The sirens song had ended, leaving a green mist to flood the cafeteria. Various chains of magic were connected to their necklaces, all linked to various students that were now arguing over the Battle of the Bands. "Mhmhm, I can feel the magic pulsating in my gem..." Adagio said, admiring her pendant. "But, it's still not enough to power the portal."

"Seriously?" Aria said in disbelief. "How much magic does the portal need?"

"We need all three of our pendants filled to allow us to open it, I'm almost half full." Adagio said.

"Same, and Sonata probably hasn't reached our level." Aria said.

"She will, when we preform for the entire school body at the battle, there will be more magic than we can hold... Hm, I should probably text her to do some snooping while she's down there." Adagio pulled out her phone.

"You think she can pull it off, Dagi?"

"Probably not, but do you want to do it?" Adagio asked, Aria's silence answered the question.

(Rat Hole)

"Quit squirming, kid!" Anarchy ordered, trying to wrangle Sonata to the floor. She had tape over her mouth and was thrashing against him. Anarchy wrestled her to the floor, belly down, trying to force her arms together. "Just... Making it... Difficult!" He got her arms together and held them down with his knee, than began tying the rope, binding her wrists together. "Dammit... Didn't go down as easy as I thought you would. Stubborn little shit."

"Mfmmpm." Sonata tried to talk, but her voice was muffled.

"Hey, boss! Got her pinned!"

"Nice work, Anarchy. Good and clean, just how we like it." Bad Boy responded, approaching the frightened siren. "Now Sonata..." He removed his shades, looking down at her with his blue eyes in full display. "I ain't gonna hurt ya..." He cracked a smile. "Yet."

"Hm!?" Sonata's pupils shrunk.

Bad Boy snapped his fingers and Anarchy lifted her up, sitting her down on the chair across from Bad Boy's desk. She was shaking and whimpering like a frightened dog. "Calm down, Sonny, I was just joking... I don't make Anarchy beat people for no reason, that'd drive away clients." Sonata felt a little relief after hearing that, than she looked around the room for someone. "Lookin' for Tesla?" He asked. "He ain't here, sent 'im off to collect payment from a few dead-beats."

"... Mmphmpmh..."

Bad Boy snapped his fingers again. "Anarchy, phone."

"Got it." He gave him his phone and Bad Boy pulled up the Notes app.

"Use your nose, tell us what's on ya mind..."

Sonata used the tip of her nose to text a message, she nodded when she was done and Bad Boy read it.

'You'll never get away with this, you bully!'

"What makes you so sure?"

"M... Mh?" She tilted her head to the side.

"Do you have any idea who we are, Baby Blue?... Any idea at all?" He crossed his arms. "See, we ain't some playground bullies lookin' for lunch money... We're a crime syndicate in the making, a mafia in training. This ain't my first kidnapping, baby, and certainly ain't my last."

Sonata shrunk down, clearly terrified.

"Aw, don't be scared, we won't hurt ya... Well, so long as you play nice, that is." He put his shades back on and chuckled. "But, let's discuss why you're here first."

'vrrr!'

"Hm?" Bad Boy saw Sonata's pocket light up in a rectangular shape. He slipped two fingers into her pocket and pulled out her phone. "Anarchy, thumb." He tossed him the phone and he used Sonata's thumb to open the phone via thumb print. The unlock was successful.

"Hm, lot easier than beating the password outta her." He tossed the phone back to Bad Boy, who read the text to himself. "What's it say, boss?"

"... Huh, looks like Doll-face wanted her to snoop around my office... Guess you were right, Anarchy. They really are after us..." He texted her back. "Ah well, I'll just tell her you're a little busy right now..."

(Adagio)

'vrrr!'

Adagio pulled out her phone and read the text. "..... Hm." She put her phone back. "If you say so, Sonata."

"What'd she say, Dagi?"

"She's gonna wait for the place to clear out first, so she'll be back later." Adagio answered.

"Hm, pretty smart of her..."

"Yes, very..." Adagio stopped her walk for a moment. "..... Oh my god, she was captured."

"What?... Shit, you're right. She's never been this careful... Should we go get her?"

Adagio thought about that for a moment, than she noticed Tesla talking with a student in the distance, receiving a large some of cash from the unknown person. "Hmm..... I have a better idea."

"With geek-boy?" Aria questioned.

Adagio ignored the comment and walked toward him, the unknown student left once his business was concluded. Tesla saw her and flinched back a little. "A-Adagio? Why are you out of class?"

"Oh, no reason." She answered, giving him bedroom eyes. "Well... Now that I think of it, there is something I need to do." She backed him against the wall, making him nervous. "Could you be a dear and... Assist me with that tiny little task?"

"Uh... D-Do I really have a choice?"

Adagio giggled. "No."

"I thought so... What do you need me to do?"

"I need you to hack into the student body records. I've done it once, but I'm sure you're much more efficient than I could ever be." She placed a hand on his shoulder. "You wouldn't dare defy your queen... Right?"

Tesla gulped. "R-right..."

(Rat Hole)

"..... Guess she bought it, than." Bad Boy put her phone on his desk. "Now, let's get back to why you're here..."

Sonata gulped.

"Sonata..." Bad Boy stood over her, leaning down to meet her eye-to-shades. "I know you and ya sisters ain't who you say you are."

"..... Mph?"

"Playing dumb, eh?... How 'bout I just tell ya why I'm suspicious?" He straightened himself to full height. "I had some top men do some background checks on you three... Wanna know what I found?" He paused for a moment. "... Nothin'"

Sonata tilted her head in confusion.

"You and your sisters? No identification, no birth certificates, no family records... Hell, are you three even sisters?"

"Mh... Mphmhrmhmph?"

Bad Boy held out the phone and she texted a message.

'If you have no info, than how do you know anything?'

"Ain't it obvious, Baby Blue? You have no records, which means you three are hiding somethin'... I did some cross-comparison with your 'records' and only two other students matched yours." He held up a finger. "The winner of the fall formal herself, Twilight Sparkle..." He raised another finger. "And... Sunset Shimmer." He lowered his hand. "Wanna know what those two have in common?" He pulled out a picture from one of his jacket pockets, it was a picture of the statue outside of the school. "They're both from that magic portal... Those two came here outta 'nowhere', and have no background to speak of. Sounds reeeaaal familiar, don't it?"

Sonata just stared at him with pleading eyes.

"Look, Sonny, I ain't askin' much... Just tell me who you are, and WHAT you are."

Sonata looked away from him.

Bad Boy snapped his fingers. "Anarchy."

"What's up?" He asked.

Bad Boy smiled. "Teach our guest some manners."

"M-Mph!?" Sonata went wide eyed.

"Whatever." Anarchy grabbed the back of her chair and threw it to the side, with her still on it. She hit the floor with a hard thud, forcing a painful grunt out of her. She looked back and saw Anarchy with the chair held above his head. "Last chance, Sonata. Either you start talking, or I make you start talking." Sonata started crying, but if Aria ever found out that she cracked than she'd be in even more trouble. So she closed her eyes and braced herself.

"Yo, Anarchy, hold up a second!"

..... Sonata opened her eyes and saw Anarchy put the chair down. "What's up?"

"Doll-face's texting me." He said.

"Her? How'd she get your number?"

"Texted Aria earlier, she must've kept my number." He answered, reading the text.

"Well what'd she say?"

"... The hell?"

'I know you have my sister, Bad Boy.'

"Crap... Looks like she caught us." He said, texting her back.

'You gonna come get her, than?'

She answered back.

'No.'

"No?" He read. "So she don't want her sister back..." She texted again.

'If you want to keep her, than fine. I'll just keep my new little mousy.'

"Mousy?" He asked out loud. "Who the... Tesla." Bad Boy cursed under his breath, then ripped the tape off of Sonata's mouth, making her grunt. "I'm done playing games, Sonny. Start talkin', or else..."

(Adagio.)

"It's just up ahead, Adagio." Tesla assured.

"Where exactly are we going, Tesla?"

"Someplace quiet, where no one will disturb us." He said. "And there's only one place like that."

Adagio was puzzled, but then she saw the book-return slot on the wall. "Ah, the library. A place with computers yet is hated by everyone."

"Exactly." He confirmed. "Chances are nobody will be here, so..." He opened the doors to discover, he was wrong. Sunset Shimmer and her friends were there, discussing the 'dark magic' that the Dazzlings used. "Oh, Sunset?"

"Tesla?" She questioned back. "What are you doing here?" She then noticed the orange fluff that was Adagio's hair. "And what are you doing with them!?"

"Uh-" He felt something sharp press against his back. "... Business... Just business..."

"... Rat business?"

"N-no! I... Was going to do a research paper with my partners." He lied.

"You're a terrible liar, Tesla-dear." Adagio said, retracting the knife from his back. "Miss Shimmer, how exactly does our business have anything to do with your current affairs?"

"... What?" Rainbow questioned in confusion.

"It's our business when you hypnotize the school with dark magic!" Sunset yelled.

"Dark magic? Moi?" Adagio said in faux innocence. "I'll have you know, Sunset, we do not dabble in the dark arts. Ours is simply a... Foreign magic."

"Foreign?... What do you mean by that?"

Adagio ignored her question and held Tesla's shoulder. "Tesla-dear, is there any place else we can... do our business?"

"I got a suggestion."..... That was NOT Aria's voice. Adagio turned around and was met with the bad end of a glock. The holder? Bad Boy, and he looked beyond pissed. Behind him was Anarchy, who held her sisters at gun-point with twin glocks. Sonata looked scared out of her mind while Aria simply kept her eyes closed, accepting her capture. "How 'bout I send ya straight to hell?"

"Boss!" Tesla shouted.

"B-Bad Boy! What a... Pleasant surprise... So, um-"

"Drop." He interrupted.

"Uh... dr-"

"I said DROP!" He smacked Adagio's head with the bottom of the gun's grip, he was done playing around.

"AH! Okay! Okay!" She slowly kneeled down, hands in the air. "Such a ru-"

Bad Boy shoved the barrel of the gun in her running mouth, silencing her. "Not another fucking word, Siren. Or the last thing you'll ever swallow will be your own bloody vocal chords."

Adagio gained a look of surprise.

"Ya sister cracked, told me everything." He shoved the gun further down her throat, making her gag. "Now... You think you can just take my clients from me?... You think you can steal my crew? My Rats!?"

"Bad Boy! Stop!" Sunset yelled, gaining his attention.

"You!? The hell you doi-"

'smack!'

Bad Boy wasn't watching Adagio, she took his moment of weakness and hit him square in the crotch. "Oh!... My boys!" He collapsed, holding his crotch in pain. Adagio shrieked, unleashing a sound wave that threw Anarchy back.

"Shit!" Anarchy quickly got back up. "Tesla! Stop them!"

Adagio looked at Tesla, paralyzed by fear and astonishment from her display of magic.

"Tesla!"

"... I... I can't... There's no way that was real..." It was no use, he couldn't move an inch.

Adagio smiled, and ran toward him.

"Tesla! Snap out of it!" Aria and Sonata jumped Anarchy. He saw Adagio grab him. "Tesla!"

He snapped out of his trance, but when he came back all he could see was a pair of green, glowing pupils starring into his. "Hello, Tesla-boy."

"Adagio?" Tesla felt something press against his lips, than his head became fogged.

"(Shh... Relax.)" A voice entered his subconscious. "(Don't fight it...)" Tesla was... Entranced by those eyes... He couldn't look away, they were just so... Beautiful. "(That's it... Just look into my eyes...)"

Anarchy watched in horror as Adagio kissed Tesla, he saw his color drain from his body. "What the hell are you doing to him!?" Sunset pushed Adagio away from Tesla, causing him to collapse. The sisters pushed Anarchy down and ran for it, Adagio followed suit. "Goddammit!" Anarchy scrambled up. "Sunset, check Tesla! I'll get the boss!"

Sunset and her friends came to his aid, Anarchy helped Bad Boy to his feet. "Ah, easy Anarchy."

"I gotcha boss, you okay?"

"Still tender... Man, girl can hit... So, where's my boy at?" Anarchy turned him to Tesla, still pale and unconscious. "What happened?"

"Adagio kissed him and... His color started to fade." Anarchy explained.

"Hrm... Sunset, any idea?"

"No, I have no idea... But I know someone who might. Applejack, Rainbow, bring Tesla with us. Anarchy, follow me." She ordered.

"Where we goin', Shimmer?" Bad Boy asked.

"My locker, I have something that can help us."

(Adagio)

"We lost them, Dagi." Aria said. "You alright?"

"Crap... I never thought he would snap like that." Adagio said, rubbing her head. "It still hurts..."

"... Dagi, I'm sorry for cracking." Sonata said. "It's just... Anarchy." She shivered. "He's so scary."

"It's... It's understandable, Sonata. I'm just glad that we got away right now. But, it's not a complete loss." She said, smirking and crossing her arms. "I just so happened to... Leave them a parting gift."
