Multiversal Crisis: A Equestria Girls Story
Chapter 10: A Helluva Journey
Previous ChapterNext ChapterA day passed, Sunset's now at her place thinking of the visions written in Flash's notebook. She can't help but to understand them, thanks to her conversation she had with Chief yesterday, the first vision already happened. According to chronology of the events, the third vision is the newest one to occur with Flash's death, using this logic, then the second vision referred to Aura's kidnapping. That leaves with three of the six visions solved, but what do the rest mean? Also, there's nothing implicates that the visions will occur one after the other, the only thing Sunset can do is pay attention to every detail from now on in order to find answers to these visions.
Sunset looks at her diary, maybe princess Twilight can help her decode them, Sunset takes her pen and starts writing, in hope of finding an answer to her doubts. Meanwhile, at the Everfree Forest in Equestria, Jerome and princess Twilight are going even deeper into the forest.

"So... Jerome... Would mind telling me why Master Chief didn't come?" Asks Twilight, when Jerome arrived, he went straight to check all the detectors that were scattered throughout Equestria, Twilight decided to follow him in order to help him complete his task faster.
"Something bad... Happened... Chief won't be available for a while." As they go deeper into the forest, the ambiance turns even darker, Jerome takes his knife out to cut off branches and bushes to clear their path. "...Twilight, why is this place so... sinister?"
"The Everfree Forest has always been like this, is like a place separated from Equestria, it's an ecosystem completely functional without pony intervention. It also harbors many kinds of creatures, making the forest a dangerous place for every pony that wants to enter here." Replies Twilight, being in such a dangerous place doesn't suit anyone.
Jerome then takes his hydra launcher and loads it.

"Then we better keep our eyes sharp... Also, it's not like they're smarter than a rocket projectile." Said Jerome, Twilight followed behind him, then Jerome receives a transmission from a Spartan team. "... Omega Team here... We detect friendly signals... Can you hear us...?"
"Omega Team I receive you, this is Jerome-092, what's your status?" The voice then replied. "Jerome...? Finally some help... We had some complications with the detectors... These... Creatures damaged the one we brought for this area... Comms are down... We can't communicate with the outside world... The creatures don't stop coming, and we're running out of ammo."
"Understood, Omega Team, we're on our way there." Said Jerome before the transmission got cut off, he then looks at Twilight and says. "C'mon, we gotta move!!" As they began to go deeper into the forest, the sound of heavy weapons such as an energy turret and a rail gun can be heard, also many energy slashes are heard at the distance. As Jerome and Twilight approached, these sounds became louder, and after going through a dense bush, they finally met with Team Omega.

Leon-011 is attacked by a pack of timberwolves, he slashed a few with his blade, but he's then surrounded by the rest of the pack, he's struggling to keep them at bay. As he 'kills' them, they reassemble into endless groups of timberwolves.
"Jerome! Mind lending us a hand?!" Asked Leon as his energy blade ran out of fuel and turned off.
Leon then unsheathes the grip from his left shoulder pad, revealing a retractable blade, which is modified with Forerunner technology, converting the Timberwolves into data that is then absorbed by the blade. Jerome shoots his hydra launcher, burning the Timberwolves he hits. "Why didn't you use that blade in the first place?" Asks Jerome while making the Timberwolves spread. "John said not to kill the native wildlife, but in our defense... they started this fight by damaging the device!" Replied Leon as he drew his handgun and shoots at the Timberwolves.

August-099 is shooting her railgun against a pair of Cragadiles and an Ophiotaurus as she dodges their attacks and protects the device on her back, Twilight aids her by using her magic to teleport August near her. "Are you ok?" Asks Twilight, although August is unharmed, manners are never lost. "Yeah!.. Thanks, by the way, I'm August – 099.” Said August as she reloaded her railgun and shoots again trying to eliminate her chasers, the Cragadiles withstand the shots, although they receive the knockback, unlike the Ophiotaurus which moves so erratically that it makes August miss the shots. "Nice to meet you August, I'm Twilight Sparkle." Said Twilight as she shot magic beams to make the Cragadiles fall back even more.
"Let me help you with it!" Said Twilight as she took flight and headed towards the Ophiotaurus. By using the black vines that had grown all over the forest and her magic, she managed to tie the Ophiotaurus up, restraining it from making any move, Twilight then teleports back with August.
Then, plasma shots come from the deep forest, after that, a Bugbear appears, falling dead to the ground, a shootout can be heard from the forest, but as the sound stops. A Spartan is thrown away and crashes against a tree, he then stands a picks up his weapon, which is an energy turret.

"I'm getting tired of this! Bring it on, you freak bags!!" Said Robert-025 as he took his turret, from the bushes, Bugbears, and a Manticore appear, Robert quickly shoots to the Bugbears, but they managed to dodge the shots due to their low speed. One of the Bugbears uses its claws to damages Robert's weapon, making it unusable, Robert then throws the turret away and engages melee combat with all of them, while also using his handgun to keep the manticore at bay. Robert finished the Bugbears swiftly yet also brutally, after that, he engaged combat with the manticore, and with a suplex he managed to bring it to the ground, then Robert broke the Manticore's neck with a swift move, killing it. Meanwhile, Leon and Jerome hunt down the last Timberwolf and as this one was turning to ashes, they head where everyone else was to help them, August and Twilight were still fighting with the Cragadiles.
August can't land a good shot, as the Cragadile's skin is too hard for the magnetic projectile to pierce it, but before she realizes, she is hit by one of the Cragadile's tail. August is sent away and crashes with a tree, dropping her gun in the process, Twilight was about to help her, but she's also handling the other Cragadile. As August gets up, she sees a Cragadile jumping towards her with its maws opened, fortunately for her, Robert grabbed the beast by its opened maws, creating a chance for August to kill it. She takes her rail gun and with a precise shot that pierces through the beast's entrails, she finishes it off.
Twilight then uses her magic to lift a boulder and throws it to the last Cragadile, pushing it far away, Leon and Jerome arrive and reunite with the rest of the team. "Phew! We have to leave before it becomes more dangerous." Says Twilight, then, she uses her magic again to teleport everyone to her castle, the team appears at the central room.


"That was.... weird." Said Jerome as he was regaining composure, and so was the Omega Team. "Sorry if it was odd for you, but I had to take us out of the Everfree Forest in order to get to safety." Replies Twilight, then August places the device on the table, it had a cube-like shape, but it was so damaged that there was no way to find its original shape.
"What happened, Team?" Asks Jerome after seeing the devastated device. "It was being bitten by those crocodiles when we arrived, we tried to take it away from them, they got mad, the fight began, we bumped into more creatures, the rest is history." Replies August, summarizing the events of how they ended fighting.

"Did you try to call for help before your communications were disabled?" Asks Twilight, probably the Omega Team has been fighting for quite the time already.
"We tried, but as soon as we approached the forest, our comms were off, and we couldn't return to the path where we entered the forest because we were being chased by those stupid wolves." Replied Robert, he's been fighting against many creatures that inhabit the Everfree Forest, so it's normal he sounds jaded.
Leon then adds. "Anyway, we're out of that wretched forest and we thank you for your help..." He tries to thank Twilight but he doesn't know her name. "...Twilight." Said August right after Leon stopped talking, she then looks at Jerome and asks. "Jerome, did you bring something to fix this?" Said August while pointing to the device.
"Isabel, can we fix it?" Asked Jerome while he was extending his hand, an AI appeared on his palm and replied.

"Hmmm... the power supply has minor damages, nothing to worry about... but, the control matrix is mostly destroyed, we can fix it if we can find replacements for the missing pieces, fortunately, the sensor remains intact so if it detects something it will beep but we won't know where exactly. Let me see the schematics, probably it will take us 3 days minimum to fix it and set it in motion again." Isabel then pops a digital blueprint of the device, Twilight looks at it surprised, she's never seen anything like that, yet she comprehends a few things of the design. "...The other option would be... to take the detection device off this world and take it to the Infinity, but who knows what can appear at the location where this device is supposed to surveil in the time the device is gone."
"Who did this device?" Asks Robert while he sees the blueprints, Jerome looks at himand replies. "It is an invention with the purpose of tracking down any portal that gets opened in this world and its not from our side, Tesla and his apprentice ma... hold on..." Jerome makes a pause as he interrupted himself and looks at Twilight, she notices it and gets confused for the situation. "What...? Did I do something wrong?"
"Of course not, Twilight but, tell me, do you understand anything that appears on the blueprints?" Asks Jerome, she remembered the other Twilight is Tesla's apprentice, maybe this Twilight can figure out a way to fix it in less time that the one Isabel suggests.
"I understand a few things, but I'd need to check again in some transcripts I made from books of Canterlot High to see if my suppositions are right. Let me go get them." Replies Twilight as she teleports to her library, she remains partly confused of the blueprints, but she's confident she'll find the answer in her library collection.
"Jerome, why didn't Chief come? He was the one assigned to this mission." Asks Leon, he sounds a bit worried of what could've happened to his friend.
"Something.... bad.... happened, John needs... time, to process the events." Replied Jerome, he doesn't want to talk about it but it's inevitable. "Is the Green Oldster ok?" Asks Robert, August is the only who remains silent, if it's something bad, discretion might be needed.
"He's not, physically, he's fine, emotionally, he's shattered...." Jerome was about to continue but then Twilight arrives with the book she was looking for and the diary she shares with Sunset Shimmer, her face is seems shocked, she already knows.
"Is Flash Sentry dead?!!" Asked Twilight, she can't believe it, it has to be a mistake. "I'm afraid yes, Twilight, if he was close to you, I'm sorry." Replies Jerome, suddenly he's interrupted by Leon. "The kid?!!! But... he was like a son to Chief, how did he die?!!" Asked Leon, the Omega Team knew Flash, not as much as the Red Team though, yet they considered Flash as their friend. "He was killed by Starkiller, he died protecting Sunset, her friends and his mother." Robert then says. "Now that shit's personal..." August interrupts robert and says. "They fuck with our friends, we have... to bring them retribution."
"Please tell me John is already hunting down those motherfuckers, I want to be at the front seat when they find their hideout to fucking kill them." Said Leon, they're angered, such thing cannot go unpunished, but Jerome calms everyone down.
"I know it's not something easy to cope with, but... both Starkiller and Kylo Ren acquired new powers, Chief said it's dark magic from Equestria, they're now threats that we can't handle ourselves. John is now trying to cope with the pain, but I'm afraid he won't ever be the same, he has seen a lot of death throughout his missions in our world and in other universes, the best we can do is to work harder, and of course.... we're going to kill those motherfuckers, in the meantime."
Twilight now has a sorrowful look. "Poor Sunset, I can't imagine the pain she's going through." Jerome approaches her and hunkers a bit, then he says. "She's doing her best right now, but... what if you pay her a visit after we're done with this?" Twilight then replies with a more cheerful smile. "Sound like a good idea, ok everypon... everyone, let's get to work!" Now with Twiilight's help, they might be able to fix the device in no time, but they have to hurry in order to not leave that area unprotected for too long.
Meanwhile....

"So... this is... hell? It looks like a huge dumpster. Y'know... It's quite ironical that your last hope relies in such a hopeless place. Do we have a plan, Chief?" Asks Eclipsed Sunlight as she admires the landscape, she never imagined that she'd be here.
"Yes, everyone, pay attention!" Exclaims Chief, the trio gathers and listens to his explanation. "We're now at the surface of hell, if we move forward through this ruins, we'll get to the entrance of the rings, once there we're going to look for Lucifer at the ring of Pride, if we move constantly with maximum 10 stops on our way there, we'll be there in two hell years, got it?" Asked Chief, he's then interrupted by Sunlight who asks surprised. "Hold up! Two years?!! I'd be twenty years old then, Kylo's going to notice my absence. Chief looks at her and replies with a serious voice. "I said hell years which is literally two days in your world, so we better hurry up." Sunlight accepts and now the group moves, it only took them 30 seconds after they started moving to come across with the first horde of demons.
The Slayer is the first one to jump into the slaughter, grabbing a demon by the neck, he's quickly sorround by the rest of the horde, but The Slayer starts killing many of them brutally with his guns and arms.

"Is he crazy?! What are we gonna do against all of them?!!" Asks Sunlight, Chief loads his assault rifle and says.

"Rip... and Tear." Chief then joins the fight, filling up the demons with bullets and tearing them apart with his strength.
Sunlight activates her dark powers and says to herself. "This is going to be a long journey." She then charges and joins the fight, creating a shockwave that brings down the smallers demons, she then creates dark blades with her power and starts slashing every demon she's coming across with.
It only took them 10 minutes to finish the horde, as they kept moving forward through hell, more and more demons started to sorround them, but they didn't flinch. Chief incrusted a grenade into a demon's body and use it as a massive explossive, knocking down many demons, he then proceeds to squash their heads with his fists, tear their arms off and piercing them with his fist. Then a Fireborn Baron apperas.

It charges directly against Chief, tackling him, Sunlight immobilizes the Baron with a dark blade, she then cuts off on of its arms with a dark sword and uses the blade of the Baron's arm to pierce its face with it, slicing its head in two, Sunlight then apporached to Chief and lend him a hand. "I suggest you to use your blades, your ammo is going to run out sooner or later."
Chief rejects Sunlight's hand, he stands up by himself and says. "If I start using them right now, I would become a brainless killing machine by the the time we reach the entrance to the rings." Chief takes his gun and starts shooting again, as they move through hell's domain, they leave a trail of dead bodies behind them.
After a killing many demons, the group makes their first stop, The Slayer makes a improvises a bonfire with demon meat and his flamethrower, while Sunlight contemplates the sight, she asks.

"Why does Hell looks like a dumpster?" Asked Sunlight with curiosity. Chief seats on a rock and replies. "Because it is, let me explain you. Hell has a tunnel-like form, but its upside down and its segmented in different levels, like this..." Chief then displays a hologram with the description he just said.

"...Although this is just a reference from a human description of hell, so take it with a grain of salt, the first difference, there are only seven rings or circles and Lucifer rules all over Hell at the Pride Ring, which is the top-most ring, the problem comes when we want to get there..." Chief makes a pause and changes the hologram to one of a plain, he then continues. "But only the sinners can arrive directly to the Ring of Pride, which is the only ring populated by them, the rest of the rings are populated with hellborn creatures. That's why we arrived at this dumpster, this is the connection of Hell that the Slayer's world has, and its the only one we have explored until this moment, in this part of Hell, all the remaints from his world lie here, every object that has been destroyed ends here.. it's like the opposite part of each universe, from one side there's life, and in this side, there's the opposite. Each universe has their own connection to Hell, but they still remain unknown to us." Added Chief, Hell seems to be complex yet simple, like two sides of the same coin.
"Did you get it?" Asked Chief, who now turned off the hologram and picked up his weapon. Sunlight remains thoughtful of what he just said, and the Devil owes Chief a favor, that sounds unbeliveable to her, Sunlight can't help herself but to ask Chief.
"Chief, what did you actually do that made the Devil owe you a favor?" Chief loads his assault rifle and the Doom Slayer is cleaning his dagger, both look at Sunlight but Chief replied. "It's a long story, but the short version is... I saved his daughter and he gave me this as a reward..." Chief then takes out a playing card with the image of a golden apple in the middle.
"Wow! It's like a... special... token?" Asks Sunlight while looking at the card, Chief then seals it inside his shoulder pad, sealing it to prevent the card from slipping. "It is, and I'm going to use to bring Flash's soul back from the Purgatory, that's why I've preserved his body in a cryogenic capsule." Replies Chief, Sunlight after seeing Chief's determination to bring Flash back, she can't help but to ask.
"Chief... sorry if it makes you feel bad but.... what was your... relationship with Flash that makes you so eager to bring him back?" Chief remains silent for a bit, he then takes courage and says. "When we first arrived to your world, we were looking for an anomally, coincidentally... Flash and his mother got involved in our mission, they helped us move through their world without being noticed, and when the mission was over, a bond was created between all of us, plus the fact that your world was... surprisingly peaceful. Also, my team and I had been thinking on settling down somewhere once the war ends, and your world seemed like the best option, we talked about it with the UNSC and Aura made the suggestion to use her home, but the UNSC made some improvements to it in order to transform it into our headquarters. After that, we spent time with Flash and his mother from time to time, and I realized that.... he.... Flash, used to see me as a fatherly figure, he came for advice with me, even though I'm not the best in many areas, I always did my best to advise him..." Chief then looks at the bonfire and says.
"... With time, I also realized that I began to see Flash as my son, and all I wanted was to protect him, but now... he's gone... and I won't tolerate that again, he's innocent... he should live peacefully for the years to come, not die at such a young age... that's... the reason I want him back... I've run many simulations with many methods to bring him back, but all of them failed... this is my last shot, Sunset..." Chief said while looking at Eclipsed Sunlight, he's not gonna let this chance slip out of his hand.
"We'll bring him back... I'm sure of it." Replies Sunlight with a serious voice, she doesn't know what else to say, the pain of loosing a son is nothing she'd ever experienced. "What about you?" Asks Chief to Sunlight, she is surprised for the question, after all, why would Chief even ask her something?
"M-Me?" Replies Sunlight a bit nervous, Chief then explains. "Yes, I don't know anything about you, excluding the fact that you have the same anger issues as your counterpart, and that you're a bit more violent than her." Sunlight now understands, maybe a sharing stories can help them endure this infernal journey, after all, they're going to be there for 2 years minimum, she thinks of how to start, she sighs and begins to tell.
"Well... I was a normal teenager but, let's just say I had no friends... at all, I only had my guitars and a few books... everything changed in my first school day at Canterlot High, I woke up late, missed the bus and when I arrived, I saw Sunset Shimmer ocupping my place, I waited for her to get out of school and I faced her.... *sighs* She took advantage of my fear and threaten me with eradicating me from existence if I didn't leave her alone. I left, only with my electric guitar and a few buck, I started working since then. I've had jobs as DJ, musical composer, waiter, bounty hunter which I'm not very proud of, and my last job was playing my guitars at bars or cafeterias."
"And why do you hate your counterpart?" Asks Chief with a calm voice, after all, Sunlight lost years of her life because of the selfish actions of the past Sunset Shimmer.
"Because she stole my life! I mean... everywhere I saw, she had that happy face that sickens me, everyone loves her! And what about me?! I was rotting in my apartment for years, alone, helpless, until Kylo offered me the chance to take revenge for what she did." Replies Eclipsed Sunlight, she got a bit angered by Chief's question.
"But do you know she wants to fix her mistake, right? She wants to help you, Sunset." Asks Chief, he's trying to make Sunlight reflect over her actions and seek a better future, Sunlight stands up and replies. "My name is Eclipsed Sunlight! And I-I don't want her help, she can't bring back those stolen years no matter what she thinks!" Chief only looks at her and replies with calmed voice. "Do you truly want those years back? What is that wish your soul truly yearns for?" Sunlight now doubts of her actions thanks to Chief's questions, but she comes back to her senses and says with a calm voice. "We can sort that out later, we have to keep moving, don't you think?" Chief and The Slayer stand up, The Slayer turns off the bonfire and takes a piece of flesh with the blade of his bracer.
"Are we actually going to eat that?" Asks Sunlight while looking at the cooked piece of meat, although it's edible, it doesn't feel right to eat a demon's meat.
"Believe it or not, demon meat is only... meat, it has no noxious agents, the only problem is that you have to cook it at a higher temperature than normal meat and let it cook for a bit longer. But once it's ready, you can eat it, wanna give it a try?" Replies Chief, it appears he already has experience with eating demon meat.
"Maybe later, I'm not hungry to be honest." Replies Sunlight, the truth is, she's a bit esceptic about eating that. "By the way, how does the Devil looks like?" Asks Sunlight while wondering how would he be, maybe he'll be a horned demon like depicted in many stories, or maybe he's a demonic goat, or maybe... "He's a a short, goofy and silly, jester, he always has that smile that might seem cheerful but I think it's a mischievous one, and although he's also a business man, he's an honest being, he might be many things, but not a liar." Replies Chief while walking, Sunlight got surprised by Chief's answer.
"You didn't get along very well, do you?" Asks back Sunlight with a funny voice. "Let's just say that we tried to kill each other in our first encounter... and as you would guess, it didn't end well." Replies Chief, the conversation ends there because they were interrupted by another horde of demons. As The Slayer and Sunlight killed the demons brutally, Chief used focused on using tactics and bullets to finish them all.
The group then resumes their long journey through Hell, killing the hordes of demons that come across their ways, bathing themselves with their blood.
Meanwhile at the Infinity, a day has passed since Chief left, Tesla enters his lab with a cheerful smile while looking at some annotations he's holding.

"Finally, with this data I can start the..." Tesla then raises his sight and sees Twilight filling his chalkboards with many formulas and graphics, Tesla got surprised for a bit, but he then asks. "T-Twilight, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in your world fulfilling with your academic responsabilities?" Twilight then stops writing and looks back at Tesla, she has a serious face, and with that same seriousness, she replies. "I should... but after the events at the observatory, I came to the conclusion that we're weak..." Twilight then takes a prototype from Tesla's table, it's seems to be a prototype that Tesla had designed a while ago, but Twilight made some adjustments to it, making it two pieces of armor with magnetic gloves that grab her arms completely and are linked to her geode by using small Super Tesla Coils, she then says. "...My friends and I lack the abilities to fight a threat like Kylo Ren, or even Sunset's counterpart, that's why we have to beat them with our own strength, which is..." Twilight then activates her geode and uses the energy that comes from the geode to power up her prototypes, she now looks at Tesla and says with determination. "...Science."
Tesla now with a smile on his face says. "Perfect! Then let's make science, Twilight!" Now they moved to the training room, which is now the testing room by Tesla's decree, they have a digital whiteboard, an item table besides it and an energy turret on the other side. After a few hours, and many failed tests, Tesla makes a correction in the formulas and says. "Alright Twilight, focus on the energy output, change the magnetic polarity on both of your gloves at opposites, put your palms together but leave some gap between them, and then..."
"Maximum the output, concentrate the energy at the center of the gap and it should create a black hole, and if I can't control it, cease the power source immediately, got it!" Said Twilight while taking position. Tesla then takes his distance, puts on his goggles and says. "Ok, test #36, ninth correction to the magnetical pressure formula.... this has to be the one, beginning test... now!!" As Tesla gave the signal, Twilight began to release an extreme amount of energy, which started to focus on through the Tesla Coils, amplifying Twilight's gravity grasp, applying a huge amount of pressure on her palms, after struggling to keep control for a few minutes, in the middle of the gap between her palms, a small dark sphere appears.
"Keep it steady!!" Says Tesla while looking at the sphere, they're close yet so far. "I'm doing it!!" Replies Twilight while struggling to make the sphere bigger but, she's also trying to keep it under control, now that it has a optimal size and it's stable, Tesla then grabs the energy turret and aims to the small Black Hole. "Steady Twilight!! Don't move or this might end bad for you!" Said Tesla while centering the weapon's muzzle, Tesla pulls the trigger, shooting many energy rounds, the Black Hole absorbed each one of the rounds, growing a bit bigger due to the energy it consumed. "Revert the cycle, now!!" Said Tesla, Twilight then with effort changes the direction of the magnetic fields oppositely, dissolving the black hole but thanks to the mechanism of her prototype, she managed to absorb the energy that the Black Hole absorbed, the Tesla Coils on her arms start emitting small amounts of energy, creating an electric net between the Tesla Coils and her geode. Twilight relaxes from the effort as she breathes heavily, Tesla then remains serious and takes an empty box from the item table and throws it at Twilight.
Twilight then throws a powered punch to the empty box, denting it and sending it flying away at least half a mile, but she used all the energy she abosrbed with her artificial Black Hole, after that, Tesla takes of his goggles and looks at the box surprised, he then looks back at Twilight, both start smiling and with an insane amount excitement they say. "YES!!!" Both start laughing as they accomplished something new, dominate magic and use it at will. "We made it Twilight!! We made it!!!" Says Tesla while finally giving the positive check on the prototype, Kelly then enters the training room and after seeing Twilight and Tesla celebrating, she asks. "Hey there! Why are you so cheerful? Did you find something new about Equestrian Magic?"
"Magic?!" Asks Twilight with a smile as she turns around, Tesla also turns around and says. "No, non, nem... NEIN!!! It's not magic...!!!" Then, both Tesla and Twilight point at Kelly with determination in their eyes and smiles in their faces and say at the same time.

"...IT'S SCIENCE!!!!" After they said that, they began to laugh again, Kelly smiles and approaches them, as they calm down, Tesla says. "...Hahaha... haha... sorry for our over enthusiasm Kelly, tell me, what brings you here?"
"Sorry to crash your party but, have you seen John? He's been missing for a whole day." Replies Kelly, Twilight changed her expression to confussion and asks. "Missing? Where was the last time you see him?" Kelly then says with a worried face. "Sunset said that he was here at the Infinity the last time she saw him, but I've asked everyone and they said that they didn't know. And now I'm worried for him."
Tesla then interrupts with a cheerful smile. "C'mon people, it's the Master Chief who we're talking about! Whatever he's doing, he'll be done with it before we even realize, you just have to be patient." Kelly agrees with Tesla, he has a point in his statement. "I guess you're right... anyway, if you hear anything, please let me know." Said Kelly before leaving, now Tesla then says. "Well... let's get to work Twilight, bring your friends here!! We can finish all the prototypes before tomorrow if we hurry!" Twilight then agrees with him as they now began to stablish new formulas for the remaining prototypes.
Back at Hell, almost two years have passed since they arrived at Hell, the group is resting inside a cave, Eclipsed Sunlight is eating a pice of meat while Chief is cleaning off the blood from his blades and the Doom Slayer is sharpening the blade of his bracer with a rock, although they preserve their suits, Chief now wears a brown cloak he found on a fortress, while Sunlight wears pieces of armor from cyberdemons, such as shoulder, knee and shin pads, while also her jacket shows many scratches and is a bit torn apart from the lower section of the jacket, while her pants seem a bit ripped and her hair shows that it has grown, but also that she has cut it with her dark blades, and also has many scratches on her body.

"Y'know... I'm starting to like this meat, although it stills seems weird to me." Says Sunlight after finishing the piece of meat she was eating. "I told you... here, drink." Chief said as he lends Sunlight a canteen they found back a while ago, Sunlight takes it and drinks a bit from it, rehydratating with every gulp she takes. "...Ahhh, thanks John, I really needed it..." Sunlight gives back the canteen, then after a bit of silence she says. "I would've never thought that I'd miss taking a shower so much, hahaha."
"And I wouldn't imagine that I'd end up becoming friends with you... no offense." Replies Chief with a calm voice, his armor shows to be wore down, while also having blood stains in it. "Hahaha... yeah, you're right... Chief... do you think... they would forgive me?" Asks Sunlight with a serious face, Chief sees that and replies with a warmth voice. "As long as you want to be forgiven, they will forgive you, but it will take time, probably more than you think." Sunlight looks a bit reflective, it appears that now she regrets her actions. "Guys... I don't want to crush the moment but, I think we have to move, I'm beginning to catch communications from the Red, Omega and Blue Team regarding your status Chief." Says Cortana, who shows up on Chief's hand.
"Wait... you were with us the whole time?!" Asks Sunlight, she never noticed that. "Of course I have, but I've been monitoring Chief's brain activity to moderate the usage of his blades, and also I've been tracking the communication channels from both the Resistance and the First Order." Replies Cortana with a smile on her face, she seems proud of admitting it, then, Chief stands up and also does everyone. "Anyway, Cortana's right, we need to move."
The group picks up their stuff and resume their journey, after walking for hours, they finally arrived to the entrance to the rings of Hell.

The dark door is being custodied by an inmense horde of demons, not hundreds, but probably a thousand, as the group prepare to engage combat, Cortana tells Chief. "You need to be moderate with those, if you over use them, you'll end up succumbing to their demonic power." Chief only unsheathes his blades but doesn't activate their powers, the Slayer takes his Super Shotgun from the back of his waist and Sunlight creates dark blades, they begin the bloodshed, dismembering, mutilating, tearing apart, slitting and decapitating every single demon, then many elite demons appear, Chief couldn't help but to unleash the power of the blades and striking down the demons brutally with his red lightnings, after taking them down, Chief cahrges against the remaining hundreds of demons and begins to slaughter them brutally. Once the killing's over, Sunlight and the Doom Slayer take back their weapons as there are no more threats, but one thing remains. "...U-uhm, guys... I need you to... s-stop Chief!" Said Cortana through their communicators, Sunlight looks at Chief who's now covered in blood and slashes a Baron of Hell endlessly, Sunlight takes Chief by the shoulders, to stop him from continuing his senseless attacks, the Doom Slayer then takes off Chief's blades from his hands and also his helmet, revealing Chief's face, wounded, with many scratches, and with small traces of white hair, also his eyes' iris were turned red and emitted red lightnings due to his blade's demonic power.
In a few seconds, his eyes turned back to his normal blue color, Chief finally calmed down and came back to his senses. "W-What happened?" Asks Chief, he seems lost. "You lost control Chief, you were slashing that corpse senselessly, but now you're ok, just... don't use your blades, ok?" Says Sunlight, she seemed a bit worried about Chief's welfare, he then stands up, puts on his helmet and attaches his blades at his back. "Understood, c'mon, we're almost there." Said Chief while heading to the door, as they opened it and started walking towards it, Sunlight notices that the Doom Slayer is not going with them. "Why is he standing there? Shouldn't he come with us?" Asks Sunlight confused, Chief looks at the Slayer who reloads his shotgun and turns around and begins to walk back to where they came from. "He's going to wait for us." Replied Chief, as now only Sunlight and Chief came across the door, a red light blinded them, and before they realize, they were falling, although they had a short moment to act, they managed to protect themselves from the fall, as they stood up, Sunlight lookead around and contemplated a city not very far from where they are.

"...Pentagram City?" Asks Sunlight while looking at the city with more detail, it looks... chaotic. "We're here, let's move." Replies Chief with a serious voice, he seems not enjoying being there, but they have to in order to bring Flash back, they're now almost at achieving the goal that brought them here in the first place.
It's time to meet old acquaintances again and try to make a deal... with the Devil himself. Although Chief is uncertain of what can happen from now on, he's determined to return with Flash's soul.

Author's Note
Hi everybody!!! I really hope you're doing just fine and if not, you'll see how everything will become better. I hope you liked this chapter, I recognize I used a lot more of text in these latest chapters, but I've been quite busy. And I'm lacking the spare time I used to have to draw my character, but be sure that I'll draw the corresponding designs once I'm free from my academic overload.
Wish you a nice day.
