Needless to say, with the help of the others, the four boys succeeded in their goal. Now, the Fall Formal was back on for that night. In typical fashion, however, which in their circumstances would be reasonably understandable, the four of them were on high alert, eyes peeled for any signs of Sunset Shimmer causing trouble. The girls hung around in a large group, with the four’s male friends on the perimeter, fending off any unwanted male attention. That was easier done than said, for most of Canterlot High’s male students were visibly intimidated at the sight of Thresh. Either way, it was a quiet sector, and so far, nothing was going off track. 

Then, Robbie and his group arrived and Cameron immediately spotted trouble. Robbie’s eyes weren’t normal. In fact, they looked like he was in a trance. After 30 minutes, the girls headed to the girl’s restroom, followed by Cameron, at a distance. Soon after that, Cato headed to the men’s restroom. Had he known that Snips and Snails lay in wait with a baseball bat and a pocket knife behind the restroom door waiting to ambush him, he might have decided to follow Cameron and hold in his pee instead. But he didn’t, and so, as soon as the door to the restroom closed, Snips whacked him in the back of the head with the baseball bat and Cato fell to the ground, out cold.

Meanwhile, Cameron stood by the ladies’ restroom door when he saw, out of the corner of his eye, the trance-induced Robbie and his pals heading towards him, with malicious grins on their faces. Cameron immediately stood between them and the doorway. 

“Out of the way, punk” Robbie sneered. “We just want to talk with the girls.” 

“You are not going to hurt them. You’ll have to get through me first!” Cameron shouted. 

“Fine. Take him!” Robbie shouted, and his goons charged Cameron. The first one drew his pocket knife and went to stab him, but Cameron was faster and kicked the boy by the waist back into two of his comrades, knocking all three down to the ground. One of them cut his cheek with his knife, but Cameron didn’t flinch and instead grabbed the boy by the pants and flinged him into several of his pals, knocking them down. One charged Cameron with his baseball bat. However, the violet eyed boy simply smacked the kid in the face, took his baseball bat while he was still dazed, and then shoved him into two of his friends, again knocking them to the ground. 

With a weapon in his hand, he was now able to use his training to disarm four more of his attackers that were also wielding baseball bats. Taking a baseball bat in his other hand, Cameron started dominating the opposition. He then sheaved one of the bats in his belt and continued the fight. He whacked one kid in the groin with the bat as he tried to stab him, then grabbed another kid by the shirt and pushed him underneath two of his friends, sending both of them down to the ground. By this time, the girls had noticed the brawl that was going on outside of the restroom and hunkered down inside of it, wishing that Cameron would remain safe. The no holds barred whack-a-thon continued for another 3 minutes, before there was only Robbie left. He gave Cameron the middle finger. 

“This isn’t over, punk-boy!” He shouted, and ran off, leaving Cameron to survey the carnage.

In the chaos that had developed when Snips and Snails kidnapped Spike, the other three (Flash, Urchin, and Marvel) went looking for Cato. In their haste to get to Spike, Snips and Snails had forgotten to close the restroom door after leaving it open for a bit to prevent the smell of blood from stinking up the restroom. As such, it wasn’t long before the three of them found the unconscious, face bleeding blonde. 

“Cato! Cato! What the hell happened?” 

Cato came to after a few seconds, groggy and with great pain in both cheeks. He turned to face Flash. 

“I have no idea. I walked in and then somebody struck me from behind and knocked me out” he said to them, then noticed his cut-up face. “What the hell happened to me?! And where’s my suit?” 

“We can find that later” Urchin said, frantically. “Snips and Snails got Spike and they’re bringing him to Sunset.” 

“Oh shit, we got to hurry” Cato replied, and the other three bailed out as fast as they could. Cato followed, but stopped for a second when he saw his wrecked beyond repair Fall Formal Outfit burning to a crisp in the trash can. 

“Aw fuck, come on” he groaned, slightly saddened. “That was my favorite outfit.” Then, he jogged off. 

In the time that it took for him to get to the others, Sunset, Robbie, and Snips and Snails transformed into demons, and Robbie went back inside towards Cameron intent on shoving him out of the way with his new powers. Needless to say, this fresh confrontation only ended with Robbie overpowered and put into a choke hold by Cameron, who dragged him out to his brother.

When Cato joined Flash, Urchin, and Marvel, the situation was looking grim. Sunset Shimmer had knocked down Twilight and her friends, who had stayed behind in the gym while the other girls went into the bathroom, and was going after the other students. Meanwhile, the other girls came out from the bathroom, only for Sunset to seize the three sirens and render them helpless while their energy was drained out of their amulets and into Sunset to give her more power.

“This looks bad, guys” Flash stated. Just then, Cameron came over, dragging the demonized Robbie with him. Cato looked at the sight, and then had a lightbulb go off in his brain. Then, he saw Snips and Snails coming at them, eager to retrieve their overpowered comrade. 

Cato started barking orders. “Cameron, give me Robbie! Marvel, Urchin, hold off Snips and Snails! Flash, try to get to Twilight and her friends!” 

“What are you going to do?” Flash asked, as Cato got Robbie in a choke-hold and then set out towards Sunset Shimmer.

“Probably the most craziest stunt I’ve pulled in my entire life” Cato replied, as Cameron joined Urchin and Marvel in keeping Snips and Snails occupied. 

When Cato was about 5 yards away from Sunset Shimmer, he raised his voice. 

“Hey, Shimmer!”

Sunset turned around. 

“Shoot me.”
