Chapter Notes: OKAY!!! After having my computer fried for a week due to AT&T at our Virginia vacation, (Fuck you, AT&T) I said screw it, I've left you guys alone for far too long! NEXT CHAPTER, GET TO READING!!!

Silence. That's all I heard for a while--- Silence. Absolutely nothing at all. Then I heard a crackling sound. I slowly opened my eyes and looked around. We were all sprawled across the floor. I was the only one conscious at the time, so I stood up and walked over to each person, waking them up. Once they woke up, I started to speak. "Okay everyone, we are in unknown territory. We are likely to fight so many Dimenians and Delsabers it isn't silly. Let's get our bearings, and advance." No one said a word, but they nodded in agreement. It was everyone there; Applejack, Twilight, Fluttershy, Rainbow, and Rarity. No Pinkie Pie. I pondered that for a second, but shoved it off as a mystery. Rounding everyone up, we headed to the door on the far side of the room. The walls around us were orange, and seemed to be alive. We approached, and walked through the door.

Location: UNKNOWN

The room we entered wasn't a room at all, it was a large circular platform, about 50 feet in diameter. It was floating in the center of a room that was about 110 feet in diameter, leaving about 30 feet between the sides and the central area. There was a bridge connecting the door to the platform, in which we all walked across and safely set foot onto it. After we all walked to the center, we looked around. It was a mechanical room, a blue and white mix, with a pit at the bottom. We couldn't see all the way down, but we did take notice that the entire area other than the rims were see-through.

"Elevator!" I exclaimed, and we heard a roar. An almost ear piercing roar cracked through the room, and the elevator began moving faster, capping at 40mph. A series of cyan guardrails ejected off of the elevator. At the edge of our platform, a large creature appeared. It was a large red scorpion looking creature, with a black back and pincer. It slowed so that we passed it, and then it braced itself. "Run to the edges!" Twilight shouted, and everyone went the the guardrails. It slammed itself down on the center of the elevator and turned to face me. I heard it shout, without moving a mouth:

"NOW, YOU HAVE THE PURITY REQUIRED TO DEFEAT ME. LET US SEE IF YOU CAN USE THAT." Then it laughed an ear piercing laugh, and swung down it's pincer, me swiftly jumping to the right to dodge it, almost falling off. With that the battle had started. "Olga. You're going down!"
