This story is a sequel to Daring Do: The Night Before

Contains spoilers from Season 9 Episode 21!

After years and years of being archenemies with little interest in reconciliation, all it took was one little adventure for Daring Do and Dr. Caballeron to bury the hatchet and become friends, resulting in them writing a collaboration novel under their aliases. But after a few months of traveling around Equestria to promote the book together, something happens when the pair are in Fillydelphia during a Daring Do convention.

After a tragic accident had taken the life of Button Mash, Ponyville's renowned video game expert, the ponies who held him dear to their hearts just simply fell apart. Rumble couldn't cope with the loss and decided to isolate himself and push everypony else away, Sweetie Belle was devastated and decided that she should just
focus on her studies, making her take a forlorn hiatus from the Cutie Mark Crusaders.

But what about Cream Heart? It's a bit of a troubling tale as she thinks that an apparition of her son is still around, and only she can see him. Why her? And why these apparitions? Why can't she just move on?

I wrote this based off of "Button Mash isn't Dead". I wanted to play around with the concept way back when I first read it. Because of that, I tried writing my own version of it. Hope y'all enjoyed!

Changenotes: Story has been re-written to point itself to another direction.

This story is a sequel to No Nose Knows

It is recommended you read No Nose Knows first but it's not absolutely required.

Baked Bean was just a regular citizen of Equestria until one fateful day when he accidentally booped Princess Celestia's nose with his own and then found he was forced to marry her to fulfil the terms of an ancient law. Miraculously, Love has blossomed between the princess and the pauper, and the new Prince of Equestria is now looking forward to taking his place at the side of the Princess of the Sun.

But Baked Bean is still very much a novice in the realms of government and nobility, and he's in for quite the crash course between old foes, snobby ministers, and his own shortcomings...

But at least Luna tolerates him now.

Button Mash receives a letter from Ponyville's city council demanding he immediately stop his attempt at creating a new, fun holiday. His mother will do her best to comfort her young, heartbroken son.

Sweetie Belle found out something terrible. . . Button Mash died. . .

When a mysterious cult of ponies kidnaps Button Mash and takes him to a mysterious island to be sacrificed, the Mane Six, along with four stowaways, set out to save him and find out why he of all ponies was targeted. However, the reasons behind this may bigger, stranger, and more malicious than anything the ponies could ever imagine. The Dark Entity is asserting its dominance over their world once again.
(The title is clearly a reference to "Hades Persistence," the title of an episode to Beyblade Metal Fury.)

Since the downfall of Handsome Jack, the six vault hunters responsible for his downfall have had many adventures over the months since. They've reaped the rewards from the Lost Treasure of the Sands, conquered the Campaign of Carnage and became the number one badasses on Pandora, hunted big game alongside Sir Hammerlock and ventured into the fantasy world that Tiny Tina had created in Bunkers and Badasses. Though, since then, out of all the adventures that they've been through... Nothing would even stack up to the situation they get themselves in this time.

When the six vault hunters receive an echo message about a stranger in Sanctuary that knows the whereabouts of a Vault, they hear him out and decide to take on the task of finding it and opening it. However... none of them actually know the full extent of what hey were getting themselves into... or the chaos that would result from it. Because there were several details that this... stranger... forgot to mention to them.

One detail being that the vault... is on another planet far different from Pandora. VERY different.

Hey there everyone and everypony, This a story that me and FrostTheWolf are writing together. Borderlands 2 crossover with MLP:FIM, Read to find out how our Vault Hunters tackle the world of Equestria.
