"I already told you, I'm fine!" Sunset Shimmer said for the nth time. Her friends were surprised when she showed up in school the day after getting hit by a car, and not covered in bandages, casted or in a wheelchair.

"How can you be fine, darling?" Rarity asked. "Do you know how over the speed limit that crazy lady was? You should have at least a broken leg."

"You should totally sue her sorry butt!" Rainbow suggested. "We're witnesses. You could get a gazillion dollars in compensation!"

"I don't want to sue anybody. And you know I'm a magical creature from Equestria. I can probably heal faster in here or something. It's totally plausible!"

"Have you talked to Twilight about this?" Fluttershy asked.

"Of course!" Sunset lied. "She said she would look into it."

"One last time, just to be sure." Applejack said. "Yer entirely sure yer fine?"

She sighed. "Yes, Applejack. Yes, I am."

Applejack chose to believe her friend, but she decided to keep an eye on her anyway. As the human counterpart of the Element of Honesty, it was her duty to know when people were lying or just not telling the whole truth; and that's exactly what Sunset Shimmer was doing.

"But, darling, where did you go after that?" Rarity asked. "We were looking for you everywhere but--"

"Oh, shoot, look at the time!" Sunset Shimmer interrupted her, staring at her phone screen, pretending to be looking at the clock. "I need to, uh, do the thing in the, eh, place with the... Person! Gotta go, bye!" Sunset Shimmer dashed out of there.

"Tell the person that I'd like to talk to them about the stuff we'll do that day!" Pinkie yelled before Sunset Shimmer disappeared in a corner.

"I hate lying to my friends." Sunset commented while styling Hope's hair. "But hiding the truth is better than straight up dying, right?" Hope nodded, but only slightly so that the movement wouldn't mess Sunset's work.

"Mommy used to say that lying is bad when it hurts people, but ok when you do it to protect the ones you love." she said before frowning. "But she lied when she got sick, telling us she was fine..."

"Maybe your mom just wanted you to smile for a little longer before she could tell you."

"I guess..."

"Alright, it's done!" Sunset Shimmer said, getting up from the chair she was sitting while styling Hope's hair, then guiding her to the nearest mirror. "Ta-daaa~!"

Hope gasped in surprise. Her long black hair was now braided into cute pigtails. She touched them with the tip of her fingers and smile.

"It looks so pretty!" she said while hugging Sunset's legs.

"Thanks. My friend Rarity taught me how to do that. It's not really my style, but it suits you just fine!"

Suddenly they felt a shiver run down their spine. Sunset rubbed her nape.

"You felt that, too?" Hope asked, sounding concerned.

"Y-Yeah. Weird!" she noticed the little girl trying to conceal a yawn. "Well, it looks like it was a sign for you to got to bed."

"But I'm not sleepy..."

"Sleepy or not, girls your age are supposed to sleep eight hours every night. Time to brush your teeth and jump in bed."

"Fiiiiine..."

Sunset Shimmer, now wearing her pink pajamas, sat on her bed and smiled at the sound asleep little girl, wearing the light orange pajamas with a cute little teddy bears all over them, one of the clothing sets she had bought for her young houseguest to wear.

"Heh, so is this how it's like to be a mother?" she mumbled to herself before lifting the covers so that she could lie down beside her adoptive sister/daughter/guest, wrapping her arms around her for comfort.

She was drifting off into sleep when she suddenly felt the bed growing colder. Not only colder, but harder too. Her surroundings were also growing brighter. She opened her eyes and gasped: Sunset and Hope were lying together on the wooden floor of the Black Ball Room. She sat up and looked around; the couple and redheaded girl were there, already wearing their suits. There was also a bald old man wearing an hospital gown and a skinny young man with black and white hair that appeared to be in his early twenties.

"Looks like someone chose to ignore the warning!" the boy teased.

"Warning?" Sunset asked. "What warning? We didn't receive any warning!"

"She's a greenhorn, sweetie, remember?" the blonde girl said.

"Ohhhh, that's right. Yeah, there's a warning. Do you remember feeling a chill or something like that?"

"Yes, but--"

"Well, that's the warning!" the girl interrupted. "Every time you feel a chill, hurry up and put the suit on."

"Uh, forgive me for interrupting but..." the young man said. "What's going on here? Where are we?"

"What's the last thing you remember?" the blue-haired boy asked.

"I was having a smoke break on the roof of the company I work for, but then I felt someone push me. Next thing I know, I'm here. And then you people started appearing out of thin air."

"Oh, yeah. The thing is, you died and this is your second chance." the boy said, not even attempting to sugarcoat the shocking news. "All you do now is accept it and follow our lead if you want to survive."

"Why are we back here?" Hope, who was awoken by the ruckus, asked. "Am I dreaming?"

"Sorry, Hope." Sunset Shimmer said. "That's not a dream. We're back here."

"Back too soon, if you ask me." the blonde girl crossed her arms. "Back then we would receive one mission every couple of months. Now we only have weeks worth of rest. And it's been like, what? Nine days since the Furball business? Give me a fucking break..."

"Maybe there are more aliens now than there were before." the boy theorized. "But is it really something bad? If we have more missions, then we receive more points, thus gaining 100 and, by extension, our freedom much faster."

"Yeah, I suppose you're right."

A beam of light suddenly appeared from the Black Ball, pointing at a spot in the middle of the room. Little by little, the light worked its way up, forming two teenage girls who were hugging each other. They looked around in confusion.

"H-Huh? What's going on?" the girl with auburn hair asked.

"What happened to the fire? Are we safe?" the other girl, who had dark brown hair with light brown streaks, asked.

"Four newcomers? Feeling generous tonight, BB?" the boy tapped the Black Ball.

"I-I'm scared, Pearl." the girl with auburn hair said, hugging her friend tightly.

"M-Me too, Clap!" the brown-haired girl said.

The boy shrugged. "Ain't nobody here but us chickens. We're all harmless, I promise. The real threat will be presented in a few moments."

A new beam of light shot out of the Black Ball, this one forming a teenage boy with light purple hair.

"I-Is this the real threat?" the girl called Pearl asked.

"Nyeh, probably not."

The girls jumped, caught by surprise when the sphere started playing the same song it played last time Sunset was in that room:

The old man chuckled after the Black Ball finished playing the song. "My granddaughter sang this to me once. This bring back memories..."

The same message that appeared the first time Sunset was called to the room appeared again:

"That's... Ominous!" the young man pointed out. The words then got replaced by different ones and the mugshot of a beautiful woman with pale white skin, long golden hair and piercing blue eyes. She would look almost human if it weren't for the clear pair of little pink wings on the sides of her head protruding from under her hair.

"Finish off? You mean, like, kill her?" he yelped, surprised when the ball suddenly opened up.

"That's the theory, anyways!" the blue-haired boy joked as he picked up two Gib Rifles and tossed one to his partner.

"You still haven't told us what's going on." the girl called Clap said. "What's this ball? What's that thing it's showing? Who are you guys? And why did that guy appeared out of nowhere?"

"All of your questions will be answered in due time." the blonde girl explained before tossing her a brieface with the name Clapperboard written on it. "For now, wear this." she then tossed the briefcase with the name Black Pearl to the other girl.

The girl named Clapperboard opened the briefcase and picked up the black suit. She raised an eyebrow. "You want us to strip naked in front of you?"

"No, you can strip naked in the corridor. No one can see you there."

she dropped the suit back in the briefcase and crossed her arms. "No thank you."

"Are you sure about that? This suit can save your life."

"You didn't even explained to us what's going on here, and now you want us to wear some kinky bodysuit? I repeat: no thank you."

"No thank you!" Black Pearl repeated, crossing her arms to mimic her friend. Together, they walked down the corridor.

"Give them a minute." the blonde said.

Pearl and Clap returned moments after that.

"What the fuck, why are we locked in here?" Clap asked.

"It's the way things are." the blonde girl said with a shrug.

"Controller Roller?" the blue-haired boy called. "Who's Controller Roller?" the purple-haired boy raised his hand. The veteran threw him a briefcase with his name on it. Roller opened the briefcase, took the suit and walked to the corridor.

"Wait, you actually believe them?" Clap asked.

"The last thing I remember was dying." the purple-haired boy said. "Then I appeared here without a single scratch. If a strange guy tells me to wear a suit that can probably save my life, you bet your sweet ass I'll listen." without further ado, he disappeared in the turn of the corridor.

"And where's your suit?" the blonde asked, pointing at Sunset Shimmer and Hopewell.

"I left it here last time. Hope took her suit home."

"Then you're safe." she passed Sunset the briefcase with her name. "But you, little girl, you're most likely fucked!"

"Don't talk to a little kid like that." Sunset Shimmer scolded her.

"I'm not that little." Hope said, pouting and crossing her arms. After all, she heard her father saying much worse words and thought nothing of them, even though she barely knew what half of them meant.

"Doesn't really matter, she won't survive this round."

"And why not?"

"See for yourself!" she passed the briefcase with the name Hopewell to them. Sunset noticed that it felt much lighter than her own. She opened it fearing the worst, only to find out that Hope's suit was missing. "Understand now? You can take your suit with you, but if you leave it behind, it will stay behind."

"Shit!" Sunset Shimmer cursed.

"And don't even think about taking someone else's suit. Even if you do, it won't work. Well, have fun running around like a headless chicken."

Controller Roller returned to the room, already wearing his black suit. Sunset Shimmer lightly squeezed Hope's shoulder.

"Don't worry, Hope. I promise I will protect you!" Hope nodded as Sunset ran to the corridor to put her suit on.

"What about the two of you?" the blue-haired boy asked. "Not gonna wear yours?"

"Don't you think it's a little... Shameful?" the young man asked, trying to ignore the bulges in the crotch area of the two other young men of the team.

"You get used to it after a couple of missions." he said.

"I-I'll pass, thanks!"

"And what about you, gramps?"

"I'm a little too old to play with you kids." the bald elder explained. "I just want to go back to my hospital room. I have a surgery scheduled for tomorrow."

Sunset Shimmer returned, already wearing her suit, then picked up her trusty Gib Gun, but dropped it when she noticed one thing she didn't notice during the last mission because she did not approach the Black Ball:

"Wh-Wh-Why is there a guy in there?"

The other newcomers approached the ball out of curiosity and there was indeed someone inside it; it was a naked man sitting down in the center of the sphere and hugging his knees; he also had a breathing mask strapped to his face and suction cups attached to his bald head.

"Our savior!" the blonde said. "He's the guy who gave us another chance to live by bringing us here. But he's not very interactive, he just sits there, doing nothing."

Sunset Shimmer was curious, but decided to postpone her investigation when Hope stood beside her and held her hand; right now ,she had different priorities. Sunset picked the gun she dropped and holstered it. The two suitless girls then started screaming when the blonde girl started disappearing.

"Calm down, that's normal." she said before the lower half of her head disappeared, soon followed by the rest of her body. The old man was next, followed by the purple-haired boy, Hope and Sunset, the two girls, the quiet girl with glasses and the young man with black and white hair.

"So, is that it? Can we go home now?" Clap asked.

"Not yet." the blonde explained. "Remember that thing we saw on the ball back in the room? We have to hunt it down and kill it, as well as anything otherworldly that comes our way."

"How do I shoot?" Controller Roller asked, looking from all angles at the Gib Rifle he picked up.

"Easy peasy!" the blue-haired boy pointed at the triggers. "Upper one locks on target, lower one shoots. There's a short delay, but the results are guaranteed!"

"That's--"

Before Roller could finish that sentence, a pair of talons clutched his shoulders. For a split second, all of them could see that the talons belonged to the alien shown by the Black Ball. She had a naked humanoid body, completely exposing herself to the group; she also had talons instead of feet and forearms, her thighs were covered in pink feathers and her arms had long wings attached to them, granting her the ability of flight. Three other Harpies also captured the blue-haired boy, the young man and the bald old man. Sunset Shimmer had the intention of protecting Hope at all costs, so she immediately shot the closest Harpy, which was the one holding Controller Roller hostage. The four Harpies flew away while doing random turns in midair to make it more difficult for the girls to shoot at them. The Harpy carrying Roller didn't make it very far, dropping him after her torso exploded.

"GIVE MY BOYFRIEND BACK!" the blonde yelled before running after them, Sunset and the others following her.

"Are you ok?" Pearl asked, helping the boy up. "That was a nasty fall."

"Surprisingly so, yes!" he replied. "They weren't bullshitting when they said this suit is great."

The Harpies led the group to the outskirts of Canterlot Town, where an abandoned transmission tower sat with several large bird nests built between the steel beams. The three Harpies they were following started flying around the tower.

"Keeeeeaaaaarrr!" they screamed, sounding like a human trying to mimic the cry of a hawk. Suddenly, several more Harpies came out of the bird nests and started circling the structure while the first three carried their prey to the biggest nest, which was located on the peak of the transmission tower.

The suit strengthened the blonde's leg, allowing her to jump much higher than any human ever could. "I TOLD YOU TO GIVE BACK MY--" one of the winged women intercepted her, wrapping her arms around the blonde and completely stopping her in midair, pressing her face between her ample exposed breasts. The blonde tried to struggle, but the bird woman was strong. "Let me go, you whore!" she was about to use the power of the suit to force the Harpy's arms open, but the Alien started spinning before she could do that. She then threw the girl at the transmission tower, her body denting the steel beam before she fell to the ground.

"YOU BITCHES! YOU GODDAMN BITCHEEEEEES!" the blonde yelled as she started shooting at the Alien Harpies with her Gib Rifle. She missed most of the shots since her targets were quick to dodge in midair, but she successfully killed a couple of them. Controller Roller and Sunset Shimmer soon joined them, shooting at the flying monster girls.

The three other males of the team were dropped in the biggest nest on the highest spot of the transmission tower, where three more Harpies were waiting for them. Those three were different from the others, though; they were nearly twice their size, their claws were much longer and sharper, each of them had a different hairstyle - one had long, crimson red hair, the other had a shoulder-lenght brown hair, and the last had short, spiky, vibrant blue hair - and they all wore a golden spiky armor. As soon as they locked eyes with their prey, the females smiled.

"Nope! I'm outta here." the young man said before crawling toward the edge of the nest. But he did not went far, as the Harpie with blue hair grabbed him by the ankle. He immediately stopped moving when he felt her claws pierce his skin and draw blood. She pulled him closer and grabbed his crotch area. He gulped. "I-I-I'm sorry for trying to escape. Pl-Please, don't do what I think you're going to do."

But contrary to his expectations, all she did was rip a hole in his trousers, exposing his genitals. Yelping in surprise, he tried crossing his legs to hide his shame, but she forced his legs open and shot him an icy glare, making him gulp again. Pleased with his cooperation, she crouched between his legs and pressed her tongue against his flaccid member.

"Wh-What the hell?" he mumbled, blushing profusely.

Her gentle touch was enough for him to become excited enough for the Harpy's purpose. Pleased with the erecton in front of her face, she stood up, removed her armor and straddled him, gently guiding him inside her vagina, chirping softly while doing so. Meanwhile, the crimson-haired Harpy gave the old man the same treatment, but with no results.

"Sorry, missy." the old man said. "The old pistol is jammed."

She got up with a frown and grabbed the elder by the neck, then throwing him off the nest and to his death. She then sat down with her arms crossed and started cheeping at the blue-haired Harpy, but all she did was let out a loud hawk-like scream mixed with a moan.

"I-I can't... I... I--" the young man tried to speak, but was silenced by the blue-haired Harpy's lips. That was all it took for him to stop trying to hold back and fill her alien womb with his human seed. She got up and sighed in bliss. "Wh-Whoa... That was--" he was silenced again, but not by having his mouth shut, but by her talons slitting his throat. She patted her belly with a smile on her face, happy because she was now ready to lay more eggs. But her happiness wasn't shared by her comrade with red hair, who started to chirp angrily at her for ruining her chance of getting impregnated with her own eggs.

While the other two were arguing, the third kept doing was she'd been doing all this time: angrily trying to rip a hole in the boy's black suit and claim her prize. During all this time, the blue-haired boy kept quiet, afraid that if he tried to do anything to the female in front of him, the others would attack. After all, he had dropped his Gib Rifle after one particularly risky stunt pulled by the Harpy that carried him there. But now that they were too busy to worry about them, he could finally act out his plan:

The boy activated his suit's superhuman strength and wrapped his legs around the brown-haired Harpy's torso, then used the enhanced strength of his arms to pull himself out of the nest, dragging the bird woman with him. While falling, he wrapped his hands around the winged brunette's neck and squeezed as hard as the suit allowed him. The snap noise followed by her body going limp brought a smile to his face before he finally landed on his back.

"Alright! One down, no pun intended, two to go." he said after getting up and dusting himself. While looking around he saw the body of the old man lying next to him; he had landed head first on the ground and his skull got cracked open. "If only he had a blue pill..."

"Keeeeeaaaaarrr!" he looked around and saw a flock of Harpies swarming one area.

"The fuck is going on there? They're handing over free bird seed?" he mumbled. He noticed that two of them got their heads blown off and realization hit him. "Ohhh. Yep, they're fucked!"

Sunset Shimmer was lying on top of Hope, who had lost her right forearm during the attack, trying to protect her with her own body. Pearl was lying on the grass in shock; Clap had been torn in half by two Harpy Aliens and she was covered in her best friend's blood, and to add insult to the injury - though not on purpose - the Harpies dropped both torn halves on top of her, forcing Pearl to stare deep into her dead friend's eyes. Controller Roller was still fighting, the blonde was hiding behind him because of her broken suit, but shooting at the Harpies every once in a while, but the redheaded girl was just trying to protect her face with her arms, so she kept getting hit by all the attacks until the Harpies managed to break her suit. She fell on the ground, right beside Sunset Shimmer.

"Just lie down, then won't--"

"Shut up, I don't want any advice from you!" the girl yelled, her glasses hanging from only one of her ears.

Sunset frowned. "Why are you so rude all the time?"

"Rude? Me, rude? Oh, look who's talking, Miss 'I'm Too Pretty And Important To Give A Fuck About Others'!"

"Wh-What?"

"Oh, so you don't remember? Fucking great! I wish I'd never have to see you again! Why'd you have to--" but the girl's unnecessary shouting were her demise, for they caught the attention of one of the Harpies, who sunk her talons on the girl's back, then pulling out her spine, some of her organs coming out with it. Her death was instantaneous, and so was the Harpy's, shot moments before by the blonde girl.

Roller and the girl were breathing heavily. Together they took care of all the Harpies, even though Roller did most of the killing since his suit still worked.

"Heads up, guys!" the blue-haired boy yelled as he ran toward the group. They looked up and saw two bigger Harpies chasing him, one with red hair and the other with blue hair, both of them wearing golden armor.

"Spread!" the blonde commanded, running to the left while the purple-haired boy ran to the right, the blue-haired boy walked ran past them, but Sunset stayed there, still protecting Hope and, by extension, Black Pearl. The two Harpies landed in front of her with their arms crossed. Sunset stood up and pointed her Gib Gun at them. The first Harpy slapped the gun away while the second Harpy kicked Sunset Shimmer, who to the ground. The blue-haired Harpy picked Hope up and hovered her claws above the little girl's stomach before her legs got blown off, shot by Roller who was hiding behind one of the steel beams of the transmission tower. The left shoulder of the other Harpy exploded soon after. Sunset Shimmer picked up her Gib Gun and repeatedly shot the fallen bird women.

"Don't!" she said as she pulled the trigger. "You!" another shot. "Touch!" another shot. "Hope!" shot. "Ever!" shot. "Again!" shot. The entire upper torso of the duo exploded, coating Sunset in alien bird blood. "She's my reponsibility."

Sunset Shimmer was the first to be transferred back to the Black Ball Room.

Author's Notes:

"L-Lewd..."

This mission is the proof you needed that I'm a Yu-Gi-Oh! maniac (even though my deck is not a Harpie Lady Deck)!
But fuck Synchro Summon, fuck Pendulum Summon and fuck the Forbidden & Limited List. Traditional Format FTW!

And judging by the votes, people like gore and people like sex, but have mixed feelings when the two are mixed together. Except sick bastards like me. Or you!
Well, it matters not! I'm not writing this to get popular, I just write fanfics to have fun. Heavy-duty fun, given the size of the script, but fun nonetheless.

Until next chapter, Hunters!
