Two months have passed since the Incident of Camp Everfree and Nezha's Mutant Rebellion...
United Nation, with the exceptional of Cuba, have declared that both Mutants and Transformers' migration and living on Earth illegal. Be either the good or evil species, they will be hunted down or captured alive for further uses by the government. The mission have been carried out by newly formed hunting party and government black operation called Transformers Reaction Force or its acronym - The TRF.
Luckily, both Dragon Strike Force and Mane Seven have been excluded since the government have formed peace treaty with Equestria. G.I. Joe did not take part of it and declined the mission as their main concern is keeping their eyes on Cobra Command. Both Autobots and Decepticons have disappeared from sights since Optimus Prime left the Earth for finding and hunting down the 'Creator'.
At Canterlot High School's parking area, Mane Seven were washing and cleaning a crimson pickup truck. Applejack, Rainbow and Sunset were scrubbing bubbling soap on the truck. Fluttershy sprayed the water on it. Rarity used the hair dry blower in drying up the truck. Pinkie and Cutie Mark Crusaders used the clothes for wiping and drying it out. Twilight was checking up on the payment from the money box.
As soon as they washed and dried up the pickup truck, Twilight received the payment from Big Mac, who is the owner and driver of the truck. Applejack's older brother smiled and nodded a bit before driving it off.
"Sweet! More cash to add to the stash!" Rainbow exclaimed happily.
Pinkie Pie and Cutie Mark Crusaders cheered, "Woo-hoo!"
Rarity sighed in exhaustion, "How about a little break? All of this sunshine and suds are doing a number on my hair."
Mane Seven and Cutie Mark Crusaders chatted and nodded in agreement. They all taken a break. Applejack brought the fridge box to her friends, letting them to drink either apple cider and soda. And at the same time, Twilight was checking and calculating the money she and her friends have collected from the customers.
"Have we raised enough to make all the repairs to Camp Everfree?" Sunset asked.
Twilight sighed, "We've only raised half. I counted the money four times just to be sure."
Everyone groaned in disappointment and annoyance. Although Mane Seven and their allies have saved the Gloriosa and Timber's Camp Everfree from Filthy Rich buying it, damages on the camp have been severed from the battle against the Ultimate Mutant Warriors. So, they worked hard to earn more money to help their friends.
"I can't believe it. This is all for nothing." Scootaloo asked in annoyance and frustration.
Apple Bloom groaned, "I'm so tired now..."
"It's all right. We can just wash more cars. There's gotta be some we missed." Applejack said confidently. She turned and looked at the parking area. It's empty now. She gulped, "Okay, maybe not..."
"I, uh, think we're gonna have to come up with a new plan." Sunset said in concern.
"But we're running out of time! The camp fundraising deadline is next week." Rainbow asked in concern and frustration, "Pinkie Pie's already hosted a bake sale, Laxtinct's working on some kind of 'circus act' with Pabu, Twilight and Applejack had that farming day care, and Sunset Shimmer and I planned this car wash."
"What about other guys?" Scootaloo asked in concern.
Rainbow sighed while shaking her head, "Not gonna help us. Shadow Dragon, Blazefist and Flare Tiger are doing spy mission for Strikespell. Aqua headed back to Hawaii about her big brother Brave's got accident from the wrestling tournament. Shorty and his sisters are repairing our Armor Guardians. Saber and Tailtech are working on the mystery case again. Terrorcreep is nowhere. Icy has gone back home to visit her family. Unbelievable..."
"So, what are we gonna do now?" Sweetie Belle asked in concern.
"What about asking Strikespell? We can ask him for fund?" Nyx suggested.
Twilight sighed, "I tried. But he rejected it because the fund is meant to be used for military and government affairs only, not campaign or charity." She then glared at Rainbow, "He was also pissed out because somebody messed up with his family heirloom..."
"I said I was sorry!" Rainbow exclaimed in frustration and annoyance, "Geez..."
"Not to worry, darlings. It's my turn to devise a plan, and I already have something amazing in mind." Rarity said proudly and happily, "It will be the most profitable of all of our fundraising events! The pièce de résistance!"
"Really? You think so?" Fluttershy asked hopefully.
Rarity nodded happily, "Meet me in the music room later this afternoon, and I will explain everything."
"Whatever it is, it's better than using Wheelie and Brains' idea," Rainbow commented with annoyed tone, "I mean I know they want to help but bringing a Decepticon here for car wash was a stupid idea, and not to mention, that crazy monster literally stole the money from bank."
Applejack sighed, "Yeah, that is true. Still, why would Dreadbot want the money for?"
Sunset shrugged, "I have no idea."
Her friends chatted and nodded in understanding and agreement. As most of them have left the school, Sweetie Belle remained behind for noticing her older sister's smiling and waving back uneasily to her friends.
"You have no idea, at all?" Sweetie Belle asked suspiciously.
Rarity yelped in fear and worry, "How did you know?!"
"You're my sister, duh. I know you well."
"Oh! What am I gonna do?!"
Unknown to Rarity and Sweetie Belle, Fluttershy was eavesdropping on them behind the school walls. She looked worry about her friend.
"Oh, Rarity..." Fluttershy said in concern.
Fluttershy followed Rarity and Sweetie Belle to the shopping mall. And at the same time, she avoided them by hiding behind the walls or pretended to be a customer for checking and buying stuffs. Eventually, they came across to the dress shop. Fluttershy is currently hiding inside the pet shop while watching and eavesdropping on them.
"Anything?" Sweetie Belle asked hopefully.
Rarity shook her head, "Oh, rats. Three hours and still no ideas for a lucrative last-minute fundraiser." She sighed, "Usually, window-shopping inspires me."
"Are you a musician?" TV Announcer's voice asked, attracting both Rarity and Sweetie Belle to look at it. It shown the picture of people dancing and singing harmonically and happily. It surprised them. He continued, "Do you and friends love to dance? Are you unique, cool, stylish? Do you want to win a cash prize?"
Sweetie Belle gasped, "Rarity, this could be it!"
"Oh my..." Rarity said in surprise.
"Then enter the Canterlot Mall Chance to Prance Competition! All you need is a music video of your own original song and dance. Then you could be prancing your way to first prize! Sign up now at the booth near the Aunt Orange smoothie kiosk."
"It's perfect!" Rarity exclaimed happily. She turned and found a red shiny dress-like with dots. As if an inspiration has hit her head, she squealed happily, "Oh, we're certain to win!"
"Do it, Rarity!" Fluttershy's voice exclaimed in agreement. It surprised Rarity and Sweetie Belle to look at her. She yelped, "Hi!"
"How long have you been hearing?" Rarity asked in concern.
Fluttershy giggled uneasily, "All of it. But don't worry, I didn't tell anyone about it. But I agreed we should do it."
"Really?"
"Yes. I'm sure girls would love it too."
"That's great! Let's sign off now!"
Rarity, Fluttershy and Sweetie Belle headed off to Aunt Orange Smoothie kiosk, which was located at the food court. Rarity signed on the participant form. Suddenly, a familiar voice called.
"Rarity! What a nice surprise!" Sour Sweet'e voice spoke sweetly. Fluttershy, Rarity and even Sweetie Belle got surprise and turned to their back. They found Sour Sweet, Sunny Flare and Indigo Zap stood before them. She narrowed her eyes in annoyance to remark sourly, "Not."
"Sour Sweet! Sunny Flare! Indigo Zap!" Rarity greeted their former rivals, "Why, it's been ages."
"Ages? It's just eight months, you know," Indigo corrected calmly.
"Is that all? Wow!" Rarity asked in surprise before giggled uneasily, "How is everything over at Crystal Prep Academy?"
Sunny Flare smiled, "Oh, things at CPA have never been better since Principal Cadance took over."
Sour Sweet nodded in agreement, "Yeah. She's going to let us have the autumn dance on a yacht, if we raise the money."
"Ooh, that sounds nice of you," Fluttershy commented in surprise.
"So, you're signing up for the 'Chance to Prance' contest, too?" Indigo asked in surprise. Rarity nodded in confirmation. She whistled, "So, are we. This is so awesome! Looks like we're competing again! Just like Friendship Games."
Sweetie Belle hummed in agreement, "Yeah, it is. Just hope that you guys are not gonna be competitive on us again."
"Of course not. That is old us. But this is new us for being humble and nice students," Sour Sweet said calmly before shown her annoyed looks, "If that's what worried you."
"And also, we're not gonna cheat. Don't worry so much, dearie," Sunny Flare said calmly.
"I assume you already have a video concept figured out. The competition's going to be pret-ty fierce." Sour Sweet asked curiously.
"Yes, it came to me as soon as I saw that gorgeous red ruffled ensemble on the way over here." Rarity said calmly, "Each member of the Rainbooms is going to dance in a different style—like flamenco, hip-hop, or street ballet—and we'll wear costumes to match each genre. Designed by yours truly, of course."
Sweetie Belle giggled happily, "Yeah. When I think about it, it sounded so cute."
"It's more like a great concept," Sunny Flare commented, "I hate to admit it, Rarity. You're indeed creative and best fashion designer. I am so jealous of you because I'm good at technology."
Sour Sweet nodded in agreement, "Yeah, heh, I guess it's okay. If you're going for way too over-the-top."
Rarity smiled, "Thanks! So, what's your concept?"
Sour Sweet sighed, "No. No concept yet." She groaned a bit, "Even though we're good dancer, we still got no music concept and song to think of."
"Really? You're all good at dancing?" Fluttershy asked in surprise and amazement.
Sunny Flare nodded, "Yeah, we are. But our best dancer and singer has to goes to Sour Sweet and Lemon Zest."
Sour Sweet scoffed, "Please, you're all too kind. But still, we don't have the song or concept to use..."
"Maybe... Maybe not," Indigo said thoughtfully, "Instead of competition, we work together as a team."
"Really?!" Everyone asked in surprise and shock.
Indigo nodded, "Yeah. Consider this to make up from the mess we make from Friendship Games. It's something that we're not proud of."
"Actually, it's mostly me, Sour Sweet, Sugarcoat and others aren't proud of," Sunny Flare corrected Indigo, "After all, both you and Lemon Zest protested the idea in the first place."
Sour Sweet sighed in defeat, "They have the point again. And also, we didn't want to let our classmates down. We promised them that we'll held the autumn dance on yacht."
Rarity hummed in concern and uncertain. Fluttershy smiled, "I think it's a great idea." Everyone was surprised by her answer. She continued, "Think about it. We maybe good at creating song and singing, but we'd never done dancing before."
Sweetie Belle nodded, "Fluttershy's right. None of you all have ever dance before."
"I suppose it's true. We don't want to be embarrassed in front of camera," Rarity said in concern. She the smiled, "I suppose teaming up with Crystal Prep would be best solution to win the prize."
"Really?!" Crystal Prep Students asked in surprise.
Rarity nodded, "Yes. You teach us how to dance, while we teach you how to sing. That'll be good enough?"
Crystal Prep Students looked at each other for the moment. They smiled happily to agree with it. Indigo smiled, "You're on, Rare. We'll bring Sugarcoat and Lemon."
"Good. Meet us at the Canterlot High School's music room." Rarity said calmly, "Hopefully, I can bring Shorty with me since he's good at visual and directing the video. He did help me with music video advertisement for Carousal Boutique."
Fluttershy nodded, "That's a wonderful idea. Let's go then."
Crystal Prep Students and Canterlot High Students turned and returned to their school for a special meeting. However, unknown to anyone, they're being watched and eavesdropped by a mysterious hooded coat with a white Japanese Fox-like mask to cover her face, golden metallic glove-like and a strange symbol of red diamond with demonic wings-like on both sides, who was sitting down on table as she was eating fried chickens and grape soda.
"Interesting... Looks like I have found some source to restore my powers..." The mysterious figure said calmly and amusingly. She took a big chunk of fried chicken. She hummed, "Delicious. I'd never think these mortals are capable of cooking more delicious. I'd be sure that I have the ingredients to cook Fried Mortal Meats. It would make them more delicious..."
2pm in the afternoon; Mane Seven, Cutie Mark Crusaders, Shadow Five, Shorty and Laxtinct met up and gathered inside the music room. The rest of Dragon Strike Force is unavailable as they're still dealing with some matters on their hands now. Rarity explained her ideas of the fundraiser for Camp Everfree, and also including the reason of why Crystal Prep joining the team as well.
"See? It's a wonderful plan." Rarity said proudly and happily, "We'll write some lyrics for our new song, and we'll choreograph some dance moves. Then our video will win a cash prize, and voilà!"
"Piece of pie," Sour Sweet said confidently.
"Piece of cake, actually," Sugarcoat corrected firmly yet bluntly. She gained Sour Sweet's dry glare at her. She scoffed, "Even so, is it possible for both of our team to team up and work on the video? We're not on best term since the Friendship Game especially what we did with Twilight."
Twilight looked a bit of ashamed, who was sitting down on the musical stage's stairs. Applejack sat down as well. She patted her childhood friend, "Sugarcoat does have the point. It might give some uncomfortable for both of our team."
Nyx nodded, "Yeah. Not easy to forget..."
Sunset sighed, "I know that feeling..."
"Well, if you ask me, Crystal Prep has got nothin' on CHS! I love it here!" Spike said playfully and happily. He then found Shadow Five looked at him. He whined a bit, "No offense."
Shadow Five groaned, "None taken..."
"And not to mention, we'd never dance before," Pinkie added in.
Lemon Zest nodded, "Yeah. We're not good at singing too. Well, except me and Sour Sweet, we're both cool with singing. From what we can tell, we're screwed."
"So, you're saying teaming up is bad idea?" Sunny Flare asked suspiciously.
"Oh! Don't be ridiculous, darling. I'm sure we can work this out," Rarity said firmly and calmly. Everyone looked surprise and shocked. She continued, "When we have flaws, we help each other out like Crystal Prep can teach us the dancing while we help them with singing."
"Definitely not a problem, right?" Indigo asked, "I mean we make impossible possible, right?"
"That is right." Shorty said in agreement, "I've worked with many actors and crews on film sets. They have some issues with each other and their own flaws. But together, we can achieve it. So, Rarity's and Crystal Prep's concepts and teamwork are indeed excellent idea. We should put our differences aside and work together to achieve our goal. I would be glad to help you all out."
"What about your Armor Guardians' repairs?" Laxtinct asked in concern, "Shouldn't you finish it?"
"It can wait," Shorty said calmly before groaned, "Besides, my sisters and Zeek got it covered. And not to mention, I don't have enough materials and tools to repair Armor Guardians.
"So, you think it will work?" Nyx asked.
"Combining our talents is the most logical thing to do." Sugarcoat remarked proudly.
Sunny Flare nodded, "Yes, dearie. We'll make one epic music video together."
"Couldn't agree more..." Applejack agreed before patted Twilight's shoulder, "Right, Twilight?"
Twilight nodded nervously, "Yeah. I guess so."
"So, what are we waiting for?" Apple Bloom asked impatiently.
"Let's get singing and dancing!" Scootaloo cheered happily.
The girls chatted and cheered happily as they can't wait to start singing and dancing for music video.
"Now, hold on, girls," Rarity said firmly. Everyone looked at her. She continued, "before we get started with the choreographing of our dance moves and [mumbling], there's just one tiny, teeny-weensey, little thing I forgot to mention."
"The budget for our big project?" Shorty asked suspiciously.
Rarity nodded nervously, "I would need to use our fundraiser money to buy costume materials for the video!"
"Wow... That's a lot of money for one big project..." Sweetie Belle remarked, "No wonder, making filmmaking for two years was so long and not easy..."
Rarity nodded, "That's right. We have to spend it carefully, or else we lose it all."
"I hate to imagine the effort we have put on for our music video is for nothing," Sugarcoat said bluntly and dryly, "We can't afford of that problem."
"How much is the grand prize worth?" Sunset asked.
"More than double what we need to fix up Camp Everfree and booking Crystal Prep's autumn dance for yacht!" Rarity said firmly. She then looked at Sour Sweet, "That's my promise."
Rainbow smirked, "Hah! Then of course you can use the money for costumes!"
"Why not ask Secretary Strikespell for the budget?" Laxtinct asked stupidly. Everyone glared at him in annoyance. He gulped in concern, "Oh! Right. I forgot..."
Twilight took her calculator out and calculated it, "According to my calculations, if we lend Rarity the funds we've already raised, we stand to gain four times as much money as we have now." Everyone chatted and cheered happily. She hummed in concern, "But if we lose the video contest, we'll be completely back to square one and zero dollars. Anyone else think this is an awfully risky endeavor?"
Everyone uneasily and worriedly looked at her. Twilight looked shock and uneasy of their reaction at her and the calculation of risks.
Applejack cleared her throat as she whispered to Twilight, "Twi, remember what I taught you about not thinking of bad stuffs?"
"Oh, right..." Twilight said in realization, "Sorry. Be positive, and not letting bad stuffs beat us. So, let's do it?"
"But before we do anything," Rainbow said firmly as she turned and looked at Indigo, "Hope you're not trying to bail us out, steal our ideas or even cheated on us. Coz if you do, I'll tell your big brother about it."
Indigo scoffed, "Relax, Dash. Not gonna happen. Stealing and being dishonest is so not our way. That's not who we are anymore."
"Since that's clear," Lemon Zest said calmly, "Who's ready to shoot our winning dance music video?"
Everyone cheered wildly and happily as Pinkie cheered, "Best! Music! Video! Idea ever!"
Shorty smiled, "Alright. Let's make the best out of it."
Unknown to anyone, they're being watched and eavesdropped by the shadowy figure with fox mask from the windows. She has seen everything. She smirked darkly before disappeared at once. This caused Spike alerted and worried as he couldn't have sworn that he has picked up the scent.
Two weeks have passed,
Mane Seven and their friends spent some of the budgets for music video preparation such as buying and gathering filmmaking camera, tools and gears, setting up the dance stage, buying meals and refreshment, buying fabric materials for making fashion clothes, writing down the songs and preparing their dancing move set.
The location they chose for music video is Canterlot High School's gym. The colorful stage is filled and covered with lighting truss, ceiling's hanging shiny diamond props and balloons, colorful rainbow prop and cloud props. On the floor, it has the large chunks of crystallized diamonds-like floor dance with colorful LED boxes on it. The gym is covered by more balloons, shiny diamond hanging props, streamers, ribbons, curtains, column pillars and stage speakers.
Mane Seven and Shadow Five have worn their dresses ready for the music video.
- Sunset worn a red and yellow dress with a mini skirt, black sharped shoulder pads-like on dress and a sunset symbol on her waist, golden bracelets and red-yellow heels. Her hair is tied up in bun-shape.

Shorty, Laxtinct, Cutie Mark Crusaders and even Spike have set their filmmaking camera and gears up. They're all ready for shooting the video.
Sweetie Belle squealed excitedly and happily, "This is so excited! I can't wait to see what they have come up with dancing."
"And not to mention, the songs they have made. I've always love their songs a lot!" Apple Bloom exclaimed happily.
Scootaloo nodded, "Yeah. This is so gonna be awesome!"
"And don't forget, their dresses are beautiful and awesome," Nyx commented happily. She used her phone to take a selfie of her older sister's dress. She emailed it to Shadow Dragon. She sighed, "Too bad that Shadow Dragon and Lance missed this out. They would be crazy."
Spike chuckled a bit, "It would be worth it. Good thing that we didn't bring Wheelie and Brains here. The last thing we want is those two snooping around and taking peak on girls. That is rude."
Cutie Mark Crusaders groaned, "Yeah..."
Rarity and her friends were chatting and discussing of what to practice - singing music or dancing.
"Anybody else care to work on some music?" Rarity asked happily.
Sour Sweet scoffed, "We'll get to it after I teach you some dance moves."
"Music first."
"Dance first."
"Music first!"
"Dance first!"
"Music first!"
"Dance first!"
"Girls, please!" Shorty shouted in annoyance. Everyone turned and looked at him. He sighed, "It doesn't matter what goes first. As long we practice by singing and dancing, everything will be fine. Got it?"
"Yes. We got it..." Rarity and Sour Sweet said calmly before giggled uneasily.
"Wow. Your boyfriend always takes filmmaking very serious?" Sour Sweet asked in surprise.
Rarity sighed, "You have no idea. He's very serious for either science or filmmaking projects. He'd never fails. He did help me with advertisement. The Carousal Boutique got a big hits."
"Wow... I am so jealous..." Sour Sweet remarked in surprise.
"To be honest, Applejack, I didn't think that Shorty is good at filmmaking," Twilight whispered to Applejack, "I've always known him to be best on science projects. His family are always the best with that career."
Applejack nodded in agreement, "You and me both, Twi."
"Okay, everyone," Shorty said firmly as he took his director's seat, "We'll start with practice first before we start shooting the video. We don't want some mistakes. We have five more days before submitting the music video. Do your best!"
"You heard the director! Take your position!" Laxtinct called out firmly yet nervously through loudspeaker.
With orders have been given, both Mane Seven and Shadow Five quickly take their positions. They all are ready to begin dancing and singing the song.
Shorty cleared his throat as he gave the order, "Light! Camera! Action!"
Sweetie Bell and Nyx turned on the stage lights, which aimed and flashed on Mane Seven and Shadow Five. Scootaloo and Apple Bloom readied to use film cameras for shooting. Laxtinct readied action clipboard. With Shorty has given the command, he smacked it. However, his thumb get smacked by the clipboard's smack, causing him to yelp and scream in pain.
Mane Seven and Shadow Five began their practicing on both singing and dancing. Shorty and his small film crew were rolling the camera and recording the whole event. Though they have made some mistakes and gotten into argument with each other, they managed to put their differences aside and redo their work again and again until they got it right and perfect. Cutie Mark Crusaders did their best to help their friends by providing aids, refreshment and working on filming.
Despite how hard work and serious they have put for the music video, Mane Seven and their friends enjoyed it very much. However, like before, the mysterious hooded figure with fox mask appeared in shadowy form from the window. She witnessed and listened to the event carefully as if she was enjoying the entertainment show.
Three days have passed, Mane Seven and their friends have complete most of the scenes for dancing and singing. They still have the ending scene to complete. Now, they're taking a whole evening off. Tomorrow morning will be their last to complete it. However, the shadow figure was looking at both Rarity and Sour Sweet, who both smiled and chatted happily about dance and singing.
The masked fox figure smirked, "Both of them are perfect..."
In the late evening, Fluttershy has returned to home, just in time. She fed some animals especially Angel to have their dinner. She then headed to the kitchen to have hers. After finishing dinner, she climbed up the stairs and entered the bathroom.
As she turned on the bathtub's hot water, she poured some bath gel into it, making the tub filled with bubbling hot water. She then removed her clothes and undies. Seeing the tub is almost full, she turned the tap off. Feeling the water's hot temperature, she slowly entered the tub before lying down on it. And at the same time, she sighed in relief as she felt relaxed. She has never been so tired after practicing and performing dancing and singing for music video. But it worth everything for her friends and Camp Everfree fundraiser.
As she was enjoying rest and relaxation, she then heard the door was opened. Fluttershy turned her head to back, where she found Terrorcreep entered the bathroom. She smiled happily to see him. He removed his coat and clothes. He approached to the bathtub before squatting down while looking at her. He leaned towards her while smiling happily to his girlfriend.
"Welcome home, Terrorcreep," Fluttershy greeted warmly.
Both Fluttershy and Terrorcreep gave each other a warm and passionate kiss for the moment. They departed at once. As she moved aside, allowing her boyfriend slowly entered the hot bathtub. She then laid on his body. He then gently and calmly rubbed one of her breast and her stomach, making her relax and happy. She has her face gently nuzzled his face, and also kissing his lips for the moment. And at the same time, he has his bottom gently rubbed on hers, making her more relax and happy as well.
After their long bath, Terrorcreep emerged from the hot tub. He turned and helped Fluttershy out of it. He then used the towel to wipe and dry her out. He then wiped his as well. As she finished combing her hair, she turned and looked at him. He held and carried her, leveling hers close to his chest and bottom. He then kissed and licked on her neck, making her to giggle a bit. And at the same time, he was shaking his body against hers, making her moan happily.
While nuzzling and shaking each other bodies for long moment, Terrorcreep marched out and headed towards the bedroom. He then lowered her down before turned her to the front. He has his bottom touched hers while touching and rubbing her breast gently calmly. This has made her more moan and groaned happily. She then turned her head to him, giving a long passionate kiss. This has made him moaned happily as well. He then carried her up again for the moment of shaking their bodies. He sat down on the bed. He laid down, allowing her shook her bottom against his while he rubbed gently on her breast for the moment. Terrorcreep grabbed and lowered Fluttershy down for them to kiss and nuzzle their bodies passionately and happily as long as they wanted.
Becoming exhausted and tired from having great time with each other, both Terrorcreep and Fluttershy sighed as they stopped at once. Instead of letting her go, he hugged and held close against his chest. He then gave her a kiss by lips.
"T-That was great..." Fluttershy commented with a sigh, "We haven't done it for a while, haven't we?"
"Yeah..." Terrorcreep agreed before nuzzle her face, "By the way, that was a great dress for the music video. I like it."
Fluttershy blushed in red, "Thanks. I wasn't sure if you did get the picture or not. But I'm glad you did." Terrorcreep smiled at her. She blushed again before cleared her throat, "By the way... I was wondering, Terrorcreep..."
"You wonder if I'm available," Terrorcreep asked. He smiled, "I am, Fluttershy. Don't worry, I wouldn't miss it."
Fluttershy smiled, "Thank goodness. I thought you're still busy with other jobs." She then stopped in realization. She looked at him again, "You visit your mother's grave, didn't you?" Terrorcreep looked away while remained silent. She noticed his sad looks. She sighed, "It's okay. I won't bother to ask again."
"Thank you. I know you want to rest for tomorrow's work, but we should spent more time again."
"Terrorcreep, please."
"Your brother isn't here. Our parents are long gone. We're all alone. Don't worry about it. We should enjoy it as long as we wanted."
"I know that. I just want to rest for tomorrow. We can do this for another time."
"Two hours enough?" Terrorcreep asked slyly, making Fluttershy suspiciously yet amusingly to look at him. He smirked, "I can chase off some poachers and bring animals to vet."
Fluttershy smirked, "Sly bat. But it's a deal. Two hours to do it, then."
Both Terrorcreep and Fluttershy continued enjoying the great moments with each other as long as they wanted before tomorrow morning.
On the next day...
Fluttershy and Terrorcreep have arrived and entered the gym. Most of her friends are here as well before greeted the vampire mutant for coming back home.
However; Rarity, Sour Sweet and Sweetie Belle have yet arrived. Regardless, they continued practicing their dancing moves and singing. They all have done well with their part. Shorty has captured most of dancing scenes, where Applejack and Fluttershy were dancing happily before Lemon Zest and Pinkie briefly dance before parted ways.
"Cut!" Shorty shouted firmly and proudly. Everyone sighed in relief as they all take a break now. He sighed as he took his drink, "As soon as Rarity and Sour Sweet get here, we'll finish the rest of scenes as planned." He groaned as he looked at his phone, "Assuming if she stopped playing with her stupid cat..."
"What makes you say that?" Laxtinct asked curiously. Shorty gave him the glare. He yelped in realization, "Right! You hate cats."
Shorty groaned, "I don't hate cats. I'm allergic to them. That's the difference!"
"Geez, I wonder why Rarity and Sour Sweet are late?" Applejack asked in concern, "This isn't like them."
Sugarcoat nodded in agreement, "I agreed. Sour Sweet never missed practice for dancing and singing especially this big project. Something bad happen to them..."
Twilight sighed, "I hope so. This music video and teamwork between both schools are her ideas. We don't want left her out much from the project."
Pinkie giggled as she hugged three worried friends, "Don't worry! I'm pretty sure that they'll be fine. What worse could happen?"
"Hopefully not problems like TRF..." Fluttershy said in concern.
"Unlikely. Most probably caught in traffic again..." Terrorceep said suspiciously. He and his friends heard a bang from the gym's door. They found Rarity, Sour Sweet and Sweetie Belle panted heavily in exhaustion. He scoffed, "Speak of the devil."
"Where the hell were you three, Rarity?!" Shorty demanded in fury and anger. Just before they could explain, he groaned in frustration as he pushed both Rarity and Sour Sweet to the stage, "No! This isn't the time for talk! Let's wrap this up once and for all! Come on, move it!"
Laxtinct used the loudspeaker, "You heard him! Let's wrap this up!"
Mane Seven and Shadow Five headed off and climbed to the dancing stage. They all are in positioned. As Shorty gave the 'Action' word signal, Laxtinct clapped the action clipboard, once again injured his thumbs again. Cutie Mark Crusaders began rolling camera. Terrorcreep turned on the radio for the music to play.
All of them began dancing proudly and happily. However, both Rarity and Sour Sweet looked nervous and uneasy as they haven't dance or even sing a word.
Shorty was annoyed, "Rarity, Sour Sweet, that's your cue. Sing!"
Rarity and Sour Sweet looked nervous and fearful. They gulped a bit before spoke in strange sounds - cat's meow and pig's squeak. It shocked the whole world of what they just saw. Rainbow and Indigo snorted before laughed crazily and wildly.
"What the hell?! Rarity! Sour Sweet!" Shorty asked in shock as he approached and held his girlfriend's hands. He continued, "What happen to your voices?! Why are you all sounding like animals?!"
"That's what I was trying to tell you!" Sweetie Belle exclaimed in concern. Everyone turned and looked at her. She sighed, "It all happened, this morning!"
Flashback
Rarity and Sweetie Belle have exited and locked their home. Rarity was wearing a trench coat, covering her dancing dress as she hated to change last minute. They soon meetup with Sour Sweet, who also worn her trench coat to cover her dancing dress as well. Three of them headed off at once as they can't afford to be late now.
As three of them were running down the street, they halted at once as they come across to thehooded figure with fox mask. Three of them looked confuse and uncertain.
"Excuse us, darling, would you please move aside?" Rarity asked politely.
"Yeah, we're in a hurry," Sour Sweet said dryly and angrily before cleared her throat, "Please?"
"No..." The hooded figure declined, shocking and annoying three of them. She smirked as she raised her golden hand glove up, "You have something I need. And I need it now."
Rarity looked worry and uneasy, "Darling, I'm not sure if we follow."
"So, out of the way, old hag," Sour Sweet demanded in annoyance, "Or else, we'll kick your ass."
"Good graces, Sour Sweet!" Rarity scolded in annoyance.
"Old hag?!" The hooded figure demanded darkly. He voice has sent chills to three of them like something bad is happening. She smirked as her golden glove glowed brightly, "Do not worry. It won't be long. This will take a second. Curse Spell! Beauty Soul Captive!"
Her golden glove glowed darkly of red and black colors, the hooded figure with fox mask aimed her glove at her targets. It scared and worried Rarity, Sour Sweet and Sweetie Belle. She fired her golden glove, which hit both Rarity and Sour Sweet. They both screamed in pain and agony as their bodies were covered by black-red aura and their eyes glowed in white.
Soon, the pure white and golden colored of specks within their throats slowly ascended and emerged out of their throats. They flew straight to the hooded figure's glove, which clenched them, causing her body to energize with sensation and powers. It also made the hood figure with fox mask sighed in amusement and proud.
Sweetie Belle checked on both Rarity and Sour Sweet if they're alright or not. As they were speaking to her, they spoke in both cat and pig's noise. It shocked and scared them both to cry in agony and upset.
Sweetie Belle turned and glared at the witch, "What did you do to them?!"
"I have what I wanted," The hooded figure with fox mask said darkly yet proudly, "Farewell for now, fresh meats."
And just before Sweetie Belle could do anything, the hooded figure with fox mask teleported at once. She looked worry. She turned and looked at both Rarity and Sour Sweet, who were still crying in tears and agony about it.
Flashback End
After listening to Sweetie Belle's story, everyone was in deep shock and feared. They couldn't believed in their ears that someone would be able to remove and exchange voices, without the use of technology or even injured the vocal.
"That is nasty..." Sunny Flare remarked in shock.
"Unbelievable..." Twilight said in concern, "But that's impossible. It defies the reality..."
Applejack nodded fearfully, "Yeah. But it's real."
"Indeed," Shorty agreed in fear and concern. He used his Magical-Energon Tracker to scan on Rarity's and Sour Sweet's throat. After scanning theirs, he then looked at his tracker, which shown red colored screen with 'magical infection confirm'. He hissed, "This is bad. It's really is magic."
"So, you think you can use the Magic Cure on them both?" Sweetie Belle asked hopefully.
Apple Bloom nodded in agreement, "Yeah. They helped and get everyone back to normal."
"It should be piece of cake," Scootaloo commented.
"Highly possible of taking risks," Shorty said in concern, "The cure only works on subjects with dangerous infected or mutated magic. And even if I did want to use it, there's no telling what kind of effects both Rarity and Sour Sweet may get."
"That make sense..." Spike commented in concern.
Laxtinct gulped, "I hate to think of how bad and ugly it might get."
Hearing that comment has made both Rarity and Sour Sweet to cry in tears of upset and agony. They're not gonna get their voices back now.
"Who the heck this hooded lady with fox mask think she is?" Rainbow demanded in anger.
Pinkie nodded, "Yeah. What she did to our friends is so bad and mean!"
"Yeah! Nobody does that to our buddies!" Lemon Zest exclaimed in anger.
Sunny Flare nodded in agreement, "But who is she?"
"Lady of the Shades. That's what she's been called for." Terrorcreep answered in concern. Everyone looked at him with curiosity and concern. He sighed as he explained about new criminal, "Four weeks ago, there's been some serious reports involving victims encountering her emerging from the shadows during both day and night. The victims have lost and exchanged their voices to animals. Most of them believed that they have been cursed by that witch. And the victims she targeted are mostly young ladies."
"Oh my..." Fluttershy said in concern and fear, "Why did she do that for? What is she after?"
"I'm afraid I don't know much about her," Terrorcreep answered in concern, "All I can say is that she's only after the most beautiful ladies with great singing voice across the world. Since Rarity and Sour Sweet lost their voices, this means she's here..."
"Then, we're in big trouble..." Spike said in concern.
Sunset nodded, "Yeah, we are. And I also think she's from Equestria."
"How would you know?" Sunny Flare asked in concern.
Sunset hummed in concern, "Call it a hunch. And also, she wasn't the first creatures to come from my home."
"That is true. The Sirens..." Applejack said in confirmation, "I doubt the have some thing to do with it since their pendents got destroyed and can't do anything to hypnotize or sing evilly and creepily."
"Yeah. But we have to do something now," Rainbow said in concern and firmly, "We can't let her do what she wants. But how?"
"I have a suggestion," Sugarcoat spoke firmly, "I suggest we split into two teams. One group should investigate and gather more information while another group will focus on getting voice back."
Pinkie whistled, "That's a good plan, Sugarcoat. Where do we start from?"
"I might know the place that can help us," Terrorcreep said firmly and calmly, "But it will be dangerous for any of you to handle. Laxtinct and I will be going."
Laxtinct yelped, "Seriously?! Why me?!"
Knowing what Terrorcreep was taking about, Twilight nodded, "We need to know more about 'Lady of Shades' and her purpose of taking ladies' voices. Applejack, Fluttershy, Sunset, Sunny Flare, Indigo, Rainbow and I will be going with you, Terrorcreep. The rest of you will follow Shorty. He will take you to Mr. Tao's Antique Shop."
"So, do you want to tell why we go to some old man's junk shop?" Lemon Zest asked suspiciously.
Sugarcoat nodded in concern, "I agreed. We should be looking for the person, who knows magic and deal with it. I was hoping it's Princess Twilight."
Sunset sighed, "As much as I wanted Princess Twilight to be here to help us, we can't rely on her too much. She and her pony friends got hooves in full especially when they're dealing with Dark Mystic Ponies." She then smiled, "And besides, Mr. Tao also knows about magic too, right?"
"Yeah. As crazy he can be, Mr. Tao is wise and reliable old man I can depend on," Twilight said in agreement, "Plus, he's Shadow Dragon's dad. I would keep 'junk' word to myself if I were you. He tended to be sensitive and angry about it."
Everyone hummed and nodded in understanding. Rainbow scoffed, "Why are we waiting for?! Let's get going!"
Everyone chatted and nodded in agreement. Terrorcreep and Laxtinct led Twilight, Applejack, Sunset, Fluttershy, Sunny Flare, Rainbow and Indigo to the forbidden area. The rest of them (Shorty, Rarity, Pinkie, Sugarcoat, Sour Sweet, Lemon Zest, Spike and Cutie Mark Crusaders) headed off to Mr. Tao's Antique Shop.
Nyx looked reluctant and worried as she wanted to follow her older sister. Twilight shook her head and gestured her to follow her friends to Mr. Tao's Antique Shop. Nyx reluctantly agreed and followed the rest of her friends...
Shorty, Rarity, Pinkie, Sugarcoat, Sour Sweet, Lemon Zest, Spike and Cutie Mark Crusaders headed straight to Mr. Tao's Antique Shop. All of them are inside the library. Cutie Mark Crusaders and Spike were playing with Jade, whom they have seldom to see and visit since the Sirens Incident. The children were discussing and chatting about recent adventures they have been through. The rest of their friends were telling and informing Mr. Tao, Dragon Kick and Mighty Heart about Rarity and Sour Sweet's serious predicament.
While both Rarity and Sour Sweet were sitting down on their seats, Tao lifted a yin-yang pendant in midair. As he was swinging it from left to right, both girls stared and looked at it in confusion and uncertain. Everyone observed at the scene carefully while wondering of what is happening next.
A few moment has passed, the swinging pendant slowly glowed in green light. Everyone got surprised and shocked by it while looking at it. They all wondered and curious about it. The pendant's glowing green slowly turned into dark and blinked multiple times. It then exploded and broken into pieces, scaring everyone off.
"Okay! What the hell was that?!" Lemon Zest asked in shock and concern.
Spike groaned, "I hate it when that happen."
Pinkie shrugged, "I have no idea. But that is not party surprise!"
"What does it mean?" Shorty asked Mr. Tao.
Mr. Tao shown his suspicious and concern looks, "It means both Rarity and Sour Sweet have indeed been infected by some ancient yet forbidden Dark Magic. Therefor, they're really cursed by this 'Lady of Shades."
"It's obvious we know that," Sugarcoat said bluntly, "But can you fix them?"
"Yeah. I can't stand on hearing my sister talk like a cat," Sweetie Belle pleaded, "Please, can you fix her?"
Jade scoffed, "Fix them? Of course, he can."
"Really?" Apple Bloom asked in surprise.
Nyx nodded, "Yes, she is. He can help Rarity and Sour Sweet."
Mighty nodded in confirmation, "Sensei has been Chi Wizard ever since his encounter with Black Alpha. He knows a lot of Chi Spells, Banishment Spells, Cure Spells, Elemental Spells and even making potions and medicines. He's indeed the best Chi Wizard."
"So, do you know how to fix them?" Dragon Kick asked curiously. Instead, he got his head whacked by Mr. Tao's hand. He yelped in pain, "OW! What was that for?!"
Mr. Tao scoffed in annoyance, "How can I fix them if I don't know what kind of Dark Magic Spell that witch has put?!" He sighed calmly, "In order to freed them from their curse, we must first know and understand what spell she has cast on them. And therefore..."
"RESEARCH!" Mr. Tao's Family and even Pinkie shouted in unison.
Scootaloo groaned in annoyance, "I hate research..."
"Well, if we're gonna help our friends," Shorty said firmly as he turned to the book shelf. He picked and started reading a book, "We'd better start reading and researching them now. One of them gotta have the cure for Rarity and Sour Sweet."
Dragon Kick nodded, "He's right. Let's focus on our work now."
"You sure we've got the right guy?" Sugarcoat asked in uncertain tone.
"Well, he's the only wizard, who knows about Equestria Magic," Pinkie shrugged as she grabbed the book out, "We might as well do what he said. RESEARCH!"
"Well, like it or not, he's the one," Jade said calmly.
"Research is Twilight's thing. Why did she go with TC and Lax," Apple Bloom asked curiously.
Scootaloo shrugged, "I have no idea."
"Well, I just hope she and others can find and learn more about that witch," Sweetie Belle said in concern, "Hopefully, she can help free Rarity from the curse."
Nyx smiled as she patted Sweetie Belle's back, "Don't worry. My sister and others will find the way. I know it."
"Less yelping, more researching!" Mr. Tao exclaimed firmly.
Everyone picked and looked through some books as they were both researching and looking for the cure or remedy that can help them removed the curse from both Rarity and Sour Sweet. And hopefully, it's soon...
Twilight's Team (consisting of herself, Applejack, Sunset, Fluttershy, Rainbow, Terrorcreep, Laxtinct, Sunny Flare and Indigo) have now arrived at some dark yet ruined and gruesome city-like with smells of death and disgust scents. And the city is also inhabited by cruel, ruthless, violent, dangerous, psychotic and dark mutants, monsters and criminals alike. The locals have often cursed and picked a fight with each other for illogical reasons and purpose such as picking a fight for fun, killing for revenge, have no morality and discipline, destruction of property and items and cursing at each other wildly and crazily, and often bullied and attacking some innocent and weak bystanders.
Twilight and her team find this unknown city very disturbing and uncomfortable for them to stay. Not one of them really likes it here. Terrorcreep wasn't bothered by it much as he was more concern and focus on mission. Nevertheless, he helped and guided them to the very location they're going to for more information about 'Lady of Shades'.
During their walk, Twilight and her friends looked and observed their surroundings of city and people. They couldn't help but feel uncomfortable yet uneasy and pitiful about it as no one hasn't bother to deal with it.
"What is this place?" Fluttershy asked in concern, "I don't think I like it very much."
"Tell me about it," Sunny Flare agreed before shivered in fear and concern from looking at some mutants beating up on an innocent old man. She groaned, "Why are these people or mutants being cruel? They're worse than Crystal Prep."
"She has the point," Rainbow agreed in concern, "As much as I like action and adventure, this is something I don't think i like it."
Twilight sighed, "Welcome to Demon's City - the most forbidden and dangerous dark city at New York. It's where everyone including mutants and monsters lived and do anything they wanted. No rules. No morality. No one cares. It's everybody for themselves. And trust me, it's very unpleasant and disturbing place to go to."
"It really does," Laxtinct agreed in fear, "It gives me some goosebumps."
"That sounds a lot like Demon Land," Sunset said in concern before quivered in fear, "And it's a good thing that I didn't go that place. I don't want to think how bad that place was, comparing here."
"So, why did we come here again?" Applejack asked in concern, "Shouldn't we be going to Imperial Phoenix's Headquarter or military bases for info?"
Indigo nodded, "Yeah. That would be a lot of easier than coming here."
Terrorcreep turned and glared at his friends, "I told you before. Both military and police don't have enough of information about 'Lady of Shades', and I highly doubt that mob and gangster have that as well." He sighed, "But I believed there's someone I know of, who can help us and tell us about 'Lady of Shades'." He turned and looked ahead. He pointed at the modernized yet cleaned and perfect shape of hotel-like, "That place is the one we're going on."
"And the next thing, you want us to do is behave and shut the hell up," Laxtinct asked in annoyance.
Terrorcreep glared at Laxtinct, "What do you think, asshole? We don't want to attract some attention to us, understand?"
Everyone and even Laxtinct nodded and answered in understanding and agreement. Terrorcreep sighed as he turned and led his team into the hotel, which was called 'Under the Black Sea' Hotel. As they all entered the hotel, they found something very shocking for them to see.
They have found and saw a lots and lots of criminals and bad mutants were enjoying themselves to have their fun such as gambling and challenging for win or die, stealing some money from unnoticed or innocents, fighting and cursing at each other for fun or domination, drinking alcoholic drinks and wines to get drunk, and even watching some normal or mutated girls in their bikinis and undies dancing and showing off wildly within the aquarium tank-like dancing stages. Twilight and her friends find it quite disturbing and uncomfortable to bear. Nevertheless, they have the mission to perform. They have to find the person, who has the information about 'Lady of Shades'.
Terrorcreep led his team to the bartender's bar counter. He casually and calmly took his seat. His friends did the same thing as well. Found some mutants and criminals glaring at them, it made them very uncomfortable and uneasiness. Nevertheless, they did their best to not attract the attention while minding their own business.
Terrorcreep cleared his throat, attracting an armored humanoid crab-like bartender to turn and look at him. He grunted, "What do you want, punk? What can I get for you?"
"I'm looking for The Princess of Black Sea," Terrorcreep said calmly. The bartender looked and hummed suspiciously and unconvincingly as he pretended to think. The vampire smirked as he gave couple of dollars to him while saying, "She and I have some business to discuss..."
Crab bartender hummed greedily as he took the bribe, "She's in the dressing room now for having time with soldiers. Level 3 and 'No. 56'. You can't miss it." He turned and glared at Twilight and her friends, who nervously waved to him. He grunted, "And also, keep these slaves of yours, I don't want some goody two-shoes messing around my bar. The humans scared the customers away. It's bad business for my bar."
Terrorcreep smirked and nodded, "Understood." He cleared his throat, "Follow me, 'slaves'."
Terrorcreep got up from his seat and moved out. His friends followed him as well. And at the same time, some of criminals and mutants chatted and cursed rudely yet pervertedly about his 'slaves'. They all felt offended and annoyed yet uncomfortable for being called 'slaves'.
"They've got some nerve for calling us 'that'," Applejack said angrily and annoyingly.
Indigo nodded firmly, "Yeah. We're slaves to no one!"
Twilight sighed, "Girls, please. Don't get us into trouble. Just pretend not to be bothered and walk away. You don't want to mess with wrong people."
Laxtinct nodded in agreement, "Trust me. It's not very good too. So, let's just keep moving and forget about what they said to us."
As they were about to walk away, Fluttershy got grabbed from her left shoulder. She turned and found a guy, who looked very drunk and sick. His name was Krynoid. He laughed and hiccuped happily, "Hello there, pretty girl? Wanna buy some drinks for me?"
"Uh, no thank you!" Fluttershy exclaimed in concern and worry, "I need to go!"
Krynoid laughed happily, "Aw, don't be shy! I won't bite!"
He then grabbed and trying to drag Fluttershy out, making her yelped and scream in concern. It alert the rest of her friends. Rainbow and Indigo responded by punching his face hard before Applejack and Sunset kicked him off. Twilight and Sunny Flare grabbed and get her close to them. He was about to attack them but got halted and grabbed by Laxtinct's Rock Fist and Terrorcreep aiming his Thunder Axe at his throat.
"I think it's best that you leave now. You don't want to piss me off," Terrorcreep said darkly before pushing his axe close to the drunker's neck. He hissed in anger, "You don't want to push me."
Krynoid groaned in anger, "Fine. I'm leaving. Just wanna have some good time with pretty lady."
As Krynoid turned and was about to walk away, Terrorcreep grabbed and slammed him on the bar counter. Krynoid groaned in pain as he was trying to get up but the vampire continued slam and hit his head against the table for 20 times, making him to bleed a lot. He then thrown and slam the drunker straight at the bar shelf, destroying most of drinks and glasses.
Everyone in the room looked shock and scared of what they just saw. The bartender glared at Terrorcreep. The vampire smirked calmly as he shown the wallet, which belonged to Krynoid. He thrown it to him.
"Sorry for the mess. It's yours. He should be your slave for trying to take my slave," Terrorcreep said calmly. He turned and glared at the locals, "Anyone else want to try and take them?! Is there anyone else dare to make a move?!"
The locals looked worry and uneasy as they looked away at once, not wanting to get into trouble again. Terrorcreep scoffed in anger. He turned and glared at his friends.
"Sorry," Fluttershy apologized.
"It wasn't Fluttershy's fault or even ours," Rainbow protested, "That drunker just came and grab her. We have to defend her, you know."
"I know," Terrorcreep said in annoyance, "But you should let me and Lax to handle. In Demon City, humans weren't treated well and warmly because they're in servant class, and they have no rights or even freedom."
"So, we're playing their rules?" Sunset asked in concern and uncomfortably.
Sunny Flare hissed, "I don't think I'm gonna enjoy this place..."
"We won't be long," Terrorcreep said calmly and firmly, "Follow me. We've got no time to lose."
Terrorcreep nodded calmly and happily as he led his team to their destination - using the lift to No. 56 of 3rd Floor. Unknown to them, the Lady of Shade has been watching and following them. She's now heading towards the same direction they're using now.
Minutes have passed, Terrorcreep and his team have arrived at their destination. The vampire knocked the door gently, waiting for the respond. Hearing 'come in', Terrorcreep and his group entered it at once. He also halted Laxtinct, Rainbow, Indigo and Sunny Flare. Four of them were confused about it.
"Stay here and guard it," Terrorcreep commanded firmly, "Keep your eyes open for Lady of Shades. She could be closer than we think. Alert us if you spot her. No fooling around..."
Laxtinct, Rainbow, Indigo and Sunny Flare nodded half-heartily. Terrorcreep and the rest of them marched into the room at once. Four of them waited angrily and frustratingly outside to guard the door.
However, unknown to them, Lady of Shades was hiding behind the corner and has seen everything. She smirked darkly as she had her golden glove readied to snap, "The Voice of Bravery. The Voice of Beauty. They're perfect for me to take..."
Inside the No. 58 room, Terrorcreep and his friends taken the seats on a large yet long sofa. Twilight, Fluttershy, Sunset and Applejack were amazed and shocked by the room's appearance. The dark cyan-colored room is like Hollywood's Room for having makeup tools and kits, fashionable dresses and a large pool on the floor.
Suddenly, they heard some splashing noise. It came from the bathroom. Then, the door was opened and revealed herself to be Mei Kai's Counterpart, who physically looked the same as the demon. She now worn blackish sleeveless dress, jewelry necklace, golden bracelets and her hair has tied in twin ponytail and the flower hairpin on her hair.
"Terrorcreep..." Mei Kai hissed calmly yet slyly, "My favorite little guest of honor. It's been a while."
She slithered towards Terrorcreep, who remain calm and firm. She gave him a kiss on left and right cheek, and even the lips for the moment. He greeted her back with a smile. This sparked Fluttershy annoyed and jealous while her friends are uncomfortable.
Mei Kai sighed as she took her seat on sofa, "So, my little vampire, what business are you looking for now? My mother warned me not to trust a mutant for working with lowlife humans. Maybe I should listen to her."
"Perhaps, you should. But you're willing to help us as long as your family and people don't cause the commotion," Terrorcreep said calmly and firmly. Mei Kai hummed amusingly before nodded. He continued, "I'm here if you ever heard of 'Lady of Shades'."
"Yes. Yes, I did," Mei Kai hummed suspiciously while glaring at him, "Tell me, my friend, why are so you interested in her?"
"She has stolen something that doesn't belong to her," Terrorcreep said darkly and angrily. He then grabbed and held Fluttershy close to him. He sighed, "She stole my beloved concubine's voice and turned hers into snake. I cannot her her beautiful voice anymore. Why did she do it?!"
His friends especially Fluttershy looked worry and uneasy about Terrorcreep's lie. But they have to play along. Mei Kai looked unconvinced and suspiciously. She turned and looked at Fluttershy's looks carefully. For the moment later, she saw how scared and worried the shy girl is.
Mei Kai sighed as she turned and looked at Terrorcreep, "Your concubine is indeed scared and upset with her voice. Very well, I will tell you." Everyone looked at her, who taken the seat. She took a deep breathe and spoke, "You already know what Lady of Shades do to young ladies for their voices. But what you don't know is where she came from or why she did it."
"Tell us," Terrorcreep said firmly.
"No one has the ability to remove and exchange people's voices from the past and present. Not by magic or technology in our world." Mei Kai explained calmly, "Oh no. This magic of hers. Her existence... She's not from this realm but also not in this timeline, but rather a creature from another realm of ancient time."
"Equestria..." Sunset muttered in concern, "I knew it..."
"That can't be good..." Twilight said in concern, "What is she after?"
Applejack hissed, "I have no idea. And I don't think I'm gonna like it."
"Anything else, you can tell us?" Terrorcreep asked.
Mei Kai nodded, "For why she sought and taken the beauty voices of ladies... She's regaining her beauty of appearance, voices and power after so long she was imprisoned for millennia years. She did it for searching and retaking of what she has lost from the past..." Everyone looked worry and uneasy. She sighed calmly, "Her love - Herald of Darkness..."
Fluttershy gulped in fear. Terrorcreep narrowed his eyes in suspicious, "Who is she?"
"No one knows," Mei Kai answered calmly, "There are some description about her - a white fox mask, golden glove and nine tails..."
"White fox mask? Golden glove? Nine tails?" Sunset asked in concern and worry before showing shock looks, "It can't be. It's impossible..."
"Sunset?" Twilight and Applejack asked while Fluttershy whimpered in fear.
Sunset gulped, "Kyuubi... Lilith..."
SCREAMED! Everyone yelped in shock and concern as they got up from the seats. They turned and looked at the door. Something bad happened to their group!
Mei Kai smirked as she took the sip of blood wine, "She is here. Lady of Shades..."
Terrorcreep and his friends were in shock and concern to speak, "Oh no..."
Terrorcreep and his team quickly moved out at once to check and help their friends while Mei Kai laughed sinisterly and amusingly.
Terrorcreep and his team exited Room No. 58. They looked down and found Rainbow, Indigo and Sunny Flare got knocked out on the floor while Laxtinct was missing. As Sunset and Fluttershy helped their friends and asked if they were alright or not. As expected, Rainbow, Indigo and Sunny Flare spoke in tiger, falcon and chipmunk vocal. It scared and shocked them to scream in anger and frustration that they have lost their voices as well.
WHISTLED! They looked to the front, where they found Lady of Shades was standing there. She smirked beneath her mask. She turned away and marched into the hallway of doors. Terrorcreep and his team went and chase after her at once. They all came to a large hall that leads to four paths, where they found something shocking - there were eight suspects on four paths. Each pair take their own path and escaped at once.
Cannot afford to let them escape, Terrorcreep and his team split up and chased after them. Terrorcreep and Fluttershy went to the first path. Applejack and Twilight have gone to the second path. Sunset and Sunny Flare went to the third. Rainbow and Indigo gone to the fourth. They were so determined to chase and capture the 'Lady of Shades'.
Minutes have passed for running through the corridors of rooms and chambers, they were able to chase and capture the suspects alive. They then brought the suspects to the hall for interrogation. And to their surprise, the suspects puffed in smoke and revealed themselves to be eight blackish fox tails-like. They then teleported at once. And at the same time, they looked up and found the real 'Lady of Shades' casually exited the hotel. Terrorcreep and his team were in shock and confuse to ask.
"What the hell?!" Everyone and even Rainbow, Indigo and Sunny Flare asked.
Laxtinct came out from the chamber as he worn white shirt, blue suit, sunglasses and black pants, along with bunch of money he was carrying from his bag pack. Everyone turned and glared at him in annoyance and anger.
Laxtinct was confuse to ask, "What?"
Both Terrorcreep's and Shorty's Team returned and regrouped at the music studio for discussion and plans about dealing with mysterious 'Lady of Shades'. Terrorcreep's Team explained to the rest of their friends of what they have learned about 'Lady of Shades', and also informing that Rainbow, Indigo and even Sunny Flare have lost their voices to her. Shorty's Team was in shock and concern.
"That is very bad," Pinkie said in concern and fearful.
"You've said it..." Lemon Zest said in agreement, "I so don't wanna imagine what kind of animals I might sound like..."
"I can think the worst possible animals for any of us to hear," Sugarcoat said firmly and calmly. Everyone looked at her. She sighed, "Tyrannosaurus Rex."
"Why T-Rex?" Pinkie asked curiously.
Sugarcoat groaned with uneasiness and feared looks, "No one knows how terrifying and scary his thunderous roar sounds like..."
Rarity, Rainbow, Sour Sweet, Indigo and Sunny Flare made some wild animals' noise to their friends, who yelped in surprise and worry about them. Sunset giggled uneasily, "Sorry, girls. Forget about it. We need to deal with the Lady of Shades before she could cause more problems."
Twilight turned and looked at Mr. Tao, "Mr. Tao, did you found the cure or remedy spell to reverse the curse on our friends?"
"We all certainly did. It's called 'Reversing Curse Spell'." Mr. Tao said proudly. Everyone shown happy and relieved faces. He sighed in concern, "Unfortunately, this remedy spell required some specific ingredients to help us. And this spell can only work once on the one, who cast a cruse spell on them. So, putting remedy spell on the cursed victims is impossible to reverse the effects."
"Meaning?" Fluttershy asked fearfully.
Mighty sighed, "It means that we cannot miss the chance of be trapped with animals' voices forever."
Everyone groaned in frustration and agony. Just things were getting good for them.
"What are we gonna do?" Dragon Kick asked in concern, "We don't know where Lady of Shades went or who she's targeting at. This might be problem."
"Even though we know where she is, there is no way we can lure her back here," Shorty said in concern.
Laxtinct shrugged, "Well, Lady of Shades was chasing after the girls with pure beautiful voices, right? Shouldn't we use that as a bait or something?"
"And who would be the person do that?" Terrorcreep hummed in concern before looking at the girls, "Any of you want to do it?"
Most of the girls looked worry and uneasy as they aren't willing to become a bait to lure Lady of Shades to come out for them to trap and cast the spell on her. However, seeing that no one wanted to do it, Twilight and Fluttershy sighed in frustration as they have no choice but to do it.
"I'll do it," Twilight and Fluttershy spoke firmly. Everyone looked at them. They continued, "I'll be the bait!"
"WHAT?!" Everyone asked in shock and concern, "NO! You will not! I won't allow it!"
"We have no choice," Twilight said in concern, "The more we wait, the more innocent girls lose their voices and cursed with animals' voices. We have to do it."
Fluttershy nodded firmly, "I agree with Twilight. What Lady of Shades did to our friends is unforgivable. I won't stand and let her do as she pleased."
"Fluttershy, reconsider it, please!" Terrorcreep pleaded in concern, "Don't do it."
Nyx hugged her older sister tightly, "Please. You'll lose your voice!"
Spike nodded, "Yeah. I don't want you sounded like any animals especially a cat or squirrel. That will drive me nuts to attack you!"
"Please, think about it," Applejack pleaded, "Don't do it."
"There's no telling what that witch can do to you," Sunset said in concern.
Fluttershy sighed, "I'm sorry, Terrorcreep. I've made my decision."
Twilight nodded firmly, "So do I. We both have beautiful voice enough to get her attention. Once she did, we'll trap and cast the remedy spell on her. This is the only chance we have. We can't wait."
Everyone were against the idea of using their own friends' voices as baits. But there is no other way now. They reluctant to accept it now.
"Looks like we're out of option," Laxtinct said in concern.
"Fine. We should make preparation now," Terrorcreep said firmly, "We don't know what tricks she has for her sleeves."
Shorty sighed, "True. And I think I know a specific gadget that can stop her."
Terrorcreep nodded, "Good. Here's how it goes..."
Everyone gathered around for listening. Terrorcreep explained and detailed the strategy of his to his friends of how they can lure her out and trapped their target for Mr. Tao to perform the Reversing Curse Spell on her. They all awed and nodded in agreement. It might work...
Twilight and Fluttershy were alone in the gym. They were both on the stage for singing their favorite songs - 'Helping Twilight Win the Crown', and also they were dancing happily and passionately. As soon as they reached the end, they posed graceful dancing pose.
And just before they could relax, they heard some clapping noise. They looked up and found Lady of Shade, who was clapping her hands amusingly. She then approached to them both.
"My, oh, my," Lady of Shades greeted darkly and amusingly, with a giggle. Both Twilight and Fluttershy looked uneasy and concern as they moved back slowly. She smirked, "That was quite performance you have put. Your singing voices and dancing have inspired me. You are the ones I've been looking for."
"We know who you are, Lady of Shade," Twilight said firmly.
Fluttershy nodded, "We're not afraid of you! We won't let you do as you please for stealing people's voice for your selfish ambition."
"Oh?' Lady of Shades asked amusingly before giggled a bit, "Either you're both brave or foolish to think you can actually defeat me." She scoffed as she has her golden glove readied with dark magic, "Either way, I will claim the prize of most beautiful voice. With that, I can finally find and make him return to me."
Twilight and Fluttershy smiled confidently, making Lady of Shades suspicious. They spoke, "That's where you're wrong. Now!"
And just before Lady of Shades could react, the trapdoor has opened and let her fallen into it. However, she quickly jumped back at once. She smirked as she readied to cast her Dark Magic spell on them. But both of her hands got grabbed by Applejack and Laxtinct. She groaned in anger as she was about to unleash her Dark Magic. She suddenly got multiple punches and kicks by Rainbow, and also got some explosive cupcakes thrown by Pinkie.
Lady of Shades got wounded a bit. Shorty armed and aimed his new strange white colored blaster-like with satellite dish on its gunner. He fired its green laser, which hit her. She screamed in agony yet anger as she managed to push and knock the captives aside. But she got pushed back by Rarity's Diamond Force-Field.
Lady of Shade grunted in anger before looked up. She found Mane Seven, Shadow Five, Terrorcreep, Laxtinct, Shorty, Cutie Mark Crusaders, Spike and Tao's Family have gathered and stood before her. She groaned in anger as she readied her Dark Magic. However, nothing happens. She has found her Dark Magic did not ignite.
"What did you do to me?!" Lady of Shades demanded in anger.
"I neutralized your magic powers, with the help of my Artificial Energon. And therefore, you cannot use your magic against us," Shorty said proudly. Everyone smirked proudly. He then shown concern and fear looks, "Though I'm not very sure how long that effects can last since this is just a test especially if the voices have returned to the original."
Applejack groaned, "Really? Now you tell us?"
"Well, it will have to do," Sunset said firmly and calmly.
"Keep her as long as you can," Mr. Tao ordered firmly. He, Mighty, Cutie Mark Crusaders and Spike moved to the stage. He took most of ingredients and materials out. He shouted, "I need more time to prepare the ingredients and spell!"
Mighty nodded as he brought Cutie Mark Crusaders and Spike close to Tao, "And we need all the help we can get."
"We'll do our best!" Cutie Mark Crusaders exclaimed firmly.
Mane Seven and their friends nodded firmly as they turned and faced Lady of Shades. They surrounded her while armed and readied with their weapons and blasters to defeat her. Mane Seven have pony-up into their Anthro Forms with their own weapons.
"I've underestimated you all," Lady of Shades snarled a bit, "To think the humans have actually used their brains to defeat me. Usually, they're nothing but filthy pets and fresh meals for us to toy with. But it seems they have evolved."
"Yeah. Trust us. You don't want to mess with us," Sunset said firmly.
"So, how about return what is rightfully ours?" Sugarcoat demanded firmly.
"Yeah. We're outnumbered to beat us," Lemon Zest said proudly.
Dragon Kick nodded, "Give up now."
Lady of Shades scoffed, "I don't need my magic to defeat you. I have other abilities to do so. You don't stand a chance against me."
Terrorcreep narrowed his angry eyes as he held tightly on Dual Thunder Axes, "We shall see!"
"Let's dance, bitch!" Fluttershy snapped in anger.
"Lights! Camera! ACTION!" Laxtinct shouted happily before snapped the Action Clipboard, which once again injured his thumb. He yelped in pain, "OUCH! I hate that happens!"
Mane Seven and their friends charged and engaged Lady of Shades, who easily and swiftly dodged and deflected the attacks for few times. They all unable to take the hit on her. She was too fast and sly for them to handle. And at the same time; Mr. Tao, Mighty, Cutie Mark Crusaders and Spike were preparing and combining the ingredients and materials to cast a spell.
[Sunset: I feel it stirrin' deep down inside my soul
The rhythm's taking hold, and it's about to roll]
Twilight swung her Star Sparkle Sword at Lady of Shade, who quickly dodged and slided down for five times. She then tripped her down. She was about to slam her clawed hand on the lavender teenager, Applejack halted and held her down by using Mind Whiplash, allowing Rainbow and Indigo charged and thrust their Mystical Magic Spear and Pole to attack her. Lady of Shades quickly deflect and grab them both of their weapons before swinging them straight at Applejack to fall down.
[Twilight: A million sparkles falling across the floor
So, DJ, give it more, it's what we're looking for]
Lady of Shades approached and readied to attack. Sunset jumped and attacked her with Sunny War Fan in firing her blazing shots. Lady of Shades dodged and deflect the attacks for few times. She then kicked Sunset off. Spotting Rarity, Sunny Flare and Shorty readied with their Diamond Gatling Blaster, Gauntlet Blasters and Flame Volley Blaster; they all fired their blasters at her. She swiftly and quickly dodge and evade the attack while charging straight at them both.
[The Crystal Rainbooms: Dance the night away
All our friends right by our side
It doesn't matter what style you bring
We're about to go on that ride (Hey!)]
Luckily, Lady of Shades got got blasted by Pinkie's Party Cannon and Lemon Zest's Sound Blaster. And at the same time, she got hit very hard by Laxtinct's Earth Fist. She was thrown straight at Dragon Kick, Sour Sweet and Sugarcoat. Three of them punched her by face. As she struggled to recover, both Fluttershy and Terrorcreep unleashed their Bat Screech, injuring her ears.
[The Crystal Rainbooms: It's dance magic, once you have it
Let your body move, step into the music
It's dance magic, and it's electric
Let your body move to the music]
Mane Seven and their friends surrounded while putting their guards up in case if Lady of Shades tried to move. For odd reason, she hasn't move at all. While they approach to her slowly and firmly, she suddenly disappeared. It surprised and shocked the team. Suddenly, all of them got easily hit and beaten badly. They all found Lady of Shades stood before them.
[Pinkie rapped: Doesn't matter what style you got
Just keep dancin' on that spot
Your friends like you for who you are
Dance queen, on the scene, superstar!]
Mane Seven and their friends quickly got up and attacked Lady of Shades, who used her illusion to mislead them as she struck back at them by back and sides for few times. Despite how strong and tricky she can be, they refused to give up and continued to fight her off.
[Pinkie rapped: Crystal Prep, you got the moves
Rainboom bringin' all the grooves
Put it together and make it fit
Crystal Rainbooms, dance magic]
While Mane Seven and their friends did their best to stall Lady of Shades as long as they can, Mr. Tao and his assistants are preparing and working on creating the Reversing Curse Spell. They have some musical instrument like drum, violin, flute, castanets, keytar, guitar and tambourine, onion, mushroom, ginger, pigeon's feather, cobra's poison fang and couple of various potions. And at the same time, they were reading the spell book, making sure that they get the right spell.
[The Crystal Rainbooms: Dance the night away
All our friends right by our side
It doesn't matter what style you bring
We're about to go on that ride (Hey!)]
Mane Seven and their friends were weakened and exhausted as they continue to struggle and battle against Lady of Shades, who remained calm and healthy as she continued using her illusions to trick them before striking and wounding them one-by-one. She turned and faced both Twilight and Fluttershy. She grabbed and held them both up as she tried to kill them.
[The Crystal Rainbooms: It's dance magic, once you have it
Let your body move, step into the music
It's dance magic, and it's electric
Let your body move to the music]
Luckily, Terrorcreep used his full strength to swing his Dual Thunder Axe to injure Lady of Shades, freeing both Fluttershy and Twilight. And at the same time, Mr. Tao and his assistants began to perform the Reversing Curse spell via chanting in Cantonese and playing magical music instruments. It shocked and scared Lady of Shades.
And just before she could have the chance to escape, Mr. Tao's Spell was ready. He fired it in hitting Lady of Shade's back. It caused her to scream in pain.
[The Crystal Rainbooms: Crystal Rainbooms got a style that's all our own
Dancin' nonstop, body movin' in the zone
Bring whatever style you got
'Cause the party is goin' on]
While Lady of Shades continued screaming in pain, colorful auras-like poured out from her mouth as they escaped and flew across the world. Some of them flew and hit Rarity, Rainbow, Sour Sweet, Indigo and Sunny Flare's throat. The Lady of Shade dropped to the ground motionlessly. She has been defeated and lost the fight.
[The Crystal Rainbooms: It's dance magic, and it's electric
Let your body move to the music]
Five victims spoke and sang happily as they have found their voices have been restored. They all cheered happily and wildly, along with their friends.
Rarity sobbed tearfully, "It's so good to hear my voice again. I stand on pretending to be a cat for all the time."
Sweetie Belle giggled, "Definitely."
"Yes. I'm glad we fix the problem," Shorty said in relief. He and his allies turned and glared at the Lady of Shades, "Now for you. It's all over, Lady of Shades."
"Indeed," Terrorcreep approached to Lady of Shades. He lowered down while glared at her, "Time to find out of who you really are..."
And just before he could try to unmask her, Lady of Shade grabbed his hand while firing her Dark Magic in blowing him off. Everyone yelped in concern as they have realized that the neutralizer effects on her have wear off. She stood up and glared at her enemies.
"You may have regain what you have lost," Lady of Shades said darkly, "But this is far from over, mortals! I will regain my power! I will return home! Mark my word!"
And just before anyone could do anything, Lady of Shades quickly teleported and escaped at once.
"Damn it! She got away!" Rainbow snapped in anger, "That bitch owe me for messing with my voice!"
"I second it!" Sour Sweet and Indigo agreed in fury.
"And not to mention, we didn't get the chance to know more about her," Twilight said in concern, "We know she's from Equestria and why she did it. But there's something we don't know about her like what's her real name, who was her lover and how she ended up here."
Sunset nodded, "Me too. I've got a hunch that we'll see her soon."
"Whatever it is, I'm glad that everything is over," Applejack said in relief.
Nyx smiled and nodded, "Yeah. We should relax now."
Mr. Tao nodded, "Indeed. Now uncle can rest. Fighting with that witch and performing magic spell has taken a toll on me. I am exhausted and tired to do anything now..."
Everyone chatted in agreement with Mr. Tao's statement about relaxation from the fight with Lady of Shades. They deserve it.
"Today, we will relax," Shorty agreed, "But tomorrow, we are intended to finish the music video and win." Everyone groaned and complained in frustration that they wanted to rest more. He groaned, "No excuses. We have one more day to complete before the deadline. Both schools have something need to do. And I intend to finish it, understand?!"
Everyone groaned in annoyance. Nevertheless, they know Shorty was right. They all agreed to finish the music video.
Two days later, Mane Seven and their team have completed and submitted their music video to television station. They received the letter from them. They have won the competition and earned the prize money for both Camp Everfree Repairs and. Now, their music video is used for music advertisement. They're now celebrating for their victory at Auntie Orange Smoothies Stall. Everything is back to normal.
Unknown to them, Lady of Shades was watching them via shadowy figures with her crimson eyes glowing in dark. She's not through with them...
