(Entrance of the Everfree forest)

   Amy's eyes open up the moment Selena sent her back to the real world. Upon waking up she notice that she was outside in the middle of the night near the everfree forest. "The hell, how did I even get here?"

"By me captain dumbass. Took me a while to patch you up after what happen in Canterlot, but I think I did a good job at it."

"If only you could heal me much faster two days ago when I was fighting Nicko's brother."

"Oh I'm sorry who was stupid enough not to know the difference between the two?" Amy remained silent at Selena's comment. "Thought so now pay attention fool. Eric is hiding out in the castle of the royal sister, waiting for you four to come and meet him."

"Wait what do you mean us four?"

"Look to your left, your friends are waiting for at the roundview point."

Amy looked to her left to see Molly, Nicko, and Anson staring at her like she was wall candy. "Well that was quick."

“Holy Shit.”

“Oh my god…”

“Sis!?!”

"When there's no more room in hell, I Amy Anderson shall rise again!"

"Yep that's here, she pretty much the only idiot I know who would say something this stupid." Molly thought.

“Wow… You look… different.” Anson said blankly.

“Well, that’s what happens when you have a new set of powers. Selena used the last of her magic to restore mine and gave me a new set of powers before I woke up. Her magic is now mine.” Amy explained. “I may now be the Burning Crusader anymore, but now I’m something new. I may not be able to protect everypony like I wanted too, but I can damn well avenge them.”

“Well said, Crimson Avenger.” Nicko smirked a little. “That new look of yours looks rather… what’s the word?”

“Sexy?”

“DAMMIT, Anson!!” The Rune Slayer cursed before he smacked his brother over the top of the head. Soon, they got moving as quickly as possible. The recent outburst could have alerted any guards that had sharp enough hearing to hear from the other side of town. The four of them left town and proceeded to the Everfree forest. Nicko used a small rune that he conjured as a source of light for them to find their way in the darkness of the forest. It worked out well for the most part, but also attracted some unwanted attention.

        The four of them were soon blindsided by a Stone like Chimera that attacked them. The Lion like creature had a rock like mane and a tail that looked like a spearhead. Amy used the opportunity to test her new powers and struck the creature with Assault Strike before allowing Anson to perform the finishing blow. The Crimson Avenger was getting used to her new powers and felt great with being able to use her newfound skills to get back into combat. One of the things she needed to pay attention to though was called Blood for Blood. It allowed her to sacrifice her own health to deal extra damage to her opponent. So Amy needed to pay attention and make sure that she didn’t give up too much health in order to dish out pain to her opponents.

        After the battle with the Chimera, the three of them soon came across their destination and entered a broken stone courtyard that was part of the castle that was in front of them. It definitely did look haunted by appearance. But no one could feel anything that was off about it.

“Okay… so we spent twenty minutes going through a forest to end up here… Now what?” Before anyone could answer Molly’s question, a surge of energy coursed in front of them and led to the front gate of the castle opening. Strangely, no one was there to open it. This made Anson worried.

“Is it just me or does it feel like we're walking into a trap?”

"Really what gave that away?" Amy said in a sarcastic tone. "Was it the fact that it's an abandon castle in the middle of the fucking forest?"

"Glad to see you sense of humor hasn't change smart ass." Anson said as he entered the castle. Everyone else soon followed suit and now all four of them were inside the main hall of the building. The doors slammed behind them. The four humans were now stuck inside… with no way out.

“Well now, I seem to have some uninvited guests.” A foul demonic voice echoed throughout the room as everyone turned around. It showed Eric, standing there calmly and clapping his hands like he was congratulating them. Molly, out of pure anger, tried to use her Phantom Seekers to strike the Diabolic Esper, but the spinning blades just went through him as he laughed a little.

“Oh I’m sorry. I forgot to mention that this is just a holographic projection of myself. The real me is busy working on an important research project.”

“Coward!!” Molly taunted as she caught her Seekers and put them away.

“I wouldn’t consider myself as such. I would more likely say that I’m a genius at work. I’m close to being able to get farther with my work than before I was turned to stone by that Damned Celestia and Artemis. I want to be able to show it to you, but you will have to come find me first before then.”

The hologram began to fade as three black onyx doors began to rise from the floor. Each one looking more imposing than the last. “In order to come visit me, you must make it through the doors in front of you. You may only go through one door and only one door can be entered by two people. I wish all four of you the best of luck. It would be a shame if you died trying to reach me. But then again, it would also be quite hilarious!”

A foul and wicked laugh echoed throughout the cavern as Nicko and the others now looked at each other. There were four of them, but three doors. Plus, only one of them could be in a two man group.

“Hey, I just had an idea.” Anson said as he turned towards Amy and the others. “Why don’t Amy and Molly go together as a group? Since Discord is with me and Eris is with Nicko, we kind of already have an extra pair of eyes to watch our backs.”

“That’s a good idea.” Molly agreed. Amy shortly responded in approval of the plan. The two sisters soon walked through the door in the middle, while Anson walked through the door on the left and Nicko walked through the door on the right. The doors faded away once they stepped inside.

Amy and Molly were greeted by the sight of what looked like a barren wasteland. They had no idea where they were, but could tell that something was really off. Especially with the multiple sources of magic that they felt around the wasteland.

“Uh… Amy?”

“Yeah Molly?”

“Why do I feel like this is somehow a case of Deja Vu?”

That’s when they saw multiple pairs of glowing green eyes as far as the eye could see. Then, they found a pair of green snake like eyes in the front. A pair of eyes they saw before in Ponyville.

Queen Chrysalis.

“OH HELL NO!!!”

"Well if it isn't the Anderson sister's, glad to see you're doing well since are last encounter."

"Yeah your clone was fun to punch on, then again I think I prefer to punch on the real one than a fake." Amy said cracking her knuckles.

"Well what do you expect Amy? While the drones do the work, the queen get's lazy and fat by the day." Said Molly.

"......Have your mother ever told you to respect your elders?"

"Yes, but she didn't say anything about a bug who's been eating nothing but glass & bricks."

".........I'm so gonna enjoy killing you first, but before I do anything." Chrysalis snapped her fingers to summon her drones next to her. "Focus your attention on Amy Anderson, leave her little sister to me. I have a little score to settle with her after what she did to my children 3 months ago."

"Think you can handle yourself Molly?" Amy asked.

"Please if anything I been wait for this." Molly snapped her finger summoning her square companion apocalypse to her side. "It's payback time bitch." Next Chapter: Chapter 3: Youthful Rebellion Estimated time remaining: 3 Hours, 8 Minutes
