Chapter 10: Sisters United
Human Diamond Tiara tried to hide from the Pony Sweetie Belle, but she soon found herself face to face with the talking pony.
"Please don't be alarmed Diamond Tiara, I'm not going to hurt you," Pony Sweetie Belle said kindly.
"What do you want and how is it you know my name? Oh wait, let me guess, did Sweetie Belle over there gloat to you about how I lost my only friend, and that I lost the talent show?"
Pony Sweetie Belle shook her head, "no she didn't. I know your name cause you look like my friend back home."
"I'm actually friends with you losers? I refuse to believe that."
"Well you better believe it, and she actually found a way for me to get home. The only problem is that Dark Soul over there is blocking my only way home, not to mention he's opened up the portal for King Sombra, who unless stopped, will appear shortly."
"And that should concern me why?"
"Because he will hurt everyone and destory the beauty of your world." Human Diamond Tiara groaned at the thought of her world being destoryed. Pony Sweetie Belle continued; "I know you don't want that to happen Diamond Tiara, so that's why I've come over here. To ask you for your help."
"I don't help losers!" came the blunt reply.
"That's your mother talking, not you. For years, she's been telling you of how to act, when really you want to change for the better don't you? The only problem is, you just don't know how to change."
At first Diamond Tiara denied wanting to change, but soon had to admit the truth, "I do want to change, and have lots of friends, but my mother says that I should not hang out with lower class fools."
Pony Sweetie Belle rolled her eyes, "believe me, it was the same back in Equestria, that was until we helped our Diamond Tiara to see the true meaning of her life."
"And what would that be?"
"To help others in any way she can, and you can do the same too. My friends over there won't be able to keep Sombra away and stop Dark Soul from attacking again..." she paused and both looked to see the five young girls dodging every one of Dark Soul's attacks, "but with your help, we too can show Dark Soul what sisters can do when they stand together."
"Sisters? I'm not related to them."
"It's like Scootaloo said, we're all like sisters, and like real sisters, we always help each other, no matter what the situation. So what do you say Diamond Tiara, will you help us?"
"I..." but then, her phone rang. She pulled it out of her purse and groaned, it was her mother calling. She had no choice, she had to answer. "Hello mother."
"Diamond Tiara, I'm not threw talking with you yet. Get yourself back over here this instant, and don't talk to any of those low lives!"
"Are you really going to listen to her?" asked Pony Sweetie Belle.
Human Diamond Tiara was silent for a moment, even with her mother screaming at her. Finally she placed the phone next to her ear and said; "mother, I will not be returning just yet, I have a world to save."
"What are..." but she was cut off as Diamond Tiara shut her phone off and stuffed it back into her purse.
"Right then, follow me," smiled Pony Sweetie Belle.
Together, they ran back to their friends.
Rainbow Dash and Applejack got up and ran into the school to check on Rarity. She had cuts and bruises, but apart from those, she was alright, "where's my sister?" she asked weakily.
"Right now, she's trying to keep from getting hurt," said Rainbow Dash.
They all looked outside to see the attacks continue.
"I hope Sunset and Princess Twilight get up soon," added Applejack, "otherwise we'll be in more hot water than a pig on a summer's day."
Together, the two girls led Rarity back out to the front of the school. Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie helped Principal Cinch to a nearby bench and gave her ice for her bruises.
Slowly, Sunset and Princess Twilight got up.
"Are you two alright?" asked Spike the Dog.
"Yes we're fine Spike," groaned Sunset, "but that Dark Soul packs a punch. What about you Princess? Are you alright?"
"Yeah I'm fine," she groaned. She then saw the five young girls continue to dodge the attacks. "Come on, we got to help them. We'll deal with the portal in a minute."
Sunset nodded and getting to their feet, they charged in together at Dark Soul.
"You two just don't know when to give up do you?" snapped Dark Soul and fired more attacks at them.
The distraction allowed the five young girls to get to the stairwell of the school for a breathing break. Some were injuried, having been hit by flying clumps of dirt and small energy blasts.
"Okay, so saving the world is not easy," groaned Scootaloo, "but he can't win. Baddies never win."
"Scootaloo, this isn't the movies, this is real life," said Apple Bloom. "And I hate to say this, but it looks like Dark Soul is going to win. Maybe it won't be so bad to live as a prisoner."
"That's not going to happen!" cried a voice.
They all looked and saw Pony Sweetie Belle running back with Human Diamond Tiara behind her.
"What's she doing here?" Scootaloo asked angerily, "she's caused enough trouble already."
Human Diamond Tiara looked down sadly to the ground. Pony Sweetie Belle was quick to defend her, "she just needs to be shown how to act differently, then you'll see just how good of a friend she can be."
"I'm willing to try and be a friend, if you'll let me," added Human Diamond Tiara.
The small group went silent as they thought it over. Finally human Sweetie Belle broke the vow of silence, "I say let's give it a try. After all, like real sisters, friends don't turn their backs on each other."
Hearing that, the other girls agreed to give it a try.
Meanwhile, both Princess Twilight and Sunset Shimmer were unleashing a power attack at Dark Soul, but he was able to keep the attack from hitting him. Worst still, there was a groaning sound coming from the portal, which meant King Sombra would soon arrive.
"You're too late girls, this world will belong to the greatest king of them all; King Sombra," cackled Dark Soul.
"Not Today Dark Soul!" shouted human Sweetie Belle. She and all her friends, along with Pony Sweetie Belle, stood together with firm looks on their faces. "This world is not yours for the taking."
Dark Soul laughed, "is this really the best you can do? Six little girls and a filly unicorn, how pathetic."
He lifted up his left arm and fired a blast right at them, just as Rainbow Dash and Applejack helped Rarity out of the school. They saw the explosion hit them all.
"NNNOOOO!" cried Rarity.
Dark Soul smirked, "that's seven less pains in the neck to deal with." He cackled with laughter, but then stopped when saw that they had been protected by a ball of energy.
"Hey, that's just like what happened when we first met Princess Twilight," smiled Rainbow Dash.
"The magic of friendship is with them too," added Rarity.
She was right. They did have the magic of Friendship within them, which saved them all, and like Princess Twilight and her Canterlot High friends before, these six girls also gained pony ears and tails.
"It's not possible," gasped Dark Soul. But then he saw King Sombra coming towards the portal, "it's too late though, nothing will stop us!"
"We'll see about that!" shouted human Sweetie Belle.
Suddenly, she was engulfed in light. Energy from her friends, her sister and the rest of the Canterlot High group, even Spike the Dog, went towards the light.
"What's happening to her?" asked Babs Seed in shock.
"She's transforming, like Sunset and Twilight," said Diamond Tiara.
She was correct. When the light faded, human Sweetie Belle reappeared in an outfit that looked similar to Sunset and Princess Twilight's outfits, only her's was in light blue and had song note patterns. There was even a flower in her hair and she had wings, provided by the energies of Rainbow Dash, Scootaloo and Fluttershy.
Pony Sweetie Belle used her magic and lifted herself up till she was sitting on human Sweetie Belle's shoulders.
"What do you say we put a stop to this madness?" she asked her human counterpart.
"Sounds good to me. First things first, we need to shut that portal."
"Agreed."
They flew towards the portal. Dark Soul could see this and tried to stop them, but was attacked by Sunset and Princess Twilight, "We'll hold him back!" they cried, "do what you have to do girls!"
Both Sweetie Belles nodded and focusing their energies, they fired a powerful blast at the portal. However the attack did more than make it shrink, it actually attacked King Sombra too.
"NNNOOOOO!" he shouted as he was forced back.
The portal itself got smaller and smaller until it completely disappeared.
Dark Soul was horrified. He fired an attack to fight off Sunset and Princess Twilight, then flew over towards the two Sweetie Belle's. "You stopped the great King Sombra from coming here, you'll pay for this."
"Not before you pay for everything you have done!" shouted Pony Sweetie Belle.
"This is for our friends and families," added Human Sweetie Belle.
They combined their magic together and unleashed it at Dark Soul. He fired back, but his energy was almost gone and he was losing to them.
Down the road, Spoiled Rich and Flithy Rich were on their way to deal with Diamond Tiara when they saw what was going on. Spoiled could see Diamond Tiara looking up at the fight, "right, that girl is going to be sorry for hanging up on me."
But her husband stopped her, "stay out of this Spoiled," he said firmly.
Most of the city by now could see the light show, even the Dazzlings could see it. And for once, they were in support of the heroes, "who needs King Sombra here anyways?" they muttered agmost themselves.
The energy blast got to be too strong for Dark Soul to hold back. It hit him hard and sent him flying towards the ground.
When the light died away, there was Dark Soul in a hole in the ground, in pain and defeated. Human Sweetie Belle flew back down to the ground where her magic faded and she returned to her normal form. She was feeling quite weak though and nearly fell back, but was caught by none other than human Diamond Tiara.
"I got you my friend."
She then helped human Sweetie Belle to the steps where she was cheered to the echo by all her friends, and pretty much the whole town. Except for Spoiled Rich, who stormed up to her daughter.
"Diamond Tiara, how many times have I told you not to meddle with these low-lives? You are coming home right now where you will be punished."
She turned to walk away, thinking she had made her point, but stopped when she heard, "no mother!" she turned back in shock. "These are no low-lives, they are my best friends and they're heroes. Without them, we would've been conquered by an evil pony just now."
"What nonsense."
"It's not nonsense," said Pony Sweetie Belle. Spoiled Rich jumped in shock, "King Sombra's dark magic is very much real, and your daughter just helped stop it from hurting everyone here."
"That's right," nodded Silver Spoon.
"You shut it, I never liked you!"
"Oh be quiet mother!" snapped Human Diamond Tiara. "I will not allow you to insult my friends anymore, now you will apologize to them, then you will go home without me. I'll be home presently."
At first, Spoiled Rich didn't do anything, but with everyone staring at her, she gave in and apologized.
Dark Soul meanwhile had gotten up from the hole, smoke still hissing from him. By now, his nose was bleeding and he had little energy left, but he still had an evil smirk on his face.
"This fight ain't over fools," he called out loud. Everyone looked to him, "I still have the ingrediants list to make more dark potions, and I have one more vile with me. We will keep going at this again and again until finally, victory and vengenance will be mine."
He would soon regret gloating as it distracted him from noticing both Silver Spoon and Diamond Tiara run to him, snatch the vile and list, and handing them over to Princess Twilight and Sunset Shimmer.
"Give them back!" snapped Dark Soul.
"Sorry Dark Soul, but these are too dangerous," said Sunset. She dropped the vile and it burst open. Luckily Pony Sweetie Belle conceiled the red cloud with her magic until it vanished. Princess Twilight meanwhile tore up the list into a few dozen pieces. "You were saying?"
"No!" cried Dark Soul. But then he smirked, "I still remember the ingrediants, so I'll just create another list, and then I'll..."
But he never finished as a rock hit in the head and he fell back into the hole. The rock had been kicked by none other than Spike the Dog. "Way to go Spike!" cheered Human Twilight.
"Well I do have my moments," he smiled.
Dark Soul got up again, and groaned, "drat it! I can't remember the ingrediants anymore!"
Everyone sighed in relief, then they all heard another sound. Pony Sweetie Belle looked up to her human counterpart, "what's that sound?" she asked curiously.
"That would be the police."
