Anon's Dazzling day in Canterlot High.
Sideways Rain and Booming Thunder.
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"Where did he go!?"
"Relax, Aria, he couldn't have gone very far. Say, where is Sonata?"
"I don't know and I couldn't care less, things have been quite peaceful without that air-head around." Aria said with venom in her words, she heard a small gasp from behind her.
Adagio took in a sharp hiss of breath with a cringe to boot. "Um... Aria, you didn't really mean that, did you?"
"Every word, Adagio, she's a lot more trouble than she's... " Aria's eyes widened when she realized why her sister was sympathizing with Sonata, she slowly raised her hand up and pointed behind herself and Adagio nodded. Aria turned around and saw Sonata, tears threatening to burst from her glassy eyes. Before Aria could apologize Sonata ran away, trying not to cry but failing miserably.
"Ugh, nice work, Aria, we just lost a third of our magic thanks to your temper." Adagio said, causing Aria to bang her fist into the locker.
"Geez... I need to apologize, don't I?"
"If it's Sonata, than your going to have to mean it too. She's a sensitive girl and they need to be cared for." Aria cracked a smirk from Adagio's explanation.
"Well, she definitely needs to be taken care of, girl might hurt herself without someone to make sure she does things right."
"I HATE YOU, ARIA! I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN!!"
Aria's eyes twitched in agitation, while her sister just shook her head in disappointment. "Oh, Aria, I figured you would've learned your lesson fifteen seconds ago but it seems your temper has just made matters worse."
"Don't remind me..."
(Men's restroom)
"Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz-Eh!? Where am I?" I woke up in the guys bathroom, sitting in the stall. I wiped my ass and got out, it was still in the lunch period as there were still people outside chatting up a storm. But out of all the talk I heard a noise... "Is that... Crying?" I followed the sound and it led me to the stairwell, where I saw Sonata. I flinched in fear of her being after me but then I noticed the small gap that exposed her covered face, she had been crying her eyes out as they were red and swollen, and her make-up was running down her face like wet paint. "S-Sonata? What's wrong? And why are you crying?"
"G-go away... I wanna be left alone..." The poor thing, I couldn't stand the sight of it. Who would have the balls to make a girl cry? That's just... It's just not right.
"Sonata, it's me, Anon. You can tell me, I won't bite." Sonata's head jerked from her arms with a surprised look.
"Anon!?... I didn't know it was you, I'm sorry for acting like that." I dismissed her with a raised hand.
"No need for apologies, I can't really understand what your going through, but I can see that your really emotional right now." I walked over to her and sat down next to her, holding her shoulder to comfort her. "Now, tell uncle Anon what's wrong."
"W-well 'sniff' I was going to see my sisters but... but, Aria... She said that 'sniff' than an 'Airhead' like me would just get in the way! I... 'sniff' I hate them, and I never wanna see them ever again!"
She started crying again, I could never stand to see a girl cry so I carefully reached my arm around to pat her back. "Hey, it's okay, I'm sure that your sister was just frustrated and said something that she didn't mean to say." She latched onto my waste, crying to her hearts content.
"But she said it again, even after I left! She said that I need someone to watch me or I'll just hurt myself like an idiot!"
At this point my shirt was stained with snot and tears, but I didn't care about that, I just wanted to see this girl smile again. So I held her, she stopped crying but she didn't struggle to get away, she just sat in silence. The silence was only temporary, she started crying again but I could tell this was the same case as Gilda's. She was just so pent up that her frustration collapsed on itself, she was holding it in the entire time and covering it up with an innocent smile so no one would judge her. "It's okay, just cry it out..."
"Y-your the bestest friend I've ever had!" Sonata said, suppressing her crying so she could speak to me properly.
"Well it's only natural for friends to support each other." I said.
"W-wait, you... actually wanna be friends with... 'sniff' with someone like me?"
"Of course, why wouldn't I?"
Sonata smiled and wrapped her arms around me, her crying had come to an end and all that was left was a new Sonata with a small smile. "I've never had a real friend before."
"Really? Of all people I would have expected you to have at least a friend." I said in surprise.
"It's... It's complicated." She got up and started to walk away, but she turned to me. "Thanks for your support, Anon, it means a lot to me." She waved goodbye and turned back around, walking around the corner. That's when I felt something in my palm, I looked down and found a necklace with a red gem in the middle, it looked exactly like Aria's but I knew who it really belonged to. "Sonata, wait! You forgot your..." She was gone, no traces of her to be seen. "Maybe..." I put it on and tucked it under my shirt, it glowed faintly and I felt a warmth build up with it. "It's a memento of our friendship?" I shrugged and began my walk to get my things, with the new knowledge of who Sonata's sisters are bouncing around in my head. "Well if one thing's for sure, Aria's gonna flip her lid when she finds me."
"Oh your damn right I am!"
I turned my head and saw Aria charging at me like a bull, I started running like my life depended on it, and it probably did considering if I couldn't out run Aria she would make me eat her fist and my own teeth as a bonus. "Stop chasing me, you psychopath!"
"No! Not until your mine!" I was shoving innocent students out of my way as to get away from Aria, I was almost at the end of the hall but Adagio jumped out of the corner. Now, in her head she expected me to stop and fall onto my back, but boy was she wrong! I couldn't stop myself from ramming her if I wanted to, I was simply going to fast to stop at a dime, so the next best thing was to run her down and hope for the best! I ran her ass over with a body-check and ran for it, I looked back to see her already recovered and starting her sprint to catch me. "Playing hard to get, huh!? That's perfectly fine, I love to when my prey fights back!"
"Why won't you just leave me alone!?!" Okay, now I had two psychopaths chasing me. However, one wants me dead while the other wants to get in my pants, the two conflicting parties having separate goals but they share a similar objective, catching me.
"C'mon, Anon! I'll make it quick if you take your beating like a man!"
"Go beat-off in the corner, you bitch!" Okay, I knew that would only infuriate her more but I've always wanted to tell someone that!... Ugh, I'm such a horses ass...
"What did you just say to me you little prick!?"
"Oh sweet merciful god, why did I say that!?" I whispered to myself, I heard a grunt and a sound similar to a bull snort.
"Get out of my way!"
"Nope"
Only one person ever used that catch phrase, and sure enough I saw the red skinned Big Macintosh fighting against Aria, their hands locked together and fighting each other in one of the greatest power struggles I've ever witnessed. He turned toward me, his face showing his determination to halt this girl. "Well!? You gonna stand there like a deer in the headlights!? Git goin', now!"
Big Macintosh barely ever spoke in complete sentences let alone spoke in the first place. "Why are you helping me?"
"Cause we're friends, partner, you'd do the same fer me if I was caught in a heap o' trouble." He smirked and turned back to Aria. "Now git! I can't hold 'er forever!"
I smirked and gave him a nod. "Thanks Big Mac, I owe you one!" I took off with Adagio hot on my tail, Big Macintosh's display of power could only distract her for a short amount of time and I spent that time getting ahead of her.
"Anny! Please stop! I just want a taste~"
"Normally I'd take you up on free sex, but I'm not into exhibitionism!"
"You can't say that until you try it!"
"How about no, you crazy-oof!" As I turned the corner I hadn't noticed that Adagio had flanked into another hall that connected to the same place I was heading. Since she took the shorter path she tackled me and I fell against a trashcan, causing it to collapse on me and cover me in trash.
"Now your mine..." As she approached me I grabbed the closest thing and swung it at her, I heard the satisfying crack of hard object against an enemy cranium. I didn't see what I hit her with because I had my eyes closed but when I looked at her she had a big bruise on the side of her face and some scratches. She started to wobble a bit and then I saw the stupid grin on her face. "I'll have the three o' clock flight to Hasbro, hold the mustard." She fell back unconscious, when I looked to see what I hit her with I saw a pineapple with a smeared smiley face and a few dabs of blood. after a few moments of just looking down at the fruit I got up, grabbed it by the leaves, and sighed. "God dammit, Pinkie..." I looked down at Adagio and noticed her necklace, I unlatched it and observed it carefully. "It's the same necklace..."
"Yes, it is." I turned my head and saw Sonata, a normal expression on her face. "Anon... do you know the Greek story of Odysseus?"
"Um... weird question... But yeah, we're reading it in English, why?"
"In the story, he and his crew faced many different trials, such as the Cyclops, Charybdis and Scylla, and even Cannibals... How far in the book have you gotten?"
"He's just returned from his voyage." I answered, she nodded and continued her story.
"Good, now do you recall a section in the story where he's tied up to the mast of the ship?"
"Yeah?..."
"Well, why did they tie him up?"
"Because they were approaching the Island where the Sirens lived, his crew tied him up so he wouldn't fall for their enchanted song..." Sonata didn't say anything else, instead, she started singing with a beautiful voice. There were no words, just a continuous 'aah' with a changing pitch that made it into a beautiful melody. I looked around and saw that men were being drawn to her while women started to bicker with each other. When the song ended, everyone snapped out of their hypnosis and went on like nothing happened. "I... T-that was-"
"The siren's song... The song that captivated men and drove women mad." She grabbed my sleeve and took me to an uninhabited hallway, then she continued. "You see, Anon, the legend of Odysseus is true, all the creatures in the story once inhabited their own territories throughout the vast sea..." She turned back to me with a fire in her eye. "But that all changed when Odysseus returned to his home of Ithaca, when he reclaimed his place as king he swore to take revenge for his fallen crew members. He started studying black magic and forbidden rituals that even the gods wouldn't dare to preform, then one day, he found it. The key for his revenge, a ritual that would banish anything his heart desires to another dimension known as Equiss, a once uninhabited world that now thrives on the very creatures that were sent there by Odysseus. He banished the races that took his crew members lives, but he wasn't satisfied. He started to acquire what you would call 'The King's Madness'." Sonata tilted her head down with a sad look on her face. "He banished every race that wasn't considered 'Human', and one by one they were sent to Equiss; Centaurs, Minotaurs, Dragons, Hydras, Pegasi, and at one point he even banished the Gods who watched over the world from Mount Olympus. Zues, Ares, Apollo, Aphrodite, Hera, Poseidon, they all fell to him until two gods overpowered him. Hades, the overseer of the underworld, and Thanatos, the god of Death. Thanatos had fallen to his power, but was resurrected by Hades as a Lich. With his new skeletal form and soul-ripping scythe he was given the new name of 'Grim Reaper' and shredded Odysseus' body until only a soul was left, then his soul was consumed by Hades' fire and he was banished to a deeper level of Tartarus, the fiery demon realm known as Hell where he would burn for all of eternity." Sonata looked back up at me, sadness and dread on her face. "The gods that were sent to Equiss immediately died upon arrival, they were bound to Earth and as a result could not sustain their own immortality, they aged rapidly and turned to dust as father time finally caught up with them. After that dreaded event, Hades and the Grim Reaper took the throne and they created a new realm known as Heaven, where the fallen gods rule over all the good-hearted spirits sent there after death. Afterwards, Hades revoked all magical ability from the remaining humans so the same event would not happen again and went back to the underworld where he would oversee the human race."
Sonata finished her story, I was shocked at the new information that I was told. "I... I don't know what to say..."
"I'm not done, me and my sisters are decendents of those sirens, and they made it their duty to find a spell to transport us back to earth, in time, they found a portal spell that could send us there." She poked me with a finger. "And you are one of the few of your kind that are immune to our song, which is somewhat unusual, but not the first occurrence."
"But why? Why am I immune?"
"Simple, it's because of your Zodiac Sign." She looked up with a sly grin. "You were born on the sixth of April, nineteen-ninety-eight. Your sign is Aries, the ram, and your element is fire. Aries care greatly for their friends and will not only fight, but more than likely break anyone who messes with their friends or loved ones. Your passion burns like a wildfire and your willpower is as thick as your stubbornness, and though you may be as thick as steel on the outside, your heart is very frail. Your loyalty and protective nature makes you a force to be reckoned with and your blazing passion is probably what attracted Adagio to you, Aries are rumored to be the best kissers out of the other signs and she loves a man who can kiss. The point of all this is that the Aries-born are a bit more difficult to influence, as their blazing willpower nullifies our magical influence. Your not the first to be immune, so we know an Aries-born when we see it."
"But how are you sure of all this?"
"Well, when you drove me to the school I could sense the fire in your heart as you drove at such high speeds, I was suspicious but I couldn't confirm anything. Then Aria told me something from before she broke my heart, how you overpowered her and escaped her wrath, I was still suspicious but only more so. But I confirmed it when you comforted me after Aria said those mean insults, your affections weren't a facade to attract me, they were genuine with deep concern about my well being. I could feel the burning in your heart when you hugged me, it ignited my passion and gave me hope, it empowered me to smile and forgive Aria... At that moment I knew you were born under the sign of Aries, and I looked at your birth date on the school computer to further prove this. Your fiery temperament showed when you rode your bike with such spirit, your willpower to fight until the bitter end showed when you fought against Aria, and your passion and loyalty showed when you earned my friendship. There's no questioning it, your of Aries blood."
"I see... But why are you taking over the school?"
"Revenge... we wanted revenge for being banished from our home, so when we came up with a sure fire way to get back, this place just happened to be one of our targets. But you've changed me, I no longer want to go through with this, not if it hurts my only friend..."
"Aw, how sweet." I turned and saw Adagio, leaning against the wall with a smirk. "Sonata betrays her only family for the love of a friend, it's almost enough to make me cry..."
"It's over, Adagio! I have your necklace, your powerless and there's nothing you can do!"
"Oh, relax, boy. I'm done with this whole 'Avenge our Ancestors!' thing and I honestly couldn't care less, besides, this place isn't that bad. The Equestrians aren't here to judge us, our elders aren't here to make us do their dirty work... And of course my precious little Anny is here.~" She said in a suggestive tone.
"B-but... Why were you trying to force me to have sex with you!?"
"It's simple, I just love teasing you. Your frightened face is so adorable, and nothing turns me on more than when a man refuses to have me.~" I gave her an awkward stare as she wiggled her eyebrows.
"Okay... Disturbing but good to know. But in the beginning you wanted to take the school, didn't you?"
"Well Anon, the key word here is 'wanted'. I couldn't have cared less about your world, but our spiteful elders wanted us to do it for them. I blindly agreed because I had nothing better to do with my time, and here we are." She explained.
"Well, what about Aria? Does she want to take the school for herself?"
Adagio shrugged. "Not really, she was just following orders and could care less about what happens to the school, but she does want to kick your ass."
Okay, I officially saved the school from being ruled by three chicks from another dimension, but one of them still wants to kick my teeth in... I'd call that a victory but a very slim one. "Am I gonna make it?"
"Probably, if your lucky she'll just beat you into submission, but you pissed her off pretty damn good so don't expect a miracle." Adagio said with concern.
"Don't worry, Anon, she hasn't killed anyone yet so you'll live." Sonata said while rubbing my back.
"Is it normal for Aries-born people to be really scared at this?"
"Yeah, Aries-born are naturally afraid of physical and mental pain." Sonata informed, that didn't raise my hopes but at least I now know why I hated doctors.
"There you are!"
"Oh shit!" As soon as I saw Aria I took off like a race dog, down the halls and around the corner. When I looked back I saw her gaining on me, causing me to kick it into overdrive.
"Get back here!"
"Dammit, why won't you just give up!?" I turned another corner and... "Oh no, not now!" It was a dead end, no where to run and no where to hide.
"I've got you now, you little pest." I jumped out of surprise and fell on my back, I turned my head and fully regretted doing so. There stood Aria, with the familiar stoic face that showed no intent of anger, but somehow screamed death. She stood over me with her expressionless leer, paralyzing me from pure intimidation and pressure. "You've humiliated me... Hurt me... Insulted me... And what do you have to show for it?" Each step she took to get near me I shuffled back, until I hit the wall. "You have only one thing to show from this, and it's the fact that you are the only person who's ever been this persistent... and that makes me angry." She reached down and grabbed my shirt collar, lifted me up, and pinned me against the wall. "Very angry..." Her face was mere inches from my own, it felt like her eyes were burning through me and glaring at my very soul. "Now... I'm gonna get what I deserve." I didn't know what happened, I felt a spark ignite inside me and a fire burned in my chest. I felt angry, really angry, and I realized that this must have been the power that Sonata was talking about, Aries was giving me strength! With my newly aquired false-courage I threw a punch with all my strength and socked her in the nose, the impact knocked her head sideways but my hope diminished when she was still standing. She slowly turned her head back to me and wiped the blood off of her face, licking is off of her fingers.
(Oh shit, why did I do that!?) She grabbed the back of my head and-
"Mmh!?" She shoved my face into her own, locking lips with me in a primal, sloppy kiss. I was so confused by this that I didn't fight back, I was wondering if this was just a hallucination to escape the pummeling she was probably giving me, but when I pinched myself I didn't wake up. She invaded my mouth and started licking all around the inside, gripping the back of my head tighter and forcing my head further into hers, deepening the kiss. After another moment of my mouth being raped she let go of me and glared at me.
"I hate you so fucking much you waste of semen." She gave me one more sloppy kiss and threw me into the wall, kicked my stomach, and ran off. When I looked up after recovering from the pain I say Sonata and Adagio poking their heads from the corner of the wall, Sonata with a surprised look and Adagio with her jaw hanging from the display.
"What the hell was that!?" Adagio questioned, I just sat there in complete disbelief.
"I have no idea." I heard the bell ring and looked at the time on my watch. "Three o' five!? That's the end of school!"
"Oh yeah, I forgot that Adagio stopped the bells so you would think that class hasn't started, makes it easier to find you." Sonata said.
"So I accidentally skipped all my afternoon classes?"
"Yep! But I have no idea where you were for the past three hours after we lost you." Sonata said, I realizes that I had slept in that bathroom way longer than I thought, but I didn't tell them that.
"Well I... I guess I should get ready to leave?"
"Not so fast!" A new girl appeared, she had straight, purple hair with a magenta streak and purple skin, she also had a tiara with a purple gem in the shape of a star-like symbol.. "So your the sirens that invaded Canterlot High? Well, my trip from Equiss may have been delayed but I am here to stop you from taking over the school!"
"Um, sorry to say miss...?"
"Twilight Sparkle." She finished.
"Ah, thank you, Twilight Sparkle, but I think I stopped them already." I said, she gave me a strange look.
"You... Stopped the sirens?"
"Yes, Anon has already destroyed the pendants to our power, I'm afraid your literally too late to stop us." Adagio lied, Twilight stood there with a baffled look.
"Wait, Anon!? The human that was transported to our planet a month ago!?"
"Human? you mean my father wasn't crazy!?"
"Oh, so your Anon's son! Well... I guess I'll be leaving if everything's okay here... Oh, and tell your father I said hi!" She left the school, I was now even more confused than before.
"That was the Princess of Magic from Equiss, Twilight Sparkle. Quite the bookworm, from what I've heard." Adagio said to me.
"So she just left three sirens here, not even sure if I actually destroyed your pendents, and expected everything to just go back to normal!? Unbelievable, how can she be so irresponsible!?"
"Anon, calm down, it's not like we can do anything bad, you have the pendents. Not counting Aria's, but she will probably give it to you or destroy it. They're not really the keys to our powers, they just amplify them." Adagio explained, I sighed and took it from a ten to a two.
"Your... Your right Adagio, if i keep acting like a loon than I'll turn into my dad." I joked, I got up and went to my locker to get my things. "So, we're cool then?"
"Hm... Yeah, we're cool." Adagio and Sonata left to get their things, Aria went to me and grabbed my shirt collar.
"Your mine, and mine alone. Understand?" I vigorously nodded in fear. "Good." She kissed me yet again with reckless abandon, some of the guys leaving started doing dog calls but Aria's stare silenced them. "He's mine, and you would do well to remember that..." She left after giving the guys a little scare, they left immediately. Sonata had retrieved my bag for me and have it to me.
"C'mon, slowpoke, let's go!"
I didn't say anything, I just followed her outside to the parking lot. "Note to self, install locks on bedroom door and windows."
