The Beat
1. Feel The Power
Load Full StoryNext ChapterNight descended upon Ponyville. A thick fog was scheduled, and the Weather Pony Division delivered. Most of the ponies were not in town, but in Manehattan, on The Celestia Parade that was held in the big town. It was a big event, and the mayor organized the trip with the princess as the major contributor, both financially and logistically, providing food and a place for the whole village to stay in the hotels in the city. It was the least she could do, after Ponyville was ravaged by disasters of Discord, The Manticore and even a super-charged Trixie.
Only one house had lights, seemingly coming from a candle, and it was none other than the town library. Twilight Sparkle, the town librarian, and more importantly, The Element of Magic and Celestia’s favorite pupil, stayed home. The purple pony stayed behind, explaining that she needed to study on the subject of this parade first, and that she would catch up to the others then. After all, the real festivities were only to begin tomorrow, and Twilight could still make it, if she studied tonight. It seemed silly to the others, but none of her friends even attempted to persuade her to go with them in the morning. Nobody can stop Twilight when she wants to study, and the girls knew that.
“Now where is that chronological review of all the Parades dating to 1434. to…” the purple pony mumbled, as a sound pierced her eardrums. It sounded like music was being played, right next door.
“That is impossible! Everyone is gone to the parade! Unless, Vinyl Scratch!” she fumed. If this continues through the night, she would never finish her studies.
As Twilight left her house, and the bass intensified in both volume and quality of the sound, she remembered the night the white DJ moved in with her best friend, Octavia, right next door.
Twilight and Octavia got along almost instantly. Octavia was amazed at the knowledge about classical music The Element of Magic possessed, and that they shared the same taste in music. Her relationship with Vinyl took some time to blossom. She didn’ t understand her admiration for heavy bass, “drops” as the white pony called it, but she enjoyed her enthusiasm. She even had to admit, every once in a while, as Vinyl practiced each Sunday, a song would come up that Twilight enjoyed. That is why she recommended her to Princess Candace to be her DJ at the wedding.
But tonight, she need peace and quit. She hoped that if she reasoned with her new friend, she would get the silence she required. But, as she neared her home, the bass became louder and louder, deafening everything around her.
“This is insane! How does she even hear anything after this is beyond me! But the beat is kinda awesome…” she thought, as her ears began to pulsate from the power of the sound waves.
Twilight opened the door of the house, and the force of sound wave pushed her back. She looked to Vinyl, but the mare seemed focused, to the point of trance. It was as if every beat ran through her and out. Twilight jelled her name a few times, but to no avail. She need to get to her, or at least to the power source of her equipment. To her dismay, the power outlet seemed to be behind Vinyl.
The music was now so loud, even her inner thoughts were deafened by it. But even worse, a feeling of numbness began to engulf her mind, and she felt an alien presence inside her sub-conience.
“What is this feeling...”
“Come closer. Feel the rhythm…”
“Who, who are you!?”
“I am just a friend. A friend who will teach you new tricks… Can you feel the draw of the music? It calls for you Twilight Sparkle.”
“Please, leave me alone…”
“Oh no honey. You've only tasted the sweet embrace of the Beat. It’s time to get the whole course!”
The new force pushed Twilight inside, and the horror was evident on her face. But with each passing meter she got closer and closer, her body fighting the force of the large speakers, and her own struggle to run away, so did the music began to sooth her into a sense of security, and sheer lust. She couldn't believe that she was getting aroused from music, but her body began to feel warm and so soft and welcoming.
“Never forget that feeling, you will yearn for it soon enough…”
“Please, I beg you, stop this!”
“Trust me Twi, this is for the best. Think of this as the first day of the rest of your life.”
As Twilight finally arrived right next to the largest speaker in the house, and stood on her hind legs, allowing her whole body to feel the power of The Beat, she yelled:
“Drop that motherbucking bass now!”
Her shout was so loud that it broke Vinyl from her trance, and the DJ saw in shock as her good friend surrendered to The Beat.
“No Twilight, stop!” she pleaded, and tried to turn the music of, but as she was reaching for the plug, the bass drop hit Twilight with full force.
Everything stopped around Twilight. She could even see the push of the sound wave trough the air. But what was even stranger to her, she could feel the energy of it, and it tasted sweet. She need more, much more. Then she noticed that her skin began to lose it’s color, and became white just like Vinyl’s. This continued up her body, right to the tip of her horn. Then, her eyes flashed, as their color changed to magenta. Finally, with a swoop of electrical power, her mane and tail became blue and cyan, just like DJ-Pon3’s.
Time soon began to speed up, and now the noise was no longer deafening. It was delicious; each sound blast fed her more and more.
The Beat soon stopped, as Vinyl got the plug. The new pony ran, with the speed of sound to her pult, grabbing her by the shoulders and jelled : “Why did you stop it?!”
“I am sorry Twilight, this was not supposed to happen. Nobody would be here in Ponyville. I am so sorry!” the DJ cried, as tears ran under her glasses.
“Twilight left the building, mare! The name is Bass Cannon!” the new pony replied, her voice seemingly similar to that of the librarian, but with more force, and even confidence.
“Now, could you return to the pult, please, or will I have to use force?”
“Sure, just let me go, and I will feed you.” Vinyl replied, as she realized that the deed was done. Twilight was no long her friend. She was her sister, and she needed food.
Tears were still dropping from her eyes, as the beat continued through the night, until finally, Bass Canon feel into a blissful sleep on the floor. Vinyl carried her to her house, and laid her into her bed.
“Sweet dreams Twi. I will try and to explain everything tomorrow, and hope that you will forgive me one day.” – Vinyl whispered, and went to bed as well, in the library itself.
