Adagio Dazzle awoke quite abruptly to the bright summer sun shining straight into her eyes through the loft's rather large windows.

"Ugg, why doesn't anyone ever close the blinds on those!?" Adagio complained as she got-up and looked around, realizing she was still quite alone, none of her friends or family present, Sunset's bed up in the balcony area still untouched and most likely collecting dust at this point.

"Oh, that's right, i'm the only one here" Adagio sorrowfully sighed. "But again, it's probably for the best." She reassured herself looking down at the gemstone in her palm. "Some good you've turned out to be" she hissed with a scowl. Her pity party was promptly interrupted however when she heard a buzzing noise, it took her a second but she quickly realized someone was buzzing the loft from the front of the building, Adagio looked out the window and saw a rather surprising sight. There at the front of the building was Vinyl Scratch, just hitting the button over and over in a steady and rather annoying rhythm.

"Ugg, what in the seven seas could she want so early!?" Adagio huffed as she quickly ran to get dressed so she could answer the door.

A couple of minutes later as the buzzing sound still persisted Adagio, who was quite irritated at this point as she was not one who cared to be rushed opened the door and screeched "WHAT, WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT!!"

Vinyl Scratch just stared at the girl, her face looking quite stern, and though Adagio couldn't see through the DJ's thick glasses she felt it was safe to guess they were most likely seething with anger towards here. "You need to come with me, now" The snow-white skinned DJ sternly replied. Adagio was a bit taken back by this as vinyl was a woman of few words, so when she did speak-up you knew something was wrong.

"a-and why should I go anywhere with you!?" Adagio nervously stuttered in reply.

"You'll see when we get there, now c'mon before I lose my cool" The DJ bluntly responded.

Adagio just gulped and shook her head, she didn't know much about Vinyl, but if half of what little she had heard of the DJ's past from Octavia had been true at the very least she knew Ms. Scratch was not someone to be trifled with, so Adagio just followed the girl down the sidewalk and to the bus stop.

Adagio got off the bus grateful to finally be done with what had been the most tense ride of her entire life on one of the public transports as Vinyl Scratch had just set there in silence the entire time until they had gotten to their stop and the DJ had motioned for Adagio to get off. Adagio's relief however was short lived as she quickly saw where they were. "Canterlot City Memorial Hospital!?" Adagio nervously read the sign aloud. "W-what are we doing here!?" The siren panicked looking over at the DJ. "You'll see" Vinyl replied as she continued to walk forward into the building.

Inside the hospital Adagio grew more and more nervous by the second as the mysterious DJ remained silent merely leading her along to Neptune knows where to see Hades knows who in what would most likely be a horrific state! Adagio persisted however knowing that if she even attempted to make an escape that would most likely be the end of her. Soon however she was granted some small relief as Vinyl stopped in front of a door and knocked, a sad voice from the other side replying "Come in." Vinyl Scratch slowly opened the door and every fiber of Adagio's being was telling her to run the opposite way even though she knew she could not, when the door had been fully opened and the two girls had walked in Adagio couldn't help but gasp at the sight she saw. There lying unconscious in a hospital bed was her friend Octavia Melody who looked like she had been mauled by a Gorrila! Beaten-up and brused, a black eye and bandages on her head, standing next to her was Octavia's loyal maid and guardian Lilly white. "Oh Ms. Melody, please, please wake-up!" The woman sobbed staring down at her mistress.

"Wh-what is this, what, what happened to her!?" Adagio asked, the fear quite evident in her voice.

"You did" Vinyl growled looking over at the siren leader.

"M-me, w-what I-I don't understand!" Adagio stuttered rather confused by the answer.

"Octavia, she was hurt because of you, because you're her friend" Vinyl replied pulling something out from between her cleavage, Adagio noticing it was a piece of quickly and poorly folded paper. "I picked this up before the cops and medics came to help out Octaiva, gave it a look over, pretty clear it was for you" Vinyl scowled once again looking at the sorrowful siren as Adagio began to read the letter to herself.

"Sup Poofhead, if you're reading this I guess it means you got my letter, good! You know when you sent that little pig tailed runt to beat me up the other day it hurt pretty damn bad, so I decided it's only fair I return the favor, found out you were friends with ol Cello lover here, thought i'd use her as the first example, that's right this is just the beginning sweetheart, i'm gonna beat the ass of everyone and everything you ever cared about, and don't think I can't i'm a Indigo Fucking Zap baby, I can do anything!"

Adagio shook as she read the letter, how, how could Indigo have possibly known that she was friends with Octavia unless. "Th-the day I went to visit her, she-she saw me, or she was spying on me, or..." Adagio's mind raced trying to come up with an answer before Vinyl interrupted bringing her back out of her thoughts.

"Listen, if it was up to me i'd go beat that girl's ass myself, but I promised Octavia I wouldn't get into fights anymore, so-so you and your friends, your sisters whoever, you gotta fix this, whatever beef that crazy CPA chick has with you it doesn't make it right for her to take it out on my Tavi like that. So yea, you fix this or i'll fix you, got it!" Vinyl scolded as she removed her glasses and looked at Adagio with her menacing red eyes.

"Y-yes mam!" Adagio nervously replied with a bow, not wanting to dear bring upon the DJ's ire. "B-but you know I, I might need a little help with this, w-would it be OK if I borrow your phone to make a few calls?" Adagio nervously asked the DJ who just rolled her eyes but reluctantly agreed and handed Adagio her phone, the siren thanking her and doing her best to call as many of her friends as quickly as she could as she had no desire to drag things out with Viynl any further then she needed to.

Adagio waited at the front of the hospital as the automatic door swung open and Sunset and Twilight ran in, Applejack, Rarity & Fluttershy not to far behind.

"What is it!? What's wrong!?" Sunset asked in a panic unsure of what to expect given Adagio had merely called and shouted for her to quickly come to the Canterlot City Memorial Hospital before abruptly hanging-up.

Adagio looked at the nervous girl. "Calm down, i'm fine" Adagio reassured the group "But Octavia's not, she-she's been hurt and it's all my fault" Adagio sorrowfully confessed. The group looked at Adagio in shock and gasped, before they could ask why they heard a rather snooty voice proclaim "Well then, I guess hurting people is your specialty, isn't it Ms. Dazzle" The group looking back surprised to see Trixie Lulamoon standing there alongside a rather irritated looking Juniper Montage as well.

"And what the hay do yea mean by that!?" Applejack asked the pesky showgirl looking rather confused.

"Yea, i'd like to know that as well" A somewhat scratchy voice chimed-in as the group saw that Rainbow Dash had arrive with Pinkie Pie, Sonata Dusk and Aria Blaze in tow. "Aria here came over to Pinkie's and just spent hours crying into Sonata's chest" Rainbow Dash angrily exclaimed pointing over the two siren sisters Aria partially hiding behind Sonata. "Totally ruined Pinks and I's sleepover" Rainbow Huffed.

"OK, now I am terribly confused, what on Earth is going on here!?" Rarity dramatically exclaimed.

Adagio just let out an angry "ugg" sound. "That is what I am trying to explain!" She shrieked at the group. "Listen, OK, I got into a bit of a fight with my sister and my friends yesterday, but that's not why you are all here!" Adagio began, the group thankfully remainig quite this time. "The other day when Aria and I were saving Trixie's ass from getting beaten to a pulp by some Crystal Prep students one of them was some insane chick named Indigo Zap who said she used to be a Shadow Bolt and she blamed us at CHS for her school going down hill and her getting kicked off the team!" Adagio narrated as she took a deep breath "Only apparently Aria giving her a good beat down didn't do anything but make her even more mad because she found out I was friends with Octavia and beat the poor girl with in an inch of her life and her girlfriend Vinyl says if I don't fix this then basically my ass is grass as well!" Adagio finished as she wheezed to catch her breath.

"Oh my!" Fluttershy exclaimed.

"that was like a lot to take in, even for me!" Pinkie Pie bluntly replied.

"So let me get this straight" Applejack began rubbing her chin "You helped out Trixie and then in return the gal you saved her from beat-up yer friend, if yea ask me this all sounds like ol Ms. Lulamoon's fault!" AJ scowled looking over at the light blue-skinned girl.

"My fault! Trixie did nothing wrong, the only reason Trixie even tried to hire those CPA goons was because Rainbow Dash wouldn't stop picking on Trixie!" The silver haired teen whined.

"What the what!?" Rainbow Dash interjected. "Like, when have I ever picked on you!" Rainbow Dash asked in a huff.

"You do it all the time!" Trixie screeched at Dash.

"ugg, I do not! Tell her guys!" Rainbow Dash huffed looking over at her fellow Rainbooms.

"uh, well..." Pinkie Pie nervously chuckled

"You, you do go a bit overboard in how you react to Trixie's um, bombastic personality at times Rainbow." Fluttershy finished.

"Oh, c'mon, you've got to be kidding me, like she doesn't bring it on herself!" Rainbow huffed looking over at Trixie with a scowl, Trixie in turn scowling back.

"OK, everyone cool it, now is not the time for this!" Sunset scolded the rest of the group, pointing over to Adagio reminding them why they were there. Rainbow And Trixie just letting out low grunts as they continued to stare at each other, eventually agreeing to back-off.

"So, What- what do you think I should do!?" Adagio asked Sunset looking at her with pleading desperate eyes. Before Sunset could answer however AJ interuppted with her own solution. "I'll tell y'all what we should do, we needa go ta where ever that Zap bitch is an beat'er ass something fierce!" AJ angrilly huffed. "Yea can't mess with a fella CHS student and not expect retribution!" the angry cowgirl finished.

"Oh, please Applejack, that is disgustingly brutish, if we attack Ms. Zap we are no better then her!" Rarity interjected looking at Applejack with a rather disgusted face.

"Rarity's right." Sunset agreed "No matter how much we want to just team-up and beat down Indigo, doing that would make-us just as bad as her." Sunset sighed.

"Oh, th-then what do we do!?" Fluttershy nervously wondered.

"Hmm..." Adagio pondered scratching her cheek. "You know I think I might have an idea, but i'm going to need all of your help, especially yours." Adagio stated looking over at Twilight. The girls all just looked at Adagio still quite confused wondering what the siren's plan could be.

Indigo Zap set in the living room of her mansion enjoying relaxing in her dad's message chair when she heard a rather loud and annoying knocking on her door. "ugg, Bootstrap would you get that!?" Indigo moaned not wanting to get-up from her lazy comfort. Sadly there was no reply. "Oh, right-forgot I gave him the day off" Indigo whined as she slowly got out of the recliner and headed towards the front door. "what is it!?" Indigo angrily growled as she opened the door, to her surprise seeing a very familiar annoying silver haired girl. "You!" Indigo growled.

"Ah-y-yes me" Trixie shivered as she looked at the rather intimidating teen. "Trixie is here on behalf of Adagio Dazzle to issue you Ms. Indigo Zap a formal invitation to a duel!" Trixie boastfully announced handing Indigo a letter before giving her a nervous smile and dissapearing using one of her patented smoke bombs.

After Indigo finished coughing and wafting away the smoke she looked down at the envelope and opened the letter, smirking as she read.

"Meet me at Canterlot City Park at Sundown, we'll deal with this once and for all!"
-Adagio Dazzle

"So, ol Puffhead wants to cut straight to the point" Indigo chuckled "That works for me just fine" The light tan teen chuckled as she quite looked forward beating the 80's cartoon reject to a pulp.

Indigo arrived at Canterlot City Park as the sun began to set just as the letter had requested, she eventually found herself at the center of the part in-front of a large fountain, looking to her right she saw her target or targets. Sitting on a nearby bench was Adagio Dazzle to the girls right side set the small purple pig-tailed runt that had caused her so much pain the other day, and to her left someone Indigo didn't recognize a rather busty dark blue girl who was slightly taller then the light purple runt but obviously shorter then the leader in the middle.

"So, you got more balls then I thought poof head." Indigo mocked as she walked-up to the girls. "ready to fight?" Indigo asked staring at Adagio quite intensely.

Adagio slowly got up and smiled at Indigo "Oh, did you really think I would waste the time or energy fighting some ant like you just cause you had a little temper tantrum and took it out on one of my classmates!?" Adagio mocked, smiling playfully at Indigo.

"W-what!?" Indigo growled starring daggers at the siren leader.

"Honey, I guess it wasn't made clear the last time we met. I'm Adagio Dazzle, leader of the Dazzlings, if you don't know what a Dazzling is, my sisters and I, well we're sirens, magical creatures." Adagio explained as she held out her palm revealing the gemstone embedded in it. "In-fact my sisters and I are the last three of our tribe, possibly our kind, and that defacto makes me the Queen of the sirens!" Adagio continued her cocky act. "And a queen doesn't fight dragons, no, that's the job of her knights!" Adagio finished motioning for Aria and Sonata to join her, the two girls getting up and standing alongside their sister.

"So girls, what'll it be, which one of you wants to squish this ant!?" Adagio asked her sisters in a rather villainous tone.

"hehe, c'mon sis, do you even gotta ask!?" Aria chuckled as she cracked her knuckles and began to stretch her neck and shoulders back and fourth to lossen up.

"Hehe, yea, go Ari, show that bug who's boss!" Sonata cheered as Aria stepped forward.

Indigo just growled as she could feel the rage in her growing as she looked at her opponent. This Aria girl was just standing there mocking her making some cheesy battle ready pose, even her attire was different and quite obvious she had come here ready for a fight, her hair straight instead of in its usual pig tails, a simple green t-shirt and faded jeans, black and white Neighke tennis shoes and bandages wrapped around her hands and arms, yea, she obviously came here for a brawl, well the joke was on her Indigo told herself, because she never lost a fight.

"Hehe, fine, you wanna fight little mutt, i'll take yea on, but no cheating this time!" Indigo growled as she too got in a battle pose, which quite frankly looked a bit ridiculous given she was still in her CPA uniform.

"Don't worry your pretty little head goggles, I won't have to pony-up to beat your ass." Aria mocked, riling up Indigo even more causing the girl to let out another angry growl as she darted towards Aria ready to strike.

"DON'T YOU DARE PATRONIZE ME!!" Indigo scolded as she quickly let punch after punch fly towards her opponent, Aria to Indigo's dismay blocking each and every one.

"Ugggghhh!!" Indigo shouted as she picked up speed punching at the girl faster and harder, Aria still easily dodging the attacks until finally the short purple siren managed to grab Indigo's fist mid-punch and just held it there, squeezing down tightly. "Ugg, let, let me go you little brat!!" Indigo screeched looking down at Aria who still tightly clutched her fist. Aria just chuckling and looking up at the girl with a smile "Hehe, fine!" Aria replied as she lifted Indigo on the air with one arm and threw her down on the ground behind her, the girl hitting the cement with her back and screeching out in pain.

"No, no one come out yet!" Adagio commanded as she noticed the bushes behind her rustling. "I know this looks bad, but its not over yet, trust me, you'll know when it is, don't worry, this will work!" Adagio reassured who or whatever was rustling in the bushes behind her, meanwhile Sonata was just smiling enjoying the fight, cheering Aria on.

"H-how?" Indigo wheezed as she looked-up at Aria, pain wrecking through her body.

"Cause you're weak" Aria replied "You thrash and growl like some wild animal, you think acting intimidating will make you as strong as you think you are, but you're anger and fear hold you back" Aria bluntly stated looking down at the seemingly defeated girl.

Indigo just closed her eyes and growled, how dare this runt call her weak, how dare..... "UGG!" Indigo screeched as she moved up her leg and kicked Aria right in the face, Sonata gasping from the sidelines.

"Hehe, if i'm weak why is your face mud on my boot!" Indigo chuckled as she slowly removed her shoe from Aria's face only to shockingly fine the girl didn't have a scratch on her only a slight bit of dirt on her cheek.

"He, that actually kind of tickled." Aria joked as she wiped the dirt off her face.

"Wh-n-no that's not possible, y-you should be down on the ground crying like the baby you are!" Indigo shrieked as she got back up and prepared for round two.

"The only baby I see here is you." Aria replied with a grin.

Indigo just let out another low growl before running towards the girl again and began to whale Aria with another barrage of punches, this time the small but stout siren not even attempting to block. "Hehe, guess you realized you couldn't win after a..." Indigo attempted to gloat but as she did she noticed no matter how many of her punches made contact with the girl none seemed to phase her, Aria was just standing there, sturdy as stone, staring at her, smiling. Indigo couldn't believe what she was seeing so she continued to whale on the girl until she was nearly out of energy, her punches slowly turning int o light taps and then into exhausted slaps against Aria's t-shirt.

"h-how...w-why" Indigo huffed, quite exhausted at this point.

"I already told you, it's because you're weak." Aria bluntly replied looking down at the girl who was now down on her hands and knees panting.

"N-no I, I am a Zap...Zaps are perfection, I...everyday I..she..she made me...I.I made myself..I...I'm perfect!" Indigo wheezed.

"Well then your worlds version of perfection totally sucks." Aria bluntly replied as she began to turn around and walk away, giving her sisters a wink as she did.

"N-NO!" she heard Indigo's voice shout "I AM A ZAP! I AM PERFECTION!!!" Indigo screamed as the girl somehow managed to stand back-up, this time a a pitch black flame like aura forming around her. "I-AM A WINNER, I AM STRONG, I AM A SHADOWBOLT I AM PERFECTION!!!" Indigo screamed as the aura around her caused her light tan skin to turn dark brown, demonic wings sprouting from her back, black horns sprouting out of her head and her body growing easily by two feet.

"What the fuck!?" Aria asked in surprise as the now demonized Indigo jumped towards her.

"ARIA HURRY, PONY-UP NOW!!" Adagio shouted, quite worried about her sister due to this unexpected turn of events.

"SHIT!" Aria replied as she ducked and rolled to avoid the demons claws as they swiped at her, quickly heading her big sister's advice and activating the gemstone embedded in her palm causing her to pony up, cute ears appearing at the top of her head, her hair growing a bit in length and clear green fin like wings appearing on her back. "Hehe, maybe this'll be a fun fight after all" Aria chuckled as she looked at the enraged creature formally known as Indigo Zap, smoke fuming out its nostrils, it's eyes pitch black, making deep throated growls and snarls as it stared Aria down before giving out a otherworldly high pitched shriek and flying full force towards Aria. "OK BITCH LET'S SEE WHAT YOU GOT!" Aria cheered as she powered-up her fist as much as she could the two girl ramming each other full force causing a small explosion in the air up above the fountain.

"ARIA!" Adagio and Sonata screamed worried there sister may have actually been hurt. Thankfully as the dust settled they could see that was not the case as Aria merely floated there in-front of the Demonic Indigo smiling triumphantly as the demon appeared to be writhing in pain, cracks slowly forming through its body, all it could manage to mutter was.... "How!?" as it began to fall and hit the ground with a hard thud making a rather sizable hole in the cement with cracks in the ground around it. Aria slowly levitating down seeing that the demonic form had faded and the black aura was dissipating into the wind as an unconscious Indigo Zap lay in the middle of the crater.

"OK everyone it's over, you can come out now" Adagio told the her hidden friends.

Indigo Zap felt only pain rush through her body as she heard what sounded miles away something, someone calling her name. "Hey, Hey Wake-Up you idiot! No one gave you permission to die!" With that Indigo opened her eyes and to her surprise she saw her old friends the rest of the Shadowbolts standing around her above the crater. "Oh thank God she's still alive!" Sour Sweet sighed in relief as she tightly squeezed Sunny Flare's arm "Yes darling, we our quite lucky our dear indigo is so reseliant!" Sunny chuckled. "W-we were worried about yea Zap!" Lemon Zest cried as she wiped the tears from here eyes.

"Wh-what are you all doing here?" Indigo rasped looking-up at the group with her eyes alone as she was still quite sore and unable to move. "Well Twilight told us you had gone bat-shit crazy and that they need our help, so here we are, looks like they were right" Sugarcoat bluntly stated pointing over to Twilight who also was once again in her old CPA Uniform.

"Hmph, Traitor!" Indigo growled looking at Twilight with malice.

"Hey, chill Indigo, Twilight didn't do anything wrong!" Soursweet scolded "She was the one who told us what was up and we came here because we were worried about you!" The leader of the Shadowbolts proclaimed.

"I know you and I never got along when I was at CPA Indigo, but that doesn't mean I wasn't your friend" Twilight began "The Shadowbolt's all really care about you, when they heard what had happened they rushed over to see how they could help us, help you" Twilight softly smiled looking down at the worse for wear athlete.

"Pfft, so what, beating my ass and showing me my ex-friends who kicked me out of the Shadowbolts is supposed to help me!" Indigo growled at Twilight.

"We never kicked you out, we only put you on probation!" Soursweet exclaimed. "You could've come back anytime you wanted after the two weeks were up!" she explained as she crossed her arms.

"I-I what!?" Indgio asked dumbfounded

"Yea Zap, we wouldn't dare kick the schools best athlete, and our best friend out of the bolts for good!" Lemon Zest exclaimed. "And yea know, I, er we really missed you" The cherry skinned girl blushed as she fiddled with her lime-green hair.

"Yes, we waited for you to cool off so we could resume our group activities together but anytime one of us even tried to get near you, well you gave us a look like an angry bear about to maul someone" Sugarcoat bluntly finished.

"Y-you mean all-all this time, I-I...." Indigo began as she started to sob.

"All this time you could have been spending it with your friends instead of sulking alone and letting your hatred consume you." Twilight finished as she walked down into the crater and took Indigo's hand, helping the weakened girl back up, the rest of the Shadowbolt's doing the same as the surrounded the sobbing Indigo and moved in for a group hug. The usually prideful and stubborn athlete continuing to let the water works pour as she continued to sob and repeatedly stated how sorry she was as she begged for her friends forgiveness.

"Wow, that's pretty impressive, how'd you know she was possessed by rouge Equestrian magic!?" Sunset asked Adagio, giving a curious grin.

"Truth be told I had no idea." Adagio chuckled as she looked over at Sunset and then back to her sisters. "Well, that's one problem settled, now time to deal with everything else I suppose." Adagio sighed under her breath as she looked back at the rest of her friends, The Rainbooms, Trixie and Juniper. She may have finally settled things with Indigo Zap, but the drama that was her life was far from over, oh well, one step at a time, one step at a time. Adagio smiled as she attempted to mentally reassure herself.

Author's Notes:

Well, that's one problem down, and just three to go, or three and a half I guess, Adagio still has to go tell Vinyl they settled things with Indigo so the DJ doesn't beat our poor Siren up on Octavia's behalf.

Also should we be worried that some of the rouge magic from Equestria seems to be dark magic!? Ehh...i'm sure it'll be fine.....maybe.

Anywho thanks for the continued support and thanks for reading, come back next chapter for a much more relaxed and hopefully shorter chapter as Adagio tries to sort out her feelings and mend her relationships with her friends and sisters!
