Area: Castle Keep

After Scootaloo and Twilight defeated Pinkie Pie

Sweetie Belle was finishing her sixth wine glass of the night, "It seems Twilight will be a thorn in our side much more than Scootaloo is on her own. Apple Bloom's secret weapon better work. What's even so special about Rainbow Dash that makes her deserving of being the final hybridized gate? Sure, she's fast, sure, she's hybridized with a ghost, still unsure how Apple Bloom did that, but what does that mean in the end? Because she better show results at this final battle. Well... final battle before the end game." She said with a vile smile on her face, "Yes... Scootaloo'll see that me and Apple Bloom haven't been slumping on our improving, hehehehe..."

Area: Crystal Mines
Year:1798
Scootaloo walked out of the save room with Twilight as they went back to the Ominess Garden... but Scootaloo had an idea, "Let's go to the inverted castle, save to say but we might find something there that could help you better in a combat situation," Scootaloo suggested even knowing that the inverted castle was a harder place that the normal one.

Safe to say Twilight couldn't have objected less.

Area: Bloodstone Mines
Year: 1798

Upon stepping out of the location inverter and moving in the direction of the area where Pinkie was fought, there was another door with a glitched version of a balloon on it, entering the area didn't change area but it did offer something. A "normal" Pinkie Pie who was actually an illusion made to act as the "inverted" version of the hybridized, "Greetings fillies and gentlecolts, what can this bright pink party pony do for you?" Inverted Pie, as the duo called her, said pulling a stand that said "Mo's" on it from thin air... who was Mo?

No matter, Scootaloo walked up to Inverted Pie who held up a sign that read "Now accepting bits..." makes this easier since they had a lot of bits from through the journey. "Uhm... I'm just going to ask if you have any armor that helps me out a decent chuck... and maybe a weapon," to which Inverted Pie nodded, "17300 bits please," which Scootaloo handed easily, getting Twilight both a really good cloak, a good hat, and a decent tome weapon called the Tome of Arms(specifically it was Tome of Arms 3).

Scootaloo also spent some extra bits on healong potions before the two left the little shop and went to where the Rarity door was and found another quint area, "No no, this won't do at all, much too drab for Chaos' tastes," the Inverted Rarity said while looking over a colorful picture... if that was drab, they don't wanna know what isn't drab. Before Twilight and Scootaloo could leave, the Inverted Rarity stopped them, "I'm so sorry darling but your quest will have to wait because I need some help coming up with a new monster type for Chaos..." the Inverted Rarity asserted, giving them her role as monster creator, or well, monster concept creator.

"Hmm, well, what's the most dangerous thing you can think of?" Twilight asked as she and Scootaloo were kind of wanted to help. They had a closer look at the Inverted Rarity while she thought, the Inverted Rarity had a completely unkept style, as if fashion wasn't her priority, her coat was a slightly creepy off-white with blood splatters of various colors kinda thrown about, and her eyes, a dark red as if to symbolize that she belongs to the castle's core and nowhere else.

"Well that's the thing, I seem to have lost my spark, Chaos needs at least one new monster every century and I'm completely without one to give..." Inverted Rarity said, giving Scootaloo an idea, "Well, why not a spellcasting zombie or something along those lines?" Scootaloo suggested, which seemed to give Inverted Rarity to go off of, "A spellcasting zombie... well, technically Chaos did that during Alucard's solo quest but not as a common enemy... hmm... maybe I could... yeah, yeah, IIIDDDEEEAAAA!" Inverted Rarity said as she started painting on the canvas with multi-colored bloods creating what could only be described as a zombie impersonating Twilight when she was a unicorn... at least it looked cool.

Scootaloo and Twilight were gifted with items and bits and left the room as they made their way to the inverted Ominess Gardens.

Area: Harmony Garden
Year: 1798

When entering what Twilight and Scootaloo called the Harmony Garden, Twilight immediately dashed for Fluttershy's room.

Scootaloo and Twilight entered to see a bat pony Fluttershy scolding a bat for eating two fruit instead of one, "Must I tell you everytime that unless you earn it, you can only eat one fruit per day!" she yelled with a fury completely absent in Fluttershy. The bat apologetically squeaked. Inverted Fluttershy looked towards Scootaloo and Twilight, "Ugh, what? Do you want to have me train your pathetic excuse of a familiar or what?" She spoke in annoyence. "Actually... it's about information regarding the last hybridized pony and the guardian of the key to it," Scootaloo stated.

Inverted Fluttershy really seemed to be unable to care less. "Oh, Blue Fast, she's at the Castle keep, you can only reach her through this castle, as for the guardian, I think White Creative was working on it or something," Inverted Fluttershy(Implied to be called Yellow Foster due to the role she has) said as Scootaloo nodded and left the room with Twilight while having to avoid attacks from Corpseweeds(Which had actual pony heads in place of the human ones, Scootaloo still hates Corpseweeds because of their gunk shooting abilities.)

Scootaloo and Twilight fought through the Harmony Garden and eventually got to where there's a save point in the Ominess Garden which revealed a larger area containing access to a save point and even a boss door.

Scootaloo got the axe subweapon and went into the boss room.

When Scootaloo entered the boss room, at first it seemed empty but then vines sprouted all around the room and eventually a giant flower creature sprouted on the ceiling(floor). One attack to this thing revealed its name to be Supergrowth. Supergrowth made some of the vines around the room start trying to attack Scootaloo while also throwing down some Une and Corpseweeds. "Ugh... I can already tell I don't like this boss..." Scootaloo commented as she finished off a Corpseweed.

Scootaloo cast Petra Spirit as Supergrowth closed its petals seeming to make the damage null. Safe to say Scootalop wasn't happy... she flapped her wings to get to Supergrowth and waited for the petals to open before chucking axes at it. She got three in before the vines started trying to attack her again.

But then she had an idea. It's a plant based boss, she has Hellfire as a spell... what's stopping her from burning the plant to the ground?

Scootaloo trotted to the center of the room, now being directly under Supergrowth, and she lit her horn to cast Hellfire, hitting a vine and causing a chain reaction of Supergrowth burning down... Scootaloo watching with a smirk on her face. At the end of the fight... she just got an HP up. "Oh well, this was an optional battle but at least I'm not leaving empty hoofed,"

Scootaloo nodded as she looked towards Twilight, handing her the HP up, "Drink that," Scootaloo stated, which Twilight responded with a nod and she drank it.

As they went farther, they found that they couldn't go beyond the Harmony Garden as there are any more open doors and this means they can't visit the Inverted Applejack to see what she's like.

Area: Ominess Garden
Year: 1798

The stay here was not very long as they immediately started towards the top, towards the Castle Keep.

Area: Floating Graveyard
Year: 1798

Upon entering the area Scootaloo's calling the Floating Graveyard. This area was very short. It went up about 3 floors with the final floor having the warp room, a save room, and the boss room. But they weren't going there yet, most of the enemies needed for Estella's potion materials were in this specific area. So they grinded.

And after getting about 15 of the 17 materials in this area, they both really wanted to finish this up. Maybe one of them should have had a Lucky Charm to boost their LUK.

It took about 30 minutes but now it's over. 17 of the 17 in this area were acquired. Just three more that were going to be in the Castle Keep. Twilight teleported to the Library of Souls to give the materials to Estella and returned with several things including a new magic cloak that was hers and hers alone. They called that the Harmony Cloak. They entered the boss room.

All Scootaloo and Twilight saw upon entering the boss room was a familiar sight... a unicorn Twilight, she turned her head towards Scootaloo and Twilight before doing a shushing gesture. The fake Twilight cast a shield that blocked damage but told them it's name, Darklight.

Darklight, like Twilight was as a unicorn, seemed like a prodigy at what magic she used. Every attack was carefully calculated for precision to deal the most damage, even just firing hard magic was a calculated decision. But Darklight seemed to have the same magic limit as Scootaloo and Twilight... her MP. While it did have a lot, it wasn't unlimited has shown by it using a Mana Prism.

"Ugh, why did this monster have to be so damn good at using projectiles?" Twilight commented when Scootaloo used reflect to block damage and even reflect it back to Darklight.

Darklight's shield took the hit which used MP. "Attack the shield a hell of a lot, if we can, we'll drain her of her MP before she can use a Mana Prism and deal some damage," Scootaloo said as she got closer to Darklight to attack with her Fatal Wind, Twilight nodded and flared her wings to fire many small magic balls.

To say the overwhelmed the shield would be a lie. But they did destroy it and Darklight seemed to not even notice. While Darklight was using a Mana Prism, Scootaloo and Twilight bombarded Darklight with attacks. It died not long later.

The familiar scene of a kay falling down and one look at the key did confirm... they saved Rainbow Dash for last. Grabbing the key with it's red lightning bolt jewel, they left.

Area: Castle Keep
Year: 1798

Entering the Castle Keep proved what Scootaloo thought, all the enemies that had materials still, were in this area. Interestingly, there was a door that just didn't exist and another that was blocked by bone trees.

The one that didn't exist would probably open upon beating Rainbow Dash, and the bone trees would disappear upon defeating Apple Bloom. So left and right weren't options... just straight ahead.

Luckily they found the warp room and a save point before they had to fight Rainbow Dash.

Area: Rainbow's room?
Year: 1798

For once Apple Bloom was nowhere to be seen, instead they just saw Rainbow Dash in the center of the room... as a ghost. "Rainbow Dash? What's going on?" Scootaloo said trying to sound as innocent as possible considering she knows full well what is. However Rainbow Dash floated up and out of reach before flying at hyper-sonic speeds, grabbing objects and throwing them towards Scootaloo and Twilight.

"Did they?! Did they actually mame sure she was near impossible to hit?!" Twilight asked in shock as she tried shooting a ball of magic at Rainbow but she moved right past it. Rainbow retailiated by throwing a chair at her.

"Now I see why they saved her for last... she's going to be the hardest to even hit!!" Scootaloo exclaimed as she tried using Petra Spirit on Rainbow... it missed.

Twilight tried the Stopwatch and it didn't even slow Rainbow Dash down so Apple Bloom thought of everything.

This was not meant to be easy. The two noticed that Rainbow Dash stopped moving when she threw something but she started moving again immediately upon throwing it... well, not immediately but near immediately.

That would have to be the opportunity to attack. The problem was that they couldn't predict when Rainbow Dash would throw something, she moved too fast and stopped moving randomly to throw something.

And sadly it didn't seem like her ego could be used as a weapon this time... Fabricator was an egomaniac similiar to Rainbow but Rainbow wasn't doing anything but running on instinct and lies.

She was the secret weapon. So Scootaloo waited patiently while Twilight tried and failed to attack Rainbow Dash. When Rainbow stopped, Scootaloo teleported and attacked her from the air. Ending the fight immediately.

Twilight immediately saved Rainbow just to avoid having to suffer that again and when it was over. Scootaloo and Twilight were teleported.

Area: Castle Keep
Year: 1798

Scootaloo and Twilight were in front of the save room. When they both nodded. They went and saved.

Area: Fatal Arena
Year: 1798

Apple Bloom sat in her arena, all of the mane 6 members who were saved through Scootaloo's adventure were in the stands. "Come at meh, ya fuckin' chicken."
