Friendship 1: Let's Start
As the rainbow haired boy sat out in front of the principal's office, he had finally realized how screwed he was.
Oh man, it's not even first period and I'm already waiting for Mr. Harmonics to get here. Good thing that it's Friday and he won't be as mad.
Finally out of thought, he decided to look up, only to be greeted, with that being the understatement of the year, by a very groggy and grumpy Principal with long black and red hair in a ponytail.
...Or not.
"Wait until after the announcements, then come into my office Blitz." Mr. Harmonics walked into office and slammed the door shut.
Once Blitz calmed down from the startle of the door, he heard the announcements start.
"Good Morning Students. It is Friday, September 18. To the little prick who keeps on tagging the bathroom. If I ever catch you, you'll wish you we're never born. As for today's announcements."
As Blitz sat listing to the announcements, his mind was racing about his punishment. He didn't know what was going to happen, but he had a feeling that it was going to be worse then anything he could imagine. After all, Mr. Harmonics had never been so mad that he hadn't yelled at Blitz.
Once the announcements ended, Blitz took a deep breath and waited for the approval to enter the office.
"Come in Blitz."
Time to face the reaper...
As Blitz walked into the office, he heard the door close quietly behind him followed by Mr. Harmonics walking to his desk. "Please, have a seat."
"If it's all the same with you sir, I'd rather stand." Blitz looked at him afraid of what he was going to say next.
"Please sit. It's going to be a long talk."
Yep, he was afraid.
Blitz sat down as Mr. Harmonics was rubbing the spot between his eyes with two of his fingers.
"Why are you here this early Blitz? Class hasn't even begun and you're already getting into trouble today. What gives?"
"It was Gilda, she was picking on everyone else in the gym that's not in sports." Both of them looked at each other before Mr. Harmonics decided to break the silence.
"And that gave you reason to start a fight with her? Blitz, your heart is in the right place, but you need to think before you act. Blitz, I'm sorry."
Looking at him confused, Blitz wanted to know what he meant. "For what?"
"How many times have you gotten in trouble this year?'' Blitz sucked in a breath of air before answering.
"Fifteen times in four weeks. Why?" Mr. Harmonics raised an eyebrow before passing the student handbook towards Blitz.
"Have you read this?"
"Yeeaaahhh... no."
"Open it and turn to page twelve, then read out loud what it states please." At that point Mr. Harmonics turned on his chair to get some papers as Blitz opened the handbook and turned to page twelve.
His eyes went wide.
"Upon the fifteenth incident that year in which a student/students would cause harm to other students, said student(s) will be ... expelled." As the last word left his mouth, so did all hope in him.
Mr. Harmonics sat down with the papers he was looking for. "I'm sorry Blitz, my hands are tied. If it were up to me, I'd figure some sort of punishment for you and you could go from there, but this is coming from the school district." As he got his pen ready to sign the forms, there was a knock at the door.
"Come in." Walking in was his secretary, Nyx.
"Calaver, here are the slips for tomorrow's charity event." She handed him a big stack of unsigned slips, followed by a sad looking pile of signed slips. "I'm sorry, its just that nobody wanted to sign them."
"I'm not mad at you Nyx, I just don't want to show up with less then twenty students." He looked at his black-haired secretary while swiveling in his chair. "This event is always short on numbers." The two of them were thinking of what to do when they heard Blitz speak.
"I think I know how you can get some more volunteers."
"We've already tried the detention hall, but no luck." Blitz looked at him with a puzzled look.
"What! No?" Blitz took in a deep breath before telling them both his idea. "After today, the football teams, all of them, are on bi-week, and no one has a game OR practice tomorrow, and all of the soccer teams have been stretching for right now. I think you should ask the Coaches to have all the both of those teams volunteer."
Both of them looked at each other before looking back at Blitz.
"And what do you want in return?" Mr. Harmonics wasn't a stranger to art of negotiation. "Not to be expelled. Am I correct?"
"Yes." Mr. Harmonics thought for a some time, leaving the room quiet with all tension coming from Blitz.
Then came his answer.
"All right, you've got a deal." Blitz felt his heart start to calm down. "BUT..."
But what
"You are to report to me instead of the coaches, AND any more screw-ups this year will result in immediate expulsion. Am I clear Blitz?"
"..."
"Am I clear Rainbow Blitz?"
Man, I hate being called Rainbow
"Crystal sir." Blitz slumped back in the chair as he felt like his life had just been spared.
maybe I really should just ignore Gilda from now on
"Good, now wait while I right you a pass for your second period class."
Blitz sat there while his mind started racing faster then he ever thought possible. He just weaseled his way out of expulsion, and now he was on thin ice that no one has ever been on. He absent mindedly grabbed the note when Mr. Harmonics handed it to him, picked up his backpack and left the office quietly. Mr. Harmonics picked up the expulsion forms and put them back in the file they came in and looked at the pile of unsigned volunteer forms before looking at Nyx with a semi-worried face.
"I'm sure he'll be fine Calaver, he just needs to behave." Nyx started walking to the door before she turned back to Calaver. "Why are you still worried?"
"It's calling Coach Spitfire that I'm worried about." Both of them shuddered at the thought of having to deal with her on game day. Not even the other Coaches would do that. They would let her vent her steam followed by her cooling down during the weekend.
At that point, Nyx went to her own desk in front of the office and started preparing for her trip to the Coaches office when she heard a female voice from the office followed by an intense argument which was followed with both voices yelling mostly unrecognizable words, the ones she did recognize she'd rather not say, and by having it end with a loud slam and a disgruntled Calaver coming out of his office.
"Can you get me the paperwork to get me a new phone for my office while I'm out?" Nyx turned around to see the remains of the phone that was in his office. "She thinks that she can tell me what to do. She tries that again and she won't have a job anymore." Calaver grabbed the stack of unsigned papers and left the office to go confront the Coach, leaving Nyx to figure out how this would end until Monday.
In the hall...
As Blitz was waiting in front of his physics class, he saw a bunny hopping in front of him and a girl with pink hair trying her hardest to get it to come to her.
"Angel, please get in the backpack. I know you don't like it, but please?" The bunny continued to hop and ignored her.
"You know that's not the easiest way to catch a bunny?" She looked up and saw Blitz standing right over her, which caused her to nearly freak out.
"Oh my, um, I, um, well the thing is, um uh, oh my." She sounded like she was ready to hyperventilate. Blitz looked at the bunny just sitting right in front of them, not doing anything. Taking a step forward, the bunny turned around and hopped once. Noticing this, Blitz took five steps, the bunny then hopped five times.
I'm being taunted by a bunny...
At that point, Blitz got in the take off position with his right leg bent under his body and his left leg in a straight line with his body. Noticing the bunny, it got on all four and started wiggling, getting ready to take off.
As Angel saw Blitz close his eyes, he waited until they snapped open.
Then they were off.
As Blitz chased after Angel, he realized that he was catching up. "Think you're smart, huh?" Angel looked back and saw two hands wrap around him followed by a triumphant cry, only to be cut short by a loud crash and fabric flying everywhere.
"Do you mind getting off of me?" Looking down, Blitz saw a purple-haired male student wearing a purple tie, purple waist coat, white button-up long-sleeve shirt, black dress pants, black socks, and black dress shoes. Blitz got up and helped up the guy he accidently knocked down.
"Oh man I am so sorry, but I was trying to catch this bunny." Blitz held an upset Angel.
"How did you get Angel?" Blitz looked surprised at the fact that he knew the bunny's name.
"How did you..." He didn't get a chance to finish as he heard foot steps behind him. He turned around to see the pink-haired girl running towards him and out of breath.
"Thank...you...for...getting...Angel...for...me." Just as Blitz handed her Angel, the bell rang and he was gone in a flash.
"Are you all right Fluttershy?" The purple-haired student looked down at his friend.
"I'm all right Elusive, and you." Fluttershy looked at Angel; who had the biggest puppy-dog eyes. "Aw, I can't stay mad at you. Just stay out of trouble for the rest of the day alright, and you have a wonderful day Elusive." The two friends hugged and they both went to their classes.
The next day at the convention center...
Blitz walked through one of the many double doors. He saw all sorts of high-school cliques on one side, and all the soccer and football players on the other side. He saw at least a one to eleven ratio, and decided to go see Mr. Harmonics right away. Walking around, he noticed that the tension was palpable, and he didn't like it.
Oh come on, where is he...
As he looked around, he saw Mr. Harmonics sitting at a table arguing with Coach Spitfire, both of which were wearing sunglasses.
"Why the hell are we here Calaver?" Spitfire was not happy one bit.
"Because I need volunteers." He was not happy either.
"Cut the bullshit. Who told that there was no practice today?"
"A little birdie told me." He sat back in his chair and looked up as Blitz walked forward. Coach Spitfire walked up to Blitz and grabbed him by his upper arm and started storming off only to be stopped by Calaver holding on to his other arm. "This one stays with me."
"Oh HELL no, he's one of my students. He's coming with me."
"No he is not. He's coming with me." At that point, Spitfire let go of Blitz arm and walked up to Calaver and they both stared at each other. "Like I said he is coming with me, end of story."
At this point, everyone turned to see what was going on.
Removing her sunglasses, Spitfire revealed the shiner she had on her left eye. "Like hell he is, he's coming with..." At that point Calaver grabbed her by the arm and brought her ear to his mouth where he whispered something that got her to go silent. Spitfire looked at him before looking at Blitz and looked back at him before closing her eyes and taking a deep breath. "All right, he's going with you." One of the other Coaches fainted.
Removing his sunglasses, Calaver revealed not one, but two shiners. "Thank you Coach." Calaver turned to the students and coaches before speaking again. "All right! I would like to thank everyone for being here today. I really appreciate it, and I want you all to know that the community does as well."
"What are we doing today?" A bunch of the students were confused as well.
"We are going to be doing a car wash outside and a pet wash inside. All the money goes to charity." They all gave off approving sounds. "and for those that are here for a while there is a place in the back to get something to eat, which is where I am going to be. I leave the rest to the coaches."
Walking to back, Blitz followed him to find only three other people. He recognized two of them as the ones he ran into in the hall yesterday, but the third one was new. It was a purple haired girl about 5'6", only a inch smaller then Blitz, and even though it was Saturday, she was dressed like it was still a school day. She had knee socks with a light purple color and shiny black shoes. Her skirt was a standard school skirt only a much darker purple than her socks, but her top was a purple jacket with a white button-up shirt underneath and a purple tie; both of which were a shade in between her skirt and her socks, and her hair was a mix of all three shades of purple. She didn't notice him until Calaver sat down in a chair.
"Mr. Harmonics, who is this?" He looked at her before looking at Blitz.
"This is Rainbow Blitz, and he will be helping us while we are here." Fluttershy and Elusive both looked at him before something in their head clicked.
"Wait you mean the same Blitz that's always getting into fights?" Elusive didn't look impressed at Blitz.
"Yeah, that's the one." Calaver looked at Blitz then turned to Elusive. "Be nice to him. He's not that bad once you get to know him."
Blitz sat down next to Fluttershy, and the two of them sat in silence until Fluttershy decided to break the ice. "Hi, I'm Fluttershy."
"I'm Blitz. Have you had trouble with your bunny after yesterdays incident?"
"No, not really. Although he has been giving you the stink eye since you walked up." Blitz turned around to see Angel giving him a death glare.
"You need to relax. Angel won't hurt you."
"Bunnies can't harm humans in a lethal manner." Both Blitz and Fluttershy turned to see the purple haired girl standing behind them. "My name's Twilight Sparkle."
"Hi, I'm Fluttershy."
"And I'm Elusive." Both Twilight and Blitz turned to Elusive standing there with their principal asleep in the chair behind him.
"Hey, I'm..." Elusive glared at Blitz coldly which caused him to stop talking.
"Elusive, why are you so mean to him?"
"He's always getting in trouble Fluttershy. He's like a magnet for trouble."
"Yeah, but that doesn't give you the right to be mean to him, he is after all still a human being." Elusive looked at Fluttershy before letting out a sigh. "Everyone deserves a little kindness every now and again."
"You're right. I'm sorry I was mean to you."
"It's alright. I'm used to it."
Behind the Convention Center...
A figure in a dark robe walked along the shadows trying to remain hidden from the public eye.
"I never knew that this many people showed up to this. It's normally empty." Reaching into its robe, the figure pulled out a figurine of a manticore. "This should be able to scare them up real good. With the emotional state being high, the energy given off will be perfect to break the seal and release the Empress upon this world. Now rise my beast, and create fear in all of them." He set the figurine on the ground and circled his hands above it while chanting a spell.
Back in the Convention Center...
The four of them sat at their station board out of their mind while Calaver was still asleep.
Blitz crossed his feet and put them on the table. "Man this is boring. Is this all we're going to be..." He never got to finished his as a loud sound followed by a shock wave caused all five of them to be knocked out of their chairs. "What the hell was that?"
Calaver got up and went to the main part of the Convention Center to see hell on earth. People were running everywhere and there were unconscious people on the floor. Panic filled the air. As he ran to help someone, a giant scorpion tail came out of nowhere and tried to crush him. Looking from where the tail came from, Calaver saw that it was a Manticore who was about his height, but much bigger in size.
"EVERYONE EVACUATE NOW!" The screaming masses ignored him. He looked over and saw a table on its long side, almost as if it was hiding something. Running over to it, he saw Blitz, Twilight, Fluttershy, and Elusive hiding behind it. "What are you doing?"
"Trying to stay alive. What about you?" Calaver grabbed Blitz by his plain red T-shirt and brought him to eye level.
"I'm trying to make sure nobody dies. Now get off your lazy asses and help me help them." Calaver let go of Blitz and watched as he tried to regain his footing. "Now I know that you are not as heartless as many people state you are. If you want to leave, then there's the giant hole for you to walk out and act like this day never happened despite the losses, but if you want to help me save these people then I suggest you get off your asses and get out there or get your asses out of here and never come back." Blitz, Fluttershy, and Elusive were shocked that their principal talked to them like that. He was right though. If they wanted to live, they could leave at any second. So why were they still there? Calaver turned around and ran back to the chaos to help those that needed it. He was followed by Twilight.
"That was gutsy of you sir." Calaver looked at Twilight.
"They just needed to be told the truth. I see a lot of myself in Blitz." He put on a little smile as he took his hair out of his ponytail. "And he just needs to be guided down the right path."
"I wish they could know." Twilight and Calaver stopped in a cloud of smoke. "There's more going on then just a random attack. I sensed a presence while you were asleep sir."
"I wish I could sense them in my sleep, but alas I am not Celestia." He looked at Twilight before looking at the smoke. "I need you to clear it for me."
Holding up her hand with the fingers together, Twilight opened her fingers and the smoke was pushed away. "That should be good for now".
A scream came from the area just cleared. It was Coach Spitfire. Some debris had fallen on her leaving her trapped. Calaver ran over to try and lift to where she could get out, but it was too heavy. As he tried a second time, he felt it easier only to find the three of them helping him. Together, they were able to lift up and get her out from it.
"My...my leg is broken, and my abdomen has been cut." She moved her hand to reveal a tear in her shirt and a dark red stain on it with a cut in the center of it. Elusive took off his waist-coat and lifted Spitfire up so he could wrap it around her as tight as he could to try and stop the bleeding.
"Twilight come here. I need you to hold this down as hard as you can so the bleeding doesn't persist." She walked over applied pressure on the cut, earning a hiss of pain from Spitfire.
"Where's Mr. Harmonics?" Elusive and Fluttershy looked around and saw that their principal had vanished. "Gives us a speech on staying and leaves whenever he feels like it. Hypocrite." They turned their heads when they heard another loud bang. Expecting another monster, they were surprised to see a super hero fighting the Manticore. He was wearing a red spandex suit with black gloves, cuffs, and boots, with gold trims on the boots and cuffs, followed by a golden belt with a purple gem on the center of the buckle with five more gems circling it with the colors being from top and going clock wise as orange, yellow, blue, pink, and white. He had golden chest armor in a style that went down on his chest with a point and shoulder points. His helmet had a visor in a rectangle shape and five spikes on top the helmet. In his hand was a sword with a red outline with a golden blade and a black handle. "What the..."
The Manticore roared at the hero, but he wasn't moved by it. Bringing the sword above him, he was ready to kill the it when Fluttershy ran in front of him to stop him from killing it.
"What're you doing." He brought his sword down and looked at her. "This monster was ready to kill everyone here."
"Yeah, but he's not a monster and I just know it." She ran her hand across its neck to discover a pitch black collar. "And this should prove it." She pulled as hard as she could only to get a roar in return. She tightened her grip on the collar and pulled with ever ounce of strength she had. As if a stroke of luck, the collar came of and she fell flat on her butt. When the Manticore let out another roar, the hero brought his sword ready to strike only to lower when he saw the Manticore licking Fluttershy in an affectionate manner. "Oh my, I knew you weren't a monster. You're just a big old kitty aren't you?" She started laughing as it started purring.
"How did you know that collar was there?" The hero put his sword up as he walked to the now-calm Manticore.
"Oh, I didn't." The Manticore let go of Fluttershy who know had her hair pointing straight up. "We just need to show a little kindness every now and again." Turning to Elusive and Blitz, they did their best to stifle their laughter but failed miserably. The hero walked over to the collar and picked it up. Examining it closely, he noticed writing on it, but he didn't recognize it. As he looked at the students laughing after what had just happened. As he stood there for a while as people started walking back in the Convention Center since the noise died down. He put his hand on the Manticore letting it know that he was peaceful, and started leading it away from all the people, and more importantly, the authorities. Blitz noticed that he was leaving.
"Wait."
"..."
"Where are you taking it?" The hero turned around while swapping his hands so the Manticore would stay calm.
"Somewhere it'll be safe." While turning, he heard Blitz ask another question.
"Who are you?"
Without turning, he answered Blitz question. "For now, call me the Red Knight." He looked at the Manticore, and it nodded. They both looked up, and the Manticore took flight while the Red Knight jumped and landed on its back in mid-air. They both got away.
Blitz let out a sigh and turned to see everyone with their phones out, recording all of it. The sound of the sirens that the first responders vehicles gave off drowned out the murmuring of the crowds. Everyone was either talking to each other or the medics and officers. Luckily, no one had died during all of it. Blitz started walking through the sea of people. His mind was racing with the thought that he could have left, but he didn't. If he had left, Coach Spitfire would've died. She would've died. He felt a hand on his shoulder. It was Calaver. "You all right Blitz." He couldn't say anything. Shock had finally kicked in. "Blitz, I think you should go home and rest this weekend. And I don't want to see you first thing on Monday morning. Can you do that for me?" Blitz nodded his head in silence as he went to his car and started it. While driving home, Blitz finally realized how tired he was. He wouldn't be surprised if he slept through tomorrow.

Why is there a period at the end of your title? The title isn't a sentence.

Do schools even still DO the Pledge of Allegiance? Also, what's with the "moment of silence" thing? Did someone die? This is confusing.

Opinions on the story itself:
I don't like your OCs. They're pointless, flat, and dull.
Blitz evading expulsion by telling the principal something he, as school principal, should already know makes no sense whatsoever.
Spitfire acting as though there's no way the principal could possibly know the sports teams are on bi-week makes no sense whatsoever, because this, again, is the sort of thing a school principal would know about.
Your descriptions of clothing and costumes are terrible.
Making Rainbow Dash and Rarity into boys just so you can have a 3-guys/2-girls team is ridiculous.
I won't be reading the second chapter of this, sorry.
