//------------------------------// // The sirens // Story: The Sirens Song // by stormfury12 //------------------------------// In the back alley way of a small building, a lone figure was cloaked by the night, not even the moon illuminated her body. A girl, or at least a being who appeared to be a girl, was in actuality a Siren, and had now been banished to an unknown world. "What...what is this? Where are we! Aria!? Sonata!?" The girl had orange hair and purple eyes. Her name was Adagio. She shot up and found herself unable to stand, she instantly fell over into a puddle of water and gasped at her reflection. She was unable to scream due to the mix of awe, and horror that overcame her. "What am I!?" she brought her limbs up to her face, they had five fingers on them. She wiggled them and felt dread overcome her. What was she? She looked around for her friends. Her allies. They were no where to be seen, at least not to her. "Sonata!? Aria!?" Adagio began to breath heavily, her chest felt like it was on fire, her entire body felt weak as if it was about to fall apart any second. She was lost, confused, and felt her composure begin to fall apart. "Take deep breaths Adagio..." She opened her mouth and took a long deep breath, and found that she had relaxed somewhat. "By freaking Lord Tirek, Adagio, you're so freaking loud!" A voice chimed in. Adagio turned and saw a purple haired girl standing in the darkness. Her arms folded and a disgusted look was etched across her face. "A...Aria!? Is that....you?" Adagio tried to stand up again but fell back to the ground. Her entire body was different, she had yet to adjust to it. "Well duh. Jeez Adagio you're the worst sometimes." Aria walked over and held her hand out to Adagio who took hold of it and Aria pulled her up. "How are you standing? Or walking for that matter?" Adagio asked. Aria rolled her eyes and snorted. "Its easy. Jeez, and you're supposed to be our ever so grand leader." Adagio was too freaked out and disoriented to be angered by Aria's words. She wobbled around for a moment before something came to her mind, as if she all of a sudden understood how to control this odd new body. An instinct if you will. "Aha!" A feeling of success came over Adagio. "Jeez well aren't you just grand. You learned how to walk. Bravo." Aria sarcastically clapped her hands and was met with Adagio's cold glare. "Aria would you please hold you tongue for one moment. We need-" "Need to what? Get a better leader that's what! It was your idea to trust StarSwirl, it was your idea to buy these stupid jewels from that creepy pony, and it was your idea to create our Siren manifestations to attack Equestria. This is all your fault. Some leader you are! You're the worst in every way Adagio." Aria practically snarled. Adagio felt anger overcome her and she grabbed Aria by the collar of her hood and brought her in close. "It was a group effort Aria! All three of us wanted to be more than simple ponies! Don't blame me for everything!" Adagio let go of Aria's collar. "Besides if you betrayed us I would-" "Do what? Yell at me a little? You're powerless here just like me and Sonata!" Adagio did all she could to remain calm and collected. Aria did this from time to time, she had always been moody and quick to anger. She had yet to see or hear Sonata and a small part of her was worried for her. "We just need to relax, okay? Now Aria, where's Sonata?" Aria rolled her eyes and nodded over to the corner of the alleyway. Sure enough Sonata was laying sprawled out and upside down on a bed of a garbage. Her long blue hair was messy and wild. "Sonata! Are you okay?" "Adagio? Oh I think so...I feel funny though..." Sonata rolled off the bag of trash and slammed into a puddle. "Oh my gosh! A monster! it's a monster! Ah!" Aria slapped her hand on to her face and shook her head. Adagio walked over and helped Sonata up. "Oh...yeah it's just water. I'm fine. I'm fine....I think..." Sonatas gaze came to her reflection in the puddle and she let out a high pitch scream. "What am I! What is this and this and this and that?!" Sonata looked over her entire body at lighting fast speed. Her breathing was growing faster and faster along with her heart beat. "What happened to us!?" "I don't know what we are, but I do know that we aren't in Equestria any more. We need to stay calm-" Adagio replied "Calm? Ha, and you're over here freaking out. Jeez what a hypocrite." Aria chimed in with a sneer. "Right now is not the time Aria! We need to figure out where we are, what we are now, and if any of our powers remain with us." Adagio spat back. She had made herself the leader when the three joined forces, mainly because of her ability to remain calm in most situations and keep her mind on the situation at hand. Aria usually only ever thought about herself while Sonata was too naive to do much in the way of planning and solving things. "Well we still have our jewels at least, maybe we can still sing!" Sonata fiddled with the scarlet jewel around her neck. "Yes we still have our jewels, but we need to test them first. You're probably right Sonata." Adagio walked towards the exit of the alleyway with a curvacious stride, bringing out her hips. "What are you doing Adagio? You look like a freaking fool." Aria spat. "I don't know, but I like it. I feel good. Now lets find a test subject."She motioned for them to follow, and they did. They flipped up their hoods and peered out of the alleyway opening. There were strange lights and an odd path that was a dark grey and covered in yellow lines. The buildings were similar to Equestria's but looked sharper, and far more advanced. "This place is so weird..." Sonata looked around in awe at all of the sights. It was nothing like she had ever seen before. Adagio pointed towards a figure walking along the sidewalk. He was tall and thin with long hair, and a beanie. "Well lets see what we can do. Ready girls?" Aria and Sonata nodded in response and the three jumped out of the alleyway onto the sidewalk causing the long haired guy to jump a little. "What the heck?! You guys scared me!" He relaxed a little but his face was now sour with irritation. Adagio began to hum, and soon Sonata and Aria followed in a beautiful and melodic song. The long haired guy was confused at first, but soon he felt strange as if some force was commanding his body. His body froze and became stiff while his eyes glowed with a creepy green hue. "Yes! We still have our power!" Adagio cut the hum off causing the boy to shake his head. He shrugged and walked off as if nothing had happened. "What are you doing Adagio!? We could have had dinner!" Aria yelled. "You can gorge your huge appetite later Aria! We still have our powers...and you know what that means right?" Adagio held the jewel firmly between her slender fingers. Aria's sour frown turned into a twisted smile. Sonata looked at both of them in confusion. "What does it mean?" Sonata asked. An awkward pause followed, and Aria groaned and folded her arms. Adagio turned towards Sonata and giggled. "It means dear, that we can regain our powers...." Adagio swiveled on her heel and stood against the wind with her hands firmly on her hips, and a large smile across her face. "And take back what belongs to us! We can be adored again, no not can...we will!"
