Treble stood wide eyed as the ball of light gracefully floated down to his level. Once it reached the invisible floor, a tall female figure stood. She wore a long sparkling white dress with long white gloves along her arms, two golden bracelets around her wrists. Her long maroon hair reached just down to her rear. Two elegant feathered wings were on her back while a horn of white light stood on her forehead. She looked down on the young man and smiled warmly before speaking in a smooth, motherly voice. "Hello again Gaurdian, it's had been a long time since I've last seen you, look at you, all grown up, no longer that little colt that fell through the portal."

Treble smiled brightly bowed to the figure. "Lady Faust."

"Rise young Gaurdian, you know better than to treat me so formally, I am your friend, as you are mine." Treble nodded and got to his feet. Lady Faust stepped closer and placed a hand on his head. "You've been causing quite a lot of trouble back in the physical world haven't you?"

Treble chuckled and rubbed the back of his neck nervously.

Faust smiled and pat his cheek. "You've done well so far young Gaurdian, you've kept your worlds Elements of Harmony safe with all you had. Well done."

Treble smiled proudly and nodded.

Faust waved her hand and a screen appeared beside the two, showing a picture of Sunset and Treble together in the snow. "And I see you've found love as well, with one of the elements no less, I'll admit, you're a very luck man Gaurdian." Before Treble could respond Faust took up another screen and smirked at the young man. "And I see you have already bred with her."

Treble blushed, folded his arms and looked disapprovingly at the Goddess.

"Oh don't give me that, it's your own fault for not using protection for...all seventeen times...how long did it take you to satisfy that girl?" Faust asked slightly impressed.

"Too long..."

Faust cleared her throat and made the screens vanish. "Anyway, I guess you already know what happened after you showed Neon Lights mercy?" Treble nodded as he placed a hard on his chest. "Normally, you'd just fall into your shared mindscape with Sunet. But right now, you are in mine." Treble stared at her confused. "You may be protecting the Elements Gaurdian, but you know that you were not chosen to protect them due to your strength, it was due to your heart." She knelt down and placed a hand oh his chest. "A pure heart is a rare thing in any world. You had one, but now it is tainted."

As she stood up Treble looked to his chest in question.

"With recent events and the effects of the sirens magic, you've developed high levels of darkness, anger, lust and selfishness. While you may not show signs of one or two of these in day to day life, they are there, and in time they will surface."

Treble now held and expression of concern.

"That is why you are here now, so you can fight these emotions and inner demons and reclaim your soul." Faust stepped to the side, revealing a white doorway. "This will take you to where your negative subconscious emotions dwell. You will have a friend along the way, don't you worry, you'll meet her when you get there. I must warn you, this is not something that is done quickly, it will take a considerable amount of time."

Treble nodded and began walking towards the doorway. He turned the doorknob and pushed the door open, revealing a purple vortex. He looked to Faust who waved and wished him luck before disappearing. Taking in a breath he walked through the doorway and the door disappeared as he closed it.

Reality, a month later

Scary sat in his web in the corner of the room in Synthesia's living room, with a newspaper stuck in a web facing his as he read through it while Frightening went about building her own web around a hole in the corner of the room to catch bugs coming through there. Sunset lay on the couch with her hand over the now noticeable bump, now being 12 weeks pregnant. Octavia walked out of the kitchen with Oceanic following behind her. Octavia sat down beside Sunset and gave her a cup of tea while Oceanic sat in an armchair next to the couch.

"How're you feeling Sunset?" Ocean asked as he took a sip of his coffee.

"Slightly better, I've just been thinking more than usual, although the cravings are starting to really kick in so that's keeping me distracted at least." Sunset chuckled before setting her tea down to cool.

"I've been meaning to ask, what are your cravings?" Octavia asked with interest.

"Not suprisingly, orange chocolate and strawberry soda." Sunset stated as she took a bite out of her chocolate orange bar.

"Why isn't that suprising?"

Sunset blushed. "They're...what Treble and I taste like..."

Octavia blinked before blushing. "O-Oh...I see...I'm sorry I asked, but wait, how can someone taste like anything?"

"You taste like English breakfast tea and rich tea biscuits." Oceanic idly said while looking on his phone after having received a message from Pinkie.

Octavia blushed harder. "Ocean honey, that's not appropriate."

"Neither is taking down crime lords, listening to what Hack says, beating every thug we see and half the stuff we talk about, yet we do it anyway." Oceanic countered with a raised brow. "What do any of us to that could even be considered appropriate?" Before he could let his love respond he felt his phone vibrate. Pulling it out he found it was from Hack. After reading the contents of the message he sighed and got to his feet. "If you ladies will excuse me, I'm needed elsewhere."

"What's wrong honey?"

Oceanic pulled his coat on and opened the front door. "Hacks got some family trouble." He stated before closing the door behind him.

Yep, no criminal or villain this time around, just the characters dealing with their personal issues.
