Tornado followed her, using his magic to sense for any further surprises.

"I don't like this," said Battlefield, as they walked. "It's too quiet I'd figure they'd be trying to roll over us right now. Does anybody sense anything?"

"Um, I'm not getting anything." Aurora answered. "Bellrock may already be realizing he needs Sunstar to break the soul seal." Cobra whispered, "That is if he doesn't have Bryon." "Angel's Island isn't an easy place to attack." Sunstar replied, "I'm sure Bellrock wouldn't risk it. He already knows I'm coming so he is likely hiding in wait for me to break the seal." "Still, We need to be very careful that we don't let him get Sunstar. I know what that heart is and will do." Cobra narrowed his eyes, "We can't afford to lose her." "You're not still thinking about that gate are you?" Starlight asked. "I did more research in Riverfalls. The royal library there is very impressive. Plus, I picked Queen Riverstar's brain about it too. The gate is from a time before magic. It is set to open when Ragnarok begins. Ragnarok is the begining of the end. I didn't know that before." Cobra replied.

"Do you feel like an idiot for trying to open that gate?" Battlefield asked Cobra.
"Bellrock will do whatever it takes to get the Heart," said Bellstar. "So be on your guard. He won't give up easily. He's always been stubborn."
"You know me too well, sister," said a voice. Standing on a ridge above the group was Bellrock. "Good afternoon. I'm honored to have celebrities like you come to stop me."

"Hold it right there, fiend!" Tornado snapped, bringing his pistol up to bear at bellrock. "I would not make any sudden moves, if I were you!"

Bellrock just grinned. "Go ahead and shoot," he told Tornado smugly. "It'll take more than that to kill him."

"I'm the only reason you are here, correct?" Sunstar asked, "You know you need me to get to the heart." Sunstar lowered her head, "If you promise to spare them, I'll go with you." "What?" Starlight and Cobra both looked shocked. "Are you nuts?" Aurora asked next. "No, no way! I refuse to allow you to sacrifice yourself like that!" Cobra cried out, "And Battlefield, yes I feel stupid." "You can't!" Starlight sputtered, "Sunstar, you just can't!" "The Heart knows I'm close. Please, don't worry. Everything will be okay." Sunstar walked toward Bellrock, "You will save me. For now, I must leave you behind." "Sunstar! listen to reason!" Cobra shouted, "this is what Bellrock wants! You must refuse! Fight it! He can never take your will!" "Take another step, and I'll bury you in a landslide!" Aurora hissed, "You are walking into a trap!" "I'm sorry, but this must happen." Sunstar joined Bellrock.

Tornado lowered his weapon. "Battlefield, is this wise?"

"Hell no!" Battlefield raised his shotgun and fired off all five shells at Bellrock. He then drew Firewalker and charged the sorcerer, pushing Sunstar out of the way. Bellrock drew his sabre and started to fight Battlefield. It was furious duel, with the sorcerer managing to cut a slash across the half-demon's abdomen. Battlefield growled in pain, but kept on fighting and gave Bellrock a few slashes of his own. The sorcerer finally shot a blast of magic that sent Battlefield flying through the air and slamming into the ground.
Bellrock then teleported away, leaving his opponent to lay on the ground.
At the same time, more of Bellrock's followers attacked the group. Bellstar fought them off with lightining bolts.

"Bellrock's got Sunstar!" Cobra screamed, shifting to his namesake and coiling around Battlefield to protect him. He spread his hood, keeping the bullets back. Cobra then let his fangs slide out of their pocket in his mouth. "You can kill me later for this." He struck, dealing a small amount of venom into Battlefields body, "But we need you alive to help us save Sunstar."
Aurora popped up in front of a unicorn stallion and gave a maccabare grin. The Stallion looked puzzled, which changed to horror as he was torn apart by a spire of rock rising up under him. "Hey Starlight! I've killed five!" She called, dashing toward her next victem. "Six, now seven." Starlight called back as a pegasus mare met her end at her knuckle gloves, "Make that eight!" a second mare fell, cut down by her own sword. Aurora crouched, both hands flat on the ground. "I'm going to give you a chance to save yourselves." She waited, "that desperate to meet the maker, huh? Fine by me!" The ground rumbled ominously, "Last chance! Okay fine." She unleashed a crack in the ground. The crack spiraled out to open up under Bellrocks troops. They fell in screaming, their screams cut of as the ground closed. Aurora felt exhausted. At least that cut the number down a bit.
Cobra snapped at any enemy dumb enough not to fear the giant snake. He had chosen his giant form for a reason. It did mean weaker scales, which was a small price to pay. The scales were doing their job so he couldn't complain, until somebody got lucky and sank a bullet through the softer flesh of his chest. Thankfully, the shot had come from a rather long distance, and got caught in his thick skin. Still, it smarted. Cobra sighed and lowered his head to remove the bullet with a fang. This was not going well at all.
Sunstar had gone quietly as Bellrock teleported them both away. She knew she was close to the heart. She could feel her own magic calling to her, begging for release from its 100 year prison. That would come soon, so very soon.

Battlefield managed to sit up, groaning from the pain. He noticed Cobra's fang marks. "Why the hell did you bite me?" he asked. He looked around the battle. "And where the hell is Sunny?"
The others members of the group fought off Bellrock's followers. Bellstar kept zapping them, while Zero blew them away with hios shotgun.
Bellrock arrived in front of Coldheart Castle with Sunstar. "You suprise me, Lady Sunstar," he told her. "I never thought you'd surrender that easily."

"Bellrock got her. I bit you to keep you from bleeding to death." Cobra replied, "Sunstar went quietly."
"I have my reasons." Sunstar stared straight ahead.

"What the hell?!" Battlefield growled, standing up. "What is she playing at?" He then remembered something and grinned. "Nice move, Sunny. He won't see it coming."
"You do realize what may happen once I possess the Heart, don't you?" Bellrock asked.

"What is she planning?" Cobra asked.
"I do. Do you know what will happen once I touch the Heart?" Sunstar asked, "Have you really thought everything through?"

Battlefield just kept grinning. "You'll see."
"Yes, I have," replied Bellrock and said no more. They stepped into the castle, which was dark and deserted. "If you'll be so kind, Lady Sunstar, please lead the way."
