Raphael's P.O.V.
Sunset and I immediately called Leo, Donnie, and Mikey to get over to our house ASAP, because this was serious, and to bring their weapons. I got out my old Nightwatcher armor, debating with myself whether I should put it back on. That suit was made back when I was 18. I'm 24 now, I wonder if it still fits me? Those thoughts are put aside once my brothers come to our house, the girls accompanying them. Leo takes one look at Garrett, and the both of them stand back in shock, looking at each other.
It's definitely jarring to say the least. But at least I can tell Leo and Garrett apart. "Wow, it's like looking in a mirror all over again..." Leo said in disbelief. "So you're Raphael's brother, Leonardo?" Garrett asked in shock, trying to process all this. "Yeah, and I'm Sci-Twi's boyfriend," replied Leo, trying to cut this awkward tension. Garrett smiled and said, "Well it's nice to meet you Leo. I'm just glad I get to meet and befriend all of Raphael's brothers. I just wish it wasn't under these circumstances..." Mikey looked at Billy and asked, "is the blue beaver with you, Garrett?"
"Yep, I'm his friend, Billy." The blue beaver replied, smiling. "Did he just talk?" Rarity asked, creeped out. "Ah come on Sugarcube, we're friends with a talkin' mutant turtle and two Alicorns who are human in this dimension! How's this any different?" Applejack asked, raising an eyebrow. Can't argue with that logic. "I like her," commended Billy. After everyone got acquainted with Billy; Garrett, Sunset, and I explained to everyone who The Storm King and Tempest Shadow were, and what they were doing to Equestria. After we explained everything, Donnie asked, "so there's a high probability this Storm King might send one of his underlings to hunt and capture Garrett and Billy?"
"Basically yeah," confirmed Garrett. "Where's Dusk Shard when you need him most?" Dash jokingly asked in a sardonic manner. "Who?" My three brothers all asked in clueless unison. "Friend of ours. If I knew better, I would've asked for his help," said Garrett, "I hope Tempest or Storm King didn't kill him." We all nodded, worried for him. "Don't worry Garrett, we'll all protect you and Billy," promised Leo. Suddenly, Sunset's cell phone rang. She picked it up and asked, "Hello? Oh hey Principal Celestia. How are you and Luna? How bad is it? Okay, we'll be there." She then hung up. "What's going on babe?" I asked. "Principal Celestia called," said Sunset, "she wants us all to get to the school. It's an emergency."
We then rushed over to Canterlot High School to see what the big emergency was. We saw Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna outside, looking as if they saw something gruesome and bloody. "We made it as soon as we could Principal," said Sunset, "is something wrong?" Celestia sighed and said, "two former students were murdered an hour ago." We all gasped in horror. "Who was it?" Fluttershy asked. "It was Sombra and Flash Sentry," replied Luna. Okay to be fair, Sombra and Sentry were a bunch of assholes. True they weren't evil as Shredder, but that didn't mean I liked them. But I certainly wouldn't want to wish death upon them. "What were they doing there anyway?" Dash asked. "That doesn't matter," replied Luna, "this is what we found." We were then guided to the bloody mangled corpses of Flash Sentry and Sombra. Or whatever was left of them. Seriously, the only way we could recognize them was by their clothes. It was gruesome. The girls screamed. Garrett and Sunset hurled. "And I thought my interrogation with Bebop and Rocksteady was brutal," I said, horrified at what I saw. Sci-Twi hugged Leo in tears. Sci-Twi and Flash's relationship was complicated to say the least. He was still hung up on Princess Twilight, and constantly flirted with her human doppelganger, much to her annoyance. She wasn't in love with him. But by the way she was crying, I can tell she thought he didn't deserve this. "Look! There's a message!" Pinkie pointed out. We looked to where Pinkie was pointing at, and noticed a message written in blood. It said, "I'M COMING FOR YOU, SHIMMER! AND BILLY TOO!" Uh-oh. Garrett and Billy gave looks of dread. "Someone's after my brother and his friend Billy, Principal Celestia..." Sunset told Celestia. "That doesn't look like anything from Equestria," said Garrett, "mostly because I've never seen anything so cannibalistic. But whatever it is... The Storm King must have sent it, and it has clearly shown that it wants us..." I'm definitely going to need my Nightwatcher armor.
