I followed my nose to the stench of the gas from the pickup truck that belonged to the thugs till I came to a old torn down house. "This must be their hideout," I thought. I saw the truck there and can smell the gas from when it was on but now it wasn't, it seemed like they just stopped here. I snuck up to the front window and wiped dust off it and glanced inside and saw what I couldn't even believe to be true. There was a caldron with a bubbling red potion in it and spellbooks containing dark magic in them from the looks of it. I heard footsteps coming from the room and I ducked to make sure whoever was coming in wouldn't see me looking through their window. The two people came in and I slowly took a peek to see who they where and they where those exact same men that I met back near at Target where I was shopping. They where wearing robes and pointed hats almost like they where some sort of warlocks which I had a feeling when it came down to dark Equestrian magic.
"Good thing we found a spell to get into other dimensions, especially that stupid pony dimension," said the one thug in a warlock robe and hat. "Yeah, but it was no fun being a dumb pastel colored pony," the lead thug growled. I gasped. "So they turned to dark magic to get into other dimensions to get whatever they want," I pondered. I knew now they must've gotten into Equestria by using dark magic to get magical Equestrian artifacts to get the power to have whatever they want. I saw the lead thug stirring the caldron till I noticed he was done with whatever he was doing in that red glowing potion. He took out a spell book and said some words I didn't understand what he was saying when a flash of green light filled the whole house and then went away and all the red glowing potion in the caldron was gone but the lead thug took out several red Pendents with necklace things came out glowing. "Now we have copies of those Pendents that we put around that girly's neck," he sneered. "Yeah, yeah, and now we can curse those cops and anyone that tries to get in our way!," the lead thug's partner laughed stupidly. The lead thug tailed his arm at him threatening to hit him to shut up because was about to say that. "I gotta tell somebody, I'm not sure about the cops though because they probably don't know those thugs possess powerful dark magic, but I have to try!" I whispered as I ran off to find help.
