Equestria Girls

It was a quiet Equestrian night, with the full moon and the stars all perfectly arranged by the Princess of the Night, with a castle looming over the city below.

In a secluded section of the castle, in a room which housed nothing but an ornate mirror, suddenly the reflective surface of the glass began shimmering, and a moment later, a pony emerged out of the mirror.

The pony was a unicorn mare, with an orange coat, and an orange and red mane, that kind of looked like bacon. This is Sunset Shimmer: former student of Princess Celestia.

Sunset had an evil grin on her face as she continued to walk forward. “Finally, I have returned to Equestria after all this time. Now I can finally put my evil plan into…” However, she started to lose momentum when she suddenly noticed something about where she was. “Wait, a minute, this doesn’t look like the Crystal Empire,” she said, noting the complete lack of crystals. Walking over to the open window and looking at the city outside, her suspicions were confirmed.

“This is Canterlot!” Sunset shouted out, stepping away from the window again. “The mirror is supposed to be in the Crystal Empire for my plan to work.” She said in annoyance. However, a moment later, she looked like she had a realisation. “Although, then again, the mirror has always been in Canterlot, and Celestia wouldn’t really have a reason to move it.”

She just shook her head, choosing not to focus on this hiccup in her plan. “That’s okay, I can work with this. Right now, I just need to get to the Crystal Empire.”

She then made her way out of the castle, sneaking past the guards as she did so, and made her way to the train station. “Okay, now Canterlot is located in the centre of Equestria, and the Crystal Empire is in the far north, so I’ll have to get the train there.”

She then walked up to the ticket office, but there was nopony there, because it was the middle of the night. Looking at the list of train times next to her, it said that the earliest train was at 06:00 a.m. Then looking at the clock on the wall, she saw that it was 02:00 a.m.

Letting out an annoyed sigh, she said, “It’s okay, I can work with this.” She then made her way over to a seat and sat down, waiting for time to pass. She started tapping her hoof against the floor, and looking around lazily, before she again let out an annoyed sigh.

Four hours later…

An earth pony who worked at the ticket office arrived for his shift, and stepped inside the ticket booth. Seeing him arrive, Sunset let out a sigh of relief this time. “Finally.” She then got up and walked over to him. “One ticket for the Crystal Empire.”

“Sure thing, Ma’am,” he replied, printing out a ticket. “That will be twelve bits.”

Sunset suddenly had another realisation.

“I don’t have any bits.”

The ticket officer gave her a sorrowful look in response. “Well then, I’m sorry, but I’m afraid I can’t give it to you.”

“Look,” Sunset began, putting both of her hooves on the counter between them. “I have something really important that I have to do and I need to get to the Crystal Empire quickly.”

The earth pony could hear the desperation in her voice, so he began tapping his hoof to his chin in thought. “Hmmm…”

One hour later…

The train sped along the tracks on the way to the Crystal Empire. Inside the train, Sunset Shimmer walked down the aisle, wearing a hat and apron, wheeling a cart in front of her.

“Can I get you anything?” She asked a couple sitting in a booth as she passed them.

“Nothing for me, thank you,” the mare responded.

“I’ll take a coffee, please,” the stallion asked.

“Coming right up,” Sunset said through gritted teeth, as she made his coffee, inwardly hoping that they would arrive at the Crystal Empire soon.

When the train finally did arrive, Sunset scurried off the train quickly and made her way to the palace in the centre of the Empire. “Alright, this took a lot longer than I anticipated, but I still made it. I can still work with this. Next, I need to sneak passed the guards and get inside the palace.”

While she then tried coming up with a plan to get inside, she saw a group of ponies simply walk passed the guards and into the palace, so she simply did the same.

Once inside the palace, she made her way towards Princess Twilight’s room, making sure that she wasn’t spotted as she did so. When she reached the Princess’ room, she gently pushed the door open, using her magic to muffle as much noise as possible.

Peering inside the room, Princess Twilight was still asleep in her bed, with her dragon assistant sleeping in a bed next to her, and sitting on the dresser next to her was Sunset’s goal: the Element of Magic, which was embedded in Twilight’s crown.

Grinning to herself, Sunset quietly made her way over towards it, careful not to wake either of the room’s inhabitants. When she was standing front of the crown, she looked down towards her saddlebag and levitated out a perfect physical copy of the crown, and swapped it out for the real thing.

When she was finished, she turned to leave; however, at that moment, Spike the Dragon turned over in his sleep, causing Sunset to step on his claw.

“Ouch!” Spike yelled, waking up, and also waking Twilight, who quickly noticed that Sunset was there, and that she had stolen her crown. “My crown! She stole my crown!”

When Sunset realised that her cover was blown, she quickly abandoned all notions of stealth and bolted out of the room.

As they were galloping down the palace hallways, Princess Twilight called out to all of her friends about the intruder who stole her crown, who all started joining in the chase.

“Okay, I can work with this.” Sunset said to herself as she ran away, trying her best to remain confident. “I’ve got the crown, now all I have to do is get back through the mirror and I’m home free…” However, her eyes then suddenly widened in realisation. “… which is currently on the other side of the country…”

Rainbow Dash then flew into her, tackling her to the ground.

“I got her!

When Sunset reached Princess Twilight’s room in the castle, she opened the door quietly and looked inside. Within, Princess Twilight and her dragon assistant were sleeping in their beds, and the crown that she was after lay on the dresser beside them.

Knowing that she had to remain quiet so that she wouldn’t be detected, she simply lit up her horn and levitated the crown over towards her, and then the fake crown over to replace it.

With her job done, she then left the room as quietly as she entered.

FFWD >>

Rainbow Dash was woken in the middle of the night by the sound of her friend, Twilight, calling for their help. Getting out of bed, she opened the door to her room, and saw Twilight running down the hallway.

“Twilight, what is it?” Rainbow asked.

“That pony stole my crown,” Twilight answered, pointing to a mysterious cloaked pony running away from them.

“I got her,” Rainbow said, with a fierce look of determination on her face. She then flew after the thief and pinned her to the ground in .2 seconds.

“Oh, yeah! Fastest pony in Equestria!” She said, pumping her hoof in the air.

FFWD >>

“I got her,” Rainbow said, with a fierce look of determination on her face. 0.2 seconds later, she crashed face-first into the ground after Sunset teleported out of the way.

“Oh, yeah. Strongest unicorn in Equestria,” Sunset said quietly to herself, with a smug grin on her face.

FFWD >>

“Looks like if I want my crown back, I’ll have to become Princess of the Canterlot High Fall Formal. So that’s what I’m gonna do!” Twilight Sparkle announced.

“And how exactly do you plan on doing that?” Spike the Dog asked her.

“… I have no idea.” She answered with a frozen smile on her face.

Suddenly, the door to Principal Celestia’s office opened out once again, but instead of Principal Celestia, Sunset Shimmer walked out triumphantly, spinning the crown in her fingers. “Hello, Princess Twilight,” she said snidely.

“Sunset Shimmer?” Twilight was agape that Sunset had the crown. “How did you get that?”

“Uhhmm, I stole it, just like I did before,” Sunset explained, like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

Twilight just blinked absentmindedly. “Uhhh…”

Sunset then raised the crown above her head. “I win,” she said as she put the crown on her head and began to transform.

FFWD >>

As the Fall Formal was underway, Principal Celestia walked on stage to announce the Princess. “First off, I wanna say how wonderful everything looks tonight. You all did a magnificent job pulling things together after the unfortunate events of earlier. And now, without further ado, I'd like to announce the winner of this year's Fall Formal crown. The Princess of this year's Fall Formal is...”

“Me,” Sunset Shimmer announced as she walked on stage.

“Actually, Sunset,” Principal Celestia began. “Twilight Sparkle is the winner of the Fall Formal Crown,” she said, half-way slipping back into her announcement and turning to face the audience as she did so.

“Actually, no, she didn’t.” Sunset stated. “Twilight Sparkle isn’t a registered student at this school, so therefore she can’t run for Princess, and since I’m the only one running, then that means that I win by default.” She said, with a smug grin on her face.

Principal Celestia gave Sunset a strange look, but at the same time, she knew that she was right. “Yes, I suppose that is the case. Very well then,” she continued, turning towards her sister, Luna, taking the crown from its chest, and then turning back towards Sunset once again. “The Princess of this year's Fall Formal is Sunset Shimmer,” she announced, placing the crown on her head.

As soon as the crown was placed on her head, however, the Element in it began transforming her into a demon.

“I win!” Sunset said, before using her new magic on the audience.

FFWD >>

“Give me the crown, and you can go back to Equestria tonight.” Sunset said to Twilight, as she stood next to the portal in the horse statue in front of the school. “Or keep it and never go home.” She said, lifting the sledgehammer up in preparation to destroy the portal.

The other girls all looked at Sunset with a look of horror that she would resort to something so cruel; however, Twilight simply smirked. “You know what, Sunset? Here, take it,” she said, taking off her crown and throwing it over to Sunset Shimmer. “I mean, what’s your plan? You’re going to invade Equestria with an army of mind controlled teenagers?”

Sunset was confused to say the least, but she was still able to drop the hammer and grab the crown in time. Looking back to Twilight, she then adopted a coy smirk of her own. “Actually, I’m going to invade Equestria with an army of mind controlled teenagers after I use my new magic to turn them all into demons, making each one of them a powerful enemy, and when Celestia gets ready to fight them, I’ll point out that they’re all being controlled and they’re all innocent, and then use her moment of hesitation to strike her down, which will destroy the pony’s morale, leading to my ultimate victory.”

Twilight’s confident expression started to drop after hearing Sunset’s plan, and then quickly turned to proper panic when she realised that she had just given her the means to do so. “Uhh...”

“I win,” Sunset said, putting the crown on her head, transforming into her demon form.

FFWD >>

But this is how it really should have ended…

Twilight galloped down the castle hallways, in hot pursuit of the mysterious intruder that had stolen her crown. As the intruder turned into a nearby room, Twilight quickly leapt and landed on top of the intruder. This caused the crown to fall from her grasp, rocket all around the room, before finally being flung into the mirror that was in the room; however, instead of cracking the glass on impact, the crown went through it as if it was wasn’t even there.

Twilight let out a gasp of surprise at this. “What did you do with my crown?” She demanded to know, getting muzzle to muzzle with the thief.

“Sorry it had to be this way…Princess,” Sunset responded in a mocking tone. She then quickly teleported over to the mirror, and with a quick mock salute in leaving, she leapt through the mirror.

On the other side of the mirror, Fluttershy was standing in front of the Canterlot High horse statue, handing out pamphlets in support of the local animal shelter. When nobody around her showed any interest in helping out, she slumped to the ground in disappointment.

Suddenly, she was smacked from behind by a heavy, metal object. Turning around to investigate, she saw that it was the Fall Formal crown. “What’s this doing here?” She said, reaching out to take hold of it.

All of a sudden, Sunset Shimmer appeared out of the statue. “I’ll be taking that,” she said to Fluttershy, grabbing the crown from her and putting it on her head. She was then engulfed in a magical aura as she began to transform.

“And so then I transformed into my demon form, brainwashed all of the students and turned them into demons, and conquered Equestria with my new army.” Sunset Shimmer (in her demon form) explained to everyone at the Villain Pub, who had gathered around to hear her story. “Without the Elements, they never even stood a chance.”

That earned a roar of celebration from the whole pub, who were listening to her tale.

“Oh, I do love it when a plan comes together like that,” Voldemort commented.

“I know right,” Sunset responded. “Hey, Barkeep.” She called Palpatine. “Can I get some service over here?”

“Sorry,” Palpatine said from behind the counter. “I may be a Sith Lord, but even I won’t serve minors.”

Sunset just rolled her eyes. “Typical.”

“So, Ms. Shimmer,” Suicide Squad Joker began. “You finally accomplished your plan that was years in the making. Tell me: was it worth it?”

“Well…” she began. “Yes. I mean, I finally proved to everyone that I’m the best, and I’m now the most powerful entity in Equestria, which I now rule as its Queen; I got everything I wanted, so what’s not to like?”

“Still,” Loki chimed in. “Do you ever wonder what might have happened if things had turned out differently?”

“Hmmm.” Sunset ‘hmmmed’, tilting her head to the side, in thought.

<-=======ooO Ooo=======->

“And so then I was blasted by the Elements, so I’m good now, the girls that I spent years bullying are my best friends, and everything turned out alright.” Sunset (in her human form) explained, as she sat in the booth at the Super Café, alongside Batman and Superman.

“So wait,” Superman spoke up. “You were just blasted by a rainbow and instantly had your entire personality changed to be good. I’m not sure I like the implications of that.”

“What?!” Sunset balked. “What implications? Everyone knows that there’s nothing wrong or unhealthy about instantly having your entire personality changed, especially when there’s an outside source making the change happen against your will. As long as you turn out good in the end, it’s perfectly fine, and definitely not a bad lesson to teach young minds.”

“I don’t know. I’m not sure if I’m comfortable with this.”

“Oh, you think about this too much,” Batman commented. “Speaking of which…” He then leaned in closer to Sunset. “Hey there, I’m Batman. You wanna know my secret identity?”

“She’s 16!” Superman loudly cut him off.

Batman quickly backpedalled. “Uhhh… I knew that.”

Superman raised an eyebrow. “You knew that and you still said it?”

Batman backpedalled even more. “I-I mean… I didn’t know that.”

Superman just let out a sigh. “Why do I put up with you?”

“BECAUSE I’M BATMAN!”

<-=======ooO Ooo=======->

Coming out of her imagine spot, she turned back towards the Joker. “No, not really.”

She then pushed out from the counter and stood up. “Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve recently detected several other sources of Equestrian magic in this world, so I’m going to get rid of them now before they can possibly become a threat to me later.”

“Have fun,” Joker said as she left the pub.

“I like her.”

It was late at night, approaching midnight, and inside of a local diner, all of the patrons were arguing loudly amongst each other, all except for three young women sitting in a booth at the back. The three of them all wore sweatshirts with their hoods up, and singing an enchanting tune, as a magical green mist flowed from the people arguing, into red gems that they wore on pendants around their necks.

“That was barely worth the effort, Adagio,” one of the girls said, taking off her hood, revealing long purple and green hair, held up in pigtails. “I’m tired of fast food. I need a meal.”

“The energy in this world isn't the same as in Equestria,” Adagio replied, pulling back her own hood, revealing a large head of orange, poufy hair, that looked like it shouldn’t have fit in her hood. “We can only gain so much power here.”

“Ugh!” The purple haired girl groaned. “I wish we'd never been banished to this awful place!”

“Really? I love it here!” Adagio drolled sarcastically.

“For realsies?” The third girl, who had blue hair worn in a ponytail, joined in, thinking that she was serious. “Because I think this place is the worst.”

“I think you’re the worst, Sonata!” The purple haired girl barked at the other girl’s idiocy.

“Oh, yeah? Well, I think you’re...”

“Ergh! I'll tell you one thing, being stuck here with you two isn't making this world any more bearable.” Adagio said through clenched teeth.

“But you know what’s even worse?” asked a mysterious voice from the booth behind them. Adagio then turned around and saw that it was Batman. “Talking about your evil plan in public where just anyone can hear you.”

“Hey, there,” Superman said, waving at them from behind Batman.

Adagio simply stood there, transfixed at the bright, rainbow light in the distance, knowing what it really meant, and she smiled mischievously. “Did you feel that?! Do you know what that is?” She asked, turning to her fellow sirens behind her.

The other two girls simply looked between each other for a moment before facing Adagio again. “I ‘unno.” Sonata drawled.

“It’s Equestrian magic!” Adagio revealed.

Aria just gave her a flat look in response. “But this world doesn’t have Equestrian magic.”

“It does now,” Adagio continued, turning back around once again. “And we're going to use it to make everyone in this pathetic little world adore us!”

After just standing there, menacingly for about a minute, Sonata suddenly spoke up. “So… are we gonna go over there now so that we can steal the magic?”

“Not yet,” Adagio answered her, turning around again. “First, we’ll wait a couple of weeks, and then we’ll infiltrate the school disguised as students, so that we can investigate and discover the source of the magic.”

Sonata, however, just raised an eyebrow in confusion. “But… the magic is right there,” she said, holding her hand out towards the rainbow light. “It’s right in front of us. We can just go take it right now.”

Adagio, however, just gave her a flat look, like she just said the stupidest thing ever. “Sonata, that’s not how we do things.”

“It’s really not a problem.” Sonata defended. “It’s literally only about a few feet away.”

“Hey, who’s the genius here?” Adagio asked.

“Good question.” The purple haired girl said, whilst absentmindedly looking at her nails.

“Quite, you!” Adagio retorted, pointing her finger at her, hard.

“Hey, I’m legitimately wondering. Aren’t you supposed to be the smart one here?”

“Ugghh,” Adagio groaned in annoyance. “You know what? Fine, we’ll go over there right now.” She relented. “Will that make you happy?”

“Yes,” Sonata said with an innocent smile.

Adagio just let out another annoyed sigh. “Alright then, fine, let’s go,” she said as they made their way towards the source of the magic.

Vinyl Scratch sat in the middle of the cafeteria, eating her lunch and listening to her music with her headphones on; the volume up so loud that she couldn’t hear anything else.

Suddenly looking up, she noticed a couple of girls across the cafeteria, dressed very seductively, dancing on the tables, giving some sort of performance… and the girl quickly raced over to them, with an excited smiled on her face. “Oh, cool. You must be the strippers I ordered.”

The sudden and unexpected outburst caused the orange girl – supposedly the leader – to halt in what she was doing.

“Uhhh, what?”

However, before she could continue, Vinyl cut her off. “But, you know, the surprise party I ordered you for is at my apartment later tonight. Also,” she raised her hand. “Tavi’s right there,” she said, pointing behind her hand in the direction of her girlfriend.

FFWD >>

The Dazzlings all watched from afar as Trixie pulled a leaver and opened up a trapdoor in the centre of the stage, trapping the Rainbooms below.

“See, all it took was a little push.” Adagio said with an evil grin on her face.

“She didn’t push them. She pulled a leaver.” Sonata said, ending with a blank look on her face.

The purple haired girl just let out a sigh at her stupidity. “Go back to sleep, Sonata.”

“Anyway,” Adagio continued. “Now that the Rainbooms are taken care of, we can now focus all of our efforts on our performance.” She then stopped for a moment as she considered something. “But first, I’ll set a guard outside of the stage entrance just to make sure that someone doesn’t come along and let them out, just to be safe.”

“Should we use somebody close to the group of friends for added irony?” The purple haired girl asked, while casually looking at her fingers.

“No, I’ll just use some random person so that there’s no chance of some bullshit friendship magic overriding our spell.”

FFWD >>

But this is how it really should have ended…

After Princess Twilight had arrived from Equestria, the seven girls all went to Sugarcube Corner, to get some pastries, and talk about a plan to deal with the sirens.

“Alright,” Sunset began. “We need to come up with a plan to defeat the sirens. Any ideas?”

Princess Twilight brought her clenched fist up to her chin in thought. “Hmmm, let me see. You said that they use singing to activate their magic to take control of other people, right?”

“That’s right,” Sunset confirmed.

“But their magic didn’t affect any of you?”

“No.”

“And this would be the first time that they’ve met someone that they couldn’t use their magic against, and they wouldn’t have any other way of defending themselves from threats so they wouldn’t have any way to deal with it…”

Sunset looked at Twilight quizzically. “Exactly what are you getting at, anyway?”

As Twilight continued her line of thinking, a plan started to form in her head. “I think I have an idea…”

Later…

Adagio, Sonata, and the purple haired girl were all gathered at the gymnasium, for the auditions for the Battle of the Bands.

Suddenly, the Rainbooms, Sunset Shimmer, and Princess Twilight showed up, pushed the three of them to the ground, and started kicking them, with the three of them being unable to resist.

“Oh, yeah!” Rainbow Dash announced mid-kick. “This is so much easier.”

“…and then they just beat us up?” Adagio explained to everyone, as she sat at the counter of the Villain Pub. “I mean, who does that?”

“Oh, heroes are so annoying.” General Zod spoke up from the back, still wearing his neck brace. “But hey, it could have been worse. At least they didn’t snap your neck.”

“So what happened then?” The Joker asked.

“Then they took our pendants and smashed them, so now we can never feed off of other people, or use our magic again.” Adagio continued.

“Yeah, about that,” Sonata chimed in. “So does that mean that we’re going to starve to death now, or what?”

“Yeah, that wasn’t really explained very well.” The purple haired girl mentioned offhandedly.

Adagio just let out a sigh of annoyance. “It’s just… I had all of these ingenious plans, and then they were all gone like that just because beat us up. It’s bullshit!”

“You know what I don’t get?” The Joker chimed in. “Your goal was to steal Equestrian magic, and you spent all that time at the school gathering information, but by that point, the portal to Equestria out front was common knowledge, and with Princess Twilight’s device now keeping it open, you all could have returned to Equestria at any time and just absorbed all the magic.”

In response, Adagio just started banging her head on the counter in front of her. “Okay, so clearly there were some things that we could have done better.” However, she then started to come back up again. “But do you know what we did right?”

“What?”

Adagio smiled. “Make the best My Little Pony movie ever.”

There was a moment of thought from all of the patrons of the Villain Pub. “Oh, yes, definitely,” they all agreed.

Friendship Games

The final event of the Friendship Games – which would decide the winner of the whole thing – was about to get underway. Principal Abacus Cinch of Crystal Prep was not happy that there was even a chance that her school might lose and be seen as anything less than perfect. She would not allow her (school’s) reputation to be tarnished, and would do anything to prevent that.

Having witnessed already what magic could do when she saw it earlier, she began to formulate a plan, and made her way over towards Twilight Sparkle, who would be competing for Crystal Prep in the final event.

“I’ve seen what your device can do, Twilight.” Cinch began. “Containing magical energy is fine, but have you considered releasing it?”

“I believe that that would be a very bad idea,” Twilight countered, adjusting her glasses as she did so. “According to my analysis, if I were to open the magic capture device now, the amount of energy released would simply transform me into a powerful magical entity.”

“Yes, but I...” Cinch began, but suddenly her eyes widened in realisation. “… wait, really?” Looking down at the magic capture device in Twilight’s hands, Cinch suddenly got new idea.

She then quickly grabbed the device out of Twilight’s hands, pushed her down, and began trying to pry the device open herself. Once she got the device open, all of the stored up magic inside of it began flowing into her, transforming her into a powerful magical entity, exactly as Twilight had predicted.

“Yes, ultimate power is mine!” The newly transformed Cinch announced as she began unleashing her new power on the frightened crowd.

Meanwhile, over at the Super Café, looking out the window, Superman noticed a bunch of strange lights in the sky. “Hey, what’s going on over there?” He asked.

“Hmmm,” Batman looked up while drinking his coffee. “Oh, another crazy demon lady is trying to take over the world with magic at Canterlot High again.” He said nonchalantly.

“Really? Again?” Superman asked before letting out a sigh. “Excuse me, I’ll be right back.” He said as he stood up and walked out.

As he left, Batman simply took another drink of his hot coffee, while outside, Superman flew around the world at ultra-high speeds to turn back time.

“Yes, but I...” Cinch began, but suddenly her eyes widened in realisation. “… wait, really?” Looking down at the magic capture device in Twilight’s hands, Cinch suddenly got new idea.

She then quickly grabbed the device out of Twilight’s hands… only to have it quickly snatched out of her own hand.

“I’ll take that.” Superman said, holding the magic capture device in his hand.

Twilight Sparkle had been called into the principal’s office in order to discuss her entering the Friendship Games.

“So…” Twilight began. “… basically, you’re blackmailing me to make me enter the Friendship Games or else you’ll make it so that I never get into college?” She quickly summed up the gist of their conversation.

Principal Cinch simply smirked. “I suppose,” she said smugly, using her finger to slide the sign-up form towards her.

“You do realise that I can just report you to the school board for your unethical breach of conduct?” Twilight responded with, immediately pushing the sign-up form back towards her. “Plus, I have my brother – a famous alumni – and his girlfriend – the dean – here as witnesses to the whole thing.”

Behind her, Shining Armor suddenly looked embarrassed. “Errr, what? Girlfriend?” He laughed nervously. “Come on, Twily. Who said anything about girlfriends? Heh, heh. That’s crazy.”

Next to him, Cadance just rolled her eyes at his dorky attitude.

FFWD >>

The archery competition of the Friendship Games was up next, so Principal Cinch walked up to Twilight to tell her her plan.

“Twilight, I was going to put you in the archery competition, but then I quickly realised that your talents are more intellectual than physical, so I’ll just go ahead and use literally anyone else.”

“Good call.” Twilight responded.

FFWD >>

After transforming into Midnight Sparkle, she had quickly begun tearing down the walls between worlds, creating portals to Equestria so that she could have access to all of its magic.

Among all of this chaos, students of both Canterlot High and Crystal Prep were running around in a frenzy.

“Look out!” Sunset yelled out in worry.

“KAMEHAMEHA!” A voice from above screamed out, and suddenly Midnight Sparkle was slammed by a giant blue beam of energy.

Suddenly, a new figure appeared on the scene. He was a young man, about the same age as the students, wearing an orange Gi. He had short, black hair, with one bang hanging out to the front.

Sunset blinked in confusion. “Uhhh… what?”

“Oh, my name’s Gohan.” The new figure began, introducing himself. “You see, back in Equestria, Starlight Glimmer used time travel to make it so that Twilight and her friends never got their cutie marks, so that made it so that I’m a student at Canterlot High, I know about Equestria…” His hair then suddenly turned blue. “… and also I’m now Super Saiyan Blue.”

Sunset blinked at that explanation. “That… doesn’t make any sense.”

Gohan just glanced to the side for a second. “Makes about as much sense as any of the other alternate timelines.” He rationalised.

“No, I mean you being Super Saiyan Blue.” Rainbow Dash retorted.

“Oooohhhh!” A looping crowd of black teenagers suddenly broke out in a wave.

FFWD >>

But this is how it really should have ended…

The Canterlot High gymnasium was starting to break out into a rioting frenzy, with five pairs of girls from each school, whose personalities were very similar to each other each got up into each other’s faces as the main source of it all.

“Stop!” Sunset Shimmer suddenly yelled out above the crowd. Once everyone had stopped and had their full attention on her, she continued.

“Can’t you all see just how stupid all of this fighting is? This isn’t some sort of magical duel for the fate of the world, or something which will determine your entire life’s direction. This is just a friendly series of games between two high schools. Is it really worth all of this trouble?

“Plus, this is called the Friendship Games. Shouldn’t this just be a fun little get together, where we play sports, have fun… and make new friends?”

All of the other students, from both schools, suddenly realised just how things were after hearing Sunset’s speech.

“She’s right.” The girl with pigtails said, adjusting her glasses. “All of us are acting really stupid.”

Twilight then stepped forward and smiled. “How about we just put aside all of this silly, competitive nature, forget about all the animosity between our schools, and just have some good, clean, friendship fun.”

“Yeah!” Everyone yelled out.
