Twilight led the Sirens through the city near the downtown area. It got to a point where even they could feel the hefty weight of magic bog down the atmosphere around them.
โEughโฆโ Aria shuddered as they crossed the street into the metropolitan area of the city, โI can feel things becoming more and more...off-putting if that makes sense. What about you guys?โ
Twilight shook her head while focusing hard upon her tablet screen. โI canโt feel a thing. But the fact that you guys can shows me that this must be an Equestrian threat.โ
โI donโt get it,โ Sonata blurted out, โWhy not have Sunset Shimmer figure this out? Isnโt she more experienced with this world and its weirdo shenanigans?โ she asked while wiggling her fingers in a spooky manner.
Of course Twilight knew that her close friend would have all the answers to a problem like this. Unfortunately, there were only so many of them to tackle an issue head on. โYes...but she and the others are off dealing with some of the runes that are located near the edge of town,โ she explained while adjusting her glasses, โFrom what I can gather, it seems as if these ones arenโt going to be as deadly or threatening, so we should be able to handle these just fine.โ
โFair enough,โ Adagio replied, โSo long as we finally get some action, I could care less what it is. Iโm curious as to what sort of magical abilities we still may haveโฆโ
โThatโs what Iโm looking to find out also,โ Twilight added, โIf itโs possible that you all, as Equestrians, still have some magic within you even after becoming powerless, then you can use that magic for the benefit of others. Isnโt that exciting?โ she glanced at Aria with a wide grin on her face.
Aria simply rolled her eyes. โMeh. Doesnโt matter to me. Iโm just looking to wreck some shit in the face. Thoughโฆโ she looked at her older sister. โA-dawg, isnโt your boss gonna be miffed that youโre not at work on time?โ
โHmph,โ Adagio scoffed and waved her hand dismissively, โI can always negotiate with him if necessary. But allowing rogue magic to bring harm to innocent people would be...problematic. Itโs not something I want on my conscience.โ
โAwwww,โ Sonata teased while clutching her hands together in a lovey-dovey fashion, โAdagio cares about the mortal scum!โ
โOf course I do,โ she muttered with a pouting sort of face, โThey make great music...and fast food--anyway, Twilight. Does your little...glass magical detector sense anything yet?โ
Twilight watched as the runes on the device started to glow brighter and brighter. Their position on the map was marked with blue arrows pointed in the direction of the runes. โOne-hundred meters!โ she said while pointing towards an upcoming intersection. โThis way!โ
Meanwhile, from a nearby alleyโฆ
A certain someone had their back to the wall, carefully observing the sirens as they approached the crossing. โThis is the exact opposite direction of where sheโs supposed to go!โ Wendy proceeded to dial her phone, and call for Blueblood.
โHello? Gwendolyn? Whatโs the situation?โ
โAdagio, sir,โ she spoke while keeping her eyes focused on the group from afar, โSheโs off doing something with her friends instead of coming in to work.โ
There was a brief, almost deafening pause over the phone as Blueblood processed what he was just told. โMm-hm. I see. Keep your eyes on her. Iโll deal with her the next time she shows her face in my store. Failing to follow orders is punishable and she knows this.โ
Wendy had a devilish grin on her face, โOh yes...I love dealing out punishments to those who donโt follow the rules, sir.โ
โAnd thatโs why youโre my favorite,โ he replied with a chuckle, โNow keep watching. Iโll speak with you later. Bye for now.โ
She hung her phone up, and continued to follow the girls with narrowed, suspicious eyes. โYouโll pay for your disobedienceโฆโ
With the girlsโฆ
The intersection was clear of any vehicular activity due to it mainly being utilized by people who were walking back and forth to get to other parts of the city. Almost like a scramble crossing of sorts--a road area dedicated for people to walk around.
This enabled Twilight and the Sirens to freely walk towards the middle of the street.
โHm...Iโm picking something up,โ said the purple scientist, โBut Iโm not sure what it is?โ
โArenโt we here?โ Aria droned, โShouldnโt the demon monster thingy be right in front of us?โ
Sonata stared at the device Twilight was holding. โAre you sure itโs working right? Maybe itโs busted?โ
โUch--excuse me?โ Twilight scoffed as she pushed her glasses up, โIโll have you know that my technology is state of the art, 100% personally developed, and 92% accurate.โ
Thatโs when Adagio felt the air change even more. Where she could almost feel a thick sensation of fog. But as it got closer, it felt more like the hot breath of an animal. โErm...Twilightโฆ? I think itโs here.โ
โ...It is? But we canโt see it--โ
SWISH!
With a flick of what sounded like a wet tongue, Aria was suddenly snatched up by something that coiled around her body.
โWhat the--?!โ
The creature revealed itself. A blue and green chameleon demon the size of a school bus! And it was actively trying to consume the struggling Aria. โNeed some help here!โ
โThatโs why we couldnโt see it!โ Twilight shouted, โIt was making use of its crypsis coloration in order to fade into the colors of reality!โ
โScience lesson later!โ Adagio yelled as she ran towards the creature, โLet her go, you cretin!โ She leapt off the ground and got ready to throw a punch, but suddenlyโฆ
SHING!
Her entire forearm was coated in what appeared to be a blade made out of water. With a single slash, it was enough to cut through the chameleonโs skin and damage it.
โEEEE!โ
With a shrill cry, it was forced to drop Aria who landed bottom-first on the pavement. โOw! Frigginโ dick!โ
Nearby, a few people noticed what had happened. Some of them began to record the scene on their phones while others ran away as quickly as possible out of fear.
Twilight however, was carefully observing. โLetโs see what you three are capable of.โ
With the water blade gone, Adagio flexed her arm. โ...Huh. Water? Thatโs...not what I was expecting at all.โ
But in the mere second she took to think about what had just happened, the chameleon monster lunged its claws at the grounded Aria.
โAh!โ she gasped and held her hand out, โBack off!โ
FWOOSH!
Just as the chameleon tried to attack her, Aria repelled its force with a shield made of air, blowing it backwards and sending it careening against the road for a few feet until it came to a stop.
โWoah...I justโฆโ Aria muttered as she stood up, staring at her hand, and then up at the monster she had defended herself against, โI just blew it away with like a wind-dome...thing.โ
โImpressiveโฆโ Adagio said in response to her sisterโs efforts.
And then came Sonata who ran into the situation blindly. โOoh! My turn, my turn!โ
Just as the chameleon started to recover and stand upright, Sonata charged in...and tripped.
โAh--oof!โ As soon as she hit the ground, bolts of electricity flew out of her hands and shocked the chameleon, stunning it briefly.
Adagio ran up to her, offering a hand to help her off the ground. โAre you alright, sis?โ
โHuh? Oh, yeah, Iโm fine,โ Sonata replied as she took her sisterโs hand and stood up. โBut...did I just shock that thing?โ She stared down at her hands which crackled with small bolts of yellow lightning, โOoh yeah! I think I could get used to this!โ
โAhem,โ Aria cleared her throat as she stared at the chameleon demon, โWe can figure out what these powers are later. Right now, we need to destroy this thing.โ
โCut through its heart!โ Twilight shouted from nearby, while looking at her tablet, โThatโs where its magic is stored!โ
โWith a hide that thick, itโll take a while to cut through,โ Adagio muttered.
Sonata then came up with an idea. โ...What if we use our powers together all at once? Then we should take it down no problem!โ
โAh!โ Aria dodged another lash from its long, wet tongue. โSo long as I donโt have to get violated again, Iโm up. Letโs do it!โ
Interesting, super powered Dazzlings, I approve. If you haven't already read it, I did something similar in my series Sirens of the Night

Thanks! I'll be sure to check that out sometime.
In the meantime, I hope you enjoy seeing the sisters kick butt!
The story starts good, but elemental control/generation? Kinda boring. I also can't see a conection bitween the sirens and their powers. Their former magic was about sound, manipulation and agression. Nothing really translates to water, wind and lightning. And they also don't fit their personalities in my opinion.
Plus, first time and already trying to combine their power? Either you keep it real and they screw up big, because they know nothing about their powers, or they already have perfect control about them what means their is no need for personal growth in this story.

There's going to be an explanation for why they've acquired these abilities. I already have it thought out. As Sirens who cause storms and conflict, these powers represent the raging water of the sea, the violent winds that knock ships around, and the lightning that shocks anything caught out there. Major components of storms.
And don't worry. They aren't going to have full control over them right away and will need help mastering them. This is a low level demon, but they're going to face harder ones soon.
Stay tuned and find out more! ๐
Lightning air and water๐ค๐ they have the power of the sea I approve continue and the other chick and blue blood are really giving me 50 shades of Gray vibes

Yup! You got it. They have the power of the raging storms the mythological Sirens cause.
Also you're in for a treat. Keep your eyes on Blueblood. XD
