"You have to be fucking..kidding me.."

Rainbow Dash spat her words like a shocked wolf in the sights of a Hunter's sights. For before her, even as a light snow fall began to drip from the grey might morning Winter day, stroad Adagio Dazzle, her unwashed, wild bush of Golden hair, slipping the alley's shadows with each stride of holey patched boots. A feral grin ran malnurished, frost bitten cheeks. Blood shot eyes, more like a boxers  blow shaded brows, instead of exhaustion, where cocked and locked on the cringing form of Fluttershy, the fist up in defiance Rainbow Dash, and shocked but firm shoulderd Rainboom leader, Sunset Shimmer.

"No Joke, you sweat sock born whore. Oh my, is that the Yellow Coward?"

Fluttershy only withdrew further behind her Leader, and best friend. The weak little human girl whimpering lightly.

"Well well, it IS..hehe, come here Little Mouse, you owe me and my Sisters something."

"Ha! Ya right. You better get lost Dazzeless!"

Rainbow was immedately cocked and ready, her tomboyish cut of mane bouncing in the falling snow and dim light.

"Flutters aint gonna give you, or your lieing bitch Sirens, anything! You've used her for the last time! You..you pretended to be her friend, for what, hand outs? Pathetic!"

Adagio stopped perhaps a dozen yards away, stray trash dusted between the seperated partys. A hacked cough breaking the sudden silence a moment later, followed by a dozen or so of its siblings. Recovering slowly, the former Alpha Lioness raised her head, blood dripping down the cracked tears on her lips. A wild, crazed grin burning past her pale features.

"Pathetic...PATHETIC!! You, it is YOU, you Rainboom whores, you fucking..fucking HUMANS! Hack..cough.."

Breaking down again, but recovering all the faster she snapped her ruby eyes up and clenched meagerly gloved hands at her boney hips.

"We are SIRENS!"

Snickering and returning to a cocky arm crossed pose, not seeing any threat from what looked like a skeleton wrapped in a matted rug of orange. Rainbow Dash spat at the snowy earth between them.

"Oh please, we Rainbow Zapped whatever Evil she bitchs you might have been right back to Equestria. Sunset here made sure of that, take a hick and go die in a gutter, loser!"

Sunset Shimmer, upoun hearing her name, snapped back to reality. For her eyes had been wide in sheer and utter horror, locked upoun the form of Adagio Dazzle before her. The Rainbooms Leader could make no sense of it. It had barely been three or four months since the battle, sure this Winter WAS harsh and overly cold but..The being before her, couldnt appear more then a dieing cancer patient, a rotting Zombie who managed to hide the decay beneath stolen, ruined and patched garments. Sunset Shimmer felt her mind slip back to past images of the former Alpha Siren.

"Oh..we know all about you Sunset Shimmer"

Sunset had spun, around her sharked a nearly six foot tall women with a mane of Golden and Orange hair like that of a Lions mane. She had shudderd when bossom, fat, heavy and full of Immortal power, barely contained in a purple silken tube top, brushed her elbow. And nearly collapsed in blushing fits when the sheer girth of the most motherly, femine, and fertile hips had slammed into her own.

Shacking the memory away she blinked several times and just took in the image of her former Foe, one more time. Gone was the full lips, the sultry curves, the girth, the power of womenhood and femine allure that only a true Alpha could bare, and in its place stood, or more over, hunched in a sickely agony. Adagio's flesh, once a brazen  gold, now looked more like that of a sickly sunfish's, she cowerd not in the finest of silk and leather, but patched, stolen and probly reeking garments. Sunset suddenly felt thankful to be upwind. She seen the cut cheeks, the black eye, the frost bitten fingers, heard the coughs and just wanted to hug the poor girl.

"A..Adagio? Is that, you?"

Rainbow and Fluttershy both looked at Sunset in mute shock, there eyes seeking to understand the curiosity if not horror in there leaders voice.

"Ahh, duh Girl? That is that Siren bitch who tryed to take over.."

"Silence.."

The word came in barely a whisper, but it stung like a wintery blast, drawing all three of the girls eyes back upoun her. Ruby eyes ducked to hide beneath dirty golden locks.

"Is that, pity I hear, Shimmer? Tsk, your a fucking fool. You are more Human now then these skanks you call friends. YOU WOULD DARE LOOK DOWN UPOUN ME! Do you...of course you do. Do you think for a moment I don't know why you and your flat chested thug are here? You figured out our game, and now your here to finish us off.."

With her outboast passing, the former Lioness began to stalk forward like she once had her Ocean born Pride. Closing the distance slowly, with one half dragged limp at a time, she spoke. Her voice as cold as the ice that clung to her garments, and hissing more venom then any of the Snakes in Fluttershy's animal shelter.

"You hurt us, you BROKE US..You won, but you won't touch my girls again, you WON'T HURT THEM EVER AGAIN! DIE, DIE YOU HUMAN SCUM!"

For one so clearly frozen from exposure, sickly...dieing, jerked the hidden blade and lunged at such speed that even Rainbow Dash was caught off guard.

"NO! FLUTTERSHY"

"SHIT!"

"M..MOVE!"

The trio of songstress born Sisters scrambled to shove one another out of the way. But it was Sunset with a shoulder shrug, sent Fluttershy into Rainbow's arms and the pair falling into the gathering snow. Stepping up and into the blade, her hands closed along its edge and life blood spilled. For a moment the former Equestrians just glared at one another. Adagio's lean shoulders, trembling. Sunsets forearms locked like steel.

"Stop this, now. It doesnt have to be like this, their can be forgiveness. Adagio look at yourself!"

A sneer formed as fresh bile and icor dripped from her lips, the Alpha bitch let out a weak snarl, for just the measure of standing and still trying to shove her blade forward, was as if moving mountains to the starved Siren.

"Look..at..me? LOOK AT YOU! Friendship? Magic? What, LOOOVE?! Your..hack..a foo..cough..Sunset Shimmer, this world could have been yours! But It WILL be, MINE!"

With a tired head shack and saddend expression, the Biker leaned forward as if to whisper, before slamming her brow into the weakend Lioness face. Yanking the blade away as the Golden Girl fell away and into a crumbled heap, Sunset looked down at it in pity. Its jagged broken hilt now soaked in her own blood, she hurled it away into the nearby alley and clenched her fists.

"This World is no one's to rule or own. And their can be another day for you Adagio, just like there was for me!"

"Sunny!"

The Yellow mousey girl squeeled and stumbled up to her Leader, as if by magic she had already ripped off the sleeve of her own jacket and then ripped again to form bandages. The pair stood, Fluttershy motherly tending to Sunset's wounds, the Rainboom Leader watching the fallen but still cognent form of the Siren Alpha. Rainbow Dash had quickly snapped to her boots, and was looming over Adagio, her fists clenched and teeth out.

"You fucking Psycho! Who the slag carries a damn Knife! Dead beat..whore..fucking..I'M gonna mess you up for what you did to Sunset!"

"Rainbow! Stop!"

The Tomboy paused, in her left hand held the scruff of the tatterd Dazzlings jacket, her skeletal body daggeling in mid air. She glanced back to her leader for comfirmation. While Adagio just starred up at the cloudy mid day sky, the Sun cut a bit and in that golden beam, her bruised eyes swelled in tears. One limp arm lifting, falling then lifting again to grasp at the sky.

Rainbow Dash turned back, sensing the Siren's movement, her free arm balling into a fist. She was fast, able to run the mile in under Two Minutes, on a full stomach. Rainbow was able to bench two hundred pounds, squat a clean four and easily slam a basket in gym. All this phsyical power and skill however seemed to slip, as a purple fist cracked along her jaw with a desperate force like that of a Mother lifting a car off its child.

"DAGI!!"

Sonata's cry was out of this world. The bubble headed Siren was one to squeel, giggle, and give an evil cackle that would make a witch wet herself. But never had her voice spoke of such horror, as if Tartarus had cracked the earth and was pouring from beneath her. She bolted up to Aria's side, the once Bruiser of the Sirens was still in full swing pose beneath her lay Adagio, and over three feet away curled the form of Rainbow.

"Ha..s..still got it! Cough.."

Leaning back to allow her Sister to tend to their Leader, Aria made the best pose she could, intimidation clear in her stance. If not for the clearly seen ribs poking through her soiled tshirt and jacket, knobby and malnurished legs trembling in the light wind, and sunken cheek, split lip and hooded eyed face, she might actually look like a threat.

"Dagi! Dagi!!"

The youngest of the Trio knelt, and took up her Alpha with both weakend arms, fighting to hold even the diminished weight of her Sister. Her Pink eyes floundering, seeking and hunting for any injuries, hands searching her Leaders body.

"Adagio..Dagi! Where sorry, we wanted to listen, to follow your Orders just like the old days. Dagi, can you hear me?"

Sonata followed her leaders tear filled gaze, and even as the harsh barks of Aria mingled in with the threats and cat calls from a fallen Rainbow, worried whimpers from Fluttershy and proud finger pointed acusations from Sunset, all she could find as she craddled her Sisters head, was that single sliver of the sun, peeking out from behind the cold, freezing winter clouds.

"Celestia.."
