The trio climbed onto the top of Celestia and Cinch’s home to scout the area before them. “The path ahead will be crawling with monsters, so well have to be quick about this before they are all on top of us.” Cinch said as Celestia gripped their hammer extra tight. Nodding, Sunset leapt off the building to the ground below followed soon by Celestia and Cinch. They then dashed toward Sunset’s motorcycle and leapt on it only to hear a horn blast in the distance.
“Shit, they must have spies around here.” Celestia said strapping her hammer to their back only to pull two pistols out from her armor as Sunset started the bike up. “Ill drive, you shoot!” Sunset said looking at the merged women before she took off down the highway, pulling her sword out. As they drove out of the block they were at, they soon heard the roaring sound of hoof steps following them. Celestia spun around spotting an army of Skeleton’s riding on what appeared to be Skeleton horses after them.
“Course it would be undead warriors...” Celestia said before pulling the trigger on one of her pistols aimed right at one of the horse’s head, blowing it clean off causing the horse to fall apart throwing its rider off onto the road. Roaring, the undead warrior stood up about to give chase only to get run over by his team. “Not very bright, are they?” Sunset said looking at what she just witnessed in the mirror. “We can use that to our advantage!” Cinch said as Celestia twirled their guns on her fingers before shooting two more skeletons off their horses only to knock one of their weapons out of their hand and into another skeleton’s head knocking its head off. It then patted its neck wondering where its head went only to be shot apart by Celestia.
“Shit, at this rate, well have them taken down before were even halfway there!” She shouted at Sunset only to watch as something flew over the remains of the skeletons. “What is that?” Cinch asked as Sunset looked into the mirror and frowned. “Infinite... Why the hell is she so hellbent on taking me down?” She said gripping her sword more. They watched as the gem on her chest glowed bright as she then fired a beam at all the undead warriors. The undead warriors that had fallen slowly started getting back up, their eye sockets now glowing blood red as their horses returned them them and began giving chase again.
Infinite gave a blood chilling laugh and pointed at the trio. “DESTROY THEM! MAKE SURE THEY NEVER REACH THE SUBWAY!” She screamed before warping out of existence. The undead army began charging after them once more, weapons raised as some of them began raising bow’s at them. "Shit..." Sunset said gritting her teeth as she watched them gaining ground catching up to them. Celestia stood on the back of the bike as she aimed her pistols at them and began unloading her loaded clips onto them, only to curse under her breath as the skeleton's now began blocking her shots with their swords and shields. Noticing, Sunset drove over to the side of the street and began slashing her sword at the light poles knocking them over.
Celestia and Cinch watched as it landed on a few of them, taking them down as the others dodged them as they begin firing arrows at the riders. Celestia tried shooting the arrows out of the air only to run out of ammo. "FUCK!" She yelled putting her pistols away and spun around as Sunset began to stand up. "Take over! Im gonna try something!" She yelled leaping into the air pulling out her crossblade. Celestia quickly grabbed the handles as she watched the teen fling the boomerang like weapon at the skeletons, tearing the front of the pack apart as the rest of the horde tramples over their remains. Grinning as the blade returned to her, she swung her sword down, her hands glowing as she slammed into the ground, sending a massive shockwave from the ground pound knocking the rest of the front the pack off their horses.
Sunset stood back up as she noticed the next wave charging at her. She grinned as her wings burst out from behind her shield and flew into the air as she begun flying at the riders, swinging her sword at them as she cut their arms and heads off. She then landed on one of the skeleton horses and kicked its rider off and mounted the horse as two more riders rode up beside her. "COME ON! I CAN TAKE YOU ALL ON!" She yelled as she swung her sword around in a circle taking out both riders. She smirked only for two more skeletons to ride ahead of her with spears and they get ready to try to impale her. Opening her wings back up, she leapt back into the air just as they attempted to attack her only to land on their spears, using her ground pound to fling them off their horses.
Grinning, she watched them sail into the air and into three more riders behind her and sighed not seeing anymore skeletons. She then spun around and grabbed the reigns, leading the dead horse to Celestia and Cinch before leaping behind them as they continued driving down the road. "Good work Sunset!" Cinch said as Sunset put her blade away smiling. They suddenly heard a massive rumbling and Sunset looked behind them only to gasp. The bones of all the skeletons were flying towards them in a storm only to fly past them and slam into the ground before them causing Celestia to screech to a halt. They watched as they began to rebuild themselves into a massive horse with a massive skeleton lord being built on top of the horse, wielding a massive sword.
"This cant be good..." Sunset said reaching for her blade. The massive warrior spun its horse around and began galloping away from them, slamming its sword into the ground trying to split the road apart. Celestia started back up Sunset's bike and began driving after the titan. "NO WAY YOUR GOING TO LOSE US!" Sunset yelled as she stood up on the back of the bike pulling her sword out getting ready to slash at the monster. Suddenly the beast pulled away as the titan pulled its sword out of the ground and raised it skyward firing black lightning down at the trio. Celestia started swerving trying to avoid the lightning as Sunset leapt onto the front of the bike towards the horse, then using her wings, leapt over the titan and onto the front of the horse before spinning around facing it.
The skeleton looked down at her and raised its sword towards her before dropping it. Sunset quickly pulled out her shield and did a quick shield bash knocking his sword back before leaping at him, throwing her crossblade at him as it began to grind away at his right arm. She then landed on its chest and began slashing away at it. At about six slashes in, the titan regained his senses and swung back at Sunset with his right fist only for Sunset to leap out of the way, grabbing the crossblade and ripping it out of its arm, weakening it as the monster punched its chest only to have the spot where she was standing shatter along with the joint where her crossblade was snap having its arm fall off.
The beast roared and raised its left arm up opening a wormhole up and shoving its arm into it. Sunset landed on the bike only to watch the wormhole open before them as the titans hand appeared holding its massive sword before it began to swing rapidly. Celesita quickly aimed for the middle as the sword never actually hit the direct center. "Good thinking!" Cinch told her bodymate as the sword went back into the wormhole as the titan raised its sword up high. Suddenly a dark red cloud appeared above it as it then pointed its sword at the riders, firing balls of dark energy at them. Sunset leapt over the joined ex principle's and swung her sword rapidly knocking all the dark energy back at the massive skeleton, slowing it down tremendously. She then grinned and leapt back onto it, throwing her crossblade into its left arm forcing it to drop its sword in pain as she began slashing again at its chest, working her way to its spine.
As soon as she reached it however, the skeleton's massive hand grabbed her and pulled her out of its chest, throwing her back at Celestia and Cinch. The merged pair grabbed Sunset throwing her onto the bike then leapt off the bike causing Sunset to grab the handle as they leapt at the titan pulling out their massive hammer and swung it at its spine, smashing it to pieces causing the skeleton to finally fall apart in defeat as they landed on the bike behind Sunset as the continued to make their way towards the subway station.

"So, this is where Rarity is being held." Sunset said as they looked around the forgotten remains of the train station. Celestia walked forward towards the basement door of the station to kick down so Sunset could get inside only to hear the glass shatter above them. Sunset looked up to see an angel smash through, their wings blocking most of the glass as they landed before her. Sunset drew her weapon out as the angel stood up before her, revealing it to be a woman. Sunset suddenly put her hand to her head in pain as a memory began to play in her head.

“Wha... Where am I?” Sunset asked, her voice sounding faint. “Sunset Shimmer, I have brought you back to your apartment to be resurrected the the young man standing by me.” A strange pale man said pointing to a young man wearing a blue tunic and a black hood behind him.
Sunset blinked, her eyes empty as she looked at the pale man, the hooded man, and the angel that she just witnessed land before her. “Why... why would you try to bring me back to this nightmare of a world?” She asked them. The angel stepped forward, explaining, “Miss Shimmer, my name is Uriel of the hellguard. We have information that states you are supposed to be alive to face and defeat an evil that has not come yet, but you taking your life has left no one left to fight. As much as I know it hurts you, we need you alive.”
Sunset gave a small nod before looking at the hooded man. “So why are you helping them out? What do you get out of this?” She asked. Stepping forward, he grabbed Sunset’s bloody hands and looked into her eye’s. “I get my little sister back.” He said before hugging her remains. Sunset blinked clearly confused as he stepped back. “Im sorry, but Ive never met you in my life.” She said not understanding what he was going on about. “You... don’t know me? How can you not remember me?” He asked only for the man to touch his shoulder. “We don’t have much time left. We need to put her in that chamber before her body falls apart.” Nodding as he wiped away his tears, he turned back to Sunset and said, “I guess we can talk after you wake up and defeat this evil.” Nodding, she replied, “Looking forward to it.” She then laid down in the chamber and added, “Thank you for this.”

Sunset blinked at the memory she just experienced. "What was that about?" She muttered before staring at the Angel who looked at her, eyes now clouded. "Uriel... your Uriel, right?" She asked only for the angel to charge at her with her blade. "GAH!" Sunset yelled leaping out of the way as she charged past slamming into a wall. Upon seeing this, Celestia and Cinch ran over pulling out their hammer. "Go, Sunset, well hold her off while you free Rarity!" they yelled getting ready to battle the angel. Nodding, Sunset ran towards the basement door, before yelling back, "Dont kill her! I want to talk to her after this!"
