Gohan's Second Chance
Chapter 47: Equestria Girls: The Friendship Games
Previous Chapter Next ChapterGohan and Goten were training outside.
They were not Super Saiyans.
"Gohan? How strong are you compared to me? Please don't lie." Goten said.
"Do you really want me to be honest?" Gohan asked.
Goten nodded and smiled.
"Okay, I am stronger than a regular Super Saiyan without going Super Saiyan." Gohan said.
"Really!?" Goten asked. "You're super strong!" He said.
"Well, thanks." Gohan said.
Then, Gohan realized he had an obligation in the human world.
"Goten, we have to cut training short." Gohan said.
"But why?" Goten whined.
"Well, I have a duty somewhere. Want to come? It'll be fun." Gohan said.
"Sure!" Goten said, running after Gohan. "And can we fly this time? I like that better than teleporting." He said.
***
Gohan and Goten were in Twilight's castle, when... Nobody was in the castle.
Gohan didn't pay too much attention to that.
The two stood in front of the portal. "Goten, this leads to a new world. It's awesome. It replaces all of the ponies here with humans." Gohan said.
"Really? That's cool! Let's go in!" Goten yelled.
Gohan chuckled. "Yeah. Let's." He said as the two entered the mirror.
***
Rainbow Dash and Applejack were outside on the school steps.
So were the Crusaders.
Rainbow Dash had just called all of the Humane 6 to the steps.
Rarity, Sunset Shimmer, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie ran to them as fast as they could.
"I got your text, Rainbow Dash!" Sunset Shimmer said. "Did something come through the portal? Is Equestrian magic on the loose? Did Twilight or Gohan come back with a problem only WE can solve!?" She asked.
Pinkie Pie appeared with cupcakes. "OR A GIANT CAKE MONSTER THAT COVERS THE WORLD IN CAKE!?" She yelled, eating the cupcakes.
"Um... Not exactly." Rainbow Dash said, taking her guitar out of her case.
"Uh... I don't understand." Sunset Shimmer said.
"Well, Sunset, I was just telling Rainbow Dash here that a broken guitar string doesn't really qualify as an emergency." Applejack said.
"It totally does!" Rainbow Dash retorted.
"Really, Rainbow Dash, I was in the middle of sewing a very complex appliqué on my latest frock!" Rarity said, wearing glasses and measuring tape.
"And I was just about to tuck everyone in for the night at the animal shelter." Fluttershy said, petting the bunny Angel. "Now I'll have to start stories all over again." She said.
"Why would you send all of us an emergency text for a guitar string?" Sunset Shimmer asked.
"Well, I was going to pony up and show our fans some awesome guitar links... But I kind of need all six strings to do it. Got any extra?" Rainbow Dash asked.
Everyone groaned.
Sunset Shimmer pulled a guitar string out of her bag.
"Here. But everyone finished practicing for the day, I'm pretty sure all the music rooms are locked." She said.
"No problem! The acoustics in the hallway are perfect for power cords!" Rainbow Dash said, playing the guitar with a new string.
Then someone emerged from the portal.
"Hey! It's Gohan!" Rainbow Dash said.
Everyone turned to Gohan.
"Hey! Goten, get out of limbo!" Gohan whispered.
"I like limbo!" Goten whined.
Gohan sighed as he reached in and pulled out Goten.
"Hey Gohan. Who's your friend?" Sunset Shimmer asked.
"He's my brother, Goten." Gohan said.
Everyone looked in shock.
"Uh... Did I just hear Gohan right?" Applejack asked.
"You have a brother!?" Everyone asked.
Goten hid behind Gohan.
Gohan chuckled. "Yeah, I do. He's cool!" He said. "Come on, Goten. It's the same people we know over there." He added.
Goten finally stopped cowering and took a peek. "Hi." He said.
"Oh, he's adorable!" Rarity said.
"Wow! I never expected you of all people to have a brother, Gohan." Rainbow Dash said.
"Well, I knew he was born, but he came suddenly so much older than I anticipated." Gohan said.
"Anyway, I was about to give our fans a show. You in?" Rainbow Dash asked.
Goten nodded.
"Then come on!" Rainbow Dash said, opening the doors to the school.
"Wait, Gohan." Sunset Shimmer said.
Everyone but Gohan and Sunset Shimmer entered.
"You two coming?" Applejack asked.
"We'll come in a second." Sunset Shimmer said.
The door closed.
"S-So, how's life?" Sunset Shimmer asked.
"Oh, the same. Random stuff keeps happening. There's a monster who happened to kill my family on Earth, but, you know." Gohan said.
"That sounds horrible!" Sunset Shimmer said.
"It's why he's here." Gohan said.
"Um..." Sunset Shimmer said.
Gohan looked at Sunset Shimmer quizzically. "Is something wrong?" He asked.
"No!" Sunset Shimmer shouted nervously.
It was a random outburst.
"Oh... Well, uh... How are you?" Gohan asked.
"I-I'm good..." Sunset Shimmer said.
She was acting really nervous.
"Is... Is there any specific reason why you wanted to talk to me?" Gohan asked.
Sunset Shimmer nodded and blushed.
"Er... Okay... Is it some kind of-" Gohan said before he felt a presence approach the school.
He turned around to see a hooded person pulling out some weird contraption.
"So... Any idea who that is?" Gohan asked, pointing at the person in question.
"Uh... No." Sunset Shimmer said.
The person pointed the weird device at the portal, and touched it.
"Hey!" Gohan said.
The person immediately ran away.
"Hey! Come back!" Sunset Shimmer yelled, about to run after the person.
"No, let whoever that is go. Feels familiar, though." Gohan said.
The person ran into a bus.
"How so?" Sunset Shimmer asked.
"It just felt like someone I know." Gohan said.
On the bus, this person removed their hood.
It was the Twilight Sparkle of this world.
She wore glasses and had her hair in a bun.
She sighed.
The bus dropped her off at Crystal Prep Academy.
Twilight entered the school and her lab.
She had been conducting research on CHS because of the random magical occurrences.
"I'm just going to go inside if that's okay." Gohan said.
"Um... Okay. I'll be in in a second." Sunset Shimmer said.
Gohan went inside the school while Sunset Shimmer sat on the steps again.
She sighed and wrote a letter to Twilight.
"Dear Princess Twilight,
How's life treating you in Equestria? Any cool new magic spells? Monsters Gohan beat? When did Gohan's brother visit? We were pretty surprised to see someone like him have a little brother. You haven't told him my secret, have you? I just tried telling him and I got too nervous. It's been pretty quiet here at CHS since the Battle of the Bands. We still pony up when we play music, which Rainbow Dash LOVES to show off. But I still can't quite grasp what it's all about. I would love to hear about you think about it.
Your friend,
Sunset Shimmer"
***
It was another day at CHS.
The Humane 6 and the brothers were in the library discussing whoever that person was.
"She was definitely doing something to the statue." Sunset Shimmer said.
"Yeah. Touching it." Gohan said.
"Did she come from Equestria?" Fluttershy asked.
"No. It feels like that person is from here, but also feels like someone from Equestria. I just don't know who." Gohan said.
"Well, that's a relief. It's good not to have some magical being bent on world domination coming over from Equestria." Applejack said with a wink.
Sunset Shimmer smirked.
"Does that happen a lot?" Goten asked.
"You have no idea, Goten." Rainbow Dash said.
"I have no interests in another fight against powerful evil magic. The wear and tear on my wardrobe is just too much for me." Rarity said.
"Still, a mysterious figure lurking around the portal? Don't you want to know what she was up to?" Sunset Shimmer asked.
"Oh, I don't even want to guess." Fluttershy said.
"Well you don't have to! Because I figured out who it was!" Rainbow Dash said, pulling out a book.
"OOH! OOH! A nighttime statue cleaner? Magical portal maintenance maintainer? Gardener!?" Pinkie Pie asked, pulling out books for all of that.
"Seeing as they got off a bus FROM the city and got on a bus TO the city, I'll bet they go to..." Rainbow Dash said.
"Crystal Prep." Everyone but Sunset Shimmer, Gohan and Goten said.
"Yep. With the Friendship Games starting tomorrow, they'd totally try to prank us by defacing the Wondercolts statue!" Rainbow Dash said.
"That's not very nice of them." Goten said.
"That's right." Fluttershy said, petting Goten, making him smile.
"Why would anyone take a bus all the way from the city for that?" Sunset Shimmer asked.
"Because the Crystal Prep Shadowbolts are our biggest rivals?" Applejack asked.
"Because that's what the students at Crystal Prep would do?" Rarity asked.
"Because even though they beat us in everything, soccer, tennis, golf, they STILL have to gloat!" Rainbow Dash said, flipping to a page where they made the Wondercolts statue look like a clown.
"Sounds really silly to me." Sunset Shimmer said.
"SILLY!?" The rest of the Humane 6 asked.
"So, I guess you think the Friendship Games are silly too." Rainbow Dash said.
"She didn't mean that. The school might have some mean people, but the rivalry is just silly." Gohan said.
"We'll be fighting against a school full of meanies." Fluttershy said.
"Then Gohan's gonna kick their butts! Full throttle!" Goten said, uppercutting the air.
He landed on the top of a bookshelf.
Cheerilee noticed. "How did you get up there?" She asked with a forced smile.
Gohan flew up and grabbed him. "Please excuse us." He said, floating down and putting him on the ground again.
Cheerilee was confused.
Then he chuckled. "Definitely not full throttle, but easygoing." He said.
"No, Gohan, you HAVE to go full throttle! This is our big chance to show that the Wondercolts are better than the Shadowbolts!" Rainbow Dash said.
"Eh... Fine, I guess." Gohan said.
"I just don't understand why there's this big rivalry. Aren't the Friendship Games about the two schools getting along?" Sunset Shimmer asked.
"Well, its kind of hard to get along when someone beats you at everything." Applejack said.
"Not anymore! This time, things are gonna be different!" Rainbow Dash said.
"Sounds reasonable enough." Gohan said.
***
The gym was full of students sitting on chairs and the bleachers.
The principals both took the stage.
"As I'm sure you all know, tomorrow Canterlot High School will be hosting our fellow students from Crystal Prep Academy as we join together in the spirit of excellence, sportsmanship, and fidelity as we compete in the Friendship Games!" Celestia said.
The students were pretty disinterested and clapped slowly.
"Since the games happen every four years, I'm sure you're all curious what goes on!" Celestia said.
"You mean other than us losing!?" Flash Sentry called from the audience.
Celestia and Luna had unamused faces.
"And that is why I have Rainbow Dash to give you all a little, erm, context." Celestia said.
Rainbow Dash walked up and snatched the damn microphone.
"Thank you Principal Celestia. Ahem, I know a lot of you might think there's NO way we can beat a 'fancy' school like Crystal Prep at anything." Rainbow Dash said.
"UNLESS IT'S A LOSING COMPETITION AGAINST CRYSTAL PREP BECAUSE WE'RE REALLY GOOD AT THAT!" Pinkie Pie shouted.
"Ugh. And I know that CHS has never won the Friendship Games, but that changes this time! Crystal Prep students are super athletic, super smart, and super motivated! Not only do we have a CHS member who has all of that times a billion or two, there's one thing they aren't. They aren't Wondercolts!" Rainbow Dash called.
Then they sang a song called the CHS Rally song with the CHS marching band and everyone got motivated.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Jqd88q-7wI0
***
Rainbow Dash gave a thumbs up to the marching band before going backstage where her friends were waiting.
"Rainbow Dash. That was amazing!" Fluttershy said with glee. "Even I feel like we can win!" She said.
"Why didn't you feel that way in the library?" Rainbow Dash asked. "We have him to ace it all." She said.
Gohan scratched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly.
"Uh, yes. I feel like my school pride is at an all time high!" Rarity said giddily.
"Is anyone else wondering why Dash ponied up without playing her guitar?" Applejack asked.
"She did it while training, I don't see why it's surprising." Gohan said.
"It's probably because I'm so awesome!" Rainbow Dash said.
"Maybe. I mean, you are awesome, but there's got to be more to it than that, right?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "It just seems so random." She added.
"Then it would be nice if you girls and boys had a handle on it." Luna said from behind.
"We want to keep magic as far away as possible from the Friendship Games. We don't want to be accused of cheating." Luna said.
"So does that mean I can't use my super strength? Because that's something I really no longer have a handle on." Gohan said.
"Just how strong are you...?" Luna asked.
"Oh, he's really strong!" Goten said.
"Yeah... I'm currently wearing 4300 kilograms of clothing right now." Gohan said.
"Well, that's certainly impressive. It's one of the reasons why I picked you, I suppose. But I do want you to restrain it as much as possible." Luna said.
"I'll suppress myself as much as possible, Principal Luna." Gohan said.
"We don't need magic or Gohan to win the games!" Rarity said.
Everyone agreed.
"Still, the Friendship Games are serious business. We don't want any surprises. Especially the ones that cause us to forfeit. Sunset Shimmer, Gohan, you two come from a world full of magic. Perhaps you can do something about our magical development." Luna said.
"We'll do our best." Sunset Shimmer said.
"May I have a rule book for the Friendship Games?" Gohan asked.
"No. You will receive the rules at the Games." Luna said and walked away.
"Okay, anyone have any guesses about what the events are gonna be?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"Pie eating? Cake eating? PIECAKE EATING!?" Pinkie Pie asked, combining the two.
"Now I know I'd win at that." Gohan said.
"They won't even let us see what they're doing to the field! They can at least tell the competitors what they're competing in." Applejack said.
"It could be anything." Fluttershy said.
"ANYTHING!? How will I ever pick the right outfit?" Rarity asked.
"Oh I hope it's the pie and/or cake eating contest." Gohan said.
"I really want to help. I guess I should try to figure out why Rainbow Dash suddenly ponied up. See you later!" Sunset Shimmer said, leaving.
"Seems like she has everything under control! Nothing to worry about!" Pinkie Pie said.
"Maybe I should help too. Do you want to come, Goten?" Gohan asked.
"Perhaps he could stay with us. He isn't wearing heavy clothing." Rarity said, picking Goten up.
"I'll stay with them." Goten said.
"Alright. I'll be back." Gohan said, walking after Sunset Shimmer.
***
Sunset Shimmer was in the library. She tried doing mathematics and science but it couldn't explain magic.
"You doing okay?" Gohan asked.
"Oh! Uh... Hey!" Sunset Shimmer said a little nervously.
"I'm a little concerned. You're a bit... Jumpy." Gohan said.
"W-What? No, I'm fine. Do you think Twilight would answer right now?" Sunset Shimmer asked.
"She wasn't home when I left." Gohan said.
"I'll try anyway." Sunset Shimmer said.
She wrote in the book, sending a message to Twilight.
"She ponies up when she really got into doing it. I guess you all do. When it comes to music, it's fairly easy." Gohan said.
"It's all so weird. What happens while we play that causes us to pony up?" Sunset Shimmer asked.
***
Crystal Prep Academy
Twilight roamed the halls of the very uptight school.
She was having a tough time not bumping into people.
She kept apologizing even when it was her own fault.
She was back in her lab conducting whatever.
Twilight has a device to sense magic.
It would guarantee her into whatever college she wants to go to. Specifically Everton.
Cadence voiced her concern for Twilight being really antisocial.
But she never said it flat out.
Twilight had no clue what she was talking about.
She's better off alone!
...Right?
Twilight was staffed with planning for the Friendship Games so that CPA would win even though she doesn't want to.
Because CHS cannot have a reputation.
According to the damn principal.
And she gave her the job through blackmail.
She and her pet dog Spike were headed to CHS for the Friendship Games.
***
While the Rainbooms practiced music, Gohan and Goten were in the empty gym training.
Well, it had banners and stuff, but they had some time to go loose.
Goten was a Super Saiyan while Gohan was not.
Goten threw many punches at Gohan, which he dodged and blocked.
Gohan avoided a sweep kick by jumping high into the air.
Goten jumped up and grabbed his foot.
"What- Hey!" Gohan said.
"Gotcha!" Goten said, throwing Gohan back to the ground.
Gohan stopped himself before he put a crater into the ground.
Goten came falling down with a dropkick.
Gohan grabbed his feet.
"Let's tone it down a little. This isn't a place to go crazy on." Gohan said.
"Oh come on!" Goten said.
"Fine then!" Gohan said, powering up enough to push Goten away.
Then Luna came into the gymnasium.
"Son Gohan, are you sure you are able to restrain yourself for the games?" Luna asked.
"As long as I don't get incredibly enraged." Gohan said.
"And wasn't his hair different last time?" Luna asked, pointing at Goten.
"Yeah! I'm a Super Saiyan!" Goten said.
"Well... That's wonderful! Have fun." Luna said, walking away.
"I think training should be over for now, Goten. I'll teach you and the others how to use ki and fly next." Gohan said.
"Yay!" Goten said.
***
CPA just made it to CHS.
Twilight, detecting magic, walked into the school.
Surprisingly, everyone knew her.
She even bumped into Flash Sentry.
But she ran to where she could locate magic.
***
Rarity had spent all this time dressing up her friends.
"Uh, Rarity, why would you put so much effort and time into clothes we might not even wear?" Applejack asked, wearing a baseball player's uniform.
"You're going to exhaust yourself before the games even start!" She added.
"Oh nonsense! Putting effort into clothes is simply what I live for! And spending time with my friends is what simply fills me with energy!" Rarity said, suddenly ponying up.
Then Gohan and Goten entered the room.
"Hey." Gohan said.
"Hey." Everyone said back.
"When did Rarity get longer hair and big ears?" Goten asked.
Twilight was outside the music room.
She opened her magical pendant and somehow absorbed all of Rarity's magic.
And Gohan had that feeling.
He sensed someone similar was around.
"Actually, Applejack, now that I think about it, maybe I could use a tiny break." Rarity said, losing her pony parts and collapsing.
"I told you." Applejack said.
Twilight entered the music room.
"Twilight!?" Everyone but Gohan and Goten said.
"Uh... Yes?" Twilight asked.
"Well I'll be! You should've told us you were coming!" Applejack said, wrapping an arm around Twilight.
Sunset Shimmer smiled.
"Darling, your fashion is... What are you wearing? It's so severe." Rarity said.
"My uniform?" Twilight asked.
"Your uniform's for what?" Fluttershy asked, wearing a hockey player's uniform.
"For Crystal Prep. But why does this school know who I am?" Twilight asked.
Gohan knew now. "She's this world's Twilight, isn't she..." He muttered.
"Did you just say Crystal Prep?" Rainbow Dash asked, wearing a British police officer's uniform.
Then Spike, her dog came barking out of the bag.
"Spike!" The Humane 6 said.
"You know my dog's name too?" Twilight asked.
Everyone was confused as hell.
Except for Gohan.
Outside, Celestia was giving Crystal Prep's principal, Cinch a tour of the school.
"And our musical program as especially taken off!" Celestia said.
But then she noticed Twilight.
"Twilight?" Celestia asked.
"This is getting ridiculous!" Twilight said.
"I must apologize for the curiosity of my prized student." Cinch said.
"Your student?" Celestia asked.
"The smart ones are always curious. I'll return her to check in with the rest of her classmates." Cinch said, escorting Twilight away.
"I didn't know Twilight has a twin sister." Celestia said.
"This isn't the Twilight we know." Gohan said.
"How do you know?" Celestia asked.
"The Twilight we know is from Equestria. This Twilight is from this world. And she has a very familiar ki signature to Equestria's Twilight..." Gohan said.
"Ki...? Nevermind." Celestia said, walking away.
***
The eight were walking the halls.
"I can't believe this world's Twilight goes to Crystal Prep!" Rarity said.
"Twilight's gonna play against us? She'd never do that." Rainbow Dash said.
"Our Twilight wouldn't." Fluttershy said.
"Our Twilight is a princess in Equestria and an expert in friendship magic! If she really was here, we'd all know why the magical stuff we do happens!" Sunset Shimmer said a little loudly and angrily.
Everyone looked at her and she sighed.
"Sorry, I'm just frustrated that Twilight hasn't written back to me yet." Sunset Shimmer said.
"Magic is confusing." Goten said.
"It sure is." Gohan said.
"Another time where I don't feel useful again." Sunset Shimmer said.
"What do you mean?" Rarity asked.
"I'm the one who brought magic into this world, but I can't even explain it. I rarely help at all." Sunset Shimmer said.
"Oh don't say that. You were the one who told us about the Sirens and what they were doing!" Applejack said.
"Yeah, but that's about it. Twilight was the one who figured out what we needed to defeat them." Sunset Shimmer said.
"And guess what else we needed to defeat them." Gohan said.
"You." Rarity said.
"Don't feel bad! You've done good stuff!" Goten said.
Sunset Shimmer smiled. "I guess. Thanks." She said.
Everyone cheered.
"Okay guys, let's see the info about the events and come up with a strategy!" Rainbow Dash said.
Everyone began to walk away.
Sunset Shimmer stood still for some reason.
"You coming, Sunset?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"I'll catch up with you guys in a bit." Sunset Shimmer said.
She walked outside the school towards the portal.
Twilight sensed magic coming from the portal and began absorbing it.
Sunset Shimmer tried entering the portal, but her hand got stuck to the wall.
The two actions created an equal but opposite reaction, pushing the two away from the portal.
They landed sitting.
Twilight had gained more magic.
"What did you do!?" Sunset Shimmer asked.
"Twilight, you have to go with the others." Cadence said.
Twilight ran after the others.
Sunset Shimmer tried going after her, but she disappeared.
She tried going into the portal...
And it was closed!
"Where's the portal!?" Sunset Shimmer asked, trying in vain to go through.
Gohan came out the doors.
"Sunset Shimmer!" He said.
"The portal's closed!" Sunset Shimmer said.
"What!?" Gohan asked.
Gohan tried entering, but he failed too!
"I'm not going to be stuck here forever, am I!? Who stole the magic from this portal!?" Gohan asked.
"Someone stole it?" Sunset Shimmer asked.
"I'm really starting to think that someone is absorbing magic. I came out because I felt the sudden change." Gohan said.
"Then we have to get it back!" Sunset Shimmer said. "I think it's Twilight!" She said.
"Maybe. I sensed a good amount of magic from her pendant, but it suddenly disappeared." Gohan said.
***
In the gym, there was a 'party' going on.
There was a banner that said: "Welcome Crystal Prep"
And the schools were not chatting.
They each stayed on their side of the gym.
And in the halls, the Humane 6 and the brothers walked.
Pinkie Pie was carrying Goten and flying him around like an airplane.
"What do you mean the portal's closed?" Applejack asked.
"Someone took the magic from the portal. I believe it is this world's Twilight." Gohan said.
The eight entered the gym.
"What makes you say that?" Applejack asked.
"Actually, leave this to me." Sunset Shimmer said, walking up to Twilight.
Twilight was walking around trying to locate magic.
"Twilight, what are you doing?" Sunset Shimmer asked.
"M-Me? Oh, I was jus-" "Who wants to know!?" Indigo Zap interrupted, pointing a finger at Sunset Shimmer.
The Rainbow Dash joined in.
"Uh, we do." She said, starting a rivalry against Indigo Zap.
"Calm down, Rainbow." Gohan said.
"Yeah, let's not get too competitive before the games start." Applejack said, wrapping her arms around both people.
"The Games have never been a competition since WE'VE never lost." Sugarcoat said.
"That's not a very nice thing to say." Fluttershy said.
"Sorry, dearie, these games aren't about being nice." Sunny Flare said.
"Well, it might use a LITTLE tact." Rarity said.
Twilight began backing away.
Until she bumped into Pinkie Pie, who was carrying Goten.
"Hi! I'm Pinkie Pie!" She said, holding Goten with one hand and reaching out with the other.
"Oh, hi! I'm Twilight." Twilight said, grabbing Pinkie Pie's hand.
She shook it with full force, man!
It undid Twilight's bun.
"I know! You look just like my friend! Who's name is Twilight too!" Pinkie Pie said.
Twilight began to fix her hair.
"Well, that's... Weird..." Twilight said.
"What's that?" Pinkie Pie asked, referring to Twilight's magical pendant.
"It's sort of a spectrometer. I built it to-" "Did I hear scientific talk!?" Gohan asked.
Twilight turned to Gohan. "You know what a spectrometer is?" She asked.
"Of course! It's a device that separates particles, molecules and atoms by their mass or energy!" Gohan said.
Pinkie Pie was bored as hell hearing that. She walked away.
"Wow! I didn't expect someone like you to know this stuff." Twilight said.
"I've developed a kind of spectrometer with my life energy!" Gohan said.
"H-How does that work? Isn't that scientifically impossible unless you used a machine?" Twilight asked.
"It's simple. Using your life energy, or ki to find others' ki can be done by simply scanning locations with your own! Basically you stretch out your ki as far as you can. With enough practice, you can sense beings galaxies away!" Gohan said.
"That's very interesting!" Twilight said, giggling. "I like you!" She said.
"Being a nerd is awesome, right!?" Gohan asked.
"Yeah!" Twilight said.
The two did a weak high five.
"Though... You seem to have accumulated muscle mass." Twilight said.
"That's because I also train. It's why I have the spectrometer right here!" Gohan said, pointing at his head.
"Hello everyone!" Celestia said through the mic.
"I would like to take this opportunity to greet everyone from Crystal Prep Academy and welcome them to CHS." Celestia said.
Pinkie Pie pushed a heavy box with the party cannon she received from Gohan into the gym.
"And lastly, I would like to recognize the thirteen students CHS has elected to compete." Celestia said.
They all waved.
The roster for CHS was: The Humane 6, Gohan, Flash Sentry, Lyra Heartstrings, Bon Bon, Micro Chips, Sandalwood and Derpy Hooves/Ditzy Doo.
Pinkie Pie pulled a second party cannon in.
"I don't think we could've chosen a better group to represent the excellence, sportsmanship and friendship the Games stand for!" Celestia said.
Pinkie Pie replaced all food with tons of cupcakes and turned the gym into a REAL party.
She had Vinyl Scratch play a specific CD.
The students from different schools actually began to mingle and eat together.
Pinkie Pie blasted her party cannons.
Everyone was having fun!
Dancing and whatnot!
Pinkie Pie gained her pony parts!
Twilight's pendant glowed, and it absorbed all of her magic.
Pinkie Pie was really drained.
"I am party pooped." She said.
Twilight closed her pendant, full of more magic.
Gohan rushed to Pinkie Pie, catching her before she fell and gave her a senzu bean.
"Thanks Gohan!" Pinkie Pie said before zipping away.
"I wonder what happened." Gohan said.
Twilight was scared.
Then, Principal Cinch, tapped on the mic, making it give feedback.
The party was halted.
"I would like to thank Principal Celestia for her unconventional welcome. It's been four years since the last Friendship Games, but it feels as though nothing has changed. Canterlot High continues to pick it's competitors in a popularity contest, and Crystal Prep continues to pick it's top twelve students." Cinch said.
The CPA students started to separate from the CHS students.
"It is a comfort to know that even after so many years of losses, you're school is committed to its ideals, however misguided they might be. I wish you all the best of luck, regardless of the inevitable outcome." Cinch said.
Pinkie Pie went to the Humane 6.
"I'm sorry Pinkie. I thought your party additions were pretty swell!" Applejack said.
"It definitely broke the ice." Fluttershy said.
"Yes, but that Principal Cinch had frozen it again." Rarity said.
Gohan came carrying Goten. "And I was having a nice nerdy conversation with Twilight discussing spectrometers." He said.
"Spectro-what?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"Nothing." Gohan said before chuckling.
"Also, the loss of magic is looking pretty suspicious." Gohan said.
"In what regards?" Sunset Shimmer asked.
"Pinkie, what happened after you ponied up?" Gohan asked.
"I suddenly felt the magic drain out of me." Pinkie Pie said.
"Really? Where's this world's Twilight?" Applejack asked.
"I dunno." Pinkie Pie said.
***
The Friendship Games has begun!
The two competing teams were in front of the school's entrance and exit inside the school.
"Welcome to the first event! The academic decathlon! You'll be scored on chemistry, home-ec, and everything in between. But remember, only the six students from each team with the most points will move on to event number two! Good luck!" Cadence said.
The test began!
...And Gohan was way ahead of everyone else.
He did all the experiments with speed and precision.
He was first to finish.
Then he, Fluttershy and Pinkie made a fucking Mona Lisa cake.
Next, everyone was making a birdhouse.
The Shadowbolts won this one, making a double birdhouse with flames.
Gohan only made the sturdiest yet the most basic birdhouse.
...After destroying about three.
In the spelling bee, Gohan and Twilight remained to be the last ones standing.
He spelled carcinogen.
Seriously, I know this is off topic but I find it stupid that almost every or every student got some of the simplest words wrong.
And now he and Twilight were doing advanced math equations with triangles and Pythagorean theorem and quadratic equations and algebra.
And Gohan won in that regard, being much faster than anyone else.
X = 30
He did it in less than a minute!
"Correct!" Cinch said.
Everyone was very surprised.
Especially Twilight. 'Since when was he a super nerd like me times ten?' She thought.
"The winner of the first event of the Friendship Games is Son Gohan of Canterlot High!" Luna declared.
Everyone from CHS cheered while also being really surprised.
A superhero a nerd!? Get outta here!
CPA booed.
"That was awesome!" Rainbow Dash said, hugging Gohan.
"Thanks. I study often." Gohan said.
"Yeah! You did awesome, Gohan!" Goten said.
"Thanks!" Gohan said.
"After a careful tally of the combined points, we would like to announce the students moving on to the Friendship Games' second event!" Cadence said.
The students walked onstage.
Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Sunset Shimmer, Rarity, Pinkie Pie and Gohan were moving on.
CPA wasn't cheering or anything, but CHS was.
Twilight went offstage with her team in shame.
"Twilight." Cinch said, looking at Twilight with a death stare.
Twilight cowered in fear as she walked away.
***
Fluttershy was feeding her little critters outside.
Twilight followed her because of the magic she could see.
And Fluttershy caught her. "Would you like to feed the little critters?" She asked.
Twilight hesitated at first, but smiled and went to Fluttershy.
"Guess I'm not the only one to smuggle her pet into school." Twilight said.
"Not just one." Fluttershy said, showing off the more animals.
"Wow." Twilight said. "All I have is Spike." She said, letting Spike out.
Fluttershy picked Spike up. "Does he talk?" She asked.
"Uh... Not that I know of." Twilight said.
"Oh, nice job on making it so far in the first event. Gohan really didn't suppress himself like he said he would." Fluttershy said.
"Thanks, and- Suppress?" Twilight asked.
Fluttershy nodded. "He's the most powerful, fastest, and smartest boy at CHS. I can't see anyone beating him in academics- Even worse, sports." She said.
"That's... Very interesting." Twilight said.
"Also, it seemed like your team wasn't really happy about advancing." Fluttershy said.
"No one at my school gets excited about anything they didn't do themselves." Twilight said, frowning.
"That sounds awful." Fluttershy said.
Then, she picked up her bunny.
"Here, hold this." She said, handing him to Twilight.
Twilight did it hesitantly at first. "Um... Why?" She asked.
"Holding a bunny always makes me feel better." Fluttershy said.
"Well, that's ridiculous, but-" Twilight said before Angel rubbed his head on Twilight.
Twilight was glad it happened. "It actually kind of works." She said, stroking the bunny.
Then she had a weird realization.
"I'm on the other team and you just won. Why are you being so nice to me?" She asked.
"You looked like you needed it." Fluttershy said.
Suddenly, she ponied up!
Twilight looked in awe.
"Wow!" She said.
The pendant floated towards Fluttershy.
It opened, starting to steal Fluttershy's magic.
It got out of control, and shot magic portals.
From them, a weird animal hybrid from Chernobyl emerged.
Spike chased after it, leaping from portal to portal until getting caught in between Fluttershy's magic.
"Spike!" Twilight exclaimed, closing her pendant.
Fluttershy groaned as she gave Spike to Twilight.
Her power was very diminished.
***
As the seven were walking the halls, Gohan felt Fluttershy's power level go to 1.
"Sorry guys, I'll be back in a moment." Gohan said, using Instant Transmission.
"How do you get used to that?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"He usually flies me everywhere. He said he'd teach me how to fly with his students." Goten said.
"Well, you'll learn with us!" Rarity said.
"Cool!" Goten said.
***
"Spike! Are you okay?" Twilight asked.
"Uh... I think so." Spike said.
Twilight hugged Spike, then the two screamed.
Twilight ran away in fear.
"Twilight! Wait!" Spike yelled, chasing after her.
Fluttershy collapsed onto the ground.
"B-Bye... H-Help..." She said.
Gohan appeared. "Fluttershy!" He said.
He quickly turned Fluttershy over and gave her a senzu bean.
'If this keeps happening then I'll run out.' He thought.
Fluttershy opened her eyes to see Gohan.
"Hey. Are you okay?" He asked.
Fluttershy blushed randomly and didn't respond. She only stared.
Gohan was a little confused. "Helloooo?" He asked, waving a hand in front of Fluttershy's face.
"Oh! Sorry. Thank you, Gohan." Fluttershy said, sitting up.
"What happened?" Gohan asked.
"I... I can't remember...." Fluttershy said.
"Hold on." Gohan said, placing a hand on Fluttershy's head.
He tried reading her mind... But found nothing.
It truly was gone.
"Well, you really don't remember." Gohan said.
***
Twilight was inside the school.
She finally came to terms about Spike SOMEHOW being able to talk.
"Twilight." Cinch said.
Twilight instantly stuffed Spike into an empty locker.
"Who are you talking to?" She asked.
"U-Uh, myself! It's a nervous habit. Were you looking for me?" Twilight asked.
"Indeed I was. I hope you know I am very disappointed in you. You lost to a boy practicing martial arts! His fashion sense is incredibly uncouth, his hair is sporadic and he seems like a brute." Cinch said.
Twilight hung her head low in shame. "However, if you are to win the next parts I will reward you mightily. Now, it is a coincidence that the CHS students moving on to the next event are the same 'nice' girls and that brute who were so interested in you, don't you think?" She asked.
"I'm not sure." Twilight said.
"Perhaps you should get to know them after all." Cinch said.
"But I thought you didn't want me to." Twilight said.
"Let's just say I'm covering my bases. Who knows? Perhaps they will reveal to you the secret to Canterlot High's newfound success." Cinch said, grabbing Twilight's shoulders.
"I don't know... Spying feels kind of wrong..." Twilight said.
"Well, it is your decision. It's not as if your application hangs in the balance. On second thought, yes it does." Cinch said, walking away.
"Wait! I do know the boy I lost to is the best player they have. He happens to be the strongest, fastest and smartest student here." Twilight said.
Cinch smiled. "Thank you. Please continue to find more secrets." She said, walking away.
***
The Humane 6 and the brothers were roaming the halls.
"You seriously don't remember?" Sunset Shimmer asked.
"No. I remember that I ponied up, but everything after and a little before that is a blur." Fluttershy said.
"This keeps happening because of someone." Gohan said.
"Can you figure it out Gohan?" Goten asked.
"I'll try." Gohan said.
"I don't get it. Rarity's magic was out while making dresses, Pinkie's with the party and now Fluttershy." Sunset Shimmer said.
"I remember that I couldn't stand up after that. In fact, I think I almost fainted." Fluttershy said.
"Me too! At the party!" Pinkie Pie said.
"And me too before meeting Twilight!" Rarity said.
"So she's stealing magic..." Sunset Shimmer said.
"I don't know, it doesn't seem like the magic stealing's tied." Applejack said.
"If her pendant can steal magic, maybe it stole the portal too!" Sunset Shimmer said.
"How?" Fluttershy asked.
"She did say that her pendant was a spectrometer. It probably measured the frequencies in the magic from us and the portal and took it." Gohan said.
"Wait, really?" Sunset Shimmer asked.
"It's my theory, anyways." Gohan said.
"Well, for now, let's just focus on beating the Shadowbolts. With Gohan here, it should be a cinch." Rainbow Dash said.
"And as long as this event puts me on a playing field, we don't have anything to worry about!" Rainbow Dash bragged.
***
The second event was beginning.
A motorcross event.
There was a huge course for it outside. Even a scoreboard.
No wonder they kept it a secret from the students.
Cinch was instructing her students.
"You will race in pairs. Indigo Zap and Sugarcoat will handle the motocross." Cinch said.
"Yes!" Indigo Zap said.
"Lemon Zest and Sunny Flare have requested the short track." Cinch said.
The two high fived each other.
"Since archery is a standard requirement at our school, any of you should be able to do it. Twilight and Sour Sweet will start us off." Cinch said.
"Well, that's just marvelous! If you wanna lose before we even start!" Sour Sweet said.
"Given that Twilight lost the last event in second place, I am very sure that she will be able to pull her weight here." Cinch said. "Won't you." She said.
Twilight nodded nervously.
***
The four with a front row seat were Celestia, Luna, Cadence and Cinch.
"Welcome everyone, to the Friendship Games tricross relay!" Cadence announced.
Everyone cheered in the bleachers.
"In this event, our qualifying competitors will face off in archery, speed skating, and finally, motorcross." Cadence said.
Gohan and Applejack were handling archery, while Rarity and Pinkie Pie did speed skating and Rainbow Dash and Sunset Shimmer were doing motorcross.
And yes, Rarity made suits for all of them except Gohan because he refused.
"GO GOHAN!" Goten yelled from the bleachers.
"So, if the competitors are ready..." Cadence said before blowing an air horn.
The archers began.
Gohan went first, darting at a good speed.
He was up against Sour Sweet.
He jumped over each hay with speed.
He was way ahead of her.
Halfway through the jumping, he began to do flips and jump with with hands too.
Everyone looked in shock and excitement.
When it came to the rope jump, Gohan simply leaped over the hole. He even did a flip.
Cinch and Cadence were very surprised.
Sour Sweet wasn't even done with the hay yet!
Gohan grabbed his arrows and bow.
He instantly shot his arrows while singing: "Chickity China the Chinese chicken!"
He got all four moving targets on the bullseye.
Although he wasn't supposed to do that, he was allowed to proceed.
"This is most impressive! Son Gohan shall suffer no penalty, but receive praise!" Cadence said.
Everyone cheered.
Goten was doing the most.
And everyone was surprised!
Like, EXTREMELY surprised.
Especially Cinch.
She did not like Gohan one single bit.
Sour Sweet managed to make it to the rope finally.
Applejack darted towards her bow and arrow.
Sour Sweet finally managed to get to her bow and arrow.
She shot three arrows in one shot, getting a bullseye.
Twilight started! And instantly tripped over the hay.
Applejack was done with the hay jumping.
Sour Sweet shot all three arrows at once, securing a target.
Applejack made it to her bow and arrow.
She managed to get one but not a bullseye.
Twilight made it to the rope.
Sour Sweet was enraged.
Applejack tried again, and then after a deep breath, she got a bullseye!
Canterlot scored one point on the scoreboard.
The speed skaters for CHS darted towards the finish line.
"And Canterlot is off to an early lead!" Cadence said.
Twilight finally made it to the bow and arrows, but kept failing.
And CHS already had a lap, and now they had two.
"If CPA can't hit a bullseye soon, they'll be out of this race!" Cadence said.
Sour Sweet was getting angrier. "NOW THAT'S JUST FANTASTIC!" She yelled at Twilight.
Twilight was hurt emotionally.
"I'm definitely glad I don't go to school at Crystal Prep." Gohan said.
"Agreed." Applejack said.
Twilight failed again.
Sour Sweet began verbally abusing Twilight.
Twilight actually had tears in her eyes.
"You're really bad at this!" Sugarcoat yelled.
"Hey! She's trying her best, maybe you should be quiet!" Gohan yelled.
"Ugh, I can't take this anymore!" Applejack said, handing her bow to Gohan.
She went up to Twilight.
"You have to stop aiming at the target." Applejack said.
"Oh that makes perfect sense! Don't aim at the target! Thanks so much!" Sour Sweet said sarcastically.
"You have to start aiming at where the target is. And aim it at where the target's gonna be." Applejack said.
"Yeah! Definitely take advice FROM THE PERSON YOU'RE COMPETING AGAINST!" Sour Sweet yelled.
Twilight began to cry again.
"Do you want to hit the bullseye or not?" Applejack asked.
Twilight wiped her tears and nodded.
"Then trust me. Take a deep breath." Applejack said.
Twilight did just that.
"And let the arrow go... Right... NOW!" Applejack said.
Twilight released the arrow.
It was a bullseye!
Sour Sweet backed away in embarrassment.
The crowd cheered, and Cinch was pleased.
Twilight hugged Applejack.
"See? I was telling you the truth." Applejack said.
Then she suddenly ponied up!
Twilight's pendant began to absorb it!
"Ugh! What- Are- You- Doing!?" Applejack asked.
Gohan quickly jumped over to Applejack.
"I don't know!" Twilight said with tears.
Applejack lost her pony stuff and fell.
Gohan caught her and laid her down.
Twilight managed to close the pendant, but then backed up and tripped.
The pendant snapped, and the pendant was on the skating track.
It even let out a portal.
"Canterlot High has finished the speed skating event! But it seems Crystal Prep is making up lost time!" Cadence said.
The score was Wondercolts 8-6 Shadowbolts.
Crystal Prep students knocked Twilight's pendant away from the track.
"Here Applejack, eat up." Gohan said, feeding her a senzu bean.
Applejack managed to sit up. "What happened...?" She asked.
"She stole your magic." Gohan said.
"She did what?" Applejack asked.
The motorists began.
Then CPA's started.
Twilight tried to grab her pendant, but the portals made vines appear that kept grabbing her.
Suddenly, the vine snapped.
Twilight looked up to see no other than Gohan.
"Go!" He yelled, kicking a piranha away.
Rainbow Dash narrowly avoided an incoming monster.
The same could not be said for Sunset Shimmer and Sugarcoat, who both lost their bikes to the monster.
Well, Sunset Shimmer fell off her bike.
The principals and dean were shocked!
Indigo Zap used the monster to keep up with Rainbow Dash by using it as a ramp.
Gohan rushed to the track and started to beat down the monster, who ate Sugarcoat's bike.
Sugarcoat fell down.
Gohan fired ki blasts at the monster.
Rainbow Dash, seeing Sunset Shimmer fallen, noticed that one of the monster's piranha's was going to eat her.
So she turned around and grabbed Sunset Shimmer before she could be eaten by the monster.
"Dash! You saved me!" Sunset Shimmer said.
"I wasn't about to let my friend become plant food!" Rainbow Dash said, stopping.
She ponied up!
Cinch looked at Celestia who shrugged nervously.
Gohan flew around the monster, firing more ki blasts.
Goten even joined in, turning Super Saiyan and beating it down.
"Keep going Goten!" Gohan yelled.
More of the monster tried to attack Twilight, and Spike fended some of it off.
"We can still win this!" Rainbow Dash yelled, flying at the finish line.
Sunset Shimmer took her bike and the two raced towards the finish line.
Indigo Zap may have been in the lead, but the monster put a crater into the track in which she fell.
The monster was about to devour her before Goten kicked it away.
Even Rainbow Dash joined in, smashing herself into the monster so it wouldn't devour Sunset Shimmer again.
Indigo Zap managed to get out.
She and Sunset Shimmer was neck at neck.
And...
"Canterlot Wins!" Cadence said.
Everyone cheered, well, except for Crystal Prep. They booed.
"Attention Students. Please proceed to the gym." Cadence said.
Twilight finally did it and closed her pendant, which had created portals all over the place.
Now the monster disappeared.
The Humane 6 all rushed together.
"Are y'all alright!?" Applejack asked.
"Of course we're alright! We won!" Rainbow Dash said, flying in.
Sunset Shimmer took off her helmet.
"We won, but somebody could've been seriously hurt! The magic is going haywire and I don't know how to fix it!" Sunset Shimmer shouted.
"Um, excuse me." Twilight said.
"I didn't want this to happen. I just wanted to learn about the strange energy from your school! I didn't know it was magic or how it works." Twilight said.
Rainbow Dash walked up to Twilight. "That's okay, neither do we." She said.
The pendant began taking her magic!
"No! Nonono! Not again!" Twilight said.
Rainbow Dash strained as she began to lose her magic.
She lost her pony parts and collapsed.
"I'm sorry! It just started absorbing energy on it's own! But I'm not sure how!" Twilight shouted as she tried to close the pendant.
Gohan flew in, flipping Rainbow Dash over and giving her a senzu bean.
"Eat." He said.
'It's her.' He thought.
And he check his pouch to see only two senzu beans left.
He sighed.
"What do you mean you don't know how!?" Sunset Shimmer shouted as she tried to close it too.
He sighed again.
However, it only caused the portal to Equestria to appear.
Goten ran up and shut it himself.
It closed.
"You really need to train more." He said, reverting back to his base form.
"What?" Twilight asked.
"I don't know how this works!" She exclaimed.
"What DO you know!? Do you know how to get our magic back!? Or fix the portal to Equestria!?" Sunset Shimmer asked.
Cinch watched from afar.
"Equestria?" Twilight asked.
"You're supposed to be so smart, but did you ever think that you shouldn't be messing around with things you don't understand!?" Sunset Shimmer asked.
"But I want to understand!" Twilight said.
"But you DON'T! And worst of all, you put the lives of my friends in danger!" Sunset Shimmer yelled.
Twilight began to cry again. "I'm sorry... I didn't mean to!" She sobbed before running away.
Sunset Shimmer was about to chase her, until Rainbow Dash put a hand on her shoulder, making her realize her stupid outburst.
Cinch smirked as she saw this.
"Ahem." Celestia said.
"You can't possibly call that a fair race!" Cinch said, crossing her arms.
"Principal Cinch, we all saw what happened. You can't think CHS had some kind of advantage." Celestia said.
"Can't I? Even without your trained attack plants, your students have wings and can fly without them!" Cinch said.
"Well, the race had some... Extenuating circumstances. Perhaps we should end the Games now and declare a tie." Celestia said.
"Tie? Was this your strategy all along? To force us into accepting you as equals?" Cinch asked, pointing a finger at Celestia.
The eight kids walked up to the principals and dean.
"I think not. The Games will continue and Crystal Prep will prevail despite your antics and performance enhancing regimen your students are on." Cinch said, walking away.
Gohan snickered at 'performance enhancing regimen.'
"I'm sorry I couldn't keep all this from happening." Sunset Shimmer said.
"It's not your fault, Sunset." Celestia said.
"Isn't it? I should know how to control the magic I brought here. But I don't. I let everyone down. And now Principal Cinch thinks we're cheating!" Sunset Shimmer said.
"It doesn't matter what Principal Cinch thinks." Celestia said, putting a hand on Sunset's shoulder.
"But it does! The students here at CHS don't just want to win, they want to beat Crystal Prep! It isn't going to count if the other side doesn't really think they lost. Crystal Prep we win fair and square if there's magic around. And that magic is only around because of me." Sunset Shimmer said.
"Wait, what about Gohan?" Celestia asked.
"Oh, I don't use magic. It's just life energy, except mine is exponentially higher than a lot of people." Gohan said. "For example, I can do this at will." He said, blasting the sky with yellow ki.
Everyone looked in amazement.
"But I can't really explain magic." He said.
***
The third event was happening since the second event was handed to Crystal Prep due to 'cheating.'
They were around the entrance of the school, where bleachers were placed.
"Somewhere on campus, a pennant from each school has been hidden. Whoever brings the school flag back first wins!" Luna said.
"As soon as our teams are ready, we'll begin." Cadence said.
"But I don't feel like playing these games anymore..." Fluttershy said.
"But we have to! This is the last event!" Rainbow Dash said.
"Ugh. It's a little hard to focus with this magic stealing and portal opening." Rarity said.
"And I feel awful for what I said to Twilight." Sunset Shimmer said.
"Don't feel bad, everyone has their little outbursts." Gohan said.
"Especially when she actually didn't mean to do it... She's actually really nice." Fluttershy said.
Sunset Shimmer covered her face in shame.
"Oh, don't feel bad." Gohan said, placing a hand on Sunset's shoulder.
The rest of the Humane 6 stared at Fluttershy.
"Should I just dart in and out for you guys?" Gohan asked.
"Maybe... I'm not feeling that school spirit either." Rainbow Dash said.
"Let's just get through this last event and prove we're not cheaters. Then you can go over and apologize. Gohan, go as you wish." Applejack said.
"Yeah! You can do it!" Goten cheered.
On the other side, Cinch was instructing her students.
"I know I'm asking you to beat a team that isn't playing fair, but Canterlot High must be made to understand that even with magic at their disposal, beating Crystal Prep is simply not an option." Cinch said.
"But what if they grow wings again? He's still flying!" Sugarcoat said, pointing at Gohan, who was flying Goten around like an airplane while flying himself.
"Perhaps we can now fight fire with fire." Cinch said, walking up to Twilight.
"I've seen what your device can do, Twilight. Containing magical energy is fine, but have you considered releasing it?" Cinch asked.
"But I don't even understand how it works!" Twilight said.
"But you'd like to. And since our opponents have already used it to stay competitive I see no reason why we shouldn't do the same. Unless of course, you have no interest in Everton. Though honestly, I think there's more knowledge packed in that little device than any independent study program could offer." Cinch said.
The students and Cinch were nudging Twilight to use the magic.
If she didn't, then she was to blame for losing.
Twilight walked to the center of the 'stadium.'
Gohan was a few feet away.
"The last event begins..." Cadence said.
CHS and CPA were cheering.
Gohan looked in confusion.
"NOW!" Cadence said.
Twilight released the magic.
"W-What are you doing!?" Gohan asked.
A flash of white and a purple shockwave appeared, knocking everyone but Gohan and Goten down.
The purple orb of magic began to float.
And Twilight did too.
The pendant fell.
Everyone looked in shock.
"Twilight! Stop before you lose control!" Gohan yelled.
Twilight was being sucked into the growing orb.
She reached a hand out towards her team with tears in her eyes.
"HELP! ME!" She screamed as she was enveloped by it.
Another white flash appeared.
Twilight transformed!
Her hair was like flames, she received a glowing blue horn similar to Chrysalis, dark blue wings, glowing blue glasses, eyes and shoes and a spikier fashion.
Cinch began backing away.
Twilight cackled. "You were right! I didn't understand magic before! But I do now!" She yelled, blasting the Wondercolts' statue to pieces.
The portal to Equestria appeared.
A crack split across the ground.
Especially where the Humane 6 were.
Twilight made another portal appear to Equestria.
She made more, and more, and more portals appear!
Many started to run away and panic and scream.
Even Cinch ran away.
"That's enough! You cannot do this!" Gohan yelled, flying up so that he was at the same level as Twilight.
Twilight laughed. "Why not? There's a whole other world out there, and it's just FILLED with MAGIC!" She yelled, firing another blast for another portal.
"You're destroying this world to get to it!" Sunset Shimmer yelled.
"So what? There's more magic there... And I want to UNDERSTAND IT ALL!" Twilight yelled, powering up three blasts at Sunset Shimmer.
Gohan appeared in front of Sunset, holding the magic off.
"Run!" He yelled.
Sunset Shimmer did just that.
Gohan grunted as he managed to hold the immense magic in his hands, much to everyone's surprise.
He was able to make it incredibly small, to the size of a golf ball.
"You can't win here, Twilight!" Gohan yelled, crushing it completely.
Sunset Shimmer grabbed Twilight's pendant.
It started sensing magic from the rest of the Humane 6.
Then, she turned to Twilight. "This isn't the way! I know you feel powerful right now, and you can do nearly anything you want! But I've been to where you are. You're making the same mistake I made! I put on a crown and just like you, I was overwhelmed by the magic I had. I thought it could get me everything I wanted." Sunset Shimmer said.
"Oh you're wrong. Unlike YOU, I CAN have everything I want!" Twilight said.
Gohan flew up and kicked her in the face. "No you can't!" He yelled.
"He's right! You can't! Even with all that magic and power, you'll still be alone! True magic comes from honesty," Sunset Shimmer said.
Applejack began ponying up all of a sudden.
"Loyalty," Then Rainbow Dash.
"Laughter," Then Pinkie Pie.
"Generosity," Then Rarity.
"Kindness." Then finally Fluttershy.
Sunset Shimmer opened the pendant and started absorbing all their magic.
"I understand you, Twilight. As I want to show you the most important magic of all!" She said, holding the pendant towards Twilight.
Twilight merely levitated it away from Sunset Shimmer.
"Wait! Stop!" She said.
Twilight cackled. "Did you expect me to let YOU have some of this power?" She asked before cackling again.
Twilight absorbed the extra magic for herself, greatly increasing her own.
She dropped the pendant to the ground.
"N-No!" Sunset Shimmer yelled.
The rest of the Humane 6 were now extremely powerless.
And the remaining people left were them, the rest of CPA, Gohan and Goten.
"Now I'm UNSTOPPABLE!" Twilight yelled.
"No you're not!" Goten yelled from below.
Twilight frowned at Goten. "Begone, you child!" She yelled, blasting Goten.
"Goten!" Gohan yelled.
Smoke covered the area.
Then Gohan smirked.
"I think you've doomed yourself." Gohan chuckled.
"How so?" Twilight asked.
A yellow aura flared high into the clouds and the smoke was cleared.
People from afar could see it.
"H-He's a Super Saiyan...?" Rainbow Dash muttered.
Twilight looked in shock.
Goten had a death stare at Twilight.
"YOU MEANIE!" He yelled as he jumped up, cracking the ground and smashing his own fist into Twilight's face.
Twilight herself was surprised that with all her power, she was just hurt by a child!
Goten grabbed Twilight's arm as he fell back to the ground and smashed her against it, breaking his own fall.
The CPA team watched in shock as a six year old just brought Twilight down.
Goten repeatedly punched Twilight until Twilight powered up and flew up.
"Hey! Flying's no fair!" Goten yelled, completely forgetting that he could jump.
Gohan landed beside Goten. "Do you want me to take it from here?" He asked.
Goten nodded.
"Protect the girls." Gohan said, flying up at Twilight.
Goten sidestepped to the Humane 6.
"DIE!" Twilight yelled as she blasted Gohan.
Gohan used his invisible ki as a barrier to fend off the magic.
He was a human missile darting at Twilight.
He smashed his head into her stomach and roundhouse kicked her to the side.
Twilight recovered and was brimming with rage.
"How... HOW!? My pendant should've been able to absorb your magic! What the hell are you!?" She yelled.
Gohan turned to Twilight and smiled. "I'm no magic user. I'm a Super Saiyan!" He yelled, turning Super Saiyan to show off.
Twilight watched in shock.
"Y-Your hair... H-How..." Twilight asked.
People from afar could see the shining warrior.
Gohan reverted back to base form. "I won't be needing that." He said as he seemingly appeared in front of Twilight and started to repeatedly punch her all over her body except the chest.
He then kicked her, teleported behind her and roundhouse kicked her, teleported behind her again and kicked her, did it again, and ended it by smashing his fist into Twilight's stomach, making her cough.
Twilight grabbed her stomach in pain.
"Y-You..." She muttered.
"I don't want to keep hurting you, Twilight. You may possess one of the most powerful forms of magic, and the ability to warp dimensions. However, it truly pales in comparison to the magic of Friendship! Sunset!" Gohan yelled.
Sunset Shimmer stood up. "But they're powerless now!" She said.
"Not yet!" Gohan said.
Twilight darted forward and tried to punch Gohan with a magic powered fist, but he dodged, grabbed her arm and threw her over his shoulder.
"Goten! The pendant!" Gohan yelled.
Goten rushed to the pendant. "What do I do with it?" He asked.
Gohan avoided another blast from Twilight, knocking it away.
He fired a powerful blast at Twilight, further damaging and enraging her.
"Pass it to Sunset!" Gohan yelled, firing pea shots at Twilight in an effort to further enrage her.
Goten tossed the pendant to Sunset Shimmer and she caught it.
"Now what!?" She asked.
The rest of the Humane 6 were helped stand up by the CPA students.
"You should know by now." Gohan said, whacking another blast of magic away.
Sunset Shimmer looked to her friends.
"What is he even talking about?" Rainbow Dash asked.
Sunset Shimmer now realized what she had to do.
"Girls, I'm sorry, I have to do this." She said.
Sunset Shimmer held the pendant high.
The Humane 6 had what little magic they had left absorbed by the pendant.
Even Sunset Shimmer, who had a ton to spare.
She looked inside the pendant and the magic it contained.
Gohan smashed his fist into Twilight's gut, immobilizing her for a while.
She was in huge pain to try and attack again.
Gohan flew to the girls.
"Goten, take it!" He said.
Sunset Shimmer handed the pendant to Goten.
Gohan picked Goten up.
"I'm going to throw you, and I need you to direct this magic at her!" Gohan said.
Goten nodded.
Gohan swung him around a few times before letting loose.
Goten flew straight at Twilight.
Twilight managed to get herself to try blasting Goten.
Goten powered up and made his aura flare.
Twilight managed to hold Goten off for a bit.
"TWILIGHT!" Spike screamed, appearing out of nowhere.
Twilight looked down at Spike. "Spike?" She asked, her eyes suddenly turning normal again.
"Hyaaaaaaaaa....AAAAAH!" Goten yelled.
Goten broke through Twilight's blast.
He aimed the magic at Twilight and...
He... Blasted the magic somehow.
It even surprised Gohan.
Goten pulled a Kid Goku vs King Piccolo on Twilight.
Except he blasted her stomach and not did not push through her.
Twilight coughed blood as she desperately reached for nothing.
She gradually fell.
Her magic was sequentially returned to everyone, including from the pendant.
The Humane 6 all ponied up.
All of the portals deactivated.
Except for the one going to Equestria, that one remained inside the block of stone without the Wondercolts statue.
And her form returned to normal.
Gohan jumped up and caught Twilight before she would eventually hit the ground.
You know, bridal style.
Sunset Shimmer was a little jealous.
Can you guess why?
He laid her down on the ground and gave her a senzu bean.
Her hair was ruined a bit.
Twilight sat up. She looked up to see Gohan.
"You... Saved me?" She asked.
Gohan chuckled. "Why wouldn't I?" He asked.
The students from both schools began to go back.
"....I-I'm so sorry... I didn't mean for any of this to happen..." Twilight said, crying.
Gohan merely held his hand out.
Twilight was confused. "Y-You... A-After all I've...?" She managed to say.
"You wouldn't be the first person. I've- No. We all have learned that friendship is the ultimate magic. Even a tiny fraction of it was enough to destroy the evil in your heart." Gohan said.
Twilight hesitantly took Gohan's hand.
Gohan immediately brought her up.
"Trust me when I say that we all forgive you, Twilight." He said.
Twilight instinctively hugged Gohan while crying, much to his surprise.
He then hugged back. "Aw, hugs are nice." He said.
Twilight realized what she was doing, broke the hug and blushed slightly.
Then Spike tackle hugged Twilight's face with her glasses.
Twilight laughed as Spike licked her.
Cinch watched behind the bleachers.
She walked up to the two principals and dean walking outside the school.
"Principal Celestia, I demand you forfeit the Friendship Games! Clearly CHS has had unfair advantage for quite some time and it's certainly obvious that your students have been using magic for their own benefit." Cinch said.
"I think saving the world with magic and ki benefits us all. By the way, he isn't using magic." Celestia said, pointing at Gohan.
"At least they didn't manipulate Twilight into releasing all the stolen magic and turning into a power-crazed magical creature that tried to rip the world apart just to win a game." Sugarcoat said at a very fast speed.
"Wow! That's a lot to take in when you say it all at once." Pinkie Pie said.
"That's ridiculous!" Cinch retorted.
"Nope. That's pretty much what happened." Spike said, much to everyone's surprise.
"Actually, we're all to blame..... Mostly it was her." Sour Sweet said.
"Obviously my students have been infected with your magic! I plan taking this all up with the school board!" Cinch declared.
"Good! I'm sure they'll be interested in the magical students with wings." Celestia said.
Everyone realized how freaking absurd it sounded.
"Oh, and the portals to different dimensions." Luna said.
"And don't forget to tell them about the talking dog and the toddler and teenager who can change their eye color, hair color and hairstyle at will. Also who shoot laser beams out of their hands and move at superhuman speeds." Cadence said.
Cinch was brimming with rage.
"Don't forget feet, eyes, mouth and many other parts of the body!" Gohan added.
"Because that would NEVER ruin your reputation." Spike said.
She turned to the students and non students around her.
They all either smirked at her or had a mean face towards her.
She was seemingly going to explode...
But instead casually walked away.
"Well, I know this Friendship Games isn't what any of us expected. But given that what we've all just been through, I think it's fair to declare us all winners." Celestia said.
Everyone cheered.
Gohan walked over to Goten, who was still a Super Saiyan.
He reached into his pouch for his final senzu bean.
"You did great, sport." He said, giving it to Goten.
"Thanks Gohan!" Goten said, reverting back to base form and eating the bean.
"No problem, buddy." Gohan said, rubbing Goten's hair. "We couldn't have done it without you." He said.
***
Twilight was given the chance to transfer to Canterlot High!
The Humane 6 and the brothers were outside the portal.
They all got a gold medal, even though Fluttershy was out and Goten didn't even participate for the tryouts.
The students from Crystal Prep were still here.
"Are you leaving already?" Fluttershy asked.
"We won't leave yet, I still have to teach you all ki." Gohan said.
"And how to fly!" Goten added.
"Hey Sunset, did Princess Twilight get you a message yet?" Rainbow Dash asked.
Sunset Shimmer checked her book and nothing appeared yet.
"Nope. Nothing yet. But I think I figured it out. We all pony up when we show the truest part of ourselves. I was so busy for someone else to give me the answers and I gave up looking for them myself. I'm sure there will be more magical problems that'll pop up in this world." Sunset Shimmer said.
"And if they're some kind of monster bent on ruling the world or somethin', we got two Super Saiyans to fend it off." Applejack said.
"Yeah, but you can't expect us to be around to fix everything." Gohan said.
"Maybe I can be?" Twilight asked.
Everyone turned to Twilight who was with Celestia.
"It seems we have a new Wondercolt here at Canterlot High!" Celestia announced.
"I'm not sure how much help I can be. But I'd like to try! I-If you'd all give me a chance." Twilight said.
The Humane 6 all looked at each other and smiled.
"I'm sure you girls and boys can help her feel at home." Celestia said.
"Duh! We're all friends here!" Gohan said before anyone else.
Everyone got into a group hug with Twilight.
"Also, we're fellow nerds, right?" Gohan asked.
"Right!" Twilight said.
***
The nine were having a picnic outside the portal.
Just before training.
Pinkie Pie was lounging on the slab (top of the portal), Rarity was doing Rainbow Dash's hair, Applejack watched, Sunset Shimmer watched as she drank juice and ate a sandwich, Fluttershy was tending to Spike, Goten was also drinking juice and the nerds spoke tons of banter nobody else understood.
Sunset Shimmer watched Gohan and Twilight in a little jealousy.
They were getting along pretty well.
'Too well, perhaps? No, what am I thinking...?' She thought.
Then the Equestrian Twilight came bursting through the portal.
"I'm so sorry I didn't get here sooner! I didn't get your messages until just now because I was caught in this time travel loop and, honestly, it was the strangest thing that's ever happened to me!" She sputtered.
Then she saw this world's Twilight, who we'll now refer to as Sci-Twi.
"Make that the second strangest..." Twilight said.
"Well, we fixed the problem, Twilight." Gohan said.
"Great!... Should I leave?" Twilight asked. "I'm seriously ready to try and get thoughts of you all turning into ponies your not." She said.
"I... I think you need a therapist now." Gohan said, pointing at Twilight.
