They reached the old church quickly. It was the only thing in the whole place that wasn't gold. They entered through the old wooden door that had the same cult symbol etched into it. The inside was dusty and there were half broken pughs scattered about. Wind walked up to the podium and examined it. There was nothing but an old dusty copy of The Elements of Harmony sitting on it. "Ok, look for anything with the symbol on it. There's gotta be a secret passage around here somewhere." Wind said. The four of them searched high and low, but turned up nothing. "I don't understand. There's gotta be something here." Wind said. "Are you sure this is what you saw in the vision?" Dash asked. "Of course I'm sure." Wind replied. Wind continued to search, but still found nothing. She became frustrated and smacked the book off the podium. It fell aside and opened up to a page that had been marked. She picked up the book and looked at the page. It described a spell that Starswirl himself had written. It was supposed to make unseen things seen. Whatever that meant. "Hmm." Wind said aloud. "What is it Windy?" Applespice asked. "It's some kind of spell. Stand back, I think I have an idea." Wind said as she began to read the spell. Black vapor swirled around her feet as she read. The floor behind the podium evaporated, revealing a dark hole that dropped down into what seemed like nothingness. Dash and Pinkie approached the hole. "Are we supposed to go down there?" Dash asked. "Well, we came all this way. Why not?" Pinkie asked as she jumped into it. "Pinkie, wait!" Dash yelled, but she was already gone. "Well, looks like we gotta go down there now." Applespice said. They trio hopped in after Pinkie. They fell for what seemed like hours, until they finally hit a hard cement surface. They all groaned as they picked themselves up from the floor. Dash looked up to see Pinkie pressed up against a wall. She looked back and motioned for them to come look at something. They went over to her and peered around the corner. Wind gasped at what she saw. It was just like in her vision. There was the pentagram with five bound and gagged ponies at each point and her father in the middle. He was on his knees and slumped over, he looked weak and he was barely breathing. "Oh sweet Celestia." Dash said as she covered her eyes. The mystery unicorn was at the podium reciting the same spell she'd heard in her vision. "Enough waiting. This ends now." She said as she stepped out and drew her sword.
"Hey, asshole. I'll make you a deal, let my dad go and I'll consider letting you live." Wind said. The unicorn looked up. "How did you get here? Kill her!" He shouted as the other robed figures stood up and brandished various weapons. "Oh. You guys wanna step in here?" Wind asked as she readied to fight. The cultists charged. The fight raged on while the leader of the cult continued to chant in some other language. Wind slashed through one cultist but two more charged at her. She dodged and Applespice took them out with his hammer. Pinkie had pulled a cannon out of nowhere and was blasting random cultists with shots of red hot coal. Dash was slashing through them, desperately trying to get to Jet. No matter how many of them they cut down, there always seemed to be more coming at them. As Wind slashed another's throat, she noticed the pentagram begin to glow red. "Shit! Applespice, throw me!" She yelled. "But, Windy..." He began. "Now!" She shouted. He picked her up by the waist and hurled her over the crowd of robed unicorns. She tackled the leader and they both fell to the ground. His hood fell down, revealing his face. "No, that's not possible." Wind said as they both stood. He just laughed. "You're supposed to be dead." Wind said. "Actually, my death was merely rumored. Celestia was a fool to not allow me to perform this spell years ago." Starswirl said. "I still have time to stop you." Wind said as she readied her sword. "Actually my dear. You are too late, the spell is in it's final stages now. Your dear old dad will be vaporized along with these other five fools. I will become more powerful than Celestia herself." Starswirl said as he laughed maniacally. "No..." Wind said, realizing her defeat. "Daddy!" Wind yelled as she jumped into the center of the pentagram as it erupted in flames. She grabbed onto her father as they were both lifted into the air. "W-Wind Storm?" He asked as he opened his eyes halfway. "I'm here daddy." She said as she hugged him. "I-I need you to d-do something important, honey." He struggled to say. "Anything daddy." Wind said. "I-I need you to..." He began as he cringed in pain. "Yes daddy?" Wind asked. "… you have to kill... me." He said. "What?! I can't do that!" Wind cried. "You have t-to without a l-living host, his spell w-will not work..." He said. "I-I can't kill you daddy." Wind said as tears welled in her eyes. Jet looked his daughter in her eyes. "P-please. We can't let him win." He said as he grabbed the tip of her sword and leveled it at his chest. Wind hesitated as he brushed his hand against her face and nodded. "I'm sorry daddy, I love you." She said as she pushed the sword through his heart. "T-that's d-daddy's girl..." He said as his head slumped forward and the flames dispelled from the pentagram. They both fell to the floor. Starswirl began laughing as Wind stood up with tears streaming down her face. "What are you laughing about? You've lost." Wind said. "Oh, did I?" He said as he vanished. Dash came over to console her daughter. "I'm sorry mom. He said I had to do it." She said as she looked down at her father's body. "It's ok honey. He knew what he was doing. Your father always had a plan for everything." Dash said as she bent down and shut his eyes. She kissed his cold lips. "Applespice, please carry him. He deserves a proper burial." Dash asked as Wind grabbed the spell book Starswirl had been reading from. The group headed back out of the cavern and back towards the train station.
