"You were so horribly wrong!" Isaac yelled.

All three crusaders took out their strongest guns and fired, but in vain as their shots didn't do anything. Scootaloo turned back into her natural form and went to tackle the thing.

She collided with it with enough force to free Isaac. He scrambled away to the other two as he saw the two things fight.

She tried to grab its arm but the smooth skin was prohibiting that, she tried to hit only for her tentacles to bounce off. She gave out a yell and went to grab the spiked tongue and got a grip on that. She started to pull and with an easy snap it came off.

The Tripod gave out a screech and knocked her off.

After it did so it ran away up a wall, but on the balcony next to where it climbed up was a single member of The Pack. It called out to the others and soon they were jumping down to attack the four survivors.

"Don't worry, I've got this." Slenderloo said running up to the swarm of them.

She picked two up and threw them at their fellow comrades which did nothing to slow them down. Some of them jumped and started to try and claw her but only hit air, they looked around until they saw her standing on the stairs next to them. They all went to run up and jumped again. Only to hit air again.

"Third times the charm, right?"

They all turned to see her standing again at the bottom and ran at her again. This time they all were sent through the rails.

"That wasn't so bad." She said returning to her friends.

"So you can teleport after all." Sweetiebelle said walking up to poke her repeatedly.

"Why are you poking me?"

"I'm just seeing if you're not solid. It seems you are."

After the "experiment" they all went to go up the stairs when more Necromorph's came out from the vents.

They all easily tore through them but didn't see the ones in the back until they were nearly at blades length.

"Look out!" Applebloom yelled bucking away a Slasher that was about to spear Isaac.

"Uh... Girls, I think were surrounded." Sweetiebelle said looking between the two groups of Necromorph's.

"Run." Slenderloo said.

"What?" Isaac asked while cutting off the arms of a Slasher.

"You all are going to run through that door over there. I'll hold them off." She said before wrapping her tentacles around her friends. "And it's not up for debate."

She threw them across to the door just a corner away from her.

They all landed in a heap of legs, arms and hooves.

"Scootaloo! Quick teleport over!" Sweetiebelle yelled.

She watched as her friend did teleport, but only to the small balcony in front of them.

"Go while you still can. I'll take care of them all. Every last one of them!"

Isaac grabbed Sweetiebelle and Applebloom followed them inside but, stayed close enough to keep the door open.

Slenderloo shot out her tentacles, two grabbing onto the farthest pillars in the room and she started to pull. Her tentacles bulged in areas where the muscle was struggling; the Necromorph's were closing in slowly.

"Scoot's! Stop it!" Applebloom yelled going back out.

Isaac let go of Sweetiebelle and they both ran out to go help.

By now, Slenderloo had small droplets of sweat sliding across her expressionless face. The Necromorph's were being kept back, but barely.

A loud groan was emitted from the pillars as metal started to go out of place. Her tentacles widened even further and now she was on her knees with her wings on the floor.

"Scootaloo! Come on! We can still get out of here!" Isaac yelled firing his Pulse rifle at the swarm of monsters.

An even louder groan was heard and now the pillars started to shift. Three things happened in only seconds.

The pillars broke free of their restraints and collided with the others, the other pillars started to fall while tearing chunks of the ceiling out. And Slenderloo turning back into Scootaloo after giving out a blood piercing scream before falling to the floor.

"Scootaloo!" They all yelled in panic.

Isaac scooped her up in his arms and quickly ran through the doors as the room collapsed in on itself.

After dealing with the Stalker crawling along the floor, he gently set her down.

"Scootaloo! Are you alright!?" Sweetiebelle cried running up to her friend.

"Yeah... just a bit sore." She replied back quietly opening one eye.

"You are fucked up in the head, do you know that?" Isaac scolded her. "But you're the good kind of fucked up in the head."

She smiled weakly before closing her eye. Soon a soft snoring was heard as she wrapped her fore-hooves around his arm.

"Alright, sleep tight, we'll make sure the necro's won’t bite." He said pressing a button on her suit making her helmet close.

"Is she gonna be a’right?" Applebloom asked.

"Yeah, she's just tired. But damn, she managed to take out two of those pillars. Those things were supposed to hold up against a few thousand pounds of force or even a bomb. And she did it with her tentacles within seconds."

"She is a special kind of pony, ain't she?" Applebloom smiled weakly.

"Yeah, she is, isn't she."

He turned on his heel and started to make his way to the door ahead.

The room had a large metal Marker built into the floor and candles lining the shelves.

Nearly half of the way through, Applebloom and Isaac stopped to look ahead at them at something.

"Isaac... Appleboom? Why did you both stop?" Sweetiebelle asked.

"Dammit, that's getting annoying." Isaac complained rubbing his head.

A snort was heard and Scootaloo stretched out all of limbs, boneless and bone filled.

"Hey, what did I miss?" She lazily asked scratching her back. "Aww, where’s Fluffy the forth?" She asked sadly.

"He... Didn't make it. It was a he right?" Isaac asked setting her down.

"Aw well. There's thousand's more Fluffy's here. Hey Isaac, I forgot to ask you; why are we going this way?"

"Yeah, you never told us why?" Applebloom said.

He gave an audible sigh before sitting down on one of the shelves. "I've been talking with a woman on my comm for some time now. She says she can cure me, and hopefully, you two." He pointed at Scootaloo and Applebloom.

"Alright, good enough for me. Do you think she's one of the Uni-Unitologeist ponies?" Applebloom stuttered.

"Unitologist. And I’m not sure, what makes you think that?"

"Think about it. She asking us to go into a church, go deeper into it and now meeting her in a secluded area in the church. With who knows how many armed guards."

"That's actually pretty clever. Scootaloo, think you can fight some people with your tentacles?"

She smiled and turned back into her other form and gave a nod.

"Good, we should be careful then. Come on, our hostess is waiting."

They all crowded into the elevator and soon after the doors closed a Necromorph came out from the ceiling making them all scream.

The elevator door opened and out walked a Necromorph with blood dripping off its blades.

"I wish there were stairs..." Isaac panted.

"That was horrible." Sweetiebelle said.

"I say we rest for a few seconds." Slenderloo said.

"Agreed." Isaac said walking over to the small cushioned seats.

The others followed and sat down. Sweetiebelle spread out on them, Applebloom sitting back, Isaac following suit and Slenderloo getting her ear scratched.

"What's with you and having your ears scratched?" Isaac asked.

"It feels good because ponies don't have fingers like you do. I can't scratch behind there."

"You know," Sweetiebelle started. "Why don’t you ever keep you're mane when you turn? I think the purple would go great with the white."

She tilted her head for a moment before her mane started to grow back.

"You're right, I do look better don't I?" She smiled.

All of her friends including Isaac immediately backed away.

"What?"

"Uh, Scootaloo. Do you think maybe you couldn't smile like that again?" Isaac said.

She looked into the glass and saw her reflection and saw her mouth looked like it was cracked open like an egg with small tentacles moving around in it. She shrugged and it closed back up.

"So, I guess while we wait, we can talk about our worlds. For your Twilight's sake." Isaac said straightening up in his seat.

"What do you want to know?" Sweetiebelle asked.

"You just had to say that." Slenderloo groaned.

Ponyville.

"Twilight, I don't think he wants you bugging him like this." Rainbow Dash said gesturing to the stack of papers she already written on.

"Fine, I'll ask him a few things then." She huffed.

Titan Station. Unitologist church.

A black cloud of smoke appeared and a scroll appeared, presenting itself to Isaac. He picked it up and read it over.

" No, I have never done a sonic rain boom. Yes, humans do have parties. Yes, we like apples. And... Hey! I can't help how my suit looks! No, we do not have any animals aboard. We'll, I can honestly say that our sun moves on its own using gravity as its natural propellant and stabilizer to make sure the gasses stay together. And, yes we are currently on one of Saturn's moons called, Titan." He answered.

"Is the queen there?" Applebloom called out.

A small cloud of black smoke appeared and a scroll fell in front of her.

"Yes, I am here my little pony." She read out. "If it's a'right with you, could you try and test something out for Isaac?"

"For me?" He asked interested that a god might have some interest concerning him.

"Could ya try and send one of my sister’s apple pies here?"

Ponyville.

"I can certainly try." Celestia smiled.

"I'll be right-" Applejack was saying

"I've got one!" Pinkie said producing a freshly baked pie from her mane.

"Then, let's send it." Celestia smiled before her horn started to glow.

Titan Station. Unitologist church.

They all waited for a few moments, Isaac teaching some constellations to Applebloom and Sweetiebelle sending replies to her sister.

A large cloud of smoke appeared and laid on the floor before materializing into a steaming, fresh pie with forks beside it.

"So... You got her to send us a pie?" Isaac incredulously.

"Not just any pie! An apple family pie!" Applebloom beamed. "Go on, try it!"

He looked at the pie for a second before picking up a fork and taking a small bit out. He put the piece in his mouth and chewed slowly.

He gently set it down to the side.

He looked at them with a completely expressionless face. "That's one of your families famous pies?" He asked.

"Yeah. Do you like it?" Applebloom asked him, biting her bottom lip smiling.

"I don't like it." Her expression deflated into sadness. "I love it!" He smile could have rivaled Pinkies famous, Smile song smile.

"Well, duh. Nopony can dislike the apple's pies." Sweetiebelle said matter of factually.

"I can see why. These things were great." He smiled. "It was gooey and warm with cinnamon. I wish I knew how to cook that well."

"The first time we tried to cook we nearly burned down Sugarcube Corner." Slenderloo said laughing. "Pinkie said we all still did a good job. For beginners."

"Well, I could probably eat this by myself, but..." He wavered off sliding the pie in between all of them. "I should share."

All of their faces brightened up; Slenderloo went into the other room and tore off four chunks from the wall and brought them back to the others.

They each cut out four fairly sized pieces and ate while telling jokes and the crusaders telling him some of their own stories.

After they were finished, Slenderloo wiped the tin clean with a tentacle and sucked what was left, off.

"Well, that was good while it lasted. Real good." Isaac said groaning as he got up. "Ooh, careful getting up. That stuff is sitting a bit heavy for me."

They all stood up with general ease making him slightly jealous.

"Alright, are you all ready for a possible trap?" He asked them.

"They won't be expecting two, small talkin’ ponies and one supernatural one, are they?" Applebloom stated.

He nodded and went to the door ahead of them.

As soon a she stepped in, two men grabbed him and Diane turned to him with a villainous smile etched on her face.

"Well look at that, Scootaloo was right. This was a trap." Isaac said grinning at the woman.

"And who would that be?" She asked pleasantly.

The guards were smashed against the walls and herself was wrapped in two tentacles as Slenderloo and her two friends came in.

"Yeah, that's Scootaloo, that's Applebloom and this is Sweetiebelle. And you're going to tell me why the government want's me dead."

"They want you dead because their afraid. Afraid of change. Your mind is the purest of all. We need you to make more Markers." She said.

"What? What do you mean you need to me to make more of those damn things?"

"You made the one here Isaac. And soon we will all see glorious liberation."

Before any of the others could ask her anything else, a building not too far away exploded from a gunship firing at it and then the windows were shot in. Slenderloo let go of the woman as she was filled with led and sucked out alongside the two men.

And Fluffy the fifth.

"Shit! I could use some help over here!" Isaac yelled hanging onto a rail.

Slenderloo grabbed him and her friends; she pulled them over and looked to see a panel on the floor he kept pointing at. She tore it off and jumped down.

They all hit pipes and bumped into the walls as the traveled through before busting through a vent and hitting the floor.

They all got up groggily and dazed which faded quickly.

They all looked up to see a massive Necromorph screech at them.

"I fucking hate religion!" Isaac yelled before they all ran from the Tormentor.
