Equestrians

Once they all assembled Fluttershy looked at Discord “Let’s get started.’ He nodded without a word, starting the projections.

Sunset

Sunset and the Salyer were preparing to head to Earth. VEGA confirmed “Attempting to locate Hell Priest signal….” Slayer grabbed a shotgun as Sunset clenched her fists. Vega confirmed “We have the Hell Priest’s signal locked in. The target is marked but the signal will not hold for long.” The Slayer checked his wrist blade before putting on his helmet.

A portal is then opened by VEGA that Sunset and Slayer step into. They emerge in a room full of weak possessed humans which they slaughter. VEGA informs them “I have located the Hell Priest’s signal . I will mark it on HUD.” They move forward past entire crates of possessed humans, slaying a few that were uncontained. They then moved forward slaying the demons in their way.

Soon Sunset and Slayer got their hands on the Hell Priest Deag Nilox, Deag Nilox choked out “My soul remains guarded. You can’t…” Slayer used a holy medallion to nullify his protection and decapitated the Hell Priest via choking. They took his head with them. They left the building only for them to see a giant demon towering over the ruined city.

Sunset pointed at the giant demon “We’ll deal with you later.”

VEGa then gave an update “The first Hell Priest has been terminated. The demonic consumption of Earth has reduced by 36.8%. There are two Hell Priests remaining.” Sunset and the Slayer continued on. There were relics of failed human resistance scattered about the landscape. They continued slaying demons in their path. They collected a yellow key card and then slaughtered more demons as they travelled across the battered landscape.

They found their way into a subway slaying demons and heading through a crashed train. They then cleared out more demons. After clearing out more demons VEGA informed Sunset and Slayer “The Khan Makyr is nearby. She is inside that demonic citadel. I will mark that location on your HUD.”

Sunset growled “We will be having some word with her! I assure you!”

Sunset and Slayer charged into the Citadel through a demonic portal. VEGA informed them as they exited the portal “The gathering of Hell Priests is located just above your location. My scans indicate there is a lift at the centre of the facility. Sunset and Slayer charged into the facility. As they found and activated the elevator, VEGA informed them “The Khan Makyr is present at this gathering, but when outside of her domain she is by all accounts indestructible.”

Sunset clenched her fist “I’ll find a way around that!”

The two remaining Hell Priests looked at them as they rose into their sanctum, Deag Ranak exclaimed “H…how can this be?” No man can pass through the Gate! It is… Slayer then tossed the head of Deag Nilox before them.

Deag Grav stammered as Sunset and Slayer approached him “”The..the..this stops nothing…”

Deag Ranak continued “The sacrament of this world to the great Khan Makyr will be made, and the energy will be restored once again…”

Deag Grav then followed “...as it is written, from the souls of non-believers!”

Deag Ranak finished “You will not save them from their judgement!”

The duo then prepared for combat only for two Hell Priests to teleport away. Sunset chuckled, “Only delaying the inevitable, so pathetic.” Slayer nodded.

The Khan Makyr themselves materialised, staring down at them “You go too far this time. You cannot interfere. This is humanity’s chance to repent, to give service to us.”

Sunset frowned “You think yourself gods, you're not. You only pretend to be so you can serve your own egos.”

The Khan Makyr continued as Sunset and Slayer walked away “You cannot resist the will of the Khan Makyr.”

VEGA’s voice came over their comms “Activating the portal now.”

The voice of Khan Makyr trailed off “For it was you who went meant to enfo…”

They arrive back at their home base, the Fortress of Doom. VEGA’s voice echoes around them “I do not have the means to locate the second Hell Priest. Your Celestial Locator is missing a component. We will need a replacement.”

Slayer activated the portal location of Exulita on the computer. He then pushed down the activator, Sunset and Slayer head through the portal. They arrive at an abandoned temple and head for the main building, the Slayer leaping from pillar to pillar while Sunset flew across.

They then take out some minor demons before continuing on. None of the demons were particularly strong. They also acquired a powerup for Slayer allowing him to hit even harder. They then moved forward slaughtering more demons while avoiding lightning traps. They then jump into a pit and slaughter the demons then move forward killing a few stragglers on their way forward.

They then head into a building killing more demons and then head outside. After clearing more out more demons and travelling further to collect another power up for Slayer, Sunset and Slayer arrived in the throne room of the Sentinel King Novik.

The Sentinel’s King’s ghostly voice was heard as they approached the centre “Why are you here?” The Slayer activated a device on his armour causing the floor to open up, as the floor rose revealing a device the King’s ghostly voice was heard once more “It is not yours to take.” The Slayer picked up the device, and they turned around to see the Sentinels King’s ghostly form, Slayer and Sunset bow as he warned them “You cannot kill the Priests. You know our laws - despite their transgressions against the covenant they are still of Sentinel blood. What you interfere with now is bigger than you can imagine. It is written, it is their time to give penance - if you continue you will bring down the heaven’s wrath.”

They stand up and turn around picking up the device, the King continues looking at them “You are but two individuals,” He then looks at the Slayer “They are no longer your people to save!” Slayer turns back only to see the King had vanished, they head out of the building slaying some demons foolish enough to bar their path. They head through a portal leading to Hell once more where Slayer picked up a weapon followed by the duo slaughtering more demons.

Sunset and Slayer then find a power core and use it to power a giant mechanical to clear the path before them. They then continue on their way crossing a chasm to head upward when they slaughter more demons. The duo activate a door and head down slaying more demons before moving forward. Sunset and Slayer get another power core before slaying more demons. They use that power core to crave a way through a demon using a spear of giant mech.

Sunset and Slayer move forward, they dive through the creature’s insides slaying a few demons in their way. They punch their way out leading to slaughtering more demons. After fighting through several waves of demons as they progressed, they found another power core. They used the power cell to power another mech’s shoulder cannon to open a path.

Sunset and Slayer made their way through the demon’s corpse before slaying more demons. The duo soon found a huge chasm filled with platforms that dropped when they were stood on. The Slayer made his way across the Chasm while Sunset flew across watching closely until they made it to the other side. They pushed forward slaying more demons.

Sunset and Slayer continued on, as they did so VEGA informed them “The Betrayer’s life signal is nearby.”

Sunset growled “I want to have some words with him.” The Slayer nodded.

They found their way to a door. As the door opened, VEGA scanned the area “There are motion sensors and artillery everywhere.” They watched as a bunch of red glowing interlinked lasers dissipated. They approached the Betrayer sitting on the rock.

The Betrayer looked over to them before looking at his spent campfire, “I told you all to leave me here. I am where I belong.” Slayer put the device they had collected on the other rock. Sunset glared at the Betrayer. Betrayer looked at the Salyer “Saving your people will not bring you peace… only make the burden you carry worse.”

He then stands up taking the device and powering it with a power core. He then handed it back to the Slayer, as he grabbed it he held onto for a moment “And now you seek to defy the Khan Makyr herself. It is your people’s time now to give penance.. just as it was mine.”

He then let go of the device the Slayer took it walking away from him. Sunset growled “We don’t need advice from a traitor.” She turned around as well. Betrayer focused on the Slayer “Hear me, Slayer - When his heart is laid to rest then his soul will be at peace.” The Betrayer tossed the Slayer a dagger’s hilt which he caught. The two of them then left the Betrayer's current home.

Shortly after they left VEGA informed them “The evacuation point has been. I will mark its location on your HUD.” Sunset and Slayer headed in that direction. After travelling over the pit’s lava, they land turning their attention towards the demons around them beginning the slaughter. After the demons were slain, they headed back through the portal.

Once they returned VEGA’s voice was heard “You can now find the remaining Hell Priests by activating your Celestial Locator.” Slayer inserted the device into the machine, VEGA continued “The second Hell Priest is located in the northern region of Earth. I will calibrate the portal now.”

The Slayer then presses the activation button and the two head through the portal. Sunset and Slayer arrive in the arctic tundra where they press onward slaying demons as they manoeuvre through the landscape. After slaying more demons, VEGA informs them “The Hell Priest is somewhere in this facility. I cannot pinpoint his exact location at this time.”

Sunset shrugged “Well we’ll just have to hunt him down then.” The duo pressed onward. They slain more demons and activated a skull device. As they were about to head out a projection of Deag Ranak appeared “Welcome, Slayer, Blood Queen. Is my time at an end? Let’s see if you're strong enough to survive this cursed citadel.”

Sunset grinned “Blood Queen. I like it, about time I gained some recognition from them.” They then pressed on, driven by the desire to end the Hell Priest’s arrogance. They slaughtered more demons as they pressed further through the citadel. They acquire a cultist key and then after a quick round of demon slaughter use it to press onward. Sunset and Slayer eventually find their way to a place where they are attacked by a serpentine, part humanoid demon which they quickly eliminate.

Then more demons emerge which are quickly torn apart by Sunset and Slayer. They make their way forward, finding themselves facing more demons, the projection of Deag Ranak commands his forces “The beasts draw near to me my brothers and sisters, but they are weak. Your hate must match their will, only then will you be truly saved.”

Sunset’s eyes started twitching as she raised her hand, all the demons exploded their essence flying into her body “Weak, you calling us weak.”

Slayer put a hand on her shoulder “Relax, don’t let him get to you. Save your anger for when we get to him.”

Sunset began to calm down and they pressed on. They then heard Deag Ranak again “Your salvation lies in his destruction.” He then continues “The myth of the Slayer’s and Blood Queen’s strength is exposed to us, can you see it brothers? They have lost the resolve to continue.”

Sunset chuckled darkly “He is crazy to be saying such things where we can hear him.” They pressed on.

VEGA updated them “Your Super Shotgun is nearby. A relic from your past - the Priests have kept it hidden from you in this remote location.” Sunset grinned as they made their way to it’s location. They slain a few demons and activated a switch before pressing onward. They cleared out demons along their path. They pressed onward until they found a demon in a cage.

The Slayer activated a device, VEGA informed them “Neural connection successful. You are now in control of the Revenant drone. You may use it to reclaim your property.” The device turned around, Sunset waited as Slayer controlled the drone to collect and return with the Super Shotgun. The drone returns offering the super shotgun to the Slayer.

The Slayer then blows the demon to pieces with the Super Shotgun. Sunset and Slayer then press onwards. They rampaged through the demons in their path. They make their way to the surface where they slay more demons. They open a door only to hear Deag Ranak once more “Are you growing tired Slayer, Blood Queen? We will break both of your wills yet.”

Sunset and Slayer proceed to slaughter more demons on their way forward. They find another projection of Deag Ranak “I don't fear either of you. This match is not won yet. Come find me, Slayer, Blood Queen. I will be waiting.” The duo pressed on heading outside where they slaughtered more demons as they headed towards their destination.

Sunset and Slayer arrived at the hiding place of Deag Ranak by a futuristic demonic train. Vega informed them “The Hell Priest’s position is stable now, and his Guardian is somewhere in the facility ahead.” The duo nodded as they pressed forward slaying more demons in their way. They soon were greeted by another hologram of Deag Ranak “It is not easy to find warrior worthy of the Slayer or the Blood Queen but I think you will be impressed.” Sunset and Slayer pressed onward. They slain more demons as they sought out their objective. After more travelling and slaying of demons they activated a green skull switch. They progress forward activating another switch.

Sunset and Slayer press onwards slaying demons in their path.They found a red keycard and had another encounter with the hologram of Deag Ranak “Was it not the Slayer and the Bood Queen who brought the demons to us? The Khan Makyr as you to thank for the gift of Argent Energy. It is you who are responsible for humanity’s suffering.”

Sunset and Slayer ignored him as they pressed onward. They continued their warpath through the facility and then headed outside continuing on their way. They moved back into the facility, eventually Sunset and Slayer entered a room where Deag Ranak started to speak as a powerful demon was put together before them “I thought you would appreciate the Sentry I chose - The great Agaddon Hunters from the Telos Realm. Though long thought to be extinct - created to only hunt the Slayer, the Blood Queen and their Night Sentinels during the Unholy Crusades. Some improvements to their designs have been made. Enjoy what is undoubtedly my finest work.”

Sunset and Slayer charge the creature as it moves to attack them. Sunset rips the creature out of it’s base and kills it. The duo then head down and quickly dispatch two more of them. Deag Ranak stuttered as they approached “...th…the..beasts…does they…they…not seek enhanced power. Gifts to aid them in their…noble conquest…perhaps in return for my-”

Sunset grabs Deag Ranak’s head and crushes it into a bloody pulp, tossing a holy medallion on his corpse. The duo then returned to the base.

Fluttershy frowned “Well I’m glad Rainbow’s not here, she hates traitors.”

Luna frowned “I don’t understand why they didn’t kill the Betrayer where he stands.”

Discord shook his head “Probably because he is useful to have around and killing him would be too good for what he has done. He has lived with that guilt forever. More than a worthy punishment.”

Twilight looked at Discord with worry “Sunset seemed pretty manic for a second there.”

Discord shook his head. “Sunset is a very proud individual, calling her weak was a grave insult in her mind which is why she reacted so violently.”

Flutterhsy then nodded to Discord “Let’s continue.”

Sunset

As they returned to the base, the light started to flicker as VEGA informed them “Our system is being corrupted.”

They then heard the voice of the Khan Makyr as their hologram materialised the room “This game has gone far enough.”

Vega then comments “I will have her transmission removed in a moment.”

The Khan Makyr continued “Despite the loss of the priests, Earth will fall and my people will survive. I will answer the human’s prayers, reward those that believe.”

VEGA interrupted “This HUB was of Makyr design - she knows the systems well.”

Khan Makyr continued once more “The final priest will be moved to a discreet location, so our work can continue without further disruption.”

VEGA informed them “The Third Hell Priest’s signal is no longer visible to us. There is a 41.3% increase in demonic activity at the nexus of the initial invasion. That is the largest gore nest on Earth. I will set the portal coordinates for the Super Gore Nest now.”

Slayer then activates the portal and the duo heads out once again. Once they left the main building they appeared in, VEGA informed them “The Super Gore Nest’s location is nearby. This is the site where the invasion began, the oldest and most corrupted location on the planet. The Arc fought hard but they were eventually driven out by the demons.”

Sunset and Slayer continue onwards towards the Super Gore Nest. Sunset and Slayer charged forward, ripping apart the demons crossing their path. They broke a few holograms praising the demons. They cleared out the demons in around the Super Gore Nest only to find the entrance blocked by a purple barrier. They then placed a yellow gore key that had found into one the strange devices that dissolved the purple barrier and opened part of the way forward.

Sunset groaned as they had to find more keys, Slayer shrugged as they pressed forward clearing out more demons. After jum,pign down a few steep drops they found the Super Gore Nest’s core, VEGA informed them “This is the heart of the nest. It has taken root in the facility’s main power generator. Reactivating the generator will destroy the nest.”

Sunset and Slayer began moving forward to reactivate the generator. They slaughtered any demon in their way, Slayer used a rad suit nearby while Sunset flew over the irradiated areas. They collected a red gore key, VEGA informed them “You now have access to the Heart Chamber.”

Sunset and Slayer pressed onward, clearing out demons with ease. They make their way to the Heart Chamber, VEGA informs them “The generator is in a dormant state. Two nearby control terminals will need to be manually activated to restore full power. Unlocking the left terminal room now.” The duo head to the left and flip the switch which causes part of the generator to go up destroying part of the connected tissue of the core.

Sunset and Slayer are informed by VEGA “50% of power has been restored. The second control terminal still requires activation to destroy the nest. I’m unable to open the door to the second terminal at this time. You need to find an alternate route.” Sunset and Slayer shrugged, pressing onward ploughing through demons. They then head through a portal, slaying demons and destroying a demonic totem. The duo press forward slaying demons and moving through another area that has radioactive floors. They then located a blue gore key using it to continue further.

Sunset and Slayer make their way back to the beginning of the Super Gore Nest and use the keys to open up the upper path. VEGA informed them “The Hellified Barrier has opened. This airshaft will provide access to the generators' control terminal.” They headed down before activating the second generator. VEGA informed them “The generator is at full power. You can now use the main console to destroy the Heart.”

Sunset and Slayer nodded heading into the main generator room. They activated the generator that started to blow the heart apart. VEGA informed them “The Generator is overloading. I have marked your exit portal.” The duo head for the portal slaying any demons stupid enough to bar their way. They escaped only for the Super Gore Nest to explode.

When they return VEGA informs them “The final Hell Priest location remains unknown. The demonic consumption of Earth will not be stopped until the last Hell Priest and his guardian are destroyed. We will require assistance in order to locate the final Hell Priest. I believe Dr Hayden can help with our search. I will calibrate the Portal to the ARC’s command station.”

Sunset grumbled “We could use an apology from him.” The duo activate the portal heading through.

Twilight yawned, “It’s getting late, we’ll continue tomorrow.”

Discord nodded “Alright I’ll take Fluttershy home.” Fluttershy nodded as they left. Luna sighed as she went to find some coffee.
