          When they got back to the castle, it was already a bit late, and everypony was fast asleep. However, a deep and peaceful sleep was one thing that they couldn't have, considering a killer is on the loose and could kill them in any minute.
'You guys go back to the human world for now. We don't want you guys to get killed during your sleep here.' Asriel told the gamers.
Mark was exhausted. 'Alright friends, time to tell our viewers about this issue...'
'Right, I don't think they know about this yet. We should tell them just in case because, with all the stuff we have to do now, we can't upload videos and stuff,' Stacy sighed.
'Hopefully, we see you in the morning,' Frisk said.
Joseph grinned. 'So do we, Frisk. Sleep well, don't let that murderer bite you!'


The next morning, as soon as Frisk woke up, she heard princess Celestia screaming.
'Oh no... It can't be!' She thought.
The princess was staying in Twilight's castle at the moment, considering that being back at Canterlot would get her killed easily. When Frisk found her, everything was fine, but she looked very scared and was very nervous.
'What happened, your highness?' She asked.
Celestia was trying to calm down. 'This isn't good... I just had a very bad dream!'
Then, she told Frisk everything that happened in her dream. It showed almost all of the remaining ponies at this point will get killed, even the mane seven and the princesses. She woke up when she got killed in the dream.
'But, it's only a dream, no need to worry about it,' Frisk said.
Luna came over. 'Oh no, it's a big deal if she has a bad dream. Through dreams, she can predict the future. Unlike us, she doesn't usually have dreams, but when she does, everything that happens in it becomes reality.' She explained.
'So... Long story short, we are all finished at this point, yes?'
Celestia looked down. 'Unfortunately, that's true.'
Frisk had an idea. 'Do you know who the murderer is from the dream, by any chance?'
'Actually, I do happen to know that,' Celestia replied. 'I think he was called Felix... He said that when his identity was revealed.'
That caught the girl's attention. 'Eureka!' She boomed in a loud voice, stomping the ground and pointing to the princess. 'It was him! My predictions were correct!'
'How did you know it was him?' Luna asked.
'We go back a long way, and I was thinking about what happened to him after he left me. Many things made sense, and after a lot of analyzing, I am very sure he is the killer we are looking for.' She explained. 'Now that I have you to prove his identity, I finally have strong enough evidence to confirm that he is the person behind the crime!'
Celestia was curious to the backstory of these two. 'But why would he do such a thing? Why would he kill everypony?'
'We can talk about that later. Right now, we have a villain to stop.' Frisk said.
After explaining the situation to everypony, the ponies set out first to stop Felix first. Twilight is the commander, she will try to communicate with the others, while the other princesses are for backup, in case the first batch fails.
'Alright, this is our plan everypony, so listen closely. Earth ponies are a team, unicorn ponies are a team and pegasi ponies are a team. The princesses and the gamers will stay for the next round. We'll communicate with you all when things go out of the plan. Now, get yourselves decked out, and I wish you all good luck.' Frisk explained.

Little did Frisk and the gang know, Felix was much stronger than they thought he would be. Two out of the three teams were down very quickly. It's down to Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash, and they knew they couldn't escape forever, even if they are in the air.
The two were on Cloudsdale. 'Okay, if he can get up here, he's a beast,' Rainbow said.
'Hopefully, he can't fly... It would be horrifying!' Fluttershy cried. 'Plus, I'm not really assertive...'
Rainbow immediately shook her friend. 'Suck it up, Fluttershy! Do you want to die to him!?'
As soon she said that someone came up.
'(Laughs) You think I can't fly? Too bad, I am the other chosen one.' It was Felix!
Both turned around and were shocked. They know they can't get away.
'Well... There's only one way to end this...' Rainbow thought.
'Oh, let me guess... You're going to die before me!' Felix reached out for his blades.
As they engaged in another fight, Felix was losing at first, but then acknowledged their advantage: Their wings. Thus, he damaged their wings pretty badly, so they couldn't fly. Then, it would've been much easier to kill them.
Fluttershy's wings were badly hurt. 'Dash... I can't fly!'
'(Grunts) So can't I, my wings are hurt so badly!' She cried.
As Felix aimed his guns at the duo, he had a menacing smile. 'Ha, do you realize why I am here? To erase everything and everyone she loved!' He shouted as he pulled the trigger.

At the castle, the group saw what happened on the screen that was displaying the view from the trackers that they gave.
'What!? No! Not again!' Twilight cried.
Asriel was nervous. 'Fluttershy? Dash? You okay?'
Seeing as they heard no response, they confirmed their last team has fallen. Soon enough, they were right; Their trackers are turned off.
'Oh, for heaven's sake... Everyone is gonna die!' Jessica cried.
Mark slammed the table. 'That's it, we're calling out the big guns.' He winked at the princesses.
'You can count on us, Mark.' Flurry Heart was very confident.
'Alright, second round: The royal princesses will be up next. Humans stay here for round three. Twilight, you and I are the last ones, since we are the strongest.' Frisk said. 'So, your highnesses, I wish you good luck. I hope it ends here, considering you four have the strongest levels of magic known to Equestria.'
Celestia nodded. 'We'll make sure he falls. This murderer cannot go any further.'
