//------------------------------// // Chapter 10: It all ends here // Story: The story of Anvil // by proudtobeabrony667 //------------------------------// Chapter 10 It all ends here Over the weekend the dazzlings kept probing us for answers about the live Anvil led before he came to Canterlot, however knowing that he had lived here his entire life we had nothing to tell them and we worked our way around the questions by asking some of our own. I myself was the one they asked the most, probably because they heard the things about my past. I was asked all sorts of questions about Anvil and I was just about to crack when he walked in and asked them to leave as it was sunday and thay had yet to leave, he was holding their amulets and was about to give them back when Adagio spoke. "You know Anvil there's a lot of negative energy in this place. did something happen here?" She said with a coy grin on her face "No nothing happened here now grab your things and get out... Don't you have to practice for your act tomorrow?" "Yeah we do, thanks for the reminder." And then they left leaving no trace that they were ever there and Anvil was glad to see them go. The next day was the performance and everything had been going as well as it should be except for the fact that the sirens were using their magic to cheat their way through to the finals. The Rainboom's turn was next and their opponent was trixies band and had they not been fighting just moments before they would have played just right and they would not have nearly shown their powers to the sirens. I had no choice but to tackle Rainbow Dash to the ground before the sirens saw their magic, but it might not have been the right move to make as afterwards they were mad at me for doing so. Expecting to have lost because of what I had done, and Trixies boasting the girls had given up but it seemed that the sirens knew what they were and they changed the judges minds using their magic. And so it came to pass that the Rainbooms were to play in the final round that night, but plans changed as trixie having a very competitive personality and believing that she should have our place made us disappear for the time being. Had spike not dodged the trap door into the basement of the stage he wouldn't have been able to get Anvil and Vinyl and the Sirens would have won, but fate had different plans. "*Crash* Are you guys okay!?!" Asked Anvil through his gritted teeth as he pulled a chunk of wood from his arm "Were fine but we got to get out of here they're starting!!" "Then go! Vinyl help them I'll catch up." She nodded and followed us but split up as we passed the parking lot we got to the top of the hill across from the stage and wondered how we were going to play over them without amps. Vinyl pulled up in her car a few moments later and pushed a button on her keys turning her car into a DJ set allowing for optimal performance, we hooked up our instruments and began to play Fluttershy's song temporarily stopping the trance on the students but they had already awoken their magic and started to use it on us, however we were immune to their trance and eventually we started to lose and twilight lost control of the microphone and ended up throwing it. It landed beside me and it became apparent that I had a chance for redemption and I picked it up and started to sing, I was joined by twilight and the rest of the girls and we used our combined magic to break the Sirens spell permanently. But that wasn't the end as they ran away they bumped into Anvil they stood there and stared at each other and still having their magic left they warmed up their voices and started to vocalize their hate towards him Vinyl got their and grabbed Anvil tackling him to the ground as their destructive voices blasted over them. "Listen Anvil if we can't have these peoples adoration no one can they must die" Adagio said not knowing that her headset was still on "Not going to happen Siren" "Watch us." Anvil had enough and grabbed adagio and threw her into the hill beside the stage while the other two gave chase to Vinyl. Anvil knew that Vinyl was safe from their magic as long as she kept her head phones on she couldn't be put under the spell seeing as she wasn't in the first place so there wasn't anything to break when it came to her. Anvil jumped over to Adagio and stood over her as she struggled to get away. "Were do you think you're going I'm over here Adagio" he said slowly transforming his body into his true form "I'm not going anywhere I'm just stalling you." she said smiling "Vinyl!!" he said turning back towards the stage He began to run but was stopped as he was struck in the back by Adagio's hate song, but that wasn't enough to keep him down but it was enough to start a chain reaction in his body that was eventually going to kill him if he didn't get the song out of his head. He kicked her and put in his ear buds and turned his music to full volume so as to block the sing from corrupting his mind. he got up and continued back to the stage only to find that Vinyl had been kicked into a bunch of stage props and was unable to move the two girls joined by Adagio started to sing their hate song and this time it landed a direct hit on Anvil as it began to tear away all of the clothing he had on his upper torso leaving only shreds of broken bandages. He stood there as the smoke cleared leaving only a bloodied and beaten person standing between the girls and Vinyl. He collapsed to his knees and waited for them to finish him off but no attack came as a blast of music from the DJ set sent them flying towards the edge of the stage. "What was that?" asked Aria "I don't know but my ears are still ringing" said Sonata "Stop caring about that and look it's Vinyl" Exclaimed Adagio "Leave him alone" Vinyl yelled as she took off her head phones and put them down so she could play her music. "Kill her" Screamed Adagio as she prepared another blast for Anvil Anvil got up and moved in front of Vinyl as Aria and Sonata plunged their hands into the sides of his chest and into his lungs. He coughed up blood and grabbed their pendants and ripped them from their chests removing their power with them. Adagio noticing that her friends were in trouble rushed after Anvil as he seemed to grow wings from his shadow and took off into the sky. Both were fast But he was weakened giving her the advantage, he turned and was met with her hand stabbing straight through his heart they descended towards the ground Anvil still fighting to get her hand out of his chest they hit the ground with a loud thud and we could see blood pouring out of Anvil's mouth and we were stuck as we had no idea what to do. Just when we thought all was lost Anvil grabbed her amulet and put it with the others in his hand. Vinyl ran over to him as he lie on the ground bleeding and tried to stop the bleeding but it wasn't enough. I myself had already called the ambulance and they were on their way, Anvil seemed to know what was coming so he put all the amulets in one hand and crushed them to dust but as he did so a light enveloped his hand and started to electrocute him Vinyl Grabbed the amulets and was electrocuted herself but she didn't let go she threw the amulets against the wall and smashed them for good,then collapsed. The ambulance picked them up and took them to the ER and we ran there as fast as we could. When we got there I immediately ran to find the doctor I found him coming out of Anvil and Vinyl's room. "Doctor!! please tell me their going to be alright." "I'm sorry but the damage was to severe for both of them It's a miracle they've survived this long I give them the hour before they pass" "Your lying!! Please tell me you are" I said as the girls came around the corner "I'm afraid not. The damage is far to severe for them to survive past the night." "But there has to be a way... There just has to be." Asked Rarity as she and the girls joined me "I'm sorry but there isn't anything more we can do.... I suggest you say your goodbyes while you still can." The doctor walked away and left us to go into the room when we walked in we saw all sorts of machines attached to both Anvil and Vinyl; Machines that were keeping them alive for the most part. "A-Anvil....Vinyl?" Asked Rainbow Dash "[Cough] Hey guys what's up.......Oh I see... We don't have much time do we?" "Anvil I'm so sorry if I had just done what i was supposed to.... If I hadn't hesitated you'd still-" "Stop right now!" "Anvil Don't stress yourself it'll only make thing's worse" Exclaimed Fluttershy "Ugh... Sunset....Listen to me..... It wasn't your fault...... Now all of you listen... We have something that you need to hear." "What is it" Asked Twilight as he grabbed Vinyl's hand "Rainbow Dash you keep to yourself too much you need to open up and let the world know just what your capable of....Everyone sees you as competitive and cocky but I know that isn't who you are...... Fluttershy I know that you are good with animals so we think that you should put those skills to another use as well...... We think that you should use them to conquer your shyness towards other people..... AJ you are a strong and beautiful girl and we know that you won't let anyone down so do me a favor and never let that farm of yours die." "Now don't cha' worry bout that I'll keep that farm runnin till I kick the bucket." "Rarity you are a talented seamstress and...... [cough] and I just know that you could make your own fashion line if you put your mind to it.....Twilight you are a princess and a damn fine one if you ask me i know that you will keep your world from falling into negativity........ And Pinkie Pie poof up your hair you don't look right when your not happy......[cough, cough] .....Listen to me pinkie pie I don't want any of you to mourn for me in fact I want you to celebrate my death, right now we're in so much pain... Be glad that it's over and be glad that we will no longer be suffering...... Spike you little rascal i want you to take care of twilight for me always be there for her and without a doubt do it with all the bravery you can muster up......" "Girls I want you to all promise me something?" asked Vinyl "What is it?" asked AJ "I want you to promise me that you will never forget us and that under no circumstances will you ever fight among yourselves." "Don't worry dear. That won't happen." replied Rarity "Now all of you......[Cough,wheeze] ......and that includes you Sunset...... take our hands" Said Anvil as we all took their hands. "I want you to never forget these words that are coming out of my mouth... But if you don't mind do forget the blood, not pleasant....... Never let the ones you care about slip away from you. They're all you have." Suddenly the door opened and in came the mayor and principal Celestia saying they wanted to erect a statue in front of the school for the two of them. "Hey Vinyl" "Yeah?" "I have an idea." "What is it?" "Lets get buried together underneath the statue. That way we can stay close to our friends." "That sounds nice....." "Thank you guys.......for everything..... but it seems it's time.......for us to go........." As the sound of their heart monitor made a slow steady noise they had passed but it felt as if they hadn't really left as if they left a piece of their soul in each of us now all that's left is the funeral preparations.
