Morning had finally come over the world of Canterlot City. The streets of the city was a total mess of disorder since last night, when the Sirens took total control of the citizens. After they had their precious pendants back in their possessions, they placed a mind control spell on all the Canterlot High School students, and ordered them to ruin their once proud high school. It is currently damaged, inside and out. The windows have been smashed, broken glass laying on the ground, lockers all dented, and tables and desks all flipped over or smashed to pieces. It would take a long time, and money, to repair everything, and bring CHS back to its former glory. Presently, a taxi pulled up and stopped near the front of the school, and two figures climbed out to look at the damaged building.
Over at Camp Everfree, everyone from CHS were doing their best to help with repairs to the camp, after the battle against the Dazzlings. The Rainbooms and Team Furious were happily working alongside each other. They may have won the battle, but not the war. At least not the war against Queen Chrysalis, who was still on the loose in Los Angeles. Everyone had learned that it wasn't only her who ended up there, but they also don't know who they could be. Even so, Team Furious weren't concerned for the time being. If the Rainbooms can help Team Furious save L.A. from total chaos, maybe nothing can stop them together.
Finally, Camp Everfree has been fully restored, thanks to everyone's help. They all felt proud of themselves. However, Gloriosa Daisy and Timber Spruce came out of the office, each with a worried expression on their faces. Team Furious, the Rainbooms, and everyone else wondered what was the problem was, when Gloriosa spoke first.
"Everyone, please listen. Uh... We have just spoken to your principals on the phone. And... uh... it would seem that... your school is... completely damaged inside and outside!"
Everyone gasped in horror. They were shocked of what happened to their beloved school. The only ones who weren't surprised were Team Furious, Sunset Shimmer, and Starlight Glimmer. They have seen the damage when they returned from Equestria through the school statue's portal. And Sunset was pretty upset that the Dazzlings were responsible for it.
"What do ya' mean completely damaged?!" Applejack questioned.
"It's true." Timber concurred. "Whoever it was, they have made a huge mess to your school. Principal Celestia told us that she and Vice Principal Luna will arrive shortly on a bus to show you all. We're very sorry for all this."
True to his word, a school bus arrived through the gate, as if by coincidence. As soon as it parked nearby, Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna came out, with somber looks. It was obvious they were devastated from the first look of their high school when they arrived. Everybody rushed towards them with worry.
"Principal Celestia!" Rarity cried, with tears running down her cheeks. "Is it true?! That CHS is all in a devastating mess?!"
There was a moment of silence, until Principal Celestia finally answered.
"Yes, Rarity."
"If you can all line up in an orderly manner," Vice Principal Luna announced, "we will be taking you to the school immediately."
They all can see how the two principals feel, and as soon as every CHS student lined up to get on the bus, no one said a word. Before getting on the bus, Sunset told Charlie and his friends to follow close behind the bus in their cars, as they agreed to introduce themselves to the principals once they arrive. Soon, the Rainbooms were the last to take their seats, and the bus began to drive away through the gate towards the road. Team Furious followed behind in their street racing cars, instead of their alternatives.
It didn't take too long when they all arrived to the front courtyard of Canterlot High. As the bus stopped, they all slowly made their way out, and they all gasped at the sight of the damage that was done. Team Furious parked their cars behind the school bus, and climbed out to see everyone's reaction.
"Oh my!" Fluttershy gasped silently, tearing up. "This is really bad!"
Rarity fainted dramatically, and Applejack caught her, but still looking at CHS with horror.
Rainbow Dash clenched her fists. "I can't believe they did all this!"
All the students were suddenly in a slight panic, until Vice Principal Luna settled them down.
"Children, please calm DOWN!" They all stopped to look at her and Principal Celestia, who was shamefully looking down at the ground, when she spoke.
"We both know how you all feel about this, but there is no reason to be in a panic. We will do our best to fix CHS back to its operating status. But until then..." She paused ominously.
Everybody waited for their principal's response, when she began to shed tears. "We will have to shut down the school for the next few months."
That is when this announcement really hit the hearts of the students and the Rainbooms. Normally, students would be glad that they wouldn't be having class for a few months, but this was something completely different. Canterlot High is a special place where they could all hang out and have a good time, but now it has to be off-limits, until it is all fixed. Even Team Furious were shocked upon hearing what the school principal had said. Vice Principal Luna had to agree with her sister on this matter.
"I'm afraid there is no other choice. Everyone shall have to stay home, until we can build up enough money for repairs, which is not going to be cheap, either." Then, she clenched her own fists tightly. "I just wish we knew who caused all this!"
"It was the Dazzlings, Vice Principal." Sunset broke the slilence. "They have returned to try to take over, not just the school, but the whole city, as well."
"Really, Sunset?" Principal Celestia questioned. "Are you sure about that?"
"Yes, and they also placed every students under a spell to get them to attack me and my friends."
The principals were shocked of this. They were always concerned for their students' safety, but Sunset reassured them.
"We alright now, so don't worry. We didn't receive any injuries." Sunset turned her head towards Team Furious, who were standing a few feet away from everyone else. "And it's all thanks to our new friends over there. Team Furious."
All heads were facing towards the mentioned team, who gave reassuring smiles to them, as they walked towards their friends. Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna had never seen them before, since they aren't students in their school. Sunset began to introduce them, pointing out each member.
"Principal Celestia. Vice Principal Luna. This is Charlie johnson, David Jefferson, Rachael Bailey, Sam Barrett, Bobby Brant, Lily Mavis, and Taylin Amity. They have been helping us stop the Dazzlings, and we are all grateful to them for saving our world. They are also from another world, but not from Equestria, as you can probably tell from their names, and anything else."
Both school principals were impressed. Seeing seven young adults from another dimension sounded quite amazing, but they wanted to know why they ended up here.
"Well, I guess if they helped you girls from getting hurt," Principal Celestia smiled, "then they are always welcomed here. But where exactly are they from?"
"I can answer that question." Charlie insisted. "We were accidentally teleported here from a different dimension, called Earth, which is a human world. We currently live in the city of Los Angeles, in the state of California..."
For the next few minutes, Charlie and his friends explained what they do in their home world, minus the part about street racing, and the fact that everything here is fictional, so as not to make a bad impression on the principals. They also told them of Queen Chrysalis, the evil queen of the changelings from Equestria, who mysteriously wounded up in L.A., among other unknown villains. They were really worried of what might happen to their friends and families, as well as the rest of their world. Then, they showed the school principals their special powers and abilities, thanks to the training in Equestria. They believed that they could use them to save their world, but they need all the help they could get.
"So you see, we have to stop whoever is trying to take over Los Angeles, and save our world!" Lily cried out. "We can't do this alone."
"If anything were to happen to our families back home, I don't know what we would do!" Sam agreed.
Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna understood all of this, and they looked at each other with concern. They knew that their students, specifically the Rainbooms, have been in life-threatening situations before, and prevailed in the end, but this seems terrifying than ever. They weren't sure if sending them over to another dimension, fraught with dangerous villains, is the right choice.
"We appreciate what you seven have done for our students," Principal Celestia smiled, then frowned, "but what you're all saying to help save your world from this Queen Chrysalis is very dangerous itself. Even deadly."
"We are not so sure if we should allow our students to risk their lives to..." Vice Principal Luna was about to agree with her sister, but was suddenly cut off by Rainbow Dash, who raised her right hand.
"No offense, Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna, but we've been in pretty bad situations before. Yeah, this is gonna' be worse than before, but I am going to help our friends here save their home, no matter what!"
"So am ah'!" Applejack joined in. "No one's gonna' let any bad guy git 'way with rulin' our friends' home!"
"And I've just thought of the perfect outfits for them, as well!" Rarity's eyes sparkled. "Everyone's going to be taking you seriously, once you wear them to your epic battle!"
Team Furious smiled at the thought of their new battle outfits, when Pinkie Pie spoke up.
"Oh boy, this is going to be the biggest, most greatest fight of the century! I'm so nervicited right now!"
Applejack rolled her eyes. "Ah' really don't think that's a real word, Pinkie."
"Well... um..." Fluttershy whispered nervously. "I don't know what I can do to help... but I will do my best, I guess."
Seeing as everyone is on-board on this matter, Sunset and Twilight faced towards their principals.
"I think it's unanimous, Principal Celestia. " Sunset crossed her arms and smiled. "We are all going to help Team Furious save L.A. from total control of Chrysalis."
"And I'm afraid that nothing is going to change our minds." Twilight joked. " No matter the danger we'll face together."
Upon hearing those words, the two principals thought long and hard with consideration. If these girls are so determined to help one another, and face the unspeakable dangers ahead, then perhaps they should entrusted the safety of their prized students to Team Furious. Making up their minds, they both stood in front of the two teams, while the other students looked at them, with anticipation and anxiety.
"Well then," Principal Celestia declared, "I guess we can't stop you on this subject. But if you're going to see this through, you must plan your strategies carefully, and look out for each other. Those villains will probably not give you a chance to catch your breaths easily."
Then, Vice Principal Luna looked at Team Furious, with a slight concerned expression. "Please keep our students safe, and bring them home together. We are trusting all of you on this."
Team Furious nodded their heads in agreement. No one is going to get left behind, or get hurt in the process.
"But firsts thing's first!" Principal Celestia clapped her hands. "We will have to clean whatever mess there is around the school before anything else! Let's get to it, everyone!" Half the students cheered with joy, while the other half groaned, knowing it will mean more cleaning.
Different groups of students have been assigned to split up and clean different parts of the school, while Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna supervised the whole operation. As the morning slowly passed by, Canterlot High was being cleaned, and put back together with whatever remained untouched. Broken glass were swept away and properly disposed, all the trophies were sorted back to their proper places, all the books in the library were carefully put back on the shelves by a cheerful Twilight's telekinesis ability, and all the desks in the classrooms were put upright. Even the walls, with many graffiti paintings, were painted over with the schools' right colors. The lockers and the broken windows were a different story, though. It would cost lots of money to get them replaced, so no one, not even the Rainbooms, thought of an idea for a fundraiser at the moment.
"Gee," Starlight sighed, "I guess there's nothing we could do for the windows, right?"
"Yeah, you could say that again." Sunset agreed somberly. "I can't even think of something to raise enough money for all this."
"It was hard enough to plan an' run a fundraiser before, but now it's gonna' be a lot harder." Applejack put in.
Then, she saw Sam and Rachael walking up to a dented locker, and they were doing something that no one else thought of before. Sam did his best to bend the locker door to its right shape with little struggle, and Rachael placed her right hand on the body of the locker, and it suddenly began to shake a little, as all the dents were now flattened. Everyone's mouths dropped with utter surprise, except Team Furious and the Rainbooms. Next, Rachael carefully placed her hand on an undamaged part of a window, and the open hole started to shrink, until the glass is solid. The window was now fixed, and no one said a single word.
"In case you're all wondering," Rachael called out, "One of my special abilities allows me to fix any damage on an object or injury on a person. I guess you all don't have to pay for repairs, after all."
"And I can use super strength to help out, just like Applejack." Sam grinned, while Applejack smirked.
The principals were amazed that these teenagers had this extraordinary magic to help fix their school, so they insisted Sam and Rachael to repair any damaged objects left in the school grounds, which they simply complied. It took almost the whole afternoon, as the two teammates walked around the campus, looking for anything that needed restoration. Many lockers were all flattened into shape, windows are now hole-less, and even every flags and banners were all fully stitched. Sam and Rachael were now exhausted during the entire tour of CHS, but they both had the same feeling, telling them that it was all worth it. Everybody walked outside and gathered around the front courtyard to look at the fully restored Canterlot High School, which gave a glimmering and sparkling aura. They were all so happy to have their Wondercolt school back to normal, when Rachael secretly looked at the school statue behind her. She knew that CHS wasn't complete without the horse standing on top, since it was damaged during the Friendship Games by Midnight Sparkle, Twilight's former dark ego.
"Wondercolts!" Principal Celestia proudly declared. "Canterlot High is now, officially, back on schedule!"
Every student, which includes the Rainbooms, clapped and cheered with joy, and Team Furious stood proud at their accomplishment. Then, everyone saw Rachael walking up to the statue, placing her hand on the hard surface, and the statue of the horse began to slowly reappear from the bottom up, right before all the students' very eyes. Finally, there it was, the mascot of their school, back in its original pose. Twilight's eyes widened with wonder, as she remembered that her once magic-crazed self blasted the mascot to smithereens, before opening a dimensional rift to Equestria. It was as if Rachael had corrected her past mistake on purpose, which gave Twilight great happiness. Rachael turned her head to the crowd, smirked, and gave a thumbs-up. That is when all who witnessed this particular restoration roared with the loudest cheers of excitement around the area. Their school pride has been fully revitalized. Even Principal Celestia and her sister were on the verge of tears. Rachael walked back to her smiling friends, who each gave her a pat on the back, and thumbs-up of their own. Rainbow Dash approached her, and placed a hand on her hip, smiling impressively.
"Well, Rachael, I guess this makes you, and your friends, honorary Wondercolts." Then, Rainbow raised her first in the air, and shouted out to everybody else. "Isn't that right?!"
The students of CHS cheered in agreement, seeing that Team Furious had helped them all bring back their school spirit. That is when the principals calmed down the excitement, and regained their attention. The sun was about to slowly descend down towards the horizon any minute, and that means that dusk was about to arrive.
"Alright, everyone!" Principal Celestia clapped her hands. "It is getting late now! We've all had a busy day, so you can all go home and have a well earned rest; but feel free to stay a while, as you would normally do for after school activities."
"We are still on one more week of vacation," Vice Principal Luna added, "but I hope it also means that you've been studying!" Everyone gave a nervous chuckle.
"Well, that almost killed the mood." Spike whispered to Twilight, who silently giggled.
After that, most of the students had left for home, while some have stayed to enjoy a few minutes of socializing with each other. As Team Furious sat down on the stairs with the Rainbooms, and talked about what they do at their high school, Starlight couldn't help but wonder about who is Queen Chrysalis's accomplices in L.A. Back in Equestria, before becoming Princess Twilight's pupil, she had studied on her world's greatest enemies and threats, ranging from Nightmare Moon and King Sombra, to recent villains like Lord Tirek, and even very minor enemies, such as Flim and Flam, to say the least. Currently, Chrysalis is declared her worst arch-nemesis, after Starlight reformed the whole changeling kingdom. The former Queen of the Changelings was definitely not satisfied with that, and vowed that Starlight will pay for her dethronement. Starlight felt a little nervous on facing and fighting her again after that fact, but she also knew that her magic, as well as her friends, will help her prevail in the end. Spike caught wind of her nervous expression and he motioned his companions to notice, too.
"Excuse me, Starlight?" Fluttershy kindly asked. "Is something wrong?"
"Oh, no. Not really." Starlight denied. "It's just that... Chrysalis has a very personal grudge against me, after I reformed her entire army to share love, instead of hording it to themselves. Now that we're going to help save Team Furious' world, she'll probably come after me first, once we enter enemy territory. I don't want to get you all tangled up in this, but it's bothering my mind right now. I just wanted to help her see the importance of friendship, and not hide in the shadows anymore."
The two groups can see that Chrysalis's grudge on their Equestrian friend is troubling her. This mission could very well be a climatic conflict between the two opponents, once they end up meeting each other again. Taylin walked up to Starlight and place her hand on her shoulder to reassure. To Starlight, she kind of reminds her of Princess Twilight.
"It's gonna' be okay. No one's going to do this alone. If you ever need us, just talk to us from inside your mind, and we'll be there for you. One of our abilities, as I found out from Charlie, is telepathic communications. I'm sure it'll come in handy."
Starlight gave a reassured smile. Even though she isn't a pony from Equestria, Taylin does seem similar to her mentor.
"And don't forget," Charlie added, "you still have your McLaren Senna to get you out of a tight spot. Just like you can use your magic in Equestria, you can use it in our world, as well. Taylin's right, though. We'll all be there, whenever you need us."
Team Furious and the Rainbooms stood side by side, to show her that they are in this together. Starlight began to shed some tears in her eyes, as she wiped them away.
"Thanks, guys."
"Well, I guess you are there for each other to the end." A voice called to them from behind. Principal Celestia walked toward them with a smile. "I just hope you keep clear from getting hurt, as part of the promise."
"Of course it is!" Pinkie grinned. "We'd never break a promise we're committed to!"
"That's right!" Lily agreed, as she performed the Pinkie Pie promise. "Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye!"
Everyone happily applied the same hand-gesture of the promise, but Rachael was too embarrassed to even say and do it, at all, until Pinkie smugly elbowed her to do the same. Rachael finally sighed and made the promise without the words. They all smiled, nonetheless.
"Now that that's settled," Principal Celestia continued, "I assume that this time of day is the same as on Earth, am I right?"
"We believe that to be the case." David confirmed. "It was also the same time as when we first arrived here."
"And before we arrived, we were tryin' to get to a place called Hollywood Hills." Sam put in. "That is where we first saw a meteor shower together four years ago."
"And I was studying overseas for a few months, until I was sucked into a cross-dimensional rift, when I was driving to my apartment." Taylin remembered. "I don't think anyone saw me, when it happened during the night."
The school principal took all this information as much as she could, and nodded her head. "I see." Then, she made an unexpected decision, as she smiled. "Then, all of you should get going, before anything bad happens to the innocent lives of your world."
Everyone was surprised of this. They have to go save Los Angeles so soon?
"But, Principal Celestia," Rarity raised her hand, "I haven't even given our new friends their new outfits to wear!"
"Are you sure it's totally necessary, Rarity?" Rainbow raised a brow.
"Why, of course, it's necessary! I mean, it's nothing fancy or flashy, but any evil-doer who takes a good look at them, will know who they are dealing with!" Rarity's tone turned serious. "I insist we all head to the boutique this very instant!"
Principal Celestia gave a small chuckle of Rarity's persistence of fashion. "It looks like your minds' are made up."
"Wait, guys." Spike called out. "There's something I wanna' say." Everyone turned towards him. "I think I should stay here, where it's safe."
Twilight was surprised, and so was everyone else, to hear her beloved talking dog say that. "But... why, Spike?"
"I know I want to help you all save their world from bad guys, but I'm just a dog. It will be very dangerous and I can't do much. I know that you guys want me to join you despite this fact," Spike then gave a smile. "But don't worry about me! What I can do is cheer you on the whole way, and I know that you'll be back soon safe and sound. I believe in all of you." He looked at Twilight. "Go get em, Twilight!"
Twilight was a little concerned for Spike, hating to leave him out of the adventure. But, she knew he is a tough puppy, and he will manage fine. She gave a smile and gave her pet a hug. "Thanks, Spike."
"Don't worry, Twilight." Principal Celestia reassured. "My sister and I will look after him, while you're away." Then, she looked at her seven prized students, Starlight Glimmer, and Team Furious, with a motherly sense of proudness and worry. "Please, take care of yourselves, and good luck."
Team Furious, the Rainbooms, and Starlight nodded their heads, and Principal Celestia happily walked Spike back into the school, reassured that the teams will keep their promise. After that, the group walked up to the sidewalk, summoned their cars onto the pavement, and drove off to Rarity's boutique shop.
Dusk was still over the horizon, while over at the Canterlot City version of the Carousel Boutique, Rarity wasted no time in searching for the perfect colors and fabric to design Team Furious' new clothing line. Everyone else waited a little impatiently for Rarity's return, as indeed she deed, proudly holding different fabrics in her hand.
"Alright, ladies and gentlemen! Let us get fabulous!"
Rarity had the boys of Team Furious draw out and color their outfits, based on their inspirations of their favorite movie characters, on paper, first. Charlie's design show of a black leather biker jacket, similar to Sunset Shimmer's old black jacket, but with a custom hood, and flames running down to the end of the arm sleeves, and around the surface of the hood. Then, it showed of black jeans with flames at the bottom of its sleeves, and finally, some fingerless black racing gloves, and black steel-toe boots. Charlie wanted that Ghost Rider-like feel to his new outfit, so Rarity understood what he meant.
David's new outfit was "Ghostbusters" based, as he wanted a pale yellowish-brown cotton jacket, with the No Ghost logo on the right arm side, and his last name stitched in red, and he finally wanted it with dark blue pants, and dark brown construction boots. He can materialize the Ghostbusters equipment with his hands, to make him look like a real, yet slightly modern Ghostbuster.
Sam wanted that Wild West kind of outfit, with a white duster jacket, blue jeans, light brown square-toe boots, and with his original white cowboy hat he always wear.
Bobby was the last to proudly sketch out his design. He displayed a black based, yellow striped, and white striped sport bike racing leather jacket, with black and yellow striped pants, and all-black sneakers. He also added blue sunglasses, simply to look cool. Rarity thought it was perfect for Bobby, and ultimately impressed.
As for the girls of Team Furious, Rachael wanted a Gothic, steampunk Victorian, black hooded tailcoat, with red arm sleeves, which surprisingly has her Plymouth Fury's white stripes on the sides. She also wanted some black jeans with a few holes, and black and red high heel buckle boots that slightly reaches her knees The last on her drawing was a red, long V-shaped fingerless glove. Rarity was a little hesitant of this particular design, but if it's what makes Rachael look like a worthy adversary to her enemies...
On the other hand, Lily wanted a Herbie themed outfit: a white based, and red and blue striped racing uniform, with a white retro racing helmet with a black visor. It was similar to the uniform actor Lindsay Lohan wore, during the race event in the desert in the Herbie: Fully Loaded movie. Herbie's number 53 was placed on the left side, where Lily's heart is located underneath. Rarity happily agreed to make sure it was correctly designed for Lily's size.
Last, but not least, Taylin drew an outfit she had seen, inspired from a magical girl anime show once, but she replaced its original colors that fits her style. It was a uniformed purple and pink striped tailcoat, with its long skirt reaching down past the knees. She also added a dark purple, extra long fingerless gloves, and purple ankle boots. Looking at this design made Rarity imagine Twilight wearing it herself, due to its familiar colors.
That was it for Team Furious' outfit designs,and they all waited for Rarity's answer of how long it will take to complete them. Then, they saw her expression turn from neutral into nervous, as if there was a problem.
"Sooo..." Rarity chuckled nervously, "about the estimated time of finalization for your creations. It will perhaps take... four to five days."
"WHAT!?!?!" Her friends all cried in unison. Does it really take that long to make all of it? Because time was not on their side right now.
"Well, it does take time to correctly stitch and sow every last detail of your new clothing styles, and the materials don't come cheap, you know. I'm deeply sorry, since we don't have enough time to save Los Angeles."
Given what Rarity had said about the required clothing materials, they all sighed deeply, and understood that it really does take time.
"If only there was a way for Team Furious to just scan the drawings with their powers, and simply create their new outfits in a few seconds!" Pinkie sighed, oblivious to the solution she had just spoken.
The Rainbooms looked at their mentioned friends, whose eyes were widened with surprise. Team Furious all focused on their drawings, and then closed their eyes. They each tapped into their secret powers, allowing them use to their imagination to transform their current street clothes, as special effects began to appear. Suddenly, only David, Sam, Bobby, and Lily were engulfed in bright white light, and their desired apparels magically appeared around their bodies, while the remaining three each have different transforming effects.
Charlie was surrounded by flames moving upwards, which didn't burn anyone or anything, and his new flame designed clothing materialized onto him, as he opened eyes to reveal black eyes with flaming orange pupils, only to revert back to normal after a few seconds.
Rachael had a rather dark transformation, as her body was covered in a pitch black shadow, with black and red flames circling around, and her Gothic outfit was now worn on her. As her eyes shot open, they were slightly glowing red-orange with bright yellow cat-like pupils, but returned to normal just like Charlie.
Taylin's transformation was a little special, as her street clothing were now transforming into her chosen attire in plain sight, while magical sparkles and pink energy surged around her. When she opened her eyes, they were glowing white for a few seconds, and were now back to normal, as well.
As the Rainbooms, Spike, and Starlight witnessed the sudden transformations of Team Furious, they were bedazzled by their new ensembles, and they all loved them. Even Rarity was totally ecstatic by all this, that she only fainted onto her usual fainting couch. Team Furious all looked into a nearby mirror and they, too, were enjoying their new outfit great excitement. And it was all thanks to Pinkie's unusual thinking, who was happily jumping up and down.
"Wow!" Taylin gasped. "My costume looks gorgeous!"
"I am loving this suit already!" Bobby exclaimed.
"Now this is the real deal!" Rachael smirked.
"I am so going to wear this all the time!" Lily squealed with joy.
Everyone was so filled with positive feelings, until Sunset cleared her throat to get their attention. She was ready to start heading outside, to travel to the world of Team Furious' home. Applejack managed to wake Rarity up and they both stood by their friends.
"I think I speak for all us here, and I say we're now ready to go save their world."
"So am I." Starlight
Sunset smiled at Charlie. "Ready, Charlie?"
"Heh, we're ready." Charlie grinned and clenched his fists. "Villains, beware!"
Everyone stepped outside of the boutique and onto the empty streets, and Team Furious switch their new outfits back into their street clothes. There were no cars or pedestrians roaming around, and they noticed that the sun was now setting.
"So, how do we get to L.A.?" Rainbow asked.
"I don't think we can right now." Starlight reminded them. "Remember when I told you what the Royal Princesses from Equestria said, about the spell I accidentally used to bring them here? It only last for a whole week, and we've only got a few days left!" Everyone groaned
"Well, that is a problem right there." Rachael grumbled. "Any ideas?
Remembering that he had two Cutie Mark necklace charms, that he was wearing underneath his T-shirt, can open a portal to Equestria, Canterlot High, and Earth, Charlie grabbed hold of the Sunset Shimmer version with his left hand, and started to focus on making a portal appear. It suddenly did after a few seconds. It was the same portal as before, and Charlie explained that Princess Twilight gave the two charms to him, and how they can be used to activate their magic on Earth. The rest of Team Furious remembered that they were wearing their own necklaces charms, too. Except Taylin. Knowing this, Charlie temporarily closed the portal, and decided to give his Twilight Sparkle charm over to Taylin, as he held it out to her.
"Taylin, I'd like to give you this. Since I only need one, and that there are seven of us, this will help you use your magic back home anytime you want."
Taylin was very surprised that Charlie was sacrificing this charm, that the Princess of Friendship gave to him, but he was willing to go ahead on this, and so was she. She respectfully took it, and wore it around her neck, while thinking of using Twilight's magic with her right hand. She found out that she can also use telekinesis, as she lifted a newspaper laying on the ground.
"Oh my gosh! I can use Twilight's magic, too! Thank you, Charlie!"
She quickly hugged him for a few moment, grateful that she wouldn't be the odd one out. Then, she let go embarrassed, after her friends chuckled at them. For a few short seconds, Team Furious practiced on what magic these charms have, and they found out that too can use the same magic as the Rainbooms have from their Geode necklaces, although they decided to use them when it's really necessary. It was no wonder their charms were shaped like their friends' Cutie Marks.
Finally, it was time. Charlie reopened the portal at the middle of the road, and everybody stood 10 feet away from. They were about to face the toughest challenges ever on the other side. Not to mention facing off Chrysalis and whoever else is with her.
"Well, this is It." Sunset gazed at the portal, then to her friends. "We may have just won the fight against the sirens, but this is gonna' be different."
"That's right." Charlie agreed. "We're not dealing with crooked people, or magic problems. This is a whole different level."
"But, no matter what's going to happen," Bobby grinned.
"We will face this level together." Rarity finished.
"Yeah!" Rainbow punched her fist in the air. "Facing impossible odds is what we do best!"
"And this time," Rachael crossed her arms and smirked, "you'll have us by your side the entire time."
"But, um," Fluttershy reminded nervously, "Let's not get hurt while we're at it, like we promised Principal Celestia."
"Because no one wants to see any cuts and bruise when we return here." David agreed.
"Well, we'll just have to make sure that doesn't happen." Applejack smiled.
"But there's somethin' ah' wanna' point out to Charlie." Sam looked at his friend. "The rest of us have different cars to drive, but you drove yer' black Charger the entire time. Don't you have a second favorite car you like to drive?"
As a matter of fact, Charlie does have a second favorite vehicle he had in mind, and it was from one of the first three Fast and Furious films, but he didn't want to spoil it just yet.
"I do, but you guys will have to wait and see." Charlie winked. "I might ruin the surprise."
"Ooooohh!" Pinkie smiled. "What kind of surprise? I love surprises!"
"Yeah, so do I!" Lily agreed and grinned.
"I think we really need to wait for that." Taylin chuckled.
"I'm sure Charlie will show us what his second car will be soon enough." Twilight concurred.
They all chuckled together. And without any minutes to lose, they walked away from the swirling blue gateway, and stopped 20 feet away, to get a good running start. Team Furious were the first to go through and the Rainbooms stood behind them. They each made a starting pose, and after 5 second countdown by the Rainbooms, the moment they began sprinting to the portal, they were quickly surrounded with their special power effects, until they were all suddenly in the driver seats of their street cars. Charlie performed a wheelie in his Charger, and Taylin chased after Charlie in her Supra, leaving everybody else in the dust. The way Charlie and Taylin raced each other reminded the rest of their friends of that iconic last drag race scene between Dominic Toretto and Brian O'Connor in "The Fast and the Furious." Charlie went through the rift first, with Taylin following with a 1 second margin, and their friends were now close behind, until Lily's S2000 was the last car to close the portal.
The future of Earth now rests on their shoulders and the battle for Los Angeles has just begun.
