Zatch Bell Equestrian Battles!

After getting that warning from Kane, Kiyo was deep in thought over Sunset Shimmer and what she could want. it wasn't until now, however, that Kiyo realized how weird the names around here were. In fact, he was so deep in thought on this subject that he hadn't realized that he was walking towards the Library until he accidently bumped into someone.

"HEY WATCH WHERE YOUR GOING!" A kid shouted at him which seemed to finally snap Kiyo out of his thoughts.

"Huh? Oh sorry about that." Kiyo said as he saw the two boys standing outside the library entrance.

It was then he noticed what they were doing as he looked into the library to see a girl with purple hair doing some pretty weird things with the libraries books. Kiyo felt a bead of sweat drop down his brow as he observed the girl holding an encyclopedia in her mouth. He turned to see the boys recording the whole thing on their phones and frowned.

"Get lost!"

Without arguing the boys instantly ran off while Kiyo sighed before walking over to the girl.

"Umm need a hand?" Kiyo asked as the girl turned on her knees to see him holding his hand out.

She instantly shot to her feet with the book still in her mouth, however, after seeing how much Kiyo was staring at the book she let it go with a nervous giggle.

"What are you trying to do?" Kiyo asked with a raised brow.

The girl sighed as she picked up the books she managed to collect. After seeing a few of the covers Kiyo seemed to realize what she was trying to do.

"I get it, you're trying to study history." Kiyo summarized as she nodded nervously.

"Umm....Please don't tell anybody I did any of that."

"Trust me I wasn't planning on it. Looks like you got a lot their need some help?"

After a moment of thought, she nodded bashfully and Kiyo started picking up a few of textbooks she had collected. However, after observing them he noticed that they weren't very helpful, or even related to what she was trying to study, so he put those which didn't seem all that relevant up and picked out a few more.

After that, Kiyo and the mystery girl studied together for what felt like hours. It was surprisingly difficult for her to understand most of what Kiyo was trying to explain. Not only that but her handwriting was remarkably bad, almost un-legible, and most of the textbooks she tried to read from were filled with terms she couldn't even wrap her head around.

Needless to say, it was a very long afternoon of studying...

"So what's your name anyways?" Kiyo asked as he decided now was a good time to take a break.

"Oh, my name is Twilight Sparkle! It's a pleasure to meet you!" She shouted just now realizing that she hadn't introduced herself.

"I gotta admit I'm kinda impressed." Kiyo said as he closed the textbook in front of him.

"I could say the same for you! I've never actually had the chance to study with others before. It's definitely a welcomed change!" Twilight exclaimed excitedly.

"Well, I've been reading books far more complex than these since I was a kid." Kiyo explained as he remembered his days back in his dad's study.

"Really!? These books are really complicated!"

"Well, my dad happens to be a professor in England and he usually brings a lot of books home with him. So seeing as I didn't have many friends when I was little I spent a lot of time reading."

While Kiyo was talking about his past Twilight couldn't help but see something in Kiyo that made her slightly nostalgic.

"He was just like me...." She thought as Kiyo laughed a little.

"Yeah.....But recently I've had to deal with some pretty weird stuff because of him." Kiyo explained which caught Twilights attention.

"What kind of weird stuff?"

"Well, I just turned 14 and my dad usually sends some books and clothes as a present. However, this time, he sent me something pretty strange." Kiyo explained as he reached into his bag.

Twilight felt a cold feeling run through her body as Kiyo pulled out a strange red book. Twilight suddenly froze as she saw the symbol printed on the front of the book. She had seen a symbol similar to this one before, however, it shocked her that such a thing was here.

Suddenly they both heard yelling coming from the hallway and turned to see a Yellow-haired boy running up and down the halls with tears in his eyes.

"KIYYYYYYOOOOOOOO!!"

"I guess that's my Que. Anyways It's been a pleasure Mrs. Sparkle. Oh, and my name Is Kiyo by the way." He explained as he packed up his things and prepared to leave.

"WAIT!" Twilight shouted while grabbing his arm which caused Kiyo to look at her in shock.

"Do you mind meeting me here tomorrow?" She asked as Kiyo looked at her with a raised brow.

"Umm, sure.......Any particular reason?"

Twilight looked down at her feet which made it seem like she didn't want to talk anymore. Kiyo sighed and agreed to meet her tomorrow and left the library as he grabbed the screaming Zatch and made his way back home.

"I wonder what that was about?"

The Next day!

Kiyo felt his blood pressure begin to rise as once again. Zatch had followed him to school. However, today felt a lot more strange seeing as everyone, even the teachers, were on their phones and gossiping about something.

"Hey, Kiyo what's everyone so worked up about?" Zatch asked while Kiyo stared at a group of giggling students laughing at their phones.

"Don't know Zatch.....But maybe it's about time we find out." Kiyo said as he and Zatch made their way to the library.

However, on his way there he suddenly felt someone grab him and drag him into away. After taking a second to register what had happened he suddenly realized who had drug him into an empty classroom.

"Pinkie!?"

Pinkie gestured to keep quiet as she pointed to the other side of the room where a girl suddenly burst through the door with Twilight. The girl had pale white skin with curly purple hair with a white top and a royal purple skirt with three diamonds stitched onto it. Kiyo and Zatch watched as the strange girl started to measure Twilight before putting a bright green top with a matching skirt with a blond wig.

"Oh yes~! this is good! Now no one will be able to recognize you." The girl with the incredibly posh accent explained as Twilight just stared at her with a confused expression.

"Rarity why wouldn't I want anyone to-" Twilight tried to say only to be interrupted.

"And will need a disguise for your pet dog. Which is too bad cause he so adorable~." She exclaimed while gesturing to the small purple dog sticking out of Twilight's bag.

For a second Kiyo almost thought he could see hearts in the dog's eyes. However, before he could ponder that any further someone else suddenly burst into the room. She had tan skin with a blond hair tied in a ponytail she also wore a green and white vest with a simple blue skirt.

"There you are Twilight!" She said in a strong southern accent.

"So much for the disguise." Rarity exclaimed as the southern girl walked in.

However, right behind the southern girl, another girl walked in but this one was all too familiar. Kiyo gasped as the girl from the hostage situation peeked her head through the door. Kiyo remembered her name was Fluttershy from what Rainbow Dash had said back then.

She turned and locked eyes with Kiyo and instantly she looked like she was about to burst into tears. However, before she could the southern girl walked over to help her.

"It's alright Fluttershy. Why don't you say hello?" She said as Fluttershy nodded and walked up to Kiyo.

"H-H-Hello......T-Thank you...." Fluttershy said in a type of tone that made it seem like she was whispering.

"Well at least her name makes sense......Sorta."

"Why were you all looking for me? What in the world's going on?" Twilight asked as everyone's attention was drawn back to her.

"Oh, it's horrible! She hasn't seen IT yet!" Fluttershy said as Pinkie pulled out her laptop and placed it on the table.

Youtube Video

Everyone was flabbergasted, to say the least. Both Kiyo and Zatch stared at the screen with blank stares while the rest of the girls cringed at the imagery. As the video ended there was a long drawn out silence as everyone looked at Twilight who was trying her hardest to hide under the table.

"Has everyone seen this?" Twilight asked as the rest of the girls nervously looked at each other.

"Ugh.....Nobody is gonna want to vote for me after seeing this!"

"Umm Twilight, if its still ok with you, I'd like to vote for you." Fluttershy said as everyone turned towards her.

"Um well.....You stood up for me when Sunset Shimmer was trying to bully me! So I-I feel like I owe you...."

Twilight seemed to relax, however, Kiyo shuddered at the very mentioning of her name. But he tried to keep cool as to cause any suspicion, after all, the last thing he needed was to get in any more trouble.

"Hold on a second what are you guys talking about?" Kiyo asked as everyone turned towards him.

"Oh sorry bout that. I guess cause your new here you don't know much about the Princess of the Fall Formal party." The southern girl exclaimed with a tip of her hat.

"Fall Formal?"

"It's this thing Sunset Shimmer wins every year! And old Twilight over there is gonna be the first girl to challenge her for the crown!" Pinkie explained as Kiyo stroked his chin in thought.

"Hold on a second....This feels way too convenient. Just as this Fall Formal event is about to take place the school gets attacked. If I believe in what Kane told me.........Then this sunset shimmer might be more dangerous than I had originally had thought."

What many people didn't know about Kiyo was that he had a bad habit of muttering to himself whenever he is deep in thought. So.....Basically, he was whispering to himself while everyone stared at him.

"Umm is he ok?" Rarity asked while Zatch nodded.

"Yeah, Kiyo can be a little....Strange sometimes! Yeah, thats it! Kiyo's REALLY weird!" Zatch said enthusiastically while the girls giggled amongst themselves.

"Oh, Zatch~!" Kiyo said in a threatening tone as Zatch froze on the spot.

"YAHHH! I'm sorry Kiyo! I didn't mean it! HONEST!" Zatch yelled as he tried to appease his angered friend.

"Anyways, if you still wanna run for princess maybe there's a way I can help?" Pinkie said as Rarity raised a curious brow.

"Oh really? You want to help huh? Funny seeing as you like to be a glory hog." Rarity said while folding her arms

"WHAT!?"

Pinkie turned towards Rarity with fire in her eyes as her face turned bright red. Suddenly they heard something coming from the front of the room and saw the southern girl throwing away an apple she had been eating.

"Yall still angry at each other? Grow up and get over it!"

"Oh, really Applejack? Just like you *got over* your little problem with Rainbow Dash?" Rarity asked with a cocky smirk as Applejack frowned.

"Rainbow told me she was gonna bring all the teams to my bake sale. I told everyone that they would be there and not a single person even bothered to show up! She made a liar out of me thats different!"

"IS NOT!" Pinkie and Rarity shouted in unison.

"ARE TOO!"

Suddenly the room erupted into a war zone as everyone except for Kiyo, Zatch, and Twilight started arguing with each other. Heck, even Fluttershy was fighting with the group which surprised Kiyo seeing as he kinda saw her as a doormat.

"GUYS!"

Suddenly everyone got quite as they turned towards Twilight who looked pretty upset.

"I wanna show you all something." Twilight exclaimed as she pulled out a book from her bag.

As she turned through the pages Kiyo managed to summarize that it was a yearbook. Then she turned to a page with a group of girls that he was all too familiar with.

"You all were friends at one point! But something changed and I believe it had something to do with Sunset Shimmer." Twilight said as Kiyo suddenly caught onto her tone.

"It's a nice theory but it's not Sunset Shimmers fault for Pinkie ruining my silent animal auction. It was supposed to be a serious event and she ruined it!" Fluttershy said with a huff.

"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!? I got a text from you saying you didn't want a Silent auction! You wanted a big party!" She explained as she pulled out her phone showing her texts.

"I-I didn't send you a text?"

"Hold on you don't think that she's been the one sending me those Emails do you? Every time I offer to help with events at school I get and Email saying that Pinkie already has plenty of help already. Then I learned that she had done everything herself!"

"I didn't send you any Emails." Pinkie said as she looked through her phone.

"You don't think she was the one who caused all that mess between me and Rainbow Dash do you?" Applejack asked with a worried expression .

"Did you ask Rainbow Dash about what happened?" Zatch asked as Applejack rubbed the back of her neck awkwardly.

"I kinda stopped talking to her after what happened."

"WHHHHHHAT!? ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT THEY ALL DIDNT EVEN THINK TO ASK A SINGLE QUESTION ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED!?" Kiyo thought as the girls looked at each other with embarrassment written all over their faces.

"Well then maybe it's about time we change that." Twilight said as she stood up and comforted her friends.

The girls all started towards the door until Twilight turned to see Kiyo deep in thought.

"Are you coming to?" Twilight asked Kiyo as he shook his head.

"No, not yet. I need do something before leaving school but how about I catch up with you guys later?" Kiyo said as the girls all seemed to nod their heads in agreement.

"Then meet us at Sugar Cube Corner! See ya later Kiyo!" Pinkie exclaimed as the girls walked outside.

"Kiyo?" Zatch asked with a worried tone.

Kiyo knelt down and placed his hand on top of his head. Zatch noticed the look in Kiyo's eyes and remembered the day when he and Kiyo were on the roof.

"Zatch......It's time we start operation...." Kiyo said with a determined look in his eyes.

Zatch suddenly felt his eye's light up in excitement as Kiyo stood up and pulled out the red book. Without skipping a beat Zatch and Kiyo chose their next words very carefully.

"HERO OF JUSTICE!!"
