Dreams are strange to many of the ones who have them. Some don't understand them. Some may even bring ideas to the forefront. Some dreams can even show if you have a problem. Most never really know what's going on anymore. All that look through the eyes of a dreamer see how it is. Majesty a dreamer in her own right. Sadly will some will never understand it really.

Deep within her castle she dreams, but she dreams more of revenge. She sits on her throne, speaking to herself. Her guards floating armor in the shape of ponies. They just stand there like unliving moving creatures. They have no souls maybe they do. Maybe they no longer do. The magic does much to this land. It's starting to become clear that she is the reason. She spoke calmly closing her eyes

" Why do they love her more then me? They should be loving me!! MEE!! I'm the master of this island. I should be loved more than her. I deserve their love!!!" Her horn glows shooting magic all over the place. An aura of magic formed around her blade. In a great anger she cut through many tables and in a fit of rage she even cut through a painting of her and a pony. Under the painting was the words my lover. In the anger she broke the sword tossing it right at the cloud creature known as Reaver. The sword went right through him doing no harm. She turned to him tears streaming down her beauty.

" Reaver..I wish to be loved." Reaver the cloud creature clicks his fingers.

" Take her to her chambers to let her rest." The guards lift her up as the Queen herself letting out pathetic little sobs yelling out screaming even that she deserves to be loved. Reaver sighs

" Reaver you seem to be failing at doing your job." A strange creature in the darkness speaks. Glowing eyes hover in the dark shadows. " You have failed at training her. She only wishes to be loved. She needs to be ready for the master to come back. The seals set by those princess are being broken one by one. All those heros thinking their saving the world. But in the end dooming it. Now tell me will she be ready to weaken the seal keeping the master at bay." Reaver doesn't turn around he seems to have eyes full of fear.

"The master will be free.. But I need more time." The eyes of the one in the darkness glow brightly. Pain fills Reaver and he tries not to scream. He holds his cloud like chest, groaning as the pain travels through his body. " Master please...I promise you....He will be free." The glow from the creatures eyes dims releasing Reaver from the magic.

" Good. See that The Queen is ready. If you fail me again Reaver." A egg like bomb floated from the shadows in front of the vision of Reaver. “You will learn what a Balefire bomb is like. If you fail me now get her ready!!” The eyes vanished and Reaver sighed.

For all dreams are real. Some have dreams to be loved and to be the best of all the world. Some have dreams to rule. But mostly about everyone has the same dream. To save the ones they love.

Unknown

The Forbidden lands. A land like Equestria trapped in a shield to keep the creatures created by the balefire bomb out. Around the area is many camps old Equestrian and zebra weaponry scattered all over the ground. Most of what is left is ghouls roaming around.

I opened my eyes feeling how weak my body is. Even though It was very weak I could still move. Shifting on a makeshift bed. Using my magic to remove the blanket that was used to cover me. I took a closer look at it. It was a skin of a dead bear. Slowly I shifted off the bed during this though. I felt my muscles tense up in pain for a second I couldn’t even move. All I could do was groan in pain. Gently getting off the bed stretching my legs hearing voices I followed them groaning with each step.

"I am very sorry for allowing my soldiers to shoot at you ladies. I am sure you can’t blame us for it after all creatures that Majesty sent after us over the years. Most of those who find their way to the bunker just crashed and die.. Like that poor Griffin that brought you here.” I could hear voices. One of them sounded like Blaze’s smokey voice but it sounded so weak.

" We have been stuck in here for almost two weeks because of you. Your lucky we didn't kill you when you found us barely alive from the dark magic that resides in these lands." I chuckled to myself as I hear Blaze shout at someone.

Walking out I found ghouls of Zebras and ponies. Those of the past who fought. One of the ponies was Bulk Biceps and the other was The Commander. I didn't get his name. Jonon stayed silent. My hooves slowly clicked on the stones and Blaze eyes go wide rushing to me.

" Star Shooter!!" She wrapped around me kissing me deeply and I groaned in pain but didn't care. She broke it gently. I smiled weakly.

" Two weeks huh?" I lifted my head up to look to Bulk. I nodded to him bowing my head. " Hello Bulk. I'm sorry that you never saw the end of the war." Bulk’s features turn to a sad frown nodding.

" I have heard about Equestria’s end. About the Balefire Bombs and the Mega Spells. Sadly, I have never seen what happened to it.Nor will I be able to see what remains since I can not return. The radiation here is mixed with the magic of this land. So if I leave this island, I am doomed to turn to dust. Along with the rest of us here. The bomb that the Zebras detonated didn't go off like it should have. When it went off, it mixed with the magic here on this island. It caused a chain reaction that caused the raw magic to gain a strange healing feature within it. Of course it doesn't just only do this. It makes those that absorb the magic into ghouls. It's also the reason why Majesty wanted us to use it in this spot."

He looked outside the cave and sighed.

" When we came here to battle, we had placed the Stopwatch in one of the creatures of this land. Mix, I am sure you called him. We used Project Stopwatch to infuse Equestrian magic within this land. We had the poor creature turn it. He used to be a dumb brainless creature. But the magic along with the Stopwatch gave him and his friends the ability to think like us. When it happen we saw what would happen to us. All of us did. After the spell was used from the stopwatch. We saw what would happen to us here. So we escaped trying to find a place to hide. We ran to these caves and the bomb went off. Project stopwatch infused with the balefire created Mix. A warrior of Majesty."

I sighed nodding.

" I am sorry but we can't continue with story time. We need to go to the main Equestrian bunker." Bulk’s eyes go wide and stare at me.

" You wish to go into that hell hole? Just getting there is a challenge." Blaze looked pretty worried. I was still pretty worried. But I had to go in there. There is more to that bunker then I have been told. Closing my eyes I fell to my knees in pain. Blaze rushed to me, wrapping her tail around me gently.

" She is still badly hurt. Do you have anymore potions?" Bulk shook his head. Looking into the cave.

"The only way I can think of healing your friend is raw magic. We have to allow her to absorb the raw magic within this cave. Thankfully of course she won’t turn into a ghoul. Just...she will always want more. Sadly there is no cure. If there was, it wouldn't be pretty." Blaze had a worried look on her face tears dripping from her eyes. Slowly standing I looked towards the back of the cave. Jonon stepped in front of me looking down into my eyes

.

" Star shooter..." Jonon placed her hoof on my shoulder. " No matter what I am here to support you. But you need to be careful this road you go down..for something dire could happen to you." Jonon said. I gave a nod slowly walking into the back of the cave. I got deeper into the cave I could see the raw magic flowing around this area. I have no idea why I could see it. The magic turned into claws grabbing onto my horn to pull me inside. My eyes close Blaze placed her claws on my shoulder. I looked to her she calmly leaned over giving me a soft deeply kiss. I felt my will to do this grow. As she slowly pulled away, I let my magic flow into my horn. And from my horn, I directed it into my eyes.

My world exploded into color. Magic of every shape and size flowed around me in a way that felt as if it were alive. With my eyes still shut, I slowly began to draw in the magic from the air into my horn. I could feel the magic I drew in frow back into my core and spread throughout my body, healing my wounds.

But that's when I heard them. Sounds, voices...whispers. I could hear voices but I could tell none of them were from anyone inside the cave. I grew curious. So I let magic flow into my ears, and that’s when I could understand them. Hundreds of voices. All speaking as if they were one.

" Yessss... Take the magic.." I heard their whispers in my ears " Take it. You deserve all of it." Groaning, I feel my bones as well as my wounds mending. " Take more... You deserve so much child." The magic itself felt like it was alive. My wounds were fully healed along with my bones. Now I just had to turn off the font of magic. But it felt so wonderful, so addicting. It amazing but I heard a voice that broke through all the voices and whispers. A sobbing voice looking over to Blaze.

" Don't go where I can't follow Star shooter! Please!!" I stared at my crying love. How long have we known each other now. It's almost been a month. She has done so much for me. I have even hurt her for not allowing her to take care of me. Maybe it's time now. Turning off the font, I started shaking. My bone may have been healed, but that doesn’t mean they don’t still feel brittle or broken. She wrapped around me sobbing softly.

" Please Star Shooter don't change.." I felt the whispers in my head more and more now. " Please I need you.." The magic filed my mind with wonder.. I could be Queen. I could rule all of Equestria. I could be the Light bringer. I could kill her even. The magic it whispered. This raw magic..The lifeblood of our world. It's been tainted on this island. The magic of our world. Pulls the strings of those that want power..

" I am fine Blaze." I struggled to pull my horn away from the magic. The magic felt like it had claws keeping my horn from moving away. Blaze slowly pulled me away from the magic. Her wet eyes staring into my mine.

" Please Star Shooter." She started to sob hard on my chest. Was I only thinking of myself when I hurt her father and her people? Was I only thinking of what I have been wanting then what Blaze wants?

" Blaze.. I am not going anywhere. You can't go my love. Not without me by your side. We will always walk the same path" She nodded calmly. I walked through the very cave. I felt powerful strong that I could anything. I stopped in my tracks closing my eyes.I felt the magic filling my very core. I wanted more but there is a time and a place for it. Opening my eyes, I walked back to the main room of the cave.

"Give us the directions to the bunker. Then I am going to need you to join us in the coming battle.” Bulk looks to his troops then to the Zebra ghouls.

"Lets go." The Zebras along with the ponies nod. Walking out of the cave. Bulk looked back at me. " The Bunker is easy to find. Very easy to find. Walk out of this cave and go north. It's in the side of the mountain." He walked to the entrance of the cave then turned back to me.

" Child, if you really are the Hero of the Legends, you better be ready for what is going to happen when the war starts." I nodded. Looking outside after them noticing that their taking the guns and what shot us, out of the sky. Looking back to Jonon and Blaze. Blaze had bloodshot eyes she was crying the entire time I was talking to them. I sighed looking at her with a gentle smile. Nuzzling into her neck whispering gently.

" I am always with you." Blaze smiled softly nodding wiping her eyes with the tail. Looking to Jonon, Her emotionless eyes just had a smile across her lips. Nodding it was time to go. Looking outside of the cave and then looking north. I could see the bunker. But I even saw magic eaters mixed with the radiation of this land. Some looked nasty and so evil. Some even looked bloated. But that's not what scared me the most. Robots. Magic powered robots the magic is to raw for the robots. Causing their open gaping parts to spark and shoot wild magic all over the place. Looking back, I saw the others as they put cloaks over themselves. Placing a mask we started to walk through the land. It seemed to be healing but with that it also had nasty magic that didn't seem to work correctly.

The Bunker

I hate the wasteland. I so hate the wasteland. I am starting to understand why so many tried to run away from it as fast as they could. Blaze was beside me breathing her fire on the magic eaters that held many of the guns that fired on us. It seems these creatures are very very smart. Using my new found magic I ripped apart their wings shattering their bodies. Magic may be what they eat. But it also makes their bodies extremely brittle. Jonon used her staff and Zebra type attacks to smash many of them. They fly off rushing away as fast as their wings could carry them.

We calmly started on our way again. Not far from the bunker. This place was small for some reason. But it would be hard for us to get inside. Many turrets turned around to face us. They seemed to target us for a moment. But they powered down soon after. A voice spoke over the com when we got closer.

" Come in.." The three of us looked at each other. Slowly walking into the bunker. The door closing behind us. When we walked in, the lights turned on. Most of them flickered. But the sound of magic going through the building was bothersome. Inside, the building was very silent. But when we got into the first part of the bunker it seemed to be a reception area. Inside the very halls of the bunker ghost walked the halls. They turned to look at us.

The life stream of magic seems to be keeping them alive. But they kept walking on. Magic did so much to this land. I had to find the Zebra spirit. He would be in with the prisons. Walking through the halls I could see more of the magic eaters were here. But these ones were lost and seemed to have no idea what is going on. One of them even looked at me. I noticed that something or someone removed his eyes.I felt I should rescue them by killing them all. But I can't I need to do what I need to do to take care of this place. A voice came over the com again.

"Come come come." Another door opens up. Leading down stairs. Looking to Blaze and Jonon, they both nodded to me. Walking down the stairs. Seeing more bones of the dead something bad happen down here. The smell started to get pretty bad as well. When we finally got fully inside this arena like room. The doors closed. A voice spoke with a laugh.

" Ah we got a couple of live ones." Looking up into the stands. There are many dead staying alive for their final moment with the magic of this island. But in the stands is not a creature that is dead. It’s a Zebra, The Zebra I must fight. But it seemed he wanted to enjoy himself but he stared at me and laughed.

" Well well..It's the hero... The hero that is going to save this island. OH I should bow to you. But I won't Oh and you will be fighting all these creatures alone." He tapped his hoof. Blaze and Jonon are lifted up by some strange magic hands and sat on the chairs. Looking at my pip buck for the first time like I should have. It's slowly clicking but it's not as bad at the moment of course.

" Now the first creature that the good doctors created. Well the first victim of Project Stopwatch." The first gate opens with a electrolytic whine. Inside is a pony with half his face is old and half his face young. The stallion walks slowly limping on the old side of his body.

Lifting my sword out with the magic. The stallion stood in the middle along with me. I stared at him I could tell that his body turned to dust and then reformed. His heart throb quickly he looked up to the one that calls the battle. Then looked back at me quickly.

" FIGHT!!" The ghost cheered. The stallion charged at me quickly in a quick flash and smashed into me making time stop a moment in my heart. Making me gasp and fly back after time turned back to normal. He just stood there the watch that is not connected to him anymore giving him more and more power. Standing up on my hooves coughing. He charged again stopping time again quickly making me fly into the wall with apple buck kick. I coughed deeply spitting up blood. I had to find a way to beat him. Looking down at my Pip buck. Looking back at him. He was getting ready to power up the time power again.

Quickly getting into S.A.T.S. getting the ability to attack him once. The attack hits smashing into the stop watch that is infused into him. How many of these did they make? When I hit the stop watch. He gasped and the stopwatch went crazy causing him to rewind back to a baby then back to old. Then back to baby over and over. The power getting crazy. I had to find a way to remove him from here. if he blew up here looking towards the gate.

Dropping my sword lifting up the stallion when he was a foal tossing him into the gate using my magic to force it closed with me being powered by absorbing the magic. But when I forced the gates closed it caused me pain. But I had to keep it close. Inside the stop watch blew causing all the magic to go into me to heal my wounds. But the project caused an endless frozen time spell in that room. When I stopped using the magic I saw that it was frozen on him exploding his face frozen on a smile.

Coughing I looked up to the Zebra and he smiled.

" Good job hero good job." He claps his hooves and smirked darkly. He looked down to Blaze and pulled me into the stands. Pulling her down to the arena and chuckles. " Now time for the hero's lover to prove her worth. All heros friends must prove their worth even if their the lover.'

Blaze gave a cocky smile she started boasting.

" I can take on all of you here. I have slept with the hero made her scream beaten her to submission through sex." The crowd looked at each other with strange eyes some even looked like they were blushing.. The Zebra rolled his eyes

.

"Now for you to take on another creation of the ponies here. They got a hold of one of your species dear Blaze." The second gate opens up and coming out is a male salamander that has stone scales along his body and a mace attached to his tail. Blaze looked scared and backed up.

"Great great grandfather." The Stone Salamander looks to Blaze and then up to me and he smiled. Then back to Blaze.

"I am so proud of you my little Blaze. You have found the love you wish. You have found your place in the world. Not a step stool of my worthless son. But what the ponies did to me here child. If I don't fight you and you beat me like a warrior you are. You will finally free me from my pain." The shell finally broke on him all kind of tubes all over his body. Fluid of blood and magic flowing through him. What they did to him made Blaze angry.

" I shall free you grandfather." The Zebra lifted his hoof and yelled fight. Blaze rushed quickly attacking like no before. She did some attacks I have never seen. She wrapped her tail around his tail tossing him away her mouth opening up trying to burn him. But when his mouth opens up he shoots magic stones from his mouth some hitting her causing her stance to back off a bit. He then used his mace tail to try to hit her. But she kept jumping around shooting fire from her mouth. The fire singed deep into the stones causing some of them to flick off. But he jumped onto Blaze back trying to smash her down but she trained all her life to be ready to fight him. But she had many cuts and wounds in her body. They back off blood draining from Blaze. I finally get to see her blood. It's pure magic with flickers of fire causing the ground to catch on fire then die. The stone salamander charged.

Blazed lifted her head opening her mouth breathing deep sucking in the reaming magic shot a large stream of liquid flame all over the body of the stone salamander. The stone turn extremely hard making him frozen in place. Not even able to move. She rushed to him pulling out the tubes connected to his heart. Blood draining from the wound. She placed it into her mouth like it was a straw and drank the magic blood. Her wound healing tears streaming from her face. She pulls off the tube. The stones grumbling causing the salamander to die.

Blaze is placed back on the stands beside me she wrapped around me shaking tears streaming down her face. But she kept herself calm even while she was weeping. Gently held her in my fore hooves. I have seen her like this only when something really is bothering her. Then the hooves the zebra clap laughing.

" Good good. who is next?" He looks to Jonon and she just looks up to him. She is sent out sighing softly. The third gate opens up when the third gate opens up it's a simple creature. That seems to have no power. When the Zebra is about to start the fight Jonon already has smashed the head of the creature looking up to him.

"Don't waste my time.." She said softly removing her bloody hoof from the smashed head. " I won't play your games." The Zebra stood up looking upset but sighed and put Jonon back on the stands near us and then pulled me down there alone. He walked down the stands into the arena. Looking towards me with a dark smile.

"If you wish to fight me know my name first. I'm Koonik. One of the scribes for the Caesar" He stared at me and a strange sensation came over me. A memory hit me like a memory orb.

0000

Memory of Koonik.

The past how does the past work for most? Some really never know. The Zebras tend to never understand why the ponies did what they did to them. One known as Dr slice seemed to be working on a project a project to rescue himself. He went to far of course. Help from a scribe of the Caesar that started the war. But these two good friends. Friends try to protect friends. The only reason Dr slice wished to come to this island was to save himself from this sickness that no pony had a cure to.

" You sure?" The bandage all over stallion asked his friend.

" I am sure Slice. I am sure this is the right place to find you a cure"

These two friends working to find a cure. Working to find what is right. But something went wrong. The Scribe the Dr at odds when the friend learns what the doctor has been doing.

" You have... Been using my people and your own...To make a cure?! Slice this is madness!!" Slice looked up from the bodies the murders he's caused. Slice looked back to his friend. So much fear in the eyes of the scribe.

" I am so sorry Koonik. I had to. I need to live, I need to live!" He said with tears streaming down his bandage face. " I can't live like this anymore! I need my body to stop decaying on me."

The scribe and the doctor learning the pain. But all this comes with a price. The good Dr forced shots deep into his friend because of the pain because of the distrust.. He experimented. On his friend then the outside exploded in balefire causing all the ones that died from these murders to be walking around. But with the scribe. He was changed forever. But for the Dr.. No one knows.

The scribe faces a hero the hero of legend. But all heroes must face a fate worse than death if they wish to win the battle. The battle is not always going to be easy to do. When the lines are crossed.

0000

The arena

I finally came out of the vision

" I have never heard of you scribe." I said softly. The Zebra looked wounded and gave me a sneer

" I know you have talked to one of my descendants Zranth. I am also the next one the elder from cliff side asked you to fight. If you win I shall give you the fluid so you may learn. If I beat you though you're not the hero of legend and you will be killed. You're fake my dear."

Closing my eyes sighing maybe I am fake. Maybe I am not the hero after all. But the magic in this land says I am. The magic seems to keep whispering to me that I am the hero of legend. A hero that is trying to become more. But looking down at myself. I am no hero. I am just one that thinks I am for all the Zebras have said to me.

" Hero." The Zebra calls but I don't answer I just keep thinking. My mind wanders am I not the one that Blaze is meant to be with? Am I not the one that Jonon should have trained. My thoughts make me ignore the fact the battle has started. Just staring at my hooves. I didn't hear the Zebra coming to me. I didn't hear the fact I was about to be stepped on. Then I heard the voice of my two friends.

" STAR SHOOTER!!" Yelled Blaze.

" Wake up Little hero." Jonon shouted.

Looking up quick right before he stomped a large hoof on me. Rolling out of the way getting back on my hooves. Staring him down my eyes glowing from the magic infused into me. Pulling the sword out it's edge glowing along. With the very light shining on my sword, I lifted it up with my magic. Standing tall like a warrior of old, I felt my heart beating like the drums of war. I felt like I could take on anything. I felt strong.

" I shall beat you Zebra. I know I am the hero of legend. The merchant warned me not to get in this war." The Scribes eyes go wide hearing the Merchant. He was going to tell me something about him but before he could I got on the back of my hooves. Doing a thunderous zebra kick in his face. Making him reel back at a bit staring at me.

"You don't wish to be warned... Then you are a fool." The two of us charged each other kicks from him using my legs and sword to block. Taking it back at him in kind. Even though he has trained longer then me to fight. I was able to fight the large body this Zebra had. But I was going to fall sooner or later. He grabbed me suddenly with his hooves tossing me into a door it broke inward and into a cloud of raw magic. This magic though it was green mixing with the radiation. Looking at my Pip buck it didn't tick.

But I didn't wish to use it. But before I could move he charged at me in here forcing me hard into the wall my body cracked some bones breaking. He backed up and then smashed one of my hooves. Another broken bone gasping in pain. My focus vanished my sword falling to the ground. He threw me back out my body bouncing on the ground. The magic slowly drifting out of the broken gated room. It mixed with the other magic but not changing it yet. But I couldn't get back up and he stomped on my back it cracking loudly I yelled in pain.

He then tossed me into the wall and I groaned feeling more of my body wounded. He looked at me and then to the crowd.

" She is not the hero. She is the faults hero that pretends to be part of the legend. Jonon you have trained the faults one." I looked at my friends Jonon now had an unsure look on her face. Blaze looked down like I have failed her. I can't do that.. I can't let that happen. My horn started to glow and the crowd watched me along with the Zebra backing up. His eyes going wide. The magic drifting in my horn.

" No.... NO...No pony can take in that raw magic. NO pony can." My bones started to heal, my wounds started to seal. The blood dried on my fur. My sight glowed with me. " Pony don't do that any longer.. You don't know what it will....do" I stared at him my body healed but my eyes glowing. I build in the entire magic and it shot into the air I screamed loudly. All could see it outside again. The beam of light this time. The Queen knew and acted like she should before. Back at the fight my horn stopped glowing staring at him.

" I am the hero of Legend Zebra. if I wasn't the spirits wouldn't have talked to me when I drank the elders brew." The Scribes eyes go wide. I pull my sword from the gated room placing it in the ground. I charged him like a zebra would. He and I fought like Zebras a pony fighting like a Zebra. Our blows hit with force but none of us stopped. Block hit block hit downed stand back up block hit downed. Stand back up quickly for the both of us. The magic in me kept me fighting. When I got hurt my horn glowed taking in more. I needed it I needed it so much. I could feel the want it called to me. Star shooter...Starr Shooter drink us.

Then I did one large kick in his face, causing him to falling and then I wanted to keep him alive I smashed into his back shattering his spine and the battle was over.

I felt tired and drained. The magic was calling me to take more from it. I need it. But I can't do it I don't want to lose myself. I can stop whenever I want. But the Zebra spoke gently..

" I don't know why they sent you after me. The only Spirit is the one in cliff side I am sure they told you more. But I do know Zranth wanted to free me from this pain. But take this to the elder of Cliff side." He removed a strange jewel from his leg it was attached to many rings. Inside the gem it had an item in it. History recordings. That is why I was sent down here to get that. Looking to Blaze and Jonon nodding for them to come down here. Blaze came down and wrapped around me kissing me gently. Placing the item in her bag and whispered

" I will keep it for you my love." She gave me a gentle kiss again and the Zebra sighed.

" I am sorry my kind lied to you. There are many test but you are the hero.. One last thing I want from you.. Go deeper into the bunker. There is a bomb down here that could remove this blight. Freeing the spirits I think this is another thing they wanted you to do but didn't tell you. But if you see my friend down there. I am sure he is still alive. I am sure. Please tell him I forgive him." The Zebra calmly lied down fully and he slowly stopped breathing. Looking towards the end of what the arena is looking up seeing the sign. This is not an arena it’s a testing area.There is another elevator. I looked back to the ones that cheered for us during the fighting. Looking as I could without seeming rude. I looked closer at all the ghost. Most of them seemed to be ghost of nurses, doctors, and soldiers. I am guessing the magic mixed with the bomb caused them not to go to the afterlife..

0000

DR. Slice Office

The elevator to awhile to get going. But we had interesting odd music. Well very odd music that got very bothersome to the ears. Blaze covered her ears, growling all the while. Jonon just ignored it. I was looking around for the speakers, seeking to remove an annoyance.. Lifting my sword, I began stabbing it over and over. The speaker itself started to spark. Even so the music started to get worse. It started sounding like the devils anius in my ears. How did I know how that felt or thought it? I didn’t wish to think deeper into it. Finally though the speaker sparked and the music died.Blaze grabbed me with her tail. Whispering in my ear. My face turning bright red.

" Blaze not in front of Jonon." Blaze smirked and started whispering again in my ear. I tried hard to put my hood over my face to block my blush from being seen.

" Oh Blaze you do know sooner or later, she will not blush anymore right?" Blaze smirks.

" Oh I highly doubt it. I will find new ways to get her face to turn bright red."

I kept the hood over my head blushing even deeper. The two laughing. But after awhile removed it and stared at Blaze. Who just give me a gentle smile.

" Oh Star shooter I do it to keep you on your hooves." She winks. I sighed standing up finally the elevator stopped letting us out. Looking up seeing the Sign research and lab. Slowly we walked through the hall but the Research door was welded shut. No way to get that open. Walking to the lap we saw a Mr handy. It looked powered down attached to skeleton covered in bandages. Slowly walking to the Mr Handy turning it on. The robot started to power up and it's eyes looked around staring at us.

" Oh dear..." The robot looked at the body. Then at us. " It worked then.." Looking towards me then noticed me. Thinking a moment it's robotic eyes staring then looked at a legend that was on the wall.

" It's you the hero.. Of legend.." He rushed over to me. " What’s Equestria like now?!"

" I um...200 years ago everything died in balefire. Ten years ago a light bringer brought back the sun for us. Than ten years later a group started up a megaspell that cleansed Equestria." The robot looked at me again and then back to the lab. Then back to me again.

" I'm Dr Slice... I couldn't find a cure for my sickness so to save myself and my brain. I placed everything in this robot." I gave a nod then the building started to shake from explosions. The monitor came on showing that the queen’s army was trying to break in " Oh dear.. it's the Queen! She is looking for you. There is a back way out.. But we need some pony to stay here to keep the self destruct from being shut down.

" Give me the code I will meet you back at Cliff side" Jonon and Blaze looked at me with worried eyes and Dr Slice sighed. " Remember she is after me. I feel it's wise to try to. Is there a back way out of here?" Dr Slice nods flying over to a console clicking a few buttons and a door slides open.

" This leads all the way out of here to the coast. If we stay to the road we can get back to cliff side." I nodded Dr slice attaching a cord to my pip buck and the code came up. They started to run down the hall but Blaze wrapped her tail around me kissing me deeply. I smile gently breaking the kiss.

" I will be back I promise." Blaze nodded, rushing out after the others. The door closed behind them. I went to the terminal and clicked in the code. A bunch of information came up then a countdown. Alarms began to ring. I rushed to the back way out but when I clicked the button it didn't open up. It said all power taken to use in the bomb. I sighed looking to the elevator. I would have to go back up. Going into the elevator it slowly went back up. The alarm getting louder but I had my cloak that kept me hidden. Placing it on when the elevator opened I could see the queen's army fighting the ghost. The ghost started to scream loud enough to be ear piercing. I didn’t know what to think during this time it hurt so much.

" Your Queen is the reason for our torment!!" So the Queen was the reason for them being stuck in limbo. Slowly sneaking I saw Mix attacking the other ghost even feasting on them. I even saw Cricket who used his swords to slice them up. But I saw a third creature. Staring at it. A large mouse covered in heavy armor. Looked at the side it said Mouse written in red paint. Beware of Project mouse.. But he turned to look right at me. Sniffing. Then spoke in a deep voice.

" She is here." His sides opened up. Guns popped out they held that strange green substance. Cricket laughed.

" Ooooo time to finally get her." Mix laughed as well. I had to go quickly I tried to run back outside.

"But I say we capture her and have our fun with her first then take her to the Queen." They All laugh. Mouse rushing to find me he was right behind me with the other two. I had to keep going. Finally, I got back into the arena and as I began rushing past the fighting army, my hood came off. Mix hit me from behind with a beam, causing me to fall and I saw the other two rushing towards me. Cricket swinging at me with all his swords. I got my sword out quickly blocking him and then rushing up but getting hit by mouse flying near the way out groaning deeply. Slowly rushing to my hooves and mix flew in front of me blocking my way out the other two surrounding me.

" Look I know you want to kill me and all but this place is about to blow up so...How about we fight later hmm?" The three looked at each other placing my hood back over my head vanishing from their sight rushing outside the door and then boom. I tried to run the explosion caused me to fly. The flash of the explosion engulfed the entire forbidden lands. Causing the shield to crack and shatter making the shock wave fly all over but it was lesser then it was at the start. Blaze looked up along with Jonon and Dr Slice from the road Blaze had tears in her eyes But they had to keep moving get back to. The rest of the island heard and saw the explosion.

Outside after the explosion

Opening my eyes I was alive how was I alive.. But I didn't know what was going on. I slowly started to crawl. But before I could get any farther. Mix held me down. Mouse stared down at me and Cricket chuckled.

" The poor hero is hurt..So my friends.. Let’s take her to our outpost and we shall have our fun." Mouse lifted me up they carried me. I had no idea what was going to happen to me. But I am sure I was going to find out.
