Adagio and Aria waited in the hospitals waiting room, worried. "What if Sonata doesn't make it?" Adagio wondered as she paced around the floor. "I know she was an idiot and a complete worst, but she was never harmful." Aria grew dizzy from watching Adagio pacing and decided to read some magazines. None of the magazines were interesting but that was the way hospitals have them. Aria stood up. "If you need me, I am going to get something to eat at the gas station down the street. I'll get something for you to." Adagio didn't listen, as she was still pacing.
Human Twilight had set up a perimeter around the statue. She had set up tracking beacons and other equipment usually found in Sci-Fi movies around the school. "I don't know what game those girls were trying to pull," Said Human Twilight with her anomaly detector activating. "But whatever this anomaly is, I am going to discover it and no one will think I am insane." She spoke so loudly that it attracted the attention of Principal Celestia.
The tracking beacons glowed brightly and an alarm sounded on the detector as a black aura began to dissipate. "What in the world," Human Twilight stood in wonder as what seems to be a black smoke moved like it had a mind of its own. Human Twilight gave chase until she was stopped by Celestia. "Where do you think you're going?"
Human Twilight turned towards the Principal, her eyes fixed on her stern posture. "I am here on scientific research." She told Celestia. Twilight was sweating. "How could I be so stupid as to not get authorization from the superintendent so's to avoid this situation?" She thought. Principal Celestia approached Twilight when a sudden shock felt upon her body. Celestia was brought to her knees with her hand on her head as if she was having a migraine.
"Weird." Twilight muttered as the strange readings seemed to be receding. Principal Celestia got up to her feet. "What happened? And why do I feel like I have neglected something?" Twilight drew to a conclusion that whatever happened in the school just now seemed to have vanished completely. "Look, Principal Celestia," Twilight lifted her up. "I am a Scientist and I am here to find out the unknown phenomenons that have been occurring at this school so I urge you to cancel school for the next week while I get to work on this."
Principal Celestia understood what she was saying and given the circumstances of weird occurrences going on, she reluctantly agreed and made her way back to her office to give the announcement. "That was easier than I thought." Claimed Twilight.
30 minutes later the school was let out as teens rushed out of the doors and heading for home. Four of them were confused more than any. Fluttershy felt like she had done something awful while Apple Jack and Rarity stood in bewilderment, wondering what was going on and Pinkie Pie didn't seemed to care as she was the first to see Human Twilight. "HEY YOU GUYS! TWILIGHT'S HERE!" She shouted, giving everyone a headache. "Pinkie, dear. Not so loud. I feel like my brain might give out." Rarity held her dead.
The four humans made their way to Human Twilight who was surprised by a surprise Pinkie hug. The rest followed suit and hugged the confused Twilight. "Kinda in my personal space." She tried to pry everyone off of her. "Wait a minute," Apple Jack spoke. "You look kinda different. Got a new sense of style? Like Rarity always say, You can never have too many outfits."
Everyone laughed except for Twilight. "I know who you are and I can tell you that I am not your Twilight. If you're looking for them, she and a few girls ran off to that abandoned Warehouse a few hours ago this morning. Saying that they needed to help save a couple of their friends." The four of them thanked Twilight and headed off to the destination where she had told them only to find it in ruins.
"Gadzooks," Apple Jack claimed. They were looking at the wreckage and see that Police were still there. "Looks like someone tore this place a new one."
They raced towards the wreckage when they were stopped by an officer. "Woah there, this place is not safe." He told them. They wondered what could have caused this until Rarity spoke. "Our friends were here for some daring rescue and we want to know what happened." Soon enough, detectives found a body and lifted him up. The girls were shocked to see that the body was Flash Sentry. "Hook impaled through the heart, mostly instant death, self inflicted given the position of his arms." One of the detectives announced to Captain Shining Armor. He turned to see a group of teenage girls standing there. "Is there something I can help you with? This place is off limits to civilians."
The girls talked among themselves to determine who would ask. But after much talk, Apple Jack approached Shining Armor. "We was wonderin' if you know what happened here and if you had seen Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle anywhere?" Shining Armor sighed and crossed the tape. "I am sorry to tell you this but Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle are sent to the hospital for their injuries as well as Sonata Dusk and Rainbow Dash. We've apprehended these three as Flash Sentry's accomplices. I can't tell you anything more, but I know two girls went to the hospital. Adagio and Aria I think their names were. They'll they'll tell you."
The four were shocked to hear the Dazzlings names. From what they knew, they were their enemies. And why was Rainbow Dash there? Shining Armor walked over to an empty Police car. "If you want, I can take you girls over there. My part is over anyway as far as the investigation is concerned." They agreed and hopped aboard the Police car and Shining Armor drove off.
-somewhere-
Te dark energies retracted to their original host. "Tasty hate." Said a dark growling voice. It stood up and walked over to the hole where there is sunlight. He was tall and dark with glowing green eyes and a malicious smile. His attire was that of an aristocratic vampire with a black cape hanging down to his feet. "These mortals have such strong hatred for these Sirens that I am getting more power every second. Maybe it is time that I remove them from the equation. After all, from the knowledge I have obtained, I would actually be doing this world a service and I can sate my blood lust at he same time." He made a cackling laugh that echoed the empty tunnel.
Shining Armor reached the hospital and dropped them off. "Thank you for the ride." They all said. Shining Armor drove off as they walked in the Emergency room entrance to find Adagio pacing and Aria munching on a bag of Doritos while reading a few manga comics. Apple Jack lifted her sleeves to give them a piece of their mind. Fluttershy hid somewhere so as no one can see her. Pinkie Pie was distracted by the Television to even noticed as Rarity walked up with Apple Jack to the former Sirens. "Alright y'all. You have done something and I want answers!" Apple jack demanded to Adagio.
Adagio stopped her pacing to see Apple Jack and Rarity looking at her with scorn. "I didn't do anything. In fact, your friend Rainbow Dash put her life on the line for us for reasons unknown." Apple Jack looked confused. Adagio didn't sound like her evil self. Perhaps their defeat had taught them humility? "Besides, why would we go out of our way to make Sonata suffer as well as ourselves?"
Apple jack came up an answer "So's to make yerselves out to be the victims, that's why!" Adagio was taken aback. "Excuse me? We may have been trying to get everyone to adore us, but we never abide with self injury just because we became hated. In fact," Her words were cut off as Twilight was the first to come out of the ER. She felt like a donkey kicked her with her hand rubbing her back. She was administered back pads to alleviate the pain.
"Twilight!" They cheered as they embraced their true Twilight in a hug which caused pain/ "Uh, girls. Kinda hurting at the moment." Everyone blushed and backed away. Sunset Shimmer walked in a minute after. She was shaken, but not worst for wear. "Rainbow Dash is in recovery. She's conscious but a bit irritable from the tetanus." Everyone was relieved to know Rainbow Dash was alive until Adagio burst through. "And Sonata? What about her?" Sunset was surprised to see Adagio but remained her composure. "Sonata will be just fine. They had a lot of work on her and she is resting in the same room as Rainbow Dash. She is unconscious but we can still see her."
Everyone followed Sunset Shimmer to room 25 on the 3rd floor to see Rainbow Dash laying in bed. Next to her resting was Sonata Dusk. She had various machines attached to her to monitor blood, heart and breathing. "Hey guys." Rainbow said weakly as they all walked in. Twilight, Sunset, Rarity, Apple Jack, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie sat around Rainbow Dash while Adagio and Aria sat beside Sonata. Rarity was the first to speak. "What happened to you darling? You look dreadful."
Rainbow Dash told them how she had covered the Dazzlings when Flash and the diamond dogs were beating on them and how he had abducted both her and Sonata to the warehouse to be tortured. "I was lucky that I am resilient. Too bad about Sonata though, Flash had her as his primary target. Saying that he wanted to cleanse the evil that they caused."
Sunset Shimmer took a second to check up on Sonata. "You two do know that Rainbow Dash think of you three as friends right? That's why she ran over to cover you girls." Adagio and Aria were silent as they watched Sonata with hopelessness in their eyes. "Hey, everything is going to be OK. I had a hard time knowing what friendship meant." Adagio broke the silence. "Why? Why us? After the horrible stuff we did, you still call us friends?" She was spilling in tears. "All this friendship thing. It's not known to us. We only knew how to spread hate and distrust. It was we were born to do. We know nothing about friendship! We don't even know who we are anymore!"
Sunset hugged the hurt Adagio who was surprised. "Which is why we are alike and why we are friends. I never knew friendship until Twilight came along. I wanted nothing more than to conquer everything, but Twilight taught me that there is another way to being accepted and adored and that is through the magic of friendship and that is what we were teaching you three. I still have a lot to learn, but together, we can redeem ourselves."
Aria joined in on the hug and soon, everyone else did as they surround Adagio and Aria in their loving embrace. "This feeling. I am starting to remember this feeling of love back when we were young. Back when we remember our mother." Adagio spoke softly. The heart reading went up as they watched Sonata stir from her sleep. She opened her eyes and see that her first sight were everyone hugging. "D-did I miss anything?" She said weakly.
Adagio and Aria could not believe it. She was alive and well. Well, as well as someone who had went through Tartarus and back. Her eyes were bloodshot and aches and pains felt through out her body, telling her not to move much.
