Mystery of the Sudden Battle of the Band

Sunset is leading the four new students around the school showing them where each classroom is, where they can find the bathrooms, and telling them a little history of how this school was founded.

“That's the science lab. Computer lab is in there.” Sunset pointed at each room.

“I got to admit, your school seems more colorful than my old one.” Shadow commented.

“Thanks, Canterlot High is a place where everyone can find friends and be themselves, though sometimes it’s hard to make friends at firest.” Sunset said.

“I can understand that.” Shadow nodded.

Sunset spotted a poster of the Canterlot High’s Musical Showcase and felt like telling the four new students about if they’re interested.

“Oh, we're having a big musical showcase this weekend! The whole school is pretty much rallying around it.” Sunset informed.

“A musical showcase?” Adagio interested as her sisters are too.

“That kind of music?” Shadow asked curious.

“All kinds, I'm sure since you're new, Principal Celestia would let you sign up if you're interested.” Sunset said.

“We have been known to sing from time to time.” Aria bragged.

“Hello? We sing, like, all the time! It's how we get people to do what we want.” Sonata blurted confusing Sunset and Shadow as Adagio growls at her a little with her hand motion across her throat.

“Wha-What did I say?” Sonata confused.

“So, you girls are one the poplar kids who shows off your talent and people just praise for it?” Shadow asked.

Sonata started to realize that she almost revealed the Dazzlings’ secret and quickly went with Shadow’s thoughts on it.

“Y-Yeah, that’s what I totally meant to say. Our singing is so talented and special, people would just do anything to get on our good side.” Sonata smiled nervous hoping Shadow would buy the lie.

“…Whatever, just as long as you three don’t go all braty on me.” Shadow shrugged, the Dazzlings sigh in relief that he brought it. Or at least that’s Shadow wants them to think he can already tell those girls are hiding something.

“Can you at least try to not make yourself the worst?” Aria asked sarcastically.

“I’m not the worst, you are!” Sonata talked back as the two glared at each other.

“You'll have to excuse them. They're idiots.” Adagio annoyed of her young sisters’ argument as they look away from each other.

“At least you girls aren’t like the ones back home, most of the girls there would be annoying around me like the flame for the moths.” Shadow mentioned.

“That sounds like you have fangirls.” Sonata guessed.

“And I hated that.” Shadow said.

“You don’t like the attention much, do you?” Aria asked.

“Nope, but it just happens to me sometimes.” Shadow said as he walks a little then got bump into someone carrying three boxes.

“Oops, sorry about that, dude.” A guy apologized.

He has blue and matching eyes with pale grayish amber skin. He wears a black jacket with a single red and white stripe with a white shirt underneath; it bears a blue shield with a lightning bolt in front, blue jeans and black shoes.

“Flash, what are you doing with those boxes?” Sunset asked the guy who is named Flash.

“I was helping Micro Chip with a few things and wanted me to move these boxes to the stage for the musical showcase.” Flash explained and look to the black wearing guy.

“I’m Flash Sentry, again sorry about that.” Flash introduced himself as he expanded his hand to him.

“Shadow Joestar. No problem, just make sure you be careful of how much you’re carrying.” Shadow advised as the two stand up.

“I take it they’re the new students here?” Flash asked Sunset as he stack the three boxes on top of each other.

“Yep, you already met Shadow and these girls call themselves the Dazzlings.” Sunset gestured to the three girls and notice their red shiny pendants.

“Those are pretty. Where did you” Sunset tried to reach for the pendant on Adagio, but the puffy sexy girl quickly grabbed Sunset’s hand with anger in her eyes. Adagio quickly calm herself down and let go of Sunset’s arm.

“Sorry. These pendants mean an awful lot to us. We'd just hate for anything to happen to them.” Adagio explained before the Dazzlings walk away.

“So, does that mean the tour is over?” Shadow asked Sunset.

“Uh, yeah, I believe I’ve showed you everywhere.” Sunset answered.

“Well, it looks like I have free period right now and then it’s lunch time.” Shadow looked at his schedule of the school.

“Cool, maybe you and I can hang out sometime.” Flash offered his hand of friendship to Shadow.

“Sure, I guess that would be fine.” Shadow accepted shaking hands with Flash.

Then suddenly the two felt a strong instant feeling between the two boys and they let go.

“Okay, I’m gonna get going. See you later, Sunset.” Flash carried the boxes and headed off to the backstage.

“Well, I’m gonna go see the Principal, I promised my mom I say hi to her and the Vice-Principal for her.” Shadow said.

“Wait, your mom knows Principal Celestia and Vice-Principal Luna?” Sunset asked shock.

“Yeah, apparently they were friends when my mom grew up in this town until she had to move to Japan years ago before coming back here last week.” Shadow explained.

“Wow, I bet they’ll be excited to meet their old friend’s son.” Sunset excited.

“Maybe, I never met them before. I’ll be seeing you in lunch.” Shadow walked away and wave his hand a little.

“(Strange, the moment I touch Flash’s hand it was like I feel the same energy I have. Could it be he’s a Stand User too?)” Shadow thought asked himself but decided to worry about that later and went off to the Principal’s office.

Shadow looks around for a bit and found the door that label “Principal Celestia and Vice-Principal Luna’s Office” meaning this is the right place. He knocks on the door a few times and waited for a second.

“Come in!” A woman called out.

Shadow enters the office seeing a woman standing near her desk putting some papers together.

The woman has light pink gray, rainbow-like hair of pink, dark-blue, pale-green, and sky-blue as her eyes are moderate heliotrope. She wears a long purple pant, gold-like high-heel shoes, and gold-yellow jacket that the top part is showing the half-top of her breasts exposes. Breasts sizes: K-cup.

“Principal Celestia, I’m Shadow Joestar, one of the new students who just arrived.” Shadow informed.

“Hello, I wasn’t expecting you to come see me so soon consider it’s your first day here.” Celestia said.

“I’m just here to say hi to you for my mom.” Shadow explained.

“Oh, how sweet. Luna, come in, Yuki’s son is here.” Celestia called out to the room.

“Coming.” The woman named Luna responded and walk out of her office.

Luna seems to be around the same age as Celestia though like her, looks younger. She has light bluish gray skin, blue and pale purple hair, wears volant shirt with a white collar, dark blue pants, and white shoes. Breasts sizes: J-cup.

“So, You’re Yuki’s Joestar’s son, correct?” Luna asked in a little serious tone.

“That’s me, Shadow Joestar.” Shadow introduced himself and giving Luna his intense stare.

“I see you got your mother’s strong spirit and your father’s eyes. Let’s hope you’ll cause less trouble than Yuki did when she was a student here.” Luna mentioned.

“By the way, we heard about father twice through her letters, is he here too?” Celestia asked.

“No, he died when I was two.” Shadow answered with his eyes being shadowed by his hat.

“Oh, I’m so sorry, we never heard any word from Yuki after her last letter.” Celestia apologized feeling sad for her friend loving her love one.

“It’s fine, we’ve been doing fine on our own so far and now we’re here.” Shadow stated.

“Just be sure you aren’t planning anything that would disrupt the peace we have at this school otherwise you may find yourself in detention.” Luna advised Shadow to behave on school ground.

“I can’t promise you that, bizarre things have been happening around me.” Shadow smirked before placing a little piece of paper on Celestia’s desk.

“Here’s the address of the house we moved into, I’m sure she’ll be thrill to have you two visit her.” Shadow said before walking to the door.

“Tell her we’ll be looking forward to seeing her again!” Celestia said.

“Sure.” Shadow shrugged before leaving the office.

“Something tells me we should keep an eye on that boy.” Luna suggested.

“Oh, Luna, I’m sure he’ll bring more excitement to this school like how Yuki once did.” Celestia assured.

“That’s exactly what I’m afraid.” Luna sighed.

(Lunchtime)

Shadow is walking around the cafeteria after getting his lunch from the line trying to find an open spot to sit at, then he Flash sitting with two guys seems to be his friends and thought he wouldn’t mind sitting with them.

“Hey, Flash.” Shadow walked up to him.

“Shadow, how’s your first day here so far?” Flash asked.

“Doing good, I guess. Mind if I sit here?” Shadow asked.

“Sure, go right ahead.” Flash offered him a chair.

“Shadow, these are my two friends. Micro Chip and Sandalwood.” Flash introduced them.

“Greetings.” Micro Chip said.

“What’s up, dude!” Sandalwood greeted in a hippie way.

“Hey Flash, you know Sunset, right?” Shadow asked curious.

“Oh, yeah, well… we used to date.” Flash confessed.

“It didn’t go well.” Shadow guessed.

“I found out Sunset was doing mean things to everyone in the school back then, but I can promise you she’s a changed woman and with great friends helping her out.” Flash pointed at the table where Sunset is with her friends.

“Sunset is really working hard to earn everyone’s trust, though it’s been hard with what happened at the Fall Formal weeks ago.” Flash said looking a little sad.

“You sure care for her a lot.” Shadow noticed how Flash is speaking about Sunset.

“That’s because he does even though he broke up with her, he’s trying to put in some good words for her to everyone in the school.” Sandalwood explained.

“But so far, only 8% of the school believes Sunset is good now and the rest still thinks she’s the mean girl who tried to rule the school.” Micro Chip mentioned.

“Ouch.” Shadow commented.

“Don’t worry, I’m sure everyone will soon accept Sunset’s good side.” Flash believed.

Then the Dazzlings came in through the doors together and started singing.

(Music-Battle, Equestria Girls Rainbow Rocks OST)

The Dazzlings: Ah, ah-ah, ah-ahh
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ahh
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ahh
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ahh

Their singing got everyone’s attention on them as they walk past them.

Adagio: We heard you want to get together
We heard you want to rock this school
We've thought of something that is better
Something that changes all the rules
Why pretend we're all the same
When some of us shine brighter?
Arira and Sonata: Shine brighter

Shadow starts having a bad feeling about this, he doesn’t know what this is but he can tell the Dazzlings are up to something big.

Adagio: Here's a chance to find your flame
Are you a loser or a fighter?

The Dazzlings: Me and you, you and me
Why don't we see who is better?
We don't have to be one and the same thing
Oh, what's so wrong with a little competition?
Are you afraid of failing the audition?

Everyone except for Sunset and her five friends, Shadow and Flash, are starting to be drawn to the Dazzlings’ words and slowly glaring at each other too.

Adagio: You're a star and you should know it
Yeah, you rise above the rest
It doesn't matter who you hurt
If you're just proving you're the best
The Dazzlings: Ah, ahh-ahh-ahhh
Battle! You wanna win it
Let's have a battle, battle of the bands
Let's have a battle, we'll go all in it
Let's have a battle, battle, battle
Battle of the bands

“I can beat you!” A girl with blue hair claimed.

Battle!

“Ha! You wish!” A girl with rock style lime green hair brushed off.

Battle!

“I so want this!” A girl with a purple star hairpin said.

Battle!

“Not if I get it first!” A guy with the earth picture on a white shirt said.

Dazzlings and the Students: Me and you, you and me
Why don't we see who is better?
We don't have to be one and the same thing
Oh, what's so wrong with a little competition?

Flash and Shadow notice some green mist are appearing low around the lunchroom while Micro Chip and Sandalwood glaring at each other and chanting with everyone about this Battle of the Bands.

Students: I'm going up and winning the audition!
Battle! We wanna win it
Let's have a battle, battle of the bands
Let's have a battle, we'll go all in it
Let's have a battle, battle, battle
Battle of the bands!

(Music)

After the singing, almost all the students started arguing to each other harshly one saying he, she, or they can be better at music than the others.

“Uh, what the fuck just happened?” Shadow confused.

“I don’t know, huh, I’m gonna head for the bathroom!” Flash quickly dashed his way out the cafeteria though Shadow notice a small spark of electricity coursing through him.

“Hmm, it looks like he knows something and I’m going to find out what that is.” Shadow determined as he walks out of the room too.

(Soccer Field)

Shadow walks into the middle of the school’s soccer field as he managed to follow Flash here thinking this is where he went though don’t see any sign of him anywhere.

Suddenly a small dagger-shaped lightning bolt zap toward Shadow to strike him on the head, but it was knocked away by Shadow’s Stand arm as the bolt hit a fence.

“So, you really are a Stand User.” Flash said appearing before Shadow in a spark of lightning.

“I suspected you to be one as well, and I also suspect you know what’s really going on, do you?” Shadow glared.

“I do, but if you want to know everything that’s going on at this school… then you’ll have beat the answers out of me!” Flash declared as he summoned his Stand.

Flash’s Stand is a humanoid type with golden wings and lightning bolt spiked hair style that is blue like Flash’s hair and has pure white eyes. It wears a thin golden armor of the chest and bottom area, gauntlets and boots though the arm and legs are exposed, helmet almost like a gladiator, and a blue shield with a single bolt symbol on the chest armor.

“So, that’s your Stand?” Shadow asked.

“Yep, this here is Golden Lightning Knight and he’s gonna give you a shock you’ll never forget.” Flash smirked.

“Well, I hope you’re prepared for this!” Shadow summoned his Stand.

Shadow’s Stand is humanoid too with very orange-red spiky hair with one part standing up and the other part goes down halfway to the waist, its body covered in red fur except for the chest and head as the skin is yellow color, red eyes and black eyeshadows, and a long red monkey tail. It wears fingerless black gloves with gold buds on the backhands, white baggy pants with a black belt, and black shoes.

“My Stand, Star Crimson is going show you who you’re messing with!” Shadow declared as the battle between two Stand Users begins now.

To Be Continue…

Author's Note

KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!

Shadow has just experienced his first sight of magic happening in Canterlot High and what better way to know about this than to go fight a guy who just became your friend and that he is also a Stand User too. Let see if Shadow can fight against lightning itself or else, he’ll be in for the shock of a lifetime.

Hope you like the name I thought of for Shadow’s mom, Yuki is Japanese for Courage, so I hope that’s okay and Flash having his own Stand, don’t worry he won’t be the enemy.
