Legend of the heart of Equestria- Tyrants fire.

Chapter 1:  The beginning.

When the world was young, there were four powerful beings. They were known as the lords of Equestria. These lords used their power to breathe life into the world, unknowingly that a fifth lord was breathing life. The four lords: Galaxia, the Equine lord, Grixis, the Griffon lord, Drakion, the Dragon lord, and Symphony, the Siren lord. These lords shaped the land of the elements. Under the shadows lied Crytalis, the Changeling lord, who corrupted the dark side of the planet. The four lords, unknowingly what is happening breathed life to their respective races. During their final hours of shaping the world, they took a piece of their powers to create the heart of Equestria. A source of the worlds magic, or it should have been if Crytalis hadn't discovered what they were doing and fused his own power into the heart. Too late to reverse the process, the four lords had broken the heart of Equestria into five shards and hidden them within their own territories.

Symphony hidden the heart of the Sirens deep in the ocean, Drakion had given his most powerful of dragons the honor of safekeeping the heart of dragons, Grixis has infused the heart of the Griffons within a chosen Griffon, Galaxia had bestowed the heart of the Equines to the line of royalties starting with Queen Starshine and King Nyx. Crytalis placed his heart within the massive hive of ritoulis.

-1,000,000 years later-

It had been 3 months since the battle of the bands and things are returning to normal in CHS. At least as normal as things get in a world that is connected to Equestria. Sunset Shimmer wrote to Twilight Sparkle on a weekly basis to check up on things and telling her on her lessons in friendship. She and her friends: Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Apple Jack, Fluttershy, and Rarity practice in their band: The Rainbooms after school with tech help from Vinyl Scratch, a local DJ and music mixer. Life in CHS is getting back on track, but not everyone is as happy as the Rainbooms.

The Dazzlings, former Sirens had it rough after the event. Not everyone is eager to forgive on what they had done. A lot of the students would give them condescending looks but some of them would go out of their way to bully them or worst, physically injure them. It was one thing to lose their pendants containing their powers, but to be beaten senseless and constantly reminded of their past deeds were a whole other story. Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna were of no help either, and it's not like they can ask the Rainbooms for help.

One morning, the three were running late for school. Their apartment was small and shabby as they have no family in this world and it's better than living out on the streets. Adagio, Aria and Sonata ran as fast as they could to make it to school on time. The weather outside was dreadful as it was raining heavily and thunder and lightning flashed and boomed in the distance.

They had made it to the school yard when they ran into Flash Sentry and three diggers calling themselves diamond dogs. "Look who decided to show up to school," Flash Sentry said. The Dazzlings were cold, wet and scared as out of the students who had bullied them, Flash Sentry is the worst. He took it upon himself to dish out "punishment" for their actions, not knowing what Twilight Sparkle would do. His posse, the diamond dogs are brutes to say the least. "And here I thought you three would have grown a brain when we imply that we don't want you here."

Thunder crashes as Flash Sentry and the diamond dogs cracked their knuckles. Sunset shimmer was watching at a distance, hoping not to get involved in this. Confused, she ran inside the school and rushed to her locker. Inside was a book with her cutie mark on it. She scribbled a letter to Twilight Sparkle about the situation and closed it.

-Ponyville-

Day to day operations as the Princess of Friendship of Equestria is a bit dull. Though there are times when something comes up that needs solving, the most Twilight Sparkle and her friends deal with are usual politics and their own day to day activities.

Twilight was busy in her downtime reading books and practicing and honing her alicorn magic. Apple Jack spends some of her time helping her family out at her farm of Sweet Apple Acres. Fluttershy herds little woodland creatures and cares for them in her shack near the Everfree Forest. Pinkie Pie is doing whatever a Pinkie pie does while Rainbow Dash practice her flying to fulfill her dream of joining the Wonderbolts. Rarity is always busy making outfits her clients and Spike is always willing to help her in the tasks because he would do anything for his love.

A usual day was going on in Ponyville until Twilight heard a faint vibrating noise in the library. She used her magic to levitate the book that Princess Celestia had given her that lets her keep tabs on her friends in Canterlot High. Opening the book, she flipped through th pages to find the latest entry from Sunset Shimmer. What she read was disturbing.

Dear Princess Twilight Sparkle,

I am writing to you because I have distressing news involving Flash Sentry. I have spotted him in front of the school bullying the Dazzlings and not in a verbal way. From what I have currently witnessed as I am writing this, he and the diamond dogs are currently using physical force on the three former sirens. This has me worried. Flash is not the type of guy to have a sense of vengeance and I am scared to think what he would do if he had spotted me. In fact, as I am writing, I saw Rainbow Dash trying to defend them but Flash over powered her and they took her and Sonata Dusk into his car. Please come as quick as possible.

With distress,

Sunset Shimmer.

Twilight Sparkle re read the whole letter to see if she had missed anything. She paced around the library. "I need to leave asap. But first, I will need somepony to watch over things while I am gone, but Rarity has too much to do and Spike is helping her that I can't bring myself to ask him to send a letter to Princess Celestia explaining how I broke the rules of magic and created a machine that forces the portal open and potentionally leave that world vulnerable to Equestrian dark magic."

Twilight spent the next two ours thinking until she slapped herself silly. "What am I thinking? Sunset Shimmer needs me. Rainbow Dash need me. And whether they like it or not, the Sirens need me. I can't let them down." Twilight sped to the portal and placed the book on the machine to draw power from. "Sorry everypony," Twilight muttered to herself. "I have to do this myself." She jumped through the portal.

The school yard is drenched in rain when Twilight made it through. Sunset Shimmer was waiting for her. "Welcome back," Sunset said to her friend. "I wish I can have you over at a time where we don't need your help. Come on, I got everyone in the music room. I told Principal Celestia that we need it for an emergency band meeting."

Without warning, Sunset grabbed Twilight's arm and raced inside and down the halls to the music room. Once they were inside, Sunset slammed and locked the door. Apple Jack, Fluttershy, Rarity and Pinkie Pie were sitting on one side of the room while Adagio Dazzle and Aria Blaze were sitting on the other side. Apple Jack spoke out first. "If you three hadn't controlled everyone's minds, then you wouldn't have gotten so much hate!" The others agreed with Apple Jack.

"Quite. Only lowly creatures like you could have ever thought that turning everyone against each other for your own personal gain would expect forgiveness." Rarity spoke. Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle didn't say anything and sat in the middle.

"Girls, what is with you?" Sunset spoke out. Silence fell as everyone focused on Sunset. "Yes, the Dazzlings had done some bad things, but that is not important. What is important is that Flash Sentry has kidnapped Rainbow Dash and Sonata Dusk and we need to go after him."

Pinkie looked at Sunset intensely. "Says the girl who wrecked everything in a matter of years!" The whole room was arguing among Twilights friends. The only ones not arguing were Adagio, Aria and Sunset who sunk into their seats. "Something is wrong here. Why is everyone so vengeful? It can't be the sirens as even if they had their magic, then there would be no reason to have everyone hate them, That means Flash is not himself." Twilight signaled Sunset, Adagio and Aria out of the room silently while the others argued.

"Sunset Shimmer, there are guards in this world?" Twilight asked. Sunset Shimmer  took out her phone. "Yeah. I can contact Captain Shining Armor to investigate where they are at." Adagio spoke out. "Twilight Sparkle, why are you doing this? I know you want to help Rainbow Dash, but why help Sonata as well?" Aria and Adagio were showing signs of concern and sadness about Sonata. Sure she was a ditz, but she was the only one they got. "It should be obvious," Twilight told them. "We're friends and that's what friends do. I always make sure to use the magic within to spread the magic of friendship even to those who considered themselves enemies. And now we got to do whatever we can to help Sonata and Rainbow Dash any way we can."

Moments later outside, 3 cop cars shown up in front of the school. Captain Shining Armor walked up to the school where Sunset Shimmer, Adagio Dazzle, Aria Blaze and Twilight Sparkle waited. "I got a call about a kidnapping." He spoke. Sunset nodded and pointed him to where the incident took place. "Get me Professor Twilight Sparkle here. She will need to see this." Shining Armor examined the blood stains that led to the portal.

A car drove by and who came out was a surprise to Twilight. She looks similar to herself. "Did you spot that strange anomaly yet, brother?" The human Twilight asked. "I can't figure out what this strange aura is that surrounds the blood. I need you to take a sample of it."

Twilight took a knife and a small plastic bag. "I don't mean to intrude, but shouldn't we focus more on rescuing Sonata Dusk and Rainbow Dash from Flash Sentry? Not taking samples?" Sunset told Shining Armor. "Right, of course. I will need to know what car he drives and I will get patrols on the lookout."

Sunset sighed and described the car. Shining Armor wrote everything down and relayed the information to his fellow officers. "I will need to talk to Principal Celestia about what has happened. As far as I am aware, school is on lockdown until Flash Sentry is apprehended and you four are going to the station to answer some questions.

None of them wanted to wait around in the station wile Flash is doing who knows what to Rainbow Dash and Sonata Dusk. They must find a way to distract them, even if it means that they might have to reveal the portals location. But Twilight thought to herself, the lives of her friends are more important than a portal.

Twilight tapped the other Twilights shoulder. "Hey uh, other me." She said anxiously. "I know where you can find the biggest anomaly. It is right here. This portal leads to another world." Skeptical, the other Twilight reached her hand to the portal and found that the statue was not at all what it seemed. "This is the biggest find of my life! I will need everyone to help me quarantine this area for further study." She told the officers.

"Okay. While they are distracted, now's our chance." Twilight told her friends. The four snuck past everyone and decided that they will find Flash Sentry by themselves.

-meanwhile-

Flash Sentry had locked Rainbow Dash and Sonata Dusk in the trunk as he and the diamond dogs rode through the city. "Dammit!" muttered Flash Sentry. "If that rainbow brat hadn't gotten in our way, we would have dealt justice to those sirens, but I suppose taken one of them would send a stronger message." Flash spent half an hour driving until he found an abandoned warehouse. "This will do. Get those two out and hang them up on whatever is around."

The diamond dogs grew from confident to confused. It was true that everyone wanted revenge for what the sirens had done. But to go as far as kidnapping? They shook off the feeling and dragged Rainbow Dash and Sonata Dusk inside the warehouse. The place was a mess. Rusted pillars and metals, rotting floors  and broken windows. No wonder why this was condemned.

"Fetch me anything I can use to "entertain" my guests." Flash ordered. The Diamond dogs complied and scoured the warehouse for anything that Flash would want. In the mean time, Flash walked p to his victims and slapped them awake. Wake up, Siren. And you to, traitor!" Shouted Flash.

Sonata and Rainbow opened their eyes to see that they are not at school. Te Diamond dogs returned with an armful of equipment. Flash sorted through them and dug out a baseball bat with rusty nails, a crowbar, a hook and a dull carving knife. "What kind of warehouse is this?" Flash thought out loud. "It is a gold mine of weapons." Flash took the bat and hit Sonata in the gut. The nails punctured through her flash as he retracted it, blood gushed out.

Flash repeated the assault a few times. The look on Rainbows face was horrific as blood squirted on his face. "Your turn, Dashie." Flash said. He swung the bat at Rainbow Dash, but it broke after the first swing. "Looks like we are going for the crowbar then. You three. Set them down and remove the splinters from Rainbow Dash. I want to enjoy this. I will be back in ten minutes."

The Diamond dogs let them down to the ground. Sonata groan in pain and Rainbow Dash tried to ignore it. "Why?" Rainbow spoke. One of them heard. "Why help Flash? I know you. You wouldn't do this, not even Flash himself. There is something wrong." The tallest Diamond dog spoke to her. "We are no good at making decisions on our own but the moment that Flash wanted us to get these things, we are hesitant to help but we are not smart enough to beat him."

Rainbow Dash smiled. "Good thing I have friends who will be on their way to help." Flash Sentry came back with a few more items: A gas can, a wash cloth, as well as a car battery and jumper cables. "Got a few more tings for the fun boys." Flash said. He set them aside and picked up the crowbar. "Which one should I do first? I am not done with you, traitor but then again. My intention was on the Siren so I think I should go for the Siren." Flash smacked Sonata repeatedly with the crowbar.

Rainbow Dash cried out "No! Stop! Do me, not her! I can take it! Please just stop!" Flash pretended not to hear as he continued to hit Sonata. Bones could be heard breaking as Sonata was coughing blood. "Don't go out on me now, Siren." Flash hissed. "We're just getting started. Besides, what's a few shattered bones and broken ribs that can stop my fun?"

-the chase-

Twilight Sparkle, Sunset Shimmer, Aria Blaze and Adagio Dazzle climbed into Vinyl's car as they sped to search for their friends. "Aria," Sunset spoke. "Aren't Cell phones able to track other phones?" Aria tried and dialed Sonata's number. The phone rang and someone picked it up. "This is NOT Sonata Dusk, if this is the rest of the Sirens though, I am waiting at the abandoned warehouse at the edge of the city." Flash Sentry crushed the phone and the line went dead.

"He is having them at the abandoned warehouse at the edge of the city. Anyone know what it is?" Aria asked. Sunset answered the question. "It used to be a car factory until it was closed down after a handful of murders. It remains abandoned to this day. And now we know where. What's the plan Twilight?" Sunset asked. Twilight thought long and hard on this and replied. "We go in and stop Flash Sentry from doing any more harm. Aria, call the hospital in case we need it and Adagio, inform the police on the location. Sunset Shimmer and I will try to save them."

Within ten minutes, they have arrived at the warehouse. The place resonated an aura of foreboding but none of them cared. They came for one reason only. To save their friends. Twilight and Sunset ran to the other end of the warehouse and silently opened the door. They could hear faint groans and cries of pain as well as loud banging of metal. They hid around the corner and saw Rainbow Dash and Sonata Dusk in bad shape. Flash Sentry took the carving knife and stabbed Sonata before doing the same to Rainbow Dash. He was careful not to hit anywhere vital as he wanted them alive for the whole thing.

Twilight Sparkle signaled Sunset shimmer to hide on the other side and get the diamond dogs attention. "If we can get the three out of the way, then taking Flash out will be easier than having to contend to all of them at once." Sunset picked up a rock and tossed it to the largest diamond dog who, with the other two, went to investigate when they were jumped by the two heroes.

The diamond dogs didn't put up much of a fight when they realize who they were. "We made bad mistake. Flash made us do it. Something not right with Flash or anyone else. We are not smart enough to be affected what whatever black smoke was and Rainbow one too loyal to be affected."

"If you're telling the truth, then why haven't you stopped him?" Sunset asked. "We are too afraid." The three of them begged. "Well, looks like we got to do this alone. Good thing I have you with me, Twilight." Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle took position behind Flash as he was distracted and pounced.

"What's going on?" Flash roared. "Let go of me and I will make sure that you won't suffer as long as those two are!" Twilight was frantic. Without her unicorn magic, she cannot dispel whatever it was that has hold of him. He hurled Sunset shimmer against a pillar and fell unconscious as the rusted pillar toppled on top of her. What came next was a loud shaking. The place was falling apart. Flash opened his eyes and seen that he had gotten stronger.

"This is what I am talking about." Flash shouted as he tried to fling Twilight off of him but to no avail. "Flash!" Twilight shouted to his ear. "This isn't you! Snap out of it! You are not a monster! It's not too late to change things. Just please come to your senses.!" Twilight cried. Her tears fell on Flash's shoulder. Flash Sentry reached for Twilight and tossed her out through the wall and slammed hard on his car.

After a careful gaze on who he had thrown, Flash had lost his rage. He called out to her but Twilight didn't respond. The dark magic was dissipating as he shrunk to normal size. Diamond dogs lifted the pillar and dragged Sunset Shimmer out and lifted both Rainbow Dash and Sonata Dusk on their shoulders and walked out. Flash who fell silent declined to be helped and urged them to leave him to die as a final act of retribution. "I have no idea what I have done until it was too late. I let my hate and anger take control and I have done horrible atrocities. I am not back with you. This place shall be my tomb." Flash grabbed the hook and impaled his heart with it as the building fell down.

The ambulance and police vehicles arrived and taken the diamond dogs into custody who didn't resisted arrest. Sonata Dusk, Rainbow Dash and Sunset Shimmer were taken to the hospital but no sign of Twilight Sparkle. Adagio and Aria scouted around the wreckage and saw her laying next to Flash Sentry's car. both of them lifted Twilight and carried her back. Even though Twilight is unconscious, they can tell she is suffering from the depression of what Flash had done.
