Chapter 09: The Finale of the Games

The scene shifts towards where G.I. Joe was currently holding their captive sealed up. As they were entering the area to question the guy that tried to attack a teen girl, they were surprised to find an empty chair with cut rope marks & what appeared to be an open window; Storm Shadow had escaped.

“Uh oh, um, Duke…Storm Shadow’s gone!” Tunnel Rat reported this out in seeing that the ninja they had captive, just got out.

“Spread out & contact Shadow Dragon’s group…tell him that there maybe someone out to get that girl from Crystal Prep; name, Twilight Sparkle.” Duke issued this order to all Joe, & even to the Dragon Strike Force that someone maybe after Twilight Sparkle’s life.

“Snake Eyes, you track him once, you can do so again. We’re counting on you, a girl’s life is in the balance.” Flint issued this out i hoping the black ninja can stop Storm Shadow to which Snake Eyes nods before he was off.

The scene begins to change towards the nurse’s office in CHS as we find Strikespell was resting to recover his strength after his separated experience from a Dark Stone. Iris sat near her brother in worry & concern as Ben watched this in feeling sad to see this sight.

“You staying here with Strikespell?” Ben asked Iris in what she was gonna do.

“I must…he has suffered much, but….maybe he’ll be in a better mood after the finale is over.” Iris stated off to say this in feeling that once Strikespell is better, he’ll be maybe nicer after the settling of the games.

“Hey Ben, need a hand getting out?” Flash spoke off in arriving to see if his bud who he heard from Hoboken Joe that got him, said Ben was aching to need a hand.

“Right, thanks Flash.” Ben stated off to say this as Flash soon helps Ben up while the guy lightly yelp from his ache in the shoulder; he’ll have to make sure not to add any pressure.

“Ben, can I ask you for one more favor.” Iris asked Ben in wanting something from her….other brother.

“What is it Iris?” Ben asked off in looking back at Iris at this time.

“Can you watch over Twilight, make sure she’s safe?” Iris asked off this simple request, catching the boy off a little.

“Well yah, but….why the question?” Ben shrug off to say this while not following the question itself.

“I fear that whoever managed to place that Dark Stone in my brother’s watch was manipulating him. I fear there is more going on here.” Iris stated to say this in looking down in sadness, feeling that whoever did this terrible act is not over just yet.

“Like those hole things where the plants came out of?” Flash pointed out in how another weird thing happened in the second round of the games.

“Yes, I fear something may happen, please….don’t let what happened to Strikespell happen to anyone else being used.” Iris nods while asking that Ben should make sure, no one will be misused for the wrong things…as what Strikespell suffered from.

“I promise you, I’ll do my best.” Ben nods off to say this in knowing that he’ll try to keep that promise.

“Come on pal, let’s get going.” Flash issued off that they best get going here.

Soon the scene shows the two boys leaving the room as Strikespell showed movement of almost waking up while Iris watch Ben & Flash go. Everything begins to fade out as something is about to play out off here…very soon.

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

Now the scenery begins to open up in where we see Canterlot High as there was a bit of dark clouds over the sky. There were cheering voices as we see rake step stands in where on the left was the Wondercolts & right was Shadowbolts. The reason for all of this was because it was finally time…for the final round of the Friendship Games to commence. G.I. Joe’s members & the Strike Force were scattered around the area, as if being on the lookout for something…or someone. Even Sideswipe was seen in his vehicle mode to be on standby…

“Flower Dog…Shadow Cat….ye ah’er in position?” Flare Tiger used her radio to give a call out to her friends as she was checking the bushes spot of the school.

“Roger!” Flower Dog & Shadow Cat’s voices are heard on the radio walky-talky in hearing their friend loud & clear.

“Good, cause Ah brought ye here cause somethin’ don’t feel right, keep Ah eye out!” Flare Tiger issued off to say this to her friends on the radio call.

“Since the score's tied one on one for each school, the final event will determine the winner of the Friendship Games.” Cadance’s voice announced this matter of what’s going on. On the Wondercolts side, the Rainbooms were standing ready while some felt a little off their game, concerns, worries, Sunset heard about what happen with Twilight & look pretty bummed out about Azure while Rainbow Dash was doing some stretches. On the other side for Crystal Prep was those that were a part of the 12 elite Shadowbolts with Principal Cinch & Jason as they looked bored while Twilight was near there with a worried & down expression after what she encounter of endangering the school, Azure’s condition, & Cunning Fury’s hostage or ‘hostel’ means of holding CHS to fall if they lose while Spike peeks from under a bush nearby to see if Twilight was oaky.

“Somewhere on CHS campus, a pennant from each school has been hidden somewhere.” Luna is shown talking in holding up two flags with the ‘C’ for Wondercolts & ’S’ for Shadowbolts. “The first team to find their school's flag & then brings it back here will be the winners of the game.” Luna issued off in stating that with a serious statement that whoever finds one’s pennant flag & comes back wins it all.

“And as soon as our teams are ready & prepared, we'll begin right away.” Cadance cuts in to issue this about what they will be doing when everyone is ready to begin.

But even still, many of the Rainbooms were not feeling as HYPED up as before. Many reasons include what has been going on, the magic disturbance, losing their magic, hurting Twilight….their old friend, it all just….weighted down anyone’s spirit. Even as Goldie’s group, Nyx & Phobos were there to support their team going out there, the atmosphere was too gloomy to be anything….not even excitement.

“Everyone, I don't feel very much like playing these games anymore.” Fluttershy clutch her left arm in moping about in feeling tired & doesn’t wanna play in the games since…after everything, it’s too sad.

“But wait Fluttershy, we have to play this! This here is the last event!” Rainbow Dash spoke up in feeling concern top point off that this was something important, the last of the friendship Games…the tie breaker for their school to finally break its closing streak.

“Ugh, darling, it's a little hard to focus on that with all the magic stealing & portal opening that’s been going on.” Rarity issued off to say this to scoff in waving her right hand & both hands to frown how after everything, they can’t focus on anything else.

“And I feel awful about what I said to Twilight.” Sunset held her chin in stating how terrible she felt about what she said to Twilight, the awful things said & regretting them afterwards was….just making the girl feel more guilty.

“Especially since the Twilight here obviously didn't mean to do all the stuff she did.” Fluttershy thought about this really hard to make her point about how Twilight was not really meaning anything bad from what happened. “She's actually really nice. We’ve come to know that from her, she maybe not like Pony Twilight, but she’s still the same…someone who could need support of others.” Fluttershy clapped her hands together in thinking that the Twilight from Crystal Prep is someone that is more than anything…a nice girl that meant no ill-will harm.

“Ooohhhh….” Sunset then face-palms her hands to her face in feeling even more regrets & sorrow in what she did. Everyone else looked to Fluttershy that was puzzled in not knowing that what she said…ended up hurting Sunset more than cheering her up as the shy girl moved to hid behind Pinkie Pie for her wrong choice of helping out.

“Somehow, I don’t think that cheered her up,” Phobos rolled his eyes in seeing what Fluttershy did might have been truthful, but that made Sunset feel more like a jerk because she picked on a poor innocent girl like Twilight that didn’t know about the dangers.

“Okay, enough bringing’ our A-Game down a notch! Let's just get through ‘dis last event here & then prove we're not a bunch o’ cheaters.” Applejack walked up to make a calm smile in turning to tell everyone this serious factor; to win this last event by a clean means so that no one will think they cheated because of magic. “Then yew can go over at Twilight & apologize ta her, sounds alright.” AJ patted Sunset’s shoulder to tell her this with a hoping thought that with this idea, it will aid things out.

“Your right, thanks for that Applejack. I will do that, I promise Ben I would.” Sunset smiled a bit lightly in which AJ smiled to; that little self-confidence helped out a little bit.

“Well, that’s nice to hear.” Ben was heard as he entered the scene, but was shown holding his left shoulder which still ache a bit as he walked.

“Where have you been &…what’s wrong with your arm?” Rainbow Dash raised an eyebrow in wondering what happened to Ben…seriously, what happened that he’s holding his arm.

“Ugh….pulled it during that Kalidah ride.” Ben sheepishly tried to get away with that idea of what happened to him then in a gunshot moment with Strikespell.

“Wait a second, did something happen while we were away? Don’t lie, cause I’ll know it, buster!” Pinkamena issued off in not about to let Ben off the hook if he’s not telling them something super important.

“Okay, fine…I confronted Strikespell, &…well, we found something weird. Sunset said he was under the control of…a Dark Stone.” Ben shrug off to say this in what was going on that something affected Strikespell.

“A Dark Stone?” Goldie raised an eyebrow in having heard this to be somewhat puzzled.

“What’s that?” Jack Zen asked in not knowing what the guy is talking about.

“They don’t sound too nice.” Nyx stated in thinking those Dark Stones sound bad.

“They aren’t, I’ll explain about them later…hugh, after this last event.” Sunset sighs to say this in feeling that she will have to explain about Dark Stones again, but they are never good when in use.

“Hey, anyone seen Megan & her siblings?” Pinkie Pie asked off in noticing that Megan’s group ain’t here…that’s weird.

Meanwhile, the scene changes over to what the Shadowbolts need to discuss a plan to gain victory, right now…motivation is the key for these students to here. Well, almost all of them, as Twilight was still holding her tech pendent, feeling lost over what she should do after…everything she has experienced.

“So, you all know the plan?” Jason spoke off to have those competing to know what is what here.

“We hear yah, just….not following much.” Lemon Zest stated off in not truly getting what this topic was as it…sounded weird.

“Listen to me, I know I'm asking you to beat a team that is not at all playing fair.” As Principal Cinch speaks, a worried Twilight waved her wave worriedly to have Spike hide i the bushes before he makes her principle sneeze from her allergy. “But Canterlot High must be made to, no, they NEED to understand that even with magic at their disposal, beating Crystal Prep is simply not an option & is not an option to ruin the Phoenix Family Founders name.” Principal Cinch was speaking in a soft tone in telling her Shadowbolts here these matters while being strict & stern about it.

“But what if they grow wings again like last time?” Sugarcoat asked off bluntly in having recalled what happened in the second game event.

“Well said Sugarcoat; that is indeed a fair question.” Principal Cinch moved her hair upwards to pass Indigo Zap, Jet Set & Sugarcoat in having to think about that question. “Though I believe from what Dr. G. Gar & Strikespell told me after careful explanation from the last event, we may & can now fight fire…with…fire.” Principal Cinch approached to stop near a worried Twilight’s spot in feeling worried as she held her pendent device in not liking the looks of this.

“Games up Sparkle, we know what we saw out on the field…& heard all the details.” Jason issued off to say this to the girl in having seen the contact magic in that pendent the smart girl wears.

“You…have?” Twilight yelps in worry; that does not sound too good.

“We have indeed, we’ve seen what your little device can do, Twilight. Dr. G. Gar also filled us in about the amulet of our school is in use.” Principal Cinch explained this off in what she & others have seen the girl use her little device that performed its task. “Containing that which is magical energy is fine & all, but have you ever thought to consider of releasing it?” She was rubbing her fingers together before asking Twilight that while having stored all the magical energy, but asked if the child thought about releasing it all at once.

“But…Principal Cinch….I don't even understand how it works! It’s all still new to me!” Twilight exclaimed off in being concern with worry about not knowing how the magic energy even works even with her brain power.

“But would you not like to know?” As Principal Cinch spoke this, a few of the other Crystal Prep students began to approach with their usual competitive expressions about the matter. “And since our opponents of CHS have already used it to stay competitive against our elite students, I don’t see any reason why we shouldn't do the same.” She held up her left hand in stating that from seeing what the Rainbooms, have done to be ahead in the games, it’s only fair that Crystal Prep does the same thing. “Unless that is, of course, you still have no interest in going to Everton.” Principal Cinch raised an eyebrow in stating this crucial fact about where Twilight wanted to go to a place she felt was her place to be. “Though really, in all honestly my dear, I think there is more, no, even greater knowledge packed in that little device than any little independent study program could offer you in this world.” As she spoke this off, Twilight felt caution & concern in having heard all of this, what if…Principal Cinch was right; everything she could learn is…right within her possession, just as Cunning Fury even said.

Back near the Rainbooms, the six girls were in front while Ben, & Goldie’s group were in the back of the stair rakes to watch how things play out when….suddenly, Pinkamena had a bad shaking feeling.

“Uh oh….Ben, I think Twilight’s gonna be in trouble!” Pinkamena yelps in stating that something bad was gonna happen.

“What?” Ben asked off in having heard what the pink girl said.

“We have to go over to her & fast!” Pinkamena issued off quietly in seeing they have to use stealth to reach Twilight.

Soon Pinkamena, Goldie, Jack Zen & Ben prepare to move ahead of where they are if their friend is in trouble, but also coming out of the school was Iris holding Strikespell who was fine, but still feeling weak. However, someone else saw was going on, Cunning Fury overheard the children’s plan…so he press his intercom.

“Jason…aid me in keeping those children away from the girl while I implement a little…..force of habit, on my side.” Cunning Fury issued off to scythes in what he wants to be done without any interferences.

“As you command.” Jason’s voice is heard having hear the order as Cunning Fury hangs up now to get ready for…the main final to begin.

“Either after losing her friends to seeing her beloved mentor look ready on his deathbed doesn’t weaken her resolve to use whatever is in her possession…then I will just…cover that base for her.” Cunning Fury exclaimed to say this as he soon was blended in with the crowds to observe the show that is about to begin.

Then without warning, something began to happen around the Shadowbolts, as the atmosphere felt cold…icy, & then…a song called ‘Unleashed the Magic’ began to be heard.

Principal Cinch: I realize that you've always been an outcast
It's not everyone at school who likes to think
To find a student that's like you
I've had one or maybe two
But the good ones disappear before I blink

Soon Principal Cinch was approaching Twilight in stating these factors in what Twilight was like, an outcast in Crystal Prep. Twilight was a bit edgy in where her Principal was telling her these things about…herself. As Principal Cinch moved around the worried girl, the woman held up her right hand to state having had students like Twilight one before that were something special, like Ben Mare, Starlight Sparkle, even Nyx. But then the woman turn to frown, in snapping her finger in stating that those good students she had were gone the next moment…

Shadowbolts: (Oh, wuh-oh-wuh, oh
Oh, wuh-oh-wuh)

Twilight was a bit unsure, but stared worried in seeing the other Crystal Prep students were making a weird chant noises as they came near the principal as if…speaking in a spooky mumbo-jumbo act before the girl. Above the school’s left roof, Storm Shadow was aiming a blow dart at Twilight, but then before he fired, Snake Eyes slashed his wooden dart stick in half.

“No…not now!” Storm Shadow exclaimed as the two ninjas were silently leaping out of sight while the singing below continues.

Principal Cinch: Now, I understand you have your reservations (oh-wuh)
It's hard to have a brain as large as yours (oh-oh-oh-oh)
But if we don't win these games
Well, I think I've made it plain
What will happen if we have the losing scores!

Now Principal Cinch slowly approached Twilight in stating what the girl has all prepared for herself; & that it’s understanding that Twilight is so smart, she wants to know more which made the worried Twilight fix her sliding glasses to set them back up right. Then the girl yelp with a worried look as Principal Cinch glares at Twilight in issuing what will happen if they lose, to lift Twilight’s chin up that made her feel nervous about the pressuring threat. The woman made a scuffle face to glare at Twilight in how if they lose the games, then her future…will not be anything happy.

Shadowbolts: (Oh, wuh-oh-wuh, oh
Oh, wuh-oh-wuh)
Unleash the magic, unleash the magic
If we lose, then you're to blame (ah, ah-ah-ah)
They all have used it, maybe abused it (ah-ah-ah)
So then why can't we do the same?
(Oh, wuh-oh-wuh, oh
Oh, wuh-oh-wuh)

Soon the Crystal Prep students approach in doing their spooky little approach as they were going around a cornered & worried Twilight. As they sang this to Twilight, she held her pendent device while having many glares set sights on her as she was unsure what to do. Then the scene shows Sour Sweet & Lemon Zest pointing over to the Rainbooms in stating what the girls did when they used their magic that was used in an abusive way. Then Sugarcoat, Sunny Flare, Sour Sweet, Lemon Zest & Indigo Zap line up to cross their arms in stating that they should be using the magic for their own way too. Then without warning, the pendent device was shimmering it’s glowing rims that caught Twilight’s attention, never seeing her neon star mark showing…a blue Demonic ram image that change back, Twilight felt fearful about if she should do this or not.

Principal Cinch: Call it power, call it magic
If we lose, it will be tragic
More important is the knowledge we'll have lost (oh-oh-oh-oh)
A chance like this won't come again
You'll regret not giving in
Isn't understanding magic worth the cost?

Now the girl turns to see Principal Cinch spoke diligently about the thing that Twilight has before leaning to stern at the girl that losing such powerful magic before using it, it will not aid them to win at all. Then Principal Cinch points at the pendent to tell Twilight that if they lose what is here, such knowledge to understand it will be lost forever; Twilight looked at her device in fearful though because…that did sound horrible to not know something upon discovery. Principal Cinch was pushing these truthful & tempting facts that made Twilight seem to quiver in feeling like that was all true, she wants to know, she does indeed, but….could it be she does not have the will to go for it at any cost…

Shadowbolts: (Oh, wuh-oh-wuh, oh
Oh, wuh-oh-wuh)
Unleash the magic, unleash the magic
We're not friends here after all
Our only interest in this business (ah-ah-ah)
Is seeing Canterlot High School fall
(Oh, wuh-oh-wuh, oh
Oh, wuh-oh-wuh)

Now Crystal Prep’s students became to moving from behind Twilight which were Sunny Flare, Sour Sweet, Sugarcoat, Lemon Zest & Indigo Zap from left to right. Now the five were pushing a worried Twilight that held the tech pendent in fear about doing something that she knows is…dangerous; but…what if it’s not was her second thought? Now Twilight yelped in coming close behind her principal as she was caught between a rock & a hard place. As Sunny Flare, Sour Sweet, Sugarcoat, Lemon Zest & Indigo Zap was issuing their only option to win…is to release the magic Twilight has, even the image of seeing the Wondercolt statue crumble before shattering to bits. But Twilight was feeling nervously scared about giving in when knowing the magic energy she has is dangerous, but…this was her only chance to know something she doesn’t understand, the only thing…left for her.

Principal Cinch: What I'm suggesting's very simple
And since it's win-win on all scores
You only want to learn about the
Magic that you have stored
And as for me and all the others
We only want what we deserve
That our school will clinch the win
And my...

Now Principal Cinch approached behind Twilight to state something as the worried girl clutch her pendent to her chest, feeling unsure of what to do while her pricing tells her of such things. Twilight looks to her glowing pendent as Principal Cinch taps it to surprise the girl in hearing that all Twilight wants to do…is learn about what magic is that’s stored away, but Twilight pulls it away in simply fearing about doing such things. As Principal Cinch spoke forth, she helped push Twilight forward through Indigo Zap, Sunny Flare, Lemon Zest, Sour Sweet & many more as the girl was feeling the strangest…pressure coming down on her. Principal Cinch showed a strict face about what their school deserves as she pushed a worrying Twilight off surprise forward about what the principal is doing all this for…

Principal Cinch & Shadowbolts: ...legacy will endure

Soon the scene shifts to Principal Cinch raising up her arms as the rest of the twelve Crystal Preps sang this off. Now a worried Twilight was out on the field, looking so worried & scared…never seeing off the school’s top was a black & white ninja clashing out still.

“Hruauagh….” Storm Shadow tried to throw ninja stars, but Snake Eyes counter that to make sure Twilight remain safe from harm while they continued their ninja game.

Shadowbolts: Unleash the magic, unleash the magic
If we lose, then it's a crime
But we can win it if you begin it (ah-ah-ah)
It's up to you to not fail this time

Twilight looked back at where the rest of Crystal Prep was as she shut her eyes in front in feeling like she doesn’t want do this…But Twilight stared down at her pendent in looking worried about the outcome…win or lose, what is there left for her now; so…she begins to move. But during the same moment, Spike pokes out of the bushes to hurry over after Twilight. Soon Twilight begins to approach forward as she seem…somewhat at a lost in what to do…Then Fluttershy points at something that the Raibnooms notice that…Twilight is starting to come out.

At the moment, Ben & Goldie’s group are coming out from the oppose side of the step rake near Crystal Prep in hoping to get to Twilight, only to see her moving out, until Pinkamena yelps from something snatched her up & silenced her shouty voice. Then as the three boys turn, they got kicked backwards against the back of the step rakes to be kept out of sight by everyone.

“Jason! What are you doing?” Ben snapped off in seeing what the drill sergeant was doing…this was a brutal measurement of trying to stop them.

“Keeping you from interfering any longer.” Jason issued off to say this in which his eyes glimmer with more dark aura surrounding them.

“Let go of my sister, you….Guauaghh…” Goldie was stating to about to attack, but then he got suckered punch in the gut that made his eyes wide out before dropping unconscious.

“Golden Heart…Gaugh!” Jack Zen called out to race to his friend, but then Jason gave a hard karate chop to his neck, causing the guy to gasp before dropping down unconscious too.

“Grruagh….Ggrrruagh….” Then Ben was seen grasped around his neck as Jason was cutting off his air circulation to keep him quiet to not cause anyone to hear him like he was making Pinkamena do.

“You will not stop us from winning, fools. Twilight’s weak-will of heart will give us victory.” Jason muttered off to say this in where he looked back at the event still playing out during the song number.

Meanwhile, as Ben’s side was struggling against Jason, Twilight was still moving out onto the field.

Male Shadowbolts: Unleash the magic, free the magic now

Female Shadowbolts: Unleash the magic, free the magic now

As a worried Twilight seem to be moving, she was taking off her pendent to look at it with…caution, concern & worrying thoughts. Spike was seen from nearby in what Twilight was doing, worrying that…would Twilight give in to the pressure from being unable to oppose. As Pinkamena & Ben struggled to get out of Jason’s grid lock hands, they look to see out on the field…that Twilight was going to the center while Sunset was also moving out. Cunning Fury watched this action with a hidden smirk as Snake Eyes & Storm Shadow were clashing their blades over the school roof while the white ninja could barely fight the black one when watching what was happening below.

Twilight: Imagine all I'll learn by setting it free

Twilight spoke this out in feeling like the idea that she felt against…she felt like she would learn something if she did so. As the tech pendent glimmer from the rims, the star symbol changed to a blue demonic ram…as it seem to sense what will happen.

“If both teams are ready…” Luna was heard calling out through the mike in announcing for the two teams to be ready.

Male Shadowbolts: Unleash the magic, free the magic now

Female Shadowbolts: Unleash the magic, free the magic now

Soon both ninjas separated, but Storm Shadow dropped to a bush spot by the front entrance where Strikespell & Iris yelped in noticing him.

“I must complete my mission, she must perish less she unleash chaos upon our world!” Storm Shadow issued forth what he must, as he brought out kunai daggers with some explosive tags to throw, but…

“Kill her…you mean Twilight, you can’t!” Iris protest to move herself & her brother against Storm Shadow’s next attempt.

“Storm Shadow…what is the meaning of this?” Strikespell issued off in demanding an answer from this white ninja.

“You can’t do that!!” Iris protest against the man trying to harm Twilight…just as Snake Eyes managed to sneak up behind Storm Shadow with a blade to his throat in preventing anymore resistance.

Twilight: And now winning these games depends on me

Twilight issued off to sadly say this as she looked at her tech pendent & then…press the top button; just as Sunset managed to see the action as the device glimmered more. Spike was seen trying to run pass the other Crystal Prep students in looking worried.

Male Shadowbolts: Unleash the magic, free the magic now

Female Shadowbolts: Unleash the magic, free the magic now

“Ahhh…CHOMP!” Pinkamena had enough of being silence by Jason & did the only thing possible, she opened her mouth wide to bite his hand.

“Uurrraagh!” Jason groans off from the pain by the weird pink girl, as he unknowing lets go of Ben who dropped on the ground. “GOOWWVHMM!” Then Ben took the moment to use all his strength to tackle Jason down against the supporters as Pinkamena got free to grab the Mystic Knight’s arms around the pole.

“Ben! Go for it! I’ll keep this brute back!” Pinkamena issued off for Ben to hurry off, she will hold the fort here as Goldie & Jack Zen are still out cold.

Ben nods in having heard that as he quickly runs off to get to Twilight; whatever Jason was doing that he was to be kept out…may not be good!

Twilight: And what doors might open if I try to use it

We see Twilight gazing at the glimmering pendent device as she felt her worries, fear, caution & concerns of doing this until…Her expression of being a scared & weak outcast was replaced with a mix of curiosity, determination, the motive that she had been lacking from all other Crystal Prep students to push themselves hard to be…the best…the best that even Azure Phoenix wanted her to be. Suddenly within the girl’s eyes, a turquoise sparkling glimmer was seen before fading out to gray…as if Twilight’s fear & danger of the unknown were…lifted.

“…The last event of the Friendship Games begins…” Cadance was seen announcing this off as she held up her arm in about to make the call.

Male Shadowbolts: Unleash the magic, free the magic now

Female Shadowbolts: Unleash the magic, free the magic now

At this moment, Ben was seen coming out of the step rakes by Crystal Prep, but both CHS & Crystal Prep were heard making loud cheers in wanting this to get on.

“Twilight….you have to stop what you’re doing!” Ben tried to call out over the cheering crowds from afar as Twilight seem to have heard him, but could not turn to face him.

“I can’t Ben…I have to do this…for Crystal Prep! I have no one left…you…my friends…Azure…I’m weak…I have need to secure my future.” Twilight spoke off with her back turn, stating of what she’s doing this for.

“No, you have a choice…whatever it is you’re being force to do…you decide what you want! Not someone you can’t stand against! You always had a good heart…even for others…that’s why I love you!” Ben spoke off these words from the heart, telling Twilight that she isn’t weak because she is who she is to him.

“Ben…?” Twilight suddenly looked as if realizing she was about to make some big mistake in having heard Ben’s words.

“How irritating…Plan B then.” Cunning Furry looked a bit disappointed as he pressed a device towards Twilight’s direction.

“Uuughhh!” Twilight groans to hold her head, the strange tech bug that Cunning Fury planted on her; it’s pincers were connected to her brain patterns & making her look…her expression was looking worried because of what she heard; ‘Open it…’ like a forceful command to which Twilight felt unable to resist.

“Twilight! Hey, excuse…Twilight!” Ben called out in trying to get pass some Crystal Prep students that were blocking him.

“Now…OPEN IT!” Cunning Fury gave out the command in seeing the time was NOW!

Twilight: But the magic's what I really want to see

All the sides were cheering as Pinkamena is seen struggling to keep Jason from going anywhere. Ben was trying to get pass the crowd, but he watches what was happening. As Twilight seems to slowly be opening her tech pendent, it glows to glimmer before a magical surge pulse escape from it.

“Hugh!” Sunset gasped in seeing this as she had to rush towards Twilight’s direction.

“Oh no!” Ben gasped in finally getting out of the crowded crowd to rush off now.

Male Shadowbolts: Unleash the magic, free the magic now

Shadowbolts: Unleash the magic, free the magic...

Twilight: Unleash the magic, free the magic...

Principal Cinch smiled in anticipation & hidden behind a school window, Dr. G. Gar & Bray watched with wicked smirks. Sunset & Ben were rushing off to try to reach Twilight in what she’s about to do.

“Twilight, no!” Spike was calling out to rush pass more legs of people as Spike leaped upwards from Crystal Prep’s students & principal. Ben was finally seen coming from the other side to try to reach his love, but…

“Frushvmmm…” A bright flash escaped from the tech pendent as it was now coming into open view…

“Now!” At this time, Cadence & Luna announced the finale start to end the games.

“It begins…./Heheehhaaahhhh!” Dr. G. Gar issued this off from where he was at as Bray laughed off wickedly.

“Truusssvhhmmm-Ssizizizvhmmm….” Now without warning, Twilight’s unwilling body was making her open up the entire tech pendent, as the magical orb was now…free. “Kapowfruvhmmmm-Frususvhmmm….” Then in a suddenly absorption around, it implodes in a bright light purple light as a dome of magic & air appears to spread across Twilight & backlashing the Rainbooms, Crystal Prep’s Shadowbolts, Principal Cinch, Spike & Ben. “Triziziizvhmmm….” As the smoke clears from the pink-purple crescent spiral forms of energy, all the teams were pushed downhill Twilight stood there…but without her glasses & her hair undo. “Frushvmmm-Svrosvhmm….” Then the magical impulse begin to refocus back into the center of the tech pendent.

The Rainbooms looked at this with a look of fear & concern terror, as even Principal Cinch, Indigo Zap, Lemon Zest, Sugarcoat, Sour Sweet & Sunny Flare stared in gas pinging shock at this…magical outburst surprise. Even Nyx & Phobos who came near a knock over Ben stared in shock, Goldie & Jack Zen recovered to stare at this while even a horrified Pinkamena holding Jason saw this. Then a car pulled up by the edge of the school, as we see the driver was Shining Armor, but he had a guest with him; Detective Dan. Clearly the detective told him about a case he was doing for his sister & that something may happen to her & then they stared at what causes the crowds to gasp….they too were in shock.

“What’s going on here detective, you told me something was wrong about my sister, but…what’s happening?” Shining Armor asked off in not knowing what was going on here, what was going on that his sister was involved.

“Holy Tourmaline, it’s already started! Hang loose, this may not be pretty!” Detective Dan held his head in seeing that this may get really bad from what he figured out about Twilight’s nightmare…might be coming true.

“Frusvhmmm….” Suddenly, a worried Twilight was unable to move as she felt herself being lifted up into the air by the orb of magic energy. Then the tech pendent dropped from the girl’s possession as it was no empty of the stored magic that was…released. “Frrussvhmmm-Ssisisisivhmmm…” Then the orb the size of a golf ball began to expand, as it grew, it began to come into contact with Twilight. Principal Cinch stood up in watching what was happening as a terrified expressed Twilight turn to her team as they all seem so shocked & scared of what was done, but the principal seem so frighten that she was moving backwards. “Whosssvhhmmm…” Twilight was still hovering upwards as the released magic was growing bigger & bigger to look ready to…swallow & absorb a terrified Twilight whole.

“Hugh!” Spike gasped in seeing this, what was happening with Twilight?

“Twilight!” Nyx cried out in seeing her sister was in peril, she needs help, but everyone was….so scared.

“Noooo….” Ben utters off to say as he tried to push himself up, but yelped from the injury in this left shoulder; the pain was stopping him from acting…curse that bullet wound he got.

“It is too late…it’s begun.” Storm Shadow lowered his head down in regret that what he was trying to do, he’s failed as Snake Eyes, Strikespell & Iris watched this happen.

No one was doing anything, even the five girls of Crystal Prep in Twilight’s team felt as if they were scared of this…all while Principal Cinch seem to move a bit far from this. The Rainbooms were seeing this to look scared themselves in seeing something was happening to their friend with that raw amount of magic energy. The G.I. Joe members & Strike Force began to approach the area of spotting what was happening, only to not prepare themselves for…what was to come?.

“Nuuuaaagh….” Twilight was seen struggling to get herself out of what was swallowing her arms, as she looked out with a pleadful expression. “Heeeeeeeeeelp...meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!” Twilight cried out loud as she struggled with her last might to tears to pull a left arm free to hope for someone to reach it. “Uhh! Ahh!” Twilight was now mostly swallowed into the magical orb as she looked out in begging for help to tears of being so afraid…

“Twilight….Uurrrughh!” Ben pushed himself to his limit in trying to tolerate the pain as he tried to reach for the girl while everyone was too scared to move, but…it was too late.

“Nrrrugh-Urraarrrughhh!” Twilight’s last cries sow her closing eyes, as she was swallowed up in the ball of magic light as her hair seem to burn while her left hand could not get grabbed by anyone before being completely taken in.

“Whosoosfruvhmmm….” Soon every watches in seeing that Twilight’s body was in the center of much magical energy from the Rainbooms stolen magic as it was radiating. But then it was shifting, the bright colors seem to almost become…blacken as the beautiful magic became…dark & it blur out the girl’s body. “Powwfrushvmmm….” Then without warning, everyone yelps from the black sphere imploded over their eyes to be shielded.

“Oh no….not this again!” Scootaloo yelps in feeling this will be something bad that they once saw happened before.

“Think it’ll be de same thing fro’ before?” Apple Bloom asked in feeling this might be what Sunset Shimmer experience as she turn into a She-Demon.

“The Fall Formal, maybe!” Sweetie Belle exclaimed in having a bad feeling in what’s about to happen here.

Now the scene changes to focus inside the magical ball, as we see Twilight was within, her body hovered & her eyes were glowing bright white. “Trizzizivhmmm…” Then the girl yelps as strange sparks were happening on her forehead of pink-violet coloring, she soon couldn’t help but…let it out. “Powwvvvhmm-fruvhmmm…” In a bright flash, it swallowed the girl whole as something began to happen again. Strange purplish magic was forming from the feet to create crystal glass shoes & long pink-purple long socks with wing styles on the ankles while a long furry purple pony tail seem to stretch out, then from a clutch hand showed the same clothing like a glove to the elbow in a crescent ling pattern, then flapping out were dark purple…feather wings! “Pussfruvhmmm….”Then we see Twilight’s face, her forehead glows before forming a long magical horn appearing from her longer…wilder hair style? “Frusfruvhmmm…” Then after the recent swirling unicorn tan turquoise horn was form, magical color like the form forms round the girl’s eyes like a wild-fire style pair of glasses….but Twilight’s eyes…the background were extra bright light blue & her eyes shrank as pink ovals. And soon everything became clear, as standing or hovering in the air was wearing a a dress style of something….midnight kind with stars & wore a star necklace around her neck….

Below, everyone saw what has transpired of Twilight….Principal Cinch gasped in shock, this was….this was not something that should have happened at all! The pricipal was seen backing away in terror of what she herself had done in fearing the blame, as the other Crystal Prep’s girls were standing where they were in feeling…frighten & shock by what they felt…made Twilight become…THAT!

“Holy…..that transformation don’t look right….it looks like she’s been turn into some kind of….monstrous alter ego; a Midnight Sparkle!” Pinkamena gasped forth in stating what Twilight has gone & become…a transformation from being corrupted from the path of Light & Dark & Twilight in between to….the Midnight theme!

“At long last….they objective has been done.” Cunning Fury spoke off to approach in marveling at Twilight’s little transformation.

“Cunning Fury, what are you talking about? What manner of action is this?” Strikespell demands off in what the man was up to with this action.

“That really ain’t your boy, that there….is a Cobra Spy! And none other than the commander himself; Cobra Commander!” Detective Dan issued forth in stating this about who Cunning Fury is, that it was someone that was an enemy.

Then without warning, Cunning Fury tapped on his little watch that began to fizzy out his entire figure to appear…differently to all those around. Appearing in some different military getup that was light & dark blue mix & black boots & gloves, & wore a symbol of…a red cobra snake-head. But the most noticed thing was he wore a helmet with a full silver mask covering the eyes & mouth. Many gasped in surprise, Detective Dan was right….this man was the leader of the terror organization known as Cobra & acting commander; Cobra Commander!

“Wait….that guy’s been impersonating Cunning Fury this whole time, but then…where’s the real one?” Shining Armor exclaimed to say this in feeling puzzled, how can that be, where was the real Cunning Fury.

“Who’s to say, he may have died from 20 years ago during his investigation on strange energy signals, as of today….” Cobra Commander shrug off to simply say this about what happened to Cunning Fury, the real one, long ago…had perished during an energy signal matter…just like the current case here.

“Wait…but then, that would mean….someone must have contacted anyone from a pony or creature in Equestria, but then who?” Sunset exclaimed off in realizing something, someone that was in contact with another in Equestria about this, but who was that person.

“Better question would be to ask Dr. Guildenstern, if he was alive…” Cobra Commander shrug off to simply say this about who to ask the question…or not.

“What’s he talking about?” Rainbow Dash raised an eyebrow in not following along what this guy was saying.

“We all saw Guildenstern from the last time during the Battle of the Bands, he was alive then unless….no…it couldn’t be possible that…” Sunset was starting to state the facts until a second thought cross her mind. “The one we saw was from the Equestria Prime than of this world, how?” Sunset was shocked, Guildenstern from Equestria came to the EQG Universe, but how?

“It does little to know….as the main focus was making this objective….a success.” Cobra Commander stated off to say this as he wave motioned towards Twilight’s new…transformed state. “From what our inside man has done, weakening the girl’s will to build up negative results, was a sound success….even….the order to assassinate Azure Phoenix.” Cobra Commander exclaimed to mention in what was done here to make Twilight be weak enough to pull off something they could use to manipulate the girl…by toying with her emotions.

That news struck everyone that knew about Azure Phoenix, those from Canterlot High, even those from Crystal Prep because the man was a part of the Phoenix Family that the boarding school honors them. But to hear that a man like Azure Phoenix was no more…it made any feel sadden.

“You…did what?” Strikespell asked off in shock, that was a lie…his father couldn’t be.

“Azure is….” Celestia gasped in having heard this, the first man she loved was…it couldn’t be true.

“Alive, but not for long….he’s suffered a case where even his mutant ability will not save him…curtsy of what the hired assistant I sent forth performed. I imagine…he’s on his last dying breath. Or rather…he’s no longer with us!” Cobra Commander exclaimed forth in stating this while making a mockery about Azure being on his last few moments of life…or not.

“My father….is dead?” Strikespell stutter off to say this, as if not believing this news that hit him hard.

“It can’t be!” Iris exclaimed shock that Azure Phoenix can’t be dead.

Then suddenly without warning, Midnight Sparkle waved a left hand over at Cobra Commander, making the guy yelped from suddenly feeling a force of unknown nature pull him closer to the powerful girl. Then the man gasped in feeling his throat was getting choke by an invisible pressure as Midnight Sparkle lessen the hold to stare down the man after hearing….about Azure Phoenix being his doing.

“Say that again….if not…” Midnight Sparkle threatened the enemy to speak those words so she can hear them again.

“Guagh….come now, let us be reasonable….gawk-gawk….alright, I ordered the assassination. It was all to make you release the magic!” Cobra Commander was yelping to beg for reasonable discussions before he felt himself almost choke before giving in.

“Then you succeeded.” Midnight Sparkle coldly spoke off to say this with a dark look in her eyes.

“Whah….” Cobra Commander yelped off in not knowing what was going to happen next.

“Just one alternate to your plan. I’m not your pawn…I’m the master! I…Am….Midnight Sparkle!” Midnight Sparkle issued forth in announcing who she was not Twilight Sparkle, the weak push over child, but one to be in charge to make her own rules. “But if you want to see my powers….let me give you a close demonstration….as you feel….my….WRATH!” She was stating this off as she was strangely holding out her hand in what was…magical energy forming around them.

“Powwfuvhmmm…/Aaaaaaaarrrrggghhhhh!” Then a bright flash beam impacted Cobra Commander to be sent screaming across the spot & away from the attacker. “Clopsvhhmmmm…../Beeep-beep-beep, beep….” And then the villain was seen smashing right on top of someone’s car roof to leave an imprint of their body while having broken windows & let off a car alarm.

“Oh man, did she have to throw the bad guy right into my new car?” Shining Armor moans off in seeing what his sister did, sure the villain deserves such a beating, but why his new car have to get dragged into this.

“Guuuah-huuuaaghh….so much power…I’d never felt such in my life! Dark Curse…was right!” Cobra Commander gasped off in trying to get himself to stay conscious, as he tap an earpiece to speak to his nearby troops. “Cobra to all units, standby…we must capture anyone who we learn possess magic…They will be used for our finest operation…of Project End! Quickly assemble to await the signal, before I’m captured….ugh.” With the last moment of his breath, the commander fell unconscious from being so hurt.

However, even after whipping the floor against Cobra Commander, that just made everyone feel more terrified of the girl’s UNFOLD power & action that were…unbecoming of Twilight?

“Hhhuummm…” Spike whimpers to lower his head down in fear, he felt afraid of what Twilight has change into.

“I’m with Spike…this got a whole more scary!” Phobos whimpers to bid in Nyx’s bag in not liking this picture.

“Nuhahah-Hahahaaahhh….” Midnight Twilight was heard making an evil laughter as she continued to hover in the air, sounding as if feeling…joyous. “Sunset Shimmer….You were right before! I simply didn't understand magic before, but as of this instant, I do now!” Midnight Sparkle issued off with showing a strange side to her personality in sounding so very excited & thrilled; IT’s SCARY! “Powfruvhmmm…sisisivhmm…” Then without warning, her horn began to admit a blue fire aura as it reach the tip before…her eyes went white. “Plusfruvhmmm…” She fired a white magical beam at the Wondercolt statue at the moment. “Wrsuvhmmm….Breakfrrushvmmm…” Then the horse statue began to crack from light from inside before…it imploded on itself as many of the Rainbooms shielded from the thrown rubble before opening their eyes.

“Whossvhmm….” Then without warning, a new wicked tear was starting to appear as it shows a familiar place that was Town Hall in Ponyville…it was…

“Equestria!” Sunset gasped forth in seeing what the new rift tear had revealed, it was leading to Equestria Prime.

“Yes…” Midnight Sparkle smiled wickedly in enjoying what she’s doing here.

“Aaahhh….” Then from nearby, Flare Tiger clutches her stomach in feeling incredible pain.

“Flare Tiger, wha’s wrong?” Flower Dog asked off as she & Shadow Cat approached.

“It hurts….wha she did!” Flare Tiger exclaimed to say this while feeling so much pain.

“Why, how?” Shadow Cat asked off in not knowing what the girl was talking about.

“I’m connected by my power of Dimensions…the more she rips ta make them rifts, the more it hurts…have ta…stop her from endangering…” Flare Tiger was trying to speak, but she couldn’t…the pain felt too intense.

Then without warning, the new rift portal was cracking as Midnight Sparkle watch it move while preparing another move. Soon the crack ended near AJ, Pinkie Pie & Fluttershy in looking worried about this. “Powwfruvhmmm….Kapowfruvhmmm…” Then Midnight Sparkle fired another magical blast at where the Rainbooms stood if they did not dodge out of the way. But what was appearing on the ground was Rainbow Falls in Equestria, as a Pegasus stallion flew and saw something above that surprised him.

Without warning, there were screaming crowds of everyone of CHS & Crystal Prep trying to get away from the danger that Midnight Sparkle was doing. But all the way, more cracks in the skies were appearing as if more rift portals were about to be seen. “Frusvhmm…Powwvhmm…Kapowfruvhmmm…” Then Midnight Sparkle charged another blue magic blast that shattered a crack in the skies to show the Spa location as ponies there were running in fear. “Frusvhmmm…Powfruvhmmm…Kapowfruvhmmm…” Then the girl charged another blast below that shattered another crack rift portal to appear, showing Sweet Apple Acres.

“Brizizivhmm…” Soon sparks of magical volts were moving across the skies without Midnight Sparkle’s act as one opened a portal of the Frozen North. “Britrizizivhmmm…” But Midnight Sparkle was far from done as another portal rift appeared near her showing a train in Equestria passing by. “Popferuvhmm…” Then another bolt flare shot off under three Crystal Prep students where they saw the outside view of Ponyville to gasp in shock, even a mare in the background gasp in seeing someone looking at her.

Now two kids, Captain Planet of the Eco-Kid & Watermelody from the Drama yelp from the appearance of the portal rifts to split up to run from the danger like the others. But then Watermelody yelps in almost heading to a new portal rift heading towards…Manehattan!

Chaos was happening all around, everyone was trying to get away, others like the Strike Force & the Joes tried to help anyone get out of harm’s way as much as possible. But as Sunny Glare glares at what’s happening, she turns to see a worried Principle Cinch trying to quietly move away from all that’s happening.

“Hey! Where are you going?!” Sunny Flare asked off in seeing Principal Cinch trying to leave without helping out, but to the older woman’s annoyance by such an attitude from the young girl.

“Anywhere to avoid that...monster!” Principal Cinch exclaimed to wave off her right hand towards Midnight Sparkle’s rampage, causing even Sunny Flare to feel that address tone was….too much for a student like Twilight to be called. “And I suggest you do the same!” She issued off in what the principal suggest the student should do by getting away as that’s the smarter choice.

“Principal Cinch, wait!” Shining Armor arrived on the scene in stopping the principle of Crystal Prep. “That’s no monster, that’s my sister we’re talking about!” The guy heard what his sister was called, she is in no way…a monster.

“The term is…was…your sister, now look at her!” Principal Cinch pointed off that Twilight has become something that makes her dangerous.

“She only became this way because of you!” Nyx protest to say this in knowing that Principal Cinch was always forcing Twilight to do things for Crystal Prep by any means, & look where it got to.

“You both can squabble all you like, but I advise finding safe coverage.” Principal Cinch issued off to say this i knowing that it’s better to find safety when things are this bad.

As Principle Cinch leaves Shining Armor & Nyx behind, Sunny Flare looks back upset before looking terrified from the chaos her ex-classmate gone mad with power is doing. But then Sunny Flare looks to worried faces of Sour Sweet, Sugarcoat, Lemon Zest & Indigo Zap of what they should do; flee from danger or….something else.

“What about all of you? You just gonna let my sister…who has never done any wrong do this?” Shining Armor looked to the five Crystal Prep students if they just stand & watch; they were unsure about this…they never understood something that feels this frightful especially about Twilight. “Then I guess I’ll have to try to reach her.” He stated to say this in moving out to do what he can.

“Shining Armor, wait!” Nyx tried to stop their oldest brother, but he was dead set to talk Twilight down.

“Twiley, it’s me, your brother! Please, stop, don't do this!” Shining Armor called out to reach Twilight, but Midnight Sparkle only seem to show a non-caring response.

“Why? You barely even knew what I’ve been going through! The pressure of the school, the forceful means to be the best, the failure to please someone!” Midnight Sparkle exclaimed off in knowing that her older brother never knew about all such things.

“I’m sorry, I had no idea that any of that was happening behind my back.” Shining Armor apologized to his sister for never knowing.

“Well, it's too late for that now!” Midnight Sparkle issued to say in waving a hand that caused Shining Armor to be levitated away to hit across some trash cans.

Midnight Sparkle was still making more rift portals appear in the skies from the desert to even Cloudsdale. Sunset was looking worried, if nothing is done, Twilight will wreck this world…just then, Hoboken Joe was passing by after dodging a new portal rift opening from nearby.

“Sunset….can’t nothing stop her corrupted evil act?” Hoboken Joe asked the question off which Sunset thought real hard until…..she snapped her fingers.

“There is….the Rainbow of Light, Megan’s our best chance to save Twilight. Where is she?” Sunset stated off that Megan’s Rainbow of Light can help heal Twilight from her alter ego form, but first they need to find Megan.

“I think I done saw them inside, they were near the door fer de boiler room, but nobody seen them since.” Hoboken Joe pointed off where he last saw Megan & her siblings before no one else saw them.

“You have to find them, hurry! We need their help!” Sunset insisted that they get Megan if they wanna win this.

“I’ll try, but don’t give up….try & reach fer de REAL Twilight behind dat there face!” Hoboken Joe shouted off to say this as he ran off while giving the message here to Sunset.

Sunset Shimmer saw more rift portals happening, the military guys trying to help get all students to safety while avoiding portal holes; the girl looked to Twilight in fearing she at least has to try to reach her like Hobo Joe said.

“Twilight, listen to me, you can't do this!” Sunset spoke off to protest in which Midnight Sparkle looked down in hearing the teen object to her action.

“Why ever not?! There's a whole other world right there before my eyes, and it's just filled with magic!” Midnight Sparkle remarks doff to state the question as she clutch her hands in stating about another world to see that has magic like what she has. “Trusvhmm…Powwvhmm…” Soon she fires another magic blast straight downwards now.

“Kapowfruvhmmm…” Cadance got Celestia into the school just as she & Luna evade from another crack before Luna saw from the rift, another portion of Ponyville. Many of the students are looking worried & scared in seeing so many worlds across the rifts, Flare Tiger was heard moaning in pain as everyone knew that the more dimension rifts keep appearing in such an unmannered way, it’ll wreck this world. Sunset was seeing the commotion to know that what her corrupted friend is doing is going to ruin this world…

“But you can’t just force this many rifts to get there, you're destroying this world to get there!” Sunset exclaimed off to wave her right hand to the new rift that if Midnight Twilight continues, she’ll destroy this world, the EQG Universe, to get to Equestria Prime.

“So what of it?” Midnight Sparkle remarked off in a non-caring attitude about destroying her world to get to Equestria. “There's more magic there then this world could even dream & I want to understand it all!” Midnight Sparkle exclaimed to say this, as she was seen flapping her wings in preparing another powerful attack here. “Powfruvhmmm…KURPOWKURPOWFRUVHMMM….” She fired a big enough magic blast that Sunset dodged away from it, but soon the many students near the spot gasp at what was happening before… “KABLAMFruvhmmm…” Another crack between dimensions appeared beneath the ground. This caused all CHS & Crystal Prep students to try to run & scream away from this before they fall in.

“Uhhh….” Sunset skidded across the ground, until she look back at what her corrupted friend was doing, then spotted Twilight’s tech pendent, the thing that absorbed & contain all the stolen magic. “This thing caused all this….I just hope it can fix it.” She put on a determined face as she reached for it in thinking…maybe if this thing started everything, it can fix it too.

“Joes, Strike Force, take your positions.” Flint gave the order to Shadow Dragon’s group & the Joes here in about to take on the opponent before them.

“Ah man, I really hate to do this to a sweet girl that don’t know what she’s doing!” Ripcord complained to say this in not liking this at all.

“I don’t like it either, but the fate of the world is at stake against a powerful foe, we can’t afford to play nice.” Scarlet stated off to state reason over feelings about what is at stake.

“For real, we’re going to shoot down a kid, this is like shooting some kid that’s on drugs & don’t know what they’re doing.” Roadblock protest off to say this in being full on against doing this action.

“Look out!” Lady Jaye yelled out to warn them of danger.

The Joes & Strike Force scatter as more magic blast hit to cause more rift portals to appear, time was ticking and so many of them caused Flare Tiger to screech in pain as her teammates felt worried.

“Shadow Dragon, there must be another way…” Aqua asked off in hoping they can solve this by other means.

“Unfortunately….there isn’t….set weapons to stun!” Shadow Dragon stated to say this in not wanting to hurt Twilight, but hopefully they can stun her.

Soon many of them were firing their shots in hoping to hit the target, but Midnight Sparkle saw what was happening, & moved around to avoid all hits with her fast & agile wings.

“Be Gone!” Midnight issued forth to wave off her hand that unleashed an invisible blast impulse that knocked the military bunch out of the way.

“Come on, let’s find a nice safe place to hide!” Phobos issued to leap out of Nyx’s bag that they need to hide.

But then something happened to Phobos, Nyx & even Ben, as they felt they were deviated up towards…Midnight Sparkle that looked to the three with interest.

“Don’t fear…I intend to fully spare my ever…loyal…boyfriend & younger sibling.” Midnight Sparkle issued this off in what she was gonna do…in sparing those here.

“You…you are?” Nyx asked off worried about the thought as Twilight’s voice sounded…strange by that message.

“I’m not completely devoid of mercy for you…” Midnight Sparkle stated this off “But besides that, I’m going to need someone to act as my….personal….little play toy.” She was tipping her fingers around Ben’s hair to mess it up while letting off a hidden giggle of feeling joyful.

“Ugh, Twilight…you do know Nyx & Phobos are looking at us, right?” Ben seem to sweat in not liking how this version of Twilight’s personality was…being a bit daring by her words of choice.

“Don’t worry….” Midnight Twilight stated to levitate Nyx & Phobos to a nearby rake steps to be out of the way. “Better?” She asked to lean closer to Ben in about to be…very close for a kiss.

“Um….Twilight….this other side of you is…kinda new for me to take in at once.” Ben nervously spoke off in feeling that this side of Twilight was…like moving too fast on approaching him in what he will end up experiencing if nothing happens soon.

“Don’t worry, you’ll get used to it.” Midnight Sparkle smiled off slyly in stating this as she rubbed her left hand across Ben’s cheek before sliding it down to the chest to spot before…

Then without warning, a car drove off that transformed into Sideswipe that snatched Ben to let him go & pointed his blades against Twilight’s little body.

“Stand down kid, don’t make me hurt you.” Sideswipe issued off to warn the girl to not make him do something he really doesn’t wanna do.

“A Transformer…while I love to study & know more about…there’s more to be seen, & it’s…MAGIC!” Midnight Sparkle issued off in seeing who was here, but was soon preparing another spell before… “PowFruyvhmmm..KABOOM!” She fired it from her horn that impacted an explosion on Sideswipe.

“GAAAUGH…./Clupofruvhmmm…” Sideswipe was knocked all the way across the school’s open yard to land hard to smash right on top of the Tri-Rally Race Course.

“Holy….she’s already taken out both Dragon Strike Force, GI Joe & an Autobot without batting an eye!” Pinkie Pie yelps out to say this in seeing what was happened looked completely off topic to believe.

“Blast it! Not only did she take out both the Strike Force & G.I. Joe, but even a Transformer is easily pushable with a wave of her hands.” Strikespell clutched his hand in seeing how much Twilight was besting their soldiers.

“What else can stop her?” Iris asked off in what else may help save them & stop Twilight.

“Just….one thing…my warship.” Strikespell stated to say this,as he was seen taking something out from his suit’s pocket.

“No…you can’t use something that could level a country to kill an innocent girl!” Iris clutch her brother in debating against using something she knows would kill Twilight.

“Then what do you want me to do, wait for a miracle to save us all?” Strikespell asked off in not thinking that was something they can depend on, a random miracle.

“This is why I warn you of things….you should have let me finish this!” Storm Shadow stated forth to say this as he & Snake Eyes watch the events from nearby in wondering…what will happen next.

Back near the large crack ground, Tennis Match was seen yelping that the crack ground made her almost fall into the rift, but then Applejack step in to grab her classmate to hold on.

“Don't let go!” Applejack grunts to say this in telling her classmate to not let go as she used all of her might to help get Tennis Match up.

All around the large hole rift, many of the other Rainbooms were trying to help; Pinkie Pie was helping pull one female Crystal Prep up by the arms as she was belly flat to the ground while having difficulty. Fluttershy yelped for the cracking hole as she stepped away with Spike near her. Nearby were the three of the five Shadowbolts that were Indigo, Lemon Zest, & Sugarcoat as they seem to be a mix of terror of the horrors going on. Before the three looked to Sour Sweet & Sunny Flare in showing strange expressions of silent & calm motions while still mix with fear about what they should be doing when seeing all this happening. That even though this is scary, other students are endangered & some are being brave to save them….that’s a daring motive to show that even when facing a scary challenge, put aside that to focus on the goal at hand…especially for a life at stake.

“We ready to do this.” Then without warning, Sour Sweet nods her head to the others in knowing…just what they should do.

“Uh-huh!” Lemon Zest showed a confident smiling face to nod in response to the manner of what they are gonna do.

The rest of the five girls from Crystal Prep nod their heads in having come to a sound compulsion; they are gonna do something that should have been done from the start. As they soon moved out without warning here…

At the moment, Cadance & Luna watch the events as Rarity & Rainbow Dash were helping some students from falling into the large rift portal before them.

“Waaaughhh!” Rarity was seen trying to help save Fleur Dis Lee & Velvet Sky, but their weight was too much for the flimsy girl before she & the others made yelp cries in slipping off as she grabbed onto the edge to hold on.

“Hang on Rarity!” Rainbow Dash called out as she was helping to pull Bright Idea up as best she can in seeing Rarity endanger, but she has to finish this side first.

“Obviously!” Rarity was struggling to hold on by her one hand on the edge to rhetorically state the issue that she’s hanging on alright, with two more students pulling them down into a rift, she couldn’t do anything BUT HANG ON! “Uuuuaaghh….Uuuuaaagh….” Rarity looked scared as she was slipping, the weight was too much, they were gonna fall from what was below a sky distance into Equestria; even if they fell, the height distance upon landing would be the end for them! “WAAAAUGHHH!” Then Rarity cried out when her hand slipped, this looked to be the end until…two mysterious hands came out to grab Rarity & it was…

“We got you!” Indigo Zap spoke off as she & Lemon Zest hand their hands in holding onto a stump surprise Rarity, as she, Velvet Sky & Fleur Dis Lee saw two Crystal Prep students….saving them! Soon the two worked together to pull the three girls up out of the large rift hole as Rainbow Dash continued to pull Bright Idea up; all while Sunset watch this event.

“Beep-beep…” At that moment, Twilight’s device was responding as the rims glow as Sunset tried to figure out what it was doing. “Prusvhmmm…” Suddenly, it projected two lights ahead & Sunset suddenly became…determine about what this might be; a last chance to stop the madness.

All around, surprises are seen in what was going on that was something never believe to happen between two rival schools….the aid to help each other! Sweet Sour was pulling Pinkie Pie’s legs up with her might as the pink girl pulls up the Crystal Prep girl she held onto. Sunny Flare was seen helping Fluttershy up from almost falling into the hole with Spike aiding a paw.

From Fluttershy, yellow magic aura was glowing off her body which surprised her as it did for Spike & Sunny Flare. The tech pendent stopped it’s rejection of light as Sunset stared focus on what was seen before she was surprised…Fluttershy’s stolen magic had somehow…returned to her. Then the tech pendent let off its light rays again in another direction as the girl noticed to follow where it pointed at.

From where Indigo Zap was, she smiled in having help Rarity out of a jam which she was shown thankful of. Then to Indigo Zap’s smiling surprise & Rarity’s stamp surprise, she felt…her violet magic aura glowing around her. And as we turn to seeing Tennis Match thanking Applejack as she smiled back, she also had helped from Sugarcoat which made a great save. At the same time, Tennis Match & AJ were surprised while Sugarcoat was lightly surprised to see Applejack glow an orange magic aura.

“M-M-Master…what’s happening out there?” Bray asked off in not knowing what was going on now.

“Their bodies…it’s their magic! But how…it was stolen unless…no, could that have help them recover so quickly?” Dr. G. Gar exclaimed to say this while gasping at what could be the reason behind this.

The tech pendent was glimmering around the rims, as from every side, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Fluttershy & Applejack were glowing their traditional colors of their own magic within them. Sunset was staring to gap at seeing this, & then from reopening her eyes, it began to dawn to her of what was going on. Looking at the tech pendent, she became firm serious in knowing what needs to be done now.

“Twilight, listen….This isn't the way!” Sunset turn to speak up to Twilight in hearing her out. “I know you feel powerful right now, power like you never experienced before, like you can have everything you want from it!” Midnight Sparkle smirk with joy, but then her attention fell upon hearing the words Sunset was speaking to her with as if…trying to tell her something. “I’ve been where you are right now, I've made the same mistake that you're making here!” Sunset points to what was happening around them, stating that she too had gone through the same thing. “I put on a magic crown and, just like you, I was overwhelmed by the magic it contained from inside it! I thought as long as I had that, it could get me everything I wanted!” Sunset explained about her past from the Fall Formal in what it turn her into a She-Demon as she told to Midnight Sparkle about how having such things meant she would have all she ever wanted.

“Oh, you're wrong. So very wrong, Sunset.” Midnight Sparkle shook her head with a sly & cocky tone smile in remarking the matter here about what Sunset was lecturing her about. “For you see, unlike you, I can have everything I want!” Midnight Sparkle posted at Sunset in declaring that unlike the girl that failed to gain everything, SHE on the other hand will obtain all she’s ever wanted like a derringer madman…err…woman!

“No Twilight, you can't. Even with all that magic & power you possess, you'll still be alone!” Sunset protest to say this with a stern firm face in staring at the odds as she was trying to reach out to the girl to hold out her hands in stating that no matter how powerful Twilight is; she’ll end up being all alone.

“Lies! I will not be alone! They will be with me! Ben and….” Midnight protest off in hearing this to state what she still has, but…

“But will they be happy with who you become?” Sunset asked this off firmly about the question.

“What?” Midnight yelps off in not understanding…Ben, Nyx & all of those she cares for would be happy with her…right?

“Don’t you get it yet? True magic comes from honesty!” Then as Sunset held up Twilight’s tech pendent, as it glimmers….the words Sunset spoke began to effect in where something was happening…AJ’s body glowed to shot off a magic beam in the air. “Loyalty! Laughter! Generosity! Kindness!” For each of these represented words said, Rainbow Dash’s body glowed to shot off a beam in the air, the nPinkie Pie’s body glowed to fire a beam too, Rarity’s body fired a beam of magic too, & lastly Fluttershy’s body fired a beam of magic; as everyone saw around the large crater rift hole, five represented elements shine that made all students stare in awe before…the beams were focused into the pendent that Sunset held upwards against Midnight Sparkle. “I understand you, Twilight, & it’s because of that, I want to show you the most important magic of all…” Sunset spoke this as she was hovered up into the air as the five magic forces were creating a magic orb from the pendent that was all rainbow colors before it was shut.

“Wha…what’s she doing?” Strikespell asked off in being shocked, what was Sunset going to do after seeing one magic become out of control.

“Frushvmmm…Powwfruvhmmm…” Then in a fast response instant, Sunset threw the tech pendent onto the ground, causing a massive explosion to cover the girl. “Thrsuspvhmmm-Ssizizivhmmm…” The tech pendent was soon destroyed, & all of the collected magic from the Rainbooms was flowing out in a swirl pattern before an orb grew around…Sunset’s body.

“Noooo….she destroyed it & has now return their magic that was trapped within!” Dr. G. Gar protest in seeing what happened, with the device destroyed, all of the magic that would have been taken was free to return to its rightful owners; the Rainbooms.

“Frusvhmmm…” Soon Sunset was completely swallowed into a bright sphere of light, but it was nothing like what happened with Twilight. Soon a fire form of magic was coursing through around the girl, feet wore orang-yellow boot-straps with a familiar symbol of hers on the top of the feet, from the hands were short white gloves, then from Sunset’s forehead was an orange ball as….red & yellow stripe lines went across her eyes like a mask. Soon from the forehead came a straight shining yellow horn, she opened her eyes as her hair was straight up like a lit fire image, wore a pink dress gown of one’s theme of a fire passion with a dangling tan yellow furry pony tail attach to the dress & shining fiery wings of gold light. Unlike Midnight Twilight’s appearance, what happened with Sunset in her transformation seem like a calm, blazing champion that will shine against the darkness…almost angelic.

“Wow! Sunset’s gone and done something like Twilight, transformed to gain her own alter ego in a more angelic way; Daydream Shimmer!” Pinkamena exclaimed off in seeing how much Sunset’s body has really gone through a change…for the better.

“Why Daydream?” Goldie looked to his sister in having heard that.

“Cause she’s like the day you feel like it’s a dream away from seeing the dawn of a new shining day.” Pinkamena issued off to randomly give an answer to the question.

“I suppose that makes some sense.” Jack Zen shrug off to say this in thinking that’s good enough.

“...the Magic of Friendship!” The now revealed transformed Sunset as Daydream Shimmer finished her earlier statement of what magic there was yet to be learn….the magic that is from…friendship.

Midnight Sparkle cringed a bit of her hands in seeing this in shock, Sunset has gain magic & a transformation as well…how could that be? Everyone around was seen smiling, AJ. Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rarity & Rainbow Dash…they along with many others around saw what looked to be a miracle moment. One angel of a former villain, one innocent soul in a corrupted state, both have the power…this will be…the decisive moment.

All sides from the Strike Force & G.I. Joe watch in amazement of what was happening, even a certain Autobot that was thought to be down & out, but is not yet...

“Uuaagh…..Autobots….respond….situation here crucial!” Sideswipe was seen lifting his head from where he crash into the second round’s course to start a transmission video link of things.

“We’re on our way, what is the status?” Optimus asked off in what was the means of the report.

“Twilight has become corrupted, but now…Sunset has been involved in the same light without being corrupted…for the final face off.” Sideswipe reported of what was going on at this time between a final showdown of two magic users.

“Wow, looks like the Goddesses of the Sun got more goddesses!” Wheelie’s voce was heard on the intercom in what they see.

“You do realize that’s not a real word, right?” Brains’s voice is heard making this status quote about a word.

“Just hurry here, I’ll be on my feet by the time you arrive.” Sideswipe ended the calming, as all he can do…is watch what happens next.

“Frusshvmmm….Powfrvizizizvhmmm…” Soon Daydream Shimmer was preparing a purify magic from her horn in crossing her arms, then fired them off from her hands in different directions. “Whizzzvhmm-Whizzzhvmm….WHIZZ-WHIZZ-WHIZZ-Whizzzzvhmmm,….” Soon the random rift portals were closing up in golden light before vanishing, the students, Celestia, Cadance & Luna yelp in seeing this as another portal closed by them,& many more were closing up rapidly.

“Uuurragh! What have you done?” Midnight Sparkle grunts in seeing what Daydream Shimmer was doing, her chance to go to another world of magic was…foiled; that was making her so mad. “You will pay for this!” She dives down in looking mad as she was seen preparing a magic ball to attack.

“Let us end this.” Daydream Shimmer exclaimed in seeing with a calm, but fire motive as she dash ahead too towards her corrupted friend.

“Boomfrvuhmmm…” Both the magical girls clash their tan orange & blue balls of magic against another, creating a large form of bright light between two powerful magic beings as everyone shielded their eyes. But as the light died down, both Daydream Shimmer & Midnight Sparkle pushed each other back, they appeared to be evenly match.

“Woah…they’re evenly match!” Flash exclaimed in seeing this, Twilight & Sunset are about even in their fight to decide the fate of everything.

“Krrussuvhmmmm…./Resssivhmmm….” Soon both Midnight Sparkle & Daydream Shimmer were preparing their magic blast shots within their hands. “Powfruvhmmm-Klupowfruvhmmm….” Soon both magic blast shots were colliding against each other, as two opposing forces of good & dark magic were fighting….& it looks like Midnight Sparkle was on a losing streak! “Kresuuufruvphmmm….” But then the girl was forcing more pressure on her attack, pushing it backwards against a struggling Daydream Shimmer.

“Gwuhuhuhhahahaahhh….It’s over now!” Midnight Shimmer lets off an evil laughter in smiling at her victory in having MORE magic power than Daydream Shimmer had from her friends.

“Trsususuvhmmm….” Daydream Shimmer was looking like she was struggling, she may have the magic power from the Rainbooms, but Midnight Sparkle has them PLUS the Portal Magic, that gives her the edge.

The students all seem worried in thinking their last savior to save them may fall prey to the mind corrupted acts of a fallen genius. Everything was on the verge in where it looks like nothing was gonna save the day unless an open window of opportunity could suddenly happen. Soon, Spike leaps out from Fluttershy’s arms, as he ran off, Nyx & Ben were nearby to look to another, nod with a serious face, & followed afterwards.

“Twilight! Don’t do this!” Spike called out in trying to reach for the REAL Twilight inside of Midnight Sparkle…hoping not all of her was corrupted.

“Twilight!” Nyx also called out in trying to reach the Twilight that was still around & not gone forever.

“Twilight! Don’t give up! I know your good inside; that was the thing I loved about you the best! Please…don’t risk losing us over what’s corrupting you!” Ben was heard making this louder comment in trying to reach the girl he loves to know how he feels.

As Midnight Sparkle gaze with smiles of victory, her ears picked up the sounds of someone, more someone, to look down in being…concern. Below, Spike was showing his puppy dog pouty face, Phobos also showed his to as Nyx & Ben showed worried expressions of concerns…as if not wanting Twilight to do this.

“Spike? Nyx? Ben?” Midnight Sparkle suddenly spoke out, but….as the real voice of Twilight as her glowing eyes faded at this time, like the real one saw how upset she made those she cares for be

“Twilight,” Then appearing from nearby, was Starlight Sparkle, as even Midnight Sparkle turn to see him on top of some cars. “Hear me….Azure Phoenix is not dead! We saved him! He’s still ALIVE!” Starlight called out to say this as he yelled this out as loud as possible of the news that had to be heard.

“Starlight? Azure Phoenix….alive?” Midnight Sparkle responded with Twilight’s voce as her eyes felt as if…regret over the action she’s causing.

During the power struggling, Daydream Shimmer felt a weak action in her opponent’s attack. “This might be my last chance to save her! Here goes!” She put on a determine face in seeing what she needs to do here, as she goes for the goal. “Vruusssvhmmmm…Vruzuzuzuvhmm….” Soon Daydream Shimer pushed her magic power from a higher height as Midnight Sparkle was slipping in her attack before her eyes change back from being Twilight to realize…her mistake of the closing attack.

“Noooo!” Midnight Sparkle was seen yelling out in being engulfed by the attack as it burn off her tan turquoise flaming glass wear while she completely was blurred out in a white void.

Soon everything was silent as Midnight Sparkle held herself from feeling the force of that attack with shut eyes in having expected the end. But then she opened her wings & her true eyes that were belong to the real Twilight to look outward in fear as she & Daydream Shimmer were in a white void together. Then at the moment, the one who was victorious was hovering closer to the scared & frighten loser…expecting the end….but….it became something…more.

“Stay away….don’t hurt me.” Midnight Sparkle spoke off in not wanting to be hurt again.

“No one will hurt you…I’m here to help…” Daydream Shimmer exclaimed calmly to her confused friend.

“Lies…I’ve lost it all…I’m…an outcast again…no one wants me.” Midnight Sparkle protest in hearing this, she has lost everything now…

“Did you not hear the voices of those that cared for you…the real you responded to them…you know why, don’t you?” Sunset spoke off to say this in telling Twilight something to know what she heard before.

“Because…I care…for them.” Midnight Twilight recalled a little bit of the words her…family said.

“Take my hand, Twilight.” Daydream Shimmer spoke this forth in offering her left hand, speaking in a sound voice of compassion & comfort for the lost soul. “Let me help show you there's another way...just like someone once did for me.” As Daydream Shimmer stated this with a right hand to her chest to approach the frighten Midnight Sparkle, her words in how someone helped her…was a settlement of how Pony Twilight showed her the way as she’s doing for the Human Twilight.

Midnight Twilight floated a bit back in fear, but Daydream Shimmer still gave an honest & friendly smile…to help the girl. Midnight Sparkle was fearful of accepting, but then…her eyes began to water as if…feeling maybe….maybe…what was right this whole time was before her eyes. She shut them, then with tears from the eyes, she slowly rose her right hand towards Daydream Shimmer in showing an expression of…wanting to be helped & be with…those that care. At this time, both hands touched one another, & from Daydream Shimmer, a fiery form swirl around Midnight Sparkle’s hand to approach the rest of her as she showed….a happy smile before shutting her eyes that let loose tear drops as…feeling something warm enter her body as the magic of friendship swirl around her horn…& all began to fade out white…

Soon a bright light flash over near where the students watched this, as they saw two begins hovering down to the ground in which the pillar of light began to shrink. Everyone was spell-shock & mesmerized, before the pillar of light vanished, & soon standing on the ground was Sunset Shimmer & Twilight Sparkle, both out of their transformed alter egos. They looked a little messy around the hair with eyes shut while still holding their hands. Just before their eyes opened, Sunset smiled while Twilight seem to…blush worriedly.

“I’m…I’m…I’m so sorry...I didn't mean for any of this to happen…to go this far to endanger people…” Twilight took back her hand from a worried Sunset, as her eyes were near tears in feeling such regret from losing control of herself from such an outburst; she felt absolutely terrible for becoming a monster.

“I know you are.” Sunset nods her head in fully understanding what Twilight was feeling about now. “And listen, going by my own experiences from what I one did, they'll forgive you.” She smiled in patting her chest to simply state this to wave a left hand to Twilight in knowing…those around Twilight, will forgive her of her actions.

Soon Sunset clasp Twilight’s hands as Twilight opens her eyes before looking at Sunset…with a teary smile. Even those watching showed expressions of happiness, relief & joy, from the Rainbooms to the five Shadowbolt girls & all the other students.

“Woof-Woof!” Then Spike in heard barking before he leaps up to tackle Twilight with her glasses in his mouth.

“Guhahahahahh…” Twilight was heard giggling with a happy expression as she hugs Spike happy.

“We’re glad your back, sis,” Nyx smiled off happily in stating this fact.

“Bark-Bark!” Phobos barked off in response to the matter in sounding joyful.

“And this time, you’re not alone. I love you, Twilight.” Ben smiled forth to say this to kneel down, give Twilight a comforting hug.

“I love you all too.” Twilight smiled off to say this in returning the hug.

“We’re all here, family, & friends.” Starlight stated off to proudly say this in who they all are for Twilight…

Now Ben’s little group gathers around to hug Twilight as the girl felt so happy, she couldn’t help but giggle off for joy; her family, friends & lover…are all here, together with her. It was the perfect happy moment…

Well now appearing out from hiding behind a step rake, was none other than Principal Cinch. She looks around in seeing if the danger has passed which it has, but then became strict, as then appearing to walk to Crystal Prep’s principal was Celestia, Luna & Cadance with their own…serious expressions, like they have something to discuss here.

“Principal Celestia, I speak on behalf of Crystal Prep, that I demand that you forfeit the Friendship Games!” Principal Cinch angrily issued off this list of complaint in what Celestia to point an accusing finger at the woman & pointed it down, just as Celestia was taking this with a calm mood, Luna & Cadance approach with their own moody expressions. “It would appear clearly that CHS has had unfair advantage for quite some time! And it's certainly isn’t obvious to see, that your students have been using magic for their own benefit!” She crossed her arms in strictly issuing this matter about CHS having something like magic to make the students here have more advantage against other students from other schools which is completely unfair. Course as the woman was belittling the issue, Rarity, Lemon Zest & Sugarcoat were nearby in staring at the strict woman for making such claims to gain victory in the games.

“Really, I’d like to think that saving the world benefits us all, don’t you think?” Celestia made a confident smile in stating this sly matter about what benefit they get from their world being saved from such calamity.

“At least CHS didn't manipulate Twilight into releasing all the stolen magic she collected & turning into a power-crazed magical creature that nearly was trying to rip the world apart just to win a silly game.” Sugarcoat had her arms cross in bluntly speaking off this remark issue in frowning to glare at Principal Cinch for having pushed Twilight into doing all that which was to help Crystal Prep win at the cost of everything else.

Pretty much, Principal Cinch was looking around from Celestia, Luna & Cadance in seeing the students gather around to look at the strict woman for having pushed things that hard to help one team win.

“Wow! You know, that's a lot to take in when you say it all at once like that!” Pinkie Pie quoted off to say this in feeling puzzled out by having heard all of that; she smiled at Sugarcoat for really pointing it out.

“That's ridiculous!” Principal Cinch protest off against having done such a thing.

“Nope, that's pretty exactly as how much of what happened.” Spike bluntly spoke off from Twilight’s arms in stating this as he glared at the woman as Principal Cinch yelped backwards in seeing…a talking dog. Even the other Crystal Prep girls looked at Spike with interest in having heard that.

“Actually, in truth of it all, we're all to blame.” Sour Sweet sweetly spoke off in looking down in taking the guilt to say this as Twilight look to the girl; for once, she was taking things serious to expression what happened to Twilight because they pushed her into it. “But mostly it was her.” Then she sourly spoke off in stating that it was Principal Cinch for having caused the problem to begin with.

Principal Cinch was stump shock that her students were speaking out against her in her rash action that caused the problem.

“Obviously the case is clear, my students have been infected with your magic, but I’m planning on taking all of this up with the school board!” Principal Cinch issued off to strictly speak off this case to hold her right hand’s index finger up before throwing down to discuss the issue of this magic mania with the school board to hear what CHS has done.

“Wonderful. I’m sure the board would be very interested in hearing all about the magical students with the wings, the ears, & tails.” Celestia smiled off confidently in stating this off to happy be glad that the board would hear something about…magical students that Principal Cinch will tell the board about.

“Oh, and then there is the portals to different dimensions.” Luna smiled off to joke around the matter in pointing out another factor Principal Cinch will have to state about.

“And don't forget to tell them about the talking dog. Gehehehh…” Cadance smiled off to wave off a hand in stating one more fact to be told while giggling about the idea.

Principal Cinch was seen gritting her teeth & narrowing her eyes in having been told about such things that once reported & realizing how silly it all sounds, even the school board would think it was all…crazy talk about magic this & that!

“Right because that would never ruin your reputation after all.” Spike spoke off slyly in stating this about what happen to Principal Cinch’s reputation if she reported such nonsense as Twilight & Sunset smiled off in knowing that much was true.

“Oh wait, maybe it would.” Phobos was heard talking in making a sly comment which made Nyx, Ben & Starlight Sparkle smiled off in seeing that was a true statement.

“Then…then at least the Military will provide crucial evidence!” Principal Cinch was stating in who will be the witnesses to it, the Strike Force & the Joes…even the alien robot can’t deny what they saw for more witnesses to believe.

“I’m sorry Principal Cinch, that won’t be happening either.” Strikespell was seen approaching with Iris carrying him with her arm over her shoulder to speak off in terms. “This matter will be remain unheard of to the world, with already the existence of outside alien life….the matter of reporting the existence of a magical world with far more power than our current technology would create pandemonium.” He explained that if they reveal the existence of magic to the world, it’ll only cause trouble as did when everyone learn of metal robot alien lifeforms & of what happened in New York & most the rest of the planet during the beacons event to bring a whole planet to their world.

“Mr. Strikespell, but why not…you of all people should be furious in what this school has done & would ruin the school your family has held in respect for generations.” Principal Cinch asked off in trying to reason with a man that should know what this will do to their school.

“Not everything can last forever & somethings are not worth losing over one thing, for another.” Strikespell signs off to say this when looking at Iris Crystal, realizing something that too him this long to understand. “I too am to accept the blame for what manipulated us to push one girl into such a situation. Therefore Principal Cinch, let us just accept the matter, not ruin ourselves any more than what he have.” He issued to simony say this in what they should best do, drop all things & carry out whatever dignity they still have then embarrass themselves any further over something they can’t win against.

Principal Cinch heard all of this as she looked around to see a sly smiling Sunny Flare, the stern face of Fluttershy, the sly face of Rarity, Lemon Zest, proud faces of Goldie & Jack Zen along with Starlight Sparkle, the cocky attitude of Rainbow Dash & Indigo Zap. The woman looked to the other side, seeing a frown cocky Sugarcoat, a perky Pinkie Pie, sly Sunset, a happy smiling Twilight with a cocky smiling Spike, a smiling Sour Sweet, a cocky Applejack, a sly smiling Phobos, Nyx & Pinkamena & a proud smile on Ben’s face. CHS & Crystal Prep students are all united against one’s own self-center act, Principal Cinch looked ready to explode at any moment until….she fix her suit while keeping a calm mood.

“As you say Strikespell, whatever our respected founding member wants…Crystal Prep will be honor bound to see it through.” Principal Cinch exclaimed off to say, as she turns around to leave with her dignity intact, as a frown Sunny Flare & emotionless Sugarcoat turn to watch their principal leave in seeing when she’s beat.

“Hm-hm….nicely done in playing her, brother!” Iris giggled under her breath in seeing what Strikespell did; he knew that Principal Cinch would never risk losing any dignity to report fairy tale stuff among other things; so now…the magic around CHS is kept a secret again.

Celestia, Luna & Cadance smiled in seeing how all things went well in the end.

“Well, I know to say these Friendship Games haven't been what any of us expected on more occasion than one.” Celestia spoke off to hold out her arms to the group gathered around her that they all showed such…happy smiling faces. “But given what we've all just been through & seeing things that truly show the meaning of friendship between our schools, I think it's fair to declare us all winners.” Celeste spoke forth in announcing this to all those that represent their schools as she held up her arms in announcing that everyone here…is a winner.

Then without warning, there was loud cheers with everyone pumping their hands & fist in the air in liking the sounds of that; they are all winners. Even Applejack tossed her hat in the air to cheer in loving the sound of that very much.

“Oh….but only one can truly be called…a winner.” Spoke an evil voce that sounded like a familiar doctor everyone knows.

That’s when the staff, students, military & Sideswipe turn their attention to find; Dr. G. Gar, Bray, Cobra Commander on his feet, & Jason…clutching a struggling Principal Cinch. Then before anyone knew it, Jason tossed Cinch across to impact against a nearby bus, causing a dent & the principal of Crystal Prep to be knock out cold. Everyone gasped in such a cruel means, sure Principal Cinch was mean & strict, but trying someone THAT bad is never rig,t; especially someone siding with Cobra.

“Dr. G. Gar?” Twilight gasped off in seeing her old therapist with an enemy.

“That’s not all, Cobra Commander’s standing with him.” Duke sternly gazed at who else was on the scene.

“Jason…what is the meaning of this action?” Shadow Dragon snapped off in demanding an answer.

“Shut up Dragon! You think this settles things, think again!” Jason snapped off to say this while a blacken & dark aura surrounds his very being.

“That dark aura….it’s the same as what happened with Strikespell!” Iris gasped in recalling having seen that aura of darkness before.

“Which means he has a Dark Stone!” Sunset stated off in what this could only mean of what Jason is under.

“Different from the fragment he gave to Strikespell to keep him controlled. It was so simple to manipulate him, Jason, along with the principal & you…Miss. Sparkle.” Dr. G. Gar calmly address the manner of where he manipulated all of the players to do his bidding; surprising everyone.

“But it looks like you all ruined the moment.” Bray stated off to say this with a cocky response.

“But don’t threat, your games maybe over, but the war…is just starting.” Cobra Commander issued off to say this in knowing things are not over yet.

“What war? What are you bickering about?” Strikespell snapped off to demand answers from this man that leads a terrorist organization.

“DUNGHHNN…..DUNGHHNNN….” Suddenly, Dr. G. Gar’s bell ornament was making loud bell noises that caused the wind to blow in an uneasy motion. Then loud sounds of jets flying in the air, heavy tanks moving across the neighborhood & heavy footsteps of…soldiers.

“First, the bell chimes in announcing the gathering & then afterwards…was the plan to invade to conquer not only this world…but another.” Dr. G. Gar exclaimed forth in stating what his bell was doing in signaling those to come forth in where there was a nefarious plan involved of conquering not one…but two worlds. “But it seems we’ll have to improvise…for you see, the REAL Games…will begin now.” He quoted that seeing that with Twilight’s stable mind from trying to create rift portals, they will just have to implement a different plan to improvise the original.

Soon the entire CHS members were looking out at fear in seeing all of the things about to approach the school. Those that could see what was gonna happen had to get themselves ready because while it looks like the Friendship Games are not long pass over them….a new game is about to begin, one many will know; A WAR GAME! As everything begins to fade out, no one knows what sort of evil is about to be unleashed that may just rival up to having averted another disaster already, what will happen….remains to be seen…

Author’s note
Phew, this was really long, but got made. But this isn't over, we got...A TWIST! After everyone believed the problem within the games was settled, Dr. G. Gar has revealed what he's done as a Crystal Prep staff member in plotting to use the rift portals to now signal enemies from Cobra, the Dark Terrorists, even the Decepticons in about to go to war. Things look bad, but Optimus & his Autobots arrive to aid the gang, now it’s the Dragon Strike Force VS. Dark Terrorists, G.I. Joe VS. Cobra, & Autobots VS. Decepticons. But even as the battle continues, Strikespell uses this moment to finally end things here by unleashing his Cybertronian Warship...or will Iris plead for him to not go so far? And what if the ultimate weapon for peace really does become a weapon of war, especially when...Cobra Commander did something to it? Then afterwards, Dr. G. Gar...uses a special 'magical' change of Strikespell's warship to his satisfactory taste from the obtain magic from CHS...& will be the first step towards...Project End. And what happens when the Rainbooms are magically teleported onto...a new enemy base? What will happen...stay tune...
