"Ring, ring, ring"
It was a day like any other, for the town of Canterlot but for anyone in this town they know that rarely anything interesting will happen. But even if something did happen, it didn't affect our protagonist very much.
The protagonist of this story was Adagio Dazzle, an ordinary girl from Canterlot High.
"Ring, ring, ring"
Adagio had been trying to get up very tired and it showed as she tried to reach for the alarm clock however it was difficult for him. "Seriously where is that alarm, right now. I just need to put on my glasses, but I always end up moving when I sleep."
"Adagio, honey. It's getting late for school and the bus. And Aria is waiting for you to walk her to her stop, plus I have to leave with Sonata for daycare in a little while so breakfast is already prepared."
"I understand, I'll manage as quickly Miss Glimmer." Starlight Glimmer is their landlady, and a mother figure to the Dazzle's sisters.
"Ow, ouch, yeow, yow, yow, agh! Again falling with the bed covers. Typical of you Adagio" Says Adagio with an awkward smile, who although she didn't look like it has had worse days.
Shortly after getting ready and tidying up her room, she goes downstairs for breakfast. Aria was eating eggs with pancakes and orange juice, while Miss Starlight was helping to feed baby Sonata. Adagio came downstairs with speed to eat a sandwich and some of the same juice, and prepare her lunch for school. For although they had been greeted by good people in their time of need, she concentrated not only on studying but on working.
"Adagio, are you done yet? Don't forget that you and Aria will soon have exams so I hope you'll be on time in the next few days."
"Don't worry Mrs. Glimmer, thanks to my big sister the tests will be nothing."
"Aria, just because I'm a good student doesn't mean I always get good grades. Besides you almost failed if it wasn't for me helping you with the last subject."
As she was talking, Adagio already with his lunch ready to leave for school, an antique gold pocket watch, with a cover of a unicorn and a pegasus. It began to chime like a simple alarm inside his sweater pocket loudly.
"Aria we have to be on time, otherwise we'll miss the buses!
"I'm coming!"
Both sisters started running with their backpacks, and their lunches. As they both left, Sonata screams with happiness and Starlight cuts them both apart.
"Have a nice day."
Both sisters had rushed off, so they had barely reached the bus stop. They said their goodbyes and got on their respective buses.
While Adagio was reviewing his notes, and his essays for the end of the semester, a blue-skinned, white-haired girl with violet eyes sits next to him. She was dressed in similar luck to Adagio, but she had a moon with in the middle of her luck, she wore thick glasses and instead of wearing a ponytail she has long straight hair. The girl was Trixie Lulamoon, Adagio's close friend, co-worker and classmate.
"Adagio, I'm glad you've arrived. For a moment I thought you wouldn't be on time, after school you must come with me to buy the new Daring Do book. In this volume it says that..."
"Shhhhhhhh, don't give me spoilers Trixie... Even if I can't buy it, I'd like to find out when I read it. Plus we also have to get together to study for semester finals, especially since I haven't finished the last volume because Aria always wants me to tell her stories before bed. I like it a lot, because it's really the little time we spend together." Adagio comments with a tone somewhere between happiness and concern to her friend.
"I understand, she's a good kid. I remember when on her birthday I gave her a copy of the first movie, and since then she's been interested in archaeology and Mesoamerican cultures. If you want I can give her history lessons when I have free time."
"I'll think about it for a moment, after I see if I get a raise in "Taco Land" since I'd like to help my landlords more."
While they were talking, at the stop they were at was when the students on the bus stopped talking with encouragement when they saw a girl with dark pink hair, with light blue eyes and wearing a punk outfit, with a hairstyle: "Punk Hairstyles long hair" that covered half of her face and the girl's name was Pinkamena Diane Pie. The girl was one of the 7 most troubled girls not only in the school but also in the city.
"Adagio, put your head down and don't look directly into her face. You know what she would do with her lighter."
"Hum... Yes."
Both girls were afraid, because the girl was part not only of a criminal gang but of a musical band called 'The Sirens' Curse'.
The trip, was very quiet for most of the students as members of that band appeared... A pale yellow, light grayish skinned girl with a lighter pink hair with a long hairstyle with a ponytail made of dreadlocks, who dressed almost the same as Pinkie Pie but, she had a leather jacket with a pony skull on the back. The name of that girl was Fluttershy, it was said that she was not only a carnivore of many unlawful meats, except the human one. But because she was said to have a collection of skulls and skeletons of animals she had hunted herself.
A few blocks away from the school, Adagio decided to get off at the bus stop because although she didn't want to be late, she was very afraid of the two girls, since they rarely got on the bus And she was even more afraid because not only did she not want to lose her precious family watch, but because they have done a lot of damage to several students and fans of her tours. And the worst thing is that they went to jail, but no one knows how they never spent a day behind bars. But there was a worse fear than the members, because for her their greatest fear was their leader.
Looking at his gold watch, and seeing that he only had a few minutes left to arrive on time, she began to run with all his strength, but Adagio's legs were burning from the frantic race she had undertaken. Crying with fear and humiliation. With her heart pounding, she began to run down the busy sidewalk desperate to get to school before the doors closed.
When she least expected it, a girl on a motorcycle blocked his path. Adagio was startled and stumbled, falling to the ground. as the girl in a black full-face helmet with reddish and yellow flashes had just slammed on the brakes beside him. She was clutching the controls of a hulking custom Harley Davidson, pushing her foot out of the way to keep her balance. Adagio had a lot on his mind, but when she saw the girl, he saw that she had some of the band's 'The Sirens' Curse' prints on her jacket and her bike so she didn't know what to do, until the girl started talking to him sternly.
"Hey, four-eyes! Get up here if you don't want to be late!" Barked a female voice distorted by the roar of the engine.
"W-what? No! Leave me alone!" Adagio exclaimed, panicked with no idea what was going on, let alone with little time left to go.
"Shut up and get on or you'll be late! Let's go!" With a nimble movement, the mysterious biker caught Adagio by the wrist and with a jerk lifted her off the ground. Adagio shrieked, kicking uselessly as she was dragged to the back of the seat.
"Let me go! Help!" - She screamed in desperation, but the sounds of traffic drowned out her pleas.
The girl in the helmet rudely adjusted it and started off without a second glance, provoking another shriek from Adagio. The tires screeched as they took the avenue in contravía, snaking at full speed between the stopped vehicles.
"Hold on tight or you'll fall, brainiac!" - The driver ordered him with a muffled scream.
Adagio had no choice but to wrap both arms around her waist, digging his nails in terror into her jacket. The traffic lights whizzed past in front of his eyes in a maelstrom. His body trembled, shaken by the sudden movements and braking executed by the reckless motorcyclist to avoid the cars.
On one occasion, the girl did a 180-degree horizontal skid that elicited an agonized scream from Adagio, then accelerated in reverse for a couple of hundred meters before turning back onto the sidewalk and resuming her speedy march.
Adagio had to close his eyes tightly to avoid vomiting from the nausea caused by so many twists and turns. Tears ran down his cheeks due to the irrational fear of dying in that vehicle.
Finally, they spotted the gates of the high school as they rounded a corner. The motorcyclist made one last maneuver up and down the sidewalk, passing several cars stuck at the light. She screeched to a halt in front of the entrance seconds before they closed.
"Hurry up and get down, you good-for-nothing! Get the hell out of here!"
Adagio finally stepped through the doors just before they closed, still reeling from the shocking experience on the motorcycle. His heart hammered loudly as his legs trembled. He dusted off his sweater and adjusted his crooked glasses, moving forward down the deserted hallway.
Outside, the mysterious biker finally removed her full-face helmet once the bespectacled girl disappeared inside the building. A cascade of fiery fiery red hair fell over her shoulders. It was none other than Sunset Shimmer, sketching a malevolent smile that revealed small but sharp fangs peeking between her lips. She ran her tongue teasingly over her pointed teeth. Tribal tattoos of gills or gills, much like the ones she had when she had in Equestria, were displayed on her neck.
Sunset parked his powerful Harley Davidson alongside as a huge black Ford Econoline pickup truck with tinted windows pulled up beside him with screeching tires. On the sides was a logo of the iconic band "The Sirens' Curse."
The rear doors of the van burst open and four imposing female figures descended, enveloped in a cloud of grass smoke as they staggered a little from being awake all night. They were the remaining members of 'The Sirens' Curse'. Twilight Sparkle a careless and lazy girl who uses her intelligence to cheat, sabotage others and take advantage of form, Rainbow Dash an arrogant and cheating bully who has no problem cheating to win and humiliate her opponents, as well as taking advantage of her romantic partners to win anything she wants, Rarity a careless, selfish and materialistic girl who steals and cheats to gain riches and Applejack a pathological liar who tricks anyone into believing her lies.
Twilight wore dark, smoky makeup that accentuated her piercing gaze. She wore a tight black leather jacket and a short skirt with buckles and punk insignia. Her base hair was purple, tousled in bright pink locks with electric blue partings.
Rainbow Dash, all tough girl, showed off her toned figure in a black tank top revealing her muscular arms covered in tribal tattoos. Ripped denim pants and heavy military boots complemented her attire. Her dyed hair with neon-colored highlights and mirrored glasses gave her a bad-girl touch.
Ever the glamorous one, Rarity now appeared in a decadent look far removed from her usual sensibility. She wore a complicated outfit full of piercings, studs and dangling chains over ripped tights. Her makeup was exaggeratedly heavy and her once straight hair now sported a steamy, unruly mane of dark purplish color.
Lastly Applejack, normally the most humble and unassuming, appeared dressed like a tough street gang girl with a baseball cap turned upside down, dark glasses and a military vest full of bags and patches. She chewed incessantly on a wooden chopstick with a defiant gesture.
The four girls let out shrill exclamations and gathered around Sunset, bumping fists in greeting and giggling rudely. The leader of the group, with a mischievous gleam in her hypnotic red eyes, stepped forward taking a big puff of smoke and then exhaling unceremoniously to the front.
"All right girls! It's time to show that silly school who's boss around here! You hear me? We're going to have the best concert of our careers!" vociferated Sunset in a loud, seductive voice.
When she said that, the other two who were missing arrived and heard everything, so they understood what was going to happen.
Adagio doesn't know what happened, but when she heard an evil laugh from the parking lot she decided to ignore it and go to her locker before getting into trouble with the students. Since there were only a few minutes left until exams, she decided to put some of her homework in her locker and save some notes for future exams.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Later in the afternoon, around noon, it was 30 minutes before the end of the math test that was worth the majority of the final grade in the subject and all the students were trying to concentrate on the test. Adagio and Trixie were the only ones who were relatively relaxed since as exemplary students, besides being very applied for all subjects except athletic subjects. They were just finishing confirming answers and avoiding someone copying their answers.
Since most of the students in this school and sector have a very low IQ percentage, almost no one expected anything from these exams. There was a time when this school was good, until Sunset Shimmer came and ruined everything with her band and her charisma. At the beginning she was seen as the typical rocker and annoying girl but; little by little she was not only gaining power among the students, but with the teachers, the people of the area and above all with the media while every day she captivated everyone with her voice with the age of technology it was much easier for her to gather young people, classmates and sponsors so it gave her power in many ways. And worst of all, she had control over many adults with power, including teachers, principals and some minor politicians with the power to affect the school.
Sunset was someone that many people were very scared of in many ways, but when she was in school she had to act like a relatively normal student to avoid problems with her opponents and to avoid a big fight, because she had to be guarding the gate because she arrived. Since this week she was going to do her biggest concert, and if something went wrong with the concert she could get out of control her anger and power that she has kept saved for Friday night, so it is the night that she would get the amount of fans, power and the ability to return to Equestria.
Sunset had accomplished almost everything, in just a few years. But right now she was just asleep in math class, right now as she was dreaming she remembered how it was that she came to this place.
Sunset was the last of the mermaid race, she had been causing chaos when Canterlot was still being formed... Although she was a small mermaid, she was as powerful as an adult because the pillars were about to banish her to another place, when Celestia defended her. Which surprised her masters, because seeing how a monarch defended a monster, even though she was a child, she could destroy Equestria... Celestia was determined to prove that even the worst child could be guided and educated.
During that time, Sunset though hungry for malevolent feelings, Celestia's love made her suppress those desires of wanting chaos with her singing. Celestia even taught her to sing without needing her magic, she was teaching her basic magic because although she was a magical being she was not a unicorn so they were different methods and ways of using it but they made it work in a way. While Sunset was at night in the library, she was cheerful because her birthday was a day away so she was looking forward to spending the day with Celestia, but as she was passing by the throne room she saw her fighting with the pillars, her attendants and other servants who were against Sunset's existence. Sunset didn't know what they were talking about, until Celestia shouted a prayer that destroyed the little Mermaid's heart.
"A great monster." But unfortunately she didn't hear what Celestia really meant.
"Sunset will never become a big monster!"
Sunset ran, as she knew that everyone saw her as an evil being but; hearing that she decided to leave the place, so she decided to take the books about magic to create a revenge against her former mentor, until she saw a mirror that she had not seen before in the library. It said there, "Do not touch. delicate."
But there was another note from Celestia... "Move to the underground."
She didn't know why but a very primal hunger was coming out of her and she wanted to fill it with great desperation, and her gem was related to the emotions coming out of the mirror. Then Sunset remembered that feeling and taste of despair, of anger, of chaos. Sunset then smiled mischievously, then thought that if she could eat all those emotions, maybe she would be as strong as Celestia and make her pay. And the moment she entered, Celestia saw her student enter while screaming but Sunset only thought it was her imagination and the scream was of Anger.
When she arrived in the human world, although her magic was weak and she was not used to it the first few days, thanks to the fact that she was still a beauty, her ability to act and sing made her easily open doors to many things... A home, a name, a reputation, among other things so she was slowly gaining a lot of power in the city of Canterlot. But; while she was in that world she encountered something she would never have experienced in her Siren form and that experience was bullying but; not just any bullying....
But some crazy fans for them, as these humans not only wanted her attention but also her love as a woman and among them there were both young and old, women and men but; luckily she was able to defend herself several times for a few days. Until one night when she was coming back from a solo recording, and she was returning alone to her apartment when a group of crazy fans grabbed her by surprise to take her to a small dark alley.
A bald guy with several scars snaking across his shaved skull spat a gargle on the ground near Sunset's feet in a defiant manner. The man could tell he had a mania for being depraved.
"Hey gorgeous, shouldn't you be home at this hour?" he scoffed in a hoarse, gravelly voice, as his friends, chuckled "The streets are no place for dainties like you."
Although she had learned to fight against a few, she was not prepared for a group of 10 more people when her mouth was covered with a blindfold to prevent her from singing or screaming, it was then that for the first time Sunset felt fear in her life. Sunset clenched her fists helplessly, swallowing saliva to contain the irrational fear that was invading her. For she was trapped on all sides, but it was then that something happened that she didn't expect.
Tears of humiliation and terror welled in Sunset's eyes as the guy leaned over her, pinning her down with his weight as he held her by the wrists against the wall. His face inched closer and closer to the girl's, his stale breath of cigarettes and cheap alcohol marring her nostrils.
She was totally trapped, helpless and about to be raped by these criminals without the slightest shred of humanity. Her body shuddered convulsing from head to toe thinking of the horror and trauma imminently ahead.
Suddenly, a shrill sound at full volume resounded in the alley, a high-pitched, screeching, high-frequency screech that made them cringe and writhe from the unbearable pain in their ears. A shrill alarm that drilled the eardrums without mercy or respite.
"Nee naw, wee-woo, waow-waow."
"The police"
"Let's get out of here!"
"Another day"
Sunset although she was in fear, it was when she saw a weak and nerdy girl approached her.
The criminals howled like wounded animals, covering their ears with their hands in a futile attempt to silence that piercing sonic drill. With crude and instinctive movements, they got to their feet and ran out of the alley in panic, shrieking away from the little girl who had chased them away with her peculiar anti-violator gadget on her phone.
"Are you all right? Don't worry, the police are on their way. From what I used it was just an app on my cell phone." She asked him in a sweet, shy little voice.
"I'm fine... I'm just..."
Sunset lay on the floor, shaken in a mixture of fear, relief, humiliation and shock. The convulsions of crying shook her to her marrow as she hugged her knees, cowering in a fetal position with her eyes closed. Her mind was a whirlwind of intersecting emotions that she could not process.
"Adagio! Don't run off like that, they might do you some harm. Good thing nothing bad happened.
"Bua, bua, Buaaaa!" Sonata was starting to cry about being woken up because Miss Starlight Glimmer was running to catch up with Adagio.
"I'm sorry Mrs. Glimmer, I'm sorry Sonata. I couldn't let them hurt the girl. Hey are you okay?" seeing that the black leather clad girl was gone... Adagio decided it was better that way, since the girl being okay was enough for her. Adagio seeing that the girl was gone, decided to leave with her landlady.
Sunset was confused, for even though she had been saved by that girl, when he saw her in that light he didn't know why but; something told him she was special. Not only was her heart pounding, for the fear was gone and had been exchanged for a need to hide from that girl. Not even when she was in Equestria had he felt such feelings, everything really was new, the assault, the attack, the being saved. For it really was all new, in many ways.
Sunset after that, not only decided to form a group to protect her during the day so she decided to create a music band not only to gain power but to have a shield during the day, and at night she will only drive a motorcycle with a black helmet to go unnoticed. Sunset with all these things, also began to develop an intelligence group to have more control in the city, with their fans, their possible enemies and especially to find that girl.
That's how she took partial control of everything within a 15Km radius of Canterlot High School, and also got information on the girl who had saved his life. Her name was Adagio Dazzle, a student at Canterlot High, a girl with 2 younger sisters, she works in 2 restaurants, she also worked with her landlady at charity events, and also at the daycare where her landlady worked and her younger sister spends the day. Every so often Sunset would follow Adagio when she wasn't recording, at a concert or anything else.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
After all that, the alarm sounded for the end of the test. Sunset wakes up to see that she was just asleep, and did nothing on the test so she was the last one to turn in to Mr. Cranky.
"Miss Shimmer, again you failed your test. Already with this one you've ended up with the worst grades in this school and that's saying a lot, with how far you've fallen in this place."
"Mr. Cranky, we'll talk later, I have things to do."
"Not so fast, we're going to have to..."
"I said we'll talk later, and without so much you want a good test do it yourself!" Sunset yells at Cranky to give her the test and give her a good grade.
Sunset sleepily walked out of the class to pass through the school corridors, so she started to head to the school Cafeteria. But seeing Adagio walking she hides in a corner, whenever she is at school she tries not to show her feeling for Adagio, since in her she had seen the best of humanity unlike the selfish mermaids or the ponies of Equestria because of how she had treated her since she was a little girl.
Sunset was blushing because when taking her in the morning on her motorcycle, she hadn't noticed until she was already in the first class which was that she was hugged by the girl she was interested in so she blushed for a while and hid under a book to avoid being seen blushing, plus she always wanted to talk to her but; unfortunately every time she tried to get close to her so she could try to talk to her, it was impossible for Sunset. Because if it wasn't an outside source like a fan or a job or a phone call, it was Adagio's nerdy friend or one of her bandmates. And when she finally spoke to the girl he liked she yelled at him: And he forced her onto his motorcycle so that Adagio could hug her tightly.
Sunset was breathing and trying to relax so she could head over to Adagio's locker and start talking. But she doesn't know what to talk about and didn't want to tell him personal things she's seen and think she's a stalker. As she was finally about to leave her corner, Sunset bumped into a person.
"I'm sorry, I wasn't watching. Are you...?"
"Sunset Shimmer..."
Sunset didn't expect someone to speak to her with such a cold tone, especially when she had accidentally bumped into someone a moment ago so she wanted to see who it was. But when she saw who she had bumped into, it was Adagio's friend.
"You are...?" Sunset replies ignorantly as she had never seen her before.
"Trixie Lulamoon, Adagio's best friend. I know who you are Sunset Shimmer, you're my best friend's stalker!"
Sunset was shocked, as she thought she had been very dedicated. Since she never used the same roads to school or from school to another part of town, she always used many different transports to avoid what happened when she met Adagio.
"I know who you are, and Adagio may be ignorant as that girl is very clueless. But I have seen you following her, I may not have a lot of money but I am a genius and I have created a drone that flies very well with used parts. I know you have been following her, while I was testing the camera on my drone I saw you following her from school to her work, to her apartment, to her sisters schools among other things. I have the pictures on hand here."
Trixie took the photos to show Sunset that she really did have the evidence, but Sunset gasped as she hadn't thought about drones. More because with the control she had gotten around so she didn't think anyone would get one, let alone manufacture one. She really didn't want her beloved to think she was that kind of girl, so this was a hard blow to her persona in many ways. More so because of the press and media.
"Sunset, if you don't leave I will show them. I have refrained but tonight is your concert and it is very big plus because it is also the night of the fall dance that is done every year or did until you came but; Principal Shadow and Principal Luna are putting a lot of effort to make everything go well for both schools. Imagine this being shown all over the media globally, since they are going to be all over your stupid concert and even if you take this away from me, my partner has the backing and she is someone who has the order that if I don't call her by a certain time today, she will publish it."
Defeated, she falls to the ground seeing how she is being threatened. Even if she hypnotizes her and asks her to give him all the information, she doesn't know if her partner is around or if she has a contingency plan. If she has those photos, she should have more up her sleeve to be able to be here head on so with a defeated look on her face she walks away from the road towards the opposite direction.
"I thought I would fight more, I actually have the files but if I did I know you would do worse things to me than Sunset."
Trixie started to speak to the door she was standing in, when something started to make noise from inside the room so when she finished that, a girl with dark makeup as well as having the logo of the band 'The Sirens' Curse'. She was Twilight the showgirl, who was leaving the room.
"You know if you had done even something minuscule to Sunset you wouldn't make it out alive." Twilight says with a murderous thirst coming out of her towards Trixie.
"You're lucky I didn't tell her you were stalking her too, although mine really was just an honest mistake. Since I was really just testing my drone for future projects." Twilight walks up to Trixie's face with an angry look on her face, so she speaks softly.
"Here ends our agreement, you stay with Adagio and I will comfort Sunset already tonight she will be the most powerful person in the world. So I hope we never see each other again, Trixie Lulamoon."
"Said the same thing Twilight Sparkle."
From an outside perspective, it almost looked like they were going to kiss as if trying to express their love but; no one expected Adagio to return to his locker.
"I should confirm that I didn't miss the cover for the science project, I just hope it didn't get..." Adagio was surprised to see 2 girls so close physically, and one of them was her best friend, she wanted to say a lot of things though... She stepped away to think for a moment.
"I didn't think she would have a girlfriend, or at least a partner and especially with one of the 'Siren'. I should really support her, she should be more open, I don't have a problem with that though... I really didn't expect her tastes to be so... Bold. I'd better leave it at that, I'll see the cover of the project later as it's still a month away. I hope she'll be happy." Adagio went back to the cafeteria, but she was leaving half-happy for his friend.
Meanwhile in another place inside the school, Sunset was in a bathroom looking at herself as she was trying to think what was going to happen but; she starts to hear a clock.
"Knock knock"
"Not again because they always show up when they want something!" The world begins to spin around her, and Sunset is sucked into a swirl of numbers to end up in a white place. When she reached the place, Sunset began to see her Equestria Mermaid version.
She was large and powerful, compared to her human form, which was only 1.87 meters tall. She spun in the white space as if she were a sea. While on the other hand, there was another Sunset Shimmer wearing a black leather vest over a short sleeved orange shirt, but unlike the one the current Sunset Shimmer was wearing that was not only torn or soot stained but otherwise looked almost the same except that the other Sunset had turquoise eyes compared to the red eyes she has and her Mermaid version.
"Again you 2, why are you showing up lately? I really don't understand what you want from me" The evil version asks her counterparts, so the first to speak would be the mermaid coming down to stand close to them.
"You were supposed to be me, you have my memories my power but; since you were attacked by that human my mind fragmented. Since you started to feel humanity, that affected me a lot because I no longer control my body completely so when you take control of our body and we are not using our hypnotic power I lose my ability to regain power. All that power you are storing in our necklace instead of causing more chaos to absorb into your body. Every time I try to tell you to use it... I see you refusing and you've had trouble controlling the humans that make up the gang, plus when you're around that human girl..." Angry and fuming.
"Do you want to ruin everything we've been doing!" The maritime Sunset looked less like a mermaid and looked more like a dragon about to eat her prey, she wasn't afraid of her inner evil because she has the same courage.
"That doesn't matter!" The other person in the room began to speak.
"Sunset you have to listen to me, this world is not real. And while I can truly understand your feelings, your complications and I understand not being able to be open with her about your desires but; you have to listen to me..."
When she finished speaking, she started to feel pain in her body so she kneels down from the pain and to lose her materialized form, she looked more like a specter than a person.
"Sunset listen to me, we are living in an altered world and time... I can prove it to you because after affair with the *Time Twirler* at the Starswirled Music Festival, I wanted to see if I could find some way so that in case in the future a human found another object that controls time I decided and could not remember anything, I decided to spell my geode so that it would keep a copy of my being here. But unfortunately this object was much more powerful than I thought, so I came to the conclusion that the object is the *Horologi Aeternum* the full version of the *Time Twirler* as this was only an inferior version of the real clock that Star Swirl the Bearded, because the *Horologi Aeternum* was too powerful for any mortal being so I send it to get lost in time itself. But I think with what happened with the *Friendship Games* it may have affected his seal on the end times, so she must have come up with Adagio, ow, ouch!"
Sunset was groaning in pain on the floor again and it seemed harder for her to maintain her existence.
"Listen to me, you need to return the world to its real state and get back to our real selves. Tell me, hasn't it struck you as odd that you haven't received any information from Princess Twilight? Our diary has been lost, so this world has not affected Equestria but the portal to beech on this side. It means that only tonight we will have to connect with Equestria and it is possible that the princess will come to see what happened but we can't let it happen." Then the siren descended towards the 2 Sunsets.
"That's why I need this concert to be, that's exactly why while you've been here in our mind, already the preparations are about to end so the concert is already about to end so I'm full of power to invade Equestria."
The mermaid had grown and transformed into a combination of dragon, mermaid and demon. The original Sunset was about to disappear, only to leave on the ground an orange colored geode which is the same as the mermaid with blood red color but; unlike the mermaid this one had a small yellow color.
"Sunset, I know you are afraid of me, or at least our real me coming back but; I understand you well. Because I too fell in love with me of my own Adagio for I looked for her for a long time however... I could never find her, so when we finished our college I decided that we could increase our musical reach, since we only played during college to pay for tuition and we were even offered multi-million dollar contracts to drop out of college to become stars but; everything we decided to wait. Listen to me, I know you love Adagio and you have been very shy with your feelings."
The remains of the copy of the original began to fade faster and faster.
"Sunset, you have to tell him the truth. It's been months because you've spent months creating a wall before you so you must have the courage today, I don't know what's going to happen but I know you're going to be strong." With those words she disappears into the white world.
"Good thing she's gone, it's time for me to destroy Equestria!"
The monster version began to laugh with happiness because she finally has things in her favor. While her human part started to grip the geode tightly, and started to manifest a joyful magic so Sunset starts to sing a song. And the whole world changes to a medieval world in the human world so the mermaid pony disappears for a moment, and she notices an ocean next to a coast with a monastery.
"In the depths of the blue sea A mermaid lives with a faithful heart Her turquoise eyes glow with longing Captivated by an earthly nun."
As she sang that verse, a human mermaid comes out to climb on a rock to see the monastery where there was a nun working, praying, living together and helping people. The Mermaid was like Sunset and the nun she saw was Adagio."
The world changes to another scene in the same place, where the human Sirene remembers that while trying to flee not only from a storm and pirates, she arrives at the shores of the monastery injured, so she faints that night only to wake up to see a woman who was treating her wounds with care. When she wanted to say something, another nun told her to get away from such a monstrous being, so the mermaid ran away as fast as she could, while her wounds were stable.
"Mermaid in love, soul divided Between the waves and human life Wishing to get closer, but fear holds her back Losing herself, is it worth it?"
The mermaid who normally had fun with men and make them fight each other, something was born in her and that was to be human in order to get close to the first person who showed her affection since her life had only been mistreated by her peers and being hunted by mankind.
"Observe from afar her noble work. Caring for orphans with motherly love. Her angelic voice full of warmth Hypnotized siren, heavenly dream."
The mermaid had for months seen the nun work hard, as nearby orphans often went to the monastery not only to learn about her religion but also to learn the verses and songs. So Adagio's angelic voice made even the mermaid want to approach her as the angel they claim to be.
"Mermaid in love, soul divided Between the waves and human life Wishing to get closer, but fear holds her back Losing herself, is it worth it?"
It was then that one day from far away from the shore, another storm returned to drag the mermaid back to the ocean.
"The sea drags her, far from her love. Earthly life, a distant dream. But her song longs to be heard. By the one who captivates her heart."
While at the bottom of the dark ocean she began to sing.
"Undecided, the mermaid struggles. Between following her marine nature. Or giving up her immortal magic. To live by the side of her beloved nun."
"Mermaid in love, soul divided Between the waves and human life Wishing to get closer, but fear holds her back Losing herself, is it worth it?"
"His voice echoing in the immensity. Waiting for her beloved to hear her. And together they can discover. If love transcends reality."
When she finished singing the blank world returned to reality where there were already many people, Sunset was in the middle of a platform with her wings and pony ears with mermaid scales, also saw how all the spectators were shocked. From what she saw on a screen, she had sung the same song however... With the power she had kept to control those present, she had unconsciously materialized the song and the characters in the form of several projections. As far as they now knew what was happening, she also saw how the band members were trying to stop Twilight from attacking Adagio. Sunset wanted to go down to see Adagio but Trixie was pulling her away from her friend but; when she least expected it a glow in space began to appear throughout the concert so everyone was trying to escape.
Trixie pushing her friend from falling into one she falls into her place. Adagio didn't know what was going on, but it was when she began to hear the sound of her watch coming out of the holes that she began to see what was going on. Sunset, seeing the chaos, approaches Adagio to talk to her.
"Adagio listen to me, this might be hard but you have to give me the watch you have otherwise the world will be destroyed." Sunset was gripping her shoulders tightly so Adagio was still in shock.
"But... How can a family heirloom do this, how can it affect the world!" Adagio had a hard time understanding that the world was ending because of a clock. Then Sunset told him the truth about the clock.
"The watch is a magical object of my world, you saw that I am a Mermaid. And I don't expect you to believe me, but; you have to understand that this world was affected because you took it. I don't know what happened to you but as for the watch to make the changes you made unconsciously but you have to understand that this world is not real and will not be able to take it anymore."
Adagio wanted to believe in Sunset but for her, this world was real... As real as her sisters, her friend and the people who were at this concert... However, while she was trying to accept everything. She began to see a small rainbow colored light coming out of Sunset's geode and resonating with the *Horologi Aeternum* to show her its origin.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The darkness of night blanketed the ramshackle streets of the impoverished Hollow Shades neighborhood on the outskirts of Canterlot City. Adagio Dazzle, with her long dull orange hair and tattered clothes, walked crestfallen among the shadowy alleys dotted with pools of stagnant water and garbage. Her puffy, bloodshot eyes were evidence of endless hours of disconsolate weeping.
As she rounded the corner of the avenue, she caught a glimpse of the flickering reflection of an old television in the broken window of an abandoned auto repair shop. On the screen, there was an extensive report on the phenomenal worldwide success of Sunset Shimmer and her integrated by her Canterlot high school friends, Twilight and company, now multimillionaire pop music celebrities.
Images of her concerts, her travels and her actions to help places that have suffered from natural disasters. While she cruelly with the dilapidated environment of abandonment and decay that surrounded Adagio. She bit her lip angrily as she watched the beaming smiles on the faces of those former enemies as they posed on the red carpet of a movie premiere.
She cried not only for the successes of her enemies, but she cried for the separation and death of her sisters through the years. Aria had gone her way to be someone powerful again and Sonata decided to look for a way to have a normal life, while Adagio ordered them to stay with them but; they were already tired of obeying them because for her she had lost his magic and way to return to Equestria. Over time Adagio who was not only fleeing from the authorities, but some collectors she was slowly receiving news from her sisters but; one day while she was in the deserts of New Mexico in a place of ill-fated death. She heard that in nearby Canterlot there was some sort of monster attacking women in the area, but that it was suddenly wiped out by some sort of rainbow. He also heard that the last 2 victims were a mother with 2 purple and aquamarine stripes with a girl of about 3 years old while the other was driving with bright blue and dark blue hair with a ponytail, it seemed that the last one was a courier. Adagio upon hearing that looked for a way to confirm the victims and after several hours of being in the desert in a truck. They had to get off to fill the tank, so she took the opportunity to go to the store and watch the news confirming her worst fears. They were dead and there was nothing that could do anything for them. She then decided to run into the desert so she could cry and get lost in the desert.
Seized by a mixture of envy, bitterness, resentment and self-pity, she angrily kicked a middle leg and dropped defeated in the desert covered with stains of dubious provenance. Adagio wanted to scream, cry and most of all she wanted to have a chance with her sisters again. As she wept in the desert she spoke in pain:
"Why do they have everything while I have nothing?" she wailed between choked sobs, covering her face with dirt hands from years of hard street life.
At that instant, a faint but captivating glow coming from a cactus caught her attention... And that glow was a watch, but not a human one, but one with equestrian runes instead of numbers. Seeing that she couldn't stop laughing at finding something from Equestria in the middle of nowhere.
"Because right now I find this, really my luck is the worst... If only... If only I could go back in time, and be a good person, be a good sister and be someone who can provide for my sisters."
As she said that, and cried with difficulty the tears began to wet the clock and her magic began to work.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"It can't be," They both said that as they saw Adagio's past, or possible future in the original world. They both did not want to say or do anything but; the cries of the world brought them back to themselves.
"Noooooooo! Is that a lie!", Adagio remembering the previous world, started to scream desperately as she wanted to leave the place to see her younger sisters.
"Adagio, we don't know they are your sisters. It can be somebody, it can be anybody, so you have to believe that they were alive in the originality world. So even if I have to give up everything so you can believe in me, so you have to believe in me."
Adagio did not know what to do, as the world was about to be destroyed and even now there was only little space left that had not been swallowed up.
"Will you really look for me? Will your feelings remain? Do you think my original self will remind you? Your current self?" Adagio asked her fearfully, as she searched for something to reassure her.
"I'll do it, no matter what I'll do it."
Sunset began to grab the watch to see what she could do. Sunset, upon seeing it, understood that the watch understands that it can not be destroyed by any means but; she understands that there are possibilities that the world can not be restored so there is only one thing she can think of. And that is to run to the portal with the clock and with her magic she can avoid destroying the human world, since the portal of Equestria is a wormhole so if she can avoid that time affects both sides, Sunset jumps without hesitation.
"Sunset!", Adagio shouts to Sunset in fear that she will die before the world is destroyed but; seeing her enter the base of the school statue he could not understand what would happen.
As another white light started coming out of there and mowing everyone down.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
It was a normal day in the city of Canterlot and everything was as normal as possible.
Adagio was finishing work to join his sisters at home, but as she was about to leave a motorcycle pulled up to the Mexican food restaurant.
"Adagio!"
A girl wearing a black leather vest over a short-sleeved orange shirt with an alicorn printed on the back of the vest. She says hello to Adagio.
"Sunset!" Adagio waves to her partner, who is waiting to take her.
When she finished grooming she gets on his motorcycle, so they can leave together.
"Adagio, are you ready? I know your sisters are waiting for you..."
"No problem, Mrs. Glimmer has already arrived with them. We just need to go to my house, don't you have a meeting with *The Rainbooms* today?" asked Adagio, as he knew they were preparing for an event but; he didn't know what.
"Don't worry, we all wanted to but; everyone had things to do. Besides, I need your help.
"How can I help?" She asked confused.
"As long as you're there for me." Sunset says it with a joking tone, because she really wanted to spend time with his girlfriend.
Adagio smiling had many things on his mind but there was one thing he did want.
"I'm sure the other girls know you came at last. But I hope I'm not a distraction."
Sunset about to start his motorcycle smiles at his girlfriend who is holding his helmet.
"You may not remember it, but; when I needed it most you were there for me. And now it's my time for me to be there when you need it."
With that in mind, Sunset began to drive into an undecided future.
Author's Note
It took me a long time, the truth is that not as I wanted it to end but; I hope it's good because it has been costing me.
