April 19th, 2012 12:00pm It was a long and hard work at High School since moving from Texas to Michigan since Artyom Grey was only 10 years old.  He was 17 years old now and always had some hard times without enjoying life in classes.  He um most of the times tries a few or so cheat sheets to his friends, but gets caught and has been to two detentions.  Guess that's just the way he is since his father left the family and that he lives with his mother, his step brother, and his twin sister.  He'll have to learn at some point sometimes that he can't be like this forever. His six friends are named Steven, James, Joey, Kristina, Krystal, and Sally.  They both get along with Artyom sometimes, but they just try to avoid so that they can focus on their own career goals in mind and Artyom keeps distracting them.  So there gonna have to tell him that they'll be parting ways to move forward. "Artyom can you stop getting us into trouble every damn time?!" Steven said getting annoyed.  He's 18 years old and always been working to one day have a good scholarship to be a math teacher for middle school. "Yeah like I can't read everything while on an empty stomach." James said sitting tiredly.  He's 17 years old and just always slacking to just find a good job in order to have a restaurant filled with good free protein. "Can you not be more pathetic than James here?" Joey said focusing on building strategy getting the girls.  Joey is 19 years old and he  loves to get girls for their phone numbers, but gets rejected and some slaps too. "Lately all four of you just started like being boyfriends, eeeeewww." Kristina said sarcasm.  Kristina is 19 years old and just want some peace and quiet to have a study for books.  Always gets mean and  language talk yeeeeesh. "Oh it's okay Artyom, I'm okay with you if were going to detention together." Krystal said with a blushing smile.  Krystal is 17 years old and has always had a crush on Artyom since he had a new home in Michigan.  Artyom did save Krystal from being bullied by the other girls in cheer leading. "Oh don't worry about it Artyom, I'm sure that I can buy you some snacks when you die of boredom." Sally said in laughter.  Sally is 16 years old and she also has a crush on Artyom a bit, but not exactly told him.  Sally didn't had a lot of friends in elementary school till she dropped some books and that Artyom helped her out.  That was the best moment in her life. "Oh come on guys and gals, this will be our last year together!  Hey uh tell you what, how about we go find a treasure by the beach?  We can all have that special moment when all seven of us that had a great time to discover a new life together!" Artyom said with a pride smile on his face thinking that he got the votes in. "Count me in with new problems in geometry."  Steven said feeling better. "If there is a new recipe, I'll gulp it down!"  James said still hungry. "At least I'll find a new land of babes and hot chicks to find along the way." James said with shining eyes. "if I get bored again, someone is gonna get a hit in the groin!" Kristina said with a mad face. "Oh goody goody, now me and Roy with have a lot of time enjoying on a beach with me!" Krystal said with a squeak and shining smile on her face.  Which also looked like her love power level is over 9000. "Hey ease up on him Krystal, there will be no love dating on the beach."  Sally said feeling jealous to Krystal.  Probably because she wants him too, but with a private more different location. "Then let's go people, we got ourselves an investigation to discover unknown territory!"  Artyom yelled out to his friends. It was now a few hours behind and the sun is going to set soon.  The forecast of the heavy storm said that it's going to hit near where Artyom and his friends are going to that beach to find some treasures, but that won't stop till he finds what he's been looking for. After packing a few things to go, Artyom and his friends had finally arrived at the beach.  They only see some beach toys like everywhere and there's been some kind of belongings on the grounds too.  They tried to yell and see if anyone could be back for their belongings, but not a single answer bit it's a beach ghost town. "Alright team, there are a couple of missions to begin with.  First: Finding some treasures under the sand.  Second: Make sure to find anyone or anything that might know of what the hell happened here, got everything down?" Artyom said and his friends nodded to him. As his friends split into two teams, he was with Krystal, Sally, and Steven to search for any clues to know what's been going on.  So far none of them found anything as they continued for a couple of hours.  Artyom found something in the sand like a sealed stone. "Well well well, look at what we have here?  Looks like a strange stone with a crest on it.  Maybe I should just keep it with me at all times just to make of the markings on it."  Artyom said with an interesting. "Uhhhh I don't know if you should keep it Artyom.  You have to put it back."  Sally said with a worried look on her. "Eehhh it'll be alright Sally.  Besides that could help with some science work." Steven said in a cool way. As soon as they were done searching and digging, Artyom kept the stone with him and he notices a writing in the sand that he dug the stone up from.  It was saying,  "Who shall ever hold the 'Hope' to Equestria must help the 'Elements of Harmony' in their darkest time. "Hey guys come over here I found something!  While I was chewing on some food and some drink, I discovered a couple video camera's and a memory chip of what happened here." James said with a confusing look. "Well at least we found a clue, try playing it back from the beginning."  Artyom said as they all looked very carefully. It's gonna be raining soon as Artyom and his friends kept going to see any videos on there till they that everyone was being attacked by an unknown creature lurking in the water.  no one had survived and the creature took the dead bodies. "This can't be good now.  Steven call the cops over here.  Tell them what we have found!"  Artyom said still looking around watching. Ten minutes had passed since Steven called the cops over and they will be on their way about twenty minutes.  Artyom feels a sense of fear looking towards him and he tell his friends to keep an eye out for that creature could be still around the beach. "Hey guys, I see something by the lake.  It is a beautiful voice calling."  Joey said in a trance or something. "Get back everyone!  This must be the one that killed these people here!"  Artyom said in a defensive look. The strange woman was singing in a beautiful try lure other men to their doom.  Guessing that this woman is a Siren that Artyom heard about the history of B.C. books.  Artyom had his ears plugged up and his three guy friends did the same too. "ARE YOU THE ONE THAT HAS DUG THE ANCIENT ELEMENT FROM EQUESTRIA?" The Siren said pointing to Artyom. "If I was though and never heard of this place, were you the one that killed all these people?!" Artyom said not letting his guard down. "OH I WAS JUST A BIT BORED SO WHY NOT HAVE THE TIME TO KILL WITH A LITTLE SPORTS?" The siren said laughing. "It's just like all the criminals trying to hide evidence.  Like you being a coward and a murderer!" Artyom said not being fooled. "MURDERER, ISN'T IT MURDEROUS TO WIPE OUT THE REST OF HUMANITY AND IT'S CREATION?" The Siren said with a creepy look. "Yeeeeesh no wonder that no one would have liked you of being fat, lazy, and being an old witch." Artyom said in a joking way. "WHAT DID YOU CALLED ME?!!!"  The Siren killed James with one hand going through him as Artyom's friends were shocked. "I AM NOT A FAT, LAZY, AND BEING AN OLD WITCH YOU GOOD FOR NOTHING INSECT!" The Siren said with an angry look. As his friends run for their lives, the Siren now killed Joey and Kristina.  Both Artyom, Sally, Krystal, and Steven were the only ones left and they had to hide together from the Siren.  It was gone for now in the lake and they had to come up with a plan. "Artyom what the hell was that?!" Steven said still shakened and feared on him. "That thing is called a Singing Siren, there are others like a mermaids or a harpies that lure men to their deaths." Artyom said as he is still nervous of what had happened to Kristina, Joey, and James. "H-H-How do we fight a Siren Artyom?!"  Sally said still worried to her friends. "Well one way or another B.C. has messed with the wrong timeline." Artyom said ready with a proud face. Artyom has gotten out four pack of paintball guns and gave each of them two flash grenades. "Okay guys I got a plan, me and Sally will distract the Siren while Steven and Krystal go to our vehicle and call for help.  After that have to get our dead friends off the beach from that old witch.  Don't want to have more of it coming. " Artyom said as he readied himself to go face the Siren.  Krystal grabbed Artyom's still worried to him. "Artyom don't go out there, that thing will kill you fur sure!"  Krystal said giving him a hug while still crying. "It's alright Krystal, Sally will protect me while Steven protects you."  Artyom said still smiling trying to hide his fear. "If we don't make it out of this, it's been an honor being a good friend to you." Steven said with a bit of tears. "Likewise to you future math teacher Steven." Artyom said as he and his friends made a group hug. Now that everyone has made up, they are now ready for the strategy to plan forward.   Steven and Krystal were sneaking out the other way to move slowly to the vehicle while Artyom and Sally were ready and prepared to strike on the Siren. "HEY BIG UGLY WITCH, I'M OUT HERE NOW COME AND GET MEEEEE!!!" Artyom said trying to Annoy the Siren. "NOW YOU HAVE JUST GONE TOO DAMN FAR THIS TIME, wait where is the rest of you-?" The siren was interrupted and blinded by Artyom's paintball gun. He also had a couple of knife daggers stab the Siren multiple and putting little ball explosives inside her wounds while dodging her attacks  Mean while Steven and Krystal were able to get back to the vehicle and tried to start it up quickly. The Siren hears a noise from the upper beach side.  "SO YOU WERE DISTRACTING ME THE WHOLE TIME WHILE GETTING SOME.  WELL THAT IS NO GOING TO HAPPEN THIS TIME!" The Siren said as she was heading for the vehicle. "STEVEN, KRYSTAL, GET OUT OF HERE GO!  SHE'S ALREADY ONTO US!"  Artyom said yelling to them. It was already too late.  The Siren lifted the vehicle up and threw it by a nearby cabin leaving Steven and Krystal still stuck inside. "NOOOOO!!!  Your gonna pay for that you scanky witch!" As Artyom readied his two daggers to charge at the Siren. "BACK OFF INSECT, YOU WANNA DIE LAST ANYWAY?!  The Siren said and pulled Artyom's leg and threw him in the field of water. He was getting bruise cuts, teared up clothings, and some blood exposed while fighting back.  Sally still tried to distract the Siren from Artyom and throwing a couple of flash grenades. "FINE, IF YOU WANT TO DIE THAT BADLY THEN SOOOO BE IIIIIIIIT!!!"  The Siren shouted in roaring while going in for them. Artyom had his daggers ready while closing his eyes down.  Suddenely he hears a tear of blood coming in front of him.  He opened his eyes and was shocked and feared that Sally shielded him from the Siren's fanged hands that pierced throgh Sally's air pumps by her heart. Sally fell down and Artyom quickly went over to her. "NEXT TIME DON'T GET IN MY WAY!"  The Siren getting mad then calmed down to wait for Artyom to finish up. "S-S-Sally, why did you do that?"  Artyom said feeling sad. "Did (coughs) didn't I tell you that I could buy you some food?" Sally said still feeling to smile as she continues. "When I first met you during elementary school, you were always kind to others and helped me with my book(coughs). "Of course you fool, I already known that, but not like this.  Please just hang in there okay?" He said trying to hold her wounds. "It's alright Artyom, you don't have to worry no more.  I (coughs) just want to stay that, I've always loved you!" She said as he blushed. "Right (sniffs) back at you girlfriend." He said as they kissed each other till Sally's eyes closed down and stopped responding. "WOOOOOW WHAT A TOUCHING AND BORING TIME, NOW YOU GONNA HAND THAT STONE TO ME OR NOT?" The Siren said waiting. That made Artyom very angry at her, but he had to keep calm not to be foolish again. "Bite me you piece of crap, butthole, sucking witch.  I'm not gonna let you have this.  Even if you try to kill humanity on Earth, there will always be hope in the darkest time of chaos.  If your gonna have it, then kill me where I stand!" Artyom said as he readied his detonator. Before the Siren was gonna him, the strange rock started to glow inside his pocket and that had the Siren staying back from the light. "The Siren from the B.C. era,  your going back to the past till your nothing, but a dusting cloud days of old!" He said smiling. Artyom still had the trigger for the explosives inside the Siren's body parts.  He pressed it and the Siren was blown up pieces by pieces till she had vanished and never came.  Every was normal and the rain stopped pouring and there was some sunshine. "We-We-We did it my friends.  Steven, James, Joey, Kristina, Krystal, and Sally.  I'll be sure to join you soon..." Artyom collapsed onto the sand.  The glowing stone shook again and that it protected Artyom in a magic field and soon his body jumped into space. The police and paramedics arrived and saw four people dead and the people inside the vehicle into cabin still alive, but badly. Artyom's body was now floating into space somewhere for about 6 hours.  Not knowing that he'll be leaving Earth cause of the glowing stone that will slowly change to it's true form. Mean while in the land of Equestria.   Twilight is just getting ready to write to a letter for Princess Celestia.  Since she has been reading a lot of books in her home, she'll have to spend some time with her friends at some point. Elsewhere in the Kingdom of Canterlot, Princess Celestia was just going to bed since she notices that  until she saw a shooting star passing by the moon and about to touch down near Ponyville. Stay tuned in for Artyom's journey to begin...
