The clash from the six ponies and three Sirens had caused a massive explosion of pure energy to envelop the place, making the initial crater much larger than ever before. The sky had also changed as well, with the once yellow and cloudy sky transforming into a thunderstorm with red and blue clouds.
Twilight went hoof-to-toe with Fortissimo, using a wide variety of spells to try and blast him out of existence. She shot fireballs, snowballs, plasma balls, tornadoes and even a few earthquakes for good measure. To her surprise, Fortissimo managed to dodge or reflect every single one of Twilight's attacks.
"Really? That's all you've got?" Fortissimo taunted whilst he charged towards Twilight, seeing that she'd dropped her guard at that taunt. He brought his twin swords down on Twilight, trying to cut her in half. However, he quickly saw that Twilight's reflexes were much faster and she now had a thin forcefield coating her skin.
"Don't underestimate me, Fortissimo!" Twilight said, shooting a massive laser out of her horn, sending Fortissimo flying backwards for a brief moment. However, it seemed like not even that would do the trick once she saw Fortissimo's swords were in an 'X' position in front of his chest.
"I have no idea why my little sister could have lost to such a child like you, Twilight..." he said, constantly teleporting around Twilight in an attempt to confuse her and make her dizzy. Finally, he teleported right next to her ear and whispered "You're as weak as a little fly..." into her left ear.
Twilight jumped in surprise when Fortissimo teleported away from her again. She was surprised that Sirens had the capability to move that fast. However, she quickly regained her composure and created a sword of magenta energy from her horn.
Using this new sword, Twilight and Fortissimo went into a rather fast-paced swordfight. Every time their blades crossed, a clanging noise could be heard quite clearly. However, Twilight's sword was made purely out of her magic, so it seemed like she had the upper hand in the fight.
Fortissimo noticed that Twilight had finally adapted to using a sword to fight her battles, so he decided to fly upwards. He could see that Twilight was on his tail, so he teleported again right before she could reach him. He then reappeared right behind her and grabbed her tail.
"Why did you have to come here to fight us, Twilight?" he said, throwing her straight to the ground with such force that her velocity was quite intense. "You realize that you're fighting the brothers of three girls who almost killed your precious Magic of Friendship dead!"
Twilight was speechless and quickly shot another spell at Fortissimo. This time, he didn't realize that Twilight had fired it, so he took a tiny amount of pain as the explosion of the spell knocked him backwards.
"Well, what do you know... You ARE getting better at this," Fortissimo said as he appeared in front of Twilight and held up the palm of his hand in front of her face. He channelled Furen and Blissen energy through his arms and created a sphere of red and blue energy in the palm of his hand. He then turned it into a laser and shot Twilight over the hole and onto another area on the ridge. "But even you won't be able to stand up to us..."
Rainbow Dash, Rarity and Pinkie were dealing with Orchestral. They channelled their energies from Rainbow Power and shot forth rainbow-coloured lasers at him, trying to push his defensive stance back. They could see that his feet were being pushed back a little bit, so they knew they were getting somewhere with this.
"Guess you're not as tough as I thought you'd be, huh?" Rainbow Dash gloated as she thought that she and her friends had the upper hand over Orchestral. They looked shocked when they saw that Orchestral had merely been an illusion and quickly disintegrated.
"That's my line!" he said, as he reappeared behind the three ponies and picked them up in a red and blue aura by merely raising his hand. Once the ponies were squirming in his grasp, he violently smashed them into the ground repeatedly, before knocking their heads together like a set of clacking balls.
"Alright, I'm getting bored of this." he said, throwing Rarity, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie against the walls of the crater, getting them to groan in pain. "Now let's see what you're truly made of!"
"Uggh! How much punishment can this guy take?!" Rainbow Dash complained, looking at how Orchestral looked completely unscathed while they were starting to show some bruises on their skins and battered manes.
"A lot more than you can, that's for sure." Orchestral gloated, trying to provoke the Mane 6's fury.
"That's it! It's time to kick things up a notch!" Rainbow Dash flew up into the air, high above Orchestral and made her Cutie Mark in the middle of the sky. Once it was complete, the Cutie Mark fired a bolt of rainbow-coloured lightning right on top of Orchestral. "Yeah! How do you like that, Orchestral?!"
She got no verbal response, but instead got a massive kick to the back. She was unsure on how he was doing it, but Orchestral had teleported right behind her and kicked her right back down to the earth below. She screamed a little and was completely lost for breath once she'd crashed back into the ground.
"Please. I've seen that trick thousands of times. You can't possibly believe that a Siren can be defeated that easily, can you?" he gloated, batting away Rarity and Pinkie Pie with his swords when they charged towards him. "If anything, The Dazzlings didn't even care about unleashing their full strength back then. Such a shame, really... They could have had everything they could ever want and even more..."
Fluttershy and Applejack were tag-teaming Allegro, using their own streams of magic to fight back against him. It seemed like their efforts bore no fruit when they saw that Allegro could merely use both of his swords to bat away the energy shot forward from the two of them.
"Boy howdy! Ah got me a live one here!" Applejack stomped the ground, causing a massive projection of an apple tree to erupt from Allegro's feet, sending him flying. She cracked a little smile and flew back up to try and deal some extra damage, but looked shocked when Allegro cast a wicked smile on her.
"Gotcha now..." he smirked, clapping his hands. Once he'd done so, Applejack had completely frozen in place. This was Allegro's opening. He took his two swords and slashed at Applejack multiple times. His attacks were fast and erratic and it all ended with him saying "Going down!" as he kicked the still-motionless Applejack back to the crater below. Before she could land, he clapped his hands again and saw his attacks bear fruit.
Applejack could only feel a massive amount of pain as time caught up with her. To her, it only looked like Allegro had clapped. But she could also feel pain as she was now hurtling towards the ground below her. She'd been hit with a sword multiple times and had been kicked to the ground below. She landed with a crash and could only groan in the intense agony she'd received.
"Oh my, are you alright?" Fluttershy asked as she used her magic to cast a green spell on Applejack, healing all her cuts and bruises. Fluttershy's magic could do many things, but healing was the one she favoured most.
"Yeah, ah'm fine, Fluttershy," Applejack said, grateful that Fluttershy was helping to heal her battle damage. She could already feel better as the spell continued to fix all the damage that Allegro had done to her. "But ah gotta hand it ta Allegro here. He's a feisty as a rampagin' bull in a china shop."
"I'm not sure whether or not that was a compliment for me beating you senseless or an insult by comparing me to a brainless animal," Allegro pondered for a brief moment, not even paying attention to his victory. "Either way, I'm going to assume that it was the former. Which means you like me knocking you senseless?"
"Well, yeah. Ah feel like all our challenges are gettin' too easy nowadays," Applejack said, pleased that Allegro was able to provide her with such a challenge. "And how they all revolve around the Magic of Friendship and such. So, ah'm actually happy ta have an actual problem on mah hooves this time around. Ya play a good game, Allegro. And ah have ta respect that."
"Well, thank you, little pony. You know, most of our other opponents never complimented us during battle," Allegro said, taking in Applejack's comment with a smile on his face once more. "Oh but please, hold your applause until the end. Whereas our little sisters are a one-song band, we're known for many great concerts in our time. So there's still plenty of show to go with tons of surprises in store. So please, hold onto your hat and get ready to be amazed!"
"Ah'm lookin' forward to it." Applejack bore a confident smile as she put her front hooves forward, as if to charge at him.
"Now then..." Allegro glowed a bright red and blue aura as he readied a barrage of more attacks. He raised his two swords up into the sky and saw some of the lightning collide with them, giving them an electrical field as well as their initial auras. "On with the show!"
Twilight and Fortissimo were back in the air with their wings unfurled. The two of them were now locked in aerial combat, firing lasers and spells at one another. They tried to strike the other down with their onslaught of attacks, but only watched as their targets evaded each other quite nimbly.
Fortissimo tightened his grip on his two swords, making them glow even brighter. Once he was satisfied with his glowing weapons, he swung each of them repeatedly, firing magical streams at Twilight with every swing. There were red and blue streams coming from his swords and he smiled whilst he was pulling it off. Eventually, he knew that Twilight would succumb to his power.
Twilight was using a combination of her own Alicorn Magic and her Rainbow Power to fend the incoming streams of Siren Magic. She could see now that Fortissimo would not stop until she was under his spell and obedient to his every command. She knew that if she was going to go down, she'd go down fighting.
"Come on, Twilight. Are you really the same princess who defeated my little sister?" he gloated, knowing that Twilight was starting to exhaust herself with this fighting. He could see that her reactions were slowing down and that an opening was drawing ever nearer to him.
Twilight teleported away right before another stream could have hit her, making all the other streams completely miss their mark and hit the clouds above. Once she'd vanished from sight, she reappeared underneath Fortissimo and fired a rainbow laser of energy, causing Fortissimo to be knocked into the clouds above.
"Yes, I am." Twilight said with a smile as she saw Fortissimo getting launched skyward.
She then gave chase to Fortissimo, knowing that he'd been caught off guard and was now open for another string of attacks. Once she made it into the clouds, she frantically searched for Fortissimo, but found nothing but red and blue clouds firing red and blue lightning at one another.
"Well, you are putting up more of a fight than I anticipated..." he said, gasping for breath. That last attack had left him a little wounded. He then smiled as he remembered his pendant. "But we're not even at the grand finale yet, so you think you've won this?"
"What do you mean by that?" Twilight asked, curious to know what else Fortissimo could do at this given moment in time. She knew that even a powerful Siren like Fortissimo had his limits. Even for being Adagio's brother, she knew that even he had to stop somewhere on the power charts.
"Kirek delgran camderegan!" Fortissimo spoke in Lyrican, holding his two pendants up high. As he did this, a torrent of Furen and Blissen energy poured out from them, creating a Hippocampi and a Dragon to fight along side him. They were both made out of a black energy and looked ready to deal the finishing blow. However, unlike the last time Twilight fought Sirens, she could make out the Hippocampi had red eyes and the Dragon had blue eyes. Then she looked at Fortissimo and was surprised to see that he wasn't motionless, like Adagio had been. "Let's see if you really know how to fight, Princess Twilight!"
Fortissimo clicked his fingers, giving the beasts he'd summoned the opportunity to attack. They both flew forward together, ready for a fight. The Hippocampi and Dragon roared, creating torrents of red and blue magic. They combined their streams and launched it as a massive laser, which was now hurtling towards Twilight.
Twilight looked mortified at the sight. She never knew that Sirens were capable of this power, let alone The Blasters. As she used her Alicorn Magic to hold the laser off, she began to worry how powerful The Dazzlings would have gotten if they fought like this during their time in CHS. She broke out of her fantasies to realize that her forcefield was starting to break up.
Fortissimo knew that Twilight was struggling and saw another opening for him to utilize. He charged towards Twilight, flying next to the laser his monsters created and waited for Twilight to lose her defense. Her forcefield shattered like glass and Fortissimo struck. As Twilight was hurled backwards, Fortissimo kicked her in the back and sent her straight for the Hippocampi and Dragon.
Twilight could feel massive amounts of pain surging through her body as she was launched towards the black Hippocampi and black Dragon. She quickly saw what she was heading towards and lit up her horn moments away from the creatures.
She quickly covered herself with her aura and fazed right through the two monsters, leaving nothing but a vapour of purple smoke in their eyes as she rematerialized behind them. After this had been accomplished, she fired a colossal laser of rainbow-coloured energy, damaging the two monsters. She was shocked to see that they were still alive after that blast. She never knew that Siren Summons were that resilient in combat.
Fortissimo saw Twilight fending off his two monsters and could see the true extent of her magic. He watched with a devious smile as stringed together combos of spells whilst also teleporting to avoid harm. He could see that Twilight was going to become a wonderful addition to his many subjects.
"Now I'll say it to you, Fortissimo," Twilight smirked as she dealt the final blow to both his Hippocampi and his Dragon at the same time. One last spell went straight through the middle of their eyes and made them flinch in pain. They were shot backwards with that one last spell and shattered like glass before hitting the ground. Their remnants didn't even touch the world below, they just faded away into nothingness. "Is that all you've got?"
"Oh, I'm only just getting started..." he responded, flying out of the storm and back to the other Blasters.
"Hey! Get back here!" Twilight yelled, giving chase to the fleeing Fortissimo. She nimbly flew through clouds and barely evaded the streaks of lightning that peppered the skies. Once she knew that it would be impossible to track Fortissimo through the clouds, she dipped downwards and flew out of the storm.
Rarity, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie were finally giving Orchestral a hard time. They peppered him with continuous attacks that seemed to be part of one big combination attack. Pinkie's Party Cannon fired a pink laser, knocking Orchestral backwards so that Rainbow Dash could kick him whilst he flew.
Orchestral disappeared for a brief second and reappeared right above Rainbow Dash. He was about to hit his mark and deal her a fatal blow with his swords, but took a projection of a sharp gem right to the left side of his face, knocking his trajectory off and causing him to smash into the ground and roll for a brief moment.
"Who dares to strike me with a illusionary crystal?" he told himself, looking around to see that Rarity simply blew on her horn once she saw him getting up. He quickly got to his feet and saw that his armour was starting to show a few dents. To this, he looked shocked, surprised that three mere ponies were actually harming him.
"Looks like your orchestra is coming to its' last verse, Orchestral..." Rarity said, looking at the near-beaten Orchestral Chill with a smug look on her face. "If anything, I'd say your performance was very admirable. But it could have use a little extra work in some areas."
"This isn't over, Spirit of Generosity..." he said, panting for breath in between his words. This battle was finally starting to take its' toll on Orchestral. He never believed that ponies were capable of this much power. "I admire your ability to co-ordinate your attacks, but then again, it still can't compare to what we can do..."
"Oh yeah?" Rainbow Dash taunted, seeing that Orchestral was looking rather beaten. "Because I'm sure that what we can do is far better than what you can do!"
"A challenge is it? Then so be it..." he spread his wings once more and took to the skies. Once he did, he flew out of the hole and looked up at Fortissimo, descending towards him and Allegro with a rather insidious smile on his face. "Let's see if you've got what it takes to stop this performance!"
Orchestral flew off, leaving Rarity, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie in his wake. He glowed a rather sinister shade of blue as he drew closer and closer to Fortissimo, who glowed a shade of black.
"Applejack, I think you really need to consider how your health is," Fluttershy said, looking worried for Applejack as she healed her cuts and bruises once again. She could see that Allegro had also taken some damage from their little spree but still looked like he could still fight. "This Allegro guy seems unstoppable..."
"It ain't over til' the last apple falls from the tree, Fluttershy..." Applejack said, panting for breath after what had seemed like the fifteenth round with Allegro. Despite all the beatdowns the two of them had delivered, they were still ready to fight and prove who was the better fighter. "And besides, ah'm sure even Allegro's startin' ta get exhausted..."
"You've really got me on the ropes here, Applejack..." he responded, panting for his own breath. Even he was starting to run out of energy. He looked at Applejack with a smile and complimented her himself. "It's been a while since I last fought someone as talented as you, Applejack. And for that, I commend you and your friends..."
"Ya'll really mean that?" Applejack wanted to make sure that Allegro wasn't showing any of his tough love attitude on her again.
"I really DO. I've seen many a foe over the course of history, but you're pushing me farther than anything that I've ever crossed blades with..." he smiled, standing up straight. "Applejack. You are a worthy fighter and as such, you would have made an excellent friend. If only fate wasn't such a cruel mistress, then we could fight together..."
"Ah know. Yer quite powerful yerself, Allegro. Fer being Aria's older brother, ya can really hold yer own in an intense situation," Applejack said, looking more neutral herself. "And ah have ta agree with ya on that fact. If ya'll weren't bent on malicious intent, we would have made really good friends."
"Thank you, Applejack..." he said, before looking at Fortissimo and Orchestral re-unite for what seemed like their big finisher. "By the way, you might want to grab your real friends. The reason I say this is because Fortissimo and Orchestral are going to perform a Siren Fusion. So, consider this my grand finale to you and your friends..."
He flew off, leaving Applejack and Fluttershy to regroup with their friends as well. As he watched Applejack and Fluttershy regrouping with Rarity, Pinkie and Rainbow Dash, he cracked a smile and returned to Fortissimo and Orchestral for their final assault on the Mane 6.
"The time has come, brothers..." he said, watching as his pendants radiated black, dark purple and dark blue colours. He could see the pendants of Allegro and Orchestral were doing the same thing. "Time that we finish this little game once and for all..."
"This is gonna be awesome!" Orchestral smiled, putting his red and blue pendant together. He saw his other Blasters doing the same, readying their Siren Fusion.
"These ponies will regret the day they dared to strike down our sisters!" Allegro said as he combined his pendants. The confidence in his eyes made Fortissimo and Orchestral smile deviously as well.
"Let's do this!" Fortissimo said as he saw Twilight was flying down towards the three of them. He grabbed her with his own red and blue aura and hurled her back to her friends. Once he saw the crash that Twilight had made, he could see her other pony friends coming over to help her onto her hooves again.
"Princess Twilight!" his voice boomed down onto the six ponies he watched from his height. "You and your friends have put up a rather valiant fight and have dealt considerable damage to me and my companions. However, that insanity stops right now!"
"You still need to be punished for the defeat of The Dazzlings!" Allegro said, watching the six girls show faces of rage. He could see now that they were ready to face anything The Blasters could have possibly hurled at them. "Your defeat shall prove to both Equestria and the Human World that Sirens are the superior beings!"
"For failing to understand the Balance of Lyrica's importance and subjugating three Sirens trying to uphold that balance to save your worlds..." Orchestral said as he and his fellow Blasters shone blinding shades of black, dark purple and dark blue. "The sentence we pass down onto you is immediate destruction and the complete destruction of your free will!"
"Time to finish this little game once and for all!" Fortissimo smiled as the three Sirens held their pendants towards the sky, intensifying the storm and intensifying their black, dark purple and dark blue auras. "I hope you're ready for this, Princess Twilight!"
"Kirei Delgrumandra Jarenkir Marenjired KORZE!" The Blasters said in perfect unison, creating massive torrents of Siren Magic which flew out of their pendants and combined in the sky above. Their sinister smiles and normal eyes remained as they summoned the beast that they believed would lead to the Mane 6's ultimate destruction.
Twilight could barely make out what was happening when The Blasters released their storm of energy, she could only see pillars of black, dark purple and dark blue energy, complete with a red and blue outline. She saw the three pillars combine and make a blinding surge of red and blue light, but then she couldn't see anything after that.
When Twilight's eyes finally readjusted, she could see a rather horrific sight. A massive monster with two ferocious heads and a snake for a tail. This being had wings, red Furen Pendants encrusted into its' chest and now looked at the Mane 6 with the intent to kill. And as if to worry Twilight and her friends even more, all three of the heads showed giant red balls of energy where there eyes would be and made a deafening roar which struck mortal terror into the hearts of all of the Mane 6.
"Princess Twilight! Long has it been since I've been forced to bring in a Siren Fusion against my foes!" Fortissimo said, hovering above the 150-foot tall monster with Orchestral and Allegro. "Now the time has come for you and your friends to pay the piper. Or in this case, pay the Siren!"
Fortissimo clicked his fingers and the Manticore fired a torrent of Furen energy at the Mane 6. He watched as he saw what looked like the Chimera burning the Mane 6 alive. A massive explosion rose up from the area that he'd struck and thought that the Mane 6 were down for the count.
Suddenly, he and the other Blasters received a torrent of Rainbow Power energy from something behind them. They screamed with agony, but looked perfectly fine once he saw what had struck him.
The Mane 6 were all in a massive sphere of Rainbow Power energy, using it as a forcefield, in case The Blasters tried to retaliate. They all looked at Fortissimo and wondered whether or not to go for him, or his giant Chimera.
"Sic' em, boy!" Fortissimo said in a rather calm attitude as he clicked his fingers again, causing the Chimera to turn around instantaneously. Despite its' colossal size, it still moved at a rather rapid pace. Now it was staring down the Mane 6 with the intent to kill.
It shot another deluge of the Furen energy, but it was quickly dispelled when Twilight and her friends used their Rainbow Power to outmatch it.
"I don't think so, Fortissimo!" Twilight said, letting out a rather confident smile as the six of them prepared for combat against the colossal beast they were staring down. "I think it's time for your 'boy' to play dead!"
