The Friendship Games

He ran to the front of the school then went outside and was immediately shocked. He looked around, seeing portals opened to another world with Twilight turned into a sort of demon. He saw in the center seeing the student from both schools trying to help those who were about to fall into the portal. He saw his friends trying to help a few of the students as he ran to them. He grabbed the collar of El’s jacket and pulled him back, helping him and the student he was trying to save.

“Good thing you wear that.”

“Same here.”

“We can’t keep this up. We have to stop her.”

“How? Our instruments are back in the music room and we need to help the students around here.” Aldon then noticed Pinkie and Fluttershy glowing and realized what was about to happen.

“I think someone else has that covered.” He pointed at Sunset who was holding the device and aimed it at her friends, causing them to glow. They then got the idea as they decided to use this to get the students away from the portals and hid them underneath the bleachers.

“This isn't the way! I know you feel powerful right now, like you can have everything you want! I've been where you are, I've made the same mistake you're making! I put on a crown and, just like you, I was overwhelmed by the magic it contained! I thought it could get me everything I wanted!”

“Oh, you're wrong. Unlike you, I can have everything I want!”

“No, you can't. Even with all that magic and power, you'll still be alone! True magic comes from honesty! Loyalty! Laughter! Generosity! Kindness! I understand you, Twilight, and I want to show you the most important magic of all…” she threw the device to the ground, breaking it and releasing the magic within to herself. She then turned into a being of magic similar to Twilight as she spoke to her, “The magic of friendship.” Twilight looked at her in surprise as Sunset closed the portals except for the one in the center of the courtyard. Twilight growled then charged at Sunset as she did to her. They both threw a punch that caused a bright light to flash from the impact. They both back away and charged then fired a blast of energy to each other, making a stand off of power. Twilight started using more, causing Sunset to start losing. Spike then jumped out in the open and called out his owner.

“Twilight!” she looked down, seeing Spike looking at her scared. She then realized what she was doing as her eyes returned to normal.

“Spike…” This, however, caused Twilight to forget that she was attacking Sunset. She then used this moment to overpower Twilight’s energy with hers. “NOOO!!!” A very bright flash emitted in the area. After a few seconds, everything started returning back to normal with the portal in the center of the school disappeared. Sunset and Twilight returned in their regular form.

“I am so sorry... I didn't mean for any of this to happen…”

“I know. And going by my own experiences, they'll forgive you.” Sunset grabbed Twilight’s hand as she smiled. Spike barked then jumped at Twilight, holding her glasses as she laughed. Principal Cinch came out from the bleachers, looked around, and walked toward Principal Celestia with anger.

“Principal Celestia, on behalf of Crystal Prep, I demand that you forfeit the Friendship Games! Clearly, CHS has had unfair advantage for quite some time! And it's certainly obvious that your students have been using magic for their own benefit!”

“I'd like to think that saving the world benefits us all.”

“At least they didn't manipulate Twilight into releasing all the stolen magic and turning into a power-crazed magical creature that tried to rip the world apart just to win a game.” Everyone looked at Sugarcoat, surprised she summarized what happened a few minutes ago.

“Wow! That's a lot to take in when you say it all at once.”

“That's ridiculous!”

“Nope, that's pretty much what happened.” Sour Sweet then spoke in a sorrowful way to Twilight.

“Actually, we're all to blame.” She then spoke in a upset way and looked at Principal Cinch, “Mostly it was her.”

“Obviously my students have been infected with your magic, but I plan on taking all of this up with the school board!”

“Good. I'm sure they would be very interested in hearing all about the magical students with wings.”

“Oh, and the portals to different dimensions.”

“And don't forget to tell them about the talking dog.”

“Because that would never ruin your reputation.” Principal Cinch looked around, seeing the students from both schools looking at her to see what she’ll do next. She was about to snap when she simple fixed her shirt and walked away.

“Well, I know these Friendship Games haven't been what any of us expected, but given what we've all just been through, I think it's fair to declare us all winners.” Everyone from both schools cheered and Applejack threw her hat in the air from excitement. Aldon saw this chance as an opportunity. He quickly pulled Sunset to him and kissed her. She was surprised but accepted the kiss as their friends watched with joy.

“Told ya they’d do it.”

“Who said I didn’t believe you?”

“Good point.”
