The Swift Chronicles: Canterlot High Stakes

I handed the forms to Celestia first thing today. She was impressed and she accepted my candidacy! Mobius, here we come! Suddenly, a knock came at the office door. It was Sunset Shimmer, looking scared and frightened. She must be on her period, I thought, until she shouted.

"Vice Principal Luna, something terrible has happened!" she shouted at the navy blue woman.

Uh oh, I thought. Better follow them. So I did and we were headed to the gymnasium, which was total destruction. The streamers were torn down, and the balloons were popped. The gigantic disco ball was smashed and glass was all over the floor. Luna was shocked indeed.

"What happened?" she asked Shimmer.

"I don't know, but why would Twilight Sparkle do such a thing?!" Sunset sobbed on. Oh, shit, I thought. This IS the movie! I think we just interrupted the storyline. The only thing that was missing is the photos.

"How would you know Twilight did this?" Luna asked.

"Because I have proof!" Sunset Shimmer held up a couple photographs. Luna scanned them with her eyes and shoved them in her pocket. She walked away, leaving Shimmer, who had a triumphant look on her face. Anger raged inside me as I walked towards her.

"Listen, Shimmer," I shouted in her face. "If you think your cronies can blame Twilight for this, you're on fucking drugs!"

Sunset just smiled and pinched me in the cheek. "But Twilight did do it, you loser! Did you see those photos?"

"Yes, actually, you just took pictures of her playing against Rainbow, and photoshopped her into the pictures of the destroyed gym!"

"Actually, I- - wait... how did you know that?!"

"I'm going to prove Twilight innocent by taking the cut-out photos and hand them to Luna!" I wish I didn't say that. Flash Sentry was supposed to do that, so I took the photos out of the trash can outside the gym and ran as fast as Sonic. Sunset's stupid cronies, Snips and Snails, were on my tail. I was almost there. At the office, but I bumped into someone: Flash Sentry, thank Celestia!

"Woah, bro. Ya OK?" he asked me.

"Yeah!" I huffed and got up. "Flash, can you do me a favour? Quickly?!"

"Uhh, sure, what is it?"

"Can you take these in to Luna? Sunset is trying to ruin Twilight's candidacy, so I need you to take these in for me."

"Aren't you running for the Crown?"

"NO TIME! GOTTA RUN!" I ran down the hallway again. At least the storyline stayed the way it is. Suddenly, Scourge came out of nowhere and kicked me in the coconuts. Why do I always get hurt?!

"Think you can outwit Sunset Shimmer, eh?" Scourge growled. "Slimes, Snots, dispose of this rat!"

Snips and Snails finally got the best of me. They shoved me in a janitor's closet and Scourge duct-taped my mouth. I can barely breathe, and Sunset Shimmer came to me, while I was tied up in janitor suits.

"This is what you get if you get in my way, bitch!" Sunset said and her lips met with Scourge! Then, Snails threw a gas-can in there, locked the door, and I was knocked out.

**(No POV)

Twilight Sparkle was sitting in the darkness of Vice Principal Luna's office.

"But...but I don't understand." Twilight squeaked in the twilight. Luna walked towards her with a folder and threw it open.

"This is clearly you in the photographs, is it not?" Luna showed her the photographs. They showed Twilight kicking chairs and planks of wood over. Twilight was shocked that this was possible.

"Yes, but..."

"I think that it should be very obvious that the school cannot let someone who would do something like this compete for the Fall Formal Crown." Luna was stern, but Twilight was scared. She buried her face in her hands, but the door opened. It was Flash Sentry.

"Vice Principal Luna," he called. "My friend found these in the trash can outside the gymnasium. I think you should see them." He handed cut-out photos to the vice-principal. "Someone obviously combined these photos to make it look like Twilight was the one who trashed the gym."

"I appreciate you and your friend taking this into my attention, Flash." Luna walked to Twilight again. "In light of this new evidence, you may of course continue your bid to be Princess of the Fall Formal."

Twilight's smile widened across her face. She ran up to Flash and hugged him, tightly. "Thank you, Flash!"

"Don't thank me," answered Flash. "Thank Matt."

"MATT SWIFT?!"

"Yeah. He was being chased by two weird looking kids and the green athlete, Scourge. He asked me to give those to Luna."

"You mean, he tried to clear my name?"

"Yeah. Weird, huh?"

"Well, I'm afraid considerable damage has been done to the gym, that we have to postpone the dance 'till tomorrow night." Luna interrupted. "If you excuse me, I must inform my sister of this latest development." She walked out of the office and was gone.

"Where is Matt?" Twilight asked Flash.

"I don't know. We better look for him." They walked out of the gym, holding hands and blushing. Then, the emergency bell rang.

"Fire drill!" Flash called. "We gotta head out!"

Everyone was outside of the school. The fire bell rang, because of a gas leak. Everyone was waiting for Principal Celestia's signal. As every teacher took attendance, Antoine spoke to Tails.

"Monsuier Tails," he said to him. "Where iz Matt?"

Tails thought puzzling, then, it hit him.

"MS. CELESTIA, MATHEW'S STILL IN THERE!" Tails screamed through the crowd.

The school was in shock. What would happen if Matt died of lung failure. Suddenly, Sonic and Fluttershy ran to the school. VP Luna ran in front of them.

"What are you doing?!" Luna asked them. "You have to stay out here!"

"If we do," Fluttershy said. "Then, Matt will die!"

"She's right, VP Luna." said Sonic. "Besides, I'm as fast as the wind."

Luna hesistated, but Celestia answered.

"Very well, but don't be too long! Your lives are on the line." she cried.

Sonic ran with Fluttershy on his back. In ten seconds, they ran back out, with Mathew Swift's limp body, tied and gagged. The fire department checked Matt's pulse and finally, "He's still alive."

The school cheered and Fluttershy hugged him, crying. Tails came with defibulators and pressed it in Matt's chest and "CLEAR!" The electricity traveled through the still body and shot through his heart. He awoke in a gasp.

**(My POV)

---**

I don't know what happened, but I suddenly woke with a flash. I gasped for breath and I looked around. Tails had two metallic pads in his hands and Fluttershy was by me. Celestia and Sonic were standing above me.

"W-where am I?" I asked.

"You almost died in there, dude." said Sonic. "You alright?"

I felt my head. "Yeah." Then, I saw Sunset Shimmer, Scourge, and their gang. Scourge did a cutting-the-throat-with-a-knife gesture. I gulped.

"You say that he was tied up in the janitor's closet with a gas bomb?" asked Luna. BAM! Truth time!

"EXACTLY!" I shouted. "It was Scourge's doing!"

"SCOURGE TRIED TO KILL YOU?!" Sonic gasped. Then, he looked to the crowd. "SCOURGE!"

Scourge actually had the balls to walk out of the crowd and said "You rang?" He was actually smiling. Then, he toppled over. Applejack brought him to Celestia with her strength.

"Scourge, why would you do such a thing?" she asked him, looking furious.

"Because... because..." He couldn't make anything up, by the looks of it.

"Well, I'm afraid you will have to be suspended."

"Sister," Luna asked her sister. "Wouldn't it be safer if he was expelled?"

"I believe anyone, even Scourge, can change, Luna." Celestia explained wisely. "Until you can change your ways, Scourge, you are hearby suspended till further notice."

Scourge stammered a few unrecognizable words, and left Canterlot High. Celestia turned to me. "Do you need any medical attention?" she told me.

"Nah, I'm alright." I answered. As I got up, I saw Twilight Sparkle run up to me and hugged me, very tightly. She whispered in my ear, "Thank you."

"Ma'am," said the Chief. "The school is safe now."

"Thank you." the principal said. "Alright, students, the school is gas-free and is now safe to enter. Please proceed to your classes."

The students were heading to the classes, except my Mobian friends and the Equestria Girls. Twilight walked up to Celestia.

"Can we probably stick with Matt, today?" she asked.

"Well, he has been through a lot... very well." The girls cheered and tackled me, but Rainbow Dash's tackle was worse. Even Flash came to my side. He was apologizing.

"I'm sorry, Matt." He said, sadly. "If I would've known what Scourge was up to, I would've helped you."

"Don't worry, Flash. Apology accepted."

And the crowd of students came inside the destroyed gymnasium. At least tonight, we'll be going home... but to think about it, maybe I don't want to go back. Canterlot High was fun, but so was Mobius. What should I do? Should I go back with Sonic and his friends, or stay here with my new and awesome friends?

The gym was a disaster. Snips and Snails really did a pretty good job at destroying it, didn't they? Me, The Mobius Boys and the Equestria Girls were examining the chaos.

"And I thought Charmy was messy," said Espio.

"Hey!" screeched Charmy.

"What will we do?" asked Antoine.

"I have no clue." said Rarity.

"We have to clean it!" said Twilight. I agree. I knew Twilight had to return to Equestria before the moon rises at it's highest peak. "I agree with Twilight. We can do an awesome montage!"

Pinkie Pie held up a CD. "Can we do "Don't Stop Believing" from Yipee?" (Author's Note: Can you guess what Yipee is based off of?)

"Uhhh, sure." said Sonic.

Pinkie put in the tape and we got started. We cleaned as we sang.

One killer montage later...

After a killer montage, we did it in no time flat. Celestia was pleased.

"Thank you all, even you, Matt and Twilight." She said, happily. "The dance will proceed on schedule." We cheered.

"You know," Twilight told me. "We all make a good team."

"Yeah," I said. "We did, didn't we?"

"Where's Aura?"

"He's probably findin' a gift for me." said Applejack.

"Likewise," said Rarity.

"We better get ready for the dance," said Rainbow Dash. "Me and Sonic got a slow-dance to go to."

"Compared to you and Sonic," I said. "It should be a fast-dance."

Everybody started laughing. I did, too. We left the school as the bell rang and the dance was hours away.

The Dance finally arrived. Students were looking their absolute best and the decorations that we put up were spectacular! The Equestria Girls wore the same thing from the movie. Us Mobius Boys were wearing what corresponds us. Aura gave Applejack an apple-shaped ruby locket, but Knuckles wasn't pleased.

The crowning ceremony came and Celestia walked up to the stage, with Luna, carrying the crown containing the Chaos Emeralds, the Master Emerald and the Element of Magic.

"Welcome, everyone!" she said through the microphone. "The votes were close, but we finally have our Fall Formal winner." She opened the envelope and read it. "The Fall Formal Crown Bearer is..."

I crossed my fingers and Celestia shouted into the gym.

"Twilight Sparkle!" The girls cheered. Sonic and the Mobians moaned, but I was happy. Suddenly...

"But I noticed that somebody else deserved the crown, for proving such generosity, loyalty, honesty, kindness, laughter, and made sacrifices for their friends. The result was a tie, so we have a Princess AND a Prince this year. Give a warm applause for MATHEW SWIFT!"

The crowd suddenly grew as loud as Vinyl's amps. The Mobians cheered and shooed me on stage. I get the Emerald crown, while Twilight gets the Element of Magic crown. Twilight kissed me on the cheek and I blushed...a bit. I tried to put it on, but then, I heard Spike's voice.

"HELP! TWILIGHT!" he yelped. Then, I saw Bean and Bark, stupid Mobian villians, take Spike, who is a dog in this world, away. Twilight ran after them, and I followed. The Equestrians and the Mobians ran, too. We ran to the portal to Equestria, with Sunset Shimmer, holding up a sledgehammer.

"Well well, Sparkle and Swift." she said sharply. "I trust you know Bean and Bark? They want to eliminate Sonic, so they'll have to get the Emeralds or the Crown."

Sonic walked forward. "How did you know about the Chaos Emeralds?"

"Scourge told me before he left the school. Either give me the Crown or the Chaos Emeralds. No crown, no portal! No Emeralds, no girl!"

"Girl?" I asked.

Snips and Snails walked out with a gagged up girl with a red dress and pink hair. Amy was tied up and Scourge came in with a knife, next to Amy's neck. Sonic tried to rush forward, but I stopped him. "Tick tock, goody-two shoes! Time's runnin' out!"

Which would it be? If I give them the Emeralds, they're going to kill Amy anyway. But... if according to the movie, Twilight won't surrender the crown, Shimmer won't damage the portal. So I waited for Twilight to say...

"No."

"WHAT?" Shimmer was stunned. "What about Equestria? Your friends?!"

"If I let you have hold of these, then this world will fall into chaos," said Twilight. "Equestria will find a way to survive without magic, so go ahead! Destroy the portal, but you are not getting this crown!"

Suddenly, Scourge ran towards Twilight, and Sonic jumped in front of him. Sonic ran and tackled Scourge. "Same goes for the Chaos Emeralds!" he cried to Sunset Shimmer.

"Fine," Sunset calmly said. "You win, Sonic the Hedgehog." She tossed the sledgehammer over her shoulder and hit Bean's foot, and he cried "OWWIE OWWIE!"

Rainbow Dash ran up to Sonic in awe. "You...are...so awesome!"

The Mobians and Equestrians were crowding us, but I noticed Scourge was trying to rise back up.

"SCOURGE!" I cried and pointed to the green-haired monster. Twilight turned and Scourge tripped her to the ground. Snips and Snails tackled Tails for the Chaos Emeralds and Bark was encountered by Aura. Bean noticed the purple star tiara and shouted "SHINIES!" At that note, Applejack lifted Bean and threw him across the courtyard. Finally, Sunset has the Chaos Emeralds and Master Emerald on Matt's crown and Scourge has gotten Twilight's Tiara, while Bean was knocked out and Aura tricked Bark with the power of Aura.

"Ready, baby?" Scourge raised the crown over his head and said that to his girlfriend.

"Yep." Sunset took hold on the Emeralds and shouted "CHAOS CONTROL!"

A pair of bright lights, one purple and one yellow shone over Scourge and Sunset Shimmer. Sunset transformed into a red and gold hedgehog, with green eyes and the white of the turned black. She now had red quills with several gold highlights like Shadow's red highlights. Scourge tranformed into a green-haired pony version of Twilight. They both looked at each other and laughed maniacally.

Sunset Shimmer and Scourge became demonic creatures of darkness. I was shocked and stood still as well as the others. They each casted a powerful spell on Snips, Snails, Bean and Bark, turning them into savage monsters.

The only way to defeat them is if I got hold of the Chaos Emeralds or the Elements of Harmony. That's it! I f Twilight can manage to get her friends by her side, we might beat Shimmer... but what about Scourge?

The students were watching the whole thing unfold. Scourge turned to them with his dark eyes and held out his hand.

"CHAOS CONTROL!"

The doors of the front of the school collapsed into a ball of stone and glass and was tossed aside. "Hail to the King, baby!" he cried out loud. He tampered with the crown and suddenly, me and the Mobians transformed back into our Mobian forms. Silver stepped forward.

"You may have Chaos Control, but I have psychokinesis!" He held out his hand and levitated Scourge, holding him still. Then, a blast of green light shot at Silver, knocking him out. Sunset Shimmer shot at Silver and chuckled "But I have MAGIC!"

"Thanks, babe." Scourge floated downwards.

If only I could get the Elements... Then, it hit me!

"Hey, Scourge!" I shouted at the purple hedgehog.

"What do you want, you little brat?"

"Do you know what can defeat you?"

"Nothing! Glad you said that! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"But do you have any friends?"

"Why would I need friends?"

Twilight then, stepped forward and shouted. "Because that crown can only work with the power of friendship! The Elements of Harmony are powers that can be generated by friends, so it's powerless to you, Scourge!"

As that happened, the crown floated off of Scourge's head and landed on Twilight's head. A bright light came from the purple star and shone the girls and Mobians, me included. I felt a powerful force and from what I saw, the Mobians, Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Vector, Silver Antoine were pulling towards Applejack, Rarity, Twilight, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash. Then, six glows came to each group.

A navy blue Chaos Emerald floated to Sonic and Rainbow Dash and shone a cobalt blue light. When it vanished, there floating in front of them was a blue Chaos Emerald, in the shape of a lightning bolt and a necklace with a blue jewel-shaped shoe as the center. They both shone several words into the air.

Loyalty and Super Speed

A red Chaos Emerald came to Knuckles and Applejack and shone a crimson light over them. Then came a red Chaos Emerald, in the shape of an apple and a pair of ruby gloves came into view. They shone words, like Sonic and RD's.

Honesty and Strength

A yellow Chaos Emerald came to Tails and Twilight next. It revealed a pair of moonstone Cannon Blaster and a Chaos Emerald, in the shape of a star. The words shone again.

Magic and Wisdom

A green Chaos Emerald came out of nowhere and visited Vector and Pinkie Pie. It gave them both a pair of emerald green headphones and a green balloon shaped Chaos Emerald. The words illuminated to form:

Laughter and Rythym

A silver Chaos Emerald levitated to Silver and Fluttershy. They created a silver butterfly shaped Chaos Emerald and silver Inhibitor Rings. Thus the words are:

Kindness and Balance

A purple Chaos Emerald floated upwards over Antoine and Rarity. There appeared a amethyst-hilted sabre and a diamond-shaped Chaos Emerald. The words appeared again.

Generosity and Sportsmanship

But the bright blue Chaos Emerald hovered in the middle and came to me. It shone the brightest light I have ever laid eyes on, and it vanished. Then came an aquamarine wand with the Chaos Emerald in the shape of a heart. Then, the illuminating word shifted out of my wand.

Sacrifice

I did perform all seven of these acts throughout this whole adventure. But the Chaos Emeralds are in Shimmer's hands. Then, I figured it out. We created the Harmony Emeralds and the Elements of Chaos.

"Say hello to the bearers of the Harmony Emeralds and the Elements of Chaos!" I raised my wand and the bearer's weapons lit and created a blinding light and we all shouted "FRIENDSHIP POWER!" A rainbow beam shot from the light and shot at Sunset and Scourge. Scourge vanished from existence and Sunset returned to her original form.

I felt a powerful surge go to my heart and I blacked out. I heard muffled voices and then, nothing.

I woke up in the hospital and the Main Six (including a new Twilight), the Mobians, Flash and the Crusaders were surrounding me, and I noticed I was back in the hospital. Sonic and Rainbow Dash cheered, while Tails and Fluttershy said a quiet 'Yay'.

"What happened?" I asked.

"The energy must've knocked you out, but Scourge is destroyed and Sunset Shimmer, well, let's just say she won't be picking on anyone anytime soon." Aura said.

"Yeah, we stayed," Sonic began, "is because we wanted to wait for you to get back." It was a while to think that through, but I came to a decision...

"Thanks, guys," I said, weakly, "But I'll stay here."

"Wait, WHAT?!" Knuckles was starting to get frantic. "You saved both worlds, though! My island, the Emeralds! The least I can do is let you live up there!"

"Thanks, Knux," I protested. "But I made new friends, and I don't want to leave them." Fluttershy knelt and kissed me on the cheek. I turned red with ambition and said again "I'm staying in Canterlot High."

"Very well." Shadow said and patted me on the head. "CHAOS CONTROL!" A blast of energy opened a portal and the Mobians stepped inside, with Sonic meeting lips with Rainbow Dash. I heard them whisper.

"Please return one day." Rainbow whispered.

"I will, I Pinkie promise!" Sonic winked and stepped inside. The portal closed and that was all. The girls crowded me and Twilight gave me a raven-shaped aquamarine.

"This is your Harmony Emerald, Sacrifice." Twilight smiled and gave me a peck on the cheek. I know I'm going to have fun here, not to mention friends. After all...

Friendship is Magic!

The End
