Adventure at Canterlot High

We were all walking back into the boutique to get ready for the Fall Formal.

"I still can't believe we pulled that off." Fluttershy shy.

"I can! We're awesome!" Rainbow added.

“I cannot wait to see the look on Sunset’s face when Twilight aces this!” Tristen said with a grin. “It's gonna be absolutely priceless!”

“Now hold on, kiddo." Cortana said as she appeared from the Omnitrix, surprising the girls. “We still don't know who will win the event.”

“Did you not see how many people voted for Twilight earlier?” Tristen replied with confidence. “Twi has got this in the freaking bag!”

“Uh, pardon me…” Fluttershy chimed in, “But are you… uh…”

“Naked?” Cortana asked, earning a blush and a nod from Fluttershy. “Yes, I am. Don't ask me why, I was a programed to be like this.”

Applejack casts a suspicious look to Tristen, to which the boy noticed. “Hey, don't look at me! I didn’t make her!”

"Enough chatter, everyone," Rarity interrupted, "we need to get ready, and we need to look fabulous!”

(Later)

The girls had finally chosen what they were going to wear for the Fall Formal.

“Alright girls.”

They look over to see Tristen dressed in a black tuxedo with a green colored carnation pinned to his chest.

“How do I look?” Tristen asked.

They were absolutely stunned at Tristen’s look.

“Oh my!” Rarity said out of awe. “You look ravishing, darling!”

“Pretty swanky there.” Applejack added with a thumbs up.

“Really?” Tristen asked bashfully. “I don't look overdressed, do I?”

“Oh, absolutely not.” Rarity replied. “No doubt you'll be turning heads when we arrive!”

“Speaking of which, is Twilight ready?” Tristen asked.

“You tell us.” Rainbow replied as Twilight approached in her dress for the Fall Formal.

Tristen was absolutely floored; no, he was stunned speechless. His eyes could pop out of his head, his mouth was agape, he could not say a word.

“Looks like you're not the only one who’ll be turning heads.” Cortana said in a teasing manner.

The group arrived in a limo before exiting the vehicle and began to head inside, but Twilight stopped when Flash called her name and approached her.

“Uh, Twilight!” Flash said nervously. “Look, I was wondering if uh… would you… like to dance with me?”

Twilight, with a mad blush on her cheeks, stammered. “Uh… well-uh…”

She stops as Tristen takes her hand, then takes Flash’s, and has them hold each other’s hand. “She would love to.”

The two blush, and Flash allows Twilight in first. Tristen gives Flash a playful smile.

“You're welcome, my guy.” Tristen said with a playful wink before entering, and Flash followed.

The party was definitely in full swing. People were having a good time, and even Flash's band was performing on stage.

“Hell yeah, baby!” Tristen declared in enthusiasm. “Now it's a party!”

“Anybody see Sunset Shimmer?” Twilight asked.

“Maybe she was too embarrassed to show!” Rainbow shrugged. “She's gotta know you won by a landslide!”

Tristen however started to ponder. ‘Wait a minute. If I recall correctly, she’s… oh crap!’

Tristen kept a sharp eye out for Sunset and her goons.

The music died down as Principal Celestia took the stage. “First off, I wanna say how wonderful everything looks tonight.” Said Celestia. “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.” Vice Principal Luna approached the stage, holding a case that held the crown. “The Princess of this year's Fall Formal is…” Celestia pulls up an envelope and pulls out a card, “Twilight Sparkle!”

As Twilight approached the stage, Tristen held onto Spike while making sure to keep a lookout.

“Congratulations, Twilight.” Celestia said as she placed the crown on Twilight's head.

Tristen smiled, but then looked behind him to see Sunset’s two goons, Snips and Snails. Both boys backed away in a bit of fear, but Tristen and the two noticed a familiar fog appear.

“What the…” Tristen’s eyes then went wide. “Oh, God no!”

A road then filled the room, making everyone present look to see a familiar lizard-like monster appear.

“Oh no!” Twilight uttered in terror, recognizing the beast.

But it got even worse as it was accompanied by a bunch of humanoid creatures, the very same kind that Tristen fought at the soccer field.

“Are you freaking kidding me?!” Tristen yelled out as he was jumped on by one of the humanoids.

“Tristen!” Applejack cried out as she and Rainbow went to help, only to get smacked away by the lizard monster’s tail. Snips and Snails saw Spike and were about to grab him, but a humanoid got in their way, so they two just bolted out of the room in terror.

Tristen managed to shake the humanoid off before readying his Omnitrix.

“Allow me.” Cortana spoke as Tristen quickly transformed into the familiar heavy handed electric user named:

“Thunderclap!”

This transformation stunned everyone present, except for Twilight and friends, as Thunderclap… well, clapped his hands together to send a powerful shockwave that knocked each of the creatures down.

Thunderclap then raised his right hand up, sending multiple bolts of electricity that destroyed each and every remaining creature.

“Twi!” Thunderclap looks to Twilight. “Sunset is outside!”

Twilight nods as she and her friends ran outside. They all ran through the halls until they ended up outside with Sunset holding up a sledgehammer near the statue.

"That's close enough!" Sunset ordered, making them stop in our tracks. “You don't belong here. Give me the crown, and you can go back to Equestria tonight. Or keep it and never go home.”

“I have a better idea!” Thunderclap growled furiously, sparkling with electricity. “Either you drop the hammer, or I’ll show a whole new meaning to the term “electrifying! Like I said, I'm not above hitting a bitch!”

“Quite the mouth you have, boy.”

It appeared to be a man with a skeletal face, but a muscular body. He had deep, sunken-in eyes with shadow marks circulating them and dark empty holes for cheeks. He had ashen-gray skin, long silvery white hair, eyes with jet black sclerae and glowing red irises, and two antler-like horns protruding from the sides of his head.

He wore a black knee-length, open-chested tunic with ribs on the sides of his body with red flesh and scars, and a sleeveless deep indigo robe that completely covered his legs.

Upon seeing this new figure, the gang went on the defensive. "Who are you?!" Rainbow demanded.

The man smirked in response. “Who am I? Who am I?” He asked with a chortle. “I am Poneros! Lord of Evil! Fearmonger of the Multiverse! Master of Ruin! King of…”

“Yeah, yeah, we get it!” Thunderclap reported with annoyance. “What do you want?”

Poneros chuckled some more. “What do I want? I think you mean, who I want. And who I want…” Poneros snapped his fingers, causing a mass of black tentacles to bind Thunderclap. “Is you!”

“Tristen!” Twilight and friends called out in worry, then Twilight looked at Poneros. “Release him!”

“Oh, no can do my dear.” Poneros replied, wagging his finger. “See, your friend here is a threat to my position of power. And anyone that that threatens my authority must be-”

Poneros was cut off when a lightning blast struck his face and knocked him to the ground.

“Bullseye!” Thunderclap declared as he sent a surge of electricity through the tentacles, destroying them to free himself.

Thunderclap then sent another blast at the sledgehammer Sunset held, breaking it apart.

Poneros suddenly got back up, chuckling wickedly. “Oh, how I love it when they choose the hard way!” Poneros asked with a smirk. Then by raising his arm up, another blanket of mist appeared as a large black mass materialized behind him.

Thunderclap and the gang watched on as the mass began to levitate before taking shape. It formed a long, tattered, black cloak with long sleeves that gradates into a dark purple color from the waist down. It has a long-pointed hood, and from it sprouted wispy tentacles, and from the cuffs formed larger clawed hands. And lastly, it formed red eyes with three black lines underneath both eyes, and a glowing red mouth that formed a ground, its overall expression resembling a mix of dread and sorrow.

Thunderclap and his friends looked at the new creature with shock, but then he looks at Poneros. “So, you've been sending those things after me.”

“Correct you are my boy.” Poneros replied with a shrug. “ Ain't I a stinker? Oh, and before I take my leave…”

Poneros snapped his fingers, making the crown on Twilight's head vanish before it reappeared in Poneros’s. He then looks to Sunset Shimmer before tossing the crown towards her.

“Shit!” Thunderclap muttered in shock.

“Have fun.” Poneros said before vanishing in a cloud of black mist.

“Not sure who that guy was, but glad he showed up.” Sunset said with a wicked grin. “At last! More power than I could ever imagine!”

Sunset placed the crown on her head, but then suddenly she got surrounded by glowing teal energy rings and a beam of dark energy erupted from her as she hovered into the air.

Everyone watched in shock and terror as Sunset had changed into something more demonic. Her eyes had black sclerae with moderate cyan pupils, her hair was raised upwards to look like a flame, her skin was now a brilliant crimson.

She now wore a jagged red and yellow dress with a jagged black belt, a long red and yellow tail, a pair of black and red demonic wings, her ears were longer and pointed and her boots were black with red trims.

“Laugh while you still can, bitch!” Thunderclap declared, but unfortunately the Omnitrix beeped. And in a bright red flash, Thunderclap changed back into Tristen.

“Oh, for Christ’s sake, are you freaking kidding me?!” Tristen's declared out of frustration.

It only got worse as the phantom-like figure then released a mighty scream, sending red sound waves at Tristen. The attack sent him crashing against the school doors.

And to make matters even worse, Sunset used her newfound power to transform Snips and Snails into their demonic forms as well.

The many students screamed in terror, and Sunset took notice of the panicked crowd as she and her two underlings advanced them. “I've had to jump through so many hoops tonight just to get my hands on this crown, and it really should have been mine all along.”

“Yeah, only in your damned dreams!” Tristen basked back, earning a smear from the girl.

But Sunset regained her composure. “But let's let bygones be bygones.” Sunset continued. “I am your princess now, and you will be loyal... to me!” Sunset then uses her powers to telepathically rip a huge chunk from the school and move it aside.

As the crowd ran from her, Sunset began to use her powers to fully control the minds of everyone. Rendering them all her zombified slaves.

Sunset Shimmer turns to Snips and Snails. “Round them up and bring them to the portal.” Snips and Snails loyally saluted.

She then took notice of Twilight. “Spoiler alert: I was bluffing when I said I was going to destroy the portal.” Sunset explained her true motivations. “I don't want to rule this pathetic little high school; I want Equestria! And with my own little teenage army behind me, I am going to get it!”

"Never gonna happen!”

Sunset turned to see Tristen standing defiantly.

"Well, well. Haven't had enough, eh?" Sunset taunted, "Face it. You and your little posse lost." Her hands began glowing in a teal aura as Tristen stood his ground against the demonic girl. "As far as I see, I won!"

"If you think I'm scared of you, then you are out of your damn mind!” Tristen replied as he dialed up the Omnitrix.

"You really think that watch will save you?" Sunset asked with a smirk. “Whatever transformation you choose, it won't help.”

Tristen however had a smirk of his own. "Only one way to find out!” Tristen then tapped the Omnitrix’s screen to trigger the transformation.

Tristen's body began to morph again, with his skin turning a mix of blue, gray and purple. His neck extended in length as the underside emits a bright green glow, his torso began to get bulkier with muscle, his arms extended and became thicker with the underside of his forearms having glowing green latch, his legs becoming stumpy and more reptilian with his feet gaining two toes on the front and a third protruding from the heel.

His shoulders gained three glowing green patches, he had a tail growing from his tailbone, and his head became more reptilian. His chin extended in length; a large horn emerged from his forehead while he grew blue plates that trailed along his back. And of course, the Omnitrix insignia appeared on the center of his chest.

And to finish the transformation, he grew to a staggering 50 feet in height. With the transformation complete, he roared out his new name:

“Big Bang!”

Twilight and her friends were astonished, Snips and Snails were shocked and a little scared, but Sunset didn't seem intimidated in the slightest.

“Awesome!” Rainbow spoke in amazement.

“Oh… my…” Fluttershy muttered out upon seeing the size of Tristen’s new alien.

"Well, I will admit. That is an impressive display," Sunset noted, "Not that it makes you look any better."

"This coming from the queen bitch who could break a mirror just by looking at it.” Big Bang quipped with a smirk. Twilight and her friends giggled at the clever remark while Sunset growled at him.

"That does it!" Sunset roared out in fury before firing an energy blast at Big Bang, only for the attack to bounce right off of him. “WHAT?!”

Big Bang smirked. “That actually kinda tickled.” Big Bang then raised up his right fist, the appendage expanding a few sizes. “Now here comes the wind up!”

Big Bang went to punch Sunset, but the girl was quick enough to evade the attack. But due to the increased weight of his newly inflated arm, this caused Big Bang to lose his footing and fall over with a loud thud.

Sunset laughed at the display. “For someone so big, you really are incredibly slow!”

The specter hovered to Big Bang before releasing another deafening scream that caused everyone present to cover their ears.

“Man… that's loud!” Rainbow grunted in pain.

Big Bang growled before opening his mouth, firing a blast of green energy at the ghostly screamer. Not only stopping its thunderous scream, but also making it crash to the ground.

“That thing is really giving me a headache.” Big Bang declared before getting back up, his expanded arm reverting back to its original size. “I can do this all night, Sunset!” Big Bang turns to Sunset.

"Oh please!" Sunset replied, "What exactly do you and Twilight think you're going to do to stop me? I have magic, and you have nothing!”

"They have us!" Rainbow Dash stated as she and the other girls stood up with Twilight.

Twilight smiled with a newfound confidence while Big Bang smiled at seeing the fond display.

Sunset just growled as the girls ran to Twilight, but then she started laughing. "Gee, the gang really is all back together again!" she said, wiping away a tear. "Now step aside!” Sunset began to form a fireball in her hands. "Twilight has tried to interfere with my plans one too many times already! She needs to be dealt with!"

And with that, Sunset throws the giant fireball right towards Twilight. But luckily, Big Bang stood in front of Twilight and crouched, crossing his arms to shield her and the others from the attack.

Sunset growled in frustration as a result. “You really are getting on my nerves, you know that?!”

“Back at ya, twink!” Big Bang shot back.

“Uh, guys…” Fluttershy stuttered in terror while pointing upward.

Big Bang looks up to see the specter hovering in the air, its body sparked with violet colored electricity.

“That doesn't look good.” Applejack said in shock.

Poneros chuckled as he watched the fight through his crystal ball. “As fun as this whole shindig was, every party must come to an end eventually.”

Poneros then raised up his right hand. “But fret not, children.” Poneros said. “I’ve prepared the greatest grand finale that will literally blow you away.” And with that, Poneros snapped his fingers.

The specter emits yet another scream, this one being louder than the previous one. But shortly afterwards, it flew higher up into the sky, its body being to expand and contract simultaneously, like something was building up inside of its body and was desperate to be released.

“What in Celestia’s name…?” Twilight uttered as Spike hid behind her leg.

And moments later, a blast of deep red energy was fired from the robe, which was now empty and began to disintegrate. Everyone watches in shock as the attack strikes the ground right between Sunset and Twilight’s gang.

And for a few moments, nothing seemed to happen. But the ground suddenly began to shake, and Spike whimpered in fear as he cowered behind Twilight.

And shortly after, a massive burst of deep red energy riddled with faces of pure terror, releasing a cacophony of horrific screams so loud that it practically broke every window in every building in close range. Everyone present had to cover their ears due to how deafeningly loud the noise was, and even then, they could still hear it.

The attack was not only loud, but it also created a power shockwave that sent Sunset flying into school while also making Big Bang stumble backwards. Luckily though, the reptilian giant managed to regain his footing in order to avoid accidentally stepping on his friends and breaking the portal.

Moments later, the noise finally stopped as the energy burst dissipated.

“Ugh… my ears…” Pinkie groaned in pain as she rubbed her ears.

Rarity rubbed her temples to ward off the ensuing headache. “I'm… going to need an aspirin after that.”

Sunset, growling in rage, flew back up and glared at Big Bang. “I have had enough of this!” Sunset fired an intense laser blast towards the colossal reptile. But suddenly, and out of seemingly nowhere, Big Bang was
and was covered by a magical pink aura. And it wasn't just him, but Twilight and the others were shielded too. "What?!"

Big Bang had a huge grin. "Nice save.” Big Bag then looks down to see the Omnitrix symbol emitting a multicolored glow. "What the…?”

Twilight smiled as she realized what was happening with the magical barrier. "The magic contained in my element was able to unite with those that helped create it!" Twilight stated as the crown released an aura upon Tristen and the girls. “Honesty! Kindness! Laughter! Generosity! Loyalty! Magic!”

As this happened, the girls flew upwards, each one developing growing pony ears, and ponytails. Twilight, Rainbow, and Fluttershy also sported a pair of wings that matched their respective skin colors.

Meanwhile, Big Bang's body was suddenly enveloped in a multicolored aura, as multiple parts of his body began to change color. His chest became light purple, the back of his neck was bright orange, his biceps turned bright cyan while his forearms turned bright yellow, his legs turned bright pink, and the rest of his body turned to an alabaster white. The horn on his head was the only part of his body that changed physically, turning into a spiraling horn like that of a unicorn.

“Together with a crown, they create a power beyond anything you could imagine, but it is a power you don't have the ability to control!” Twilight declared in pride while Sunset backed up a bit in terror. “The crown may be upon your head, Sunset Shimmer, but you cannot wield it, because you do not possess the most powerful magic of all: the magic of friendship!”

And with that, the girls sent out a ray of light shaped like a rainbow down towards Sunset.

The demonic girl screamed out as the rainbow swirled around her, "What, is, happening?".

"Here, and in Equestria, it is the only magic that can truly unite us all!" Twilight started as the rainbow tornado suddenly shot out beams of rainbows, going through each of the teens, knocking them out of Sunset's mind control. The rainbows also swirled around the demonic pair of Snips and Snails as well.

"You've officially been dethroned, Sunset!” Big Bang said before his throat began to glow a bright green glow before firing a powerful green energy blast into the tornado. The combo attack caused a powerful explosion of light that spread over the entire school.

As the light vanished, the students walked out of the destroyed opening of the school, watching as Big Bang released a road of victory.

A beeping sound was heard as the Kaiju-like alien was enveloped in a red flash, indicating that he had turned into Tristen.

Once Tristen was back to normal, he wiped the sweat off his forehead. "Man, now that was one hell of a rush."

But he was suddenly held tightly by a pair of arms. He turned his head to see Pinkie hugging him with near impossible strength.

"You. Are. So. AMAZING!" Pinkie screamed with a jump.

“Amazing? More like totally awesome!” Rainbow added.

Tristen blushed bashfully at the praise, but then he looks to see a massive crater on the ground where demon Sunset once stood.

“Oooh…” Tristen winced at the sight. “Uh... I hope the faculty have the insurance to cover this.”

Tristen then looked into the crater, and he saw that Sunset was back to normal. And the girl crying.

“You will never rule in Equestria.” Twilight declared. “Any power you may have had in this world is gone. Tonight, you've shown everyone who you really are.” As Twilight said, many other students arrived. "You've shown them what is in your heart.”

Sunset looked to Twilight, tears fresh on her eyes. “I-I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.” Sunset said, sniffling. “I didn't know there was another way.”

Upon seeing Sunset in such a state, it was hard for Tristen to keep a stern expression. Sure, she did some terrible things, but he couldn't help but sympathize with her.

"The Magic of Friendship doesn't just exist in Equestria...it's everywhere." Twilight turns to see her friends, and Tristen smiles at Twilight. "You can seek it out, or you can forever be alone.” Twilight looks back to Sunset, who claimed up the crater. “The choice is yours.”

Sunset wiped her tears away. “But... But all I've ever done since being here is drive everyone apart.” Sunset replied. “I don't know the first thing about friendship.”

Tristen walks to Sunset and kneels to her. Sunset looks up at him, surprised to see a soft smile on his face. “Well, it's never too late to learn.” Tristen extends a hand to her, much to her surprise. “Besides, I've hardly had many friends where I’m from too.”

Tristen then looks at the girls. “But that all changed the moment I came here.” Tristen gestured to the girls, who smiled at Tristen. “I may not know much about friendship, but I'm willing to help you out. And I'm sure they are too.”

Sunset was surprised by this. In spite of all she's done to him and Twilight, he was acting so nice to her. “Why?” Sunset tasked, earning a confused look from Tristen. “Why are you suddenly so nice to me? After how nasty I've been to you and Twilight?”

Tristen smiled again. “Because I’m a guy who believes in second chances.” Tristen replied. “Yes, you've done some really questionable things, and yes the road ahead isn't going to be easy, but I'm sure you can work on bettering yourself.”

Sunset was still surprised, but she suddenly wraps her arms around him and continued on crying. Tristen said nothing as he rubs Sunset's back while Twilight and friends watched on with a smile.

“That feller truly is something’, ain't he?” Applejack said, wiping a tear away.

“He sure is.” Spike said in agreement, making the other student sloka to him in surprise.

“Did that dog just talk?” A student asked in shock. “Woah! Weird!”

“Seriously?” Spike asked. “The talking dog the weird thing about all of this?”

Tristen snickered at Spike's retort. “He's got a point.”

"I, for one, think you're adorable." Rarity said, picking Spike up and petting him.

Principal Celestia approached Twilight with the crown in her hands, "I believe this...belongs to you." Twilight knelt down in front of her. "A true princess in any world leads, not by forcing others to bow before her, but by inspiring others to stand with her. We've all seen you're capable of doing just that, I hope you see it too...Princess Twilight."

Twilight smiled, "I do."

Everyone cheered for the girls and I as Twilight stood back up.

"Would now be a completely awkward time to ask you for that dance?" Flash asked her with a hopeful smile.

Twilight nervously accepted and we all went back to the Fall Formal and celebrated.

Rainbow flew around with an orange skinned, purple haired girl as Twilight was dancing like she had four legs. Flash decided to join her, and they looked like they had a lot of fun.

Even Tristen was enjoying the party as he was breakdancing like there was no tomorrow, and many students cheered him on.

Just then, a girl photographer came in to take our picture. Twilight, Tristen, and their newfound friends gathered to lose for the picture.

The time had come for Twilight and Spike to return home, and the rest of the gang were bidding their goodbyes.

"You'll look out for her, won't you?" Twilight asked us, talking about Sunset.

Tristen looks over to Sunset, who was in the process of fixing the damages with Snips and Snails.

"Of course we will.” Rarity replied. "Though I expect some sort of apology for last spring's debacle."

"I have a feeling she'll be handing out a lot of apologies." Twilight responded as Luna hands Sunset a brick spatula as Snips and Snails pushed a wheelbarrow full of bricks.

"We'd better get going." Spike suggested.

Twilight nodded, looking at her new friends. "I know we've only met for a short time, but I'm gonna miss you all so much." She then looks at Tristen. “And thank you for all your help, Tristen."

Tristen smiled, tears streaming down his face as he hugged Twilight. “Don't mention it.” Tristen released her, wiping away his tears. “You take care of yourself, Twi."

Twilight nods in reply, takes a breath and walks back to the base of the statue with Spike following her.

"That crown really does suit you, Princess Twilight." Spike said as he winked.

"You know what, Spike? I am feeling a bit more comfortable wearing it." Twilight said.

"And the wings?" Spike asked.

"I've been walking around on two legs and picking things up with these!" Twilight raises her hands to emphasize her point. "Wings? I'm thrilled that's all I'll be dealing with back in Equestria!"

The two walked through the portal just as the moon reached its peak in the sky, and the girls reverted back to their normal selves shortly afterwards.

Pinkie rushed to the portal intent to go after Twilight, but face-planted into the surface. "Ohh, bummer!"

“Don't worry, Pinkster.” Tristen said with a chuckle. “I've got a feeling we'll see her again.”

“And speaking which, I don't think we've seen the last of that Poneros fellow either." Cortana added.

“If he does show up again, we'll be ready for him!” Rainbow declared.

Tristen looks over at Sunset, feeling bad for the girl. With a sigh, he walks over to her direction while the others look on in surprise.

Sunset was in the process of setting up some bricks, but a brick was close to falling on her head. Lucky however, a hand catches it before it could strike her.

Sunset looks to Tristen, who positions the brick back in place while holding a bucket. “Figured you could use a hand.”

Sunset was taken by surprise by the kind gesture and was blushing a little. “Thanks… but I-I…” Sunset was cut off by Tristen placing a hand on her shoulder.

The two shared a smile, and Tristen commenced in helping his now former enemy. The other girls watched on with smiles of their own.
