{Buttercup's POV}

I the bowls of the Everfree Forest, there lies a gateway. This gateway leads to the volcanic pocket dimension known as Tartarus. In this forsaken world are the demons and monsters of you're worst nightmares. But, in the center of all these monstrosities, is the once superhero girl. Me.

I sit in silence, my back lining up with a bolder, bored out of my mind.

Being stuck in a world full of monsters I've either beaten into submission, of killed. My cloths are stained red, and my soul forever as that same color.

I looked over at Cerberus, who guarded the door out of here, about one of the twenty only things in here I can't beat, he has to be number one. I don't know why, I should be stronger. I guess he's lucky then.

I drew an X, then a circle. 'I lose again...'  I think, playing my seven millionth game of tic tack toe. I cross o

I then stood up and stretched, and heard clicks all over my body. 'Wow... I need to get out more...'

As I thought that, I saw my Jail keeper see a stick, and chase it out the exit...

Silence through all of Tartarus.

Then, one of the monsters yelled, "Freedom!"

My old smile returns, and I fly up to see most of -if not all- of my cellmates run, fly, crawl, ect, out the exit.

I was just about to leave, when I almost forgot. 'Tirek.'

I flew over to the only one in here I liked, I reached the area he was located.

"What is happening child?" He asked.

"Jailbreak!" I said, my voice hoarse. I used my energy beams to shoot his chains.

He smiled, "Good... We shall have our revenge on the ponies!"

I nodded while I picked him up.

I jumped as high as I could, and flew as best I could.

Tirek raised an eyebrow, "You seem sluggish."

I scoffed, "I'm sluggish? I've never fel-" I was interrupted by coughing violently.

Tirek sighed, "It seems this place has talked its toll on you, as it has me."

I stay quiet, until we reach the gate. Nothing is in the vicinity as we make it our way out.

We exited Tartarus, and my mouth falls open.

Beautiful trees, grass, sky, and more! All that destruction that used to be here, healed faster than I thought.

'I guess scars can heal.' I deadpanned.

We looked for a place to hide, and found an old little shack, most likely abandoned.

I land not-so-graceful(On the face!), while Tirek jumped off, "We shall wait until the time is right, until then, we must split up. I'll stay here and fix this place to be our headquarters, while you train and get yourself in shape. Understood?"

I nodded, "Yes father." I turn and flew off.

Tirek "Adopted" me when he was banished to Tartarus. I didn't have magic to use my powers, and he saw that useful. I needed family, even one who didn't always care.

If it wasn't for that, I wouldn't trust him.

I then remembered my throat, and how thirsty I was. 'Celestia should have given us water!'

I then looked for some sort of lake or stream to drank out of.





It was dark, but I had found a stream after two hours of searching, and it was dirty...

I was tired, hungry, thirsty, and cold... I hold back my sobs, they don't matter.

All I wanted was Lee.

I let out an ear piercing scream that tore the trees out of the ground.

After my little tantrum, I coughed up red liquids that came out in large quantities. I got it under control, and sat down.

'Lee's dead, even if the same thing happened to him. If he is alive he'd be changed, and wouldn't be Lee anymore.'

I sighed, got back up and continued my trek through the forest, looking for shelter. 'It might have been better if I stayed in Tartarus... or if we didn't split up.'

As I thought that, I saw a pony silhouette in front of me, but before I could do anything, I fell.

As I lay there, waiting for my end to come, I heard hooves running to my side, and it said, "Oh you poor thing..."

'Well, at least I know its a she...' I thought before passing out.





{Fluttershy's POV}

I was petting Mr. Bear after he stubbed his toe, "There, there. Its alright, yo-"

There was a very loud scream, followed by trees in the forest.

'Somepony's hurt!' I thought, thinking quickly, I flew into the forest.

I didn't have to go far to see what caused the sound, and I was shocked.

I creature, standing on two legs, covered in blood. It looked at me, then collapsed.

I ran to its side, and looked over it, it had several scratches over its exposed skin, and its clothes were torn, "Oh you poor thing..."

I had to take it in! I just had to!


{Scourge's POV}

As I prepare for the invasion, I feel a great sorrow, anger, and loneliness appear.

"Scourge! Get that lazy flank over to your sleep pod, it time to hibernate!" I heard Scorpion yell over the changelings hive mind.

I sighed, "I'm going, I'm going..." As I reached the pod room, I wondered who could be more miserable than me as I got into my rest pod, and entered a dreamless state.




{Third POV}

As Buttercup slept, a being of darkness watched over her from his red room.

"Ooohhh~ This is going to be FUN!" Him smiled deviously as he rubbed his claws together.
