Chapter 6 - Friendship Games - The Second Events

All of the girls (Minus Fluttershy) were standing being briefed on what we were doing.
"Alright, you 6. Applejack and Xayvier, You will take over the archery portion of the Tricross Relay. Pinkie Pie and Rarity, you will do the Speed Skating portion, and Rainbow Dash as well as Sunset Shimmer, you will do Motocross." I smile a little and put in my headphones.

We went and got changed, we then went to the starting line.
"Welcome, everyone to the Friendship Games Tricross Relay!" Dean Cadence said cheerfully. Everyone cheered loudly. "In this event, our qualifying competitors will face off in archery, speed skating, and finally, motocross. So if the competitors are ready..." She blew the air horn and I began to sprint across the obstacle course, I didn't grab the arrows or bows. Everyone began to laugh as they thought I screwed up. I jumped across the mud course with a front flip without needing the rope. My hand began to glow and mist formed in my hand creating a bow and 3 arrows already knocked into it. I pulled back and shot, using the mist to manipulate the arrow's trajectory. All three hit a different bulleyes. I dissolved the mist of my bow and took a sarcastic bow to everyone. Applejack smirked and began, Sour sweet had finished just a second after me, but she was looking at me angrily. I merely smirk and move aside for Applejack. She missed the first shot, but she took a deep breath and let it out as she shot the second shot, sending our speed skaters on their way.
"And it looks like Canterlot High is off to an early lead."
"Well, That's just fantastic!" Sour Sweet yelled at Twilight.
"You aren't Helping," I said with my headphones still in. I pulled them out and they were blasting music.

"Now then, Twilight, You can't look at where the target is, You need to aim at where it's going to be, For someone so smart, you aren't factoring in the variables." Twilight looked confused before realization dawned on her face and she hit herself on the forehead. She smiled brightly before starting to take aim. I could almost feel her drowning out the world around her. She shot and got the bullseye. Sour Sweet looked like she was about to thank me before she remembered who I was, she merely glared at me less. I smirk. I pat Twilight on the back. "There you go. I didn't want to see tears in those eyes." Twilight blinked a few times and realized she was close to crying. She wiped them up and smiled at me.
"Thanks. But why are you helping me?"
"A school rivalry isn't worth the effort that everyone puts into maintaining it." I shrug. I put my headphones back in and watch.
"Ain't that the truth." Applejack joined us and she began to glow a bit, But Twilight's pendant began to glow and I got one of my elixirs ready. The pendant stole Applejack's magic.
"WHAT....ARE....YOU...DOING!!!" Applejack yelled as she tried to escape. But the magic was sucked out of her and I managed to catch her. I gave her the elixir and made her drink it. She shook her head, only slightly exhausted now. I look at the score. We only had two more laps to go, while Crystal Prep had 3 left. It was much closer than I thought it would be.
"Canterlot only has two laps to go! But it looks like Crystal Prep is making up for lost time!" Cadence narrated. But the portal began to form and I saw that the necklace was on the grass across the track. Just then, all of the motocrossers began to drive, I frown and took out my sword. I blinked to somewhere private and changed into my normal clothes, I began to blink around the track trying to take care of any interference from the vine things. I blinked up and began to hack and slice away at the plant that way holding Sugarcoat.
"GET...AWAY!!!!!" I screamed angrily as power began to flood into me. I ripped the entire plant in half and landed on the ground. I caught Sugarcoat and her bike. I put them both down and before she could thank me, I was running to help Sunset. The plant lunged and I got in front of Sunset, I was holding it off as Rainbow Dash went and picked her up.
"YOU MOTHERFUCKING PLANT!!! YOU DON'T BELONG HERE!! GET AWAY!!!" I yelled as I began to fight the plant. It was actually a pretty close matchup between us two. I was slicing away at the plant and throwing them back through the portal, I eventually managed to kill the thing and throw it back through the portal as soon as they closed. I pant and collapse to my knees. Everyone was staring in amazement.
"Attention, students, please proceed to the gym." Dean Cadence said as I slowly got to my feet and drank down one of both types of my elixir. My health and magic were restored. I groan and rub a hand against my torn clothes. I looked out the corner of my eye and Twilight closed up her pendant, shutting off the portals. I sigh and lay down on the dirt. The girls ran to each other.
"Is everybody all right?" Applejack asked.
"Xayvier is still up there." Sunset pointed me out.
"I'm good." I give a thumbs up, still laying down.
"Yeah! We're better than all right! WE WON!" Rainbow Dash cheered
"Yeah, we won. But somebody could have been seriously hurt! If Xayvier hadn't managed to save that girl and I. I don't even want to know what could have happened."
"Um... Excuse me?" Twilight said as I got back to my feet and jumped down to them. "I.. Didn't mean for any of this to happen. I just wanted to find out about the strange energy that's coming from your school. I didn't know that it was magic. Or how it's supposed to work."
"That's ok. Neither do we." Rainbow Dash said as she walked up to her. I then noticed that She was ponied up. I didn't realize that this had happened. I facepalm and think. "Damn it." Twilight's pendant then lit up and began to suck Rainbow Dash's energy.
"OH NO! NOT AGAIN!" I run up to Rainbow Dash and grab my elixirs. I then help Twilight close her pendant. "I'm sorry, it just started absorbing energy on its own. But I'm not sure how to stop it, or how it's doing it in the first place!" She said worriedly. I helped Rainbow Dash to her feet and gave her one of my elixirs to rejuvenate her. "It also causes those corresponding rifts to appear. But I don't know how those work either."
"Is there anything you do know?" Yelled Sunset. I wince at this. But I couldn't interfere. This was necessary for the plot. "Like how to get our magic back? Or how to fix the portal to Equestria? Maybe you should figure out by now, that you shouldn't mess with things you don't understand!"
"But I want to understand." Twilight cried.
"But you don't. And worst of all, you put the lives of my Friends in danger!"
"I'm sorry." Said twilight tearing up and running away.
"TWILIGHT! WAIT!" Spike said and ran after her. I shake my head and began to walk towards the principals.
"You can't possibly call that a fair race," Cinch said.
"Principal Cinch, We all saw what happened. You can't think CHS had some kind of advantage?"
"Even without those attack plants..." Cinch began which i interrupted.
"Those attack plants didn't care who was who and was attacking everybody, so shut up about that." I say as I stood by them. Cinch glared at me.
"Still, your students have wings!"
"Well, the race certainly had some extenuating circumstances," Celestia admitted. "Perhaps we should end the games now and call it a Tie?" Celestia asked
"A tie? Was that your strategy all along?" Cinch said. "To force us into accepting you as Equals? I think not."
"Like I said. You're a bitch." I glared at her as if daring her to contradict me. Cinch glared right on back.,
"The games will continue despite your antics and whatever performance enhancing regiment your students are on."
"you're making it sound like we're all on steroids or something." I cross my arms and frown. Cinch sent one last glare at me before she left.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't stop this. Now Cinch thinks we're cheating." Sunset said to Principal Celestia
"It doesn't matter what Cinch thinks."
"But it does. The students here don't want to just win, they want to beat Crystal prep. It doesn't count if the other side doesn't truly think they lost. Crystal prep will never think we won if there's magic around. I'm sorry." Sunset looked down.
