> A Dark Heart > by SonataDusk19 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Sonata's Odd Behavior > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Months after the Dazzlings have been defeated the former sirens sit at their table. Aria is reading a batman comic, Adagio is playing with her hair, and Sonata is staring at the taco's before her. She stares at them, her interest with the Mexican dish before has dissipated. Adagio looks at Sonata with deep concern. "Sonata? Are you feeling okay?" Adagio asks. Sonata doesn't respond to Adagio she just stares into the blank abyss. Aria finally gets her nose out of her comic book to see Sonata in a daze. She didn't see this as abnormal behavior, until she see's the two taco's that have not been eaten. Aria's expression grew with worry along with Adagio's. "Sonata, please say something!" Adagio begs. Sonata blinks for a moment before looking at the her two friends. "What is there to say?" Sonata asks with complete anger. Adagio flinched never before had she heard Sonata use such anger. Aria is in a state of shock, there fore not saying a word while Sonata glares at them both. Both Aria and Adagio dazes ended when Sonata leaves and slams the door to her room. "What has happened to Sonata?" Aria asks with deep worry. Never before has she cared about Sonata, but after their defeat she started to get feelings for her. Adagio gives Aria a look of confusion. "When did you start caring?" she questions the violet siren across from her. Aria's cheeks began to turn into a light pink hue, and Adagio understood. "You fell for her," she whispered. Aria sighs. She would have been angry and tell Adagio to keep her mouth shut. Although she was a bit to concerned for her crush that locked herself into her room. This is not Sonata's normal behavior. Aria thought looking up the stairs and questioning if she should go up there or not. She decides not to, she didn't want Sonata to snap at her like she did to Adagio. Aria came back to reality when she heard Adagio get up from her seat. "I'm going to talk to her," Adagio said with complete confidence. Aria only nods to her wishing her luck in her head, Adagio cautiously went up the stairs and creeps up on Sonata's door. Adagio knocks softly and the door unlocks allowing Adagio to come in. Once Adagio is inside she see's Sonata's room is clean for once. All the years she lived with Sonata her walls were covered with Sapphire Shore posters. Now the walls are bare and on her night stand is a cracked picture frame. Adagio studies it. She smiles a bit warmly seeing the Christmas picture they took together. She then grew unsteady about it. Why was it cracked? How did it become like that? Adagio thought, although her attention dispersed from the picture. She eyes Sonata who seems to be nonchalant. "Sonata what's wrong?" Adagio asks calmly. Sonata looks at Adagio. "I'm just a bit angry," Sonata replies looking at the wall ahead of her. Not even looking at Adagio. "Why? What happened?" "You should know Adagio after all those insults you called me, I'm surprised you care," Sonata said with no emotion in her tone. Adagio is quite frightened by Sonata's calm emotionless tone. "I didn't mean any of the words I said." Sonata scoffs at the orange haired girl, she turns her head and her baby blue hair swings with her movement. "I think you did, now get out or I'll force you to get out!" Sonata growls in a bitter tone. Adagio almost starts laughing. "What are you going to do?" Adagio mocks. Sonata sighs taking a deep breath and glares at Adagio. She gets off of her bed walking toward the orange haired girl. She raises her hand and smacks Adagio across the face. Adagio fell to the floor due to the impact of the smack she looks at Sonata with tears. "GET OUT!" Sonata yelled her majestic pink eyes turn into a sickly crimson red. Fear takes over Adagio and she runs out of the room and the door behind slams to a close. Aria nearly coming up the stairs is pushed down by Adagio, and both of the girls tumbled down the stairs. Aria groans in pain her ribs sore from the violent push she received from Adagio. Adagio gets off the floor and gasps in panic kneeling down before Aria. "Aria! Oh my goodness I'm so sorry!" she said and Aria looks at her. "It's okay, but what happened to you? Wait did Sonata slap you?" Aria asks in shock. Adagio nods with sadness and sighs. "I think the pain we caused her is starting to show." Aria felt guilty and wanted to apologize, but at the same time she knew it wasn't the best idea. Aria and Adagio sit on the couch wondering what they were going to do. "I might have to call Sunset to see if she can help." Aria groans with aggravation. "What can your girlfriend do? Sonata might throw her down the stairs," Aria said with anger. Adagio looks at her with seriousness. "She knows some things about friendship, she might be able to help. And never say anything bad about her again," Adagio growls dialing Sunset Shimmers phone number. ~*~ Sunset Shimmer is at Pinkie Pie's house. She is reading a book when her phone vibrates. She takes it out of her pocket and answers it with a cheerful hello. "Hey Adagio what's up?" she asks with glee hearing from her girlfriend. Rainbow Dash was playing a game, but decides to get off to show respect towards her friend. But soon grew with concern when she saw Sunset's angry glare. "She did what?!" Sunset asks with complete rage. Her yell rang through out the house and the other came in. "What in tarnation?" Applejack asks and she see's Sunset on the phone, but couldn't help notice the red hair girl's fists in balls. She knew something is up. > A Dark Spirit > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shortly after Sonata smacked Adagio she began to feel horrible. Sonata's soft magenta eyes scanned her room and see's her reflection. Sonata's once neat pony tail turned into a mess with massive tangles. Her mascara runs down her face like black tears. And a cruel smile is seen but it's not Sonata's, her reflection seems to have a mind of its own. "Hello dear Sonata!" the reflection speaks in a soft gentle tone. Sonata is a bit in shock, after all it's not every day your own reflection starts talking to you. "Who are you?" Sonata asks regaining her bubbly voice. Sonata's reflection seems to be laughing at her. She stops and eases her laughing fit. "Oh my dear Sonata why I'm you," she said and Sonata grew a bit upset. "You're not me you imposter!" Sonata shouts. Sonata's reflection chuckles and smiles at the naive creature before her. Her reflection comes out of the mirror, but instead of a messier version of herself. Her reflection is a darker version of her. The creature before has straight hair dark blue hair with black streaks running through. Her skin is sickly pale blue with her purple veins visible. Her blood red eyes bore into Sonata's. Her clothes are the same as Sonata's although took on more of a black and dark blue color scheme. "You're not me," Sonata whispers and the imposter only snickers. "Oh I am you. You see I'm a much darker psychopath. But I prefer the name Darkota," she said with a creepy grin. The smile made chills run up and down her spine. "So why are you here?" Sonata asks and Darkota's sinister grin stretches across her face. "I'm apart of you dear Sonata. I came out once you had enough of the bullies down stairs," Darkota explains and gave a sympathetic look. "You see I want to help. I want to carry out your revenge." "No!" Sonata shouts and grabs Darkota out of fear for her friends. "They didn't mean any of it!" "I think they did," Darkota said pushing Sonata's hands away from her. Sonata just looks at her with complete fear. Darkota smiles at the smell of it. "Mmm the delicious smell of fear! But it doesn't suit you now the other two, will do just fine." Before Sonata could think to say anything Darkota pushes into the mirror. Sonata is now the reflection and Darkota is the new Sonata. ~ * ~ `Adagio and Aria arrive at Pinkie Pie's house. Adagio knocks on the hard pink wood. The door creeps open and a pair of silvery blue eyes meet them. "Come in," the bubbly voice chirped. The door is left open to allow the sirens to come in. Adagio scans the place to see party decorations all over the place, and a very heated Sunset Shimmer is sitting on a pink taffy couch. Adagio frowns and walks over to the angry girl. "Sunny?" Adagio asks. Sunset looks up at Adagio and smiles a bit, but then frowns seeing a red hand print on her face. Sunset Shimmer anger grew, but she let it go. "What happened?" she asks her lover and scoots over to allow the orange hair siren to sit next to her. "We don't know, she's been acting weird," Aria speaks up. Rainbow Dash raises an eye brow. "Well duh! What kind of weird?" "Possessed weird," Adagio replies to Rainbow Dashes question. "I don't believe in demons but it shortly happened after I lost my temper with her." "I wonder if Twilight know anything about this," Sunset wondered. Rarity gives Sunset her book that she uses to communicate Twilight. Fluttershy gives the fiery-hair girl a pen to write with. "Thank you Rarity and Fluttershy," Sunset said in a sincere tone. Her face turn into wonder, thinking of what she could write to Princess Twilight. The fiery-haired girl began to write on the lines of something about entity's possessing someone while weak and venerable. "There," she exclaims, "now we just have to-" Sunset is interrupted but the book glowing and vibrating. She reads what Twilight had said. Dear Sunset Shimmer It seems that this is beyond my magical expertise. But I do know somepony to manipulate others by excepting a different take on their Elements of Harmony. His name is Discord. I'm he would know something of this, and I'll write to you once I find out. Sorry if I'm not much help. Sincerely Twilight. Sunset grew nervous, not even Twilight knew about this. Adagio pets Sunset's hand trying to comfort her, and it's working. Sunset grew calm and smiles at her. "I know Twilight will help us," she said taking her book and going to pinkie's room. Adagio and Aria are about to leave when Rarity and Applejack stops them. "How about you stay here with us?" Rarity asks with a kind smile. "Yeah, we don't want'cha to get hurt," Applejack said with honesty as usual. Adagio nods with a smile, but Aria declines. She worries about Sonata hurting herself or something worse hurting someone else and getting arrested. "I'll come by and get you tomorrow Adagio," Aria said before leaving to go back home. Little did she know that her Sonata is trapped in a world of reflections and the Dark Sonata will make herself known. > Aria's Worst Nightmare > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- As soon as Aria walks through the front door she notices a whimpering figure rocking back and fourth. Aria turns on the light to see Sonata. Sonata doesn't turn around but only sings a light song. "Oh sweet sun, how your light blinds. Oh sweet sun oh how you lie," Sonata cackled and Aria stands back afraid of the girl she loves. "So-sonata?" Aria crocked. Sonata turns her head slowly and Aria gasps seeing her black mascara running down her face like black tears. Her raspberry pink eyes are the size of pea's. The thing that un-settled Aria the most is her wide psychotic grin. "Hello Ari," Sonata said with a sickly sweet tone. "Sonata? What happened?" Aria asks with concern and fear. Sonata laughs crazily and her once straight sleek blue hair is now a mess of tangles and lose strands. "I'm not SONATA!" the blue girl shrieked, "I will not go by that name. You saw me weak, spineless, and a pawn. NO MORE! My name is now Darkota." Darkota thought about the name and sneers in disgust. "Now that I think about it. It's stupid. . . I will change it to Psyconata then," Psyconata grinned a Cheshire cat grin. Aria cowers against the living room wall close to the door. Looking at the girl she loves in fear. "Oh I love the smell of fear. It suites you Aria," she giggled manically. "Sonata please stops this. This isn't you," Aria begged. "QUIET YOU INSIGNIFICANT WORM!" Aria eyes are wide with shock she never had Sonata yell at her let alone use that sorta of vocabulary with her. Sonata always used poor excuses for insults but this, this isn't good at all. Psychonata smells the fragrance of fear and a fog of violet surrounds Aria being sucked into Psyconata's midnight black gem. Aria was wondering where she got it and was about to say something until Aria felt weak like all her strength was being sucked out. Once the violet mist is absorbed into Psychonata's necklace it glowed violet before turning back. Aria ended up collapsing onto the wooden floor beneath her. Aria's skin no longer the light shade of pink, but a sickly pale gray with her blue and purple veins covering her skin. Aria's violet eyes are now a light gray with bags and dark circles underneath them. Aria's long pig tails turned into a dull shade of violet while her aqua streaks turned gray. Aria looked sick and almost ready to meet death. Psychonata cackled like a maniac at Aria's condition. Psychonata smiles devilishly before giving Aria a cruel kiss good bye. While Aria passed out from a mixture of the venomous kiss and exhaustion. "Aria Blaze will be no more! Aria Blaze will be no more," Psychonata chanted each chant becoming more and more demonic and her grin grew wider and wider. Although Aria can hear her chant she's lucky she can't see her lovers face being twisted and contorted into an insane devious smile. Adagio Dazzle sat on the couch while the other girls were coming up a plan to help Sonata. Adagio looks at her phone again worrying about Aria. "Should I call her?" she asks herself. "Why? I'm sure she's fine," Sunset's voice originated from behind. "But what if she's not?" Adagio asks fear creeping into her voice. "I don't care how much Aria is a pain in the butt I care about her along with Sonata! If something happens to either one of them I would never forgive myself," Adagio said nearly on the verge of tears. Sunset rubs Adagio's back and sighs. "No offense, but something already happened to Sonata. She's gone nuts," Sunset said with a shudder. Adagio cringed and let a few tears loose. "And it was my fault I insulted her way to much. Sonata didn't deserve it!" Adagio wailed. The fiery red girl tried to comfort Adagio by hugging her allowing Adagio to let all of her pain and sorrow out. "It wasn't just your fault," Sunset lamented, "it was also Aria's." Adagio sniffled and nodded in agreement she knew why Aria was so cruel to Sonata. Aria never wanted to Sonata know that she had a crush on her. "Aria honestly didn't know how to cope with her feelings for Sonata. Still doesn't give her an excuse." Sunset nodded in agreement before Rarity comes in. "I'm sure Miss Blaze is fine," Rarity said trying to hide the uncertainty in her voice. "I say we go check on her!" Rainbow Dash said in a heroic attitude. Apple Jack only sighed. "And how in tarnation should we do that? We have no plan!" Rainbow Dash looks at Apple Jack piratically pleading . "Look AJ plan or not! Aria could be in trouble maybe not by Sonata. But maybe an outside force, we can't just sit here doing nothing while our friend is out there hurt or injured!" Rainbow Dash shouted tears welling up the thought of something happening to Aria hurt her heart. She counted Aria as a sister, after all they both had a snarky attitude. Not only that but they grew close to being best friends. Sunset Shimmer looks at Rainbow Dash with sorrow in her eyes. "I agree with Rainbow Dash and Apple Jack, we need to help Aria. BUT we also need a plan." Everyone in Pinkie Pie's house agreed, while Fluttershy comforts Rainbow Dash. Sunset Shimmer honestly had no idea what to do, but she knew that this maybe a problem that both Aria and Adagio both need to fix. But at the same time Sunset honestly had no idea what was going on. > Oh No! Not Discord! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Adagio Dazzle, Sunset Shimmer, Rainbow Dash, and the others thought of a plan. Rainbow Dash thought about busting the door down and just pinning Sonata down while they looked around for Aria. "Now hold on there sugar cube," Applejack said, "this 'ere ain't no rodeo." "Yes darling, we can't just use brash actions and hope for the best," Rarity stated. "Well I honestly don't want to just sit here!" Rainbow Dash fidgeted with her fingers. While the others argued about a plan Sunset and Adagio were talking to Twilight and see what she had to say. Twilight replied that she could probably bring Discord over and see what could be done about the issue. Sunset was a little hesitant about having the draconequus come through the portal. She heard tales about him when she was just a filly. "You sure about that Twilight?" Sunset wrote, she took a quick glimpse of Adagio only to see her face a paler color. "Why would she consider bringing the lord of chaos here?" Adagio asks. Sunset was about to answer only to be interrupted by the books glow and vibration. She opened it to see Twilight's reply. "I'm sure Sunset, Discord has been reformed and would be happy to accompany us." Although Twilight's reply was a bit reassuring she still had a bad feeling about Discord being apart of this. Still she got up and gathered her wits and went to her friends who still seemed to be arguing. Sunset cleared her throat, then a second time, and a third time. Finally she got fed up and took a deep breath. "QUIET!" Everyone froze and looked at Sunset with shock. Sunset felt her cheeks become warm she didn't want to be rude but it was the only way she could get their attention. "Twilight is coming here pretty soon, we should get to the portal as soon as possible. Any questions?" Sunset asks the group. Pinkie pie raises her hand. "Yes Pinkie?" she asks. "Can I wear a mustache?" she asks, okay now it was Sunset's turn to be completely dumbfounded. "Wha? No Pinkie," Sunset said and Pinkie Pie deflated a little bit. Finally the fiery haired girl finally gave out an aggravated sigh. "Fine!" As soon as the words came out Pinkie put on the mustache and everyone began to question the party planner. "What?" Once at the high school's horse statue the group of friends waited until finally Twilight came flying out the portal and landed on her face yet again. Sunset began to wonder where Discord would be. She didn't have to wait for long when a lanky figure appeared next to Twilight howling in laughter. "Oh Ms. Sparkle that was priceless," he howled again slapping his knee, "oh I even took a picture." He shows an animated picture of her flying out of the portal again and again and again. "Wait a minute how were you able to take that picture before you got here? And how is it . . . moving?" Rainbow Dash asks and the lanky man with snow white hair and a long toothy grin held out his hand, when Rainbow Dash took his hand she felt a sharp agonizing pain and her rainbow hair shot up. "Nice to meet you Rainbow, my name is Discord spirit of disorder and disharmony," he said with pride and Twilight laughs nervously. "He does that all the time, you'll just have to get used to him." "So what is our mission here Twilight?" he asked and then he used his magic to change his out fit to a secret spies outfit. Twilight only face palmed and sighs. Sunset seeing Twilight's discomfort decided it would be the best if she told him. "The problem is that Sonata has been acting weird, and as in weird-" "She is a psycho sociopath!" Adagio interrupted. "I see, can you tell me how this happened?" Discord asks with a note book and a pencil in his yellow gloved hand. "Erm, yes. It started shortly after I started to insult her." "Hmm sounds like all that negativity from you and this Aria Blossom character." "Blaze," the princess corrected. "Whatever seems to have triggered a darker part of her that she can no longer control," Discord said and all of them looked wide eyed at him. "What? Didn't think I know who these girls are?" he asks and before he continued he started to cackle with laughter, "oh I messed with these three girls before Tia and Lu Lu defeated me." Adagio only shuddered at the memory and Discord smiles at her. "Oh Ms. Dazzle I'm sorry for all the trouble I've caused you and your friends." "No you're not it was amusing to you," Adagio hissed. Discord couldn't keep a straight face and broke into hysterics. "Oh you're right, I'm not!" he laughed. Twilight started to think maybe bringing Discord wasn't such a good idea after all.
