In a universe with three dominant species, where friendship is magic...

Six armoured Lyrican Sirens watched in the distance as colossal beasts began assaulting the invaders from Equestria and Earth. With each clash that happened, there were explosions, followed by a mild scarlet drizzle of blood. They then saw some nearby Euphorians and Dystopians closing in on them, so they raised their swords for battle.

The six of them were all duelling on what looked like the back of a dragon, which was soaring through the sky, hunting for targets to kill. They noticed that the dragon had noticed them, so their feet glowed for a brief instance, allowing them to run underneath the dragon and completely change their gravity to continue the fight.

The beasts all landed on the body of the dragon and raised their weapons for conflict. The beasts from Dystopia all had red pendants, whilst the beings from Euphoria wore blue pendants. Both species looked at the six Lyricans and raised their weapons for a conflict of their own.

Long since erased from the history of the three worlds, there once existed a species of Sirens, cordoned off into two different clans, to maintain the Balance of Lyrica...

The six sirens began charging at the beasts, hastily wiping them out with some well-aimed sword swings and magical orbs. However, with each beast that fell, at least two more joined the fight, in an attempt to subdue the six Lyricans.

The Blissen Sirens; manipulators of happiness, and the Furen Sirens, controllers of hatred.

The six Lyricans' pendants all swung out of their armour, visible for all to see. The pendants glowed for a brief instance before the six Lyricans continued their assault, their swords glowing radiant shades of blue and red as each swing generated a devastatingly sharp wave of energy.

The Sirens worked hard to bring both peace and anger to the other species, and their efforts to maintain the Balance of Lyrica defended and safeguarded the worlds for eternities on end...

Yet one day, that balance fell into turmoil...

The beasts quickly fell before the dragon was hit and fell out of the sky rather suddenly, causing the six Lyricans to immediately jump off.

Whilst falling, the six Lyricans all grew wings. The ones with blue pendants grew dragon wings, whilst the ones with red pendants grew translucent Hippocampi wings. Their wings then enabled them to turn their fall into a rapid descent before pulling up for a rapid burst of speed.

Whilst they flew threw the skies to quell another assault, they were quickly ambushed by another squad of monsters, causing them to quickly lower their altitudes in an attempt to escape their pursuers. When that proved to be futile, they fought the beasts whilst falling from this height.

A pony named Starswirl the Bearded was hired by the six Euphorian Deities to hunt down and assassinate Lyricans, spiling the Balance of Lyrica into the side of hatred and resulting in an epoch of strife and conflict.

The beasts all crossed swords with the descending Lyricans, making clanging noises and releasing sparks with each swing that connected with the steel of their opponents' swords. However, they had failed to notice that Lyricans were capable of teleporting, and were quickly knocked away when the six Lyricans teleported behind them and dealt them a deadly string of sword swings and magical volleys.

The Balance's unbalance had opened up dimensional fissures, enabling the feuding species to take their wars to Lyrica, resulting in a horrific loop of battle, ambush, assassination, bloodlust, murder, destruction, and heartbreak.

It was indeed a gruesome war...

The Lyricans then flew up in another attempt to evade the winged beasts, but to no avail once again. Seeing no other alternative, they sheathed their swords and held their palms up to the flying beasts, which enabled them to fire large red and blue orbs down on their targets.

Despite King Allure's guidance, and his almighty power, the Lyrican Sirens were quickly quelled by the attacking forces from the other two worlds.

Years after the Balance had fallen into eternal hatred, the war had ended with the suicide or isolation of the surviving Lyricans...

One of the Lyricans saw another Lyrican, fighting against hordes of the winged beasts. However, the life of that Lyrican was swiftly ended when a giant Hydra devoured the fighter with one fell swoop.

"ALTO!" one of the Lyricans reached out for their dead companion before being tackled by another beast from Dystopia. The Lyrican who was tackled ended up kicking the beast so far that it fell onto a falling platform that looked like a part of the castle had been blown to smithereens.

The six Lyricans regrouped at the falling platform, vaulting off the bodies of many other flying beasts to pick up speed as they flew. Eventually, they all landed on the falling platform, where they were greeted by a giant knight with two dead Hippocampi draped around his neck, and a giant wizard with someone letting out their dying breaths as the giant monster drew blue energy from their lifeless body. They swung their swords in anger, then saw another squad of Euphorians and Dystopians arrive on the scene, ready to deal the six Lyricans the final word.

The Sirens eventually resurfaced...

The six Lyricans all began swinging their swords at the beasts, slicing and dicing them up whilst dodging huge blasts of magic from the wizard, and the giant sword of the knight.

After many years of suffering, the Right Souls of Fury awoke from their slumber. Their vessels; The Dazzlings, set out to further deal misery and suffering to the other species for their heinous crimes against Lyricans...

Three of the Lyricans broke off to deal with the giant wizard, nimbly teleporting all around him before kicking him straight in the face and slicing him with a sword swing directly after that. Satisfied with their hit, they moved onto the knight, where they leapt onto his sword and ran up the blade to kick his face in.

Their two attempts to overthrow the other worlds resulted in them consuming more negative energy, and creating another war by unbalancing the Balance of Lyrica once again. But both attempts ended in failure...

The knight used one of his open hands to grab the three Lyricans and throw them against the cliff walls, seeing them slam against the many types of stone with such violent force that they were falling along with the platform.

Both Equestrian Magic, and the Magic of Friendship were the keys to slaying these three infidels. And ever since The Dazzlings' two defeats, Lyrican Sirens never again plagued the three worlds.

Or so we thought...

The platform was then hit with a massive column of magic summoned by the wizard, completely ending the battle and leaving the six Lyricans swiftly separated as they fell.

"FORTISSIMO!" one of the Lyricans called out as they reached for Fortissimo.

"ADAGIO!" he called back, reaching out for his companion as the group was violently separated from each other.

The six Lyricans regrouped and removed their facial armour, revealing the faces of Adagio Dazzle, Aria Blaze, Sonata Dusk, Fortissimo Blast, Allegro Maelstrom, and Orchestral Chill, who all looked blood-stained and bruised after that violent assault.

"Brother, is this the end of us?" Aria looked rather worried as the six of them continued their free-fall.

"Never, Aria. We're never going to die, EVER! It's these other heathens that dared to strike us that shall feel our wrath!" Allegro responded to his sister whilst swinging another spectral slice of energy, cutting a Dystopian clean in half with such ferocity that the blood refused to surpass the falling Lyricans.

Suddenly, the giant knight and the wizard appeared, using their pendants to charge up a massive ball of blue energy with lightning streaking from the core. They held it up and roared, "DELEIAK, FURENS!" before turning the orb into a colossal laser that engulfed the six Lyricans

All six of the Lyricans were subjected to the full force of the laser, launching them towards a destroyed spire with only trace amounts of structural integrity remaining. Whilst The Dazzlings screamed in pain, The Blasters were using their swords to withstand the tremendous beam of light, only letting out grunts of resistance as they tried holding their ground.

"Sisters! Stay close to us! It's the only way we'll survive this war!" Fortissimo yelled at The Dazzlings as the six of them were shot towards the ruined spire, with a number of beasts following after them.

"Hierarxe, deleim pergre zaredel. Ni cora dain nifimirek Lyricans..." the knight spoke to the wizard, getting him to fly off and quell another assaulting squad of humans and ponies. Once the wizard was out of the knight's sight, he charged towards the ruined spire to intercept the six Lyricans.

Meanwhile, a unicorn in a wizard's outfit with bells stood on a piece of the cliff that was still structurally intact, watching the whole series of events happening straight in front of him. Using his magic, he conjured an oaken staff with an emerald orb at the peak, and gazed on the spire as the Lyricans crashed into it, with the knight hastily pursuing them.

"The Souls of Song are still a danger to Equestria..." he said, stroking his beard with his chin before adjusting his belled hat a little. "Trifling monstrosities, all of them. They must be completely wiped from existence to ensure the safety of ponykind..."

He then leaped off of his perch, lighting up his horn to envelop himself in a bright aura. Using this, he was capable of flying. He then noticed more beasts flying his way, so he flew right underneath them and used the tip of his horn to fire a stream of energy at the attackers.

With the beasts quelled, he was suddenly ambushed by a giant monster with tentacles, but he merely smirked when he relinquished his aura and charged up another spell. Concentrating hard, he saw the monster raise his fist to attack him, but he merely teleported away from the calamity in a burst of bright light.

The next thing he knew, he stood on top of the destroyed spire, looking down on the six injured Lyricans. Raising his staff and charging his horn, the pony aimed an orb of energy at the three Lyricans who were caring for Adagio, Aria and Sonata.

No sooner had he fired, that he'd noticed that The Dazzlings pushed their brothers out of the way to receive the full force of his attack. But whilst he had hit the wrong target, the pony still cracked a rather sinister smile as his eyes glowed bright blue for a brief instance...

The Battle of the Bands, after the final assault...

No sooner had The Dazzings rose to their feet once more, that they tried to sing once again. To their shock and dismay, their voices had turned from beautiful to completely horrible. Their once captive audience also seemed rather surprised that their vocal prowess had completely abandoned them at the worst of times.

To no surprise, they were assaulted by a rather angry crowd, who had finally seen the three of them for what they truly were. It wasn't long before the three of them fled from the scene, hoping that no-one would be following them.

"How is this possible?!" Adagio looked completely panicked as she looked down at herself. She had it all, and it had all been taken away from her in a brief instant. "We were just about to win as well!"

"Those stupid Rainbooms... They'll pay for this someday!" Aria screamed out in rage as the three of them then immediately saw themselves for what they truly were. They looked at their reflections in a puddle of water and immediately shed a tear.

"Forget it, girls. We're finished! Washed up! This is the end of us!" Adagio began crying as she got down to her knees and started letting out more and more tears of regret. "We're nothing more than heartless monsters who only make people angry!"

"Let's just get home before anything else happens..." Aria looked rather sorrow-ridden as the three of them eventually started walking home, with Adagio getting to her feet last "I just hope it'll all work out someday..."

As The Dazzlings walked home, they were unaware that green flames had evaporated from their skin, disappearing behind them rapidly like paper burning in a fireplace. They did feel a little bit better, but they were still mourning their losses at CHS. This was truly the end of them, and nothing would be able to change that...

But upon The Dazzlings' second defeat, they had lost the one thing that held back their true power: The darkness that had contaminated the Right Souls of Fury...
