Dr. Blood Hound looked at the wreckage of his car from the safety of the alley way and regretted agreeing to drive all three of his neighbors down town to their group therapy appointment when their car wouldn't start. It had been Aria that noticed people running first, but they had all got out of the car and ran to the alley way when the police patrol car had landed behind the car. They had just made it when the second police car had slammed into his car. Seeing how the alley was a dead end he tried the doors only to find them locked and banging on them didn't work.

Given no choice, he looked around the corner towards whatever was happening and saw Sunset Shimmer in the air gripping two of the Rainbooms by their clothing as she inhaled deeply of something coming off of them as bullets the police were firing seemed to stop just short of them. As she sucked whatever it was from them, their bodies shriveled up as she sprouted wings made of fire and horns. Finally she dropped what was left of the purple haired one and the rainbow haired one before throwing out her arms and sending flames everywhere.

Adagio had yanked him back into the alley just before the wave of fire washed past it. Aria mentioned something about 'Rage Shift' and just waiting until she burned through all her magic and shifted back. When he told them about her sucking Applejack and the other two until they were shriveled husks all three of them flinched. It was Sonata that said if they had their gems or even some of the fragments they could drain her. Asking about it got the same story about them being the sirens and he had been about to say something when they described their red gems being shattered a month ago. He remembered that there had been a bag of red gem fragments sent to the police department by the principal of Canterlot Highschool with the code word for the weird stuff that happened in the city. They had called him in, but he wasn't a gemologist. So they locked them up with all the other weird stuff that had showed up over the years in a room in the police headquarters basement. Only he remembered what the myths said about sirens and the things Sonata said they had done when he thought she was crazy.

Looking around the corner he saw Sunset enter the building and heard the gun shots and screaming. Finally he asked them what would happen if she got the last two? Adagio said she'd want an ocean between her and ground zero and Aria said a portal back home and closing it behind them would be better. Ignoring the part about the portal, he asked them if they had the fragments could they stop her? No, if the gems were whole they could, but the best they could do with fragments was drain her until she was weak enough that she could be hurt and hope she wasn't good at healing magic. Telling them about her fight with the man in the barn and how it took her around about two minutes to heal confirmed she wasn't very good at it. Finally he decided and told them he knew where the fragments were. When they asked him where he just pointed to the police headquarters as a wall was blown out on the third floor.

A few minutes later they entered the building and were met with the sight of scorch marks, bloody smears, a smashed open front counter, body parts, and flickering lights. She had literally tore her way into the building and through anything and anyone that got in her way. Somewhere above them they could hear her wrecking something as they crept through the building towards the elevators. At one point he stopped Aria from taking a gun from the floor and pointed out that the CPD was the first city testing out police issued smart guns and unless she was a cop or planned to throw it at someone it would be useless. After that he grabbed them several cans of pepper spray since even the taser guns had been upgraded to smart guns. If nothing else it made them feel safer.

Ignoring the wrecked elevators, he lead them down the stairs next to them as they heard something collapse above them. When they reach the next floor down Sonata tried to open the door, but he stopped her, pointing out it was the floor where all the jail cells were and they wanted the second basement. Besides something didn't seem right, sure Canterlot wasn't a major city, but he knew there should be a few cells occupied and they should be screaming to be let out with all the noise from up stairs going on. They had just got to the second basement the lights began to flicker as they heard something crash in the stair well above them.

From somewhere high above them they heard a voice call out in a crazy sing song voice:

Little ponies, little ponies, let me come in.

Before she could say anything, Adagio and Aria slapped their hands over Sonata's mouth and Aria hissed something about not playing 'Whose at the Door' with the power drunk, rage shifted, insane, teenage demon. Then somewhere above them they heard gun fire and screaming. Sonata nodded vigorously before they took their hands off her mouth.

Quietly they followed him through the door and down the hall as the sounds of the fighting died down. Just past the electrical room was a nondescript door with a keypad and a sign 'Sewer Access #37: Authorized Personal Only'. He had just punched the first two numbers in when the door was yanked open and he found the lead detective and Shining Armor's guns pointed at him. Behind them was the last two Rainbooms, Applebloom and two other girls her age, and a girl wearing a Crystal Prep uniform and glasses. After he explained the plan there had been a brief argument with Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie, but given the choice between a hell bent demonic Sunset Shimmer that was after them and might destroy the world or giving the fragments back to the sirens they agreed. The lead detective wasn't happy about it, but he finally handed the bag over to them.

The change was immediate as their hair, skin, and eye color went from being dull and muted to bright and full of life. Somewhere above them was the sound of gun fire and they began to sing. That was when they heard Sunset scream, the sound of something breaking, and then quiet as Aria said she was gone. Slowly they made their way back up the stairs and meet the cops she had been fighting. As soon as their bullets started hurting her she blew out a wall and flew away.

Through a broken wall Blood Hound, the last 30 police officers in the city, the last two Rainbooms, Shining Armor's little sister, all three girls who had been Anon-a-miss, and the sirens watched the sun set and knowing it wasn't over yet. It wouldn't be over until Sunset Shimmer was stopped one way or another.
