Skywalker was making his way towards the cafeteria, further down he saw vice-principal Luna and miss Cheerilee talking with each other.
"You have been different lately, Luna. You're looking more and more like a professional!", Cheerilee complimented her.
"Thank you. I have been I have been studying more than just making preparations. The thing is... I have decided top stop wasting my time, always living only in the present.", the vice-principal said with a smile. Miss Cheerilee was impressed, she wondered what brought this on.
"Well, when I was just goofing off one weekend... I met someone. So I took a close look at my life. Its all thanks to that person.", just as the two wanted to walk away, the vice-principal bumped into Skywalker.
"Oh, Skywalker. I-is everything okay?", she started as she dusted herself off. She noticed that he had dropped his phone, so she picked it up for him, it seemed vice-principal Luna noticed the save-screen on it.
It depicted Zael and Calista standing on a beach, with on the background, 'I love you'.
The vice-principal looked to be frozen in horror, "Th-This...", was all she could get out. miss Cheerilee looked over her shoulder, "What a charming confession of love! Did you make this Skywalker?", the younger teacher asked.
"It's from my online girlfriend.", Skywalker explained this seemed to snap the vice-principal out of her shock. "O-Online... girlfriend!?!", she shouted, her blue eyes still wide in shock. The other two looked at her, "Never mind that! Wh-What's going on!? Why would Skywalker have this screenshot!? D-Don't tell me you got it online!? But the only people who were on that server were...", she muttered, then it hit her, the most logical explanation. "N-No... No way... Is this a joke!?", the vice-principal broke down in a big no, while her face become red.
Skywalker and miss Cheerilee looked concerned while the younger teacher tried to calm her down. "Skywalker, please stay with her. I will get Nurse Redheart.", the younger teacher said, as the student nodded.
When miss Cheerilee was out of ear shot, Luna looked up to him, "Skywalker... Don't tell me, your Zael?", the vice-principal asked. "I... I said that all... to you?", she asked and he nodded, "Hello, Calista.", Skywalker said, confirming that he was Zael. "Oh. My. God. I wish I was dead! Just kill me now!", she started to break down, tears streaming down her face. Skywalker rubbing her shoulder. "Calm down.", he said trying to calm them down.
"I am... Calista. I am Calista, dammit! You got a problem with that!?", she suddenly shouted, her cheeks still red. "This is so embarassing! But... There was one thing I wanted to say, if we ever met face to face... It was thanks to you that I was able to turn my life around.", her expression turned to anger at the smile on Skywalker's face. "Wipe that smile off your face! Or I will wipe it off for you with my fists!!", the vice-principal shouted, she then tried to ask him something but she couldn't spit it out, "Oh to hell with this!", she then ran away, leaving Skywalker in an empty hallway.
A little while later, a shocked looking Twilight came running towards her friends on the parking lot. "The Fall Formal isn't happening tonight!", Twily shouted, gaining a "what" from the rest. "It had to be postponed because Sunset Shimmer had Snips and Snails ruin all of Pinkie Pie's decorations."
Skywalker became awfully quite. Rarity asked him if he was okay, but he assured them that he was fine. "If I don't get Unity back tonight, I won't be able to go back to Equestria for another thirty moons! That's like... two years and six month's? Wait that's not so bad... I am pretty much a superhero here... Well I'm also a superhero back home but...", he thought as suddenly Spike popped out of his backpack. "Let them know what's really at stake if you don't get the Element tonight. They'll help us figure something out. And beside, these guys and girls rallied around you because they saw what was in your heart! They aren't going to feel any differently about you when they find out you're a Supremehuman from a different World.", the purple dragon turned dog said to him.
Skywalker smiled at him, "I'm glad you followed me here, Spike.", he barked as Skywalker approached his friends. He was about to explain everything to them but Pinkie cut him off.
"You're from an alternate World and you're a Supremehuman knight there and the crown actually has a magical element embedded in it that helps power up other magical elements and without it they don't work anymore, and you need them all to help protect your World, and if you don't get the crown tonight, you'll be stuck in this world and you won't be able to get back for like a really, really long time!", she said quickly, earning a 'are you serious' look from her friends, save Skywalker.
"Yeah, I'm pretty sure that isn't the reason.", Rainbow muttered, turning to Skywalker who had a surprised expression on his face, "That's pretty much spot-on...", he admitted slowly. Big Mac leans towards Phoenix, "He, Phoenix! Let's find a Bane for Jason to beat up!", the tall teen said, his friend adding a "I know right!", as everybody started to laugh. Skywalker, slightly irritated, moved to one of the parked cars and lifted it above his head.
The laughter stopped dead. "How did you do that!?", Rainbow shouted, her friend replaying that he eats a lot of protein. "Yea but... How did you do THAT!?", they all looked surprised, Phoenix exclaiming that he really is Superman. Suddenly, Spike comes out of the backpack, and started to talk as well, "Nope, he's just an ordinary guy... Who can crush meteors with his bare hand, can fly so fast the speed of light is jealous... Shoots lasers out of his eyes...", now the teens were even more shocked.
"He can talk!? Why can he talk!?", Twilight shouted. Spike grinned before he continued to explain, "Yeah, and back where I come from, I'm not even a dog! I'm a ferocious, fire-breathing dragon!".
"Your a baby dragon who has really weird dreams about Rarity who is dating McGrath in our world.", Skywalker corrected him making this World version of McGrath and Rarity blush. "How did you know all that?", he asked his pink haired friend. "Just a hunch.", she said shrugging.
I guess Pinkie is the same in every reality.
"Wait a minute! Let me get this straight. You're a Supremehuman, from another World?", Applejack asked as he nodded. The others gave each other a look, before claiming "That... is... awesome!".
Spike gave him a 'See? Told you.' look, making the young knight snicker, "You guys take it very well. Even though it was pretty fast and ridicules what Pinkie said."
With the help of the super friends, they had managed to clean up the mess Snips and Snails made and the Fall Formal could still continue. We now find ourselves at the big night. Skywalker, dresses in his usual formal ware, was getting some drinks but the drink he had ordered wasn't available. "What do you mean, you don't have beer!?", Skywalker shouted, the guy behind the counter informed him that they weren't allowed to serve alcoholic drinks. "I find your lack of alcohol disturbing!", Skywalker shouted as he and Griffifth walked away.
"Anybody see Sunset Shimmer?", he black haired knight asked his friends, but none had seen her. "Maybe she was too embarrassed to show! She's gotta know you won by a landslide!", Rainbow complimented, as he and Fluttershy looked at each other. Both knew their short relationship will end after tonight. "So if you really have X-ray vision, what kind of underwear is principal Celestia wearing?", Griffifth asked with a smirk, Skywalker looked away, making his friend think he is blushing. "Oh, I'm embarrassing you... So do you have an alien name?", the blond asked. "Like what? Kal-El?", Skywalker asked still not facing his friend, but before Griffith could respond, he turned his gaze back and said, "Pink.". The blond looked confused, "principal Celestia's underwear is pink."
The music died down and under loud cheers, the principal walked up the stage, "First off, I wanna say how wonderful everything looks tonight. You all did a magnificent job pulling things together after the unfortunate events of earlier. And now, without further ado, I would like to announce the winner of this year's Fall Formal crown. The Ruler of this year's Fall Formal is... Jason Skywalker!", the gym exploded in cheers as the hero walked up the stage receiving the Element of Unity, which had transformed into a crown. The principal was about to congratulate him, but his super hearing picked something up. "Skywalker! Help!", Spike shouted, making him looked worried. "What's wrong?", Big Mac asked when the hero jumped off the stage, rushing towards the source of the sound. "They've got Spike!", he explained.
They arrived outside to see Snails holding Spike while, Shimmer was holding a large hammer above the statue that led back to Equestria.
"Hurt him and I'll hurt you!", Skywalker warned threateningly, loosing up his tie. Shimmer chuckled, ordering them to let Spike go. "I wouldn't dream of it... I’m not a monster, Ser Skywalker. You don't belong here.", she said while Spike hurried behind Skywalker.
"Neither do you.", Skywalker shot back dryly. Shimmer looked angrily, "Shut up! Give me the Element Of Unity, and you can go back to Equestria tonight. Or keep it, and never go home.", she said, ready to swing the hammer. "Uhm... Won't the hammer go through the portal like everything else?", Skywalker pointed out, making Shimmer looked surprised. "Doesn't matter! The portal will be closing on its own in less than an hour.".
"No.", he told her, taking everyone by surprise. "What!? Equestria. Your friends. Lost to you forever! Don’t you see what I’m about to do to the portal?", she shouted in surprise, she couldn't believe someone could be this selfless, he must be playing at something. "Yes, but I have also seen what you have been able to do here without your magic. Equestria will find a way to survive without me and my Element.", Skywalker started, standing up tall.
"No, they won't.", Pinkie muttered before Skywalker placed his hand on his left chest, closing his eyes. "Dashie, Twily, McGrath, Rarity, Griff, Pinkie, Phoenix, AJ, Sutakira, Flutters, Big Mac, they can handle selves.", he opened his eyes, glaring at her, "This place might not, if I allow it to fall into your hands. So go ahead, destroy the portal. You are not getting this crown!", he shouted determent, taking his opponent a back.
"I can't believe you were going to do that for us!", Big Mac said, as his other friend approach him. "It's no wonder you are a real live knight!", Rarity added. "Oh, yes, he is so very special. Knight of The Wind...", Sunset Shimmer muttered darkly before ordering her minions to grab him. Snips and Snails charge at Skywalker but he countered with two fast punches to their chest, sending them into the ground. Struggling to breath, Snips knocked the crown out of his hand, and unfortunately, it landed close to Sunset Shimmer.
"I'll take that!", she said as she grabbed the crown, "At last, more power than I have ever imagined.", she chuckled as she puts on the crown and a black darkness starts to surrounded her. "Power! Unlimited power!!", Shimmer's voice came from the darkness as frightened screams from other students filled the air. When the darkness was finished being absorbed by her, Sunset Shimmer had transformed into demonic creature, let's just call her Sunset Satan, was left standing in the crater.
"Great. She's a succubus now.", McGrath muttered as he and his other friend took cover. "She is adorable.", Skywalker squealed, gaining a odd look from the rest. "I've had to jump through so many hoops tonight just to get my hands on this damned crown and it really should have been mine all along. But let’s let bygones be bygones. I am your ruler now, and you will be loyal to me!", she shouted spreading her wings and took flight, before sending streams of magic to the fellow students, brainwashing them into obedience. More frightened screams as Sunset Satan clearly enjoyed her new powers.
"Well, that, Eco Kid looks fine.", Pinkie noted when she studied one of the brainwashed students. Sunset Satan ordered her two minions Snips and Snails to round all the students up and bring them to the portal. "Spoiler alert: I was bluffing when I said I was going to destroy the portal. I don't want to rule this pathetic little high school; I want Equestria! And with my own little teenage army behind me I am going to get it!", She cackled as she floated above the students, she scanned the crowd for the one who had been a pain in her ass, when she spotted him, standing determent to protect everyone.
"What exactly do you think you’re going to do to stop me? I have the most powerful magic in all the Worlds, and you have nothing! You are nothing! You must be the most argent prick ever to think your still winning!", Sunset Satan taunted as she smirked at him, but the smirk disappeared when his friends from this World appeared behind him, declaring their support to him. "Gee, the band really is all back together again. Now step aside!", She demanded as she landed, charging a fire ball in her hand, "Skywalker has tried to interfere with my plans one too many times already and he needs to be dealt with.".
She was taken a back by his sudden laughter, surely he must have lost his mind. "Oh, you think Unity is your ally? But you merely adopted Unity; I was born with it, molded by it. Unity is made by the people you meet and how you feel about them, they're what ties us together even when we're apart! My friends are what make me strong!", he shouted, taken a few steps forward, ready to shield his friends.
"Duh, you're strong because of the ties you have with other people!", Sunset Satan shot back, he nodded at this. "The magic contained in my Element was able to unite with those that helped create it. Honesty. Kindness. Laughter. Generosity. Loyalty. Magic. Amplified by Unity they create a power beyond anything you could imagine and it is a power you don't have the ability to control. Unity betrays you, because it belong to me and my friends! My friends are my power!", with that statement, a strong wind picked up, Skywalker demonstrating that he still had all his powers all along, as he stepped forward, ready for battle.
"T-Those are just words.", Sunset Satan said, a little scared because of the intensity of his eyes, "You've lost. We all know how this battle is gonna end, with one more Superman who's never gonna walk again!", she shouted as the two aliens charged at each other. Their two fist connected, creating a shock wave that forced everybody else unto the ground.
Skywalker and Sunset Satan were forced back, both landing on their feet, but sliding into it. "You have become a monster, Shimmer's and I'm going to stop you.", Skywalker said as he started to float of the ground. She hissed as she flapped her wings, charging towards him at an amazing speed, just as he did.
The following clash of energy send the two into the parking lot, just as Skywalker stood back on his feet, Shimmer's grabbed a random car and smashed it on Skywalker, unfortunately, it was Flash Sentry's car. The teen screamed out in agony when Skywalker blasted the car off him, "Didn't she suffer enough!", he shouted as the steering wheel landed in his hands.
The two charged forward once again, but this time, their clash took them high into the skies above. Not reacting fast enough, Skywalker managed to deliver, one powerful uppercut on Sunset's jaw, sending her flying into the stratosphere. Sunset crashed through a satellite, managing to get a hold of it. Seeing that her opponent was following her, she gave it a swift kick, sending it towards Skywalker, who managed to destroy it with his Heat Vision.
Using this opportunity, Sunset Shimmer gave a hammer fist straight to the side of his head, sending him crashing back to earth. He felt a hand at his throat and a fist pounding into his face. Grabbing Sunset by her own throat, he started to beat her face in with equal force.
"Peace is a lie, there is only passion. Through Passion, I gain strength. Through strength, power. Through power, victory!", she shouted and with each word, she gave him a powerful punch. "Don't forget the rest. Through victory, my chains are broken. The Force shall free me.", at that last word, Skywalker had managed to flip her over, giving a powerful punch to her jaw, before the two crashed, through the school and into the earth.
The two moaned, but Skywalker was the first to recover, reacting quickly, he grabbed Sunset by her head, pulling her into a head-lock.
She tried to break free but his grip was too strong, thinking of a plan, she spotted his friends standing a few feet away. "If you love these people so much, you can mourn them!", Sunset declared as her eyes glowed a crimson red, before firing a stream of Heat Vision at her targets, but thanks to the head lock, she missed but the stream was creeping closer to them.
"No! Don't do this! Stop!", Skywalker shouted out in horror, nearly begging her to stop. She let out a sadistic cackle declaring that she would never stop. Quickly moving his hand, Skywalker poked her eyes, causing Sunset to close them and roar in pain.
"What the hell! Who does that!", She shouted, just able to recover before Skywalker delivers a powerful and quick barrage of punches in her stomach, sending her flying. He flies past his stunned opponent and turns around to knee her twice in the back of her head before back flip kicking her away.
Skywalker lands on the ground and raises his hand, gathering all the energies Sunset had set lose, to charge a rainbow energy sphere. He turns around and throws the energy sphere, which has a delayed effect, but finally disintegrates the dark energies from Sunset from the inside.
"Welcome to Equestria... Bitch!", Skywalker shouted as the Element Of Unity landed in his hand. When the smoke cleared, Sunset had turned back to her normal self, but was still very weak. She sat up to the Skywalker standing over her.
"You will never rule in Equestria. Any power you may have had in this World is gone. Tonight, you have shown everyone who you really are. You have shown them what is in your heart.", he declared, crossing his arms. Sunset lowered her head, small sobs started to be heard from her as tears fell on the ground. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I didn't know there was another way.", she sobbed.
"...Wow. Shimmer sets a new record for enemy to friend. Princess Luna a 1000 years, Discord less than a season, Sunset Shimmer mere seconds.", Skywalker thought as he walked up to her. "The magic of Friendship doesn't just exist in Equestria, it is everywhere. You can seek it out. Or you can be forever alone. The choice is yours.", he said sternly.
"But... but all I have ever done since being here is drive everyone apart. I don't know the first thing about friendship.", Sunset sobbed, she saw Skywalker raise his hand, she closed her eyes prepared to be hit but the punch never came.
Opening them, she saw that Skywalker was holding out his hand, giving her a friendly smile. "It's never too late to start over.", he said as she gingerly took his hand, helping her back to his feet. "That's my Skywalker! Woohoo!", Spike shouted, turning the attention of the student to the dog, surprising them. "Did that dog just talk? Woah. Weird.", one of them said, earning a raised eyebrow from both Skywalker and Spike.
"Seriously? You just witnessed a superman fight a demon, he destroyed her inner darkness with an rainbow orb, but the talking dog is the weird thing about all this?", Skywalker said with a smirk. Rarity told them that she found Spike adorable. "Like the Sparity shipping isn't weird enough.", Skywalker thought but his attention was turned to the principal, who started to speak.
"A true knight in any world leads, not by forcing others to bow before him, but by inspiring others to stand with him. We have all seen that you are capable of just that. I hope you see it, too, Ser Skywalker.", she said and he nodded.
"Now, let's make...", Skywalker started before Pinkie joined in, "Party!", the crowed cheered as they followed him into the gym.
When the party was going, Skywalker had slipped out with his friends, wanting to say goodbye before he had to go. "You’ll look out for her, won’t you?", he asked them as he leaned against his motorcycle.
They nodded, assuring him that they would. "Of course, we will. Although I do expect some sort of apology for last spring's debacle.", Griffifth said while his other friend admired the motorcycle. "I have a feeling she'll be handing out a lot of apologies.", Skywalker said as he looked to his motor screen, before looking back at them. "I know we have only been friends for a short time, but I am going to miss you all.", he muttered but they all pulled him into a group hug.
He then turned to Fluttershy, both knew that this was coming but neither thought it would be so soon. She pulled him into a hug, "Just take care of your Worlds Fluttershy.", she whispered into his ear, making him nod. Both wiped away a tear. "We will meet again. I promise.", he said before turning on the engine of his motorcycle.
"You guys want to take a step aside.", Skywalker said as he put on his helmet before raving the engine, they take a few steps back and the Skybike blast off before, using the World Engine to create a portal back to Equestria.
Looking on Sunset Shimmer couldn't help but smile, "What are you smiling about, Shimmer?", Rainbow asked, starteling the red and yellow haired girl. "I just realized... I think he's kinda hot.", she added with a blush. Every one was silent for a moment before McGrath shouted, "What kind of crazy voodoo did he do to be such a chick magnet!?".
Arriving back at Equestria, Skywalker had arrived just outside Ponyville and much to his horror, he saw destruction everywhere, some buildings were on fire, if not completely destroyed. "Oh, crap...", was all he could mutter before his super hearing picked something up.
Arc III: Soul Phrase: Completed...
When your eyes take hold,
Tarot cards are folded,
These doors stay locked, with the key we hold
When ships set sails, and your wings fail
You can find your balance, in Ponyville
You cannot hide from me, because we're a family
Just let the power inside, take over, don't you cry
If you stay close to me, you will be freed
When the Dark Messiah calls, Equestria will fall
Arc IV: Worlds Nemesis...
Epilogue
Over at the Other World, a white man dressed in a suit with blue hair stood on a roof, looking over Cloudsdale. This was that Worlds version of Shining Armor. "Well?", a voice spoke from the darkness. Turning around, he saw Batmane standing a few feet behind him. "You really started something. Bent cops running scared, hope on the streets...", he began before handing Batmane a file.
"After the incident at Canterlot High, they have ordered the T.A.M.H. initiative.", Shining Armor explained while Batmane flipped through the file. It had seemed that the battle between the mysterious alien and a student called Sunset Shimmer had released some energy that granted certain individuals superpowers. "Don't worry. I will protect your little sister.", Batmane said as he walks to edge of roof. "I never said thank you.", Shining Armor said, the costumed vigilante turns around to look at him, "And you'll never have to.", Batmane spreads his cape, leaps off roof.
