Chapter 17: Resolution of the Friendship Games

The next week had came and the competitors were all getting ready for the supposed "redo" of the second round of the Friendship Games. Not that there was any friendship in the games, but lets move on. At Toxigo's home, he was getting all of his gear together so he can meet up with Rarity and Pinkie.

"Now, do you have everything you need?" Adagio asked.

"Yes mother." Toxigo mockingly said.

"Gear?"

"Yes."

"Alicorn Amulet?"

"Yes."

"Know all of the rules?"

"Yes."

"Remember to have underwear?"

"Do you really need to ask that?."

"Just double checking. See you when you get back."

"Okay. And tell Sonata to stay off the internet! I don't want her having nightmares from those very graphic images she saw." Toxigo yelled out just before stepping out the door.

"Okay. Bye!" AU Adagio said before Toxigo closed the door. At that moment, Adagio lept out of her chair and ran into the empty garage. Except it wasn't empty. It was being used as an autobody working area. Right now, Adagio was working on a strange machine. The machine was colored bronze, made of titanium, and it was in the shape of a living human being. Soon Adagio pulled a lever on some machinery and electricity bolts fired down towards the titanium form. Then, once the bolts had stopped zapping, the figure's eyes had opened up and arched its body up.

"ITS ALIVE!!!" Adagio yelled in joy.



Both schools were now over Canterlot High again, ready for a redo of the second round, Almost all of the students found having a redo absolutely stupid and ridiculous considering the Friendship Games were over and because the writer had zero idea on how to work here, but they ended up coming anyway. The competitors entering in were the same girls as before, but this time, they were going in pairs of threes for the challenges. For the archery, it was now Sour Sweet, Royal Pin, and Fleur vs Twilight, Applejack, and Fluttershy. The roller skaters were now Rarity, Pinkie, and Toxigo vs Sunny Flare, Lemon Zest, and Neon Lights. And in the final group, it was Sugarcoat, Indigo Zap, and Upper Crust vs Sunset, Rainbow, and Flash Sentry. All the students were in the bleachers ready to watch, the teachers were in their chair, and the competitors were ready. Down below in the skating track, Tox and Rarity were having a conversation discussing the peculiarity of the redo of the Friendship Games.

"Rarity, remind me again, why are we doing a redo of the second round?"

"Because they have hard evidence of our magic against us that they took on their phones, and if we don't do a redo as they wanted, they'll expose our secrets to the world. We can't let any of it happen."

"Yes, but why a redo of just this challenge? It makes no sense whatsoever."

"Maybe the writer didn't have an idea on how to do this scene and was too lazy to come up with an idea and decided to go with this." Pinkie replied with a cat grin.

"Okay...." Tox said with a hint of awkwardness. "So overall, there is absolutely no point in having this redo, it only exists to further the plot?"

"Yep!" Pinkie exclaimed.

"Very well then."

While they were standing waiting, Sunny and Lemon were looking at them, questioning as to whether they should talk to them. Soon Lemon spoke up, and asked. "Hey, Toxy. You uh... You doing okay?"

Toxigo didn't say a word and kept his focus forward.

"Dude, you alright? We're just worried about you."

"You're not worried Lemon. You never were. You weren't concerned about making me deaf with your headset, why would you be worried now?"

Lemon didn't say a word after that, being worried of him possibly attacking her. So then they all waited, then as Dean Cadence blared the horn, the competitors began. The archers got to their places and went through the archery with no problems. Eventually the skaters began and moved their ways across the track. Toxigo led the charge followed by Rarity and Pinkie, and with Neon, Flare, and Lemon right behind them. Toxigo moved his feet in perfect motion to keep himself faster than the Shadowbolts. Luckily Rarity and Pinkie were up close with him and were ahead in the lead. In the stands, all of their classmates were rooting for their teams as they watched them continue to race and run. But in the archery stands, Sour Sweet's cheering wasn't for their own team. It was for the Wondercolts.

"WHOO!!! Go Toxy!"

"Why are you rooting for that snot colored guy?" Royal Pin complained.

"Because I want to fix one of my mistakes. Something that none of you seem to care about."

Back down on the racing track, Pinkie and Rarity continued skating in a perfect grace but then Sunny Flare and Lemon Zest pulled up next to them. "Hey dudes!" Lemon yelled.

"Hi!" Pinkie yelled.

"Lemon? Sunny? What are you doing? Shouldn't you be focusing on winning this?" Rarity asked.

"We aren't concerned about winning this. We don't care about winning this. All we want to do is leave Crystal Prep." Flare responded to Rarity.

"Well, why?"

"I know we five told you were we feeling bad about Toxy and wanted to make sure he was okay, but, we want to make up to him. Apologize, talk to him, anything."

"I highly doubt he will talk to you so easily. Considering everything you all have done to him, I don't believe he'll forgive you girls so easily." Rarity replied.

"I don't expect him to forgive us easily. I just want to make up to him. All of us do. And by the way, Cinch hasn't been piling a workload on us."

"What do you mean?"

"Neon Lights told Tox and some of your classmates she's been piling the workload on us. She hasn't. He's only been spreading rumors just to get all of us to work together to try and take you all down once more. And that includes Toxy."

"I cannot believe him! He would do that!?"

"He's a bully Rarity. He may not seem like it, but he is. In fact, he's the whole reason we're in this, he influenced Cinch to have us enter in this redo in the first place." Flare replied sounding sad.

But as the two of them continued to talk, little did they see that Neon was planning a dirty trick against Toxy. Neon was speeding forward and waited for the right moment to strike, but--

"Toxy, look out!" Pinkie yelled.

That got Tox's attention as he spun around saw Neon getting ready to grab him only for Neon to fall face first into the asphalt, letting Tox get away from him. Neon pulled himself back up again and chased after Tox. Only this time he was aiming for something else. As a personal revenge for himself and for all of the Crystal Prep students, he attempted to lunge at him to rip his prosthetic arm. Right. Off. Neon threw himself forward but Tox evaded the lunge, Neon stopped in the middle of the path to try and block Toxy's way but he just went around him, and he tried to jump at him from left and right but he still had no luck.

"Is Neon trying to take down Toxy?" Twilight asked.

"I believe that varmint is." Applejack exclaimed.

But then out of nowhere, a figure in a hoodie, blue skirt, bright blue skin, and short black leggings underneath the skirt came running in on skates entering the skating track. She came charging in at Neon but Neon saw her coming in, and he swung a fist towards her face. The punch knocked her down so hard she fell and the hood was flipped off revealing to be...

"Rainbow Pride!?"

Everyone gasped to see that Rainbow Dash had skated onto the track. But as they turned to see the motocross bike still there, they saw Rainbow Dash and Sunset Shimmer were still standing there. Indigo and Sugarcoat were both shocked to see Rainbow Dash still leaning against the seat cover on the bike, and they had no idea for how there was a second one down on the skating track.

"Wait a minute, there's two of you!? Ugh, never mind. I've got business to take care off." Neon said with a scowl.

Soon Neon skated after Tox again and this time both of them were engaging in a fight. Each threw punches and kicks at each other while skating, but both of them kept standing and skating while the audience watched their fight and started betting on who would win. Most of the bets were on Neon, but a few students had their bets on Toxy. But eventually it came down to Neon and Toxy grabbing hold onto each others arms pushing and shoving, and they persecuted each other with words. And little did they know they were being followed by the Rainbow Dash double and she tagged Tox and Neon with hidden mics and what they were saying carried over to the loud speakers for everyone to hear.

"What do you have against me Neon? Just because I wanted a friend it gives you a reason to pick on me!" Tox glared  clenching hold of his suit.

"You don't understand snot-skin. You've been a pain in our backsides ever since you came to our school. Constantly trying to make friends, wanting to stand out, it sickens me to no end." Neon sneered.

"How can it sicken you!?"

"Our attention was on the Friendship Games, you never paid attention to it, and you never showed any pride in us. We're the best school America's ever gonna get, and you know it."

"Really? You have the audacity to say that!? So you're saying the best school here will beat up a student for his entire life for not showing support, and get everyone in the school in on it, while the staff didn't do anything about the bullying, constantly abuse him to a point he just wanted to personally wanted to die!? And why are you even mad at me? Shouldn't you be mad at Cinch. You said she piled on a workload." Tox replied.

"Oh she didn't pile on a workload. I only spread a rumor just to get everyone at Crystal Prep to turn their back on you. So no one will be your friend. So no one will ever want to be friends with a pathetic, prosthetic limbed, outcast."

"I never had friends there to begin with!" Tox yelled.

"I know! But now you can't!"

"Guess what Neon? I don't want friends there anymore. Because hanging with all of you these years has led me to only death, pain, and destruction. Well guess what, I'm not taking it anymore. You can't hurt me anymore, and I'm certainly not letting you hurt me here." Tox snared.

"Oh about that? All of the events happening here, I convinced Cinch by showing my video evidence of your actions to make it look like you and Canterlot High were threatening us. Still can't believe that old hag fell for it. Not to mention all the rules she made being less strict and being more merciful. That's not the Cinch we know. Which leads us to right here and right now." Neon said getting ready to try again.

"You're soulless Neon. You only do these things for petty personal revenge. Yes I get you hate change, yes I get it that you hate me, and what happened at the Friendship Games. But I beg to ask, what is there to gain by doing this? You'll only get yourself into bigger trouble than you already have."

"The only trouble that's going to happen is to you. And what makes you think you're more powerful than ever before? I've heard several conversations with you about that."

"Because all of your abuse has made me more powerful than ever before, and I possess something that Crystal Prep doesn't have."

"And what might that be, Metal Gear?"

"Friendship. Compassion, empathy, honesty, kindness, laughter, loyalty, generosity, acceptance, forgiveness... magic. Something none of you possess in your precious academy." Tox mocked.

"SHUT UP! Its time someone told you not to come to Crystal Prep, and to never, interfere, with people's, LIVES!!!!"

At that moment Neon ripped his prosthetic arm right off and threw it far enough that it landed in the concrete ground of the archery area. But the way it landed activated a light from the gem in the palm which shined a holographic projection. And at this point Tox had frozen in place and just from the look on his face, Rarity, Flare, Pinkie, and Lemon could tell he was about to go onto an emotional breakdown. The projection that was displaying were all from his vision. They showed the attacks and abuse from the students at Crystal Prep, which also included the five Shadowbolt girls he absolutely despised. Everyone was in shock and awe at the horrific images that they were looking at. Fluttershy was so horrified that she ended up crying and Applejack had to hold her. Sunset and Rainbow had their jaws and eyes widened in horror of the sight of the torture and gross visuals that they were looking at, and Sunset was tearing up. Even Abacus Cinch was horrified at what she saw. But for poor Tox, all he could do was run. And he ran right out of the arena and didn't come back.

After Tox ran out of the area, Abacus Cinch, Principal Celestia, and Vice Principal Luna walked on down to the track and managed to gather everyone around who was involved. Those would be the Human Seven, the Shadowbolt girls, Neon, Royal, Jet Set, Upper Crust, Fleur, and Suri.

"What happened here is unacceptable!" Cinch yelled.

"I agree, is this the Friendship Games or the Hunger Games?"

"I was speaking on your behavior Neon!" Cinch barked.

The CHS students were shocked to hear the tone from her. They knew she was mad at them for supposedly "cheating" at the Friendship Games and for not beating them in the competitions, but not a single one of them thought Cinch would get mad at her own students for their hurtful actions

"That goes, for all of the behavior done by my students. All of you are in serious trouble. You bully that poor child, who only wanted a friend, and you treat him like he was nothing but a bug! What you've done is unacceptable, and I won't allow that kind of behavior at Crystal Prep!"

"But you blackmailed Twilight into the Friendship Games! Why are you suddenly now taking responsibility for this!?" Indigo yelled.

"That was the old me, Indigo. Looking back on what I did, that was most unprofessional and downright evil. And I should never have blackmailed Twilight in the first place. No one should be forced to release a power they don't understand nor control, and I should never have forced her to make that decision in the first place, our world was almost destroyed due to my actions, and that is unexcuseable. But we're getting off topic here. After all that was shown from that... limb, I've seen enough to know that my top students are doing more than bullying."

"Oh come on! That's not the Cinch we know! Why are you suddenly making these new rules about being more soft on us? What happened to the lady who was tough, strong, knew how to rule things!? You've become nothing but an old hag!" Neon yelled.

Everyone gasped after hearing that comment. They could only imagine what would Cinch's response would be.

Abacus then paused to keep her cool, but continued on. "As far as all of you are concerned, you all are in a heap of trouble. You are all suspended, until such time as you learn to not abuse your classmates. I would have expelled you, which should be the more appropriate option here, but I'm going to let your parents decide your own fate. I've already called your parents, and they'll be picking you up momentarily. Now I suggest you wait outside for them to pick you up."

The students then proceeded to leave, but Abacus said something else in between. "Indigo, Lemon, Sunny, Sour, Sugarcoat, you're not going anywhere. You come back here." Abacus said with a stone, cold voice.

"I'll get to you five in a second. I however have things to say to Canterlot High. To all of you, I am greatly sorry for all of my actions. I understand I shouldn't have gotten off the hook so easily with what I've done, and I don't expect you to forgive me so easily. But I want you to know, I am deeply ashamed. What I've done is unacceptable, and I want to make up for it."

"How so Principal Cinch?" Principal Celestia asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I heard some of my students had trashed your gym room where you were planning on having a party for new students and welcoming parents. What if I helped prepare for the party? I could order and make some of the food for you all."

"I would suppose so."

"If you're not going to interrupt the party and turn everyone back against each other when they starting to get along for once! Which put all my time and effort to waste!" Pinkie yelled with anger. She had been wanting to say that to Cinch ever since her party was ruined.

"Of course Ms Pie. Not this time. The party will continue without any interruptions from me or any student from Crystal Prep. Now, as for you five..."

Sunny, Sour, Sugarcoat, Indigo, and Lemon all cringed in fear as to what their punishment would be. "I've seen enough footage showing what happens when you've become irritated over a simple game, and I've seen what happens when I pushed you all to do my nefarious bidding. I don't even know what do to do with you five."

"Wait a minute Principal Cinch. I think I may have an idea. They all said they were feeling guilty about what they did to Toxy and I think I might have an idea on how they can all resolve their issues." Sunset replied.

While Sunset explained her plan Twilight ran over to where the mechanical arm had hit the group and grabbed it while also picking up whatever parts had fallen off from it. She then rushed back over to where the group was standing.

"Its damaged pretty badly, a lot of parts had fallen apart. I think I can fix it but I'm going to need time. When is the Welcome New Students Party?" Twilight asked.

"Its happening tomorrow."

"Not a problem. I can have it fixed by then. I just hope Tox is okay."

But at that moment, they all turned their heads around to a responding voice who was leaning against a railing next to them.

"I just got a call from Tox. He's not really happy. And he sent a message saying Die, Crystal Prep, Die." They were facing the double Rainbow Dash that they had seen before but had no idea how she was there. But what made this Rainbow stand out was that her voice was sounding a tad distorted and she was speaking through a vocoder.

"Does anyone have a reason for how there can be two Ms Dash's?" Abacus asked.

"Outside of the Equestria's Rainbow Dash learning to adapt to this world very quickly, I have no idea." Twilight responded. Then hitting a few buttons on the arm, she managed to trigger an identification on the second Rainbow Dash. "Uh guys? This Rainbow Dash isn't living. She's not even someone from Equestria."

"Well then what is she?"

"She's a-" Twilight didn't finish her sentence because at that moment she accidentally hit a button on the arm that shot electricity bolts towards the double shocking her instantly. However she still managed to keep awake while crouching on the ground, but everyone could soon see she had steam coming from her. Once she got back up they all backed off in shock. The electricity surge had shot a bit of her skin off, and major chunk was revealed on her left eye. From their vision it revealed to show bronze metal skin, and with an orange eye. Almost everyone was frozen in place after what they had seen.

"Is...Is that, a Terminator!?" Pinkie yelled.

"You've been watching way to much sci-fi movies Pinkie. But that is... awesome!" Rainbow exclaimed.

The now revealed and steaming cyborg had no option in mind. So she decided to run out of the arena while everyone else let her go.

"What...was...that!?" Came from a yelling Indigo. "Please tell me that wasn't any magical creature or spirit that Tox whipped up to punish us!"

"No, what I was going to say was that she is an android." Twilight responded.

"A what?" Cinch asked.

"That's a creation in science fiction. Basically a robot with a human appearance." Sugarcoat bluntly stated.

"Well whatever it was, it was not something I was expecting." Cinch finished.

While the sight of the android wasn't something they had expected, that wasn't anything that was on their mind right now. A plan had been set in motion for the welcoming party. The five Shadowbolt girls would all apologize to Tox, big time, and Cinch would help Canterlot with the Welcoming New Students Party. But for now, they only hoped Tox would be okay.
