"WHAT?!" Pinkie Pie said, finally breaking the silence.

"Sunset Shimmer has offered me a place to stay whilst I spend time in this world." Twilight said, explaining her reasons for staying in the human world. "Since The Dazzlings might need a helping hand to teach them the right from wrong, I was more than happy to accept her generous offer."

"Forgive me for trying to convince you to get back home, Twilight. But what about your subjects back in Equestria?" Rarity decided to ask once she'd heard Twilight's explanation. "Don't you need to keep them and your world safe from threats?"

"Equestria has been seeing a rapid decrease in villains recently." Sunset Shimmer furthered the explanation. "Twilight feels her priorities not only fall to Equestria, but to this world as well."

"The last Equestria incident we had was Lord Tirek. a Centaur who could take the strength of Earth Ponies, the flight of Pegasi and the magic of Unicorns." Twilight said, putting a hand on her chin. "Since then, no new threats have arisen in Equestria. However, with the whole Battle Of The Bands thing, I'm starting to feel like this world is also in grave danger."

"So, what Twilight is saying, is that she will spend most of her time here. Making sure this world is also safe from attacks like mine and The Dazzlings' little outburst." Sunset wrapped up the explanation. "Twilight will only head back to Equestria, if her pony friends need her for a matter of CRITICAL importance."

"I still think you're putting us in front of your real friends." Rainbow Dash said, crossing her arms. "It doesn't matter what happens to us, your true priorities lie in Equestria, not Earth."

"Even if something terrible happens to us. You belong in Equestria, your own world." Fluttershy said, adding to Rainbow's little testament. "Coming to this world and staying here, leaves your real friends to fight off their own problems."

"I appreciate your concerns about me, but Equestria is starting to run out of bad guys, like Sunset said earlier." Twilight said, looking at Musician's Delight once more. "From the looks of things, the Princess of Friendship is gonna be getting an early retirement from fighting."

"It sure looks that way, doesn't it?" Sunset said, watching The Dazzlings play once more.

"You're taking a big risk here, Twilight." Applejack said, picking her hat off of her head. "Ya can't possibly be able ta defend both our worlds together, not without someone tryin' ta help ya through it."

"There could be an even bigger threat growing as we speak!" Twilight said, flailing her arms up in the air wildly. "I've been doing some research, and there are MORE Sirens that could be plaguing this world right now!"

"Hold on a second, Twilight." Pinkie said, trying to put this puzzle together in her head. "More mean-yet-innocent looking singers in this world?!"

"Yes." Twilight said, calming down at last. "In fact, my research has come to a conclusion on the fact that there's a whole SPECIES of Sirens, yet they were all but erased from existence with the war..."

"War?" Rarity asked, tilting her head in confusion. "I'm afraid I don't quite see the point, Twilight. What war?"

"The war that separated the three worlds forever." Twilight sat down, getting the rest of the girls to sit as well. "I can tell you the story, if you'd like..."





Eons ago, the universe as we know it had been carved into three separate pieces of one big reality. Human, Equine and Siren. Each of these worlds co-existed with one another, due to everyone's belief in the other two worlds. As long as the three species believed in the other species, the worlds were able to exist.

The Human World, the one we're all living in right now, was a cesspool of hatred and fury once. Not one person could get along with each other. The other world, Equestria, was a world of bliss and harmony. The hatred of humans and the bliss of ponies were the two balances handed down from the third world, Lyrica.

Lyrica was home to the Siren species, who oversaw both the hatred and bliss of both worlds and made it into an equal balance. Utilizing their equal powers, Sirens gave both hatred and bliss to both worlds, so long as they could maintain the balance.

A Siren's principality works to preserve both the hatred and bliss of both worlds, by keeping the balance equal. In short, they had to make some hatred when there was too much bliss, and as such, they had to calm down the anger when there was too much of it.

The Dazzlings didn't maliciously attack Canterlot High, they were acting on their species' behalf, making sure the balance was kept between both bliss and hatred. Without preserving both elements, Canterlot High would have fallen into a state of eternal bliss, and the balance would have been toppled.

In a world where there is too much bliss, humans and ponies die out from being too relaxed. Their breathing and functions stop and they just drop like flies. However, in a world where there is too much hatred, humans and ponies would be going straight for each others' throats, causing war after war after war until there would be nothing left of both worlds.

A Siren's pendant isn't necessary in most occasions. Only when things get dire for the group with the pendants do they have to use them. As for the pendants themselves, they can merely duplicate energy created from either hatred or bliss, and store it inside of them, as a power booster for whenever Sirens went into battle.

The pendants themselves have no limits, enabling Sirens to reach unstoppable levels of ultimate power, when the time is truly right. Even with all the power they hold, they have to stick to their duties and keep the worlds' balance of hatred and bliss in order. The Dazzlings noticed there was far too much bliss at CHS when Equestrian Magic snuck into your hearts, and that caused them to follow their duties and spread malice and hatred.

It was an order that every Siren had to follow, under penalty of execution. However, there's no need for the execution law now that the Siren species has turned to dust. The war happened in the early days of Equestria's founding, when the worlds got their bliss and hatred.

Sirens were unable to make enough bliss for the world, and that led to an eternity of strife. One by one, Sirens, ponies and humans went to war with one another. The unbalance opened up dimensional fissures, enabling the armies to travel across the three plains of existence and fight the other species. Try as hard as the Sirens fought, they were decimated by their opponents.

After eons of strife, the Sirens were declared extinct. But not before the humans and ponies discovered the balance between emotions. Feeling regretful for what they had done, the humans and ponies formed a truce, bringing the balance back to normal and allowing them to return to their own worlds.

When the dust cleared, Lyrica was left to rot. Without any Sirens to keep the balance, Lyrica's buildings and structures fell to pieces. The few survivors either joined their companions in the afterlife or went into hiding. From what my research has told me, The Dazzlings aren't the only survivors of the great war. There were others...





"Whoa..." Rainbow Dash said as the story came to an end. All that new information was critical to her and her friends. "To think, a whole species of Sirens..."

"I've been searching for more Sirens in Equestria, but all I've been getting is perfectly normal readings." Twilight explained. "But also because Pinkie Pie keeps barging in and messing up the signal."

"What?" Pinkie said, shrugging off her suspicions as each of the girls shot a look at her that implied that she'd really messed up.

"Not you, Pinkie." Twilight chuckled. "My Pinkie Pie, the one from Equestria."

"Oh, alrighty then, so I'm not in trouble." She said, returning to her usual bouncy state.

"So what are we supposed to do?" Rainbow Dash asked, clearly frustrated. "Wait patiently until they hatch a devious plan for universal domination?"

"Twilight and I have been discussing ways on using The Dazzlings as a tool to stop the surviving Sirens from revolting." Sunset said, standing up from her sitting position. "We've come to an agreement that once they grow up again, we can use The Dazzlings as a counterattack against these new Sirens."

"But how do we do that?" Applejack decided to ask, curious to how The Dazzlings would even be able to fight without their pendants. "You said it yourself, they were just 'harmless teenage girls' after we whooped them at CHS."

"There's still a way for a Siren to reach its' true power, even without the pendants they cherish." Twilight explained. "If we can teach them to sing, that might be enough for their inner power to blossom forth and replenish their energy."

"But how? They sang like someone was murdering a mandrake after we defeated their-, whatever those things were." Rainbow Dash said, remembering how the Battle Of The Bands ended, with The Dazzlings suddenly losing their voices as they got up from the aftermath of that final attack.

"It might be tough, teaching them to rediscover singing, without their pendants. But I'm sure they can do it, in fact, I know they can." Twilight smiled, as she stood up with the rest of the Humane 5. "Given time, The Dazzlings will become fantastic singers, which will be able to break any Siren's spell."

"So, how do we teach them?" Fluttershy asked, brushing some hair out of her face.

"We'll just have to wait until they grow up." Sunset Shimmer said. "At around the age of 6 or 8, they might start to appreciate music a little more, and will want to be taught its' wondrous ways. They might sing appallingly to start with, but they'll want to learn from us, so we can make them better than ever."

"Speaking of The Dazzlings, I wonder how those cute little rascals are getting along?" Rainbow Dash said as she opened the door to Musician's Delight and saw the playful Siren infants once more.

"Hey! Don't keep the cute moments for yourself, Dashie!" Pinkie said as she and the other girls followed her into the room, so they could all see how The Dazzlings were getting on.





Adagio and Sonata were seen cuddling plush animals, squealing with delight as the soft fabric caressed their delicate bodies. As for Aria, she had been trying to walk again, still finding no success. However, she had moved on from the sorrow from earlier and now laughed whenever she fell over.

Twilight and Sunset would always swoon whenever Aria tried to walk on two legs and sometimes would even try to help her out with her walking skills. Whilst this led to her falling over less, Aria was getting nowhere in trying to walk on two legs.

"Do you need some help, Aria?" Twilight asked, extending her hand so that Aria could reach for it.

"Hehe, no tanks, Auntie Twiwight." She smiled as she got into a squat position and tried to push herself up into a stand once more, resulting in her losing her balance and falling on her diaper again. "I'ww get it, eventuawwy."

"Well, alright then. Take your time, Aria." Twilight said, letting the little Dazzling on her way.

Pinkie and Fluttershy were with Adagio, making cute faces to entertain her. Most of the faces came from Pinkie, since she had more experience on this sort of thing. Fluttershy was merely next to her, making her feel comforted.

As for Rarity, Rainbow Dash and Applejack, they were handling Sonata, making sure she didn't end up wandering out the door. When Sonata got close to the door, one of the three girls picked Sonata up, causing her to giggle as she was lifted through the air and put down in another part of the room.

"Aww... Who's a cute little girl?" Pinkie said, making Adagio interact with the little game she was playing.

"Me?" She asked, putting a finger on her face.

"Yes! You're right, Adagio. You are without a doubt, the cutest, most wonderful-est, most adorable little bundle of joy I've ever had the pleasure of knowing!" Pinkie said, bringing Adagio into a cute little hug which caused her to coo in bliss.

"Tank yoo, Auntie Pinkie." She said, pulling herself out of the little hug for a brief moment. Adagio and Pinkie had struck off their own little relationship together. It felt like an eternity of bliss was passing by the two of them as they hugged.

"Come on, Fluttershy! Join in!" Pinkie said, flexing her arm, motioning for her to join in the hug with Adagio and Pinkie. "There's plenty of hugs and kisses for everyone!"

"How could I ever say no to that?" Fluttershy said, smiling as she joined in, making Adagio feel even more loved. The bliss the three of them felt was undeniable. Adagio was cute, Pinkie and Fluttershy were good aunties and things would only get better for them from here.

"Hehe, wet's go again!" Sonata said, after being carried away from the door for what seemed like the tenth time. Eventually, Rarity and Applejack were starting to get a little bored of this and tried to get Sonata to do something other than just trying to get out of the room.

"Uhh... Ain't there anything else you'd like ta do, Sonata?" Applejack asked, kneeling down to Sonata's height. "There's more ta just playin' than trying ta run off."

"Yes, take it from Applejack. Running isn't the best way to have fun at this age." Rarity said, trying to explain to Sonata, hoping she'd understand. "Sweetie Belle tried running off quite a few times whilst she was just growing up. I almost had to lock her room to prevent her from doing such a naughty little thing like that ever again."

"Weww, I guess I wouwd wike ta bounce fow a whiwe..." Sonata said, looking at her bouncer with a happy look in her eyes. "Can yoo hewp me wid dis, Aunties?"

"Sure." Rainbow Dash said, smiling as she picked Sonata up, carried her through the air once more and gently putting her down in the harness, so that her feet were just barely touching the floor. "Go ahead, Sonata. Bounce as much as you want."

Sonata giggled as she used her feet to lightly bounce herself off of the floor. She liked this kind of sensation. Feeling weightless whenever she bounced up and then feeling gravity return to her as her feet descended back to the ground.

Sonata didn't want to stop this bouncing. She wanted to stay this way forever. However, she was going to get bored of this sooner or later. However, that didn't stop her from having as much fun as she could have with this sort of thing.

"Aww... Doesn't she look precious?" Rarity said, making a face of adoration as she watched Sonata bouncing like someone who was on the moon. "Like a cute little astronaut."

"Even I have to admit, that is cute." Rainbow Dash said, smiling as she agreed with Rarity on this matter. Almost makes me want kids of my own."

"You, raisin' kids?" Applejack said, sneaking in a little laugh as she'd acknowledged what Rainbow Dash had said. "Ah'm not quite sure you'd be able ta manage kids, Rainbow Dash. No offense."

"None taken, Applejack." She said, turning her head to see the cowgirl once again. "I'd have to get an awesome husband first. That way, we'd be able to leave both of our marks of awesomeness on our cute little offspring."

"That, ah can agree with ya on. It's hard work raisin' kids." Applejack said, as they both looked at Twilight, Sunset, Pinkie and Fluttershy managing with their Dazzlings. "But with a little bit a' help, childcare ain't hard in the slightest."

"Mama, can I get a hug?" Aria asked, looking up at Sunset with puppy dog eyes.

"How could I say no to a face like that?" Sunset said, pulling Aria into her warm embrace and wrapping her arms around the little infant. "Come on in, everyone. this hug won't last forever."

Both Adagio and Sonata heard this and were on board with Sunset's request. Adagio and Sonata were pulled from their current activities and were brought over to Twilight and Sunset. Once the three infants were back together again, they hugged, closing their eyes in bliss.

"Aww..." Said the seven grown-ups as they joined in the hug, all wrapping their arms around The Dazzlings and making them feel warm and at home. The amount of love shown in this one group hug was off the charts. Sunset and the Humane 6 loved The Dazzlings now, not just from a brainwashed perspective, but from an actual state of free will.

The Dazzlings looked at all their huggers and smiled, cooing as they snuggled into the warm embraces of each other's hugs. The girls could tell that The Dazzlings had lost all their evil with this one big hug. Soon, they'd grow up into charming little girls, who'd grow up into quite loveable adults in due time.





Meanwhile, The Blasters were in some kind of metallic hall, meddling with some electronic mechs. They still had their extensions as they worked, a sign that they were pouring their power into these robotic warriors they were creating.

"Remind me again, Fortissimo," Orchestral said as he used his pendant to electrically charge another line of mechs. "Why do we even need these robots in the first place?"

"When the Spirits of Harmony eventually come looking for us, these robots will act as a distraction." Fortissimo said, activating one of the mechs whilst bearing a smile. "The Equestrian Magic we acquired from that house was enough for us to replicate the memories of the life-forms we fed off of. I've detected a surge of magic whenever those six girls sang, so I've decided to make an army of robots who fight to these tunes, demoralizing the Spirits as the fight drags on." He smiled as he saw the robots trade their hands and feet for weapons. "Of course, I've added our own song to their audio output as well, so they can tell they're our toys."

"What's more, we've programmed these robots not to harm any Sirens." Allegro said, backing up Fortissimo's explanation. "This way, the Spirits will send The Dazzlings on ahead as they struggle to fend off these metallic copies of themselves, meaning there will be no-one to stand in the way of us and our little sisters..."

"We still need to take our sisters' powers to become complete." Fortissimo said, feeling the cold metal of a mech Rainbow Dash, with a red bar for its' eyes and chainsaw arms. "But this should deal with the stragglers they bring..."

"Amazing how technology has advanced over the years..." Orchestral smiled as he flew up with his wings, hit a light switch and revealed thousands upon thousands more metallic Spirits of Harmony, each with red bars for eyes and armed to the teeth with weapons and guns.

"Master Fortissimo!" A human came in, clearly brainwashed by The Blasters' mesmerizing tunes. "Production on the extra robots you requested has improved over the past week."

"Well, well, well. If it isn't our top scientist, Suri." He said, tussling the scientist's hair. "Tell me, how many more 'toys' do we have to play with?"

"Around 300 more R-D units, 250 more F-S mechs, 104 new A-J robots, 200 extra R-R-T wardroids and P-P bots. Lastly, you boys now have an additional 750 T-S machines at your disposal." Suri said, pointing them out on a clipboard The Blasters were all now looking at.

"Excellent work, Suri." Allegro smiled, handing her a cheque of $100,000. "You've earned this, for a job well done."

"Thank you, Blasters." She said, walking off out of the room so that The Blasters had some alone time.

"Heh, such weak-minded fools." Fortissimo said once Suri had disappeared. "Sing a song and watch these idiocy-craving lunatics swarm at your feet."

"Then again, I expected no less from the three of us." Allegro said, sharing a little snigger of evil with Orchestral.

"Why have an army of weak and feeble humans to do our bidding, when it can be an army of almighty machines, based off of weak and feeble humans?" Fortissimo said, as a loud chorus of mechanical whirring noises fired up as a robot assembly line activated at the end of the room.

"You know, I still don't get why the hell we need all these robots." Orchestral said, furrowing his swirl of blue and silver hair. "We can just take the Spirits of Harmony down ourselves now, can't we?"

"Think of this as a contingency plan, Orchestral." Fortissimo explained. "If our plan goes sour, these robots will be ordered to completely destroy, obliterate and eliminate all traces of life from this planet."

"Also, why waste our power on such harmless teenage girls anyway?" Allegro asked him, smiling wickedly. "I wouldn't even dream on fighting an opponent THAT weak, now would I?"

"Yes, let the toys play with the girls, while we have some alone time with Adagio, Aria and Sonata." Fortissimo said, walking towards the door to the rest of the building he, Allegro and Orchestral were in. "I'm sure they'll have a lot in common..."
