Adventure at Canterlot High

Tristen was seated out in the courtyard, tapping the end of a pencil against his head while overlooking a blank page in a notebook.

“Hey.”

Tristen looks up to see Sunset Shimmer standing before him.

“Hey,.Sunset.” Tristen greeted as Sunset sits beside him. “What brings you here?”

“I saw you sitting by yourself.” Sunset replied. “Plus, you look like you could use some help.”

“Yeah, I do actually.” Tristen replied with a nod. “I'm trying to form a band for the musical showcase.” Tristen sighed out a bit in frustration. “But the people I've tried to recruit are already in bands of their own.”

Sunset silently nods her head. But as Tristen looked at Sunset, he then had an idea. ‘Wait.’ “Hey Sunset?” Sunset gives him her attention. “If you're not already taken, would you be willing to be my partner?”

Sunset was surprised at what she had heard from her now former rival. “Me?” Sunset asked. “Oh, uh… I don't know I-I… I…”

The conversation was cut short when they heard police sirens. The two look ahead to see a black cargo van speeding off while two police cars are chasing after it.

Tristen’s phone then buzzed off, making him pull it out and see an Amber alert.

Amber Alert
Amber Alert. Suspect vehicle 2008 black Bison Road Hog, with APL plate. Call 911.

“2008 Bison Road Hog?” Sunset asked, but studenly gasped out in realization. “That was the cargo van we just saw!”

Tristen gets up and readied his Omnitrix. Once he saw the alien he needed for the job, he pressed the screen and was enveloped in a green flash.

In the cargo van, the driver was trying his best to shake the cops off of his tail. In the back was a girl who was tied up and gagged while another crooks sat next to her.

The captive was with light heliotropeish gray skin, light cerulean eyes and hair that was light grayish violet with white streaks. She wore a yellow open jacket with a black undershirt, a grey skirt with black leggings underneath, and yellow boots.

The driver took a sharp u-turn, and the squad card that chased crossed against a nearby trailer truck.

The driver smirked, but his smirk turned into a look of shock upon seeing something coming at him. It looked like a large buzzsaw blade, and it was coming for him. And before the driver could avoid it, the blade dashed into the vehicle, splitting it right down the middle. Both split halves of the vehicle fell and skidd across the pavement.

The buzzsaw blade approached the now split vehicle before stopping to reveal what it truly was. A robotic centaur that was a mix of red, gray, and brinze yellow with various blades protruding from its body, orange pupilless eyes, and the ever iconic Omnitrix symbol visible on its chest.

The robot centaur looks to the captive girl, who was shocked at seeing him. With a single swipe of his blades arms, he cuts the binds that held the girl, making her remove her gag and run off. He then turns his attentions to the two kidnappers.

“What… what just happened?” The first kidnapper asked, looking at the split car.

The other noticed the centaur. “More importantly… What the fresh hell is that thing?!”

The centaur smirked. “Kidnapping kids, that's just something I don't let fly!” The cauntaur said. “And you may call me, Saw Horse!”

The second crook brought up a baseball bat and charged at Saw Horse, only for him to hack the wooden weapon to pieces with his arms before aiming his right blade arm at the crook, who just raised his and sup in surrender. And with that, Saw Horse turned around and kicked him to the ground, knocking his lights out.

The first was about to run off, but he was knocked down to the ground and knocked out cold by a swift kick from Sunset Shimmer.

The two crooks were handcuffed by the police.

“I'm telling you! A four-legged guy with razor blades came up and split our ride in two like a watermelon!”

"Tell it to the judge.” The officer said as he puts the crook in the back of the squad card.

"I swear to God!" The crook said, but the officer was not believing him as he shuts the door.

Nearby, Sunset and Tristen watched on with smiles.

“Gotta admit, you know what you're doing with that thing.” Sunset said to Tristen with an increased smile. Tristen shrugs his shoulders in response.

(Later)

After busting the two kidnappers, Sunset and Tristen met up back at CHS. Tristen was sketching the layout for his banner while Sunset watched.

“Hey Tristen?” Sunset asked, earning the boys attention. “About your offer…” Sunset took a deep breath before looking Tristen in the eye. “I'll gladly join.” Sunset looked down despondently. “Not like anyone else would accept my help.”

Tristen nods silently. “What about Rainbow and the others?” Tristen asked. “I’m sure they'd loved your assistance.”

“After what I side to them?” Sunset asked back. “I split them apart years ago.”

“And yet they're helping you in redeeming yourself.” Tristen shot back. “Sunset, everyone makes mistakes. And yes, we can't do anything to fix what we've done in the last.” Tristen explained, a soft smile forming. “A wise man once said: the past can't be changed, but the future can depending on whatever choices people make.”

Sunset smiled at the advice she was given. “Thanks, Tristen.” Sunset said with a blush. Tristen pats her on the back in response.
