"Ok," Isaac said holding Applebloom's head in place. "She hasn't stopped and we need to get off the elevator. Who's going to make sure she doesn't hit her head repeatedly?"

"I think I will," Scootaloo said taking her friend. "She's either in shock, or she's going-"

"Ah'm gonna kill those two... Ah'm gonna kill those two..." Applebloom repeated under her breath.

"I think she's actually going to kill them." Scootaloo said looking back at her friend. "Let's just go, and hope we don't see those two."

"Right," he said exiting the elevator. "So, do you think Danik's soldiers are still alive?"

"... Yeah, probably."

Frozen Nexus.

"So, how are we going to get off this thing?" Babs asked looking around the crested head. "And not wake it up?"

"Just step very carefully," Sweetiebelle said taking a step which only made more cracks. "Or, we could just run for it?"

"Run?" Babs asked. "Down the back and hope the fall won't kill us?"

"Run." Sweetiebelle said. "Now!"

They both began to run, massive cracks forming with each hoof-fall, ice and thin membrane from the Nexus came up behind them. They both let out a small shriek when they saw the dead drop below them.

"Hang on, I'm going to try a magnetism spell!" Sweetibelle yelled as they began falling.

Babs felt herself pulled towards Sweetiebelle, with a sudden yank, she slammed into the white Necronicorn. They both rolled and slid onto the Nexus's back.

Sweetiebelle, coming out from the sudden impact, sunk a pair of Slasher blades into the ice and pulled up. They both jerked to a halt, Sweetiebelle giving a grunt from having to hang onto Babs.

"Are we safe, or are we still going to splatter?" Babs asked O' so positively.

"I...I think..." Sweetiebelle looked up and saw her horn beginning to spark and crackle with white energy. "You traitor!" She yelled as energy surged across her body and onto the frozen nexus.

Lightning danced across the frozen body, ice started to crack and break, almost resembling a ripping sound.

The ice came off in chunks, plates of it fell off as the muscles began to thaw inside the creature.

They both froze as a low growl began to go through the air, soon it turned into a roar as it lifted it's head up and stared at the moon.

"What's it doing?" Babs asked. "It's just... Staring at the moon."

"I don't know... Maybe it's just disoriented." Sweetiebelle replied. "Let's just hope it doesn't figure out were here."

As it began to move it's ancient legs, it stopped and turned it's head around. They both gulped as it set all six eyes on them and parted it's jaws slightly.

"I. Hate. Magic!" Sweetiebelle yelled beginning to transform into her own Nexus.

"Why me...?" Babs whimpered as Sweetibelle wrapped herself around the pony protectively.

Elevator.

"Did you hear that!?" Scootaloo said shaking. "It sound's huge!"

"You said the same thing about Sweetiebelle on Titan." Isaac replied. "Hold up, I hear something behind this door."

He folded his helmet and pressed and ear against the elevator door.

"Check that console. The key is here somewhere."

"What's at the train depot that's so important?"

Slowly, Isaac opened the door and crawled out, Scootaloo dragging Applebloom with her. Together they peered over the railing and saw a small group of soldiers talking.

"Munitions." One said.

He was the only one not working, the other two were busy upturning anything that wasn't nailed down.

"What happens if he finds them first?" Another soldier asked looking at the man.

"Then nobody gets reborn. Now keep looking."

As they slowly crawled along, they stopped and looked towards the vent. Isaac covered both Scootaloo and Applebloom's visors with his hands as the Feeder came out.

"Up there! Shoot him!" A soldier yelled as the Feeder snapped it's head toward him.

It gave a shriek, but as it turned around it found it's head snapped to the side as Isaac gave a solid punch to it's skull. It fell over the catwalk and onto a crate smashing it.

More Feeders came out and turned their sunken eyes to Isaac, his jaw clenched as three more ran at him.

He struck out at the first, sending it over the rail. He picked the other one up by the wrists and smashed it into the other behind it.

It struggled and leaned forward multiple times to bite him, he headbutted it each time in the jaw.

Scootaloo took the one from behind but caused the other that Isaac was holding to struggle an arm free.

It tried to swipe at his face, but he quickly spun it around and they both went under the rail.

They landed in a puff of snow, Isaac got off the Feeder as it began to rise. He grabbed one of it's arms and pressed a boot to it's back, he pulled and with a snap the arm ripped off. The Feeder gave a screech as it struggled even more under his boot.

He got off and let it go before picking up the hand from it's arm. As it spun to look at him, he jabbed the severed hand through it's eyes. He put a finger to it's chest and gently pushed it back.

He stood, staring down at the corpse, breathing through his nose in ragged, angry breaths.

"S-Sir... Should we s-shoot him?"

Isaac's head straightened, and slowly, menacingly he looked to the side and behind him he saw the soldiers staring at him. He turned fully around and pulled the arm out from the Feeder's head.

"Who's first, and who's last?" He snorted.

Frozen wastes.

Sweetiebelle swung up and left a gash across the Nexus's chest that led up to it's throat. It flung it's head back in a roar before biting into her shoulder.

She gave her own roar before simutamiously biting down and charging her horn. She sent electricity coursing through her teeth. It gave another shriek, trying to pull away as she held on.

She let go after delivering a solid blade to it's left primary leg. It fell to the ground where she quickly absorbed it.

It rose up onto its middle legs and towered over her, she copied it and sent both of her primary legs into its head. It pulled back as she pulled forward, she twisted her legs around, digging them deeper into it's head.

With help from magic, and a good twist, the head came off and quickly disappeared into her own form.

It still stood, flailing it's legs for a second before it went limp.

She stared at it for a second, she tapped it on the chest.

Its remaining primary leg swung out and knocked her to the ground. She shook her head before glaring up at it, her face would have showed disbelief but she had scrunched her eyes shut when her horn began to light up again.

A bolt of white energy shot out and hit the Nexus in the chest, bit's of rock were taken up and crafted into a cube. It was put into it's chest, she didn't see it but heard something begin to rip and snap. She forced her eyes open and quickly began backing away.

The stump of it's neck was pouring blood, it ran down the sides in literal rivers of crimson. The bone splintered and rose from the stump, quickly, muscle and flesh followed by plating began to form on the bone.

It's leg grew back and the slash across it's chest healed. She barely caught a glimpse of the shining cube inside before it was covered.

It wasted no time in trying to stab her. It arched one of its primary legs back and stuck it through her chest, lifting her up slightly it leveled the other with her neck.

She lit her horn again, and disappeared in a flash. Its leg shot back to it's owner, looking around as it gave a low growl.

Ten miles above the surface of Tau Volantis.

Sweetiebelle quickly looked around, trying to find the building again. Down below the Nexus was still looking, but remained stationary. She looked down to the left, ignoring the stinging wind as it rushed past. She saw the buildings and the familiar tower on the warehouse.

'Save Babs first, kill the now magic amplified Nexus.' She thought as her maw began seeping acid, large Drag Tentacles came out from her chest, and Slasher blades, sharpened as best as she could get them appeared on her primary legs.

'This is going to hurt you, slightly more than it will me.' She thought as he target neared.

She closed her eyes, hardened the inside of her skull where she had decided to keep Babs, strung Babs up against the side of her skull and braced for impact.

Seconds before impact.

The Nexus paused in its search, it looked up and the last thing it saw was Sweetiebelle's underbelly.

Armory. During the impact.

"Holy shit!" Isaac yelled as the ground suddenly shook. "Is this place collapsing!?"

"No!" Scootaloo yelled steadying them all. "I think something just fell... Or maybe hit something! We'd be dead if the building was collapsing!"

"What the hell that fell could have caused that?" He asked as they stopped shaking.

"Maybe something up in the atmosphere decided to come down for a visit?" She suggested.

"Yeah, maybe it was just some junk from the graveyard up there."

Frozen Wastes. After the impact.

Dust and rock were still hanging in the air, the sun and sky had been blotted out shrouding the ground in darkness.

In a crater four miles wide and four deep, lay two giants. One stirring, coming out from shock as it raised it's head to peer around.

Sweetiebelle was disoriented, she got up slowly and carefully. Looking around, she saw nothing, she lit her horn and showed rock and dust falling in front of her. With a gentle push, it dispersed to let her look around.

Ice and dirt surrounded her, she looked down and saw the still form of the Nexus.

She immediately got off and began to climb the slope, she reached up with her primary legs and pulled. With a low growl she hauled herself back up and stopped as she got all of her body onto the leveled land.

She was about to rest when she heard another growl, looking over the edge she saw the nexus begin to twitch and move. White sparks erupted from it's chest and covered it's body. One of them struck her and pulled a spike from herself before pulling it into its own body.

'Now to save Babs before it get's up.' She thought as she saw it's throat drip slightly with acidic steam coming out from melted holes. 'I feel so betrayed... Why horn? Why?'
