The girls had gathered by the statue of the Canterlot High Wondercolt, late into the night long after everyone was gone for the night waiting for the other pony verse Twilight to arrive from Equestria. Aria leaned against the stone side with a scoff, "Sonata would you please promise me you'll change back into your normal clothes when we get back?" Sonata still worth the gothic and punk like getup she wore the first time she got into Total Mayhem.

"I can't help it, just the way they are so cool and dangerous it just makes me feel like I can take on the world and no one else can stop me." She said as if a tiny bit of her old siren self just with more of Adagio'so venomous tenure and ambitious demeanor. It was enough to make the girls a bit uneasy.

"What's gotten into you? Sonata I can't believe I'm saying this but you're starting to remind me of well myself not too long ago. Sunset said as she watched the portal, before any one else could say anything about the issue further a familiar glowing aura emitted shimmering and emitting a soft hum as a familiar girl tumbled out of a portal.

"Ugh! If I could only learn to land on my hooves...eh feet every time I come here." Twilight Sparkle got up from the ground and brushed the ruffles and dirt off her clothes, Sunset couldn't help but smile at seeing her first friend in this world again even with the other one closer to them now. Twilight had a bagreat on her side note unlike the saddlebags ponies wore, it was full to fat thickness with books.

"Hello again Twily, mhhhh it's always such a wonderful thing to see you here." Sunset said helping her up with a hug. As she did Adagio began to pick up the clearly equestrian in origin books and started reading the titles of a few.

"Secrets Of Necromancy? The Art Of Death?..." They also had big official looking stamps aND etched markings on them, warnings from the Equestrian bureau of ethical magic that said things like; warning for research and historical purposes only! Twilight snatched the book back with a chuckle.

"After the death of Starswirl The Bearded, his will and final decree was the outlawing of dark magic, including necromancy, but books on the subject were kept from being banned or destroyed on the grounds they only be used for history of magic and understanding of how much harm the practice did."

"A year or two of history class in this world and I wish it had the same mentality on some of its own own issues." Sunset said as they all made their way to The Dazzlings house. As they did, they passed the two geeky guys from school; Whiz and Bright Idea, both on their way home from the movies and both of them listening to Total Mayhem covers of the songs God Of Thunder and Iron Man.

The loud primal and angry sounding growls and snarling vocals from the little seashells called earlier buds on the sides of their headstuff making the glare as they tried to find something to talk about. It was Bright who finally asked, "
You got any candy left?" As Whiz pulled a box of malted milk balls from his pocket, he began scarfing them down greedily.

"Piss off, they're mine." He said with a mouth rudely full of chocolate and crunchy candy. Now you must understand that under normal circumstances, Whiz Kiddo and Bright Idea were usually the best of friends, and it was really jarring to see them arguing over something as minor as some candy.

"Okay alright...Mr. Greedy, did you at least like the movie?" Bright only shrugged and scoffed send bits of food flying.

"At least Jyn is better than Rey, I hated her the second I saw her and was just waiting for Kylo Ren to chip her head off with his saber...bitch." TheYou had gotten back from a screening of Rouge One.

"Hey Whiz don't you think that's a bit harsh to say? I mean okay so you didn't like her, I don't think you should be saying that."

"Oh what you like it when Mary Sues come in take the spotlight from the characters that are actually cool?! That's what she was, a total creator's pet that Olympic the director loved because she's his perfect little angel, I bet that's what he sees his kids as you know?" He said his teeth gnashing and grinding Saturday spittle flew with hisses like anew angry jungle cat..or a snake as he spoke.

Bright could also see Whiz clenching and shaking his hands as if he made the motions of viciously strangling and violently shaking the life out of someone. "Whoa dude calm down you're starting to scare me." Whiz only turned to him a fire in his eye as he smiled wickedly at him.

"Oh I'm scaring you? Don't you get it? The time to be soft...to be thinking words and just talking can fix any of the world's problems? Makes me sick! I just wanna...wanna arrrhhh!" He screamed like a man possessed by the devil, spewing angry and vile words as he rimmed his hand through the window of parked car, like a junkie on angel dust the pain seemed none existent all the while screaming "I'll tear out your eyrs; I'll rip out your tongue and I'll claw your face off into confetti and eat the ribbons of skin like strips of raw bacon! Yeeearrrrghhh!"

"My God! Whiz you're gone completely insane" Bright said, but it only riled him up more. The air seemed to grow deathly cold as Whiz wrapped his bleeding glass embedded hand on him and began shaking and strangling the other boy all while snarling and growling almost animalisticly so. Bright clutched a silver Star Of David in his pocket and spoke through gasps for air.

"Oh God of Israel, may Michael be at my right, and Gabriel to my left." Fragments of a prayer his Grandmother would recite to him when she put him to bed every night as a little boy in his one piece pajamas, that number that was forever inked with a triangle on her upper arm caught his eye one night, when he asked what it meant she only told him...when you're ready I will tell you."

During the struggle, Bright did manage to pop the ear buds blaring loud rock music into Whiz'so ears out and in doing so seemed to change him instantly. His face noticeably softened up and he seemed to realize just what he was doing, like sombnimbulis who shoplifts in t
hier trance and wakes up inside the store with the alarms blaring. His hand slackened and while it can take as little as three minutes to die from strangulation not even taking into account brain damage sustained by lack of oxygen.

"Whiz? What...what's going on?" He asked as the pain of his arm finally kicked in. It was like waking up from a nightmare that you feel pain almost so real right up until you wake up and it's gone.

They old book creaked as Twilight flipped it open, it showed a very ancient lithograph image of a stallion with a green coat, as green as the Moss that grows on the barks of dead trees or rotten flesh on a corpse, his mane was limp stringy and white as dusty cobwebs. "This him?" She asked, the others looked from his picture to the clipping from a promo picture for the rockstar's concert. To thier surprise there was no name listed to the entry in Twilight's book.

When everyone nodded at her, Twilight knew things werect only just going from bad to worse.
