X - To Save The World (TBR)

Noah stood firm. With the power from the Rainbooms along with Sunset, his aura had changed from bright white to that of a flaming rainbow. He sighted his friends, they were in danger.

CJ had lost his Bizon and was struggling to escape a hole the Sirens made for him, he cursed a multitude of times after many failed attempts.

Jain was hiding inside of the flipped pick-up truck, his MP5 split in half just outside the left door. Noah could feel Jain's frustration from where he stood.

Manex was launched through the windshield and laid unconscious with blood dripping from his forehead and mouth, not a worrying amount, but still showed signs of serious pain as he twitched every now and then. His EBR-14 hung from his chest, unscathed somehow.

And right next to him was the last standing, Fall. He was perilously trying to keep the Sirens from attacking the rest of his friends as he sprayed each Siren with a devastating amount of lead that tried anything with his M249.

"Okay, second times the charm... or is it third times the charm? Fuck it, don't have time for this," Noah thought aloud, which gained a mumble from Sunset as she drowsily opened her eyes.

Noah spread his arms and legs wide as he did before and the clouds above him began to swirl like a thunderstorm. The sound of thunder above made Jain jump and he could hear his friend curse everything that exists.

"N... Noah, wha... what are y-you doing?" Sunset muttered, but loud enough for Noah to hear. "Important shit, kid. Might wanna pray you don't get hit. Sunset tilted her head, "Wha... what?"

As Noah's palms began to glow, lightning began bolting from above and attacking the ground below like a gunship. Bolts passed Noah just barely missing him and Sunset before dissipating. That was enough to get Sunset to jump to her feet in fear.

"Ah! W-What the heck?! Was that lightning?! Noah, w-what the heck are you c-charging!?" Noah smiled as the wind began to pick up around him and grass, rocks, and dirt began rising and falling from the ground, each bound faster than the last.

"I told you, I saw it on a TV show," He responded, not distraught in the least. "O-Oh really?! And what happened to the land after the thing in the show occurred?!" Noah didn't respond.

"Do us all a favor and not blow up the planet, please!" Sunset shouted, regaining her strength. "Okay mom! Fuck me!"

The wind began to pick up pace as his hair and Sunset's flailed around like a flag. The dirt, rocks, and grass began to revolve Noah much faster and the ground itself began to shake.

Feeling a hot sensation within himself and his palms, Noah peeked over at both of his hands to see smoking and sharp balls of magic form, they even had lightning within them.

As Noah returned his attention to the Sirens, several bolts of electricity struck the ground below like explosive shells from wars, caused by the Sirens, of course.

But he saw something else, one of the Sirens, Adagio to be exact, had trapped Fall in a hole similar to CJ. Once he fell in the hole, he was barely hanging on to his life as he was hit directly from the attack. Adagio was going to eat him whole like a filthy beast.

"No! Motherfucker!" Sunset showed up next to him, "What, what is it!?"

"Adagio! That orange bastard is gonna eat Fall! If I fire a premature blast like this one, I'm not sure there'll be an Earth worth saving anymore. You know, because it'll be fuckin' obliterated!"

Sunset stumbled back as a rock hit her back. Ow! Damn it! She thought to herself. But when she stepped back, she saw a glint from Noah and realized something. It was his handgun, the Desert Eagle, and it was sticking out from his back pocket.

"Noah, I think I have an idea, but... Not sure how to do it!" Noah turned his head around to feel Sunset pull the gun from his back pocket. She dropped it when she realized how surprisingly heavy it was. "Why is this so heavy?"

"It's the strongest handgun in the world! What, did you expect it to feel like a fuckin' peashooter?!" Sunset rolled her eyes, "Stop being a jerk and tell me how this works!"

"Okay, see that switch-looking thingy on the side?! That's the safety, turn it the other way!" Sunset did as she was told and pushed the switch. It was a little difficult, but just a little. "Okay, now what?!"

"The top of the gun is called the slide, pull that back until it can't be pulled back anymore and let go! A bullet will fly out, so don't be alarmed! Once you've got that done, press your finger down on the other switch at the end of the slide, it's called the hammer!"

Sunset once again followed his instructions and found that pulling the slide back was quite difficult. "End of the world here, Sunset! Move like you've got a purpose!"

"I'm trying, hold on!" It took a few more tries until Sunset successfully pulled the slide back entirely. She then completed the other instruction she was given. "Okay, now what?!"

"Mount up on my shoulder and aim down the sights! The sights are the things pointing up on top of the slide, they're there to make shooting a helluva lot easier!"

Sunset held the gun out and fixed onto Noah's shoulder. She then aimed down the sights with her right eye, Noah smirked. "Fantastic, I didn't have to walk you through the easiest part of the gun! Nice job, kid!"

Sunset blushed, "Y-Yeah, thanks!" Noah then returned his attention to Fall, the Sirens were fighting over who got to eat Fall, which only angered Noah more, but he grew fearful when he saw Adagio had won the argument.

"Alright kid, Aim down on Adagio's eye! She won't be expecting it, so you should have a clear shot! See those couple of bullet holes in them from when the boys first came 'round?! That's because they didn't expect them and let their magic down!"

"Now on my mark," Noah instructed, and Sunset aimed down right on Adagio's left eye. He felt the magic within his hands grow larger, and larger, until...

*SHINE!*

"Mark!" Noah yelled, and Sunset unloaded the entire mag into the Siren's eye. It cried in anguish and Noah saw that Sunset had completely destroyed Adagio's eye as it began to bleed in multiple spots.

"Now what?!" Sunset asked, confused, slightly scared, and shook.

"Now, you stand the fuck back! It's ready!" Noah replied, and Sunset quickly backed away, shielding the Rainbooms.

"Hey Sirens! Tell Satan I said he can go fuck himself because I'm sending you straight to his doorstep!" Noah shouted at the top of his lungs, and Sunset along with the Sirens could hear a monstrous echo, like a second voice straight from the depths.

Noah brought his hands together and they faced the Sirens like a weird martial arts move. When they did, everything stopped...

"FINAL FLASH!!"

With two words, the largest beam of white light and magic ever seen on Earth, and maybe even in Equestria, erupted from Noah's hands like the mightiest volcano known to man.

Sunset was awestruck as she felt pale and insignificant. The beam was ridiculously large as it rushed forward towards all three Sirens, it was so undeniably massive, it was twice the size of them combined!

The Sirens stared, not a sound left their mouth. Jain crawled from out of the flipped truck and gawked at the bright white beam as it came charging for Earth's greatest monsters.

All at once, the beam hit the Sirens and ate them whole. Jain watched as their silhouettes all dissolved and burned away with the beam. He could only imagine how god awful that must feel, then again, he didn't care.

The smoke began to clear. Noah held his hands together and breathed strenuously as he scanned the clouds, worried that he might've missed.

"Please God, don't make me do that again... Jesus fuckin' Christ."

When the smoke dissipated to one layer, Jain shouted from afar. "You got 'em nigga!"

The smoke finally cleared away and there was nothing left of the Sirens. Noah dropped to his knees and held his sides in unbearably painful victory. His aura dissipated, but his hair and eyes kept its color. Sunset stood up from behind and approached him. "Need a hand?"

Noah grabbed said hand, and Sunset struggled to lift him up, but lifted him regardless. "Yeah! You got 'em!" Shouted a voice.

Noah turned to his right to find the Rainbooms conscious and well. It seemed the blast had awoken them from their slumber. "Well butter mah butt and call me a biscuit, you got 'em!" Applejack spoke up, relieved.

"Dude that blast was enormous! That may’ve been the coolest thing I've ever seen!" Rainbow Dash added, fired up. "How did you produce that?! I've never seen a blast so large in my life! I don't even think the Princesses have either!" Twilight questioned, baffled.

"Well whatever it was, it sure did save our home! Marvelous job everyone!" Rarity congratulated, the world was saved. "You know, ” Rainbow began, ”Twilight is going back to Equestria soon. The Rainbooms could really use someone to help Fluttershy on backup vocals..."

Catching the hint, Sunset snatched a guitar from nearby and performed incredible guitar skills that nobody expected as the group’s jaw dropped like a sack of flour, expeciall Rainbow Dash’s. “I also play guitar,” Sunset spoke up, and Noah struggled to hold his laughter, “Jesus fuckin’ Christ…”

Rainbow looked at Twilight, Twilight looked back. Rainbow looked at the others, they looked back. Rainbow placed her hands on her hips and sighed, “We’ll see.” With that, the Rainbooms rushed up to Sunset and gave her a loving hug, a new member of the Rainbooms had arrived.

"Aw, how sweet!" Noah sarcastically spoke up. "You know Noah, you really helped us out these past few days. You could always join our b-band too."

Noah waved her off, "Nah nigga, I'd rather be your manager." Rainbow scoffed, "Our manager? Seriously?" Noah shrugged, "What? Afraid someone's gonna actually put you in your place without the addition of a spell?" She rolled her eyes, "Please..."

"Well, you're definitely our new friend!" Pinkie responded, rushing over and lifting Noah in a hug that shouldn't be possible at all. "W-What?!"

"Noah, you helped us save the world, especially in the end as you took it into your own hands. Not only that, but we learned that you aren't just an absolute jerk. You have a grand heart, and with your power, it’s even larger than ours combined! We’d be honored to have you as our friend." Sunset answered, approaching him.

"Yeah, that sounds about right," Applejack added, along with the others agreeing. ”Fuck it, whatever...”

When Pinkie dropped him, all the Rainbooms joined in and held Noah in another group hug. "Ow! I can't feel my dick guys, chill!" The Rainbooms giggled before backing away, and Noah laid his eyes on Sunset.

"Hey kid... bring it in," Noah said as he approached Sunset and gave her a friendly hug under her arms. Sunset was taken aback, a lot of things had happened in the last few days, but never did she think that she'd share a hug with who used to be her greatest adversary.

Feeling warm and at peace like never before, Sunset hugged back as a single tear fell down her cheek. "Thank you," She whispered, and Noah replied. "You're alright kid. You're alright."

Noah ended the hug and found the Rainbooms tearing and cooing at such a wholesome moment, Noah rolled his eyes. "Okay, I gotta go get my friends-"

"Right here, nigga!" Jain shouted from behind with CJ behind him as well. "Aight, nigga damn!" Noah replied, startled. ”A’ight, nigga, damn?! Motherfucke-" Jain stopped, he took a deep breath, and relaxed.

"We’re gonna talk about that shit that just occurred after we get our friends. So get the fuck over here and help us!" CJ replied, and Noah rolled his eyes. Rainbow and Pinkie chuckled from behind.

Noah, Jain, and CJ approached the hole where Fall laid unconscious. "Christ alive.” CJ spoke up, receiving a nudge from Noah. CJ was never good at being subtle or saying the right things which got the group into trouble every now and then.

As a result of being hit by a direct blast, half of Falls's face and body were burnt to a crisp. His hair had burned and he most likely couldn't feel a thing.

"Alright, I got this," Noah spoke up as he slid down the hole. "The fuck you mean you got this?" Noah brought his hands to Fall's body, "Turns out I can heal people and stuff. There's a lot of things that need explaining today anyways."

Noah lowered his hands and they began to glow lightly. CJ and Jain watched in absolute disbelief.

The burns on Fall's face started to slowly creep away like a nasty virus commercial, the hair on his head grew back like a timelapse of grass growing, and Noah could feel and hear bones being set back into place within him.

Fatigued, Fall woke up, "Woah... you guys look like hammered shit." CJ promptly flipped him off and Jain just gaped, amazed. ”That nigga was burnt to a crisp, how the hell is all of that gone?!"

"Man, I don't know, I just tried it with my hand underneath the stage before I went up. Wanted to see whether or not I had healing powers. Now we know," Noah replied, the feeling of triumph still strong within him.

"The hell happened to your hand?" CJ questioned, and Noah responded, "I broke it. Hurt bad but, I was too angry to care about it. Probably lost a lot of blood, too."

"You broke your hand? Nigga, I swear you can be hella stupid sometimes. I don't even understand how you're a white Super Saiyan," Jain replied.

"Yeah, why are you like this? And more importantly, why am I not a Super Saiyan?" CJ asked, feeling left out. "It's not white Super Saiyan dumbass, it's this whole thing, I'll explain when we go to that diner.

"Wait, we're going to the diner? What for?" Fall asked, confused. "Turns out those Sirens were Earth's greatest puppeteers as they've had to do with literally every horrible thing that has ever happened just for some stupid-ass negative energy. That includes dropping a building on my family."

"Holy shit, really?! Man, I'm glad you fucked them up. I lost my grandfather in WWII," CJ replied. "Exactly, and now that they've been, mercilessly slaughtered, we can go party our asses off at the diner!" Noah responded, a strange menacing tone in his voice echoing for a short while.

"What about Manex?" Fall asked as he stood up to find Manex still unconscious from being hurled through a windshield. "Let's go get him," Jain replied, and they began towards him.

"I seriously don't understand how you aren't a Super Saiyan, I mean, look at you! You have bright white hair, a bright white aura, white eyes... okay, I can see the differences now...”

"Dumbass," CJ chuckled, and Manex replied. "Nigga whatever, I got launched through a windshield and lived, I just don't give a shit anymore."

As Noah stood up from Manex, he saw that the audience had returned to normal and were heavily bewildered, along with the principals. Not only that, but Twilight was once again talking to Flash. Noah shrugged it off, I've got better shit to worry about.

He turned to face the hill to see the Rainbooms approaching them, he sighed, Sonuva bitch.

CJ seemed to have noticed too as he spoke up, “Look sharp boys and line up, we’ve got incoming.” The others stood up as well and grew concerned. “This ain’t gonna end well,” Jain replied.

“Relax guys, just relax,” Noah replied, easing them up. It seemed the Rainbooms had noticed that they’d been noticed as they grew quiet and dropped their conversation. As they reached the end of the hill, the Rainbooms stood side by side, similar to the boys.

Fall stepped back while the other three walked forward and crossed their arms. "Looks like we've got a little Mexican standoff here," Jain spoke up, addressing the girls.

"I said relax goddamnit, if it weren't for these guys, we wouldn't be here right now... well, we would but, you know," Noah replied, trying to get his friends to calm down.

"What about her? What makes her so damn special?" Manex replied, pointing to Sunset. "She's the one that tended to Noah when he broke his hand!" Rainbow replied, and Noah's friends' jaws dropped like anvils.

"What in the hell?! She fixed your hand?! That's bullshit! No way in the fuck did that happen!" Jain shouted before skeptically turning to Noah, "...Is it?" He nodded one simple nod.

"But... why?" Applejack stepped forward, "Because Sunset ain't a bad person no more! She's awfully sorry for everythin’ she's ever done, includin’ everythin’ she's done to you."

"Besides, S-Sunset made the last stand here with Noah. We all f-fell unconscious, except for her," Fluttershy added. Sunset herself stepped forward, "I understand if you guys still won't forgive me but, I heard one of you talk about a redeeming act so, wouldn't what just occurred count as one?"

CJ opened his mouth to argue but... he couldn't disagree. The Black Five had all agreed that they could only forgive someone if they made it up to them, and Sunset had done that. Twice. Not only did she tend to Noah's injury, but she also stood side by side with him to stop the Sirens.

Saving the world alongside their best friend was more than enough to forgive one. CJ turned to Jain, Manex turned to Fall, and they all turned to Noah who returned the stare. Sunset really wasn't a bad person anymore.

"Alrighty then girl, you have our forgiveness," CJ spoke up smiling, along with the other sharing a similar grin. "But if you fuck over any of us again, we're gonna fuckin' pop you like a damn birthday ballon," Jain added as he raised his sidearm from his side.

"Okay, okay, I got the message. I don't plan on that ever again anyway," Sunset replied. Hearing this, Jain lowered his weapon and began back towards the truck, along with the rest of them.

"Noah come on, use your stupid ass powers and flip my damn truck," Manex told him, and Noah waved him off. "Yeah yeah nigga, I’m coming. Hold on a second, will you?” Rarity waved him off, “Of course, take your time.”

Noah smiled and returned to Manex and his truck. “Aight nigga, flip this shit,” he directed. Noah approached the roof of the truck, he bent down and gripped it. “Okay, here we go…” With all of his willpower, Noah flipped the truck right side up, vibrating the ground like an Earthquake.

“Holy shit, that actually worked!” Manex exclaimed, surprised. “But it’s scratched to shit! This is gonna cost a fortune!” Manex added, dropping to his knees. “Relax nigga, it’s a hard knock life after all,” Jain replied.

“Hard knock cock sucking life,” CJ added, and Manex simply groaned. Watching from afar, Sunset noticed something near the left rear tire. “Noah, something’s near one of the tires, it’s sparkling.”

Noah eyed the tires until he found a red, shiny, and cracked pendant near one of the tires. He picked it up and brought it over to the Rainbooms as he friends didn’t care in the slightest. “What is it?” Applejack asked.

“It’s one of the Sirens’ pendants,” Noah answered. “This must’ve contained their magic, but thanks to me, they were gonna die with or without it.” The group heard footsteps from the left, it was Twilight. “You found what?”

“One of the Siren’s pendants,” Noah answered and looked at Sunset. ”Must’ve been why Adagio lost it for a second and snatched it back from you.”

Twilight smiled, “Interesting! Well, I should probably bring it back to Celestia, or maybe my own home-”

“This thing gave the monsters who took everything from me, their magic. Their power. I’m taking this as a trophy and a reminder that all those years of pain was worth it. You don’t agree, you can come and get it.”

“O-kay, I uh… I guess that sounds fair.” Noah beamed, “Oh good! Otherwise I’d have to kill you.”

“What-”

“Alright! This has been, uh... shitty, really really shitty, but... also pretty damn fun. Hopefully, nobody else tries to take our will to live and such because that'd be pretty fuckin' irritating."

"Well Noah darling, I'm quite certain there won't be any more mythical creatures like that for some time, perhaps even forever," Rarity replied, at peace.

"See you at school?" Sunset asked, and Noah answered. "Yeah, should be a lot easier considering you're in most of my classes. Alright, see ya later, Rainbrooms." They were not amused.

With that, Noah joined his friends inside of Manex’s truck and shut the door. The black pick-up truck began down the same trail they came, playing another one of, what Sunset believed, Noah’s favorites.

It left a dust cloud unfortunately, and Sunset made sure to make him apologize next time she saw him.

"I wonder how stuff's gonna go now! We have two new members of our band now!" Pinkie exclaimed, excited. Sunset stared and wondered as well, things were going her way, and maybe, just maybe, she'd receive a gift she longed for years,

Someone to hold her.
