Chapter 1: The Split
Splashfire99: Helloooo! First time writing a MLP fanfic here! Hope you'll enjoy it!
I wasn't really that much interested in MLP until Rainbow Rocks. After watching this movie, I found myself strangely attached to The Dazzlings, and had the sudden urge to write a fanfic about them. So..here it is!
In the very corner of a library, at an empty table, sat a young teenage girl. She held a book open and upright on the table, and seemed to be scowling rather grumpily at the pages. She wore a dark coloured hoodie with the hood over her head, and there were a few strands of light autumn locks visibly framing her face. Her eyes were dark pink and filled with bitterness, and her skin was golden yellow. The girl sat alone at her chair, flipping her book so frequently, that it was obvious that she wasn't caring to actually read it properly. Many people sitting around her assumed she was one of those school dropouts that had nothing better to do on a Friday afternoon. No one knew there was a siren in their midst, or the Leader of the sirens, to be exact, known as Adagio Dazzle. But she had been there for almost two hours already. As Adagio flipped through the rather dull(in her point of view) story, she tried, very quietly, to hum a specific note. But almost as soon as she had started, the hum broke off with a grunt of dismay. "Off tune..again." She muttered to herself. "Idiot Rainbooms. My plan was perfect!" She did not say 'our' plan was perfect, as in her point of view, her fellow sirens Aria and Sonata had almost nothing to do with the planning stage of their plan to rule the world. They weren't exactly friends either: they were just in the same group, being sirens. Now that the Rainbooms had ruined everything and robbed them of their powers and enchanted singing voices, there was no longer anything binding them together. After their gems were smashed and they were booed off the stage, they had argued for a while, before deciding to split. They never liked each other anyway, so why would they stick together after this? As she flipped through the book, Adagio rolled her eyes at the thought of Aria and Sonata. "Both of them are idiots." She grumbled under her breath. "At least this way, I don't have to put up with their nonsense." Despite saying this, she couldn't help but feel a small tinge of loneliness, and right now, she hoped she would hear Aria and Sonata's constant bickering. But all the same, she thought it would be better this way...right?
While Adagio was sitting alone in the library, right at the other side of the city, a girl with violet hair with green streaks,two ponytails and violet eyes sat on a seat in the cinema, surrounded by strangers. The movie Now You See Me was projected on-screen, as the audience watched it intently with wide eyes of anticipation. However, the violet haired girl wasn't absorbing much from the movie or its plot. But occasionally, she would lightly touch her neck with a grim look on her face, like as though she had lost a necklace or something. She had the strong urge to sing, considering there were many people sitting around her, but she knew it would be no good. Firstly, thanks to Twilight Sparkle and her friends(a.k.a the Rainbooms), the precious gem that had once hung around her neck(and the necks of Adagio and Sonata), the gem that had given her the power to create tension amongst people and then feed off that energy, had been destroyed, so her voice would have no effect on anyone. Secondly, when the gem was destroyed, it had also taken her beautiful singing voice with it. If she sang, she would surely get thrown out for creating noise. The girl shut her mouth tightly to remind herself that. Thanks a lot, Rainbooms, she thought to herself spitefully, sipping on her soft drink. Her voice was gone, and so was her sole purpose as a siren. Pull yourself together, Aria Blaze, the girl thought. You'll survive eventually, without Adagio and Sonata. Adagio was always too commanding and bossy, while Sonata was always the dumb one who hardly had a clue what was going on. In fact, Aria thought that Sonata sometimes didn't know a single thing on what was going on around her. To be rid of both of them was a good thing...right? Compared to Aria's whirling thoughts, the dialogue of the movie seemed distant and echo-like.
Meanwhile, right at the edge of the city, yet another one of the sirens was standing near the harbour, looking down at the sea with a blank look on her face.
And munching hungrily on a taco.
The girl's blue hair streaked with dark blue blew gently in the breeze, as her dark pink eyes stared down into the rippling water at her reflection. After a while, she shuddered with a soft squeal as a gust of cold wind blew past her, and quickly tugged the hood of the hoodie she wore over her head. Then, she finished her taco, threw away some rubbish, and continued to stare absently into the water over the railing. For moment, she saw her reflection change, her dark hoodie changing to become a dark pink shirt with long sleeves. A gem appeared on her neck, and her now dull pink eyes suddenly became full of confidence and life. The reflection smiled at her, before fading away once again to her normal reflection. The third siren, Sonata Dusk, sighed. She had no idea what exactly to do, now that her gem was gone, which meant she was powerless. Without her powers, there was no use hanging around anyone or returning to Canterlot High. Sonata felt as though she had just lost her purpose and goal, although, of course, she was quick at adapting to a normal, eventless life of a normal teenager. Even though she had to admit that being normal was pretty okay, she had no idea where to go without any goal-or any of her fellow sirens-to guide her. Following their defeat at the hands of the Rainbooms and the big split, Sonata guessed that Adagio should be cooped up somewhere grumbling about the Rainbooms. Sonata did resent them for taking away her source of power, but that was it, really. The only importance of that gem to her was that it seemed like the only thing that she could depend on to survive. But now that it was gone, would she fade away with time? At this thought, Sonata's eyes turned dimmer. The only thing she could think of to answer that was to wait and find out. With that, the teenager turned and walked away from the sea, aimlessly, to the streets.
After the movie had finished, Aria Blaze walked out of the cinema alone, down a deserted street. As she walked, she hummed a tune quietly to herself, her face still filled with dismay because she knew how out of tune she sounded. She couldn't help but hope that Adagio or Sonata or both of them would pop out anywhere, considering both of them were much better company than no one, regardless of whether she liked them or not. Aria pulled her hood over her head. She'd never felt so miserable in her life. Now what could she do? Make friends? She frowned in disgust at the word" friends". Ugh, no way. She didn't want to end up like those goody two shoes the Rainbooms or any of the other Canterlot High students. What about...finding love? Ewww, even worse! Aria grimaced, and then snapped back to reality when a small piece of paper, carried by the breeze, suddenly smacked right into her face. "What the-" Startled, she snatched the small paper slip off her face and was about to angrily throw it away when the word" Concert" caught her eye. She gently held the slip in her fingers and carefully read it. It was then she realised that it was actually a ticket to a concert! 'Triple Rewind Charity Concert at Amethyst Hall, Friday 4p.m.' It read. Obviously, Triple Rewind must have been the name of a group. A singing group. Aria's eyes widened with sudden interest. She had always liked music...maybe it would be a good idea to go and watch them since she had nothing better to do? After all, the concert would start in half an hour, and Amethyst Hall was only a stone's throw away from here. Shrugging, Aria Blaze shoved her hands in her pockets and walked off in that direction.
