It was morning and Melody made her decision. "I've decided to help you break the spell my sisters' put on the school." Melody said.
"OK. I was thinking that you could try to bring out the friendship in the students to soften the Sirens' spell." Twilight started.
"Then we finish them off with the counter-spell!" Rainbow finished.
"Remember, we're only targeting the spell and not my sisters." Melody reminded her.
"Don't worry." Sunset said. "If they can't feed off hatred then they don't have any real power. Right?"
"Yes, that's right." Melody confirmed.
"Well, we'll go down to my barn to practice the counter-spell." Applejack said.
"Actually, I'm going home to get ready for the Battle of the Bands. See you guys there." Melody said leaving.
Everybody said bye and Melody went home.
When Melody got home and opened the door there was confetti blasted in her face.
"Happy 16th Birthday Melody!" Adagio, Aria, and Sonata screamed.
There was red balloons and streamers on the walls and a big banner that said 'Happy Sweet 16' in red on it.
"Aw guys. You didn't have to do this." Melody said.
"Are you kidding?! Your 16th birthday is the most important birthday of your life!" Sonata shouted.
"And as of today you're now a full fledged Siren!" Aria said.
"Now you can bring out the hatred in others by yourself!" Adagio said.
"OK, but before we do anything else, I need to go freshen up." Melody said while heading towards the bathroom.
"You know, it only seems like only yesterday she was a baby in a box and now she's a full fledged Siren!" Adagio said.
"Don't get all washed up before we go to the Battle of the Bands." Aria said.
"And don't forget you still need to tell her she benefits off of friendship more than hatred." Sonata reminded her.
"I will! Tonight after the finals." Adagio said.
"Now that Melody's a full fledged Siren do you still she won't win?" Aria asked.
"Even though she's a full fledged Siren now, the three of us are still more powerful than her. So no,I don't think that she'll win." Adagio answered.
Melody then came out of the bathroom tightening her belt. "I'm ready to go." She said while adjusting the rose in her braid.
"Not until you eat your breakfast!" Sonata said enthusiastically while holding a plate with a smiley face pancake.
"Guys I'm not 6 anymore. Plus I already ate breakfast."
"OK. If we're all ready, then lets go to the Battle of the Bands." Adagio said.
The four girls were walking to the school when Adagio noticed that Melody seemed a little down.
"Melody, you know what we're going to do, so please don't be mad at us." Adagio told Melody.
'Mad at you? You're going to be mad at me when I help break y'alls spell.' Melody thought. "Its OK, Adagio. I understand why we're going to do it." Melody said.
"'We'? Does this mean you'll take part in the plan?"
"Yes." Melody lied. She needed them not to get suspicious of her. And it work.
'I still want to get rid of her. We don't need four Sirens.' He said to Adagio.
'I'm not engaging you this time. I'm in control.' Adagio told him.
They arrived at the school where the Battle of the Bands was going to be held.
"I'm going to go sit over there to wait for my new friends.I hope that's OK." Melody said.
"Sure. Why not?" Adagio replied.
"Thanks." Melody walked off.
"There you go again." Aria said under her breath.
"Lets just go sit down somewhere." Adagio said, pretending not to hear what Aria said.
Principal Celestia got up on stage and started speaking. "Welcome to the first ever Canterlot High School Battle of the Bands. I believe I speak for everyone when I say it is by far the greatest thing we have ever done here at this school!"
Students then cheered. She then continued.
"We are so glad our four newest students encouraged us to turn this event into something exciting!"
The Dazzlings and Melody gave a little smile.
Vice Principal Luna then cut in. "Seeing as this is now a competition, we will have a three way final, but we can only choose one winner. Who is it going to be?"
The students then started to argue with each other, emitting a green mist. Melody's and the Dazzlings' pendants glowed, absorbing the hatred.
"You feel that girls? That's our true power being restored." Adagio said to Aria and Sonata.
Then they start laughing. Then the Rainbooms and Sunset enter the gym. Adagio does a 'cut off' jester with her hands and Aria and Sonata stop laughing.
"And that's before we've tapped into the strongest magic here."
Aria then spoke up. "But the Rainblossoms, or whatever they're called, aren't under our spell. How exactly are we supposed to get to their magic?"
"The Rainbooms are just as capable of falling apart as anyone else." Adagio said. "They just need a little... push in the wrong direction. And I've got a feeling everyone here is going to be lining up to give them a shove."
So Snip and Snails do a to-awful-to-write-down rape.
They then leave stage.
Melody was walking next to the Rainbooms.
"Least we know one group who won't stand in the way of us gettin' to the finals." Applejack said.
"Why are y'all trying to get to the finals? I thought you were going to break my sisters' spell." Melody asked.
"I need more time to finish the counter-spell, so we're competing for real to bye some time, but you can still try to bring out the friendship in everyone else to soften the spell." Twilight told her.
"Let's get ready to rock!" Rainbow Dash stated.
"Wait! Where's Rarity?" Pinkie Pie asked.
"Oh! Here!Here!" Rarity yelled while wearing a western style suit with glamour.
"What is that supposed to be?" Applejack asked.
"We will be performing in front of an audience. I'm not going to wear something fabulous?" Rarity answered.
Twilight then reminded everyone of their plan. "Remember, we have to be good enough to make it through but not so good we let the Sir- " She looked at Melody. "I mean the Dazzlings see the magic within us. They could realize we plan to use it against them."
"Got it! Be cool enough to win, but not so cool that we end up showing off the whole ears and tails and rainbows thing. Sooo... about twenty percent less cool." Rainbow Dash said.
Pinkie Pie said "One! Two!"
[The Rainbooms]
We've just got the day to get ready

[Pinkie Pie]

[Applejack]

[The Rainbooms]
Ohhh-ahh!

[During the scene Rarity's clothes tore, Pinkie Pie let loose a confetti cannons, and Fluttershy ran from a light]
Rarity looked at her torn outfit. "Ruined! Absolutely ruined!" She said.
"Rarity, were you tryin' to make us lose out there?!" Applejack accused.
"Wh- Oh! This was not my fault! This was an act of sabotage!"
"Yeah, well, whoever did this couldn't have done this if you didn't insist on dressin' like... like... this! We just need to sound good! Is there some reason why that concept seems to escape you?"
"And what was with the confetti, Pinkie Pie? How am I supposed to shred if there's paper stuck in my frets?!" Rainbow Dash asked Pinkie Pie.
"It was pretty distracting..." Fluttershy said.
"Ugh! Says the girl who was running from a light the whole time! A light!" Pinkie Pie told her.
"You still sounded much better than most of the other bands." Sunset told them. "I'm sure you'll make it to the next round. But it won't matter if you don't have that counter-spell ready. You all find a place to practice where the Dazzlings can't hear you. I'll keep an eye on things around here."
The Rainbooms plus Sunset left the gym. Derpy's band played next. In the hallway Melody was talking to her sisters about the Battle of the Bands.
"I'm going to make it to the finals, and I'm not going to hold back." Melody told them.
"We won't ether." Adagio told her. Aria and Sonata nodded in agreement.
"I wouldn't want it any other way." Melody then walked away.
After she left the Dazzlings then saw Twilight crying after a fight with Flash.
Adagio chuckled. "Tears already? But this is only the first round."
Aria and Sonata then laughed.
"The next band to take the stage will be Trixie and the Illusions." Principal Celestia said on the PA.
"Better head back. We're supposed to go on after Trixie." Adagio told Aria and Sonata.
As they reached the doors they stopped to see Sunset leaning on the wall.
"You're never gonna get away with this." She said.
"Why? Because you didn't?" Adagio asked.
Sunset's eyes then widened.
"Oh, we know all about you, Sunset Shimmer. You've got quite the reputation at Canterlot High." Adagio continued.
"I've changed! I'm in a much better place now!" Sunset said defensively.
"Waiting in the wings while your 'friends' have all the fun?" Aria asked.
"Oh, yes, you girls are so tight. And yet... they didn't ask you to be in the band." Adagio said.
"Probably they were afraid no one would want to see them play if she was in the group." Aria speculated.
"Too bad! So sad!" Sonata taunted.
"If there's any consolation, no one is going to remember you at all by the time we're done." Adagio told Sunset while bumping into her. Sonata then bumped into her too.
"Now remember, girls; we want to save the good stuff for when our full power has been restored." Adagio told Aria and Sonata.
The Dazzlings then held their pendants, which glowed for a second.
[The Dazzlings]
Oh-whoa-oh, oh-whoa-oh

Spell
[maniacal laughter]
Several bands were defeated and the Dazzlings absorbed the hatred that they all produced. Melody absorbed some of the hatred too, but only when her sisters were around to make them believe she was with their plan.
Principal Celestia said that the Dazzlings are the first group to advance to the finals. And the next performance was between Flash's band and Melody.
After his band played Flash mocked Melody. "There's no way you're going to beat us little miss Minor."
"Don't count your wins before the battles are over." Melody told him.
Adagio then walked over to them. "Yeah I wouldn't underestimate Melody if I were you." She said.
"Next is, Melody Minor." Vice principal Luna announced.
And that's enough for this chapter. I'll finish the song I made in Chapter 4 and us it in the next chapter.
