The Dazzlings are standing close to the stage behind the curtain just as Trixie and her band have finished playing their song getting some cheers from the crowd and went backstage smirking.

“Remember, girls. We want to save the good stuff for when our full power has been restored.” Adagio reminded her sisters of the plan.

“And the devil boy, Flash won’t even do anything to us during our performance if he doesn’t want everyone in the school to hate him more.” Aria smirked.

“I feel bad that we have to make him go away, he’s really cute.” Sonata confessed with tiny blushes on his cheeks.

“I’ll admit the guy has a… certain charm, but he’ll just be like everyone else who gets in our way.” Adagio stated.

“Next up are the Dazzlings!” Celestia announced.

“Here we go, girls.” Adagio smirked as they walk up the stage and began singing.

Like before with the cafeteria and the party yesterday, everyone who is listening to the song are being affected by the Dazzlings’ magical singing making them adore them as well as making them feel negative toward each other.

Meanwhile, throughout the song other contestants are competing against each other like Bulk beating Snips and Snails with his violin and Flash’s band beating the hippy group. Flash is making it look like he’s taking the competition serious, but really, he’s keeping an eye on the Dazzlings and on the lookout for any demons.

Those who have won the first round have gone up to the second round and are being meaner to each other especially to their own band as this makes the Rainbooms worry some more.

Speaking of the Rainbooms, Twilight is starting to become a nervous wreck trying to come up with a song for a counter spell against the Dazzlings, but she couldn’t think of anything despite the nice pep talk she had with Flash last night.

Everyone is being smoothed by the siren sisters’ song as the Rainbooms are doing their best to keep themselves in the contest though Rainbow Dash maybe taking this a little too serious.

Trixie’s band seems to be doing okay making it far than anyone expected consider they thought her claim of being good at music was a false one, but she has been proving them right.

Rainbooms are backstage arguing among each other trying to decide what song to play next while Twilight keeps writing on the notebook and erasing some words multiple times and panicking at the same time.

Flash is seen arguing with his bandmates as they think their lead singer is holding them back and doesn’t care about the band anymore since they lost to the Dazzlings. Which is exactly what Flash wants so that the Rainbooms can face them in the finals, but he’s worry that something bad might happen like a sudden demon attack popping though he hasn’t since any demons around so far.

(Music End)

“Okay girls, this is it.” Flash said to the Rainbooms.

“Last round and you're in the finals! Unless you think the counter-spell is ready to be played now.” Sunset asked Twilight though she didn’t respond meaning it’s not ready.

“Don't worry, Twilight. Finals aren't until tonight. We'll get in a little more practice before we're supposed to hit the stage. We won't let you down!” Applejack promised as the others agree.

“You won't let me down...” Twilight whispered worry as Sunset and Flash notice this.

“Um, I was just wondering. We haven't played any of my songs yet, and...”

“It's the semifinals. We gotta do "Awesome As I Wanna Be".” Rainbow cut off Fluttershy with her own suggestion.

“Don't know why I even asked...” Fluttershy sighed.

“Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy was just suggesting a song and it wouldn’t hurt to play them.” Flash advised.

“Yeah, yeah, we’ll play them later.” Rainbow Dash said not really paying attention.

“(Okay, now I’m starting to worry.)” Flash thought.

They heard Trixie’s band finish playing their song and walk off the stage as she comes to the Rainbooms.

“Hmph. You're never gonna top that performance, "Rain-goons". You shouldn't be allowed to when you have such a big advantage over the rest of us.” Trixie stated.

“My superior guitar playing and off-the-charts awesome singing voice?” Rainbow Dash asked sarcastically.

“I think she’s talking about Twilight.” Flash pointed out.

“Exactly. If you were really all that, Rainbow Dash, you wouldn't have needed to bring in some magical ringer to have half a chance. Everyone's talking about it.” Trixie mentioned with a smug.

“Ha! Puh-leeze! I could win this thing as a solo act and everybody knows it!” Rainbow Dash proclaimed.

“Sure you could.” Trixie scuffed before throwing down a smoke bomb and she disappeared.

“She's gone!” Pinkie gasped.

“Guess all that practice with her was gotten better.” Flash impressed.

“Next up, the Rainbooms.” Luna announced.

“Knock 'em dead, Rainbooms!” Sunset cheered before Flash leans to her ear.

“I’m sensing demonic energy coming from under the stage.” Flash informed.

“You sure?” Sunset asked.

“Positive, we need to check it out.” Flash said, Sunset look back at the Rainbooms hoping they’ll be okay before going to the under the stage while Spike stayed behind to keep an eye on the girls.

(Music: Awesome as I wanna Be, Equestria Girls’ Rainbow Rocks OST)

Flash and Sunset made their way to the entrance of the under stage quietly going in without anyone noticing.

“You brought any flashlights?” Flash asked.

“Guess it’s good to be prepared for something like this.” Sunset smiled before shining a flashlight on.

“Nice.” Flash amazed, making Sunset blush and they wonder around the under stage.

Rainbow Dash sings the song while the others just act as her backup singers which is becoming annoying to the girls that their rainbow-haired friends just want to show off her guitar shredding skills.

“Okay, the demon should be around here somewhere unless it’s invisible.” Flash said looking around seeing no demon, but still sense its presence.

Sunset notice little pebbles shaking and feel the ground shaking a little with her hand, she place her ear on the ground hearing something in the ground digging its way up fast.

“Huh, Flash… I think I know where the demon is.” Sunset said.

(Music End)

Rainbow Dash didn’t finish the song as a giant demon worm suddenly pops out of the stage wiggling around viciously with Flash holding on to Sunset in one arm while keeping the demon worm’s mouth open with the other and his legs between the sharp teeth.

“Damn, this guy’s breath sink.” Flash disgusted of the demon worm’s breath from his nose.

“Can you insult the demon’s dental hygiene after getting me off this crazy ride!” Sunset begged as she’s starting to feel from all the wiggling around.

“Sure, sorry.” Flash apologized before jumping off the mouth and landed on the audience sits setting Sunset down gentle.

“Let see how you can handle my big number!” Flash jumped toward the demon worn pulling out his guns shooting the worm.

Everyone quickly evacuate for it was too dangerous to be around when there’s a demon attack, the only ones who stayed behind was the Rainbooms and the Dazzlings and Sunset being on the high ground of the audience sits watching Flash kick demon butt. If some of them even have butts to be kicked.

Flash kept dodging the worm’s body tackle while shooting though the bullets are barely leaving a mark on its body like it’s made of iron, then thought of a crazy idea that just might work.

“Okay, you overgrown earth snake, have a taste of this!” Flash shouted before jumping up high.

The demon worm quickly reacted and swallowed Flash whole causing everyone to gasps including the Dazzlings as they are actually worry about him. The demon worm was about to set its sight on the Rainbooms for its next meal to next, but before the demonic bug could even launch itself forward to them, it suddenly started to groan and squeal in pain. The reason for that is because bullets have started popping out of the body from the inside fired by Flash Sentry himself as he figures the inside wouldn’t be as tough as the outside is and kept firing until he cut the head off with Rebellion.

The demon worm’s body fell to the ground laying dead with green oozing blood coming out and Flash standing victory on the head.

“That’s what I call losing your ‘head’ in the excitement.” Flash punned placing his sword on his shoulder.

“Dude, that worm just ruined my song!” Rainbow Dash angered.

“I think us being alive is more important than the song, Rainbow Dash.” Applejack pointed out.

“But we never got to finish playing meaning we won’t be able to move on to the finals!” Rainbow Dash pointed out.

“Don’t worry, I’m sure Principal Celestia and Luna knows the situation and will make the decision.” Flash said.

“Yeah, decide on making Trixie the winner since I’m powerful and great.” Trixie bragged.

“Grr, this is all YOUR fault, Flash!” Rainbow Dash snapped.

“And pray tell why this is my fault?” Flash asked even though he might already know the answer.

“It’s because the demons are after you that you’re related to that stupid great-grandfather or whatever Sparta!” Rainbow Dash pointed out.

“It’s pronoun Sparda.” Rarity corrected.

“Who cares, our chances of being in the finals is ruined by him!” Rainbow Dash angered.

“And I thought you were supposed to be the ‘cool’ one, Rainbow Dash.” Trixie joked, Pinkie laughs for a few seconds and stop.

“I don’t get it.” Pinkie confused of the joke.

“Ahem.” Celestia got the students’ attention.

“Luna and I have decided that the band moving on the final round is… the Rainbooms!” Celestia announced.

“What?!” Trixie gasped.

“Did they just say, "the Rainbooms"?!” Pinkie asked shock.

“Yes, yes they did.” Flash answered.

“This isn’t over.” Trixie growled as she stomps away.

“You should know better than anyone that the Rainbooms were gonna win even without the sudden demon attack.” Flash stated.

“You were saying something about ruining the chance?” Sunset asked Rainbow Dash with a smirk. Rainbow Dash didn’t look at Sunset as she cross her arms under her breasts.

“Congratulations, girls. You deserve it.” Principal Celestia praised the girls.

“Seriously?! Even though we didn’t finish our-” Rainbow Dash stopped Pinkie from finishing her sentence not wanting to make the Principal rethink her decision.

“We’ll see you at the final.” Celestia said before she and Luna leaves as some of the other students are angry at the result.

“I get the feeling the Dazzlings gave Celestia the “idea” for the Rainbooms to move on to the final round.” Sunset stated the Dazzlings used their magic on Celestia and Luna.

“I agree, plus I think would’ve been pointless to hide their magic from them anyway.” Flash said.

“Why’s that?” Sunset confused.

“I think the Dazzlings already knows the Rainbooms have magic powers because they’re the only ones who are not effected by their music magic meaning they know.” Flash explained.

“Great, that means they’ll try to get their magic by any means including in the final round.” Sunset sighed worry.

“Not to mention the Rainbooms going at each other’s necks.” Flash pointed at the Rainbooms minus Twilight arguing with each other.
‘
“I’m more worried about Twilight, it’s like she’s losing confident in herself.” Spike mentioned.

“Guess all the pressure of being count on is starting to make her lose focus.” Sunset worried.

“And after all that pep talk we had last night too.” Flash sighed.

(With Trixie)

“This is a travesty! A travesty!” Trixie angered as she kicks the wall brick wall outside of school.

“It really is!” Adagio said, she and her sisters walking up to the angry performer.

“The Rainbooms don't deserve to be in the finals. Not when your band was so much better in the semis.” Adagio said playfully.

“And wanted it so much more.” Aria grinned.

“Alas, this is the way it's going to be. Dazzlings vs. Rainbooms.” Adagio pretended to be sad.

“Unless, of course, the Rainbooms don't manage to make it to their set or held up for some reason.” Sonata blurted out loud on purpose as they walk away leaving Trixie to think.

“I’m glad we weren’t caught by that demon worm.” Sonata said.

“That Arkham guy better had not sent that thing to kill us or else I’m gonna kill him!” Aria threated.

“But how, you would be dead by then?” Sonata confused, earning a glare from Aira.

“It doesn’t matter, our plan is still coming together, and we’ll soon have our full power to do whatever we want!” Adagio declared with an evil smile.

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

Well, the Band of Battle rounds were intense including the weird demon worm attack, but Flash was able to take care of that though there are still the Dazzlings to be careful with as they have plans to get the Rainboom’s Equestria magic for themselves. The final round won’t just be about winning the Battle of the Band, but it’ll also be a win of lives from a dangerous threat that is coming and probably worse than the Dazzlings.
