The beautiful yet haunting sounds of the sirens continued to echoe throughout the building. "It sounds so beautiful!" Rarity said in awe.
"Rarity, focus! You can't let them distract you!" Twilight said.
"We have to stop them! This place is full of negative energy and who knows how powerful they will get!" Twilight said.
"Hey! Put your hands up!" shouted angry voices. Twilight then realized they were guards aiming thier guns at them.
"Put 'em up!" they repeated.
"Right now looks like we have some ass kicking to do!" Rainbow said with a smirk. She used her speed to get behind one of the guards and violently shove him against the wall. Another guard tried to shoot her but he was no match for her speed. She quickly went up and tossed him against another one the guards knocking them out. She grabbed both guns.
"Fluttershy!" she shouted tossing one to her.
Fluttershy squeaked as she caught it. "Wha-Rainbow! I don't know how-"
But two guards rapidly advanced towards her and she unintentionally threw the gun at them. They both had confused expressions on thier face.
Rainbow gave Fluttershy a 'seriously?' look. "You were supposed to shoot it! Not throw it!" She demonstrated by aiming the gun and shooting down a few guards. Killing them in the process. A guard tried to attack AppleJack but ended up getting punched through the wall. Twilight used her telekinesis to attack send a projectile painitng at them. The other guards knew they couldn't get close so they kept a safe distance and opened fired. Rarity produced diamond shields on her and her friends. The guards continued to attack. One of them managed to attack Rainbow knocking her to the ground, but before he could deliver the killing shot, he suddenly got attacked by Rarity from behind. She created a sharp diamond dagger and stabbed him, causing him to scream in pain as she pulled it out. Rainbow got an idea.
"Rarity! Hand a couple over to me!"
Now Rainbow used her speed to quickly take out the rest of the guards. Her speed and now adding to her lethal weapons proved to be fatal for the guards. After clearing out the guards. They still heard the voices of the sirens. This time it sounded louder and more stronger than before.
They heard the singing coming from the other room.
"You ready?" Sunset asked.
They nodded and stepped inside. They saw the sirens floating above the ground. Singing as green negative energy coursed through the room and found its way into thier new pendants.
"You!" Sunset angrily shouted. "Do you realize what you're doing?!"
Adagio and the others stopped singing. The lead siren looked at Sunset and made a cruel smile. "Ever since you miserable bitches defeated us at our last battle, we've been waiting for the perfect moment to get our revenge on you!" she raged. Then a wicked grin appeared on her face. "Chaos actually said you would help us!"
"Like hell I would!" Sunset shot back. Suddenly the other girls were pushed back by some unseen force. Chaos was in the room and he held a black gemstone. Rainbow pointed the gun at him but he held his hand and the gun went flying from her grip.
"ah ah ah...if you kill me, Berry dies," he threatened. "And if you also run away, Berry also dies! Suddenly Sunset was sent flying torwads Chaos and landed hard on the ground. She tried to attack him but it seemed like an invisible hand held her in her place, but Sunset knew it wasn't Twilight. She saw a mysterious masked figure holding out it's hands. Sunset knew it was the figure that was doing it.
"You will obey my every command!" Chaos said. He took a black gemstone from his pocket and snapped his fingers. Sunset suddenly collapsed to the ground.
"Sunset!" Pinkie screamed. "How could you, you monster!"
"Calm down, Pinkie. She's not dead." Chaos said calmly. He then took another energy gemstone and threw torwads the ground near Sunset. It's magic contained inside going into her.
"What are you doing?!" Rarity screamed.
Sunset got up again, to the girls's relief. However Sunset's face was emotionless as she stood there. Chaos pointed torwards the other girls. "Kill them," he ordered. Sunset only nodded.
Chaos and the masked figure teleported away from the scene leaving the girls alone with the Sirens.
Twilight ran over to Sunset. "Sunset, are you ok-"
Sunset quickly got up and blasted a deadly beam of magical energy at her. Rainbow quickly pushed Twilight out of the way.
"Sunset, what are you doing?! Stop!" AppleJack shouted but Sunset ignored her as she continued to attack her friends. The Sirens laughed as they enjoyed watching what was happening to the girls. Then they began to transform into thier true forms. They soon started to attack with thier singing voices. This time there was something new to it. The new pendants had the ability to drain magic from the girls!
Rainbow tried to use her speed to attack the Sirens but to her shock Sunset was somehow just as quick as her and roughly attacked her to the floor. "Sunset, knock it off!" she said. Then she looked into the fire-haired girl's eyes and realized the irisis were dark red. "Oh no..."
Sunset let out a scream of rage as she attacked her friends.
"We have to stop her!" AppleJack shouted.
"But she's our friend!" Fluttershy cried. "We can't hurt her!"
"But we have no choice!"
The sirens, in thier true form began to circle around the girls while Sunset continued to attack them. To the girl's terror, they could feel thier magic being drained away by the sirens. But they couldn't do anything because without one of the elements to help them, they were all screwed!
The other girls ponied up and attacked the Sirens. They engaged in a battle as the girls used thier powers and the Sirens attacked back. Adagio dived in to kill Twilight but Rainbow pushed her at the last second. Unfortnatley, Sunset attacked both Twilight and Rainbow with a deadly lazer beam. The battle still raged on. The Sirens continued to attack and use thier singing gaining even more power.
The girls struggled to keep on fighting as Sunset relentlessly attacked them. Twilight tried to use her magic but felt herself getting weaker and weaker. "What's happening?!" she gasped.
"I think our magic is draining!" Pinkie said. To thier horror, the magic they had suddenly went weaker. AppleJack had a significant decrease in strength, Rainbow lost a lot of speed, and the other girls had a decrease in thier powers.
"No! It can't be!" Twilight cried. "We can't lose!" But they were losing hope fast. They were getting overpowered. To make matters even worse, as the girls grew weaker, Sunset seemed to grow even more powerful. A radiant aura formed around her.
"What's wrong?" Aria taunted. "Getting tired already?"
Rainbow Dash charged at Aria but was met with a powerful blow that sent her crashing at the wall. A painful groan came from her as she tried to get up but the next thing she knew, Sunset was in her face with a snarled expression. This wasn't Sunset anymore. Rainbow tried to get away but Sunset punched her sending her through the wall with a loud crash. Rainbow gritted her teeth after the painful blow as she clutched her side.
"Rainbow!" Rarity and Twilight gasped. Sunset charged again but this time, AppleJack intervened. Feeling guilty what she was going to do, AJ attacked Sunset but the fired-hair girl was ready. She did a flying back-kick hitting AJ in the face, then she grabbed her leg and violently tossed her to the ceiling, hard. AJ tried to keep up but Sunset was too fast and powerful. Delivering blows after blows while AJ tried to block but her weakened state made it even harder. Twilight extended her hands to push Sunset away but Sunset was quicker and Twilight felt a giant hand toss her to the wall. Similar to Rainbow.
"Come on, I've seen better!" Adagio sneered. She laughed and the other two Sirens joined in. "We'll leave you friends alone. Try not to be too rough on them, Sunset!" The Sirens flew away leaving the girls with Sunset.
"Sunset! Please! We're you're friends!" Twilight despratley tried. "Don
't you remember us?!"
"That's not Sunset, Twilight!" AJ screamed. Sunset attacked AJ but Twilight used the last amount of her strength to knock Sunset back. The loud hit caused a loud shaking in the room and the huge chandlier that was on top came crashing down. On to Sunset.
"SUNSET NOOOOOO!!!!" The girls cried out in despair. But the bloody body, underneath the glass shards wasn't moving.
Twilight quickly went over to Sunset and removed the shards from her. She shook her friend in an attempt to wake her up. "Sunset! Sunset! If you can hear me please wake up!" But the body covered in blood was not responding. Tears started to prick the corner of her eyes. "No no no no no. You can't die!"
The other girls were crying also. Pinkie's hair deflated, Fluttershy put her hands over her mouth. Rarity hugged Fluttershy and AppleJack comforted Rainbow and Pinkie.
Is Sunset...really dead?
