In the school hallway, Twilight Sparkle ran as fast as she can. She had to be away from Main Six because she feared her amulet could absorbed the other three's magic or even hurt them a lot. She didn't want to hurt them as all she wanted is to know and understand the magic ability. She came upon to the lobby area as she panted heavily and slowly. She took a glance at her amulet.
"What the heck did you do?" Twilight asked in concern as she glanced and glared at it, "I only want to take a bit, not all of it! Not only you have absorbed their powers, but you also hurt them! This is not how I wanted it to be!"
Spike whimpered upon hearing of what his master had said. He unzipped the bag and whimpered at her. She turned and patted Spike's head gently.
"It's okay, Spike. I'm just upset and angry with this thing," Twilight assured Spike before turned and glared at her amulet, "I keep shutting this thing down, and the next it automatically turned on and absorbed the magic too much. This is getting ridiculous!"
"Twilight?!" The firm voice called. Twilight yelped as she quickly put the amulet around her neck. She turned and found Shadow Dragon, Lance Justicestrike and Nyx came and met up with her. He panted before sighed in relief, "You're alright? I was so worried about you?"
Twilight sighed, "Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you."
"What was that? Why did you run off?" Lance asked in concern.
Twilight held her amulet tight before shook her head and let hers off, "Sorry about that. I was just spooked by Pinkie's Surprise Party. I wasn't very used to it when I was 6."
"Hmm... Yeah, I guess it is true... You do hate clowns. They traumatized you a lot," Nyx admitted, "Wow... Talk about irony. Like how much robots traumatized me when I was 4."
Twilight giggled in amusement as she patted Nyx's head gently, "Yeah, I get it, Nyx. Come on, we'd better get back to others. The games were about to start."
Lance nodded, "You've said it. Come on."
Lance and Nyx turned and headed off at once. As Twilight Sparkle was about to move, but she was stopped by Shadow Dragon as he wanted to talk with her.
"Twilight, is there another reason why you suddenly left the gym?"
Twilight gulped as she scratched her head a bit, "Nope! Nothing else to run away from the gym! Really! You've got nothing to worry about!"
"Hmm... Okay, then..." Shadow Dragon turned to the front. He took a glance at her, "Just make sure that you don't get yourself into trouble especially your amulet. Iris will never think about career or even desire she wanted badly than helping her friends and people. She was special to me..."
As Shadow Dragon headed off, Twilight looked down for the moment as she clenched her fists tightly and angrily while looking mad. Why does he have to mention her?! Why must he bring that up?! It annoyed and irritated her!
As the amulet glowed darkly, Spike yelped in concern before whimpered in fear. Twilight gasped as she noticed Spike being scared. She patted him gently. As she calmed down from being angered, the amulet loses its glow. She turned to the front and headed off in meeting with her friends. What was with the dark glow of amulet?
Twilight and her friends returned to the gym. They saw everyone from both Canterlot High School and Crystal Prep Academy lined and stood in front of the stage. Both schools' staffs and even 15 each participants have gathered at the stage. The game was about to start but they have very important people coming here.
Founders of two schools - Virtue Dragon and his former generals of West Dragon Army for Canterlot High while Strikespell, Cunning Fury and his current generals of Imperial Phoenix Army for Crystal Prep Academy have arrived. Everyone clapped their hands before the founders.
Principal Celestia cleared her throat as she make announcement, "Minister Virtue Dragon and Mr. Secretary Strikespell, we are thankful of you both coming to our school for the Friendship Games. Both Canterlot High and Crystal Prep are honored to have you both here. Now, we all would like to hear what you have to say for the students."
Virtue Dragon smiled as he moved to speech stand, "Thank you, Principal Celestia. I am truly honored to be here. Not only will I support this school, but also you all. I am proud to see you all not only grown up well but how much bonds you have shared with each other. But never forget the most important part of school's purpose - Benevolence, Honor and Humiliation till the End. It is what makes united as one. It is what makes us to have friendship. Win or lose! We will work together as one. You're not just Wondercolts, but the mighty Western Dragons!"
Cantetlot High School students cheered wildly and happily for the Founder of Canterlot High. His principles and words have inspired them all.
As Virtue Dragon stand back, Strikespell gave smirk to him, "You sure have ways to inspire the students with such fantasy words. Now, it's my turn."
Strikespell approached to speech stand, "Students of Crystal Prep Academy - sons and daughters of Imperial Phoenix Army; you have gathered here for not only win the game but to show them the true meaning of power and strength. Our rival may have enhanced their skills and intellect, but we always grow stronger and smarter than any of them. With your talents and discipline; we will remind any of them that who is the true superior! Now, Shadowbolts; show them your what you are made of! Show them that you are the proud generation of the Imperial Phoenix Army! Bring the honor to your family!"
Crystal Prep Academy clapped their hands proudly and loudly in supporting Strikespell's speech and principles. They will not disappoint Mr. Secretary and Imperial Phoenix Army. They will not lose to Canterlot High.
15 participants from both Canterlot High and Crystal Prep can't wait to start the games. They will do anything to win the Friendship Games.
Strikespell turned and left the speech stand. He turned and looked at his mother.
"Don't try disappoint me, mother." Strikespell snickered, "They better put a great fight for my Shadowbolts. I want to see what you are capable of."
Principal Celestia sighed, "I assure you, my son. My students can do it. They won't underestimate you as the last four years."
"We shall see, mother." Strikespell smirked. He turned to Dean Cadance, "Cadance, proceed with your announcement."
Dean Cadance approached to speech stand, "Thank you, Mr. Secretary and Minister of Agriculture for your amazing speech. I'm sure you're all thrilled to start the first day of the Friendship Games. Our competitors will face off in every aspect of the CHS curriculum, culminating in the elimination equation finale. Now before we could proceed, we have a special surprise for everyone. Both schools will have their own mascots! So, please welcome them here!"
Everyone but staffs and founders gasped in surprise and shock of what they just heard. They have their own mascots?!
Both sides of stages revealed to the shocking crowds. They saw both Yeager Family and Human-Sized Autobots emerged from the west while G.I. Joe emerged from the east as they represented to both schools. They all gasped in shock and surprise of what they just saw.
"That's right, everyone! The Earth's Mightiest Heroes are here!" Dean Cadance exclaimed proudly, "Autobots represents Canterlot High for unity and benevolence while G.I. Joe represents Crystal Prep Academy for military strength and discipline. This is what represents to our school! There is no changes because the decision are made by both founders and staffs of the schools. Any question?"
"I have one," Sunset asked, "How did the Autobots get into Human Size? I didn't know they can change sizes."
Rainbow Dash nodded, "That is so awesome! I don't know how but it's so cool to meet the Autobots in our size! I always want them to sign on my jacket! Please; Hound, Crosshairs, Sideswipe and Drift!"
Hound, Crosshairs and Drift looked at Sideswipe who shrugged back as they all signed on Rainbow Dash's jacket. She took her jacket out. She looked at it carefully. She cheered wildly and happily. Everyone smiled yet laughed a bit to see Rainbow Dash being fan girl for Autobots.
Everyone chatted and muttered in agreement. Autobots are Cybertronian Titans that can transformed into anything that is electronic and gears for them but changes the sizes? How?
Cade smiled, "I'm glad you asked. I want you all pay attention to this one. This is one hard to believe it. Watch TV screens closely. Holobots, revealed yourselves!"
As TV HD widescreens lowered down, they revealed the screens of all Transformers standing outside of soccer field. They were all surprised and shocked of what they just saw. If these Autobots were outside, who were these robots?!
The Autobots slowly faded their colors and forms into manikin-like robots. Everyone gasped and awed in surprise and shock. These robots were actually manikins?!
"Oh. My. Goodness." Rarity said dramatically yet shocked.
"What... Are... Those?" Applejack asked in surprise.
Fluttershy awed, "That was amazing..."
"I'm glad you all asked. These are the Holobots. And I made them." Cade smiled as he approached to the Holobots, "They maybe not real as the Autobots but they're connecting to our friends. When the Autobots touched the Holobots, they both get connected together. When the Autobots moved, the Holobots followed them. Think of them like the puppeteer and puppet. Even if the Autobots are not on screen, their Holobots can see and hear for them to think and feel. And the reason why I did it is because is to get know more about them and befriend with them. Wouldn't you say, Optimus Prime?"
The Holobots transformed back into Autobots. From the screen, Optimus Prime smiled and so does his Holobot. Everyone awed in surprise.
"Yes, Cade. I am honored to be among you, my fellow friends," Optimus Prime smiled as he turned to Roadblock who was looking at him. He raised his right hand up, "May the best team win, Roadblock."
Roadblock smiled as he shook Optimus Prime's hand, "The honor is mine, Optimus Prime. I wish your team luck too."
Everyone cheered for both Autobot Leader and G.I. Joe Leader in shaking each other hands proudly and gently. They maybe rivals but they respected their favorite heroes so much. They will do what they can to win the games for their mascots.
Dean Cadance smiled as she continued her speech, "Without further a due, let us continued. Welcome to the first event, the Academic Decathlon! You'll be scored on chemistry, home-ec and everything in between. But remember, only the nine students from each team with the most points will move on to event number 2. Good luck!"
Both 15 Participants looked at each other. The mascots stood besides with the respective schools. They all looked competitive and determined as they will give what they have to win the Friendship Games. Principal Cinch was even determined to win it as well while Principal Celestia and Vice-Principal Luna remained calm. They will not lose!
Cunning Fury smirked, "Everything has gone according to the plan. Let the games begin..."
Thus, the game begins...
Wondercolts: Ho! We're gonna take you down
Ho! We're gonna take you down!
Take you down! (Ho! We're gonna take you down!)
Take you down! (Down, down, down)
Shadowbolts: (Oh oh!) We're here to take you out
(Aw aw!) We're here to take you out (Aw aw!)
Take you out! (We're here to take you out!)
Take you out!
15 Participants from both Canterlot High and Crystal Prep dressed in their lad coats while putting their goggles on. They started with their chemistry. They studied analyzed the situation. They then write down all the information and theory they have learned about chemistry while trying to figure how they mixed the chemical together.
Both Autobots and G.I. Joe stood besides with two respective schools in supporting and cheering them to win it. Principal Celestia, Vice Principal Luna, Dean Cadance and Shining Armor wrote everything down on their paperclip board from what they observed on student's performances and abilities on chemistry. Both Minister Virtue Dragon and Secretary Strikespell also judged on the event as well.
Wondercolts: We're not about to let you win, so get out of our way
Think you got us beat, but we're here to stay
United strong, yeah, we'll take you down
You're not so tough, now you're in our town
Both 15 Participants from two schools get dressed with their apron and gloves as they entered the Bakery Competition! They made and baked the cakes with their lessons of baking cakes and everything they have through strong determination and swift. They even decorated the cakes beautifully, creatively and perfectly. Their mascots helped them as well.
Wondercolts: All of the times we lost before
Not about to give up, we're only bringin' it more
We can smell your fear, we can see your sweat
Hope you didn't spend money 'cause you're losin' this bet!
The judges checked on every pair's baking for their resulted cakes. Applejack-Rarity's was strawberry cake. Neon Light and Jet Set's was messy cake with smiley logo on it. Flash Sentry and Sweetie Drop's was loafed bread - that was embarrassing! And finally, Upper Crust and Suri Polomare's was the blackish cake with purplish lines with yellowish creams and 'S' logo on it.
The judges tried a slice of Upper Crust and Suri Polomare's cakes. It taste good. They turned to both Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy's cake. Theirs was a tallest chocolate cake with vanilla cream and dark chocolate spiral cream on it. As Pinkie cut a slice on it, the cake revealed the picture of Mona Lisa?! That shocked and surprised the judges!
Sunset and her friends cheered wildly and happily as they cried and cheered wildly together: 'Let's go, Wondercolts!' And even the Autobots joined with them as well.
Wondercolts: You've got nothin' on us
Na, na, na-na-na, na
Let's go, Wondercolts!
You've got nothin' on us
Na, na, na-na-na, na
Let's go, Wondercolts!
Upper Crust and Suri Polomare were disappointed. Principal Cinch approached and gave them a disappointed yet angry glare. They shivered and quivered in fear. Suri tripped and fell to the ground while Upper Crust slapped her face to see her partner get embarrassed before the principal. Principal Cinch growled in anger. She refused to lose to her rival!
Shadowbolts: Talk a little too much for a school that never wins
Maybe you should just stop 'fore you even begin
We are Crystal Prep High and we have a reputation
Every little moment is about our education
The next event is Craftsmanship Competition. 15 Participants must make the best craftsmanship of birdhouse to win. They planned of how the birdhouse worked and looked. They then began working by measuring the woods, sawing them to pieces, hammered them together and painted them as one. Their mascots cheered for the team.
Shadowbolts: Put your ear to the ground
Listen to that sound
You're a house of cards
And it's about to fall down (fall down)
About to fall down (fall down), hit the ground
The judges came and judged on the participants' crafts. Jet Set and Upper Crust's was greenish and yellowish mixed birdhouse. Lyra and Sweetie Drop's was greenish and pinkish birdhouse. Sour Sweet and Sunny Flare's was reddish and brownish birdhouse. They all looked good.
And finally, Micro Chip and Sandalwood's birdhouse - which was broken and ruined. As Strikespell test on its durable and endurance, it broke to pieces. The judges turned to both Sugarcoat and Indigo Zap's project was revealed to be tallest lavender and reddish birdhouse with blazing flames patterns and balcony barriers?! It amazed the judges!
The Shadowbolts won the carpenter competition! They cheered and cried wildly - 'Let's go, Shadowbolts!' G.I. Joe cheered for them, even though they actually disliked the school's much since they have no respect of their rivals. Twilight didn't seem to enjoy it much, so did Lance and Nyx. Shadow Dragon remained silent about her and the competition.
Shadowbolts: You've got nothin' on us
Na, na, na-na-na, na
Let's go, Shadowbolts!
You've got nothin' on us
Na, na, na-na-na, na
Let's go, Shadowbolts!
As the Shadowbolts were leaving, they pushed and thrown both Micro Chip and Sandalwood aside like they're piece of trash! That have made the Canterlot Participants annoyed and angry. But nevertheless, their friends came and make comfort of them.
Wondercolts: Pressure's on, now we're gonna beat you
Step aside, it's time that we defeat you
Crystal Prep yourself 'cause you're about to go
Down, down, down, down

Wondercolts were white while Shadowbolts were black. One must earned 3 points to advance and win the competition.
As Laxtinct tried to land a punch or a kick on Jason Striker, but the latter was swift for the former to hit. Jason kicked Laxtinct's stomach, swiped the leg before hitting the leg, and finally dodged the attacks before thrown the latter to the ground hard. Jason scored 3 while Laxtinct scored 0 for the First Round A.
Arthur charged at Saber Dragoon who remained still as he let the former punched to the ground hard.

Both Arthur and Saber charged in as the former was about to punch but the latter dodged down and punched on Arthur's chest. Saber scored 3 while Arthur scored 1 for First Round A.
Shadow Dragon and Shorty Thinking were next as they bowed before each other. Shorty Thinking jumped and gave the kick to Shadow Dragon but slammed the former to the ground.

Wondercolts: Take it up to the top
'Cause we know we can win
Shadowbolts: Maybe you should just stop
'Cause we've seen you give in
Sunset Shimmer and Optimus Prime climbed up the steps of the stages while all of her friends from Canterlot High and Autobots cheered for her. Sunset was confident that she can win for her team. Twilight Sparkle and Roadblock did the same thing but only four of her friends and G.I. Joe cheered for her while the rest ignored and watched the event. Twilight felt neglect and pressured.
Wondercolts: We believe in ourselves
And we've got what it takes
All: And we're not gonna stop
Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer glanced at the chalkboard that is filled with mathematics equation. They all wondered of what happen next. All they know is that they have to win it.
Twilight Sparkle: I can't wait 'til this is all over
There's so much more that's going on
Sunset Shimmer: And before these games are over
I'll find out just what she's done
As Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer began writing down on chalkboard in solving the equation, Optimus Prime and Roadblock helped two teenagers to solve it. Both Canterlot High and Crystal Prep Academy watched of how the event went. The judges also watched the event. Who will solve the equation and win the first round?
All: Can she do it? Will she make it?
Who will win it? Who will take it?
Can she do it? Who will take it?
Did she win it? Did she make it?
Who's the winner? Who's the reject?
How did she answer?
As Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer finished solving the equation, both Cunning Fury and Principal Cinch checked on their answers from chalkboard. Who is correct?
Principal Cinch turned and looked at Sunset Shimmer, "Incorrect!"
Sunset lost while Twilight won the first round?! Canterlot High and Autobots were in shock of it! Wheelie and Brains were too as they came out from Sunset's bag which was hold by Flash Sentry.
"Hey, that's not fair!" Wheelie exclaimed in anger, "I demand rematch!"
Brains nodded, "She's the cheater! Give Sunny Shimmer rematch!"
Flash sighed, "Guys... I don't think there is one. We've lost the first round."
"Aw..." Wheelie and Brains awed in disappointment.
Shining Armor cheered wildly, "That's my sister! I knew she will win it! Go, Twilight! Go Twilight! She's the best!"
"Mr. Shining Armor, sit down," Strikespell ordered annoyingly. Shining Armor yelped as he looked around of his surroundings. Twilight's older brother blushed in embarrassment as he took his seat. Strikespell sighed, "Vice Principal Luna, make announcement of who is the winner for academic event?"
Vice Principal Luna stood up and announced,"That means the winner of the Friendship Games' first event is Twilight Sparkle and Crystal Prep!"
Optimus Prime gasped in surprise of what he just heard. The Autobots and Yeager Family were too! The one who beat Sunset Shimmer is Twilight Sparkle?! What was she doing here with Crystal Prep Academy?!
Twilight smiled happily. She won for her school! Roadblock patted on Twilight's shoulder while giving her a thumbs up. Shadow Dragon, Lance and Nyx climbed up and gave her a hug. She hugged them back. G.I. Joe cheered and gave the thunderous applause for her, even Tunnel Rat whistled for her.
But for Crystal Prep Students, they just gave her a bored yet uninterested cheering and applause for her. It annoyed Canterlot High, Autobots, G.I. Joe, Sunset and her friends, and even Shadow Dragon, Nyx and Lance. How could they be not respectful and proud for Twilight Sparkle win the game for her?!
Nevertheless; Main Six, Cutie Mark Crusaders, Autobots and Yeager Family gathered and surrounded Sunset Shimmer as they commented at her.
"[Rainbow Dash] That was awesome! [Cutie Mark Crusaders] You rocks, Sunset! [Rarity] Truly amazing! [Flash Sentry] You're the best, Sunset! [Sideswipe] It's a good try, Sunset. [Breakaway] Aw man, I was hoping you win this match, yo! [Saber] Thanks for the trying, kid. [Tailtech] That was outstanding effort you've made. [Laxtinct] Even though you've lost our event's first round. [Blazefist] Lax, not now. Sorry, he meant good job out there. [Wheelie and Brains] So unfair for you! [Shane] Not to mention, I hate maths."
"But we didn't win!" Sunset said in upset and disappointed.
Applejack assured, "That was as close to winnin' as Canterlot's ever been."
Tessa patted Sunset's shoulders, "Remember what Virtue Dragon has said? It doesn't matter you win or lose. As long we are together, we will win or lose together."
"Though I hate the losing part." Rainbow said in annoyance before nudged by Applejack by her stomach. She yelped painfully, "No worries. We still can win the next round."
Hound chuckled, "That's the spirit, kids. Never ever give your fight!"
Drift nodded as he bowed, "This is but the beginning. For the next event, do your best and show them what you've made of."
"Just kick their ass, kids," Crosshairs chuckled in amusement.
As soon as 9 Participants (Main Six, Saber Dragoon Shirty Thinking and Laxtinct from Canterlot High while Shadowbolt Six, Shadow Dragon, Mystic Knight and Arthur Warfate) as well as their school mascots have gathered, Dean Cadance got up to the stage in making another announcement.
Dean Cadance smiled, "After a careful tally of the points, we'd like to present the students moving on to the Friendship Games' second event."
The spectators gave both schools around of the applause as they can't wait for the second round of Friendship Games.
As Twilight waved to her comrades, they didn't respond to her as they have their own reputation to uphold for their family especially Indigo Zap as she wanted to be the best for her former coach. Twilight noticed Main Six hugged each other passionately while cheering wildly and happily. Twilight sighed unhappily as she never seen how great having friends is.
Shadow Dragon approached as he gave a pat on her left shoulder. He gave a gentle warm smile. Lance and Nyx approached and hugged her happily. She pointed at Twilight bad that she was carrying. Spike peeked a bit out while smiling and panting happily. She smiled back at them. They will always have her back no matter what happens.
As everyone was leaving the gym especially Main Six and Autobots, Twilight and her friends were about to do the same thing. They were stopped by both Optimus Prime and Cade Yeager.
"Optimus? Mr. Yeager?" Shadow Dragon called in surprise.
Optimus Prime approached and smiled in seeing his friends here, "It's been a while. I am glad to see you here as well, Twilight Sparkle."
Twilight gasped in surprise of what she just heard. Cade noticed her look, "What's the matter, Twi? Don't you remember us? We're your friends since the'Battle of the Band' and 'Incident at Ellis Island'. And not to mention, you send the picture of your kid dressed like Optimus Prime. That was kinda cute of her."
"I dressed like Optimus Prime? Oh my god..." Nyx asked in surprise and concern. Optimus Prime and Cade were confused and surprised. She continued frantically and freaking out, "It's not that I hate Autobots. I actually like them a lot. I really like them especially Optimus Prime. He's my favorite hero! But I'm just scared and afraid of any robots. They traumatized me a lot especially-!"
Lance gave Nyx an inhaler for her to breathe. He sighed, "Sorry about that, my little sis easily gets frightened when the robots gets too close to her. She was traumatized and hasn't been well since Battle of Chicago."
"Really?" Optimus Prime and Cade asked in surprise and shock.
Shadow Dragon yelped in realization, "Sorry about that, guys. Twilight and her siblings aren't from Equestria. They're really from here. They're real Humans."
Optimus Prime and Cade were in surprise and shocked of what they just heard. These people aren't actually the pony ones but the ones from their own home?!
"Wow... Wow... Wow..." Cade said in surprise, "I didn't expect that..."
Optimus Prime shook his head, "Either way, the honor is mine to meet you three in person. Your counterparts were truly amazing and brave yet determined people or ponies I ever met. They'd never gave up their hope for the peace and friendship for Humans, Ponies and even Autobots. I'm truly touched and inspired by them. They renewed my faith and trust on Humans. Friendship is truly Magic."
"Friendship is truly Magic?" Twilight Sparkle asked in surprise, "Wow... Sounds very special."
Optimus Prime smiled, "It is, Twilight. And believe me. Having friends make you strong and determined, Twilight. That is the true strength, not just talents and abilities. Start with Sunset Shimmer and others - they've learn very well about friendship. They will help you. Lance, keep your sisters safe. You're a good brother to them both. They need you. And Nyx, don't be afraid of Autobots or any friendly robots. We're all your friends. We wanted to help you. Be brave and strong..."
"Wow..." Twilight, Nyx and Lance awed in surprise. They truly inspired by Optimus Prime's wisdom of words.
Nyx looked at herself and even Optimus Prime. She turned and looked at both Twilight Sparkle and Lance Justicestrike who nodded their heads to give it a try. Maybe she should. She approached Optimus Prime slowly. Everyone gasped in surprise of what they just saw
Optimus smiled as he lowered himself down and held his right hand out to let her shake. She was hesitated and feared yet slowly reached her hand to Optimus's. Everyone awed in surprise yet suspended. She's willing to do it?! As her hand is almost touch Optimus Prime's hand...
Twilight's amulet glowed suddenly, making her and others surprise and shock. What was that?! Why did it glow now?!
"I'm sorry." Twilight bowed in apologize position. "Gotta go and deal with some problems."
"Wait for me!" Nyx called. She turned to Optimus Prime and shook his hand, "It's nice to meet you! Gotta go!"
As Twilight exited the gym, both Lance and Nyx followed her. Shadow Dragon, Cade Yeager and Optimus Prime were shock and surprised of what they just saw. Nyx shook Optimus Prime's hand?!
"I did not see that coming..." Cade said in surprise.
Shadow Dragon nodded, "Yeah... She was supposed to be traumatized since 4 years ago. She'd never go near to robots again. I think she might getting over it. You maybe the key to help her."
"Maybe..." Optimus Prime said in agreement. He looked at the gate in concern, "Twilight seems to be distracted. Do you know what concerns her?"
Shadow Dragon sighed, "To be honest, I just hope she's not getting herself into trouble or even hurt Sunset and her friends. I just want her to be safe from danger especially that amulet."
"What do you mean? Is there something wrong?" Cade asked in concern.
Shadow Dragon turned to Cade and Optimus Prime, "I don't know. For some strange reason, I sensed and felt dark energy pulse here. I believe the amulet is the source. Something bad is about to happen."
"This is serious..." The firm voice spoke. Everyone turned and found both Roadblock approaching them. Roadblock continued, "If the amulet is one of our enemy's plans, we gotta alert the others and be aware of anything. This could be a trap."
Optimus Prime hummed in concern, "Both of you were right about this. I can sense great darkness through my Matrix of Leadership. The amulet could be source of it. I feared our battle with the enemies are not far from behind. Gather the rest. We need to discuss about the situation..."
"I can't now. I've got to check on Twilight now," Shadow Dragon said in concern.
Shadow Dragon headed off in finding Twilight Sparkle as he hoped she is safe and sound from harm and troubles...
At the Canterlot's Front Lawn, Main Six and their friends - Flash Sentry, Sideswipe, Wheelie, Brains, Dragon Strike Force and Cutie Mark Crusaders. Shorty, his assistants and even Minicons were working and building the powered ray gun-like in front of Canterlot High's Statue. Ever since the portal was sealed, Shorty has some ideas that may help yet he was concerned about it.
Shorty sighed as he wiped his sweats off, "That should do it."
"Do you think it will work?" Sunset asked in concern.
Shorty shook his head, "No guarantee about it. Let us just pray that the Equestria's Magic Portal accepts the Artificial Energon since they were made of you six girls' magic."
"So, it will work?" Rainbow Dash asked in surprise.
Shorty sighed, "I hope so. Let's do it."
Shorty gave typed control panel's keyboards in trying to connect to Canterlot High's Statue for the moment. As the machine started running on, both Tailtech and Icy inserted both Rainbow Energon Capsules on machine's both sides. Its pointed canon fired the energy beam straight at the statue. And all everyone can do is wait and watch the event.
As everyone waited, the statue started in creating a colorful swirling portal-like. Everyone awed in surprise and joyfully.
"It's working! It's working!" Everyone cheered happily.
Cutie Mark Crusaders cheered and squealed happily, "We finally get to see our best friend - Nyx!"
"This is perfect! Twilight can finally come and help us solve the problem in no time!" Sunset exclaimed happily. Suddenly, a loud siren noise sounded. Everyone yelped in shock. She asked, "What- What's going on?!"
Everyone spotted the colorful Energon Beam got deflected back to the ray gun machine as it has shaken very hard and wildly. They all yelped in concern. What the heck is going on?!
Shorty gasped upon looking at 'WARNING' sign on his control panel, "This isn't good! The ray gun is overloading! Everyone get clear!"
Everyone screamed in worry as they quickly ran away from the ray gun. It then exploded into pieces. They were in shocked and traumatized by the machine being exploded! That was their only chance to reach Princess Twilight Sparkle!
"What happen?" Sunset asked in concern.
Shorty hissed in concern as he glared at the ray gun, "It's what I feared... Equestria Portal rejected the artificial Rainbow Energon. It can only accept the natural magic. Without it, therte is no way we can reach her. I'm sorry."
"No..." Sunset Shimmer said in shock as she fell to the ground hard. She held and looked at the book, "This book was the only way we can reach her. But she hasn't respond to us for three days. And that's not all, we can't go to Equestria anymore. It's over..."
"Sunset, come on, it's not over," Pinkie comforted Sunset.
Applejack patted Sunset's shoulder gently, "Don't worry, we'll reach her. We will. Don't give up."
Sunset sighed, "You're right, everyone. I'm just scared and worried that I can't help anyone especially my own friends. I just don't let anyone down."
"You haven't," Flash said calmly as he held his hand for Sunset, "So, don't worry. We'll find a way to reach her. We're not giving up yet. Right, everyone?"
"Yeah!" Everyone cheered.
Wheelie sighed, "So, what's next since we can't use the ray gun to open the portal or even use that damn book to get her attention?"
"Yeah... This is so not day." Brains complained.
GROWL! Everyone yelped as they turned and found Laxtinct held his stomach tightly while smiling and blushing in embarrassing. He chuckled uneasily as everyone sighed in annoyance.
"Really, Lax?" Blazefist asked in annoyance. More growling sounded in making him shock and surprise. He turned and looked at everyone else. They all smiled in embarrassment. He sighed, "This is so embarrassing."
"But we're hungry!" Cutie Mark Crusaders complained.
"Me too..." Pinkie nodded in agreement.
Laxtinct shrugged, "I can't help it, bro. I'm hungry after some wild and crazy event. Not to mention, we've gotta be ready for the next event. I don't wanna starve to death for the next one especially this one is sport."
"Yeah... Lax's right," Saber Dragoon said calmly, "We've to be ready for the next event. We need to get something to eat. We can't go in with empty stomachs." He sighed in annoyance while chuckled in nervously, "Not to mention, it gives me a stomachache."
Terrorcreep nodded in agreement, "Saber's right. Him, Main Six, Shorty and Laxtinct will be participating for the sport's event. I heard it's an easy event to engage. All of us need to refill ourselves first."
"Yes. We'll deal with sports first, and then we'll rethink a way to reach Twilight Sparkle," Shorty Thinking nodded, "Don't worry, we'll reach her to help us."
Rarity sighed as she hugged Shorty happily, "That's a relief to hear! You always have some ways to calm down and figure things out, Shorty-Poo! That's why I love you, Mr. Thinker!"
Tailtech, Icy and Cutie Mark Crusaders giggled in amusement; Shorty sighed in annoyance, "Are you serious, Rarity?"
"Come on. Let's go and get something to eat." Sunset smiled calmly, "My treat."
"No way. It's my treat!" Flash Sentry exclaimed.
"Forget it! Yours stink!" Wheelie and Brains exclaimed in annoyance.
Sideswipe cleared his throat, "How about my treat? Besides, everyone loved robots like me."
"Deal!" Everyone cheered happily.
As everyone were about to head off, they noticed Fluttershy headed to right direction of front lawn. What is she doing?
Fluttershy turned and smiled, "Don't worry, I'll be fine. I just want to feed my animals."
"Can we stay and help Fluttershy?" Cutie Mark Crusaders asked their sisters happily. They then shown their puppy dog's eyes, "Please..."
Applejack, Rarity and Rainbow Dash gulped before giggled uneasily, "Okay... Just stay with Fluttershy and stay out of troubles."
Terrorcreep approached and gave Fluttershy a kiss on her forehead. He smiled, "Don't worry, Fluttershy. I'll bring you some food back. I promised."
"Okay..." Fluttershy nodded in understanding.
As Sideswipe transformed into his car mode while activated his box in transforming into RV Trailer, Sunset and her friends boarded on the truck. They all headed off to buy some foods. Fluttershy and Cutie Mark Crusaders settle down the front lawn neared to the school's windows.
Before Fluttershy and Cutie Mark Crusaders could do anything, they looked around in making sure no one noticed them. The shy girl opened her bag. The black cat popped itself out. It purred happily. Fluttershy gave the cat a nuzzle om face. Cutie Mark Crusaders awed happily to see a cute cat.
Suddenly, the bush rustled. As the children turned, they gasped in surprise. Fluttershy turned to their direction. The girls spotted Twilight Sparkle, Lance and Nyx poked out from the bushes. The siblings were surprised and shocked about it.
Fluttershy smiled as she asked, "Do you wanna give her a treat?"
Cutie Mark Crusaders smiled happily. Twilight and her siblings looked at each other as they have some thoughts. They all smiled as they agreed to join in especially Twilight wanted to know about Fluttershy since she took the advice form Optimus Prime. Twilight and her siblings sat close to Fluttershy and Cutie Mark Crusaders.
"Guess we're not the only one to smuggle her pet into school." Twilight commented while her siblings chuckled in amusement
Fluttershy giggled in amusement as well, "Not just one."
As Fluttershy unzipped the bag, it revealed more animals coming out from the bag - Angel, humming bird, hamster and a cat. Twilight and her siblings were shocked and surprised by Fluttershy and her animal pets. Cutie Mark Crusaders giggled in amusement.
Twilight said in surprised, "Oh, wow. All I have is Spike."
Twilight unzipped the bag as it revealed Spike out. Fluttershy and Cutie Mark Crusaders gasped in surprise. He jumped off. He barked happily and then panted happily.
"Spike!" Fluttershy and Cutie Mark Crusaders exclaimed happily. Spike approached as they patted and scratched his head gently. They continued, "He's still so cute! Does he talk?"
Nyx shrugged, "Um... Not that I know of."
"So, I'm guessing that Spike's counterpart talks," Lance asked in surprise.
Cutie Mark Crusaders smiled and nodded in agreement, "That's right!"
Nyx approached and held Spike up, "That is so cool. I wish ours can talk."
Lance chuckled in amusement, "Yeah. If that happens, I'd be shock and surprised about it. I also wanted to see if Dragoking do talk or not. That would be amazing too."
"It sure is..." Apple Bloom smiled. She then approached Nyx, "Hey, Nyx. I know we just met but do you think we can be friends? We want to help you."
Nyx gasped in surprise of what she just heard. Sweetie Belle nodded, "Yeah... We saw how scared, lonely and sad you are when you're with Crystal Prep. So we thought we could be your friends."
"Yeah... If you do become our friends, then you can join our club - the Cutie Mark Crusaders." Scootaloo added, "When we're together, we can overcome anything. We won't be afraid of anything or anyone. We'll stand up together."
"You mean it?" Nyx asked in surprise. Cutie Mark Crusaders nodded truthfully. She turned and looked at Lance who smiled and shrugged. She turned and smiled, "Okay! I wanna be Cutie Mark Crusader!"
"Welcome to out club, Nyx!" Cutie Mark Crusaders cheered, "Any problems you've got, we'll help!"
Nyx giggled, "Okay... Can you help me solve my traumatize problem? I kinda touched Optimus Prime's hand. He's my favorite hero!"
"You what?!" Cutie Mark Crusaders asked in surprise and shock as they all glanced and looked at surprised and shocked Nyx. They asked, "You touched Optimus Prime's hand?! That's so awesome!"
Lance chuckled in amusement, "This is gonna be fun. My little sister touched her favorite hero and make some friends..."
Twilight and Fluttershy have a heart-to-heart talk as the shy girl was tickling Spike's belly. Twilight smiled a bit to see how sweet and gentle Fluttershy is...
"Congratulations on winning, by the way." Fluttershy smiled, "Though, it didn't seem like anyone on your team was very excited about it. Well, other than your brother, sister, boyfriend and G.I. Joe - those people really care for you."
Twilight sighed, "No one at my school gets excited about anything they didn't do themselves. And the worst about them, they wanted Azure Phoenix's Prize Pupil title. They all hated me so much for me taking it away. They don't care if they're willing to follow the Phoenix Family's principles of discipline and talents or how much suffer and pressure I get. They just want to win and prove they're better than anyone else."
"That sounds awful." Fluttershy said pitifully. As Twilight looked down in upset, she wanted to help her best friend's human counterpart. She thought for the moment but spotted Angel. She smiled in realization, "Here. Hold this."
Fluttershy passed Angel to Twilight to hold. It shocked her to ask, "Um, why?"
"Holding a bunny always makes me feel better." Fluttershy answered happily.
"Well, that's ridiculous. But-" Twilight was interrupted as Angel nuzzled on her face gently. She gasped in feeling his fluffy fur. She smiled, "Ooh. It actually kind of works." She stopped as she looked at Fluttershy, "I'm on the other team and you just lost. Why are you being so nice to me?"
"You looked like you needed it. And of course, you're my friend. I want to help you."
"Friend? I'm your friend? But I'm not who you think I am."
"It's okay. I know one thing for sure. You need help. And I'm wiling."
Suddenly, Fluttershy glowed in yellow. She levitated herself up while transformed herself into her Pony Form. Twilight, Cutie Mark Crusaders, Lance and Nyx awed in surprise of what they were watching. It was amazing. This is Twilight Sparkle's third time to watch...
Suddenly, her amulet levitated itself before Fluttershy. It opened itself as it absorbed Fluttershy's aura while Twilight and her friends gasped in shock and feared. Fluttershy yelped and screamed in pain. Not again!
"What are you doing?!" Apple Bloom demanded in fear.
"You're hurting her!" Sweetie Belle exclaimed in shock.
"Stop it! Let her go!" Scootaloo shouted in upset.
"Twilight! Do something!" Nyx exclaimed in concern.
Twilight groaned in anger while glaring at amulet as she struggled close it down, "Stupid amulet! Why and how did you activated yourself?! Shut off for once!"
"What the?! We've got more problems!" Lance exclaimed in fear.
Everyone looked around as they found loopholes were created like magical portals. And before Spike, a Jackalope jumped off from the hole. He growled at the horned rabbit, causing it yelped and escaped through the hole. The dog chased after the jackalope through various loopholes. Everyone gasped in shock and worry for not only Fluttershy, but also Spike!
After fifth times in jumping through loopholes, Spike emerged but caught by Fluttershy's aura. He yelped and yowled painfully as he was being electrocuted! He fell on Fluttershy's arms as both fell to the ground.
"SPIKE!" Everyone cried in shock and worry.
Flutetrshy turned to Twilight and screamed painfully, "Twilight! Close it! Close it!"
Twilight groaned in anger as she gave all of her might in closing her amulet. She and her siblings checked on Spike while Cutie Mark Crusaders checked on Fluttershy. The shy girl passed the dog to Twilight Sparkle before she fell to the ground.
"What was that?! What did that thing to Fluttershy?!" Cutie Mark Crusaders demanded.
Nyx shrugged, "I don't know! I don't know why her amulet activated itself! Twilight did turn it off! You have to believe in me! We'd never done anything bad to anyone."
Cutie Mark Crusaders looked at each other before looking at worry Nyx. They realized that she was telling the truth as well as noticed Twilight's fury at her own amulet. They nodded in understanding. Nyx sighed in relief before turned and approached Twilight, Lance and Spike.
"Is he alright?" Nyx asked in concern.
Twilight hissed in concern, "Spike, are you okay?"
Puppy Spike moaned painfully, "Um, I think so."
Both sisters sighed in relief to heat it. Lance smiled, "That was a relief to hear that. We were so-!"
Twilight Sparkle, Nyx and Lance realized something. They looked at Spike carefully as they wondered if they did hear correctly.
"What's wrong, guys?" Spike asked.
The siblings screamed in fear, causing their dog screamed too. Twilight dropped Spike off as she, Lance and Nyx quickly got up at once. They all screamed in fear while running away from their own talking dog!
"Twilight! Lance! Nyx! Wait!" Spike called.
Fluttershy waved goodbye to her new friends. Cutie Mark Crusaders helped and checked on Fluttershy as they all asked, "Fluttershy, are you alright?!"
Fluttershy sighed, "Sleepy... So sleepy... I want to sleep with Terrorcreep."
Cutie Mark Crusaders yelped in fear and worry of what they just heard. They gave a worried yet shocked looks as they don't need to know the rest about why Fluttershy want to sleep with Terrorcreep. How did vampire and mortal girl became so famous romantic couple?
Rammed through the lobby's entrance, Twilight, Lance and Nyx continued running away as fast as they can from their own pet - Spike! The dog was still chasing after them. Spike called his masters to wait for him. He was upset as he wondered why and how could they would run away from him. They came across to the dead end!
The siblings yelped as they turned and looked at the front. They encountered Spike. He's now approaching and cornering them to the walls.
Spike panted heavily, "Why did you run away like that?"
"Um, oh, I don't know." Twilight said calmly, "Maybe it has something to do with the glowing girl, or the hole in space. Or my talking dog! That was third time to see Magic! I think I'm gone crazy!"
Lance grunted a bit, "Are you serious, sis?"
Nyx sighed, "She means it. It's weird to have a dog and magic in modern days. That's crazy! Crazier than dealing with psychopathic robot aliens."
Spike shrugged as he scratched his back, "Yeah. Weird, right?"
Despite scared and shocked to hear her dog can talk, Twilight still care and trust him. She lowered herself down and looked at Spike, "Are you okay? How do you feel? What happened? Where did you go?"
"Hey, one question at a time! This is pretty new to me, too." Spike said in concern.
"Sorry."
"All I know is I chased that pointy rabbit through the glowy thing and then I was somewhere else. Next thing I knew, I was back in that nice girl's arms and I could talk! I don't really understand why I couldn't before. I mean, it's so easy."
Lance chuckled nervously, "Yeah... Think Flutetrshy's aura cause Spike to talk? He did come out from the loophole but caught by her yellow aura."
Twilight hummed, "Possibly."
"Yeah, what's with you amulet?" Nyx asked in concern, "It's getting crazier than before. It's hurting our new friends!"
"It what?!" The firm voice asked angrily. Everyone turned and found Shadow Dragon entered the scene. And he's not happy about it. The siblings yelped in fear of what they met up. He demanded angrily, "What is going on?!"
Twilight yelped in fear as she explained, "Well... You're not gonna like this. But remember when I said that I want to collect little energy data for research? My amulet gone nuts and taken four girls' magic!"
Shadow Dragon was in shock yet angered. Lance gulped, "He's pissed."
Nyx yelped as she held her dog up, "Spike can talk too!"
"Hey there," Spike called. Shadow Dragon was in shock and worry of what he was hearing. His bag unzipped in revealing Dragoking out of the bag. The Anaconda hissed while looking at the dog. He smiled, "Hey, Dragoking. Pretty cool that I'm the only dog can talk?"
Dragoking hissed in annoyance while his eyes rolled around, "Annoying..."
Spike yelped, "Did he just-?!"
Nyx giggled uneasily, "Oh yeah... I guess I forgot that Dragoking was experimented anaconda by mad scientists. He's not only got his super strength, agility and regeneration but he got his super brains. He still got trouble in speaking."
Spike growled in annoyance, "So unfair... Why does that snake always get what he wants?"
"Hate... Chat..." Dragoking said in annoyance.
Lance shrugged, "Well, we're done here."
"We are not done here!" Shadow Dragon exclaimed in anger as he turned and glared at Twilight, "Twilight, this has to stop!"
Twilight gasped, "What?! I need to do this! It's important for me!"
"Pursuing the dream is one thing but risking your life for dangerous research is another! I know you want to use your science for good but you have to realize that there are things can't be understand and meant to be left alone!"
"But I want to understand everything! I want to understand how the magic works! I want to understand why Friendship is Magic! I want to know it! I want to know my counterpart! I need it!"
"Jack Griffin, Henry Jekyll and Victor Frankenstein said the same thing as you did. And Look what happen to them! Jack Griffin became invisible man! Henry Jekyll can't control his evil self! Victor Frankenstein created his own monster! But a terrible result is they killed innocent lives!"
"I won't become like them! I won't make anything so foolish-!"
Shadow Dragon interrupted as he held his girlfriend's both arms, "Twilight, don't you understand?! You're not only hurting others, you're gonna hurt yourself if you keep doing this! That happens to scientists too. They were good people but they have gone to wrong path in achieving their goals. I don't want you get hurt."
"Shadow Dragon..." Twilight said in shock as she held her right hand on his right hand.
"Please... Don't do this to me." Shadow Dragon said painfully, "Is this what you wanted? Is this what Iris Crystal wanted for you? Do you think she wanted you to do this? You should know better that she would never get involved of dangerous research like this."
"Gr... Again her... Why is it has to be her?" Twilight muttered in annoyance about Iris Crystal. Shadow Dragon hummed in annoyance of what he just heard. She yelped, "I mean you're right. This isn't what I have in my mind. Maybe it's best that magic is left out alone..."
Shadow Dragon sighed, "Thank goodness... Start with giving all the magic back to the girls. They really need them."
Twilight giggled uneasily as she looked and held her amulet, "Yeah... This could be a problem. I don't know how to give magic back to other girls!"
"What?!" Everyone asked in shock.
Before anyone could ask for more, the familiar stern voice called, "Twilight."
Twilight yelped fearfully as she quickly pushed Shadow Dragon, Lance, Nyx and Spike into a tight locker, "Quick! Hide in here!"
Before any of her friends could ask, Twilight closed the locker in locking her own friends inside. She held herself against it. Principal Cinch appeared as she approached Twilight Sparkle.
"Who are you talking to?" Principal Cinch asked.
Twilight yelped, "Um, myself. It's a nervous habit. Were you looking for me?"
"Indeed I was. Quite a coincidence that the CHS students moving on to the next event are those nice girls who were so interested in you, don't you think?"
"Really? Where did you get that idea? I mean I haven't met them..."
"To be honest, I didn't think so too but you did met them when Mr. Azure Phoenix has some car accident. They were the same girls who were nice and comfort to you about him, did they not?"
"What? How did you know about this?"
"Mr. Cunning Fury told me about this. Perhaps it's the perfect strategy. After all, I overheard that metalhead red robot, farm old man and that ruffian bald man advise you get to know and befriend with them."
"But I thought you didn't want me to. You told me that Canterlot High is the enemy to both Crystal Prep and Imperial Phoenix Army."
"Let's just say I'm covering my bases. Who knows?" Principal Cinch said proudly as she held Twilight Sparkle's shoulders, "Perhaps they will reveal to you the secret to Canterlot High's newfound success. We must not disappoint Mr. Strikespell for being a disappointment and failure to these mere amateurs."
Twilight gulped, "I dunno. Spying feels kind of...wrong. It's... It's not the way of Imperial Phoenix Army..."
Principal Cinch growled a bit, "Well, it's your decision, Twilight. Imperial Phoenix Army is more than just relying on some talents, loyalties, resourcefulness and discipline. It is to rely on means of necessary to achieve victory. That is the true way of Imperial Phoenix Army. It's not as if your application hangs in the balance. On second thought, yes, it does."
As Principal Cinch walked away, Twilight Sparkle moved away from the locker as she worn the pained and saddened face. Going to Everton for Independence Studies is her best dream. Shadow Dragon and his friends emerged from the locker. They all glared at her. She gulped as she is in trouble about the real reason why she goes to Friendship Games!
Twilight looked down and sighed in upset, "I'm sorry I didn't tell you the truth behind my involvement of Friendship Games. Here's the real reason."
Sunset and her friends returned to the school as they found Fluttershy being weakened. They helped her up and walked through the hallway where they meet up with both G.I. Joe and Autobots in their Holobots Form. They all heading to the soccer field where the second event was about to begin.
Fluttershy explained of what happens when she and Cutie Mark Crusaders were with Twilight Sparkle while Cade, Optimus Prime and Roadblock explained to others about suspecting the enemies being here and sensing darkness. It is very serious topic...
"All I did was hand Twilight a bunny. Then I ponied up." Fluttershy said in concern.
"I just don't get it." Sunset said in concern, "Rarity's magic came out when she gave the clothes to Human Twilight for comfort and caring. Pinkie's when she fixed the party and now Fluttershy."
Scootaloo added, "And then Twilight's pendant thingy just pulled the magic right out of Fluttershy. She couldn't even stand up."
Apple Bloom gasped, "Like Pinkie at the party!"
"Or Rarity when she gave Twilight gift of clothes!" Sweetie Belle added.
"Twilight did what?!" Terrrocreep demanded angrily. He snarled, "I'm gonna tear that brat!"
"No!" Fluttershy exclaimed in concern as she held Terrorcreep's chest, "It's not her fault. It's her pendant. She said that something is off with hers. And she said she did turn the amulet off from draining the magic. Please, I'm sure she has some explanation about it."
Terrorcreep scoffed, "She'd better be. Or her blood will be to drain..."
"Wait! So she's stealing magic?" Flash asked in concern.
Both Minicons emerged from the bag, Wheelie scoffed, "What am I not surprised?! There goes another one. Getting into trouble while not knowing how danger it can be!"
"Yeah... Humans want more power for their 'protection' when truth is they want the war against us!" Brains exclaimed. He screamed wildly, "The Horror! The Horror! I'm gonna lose my head again!"
"Cool it, guys!" Yeager Family and Flash shouted in annoyance.
Everyone commented and remarked in concern and denial of how can Human Twilight Sparkle be responsible of stealing the magic. She can't be the one.
"No way..." Laxtinct protested frantically, "She can't be responsible of stealing magic, right?"
Blazefist hummed in concern, "I don't know... Four girls lost their magic. Portal got sealed off. And the only person who was close to them was Twilight Sparkle..."
"I don't believe it..." Aquastroke said in concern.
"What makes you said that? She's a scientist." Saber said in denial.
Tailtech huffed angrily, "Twilight would never do such a thing! I know her well. And I know she would never put innocent live at risk!"
"Me too! I'm with Tail," Icy agreed firmly.
Applejack nodded in agreement, "Eeyup. She doesn't seem like magical type."
"Yeah," Sunset nodded in agreement with Applejack's concern. She continued, "but she had something to do with closing the portal. If her pendant can pull in magic, maybe it stole the portal, too."
"How?" Rarity and Pinkie asked in concern.
Tunnel Rat hissed, "I don't like where this is going..."
Ripcord nodded, "Me too, man. This is getting wackier than before..."
Optimus Prime hummed in concern, "There is more... Shadow Dragon and I sensed darkness in this area. And I believe Twilight's amulet could be responsible of it..."
"So do I," Spirit spoke up in concern, "It's as if the amulet hungers for more power..."
"If what the girls said is true about the amulet," Roadblock said seriously, "then this could be the work of the enemy's. And I think Dark Curse, Cobra Commander or Galvatron could be behind of this mess."
"What makes you think of that, Roadblock?" Flint asked in concern.
Lady Jaye nodded, "Flint's right, Road. How do they managed to give the amulet to her? Twilight is not stupid to trust them. She's too smart to accept their offers."
Scarlet hummed, "We can't be sure yet. Maybe the items that she used to make her pendent belonged to them. She may not realize of it."
"This is not good, isn't it, Sensei?" Jinx asked fearfully.
Snake Eyes nodded in agreement. Joe hummed in concern as he turned to Sunset, "Think it's Turning-Earth-into-Metal again? Great..."
"I don't think so," Crosshairs said in concern, "I don't think it's about cyberforming the planet. The bad guys need lots of Seeds to make that happen. They're gone because we destroyed ever last of them from Ellis Island. And no way, Dark Curse can get them from our asshole Creators."
Hound nodded, "Yeah... And something tells me that we have no idea of what's really going on."
Drift sighed, "Yes. First, Azure Phoenix suffered casualties. And now, her amulet has been absorbing the magic. And yet, we have no clues of what the enemies truly after. They are waiting for something to happen. When it happened, they will strike."
"The enemies have hidden from us too well," Prowl said in concern, "After a year of uniting the world as one, the world's nations couldn't find and locate them."
Breakaway nodded in agreement, "Yeah... I bet that they don't want us to find them until we let our guards down."
Smokescreen scoffed, "Yeah, right. Like we ever gonna fall for their oldest trick of the book. We'll be ready for them!"
Bumblebee gave thumbs up, "You bet, man! ZAP! No way we're gonna go down without the fight!"
Sideswipe smirked, "I like that attitude of yours, Bee. This is just like an old times, alright. We'll be ready for the enemies."
"Yes, Sideswipe and Bumblebee. Whatever the enemy is planning, we will be ready for them," Optimus Prime said firmly,. He sighed, "But we may yet face another danger. The extinction is once again upon us."
"God! Not this again!" Shane complained, "Why does it have to 'extinction'?! Can it be something else?!"
"So, the only way we can stop the extinction is Twilight's amulet," Tessa asked, "I mean like you said. Twilight could be accidentally combined the bad guys' tech in her amulet to go haywire for magic only."
"It could be true..." Shorty said thoughtfully, "And I don't think Twilight is responsible of the mess. If the amulet is responsible of draining the magic, we need to analyze and study on it. We may found the answer from it. I may able to reverse the engineering to return the magic to you all."
Cade nodded, "I'll help too. I've got some ways to understand the techs."
Sunset sighed in concern, "Yes... But we still haven't solve the Human Magic. And the pony or person or princess who could help me figure this out is completely unreachable now."
"Which is too bad, because Twilight knows everything about magic and portals and magical portals and portable magics!" Pinkie said in upset.
Shorty sighed, "I told you that I will find the way to reach her, other than the communicator book. That will just have to wait because we need to know more about the amulet. It is the only key to get the portal back online."
"He's right. We need to ask this world's Twilight to give hers to us first," Rarity supported Shorty's concern.
Rainbow Dash smirked while crossing her arms and then leaned on the locker, "For now, let's just focus on beating the Shadowbolts. And as long as this event puts me in a playing field, I don't think we've got anything to worry about."
Optimus Prime hummed, "We shall meet you all outside. And good luck for your next event. Holobots, deactivated the connection. Return to us."
The Autobots' images disappeared. The Holobots turned and marched off. Sunset and all of her friends marched straight to the Soccer Field.
As Sunset and her friends opened the back entrance door, they found Autobots stood near to the school entrance. They noticed their allied robots looking shock and surprise like something have spooked them. As they turned to the front, they all gasped in shock and concern yet amazed. Something did spook them a lot!
Applejack gulped in surprise, "Oh, it puts you on a playin' field, alright."
Sunset and all of her friends were witnessing the large sports event they ever seen - middle part was archery course with hay bales and jumping over the mud. Surrounded the middle event is rollerskating course. And third around two middle events is the motocross course with mountain dirt road-like, slide ramps and some large tires. That is one big event they ever seen...
"Motorcycle... Why does it has to be motorcycle," Sunset Shimmer muttered in annoyance. She turned to her friends, "Am I the only one who thinks this is overkill?"
Rainbow Dash hissed, "Now we know why we were training archery, rollerskating and motocross by Western Dragon Generals. I know I would say 'awesome' but this is crazy overkill!"
Applejack turned to Rarity, "I don't suppose you made motocross outfits."
"Oh, don't be ridiculous." Rarity said in denial. She smirked, "Of course I did!"
As Shorty Thinking placed the small box down, he pushed a red button. It then enlarged and transformed into a large rectangle-like. It opened into two, along with the changing rooms. It revealed more of motocross suits. Everyone awed in surprise and amazement.
Flash turned to Sunset Shimmer, "Are you sure?"
Sunset looked down in worry and scared for the moment. She wasn't good at riding the motorcycle. She knew that she won't able to win. Upon looking at her friends' concerns especially her two friends - Wheelie and Brains, she didn't want to let them down. She has to win for them. Sunset sighed calmly as she chinned up.
Sunset looked at her friends. She smirked with confident and firm looks, "Yeah, I am. Let's do this, everyone. Let's show Crystal Prep of what we're made of!"
"Yeah!" Everyone cheered wildly.
Main Six, Saber Dragoon, Shorty Thinking and Laxtinct grabbed their suits as they got themselves dressed within their changing chambers. For the moment passed, they emerged out. They're all dressed as Sportsmen and Sportswomen. They're all ready for the second round!
Within the dark room of janitor store, Cobra Commander held his communicator watch-like up as he was contacting his both allies - Dark Curse and Galvatron.
"My friends... It's almost time..." Cobra Commander said darkly, "Just two more. Project End will begin soon..."
Galvatron smirked, "Excellent... I cannot wait to make it happen."
"Indeed... The world will fall..." Dark Curse said darkly, "Nothing can stop us now..."
Dark Curse, Galvatron and Cobra Commander laughed evilly, darkly and sinisterly. Their plans are coming true. And they can't wait to bring the world down before them...
At the Canterlot High's lawn, a motorcyclist has arrived at the school. It revealed himself to be Storm Shadow. He then worn his mask on while putting his twin swords on his back.
"It is time... I must prevent End of the World..." Storm Shadow said darkly, "I must assassinate Twilight Sparkle. The Agent of Chaos must died."
Storm Shadow walked slowly as he was approaching to Canterlot High. His assassination mission is about to begin...
