Sunset shimmer wasn't really the nicest person starting out at canterlot high school, honestly, she had stirred up such a storm that none of the mane six ever even liked her from the beginning, days went by and as she saw twilight making new friends, never really having anyone to just be a good friend too. she had recently tried to communicate and make up for the bad that's been done, but the damage was already done, no one respected her for her years of non-stop abuse.
she drives home to her house after a long agonizing waste of time, sits by her window, staring out having a simple drink of water thinking to herself "what the fuck even am I anymore" contemplating what she would even do now. as the sun sets her hope of her ever becoming a better human being just washes away with each passing minute, she lays her head on her desk covering it with her arms and begins sobbing, then gets up.
"Fine..." she walks over to her drawer, pulling out a knife. "Eeehh" she tosses that over shoulder and grabs her S&W 627, pulling the hammer back and pushing the barrel against her head, thinking about how much of a monster she's been to everyone. getting tired of the thoughts she pulls the trigger, and with a loud bang, falls to the floor, lifeless
Soon after doing the despicable act, she wakes, only to find herself down a long hallway, all white with multiple doors on each side of her, it seems endless. she begins walking down the path that seems to stretch for miles on end until one of the doors she stops by begins to glow. she stops, taking a second to stare at it, hesitating on opening it.
the door forces itself open as if someone was on the other side kicking it open with full force, then a hand coming out of the black void and tries pulling her in. "Neither will you pay the price of eternal damnation or everlasting peace, instead," yanking her in "i'll send you to a new world, give you a new life, but not without a price.

After what seems like minutes, sunset finally wakes, feeling light headed, she's surprised to find herself in the middle of a forest. not only that, she's surprised to find that her right eye has been completely covered with a white bandage wrapping it seems, she tries removing it, but to no effort does it come off.
She eyes a star neckless wrapped around her neck, then takes it off and begins to lean her arm back getting ready to throw it far from her. Seconds before she's about to though a voice speaks out of desperation "Wait!" she halts, surprised, then peers at it puzzled "S-sorry!, it took me some time before I realized that if finally connected with you. please to meet you ms, sunset is it?" puzzled at how they know her name she responds "yeah?".
" yes! ok, I got the right one, i'll explain why I'm here later, for now all I can tell you is this. Look, you've been put on a certain kind of trial, for what you've committed, but since you seem to have a lot of potential, I'm guessing it just Wasn't your time yet, though if I were you I would be thankful you got this chance regardless. you've been chosen to come back as half demon, imperfect form, but over time you'll learn how to utilize anything special you have with you" "How exactly do you know all this?" she asks. "That I will tell you as time goes on, " the star glows and a s sliver of light scatters quickly up to her bandaged eye, taking the shape of her other eye in 2d perspective in a burning flame type form, a spiritual eye "For now just refer to me as Kato, ill be yours, guide so to speak, he" the flame disappears and she's now left to wander the forest. "fuck... I don't even remember anything, " she comes across what looks to be an abandoned house, desperate she runs towards it. "It's kinda big I guess, only 2 stories..." the first floor of the place is completely blocked off, as there's only a ladder to reach the 2nd floor of the structure, she climbs up into the 2nd floor quietly walking making sure to not make noise "Food, food, " she looks in all possible places there could be at least a small portion of something edible, soon after she hears footsteps walking fast up the stairs on her left side. she doesn't run, but Instead jerks head to the left out of pure fear to just see what's coming for her.
There, stands applejack pointing a musket rifle right at her, with a look of slight anger on her face Apple ask "May I ask you what the hell you're doing in my house?". Sunset's eyes widen and she bows pleading to let her stay.
"Please!" she ask in the most desperate tone, "I'm a wanderer without anywhere to go nor live, I'll repay you anyway you want if you allow me to stay!"
Applejack looks at her with a confusing yet pleased look, Considering that you've just busted into my house so rudely uninvited I should just kick you down from here, but since you've proven yourself to be useful, heh, alright, I've got some task for you to do for me before the sun sets she tosses an empty sack at sunset to catch "I need you to do a simple task for me" Applejack said. "And what might that be?" sunset asked batting an eye. "Go down to the local blacksmith not too far from here, go there and ask him for some crafting material, you know steel, I got into a bit of an argument with him recently and until the fire of that tones down I have to refrain from going there for a while, so, when you've come back ill reward you "she gives her silver coins to go purchase said material "t-thank you, ill do my best, " she says before walking off to the nearest village to go retrieve said material walking through the area she gazes around the village "well this sure as hell isn't Equestria" she eventually makes her way to the local blacksmith, before getting a chance to speak to them she hears a familiar voice from afar. "Give that back! ~" a voice says in the distance as she sees two men running off in the opposite direction with a small bag
"Great..." the flame appears in front of her bandaged eye again "well now its time I teach you something useful, or at least, accelerate the learning process of your abilities" snapping his fingers "you should now the phrase by no-" he gets cut off by sunset as she says the phrase that allows her to use her new found magic "oni no mea!". she takes the form of only black smoke as she makes her way over to them at a rapid pace, stopping in front of them and taking her regular form again "so where do you think you're going? It's not nice to take other peoples belongings.
the first mugger chuckles and ask "and what would some useless husk like you even do about it" the second just unsheathes his katana and goes for on overhead strike, she catches the katana and grips it with her bare hand tightly, melting the blade seconds after making contact with it, beginning to get angry as her spiritual eye takes form, the other two back away in shock and slight disbelief "now, I could bring harm to you, but I have a job to do, and I don't want to get messy for just some simple shopping trip, so how about you two move it along..." the two quickly run off the opposite direction she takes the bag of yen back and gives it to the girl
"T-thank you miss ^w^ " she says with the cutest smile on her face. "You're welcome" sunset says, "what's your name?. "Twilight, twilight sparkle", she replies. "Twilight hmm? Interesting name, " "Thank you :3" twilight replies "you're coming to get material from the blacksmith place, right?" "yeah?, why do you ask?". "Then let me buy it for you instead, you did help me out after all". The sunset looks in shock and shakes her head, "No need, the person I'm doing this for already gave me the money to go get it, its fine" she pets twilight as twilight squeaks cutely "aw ok: 3". Sunset goes in with her and pays for the material after its done being made putting it in the sack she was given, as she walks off twilight waves bye to her, and sunset waves back, she heads back to Apples place and sets the bag in with apple in the basement "Done with the task, " she says"Good" apple says, taking it and saving it for later and going over to finish making another Yari spear "oh and before I forget, here's your reward" she throws her a tiny bag "what's this?"
Sunset ask. "gold coins high in value, I don't need that much to spend these days, but I figured it might help you out" Sunset takes it and puts it in one of her pockets and bows "thank you" she says "anything else I can do for you?" "Not at the moment, so you can go rest, " she says as she picks up the material and gets to work.
