Author's Note

Hi everyone! Sorry for going missing without telling y'all, but I've been busy in my personal life, and it took me a lot of time (priorities... to be brief), and every time I had a break to write, all my progress got deleted from Fimfiction, so I had to rewrite the chapter many times, while also doing some copies to prevent it from erasing completely from my computer.

I hope you like this chapter, the time it took me to write it really helped to improve the story and give it a much better script (at least I think so, haha!). Anyway, I'll try to be more communicative with y'all if something delays the next chapter's release, I'll do my best, but I can't control everything.

Enjoy the chapter, and see y'all next time!

Chapter 21: ...It Will Get Worse

As The Final Order begins their excavation, Kylo can't stop feeling something, the Force is strong in that place, there's something.... calling... But it's not him the one being called, it's someone else. But Kylo doesn't know who it is... He'd have to reveal the secrets of that cave by himself. After almost 20 minutes, they reached the entrance of the cave, which was buried under layers and layers of rocks, those weren't put there by nature, someone did it, but it doesn't matter, as they have now cleared a path for them to enter the cave.

Kylo and a few Sith troopers enter the cave as Sunlight and the Death Squad head to track down Aloy. But as Kylo walks through the cave, he finds himself surrounded by the crystals in the cave, they seem to be natural, but he feels something else deeper, after a few more minutes of walking, a distant glow catches Kylo's eyes, it only took him a few seconds to realize what was he seeing.

"A Kyber crystal?" Asked Kylo to himself as he slowly walks towards the glowing mineral, Kyber Crystals were originally from his world, their used as a power source for lightsabers, and also were used by Darth Sidious to create his super weapons, these crystals have a strange quality that makes them connected to the Force, which makes them a valuable resource for both Jedi and Sith. But how is a Kyber crystal here? Thought Kylo as he approaches the crystal, its glow calls to him, but as he opened his hand to grab it, the crystal came in contact with his dark magic and pushed Kylo away with an energy shockwave. The Sith troopers help him stand up. "What happened, sir?" Asks one of the Sith troopers, Kylo only sees his hand as he clenches it and replies with a serious voice.

"The crystal... it... refused me... as if I was... unworthy of grabbing it." Said Kylo, who changed his expression to an angered one and heads again to the crystal, without hesitation he grabs the crystal quickly with both of his hands. The energy it emits tries to push him away, but he doesn't flinch, he's determined to take it. But the crystal emitted a much stronger shockwave, sending him flying away again and crashing against the walls of the cave. "(This crystal... it's different from the others I've found... it has more power, but it refuses me!... doesn't matter, It'll be mine wether it wants or not!)" Thought Kylo as he stood up, he then received a transmission from Sunlight that says. "We've found where Sunset and her team arrived, we're proceeding to move there." Said Sunlight with a serious voice, the crystal was right in front of him, but if he lets any of them alive, they'll screw his plans. Reluctantly, Kylo stood up and was heading to the exit, not before ordering his troops with anger. "Get a mining team to retrieve the Kyber crystal, I'll make it yield sooner or later!"

Back with Sunlight, they detected that their portal open a bit far away, in a forest located in the outskirts of the desert.

"WOW! This place looks, AMAZING!" Says Rainbow Dash aloud with excitement as the girls are astonished by the beauty of the world they're in. After all, this is their first time in another world, Chief then takes a look on his HUD visor, the destination Sunlight sent them appears on his map as a yellow spot. "Don't get distracted, we got a job to do." Says Chief as he loads his assault rifle and begins moving, the Blue Team begins to comb the area while they head to their destination, Applejack looks around, the beauty of this land caught her eye immediately when she placed foot in this Earth.

"And to think places like this lie beyond our universe... Ha! When I tell everyone back home that I'd been in another world, they'll think I'm bamboozling them." Says Applejack with a smile as she breathes some fresh air as they follow the Blue Team, after walking for a while everything seemed peaceful, but everyone were alert in case something happened, the crunch of a branch is heard behind them, in a matter of seconds everyone got in formation and aimed to where the sound came from.

"Woah! Calm down, it's me." Said a female voice as a woman appears in front of them, turning off a cloaking device.

"It really took your time to get here." Says Aloy as she reveals herself, wearing a suit with a personal shield around it to pt¿rotect herself from any attack.

"Aloy, why are you here? Weren't you supposed to be at the excavation site?" Asks Chief as he and the rest of his team lower their guns, relieved that they met with an ally instead of an enemy. "Yeah, they found me right after I ended my call with Cortana, I managed to escape, but when I tried to contact you, I didn't realize my communicator was reached by blaster shot, becoming useless." Said Aloy as she shows the damaged communicator, she then peeks behind the Blue Team and sees the girl, with a smile she asks. "And... wouldn't you introduce us?" Says Aloy as she passes the Blue Team and heads to the girls, she then extends her hand to greet Sunset and the others. "Hi! I'm Aloy, the Blue Team and I we've for quite the time already, it's a pleasure to meet you!" Said Aloy with a cheerful smile.

"The pleasure is ours, I'm Sunset Shimmer and these are my friends..." Said Sunset as she shakes Aloy's hand and introduces her to the rest of The Rainbooms. "... Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy." Said Sunset as she introduced her friends, but Pinkie Pie gets overexcited and steps forth, grabbing Aloy's hand with joy.

"HI ALOY! I'm Pinkie Pie, I'm sure we're gonna be good friends, here! Have a cookie!" Said Pinkie as she took out a cookie from her hair and hands it to Aloy, who grabs it confused and after examining it, she asks. "So this is... a cookie? What am I supposed to do with it" Said Aloy as she activates the device on her ear called Focus to understand how is this cookie made of.

"You're supposed to eat it, you dummy." Said Pinkie with a smile and her usual tone of voice that makes everyone leave a chuckle. Except for John and Linda, of course. Aloy then sees that this cookie is similar to dishes in her world, but after taking a bite. Aloy gets shocked, the cookie's sweet flavor draws a smile on her face, there are very few dishes that are sweet, so this flavor is something rare for her to experience.

"Let's get moving, people!" Said Chief aloud as the group begins to move. During the walk, Aloy had a long chat with the girls to get to know each other. Aloy's surprisingly empathetic, but the girls also noticed that she's not very good with people, but her sarcastic jokes and her blunt attitude at speaking makes up for it.

"So... Aloy, you're like... the guardian of this world, right?" Asks Rainbow Dash as she crosses her arms behind her head. Aloy replies after swallowing the last bite of the cookie. "Yeah, kinda. Let's just say my curiosity has driven me to explore the lost technologies that lie all over my world, and unlike most of the people, I don't see technology as something mystical, it's a tool... and a very useful one..." Aloy then looks at the girls and asks with curiosity. "And what about you? You should be like some heroes or something, I mean... those suit of yours seem to be very special."

Twilight then replies with a proud voice, since she and Tesla designed them. "Let's just say we have powers that come from our necklaces, and this armors make us able to use our powers to another level."

"Then you're like... your world's strongest warriors?" Asks Aloy as she tries to understand the whole concept of powers, but something interrupts the conversation, Chief raised his closed fist, ordering the group to stop. The Blue Team takes a defensive position while the girls activate their suits, Aloy uses her Focus to track down whatever caught Chief's attention, she then sees it... a small patrol, hiding in the bushes far ahead of them, but they aren't looking at their direction. Aloy then approaches John silently and points the bush where the patrol hides, John then orders Linda to aim her sniper towards that position, Aloy takes out her bow and charges a fire arrow, Linda then comprehends Aloy's plan, make their hiding spot burn to draw them out and get a clear shot.

As Aloy charges the shot, one of the figures begins to act abnormally, little did she know, that it was Cardo, the surviving Knight of Ren and member of the Death Squad, who begins to feel a disturbance in The Shadow, which is the Knights of Ren's concept of The Dark Side, he then warns the team as also Ap'Lek feels what Cardo means.

When they were about to change their position, Aloy shoots the arrow, which starts to burn the bush where they were hiding, forcing them to leave immediately, but one of the Purge Troopers comes out and is then quickly taken down by Linda's shot directed to his chest. That shot was enough to make Sunlight aware of their attackers' position, she then quickly turns around and thrusts herself forward with her powers, approaching Linda in a matter of seconds, it was too late when Linda realized that Sunlight was right in front of her, giving her a cold gaze, one that shows hatred and has all the intention of killing her. But Sunlight only punched her in the head, stunning her enough for Sunlight to take her and with a powered punch, she sends Linda flying away.

Everyone is shocked of what they just saw, it's Sunlight... but, she's different... her eyes are illuminated by dark magic as the signs of corruption are shown in her face. Blaster shots begin to reach them, the Blue Team quickly shoots back and draws the fire away from the girls. Meanwhile, the girls are shocked by Sunlight's look.

"S-Sunlight?!" Asks a shocked Sunset Shimmer, she's never seen her counterpart like this, but her emotionless face shows that the Eclipse Sunlight right in front of her is not the one she knows, but she has to try to get to her.

"Sunlight.... what has happened to you? Did Kylo Ren turn you into this?" Asks Sunset as she walks slowly towards Sunlight, Twilight tried to stop her but Sunset ignores her, Aloy charges her arrow as a cautionary measure, if Sunset can make Sunlight come to her senses, then it's worth trying. Sunlight's expression shows only anger as she says with a deep voice.

"Kylo... only opened my eyes... he helped me realize that all I've been doing is worthless! And the only way for me to have a new life... it's by fulfilling his plan... and KILLING YOU IN THE PROCESS!!!" Sunlight then punches Sunset so hard in the face that a small shockwave spreads around, Sunset fell to the ground and blood is spilled on the ground. As Sunlight was about to approach the rest, Aloy shoots her bow and Sunlight blocks it with her bracer, Twilight then stops her in place, exterting a lot of pressure upon Sunlight.

"Is she your friend?" Asks Aloy as she changes her bow to a slingshot and loads a cryo grenade. "It's... complicated! But we have to stop her!" Says Twilight as she making an effort to keep Sunlight in place as the rest of the girls get into formation, Sunlight lets go a shout of anger as she blows up the gravity field around her with a shockwave of dark magic, Aloy shoots the slingshot hitting Sunlight, the ice of the cryo grenade spreads across her left side, slowing her down.

"NOW!" Said Aloy as she shot again her slingshot, covering Sunlight with ice, Applejack approaches and with strong punch, she stunned Sunlight, who barely managed to block the hit and gets pushed away. Sunset stands up wobbling as she cleans the blood stains in her mouth. "Are you ok?" Asks Twilight as she helps Sunset stand properly.

"I think... but... Sunlight, she's... not herself... she's under Kylo's control." Said Sunset as she looks at everyone, Rainbow Dash then replies with determination. "It's obvious, but don't worry! We'll bring her back, EVERYONE... ON ME!!" Said Rainbow as she charged forward at a high speed, followed up by the rest of the group, Aloy stays behind and changes her slingshot cryo ammo to shock grenades as she looks at Sunset and says. "You two are very alike, anything I'm missing?"

"Long story, let's just say we're two different versions of the same person or... being, anyway. Let's free her from that necklace's control." Said Sunset as she and Aloy regroup with the rest of the girls. Sunlight's being overwhelmed by the coordinated attack of The Rainbooms, she's having a fist fight with Applejack and Fluttershy, who manage to keep her at bay by trading quick blows and strong techniques from Fluttershy and the strong punches of Applejack that manage to make Sunlight lose her ground as also change the terrain by destroying it, to stun Sunlight, who used an opening to hit Applejack, but her fist is suddenly stopped by a diamond created by Rarity, who not only protects herself, but also all her friends. Rainbow Dash uses her speed not only to hit Sunlight, but also to move her friends away from any incoming attack.

Pinkie Pie uses electric and stun grenades to not let Sunlight attack, whilst Twilight lifts the many rocks around the area and shoots them to Sunlight. Who can only block every incoming hit, getting several but small wounds. From the corner of her eye, Sunlight sees Aloy shooting her slingshot, Sunlight takes this chance and rolls out of the attacks and jumps, grabbing the shock grenade midair and throws it at Rarity, stunning her. Right after landing, Sunlight stomps the ground, lifting a rock from the ground and pushes it with her palm, aiming it at Twilight, who stops the rock right in front of her, but Sunlight punches through the rock, hitting Twilight in the face and breaking her glasses as she's now falling, Sunlight then grabs her by the leg and throws her at Applejack and Fluttershy, who catched Twilight midair.

Ranbow Dash comes in kicking Sunlight with enough power that sent her flying away, crashing against a tree and falling to the ground. Sunlight then stands up and shoots an energy blast.

The blast was aimed to Pinkie Pie, but Rainbow Dash quickly gets in the way and receives the shot, crashing against many trees by the knockback of the impact. Sunset comes in charging at a high speed with a powered punch, but Sunlight notices it and blocks her hit, spreading the shockwave all around.

"Nice try, but it won't be enough." Said Sunlight arrogantly with a smile, but Sunset ignores her taunts and replies. "I know this is not you, this is only the reflection Kylo wants you to be. SNAP OUT OF IT!!" Sunlight then headbutts Sunset, making her step back and with a spinning kick, Sunlight sents her flying away, only to be catched by Applejack. "Can you please stop getting thrown away, I'm kinda tired of catching people." Said Applejack as she puts down Sunset.

Aloy then starts shooting her bow, distracting Sunlight who approaches her with a jump and gets quickly stunned by an electric trap, Aloy rolls away and picks up one of her weapons called tearblaster.

Aloy aims it at Sunlight, who just recovered from the electric trap, and with anger she dashes forward as she creates a dark blade, aiming to kill Aloy. But, as soon as she got close enough, Aloy shoots a blast of compressed air that destroys Sunlight's armor and pushes her away. "Do you have a plan to taker her down?" Asks Aloy as she reloads the tearblaster, but before she could get an answer, Sunlight charges forward taking Aloy by the neck and flying away with her.

"ALOY!!" Shouted Sunset as she receives an incoming call, it's from John. "Sunset... status report..." Said Chief, there's a lot of gunfire sounds in the background, but Sunset understood what he said and replied. "Sunlight's under control of her necklace or something like that... she took Aloy away, we're chasing her now!" With that being said, the girls head now where Aloy was taken.

Meanwhile, Sunlight smacks Aloy on the ground, then she begins to punch Aloy, who quickly takes off her knife and stabs Sunlight on her shoulder and kicks her away, Aloy then rolls away and takes out her spear as she stands up. "I don't want to do this, but you aren't giving me many options."
Sunlight takes off the knife and heals quickly the wound, then both warriors begin to fight, despite only using her spear, Aloy manages to keep up with Sunlight, but only for a bit. Sunlight kicks away Aloy's spear, and punches her in the belly, downing her armor's shield. Aloy's arm is then grabbed by Sunlight, who uses an Aikido technique to take her down, and once on the ground, Aloy couldn't think of anything to stop Sunlight, who draws a dark blade and was about to hit her, but a red web wraps around her raised fist, making her unable to swing down her blade, Sunlight looks behind her and sees a portal where the web comes from, pulling her with strength. Aloy takes this chance to kick Sunlight in the face, realising her.

Then, someone arrives from the portal, an expected visit, but a bit late. Aloy only sighs of relief as finally... the help has arrived.

Miguel breaks in as he punches Sunlight with such a strength that she's sent flying away.

Aloy then stands up and says. "You really took your time, don't you think?"

"Sorry for helping people around the Multiverse... *sigh* it's a chaos out there." Replied Miguel with serious voice as Alloy and him look at where Sunlight crashed, Miguel draws out his claws and arm-blades, but Aloy asks him. "So the plan is to kill her?"

"It was at first... but I changed my mind... screw O.N.I" Replied Miguel with a serious voice, Aloy's slightly shocked since Miguel is not the kind of people that changes his mind, but they're interrupted by Sunlight who dashes forward enraged, Miguel faces her directly by jumping and with his arm-blades, he hit Sunlight, who blocked the hit and crashed on the ground, but with an energy blast, Sunlight managed to shoot him upwards, but Miguel shot a web and thrusts himself downwards, he tried to slash Sunlight's necklace with his arm-blades but she dodged the hit and stood up, Miguel then uses his claws to take off her necklace, but every slash is a missed hit, and Sunlight takes advantage of this and counterattacks quickly in every opening she finds.

Aloy picks up her bow from the ground and begins to shoot multiple adhesive arrows that stick to Sunlight's body and hinders her movements, Miguel takes this chance to land some punches on her, but it appears she only gets stronger after receiving any damage. Sunlight removes the adhesive arrows and begins to fight both Miguel and Aloy, whom started to have some problems against the dark berserker. Thankfully for them, a diamond whip wraps around Sunlight and pulls her against a rock. "Would you stop running?! *heavy breathing* Not all of us have such a great physical condition!" Said Rarity aloud as she takes back her whip, The Rainbooms have arrived, Miguel looks at Aloy as asking. "Kids?... Really?...

Aloy only shrugs and says. "Hey, I didn't bring them, John did." Said Aloy as she shoots Sunlight with an electric arrow, electrocuting her and making her scream of pain. "Hey, quit it!" Said Sunset as she was about to take off the electric arrow from Sunlight's body, but Miguel stops her and says. "It's too dangerous, she's highly agressive."

"And are you going to let her die?! How can yo do that?!!" Asks an outraged Sunset, but Pinkie reacts quickly and throws a bomb that explodes and covers Sunlight in slime, isolating the shock arrow and also immobilizes her. "There! Much better." Said Pinkie with a proud smile, as Sunlight tries to catch her breath and bows her head low. Sunset crouches before Sunlight and with a concerned voice she says. "This might hurt... but please, understand that it's to help you." Sunset then places her hand on Sunlight's cheek and uses her power, but this time, Sunset focuses to go deeper in Sunlight's mind, arriving at the dimensional plain where Sunlight's conscience is trapped.

Sunset finds herself in a dark dimension, everything seems broken, shattered, but also... off. In the middle of this mind prison, Sunset finds an orb, but it's damaged, letting go light rays that illuminate dimly this dimension. Sunset goes in the orb by one of the rifts in its surface, Sunset then finds Sunlight on her knees, while her arms, legs, waist and chest are tied by chains made by dark magic. Sunlight raises her head and Sunset sees how damaged Sunlight is, her face shows tiredness, also traces of tears and her eyes are dark, illuminated only by the green glow of her pupils.

"Sunlight! What happened?!" Said Sunset worried about her friend, who only replies with a tired voice. "Kylo... used my anger and my necklace to turn me into his personal weapon... I've tried to fight it, but each chain I break it's replaced by a stronger one... I've... lost count of... how many times I tried, but it's impossible." Said Sunlight as she shows Sunset her chains, Sunset tries to break them, but she lacks the strength to do so. "Dammit! These chains are strong." Says Sunset as she keeps pulling the chains with all her strength, but it's impossible.

"I told you... *sigh* I'm fucked, just... leave me here and let them terminate me." Replies Sunlight with a sad voice, showing that she's gave up all hopes on herself. "NO! I'll get you out of here, I promised Adagio that I'll bring you back, and THAT'S what I'll do!" Said Sunset with determinaton as she clads her hands with light magic and places her hands on the vest around Sunlight's chest and with all her strength, she managed to break it and this time, it wasn't replaced by more chains.

"How did you do it?" Asks Sunlight amazed of what Sunset did, but everything around them begins to shake. "Magic, I guess... but it appears the necklace felt that." Said Sunset as she looks around, Sunlight only chuckles and replies. "Yeah, probably it isn't any good news, quick, try breaking the other chains!"

Sunset was about to break the chains of Sunlight's right arm, but as the quake becomes more violent, a wave of dark magic hits Sunset, banning her out of this dimension. Sunset then returns to the real world, where Miguel grabs her as she was pushed back by a repulse wave.

"Are you ok? What happened?" Asks Miguel as he helps Sunset get up, she then replies with a serious expression. "Sunlight is trapped in a prison made by her necklace... we have to take it off to release her." Said Sunset as she was about to take off the dark necklace from SUnlight's neck, but she's then stopped by an incoming wave of darkfire, Rarity created a diamond to protect everyone, there's only person capable of doing that, despite the heat of the fire, the girls feel an intense cold coming from deep the forest.

"Get... away... from her!" Said Kylo Ren, coming out of the trees with a serious expression, as his necklace glows with dark magic. Neither Aloy or Miguel expected to see him here, as there's another battle going on, but there's no point on complaining right now, they have to work together to at least hold him off.

"John, if you can hear me... we have Kylo Ren here!" Said Miguel as he used his communicator, hoping to get a good answer, but he only received a discouraging message.

"We have a whole army over here, hang on!" That's all that Chief said as the sound of blaster shots and gunshots were filling the air and sound aroun him, then the call ended abruptly and Miguel says. "Bad news people! We'd have to fight him, Aloy and I will be the vanguard, you make sure to provide support and don't let him get to Sunlight, got it?!" Asks Miguel as she looks at the girls, who only agree with their head, Rarity downs the diamond shield and Aloy shoots a tearblast arrow, but Kylo stops it midair in front of him with The Force, but the arrow detonates, stunning him for a bit, enought time for Miguel to rush him and with a fierce jump, he tackled Kylo and with his claws, Miguel slashed through his helmet, revealing Kylo's yellow and red pupils. Filled with anger and in the blink of an eye, Kylo pushed Miguel Away with such a strength, that he was unable to use his webs to grasp onto something, crashing with a tree and bringing it down in the process.

"Take cover!!" Said Aloy as she charges a fire arrow and shoots it near Kylo's feet, burning the grass below him as he stands up, but the fire seems to be uneffective against him, as he easily walks on it. "Change of plans, we have to attack!" Said Rainbow Dash as she dashes forward, followed by Applejack who threw a boulder at Kylo, who stops it using the Force, but Rainbow Dash slides under the boulder and with a jumping kick, she hits Kylo in the chest, pushing him away.

"Good hit, but all your attempts are... USELESS!!" Said Kylo as he created a wall of blades behind him, and with a movement of his hands, all those blades began to rain over Aloy and The Rainbooms, Rarity created another diamond wall to protect them, but the blades began to pierce through the diamonds, desperately, Rarity gave everyone modules of her armor to create personal shields around them, once the defensive wall fell, Sunset focused her powers and with swing of her arm, she spread a light wave that eliminated the baldes Kylo created.

"You turned Sunlight into a violence machine, HOW COULD YOU?!!" Asks and outraged Sunset to Kylo, who only takes off his broken mask, revealing his face, and with an arrogant expression, he replies.

"No no no, don't blame me for that. I only helped Eclipse Sunlight to realize the truth and embrace her emotions, which for your knowledge, were already in her heart when I met her, her hatred, her anger, all of it. And she was only able to turn into this version of herself thanks to you!" Kylo then looks at the rest of The Rainbooms and says. "You were the ones that made my job SO easy, instead of listening to Sunset, all of you were driven by Sunlight's previous actions, despite she stated many times that she was sorry and was looking to make things right. Answer me this Twilight, weren't you part of the people that agreed on putting Sunlight into a cell? And when you fell for my trap that Sunlight was only luring you into an ambush, all of you turned your back on her, despite fighting side by side against The Flood! You... created this Eclipse Sunlight, all I did... was setting her free." Said Kylo with a mocking voice.

The Rainbooms are shocked by Kylo's words, with confusion, Twilight asks. "How... do you... know that?" Kylo then replies with an evil grin. "Because I was always there! I could see what Sunlight saw through the magic I leaked in Sunlight's body and mind, it was a fun time seeing all your little adventures, but now thanks to that, I've learnt that dark magic is more like an extension of my will turned into energy, which also helps into controlling minds, and... the mechanical creatures of this world, yet primitive... they do have a conscience, which... will help me get rid of you and the Blue Team." Said Kylo as from behind, a cloaked machine reveals itself, charging a plasma shot.

"Stalker!!" Said Aloy as she turned around and tackled Fluttershy, getting her out of the way of the shot, Aloy takes her bow and shoots an arrow towards the stalker's turret, bringing it down, but it wasn't enough to stun the machine, which rushes in, spreading everyone with a swing of its tail. As the group spreads, more machines come from the forest.

"This isn't good." Said Aloy to herself as she dodges the machines' attacks, but she's unable to protect the girls from the machines, as a Scrapper jumps on Pinkie Pie.

But before its able to hurt her, Miguel rushes in and pierces the scrapper's head with his claws and uses his web to attaches to another machin and kills with a pierce of his arm-blade. But more machines are coming in and they're beggining to overwhelm both The Rainbooms and the Hunters, but out of the sky, many rockets fall and pierce through the machines, making them explode. "What...?" Asks Kylo with confusion, as everything happened really quick.

From the air, an armored man lands in front of them, and with a calmed voice, he said.

"Miguel, next time you say it's an important mission, tell me who are guests will be, I had to change to my best clothes, wasting a lot of time." Said Iron man as he reads his radar and sees many enemies around them.

"Alrgith people! It appears we're surrounded by these machines, we have to do something or we're going to die." Says Iron Man as Miguel now replies reluctantly. "Ok, change of plans! Girls, you handle Kylo, we'll handle the machines!" After that, Aloy, Miguel and Iron Man leave and begin to fight against the machines around them.

"Great, it's only us now." Said Kylo as he ignites his lightsaber and rushes in, but he's stopped by Sunset, who clashes his crimson blade with a light sword, marking the beginning of their fight. Meanwhile inside her mind, Sunlight tries to break the chains of her right arm by pulling with all her strength, but all her efforts are pointless.

"If I don't control back my body, bad things... will... happen!" Said Sunlight to herself as she pulls the chains again, but this time, dark magic cloud began to accumulate in front of her and it took a humanoid form, after the cloud dissipated, Sunlight sees herself standing right in front of her, but with dark magic all around her body, her dark eyes glow with dark magic and look at Sunlight with disdain.

Confused about the being in front of her, Sunlight asks. "Uhm... who... are you?" Her dark reflection approaches her and with a deep voice, it replies. "We are your inner self, the deepest part of you where all your emotions dwell." Her hoarse voice sound calmed, while also making it obvious that she's angered and full of hatred.

"And why am I imprisoned? You should be helping me instead of letting... THIS shit happen!" Claims an outraged Sunlight, but her dark self replies with a calmed voice, but also with traces of anger. "You want to get rid of us, when WE kept you strong this whole time!"

"The FUCK do you mean? I got the necklace not so much ago." Replies Sunlight confused, while her dark self uses a fraction of dark magic to create an ilusion around them and begins to explain as Sunlight sees all her memories. "For years, everything we always wanted was revenge against the one who caused us so much suffering..." A memory shows up, it's Sunlight crying in the corner of an alley while hugging her guitar as the rain pours down on her. That was the first days where she had to left her live as Sunset Shimmer, Sunlight feels again the cold of that night and how lonely she felt.

"We became bitter thanks to her, no friends, no future, no family... and ALL THANKS TO HER!" Claimed the dark Sunlight as she now shows the moment where Sunlight and Sunset met, but from Sunlight's point of view, the image quickly changes to the moment where Sunlight had Sunset beaten on the floor, and she was about to stab her. "That... wasn't me! It was Kylo!" Said Sunlight with a grieving voice as she looks at Sunset's wounded face.

"But it WAS us! Kylo's help had only made us stronger! After all, he understands us better than you ever did!!" Replies the dark Sunlight with anger, while her imprisoned version tries to understand why is she seeing this version of herself talking to her. "What... are you? You're not only my emotions... you're something else... maybe... you're... the necklace?!" Asks Sunlight with curiosity and confusion,, that's the only possible answer right now, her dark Sunlight chuckles and replies. "We never doubted our intelect, yet you managed to impress us. Indeed, we gained our freedom thanks to the necklace, but our hatred and anger were the ones most affected..." The dark Sunlight then fades away the dark magic cloud and approaches Sunlight, placing her hand on her shoulder and after looking directly into her eyes, she says with a serious voice. "...We have the hope that with this new power, we can achieve a better life in a new era. But you... you want to reject us... who have been within you since the very beginning... when you turned your back on us, it really hurt... that's why we let Kylo take control over you... he only wants the best for us, and we can get it... only fi we destroy those who can stop us, Eclipse Sunlight. We hope you understand it, until then... you're staying here."

Said the dark Sunlight as she leaves flying away, leaving Sunlight alone, reflecting on what she just heard. Now in the outside world, the Blue Team seem to have the upper hand against the Sith Troopers, but John feels something off, despite their numbers are 15 times bigger than them, they aren't fighting to eliminate them, but to hold them off, "(but why?)" Asks John inside his head, but Cortana realizes that and replies. "I think I found your answer, John... look!" Cortana then highlights a small squad of Sith Troopers running away with a case that emits high energy readings, whatever it is, they can't allow it to fall in The Final Order's hands.

"Linda!" Said John aloud as he aimed his hand towards position of the squad on the run, Linda understands the order and aimes her sniper rifle and quickly, takes the shot, killing the trooper carrying the case and after a short while, she took down the rest of his squad. "Clear, we have to retrieve it." The Blue Team begins to move towards the case, but they're stopped by the incoming heavy fire. "I think we touched a nerve, didn't we?" Says Fred as he and the rest of the team takes cover behind rocks, it appears that case has something highly valuable for The Final Order. "How are we supposed to get that case if blaster shots are raining over us?" Asks Kelly as she reloads her shotgun, then a strenous sound is heard nearby and from the top of a hill, a huge machine comes out, appearing to be on The Final Order's side.

"That thing's huge!" Says Kelly as she looks at the Thunderjaw, a massive machine bred for combat, a laser weapon in its mouth, cannons on its jaws, a radar array on its back, and disc launchers on its hips. A shoot of its disc launchers forced the Blue Team to retreat, whilst the thunderjaw slowly walks towards them along the Sith Troopers, Ap'Lek, Cardo, Purge Troopers, and lesser machines. "Team, I don't want to stress anybody, but we're in big trouble now." Said Cortana through the channel of the Blue Team as they take cover on the top of a hill, but it's only matter of time before their chasers reach them.

Behind them, a truck comes in full speed.

"Did someone called for evac?" Asks Linda as she and the rest of the team look at the incoming vehicle, but after seeing it, John recognized who it was and only replied. "It's not evac, it's the reinforcements." The truck was heading towards the team's position, but it passed them and jumped off the top of the hill, crashing against the thunderjaw's head, stunning it and when it lands, the truck drifts, hitting small machines and a few Sith Troopers with the back part of the truck, creating a dust cloud and then, transforming into a humanoid form.

"Fight me." Said Optimus as he draws out a blade from his arm and pierces the thunderjaw's head and with ease, he killed it, after that, he draws out a cannon from his back and shoots towards the Sith Troopers, spreading them and across the battlefield. "Blue Team! Are you alright?!" Asks Optimus concerned as he dodges the blaster shots and keeps shooting.

"Yeah! Thanks Prime!" Said John as he and the rest of the team slide downhill and they were approaching the case, but it was further away since optimus moved it when he drifted it, as they move towards the case, more incoming fire begins to rain over them, despite Optimues being there, the Sith Troopers are simply too many. The Blue Team begins to trade fire with the Sith Troopers as Optimus kills the remaining machines and spreads the squads of Sith Troopers gathered around the battlefield, as more machines begin to come.

Meanwhile in the woods, Kylo and The Rainbooms stop the fight for a brief moments as they look at each other, both are injured, Kylo's eyes show hatred and contempt, whilst Sunset's face shows determination to stop him, suddenly Kylo has an incoming message from one of his commanders. "Supreme Leader, the crystal is compromised, the enemy has reinforcements..." The message is suddenly cut by an explosion, Kylo can't let the kyber crystal fall into the hands of The Resistance, not before he had discovered its secrets. Kylo thinks of ways of escaping this diversion and protect the crystal, finally, and idea comes to his mind.

"You have skill brats, but you are forgetting something." Says Kylo arrogantly as he turns off his lightsaber. "What is it? Haven't we proved that we can keep up with you easily?" Replies Rainbow Dash, despite the scratches and wounds on her, her confident smile never fades away.

"You're utterly annoying, but no... it isn't that, you're forgetting you aren't fighting me... you're fighting... us!" Said Kylo as he snaps his fingers as his necklace glows, he could only be referring to Sunlight, who was behind them, but trapped. Little did they know, that the snap Kylo did, gave Sunlight power enough to wake up and free herself, immediately jumping towards Rarity and knocking her out with a single punch, the girls began their fight against Sunlight, but they were already exhausted from their fight with Kylo, who took this chance to leave the area and head towards the excavation site.

As the fight continues, Sunlight overwhelms the girls with her fighting style, which became more violent, Sunlight grabbed Fluttershy by the head and begins to knee her on her belly and then grabs her arm and slams her on the ground. Suddenly, Applejack punches her on the face and sends her flying away. "Fluttershy, can you get up?" Asks Applejack as she helps her friend get up.

"I think... I'm fine, I can't hurt her... she's not herself." Claims Fluttershy as she catches her breath, then the rest of the girls group up as they see Sunlight grabbing her head and saying with pain. "Why... why... none of you... DIE?!" Sunset then steps forth and replies. "Sunlight, fight it! You can do it, we believe in you!" Sunlight then shrieks of pain as a massive shockwave of dark magic pushes the girls back.

"SHUT UP... WE HATE YOU... YOU'VE BEEN NOTHING BUT THE CAUSE OF OUR SUFFERING... YOU... HAVE... NO RIGHT TO TELL ME WHAT TO DO!!"
Said Sunlight as the dark magic begins to change her, her eyes glow more violently with dark magic as horns sprout from her head as she keeps screaming of pain and tears run down her cheeks. "SUNLIGHT!" Shouted a worried Sunset Shimmer as she tries to reach for her friend, but a final shockwave hits her making her fall, revealing Sunlight's new form, similar to Sunset's she-demon form, but her skind is now purple thanks to the necklace's dark magic, her height was slightly altered, making her slightly taller than Flash Sentry, her uniform from The Final Order got modified with a more violent look, her armor glows with dark magic and her hair got longer and the ends of it glow with dark magic and move with a fire-like nature, as her eyes are completely dark and her pupils glow with dark magic, as flows of this magic leave her eyes, and her iris have a vertical shape as one of a dragon.

Everyone looks at Sunlight astonished, as it appears the former Sunlight is sinking even more, making it now harder for them to save her. "Now I am... what you made me... Sunset!" Said Sunlight as she charged forward and in the blink of an eye she grabbed Sunset by her head and slammed her on the ground, she then begins to fight the rest of the girls, but she defeated them easily as her strength and speed are now at the same level than AJ and Rainbow Dash, and she grows stronger by her rage. Sunset punched Sunlight with a fist clad of light, sending her away and giving her friends a moment to get up and prepare again to fight.

"Can't you see it, Sunset?" Said Sunlight as she gets up and continues with an evil grin and an arrogant voice. "None of you are match for me! You will lose! Why can't you realize that stupid magic of yours is no match for my power?" Asks Sunlight arrogantly, mocking of the Magic of Friendship, something Sunset won't overlook it, she stands firm with determination as her friends join her, with a serious voice Sunset replies.

"You may be stronger than us, but right now you're alone... Kylo left you to your own devices and you haven't realized yet..." Sunset is then interrupted by Sunlight who says with a mocking voice. "Pfft!! I don't need anyone's help to defeat you, I can do it on my own SO easily!"

"And that's precisely why you'll lose! You may have strength, but the strongest power comes from the ones that are always besides us, our friends are what gives an unlimited source of power! One that you can have, but not under Kylo's control... please... allow us to show you..." A magical aura coming from their necklaces begins to surround The Rainbooms, since the moment they got their suits, they haven't pony up, but this time... it's the perfect moment, their suits begin to change, lines begin to appear across their armor, powering them up with their magic, their pony ears appear, their hair gets longer and their cutie marks appear at the center of their chestplate, once their transformation's over, the magic around them explodes in a shockwave that pushed Sunlight even further away.

"They finally did it. Just like you said, Tesla." Said Iron Man proudly as the readings of energy go haywire but become stable after a few seconds. Stark's mind now remembers what Tesla said back in the moment where Stark visited Tesla, who was doing the final touches to The Rainbooms' battle suits.

Events here took place within the time lapse of chapters 10 - 12

"May I know what's our star member doing? Since your fight at that obseervatory you mentioned you've been here for days, I mean... even your apprentice has left, it appears the two of you have been very busy since then." Says Stark with a confident smile, trying to make some conversation, but Tesla is busy checking different sketches of the same armors, without looking away his research, he says. "Twilight's been dealing with the grief of losing a friend, we were working here a few hours ago, but she got a call from... uhm... Timber Spruce if I remember correctly, despite I don't know who that person is, it's obvious he's someone important for Twilight. And Sunset lost her lover, despite Flash fought bravely to end at least Starkiller, he failed *sigh*... it's a shame he died, and now John's gone missing... we must be prepared to fight Kylo, Starkiller or Sunset's counterpart."

"And that's why you made this suits? Wait... are these schematics from my armors?" Asks Stark as he grabs a blueprint from the table, Tesla looks at it and replies. "Yes... your designs are the closest reference to having an external power source, plus... Twilight and I got some ideas from your suits, hope you don't mind if we took inspiration from them."

"Nah, its simple curiosity. What are you doing now though?" Asks Stark as he looks around the lab, many sketches of these armors are across the room, Tesla then heads to a chalkboard and begins to correct a formula as he says. "I'm making a final adjustment to Twilight's designs, they're great, these suits are capable of using their powers for combat, but there's one thing missing..."

"And what is it? Weight, aerodynamics, energy output?" Replies Stark intrigued as he takes a look at the plenty of sketches around the lab, but Tesla chuckles and replies.

"No, Twilight was very meticulous when we were doing the first drafts... what I noticed time after we made them, it's that the suits won't exploit their full potential because they're made to work individually, when the girls' power is meant to be used in... harmony between each other..." Stark seems a bit confused and replies. "Uhm... care to elaborate?" Asks Stark as Tesla went to a holo table and begin projecting the results from the readings he got from the perfomances of The Rainbooms, from their first visit to the Infinity to their last training with John, Stark looks at the readings as Tesla explains.

"Their necklaces emit energy in different frequencies, that's why their powers are so different one from the other. But when they first... pony up... I got some interesting readings, their frequencies, although different in essence, begin to vibrate in the same tuning. Creating some kind of connection that works as a reciprocal channel, exchanging energy between each other, which leads to an endless cyle of energy flow that repeats itself over and over again..."

"So that's why their powers boost up every time they... pony up?" Asks Stark intrigued of this discovery, but Tesla continues. "Yes, and that's why I'm making some adjustments to the suits, to be able to tolerate this constant energy flow and exploit it. According to my calculations, only by wearing this suits, their power is at the same level than when they transform without the suits... so if we combine their transformation and the suits, they'll have a power beyond any of their expectations, probably at the same level than Starkiller with his necklace. But probably Sunset Shimmer can surpass that."

"The girl with bacon-like hair and anger issues can be more powerful than a Sith Lord? Now THAT's suprising." Said Stark with a mocking voice, when he got word that a bunch of teenagers with powers were able to keep up against Master Chief, he thought it's some kind of joke... and the mere fact that someone can outmatch a Sith Lord in raw power is kind of impossible, since there aren't many people that can counter The Force. Tesla then looks at Stark with a serious expression and says.

"Don't understimate them, especially her... Sunset Shimmer can access another transformation, one where she becomes much more powerful, the thing is... that her Daydream form works as a result of combining the seven different energies into one, which is hers. Also, her light spectrum in her Daydream form is white... the combination of all colors, and by simple logic..."

"She has all the powers, right?" Asks Stark, continuing Tesla's conclusion, but he only shows a proud smile and replies. "Technically, yes... but she won't be able to use them if she doesn't break the barrier that stops her... which is more like a self-realization thing, like cockroaches... all of them have wings, but not all of them know that, which leads to having some cockroaches that fly and some others that don't." Stark seems shocked by the weird analogy, but it explains very well the phenomenon. "Sunset's suit has a third configuration that shows up whenever she enters her Daydream form, and thanks to the energy flow between her magic and her friends', she'll be able to awaken this hidden power... it'll be amazing if I can witness it, but who knows when that may happen." Said Tesla finishing his explanation, Stark is amazed about this, such potential liying within these girls, but a question came to Stark's mind, and he can't help but to ask.

"Haven't you told them yet?" Asks Stark with curiosity, but Tesla only nods his head in denial and replies. "And I won't tell them." Stark can't believe what Tesla said and asks. "Why not? C-Can't you see it'll be stupid not to do so? How are you expecting them to use this configurations without knowing they exist?" Tesla then replies with a confident smile and begins to explain. "If I tell you that after exiting this room you'll be robbed, you're going to make a plan to avoid that, and when the moment comes... the whole situation gets really undermined."

"Where's the comparison point?" Asks Stark regarding that analogy, but Tesla continues. "The girls' power doesn't show up properly when they want to, it has to be authentical for it to work... if I tell them the secrets of their suits, they'll seek to unlock them everytime, when that's not what I made the suits in the first place, they aren't tools, but extentions of themselves." Concludes Tesla, as the memory ends, Stark finds himself crushing the last bunchs of machines around the are with Miguel and Aloy's help, whilst magic and explosion sounds are heard at the distance.

The battlefield is now even, Sunlight is quickly overwhelmed by the incoming attacks from many directions, Pinkie's explosion distract Sunlight enough for AJ or Rainbow Dash to land hits on her, while Twilight and Sunset attack from the distance. "I've had ENOUGH!!" Shouted Sunlight as she clashed her fists creating a shockwave that stops her attackers, and with a raging assault she managed to spread away the girls, and with an energy beam, she blasted the girls away, leaving Sunlight alone trying to catch her breath, but a sudden pain invades her head, leaving her guard down and Iron Man came in and took her away flying.

Aloy and Miguel came right after and realized no one was there, except for Rarity who was unconscious, Miguel wrapped her around his web and took her on his back. "C'mon, we have to catch up with the others." Said Miguel as he began to swing across the trees followed by Aloy who was riding a machine.

Sunlight began to punch Iron Man bringing him down, landing on the battle zone where Optimus and the Blue Team are fighting, when the girls recover from the energy blast, they realize they're amidst a chaos of blaster shots, explosions and bullets all across the field.

"What is happening?!" Asks Rainbow Dash as everyone takes cover behind some rocks, Sunset peeks out of cover and sees Kylo fighting against Chief, they seem to be fighting for a case near them.

"Girls, glad you're here... we need to stop Kylo or anyone else from taking the case near Kylo. We don't know what that is, but it may be dangerous if falls in Kylo's hands" Said Cortana through their communicators, the girls nod in agreement and they head towards the case while Optimus deals with more machines and the Blue Team gives the girls' cover from The Final Order's fire.

Sunlight punched Stark so hard that it sent him flying away and crashing against a nearby hill, she then realizes the girls approaching to the case and quickly charges forward and intercepts the girls, but Fluttershy jumps and kicks her away, as the girls stop, Fluttershy says with determination and a seriuos expression. "You go, I'll keep her away." The girls, reluctantly but determined, leave Fluttershy alone.

"I don't want to hurt you Sunlight, but right now... the only way to stop you, it's by defeating you." Said Fluttershy as she assumes the exact same battle stance she did against John.

Sunlight's expression shows anger and charges against Fluttershy, both have skills in martial arts, and despite Fluttershy's short experience, her techniques manage to keep up against Sunlight's skills, as the girls head to the case, Kylo noticed it and pushes John away and shoots energy blast to the girls' position, that results in sending the case away as it opens, letting go the Kyber crystal that falls through many rocks and when it stops, it begins to float due to the magic within it, and also the girls were blown away by the explosion, a rock hits Sunset's head as she falls to the ground, opening a wound on her forehead that begins to bleed.

Miguel and Aloy arrived and left Rarity at Linda's care as they jump to join the fight, finishing the hidden troopers but also those who are in places too high, as Optimus head to help Stark get up as he kills the remaining machines.

"Dammit! NO!!!" Said Kylo as he rushed forward the crystal, Sunset was the first one to get up and as she realizes she's right in front of the crystal, something's calling her, she notices Kylo quickly approaching and when she extends her hand to take the crystal, Kylo was also there, both of their hands grab the crystal at the same time, a magical shockwave knocks everyone down, as a powerful blue light in the center is trying to be take by the dark purple magic of Kylo, and the golden magic of Sunset.

"(I'm losing?!! The crystal... chose her?!!!!)" Thought Kylo as he felt the repulsive wave of the crystal pushing him away, but not Sunset, who seems to be pulling it, trying to take it away from Kylo's hands. "If I'm gonna lose it, I won't leave with empty hands!!!" Shouted Kylo as he used his other hand to grab Sunset's arm, and begins to take away slowly her magic, the ritual succeded but as he tries to take all of her magic, the repulsive wave pushes Kylo away, interrupting his dark ritual, Sunset falls on her knees as she sees the crystal on her hand as she tries to catch her breath.

"FLUTTERSHY!!!" Shouted Pinkie at the distance, when Sunset looks at her friend, she sees Sunlight's blade piercing through Fluttershy's belly, but it didn't pierce any vital organ. As Fluttershy's falls to the ground, Sunlight's expression shows regret, as she didn't want to do that, her gaze seems lost, as she doesn't recognize what she's done, Rainbow Dash rushes at full speed and kicks Sunlight away, she didn't put any resistance, nor noticed Rainbow Dash's attack, which made the impact much more powerful.

Sunset was trying to stand up to go and help her friend as a purple glow becomes more intense behind her, like when Sunlight transformed, a massive surge of dark magic raises in the air, revealing Kylo's new form, achieved thanks to Sunset's magic. His height is now like Master Chief's, and his dark clothes are now hidden under an armor made of dark magic, his Sith eyes glow with dark magic as the main color of all his magic changed from purple to red.

"I have to thank you, Sunset... this was JUST what I needed!" Said Kylo as he lands on top of a rock as he lifted Sunset with The Force and pushed her away with a shockwave of dark magic, crashing against many trees in the deep forest. "BASTARD!" Said Chief as he unloads a whole magazine of his assault rifle, but Kylo stops all the incoming bullets.

"That won't work, you should know that by now." Replied Kylo with an arrogant voice, as a truck comes and tries to run over him, but he stops it with The Force combined with his dark magic without looking and says. "Really? Such a primitive tactic, even for you Master Chief." Said Kylo as he used the innert bullets and shot them through the driver's crystal, but little did he know, that there was no driver.

"And the driver?" Asks Kylo confused, but then, the right part of the truck's grill separates and turns into a cannon as Optimus's voice says. "Right here!" The cannon shoots, sending Kylo flying away.

"Get on everyone! We have to go and help Sunset!" Said Optimus as now the girls get on the back of the truck and the Blue Team gets on the sides, as Kelly goes to where the girls are and checks on Fluttershy. "This isn't good... Linda! Biofoam, now!" Said Kelly as Linda threw a container with biofoam and administrated it on the wound, it's a kind of foam that works as medical first aid, it desinfects the wounds, stops bleedings and eases the pain.

"It's not much, but it'll be enough to keep her stable as we get to more softer terrain." Says Kelly as she throws the empty container away, Rarity then wakes up and is shocked by the image she sees, but there's not much she or anyone can do for the moment. Meanwhile, in the radio within the driver's cab turns on and receives a message from Stark.

"I hate being the party pooper, but it appears an extraction team is coming!" Said Stark as the Star Destroyer appears above them through a portal and deploys many gunships with Sith Troopers in each one of them. their landing near Kylo's position who stands up and shakes off all the dirt he had on his armor with his hands as Sunlight approaches him with many scratches on her.

"I like your new style, it suits you more... what happened to your troops, though?" Asks Kylo intrigued of what happened to the remnants of the Death Squad. "What do you think? The Blue Team was relentless in terminating them, even Ap'Lek and Cardo." Replies Sunlight with an angered voice.

"Oh well, that's a shame... although I never had any high hope for them, it's fine if you and Starkiller are alive." Said Kylo with a relaxed voice as a commander approaches him and asks. "Sir, what are your orders?"

"Search for those rebels and destroy them, Sunlight and I will be leaving since we got what we were looking for, and commander... don't you dare to return if they aren't dead." Said Kylo with a menacing voice as he and Sunlight board a gunship and leave heading for the Star Destroyer, meanwhile the group arrives at Sunset's position, Chief says.

"Hunters, keep us away from any ambush from behind while we prepare for evac, the Blue Team and I will stop any trooper that comes from the front, got it?"

"Got it!" Said the Hunters through the communicators, Optimus transforms as he heads for the left flank, while Miguel and Aloy cover the right flank and Stark provides cover from the air. "Sunset!" Shouted Twilight as she sees her friend under a tree, barely unconscious, she grabs her by the shoulders and calls her name again as Sunset slowly opens her eyes. "Get down!!" Shouted Linda as she tackles Twilight, protecting her from incoming blaster shots.

"Open fire!!" Said Chief aloud as now the battle had started, the girls put on all their effort to stop the incoming Sith Troopers as Kelly was bandaging Fluttershy's belly to prevent the biofoam from coming out. "Infinity, this is Spartan - 087 requesting for immediate evac, we're under heavy enemy fire, our coordinates are... AHZD-32°N..." Kelly makes a pause by desperation as she tries to be as fast as possible to protect Fluttershy, and with despair she says. "Just track my signal for fuck's sake!" Said Kelly as she brings Fluttershy to the ground to avoid incoming blaster shots, Kelly draws out her shotgun and kills the Sith Troopers. "Understood 087, evac will be ready in 3 minutes..." Kelly cuts the conversation as she sighs with slight relief and takes her shotgun. "Fluttershy, you stay here, got it?" Asked Kelly with a calmed voice, whilst Fluttershy only nods in agreement as Kelly now leaves and begins to swipe out the area from any incoming Sith Troopers.

Chief takes cover behind a rock and sees Sunset standing in the middle of the firefight. "Sunset! Get down!" Said Chief aloud but it appears she can't hear him, he takes off his helmet and says. "GET THE FUCK DOWN!!" But Sunset looks at him confused, as she can barely hear what he says, but when she was approaching him, a thermal detonator bumps on her foot and Sunset looks at with shock and says.

"That's... not good." Chief realized earlier and shot his grapple hook, wrapping Sunset and pulling her towards him as the explosion thrusts her even more, once she lands next to him, Chief puts on his helmet and says. "The cyrstal! It's magical isn't it? Use it!" Said Chief as he unsheathed his blades and charged against the enemy, along with Kelly, they manage to clear the area for a bit until more troopers arrive. Rarity helps Applejack get up as Rainbow Dash takes her to some cover as she received a shot on her shoulder and Pinkie Pie is in the backlines providing smoke screens, stun granades and more explosives, Sunset looks at the crystal that turned now golden in her hand, as she hears a similar voice in her head.

"Don't fear the Kyber crystal, it's part of you now... think of it... as an extention of you." Said the voice with a calmed tone, Sunset then feels the need to clench her fist, as she now feels a vitalizing wave flowing within her from the crystal, she then raised the crystal that combined its magic with her flames and emitted a healing wave that patched up all her friends, and with determination, she closed her fist as it glows with a golden light, adn by punching the ground with her fist, she created a shockwave of magic that brought down all the Sith Troopers and destabilized any aerial troops, as everyone looks at Sunset amazed of what she just did, a portal opens right in front of them.

"GO!! We are leaving!!" Said Chief aloud as his team and The Rainbooms cross the portal, followed then by Stark and the rest of the Hunters, escaping them as The Final Order leaves that world. Kylo heads to his room as he changes back from his Overlord form, strangely... he feels heavily tired, as it consumed all his stamina in this battle and the only thing he wants now is to rest.

As he lies on his bed and closes his eyes, he feels the dark magic surging within him, as he hears many voices within him, but he can't udnerstand what they're saying, as he opens his eyes desperately trying to calm his mind, he finds himself in an empty but warm realm, he looks at his hands and it appears he's... covered in dark magic, as he raises his sight, he can take a look at the world he's in.

"Where... am I?" Asks Kylo extremely confused, a sensation of confusion invades his mind, but also, he has the feeling that he's right where he has to be. With this new power, he and Sunlight have become a much greater threat, but our heroes won't let them win, right now, great questions remain... who was that voice that talked to Sunset? Where does the Kyber crystal truly comes from? And what kind of is it capable of?

The answer to these questions might be easy to achieve, but they'll change Sunset's perspective on what she has to do in order to save everyone she loves.
