Hell, I dislike it a bit simply because of how callous Lyra is. Makes me miss Wham!/Wamuu all the more. Guy was essentially an eldritch horror in humanoid-form after Kars and his Stone Mask experiments (it's implied or spelled out at the end of Battle Tendency via back-story dump that the Pillar Men are exactly as they are because of use of the Stone Mask, while their kin, prior to their slaughter, may have been on the level of the usual sub-terranean vampire-like creatures) and ate a whole platoon of Nazi soldiers in moments, but... he was still an honor-bound fellow, at least, he's the closest to "Token Good Teammate" one could be while still being a villain.
Still, as you said, this Lyra is based of Santana. Santana, in turn, gave no fucks about the lives of "primitives". So, I'm not going to thumbs-down this. That'd be being a jerk.
Yet still I like characters with some morals more than someone just eating people because they/it can. But that's my preference and opinion, though I did indeed read this.
Edit: BTW, no Cross-Over tag? I'm kinda confused there.
Will Lyra meet up with a Modern time Bon Bon, wills he be Lyra's soul mate, and how would they meet up, Lyra exploring around and rescues her, or bumps into her and both start to talk?
7320154 Speaking of silliness... I'm not telling you to insert some other person's OC, but I just formed an image of stupid in my head that undermines the horror aspect of this story. Goes to some diner, some soup-shop, and in cliche happens to be the only patron at that point, while the sole chef, let's call the pegasus Jet Stream, is at the kitchen...
She tries to seduce/eat him, to "pay" for the meal ahead of time. His response, assuming he would not yet be in her grip is thus:
The green pegasus with the pink-and-red-striped pompadour stepped away quickly, yet in a calm manner, and produced a rolled up newspaper from under the register... just to whack the mint-colored mare on the snout with the "club". He didn't even intend it to hurt, more to just annoy or express his own annoyance, it seemed.
Not that it would have hurt her anyway.
"That is my 'no-paper', for the mares that keep doing that. So, to your offer, no. You're a first-time customer, so have that meal on the house... and cover up, will you?" The pegasus stepped away to go down the bar toward his shop's kitchen, with an eye-roll in his obliviousness to the immediate danger he was in. "Body-builders and models, I swear... Think a little muscle and large assets are all it takes to be attractive. There's such a thing as too much for some ponies, myself among them. Seriously, ma'm, normally I'm a polite guy, but how does your back not give out in pain from those?" He sighed, shaking his head passing through the kitchen door just as Lyra's arms would have closed around his body, his wings narrowly missing being grazed by just a centimeter and the door swinging the other direction to smack her hands. "If you really don't have anything else, I have coats and jackets you could borrow."
He turned to face her as she continued her approach, having heard the door creak open again as the persistent mare continued her approach. So, he settled for narrowing his eyes. "First off, stay on the customer-side of the counter, and out of the kitchen. Second, I'll make you some egg-drop soup if you would bother to wait."

Again, not how it would happen, but that's how the character I call Jet Stream would react prior to any death on his part. XD He's not an idiot... but he's not exactly open to mares giving him fake bedroom eyes and proclaiming that she could pay another way.
I apologize for going on this tangent, and understand if you delete this particular post/comment.
7333747 Sorry. Will drop the Crossover tag. At first I thought it wouldn't be necessary, but yeaaaah I've gone way to far into Jojo territory at this point...
Also, I based her more on the abilities Santana displayed, not necessarily his personality. Unlike the other Pillar Men he seemed to manipulate his body more, even using it to make his body like rubber to withstand basic attacks utilizing the Ripple. I would have loved to see what else he did had he survived long enough.
On the note of being the "Token Good Teammate", technically Kars was too. Like, I absolutely LOVE that scene just because seeing a villain not be a murderous psychopath towards his/her own team makes me so happy. Wham even demanded that Kars deliver a punishment on to him for attempting to strike Kars and Kars was just like "Naw dude. I legit forgot that you hate people stepping on your shadow. That was my bad and I'm sorry for being so disrespectful. I promise I'll never step on your shadow like that again."
Like, when I first got to that part I was expecting Wham to be the guy the Pillar Men demonstrated their powers on. But NOPE. Kars was just like, aw shit my b. Got on a bit of a tangent there but I really do love that bit. Anyway, cut her some slack. She didn't have the best upbringing and she suddenly got crazy powers in a room full of douchebags that tried to kill her first. Why not go crazy?
So, I'm not going to thumbs-down this. That'd be being a jerk.
... I stupidly want to see that scene I typed somewhere (Jet's not a douchebag. He's a stallion of standards, including not letting a mare prostrate herself as payment for a mere meal, though he wouldn't have known he was the main course) in this... but it just DOESN'T fit. Plus, it's not my story. Not my call.
And my favorite dynamic in Part 2 was the warriors bond thing Joseph and Wham! had going on. JoJo won... He won't let them deface that victory!
I can understand why some would dislike this.

7333785 Honestly, with this version of Lyra... it would probably be best if nobody actually "meets up" with her.
For their sakes.

You're a good man Charlie Brown.
7334263 Fair enough.

This is pretty grotesque. I like it
Interesting...
