Adagio Dazzle crawled out of the crater, left in the wake of her defeat at the hands of Princes Twilight Sparkle and her friends, her eyes watering with tears. In a last ditch attempt to cast a spell she began to sing. Her siren powers no more, her music faded as a child with stage fright would.
"I gave you a second chance, Adagio" Twilight sighed down to the siren, like a disappointed mother "you could have turned your lives around with a fresh start" she shook her head "Instead you chose to squander it, use dirty tricks to regain your old power and abuse it to try and take Equestria"
"I'm sorry" Adagio whimpered "I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry" she continued to sob her head as low as the ground would let her
"Even if all of Equestria were to forgive you, I never could. For you betrayed my trust and abused my mercy. You've cheated too many and too much damage has been done for me to just let you three go again, even the mirror portal has rejected you, so I cannot send you back to the Other World"
"I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry" continued Adagio and then followed by her fellow sirens
"I'M SORRY I'M SORRY I'M SORRY I'M SORRY I'M SORRY I'M SORRY I'M SORRY" they call cried in unison their pleas falling on deaf ears as the bearers of the elements hovered higher above the fallen trio.
Twilight whispered to herself "Fool me once, shame on you........
Fool me twice shame on me!!!!!!!!" her voice growing to royal canterlot volume silencing the three defeated girls, who stopped whimpering and began to huddle together at the bottom of the crater, cowering from the Alicorn as they hummed quietly to each other for comfort.
"NO MORE SINGING!!!!!!!!" Twilight called down to them her eyes glowing with alicorn magic. "NO MORE CHANCES!!!!!!"
Twilight lifted the now silent trio out of the crater, and engulfed it with magic before it melted away into the void, purple magic encircling the edges of the hole before swirling down into the nothingness and seemingly pulling an image out of it.
The image portrayed a dismal place, jagged spires of rock with twisted stairways leading to them, the tops of the spires opened up like claws reaching upward as if the land itself were desperate for company. in the center of these claw like spires, cages host to a whole manner of horrific creatures were being tormented by guards seemingly more monstrous than their prisoners. The whole scene making the Abyss feel more welcoming.
"Whaa...what is that?!" Sonata cried
"That is the Portal to Tartaurus" The Alicorn stoicly replied
"You can't throw us in there!" Aria joined "Adagio, DO SOMETHING!"
Adagio just kept quite, staring blankly into the portal in which her tears began to fall, she had accepted what was to happen next. Her companions on the other hand........
"PLEASE NO!" Sonata continued to wail "PLEASE! NO! NO! ADAGIO, HELP ME!"
Adagio did not respond
"ADAGIO! ADAGIO! ADAGI-AAAAAHHHH!!!" Sonata was cut off as she was dropped into the portal, futilely flailing her arms and legs as she decended into the pit.
"SONATAAAAAAA!" Aria screamed, frantically reaching down too late for her friend "YOU DIDN"T HAVE TO DO THAT!" she turned up to face Twilight "BRING HER BACK!" she demanded, putting on a brave face while trying, and failing, to hold back her tears.
Adagio still remaining still and silent to all of this.
"ADAGIO! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!?" Aria's rage now directed at her fellow siren "I HATE YOU!" tears flowing and legs kicking "I HATE YOU FOREVER!" were Aria's last words before the labyrinth of horror swallowing her.
Alone over the portal to Tartaurus, Adagio, broken, stripped of everything and condemned to hell, took one last look at the godlike mare, who held her fate in her hooves.
Before being swallowed by the doorway the last thing Adagio saw was the vengeful godlike glower of Twilight's face turn into a regretful one as the doorway slowly closed.
The Princess of Friendship sobbed to herself
"no more chances............."
Falling for what seemed like eternity, Sonata was caught mid air by two winged, humanoid demons.
"NO!" Sonata was scared of these things more than falling "LET ME GO!" she wailed
the green demon just smiled and nodded to the purple one, both dropping Sonata with a "As you wish princess" with a playful but mocking voice of unison.
Sonata plummeted once again for a while before being caught by the pair. "Think we'd let you get out that easily, Princess? You are staying here to be punished for your crimes till the day you die, as if we'd let you leave so soon, where is the fun in that?" chortled the pair in unison again.
Sonata responded with more struggling and was met with a firmer grip on her limbs. The foul creatures damn near clawing open her soft skin.
"STOP IT! OW! YOU ARE HURTING MEEEEEE!" Sonata's cries were downing out most of the roars from the creatures in the pits below. "ADAGIO! ARIA! SAVE ME FROM THESE THI-ngphmf!" a leathery hand pressed against her mouth.
"How rude princess" the Demons hissed "We are not things, we are your hosts and you are a guest to our wonderful home"
the green one suddenly yelped in pain "Gah! you little!" he lost his playful tone and replaced it with a sickly growl "She bit me"
Sonata dropped again, but only a mere meter or so, landing with a hard plonk on her back. Winded she could do nothing as she was seized by another dozen Demons who quickly, tightly and efficiently restrained her with various chains and shackles.
Still gasping for air, Sonata almost inhaled the gag used to muzzle her, a thick cloth strip soaked in a sticky tar-like goo was tightly wrapped around her mouth and tied behind her head. The gag smelled something fierce and tasted worse too boot, but they made sure she could still breath, if just barely.
"Phnphmf hrr hnngmph!?" Sonata's protests were rendered unintelligible gibberish. "Hhhnmmph! hgnmph nmphgn " her attempts at speech were reduced to muffled whimpers as she gave up.
"Looks like you've worn out your welcome, Princess" a new Demon approached " We take you in like a stray and how do you repay us? How rude of you to bite like a feral animal" he smirked "Well we can't send you back up there now can we? You're stuck with us" he turned around and began to walk away "Take her to her new home"
Sonata struggled as much as her binds would allow, before the green demon got frustrated and clobbered the back of her head with a truncheon.
Stars cascaded across Sonata's vision before a curtain shadow slipped over her consciousness, the ringing of her ears mixed with the maniacal laughter of the green demon.
