Before they started, Insanity handed Aldon the electric guitar.

"Why are you giving me this?"

"I'm going to try your spot for the song. Besides, you have the cuffs." He said as he activated the power of the cuffs by saying, "Activate"

They follow that order as Insanity started the song with a muffled like beginning and then…

The audience looked with their mouth opened after seeing the performance. One student clapped slowly and then one by one everyone was applauding to their music.

Rainbow Dash cheered trying to get Danto to forgive him for what happened minutes ago. Insanity looked at her and walked away.

Rainbow sighed and whispered to herself, “What have I done?”

“That was awesome, we need to do this more.”

“Well, a deal’s a deal.” Insanity said draining from Danto into a mirror. “There you go, 1 man who won't really be cheered up right there.”

“Thanks. Now we just wait for what Luna and Celestia say.”

Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna walked on stage, ready to announce who's going to be in the finals.

“The band that will be joining the Dazzlings in tonight's finals…”

“Come on…”

"Please."

"We had to have won this round."

“The Rainbooms.”

“What?!” Both bands shouted in disbelief that the Rainbooms made it to the finals. The Rainbooms walked on stage as the Shredders of Light left knowing their time in the Battle of the Bands… was finished.

As the Shredders of Light left the backstage, they heard booing from the gym.

“Hmm. Guess everyone upset as it is, mad if you will.”

Rainbow saw Danto and was walking to him until Sunset said, “Don’t talk to him.”

“Why?”

“He still might be angry from what happened earlier.”

Rainbow looked at him as he glanced at her and look straight forward. She sighed, “You’re right, come on. Let’s save this school again.”

Danto and his friends went to a hill where on the top was a tree and climbed up and sat on the various branches.

“Testing.” A loud feedback from Rainbow was heard by them as they covered their ears.

Danto sighed. “What are we supposed to do? We won’t be able to see the finals until tonight.”

Clem yawned, “I don’t know about you guys, but I’m gonna hit the hay for a while.” he said as he closed his eyes.

El yawned, “Yeah, Let’s catch some zzz’s while we can. Maybe we’ll wake up when they start the finals.” he said closing his eyes and falling asleep.

Aldon did the same, leaving Danto laying on the branch looking up and thinking, ‘Maybe, this school wasn’t such a bad choice after all…’ he thought as he closed his eyes.

6:31 P.M.

They woke up to the sounds of barking right under them. When they looked down, it was a purple dog with distinctive green fur for ears, tail and on top of the head.

“Spike?” Aldon asked jumping down from the trees. “What are you doing here?”

“Twilight and her friends are in trouble.”

“What happened?”

“They were on stage setting up for the battle when Trixie and her friends opened a hatch and they all fell in.”

“And tell me, why should we care?” Danto said closing his eyes.

“Rainbow needs your help and-” Danto jumped from the trees and kneeled to Spike.

“Don't ever say that name again.” He said while clenching his teeth.

“Sorry for him. You remember right?”

“Oh yeah... Well, Celestia said that Trixie and the Illusions will play in substitution for the Rainbooms.”

“What?”

“Yeah and they’ll start the finals at 7:00.”

“It’s 6:35 now.”

“Come on.” Aldon said running to the school.

“Where are you going?”

“We got a school to save.” Aldon said as he and his friends went to go get their equipment.

“What about the Rainbooms?” Spike asked running to Aldon

“Find someone to help them.”

“But you just need to-”

“Spike listen, those 3 girls are going to take over the school, then the world. We’ll distract them until the Rainbooms get here. Trust me, we know what we’re up against.”

Spike nodded and ran off to find someone to free the Rainbooms and stop the Sirens once and for all.

Author's Note

The Shredders of Light are finished with the battle, or are they? All we can do now is wait until the Finals.
