Chaotic Wind

The night of the final round of the battle of bands has finally arrived, the crowd full of the hypnotized people of Canterlot high. Blissfully unaware of the flaming planetary sphere slowly falling down.

The Dazzlings waited on backstage as Trixie’s group performed their piece, two of the group looking unsettled while their leader focused all her attention on the competition.

“I thought that we were here to feed on equestrian magic.” Aria spoke up breaking the silence present between them.

“We are.” Adagio replied glancing at her “But the magic we have gotten from these fools is enough to restore us to full power.”

“In case you haven’t noticed,” Aria raised her voice staring back at their leader “That thing out in the sky is on freaking fire, is breaking down and is falling down here! We would be already out of town and safe if I were in charge around here.”

“Well you’re not.” Adagio’s stare became stern as she puts her hands on her hips. Both unaware of their third companion looking between the two, scared of saying anything in this situation.

“Would you look at what’s going on?!” Aria pointed a thumb behind her, multiple trails of smoke coming from both the town and city visible from where they stood “People are losing their minds. heck I’M losing my mind!”

“And that’s why you’re not the leader, you’re weak!”

Sonata covered her ears as the discussion between her sisters continued, hoping that they would stop soon and unsure of what to think of anymore.

Entering the interrogation room again, the human Twilight rubbed her temples as she sat down again. Looking down on the table, her impostor tilted her head.

“What’s going on? What happened?” She asked as her human counterpart as she sighed and finally met her gaze, unsure of what is she feeling no matter how much she looked at her eyes.

“A catastrophe, that’s what happened.” The human Twilight paused before continuing “I’m being called to help with this situation, but I’m not going without you.” Not letting her impersonator respond, she grabbed her arm taking her outside of the room. Handing her over to one of the men in suits waiting.

“Take her and her accomplices to the helicopters, I’ll meet you there in a moment.” The man nodded as he went off to carry his orders. With that dealt with, she took out her cellphone to make a call. Getting a response after a few rings.

“I’m glad you called Twilight, everything is going to hell and all that these zombies from Canterlot High cares about is the stupid competition!” Desperate screams came from the other side, overlapping the cheers from the crowd in the background and the performance of the band currently playing.

“Calm yourself Glyde,” Twilight told him calmly as she took a brief pause “I assume you’re talking about the meteorite.”

“Yes,” Glyde exhales and spoke calmly “I don’t know what happened, it just came out of nowhere in the middle of the night.”

“Unless…” She pondered as she made way through the hallways of the facility, walking past the panicking staff who in turn ran past her “Go seek shelter, I’ll see if I can do something. Thank you for helping me.”

“No problem miss Twilight, godspeed.” With that the call ends, next thing she knew she was already in the heliport with the prisoners she requested already on the multiple helicopters there.

“Miss Sparkle, what do you plan on doing?” A man in suit asked her. Looking in the helicopter were Twilight, Sunset and their dog staring back at her. The eyes of her doppelganger were unsettling, seeing despair and misery in them.

“Well?” The resident Twilight asked curiously, meeting with silence as her double momentarily stared down. Her dog nuzzling her cheek, drawing her stare on him and then back on her.

“I can tell you on the way, I think there’s a way to stop all of this. But you have to trust me and we don’t have much time left.” She pleaded to her human counterpart, glancing up to the now bigger meteorite.

Without a word she joined them up on the helicopter, tapping it’s exterior and it soon takes off. Nudging her otherworldly companion to start explaining herself.

Once the turn of the sirens had come to perform, at first they didn’t show up. But they did after a few minutes, two of them looking slightly bruised. But given the state the whole school was in, they wouldn’t care about that seeing that they don’t care about the giant red moon-like object with blue spears stuck on it.

Without any more problems the performance began, absorbing power the more the song progressed. Their bodies shining like the cosmos before finally regaining their lost power, all was going well. Now all that was left is to get out of this death zone into a safe place.

If only it were that easy.

The Dazzlings only made it as far as the backstage once they finally decided to retreat, bumping into some invisible force that prevented them to leave. Aria attempting to punch the invisible glass, even attempting to use her screech. But it was ineffective.

The boom of a thunder echoed from far away, a figure with a purple robe and cap approaching from the other side of the wall with only his neutral lips visible of his face.

“And just where do you think you’re going?”

Aria screamed and charged into the barrier, banging her fist on it while the man on the other side stared at her futile attempts. Simply rubbing his eyes while she still continued with her desperate assault.

“You stupid halloween freak, let us through or-”

“Or you will break your hand trying to break my barrier.” He cut her off giving her a glare, raising a hand to her a gust of wind blew into the backstage. Blowing the sirens back to the ground, the invisible barrier giving a short flash before cracks started to appear on it before breaking apart. The shards purposely flying past the group of sirens, not caring if he can see France from where he’s standing.

Letting anger flow through again, Aria’s eyes had fully glowed red. Summoning her inner siren spirit she started to flat faster than the others could, focusing her magic into a magical shriek that shook the place. A slightly closer sounding thunder boom could be heard not much shorter after the siren unleashed her magically enhanced attack.

Contrary to what was believed before, the attack did have an effect on the wizard. Who’s eyes went wide before closing them and covering his ears, his own screams of pain barely audible while the rippling screams roared through the backstage. Feeling as if his ears were being drilled into eachother and meeting in the middle.

Without knowing the other two sirens have joined into the attack, adding their own voices in order to bring him down. The pain on his ears increasing as he felt that he was slowly being pushed backwards, unable to do nothing he was flung into the darkness of the backstage. The sounds of crashing came to seconds after.

“We got him, now move your asses!” Adagio didn’t gave them a chance to respond, quickly retreating her siren form before retreating back the way they came. Flying away with their smaller version of their wings, the Dazzling ignored the inactive crowd while they retreated to the other side of the stage. Escaping this time by the outside.

It was unfortunate that a sudden massive cyclone engulfed the stage entirely, blowing them and the students away.

This time the siren trio softened the landing with an attempt to recover themselves, setting to float in place once more. Spotting the one shadow that hasn’t moved inside the storm carrying debris of what used to be entire stage, the shape fits with of that purple mage that they had encountered earlier. The reading on his magic suddenly skyrocketing to insane levels.

“Adagio, this isn’t good!” Sonata screamed, the fear in her voice notable as she holds her hands together on her chest.

Not letting her fellow of kin even a tiny chance to speak, a black and red ball of sparks was summoned at the mage’s side. Quickly firing a concentrated heat laser targeted at Sonata, who was late by a second with her attempt to dodge by leaping away from the other sirens. The attack severing one of her wings before she landed and rolled on the ground with a loud scream.

But it hasn’t stopped there, four more similar spheres have been summoned to surround him as he dismissed the cyclone surrounding it. The remains of the stage for the battle of bands falling down on the ground, the orange glow of the cloudy night sky illuminated the mage’s more enraged expression.

Aria’s eyes glowed red again before attacking one more time, using both her and her spirit’s voice towards him. Adagio quickly ran to Sonata’s side and knelt down besides her, her own rage rising seeing her becoming a sobbing mess while trying to reach to the spot her wing was severed. Adagio’s own eyes starting to glow as well.

The mage received the siren attack once more, but this time the orbs of darkness countered with their heat laser. Cutting through Aria’s assault until the five finally hit her in various part of her body like her stomach, left arm and one of her legs. Screaming as she felt the lasers burn into her body that forced her manifested spirit to disappear.

Adagio had quickly catched her in time, picking her unharmed arm to wrap it around her shoulders. Aria took a glance to her, honestly a bit surprised to see this.

“We did not…” Adagio trembled, her voice starting out low “But I’ll be damned if we got banished to this world just to die in it. I don’t know a thing about you. But I don’t care, we’re not gonna die here after a thousand years of banishment! Specially just when we got what we wanted!” She finished shouting as loud as she could, not knowing that she was crying tears of frustration.

All she got in return was an eyeroll before he suddenly appeared before the two standing sirens, holding his hands outwards a jet of flames was unleashed upon them acting like a magic blast. The two becoming separated and leaving their skin further burned, the mage looking at Sonata for a moment before firing a heat laser on the neck. It didn’t kill her, but left a mark.

The mage walked over at Aria, stepping a foot on the stone of her necklace. Her eyes went wide and soon his hand covered in fire has been brought down to a stop near her face, a deep frustration and hopelessness coming over her while looking at the defeated forms of her fellow sirens. Some flames still remained on Adagio and Sonata was too shocked to move.

“I hate to admit,” The purple mage spoke to her with coldness in his voice “But you fight well, in my opinion anyway.” His gaze hardened as he put more pressure on the necklace, it’s owner giving a short scream before he continued “However, your lives themselves are a hindrance to me and my plan. I can’t have that.”

He then looked up at the sky, the red meteor now growing closer to the planet and in closer look it seemed that not only was it breaking apart. But there was blue sword like objects sticking out from all around it. The mage had put more pressure on the necklace, cracks starting to appear on it slowly. Making Aria to try taking his foot off her necklace with punches, but it was no use.

“It’ll be over soon,” He continued to speak as he ignored her futile attempts to save her magic source “No, more like it’ll start. This isn’t even close to the beginning.”
