"Just look at you, ha ha ha, when I saw those morons dropping someone on the ground but you were the last person I could imagine, but here you are, fine and well apparently, this world must be smaller that I thought, or... are you following me?". In a sudden motion Adagio picked Aria up like nothing lifting the other girl of her feet.

"Nnnno! You are the last person I want to bump into I swear!".

Adagio saw her with doubt then she took a closer look and brought her face closer to hers, after looking into her eyes for what felt like decades Adagio smiled and dropped Aria again.

"Ha ha ha, you haven't change one bit after those past years, you're still a pussy who babbles the true when she's afraid, even so... You know I'm here so I cannot let you loose Aria". Her grin became even more macabre as she explained her only options.

"One, I can let you to Muss here and he'll put you to work in the diamond mines from down to dusk until you can no more, two I can let Bark have you and he'll suck any trace of love you have in you until you are as dry as sand, although I doubt you have any love inside of you but meh, changeling have to eat something too, and three and my personal favorite... I destroy you right here". As to prove her point Adagio charged her hand with her red magic, Aria felt every single hair in her body stand up, this was insane, the amount of magic she was absorbing was even higher that when the three sirens joined in the attack against the Rainbooms.

"Chose wisely Aria". Adagio told her almost in a whisper, Aria gulped knowing pretty well that no matter what she chose, she was doomed.

Inside the Dreamscape the Tantabus continued with its hunt, soaring in and out of dreams and finding its kind for the Tantabus knew and felt the source of their creation, the night Princess Luna.

Despite that he knew that unlike them he was created with thoughts and more deep purpose, it wasn't a mindless drone like the bunch he was destroying, still, the mission let it feel both proud and sad, contrary feelings that pushed the boundaries of it limited consciousness.

Never the less, it had a mission to carry for its mistress and it would succeed no matter what.
_____________________________________________________________________
Sunset entered the sphere of the bubbly Pinkie, the inside looked like a replica of CHS and it was full of people however they all were faceless except for their mouths and eyebrows that showed angry scowls and only grunts could be heard from them.

Sunset walked among the mass of people looking for her puffy friend, it didn't took long as Sunset found her been yelled at by some of the faceless students.

"Pinkie! Its me Pinkie I coming".

Pinkie saw her approach and instead of running toward her like Sunset expected Pinkie ran the in the opposing direction with panic printed in her face.

"Pinkie? Pinkie where are you going?! Dammit". Sunset started the pursuit of Pinkie zig zagging between the generic students before remembering that they were nothing but constructions of her friend subconscious and barreled through them rather that avoid them, after taking a corner she walked into a dead end.

"This can't be, I was sure I have her". When Sunset returned she found herself surrounded by a barricade of students, the grunting noises turned into growls and huffs, among them Sunset could heard a distinctive sob.

"Pinkie!" I'm... ugh I'm coming, get out of my way!". Sunset pushed her way toward her friend finally finding her inside one of the classrooms surrounded by 6 students, while they looked like the rest, missing everything except for their mouths and eyebrows those have the distinctive features of the rest of the Rainbooms Sunset included.

"Im sorry I'm not funny enough, just please don't leave me!".

"Pinkie?".

A crying Pinkie sobbed and tried to do something silly in her typical fashion but the incomplete Rainbooms didn't like it and growled louder and left the pink haired girl alone.

Seen the fakes leave Pinkie broke down and kneel in the floor, Sunset kneel next to her and put her hand over hers.

"Pinkie? What's going on?".

"I... Failed, I tried to keep you happy, to make you laugh so that you wouldn't leave me alone but... My jokes, my antics, everything I did didn't work at the end".

"Pinkie... You think we only laughed because you were funny?".
Pinkie nodded sadly but was quickly hugged by Sunset.

"You silly girl, we laughed because you were doing us happy by been you Pinkie, your wish is to make people happy and that is what you have giving us, we don't have a single dull moment thanks to you and that in turn makes you happy, the fact that we are taking different paths has nothing to do with you Pinkie, trust me".

"You... you really mean it, pinkie promise?".

"Pinkie promise and no one brakes...".

"A pinkie promise!".

The girls hugged one more time and Pinkie transformed in her pony form like Twilight before.

"Now go pinkie, this city, the school, all of us need laughs in our lives and who better to deliver them that Pinkamina Diane Pie!".

As pinkie started floating and her nightmare turned as well Pinkie did a sour face. "I should had never told you girls my real name, well no matter, I took a pick at a naked Big Mac one time so... We're even".

"What?! You... You're joking? You're joking right?".

"See ya later in the real but still fictional world Sunny!".

"You were kidding right? PINKIE!". Sunset banished but not before witnessing another tantanite been destroyed by the Tantabus.
_____________________________________________________________________

Adagio's mad smile was temporarily shattered, her hands quickly moving to remove her cloak revealing a blue gem attached to her neck which shine dwindled for a few seconds, her face changed from the overconfident one she had to one of worry.

"Boss?". Asked Muss seen no reaction from their leader.

"I... I need to take care of something, you two! Hug tie her and take her you know where, I'll deal with you when I come back Aria". Adagio put back her cloak and left around one of the many paths of the park leaving Aria with her two original captors, while her situation wasn't any less dangerous, she still was better off with those bastards that with that witch.

"What to do with mare?". Asked Muss to his companion.

"I say we take a little 'piece' of her sssss".

"He-hey now, didn't Adagio said to take me somewhere safely?". Aria tried to buy some time while she thought of a way to escape, slowly she stood up and started charging magic in her hand which she kept hidden behind her back.

"Take you? Yesss, safely? No ha ha". The changeling turned human took a step forward and that's when Aria launched her attack, a fast magic blast to the ground right in front of the two equestrians send chunks of dirt and gravel into their faces forcing them to shield their eyes giving her enough time for her next move, taking a deep breath Aria realized a banshee like scream with enough force to throw the would be captors off their feet and several meters away, as soon as she finished Aria spun around and sprinted toward the opposing direction from where Adagio disappeared hoping that she would make it alive.
_____________________________________________________________________
Touching the next sphere belonging to Fluttershy, Sunset dived into her nightmare and landed in what looked like a garden full of roses of different colors and sizes, the only feature that the roses shared were its thorny bushes.

"Fluttershy?! Fluttershy it's me Sunset! Where are you!?". Finding no answer Sunset moved deeper into the garden, she found a little road and followed, soon she came to a clearing and started shouting again. " Fluttershy! If you can heard me answer me please!",

"Like you would listen, uh".

"Flu-Fluttershy?".

From a pile of bushes walked out Fluttershy, she was clothed like Sunset had never seen her, all in black and with matching mascara and lipstick, her face was set in a scowl with and extra of sarcasm.

"Stop yelling, what do you want?".

"It's that you Fluttershy?".

"Dah? Of course is me you moron who else".

"Somehow I don't believe you".

"Oh, just because I don't act all meek and weak like a cry baby you think I'm a fake? And here I thought you were smarter that the hillbilly or the Rainbow clown".

"What? Why are you talking like this and where is the real Fluttershy!".

"And I told you already that I am Fluttershy, although I may not control her outer actions I control her inner ones, all the fear and frustration, the hard emotions she denies in the surface are what makes me exist inside her".

"So you are a part of her?".

"Bingo, right now my 'other' half is crying no surprise there, because you all are acting like idiots going about your silly little problems ignoring that at the core of your so precious friendship you forgot that bottling things inside for fear of what the others would say denies you the chance of helping them, even if you make them feel bad at the end when they don't manage shit is all your fault too, and that's what this dummy needs to learn". Fluttershy told Sunset while sticking her thumb in her own chest.

"You... You are absolutely right! All this started because I was afraid of how you guys would react if you knew I was dating Mac, and front there each of us kept hiding and hiding stuff without really talking".

"Damn right I'm! Wait... Re-really? You don't think I'm awful for the things I said?".

"A little bit dicky but you are doing it out of concern for us, you Fluttershy represent kindness but not all kindness need to be soft, is just like those roses, they may be soft and beautiful but the thorns are also part of what make them".

"I... I-". Fluttershy started to shine and then transformed to her original self with her pony ears and wings.

"I... I'm back?".

"You never left Flutters, if you feel lile you need to go rough on us to help us never doubt that you aren't you, we are friends always no matter where we are".

"Thanks Sunset, I won't deny myself anymore and... I'll try to cry less, next time, maybe, no promises".

"Don't worry friend, now go and rest, we'll talk tomorrow".

"Would we remember this tomorrow?" Fluttershy asked Sunset as both girls started to fade from the sphere.

"I don't know, why?". Asked Sunset watching as another tantanite was destroyed.

Fluttershy played with her hair nervously before telling to Sunset.
"I may have accidentally hm... Seen Big Mac naked, bu-but it wasn't on purpose I swear please don't be mad!".

"You what?". Sunset faded completely and reappeared back in the Dreamscape, Fluttershy's sphere turned normal again and floated back to the sky of dreams leaving only Rainbow's to take care of.
_____________________________________________________________________
Applejack almost fainted but at last she made it to the Regal sister's house, however her relief transformed in dread when she saw the unmistakable car parked in the driveway, Sunset was here, Sunset once again had stomped in her plans and turn them upside down, she had enough, if her so called friend so much wanted to interpose her present at every turn then maybe she wouldn't mind doing it with a few broken bones.

Applejack moved to the doorway and slammed her fist in the wooden door five times to make herself know, each hit carried more force that the former one.

Applejack waited for the door to open but instead she heard a window sliding open overhead."Holy shit! Applejack? What was that noise just now!".

"Where is she? Tell her to come out?".

"Wait wait, it was you? What's up with you girl?".

"I know Sunset had been sleeping with mah brother and I want a little explanation from mah good friend!". Perhaps it was the form in how Applejack's eyes twitched when she said 'friend' or the way she did her knuckles crack but Luna had a bad feeling growing in her stomach.

"She can't come out right now! She's helping her friends, you included and shouldn't you be in bed right now?".

"Stop askin questions and tell that slippery snake of a friend to come out!".

Luna breathed hard and answered back. "Do not talk to me like that young lady! This is my house and I chose who I let in or out and right now she's staying here and you are staying there you hear me!".

"That so? Too bad her car is outside yer house then!".

"Shit! Applejack just calm down will you, if you promise to behave and that you'll take a good nap first then I will let you talk with Sunset, how does that sound?".

"Sound ta me like manure, I'll give ya 10 minutes and if she's not here when the time is up I'll crush her car, got it".

"Why you little... ugh!". Luna went back inside wondering what to do, Applejack looked out of her freaking mind and if the lack of sleep was as bad as it looked then she wouldn't be calming down any time before Sunset finished her mission, calling the cops was out of the question, as crazy as Applejack was right now the last thing she wanted was to get her arrested, stopping her was not an option, the farmer girl was easily as strong as 10 men, calling Big Mac to stop her was useless, he was too far to make it in time.

"Think Luna think!". What could she do? The only thing that could possibly stop Applejack was her love for her family but there wasn't any Apple nearby... Or was it?.

"Ok Luna, time to pull the dickest move ever and hope it works". Either way, Luna knew she was going to get her ass kicked.
_____________________________________________________________________
Adagio arrived at the warehouse she and her two pawns had been using as base for her plan, she immediately removed her cloak leaving her only in a tight leather dress with leather gloves that reached all the way to her elbows and long leather boots, everything in black, the only contrast to her outfit was the blue stone she carried around her neck, which shine continued to fade little by little, the vapor or negative energy was fading as well indicating that the humans weren't suffering anymore nightmares.

In other words someone was interfering with her revenge and Adagio wouldn't stood idle, creating a batch of tentanites obedient to her and realise them over the population of this forsaken town was a brilliant plan even if Adagio herself didn't came up with it.

She was provided with the tools for her revenge to have all negative energy produced by the tantanite's nightmares send directly to her, the fact that the cursed Rainbooms were infected as well was a nice bonus for their bickering provided her with more equestrian magic that she originally had.

Still the plan had it risks but Aria been her wasn't one of them and now something or someone was interfering with her feeding and she needed to stop it.

Finding her bed Adagio rested over it in the most comfortable position possible and started to snooze out in order to enter the Dreamscape and find the interloper and destroy it, then she could go back and think what to do with the little traitor.
_____________________________________________________________________
Aria's wild run turned now into a mere walk as her legs lost all strength with the possibility of letting her collapse at any moment, she was afraid of turning around and find the two equestrians right behind her.

"Why the fuck... there isn't anyone on the streets... right now..". Aria asked herself in ragged breaths, at the turn of a corner Aria saw a truck passing slowly through the street and that give her a boost of hope, tumbling she tried to reach the vehicle and ask for a ride to get away, the truck was taking speed and Aria cursed, fear possessed her and she yelled to get the attention of the driver but her mouth was blocked by a hand and her scream end up short.

"Stupid mare! You did my ears bleed sssshhh". Aria didn't need to turn around to know who it was, she tried to fight free but her body wasn't much for close quarters fights, in desperation she took a bite at the hand of her captor forcing him to loose his grip.

"HELP!".

Her yell for help was silenced once again as Bark grabbed her by the hair and pulled her down to the floor, in her fall Aria saw the truck coming to a stop and her heart almost stopped hoping she was heard.

"Muss go and get rid of that human! I'll deal with this bitch".

"Ha ha Muss will have fun". The diamond dog turned human left to crush the poor bastard and Aria's only chance of salvation.

"I will enjoy sucking the love at out of you".

"Good look... Bugface... Adagio... was right... there's no love in... Me".

"Oh but my nose say otherwise". Bark open his mouth to reveal a serpentine like tongue and fangs but before he could feast in his victim a body fell near them, Burk didn't paid much attention first but an unknown voice make him turn up.

"Ya got 3 seconds ta get off the lady".

"Uh?". Bark saw a tall human with blonde hair instead of his fellow equestrian.

"One".

"What?!" Bark saw his friend down on the floor spotting a black swelling eye and a broken nose.

"Two".

"What did you do to huagggh-!". Bark was silenced for good when a good planted kick rocked his head dropping him to the floor like a puppet with his lines cut.

"Three". After taking care of the changeling/ human, Macintosh Apple helped Aria to her feet and guide her to his truck.

"You ok Miss Blaze? Need me ta take ya to the clinic or somethin?". Big Mac asked her went they were in the move.

"I... I... Will you... Will you mind if I-". Mac didn't need her to finish and wrapped his arm around the girl who immediately started crying and shaking. "I'll take ye with Cheerilee, helps me cover more ground".

Aria nodded weakly, her sobs turning a little less forced hearing the name of her roommate, some part of her mind was still shocked for what just happened but another one clouded her mind even more, the comment of Bark saying she did have love inside her.
_____________________________________________________________________
Luna opened the door and confronted Applejack, she was standing next to Sunset's car resting, her eyes were red and she had huge black bags under them, she had been crying no doubt.

When she her approaching Applejack jumped to action at once.
"Alright then... Where is she? Ain't she coming outside?".

"Applejack have some reason, you're tired, look at you, you need to rest".

"I... I don wanna, ya can't make me!"

"Applejack what's wrong? This isn't you, this isn't the good girl Bright and Pearbutter rised, tell me what's wrong so I can help you".

Fear and shame gripped Applejack's heart, the part of her mind that was still rational told her that she was making an ass of herself for her petty motives, but the part numbed by exhaustion and disappointment demanded that her friend paid for her crime of getting mixed with her family and the later won over the former.

"Don make me repeat mah self, tell her to come out NOW!".

"Applejack! You can't fight with Sunset, you can even make her angry at this moment!".

"And just why the heck no?".

"Because... be-because... She's carrying Big Mac's baby!".

"...".

"Ye-yeah hmm she's.. pregnant with your niece of nephew".

"Whu- wut?". Applejack's brain derailed completely hearing Luna's excuse, inside her mind two ideas started to block each other like a pair of longhorns that wanted to show dominance, Applejack wanted to hurt Sunset for messing with her family but now inside her there was an Apple making her an Apple as well.

"I... I... Wut am... mah head hurt". Applejack said at the end holding her head with a hand while using the other one to find something to hold on to as her knees and legs were now mush.

"You... You want to take a seat... inside maybe?".

"Yeah... yeah, ha think that... ah need to lay low for... a bit". Slowly Luna took the Apple girl inside her house and left her resting over her couch, soon Applejack was snoring like a rhino in a summer night.

"Oh Luna... You're gonna get 'F in the 'A' for real this time, maybe ain't so late to make my will". Luna told herself while going back to check on Sunset.
_____________________________________________________________________
Another drop in the amount of negative energy and magic indicated Adagio that more of her tentanies had been destroyed, she have no doubt now and she was sure that this wasn't just an accident, the tantanites she was using had been modified to last longer and to reproduce faster that the old ones Nightmare Moon created so long ago, but they were just as vulnerable.

Landing in the Dreamscape Adagio looked for the cause her irritation, she needed to deal with this fast so she can go back and deal with her former lackey, while Aria wasn't much of a problem by herself she may still cause a ruckus that could attract the annoying Rainbooms, although Adagio was sure she was more powerful that them now she didn't wanted to take any chances.

She located the dream of an old man still afflicted with one of her toys and decided to wait for the interloper, she entered the nightmare and blended in the background silently waiting.

It did took a little time but at last it appeared, a shadow unicorn entered the dream of the geezer and with its horn pulled the tantanite away from the dream and a magic slash cut it in two, the creature realised the magic that created it and disappeared like smoke, the shadow unicorn opened a portal to exit and Adagio used that opportunity to strike at its back.

It was a quick attack and accurate hitting its target in the back of the head, the portal got disrupted and the creature stumbled.

"I don't know what you are or who send you, but no one mess with my revenge, now... Begone". Adagio let loose another blast but the Tantabus blocked and countered with one of its own, Adagio caught it in a barrier but the blast pushed her back and cracked her shield, the thing was strong!.

Adagio and the Tantabus locked eyes, measuring one another, Adagio considered transform and attack at her full power, but chose a better solution, taking a deep breath she started singing a low melody, the Tantabus was confused for a moment but regained its focus, this girl wasn't one of it allies obviously but why singing?.

It answer came soon when it felt its energy been zapped, whatever that song was it disrupted magic from its target, the Siren continued singing and was glad her strategy was working, with its magic blocked the creature would starve and die without the need of much struggle.

The Tantabus knew it was in danger and if things continued like this it would be its end, recalling that it wasn't alone in this fight the shadow horse send an alarm neigh for help and hoped it would be heard.
_____________________________________________________________________
Sunset touched down on Rainbow's personal nightmare, it was inside a locker room belonging to the Cloudsdale female soccer club make obvious for the banners, uniforms and panties thrown all around.

Sunset heard a commotion coming from the showers and she moved toward it, as she entered she felt her cheeks turn hot and covered her eyes at the sight of the entire team been dressed in their birthday suits. Sunset was used to female nudity, mostly in the form of Pinkie's crazy games involving stripping as punishment and Rarity in her desire to make dresses for her friends but never before did Sunset witnessed so many butts and boobs at the open and did that girl have a piercing in her... 'Nevermind' thought Sunset.

The team chatted away casually not paying attention to the magical pony girl blushing in the middle, then the conversation turned to Rainbow. "- and she failed the shot even though I was open, can you believe it?". One of the naked chicks told told to the rest.

"Ha! That's nothing, remember the time I Spitfire give her that impossible pass and she scored with a headbutt! Did she thank her? Curse not, why share the glory? I'll tell you why, because she's Rainbow 'fuck you' Dash that's why!". At the joke all girls started laughing, more insults where thrown on for good measure.

"I mean why are we surprised, we're talking about the girl that left her friends behind just so she could play in our team, I'm sick of hearing 'oh dear Fluttershy? Do you still hate me for abandoning you?' ha ha so pathetic!".

"Yeah Spitfire! Why do we have to play with such a traitor, if her loyalty run so shallow who say she's not gonna veil on us the moment another school offers her a better deal!".

All the naked girls nodded their agreement to the one called Spitfire.

"You know how this work, we have no control over what the coach say so just fly with it for a bit more, who knows... maybe if we're lucky she'll get an injury and stay out for a while".

"Yeah! That would be the best". After taking their towels and dry themselves the entire team left the showers, only now with all the noise gone did Sunset her the unmistakable sobs of Rainbow who was hiding in the only shower cube that had the curtain on.

Rainbow walked out naked hugging herself with red eyes and snot hanging form her nose. "Rainbow?".

The girl in question went limp as she found herself been seeing by her friend. "Su-Sunset? I'm...am I having that dream again? But where's Fluttershy and the donkey?".

"A what now?".

"No-nothing!".

"Aaanyway! Rainbow... I'm here to apologize for keeping my thing with Mac a secret and to let you know that if you feel like you need something to say no matter how embarrassing or painful it is... we are ready to hear you out".

"Yeah? I somehow don't think you guys are gonna trust me after keeping my transfer a secret specially Fluttershy".

"Well she's pretty upset but she had her own fear of not expressing what she really feels, you should talked out before more time past, take it from Me, just look how much that caused troubles with Applejack".

"Yeah, you kinda blow it on that one".

"In my defence you and Rarity almost drove me crazy making jokes at his expense".

"Dick move I know but don't worry I'll stop and... If you need I'll help you out with AJ when the time comes".

"And that's why you are the element of loyalty".

"You bet! Because I'm the most loyal right?".

"No, because no one do more bets that you Dash!". Sunset said with a smirk.

"You know what forget that help I told ya about".

"Don't worry Rainbow and thanks, you are an awesome friend and loyal to the bone, don't you forget it".

Rainbow and Sunset tried to bug but remembering that Rainbow was still in her skin suit the two girls settled for an old classic high five after which Rainbow transformed but unlike previously Sunset didn't saw the tantanite been deal with.

As both Rainbooms started to fade out of the dream Sunset turned to Rainbow one more time.

"So Dash, a donkey uh".

"Shut up! Besides! You aren't the first one to peak at Big Mac naked!". Rainbow said with a smug smile.

"Seriously!". Sunset grimaced by the news once more.

After banishing and reappearing in the Dreamscape Sunset was glad she got to help 4 of her friends, she then was more glad and surprise when she found Applejack's sphere present, thinking that this was the best moment to deal with her once and for all she reached out, however a certain sensation stopped her, she waited to see if she didn't imagined the feeling, a cry for help and then felt it again, the Tantabus, the Tantabus was under attack and requested her help. A new sphere floated to her and Sunset saw though it. The dream belong to an old man that Sunset did know as her boss Mr Scroll but what really caused her to gasp was who Sunset saw harming the Tantabus, the former leader and singer of the Dazzles, Adagio Dazzle.
_____________________________________________________________________
Adagio kept up her song and her opponent was now in its last leg, after dealing with the dark pony she needed to find out where it came from to make sure there were no more of it kind.

When the creature felt to it knees Adagio was now sure of her victory but fate did not let it be, a magic blast sucked her face causing her to stagger and drop her song, the pause was enough for the Tantabus to make it escape to recover, before Adagio even knew what was going on a second blast hit her in the guts, a third one was in it way to her chest but Adagio deflected the blast with a magic hand.

"Who dares interrupt me!".

"Hey fish girl! Did you like it the last time we kicked your ass so much that you came for seconds?".

"Shimmer! First Aria and now you! You bitches like to shown up one after another, you think I haven't forget the humiliation you caused me last time? Ha ha now look at you, you get fancy clothes and a stupid hairdo and now you think you are at my level?".

"Don't think so, I'm sure of it".

"Well well, someone is getting cocky, but coming to face me here alone will be your last mistake loser!".

Adagio charged forward, hands glowing with red negative energy while Sunset kept her ber distance flying around the siren, Sunset send a triple salvo of magic blasts toward Adagio but she dodged all three and started catching up, remembering her fight with Starlight Sunset charged her right hand with magic and send another few weaker shots at Adagio to keep her off her,

When Adagio was at the right distance Sunset send another shot to distract her, it worked as Adagio blocked with one hand and send a counter with the other one leaving her back completely exposed, in that instant Sunset teleported behind her and send the magic ray catching her square in the neck.

Adagio's scream was the proof of her success, the siren cursed as she fell to the bottom of the dream, she managed to land with limited effort but one of her hands remained in the spot were she was struck.

"YOU... YOU BITCH! YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS!". Adaigo took aim and in the same way that she trapped the Tantabus now she would do it with the rainboom.

Her scream traveled fast hitting Sunset all around and disrupting her magic, Sunset felt hammers hitting her head constantly even when her hands were blocking her ears she still could heard the scream filled with murderous hatred, in a last effort to break free she charged what little magic she could and shot at Adagio.

The blast merely hit it target but it was enough, Adagio stopped her banshee scream but Sunset magical form dissolved at the same time, Sunset fell to the floor completely vulnerable.

"How the mighty have fallen, it's that all you got, right Shimmer?".

"Fuck...you!".

"Oh, you still have enough strength to curse? Good good! You know? I can get rid of you here and now". Adagio charged both hands with magic and stepped back to unleashed over the weakened Sunset. " But, I know someone who would be thrilled to see you again".

"What... are you... talking about". Sunset tried to summon another bit of magic but before she could a hard kick to the face broke the chance, Adagio then touched her unconscious opponent with her magic and her body turned in the shape of a sphere, then she opened a other portal and stepped right through with her captive right behind.
_____________________________________________________________________
As Big Mac explained to Cheerilee how he found Aria he felt a cold hand gripping his heart, his connection with Sunset was cut like a line been unplug, Cheerilee saw his sudden change and worried ask him what was going on but Mac couldn't produce words, with no further warning he left the unconscious Aria in the care of her roommate while Mac took out his phone and called Luna.

"Big Mac! I was abo_!".

"Where's Sunset? How she right now?".

It took Luna a few second to steel her voice. "I was watching her when Applejack show up, when I went back to check on Sunset she was... She was trashing around in bed, Mac... I'm sorry she's... I don't know, she won't wake up and she's cold, I thin-".

Mac cut the call at once, his heart couldn't take more right now, first he'll check on her and find out what happened, then he would make whoever or whatever hurt her pay, with blood and bones if necessary.
_____________________________________________________________________
Adagio used her gem to tune the mirror at the right frequency allowing her to create a small window to Equestria. As the surface cleared from the fog a familiar face showed up slightly covered by a dark hood, the image was both annoying and frightening to Adagio, despite having close to one year working with... for her Adagio still felt discomfort see her.

"I hope you have important news, Celestia or her apprentice could track this spell to me". The pony in the other side of the mirror told Adagio, Adagio cringing at the voice.

"I.. I know but I needed to inform you of the situation".

"Speak then". The pony's eyes changed from their natural cyan color to red for a second there.

"Is... Everything ok? Your eyes just chan-".

"Nothing of you concern! Just an after effect of using the Alicorn talisman, it will take some time before my body adjust to it, continue!".

"Ye-yes... I... I was found out by one of my former partners, Aria Blaze, she was snooping arou-".

"Stop right there Adagio, just tell me... has she been dealt with?".

Adagio gulped visibly, the pony in the mirror knew she was afraid of her so she didn't felt bad for showing weakness, even so it didn't seat well with Adagio who was use to command, not been trampled. "She escaped with help".

"The unicorn mare's eyes turned red again. "Bu-but don't worry, I'll make sure she stay quiet, apart from that I found a weird creature killing the tantanites, I manage to stop it but before I could destroy it for good I was interrupted".

"A creature that could destroy the tantanites? Interesting... and who interrupted you, if you are going to tell me that you faile-".

"No! I... I think your gonna like this". Adagio summoned a small.sphere showing the unconscious soul of Sunset Shimmer in it.

The pony saw her and a smile appeared in her face, small at first but it grew as it was accompanied by a laugh that send chills down Adagio's spine, the movement removed her cloak revealing a crimson and blonde mane.

"Don't tell me that you expected me to forget your shortcomings by showing 'her' to me, I'm far from caring what happen to my pony double, 'that' Sunset Shimmer is all your problem, but... she can be used to bargain with Celestia so I'll let you out of the hook for now... But listen carefully Adagio... fail me, betray me, or try to run away and what I did to the other siren will be nothing compared to what you'll get... Am I clear... Adagio?".

"Y... Ye... Yes".

"I didn't heard you".

"Ye-yes!". Adagio had by this point a lump almost blocking her throat.

"Yes what?".

"Yes... Abigail!".

"Better... Much better".

Took a tiny bit of inspiration from one of my favorite novels Legacy of the force Sacrifice, where Jacen Solo kills Luke's wife Mara Jade, if you like Star wars for real I recommended it a million times, way better that that bullshit Disney calls cannon now, Screw you Mouse! Screw you!.

To everyone who put up with this story and my grammar error an infinite thank you! You guys rock, I'll stop the story in the next chapter to write a couple of new stories but I'll be back when I'm done with it, until then I hope someone pick it up again. Special thanks for Dr Sharaz Jek and PhoenixSoul91 for their contribution. Good bye and good luck.
