Canterlot Stadium: Canterlot High Wondercolts vs Crystal Prep Shadowbolts

The match had only just begun and already the Wondercolts were taking the lead having scored a goal thanks to the powerful and skilled leg work of their captain Rainbow Dash. In order to 'even the playing field' a certain bystander had decided to give the Shadowbolts an extra boost with some magical juicing. As a result of this the Shadowbolts now under Discord's magic curse now had enhanced speed, strength and a sense of unity that allowed them to function like a well oiled machine, they moved in sync and it was made very clear that something was wrong when Indigo Zap snatched up the ball with her feet and kicked it so hard and fast that he broke the leg of one of their best strikers Hot Shot and knocked out their goalie Stronghold in one shot.

Rainbow and the crowd looked on in wide eyed horror but then the crowd...began to cheer. The anarchy was fresh in the air and they craved for more and if one paid attention they would notice the green miasma all of which was leaking around the stadium and upward towards the nosebleeds, fueling Discord's magic pen and creating more chaos and strife that would hype up the crowd. Most of which who were now blind with sports rage, the kind that made people act like idiots and throw insults and if left unchecked would escalate into people throwing punches. Obviously the first ones to notice something was wrong were the Rainbooms, Sunset quickly gaining a concerned look on her face having seen this once before.

"Oh no...This is bad; very bad...I thought their magic was gone?!" Sunset began to panic slightly.

"What do you mean Sunset? Whats going on?" Twilight asked getting kind of scared as people started getting more and more unruly.

"You remember when I told you about the sirens we defeated?" Sunset asked making sure she kept her friends close by.

"The sirens from your world right?" Twilight asked in return.

"Yeah, this is exactly what they did back at our school, only difference is there is no singing this time so that may rule them out but the magic in this world has been becoming more unstable and unpredictable so who knows what they might be capable of now?" Sunset said scanning the bleachers in hopes to see possibly some sign of the sirens if this was in fact their doing.

"What should we do? It's not like we can just sing a song and break the spell again...Can we?" Fluttershy asked timidly wondering how they could help calm people down so no one got hurt.

"Actually that isn't a bad idea; we were supposed to play a song at half time anyway remember? Looks like we might have to start up a little earlier than expected. Twilight, call Vinyl and tell her to get here with the Rain-bus ASAP. We are gonna need all the help we can get here"

"On it Sunset!" Twilight pulled out her phone and dialed Vinyl's number and thankfully was able to get her on the line quickly. "Vinyl? Yeah we need your help! Yes like big time help! We need you to get and Rain-Bus and bring it to the stadium ahead of schedule! We've got a magic problem that we believe a song might solve but we have to hurry! Alright see you then" Twilight said hanging up with Vinyl and then turned to Sunset. "She said she will be here in 15 minutes"

"Alright we will have to sit tight and hope Rainbow and Applejack can pull through until then-" Sunset said as she then witnessed another one of the Wondercolts go down after this time a speed shot from lightning dust, she had kicked the ball with such speed and force that the ball was actually conducting electricity. "-Oh at the very least call an ambulance and help tend to the injured."

"On it!" Fluttershy and Pinkie said as they left their seats on the sidelines near the field and went over to help their fallen classmates and Sunset went over to coach ironwill who was very much panicking.

"This.Is.BAD! How in the Hell did they kick up this much?! What in the Hell is goin' on here!?"

"Magic..." Sunset said begrudgingly

"Of course...this is all YOUR doing ain't it?" Ironwill implied, he never trusted Sunset not before her redemption and not after even with all the times she had saved them.

"Eat a dick Ironwill I'm in no mood for your crap right now! I'm trying to help Rainbow and Applejack and by extension your damn team not get sent to intensive care and bring home that trophy; so shut up , give me that play book and call a timeout!" Sunset snapped and held out her hand as if demanding he give her what she wanted. She didn't like dipping into the reserves of her nastiness but she would gladly do so when people were in danger and right now she was in no mood for Ironwill trying to frame her for something she didn't do.

Ironwill had no witty retort, no snide remark, no gruff reply that involved flexing a whole lot. He simply handed over the playbook to Sunset Shimmer and walked off to get a water. He knew better than to incur the young woman's wrath and knew full well that the principal and vice principal would defend her no matter what and so he simply stepped aside and let the expert in magic handle it like it was none of his business. Blowing his whistle he called for a timeout which the ref granted, both teams would rush back to their sides and medics would come to tend to the wounded. Fluttershy having traded her cheerleader costume for a nurse costume to help aid alongside Nurse Redheart.

"Smart man; now lets see here, alright these plays are good but they need some tweaking and given what we are dealing with? There is only one way to even the playing field...Dash! AJ! Front and center!" Sunset shouted out calling her friends forward, both of them coming up quickly after checking on those who had been hurt.

"This doesn't make any sense! Lightning is no where NEAR that fast normally!" Rainbow stated, her temper clearly rising.

"And ah know full well that Indigo ain't got that kinda power in her legs, girl is strong but not THAT strong..." Applejack said and then looked at Dash and then they both looked at Sunset.

"Magic?" They asked.

"Magic" Sunset confirmed.

"Alright so whats the play her Sunset? We signed a contract this season that says we aren't allowed to use our powers in any way shape or form." Rainbow reminded Sunset of the form Ironwill forced them to sign.

"The game has changed Rainbow; we don't know where this magic came from but we know its somewhere in this stadium and we have to find it fast. I feel the best way to solve this right now is for you girls to win and without your powers? That isn't happening, so to Hell with the contract. Power up, pony up and kick their asses up and down this field!" Sunset encouraged her two friends to stop holding back as much as they have due to an obligations.

Grinning to one another Applejack and Rainbow Dash were happy to have been given the okay but then remembered that they were down two players and that would put a big dent in her offense and defense. Luckily for them they had Rarity and Pinkie Pie who could aid in both, Pinkie with her explosive striking power would help their offense and Rarity with her crystal shields would be the ultimate defense. Turning to the girls in question Rainbow went to Pinkie.

"Yo Pinks, we need you to help bring the boom!" Rainbow tossed Pinkie a back-up uniform.

"Care ta help us out here sugarcube?" Applejack asked to Rarity handing her the goalie gear.

"Very well but I refuse to wear that sweaty attire." Rarity snapped her fingers and using her crystal powers formed pads made out of crystals around her body as to protect herself from any shots the other team might make. "Let us bring home the gold ladies!" Rarity proclaimed as she took her place in front of the goal.

"Time for the kick up!" Pinkie shouted as she rushed onto the field, putting her hair into two big puffy puns and began to bounce and balance the ball on her knee repeatedly.

"You losers don't stand a shadow of a chance!" Shouted out Lightning Dust.

"Ohohoh so we're doing puns now? Well I guess its time you got to tasting the rainbow!" Rainbow said very shamelessly not caring how toxic that pun was.

Indigo Zap gagged and stuck out her tongue. "Burgh I actually just threw up in my mouth a little that was so bad"

"Bite me! We're done goin' easy on you! Get ready cause the Wondercolts are about to buck you!" Rainbow said with a triumphant smirk feeling very proud of that pun.

"I am gonna kick that ball in your stupid mouth!" Lightning Dust snapped.

"ohoho triggered much? Don't blink!" Rainbow smirked as her hair began to crackle with electrical energy of a rainbow hue and she dashed forward at high speed leaving a rainbow coattail behind her signalling she had activated her powers and she zoomed toward lightning dust but lightning managed to match her in speed and while to each other they seemed to be going normal speed but to everyone else they were nothing but a set of different color blurs that clashed a couple of times across the field. Rainbow then managed to get the ball into the air and launched it at Applejack; whom using her super strength she leaped into the air and spun and kicked the ball hard as she could and the resulting impact gave off a resounding BOOM! and it rocketed into the goal right passed the Shadowbolts goalie.

Wondercolts: 2 / Shadowbolts: 2

"Game on!" Rainbow said as her rainbow aura began to radiate more than usual and she kept her triumphant and confident grin on her face.

"Hohoh niiiiice shot kiddo...hm looks like I'm not the only one who has a gift for the strange." Discord stated looking to see what Rainbow just did and smirked deviously. "This is gonna be one helluva game."

It was now not just Wondercolts vs Shadowbolts but Rainbooms vs Shadowbolts and this was a match that had many different forms. The Rainbooms and the Shadowbolts all were friends, each of them had things about each other they liked but even though that was the case they still had a rival element to their friendship even as close as it was now in their senior year of High School.

The rivalry was mostly between Rainbow and Indigo but the other Shadowbolts were just as competitive when they wanted to be with each of the Shadowbolts having something they attempted and sometimes succeeded in outdoing the Rainbooms in. Between Rainbow and Indigo it was usually sports, Fluttershy and Sour Sweet it was usually related to animals or art, Pinkie and Lemon Zest often tried to see who could throw the best party, Rarity and Sunny Flare had weekly shopping matches to see who could get the better sales at the mall, Applejack and Sugarcoat often had eating competitions to see who was the better cook. That left Twilight and Sunset who had rivals in the two newest members of the Shadowbolts; Moon Dancer and Starlight Glimmer; whom much to Sunset's surprise were cousins in this world who had transferred to CPA together at the beginning of this school year.

Starlight was in the beginning very much stuck in the old Shadowbolt way, she was greedy, cruel, spiteful and only cared about winning and begin above everyone else under the false guise of equality. When Sunset had first met her when the other Shadowbolts had come to her with concerns about the girl Sunset instantly was reminded of her old self; it was like looking in a warped mirror and the part that made it really weird was that she knew pony Starlight Glimmer and she was NOTHING like how human Starlight used to be. She was smart too, able to match Sunset and Twilight in brains and while she looked very unassuming she was actually very good at sports but she wasn't apart of the soccer team; she was more into music and the arts however that gave Sunset a run for her money as well as Twilight because Starlight also played the guitar and she was a master at chess.

As for Moon Dancer? It was hard to believe she wasn't like a clone of Twilight Sparkle or her sister from another mother because they looked almost exactly alike, acted almost exactly alike, had the same hair style and in terms of intelligence they were literally neck and neck however Moon Dancer will have a bit more knowledge when it came to astronomy but Twilight was able to match that knowledge and learn what she didn't know very quickly and she was actually good friends with Moon Dancer and they often studied together so their friendship among the shadowbolts and rainbooms was the most natural and the least rooted in competition.

The one big thing the Rainbooms had over the Shadowbolts was their use of magic but now the game had changed. Now both sides had access to magic that enhanced their physical abilities and it was more like a magical duel than a soccer match now. A good 13 minutes had passed by and each team had gone score for score with each team scoring right after the other one now leaving the scores tied at 15 each. The field was now damaged with holes and craters in various spots and the only other players standing on each side were the ones who had magic but clearly they were running low on energy, with Rainbow Dash panting more than she ever had been seen during one of these matches.

"Just hold out for one more goal girls! Vinyl should be here in just a few minutes" Sunset called out from the sidelines helping the wounded on the ground.

"You can do it Dashie!" Fluttershy encouraged from the sidelines as well still clad in her nurse outfit.

"How ya holdin' up AJ?" Rainbow said in short breaths.

"Holdin' on as much as ah can; you alright Pinkie?" Applejack asked Pinkie Pie.

"I'm okie dokie! How about you Rarity? You okay!?"

"Doing quite fine but lets us please finish this up, I'm not sure how much more I can block" Rarity replied as she moved her now messy hair out of her face and tried her best to keep her crystal magic up but it had taken a massive toll on her stamina.

"You heard the diva; time to go for the killing blow." Rainbow said spitting on the ground and chuckled thinking of just the move to use to try and wrap this up. She had a few special combo moves for situations like this and while she hadn't taken magic into account for most of them the one she had in mind? She had practiced with Applejack and Pinkie a couple of times and now it was about time for it to make its debut.

"AJ...Pinks...It's time to hit em with a Rainbow Blitz" Rainbow said as she looked to her fellow players.

"Ya sure?" Applejack asked with caution

"Totally" Rainbow affirmed quickly showing she was indeed sure and very serious.

"Well alright then; Pinkie? Ya know what ta do." Applejack said to her cousin.

"On it AJ!" Pinkie said getting a running start as she headed for the ball and stole it away from Cloud Kicker and using her powers each kick to the ball charged it with sparkling pink energy. Once it was glowing enough, Pinkie bounced it off the ground and spin kicked it in the air in Applejack's direction. The ball spun rapidly toward the farmer right above her and then she jumped up and charged as much of her strength as she could into her left leg and slammed her foot into the side of the ball sending it blasting toward rainbow dash who using her super speed managed to keep up with the ball as he bolted down field and she then jumped into the air and spun rapidly and rainbow lightning clung to her right leg and foot and then connected with the ball sending it flying faster with a rainbow coattail attached to the ball as it blurred its way down the field with the ball crashing right into their tank of a goalie who looked like a female version of bulk biceps and knocking her out cold after exploding in a flurry of confetti and sprinkles.

However the goalie wasn't the only one to suffer a damaging blow as after that kick Rainbow felt to the ground and her foot was dislocated with how much force she put into that kick and the recoil from how much power was already behind it thanks to Pinkie and Applejack.

"Gyah!!!! Fuck!!! M-My foot!!! Aaargh!" Rainbow howled out in pain clutching her broken foot thrashing in pain on the ground.

"Rainbow!!!" Fluttershy rushed out faster than anyone had ever seen her run before to attempt to help her and knelt down by her side and checked out her foot, touching it only slightly she jerked her hand away when she saw Rainbow wince really hard in pain. "Oh no its broken, really badly; we need to get you patched up!" Fluttershy said grabbing Rainbow and with strength no one thought her capable she hoisted the athlete up into her arms and due to her high feeling of kindness she sprouted her Pegasus wings and flew up the bleachers where it was safer and began to treat Rainbow as best she could.

"Dammit Vinyl where in the Hell are-"

Before Sunset could finish her sentence Vinyl Scratch came barreling onto the field in their fixed up band bus that would also double as their tour bus when they would go do shows around town and in different towns. Honking the horn which sounded like a very familiar melody from a little girls cartoon Vinyl made a quick stop on the sidelines making sure not to hit any of the players and announced over the intercom of the bus before opening the doors.

"DON'T WORRY! IT'S ALRIGHT NOW BECAUSE....I AM HERE!" Vinyl proclaimed proudly as she jumped off the bus.

"Thank Celestia you're here!" Sunset announced now very happy to see Vinyl

"That is still so weird to hear you say but that ain't the point now! It's half time and that means its time to let the Rainbow Rock!" Vinyl said looking over to see Rainbow Dash had taken a hit to the leg. "Uh is she gonna be alright?"

"I'll be fine; I don't gotta stand to rock out; I'm not gonna leave my team to handle my light work!" Rainbow said as she tried to get up, her fierce loyalty bringing her Pegasus wings out and she used them to fly and stay off her leg. "Broken foot or not I will always rock out for my friends! Now c'mon and lets rock the roof off this place!" Rainbow Dash said with a smile as she flew out to the field and grabbed her guitar which was tossed to her by Vinyl Scratch.

"C'mon girls! Show time!" Sunset affirmed going to grab her guitar now.

"Time ta bring it on home ya'll" Applejack said grabbing her base.

"Time to pump up the jams!" Pinkie said setting up her drums at breakneck speed.

"You meanies hurt Dashie! It's ON now!" Fluttershy said taking off her nurse cap and tossing it to the ground as she grabbed her tambourine.

"Finally I can stop being a target and put on a real show!" Rarity said leaving the goal and grabbing her keytar.

"Lets go Wondercolts!" Twilight said with new found optimism as she grabbed her microphone.

"Oh now this is interesting...so there are more of them hm?" Discord said still observing the seven girls though out of all of them the ones he took the most interest in were Sunset Shimmer, Twilight Sparkle and Fluttershy. He had a good eye for chaos and he could tell these girls had more chaotic nature in them than they let people believe and he had full intent to bring those chaotic tendencies to the surface.

"You girls ready to roll?" Rainbow called out ready to shred on her guitar

"LETS ROCK!" The other rainbooms announced proudly as they got ready to win the day with a new song.

"ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR...!" Rainbow shouted as she and Sunset began to hype up the first few cords of the song on their guitars before rainbow slammed her fingers and pick onto the cords beginning the song in full as Pinkie beat hard on the drums.

[Rainbow]
How many times are you gonna try to shut me out?
I told you once, told you twice, I ain't gonna turn back around
You can say whatever, try to mess with me
I don't care, I'm not scared

[Sunset]
You don't have to say your sorry, save your sympathy
With a friend like you, I don't need an enemy
I would give you time if you were worth it
But guess what, you're not worth it

[The Rainbooms]
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, I'm always gonna be the last one standing
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, 'cause I'm never gonna give up trying
And now I'm ready to go, I'm here, I'm waiting for you
And I'm gonna be the last one standing
The last one standing

[Twilight]
Did you think that I would surrender easily?
Just like that, you were getting rid of me
Is that the way you saw it all go down?
I don't think, I don't think so

[Sunset]
There's not a word you can say I haven't heard before
So give it up, give it up unless you want a little more
You think you're pretty tough, so let's throw down
It's alright, I'm alright

[Rainbooms]
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, I'm always gonna be the last one standing
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, 'cause I'm never gonna give up trying
And now I'm ready to go, I'm here, I'm waiting for you
And I'm gonna be the last one standing

[Rainbow, Sunset & Twilight]
I won't give up, I keep trying
(I'm always gonna be the last one standing)
It's not over, I keep fighting
(I'm always gonna be the last one standing)
I won't give up, I keep trying
(I'm always gonna be the last one standing)
It's not over, I keep fighting
I keep fighting!

[Rainbooms]
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, I'm always gonna be the last one standing
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, 'cause I'm never gonna give up trying
And now I'm ready to go, I'm here, I'm waiting for you
And I'm gonna be the last one standing
And I'm gonna be the last one standing

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, the last one standing!!!!
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, the last one standing!!!!

The song had rocked the entire stadium, each of the rainbooms had pony'd up and sung and rocked their pure lighted hearts out. The ones who did all the singing managed to reach the ears of everyone in the bleachers and the ones who purely played instruments had done a perfect job maintaining the rocking melody. When the song had come to a close it ended with a large explosion of rainbow light that drained away the green mist that blanketed the arena and instead a light pink mist covered the area and everyone cheered and clapped at their performance much to the glee of the rainbooms but much to the annoyance and rage to the master of chaos who'd huffed in anger that his fun little chaos game got ruined by a gang of teenagers.

"So they plan to keep the harmony huh? Alright kiddies...game on." He narrowed his eyes dangerously at them and plotted how he could incite more chaos not just among the city but among them. Leaving the bleachers and slinking into the dark parts of the stadium he merely chuckled as he gave thought to all the ways he could seed discord among these new agents of harmony who dared to try and ruin his chaotic cleansing.

Author's Note

I have wanted to use this song for a fic for SO LONG and I finally have an excuse! Discord doesn't like having his fun ruined and hes only gonna get crazier trying to get his way. Also it would appear magic doesn't automacially make your body safe from harm...well duh! I based this concept on how Deku's drawback works in Boku No Hero. Get ready for the training arc and to meet their trainer!
