Burst and his friends were practicing the next morning at school when Vice Principal Luna approached them. "Hello Burst. I'd like to ask you and your band something. It's about your previous arrangement for the finals."
"Next you're going to say: 'I thought it would be fun if we threw your band in as a last minute challenger!' ", Burst asked.
"I thought it would be fun if we threw your band in as a last minute challenger! Huh?", Luna gasped. "How did you know that?"
"You really want to use that Street Fighter sound effect don't you?", Burst asked with a small smile. " 'Here comes a new challenger!' Right?"
"....Yes. Please agree to this?", Luna asked.
"Sure. Could be fun! Just means we get saved for the best part!" As Luna left, Burst turned to the others. "Well guys it looks like we get to perform earlier than we thought."
"Good thing we practiced a lot. Nice song choice by the way Burst.", Gold said. "I think the crowd's going to freak when they hear it."
"Yeah they will! Alright guys! Bring it in!" The guys put their hands in. "ROCK THE DRAGON!" The next day, the Battle of the Bands was in full swing! Every group was putting everything they had into their performances! But no surprise, The Dazzlings were climbing their way up the ranks no problem! When it was time for The Rainbooms' first peformance, Rainbow Dash stole the show! And yet by some miracle, they still advanced! And it came as no shock that this caused some in-fighting in the band. This was just what The Dazzlings were hoping for! Taking advantage of the situation they were able to lock up the girls! Fortunately, Spike was able to get help from the one student who never took off her headphones. Vinyl Scratch. Burst and the guys heard what happened, and decided to check up on the girls.
"Man. Things are really getting crazy now.", Ace stated as he then looked at his watch. "And it's almost time for us to go on. Let's go!" The guys went back stage to get their instruments ready as Luna played the sound effect to announce their presence!
"HERE COMES A NEW CHALLENGER!" Trixie and her group wer confused at the last minute opponent as they went off the stage. The whole crowd was silent as Inferno started playing the guitar and Burst started to sing.
ONE PUUUUUUUNNCH!
Gold then started playing the bass while Ace started on the drums! As soon as the beat was set up, Burst continued the song. "3! 2! 1! Kill-shot! I'm here for fun! I'm number one! What're you saying? Frustration! No one can stop me! One punch! That's it! I always win! Listen to me! Victory again! POWER! Get more POWER! Last minute limit counting 3..2..1! HERO! Don't wanna hear you calling out my name! I'm not here for fortune of fame. HERO! Instead, I'll fight knowing nobody knows my name! My foes, are closing in and covering the sky! But I won't turn my back tonight! HERO! I'll stay! Until I taste the dirt of defeat someday! Unleash my fist! HEROOOOOOOO!" Burst took a break as his friends carried the next instrumental portion, and jumped right back in as the next verse was ready! "3! 2! 1! Fight back! Push on! Prepare! Fight fair and square! What's going on? All of my foes are gone! Let justice last! No questions asked! So give me the heart to cut through the dark and win! POWER! Get more POWER! Adrenaline is flowing through my brain! Power! Get more POWER! With discipline in every hour that I've trained! HERO! The tallest mountain started as a stone! I once was weak but now I've grown! HERO! I know, the weakness within is my greatest foe! Push on! The mortal man I used to be has died! There's gods inside my fist tonight! HERO! I'll stay! Until I taste the dirt of defeat someday! Unleash my fist! HEROOOOOO!" Inferno then took it away with a guitar solo! Burst then followed up with the next verse! "Unbreakable! Unyielding! Draw the future in my mind! No matter what the cost! At any day, or any time! Hero day and night! Soaring proud and high! HERO! Don't wanna hear you calling out my name! I'm not here for fortune or fame! HERO! Instead, I'll fight knowing nobody knows my name! Push on! The mortal man I used to be has died! There's gods inside my fist tonight! HERO! I'll stay! Until I taste the dirt of defeat someday! Unleash my fist! HEROOOOO! HEROOOOO! Ahhh...ahhh....ahhhh....ahhhh! I'm gonna be the strongest HEROOOO!" The whole crowd screamed as Burst and the guys finished! "THANK YOU ALL!", Burst said as he and his band mates took a bow. They left the stage and saw The Dazzlings take the stage. Soon they saw thenm transform from the adoration of the crowd! But thing changed when Twilight and the others showed up! With the help of Vinyl's car being a giant stereo system, they countered The Dazzlings with a song of their own! But soon The Dazzlings began to overpower The Rainbooms! It was then that Twilight knew what was missing!
"Sunset Shimmer! We need you!", Twilight pleaded! Sunset hesitated for a moment, and then joined Twilight and the other girls! Uniting with them unlocked the magic inside her! Together, the girls were able to defeat The Dazzlings and destroy their necklaces! With their necklaces destroyed, the former sirens also lost their voices and ran away! Ace, Veenus, and Fang noticed them and rushed after them!
"Sonata, wait!", Ace called as they caught up to them. Sonata turned to face him.
"Leave me alone Ace.", Sonata said sadly. "Everyone hates us, so why should we stay? There's no point."
"Yes there is! Sonata...please.", Ace pleaded. "I don't want to see you go. When you came into my life, I didn't feel so alone anymore. Please. I...I love you!" Sonata perked up and walked over to Ace.
"Can you really prove that?", Sonata asked with teary eyes. Ace leaned in and kissed her!
"Is that proof enough?", Ace asked as he pulled out of the kiss and wrapped his arms around her. Sonata smiled. "Maybe you've lost your singing voice, but I still hear your song in my heart." Meanwhile, Fang was talking to Aria.
"Fang. Just leave me alone. Why are you even bothering to stay with me?", Aria asked.
"Because I want to make you smile.", Fang said. "You said you didn't want to ruin what we had early, and I don't like seeing you unhappy. You're much prettier when you're smiling. Plus, rub my belly. You'll feel better." Fang then lay on his back. "Come on! You know you want to!" Aria was silent before she ran over and started rubbing Fang's belly! "AHAHAHHAH! Feel HAHAHAAH! Any better Aria?" Aria smiled as Fang got up and scratched his ears.
"Good boy.", she said as she hugged Fang. Veenus then approached Adagio.
"I guess you're going to try and convince me to stay right?', Adagio asked flatly.
"Nope. Leave if you want.", Veenus said. Adagio flipped out at hearing that!
"WHAT?! But this is supposed to be a dramatic moment when my love interest tries to convince me to stay!", Adagio freaked.
"You watch WAY too much television Adagio.", Aria said with a smirk.
"Still I don't mind being your love interest. I'd rather be your boyfriend though.", Veenus said with a smile. Adagio sighed.
"Fine. But if anyone asks you begged my to stay!", Adagio said with a pout.
"Well isn't this all so sweet...", a voice said. Ace turned to face the source of the voice, and found Ice! "Hey bro. Long time no see..."
