As Sunset stands in bewilderment and silence, her golden self says with a calmed voice. "So.... where do you want to begin?" Sunset then snaps out of her confusion and then says with an energetic voice. "Where to begin?! You gotta be joking, like... what exactly happened? Why Kylo has god-like powers? Why did my friends die? And... when did this happen? Is Kylo going to chase you?"

The golden Sunset seems reflective, and after a brief moment of thought, she replies. "Let's begin with the last question... don't worry about Kylo, he's trapped in another future. Tesla and Twilight's research is the work equivalent to half a century of investigation, even though he wants to learn how we made it possible, he'd ended up going mad by the excessive amount of magic within him. And to respond the previous question... uhmm... let's see... what's the most recent event in your current time, before the battle at Aloy's world?" Sunset seems thoughtful but replies after a short bit. "We were trying to contact Sunlight, but now I understand why didn't she reply any of my calls nor messages." Sunset remains frustrated after remembering she couldn't break Sunlight's chains, causing her to become this raging demon, just like herself a time ago at the Fall Formal.

"I see... well, if I remember correctly, it's 3 months in the future from your current time. But... everything has gone as expected, so maybe it'll take more time." Said the Golden Sunset to her past counterpart, but Sunset seems confused of something her future counterpart said. "Wait...!" Said Sunset with surprise, and she then asked her future counterpart. "... As expected?! What do you mean?" Her future self sighs and then she asks. "Do you remember Flash's visions?

"Yeah, I do... what about them?" Asked Sunset, intrigued about what her future self has to say. "Well... he saw those visions thanks to me. It was a hard task, but thanks to it... things have been different since then." Said the future Sunset with a calmed voice, finally her plans seem successful for once, but her past self can't comprehend the meaning behind her words, hence she asks. "It was you? You led him at the observatory? Why?"

"Allow me to explain..." The future Sunset takes a deep breath and begins to explain her reasons. "... When Sunlight kidnapped Aura in my time, Flash told us, including John and the Blue Team. Despite their efforts, Starkiller knew it'll be a danger to have many people involved when they only wanted to kill me. That's why he killed Aura with his lightsaber and used her death as a diversion for him and Sunlight to escape. Meanwhile... Kylo and his army were fighting at Zeta Halo to gain control of a Flood sample, and although they got away with it, the parasite escaped and began to spread its threat across the multiverse." The future Sunset makes a pause and then says.

"When Kylo became a Sith, he began to scheme his great plan, which included bringing back Darth Vader, and he then infiltrated in Equestria, but I don't know how... and there was another problem... Sunlight wasn't snapping out of her hatred against me and didn't flinch much when she was tasked to fight me to death... *sigh* I only hoped that I could've saved her... but... I can prevent that from happening, what you saw... was the fate that you'll meet if nothing have been done!" Said the future Sunset as she now opens her arms and looks above as she says. "This crystal, it's the tool that'll grant you the power I lacked to stop my world from crumbling."

Sunset only shows her shocked expression after hearing everything, now it has sense... but few questions remain, with determination Sunset asks. "We can talk about it later, but first tell me... why did you get Flash killed?" The future Sunset looks at her past self as she downs her arms and says. "Because it made Sunlight regret her decision of fighting for The First Order, Aura's death happened while she was unconscious after fighting John, so it didn't afflict her much, plus if we add Kylo's lies, it didn't help to make her realize she was on the wrong path. I'm sorry if it was a bad time for you while Flash was dead, but John and Sunlight worked together to bring him back, and that resulted in a much better outcome than expected."

"But this crystal? What's its purpose? Why does it exist and why is my future consciousness in it?" Asks Sunset with confusion as she tries to connect everything in her mind. Her future self creates an illusion of the Kyber Crystal on her hand and says. "This crystal... it's my last resort... my whole essence became raw magic and with it, I've aided you in order to change the outcome of your future. But time seems to be running out, and so are my options. The Kyber Crystal is nothing but the physical representation of my entire magic, which allows you to reach for a power that'll help you fight the incoming threat that Kylo and his allies represent. While also providing you of a great magic source..." The future Sunset chuckles and then says. "... But yes, it'll also work as a lightsaber, so that Rainbow Dash doesn't feel disappointed... besides that, this crystal is my will and essence translated into an object... I'm lending it to you since the magic I used to keep my consciousness alive is running out."

Sunset then seems utterly confused, but also she seems determined to take this power in order to protect everyone, with a serious expression, she asks. "What should I do? What can I do to stop my future from becoming anything like yours?!" The future Sunset looks at her past self and says with a emotional voice.

"Although I'd like to answer that, there are rules that I must follow in order for this plan to succeed, but... what I can do tell is one thing... Never Give Up no matter what, got it?." Sunset looks at her future self and replies. "Got it... and... thanks, Sunset... for this." Her future self begins to elevate as she begins to shine even more brightly and says before saying goodbye forever. "Don't thank me yet... Good luck, Sunset Shimmer!"

Then, a golden light engulfs Sunset and the cosmic realm where she's in, Sunset closed her eyes by the blinding light and when she opens them again, she finds herself in the meditation room where she was before connecting with the crystal. "Thanks... Sunset." Said Sunset as she looked at the brand-new tool in her hand, the door behind her opens and Rey comes in.

"Hey! How was it? I sensed a massive surge in The Force, is everything ok...?" Asked Rey as she came in and Sunset stood up and turned around, showing her the brand-new weapon she acquired.

"Woah! It looks great! But I don't recall having such pieces..." Said Rey as Sunset handed her lightsaber for her to check it, as Rey inspects it, she feels how the crystal's energy flows through the lightsaber, as if it's completely imbued with its power. Rey hands back the lightsaber to Sunset, who looks at Rey who was only looking at her with thrill and pride, Sunset instinctively felt like she had to ignite it, and by pressing the activation button and a golden blade floods the dark room with its shining glow.

"It suits you. Though... it's a strange color, most are normally green or blue, among other colors, but... gold?" Asked Rey as she saw the blade and hears a weirdly calming sound coming from it. "Is it... bad?" Asked Sunset as she slowly swung her lightsaber, Rey only chuckles and replies. "No no no, the color of the blade has a meaning, blue sabers like mine are for warriors, but the golden ones... were for the Sentinels..." Said Rey with a calmed voice as she reflected on all the books she read about the Jedi Order before its fall.

"Sentinels?" Asked Sunset as she deactivated her blade and looked at Rey with curiosity, who only says with a serious voice. "Jedi Sentinels were a division of the Jedi Order, as far as I know... they were skillful warriors and wise members of the Order, but their duty... was to protect those who were members of the Jedi Order and its secrets, their knowledge, and traditions. But, the Sith erased that meaning, now... that golden blade, is the nature of your soul manifesting through the crystal... that why it suits you, Sunset... also, its color matches yours." Rey then looks at Sunset and says with a smile. "Shall we go and show them your new toy?"

As both leave the mediation room with a smile, John along with his team, Tesla, Galen and Richtofen seem to be discussing something at the Captain's bridge along with Lasky, John takes off his helmet and places it on the holo table and with an outraged voice, he asks. "WHAT do you mean, we've been gone for MONTHS?" Tesla then answers John's question with a calmed voice.

"At least, on the general model, but just as Richtofen and I said. A massive energy wave coming from opposite directions clashed and caused this... displacement." John then looks at Tesla, but before he can ask anything, Kelly asked first. "And what caused this waves and where do they come from?" Richtofen then steps forth and says. "We did our best to track the source of the collision and our trackers aim at two different universes, one being the one where you were carrying out your previous mission, and the other one, well... it was... Equestria."

"What happened? Did the Final Order arrived there?" Asked Fred with a serious voice, fortunately Tesla replies with a friendly voice. "Nein my good friend, we didn't detect anything that involved the Final Order, it was more... like an inner event that caused tons of magical energy to be unleashed, and the same happened in Aloy's world, although we lack information regarding Equestria's current situation since no one answers our calls, we were expecting that you could illuminate us with the events that took place on your side of the cosmic scale?"

John began to think about the consequences of this, what if this made them move several weeks to the future? He only sighs and, with a reflective voice, replies. "We were chasing down Kylo, he was carrying out a mining operation to extract an anomalous Kyber Crystal, Sunset and him fought for its control, but Kylo... used a Sith ritual to try and absorb magic. Though he failed to absorb the crystal, he absorb a good amount of Sunset's magic and... he became like an Overlord or something like that."

"I detected 4 power surges, that's only one... do you know which are the others?" Asked Tesla with curiosity, John only looked at him with a serious expression and continued. "Sunlight became... something different... it's like the darkness of her necklace has finally fused with her being, creating... a berseker-like form." Said John as he shows everyone the images he got of Sunlight's new form, as everyone analyzes her new form, John only clenches his fist, it hurts him to see his friend becoming slave of darkness, and it hurts much more that she's under Kylo's command. But he has to continue, therefore he calms his fist and says with a calmed voice.

"On the other hand, The Rainbooms ponied up after quite the time, their suits changed while also becoming more powerful..." John's then interrupted by Tesla who says with a cheerful expression. "HA! I knew that they'll do it!" Everyone looks at Tesla with confusion, as he only looks at John and says. "Sorry, you can continue, Chief." John only agreed with his head and continued his report. "With those two power surges, along with the one created by the struggle between Kylo and Sunset to obtain the crystal, and Kylo's evolution... I think that's everything."

Captain Lasky finally steps forth and says. "Thank you, Master Chief. Galen... have you found anything about Vader and Starkiller?" Galen only crosses his arms and replies with a calmed voice. "I lost track of them, but... before losing them, they divided... the only certain track I have is Starkiller's location, he went to a distant universe... but, thanks to Tesla's research, we found that the universe he's in is surrounded by other realities that share similar properties."

"A Cluster? Now that's new." Said Fred with a serious voice, John then asked. "When are you planning to go after him?" Galen looked at John and said with a calmed voice. "Starkiller's not gonna go anywhere, the universe he ended up, is one of many powerful beings, they use something called... Visions to manifest elemental power, but that's all we know. But first, we must find ourselves right now, this displacement surely confused not only us, but many more... so we must put everyone up to the date in order to continue." John looked away with a concerned expression, but Galen replied. "Don't worry John, it'll be fine." Lasky then said while looking . "While we do that, we should be preparing to fight this new threats, I'll call General Poe in order to arrange a meeting and discuss the recent events, but also... we have to keep insisting on contacting our Equestrian allies, we better make sure that everything is fine back there."

Lasky then looked at everyone and said. "Richtofen, Tesla... put the Science Division to work on this incident, we must know about any other thing that changed for the worse. Blue Team, thanks for your report... we'll begin to do joint operations between strike teams and Hunters in order to deal with any further threat that rises because of this..." Lasky is then interrupted by Linda who asks.

"Captain, what's the situation regarding the Flood infestation?" Lasky looks at her with an optimistic expression and says. "Omega and Crimson teams have been dispatched to deal with this matter, we currentyl have contained 97% of the infestation that spread to other universes, but their job might not be done yet, there might be other unknown infestations hiding from us while we hunt them, so stay put if anything else comes up."

After this, everyone leaves the Bridge and part their ways, but before leaving... John asks Galen. "Galen, may I have a word?" Galen then turns around and sees John with a friendly face and says. "Sure! Is it related to Sunset and the Kyber Crystal?" John then seemed shocked for a bit and then said. "How did y... *sigh* I should've expected it, but yes... it's about her. Do Kyber Crystals can emit energy shockwaves?" Galen then seems confused and says with a serious voice. "As far as I know, they don't, but after hearing your report, probably it isn't an ordinary Kyber Crystal."

"What are your thoughts on it?" Asks John with a serious voice, Galen then says after reflecting for a bit. "Probably that Kyber Crystal has properties that make it unique, if it was the anomaly you and Kylo detected, it means there's a huge amount of energy within it. And since Kyber Crystals connect with their owner, you said Kylo and Sunset struggled for the crystal?" Asked Galen with curiosity, John then replies with a serious voice. "They did, there was a clash between their magic, an impressive lightshow but the crystal seemed to push Kylo away everytime... as... if it was protecting itself."

Galen seems now even more confused, and with a serious voice he says. "Now... that's... wierd. Maybe we need to investigate more this Kyber Crystal, if we can call it that way." John then replies with a friendly voice. "As far as I know, Kyber Crystals are what the people of your universe use to craft their lightsabers, right? Maybe you could teach her a thing or two about how to properly use it, don't you think?" Asks John, Galen then looks at him with a surprised expression, it's the first time the Master Chief himself asks him for a favor, Galen slightly smiles and says.

"Yeah, you're right. I could teach her the basics, to at least learn how to use that new power, but first, go and check back to your world and see if everything is still fine, then we can make a plan to hunt down Starkiller once and for all, got it?" Said Galen as he shakes John's hand in a bortherly way, after this, they part ways and Fred quickly says. "We need to call Aura, I nee-... We need to know if she and Flash are fine."

John looked over his shoulder with curiosity, Fred is not the kind of person that mispokes, but with a calmed voice he says. "Indeed, let's regroup with the girls and go back home." As the team reunites with the girls, John sees how Rey and Sunset seem to be discussing something. "We have to start your training, maybe Master Marek can lend us a hand."

"Ok, I'll see if I can find a good moment to train." Said Sunset as she attached her new lightsaber on her belt but Rey interrupts her by saying. "It's not something you can just "see", Sunset... your lightsaber represents a new responsibility for you, you can't take it so lightly." John then adds to the conversation. "She's right, you better take it seriously Sunset, since we know it has many abilities that remain unknown to us." Said John as he and the Blue Team approached the group, Kelly then asks. "So, who's ready to go back home?"

The girls quickly raised their hands and Kelly took the lead and began to walk towards the portal room, the rest of the team and the girls followed her, except for Sunset who remains where she was standing, John approaches her and says with a comforting voice. "Hey, I know a lot happened, but maybe some rest will help you think better, so what if we go back home and pay a visit to our friends?" Sunset sighs and then agrees with her head, after that, both she and John head towards the portal, where everyone was waiting for them, and as they began to cross the portal, John couldn't feel anything but uncertainty, since he doesn't know how much time has passed since they left.

As soon as they cross the portal and arrived to their home, John and the Blue team couldn't help but to sigh of relief, Kelly took off her helmet and threw it away while she went to the Brokkr room to take the rest of he suit off, then she's followed by the rest of the team except for John, who remained still as he hears footsteps from upstairs, the door opens and the thrill runs down John's spine, as he sees Aura coming down stairs and saying.

"You finally showed up, what exactly happened?!" Said Aura as she looked directly to John with outrage, asking for answers, but John replies with confusion. "I... I don't know how to explain it... things happened across the multiverse and weird stuff made us waste more time than I would've wanted to." Aura then sighs and says. "Well, you've been away for a day and a half, so I hope you haven't forgot about our plans." As Aura said that, John felt much more relieved, only a day and a half have passed and that's more than he would've expected to, but right now, he's glad he didn't miss Flash's birthday.

After that, Kelly and the rest of the team came out of the Brokkr room and Aura looks at them with a smile and says. "Fred! Guys!" Said Aura as she quickly ran and hugged Fred, after that John asked. "Uhmmm... Aura, is Flash here?" Aura then turned around and said. "Nope... he had to do some rehearsal with his band, he left home a few hours ago."

John feels much more relieved since he can finally take a break, as he heads to the Brokkr room to take off his suit, but Kelly then says. "Does anyone else is starving? Because I am, what can we cook?" Said Kelly as she does stretches to relax, while Aura only chuckles and says. "Don't worry about that, I was already cooking somemthing, but if you help me, we can finish earlier." As soon as she says that, Pinkie Pie shouts.

"What are we waiting for?! Let's go!!" As she said that, Pinkie runs upstairs at a speed visually comparable with Rainbow Dash's, leaving the Blue Team shocked, Linda asks. "Wh-what?! She has super speed too?!" As the rest began to walk upstairs, Applejack replies. "Nope, that's just Pinkie Pie."

Moments before the team's arrival back to their homeworld, the Apple Family was enjoying of a sweet evening chat with an excentric individual. "Sorry Mr. Morningstar, but we won't let our apples be mass produced, it simply kills the whole essence of Sweet Apple Acres." Said Granny Smith with a serious voice, as the visitor takes the final sip of his cup and said with a refreshed voice.

"I wouldn't expect less from you actually, this is the best Apple Cider I have tasted in eons HAHAHA!! But I respect your decision." Lucifer places his cup on the table as he stands up and puts on his hat and looks at the apple of his staff glowing with golden light. "Oh! That's my cue to leave." Lucifer then heads to the door but Applebloom's voice is heard behind him.

"I hope you can find the person you're looking for Mr. Morningstar." Said Applebloom with a kind smile, Lucifer turns around as he slightly snaps his fingers and says. "You're so kind sweetie, thank you, but probably y'all want to check your garage." Said Lucifer with his charming smile as he shuts the door and leaves. Applebloom and Big Mac head right away to the garage only to be left in shock, the whole place was rebuilt, newer tools, a new truck and many tools to improve the harvest, along with it, Big Mac finds a note on the back of the door that says.

"Consider this a show of my grattitude for your hospitality, Apple Family

I hope this little 'gift' may help you in the future, best of desires.

Your good friend, Lucifer Morningstar."

As the Apple Family shouts of joy, Lucifer hears them from the main door, he only chuckles and hits his staff on the ground, englufing him on gteleporting him right in front of Aura's house. "Humph... good taste Johnny." Said Lucifer to himself with a surprised expression, he then proceeds to ring the bell, but no one answers, he can hear the loud chatter inside though. Meanwhile, Cortana checks the cameras, she can't believe that all of them are failing, her surprise is bigger when she realizes the motion sensors don't detect anything, and the anomaly scanner has gone haywire, detecting an unregistered massive surge of energy coming from one being. Cortana then appears in front of the dinning table as everyone was enjoying of a good meal and says. "Guys, you better go and open the door." John is the first one to stand up and heads slowly but firmly towards the door.

"How rude of them..." Said Lucifer as he shakes off some apple crumbs of his suit and then knocks the door with a rythmic tone. It didn't take long for John to open the door and ask surprised. "Lucifer?! W-What are you doing here?" Asked John, trying to make the least noise possible, but everyone is already too curious to ignore the situation, Lucifer, with his charming smile and sarcastic voice, replies. "Well, y'know, I love knocking on people's doors... AHAHAHA! The truth Johnny, is that I have some business to talk with you and your friends. Said Lucifer as he peeks behind John only to see everyone's confused expressions, with a confident expression, he says.

"Oh, don't worry everyone, I'm Johnny's friend, uhm... may I come in?" Asked Lucifer in a polite way, Aura then replies. "Well, it'll be rude of us to leave you standing on the doorway, you may come in Mr....?" Asked Aura with intrigue since she has never seen this man before, but Lucifer replies. "Ah, thanks Mrs. Sentry, allow me to introduce myself... Lucifer, Lucifer Morningstar." Said Lucifer as he walks forward and extends his hand to greet Aura, who seems a bit confused about the fact that he knows her name already, but... she can't deny a polite handshake, as she grabs Lucifer's hand, she feels something strange about him, although his hands are black, those aren't gloves, but his hands itselves. John closes the door and looks at Lucifer with a serious expression, as he asks himself the true reason behind his visit.

"Lucifer? Like... the Devil?" Asked Aura with a sarcastic voice, as she tried to make a joke about the man's strange name, but he replies with confidence. "Yup, the one and only. But I prefer to be addressed as Mr. Morningstar, Devil it's only used by those who hate me." Said Lucifer as he ends the handshake, he then introduces himself to the rest. "It's a pleasure to meet y'all, I've been really looking forward to our meeting. John was very reserved with his family, but hey, I gotta shake the hands of the ones who have sent many sinners to their place downstairs, ahahaha.... if you know what I mean." Said Lucifer as he greets the Blue Team, the then looks at the girls and says with a happy expression.

"And LOOK who we got here, the people of the moment! Rainbooms, I gotta admit it, I didn't care much about y'all, but when I saw you almost sending Starkiller to Hell, aw man, I had to keep an eye on you... discretely obviously, so that John wouldn't find out." Said Lucifer with a joking voice as he looks at John, who has a slightly angered expression. But with a calm voice, John asks. "What is your business here, Lucifer?"

Lucifer then sits on the table and says. "Well, it's funny you ask, since... I mean, I've been looking for you for a whole day in this world, but... leaving that aside, the truth is... I have to talk with Sunlight..." After Lucifer said that, everyone had a sudden change of expression, as if they didn't want to touch that topic, but Lucifer then continues. "So, where is she?"

Sunset then says with a nervous voice. "Well... Mr. Morningstar... it's complicated, you see... we just ran into Sunlight and she..." Sunset tries to articulate the words, but just remembering Sunlight's demonic look makes her feel nothing but regret, as Sunset feels deep within she failed Sunlight, Lucifer interrupts by sighing and saying with a calmed voice. "*sigh* Let me guess, she got twisted by her necklace's dark magic, am I right?"

Sunset then takes a deep breath and replies. "Yes, she... did." Lucifer then places his hat on the chair backrest and says. "It was a matter of time, but she didn't listen, and now we have even bigger problems." John then interrupts Lucifer by asking. "Wait, what do you mean, Lucifer?" Lucifer then takes his staff and stands up, he slightly hits the ground with his staff and teleports everyone to an imaginary realm where they can see a vast part of Hell, Lucifer then says with a serious voice.

"As you may know, Hell exists aside from all the Multiverse, since all the sinners' souls end up here of course. But there are some... individuals... that deserve a much more special treatment, and that's when they are sent to Tartarus..." Lucifer slightly leans his staff backwards and the realm warps and changes, showing now the endless raws of cells that lie in Tartarus.

"Wow! What is this place?" Asks Twilight shocked and amazed, Lucifer then replies with a serious voice. "Tartarus is where I keep the most dangerous sinners under custody, and as you might already guess, there's ONE particular being that recently escaped..." Lucifer leans his staff forward and warps the realm in front of Vader's cell, which is obviously empty, Lucifer then turns around and says. "And someone, used Dark Magic to bring him back to life, but in the process... they brought back the merciless Sith Lord!"

John then asks confused. "Hold on, Vader died while he was evil, right?" Lucifer then places his hand on his face and says. "Allow me to give you a history lesson. Darth Vader was once a Jedi Master named Anakin Skywalker, he redeemed himself through helping his son, but after dying... he had to pay for the attrocities he comitted while being Vader. And I mean, for being in Hell, he had an outstanding behavior, he never broke a rule nor hurt anyone. Also, since he was The Chosen One, let's just say he had extraordinary abilities with The Force, so he could project a portion of his soul into the mortal realm, and also a lot of complicated shit that I'm not going to explain right now!"

"And what happened next?" Asked Sunset intrigued by this, she can't believe the Vader she fought was someone so different. "*sighs* Anakin is a kind soul, the problem is that the person who brought him back used Dark Magic, engulfing Anakin with all that darkness, only caused the motherfucking Darth Vader to come out and control him, and judging by the traces of the mark on his cell, the amount of magic was huge, meaning there isn't much room for Anakin to take back his body." Lucifer then hits the ground with his staff again, teleporting everyone back to the living room.

"And what does it had to do with us? I mean, Kylo Ren was behind that, they even gave Darth Vader a Dark Magic necklace." Says Rainbow Dash with a serious voice, but Lucifer then says with a more calmed voice. "Well, the Dark Magic Kylo used began to release many prisoners, I even had to ask Spawn and some other fella to hunt down the outlaws, they may get in touch with you later, but the fucking problem is... that if I get involved directly, the people upstairs will get word of this events, and I'll have them on my ass for more time I want to, so I propose to make a deal."

"A deal with the Devil? You gotta be joking!" Says Aura with a sarcastic voice, but Lucifer replies with a mocking voice. "Well, don't forget it was thanks to ME that John brought back your son, so please mind your place Captain, you have escaped death many times during your career, who knows when your luck will run out." Said Lucifer as he looks at Aura with a mocking smile, Fred then stands forth and says with outrage. "Is that a threat? Because let me..." Fred's then interrupted by a magic seal that shutted his mouth, he then sees that Lucifer did it by moving only two fingers and then he says with a serious voice. "Not a threat Frederic, but a warning. *sigh*" Lucifer then looks at John and everyone else and says. "This is the deal, I keep unexpected visitors out of your doorway and you help me erradicating Vader, sounds fair?"

"And how do you expects us to kill an overpowered Sith Lord, huh?" Asked Kelly as she placed her hand on her waist, Lucifer then looks around and says. "Well, it appears someone made it much easier." Lucifer snaps his fingers and Sunlight's pistol appears on his hand, John seems schoked as he didn't think he would've find it. "This blessed gun is capable of turning every bullet in it into a holy bullet... which eradicates darkness, a few shots to his torso and Vader will be weakened enough for Anakin to take back his body, a headshot would be much more effective, though. Just, make sure you can heal his wound, hahaha." Chuckled Lucifer as he hands the gun back to John, and Sunset then asks. "Wait, you're saying that the gun can cleanse darkness, then..." Before she can ask, Lucifer had it already coming and with a serious voice, he says. "No, Sunlight and Vader's situation is different the one from the other. Vader was brought back with Dark Magic, engulfing him, but he was already dead. Sunlight on the other hand, is being manipulated by Dark Magic, which infected her deep within, he heart might be contaminated already, if you use that gun, yeah... you may weaken her, but also you may eradicate her... forever."

Sunset's expression changed, when she thought there might be a chance to help Sunlight, there's actually a way to end her. "Then... what can I do?" Ask Sunset with frustration, Lucifer sighs and asks. "You're bearer of light, you tell me." Everyone remains shocked, except for Sunset, who begins to recall what she's been able to do with her powers, being the most important feat, to have eliminated all the magic that drove Twilight mad and turned her into Midnight Sparkle. "I think we can use Sunset's magic to free Sunlight, but... how can we create the perfect scenario?" Asked Twilight with curiosity, it appears she also thought the same as Sunset, John then says to Lucifer.

"You want a deal? Help us out and we'll help you, got it?" Said John with a serious voice, Lucifer rolls his eyes over as he seems not to have other option and says aloud. "Ok ok, I'll give you hand, Sunset... hand over your lightsaber." Said Lucifer as he extends his hand, leaving everyone shocked since no one else knew that, as Sunset takes her lightsaber out of her bag and proceeds to hand it over nervously, she asks. "How did you know I have a lightsaber?"

As Lucifer grabs the weapon with swiftness and delicacy, he says with a smile. "Darling, in my line of job, you don't get to make a good deal without the proper information." Lucifer then makes the lightsaber leviatate, and engulfs it in golden light, as he then hands it back to her owner, the light reveals her weapon, but nothing changed at all, then with curiosity, Sunset asks. "What... exactly did you do?"

Lucifer then puts on his hat and says. "I've blessed your weapon, now, everytime it hits Dark Magic, it'll cleanse it. Not instantaneously, but progressively, it should make it easier for you to free Sunlight from the darkness of her necklace." Lucifer then turns around towards John asks with a smile. "Now then, we have deal?" Lucifer extends his hand with confident smile. Although John wouldn't accept it, there's no turning back now, after a deep sigh, John shakes Lucifer's hand and says.

"Deal." After this, hellfire begins to circle around them wildly as Lucifer chuckles and says. "Now THIS... is what I call making business, bye bye!" After that, Lucifer hits the tip of his staff on the ground and flames begin to engulf him, teleporting him back to Hell and after leaving, the magic seal on Fred's mouth faded away, and a poker card was left where Lucifer was standing.

"Ugh, finally! I was getting tired of that!" Claimed Fred as he can finally speak, John crouches and picks up the card, it's similar to the one he used to have, now again, he can't cut binds with the Devil, after a bit of reflection, John stands up and says to himself. "I'd never get rid of you." After this, he keeps the card in his pocket, after this, Applejack asks. "So, what do we do now? I mean, everythin' was all of a sudden, and is that Lucifer, the real one, y'know, the actual Devil?"

John sighs and then replies. "He is, in fact, there's no other being I know in the whole Multiverse that's above him, his powers' limit are yet unknown to me, that's why we have to be very cautious when dealing with him." Then John looks at Fred, rolls his eyes over as if he says, 'yeah, got it', Rainbow Dash then says. "Ok, besides that, what do we do related to Vader and Sunlight, huh?" Kelly then says with a calmed voice. "Leave Vader to us, you can handle Sunlight, but you gotta be extremely careful."

"There might be only one shot at this, we have to make it perfect, but what can we do?" Said Twilight as she began to scheme in her mind, while the rest looks at Sunset, after all, she's the one capable of matching Sunlight in a fight, Sunset looks at her lightsaber, and she beings to recall the words of her future self... Never Give Up... with this in mind, her soul ignites with determination and with a serious voice, she says.

"It'll be honest with you, I still don't have it clear, but I won't give up until I save her, I'm ready to bring her back, would you help me?" Asked Sunset Shimmer with a serious voice. "Always, Sugarcube! We ain't best friends for nothin', plus... Sunlight deserves to live her life instead of being prisoner." Said Applejack with determination.

"Sunlight helped me out once, I also know she isn't a bad person, and she's also amazing. So we have to bring her back." Added Rainbow Dash, followed then by Twilight. "I know I had my disagreements towards her. But now, I see how fool I was, and after all she did to try and make amends, I can ask one thing..." Twilight then puts her hand on the middle and asks. "Who's ready to save our friend?" After this, everyone puts their hand on the middle, except for Sunset, who looks at her friends and says. "Thank you, guys! I really appreciate it!"

"C'mon Sunset, you're the only missing!" Shouted Pinkie, Sunset then places her hand on the middle and says. "Ok, at the count of 3, 1... 2... 3!"

"LET'S DO THIS!!!" Shouted the Rainbooms at the unison, John looks at them with a smile and says aloud. "Alright team! There's a lot to do, let's think of our strategy in the lab!" After this, everyone headed down to the lab, leaving only John and Aura behind, with excitement, Aura asks. "You seem thrilled, aren't you?" With a slight smile, John replies.

"It's been quite the while since the last time I've seen young blood so determined, and to be honest, I have high hopes on them." Aura then chuckles and says with a smile. "Yeah, in my whole career, I've never seen any like this, but I can't ignore the fact that they're kids." Said Aura with concern as John looks down reflective, and says with a thoughtful voice. "I know, it's dangerous and they might face many threats, but I'll protect them... I won't let anyone else die from now on." Said John with determination as he and Aura head to the lab, with only one resolve in his mind and his team's.
