The next morning, Twilight woke up to find herself leaning on the table she and Shadow was working on. She looked around and saw Shadow was no where to be found. As she stood up, she notice there was a blanket covering her from her shoulders. This brought a smile to her face. She must have fallen asleep and Shadow put it on her.

She moved to the living room and saw both Sonic and Shadow were missing. She looked around those but saw not only was she the only girl awake, but Sonic and Shadow was no where to be found. She shrugged her shoulders and went to the bathroom to freshen up. On her way there she saw Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie exiting her room.

"Morning girls!" Twilight said to them.

"Morning, Twi," Rainbow yawned.

"Morning," Pinkie said still full of energy.

"Y'all going to the bathroom too?"

"Yeah, gotta get ready so we can kick those Siren's butt!" Rainbow smashed her fist into her hand. Pinkie nodded.

"Well, let's go together,"

Rainbow and Pinkie agreed. Once they got close to the door, they heard voices and running water. They all leaned their ears to the door to listen better.

"How long do you think we'll be hear Shadow?" One voice asked with a swishing sound. Obviously it was Sonic and it sounded like he was brushing his teeth.

"Who knows." another voice replied. That was Shadow and by the sound of it he was taking a shower. The thought of that made Twilight and Pinkie's faces red. "We might be here forever."

"Seems a little boring here though. Other than this Sirens business, there doesn't look like much happens here."

"True."

"And school? Really!?"

Well at least one of us can easily go through it."

"Oh sure. If I had the top minds of the world to teach me in a orbiting space station and have the brain of a computer, I'd be smart too." They girls didn't know what to make of that.

"No, you would't. You can barely sit still for one minute."

"Hehe. Yeah you right. Can't we just use the chaos emeralds to make a portal there? We made a portal to Silver's world."

"No we can't. We only got to silver's world cause it was not only connected to our own, but because it was alternate future version of it. Where we are now is a completely different universe that's maybe light years from Mobius. We're very lucky we didn't end up at scattered atoms. Beside even if we could, Just the two of us can't make that big a jump even with all seven."

"Hard to believe to chaos emerald were turned into these rings."

This made the the girls sad, but couldn't tell what was sadder. That they wanted to leave or the fact that they can't. Twilight figured out how to travel in between her two world, but Sonic and Shadow could never return to their home. Never see any of their friend again.

"(sigh) I am gonna miss everyone, but mostly beating up Eggman."

"Yeah. I'm kinda worried about that. Do you think everyone will be alright without us?"

"Everyone, yeah. Amy, no. Hehehe. She's probably missing you like crazy." Rainbow Dash narrowed her eyes in jealousy.

"What about Rouge? Won't she miss you too?" Sonic asked after spitting. This time it was Pinkie and Twilight's turn to be jealous.

"It's not like that. We're only Teammates, nothing more."

"Same with me and Amy."

"Exept Rouge doesn't stalk me where every I go. Hand me a towel. Thanks."

"Hehe. True and I'm especially not gonna miss that hammer of hers."

"Or her surprise hugs while getting us mixed up." Sonic and Shadow shared a laugh. "So ... what's between you and rainbow head?"

Rainbow Dash's face turned completely red when she heard that. They heard Sonic talk nervously. "Rainbow Dash? There's nothing between us."

"You mean 'not yet'"

"Well ... I ... she ...we're." If it was possible, Rainbow Dash's face was getting redder. Rainbow Dash turned her head and saw Twilight and Pinkie were laughing at her. She then glared at them.

"Hehehehe. You so got a thing for her."

"Oh yeah? What about you?"

"What about me?"

"Don't think I didn't notice you getting close to two certain girls." This time it was Twilight and Pinkie's turn to blush while Rainbow Dash smiled at them

"There isn't anything between me, Twilight Sparkle and Pinkie Pie."

"I didn't say 'Twilight Sparkle and Pinkie Pie'. I just said 'two certain girls'. And don't you mean 'not yet." They could practically see Sonic's smug face as he just used Shadow's own word against him.

"Whatever let's go!"

They suddenly heard the door unlock. They quickly hid themselves in the nearest room. They left a creak in the door and saw Sonic and Shadow leaving the bathroom. Once they were gone, the three let out a breath they were holding.

"What are you doing here?" a voice asked surprising them. They turned and saw Maud.

"Umm nothing." Rainbow replied nervously. "What are you doing here?"

Maud gave her a blank look. "This is my room."

The girls looked around and saw it was indeed her room. It look like a stranded bedroom except it had rocks everywhere. All the rocks were on shelves and labeled. On the nightstand was Boulder.

"Umm we're just gonna go now"

"... ok"

With that they left and went to the bathroom. Once they were done, the went down stairs. When they got there, the saw, Sonic laying on the couch with an apple in hand watching TV and Shadow working in his book with a cup of coffee. None of the girls could face them so they when into the kitchen to grab their breakfast.

Once the rest of the Rainbooms were down, they all met in the living room. Sonic was sitting in a chair turned backwards, Shadow was leaning against a wall. Twilight, Pinkie, Rarity were on the couch with Sunset Shimmer sitting on the arm rest, and Fluttershy and Applejack were sitting in chairs.

"So what's the plan?" Sonic asked.

"Well firstly we should practice the counter-spell," Twilight answered.

"Well we can practice it and ma family's farm. They won't mind," Applejack said. "But What about you guys?"

"Me and Shadow will tag along. Just think of us as your audience." Sonic replied.

"Alrighty. Let's go!"

/

Once they got there, they set up in Applejacks's garage. After they were set and in play, Twilight pulled out her book. Soon she began to sing while the rest played. Unfortunately the song wasn't good. It was terrible. So bad, but they kept on trying.

"Hey, hey, listen.

We've got a message for you

We're not all alike

But our friendship is true

Yeah, we're really different

But we still get along

So hey, hey, listen to our song

You may think you're in control

But we're here to prove you wrong

With the friendship in our music

With the power of our song

Gonna stomp our feet, clap our hands

With the magic of friendship

Gonna stop your evil plan

"That sounded way better than the last five times you played it," Spike said trying to be nice.

"Nope," Big Mac said walking by with a bucket full of apples.

"How can I say this gently?" Shadow thought for a moment. "Sonic?"

"It sounded so bad, I wanted to rip my ears off and burn them," Sonic said plainly.

"That was gently?" Sunset asked.

"I think it's pretty obvious what's going wrong with this counter-spell," Rainbow Dash said putting her hand on her hips.

"You're turning what should be the chorus into a five minute guitar solo so you can show off for Sonic?" Applejack questioned angrily.

Rainbow Dash blushed before saying, "I wasn't showing of for him. I just have to pick up the slack somehow. Are you guys even trying?"

"I'm trying," Fluttershy cut in.

"It's fine." Twilight laughed hysterically. "It'll be fine. One more time from the top."

"I think its best if you all take a break," Shadow said standing up.

"Besides, me and Shadow could use some practice," Sonic said taking Rainbow Dash's guitar.

"You're right" Twilight said as she and Fluttershy sat down.

"Grand idea, darling," Rarity said. "And maybe we could try some of the wardrobe choices I've put together? I'm particularly fond of this one." Rarity rolled some clothes in before trying one on. Show now wore a pink sparky band uniform. "Of course, we could always go with something a bit more modern."

"We're trying to save our school here," Applejack told her while handing Shadow her bass and sitting down. "Enough with the costumes."

"You can never have enough costumes." Rarity was now in a gold suit with a futuristic helmet.

"She just wants to make things fun." Pinkie supported. "Isn't that what being in a band is supposed to be?"

I'll start things off, but I'm a little out of practice," Sonic said as he played a hardcore rift before suddenly stopping.

Rainbow Dash's jaw dropped when she saw this. Sonic repeated the posses a few more times, each getting more and more better. Soon he turned a guitar to it's loudest and played a solo amazingly. Shadow smiled before he stood in front of Sonic.

"Holy moly," Pinkie said as she started playing her drums.

Next this the girls knew, The Freedom Fighter playing the most amazing music ever. Sonic would play one solo while Shadow were follow it with his own. From their point of view, it didn't look like practice. It looked like a guitar battle. Soon instead of going at each other, they were playing together. At the final number, Sonic raised his guitar up while Shadow dropped to his knees. Once they were done, they looked at each other and did a fist bump.

"Looks like we still got it," Sonic smirked.

"No doubt," Shadow smirked back.

"Wow guys that was amazing," Twilight said while the girls agreed.

"Amazing?" Rainbow questioned. "That was the most epic thing I ever saw. How did you guy get so good?"

"Please. I've been playing since I was a kid,"

"I can easily memorize everything and replicate it,"

"As interesting as this is, we don't have that much time. We're supposed to check in at the Battle of the Bands in fifteen minutes." Sunset informed her friends. The Rainbooms gasps while gathering all their equipment.

"But ... But it's not ready. If we play the counter-spell in the first round and it doesn't work, the Sirens will make sure we don't get a chance to play it again."

Suddenly she felt someone slap her. The sound of it made everyone stop. Shockingly enough it was Shadow who did it. He then put his hand on her shoulders and said, "Twilight! You have to calm down."

"Yeah, Twi," Applejack said. "Besides we'll buy ourselves some time so you can keep workin' on it."

"And how do you propose we do that?" Rarity asked.

"We compete in the Battle of the bands for real. I take over lead vocals again and we stay alive until the finals. We unleash the counter-spell then!" Rainbow Dash said excitedly. She then turned to Twilight. "You'll have figured it out by the finals, right?"

"Of course she will," Spike said before twilight could answer. "Twilight Sparkle's never met a problem she couldn't solve. Right, Twilight?"

"Right," Twilight answered but Shadow could see she wasn't sure.

"Then let's go win us a Battle of the bands!" Rainbow Dash announced.

Sonic smiled at her before saying, "Everyone box everything. Shadow and I will handle things from there."

The Rainbooms won't sure what Sonic was suggesting, but complied. Before Shadow could turn away to help, Twilight called to him. "Shadow."

"Yeah?" He said looking at her.

She smiled to him and said, "Thanks."

Shadow smiled back at her. "Anytime."

"Without the slaps though, please?" She and Shadow shared a laugh before helping the others. All while being watched by an angry Pinkie.

Once everything was ready, Sonic said, "Ok, everyone gather up an prepare yourselves."

"Prepare ourselves for what?" Applejack asked.

"You'll see," Shadow said.

Sonic and Shadow both lifted their hands and the chaos emerald on the fingers started to glow. Then they both yelled, "CHAOS CONTROL!"

In a bright flash, they all disappeared and reappeared in the back stage. The Freedom Fighters stood fine while to Rainbooms were having a hard time standing up. Luckily all their stuff were with them so they had something to lean on.

"You girls ok?" Sonic asked.

"Peachy," Rainbow Dash groaned.

"What was that?" Twilight asked holding her stomach.

"Chaos control," Shadow said. "With it we can move anywhere through space and time."

"So we like teleported?"

"Yeah, but it looks likes you girls are alright. Most people puke during their first times," Sonic smiled.

"Hold that thought," Pinkie said covering her mouth before running off.

"Wait up!" Rainbow Dash went too while everyone, but Twilight followed.

Shadow went over to Twilight and rubbed her back. Shadow looked down at her and asked, "You ok?"

She looked at him and said, "I've teleported before, but this never happen to me."

"You've must have only teleported short distances."

"True."

Shadow helped her up. "Come on. Lets take a walk."

Twilight blushed a little and stood up bedside him. "Okay."

Before they left, Shadow turned to Sonic, "You think you can set Everything up while we're gone."

Sonic smiled and said, "Please. With my speed it will be done in no time."

Shadow nodded to him before turn to Twilight. "Lets go."

Shadow and Twilight were walking around the school for a while. Twilight was hunched over while Shadow held her while they walked. Soon they reached a bench and sat down.

"Feeling better?" Shadow asked.

"Yeah thank," Twilight smiled to him. "You a really gentleman, Shadow."

"Me? Nah." Shadow denied.

"It's true. Your always so kind and thoughtful."

"Hehe. Its nothing."

"Your a very good guy, Shadow." Twilight then leaned onto Shadow's shoulder while Shadow blushed. "It feels like whenever I feel down, I can just lean on you."

Shadow stat still for a moment before quickly standing up. "I'll get you some water."

And with that, he left leaving a confused Twilight.

/

Shadow found himself leaning in front of a vending machine, trying to calm down. He took deep breathes before taking one last big one. He stood up before punching it. Thankfully instead of breaking it, a bottle of water came out.

"Ok. I've calmed down. Now to get back to Twilight." Shadow grabbed the bottle and made his way back. As he did, he bumped shoulders with someone. "Sorry about that."

"You should be!" the person said angrily. Shadow turned around and saw a blue haired guy. He had a white shirt with a blue shield and lightning bolt, with a grey jacket, and blue jeans. "Watch where your going?"

"And you are?"

"Flash Sentry."

In another part of the school, the Sirens gathered. They were all in a empty classroom. Adagio was sitting on the teacher's desk, Aria was leaning against the wall, and Sonata was in a desk playing with her hair.

"Soon girls," Adagio started. "We'll have enough power to take over this world."

"And no more fast food," Aria sighed. "I'm so sick of that stuff."

"And once we do, we can make those boys ours!" Sonata said smiling.

"But who gets who?" Aria pointed out. "There two of them and three of us."

"We'll figure that out when we get there. First we need to deal with those girls." Adagio said. "We need to figure out a way to take their magic."

"Sounds like you three are having a hard time," A voice said. The Sirens turned to the other side of the class and saw a shadowy figure.

"Who are you?!" Adagio demanded.

"Who I am is someone who can help you," The figure said. "I understand you three are trying to obtain a certain power to take over this world."

"Yes we are, but I does see how you can help us with that."

"What if I told you I have the power to open portals to other worlds?"

Adagio thought for a moment. "Hmm. I'm listening."

"A simple thought. Why being ruin to one or two worlds, when you can do it to all of them?"

"I like the sound of it, but what do you get in return?"

"I wish to see the ones that spurned me so suffer."

"And who would those be?"

"I think you are already familiar with them. Sonic and Shadow."

"And what could they have done to you?"

Lets just say they have ruined my own plans for domination. And once they have truly suffered and are nothing but shells of their former selves, you may do with them as you wish."

"I like the way you think ... um."

The figure smiled. "You may call me, Mephiles"
