Sunlight, Chief, and the Slayer appeared at the same spot where they left in the CHS world, but now they are at sun fall instead of nighttime. Chief, and the Slayer get up quickly, while Sunlight remains on the ground. As the portal closes above them, Sunlight said with sheer happiness.

“Finally! Home! I missed the grass so much!” Said Sunlight while lying on the ground and caressing the grass with happiness. “Yeah, we made it, but we have to move before anyone detects the portal that just closed.” Said Chief while helping Sunlight to get up.

Chief then heads to the place where was the portal machine that brought them to hell, but he looks inside a bush and retrieves a small bag that contained a device capable of opening portals. “Ok, this thing has two shots, so let's do it quickly, you go first Slayer.” Said Chief while preparing the device, he then shoots a beam that creates a portal in front of them, the Slayer only looks at Chief and nods with his head, as to say goodbye but without words. He then goes across the portal and leaves the team, Chief turns around and asks Sunlight.

“Do you want to go anywhere controlled by the First Order so that they can find you?” Said Chief while preparing the device, but he's interrupted by Sunlight, who replied with a calmed voice. “N-No, thanks for the offer John, but I rather stay here for a little longer, there are... things... I need to solve.”

“What exactly?” Asks Chief with curiosity, Sunlight wanted to keep it private, but she can't cope with the lump in her throat any longer. “I-I want to... make amends with Sunset... the time we were in Hell, you helped me to realize that my decisions have been benefiting no one, instead...” Sunlight then looks at her hands and says with a reflective voice. “... I've only hurt those people who wanted to help me...” Sunlight then closes her hands and raises her head, with determination, she says.

“... That's why I have to make up for what I did, at least... that's what I think is the righteous thing to do.” Said Sunlight, a silence began to flood the environment, Sunlight understands Chief's silence as disagreement, she then says with a shamed voice. “If you think it's a bad idea...” Chief then approaches Sunlight and interrupts her with a compassionate voice. “Actually, it's a perfect idea...” Chief then puts his hand on her shoulder and continues.

“... The mere fact that you want to make amends, means that deep inside you're willing to change for the better, and that's something they will realize eventually, but it depends on you to make them see that earlier. And... if you feel overwhelmed by the pressure, you can count on Sunset Shimmer to help you... after all, she's been on a similar situation... but I'll leave that up to her to explain it to you.” After this, Sunlight smiles gratefully and can't help herself but to hug Chief as she drops a few tears, she can certainly say that Chief is the first true friend she makes in years. “Thanks, Chief... for... believing in me... I-I really needed it.” Chief remains still and says with a kind voice. “You know my name, Sunlight... use it.” Sunlight chuckles a bit and as she stops hugging him, she replies.

“Haha... ok... thank you, John...” Said Sunlight as she wiped the tears off her face, then, with a smile on her face, she says. “I think I finally understand how Flash felt whenever he asked for advice from you... you truly give some fatherly vibes.”

“If you say so...” Replied Chief with a friendly voice, he then gives Sunlight back her gun and asks her. “Are you going to keep it or should I take it with me?” Sunlight looks at the gun for a bit, she then replies. “I think it'd be in better hands with you whether than me, so you should keep it.” Chief holsters the gun on his waist and says. “Well... I think this is where we part ways, Sunlight.” Said Chief as he put his hood on and was ready to leave, but he's stopped by Sunlight who asks him.

“Hey! Uhm... can you please tell Sunset of what we talked about? If I'm going to make things right, at least I want to start by talking with her.” Chief looks at her and, with a serious but positive voice, says. “Consider it done.” Chief now leaves by going deeper into the forest, he has a place to go, just as Sunlight who leaves, heading to her apartment.

Meanwhile, at Flash's house, the girls seem to be planning something along with the Blue Team, they all seem to be preparing their equipment for a battle.

“Alright everyone, our readings indicate that a portal opened a bit far from here, deep in the forest, its properties show that it's not from the First Order, and obviously it ain't ours either, so whoever or whatever came from it, may be dangerous.” Said Fred while loading his gun and attaching it to his back.

“You heard him, girls, let's make these days of training pay off.” Said Twilight while powering up her suit, the seriousness on her face shows determination, whereas Sunset then says.

“Yeah, but we also have to be careful, as Fred said, we don't know what came out from it.” Said Sunlight with a calmed voice, while calibrating her suit.

Kelly then approaches Fred and asks him in a low voice. “Do you think it might be John?” Fred looks at her and replies with a serious voice. “I hope so, he has a lot of explanation to give us... Alright everyone!...” Fred is then interrupted by Aura, who says with a serious voice.

“I'll go with you, if John returned, I have to know why he left in the first place. And I won't take no for an answer.” Said Aura while grabbing Fred's arm, he looks at her and replies. “Well... if that's the case, you'll need a gun.” Said Fred while lending her his handgun.

Aura takes it and loads it, then she holsters it on the back part of her waist. “Don't you want a bigger gun?” Asks Linda while loading her sniper rifle, Aura slightly smiles and replies. “Nah, this will do it.” Fred then steps forth and says to the group. “Alright team! Let's get moving!” As soon as he said that, everyone head to the garage and hopped into the armored van.

In the meanwhile, as the night falls, Chief walks through the forest while is having a conversation with Cortana. “How should I talk to them?” Asks Chief with slight signs of nervousness, he knows he has to give explanations, but he prefers to avoid telling the truth directly, Cortana appears in his shoulder and sits down, crossing her legs and starts saying.

“Well... first... you left without telling them, so that might have made them feel like you don't trust them enough or something like that. Then... while you were gone technically for two days, you didn't answer any of their calls, which should've made them worry even more about you, or even they told everyone at the Infinity that you went missing. Summarizing all of that, I think that the best course of action is... tell the truth?”

"And who am I supposed to say it? Hey guys, sorry for leaving and for returning without telling you, I went to Hell to bring Flash back from the dead?" Said Chief with a mocking voice, he then sighs deeply and says. "They're not going to believe me, or probably they will, and they'll end up eagerly waiting for him to wake up when Lucifer said that'll take days. *sighs* I'm screwed, am I right?" Said Chief with a disheartened voice.

"Those are the consequences of our actions, and sometimes, some events are unavoidable, just like now." Replies Cortana, trying to encourage him, and although it works a bit, it still isn't enough to make him feel any relief.

"AGH!" Shouted Chief, while falling to the ground on his knees, he uses his blades to keep equilibrium. "John, what happened?" Asked a concerned Cortana. "My head... it... aches!" Said Chief in pain while grabbing his head with one hand, Cortana quickly analizes him and finds out the cause behind this. "Chief I think I know what is causing the pain, it's..." Cortana's voice suddenly stops, leaving Chief in complete silence and intrigue. "What is it?... Cortana?... Cortana?!" Asked Chief desperately but he had no answer, the pain ceased, but as he stood up, there was nothing but a despairing silence all across the woods, no animals, no wind, utterly... silent.

Chief takes his blades and raises his guard, whatever happened, it's preventing him from hearing Cortana, the forest was already silent, but this is something completely unexpected, as Chief moves cuatiously throughout the forest, his radar detects a signal designated as hostile, he then proceeds to that direction, whilst Cortana tries to talk to him. "Chief? Can you hear me?! Drop the blades! They are the ones making you hallucinate!" Despite her efforts, her words seem not to reach Chief at all, and as she tries to stop him by using the systems of his armor, she's unable to use them as Chief removes her permissions as she tries different methods.

On the other side of the Forest, the Blue Team and the girls are proceeding to the spot marked by the detectors back at their hideout, Fred leads everyone as he then says. "Everyone stay sharp, we don't want any suprises..." He's then interrupted by an incoming call, it's from Jerome, Fred answers and asks. "What happened Jerome?" Asked Fred to Jerome, who is now right outside Canterlot High along with the Omega Team and Princess Twilight, Jerome then replies. "Yeah... so we completed our mission and we're back, but we brought a visitor, and we appeared at some school, Princess Twilight says this is Canterlot High, but I have no idea... can you open a portal for us to group up with you?" Asked Jerome, despite being a Spartan, he can also get lost.

Fred stops suddenly and says. "Princess... Twilight?" Fred then looks at Twilight with confusion and asks then asks. "Why are you at Canterlot High? Did you got lost or something?"

Jerome then replies with an irritated voice. "Hey! Don't laugh about me, it wasn't my decision and you know it. What are you doing anyway?"

Fred then takes cover behind a tree and replies. "About that... we're tracking down an unknown portal that opened in the forest, it's not from ours, nor from the First Order, so if you want to wait until..." He's then interrupted by Jerome who replies with a friendly voice. "We can help you out, we're four Spartans and aPrincess form other world..." Isabel appears on Jerome's hand and says. "I've already tracked down their position, let's move." Jerome then resumes his conversation. "...Y'know Fred, we're heading to you right now, just don't get yourselves killed, got it?" After that, Jerome ended the call and they began to move towards Fred's position.

"Fine, let's deal with this quickly team." Said Fred while resuming their advance, after a short time walking, they hear a branch crack near them, the whole team stops suddenly thanks to Fred, who raised his punch as a sign to stop, he then quitely and with hand signs ordered the team to take different positions, while Aura and Linda stayed in the backlines, the girls sorrounded the perimeter and Fred and Kelly were about to take the vanguard, as soon as they began to approach to where the sound came from, they see a dark figure standing still.

"Can anyone see who it is?" Asks Fred in extremely low voice through his communicator, Twilight replied with also an extremely low voice. "It's too dark, and moonlight only reveals that the person is wearing a cloak, and..." Before she's able to complete her sentence, Pinkie Pie steps on a branch, creating a small sound but it's loud enough to be heard by everyone, even for the shadowy figure, who turns around frightengly quickly, the girls hide behind the bushes and trees in order not to be seen.

"Who's there? Reveal yourselves!" Said the figure, after hearing his voice, everyone were in shock, the Blue Team and Aura quickly realize who's that figure, it's... Master Chief, with big relief Fred stands up and comes out of the bushes and confronts Chief.

"John! Finally, you're back! Where the hell did you go?" Asked Fred, but Chief doesn't respond, he only stands still as he clenches his blades and grabs one upside down, his blades started emitting a blood red light due to the runes, illuminating him, revealing his decayed state, a damaged armor, with traces of dry blood and scratches all over the armor.

The rest of the team comes out of the woods, thinking their friend was only startled for a bit. "Chief c'mon! Aren't you going to respond or what?" Insisted Fred, but just as before, Chief doesn't respond, in his mind he doesn't see his friends, he sees a bunch of evil creatures that he can't even describe, he remains still as he tries to understand what exactly is he seeing.

"Stay...back!!!!" Said Cortana intermittently throughout everyone's communicator. "Was that... Cortana?" Asks a confused Kelly, Fred then replies with also a confused voice. "I think, let me check quickly what's happening..." Fred then turns on the flashlight of his helmet to have a better look, but for Chief, it appeared as he was about to be attacked by a creature's evil eyes, in a quick moment, Chief punched Fred in the face, but this one wasn't like any other punch, this was powered by his blades, making him stronger.

Fred falls back as everyone reacts shocked by what just happened, Fred recovers from the punch and replies with an angered voice. "The hell is wrong with you?! Have you gone crazy or wh..." Before he finishes his sentence, Chief charged at him with his blades, aiming to stab him, fortunately, Fred was fast enough to dodge the attack and he grabs Chief by the arms and confronts him.

"John, whatever is happening... snap out of it!!! Fight it!!" Both are struggling to win, but Chief replies with anger. "Who are you demons and what are you doing in my home?!" After that, everyone got confused even more, even Fred, who lowers his guard just for a milisecond, but it was enough for Chief to knee him in the abdomen, making Fred release Chief, who then swung his blades to cut Fred in a half, but he dodges it by miracle, just receiving a cut on his chestplate, but before he's able to recover from it, he's kicked by Chief and is then send flying back to the woods, crashing with a tree and falling to the ground, Aura runs desperately to help him.

Suddenly, Chief is hit in the back by an explosion, one strong enough to down his shields and send him flying and burns his cloak. Chief takes his burning cloak off and as he turns around, he sees Pinkie Pie holding a granade that combines different chemicals to create powerful explosives.

But of course, he doesn't see Pinkie Pie, he sees a demonic being holding a blazing sphere. As Pinkie shakes to activate her power and throws the granade, Chief runs quickly and takes the granade before it explodes and throws it back at them, exploding dangerously close to them, but fortunately Twilight got in the way and absorbed the explosion with a small black hole, she then absorbs the energy of it and before she realizes, Chief is right in front of them, about to swing his blades, but he then receives a shot from Linda, one that makes him stumble, he's then tackled by Kelly who manages to bring him to the ground.

"John, please!! Stop this, you're not like this!" Said Kelly while trying to hold him off, but as she struggles, Chief becomes stronger due to the blades, and with anger he shouts. "Get away from me!!" And with a shock wave throws her away, and after standing up, he's then trapped by Rarity in a diamond cage, Twilight then uses her powers to ground the cage, with a disconcerted voice, Rarity asks. "Why is Chief attacking us?!!" Twilight with effort replies. "I don't know but... we have to... hold him off!!"

As Fred stands up, Cortana managed to link with him and the rest of the team, finally, she brings them up to date. "John has been using his blades quite a lot, and now is affecting him... right now, he's in a illusion created by the blades to make him more violent... the only way to free him is by taking the blades away from him!" As soon as she says that, Chief uses his blades to break free from the cage by slashing it savagely, he then charges straight against Twilight and Rarity, but he's stopped by Applejack, who punches him in the chest, and thanks to her new gauntlets, the energy of the first impact redirects again and creates a second hit, sending Chief away into the deep woods.

"We better come up with a good plan if we want to take him down." Said Applejack before clashing her fists, powering up her gauntlets, Rainbow Dash stands right next to her, both decided to fight him, then from the woods in a brief moment, Chief comes out spinning his blades and blocks the shots that come from Kelly and Linda, he then charges against Applejack and Rainbow Dash. "Move!" Said Rainbow Dash as both she and Applejack dodged Chief's strike, afterwards, Rainbow Dash attacks Chief from the back with a powered double kick, pushing him towards Applejack who punches him in the chest, but the kinetic energy from the punch charged her gauntlet and created another impact with the same strength of the first hit, pushing Chief away significantly and stunning him in the process.

"Good job! We have to take the blades off him, got it?" Said Fred as he joined Rainbow Dash and Applejack unsheathing his knives, Chief stands up with effort, but he rages and charges at a high speed swinging his blades, Fred clashes with him and with effort, he managed to throw Chief backwards from him, as Chief lands he receives a shot from a light beam behind him, he turns around and sees Sunset aiming at him with her hand, downing Chief's shields.

"John, you have to snap out of it, please!!" Said Sunset with desperation, she doesn't want to hurt him but it appears there's no other option, Chief looks at her still, maybe her words managed to brak through the illusion, but as everyone gets closer to him slowly, Chief starts to panic and slashes his blades around him, creating space between them, Sunset creates a rapier and charges against Chief, clashing blades, beginning their fight. Sunset is quickly overwhelmed by Chief's strangth and speed and with a punch, he sends Sunset flying away, Pinkie throws more bombs to stun Chief, but he realizes that and cuts them before they explode, reducing the explosions significantly, he heads towards Pinkie but is pushed away by Rarity, who created a diamond big enough to push him.

Rarity then gives her friends some modules that were pieces of her armor from her shoulder, elbow and knee pads, Rarity activates her power through the modules, giving her friends extra protection by creating armor with her diamonds. "Nice one Rarity." Said Applejack while facing Chief directly, with her strength, she punches the ground shattering it, and with the second impact she focuses it on the piece of rock where chief stands, sending him flying, Twilight used her powers to grab Chief midair and smack him to the ground fiercely, it appears they finally made it, as the dust cloud from the impact dissipates, the girls surround the area, unfortunately for them, Chief threw some granades in all directions, Rarity quickly uses more power to create personal shields around herself and her friends, only receiving the shockwave from the explosions.

As Chief comes out of the smoke, he's then attacked by Fred who uses his knives to counter Chief's blades, both seem to be at the same level of strength and technique, but Chief outsmarts him by spinning his blades with one hand while taking Eclipsed Sunlight's pistol with the other hand, exerting pressure on Fred by receiving the shots and then is forced to move away by Chief's spinning blades, Fred is then quicked by Chief and is sent away, Chief holsters the pistol and takes his blades with both hands.

Linda shoots her sniper rifle towards Chief, he blocked the shot almost by luck, but he's then attacked by Kelly who shoots her shotgun, making Chief stumble again and then he's hit by a sniper shot from Linda, Chief spins his blades separately to block both incoming shots. "John, drop your blades!!" Said Kelly while charging against him and using her shotgun to stop Chief from spinning one blade, she takes that chance to knock him down with a punch, but he responds quickly with a punch and takes Kelly from her arm and throws her away, but she's then catched by Linda.

"He's not listening." Said Linda as she put Kelly down, and while removing the scope of her sniper, she approaches Chief while shooting multiple times, forcing him to block every shot, but he uses his powers to dodge a shot and cuts Linda's sniper, forcing the melee combat, but as Linda only used her knife to fight, Chief quickly defeated her and with a punch, she's sent flying away towards the girls, Aura starts shooting to Chief, making him turn towards her and starts approaching her while blocking every shot, once he's close enough he swings his blades, Aura dodges the attack by crouching, only a tree go cut down, she begans to run away while reloading and starts shooting again, forcing Chief to chase her down.

The rest of the team takes this chance to rethink of a strategy. "Ok, does anyone has an actual plan on how are we going to take the blades off him?" Asks an stressed Rainbow Dash as she helps Sunset get up. "We have to immobilize him but... the question is... how can we hold him off for enough time to take the blades off?" Asks Fred, he then starts thinking of a plan, but he realizes Aura is fighting John all by herself, he then says. "Girls! You think of something, Blue Team, with me!!" Said Fred aloud, afterwards, he, Kelly and Linda start moving towards the deep forest, as soon as they left, Twilight comes up with an idea.

"Ok, maybe if we divert him enough, Rarity can use her magic to tie his limbs, making unable to move, therefore we might have a chance to take his blades off his hands." Said Twilight to the group with a serious voice, Sunset complements Twilight's plan by saying. "Ok, let's define the roles... Rainbow Dash, Applejack, you're our best fighters, keeping you at the front we'll be the best to draw Chief's attention..." Sunset makes a pause and continues. "...Pinkie Pie, Rarity, you work better at supporting from the distance, Pinkie will stun Chief enough for us to make a move, while Rarity will have to focus on protecting everyone..." Sunset then turns at Fluttershy and says. "...Fluttershy... remember, if things get too complicated, use that technique of yours, got it?" Fluttershy agreed with her head, Sunset turns around and says. "Twilight and I will be in both supportive and offensive roles, ok everyone, let's move!!" As Sunset finished explaining her strategy, the group began to move.

When they arrived at the spot, they see Chief choking Aura, whilst the rest of the Blue Team lies on the ground, wounded. "John... this is not you, whatever... is going on... you have to... be stronger..." Said Aura as she was fading out, but before she completely passes out, Chief throws her away, fortunately Twilight grabs her with her powers and pulls her towards them, Chief looks at them, he seems confused, scared, but before the girls are able to do anything, Chief starts running. "Stop him!" Said Sunset aloud, then, Rainbow Dash uses her speed to stop Chief immediately and hits him with a powered spinning kick, Chief blocks it but he's pushed away by the impact, he then sees Applejack approaching about to punch him, but he swings his blades, clashing her gauntlet with his blade, both lose equilibrium due to the shockwave of the clash, but Chief recovers faster and as he was about to strike AJ down, she's saved by Rainbow Dash.

Chief realizes she's a threat and after quickly anylizing Rainbow Dash's moves, he draws Sunlight's pistol and shoots it where she'd be, right after Rainbow Dashed stopped, she's hit on her thigh by the shot, bringing her to the ground in pain, AJ quickly takes a big rock and throws it at Chief, who swings his blades to slash the rock, but he's then punched by Applejack with enough strength to bring him to the ground, Applejack gets over him and immbolizes his arms with her right leg and left arm.

"Master Chief, you don't leave me any other option!" Said Applejack as she was about to land a powerful punch upon Chief, but he keeps his gun on hand, and aims it to Fluttershy, in a desperate attempt, Applejack uses both of her hands to stop Chief from shooting, but she removes her leg in the process, freeing Chief's left arm, Chief then clenches his fist and punches Applejack, making her fall back, as Chief stands up, Applejack grabs him by his arm and pulls him, Sunset then approaches to land a powered up blow, but Chief quickly holsters his gun and grabs his knife, then he stabs Applejack on the left side of her abdomen, thanks to her armor, the knife didn't pierced through her totally, preventing any several damage, but making Applejack release him to grab her wound, Sunset stops immediately and heads to help Applejack, who now falls to the ground, Sunset acts quickly and uses her healing flames to heal Applejack's wound succesfully.

Chief takes this chance to run away, but he's then stopped by Twilight's gravitational grab, exerting a ton of pressure upon him, but with effort, Chief manages to counter her power and aims his gun to Twilight, he then shoots forcing Twilight to stop using her power, but Rarity blocks the bullet with a diamond, stopping the bullet from hurting Twilight but embedding in the diamond, Chief then holsters the gun and takes a granade and throws it at them, forcing the girls to split in order to avoid the explosion, Chief then runs away into the deep forest.

Sunset choses to chase him, not before telling everyone. "Girls, check on the wounded, I'll chase him down." Said Sunset with determination as she used her powers to fortify her armor with light and proceeds to leave, Applejack stands up and heads to help Rainbow Dash to put pressure on the wound. "It appears our plan didn't go any well." Said AJ with a humoristic voice as she arrived, but Rainbow Dash still groans from the pain, while small traces of blood start dripping, Aura then arrives and helps them. "The bullet pierced through a vein..." Aura takes off her jacket and rips off one of her sleeves and says as she wraps it around Rainbow Dash's leg. "...Fortunately for you, the armor slowed the bullet enough so that it doesn't pierces your whole leg, Applejack tight it up." Ordered Aura, Rainbow Dash then starts screaming from pain as Applejack tights up the sleeve to stop the bleeding, once she's done, Aura says. "With this, you'll be fine, but we have to take off the bullet as soon as we arrived, got it?" Said Aura, she then stands up and goes with the girls to help the rest of the Blue Team.

Sunset shoots light beams to slow Chief down, which seem to be fruitful but as Chief made a move to draw the gun, Sunset aimed her gauntlet to his hand, Chief turns around as he was about to aim at Sunset head, but she's faster and disarms Chief, who then stops and as he was about to swing his blades, Sunset created a light blade to clash with him, now they begin to clash their weapons but just as happened before, Sunset is overwhelmed by Chief, she then chooses to block his attack with both of her bracers, she was about to fall on her knees when the central part of her chestplate opens and reveals a bigger repulsor, she focuses her magic into it and shoots a powerful beam that pushes Chief away, Sunset now falls on her knees as she breaths heavily and the center of her chestplate closes.

Chief stands up and approaches to Sunset, who only musters the enough strength to stand up and fortify her armor again. "John, you have to listen, you're hurting everyone, even your family!!" Said Sunset in a desperate attempt to make him come back to his senses, but it's in vain, Chief can't hear anything but a strange language from a demonic creature that takes Sunset's place in his illusion, he then raises his blades, Sunset closes her eyes and prepares to block the hit and as he swings his blades down, a clashing sound can be heard, Sunset opens her eyes and sees someone who stopped Chief's attack by blocking it.

"I arrived in a good moment, didn't I?" Asks Eclipsed Sunlight, who then swings away Chief's blades and follows with a series of fast blows and with a kick she pushes Chief away even more. "S-Sunset? H-How did you find us?" Asks Sunset Shimmer surprised of seeing her counterpart, who looks at her and replies. "The name is Eclipsed Sunlight now, I was nearby and I heard all the noise you were doing, so... would you mind to tell me why was John about to kill you?" Asked Sunlight while assuming a fighting stance.

"Y-Yeah, we detected a portal opening up near here, and we found Chief on our way there, but he started attacking us all out of sudden and Cortana said it's an illusion from his blades." Replied Sunset while trying to copy Sunlight's fighting stance.

"Ugh... great, we have to take his blades off, I'll face him directly, you attack him from the distance, got it?" Asked Sunlight, Sunset agrees with her head, afterwards Sunlight charges at Chief, surprisingly she can keep up with his speed and strength, Sunset starts shooting light beams, making Chief lose his ground and being overwhelmed by Sunlight's martial techniques.

"There!" Said Sunset after hitting Chief with an even more powerful beam, making him lose even more ground, Sunlight then jumps on his back and pulls his arms in order to stop him from attacking, but Chief runs backwards and crashes with a rock, making Sunlight release him as she falls to the ground, Chief turns around and tries to punch her, but Sunlight dodges it by rolling and before she's able to stand up, Chief kneels her in the face and swings his blades, Sunlight is only able to block before receiving the hit and being sent flying away and crashes with some trees, Sunset jumped in her rescue, creating a light barrier to stop Chief's attack, as both struggle in their clash, a rock hits Chief's helmet, he then turns around and sees Fluttershy standing behind him, despite being alone, determination can be seen on her face.

Sunset puts down the barrier as she feels no more pressure from Chief's attack, she sees Fluttershy and says. "Fluttershy, be..." She's then kicked by Chief on the belly, sending her backwards, Sunlight catches her and both crash against a tree.

"You've been hurting my friends Chief, and despite I hate doing this, you leave me no other option..." Said Fluttershy with determination, she then assumes a defensive stance, her left hand lies in front of her while her right hand lies upwards, then with a low voice, she says. "Chi You, Armor form...:"

Chief starts approaching her and as he starts to swing his blades, Fluttershy sees through her visor, Chief's crux on his attack, which is his left shoulder's joint, her magic starts to build up and her armor changes, focusing more of the armor plates on her left hand, Chief finally attacks and as soon as Fluttershy blocks the hit with her left hand, energy starts to flow through her armor, redirecting it to her right hand. Fluttershy then pokes Chief's left shoulder joint with a quick but strong hit of her index and middle fingers, and quickly changes targets, she now aims at Chief's abdomen with her right hand, and as now Chief's weakened, she swung away his blades with her left hand, and then unleashes a punch with her other hand, right on his abdomen with not only the strength of his attack, but also doubled thanks to her armor. The punch is so strong that not only stuns Chief significantly, but also sends him flying away, back where the girls were.

"...Heavenly Hand of Defense." Said Fluttershy as she unleashed the punch, she then goes quickly to help both Sunset and Sunlight. "Sorry I took so long, are you two ok?" Asks a concerned Fluttershy. "Yeah, that was a good hit Fluttershy." Replied Sunset as she stands up, Sunlight looks at Fluttershy with a shocked face, she then says. "Since when can you do that?! It's amazing!"

Fluttershy then replies with a kind voice. "Well... whilst my friends trained for days, I had to train my martial technique for months to use it like that, but thanks to a good friend of Fred and Time-Space continuity, it only passed two days here in my world."

Sunset looks from behind with a smile, while Sunlight remains shocked. "We have to go, the battle is not over yet." Said Sunset, interrupting their chat, quickly the three of them began to move, while Chief remained on the ground, that punch was so powerful that he's having a hard time trying to breathe, he struggles to stand up, while everyone sees him surprised, as he just crashed abruptly there, but fortunately, they knew how to act fast, the girls surrounded Chief, and began to overwhleming with punches, explosions, rocks and diamonds, blocking his attacks and also stopping him from going anywhere, then Sunset and Fluttershy arrived, followed by Eclipsed Sunlight. "Don't give him a chance to think!" Said Sunset aloud.

Now light beams and blades from Sunset, along with strong punches and kicks from Sunlight, created the perfect chance fro Twilight to lift Chief in the air. "Everyone, move away!" Said Twilight before using all the energy she stored on her suit to smack Chief tremendously on the ground, finally knocking him down, Chief tries to stand up, but he can't muster the enough strength and falls to the ground unconscious, Twilight then takes the blades off with her power. "So... how are we going to move him?" Asks Rarity while helping Rainbow Dash move. The Blue Team and Aura also approaches and sees Chief lying on the ground unconsciously.

"I think we have more important business to deal with." Said Applejack while looking to Sunlight, who moves away, separating from the group and says with a ashamed voice. "Listen, I only came here to help, I was going home when... AGH!" Sunlight then receives a shot that pierces through her right shoulder, everyone looks at the culprit and is Aura the one who pulled the trigger. "I don't care what you have to say, you got Flash killed!!!" Said Aura with tears on her face as Fred then takes the gun off her hands, Sunset then stands between Sunlight and the group and says. "She's saying the truth, if it weren't for her, I would've died by Chief's attack a while ago, she saved me..." Sunset then turns around and tells Sunlight. "... I'm sorry Sunlight, but this is not a safe place to stay, you have to go." Sunset then puts her hand on Sunlight's shoulder and with the flames she earned from Flash, she completely heals Sunlight's wound. "Yeah... I think you're right, but I also deserved it... thanks though." Sunlight says as she then was about to leave, Sunset smiles with compassion and then turns around, just to be criticized by everyone.

"Why did you let her leave?" Asks Linda with a serious voice, Twilight then also says. "She's right Sunset, she's not someone that you should let go, we should've taken her into custody." Sunset then interrupts them and says with a serious voice. "She just made a few bad choices and now she's treated as a monster? What's wrong with you?!" Aura then stands forth and confronts her. "She got Flash killed, yet you defend her? The question should be towards you Sunset, what are you thinking?"

"She wasn't the culprit, that dark magic is the one corrupting her, and also, it wasn't she who killed Flash, it was Starkiller, and yes!... it hurts me to think that she was involved in it, but just as me, she also did very bad choices while chasing an empty dream, am I wrong for wanting to give her another chance?" Asks Sunset with determination, fortunately, before the quarrel extends, Kelly interrupts by saying.

"Ok, let's calm down everyone! We need to solve Chief's mystery first, remember? We can discuss anything you want once we're done, c'mon, who's going to help me carry him?" Asked Kelly, Fred then helps her carry Chief, they were about to move when from the bushes, Jerome, Princess Twilight and the Omega Team finally arrived.

"Alright, cavalry's here!!" Said Robert while everyone assumes a offensive position, except for Princess Twilight. "Wait! Is that... John?!" asked Jerome with a confused voice, he along the Omega Team holster their guns, Jerome then approaches and looks at Chief. "He looks like shit, what happened to him?" Fred looks at him while takes Chief's arm and puts it around his neck and says. "It's a long story, we'll explain you all later, how was your mission?"

"Well, excluding we killed some of the wildlife of Equestria, everything went pretty well." Said Jerome with a humoristic voice. As they began to move, Princess Twilight approaches the girls and is received by a warm groupal hug, she then grabs Sunset and hugs her.

"I'm deeply sorry for your loss... I... wanted to see if you were doing well." Said Twilight with a compassionate voice, Sunset replies with a slight smile and says. "Thanks... Twilight, it hasn't been easy but... we've managed to focus on other matters." Said Sunset while looking at her friends, who stand proud as they show their new battle suits. "I can see that... also, I've brought some information that might be useful towards those visions you mentioned, but we can talk later of that, for now we have to return with the others" Said Princess Twilight as the group joined the others. "Y'know... maybe you can tell me how this armors work, don't you think?" Asks Princess Twilight aloud, with excitement and a friendly voice, Sci Twilight replied.

"Of course, did you bring pen and paper?" The group shared stories as they were heading back to the headquarters, trying to alliviate the tension in the environment, once they arrived, everyone takes a seat on the leaving room of the house, fortunately there was plenty of space for everyone, they began to chat and theorize about what could be the reason Chief left in the first place, but they'll only get their answers once Chief wakes up.

A memory starts playing, taking us back to a moment in time where Chief and Flash were having a conversation at night standing on the balcony a few days after the Battle of the Bands.

"Your mother said that you've been acting weird recently, mind to tell me why?" Asks Chief while taking drinking from a beer, Flash deeply sighs and replies with a frustrated voice. "Chie-... John, have you ever felt like you screwed it up with someone? Like, you had a good relationship but now is in danger because you behaved like a complete jerk?" Said Flash while looking at the moon with a reflective face.

Chief then looks also at the moon and replies with a serious voice. "Not at such level... but I can help you if you tell me what happened." Flash then covers his face with shame and says.

"I behaved like an asshole in front of my crush, and although it appeared things were back at how they were, I can't stop feeling bad about it." Said Flash while taking his hands off his face, Chief looks at him and replies. "And why did that happened? You never behave like that." Said Chief while putting his beer aside and looks at him silently, waiting for Flash to respond, and although it took him a bit, he finally replies.

"There was this competition... The Battle of the Bands, it was an idea of some new students who used magic to extrapolate the negative emotions of everyone to make them become over competitive jerks." After hearing that, Chief looks amazed and says. "And what about your training? You could've done something about those girls." Chief's then interrupted by Flash. "I know! and that's what angers me the most, I was a fool and because of letting my guard down, they extended their stay longer than they should've."

"How did you stopped those students from creating any more chaos?" Asked Chief, although he's interested in listening Flash's story, he can't ignore the fact that there were magical students with powers they could've used to create more chaos.

"There were... people... with powers that managed to defeat them, and... now I begin to wonder why did you assign me the task of protecting this world." Replies Flash with a sad face, Chief chooses to ignore what he said about people with powers and then he puts his hand on his shoulder and says with a warmth voice. "Because I know what you're truly capable of, one day, you'll have to be the one to protect everyone, and you have to be ready when that moment arrives..." Chief makes a pause to take off his hand and change the topic. "...Now, about that girl you mentioned, I'm not... the most experimented in that field, but I can say that although you were magically manipulated, it doesn't remove the fact of what you did, it was a competition... you wanted to win, and one thing led to another... the best thing you can do to make up for your mistakes is to be better, to grow from that past self, that's what I do and look at me, I make mistakes yes, but I also make up for them."

"Really? and where should I begin with?" Asked Flash with an encouraged voice, Chief then takes his beer and says. "First of all... change your haircut, it sucks." Flash's expression changes immediately to one of confusion. "Wh-What? But it's awesome!" Chief then drinks from his beer and replies. "Jerome recommended it to you when you two first met, you we're at middle school back then, but... it simply doesn't suits you anymore." Flash then replies with sarcasm. "Oh, and how should I cut my hair, like yours?" Chief then shows a millimetric sign of a smile and says. "Maybe yes... but now seriously, you should start by focusing on helping others, and when you meet that girl again, you'll have to apologize, but don't be too dramatic, just... find the correct window, like trying to take down a target miles away with your last sniper shot, you have to be patient, very patient, to find the proper moment, got it?"

Flash then proceeds to hug him and replies. "Yeah, thanks John! I really needed some advice." Chief looks at him with a pleased face, he then pats Flash on his shoulder and says. "Enough sentimentalism, go downstairs and have your dinner, is getting late." Said Chief, Flash agrees with his head and leaves the room, Chief looks at the moon with a smile, but he's then struck by a though, "this is not real... it's a memory.". "Why am I living this moment again?" Asks Chief to himself while looking at his hands, they seem a bit glitchy and then his hands are now covered in blood, Chief looks up and sees the moon that has acquired a blood red color, he then hears screams downstairs, he quickly runs and only witnesses Flash, Aura and the Blue Team dead on the ground, blood is everywhere, painting the whole living room with their blood, in between their corpses, a shadowy figure stands still and opens its eyes, revealing an evil red glow from them. "NOOOO!!!!" Scream Chief aloud with anger and sorrow, just as she shadowy figure approaches him and reveals it's face, it's Kylo Ren, but he now has a demonic look, just as Sunlight's corruption signs but his seemed to be like an illness.

"I'm going to kill them, everyone you've and will love, you'll witness their slow deaths and you won't be able to do anything... ANYTHING!!!!" Said Kylo while creates a scythe with dark magic and slashes Chief, who wakes up and gets up from bed quickly, fortunately for him, it was only a nightmare from an old memory. He seems to be alone in the room, he then changes his clothes and looks at the mirror, realizing someone cut his hair and beard, suddenly, he starts feeling pain around his body, it feelt like if he got beaten up by a bunch of Brutes.

Chief exits his room, and as he heads downstairs he hears many voices talking about things he can't understand properly, as he finally arrives at the first floor, he sees not only the girls, Aura and the Blue Team, but he also sees Jerome, Princess Twilight, the Omega Team, Nikola Tesla and Galen.

As they noticed Chief arrived, everyone stops talking, Jerome looks at Chief and says. "Look who it is! the man of the moment! You've been keeping us waiting for a whole day, feel any better?" Asks Jerome, Chief only avoids the topic and asks. "Then why are you still wearing your armor? Isn't this a safe place?" Said Chief as he heads to the fridge. "Someone had to deal with your responsibilities, John." Replied Jerome, referring to himself. Chief heads to the kitchen and takes a bottle of orange juice from the fridge and drinks it, creating an awkward scene, as he's the only one making noise now.

"Thanks then... who's gonna ask first?" Asks Chief after drinking some juice and placing the bottle in the kitchen table, he knows that everyone might be mad at him, so that's why he goes straight to the point. "Where have you been, John?! You went missing for two whole days and returned, only to act like a brainless violence machine when you first saw us!" Says Kelly, she's the first one to question him, Chief keeps his cool and replies. "I apologize if my behavior wasn't something usual, but..." He's then interrupted by Aura who says.

"You shot Rainbow Dash, stabbed Applejack, heavily injured the Blue Team, wounded the girls and almost killed me, do you have something to tell in your defense?" Asks Aura with frustration, she can't deal with seeing Chief calmed about this matter. "I said I apologize for it, plus the fact that all I could see were devilish beings aiming to kill me, so I had to do something." Replies Chief calmly while heading towards the living room.

"Aura, calm down, he's right, Cortana said he was trapped in an illusion, so there wasn't a way for him to know who was he attacking..." Said Linda with a serious voice, but she then asks Chief. "...John, where did you go for the past two days, and we want the truth." Chief then sighs, it appears he can't prolong this any longer, he deeply breathes and replies.

"The truth is... I went to hell with the Doom Slayer." Everyone reacts shocked by his response, except for Galen, who remains serious. "Hell? You say?" Asks Tesla with curiosity, Chief looks at him seriously and replies. "Yes, Hell itself." Tesla backs a bit to think of something, but now Kelly asks. "And what the hell were you doing... in Hell?" Chief then takes a chair and sits down near everyone,, and replies. "To cash a favor the Devil owed me, in exchange for helping him with an errand, he freed Flash's soul from Purgatory into the Mortals' Realm, bringing him back from death, but the details of how long will it take remain uncertain to me."

Everyone remains shocked of he just said, his face shows utter seriousness, convincing everyone that he's saying the truth. Princess Twilight seems to be against that, but she wanted to keep it for herself, until Galen says. "Princess Twilight, is something concerning you?" Asks Galen, he noticed Twilight's concern, she then looks a bit surprised as she didn't expect anyone to see through her inner self. "Well... yeah... as far as I know, spiritual affairs are part of the fields of knowledge which we know frighteningly little, and the fact that you did something so drastic such as return a soul from the afterlife to the mortal realm might have consequences not even you might comprehend." Said Twilight with a serious voice, Chief then replies with a calmed voice. "I appreciate your concern Princess, but I can assure you, I made the proper research and you're right, retrieving a soul from Purgatory is utterly dangerous, fortunately I got help from the Devil, who personally guided Flash's soul to his body." Princess Twilight seems skeptical about this, she then asks. "But you said you don't know how much time it'll take for that to happen, what if it takes months, years or even decades?" Chief then replies with a serious voice. "It's a consequence I'm willing to accept."

"What if he resurrects after decades and sees everyone he loved are now dead, what would he think? did you at least think of that?" Asks Aura with a serious voice, Chief then looks away, revealing he didn't consider that at all. "What you did was selfish, and probably will have an outcome that'll result in even more suffering for him." Adds Aura, Chief begins to frustrate and then he stands up and says with a serious voice.

"Yeah, I might have been a selfish act, but both you and I know he didn't deserve dying, I've lost too many people in my life..." Chief then starts saying with a sentimental voice. "...My Spartan brothers, Samuel, Parisa, Jacob Keyes, Sgt. Johnson, Miranda Keyes, Cortana... and the list goes on, and on... I've saved millions or maybe even more, but I've never been able to save anyone whom I love, and I refuse to stay like that, for the first time... I could do something, and yes... I could've brought anyone else from death but we all know that all the people I mentioned were ready to fight until the bitter end, unlike Flash... he... he was young... he... didn't deserve it, and I'll do the same to bring back all of you, because I don't want to lose anyone else... not... anymore."

Everyone remains silent, Sunset breaks the silence by saying. "Chief, can we talk... privately?" Chief agrees with his head, then both go to the backyard, leaving the rest inside the house. "I think you were too tough with him." Said August, breaking silence. "Yeah, maybe... but... is something hard to process, y'know?" Says Kelly with a serious voice, Tesla then interrupts by saying. "If he was in Hell for two days, then he's approximately two years older now." Galen then replies. "Now that's... surprising, that explains why he looks a bit older, though." Applejack then asks Galen with a serious voice. "You knew it, didn't ya'?"

"What do you mean?" Asks Galen, it appears someone else has also been keeping secrets. "You knew about Chief's location the whole time, that's why when he mentioned where he has been, you didn't even reacted, that only could've been possible if you were already aware of where he was." Replied Applejack, he arguments are solid, Galen sighs and replies. "I wasn't the only one, Captain Lasky knew too, why do you think no one suspected of Chief gone missing? He managed to tell everyone he was on a special mission." Afterwards, the environment seems a lot less tenser, and everyone starts to have a conversation around those topics.

Meanwhile on the backyard, Chief asks Sunse. "What happened that makes you wanting to discuss it only with me?" Sunset then closes the door and says. "A few things happened, but I'll tell you the most important things, first, I know Flash was encapsuled at the Infinity, but Aura requested to move him here to the lab, along with his cryogenic capsule..." Chief seems a bit surprised and says. "Ok... what next?" He asked, but then Banana leans on his leg, Chief crouches to grab him and then h e starts peeting him, Sunset then continues. "I visited him yesterday, before we detected the portal that brought you here, and as I placed my hand on the capsule, the flames I use to heal wounds, propagated to him, lighting him up, but nothing else happened, do you know what could've been?"

After hearing that, Chief remembers that the flames that broke Michael's seal upon Flash's soul had the same colors as Sunset's flames, after realizing that, he puts Banana down and says. "Let me give you a bit of context, when we completed our deal with the Devil, he freed Flash's soul, but then it was sealed by an Archangel, we couldn't broke the seal without him noticing, but fortunately, those flames of yours burnt the seal, freeing Flash's soul into the Mortal's Realm."

"Really?! But, how does these flames work then?" Asked Sunset with excitement and confusion, but Chief interrupts her and says. "I don't know, if you want to understand them, ask Tesla. What was the other thing you wanted to say?" Sunset then retakes the conversation and says. "Yeah about that, something completely unexpected happened..." Sunset now shows a big smile, as a sign of acoomplishment, but Chief can't get it so he asks again. "What is it?" Sunset then replies with a proud voice.

"I teamed up with my counterpart, who now wants to be called Eclipsed Sunlight, and I respect that, but can you actually imagine that we fought together, side by side to defeat you? And it wasn't something she accepted reluctantly, she actually saved me! I don't know what kind of introspection she's going through, but she's now making progress!" Sunset said with a smile on her face, Chief recalls what Sunlight told him when they returned from Hell, and he can't feel but thankful for that moment. "What happened next?" Asked Chief intrigued by what Sunset's saying.

"Well, now that you mention it, she knew how to break you free from the illusion even before I told her you were in a illusion, plus her reaction was as she had to deal with that again, also... she looked... a bit older." Said Sunset as she begins to remember the events, Chief then sees she realized sooner than he thought, therefore, Chief replies. "That's because I wasn't alone in Hell, yeah... I mentioned I went with the Doom Slayer but the truth is, Eclipsed Sunlight came with us too."

"Why?" Asks Sunset confused, Chief then makes sure no one hears was he's about to say, in order to keep in secret everything Sunlight told him to tell only to Sunset. "She felt guilty for being the one who provoked Flash's death, so she wanted to fix that mistake... on our journey through hell, I... questioned... Sunlight's past decisions, after two long years there, she now has a new resolve. She wants to start again, this time... on the right path, but she wants to make amends with you first, so stay sharp for any sign of her trying to contact you, got it?"

"Yeah! I get it, but it'll be hard to convince the rest that she wants to change, I mean... Aura shot her after we defeated you." Said Sunset while making a face of regret, she thinks she could've stopped the bullet from hitting Sunlight, but she knows she's lying to herself, Chief puts his hand on his face after hearing that, he sighs deeply and replies. "That... was to be expected, but is she alright?" Asked Chief with a worried face, Sunset then replies. "Yes, I used my healing flames to help her, after that, I told her the best option was to leave before something worse were to happen, and she seemed to agree with me and then left. After that, everyone criticized my decision of letting her go, but I won't give up on her... and I'll do anything I can to help her leave the evil path she took."

Chief then replies with a micro sign of a smile. "You did good, but remember, this is something that'll take time, I hope you can understand if she messes up once in a while."

Sunset then replies with emotion. "Sure! I will, redemption is not an easy path..." Sunset then hugs Chief, who groans from the pain caused by the fight. "Oh... sorry, I forgot that. you are still wounded... but, thanks... for helping me to guide Eclipsed Sunlight to the right path." Said Sunlight as she stepped back, but Chief takes a deep breath and interrupts her. "No... it's fine... you were excited... and..." Sunset then hugs Chief again, who now screams a bit of pain, Sunset steps back again, Chief then asks her. "Why was that for?"

"You said that Flash will come back, I can't thank you enough for that." RepliedS Sunset with a smile, Chief then says. "Well, not everyone seems so optimistic about it." Replied Chief while taking a deep breath, his body really hurts. "They said that because they were a bit mad at you for leaving just like that, but I'm sure they'll realize what you've done." Said Sunset with a friendly voice, Chief then proceeds to open the door to the kitchen, he lets Sunset go first and he follows her after and closes the door behind him.

"Chief, I need to ask you something..." Said Tesla while approaching, he stops in front of Chief, who then asks. "What is it, Tesla?" Asked Chief while stretching, Tesla takes a digital note pad from his coat and asks. "How would you grade the perfomance of the girls' battle suits?"

"Battle suits? Asks Chief confused, after all, he doesn't know what Tesla means. "Yeah, the ones Twilight and I made for the girls, how do you think they manage to defeat you?" Asked Tesla with a smile on his face, Chief couldn't see the girls, even less notice if they were using battle suits, with a bit of shame, he replies.

"Yeah... I don't know exactly how to describe, but if they were using them to stop me... then, they did a good job... although, it still hurts." Said Chief with a calmed voice, despite feeling pain from his wounds, Tesla then writes down what Chief said and replies. "If it still hurts, then it means they had an even greater succes than I expected."

Chief then interrupts Tesla and asks "What are you doing here in the first place?" Tesla then turns around and replies. "Oh! I was summoned here because your blades were my creations and everyone wanted answers behind your violent behavior." Chief understands it, he then looks at Galen and asks. "And you, Galen?" Galen then stands up and says. "I came here in case you lose control, again... but it seems I won't need to intervene."

"By the way, we told Captain Lasky about the situation and he ordered mandatory vacations for you, as long as it needs for you to recover." Said Leon with a friendly voice, he said it so naturally, making it seem like if wasn't any big deal, but for Chief, that's torture.

"WHAT?" Asked Chief confused, he then continues. "But Kylo Ren is still out there, who's going to..." Chief's then itnerrupted by Kelly, who replies with a proud smile. "Don't worry John, we'll take care of your responsiblites, it doesn't matter if that means the double amount of missions, we can get it done... take this chance to relax! You truly need it..." Chief looks at her and finally accepts it, he can't deny the fact that he needs some rest, and maybe this might be a good time to calm his mind from over using his blades.

"...Did you like your haircut, Chief?" Asked Rarity with a smile on her face, Chief looks at her and asks. "It was your idea?" Rarity then replies. "Oh no, no, no, it was Kelly's idea, I only proposed the idea of your new hairstyle." Chief then replies with a friendly voice. "Hmm... I think I like it then."

Rainbow Dash interrupts and asks with some excitement. "So... Chief, what do you think about our progress? We've been training for weeks at the Infinity's training room with Fred, and there's only passed TWO days here." Chief looks at Fred and then he turns at the girls and replies. "You've done a huge progress in these days I was gone, I'm actually surprised of what you achieved, my body still hurts, especially my abdomen." Fluttershy then interrupts Chief by saying. "Yeah... about that... sorry, that was me."

Chief has now a surprised face, he then asks with excitement. W-Wow! What kind of training Fred gave you?" Fluttershy then replies with a proud smile. "I had to train on another world for months with a friend of Fred to learn a martial art, then it took me a few more months to learn all the special techniques the martial art has."

"Well then... all I can say is... good job!" Said Chief with a slight smile, shocking everyone around him. "Wait... can you... smile?" Asked an extremely confused Pinkie Pie, she never thought that'd ever be possible of seeing. "Yeah... but it's not something very often you see, actually, it's the first time we see Chief smile, since... years." Said Jerome with humoristic voice.

Everyone then starts to laugh and Chief keeps his smile while wondering what'll happen next, but for now, he just wants to enjoy this moment with everyone.

Back at Sunlight's apartment, she takes the communicator Kylo gave her and calls him, it didn't took long for him to pick up the call, his hologram appears on the communicator and asks with a deep voice. "Would you mind telling me what took you so long to call?" Sunlight then comes up with a story and replies. "I had to think of some things by my own, but I'm back now, anything you want to tell me?"

Kylo believes Sunlight story, and then he replies her question. "Actually, yes... but I need you here at my ship..." Sunlight then takes her backpack and replies. "Fine, teleport me there." As soon as she said that, a dark magic cloud surrounds her and after the cloud disipates, she's now in the bridge at Kylo's star destroyer.

"Wow! that was quick." Replied Sunlight, she's still amazed of that power, but it appears only Kylo can do it, he then approaches Sunlight and sees her, he remains serious as Sunlight got startled and steps back. "Hmm... Follow me..." Said Kylo with a serious voice as he leaves the bridge, Sunlight follows him, she wonders if he noticed that she'd changed, which seems obvious but what confuses her the most is that he ignored it. As they now head to the barracks, Sunlight choses to start a conversation. "What do you want to show me?" Asks Sunlight, intrigued of where are they going, Kylo then replies with a serious voice. "After the events at the observatory, most of the Knights of Ren died, only two survived... that demands the creation of a new team, one that you'll be part of..." As he says that, they enter now the barracks, revealing a squad of Purge Troopers reading up, Ap'Lek, Cardo and Starkiller. "This is, the death squad, a task force created specifically to carry out missions that include, spionage, hey target eliminations and research upon anomalies we can't reach due to the Resistance's presence in those worlds."

"Is good to have you back, Sunlight." Says Starkiller while he puts on a new armor, Sunlight then looks at Kylo and asks him. "Ok, so you think it'll be enough with just us?" Sunlight isn't too sure about fighting the girls, or even Master Chief with only a bunch of troopers, two Knights of Ren and Starkiller.

"Probably, but just to be sure, your first mission will be to go to a world we've located that has a power source capable of bringing back the dead, even from other universes or timelines... or at least, that's what our research team suggests." Replied Kylo with a determinated voice, Sunlight looks at him and asks with a serious voice. "And you want to bring someone back from the dead?" Sunlight can't think of going through Hell again, but this time,it's totally different, as it's to use a tool capable of doing that.

"Exactly, but for that, you'll need... this." Kylo then snaps his fingers and makes appear a helmet in his hands, he then gives to Starkiller, Sunlight looks at it and asks. "Who's helmet is this one?" It seems, damaged, and old, Sunlight was about to touch it, but as soon as she approaches her hand, a sinister aura goes through her, she quickly withdraws her hand and only looks at the helmet with confusion. Starkiller takes puts the helmet on a table nearby and says.

"This... is the helmet of my master... Darth... Vader... the most powerful Sith Lord in our world." Kylo then approaches and says. "And he... was also... my grandfather." Sunlight looks at them with confusion, what kind of being was Darth Vader?

"You'll depart right away, get ready death squad!" Said Kylo aloud while leaving the room, Sunlight then proceeds to change her clothes and wear her armor again. The best option se has now, is too follow the plan and do what Kylo says, but honestly, she prefers not to do it, if that Darth Vader is even more pwerful than Kylo and Starkiller, what kind of power would that person have in case of getting a dark magic necklace.

The path seems odd, a new threat approaches as a past nightmare gets closer to her world, slowly but certainly frightening, what would be the events that'll happen from now on.
