I don’t know what Urchin was thinking in wanting to try to free Adagio and her sisters from this curse of theirs, but clearly, since Trixie pulled the lever and we all fell down a trapdoor, this shit just got harder than it already was. Honestly, I’m just glad we all landed on a pile of mattresses. Flash looked worried a little, Urchin immediately set about trying to find a way out with a face so determined that no one could doubt how committed he was to saving the siren that had fallen in love with him and her sisters. My girlfriend and her friends, aside from Princess Twilight who had joined us that morning, they were another story, one that was too familiar.
They, after a couple of hours of fear and distress, had started arguing. And as they did, green waves of energy flowed upwards towards the trapdoor on the stage. Not good, not good at all. Twilight tried to stop it, and ended up being shoved out of the way by Rarity. I could see Applejack’s eyes wavering between hate and distress, and that’s when I knew I had to step in, since Flash was now crying at the thought of not being to able to save Adagio and her sisters. So I did, starting another one of my rants that had the power to turn things around.
“God fucking damnit! Guys, stop arguing! You all have allowed yourselves to warp the magic of friendship into the same kind of stuff that the Dazzlings, as of this moment, are fucking eating off of! Like, come to your senses. We’re going to get nowhere in saving Adagio and her sisters if you all keep arguing!”
Now angry, I turned to the door that Urchin was trying and failing to open. “Stand back.”
He did, and in a rage, I literally punched the door off of its hinges after punching it repeatedly for 45 seconds. Everyone else was stunned, except Applejack who hugged me.
“Cato, I knew you’d come through.”
“Thanks Jackie. But right now, we got a job to do.”
Urchin and I took off for the stage, while everyone else was temporarily distracted by this DJ girl and Spike arriving before they also did the same.
