Meanwhile inside the school's gymnasium, we see a girl practicing tennis. Bouncing a ball on the wall back and forth. The girl has a short boyish light turquoise hair and brilliant opal eyes. She wears a white dress over a green shirt, green shorts, light-green socks and tennis shoes. This is Tennis Match.

Tennis Match

Tennis continues to practice when a voice spoke, "Your working too hard, Tennis Match." the voice pointed out. Tennis turns to see a boy standing behind her, the boy has a spiky orange hair and light grayish skin tone. He wears a red sweater jacket, brown pants and red shoes. This is Heath Burns.

Tennis panted, "I know... but I had to..." she replied while wiping the beads of sweat on her forehead.

"Tell me again why are you working so hard?" Heath asked crossing his arms.

Tennis looks at him, "Rainbow Dash entrusted me in keeping an eye on everyone in the Sports Club since her cousin, Skyroar refused to take her place." she replied, "I got so caught on advising everyone that I forgot to train myself." she admitted.

Heath sighed, "I get it." he said, "But you need to rest just for a bit and replenish yourself, we don't want you to fall in exhaustion." he advised.

Tennis sighed, "All right..." she replied.

Heath nodded before looking at his watch, "Well... I gotta go, I had something a science project to do with Golden Hazel, so I'll see you around." he said before walking his way out of the gymnasium.

"See ya..." Tennis replied.

After a minute of practice, Tennis decided to take seat on a blue chair bench and took a drink when she noticed a black gem next to her, "What's this?" she asked herself as she picks it up, "It looks pretty..." she mused.

"You're jealous..."

Tennis Match was taken a back by a mysterious voice, "W-what..." she squawked in shock.

"You're trying to hard to become like her..."

Getting confused, Tennis began to look around in panic, "W-who are you? And what are you t-talking about?" she demanded.

"You're trying hard to become like Rainbow Dash..."

"That's n-not true! I'm not trying to become like her! She's different!" Tennis replied in denial

"Yes... Rainbow Dash is different... she is talented in almost everything and doesn't seem to lose her touch even without practicing... you on the other hand... is struggling..."

Tennis' eyes widen in shock, "T-that's n-not true..." she replied with a solemn voice.

"Ahh... that's right... wallow in despair as you realize how pathetic you are... that you will never be someone like her... no matter how hard you try..."

"I... I..." Tennis tried to say something back but realization brought her to despair as a dark miasma emitting from the black gem began to surge inside of her with her brilliant eyes began to deteriorate.

The mysterious began to laugh menacingly.

bzzzttt...

Meanwhile walking around the halls of the school, Flash Sentry continues to show his new friends around while introducing them to everyone.

"That's gnarly." Indigo praised, "Being part of a band and all." she pointed out.

"Thanks." Flash replied, "My band is the most popular in this school but the title of best band goes to the Rainbooms, they make songs that truly inspires you." he said with a smile, "What about you guys?" he asked.

"I can play the guitar and sing." Eddy replied.

Indigo's head then slumps down, "I can't sing..." she admitted.

Flash looks at her in surprise, "Really?" he asked.

"I maybe gifted in sports but singing isn't part of my repertoire." Indigo replied.

"I see..." Flash spoke when he remembers something, "By the way... how did you acquire you're uhh... Gifts?" he asked.

Eddy looks at him with a raised eyebrow, "You really wanna know?" he asked as the blue-haired boy nodded in response.

After Eddy finished explaining the origins of the Gifts, "Seriously? That's really unique." Flash replied in awe.

"Yup! And pretty stupid too." Eddy pointed out, "But it's thanks to that, we get this awesome abilities." he said with a grin.

"So you're looking for the Blessed in this school." Flash pointed out, "How can you tell if the person is a Blessed?" he asked.

Eddy brought out a small radar-like device, "With this baby! This radar will help us locate the unknown Blessed. However... we're having a hard time finding him or her." he explained.

"Why is that?" Flash asked.

"You see... this Blessed's Gift is still dormant... which means his or her is not aware that they had an ability." Indigo explained.

"But how did your Coalition detected the Blessed here if you're device can't find them quickly here." Flash pointed out.

"It's because the device used by the Science and Research Department are a lot advanced compare to this." Eddy explained, "So we're all on our own in finding this Blessed..." he said with an annoyed expression with the last part.

Flash then turns to Indigo, "By the way... Eddy told me that his Gift is to create fire.'' he pointed out, "What's yours?'' he asked.

Indigo chuckled, "Oh... I don't have a Gift... in fact, I'm not even a Blessed!" she replied.

"Really? Then what are you?'' Flash asked.

Indigo smiled, "Me? I'm a Special!" she claimed jabbing a thumb at herself.

"Special?'' Flash repeated, "Then what's the difference between that and a Blessed?'' he asked.

The trio then stopped in front of the gymnasium, "Is this the gym?" Indigo asked.

"Yeah." Flash confirmed.

"I'll tell you more about what a Special is later." Indigo said, "But I wanna hear things about this gymnasium, I was pretty interested about this place back in the Friendship Games." she stated.

"This is where we mostly gather around whenever there's an announcement, a party or a dance night." Flash elaborated.

"Dance Night huh? It sure brings back memories." Eddy mused. The trio then entered the gymnasium and Eddy was awed by the sight, "Holy Cow! Look at this place, it's almost as big as the training area back in camp!" he exclaimed.

"Really?" Flash asked in surprise.

Indigo nodded, "Yup! Just remove the bleachers, replace the stage with a small podium and place several training materials and the place will look exactly as the training area." she elaborated when he noticed a lone girl sitting alone at the lower bleachers, "Hey who's that?" she asked.

Flash looks up and recognized the girl, "Oh! That's Tennis Match, she's part of the Tennis Club is really good in said sport." he pointed out, "Rainbow Dash entrusted her in looking after the sports clubs while she's gone." he explained.

Eddy's eyebrows wiggled, "Well... she's a cutie... might as well get to know her." he mused.

"And get tasered." Indigo quipped.

Eddy then suddenly froze in spot, "You know... I think I should leave her alone." he said nervously.

"But she looks down... does she have a problem?" Indigo asked.

"I don't know... but I'm kinda worried." Flash replied as he walks towards her, "Hey Tennis Match!" he called out, Is there something the matter?" he asked in concern.

Tennis Match then looks up to them and they we're taken back with her lifeless eyes.

"Dude! I'm seriously getting some yandere vibes from her!" Indigo exclaimed hiding behind Eddy.

"Forget yandere! Her stare is downright creepy!" Eddy said, "And don't hide behind me!" he exclaimed.

"Tennis? What's going on?" Flash asked with a gulp.

Tennis then tilted her head sideways, "Flash..." she spoke making the blue-haired teen flinched from her distress voice, "Am I... pathetic?" she asked.

"What?" Flash asked in surprise.

Tennis then tilted her head again on the opposite side, "Do... I had a chance... to become like... Rainbow Dash?" she asked.

"Well... I..." Flash tried to say but was interrupted.

"Don't think so..." Tennis interrupted, "Flash... are you looking down on me..." she accused.

"I didn't say that!" Flash denied.

"You think I can never become like her no matter how hard I try..." Tennis said as her voice increasingly rising.

"Tennis! Where is this coming from?" Flash asked in confusion.

"Is this normal for her?" Eddy asked in confusion,

Flash shook his head, "No. This is the first time I saw her act like this!" Flash claimed.

"Guys! Look!" Indigo called out.

Tennis Match stood up as she began to emit black miasma from her entire body, "I see... you think I had no chance of becoming like her... " she growled.

"What's going on?" Eddy asked in fear.

"I have no idea!" Indigo exclaimed.

Tennis Match looks at them with eyes filled with hate, "Then... I'll show you... I'LL SHOW EVERYONE THAT I'M WAY BETTER THAN EVERYONE!" she yelled as her entire is completely covered with black miasma as she began throwing dark fireballs at the trio.

"EEEEEEEKKKK!" the trio screamed in fear before diving to the sides as the fireballs hits the spot they once stood.

"What's going on? Is that what you a call a Gift?" Flash asked in confusion.

Eddy pointed the device at her, "Negative! It's not a Gift but something different!" he exclaimed.

"Whatever it is, we can ponder about that later!" Indigo spoke, "Right now, we need to stop her and get her back to her senses!" she pointed out, "I believe there is reason why she's acting like this!" she exclaimed.

Eddy then ignites his fist, "Okay! Time to turn up the heat!" he said as he dashes towards her.

Then Tennis used her tennis racket to hit several fireballs which launches towards Eddy, the ex-scam artist would then spin around dodging her attacks however one fireball hits him on the part where the sun never shines.

"Oh!" Eddy squealed in pain as his fire vanished.

Both Flash and Indigo cringed, "Oooh... right on the testicles." the latter muttered.

"You okay Eddy?" Flash asked in concern.

"She hit me in the nards... why... why did she hit me in the nards?" Eddy asked in a squeaky voice while holding his wounded jewels.

"Incoming!" Indigo yelled as she grabs the wounded ex-scam artist from the floor and began running around along with Flash dodging Tennis' rain of attacks, "We need shelter!" she shouted.

"Over there!" Flash replied as he pointed at the back of the bleachers which they ran and hid behind it but Tennis continues to attack them.

"Okay! We need to stop her before the worse happens! Come on... think... think!" Indigo muttered tapping her forehead with her finger.

Flash took a peak and noticed something strange on Tennis' chest, "Hey what's that?" he asked pointing a finger at the black gem on her chest.

Indigo narrowed her eyes at the gem, "I don't know... but I gotta hunch that's the cause why she's acting like this..." she deducted, "Okay! I can't use my full power to someone like her, it's too dangerous... but I can definitely destroy that gem if someone could distract her." she stated.

"I'll go distract her!" Flash volunteered, "Someone has to do it besides Eddy is incapacitated right now." he said pointing at the still twitching Eddy.

Indigo nodded, "Okay. Just be careful." she complied.

Then Flash then ran out from the bleachers getting her attention, "Tennis! Stop! This is not you!" he yelled while running.

"Shut up! You look down on me! I will never forgive you!" Tennis shouted as she continues to hit numerous fireballs using her racket towards Flash.

"That's not true! Aside from Rainbow Dash, everyone here sees you as a great athlete!" Flash replied as he dodges her attacks.

"Lies! If they think of me that way then why I'm still leagues below her!" Tennis yelled back with tears dripping on her cheeks.

"It's because everyone admires how hardworking you are!" Flash yelled back.

This halts Tennis' attacks, "W-what?" she asked in shock.

Taking the chance, Indigo swiftly made her way in front of Tennis with her fist ready, "Here it goes! My third move of doom... Flicklazer!" she shouted as she flicks her finger which then unleashes a small yet powerful laser towards the black gem, the laser hits the item on Tennis' which then caused a small explosion which shattered the black gem to pieces as the the black miasma around Tennis quickly diminished.

Tennis fell down but Flash caught her in his arms while Indigo picks up the shattered gem with narrowed eyes.

"F-Flash... what happened?" Tennis asked in confusion.

Rather than answering her question, Flash asked her another question, "Tennis... are you perhaps insecure with Rainbow Dash?" he asked.

Her eyes widen before she looks down, "I don't know... I guess... but I am little jealous with her... she's the greatest athlete in this school and I really admire her a lot... it's just... I've worked so hard but I still can't even reach the same level she has..." she admitted in frustration.

"Then just keep on doing that!" Indigo spoke earning Tennis' attention, "Rainbow Dash is definitely born for greatness but there is one thing she admires... hardworking people." she pointed out, "I believe that's the reason why she entrusted you with the sports club while she's gone, because she knows of what you're capable of." she said with a smile.

"R-really?" Tennis asked.

Indigo nodded, "I'm pretty sure." she claimed, "If there's one thing that I like about you CHS kids... is how much of a hard worker you guys are." she said with a smile as Tennis smiled back.

Then Eddy walks towards with wobbling legs, "Hey guys... is it over?" he asked in a still squeaky voice.

"It's done now, Eddy." Indigo replied.

Flash then looks at the shattered gem, "Just what is that?" he asked.

Indigo shook her head, "I don't know." she replied, "But I believe this gem tampered with Tennis' emotions to go berserk and gave her those strange powers." she deducted, "Looks like our simple task is once again turned into something really bad." she pointed out.

"What's going on here!?" an angry voice asked.

The four looks at the gym's entrance door to see an angry woman standing there and is clearly displeased at the ruin state of the gymnasium caused by Tennis' attacks. The woman is pretty tall and has a bluish gray skin tone, a long curly sapphire blue hair and has moderate opal eyes. She wears a purple shirt with white collar and a black belt tied around her waste, dark-blue trousers and lavender shoes. This is Vice Principal Luna, the younger sister of Principal Celestia.

Indigo gulped, "You know... I heard from Dean Cadence that Vice Principal Luna is pretty strict." she muttered.

"You have no idea." Flash replied with a blank look.
