Fortissimo, Allegro and Orchestral finally touched back down on the stage once the creatures they had summoned were dispersed to all the corners of the world. Their pendants stopped shaking and their wings and added hair returned to whence it came.

Once they had returned to their regular selves, they all looked at the clear sky with its' sinister-looking red and blue moon hanging above the three of them. They could immediately tell from its' otherworldly radiance that taking down The Dazzlings would be no easy feat.

"Hmm..." Fortissimo said, thinking up another way to get his little sister back to him.

"What's on your mind, Fortissimo?" Allegro decided to ask, noticing that his leader was deep in thought at this moment.

"The Dazzlings might be quite young, but they can still tap in to some remnants of their power..." he said, remembering that it would take more than a destroyed pendant to keep a Siren from fighting. "I need to make sure that they fully maximise their strength for our upcoming clash..."

"Forgive me for sounding a little like Allegro here," Orchestral started. " But how do you propose we do this act, Fortissimo?"

"Simple..." he told Orchestral, making sure that he and Allegro were watching him very closely. He rubbed his pendants and could feel something coming up from Euphoria and something from Dystopia was coming up to talk to him. "We simply have to reacquaint them with some of their old 'friends'..."

"Pom zei kul, Fortissimo?" an otherworldly voice spoke from his pendant, telling the Siren that he'd finally established contact with the spirits of Euphoria and Dystopia. "Pom zei kiel carzemier lir si kigeran iz krag fie juringer..."

"The Dazzlings are no more..." Fortissimo said, upsetting the spirits with all the knowledge he'd accrued over the years. "Their defeat at that miserable high-school forced them to utter the lyrics of the Second Life Song, stripping them of all their memories of Lyrica and all their age..."

"Kiel... Dour Dazzlings kes stelken orgenas deiren?" the voice spoke from Fortissimo's blue pendant in a rather archaic and unknown language. He looked down at the pendant and rubbed it gently so that the voice was acknowledging him.

"Unfortunately, that is the case." Fortissimo said as he now saw giant holographic projections appear in front of him. There was a giant knight with a heavenly sword, riding an armoured horse. He was accompanied by a wizard-esque being with a giant sceptre, an almighty blindfolded angel holding a scale, a figure with dozens of tentacles coming out of its' various limbs, a monster with a dragon's head and a humanoid body with a fluttering cape, and finally a being with a giant sword and shield. This last being had two dead Hippocampi draped around its' neck like an almighty scarf. All the beings that Fortissimo was talking to all shared heights of up to thirty-five feet tall and glowed a bright and soothing blue. It was hard to make out, but they also had Blissen jewels melded into their bodies.

"Mael doumkarnera..." Another voice came, this time from Fortissimo's red pendant. It was also speaking in another language which was alien to anyone that wasn't a Siren, like The Blasters. "Par kael e mour yei wip skeneir bodrea..."

They can still become adored, with some serious training..." Allegro said as he now addressed all the spirits in front of him as well as the ones who weren't seen by the naked eye. "That is why we have called upon you, almighty champions of both Euphoria and Dystopia..."

"Kiel pom si het quirez mei kez?" The wizard being with the giant sceptre addressed The Blasters, wondering what they had been called from their dimensions for.

"We need you to find and subdue Adagio Dazzle, Aria Blaze and Sonata Dusk," Orchestral said, letting out another of his devilish smiles as he did so. "They need to be brought to us alive, so we can sing the Song of Resurrection together and bring the entire species back to prosperity."

"If they show any sign of resistance, you have our permission to test their power," Fortissimo said, furthering the rules to the holograms that had his attention. "If they try fighting back, your orders are to neutralize them and make them lose consciousness. Beat them to near death, but not complete death, OK?"

"E..." The giant knight on horseback said, putting one of his giant fists onto his chestplate, saluting Fortissimo in his own way. "Si kes fie por, Fortissimo Blast..."

Then all of the spirits disappeared into the pendants once more, making the air roar as their sudden shift in position caused the air to destabilize around them. Once they had vanished, The Blasters' blue pendants glowed for a brief period of time.

"Adagio might still be in her child-to-teen years now, but that doesn't mean she and the rest of The Dazzlings won't put on a good show for us..." Fortissimo said as he turned to face Allegro and Orchestral once again. "She may have to deal with educational tests now, but we'll give her some physical tests as well."

Upon hearing this, Allegro and Orchestral grinned once again before they used their pendants to open up a spacial portal behind the two of them. Once they had done so, they stepped backwards and disappeared into the vortex of galaxies and stars before disappearing from Fortissimo's vision altogether.

"There's only one thing I have to say to you now, Adagio..." He started as he made his own portal of space and time and began to step backwards into it. "You and The Dazzlings can sing, but let's see how well you DANCE!"

His evil laugh echoed across the skies once he had disappeared. The portals also disappeared relatively quickly, shrinking like wet-washed dry cleaning before popping like bubbles. There were some remnants of magic remaining, but that quickly fizzled out as well...


Sunset felt a little chill running down her spine as she drove the car towards the elementary school where Adagio, Aria and Sonata would be spending their next few terms. Such a chill made her feel worried about the future that lied in store for her and The Dazzlings.

"Mommy, what's wrong?" Adagio decided to ask as she now saw Sunset' worries starting to show from her seat in the car.

"Huh? Oh, nothing, Adagio..." Sunset said as she finally snapped out of her trance and focused more on the road and their safety once again. She then reminded herself that a feeling of fear like this could only mean that The Blasters were getting more and more devious with their little plan. "I just got a little chill is all..."

"Does that mean you're scared, Mommy?" Aria said, trying to probe the main cause of Sunset's distress. She could tell it in Sunset's voice that something had made her feel worried.

"Yeah..." she said, confirming this fact to Adagio, Aria and Sonata. "I'm afraid of what'll happen once you graduate from the educational system..."

"What does that mean?" Sonata asked, curious to know what Sunset could possibly be thinking about at this moment in time. She too could sense the discord in Sunset's voice and wanted to see if there was anything she could do to make her happy again. "What are you scared of, Mommy?"

"Things that are far too complicated for you three to understand..." Sunset said, looking back at The Dazzlings with a smile once again. "This world has many ups and many downs, but right now, you don't need to worry about me. I'll be fine. Always have been, always will be..."

"Are you sure about that, Mommy?" Aria said, wondering if Sunset was finally starting to lie to her, Adagio and Sonata.

"Trust me, Aria," Sunset went on as she turned another corner, making sure that their trip wasn't hindered by the traffic. "I'm fine. There's nothing for you three to worry about..."

She hoped that her words would be enough to quell The Dazzlings' concerns for her. To her surprise, it worked and they were now alright with the fact that Sunset was afraid of something they knew nothing about. However, she now wondered how much longer she could keep Adagio, Aria and Sonata from discovering the truth...


After some time had passed, The Dazzlings finally caught a glimpse of the school they were about to spend their first day in. It was a rather pristine place with graffiti-free brick walls and completely intact windows. They could see how wonderful this school looked and were eager to get inside its' walls to learn things that would aid them on the journey ahead.

They could also see some kids playing in the playground behind the school. There were kids with footballs, kids on a see-saw, kids playing on a hopscotch grid and even some kids playing with marbles. Each one of they looked as happy as could be and it warmed the hearts of Adagio, Aria and Sonata to know that the kids had some freedom from the school's walls every now and again.

"Well, here you are, girls." Sunset said as she stopped the car, got out of it and opened up the passenger door so that Adagio, Aria and Sonata could let themselves out and take their bags with them. She was happy to know that her former-enemies-turned-children were taking a big step forward from their previous experiences with Sunset and Twilight.

"So, how long are we gonna be here for?" Adagio asked, showing some curiosity as to how long Sunset planned on leaving them here at the school. She had been told that they'd be on their own once they made it inside, but the question plaguing Adagio was how long they'd be without Sunset.

"I'll be back at precisely 3:00 PM to pick you three up," Sunset said, tussling each of their hairstyles gently. "While you're here, try to make some friends as well. You never know when they could help you out of tough situations..."

"Alright then, Mommy," Aria said, showing some sign of hope from Sunset's words. She had spent over 6 years under her care and had started to appreciate all the truthful words that Sunset spoke to them. "We'll try..."

"I'll be looking forward to seeing all your new friends as well," Sunset said as she got back in the car and shut the door behind her. Once she had, she turned it on so that she could now make her way back to Twilight. "I'll see you soon, girls!"

Once Sunset had driven off, Adagio, Aria and Sonata walked down the cobblestone path towards the school, seeing the structure getting bigger and bigger as they neared its' doors. At first they were a little worried, but if Sunset could overcome her fears, then they could overcome theirs as well.

Adagio opened the double doors and led Aria and Sonata inside, holding the door graciously for the two of them like an angel sent down from heaven. Once her two sisters were inside the building, Adagio walked in after them. She and the rest of The Dazzlings saw another sight which had long since been forgotten from their minds.

The interior of the school was quite clean as well, with a number of clean white tiles covering the floors that The Dazzlings stood on. The walls were covered with steel lockers with combination locks sealing off the contents inside. They almost wondered what was hidden inside what at some points in time.

Once they'd seen what there was to see, they took a walk down the halls of the school to find out where their lockers were. They passed by many kids along the way, doing all sorts of school-related stuff. Mostly just walking and talking to one another. This seemed relatively normal for anyone other than The Dazzlings, but to them they were wondering why they did this sort of thing.

"So, what do we have to do, Dagi?" Sonata decided to ask as they continued to aimlessly wander down school hallways to find their lockers. She could tell that their search was proving fruitless, so she asked Adagio what was their plan of action.

"We just need to find our lockers and get the day started," Adagio said as she and the other Dazzlings went down another hallway full of lockers. "Mommy said that the guide to our first day here would be on a list in our lockers somewhere..."

Eventually, she found three lockers with The Dazzlings' names on each of them. The names were spelled perfectly and were written in their skin colours as well. She smiled at this sight and put her hand on her locker's handle. Once she did so, Aria and Sonata followed her example and did the same with their doors.

Adagio, Aria and Sonata saw a list of the day's lessons on the shelf of the locker. They reached in and grabbed the list. Once they had procured said lists, they took them out of the locker and brought it up to their faces. They did this so that they could read what was on the front of it.

"I don't know half of the things on this list, but I don't even care!" Sonata said, showing some enthusiasm when she saw all the things on the list she'd been given. "They all look pretty fun!"

"According to this list, the first thing we have today is Literacy in class C1." Adagio said, identifying all the lessons on the list that she'd been given. There were a lot of things here, all allocated by name, time and even classroom number.

"So, where do we go now?" Aria said as she took her purple backpack off of her bag and slipped the note into it, so that it was secure. Once the note was inside, she put the bag in the locker so that she wouldn't lose it.

"I like how this list also comes with a map of the place." Adagio said as she picked up the map nearby and opened it up for The Dazzlings to look at. She could see all the classroom numbers and what would be taught inside each and every one of them. She could see classroom C1 at the end of the hall they stood in.

"Come on, Ari. You too, Sonny." Adagio said as she put the map in her golden bag with her own schedule for the day. Once she did, she put her bag in the locker as well, so that it too was safe from any attackers. Once that was done, she waited for Sonata to do the same with her sea-blue backpack.

Once all the bags were put away, Adagio, Aria and Sonata took the specially marked keys that said 'Take these keys with you at all times' and closed their lockers up. Once this act was done, they used the special locks that hung from a nearby thin hole in the lockers and used them to close the lockers up, so that only they could get in and out of them. They put the handle and the thin line through the lock's metal hook and pushed the hook down into the lock itself, so that the lock was sealed.

Once the lockers were sealed, The Dazzlings made their way over to classroom C1. They walked over to the door and stopped at it.

"Now then, girls. I don't know much about this whole 'school' thing, but from what Mommy told us, it's a good first impression that could determine how things shape out for us here. Meaning that how we behave for the other kids and even for the teacher could decide how we're treated here."

"And this effects us how?" Aria decided to ask, wondering what Adagio's words meant to her and Sonata.

"I think Mommy means that our behaviour is treated very seriously here." Adagio responded to her two sisters.

"So, if we're good girls, we'll be treated good here," Sonata said, finally understanding what Adagio meant by the words she'd been telling her. "But if we're bad girls, our time at school will be bad."

"I hope that you're telling the truth, Dagi..." Aria said as she watched Adagio open the door to their unescapable judgement inside. Now The Dazzlings' fates were in their own hands...


Meanwhile, Sunset drove down the streets with that chill resurfacing again. She needed to find out what exactly had her on edge. She had so many thoughts in her head, thoughts of The Blasters and what they planned on doing to the Human World.

She was about to get to the street where her house was, when she saw a massive flash of red and blue light appear in front of her. Shocked by this occurrence, she lost control of the car for a brief moment. She was able to regain control if it however, and she drove it onto the street so that it was out of harm.

Once she stopped the car and got out, she saw that the flash of colour had turned into an electrified orb of blue and red energy. She could see three humanoid figures showing up in the ball of red and blue energy and knew exactly who they were. The energy finally dispersed into streaks of lightning which disappeared rapidly.

When the lights had finally stopped, The Blasters stood in the road with smiles plastered onto their faces. They walked over to Sunset and saw it in her face that she now knew what they were.

"Why hello, Sunset Shimmer," Fortissimo said as he finally walked onto the streets as well, so that the four of them were all out of harm's way. "I presume you've been doing well over the past few years?"

"Save it, Fortissimo. I now know what you truly are..." Sunset said, remembering all the knowledge that she and Twilight had been collecting over the years. "You're The Dazzlings' brothers. The fabled brothers of three insidious girls who almost sent our world on a spiral of self-destruction."

"You've learned of our true selves?" Allegro said, looking a little surprised by this action. He hadn't expected Sunset Shimmer to have known about this until they were at least at his mercy.

"So answer me this, Sirens," Sunset decided to go on. "What business do you villains have with the Human World?"

"Us the villains? A rather bizarre way to think about that, Miss Shimmer..." Orchestral said as his pendants glowed brightly once again. "I assure you, we are no villainous heathens. Nor were our little sisters. But alas, you failed to notice that their intentions were pure and absolute and as such, this is the mess you find yourself in..."

"You might be able to realize our true selves, but what you fail to realize is our purpose..." Fortissimo said, as he and the other Blasters closed in on Sunset, getting her to walk backwards to avoid their chilling presence.

"Let me guess, you're planning to spread both discord and happiness and feast off of it?" Sunset took a wild and rather obvious guess at The Blasters' insidious plans for domination as she stepped backwards. "That's usually how you stupid Lyrican Sirens work, isn't it?"

"Idiot," Allegro said, showing a rather unimpressed look on his face. "Our plan is far more complex than that."

"But in order to tell you our desires, we must speak an old Lyrican prophecy for you to listen to." Orchestral said as he, Allegro and Fortissimo stopped in their tracks, right before Sunset was about to fall into the road.

"Blissen and Furen, like light and dark are one in the same and have the same mark. The war had been spoken of, pain and torment. But there was one way for us all to repent..." Fortissimo rhymed in the hope that he would confuse Sunset Shimmer. "The Dazzlings and Blasters, with powers almighty will sing one last song of serendipity. A song of resurrection, of rebirth and life. To revive all the Sirens erased by the strife..."

"We'll give you some time to dwell on that little riddle, but as of now, we have more important matters for us to get back to..." he said as the portals opened up once again for The Blasters to use. "Toodles!"

"Wait!" Sunset reached out for The Blasters right as they were phasing through the portal to another location of unknown value to them. She was too late to speak to them, and The Blasters had vanished right in front of her own, unblinking eyes.

"What did he mean by The Dazzlings and Blasters?" she was completely unaware of the vital piece of information that Fortissimo had handed down to her. She could tell that there was such a thing as a song to revive the species, but not the part about both The Dazzlings and The Blasters being required to invoke its' power.

"I need to get back to Twilight. Surely she can piece this riddle together..." Sunset got back into the car and finished the drive down the roads to get back to her house. She hastily arrived back at her house and parked the car on the driveway. Once she did so, she walked back into the house, where Twilight had been waiting for her.

Author's Notes:

Well guys and gals, it's finally here. The long awaited-sequel to Dazzle Dazzle, Little Stars is finally starting! If you liked this opening of the story, make sure to leave all your comments down there in that little comment box below. It greatly helps me get back into the spirit of writing to know that there are talkative people who want to see me keep going with their positive reviews.

Now then, this story is going to be a little different then my first Siren Song story. The reason being is that The Dazzlings will be getting older now in this sequel and as such will be rediscovering their old powers. Things will also get rather hectic in other chapters so make sure that you're ready for anything this story can throw at you.

Well, it was good to talk to you guys again, but now I need to get back to Lauren. She's taking me to a Japonese play about the 47 Ponin...

Lauren: Shadowmane! We're going!

Me: Coming, gwandma! (Uses magic to fly over to her.)

Lauren: Now are you sure you're ready for this, my grandson? You are quite a young foal, after all...

Me: I tink I'ww manage.

Lauren: Well alright then...
