Back to Shadow and Flash.

Shadow: So you ready for this Sentry?

Flash: Ready when you are Shadow.

Twilight begins to speak.

Twilight: Citizens of the Crystal Empire. I, Princess Twilight Sparkle, will speak on behalf of Princess Cadence for this match.

-Crowd cheers.

Twilight: Fighters I wish you both the best of luck in your match. And may the best stallion win.

Shadow and Flash: Thank you, your highness.

-Twilight was nervous she didn't want them to fight because she knew how they both had feelings for her.

Twilight: Fighters are you ready?

Shadow and Flash: READY!

Twilight: Then let the match…BEGIN!

-Flash spread his wings and charged and landed a punch on Shadow's face and sent him skidding back near the edge of the ring. Shadow looked up and saw Flash charge at him and Shadow flip over him and grabbed one of Flash's back legs and slammed him to the ground. Shadow jumped up and was about to punch Flash as he laid on the floor. But Flash rolled out of the way of the attack and Shadow punched through the ring where Flash was and left a small crater.

Flash (in thought): Whoa. He's strong. I better avoid those punches.

-Shadow turned his head slowly to Flash, and then he suddenly vanished.

Flash: WHAT?!

Light Orb: Still fast as always I see.

-Everyone was shocked Shadow was just as fast as Flash.

Rainbow: I bet Flash didn't see that coming.

Spike: Yeah I almost forgot Shadow was fast too.

Sweetie Belle: Where'd he go?

Applejack: Hard to tell I can't see him.

Scootaloo: This is so cool.

Sunset: You can say that again.

-Now with Twilight, Cadence, and Shining Armor.

Shining Armor: Wow. I never seen a unicorn move that fast before.

Cadence: Indeed. Shadow is just full of surprises.

Twilight: He certainly is.

-Back to the fight.

Flash: So you're pretty fast too huh?

-Shadow appeared behind him but Flash flew up before could land a blow on him.

Flash: You gotta be faster than that to catch me!

Shadow: Trust me I'm just getting started, Sentry! (in thought) He kinda reminds me of Sonic.

Light Orb: I must say this pegasus is impressive.

Rainbow: Ohh this is so cool.

Fluttershy: They're both good fighters, this seems pretty even right now.

Sunset: Yeah.

Rarity: I must say these two can perform now I see why Twilight likes Flash.

Sunset growls a little.

Pinkie: Look they're going at it again!

Back to the fight.

-Shadow and Flash were delivering a fury of punches and kicks to each other. But Flash managed underneath Shadow and kick him into the air. Flash then took off into the air and went passed Shadow and then hit Shadow with a double-axe hammer to the back which sent back down where it looked like he was gonna land outside the ring.

Spike: Oh no. Shadow is gonna lose!

Rarity: Shadow can't do anything to save himself.

Applejack: Well it was fun while it lasted.

Sunset: Looks like Flash won this.

Pinkie: COME ON SHADOW!

-Back to Cadence, Shining Armor, and Twilight.

Shining: It's over Shadow can't do anything to save himself.

Cadence: I think you're right.

Twilight: I wouldn't say that just yet.

Shining and Cadence: What?

-Back to the fight.

Flash: Looks like I win.

-Shadow opened his eyes.

Shadow: Don't be so sure!

-suddenly Shadow used his magic and teleports back to the ring.

Flash: What?!

Rainbow: No way.

Spike: I didn't think Shadow could use his magic properly?

Applejack: Same here.

Sunset: Twilight must have taught him enough.

Rarity: Shadow must be a fast learner.

Rainbow: Lucky for him.

-Cadence, Shining, and Twilight.

Shining: Ok I did not see that coming.

Cadence: I'm guessing you taught him that?

Twilight: Yeah (thinking/smile): Shadow you're more than amazing, you're wonderful.

Light Orb: Thatta boy.

-Back to the two fighters.

Shadow: That was close.

Flash: Well aren't you just full of surprises.

Shadow: Something I picked up from Twilight.

Flash: Well let's see what else you can do!

Shadow: With pleasure! CHAOS SPEARS!

Light Orb: He's still using that technique?

-Flash avoided the spears but more were coming at him.

Flash: Here you can have them back!

-Flash used his wings to blow the chaos spears back at Shadow. Shadow used his speed to avoid his redirected attacks.

Rainbow: Sweet Celestia, That's FAST! (speaking nervously)I mean not as fast me considering I'm the fastest in Equestria, but compared to the average pony..

Applejack: We get it Dash. You're fast.

-Back to Shadow.

Shadow: Impressive. Let me show you another one of my techniques. SPIN DASH ATTACK!

-Then Shadow then curled up and spin-dashed towards Flash.

Flash: What the?!

Flash put his two front hooves up trying to push back Shadow's spin attack.

Flash(in thought) Damn he's strong, I can't hold him back.

-Flash managed to get around Shadow and kicked(bucked) the curled up Shadow back to the ground crashing into the arena floor leaving a crater where Shadow landed.

Rainbow: Ouch. That looked like it hurt.

Fluttershy: I hope he's ok.

Rarity: I think he may be out?

Sunset: You may be right.

Pinkie: GET UP SHADOW!

-With Armor, Cadence and Twilight.

Shining: Well it was a good match while it lasted.

Cadence: Twilight you ok?

Twilight: I'm ok.(thinking) Come on Shadow get up.

-Flash flew down to the ground a couple of feet away from Shadow, who was lying on the ground.

Flash(breathing heavily): Well Shadow it looks like it's over.

Shadow: Don't be so sure.

Flash: What?!

Shadow got up slowly tired like Flash was.

Shadow: I got to say Sentry you're one hell of a fighter.

Flash: Same to you, but I think we both know that you've been holding back this whole time. So why don't you show us your true form.

Shadow: What? Why?

Flash: Because I rather fight you at your best.

Shadow: Well, it has been awhile since I last changed forms.

Flash: So what do you say?

Shadow: Ok here I go.

-Shadow closed his eyes and began glow with a white aura around.

Rainbow: What the heck is happening?

Spike: I don't know but I'm afraid.

-Soarin, Cheese Sandwich, and Big Mac come out to see what's going on.

Soarin: Hey Rainbow me and the guys decided to(slowly looks at the ring)...What the heck going on?

Cheese: Yeah and what's happening to Shadow?

Pinkie: HE'S SHINY!

Big Mac: I've never seen a unicorn with abilities like his before.

Applejack: That's because Shadow isn't really a unicorn.

Soarin: Say what?

Cheese: I don't think I heard that right?(Rubs his ears)

Sunset: He's actually a hedgehog from another world.

Mac: A hedgehog?

Rarity: Yes, the princesses used their magic to bring him to Equestria because a villain from his world came to ours.

Soarin: Really?

Spike: Yeah but Shadow is tough, he beat like a dozen changelings by himself without even trying.

Soarin: Cool.

-Shadow was still glowing but his form started changing.

Cadence: What is going on?

Shining Armor: What's he doing?

Twilight: I think he's turning back to his real form.

Cadence and Armor: WHAT?!

Light Orb: I sense a dark presence nearby. Shadow be careful. I will return with help.(Light Orbs Vanishes)

-Mephiles and Sombra, who were making their way through the castle. They were passing a room when suddenly Sombra stopped while Mephiles was walking ahead. Sombra looked in the room and saw a certain mirror that was to familiar to him.

Sombra: So it's still here.

Mephiles turns around to see Sombra had stopped.

Mephiles: What is it?

Sombra: Nothing. Nothing at all.

Mephiles and Sombra entered the room where the Crystal Heart was.

Mephiles: There is it?

Mephiles walks up to the gem and picks it up, holding it in his hands while Sombra stood beside him.

Sombra: Mephiles why do you need that accursed Crystal Heart?

Mephiles: Patience my friend. Everything will be explained in time.

Mephiles then felt a energy of someone familiar.

Sombra: What is it Mephiles?

Mephiles: You remember the one I told you and Chrysalis about.

Sombra: The hedgehog? Is he here?

Mephiles: Yes he is. Sombra why don't go reintroduce yourself to your kingdom while I take care of business here.

Sombra: As you wish Mephiles.

-Sombra vanished in a cloud of black smoke leaving Mephiles.

Mephiles: Let the games begin.
