The Next day:
The day is windy and cloudy and today is the final event of the Friendship Games. The problem is that Principal Cinch including the students of Crystal Prep are convinced that Canterlot High is cheating.
The Crystal Prep Sunset is with her classmates, Principal and friends waiting for the games to be done and looking at her device. She is still thinking about what happened and tried to figure out how to get the magic out of the device and dispose it.
While the Equestrian Sunset is on the other side of the front the lawn of the school with her friends. She can't stop think about what she witnessed yesterday. Especially since she feels awful for what she said to her counterpart. She also thinks it will be a good idea to expose herself and tell her who she really is.
On the front doors of the school Principal Celestia, Vice Principal Luna, and Dean Chrysalis are making sure everything is ready for the last event of the games.
Celestia comes up to the microphone and says, "Since the score is tied, the last event will determine the winner of the Friendship Games. The last event is a game called Capture the Flag."
Then Luna comes up to the microphone and says, "Somewhere on campus, a pennant flag from each school has been hidden. The first on to find it and bring it back wins."
Then Chrysalis come to the microphone and says, "And as soon our teams are ready, we'll begin."
At the left side of the school:
The Equestrian Sunset and her friends are waiting for the final event of the Friendship Games to start, but after the second even they are too concern about what happened.
Fluttershy sadly says, "I don't feeling playing these games anymore."
But Rainbow Dash upsetly says, "But we have to play, this is the last event."
"It's very hard to focus with the magic stealing and the portal openings," Rarity explains and feeling upset about it.
The girls turn to see Sunset looking at her human counterpart feeling upset and deep in thought about something.
Fluttershy comes up to Sunset worriedly asks, "Sunset are you okay?"
"It's… it's about my human counterpart," Sunset replies very sadly.
"Sunset? What did you find out?" Rainbow Dash asks curiously.
That when Sunset starts to cry and says, "I found out more about that Sunset and it's awful. My human counterpart lost her parents."
"Lost? What do you mean?" Pinkie asks sadly and confusedly.
"I mean they died, they're dead. I followed her yesterday and she went to her parents' grave," Sunset explains sounding very upset.
The gasp in horror of the news they received. They have no idea that her human counterpart had that kind of problem.
"That's horrible," Rarity replies feeling like she's about to cry.
"But she seems so nice," Fluttershy says with a shock.
"I know and I feel really awful for what I said to her like that," Sunset says feeling very guilty.
"Especially she didn't mean for all this to happen," Fluttershy replies sadly.
The girls look at Sunset sadly and there is something that they are curious about.
"But how does Principal Cinch and Dean Chrysalis had anything to do with it?" Applejack asks.
"Dean Chrysalis is raising her and she and Principal Cinch decide to watch over her until she's ready to take care of herself," Sunset explains.
"Apparently what I heard her said, they been friends with her mother and they competed in the Friendship Games when they were our age," Sunset adds.
"That must the reason why Principal Cinch and her daughter are attached to her," Pinkie suggests.
"Gosh I had no idea your counterpart had that problem, but at least she has the girls that care for her to watch out for her," Rarity replies sadly.
Then Applejack goes to Sunset as she says, "Let's get through this event and prove we're not a bunch of cheaters. Then you can go over and apologize."
At the other side of the school:
Sunset human counterpart, her classmates, and her principal are waiting for the Friendship Games to start. Principal Cinch is talking to the contestants about what happened yesterday and what they should do about it. The Human Sunset listen in on the conversation and her cat is hiding in the bush hoping to get herself in trouble and listen in of the situation.
PRincipal Cinch explains, "I know I'm asking you to beat a team who isn't playing fair, but Canterlot High needs to understand that even with magic at their disposal beating Crystal Prep is simply not an option."
"What if they grow wings again?" Sugar Coat asks.
"Fair question, but I believe we can now fight fire with fire," Principal Cinch says then comes to Sunset who is holding her device looking a bit worried.
Sunset then looks at her principal looking a bit worried and still holding on to her device. Then Principal says to Sunset, "I see what your device can do Sunset. Collecting magical energy is fine, but have you consider releasing it."
"But I'm still trying to figure out how it work," Sunset explains scared and worried about what happened yesterday and still trying to figure it out herself.
"But you still want to," Principal cinch replies. Even though Sunset does want to learn about the magic she collected, but she thinks it might be too dangerous.
Then Principal Cinch says, "And since our opponents have used it, I see no reason why shouldnt do the same."
Sunset starts to get scared that her principal and friends wants her to do something that might be beyond her control. She think trying to explain to them will make them change their minds. Sunset says, "But if we use magic wouldn't that be just as bad?"
"Maybe so, but if they are going to use magic then we should use it too," Principal Cinch firmly explains.
The Principal Cinch decides to persuade her into doing it. She says. "Unless of course you have no interest in Everton. Though honestly, I think there's more knowledge pack in that little device than any classes that Everton can offer."
Sunset looks at her device and realize that it's true she can learn more about magic. Principal Cinch starts walking towards her and sings.
I know that you've never been an outcast
It's not everyone at school who likes to think
To find a student that's like you
I've had one or maybe two
But the good ones disappear before I blink
Then She walks back to the students and snaps her finger at Sunset. Then the students along with her friends joins in making more on Sunset.
Shadowbolts:
(Oh, wuh-oh-wuh, oh
Oh, wuh-oh-wuh)
Principal Cinch:
Now, I understand you have your reservations
(oh-wuh)
It's hard to have a brain as large as yours
(oh-oh-oh-oh)
But if we don't win these games
Well, I think I've made it plain
What will happen if we have the losing scores!
After That her friends and classmates starts to join in, by circling around her to get her to use the magic in the Friendship Games.
Shadowbolts:
(Oh, wuh-oh-wuh, oh
Oh, wuh-oh-wuh)
Unleash the magic, unleash the magic
If we lose, then you're to blame
(ah, ah-ah-ah)
They all have used it, maybe abused it
(ah-ah-ah)
So then why can't we do the same?
(Oh, wuh-oh-wuh, oh
Oh, wuh-oh-wuh)
The Crystal Prep Sunset looks at her device and it starts to glow. Then Principal Cinch comes towards her to get her to persuade her more.
Principal Cinch:
Call it power, call it magic
If we lose, it will be tragic
More important is the knowledge we'll have lost
(oh-oh-oh-oh)
A chance like this won't come again
You'll regret not giving in
Isn't understanding magic worth the cost?
The Crystal Prep Sunset still isn't sure what do. Just then she turns to see her friends are walking towards her as they sing she she step back as they get closer ith principal Cinch behind her.
Shadowbolts:
(Oh, wuh-oh-wuh, oh
Oh, wuh-oh-wuh)
Unleash the magic, unleash the magic
We are friends here after all
You know interest in this business
(ah-ah-ah)
Is seeing Canterlot High School fall
(Oh, wuh-oh-wuh, oh
Oh, wuh-oh-wuh, oh)
The Crystal Sunset is starting to be unsure about their idea and knows that there are good benefits, but also might come with consequences. Principal Cich goes behind her and put her hand on her shoulders.
Principal Cinch:
What I'm suggesting's very simple
And since it's win-win on all scores
You only want to learn about the
Magic that you have stored
Then she takes her Sunset past the students to the front of the crowd as she sings.
And as for me and all the others
We only want what we deserve
That our school will clinch the win
And my…
Principal Cinch then pushes her Sunset to the front of the crowd in order to persuade her more.
Principal Cinch and Shadowbolts:
...legacy will endure
Unleash the magic, unleash the magic
If we lose, then it's a crime
But we can win it if you begin it (ah-ah-ah)
It's up to you to not fail this time
The Crystal Prep Sunset realize that everyone is counting on her to win the games because of the magic she has collected. She also knows that she has a chance to understand the gamic coming from CHS. Shine comes out of the bush to see her owner coming to play the final event and release the magic. Shine decides to run over to her in order to stop her. The Equestrian Sunset and her friends turn to her her human counterpart is ready to start the final event.
Male Shadowbolts:
Unleash the magic, free the magic now
The Crystal Prep Sunset starts to take the device off her the lace from her next and head towards the center of the lawn. Shine looks at what's happening with a scared look on her face and knows that her owner might be putting herself in terrible danger.
Female Shadowbolts:
Unleash the magic, free the magic now
Sci-Sunset: Male Shadowbolts:
Imagine all I'll learn by setting it free Unleash the magic, free the magic now
The Crystal Prep Sunset is looking curious and anxious because not only she will be able to learn about the magic, but might be able to help her friends and her school win the Friendship Games.
Vice Principal Luna: Female Shadowbolts:
If both teams are ready... Unleash the magic, free the magic now
Sci-Sunset: Male Shadowbolts:
And now winning these games depends on me Unleash the magic, free the magic now
The Crystal Prep Sunset is getting ready to open her device. The Equestrian Sunset is heading towards her counterpart and wonder what she is up to. When she gets close she realize that she is planning on opening her deceive and release the magic she had inside.
Female Shadowbolts:
Unleash the magic, free the magic now
Shine they cats tries to get through the crowd of students in order to get to her owner before something terrible happens.
Sci-Sunset: Male Shadowbolts:
And what doors might open if I try to use it Unleash the magic, free the magic now
As the Crystal Prep Sunset looks at her device she is wondering about the magic that she has contain in and wonder if she can trotl it. Just then Sunset feels a strange spark coming from her and starts to get very concern about it.
Dean Chrysalis: Female Shadowbolts:
...the last event of the Friendship Games begins... Unleash the magic, free the magic now
Sci-Sunset:
But the magic's what I really want to see
Everyone from both of the school starts to scream and cheer and are excited for the last event to start. The Crystal Prep Sunset is starting to open her device.
Shadowbolts:
Unleash the magic, free the magic now...
Unleash the magic, free the magic now…
The Equestrian Sunset starts to rush over to her counterpart before she can open the decides. Principal Cich is holding a smile on her face because her Sunset is getting ready to release the magic and win the games for her school.
Just then shine comes running with a scared and worried look on her face and tries to stop her owner from making a big mistake.
Shine screams:
Sunset no!
As the Crystal Prep Sunset starts to open a strange light come from her device and can see the magic getting ready to come out.
All:
Now!
The Human Sunset opens her device and a blast of energy surrounds the lawn, knocking everyone who was standing off their feets and into the floor.
Then the strange energy is living the Human Sunset up in the air and absorbing her into the energy.
The Human Sunset shockley says, "What… what's happening?!"
Principal Cinch and her friends is able to get up and are so terrified by see Sunset being pull into the energy that they are too paralyzed to move. The Equestrian Sunset and the other are very worried and scared about this. They know the kind of problem that magic can cause if not handled properly.
The Human Sunset tries to pull away from the energy but couldn't get away from it. She scaredly screams, "Help… me!" She is able to manage to pull one of her arms out but she still couldn't escape. As the last part of her being absorbed she starts shedding tears and fully being pulled into the energy she collected.
The magic energy starts to take over human Sunset. Then the light that she is in spreads a very bright light.
Then the Sunset Sunset transform. Her skin turns crimson red, and her hair turned magic that makes look like her hair is fire. She then gain dark red gloves, black leather boots, and a fire like trees with a black belt with her shimmering sun buckle on it, and a choker to match. She grows red bat wings. Then grows a bright red horn on her forehead. She then opens her eyes and made shades that is bright red like her and her eyes are completely teal like but red eye leds.
Everyone at the school are shocked that the Human Sunset is turned into something like this. The ones who are mostly shocked are Principal Cinch, Shine, and Sunset's friends. They all realized that they made a huge mistake.
The Human Sunset looks at herself and becomes very scared in horrors for what she has become.
"What… what is this?" Sunset whispers to herself in horror.
The Human Sunset starts to get very scared and feel like thing very powerful inside of her that wants to get out of her. She fearly says, "Wha… what's happening to me?"
The Equestrian Sunset and her friends can tell that something is wrong with the human Sunset Shimmer and can tell that she isn't taking being a magical creature very well, not very well at all.
"Something doesn't feel right," Sunset says as she can tell that something is wrong with her counterpart and her transformation.
"I don't think she's liking this," Applejack says completely scared.
The Human Sunset starts to feel pain and clutching her stomach. She has so much energy in her that she feels like she's going to burst. Then she ends up releasing a magic beam from her hand hitting the top of the Wondercolt statue, causing it to shatter. The site really catches everyone's attention.
After the blast everyone can see that a portal is opening up. Sunset says in horror "Equestria!"
Everyone can see that the portal is starting to make cracks around it. Then the crack lead to the Equestrian Sunset and her friends. The Crystal Prep Sunset is starting to feel more pain and the pain cause a portal to be open. The Equestrian Sunset and her friends is able to jump out of the way before the portal opens.
After seeing this everyone starts to run away from the action. The Crystal Prep Sunset feels so much pain, that she is releasing magica beams from her horn. The beams causes portal to appear at Canterlot high that is leading to Sunset Shimmer's homeworld.
Principal Cinch along with the Crystal prep sunset friends are frighteningly watching holes of space being open.
They are so shocked they almost didn't notice the portal opening right under Principal Cinch.
Sunny then looks on the ground and can see the crack is starting to open. She screams "Mom look out!" Then pushes her mother out of the way.
When Principal Cinch and her daughter are able to sit up. They look at Sunset going completely crazy. That's when Principal Cinch notice something off with the creature before her. She can see that she looks like she is going to cry and holding her head in agony.
"Help… me." Sunset stutters with pain and agony.
"What?" Principal Cinch says shockley.
The Equestrian Sunset decides to confront her counterpart. She says, "Sunset! You have to stop this!"
Then Chrysalis comes close to her Sunset and asks, "Sunset what's wrong?"
The Sunset who is transformed clutches her stomach again and tries to says, "I… I…. I can't control it!" At hat part screams and cause another magic beam to open another portal to Equestria.
"Sunset you need to fight it," Chrysalis says trying to get through to her.
Then the Equestrian Sunset says in horrors, "She's right! You're destroying this world and creating portals to Equestria!"
The Crystal Prep Sunset starts to cry and says, "I can't!"
Then she starts to release a really big magical beam and screams, "It hurts too much!" Then release the magic beam from her horn causing a really big portal where some of the students are gathered. The Equestrian Sunset finds her device on the ground and picks it up and knows that her counterpart can't control the magic and is going crazy.
Applejack sees that one of her classmate is falling down the portal. Then she grabs her by the hand and says, "Don't let go."
Sour Sweet and the others can see the trouble that is going on and realize that the students from both schools need help. The decide to help them from falling down the hole.
Rarity tries to pull two students out, but now she's hanging on the end of the portal.
"Hang on!' Rainbow Dash screams to Rarity.
The Rarity screams while hanging on to the edge of the portal, "Obviously!"
Rarity can't hold on anymore and is about to fall in.
That's when Indigo and Lemon grabs her and Indigo screams, "We got you!"
As the Crystal Prep Sunset friends help everyone at the portal on the ground, the Equestrian Sunset notice that the spectrometer is activating again and detect magic near by. When she looks at her friends, she can see they are glowing. The girls are very confused by this, they all though they lost their magic but after this they realize that they still have their magic within him.
The Equestrian Sunset eyes widen and realize how magic works in this world. Then she thinks she knows a way to save her counterpart from suffering.
Sunset then looks at her friends and her counterpart friends and says, "Guys I got an idea."
The girls look for a sec. And they decide to follow her. They are lead to the Crystal Prep Sunset who been turned into a magic creature and still in deep pain.
The Equestrian says loudly to get her counterpart's attention, "What you did isn't the way! I know you feel scared right now and felt like you can't control this magic. I know what's it like. I made the same mistake you're making."
Then the Equestrian Sunset says, "I'd put on the crown and just like you I was overwhelmed by the magic it contained. I thought it could get me everything I wanted."
The Human Sunset who is still transform is shocked to hear what one of her friends said. She she suddenly says, "But… but I thought… it could help them, I just wanted to help. I wanted to learn about the magic energy coming from your school."
Just then Sour Sweet comes close to her friend and worriedly says, "But Sunset your life isn't worth this!"
The Human Sunset in her new form is shocked to hear her friend saying that. She whispers is shock, "What?!"
Then Lemon Zest comes over and says, "We're sorry we talked you into releasing the magic even though you're still trying to figure out how to use it."
"I guess like Principal Cinch we didn't want to lose to Canterlot High and keep up with our school's reputation, but winning the games isn't worth causing you so much pain," Indigo explains.
"But now we want to help!" Sunny Flare replies very worried and wants to help her friend.
"But how?" The Human Sunset says as she is shedding tears feeling very scared.
Then the Crystal prep Sunset in her form starts to cry and says, "I can't control it.
I'm… I'm scared!"
"I know you're scared. I understand what it like, I also know that even with all that magic and power you'll be all alone," The Equestrian Sunset says to her.
Then Sunset holds her counterpart device and says, "True magic comes from… Honesty..."
"Loyalty..."
"Laughter..."
"Generosity..."
"Kindness..."
When Sunset Shimmer says her friends element they glows very bright and their magic are being absorbed into the device.
After collecting the magic Sunset Shimmer is being lift up in the air and says, "I understand you because I am you from another world and like what happened to me, you need to be shown the most important magic of all."
She then close the device and throws it to the ground very hard. Then Sunset is absorbed into the magical energy and transform like her counterpart did.
After transform she announce, "The Magic of Friendship!"
The crystal Prep Sunset and everyone in the area are surprised seeing the transformation. Then the Equestrian Sunset use her magic to closer the portals that her counterpart made.
The Crystal Prep Sunset is relieved that the portals are closed but. The pain is happening again and ends up launching a beam at the other Sunset. The Equestrian Sunset use her magic to fight back.
The Crystal Prep Sunset magic is so strong and unstable that the Equestrian Sunset's magic is being pushed back. The students can see that things are not looking so good and it's for both of the Sunset Shimmers.
Just then Shine along with Principal Cinch and Dean Chrysalis comes with her to see if they can help.
"Sunset," Shine calls out.
The Crystal Prep Sunset in her transformation can see Shine and the people she really cares about and can see they all are worried and scared for her.
She sadly whispers, "Shine, Chrysalis, Abacus, Girls."
That's when the Equestrian Sunset can tell that the real counterpart is still there and use the magic of friendship to push her counterpart's magic back.
The Crystal Prep Sunset can see that the other magic is so strong that she is being absorbed by it. She covers her eyes with fear and scream, "Nooooo!"
After that:
The Equestrian Sunset and her counterpart are send into a strange abuse of white energy. The Crystal Prep Sunset looks very scared and to see her double looking at her and to her she looks like she really wants to help her.
The Equestrian Sunset holds out her hand and says, "Take my hand Sunset, let me show you another way. Just like someone did for me."
The Crystal Prep Sunset looks scared at first, but then she realizes that what she was doing isn't what she really wanted. In tears, she takes the Equestrian Sunset's hand and starts to feel warm magic and both of them are changing back to their normal selves.
After that a bright light glows very bright. Then it disappears to reveal two Sunset shimmers in the middle.
After regaining themselves from the light the two Sunset Shimmers are standing face to face and can see that they are more alike than they thought.
Just then the Crystal Prep Sunset is so drained by what happened she stumble fro a little and fainted into the Equestrian Sunset's arms. The Equestrian Sunset is shocked to see she fainted and simply put her on the ground slowly.
Everyone gasp to see that the Crystal Prep Sunset fainted, but the Equestrian Sunset figures that the magic took a lot of her energy and caused to collapse.
After that, the Equestrian Sunset decides to take her counterpart to the nursed our office, the two Sunsets' friends comes after her to see if she's okay.
Everyone are still surprised and shocked for what happened that they can only do is watch. Principal Cinch actually feels like she is going to cry because her greed for keeping up with Crystal Prep's reputation almost cost Sunset's life.
