EquestriaBound Girls 2: The Journey for the Eight Magical Melodies

by Lucky Ness


Soccer Field (Rainbow's Sanctuary)

"So, where do we go next?" Rainbow says as the group leaves Sugar Cube Corner, after having made sure that Mrs. Cake would be alright.

"I feel like you're Sanctuary is next, Rainbow."

"Pinkie Sense?"

"Yep. I've got a feeling like we're supposed to go to a place with a black and white ball."

"That sounds like the soccer fields behind the school?"

"Wait, I'm confused. What's Pinkie Sense?" Paula asks.

"Pinkie here has a sort of sixth sense, which we call Pinkie Sense." Rainbow explains. "She get's these feelings that sort of allow her to tell the future."

"Like psychic premonitions?"

"Exactly."

"Well, let's go to the soccer fields, then. I think that's where we'll find the next Melody." Ness says.

-AT THE SCHOOL-

"Thank's for letting us take Applejack's truck this time, Ness." Twilight says as they arrive.

"You're welcome, Twilight." Ness looks down sheepishly as everyone except for Rainbow, who used her magic to run along side the truck, gets out of the truck. "I occasionally forget how disorienting PSI Teleport can be, after having used it so many times in my last adventure." Ness turns towards the school. "So the soccer fields are behind the school?"

"Yep," Rainbow replies, as she leads everyone towards around the school. "I spend an hour there practicing everyday after school."

The group had made it halfway to the building when they notice someone walking up towards.

"Hey, isn't that Scootaloo?" Pinkie asks.

Rainbow narrows her eyes to try to see better, then turns towards Pinkie. "Why yes it is, Pinkie. Good eye!" Rainbow turns back towards Scootaloo. "Hey Scootaloo? What are you doing up so early? The sun hasn't even come up yet."

"You shouldn't be here."

"I know it's not school hours, but . . . " Rainbow stops as she notices that Scootaloo is still in her pajamas. "Wait, why are you wearing pajamas?"

"Wasn't Mrs. Cake in a nightgown?" Twilight says as realization starts to dawn on her. "Wait! You don't suppose . . . "

"SHE"S UNDER GIYGAS"S INFLUENCE!" Pinkie screams in answer to Twilight's unfinished question.

"He, I guess I'll have to do this quick," Scootaloo says. "I can't let you get to those fields."

"Rainbow, you're magic is super speed, right?" Ness asks. Rainbow nods. "Then use your magic and run. We'll hold her off so you can get the Melody. We won't hurt her to much."

Rainbow starts to run, and Scootaloo tries to follow suit, but before she can get very far, she's stopped by a sudden combination of psychic energy from Ness and exploding sprinkles from Pinkie. Rainbow doesn't stop as Paula conjures a gust of freezing cold air that circles around Scootaloo. Jeff and poo join the fray shortly afterward, with Poo summoning a bolt of lightning and Jeff using his Sticky Machine to snare her in goo for a little while. This goes on for a short while before Scootaloo started screaming.

----

Rainbow arrives at the fields and walks towards the center of one of them. The moment she does, the stone in her pocket starts to play another portion of the full Melody. The stone absorbs the energy of the place, just as Scootaloo started screaming. Rainbow immediately runs back, to find Scootaloo laying on the ground face first.

"Is she alright."

"She will be, Rainbow. We just attacked until she collapsed. She's not unconscious. She's just asleep. She'll wake up in a little bit." Ness said.

True to his word, Scootaloo slowly stands up and looks around. "How'd I get here? Rainbow Dash! What are we doing at the soccer field this late at night?"

"Do you remember what happened?"

"No. I just woke up here."

"Let me explain."
