Sunset Shimmer, scared, looked at Twilight Sparkle and Spike on the ground. Walking over to Twilight, Sunset fell to her knees and cried. 
Tears streamed down her face and onto Twilight. "Twilight, you're in a really bad dream! Please wake up!"

Zhan Tiri cackled, smirking. "Stop trying. She's not gonna wake up."

Sunset's tears turned to angry tears, ready to avenge her lover. "What did you do?" she shouted. 

"The real question is: What did you do?" Zhan Tiri said. 

"I would never hurt her!" Sunset said, "I love her too much!" 

"Really?" Zhan Tiri said, "You had potential and you let it go because of that princess. Join me and you can relive your rightful path."

"You don't understand! Then I was lost and scared, full of hatred! You too can be a better person!" Sunset said, reaching out her hand. 

Zhan Tiri slapped Sunset's hand. "I can't believe how naive you've become, Sunset Shimmer. First you and now my right hand man King Sombra!" 

"Sombra! What did you do with him?" Sunset said. 

"Why does that concern you?" Zhan Tiri asked. 

"Because I saw that he had food in him!" Sunset Shimmer said, "Everyone has good somewhere deep inside them. You've just gotta find it."

"You really think this 'magic of friendship' shit is gonna work on me?" Zhan Tiri shouted, "I'm different than you weak ass pony villains! I won't be going down so easily!" 

Sunset Shimmer smirked. "You so sure about that, Zhan Tiri?" 

"Oh, please. Don't act like you have the upper hand when you actually don't," Zhan Tiri said. 

"Girls!" Sunset said, "Let's do this!" 

"But you saw what he did to Twilight! We can't compete against that!" Rainbow Dash cried. 

"With the magic of friendship, all evil will fall and the light will renter their hearts!" 

Zhan Tiri smirked. "Oh, I see how it is. If it's a fight you want, then a fight you'll get!" 

"Gladly," Sunset Shimmer said, smirking determinedly.
