Two comets of orange and purple soared through the dark skies of Republic City. They landed in an abandoned warehouse and dimmed. Standing there was a large, horse-like creature with fangs, fins, and fish tails. One was orange and the other was purple. The two creatures then changed appearances. From fish-horse monsters, they became two human, teenage girls. One had yellow skin and big, orange hair. The other had purple skin and hair (which was twin tails). They were both wearing punk clothes, and looked around their surrounding.
"Are you sure this is the place, Serena?" the purple girl asked.
"Of course, it is, Melody." Serena said. "Just listen."
"Listening to you is precisely why we spent the last couple of years in hiding." Melody said.
"Not this again." Serena sighed.
"I'm just saying, if we did more when we were working for Lord Arcanus," Melody said, "We would've been running the streets."
"Melody, what's done is done." Serena said. "Besides, there was nothing we could've done."
"Oh, you are so dumb!" Melody argued.
"Me?" Serena shouted. "I've been carrying the two of us since Arcanus was defeated! What have you been doing?"
"I know you are, but what am I?" Melody asked.
"That doesn't make any sense, you idiot!"
"YOU DON'T MAKE ANY SENSE, YOU LOSER!"
"Ladies, ladies." a voice called from above. Suddenly, a figure flew in from above. When he emerged, Tartus shined his metal eye.
"Are you the guy who called us here?" Serena asked.
"Indeed, I am." Tartus said.
The girls looked up and saw four green vultures perched at the rafters. They also saw someone in a hood and a mask standing next to a metal pole. The mask looked angry, and there was a red circle on its forehead.
"Well, you better not be wasting our time." Melody said.
"Is that any way to speak to Tartus?" Tartus asked.
"Tartus?" Serena asked. "Where have I heard that name..." She suddenly widened her eyes and gazed at him once more. She was shaking. "It can't be."
"Can't be what?" Melody asked. Serena leaned in and whispered in her ear. Melody widened her eyes in shock. "Seriously! Him?"
"I know I don't look like much," Tartus said, "But believe me when I say, I'm here to help."
"Help?" Serena asked. "Help with what?" She started to take a few steps back looking for an opportunity to escape, but she was cut short when the masked figure punched the air behind her and a fireball came out of their fist. The fireball shot behind Serena causing her to stop moving.
"You want revenge." Tartus said ignoring the fireball. "So do I. I believe that if we work together, we can take our revenge on everyone who ever wronged us."
"Why should we trust you?" Serena asked.
"Because I need your trust." Tartus said. "I can't move on to my master plan without you. I need your particular set of skills that neither Greengear nor Kira over there have."
"I like to think I have a good singing voice." Leaf whispered to himself.
"I don't know." Serena said. "Arcanus warned us about you..."
"Well, Arcanus isn't here anymore, is he?" Tartus asked. "And who's fault is that?" He raised one of his metal fingers and scratched a picture on the wall quickly. "Don't worry, Siren Sisters; when I'm done, I promise that everyone will get exactly what they deserve, especially these." He was finished with his picture, which included Team Avatar, the Mane 6, the Power Ponies, the Mighty Machines, and Discord. "I will make them blame themselves. Turn them against each other. Corrupt those they love. And when the dust settles and they accept that they cannot stop me... I will gladly grant them the mercy of death." He then slashed at the picture leaving long scratches on everyone he sketched. "HAHAHAHAHAAAA!

"They think they're safe in their havens
With their friendship to flaunt
But if we play our cards right
We'll all get what we want
I can't believe I'm finally here
So close to my goal
Taking back what was taken
And finally fulfilling my role
The time is nigh"
"To complete our plan" Jade sang.
"The time is nigh" Tartus sang.
"To take command" Emerald sang.
"Soon, they will pay" Tartus sang,
"For getting in the way
The time is nigh
They faced many enemies in their pasts
NightMare Moon, Arcanus, the Red Lotus
But soon, they'll be overrun
Like never before
WITH WHAT I HAVE IN STORE
ALL OF CREATION AND REALITY
WILL FINALLY BELONG TO MEEEEEEEE
The time is nigh"
"We waited so long" Jade sang.
"The time is nigh" Tartus sang.
"We're standing strong" Leaf sang.
"Soon, they will pay" Tartus sang,
For getting in the way
The time is nigh
YES, THE TIME IS NIGH"
"YOU ARE THE BOSS" Jade sang.
"THE TIME IS NIGH" Tartus sang.
"SOMETHING THAT RHYMES WITH BOSS" Verde sang.
"SOON, THEY WILL PAY" Tartus sang,
"FOR GETTING IN THE WAAAAAAAAAAAY
YES....
THE TIME IS NIIIIIIIIIIIIGH"
