//------------------------------// // Universal Rainbooms/First Encounter // Story: Star Trek: Sunset Shimmer // by SanyaHikari //------------------------------// Canterlot Amphitheater Present day On the stage, 7 teenage girls are playing their instruments. They are known as the Rainbooms; Sunset Shimmer, Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Rarity, Applejack, and Pinkie Pie, respectively. Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah Ah, ah-ahhh Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ahhh Back in the day, I used to walk these halls Acting tough, but all alone I needed a friend to lend me a helping hand I couldn't do it on my own We've come so far together Got memories to treasure I look at you, stories come back to life And if I need reminding I know where I can find you In these pages, you'll last forever Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah Ah, ah-ah Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ahhhh Remember when I, I lost the crown You didn't leave me out in the rain We still had songs to sing, magic transforming Special in every way The gems chose us by name We've come so far together Got memories to treasure I look at you, stories come back to life And if I need reminding I know where I can find you In these pages, you'll last forever Forever, forever In these pages, you'll last forever The girls then set down their instruments. "Wow, that was a good song, Sunset," complimented the pink butterfly girl, known as Fluttershy. "Thanks," replied the bacon-haired teenager. "That...was...awesome!" exclaimed Rainbow Dash, the athletic rainbow-haired girl. "Can we sing it again, pretty please?!" "Uhh, we had enough rehearsing for today," said Twilight Sparkle, also known sometimes as Sci-Twi. "Well, we could go to the mall," suggested Rarity, the fashionista of the seven. "Okay! The mall it is!" exclaimed the other six girls. One car drive later... The 7 girls walk into the mall. It was bustling with teenagers, who are either shopping, hanging out, or working. "Well, since it's all our day off, who wants to go to the clothing store?" asked Rarity. "We do!" said all the girls. So, they all went to the clothing store. It was very fun trying on the different outfits. Soon, they all exited the store with shopping bags in their hands. "Well, that was fun. I pretty enjoyed it," said Sunset. "Me, too," chimed in Twilight. "So, um, which store should we go next?" asked Fluttershy. "Why not try the spa? I'm sure we can relax our limbs," suggested Rarity. "Yeah! I want to chillax!" exclaimed Rainbow Dash. "Uh, Dash, what's this 'chillaxin' word you're talkin' about?" asked Applejack. The girls then looked at Rainbow Dash with strange faces. "Ummm...it's nothing," chuckled Dash nervously. "Carry on." "The spa it is!" smiled Sunset. The 7 girls laughed. So, they begin walking down the mall corridors to the spa salon. Unbeknownst to them, a meteor-like streak flies over the mall. Canterlot City Park Soon, the "meteor" crashes into the park, creating a huge crater. As the smoke clears, a huge red object can be seen. The "meteor" is actually the pendant ship that the USS Sunset Shimmer shot down. Mystery Mint and Cherry Crash were sitting on a bench when they saw the pendant ship crash. "What is that?" asked Mystery Mint. "I don't know. But we can check it out," smiled Cherry. "Sure!" replied Mystery. So, the two girls run over to the site. There, they are in complete shock. "Does that... remind me of those three girls who tried to control us by singing?" asked Mystery. "Ugh, the Battle Of the Bands is so last year," muttered Cherry. Then, tentacles began protruding from the ship. They lunged at the duo, grabbing the girls by their ankles. "WHAT'S GOING ON?! LET ME GO!" screamed Mystery. "HELP!" cried Cherry. Then, their bodies begin to...dematerialize. Soon, they both fade away. "What's happening?" "Where am I?" "Hello?" Ah ah ah Ah ahhhhh Ah ah ah Ah ahhhhh Soon, both Mystery and Cherry wake up. They looked around. They are now in a room, full of futuristic technology. "Wait, this isn't the park," said Mystery. "Where are we?" "Maybe we're probably inside the ship?" asked Cherry in confusion. "You are both correct," said a voice. "Wait, who are you?" asked Mystery. "And can you get these chains off us?" "I will. Once you tell me where Sunset Shimmer is," the voice replied. Then, a scary looking woman entered the room. She has green skin, four red eyes, a red pendant on her forehead, and a black mohawk. Her outfit consisted of a post- apocalyptic tank top, camouflage pants, and black combat boots. "Oh...my," squirmed Cherry with fear. "Please don't kill us both." "I won't," said the woman. "I'm the queen of the Aridaginatans. But if you don't tell me the location of Sunset Shimmet and her friends, there will be grave consequences!" "Aridaginatans?" chuckled Mystery with laughter. "What a funny name!" The Queen then tasered Mystery with the chains. Mystery screamed in agony. A few seconds later, the Queen shut the current off. "I'M SERIOUS! AND STOP LAUGHING!" she yelled. "I WON'T HESITATE TO USE THIS AGAIN ON YOU!" "Um, okay," replied Mystery. "Sorry about that." "Um, the location of Sunset Shimmer...she goes to Canterlot High," said Cherry. "Is that so? If so, tell me," asked the Queen. And so, the two girls begin explaining info about Sunset Shimmer to the Aridaginatan queen. To be continued...
