Chapter 6: Changes Realized

Previous Chapter

A/N: Hey, everypony! Man, I haven't updated in forever! So glad that inspiration finally struck! Well, I hope you like how the story's going! Please review and tell me what you think!

If you wish (and if you're into Star Wars), please read my other stories: Dark Destiny, Lullabye, Star Wars Musical, The Young Adventures of Terra Pax, and Terra Pax's Story (which is really just a bunch of drafts for a book I'm thinking might just stay fanfiction)!

I woke up the next morning and looked at the bed that Guitar was sleeping in the previous night and gasped in shock. She was gone! I started searching all over the room for my sister and noticed that her guitar was missing. I looked out the window and noticed that everypony was out of harmony with each other, and it was starting to look like it did back at our old village. I was terrified, and immediately went out of my room and started to search for my new friends. They were all together with the princesses, and they noticed my disheveled look and knew immediately that something was wrong.

"Singing, what's going on?" Twilight asked, trotting over to me.

"Guitar's missing, and she took her guitar with her!" I immediately said, nearly shouting. "Outside, it's starting to look like my old village!" I panted, partially because I was out of breath and partially because of my fear.

The ponies all sitting together looked at each other nervously. Luna was the first to speak.

"Then we must search for Guitar. It is possible that she is starting to test her power, and she could be anywhere in Equestria."

Sunset shook her head. "She knows that the Sirens are in the mirror world. Most likely, she's gone back there. I doubt that she would stay in Equestria with us, where she would not be allowed to test her power. I know what it's like to hold power and only want more, and she will also want to find guidance with those of her own kind."

"You mean that she's gone back to wherever the Sirens are?" Starlight asked nervously.

"I do," Sunset replied grimly. "Our only chance is finding Sirenmaker and destroying his gem, freeing the Sirens of his spell. It will not only save Guitar, but it will keep her and the Sirens from ever returning to power."

Luna and Celestia both nodded simultaneously. Celestia was the one who spoke: "Then we must hurry and search for Sirenmaker if we are to succeed. Some ponies will go to the mirror world and see if he truly is there with the Sirens. The rest of us will search Equestria for him."

"Guitar got the gem in the mirror world, so it's more likely that Sirenmaker's there," I noted. "Maybe those who have been to the mirror world should go look there, since they've been there before."

Twilight nodded. "Singing, Starlight, Sunset, Spike, and I will all go to the mirror world to look for Guitar. We'll check back when we find anything."

Celestia said, "Then we must quickly act if we are to save Guitar from the spell of the Sirens."

Guitar Riff

I stumbled through the portal and struggled to pick myself up. I was not used to walking on two legs, but knew that I could easily walk once I did. I looked around and found Adagio standing at the other side of the statue, waiting.

"I see you have decided to return sooner than I thought you would," she remarked as she guided me to the tour van. "Come, we have much to discuss."

"Of course," I replied.

When we reached the van, I saw that Aria was sitting splayed in a chair, looking bored, and that Sonata was downing a plate of tacos. I then noticed a green-skinned man with black hair reclining on a comfy chair without arms that was in a circle with two other chairs of the same style. He motioned for us to sit with him, and we both followed suit.

"I see you have decided to join us, Guitar Riff," he remarked. "It's a shame that your sister decided not to."

"She didn't even put on the pendant," I noted. "She doesn't know of the true power in them."

"You don't either, but you will soon learn." He reached a hand out to me. "My name is Sirenmaker. It's a pleasure to meet you face-to-face at last."

I shook the hand presented to me, and he smiled at me. I wasn't sure if it was sinister or something else, but I ignored the nagging in my head. This is my way to power, I reminded myself. I WILL gain it, even if my sister refuses to.

My attention was then turned back to Sirenmaker as he spoke again. "You have already begun to use the pendant's power, I assume."

I nodded, telling him what I did in Canterlot. He cocked his head at the mention of Canterlot, and I explained to him what it was. He understood then, and pressed his fingers together.

"This complicates things," he said after I finished telling him everything, including what I knew of the Elements of Harmony. "Now that we know that it was the powers of the Elements of Harmony that destroyed the Siren Gems in the first place, we know what will be our downfall. We cannot allow for a misstep like at the Canterlot High Battle of the Bands again." By this time, Aria and Sonata began to listen to the conversation, interested in what the man had to say. "Then, we overlooked the power of the Elements without their physical manifestations outside of their spirits. Now that they have them, we will need to be more careful and plan our next move accordingly."

Adagio mentioned, "At the Battle of the Bands, our gems were only destroyed when a seventh element was added to the main six Elements. There were rumors, stories of such Elements of Harmony, back where Sonata, Aria and I used to be fillies, but there were only ever mention of six Elements. The addition of new Elements is something that we must consider."

Sirenmaker nodded his agreement. "We must keep an eye on the Rainbooms, then, as they still live in the area. They were fools to think that they would be safe here while we recovered from the Battle of the Bands last winter. Next time, we will defeat them utterly," he promised.

I smiled, but inside I was wondering if I should have stayed longer to learn more about the Elements of Harmony so I could give the information to the rest of the Sirens. I shook the thought out of my head as I joined Sonata as she finished her tacos. She offered me one, and I accepted and took a bite. I understood now why she liked them so much – they were absolutely delicious! I made a note to myself to try making some sometime later. After downing so many tacos, however, I realized that my stomach wasn't getting any fuller. Something was missing.

Sonata noticed and said, "If you aren't feeling like they're filling you up, it's because only the power of a Siren can fill ya. Ordinary food can't affect your hunger anymore, which is why I love this! I can eat AS MANY TACOS AS I WANT!"

I shivered and refrained from eating another taco. I got up again and searched for a place to sit. Adagio patted the chair by her, which was now so close to her that the two practically made a small couch. I sat down beside her, and she put a hand on mine, leaning in close to me.

"A little scared, sweetie?" she asked me with a smile, and I nodded, looking down and not wanting to look into the Siren's eyes.

She put her hand under my chin like she had at the concert, and forced me to look at her eyes again. They were a beautiful gold that went with her skin and hair, and they were full of power – and the things that came with it. It was a power that I wanted so badly it hurt, and she seemed to notice how I saw the power in her eyes.

"Don't be," she continued. "Believe me, we all were scared at first, but the rush of power is so much that we forgot how scared we were. I will be here to stay with you and guide you through this whole thing. Trust me, you'll be comfortable in no time."

She offered her arms in a hug, and I accepted it, feeling her arms around me like my sister's front legs once were when we were fillies, except that this hug was more intimate than any sisterly hug. My heart went aflutter, and I squeezed my eyes shut. I wasn't sure what was happening, but I knew one thing: I was a Siren now, and I trusted Adagio with my life.

My friends and I went through the portal to find the Rainbooms waiting, having received Twilight's message. We were all helped up, and had to stretch our arms, legs, and hands to get them working properly.

"So what's the plan?" Rainbow asked, not wanting to waste time.

"She's most likely back with the Sirens, and she'll not want to leave them," I told her with a matter-of-factly tone.

"Then we'll have to beat them again," Applejack said as she pumped her fist in the air. "We've done it before; we can do it again."

"It might not be so easy next time," Twilight reminded them. "They will know about the Elements of Harmony, and if Sirenmaker's really with them, he'll find a way to make more Sirens and make it harder for us to defeat them."

"Plus, we have to destroy his green gem to destroy Siren magic forever," Sunset added. "That takes a lot of magic, magic I'm not sure that we can replicate in this world."

"If there's more Elements than the main six that are in the stories, then maybe we simply need to find the rest of the Elements of Harmony that are simply hidden!" Starlight suggested.

"How many are there, though…" SciTwi mused, holding her chin in her hand in thought.

I wasn't sure myself if the plan would work. We needed time – time that wasn't on our side.


A/N: Yup, I'm putting an OC shipping in here - Adagio/Guitar Riff. It's my first try at a lesbian ship, but here's to hoping it doesn't go to crap (or an M rating).
