Rainbow Sentai: Guardians of Harmony

Humane World: Canterlot City High-School; The Music Room

"Is she back yet?"

"No..."

"Now?"

"No..."

"Now??"

"PINKIE!" The rainbooms shouted

"But it's been so loooooooong!" Pinkie whined and pranced in place flailing her arms childishly with a pout

"Darling do calm down, I'm sure Sunset will be right along; her last message said they'd just finished the whole um...what was it again Twilight?"

"The harmonizing process...or at least the first step of it anyway..."

"Theres more?" Rainbow asked raising any eyebrow as she tuned her newest guitar.

"Mh-hm; Sunset and her Equestrian friends channeling their pure magic in their world was the first step and now that she has the amulets, she need only bring them back here so we can fully stableize and sync them to our own magical fields so they can cross sync across the dimensional gateway...you see..."

"Okay Twi no need to get all eggheady on me..."

"Hey, her being eggheady is cute thank you very much..." Sunset's voice rang from the ether

"Epp!" Fluttershy yelped in surprise. "W-Who said that?"

"What in the hay?" Applejack said in confusion

"What in the world?" Rarity wondered looking around

"Huzzawhuh? Where? What?" Rainbow said in a small panic.

"See there she is..." Twilight said with a happy smile knowing what was coming next.

A red and yellow sphere appeared in the room and slowly formed into Sunset's cutie mark and she materialized out of it.  Now fully dressed and back in the human world Sunset greeted her friends. She herself had undergone a little bit of a woredrobe change again but not by much, she'd saved up her money for a brand new jacket and with a few alternations from Rarity it'd become a stunning red and yellow jacket with a phoenix on the back with the words 'Sunset' sown into the wings, her jeans were navy blue with gold flames along the sides of her legs, a pair of sneakers adorned her feet, her shirt was sparkly like and was faded into the colors of the sunset and around her neck was a necklace that bore her cutie mark and around her ring finger was a ring that looked very similar to Twilight's cutie mark. Smiling brightly at her friends Twilight would react to her first the only way the bookworm knew how beating Pinkie to the punch....or pounce in this case.

"SUNNY!" Twilight said jumping at her girlfriend before Pinkie pie and Sunset caught her, twirled her around and planted a smooch on the adorable geeks purple cheek gaining a delightful squeak and goofy smile from Twilight. "Eheheh...I missed those" She bashfully fiddled with her bangs and blushed her signature tint of pink.

"Aww I missed you too Twi hehehe but I wasn't too far from you ya'know..." Sunset said with a teasing grin

"Oh ha-ha...enjoy looking at alternate princess me's butt too I bet..." Twilight said sarcastically turning her nose up indignantly with a hrumph.

"Can you blame me for staring?" Sunset said with a husky giggle as she smacked Twilight on her tight jean clad ass. 'Mmmpfh I am SO glad I got her those pants one size too small...hehe genius shimmer' she thought to herself. "That ass just WON'T quit...and I don't want it too..."

"Oh get a room!" Rainbow said turning away from the mushy display.

"Oh like you always get a room with-" Sunset gave a smirk and began to say and instantly saw Rainbow's face turn pink with embarrassment  and Applejack coughed into her hand to clear the air.

"A'lright ya'll let's just git down ta business 'for things get too raunchy in here eh?" Applejack said standing between Rainbow and Sunset

"I agree...honestly have no of you any manners?" Rarity said sitting on the large piano filing her nails checking them every so often.

"Haha right, right fine I guess we really shouldn't be wasting any time..." Sunset chuckled setting down her back that held their new amulets.

"So? C'mon! Show us!!!" Pinkie said hopping up and down

"Indeed darling, we're just dying to see these magical marvels!" Rarity remained on the piano but kept her eyes on Sunset

"Yeah c'mon Shims! Don't keep us hangin'!" Rainbow threw up her hands

"I reckon ahm pretty excited to see this super magic stuff too sugarcube" Applejack said grinning as she stood near Sunset

"Ohhh I can't wait to run tests on these!" Twilight exclaimed

"Easy girls easy just let me..." Sunset started to say until Fluttershy cut in.

"Um Sunset...did you always have that necklace?" Fluttershy pointed out.

"Hm? Oh no...this is just my harmonizer...good to know the disguise function works..." Sunset said proudly putting a hand to the necklace in question

"Come again? Your harma-whatsitnow?" Applejack said scratching her head

"Harmonizer; the device that'll allow us to transform remember? Given it might be a little strange if not a suspicious to carrying these big amulets around, there is a spell cast on each that'll make them look like ordinary necklaces and when we need to transform we simply need to will our magic to make it turn into the harmonizer and then just pony-up like we always do but like...times a hundred..." Sunset said still impressed at the power she'd felt before.

"I see, very interesting and convenient design choice darling."

"Thanks Rarity, the other you gave me the idea actual...oh and she wants to know if you can send over some samples of your work so she can compare notes...I have a few of hers for you...not so sure who a pony dress will translate to a human dress but I'm sure you'll figure it out...Oh! and I went to Celestia and convinced her to help us with our um...'money problem' she tossed me a bag of royal gold coins which'll be very valuable here so getting that abandoned old library is gonna be a cake walk now"

"Ha-ha yes!" Twilight fist pumped "Suck it Cinch! No way I was letting crystal prep board convince the city to just take down the golden oaks library...it's a natural history mark! Now that we have the money we can rent it out for new projects!  I've already got a bunch of my machines set up and running there too!" Twilight hopped up and down in glee and hugged Sunset. "Oh this is amazing Sunny! Thank you thank you thank you! Mmmmmmmahw!" Twilight planted a big wet kiss on Sunset's cheek and this got a massive blush from the pony girl and she smiled a goofy smiled and twirled the colic of her hair.

"Pft...It's was nothing really..." Sunset said down-casting her eyes embarrassed slightly

"Hardly darling, what you're doing here is simply the most selfless and generous thing you could do for this world." Rarity praised. She was enthralled by the idea of using her newly acquired magical ability to do some actual good in the world, she was a master at making clothes and she was a very generous young lady using her families fortune to better others rather than herself more often than not and she was a young business woman with her own shop in the city. She figured if she could safe guard the world and spread the glory of fashion then why not right?

"I reckon Rare is right Sunset, yer idea ta have us be super heroes is plump crazy I gotta say still but ah'd be lyin' if I said I ain't wanna do it though, after all ahm already lackin' in the 'livin' parents' department so what the hay?" Applejack shrugged, the mention of her parents passing something that didn't bother her to talk about so as long as they weren't being talked down about, they were dead and that was the truth but they were at peace and Applejack was okay with that and if being a hero with the magic she was gifted with was a choice she had to make, she knew they'd want her to do it and of course little Applebloom needed more positive role models and what better than a secret identity as a super hero.

"Totally! Now we can spread smiles and friendship to everyone!! We'll be all like blam, pow, kaboom! Hadoken!!!" Pinkie said making the motions of the sounds and things she was refernecing and somehow actually threw a haodken across the room which no one questioned...it was Pinkie Pie after all. Pinkie was super excited about all of this, she always wanted to be a super hero just like the power ponies from her comic books and the tv show, as a little ittie bittie twinkie Pinkie she'd always wanted to dress up and use her skills to protect people and make people happy and then throw a party celebrating that they beat the bad guys and now thanks to Sunset she'd finally have a chance and she couldn't be more thankful or happy.

"Pinks is right Shims; I mean like for real we should've done this after we beat the dazzlings cause it's obvious that your world kinda well...no offense..."

"I know used yours as a magic hazard dumping zone...our ancestors weren't all the brightest you know and in their defense they didn't do it with ill intent, more often than not they didn't know what world they were sending them too."

"Right but still it's awesome we're finally doin' this though! This is gonna be great!" Rainbow was probably the most estatic out of all the girls, she'd always dreamed of being a super hero and she had all the attributes of a hero; brave, strong, loyal, smart, cunning, clever, good looking, courageous, valiant and now she had magic so why wouldn't become a hero? Destiny was practically begging her too and she'd heed its call and defend her world against any magic scum that dared to try and invade it no matter what.

"And think of all the good we'll be able to do! All the new things we'll be able to learn with this new level magic! Ooooh the possabilities are endless!" Twilight beamed hopping from one foot to the next in glee her glasses flopping on her face.

"So how do they work? Is...Is it um...safe?" Fluttershy questioned from behind her wall of flowing pink hair in her usual meek tone; she really wanted to do good for the world and protect people from meanies and baddies that wished to harm them just like the magical girls in her favorite anime...while she may not have been as gracefully or strong as them or even as brave, she had a pure heart and if anime taught her anything it was pure of heart + magic= unstoppable strength! Fluttershy just wanted to make sure it was safe after all, she didn't want to turn into a raging she demon...was that mean? that sounded mean...I'm sorry.

"Totally 'Shy; you've got nothing to worry about...these a rush of intense power when you first it on and do the transformation for the first time, but we'll need to re-harmonize them with a different song since I sung the first harmonization song with the other girls and Spike and Starlight...."

"Speaking of Spikey wikey where is the little darling?" Rarity chimed looking around for the little purple and green pup.

"Heheh he's hanging out with his 'friend' Ember" Twilight giggled pushing her glasses back up on her face and smiled at the mention of her dog. "We've got Vinyl ready at the stadium, I'll just go pick up Spike and I think Starlight is at work at the magic shop with Trixie and Moon Dancer; they've all been getting along really well lately! Starlight is fitting in so well...I still don't know how you managed to get her to warm up to us so quickly..."

"Heh lets just say I knew things about her she didn't think I knew and I kept history from repeating itself..." Sunset said with a chuckle remembering back to a conversation she had with Twilight and the Starlight Glimmer of Equestria.

Starlight told her that if she ever met her human world self and if she was anything like how Starlight used to be before her reformation then Sunset was told to take every steps possible to ensure she didn't turn out bad; but much to her surprise the human Starlight Glimmer was much like any other high school girl with a life and problems of her own and since she wasn't a direct parallel of Equestria Starlight Glimmer she didn't seem to have the same background entirely. She was really just a shy girl with a passion for knowledge and loved everything about magic, the very thought of it enthralled her, she'd loved it ever since she was a child according to her. So it was only a matter of time when Starlight made friends with Trixie whom had actually become more friendly with the Rainbooms after the battle of the bands, apologizing for her as Rarity put it 'Complete and Utterly Uncouth'  behavior during that time. Then things only got better from there over the months as the girls spent time together and got to know one another, each friend taking time on different days to spend with one another so no one felt left out and they'd try and have a slumber party or some kind of get together every weekend.

At a point Twilight's childhood best friend Moon Dancer had transferred to CHS after moving to Canterlot city back from Manehatten where she was going to boarding school. Much to everyone's surprise since it was also a big prediction, Moon Dancer and Trixie were cousins! Trixie hadn't seen Moon Dancer since she was very little and they were both ecstatic when they saw each other again. The three of them, Starlight Glimmer, Trixie Lulamoon & Moon Dancer had formed a very strong friendship over the course of the few months that they'd known each other and were always making new friends every day. Trixie's parents were famous magicians and owned the Starswirl Magic Palace which was the most popular magic shop for miles; they had it all, pranks, gags, props, costumes, tricks,spell books, magic charms. Her father was also an explorer and collector of rare magical items, much to Sunset's surprise this world had more magic than she thought. They also put on magic shows often and the Rainbooms often played shows there which paid really well, Trixie worked there as an assiatant manager, Moon Dancer was on the books and Starlight was head stock girl since she was almost as OCD as Twilight...almost.

Twilight herself worked part-time at the magic shop and did tutoring at CHS as well for extra money since she wasn't boarding at Crystal prep anymore and she was together with Sunset; Sunset was more than happy to let her girlfriend move in with her and Twilight was more than generous enough to use her many connections and funds to help Sunset pay her rent and so much more, something Sunset was very thankful to the bookworm for and now she'd be able to defend the world with her and her friends by her side. A confident smile on her face she'd grab her backpack and slug it on her shoulder.

"C'mon girls let's go get Spike & Starlight and let the rainbow shine."

All the girls gave a nod and followed. Even though they had to wait a little longer they knew with Sunset at the helm that the wait would be well worth it. Going outside into the spring/early summer sun Sunset exhaled a happy sigh as she took in the fresh afternoon air. Looking at the time she read it was 3:50, Starlight got off work at 4. Heading over to her motorcycle, a gold and red phoenix themed Kawasaki Ninja which was generously and highly supped up thanks to her favorite little genius and her own tech adept mind. Rarity went to her car which was a purple and white Audi R8, Applejack to her orange/black Mustang GT with Pinkie riding shotgun, Rainbow Dash had asked Twilight and Sunset to supp up her old skateboard after it'd been through a rough last ride during a skateboarding competition that she won and turned it into a anti-gravity propelled hover-skateboard which Rainbow often used to show off as it also gave off her rainbow coattail. Fluttershy had herself a electric BMW since she wanted a car that was fast, Eco friendly and safe, and Twilight? Twilight had to have the coolest ride which always made Sunset and Rainbow a little(in Rainbow's case A LOT) jealous. It could only be described as an exact replica of the cycle from Tron just more modern a lot more practical and with purple lights instead of blue or red. Twilight was barely able to get it made street legal but after proving it was safe to drive and was 100% Eco friendly(since it ran off her magic but fooled them into thinking it was some other kind of clean energy source) she was only able to keep it on the condition that it was the only one of its kind.

Once everyone was geared up and ready to go they all sped off; Rainbow especially zooming off at top speed yelling.

"RACE YA!"  Rainbow yelled as she zipped off on her board, her rainbow coattail left in her wake as she left them in the dust.

"Same old Rainbow..." Sunset chuckled revving her engine and zooming off after her with Twilight close behind.

"We'll take the alternate route and meet ya girls there, we all know we ain't beatin' rainbow there when she's on that thing..." Applejack said with a chuckle as she sped off too.

"Indeed, see you there darlings!"

"Drive safely!" Fluttershy said as best she could.

As they all sped off in different directions(Fluttershy not so much speeding at first but calmly pulling out then driving off and accelerating gradually but much faster than one would think for Fluttershy.) They would tear through the streets of the city each driving toward their general destination . With all the charity work they'd done and all the hard work they do just doing their daily jobs and the generous donations from Equestria the girls were all able to live comfortably and quite lavishly as of late so they saw no reason not to spoil themselves a little and Twilight was more than happy to dedicate her time in using her technological advancement skills to help make things even better. That's why she put so much time into being the bands tech manager and helping with special affects that didn't apply to their magic and making new gadgets and things of that nature for them to make use of and not just for the band but for Trixie and the magic shop too; Twilight's skills with machines and things of that nature were a big help to the Lulamoon's and their magic acts as well as bringing attention to the shop in general.  She planned to keep working there part-time through college since she'd decided to attend Canterlot City University with the rest of her friends as their graduation was closing in. Sunset, Twilight, Moon Dancer and Starlight all had the chance to graduate early but they decided not too because they wanted to walk the stage with their friends.

As they road through the streets they'd reach their location in the large shopping center and the large building that looked like a wizards hat with a massive star on top of it stood high. Rainbow of course standing out front waiting with a forced bored face.

"Too slow girls! Ha-ha! Still the fastest girl alive!" Rainbow fist pumped

"Geez stroke it harder why don't you?" Sunset said getting off her bike and putting away her helmet in her backpack.

"Bet that's what you say to Twilight when you two are-" Rainbow started to say until she got a smack upside the head from Applejack "Ow! The fuck AJ?"

"That's nuff outta yer fat mouth sugarcube, quit yer teasin' em..." Applejack said in a stern tone to rainbow poking out her lower lip a bit

"Grrrrr....hmph...fine...killjoy..." Rainbow blushed and grumbled and crossing her arms and turning her nose up.

Sunset smirked and made a motion with her hand that looked like the cracking of a whip and Rarity chuckled and so did Twilight. When the giggling died down and everyone was accounted for she looked at her phone to text Starlight that they were waiting for her. After waiting a couple of minutes Starlight Glimmer exited the building with a smile and waved to greet her friends with Spike in her arms and her blue and larger dog Ember tagging along behind her.

"Hi girls!" she called

"Hi Starlight!" They all shouted

"Hey Sunset! Welcome back" Spike said

"Hey there Spike, enjoying time with you 'friend'" Sunset gave a knowing smile

"Eheheh...you could say that..." Spike chuckled and blushed and Ember did as well turning her nose up, she couldn't talk like spike but her actions all spoke for themselves. she was a very protective dog but had a soft spot for Spike.

"So you ready to go?" Sunset asked

"Yep, Ember be a good girl and go back inside alright? Don't worry Spike will be back..." She smiled and put Ember behind the ears and Ember did her best to look like she didn't care that Spike was leaving but clearly she didn't want to let the little pup go. Giving him a nuzzle and a happy bark she'd canter off back to the shop where she would be let in by  Moon Dancer who waved to them all and they waved back. Starlight would turn to her friends and was ready to go, this Starlight Glimmer had a hairstyle more similar to how she wore it was a child but her pigtails weren't as long as her usual ponytail and she wore them in a twin tail fashion with a set of hair clips, black pants with a belt that bore her cutie mark, a dark purple shirt and a small overcoat  that also had her cutie mark on it. "So did you do the thing?"

"Yep, the thing is done, we just need to re-harmonize and then we can head over to the library and finally put that new simulator to the test" Sunset affirmed

"Alright cool, I can't believe your letting me join you in this, this is so cool!" Starlight squeed.

"Well c'mon sugarcube hop in with Rarity and we'll git on to the stadium in the park." Applejack said as she and Pinkie loaded into the car.

Starlight as she was told and got in the passenger seat of Rarity's car and buckled her seat belt right away having learned the hard way that Rarity did not like people not buckling their seat belt, she was a nag but a loving nag. Once everyone was properly situated they took off again with Sunset and Twilight leading the way towards the stadium and Rainbow Dash showing a little restraint as she cruised along fast but not too fast  but still did tricks to show off as per her nature. After a short ten minute ride they reached the park where Vinyl scratch awaited them, her DJ tables all set up and looking completely teched out as if she'd been to the future or watched too much Tron Legacy. Waving over to the girls as they approached the stage after parking their respective vehicles they'd greet her back.

"Hiya scratchy! Sorry we're late!"

"S'all good pinkster I've been tunin' the tables since I got here anyway and tweaking a few of my rigs, these new light show effects and stuff you gave my car speaker are just off the charts Twi!"

"Ehehe oh it was nothing really...I just added a few extra bells and whistles to your already amazing transforming dubstep mobile...how did you get it again?" She asked quizzically

"I know I guy..." Vinyl waved a dismissive hand and smirked from behind her shades

"Riiiight...anyway we're all here and Sunset has the amulets."

"This is gonna be rad! Totally can't wait to see you guys pull this off! Thanks for lettin' me in on it all."

"We couldn't have done it without you Vinyl, without your music and your ability to perfectly mix and harmonize we'd never have cracked the frequency to be able to create the harmony matrix in the first place! Who'd have thought dubstep would be so helpful..." Twilight said

"Never doubt the wubs...ever..." Vinyl said in a semi serious tone.

"Ehehe right...no offense...I really do like your music though Vinyl..." Twilight poked her fingers together guiltily because when she first heard dubstep from Vinyl she made the mistake of being too critical of just one piece she didn't like and wrote off dubstep as 'digital nonsense' for lack of a better term but then when she finally found a track she liked and realized how deep it all was she apologized to the blue haired DJ. Vinyl was really laid back and chill and surprisingly really smart and so it was her creative ingenuity that helped Twilight and Sunset and Starlight crack the wavelengths and patterns of their harmony magic in a way that allowed them to free manipulate it...it was all really complex stuff but the short version is, wubs and friendship=magic...Twilight hated that she couldn't come up with a more scientific way to explain it but Sunset reminded her not everything needs explanation especially in the realm of magic...Pinkie Pie being a prime example and Twilight learned the hard way not to try and make sense of pinkie and it landed her in the hospital for a week with a twisted ankle which thankfully healed up fast thanks to her magic giving her accelerated healing.

"None taken Sparkles not everyone can get into the feel of the wubs right away just takes the right song...speakin' a songs I got the PERFECT one for you girls to sing to re-harmonize the amulets."

"Awesome work Vinyl; let's get to it then...this is gonna be something special; and we've got the place alone right?" Sunset asked

"Yep I got Principal Celestia to let us rent it for the day so we're good."

"Cool, don't wanna attract too much attention...alright girls gather round." Sunset called to the other girls who came into a circle as Sunset slipped her backpack off her back and held it in her hand and then put a hand to her necklace and it began to glow a golden light and then transformed into her harmonizer and the girls looked on in amazement as Sunset then began to freely levitate the bag in a teal glow similar to her aura in Equestria. From the bag she took out the remaining eight necklaces; seven for the other girls and one for spike. Each one adorned with their cutie marks and spike's crest of the dragon.

"Wicked" Vinyl said in a mellow tone

"Amazing..." Rarity said

"Wow" gasp Fluttershy "They're pretty"

"Awesome! We get telekinesis!?" Starlight squeed

"This is gonna rock!" Rainbow fist pumped

"Well I'll be..." Applejack tipped her stetson.

"The designs have held up well and I can just feel the magic coming off them!" Twilight mentioned

"C'mon what're we waitn' for girls?! Let's pony up!!" Pinkie cheered.

"Guess we've waited long enough." She focused and flew each necklace to the girls necks and put them in place and then levitated her guitar o over into her hands.  It was red and faded with orange and yellow taking after her namesake. The other girls took their positons, Applejack on the bass, Rainbow on the Electric Guitar, Rarity on the keytar, Pinkie on the drums, Fluttershy on the tambourine, Twilight as lead singer and Starlight on the flute...she played it surprisingly well  and also helped with back-up vocals. Spike was in the middle of everything and Vinyl had set up special microphones for each of them in their designated spots.

"Alright girls these mics will translate your voices into the same harmonic wavelength as the amulets, they'll need time to absorb the magic, channel it and stabilize and lock into you, this way no one else can use them but you and they response to your voice and your voice only...pretty since fail safe."

"Why thank you" Sunset mentioned with a grin and looked to her friends with a happy smile and then looked up to the sky to see the bright shinning sun, clear blue skies and far in the distance the moon. Her smile turned to a grin as she turned to her friends and Vinyl who returned to her table. "Ready girls?"

"What was that command spell again?" Rarity asked

"Shine, Light, Shine...Friendship Harmonize." Sunset said reciting the spell. "We need to recite the spell together before the song and activate the amulets...well, you all do...mine is pretty charged already so once we reach a certain point in the song i'll pony-up to complete everything."

"Alright then...well...here we go...Ready girls?" Twilight asked and all the girls gave an affirming nod and Spike barked in approval. They all stood in formation from left to right it was Rarity, Starlight, Pinkie, Sunset, Twilight, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash & Applejack with Spike sitting right beneath Twilight and Pinkie was in the back at her drumset which seemed to have gotten an upgrade as well looking almost like a set of speakers. As they all took their stances and held their instruments they'd speak the command spell in unison

"SHINE LIGHT SHINE...FRIENDSHIP HARMONIZE!" They all activated the amulets and they began to shimmer and glow collecting the magic inside them and charging up slowly but sure and with that Pinkie twirled her drumsticks and clacked them together as she felt a rush of power and an overwhelming sense of joy overcome her as her magic began to manifest and the song hadn't even started yet, her sheer happiness was simply bringing forth the power of her element and it showed.

"1 2 3 4! HIT IT GIRLS! " Pinkie shouted as she began to pound the drums rapidly and in perfect harmony not missing a single beat to start off the song and Rarity instantly got her cue as her fingers flailed across her Keytar with  grace and fluidity never before seen in the fashionista. Sunset, Rainbow and Applejack quickly joined in when it was their time and Rainbow and Sunset wailed on their guitars in a way only ever seen by rock stars from the golden ages of the 60's and 70's. Starlight & Fluttershy did their part to keep up, adding their instruments melody to the mix and once the song reached its beginning climax where the lyrics came in, Rainbow Dash started things off and Twilight would follow up soon after then followed by Starlight; they each switched singing roles perfectly with one another and their rocking melody was mixed in perfect crescendo. Their pony hair and wings and ears appearing almost instantly as the song hyped up.

Take off, at the speed of sound

Bright lights, colors all around

I'm running wild, living fast, and free

Got no regrets inside of me .

Not looking back

Not giving up

Not letting go

I'll keep on running!

It was at this point Sunset activated her amulet using her magic and a golden and red glow enveloped her again like it did back in Equestria and as the song continued to hype up the amulets filled up rather quickly and the girls all looked to each other knowing it was time. Concentrating as they continued to sing the amulets were gripped in a magic aura belonging to each of the girls. Sunset(red) Twilight(violet) Rarity(white) Pinkie(Pinkie) Fluttershy(Yellow) Applejack(Orange) Rainbow Dash(light blue) Starlight Glimmer(Green) Spike(light green).

I'm gonna reach for the stars

Although they look pretty far

I'm gonna find my own way

And take a chance on today !

The amulets exploded with light and their cutie marks all holographically appeared from the center pieces of the amulets like Sunset's did in Equestria and each girl was caught in a massive pillar of light that was their own color and they all mixed together to form a rainbow similar to how it happened during the battle of the bands. Within each pillar of light each girl took on their armor as it materialized bit by bit as their clothes left them, none of them even seemed to care that for a few short moments they were completely naked but the light was so blinding no one could see them. The magic warped them, changed them in order to make them stronger, they'd grown a couple of inches and their bodies...matured in ways. Girls that were flat or lacking(rainbow and rarity) weren't anymore and the girls who already had something to work with had even more. They also took on regal dress like armor looking very similar to midnight sparkle's attire but more armor like instead of fabric but it felt like a second skin and was highly flexiable. Each girls armor was colored specifically to them and each of their core themes shined through each, Applejack's armor keeping her stetson for example. The biggest difference was that while their hair grew longer it didn't stand on end super sayain style but flowed naturally...except in Rainbow's case who had SSJ 3 hair and Rarity who had similar hair but with diamonds in it

The sky with stars so bright

The colors feel so right

I never felt like this

I'll keep on running!

The sky with stars so bright

The colors feel so right

Just take my hand

We're gonna reach for the stars

Tonight...

[Instrumental]

Tonight....

Wake up, living day by day.

Do what I want, and I'll do it my way

The world is flying right below my feet

Got no regrets inside of me.

Not looking back (Not looking back)

Not giving up (Not giving up)

Not letting go

I'll keep on running!

It was at this point Spike felt a growing power inside him from the collar he was given, he felt hot...a fire in his core. He growled and his eyes turned to slits as the crest began to shimmer brighter and then coated him in a light green and purple light and it exploded outward and he turned into a massive armored fire breathing dragon with chrome black and green armor. The girls continued to sing despite their surprise.

I'm gonna reach for the stars

Although they look pretty far

I'm gonna find my own way

And take a chance on today

The sky with stars so bright

The colors feel so right

I never felt like this

I'll keep on running!

The sky with stars so bright

The colors feel so right

Just take my hand

We're gonna reach for the stars

Tonight...

Tonight....

[Instrumental] As they reached the hypest part of the instrumental they're magic had become so unifyied that they floated off the ground into a swirling rainbow light and a beam of rainbow light blasted forth into the sky and it could be seen from space, the glowing rainbow plowing through the cosmos and past the stars.

I've got it in my sight.

The colors feels so right.

Got my feet off the ground I'll keep on running!

Oh, I can feel it now.

The colors all around

Just take my hand we're gonna reach for the stars...

Just take a chance (Just take a chance)

We'll do it right again

(I'm gonna reach for the stars)

Just take my hand (Just take my hand)

We'll take a chance tonight...

Reach for the stars...

Tonight!"

[Instrumental]

Tonight...

As the song came to its end and all their magic had finally stabilized and collected together perfectly, the girls landed back down on the stage still in their transformed states and each girl was taking time to gush and fawn over their new appearances.  Pinkie was a bit upset at first that she didn't have wings but then quickly learned she was a lot faster on her feet and Rainbow was the fastest in the air still. Spike himself was enthralled with himself as the once small pup was now a towering dragon with wings armor and all.

"This is...awesome!!!! I feel so...so...Powerful! I feel like we could take on the whole damn world!"

"I seriously feel a great swell of pity for the poor unfortunate soul who comes to this world or our town looking for trouble now." Sunset said with a grin as she looked out onto the sun.

[The Everfree Forest: Sombra Manor,the Crystal Mines]

A rainbow light blasted into the cosmos and shook the skies and the earth and could be seen all the way from the deepest parts of the Everfree forest and deep within the rocky mountains lay what appeared to be a ruined castle

"The light...." Wheezed a dark and gravely voice from the shadows of the crystal caves from what appeared to be a throne and the rattling of chains could be heard and then a wheezing groan. "The Light..." The figure opened its eyes of piercing eyes and hissed "Must...Kill...Kill the light...kill it...with darkness...the darkness....yeeeeees" The figured cackled sinisterly and coughed. "Soon light...Soon...Darkness shall kill you...and kill you dead...ehhhehe hehhehehehehe hahahahahhahahahahahahahahah!!!!!!!" The figured cackled madly through his violent coughing and wheezing until it settled into a groan. "Need...Pawns...need...more...darkness..." The figure seemed to leak an inky black shadow that had glowing green eyes with purple mist coming off the sides. "Find more darkness...find the light....and bring it to me..." hissed the hooded old figure to the shadow and the shadow scurried out of the cave and into the forest to find an unsuspecting victim(s).

[Elsewhere in the Everfree Forest]

"H-Hello?" Said a slightly frightened Sonata Dusk as she turned around having thought she heard something while she was gathering firewood like Adagio and Aria asked her too. Passing it off as nothing she went back to collecting wood so she could get back home in time for S'mores! But then she heard the ruffling again and gulped. "Please don't be a bear, please don't let it be a bear , please don't let it be a-"

A small white bunny hopped out from the bushes and Sonata sighed in relief.

"Phew, you startled me little guy..."she knelled down to put the furry little creature only to then have it turn into a shadowy hellish nightmare and Sonata couldn't scream in terror fast enough as the shadow consumed her by going into her throat and it felt like it was burning and she couldn't breath. She chocked and gagged putting her hand to her throat as a red glowing sore grew where her magic amulet once rested and her eyes turned black for a moment and then back to normal but her eyes had a green tint to them now as she stood up as if nothing happened and walked back to the barn where she and the other Dazzling's had run away too after the battle of the bands. When she arrived again Aria was the first to approach her and she seemed pretty ticked that she did't have the firewood.

"The Fuck Sonata? We told you to get firewood..." Aria bellowed

Sonata stood there and looked at her and blinked

"What? Too retarded to speak now taco breath?" Aria snapped, she hated when Sonata ignored her.

Sontata continued not to answer the middle child siren.

"Answer me you fucking twerp-" Aria was suddenly cut off by a deep passionate and almost angry kiss from Sonata and in her shock she didn't even notice the shadow leaking into her body and Sonata kept the kiss going long enough for the same red mark to appear on Aria's neck like she had on hers. When she broke away Aria was silent and they both walked into the barn to find Adagio who was in the kitchen prepping dinner.

"You're both late...did you get firewood this time Sonata?" Adagio asked with her back turned

Neither of them answered and simply closed the door to the barn and locked it and closed the blinds and killed all the lights.

"Um...what are you two do-"

"Darkness..." Aria spoke in a monotone voice with her eyes turned pitch black.

"What the fu-" Adagio said startled and turned to her sisters.

"Unleash the darkness..." Sontata hissed; her eyes black as well in monotone as they walked toward Adagio who had  knife in her hand from cutting meat.

"Embrace the darkness!" Aria hissed as they neared closer and knocked Adagio over and backed her into a corner and a red mist escaped Adagio's body and entered the sores on their throats as they fed on her fear.

"G-Girls...whatever this is...i-it isn't funny!" Adagio said backing away prepared to stab them as the two sirens advanced on her but they easily disarmed her and forced her to the ground their eyes black as pitch as they both spoke in demonic tones and held her down by the arms roughly.

"N-No! Aria! So-Sonata! Snap out of-" Adagio shrieked in panic and sheer terror

"YOU CANT...LOCK UP...THE DARKNESS!" They said in unison and opened their mouths to show a inky black and greenish like energy and they screamed at Adagio like banshee's and she in turn screamed just the same.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Adagio's Aria's and Sonata's screams howled through the  barn as they all turned to embrace the darkness and in the distance the mad laughter of an evil reborn rang through the Everfree forest.
