//------------------------------// // Chapter 5 // Story: Sunset Shimmer: Savior of the Future // by knigsonic //------------------------------// The demon ran into its master's chambers and pushed the door down as it breathed heavily. it looked up as it spotted its master standing over their former master, she having her ass up as her love was pushing something into her. "WHAT DO YOU WANT?" Their master said as she pushed her love away as a faint purple glow appeared on her crotch having whatever she had there disappeared. She opened her mechanical wings out and floated over her love and in front of the demon and grabbed it by the throat and held it in the air as her other hand gained a purple glow as a blade formed almost pixel like and she held it near it. "You better have a DAMN good reason for bursting into my chambers." She snapped at it the purple glasses like aura around her eyes burning even harder than before. The Demon gulped and began speaking in its demon tongue. The young woman growled turned into a slightly interested expression and dropped the demon to the ground and stepped toward the balcony. "So... a young girl thinks she has the power to stop me... Because she was predestined to 100 years ago huh?" she turned back towards her love and laughed manically. "WELL LET HER TRY! Many have stood before The Calamity, and none have succeeded." she roared as pure yellow eyes with their orange glow burned with joy. She turned to her fuck toy and grinned. "Lilth, inform the guards of the four prisons, and CAPTURE Rainbow Dash. I DONT CARE HOW, BUT DO IT! I want to rip away any and all hope this Sunset Shimmer thinks she has to stop me." Lilth nodded and stood up. "As you wish Calamity Sparkle my love." She turned and walked past the demon, it picking up the scent of wet pussy from it. "And as for you..." It heard Calamity Sparkle say and turned towards her only to gulp at her approaching, her blade reforming into a ball and chain. "You brought me bad news... and I HATE bad news!" ===================================================== Sunset lept to the ground as her gun landed a few feet in front of her, snapping into pieces at the impact. "Fuck... oh well... not like I wanted that anyways." She said before looking at the church. "So this is where they took Applejack..." She muttered and frowned. closing her eyes, she felt some of Applejacks magic lingering around the air. Somehow, it caused her new mind sight power to kick in as she remembered back to when Applejack pushed her away. Sunset knocked on Applejack's door and sighed turning around. She had been standing outside for over a minute now. The girls were supposed to meet at Applejack's that night for a slumber party. From the sounds of things, the party had already started without her, and she was hoping the only reason they hadnt answered the door was cause they just were partying hard. She finally pulled her phone and texted them to let them know she was there. After a few seconds she finally heard something she never wanted to hear. Applejack said "Oh for pete's sake shes still out there?" Sunse's eyes started to tear up and turned and ran back to her bike and started to drive away. As she did she heard Applejack scream "THATS RIGHT, GET OUT OF HERE YA TRAITOR!" Sunset looked back up at the church and clenched her hands. "Part of me really wants to let them rot, but still... I cant leave them in this state." she muttered before kicking down the door. She stepped inside and noticed all the dead rotting bodies just lying around. "Guess these are from before Sparkle invited Hell up here..." she said stepping up to a massive hole in the ground. "Huh... wonder what caused this to appear." She suddenly heard something moving behind her. She turned around slowly and sighed not surprised anymore. The corpses begun to stand up and move towards her. "Lets just get this over with." She muttered before drawing her blade. The first zombie got close to her and she swung her blade, cutting its head clean off. she turned to the other ones and spun her sword around and sighed. "Come on, at least be a challenge." she said until she suddenly heard a thumping sound below her. She looked down to see the head of the zombie she just cut down hoping towards her. "Oh shit..." she said before kicking it into another zombie. She watched in fear as they kept walking closer to her. "Great... how do you kill that which is already dead?" she asked out loud backing up only to feel she was now next to the hole. she twirled her sword and stood her ground as they moved ever so closer towards her. "WELL? COME ON THEN!" She screamed at them. They snarled and decided to leap at her. at the very last second Sunset leaped out of the way and watched as part of them fell down the hole, the sounds of their bodies hitting the ground making agonizing crunching sounds. She winced before looking to see the remaining ones glared at her and moved towards her. She gulped and tightened her grip on her sword before charging at them, sword out and shield set to defend as she ran them over before pushing them into the hole. She panted heavily before her ears pricked at the sound of a voice. "So... Its finally that time... Hey Sunset... Long time no see huh?." Sunset frowned and looked around. Despite the southern talk no longer present, she still recognized the voice. "WHERE ARE YOU APPLEJACK?" She yelled putting her weapons away. "Im sorry about us meeting again under these circumstances, but right now we need your help. Im currently trapped two levels down. Please hurry..." She said before her voice faded. Sunset nodded and looked down the hole she tossed the zombies and frowned to see them still trying to get up to her. "Shit... whats it take to kill these things?" she muttered before turning to a massive pillar. "Hmm... Maybe..." she said and walked over. She got behind it and pressed her hands against it and began to push. Unfortunately it didnt seem to move at all. "Come... ON!!!" she shouted clenching her eyes closed. Unbeknown to her, her hands began to glow orange and the pillar began to move, soon falling over and crushing the zombies underneath it. She looked down at her results and smiled only to notice her hands glowing orange. "What the?" she said before they stopped. She shrugged it off and leaped down into the pit, sliding down the pillar. she noticed a set of stairs and jogged down them till she reached what appeared to be a chamber that split into two chambers on the sides while a massive door stood at the other side of the room. She walked abit into the chamber slowly and looked at the door. "Ugh... this looks way to big for me to force my way through. Maybe theres something in those chambers?" she said looking at the other rooms." she said. She took a step towards the one on the right only for a magical barrier to appear over all the doors. Sunset then heard a voice, one unfamiliar to her. "So... your the girl my mistress wants dead?" Sunset looked up and spotted a woman, extremely demon like, with giant wings, covered in black leather and gold gauntlets and chains, hovered above the room. "Who are you?" Sunset asked drawing her weapon. The woman smirked and floated closer. "Oh Sunset... Im sure Samael had told you about his old bride... My name is Lilth, the queen of all demons..." Sunset's grip tightened on her sword and shield and got into a battle stance. "Oh, Im not here to fight you. One of my children are." she said waving her hand forward as a portal opened and a hand shot out of it covered in armor. Sunset jumped back as another hand wielding a sword twice her size slammed into the ground. soon, a man with long white hair covered in a red hood, and massive armor pulled himself out, his eyes covered in an ere glow. "War... show this girl how you feel about her trying to stop mommy's wife." She said before disappearing in fire. War swung his sword into the correct holding position and stomped forward towards Sunset. Sunset frowned and held her shield up as he swung. However, he swung to her shock, far to soon for him to hit her, instead hitting the ground, only for spikes shaped like his sword to erupt from the ground, forcing her to leap back in fear. "The HELL?" She shouted only for War to charge forward, moving much faster and swung his blade forward. She threw up her shield at the last second, forcing his sword away. She then swung her sword at his side only for it to bounce off his armor. She looked up and noticed he was about to swing down again. She leaped to the side only to slam into an old suit of armor holding a ball and chain. She noticed War stomping towards her again. 'Weird how he hasnt spoken to me once' she thought to herself before grabbing the ball and chain and swung it around before throwing it at him, unaware her hands had started to glow orange again. War suddenly was knocked into the wall and grunted in pain. He then pulled himself out and reached behind him and pulled out a giant throwing star. Sunset watched curiously and cautiously as he then threw the blade straight at her. She leapt out of the way only to watch it sail back to him. 'Its like a boomerang...' she thought as he suddenly got ready to throw it again, but had begun to charge it. Sunset took this as a moment to try and throw the ball and chain at him again. However, as she did, War threw his blade again. The weapons collided, the ball and chain getting knocked into the wall as the whirling blade skidded to the side. She turned back to War only to see rage in his eyes. She noticed fire was starting to come from his body as he suddenly slammed his fist into the ground and leapt into the air screaming in rage as his body transformed into a massive demon on fire with wings. Sunset screamed in fear as his now massive sword came down hard where she was. She leapt backwards as a massive explosion erupted from there. "Great..." she said before charging at him only for the Demon form to trying and swipe at her again. 'This isnt gonna work... if I had a way... to...' she thought before turning to his throwing star. She looked back at him as he roared in fury at her and stomped closer. Sunset took off, running towards the blade only for War to throw the floor at her. She dodged out of the way and grabbed the blade, spinning around and throwing the massive blade into his chest. War roared in pain as he reverted back to normal and collapsed onto the ground. Sunset panted and walked over to him. She could hear breathing from him and looked down at his face. She noticed the ere glow had disappeared and all that was left were the whites of his eyes. Slowly, his hand reached to hers and took it. She looked in shock at this strong warrior of a man, being gentle to her. "Forgive... me... Sunset Shimmer, Champion of the Light." he struggled to say. "She opened her mouth to speak but no words came out. "I know you have no reason to trust me after this... But Lilth... she somehow took control of me, my brothers, and sister. We are the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse..." Sunset leaned down to him and put a hand on his shoulder. "Not even we could stand against the Great Calamity. She took us down with ease thanks to her power over technology and magic. We... stood no chance." he said looking into her eyes. "But you... you have a chance. Please... free my family... we shall forever be in your debt." Sunset nodded and finally found the words to say. "I forgive you War, and I shall honor your wish." War smiled and reached up pulling out the blade in his chest. "Take this. Itll help you on your quest." he said handing it over to her before collapsing at last.
