    Epsilon Sigma grunted as she shattered the last of the scarab shells with a strong axe kick before she felt Isis firing a blast at her before she began peppering the mummies with arrows that held seeds reservoirs within the shafts aiming at the joints and eyes.



She heard the soft click before thorny vines ripped through dessicated flesh and dry bone as limbs fell and heads exploded into large blooming gardenia flowers, feeling surges of shimmering, faintly glowing pollen that healed wounds and restored energy from Isis' attacks. She saw her ally glance her way as he deflected dark sorcery blasts from Revenant Isis and responded with his own. Her eyes flickered to Faust, seeing him dart towards an archway before her eyes widened slightly as a spear of redwood impaled Faust from behind and out of his chest before close to two dozen thorns as thick as her thumb erupted from his joints and muscles, including a thick one ripping out of the back of his neck and mouth. She watched him drop to his knees, his dark purple and indigo robes swiftly growing wet with red.

She spun as she saw none other than Poison Ivy… her sister… walking down the sandstone ramp as Isis shrieked, spotting a glimpse of both Batman and Robin. She recovered her arrows, sheathing them in her quiver as she overcharged her thermal blasters before unloading rapid blasts at Isis, noticing that there was a building glow in Isis' chest. However, there was next to no time to react as Isis exploded violently. Her eyes widened slightly as she felt arms and breasts pressed against her back as Ivy hugged her from behind even as a giant bloom engulfed them. 

"The Green cleared my mind… hopefully for good," she heard Ivy whisper, "though how did I forget about you, my little Amber Flower?" she finished. 

"Pamela?" Katrina said softly, turning in her sister's arms as she felt the heat of the sustained explosion on her back as she hugged her back, hearing soft whispers within the flower, almost like drawling voices. She noticed the strain on her sister's face before she closed her eyes before reopening them,her dark amethyst irises glowing a brilliant iridescent emerald, the edges bleeding to a silvery white. The faint tendrils of dull bronze and golden flame gleaming around the edges of the blossom petals, which were as thick as plywood yet soft as silk, finally faded after what seemed like an eternity. As she felt her consciousness fading, she heard the drawling voices loud and clear. 

"You will be Our Emissaries to a world we have felt, but lack a clear connection to. Perhaps with time, you may prove worthy to join Us, Child of Stars."

   Delsin Rowe growled as he stalked through a clearing within the forest, blinking as he noticed a large blossom easily seven feet tall and almost three feet in diameter. What caught his attention immediately was that it looked scorched, almost like a brussel sprout left in an oven too long. 

His brown eyes narrowed slightly under the moonlight, circling around the edges of the clearing, noticing that there were blue flowers he presumed were tulips, but he had a sneaking feeling that they weren't what they appeared. He noticed that there was roughly a six inch diameter ring around the giant blossom where the blue flowers did not grow, almost as if the flowers themselves were reluctant to touch the scorched blossom. 

"Damn it… not enough room to land close to that… without touching those flowers," he deadpanned with a glare at the flowers.

"Best you do not touch nor smell, for Poison Joke tends to make egos swiftly fell. Though from what that giant bloom arose, I do not know, for it feels part of the surroundings close," a rhyming voice said softly as a cloaked feminine form seemed to melt from the trees behind him, a basket over one forearm.





Delsin blinked, spinning. Fortunately for him, his foot fell just shy of the blue flowers, leaving them undisturbed. Smoky cinders swirled his fingers, wreathing his wrists and forearms. His gaze shifted as a large sepal fell to the ground with a heavy thud. His eyes widened slightly as he could visibly see the flowers shifting out of the way before a small cloud of mingled ashes and dust flew, soft white petals forming effective curtains that swayed in the cool breeze.

Meanwhile, Spike was watching Princess Luna staring at Twilight with a glare before she turned away and stalked out of the door into the sitting room, hoping Princess Celestia would show up to defuse the problem before he saw Twilight stiffen. He felt a powerful surge of magic almost like when he'd felt the Elements of Harmony triggered close to eight months before, purifying the Nightmare from Princess Luna. However, in a way he couldn't explain, precisely, the surge felt ancient, much like something that had just awoken and was just waking up fully.

"WHAT THE BUCK?!?" Luna's voice rang out, making them both jump. Clearly, the Princess of the Moon and Dreams had felt it as well. Spike, though, gasped as he saw a few vines crawling along the wood, white flowers blossoming as if the tree Golden Oaks Library resided within were greeting somepony. His gaze drifted to the window, his eyes widening. "Twilight... Princess Luna!!" he said sharply, his voice a startled cry as a bright golden arc of lightning struck deep within the Everfree Forest.

In that second, Delsin saw someone in heavily battered and cracked dark navy and purple armor stagger out of the curtains, the golden accents quite noticeable upon her armored suit. Her hair fell to her round bubble ass, a bright, unruly crimson burgundy with golden highlights, though around the middle of her back, it noticeably deepened to a rich reddish purple,  the tips a deep amethyst. Her eyes fluttered open, her irises flickering between a rich bluish amethyst with hints of bright emerald green and a shocking bright crimson that faded to an almost pale red nearer her glowing golden pupils. She bared her teeth before coughing several times, the sound a harsh, hacking sound as the pale blue petals of the Poison Joke were dotted with crimson lifeblood. He saw, out of the corner of his eye the cloaked woman start to take a step towards the obviously injured woman before his eyes widened slightly as vines wrapped tight around his forearms before jerking his arms behind his back as a second woman stepped from the petal curtains, her hand engulfed in a odd emerald aura.
