Adagio Dazzle destroys Sunset Shimmer
The backstage pass paid off and got me halfway there. The lack of a VIP pass, however, meant that I would have to sneak the remainder of the way.
My goal was in sight. I heard the Dazzlings leaving their tour van, a perfect opportunity for me to break in and find some clues about how they were able to manipulate the timeline. I just wanted my endless groundhog day to end.
As I pressed on, another branch whipped me. Unlike the dozen before it, this one had thorns, making a cut across my pantyhose. “Ugh, can’t anything go right today?”
I was actually planning to bring Pinkie Pie along, but after waking up, I couldn’t find my sturdy pants that would be perfect for all this sneaking through the shrubs. I had no choice but to default to my usual attire, but by that time, I couldn’t find my hyperactive friend anymore.
How did I even manage to lose my pants? They reset every day to the same place. I must have been operating on auto-pilot and managed to misplace them somehow, it was the only explanation.
If Pinkie Pie was around, she could have helped me with the mission by keeping watch for the Dazzlings while I searched their trailer for clues. Then again, even with Pinkie Pie around, she’d probably just get churros and leave me dry. Either way, I’d end up regretting putting my fate in Pinkie Pie’s hands.
The mission was still a go. Even if I was about to fail, I’d probably just reset to the same day right after the sunset and no harm would be done.
Slowly, I crept with my back on the trailer. I peeked around the corner. The coast was clear!
I dashed to the door, and to my surprise, it was unlocked. I was on the roll. The time-twirler was as good as mine.
A sound of a pan hitting the back of my head resonated through my ears. My vision narrowed, and so too did my distance to the floor.
“Wakey, wakey!”
A barrage of slaps at my face made me tense all my muscles, yet my limbs wouldn’t move.
“No sunset for you, Sunset. Not this time around, fortunately. I learned to hit you with a frying pan just hard enough.” Every syllable that the Dazzling spoke increased the ringing in my head. The slaps to my face didn’t help. Neither did a hard bulb under my head.
I stole a peek and saw Adagio Dazzle sitting on my lower torso. With one hand, she supported herself against my breast and the other hand was coming for another slap.
I shut my eyes and tensed all my muscles, but instead of a slap, I only felt a caress of her hand.
“We’re going to have so much fun today.” She giggled. “Well, at least I will.”
I opened my eyes again and looked at her straight in the eyes, “I can explain everything! It’s not what it looks like, I swear!”
“Is that so?” She grinned. “Because it looked like you were stuck in a time-loop and suspected us Dazzlings of making you repeat the same day over and over again which prompted you to attempt to search our tour bus for a time-twirler.”
“How? How did you know all that? I haven’t told that to anyone today!” I thought I was in trouble for trespassing, but what she said threw me for a spin. I looked up and saw that both my hands were tied to the bed with Addagio’s pentyhoses. When I looked down and passed Adagio’s fat ass, I saw that so too were my legs.
“What’s the matter, Sunset?” She reached with her hand under the bed. “Looking for your pants?” She threw them over my head, taking away my vision.
My heart skipped a bit. How was this happening? Every repeating day, I was in control. I was omniscient. But this day seemed to be manipulated from the start, and not by me, the only time-looper. She shouldn’t have even known I was at the Starswirl festival. “How? How do you know so much?”
“You have your methods, mindreader─”
The blood froze in my veins. My second greatest secret, and she knew it!
“─and I have mine.”
“I don’t understand!” I almost yelled. “How can you possibly know all this?”
“While you depend on your magical crystal for forced telepathy, I use a different item.” She reached under the pillow under my head and pulled out the hard item that was chaffing me. She slid the cold metal across my face, under my chin. Adagio whispered in my ear, “His name is Mr. Terror Strife. Why don’t the two of you get acquainted?”
And then I felt it. The sharp metal slowly, but surely, pressed ever deeper. The shape was unmistakable. It was a knife. “Time out! Time out!” I screamed while pushing my head back against the pillow. “Don’t do this! If your teammates come, they’ll never look at you the same again!”
“Oh, is that what you think?” She threw my pants off my head and then slid a knife against my cheek.
I instinctively moved my head in the opposite direction, toward the window. And then I saw potential salvation and doom at the same time.
“Hey, Sunset!” Aria Blaze said with a cellphone in her hands. Its camera was filming me. The red light from her device was a clear indication of that.
“How is your day cumming along, Sunset?” Sonata Dusk asked, also pointing her cellphone at me.
“He-he, cumming…” Adagio remarked. “We’re not there yet…” Her knife slipped across my brests ever so lightly. It traveled down my belly, menacingly.
“My friends…”
“Your friends won’t cum here,” Adagio said, making her knife spin on top of the belt of my skirt. “You can trust me on that.”
Her friends laughed with Aria adding, “It’s just us 3 and you, little Sunset.”
“Don’t forget my little friend.” Adagio slid it under my belt and started cutting.
“What the hell, Adagio!” I screamed while I pulled with all my limbs. Yet, it was to no avail.
She didn’t let herself be interrupted. “I’m doing this for you, mare. It’s pressing on your bladder and last time when I forgot to do this you peed yourself and stank up the place.”
“You called me a mare…” She couldn’t have possibly known my Equestrian origin. Only my friends knew! It was my biggest secret.
“I should have called you a foal, given how young you are in comparison to any of us.” My belt gave weight under the sharpness of the blade. She pulled it out and pressed it on my neck, making me tense my muscles to avoid choking. The tip of her knife pointed directly at my eye. “Is my little filly confused? How would you like to hear a story that will ease your disarray, my dear?”
“Yes, please,” I said in both resignation and trembling fear.
“It’s going to be a terrible story!” Sonata Dusk screamed enthusiastically.
“Terrifying…” Aria Blaze corrected her.
“Terrorfull!” Sonata Dusk corrected both of them. She proceeded to spin on my loins, making me gasp in pain as my tight clothes scratched against my skin. “Let’s say your right leg is the current timeline.” The tip of the knife ripped a hole in my pantyhose on my right calf, taking some of my skin along the cut.
“You need to stop this…” I tried freeing my hands again, but they were tied tight and I couldn’t break free.
“Before this timeline, there was a previous chronological instance. I’ll mark that one on your left leg.” Another cut through the fabric. This one deeper.
“Aaa!” I twirled all my limbs and screamed. “You cut me! You fucking cut me!”
“Relax,” Adagio waved a hand at me over her shoulder. “You’re not even bleeding all that much.” She scraped her knife up and down on the wound.
I would have screamed at that if my teeth weren’t clenched so hard.
She lifted up the knife toward the window.
Both Sonata Dusk and Aria Blaze took a lick at it, each from her side.
Adagio Dazzle brought the knife to her own mouth. “See, just a few drops…” She pressed her lips around the blade and then slid it away. “How’s that for instant makeup?”
Her accomplices laughed.
My limbs trembled. Breaths became shallow and fast. My heartbeat thumped in my chest faster than Pinkie Pie could hit on her drums. I felt as if my very mind was slipping away. I saw everything happening to me and around me, but I just couldn’t process it. Even attempting to understand what was happening to me felt inconceivable.
My whole body pulsed in waves, and I wasn’t even sure if it was me doing it.
“She likes it,” Sonata Dusk commented.
That… That wasn’t true! With my last semblance of rational thought, I objected, “I don’t like this! I don’t like any of this…”
“Where did I put my…” Adagio Dazzle looked around. “I’m running out of pantyhoses… Oh, there’s a pair!” She reached into a basket beside the bed.
“That’s dirty laundry, Adagio,” Aria sighed.
I darted with my eyes from one to another, clenching all my face. “If you don’t let me go right now, I’m going to scream so loud that…”
“There we go.” Adagio leaned on top of me and shoved her dirty pantyhose in my mouth.
I could smell the stench. I tasted the old, musty sweat. It prompted a gag reflex and then I felt my own puke choking my throat.
Adagio tightened the remainder of my belt around my mouth, leaving me choking and unable to scream.
My body shuffled so hard that Adagio lost her balance and fell off the bed.
The two at the window laughed.
My very being spasmed relentlessly. My limbs pulled so hard that I felt like I was about to dislocate a joint.
“Is that an orgasm or a panic attack?” Sonata asked.
“Both, maybe?” Aria commented.
“I’m okay in case anysiren wants to know…” Adagio sighed from the floor.
“I think you broke her,” Sonata continued.
“Nah, I’ve seen her take worse.” Adagio picked herself up. “Much worse…” She looked at my vibrating body.
I felt colder than ever before in my life, yet I was sweating profusely at the same time.
“Stop!” She ordered and plunged down the knife at me. It graced my cheek and ear then plunged into the bed to its hilt.
I tensed all my body, trying not to move. I didn’t even dare to look at her.
“That’s better.” Adagio booped my nose.
“You killed my bed!” Sonata protested.
“Don’t worry, it will reset” Adagio pulled out the knife, gracing my cheek again. “Everything always resets.”
I was still, excluding the tears rushing down my face, soaking in my hair and the bed.
Adagio stepped over me with one leg then kneeled on top of me, resting her tush on my stomach. She reached with a hand under my skirt and navigated right to my pussy, shoving two fingers in it all the way.
Any other time, I would have protested her breaching my intimate space, but in that frame, I simply didn’t have any more fight in me.
“I think you two were right,” Adagio commented while pushing her fingers in and out of my pussy. “She’s all wet down here. Then again, she might just be sweating like a pig.” With the tip of her knife, she played with my nipple and then turned to the window. “Get your asses in here. I think she’s ready for the next phase.”
I hoped to all that is decent that the next step would consist of letting me go. I didn’t care about anything else anymore. Just getting out. That’s all I cared about. That’s all I hoped for. Getting myself away from the van and the Dazzlings.
Both of them entered the van, took duct tape from a drawer then proceeded to tape their cellphones above the bed.
“I don’t get why you two are even still doing that.” Adagio sighed while playing with her knife on my sensitive skin. ” You should know by now that everything gets lost.”
“Everything but the magic we accumulate and the memories,” Aria added. “But it’s still quite a while before the end of the day. We’ve gotta entertain ourselves somehow until then.”
“I thought we’re just doing it because she hates it,” Sonata commented while taping her cellphone to the ceiling. “I didn’t even press the record button on mine.”
The other two both facepalmed.
I really did hate it at first when I thought they were recording a prank on me. But after what they did to me, I just hoped that some evidence would somehow make it to my friends, even though I had no idea how that could possibly happen.
“Get ready girls!” She placed the knife vertically over my left breast.
My eyes shot wide. They’ve already crossed all the limits. I couldn’t put anything past them anymore. They weren’t even humans. At that moment, I finally saw them for what they really were. Sirens.
All three placed one hand on the knife which slowly descended.
I shook my head left and right trying to sway them from whatever they were about to do.
They didn’t care and neither did the knife. It pierced my skin. “Nhh!” I could feel it right against my rib. At least it didn’t go deeper…
Adagio glanced at the other two then grinned at me. “Sunset, I bet you’re wondering right about now how you managed to find yourself in this precarious situation. You see, It had to be you. Your powers are the key. Without our crystals, which you broke, we can’t reach for the negative emotions just under the surface. Yet at the same time, we can’t go on without nourishment. We are sirens after all. Your power circumvents our human form limitations.”
“You are a conduit, Sunset,” Aria said.
“And so is your blood,” Sonata added
“And now we all are,” Adagio continued. “You’ll find out that your forceful telepathy can work both ways. With what you feel and what you used to feel set up in an ever-increasing recursion, we can finally reach for our nourishment, even with our crystals shattered.”
With that, all 3 placed their free hands on my head.
A flash of memories protruded into my mind. I finally understood. The ordeal I was in happened before. Many, many times before. They had interrogated me. Learned from me. Tortured me… Every next memory terrified me more. It was never about punishment. It wasn’t even about revenge against me for shattering their crystals. All I was to them was a source of information and nourishment, and I was about to be fed upon once more.
“Keep it up you two,” I heard Sonata say in a distance.
My mind was in utter turmoil, but reality persisted as well.
“Me and Mr. Terror have some more explaining to do down below.” She pulled out the knife and then spun around on top of me, chafing my skin again.
My mouth was gagged. But with my brain bathing in parallel, past, terrifying memories, I wasn’t sure if I even could scream if that weren’t the case.
“Where have we left off with our backstory?” Adagio asked me rhetorically. “Oh yeah, we are here now.” The knife cut on my thigh on my right leg, the blade piercing through my skin.
A jerk was all I could muster.
“But what you should really know about is here, in the previous timeline.” Another cut on my left thigh.
My muscle tensed.
She tapped with the knife on the wound. “Here’s where you informed us about the time manipulation. It’s ironic, that your untruthful accusation is what led you here” - She made another cut on my right calf - “where your accusation became a reality. But back to the origin.” Another cut on the left thigh. “We couldn’t gain any more magic, but we could still smell it; the Equestrian magic. You were speaking the truth. There was time-manipulation at hoof. And it had an origin. What you called a time-twirler.” She leaned forward and made a cut on my calf, both through my pantyhose and my skin. “But before that happened” - She made a cut on my left knee - “we tracked down the source of magic. An ancient artifact in the hands of two ignorant brats. There was a bit of a fight at the end” - She made several slashes on my left calf - “but it was 3 against two. We sent ourselves back and created a new timeline.” She stabbed at my right thigh repeatedly. “In this chronological instance, you reset, along with everyone else.”
At that point, I couldn’t even make heads and tails of my body and mind anymore. Everything just merged. It was all a mess. I was a mess.
“Well, that’s about all we’ll get from her today.” Adagio cut the knots at my bindings on all four limbs.
I was finally free, but neither my mind nor my body obeyed me. I was just there, yet not really.
“But I’m still hungry!” Sonata Dusk interjected.
Adagio lifted me up by herself. It was as if she became more powerful from my ordeal. She carried me through the door with the other two singing behind her, “The days go round and round, round and round Gotta break away, find a great escape…”
Adagio carried me behind the van and dropped me on the grass between the bushes, right next to a trashcan. She ungagged me and threw the remains of my belt and her pantyhose in the trash. “Well, that’s it for me today,” She said to the other two. “I’m calling it a night. Gotta get up early this morning to steal her pants again.”
“Dibs on sitting on her face.” Sonata enthusiastically jumped up and down.
“I call shotgun,” Aria replied. “Shotgun beats dibs.”
“No, it doesn’t!” She protested.
“Both of you, shut up!” came from the van. “Learn to share already!" The lights in the van turned off. "Now let me sleep…”
