Chief and Galen come out of Flash's house, Chief is talking with someone through his communicator.

"Twilight, make yourself clear, what happened with the other Sunset?" Asked Chief while him and Galen head to the garage, then Twilight replies.

"Sunset's... fighting... please... help her." Said Twilight, she sounded like she was hurt, which made Chief worry even more, but before he was able to ask Twilight where's the fight, the call ended.

"Where do we start looking then?" Asked Galen while turning on the warthog.

"Cortana." Said Chief, she appears at his hand, then Chief tells her.

"Track down Twilight's location, maybe if we head there we'll find Sunset." Said Chief while picking up an assault rifle and attaching it to his back along his blades.

Once in the warthog and out of the garage, they were about to follow Twilight's location, but Galen tells Chief to look up to the sky. Two lights are seen clashing and falling at the same time, one is a golden light, while the other one is a purple light with black outlines.

"Forget those coordinates, we're following those lights!" Said Chief before going full throttle.

The lights in the sky were Sunset and her counterpart fighting, while also falling deep into the forest, both seem damaged, but the human Sunset seems to have the upper hand at melee combat. Before crashing into the forest, Sunset takes her counterpart by the head and smacks her into the ground, forming a crater, Sunset flies away to the air to take her distance, she's breathing heavily, but she can't give up. Suddenly, her human counterpart emerges from the crater with blood dripping from the left side of her forehead.

(use it as background music if you wish.)

"Y'know? You aren't that bad at fighting, after all." Said the human Sunset with an arrogant smile. "But now is my turn." added the human Sunset before using her power to jump, in a brief moment, she closes the distance between her and her counterpart, Sunset flew back because of that, but it was too late. The human Sunset punched her in the face and with a powerful blow, she brings her to the ground, creating another crater.

Sunset then stands up struggling, and from the dust cloud created by the impact, the human Sunset appears and lands multiple blows on her, then she grabs Sunset by the leg and throws her at the trees.

"You're weak!" Said the human Sunset while throwing her counterpart away, crashing with a tree, then Sunset was about to stand up, but is received by a kick on the face, making her spit out some blood from her mouth, and start bleeding from her right cheek. Her counterpart was about to grab her from her hair, but she shoots a beam that sends her flying away. Sunset takes this chance to fight back, she flies towards her counterpart and imbueds her fists with energy, she lands a few blows on her human counterpart, but then she grabs Sunset's fist, and says.

"Is this all you have?!!" Said the human Sunset arrogantly, then she lands consecutive blows with one hand, while grabbing Sunset's fist with the other hand. "You're insulting me by holding back, Sunset!!!" Said the human Sunset to her counterpart, who now takes it seriously and lands a heavy blow on her human counterpart. Then she charges up a much more powerful beam and shoots it at the human Sunset, sending her even deeper in the forest, crashing with a mountain.

The sound of the crash was heard throughout the forest, scaring the wildlife, but as the fight goes on, the blue sky is now covered with thick clouds.

Sunset approaches to her counterpart flying with a powered-up fist, the human Sunset sees that and charges up and shoots a beam just like Sunset did moments ago. Sunset does the same with her other hand, the beams clash and create an explosion that blinds both of them.

Both Sunsets are using the smoke of the explosion to hide from their enemy, however, this didn't last long because they both found each other at the same time, their fists clashed creating powerful shockwaves. Purple and golden lights are seen in the deep part of the forest, both of them are now heavily injured, bleeding due to their wounds. It's been a close fight, what Sunset lacks on melee combat, is compensated with magical power, and the opposite happens to the human Sunset.

"We have to stop this, one of us will end up dying!!" Said Sunset, she's still trying to make her counterpart come back to her senses.

"Stop pretending this can be fixed, Sunset, there's no way back!!!" Replied the human Sunset, she then creates multiple daggers and throws them at her counterpart, but Sunset manages to eliminate them with precision, but a sneaky dagger stabbed her on her right thigh. Sunset groans due to the pain, she takes the dagger off and says with anger, "I HATE these cheap tricks!!"

"It was a diversion, dumbass!!" Said an angered human Sunset, closing the distance between them, clashing with her counterpart, both start trading blows again, but Sunset can't keep up with her counterpart's speed and strength. The human Sunset lands a kick on Sunset's left side, managing to break her left ribs, making her scream of pain and losing the defensive.

Fortunately, Sunset moves away quickly, breathes heavily, checks her wound, it doesn't seem like anything fatal, she then cleans a blood stain from her mouth and with determination, charges up her fist with energy and charges forward. Her counterpart does the same, thinking she'll win the clash, but she wasn't fully aware of Sunset's power, and she ends up being overpowered by her, receiving the whole blow and being sent away to the forest, clashing with many trees, breaking them and receiving the damage.

The human Sunset now is the one breathing heavily and also with many bleeding wounds, that blow really was powerful, Sunset arrives flying but holding the left side of her torso, and tells her counterpart with small signs of anger.

"I don't want to hurt you, Sunset... but you're leaving me no other choice, surrender now, and you may still have a chance to make things right." The human Sunset looks at her counterpart, there's still a deepless hatred towards her equestrian counterpart, after cleaning some blood from her mouth, she says.

"Surrender? We are Sunsets, remember? Then you know I HATE LOOSING!!" Said the human Sunset while taking a downed tree and hitting Sunset with it. The sound of a lightning is heard at the distance, and as the rain started falling, the human Sunset jumps onto her counterpart inmobilizing her. she then takes position over her equestrian counterpart and starts punching her on the face.

"I've been waiting for this moment for a very long time!!!" Said the human Sunset while still punching Daydream Shimmer, the blood spills all over the place, "You... won't... take it... away from ME!!!" The human Sunset landed even heavier punches, then she stops suddenly, she ends her rampage and sees Sunset's beaten up, bleeding from her forehead, cheeks, mouth, and nose while also both are covered in mud. Sunset then turns back to her normal form and says.

"I'm... sorry... Sunset, I... won't... ever... forgive myself... for... what... I did" Said Sunset with sorrow, she can't fight any longer and tears fall from her eyes.

The human Sunset remains in shock, breathing heavily as she sees her fists covered in blood with bewilderment, she can't believe it, she's never done this kind of damage to anyone before, except for someone in her past. Her mind sends her back to taht cold night, the breeze blows with strength through the dark trees, the glowing lightings of a strange blade illuminates her face as a wounded girl lies before her. "NO, NO, NO, NOT THIS!" Shouted the Human Sunset, returning to reality as she hears within her head."Kill her... Kill her... Kill her..." Those words resound in her head, but they don't come from her consciousness, they come from the crystal. Then she creates a small blade and aims it to Sunset's chest. A part of her doesn't want to do it, but this desire... it can't be stopped, the blade moves slowly as the human Sunset tries to stop herself. Before stabbing her, she sees double blades with red lightnings around it and two blue lightsabers out of the corner of her eyes approaching her head. She jumps to avoid them, failing the killing attempt, once she lands, she turns around and sees the owners of those weapons.

Galen and Chief arrived, "You're faster than me, take Sunset back to the Infinity." Said Chief while assuming a battle stance, Galen takes Sunset, but she says. "Chief...*cough* please... don't *cough* hurt her... too... much *cough cough*"

"I can't completely promise you that." Said Chief, Galen and Sunset leave, and Chief now talks to the human Sunset.

"This doesn't have to end like this, Sunset." Said Chief, trying to be reasonable.

"The Master Chief himself, finally I have the chance to meet you." Replied the human Sunset, she then takes the initiative, throwing a storm of flurry attacks, her fists clash with Chief's blades. He only defends himself, but in a brief chance where Sunset is opened, Chief lands a punch on her stomach, making her spit out blood and falling to her knees.

"You're too wounded, if you want to keep fighting, you won't survive." Said Chief with a deep voice, Sunset only looks at Chief, and laughs while saying.

"Hahaha! Now THAT's *cough* a good hit." Sunset stands up and says. "But I won't let this chance slip away from ME!!!" Said Sunset, then, her sclera turns pitch black, and her eyes start overflowing with dark magic. In a brief moment, although being hurt, she moves like nothing and approaches Chief at high speed, and lands a clean hit on Chief's torso, sending him away deep into the forest, crashing with many trees and finally crashing against a rock.

"Chief, she's on a whole other level now." Said Cortana after the impact.

"I've noticed..." Chief then stands and activates the runes of his blades, imbuing them with the demonic energy, and red lightnings start flowing around the blades. "...Let's take this seriously then." Then Chief moves at a high speed thanks to the power of his blades, Sunset notices him and throws a punch, clashing with Chief's charge attack. Then both start trading blows, they seem to be at the same level of speed and strength, but Chief swings his blades, Sunset barely dodges it, but received a cut on her right cheek, after this, Sunset becomes angrier and keeps fighting, although she's now fighting without a proper technique.

Chief's now able to handle Sunset properly, since she's led only by anger now, but he still doesn't take the offensive, only attacks occasionally, but most of the time he's having the defensive. Sunset then suddenly stops, her body aches as hell, she feels like her muscles are about to explode, Chief also stops fighting.

"This power of yours is now passing you bill, you have to stop using it!!" Said Chief, he wants to help her, but Sunset makes an effort and manages to take a device from her jacket, and presses a button, then she's teleported to somewhere else.

"She's... gone." Said Cortana, Chief sheathes his blades and runs towards the warthog, an incoming transmission appears on the warthogs communicator, Chief takes the call.

"Chief?! Where are you? Is Sunset alright?" Asks Flash, he's worried about the situation.

"I'm in the forest, I'm heading towards Twilight's coordinates, Sunset was taken to the Infinity by Galen, where are you?" Replied Chief while turning on the warthog.

"I'm at Sweet Apple Acres with Twilight, Rainbow Dash and Applejack, they are fine but what happened to Sunset?" Said Flash with a worried voice.

"She's heavily injured because of her fight with her counterpart, go to the Infinity, I'll meet you there." Chief shuts the call and starts driving.

Now at the Infinity, Chief meets with Flash, Galen and the girls at the waiting room, it seemed they all gathered up there.

"How is she?" Asks Chief, he looks at Flash who seems to be the most worried about Sunset, he looks through the window, staring at the infirmary.

Sunset lies on the bed, along many doctors around her, including Dr. Ziegler, they're examiniting the damage caused to her by her counterpart.

Flash's truly worried, he looks at Chief with a sad face and says. "She arrived with multiple injuries, broken ribs, bruises, and... *sigh* John, if I were there, this wouldn't have happened, I don't know if..." Chief takes Flash shoulder to calm him down, he gives a fatherly vibe towards him, then he says. "She'll be fine, although I don't know her as much as you do, I'm certain she has one of the strongest wills I've seen." Chief then looks at the girls and says, "Don't worry girls, Dr. Ziegler is there helping Sunset, I've seen her saving people from much worse situations, trust me when I say, she truly does miracles."

Time goes by, and after few hours, Dr. Ziegler comes out of the room.

"Doctor, how is Sunset?" Asks Chief.

"Well John, despite the multiple wounds, she responded positively to the medical treatment, her wounds are healed and so are her broken bones, the only problem would be that she'll feel general pain, but nothing pills can't treat, if she takes them periodically, the pain will disappear in week in the worst of cases, but in general, she'll be in perfect conditions in no time." Said Dr. Ziegler, suddenly Flash hugs her and says.

"Thank you so much Dr. Ziegler, you really are the best." Angela smiles and says. "Danke Flash, but I'm doing my job..." Then she looks at everyone and says, "...you can come in already, but please, be gentle with the patient, she might feel a bit sensitive."

Then, everyone gets in the room to check on Sunset, except for Galen and Chief, Dr. Ziegler then asks Chief with a low voice.

"John, what happened to that girl? Those injuries were really severe." Chief then looks at Sunset, turns back to Dr. Ziegler and replies.

"I don't know much details, the only thing I'm aware is that she fought against her..." Chief was about to finish his sentene but is then interrupted by the arrival of Tesla, with a datapad and exclaiming.

"May someone explain why we almost loose a whole timeline in the last 8 hours?" Everyone seems confused about that, Galen then asks.

"What do you mean with that?" Tesla then shows him and John the datapad, showing readings of the stability of the timeline of the CHS world, erratic spikes were present during the time Sunset and her counterpart were spending time together, and the spikes ceased within the hours when Sunset and her counterpart fought.

"If the events that provoked the metrics going haywire continued, we would've had a big problem." Said Tesla, Chief then asks him, intrigued by Tesla's statement.

"What kind of problem, Tesla?" Then Tesla takes his datapad and starts a simulation and says, "Well, probably time and space would've been smashed and merged, erradicating a continuity anomaly. This kinds of things happen because of two possible things, there are two versions of one same being existing at the same place and time, or someone is screwing with time travel. And Chief, we both know that the second option is yet to be discovered."

Galen remembers the readings and he recalls the fact that the anomaly ceased, "Then why it ceased?" Asks Galen, Tesla then takes his datapad and writes on it while saying. "If we keep the existence of two same beings at the same moment in space and time as the cause of it, then the readings stabilized because one of them stopped existing, or were no longer that person, which is complicated to explain, but not impossible."

Then everyone remains silent, but Tesla breaks the silence with a question. "Do you know who or what caused it?" Chief looks at Sunset, then he turns back and says, "I think I know, but I don't know why those spikes ceased." Then, Chief and Galen into the medical room, Sunset has bandages on her arms and forehead, she sees Chief and says.

"Chief...thanks for... saving me back there. I fought as I could, but it wasn't enough." Said Sunset, she stills feels bad for not being able to help her counterpart.

"Don't feel bad about it, but if we arrived seconds later, you would've died." Replied Chief, the girls are in shock, "Sunset... almost died?" that's what they thought, Sunset then says with regret.

"I know, you told me to make the right decision, I knew what I had to do, but I couldn't do it, I hurt her so much in the past that... I couln't take the shot, and now she teamed up with Kylo Ren and got dark magical powers...."

"Wait..." Chief Interrupted her and said, "...what do you mean with that?" Twilight then replies Chief's question. "She was the one to steal that fragment from the crystal you showed us, but about her alliance with Kylo Ren, that's still unsure to us."

"No it isn't, Twilight..." Replied Sunset, "...Chief said that probably Kylo Ren was here, what if he found her and lured her into teaming up with him? This is all my fault, I spent so much time fixing my other mistakes instead of focusing on helping her, now it's too late." Said Sunset with a sad voice.

"Maybe it isn't, Sunset." Said Galen, trying to cheer up Sunset, but she seems more confused than anything. "What... do you mean?" Asks Sunset.

"Y'know, this magic and the Force are quite alike, I've felt it and, if my assumption is correct, she'll stop being evil if we manage to destroy the necklace or if her soul is redeemed. But both options seem to be extremely difficult to achieve, but yet not impossible." Replied Galen, a spark of hope is illuminated within her, not everything seems lost.

"Hold on..." Said Chief, "...the stolen fragment, it was big enough to... if the other Sunset has a necklace then it means that... Dammit!!" Said Chief slightly angered, but no one understood what he meant, so Applejack asked.

"Ehm, Chief... what do you mean?" Chief looks at them and replies with a worried voice.

"That fragment had the size to create more that one necklace like yours, if the other Sunset has one, then it's highly probable that now Kylo and Starkiller have one."

"Now that's... a big problem." Said Pinkie Pie, she didn't witness the power of dark magic, but only looking at the damage it caused to her friend was enough to make her realize the threat it is that now there's three people with that kind of power.

"It is indeed, but we can focus on it later, for the moment, go home and get some rest, Chief and I will make sure neither the other Sunset nor Kylo and Starkiller are in your world." Replied Galen, although the situation calmed, Chief remains worried but in silent, what kind of dangers would bring this event. The only certain thing, is that everything will go from bad to worse if nothing is done about it, and he won't let anyone else in such a danger, not again.

END OF CHAPTER.
