Things get a bit cray-cray here X3
Adagio roared as Aria's jaws wrapped around her throat. Sonata gasped and her ears pinned against her head. Aria, fangs embedded in the golden siren's neck, shook her head violently, tearing the flesh. Adagio let out another screech of pain before bringing her massive tail around and slamming it into Aria's face while simultaneously trying to snap at her. The purple siren's grip loosened a bit, but she did not let go. Blood was visible now, seeping from the punctures in Adagio's neck.
"Aria, stop it! Please!" Sonata begged, sobbing harder. But Aria didn't listen, and she continued her assault on her former leader. Adagio tried wriggling loose from her powerful grip, but it only proved to open the wounds further, so she had no choice but to continue trying to get her to let go first. She swung her tail around and slammed it into her face again, harder than before, this time hitting her eye. Aria roared angrily, letting go of the golden siren. Adagio quickly got out of reach, and flew up next to Sonata, her neck dripping with blood from the various wounds dotting it. Aria shook her head, the right side of her head aching from the impact. She stopped and looked at Adagio and Sonata, glaring at them with hatred. Adagio looked at her pleadingly.
"Aria..." She began, her voice sounding weak from the pain and that fact that the wounds were around her throat. "...please stop this..." Aria snarled.
"I'm not doing what you say anymore!" She yelled angrily.
"Aria, please liste-"
"No! I don't want to hear what you have to say! I'm done with you! Both of you! Now die!" She screeched, lunging at Adagio again. Adagio dodged and flew a couple feet away.
"Aria! I don't want to fight you!"
"Then stay still, and I'll make it quick!" She yelled, lunging again. Adagio dodged once again, but didn't take into account her tail, which Aria bit down on and used it to pull her back towards her. Adagio then realized that she didn't have a choice but to fight back. But with Aria's newly reclaimed power and her own powerlessness, she didn't believe she stood much of a chance against the enraged siren. swinging her head around, Adagio snapped at Aria, successfully managing to wrap her jaws around her left foreleg. Aria snarled and whipped Adagio with her tail, but it didn't have much effect. The siren's hide was too tough. Adagio squeezed her eyes shut and bit down harder, feeling Aria's blood flowing between her teeth now. Aria growled and let go of Adagio's tail. "You filthy bitch!" She yelled, biting down on her already injured neck again, harder this time. Adagio started feeling lightheaded, and she let go of Aria's leg. Her vision blurred slightly, and she blinked a couple times to bring it back into focus.
Realization came to her that there was nothing she could do now. In the state and position she was in, she could hardly fight back successfully. She groaned in pain as Aria's fangs sunk deeper into her neck. All she could do was accept her fate, now. At least she tried. Adagio closed her eyes and let herself go limp in defeat. Aria smiled victoriously as she felt Adagio falter in her grip. Not so strong and proud now, huh Dagi? Looks like I- Aria's thoughts were interrupted as something barreled into her, sending her flying back a few feet. Adagio seemed to jolt in surprise, but still did nothing. Aria snarled when she felt something clamp down on her tail. She looked and was surprised when she saw Sonata. How dare she attack me? Aria roared at her, dropping Adagio in the process. But Aria didn't care. She bared her fangs and lunged at Sonata. The blue siren let go and moved out of the way just in time for Aria to accidentally snag her own tail. Aria whimpered in pain before letting go and glaring at Sonata.
"If someone stupid like me can outsmart you that easily, then you must not be that bright." She taunted. Aria snarled in rage and lunged at her again. Sonata flew out of the way and lunged at Aria, grabbing ahold of her throat. But she didn't want to hurt her, so she only bit hard enough to hold her in place so she wouldn't be able to attack her.
"Rgh! Sonata, I'll kill you!" Aria yelled, trying to wriggle out of her grip. But after her fight with Adagio, she was slightly exhausted. But Sonata hadn't been fighting, so she was able to keep the other siren at bay. Sonata lowered her ears and looked at Aria sympathetically. Aria...this isn't you... Sonata sighed before flying down to the ground and lying Aria down on the grass. She held her down with her forelegs and released her neck. Aria tried flying back into the air, but Sonata held her down firmly. After a few more minutes of nonstop vain attempts to wriggle to freedom, Aria let out a final huff before allowing herself to go limp under Sonata's weight. Sonata looked down at her.
"Aria, please stop this..." The purple siren growled.
"Go fuck yourself."
"Aria..." Sonata's eyes began to water. "...please come back to me. I...I miss you. I miss us. Please." To this, Aria said nothing. She just stared off into the distance, as if looking at something no one else could see. Sonata sighed and looked over, spotting Adagio lying on the ground not too far away, a small pool of blood around her neck. Sonata wanted desperately to go over and help her, but she didn't want to risk Aria doing something if she were to let her go. "Aria...I love you more than anything. You need to understand that. Even if you hate me, I will always love you." Sonata leaned down and brushed her muzzle against Aria's trembling cheek. "You mean the world to me..." A couple tears fell from Sonata's eyes and landed on Aria's snout. The purple siren's ears pressed against her head and she shook the droplets off. She then craned her neck to look at Sonata as best she could, and she saw tears streaming down her cheeks. Aria looked down and closed her eyes. She stayed like that for a few more moments before sighing and looking at Adagio's motionless form a few yards away. She then looked at Sonata again, nearly all anger and hatred gone from her expression.
"I'm sorry..." She muttered. Sonata looked at her in surprise.
"Wha?" Then, suddenly, Aria bit Sonata's leg, causing the blue siren to yelp and pull back, releasing her captive. Aria moved out from under her and flew out of reach. She looked back at Sonata, who was looking at her wide-eyed with confusion and pleading.
"...but I can't come back." She finished before turning and darting away, flying quickly out of sight to who-knows-where.
"Aria..." Sonata wanted to go after her, but she remembered the other siren, and looked over at Adagio. "Dagi!" She yelped, flying over to her. She pushed her head a bit with her muzzle, praying for a reaction. Thankfully, the golden siren began coughing, and she opened her eyes.
"S-sonata?"
"Hey, Dagi..." She whispered, attempting a smile, but it failed when she saw a sliver of blood begin coming from the corner of her mouth. "Adagio, we need to get you to Princess Twilight. She knows Zecora, remember? She can help you." With a groan, Adagio managed to set herself upright and rest on her forelegs. She shook her head slowly.
"No. No, I'll be fine." She said in a low, strained voice.
"But you're really hurt! You're bleeding a lot!" Adagio smiled slightly and nuzzled Sonata.
"I said I'll be fine. This is nothing. I've been through a lot worse." She said before looking blankly ahead, seemingly recalling a distant haunting memory. She then shook her head and blinked, looking at Sonata. She smiled again. "I'll be okay." She said reassuringly. Sonata furrowed her brows in worry, but didn't press further. Adagio suddenly began looking around rapidly. "Wait, where's Aria?!" Sonata looked down.
"She left..."
"She did?" Sonata nodded.
"I tried to help her. To talk some sense into her. I told her I loved her. It actually seemed to calm her down, but then she said 'I'm sorry, but I can't come back' and then she just left." Adagio tilted her head.
"That's so strange. I was sure at least one of us would end up dead with how persistent and angry she was. There's just no talking sense into her." Adagio shook her head. Then, suddenly, she reeled her head back before breaking out into another coughing fit, and Sonata whimpered when she saw blood spurt from her mouth with the final cough.
"Adagio, you-"
"I'm fine." Adagio insisted, with a sense of finality in her tone. Sonata sighed.
"Well, do you at least want me to help you get back home?" She asked. Adagio looked at her with a small, slightly sarcastic smile, and she chuckled a bit.
"That would be lovely..."
I fangirled at the part where Sonata was talking to Aria XD
