(???)

"BREACH! BREACH!"

"No! No! NO! Not yet! I'm not done! They're not prefect!"

"On the ground!"

"It's not right! It's not right!"

"Put it down!"

"Goddess why! They're flesh! It's not prefect!"

"Don't do it!"

"YOUR FLESH IS HIDEOUS! BURN IT ALL AWAY-"

Blood splat over the darkness as the abyss began to swallow him.

-

Salem walked forward not really knowing where he was going, this place wasn't one he recognized it felt almost familiar to him. Every step felt like walking through the water, but he kept walking further and not noticing that he was fully human again as the day he was born.

Suddenly he stopped in his tracks before looking down at where he stood, three white arrows pointed toward him with two rings appearing shortly afterward. Not being able to understand what was happing thirteen orbs appeared in a circle around him and the familiar symbol on the floor.

"Unfit," The brightest one spoke in a voice Salem swore he heard before.

That was when the crest he stood on broke apart like glass causing him to fall down into a mass of writhing melted flesh that dug itself into his skin pealing it away to the bone. Reaching out to the orbs of light for help only to watch as they turned into humanoid figures that turned their backs on him and the flesh.

Leaving them both behind.

Watching the floor begin to pull itself back together sealing Salem away with the flesh, the human tried one last time to give a soundless plea for help. The last thing he saw before the flesh consumed him was his skeletal hand reaching for the light that was sealed away by that symbol.

Feeling slowly taken by the flesh Salem slowly began to give in to the flesh seeing that no one was going to help him from this hell.

.

..

...

'NO!'

Salem breached free once again even though he was a bare skeleton he clawed his way free from the flesh and out, the flesh tried to pull him back into itself. But he fought rejecting it he wouldn't fall to it not without a fight!

Unexpectedly the darkness began to reach out towards him reaching out a helping hand, seeing that his prayer for help had been answered the skeleton of Salem reached taking the hand made from the void. A deep red light roared behind the shadow revealing it to have a humanoid form but the human didn't care anything to escape the melting flesh.

A very familiar face plate looked out at him, the figure pulled him free of the flesh and began to pour over him encasing the human and changing him into the Chimera he is. Yet the flesh didn't stop it's assault and reached for him but a wall of pure crimson flames roared between the flesh and Salem, turning from the firewall behind him and looking forward Salem looked up at a giant figure looming over him.

Even with the flames so brightly lit the figure was like the shadow moments ago, almost made from the abyss itself.

Standing tall the many red eyes looked down at Salem with a crown upon it's head, countless wings on it's back, and a hammer in it's right hand.

"My boy... make me proud,"

The red flames roared brilliantly turning into pure white before the four-legged goliath was engulfed by the flames and Salem along with the giant.

Consuming everything into pure white and then... nothing.

(Salem's room)

Lifting himself from the bed Salem while holding his mismatched face, the cold texture of his glove caused him to hiss slightly before remembering he took off his helmet last night. While he ponded that question Malo shifted in the spot next to him, getting up she yawned while rubbing her eye.

"Sorry. I need to stop waking you up," Salem apologized.

Malo looked at Salem sleep still clear in her eyes before looking at the still dark sky behind the window, holding up her hands to 'speak' with her host.

"/It's okay come here/" Salem did so while Malo gently wrapped her arms around his shoulder and head before hugging him close to her heart.

Resting her chin on top of his head while holding Salem, sitting in silently the Chimera enjoyed the warm embrace of his partner not realizing he was back on the bed while still in her embrace. Slowly the former human fell back asleep with Malo holding him close to her heart letting him know it was okay she had him safely in her arms.

'I wish I can help your wounds within your mind, Darling,'

(Dream realm)

"ALL HAIL KING BLUEBLOOD!"

"I can't hear you~!"

"ALL HAIL KING BLUEBLOOD!"

"One more time!"

"ALL HAIL KING BLUEBLOOD!"

Luna felt her eye twitch as she watched the dream of her nephew play out before her very eyes, quickly slamming the door to the prince's dreams Luna couldn't help but groan. Ever since she met her 'Nephew' upon her return he had been nothing but a thorn in her side being a complete pain in the flank.

How her sister dealt with him before her arrival was anyone one's guess, still the night wasn't over just yet and she had a few more doors to go through. Walking on the bridge of light connecting to all the dream doors, Luna stopped at the sight of three new doors before her.

The first one closest to her was a beautiful door made of marble with golden laced into it and red cloth hanging over the door with lit burning candles around the foot of the door and it's frame. In the middle of the door sat a golden crest with a bright blue gem-like material with a white 'horse shoe' symbol right in the heart of the stone.

The second door was completely different with a more common appearance, the door was that of a house door but completely black with a silver knob. All though as simple it was compared to the first she could feel something radiating from it almost like smoke, upon closer inspection she could barely make out a faint symbol upon the front of the door almost looked like some sort of skull.

The last door was almost similar to the second but only for that strange feeling that was seeping from it, this door was made of metal with a hydraulic frame. It lacked a knob but it held a button located on the right side of the door which must be the only way to open it.

Not knowing whose doors there were she went to the first one and opened it.

Opening the door she peaked in but was taken aback at what she was witnessing.

A giant in blue and gold armor stood before a defeated much bigger green beast in a suit of armor that looked like it was made out of scrap metal. The beast panted it's metal red eye and glared up at the being in blue armor that held a weapon that glowed similar to the way Salem's weapon did when the former human fought the terrible trio. But this weapon didn't have a low red glow but rather gave a bright blue glow and was much almost just as big but the giant's hands made it look small in comparison.

"I ain't finish with you yet, Space marine," The green creatures panted weakly.

The giant simply raised his weapon at the beast's head.

"But I am finished with you. Ork," The 'space marine' blasted the head off the green monster as it fell down before the giant turned on his head to walk away.

He stopped upon witnessing Luna in the doorway, to her shock Luna was surprised to see a very human-looking face staring at her but he looked 'harden' almost similar to Salem.

"Witch," The giant spoke with slight hatred in his voice before spiriting at her, pulling back a longsword that roared with thousands of sharp teeth ready to cut her down.

That giant was surprisingly fast for his size and how heavy his armor look, but she was fast enough to close the door before he got the chance to strike her.

"Who's dream is this?!" Luna backed away from the door before looking at the next one.

Taking a breath she walk over to the next door before opening it, upon doing so she was met with the sight of black sheets and pillows blanketing the entire place with a single light shining down in the middle. Looking at what was under the light she smiled when she saw none other than Malo herself and in a beautiful nice-looking black dress that looked like something a princess like herself would wear. She was held by a knight in black plate armor that had his sword and shield thrown aside to hold her close. Golden eyes twinkled under the eye of the helm of the knight causing Luna to realize who she was imagining the knight to be.

Slowly she closed the door before she was spotted again and turned to the last door.

If she was correct this was Salem's dream door.

Holding her arms she shivered at the thought of what nightmares were behind that door and what dark images waited behind it. She hadn't changed her mind, she wasn't going in not now...

And hopefully not ever.

She prayed to her mother that she would never have to.

The princess of dreams then turned and walked away leaving that metal door unopened.

(The underground caves)

"This is too easy,"

Sombra smiled at the work she spent the entire doing, clusters of condensed dark hyper crystals were placed right at the weak points under the castle palace of canterlot. Summoning her scythe to her hand once again the sharp tooth queen lifted it up before striking a fused made out of grounded up hyper crystals that hissed with purple flames running like snakes along the walls.

"Time to 'rise and shine' Salem," Turning into black smoke she vanished into the shadows while the hyper crystals exploded followed by the methane gas causing the entire underground to rumble and shift.

Parts of the natural supports gave way, crumbling down Sombra watched from the shadows but her smile faded upon noticing that the supports she knew were holding up the castle itself were holding strong. Her eyes widen at the magical glyphs appearing on the rocky pillars causing the dark queen to curse Celestia's name realizing that she must have placed such protection spells long ago. How she didn't sense them before was anyone's guess cursing her plans ruined again she fades back into the shadows once again to think of other ways to get her revenge.

'At least I did some damage,'

Upon leaving into the dark space she failed to notice the object buried under the rock with the faded image of a thundering hammer painted on the cold metal haul of the buried unknown object.

Author's Note

Man, it's barely Salem's third day in Equestria and something else happens.

But what is buried I wonder... actually I know but some of you might not know.

Anyways I hoped you liked this 'dream chapter' which despite the first part being the confused mess that was Salem's dream (sorry if it's a bit confusing I tried my best to make it confusing from Salem's point of view but not make it confusing to you guys).

Also, I LOVE adding in wholesome stuff like Malo's cuddles and her dream.

And yes before you ask Titus had a dream of being an actual Titus from space marine (2011) I actually thought of it as just him blasting 'Ultramarine chant'.

And-And (that is a word) Blueblood's dream is based on this:

I do hope you all enjoyed this though.
