Sunset wiped the Dweller’s blood off of her axe before holstering it. “There’s gotta be a better way of finding Rachel and Elizabeth, us running around clearly isn’t working.” She said before looking over at Serenity. They did patch her up with what they could, but everyone could tell she’s mentally not doing so well. “Fluttershy, I know this has been rough, but you have to pull it together.”
“What we’re doing is wrong. This is all wrong.” Serenity responded. “I know both worlds are in trouble but we’re committing~”
She was cut off by Rainbow Dash rushing up to her, grabbing her by the collar of her shirt and pushing her up against the wall. Causing her to yelp and the other girls and Spike getting alarmed.
“Flutters, I know you’re scared, but you have got to shut the fuck up about how wrong we’re doing being in this place! We have no fucking choice if we want to save our world and Equestria.” RD snapped at her. “Sunset said is right, pull your ass together, actually help us fight these fuckers and don’t say another goddamn word on how horrible we are, or how much you wanna leave because if we don’t do this mission, WE WON’T HAVE A HOME! Get it through your skull or so help me God, I will knock your meek, sensitive, whiney ass out cold and then one of us - mainly my hot ass girlfriend over there - will be in charge of carrying you. And with the Dwellers hunting us down, your unconscious ass will only slow us down and perhaps one of us would get seriously hurt because they are constantly protecting you. Maybe even die, and guess what, that will be on you! Got it?!”
"Whoa whoa okay, back off Dash." Sunset Shimmer went up to her.
"I will, after she says it. Fluttershy, do you understand what the hell I'm saying??" Rainbow grunted, gripping her shirt tightly.
Serenity whimpered and nodded her head fast. "I understand… " her voice quivered and not loud enough for Dash to hear.
"I can't hear you, speak up."
"I understand, Dash." Serenity spoke up where it was heard."
Rainbow Dash snorted before letting her go. "Good." She said as she turned and went back to Applejack.
Applejack sighed before kissing her cheek. "I think she got it."
"Let's hope so." Dash muttered.
I never thought I say this, but amazing job Human Rainbow Dash for finally being the mature one. And knock the whiny cowardice out of Human Fluttershy.
Pony Fluttershy has more "balls of steel" than Serenity.
It still doesn't excuse Rainbow for kicking Rachel over a damn cliff a while ago. But, it's a start.
"Now what's all this?"
The gang jumped when they heard a new voice.
Coming out of another path were two soldiers. Only one of them had a helmet on while the other didn't.
They soon came to a cavern, large painted rocks and debris were everywhere, exposing a dark hole. When they shined their lights on it, there were blast marks. Up against the blasted hole was crates dubbed C-4.
"Is this what those other soldiers talked about? The archeologists breaking into this room?" Elizabeth asked, trying to peer inside the darkness. It was so dark even her light couldn't break through.
"Could be," Rachel muttered as she scanned the debris.
She noticed a few had writing on it. She set the torch down and began collecting rocks that had the same writing on it. Rachel knew she wouldn't find all the pieces but working with what she has, she could figure out the rest.
Elizabeth turned and watched her. "Darling, it's no time to work on puzzles."
"Gimme a second." Rachel responded as she put what she could together.
She looks up at what writing was on the wall and then looks at what she has on the ground. "For those who find this tomb, do not disturb. We failed our Gods and are now doomed to live with our punishment. If released, run. If you can, however those brave and strong enough, relieve us from our suffering… Nenog, my love, I'm so sorry, I have failed you." Rachel translated. However she didn't speak in English, not her knowledge anyway.
"Uh, what did you just say?" Elizabeth asked, watching Rachel confused.
Rachel rubbed her head with a wince, looking at the writing below as she fell into a trance once more.
Screams of doom and panic erupted in the one beloved Temple of Draconia. Normally, the dragons and the loyal Mordi could handle human retaliation, but when their forces outnumbered them, led by those who craved power upon anything else, the dragons were losing. Their bodies mutilated and used for other means for human greed.
They did not expect them to rival that of the dragons.
It started with the egglings, but it grew to where the dragons were dwindling down to more than a handful left. Their kind were becoming extinct within the span of a hundred years.
Rúna tried to stop this from happening since she rose to power, doing what she can to make peace but it wasn't enough.
The Dragonlord and his Queen then devised a plan to send the dragons to another plane. Another world where they would thrive. However, as much as Rùna loved her Dragonlord, she knew she couldn't follow. She and their child would have to stay, against Nenog's wishes.
When it was time, the remaining dragons and the last of the loyal Mordi gathered in the throne room. The royal couple nodded at each other before both hoisting their staffs up.
The two chanted, lights of the Blue Celestial and the Bloodstone glowed. The whole world trembled as magic shot between the two. Beams crossed and the fabric of this reality began to tear, rippling into form was the Portal into an unknown world.
Nenog ordered the remaining dragons to go first. As he watched his subjects escape, they heard rushing sounds of the insurrectionists storming down the halls for them.
The loyal Mordi stood facing the entrance. Armed and ready.
Nernog took Rùna by the hands and proceeded to take her and their daughter. However, his Queen didn't move.
He asks her what the hesitation was. She wordlessly looked up at him, tears running down her face, and kissed him one final time.
"Goodbye, my love." She whispered before turning the staff at him and blasted him with its magic. The blast wasn't going to kill him, but the force of it was enough to push the dragon into the Portal.
She then turned the staff at the Portal itself as there the enemy began to make their appearance. The Mordi charged and began fighting them off.
She turned to the woman who had her daughter. The staff glowed and she raised a hand towards her. Telling the woman to take the child and leave the Temple.
Rúna watched her child leave, watching her screaming and crying, wanting her mother but she can’t be with her anymore. The Queen began to use her magic and shot at the Portal. The world shook once more. Using the combined strength of the Staff’s magic and her energy.
The Portal rippled and cracked before closing in on itself, sending a shockwave that knocked everyone down.
The vision then flashed to a different scene. The remaining Mordi who remained in the Temple along with the Queen were feeling pain. Their bodies contorted and twisted as the staff glowed on its own. Anger radiated from the staff, turning them all into monsters.
“Rachel? Rachel, darling, snapped out of it!” Elizabeth shook Rachel by her shoulders, seeing her fluttering her eyes as if she was waking up.
“What…?” Rachel asked, dazed, reaching a hand up and rubbed her head.
“You were just staring at this rubble. Are you alright?” Elizabeth asked, shining the headlight in her eyes, seeing her slit pupils reacted to them.
While touching her head with one hand, she placed her other hand on her chest. The pain she felt from the vision lingered. Rachel glanced back down at the scription on the ground. “I don’t really have an answer to that…I think I just had another vision.” She was unsure of herself.
Never thought I would say this, but Queen Runa made a very, very terrible decision to do that. Why the hell can't she join her husband into the "better world" like Equestria/Equis!?
They have enough time to just jump in the portal, AND then close it on the other side.
Guess the staff itself thought the same thing too, and decide to punish her for being stupid for "betraying" her husband and daughter like that.
I'm not trying to sound negative, but think about it. Why would the staff itself punished Queen Runa, if it wasn't a very bad decision in the first place?
"How did it get trapped in there?" Elizabeth then asked.
Rachel looked around and noticed a lot of the crystals have holes in them, like the one that just burst out. She continued to look until she stared at the center of the room. There was a makeshift throne encased with the same crystal. A hole like the ones they've seen.
"Something bad happened after the Dragons left for Equestria." Rachel said. Looking around at this tomb. "There was a warning out there, written by the Queen herself, telling others to not disturb. If so, run."
"Did Queen Rùna turn them all into monsters?" Elizabeth asked.
"No, not her, " Rachel responded. "The staff did." She said as she still felt that lingering pain.
It reminded her of the pain she went through back at Equestria during her transformation but a thousand times worse.
"The Bloodstaff for the Dragonlord is somewhat sentient. Only to the ruler, it would make sense that the Blue Celestial is also sentient to the Queen." Rachel explains. "And like any sentient being, it has feelings. And some feelings are stronger than others… like anger."
"Angry for what? What caused this thing to change a bunch of people?"
"Being left behind. Being forced to stay while its counterpart goes. They were never meant to be separated. Angry of those who failed the dragons… " Rachel speculated as looked at her hands. "They were cursed. The Queen brought everyone she could who were affected and sealed them here. Encasing herself and others in these crystals. Never meant to leave."
"Until the archeologists came and blew it open and the chaos began." Elizabeth muttered. They looked up, though there were a lot of spots where the Dwellers escaped, there were still those still inside. "Let's get out of here before they wake up."
"Amen to that, sister." Rachel
While the archaeologists made a very bad move to disturbed this specific temple, and accidentally release the Dwellers.
Queen Runa is particularly blame too for making a very stupid decision to stay behind, abandoning and "betraying" both her husband and daughter.
Thus, the staff itself gave her and sadly, anybody else in the vicinity a "karmic punishment".
Thus, causing this messed up madness in the first place.
I think Rachel needs to have very choice words against Queen Runa out for her stupid ass decision from ancient past.
After all, Queen Runa is being NO better than what Spike was doing with Rachel.
So yeah, Rachel has a good reason to be pissed and disappointed at BOTH of them at the same time.
Then there’s the actual problem Rachel has now got to deal with: not getting killed by good ol’ Dad. She remembers the last time the two faced off, right in front of his new wife and her half brother. Both got good shots in before her little brother came in and bashed his head with a metal bat. She may not know his name and didn’t want him to know hers, but that four year old kid became a badass in her eyes. She told Spike that…
How the f*** did a four-year old kid get the drop on this Walmart Version of General Shepard!?
Sadly, I highly doubt the kid will be "unscathed", once a very pissed off Damien wakes up and knows what that "traitorous brat" did to him. And I doubt the new wife will do anything about it.
11655214 The new wife took the kid after right after that. She was smart and go somewhere where he won't find them so easily. Via going across the ocean.
And the four year old got the drop when the dad was too focus on trying to kill Rachel at that moment.
But her defense, she figured the other dragons would be pissed that they left their home and how much of their kind was killed by the humans and might take it out on the Queen and her daughter if they go with them.
To her, it was a damn if you do, damn if you don't situation. So like Reinhardt's mentor in Overwatch, the Queen stayed behind with the kid.
Good for them. It would be nice to see Rachel ( AND Spike once he is found, and property held accountable for leaving her and child. ) meet those two, once she finally dealt with Damien, possibly cure the dweller curse, and save the two worlds from both the portal and the war.
Because those two don't seem as bad as that ripoff of General Shepherd.
The dragon lord would still defend his own wife and daughter between those angry dragons. But I digress.
Rachel still have some very choice worlds with her, but would still help her with the dweller curse. And would probably relate to Runa, because of what happened with her and Spike.
11656078 Really? That's so weird cause the moving walls in the temple with a bunch of dwellers is literally the plot of AVP, humans finds a pyramid under miles of ice in the arctic which housed a xenomorph queen to lay eggs to infect humans to make the ultimate pray for the predators as a rite of passage. Your description of what's happening in the the temple is similar but you never watched AVP, what are the add. 😄
11656089 A lot of other games and movies have shifting walls. I did use those as inspirations, I just never seen AvP. Or anything Alien and Predator movies.
I only know that Sigourney Weaver was in a couple of them and one clip of the alien bursting out of Sir John Hurt's chest. (RIP dude,)

Bit her right in the buttocks either way
