After the sleepover at Pinkie’s house, the Rainbooms have started practicing their music at Applejack’s family farm in the barn, and it’s hasn’t been going well even though they played well but the sound as they play together makes it clear that they’re not in sync.

“Okay girls, the way you’re playing now isn’t working.” Flash pointed out as Sunset nodded.

“Well, at least you’re getting a little better than the… first five times.” Spike tried to comfort them.

“Nope.” Big Mac said walking by.

“I think it’s pretty obvious what’s wrong with the counter spell.” Rainbow Dash claimed.

“You’re turning what should be a chorus into a five-minute guitar solo?” Applejack asked sarcastically.

“I have to pick up the slack somehow. Are you guys even trying?” Rainbow Dash asked.

“I’m trying.” Fluttershy said.

“We know, Fluttershy, and they are trying, but you keep doing things on your own instead letting your friends be part of something great.” Flash lectured. Rainbow Dash looks away with a little angry look.

“Perhaps we should take a short break and try on some of the wardrobe choices I put together. I’m particularly fond of this one.” Rarity changed her outfit into a pink marching band style.

“Of course, we could always go with something a bit more modern.” Rarity suggested.

“We’re trying to save our school here. Enough with the costumes.” Applejack said with an angry tone.

“Ah! You can never have enough costumes.” Rarity stated now wearing a different outfit.

“She just wants to make things fun. Isn’t that what being in a band is supposed to be?” Pinkie Pie pointed as she makes a beat.

“You don’t have time for any of this. You’re supposed to check in at the Battle of the Bands in 15 minutes.” Sunset informed and the girls gasp as they start packing their instruments.

“But it’s not ready?!” Twilight panicked stating that if the spell doesn’t work in the first round letting the sirens know what they’re up and will try to make sure they don’t play again.

“Hey Twilight, don’t worry, you know the old saying “Always save the best for last” meaning you and the others can still play your other songs and save the counter spell until the final round.” Flash suggested.

“Hmm, that’s a plan I can get down to.” Applejack agreed.

“Totally, we’ll play for real and reach for the final round!” Rainbow Dash nodded before turning to Twilight.

“You’ll have figured it out by the finale, right?” Rainbow Dash asked.

“Of course, she will. Twilight Sparkle’s never met a problem she could’ve solve.” Spike bragged.

“Right, Twilight?” Spike asked his pony princess.

“Right,” Twilight answered nervous.

“Then let’s go win us a Battle of the Bands.” Rainbow Dash said and the others ran out the barn.

“Things aren’t gonna go so well for us, is it?” Sunset asked Flash.

“I fear if the girls don’t really put together on this, then they might end up giving the Dazzlings what they want.” Flash said, Sunset becomes worry now.

(Canterlot High Gym-Stage)

“Welcome to the first Canterlot High School Battle of the Bands. I believe I speak for everyone when I say it is by far the greatest thing we have ever done here at this school.” Celestia said on the microphone and the students cheer loud.

“We are so glad our three newest students encouraged us to turn this event into something exciting.” Celestia gestured toward the Dazzlings who are sitting at the top. Then Luna takes the mic.

“But as this now a competition, we can only choose one winner. Who is it going to be?” Luna asked and now the students argues again giving off the negative fog that the Dazzlings absorbed into their pendant.

“You feel that girls? Our true power is being restored.” Adagio smirked and they started laughing together until Adagio stops the laughing when she sees the Rainbooms and Flash.

“And that’s before we’ve tapped into the strongest magic here.” Adagio said as she believes those girls’ magic will make them more powerful than ever.

“But the Rainblossoms—or whatever they’re called—aren’t under our spell. How exactly are we supposed to get their magic?” Aria asked.

“The Rainbooms are just as capable of failing apart as anyone else. They just need a little push in the wrong direction. I have a feeling everyone is going to be lining up to give them a shove.” Adagio believed.

“Okay, but what about Flash? I think he’ll try to protect them.” Sonata pointed out.

“We’ll worry about him later, right now, we have a competition to win.” Adagio smiled sinisterly.

After the first three performance from each band, and one horrible rap song by Snips and Snails, they Rainbooms are up next.

“Let’s get ready to rock!” Rainbow Dash excited.

“Wait, where’s Rarity?” Pinkie Pie asked seeing their fashion girl isn’t here.

“Ooh, here, I’m here!” Rarity ran up to the group wearing a hippie-style outfit though the girls and Flash aren’t exactly impress.

“We will be performing in front of an audience. I’m not going to wear something fabulous?” Rarity asked sarcastically. Applekjack facepalmed herself of Rarity annoying obese with costumes before they go on stage getting ready to play.

“Remember, we have to be good enough to make it through but not so good we let the sirens see the magic within us. They could realize we plan to use it against them.” Twilight reminded her friends.

“Got it! Be cool enough to win, but not so cool that we end up showing off the whole ears and tails and rainbows thing. Sooo... about twenty percent less cool.” Rainbow Dash understand in her own way.

“I’m gonna check the backstage to make sure if there’s anyone trying to stop them.” Flash whispered to Sunset before leaving.

(Music- Shake Your Tail, Equestria Girls Rainbow Rocks)

“One! Two!” Pinkie tapped her drumsticks and the music starts playing.

High above the stage on the bridge, three girls are looking over the Rainbooms with smirks on their faces. One leading the two is Photo Finish, breasts sizes: F-cup, and she plans on ruining the Rainbooms’ performance starting with Rarity by using magnets to take away the sleeves of her outfit. However, they find the magnets are not on the string they tied them on.

“Looking for these?” Flash asked sarcastically revealing himself to the girls while holding the magnets. He quickly ties them up in the ropes they were going to use.

During the song, Pinkie notice the young Crusaders are pretending to be sleep and Applebloom says it’s boring. The party girl decided to try and liven things up by firing confetti in the air.

Twilight accidently swallowed a piece of confetti making her cough, Fluttershy quickly helps her by smacking the confetti out with her tambourine. Twilight smiles at Fluttershy silently thanking her and they continue singing.

Snips and Snail are on the high bridge planning on scaring Fluttershy off the stage using the high stage light, but Flash is already standing next to the high stage light giving the boys the “Disappointing” look with his eyes glowing red. The two boys chuckled of being very scared on the inside and slowly climb back down.

(Music End)

The Rainbooms finished their performance as both Principal and Vice-Principal are very impress giving them a round of applause though most of the students didn’t do anything as only few claps slowly for them.

“Oh my, that felt really good playing like that.” Applejack commented.

“For sure, darling, I thought there were going to be some sabotage.” Rarity sighed in relief.

“There are.” Flash said walking to them with the tied Photo Finish band.

“These three were going to use magnets on Rarity’s outfit to make her look goofy, and I also caught Snips and Snail trying to scare Fluttershy away using the stage lights on her.” Flash informed.

“Damn, it’s a good thing you came along.” Rainbow Dash commented.

“But seriously, Pinkie, what was with the confetti? How am I supposed to shred if there's paper stuck in my frets?!” Rainbow complained.

“It was pretty distracting...” Fluttershy soft of agreed.

“Oh please, if it wasn’t for Flash stopping Snips and Snail, you would’ve been hiding from a light. A light!” Pinkie back talked.

“Guys, you still did great than most of the other bands. I'm sure you'll make it to the next round. But it won't matter if you don't have that counter-spell ready. You all find a place to practice where the sirens can't hear you. Me and Flash will keep an eye on things around here.” Sunset suggested as she see Derpy’s band starting to play.

“Why exactly does Derpy think a saw would be a musical instrument?” Flash confused.

“Probably wanted to do something unique.” Sunset shrugged.

“I don't think we should use a classroom.” Twilight stated since all classrooms are closed for the competition.

“Then we’ll use the music room, I think it’s still open.” Applejack suggested unknowing they walk past the Dazzlings.

“So much for using others trying to break them.” Aria sighed of annoyance.

“With that cutie Devil boy by their side, making the Rainbooms fall apart isn’t going to be easy.” Sonata pointed out.

“I know, but let’s not worry much. This is only the first round, after all.” Adagio stated.

“The next band to take the stage will be Trixie and the Illusions.” Celestia announced over the speakers.

“Better head back, we’re supposed to go on after Trixie.” Adagio said and the three sisters walk together back to the stage.

However, they soon stopped when they saw Flash and Sunset leaning on a wall each side of the hallway to the door of the backstage as they are glaring at the Dazzlings.

“You're never gonna get away with this.” Sunset proclaimed.

“Why, because you didn’t?” Adagio asked in a mocking tone shocking Sunset.

“Oh, we know all about you, Sunset Shimmer. You've got quite the reputation at Canterlot High.” Adagio said.

“But Sunset change, and it was because a demon dog inside her body. She’s a much better person than ever before.” Flash stated as he holds Sunset’s hand which makes her happy.

“Oh yeah, and how long is everyone going to accept you being part Devil. Some people will call that an unholy union or whatever.” Aria mocked.

“They can say all they want, but I will continue using my powers to help protect the people and kill any evil demons in the stylish way possible!” Flash declared as he brings out his Rebellion holding it high proudly with a faint red aura on him.

“(Whoa, that’s hot!)” The Dazzlings thought blushed a bit.

“W-Whatever, you still won’t be able to stop us.” Adagio said.

“Because you have Arkham and the demons, right?” Flash asked shocking the girls.

“How’d you know about that?” Aria demanded.

“I had a little run in with him yesterday after school, he also mentioned something about your mom.” Flash revealed shocking the Dazzlings and Sunset.

“What, their mom?” Sunset gasped.

“Ugh, I knew we could’ve trust that freak guy!” Aria snarled.

“…It matters not, at the end of the Battle of the Bands we will be victories and will be adore by everyone in the world. Not even you can stop us.” Adagio determined.

“Does that mean you’re all doing this for your mom or for yourselves?” Flash asked.

“Of course, we care for our mom, she helped us when we were all alone after being banished to this world by Stars Swirl.” Sonata explained showing actually kindness in her eyes.

“Shut up, Sonata!” Aria growled at her youngest sister.

“Enough, you two!” Adagio yelled and look back at Flash.

“I’m only going to say this once, you maybe the handsome Devil of the school, but once we win the competition, we’ll turn everyone against you like being outcast.” Adagio threatened.

“That won’t happen, the Rainbooms will stop you!” Sunset believed.

“Really, because it looks like they’re not doing well getting along for much longer.” Adagio smirked.

“Tell Arkham that whatever he’s planning, I will stop him.” Flash said. The Dazzlings just glare at him before walking away to the backstage.

“Well, at least we know the Dazzlings aren’t very fond of Arkham.” Flash pointed out.

“But there’s still the matter of their “mom” they mentioned which I can only guess is from this world too.” Sunset worried a little.

“And she’s probably a demon too.” Flash said.

“What makes say that?” Sunset asked.

“I got a good scent of demon on them, and from what Sonata told us this demon may actually be kinder than the others I fought.” Flash explained.

“A kinder demon? That’s weird.” Sunset commented.

“And you know what, I bet Arkham is using her a leverage to use the Dazzlings for his own plans for the Battle of the Bands.” Flash theorized.

“Wow, this just makes this more complicated.” Sunset said.

“I know, that means we gotta be prepared for whatever happens from here including the final round.” Flash determined to wrap this case up.

(With Arkham)

“Yes, yes…” Arkham smiled under the hood looking at the crystal ball in his hand.

“The gathering of negative emotions from the Dazzlings are proven to be more effective than I could hope for, and it’s only a matter of time before those girls fall under MY spell.” Arkham laughed evilly it echoes throughout the dark room.

KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!

Flash has made a declaration to stop the Dazzlings from completing their plan and hopefully to stop Arkham who seems to be cooking up his own scheme involving the sirens’ power, this competition is getting more fierce with the intense music playing from everyone and maybe the Rainbooms will fall apart too. Flash will have to do his best to keep the girls in check while making sure no one gets hurt, especially it involves demons.
