Sometime later, the finals of the Battle of the Bands just started, and Trixie and the Illusions are the first band to play. Trixie is wearing a special magician's outfit for the occasion while her friend are wearing the same outfits from before. As Trixie sings, her friends play along with their samplers.
Trixie Lulamoon:
Ya better believe
I got tricks up my sleeve
And I captivate
'Cause I'm powerful and grea-ea-eat
The Illusions:
Oh, whoa, oh-oh-oh-oh
Trixie Lulamoon:
Ya better believe
I got tricks up my sleeve
See me dominate
'Cause I'm powerful and grea-ea-eat
The Illusions:
Oh, whoa, oh oh oh oh
As Trixie and the Illusions are playing on stage with the audience watching, The Dazzlings are back stage waiting for Sun to bring the others. Even though they have faith in her, they wish she will hurry so she can help them with their major problem. Adagio and her sister are wearing special outfits for the finals, and really like the outfits in choice, but are still waiting for Sun and her fiends to come.
"I wonder where Sun is?" Sonata asks.
"Yeah, we're supposed to go on after Trixie and the Illusions," Aria adds.
"Don't worry girls, she'll be here and she'll bring the others too," Adagio says with reassurance.
She then worriedly mutters so her sister won't hear, "I hope she comes in time before we go on."
Luckily for The Dazzlings, Sun and her friends are close to the theater. After being dropped off at the parking lot, they gather their stuff and put them on the hill a little ways away from the theater. They also dressed up in the performance outfit, Rarity has made for them. After they finish with that, Sun and her friends run to go find The Dazzlings before they go on. The others are wondering why Sun is in a rush, and looking worried about something.
"Sun, why are we trying to hurry, it's going to ruin our outfits?" Rarity asks.
"Because if I'm right this, then Adagio and her sisters are in big trouble. I only hope I'm wrong," Sun answers.
After some time running to where the finals are, they go to the back of the stage to see if The Dazzling are around before they go on.
Rainbow see them waiting for their turn and calls out, "There they are!"
Then Sun calls out, "Adagio, Aria, Sonata!"
Adagio and her sisters her Sun calling them. They turn to see her with her friend heading towards them.
Sonata happily says, "Hey guys, you made it!"
"Yeah, and I brought the others with me too," Sun answers.
Then Applejack says, "Don't worry, Son told us what happened and we're going to do what we can to help you with this curse."
Adagio, Aria, and Sonata smile to hear it, and they are more than eager to help.
"Thanks," Adagio replies.
Sun comes up to Adagio and asks, "Adagio can I ask you something?"
"What is it?" Adagio replies.
"I remember you told me the sorceress, Black Stone was soon gone after he cast his spell," Sun says.
"Yes?" Adagio replies looking confused.
"When you said he was soon gone after that, when did he disappear?" Sun asks.
Adagio and her sister starts to think about it, and they soon remember when this happen.
Sonata answers, "You know, it was right after he put that curse on us, we have no clue where he went after that."
"We looked all over the kingdome and we have no clue where he went," Arai says.
"Or where he is now," Adagio adds.
"That's strange," Sun says, trying to think about it.
Sun then start to notice The Dazzlings eyes are giving a bright green glow, and their dependents are glowing a bright red color.
Sun notices this and says, "Your pendants are glowing a lot brighter than usual."
"Might be the effect of the negative energy we fed on you girls," Adagio suggests.
"Maybe," Sun says, looking suspicious about the pendants.
Sun is starting to worry about this, and is fearing her direction might be right. On stage, Trixie and the Illusions are on their final verse of the song.
Trixie Lulamoon:
Ya better believe
I got tricks up my sleeve
See me dominate
'Cause I'm powerful and grea-ea-eat!
When they finish with their verse, fireworks comes out from the back of the theater and laughs from the sky. Everyone in the audience cheer for them. Now it's The Dazzlings to give their final performance. As Trixie and the Illusions leave the stage, they show confident looks on their faces as they pass The Dazzlings.
"Try to top that," Trixie remarks with confidence.
"Oh gosh, I don't know if we can," Adagio says acting surprised, but really being sarcastic about it.
Then Adagio and her sisters laugh about it.
Sun giggles seeing this and asks with a smug on her face, "You wanted to say that, didn't you?"
"I sure did," Adagio replies.
With that The Dazzlings are ready to go on the stage to sing.
"Looks like it's your time to go one, be ready for this," Sun says.
"I'm ready, I only hope this works," Adagio replies.
"Me too," Sun says.
With that The Dazzling enter the stage. When the music start playing everyone are ready to listen to the next band. The Dazzling make their entrance, but Sun is starting to notice the negative energy from the audience are admitting into their pendants as the Dazzlings start to sing.
The Dazzlings:
Ahh, ah-ah, ahh
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Sun and her friends are starting to get scared from what is happening. Excluding Sun, the others are wondering what is going on.
"What's going on?!" Rainbow asks.
"Why are they still feeding on negative energy?" Fluttershy adds looking scared.
"Yeah. I'd figure getting our energy will keep them from feeding for a while," Rarity replies.
Sun scaredly says, "I was afraid of this, I think The Dazzlings are being controlled by their pendants."
"She's right, I saw the green glow from their eyes, and it's possible the sorcerer has been keeping an eye on them to be sure they feed on negative energy," Twilight specifies.
Then Falling Star says, "So this sorceror has bigger plans for them than just cursing them."
"Then we must hurry, we don't snap them out of it, they'll take control of everyone," Applejack says.
"Let's get to the hilltop. We're meeting Vinyl there," Sun informs.
With that, Sun and the others leave the stage and head back to the hilltop where they drop off their stuff. As they are setting up for their special counterspell, The Dazzling are still singing, and their music is captivating the audience into their music and spell.
The Dazzlings:
Ah-ha, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ha, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Adagio Dazzle:
Welcome to the show
Sonata Dusk and Aria Blaze:
Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah
Adagio Dazzle:
We're here to let you know
Sonata Dusk and Aria Blaze:
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Adagio Dazzle:
Our time is now
Sonata Dusk and Aria Blaze:
Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah
The Dazzlings:
Your time is running out
Sonata Dusk and Aria Blaze:
Ah, ah, ah
The Dazzlings:
Ah-ha, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah...
As The Dazzling are continuing their performance, Sun and her friends are at the hilltop with their outfits on and their instruments. They are hoping this place will be a perfect spot to play the spell, but are waiting for their assistance to arrive.
Then the girls hear someone calling out, "Hey Sun!"
The girls turn to see Vinyl Scratch riding in her car.
Sun happily days, "Vinyl, you made it,"
"Yep, and I brought my special car with me," Vinyl says as she push the button to her car.
The girls are shocked to see her car is transforming into a large d.j station, with speakers and lights. The girls are comply astonished by it. With quick plugging, and fixing up, they have everything ready to play the counterspell. On Stage, as The Dazzlings are singing, they are already casting their spell.
The Dazzlings:
Feel the wave of sound
As it crashes down
Red soundwaves are showing up in the sky and back down towards everyone in the audience. Now everyone are under their spell.
The Dazzlings:
You can't turn away
We'll make you wanna sta-a-a-ay
Just then the pendants grow so bright that a light appears in the area.
The Dazzlings:
We will be adored
Then the Dazzlings are being lifted in the air and the pendants and magic start to transform the Dazzlings
The Dazzlings:
Tell us that you want us
Sonata gain pony like ears on her head and a long extended hair.
The Dazzlings:
We won't be ignored
Arai also has the same transformations Sonata has.
The Dazzlings:
It's time for our reward
Then Adagio gains the ear and long extened hair as well.
The Dazzlings:
Now you need us
Come and heed us
And for the finishing transformation. Adagio and Aria gain purple transparent wings while Aria gain a greenish blue transparent wings. Now their transformation is complete and their power fully restored.
The Dazzlings:
Nothing can stop us now
As they finish the version of the song, they are interrupted to hear someone playing loud music over theirs.
The Rainbooms:
Oh-oh, oh-whoa-oh
I've got the music in me
Oh-oh, oh-whoa-oh
The Dazzling look on the hill top to see The Rainbooms are the one playing the music. Of course they know it must be the counterspell.
Twilight Sparkle:
Don't need to hear a crowd
Cheering out my name
As Twilight sings, everyone including The Dazzlings are snapping out of the spell.
Twilight Sparkle:
I didn't come here seeking
Infamy or fame
The Rainbooms:
The one and only thing
That I am here to bring
Is music, is the music
Everyone in the audience are enjoying the song and The Rainbooms.
The Rainbooms:
Is the music in my soul
Gonna break out (Out!)
Applejack gain her pony ears and tail, but has a red streak along with the transformation.
The Rainbooms:
Set myself free, yeah
Rarity transform with her ears and tail, but has a blue and pink streak along with it.
The Rainbooms:
Let it all go (Go!)
Just let it be, yeah
Fluttershy spins herself as she plays her tambourine and transform. She gains wings, pony ears and extended hair with purple and bright green streak.
The Rainbooms:

Rainbow Dash shreds as she plahy her guitar and transform with her ears, wings and rainbow extended tail. Pinkie Pie plays her drums as she gain her pony ears and extended puffy tail with purple and blue streaks.
The Rainbooms:
Let the music make you start
Sun and Twilight also transform with their pony ears, alicorn wings, and extended hair, but Twilight also gain a bright blue streak.
To set yourself apart
With all of them transformed they have the magic to break the spell and save everyone including the Dazzlings. However, The Dazzlings admit green glow from their eyes, and are about to do another trick.
"So the Rainbooms want to turn this into a real Battle of the Bands? Then let's battle!" Adagio remarks.
With that The Dazzlings star to sing their hypnotic music again.
The Dazzlings:
What we have in store (ah-ah)
All we want and more (ah-ah)
We will break on through (ah-ah)
As they sing, everyone in the audience has also fallen under their spell again, and the magic is only getting stronger.
The Dazzlings:
Now it's time to finish you!
Singing that finals versus, The Dazzlings eyes become bright read and their pendants release this magical dark energy. Using the magic they contain, The Dazzling creates their true siren versions of themselves in the sky. The Rainboom are shocked to see this event, and the Dazzling sends the sirens after them. The sirens surround the The Rainbooms waiting for the moment to attack. Sun, Twilight, and The others are still stunned to see this happening.
Twilight and Sun look to see the Dazzlings are starting to make their move and attack them. Vinyl puts the setting on her d.j system, and The Rainbooms begin playing music and rainbow music waves cause the sirens to scatter. Rarity plays her keytar and makes diamond appar and hit the purple siren. Fluttershy plays the tambourine making pink butterflies shoot to the blue sirens.
Sun and Twilight sings and makes stars and appear and are heading to the yellow sirens. Adagio grits her teeth in anger, and the yellow sirens sings out loud sending a red music wave stopping the magic from reaching her. The other two join in and are singing with music waves pushing The Rainbooms down. Finally the music waves knock them over and Twilight drops the microphone on the ground, rolling to Falling Star's feet. The Dazzlings are preparing to do another attack, and it looks hopeless for The Rainbooms. Sun then realizes what is going on, and they need help. She look to see Falling Star, and knows just waht to do.
Sun calls out, "Falling Star, we need you!"
Falling Star is shocked to hear this, and still very afraid to go on stage. On the other hand she knows her friends needs her. Since Rarity has made her the a black and pink striped blouse, with a red skirt, black tights, and black boots, Falling Star is glad to have the outfit now. She comes over to the friends, and hoping to help. Vinyls set the drum beating, and Falling Star starts to sing her heart.
Falling Star:
You're never gonna bring me down
You're never gonna break this part of me
My friends are here to bring me 'round
Not singing just for popularity
Falling Star help Sun and Twilight get up, and wants them to be by her side. The is really starting to annoyed the Dazzlings.
Sun, Falling Star, and Twilight Sparkle:
We're here to let you know
That we won't let it go
Along with The three singing, The others start to play their instruments as she sing.
The Rainbooms:
Our music is a bomb and it's about to blow
Sun, Falling Star, and Twilight Sparkle:
And you can try to fight
But we have got the light of
As they singing, the sirens form starts to charge at them with full force.
The Rainbooms:
Friendship on our side!
They think play their hearts and friendship out to everyone in the audience.
The Rainbooms:
Got the music in our hearts
We're here to blow this thing apart
As they perform, they unleash a stronger magical waver pushing the sirens back. It hits the audience and the Dazzlings, causing the audience to snap out of the spell.
The Rainbooms:
And together, we will never
Be afraid of the dark
The wave even snap The Dazzling out of the spell as well.
The Rainbooms:
Here to sing our song out loud
Just then Falling Star is being lifted up in the air and glowing a bright red color.
The Rainbooms:
Get you dancing with the crowd
Falling Star then gains pony ears, just like The Rainbooms.
The Rainbooms:
As the music of our friendship
Then Falling Star feels the Magic of Friendship, and gaining and extended ponytail too.
The Rainbooms:
Survives, survives!
With The Magic of Friendship having more power, the seven friends glow their original color and lifted to at Falling Star's side.
All:
Got the music in our hearts
We're here to blow this thing apart
And together, we will never
Be afraid of the dark
The magic within each of the eight friends form together and are forming into something amazing, and then it sprouts wings. Soon everyone starts to sing along with The Rainbooms.
All:
Here to sing our song out loud
Get you dancing with the crowd
As The Dazzlings regain themselves, they see that the counterspell is working. As they look, they are surprised to see a giant alicorn with eight colored streaks in the sky.
All:
As the music of our friendship
Survives, survives, survives!
With that, The magical alicorn uses The Magic of Friendship to blast the sirens causing them to disappear, and The Dazzlings. The Dazzlings are stunned to feel the magic, but mostly their pendants. The magic is so strong that it causes their pendants to shatter into pieces. When everything is clear, everyone including The Rainbooms can see The Dazzlings are on the ground and they look fine. The Three sister rub their heads since they have a full force of the blast. When the are better, they can see their pendants are broken, but their pendants are still glowing.
"Our pendants… " Adagio says looking shocked.
"They broke!" Sonata replies.
"I doubt the curse is supposed to break like that," Arai adds.
Sun runs to The Dazzlings and see they are fine, but can see the pendants glow. Just then, Sun is starting to see them reacting, and is fearing the worst.
Sun screams to warn them"Girls, get out of the way!"
Hearing Sun, and see the pendants reacting, The Dazzlings run to Sun and want and explanation. Sun just lead them to where her friends are. Just then the pendants unleash a magical blast. Then the magic remains in the pendants leave them, and is starting to take on a different form. Everyone, including The Rainbooms and Dazzling gasp in shock seeing this.
The magic from the pendants transformed into a strange man on the stage. The man has silver hair, black skin, and bright red eyes, and bright red transparent wings on his back. The man is wearing a black cloak, and has a large black orb with a bright red crystal in his hands. The man makes a dark merpony form appear in the sky. The merpony has the same black skin, and bright red eyes, and the Black orb with a red crystal inside on his chest, but looks very evil.
The Dazzlings gasp in fear recognizing the merpony form in the sky and scaredly says, "Black Stone!"
Sun, Twilight, and all of their friends gaps in horror hearing the name. This is the same merpony who cursed The Dazzlings long ago, and now he finally make an appearance in this world. Now that he is here, he is able to go on his plans. It looks like the Battle of the Bands is not fully over until they take this sea sorceror out for good.
