Time: 2122 Common Era

Sunset and Abbadon crashed onto the desolate planet. Immediately Abbadon recovered and grabbed Sunset, hurling him away from himself. He then stood up and fired a bolt of demonic energy, it missed, but enough energy brushed by Sunset to render his right front hoof numb and useless from the blow. Slowly Sunset staggered to all fours. He then shook his head and released a massive blast of kinetic energy that caused the ground to crack and crumble. The wave struck Abbadon and sent him flying high into the air. Abbadon recovered and levitated himself in midair to avoid collision with the ground. As he did so, he fired a long stream of dark matter from his right palm. Sunset began to duck and dodge the stream as it disintegrated everything it touched. After a minute, Abbadon cut off the stream and snapped a finger. The sound reverberated, and suddenly a 10.3 magnitude earthquake encompassed the whole planet. Crumbling mountains and yawning chasms threatened to overwhelm Sunset, but he leapt with all his might above the exploding stones and spread his wings. He seized Abbadon, who was too surprised to quickly react, and hurled him with incredible strength towards the ground. The resulting explosion created a crater two kilometers in diameter.

Abbadon, however, simply shook it off and leapt out of the giant hole. Looking at Sunset hovering in the sky, he yelled, unleashing a sonic blast. This blast knocked Sunset straight out of the sky. As he fell, Abbadon charged up a massive blast of electricity and fired. Sunset twisted his body at the last millisecond, dodging the searing bolt. The bolt stuck the last standing mountain on the planet's surface and blew it to smithereens. Sunset alighted on the ground and slammed his front hoofs on the ground. Claws the size of Boeing 747s rose out of the ground to crush Abbadon. However, the demon simply ducked under them and melted them into slag with a blast of fire hotter than the center of the sun. With that, Abbadon levitated the large mass of magma over his head and hurled it in a tidal wave of molten rock. Sunset swiped a hoof through the air, and the magma froze rock solid. Swiping his other hoof through the air, Sunset commanded the small sea of ice to break up into giant shards and fly straight at his enemy. The demon reduced the density of his body for a moment and allowed the giant boulders to pass through his form and smash harmlessly against the rocks behind him. He then solidified again. Suddenly, though, a well-timed beam of light energy from Sunset blinded him as he rematerialized and he staggered straight into a blast of kinetic energy. The blast was so strong, in fact, that it knocked him straight into orbit.

Sunset took a long, deep breath. He looked up at the sky and expected to see Abbadon flying straight back at him, which he did. Unfortunately, that wasn't all that was flying at him. Using his power over geo-magnetic energy, Abbadon was levitating a small moon straight at the planet. An entire moon. Sunset groaned, but simply threw up a powerful energy shield just as the massive rock, a couple hundred kilometers in radius, smashed into the globe, knocking a third of the whole planet into space. The shield flickered and collapsed from the blow, but Sunset was safe. He quickly teleported out from under the colossal pile of rubble to face Abbadon. He reared back a hoof and prepared to hurl a bolt of gravimetric energy denser than a white dwarf star… this blast would certainly cause anything in a two hundred kilometer radius to be compressed into a piece of matter the size of a marble. He was about to hurl the bolt when his senses picked up something. Going on a hunch, he quickly checked the travelers database. What he saw stopped his heart for a moment: this planet was inhabited… And the battle had just demolished it. If he continued to aggravate Abbadon, the battle would intensify to unprecedented levels, and the planet, and probably the whole solar system, would be destroyed. Countless innocent lives would be lost, and whole ecosystems would be extinguished. He wouldn't, he couldn't, keep fighting. Sunset put down his hoof.

He glared defiantly at Abbadon and ground out, "I will not fight you Abbadon!"

Abbadon reached Sunset in a single stride and struck him across the face.

"You won't fight me? That really makes my life easier. Oh wait… Are you trying to evoke the chains of truth back onto me? You fool! Those chains only go to those who are pure of heart, something you're no longer capable of. Don't you understand? You have no shape-shifting abilities, no dimensional traveling abilities, and no chains of truth abilities. You are weak and helpless… now beg for mercy, and I will end it all swiftly."

Suddenly, Abbadon reeled as if from a blow from behind. Just behind the demon was a figure… that figure was Discord.

"I say, that's not at all nice little demon!" Laughed Discord.

Abbadon turned to look at Discord, "Discordious? Hilarious. I thought you gave up the right to be called a hero of the multiverse long ago!"

Discord floated into the air as he replied, "And I have, but that doesn't mean I cannot do something for another. And just look at that! I can still travel between dimensions! Who would have thought? Anyway… Sunset! You must come to terms with yourself! Only then will you be able to save yourself! I am no fighter… but I can cause a good distraction!"

Suddenly a massive army of Abbadon copies appeared from nowhere… and jumped on the true demon of hate.

"What? N-No! How is this...? Ack!" Exclaimed Abbadon as he was buried.

Sunset slowly sat up, groaning. Come to terms with himself? How was that possible? Abbadon was right, he was still a killer, and he was hated everywhere. If everyone hated him, how could that mean he was good? Sunset buried his face in his front hoofs. He was hopeless. Hundreds of lives… lost… he had killed them. How could he live that over? How? By letting love back in? Impossible, that wasn't enough... was it?

A single tear formed in his left eye as he contemplated his fate. He was going to die… and when he died, Abbadon would be done. He would leave them alone. Perhaps this was his destiny… to let it all go.

Then the awful realization came to him: Abbadon had been lying. He wasn't going to stop, he was a demon! He would continue to kill and fight and destroy, and his first target would be the last reminisce of the Joseph he hated… the My Little Pony dimension. He would burn Canterlot, Manehattan, Ponyville… He would kill all his friends. He would kill Fluttershy. At the thought of Fluttershy, another realization came to him… She loved him… and he loved her back. The entire dimension viewed him as a hero. Granted, that did not wipe out the past, but it gave him a shot at making it all better. He had friends, and he knew he was capable of repentance, and love.

At that moment, Abbadon broke free of his clones and attempted to grab Discord. Discord floated away laughing. "So close, Abbadon! Try again!"

Abbadon hurled a wave of bolts of demonic energy at Discord. He dodged them and snapped his fingers. Tentacles of earth exploded from the ground and encased Abbadon in a writhing mass. There was a moment of silence, then the tentacles exploded with a rending blast, sending shards of stone in every direction. Abbadon conjured up an arsenal of demonic lances and hurled them in a vast wave at Discord. Discord simply flashed out of existence and then flashed back in as the projectiles passed harmlessly by. He snapped his fingers again and zombies and endermen akin to the ones in the Minecraft dimension rose up out of the ground and surrounded and seized Abbadon. The demons snarled and began to blast away legions of the creatures with massive bolts of demonic energy. The moment he finished off the last one, he whirled with incredible speed and hurled a demonic sword straight at Discord.

Discord, who had originally been sitting in a hovering easy chair and drinking a soda, got up and dodged the sword. He then hurled a blast of colorful spellbinder energy. The bolt stuck the demon, and he fell to his knees as his senses became extremely disoriented. Discord was about to remark on how fun this was when Abbadon hurled a bolt of electricity at random. It was pure luck, but the bolt struck Discord in the chest, shocking him enough to cause him to stop the spellbinder bolts coming and fall to the ground, dazed, but mostly unhurt. Dizzily, he tried to get up, but Abbadon seized up him by the throat.

"I'll deal with you later," he ground out as he opened a portal back to the My Little Pony dimension and hurled Discord through. He then turned to Sunset, grinning.

"They'll all pay for that, perhaps submerging the planet with lava would be a good idea… don't you think?"

Sunset unsteadily stood up and said, "It's over Abbadon, you cannot win."

Abbadon laughed, "I most certainly can win! I am a demon! A fallen Angel of the Heavens! I have all the power in the multiverse, and I… cannot… die!" With that, he extended one gnarly claw and pointed it at Sunset and charged it with demonic energy.

Sunset continued, "You will not win. You may be powerful, but you will be always just like the old me: hated. You will be feared, and you will be fought. You will never know peace, respect, or awe… you will only know war. And for all eternity, you will be alone… without love… and that is the truth!"

Then something happened: a massive blast of gold energy exploded from Sunset at the same time Abbadon fired the blast. The gold energy immediately enveloped Abbadon and carried him off his feet.

"What? The chains? B-but that means you are pure of heart! But that's not possible! THAT IS NOT POSSIBLE!"

With that, a portal back to the deepest ring of the infernal realm opened and Abbadon was borne, screaming, off to his prison.

Sunset smiled a calm smile… he did it. And he was back to being a true hero. Then he felt cold… the blast from Abbadon… it had hit its mark. Sunset slowly looked down to see a hole in his side, oozing blood. Slowly Sunset fell to his knees, and then to the floor. As he faded into oblivion, he smiled calmly. He did it, Abbadon was once again trapped, and Sunset's soul would always remain pure beyond the grave. His friends… no, his family… was safe… always safe. Then Sunset, the hero, died.

Specific Location: I AM NOT GOING TO TELL YOU

Time: TAKE A GUESS

Sunset opened his eyes groggily, the sight that met his eyes were astonishing: he was in a grassy meadow covered in flowers. Suddenly he was aware of a presence and he tried to sit up, only to find he was still in his pony form. He quickly scrambled onto all fours and turned to face the entity behind him. It was the Paradox, wreathed in golden light.

"Paradox? Am I… Am I dead?"

There was a long pause…

"No."

Sunset looked around, "Impossible… Where am I?"

"You are back at the same spot you arrived when you first began to understand the meaning of love."

Sunset looked at the Paradox, "What now?"

"You return to your friends."

Sunset looked closely at the Paradox for a moment, and then said, "But what about the other universes? What will they think?"

Paradox shook its head and said, "It matters not what they think. However, I have returned you to your full power, which I took away at the beginning. You may go on a journey of redemption if you wish… but I sense you have one special pony waiting for you."

Sunset nodded slowly, "I do. But I must make right with the multiverse what I did wrong."

Paradox chuckled, "That can wait. Go…"

Sunset began to walk away, but then turned to the Paradox and said, "What of the multiverse though? And the era of Anarchy?"

The Paradox slowly began to levitate and dissolve into the morning light. As it did so, it said, "It is not of your concern, little one. But it soon will be. A force darker than the demons of the infernal realm is at work here, and it soon will show itself. Perhaps you do not yet need to make rights with the multiverse, for that time will come in faster than you will want, and the time for you to once again be a hero will arise."

With that, the Paradox disappeared. Sunset then looked at his side… completely healed. He then looked around as his memories flooded back. He quickly walked over to his house and looked at it… empty. He then began to trot off to Ponyville to see what might be there. As he got closer, he became aware of a large group of ponies gathered in the town square. As he got even closer, his sharp ears picked up the voice of Mayor Mare speaking.

"We gather here today," She said somberly, "to mourn the loss of our hero: Sunset."

Sunset raised an eyebrow… They assumed him dead? Almost ironic, and a whole lot embarrassing.

Slowly, he made his way through the crowd, listening to his eulogy all the way.

"Very few of us knew him well, but those who did, said he was the greatest alicorn of this time. Kind, Honest, Generous, Funny, Loyal, and Loving. We will miss him dearly."

As he got closer, he noticed the Mane 6 in the row; all in tears… even Rainbow Dash.

Feeling worse and worse, Sunset slowly made his way to the front, and sat next to Pinkie Pie, who, probably for the first time in her life, was quite sad.

"So Pinkie," Sunset said, "I was that awesome?"

Pinkie looked over and nodded sadly, "Oh, you were. I really wish you were still with us, sitting next to me and talking with me like you are right now."

Sunset nodded, "I wish that too. It's almost as if this is not unreal."

Pinkie paused to think about what Sunset had said, and then nodded, "I wish that this was not not real as well."

Sunset then realized that Pinkie was totally not getting it and looked closely at her. "Um Pinkie… Do I look dead to you?"

Pinkie looked closely back, "Yep."

Then Fluttershy noticed Sunset.

At first, she stared blankly at him… and then she yelled, probably louder than she ever had, "HE'S HERE HE ISN'T DEAD!"

She zoomed over and leapt upon burying him under a hail of kisses and hugs. The entire assembly fell apart. Rarity and Mayor Mare feinted, Rainbow zoomed off and preformed a rainboom in the excitement, Pinkie began yelling about a party, Applejack attempted to wake up Rarity, and Twilight ran over to hug Sunset too.

Suddenly, Sunset knew exactly what he had to do. Pulling up Fluttershy to the stage, he walked over to the microphone and said to Fluttershy, "Fluttershy, I've had a long time to think about this, and I want to ask you a question: will you marry me?"

With that, Sunset raised a hoof and conjured pure gold bracelets out of thin air with a dazzling show of bursts of light and color. He extended one to her. The assembly went deathly quiet, awaiting Fluttershy's response.

Fluttershy blushed profusely, and looked down at her hoofs. After a moment, she peeked lovingly at Sunset through her flowing pink mane. "Yes," she whispered, "I will marry you."
