Lust

Our way down wasn't too long , which in my opinion was a good thing. I jumped from chain to chain till we reached the ground, and when I looked and saw our surroundings were made up of a violent storm. We were lead to a bridge of some kind and stretched along the bridge were a pairs of human statues arching over the bridge and were reaching out to one another.

"Bones what is this place!?" Rage shouted over the howling winds.

"The second circle in the inferno. Lust. Here you will find faces like Antony, Cleopatra and Helen of Troy each one of them are now forced to be blown about by the winds of Lust," Bones said as he dodged a soul that flew at him, only for it to smash into a statue before it was carried off.

"Wow good thing Cadence isn't here otherwise she would be furious at those who are trapped here," Twilight said.

"Enough chit chat. We need to get moving." I said with a serious expression and equally serious tone. Bones gave me a nod before he led us across the bridge and I saw a massive tower appear out of the storm. we arrived at the main doors and I opened them to see the demon Lust herself sitting on a lounging couch filing her nails.

"Hello Lust," Bones said which seemed to grab the she woman's attention.

"Oh shit not you again," Lust said before she tried to escape. I let out a sigh before I turned into smoke and flew ahead of Lust and solidified in her path causing her to run into me and fall on her butt.

"Calm down Lust."

"That a joke? Cause last time you were here you killed off the group." Lust said as she tried to crawl away from him.

"I just need you to open up a portal downward."

"Downward as in you want to go lower into the inferno?" Lust asked, making it sound as if Bones was delusional.

"Exactly."

"But why?"she asked

"That's none of your business," he answered.

"All you need to know is that it is important that we get further down." I said as I walked over to Bones's side.

"And if I decide not to help?" Lust asked with a smug grin.

"Hm I kill you here and now and walk trough this circle anyway, cutting down anything in my path." Bones said which caused the smirk to fall off Lust's face.

"Your a heartless bastard you know that." Lust said with a sneer.

"Mm-hm just means is that I won't show remorse with who I kill." he said while getting into Lust's face. I watched as Lust snapped her fingers causing a portal to appear.

"That will take you down to the next circle," Lust said.

"Can't it go lower?" Rainbow asked.

"No nit-wit. I can only make portals to go either up or down to the next circle. You lot want to go lower, you need to use our legs." Lust said as Bones stopped Rainbow from trying hit the demon for the 'nit-wit' comment.

"Thanks for your help." Bones said.

"Just don't come back here again." she said before she left us.

"I'll be honest, she was hot as hell. But she sure acted like a bitch." I said giving a pause. "Come on we need to go I'd like to get back as soon as possible so I can take a nap" I said as I walked through the portal and yelled 'allons-y!'.

Gluttony

When I left the portal I landed in a large open area. The ground looked to be rocky in places, but had plenty hills everywhere. The spot where I landed was in the middle of a valley and I could see several fat souls trying to eat anything in their sight. There was even raining lightly, so much that it created small puddles everywhere on the ground.I gave a disgusted sneer at the beasts as the feasted. It sickened me that there were people that acted this way in their life. I heard the rest of the group exit the portal and landed on the ground before said portal closed.

"Certainly calmer then above but what is this place?" Rage asked.

"The third circle, Gluttony. Here are those that could never be satisfied in life, but now they will be forever denied sanctification." Bones said.

"They're devouring the food like pigs." Nightmare asked, and I could hear the disgust in her voice.

"Yeah. Don't seem to be a lot of punishing goin' on here." Applejack said.

"Oh they'll be punished however I'd rather not be here when that happens," Bones said before he was about to walk, but stopped. "Something you see?" I heard him say and I brought my attention to what was going on. I saw Celestia was looking at something with a worried look only a mother would have, and I then brought my attention to what she was looking at.

"Those damned, they're ponies." Celestia said as she pointed at a pile, showing Equestrian pony souls that were eating away at the pile like there was no tomorrow.

"Wait a second I recognize one of those guys. A Templar that goes by the name of Gold Mine; Ash assassinated him at the Masquerade Party before Hearths Warming." Rage said as he pointed to a soul drinking from a puddle as if he were a mutt.

"What is he doing?" Rainbow asked. I watched as Bones waved his hand in front of his face and let the droplets fall into his open palm before he gave it a sniff. I did the same and smelt the liquid, and found it to smell like raspberries.

"Smells like wine." Bones said.

"Fitting. There was a version of him in my world and he was a complete asshole, but I don't know what he was like here so I could be wrong. But still I don't see what the problem is." I said with a dismissive wave of my hand.

"They are still my subjects Elisa!" Celestia yelled as she snapped at me.

"A subject that made a wrong decision in life, then ended with him being here. Besides you didn't honestly think the inferno was just for humans did you?" Bones asked.

"It's not Celestia. It's for every wrong doing creature, no matter the race. I don't give a rats ass if they were your subjects, your friends, or even a lover; if they are in the inferno it's for a good reason." I said, adding my own thoughts. I was about to continue when a massive roar thundered across the hills, causing me to look around to find the source. us that made the dammed souls stop eating and tremble in fear.

"What was that?" Luna asked.

"Punishment time. We need to move," Bones said as he ran in a random direction away from us. It took me a second but I collected my thoughts as I motioned for everyone else to follow. It didn't take me long to get behind him.

"Bones the hell made that noise?!" I yelled as we traversed the hills. He didn't get the chance to answer as he suddenly fell to the ground and was dragged in the opposite direction of where we were running. I immediately stopped and looked back to see what happened and saw a massive three headed worm-like monster with four paws supporting it's body. 'Wait, that kind of looks like Cerberus..... but isn't he a dog and not a worm?' I thought to myself, but stopped when I saw multiply pale yellow tentacles heading our way causing me to turn my attention to Rage. "Rage I want you lot to go. Protect the girls." I said as I ran towards the tentacles.

'I hope this doesn't go where I think it'll go.' I thought as I unholstered my pistols and fired at the slimy things, causing a screech from the worm. I saw that the thing had it's attention directed towards me and also had more tentacles coming my way. "Fuck." I said as I re-holstered my guns and drew Shi.

'No don't use me!' I heard her plea.

"Sorry Shi, but it's either you get slime all over your blade or I get caught by those things. If I was still a guy I'd have no trouble doing what you asked but," I said as I dodged several tentacles. "I'm a girl now, so I'm not going to take my chances with what my mind thinks up."

'Fine but please clean me when this is over.' she said.

"I promise you I will. Now lets kill this thing." I thought as I jumped into the air and took a slash at the head on the right. When I pulled back I saw that I cut a little bit into the exterior of its skin. I couldn't study more as a pair of jaws clamped down in front of me causing me to back up in the air. I decided to come at it full force and when Shi connected with it's head, she cut clean through. Though the cut was exactly clean per say, but it didn't matter as I watched the creature thrash around and let out another deafening screech. The heads jerked from side to side and then I was smacked by one of their heads, sending me flying.

I gave a groan as I got back to my feet. "Ugh, I don't want to have to do this but I guess I have to." I said as I prepared to release Shi. "Scream, Shi no sakebi!" I yelled as I turned her into her scythe form before heading back into battle with Cerberus. I raced forward and sliced through a as pocket that was under the left one's head. It screamed and flailed its head and I took the chance to latch onto it's neck with Shi. But I didn't stop as I circled around his neck and then when I was heading towards the ground I gave a good yank, separating the head from the neck. I watched as the head fell to the floor and sank into it. I had to move out of the way as the middle, and final head snapped at where I was. I could tell this thing was pissed at me, but I didn't give a damn. It could feel any sort of way towards me and I still would not care.

Anyways it tried to snap at me a few more times, and each time I'd deliver a hard blow or slice to it's face. On its next attack and ave a little more strength into my attack, causing it to scream and fall to the floor. I ran up to it and as I was in mid air the thing quickly brought it's head up and opened it's jaws. "You cheeky dick waf-." I said as it's jaws snapped shut around me. I felt it's tongue rap around me and heard it trying to eat me as it was bringing me to it's stomach but I let lose my rage and bloodlust. But I didn't get the chance to let a shock-wave of magic as I felt something brush against me crouch, causing me to let out a yelp and loose concentration. I felt my face heat up as I was pushed to the back of it's throat, and down it, while hearing Shi scream 'ew' repetitively. It didn't take long until I reached the beasts stomach, where I immediately fell into a pool of liquid. The only thing I regret was screaming as I fell into the gross and strange liquid.

I regained my scenes and swam to the surface of the liquid and took a large breath and then proceeded to cough like hell. That stuff tasted disgusting, and down right foul. I heard someone cough gently behind me and saw Bones with his face directed towards me, so I guess he was looking at me.

"Not exactly a pleasant way down huh," he said as he offered me a helping hand, and I took his hand and he started to pull me out.

"No, especially when the tongue gropes your privates." I said as my blush came back once again, but before i could get out i heard more screaming and saw someone fall into the stomach. Said person landed between us, causing both Bones and I to fall back into the liquid. 'Well at least me mouth was shut that time.' I thought as I got out of the damn stuff.

"Aw nasty are we in this thing's stomach?" I heard Rage's voice ask from in the pool.

"Yes. Yes you are, and what happened to going with the girls!?" I yelled as Bones and Rage emerged. He didn't get the chance to respond as I heard more screams and one by one the girls came through the throat and into the liquid. I judged that they would land in the same pool that I did, and when they did they hit both Rage and Bones causing them to fall back into the pool.

"Ok that...was so...not cool." Rainbow said as she rubbed her head.

"So this is the belly of this vial beast." Nightmare said as she looked around.

"Hey! Can you lot continue our conversation after you get off me?!" I heard Bones yell as he tried to get out the muck.

"Oh sorry Bones," Rage said as he and the others got off of Bones, except for Rarity. "You too."

"But it's so...disgusting," Rarity said. I watched as Bones elbowed her in the side which made her fall of Bones and into the liquid. I gave a sort giggle and when I stopped I saw that Applejack and Rainbow were giggling at Rarity's expense. I turned around and looked at our surroundings and saw many souls in here as well, most had been decaying but they still moved.

"The inferno can't get more horrible then this place." Luna said causing me to look back at our group and saw she was looking around.

"Wanna bet?" Bones asked as he got up and started to wipe off the sludge from his body.

"Well since everyone is here. We better go and find a way to kill this this, least we become like them." I said as I twirled Shi, but stopped and pointed her at a large collection of souls that were in another pool of the liquid.

"Relax. Fortunately this isn't the first time I've been eaten by this overgrown worm." Bones said as he got up and started to leave the pool.

"Well then how and please don't tell me we don't have to use the back door." Rage said.

"Unfortunately we can't kill it like Elisa intended, but yes there is a way out without being a pile of shit. Come on." Bones said as he led everyone along through Cerberus's bowls until we arrived at a pulsing black organ. A heart if I wasn't mistaken.

"Is that what I think it is?" I asked as i looked at it in disgust.

"Cerberus's black heart. Care to do the honors in destroying it?" Bones asked as he looked at me.

"I'd love to." I said as I crouched down before jumping into the air. I prepared my magic and, "Shi no surasshu!" I yelled as I twirled around. When my blade started to slice into the heart, my black flames started to spread onto the heart. I watched as the flames burned the heart before I jumped back and landed right in front of the group. "There that should do it."

"Oh I forgot to mention you all might want to hold your breath," Bones said cryptically.

"Huh?" Everyone asked him, but I didn't get to ask him what he meant when suddenly blood rushed out of the heart like a geyser and it washed us all away I allowed the current to wash us out of Cerberus's mouth and over some chains that were suspended over an abyss I managed to grab onto one and I saw the others had the same idea.

"Well that wasn't so bad," Bones said, but the only thing I heard after that was a roar. When I looked up I saw that it come from Cerberus and I he was looking at us. "Crap."

I watched as Cerberus slammed his head against the chains, shaking us off and caused us to plummet into the abyss.

Greed

I gave a groan as I woke up and took in my surroundings. In front of me was a large machine that was a combination of conveyor belts, gears and cogs. I rubbed my head as I listened to the screams of the damned as they were killed over and over again. I watched as they were either killed by the moving gears, melted in large bats of molten gold or smothered with gold. My attention was brought to the giant mechanical machine in front of me by a large blast of steam and a whistle. I then saw someone standing atop the machine, someone I hoped to never see again.

"It's nice to see the whore could come to see me." said the Zebra. You remember the bastard that kidnapped Lucky and my Lucky and my daughter? Well the same guy was up there looking at me as if I was nothing.

"And it's nice to see you again you son of a bitch." I said as I grabbed Shi before I got to my feet. "I always knew you were greedy, and It is befitting that you are in this circle."

"Well I don't mean to gloat but Lucifer offered me a thousand years free of torture and endless whores if I were to kill you. And I intend to keep my side of the deal." He said as a long sword was summoned into his right hand. I gave him a sneer as I jumped into the air, all the way up and over him before flipping and landing on my feet. When I landed up on the top I turned around and faced him.

When I took a good look at him not much seemed to had changed for him. Though there were parts of his flesh that was open, as if his skin was too tight it ripped in spots. Along with the tears in his flash there were multiple puncture wounds all over his body, which I had to guess was Bones's doing back at the empire. Besides his appearance the only things he had on him was a pair of raggedy shorts and a set of chains that went around his neck and under his arms. I could also feel that he seemed stronger than when he was alive, which to me was good.

"You won't make it out alive." he said as he got into a defensive stance. I looked at in with a look that said 'fucking really?', because I mean fucking really? That's the best thing he could think of, and out of all the things he could of said..... he said that. I give up, just fuck it. I tried not to think of what he said as I aimed Shi at him with my left hand.

"I don't plan on it," I started as I covered my right eye. "Release restrictions level five." I said as my power spiked. I saw that my opponent took a step back out of caution before he charged at me. I gave a smirk as I charged him as well, and when we got close to each other we swung our weapons at one another. They connected with a 'cling' and I tried to push him back whit Shi, creating sparks along the blade. I jumped back just as his knee came forward in an attempt to hit me in the gut.

"How is it that you are able to match me?" he asked as he ran up to me and to a swing, but I deflected in with Shi's help.

"Because when you got me back in your throne room my mind was clouded by rage, but it's bot as of this moment. Plus I haven't reached into my full power yet." I said as I swung shi at his stomach. The blade cut through his skin and I watched as blood flowed from the wound, but there was something off. Only blood came out, no organs. I was horrified to see his wound heal and close as he jumped back. He cupped where the wound was as he looked at it before looking back at me with a smug grin.

"Looks like its going to take a lot to kill me. I doubt you could do anything seeing how I'm already dead." he said as he flicked his wrist, shaking the blood off. After that he came back at me even worse than before, his strikes were stronger and more precise. I had to do everything in my power to make sure he didn't push me off of the edge. 'At times like this it makes me wish that I had Senbonzakura with me.' I thought as I dodged the zebra's blade once more.

"Aw am I not good enough?" Shi asked.

'It's not that Shi, the reason is so I can use that ban-ki instead our yours. If I were to us yours,' I thought as I continued to dodge his swings. "then this battle would be over in a few seconds. And this is actually fun!" I finished as I jumped over him and tried to slash him as I did. It didn't work but at least I tried. I charged him and did the same thing he did before, causing him to go on the defensive. But on my final strike he actually was able to parry it, much to my shock. I lost my holding on Shi and she was sent spinning off the platform and probably to the ground below.

The next thing I know I felt a burning sensation on my left cheek as I am sent flying back from where I stood. When I look back up I saw that he was standing there with his left hand outstretched, and it looked like it was starting to turn red. It took a second by when it hit me I started to get pissed. Because he just bitch slapped me.

"Had enough?" he asked as he walked over to me and stood there, looking down on me.

"Hehehehe you think I'd give up so easily?" i asked as I brought my right leg back and kicked him in his crouch, hard. He immediately let go of his long sword and cupped his junk. I mean, yes I know that was a dirty move, but this isn't a professional match, this is hell. And there ain't no rules to the duel, none what so ever. Plus he had it coming.

I got up and put some distance between us so i could get an advantage from him. As soon as I backed away he got back up and took his sword in hand before charging once again. I felt his power increase as he got closer and I barely had time to dodge as the floor were I stood was turned into a crater. But when I jumped into the air he grabbed onto my right leg.

"Where do you think you're going?" he asked as he swung me.

"Shit!" I said as I was slammed into the floor. He swung me over and made me hit the spot on the other side of him before he swung me back into the first spot where he made me hit. He did this a few more times before I got tired of it, so I cupped my right eye again and prepared to release more power. Because once again I underestimated him; I wasn't expecting him to have this power.

"Release restrictions level four." I said as bone came from under my skin and formed armor across my skin. They bone covered my shins, hands and wrists, elbows and knees. This was my level four power, unlike level five, which is Luna at full power, this is as strong as Celestia is at full power. But it also adds light weight armor onto my body which helps me defend against attacks. Add that with my heirro, it makes this me fast and almost indestructible. But another thing changes as well, for my right eye starts to glow red, mainly because when the fourth level of my restrictions is removed it releases my hollow powers and even more power.

I twirled around and kicked him in the face, sending him off the platform. I landed on my feet and looked over to where he landed and saw that he was near a large hole filled with molten gold. I took one step forward and hopped into the air. My movement was so fast that if the naked eye were to see they would think I would of teleported, if not for the large blast of air that came after. When I got over to where he was he seemed to be recovering from my attack as he stood up, and looked at me in rage.

"How dare you!" he yelled as he ran up to me and tried to punch me. When his fist was close enough I gabbed a hold of it and looked at him indifferently.

"Really? That's all you have?" I asked as I started to tighten my grip and twist his arm. "I mean really I was expecting more from you, seeing how you kicked my ass in the world of the living." I finished as I decked him in the head. By the power of my attack he created a crater below us, and I continued to hit him in the head until he stopped trying to get up. So I let go and turned away.

When I was a few feet away I felt an arm being placed on me and I grabbed a hold of it. I found that it was the bastards hand, so I planted my fight foot on his chest and pulled at his arm. I eventually torn it off, causing him to drop to the ground and scream in pain. I looked at the arm for a second before I through it into the molten pit of gold behind him.

"Y-you bitch! Y-you'll pay!" he yelled as he charged me and tried to punch me with his other arm. His fist connected with my face, but I had activated my heirro causing him to bring his fist back and scream even more. When I got a good look at it I saw that it was completely broken, honestly this guy was starting to annoy me.

"No. I don't think I will." i said without emotion as I walked over to him and picked him up by his chin. "For the crimes that you have committed in your time on the living world and in death, I sentence you to a place for worse than hell." I said as I activated a power I have yet to use since becoming a death. This punishment doesn't have a name, but when I activate it it will cause the person I so chose to relive all their past sins and feel the pain from the people he or she hurt. Also it will go on for as long as I want, and there is nothing you can do to stop it.... well other than getting me to deactivate it. But not after what he has done.

I looked him in the eyes and I could feel his fear as the punishment started to take effect. He screamed in pure agony for a few seconds before his body went limp in my grasp. His eyes were smoldering remains of what they once were as they started off into nothingness. I let go of his body and let it fall to the ground before turning around and walking away, but before I could go anywhere I saw Bones standing there looking at me with a look I couldn't quite understand.

"What?" I asked, still in an emotionless tone.

"Nothing, but if your done playing with the damned we have five more circles to get through." he said.

"Well let's get going then." I said as I walked past him. I didn't really matter to me seeing how I had fun, and giving him his punishment felt good to do. When we got back to the group I and picked up Shi, and as soon as I touched her handle I heard her scream.

"The hell was that!?" she yelled, and I noticed she had a more mature voice. So I had to deal with the bitchy side of her...... great.

'You slipped from my grasp and landed down here.' I answered.

"Okay, but what in gods name made you think it was okay to unlock your forth restriction and open your hollow powers?"

'Because he was stronger than I gave him credit for. Still kicked his ass.' I thought with a smirk.

"Well please don't do that again." Shi said in her child voice. "I thought you would have been killed." she said with a sniffle.

'Hey don't think that way,' I said as I rubbed her handle and looked into the blade. "I'm not going anywhere anytime soon ya hear?"

"I know just please don't do anything like that again?" she asked as she gave another sniffle.

'I promise you Shi I won't do anything so reckless.' I said as I walked to the group.

"Thank you." she said before going quiet, but the next thing I heard was a loud roar.

"Don't tell me that was Cerberus or some other creatures trying to eat us." Twilight said.

"No that would be the dragons." Bones said calmly, as if nothing was the matter.

"Dragons?" Fluttershy squeaked.

"Yeah dragons who let their greed get the better of them but anyway let's go still got a journey ahead." he said. Bones led us beneath the machine and pulled a leaver, which opened a hole before he jumped in. I watched as everyone else did the same so I just shrugged and followed them. When I landed I saw that everyone was looking around, and when I saw where we were, all I saw was trees. So I guess we are in a forest, which only means that we are in the circle of Anger.

"God it reeks of fury." I said as I took in my surroundings.

"Wouldn't be surprised if it did, after all this is the third circle Anger." Bones said.

"I cannot stand this place, I can hear every word here being shouted at me. Urrgh it hurts." Rage said while clutching his head. I can understand seeing how he does sometimes act as his name suggests, but still we need to get out of her fast. I fear that this affect him in the long run if we stay here too long.

"Don't worry we just need to get out of this place," Bones said as he led us through the forest. That was until we stopped when he found a soul filled with golden cracks. It was on it's knees with it's arms wrapped around it as if it were cold. It took me a second but I remembered those were souls that were lost in the inferno by means they can't control. All I will say is it has been long time since I was in the inferno o some things will slip my mind. I watched as he walked over to it.

"Bones what are you doing?" Celestia asked but he didn't answer. Instead he stood before it until it looked at him, and when it did Bones grabbed a hold of its throat and looked at it more intensely. That was before it glowed brightly before it disappeared.'Guess he sent it to either purgatory or to God.' I thought.

"What was that all about?" Applejack asked as the brightness died down.

"A lost soul sometimes rift's to the inferno open up by accident and it sometimes sucks in members of the living and when that happens, the sentinels kill them. However since they haven't been sentenced by Death, they become souls and can't move from where they die. Nor can they move on, till shall we say a wraith intervenes and sends it to either heaven or Minos." he said.

"So that was-," Luna started but Bones cut her off.

"I was sending it off to meet God and his angels." he said as he continued with his trip. Everyone just took what he said and followed him. Bones led us through the trees until we ended up to a black sludgy river. "The river Styx."

"The fools." I said as I looked over the damned souls fighting within the river.

"Any ideas on how to cross?" Applejack asked. Bones's response was a snap of his fingers, which caused a small wooden boat to rise out of the water. It looked like a typically wooden boat and it eve had a lantern hanging on a long stick at the bow of the boat.

"All aboard those who can't fly," he said as he got into the boat.

"In that I believe we would be safer swimming." Rarity said. I watched as Bones leaned over the side of the boat and tore off a piece of his cloak before dropping it into the water. As soon as it touched the blackness the screams of anger echoed from the water and made the piece of cloth sizzle and disintegrate into nothing.

"Still want to swim?" he asked, causing those that couldn't fly to shake their heads rapidly. "Then get in."

I saw that Not wanting to test my patience Applejack, Pinkie and Rarity got in the boat and I summoned a staff and pushed off the shore I steered us across the Styx while the others flew above I could tell the three that were in the boat with me were uncomfortable about being this close to the damned so I decided to ease their fears.

"There's an enchantment on this boat that prevents the damned from try to attack us also even if it we b some miracle the did this river has a guardian that protects those that cross called Phlegyas and he was once a king in life." he said.

"Well that's reassuring," Applejack said.

"Oh, oh why don't we play eye spy first one to spot Phlegyas wins," Pinkie said.

"Really darling how are we to spot him if we don't even know what he looks like?" Rarity asked.

"Oh don't worry he's very hard to miss," Bones said as we continued our path across the river. till we made it to the other side and was met with a volcanic like area filled with fire, ruins, and decaying skeletons. All the things you'd expect to find in hell.

"Okay, where are we?" Rainbow asked.

"We're on the boarders of the City of Dis, a place called The Plains of The Titans. Long ago the city reached all the way out here that is until a great calamity from another world came and wrecked havoc through hell, destroying everything in his path. Legend goes that just speaking his name is a bad omen." Bones said.

"He as in there was only one guy who did this?" Applejack asked.

"So what's his name?" Rainbow asked. I was listening closely to what Bones was saying because it was starting to interest me. I mean he did say that just saying the name would bring bad news, so that begs the question. Who is he? I looked around me just to make sure no one else was listening before I focused on the others.

"I don't know his true name but his title was 'The Slayer'," Bones said causing a giddy expression to appear on my face. In my excitement I accidentally let out a *squee*.

"What's with the fan-girl crap?' Rage asked.

"I've heard of this guy and he was the main protagonist in my favorite game back when I was still human." I said with a blush.

"He's a game character to what?" Rainbow asked.

"Doom." Luna and Nightmare said in sync before they looked at each other and giggled. Suddenly I head a humming sound of something powering up and that's when realization hit me like a train.

"Get down!" Bones shouted before I hit the deck. I covered my head with my arms as I waited for debris to fall on me. All I heard was a large blast and a explosion. When it was over I looked up and saw that the ruins went from massive to just waist high. I would not want to know what would have happened to us if we didn't duck. I looked over and saw that Bones was in a crouching position as he looked over the wall. I decided to do the same and when I did I saw a Cyberdemon from Doom 4. 'God damn it. I swear there better not be anything else from the game.' I grumbled.

"Bones care to explain what that was for?" Celestia asked in a annoyed tone and clearly not aware of the new threat so I just pointed at the new demon who in response roared at us.

"A Cyberdemon. Be lucky, Bones just saved your ass." I said as I turned Shi back into her suppressed form as I looked at Celestia before looking over at Bones. "You want to tag team him?" I asked.

"Why the hell not, after all this guy and me have a score to settle from my first time here." Bones said.

"Okay then lets do this." Elisa said as she summoned a shotgun. I could only think of one song that would go great with this situation, and that was the theme song from Doom 4. Hell To Pay.

As soon as the music started to play in my head we rushed the beast. I watched as we got closer to the demon, it started to raise its intact arm. It then brought it down and created a wave of hellish energy that was sent to us, which forced us to have to dodge. I jumped back and landed on a destroyed stair case, and when I looked back at the demon I saw Bones was trying to hit him in the head but it used it's thrustes to charge him instead. When Bones got close the demon swung his right arm, which connected with Bones's midsection, sending him flying into wall across the room. Rage and I took action and jumped at the demon and let lose on it with our shotguns, but it seemed that it wasn't doing anything. But I did notice that when I hit it with the bones that covered my hands and wrists it seemed to grunt in pain. Which means that it was having an adverse affect on it.

I saw that Rage had jumped back and was reloading so I decided to do the same, but as soon as I jumped back I heard a click. I turned to the source of the noise and saw Bones holding a multi-barrel turret which I remembered it being the chaingun from the game. It no time the guns barrels extended and let lose a spray of bullets at the monster. I noticed that he wasn't letting up, and soon the gun stopped as the end of the barrels were bright red. 'Idiot.' I thought as the demon fired a barrage of missiles at him from his left arm. Bones dropped his gun as the missiles soared to him before he took cover. I looked over to Rage and motioned for us to continue our attack. I reached onto my back and pulled Shi from her sheath and coated her in death fire, and I saw that Rage was getting his sword as well.

"Why didn't you use me from the beginning?" she asked as I got into a combat stance. It was a relativly known one, one where you angle your center of gravity a little forward as you aim your midsection back and have the blade of the sword facing upward as you have your arms behind you head. If you cant get a clear picture you can find it in the second episode of the anime Anti-magic Academy

'Because I thought I could get him with a shotgun, but I guess I was wrong.' I thought as I charged the demon. We attacked the thing multiple times, leaving a lot of damage behind but before we could do anything else an explosion erupted from the beasts chest and when I looked back I saw Bones was holding an RPG. I gave him a smile as I looked back to our target and saw that where Bones had hit him was just a bloody mess of exposed muscles and tissue. But that still wasn't enough as I saw it looked even more pissed than it was before. I dropped to the ground and watched as the cyberdemon plunged its right arm into the ground and pulled out a wall of rock shot out of the ground at Bones. I could only watch as the wall hit the wall behind him, causing it to fall and pinned him beneath it. The cyberdemon the started to charge its cannon up and before I could stop it a halberd was thrown and embedded into its left arm causing the cannon to die down. I looked in the direction the handle was facing and saw that it had came from Celestia. Luna and Nightmare were standing beside her with their horns glowing before they unleashed a large blast of magic at the demon's face. This caused it to stumble back and fall to one knee from their attack.

"Take it out!" Bones shouted. Rage suddenly appeared on the demons back with his shotgun but before he could do anything several explosions erupted from the demons back. Remember when I said that sometimes important stuff slips my mind? Well this is one of those times. I had forgot that the programmers had given the cyberdemon missile pods on his back just in case of going against multiple enemies, which I honestly think is stupid seeing how there is only one person in the game that will go against it. But I digress. So to sum it up, Rage just got a face full of rockets. I stood there in shock as I watched the smoke slowly clear, and when it finally did I saw that Rage was still on the monsters back and his shotgun seemed to ready to go.

"My turn." Rage said as he released the trigger, and with a massive demonic roar from the weapon a massive hole appeared in the cyberdemon's chest. The thing slumped to the ground and I sheathed Shi as I rushed over to Bones; I saw that the other alicorns were coming over as well. They helped me pick up the wall enough for Bones to crawl out of it. Once he was clear we let go of it causing it to shatter into pieces.

"Thanks. But I didn't know you cared Celestia." Bones said as he looked at the aforementioned alicorn.

"I don't. However I'd rather not be in your debt for saving us Bones." she said as she looked at him with a look I couldn't figure, but I could sense the anger behind her words. 'What a bitch.' I thought as we all got back into our group.

"Well I say everything turned out well but you said you had a score to settle with that guy Bones so what did you do to piss him off?" Rage asked as he came over to us while examining something in his hand. When I looked closer I saw that it was a tooth.

"Long story. But for the record I did nothing and finally what is that?" Bones asked as he pointed to the item in Rage's hand.

"Hm, oh just a tooth I knocked out of our friend there." Rage said as he continued to examine it.

"Well what are you going to do with it?" I asked as I got close to Rage and looked at the tooth.

"I'm gonna keep it make for a nice souvenir and I'd rather take this then lug the beast's head around with me." he said.

"Why would you want to carry his head?" Bones asked questioningly. I knew why, being a wraith he too doesn't like it when you mess with someone's corpse, weather it's a friendly or if it's an enemy. Doesn't matter since your defiling someone's temple, the thin they called home during their time in the world of the living.

"I'll admit the head would look nice mounted on my wall as a reminder of what happened here, however, I know you two would sooner gut me then let that happen even if it is a demon. So I'll respect that but since I knocked this out of his mouth before I killed him, I figured this way everyone wins. I get shall we call it a memento and I don't defile a body." Rage said with a shrug.

"I don't like it however your right. You haven't defiled the body since you knocked that out while fighting it, so I'll let this slide." Bones said.

"I'm glad that you didn't cut his head off, but what do we do now?" I asked as I moved away and stood straight up.

"We keep walking," Bones said as he started walking.

"Can't we take a break?" Rainbow asked causing him to stop and look back at her.

"Yeah I'm pooped." Pinkie said.

"Rest could mean death much sooner then you can blink. We keep going." He said as he continued and we all followed behind him. We continued across the plains of ruin until we came across several giant demonic corpses each one slain in a different ways like one had several slashes and a hole in the forehead but it was as if someone did it from inside and leapt out of it but soon we came to a wall that seemed impossibly high and before the wall was a deep moat of fire and going over the moat was a single bridge that led to a set of thick iron doors that seemed to have taken the weather of time.

*whistle* "Sure made this to last didn't they," Applejack said.

"Had to this just goes to show how afraid the demons were of The Slayer when he was here." Bones said.

"So they built this to keep him out...Seems like overkill," Twilight said.

"Believe me, when I say this guy was as tenacious as he was brutal." he said before he walked over to a massive set of doors and placed a hand on one and began to push. At first nothing happened, had to dig deep and soon I managed to push the massive door open just enough to squeeze through and so I went in first and just managed to fit. "C'mon but fair warning it's a tight squeeze."

I watched as one by one they squeezed through the gap until all that was left was Celestia and Nightmare. But Celestia seemed to be having trouble getting through, and by trouble I mean that here giant tits and ass was stopping her.

'Woman needs to lay off the sweets.' I thought to myself as I watched Bones, Rage, and Luna try and pull her while Nightmare was pushing Celestia through the gap.

"I thought I told you to lay off the midnight snacks sister," Luna said as we pulled.

"But the cake had cream filling you know how hard it is for me to resist that," Celestia said.

"After we're out of this forsaken place I'm having Perfect Serve put you on a diet,"

"Not happening sister and in case you forgot I'm the eldest here."

"Well guess what sister, I'm the queen."

"Are the pair of you done cause if so we can get back to getting Sun-Butt here unstuck," Rage said, and I had to agree with him there seeing how their rivalry was starting to annoy me.

"You'll pay for that later." Celestia said before we managed to pull her out of the gap.

"Alright Nightmare your turn." Bones said.

"I doubt I'll fair better then Celestia considering our figure is similar but alright." Nightmare said before she tried to come through but she also got stuck. 'These girls have ridiculously large breasts.' I thought as I looked at mine. I mean I have no room to talk seeing how mine is close to their size. I looked back up and saw that Bones had grabbed onto Nightmare and tried pulling her through, but to no avail.

"Okay I have an idea, but it ma be a little weird and uncomfortable."

"As long as it get's me unstuck."

I saw Bones nod as he wrapped his arms under Nightmare's, almost as if he was hugging her, and placed a foot on the door for leverage. By doing so it would make it a lot easier, and using his strength in both his arms and leg I watched as he managed to pull Nightmare out in one pull , but the result was them rolling along the ground until they stopped with Nightmare atop him in a very suggestive manner. I tried my hardest not to laugh as Bones and Nightmare looked at each other.

"Um...thank you," Nightmare said with a blush.

"Oh uh...of course," Bones said before he realized he was still holding onto her, and let her go. But when he got up he saw that he had gained an audience. Me included, with my phone.

"Keep staring and I'll charge you 100 bit a second," Bones said causing everyone else to snap out of their trance.

"So where are we now?" Luna asked.

"The City of Dis." I said as I handed Bones three hundred bits. It was a cute scene, plus what he doesn't know is that I snagged a picture of the two in that embarrassing situation.

"Close this place is the combination of the City of Dis and The Tombs of Heresy". When I took in my surroundings I saw thousands of towers around us, each one made up of stone coffins. They all had cracks, which if you looked closely you could see fire flickering and hear the screams of those trapped inside.

"Who were all these souls?" Nightmare asked.

"Heretics. One and all." Bones answered.

"Hey, any idea what that thing is?" Rage as as he pointed to a single coffin that was lying down in the middle of the path.

When I looked closer I saw a small red and black imp with a long flexible tail and two horns, made of flesh, on it's head that curved backwards over it's head. The thing barely reached up to my and was sniffing around the grave.

"Follow me and quietly," I said as I went to take a path around the creature.

"Wait as in we should go around that thing I doubt he's that much trouble," Rage said as he started to walk over to the thing.

"Rage I wouldn't do that." Bones warned.

"C'mon I'll be fine," Rage said as he walked over to the imp but I as he got close I stopped paying attention as I started to think. We have been here for some time and have caused immense disruption in the way that stopped they way that the inferno worked. S why haven't they sent the higher level sentinels to deal with us? This was starting to get strange and this was the reason as to why I haven't closed up my power. I just hope we don't have to go against Lucifer, because I know that he'll be pissed at me for the time he went against Ash in the forest. I had noticed after Ash faced him that I subconsciously was absorbing his magic or power and I think he'd be pissed when he saw me next. I was too busy thinking and had missed what had happened with Rage and the imp but I did catch the end of it.

I watched as the imp charged with it's mouth wide open. "Catch!" Rage shouted as he tossed a rock at the imp, which landed in it's mouth and went down it's throat. After about two seconds the imp was running around like a headless chicken with smoke pouring from it's mouth until it ran out of sight.

"Keep on running you filthy little hermit crab that spicy meatball on the house!" Rage shouted as he pounded on his chest twice in his so-called victory.

"What was that cause Rage had his butt handed to him," Rainbow snickered causing Rage to growl.

"An imp the most annoying little pest's in hell." Bones said.

"So that wasn't a demon?" Nightmare asked.

"No, those little bastards like to pick off pieces off damned souls whenever they find them." He said just as the ground suddenly began to tremble violently. Which caused everyone to collapse and for the ground to fall away, leaving a dark abyss in it's place. After that the shaking ceased entirely.

"I didn't know Hell had earthquakes," Luna said.

"It doesn't that was the Harrowing of Hell Christ's death forever shakes this place," Bones said.

"So what now the way forward is gone," Applejack said.

"Not necessarily for you see we just need to go down."

"And how do you purpose we get down?" Celestia asked.

"Oh lord in heaven do I need to spell it out to you?" Bones asked as he walked over to the edge and looked at us. "We jump."

"Okay that's just crazy," Rage said.

"Most of you have wings to carry others remember and if it's height our worried about don't sweat it's a lot further down then it looks," he said before he jumped backwards while doing a spin and began to plummet face first into the dark. I gave a shrug as the others jumped and I followed behind them as I swan dived over the edge. I fell for a few seconds before hearing Bones yell. "I AM STILL FALLING," he shouted.

"REMEMBER TO FALL WITH STYLE!!" I yelled to the others below me. We fell for some time before I could finally see the ground below us, which was coming rather fast. I landed down in the classic superhero landing before standing up and taking in my surroundings. I noticed we were on the shore of a river, and not any river but a river of blood. The river radiated such heat from it that it felt as if it were lava. But I guess that was because it was boiling right not if the bubbles were anything to go by. I also noticed that there were highly decorated statues half way under the red liquid. Among the statues I saw hundred of damned souls trying to get out but couldn't get close to the shore. But my attention was brought to something else when I heard the group gasp. What I saw was bones with a set of wings on his back making me stare at them.

"What?" he asked.

"You...have...wings," Nightmare said.

"Oh," he said before his wings vanished. "It's a spell I use when I need to fly."

"So what circle is this?" Rarity asked clearly disgusted by the river, and causing me to look at the river.

"The seventh circle Violence here are the souls that did violence against others and now the are left to be boiled in the blood they have shed." he said as he looked at the river.

"God knows we should be in here." I said as I looked over to Rage.

"No kidding you, me and Ash probably spilled enough blood to fill this river hundred times over during our years." Rage said.

"I just prey we don't find him among them," Luna said sadly. 'Me too sister.' I thought as we continued our journey. Me and Bones lead the group to a stone bridge and walked across it. I looked back and saw many looking at the river probably hoping they didn't see Ash among the damned.

"I don't believe it," Rage said while looking over the right side of the bridge.

"What is it Rage?" Celestia asked. Rage's was simply point into The Bloody Phlegethon and when I followed the direction I saw the small town that I had to help deal with before I left. If you are thinking Sunnytown then you are correct! Just hope we have to deal with the asshole zombies in that accursed town.

"Is that...Sunny Town?" Rainbow asked.

"You all know what that is?" Bones asked.

"Yes we do. Ash sent this place here after we saved a mare and her daughter from the town." I said as I looked at the town in pure hatred.

"Must have done something really bad if they got under your skin or fur."

"Oh believe me they did," Rage said.

"We'd better keep moving cause I'd rather not be standing over a river of boiling blood." Bones said before we went on our way. I helped lead the group across the bridge and soon we made it to the other side where we came to another a set of woods, one that just seemed to rub me the wrong way.

"Something wrong Bones?" Rarity asked.

"It's these woods...I can't stand them." he said.

"Why what's wrong?" Luna asked.

"You'll understand once we enter. But you must listen to me when I say that you need to stay on the trail and be mindful of what you touch," I said causing the group to nod before we entered.

"So Bones," I started.

"Hm?" Bones hummed acknowledging me.

"How strong would you say you are?" I asked.

"I guess that would depend on how you see me example emotionally I'm not good with expressing myself because I'm not in total sync with m emotions but physically well you saw me push open that massive door in the city why do you ask?" he asked.

"Oh, well I'd just like to know where you stand in the terms of power." I said with a shrug. "I'd like to know how strong you are at full power and what destruction you can cause."

"Well if you want to be specific I'm basically the one that deals with rouge wraiths, and by dealing with them I mean kill them a regular wraith is said to be unbeatable in a mortal world but the can't stand fire as for me I have all of a wraiths strengths and more but no weaknesses not including soul steel. As The Hand of The Reaper it is my job that no life leaves the world before it's too soon. I don't always succeed in this Elisa because there is only one of me; as for destruction I could bring down an empire just by snapping my fingers. And in a few days said empire will be reduced to nothing but ruins and a graveyard," 'Welp there goes the fight I wanted to have with him' I thought to myself.

"Oh," I said disappointingly.

"Something wrong?" he asked.

"It's just that you are so much weaker than I had hoped for and I really wanted someone to fight!"

"Don't sell me so short Elisa. Not sure if anyone told you this but never underestimate our opponent till you actually fight them." Bones said causing a memory of Ash saying the same thing to me while we were training to crawl into my mind. 'I really miss him' I thought to myself and I could feel Shi agreeing with me. I still couldn't sense Evangeline of Senbonzakura at all in the forefront of my mind, which is really starting to worry me. I haven't heard them since I had got the litch eye, 'I'll have to check in soon.' I thought with a serious expression before it softened.

"I know, it's just when I release my level zero restriction I have the power to destroy an entire planet with one of my ceros." I said as I opened my right hand and made a cero appear in my palm.

"Elisa, I need you to listen to me. What you have in our eye is not something to be used when you have little to no control over it. I can tell just by looking at you that you haven't had it for very long and that is dangerous. The power is rebellious and growing stronger with each second you leave it and that is what creates the most dangerous of beings to exist you to understand control before you release anymore levels then number five, because when you unleashed four you almost lost yourself."

"I have no idea what your going on about. These restriction levels were placed on me by my wife after the changeling invasion in my world." she said as she brought her hand to her side. "The litch eye has nothing to do with it. Hell the damn thing just makes me intimidating as I can easily overpower it's influence. Because the one thing that I can't stand and will not stand for is when someone fucks with me or the things I care about."

"If you think that's the case you are more foolish then I thought. You may not see it now but you will the eye want's you to think your winning and once you think you've silenced it, the eye will destroy you. For it loves nothing more then to crush hope and leaving despair in it's wake, and once it's done with you it will go after and destroy everything around you. Take it from someone who has seen it countless times," he said. I just looked at him, I mean I don't know but I believe that those others hadn't had the life I had. I mean it wasn't nothing traumatic like other displaced that I have read about but it was still full of despair and my hope in life was crushed long ago. You see back on Earth I dreamed of nothing but the end of my life, because there was nothing for me there. There was nothing I could do, nothing I could change. What could I have done to stop the destruction of the Earth, huh? Nothing! The politicians had already fucked the world up and wouldn't see the danger that was presented to them until it was too later. Still it doesn't matter, that was all over a thousand years ago.

"If you say so." I responded dismissively. "By the way I'm sorry for punching you back on the ship. I was totally in the wrong for it."

"It's cool I understand Shi is important to you," I said when suddenly I hear a snapping sound come from behind causing me to spin around and see Rainbow holding a branch in her hand.

"She did it," Rainbow said while pointing at Applejack which in turn earned a scowl from the mare.

"Why must you break me haven't I suffered enough?"

"Who's there?" Celestia called out to the forest.

"I am here among the bark," the voice said and when I looked to where it came from I saw that it was the tree Rainbow had snapped the branch from. At the bottom was what looked like a body made of wood, leaning against the tree. The body seemed to look like a female pony form Equestria, if the boobs were any clear indication.

"Bones this is no normal forest is it?" Rage asked.

"No this place is the Woods of Suicide where those that have done violence against themselves are left to be punished," I said.

"Punished for taking their own life?" Nightmare asked.

"Life is a precious gift given to souls and when that soul destroys it's own life Minos judges it to this circle where it sprouts and shoots up like a sapling no bod only the pain of what had killed them," I said as I place a hand on the tree. "This one was placed here two day ago after she slit her own throat."

"It is true I couldn't take being raped constantly by the caribou and so I...*sob* *sob*," the soul said but no tears fell from the now wooden eyes of the soul. "I lost so much to them I just wish I could take it back.

I saw Celestia approach the soul before she knelt down and embraced the wooden body in a hopeless attempt to bring it comfort I heard some sobbing among our group and I saw Elisa and Rage's fists were tightened to the point their fingernails would split their skin hell even I was as angry at the caribou for causing this mess.

"This is not right surly there is something we can do this mare doesn't deserve this not after what happened to her," Luna said.

"I couldn't agree more with you even if I tried in fact I distaste this place just as much as you all here do but sadly that's how this damned place works," Bones said

"Here young one." I said with a motherly tone as I walked over to the the soul and placed my hand on her bark. I forced and started to run my energy into her to override the judgement made by Minos, causing her to start to shine and dissolve into the air. "Now be free." I said as the tree was finally gone, before bringing my arm back to my side.

"Elisa you-," Celestia started.

"Sent her to Heaven. It's our fault for being here so long and not up there freeing them." I said with a sad smile as I looked at where the tree once was, before turning away and facing the the others. "Now let's hurry and get that weapon."

We walked for a few seconds before a Suddenly a massive roar rings through the trees which was so loud it forced us to halt dead in our tracks.

"Aw shit I knew this was gonna happen," I said as I tried to move my feet but couldn't.

"What's going on and why can't we move?" Celestia asked.

"Elisa freed one of the damned. Surly you all know that something like that doesn't go unnoticed by the guy who runs this place now we in for it," Bones said.

"Shit sorry! Thought he wouldn't notice." I yelled as I drew Shi from off my back.

"Forget it. Cause if I'm being honest with myself if you didn't do it I would've," He said when suddenly a massive beast came charging in through the trees and roared at us. I tried to get into a stance but my entire body froze before I could. I looked around and saw that the others were in the same predicament as I was, which only fueled my panic.

"Holy shit! Bones ideas now." I yelled.

"No idea!" he shouted back at me. The demon let out another roar before he slammed both arms onto the ground and walked over to us. I could only watch as in kneeled down and stared into the eyes of each of our group members before they fell to their knees, saying that they failed. Even more panic started to drive itself into me as they were all talking about their greatest failures.

"N-no. S-stay b-ack!" I said as fear gripped me. I watched as he finished with Celestia and came and looked into my eyes. I could only look into his eyes as his pupils grew and an image of me on the battlefield from over a thousand years showed. My grip on shi loosened to the point she dropped to the ground before the grip on me vanished and I too fell to the ground as tears streamed from my eyes. Salty water from my right and blood from the left.

In the image that was presented into my mind was when I failed to protect my sister and ultimately got her killed. I thought that world would have gone with the same timeline as the show, but it proved different when hundreds upon hundreds of hollows attack the Seireitei and caught us off guard. The reason for me being there was that I had found my sisters token and for some wired reason I was transported there instead of her coming to me. I was in the misted of catching up with her when the alarms went off and the sky opened up showing Sōsuke Aizen, Gin Ichimaru, Kaname Tōsen and the other ten arrancars; though some of the ten arrancars were anthro pony variations. We were so unprepared for the attack that most were killed in the first few minutes of it. All the captains and lieutenants grouped up and faced off against the bigger fish but ultimately we failed.

In the last moments I stopped all the hollows after watching my sister die in my arms because she protected me from an attack from one of the arrancars. I don't remember what happened after that, but what I do know is that I killed every one of the bastards, including the shinigami. That was the day that was to be marked down in my history as one of my greatest failures. My failure to protect the things closest to me.
