Daniel and Nature has just returned from an assignment and they had a blast completing it. In more ways than one as there was an explosion behind them as the portal closed.

"I will see you another time my Rose." Daniel said as he opened a portal to head back home.

"Wait Daniel." She called out

"Yes?" She ran up to him and stood in front of him for a moment and Daniel swore he could see hearts in her eyes.

"Thanks for the time we spent together." She said with half closed eyes.

"Don't mentio-" He was cut off as she leaned in and kissed him. He was caught off guard but he didn't mind and let her keep going. After a while, she broke the kiss and smiled at him.

"Come back soon. I want to go on more adventures with you." She punched him in the gut playfully.

"I will be back soon." He said as a promise.

Xaveroth watched as the projector spread the evil energy around and it soon started to leak out of the Dark multiverse and into surrounding dimensions and universes. They result was massive imbalance as they started getting more chaotic. Lawlessness was starting to take over and empires that were one calm and lawful utopias were now nothing more that crime infested cities. The evil energy was making it so those that followed the path of evil were winning no matter the odds. One single gunman taking out a whole SWAT team. Cities falling to cartels. Galactic empires banding together to face one foe but that one foe beating the 30 in the alliance. All of existence was starting to become unbalance. All thanks to the great projector.

"Sir. Is this it? Have you won?" One of the guards asked.

"Almost. The heart bearer in his total merged form in immune to the effects of this imbalance. He won't lose just from the evil energy alone. I will need to take care of him and i know just how to do that. I will get him to face me alone."

"How will you do that sir?" Xaveroth chuckled and opened a view portal and saw Nature on the other side.

"By taking away what he loves." He reached out and crushed the portal in his hand. "Not just her. But the whole hangout." He said with a laugh.

His guards looked a little uneasy. They knew they shouldn't have helped him but it was too late now. There was nothing they could do before and now that Xaveroth was more powerful to the point he could control fate itself...there was nothing at all they could do.

"My victory is going to be here soon. All i need to do is finish off Daniel. Oh and don't you dare think of touching the projector while i'm gone." Xaveroth teleported to the entity hangout to have some fun.

As he left, one of the guards went to try and stop the projector but another one there ended up stabbing him with his sword. The guard dropped down dead and the one who stabbed him looked surprised.

"I...i did not do that. My body reacted by itsel-" The same guard also soon dropped down dead with no visible cause to his death.

"I...think i will just wait." One said and the rest sadly nodded in agreement.

Daniel soon returned back to his house and looked around. He got a strange feeling as the air felt like...sadness. Pain. Getting a bad feeling, Daniel looked out the window and to his horror the sky was a deep reddish colour. He ran into his other house and went to Ponyville. When he opened the door he was shocked to see the sight before him.

Bandits were raiding ponyville and many guards had fallen in its defence. One guard was trying to sneak up on a bandit, but the wind suddenly changed direction and a twig blew under the guards hooves. It snapped. The bandit turned to face him and cut him down after he blocked his attack which the guard decided to do in a panic so it was predictable.

Daniel ran up and tried to punch the bandit. But despite his super speed he missed as the bandit seemed to turn around casually and see him. Then tried to drive a spear into his stomach, but it just snapped. He then tried to kick the bandit but something went wrong and Daniel fell down. He had no clue what went wrong as he had battle Nature and kicked her many times with no trouble.

The bandit then tried to stab him through the eye but the blade just bent and broke on contact. This caused the bandit to look at the broken blade with shock and then at Daniel who was now standing, looking at the bandit with crossed arms. This resulted in the bandit and the ones close by, to back away from Daniel with nervous smiles on their faces. Daniel had no clue what was happening but he was taking no chances. He turned into his total merge for right away and looked around for his friends.

With his hearing he did manage to hear Twilight and the rest of them. Even Annabelle. When he heard Annabelle, he rushed over to them and saw they were all in a shield that Twilight put up but it was fading quickly as more bandits battered it with their weapons. Just as he saw this, Twilight's shield broke and they all backed up against a wall.

He could see that Applejack and Rainbow Dash had visible bruises on them. They had tried to fight back but failed.

"They are just normal bandits. How are they this strong?" Pinkie asked as her hair was no longer puffy.

"Come on Girls. No need to get violent." One of them said with a grin. Annabelle saw him and her eyes lit up with delight.

"DANIEL!" She called out in a way that wasn't for help, but that the others knew he was here. All of them turned to face him and he saw looking at the Bandits with hate in his eyes.

Daniel decided to waste no time. Before they could even speak he rushed forwards and hit them in their necks. This resulted in them dropping to the ground, holding their necks and gasping for air. Even with how strong he was, he still didn't have the heart to take a life.

"Hi girls. What happened?" He asked with a warm smile. All of them were happen to see him but what he didn't see was bandit had just gotten up and since this one was a unicorn, he fired a magic beam at Daniels head which hit him directly but he didn't even feel it. "What are you lo-" He turned around to see the bandit who fired the magic beam at him looking at him with fear and sweating. The others also saw this and slowly they all got up and ran away.

"No clue. The sky just turned red and then...a few moments later it was just chaos. Even Discord can't stop it." Daniel looked around at the village as it was on fire but the good news is that the bandits seemed to be running away and news of him spread around them quickly.

"Is there anywhere that's safe?" He asked them.

"Canterlot?" Rarity asked.

"No. Princess Celestia told us not to go there. It's no better there." Daniel decided he would let them stay in the Aperture. If anything, that place would be safe as it was hidden.

Standing next to them he then teleported them and they soon found themselves in his lab.

"Where...are we?" Twilight asked in aw and wonder.

"This is my lab. Aperture." Applejack was the only one that seemed to be both impressed and uneasy. Fluttershy was just all around uneasy about the place. Looking at Annabelle he wondered if she would be safe here until he figures out what's going on. But she realised what he was thinking and her eyes widened.

"No. Let me come with you." She asked with tears in her eyes.

"Annabelle you know i-" She slammed her fist against a wall.

"YOU ALWAYS DO THIS NOW! You run off and leave me. I want to help you too." She rushed up to him and cried into his chest. This is when Daniel was surpised to see how tall she was. Before she was only around his stomach area, now he was only a head taller. Was it the power he shared with her or was this just her growing?

"I promised our parents i would keep you safe and i intend to keep you out of danger if i can." She said and Annabelle knew she couldn't change his mind.

"Fine. If you re-" They were cut off by a portal opening and Nature appearing from it. She looked to be in a panic and she looked awful. She was burnt and was sweating and panting. Totally exhausted. She had multiple cuts over her body and her blood was leaking out and dripping down onto the floor.

"Daniel. We need your help. We're under attack. It's Xaveroth." When he heard that he nodded and got Annabelle to let him go. Xaveroth was a powerful opponent and she would stand no chance against him.

"Annabelle. Xaveroth is too powerful. Even i couldn't scratch him in the short battle i had with him. Stay here till i return."

"No. You will need all the help you can get if you can't scratch him." He stopped and looked at her. She was still determined to help him but he was not willing to put her against such a strong foe.

"I have the entities to help me. Please stay here and protect out friends. Out of all here, you are the strongest." He said to her and Annabelle looked over at their friends. She then sighed.

"Fine." She gave in and realised she wasn't going with him. "You will come back...right?" She asked with sadness in her eyes. He smiled at her and at his friends who were looking at him with worry.

"Yeah. I will." He said and followed Nature through the portal.

When he arrived at the hangout he saw a sight of horror before him. The place was covered in corpses and some bloody spots were around the area. Some had dust and some had bits of cooled down magma or melting ice in pools of water. Entities in all shapes and sizes were laying dead around the whole area and the building they had to call their home was destroyed. Nothing was left besides the lower levels which were all on fire.

Daniel saw Archie in the Distance in his final form currently fighting Xaveroth who looked different. More solid but also transparent. He also saw Archie was on his last legs. He went all out to do his best to beat Xaveroth but he failed. Xaveroth on the other hand was floating with his hands behind his head like he was relaxing.

"Well well...looks like i win." Xaveroth said as Archie tried to punch him with all the energy he had left but Xaveroth just finger flicked him away and with that Archie was out cold. Xaveroth laughed and turned around. His eyes landing on Daniel who was already in his total merged form. "Here's comes a new challenger." He said jokingly.

"Xaveroth." Daniel said with anger and hatred in his voice as he looked to the side and saw the condition Nature was in. She just recovered and now was injured and bleeding again.

"Oh sorry. Did i make your lover bleed?" He said with a chuckle. Daniel saw Archie was still awake but he didn't or couldn't move as he watch Daniel. Hoping he could take him down. "I assume you have already seem what i have caused? Hows Equestria doing for you? Or what about Earth?" He said with a grin.

"Earth? What did you do to both of them?" He asked as his fist started to distort space with the pressure he had built up in them.

"Oh nothing. I just released some evil energy and am projecting it across all of existence so that evil will always win." He said as if it was no big deal. "No need to fight 'Heros' if evil will always win. I just need to be the strongest bad guy." Daniel didn't say some silly hero quote or anything cliche. He just walked towards Xaveroth and waited for him to make a move.

"Aww how cute. You think you can take on me." Xaveroth punched him and to Daniel's surprise he didn't see it coming beforehand. No transparent image of the moves he would make before he made them and the punch itself hit like a train. Daniel stood up straight even with his chest hurting from the hit and got into a battle stance.

Chuckling. Xaveroth teleported behind him and Daniel heard it and turned to punch him. He missed as he went right through Xaveroth and then was hit across the head and was sent tumbling back.

"2 Hits. Lets so how many it takes to take you down."

Standing up again, Daniel felt his anger raise and his area started to get slightly darker. Knowing that physical attacks likely done nothing he put some cosmic energy into his hands and got ready for the next attack. Making multiple hands. Xaveroth launched an all out volley of punches and in response, Daniel put up a shield which was shattered in a few seconds. Teleporting behind Xaveroth he tried to get him by surprise but another hand managed to get a solid gut shot in which knocked the win out of Daniel without Xaveroth needing to move.

"You know...i was expecting more from the heart bearer. 3. Hurry up and get up." Daniel lifted himself to his feet and a moment later he felt a sharp pain in his chest. Looking down he saw Xaveroth had punched through his ribs. "Come on. Fight seriously. If this is it, it's pathetic." Daniels chest was ripped open and he was thrown back. As he let his chest heal and mend together he felt like his anger was at breaking point.

"Daniel. Come on." Looking up he saw Nature standing between him and Xaveroth and he saw a rare sight. Fear. Nature couldn't even hide it. She was trembling, shaking and her breathing was very quick.

"Out of the way small fry." He smaked Nature to the side and that caused him to snap. Daniel's area was gone. He looked normal but he didn't feel normal. His body reacted almost as in instinct and rushed forwards to punch Xaveroth. He caught it but he was struggling a little to keep Daniels hand back.

"So is this your real power? I heard the heart has no limit of reserve energy. Show me if its true." He said in an insane tone of voice.

"Daniel's body seemed to be on auto pilot as he just kept launching attack after accack which Xaveroth kept blocking and hitting Daniel back at times he had an opening. Daniel took another 17 solid hit before his anger started to burn out and he dropped onto the floor. Coughing up blood and his healing slowing down as the damage he got was high level damage from a higher dimensional being.

"Is that all? Perhaps if i burn your flower that will get you to try more." Xaveroth pointed at Nature and a fireball appeared on the tip of his finger. Seeing this made Daniel react instantly and predict one of Xaveroths moves. Avoiding a counter attack he managed to land a solid hit on Xaveroths head. Stumbling back, Xaveroth chuckled and went almost all out on Daniel. He wanted to break him before killing him.

As time passed, Daniel managed to land around 4 more solid hits on Xaveroth but it was all for nothing as Daniel soon found himself at the limit his body still had. He never needed to use this much power before so just like before. His body needed to adapt and he got weaker as he received more damage and his healing slowed down.

"So this is all you had. More than Archie and the rest, i will give you that. But still no match for me." Xaveroth was about to destroy Daniel as he had a blast ready until he felt himself get hit buy a beam of energy and looking behind him he saw Nature was the one who fired it. "Fine then. You first." Xaveroth send a ball of fire right towards her and it engulfed her. Her screams of agony echoing across what was left of the hangout. Daniel felt a rush of power on hearing her screams and attack Xaveroth, getting him by surprise as he punched his face with all his might and launched more punches as him. Each on landing.

After that he tapped into his reserve energy and blasted Xaveroth with all he had. No sooner than the energy left him he felt it return. He waited for the dust to fade and he saw Xaveroth with bearly any visible injury other than a few bruises and burns.

"What was that? Your last gasp? Fine." Daniel felt his chest get a surge of pain as he was blasted in the chest and fell back.

While this was happening, the 2nd heart pulse a 3rd time. "It's time." A voice whispered underground with nobody to hear it.

As Daniel stood there, holding his chest with the gaping hole in it. He looked up and saw a blast of energy in Xaveroths hand, and he fired it.

Archie watch with horror as Xaveroth's blast vaporised Daniel and the heart dropped to the ground. He then blasted the heart which separated it into 3 pieces and kicked one off the edge and into the void.

"I win." He said chuckling as he turned to Archie. "Should i kill you too?" He said more to himself than Archie. "I think so. Leave no loose end." With that Xaveroth used the same attack and blasted Archie who ended up turning back to his base form. Xaveroth couldn't see any chance Archie was still alive as all of fate showed he wouldn't do anything else. Meaning he was dead.

Chuckling. Xaveroth teleported away. Happy with his victory.

What he didn't see however was that Archie was still alive. Archie picked himself up and gasped as he took a deep breath.

"How did he not finish me?" As Archie asked himself that he saw the corpse of Nature and the 2 heart pieces that were laying on the ground. Taking the body of Nature he took it underground and placed her next to others than he also lay out
in a line. As Archie walked out he picked up the 2 heart pieces and took them down below too. As he walked through the ruins of the hangout he almost broke. This place was once filled with the echos of companions and friends. Now its dead silent like the amount of corpses that litter the ground.

"The 3rd piece fell off the edge. There's no point. It's lost in the void now. Lost forever." He said as he sat down and looked at the 2 pieces. They were defeated and he knew it.

"Archie." A weak voice called out and as he followed it he found Blade who was barely clinging to life.

"Blade. You're still alive." He said happily.

"Yeah. But i don't know if it will be for long. Have we lost?" He asked with signs that showed acceptance. He had a strong feeling they have already lost.

"Yes. Nature...and Daniel are dead." Blade just nodded as he understood.

"Never did i think it would end like this. I thought it would have been over after-" He was cut off.

"After i was defeated?" King N was still alive and still in his cell.

"Yes." Archie said as he closed his eyes and faced the ground.

"What do we do now? Is there nothing that can be done?" King N asked.

"The only one immune to the effects of the evil energy was Daniel. And now he's dead." Archie reminded him as he sat down. Not knowing what to do and not caring. There was nothing that could stand up to Xaveroth. A heart bearer failed to beat him so what hope do they have now with just 1 heart that has no host and nobody can force it to take a host and the other one was gone. With that piece missing in the void it would be lost forever or worse. Destroyed if it his the non existence barrier where if you travel far enough outside the void, you would be erased from existence. It would never be reassembled.

"I give up." Archie said. His voice filled with every once of defeat, sadness and hopelessness.

It was at this moment, when the area was compleatly silent that all 3 of them heard 2 noises. One sounded like rolling and the other like clanging. The sound of something hitting off a surface. Not just that...but the whole area was filled with a pressure than increased in volume until it had even Archie struggling to stand and taking deep breaths. Even starting to sweat.

"I don't want to stay here." Annabelle said as she got angry from staying inside. The world she considered home or one of them was under attack and she was stuck inside. Something was happening and it cause bad guys to always win no matter what they face. So she also knew that fighting them was a bad idea.

"You know what your brother said. We need to stay here and remain hidden." Twilight told her as Annabelle's hands started to glow red and she punch a wall. Her hand punching clean through the steel.

"Wait. Didn't Daniel say before that he was merged with something that gave him powers? How do you have them?"

"He transferred them to me. As long as he is alive or unless he takes them back, i won't lose them." She said angrily.

"Oh. He can give powers to others? I didn't know that." She calmed down and turned to look at her friends.

"You're right. I need to calm down." Annabelle sat down and made and energy orb with her powers and started to play with it as a means to kill the boredom.
