Author's Notes:

Ok, I'm struggling to think of other ways for Treble and Adagio to face each other and this arc of the story is killing me.

Enjoy the finale of the first story arc, the next one has a clearer path to follow

Adagio began styling her hair at her dresser as she prepared for meeting Treble. Her trap was set and the bait was laid, all that was left was to put Treble on the right path long enough for that little magic barrier that he had developed from being around the girls to fade away. This would allow her seduction spell to take effect, making him drawn to her like a magnet. She didn't want him to be like a mindless slave, so the spell would let him keep his personality but he would become loyal to only her.

"What do you think Aria, does my hair look good enough for my big strong Treby?" She asked with a grin.

"What I think is that you've lost sight of our plan." Adagio turned to his sister.

"What did you just say?" Aria got off the bed and came face to face with Adagio.

"Our plan was to use the magic those girls have to take over this world then get back to Equestria! Instead, you've become completely obsessed with a boy who can't even speak in full sentences!" With a snarl Aria stormed out of the room. "You can do all this by yourself Adagio, I'm out."

"Where are you going exactly?"

"To make peace with those girls and actually try to fit in for once, don't try to stop me!" After that Adagio heard the door slam shut. She then heard it slowly open again and then close, Sonata had left to.

As Aria and Sonata made their way out of the apartment block they passed a man in a fedora and trench coat smoking a cigarette. "Evening ladies." They just nodded and continued walking. The man looked up at the building and smirked. "Alright then hero..." He took his cigarette out of his mouth and threw it at the building where a patch of dry grass was. "...try saving the day this time."


Treble was on his motorcycle on his way to school when he saw Aria and Sonata waving to him. He looked unsure but he then slowed down and stopped beside them. Sunset had decided to go back to her apartment to gather some things before going to school. He looked to the two girls with little patience present in his glare.

"Relax Treble, we have nothing to do with Adagio and her plan anymore." Aria explained, but Treble just gave them a sterner glare.

"It's true Treble, we don't want to go along with her anymore. We want to be friends with you and the girls." Sonata gave him an apologetic look that melted his heart. He looked to the two with a conflicted expression before sighing and nodding. Sonata hugged him and Aria rolled her eyes.

"Alright, here's the deal. Adagio has your sister in a locked room in Sunset Shimmer's apartment building, room 21B. You should be able to get there and get out with Vinyl before the magic field around you fades." Treble tilted his head.

"Oh, you have a little bit of magic surrounding you that protects you from her seduction magic." Sonata explained, receiving a nod.

"Now get going, we'll see you at school." Treble nodded and put his sunglasses on. Revving up his bike he shot off towards the building that his sister was being held in.

On the way there he had wanted to text Sunset about it but he had accidentally left his phone at Pinkie's house. Slapping his forehead he sped up.


Once he pulled up alongside the building he leapt off the bike and sprinted towards the entrance, not nothing the slowly growing fire on the other side of the building. He opened the front door and sprinted up the stairs until he was on the third floor. He slowly walked down the hallway looking at each door carefully until he came to room 21B. Knowing the layout of these type of buildings he walked over to the wall at the side of the door, on the other side was the bedroom. He smirked and preformed a knock he and Vinyl had used when they were kids. A few seconds later he received a response from her.

He pulled away from the wall and stared daggers at the door. He readied his shoulder and charged the door, forcing it open but not damaging it. Adagio yelped at the sudden burst. She looked around in a panic until her sights fell upon Treble and she gave a sly grin.

"Well well well, looks like you've fallen into my-"

*SMACK!!!*

Her sentence was interrupted by Treble giving her a mighty slap across the face, that could be heard from two rooms down. She fell to the ground while holding her cheek, a dark red handprint now forming. She shakily lifted her head and looked at the enraged boy she had dared to mess with looking down at her with an unholy rage. He gave an animalistic growl before turning to the bedroom door and unlocking it.

Vinyl quickly ran out of the room and jumped into her brothers open arms while planting a quick peck on his cheek. She remained in her brothers protective embrace before looking down at the shell shocked Adagio. She let go off Treble and swung her foot back, then planting it firmly between her former captors legs, destroying any chance of offspring.

The twins nodded in satisfaction before leaving the room and walking hand in hand down the flights of stairs. Vinyl signed that she wanted something to eat and Treble nodded. They hopped onto Trebles bike and sped towards the nearest fast food restaurant they could find.

Adagio shakily got to her feet and growled. "They will pay...for this!" She looked down the hallway to see Sunset getting of the elevator and heading to her room. "Yes...that'll do nicely." She began to follow Sunset down the hallway with her legs shaking. Neither of them knew of the large fire that would soon spread around the whole building.


Treble had stopped off at Pinkie's to pick up his phone and say hi to Maud, surprisingly the two of them were good friends. He then took Vinyl to a burger joint and she scoffed down her bacon cheeseburger. As they were eating Treble looked out the window from their booth. He saw a large cloud of smoke coming from the apartment blocks. It only took him a second to realise that it was Sunsets building that was on fire.

He scribbled a message onto a napkin and handed it to Vinyl before shooting out the door and speeding down the road to Sunsets building. Vinyl did as the message instructed and texted the girls about what was happening.

Within a few minutes Treble arrived at the scene. There were three fire trucks around the building with a small army of firemen trying to put the fire out. Treble looked around all the ambulances that had been brought out and looked through the crowd best he couldn't find Sunset anywhere, that meant she was in the building. He tried to run into the building but was stopped by a pair of cops.

"Stand back sir." One said in monotone. Treble shot him a glare and backed up. He then charged forward and slipped past the cops. "Stop that kid!" Treble sprinted towards the building entrance and jumped through the glass doors. He looked around at the sight before him, nearly the entire first floor was set ablaze. Luckily a path to the stairs was clear enough for him to sprint up. He dodged a falling support beam and rushed around the hallway, not knowing what room Sunset was in.

"SUNSET?*cough* SUNSET?" He yelled out. He heard coughing coming from the room he had passed that sounded like the girl he was looking for. He called her name one more time and got a response.

"TREBLE?! TREBLE HELP ME!!!" He suddenly felt a surge of energy and burst through the door. When he entered he found Sunset stuck under a piece of the collapsed cieling. He rushed over and they began pushing the broken piece off her with great effort. They failed a few times before Treble gathered all of his strength and flipped the piece off her. "Treble...I think my leg is broken." Treble winced as he looked at the injured leg.

Thinking quickly he picked Sunset up bridal style and she wrapped her arms around his neck, depending on him to get her out of there. He tore a piece of his sleeve off and put it over Sunsets mouth and nose to prevent her from breathing in more smoke, but leaving himself vulnerable. He was starting to feel weak, he had suffered a few severe burns from busting through a flaming door but he pressed on. He was about to walk out of the room when he heard the voice of his sister's former captor.

"Please...help me!" He looked back to see Adagio on her stomach and trapped under a fallen beam. Treble just stared at her before turning around. "Wait! Please help me!"

"Go..." He turned to her. "...to hell." With that he watched at the remaining parts of the cieling fell onto Adagio.


The girls all looked up at the burning building with worry, many of the student of Canterlot high had gathered as well. They all watched as Treble slowly walked out of the fire with Sunset in his arms. He walked for a bit, gaining some distance from the flames. Once he had he set Sunset down and smiled, he gave a thumbs up to the girls before collapsing.
