A day passed since Sunset's battle, now at the same forest where the battle occurred, Chief and Flash are patrolling, but they stop at a pond nearby.

"Chief, we've been walking for quite the time already and found nothing, can we please return home? School starts tomorrow." Said Flash, he seems tired of walking through a deep forest for quite a while.

"Then we better finish our patrolling route as soon as possible, don't you think?" Asked Chief, who unlike Flash, is not even exhausted due to the walking.

Flash puts on the ground a bag he has been carrying, he opens it and takes:

An exoskeleton that he wears on.

A katana which's design was made according to someone Chief met, but is made from an alloy of different special metals. He attaches it to the left side of his waist.

An energy pistol he holsters it on the right side of his waist.

Along some armored bracers and a chestplate, he finishes suiting up, and Chief asks.

"Why did you suit up until now?" Asked Chief, while he takes the anomaly tracker Tesla made and checks it to see if there is any unusual readings.

"Because the bag was too heavy, I rather wear my equipment than carrying it. C'mon, let's get this over with." Replies Flash while taking the empty bag on his back and then both resume their patrolling.

Amidst the silence and the forest ambiance, Chief asks.

"So...Flash, can I ask you something?" Said Chief with a much friendlier voice.

"Huh...? Sure, why not." Replied Flash, he seems shocked because of Chief being this... normal.

"What's your relationship with Sunset?" Asked Chief, his voice didn't flinch to ask that, but that really caught Flash off guard.

"Well...we're... how can I say it... why the question though?" Flash seems nervous due to the question, fortunately for him, Chief replied.

"I saw how were you reacting back at the infinity, you were worried about Sunset's welfare, but not at the level of a close friend nor a relative, that's why I ask." Flash calms a bit, then he takes enough courage to properly reply to Chief's question.

"We're close, maybe you can say as a... couple. And yes, we've been dating if you want to call it that way. Plus the fact we've had moments where our feelings were corresponded to each other, but she's more reserved to these kinds of things, and also including the fact that we haven't said the phrase yet." Chief then replies.

"What phrase?" He seems to genuinely be unaware of what Flash is meaning. "Y'know... the one that goes with..." Flash makes a long pause, then Chief asks. "I... love you? Is that the phrase?"

"Yeah! That one! But is something that you don't simply say like that, it has to come straight out of the heart." Replied Flash, she seems a bit nervous though.

"The why haven't you said it, you lover her, don't you?" Asks Chief, he's trying to understand the situation.

"That's...! True... But as I said, you have to wait for the right moment, it has to be special, y'know?" Said Flash, who feels like he's having the first normal conversation with Chief since they meet.

"You shouldn't wait for too long, when you think that moment arrived, it'll be too late." Replied Chief, he seems to know what that feeling's like.

"Whoa! You're giving me love lessons, Chief?" Asks Flash with a surprised voice, this is a topic he would've never expected to talk about with Chief.

"I'm just saying kid, anyway..." Chief then hits Flash on his shoulder in a friendly way, "...Don't mess it up, you won the lottery with her." Said Chief, Flash then turns aside and with a smile on his face, he says, "Yeah, I know..." Then, a strange sound is heard near them, both Chief and Flash take defensive positions, Flash unsheathes his blade and Chief aims his assault rifle.

Then, from the woods, strange figures emerge, they have humanoid anatomy, while also carrying ice weapons, and their skin is blue as the cold winter.

"Hel-Walkers." Said Chief while changing his fire weapon for his blades, the fight starts, Flash and Chief manage to take them down easily due to the Hel-Walker's lack of fighting skill, but then appears a much bigger Hel-Walker carrying a mace. In a brief moment, he strikes his mace on the ground, creating a barrage of ice spikes, which pushed Chief away. Flash then uses the spikes to approach the enemy, once he's in the air, he raises his blade and says.

"Flame Breathing technique, Third Form: Blazing Universe!!" Then Flash swings his blade downwards, creating a fire trail and slashing the Hel-Walker, teh strength of the the attack was such that split the Hel-Walker's torso in two. After landing, Flash sees the enemy falling to the ground, he managed to kill it, then he exhales while sheathing his blade and the corpse of the enemy fades away.

"That was the last one. Chief, where does these things come from?" Asks Flash, confused because he's never seen a creature like these before.

Chief stands up, attaches his blades on his back and replies. "They come from the netherworld of another universe, we must go there and check what's happening, an anomaly like this one can't be let loose, we have to fix it."

"Hold on... We're going to another universe?! What about school?"Asks Flash, he can't believe what Chief's insinuating.

"Relax Flash, time moves will move differently, a day there would be an hour here, so when we return here, not half a day would have even passed." Replied Chief, he's taken a device from his waist, is like a portal device Starkiller used time ago, but this one has more buttons, after a short waiting, Chief manages to open a portal.

"C'mon, let's go." Said Chief while standing next to the portal. Flash makes a face of resignation and goes through it and Chief follows him.

Once through, both arrive to what it seems like a forest, but is covered in snow, and the wind blows cold.

"C-C-Chief, w-why is so cold here?" Asked Flash while slightly shivering, then he uses a breathing technique to keep himself warm.

"It's called Midgard, the land of mortals, we're here because we need to find someone that can help us finding out the Hel-Wakers' issue." Said Chief, both start walking through the forest, but amidst the silence, Flash asks.

"What if more Hel-Walkers appear back into our world? Who's gonna deal with them?" He seems concerned about leaving his world unprotected, but Cortana gladly replies his questions.

"Don't worry Flash, I've already told the Blue Team about the situation, they'll be watching over your world." Flash seems a bit less worried but yet, this is of his few times where he wandered in another universe, so he's still nervous about what could happen.

As the duo keeps moving, a snow storm catches them, blinding their sight. They managed to keep moving forward, but suddenly, a frozen axe stuck in a rock, right in front of Flash's face, he looks the axe's frozen edges and sees what appear to be runes carved in it. Then the axe flies backwards to where it came from. Chief noticed it and takes his blades, a cloaked figure approaches them quickly wielding the axe, both Chief and the stranger clash their weapons. The ice of the axe and the demonic energy of Chief's blades create a shockwave that clears the snowstorm, revealing the stranger's identity.

"John?!" Asks the man, surprised to see Master Chief.

"Kratos, is nice seeing you're doing fine." Replied Chief, then both put their weapons down, Kratos then says.

"Sorry for my behavior..." Said Kratos while looking at Flash, "...I confused you with those other outlanders due to the snow storm." Added Kratos, Chief then recalls the word other outlanders, he couldn't help but to ask.

"Other outlanders? Who's been here before us?" Asks Chief, expecting the worse.

"A group of soldiers, their armors were white as snow, but they were led by a man wearing a black armor, they tried to inspect a rift that appeared time ago here in Midgard. I don't know what it does, but as you said the last time you were here, it's better not to touch them, that's why I've been keeping them away from the rift." Replied Kratos while attaching his axe to his back.

Chief's suspicions were true, Kylo or Starkiller are here to take control of an anomaly, but the question now is. Why they haven't been able to detect the anomaly if it appeared time ago? The answer of this question can be found later, for the moment, they have to stop whatever The First Order's doing in this world.

"Ok, so we eliminate the First Order forces in this world and we head to the anomaly to try and fix it, everyone agrees?" Asks Flash as an overview of what Kratos said and what's obvious to do in these cases.

"Hold on, kid. We still don't know if their leader is still here, and if so, would you attack directly Starkiller or Kylo Ren, even though we already know that they have new dark magical powers?" Replies Chief, this situation has to be dealt with cautiosness, one mistake can jeopardize this world. Chief then looks at Kratos and says. "Kratos, is there a place where we can discuss the situation?"

"Follow me." Replied Kratos with a deep voice. Then, the group starts walking, everyone remained serious, but fortunately, Chief broke the silence with a question.

"Where's Atreus? The last time I saw him, he was a little boy." Asked Chief, but Flash doesn't know who's talking about, his face reveals it.

"He... left... to walk down his own path, that was 2 years ago." Replied Kratos, his face shows no emotion, but in his voice, he misses that person.

Flash couldn't keep the doubt any longer, so he asked in the most polite way possible. "Please excuse my ignorance but, who's this Atreus you're talking about?"

"It's my son." Replied Kratos with a serious voice, the silence became prominent again as the group kept walking, not long after, they finally arrive to their destination.

"We're here." Says Kratos while the group approaches the door.

Once inside the cabin, Flash takes a quick look around and sees damaged pieces of stormtrooper armor covered in blood, he then asks.

"Why there's stormtrooper armor here?" Chief then also looks at it, chestpaltes, helmets, bracers, the whole set, but as they looked at the armor, Kratos replied.

"I wanted to understand the enemy, their armor was nothing I've seen before, but nothing an axe can't cut, theri weapons on the other hand, are the true danger, I've seen how the projectiles they shoot burn the area where they impact, although I have a shield to protect myself, direct confrontation is not an option." Said Kratos while taking the armor pieces and taking a look at them.

"Kratos, where is the rift located?" Asked Chief, he's more concerned in dealing with the anomaly than with The First Order.

"It appeared far from here, passing the Lake of Nine, deep into the Well of Urd, we can arrive there before night comes if we leave now." Replied Kratos while heading to a chest in the room, he opens it and takes his weapons.

Two blades bond to his forearms by chains, they seem affected by rust, but also look pretty sharp.

A ring that turns into a spear and it's able to create infinite copies of itself.

Now ready to leave, Kratos says. "The enemy will be there, so we better be cautious." The group was heading to the door to exit the cabin, but they're stopped due to strange person coming in.

"Kratos, the enemy has sorrounded the..." The woman sees Flash and Chief, confusing them with enemies, she raises her blade, Chief aims his handgun and Flash was about to unsheath his blade, but Kratos stops everyone by saying.

"No!..." Said Kratos aloud, he then looks at the woman and says, "...Freya, they're allies, I met them time ago, they're here to stop the rift." And as the woman heard those words, she put her sword down slowly, so did Chief, and Flash released the grip of his blade.

Freya didn't sheathed his sword, she finds it hard to trust such unknown individuals. "Kratos trusts you, the righteous thing is that I also do, but I prefer be cautious, hope it doesn't offend you." Said Freya.

"Not all..." Says Chief, Kratos introduces her to the group, "She's Freya, a friend of mine, she's been helping me to deal with these outlanders you've been talking about." Chief then says, "...Anyway, Freya... you were saying something before, mind to tell us what was it?" Asks Chief.

"I was about to say the enemy... the outlanders, were sorrounding the Well of Urd, they're now creating a perimeter around it." Replied Freya, then, another voice said. "...Indeed brother, so if we wanna stop them, we better hurry up before they twist with that stupid rift." Flash can't find who said that, confusion invades his mind, fortunately, Chief knew who said that.

"Mimir? Is that you?" Asks Chief, then Freya lifts a head that was hanging from the back of her waist.

"The one and only brother, it's been 5 long years since I saw you." Replies Mimir, he seems content to meet Chief again, in some sort of way.

"Ok, how is that head... alive?" Asks Flash, astonished for what he's seeing. "Short answer, magic." Replies Chief, now that everyone is grouped up, Chief takes the lead and says, "Let's go."

The journey was rough, but the group managed to get to the Lake of Nine safely, the group sees activity ahed of them and moves cautiously.

The group hides behind rocks, there's a First Order Patrol ahead, Chief then proceeds with a plan. "Listen everyone, I'll create a smoke screen, they won't see where do we come from, Kratos... you and I are the vandguard, Freya will support with suppressive fire from behind and Flash will finish off the remaining troopers, understood?" Asks Chief, everyone agrees and the assault begins.

Chief throws a smoke grenade, blinding the troopers, then an arrow pierces through the smoke and the commander's armor, bringing him down, then, Kratos and Chief come out of the smoke charging against the troopers, Chief uses his assault rifle killing a couple of troopers, Kratos throws his axe, hitting a stormtrooper and with his blades, he pulls himself towards the enemies, forcing them to break formation, but Freya's arrows start reaching them, and those who escaped are hit by Flash's energy gun, but one of stormtroopers manages to escape, reaching a snowspeeder.

Before the trooper manages to leave, the speeder is hit by Kratos' blades, anchoring it and stopping it from leaving, then Chief jumps on the speeder and throws the trooper off it, Flash stops him by using the edge of his blade to intimidate him, and as the trooper is the only remaining survivor, he can't do anything but obey.

"What does the First Order want with the rift?" Asks Chief while grabbing the stormtrooper, "I won't tell you, rebel scum..." Chief then puts the cannon of his handgun below the chin of the stormtrooper. "Are you so eager to die?" Asked Chief while slowly pulling the trigger, but not firing his weapon, the trooper sucumbs to despair and reveals his mission.

"F-Fine, you win. The rift is not like any anomaly we've seen before, this one leads to somewhere we don't know yet, but when you arrive, it'll be already too late." Chief then takes his gun off the trooper's chin and holsters it, "We'll see about that." Said Chief, but before the trooper thought he saved his life, Chief's knife pierces through his armor, making him bleed, the trooper falls to the ground and tries to use his bracer's communicator, but Chief destroys it by stomping on it, then on a mercyless move, Chief shoots at the trooper's head, killing him instantly.

"We better keep moving." Said Chief, Freya and Kratos follow him indifferently, but Flash stays in shock for what he saw, "Flash, move!" Said Chief aloud, then Flash comes back to his senses and rejoins with the group.

Now the group finally arrived at the path to the Well of Urd. It seems to be clear from the First Order's influence.

"We have to climb, but we have to be quiet, we don't want them to be alerted of our presence." Said Chief, everyone starts climbing using the rocks, they reached the entrance to the cave, but it seems a mining operation took place there, due to the cave's depth that increased. In the lower part of of the cave, the rift lies at the middle of it, sorrounded by many equipment and stormtroopers around it.

"This is our chance, move!" Said Chief while dropping into the cave, the group followed him and with ease, finished the stormtroopers, Chief took a device from a computer they had and brings it in front of the rift.

"What's that?" Asks Freya after looking at the device. Chief activates it and says. "Short story, it'll contain the anomaly completely, but as I see it, it'll take some time.

Chief activates the device, but the rift responds violently and opens itself, creating a portal from what was a rift.

"Why did it open?" Asks Kratos, nervous of what he's seeing. "It's resisting, but it won't be able to do it for much longer." Said Chief, the portal seemed to be almost contained inside the device, but suddenly, lightning strikes hit Chief, bringing him to the ground, stopping the process.

The group turns around and sees Starkiller alone, but with a necklace similar to the human Sunset's, he then charges up dark energy with his other hand and creates a shockwave sending everyone away, but Flash was the one absorded by the portal, which nows closes the gate but doesn't dissapear.

"Bastard, where did you send him?!" Asks an angered Chief, he stands up and takes his blades, while Kratos takes his axe and Freya her sword.

"Anywhere but here, if he runs with luck, he'd probably die from any mysterious threat that lies through that portal." Said Starkiller and raises his hand, chanelling dark magic from the necklace, the group tried to stop him but he freezes them with The Force, he gives an arrogant smile and says.

"This dark magic works just like the Dark Side, but it has more benefits, such as... mind control." Starkiller closes his fist and a group of enemies appeared, from Hel-Walkers,

Ogres.

And Nightmares. All of these creatures were being manipulated by dark magic.

"This is not going to end good, brothers." Said Mimir, hanging from Kratos's belt. "Not for them." Said Kratos, then the fight begins, Starkiller didn't involve in the fight, he let his minions do the hard work, he seems to be testing the result of controlling other creatures' mind.

Meanwhile, Flash was lying on the floor of was it appeared, an invisible platform, he then looks around and sees himself sorrounded by the cosmos.

"What is this place?" Asks Flash aloud, he's astonished by the place he's standing right now.

After a while, the image he sees as the background, starts approaching him at a alarming speed, before he realized, he was already inside the nebula, a blinding light is sorrounding Flash, he puts his hand to block it, but an unknown voice whispers him.

"Look... you have to look... don't resist it... embrace... the light." Said the voice, Flash couldn't do anything but to give a blind shot at it, he takes his hand off his face, he witnesses the light and this one consumes him as he saw many events, from the past, the present and the future, when he thought that his existence's gone, he suddenly appears back at the cave, he looks back and sees the portal closing and dissappearing from existence. Flash stands up and sees many corpses of the creautes lying around, there's blood everywhere. Flash unsheathes his sword and moves through the piles of corpses, he manages to leave the cave and sees even more corpses indicating a path to the Lake of Nine, Flash follows it and sees Chief, Kratos and Freya fighting Starkiller, all of them seem wounded and covered in blood, which explains what happened to the creatures back at the cave.

Kratos throws his axe with strength at Starkiller, but he stops it with the Force and pushes it back to Kratos, but he dodges it and throws his blades to the ground below Starkiller and thrusting himself, charging against Starkiller and hitting him with a shoulder bash. Starkiller is thrown away due to the attack, he recovers quickly though. Freya starts shooting multiple arrows but starkiller uses his necklace to create a shield, stopping the arrows from hitting him. Chief approaches from his blind spot, but he manages to counter Chief by using his lightsaber, he uses the Force to push Chief away and gather dark magic with his other hand and puts his palm on the ground, the dark energy flows through the ice, everyone's now inside the area of effect, the shockwave created pushes everyone upwards.

Kratos takes this chance to throw a spear at Starkiller, he misses but Kratos manages to detonate it, pushing Starkiller away, he recovers quickly and uses the Force to pull Freya towards him, she's lying beneath Starkiller and he creates a dark blade with his necklace's power, before he's able to land the blow, Flash appears from the corner of his eye, Starkiller stops the attack and tries to block it.

"(Flame Breathing, First Form: Unknowing Fire!)" Said Flash in his mind while swinging his blade, creating a fire trail and aiming to behead Starkiller, but he manages to block Flash's hit, although he's pushed away due to the attack's power. Flash helps Freya stand, Kratos and Chief stand up, sorrounding Starkiller. Chief sees Flash surprised and relieved, but he can't help but to ask.

"Flash?! How did...?" Flash then interrupts him, "Short story, the anomaly's gone for good, let's finish this already." Said Flash aloud, Starkiller stand up and says.

"So... the anomaly didn't kill you..." Starkiller then leaps at him with a overwhelming speed, raising his lightsaber and his dark sword. "But now you DIE!" Said Starkiller before swinging his blades downwards, fortunately, Flash was fast enough to pull out another technique, but he had to pull the trigger of his blade's scabbard, giving it more speed and strength.

"...Rising Scorching Sun!" Said Flash while unleashing an upward slash, creating a fire trail that takes an arc shape, ressembling that one of a sun. Unfortunately, the attack didn't land on Starkiller, but saved Flash from his attack, forcing Starkiller to leap backwards as to avoid any other surprise attack. Then, the group attack simultaneously, overwhelming Starkiller, who manages to block and counter the incoming attacks, he uses dual blades to keep up the fight, combining them with Force lightnings and pushes, he manages to even the battlefield.

Starkiller managed to push everyone away, he the uses the Force to shatter the ice beneath them, and creates many icicles from that move, he then lifts them with the Force and throws them at the group at a high speed. Freya stands behind Kratos, who pulls out his shield and blocks the icicles, Flash stands behindChief, who does multiple slashes in a large area with his blades to break the icicles mid way, but both their efforts aren't enough. Flash then takes the initiative, charges forward and with his sword technique, he uses a defensive skill to push towards Starkiller.

"Flame Breathing technique, Fourth Form: Blooming Flame Ondulation!" Said Flash while moving forward, spinning his blade in circular motion at rapid speeds, deflecting and breaking the icicles, this creates an opportunity to take Starkiller down, the group charges along with Flash, who starts clashing blades with Starkiller.

Their sword skill seems to be at the same level, but as their blades clashed, Starkiller punches Flash, "Ouch! You son of a.... that's fighting dirty." Said Flash drawing his gun and shooting multiple energy shots, Freya joins him, shooting multiple arrows, forcing Starkiller to fall back while blocking their attacks. Kratos and Chief approach him, the use of multiple weapons makes it almost impossible for Starkiller to block all of the attacks, then he decides to push everyone away with a Force repulse, he then manages to use the teleportation device just as the human Sunset did, escaping from the group.

"Slippery bastard." Said an angered Freya, after all they've fought, he managed to get away. "The rift was closed and they didn't manage to use it, that's what matters." Replied Kratos while sheathing his weapons, Chief approaches them and says. "At least Flash managed to close the rift, but how?" Said Chief intrigued by how exactly did Flash manage to get out of the portal. The group looks at Flash also with the same question in mind.

"Ok, so... when I cross the portal, I appeared at a... cosmic... plain. There was a nebula thousands of miles away, but after a bit, the nebula approached me at a extremely high speed and, when I was inside the nebula a blinding light came from the center of it, and it told me to look a it, and I did. But all I could see were visions multiple events from the past, things that were happening and weird visions of things that'll happen." Said Flash, remebering what happened and also confused about what he saw in those visions.

"How do you know that?" Asks Chief, he's surprised of what Flash's saying, he can't believe it, so he has to make sure what Flash's saying is true.

"Well... I saw the Infinity arriving at an enormous ring, I know is from the past because you told me the last time you went there was years ago. But I also heard sounds of a battle taking place there." Said Flash, Chief hears that and adds. "It was Zeta Halo and, you're right, the last time I went there was years ago, a year later we had our first interaction with people from another universe, anyway... what else did you see?" Said Chief, Flash's vision is right, for the moment.

"I saw my mother doing some paperwork at her office, and I know it's from today because she was wearing the same clothes with which she left home today. And I heard a strange melody playing in the background." Said Flash, Chief tries to understand. "(What's the relation between Zeta Halo and Flash's Mother?" But no matter how much times he thinks of it, there's no sense.

"Hmmm.... ok... what else did you see there?" Asks Chief, "(we have a vision from the past, one from the present and the remaining one has to be from the future.)" That's Chief's conclusion.

"I saw... a corpse... it was someone dead... covered in blood, with... multiple wounds... but I couldn't recognize the body. And I heard...people... mourning... crying that person's death in the background." Said Flash, he seems confused for what he saw, why would these visions showed that to him?

"We have to investigate the reason behind these visions." Chief then turns at Kratos and Freya, and says. "Kratos, Freya, Mimir, we have to leave, but have this..." Chief then lends them a device. "Whenever you need me, press the button and that device will let me know." Chief then extends his arm to greet Kratos, he replies the gesture by grabbing Chief's arm

"Thanks John, also, if you ever need it, we'll be glad to help you." Replies Kratos, then, Chief uses the portal device to create a gate back to the CHS world, once the portal opens, both cross the portal, arriving at the same spot where they left.

"What now?" Asks Flash, he seems worried and confused at the same time. "We have to split up, I'll go to the Infinity and report this to Captain Lasky, although there's a high chance we leave to Zeta Halo, that vision of yours wasn't a mere coincidence, I'm sure of it. You on the other hand, go and check on your mother, if there's a problem, please let me know." Said Chief, while preparing another portal to the Infinity, Chief leaves without even saying goodbye, he seemed worried though. Flash then starts heading home.

Once there, Flash changes his clothes quickly, and hides his equipment, so no one suspects of the situation, but then the beep of a car can be heard outside of the house, it's his mother. Flash then panicks and tries to clean his scratches and wound from the battle with Starkiller, but they just won't go off.

It's too late, the main door opens and an adult woman carrying a bag comes in, she's wearing a brown coat with blue jeans, her long blue hair stands out, no wonder where Flash's hair color came from. The woman closes the door behind her and puts her keys on a table next to her. "Flash, I'm home!" Said the woman with a happy voice.

"Ok mom! Give me... a... second... please!" Replied Flash, he's struggling to take off a wound from the icicles, but his mother wasn't aware of that, so she is confused by her son's voice. "Sweetie, is everything alright?" Asks his mother, Flash then gives up and comes out from the bathroom upstairs, he goes downstairs, his mother sees the wound and quickly says. "Flash!" The woman approaches his son and checks him. "It's no big deal mom, how was job today?" Asks Flash, trying to avoid the topic of his wound.

"Don't try to change the conversation topic, Flash. What caused you this wound, let me guess. You got wounded in one of John's high risky missions, right? He's not gonna escape this one, no sir!" Said Flash's mom, she seems to be a bit angry, although she knows is not such big of a deal.

"Mom, I'll explain you later, but please tell me, are you ok? Nothing bad happened while I was gone?" Asks Flash worried, his mother sees that and with an affectionate smile she says. "I'm fine honey, why wouldn't I? Actually, what stung you that made you this paranoic?" Flash exhales with relief, looks at his mother's eyes and says. "Chief told me to check on you, he had a bad feeling about something."

"Haha, Flash, it's John who we're talking about, whatever that problem is, he'd solve it even before we realize the was a problem in the first place." Replied his mother, she's confident of Chief's capabilities, after all, she hasn't found a single reason to not completely trust him.

"Yeah, you're right, so... what about we sit on the couch and we have a chat? There are a few... things that I can't handle completely, so I would appreciate if you can give me your advice." Flash said, and then, both go to the living room and start talking about everyday stuff.

Meanwhile, at the First Order Star Destroyer.

Kylo Ren stands at the bridge, he seems to be thinking of something, then, the human Sunset comes in and asks him.

"Hey Kylo! What happened?" Asks the human Sunset, she's wearing a few bandages due to her wound of the fight she had with her counterpart, Kylo then turns around and says.

"Starkiller returned from his mission, which was... unsuccesful, but we can discuss that later, for now, there's one thing I've been thinking." Said Kylo, he seems more serious than usual.

"What is it? Did you find something important?" Asks the human Sunset with a jaded voice, she feels frustrated for not being able to finish her counterpart when she had the chance.

"Is about what you're feeling..." Said Kylo, Sunset changes her expression to doubt, it appears Kylo knows what's troubling Sunset, he then continues. "I can feel it, that... frustration you emanate, you couldn't finish your counterpart but... why?" Asks Kylo, Sunset replies with a slightly angered voice.

"I don't know! I had the upper hand, but then I saw her...I saw... myself? *tch* I can't understand it, it was a strange feeling, like... like I was stopping myself from doing it. She apologized but... it felt so... real... I felt pity of her and then... I couldn't kill her."

"I see..." Said Kylo with a reflective voice. "...Then it's time to do this." Kylo then ignites his lightsaber, Sunset steps back, she doesn't know what Kylo's up to, so she asks.

"Time, for what exactly?" Kylo then replies, "Time for you to reborn. Please, if you can step a bit closer, I promise it won't hurt you." Sunset accepts but moves forward cautiously to prevent any possible outcome. She's standing right in fronf of Kylo Ren, who now raises his light saber and says.

"The person once was Sunset Shimmer, has died by the flames of her rage, and now from her ashes, led by the determination to seek retribution, and the hate that'll fuel her crusade..." Said Kylo, who knows leans the blade on Sunset's shoulders without touching them, raises his blade again and says.

"Rises, Eclipsed Sunlight..." Kylo turns off his lightsaber and puts his hand on Sunset's shoulder, the dark magic from his necklace flows through her and changes the skull shape of her back to Sunset's sun but the yellow sections are replaced with a dark purple color, and the center is covered by darkness, creating an eclipse. "...Head of the Ren Knights, they'll now serve you to achieve the revenge you innerly desire, and so will I, together... we're going to change the tides of fate at our favor."

Sunlight seems surprised, she wasn't expecting this, but thanks to Kylo and the dark magic, she now has the chance to change her fate, something she could only imagine time ago, now, embracing the power of dark magic, she puts an evil smile on her face. "Eclipsed Sunlight, huh? Sounds good... now tell me, Kylo. Which is our next move?" Asks Eclipsed Sunlight.

With her new identity accepted, Ecplised Sunlight will use any tool at her disposition to achieve her vengeance. A new enemy has been born, and it's a threat at the level of Kylo Ren and Starkiller, what can be possibly done to redeem someone twisted this much by dark magic? As the evil team approaches their new destination...

...An ancient evil lies there, awaiting to be awakened.

Hi everyone! I know this chapter wasn't focused on the mane 7, but is part of the main narrative anyway, so I had to include it. I've also been playing with some tools to add better effects to the story, in order to make it more dynamic for you. Hope you like what I did in this chapter.
Also, I have to say this, but I'm very grateful if you've arrived to this point, seeing people that's genuinely interested in this story encourages me to write the chapters and publish them even sooner than I have planned to.

Anyway, again, thank you and I hope to see you all next chapter.

PD: Next chapter is not going to be chapter 8, is going to be 7.5 because as how I see it, my plans for the next chapter are more a direct continuation of this chapter, rather than a whole new one.
