OP – Keys of Revelations [Kingdom Hearts Style] by Infinite Rivals
It was a bright yet cool autumn day. Many people were doing their daily business, many houses were had Halloween decorations and jack-o-lanterns, and many stores were lined up with Halloween candy, decorations, and costumes.
In the locker rooms of Canterlot High, Dustin was conversing with his friends.
"Oooh, I can't believe it's already October!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed with excitement. "I'm so gonna get a load of candy this year!"
"A little too old for trick-or treating, aren't you?" Aria asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Oh, come now, Aria. Don't go ruin her fun." Adagio said with a smirk.
"You're never too old for free candy!" Pinkie exclaimed, bouncing with sheer enthusiasm.
"And not to mention the costumes!" Rarity chimed in, just as enthusiastic as Pinkie. "Oh, I have so many ideas!"
"And not to mention the Halloween Ball in just a few weeks." Dustin replied, a smirk on his face. "I'm definitely gonna be cutting a rug out on the dance floor!"
"And I think I know the perfect way to start of this spooky season." Sunset Shimmer stated with a smirk. "How about this weekend we have a scary movie night? You guys up for it?"
"You kidding?" Aria asked. "Hell yeah I am!"
"As long as it's not too gory or visceral, I'll join." Fluttershy chimed in.
"I've got some killer classics I can bring over." Salazar suggested. "Mostly slasher, sci-fi, and psychological horror genres."
"I'm afraid I can't attend guys." Dustin said with a soft smile. "Gonna be taking Gloriosa on a date."
"Oooooh, a date." Pinkie Pie exclaimed with a big grin. "Lucky dog."
"How sweet, darling." Rarity said with a beaming smile. "Any plans?"
"Oh yeah. Gonna be taking her for a dinner date at this new place in town called The Tasty Treat." Dustin replied with a hint of pride.
"The Tasty Treat?" Adagio repeated with a smile. "I hear the place opened a few days ago. And the place actually has some really good reviews."
"Oh, I know." Dustin replied. "And I've saved up quite a bit from my Jon at the mall, so I should get it covered."
"Wait! You have a job?" Sonata asked with surprise. "For realizes? How come I didn't know that?"
"I told you like last week." Dustin replied with a perplexed look. "Remember I work at the local game store called Gamer's Lounge?"
"Oh." Sonata exclaimed, now remembering. "Right."
"Anyhow, anybody have any costumes ideas?" Applejack asked.
"I know I do." Rarity replied with pride. "I'm rocking this year as Elvira."
"Oooh, classy." Adagio replied with a smirk. "I know I can kill it as Vanessa from The Little Mermaid."
"The human guise Ursula takes?" Sunset asked. "I do actually see you as her."
"What can I say?" Adagio retorted with a proud smile and a flick of her hair. "I'm just as hot as she is."
"What about you, Sal?" Pixel asked Salazar. "Any ideas?"
"I've never been a suckered for Halloween, if I'm being honest." Salazar replied with a shrug. "But I'll see what I can come up with."
As the group were chatting, they had no idea that they were being observed. But by who?
Within a dark area, an orb displaying footage of Dustin and his friends was seen, acting as the only source of illumination. Observing them were several entities of varying appearances.
The first figure resembles an anthropomorphic mirror with three legs, two three-digit arms, four red-colored eyes and two protrusions resembling horns.
The second resembles a black, indigo, and raspberry colored griffin with forelegs resembling bird legs while the hind feet resembling those of lion, a long beak, tail feathers, and eyes with black sclera and yellow irises.
The third figure resembles a humanoid plant with the lower half composed of a purple blooming flower with her feet exposed. Her hair, arms, and parts of her dress are composed of leaves. She has pink and blue colored petals on her shoulders, behind her head, her mid back, and hanging from her dress like coat tails. Her head is composed of purple petals, her eyes are magenta in color with pink splotches beneath them, and she has two violet Berries making up her breasts.
The fourth figure resembles red colored muscular humanoid resembling an oni from Japanese folklore. Most of his body appears to be composed of red colored scales while he has spiked up yellow that reaches a few inches past his rear and has yellow patches of hair on his hands and feet. He has bird-like skulls adorned around his collar, shins, and waist. His lower half is covered by a loincloth and has flames emerging from his forearms. He has two pronged horns on top of his head, sharp teeth, and eyes that have black sclera and red irises with slanted pupils.
The fifth figure a large whale-like creature that is brown with white flecks and a lighter brown underbelly. He has six fins, a wide mouth filled with sharp teeth and having five slits on both corners, two fin-like protrusions on his jowls, a dorsal fin, and a white fog appears to be visible on various parts of his body. His eyes have black sclera and blue irises.
The sixth figure resembles a humanoid with two sides of his body being entirely different. The right side of his body had tannish color and is a somewhat skeletal in appearance, even appearing to be composed of bony plating, on his right shoulder is the top part of what appears to be an animal's skulls, and the right side of his face has some tufts of dark hair with a purple-colored eye. The right side, however, appears to be composed of purple-colored muscles and tendons with a milky right eye and a right arm that appears be a large jawbone.
The final figure resembles a large humanoid resembling a volcano. His body is composed of a tannish rocky material with various orange lines visible. He had four smaller volcanoes on his back, two that make up his shoulders and his hands. Whenever he is sleeping, he does so in a meditation posture. He normally has his eyes closed, but whenever he is awake, his eyes are actually hollow and glow bright orange due to the core in his body.
“So, these are the ones?” A feminine voice spoke from the mirror, the mirror's surface emitting a raspberry glow as a feminine figure appeared. She had dark wavy hair reaching down her mid back, wearing short-sleeve crop top and a pair of jeans. “To be honest, not was I was expecting.” The woman in the mirror spoke with a chortle and a smirk.
“One should not judge be appearances. Even I know that.” The gryphon spoke in a raspy voice with an English accent. “Let’s not forget what they were able to achieve back at that encampment.”
“Why are we even bothering with these insects?” The oni spoke in a deep gruff voice, clearly not interested in the conversation at hand. “I’ve got better things to do than waste my time watching a bunch of runts!”
“Have you not seen what these children can accomplish?” The gryphon asked with his attention to the orb. “Not only that, but the boy has also obtained the seven Digitalismans! And his feminine companions bear a unique source of power that even I have never seen.”
“Hmm… the boy could be useful to us.” The plant woman said, eyeing Dustin’ projection in the orb. “With the right “training”, he could be a notable ally.”
“Oh please!” The woman in the mirror retorted with a roll of her eyes. “You just want another boy toy to play with!”
“Someone’s jealous.” The half-skinned man said with a smirk.
“This coming from the embodiment of envy!” The whale-like creature spoke with a look of annoyance.
“Shut up already!” The oni declared, his temper fading. “I swear, only you guys know how to rile me up!”
“But back to the subject at hand, these kids have faced threats from Cyberspace before.” The woman in the mirror said, looking to the footage of Dustin and company, a wicked smile forming on her face. “But I wander how well they fare in Cyberspace.”
“I see what your planning, milady.” The gryphon said with a sly grin. “A good way to test their skills, if I do say so myself.”
“Indeed.” The woman in the mirror replied with a chuckle. “Plus, it will be amusing to see how far they come, only to have their hopes and dreams crushed in front of their eyes. All in favor?” The gryphon, oni, plant woman, half-skinned man, and whale collectively said “aye” in response. The only one that didn’t was the humanoid volcano.
“Is he asleep?” The plant woman asked.
“He is the embodiment of sloth.” The half-skinned man simply replied with a shrug. “What did you expect?”
“Well, since he’s too busy napping, lets extend an invitation to our dominion.” The woman in the mirror asked her fellow embodiments of sin. “Shall we?”
In the school library, Dustin was typing on the keyboard of one of the computers. Twilight was at the bookshelf as she found a book she needed.
"I had a feeling they'd have a book about myths and folklore." Twilight said, with a smile.
As Dustin continued to type, the computer monitor began to flicker.
"Oh great!" Dustin groaned; Twilight looked to the computer with a surprised look.
"Oh boy." Twilight responded with slight concern. "Looks like this one might be out of date..."
Suddenly, the computer screen then showed a deep rec colored unicursal hexagram with various symbols on it and a red colored background that was heavily glitchy.
Spike popped up from under the computer desk and saw the computer monitor.
"What the...?" Twilight asked in shock as the computer monitor began to spark.
"Oh crap!" Dustin muttered. "Spike, go get Allister! Now!"
Spike nodded as he ran out of the library. And suddenly, a red and black portal appeared from the screen, trying to suck the two in.
Luckily, the others were in the library as well and were surprised to see this.
"Dustin! Twilight!" Sunset called out as she and the others ran to their two friends, buy Dustin was ultimately sucked into the portal.
"Dustin!" Twikight called in dismay!
"What was that?!" Adagio asked out in shock.
Mrs. Cheerily was there too and was shocked upon seeing this.
"Oh dear!" Cheerily muttered in concern before she reached for the nearby telephone. "I better contact Celestia and Luna!"
Author's Note
Well, I wonder what adventure could await our heroes this time. Only one way to fine out, I suppose.

Dustin groaned as he fluttered his eyes open, rubbing his head as he slowly got up.
"Ooooh.... my head..." Dustin groaned out as he got up. He then looks around, seeing that he was what looked like a forest.
And a rather creepy looking on at that. The trees were bent and twisted in unnatural positions and were black in color like they were charred and burnt. They even had a somewhat human-like look, each had holes that mirrored anguished faces, the branches they had resembled twisted and mangled up arms, the there was some red sap seeping from them that looked like blood.
There was a fog that fevered the area, making it almost impossible to see past his nose. There were also the sounds of eerie sounds that sounded like pained moaning, wicked cackling, and even ghastly groans.
"Wh-Whoa... OK, this is awfully creepy." Dustin muttered, feeling unsettled by the environment that surround ground. "Where am I?" Dustin looks around, unsure where he was and if there was a way out of here.
Meanwhile, the seven figured were observing Dustin through the orb.
"Hmm. It seems only the red-haired boy only arrived." The griffin said with a puzzled look. "This I didn't expect."
"Indeed." The plant woman said, a wicked smile visible. "But when you think of it, this should be more fun."
"What do you mean?" The oni asked with a snarl.
"Think about it. We have the bearer of the Digitrix in our dominion. Just think of what we can accomplish if we have him in our ranks?" The plant woman said, a wicked chuckle exiting her. "Sounds easy timing, doe it not?"
"You just want another plaything!" The half-skinned man scoffed with an unamused look. "I swear woman, you're more insatiable then Monstro!"
"And I seriously doubt he would reason with you." The griffin said. "What if he isn't willing to comply?"
"I have my ways." The plant woman replied with a smirk. "A bit of persuasion might be in order."
"Oh, bleh!" Monstro gagged in disgust. "Don't bring up your salacious crap inf root of me! I just ate!"
"Desire is not just about sex, you dimwitted guppy!" The plant woman replied with a roll of her eyes. "Lust is desire in general. Wanting something. It's similar to gluttony and greed in a way."
"Maybe we should let the boss decide!" The oni said before looking to the mirror woman. "What do you think?"
The woman in the mirror rubbed her chin, mulling over the idea of having Dustin siding with her and her subordinates. Such an idea proved to be quite tempting.
"Very well then, do what you wish." The woman in the mirror woman said. "But if he is unwilling to comply, then do what you must to take him down."
"As you wish." The plant woman said with a bow before vanishing in a spiral of flower petals.
"Shall we commence with the betting?" The griffin said as he projected a holographic screen with a score board. "Two-to-one odds for the boy. Nine to one for boy. The minimum bet is 100 of your Cryptocurrency of choice!"
"I'll put 300,000 Ethereum on the kid." The oni said with a confident smirk.
"I'll put 100,000 Bitcoins on Succubelle!" Another stated.
"Make that 500,000 for me!" The whale-like monster said with a chuckle.
"Hey sleepy head! You game?" The oni said to the volcano man.
"Mmmm.... 10,000,000... Ethereum... on the kid." The slumbering volcano said in-between snores.
"Daring, aren't we?" The griffin said with a smirk, chuckling a bit. "I'm going to be cashing in quite a hefty sum!"
Back with Dustin, he was traversing through the thick forest. He clearly had no idea where he was going, and the thick fog certainly was not helping things.
"Damn it!" Dustin cursed under his breath. "Is there any way out of here?"
Then suddenly, Dustin heard what sounded like singing. He places a hand to his ear, and he could tell that it was singing.
"The Hell?" Dustin asked with a perplexed look before gasping in realization. "Wait! Maybe whoever is singing knows a way out of here!"
Without any hesitation, Dustin followed the sound of the singing. The further he got, the louder the singing got. Which means he was getting close.
"Hello? Is somebody there?" Dustin called out as he walked through the forest. "Hello?"
After some walking, Dustin had stopped at an archway as he to the source of the singing, and silence had filled the air shortly afterwards.
"Hello?" Dustin called out, but no response. "I don't mean to intrude, but I...."
When Dustin entered, he was floored to see what looked like a massive courtyard garden that looked like it was ruined for centuries and was slowly being overcome by nature. In the center was a pavilion that was nearly overran by ivy and other plants. Behind the pavilion was a large pond that was fed by a waterfall, and behind said waterfall was a cave where the water was being drained into.
In front of the pavilion was a cobblestone path with small bushes decorating the sides. Each bush had flowers that were purple with magenta streaks and petals shaped like hearts. Dustin looks to his right to see a large flowerbed that housed flowers of various varieties.
"Man! Major props to the gardener!" Dustin said as he approached the flower bed. These flowers were unlike any he had ever seen before. Some were bright red with petals shaped like puckered up lips, some were deep violet with six petals positioned to look like a hexagram, some were even bright white in color with splotches that looked like the faces of in the middle.
Dustin turns around, seeing that on the other side of the garden was small pond surrounded by podiums. In each podium was a broken and withered bust with cracks forming on them, their heads were broken off either particularly or completely, and some were covered in light moss patches. The podiums that stood upon were lightly cracked and had ivy goring on them.
Dustin walks to the pond, a sense of dread filling him. When he got close enough, he sees strange white tadpole like creatures with three black splotches on their heads that mirrored the faces of a cartoon ghost.
"I see you like my handiwork, yes?" A feminine voice spoke, making Dustin jump in surprise.
"H-Hello?" Dustin asked, looming around as his heart racing and his breathing becoming hitched. "S-Somebody there?"
"Aww, what's the matter little one?" The feminine voice said. "Are you lost?"
"W-Well y-y-yes..." Dustin replied, stuttering with unease before swallowing a lump in his throat. "I'm just looking for a way out of here."
"Oh? Now why would you want to leave this place?" came the same female voice from before that was coming from behind him. And before Dustin could turn around, he suddenly felt a pair of hands on his shoulders. "Why not stick around for a bit?" she whispered in his ear.
Nervous, and a bit curious, Dustin slowly looks behind to see the plant woman. His eyes widened in shock as his face went a bit red upon seeing her.
To be continued...

OP – Keys of Revelations [Kingdom Hearts Style] by Infinite Rivals
In Principle Celestia's office, our remaining young heroes were telling Celestia, Luna, and Allister about what ha occurred in the library.
"Oh boy." Allister uttered in concern. "It's not too often a rift from Cyberspace occurs in the physical world."
"Are you certain that this was the case?" Luna asked with a puzzled look. "It could have been a rogue case of magic."
"Trust me, Luna. I've had experience with this sort of stuff before." Allister replied. "I've been an Enforcer for years now. I've been to Cyberspace many times in my life."
"Enforcers?" Sunset asked with confusion and interest.
"A law enforcement group tasked with ensuring order between both the real world and Cyberspace." Allister replied. "But anyhow, did anything occur before that rift appeared? Like glitching?"
"Actually, I recall seeing a red screen that was heavily glitched." Twilight said, scratching her chin as she recalled what she had seen moments prior before the rift appeared. "Along with a strange symbol located in the center."
"A symbol?" Celestia asked with interest. "Can you describe it?"
"It was deep red and looked like a unicursal hexagram." Twikight explained. "Along with seven additional symbols; six on each point and a single one in the center. Each one had a unique shape and color scheme."
When Allister heard that, his face went extremely pale. "Wait! What?!" Allister approached Twilight, paling his hands on her shoulder and looking her dead in the eye. "Are you certain that's what you saw?!"
"Y-Yes?" Twilight replied with skepticism. "Why?"
Allister said nothing, his eyes wide in fear. "No... not them!" Allister muttered, releasing Twilight while the others look to him. "Anyone but them!"
"Allister?" Rarity asked with unease. "Are you alright?"
Allister said nothing, taking a deep breath before collecting his thoughts. "This is serious! Very serious!"
"What?" Adagio asked. "What exactly are we dealing with here?"
"Yeah, the way you reacted sounded like it was something really big!" Applejack said, fearing something big was going down.
With a deep breath, Allister reached into his shirt before pulling out a strange looking laptop.
Allister cracks the laptop open and begins typing furiously on the keyboard while the others watched.
"That insignia Twikight saw belongs to possibly one of the most feared and reviled groups to ever exist in Cyberspace." Allister said as he still typed on the keyboard. "A group of seven entities that only a select few have squared off against and lived to tell the tale!"
"Are they really that bad?" Flutterhsy asked, a cold shivering running down her spine.
"I already don't like where this is heading!" Sunset said as she began to sorry for Dustin's sake, wherever he was.
"So, you're saying he's in Cyberspace?" Celestia asked.
"Yes. But where specifically is most concerning." Allister replied. After he finished typing, he turns the computer to show his young friends, the screen showed the image of what looked like a portal floating in the digital void.
On the portal was what looked to be a seal with a demonic head resembled an upside-down pentagon.
"Is... I that where he is?" Spike asked with a hint of fear. "What even is that?"
"That is Goetia! Think of it as Cyberspace's equivalent of Hell." Allister elaborated, making the others go pale.
"H-Hell?!" Sonata asked with fear in her voice. "As in the place where those who've done bad things in life go to?!"
"Indeed so!" Allister explained. "It's one of the most feared Sites in all of Cyberspace. Well, I say Site... it's more like a rift, if you will."
"You mean like a pocket dimension?" Twilight asked.
"If you want to put it that way, yes." Allister replied with a nod. "Any of you familiar with the seven deadly sins?"
"Ooh! That's one of my favorite anime!" Pinkie Pie said, making the others faceplate at that remark.
"Not what I meant, Pinkie." Allister said. "I mean the seven deadly sins in religious scripture."
"Yeah. We know." Sunset acknowledged. "I take it this has something to with this... Goetia was it?"
"Indeed so." Allister replied. "Goetia is divides in to seven layers. Each one representing the seven deadly sins."
"Seven sins..." Twikight pondered before gasping in realization. "Maybe that's what the seven symbols on the insignia I saw were for!"
"Yes. Not only do they represent the seven sins, but they also represent the seven embodiments of said sins." Allister said, gaining a serious look. "Before I go any further, what I'm about to tell you next is something that remains between us!"
The other said nothing, but nodded to show that he has their word.
Dustin was still speechless upon seeing this floral woman.
"What's the matter, hon?" The plant woman asked playfully with a smirk and a chuckle. "Cat got your tongue?"
"Uh...." Dustin stammered, his mouth agape as his face went flushed.
"Well? Do you have a name?" The plant woman asked, earning a nod of his head from a befuddled Dustin. "Are you going to tell me what it is?" Again, Dustin silently nods. "Well, mine's Succubelle."
'Come on, dude! Stop gawking like an idiot and say something! ' Dustin shook his head rapidly, snapping himself out of his stupor before finally using his words. "Uh... my name's Dustin. Dustin Miller."
"Dustin Miller, hm?" Succubelle asked with a rather sultry voice. "Strange name, but simply adorable."
Dustin blushed again from that comment. "Uh... so-uh.... I was wondering if y-you..." uh..." Dustin stammered again. 'Come in, moron! Use your damn words! '
"Aw, you seem tense." Succubelle said, placing a hand at the top of his head. "Perhaps a massage might help."
"Uh... tempting offer, but I need to find a way home." Dustin replied. "Perhaps you know a way out."
"But you must have walked a good mile to find my garden." Succubelle said, placing a hand under his chin. "Perhaps a bit of a breather before you continue on your way."
"Again, thank you but..." Before Dustin could even finish, Succubel grabbed him by the hand and lead him to the pavilion. As the two walked, he never kept his eyes off of her.
'Man, gotta admit she's got looks. ' Dustin thought to himself before blushing madly. 'Wait! The Hell am I saying?! You're already in a relationship jackass! '
The two then made it to the pavilion, and Succubelle took a seat on a bench while Dustin stood where he was.
"Care to join me?" Succubelle asked, petting the spot on the bench beside her. "I won't bite."
With a shrug, Dustin took a seat next to Succubelle, but he avoided eye contact with her.
Dustin looks around the place, still admiring the garden. "Nice place you have here." Dustin said.
"You like it?" Succubelle asked with a smirk. "It's where I go to have some alone time. The atmosphere here is quite peaceful."
"Sure, I guess." Dustin replied while still avoiding eye contact with Succubelle."so... where am I exactly."
"My place, of course." Succubelle said, being cryptic. "But why don't you tell me a little about yourself? It's not too often a human ends up in Cyberspace."
"Cyberapace?!" Dustin asked in disbelief. "Shit! The others must be worried sick!"
As Dustin panicked, Succubelle leaned to him. "Try to relax." She whispered into Dustin’s right ear while placing her hands on his shoulders and began to rub them.
Dustin stiffened up at first, but shortly after he began to relax. As she continued her massaging, he could feel himself loosening up, which Succubelle could feel too, making her smirk deviously.
"See? Doesn't that feel so much better?" she whispered in his ear.
Dustin nodded in reply, continuing to face away from Succubelle. 'Whoa... no lying at all, she's good with her hands. '
Succubelle could sense Dustin was falling under her spell, making her smile more.
"Relax. Just lean back and forget all your worries." she whispered while his body started to relax.
"Forget my worries..." Dustin replied as his eyes glazed over.
Succubelle chuckled lightly as she was slowly gaining control over him. 'This is too easy! ' Succubelle thought to herself, continuing to massage and manipulate Dustin.
Back at CHS
"Now the seven rulers of Goetia are known as the Seven Vice Presidents!" Allister explained. "They are seven unique digital life forms that embody the seven sins."
After a bit more typing, Allister turned the computer to the others, showing the image of the volcano. "Starting with the bottom of the barrel, Vesuvia. He represents the sin of sloth."
"Why do I get the feeling that's he's slot tough than he looks?" asked Twilight.
"Because he is." Allister replied. "Even when he's catching zs, he quite formidable. Get near him and you'll feel overwhelmed with fatigue and exhaustion. But it's when he's awake is when crap really starts hitting the fan!"
"My word!" Rarity gasped. "And he's the lowest ranked?!"
"Yes. He's also the nuclear option of the group." Allister replied as the computer screen thawed the half-skinned man. "Next up is the representation of envy, Derma."
"Yikes!" Adagio winced. "That guy seriously needs a skin graft!"
"He's the Shapeshifter of the group." Allister elaborated. "He can assume the form of just about anybody or anything. Whether it be humans or animals."
"Oh... my!" Flutterhsy muttered, shivering in terror.
"He uses his shapeshifting capability as a way to take down enemies." Allister explained. "In addition to shapeshifting, he can also copy the abilities of others. And he's only the second lowest of the totem pole!"
The computer screen then switched to show the image if the whale-like monster.
"Embodying the sin of gluttony is Monstro." Allister said, the others going wide-eyed upon seeing the beastly cesarean.
"With a name like, Monstro, I'll bet he's a big one!" Salazar said.
"The second biggest actually. The biggest of the bunch is Vesuvia." Allister replied with a nod. "Anyhow, Monstro is not exactly the sharpest tool in the shed, but he's still formidable. As the embodiment of gluttony, this monster mackerel can eat just about anything."
"Does that include his enemies?" Luna asked.
"Unfortunately, yes." Allister replied with a nod. "Matter of fact, her prefers to eat his enemies as because he simply "wants to savor the sweet taste of victory" as he puts it." The computer screen then showed the image of the red oni. "Next up is Doji, the embodiment of wrath."
"Yikes!" Rainbow Dash muttered to herself in terror upon seeing Doji's image while Flutterhsyhid behind her. "Talk about sinfully ugly!"
"Indeed, Rainbow." Allister nodded in agreement. "Doji is the muscle of the group. And as a manifestation of wrath, he is not somebody you want to agitate. He's a ticking time bomb on a dangerously short fuse, and once he goes off, he's as uncontrollable as a bull chasing a matador!"
"Wow! And I thought Aria was a hothead!" Sonata muttered, earning a glare from the twin-tailed girl.
"Hey!" Aria retorted in offense.
"You know she'd right Aria." Adagio replied. "At least not as extreme as this Doji figure."
"Moving on..." The computer screen then switched to the familiar plant woman that was Succubelle. "Next up is the bronze medalist, Succubelle."
"Unless I miss my guess, she represents lust." Sunset guessed, making Allister nod in response.
"Lust? As in... doing the dirty?!" Rarity gasped in horror. "That witch better not defile him, or so help me..."
"Lust isn't just sexual pleasure, Rarity." Allister elaborated. "While lust is commonly associated with sex, it's actuallymore than that. It's desire in general."
"So, it's basically wantin' somethin'?" Applejack guessed. "Like when somebody wants a new car?"
"Yes, that's one good example." Allister replied. "It's similar to greed and gluttony in a sense. Though Succubelle is no symbol of chastity, I'm afraid."
"I don't think I want to know her... preferences." Adagio muttered with a shiver as thoughts entered her head. Thoughts that she wished she didn't have.
"She mostly uses her allure and feminine charms as a way to distract her enemies or to get what she wants." Allister elaborated. "Ahem... anyhow, let's move on to the second in command." The computer screen then showed the image of the griffin. "That being Corvoss, the representation of greed."
"That's the second in command?" Pixel asked with a perplexed look. "He doesn't seem so tough."
"While he may not be the brownies compared to Doji, he is however the most cunning and intelligent of the group." Allister elaborated. "He doesn't earn the title "Greedy Scholar" for nothing. He makes both Sunset and Twilight look simple-minded by comparison." Allister's eyes widened suddenly brfore looking to both Sunset and Twilight. "Uh... no offense girls."
"None taken." Sunset replied with a roll of her eyes while Twilight looked away with an abashed look on her face.
"Uh... ahem! Anyhow. He's the strategist of the group." Allister continued his explanation. "But even he is nothing compared to the head honcho." The computer screen then switched to the final image, one depicting the mirror woman. "That being Narcissa, the embodiment of pride."
"With a name like that, she must be nothing short of egotistical." Rarity said.
"You don't know the half of it." Allister replied. "As the leader of the seven, she's the most powerful of them all. Only a select few who dealt with her have ever survived."
The others said nothing upon hearing that, truly shocked upon that reveal.
Back with Dustin, he was still being massaged by Succubelle, the floral woman smiling as she could tell Dustin was slowly succumbing even further.
"So? Why don't you tell me about yourself?" Succubelle asked with a smirk on her face.
"Well..." Dustin replied, "I'm a student at Canterlot High for starters."
"You have any friends there?" Succubelle urged, trying to get more info out of him.
"Yeah." Dustin nodded. "Seven female friends called Mane 7. Along with the Dazzlings; Adagio Dazzle, Sonata Dusk, and Aria Blaze."
"Strange names, but I'm not one to judge." Succubelle reolied before leaning to his ear. "Is there anything special about them?" Succubelle whispered in his hear. "Something... extraordinary?"
"Well... uh..." Dustin muttered, and Succubelle could tell that he was slipping from her control.
Succubelle however ceased her massage before wrapping her arms around his waist and leaning closer to him, rubbing her chest against his back.
"Go on~." Succubelle said, sensing that he was now back into her grasp.
"They each possess magic." Dustin said, his voice becoming a bit more monotone.
"I also have another friend, Pixel Prada, who is actually an android."
"I see." Succubelle whispered into his ear with a wicked grin. "And what of thar boy? The one closest to the bespectacled girl."
"Salazar." Dustin replied. "I don't know how, but he can change parts of bis body into weapons."
"Interesting." Succubelle said with a purr, her eyes glowing a feint violet glow. "But that's enough about them, tell me more about you. Do you have any... special talents of your own?"
"Uh.... well... I do.." Dustin said, his attention turning towards the Digitrix. "I have the Digitrix."
Succubelle looks to the watch-like device, smirking wickedly.
"Oh, I've heard stories about a hero in the human world that can shapeshift in various life forms from Cyberspace." Succubelle said, looking back to Dustin. "Glad to know that I have that person in my company."
Succubele leaned into his ear again, the violet glow in her eyes glowing a bit more intensely.
"Tell me, why do you resort to heroics?" Succubelle asked.
"Huh?" Dustin asked, looming to Succubelle while he was still under her influence.
"Listen, the hero business sounds fun and exciting, but one thing people love more than a hero is to see the hero fail. Fall. Die try." Succubelle explained in a sultry whispered tone. "In spite of everything you've done for them, eventually they'll end up hating you. So, why bother?"
"Because.... it's.... it's right." Dustn stuttered out.
Succubelle chuckled while ruffling Dustin's hair. "How cute. But tell me this. Do you help people because it's the right thing to do? Or just for the thrill of being a hero?"
Dustin would have explained, he would have come up with an answer, but he couldn't. What could he say? Succubelle knew she had him right where she wanted him.
"Listen honey, it's quite gallant that you use your powers to help others." Succubelle said. "But you could also use those powers to get whatever you want."
Dustin still said nothing but was confused ok what Succubelle was talking about.
"Tell me. When you helped those people, have you ever once gotten a thank you or a token of gratitude?"
"Y-Yeah..." Dustin replied with a nod.
"But are they really thankful for your endeavors? Or are they just taking you for granted?" Succubelle asked. "Now aways, it's hard for one to tell if who is being, or who had an agenda. One minute you're helping somebody out of the kindness of your heart, and the next they end up leeching off of you."
Dustin still said nothing, unsure what to think. He would have objected, but he knew that she wasn't wrong. He has seen stuff like this happen on occasions.
"Maybe you're so called "friends" aren't as friendly as you think." Succubelle spoke. "They could be taking advantage of you, just like those you've helped."
Succubelle placed a hand under Dustin's chin, smiling deviously. "But I would never o such a thing dear. So, I have a bit of a proposition."
Dustin blushed madly as he looked Succubelle dead in the eye.
"Join me, and you could have anything your heart desires." Succubelle said, leaving closer to his face. "You could have all the respect in the world. Anything you wanted can be granted to you on a whim. People will be begging to even grace you with a moment of their time."
"Uh... well... I..." Dustin stammered, struggling to find the right words.
"Come now, you'll never get an opportunity like this again dear." Succubelle spoke, a grin filled with malice gracing her face.

Succubelle was still looking Dustin in the eye, hand under his chin with a small grin visible.
"Well~?" Succubelle goaded on, "Do we have a deal?"
"I.... uh..." Dustin stuttered, still entranced by Succubelle's influence. But suddenly, he then remembered his friends back home and broke out of his stupor. Once free from Succubelle's control, he pushed himself out of Succubelle's grasp.
"No deal!" Dustin declared, a glare on his face while Succubelle was shocked.
'Impossible! ' Succubelle thought to herself in bewilderment. 'Nobody is immune to my charms! '
"I'll find a way back home!" Dustin said, readying his Digitrix. "And I can sense you're up to no good! So, either you tell me where the exit is, or I'll have to force the answers out of you!"
Succubelle was still shocked that Dustin had broken from her spell, but she then had a smirk as a chuckle escaped her.
"I'm afraid finding a way out of here is not that easy." Succubelle responded wickedly.
"What do you mean?" Dustin asked, raising an eyebrow.
"There is only one way to escape Goetia, child!" Succubelle replied with a smirk, getting up and crossing her arms. "And it's not going to be an easy rope to climb!"
Back at CHS
"WHAT?!" Everyone said collectively out of disbelief.
"You mean Dustin has to make his way down to the seventh layer to get out?!" Rainbow Dash asked in shock.
"Pretty much " Allister replied with a nod. "To escape Goetia, one must traverse to its deepest recesses."
"How long will that take?!" Subset asked, concerned for Dustin's wellbeing.
"It's hard to say." Allister said with a shrug. "The last person who ventures through Goetia returned within six months."
"Six months?!" Twilight asked out in shock.
"But knowing Dustin, he'll probably be out within three days." Allister said with a hint of uncertainty. "But again, it's hard to say."
"I hope he's doing ok." Fluttershy said out if pure worry for her male friend.
Back with Dustin
"I see." Dustin said, scratching his chin. "So, you're saying that if I need to get out of here, I need to go all the way down to the seventh layer?"
"Indeed." Succubelle replied. "But as I said, such a task is a fool's errand."
"Then I might as well die trying, lady!" Dustin declared as reached for his Digitrix.
"You don't even know the location of the gateway to the second layer." Succubelle replied with a smug grin. "And I'm certainly not going to tell you thar easily."
"Then I guess I'll just have to beat the portal's location out of you!" Dustin said before dialing up the Digitrix. And in a flash of blue light, he changed into the familiar plant-like dragon named...
"SNAPDRAGON! "
The other Vice Presidents were watching the scene go down through an energy orb.
"Looks like her plan failed!" Doji said with a smirk. "I knew it!"
"Bring pit your bets, gentlemen." Corvoss said to his fellow Vice Presidents with a smirk. "This will be quit the show."
Narcussa eyed Snapdragon, a look of intrigue visible on her face.
"A dracoflorasian." Succubelle muttered a smug smile. "This should be interesting."
Succubelle then snapper her fingers, causing a bunch of massive flower bulbs from the ground. Within moments, the bulbs upped up, revealing a green bulky humanoid which white mask-like heads.
"Bring it!" Snapdragon breathed out a blast of green fire at one of the creatures, reducing it to ash. But shortly afterwards, the creature had emerged anew like a phoenix.
"Seize him, my servants!" Succubelle declared, and the bulky plant creatures charged at Snapdragon.
Snapdragon smirked before flapping his wings, taking flight.
"Good luck taking down someone in the air!" Snapdrabon taunted. Succubelle smirked as one of her servants lunged a series of vine-like tentacles from its arms. "Oh, come on!"
Instantly, the creature had slammed Snapdragon into the ground. Pe dragon groaned in slight pain as Succubelle approached him.
"Such a shame." Succubelle said with a smirk. "Perhaps my hypnotic pollen would make you more submissive." She then puckered her lips before placing her right hand in her lips, then with a smooch, she blew a plume of purple mist at Snapdragon.
Succubelle smiled wickedly as this occurred, but then the pollen subsided, she gasped in shock upon seeing that Snapdragon was not there.
"What?!" Succubelle asked with surprise, looking around. "Where are you?"
While she didn't notice it, Rockweiler had dug out of the ground and was about to strike her from behind. But Succubelle was quick to notice and send a vine whip at him to knock him away.
Rockweiler however growled before being engulfed in a bright blue flash, shifting to Rainbow Rocks.
Succubelle only smirked in response before tapp9ng her foot on the ground. In moments, a large puppy flower that resembled a Rafflesia emerged beneath Rainbow Rocks' feet. Before he could even react, the flower had ensnared in in vines, and shortly afterwards he began to grunt and groan as the vines glowed a multicolored glow.
"Drain Bloom. Nast little buggers that quite literally suck the life out of you!" Succubelle declared with a smug grin.
But in a flash of blue, Rainbow Rocks changed to Einstrike before emitting a electricity, electrocuting the plant to death and freeing himself.
"You'll have to try harder than that!" Einstrike declared, before reverting back to Dustin in another blue flash of light.
"The Hell!" Dustin gasped in shock, looking to the Digitrix. "Oh, come on! Now's not the time to recharge!"
"Oh dear, looks like your luck ran out." Succubelle said as her servants surrounded him. But then suddenly, three orbs of light appeared and surrounded Succubelle, much to her shock.
"What?!" Succubelle muttered before she was electrocuted. Her servants went to help her, only for then to suddenly be encased in ice.
Dustin watched on in surprise as one of the orbs flew towards him. "What the..."
The red orb then flew off, followed by the yellow orb. The blue orb flew towards Dustin, motioning him to follow.
Dustin, still confused, got up and followed the blue orb.
As Succubelle recovered from the sudden attack, she looked to where Dustin had run off.
The other Vice Presidents were taken aback by what they had just seen.
"You've got to be kidding me!" Doji growled angrily. "Those three again?!"
"It seems we have some party crashers!" Narcissa spoke, an unamused look visible on her face.

Dustin had stopped to rest at a nearby tree to catch his breath as the three orbs of light that saved him were floating near him.
"Man... that... that was close..." Dustin said in between breaths as he looks to three orbs of light. "Thanks for the save, by the way. Whatever you guys are."
"I think you mean "whoever we are." The red orb spoke, making Dustin jump in surprise.
And suddenly, the three orbs emitted a bright flash. After a brief moment, three human-like figures stood before him. One was a man in his mid-thirties dressed in a red open blazer with black leather pants and, brown eyes, and short auburn hair. He had the air of a punk man with him, and seemed quite rambunctious.
The second was a man who seemed to be five years older than the man in red. He was dressed in a yellow buttoned up blouse with khaki pants, emerald green eyes, and short blonde hair. He seems to be more of the intellectual type of person based on his rather calm and collective demeanor.
And the third was a woman who was probably in her early twenties. She wore a blue dress, had long silvery hair, Arctic blue eyes, and had a rather fair completion compares to the two men accompanying her. She seemed to be the rather affectionate and tender loving type, much like Fluttershy.
Dustin was surprised by what he seeing, and was a bit awestruck as well. “Who… who are you guys?”
“The name’s Damian.” The man in red named Damian introduced with a nod.
“Salutations, young one. I am Verne.” The man in yellow said with a bow.
“And I am Bea.” The woman in blue said with a smile. “And we are the creators and gatekeepers of Goetia.”
“Wait! You guys made this place?” Dustin asked, shocked by such a reveal. “
“Yes. We built it as a way to imprison the Seven Vice Presidents.” Verne explained. “I’m sure Succubelle has told you about them, yes?”
“Yeah.” Dustin nodded. “So, if you guys made this place, then you guys…”
“Help you break free?” Verne finished with a smile. “We wouldn’t have rescued you if we weren’t considering that.”
“And lucky you, we know the portals for each layer of Goetia.” Damian said, making Dustin beam a bit. “Just stick with us, and you’ll make it out in one piece.”
Before anything else was said, one of Succubelle’s minions had arrived, knocking a tree down with Succubelle sitting in its shoulder.
“There you are.” Succubelle said with a smirk, but then loos to the three. “And I see you’ve made some new friends.” Succubelle scoffed.
“What’s happening, bitch?” Damian asked with a cocktail smirk. “Up for a other ass beating?”
“Stow it, red!” Succubelle relied as another one of her minions arrived and was ready to strike. “Now if you don’t mind, I’ve got a little human to capture.”
“Just try it, wench!” Verne replied before raising his right arm upwards, electrocuting the two hulking plant beasts.
“You meddlesome bastards!” Succubelle growled angrily before sextet ding some vine-like tendrils at them. Damian smirked before snapping his fingers, causing each vinegar to erupt in flames while making Succubelle yell in shock and pain.
Dustin looks to the Digitrix, only to groan out in dismay as he saw that it was still in recharge mode. “Come on, you piece of crap! Recharge time’s over!” Dustin failed to notice another one of Succubelle’s minions approach him from behind. But when Dustin turned to face the beast, it was suddenly enveloped in thick ice.
“Damn you!” Succubelle declared out of announce before she two was enveloped in ice.
“Lets move!” Verne exclaimed. “The portal shouldn’t be too far!”
“Then let’s get a move on!” Dustin said, and the four ran off.
As they ran off, Succubelle growled in rage before breaking free.
“That’s it!” Succubelle growled furiously. “I think now is a good time as any to bust out the big guns!” Succubelle reached into hair before pulling out a single seed, smirking with malicious intent.
***
After a bit of running, the group arrived to the portal. The portal resembled a stone Gothic style archway that had various vines and ivy plants ground on it. In the middle was a purple and green colored vortex.
“There’s the portal!” Dante exclaimed.
“Thank God!” Dustin said with a sigh of relief. Dustin was about to approach the portal, only for a mass of vines to completely cover it. And suddenly, Succubelle appeared in front of the vine covered portal from a shower of flower petals.
“Going somewhere?” Succubelle taunted.
“Oh come on!” Dustin groaned out in annoyance. “You never give up, do you?!”
“Not when I have my sights set on something I want!” Succubelle replied, snapping her fingers. The ground beneath them began to shake before something erupted from the beside Succubelle. It resembled a large three-head Serpent composed of thorny vines, each head measuring up to fifty feet in height.
“Oh crap!” Dustin muttered, eyes wide in shock upon seeing the massive plant monster.
“Time for a little control burning!” Damian declared, his hands being encased in fire, and sends a blast of Flames at the center head of the creature. But the head had regenerated shortly afterwards. “Aw, what?!”
“Chow time!” Succubelle laughed out maniacally as the plant monster roared. The left head of the Beast went to chomp down on Damian, only for Verne to send a surge of electricity at it. Bea unleashed a barrage of ice crystals at rhetorically floral monster, but the world’s that is has sustained healed up instantly.
As Verner, Bea, and Damian were fighting of the floral monster, Dustin was looking to the Digitrix. “Come on, recharge time’s over!” Siddbely, Dustin was ensnared in vines as Succubelle approach him.
“You’re coming with me!” Succubelle declared as she grabbed Dustin by the collar
“Ok… that’s new.” Dustin muttered in surprise before looking back to the Digitrix, seeing that is was done recharging. “Well, it’s about damn time!”
“New feature unlocked.” The Digitrix AI spoke, surprising Dustin even more when the screen displayed something new.
“Select transformations by voice command or typing in their designated names.“ The Digitrix AI continued
“That’s new too!” Dustin said, confused as he examined then screen. “Uh… Ok, I guess…. Lightspeed and Firefox?” The names of the transformations appeared on both bars, the images of the respective transformations appeared before a third image appeared on the square in the center.
"Whoa." Dustin muttered out, surprised even more now upon seeing this. And out of curiosity, Dustin pressed the "activate" button, causing him to be enveloped in the familiar egg-shaped dome.
Within the dome, Dustin levitated as both Firefox and Lightspeed both materialized and slowly began to inch towards him. Once the three made contact, they were enveloped in bright flash.
Once the light faded, the surrounding environment resembled a barren desert with a single highway.
And in a flash of multicolored lightning, Dustin’s new form appeared. It resembled Firefox, though there were some major differences. For one, his fur color was bright cyan with a cream yellow underbelly. Secondly was the armor; consisting of a bulky cyan chest plate, leggings and shoulder pads that were red with blue and cyan hotrod flames, cyan arm guards with orange and yellow hotrod flames and packed with thrusters, cyan facemask zig zags under the eyes, and a single queen on the heels. And instead of the nine tails like Firefox had, he had a single tail shaped like a lightning bolt had every color of the rainbow.
The new transformation did a few dashes and high kicks before striking a dynamic pose.
"HOTWIRE! " The new form roared out as the data dome surrounding him then vanished.
Succubelle got up, rubbing her head in pain, and took notice if Dustin's new transformation. "Wha-What the...?!" Succubelle stuttered in disbelief. "What is this?!"
(Transformation Index)
With near impossible speed, Hotwire sped to the three-headed plant monster and pinched it, electrocuting it with a surge of multicolored electricity.
Damian, Verne, and Bea were stunned by Dustin's new form, but were grateful for the help.
Succubelle was more shocked than amazed, but her shock quickly changed to anger and frustration. "Looks like I need to discipline you!" Succubelle declared before sending another wave of vines at Hotwire.
Hotwire however sidestepped to avoid them before dashing to her and pinching her in the gut with am electrically charged fist. She coughed up a bit as she was electrocuted in multicolored electricity.
The right head of the plant monster lunged towards Hotwire, but the fusion canine had an idea of taking the beast out. Hotwire, with a determined look, jumped down the head's throat as it's jaws snapped shut.
Bea covered deer mouth in shock as Damian and Verne were mortified upon seeing this. But suddenly, smoke began to emit from the mouths of the plant monster before plumes of multicolored fire erupted from their mouths. Moments later, the three heads collapsed to the ground and a column of rainbow fire erupted from the ground, and Hotwire emerged.
Succubelle was in total disbelief upon seeing this.
"No.... no!" Succubelle muttered, rage slowly taking her. "NO, NO, NO! THIS CANT BE!"
"Believe it, woman!" Hotwire declared before spending towards her, delivering a series of pinches and kicks in blinding speed. After a good minute of high-speed kicks and punches, Succubelle was battered and beaten, but she was not willing to give up yet.
"You little shit... I'M GOING TO SKIN YOU ALIVE!!!" Succubelle roared out as she fired yet another wave of vine tentacles at Hotwire. Hotwire however countered but jumping up and charging a large ball of rainbow fire before sending it at her. The attack causing a tremendous explosion when it made contact.
When the dust settled, Succubelle was on her knees, singed badly and breathing heavily. Hotwire then used his speed to remove the vines that covered the portal before he reverted back to Dustin.
Succubelle looked to Dustin, seething bitterly in anger.
"Well, as fun as this visit was, I believe I should get going." Dustin said to Succubelle with a smug grin. "Later bitch." And with that, Dustin had entered the portal with Damian, Verne, and Bea following.
With the other Vice Presidents, they were surprised by what they had seen from fight.
"What was that?!" Doji asked out in disbelief. "He never used... whatever the hell that just was!"
"It seems that he has unlocked a new powwer." Corvoss said before flashing a smug grin. "Also, I do believe you and Derma owe me 500,000 and 100, 000 Bitcoins respectively, Monstro."
"FUCK! " Derma yelled out in dismay as Monstro grumbled in defeat.

Dustin groaned, stirring awake and sniffing the air.
"What the... UGH! What is that God awful stank?" Dustin gagged in disgust as he got up, struggling to stand like he was standing on something... slippery? "Where am..." Dustin then looks around, seeing that he was in the mouth of something massive. Really massive. "Oh great!"
***
Back on land, Bea was struggling to hold her tears, Verne was pacing back and forth, and Damian was punching on a nearby tree.
"DAMMIT!" Damian growled furiously as he continued punching the tree. "Dammit! How the Hell can we sit here and do nothing while that oversized sardine has the kid in his jaws?!"
"I know how dire the situation may be, Damian." Verne said assuredly. "Trust me, I know. But I'm afraid it's up to him now." Verne looks to Bea, seeing his feminine comrade weeping. "Bea, he'll escape." Verne said, approaching to Bea while trying to calm her down.
Bea looks to Verne, her eyes were puffy while she had a look of uncertainty on her face.
***
Back underwater, Monstro was swimming about, still gloating on how easily he managed to take down Dustin when he saw a school of fish swimming nearby.
Monstro licked his lips and chased after the mass of fish.
Meanwhile, Dustin was pondering on how to escape when he saw Monstro had open up, letting water in as well as a bunch of the fish.
"Oh crap!" Dustin gasped before glancing at the Digitrix, seeing that it was still in recharge mode. With little options, he spotted a nearby ruined ship, he climbed aboard and held on tight as the water started flooding in. As the water came in, the boat he was on was afloat, the water rocking it back and forth violently. "Whoa- oh boy...!" Dustin struggled to hold on, and he fish that flopped around didn't help either, with one of them smacking his face with its tailfin.
Outside, Monstro continued to chase the large school, eventually breaching the surface and snapping his jaws shut before stopping to rest near small island.
Back inside, Dustin had managed to avoid being swallowed as the water began to recede, and a few of the fish flopped about on Monstro's tongue.
"Thank God almighty." Dustin sighed in relief before stepping off the boat. "Now the question is, how am I going to get out of here?" Dustin pondered, looking to the boat, then to the Digitrix, and he had an idea.
After a few minutes of waiting, the Digirix had finally finished recharging. "Alright, now how am I gonna do this." Dustin asked, running his chin in thought. "Firefox could get the job done, but he isn't a good swimmer. I could go Riptide and Gemplify him with the Red Digitalisman, but that would cause the Digitrix to time out faster." Dustin then came to his final conclusion. "A fusion may be a bit of a crapshoot, but it's my best bet."
Without wasting anymore time, Dustin accessed the fusion feature,
“Select transformations by voice command or typing in their designated names.“ The Digitrix AI continued
“Riptide! Firefox!” Dustin sloke, the names of the transformations appearing on both bars, the images of the respective transformations appeared before a third image appeared on the square in the center.
With a smirk, he pressed the select button, causing him to be enveloped in the familiar egg-shaped dome.
Within the dome, Dustin levitated as both Riptide and Firefox both materialized and slowly began to inch towards him. Once the three made contact, they were enveloped in bright flash.
Once the light faded, the area had transitioned into a coastal shore in what appeared to be China.
A bright red glow appeared beneath the waves before an explosion of water occurred. And from it appeared the new fusion form.
It resembled a cross between a sea serpent and a Chinese dragon. Its body was electric blue with bright red flame patterns decor8jg his sides, and an underbelly that was bright orange on the top while transitioning to aquamarine further down. On his back was a seafoam green fin that trailed along his back and trailed his tail. His head looked more like that of a carp with two long yellow whiskers, bright turquoise eyes, and two fins that resemble horns protruding on the sides of his head. In place of legs, he had two fins where his legs would be, and on the tail was a flame-shaped fin.
"BOILING POINT! " The new form roared out, breathing puffs of steam out of his nostrils as the data dome surrounding him then vanished.
(Transformation Index)
Upon examining himself, Boiling Point smiled in awe.
"Man, this is awesome!" Boiling Point chuckled before slithering his way to the boat. "Alright, big boy! Hope you're a good smoker!" Boiling Point took in a deep breath before breathing out a plume of fire, burning the boat and causing a cloud of smoke to fill the air. But it didn't look like it was enough. Boiling Point took in another deep breath and exhales a large cloud of steam.
***
Damian, Verne, and Bea had spotted Monstro in his current resting spot.
"There he is!" Bea said. "We've got to help him out that beast!"
"There's nothing we can do." Verne said, placing a hand on Bea's shoulder. "It's up to him now."
"And he might be doing it! Look!" Damian said, pointing to Monstro. And Verne and Bea look to see smoke escaping from Monstro's gill slits. And speaking of Monstro, he was awakened from his nap when he smelt the scent of smoke, and he eventually lets out a sneeze, sending Boiling Point flying right out.
"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH! "
Boiling Point screamed as he flew through the air, eventually landing near Bea, Verne, and Damian.
"The Devil?" Verne gasped in surprise, but he then spotted the familiar Digitrix symbol. "Wait! Dustin Miller?"
"Yep... oh man!" Boiling Point groaned out before pressing on the Digitrix Symbol, reverting back to Dustin in the process. "And just call me Dustin, dude."
After a few more sniffles, Monstro puts out the fire in his mouth. Once the fire was put out, his sniffling had ceased as he glares to Dustin. "You... you little prick!"
"Over there! On the island next to Monstro!" Verne said, pointing to said island. "The portal is over there!"
Dustin looks to the island and saw the portal. The portal resembled a doorframe composed of coral and had a bright orange and cyan vortex in the center. "Sweet! But we still have blubber boy here to deal with!"
"Too bad you won't get there!" Monstro declared as he was about to suck Dustin back in, but Damian fires balls of fire at Monstro's eyes, making the monstrous cetacean roar in agony. "YOU BASTARD! " Monstro bowed his head, revealing a blowhole on the tip of his snout, firing a blast of water towards Damian. Damian dodged the attack before it could hit him.
"Alright, I think it's time for a dive!" Dustin declared as he readied the Digitrix. And in a bright flash of blue, Dustin had changed to Freakshow. "White Digitalisman, Gemplify! LET IT SNOW! " Freakshow declared before jumping off the cliff and into the water below.
Damian, Verne, and Bea watched in shock, but they then see a bright white glow beneath the water, which seemed to grow in both size and intensity. And suddenly, the Gemplified form of Freakshow breached. It resembled Freakshow in the form of a large manta ray with two blasters and what looked like a warship attached to his back; both of which were composed of white crystal. He even had a long tail tipped with a white crystal arrowhead. He was also larger in size, about twice the size of a cruise ship in fact.
"I'm locked and loaded, baby!" The newly Gemplified Freakshow declared, his shoulder cannons cocked and ready to deliver their payload.
Verne, Bea, and Damian were stunned at first, but they just went with it and hoped on the manta shaped Erebonite's back. Monstro shrugged off his pain and glared at the Gemplified form of Freakshow.
"Hope you're still hungry, fat-ass!" Gemplified Freakshow declared, aiming his cannons at Monstro. "Because I've got plenty to serve up!" And then, Freakshow fired a barrage of cyan energy blasts at Monstro.
Monstro however chuckled before opened his mouth and devoured the energy blasts. "Tasty! And a perfect treat to beat the heat." Monstro said with a lick of his lips, suddenly emitting a white aura as he too gained white crystal armor on his bolt. Monstro's head was adorned with a helmet with a singular spike, on the sides of his dorsal fin was a mounted missile launcher, and each of his fin was armed with a blade.
Freakshow was dumbfounded by what he had just saw.
"Surprised, aren't ya?" Monstro asked with a taunting smirk. "One of my abilities involves devouring anything to gain the properties and attributes of what I've eaten!" Monstro then fired a barrage of blue energy orbs towards Gemplified Freakshow.
Freakshow however smirked as a thick mist appeared, obscuring Monstro's vision. Monstro looked around, trying to find Freakshow, but the mist was so thick that he can barely see a few inches away.
"Don't think you can hide from me!" Monstro said, still looking around.
"Darkness falls across the land, the midnight hour is close at hand." Freakshow called out through the fog, making Montro look around while feeling a bit freaked out. "Creatures crawl in search of blood to terrorize y'all's neighborhood."
"D-Don't play games with me!" Monstro stuttered out, his heart racing slightly out of fear.
"And whoever shall be found without the sound for getting down, must stand and face the hounds of hell and rot inside a corpse's shell." Freakshow continued, and Monstro saw some of fog approach him. "The foulest stench is in the air, the funk of forty thousand years..." Monstro saw bits of fog change into the shape of horrific monstrosities, and he could swear he could see glowing eyes, making him really scared now. "And grisly ghouls from evert tomb are closing in to seal your doom. And though you fight to stay alive, your body starts to shiver."
"P-Please... no more!" Monstro stuttered in pure terror as he sees more of the mist monsters were ganging up on him.
"For no mere mortal can resist the evil of... the thriller!"
And before Monstro could move away or dive into the safety of the waves beneath, he was blasted by a blast of cyan energy. The attack let him completely frozen in ice as the fog disappeared, revealing that Freakshow was behind him smiling victoriously.
"Now that's done and over with..." Freakshow said as swam to the island. Upon reaching the island, Damian, Verne, and Bea hopped off as Gemplified Freakshow reverted back to Dustin. And without wasting any time, the four entered the portal while Monstro floated adrift in his icy confines.
"Oh crap." Monstro groaned out in defeat.

It was night, and Twilight was lying awake in bed at night, still worried for Dustin while Spike slept at her feet.
Spike fluttered his eyes open, seeing that Twilight was still awake.
"Twilight…" Slike muttered groggily, "You're still awake?"
"How can I sleep when our friend is in Cyberspace's version of Hell, fighting for his life and trying to escape?" Twilight reolied in a whispered tone.
"Twilight, you heard what Allister said." Spike said reassuringly. "There's nothing we can do abkut it. It's up up to him." Spike got up and walked to his owner, placing a oat on her forehead assuring. "Besides, he's probably aided by those three guys who made Goetia."
"But…" Twilight stammered, still unsure
"I assure you, miss Sparkle, young master Dustin is doing well so far."
Spike and Twilight looked around in surlrise until they see Merlidamus appear.
"Merlidamus…?" Twilight muttered out in surprise. "Wait. You and the other Primordials are in the Digitalismans. Do you think you can fill us in?"
Merlidamus smiled fondly, knowing that she was worried for Dustin's safety. And he couldn't blame her. "Well, he's successfully managed to defeat the embodiments of Lust and Gluttony, and is currently in the realm of Greed."
"Greed?" Twilight asked before gasping in horror. "Wait! He's facing Corvoss!"
"Isn't he the second most powerful of the bunch?" Spike asked in disbelief.
"Indeed so." Merlidomus replied with a nod. "And he is quite a crafty foe due to his sharp wits and cunning nature."
"Butbhey, he kicked the embodiment of Lust's butt right?" Spike asked with a smile. "He could easily beat that Corvoss guy."
"Succubelle is the third ranked. Corvoss is the second ranked. Meaning he's a notch above her." Twilight corrected her canine companion, making the pup realize his miscalculation.
"Well, the new feature he has recently unlocked should give him a bit of an edge." Merlidomus spoke, earning Twilight and Spike's new attention.
"New feature?" Twilight asked. "What kind if new feature?"
"One that allows him to combine two of his transformations to create new ones." Merlidomus replied, making Twilight gasp in a mix of shock and interest.
"How do you know that?" Spike asked, earning a deadpan look from Merlidomus. "Oh… right." Spike muttered. "You're in one of the Digitalismans."
"Anyhow, I and my fells will inform you on his progress." Merlidomus spoke, making Taikight sigh a bit in relief. "For now, you must rest." And with that, Merlidomus faded away, leaving Twilight and Spike alone.
Still a bit worried, but somewhat relieved knowing that Duatin was safe so far, she emits a yawn as Spime returns to his position. And with that, Twilight drifted off to sleep.
Monstro was resting in a pool, a large wet rag resting on his forehead and a thermometer in his mouth. After his fight against Dustin, Monstro was currently suffering from a cold.
Doji was glaring at Monstro with annoyance as Succubelle had brought Monstro a large bowl of soup.
"Ugh…I feel like crap!" Monstro spoke, sniffling.
"I cannot believe you etc that kid psyche you out!" Doji said with a light snarl. "But to be honest, I didn't expect anything less out of your blubbery tail!"
Suddenly, Monstro released a mighty sneeze, sending Doji flying a few feet and making the oni-like beast skid on the gound.
"Oh, how it elates me so to see you suffer." Corvoss said as he landed besides Doji.
"Oh, fuck off bird brain!" Doji growled furiously as he got up and dusted himself. "Don't you have a statue to shit on?"
"Monstro is thick-skulled, don't get me wrong," Corvoss replied with a smirk, "but at least he has some semblance of mentality."
Doji glared to Corvoss, gnashing his teeth angrily. "What's that supposed to mean?" seethed Doji.
"As mighty as you are, your temper is your biggest and most fatal flaw." Corvoss taunted. "I guarantee he'd snuff out out as if you were but a candle."
"Is that a challenge?" Doji growled angrily.
"I'm only stating the facts, my ill-tempered acquaintance." Corvoss sad nonchalantly.
"Succubelle failed too!" Doji shot back while motioning to the floral woman. "And she is the third ranked!"
"Thank you for the reminder, big red!" Succubelle replied in a deadpan manner.
"Yes, but you are fourth, so she heavily out tanks you. Further fueling my point." Corvoss replied. "You cab deny my words all you wish, you know my words hold logic."
Doji growled angrily, his eyes glowing red as his fists were engulfed I'm flames before he went to deliver a punch. Corvoss however countered by knocking him back with nothing but his wing. Doji went to deliver another punch, only for it to be encased in crystal. Doji went to use his other fist, only for it too to be encased in crystal as well. And with a flap of his wings, Corvoss sent a blast of wind to sent Doji crashing into a nearby wall.
But Doji was even more enraged, charging towards Corvoss. But Corvoss sinply sidestepped, making Doji to crash into another wall. Doji turned and faced Corvoss, ready yo deliver another attack.
Monstro huffed, and puffed, and then sneezed again, sending Doji flying again and making him crash into the wall once again.
"See what I mean, Doji?" Corvoss asked with a triumphant smirk. "That temper of your clouds you thinking. With a clear mind and quick thinking, your enemy will be easy to falter."
"Oh yeah?!" Doji declared, still fuming in rage. "If you're so fucking smart, then why don't you head out face him?!"
"That's exactly where I was heading, henis heading to my domain after all. But I wanted to stop by and end enjoy the show before my departure." Corvoss said with a smug grin on his beak. "Ta-ta."
Amd with that, Corvoss walked off, and Doji glared at him as he walked.
"Pompous asshole!" Doji seethed under his breath.
With Dustin
Dustin had turned into Pixy Gust and flying g through a vast mountain range, all the while Damian, Verne, and Bea flew alongside her in their light orb forms.
"What did you say this place was called again?" Pixy Gust asked.
"The Midas Mountains." Verne said. "The domain of Corvoss. He's the craftiness and most intelligent of the Seven Vice Presidents."
"The brains of the group, hmm?" Pixy Gust asked.
Eventually, Pixy Gust looked to see a cave entrance one one of the mountains. Wanting to rest for a bit, she and her three helpers landed into the cave before Pixy Gust reverted back to Dustin. Daman, Verne, and Bea had also changed back to human form as well before the four looked around.
"The portal is in Corvoss trove." Verne said, looking around. "We better tread with caution. Corvoss is very protective when it comes to her horde of treasure."
"Then we better make this a quick pit stop. Dustin said before he and the others began walking.
After a bit of walking, the group had arrived at the treasure trove. And Dustin looked around the entire treasure room. "Oh… my… God."
Dustin saw that the entire trove was chalked full of various creatures. The floor was littered with coins if various colors and even a few gemstones. But in addition coins and jewels, there were a few golden statues, various portraits and paintings hanging in the walls, a large shelf filled to the brim with books, the place was filled with treasures beyond one's own imagination.
"Man, oh man." Dustin muttered as he looked around. "This Corvoss guy is absolutely loaded. Just a hand full of this stuff would make anybody richer than all of the political leaders in the world combined!"
Dustin then seems one stray coin, urging him to pick it up annexamin it. Upon closer examination, he saw that it had a ₿, a symbol he knew as a symbol for bitcoin.
"Bitcoin?" Dustin asked with a deadpan look. "Are you kidding? Cryptocurrency is actual currency here?"
"In all if Cyberspace, actually." Verne acknowledged. "Well, it's been a thing long before humans made it popularized in recent years."
"I hope to God there's none of that NFT garbage floating around here." Dustin groaned out.
"Oh yeah, those stupid things." Damian said, sharing the disdain. "Yeah, that probably was one of the stupidest things your kind has ever came up with."
"Thank God that crap went down the gutters!" Dustin replied, tossing the Bitcoin away. "I hated the whole concept of NFTs back when they first introduced, and I still hate them now."
"I'm awfully surprised by the majority of people who were hyped for such a redundant trend." Verne said, nodding in agreement. "Even the fact some celebrities even joined on the craze is just baffling."
"Yeah, but those poor saps didn't realize the cons those damn things had." Dustin rolled his eyes. "Looks, let's just find that portal."
"Just keep your guard up, young Dustin." advised Verne. "Lets hope Corvoss isn't around."
"Maybe there's something here you can use!" Damian said, heading to a nearby treasure chest and opening up, revealing more baubles and trinkets in it. "You know, whenever that watch of yours times out. Plus, you'd also get a killer souvenir for bragging rights."
"We should split up." Verne acknowledged. "We'll be able to cover more ground." Verne looks to Dustin. "Keep your guard up, my boy."
"If you say so, dude." Dustin said before walking off while trying to be as quiet as possible in case Corvoss was nearby.
And unfortunately, Corvoss was present. He was resting on a ledge higher up, watching the group with a sinister smile forming on his beak.
'And now, the fun can begin. ' Corvoss thought to himself, his eyes glowing a bright yellow.
As Damian was running the trinkets to find something for Dustin to use should he encounter Corvoss, his mouth wash covered in crystal, taking him by surprise. Damian was about to run to the others, only to find his feet were covered in crystals as well. Damnain was instantly covered in crystal within 30 seconds. Bea and Verne were walking in their own separate pathsbwhen they too suffered the same fate as Damian.
And witht the three immobilized, Corvoss turned his attention to Dustin, who thankfully didn't take notice.
Dustinbwas walking towards the bookshelf, resting his hand against it. "Man, it could take day before we find that stupid protal." Dustin looked to the books that decorated the bookshelf. "Hmm, let's see if this Corvoss guy has good reading material."
When Dustin went to grab the book from the shelf, he heard a clicking sound before the bookshelf began to move to the side. Dustin was surprised at first, but his shock turned to elation when he saw the portal, which was made of gold and fashined baroque style with a yellow and white spiraling vortex in the center.
"Sweet! You guys! I've found the portal!" Dustin called out, but got no response. "Guys?" Duatin called out again, but still nno reply. Dustin looks around, seeing so sign of the three, unaware of what happened to them. "Where are they?"
"Worry not about them, boy! It's your life that you should be concerned of!"
Dustin jumped a bit in surprise before a series of crystal spikes emerged, blocking the portal. Dustin was then knocked back by a powerful blast ofnwinde, making him skid across the ground.
"Ugh... man!" Duatin groaned, rubbing his head before seeing Corvoss land near him. "So you're Corvoss."
"Indeed I am, my boy." Corvoss greeted with a nod of his head. "You may have bested Succubelle and Monstro, but let's see how you fair against me!"
"Where are Damian, Verne, and Bea you feathered fuck!" Dustin demanded.
"If you wish to know..." Covoss said, tapping his right foreleg on the ground. Dustin sees a large golden humanoids carrying the crystallized forms of Bea, Verne, and Damian. "I couldn't afford and distractions or interferences, so I made quick work of them."
"You bastard!" Dustin growled, and was about to use the Digitrix. But a layer of crystal covered the Digitrix, preventing him from accessing it.
"If you wish to rescue your comrades and escape, then I have a suggestion." Corvoss stated. "I challenge you to a battle of wits. If you manage to best me in three rounds, then your comrades shall be freed and you will combine on your merry way. But if not," Corvoss chuckled wickedly, "then not only will your friends spend am eternity of bandage, but you will accompany them. And you must do so without the aide of your Digitrix." A small timer then materialized beside Corvoss. "And you must complete each and every one under a set time."
"Then bring it on, feather brain!" Dustin replied without hesitation.
"Excellent." Corvoss stated, grinning maliciously before the timer was set to one hour. "Let's start off simple with our first test."
Five playing cards suddenly materialized in front of Dustin, surprising him. These cards consisted of an Ace of Hearts, a Queen of Diamonds, a King of Spades, a Jack of Clubs, and a Joker.
"Now then, pick your card of choice." Corvoss stated. Dustin pondered for a bit before picking his ace of hearts card. "Now then, here's how this test works." The cards turned around and began shuffling for a good bit before spreading. "You must decide which card is the one you've picked. But choose wisely, for you only have one chance." The hourglass then turned upside down, signifying the battle of wits has begun.
Dustin pondered, narrowing his eyes as he examined each card.
"I thought you said this was simple!" Dustin said in anger.
"For me, it is." Corvoss replied with a chortle. "So? Which card is the right one?"
Dustin looked at each card, really putting some major thought into it. Eventually, he made his choice.
"I'll go for the card in the middle" Dustin decided, a look of confidence.
Corvoss looked at the card, and then to Dustin before the card revealed itself to be the correct one. "You guessed correctly."
"Yeah, I had to pay attention to the details on the back." Dustin said With a smirk. "When the cards flipped over, I noticed that the ace of hearts had a slight wrinkle on bottom right corner." Dustin points the corner of the card, a barely visible wrinkle seen on it."
"Hmm… clever." Corvoss said with a smirk. "But why don't we raise the stakes with our second test?" Corvoss smirked again. "Let's see how good you are with riddles."
Dustin nodded, preparing himself for whatever riddle Corvoss had.
After some thinking, Corvoss smiled wicked. "What is there one of in every corner and two of in every room?" Corvoss asked, stumping Dustin.
Dustin, looking to the hourglass, reminding him of the time limit. After thinking and thinking for a few minutes, he came up with an answer. "The letter O." Duatin replied. "There is one 'o' in the word "corner", while there are two in the word "room"."
"Clever thinking." Corvoss said with a smirk. "But let's test your wits to the limit with the final test."
Sudden lyrics, two small diamond shaped crystals appeared and hovered besides him; one red and one blue. "Here are two crystals, one red and one blue respectively." Corvoss explained. "Only one of them holds the key to your freedom from my chambers. By asking but one question, you must decide which crystal will grant you your escape, and which one will not.
Dustin looked to each crystal, worrying a but as he looked to the timer. Seeing that he was running out of time, for there was officially sixty seconds on the clock.
"Remember, you can ask only only one question." Corvoss reminded, smirking.
Dustin looked to the crystals again, and after some thinking, he decided what question to ask.
"My question would be…" Dustin started making Corvoss sme even wider, "If you had to decide, which crystal would you pick?"
Corvoss was surprised by the question. "That's your question?" Corvoss asked, quite puzzled.
"You said I can only ask one question." Dustin replied with a smirk. "So that's the question I'm asking."
Corvoss was surprised for a bit, but he smirked. "Very well then, I'd chose the red crystal."
"Then I will go for…" Dustin said, his hand reaching for, "The blue crystal!" Dustin grabbed the blue crystal, taking Corvoss completely by surprise.
"But… what makes you chose the blue crystal?" Corvoss asked in confusion. "I told you one was the red one!"
"Easy." Dustin replied with a smirk. "Because by asking, your answer would end up being a lie. There for the answer would be the opposite."
Corvoss was shocked, truly speechless. "Clever thinking, boy. Clever." Corvoss said as the blue Crystal Dustin held extended and morphed into the shape of a sword. And Corvoss lunged at Dustin, the boy sidestepping to avoid the attack.
"What gives?" Dustin demanded. "I passed your stupid tests, so release my friends and unblock that portal!"
"And I will." Corvoss replied. "After you've beaten me in a battle!"
Corvoss then took off to the air and dove towards Duatin, who smacked him away with the sword like a bat.
"Oh, I've been itching for a fight, you four legged turkey!" Dustin taunted before charging at him with the crystal sword.
Corvoss however retaliated by flapping his wings, sending a powerful gust of wind to to knock Dustin back. Dustin groaned as hengot back up, but then he noticed that the Digitrix was no longer covered in crystal.
Without wasting any time, Dustin changed into Einstrike.
"Now let's see how well you square off against another brainiac!" Einstrike declared as he fired a blast of electricity towards Corvoss. Corvoss however manipulated the surrounding coins to create a coin to deflect the attack. Corvoss then fired each of the coins st Einstrike, making him try and dodge as many as he could.
But when he saw the coins that surrounded him, an idea began to form in his mind.
Corvoss dove down towards Einstrike, and Einstrike smacked him away with the sword again. And when Corvoss crashed into a pile of coins, Eisntrike saw an opportunity.
He sent a blast of electricity towards the coinf pile, electrocuting Corvoss violently in the process. Once Einstrike decided Corvoss had enough, he approached Corvoss and aimed his sword at him.
"Now then! Release my friends and unblock the portal!" Einstrike demanded.
Corvoss, with a scoff, emitted a yellow glow in his eyes. As this happened, Damian, Verne, and Betty were free from their crystal containment while the crystals that blocked the portal broke apart like glass.
"Thank you!" Einstrike said before reverting back to Dustin and walked towards the portal. Damian, Verne, and Bea looked to Corvoss before following Dustin.

At CHS, Allister was meeting with his young friends, conversing.
"So, Dustin managed to defeat Corvoss?" Allister asker, quite impressed.
"That's what the Primordials told us this morning." Applejack replied.
"Well I'll be damned." Allister said with a smile. "And he said he managed to turn the tables on that feathered bastard in a battle of wits?"
"I'm quite surprised myself." Sunset said with a smirk. "So, what's next?"
"Mount Morpheus." Allister replied. "The zone Vesuvia resides."
Dustin, Verne, Bea, and Damian were walking through a valley with an enormous dormant volcano present.
"So this is Mount Morpheus?" Dustin asked, eyeing the volcano.
"Yes." Verne replied with a nod. "It's also Vesuvia's dominion."
"Speaking of…" Damian interjected, pointing to a direction. The other see that Vesuvia was resting near the volcano, and Dustin sees the portal was beside him.
"Well, this should be easy." Dustin said with a smirk before readying the Digitrix and turned to Lightspeed.
"Dustin, wait!" Beas said, but Lightspeed took off.
"This is a cakewalk!" Lightspeed grinned
But she then felt fatigued and exhausted, which only increased the further she got. "W-Whoa… the hell…"
Before it got any worse, water tentacle grabbed her and dragged her back to Bea,Verne, and Damian.
"What was that?" Lightspeed groaned out before changing back to Dustin.
"Vesuvia makes anyone inin close proximity succumb to slumber." Verne explained.
"So youre saying we have to take the guy down from a distance?" Dustin asked in disbelief. "That guy is gigantic! How are we supposed to take down an enemy that freaking big from a distance?!"
"Uh, guys…" Damian said, pointing to Vesuvia. They see Vesuvia starting to move, twitching a little. This meant only one thing.
"Oh crap!" Dustin uttered in shock as the volcanoes on Vesuvia's body began to emit smoke trails.
With a llud rumbling sound and a thunderous boom, Veuvia began to stand up as the lines began to glow bright red. And his eyes shot open, revealing them to glowing bright orange.
"GRRRRAAAAAAAA! " The now awakened Vesuvia roared, the volcanoes on his body erupting, creating a powerful shockwave.
"Oh dear god!" Dustin called out in dismay.
Vesuvia looked to the four. "Ah, so you've disturbed my beauty rest!" Vesuvia declared, his voice filled with rage. "I DON'T LIKE PEOPLE WAKING ME UP FROM MY NAP! "
Then volcano on Vesuvia's head erupted, sending large molten ball of magma towards them. Bea retaliated by firing a barrage of bubbles at the magma balls and solidifying them to rock. Verne followed it up by sending bolts of lightning to shatter each one to rubble.
Vesuvia aimed his hands at them and fired streams of superheated magma at them. Bea willed a water wall to block the attack.
Dustin changed into Firefox before being enveloped an egg dome made of red and yellow, the dome fading to reveal Firefox's Gemplified form via use of the Red Digitalisman.
Firefox uppled his hands together and closed his eyes. "Rin! Pyo! To! Sha! Kai! Jin! Retsu! Zai! Zen!" Firefox chanted as each of his tails were engulfed in red flames with each word spoken, each one forming into the head of a dragon while Pendragon was wide-eyed in fear. "KYU TATSU NO KAGUTSUCHI! " Firefox fired the fiery dragon heads towards Vesuvia and made him stumble back a step, but it didn't hurt him much.
"BASTARD! " Vesuvia roared at Firedox, rasing his right foot up before stomping the ground. This caused, resulting in the eruption of massive geysers of lava from underneath Firefox, sending the vulpine pyrokinetic flying near him.
Firefox gets up to attack, but he felt exhaustion begin to take a hold of him yet again. He found it difficult to keep his eyes open.
Despite this, Firefox was willing to fight as he fired a barrage of fireballs, but he missed as the Vesuvia chuckled with a deep laugh.
"Laugh while… you can you… stupid walking rock!" Firefox said, struggling to stay awake as his crystal claws glowed a bright red before slashing, sending waves of red energy that were aimed for Vesuvia's face, but they ended up hitting against his knee instead. "Shit!"
Vesuvia was about to attack, only for a barrage for electric bolts at Vesuvia's face while another water tendrils grabbed Firefox and bright him back towards Bea, Verne, and Damian.
"Damn it!" Firefox groaned as his blurry vision began to clear up before reverting back to Dustin. "So far, nothing seems to be working!"
"COME ON; YOU WALKING HUNK OF ROCK!" Damian called out, conjuring a large mass of fireballs before sending them at Vesuvia. The attack dud push him back a bit, though it did minimal damage.
"I'M GETTING WARMED UP!" Damian declared as he willed fiery tornadoes and sent them after Vesuvia, the rocky giant only shrugging the attack off like they were nothing.
Dustin was pondering on how to take this guy down. But then he too notice if the volcanoes on him, an idea forming on his head.
"Bea!" Dustin said, getting woman's attention. "Can you shoot water jets?"
"Yes. Why?" Bea asked. Dustin said nothing before changing into Einstrike, then Gemplifying with the White Digitalisman.
"Hey! You walking chunk of ignaceous stone!" Einstrike called out, getting Vesuvia's attention. Veauvia aimed his cannon-like arms at him, unknowingly giving Einstrike the perfect opportunity. "NOW BEA! AIN FOR HIS ARMS!"
Bea fired streams of water towards Vesuvia, all the while Einstrike fired white electricity on the water, the water shooting tight into Vesuvia's arms and into his body. Vesuvia roared out as the electricity surged him, making him go stiff as a statue as layers of frost formed on him.
"Thought you could chill for a bit!" Einstrike said, obviously making a pun before reverting back to Dustin. "Alright! We better head to that portal before he unthaws!"
"Allow me." Verne declared before sparking with electricity, grabbing onto Damian's hand. Avian then grabbed Bea's, and Bea grabbed Dustin's. And in a burst of speed, Verne ran towards the portal. Vesuvia had thawed out, but they were too fast for him to stop them in their tracks.
"DAMN YOOoooo …" Vesuvia declared, but wad cut off when a yawn escaped him. "Sleepy time…." Vesuvia had gotten back into his meditative position when he rests and began snoozing away once more.
Derma, Doji, and Corvoss were watching the now slumbering Vesuvia through the energy orb.
"That lazy bastard." Derma muttered with a deadpan look.
"I honestly didn't expect that." Doji said with a roll of his eyes. "He's the lowest ranked out of all of us."
"And it seems their heading to the Gokuen Prefecture next." Corvoss said, looking to Doji. "It seems you'll have your chance to shine."
"It's a boutique damn time!" Doji said with a smirk. "I've been needing a new punching bag, and I've got plenty of steam to blow off!"
Doji then walked off, but then he had an idea pop in his head. Whetever it was, it had to be a really wicked plan if his malicious grin was of any indication.

Narcissa was polishing her fingernails while her mirror exterior stood before a large mirror.
"Pardon me, milady."
Narcisssa stopped her nail polishing, her metal exterior moving to face Doji. "What is it you need, Doji?"
"I have a favor to ask." Doji said, genuflecting with his head bowed. "It involves the boys friends back in the physical world."
When Narcissa heard that, she had a wicked smirk on her face.
Dustin, Damian, Verne, and Bea were walking through a small forested area filled with trees with deep red bark and bright crimson leaves.
"So, where are we now?" Dustin asked.
"Gokuen Prefecture." Verne replied. "The zone of wrath. And Doji's dominion."
Once the four exited the forest, they saw a large settlement ahead, looking like it was pulled straight out of the Edo era of Japan.
"Finally, maybe we could stop and rest for a bit." Dustin said with a seat. "My feet are kidding me."
"And maybe we should get some grub while we're at it." Damian declared. "I'm starved."
"I don't think any of us have any cash, Damian." Dustin replied. "Plus I left my wallet at home."
The four entered the village, where many of its inhabitants went a bit scared upon seeing Bea, Verne, and Damian. Damian stopped at a local restaurant called "Big Bento".
"Yo, shopkeep!" Damian said, lapping the countertop. "Four Shangri-la Cubicles!" The shopkeeper jumped in fear before nodding frantically, running back to the kitchen.
Dustin watched on with confusion of the scene. "Wow. People here are plumb scared of you, huh?"
"All three of us, in actuality." Verne said, sitting next to Dustin while reading a book. "Remember, we created Goetia. So many of its inhabitants fear us since we've managed to imprison the Seven Vice Presidents here."
"And trust us, it was no easy task." Bea chimed in, taking a seat adjacent to Dustin. "Narcissa was the most difficult to subdue. She put up quite a fight."
"Well, she represents the sin of pride, right?" Dustin asked. "No way she'd be a pushover."
"Yeah, but her ego is her biggest flaw." Damian said, walking to them with a tray with four 4x4x2 wooden boxes. Each box had roughly the same thing; a few sushi rolls, a small bowl of steamed vegetables, three rice balls, four mochi, and a small dish of noodles. "Hope you don't mind Japanese food, kiddo."
"Man, that was fast." Dustin replied, taking one of the four boxes before and a pair of chopsticks. "Thanks for the food, by the way."
"Nah, don't sweat it." Damian said as he handed two other boxes to Verne and Bea.
"Anyhow, I'll bet Doji is not going to be quite a pushover." Dustin said, mucking down on a sushi roll. "If he represents wrath, then he must be tough."
"Well, considering how far we've come, I'm sure you can take him down." Damian replied with a confident smirk. "After all, you took down Corvoss, and he's Narcissa's second in command."
"Yeah, but still." Dustin said before munching down on a mochi.
"You! Human!"
Dustin choked a bit, turning his head to see two figures. Both resembled samurai dressed in red and black armor with oni masks obscuring their faces.
"Well, so much for a good rest." Damian groaned in annoyance.
One of the samurai pulled out a parchment and presented to him. "An invitation from Lord Doji himself."
With confusion, Dustin accepted the parchment. He unrolled it and began reading.
"Dustin Hogan, bearer of the Digitrix." Dustin read. "If this parchment had found you, then I, Doji, challenge you to a special match. It will be held in Enma Stadium. Do not keep me waiting!"
Dustin filed the parchment, looking to the two men. "Alright. Tell him I'll see him there!"
***
In his chambers, Doji was training for his upcoming match when the two men from earlier came in.
"My lord." The two men said in unison, bowing.
"The human has accepted your challenge." Tmone of the samurai said, making Doji smirk and chuckle.
It was noon, Sunset and company were hanging out by the portal to Equestria.
"So, how do you think he's doing?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"Dunno." Applejack shrugged.
Suddenly, Sunset felt her phone, urging her to pick up. On the screen of it was a red symbol shaped like a fiery fist. "What the…?" Sunsst asked in shock.
The others corroded around her, seeing the sum of before the screen began to show what like like a live event in Japan.
"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. We are coming at you live with a special event hosted by the lord of wrath Doji!"
"DOJI?!" They collectively asked out in disbelief.
Back in Gokuen Prefecture, the sport announcer, who resembled a blue oni with yellow eyes and dressed in a traditional Japanese hakama.
"Here, Doji will challenge a visitor from the gumannworld, Dustin Miller!" The sport announcer said as the images of both Doji and Duatin appeared. "This Dustin Miller is no ordinary human, I assure you folks. For he has some rather extraordinary traits!" A series video clips appeared, each one showing his fights with the previous Vice Presidents. "That's right folks, this young man can transform into various inhabitants from Cyberspace."
The cameraman turned his attention to the audience, roaring in excitement.
"And it likes like it's a full house tonight. Almost everybody in town is here!" The announcer exclaimed. "And of course, lord Doji has even request that this event to be broadcasted by a certain group of humans."
The gang were wide-eyed in shock upon seeing what was being displayed.
"Stay tuned folks, for the fight will begin in a few minutes." The announcer said before the Sunset's phons screen began to show ads of various brands in Gokuen Prefecture.
"We've got to get Allister, Principle Celestia, and Vice-Principle Luna!" Twilight said. "They're going to want to see this!"
"How did that ugly red bastard even manage to broadcast this to my phone!?" Sunset asked in total bewilderment.
In the stadium, Corvoss was standing to a large broadcast tower, where a small bipedal turtle-like creature was tending to a computer.
Corvoss was taking bets from various civilians, smirking as he accepted the many bets.
"One at a time, please." Corvoss said with a chortle.
"Taking bets, I see." Succubelle said as she and Narcissa approached.
"Succubelle. Lady Narcissa." Corvoss greeted. "Come to enjoy Doji's little show, intake it?"
"I'm afraid I have other business to attend." Narcissa replied.
"For me, I'm just here for the brothel." Succubelle replied with a salacious smirk. "I hear this place has some rather fine ones."
"Of course you would, harlot." Corvoss reolied with a roll of his eyes. "Me though, I honestly cannot wait to see the look of defeat on Doji's face when the boy trounced him."
"Keep in mind that you got your feathered ass kicked as well, Corvoss!" Succubelle reminded with a shit eating grin. "So don't pretend like you've won."
"It's hard to forget when you keep reminding me, wench!" Corvoss scoffed. "Go and have your gin while I will be raking in quite possibly the biggest pay day of my existence!"
***
In the center of the arena, Dustin was waiting patiently for Doji to arrive. Luckily, he didn't have to wait long, for he saw Doji approach the arena.
"So, you came afterall." Doji said eith a grin.
"I just want get the hell out of this place dude." Dustin declared. "Should we go over any rules here?"
"Only one rule." Doji reolied, popping his knuckles. "Don't die!"
Dustin dialed up his Digitrix, then with a tap of a button, he transformed into Prime-8.
With a ring of a gong, the fight had begun. Doji lit his hands on fire while Prime-8 banged his chest. And with that, the two charged at each other.
Doji delivered a punch across Prime-8's face, but the eight-armed gorilla quickly shot back with a punch in the gut with two arms before a punch in the face from his main left arm.
"Yes, these it!" Doji declared with a chuckle, wiping a trail of blood from his chin. "Give me your all, boy!"
Normally Prime-8 wouldn't get a hot heat, but Doji's influence actually made him flare his nostrils before banging his chest again and filled him full of adrenaline due to the new found anger
"You want it, you got it big red!" Prine-8 declared before charging at Doji. But Doji smirked and kneed him in the gut before delivering a roundhouse to send him away.
Prime-8 however snarled, growing furiously before charging at Doji again. Using all eight of his arms to deliver a blinding barrage of punches. But Prime-8 wasn't done yet, for he went for suplex, then went for a body slam.
Doji was able to shove him off due to his greater strength and delivered an uppercut. Prime-8 retaliated by backhanding him before going for a piledriver.
In Celestia's office, the others were absolutely shocked upon seeing this.
"My goodness!" Celestia gasped in disbelief. "He's never acted this vicious."
"It's Doji's inflicence!" Allister said in concern. "Not only do the seven vice presidents embody the seven sins, but each one can spread the sin they represent.
"And Doji represents wrath! A sin if anger and rage!" Sunset muttered, a sense of fear going through her. "So Dustin is fighting without thinking!"
"And I'll bet that's what Doji wants!" Adagio chimed in. "If he and the other vice presidents spread their respective sin, then they must become empowered by it as well!"
"Oh, I can't bare to watch this!" Fluttershy muttered, covering her eyes while struggling to contain her tears as Salazar rubbed her back in comfort.
Doji cackled wickedly as delivered a right hook, making Prine-8 stumble.
"Come now, boy!" Doji taunted. "You must not be giving it your all!"
"You want my all?!" Prim-8 snarled viciously. "THEN I'LL GIVE YOU MY ALL!" Prime-8 then left into the air before descending towards Doji, who only smirked ad Prime-8 delivered one might wallop.
But Doji chuckled, grabbing Prime-8 by the throat and throwing him away. "I can do this all day, boy!"
"I don't have that kinda time!" Prime-8 roared furiously before charging at Doji again and was about to punch. But Doji countered by elbowing him across the face, then delivering an uppercut before knocking himbto the ground with a roundhouse.
Prime-8 was about to get back up, but Doji grabbed him by the head and repeated shoved his face into the ground with enough force to shake the ground slightly. He dis this multiple times, all the while smirking with sadistic glee.
He then grabs Doji by the legs and began tossing him around like he were a ragdoll. Then with a wicked laugh, he went for a pileriver and tossed him away.
Prime-8 was battered, badly bruised, and beaten. He struggled to get up as Doji approached him, kicking him across the face. Prime-8 had reached his limits and changed back to Dustin in a bright blue flash.
"And now, it's time to put an end to this little pest!" Doji growled, chuckling while popping his knuckles again as he approached his fallen foe.
"No!" Sunset called out.
"Come on, sugar! Get up!" Applejack called out. "Ya gotta get up!"
"You can beat that ugly freak!" Rainbow Dash chimed in. "Come on dude!"
Dustin was still struggling to get back up, but Doni pinned his head down with his foot. Doji grinned with malicious intent before raising his foot up.
But suddenly, the Digitrix began beeping before Dustin was enveloped in the familiar barcode dome.
"What?!" Doji asked in surprise.
In the dome, Dustin levitated as both Fraakshow and Rainbow Rocks materialized and slowly began to inch towards him. Once the three made contact, they were enveloped in bright flash.
Once the light faded, the surrounding environment was pitch blackness.
A glowing violet eye then shined through the darkness before the new figure showed itself as it lights shined on him. Most of his body was composed of purple colored crystal while the rest of it was composed of black stone like obsidian. His forearms were bulkier and had purple crystal blades, his legs lacked any fest and had a blade protruding from the heel, the right side of his face was obscured by a crystal bang, and he had a single crystal protrusion on either side of his face.
The new transformation seemed to be walking along a catwalk, his arm blades shinning with a violet glos before crossing his arms.
"EDGELORD!" The new form called out in a voice that sounded calm yet fierce as the data dome surrounding him vanished.
(Transformation Index)
The gang were absolutely stunned by the new form Dustin had assumed.
"What in tarnation?!" Applejack asked just as bewildered as the others.
"What just happened?" Aria asked.
"I dunno… but it looks awesom!" Rainbow Dash said with a smirk.
Doji was surprised at first, but he then had a smirk.
"Haven't had enough, huh?" Doji taunted. "I like imthat in an opponent!" Doji went to punch Edgelord.
But suddenly, with near impossible speed, Edgelord countered by slashing as Doji's arm, making him yell and back away.
Doji saw the cut was dripping blood, much to his shock. "You… you… you struck me!" Doji muttered, taken completely by surprise. "You've actually struck me."
"The way I see it, you've got two choices." Edgelord said. "You can either back down, or I'll bloody up your ugly ass in less than 50 seconds." Edgelord's eye glowed brightly as he spoke. "And I'm very tempted towards the latter."
Doiji growled furiously upon hearing that. "You dare bark orders at me? ME?!" Doji asked, his temper fading away. "I DO NOT TAKE ORDERES FROM MY INFERIORS!!!" Doji then charged at Edlelord in a blind rage.
But Edgelord's arm blades glowed bright before Edgelord dashed towards him with unimaginable speed before striking at him, slashing at him repeatedly with his blade arms.
With hkw fast Edgelord was moving, he seemed practically invisible while Doji was being bombarded as cuts and lacerations appeared on him. Everyone in the crowd was dumbfounded by what they were bearing witness too.
Verne, Damian, and Bea were also amazed by what they saw.
The gang watched on, truly taken aback by what they were seeing.
"Holy crap!" Sonata muttered in total shock.
"Dude! Look at him go!" Salazar muttered.
"Man! Even I can't move that fast!" Rainbow Dash said out of awe.
"What exactly did he change into?" Allister pondered in shock. "I've never seen a DLF like that before!"
Back at the arena, Doji was still struggling to process what was happening right now as he was continuously being bombarded with slashes.
After a few more strikes, Edgelord appeared before Doji, his arm blades glowing a bright violet. "HIYA!" And with a cross slash, Edgelord slashed at Doji's chest leaving a huge x-shape marking in his chest.
Doji struggled to stand as he wobbled before falling on his back, truly exhausted from the fight as Edgelord glared at the fallen oni.
"Now then!" Edgelord aimed his right arm blade at Doji's neck. "Tell me where the portal is!"
Doji snarled and snorted hisn nostrils.
***
The four arrived at the edge of the village, seeing the portal. The portal resembled a red Tori gate with a red and orange spiral in the middle of it.
Without any hesitation, the four entered the portal.

Doji was seething aa he was wrapped in gauze.
"I can't believe that bastard got the upper hand again!" Doji snarled
Corvoss was counting the various Cryptocurrencies he rallied up from the betting. "My, quite a fortune I've made."
"You were taking bets?!" Doji snapped.
"Yes,I was." Corvoss replied with a snicker. "And I can't even tell you how many have bested for the boy." Doji growled angrily at that claim. "Oh relax, more people betted for your sake. But of course, those fools lost just about nearly every cent they've had."
Dustin, Damian, Verne, and Bea were trekking through a vast canyon in a dry and arrived dester.
"This is Yenaldooshi Canyon?" Dustin asked.
"Yes. And it's also where Derma lives." Damian replied. "If there's lne thing the guy's known for, it's shape-shifting."
"Meaning he could be around and we might not even know it." Dustin theorized. "In which case, we better keep our eyes peeled."
As the four walked, a creature reselling a condor obeyed in bony armor wa observing them.
***
After a few minutes of walking, the four stopped to rest beneath the shade of a large Boulder.
"Ugh… God!" Dustin groaned out as he wiped beads of sweat off of his brow. "Abd I thought Chasm Cove was hot! You could sweat your balls off out here!"
Suddenly, a howling sound was heard, making the four stand att attention.
"What was that?" Dustin asked, a bit unnerved.
Dustin would get his answer when an anthropomorphic coyote appeared before them. It had a long flowing mane and a bushy tail, it's eyes were red in color, and it had four sharp claws on each hand. Its teeth gnashing as it growled at them.
"Oh great!" Damian declared, his fists alight. "A Therianus latrans!"
"Careful! That could be Derma!" Verne stated, but a bunch of other therianus latrans then showed up, all surrounding them.
"Care to explain these thing?" Dustin asked Verne.
"Therianus latrans are kind of like werewolves, minus the human-wolf transformations. Despite their humanoid appearance, their quite feral minded."
"So simply, they're animals." Dustin theorized, smirking. "This shouldn't be difficult at all!"
In a flash of blue lights, Dustin had changed into…
"ROCKWEILER!" The anthropomorphic canine roared out with a growl. "Alright Wile E. Coyote! Bring it!"
The leading therianus letrans howled, and the entire pack charged. The leader of the pack attacked Eockweiler while the others attended to Verne, Bea, and Damian.
Rockweiler pushed the pack leader away, but two more pounced at him. Rockweiler however simply grabbed them before smashing their heads to get her and tossed them away.
Damian was firing fireballs at some of the anthropomorphic coyotes while Verne fired bolts of electricity. Bea stood behind the three, unaware that one of the humanoid coyotes was about to attack her.
But fortunately, Rockweiler noticed and grabbed the beast by the scruff of the neck before tossing it to a nearby Boulder.
"Bea, can't you use your water and ice powers here?" Rockweiler asked.
"I'm afraid I can't, sadly." Bea replied with a shake if her head.
"She uses water in the air to use her power!" Verne advised. "Sadly, there's hardly any around here."
"Oh." Rockweiler muttered before another one of anthro canines attacked from behind. Rockweiler was able to take the beast down by falling backwards into the ground and crushing it under his weight.
But more and more of the anthropomorphic coyotes just kept coming.
"Alright! I've had e ought of this!" Rockweiler groaned in annoyance before raising his arms upwards, causing a large fissure to appear beneath the mass of therianus latrans to fall I to it before sealing it back up. Those that remained knew that they were outmanned, so their best course of action was to retreat.
"Yeah! That's right Scooby gang! You better run!" Rockweiler called out with a smug grin before changing back to Dustin.
"We better get moving!" said Damian. "Who know what else will come at us?"
And with that, the four continued to walk.
***
It had been a few hours, and the gang were still trekking through the cabin.
"How long is this thing?!" Dustin groaned out.
"Help! Somebody help"
Dustin looked around, and there he saw an elderly man struggling to stand with his cane. And he was being hounded by lizards abkut the size of a small dog.
Each lizard has bright-yellow eyes, red-rimmed eyelids, scale color ranging from a greenish color, an orange color, and a yellow color, and exactly 11 spots. Their tail were long and they had red neck frills.
"Yellow Dotted Basilisks!" Bea gasped in shock at the scene. "That poor old man's trouble. A sin gle bite from those lizards and he'll be done for."
"Not if I got a say in it!" Dustin declared before whistling. "Hey you bunch of handbags!" The lizards looked to him and began running towards him. Dustin however smirked before being enveloped in a blue light, transforming into Indestructile.
"Bring it, you little shots!" Indestructile declared before firing a stream of acid at the lizards, destroying each and every one of them. "That was easy." Indestructile stopped the Digitrix symbol on his shoulder with his tail, changing back to Dustin.
Dustin then ran to the elderly man and helped him up.
"Young man… you saved my life." The elderly man said thankfully. "Thank you.'
"Nor prob." Dustin replied.
"Oh, you poor man." Bea said, approaching the elder man. "It must be sweltering hot out here."
"Yeah, you must be burning out here!" Dustin said, looking to a shaded spot. "Come on, there's some shade over there." Dustin and Bea helped walk the elderly man to the shade.
"My, thank you so much." The elderly man said in gratitude. "I'm Blackfoot, by the way."
"I'm Dustin." Sustin introduced with a smile before motioning to Bea. "This is Bea." Dustin notions to Verne and Damian. "And those guys are Damian and Verne."
"A pleasure." Blackfoot said with a nod. "How can I ever repay you?"
"No need. Just seeing you…" Dustin said before realizing something. "Hey. Maybe you know the location of the portal."
"Ah, yes I do." The elderly man replied with a nod. "I've been here long enough to know its surroundings."
"Well, we appreciate it, but I think we should get going." Verne said as he began to walk. "Come along!"
"Verne, we can't just leave him here!" Bea protested, motioning to Blackfoot. "He was just attacked by Yellow Dotted Basilisks!"
"Yeah man!" Dustin agreed. "He could lead us to the portal!"
"Immcertain we can find it ourselves!" Verne said, clearly showing distrust towards Blackfoot.
"Dude, this old geezer nearly got mauled!" Damian said, walking towards the old man. "Besides, it's three against one here."
Verne was about to protest against this, but it's true that this was a one-sided argument.
"Oh… very well." Verne sighed in defeat. "Lead the way, sir."
"Of course." Blakcfoot said as Dustin and Bea helped him up. "Be sure to stay close. There are plenty of deadly creatures lurking about here."
And with that the gang walked off, all the while Verne was giving Blackfoot a skeptical look.
***
The five had stopped near a watering hole after a few hours of walking.
"Aw yeah!" Damian said as he rant to the water, taking a drink from it as Blackfoot walked to one of the plants near the water.
With a tug, Blackfoot pulled out what looked like a wild onion in the size of an orange and was a deep maroon in color.
"Ooh! Bladder Roots!' Bea said as she pulled out another of the plants and began munching down on the onion-like root, her face lighting up in glee as she ate it.
"Those look pretty good, actually." Dustin said as he pulled out another Bladder Root, eyes widening before talking another bite.
But suddenly, they heard what sounded like a ping grunting. They look to see what looked like a large boar with a gray fur coat, long straight tusks, a buzzsaw blade on its back, and brown eyes.
"A lancetusk." Blackfoot muttered in surprise as the monstrous boar paid them and took a drink from the water. And from it came more of its kind, some were even piglets.
One of the piglets then took notice of Dustin and trotted towards him out of curiosity, grunting as it sniffed him.
"Oh, well look at you." Dustin said, slowly placing his hand to the piglet, the piglets sniffing its hand before nuzzling it, and he pets the piglet with a smile. "You are just too cute."
Suddenly, a screech sound was heard. Then boar-like creatures perked their ears up and began before they ran off.
"Uh-oh!" Damian looked up, seeing a large bird flying high in the sky.
The bird resembled a condor and was roughly the size of a semi truck with a wingspan measuring up to 100 feet, it had a large crest on its forehead, and it's wings were both copper with a sickle-like claw.
"A King Roc!" Verne cried out in terror. "Run!"
The five ran for it, and the enormous bird noticed them and swooped down towards them.
"Shit! He's ganging up on us!" Dustin declared in terror as the giant bird was getting closer.
"We should scatter!" Verne advised.
"I've got a better idea!" Dustin said, readying the Digitrix and accessing. "Einstrike! Sonicada!"
And suddenly, Dustin was enveloped in a bar code egg dome for a few moments until vanishing to reveal a new form that resembled a yellow bipedal beetle mixed with a taser.
"BUG ZAPPER! " The beetle-like form called out before unfurling his wings and taking flight.
Given Name: Bug Zapper
The fusion of Sonicada and Einstrike, Bug Zapper is a simply named bug that provides a rather electrifying appearance. With a durable exoskeleton and the ability to generate electrical shocks of up to 10,000 volts, this electric insect will show you that he is lightning before the thunder.
"Alright you oversized chicken!" Bug Zapper declared, his arms sparked with electricity. "Get ready for the shock of a lifetime!"
The giant bird shrieked and flew towards Bug Zapper, but the electric insectoid fired bolts of electricity to the bird. But the attack handle did any damage.
"Crap!" Bug Zapper groaned before flying away as the King Roc flew past him. But Bug Zapper remembered the watering hole and had an idea.
"Hey you big stupid pidgeon!" Bug Zapper called out, grabbing the big bird glare at him. "Come at me!" Bug Zapper followed up, flipping the bird with all four of his arms.
That got the bird angry as it flew towards him again. And Bug Zapper flew towards the watering hole. And when Bug Zapper got close enough to the watering hole, he looked at the giant bird. "That's right, come closer!"
When the bird was getting close, Bug Zapper ran off, and the King Roc fell into water. And with that, Bug Zapper then unleashed a blast of electricity at the soaked giant bird. The bridge shrieked in agony until the electricity ceased. In pain, the giant bird got out of the water, shook itself dry, and flew away.
"Yeah! Fly off!" Bug Zapper antagonized.
***
After a long trek, the had arrived at the portal, with sides consisting of two totem poles with a blank of wood making up the top and a green and red vortex in the middle of it.
"Finally!" Dustin sighed in relief. "Thank God!"
But suddenly, the four were struck by white electricity, and ice formed on them to freeze them in place.
"Too bad you won't be able leave." Blackfoot chuckled before he emitted a bright green glow. And moments later, Blackfoot revealed himself to be Derma.
"Derma!" Damian gasped in shock. "Damn it! I should have known!"
'That's right!" Derma replied with a smirk. "You idiots couldn't have been the wiser."
"So this ugly fuck is Derma?" Dustin asked, unnerved by Derma's appearance. "You could use a skin graft!"
"Yea, I'm Derma. Embodiment of envy!" Derma introduced himself. "You've been a real pain in the ass, kid!" Derma then glowed green again, this time changing into… Indestructile?! "But no more!"
"The Hell?!" Dustin muttered in disbelief.
"Surprised kid?" Derma asked with a chuckle. "But that's not the only surprise I have in store!"
Derma, still as Indestructible, formed the same white crystal armor that Gemplified Freakshow had on his back, along with developing the purple crystal arm-blades on his forearms.
"Oh crap!" Dustin murmured in shock.
"That's right!" Derma replied with a chuckle. "I've learned the abilities of your new transformations!"
Dustin was surprised at first, but hie then had a smirk. "In that case…" Duatin said before transforming into Sonicada while breaking free from the ice.
Derma was about to strike, but Sonicada released a high frequency sound, making Derma and the others cover their ears. But Derma was in the most pain as he tried to block out the noise.
"AAAAAHHH! MY EARS! " Derma roared out in pain as he changed back to his normal form.
And when that was done, Sonicada ceased his attack before grabbing Verne, Bea, and Damian before flying into the portal.
Derma got up, till rubbing his ears while seething in rage.
"Dammit!" Derma groaned out in defeat. "Little bastard got the jump on me!"

OP – Keys of Revelations [Kingdom Hearts Style] by Infinite Rivals
Dustin and his three appeared in a green and red vortex, the four appearing before a large castle that looked like it was made of polished metal. They looked around and saw lots of mirrors with the layout of the area.
"Mirrors?" Dustin asked with surprise.
"We've finally arrived at Chateau de Sanguine Marie!" Verne replied with a sigh. "The final zone."
"Bravo."
The four turned around to see Narcissd herself standing near a piece of rock.
"Speak of the devil!" Declares Verne.
"I'm impressed, Dustin Miller." replied Mercurymon. "Very few have made it this far."
"So you're the top dog." Dustin stated.
"Yes, I am." Narcissa said with a smirk. "But i'm afraid this is where your journey ends!"
Suddenly, the mirror face shined, and Dustin was suddenly sucked into Narcissa's mirror exteriors.
"Duatin!' Bea and Damian called out as Narcissa vanished.
"Dammit!" Verne growled.
Dustin reappeared in a bright light, somehow ending in a different area. He loose around, seeing that he was standing on a silvery reflective ground while the sky was a deep purple.
And there before him stood Narcissa's human self, her true self, casting a malicious grin.
"The sooner I kick your ass, the sooner I finally get out of here!" Duztin declared before changing into Prime-8.
"Eager to perish, insee" Narcissa replied with a chortle. "Very well then." Prime-8 charged at her, but she suddenly vanished.
"What the..?!" Prine-8 asked while looked around, but stiffened as he could sense her presence behind him.
Prine-8 turned and was about to punch, but she vanished once again. Narcissa reappeared at his right.
"I'm right here." Narcissa taunted before vanishing and reappearing at his left. "No. Here." Narcissa then vanished. And suddenly, six Narcissas appeared, surrounding him.
Prine-8 looked around, taken by surprise.
"Which one of is is the real one?" One Narcissa spoke with a taunting grin. "Is it me?"
Another Narcissa slapped Prime-8 across the face."Or me?"
Prime-8, out of sheer frustration, slammed into the ground, creating an immense shockwave that destroyed all bu one of the Narcissus. Prime-8 was about to punch, but she vanished again.
A series of mirrors then appeared around him, each one reflecting Narcissa's image.
"That's it!" Prime-8 popped his knuckles. "Let's see if breaking mirrors really gives you bad luck!" Prime-8 was about to punch a mirror in front of him, only for his reflection to punch him back.
Prime-8 stumbled a bit, reeling in shock before his reflection on a mirror to his right punched him again.
Prime-8 groaned before tapping I to the Digitrix symbol, changing to Sonicada and flying out of the mirror circle. Narcissa however appeared on top of him and knocked him out of the sky with a downward kick.
Sonicada got back up, and Narcissa reappeared before him.
"You fucking bitch!" Sonicada growled before changing to Firefox. Firefox was about to strike her with his claws, but she vanished once again.
Multiple mirrors then surrounded him, forming a narrow pathway. Firefox ran, but hisnreflection on each mirror sent powerful fireballs at him. Firefox managed to dodge most of them, but he did get hit by a few. Narcissa then replaced in front of him and delivered a roundhouse to knock him away. Another ring of mirrors surrounded both him and Narcissa, and from these mirrors emerged mirror clones of Firefox. Their eyes glowing bright red and having wicked smirks.
"Oh shit!" Firefox groaned out in frustration.
"Cease him, my subjects!" Narcissa commanded, and the Firefox reflections obeyed by ganging un him.
Meanwhile, Damian, Bea, and Verne were storming the castle, trying desperately to find their friend.
"Shit!" Damian swore, looking around. "Where the Hell is she?!"
Verne opened a set of doors, and there he found Narcissa's mirror frame standing idly.
"There!" Verne said, and Bea and Damian entered the room.
Suddenly, Derma, Doji, Succubelle, and Corvoss appeared, blocking their way.
"Why the rush?" Derma asked out.
"We can't have you darlings ruin the fun." Succubelle chimed in as Doji shot a stream of fire at the three.
Corvoss followed it up by flapping his wings to send a mighty gust of wind.
Succubelle unleashed her vine tentacles at Bea, but Damian came in and grabbed them before lighting them on fire, making Succibelle yell out in pain.
"I hope young Dustin's faring well in there!" Verne murmured to himself.
Firefox was warding off his mirror clones. Firedox then got on all fours and lit his tails on fire before spinning them rapidly, destroying every mirror clone. The mirrors that surrounded him vanished, and an army of Narcissas surrounded him.
Firefox changed into Einstrike, then charged hisnhands with electricity which spread across the floor, electrocuting the army of Narcissas. Many of them shattered like glass, but only one, the real one, remained.
Einstrike then fired a blast of electricity towards Narcissa, but she extended her arm and absorbed the electricity before redirecting it. Einstrike sidestepped before changing to Lightspeed and dashing towards her.
Narcissa smirked and vanished, making Lightspeed stop in her tracks.
"KYU TATSU NO KAGUTSUCHI! "
Nine flaming dragon heads struck Lightspeed before she could even react. Making her skid along the floor and revert back to Dustin.
Narcissa smirked, developing Prime-8's eight arms and delivered a barrage of punches before sending him back with an uppercut. Dustin struggled to get up, but Narcissa pinned him down with her right foot.
"Face it, you little whelp!" Narcissa declared, willing a large ax in her hand. "You'll never escape! I've seen all of your tricks! And even then your best was not enough!" Narcissa looks to the Digitrix, smiling wickedly as she raises her ax. "You've used that device for the last time!"
But suddenly, the Digitrix began beeping yet again before Dustin changed to Freakshow. With a smirk, he became intangible and phased out of Narcissa's grip before becoming tangible again and reverting back to Dustin.
"Not all of my tricks, bitch!" Dustin taunted before readying his Digitrix again. "Softwear! Prismatic Donna!"
And in an instant, Dustin was enveloped in the all to familiar bar code egg dome.
In the dome, Dustin levitated as both Softwear and Prisma Donna materialized and slowly began to inch towards him. Once the three made contact, they were enveloped in bright flash.
Once the light faded, the resulting fusion was visible.
It resembled an older and more robotic version of Rarity, most of her body was black with blue circuit lines, pointed green shoulders, a bright green midsection and stiletto boots.
The new transformation was standing on a podium with camera flashes and cheers surrounding her. She then performed a few kicks before flicking her hair dramatically.
"D-VA! " The new form cried out, blowing a kiss to the crowd as the data dome surrounding her vanished.
Given Name: D-Va
What do you get when you cross the technological sentient article of clothing Softwear and the dazzling stunner Prisma Donna? Well, you get the alluring cybernetic damsel herself, D-Va. With the a technologically advanced body of Softwear combined with the flashy and dazzling appeal of Prisma Donna, D-Va is certainly a robotic ass kicker who is all woman.
Narcissa was stumped at seeing D-VA, and was shocked at seeing how gorgeous she was, even more so than her actually.
"You're … you're more gorgeous than me?!" Narcissa muttered out, jealous rage filling her. "You can't be! I'm the only one deemed worthy of such beauty! Nobody should surpass me!"
"What's the matter bitch?" D-Va taunted. "Jealous that I'm hotter than you?"
That got Narcissa mad, and she growled. "I'LL WIPE THAT SMIRK OFF YOUR FACE! "
D-Va smirked before morphing her arm into a blaster and fired energy pellets at Narcissa. Narcissa span her ax around to deflect each one. D-Va however raised her other arm upwards, making the ax fly out of Narcissa's hands.
Narcissa seethed angrily and vanished before reappearing behind her. D-Va however spun around and kicked her across the face with a roundhouse.
Narcissa was now steaming mad that she conjured twin swords before charging at her in a blind rage. But when she got close enough, D-Va changed her arms into energy blades, knocked the swords out of Narcissa's hands and slashed at her.
"NOOOOOOOOO!!!! " Narcissa cried out as a bright light filled the room.
Back outside, Damian, Bea, and Verne were still dealing with their four adversaries.
Verne decided to end this by stomping an electrically charged floor on the ground, sending a wave of electricity that violently electrocuted the four.
And suddenly, Narcissa's mirror frame shined brightly as Dustin flew out. The light died down to reveal Narcissa's human visage, badly banged up.
"Thank God almighty!" Dustin groaned as he got up while the other four vice presidents were shocked.
"He escaped?!" Corvoss asked, dumbfounded by this.
"Now them!" Duatin tuned to face Narcissa. "Unless you don't want that mirror your in busted, I suggest you tell me where that last portal is!"
Narcissa painted, growling in rage.
"In the courtyard!" Narcissa spoke with a glare. Dustin nodded before turning around and letting his way out.
***
The four arrived in the courtyard, standing in front of a portal that resembled a Gothic mirror frame mad of obsidian with a parole and indigo vortex in the center of it.
"Well, looks like it's the end of the line." Duatin said, looking to the four. "Thanks for the help."
"Our pleasure, Mt boy." Verne nodded as Damian went in to give Dustin a noogie.
"It's been one hell of a rife, dude." Damian said with a chuckle. "You're one cool kid."
"Ooh, it's a shame to see you leave!" Bea said as she embraced Dustin in a tight hug like she was loving mother, crying profusely.
"Hey, none of the waterworks." Dustin said, rubbing her back. Damian joined in on the hug, as did Verne. Eventually, the three separated.
With one final wave, Dustin entered the ortal.

It was now evening in the real world, and the Mane 7 and friends were still worried sick for Dustin's safety in Goetia. They were at Allister's residence, where Allister himself was booting up a computer in case Dustin managed to escape.
"Are you sure that he'll find it?" Aria asked with a bit of uncertainty. "What if he ends up somewhere else?"
"Which is why I'm typing in the coordinates to the portal located in the seventh layer of Goetia." Allister said as he began typing rigorously on the keyboard. "That way he won't end up somewhere that we won't find him. Whether it be another part of the globe, or an entirely different world."
The moment Twilight heard the "different world" part, that piqued her interest. "Wait! You mean anyone who enters into Cyberspace could exit to another world entirely?" Twilight asked in shock and fascination.
"Of course." Allister replied with a shrug. "You see, Cyberspace isn't connected to just this world, but rather any world with technology similar to or greater than ours. Whether it be an alternate version of Earth, or an extraterrestrial planet."
"You're... You're kidding!" Sunset muttered in disbelief. "Is that how you and Dustin ended up here?"
"Yes." Allister replied. "Well, when Dustin first obtained the Digitrix, I simply inputted the coordinates here via voice command. And with a link to Cyberspace, he was transported here. I simply entered directly into Cyberspace and arrived here via a terminal."
"Wait! What about Decibus?" Adagio pondered. "He was from your world too, right?"
"Well, he said that upon death in the physical world, he had arrived in the Deep End. That area is nearly impossible to access, whether you're searching on a computer or traversing through Cyberspace. My guess he worked his way upwards." Allister replied. "Well in Cyberspace it's called the Deep End, while here in the real world it's called the Primarch System."
"The eighth level of the internet?" Sunset asked.
"Absolutely. You see, Cyberspace is divided into levels to 0 to 8, each one being the levels of the internet." Allister explained. After some typing, the code he inputted had been successfully. "Success! Now all we do is wait."
"I just hope he's doing ok in there." Fluttershy muttered. "I still can't believe he's going through that awful place all by himself.
"I wouldn't say that Fluttershy." Allister acknowledged. "Unless I miss my guess, he's probably met with the Tribunal."
"The Tribunal?" Rarity asked.
"So, this Tribunal made Goetia." Applejack pondered. "But for what purpose."
"To contain the Seven Vice Presidents, of course." Allister replied. "The Seven Vice Presidents caused quite a lot of havoc in their wake, so they had to be stopped one way or another."
Succubelle was being tended to by her servants, still furious that she had lost to a human. And the ridicule she was getting from Doji certainly did not help better the situation.
"I seriously can't believe you've got your ass kicked to the curb!" Doji said, laughing like a madman.
"Hey! You and the others saw what happened, big red!" Succubelle hissed in rage.
"Please! I could have easily crushed that miserable little welp like the little bug he is!" Doji scoffed. "He could have used whatever form he wanted, and it he would still lose!"
"Yeah right!" Succubelle replied with a roll of her eyes. "That's if you don't lose your temper! And we all know how you get whenever you get royally pissed!"
"What's that supposed to mean?" Doji asked with a scowl.
"What I mean is that you face him, that temper of yours will only make it easier for him to kick your ugly ass!" Succubelle replied with a scoff. "He may be a kid, but he's not dumb."
"Hey, you're the third most powerful of us, meaning that you outrank even me!" Doji shot back. "And yet you still lost!"
"Which means it would be slight easier for him to take you down." Succubelle replied with a smirk. "You can barely count without using your fingers, you dumbass ox!"
Doji growled angrily as his fists were encased in flames. "I'd watch what I say if I were you!" Doji warned with a snarl. "The last person who was foolish to insult me to my face ended up having their skull mounted on my wall!"
With Dustin
Dustin was looking around, seeing that he had found himself standing in a cove that was mostly sand and large rocks with very few trees and grass patches. The sun hung high in the sky's zenith, and it was sweltering hot.
"Where are we now?" Dustin asked, looking around.
"The Cavernous Cove." Verne replied. "The area of Gluttony, and domain to Monstro."
"With a name like that, the guy's gotta be big." Dustin said with a hint of worry. "So, what are we dealing with here?"
Dustin would get his answer when a roar was heard from the ocean, making him jump and turn to the ocean ahead.
"Oh shit!" Damian muttered out, readying for a fight.
"Was that Monstro?" Dustin asked in shock.
"No." Bea responded. "But you may want to transform into something with electric powers."
Before Dustin could even ask, a large serpentine creature emerged from the water. It was mostly ocean blue with a silvery-cyan underbelly, red stripes on its back, and deep crimson dorsal fin trailing along its back. On its forehead was a single spiraling horn, on its lower jaw were two tentacle-like whiskers. its mouth had razor-sharp teeth and eyes that glowed a bright yellow.
"A Royal Daedalus!" Verne exclaimed. "Not even my strongest electrical attacks will be enough to ward it off!"
Dustin looks to the Digitrix, an idea forming in his head. Then with a tap of the button and tap on the screen, Dustin had changed into Einstrike. "White Digitalisman, Gemplify! LET IT SNOW! " Einstrike emitted a bright white aura before he was enveloped in an egg-shaped dome of barcode that was a mix of white and tiffany blue.
Inside, Einstrike was floating in a white void with snow falling down on him. A unicorn made of bright blue energy then manifested, neighing before trotting its way towards him. When the energy unicorn got close enough to Ensitrike, he placed a hand on the unicorn's head as it placed its horn onto Einstrike's forehead. The contact caused a bright flash to occur before Einstrike was encased in a large chunk of thick ice.
Moments later, cracks started to form on the ice, a bright light seeping through the cracks before the ice chunk broke into pieces, revealing the newly Gemplified Einstrike.
His mechanical prosthetic arm was replaced with a bulky one composed of white crystal, and the Tesla coils had a single white crystal spike protruding from the top. He had a bulky chest plate, leggings, and a gauntlet on his left hand: all composed of white crystal. His hair was now spiked upwards and appeared to be composed of ice.
"From mountain rain and winter air," Einstrike chanted as he landed on the all too familiar square podium that bore the Digitrix symbol, "Comes a natural force both foul and fair!" Eisntrike's arms sparked white electricity before sending the electricity upwards, causing it to strike around him while creating large ice crystals upon impact. "BEWARE THE COLD! " Once the transformation was complete, the egg dome vanished to reveal Einstrike's newly Gemplified form.
"Incredible." Verne muttered in awe. "You hold the Digitalismans."
"Ja, mein freund." Gemplified Einstrike nodded while looking at the beast. "Now then, you piscine aberration! I certainly hope that you have brought some winter clothing, otherwise you are about to suffer from a severe case of frostbite!"
The serpentine sea monster roared in response before sending its tentacle-whiskers at him. But Einstrike grabbed them and emitted white electricity, sending it at the beast. The Royal Daedalus roared as it was overwhelmed with the electricity, all the while layers of ice began forming on it. When Einstrike decided the creature had enough, he released his grip with a triumphant smirk.
"Had enough, hässlich bankert?" Eisntrike taunted with a hint of German in his speech. (AN: hässlich bankert is German for "ugly bastard")
The serpentine giant broke free from the ice but decided to not take its chances and dove back into the safety of the water.
"Man, talk about a cold snap!" Damian said, impressed by what he had seen. "Nice, kid."
"Hey, its what I do..." Einstrike said, but was interrupted when he felt something hit his back. "GAH! WHAT THE... OUCH!" Einstrike yelped as he felt something pinch him, causing him to emit more electricity to freeze whatever was on him. When he felt the thing get off of him, he saw that his attacker resembled a cross between a spider and a crab. "What in the..." Einstrike pondered but was once again interrupted when another one of the arachnid/crustacean hybrids landed onto his face.
"Oh dear!" Bea gasped, seeing a large swarm of the creatures scuttling towards her and the others. "Sand Scavengers!"
"Looks like we're having a crab boil tonight!" Damian said, his hands encased in fire before shooting flames at the Sand Scavengers. Einstrike blasted his freezing lightning at a bunch of them, while Verne and Bea use their respective attacks toward them off. But no matter what they threw out, more kept coming.
"How many of these wretched things are there?!" Einstrike said as he still fired his freezing electricity. But when he saw that these creatures were emerging from the ground, he had an idea. His right arm sparked with white electricity, then with a mighty punch to the ground, he unleashed a mighty surge of freezing lightning, covering a large portion of the sand in a layer of frost while many of the Sand Scavengers that had yet to emerge were frozen. And of course, this ceased the onslaught while many remaining Sand Scavengers fled.
"Yeah, that's right! Scuttle away you vermin!" Einstrike declared before reverting back to Dustin in a blue flash. "What's next!"
Suddenly, Dustin was then pulled back by something while Verne, Bea, and Damian watched on in shock. But they were mortified upon seeing that Dustin was being sucked into the gullet of none other than Monstro as the monstrous cetacean chomped down, imprisoning Dustin, licking his lips like he in satisfaction.
"Nothing like a tasty snack on the beach!" Monstro said, chortling wickedly.
"You briny bastard!" Damian growled furiously. "Either you spit him out or I'll jump down there and fish him out of your blubbery ass!"
"Then come and gem him!" Monstro shot back with a wicked grin. "If you're good swimmers, that is!" And with that, Monstro dove into the water. Damian was about to go in after him, but Verne and Bea stopped him.

Spike was playing with a chewtwoy when suddenly, a bright flash of light caught his attention. Spike turns round, and there he saw Duatin escaping from the computer.
"DUSTIN! " Spike barked happily, running to Dustin and pawing at his leg. "You're back! You're back!"
"Hey there buddy!" Dustin said, picking Spike up and hugging him. "Oh, I've missed you!"
Dustin then heard the sound if a door opening, making him turn to see his friends were by the door, hooked looks on their faces.
"DUSTIN! " Pinkie declared in utfer joy as she darted to Dustin and wrapped her arms around him in a tight hug! "YOU'RE BACK! "
The others joined din on the hug, all of them were happy to see him.
"I'm so glad you're ok!" Fluttershy muttered woth tears rolling down her face.
"You and me both!" Sonata chimed in as she started to tear up.
"Well gad zooks!" Allister said as he walks to him, a relieved smile on his face. "You're back, she and sound!" Allister ruffled Dustin's hair, earning a chuckle from the boy. "
Verne, Damian, amd Bea were watching the touchy reunion through a small rift.
"I am gonna miss that kid." Damian said with a small smile.
"I'm confident we'll cross paths again." Verne replied. "When, who knows."
Fin!
