	Back in the middle of the ocean, Flash and the sailor began to reach the foggiest parts of the north. As it became even more foggier the sailor stopped the boat and turned to Flash. 
"This is as far as I go." explained the sailor 
"Thank you." said Flash 
"Since you can't use your wings to fly now that Fassbender got rid of all the magic in Equestria, you might as well you use this life raft right here." 
The sailor hands over to Flash the inflatable life raft. 
"That'll have to do." said Flash 
The life raft is soon inflated and ready to go. Flash begins paddling off into the fog with it, right towards Demon Island. The scanners and radar systems inside Fassbender's headquarters pick up Flash's senses even more. 
"Marvelous!" growled Fassbender "With this new plan, Flash Sentry will be mine in no time at all." 
"He'll soon be joining every other pony in the screening room where we've prepared the brainwashing screen." laughed Snickers 
"Then you may finally have Princess Twilight all to yourself for the rest of her miserable life." sneered Luther 
"So we'd better make sure everything goes just exactly as I planned." said Fassbender "Activate exterior traps!" 
"But we thought you wanted him to get in?" thought Roxy 
"Yes," said Fassbender. "But we can't make it too easy can we." 
Out in the ocean, Flash began to notice something. The mist slowly lifted, and there stood Demon Island! Flash cautiously moved forward towards it, nearer and nearer he came. 
"Sir, I believe, he's onto us." worried Luther 
"Nonsense!" snarled Fassbender "He knows we have traps waiting for him." 
At last, Flash reached the shore. He climbed out of the raft and stepped onto the beach. He looked all around him anxiously. He then spotted a rock. Flash began to get an idea. He picked up the rock and threw it in the distance. The rock fell to the ground and sank. Flash was surprised. 
"Quicksand!" he gasped "There must be pits of them all around me." 
Flash looked around some more and started to gather all the rocks he could find. He threw each of them over to where there were pits of quicksand. This went on until Flash made it off the beach and into the jungle. 
"Onto level 2!" smiled Flash 
"Yes, level 2, indeed." said Fassbender "The sooner the better." 
Flash was soon wandering through the deep depths of the jungle, making his way to the mountain. But Flash wasn't hurrying. He was slowly moving forward. He was still being too suspicious about the area. 
"It's quiet," said Flash "Too quiet." 
Flash was anxiously looking around him some more when suddenly a huge spiderweb came out in front of him. Flash backed away in fright. Then he could see that above him were gigantic, over-sized black widows. They started crawling towards him. Flash got his sword out, ready for battle. 
"You want a piece of me!" said Flash bravely to the monstrous spiders. "How about I get a piece out of each hairy one of you, instead!" 
Flash charged for the spiders. The spiders came right at him too. Flash jumped and dodged the spiders every move as he chopped and sliced every bit of them. The spiders collapsed to the ground, all torn up. 
"That training really did come in handy." smiled Flash 
Flash looks up, and finds that more gargantuan insects are in his way. Red, spine-tingling, furry, ants and grotesque scorpions. 
"Come and get me!" said Flash, full of determination. 
Flash advanced over to the ghastly bugs and turned them all into chopped liver. He came across rivers where there were waiting leeches and crocodiles as he swung across vines without swimming through the streams. After another obstacle, Flash began to notice something else. 
"This is getting all too weird now." he thought "Fassbender has all these traps wherever I'm around. It's like he's able to sense me whichever place I am." 
Flash is still wondering how exactly this is possible when a snake came up behind him! It lunged towards Flash as Flash turned around at the same timing and chopped the snake's head off. Flash is about to go on his way again but before he does, he examines the snake a little more closely. He realizes that there's a camera lens hidden inside the snake's eyeball. 
"Fassbender must have hidden cameras all over!" gasped Flash "No wonder he can track me down wherever I go." 
"Not to mention scanners and radars." said a breathless, creepy-toned voice. 
Flash jumped and looked all around him but he could find no one. 
"I know that's you, Fassbender!" said Flash with courage. "You'd better stop this nonsense of yours before things get too ugly." 
"Me, surrender!" laughed Fassbender "Who do you think I am?! But let me tell you this, there will be a big surprise waiting for you after getting through all levels. A big, NASTY surprise!" 
Everything goes silent. Flash continues on his way but gets confused more than ever. 
"Why would he tell me that he knows how to figure out which part of the jungle I'm in?" wondered Flash "And why would he tell me that there's a surprise waiting for me at the end of the jungle? No matter, I'll just have to go see for myself." 
Flash continued forward to the mountain. He soon made it out of the jungle and reached it. He began to climb as he tried to search for a way in. Halfway up the mountain, Flash found a cave. He went inside it. The hidden cameras followed Flash's every move on the monitors. 
"It's time to go meet this Flash Sentry face-to-face." sneered Fassbender as he got out of his seat. "Disable all interior traps, let the foolish colt in!" 
Roxy turns off all traps on the control board and follows Fassbender. 
"Is the beast tamed and ready for action?" asked Roxy to Luther and Snickers.  
"Oh, we've got her under our control alright!" chuckled Snickers 
"That Flash Sentry will definitely be able to resist slaying this beauty." laughed Luther 
Flash was now in the deepest interiors of the mountain. But was getting suspicious about a different thing. He hadn't been running into any other traps along the way in. Then, he came to a dead end. He was just getting lost in confusion as lights flickered on. Flash covered his eyes by the sight of them. He opened them back up and found Fassbender and his henchmen standing on top of a ledge in front of him. 
"At last, I finally get to be reunited with the Flash Sentry after so many years." said Fassbender with an unfriendly smile. 
"And you must be the scoundrel they call Fassbender." said Flash 
"It has been a long time hasn't it." grinned Fassbender "You three, fetch me my clothes!" 
Fassbender's henchmen went inside another cave for a moment and returned shortly with a top hat and cape. Fassbender put them on.  
"This is the same way you saw me when we first met, didn't it, Sentry." said Fassbender "But that's not all. I still haven't given you the other nasty surprise that I have in mind. Roxy, release the beast!" 
Roxy pulled a lever right beside her as some cage doors opened up at the bottom of the ledge in front of Flash's hoofs. Out came Flash's other nasty surprise! 
"Julia!" Flash screamed
