The Dazzlings' Chemical X-Ident
Saving the Day
Previous ChapterNext ChapterSonata awoke with a soft groan. Her head throbbed like she had just been hit by a freight train. She tried to move her head to shake off the pain but found that her head was held in place by a metal band. She struggled to move, but the braces around her arms and legs held her firmly in place on a cold metal platform.
"Well, it appears that the little do-gooder is awake..." a deep masculine voice said.
Sonata immediately recognized the voice.
"Mojo!" Sonata gasped. "Let me go!"
"Oh, I am afraid that I cannot do that," Mojo replied. "You have become a threat to my plan. I thought you wanted to rule the world with your sisters."
Sonata looked away, tears brimming in her eyes. She remembered Adagio slapping her, and still felt the sting of the hand on her face.
"I did, but...." Sonata began.
"Oh, it appears that they do not want you anymore." Mojo sneered. "They want nothing more to do with you. They hate you; they do not love you."
"Shut up!" Sonata screamed. "You're lying! My sisters love me, and they're gonna whoop your monkey butt when they find out that you kidnapped me!"
"Is that so?" Mojo asked with a smirk. "If they "love" you so much, why aren't they here?"
"They'll come if they find out that you hurt me!" Sonata shot back.
"Why don't we test that theory?" Mojo asked, moving his gloved hand to a button.
Sonata's eyes widened in horror as she saw a large laser gun rising slowly, pointing directly at her. Mojo pressed another button and a lime green laser shot at her. A burning and extremely painful sensation shot through Sonata's body. She screamed and thrashed about in agony while Mojo laughed all the while. After about a minute, Mojo shut the laser off. Sonata was left shaking in pain. Mojo chuckled and put a hand to his ear.
"I do not hear your sisters approaching," he sneered. "It looks like you were wrong, not correct, and above all stupid to think that your sisters would ever come to your rescue."
"Y-you're wrong..." Sonata whispered, breathing heavily. "They'll come, I know they will...You can't make me believe anything different."
"You are a brave one," Mojo said. "You are confident in your belief that your sisters actually care about you. They ridicule you, abuse you every day, and you still believe that they love you?"
Mojo laughed evilly and walked up to Sonata, placing his gloved hand under her chin.
"Oh, Sonata Dusk, if only there were someone who loved you, you idiotic millennium aged infant."
"I don't care what you think," Sonata said. "And I'm not a baby!"
"If you think you are so strong, let us see how you take the laser on an even higher setting," Mojo said evilly.
Mojo then turned the dial on his laser from 2 to 8. The laser whirred and fired an even stronger beam straight at Sonata. Sonata slammed her eyes shut and ground her teeth in pain. She refused to cry out or scream, even as Mojo turned up the juice. Sonata struggled by pure willpower not to scream, and a small trickle of blood fell from her nose from the strain.
The laser stopped. Sonata looked up at Mojo and a weak smile came upon her face.
"S-see...? I told you I could do it..." she said weakly. "Even...without my sisters here...I'm still just as strong on my own.."
"Hmm, you are quite the fighter, young siren," Mojo mused. "However, let us see how strong you are with the laser setting on 15, the highest, greatest, largest, and most powerful setting!"
Mojo turned the dial and turned the laser on once more. The pain was excruciating, and Sonata did everything in her power to keep from screaming, but it was too much. She cried out in agony and tears streamed from her eyes. Mojo laughed as he shut the laser off. Sonata looked up and whimpered.
"P-please...no more...."
Mojo only grinned maliciously as his hand made his way to the power switch of the laser. Sonata's eyes widened in horror. Mojo pressed the button, and Sonata's screams echoed throughout the entire city.
-oooooooooo-
Peanut looked through the window of the Dazzlings' home and saw Adagio sitting on the couch flipping through the TV channels in a bored manner. Aria joined her looking just as bored, if not more.
"Y'know Dagi," Aria said. "The house has never been this quiet before. It's almost scary."
"That's because the little twerp and her pet are out of the house and out of my hair," Adagio replied. "Speaking of which, go check on her. See if she hasn't keeled over from hunger yet."
"Why would you say that Adagio?" Aria asked.
"Don't tell me you actually care about that little idiot!" Adagio laughed.
Aria crossed her arms and turned away to hide the look of concern on her face.
"I don't!" Aria laughed, but there was a hint of nervousness in her voice. " Pshh, like I'm worried about that moron."
Aria got up off of the couch and walked toward the window. The same thought kept running through her head as she got closer.
"Please be okay Sonata..."
Aria looked out the window and saw in horror that Sonata wasn't out there. She opened the window and looked out further only to further confirm her fears. Sonata was nowhere to be seen. Aria then heard a cheeping noise. She looked down and saw Peanut on the windowsill.
"Hey, it's you," Aria whispered, trying not to catch Adagio's attention. "What's the matter little guy? Where's Sonata?"
Peanut started cheeping wildly and jumping about. He pointed to the TV and Aria could only look on in confusion. Peanut ran inside the house and hopped on the arm of the couch. Adagio saw him and screamed, scuttling away from the little squirrel as fast as she could.
"Aria, how did that rat get in here?!"
"Calm down Adagio, it's just a squirrel," Aria said. "Oh, and Sonata's not in the backyard."
"What do you mean?" Adagio asked.
"I mean, Sonata's not in the backyard," Aria replied. "She vanished, and I think her little friend is trying to tell us where she is."
Peanut nodded and snatched the remote control from Adagio's hand. He switched the channel to a news station and the two sirens saw a giant mechanical android with a dome over its head stomping through the city.
"Hey, he's starting without us!" Adagio exclaimed, and then looked at the clock. "No wonder! He told us to meet him at 3:00 and it's 3:30! Come on Aria, we're already late as it is!"
Adagio zoomed out of the house and toward the city while Aria stayed behind and watched the rest of the broadcast. The next image that came onto the screen made Aria's heart sink into her stomach. There was Sonata, strapped in some kind of machine and pretty much out of it. Aria wasted no time in grabbing Peanut and flying as fast as she could to the city.
-oooooooooo-
"Sonata, why won't you ever grow up?!"
"Don't you get it, you idiot?! No one likes you!"
"This is all YOUR fault!"
"You're so stupid!"
"If you weren't around, we would've won!"
"You big baby!"
"Mother just kept you around because you were so pathetic! She never loved you, and neither do we!"
"No.....not...true..." Sonata mumbled in her delirious state.
Tears fell down the young siren's cheeks as she was slapped awake by Mojo Jojo. Mojo looked at her and smiled evilly.
"Now Sonata Dusk, you will watch as your beloved city is destroyed under the iron fist of the bad; the evil Mojo Jojo, and your "oh so loving" sisters..."
Sonata's eyes drooped, and Mojo slapped her again to keep her awake. She was so weak that she could barely keep her eyes open on her own. She had lost all faith of her sisters coming to rescue her. All she felt was the pain as she began to sob. Mojo left the room and sealed Sonata in silence and darkness.
-oooooooooo-
Adagio looked down on the fleeing people below her and a chuckle escaped her lips.
"It feels good to be on top again."
Before she knew what happened, Aria zoomed in front of her, putting her hands out in front of her. Adagio skidded to a stop, barely colliding with her younger sister.
"Aria, what are you doing?!" she scolded. "Get out of the way!"
"Adagio, we can't do this!" Aria said.
"What are you talking about?" Adagio asked, crossing her arms.
"We can't help Mojo!" Aria said. "He's got Sonata!"
"So?" Adagio asked. "How does this affect me?"
"Wake up, Adagio!" Aria screamed. "He could be hurting her, or worse!"
"Again, how does this affect me?" Adagio said, shrugging.
"You don't care, do you?" Aria asked. "Even after Mother entrusted you to look out for us."
Adagio's eyes widened, and her heart jumped into her throat. She looked her younger sister dead in the eyes, her fists clenched tight.
"Right before Sonata left for the city, I felt her presence," Aria continued. "She was there, and I could almost hear her. You--no, we promised to look out for Sonata, and we all promised Mother that we'd look out for each other. We're sisters, Adagio; a team, and we've been that way for the last ten thousand years or so. What makes it so hard to do that now?"
Adagio was speechless. She looked at Aria and suddenly saw the heavenly form of their mother. Her eyes widened in shock as her mother began to speak to her.
"Go, my daughter, your sister needs you. You must save her."
Just as her mother's image vanished, Adagio gained a look of confidence on her face.
"Come on, Aria, Sonata needs us."
Aria smiled, and nodded in agreement, both sisters flying off to save their little sister from the clutches of Mojo Jojo.
-oooooooooo-
Mojo stood at the window of the giant robot which was actually its eye. He grinned as he saw the two elder sirens approaching. He pressed a button on his control panel to let them in. Adagio and Aria landed inside and glared angrily at Mojo.
"Hello, girls, what seems to be the matter?" Mojo said with a smile.
"Where's Sonata?" Aria asked with a snarl.
Mojo chuckled and pressed another button.
"I am glad you asked..." he said.
A door opened behind Mojo revealing Sonata still strapped to the platform. Sonata looked up and smiled weakly. Adagio and Aria smiled back, but before they could take one step, Mojo stopped them.
"Now, girls, I would not do that if I were you..." he said and another laser gun appeared in front of Sonata.
"We're taking Sonata, Mojo Jojo," Adagio said. "The deal's off."
"One step and your sister will be doused with Antidote X, ridding her of her powers." Mojo sneered.
"Forget the powers, just let our sister go!" Aria shouted.
"So be it," Mojo said and reached for the button.
Adagio smirked at Aria, who then grinned at Peanut. Peanut jumped off of Aria's shoulder and charged at Mojo. He leaped up and started scratching Mojo's face like mad. Adagio and Aria took this opportunity to race to Sonata's aid. The sisters tried to pull the braces off of Sonata's limbs but found that even with their superhuman strength, the braces wouldn't budge. Mojo had unknowingly thrown Peanut off of his face and turned on the laser that Sonata was familiar with instead of the Antidote X laser.
"Watch out!" Sonata screamed.
Adagio and Aria fell backward as Sonata was blasted with the laser again at full force. She screamed in agony as Mojo fled from the scene. Aria quickly used her laser vision to blow the laser to bits. Adagio managed to break the braces that held Sonata. Sonata fell limp from the machine, but Adagio caught her right before she hit the ground. Sonata lay unconscious in Adagio's arms.
"Sonata?" Adagio whispered. "Sonata, can you hear me?"
Sonata's head fell limply to the side and Adagio gasped when she saw the faint slap mark on Sonata's cheek. Tears brimmed in the eldest siren's eyes as she held her little sister close.
"Oh, Sonata..." Adagio said sadly. "I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry."
Aria looked on, trying to fight the oncoming tears.
"Sonata, stay with me!" Adagio pleaded, shaking Sonata's still body. "Please, wake up!"
"Adagio...it's over," Aria said, hanging her head in defeat. "She's...gone."
"Sonata..." Adagio sobbed. "I'm so sorry. I never meant to hurt you. This is all my fault..."
Adagio leaned down and lightly kissed Sonata's forehead. Peanut climbed onto Aria's shoulder and hung his head.
"SONATA!!!!!!" Adagio shouted to the heavens, tears streaming from her eyes.
"N-not so loud Dagi...you're screaming in my ear..."
Adagio looked down and saw Sonata smiling up at her.
"I didn't know you cared..." she said sweetly.
Adagio pulled Sonata closer to her and hugged her tight. Aria rushed over and joined in on the group hug.
"Don't you ever scare me like that again." Adagio laughed. "Do you hear me?"
Sonata nodded and then grinned devilishly.
"Now let's go kick some monkey butt..."
Adagio and Aria nodded in agreement and the three sisters took off.
-oooooooooo-
Mojo flew an escape pod through the city blasting buildings, streets and barely missing the fleeing people. Mojo laughed evilly, but just as he opened his eyes, he saw Adagio floating in front of him crossing her arms and smirking.
"There are three rules of villainy," she said. "Rule one: Never put a self-destruct button in a huge robot."
Mojo turned to fly in another direction but wound up right in front of Aria.
"Rule two: Don't try to escape and cause havok as to where the hero can easily find you."
Mojo, again, tried to run but found himself nearly face to face with Sonata. Mojo smiled nervously.
"Rule three:" Sonata said. "You mess with one supergirl...you mess with 'em all!"
Adagio and Aria joined Sonata on either side. The three girls shared a smirk and then with one mighty punch, Mojo went flying, his escape pod getting stuck inside the robot. Together, the three sirens lifted the giant robot and chucked it into the air. It winked out of sight and with a boom, Mojo was gone; coincidentally landing in the city prison.
"Curses...." he muttered.
The Dazzlings landed softly to the ground where a crowd had gathered around them. Everyone was silent until a sweet southern voice came up from the crowd.
"Lookie here, it's the supergirl that saved me!"
Sonata waved to Granny Smith, and Applejack looked on in surprise.
"Well, I'll be a sidewinder's sister..." she gasped.
The crowd erupted with uproarious cheers and applause. The Dazzlings stood in the midst of it all, their faces were those of surprise and astonishment. A wave of warmth washed over the three sisters.
"So, this is what it feels like to be truly adored," Adagio said with a smile.
"I know, and it feels great!" Sonata chimed.
"Y'know Sonata," Aria said. "For once, I agree with you."
Just then the city's mayor ran into the center of the crowd, with what appeared to be a telephone in her hands.
"You girls are heroes!" the mayor said. "It would be an honor to have you three to protect our city. This hotline will be used to call you whenever there's trouble."
Adagio gladly took it and shook the mayor's hand with a smile.
"Don't worry, Miss Mayor, you can count on us."
"When there's trouble, you know who to call," Aria stated with a smirk.
"The Dazzling Puff Girls!!" Sonata cheered.
Adagio and Aria looked at her in confusion.
"Too much?" Sonata asked sheepishly.
"I like it," said the mayor. "Dazzling Puffs! Dazzling Puffs!"
The crowd followed the mayor's lead and started chanting in unison. Smiling, the three siren sisters took off into the air; leaving a rainbow trail of pink, green, and blue behind them.
So, for the very first time, the day is saved thanks to...The Dazzling Puff Girls!
