I drove us as fast as I could back to town in hopes we would get there before Coreana could get the chance to use her magic and once we got to town I quickly realized that I didn't know where the group of girls from before liked to hang out at so I turned back to the girls
"You guys wouldn't happen to know where those girls like to go after school?" I asked
Adagio thought for a moment "I always hear them talking about going to sugarcube corner, sadly we don't exactly know where that is since we never really went with them." she said
I nodded "Right, looks like we're gonna have to find this sugarcube corner if we want to find them and stop that woman." I said then I began driving around town looking for this sugarcube corner but this was a big town and I never heard someone from where I lived talk about it or even mention it
As I drove around I didn't have much luck with finding the place until I finally spotted the group and they were going into some sort of cafe so I drove forward a bit and found that this was the place, sugarcube corner, so I parked the car nearby and we quickly ran to the shop and spotted them at a nearby table and they spotted us as well and they waved at us as we sped walked to their table
"Hey, Eric, Adagio, Sonata, and Aria, what's up with you guys? you look like you saw a ghost." Rainbow dash said
Sonata slammed her hands on the table which surprised all of them "We need your help!" she practically shouted
I pulled Sonata back "How about we explain why we need help first." I said
"Wait, help? what do I reckon y'all need help with anyway? I assume it must be some kinda big thing or else you wouldn't come to us." Applejack said
I stepped forward "It is, have any of you heard of a person named Coreana?" I asked but they all shook their heads "Makes sense, well the girls have told me that Coreana is this siren who came from the same world they did and now she is on her way here to try to take control of the whole town." I explained and I saw all of their shocked expressions
"My, that's quite a lot to take in and it's no wonder why you would come to us, we did deal with our own fair share of evil equestrian magic beings." Rarity said
Sunset nodded then she looked back at us "What did you say her name was?" she asked
"Coreana, they say she's a siren, do you know her?" I asked
Sunset thought for a moment "There are plenty of sirens in Equestria but after they were driven away by ponies back in the past, they haven't really been seen since except for those three." she said pointing at the girls
I couldn't help but think back to what she said "Wait a minute, first I hear about sirens then I hear about ponies, what kind of world are we talking about here?" I asked
Adagio put a hand on my shoulder "We'll explain later, first let's deal with Coreana." she said and I nodded
Fluttershy slightly put her hand up "Um, excuse me, but where did Coreana come from?" she asked in a soft voice
Adagio sat down in a chair "Coreana was just like us, roaming around Equestria and stealing magic from ponies when we could until we stole magic from the wrong neighborhood and Starswirl had finally found us, we tried to run but he and his friends chased us and so when we had finally found our own hiding place we all made a very bad decision." she explained but then stayed quiet for a bit and looked away nervously
"What happened next? tell us, TELL US!" Pinkie pie said leaning over the table and staring into Adagio's eyes then she was pulled back by Applejack
When Adagio still didn't talk Aria sighed and stepped forward "We decided to sell her out, while she wasn't looking we made our own escape but not before using our magic to move the hiding spot so she was exposed to Starswirl and his friends, while Starswirl was busy with her we made our escape." she said and everyone gave them their disappointed faces
"So, you three chose to save your own hides and sell out your friend all so y'all could steal more magic?" Applejack asked and all three of them nodded
Rainbow Dash shook her head "Even I'm surprised you three would do something like that, I know you were bad guys and all but that was just plain evil." she said
"You should all be ashamed of yourselves." Rarity said
I looked at each of them "I'm sure they feel guilty enough, what's done is done, now we should focus on fixing this problem so everyone and everything can go back to normal." I said
Sunset nodded "I agree, we can't change what happened so let's not make them feel worse than they already do, alright?" she said and everyone looked back at the girls and nodded "Good, as for the Coreana situation, I have a friend who can help us, I just need to get to my journal." she said
I looked at her confused "How will a journal help us contact your friend?" I asked
"Trust me, it'll help us big time." Sunset said
"Alright, so where is this journal?" I asked
"It's in my locker at school, I chose to put it there for safekeeping while I went out to eat, I was so sure that I wouldn't need it but I guess now I do." Sunset said as she rubbed the back of her neck
Sonata walked forward again "Well then let's head to school, get your journal then beat Coreana." she said and everyone nodded
We all headed out and I was going to head to my car but I realized that I wouldn't be able to fit everyone in so we decided to run to the school since it wasn't that far away anyway, we all ran to the school but once we got there the doors were closed and locked since today wasn't a school day
"Crud, the doors are locked, how will we get inside?" Rainbow dash said
Applejack rolled up her sleeves "Y'all stand back, I'll have these doors open in a jiffy." she said then she walked to the doors and she transformed again as she shoved the doors open
"Oh, I hope principal Celestia won't be too mad at us." Fluttershy said
We all walked in and followed Sunset to her locker where she opened it and took out her journal
"Here it is, now we can contact Twilight and she'll be able to help us." Sunset said then she opened it and pulled out her pen but before she started writing some singing came out of nowhere
"Is that singing?" Pinkie said
Adagio quickly ran to me and covered my ears "It's her, she's here." she said and I could barely hear her then everyone ran outside and we followed slowly since Adagio wanted to make sure I wouldn't be able to hear the singing
Once we were outside we saw Coreana in the sky singing over the city and across the street, we could also see people being put under her spell as they entered a trance-like state and stood completely still and I looked at the others to see that they were saying something but I couldn't hear them but I did see that Sunset wrote in her journal so hopefully her friend would be able to help us, however that worked, and once I looked back up at Coreana I saw she stopped singing and was looking directly at us so Adagio removed her hands and I could hear again
Coreana floated over to us "Now this is shocking, not only have I found you four annoying people again but also a few humans who seem to be immune to my spell, today is full of surprises." she said
"Oh did someone say surprises? I love surprises, especially surprise birthday parties, those are my favorite-." Pinke was cut off when Rainbow put her hand on her mouth
Coreana rolled her eyes "As I was saying, how could you humans be immune to my magic?" she asked
"Wouldn't you like to know." Rainbow said
"Hm, it doesn't matter, I can afford to lose a few humans, as long as my army is still big and strong." Coreana said then she snapped her fingers and a huge group of people walked toward us and stopped "Capture the humans, get rid of the sirens, and make sure they stay gone this time." she said then the people started walking toward us again
"We need to get out of here without hurting anyone." Sunset said
"I'll make us a path, Rarity, use your magic to make sure no one gets grabbed." Applejack said and Rarity nodded then she pushed through the group of people and shoved each one of them aside but not too rough to hurt them
"Everyone get close to me, but not too close I don't want to ruin my clothes." Rarity said and we all grouped up then she transformed and put up a shield around us and we began to follow Applejack through the crowd
"Is that Equestrian magic? this day just gets better and better." Coreana said then she began flying after us "Give me your magic, with it, I'll become as strong as starswirl himself." she said
"Oh no ya don't." Applejack said then she looked back at us "Pinke, your sprinkles." she said
"right." Pinkie said then she pulled out her sprinkle container and began eating them
"Use your magic sprinkles on her!" Applejack yelled
"Ooooh, that makes more sense." Pinke said then she put some sprinkles in her hand and she transformed then her sprinkles began glowing and Rarity opened a part of her shield which allowed Pinke to throw them at Coreana and knock her away
Just as Creana was knocked away Applejack had made it through the crowd and to the other side "Everybody, this way, hurry." she said and once we were fully through we all made a run for it and the people followed us
"You can't run forever, I'll capture you and steal your magic, just you wait, once I have your magic then no one will ever be able to stop me or my army!" Coreana shouted to us as we ran away
