//------------------------------// // Intro Act: Demons Unleashed // Story: My Brave Pony Starfleet Humans STARPOPS // by DakariKingMykan //------------------------------// PROLOGUE Mystic Island: a beautiful large land mass just several miles off the shores of California. On this island were a few small cities, roads, even farmlands and country parries. Also the place that two historically, extraordinary events occurred. One: When Princess Twilight Sparkle emerged from an alternate universe to vanquish the evil deeds of Sunset Shimmer. Sunset had long since been reformed and was doing her best to redeem herself and become a well-to-do girl. But a more extraordinary event was beforehand, when Lightning Dawn, a super Starfleet pony had arrived and helped save the world from the evil Crystallites. Among them was Flash Sentry, whom had since lost his evil powers, and his memories of his former life. Not a day or night had gone by since the people of Mystic Island, nor the entire world did not think back to those moments, and now worked harder than ever to try and maintain peace and justice. Two years had passed since that day, and now… …who knew what new sort of threats and dangers were lurking in the shadows? One night, three sinister looking teenage girls gathered at a café. Each one wearing shimmering gem pendants around their necks, and all three of them just finishing their meals when the waitress came to give them their bill “So who’s paying?” the lady asked. The three girls acted sly “I don’t have money, do you Sonata?” “No, I don’t, Adagio. How about you, Aria…?” Aria shook her head, and the waitress was not amused. “I see… well, and then I’m afraid you leave me no choice.” She then slapped a piled of aprons, hairnets and rubber gloves on the table “Hope you’re good at scrubbing dishes.” The girls grinned sinisterly “Actually…” Adagio said as she and the others stood “We’re good at something else too.” The waitress and people in the café began to feel uneasy as the girls’ gems began to glow, and they each sang a beautiful long note, and suddenly, everyone in the café was completely paralyzed, by magic, which gave the girls their chance to get away. People in the streets saw them fleeing, and immediately assumed the worst. The police were soon on the girl’s trails. The noise of their sirens irritated the girls “…and they call them sirens?” snapped Aria. “Ladies, the usual…” said Adagio, and she and the girls then dashed round a corner. The police turned in their car, but then screeched the car to a halt. “Where’d they go?” “It’s like they just vanished.” Sonata peeked up softly from under a manhole cover, and watched as the car drove away. “Coast is clear.” she said. “Duh, we can hear, ya know.” said Aria. “Will you two zip it?!” snapped Adagio “We were closer to being busted than ever before.” The girls retreated through the sewers where no one would ever think to look for them, and retreated to their secret hideout, which didn’t seem all that disgusting or even putrid, a large stone area that was finished with old beat up chairs and sofas, but still rather messy like adolescent girls would have-- magazines, wrappers, discarded fast food meals they left for the rats to take. “Ooh, I hate living like this!” groaned Aria “I’m sick of this whole world and that were exiled here.” “It’s the worst!” added Sonata. “No, you’re the worst, Sonata.” “I’ll tell you what’s really the worst…” said Adagio “Apart from listening to you two whine all the time, the fact that this world doesn’t suffice us with the energy and magic we need.” She gazed down at her gem “Our magic may help us from avoiding capture or suspicion, but the more we use it, the quicker it all drains away.” The others gazed at their rubies realizing the same thing. “If only this world had Equestrian magic we could absorb.” “Yeah, well it doesn’t.” said Aria “Besides, even if it did I’d rather have something stronger.” “Yeah…” Adagio said sinisterly “A power like no other, one that would guarantee us all that we ever wanted and more-- total dominance.” All three of the girls thought that would be incredible, but alas there was no such power in this world, or even Equestria… or so they thought. Nobody in the entire human world knew of the events that had happened in the dimensional universe. Aria was so frustrated and grumpy that she angrily threw a rock at a wall of their place, causing it to crumple wide open revealing a secret passage going deep into the ground. “Whoa!” they each said with awe in their voices “Was this always here?” Sonata wondered aloud. Unable to resist curiosity, they all headed down the long flight of stairs, using their gems to give off some light. Down, down they went, finally emerging in a hidden cavern filled with cobwebs, dripping stalagmites, bats, rats, and even some puddles, which Sonata stepped in. “Ew…! If I ruin these designer boots I’ll have to steal a new pair.” she groaned. The others didn’t seem to care much about that. “What is this place?” Aria wondered aloud. “It must be centuries of years old.” said Adagio. Suddenly, a swarm of bats lunged at the girls, having been awoken from their slumber. The girls fussed and fidgeted about trying to bat them away, when Sonata slipped on puddle of water and skidded down a long soft slope… WHAPP!! She crashed right into a wooden surface, but didn’t seem to notice. The others raced to her aid and helped her up “Sonata, you okay?” asked Adagio. Sonata felt dizzy “I think so.” “You actually almost had me worried there.” said Aria “I thought you were--” she paused as she looked up. “Whew…! Would you look at that!” The others look up. “Wow!” “Ya really bumped into something big here, Sonata.” said Adagio. It looked like a very large and old sealed door, about thirty feet tall, and sealed with a sacred marking that the girls recognized all too well. “That’s an ancient Equestrian seal.” said Aria. The carvings on the door seemed to be pictures depicting a story in ancient Equestrian times, but the centuries had withered the drawings away making them impossible to decipher, but they did know that the seal on the door could only be broken by a big burst of Equestrian magic, which they could give. “Let’s open it.” said Adagio. The others eagerly agreed. A door that size, and sealed with Equestrian magic; it had to have something really big and possibly important locked inside-- Maybe treasure or even a hidden power… or even something else! The girls stood together combining the magic of their gems together, and broke the seal on the door. At once the crypt began to rumble as the door began to glow and slowly slide open. Then, waves of dark smoke spewed out from the door, frightening the girls. “What’s going on?!” cried Sonata. The others were too scared to answered, and there, right before all three of them appeared five multicolored and ferocious looking creatures-- demons. Their leader, the red one, was Blaze: A muscular demon, with fire for his hair, and deadly demon wings, and searing claws. Then there was Boomer, the blackish-grey one: Big and burly but rather solid looking like stone and his body was covered in spikes and quills. Scales, the blue one: He had long blue and scaly hair which was actually a serpent. He had horrible fangs, and hissed when he often spoke. Tempest, the yellow one: He had sharp looking wings, and also powerful claws and talons as well as sharp fangs. And Slick, the green one: He seemed to be made up of slimly green shapeshifting goop. All five of them stretched out and flexed their bodies. “We’re free!” snarled Tempest “We’re finally outta that filthy prison.” “Yes, but whom do we have to thank for this?” asked Blaze. Vibrato’s snake eyes glowed as he spotted the girls “I think I sssseee who…” he hissed. The five demons approached the girls. Sonata and Aria began to scoot away in fear, but Adagio urged them not to. “Whoever or whatever you guys are… take this!” Then she and the others began to sing. However, their magic seemed to have no effect on the demons at all. “What the--!” cried Aria. “This is impossible.” added Sonata. On an on the girls kept whining and complaining… Slick threw a few slime balls, splat, against their mouths to shut them up. “Ha! You dare to try and control us with such pitiful magic?” Boomer growled “We’re the Demonites, and we practically invented that sort of stuff.” “I say we show them just what real magic is all about.” said Tempest as he sharpened his claws. The girls pulled the slime from their mouths, but felt ready to run, until Blaze stepped forth. “Wait…!” he said to his comrades “I suppose we do owe some gratitude. After all, we’re it not for them we’d still be rotting behind this cursed door.” The girls suddenly seemed interested and Blaze extended his searing hand to the girls. “Perhaps we can help you just as you helped us.” His comrades grinned and nodded sinisterly, and the girls were very interested now. “What did you have in mind?” asked Adagio as she took Blaze’s hand, and it burned her. “Ow!” The five demons snickered sinisterly. The Sirens had led their new comrades, The Demonites, to their sewer grotto. “Gee, you’d think stuff had changed more in five-thousand years.” said Tempest. “Hey!” snapped Sonata “At least we have a home. You guys were just sealed behind that door.” “Ya, wanna make something of it?” hissed Slick. “Quiet!” snapped Blaze. His entire body flared brightly with his temper. Then it cooled down “You’re giving me such a migraine. We’re all allies now, are we not?” “Fine!” remarked Adagio “But what are we going to do? We need magic and so do you guys.” “Yesssss…” hissed Scales “Though our powers ssssseem strong already, we have been locked up for ssssso long, our powers have diminished immensssssely.” Tempest nodded “In order for us to truly carry out our will and conquer this world, we’ll have to restore our powers back to full, and we can only do so be acquiring energy.” “Energy?” asked Aria. “Yes, pure human energy.” said Blaze “Despite the primitiveness of your powers…” The girls looked cross… “… Together-- with your special talents, and our cunning and super abilities-- we shall gain such power, that the world as you know it will be defenseless, and we shall grow virtually invincible.” “Ah-huh…” just one thing “We need Equestrian magic, not energy. Sure it’s kept us going, but it’s not what we need.” “We know perfectly well of Equestrian magic…” said Boomer “The very same magic we underestimated before, which locked us behind that stuffy little door, and watching the world around us evolve as we rotted in what seemed like an eternity of boredom!!” As his voice got louder, the very Earth seemed to quake slightly… …The people above on the island felt the tremors. Then, they were gone, and everyone just brushed it off and went back their own businesses. Boomer was breathing softly in attempt to control his temper “Forgive me; I was once able to bring down whole mountains that way.” The girls were impressed, and shocked! “You guys were really THAT powerful?” asked Adagio “And I thought only Equestrian’s had such power.” “Nevertheless…” said Blaze “Form what you have told us, the island above has all the right resources we can use to our advantage. If you agree to help us, we promise you a power unlike anything you have ever seen in your dizziest daydreams.” “Um… can we, think about this a second?” asked Sonata. The girls then spoke privately in the corner, whispering to one another. “I don’t know…” said Aria “These guys are pretty cool, too cool even.” “You’re paranoid.” said Adagio “This is the chance we’ve been waiting for. We’ll finally be able to conquer this miserable world, and finally get all that we’ve been craving for.” Sonata tried to protest “Yeah, but what if they--” she was cut up by Adagio putting her finger to her lips “Look, you can do what you want. I know where I’m going, and while you two are still wandering these filthy sewers with your dying magic and still scraping for food, I’ll be sitting in luxury, ruling the world thanks to these guys.” Unable to argue with that, the others decided to go along. They all turned to face the demons. “Is that a yes…?” asked Blaze. Adagio nodded, and the others nodded. The demons snickered, and with that, they all prepared to depart for the surface. “Wait!” cried Aria “How do you guys expect to go around looking like… you know…” “Ah, of course.” said Blaze “Slick, do your thing.” “Comin’ right up…” said Slick, and he began to sniff deeply, and again, and again. The girls all felt sick, knowing what he was about to do, and nearly barfed when they saw him spit four balls of green slime on the faces of the others. “EWW!” cried Sonata “Talk about gross!” groaned Aria. “Wait… look.” said Adagio, and she and others watched as the bits of slime seemed to bubble and expand covering the demons from head to toe, and in a bright flash of light… …the girls were speechless. Scales snickered “I trussssst that you find ussss a little lesssss inconssspicuousss now?” The girls were practically blushing, and then their wicked grins showed, and they began to laugh along with the demons.
