Equestrians

Luna, Twilight and Fluttershy arrived to see the final part. Flutterhsy turned to Discord “Let’s get started. Discord nodded and started the projection.

Sunset

Sunset and the Slayer arrived at the Steppe, a place on Argent D’Nur. VEGA informed them “To get to Immora, you must power the Gate of Divum with the Wraith’s crystal and pass through to where the Dark Lord resides - he is waiting for you.” The duo charge forward eliminating the demons in their way as they travel forward. During their travels they kept following the green wolf that activated torches while they slaughtered demons.

The Intern contacted them “I’m detecting an energy signature from Commander Valen.”

Sunset frowned “So the Commander is contacting us? Why would the Betrayer want to speak to us?” Sunset shook her head as she and Slayer pressed forward. They headed into an abandoned chapel.

They found a hologram of Commander Valen, the Betrayer “My son’s curse has been lifted…and I atone for my sins.” He passed his hammer which materialised into reality as the Slayer grabbed it. Sunset shrugged as the floor beneath them began descending, it then fractured causing them to land in an arena full of demons which they quickly slaughtered.

Sunset and Slayer charged forward, annihilating the demons in their way including a few stone Imps which Sunset easily shattered with her bare hands. Soon they arrived in a courtyard with a giant torch in the centre surrounded by smaller sconces, as they walked forward VEGA informed them “This is the Torch of Kings. Lighting it signifies to all that a warrior seeks passage to the World Spear.”

Slayer and Sunset grabbed the torch in one the sconces lighting it together. The giant torch glowed, firing blue energy into the sky. VEGA informed them “The corrupted priests forbid use of this beacon. If there are any free tribes of Argent D’Nur - all will see this light and know what your mission is here.”

The Intern informed them “We’re still a days walk away from the World Spear…”A draconics creature landed before them and they hopped on it’s back. Once they land the Intern’s voice is heard “It seems you're not the only one who wants this mission accomplished. If you defeat the Dark Lord, any demon outside of Hell will be destroyed.”

Sunset and the Slayer press onwards slaughtering demons that obstruct their path. Soon they make their way to the World Spear, VEGA speaks as they arrive at the Nether Lake “They are worthy.” Sunset and Slayer watch as the bridge rises, VEGA comments “It seems even as I am, it still recognizes me as the Father.”

Sunset smiled “It seems part of that still lives on in you regardless of your form.” Sunset and Slayer cross one bridge and head onto the next arriving at the World Spear.

The Intern’s voice was heard as they entered “This is…unlike anything we’ve ever encountered. Not even Urdak gave off readings like this.” The pressed on through the World Spear, Slayer leaping from wall to wall while Sunset used her wings to gain flight. After arriving at what seemed to be the centre of the World Spear, the Intern continued “This isn’t a crystal - it's a ship.” They walked into the centre of several holograms of Makyrs. The Slayer retrieved the ship's power source. Intern informed them “I have the location, Gate of Divum locked in.”

Sunset and Slayer hopped through a portal that Intern had opened up. Sunset and Slayer end up in a seemingly abandoned city. The Intern told them “You have the key to the Gate of Divum. I will mark it’s location. This is the only way into the most ancient part of Hell. The Dark Lord will be there waiting for you.”

Sunset grinned “We’re going to get him.” Sunset and the Slayer charged forward hunting down the gate. After storming and slaying demons they found a switch, the Intern informed them “Power Restored. You should be able to continue toward the gate now.” Sunset and Slayer headed to a train which Sunset punched forward allowing them to progress further. The duo continued on slaughtering demons that obstructed their path.

Sunset and Slayer headed through another underwater section, then pressing forward annihilating the demons in their path. They then dove underwater again avoiding fireballs before returning to the surface, Sunset groaned as she preened her wings “I hope we don’t have to do that again.” The duo pressed onward, eradicating demons as they went. They then pressed a button to unlock a door only for demons to appear which they slaughtered before continuing on.

Sunset and Slayer pressed on destroying any enemy in their path. Soon they found themselves at the Gate of Divum. They make their way to the controls, VEGA‘s voice comes over the comms “The Gate of Divum - the only way into the most ancient part of Hell. The Dark Lord is there, waiting for you. He will not allow his city to be overtaken. Like you, he will fight to the end.” They walked into the portal.

Sunset and Slayer walked out to face the Dark Lord. The Dark Lord stared down at them “Aten me.” Hordes of guards carrying weapons, Demons merging in hordes. Sunset and Slayer glared at the hordes including a monstrous titan. Several flying ships emerged to join the battle.

Dozens of portals then opened behind them, Sunset turned to see Commander Valens step out of a portal. Sunset turned to him “You better be ready to do what should have been done all those years ago.” He nodded as many weapons of the Night Sentinels as well as their soldiers prepared for battle. A titanic mech exited the largest portal. Commander Valen shouted “Come, brothers! Let Hell tremble before our might!”

VEGA’s voice was heard “By Hell’s law, if the Dark Lord is defeated in ritual combat any demon outside his realm will be destroyed.”

Sunset and Slayer charged forward, ripping through demons like butter. The Intern told them “You’ll need to get over those walls to continue the assault.” The duo continued onwards slaughtering the demons in their path. They found a Night Sentinel crew firing a ballista which they used to shoot the two of them through a damaged wall of the Castle. The Intern informed them “We had no idea Hell had their own technology. It must have been centralised here, like some kind of ruling Elite.”

Sunset and the Slayer pressed onward, clearing out the demons blocking their path. Sunset and Slayer jumped through a portal. It teleported them somewhere else, they then charged forward into an arena full of Demons as the Dark Lord left. The duo slaughtered the demons ruthlessly. Slayer hopped on the outside of a friendly ship to give chase. The Slayer hooking himself onto the ship. Sunset flew alongside the ship, Sunset landed as Slayer chain linked a Pain Elemental and crushed another demon as he landed.

After a minor altercation with demons, the intern contacted them “You're approaching the Dark Lord’s Sanctum. I’m starting to lose my connection, though. Doom Slayer, sir, I won’t be able to-”

His connection then cut out, Sunset and Slayer nodded at each other before pressing forward for the end of this long war. They leap through a portal only to find the Dark Lord surrounded by the glowing beings that spoke “Al amect, Ivenga.”

The Dark Lord looked at the two of them “You bring violence and war to thwart the Dark Realm but conflict was born in Hell. It is inevitable…a fire that fuels creation and gives purpose where there is none.”

Sunset stopped forward, the Dark Lord's eyes narrowed “So you will be one to face me.” His mech suit opened revealing him in his glory “I will honour challenge, no weapons, no tricks just my strength against yours.” He then closed his hand the suit activating of it’s own accord as hologram of himself formed in it’s centre which he directed to Slayer “That will be his fight.” Sunset nodded to Slayer as the duo began their battle.

The Slayer darted around the mech blasting with his weapons when it attacked, slowly wearing it down. Sunset meanwhile faced the Dark Lord, she charged him he swung in response, she blocked countering with a strike to his face. He spat blood on the ground “Impressive.”

The Dark Lord swung at her only for Sunset to grab his arm and catch his second punch. The duo struggled against each other’s strength, he then thrust his head forward, she ducked under the headbutt slamming her knee into his gut. She then proceeded to wail on his face with punches, one strong punch sending him flying. The Dark Lord spoke blood dripping off his face “For too long have I been imprisoned by my own creations. You will not stop my vengeance, nor the one who betrayed me. Tell them.”

Sunset shook her head “I already know, you were the creator and the Father stole your powers of creation.”

The Dark Lord pointed at her “They lied to you, both. Immora, and its people, would have been perfect if not been for the treachery of my servants. They sealed me away, stole my power and name, and now the time has come for reckoning. As all things were made by my hand…so shall they be unmade, starting with you.”

Sunset growled “Davoth, this past has passed, this fight is between you and me. If you win you get your power back but if you lose your power is mine. Let our might decide this.”

Sunset and Davoth clashed, Davoth was ruthless and aggressive but Sunset was able to block or avoid his attacks. She delivered a punch to his gut, staggering him for a moment. She slammed her knee into his face, then slammed her elbow into his back. As the battle carried on Davoth started feeling weaker and weaker, each blow he received took more power from him.

Sunset found it easier to parry Davoth’s strikes as he grew weaker and she grew stronger. Soon Davoth was panting on the ground, most of his power drained, Slayer joined her as the mech was now a smouldering pile of scrap. Davoth looked up at Sunset “Do you have anything to say before you take my life?”

Sunset frowned. “Rest now.” She ripped his head clean off. She felt the last dregs of his power flow into her as his faint life sphere flew into the air and fizzled out. Her sharp horns curved attaching to her halo, her power surged dramatically. Slayer then collapsed to one knee, Sunset lifted him up as she carried the head of the Dark Lord. With her other hand she clenched her fist, every world the demons conquered as well as all of Hell the Demons vanished into energy that returned to her.

Sunset helped the Slayer to the edge of the walls of Immora, holding up the head of Davoth as her voice boomed across the battlefield “Victory is ours! The Night Sentinels are victorious once more!”

Sunset then teleported them to the Fortress of Doom “VEGA, take care of Slayer for me.” She placed a powerful ward on the fortress to prevent the Makyrs from accessing it as she returned to Earth to aid the reconstruction efforts of Humanity.

Discord grinned “Well that’s the end of that.”

Fluttershy frowned “Sunset is basically a creator god now, should we be worried that she caught on that we were watching her past.”

Luna frowned, “That is a good point she may know.”

They then hear Sunset’s voice behind Discord “I may know what?” Sunset staring at them from what seemed to be a bathroom with a shower, toilet. She was wearing a t-shirt and shorts. She grinned “Discord you were the one poking into my timeline huh.You were the one responsible for my teleportation.”

Discord blinked “How did you hijack my projection?’

Sunset grinned “I have a lot of power, Discord, is it really that surprising. She then raised an eyebrow “A new Alicorn, huh. Didn’t expect one of those.”

Twilight rubbed the back of her head “Well I was taken on as Princess Celestia’s student after you left.”

Sunset frowned. “Well, she probably needed someone to stop Nightmare Moon once I had left.”

Luna blinked “You knew I existed. How!”

Sunset chuckled “Well Celestia was very clear and direct with what she wanted me to do, with the exception of the Elements of course. She planned my ascension because the Elements weren’t an option and thought three Alicorns might be enough to bring you to the diplomacy table.”

Luna shook her head “I probably could have won that fight if it came down to it but it would have been very close. It might have brought me to the diplomacy table but I was quite unstable when I returned.”

Just then a man about Sunset’s height walked in, he had brown messy hair and blue eyes. He was wearing a black t-shirt and blue shorts. He walked up to the mirror “Who are these people?”

Sunset smiled, “VEGA, this is my homeworld.”

VEGA raised an eyebrow. “They really are ponies, I thought you were joking.”

Twilight blinked “That’s VEGA, I thought he was a computer.”

Sunset chuckled “VEGA wanted to experience life, he had been burdened by responsibility for a long time. His form was designed by him and I simply made it real, and placed his spirit in it.”

Fluttershy asked “Do you ever plan on returning home?”

Sunset frowned “Maybe, maybe not. I am planning on leaving humanity to go on my own journey but I don’t know if I will return home.” With that the communication ended leaving them unsure of what to do.
