Guitar Hero: Elements of Rock
Chapter 7: Turning Neighponese
Previous Chapter Next ChapterThey got off of the boat and stared in awe at the sight before them. Neighpon, in all of its technological glory. Pinkori looked extremely happy, seeing as she based her entire stage persona around this mystical land.
"Oh my Celestia, this is super kawaii, girls!" She exclaimed. Ponies were staring at them, pointing as if they were the spectacle.
"What's going on! I'm hungry!" Pinkie shouted, going up to a couple, yelling "hentai harajuku, arigato!" The couple laughed nervously, covering their faces as they walked away. "What did I do!?"
"You're scaring them," Flutter Tesla explained, "let me try," she said as she approached another couple, saying, "Osoreirimasuga, watashi to watashi no yūjin wa, osoraku nani ka taberu mono o eru koto ga dekiru basho o shitte imasu ka?"
The girls stared at Flutter Tesla, shocked at what they just heard.
The male pony said, "Naze iesu, saiai no hinba, umaku anata no konomi ni awaserubekidearu tsuno o magatta tokoro ga arimasu!"
Flutter Tesla nodded and said, "Domō arigatō, yūjin," and the couple nodded as they walked away.
Twilight asked, "Where did you-"
"College, but there's a place to eat around the corner! Hurry!" Flutter Tesla exclaimed as she led her friends around the corner.

"Dodge Fried Tofu!?" Rainbow Sparks shouted exasperatedly, "I came here to get Neighponese food, not this!"
"Well, when in Neighpon..." Flutter Tesla reminded her friend. She then walked up to the counter.
" Watashi no yūjin to watashi wa, 6-yō no hyō o goran kudasai eru koto ga dekiru?"
The pony behind the counter looked up and said, "Tsumari, 5-jikan-machi, misu ni narimasu,"
Flutter Tesla then said, " No tame ni moshi nai Erements of Roku?"
The pony's eyes widened as he said, "right this way, I believe a table just opened up!" as he led them to a table.
Flutter Tesla smiled and said, "Eat up. It's on me."

"I can't go out there!" Flutter Tesla said, shivering in a corner back stage.
"But darling, you simply must!" Rarity argued, "they're chanting your name!"
"T-they are?"
"Why yes, can't you hear it?"
Flutter Tesla slowly got up and inched towards the stage. As she got closer, she heard cries of 'frutter tesra! Frutter Tesra!"
Emboldened, she went onstage to greet her adoring fans.
"FRUTTER TESRA! FRUTTER TESRA! FRUTTER TESRA!" and the cheers erupted as she took her place behind the microphone. Pinkori playing guitar, Caseyjack playing drums, and Twilight on bass were stoking the crowd. Flutter Tesla cleared her throat as the guitar and drums started up. Her cue came on.
You walk on like a filly in suffering
Won't even bother now to tell me why
You come alone, letting all of us savor the moment
Leaving me broken another time
You come on like a bloodstained Wonderbolt
Leave me alone, let me be this time
You carry on like a holy colt pushing Celestia
I don't want mention, the reason I know...
----
Come ride with me
Through the veins of history
I'll show you alicorns
So guilty and forlorn
And how can we win
When fools can be prince
Don't waste your time
Or time will waste you
Flutter Tesla's voice flowed like velvet.
----
The quartet bowed as Pinkori threw out the next song hook. Flutter Tesla's cue came on.
Look into my eyes, what do you see?
Cult of equinality
I know your anger, I know your dreams
I've been everything you want to be
I'm the cult of equinality
Like Celestia and Prince Shining
I'm the cult of equinality
Cult of equinality
Cult of equinality...

The quartet bowed once more and they went offstage. Tom Dan was there to greet them.
"That was wonderful, girls!" He said, "I'll see if I can get anything lined up for you,"
SIX MONTHS LATER
"You WHAT?" Caseyjack roared.
"I signed you up for the Surreal Life, girls," Tom Dan explained, "come on, it'll be fun, like a sleepover!"
"That show's for has-beens!" Twilight yelled, "we're at the top of our game!"
"Oh, are you, now?" Tom asked, his voice becoming more sinister as his body expanded, an antler and a goat horn popping out of his head. A bat wing and a dragon wing popped out of his back as his body grew more serpentine. His legs turned into a griffon claw, a lion paw, a reptile leg, and a goat hoof. His tail turned into a dragon's tail with a tuft of fur at the end. "Now what were you saying?"
Twilight stuttered, "D-d-discord!"
"How very observant," Discord noted, "and since you don't have your precious Elements, we play by my rules," Discord pulled out the contract, which seemed significantly longer this time, "ah, yes, here it is..."If the Elements of Rock refuse to complete a gig, Discord has the authority to throw Ponyville into chaos!"
He snapped his fingers
