This story is a sequel to Flash Sentry, Defender of the Peace S5
It's time for the Friendship Games and CHS is ready to compete against their rival school of Crystal Prep. But the competition isn't enough for some, as certain familiar faces are working to discover the secrets of magic. And with all things at CHS, this is only the beginning of trouble.

As I always am...FIRST
Sweet first entry into Friendship Games here, Sci-Twi looks a bit more outgoing interacting with EQG Flash here (plus just as manipulative as Twilight's S1 & S2 from your main series )
Also seems like Lightning may appear next chapter, looking forward to see how that goes for Sunset (even though she might not )
Some small highlights :
Ohhh lots of ribbing material for you there girl!
lol works better than bending his ear ehh?
Wow that was low Sci-Twi..................................brilliant!
Oh boy, can't wait to see how that goes!
Looking forward to see what changes come out from here on, keep up the good work Banshee!
Oh boy, this is going to be good. I like the interactions between the human versions of Flash and Twilight so far. Also, I can't wait to see the Human Royal Knights reactions when they meet the new Flash. Hopefully Pinkie will be able to explain it to them like she explained the human Twilight to everyone in the film.
I'm curious about the Human Lightning Blitz. The first EG story seemed to hint that he was kinda a jerk like his S1 pony version was, which was why he dated Sunset, but his cameo at the end of Rainbow Rocks shows he is friends with Flash and Twilight. So maybe they really were a good influence on him like Grand said. Also, I bet running into Sunset, his ex, at the games will be funny, unless he still holds a grudge against her for what she did to him.
I love the idea that Sci-Twi trained Spike to give sad puppy eyes on command, specifically to guilt-trip Flash.
Well it's a start... that's all I can say, it's a start.
A story not disliked by Flash Haters...Foxhelm was right, it's a start.
i'm making my own version that is inspired by both this series and the "Sun's Equestria Girls Adventures" series with an Anime Crossover to boot

Not quite what I meant...
This is an awesome start to your version of Friendship Games! Though I was honestly hoping that Flash Sentry's next epic adventure would've been next.
I'm wondering how Springer would fit in the EQG universe.
10068066
Honestly it felt mediocre...
10068091
Well if it is the same as in Banshee's Power Rangers series, then Springer would probably be a stray dog that Flash adopts as a pet.
This was unexpectedly fun. You know, I kinda feel bad that the Knights won't be in the second event. They really added to the chapter.
10068169
Never asked or requested your negative response.
I really want there to be a wedding arc in this fic.
10068569 If Flash and Twilight do get married, it won't be until near the end of the series.
10068575
That going to take long time.
10068670 Well what do you expect. Last I checked, you've gotta date someone for a while before marriage is even considered.
10068246
Mediocre means middle of the road, it's neither negative or positive
10068674
Good point
10068054
Its a start for a change.
10068674
One more thing out of curiosity what do mean near the end? Do you mean
1. During the movie
2. Between the movie and season 8
3. Season 8
4.between 8 and 9
5. Season 9
10068972 Maybe around 8 and 9, maybe even after. Heck, who says Flash and Twilight are even gonna stay together or that Flash survives long enough for them to get married.
10068977
Well if your going to have them married in season 8 you could have Flash propose to Twilight at the end of the movie and please don't kill off Flash.
10068977
Oh come on! Don't do that to us! Canon has already denied us, and you teased us for four whole seasons before you finally made it happen. If this relationship doesn't make it for the long haul, I'm drowning you in crying Rarity emojis.
10068977
We all know you Banshee, if you are writing a story, it always includes:
1) Flash being protagonist
2) Happy Endings
3) FlashLight Shipping
4) Family
So in that case, Flash Sentry will survive. If anyone asked why I included family, is that every story Banshee has made includes: Scootaloo (Sister) Misty Veil (Mother) Trail Blazer (Father).
But the pokemon version of Flash Sentry has his parents dead. Yet he still has his grandma, so it still counts as Family.
10069621
The happy endings are my favorite part of Banshee's stories, of any story really.
10069627 Just because a main character dies, that doesn't mean there isn't a happy ending. Just look at all the great films where the character dies. Rogue One, Batman V Superman, League of Extraordinary-I'm gonna stop talking.
10069634
Yeah, I've only seen two of those movies and liked only one of them.
10068977
10069634
Personally, I really hope that Flash doesn't die, since you know Flashlight is my favorite ship and I want to see the two of them have a happy life together. But I know it is your story and I'm confident you know what you are doing. Pretty sure no matter what happens you'll make it a happy ending.
10069779
He's not gonna die. When have you read any story made by Banshee, that ends with Flash dying. Plus I only read one story of FlashLight in which Flash died in the end.
Sorry for the late review but wow. I'm glad we saw Flash trying to stop Twi. I can't wait to see everyones reactions to Flash Twi and Lightning, and that mystery girl. I hope maybe there is a music competition that will have the royal knights vs Flash Lightning and maybe some other. Who knows maybe we can even get Wild here and we may have Pinkie and him do some small fliriting. Anyway great job.
Yeah, doesn't having Flash legally be Twilight's brother kinda complicate this relationship (long dramatic pause) A LOT? Then again, depending on the edition, Victor and Elizabeth had a similar relationship in the original Frankenstein, so maybe it could still work.
Also, the part where Flash and Twilight first meet just reeks of NaruHina. I LOVE IT!
10079459 It's no different from how pony Flash and Twilight grew up.
Interesting...if his physique is quite true, it maybe because of the Sacred Light keeping him active, but the real question is, how is this Flash capable of obtaining Sacred Light on a world that defies magic, and only items are capable of giving power?
Word of advice, hit them in the nuts, and blind them by kicking the snow to their faces, while blinded, punch them on the adams apple.
Oofed....your chapters getting short.
And having him not be an orphan isn't an option why? Also, what's his parents excuse for leaving him in an orphanage in this universe? Unless Misty and Trail are horrible people in this universe, I can't imagine them just abandoning their children without a reason. Heck, with the way you write the other characters reacting to them in the main AU, Misty and Trail probably already are horrible people by their standards.
10079467 I might have to answer that in a short or something.
10079460
True, but don't most adoptees get creeped out with the idea of being romantically attracted to/involved with an adopted sibling? I wouldn't know. I only have one point of reference for that kind of scenario.
10079460
Also, I just did a quick Google search, and in most parts of the world, it is both legally and religiously prohibited to marry or have a romantic relations with an adopted sibling. Yeah. So, now what?
10079476
Biological parents...? If his parents came this comes out:
10079479
Convenient.
10079476 Don't see why. No blood relation, so it shouldn't be any different from stepsiblings getting married.
10079488
I don't know how family law works, but apparently, adopted siblings are counted as full blood siblings (despite sharing no blood) while step-siblings aren't. Don't quote me on this, but I think it's because adoptees are raised to think of and treat their adopted parents as if they're their blood parents and are usually raised to think of their parents' biological children the same way.
10079488
Now that I think about it, I think family law is less about the siblings' relation to each other versus their relationships to the parents. I mean, even though stepparents are legal guardians, they still have to legally adopt their stepchildren in order to have the full legal benefits of a biological parent.
10079515 I just looked it up and it says an adopted child can't marry their parents, but can marry any other member of the family.
10079519
Yeah, well, adopted siblings marrying is definitely illegal here in the States, but I think Colorado might have a loophole that would make it allowable. Also, kissing cousins is illegal over here too.
10079530 Alright. Then Flash wasn't adopted. He was...fostered.
10079476
while I can't explain the legality, I think part of the reason why siblings by adoption can't marry, religiously (at least from a somewhat anthropological and sociological view), is due to the potential of incest, as back when the religions that have this prohibition were established the odds were that a man would adopt and formally legitimist his own illegitimate children (bastards), also we have to recall that these cultures weren't just patriotically but patrimonial, meaning that things passed through the father's lines, and adopted children marrying biological children, were likely to be viewed as usurpations. Additionally given that marriages were more akin to business transactions, if your biological daughter were to marry your adopted son, there are a lot of things denied to her, your family, and all potential in-laws. Also it should be noted that we currently live in an era of abnormal abundance, which historically didn't exist, and to have your biological children marry your adopted children, cuts you and your family off from the great community, during a time when entire villages, even if everyone was on the same page and were in harmony with one-an-other, could easily be wiped out.
In other words, we need to look at the time and context of when the more religious based laws were composed to see why.
Also it could have been a way to signify that those that follow the religion will no and do engage in what can only be described as hedonistic practices of the cultures around them that tend to suffer from certain societal or personal aliments. A sort of, 'Hey you see those people and how they behave and all the hedonism, and look at all their dead from the last plaque or how sickly their children are... yeah we're not going to behave like them.'
As soon as I read this, I thought of this seen,
(go to the 8 minute mark)
I am so glad Ruby is not putting up with Flash's B.S.
because there is nothing that he can say, because Ruby is right.
I wished you used the blopper of this scene, it gives Cinch some much needed depth.
Given what've seen, Canterlot High is the local public school, which shows that the transfer of funding point in kind of hallow, but given Crystal Preps' reputation, if it were to lose to the local public school which only needs the students to score like 65 out of 100 on a national, state, county, muninpal, and city level... and Crystal Prep is presented to be scoring at least 85 out of 100 by their own, much higher standards... well I can see the funds drying up. As for Cinch's other comment, while the Everton Independent Study program might be an independent study program, part of that is working with others and Sci-Twi doesn't have much skill in that department, and given Crystal Prep's reputation, one can assume that the vast majority of the Everton Independent Study program's top performers came from Crystal Prep, the vast majority of them during Cinch's tenure as principle, as such, while she's not the decision maker, her recommendation does have a not unfound amount of clout in the Everton Independent Study program acceptance process.
Also, as a private school, there isn't the safety net of Tax-payers dollars to fall to, so when funding is denied, costs have to be cut. There is a business aspect that almost no one thinks about.
Love the exchange between Ruby and Flash, she's clearly had this talk with him before and is just about done with it as she states that he won't think about it and that once (if) Sci-Twi was accepted into the Everton Independent Study program, because he's defined himself as like her bodyguard, because he's a mediocre academic student and not part of any clubs or teams, he'll have no purpose. Gonna be honest, if I was in Ruby's slippers () I'd given up on Flash at least a year ago, only to say 'I told you so' after Sci-Twi leaves for the Everton Independent Study program.
My only grip is that the blooper of the chair spinning scene should have been used, would have made Cinch more agreeable at face value, and once Twilight was a lone with her, really hammer in that she's not a woman to mess with.
Flash kinda reminds me of Yukito (Cardcaptor Sakura), he always helped out on any sport team at school but never joined, at least Ruby pretty much made her point across regarding him & Sci-Twi. As for Cinch I can see you made her even more of a witch holding Flash for ransom (so to speak) for getting him & Sci-Twi into the games, can't wait to see this bite her later.
Some highlights for this one :
lol you know you're in trouble when even Spike won't come near you Sci-Twi!
Ouch, right to the point there Ruby!
Yeah, that's not gonna be pretty!
Yeah, subtle Cinch, really subtle!
Looking forward to see how our unwilling duo handle CHS next chapter!
