too assured that a fucking pull door could keep their plans secured.

To be fair, the door would have worked if they had known about Spike.

Decent start, and I'm interested to see where it goes, although you might want to go back and check for typos. I'd be glad to point out a few if you'd like.

And I'm curious what it is about Aria playing the guitar and smoking, because it's an astonishingly prevalent depiction.

I like where this is going, :rainbowdetermined2:

It's also nice to see someone else who gives the Sirens enough credit to sock away plenty of money to live on without living too 'loud' and attracting attention... with the limited level of magic they had for all the time they were stuck in the EQG world, the last thing they'd want to do would be attract attention by driving Maseratis and living in a mansion that would make Kanye jealous.

Guitars are cool. Aria is cool (in a break-your-face kind of way). No further explanation needed, :coolphoto:

Seriously though, I think her canon grumpy attitude and the common fanon that she's a bit of an introverted loner leads people to see her as the most likely Siren to engage in self-destructive behavior, be it smoking or drinking. I like to think of her as a bit of a gearhead, as well as the most physically capable of the three.

i wuld have liked the movie better if gloriosa would have been a sprit all along instead of being an overly emotinal facebook girl

Guitars are cool. Aria is cool (in a break-your-face kind of way).

I don't know why you even bothered going further than that.

But I guess the rest of that makes sense too. I've always thought of Adagio as being too proud/vain to subject herself to stuff like that, though I could kind of see Sonata having poor enough impulse control to pick up a bad habit or two.

Admittedly, it's a little hard for me to not think of Aria as a cigarette-smoking guitar badass. I blame Theigi for being a genius.

They were just too over-confident, too assured that a fucking pull door could keep their plans secured.

I've thought about this, and as Naiad said, while it would have worked anyway if not for the insanely lucky timing of Spike and Convenience Personified, I don't think anything they could have done would have made a difference narrative-wise. Even if they'd welded the damn thing shut, Vinyl would have torn the door right out of the wall with her car, or blasted a hole in the walls with sonic Bass Cannons, or anything else to instantly solve the problem just when it needed to be.

Hindsight is 20-20, but I figure if the Rainbooms were busted out with a Deus Ex Machina anyway, they'd just go whole hog with it had the sirens trapped them at the bottom of a pit under two hundred tons of concrete, whether they could still get the Rainbooms' magic after that or not. Even then, there'd still be some kind of 'We should have just done X' to it after the fact. :applejackunsure:

Anyway, I like this depiction so far! As Pirate said, they're playing things pretty smart, Aria's leadership is a little cold, but not detached or abusive, and their individual reactions to the situation feel right. I like Aria relying on what I interpret to be irritation and a hint of bravado to get through and keep the borderline infantile Sonata and apparently hollow Adagio on their feet, lest they succumb to despair and just never get up again.

Looking forward to seeing where this goes! :pinkiesmile:

Interesting. I haven't seen the new movie yet, but I HAVE seen some "interesting" spoilers. Nonetheless, this seems like a good read. I'll follow it for now.

Well, after Cut it Out, I tried to go with a more mature approach than just making her a punk tsundere.
Cheers for the feedback, guys. Always 'ppreciated.

It is implied that Adagio has a greater affinity for detecting magic.

I was going to say that it's a good thing she still had her knack for feeling disturbances in the force! :pinkiehappy:

I'm not sure the geodes would work like this, but if they did it for the Rainbooms, who were 'always meant to have' these magical rocks that just so happened to be in the middle of nowhere, waiting for the day they showed up, maybe something there's similar at play for these three. Or maybe it's less about magical 'destiny' or whatever, more that the things would merge with anyone, reforming accordingly when in contact with a pre-existing magic of any kind. The rocks could just as well grow back before Gloriosa finds/starts using them, if an entire crystal palace can pop up in about twelve seconds.

It was nice seeing the trio get their groove back, and even the magical girl moment was kept tastefully short. Nicely done! :twilightsmile:

She lifted her hand, a cigarette magically conjuring between her fingers. A small purple flame sprouted from her thumb. Bringing it up to the bud, she lit it and took a long drag.

I don't know why, but this sentence and the accompanying image amused me to no end.

And I do like the idea of Adagio being better at sensing magic than the other two. I've always liked to think that they have subtly different capabilities, so that was a nice little detail. Aria not being a tsundere was nice too. What I also really liked, though, was that Adagio, even in her near-catatonic state, was thoughtful enough to only take two geodes and leave the rest for her sisters. It's a small thing, but that really stood out to me.

Just like Eyeswirl, I question whether the geodes would work that way, mostly since Gloriosa needed all seven to really do much. But if the Dazzlings still have a little residual magic in them, that probably explains it.

And darn it, I want to see more of this. If this were like, a prologue to a fifth movie or something, I would be banging my head against a wall waiting for it to come out.

This is so AWESOME!!! The Dazzlings are back in action baby! I wonder what shall happen now that they have the geode necklaces??? Especially when they once more confront the Humane 6?

All I know is this: magic will be tossed around like silly!!! Ha ha ha!

P.S. You think there are more geodes like the Sirens'? Because if you remember, Gloriosa needs them to cause chaos; similar how the Humane 6 need it for harmony. Just what do you have planned???

A few hours later...

"... and then I said 'answer that without sounding like a total jerk!'" Rainbow Dash exclaimed, prompting her friends to burst into fits of laughter.

"Oh goodness!" Rarity laughed behind her hand. "I can't believe you actually let things go that far, Rainbow!"

"Are you kiddin'?" Applejack chimed in. "If'n it'd been me I'd've let him keep goin' until he figured it out on his own. Can ya imagine his face?"

The Rainbooms, along with CHS' newest transfer student, Twilight Sparkle, were enjoying another evening of relaxation and tasty treats at Sugercube Corner. As their laughter started to die down, the smile faded from Sunset Shimmer's face. Something tickled at the back of her mind; a tingling itch that she couldn't quite place.

"Sunset?" Fluttershy's sweet voice floated across the table. "Is something wrong?"

"I'm not sure," she answered slowly, her head swiveling to glance around the bakery as a soft, distant sound found its way to her ears. "Do any of you hear that?"

"Hear what, darling?"

Sunset’s eyes widened in realization. She opened her mouth to reply as the front doors literally exploded inwards, showering them with shards of glass. She instinctively lifted her arms up to shield her face, but the force of the explosion still sent her tumbling from her seat. She landed hard on her back, breath knocked from her lungs. Fluttershy and Rarity screamed, though she barely heard them over the ringing in her ears.

She shook her head and slowly rose to her knees, trying to clear the sudden haze that had overcome her senses, and saw that her friends seemed none the worse for wear, albeit quite shaken. Applejack was asking a wide-eyed Rarity if she was okay while Rainbow did the same of a trembling Fluttershy and frowning Pinkie Pie. Sunset realized that Twilight, like her, had been pushed right out of her chair. She offered her hand to the dazed girl, pulling her up to a sitting position.

“Are you okay?” She received only a blank stare in response. “Twilight? Twilight!”

“Uh… y-yeah,” Twilight finally stammered, brushing a strand of hair that had fallen loose from her face. “M-my glasses…”

Sunset looked down, spotting the black frames among the fragments of glass easily.

“Here,” she slipped the glasses onto Twilight’s face, noting with some concern that a deep crack now ran through one of the lenses.

“What the heck was that?!” Rainbow voiced the question they were all wondering.

“Not what,” Sunset said ominously as she stood, turning to face the shattered front entrance of Sugarcube Corner with a grim scowl etched on her features. “Who.

The Rainbooms let out a collective gasp as the Dazzlings, wreathed in the telltale glow of Equestrian magic, floated into sight. The trio glared down upon them, predators stalking their prey with blood-red eyes. The one in the center, with the voluminous orange hair, grew a wicked smile.

“Round two, bitches!”

:trollestia:

7599327 Can you PLEEEEEAAAAASE write the next chapter of this story??? I SOOO wanna see where that goes!

Will you be making a sequel?

Someone who can art, please art their new look!

Wouldn't it be crazy if the fifth movie did the same thing as the ending of Teen Titans?
Where every villain comes back for one final round

7603821 I have no idea what that first sentence means, but the second one sounds amazing. Astronomically unlikely since Sunset was technically a villain that one time, but still a cool idea, provided the Dazzlings get to be all sexy and fantastic again.

7599327
Why would they risk again their newly found power? That would be stupid.

Doesn't actually feel finished, but this isn't bad for what it is.

7599327 Huh. If I'd read this story and comment five weeks ago, I wouldn't have needed to write my own along those lines. There's a night of my life I'd like back?

The only downside is this is all there is to the story. We wish for more! :pinkiecrazy:

How dare they think her and her sisters evil? Aria angrily slammed her forehead against the steering wheel. If there was one thing she had learned about humans over the years, it's that THEY'RE evil. The horrors they commit to eachother and their planet and for what? As far as she was concerned, the three of them taking over would have been best for them.

I mean, she’s not 100% wrong.

So anyone can get magic from the geodes?
