We were sneaking around the area and made sure to stay out of sight of everyone we met and saw while making our way to the tent but once we made it there was one of the people standing guard so we had to use Aria's knife to sneak in through the side but this was good cause now we were under and behind the stands which helped us get a good look at Coreana as she was sucking some sort of green smoke out of the people around her and all of the green smoke was going into a red gem that was around her neck
"This still isn't enough, I'm gonna need a lot more if I wish to go back to my true form and rule this world if only these humans had captured those three, Adagio, Aria, and Sonata must also have some magic within themselves and by taking that I can return to my true form." Coreana said and I looked at the girls
"What is this about true form?" I asked but Adagio waved me off
"Later Eric, remember why we're here." Adagio said and I nodded then we began moving to the outside of the stands "Alright, everyone knows their role?" she asked and we all nodded then she put three fingers up and slowly put one down after another and when they were all gone we ran in yelling
Coreana suddenly turned around shocked "What is this?" she said then we all ran at her making her walk backward "Protect me." she ordered the people and they all turned to us and ran at us
We were still running at them then I moved in front of the girls and shoulder charged into the group of people and while they were trying to push back against me the girls used my shoulders to get above the crowd and jump over them making some of the people turn around and chase after them and while they ran after the girls I did my best to push back against the group in front of me but I was losing ground as expected when faced against a whole group but I was able to peek behind them and see the girls fight off their pursuers and continue running at Coreana
"Get over here humans." Coreana said then a lot of the people pushing against me ran back to her which made me able to push back much easier until I used all of my strength and pushed the rest of the people back and made the first person fall onto the person behind him then I ran after the rest of the people while the girls had finally reached Coreana and Aria took out her knife and went to grab her "Get back!" she yelled then Aria grabbed her arm and Coreana grabbed Aria's other arm with the knife in it and kept it away then Aria smirked and threw the knife as hard as she could behind her and Adagio picked it up and went to grab her herself but Coreana moved Aria so she was in the way making Adagio stop then Coreana pushed Aria into her making both of them fall and the knife slipped out of Adagio's hand
Sonata picked up the knife "Don't worry guys, I got this." she said then she ran at Coreana but Coreana didn't do anything to defend herself as Sonata pushed her down but then before Sonata used the knife to destroy her gem Coreana put her hand up
"Wait, please Sonata." Coreana said and Sonata actually did stop and I quickly ran over and help Adagio and Aria get out of the grip of the people and push them back "Listen, I know what you did to me was wrong but I have given it some thought and I forgive you." she said and Sonata was shocked
Sonata slowly put her hand down "Really?" she asked and Coreana nodded
"You didn't want to sell me out but when faced with nowhere else to go you didn't have a choice so I forgive you." Coreana said then she slowly grabbed the knife "Can we still be friends?" she asked and once she had the knife she threw it away and held out her arms to Sonata
Sonata hugged her "Of course we can." she said then she got off of Coreana and helped her up then Sonata turned to us "Hey guys, we don't have to destroy her gem anymore, she wants to be friends agai-whoa I feel woozy." she said and we turned back to see the same green smoke go out of Sonata and to Coreana as she smirked then Sonata dropped to her knees
Coreana laughed "That was way easier than I thought, oh Sonata you fool, why would I ever forgive someone who sold me out so easily? I swore to make all of you pay for what you've done and I'll never forgive any of you." she said
Adagio turned and was about to run to Sonata but was grabbed by one of the people and she struggled to get free "Sonata, you fool, all you had to do was destroy her gem!" she said and I ran over to help Adagio but then a group of them dogpiled me and kept me down as I watched Aria get captured herself
Aria glared at Sonata "Damn it Sonata, why couldn't you do one simple task? the plan was to destroy her gem not let her go, I knew you would be the one to mess it up to you idiot." she said and I was about to say something but then Coreana stepped forward while laughing
"This scene is too perfect for me, all of the same sirens responsible for betraying me fighting each other, I'm surprised you haven't betrayed on another already." Coreana said then she walked over to Aria as she tried to get herself free and glared at Coreana "hello there Aria, I hope you don't mind if I take your magic, what am I talking about of course you don't." she said then she sucked up the green smoke from Aria making her stop struggling "That was delicious, now it's your turn Adagio." she said as she walked over to her and I struggled under the group of people
"Don't touch her." I said making her chuckle
"And what will you do if I do? you're just a lowly human, you have no magic and in no way special at all, you humans only exist to feed creatures like myself, so know your place before I put you there." Coreana said then she continued walking to Adagio and Adagio glared at her just like Aria "Don't look at me like that Adagio, you only have yourself to blame for what's to happen, look on the bright side I'll be all-powerful and take over the world while you three will be left in the mud." she said
Adagio huffed "How am I supposed to look at that as the bright side?" she asked
Coreana shrugged "I guess this is more of a bright side for me than you, now hold still." she said then she sucked the green smoke out of Adagio and once it was over she started to glow and transformed as her hair grew extra log and ears sprouted up from her head then wings appeared and she was floating while surrounded by a red aura "Oh, it feels good to finally have full power, my magic is finally at its peak while you three don't have anymore, now I will use this power to take over the whole world, nobody will be able to resist my voice but before that." she said then she turned to me and floated over "You would make an excellent slave just like the rest of the humans." she said
I glared at her "I won't do anything for someone like you." I said
Coreana chuckled "You won't have a choice, without anyone to help you, you'll become enchanted by my song easily." she said then she began singing and I felt myself being dragged into so I thought quick and made a quick decision and spat in her face making her stop singing and glare at me as she wiped off my saliva then she went to the ground and kicked me in my side making me cough but she didn't stop kicking
"Stop...leave him...alone." Sonata said trying to pick herself up then Coreana stopped breathing heavily
"You're not worth the trouble of being made or of my slaves, damn human scum." Coreana said then she began floating again "Put them in the cages in the back, I'll deal with them later." she said then the people moved all of us to the back and shoved us into a cage, and locked the door before leaving
Sonata came over to me and lifted my head "Eric, I'm so sorry, I believed her when she said she was sorry, I should have destroyed her gem when I had the chance, this is all my fault." she said as tears were coming down her face
"It's alright sonata." I said
Aria suddenly spoke up "No it's not alright, none of this would have happened if Sonata just went through with it and destroyed her gem, this is all your and your small brains' fault." she said
Sonata looked down "I'm sorry, I was fooled by her act-."
"You shouldn't have been fooled at all but what can I expect from someone as dumb as you." Aria cut her off making Sonata look even sadder "I knew including you on this plan was a bad idea, you're nothing but an ido-."
"ARIA, THAT'S ENOUGH!" I yelled making her stop talking then I sat up and coughed a bit "I know that Sonata messed up but don't you know how she's feeling about this right now." I said and Aira looked at sonata sobbing behind me "She knows she messed up and there's no way for her to make up for it but you insulting her won't make anything better." I said and Aria looked away then I crawled over to her and put a hand on her shoulder "Right now we shouldn't focus on putting people down but instead how to get out of here, so apologize to Sonata." I said
Aria sighed then looked back at Sonata "I'm sorry for insulting you Sonata." she said plainly but Sonata took it and smiled then I crawled over to Sonata
"You really did mess up when you failed to destroy her gem Sonata." I said making her look down then I hugged her close "But as long as you and the others are alright I could care less, but if that woman hurt any of you then I would have done something even I would regret." I said and I could feel Sonata hug back then we let go of each other and I looked at Adagio as she stared at what just happened between all of us "You wouldn't happen to have a plan to get us out?" I asked
Adagio thought for a moment "We could pick the lock but none of us exactly know how to." she said
I nodded "I know how to, when I was young I was locked in my room a lot by Emilia, I had to use her hairpins to teach myself how to pick a lock, after a long time I eventually did it and she stopped locking me in my room since it was useless now, do either of you have hairpins?" I asked then Adagio reached into her hair ad pulled one out then I crawled over and took it from her then I went to the door and stuck my harm past the bars and began my lockpicking
"By the way, why were you locked in your room so much?" Sonata asked and I smirked
"I kept eating her favorite cookies and cake, she always asked our parents for some but as soon as they came she locked me in my room to make sure she had them all to herself when I finally picked the lock she was forced to share them with me." I said then I heard Aria giggle
"You were locked in your room for such a stupid reason, I was expecting something like she did it for fun or something." Aria said and I chuckled
"Maybe sometimes she did, but you'll have to ask her how she felt about it after we save her." I said then I had finally finished picking the lock and opened the door "there we go since Coreana doesn't know we escaped we still have the upper hand, we can destroy that gem." I said as I left the cage but as soon as I stood up I felt a sharp pain in my side from where she kicked me multiple times and Sonata quickly came over and helped to keep my on my feet
Sonata sighed "We can't risk going to destroy her gem now, we're all exhausted since she took our magic and you're injured, we need to get out of here." she said and I saw Aria's surprised face to Sonata actually using her brain for once
Adagio nodded "I agree, we can't take her like this and there's the fact that she has become fully charged with magic, if we go out there then we're finished, we need help." she said then she got an idea from what I could tell from her face "We need the elements of harmony, as much as I didn't want to ask them for help we don't have a choice." she said but I was confused
"What's the elements of harmony?" I asked
Aria sighed "They are the group you've seen us around so much, they were the ones who defeated us when we tried to take over the school." she said
Sonata nodded "If we tell them about what's happening here then they'll come right over and take care of Coreana easily." she said and I nodded
"So, all we have to do is get to the car and get out of here, shouldn't be too hard." I said but as soon as I tried to walk the sharp pain came back making me stop and Sonata helped me by putting my arm around her shoulder "Thanks Sonata."
Sonata nodded "It's the least I can do to make up for what I've done." she said hen she looked at Aria and Adagio "We need to be a lot more sneaky since Eric is hurt, he won't be able to move much until we treat his injuries." she said and both of them nodded then Adagio moved and put my other arm around her shoulder
"You need help with moving him, none of us are exactly in top shape either." Adagio said and Sonata nodded then she looked back at Aria "Aria, be our lookout, warn us if someone is coming." she said and Aria nodded
We began moving slowly through the tent and past a few guards until we had made it under the stands from before and through the hole, we made earlier then we snuck behind each stand but as we walked through the area we eventually saw Coreana in front of a big group of people
"Finally, my circus days are over, now that I have all the power I need it's finally time I moved onto the next phase of my plan and taking over the nearest city, from there I will amass an army big enough to help me take over the world then one I have finally conquered this world I'll find a way back to Equestria and use my army to conquer that world as well, I'll rule both worlds with an iron fist and no one will be able to stop me, not even Star swirl the bearded." Coreana said then she flew high into the air "Come my army, it's time to show these humans their rightful place, under my boot." she said then she few forward then the large group of people followed her until they left the parking lot and disappeared into the forest that wasn't too far from the circus
We took this chance to get to our car and once in I started the car and we drove off and since we followed the road we didn't have to worry about running into Coreana
"We need to get to town as fast as we can, we have to warn everyone." Sonata said and I nodded
"Alright, we get to town then we do what we can to stop Coreana and her army, we also find these elements of harmony and tell them everything, hopefully, you guys are right about them being able to stop her." I said and they nodded as we drove back to town
