Chapter 02: Pep Rally in CHS!

The scene begins to open up back at Canterlot High as we begin to see how things are going at this time. Everything seems to be going smoothly, the students are out on the campus, each doing their daily school subject or heading towards somewhere. But deep inside, we find the five members of the Rainbooms in the library, Applejack lean on a chair looking at a book, Rarity by a shelf to find a book, Pinkie Pie siting on a ladder to read a book, even Fluttershy was on the ground to read a book to Angel Bunny from her bag. While Rainbow Dash was checking behind the shelf, earlier, they got a big surprise when Sunset came back to them in bringing forth an old visitor they knew, Megan, but also got a chance to meet her siblings Danny & Molly. Goldie’s group & Ben & Nyx were just coming in when they saw Sunset, only to be surprised in seeing some new faces joining them.

“Megan….wha…when did you come here?” Goldie yelped out in seeing who was suddenly here before them.

“And who are these two, never seen them on school grounds?” Jack Zen asked off in seeing Danny & Molly with the girl they last recall came from Equestria…sorta.

“Hello everyone, these are my brother & sister, Danny & Molly. We came here to visit.” Megan spoke off to introduce her brother & sister to those that do not know them.

“Visit, from where?” Ben asked off in not knowing where Megan & her siblings even came from.

“Oh right, you don’t know….but Megan here was a part of the crazy stuff that went down during the Battle of the Bands. Don’t worry, she’s really nice, so are her siblings.” Pinkamena spoke off in stating this to Ben & Nyx of their world in not recalling that Megan played a role with the Dazzlings some time ago.

“But this is the first time you met her siblings, isn’t it?” Nyx asked off in pondering that Pinkamena shouldn’t know of Megan’s siblings.

“Let’s just say, I got a sense for knowing a good friend when I see one.” Pinkamena smiled off to randomly state a strange claim all of a sudden. “Hey Megan, these here are our new Canterlot student buddies, Ben Mare & Nyx.” She smile off in introducing Ben & Nyx to those that are new here.

“Wow, you look so much like them!” Danny stated to say this in seeing how much Ben & Nyx are the splitting image of their pony counterparts.

“Ssshhh…don’t tell them that!” Molly hushed her brother to not say something so unexpected.

“Ugh…okay?” Ben raised an eyebrow slowly in thinking maybe these new friends from out of town, might be perhaps those related to when he & Twilight saw videos of themselves at this school; or something close to it.

“It’s cool guys, Ben & Nyx are kinda in the ‘know’ zone about outside unknown alien worlds, like Equestria.” Rainbow Dash spoke out from her spot in telling the others that Ben & Nyx know a so-so about the magic stuff.

“So, what’s going on here?” Nyx asked off in changing the subject on another topic here.

“I was just explaining to the others about seeing something, a girl I think by her difference in appearance was doing something.” Sunset stated off in mentioning this as she was pacing herself around the spot to think. “She was definitely doing something to the statue….or was going to. We caught her, but she escape on a bus before we could see her face.” She explained out this matter of what was concerning her that someone was messing with the school’s statue, but escape to not stay long.

“Um…Do you think it’s possible she came through the portal from Equestria?” Fluttershy spoke up in being curious as she lifted to pet Angel Bunny’s head which he enjoyed while they were on the topic.

“No, I'm pretty sure I woulda noticed that, just like I noticed Megan & her company.” Sunset stopped her thinking pace to state the matter with a cautious expression that if whoever was messing with the statue was from Equestria; she notice it, but that wasn’t the case. “This may sound strange to say, but…I think she was from over here.” She held out a right hand in stating that whoever that girl was might be someone from this side.

“As in this place that your side calls Canterlot High’s Universe, or perhaps Equestria High’s Universe, or maybe there are too many thoughts in how to shorten it, or…” Pinkamena was stating off in what this place was called by differently addressing the world from Equestria Prime & would have gone on except…

“Easy sis. I think we know what they meant.” Goldie calmed his sister to clamp a mouth on her to stop & settle for a minute, they get what she’s saying.

“Or we can call it EQG Universe, that’ll be easy if where Pony Twilight came from is known as Equestria Prime, but we call it Equestria for shorter needs.” Pinkie Pie smiled off in suddenly saying something else here that can help them out in stating what this universe world of theirs is called or to be called.

“Well shorting things is nice & all, but why EQG, what’s it mean?” Jack Zen raised an eyebrow in not truly understanding why the girl choose’d such a name.

“Short for Equestria Girls, but maybe some might be bothered by it. Although the ‘G’ could stand to be for Generation, or Genesis, of G-Nexus, or…or….or….” Pinkie Pie would have gone on to explain different reasons if Jack Zen didn’t cover her mouth like Goldie did with Pinkamena.

“Okay, okay….EQG is fine, sorry I had to make it be explained more!” Jack Zen apologized off to say this in not needing a longer explanation than needed.

“Definitely Pinkie Pie.” Danny & Molly nods off in seeing that this was a Pinkie Pie version of a pony they know, both her & Pinkamena.

“So back to the main subject, you’re saying this mysterious girl is from this side than from Equestria?” Ben asked off in being curious about the subject of their talk here of who Sunset saw didn’t come from another world.

“Well, dat there’s a relief.” Applejack spoke off in saying something that caught everyone’s attention. “De last thing we need at this time, another magical so-and-so bent on world domination comin' over from Equestria.” She leans apart her arms while holding her book in before laying it down to cross her arms behind her back, in commenting about the last thing they wanna tangle against is another magical enemy. “Not meaning former company included.” She gave a wink out towards someone that AJ was referring to.

“Oh Applejack.” Sunset lightly smiled in being ‘okay’ in taking that comment in knowing that in the past, SHE came to this world in planning to dominate & conquer this world before she was reformed.

“Agreed. I for one have no interest in another fight against the powers or forces of evil magic.” Rarity spoke off from where she was in professing to the matter in agreement in a noble refusal. “Plus, the wear & tear on my wardrobe is just too much to keep up with. What with them, followed by Dark Terrorist & Deception menaces.” She showed her right arm in waving out a hand in stating that fighting against such forces make too many tears in outfits that she rather NOT deal with. Afterwards, Rarity took out her compact to get a powder to ally makeup onto her face to smile in being beautified.

“Still, a mysterious figure snooping around the portal.” Sunset issued this off in being serious about what was their focus of center attention that she grasp at this. “Don't you wanna know what she was up to?” She turn to her friends in asking this with a smile, thinking this could be something intriguing; after the peaceful times here that been quiet, this is the first exciting thing in a while.

“Ohohohooo….I don't even wanna think about what she was doing.” Fluttershy shudders a bit to stand up to hold Angel Bunny, feeling frighten of what a mysterious figure was doing by the statue.

“It has been over a while since the Apocalypse Order event, but seeing that didn’t count on magic, but science & tech, magical threats didn’t seem to count, I guess.” Goldie stated off in knowing that from the last case of an adventure they had, things got peaceful, but of course, that didn’t involve any magical problems.

“Still, what was she up to?” Molly asked off not knowing what the strange girl that came was doing to the statue.

“I don’t know, wish we had the answer.” Danny shrug off to say this in not knowing the answer himself.

“Well, you don't have to worry.” Suddenly, Rainbow Dash came from around the side of the book shelf in sounding confident in herself. “Because I've totally figured out who it was!” She boasted off to say this in holding up a book in her hand to point it out to the gang in solving the case.

“Ooh, ooh! Can I make the guesses first?” Pinkie Pie pops near Rainbow Dash in being excited to try out this ‘guessing game’ matter. “A nighttime statue cleaner? A magical portal maintenance maintainer? A gardener?!” She held up a book about a statue cleaner at night, another book on someone maintaining a magic portal, & lastly was the pink girl smiled up to her friend in who was by the statue was a gardener for the field; all of which made Rainbow feel annoyed by such radios ideas it was any of those.

“Ugh, no….But seeing as how they got off a bus from the city…” As Rainbow Dash spoke off, she lightly pushed Pinkie Pie away to continue her theory. “And got back on a bus headed TO the city…” She stated about how the culprit i question came from on a bus that came from the city, then return from whence they came. “I’ll bet they go to…” She smiled off in having solved where & who the suspicious character is to them as many will know.

“Crystal Prep.” All of the Rainbooms but Sunset, Megan, Danny, Molly, Ben & Nyx responded off with a dry moan in their tone in announcing who the culprit was; someone that attends to a certain school.

“Crystal Prep, what’s that?” Megan asked off in not knowing what kind of school that is since last time she was here.

“It’s an old school me & Nyx use to go to before we got transferred here.” Ben lightly stated to say in feeling like he knows where this conversation is heading.

“Yep. With the Friendship Games starting tomorrow, it’s obvious that they'd totally try to prank us by defacing the Wondercolts statue. Our school’s symbol.” Rainbow Dash declared forth in stating her theory of the matter with an upset tone in stating what Crystal Prep was gonna do to their beloved statue.

“The nerve of some people! They took the chance whenever I was taking a test or powdering my nose to getaway doing such things! Those meanies!” Pinkamena protest forth in stating this about what those Crystal Prep bunch did in messing around their statue. “Oops, present company included.” She apologized to Ben & Nyx in recalling they once attended that same school before they got transferred.

“Question. Why would anyone take a bus all the way from the city just for that?” Sunset shrug off her shoulders in not getting why someone take a long hour or so ride from the bus to just prank another school’s statue, it doesn’t make sense.

“Because de Crystal Prep Shadowbolts are our biggest rivals!” Applejack got all serious in mentioning this about who their rivals are from Crystal Prep.

“And because that's just the sorta thing in what the students at Crystal Prep would do.” Rarity remotely stated this off with a gloom mood to cross her arms in knowing how Crystal Prep students do things.

“And also because even though they beat us in naturally everything!” Rainbow Dash issued off to say this while showing a Canterlot High yearbook showing a page of their two school teams. “Soccer, tennis, golf…” From each page showed what were the Wondercolts on the left side not winning while in third, second & first place were students of Crystal Prep holding soccer trophies, tennis, golf, & more, each one showed the winners smirking in glory while the losers are seen suffering humiliation to which they break down in tears. “No matter what, they still have to gloat!” She showed it in front of Sunset’s face in having her get the big picture to her stump surprise in how things went, like a picture of the Wondercolt statue appearing to look like a circus clown; oh the humanity of it all when a prideful horse is made into a joke.

“They super glued that clown get up on the statue, ugh…it took the staff & me a week to get them all off! And those shoes…..oh….the clown shoes were not so funny for any kicks!” Pinkamena complained off in stating what she had to go through to clean up their statue, the worse of it all was the sticky glue…& the clown shoes…they were something to be troublesome.

“Wait a second, they did all that, & you two used to go there?” Danny asked off in looking at Ben & Nyx in not believing they use to be a part of a school that did such terrible pranks.

“We used to, but we were never like that, honest. You have to believe us.” Nyx spoke off truthfully in stating that they are not like the other Crystal Prep students that do mean pranks.

“Aw, its okay, we believe you wouldn’t do those things.” Molly calmly spoke to support Nyx in being very friendly, Nyx smiled in liking how good a friend Molly is for understanding.

“The games happen every four years, so whoever is competing are different.” Ben stated off to say this in knowing how the system works.

“Did you know any of this Sunset Shimmer?” Megan asked the girl before them that was here the longest to know anything about such things.

“Honestly Megan, I was only here for three years, I didn’t even compete in the one before this.” Sunset explained that she was only here for 3 years, she was never around for the first games. “But still, it seems kinda silly to me.” Sunset shrug off to say in pushing the book Rainbow Dash showed them down in plainly stating that such matters seem kinda silly & doesn’t seem like a big deal.

“Silly?!” All the Rainbooms except Sunset & even Goldie’s group responded back in shock which made Sunset yelp back surprised as she, Ben, Nyx & Megan’s group can tell the others of Canterlot High did NOT find this silly at all.

“So I guess you think the Friendship Games are silly, too. Hugh Sunset?” Rainbow Dash narrow her eyes in questioning what Sunset’s thoughts were about the games being a silly thing too than in not caring as much.

“Well, you got to admit, it's not like we'll be fighting the powers of evil magic or anything else for that matter.” Sunset spoke off to lightly give a logical explanation in what they are facing is not as serious as evil forces of magic that they dealt with before; amount ‘other’ encounters in this world.

“No, we won’t be facing that. However, we'll be fighting against a school full of meanies.” Fluttershy approached Sunset to rest her worried hand on her shoulder in what they are going to face that is not evil forces of any kind; it’s the school foe type. “Not everything has to be magical to be important. And not everything about aliens or organize terrors & crimes have to be too.” She shrug off her right hand in stating that not everything has to be a major event of magic, aliens, or organize crime societies.

“You're right Fluttershy. I'm sorry.” Sunset smiled a bit to rub her back shoulder in apologizing to her friend for not fully being acceptable to this claim conclusion. “I know it's a big deal for you all.” She stated off to say this in knowing how important this is to those of Canterlot High.

“Hoff…That's putting it mildly, darling.” Rarity scoffs a bit to briefly approach to speak up about the matter here. “They're still revamping the playing field in preparation for the games.” She stated this off that they don’t know what the school will be making that they are gonna compete in.

“Too bad Shadow Dragon & the others aren’t around to fill us in.” Ben sighs to say this in knowing that having someone to help them out in such moments would be nice, but…

“Unfortunately, even we’re not clear about such things.” Then coming from out of nowhere was none other than Shadow Dragon, followed by Iris Crystal, Terrorcreep, Tailtech, Shorty & Aquastroke.

“Hello everyone, look who’s here….oh, & an old familiar face….with two new faces?” Iris Crystal stated in who was here to meet them, but she & the others were surprises to see Megan here from their last knowing of the girl; but with new faces.

“Megan…what are you doing here, & who are these two?” Tailtech asked off in not knowing why Megan is here or who the other two children are.

“Danny & Molly, my siblings.” Megan smiled to say this introducing her family to the others here.

“Wait just a second here! Shadow Dragon, you came back? I thought you all we on a tough mission!” Goldie exclaimed to say this in last recalling the guy was on a tough assignment.

“We were, but we’re trying to take a little break in trying to track down suspicious movements from the Dark Terrorists & Cobra. We’re currently working with G.I. Joe to figure out their movement.” Shadow Dragon explained off in what they are currently doing at this time that requires much of their attention.

“Seriously, you’re working with the Joes; that is so awesome!” Rainbow Dash smiled off in thinking that was an awesome thing, they like many have heard of G.I. Joe, they are famous military bunch of soldiers that combat the evil Terrorist organization Cobra; if not knowing about Azure Phoenix’s secret military group in doing things no one should know, the Joes were more headline news.

“Would be, if it wasn’t constant work distracting us from staying to watch you all during the big games.” Terrorcreep shrug off to say this in looking a bit sadden that they are very busy when they really wanna see everyone during the games event.

“Oh my, you mean your work is too much that you might not come?” Fluttershy gasped a bit lightly in having heard this to realize what this could mean.

“We’re trying to make time, but Strikespell told us to trail the enemies, they & likely Galvatron are on the move that every time we nail them, they escape!” Shorty exclaimed that they were given a tough assignment to track down some enemy movements in suspicious areas to which they somehow manage to escape.

“But we came to check up on you all, wanting to see how things might go before the big day tomorrow comes.” Aqua stated to mention this in wanting to see those here before the big games begin tomorrow.

“You know what I don’t get, I just don't understand why there's this big rivalry?” Sunset shrug off her right hand in the air in being lost about something that was on the mind. “Aren't the supposed named: ‘Friendship Games’, supposed to be about our two schools getting along?” She held to wave her hands off in saying ‘Friendship Games’ to ponder why such an event, doesn’t have the meaning in its name of two schools getting along.

“Well ye see, it's kinda hard ta even get along wit’ someone who beats yah at everything. An’ we do mean anything we do, they do it better.” Applejack took the school yearbook from Rainbow Dash to point it up that they don’t get along with a school when they are always on a losing streak.

“Hugh…And not to mention, that school is full of arrogance & egotistical as well.” Tailtech huffs to say before crossing his arms to complain. “Those students….they all almost make me feel sick!” The guy groaned to complain in looking pretty much ticked off about that school.

“Tailtech, watch your language! It's true that they're good, but it doesn't mean that we have to be like them!” Iris Crystal lectures the young genius to be careful of his words, as that is not how they behave.

“And weren’t Ben & Nyx there, they aren’t all like how you say.” Megan pointed off that from what they were told, not all Crystal Prep students are alike; Ben & Nyx are accepting.

“Right, there are some good students…they’re just…like needles lost in a hay stack.” Ben was stating off at first, before getting down in recalling about the ‘good’ students at Crystal Prep including, someone he misses.

“Still, they will be pretty hard to beat.” Nyx stated off to say in knowing how tough it’ll be to beat the school she once went to, from knowing its strength.

“Well…Not anymore!” Rainbow Dash smiled off confidently to grab the book & throw it away from Applejack in stating this announcement. “This time around, things are gonna be different.” Rainbow Dash held out her left hand in boasting that this time during the games, things such as losing ain’t gonna happen now.

“I don't think so, Dash. We're still gonna lose.” Aquastroke shook her head in feeling a bit downhearted about any changes for a win.

The teens & junior teens looked surprised & confused of what Aqua had said; what was that supposed to even mean to sound like discouraging their motive?

“What makes you said that? I thought you'd always have confidence in winning.” Fluttershy asked off in being puzzled in what was getting into the Dragon Strike Force. “With you all here, we can win this game with a little support, right?” She kindly suggested this in thinking of something nice with those they know being around.

“Not this time.” Shorty shook his head off in stating that the issue is far more than the others think.

“Is it about your mission of tracking down three top enemies moving in suspicion?” Jack Zen asked off in thinking that with the Dark Terrorist, Apocalypse Order & Galvatron; that is a tall order to follow up through.

“While that maybe so, making to stick around to see some of the game events will be hard. But that isn’t the only reason.” Shadow Dragon stated off to say that the problem was only one short of another thing that had to be explained here.

“Crystal Prep Academy has one of our friends helping them. And I can guarantee that this school won't win this game so easily.” Terrorcreep exclaimed off to nod in stating this in agreement here.

“What do you mean?” Rarity raised an eyebrow in not truly following this discussion.

“A fellow named Jason is there, he was a part of our squad before…certain things happened. He was dubbed Mystic Knight, & you can expect him to be like a drill sergeant.” Tailtech explained about someone to watch out for someone that is also a part of Crystal Prep’s staff.

“Sounds scary to have a drill sergeant for a boarding school instead of some military school thing.” Danny stated off to say this in what it’s like to have a drill sergeant in a boarding school instead of a military school.

“The school was founded by Azure Phoenix’s family, after he retired, his son Strikespell took over…he runs a tight organize operation even for the students there. It’s all about bringing in the specially gifted students to go there where the school can secure their future of their special talents.” Ben explained in how Crystal Prep functions, those that are specially gifted or come with excellent performance are granted to be there to improve & be guided to have a successful future under the school’s guidance.

“There’s someone else still there that we wanted her to come, but…unlike us, she wasn’t lucky.” Nyx looked down in stating this in feeling a bit down in thinking about…a certain someone that they wish could have been here to which Ben pat her shoulder gently in agreement.

“Hey, hey, cheer up guys, remember, I said things are gonna be different & they are!” Rainbow Dash issue doff to state this in saying that not all was lost, she has a plan to turn things around for the games.

“What do you mean by that Rainbow Dash?” Sunset raised an eyebrow in not entirely following along that claim.

“Oh, you'll find out.” Rainbow Dash smiled off to confidently state this that what she has in mind, will be set in motion as she smiled to herself in thought.

Everyone was a bit curious to wonder what Rainbow Dash was suggesting, but even so…can that even help them out? The scene shifts a bit in changing location at this time…

--------------------------

At this moment, we soon see everyone was in the auditorium gym, in where many of Canterlot High’s students are seen sitting in setup chairs to the front of the stage. Standing by a mike was Principal Celestia & Vice-Principal Luna, in which they appeared to get ready for a big announcement.

“As I am sure many of you all know, tomorrow, Canterlot High School will be hosting our fellow students from Crystal Prep Academy.” Celestia announced this forth as we find the Rainbooms minus Rainbow Dash, Goldie’s group, Megan’s group, Ben & Nyx sitting on a high seat benches in the gym at the top to get a good view, though the expressions seem anything ‘BUT’ excitement. “As we join together in the spirit of excellence, sportsmanship, and fidelity, all of it to compete in the Friendship Games.” Celestia continued her speech in helping to boost morale & spirit of their students for the upcoming games.

Though after the speech, there were some unenthused cheers of low moan voices from the students & sparse applause that everyone was doing while their expressions read off, not looking forward to this, kind of atmosphere. Megan & her siblings saw the students of Canterlot High show such low self-inspiring spirit, even Sunset noticed that the students’ behavior suggested that like her friends, everyone does not have much looking forward to an event where they lose. And off by the side benches by the doors, the Dragon Strike Force’s members that could appear saw the matter of lack enthusiasm of the students which didn’t surprise or shock them much as they expected this.

“Well, that lift the spirit up…” Laxtinct sighs in seeing how that first little speech started off to go.

“What do you expect, Lax? There is no spirit for them to win it here…” Blazefist shook his head while groaning a bit, everyone’s spirit is not so high to compete when they feel they’ll lose.

“Blaze's right. We've always lose.” Shadow Dragon nods in agreement to know firmly of the results of the two schools.

“Come on, Ah sure think Rainbow’s got something ta fix this, right?” Flare Tiger spoke up in saying something with a more positive outlook.

“I like to see if she can try at least.” Icy stated to say in hoping Rainbow Dash can try something to help the school’s moral.

“Since the games only happen once every four years, I'm sure you're all very curious of what goes on.” Celestia spoke off in holding her smile to help build up spirit for the spirits to have their curiosity perked

“You mean other than us losing all the time?!” Flash Sentry was seen standing up from the top gym bench seat to shout off this remark message that their only curiosity; tis they never win against Crystal Prep.

“Well…that kinda ruin the moment.” Danny shrug off from nearby in seeing what was said ‘KILLED’ the mood.

And pretty much Flash’s remark about the concept of losing made both Principal Celestia & Vice-Principal Luna show a little…frown mood of annoyance in seeing this was not gonna get them anywhere; the students don’t have enough spirit to think they can win & so it’s resorted a sore loser behavior of an attitude.

“And that…is exactly why I've asked Rainbow Dash to come up and give you all a little…” Celestia & her sister smiled in preparing to bring a certain student up here to help the other students with something to motivate them, but… “Um… context.” She quickly tried to figure out the best way to describe Rainbow’s ideal planning while not knowing it, but turn to Rainbow Dash on the stage as the teen girl smiles in hearing that before taking the mike which created feedback for a bit.

“Thank you, Principal Celestia.” Rainbow Dash smiled off to thank her principle in allowing her to stand on stage as she clears her throat to prepare a speech. “I know a lot of you might think there's no way we can beat a fancy school like Crystal Prep at anything. Right?” She was walking on stage in giving the down-load issue of their case, wiggled her left hand’s fingers in stating the ‘fancy’ part about their competition that can’t be beat.

“Unless of course it's a "losing to Crystal Prep" competition; 'Cause we're really good at that!” Pinkie Pie was heard yelling out from her seat spot in answering off to a sarcastic claim with a remote attitude over the fact.

“Oh brother!” Saber Dragon slapped his forehead in seeing this was not working out at all.

“Huuuuagh!” Rainbow Dash groans with a frown in seeing Pinkie Pie’s little remark kinda ruined her first opening act here. “And I know many know, that CHS has never won the Friendship Games, even once. Not at all!” Rainbow Dash walked off to issue this claim in stating this factor & held up a left index finger to state how their school never won against Crystal Prep, not even once.

“Oh, dear. I hope this speech isn't meant to be motivational. Because it most certainly isn’t!” Rarity exclaimed to whisper this off to Sunset & Megan’s group in feeling Rainbow’s speech doesn’t sound too motiving about now.

As things were still continuing of Rainbow’s stage speech to her fellow students, a certain marching band sound is beginning to be heard; seems like something is bout to go off here.

“Crystal Prep students are super athletic, super smart, and super motivated. They’re chosen talented elites to be better than the normal average student.” Rainbow Dash issued off to point in stating what everyone here knows about the competition in what skills they bring to the field, all things in which many here seem to lack a bit. “But there's one thing that they aren't.” Rainbow Dash smiled off in stating that what their rival school maybe, there is something Crystal Prep isn’t….& that answer is… “And that is….They aren't Wondercolts!” She held up her left hand in proudly stating this factor that to all students of Canterlot High, they are Wondercolts, & things are about to change…

Suddenly without warning, a song is about to be heard called: ‘CHS Rally Song’ in which Rainbow Dash is about….to sing this motivational speech to the next level.

Rainbow Dash: We've fought magic more than once
And come out on top

As Rainbow Dash was issuing this little matter of what they fought against, the lights dim around her before the curtains were pulling back to reveal…the school marching band & a baton girl.

Chorus: Oh, oh

It sounded like the band was making a response, but it seem more around the baton girl as the band played mouth piece instruments. But, moving along…

Rainbow Dash: There's other schools, but none can make those claims

Next Rainbow Dash leans forward in issuing that no other school can make such a claim in having fought off against magic adversaries.

Chorus: Na, na-na-na-na, oh

As the chorus sang, many of the students from Octavia, Trixie Lulamoon, Bon Bon, Apple Bloom, Photo Finish & many others felt like this song speech was…intriguing to pay close attention to.

Rainbow Dash: Together we are Canterlot
Come and cheer our name

Now we see Rainbow Dash pointing off her index finger in stating who they are then held up her right arm to smile in wanting the students to come & cheer for them here.

Chorus: Oh, oh

The band plays while the chorus sang off in building more motion to the beat of what’s happening.

Rainbow Dash: This will be our year to win these games

Now Rainbow Dash stomp her foot in clutching her fist, stating forth that now, the next games coming up, will be the day that they can finally win the Friendship Games.

Rainbow Dash and chorus: We'll always be Wondercolts forever
And now our time has finally arrived
'Cause we believe in the magic of friendship
And you know, at the end of the day, it is we who survive

Now Rainbow Dash jumps off stage, as she begins to lead a marching band, marching across the front floor as the students watch their act. Rainbow Dash was announcing their moment of their time, as they split off to continue this routine. During the moment this was going on, DJ Pon-3 was tapping her right hand on the bench in smiling to liking this beat. Which the girl the pulls up a wire, connects it to her keyboard, as a light blue energy source travels through the wire, into a stereo off the stage that began to play out loud beats.

And soon the scene changes to show a magenta background with a blue reading wave responding to a rocking beat that was going on. Then that blue wave reading magically changed into a shooting rainbow that was beaming up, as it became energy as DJ Pon-3 was wrapping the disc before it changed to…the top of a band’s hat worn by….a familiar someone.

Students: Hey!

Then as some cheers were heard, Rainbow Dash was seen lifting her head up in wearing a marching band hat while behind her were the marching band holding up the Canterlot High Wondercolt’s ‘C’ symbol on two separate nine piece cut ups.

Rainbow Dash: We're not the school we were before

Students: Before!

As Rainbow Dash sang this off, the band was heard behind the card images in making a shout out.

Rainbow Dash: Yeah, we're different now

Chorus: Oh, oh

Students: Hey, hey!

Rainbow Dash wiggled her right index finger i stating with confidence that they are different from before; as many of the chorus & students were heard responding.

Rainbow Dash: We overcame the obstacles we faced

Chorus: Overcame the obstacles we faced

Students: Hey!

As Rainbow Dash lean to the left where one cut out display was flipped to show a Demonic Sunset Shimmer image after the crown of the Element of Magic. Then she turn to the right to show the next flip cut out to show the Siren forms of the Dazzlings with their red gemstones.

Rainbow Dash: We're Canterlot united

Students: Unite!

The students are seen starting to smile, as Rainbow’s message was reaching them that even Diamond Tiara & Silver Spoon smiled & they like the rest shouted & raise an arm to cheer.

Rainbow Dash: We'll never bow

Chorus: Oh, oh

Students: Hey, hey!

And the next group of students on the bench were smiling in feeling extra motivated now, as they held up their arms to shout this off in feeling the…spirit now.

Rainbow Dash: So get ready to see us in first place

As Rainbow Dash smiled off to say this, she took her marching band hat & tossed it up into the air now; which the scene shifts to it being a baton.

All: We'll always be Wondercolts forever
(Three! Two! One! Go!)
And now our time has finally arrived
(Our time is now!)

Soon the baton girl caught her baton, as one side of the marching band tossed off horse ear piece head-bands over to the left side, as some students put them one to raise an arm to cheer. Many other students are seen putting on their Wondercolt head pieces in starting to get into the spirt of things. Even the students are feeling that their time to win the games has at last arrived.

All: 'Cause we believe in the magic of friendship
And you know, at the end of the day, it is we who survive
At the end of the day, it is we who survive

Soon even Rainbow Dash places Wondercolt ear pieces on a surprise Trixie, as she sees this while Lyra Heartstring & Bon Bon smiled off at this. Trixie smiled in liking this, as Rainbow smiled in approval. Even the Rainbooms, Goldie’s group, Megan’s group, Ben & Nyx smiled in feeling that Rainbow’s plan was strangely…helping to build that Canterlot High spirit they were lacking from before. Even Shadow Dragon & his squad members watch from afar in seeing what was happening, this school that was such a sorry state was becoming ‘THIS’ hyped up, Rainbow Dash’s plan was actually working. Soon Rainbow Dash came near the baton girl, as they sang out this message as they came back to back before raising up their arms in announcing this shout out to the whole student members that are feeling their spirits rise.

All: Na, na, na-na-na-na
Wondercolts united together
Na, na, na-na-na-na
Wondercolts united forever

Now many students are seen clapping their hands in response to this drive that was making them all feel a drive to push forth to obtain victory as…Wondercolts. Even Principal Celestia near Vice-Principal Luna showed her younger sister a smile to clap as Photo Finish appeared to take a picture here. And soon Rainbow Dash & all of the chorus band were singing in a mix style.

Rainbow Dash: We'll always be Wondercolts forever / Chorus: Na, na, na-na-na-na
Wondercolts united together

We see Rainbow Dash marching along the path with her classmates clapping while the marching band followed.

Rainbow Dash: And now our time has finally arrived / Chorus: Na, na, na-na-na-na
Wondercolts united forever

The band continues to do it’s marching routine while the clapping continues while chanting more of this song.

Rainbow Dash: 'Cause we believe in the magic of friendship / Chorus: Na, na, na-na-na-na
Wondercolts united together

Rainbow Dash was seen climbing aboard onto the stage to proudly smile & raise her arms in announcing this to all of the students to hear her loudly in what they believe. But during the motion of what was happening, Rainbow Dash was suddenly…glowing in a magical aura.

Rainbow Dash & Chorus: And you know, at the end of the day, it is we who survive
At the end of the day, it is we who survive!

Then as the song continues, Rainbow Dash gain pony ears, her hair stretch out to form a long tail-like thing, then Pegasus wings sprouted from her back as she held up her arms. The other Rainbooms & their friends stared in surprise by this, but they suddenly smiled in being awe-struck that Rainbow Dash was truly making a scene to help everyone know they can shine. The baton girl was on stage, raise her baton to the band on the left then right before kneeling & throwing her baton upwards. And in a grand finish, Rainbow Dash caught the baton as she was seen Pony-Up above the stage in making a spectacular display here.

And with that, the song came to a closure, & with that, many students are heard cheering. They all loved it, they felt their spirits were raised up to a whole new level thanks to Rainbow Dash’ pep rally speech & song. But as many were cheering, Shadow Dragon’s group seem to look like deer in the headlights because of many reasons, one of them including a certain magic act that happened that was beyond their expectations.

“Wow…I knew Dash was good with pep rally speeches during big games, but…I wasn’t expecting this.” Aqua replied off in being so surprised that the girl she works with during gym managed to pull something like that off…especially with what else came with it.

“Me neither, I mean, we know she & the others Pony-Up in their hybrid forms when they play & sing together, but…” Tailtech stated to say this in being very puzzled about what it was that they are seeing seem to…not make sense?

“She didn’t have her guitar, so what in blaze’s name happened here? Come on Blazefist, we’re waiting!” Laxtinct stated off to say this while asking a pal nearby for some answers.

“Do I look like I know the answer to that, just cause you called out my name?” Blazefist spoke off that just cause Lax used his name in a rhetorical sense, doesn’t mean he knows.

“Her magic evolved…wow, so it was only ah matter of time.” Flare Tiger whispered to herself to not be heard as if knowing what was likely having happened here.

“Beep-beep…” Suddenly, a tech message was being sent that Saber Dragon answered it to read what it said as he sighs. “Hugh, hate to spoil the moment, but Strikespell is calling…he says we need to quickly rendezvous with G.I. Joe. They say that Cobra & the Dark Terrorists’ arena acting up in Russia.” Saber Dragon explained the case that they are needed for another mission task of finding their targets that are on suspicious movement.

“Then let’s get going, we can’t miss this chance.” Shadow Dragon stated today this in knowing they mustn’t delay.

“But what about the Rainbooms? And the strange magic?” Icy asked off in being concern about the thing they just saw there.

“I’ll inform the Vice-Principal to have their magic display issue be settled down a notch, the last thing we need is to drag this school & them into another conflict with our enemies.” Shadow Dragon issued this off i what they can do for the time being to help keep any problems under control. “Hugh, if anything, if we’re able to keep an eye on them when Crystal Prep arrives, we’ll have to require the service aids of the Former Black Apple Op that works here now.” He sighs to admit that if they can’t be around when things for the games begin, they may have to ask some assistance from a certain custodian they know that was once a part of Azure Phoenix’s special black op squad i the past.

“Hoboken Joe, you sure he’ll be enough?” Blazefist asked off if that guy can help if they are away too long.

“Don’t you remember that the guy singlehandedly beat us when we had the others caught? And push you & Aqua together for a smooching moment?” Laxtinct reminded two members of what Hobo Joe was capable of to which Blazefist & Aqua blushed from knowing about that; though they can’t argue about not enjoying it.

“Let’s hurry up & get Terrorcreep & go, before they know what we’re doing.” Shadow Dragon issued this off that they must hurry it along to get moving.

Soon the Dragon Strike Force lightly nod their heads before picking themselves off to head out; some looked back at the Rainbooms smiling faces in which many hoped…they be alright while they are away. With that, they go out the exit door while preparing things, as the scene gets a little fuzzy in changing where what was going on now to what is happening a little later….

At this moment after about 10 minutes or so from the Pep Rally Speech Song performance, Rainbow Dash was seen giving a thumbs & wink off to the baton girl & her band for having helped her out. The girl was already back to her normal looking self after the performance when many students were seen leaving now. As Rainbow Dash was moving, she smiled to meet her friends backstage now.

“Rainbow Dash, what you did, that was amazing!” Fluttershy spoke off to say this in feeling all joyful about what her friend did. “Why…Even I feel like we can win!” She stated with a happy & hopeful smile that she feels that they can now win the Friendship Games.

“It’s strange. I feel like my school pride is at an all-time high!” Rarity approach to speak her thoughts to squeal in delight in feeling her spirit is at its max now.

“Me too, that pep rally thing really got the whole school to feel motivated.” Jack Zen stated to say this in having felt very well inspired from what they heard.

“I have to say, Rainbow Dash just turn all the years of miserable losing & drop spirits to be flat after that performance.” Goldie stated that after that display of school spirit, Canterlot High may just have a shot at winning now.

“Is anybody else wonderin' how Dash ponied up without playin' her guitar?” Applejack cuts in to break the ice in pondering something on her mind to point about the appearance of Dash’s ears while knowing her pal didn’t have her guitar as she display the motion as such.

“I know, right? It totally blew my mind while I was i the zone! It's probably because I'm so awesome!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed off to say this with a bright smile, as she clutch her hands in thinking that she was so awesome, she pony-up without what the others knew of doing their transformation.

“Hmm…Maybe.” Sunset spoke off to herself in feeling a bit concern about what they noticed that seem…off.

“Something wrong Sunset?” Megan asked in nesting something was distracting her friend.

“Ugh, well…” Sunset yelped in looking worried in now to reply to this.

“Did you think something else besides Rainbow’s theory?” Danny asked off in thinking that must be what Sunset was thinking about.

“I mean, well for Dash it’s…nothing wrong with that.” Sunset was rubbing her back neck in trying to find the wright words to use.

“Hugh?” Rainbow Dash raised an eyebrow in not completely following what Sunset’s saying.

“Well you are awesome, but there's gotta be more to it than that, right?” Sunset smiled off to state that her friend is indeed awesome at what she does, but feels there was something else concerning the matter of the magic display. “It just seems so random to have happened.” She held her chin to be in deep thought over how Rainbow even achieved such a thing.

“I know & random’s mine & Pinkie Pie’s game, but even WE never expected THAT random act!” Pinkamena exclaimed to say in never expecting a random magic act like that to appear during such a moment.

“Well, it would be nice if you girls could get a handle on it.” Then appearing behind the group, was Vice-Principal Luna in stating the matter of the issue.

“Aunt Luna, what do you mean?” Ben asked off in not following what his aunt is talking about, but it sounds serious.

“Well Shadow Dragon informed me to request something that involved…your magic show display.” Luna pointed off in briefly mentioning this about a certain ‘magic’ that was seen that should be talked about.

“Why, was it wrong?” Molly asked off in feeling that what Rainbow Dash did was a bad thing even though it helped so many student’s moral spirits.

“No, no, nothing like that, I assure you.” Luna assures Molly that there’s nothing wrong with what happened. “But under a decision made…We'd like to keep magic as far away from the Friendship Games as possible.” Luna firmly stated in what they need to do about the magic action to be kept away from the upcoming games. “We don't want to be accused of cheating when facing off against Crystal Prep. They may believe we became desperate to perform such things from…the usual streak.” She briefly informed the group that they need to not have any magic while Crystal Prep is visiting or else it may look like they are cheating.

“Really, I bet’cha 20 bucks say that there isn’t any rule that says magic is forbidden.” Danny exclaimed off that there is no rule that forbids magic being use to help someone win.

“But still, it probably wouldn’t be fair to the other students if that were to happen.” Nyx stated off to say that even still, they don’t wanna look like they are being unfair; it’s bad sportsmanship.

Everyone was kinda feeling concern about this, if any magic such as the Rainbooms transforming was to happen, Crystal Prep would think Canterlot High invoke an act of cheating to win a game instead of playing a fair game; that wouldn’t look good on the school’s view.

“Oh please…We don't need magic to defeat those hoity-toity Crystal Preppers.” Rarity some off to smirk off in wiggling her left hand in stating they don’t need any magic to beat the upstart Crystal Prep students to prove they are better.

“Oh yeah!” Everyone was replying in agreement with Rainbow saying ‘Oh Yeah!’ & Pinkie Pie replying ‘Uh-Huh’ while Rarity giggled as they were all in agreement; they can win the games without relying on magic to do it, they got skills of their own to use. But while everyone was in agreement, Sunset seem quiet at the time, looking a little…uncertain.

“Be ever still, the Friendship Games are serious business.” Luna spoke of in stating this as a top serious matter to be concern about. “We don't want any surprises such as magic around. Especially the kind that could cause us to forfeit.” She issued this off that any unexpected surprises could mean they forfeit the games which were a concern, even Sunset felt like that was serious to be concern with. “Sunset Shimmer, you came here from a world of magic long ago, correct? Perhaps if possible, you can get to the bottom of our magical development.” Luna turn to Sunset in asking if she can help solve the mystery as the girl rested her chin to have a moment to think about such things.

“Well Vice-Principal Luna, I’ll do my best.” Sunset smiled off in stating that she will do the best she can to help with a smile, as Luna nods in agreeing to the term. Then afterwards, Luna was seen turning to leave the scene in leaving everything for Sunset Shimmer to resolve the magic problem.

“Okay. On to a bigger topic. Anybody have any guesses what the events are gonna be?” Rainbow Dash asked off in feeling excited to know what events they are gonna be partaking in during the Friendship Games.

“Pie eating? Cake eating?” Then Pinkie Pie pops up near Rainbow Dash to show a pie in the right, a cake in the left in thinking they will eat the two in a contest. “Guuuaaagh…Pie-cake eating?!” The girl gasped off before splatting the two together in thinking they eat both deserts in a contest, but most of that splattered on Rainbow Dash which she felt ‘ew’ about what got on her.

Course most of the spattered pie & cake pastry & stuff land on parts of the others nearby as they were removing some of it.

“Even so, they won't even let us see wha they're doin' ta de field.” Applejack exclaimed off to mention this about what the school staff are doing that they aren’t allowed to see. “Ye think they'd at least tell competitors in just wha de hay they're competin’ in!” Applejack exclaimed off in not knowing why nobody was gonna tell who was competing in the games what fields or events they are partaking in.

“It could be anything.” Fluttershy nervously responded to which Rarity gasped silently while AJ ate a pastry that was on her nose to smile in liking the taste; not bad.

“Anything?!” Rarity exclaimed in being shock-bound to hear about this. “Oh my! How will I ever pick the right outfit?!” Rarity exclaimed off in feeling that such a case may be hard to know which outfit goes best in what event.

“I really wanna help, I really do.” Sunset smiled off to say this to her friends in wanting to help out for the games, but… “But I think I better go focus on figuring out why Rainbow Dash ponied up.” She rubbed the back of her neck in feeling bothered about Rainbow’s transformation while putting on a smile. “See ya later!” Sunset smiles to wave at the gang in saying goodbye in taking of for the moment.

Now Sunset was seen rushing of to get to work, while leaving everyone else to see her leave while promising to help out in other matters, especially under Luna’s request for the games. Though some were still concern between the games & the magic that happened.

“Well seems like she's got everything under control. So I guess there’s nothing to worry about.” Pinkie Pie smiled off to say this in being all perky to shrug off in thinking there was no problems to worry about.

“Well I hope so, what do you think Megan?” Molly stated to say this i asking her sister if everything will be okay.

“All we can do is wait & see what happens Molly!” Megan exclaimed to say this in how things will go from here, just trust in what Sunset will do.

“Well if things get hairy, you still got a secret weapon to get us out of any trouble, right?” Danny whispered to Megan if she still had something in case of emergencies…

“Yes, I have the Rainbow of Light, but only in a dire situation.” Megan whispered back in showing her red heart locket, the thing that holds a magic rainbow inside in case there is a problem that needs such magic to help them out in a jam.

With things looking settled, everything begins to blur out at this time, as whatever cases are about to happen next, one thing is certain…this year’s Friendship Games are bound to be something else entirely. What will happen during the games…we’ll have to stay tune for when we come across the answers…

Author’s note
Another chapter made. Next time, while Sunset tries to write to Pony Twilight about a tough case, the Twilight from Crystal Prep is busy studying to understand the strange energy readings from the statue at Canterlot High. Of course, even for the brightest student at such a boarding school, Twilight may feel somewhat...lonesome that all the other students care about what they want to do while it's not as...openingly socializing with another. However, once brought into Principal Cinch's office, the future for Twilight maybe handed out to her of attending a special study program...but, there comes with a catch. She will have to...partake, in the Friendship Games...what answer will Twilight have for that?
