Water Lily's Room, That Night
Sat by herself next to the window of her room with pain still fresh in her heart.
Lily held out her blood-soaked palm and placed it on rain covered window in front of her while the painful memories would flood her subconscious, causing her to go into the fetal position and scream for Loki.
This would result in Night Fang running up to her room and kicking the door in, only to find Lily screaming and crying with the blood of Loki still covering her from earlier.
Night Fang saw this as his cue to slowly make his way over to her and pull her close to his chest.
Lily could not have felt safer than in the arms of the man she called her big brother since Loki was killed earlier on that night.
With tears stopping, she looked at the man she called her 'big brother' with bloodshot eyes from all the crying she had done before speaking slowly.
"He's gone Night Fang, he's really gone."
Night Fang's heart broke from looking at Water Lily's look as he nodded sadly as they both looked at Loki's junk pile and all his chimichanga wrappers and Ice cream tubs causing Lily to sob quietly into Night Fang's shoulder with a hug following before he obliged with a hug of his own to his crying 'little sister.'
During the Day
Song Play: 'Sound Of Silence' by Disturbed
It was hell on earth for the house's inhabitants that day, everywhere they went, it was like Loki was there to haunt them.
It had happened to Night Fang while he was driving and nearly crashing his car on the freeway, while on his way to his job at the DVD rental store.
It happened to Sunset Shimmer while she was doing the laundry in the house.
She had seen Loki's reflection in the window of the washing machine, causing her to freak out and turn round, only to find no one was there.
Cherry Blossom had clung even closer to Blackheart during this troubling time.
This would have normally caused arguments between Sonata's boyfriend and her sister, but considering the situation, Blackheart was thankful he still had Cherry Blossom.
When Rainbow Dash had said she had spotted Loki during her soccer practice freaked her out to the point that she had to walk away from training.
But the worse person for the sightings was Water Lily herself.
It had affected her sleeping pattern to the point of when she did try to sleep, all she saw was Loki dying in her arms over and over again, making her scream and cry in her sleep, shouting for Loki, begging for him to return to her but the dream Loki could never hear her plea before it changed to the face of the siren king taking off Loki's face like it was a mask before looking towards Lily and leaping at her with his jaws wide, but she woke up screaming at the moment it was about to happen.
End Song
At the School, Next day
Night Fang was extra vicious during practice, his new aggression caused him to get into fights with Blackheart, resulting in them being restrained by their respective girlfriends.
Water Lily had collapsed from exhaustion in the changing rooms for the gym, and after being moved to the nurse's office by Applejack, this resulted in her being sent home for some rest.
Sunset Shimmer was extra snappy and almost looked like her old she-demon self.
While the self-destruction happened, the siren king looked on with a victorious smirk as Adagio stood at the side of her master as they watched Night Fang and Sunset Shimmer.
"You see Adagio, here we have a once tight-knit group, all friends that believed they could take on the world, I pull one thread and the fabric…"
Sees Night Fang and Sunset Shimmer fighting from where he is stood before smirking.
"...Falls to pieces around them."
Adagio observed the couple closely as Night Fang stormed off which left Sunset Shimmer on her knees crying.
As the purple mist from all the negative energy in the air fed Sirenstone his five-course meal, making him grow even stronger.
His eyes grew an even darker red before he turned to Adagio with a swish of his cloak and says.
"We're done here, they're finished."
With one glance towards Sunset Shimmer, Midnight followed her master without another word.
In the Music Room
Being the only one in the room at that moment in time, Blackheart looked around and found a few music sheets with songs on which Loki had written himself, but there was one song which caught his eye named "movies" as well as other songs until Night Fang walked through the door, spotting Blackheart before speaking.
"Blackheart?"
Blackheart turned to face Night Fang with a determination that matched Loki's, this worried Night Fang as Blackheart picked up his guitar and handed the sheets to Night Fang.
"Loki left us one last set of gifts Night Fang, we can do this."
Night Fang's smile returned as he picked up his guitar from the rack in the room before he and Blackheart ran to the cafeteria to find the girls.
As they gathered them up one by one, Blackheart let them know of what Loki had done before his passing.
"Loki wouldn't want us to fall apart girls, He left us these for a reason, we now have a chance to beat Sirenstone once and for all."
And with that, they set to work while Night Fang began singing while they were setting up
Night Fang: It's time for us to come together
It's the only way that things will get better
Blackheart: It's time for us to take a stand
So come on and lend a helping hand
The girls focused on their routine in the music room while Night Fang and Blackheart played chords on their guitars while Night Fang smiled at Sunset Shimmer playing rhythm to his guitar, later Blackheart helps Sonata and Aria set up the staging with Pinkie Pie's help.
Fix it up
Yeah, it's all right
We'll get it ready by tonight
Mix it up
Yeah, help a friend
We'll come together in the end
Lily had trouble choosing between songs so Sunset Shimmer helped her choose by picking the middle sheet.
The Rainbooms helped carry equipment to the stage with a nod of approval from Night Fang which drew the attention of a few students who decided to help, this act then caught the entire student bodies attention who were behind Night Fang in the battle of the bands as they decided to help out.
Water Lily: It's time to show that we've got school spirit
Raise your voice and let everyone hear it
Rarity: It's time to show that we're strong
So come on, everybody, sing along
With some stencils and his girlfriend's amazing art skills, Night Fang put a picture of a moon rock with arms and legs that had Loki's signature smile, green eyes and green hair onto his, sunset's, Rainbow's, Applejack's and Blackheart's guitar as the others did the same with their equipment making Adagio feel that Loki was still with them in spirit.
(Look...) Look how we've all come together
(Things...) Things are only just starting to get better
(Look...) Look how we've all come together
(Things...) Things are only gonna get better, better, better, better!
Night Fang added one last touch, his brother's cutie mark, which was a moonstone with fangs to the team's flag which Night Fang would carry on December 24th before holding the flag up for all to see making everyone give a loud cheer before Adagio held the flag high to chants of.
"LOKI, LOKI, LOKI, LOKI."
(We... will...) Fix it up, yeah, it's all right
(Come... together, together...) We'll get it ready by tonight
(We... will...) Mix it up, yeah, help a friend
(Come... together, together...) We'll come together in the end
(We... will...) Fix it up, yeah, it's all right
(Come... together, together...) We'll get it ready by tonight
(We... will...) Mix it up, yeah, help a friend
(Come... together, together...) We'll come together, together now.
Days passed and soon enough, December dawned on everyone.
23 days now till judgement day, but this time, Night Fang's band was ready to fight.
In Ponyville
A heart monitor, which had long since been flat-lined for some time in Twilight Sparkle's castle, is seen as doctors worked on the green pony who was stone cold dead on the cold operating table.
Every day, Twilight Sparkle would visit her patient, who lay in the hospital bed with his chest stitched up and laying in a peaceful slumber while the best doctors and nurses looked after him before prepping him for the morgue.
However, in his mind, something struck the dead teen.
Loki's Dreamscape
As he saw a ruined human world and sirens running amok, Loki looked around the ruined city before looking towards a crawling female in the distance.
"Ma'am, are you OK?"
Loki ran towards the figure and his eyes widened in horror.
Before him, Water Lily was crawling towards Dream Loki with her lower part of her body missing as entrails trailed from under her torso as her bloodied eyes looked at Loki with hand raised towards him.
"L...oki, h...help m..e."
Before Loki could reach for her hand. The Siren King, with one swing of his scythe, beheads Lily right in front of Loki before he laughs in the teens face at the panicked look on his face before it turned into fury.
End of Sequence
The heart monitor was going haywire as it suddenly spiked back to life, sending the doctors into a blind panic.
One of them ran for Twilight Sparkle, who was sat in her throne room talking to Sunset Shimmer through her book when the doctor burst through the doors and announced.
"YOUR HIGHNESS, LOKI MOONSTONE IS ALIVE!"
Twilight and her friends gave each other hopeful looks as they ran towards the medical room. When they got there, Twilight spotted the heart monitor going haywire and what they saw next sent everything to a standstill.
Standing before the shocked girls with bright yellow eyes and snow white fur, was some pony who was brought to Twilight Sparkle dead but now is miraculously alive.
"Loki, Y...you're supposed to be dead."
The were pony looked towards Twilight Sparkle with a snarl before speaking in a deep voice which sent a chill down the spines of the 6 mares.
"Not even death can stop me reaching Water Lily, Sirenstone will pay."
Twilight Sparkle nodded before Loki changed back to normal and gave off his goofy smile making the girls d'aww.
Later
"I see why you've called on me princess, don't worry, we'll send our best assassin through the portal."
This was the Siren Hunter guild's grandmaster assassin.
His cutie mark was that of a snake wrapped around a dead siren's body with the words 'Song of Death' on the scroll underneath the symbol.
When Twilight Sparkle nodded to the hooded pony, she took notice of the giant next to the stallion.
"I present to you, Emerald Glimmer, the firstborn son of the house of Glimmer in the Emerald Isles, master hunter and expert tracker, he will kill the sirens in that dimension, plus he is at your complete disposal and he will not stop until all sirens are dead, Princess Twilight.
Go ahead, ask him his mission."
Twilight Sparkle looked up at the giant of a stallion as she walked towards him before she asked what she wanted to ask.
"Emerald Glimmer?"
The stallion stiffened with a salute to the princess before he himself spoke in a loud voice.
"Ready and waiting for your command, Princess Twilight Sparkle of Canterlot, first of her name and Princess of Friendship."
Twilight Sparkle was about to comment about the sudden need to tell him to tone down the formalities but thought against it as she asked something else instead.
"What is your mission Emerald Glimmer?!"
Emerald Glimmer looked at the Princess with a warm smile which spelt murder for his enemies, which made Twilight mentally note never to get on the Emerald Isles bad side before he spoke.
"To hunt down and kill the siren plague which has ravaged the Emerald Isles and Equestria for centuries, ma'am."
Twilight Sparkle was impressed at the sharp answer before Loki stepped in and asked a question.
"How do you feel about Siren Kings who murder innocents for sport?"
"Second the same as the first..."
He looks at the portal before continuing.
"...Just send me through so I can put him in a hearse."
With a satisfied smirk, Twilight Sparkle turned to the commander with a happy tone to her voice.
"He starts today."
Once everything was agreed, Emerald Glimmer was sent on his way to the human world, however, he was not prepared for what would come next for him the next day.
