Yay! Chapter 10!
Rainbow Dash walked to the front door and entered the house without hesitation. The two remaining sirens noticed her, and Aria tensed. Sunset gasped.
"Rainbow Dash!" She said, surprised.
"Don't worry, Sunset. I'll get you outta here." Aria growled.
"Not if I have anything to do about it!" The siren said, rushing forward at Rainbow. She barreled into her with the force to knock down the biggest brute, but Rainbow was just barely able to stay upright as she dodged half of the blow. Aria then tried to land a punch on Rainbow's face, but Rainbow was quick, and she grabbed her fist in mid-punch. Aria then tried to punch the girl with her other fist, but the same thing happened. With Aria's fist both restrained, Rainbow took a chance and lifted her leg, kicking the siren hard in the stomach. Aria stumbled back, but didn't have much time to recover before Rainbow ran at her, knocking her to the ground. The fight then became a tussle on the floor. They rolled over and over, one trying to gain dominance over the other. They seemed to match each others' strength, but with Aria's abdominal injury, she was at a bit of a disadvantage. She looked over to Sonata in desperation.
"Sonata, help me!" She said. Sonata shifted where she stood uncomfortably. She wanted to help her friend, but she didn't want to hurt Sunset's friend. She stood there, looking between Sunset and the fighting girls. Sunset looked at Sonata worriedly, wondering what she would choose to do. Sonata's mind was reeling, and she was torn between two sides. She could help Aria, but if she hurt Rainbow Dash, then Sunset wouldn't like her. But if she didn't do anything, then Aria would be mad at her like always. But…maybe there was another option. She looked at Sunset, and the rope around her. Maybe they would stop if they had nothing to fight over…
Aria kept trying to get Rainbow off of her. She thought this was ridiculous. Rainbow was a human. A human! Why couldn't she just automatically beat her down?! Well, her specialty wasn't exactly hand to hand combat. She was more used to using her voice instead of actual physical fighting.
Suddenly, she heard a gasp. She looked over, and she saw something unthinkable. She almost had to do a double take. Sonata was untying Sunset Shimmer!
"Sonata, what're you doing?! Are you crazy?!" Sonata ignored her and continued what she was doing. "Sonata!" She said, more angrily. Sonata knew Aria would hate her for this, but she was doing what she thought was best. Rainbow looked over and saw what was happening, and her eyes widened in surprise. Aria took the opportunity, and rolled Rainbow over while she was distracted, pinning her down. Rainbow then got her head back into the fight, and they began tussling again. Unsurprisingly, Rainbow was able to get Aria pinned under her again. Sonata had finished untying Sunset, and the girl stood up straight for the first time in days. She looked at the siren.
"Thanks, Sonata. But…why?" Sonata smiled.
"Because I couldn't just let them hurt you."
"But what about you? I'm pretty sure they won't be happy with you after this." Sonata put on a fake, convincing smile.
"Don't worry about me. They're never happy with me. I'm used to it. Now hurry and get out of here!" She said, shooing the girl to the door. Rainbow Dash got off of Aria quickly, and made a break for the door as well. Aria got up and tried to go after them, but Sonata grabbed her from behind and held her back.
"Let me go, you idiot!"
"No! I won't let you hurt them!" She said. Adagio then ran into the room due to the yelling.
"What happe-" She then saw Sonata holding Aria back for some reason. "What's going on, here?!"
"She let them escape!"
The two girls found Applejack right outside of the house, and they grabbed her and kept running, going to the meeting place that the five friends had planned out. Sunset wasn't thinking about escape, though. She was thinking about what would happen to poor Sonata.
Aww, what'll happen to Sonata?
