Alliance
Sunset Shimmer was walking through the halls of Canterlot High School at the end of the day. Things were pretty good so far. She had gotten 100% on all of her test this week (math, science, history, and economics). It was Friday and the day before the week-long break, so “classes” weren’t doing much. During the break, she and the Rainbooms planned a visit to Manhattan (she had never been before, so she was really excited). Best of all, the whole week went by without some magical or supernatural threat. Other students as well poured through the hallway as they headed out the exit. The other Rainbooms then joined Sunset in her walk shortly.
“Ah, Manhattan. I’m so excited to go!” Rarity squealed with delight. “I just have so many outfits that I can try out there and design as well.”
“I’m excited too.” Sunset replied. “Is Manhattan really as good as they say?”
“Of course, silly!” Pinkie Pie assured. She then began to count off what was there on her fingers. “They have everything! Malls, movie theaters, restaurants, cafes, roller rinks, fairs, amusement parks-”
“Okay, Pinkie, I think she gets it.” AppleJack said, cutting her off.
“I’m eager to go, but I’m a little worried. The whole week, I’ll be gone and no one is going to be at the animal shelter. I don’t want the animals to get scared or lonely.” Fluttershy admitted.
“Lighten up, Fluttershy. I’m sure they’ll be fine.” Rainbow Dash said. “I’m just a little irked we had classes today, even though we didn’t do anything. They should’ve given us the day off.”
“It doesn’t matter, Dash. School's over, and we’ll be on our way to Manhattan shortly” Sunset said happily as they were about to exit through the front door. “I can’t think of how this day could go wrong.”
“I could.” A familiar voice said, causing the Rainbooms stop in their tracks and turn around. Facing them in the hall were the 3 Dazzlings, Adagio Dazzle, Aria Blaze, and Sonata Dusk. They were not expecting to ever see those 3 sirens again. The Rainbooms immediately got into defensive positions and faced them. Both groups glared at each other heavily.
“What are you doing here?!” Sunset asked harshly with a hint of surprise .
“We just wanted to check up on you. See how you’re doing after you ruined the lives of all 3 of us.” Adagio responded in a bitter tone.
“Are you trying to make us feel bad?” Rainbow Dash shot back. “Considering you were planning to, oh I don’t know, take over the world, I would gladly ruin your lives 100 times over.”
“If you’re plannin’ anythin’ we’ll stop you.” AppleJack stated. The Dazzlings merely laughed off her threat and turned to each other.
“How cute. They think they can actually stop us this time.” Aria mocked.
“What are you talking about?” Rarity asked. Adagio smirked.
“Listen, Rainbooms. You may have won the last battle, but this time, you won't be so lucky. We have returned with some new “tricks” that guarantee that by the end of this, all of you will just be part of our servants when we rule this world.” Adagio declared.
“Really? Considering that you don’t have magic, I’d really love to see how you’re going to rule this world.” Sunset taunted.
The Rainbooms and the Dazzlings continued to stare each other down with intensity. Just then, Sonic dashed by as a blue streak through them
“Hey, guys. Hey, Adagio, Aria, and Sonata.” Sonic said nonchalantly as he passed through. He then realized who he passed and stopped in his tracks suddenly. He turned around and saw the two groups of girls facing each other.
“Adagio!” Sonic said with delight as he came up to her and smiled. Adagio slightly frowned at his presence while Aria and Sonata just glanced at each other.“How have you been? I haven’t seen you since our date.” Sonic's words caused the Rainbooms to lose their serious expression and look at him in astonishment as they focused on him now. They couldn't believe what they had heard.
“Wait a minute, Sonic you know them?” Fluttershy asked him.
“Sure. Shadow, Manic, and I went on a date with them a while ago.” Sonic explained casually as he turned to them.
“What?!” Pinkie screamed and she held her hands to her face in disbelief.
“Yeah. Why are you so surprised?” Sonic said. He was confused at this whole situation.
“Sonic, these are the Dazzlings. They’re not actually girls. They’re Sirens from Equestria.” Rarity explained. “They tried to take over the world with dark magic.”
“What? No way. If this is a joke, I think it’s pretty funny actually.” Sonic dismissed. He started to laugh slightly, but no one laughed with him. He then stopped and lost his smile. “You’re serious.” He then turned back to Adagio.
“So, you tried world domination. That means you’re…evil?” Sonic said, trying to make sense of what he had heard.
“I guess so.” Adagio said with a shrug.
“But as a result of the date you went on with me, you’re reformed now. Right?” Sonic said hopefully and gave her a smile. Adagio just rolled her eyes and his smile faded slowly. “Am I way off?”
“Sonic, how could you go on a date with them?!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed.
“Hey, in my defense, I didn’t know that they were evil. Don’t blame me. Let’s focus on the true villains here. Them.” Sonic said as he pointed to the Dazzlings. He then joined the Rainbooms with their defensive positions and sighed remorsefully.
“You know, just for reference, this is going to be really hard for me. I thought we really had a connection with one another, Adagio. Right now, it feels like someone punched me in the stomach.” Sonic explained glumly.
“I can do that, blue.” Another voice said. Sonic then had the wind knocked out of him by a green streak suddenly. Sonic then came to his knees and held his stomach as he grunted. He looked up and saw Scourge in front of him with a menacing grin and his shades on.
“Scourge? Why are you here?” Sonic said as he rose up. Scourge just smirked and walked over to the Dazzlings.
“Scourge, I told you to wait for my signal.” Adagio said as she clung to Scourge.
“I’m sorry babe. This guy was just asking for it.” Scourge said as put his hand on her hip. Sonic observed the two of them confused until he had a realization as his face broke out into one of surprise. He put two and two together and slowly raised his finger to them.
“Wait a minute......you’re with him?!” Sonic cried out. He couldn't believe it.
“That’s gross.” Pinkie said with a shudder.
“But....... why?! He’s a total jerk, and well evil!” Sonic complained.
“So is she, blue.” Scourge pointed out. Sonic put his head down, looking pretty disappointed.
“Don’t worry, blue. You can whine about it all you want later. Six feet under the ground.” Scourge said as he turned into a green streak and rushed Sonic. Sonic glared at him and became a blue streak and the two clashed with one another many times as they crashed through the door and outside of the school. Shadow and Manic then arrived shortly in the hallway out a nearby room after hearing the commotion.
“What’s going on? I heard Scourge's voice and-Sonata!” Manic started to say before he saw the Siren.
“Hi, Manic.” She said as she waved at him warmly. Manic then walked up to her.
“What brings you here? Are you here for another date?” Manic asked grinning at her.
“No, we’re trying to get revenge on the Rainbooms for beating us in the Battle of the Bands and stopping our chances of taking over the world.” Sonata told him.
“Ahh, okay.” Manic said. He then realized what she said and now looked at her with confusion. “What?!”
“Long, story short, they’re evil creatures from Equestria and have now teamed up with Scourge.” AppleJack said, bringing him up to speed.
“I should’ve figured Manic would somehow mess this up.” Shadow grumbled. He then noticed Aria, who just stared off into space with her arms crossed, looking bored and not really paying attention to the whole fiasco. “Hey”.
“Hey.” She replied as she turned to him.
“Since, you’re evil, I guess I better stop you and whatever you’re planning.” Shadow explained. His hands then glowed green.
“I guess. But before you do-“Aria started to say. She then raised her voice in a melodious manner, and a green sound wave was shot from her mouth. It hit Shadow, and he clutched his head in pain.
“What the?” Shadow said. His eyes then flashed green suddenly, and he stood up straight. His facial expression was blank.
“Shadow, are you okay?” Sunset asked.
He didn’t respond to her at all. He then walked over next to Aria.
“What did you do to Shadow?!” Pinkie demanded.
“I just used a little mind control. Nothing special.” Aria said smugly as she looked at her hand.
“That’s impossible!. We destroyed your pendants!” Rainbow Dash said.
The Dazzling then reached out of their collars and pulled out 3 small green emeralds for Manic and the Rainbooms to see.
“Like it? It’s from Scourge. He really is sweet.” Adagio said boastfully.
“Anarchy Beryl?” Manic said surprised.
“What's Anarchy Beryl?” Rarity asked.
“Evil Chaos Emeralds.” Manic explained. Shadow then teleported and kicked Manic hard, sending him crashing into the wall of a classroom. Manic got up slightly dazed and regained focus. He glared heavily as he dashed towards Shadow and threw a punch, but Shadow teleported again. He then kept teleporting around Manic and punching him each time.
“Ow! No fair! Quit spamming teleporting!” Manic complained as he tried to punch Shadow again, who teleported. Shadow then appeared behind Manic and restrained him in a full nelson.
“Let go!” Manic said as he struggled. Sonata then came up to Manic. She then grabbed his face and turned him towards her.
“I’ve always wanted to do this.” She said. She then gave Manic a passionate kiss on the lips, that lasted for about 30 seconds. The Rainbooms looked on with a mixture of disgust and surprise at this.
“Hurry up Sonata!” Aria snapped.
Sonata then released Manic and ended the kiss. He had a silly, lovestruck smile on his face and stared off into space.
“That was awesome.” Manic said dreamily. His eyes then flashed green and he lost his smile. Shadow let him go and Manic stood up straight next to him, emotionless.
“This isn’t good.” Sunset realized with worry. The mind controlled Shadow and Manic then went go help Scourge against Sonic as they dashed outside, leaving the Dazzling to face the Rainbooms.
“What do we do, Sunset?” Fluttershy asked nervously.
“We just need to get to our instruments.” Sunset said. “Then-“.
“Sorry, not happening.” Adagio said. She, Aria, and Sonata opened their mouths and, shot 3 sound waves at the Rainbooms. Rainbow Dash managed to push Sunset out of the way before she and the rest of the Rainbooms were hit and fell to the ground. Sunset watched helplessly as the emotion was drained from her friends' faces as they rose up and their eyes flashed a green color. They stood up as if they were robots.
“No.” Sunset said softly as she got up from the ground. She then ran down the hall in a hurry filled with panic.
“Stay here. I’ll go after her alone. This is personal.” Adagio instructed. She then began to pursue Sunset slowly.
Outside of the school, Sonic and Scourge were clashing many times as streaks. Scourge threw a punch which Sonic avoid, allowing him to kick Scourge away hard, knocking him to the ground.
“I can’t believe you’re with Adagio!” Sonic yelled.
“You know what they say. You snooze, you lose. Besides, I’m glad I teamed up with her. She and her friends are full of surprises.” Scourge said as he picked himself. Just then, Shadow appeared and kicked Sonic sending him sliding against the ground.
“Shadow, what gives?!” Sonic said as he lifted himself. “You’re supposed to be attacking him, not me!” Manic appeared as a green dash and punched him in the face. Sonic returned to the ground.
“What is with you guys?!” Sonic exclaimed as he stood. He then noticed the green eyes of Manic and Shadow as they came next to Scourge and his face sank. “Oh, crap.”
“I mean, who knew giving her and her group some Anarchy Beryl would give them such cool powers.” Scourge said with a smug grin. He, Manic, and Shadow then charged towards Sonic.
Sunset continued to rush through the empty hallway. She was in a state of heavy alarm and trying to make sense of the situation that had happened.
“(Okay, things are going bad so far. Everyone else is brainwashed, except me. But if I can reach my guitar, I should be able to fight back, and save everyone.)” Sunset thought to herself. She then reached the Rainbooms rehearsal room where the Rainboom’s instruments were. She quickly got her guitar from the back of the room.
“Great, now all I have to do is-“ Sunset started to say as she turned around. A green sound wave then blew her on the ground, sending her guitar sliding against the floor away. Sunset looked up to see Adagio looking down at her triumphantly.
“Oh, you were so close. I’d say sorry, but that’s what you did to us at the Battle of the Bands.” Adagio taunted. Sunset then got up and slowly backed away.
“I’m not afraid of you.” Sunset declared.
“Really? Then why are you shaking?” Adagio pointed out. Sunset then gripped herself to stop her shaking. Adagio began to observe the band room with admiration.
“This is a really nice room. I think I’ll use it for a lounge when we start to renovate the school. But first.” Adagio said as her eyes settled on the instruments at the back. She then released a sound wave that destroyed the instruments of the Rainbooms, breaking them into pieces. Sunset watched on as the pieces scattered around the room and she gasped, horrified. There only chance was now gone.
“There. Now you and your friends have no way of fighting back.” Adagio said as she approached Sunset, making the latter back away slowly. “Don’t worry, I’ll be sure to treat you extra-cruelly when you’re my slave.”
“(I can’t let things end here.)” Sunset thought to herself, trying to remain calm. It was almost impossible at this point. She then noticed the window to her left in the corner of her eye. Adagio then sent out another sound wave to Sunset, but Sunset jumped out of the way and the wave shattered the window. Sunset then leaped through it and began to run as fast as she could from the school when her feet reached the ground.
Meanwhile, Sonic was having trouble with Scourge, Manic, and Shadow outside. Shadow teleported and hit him with an upper cut, which was followed by Scourge kicking him down to the ground. Manic then lifted him up and held him in a neck hold. Scourge and Shadow then took their turns punching him in the stomach and face. Sonic grunted with each strike.
“(I can’t take on all 3 of them at once. I need to find a way to retreat for now.)” Sonic thought to himself. When Scourge was about to throw another punch, Sonic jumped, and kicked both Shadow and Scourge away. He then flipped Manic over on the ground. Sonic then generated small blue cyclone he made by running around in a circle rapidly, separating him from the three of them and they could not see through it. He then dashed away in a blue streak.
“Hey, come back here, and take your beating like a man!” Scourge yelled as he shook his fist. Sonic continued to run off and Scourge just shrugged. Scourge then regrouped back in the hallway with the Dazzlings along with Shadow and Manic. Aside from the rest of the Rainbooms, Knuckles, Tails, and Silver were now also brainwashed along with other remaining students as they stood up with their eyes glowing green like an army of dolls.
“We saw these guys coming up, so we brainwashed them before they could try anything.” Aria explained.
“Good job. Hey where’s the bacon-haired girl?” Scourge said as he looked around for Sunset.
“She got away. Where’s Sonic?” Adagio said.
“He got away too. It’s a shame she’s gone. She’s super-hot.” Scourge sighed, making Adagio raise an eyebrow. “I say we go after them now.”
“No, there’s no need. They both know that they have no chance. Besides, even if they do come back, we can use the students as hostages.” Adagio said.
“Sorry babe, but I’m just going to go after them.” Scourge said. He hated waiting around, which is something he and Sonic shared in common.
“No, you’re not. We have everything we need right now. Don’t mess this up.” Adagio threatened with a darker tone as she shot him a glare.
“All right, fine.” Scourge grumbled as he raised his hands.
Sunset was walking across the sidewalk of Canterlot. She had managed to get away pretty far from the school and into the middle of the city, which was mostly empty of people and cars at this time. She was pulling pieces of glass out of her hair and clothes.
“Ow.” Sunset said as she removed a piece from her hair. She then saw Sonic on the opposite end of the street holding his sides in pain and slightly wincing.
“Sonic!” Sunset called. He then turned to see her coming towards him.
“Sunset! I’m glad to see you. Where’s everyone else?” Sonic said as he looked behind her.
“They were captured and mind-controlled by the Dazzlings. Judging by those bruises, I guess you didn’t have much luck with Scourge either.” Sunset noticed.
“Yeah. So what’s the plan?” Sonic asked. Sunset then slumped on the ground in defeat and gripped her head with her hands.
“I don’t know. Last time we used some kind of counter spell to stop them. But Princess Twilight was with us, and now she’s back in Equestria.” Sunset explained.
“Is there any way to contact her?” Sonic asked.
“Yeah, with my book, but its back at school in my locker.” Sunset said glumly.
“Oh, that sucks.” Sonic said dejectedly.
“It really does. What are we going to do now Sonic? Adagio also destroyed all of our instruments, so we can't use them to free everyone else. By now, they probably have the whole school under their control. What if they use them as hostages? Then we have no chance of fighting back!” Sunset cried in panic. She then buried her face in her hands. Sonic gave her a reassuring hand to her shoulder, making her look up at him.
“Hey don’t be like that. We’ll find a way to stop them and, save everyone. I promise.” Sonic said as he gave her the thumbs up. She smiled at him softly.
Back at CHS, the Dazzlings were surrounded by crowds of students in the gym as they stood up on the stage. Scourge was lying on the ground with them, looking bored.
“How long has it been, since they left?” Scourged asked.
“’Bout an hour.” Sonata replied.
“An hour! That’s it, I’m going to drag both of them back here!” Scourge declared as he jumped up from the ground. Adagio sighed in annoyance.
“I already told you. We wait. Would it kill you to have at least a little patience? Quit acting like a spoiled child.” Adagio scolded. Scourge turned around to her and frowned.
“Quit being such a buzzkill.” Scourge replied. “Ugghh, I’ll go see if there are any students left who aren’t mind controlled.” He then walked off the stage and dashed out of the doors from the gym.
“Having boyfriend troubles, Adagio?” Aria mocked. Adagio just rolled her eyes.
“Well, I’m glad you actually found someone, Dagi!.” Sonata said happily.
“Don’t be ridiculous. I don’t like him at all. He’s immature and impatient. The only reason he’s not mind controlled yet is out of small gratitude for giving us these stones in the first place. Once I feel he’s been repaid, he’ll be another slave.” Adagio said, admiring the Anarchy Beryl in her palm.
“Aww, that’s too bad. Well, maybe Aria will have luck with her boyfriend.” Sonata teased. Hearing this made Aria turn to Sonata quickly.
“Shadow’s not my boyfriend!" Aria said defensively.
“I didn’t mention Shadow.” Sonata said with a smirk, making Aria blush a little and fold her arms.
“You really are the worst.” She stated.
Scourge was walking down the hallway looking annoyed as he sighed heavily and slightly scowled.
“(That Adagio chick is pretty hot, but she’s just so bossy. I’ll keep playing nice for now, but after Sonic’s out of the way, I’m going back to being a solo act.)” He thought to himself.
Sonic and Sunset were sitting down on the sidewalk, trying to plan their next move.
“Listen, Sonic. The reason the Dazzlings are able to mind control people so easily is because Scourge gave them these things called Anarchy Beryl. If we can take it from them, maybe we can find a way to break their hold.” Sunset explained.
“That seems easy enough. But, I don’t know how we can get close enough to do that. Plus, there's still Scourge and the mind controlled students to deal with.” Sonic pointed out to her.
“Hmm. The Dazzlings love to be adored. That’s their goal. But maybe somehow we can use it against them. Wait a minute, I think I’ve got something!” Sunset exclaimed suddenly as she rose up, making Sonic focus on her.
Later, Sonic and Sunset slowly began to approach the entrance of CHS side by side.
“You, sure this will work?” Sonic whispered.
“It has too. Otherwise, we're doomed.” Sunset replied.
“Oh, look. I think we’ve found some rats.” Aria said suddenly, making Sonic and Sunset stop in their tracks to face both her and Sonata as they looked up at them from the steps.
“Rats? Ew! Where?” Sonata said with panic as she began to look around rapidly. Aria face palmed at her inability to understand expressions.
“Look, we're not here to fight. We just want to speak with Adagio and Scourge. Take us to them.” Sunset said as she and Sonic raised their arms. Aria regarded them with suspicion and was silent for a while. Sonic and Sunset exchanged subtle nervous glances, hoping their plan would work.
“Considering how screwed you guys are, I don’t think you’re in any position to make demands. But, I’ll take you anyway since I’m kind of bored right now.” Aria finally said. She then walked inside, with Sonic and Sunset following her and led them to the gym. Inside, Adagio and Scourge were sitting on chairs, while Pinkie Pie was upstage with crowds of students and even Luna and Celestia, sitting in the bleachers. Shadow was using a cloth to shine Scourge’s shoes. Pinkie then took out a toaster, and a bottle of water. She then poured the water on the toaster and electrocuted herself as her hair stood up firmly and she fell back off the stage, smoldering. Both Scourge and Adagio laughed. Rarity then came up to next to Adagio holding a short orange dress with a red jewel in the center. Adagio eyed it with delight
“Queen Adagio, Empress of every living. I have finished your dress.” Rarity said unemotionally.
“Hmm, this is quite good.” Adagio said. “How many times did you prick your finger sewing it?”
“Only 15 times.” Rarity said indifferently, holding up bloodstained fingers.
“Do it again, and make it 75 times.” Adagio said. Rarity then left as she exited the stage. Knuckles and AppleJack were on the ground, lifting two red giant thrones with golden stripes twice their size. They struggled due to their size slightly.
“Be careful with those. I don’t want a scratch on them.” Scourge warned. “I could use something cheerful right now.” He then clapped his hands. Rainbow Dash, and Fluttershy then came in dressed in green cheer-leading uniforms with green pom poms. Scourge grinned upon seeing them.
“Scourge, Scourge, he’s our guy. If he can’t do it, then no else should bother to try.” They chanted in union, devoid of any passion, as they waved their poms poms. Just then, Sonic and Sunset came in, led by Aria and Sonata. Scourge and Adagio noticed them as they walked up the stage as he raised an eyebrow with curiosity, causing Sunset to give him a slightly annoyed look, which caused him to shrug.
“Well, well, well. If it isn’t the blue wimp and his hot friend.” Scourge said as he winked at Sunset. She rolled her eyes and turned away from him in disgust. “I’m glad you came back. I was getting bored wailing on these two.” Scourge motioned to the left to Tails and Silver who were covered in bruises. Tails had a black eye.
“I’m impressed Sunset. It takes a lot of bravery or stupidity to come back to a place where you have no chance of winning. Here to surrender?” Adagio said smugly.
“Actually yes.” Sunset said, causing the Dazzlings to break out into puzzled looks on their faces.
“I’ve realized that we have no possible chance of winning. With those new stones of yours, the only option is to be crushed or live as your servants. The second option is much better.” Sunset explained, pretending to sound hopeless.
“Well, I’m glad you see things that way.” Adagio said. “Time to add you to our list of servants.” She then approached Sonic and Sunset. Sunset glanced to Sonic and he slightly smiled.
“Now, Sonic!” Sunset yelled. Sonic became a blue blur, and went to steal the Anarchy Beryl, but Scourge intercepted him. He then held Sonic in a headlock, who struggled, but Scourge held him tightly. Adagio shook her head in a taunting manner.
“So close. Just for that Sunset, as my slave, the first thing you’ll do every morning for the rest of life is clean my boots with your tongue.” Adagio said.
“This is boring. Can we just kill them instead of mind-controlling them?” Scourge said. Adagio looked at him with shock, as if he was a madman.
“All right, listen. We don’t kill. There’s no need too. The more the merrier.” Adagio replied as she pointed to him sternly.
“You already have enough slaves. Missing two won’t hurt.” Scourge said.
“No. You’re. Not. Killing. Anyone.” Adagio said firmly. Scourge just laughed at her attempt to dominate him.
“Hey, at what point did you think I took orders from you?” Scourge asked smugly.
“I was planning to do this later, but you’re testing my patience now.” Adagio said. She released a green soundwave at Scourge, but he easily dodged it, which released Sonic from his grip and he hit the floor. He then became a green streak, and took the Anarchy Beryl’s from all 3 Dazzlings. He then appeared in front of them, holding them up. All 3 of them now had worried looks on their faces as they huddled nervously.
“I was planning to do this later, but now you’re testing my patience.” Scourge mocked as he clutched the Anarchy Beryl in his hands.
“It was fun working with you chicks, but I’m more of a lone wolf kind of guy. Now after I get rid of you, I’ll take over this planet , one piece at a time.” Scourge said darkly. He then charged a green boost and charged at the Dazzlings. They braced for impact as they shut their eyes, but Sonic became a boost which blew he and Scourge back. Scourge growled up at Sonic as he slid back against the stage.
"Not happenin' Scourge!" Sonic declared.
"You know blue, this was a fun for a while, but now it's getting old." Scourge muttered. He and Sonic became green and blue streaks as they clashed around the gym and eventually shot up towards the ceiling, crashing through it. As they did, some rubble began to fall and approached the Dazzlings. The three of them looked up as it came to them, frozen with fear. Sunset then suddenly tackled them out of the way, setting all 4 of them on the ground. The Dazzlings looked at Sunset, dumbfounded by what she just did.
“You..saved us?” Adagio said with bewilderment. Sunset nodded.
“But why?” Aria asked equally shocked.
“Even though we're enemies, I will always help someone who needs it.” Sunset replied. She turned her attention to the hole in the ceiling and got a determined look.“Sonic’s in trouble. I have to do something.” Sunset added as she started to head for the exit of the gym.
“You can’t go. You can't do anything against Scourge.” Adagio protested.
“I have to try.” Sunset insisted as she headed through the door.
Outside on the field, Sonic and Scourge ran side by side at high speed, struggling with each other as they did, before they blew each other back and faced each other on opposite sides.
"You should've stuck with the Dazzlings. You can't take me alone." Sonic taunted.
"I wouldn't be so cocky blue." Scourge replied with a menacing grin. Sonic just ignored his threat and charged to him at full speed. As he did, Scourge took out the three Anarchy Beryl he had taken from the Dazzlings and clutched them in his hands.
"Chaos...Control!" Scourge yelled as he raised his fist in the air, making a time wave shoot through the area. When it reached Sonic, it caused him to slow down suddenly until he stopped mid-run. He was frozen in time. Scourge casually walked up to the frozen Sonic and dashed through him twice. Scourge then snapped his fingers, and time began to flow. Sonic was then sent sprawling on the ground to the side as he skidded against it. Sonic looked up at Scourge standing over him as he tossed the Beryl in the air cockily.
"You may be just as quick, but if you can't move, then doesn't much, does it blue?" Scourge told him. "Now, just one more time should it.
Scourge clutched the Beryl again, but before he could do anything. Sunset then came in front suddenly, staring him down firmly.
“Stop.” She demanded.
“Yes, I’ll stop because a girl who has now power to stop me, told me to.” Scourge mocked. He then began to eye Sunset up and down. “You know, you’re pretty hot actually. Want to be my queen?”
“I’d rather die.” Sunset replied.
“Oh well, suit yourself.” Scourge shrugged. He then performed another boost and headed towards her. Sonic gasped at what could possibly have happened.
“Don’t be afraid. We can do this. We have to save everyone.” Sunset said as Scourge approached her. As he did, a yellow sphere surrounded Sunset suddenly and she was protected as Scourge was blown back, throwing the Anarchy Beryl out of his hands and on the floor. She then rose in the air and ponied up. Scourge looked on in dismay
“I did it! I was able to pony up, without any instruments!” Sunset exclaimed as she looked at herself with awe.
“Well, this is lame. Seriously, you guys are harder to kill than cockroaches.” Scourge muttered annoyed. Sunset then approached Sonic.
“Are you okay?” She said.
“I’ll be fine. Now all that's left is to trounce him.” Sonic said rising up as he approached Scourge.
“It won't be so easy Blue!” Scourge said defiantly. He then began to vibrate in place suddenly at high speed in a crouched running position.
“I got this.” Sonic said as he did the same thing.
“Wait, Sonic.” Sunset said suddenly. As he was vibrating, Sunset put her hand on his shoulder and transferred her power to Sonic. Orange and yellow energy began to flow through his body and it began to glow those colors.
“Ready Sonic? Let’s show him the power of friendship!” Sunset exclaimed.
“Ehh, that’s kind of cheesy.” Sonic replied. She just smiled. Scourge then charged towards them, breaking the sound barrier as he was covered in a green aura and leaving green hoops as he flew through the air, making green wind quakes as well. Sonic then charged as well, except that his aura was much larger and flaming orange, and shooting out small orange and yellow sparks. The resulting clash made a blinding light and a large orange shock wave that blew Sunset away and on the floor. When Sunset began to rise up, she saw Sonic and Scourge lying on the ground. Scourge groaned. Sonic got up very slowly and wobbled, quite dazed.
"What just happened?" Scourge said weakly. Sunset came to Sonic and held him stand up and keep his balance.
“Normally, your's and Sonic's sonic booms would have been equal, but with the added power of my magic, Sonic's was vastly superior.” Sunset explained.
“This is bull-crap!” Scourge said as he started to rise feebly. He could barely stand and looked like he was about fall over any second due to anything, even a small gust of wind.The Dazzlings then came out of the school and began to approach him. Adagio then pushed him roughly and he landed on the ground hardly. He didn't get up as his eyes were closed. The Dazzlings then picked up the Anarchy Beryl. Sunset and Sonic noticed them and glared at them, preparing for another confrontation. The Dazzlings then released a large green sound wave that covered the school, but instead of mind-controlling Sonic and Sunset, nothing happened.
“Don’t worry. We just released everyone from our mind control.” Adagio explained. Sonic and Sunset looked confused at their actions.
“We don’t want to accomplish our goal of taking over the world with his help.” Aria said as she pointed at Scourge.
“Plus, we want to say thanks for saving our lives.” Sonata added with a smile. “We're really grateful. For realzies.”
Just then, the Anarchy Beryl that the Dazzlings had shattered into tiny pieces. The Dazzlings looked horrified and couldn't speak out of frustration.
“No!!!!!! Ughhh, the one time we decide to do just one small good thing it backfires!” Adagio said angrily. Sunset put a hand on her shoulder.
“You did a good thing. That counts.” Sunset said with a smile.
“Don’t play nice now, Rainboom.” Adagio said shaking Sunset’s hand off her shoulder. “This doesn’t make us friends or anything. We just repaid a debt. Next time, it’s back to business as usual. Let’s get out here.” .
“Awww. I really wanted to spend more time with Manic.” Sonata whined. “I’m sure Aria wanted to spend more time with you-know-who. Aria shot daggers at Sonata with her eyes upon hearing this.
“I don’t care about Shadow!” Aria stated firmly.
“I didn’t mention Shadow.” Sonata said with a smirk. Aria turned slightly red and hit Sonata over the head.
“Ow!” Sonata exclaimed as she rubbed her head.
“Wait, Adagio. Is there a chance you and I could-?” Sonic started to say with some hope before she left. He gave her an awkward smile.
“No.” Adagio replied bluntly. She and the other Dazzlings then left as they walked off the field. Sonic had a dejected look on his face. Sunset patted his back to cheer him up.
“You know what they say, Sonic. You can’t win all of them. What are you going to do about Scourge?” Sunset said.
“I don’t know. I’ll just dump him back to his world, and make sure he stays there. Haven’t figured all of it out yet.” Sonic said. The Rainbooms, along with Shadow, Manic, Knuckles, Tails and Silver then came up to Sonic and Sunset from inside the school. They all looked puzzled as they held their heads. Sonic and Sunset turned to them as they approached them.
“What happened? My fingers are all bloody!” Rarity exclaimed holding up all her fingers in horror and noticing the stains.
“Why do I feel….electrified?” Pinkie said her hair brimming with electricity.
“Why do I feel like I was shining someone’s shoes?” Shadow asked.
“Why are Fluttershy and I dressed like this?!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed, looking down at her cheerleading outfit with disgust. Fluttershy looked embarrassed as she tried to cover herself with her arms and her face was redder than a tomato.
“Why do I feel like the happiest guy on the planet?” Manic said touching his lips with a small smile.
“It’s a long story, guys.” Sonic said as he rubbed his brow. He then suddenly fell back on the ground, causing everyone to look down at him.
THE END.
