she moved towards the first lever and slowly reached to pull the lever, as she pulled the lever with all her might the doors creaked open, and the spikes disappeared from the ceiling along with the second lever, Applejack soon galloped through the doorway all while a red echidna watches from afar.

The Cellar

Applejack soon found herself next to a lamp hanging from the ceiling and surrounded by nothing but darkness, looking out into the darkness Applejack could see other lamps in the room of darkness which formed a pattern which led towards another exit, but a growl caught her attention as a Timberwolf pass by one of the lamps illuminating its broken and charred body, its red eyes stab into the darkness as it hunts for its prey.

"Okay, lets try and avoid that overgrown vermin and judging by how its avoiding the lights at all times, I'll just follow the path of lights till I get to the exit" said Applejack as she moved forward towards the first light while keeping an eye out for that burned timberwolf which was still prowling the area for her but she still pressed forward till she made it to the middle of the path, but saw the gap between her and the next light is like four light spots ahead.

"What in the..., ok if I time this just right before that wolf shows up" reflected Applejack as she prepares herself for a running start and dashed towards the next light as a unearthly roar echoed across the room as the Timberwolf charged towards Applejack in an attempt to crush her in its jaws, but Applejack leaped out of the wat and into the light as the wolf soon left after failing to kill her.

"That was too close, one second later..." said Applejack in relief as she continued down the trail of lights till she finally made it to the exit which was a big red ring floating in the air just like the one she jumped into after beating the fake Rainbow in its death race, but not wanting to stay in this dark place any longer Applejack jumped into the ring and getting teleported somewhere else.

Throne Room, Hellzone

Deep within the Throne Room's chambers, Sonic.Exe sits upon his golden throne which stands opposingly in the room while his top loyal Exes enter his chambers causing every tortured soul Sonic.Exe has collected over the years to run away in panic and fear as five Exes along with DiamoX kneel before him.

"Welcome my loyal Exes, I have called upon you to discuss something of importance, DiamoX please enlighten them." said X to DiamoX who used some magic to showcase the situation to the five Exes.

"Thank you my lord, as you can see Exelon who we thought to have been destroyed ever since his failed Hellzone Coup a thousand years ago is still alive and one of his loyal followers known as TailX managed to evade capture and followed him to this world known as Equestria" explained DiamoX which peaked the curiosity of one of the Exes.

"What I don't understand is that what does Exelon and TailX want with that useless world full of techno-colored weaklings, to me they think we won't follow them there" said the Exe with the one big eye and tattoo on his stomach.

"I have to agree on EYX on this, to us Exes that place holds no value for us or him what would he want with that place" said a small hedgehog with no mouth, DiamoX then shifted the red images to the image of Equestria's Planet and a image of Rainbow.

"Because EYX and Hog, this world has a power we Exes couldn't sense due to Equestria's field of harmony magic, which is the divine essence of Faust's soul which grant six residents of this world connection to her power through objects known as the Elements of Harmony" explained DiamoX as a Exe with a bulk similar to one being who was close friends to Hellzone's first king Lord X watched carefully at the images.

"And this is one of the elements, her name is Rainbow Dash, and she is now Exelon's vessel and is using her body to hunt down the other elements while TailX and his sockpuppets collect souls in order for Exelon to restore his old body, but we soon learn that he knows about Equestria's hidden power and is planning to take Faust's soul" explained DiamoX as the fourth Exe known as Speed.Gif or Cyclops spoke up.

"If he's after that goddess's soul, then how is he going to get it with that barrier still up?" said the hedgehog cyclops.

"Well at first we didn't know till we looked at the barrier and we saw that it is slowly falling apart due to Exelon's and TailX's growing Exe influence on Equestria and with this knowledge, he's planning on slowly corrupting Equestria so the barrier will break and he can take the soul, but as the protection for Faust's soul decays"

"So does that world's only defense against us Exes from invading, now the barrier is now too weak to stop us from entering their world in mass numbers, which means that any remaining followers of Exelon's army along with their torture souls will soon follow him to Equestria" said Sonic.Exe as a simulation shows Exelon's army invading Equestria causing the barrier to shatter completely and Exelon absorbing Faust's soul which caught Hog's attention.

"So you want to led the armies of Hellzone to destroy Exelon and his followers once and for all, and what of the Equestrians my lord" said Hog as X smiled in silent joy.

"Yes Hog, the armies of Hellzone will once again march in unison just like the days of Lord X's reign, and as for the Equestrians we will aid them for now but as soon as Exelon is dead, we will claim the soul of Faust and merge Equestria into Hellzone's reality, now spread the word, have all Exes call forth their armies and prepare to receive the reality of Equestria into Hellzone!" exclaimed X

"YES, MY ETERNAL LORD" shouted the five Exes as they all teleported away to prepare and DiamoX teleported teleported away to prepare the Hellzone reality to absorb the equestrian reality.

"Are you ready for Round 2, Equestria"

Author's Note

SX-a Exe similar to MX/Mario'85, and Bataershox-Lord X's first enforcer of Hellzone
