"Twilight... "
.
.

"Twilight!" Rainbow Dash said urgently, shaking her friend by the shoulders. "We gotta leave now!"

Twilight snapped back to reality, staring into Rainbow Dash's eyes with pure shock. Rainbow Dash, with her sleep-deprived eyes, returned the gaze. "I-I don't want to leave you. Either we die here or survive with the others!"

Suddenly, the door behind them burst open, revealing Applejack carrying an axe. "Girls, the horde is approaching! We gotta get inside the bunker now!"

Twilight's eyes slowly filled with tears. "B-but Pinkie, she's out there," she sobbed as tears streamed down her face.

Rainbow Dash cupped her cheek, looking into her eyes with sadness and care. "As much as I want to go back outside and search for Pinkie, I'm not dumb enough to get myself killed. Please, we need you. You have to be strong for us!"

The words reverberated inside Twilight's mind. Her fists clenched, and her tears stopped flowing. "O-okay," Twilight said, her voice void of emotion.

Rainbow Dash held her wrist and pulled her back towards Applejack, who led the way further into the bunker. Applejack entered first, followed by the rest. She closed the heavy metallic door and spun the wheel, sealing them inside.

Twilight wobbled to the wall, leaned her back against it, and slid down until she was sitting. Rarity and Fluttershy approached her, trying to comfort her despite needing comfort themselves.

In the background, Applejack and Rainbow Dash argued about what to do next. Twilight looked up at the ceiling and took a deep breath.
.

.

.

It's been three weeks since the outbreak. Ponies are dying everywhere, only to come back as creatures that kill other ponies. Everyone is against each other, and every survivor is robbing and killing whoever they find. As the virus advanced, more and more ponies got infected, and the infected got stronger.

Now, in a bunker outside of Canterlot, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy, Twilight, and Applejack are occupying the space, trying to survive.

Rarity comforted Fluttershy as she sobbed, gently wiping away her tears. Twilight sat on the floor, her back against the wall, staring into empty space. Rainbow Dash paced back and forth in the dimly lit room, the only source of light being a single candle on the table, surrounded by a walkie talkie, map, and scraps of empty cans.

Applejack entered the room, her expression tense and troubled. "Y'all... There's barely any food left," she announced in a somber tone.

Fluttershy sobbed loudly, and Rarity shot Applejack a disapproving glare before returning to comfort her friend once again.

Rainbow Dash stormed over to Applejack, grabbing her collar. "What do you mean there's barely any food left?!" she demanded.

Applejack swatted her hands away, her face scrunching up in annoyance. "Are you deaf, sugar?" she retorted.

Rainbow Dash's shoulders slumped in defeat as she turned away, casting a worried glance at the despondent Twilight. "Twilight... What do we do now?" she asked, her voice tinged with desperation.

Twilight's eyes briefly met hers before dropping back to the floor. This only fueled Rainbow Dash's frustration. She marched over to Twilight, kneeling down and gripping her shoulder firmly. "Twilight! Snap out of it! We're still the Elements of Harmony, we're the-"

Twilight pushed her away, curling into herself as she spoke in a muffled voice. "B-but, Pinkie... She's..." Her voice broke, tears streaming down her face.

Applejack stood and clenched her fists, the fire in Rainbow Dash's eyes fading until her hope vanished entirely. Rarity hugged Fluttershy, covering her ears while softly singing Sweetie Belle's favorite song.

The atmosphere grew heavy with gloom, filled with nothing but silence and tears. The dim light of the candle flickered, its temporary flame symbolizing their waning hope.

Waiting to burn down.

And die.
.
.
.

A glowing sphere slowly appeared in the middle of the room, quickly drawing everyone's attention and igniting a spark of hope in their eyes.

Applejack cautiously approached the glowing sphere. "What the...?" she muttered, reaching out to touch it. Suddenly, it transformed into a large circular portal, causing her to stumble backward and fall onto her rear.

Rainbow Dash, Twilight, Rarity, and Fluttershy stared at the portal in shock and amazement, wondering if they were hallucinating. Suddenly, an intimidating figure, standing at 6'10", emerged from the portal. Clad in bulky green armor with a visor-like helmet, he held a device in his hand that resembled a tube of some sort.


The girls looked at him, frozen, jaws agape in shock as if they were dreaming. The portal behind him vanished, leaving them back in the dimly lit room once again.

Applejack pulled out her axe and prepared herself defensively, visibly shaking in the presence of the intimidating 6'10" figure. "W-who are y'all? Speak!" she demanded, clutching her axe tightly as it trembled in her hands.

The creature growled deeply, briefly lifting the device in his hand before lowering it again.

"Speak! Or you'll get a taste of my axe!" Applejack demanded again.

Twilight slowly stood up, followed by Rainbow Dash, the blurriness in their eyes clearing.

Rarity also stood up, moving protectively in front of Fluttershy.

.

.

.

"Hello, my name is VEGA, Doom Slayer's AI assistant. Nice to meet you. He means no harm," spoke a robotic male voice.

The girls' faces turned to mild confusion, but Applejack still didn't lower her axe. "Who's really speaking?" she demanded, trying to maintain a strong facade.

"I am VEGA, the AI assistant of the Doom Slayer. The Doom Slayer I am referring to is the wearer of the Praetor Suit, and I serve as his invaluable guide and support system. I am speaking on his behalf because his throat is extremely sore," VEGA explained.

"What's your business here? Why are you here? Where do you come from? And what's that thing in your hand?" Applejack asked, slowly lowering her guard. She looked at the rest of the girls and nodded her head to signal them to move back to her.

"Ah, it seems there are four more behind us. Please, we mean no harm... We're here because someone sent a distress signal to the Doom Slayer, marking this exact universe. We came from another universe to help, and this is the Super Shotg- sorry, Slayer," Vega explained briefly.

Applejack fully dropped her guard, and the rest of the girls quickly moved past the Doom Slayer to join her.

On Applejack's right side stood Twilight, and on her left stood Rainbow Dash. Both of them remained somewhat alert, while the two behind them kept glancing over their shoulders.

Before Applejack could speak again, Twilight spoke up. "What do you mean by a distress signal? And help?"

"The Slayer felt something call out his name and gave him a mental image of where he should go, as if it was a sort of dream. We're here to help," Vega answered.

"Help? There's nothing to help anymore! Almost everypony is dead!" Rainbow Dash shouted. "What's a single pony like you can do?!"

There was silence for a moment before Vega spoke. "The Doom Slayer is the savior of humanity, the one who killed all the demons in Hell and the one who defeated the Dark Lord."

They were all confused; they didn't even understand what Vega was saying. "What's a demon?" Twilight questioned.

"Demons are the main enemies of the Doom Slayer. They reside in a dimension called Hell, the place where all sinners and the damned go," Vega answered.

"Like Tartarus?" Twilight said.

"Yes, similar to Tartarus. But the demons there are no mere sinners; they are all grotesque monsters. Some are the size of mountains, while others are as large as two houses stacked on top of each other. And there are many more that are extremely deadly. However, these demons have invaded his planet and killed 90% of humanity in just a month."

All their eyes widened at the mere thought of a species instantly declining to 10%. It seemed these demons were more of a threat than what they were facing now.

"However, the Doom Slayer saved humanity by venturing into Hell alone and killing every demon, no matter how big and strong they were. Eventually, all the demons died as he defeated the creator of all demons, the Dark Lord, the originator of everything," Vega continued. The Doom Slayer then placed his Super Shotgun on his back, and it dematerialized.

.

.

.

Twilight shook her head, breaking free from her trance, and looked back at the Doom Slayer. "T-then you're here to save this world too?" Her voice carried a glimmer of hope as the hopelessness in her eyes slowly dissipated.

"Yes," Vega answered.

Though they all wanted to question him and doubted his intentions, what was the point of doing so when he emerged from a portal? Their situation was bleak, and they had already lost hope. Now, they had a chance, their only chance, the chance for Ponykind.

Applejack stepped forward, determination etched on her face. "How are you going to save this world exactly? The things out there... the dead become stronger as the virus advances. What will you do? We've survived so far by hiding ourselves in a bunker, barely scraping by for food."

Vega spoke first. "First, you all introduce yourselves."

Hesitant, but Applejack answered first. "My name is Applejack."

Twilight took a step forward. "I'm Twilight Sparkle."

Rainbow Dash stepped forward with her usual smug smile. "And I'm Rainbow Dash, the greatest flier of Equestria."

Rarity moved to the side, with Fluttershy hiding behind her, scared and shy. "My name is Rarity, and this is Fluttershy," Rarity said, with Fluttershy peeking out from behind her.

Twilight Sparkle continued, her voice tinged with sadness. "We're the Elements of Harmony... well, we used to be. We have a missing friend, and her name is Pinkie Pie. " she added, a hint of hurt in her voice.

Applejack sighed and rubbed Twilight's back as Vega spoke.

"Ah, then good meeting you all. You said you are a pony, right? Well, the Doom Slayer is a human under his Praetor suit, but later off that topic... So what are we dealing with here exactly?" Vega asked as the Doom Slayer stood still.

Twilight took a deep breath and answered, her voice trembling. "Three weeks is all it took for ponykind to crumble because of the infected... We are dealing with a virus here that brings the dead back to life. They can run, and if they bite or scratch you, you'll turn into one of them..."

"Rumors say it started with an experiment to bring back someone's loved one. But something went wrong. The first infected attacked, and the infection spread rapidly. We tried resisting it, saving other ponies, but they outnumbered us. We possess nothing but spears, swords, limited magic, and hand weapons like crossbows. But it was all too weak. The infected are tenacious. It seems the only way to kill them is to destroy their brain, and close quarters combat is extremely risky as most of them will pounce on you..."

Twilight's breathing became short and frantic as tears rolled down her face." A-and princess Celestia and Luna" She hugged Applejack tightly, burying her face in her chest and began sobbing.

Rainbow Dash took a step forward, her eyes filled with determination. "The resistance only lasted for a week, all because of Princess Luna and Celestia. They never slept, constantly helping, healing, and protecting. They both lost energy and decided to evacuate the remaining surviving ponies to nearby bunkers. They used their last energy to give us time, and after that, I don't know what happened to them. The survivors we were with got separated, and Pinkie Pie was with them. I don't know where the rest are or if it's safe to go outside. There was a horde of them two weeks ago." She took a deep breath and exhaled. "The infected are a threat because the virus evolves, making them stronger. How are you going to save this world like yours?"

The Doom Slayer stood still and clenched his fist. Vega eventually spoke. "I, Vega, need a map of this world."

"You mean Equestria?" Rainbow Dash questioned.

"Yes, Equestria."

Applejack and Rarity looked at each other. "It's on the table right next to you," Rarity said.

The Doom Slayer turned toward the table and walked closer, his steps creating metallic thumps. He moved the cans away and stared at the map, the dim light reflecting off his visor. Then he turned to them. "Thank you. I can now open portals wherever I need in Equestria."

By this point, Twilight had calmed down, though her eyes were still red and puffy. "A portal to anywhere? H-how is that possible? No pony has ever been capable of such magic," she said.

"I promise you, sweetheart, it is possible," Vega assured her. "It seems it is morning now according to my clock. We must make a move."

Applejack scrunched her face. "Move? Sugar, you don't mean you're going outside alone where there are hundreds or thousands of infected?"

The rest nodded in agreement.

"I assure you the Doom Slayer is capable of wiping out such crowds of infected. After all, he has faced the entirety of Hell,"Vega said. "Tell me first, have all of you eaten well for the past two weeks?"

The girls looked at each other and shook their heads no.

"Ah, the Doom Slayer has rations. He doesn't eat but keeps them in case," Vega explained. The Doom Slayer moved his hand to some kind of pocket behind his back, tapped a button, and in front of him, 12 cans of peaches materialized. He scooped up the cans and placed them on the nearby table. "Please eat; it's safe," Vega said in his casual robotic voice.

Rainbow Dash dashed in, took a can, opened it instantly, grabbed a nearby fork, and began shoving peaches into her mouth, tears streaming down her face. "Mmmm, this is so good~"

The rest of the girls looked at Rainbow Dash, a bit surprised. It had been two weeks since they ate properly. The rest were a bit hesitant but all they needed was a small push.

"Please eat first. I have analyzed that all of you lack enough fat to sustain a healthy body, Vega said.

Rarity turned to Fluttershy and caressed her cheek. "Let's eat, okay? You need it." Fluttershy nodded, and they both walked to the table and opened their cans of peaches.

The Doom Slayer looked at the remaining two. "Please eat and energize yourselves. The Doom Slayer apologizes for only bringing canned peaches. He loves peaches."

Twilight giggled a bit. "Thank you, Doom Slayer." She joined the three.

"I'm not eating," Applejack said.

The Doom Slayer just looked at her silently before Vega spoke again. "The Doom Slayer wants you to eat, but your choice is yours to take."

The Doom Slayer walked to a nearby wall and sat on the floor. He leaned back and stared at them silently through his visor.

Applejack stared at the Doom Slayer for seconds until she felt a tap on her left shoulder. It was Twilight holding two opened cans of peaches. "Please eat, Applejack." She smiled slightly as she offered the peaches. Applejack sighed and took it. She wanted to question why Twilight had changed, as she had never been this caring since the day Pinkie Pie got separated.

Twilight rubbed her neck with her free hand. "Applejack, I think I have to be strong for you all. I-I don't want to act all gloomy again, not after this new chance for us, for ponykind." She turned her head and looked at the silent Doom Slayer watching Rarity, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash enjoy their canned peaches.

Twilight looked back at Applejack. "Applejack, can you forgive me?"

Applejack softened and smiled softly. "Sugar, of course, I forgive ya. After all, we're friends. We all are." She caressed Twilight's cheek, and Twilight leaned into her touch.

"Thank you." Twilight smiled softly.

[Timeskip 3 minutes]

It seemed they had finished their canned peaches. The Doom Slayer stood up and walked to them. Though they knew he was friendly, they couldn't help but feel a bit of fear for the 6'10" tall muscular figure before them.

Rarity couldn't help but blush a bit.

"Now that I have the map, we need to relocate. To save your kind, we need a big base that can house many ponies," Vega said.

Twilight quickly spoke. "Wait... I think I know a spot." Twilight moved to the table and spread the map sheet on it. She then held the table and pulled it to the middle of the room, giving the Doom Slayer his own space as the rest gathered around.

"Are you sure you're capable of making portals anywhere?" Twilight questioned, looking at the Doom Slayer.

He nodded and looked down at the map.

"Places that house many ponies like Canterlot and Manehattan are literal death zones, but smaller populations in more rural areas are better," Applejack said.

"But those infected move like the wind. Low population count, but if a horde decides to move, visit, or cross by, you know that place can turn into a death zone. You know how strong those things were, destroying the barrier from Canterlot," Rainbow Dash interjected.

"You're right," Applejack said.

"I have a question. Have you used the walkie-talkie that was on the table?" Vega questioned.

Twilight quickly answered. "Yes, we had. We had contact with another supposed bunker, but we never heard from them again the next day. They were fine, but... no responses the next day." She clenched her fist but then relaxed.

"The safest place we can go to is a town on the Griffish Isles, an Equestrian island chain located between Equestria and the Griffon continent," she pointed out on the map.

Rarity quickly intervened. "But darling, you can't just suggest we take on a town full of infected, do you?"

"The Doom Slayer doesn't need all your help. For the worries, no, the Doom Slayer is immune to all diseases and viruses. Plus, you must remember that he fought Hell itself," Vega answered.

"Are you really sure?" Twilight questioned, worried.

The Doom Slayer nodded in response.

Applejack turned around and rubbed her face. "Oh Celestia, our so called savior is a psychopath," she mumbled to herself.

"Twilight, put the table back in its position. We have to get started and use the early time of the day," Vega said.

Twilight sighed, having no choice but to follow such a bold plan. She walked around the table and pushed it until it hit a wall.

"Make space" Vega said as the Doom Slayer walked to the middle of the room. "Creating portal to Trottingham in... 3... 2... 1."

A portal appeared in front of the Doom Slayer. He materialized his chainsaw and revved it up. The girls' eyes widened in surprise; they had never seen a chainsaw that big and intimidating, as if it was made to rip apart limbs. Fluttershy again hid behind Rarity in fear.

"The Doom Slayer will now depart. The portal will close, and when he returns, the place is cleared and safe," Vega said.

The Doom Slayer entered the portal. The hearts of the girls thumped loudly, hoping the Doom Slayer would be safe. Sooner or later, the portal closed and disappeared, leaving them in the dimly lit room once again.

Twilight began to move. "Girls, prepare your stuff. We're leaving this place once he comes back," she said with a spark of determination.

The girls nodded to each other.

"Yeah, let's not waste Doom Guy's time," Applejack said as she walked out of the room and disappeared.

{Music starts}

He stepped out of the portal, holding his chainsaw tightly. The blue portal behind him disappeared.

He began to walk towards the small town.

Vega announced, "Activating audio, in... 3... 2... 1."

Doom Guy's mask alarmed loudly, reverberating through the small town. As the alarm ended, disgruntled screams echoed from the village, and slowly, one infected appeared, then two, then three, then five, and then a horde.

In the first age, in the first battle, when the shadows first lengthened, one stood. Burned by the embers of Armageddon, his soul blistered by the fires of Hell and tainted beyond ascension, he chose the path of perpetual torment. In his ravenous hatred he found no peace; and with boiling blood he scoured the Umbral Plains seeking vengeance against the dark lords who had wronged him. He wore the crown of the Night Sentinels, and those that tasted the bile of his sword named him... the Doom Slayer.

RIP AND TEAR

{Guitar rip}

The Doom Slayer ran forward as the horde closed in fast. One infected pounced on him, and instantly, using his chainsaw, he split it in half, its sides separating and flying past him.

Thud thud thud

More infected pounced on him until he was buried under a mound of dead bodies.

"RAAHHH!" The mound burst, and infected flew. The Doom Slayer used his chainsaw and began spinning very fast, heads and bodies flung side to side. Some that were on the ground clung onto the doom slayer's leg and tried biting it, but with no effort as it's teeth crumbled upon biting the preator suit armor.

The Doom Slayer stopped spinning with his chainsaw and stomped on its head, streaking his legs with red.

He put his chainsaw behind his back dematerializing it, and his shotgun materialized in his hands. He turned around, aimed at an infected, and blasted its head off like a popped balloon. Another infected pounced at him from behind. He grabbed it, slammed it to the ground, and stomped on its head, splattering its brain and flesh all over the dirt and grass.

The smell of gunpowder and rot fill the air.

More infected charged at him, attempting to pounce. The Doom Slayer clenched his fist and punched one in the middle, its blood and gore splattering behind it. He aimed his shotgun to the left and pulled the trigger, exploding the head of the unfortunate infected in front. On his right, he grabbed another infected by the head and crushed it into a gooey mess.

"Twenty more approaching." Vega announced. In the short distance, a small horde appeared from the corners of the village and ran towards him.

The Doom Slayer didn’t hesitate to run towards the horde at high speed, leaving behind a trail of unmoving bodies. He put his shotgun on his back, dematerializing it, and materialized his chaingun. He aimed and began shooting high-caliber bullets, demolishing every infected in its path.

"Twenty more approaching," Vega repeated.

The Doom Slayer dematerialized the chaingun and took out his chainsaw, revving it up again. "RIP AND TEAR!" he shouted, running towards the new horde and spinning with his chainsaw, he's body moves in between the infected like a ballet of death, gore and blood showered his preator suit as he spun more and more.

He dematerialized the chainsaw, a wide grin on his face, and extended his Doom Blade. He stabbed one infected in the head, the blade protruding from the other side. He pulled his Doom Blade out and did the same to another. An infected clung to him from behind, trying to bite his shoulder, but its teeth couldn’t penetrate the Praetor suit. The Doom Slayer quickly reached for it, turned around, and ripped it in two, its intestines and organs hanged to the sides.

The last infected ran at him and he punched it in the face, sending it flying back. Without hesitation, the Doom Slayer stepped on its head again and again, spreading its brain and flesh on the ground.

SFX: Crack, splurt

After seven stomps, the Doom Slayer stopped and looked at the village houses.

{Music End}

He entered the village and walked down the empty street. The clouds gathered, forming a nimbus cloud.

"I have analyzed that it will rain for a short period of time. I have detected no movements in the entirety of the village. I am 100% positive that this island is clear of infected," Vega announced.

The Doom Slayer stopped in front of a two-story house and looked up at it.

"It seems this is the mayor's house of this village," Vega commented.

The Doom Slayer turned around to an empty space. "Opening portal in 3... 2... 1..."

.

.

.

"It's been 2 hours. I-is he?" Rainbow Dash asked, worried about the Doom Slayer.

"I knew that hyoman was all hoax. He wasted our time packing these things," Applejack added.

Twilight stood up. "Girls, hoax or not, he promised he would come back. We must believe h-"

The glowing sphere appeared once again in the middle of the room. All their hearts thumped fast in excitement. Was this really happening? Did they really have a chance to survive?

The sphere formed into a big circular portal, and the Doom Slayer, covered in blood and gore, walked out of it.

The girls stood up defensively, visibly surprised and scared by the sight.

"The Doom Slayer has accomplished his task. Trottingham is now safe for habitation," Vega announced.

They all dropped their guards, and Applejack quickly answered, "Sugar, you're covered in blood!"

Rarity gagged, covered her mouth, swallowed her puke, and her knees weakened as she fainted into Fluttershy's arms.

"The Doom Slayer is fine. All he needs is a wash," Vega explained.

The Doom Slayer turned towards the portal. "I can't keep this portal open much longer. Please proceed,"Vega said.

The Doom Slayer then walked back into the portal. The others looked at each other and eventually moved, the moment reminding them of when Twilight entered the mirror portal.

.

.

.

They all stepped out of the portal, covering their eyes as they adjusted to the light. Though the clouds were dark, it was still bright enough to irritate their eyes. They stood for a few seconds to let their eyes adjust.

As their eyes adjusted, they saw that they were in front of a two-story house. The portal behind the five girls disappeared, and they looked around the eerie, empty street.

"Do not be worried. I am 100% positive that this place has no more infected," Vega reassured.

The Doom Slayer walked towards the house and opened the door. The girls followed, carrying their bags of belongings.

Inside, the house was a mess, with broken wooden furniture and shattered glass scattered around.

"Well... better than the shithole of a bunker," Rainbow Dash commented.

"Well, girls, time to clean," Twilight said, moving further inside the house to search for a mop.

Rainbow Dash began picking up destroyed furniture and bringing it outside.

Rarity spoke up, "Well, might as well do our part."

Rarity and Fluttershy started searching for supplies, such as food and clean water, in the house.

Applejack walked over to the Doom Slayer and patted his shoulder. "Thank you..." She smiled softly before joining the others in cleaning up the house.

Hours later, the soft rain trickled on the rooftop. The girls had finally cleaned the house. Now they were all in the living room talking. Applejack leaned against a nearby wall with her arms crossed, while Rainbow Dash sat backward on a chair, resting her arms on the top.

Rarity combed Fluttershy's hair on the couch with Twilight.

"So... are we really putting our trust in the Doom guy, huh?" Applejack asked in her usual southern accent.

"Well... we have no choice, darling," Rarity commented.

"And plus, he's so cool! He emptied this village of those infected! And don't forget about his chainsaw—it's so big and badass!" Rainbow Dash added, her face bright with appreciation.

Twilight joined in, "Plus, he said he's the savior of his species, the hoomans. I want to learn more about him. He's so strange—he hides his face with the armor, he possesses alien technology, he doesn't talk, and—"

"He's so muscular and rugged," Rarity unexpectedly said, continuing to hum.

There was silence for a few seconds. Rarity turned her face and noticed the rest of the girls looking at her oddly.

"What?" Rarity questioned with a confused expression.

Twilight cleared her throat to hide her flustered face. "Ahem... let's do what he said and stay here for the day while he scouts the area for possible danger."

"Yeah," the others agreed.

"Sure, but tomorrow I'm excited to spread my wings again." Rainbow Dash looked over her shoulder and stretched her wings. "These babies needs the air."

The front door opened, and the Doom Slayer walked inside, his armor wet, creating footprints on the floor. He looked at the girls, and Vega spoke, "We have connected the nearby water tower to only this house. The shower is now available. The Slayer will go first."

The Doom Slayer walked into another room and disappeared. The girls, however, looked at each other and back at the room where the Doom Slayer had entered. A devious smile slowly appeared on Rainbow Dash's face. She got up from her seat and walked to the entrance of the room, peeking inside.

Pink crept onto Twilight's face. "R-Rainbow Dash! Give him some privacy!"

"He took off his armor," Rainbow Dash whispered.

The girls' eyes widened, and their ears twitched as their faces turned red. "Rainbow Dash!"

"He's in the shower, duh," she turned around and looked at the girls. "Hey, this is finally our time to see his face!" she said with excitement and glee.

"...You know what, yeah, I'll join ya. I'm interested in what he looks like," Applejack said, walking over to Rainbow Dash.

"A-Applejack?!" Twilight looked at her, shocked.

Twilight glanced at Rarity and Fluttershy, both of their faces now resembling tomatoes. Rarity kept brushing Fluttershy's hair, trying to ignore them.

"T-the door is opening," Rainbow Dash said as they peeked inside.

"Oh.."

...

Twilight didn't want to question them, but curiosity got the best of her. "W-what does he look like?"

The girls didn't answer. They both turned around and walked back to their previous spots, disappointment etched on their faces.

"Bummer, the Doom guy pulled his suit inside the bathroom..." Applejack said with a disappointed tone.

"Oh," Twilight replied.

The Doom Slayer walked out of the room and into the living room. "I recommend you girls take a shower as well, to maintain a clean and healthy body," Vega spoke.

The Doom Slayer then walked out the front door and stood on the porch.

...

The sun set, and all the girls are on the second floor, laying down on a mattress.

Applejack and Rainbow Dash lay together on a mattress on the floor, while Rarity, Fluttershy, and Twilight lay together on a large bed.

Twilight looked up at the ceiling. "I wonder if the princesses are still alive... the moon and the sun are still moving."

"Well... I sure do hope they're still alive," Applejack added.

Rarity joined in, "And I hope Pinkie Pie is okay."

Rainbow Dash yawned, "But still... I love you girls, and I'll never stop loving you all."

Fluttershy finally spoke, hiding half her face with the blanket. "I-I love all of you."

A small smile tugged at their lips.

"Goodnight," Applejack said.

The rest finally said their good nights and closed their eyes after this tiring day. The hope in their hearts slowly grew.

[Living room]

The Doom Slayer sat on the floor, looking at a candle as the light reflected off his visor. "Rest well Slayer, you have a lot of work to do tomorrow," Vega spoke.
