As we stood at the stage, Rainbow Dash was testing the microphone. Just then the microphone gave some feedback and Sunset turned it back down.
"Sorry!" She called.
"It's amazing. Even though we showed our powers, The dazzlings still let us into the Finals. Doesn't anyone think that's weird?" Fluttershy asked as I had told them all what would have happened.
"Very strange." We heard a voice from behind us.
"What are you doing here, Trixie? Pretty sure the losers are supposed to be up there in the cheap seats." Rainbow Dash pointed to the seats
"The Great and Powerful Trixie is the most talented girl at Canterlot High. It is I who deserves to be in the finals. And I will not be denied!" She snaps her fingers and somebody pulls a lever causing us all to crash into the floor beneath the stage. I was knocked out.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------That Night--------------------------------------------------------------------
I groan as I wake up. Pinkie notices and hugs me.
"XAVY! You're awake!" There was some grunting as rainbow tried to break down the door.
"Give up Rainbow Dash. You've been trying that for hours."
"I got this." I get up and stumble. "Whoa." I take my hood off and feel my head. My hand comes away bloody. "Damn it. Pinkie, You have some of that health potion. She nods and hands it to me. I take a long drought from it. I can feel my head repairing itself.
Rarity sighs. "I had the perfect costumes for us to wear as well."
"You mean costumes like what would have ruined our chances in the audition?" Applejack asked.
"I took experience from that encounter and fixed our costumes so that wouldn't happen." She said to her.
"So. You girls aren't going to argue?" I said.
"No. Why would we?" Fluttershy asked. I breathe a sigh of relief.
"Because if I wasn't here, you would have been letting the little things get to you. But I fixed them all before they happened." I smile at them all. "So the dazzlings aren't feeding off you. You never argued, so they have to feed off the normal students."
"How would they feed off us? Our magic is Friendship. And your Magic is Void." Applejack said.
"Because our magic can be turned into something else." I smile. "Sunset would have been the one to make you all come to your senses."
"I can't believe all of that would have happened under my nose," Twilight said. "I'm supposed to be the one with all the answers."
"I don't think anyone is supposed to have all the answers. But you can count on your friends to help you find them." Sunset said as she smiled at her.
"I think you already have. C'mon! We need to get out of here!" Twilight said.
"I got this." I clench my fist and charge up a powerful windblast. "SPIKE!! WATCH OUT!!" I call through the door. I unleash it and the door explodes outward. Spike looks inside.
"Everyone ok?" He asks.
"Yeah, we're fine."
"Sorry, it took me so long to get here. I had to find someone to help us." She said as Vinyl popped out.
"Why isn't she under their spell?" Twilight asked.
"Never takes off her headphones," Spike answered simply as vinyl raised a thumb.
"Come on, Y'all! Time to prove we've still got the magic of friendship inside us!" Applejack said
"And there's only one way to do it!" Twilight said.
"Yeah. And I know just the song to do it." Rainbow Dash walks to Fluttershy. "Fluttershy wrote a really great one." Fluttershy squees.
"We're about to save the world here. Personally, I think we should do it in style. Rarity?" Applejack asked.
"I thought you'd never ask!" Rarity said as she brought out outfits for them all. We all went to the hill with their instrument.
(End this when Twilight and the others fly back.
"Sunset Shimmer. We need your help!" Twilight asked.
"I..I can't!" She cried.
"What?" I ask silently as Lightningman appears beside me with a crack.
"What's going on?"
"We need to hold off the Dazzlings," I told him. "Girls. Help Sunset. We'll deal with the Dazzlings." I grab the microphone. I turn to the stage and everyone was looking at Lightningman and I. I growl and Vinyl tosses a second mic to Lightningman. I take off my jacket showing my scarred eye and fried hair. Quite a few people gasp at my appearance.
"Alan Walker. Alone." I say to Vinyl and she nods.
(Imagine the voices are two male voices.)
As we sang, my hand began to glow and electricity and aura surround lightningman. My hand shot black mist and surrounded all of us, while Lightningman shot out lightning to make the mist brighter and the aura made it more powerful. The dazzlings weren't happy. The Sirens began to sing to try and break our shield. But we were holding strong. Once the song finished, the shield began to flicker.
"Crap. girls! You finished yet?"
"No! try a few more songs to protect us." They said as they comforted Sunset.
"Ok! Vinyl! Put on 'Thanks for the Memories.'" She nodded and put it on
Our shield began to get stronger with each song we sang.
Once I finished that song, I winked at Pinkie Pie and she blushed. "One more song guys!"
"Ok!" I call back.
Once that song was finished, Sunset looked up determined. I smile and hand her the mic. Lightningman hands Twilight his mic. (Turn the first song back on at this point.)
When all the girls floated up, lightningman and I looked at each other and smiled. I aimed my void magic at the girl's stream of magic while Lightningman added his Lightningman. The two new powers twisted around it like a snake would climb up a pole. but somehow, both me and Lightningman began to float with them as well. What was even stranger was that I ponied up as well. I got black ears and a Navy Blue tail. While Lightningman got Blue ears and an Electric Yellow tail. We both smiled as we faced the girls. Then the alicorn came out. But its body was surrounded by void magic and its horn was crackling with electricity. It shot it's magic at the sirens and lightning, void magic, and Friendship magic hit them all at the same time.
As we floated back down, the dazzlings began to try singing again. But it sounded horrible.
"Without their magic, their just a bunch of harmless girls." I smile as I blink over to the pendants and pick up the fragments.
"Rainbooms rule! That was amazing!" Flash said as she hugged Twilight.
"Did I tell you or what?" I said as I rejoined the Rainbooms
"Yeah." She smiled.
"You may have vanquished the Dazzlings, but you will never have the amazing, show-stopping ability of the Great and Powerful Trixie!" Trixie cried as she disappeared in a puff of smoke. But there was an "Oof." When the smoke cleared, Lightningman was holding Trixie up by the neck of her cape.
"LET ME GO!" She cried.
"Xayvier?" Lightningman asked
"You don't need to ask." I stood on the other side of Trixie and grabbed her legs. We began to swing her.
"1...2...3!" I cried as we threw her off the stage.
"Trixie's okay!" She said as she got up.
"You know, Twilight and Lightningman are going back to Equestria soon. The Rainbooms could really use someone to help Fluttershy on backup vocals." Rainbow turned to Sunset and I. Sunset smiled and grabbed a guitar and began playing expertly. I chuckled at the astonished faces of everyone.
"I also play guitar." Sunset smiled. Rainbow came to her senses
"We'll see." I decide to not tell them that I occasionally play the drums when I can.
-----------------------------------------------------------------The next morning.-----------------------------------------------------------
"Sure wish you could stay longer." Applejack said to Twilight.
"Yeah," I said to Lightningman. "By the way. What happened to the Red Scorpions?"
"Oh, those guys? I left their leader for you to take care of them." He conjures a map of Medicine Hat and points out where their headquarters are. "They're currently trying to boost their security. So be careful. I would suggest taking the route here." He points to an alley to the left of the building. "That's where they think they are the most secure, so they won't have as many guards there."
"Alright." I nod. We do our handshake again.
"Besides. We can go through the portal at any time now. So this isn't goodbye. It's just goodbye until next time." Twilight smiled at us all. She then turned to Spike and Lightningman. "Ready?"
"Ready." With that. They entered the portal.
