Yeah, it’s safe to say that things have gone from bad to worse.
After the second round and the weird oddities that occurred, as well as the revelation that Cato carries a sword around and is dating Applejack, the latter of which was particularly shocking to me since I had no idea how such a massive boy could win the heart of such a beautiful girl with anything other than his looks, our situation looked pretty desperate. The Wonderbolts practically trounced us in the Tri-Cross Relay, with another revelation being that the monstrous blonde is good at archery. Like Jesus Christ, is there anything that this guy isn’t good at?
Either way, he was something that was unstoppable and Principal Cinch knew it. Speaking to the Shadowbolts nearby, she said that failure was not an option.
“If we are to win these games, then we shall have to fight fire with fire, and turn Canterlot High’s magic against them.”
I was stunned. Was she crazy?
The answer was yes when it turned out that Twilight Sparkle, one of our own students, had Magic contained inside a device of hers. Twilight tried to refuse, but Cinch apparently decided to fucking blackmail the poor girl by using her application to Everton as leverage. That was just fucked up. I felt betrayed.
Then, things went from bad to worse when Sunny, Lemon, Sour, Sugarcoat, and Indigo joined her in pressuring Twilight to “unleash the magic”.
“Are they all fucking insane?!” Royal Pin said next to me. Then, Blueblood and his gang joined in the calls to unleash the magic. Pretty soon, every other male Crystal Prep student except for me, Trenderhoof, Royal Pin, Neon Lights, and Jet Set had joined the chant.
“Dudes, I don’t mean to state the obvious, but this looks bad” Trenderhoof said, causing anxious murmurs of agreement from the rest of us.
“Agreed. But what can we do?” asked Jet Set.
“The only thing we can do. Wait till shit hits the fan, and then run for our lives” said Royal Pin.
I turned to Canterlot’s corner. There was Cato himself, staring back over at our corner. I honestly do believe one look at my eyes told him all that he needed to know, because his face turned deadly serious and he sheathed his sword and cracked his knuckles, obviously preparing for a fight.
Soon, it came time to start the final event. As soon as Principal Celestia said go, Cinch yelled at Twilight, accompanied by practically every other student, except a few, from Crystal Prep.
“Now, Twilight! Release The Magic!”
“No! DON’T!” I called out. But it was too late. A transformation had begun, the results of which would never leave us the same ever again. While that was happening, part of the magic literally split away from the ball surrounding Twilight and went straight for Canterlot’s side, engulfing none other than..
Cato.
