The knights find themselves in an abnormally spacious room where a giant tree stands at the center of a flower field, caged by thorns filled with roses.

They cautiously explored the room and spotted a mare sleeping in an open casket underneath the giant tree.

Both Bright and Quilt looked at each other and gave a nod. " It's her." They slowly closed in and carefully watched their every step, as they do not trust the bed of flowers covering the room.

As they got near, Bubbles and Bright's chest began to glow. Bubbles was in shock and panic, while Bright expected this.

The mare inside the casket began to glow as well and woke from its slumber.

As she stood out from her casket. She'd stretch her wings and yawn as loudly as a whale. Everyone was forced to cover their ears as the pegasi wailed and flew above.
Her eyes open, and she sees the two glowing ponies, the same as her.

" My sisters, I've been so lonely since you left. Come to me, so I may hug you all once more."

Her hooves opened wide, inviting them to her. She descends slowly for them to reach her, but her body changes by the second. Horns grew, her wings morphed, body parts began growing, and slowly she became a draconicous.

Her wings were a mix of a griffin and dragon, wings. Paws of a lion and a hoof of an equine. A body and tail of a serpent and horns made of branches that bloom a single flower.

"Come to me."

Bright would unsheathe his sword and point it at the mare. " Forgive me, lady Fluttershy, but we came here for your element."

The draconicous halted her movements and was saddened. " You did not come for me?" She cried.

The room began to shake.

Bluebell was about to cast her fireballs, but Quilt held her off. " Stay at the walls; we will need you for later." She hurriedly pointed her to stick close to the door and continue commanding the others. "Tapper, Cross, Treasure, Bubbles, do not engage, let Bright handle this.

Everyone except Bubbles would heed her commands, as she is trapped inside her mind once more.

I shake once more. Oh, how frustrating this is. I thought I'd overcome you. Perhaps I have to kill you...

The draconicous approaches Bright with an intent to grab him with her embrace.

" Please, sister... I have missed you so dearly," the draconicous cried.

Bright readies his sword as she approaches. " Do not worry, Fluttershy, you will be with your sisters." When he was about to strike his blade, Bubbles intervened and struck the Draconicous, kicking her off from the side.

Bright's eyes grew in shock as well as for Quilt. "Damn it, Bubbles! I told you to not engage!"

" Shut it!" She yelled as she shook with her sword in blood. " I... I need this."

Her eyes flared up, and so did her mane.

" You fool! You messed up our only opening!" Bright yelled.

" If it's an opening you want, then it's an opening you'll get." Bubbles dashed once more towards the draconicous with such incredible speed that it was hard to track her movements. Afterimages of her are the only thing was left to see, before blood would spurt out of the draconicous's body.

All was going well in Bubbles mind as she was getting back her confidence, but the two would continue shouting for her to stop.

" Stop Bubbles!"

" You're making it worse!"

She gave them no mind.

I'm winning; why would I give her room to breathe?

A drop of tear echoes through the whole room. A wave pulses out of it's heart that echoed through their very being, chocking them in the process. Time slowed down, and tears fell from their eyes. Their hearts ache and beat with hers.

" Know how much it hurts. How much it hurts to be forgotten." Another wave echoes throughout the room as the draconicous's heart beats, causing them to feel the pain that she had. Tears would fall and impair the others as the pain was unbearable. The only ones left standing were Quilt, Bright, and Bubbles at this point. As the rest were knocked out.

"Why'd you have to get in the way?" Bright yelled. But Bubbles could not hear him.

Her eyes were filled with rage and super focused on Fluttershy. "Is that it? Is that all?"

Bright was taken by surprise by her action.

Quilt and Bright tried to move and take action against the draconicous, but their movements are like in underwater: slow and heavy.

This is nothing compared to Starlight's

Bubbles on the other hoof moved slowly at first but gained momentum and speed at the second.

When she was about to strike her, she wasn't fast enough and was grabbed by the hoof. " Why do you point your sword against me, sister? You always shielded me." Bubbles would flick her hooves off to get loose and try once more, but the draconicous would sink into the flower bed.

She would look around, trying to find her, where she'd probably show up.

And behind Bright, there the draconicous would whisper. " Sister, I have always looked up to you, respected. "Bright would try to move, but his movements were limited, he was wide open.

Bubbles would be there for him though. She'd dash towards Fluttershy and slam her to the ground.

" Are you alright, Bright?" she asked.

" Focus on the fight! Hit her chest! Her element is there!" Bright struggled to reply.

And so she did and followed his command.
She lounges at her, her sword straight to her chest. The draconicous tried to counter by grabbing her, but her speed doubled.

Ting!

As her blade pierced her chest, something hard was inside her. This has deeply affected the creature, as it started to cry in pain. Echoes of her cry would resonate and be felt by everyone in the room, causing them to uncontrollably cry.

The ground continues to shake and crack until it all falls down into the abyss.
