Chapter 183: Answer
By Wanderer D
Sunset's mind went to the old Equestrian legends her mother had spoken to her about. Of beings both benevolent and despicable that had haunted her homeland centuries before. She knew the legends, and it made sense. It made perfect sense.
She laughed. "Of course, Lord Tirek, the magic thief."
The Warlock's smile had faded and he glared at her, a low, threatening growl escaping his lips as he gathered power around him. Power… and fear. "Do you find something amusing?"
She shook her head, laughter fading as she smirked confidently. A part of herself, however, wasn't so sure, and insisted somewhat silently that what she was doing was a bad idea. Tirek was one of the Chosen, after all, and neither Aria nor Sonata had been easy opponents. Fugue pushed those thoughts away, storing them in her gem along with her doubts and all the other pesky idiocies that had delayed her studies.
At the moment, the Warlock seemed to believe she was on his side, or at least not an enemy, even if he was acting offended. The thought of wasting this opportunity for something as feeble a reason as personal safety was ridiculous, especially considering how much she had grown in power herself. And speaking of power… her eyes strayed to the gem around his neck.
"I know what happened to Aria and Sonata, but where is Adagio? I see you have her gem, but no siren would give that up while they were alive."
This wasn't something she knew as a certainty, but she knew she'd rather die than give away her own. The moment a magical gem like such were created, the intrinsic magic between the creator and the crystallization of forbidden magic ran deep. Very deep.
Deep enough to bring the inner demons out.
The Warlock smirked. "She said that too, and yet she lives."
Sunset tilted her head. "Interesting." Her knowledge of the sirens themselves was very limited—after all, the only exposure she had to them was the much more innocent version in that other universe—but looking at the gem… "I see."
"No wonder Gheist and the Templars couldn't decide if the Warlock was male or female… when Tirek stole the stone and wore it, it still carries the living energy of Adagio, wherever or whatever she is now, and it would give the Warlock an even stronger advantage than just the power of the Elders alone.
"Templars not close enough, probably felt Adagio's essence, and assumed that he was a she, and made some sense with both the Hunter and the Assassin being females.
"And while I'm honored that you would have heard of me," Tirek continued, oblivious to her thoughts, "I do wonder why I haven't heard about you."
Sunset frowned, flashes of the memories she had seen from Aria flooding her memory for a second. "Not all of us joined EXALT, nor were we interested in trading ourselves to gain power."
Tirek chuckled. "That fool Sombra did have his head in the clouds, and he put too much stock on his little group of miscreants." He shook his head, smirking. "It's good to see that there are more of your kind around. Aria assured me it was just them three, a plot to protect your species?"
There were warning bells in Sunset's mind. The way he had said that… "I advise against thoughts of stealing my power, Tirek. The results would not be… pretty."
The smile was gone. "Is that a threat, siren?"
Sunset shrugged. "Statement of fact." She would have spoken more but her senses warned her of a presence outside the door.
The Warlock turned towards it. "I expected to be left alone," he muttered, waving his hand. A tendril of psychic power flowed through the door, and they both heard a gasp outside as the doors opened with the hapless form of Susan Cerendis floated into the room, struggling in the grasp of the Warlock's power.
The doors closed behind the panicked reporter as she was held aloft, incapable of moving.
"You would dare spy on us, human?" the Warlock hissed.
"I-I didn't! I'm a loyal servant of the Elders! I would never spy on you!"
"Then why are you here?" Susan cast her eyes to Sunset, begging.
The Warlock snorted. "A weakling would fall for a siren's spell. Let me teach you the power of the Elders, so that you remember your place in the future."
He made to close his fist, but before anything could happen, Sunset sent a burst of magic with a casual flick of her wrist and Susan fell to the floor, free from his grasp. "Now, now," Sunset grinned. "I did ask her to meet with me somewhere private…" she glanced at the reporter with hungry eyes. "She's pretty enough to eat."
The Warlock turned to face her, no mirth in his face.
Sunset crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow, smiling at him, then with a small nod, she walked around to Susan, standing behind her and pushing the reporter's chin up and licking her lips as her index finger traced the whimpering woman's throat.
Her magic ran through her victim's body, making her moan as Sunset's other hand strayed down to rest on her flat stomach. Like herself, Susan's dress revealed a lot of skin… and provided access to it too. "Hmm… you feel delicious."
Two years ago, she would have never dreamed of splurging magic as she had just now. Her reserves were too low, too flimsy.
A feat like dispersing the Warlock's control of psychic powers wasn't as impressive as it might have appeared from the known effects of magic on psionics, but a controlled burst? It would have taken her days to recuperate, never mind affecting the guards so precisely or Susan's body, which she was playing like a violin.
Blood magic was truly a wonderful thing. The blood spoke to her, all the blood. From the smallest creature to the Warlock across from her. It all whispered the same request. To be liberated, to join with Sunset and flood her senses with delicious life-bearing power; to be used by her as she wished and she would relish the caress of its promises and energy, of its warmth and all-enveloping desire.
In that instant, Sunset understood what was stopping her own gem from forming completely. It was so obvious now. She could do it… she could complete the rites, become a true Blood Witch, and she would show them all.
Her eyes sparkled with amusement and wickedness as she crossed eyes with the Warlock, who was now obviously posing himself to attack.
"Tell me, Tirek… do you know what a Heartsong is?"
The Warlock did not take his eyes off of her as she felt a shiver run through her own blood, her magic and skin. She felt the blood around her invade her senses, every heartbeat, every pulse of magic.
She smiled, starting with a whisper, her blood magic flooding her very essence. Within her grasp, Susan's eyes went wide and her head leaned back, mouth open and eyes rolling back as her whole body convulsed in orgasmic bliss.
The Warlock took a step back as Sunset's voice rose and the gem in her chest flashed with power and purpose, pulsating in tandem with her song.

Tactical bloody Sunset incoming!
All of my yes, all of my want! I love this style of Sunset! So very very much.
Whelp. Looks like Sunset is going to be having a bad end. =(
and sunny's fall has happened...
"he glared at her a low, threatening"
"he glared at her, a low, threatening"?
"head, laugher fading as she smirked"
"head, laughter fading as she smirked"?
"I advice against thoughts"
"I advise against thoughts"?
On one hand, I feel bad for her fall. On the other, it was rather inevitable. Let's just hope she keeps enough sense to warn equestria that a good elemental purification will be needed in the future.
And that Luna doesn't decide that not letting a Blood Witch alive on Earth is more dangerous than letting the Elders win
We need that Orbital Friendship Laser and we need it yesterday!
What if.... What if the heartsong thing is what's needed to bind the two halves of Sunsets mind together? Sort of like a more vicious version of the sweet old Sunset that came before?
welp looks like this party is going south. I expect every one in the house to have their blood to be pulled from their body at once.
I wonder if these two are going to be needed next time sunset visits the land over yonder?
Whupsie?
or perhaps
If she finds all three?
Oh, dear, this is going to very bad places. Heartsong has nothing to do with positive energy, just emotional energy. And sunset's got plenty of emotional energy right now.
this is gonna be good
...Oh dear...
Stay good, Sunset!
Or failing that, at least stay alive.
Yeah, she's taken a running leap off the slippery slope. Between shoving her restraint into her gem and starting a perverted heartsong (primarily in the sense that its purpose is corrupted)...
How in the hay is this going to be salvaged? I don't think Twi is going to be tapped for siren hunting duty, because that doesn't seem to mesh with this fic.
When I said lets plus ultra and see what happens, I honestly wasn't expecting you to actually do it...off the deep end it is then.

Insert villain song?
Of course my mind jumps straight to,
I admit that in the past I've been a nasty.
They weren't kidding when they called me, well, a witch.
But you'll find that nowadays, I've mended all my ways.
Repented, seen the light, and made a switch. True, yes!
And I fortunately know a little magic.
It's a talent that I always have possessed.
And dear Warlock, please don't laugh. I use it on behalf,
of the miserable, lowly, and oppressed. (Pathetic)
Ther is only one thing to say:
9258939
I just hope the blood rage can Id friend from foe like in Hellsing ultimate.
On boy, here we go!
9258986
OH god you just gave me an idea. This is Hellsing abridged. Sunset is Alucard and Jane is police girl.
So, I'm assuming that the corruption shit is gonna hit the fan very soon.
Looks like Sonata's statement of Sunset being able to fit in Advent is quite a fact, now a Bloody Siren is going at the speed of death.
Oh dear. This is going to end very messily indeed. I'm not sure how Sunset's ever going to snap out of her Fugue state.
Damn it, she's snapped! Though now I wonder what happened to Adagio.
Oh The F@ck Yes!!!
Oh, she's not going EVIL.
She's just leveling up in the middle of a mission.
9259503
Level Up!!!!! Also did everyone else start playing Iron mask https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfonTav3dfA
Oh no, OH NO! This is bad. Sunset has fallen and things will turn into bloody Hellsing level of massacre.
This is deliciously ominous and very worrying, even for all its unsettling sensuality.
The most ominous part, to me, came right at the start, though:
If Sunset is pushing all her doubts and inhibitions away into her gem, I don't know what's going to bring her back. I don't think she'd kill Jane, or Twilight, or Celestia, but they're not there. Perhaps she has enough pseudo-familial affection for Bradford to baulk at "liberating" his blood?
9259129
The Commander does make a fine Integra.
Heheheheh, I love this!
I do wonder how far she will fall before someone catches her. I doubt you'd kill her off, so it is almost certain she'll be 'fixed.' Though, part of me hopes we'll get to enjoy some evil Sunset before that happens.
Only noticed this one on my second read through:
Much like her own, Susan's
Nom nom. Yum. Tasty Bitch.
Orgasming enemy to distract them for a headshot? Dirty... Perfect~♤
Blood is so good *slurp* *slurp* yum yum
Hellsing Alucard would most likely be proud of the river of blood to come.
How mutch is left of a individual after the Gem is constructed? What is it made of? Magic and soul?
I wonder what the destruction of a Gem would result in return to sanity? Death? A crippled life?
Many unanswered questions...
Time for Sunset to go on a walk...
