"WHAT," Radiance screamed. "How come our story isn't as popular as we hoped?"
"You're telling me," Zapp said. "The Christmas story has more views than us. Not to mention, the fans are still favoriting it... EVEN AFTER THE HOLIDAYS ARE OVER!"
"All right, y'all," Mistress Marevelous said. "Let's not overreact. Maybe our story wasn't as epic as we made it out to be."
"It was a super-hero reenactment of our adventures," Hum Drum said.
"Hold on," Anar D said. "As it so happens, our writer happens to plan a sequel story for Power Ponies: Harmony Forever."
"Really," Saddle Rager asked.
"OH, BOY," Filli-Second shouted. "I CAN'T WAIT TO KICK IT AGAIN!"

"It's a super sequel," the Masked Matterhorn sang,
"We're going to make another
A tale that trumps the other"
"It's a super sequel," the Power Ponies sang,
"A second hero story
Now, our fans will never
Have to worry
It's a super sequel
Just one written work more
Come on and let's give the fans
What they asked for
After lots of thumbs up
We realize it's not enough
We've got to do it all again
Until the very end
We've got to show our friends
That we can do it all again
It's a super sequel
A new tale we're creating
Even if it won't have
The exact same rating
It's a super sequel
How bad can it be
We can't do any worse
Than Spider-Man 3
It's a super sequel
We're going to go through
While the people wait for Disney
To make the Incredibles 2
After lots of thumbs up
We realize it's not enough
We've got to do it all again
Until the very end
We've got to show our friends
That we can do it all again"

"Now, let's see what story plots we have," the Masked Matterhorn said.
"Got it," Apple Bloom said. "A tale about three little girls who get lost from home and have to team up with a wolf to go home."
"Apple Bloom, this is a superhero story," the Masked Matterhorn said.
"I know," Derpy Hooves said. "It's about 3 of your enemies bringing back an evil draconequus so that the Power Ponies would split up, when in secret, the draconequus has his own hidden agenda."
"Derp, that was in the last story," Zapp said.
"It's about..." Diamond Tiara said.
"NEEEEXT," Hum Drum shouted.
Suddenly, three human girls appeared. The leading on approached the Power Ponies.
"Hey, girls," Serena said. "How about the Power Ponies travel in search of new heroes?"
"THAT'S PERFECT," the Masked Matterhorn shouted.

"After lots of thumbs up," the Power Ponies sang
"We realize it's not enough
We've got to do it all again
Until the very end
We've got to show our friends
That we can do it all again
IT'S A SUPER SEQUEL
IT'S THE ONLY THING LEFT TO DO
SO, FANS, GET READY
FOR THE POWER PONIES 2
IT'S THE POWER PONIES TOO
WITH THE POWER PONIES 2
IT'S THE... POWER... PONIES...
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"





The sun blandly shined on the prison in the mountain. Three guards in gold armor rode on top of a lifting platform.
"I'm getting a little nervous about this," one guard said.
"You must be new," another guard said. "There's nothing to worry about. This is the highest security prison in all of Equestria. Even if he does get past these walls, the mountain would be too steep to climb down. And the best part, our job is easy because there is only one prisoner."
"Yeah, but that prisoner is Darkmatter," the scared guard whispered.
Suddenly, the platform stopped and the guards were in front of a little entrance of a cell. They approached and a ragged, black unicorn was standing near the bars. He had green, glowing eyes and sharp teeth. Where his horn should be, there's a metal shell covering it.
"All right, Darkmatter," the leading guard said. "You know the drill."
"Yes, I get to the back of the wall while you give me my monthly food," the unicorn said. He then stepped away from the bars. "You know, if you just let me out of here, I can promise you a swift, painless fate."
"Don't make me laugh, Darkmatter," the lead guard said. "You can't escape and that blessed iron around your horn prevents you from using your powers."
"One day, I'll find a way out of here and I'll make you eat your words," Darkmatter growled. "And once I'm done with you, I'm finding the little monkey, Twilight Sparkle. And then, I'll..."
Suddenly, a loud screech was heard. The guards looked and gasped in fear. Suddenly, three large, pony-like beings flew from the sky and knocked back the guards. Darkmatter was interested and kept watching. The beasts then changed to three human, teenage girls. One girl had blue hair and a ponytail. Another had purple hair and a double-ponytail. The final one had big, orange hair.
"Humans," Darkmatter said. "Well, now, it gets interesting."
"Who are you," the head guard asked pulling out his sword.
"I am Serena," the orange haired girl said. "These are my sisters, Carol and Melody. And now, let's dance."
"Uh, Serena, I don't think we have time to dance," Carol said. "I think we should curse these guys. I'll dance with you later, though."
Ignoring what Carol said, the girls began to vocalize and the red gems around their necks began to glow. They blasted a red beam that covered the guards in light. When the light cleared, the guards were still and covered in stone. The girls turned to the cell and sang again. The door then suddenly opened and Darkmatter walked out.
"Darkmatter, it's a pleasure to be in your presence," Serena said. "We're all happy to meet you... except for Melody."
"I'm never happy," Melody said.
"Your magic came from your singing," Darkmatter asked. "You're sirens, aren't you?"
"Yes," Serena said. "And we have a special job that we need you for. Have you heard of Arcanus?"
Darkmatter widened his green eyes. "YOU WORK FOR HIM?!"
"I'm thinking he has heard of him," Carol said.
"I promise you, it will all be worth it," Serena said. She held onto Darkmatter's capsule covering his horn and sang. Suddenly, the metal broke into pieces revealing a black horn with a red tip. "After all, you've been locked up in here because of Twilight Sparkle. Now's your chance to get her. Well, all you have to do is play along with our plan and you get to have the girl alive and all yours. Word is, she has a powerful set of friends, so it's obvious you can't get her on your own now."
"Very well then," Darkmatter said. "I look forward to seeing the little monkey again."





Three weeks later, at the edge of Maretropolis, there was a forest that Hum Drum, the Masked Matterhorn's sidekick, would usually take the Power Ponies' pets out for their walk. One day, Saddle Rager's pet rabbit, Angel, mysteriously escaped from his leash. Hum Drum dragged the other pets through the forest looking for the bunny.
"ANGEL," Hum Drum shouted. "ANGEL, WHERE ARE YOU?! Oh, if I don't find that horrible hare soon, Saddle Rager will be angry with me. And when it comes to her, you DON'T want to make her angry." He sighed. "Look at this. I went from a big-time hero to a pet-sitter. That's just a smack on the head."
Suddenly, an acorn hit Hum Drum on his head. He looked up and saw the rabbit on a ledge up the rock mountain.
"How did you get up there," Hum Drum asked. "It doesn't matter. Get down here now!"
Suddenly, Angel disappeared in a flash of light and a popping sound. Hum Drum shook his head in shock.
"WHAT THE..." Hum Drum asked.
Suddenly, Angel reappeared in a similar flash of light. Hum Drum looked at the rest of the pets and he gasped when he saw the animals' new abilities.
Gummy, Filli-Second's alligator without teeth, changed into a hard metal and didn't move. He didn't even wag his tail. Opal, Radiance's cat, retracted her claws and swiped at the air. Light waves the shape of scratch marks went through a tree and it was scratched down. Wynona, Mistress Marevelous' dog, became more clear and her leash collar went through her. Tank, Zapp's turtle, started to fly, even with his propeller fan off his shell.
Finally, Owlolicious, the Masked Matterhorn's owl, spun his around and created a tornado like the Tasmanian Devil. Of course, Owlolicious was still attached to his leash, so Hum Drum spun with him. Hum Drum let go of the leash and hit the mountain very hard. He looked up and saw a pile of boulders shaking. Hum Drum was worried until he saw the boulders calm still.
"Whew," he exclaimed. He looked at the pets with confusion. "Since when did our pets get super-powers?" He sighed and bumped his head on the wall behind him.
Suddenly, he heard a rock break apart. He looked up and saw his error when the boulders above him begin to slide. Hum Drum covered his head with his arm and prepared for the worst. The rocks hit him and completely covered his body.
The pets looked at the rock pile. Angel cheered in excitement. The excitement ended when the large boulder on top of the pile begin to break apart. As soon as the rock was broken, Hum Drum was still standing.
Hum Drum looked at himself and gasped in bigger shock than before. His scales and costume were changed to a gem outline. He could feel the diamonds where his skin should be. He looked, and there was not one chip on his body. Then, his shiny layer changed to his usual scales and costume fabric. He was completely shocked, terrified, and confused at the same time.
"What's going on," Hum Drum shrieked.
