Sonic High: Rainbow Rocks

In the cafeteria, Miles Prower, Knuckles, Amy Rose, Blaze, Silver, and Shadow all sat together near their 6 new friends from the Fall Formal event.

“So let me get this straight...Before the dance, this whole school was divided but afterwards, everyone was brought together all because of some magical pony princess and supersonic blue hedgehog from different worlds?” Blaze asked.

Tails nodded. “Correct. I know this all seems pretty weird since you and Silver transferred from another state, but it’s all true! Ask Sunset Shimmer, Applejack, ask anybody,” he answered.

Amy glanced over to the girls and blinked. “Wait. Where is Sunset Shimmer?”

“She’s out giving some new transfer students a tour of CHS,” Shadow answered.

“Hey speak of the devil...no offence.” Knuckles frowned.

“None taken...yet again.” Sunset Shimmer said as she sat down with her friends.

Applejack gave a warm smile as she turned to face her. “So? How was the tour?” she asked.

Sunset frowned. “I-I don’t know. I-I mean these girls...they were...there was something off about them.”

“Like off like this? Or off like this?? OOH! Or like-” Pinkie Pie asked, making faces with her food before being cut off by Rainbow.

“Maybe we should just let HER tell us,”

Both girls smiled and turned back to Sunset, a carrot suddenly coming loose from Pinkie’s mouth.

All eyes were now on the fiery-haired girl.

“That’s just it! I can’t put my finger on it! They just acted sorta...strange around me,” she paused, showing a saddened expression. “Maybe someone already talked to them, told them about what I did. So much for making a good first impression…” she sighed before burying her head in her arms.

The whole table stared at her, feeling sympathy...well…

“Uh huh.” Fluttershy said, smiling.

The whole table turned to her with questionable expressions.

The cream-skinned girl noticed. “Oh, that’s probably not it!” she corrected herself before nervously shrinking down to the table.

Suddenly, the main doors burst open and 3 girls in punk/tough looking clothing entered, vocalizing, all eyes on them.

“We heard you want to get together.

We heard you want to rock this school.

We thought of something that is better.

Something that changes all the rules.

Why pretend we’re all the same,

when some of us shine brighter?

Here’s a chance to find your flame!

Are you a loser or a fighter?

Me and you, you and me,

why don’t we see who is better?

We don’t have to be one in the same thing!

Oh what’s so wrong with a little competition?

Are you afraid of failing the audition?

You’re a star and you should know it!

Yeah you rise above the rest!

It doesn’t matter who you hurt

if you’re just proving you’re the best!

(Ah Ah-ah-ah!)

Battle!

You wanna win it!

Let’s have a battle!

Battle of the Bands!

Let’s have a battle!

We’ll go all in it!

Let’s have a battle, battle, battle

Battle of the Bands!”

The whole cafeteria was now arguing and yelling at each other, practically at each other’s throats!

“I can beat you!” one girl shouted.

“Ha! You wish!” said another.

“I SO WANT THIS!” Trixie yelled.

“NOT IF I GET IT FIRST!” a guy threatened.

Now everyone had joined the 3 girls in song, pointing fingers, shaking fists, threatening to hit, etc.

Well almost everyone. Sunset Shimmer and her friends sat at their table, looking at the chaos with confused, scared, and surprised expressions.

“Me and you, you and me,

why don’t we see who is better?

We don’t have to be one in the same thing!

Oh what’s so wrong with a little competition?

I’m going out and winning the audition!

BATTLE!

We wanna win it!

Let’s have a battle!

Battle of the Bands!

Let’s have a battle!

We’ll go all in it!

Let’s have a battle!

Battle!

Battle!

BATTLE OF THE BANDS!!”

A mysterious green fog shrouded the room as everyone else continued to argue and turn against one another.

“OH! They’re THAT kind of off!” Pinkie realized.

After lunch, the two groups of friends walked together in the hallways, having an uneasy feeling about what they had just witnessed.

“Those 3 are definitely in possession of some kind of dark magic. How else can you explain what happened back there??” Sunset Shimmer questioned.

Applejack smiled. “Don’t worry y’all! We let Principal Celestia know about this, and those girls will be kicked to the curb in no time! Last thing she needs is another CHS event almost ruined by some power-crazed lunatic!” she said before realizing something. “Uh, no offence.”

Sunset Shimmer shook her head. “None taken.”

“Dark magic? I find that very hard to believe,” Principal Celestia said, peeking out through a crack in her blinds then turning to the group. “Those girls came into my office earlier and were absolutely delightful.”

Vice Principal Luna scoffed. “Perhaps Sunset Shimmer and Shadow are just eager to make somebody else a bad element so that their actions at the Fall Formal will become old news.” she deducted.

“We can see why you might think that but-”

“That is not what’s happening! We saw this all go down in the cafeteria too!” Rainbow Dash explained.

“Yes but isn’t your band supposed to be part of the musical showcase?” Celestia asked.

Rainbow Dash gritted her teeth. “...Yes.”

“Perhaps you’re all just jealous that The Dazzlings will steal your spotlight.” Luna deducted again.

“The Dazzlings?” Knuckles and Applejack both asked.

“It’s the name of their musical group. That’s why they came by my office earlier to sign up for the showcase. Even sang a little song to Vice Principal Luna and I,” she explained.

“They did??” Applejack asked.

“Yes, and we think that having a Battle of the Bands is a marvelous idea,” Celestia finished.

Everyone suddenly noticed that both principals’ eyes appeared to change color…

Later on the front lawn of the school, Shadow and his group had sat down, unsure of what to do next.

“They’ve gotten to the Principals too...this can’t be good,” Shadow said.

Tails pondered. “The last time something like this happened, Princess Twilight and Sonic were in our world.

Knuckles nodded. “Some time has passed but even if the mirrors were open, it’s probably a one-way entrance!”

Shadow sighed. “If only I still had that Chaos Emerald. We could hook it up to something and try to send Sonic a message to return.”

Suddenly, Mr. Kintobor ran over, panting. “Miles! Miles Prower! I’ve been looking for you! We have a mutual problem!” he announced.

Tails sighed. “Is it about the Dazzlings? If so, then we noticed...Wait a second! Eggma-er Kintobor! I think we could use your help!” he said.

Blaze tilted her head. “Who’s this?” she asked.

“I am Ovi Kintobor! The one and only teacher specializing in robotics and machinery at CHS. And you two must be Blaze and Silver, the recent transfer students from out of the country. It’s a pleasure to meet you both,” he said.

Blaze and Silver smiled. “Uh...thanks.”

“Now Miles, you said you needed my help?” Kintobor asked, turning back to said student.

Tails nodded. “Do you think you can build a portal? Just the basic construction! I’ll handle getting it to work,” he asked.

Kintobor raised an eyebrow. “What for? Wait let me guess, The only way things will go back to normal is if you bring Sonic the Hedgehog back into our world just like how the girls over there are talking about bringing back Twilight Sparkle to face off against the Dazzlings and defeat them?” he asked.

Tails was surprised. “Uh...exactly. How soon can you build it?”

Kintobor stepped onto his mobile and speed off, coming back a few minutes later with a portal gate! “This is a prototype I finished a few months ago. I never actually got it to work but if you think you can do it, knock yourself out.”

Tails beamed. “Sweet! Move it over to the statue! Knuckles, bring me some jumper cables! Shadow, prepare a note! Meet me back here as soon as possible!”
