//------------------------------// // Battle of the Bands // Story: Equestria Girls Under The Red Hood // by BROLY MUI //------------------------------// It was March, it has been 3 months since Jason put his Red Hood helmet, and has left it ever since what happened with the cops. He also shut down his base for a while. It was another normal day of school. Everyone was preparing a poster for the musical showcase Principal Celestia decided to do. But everyone still hated Sunset Shimmer for what she did, as she tries to help now The Crusaders. "Want some help?" asked Sunset. "Uh, no thanks. We're good." said Applebloom, as Sunset looks sad. “Oh... ok.” said Sunset sad as she walks away. She starts to walk away, as everyone looks at her angry, as she walks afraid of everyone. “SUNSET SHIMMER OVER HERE!!!” screamed a girl with pink hair and skin called Pinkie Pie. Sunset Shimmer smiles a little seeing her friends calling her. “I had no idea the whole school would be here.” said Sunset as she walked to the girls and Jason, as Fluttershy tries to make her feel better. “Well, they are here, but everyone still is mad at you, is just a matter of time so everyone start to respect you once again.” said Jason leaning by the wall, reading the book that Rainbow gave him. Pinkie Pie and Rarity grabbed the poster, and showed it to Sunset Shimmer. “Quite the eye catching advertisement.” said Rarity. “And it smells like cake.” said Pinkie. “It does?” asked Fluttershy trying to sniff the poster, but Pinkie just rams it into Fluttershy’s face, leaving sprinkles in her face. “I used frosting instead of paste.” said Pinkie. "Uh, Fluttershy, you've got a little somethin', uh..." said AJ pointing at Fluttershy. “Did I get it?” asked Fluttershy as she wiped only a little of it, just for Sunset Shimmer come and clean her face. Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna came through the gym’s door "Good afternoon, students. I just wanted to tell you all how pleased I am that so many of you are going to participate in the first ever Canterlot High School Musical Showcase!" said Celestia, as everyone started to cheer. "This is a wonderful opportunity to raise money for all our after-school programs here at CHS. So keep working on those signs and posters. I think it's going to be one of the most exciting events we've had at CHS since the Fall Formal." said Celestia as everyone looked at Sunset very mad, making her blush and look very sad and gets by the wall. Jason already knew what she’s going through, as he remembers when Dick needed his help when he was in The Titans, but everyone saw him as a mistake of Bruce. Music Room The girls and Jason were in the music room, Rainbow was leaning from the piano, JasSunset sat in the piano, Jason was leaning in a wall with a knife in his hand and was throwing it up and catching it. AJ was with her guitar bass, Pinkie sat with her drums, Rarity had her electric keytar and Fluttershy had her tambourine. "Ugh! I am never gonna live that down." said Sunset disappointed. "You were pretty bad at the Fall Formal." said Fluttershy. "A demon. I turned into a raging she-demon." said Sunset as she crossed her arms. “Doesn’t bother me a bit, I have faced demons that wanted to conquer the world. I have a list of demons that wanted to conquer the world. Number 1 is Trigon, number 2 is Lucifer Morningstar and yes he’s the devil, although I can put him lower because he might want the world, but he does want to protect the mortals so he is erased from number 2. Number 3 is...” said Jason as he looked at the girls and saw that they were looking at him with a face of (dude you’re the demon hunter or something) “What?” asked Jason. “I think you said enough. Plus, every demon you said wasn’t like Sunset right?” asked AJ. “All of them are like Sunset, telepathy, energy blasts, wings, demon face, everything. So don’t feel bad, everything you did, is something that I have saw and far worse.” said Jason, as Sunset looks down. “Sorry.” said Jason. “Is ok, is just that it will take a lot to win everyone’s trust you know.” said Sunset a little sad. “Sunset, darling, you have us, and we've forgiven you for your past... ahem... booboos." said Rarity. “Yeah, talking the guy who was cleaning Gotham once with blood, and later winning Bruce’s trust, is just a matter of time so they win yours.” said Jason. “But Bruce is a nice guy you once said.” said Sunset. “Uhhhhhhhhh... sweetie, Bruce is a pain in the ass 24/7, one thing is that he doesn’t trust anyone, not even himself, he even have contingency plans so he can take out every superhero or supervillain in the entire world, including me and winning his trust is anything but easy, if I won his, you’ll win the other student’s trust.” said Jason as Sunset smiled a little. "To be honest, I'd say the whole experience brought everyone at Canterlot High closer than ever before!" said AJ as she was getting ready to play a music. Sunset and Jason started to clap as the girls lose their pony parts. "I still can't believe that happens when we play! Ooh! I've got to look into some new accessories! Something that looks good in a longer ponytail. Ooh! Maybe some clip-on earrings for when I get those adorable pony ears.” said Rarity very happy. “Maybe later you can deal with that Rarity, right now, let’s focus on helping Sunset win everyone’s trust.” said Jason as he gets up and crosses his arms. “I just wonder why it happens. Princess Twilight took her crown back to Equestria. Shouldn't that mean she took all the magic back with her?” asked AJ. “No, I don’t think she took the whole magic. Is like the timeline, you can try whatever you can to make the timeline like it was, but it will be impossible. So the magic is like that, you can take the crown, but you can try whatever you want to take it back, but there will always be a spark of magic around the whole world.” said Jason as Rainbow was bored of all that explanation. “Nerdhead, who cares why it happens? It makes my band totally awesome.” said Rainbow as everyone was left shocked. “OH! YOUR BAND!?” asked Rarity getting angry. “Duh! It was my idea to start the Rainbooms so we could be in the showcase. Plus I'm an elite singer and guitarist.” said Rainbow with a smile. “Only because you made it doesn’t mean is yours.” said Jason as someone knocks the door, and enters, as it was Flash Sentry. “Uh, heard you outside. You guys are sounding really tight.” said Flash as he walks in. “Uh, we're getting there. Rarity's still coming in a little late on the second verse, and Applejack's bass solo...” said Rainbow as Jason interfere in the conversation. “What Rainbow means is that there some parts that she forgot to put, but is just something easy, so they will get it in no time.” said Jason as Rainbow looks mad at Jason and Rarity and AJ looked relieved “Uh, I don't suppose any of our friends from, uh... out of town might come? Uh, it being a special charity event and all.” asked Flash as he puts his hands in his pockets. “Sorry bro, but I don’t think Twilight will come back for a while, is just luck if she comes back, so have faith so she comes back.” said Jason as he crosses his arms. “Oh, yeah. Okay. I just, you know, thought I'd ask. Uh, k-keep on rockin' it.” said Flash as he bumps into a wall and later runs to the door. “Well... someone is quite the smitten kitten.” said Rarity as she looks at Sunset. “Oh. Sorry. I always forget you and Flash used to be an item.” said Rarity a little worried. “It's okay. Flash is a great guy and all, but I never really liked-him liked him. I was just using him to become more popular. Ugh! The old me really was just awful, wasn't she?” asked Sunset as everyone nodded. “Well... not that awful. I have been worse.” said Jason. “And how?” asked Rainbow. “When I returned to Gotham 2 years ago, I did some things that I don’t regret doing.” said Jason. “Which are?” asked AJ. “I have been boss of a lot of Crime Gangs, I have cutted heads in 2 hours, hehehe... I still remember me saying this “Those are all the heads of your lieutenants, that took me two hours, you want to see what can I do in a whole evening.” Just like that I said it and holding an AK-47, good memories.” said Jason with a smile, as the girls look at him like a complete crazy bastard. “What?” asked Jason. “Thanks for you’re horror movie story, but you’re making us be scared of you.” said Rainbow, as Jason didn’t cared at all. “Well the important thing is that you've turned yourself around.” said AJ as Sunset tries to feel better. “Thanks, Applejack, but I'm not sure everyone else at CHS feels the same way.” said Sunset looking down. “Not yet, later they might feel the same way as us.” said Jason as Sunset smiles a little. “Sunset Shimmer, please report to the main foyer.” said Vice Principal Luna through the P.A. “Gotta run. I volunteered to show some new students around the school. Thought it'd be good for them to get to know the new me before they heard all the stuff about the old me. Jason, wanna come?” asked Sunset as she was about to leave the door. “Sure!” said Jason as he grabs his jacket, as it was in the floor, and walks away with Sunset. “We've still got a few minutes before lunch starts. What do you say we do "Awesome As I Wanna Be"?“ asked Rainbow with a lot of enthusiasm. “Um, Rainbow Dash? I was wondering if we could maybe play the song I wrote?” asked Fluttershy with her book on her hand. “We'll get to it.” said Rainbow as she grabs her guitar. “Oh. Okay.” said Fluttershy looking sad as Rainbow starts to play her guitar. Sunset and Jason were walking as they arrived in the front door. “Hi! Are you the girls we’re supposed to show around?” asked Sunset as Jason had his hands in his pockets and had his sunglasses on. “We are.” said Adagio with Aria and Sonata behind her. "Canterlot High is a great school. You're really gonna love it." said Sunset. "Oh, yes, we really sense there's something... magical about this place." said Adagio, as Jason heard that and knew that this girls are nothing but evil. He scanned them without them knowing, as he saw magic inside them, but not like the one that Sunset had, more different. "That's the science lab. Computer lab is in there. Oh! We're having a big musical showcase this weekend! The whole school is pretty much rallying around it.“ said Sunset as she shows the girls the poster of The Musical Showcase. “A musical showcase?” asked Adagio with a little smile as she looks at the girls. “I'm sure since you're new, Principal Celestia would let you sign up if you're interested.” said Sunset. “We have been known to sing from time to time.” said Aria without emotions. “Hello? We sing, like, all the time! It's how we get people to do what we want.” said Sonata as Adagio with a gesture tells her to “shut the fuck up” “Wha-What did I say?” asked Sonata. “What you meant to say was that being in a musical showcase sounds like a great way to meet other students.” said Adagio with a fake smile. “Ohhhh, yeah. Th-What she said I meant to say. That's what I meant. To say.” said Sonata like if nothing happened. “And what you would have said if you weren't the worst.” said Aria annoying Sonata. “YOU ARE! said Sonata mad. “You'll have to excuse them. They're idiots!” said Adagio as Aria and Sonata appear behind Adagio. Jason and Sunset were confused on how Adagio described Aria and Sonata. “Those are pretty. Where did you...” asked Sunset as Adagio grabbed Sunset’s hand very violently as Jason steps up and takes Adagio’s hand of Sunset’s hand. “Enough, let her go.” said Jason with a menacing voice as Adagio acted very sorry. “Oh... so sorry Sunset Shimmer, is just that we’d just hate that anything happens to them, this pendant like... connects us.” said Adagio as the girls walk away, Jason started to think about those girls. “What are they?” asked Jason in his mind, as he feels a hand slip through his back, as he decided not to act very violently, as he looks back and saw that it was Aria. “See ya later tiger.” said Aria as Jason wasn’t comfortable with what she said, as he clinched his fist a lot. “We should warn the girls about them, they’re not ordinary girls.” said Jason. “What do you mean by that?” asked Sunset. “They have magic and those gems, are they’re source of their magic.” said Jason. “Then let’s go and warn the girls, if it is true, who knows what they could do!” said Sunset as they walk away to the cafeteria. Cafeteria It was lunch time and everyone was eating, Sunset and Jason arrived and sat with the girls. “So? How was the tour?” asked AJ. “I don’t know. I mean, these girls they were... there was something “off” about them.” said Sunset. "Like, off like this?" asked Pinkie as she puts her hair in her mouth, as it looks like a beard. "Or, off like this?" said Pinkie as she puts some carrots on her teeth as they look like fangs and lettuce in her eyebrows. "Oh Or, Ooh, like-" said Pinkie as Rainbow stops her. "Maybe we should just let her tell us." said Rainbow as one of Pinkie’s carrot fangs fell down. "That's just it. I can't put my finger on it. Jason said that they had magic, but they haven’t done anything based on magic. Maybe they know what I did.” said Sunset. “No, I don’t think they do.” said Jason. The new girls were outside the cafeteria getting ready. "This is it, girls. The moment we've been waiting for." said Adagio. “Lunch?” asked Sonata as Aria gets mad and Adagio gets very mad and stupid on how Sonata is such an idiot. "The chance to get our true Equestrian magic back." said Adagio annoyed. "Oh, right."said Sonata. "Our voices are just strong enough to make them want something so badly, they'll fight to get it." said Adagio as she looks through the cafeteria doors. "So we're just gonna do what we always do? Stir up some trouble and then feed off the negative energy? Some plan, Adagio." said Aria very annoyed. plan, Adagio." Aria said sarcastically. "It won't be the same as the times before! There is Equestrian magic here. Their negative energy will give us the power we need to get this entire world to do our bidding." said Adagio as she creates a little smile. "But we can get lunch after though, right? It's Taco Tuesday!" said Sonata very happy as she looks at the poster. "Just follow my lead." said Adagio. "Or my lead." said Aria with a little smile. "MY LEAD!" said Adagio grabbing Aria's shirt, as Sonata starts to giggle. “I am not starting to like this!” Jason was clinching his fists knowing this wasn’t good. At Night (Starts music) In Slade’s lair. He was suiting up. He knows who Red Hood is, and he’s ready for his death. He started to grab his guns, his sword, grenades, flash bang all that shit, and his armor. “Is time, you’re going to be Terminated Jason Todd, you will help me my daughter back.” Slade was grabbing his helmet while he talk in his mind, he grabbed it and put it on, very epically. “The last that you will see, is Deathstroke... The Terminator!” said Slade in his mind, while he starts to walk off his base. (Ends music)
