Jason2108 - go to TVtropes, you'll learn a lot of things there.
Here are some random quotes from Gintama - "A prison, you say? You think you'll be free if you go to the world above? A girl like you can never be free no matter where you go. After all, we humans are apes put in a cage called Earth. There is no difference between the world above and the world below. The only difference is which is bigger or smaller. People who pout about how confining the cage is can never be happy. They live their lives only seeing the iron bars. A true lack of freedom is when you cage your soul."
"When you are down, how do you pick yourself up? People fall into two categories... depending on how they pick themselves up. The first one sees somebody who is worse off and thinks, "Hey! I am better off than that guy." And the second kind of guy sees a challenge and tries to raise himself to it."
Anyway, let's us now begin with the new chapter.
Disclaimer: I don't own any characters appearing in this chapter.
-EARTH 615-
Canterlot City, Sugarcube Corner
Later that day, the Rainbooms plus Sunset Shimmer, Princess Twilight Sparkle & Spike & the AWA Gang are seen at the Sugarcube corner hanging out at one corner of the shop having a conversation and drinks.
"Oh, I do hate that you had to return at a time of crisis. There's so much catching up to do!" Rarity said excitedly.
"For starters, a certain blue-haired guitar player was just askin' about you." Applejack stated with a grin
Twilight let's out a big smile, "Flash Sentry was asking about me?!" she exclaimed in excitement while twirling her hair, she then noticed everyone was looking at her. She then let's out a cough, "Isn't that nice?" she asked nervously as she sips her milkshake.
"Yeah, he does... albeit miserably." Ben Tennyson quipped.
"What?" Twilight asked.
IF elbowed him on the arm, "Nothing. Just ignored him." she stated.
"Perhaps you would give us just the slightest bit of gossip from your world?" Rarity asked holding up her cup of tea.
"She's got an official title now." Spike spoke as Fluttershy holds on to him, "Do-do-do-doo!" he imitated a fanfare with a biscuit as a trumpet, "The Princess of Friendship!" he announced.
"Woah." Miyako Gotokuji said in awe as she took another picture of Twilight.
"Wow, that's really impressive. Guess you really were Princess Celestia's prized pupil." Sunset complimented as she rubs her arm. Shiina then placed a hand on her shoulder, Sunset gave her a smile in gratitude.
"She's even got her own castle!" Spike added.
Rarity then got into Twilight's face grabbing her shoulders, "A castle?! You have your own castle?!" she exclaimed in excitement as milkshake spilled on the latter's shirt, "Eh..." Rarity then realized what she done as she clears her throat, "Ooh, uh, lovely." she said nervously as she wipes the stain on Twilight's shirt.
"Still want golden-statue of mine to be build." Chizuru Tachibana quipped as he took a sip of his coffee.
"Keep dreaming." Sayaka Miki grumbled.
"What's new here?" Twilight asked, "I mean, besides your school becoming the target of dangerous magical creatures from Equestria, and getting visited by people from different worlds." she pointed out.
"Yeah, so, that isn't exactly the only strange thing that's happened since you left." Rainbow Dash spoke as Vinyl Scratch was seen walking behind them. Rainbow then brought out her phone and plays a video of her getting ponyfied as she plays her guitar, showing it to Twilight, "Pretty sweet, huh? It happens to all of us when we play." she said.
"We're still kinda baffled how they suddenly retained their magic." Yoshika Miyafuji admitted.
Twilight placed down her shake on the table, "Hmm. My crown was returned to Equestria, but some of its magic must have remained here at Canterlot High." she explained.
"Well that explains why they retain their magic." Madoka Kaname quipped with a thoughtful look.
"So... what are you gonna do about it?" Compa asked.
"Well... now the girls and I are all back together, we can use that magic on the sirens." Twilight replied, "Just like when we were able to use it on Sunset Shimmer when she turned into that horrifyingly awful winged monster!" she exclaimed when she realized something, she turns to Sunset with an apologetic look, "No offense." she said.
Sunset let's out a disgruntled sigh, "None taken." she replied, "Heh. I'm used to it." she admitted.
Rainbow then stood up, "They'll never even know what hit 'em!" she exclaimed as she began to throw a series of punches and kicks in the air, almost hitting IF, Shiina, Sunset and Fluttershy. She throws another punch but was caught by Oohori whom stares at her with a blank look.
"Be careful." Oohori said, "Getting punch, even by accident, is still painful you know." he advised.
Rainbow retracted her hand, "Woops! Sorry about that.'' she replied rubbing the back of her head.
"We've got nothin' to worry about now that Twilight's back." Applejack stated.
"Oh, I'm pretty sure I could find something to worry about." Fluttershy admitted in concern, "But it won't be the sirens." she said as she hugs Spike happily.
"Why do you need something to worry about?'' Sayaka asked indecorously.
"The sooner we do this, the better." Twilight declared, "Any idea where the Dazzlings might be?" she asked as Pinkie Pie waves her hands up.
Sayaka let's out a sigh, "Yes... Pinkie..." she grumbled.
Pinkie finished sipping her milkshake first as she let's out a sighs before speaking, "There's a big party tonight for all the bands who signed up to be in the showcase! That would include the Dazzlings." she explained as a cream made it to her face.
Twilight then wipes the stain off Pinkie's face, "Looks like we've got a party to crash." she claimed as the pink bundle of annoyance let's out a squee of excitement.
Chizuru then turns to IF, "We probably should inform the others about this.'' he suggested as IF nodded in agreement as she took out her tablet and began sending messages to other members of AWA.
Twilight then turns to the AWA crew, "So... can you tell me something about you guys?" she asked.
"For starters, in front of you are a teleporter(himself), a Japanese-Superman(Oohori), a Rainmaker(Yuuki Asaba), a Witch(Yoshika), a Magical Girl(Sayaka), a Superhero(Miyako), a Ninja(Shiina), a guy who can turn into different aliens(Ben), a Lancer(IF), a medic(Compa) and a superhero-magical girl hybrid." Chizuru listed with a casual look.
"Superhero-magical girl hybrid?'' Rarity asked in confusion.
Madoka then raised her hands up, "Oh! That would be me." she revealed.
"Since when did you become a superhero?'' Yoshika asked in surprise.
"I've been taking training lessons with Gran Torino-san." Yoshika replied, "It won't be long before I start wearing a mask." she claimed.
"Well ain't that interesting." Chizuru admitted as he turns to Twilight, "As you see, the AWA is filled with different people with unique quirks and perks." he stated.
Twilight took notes on that, "Interesting." she said, "So, what are you guys doing here?'' she asked.
"Aside from helping Sunset get back here. A common enemy of ours were spotted in this world, they are known as the Apostles of the New World." IF explained.
"Apostles of the New World?" Twilight asked in concern, "The name doesn't sound good." she admitted.
"A mysterious organization that does nothing but cause chaos and destruction." Yoshika explained.
"Okay... that's really concerning." Twilight said in worry.
Yuuki crosses his arms, "They haven't made a move yet, so we're on guard at all times, in case something comes up." he stated.
"Between the Dazzlings and the Apostles, I don't know which is worse, but all I know that they're nothing but bad news." Sunset stated.
"Amen." Miyako quipped as Shiina nodded in agreement.
Before anyone could speak, Kenji Kazama, Sheele, Allen Walker, Edward Elric and Shinozaki enters the shop which Yuuki noticed.
"Hey guys!" Yuuki called, "Over here!" he said gesturing his hands to come over them.
Kenji and the others then sat at a table right next to them, "Ugh... I can't believed we stayed inside that cramped hell." he exclaimed in annoyance.
"What happened?" Compa asked.
"We got stuck inside a locker for an entire hour when we we're spying the Dazzlings." Edward replied as he took a seat.
"What in the hay are ye guys thinking hiding in a locker?" Applejack asked indecorously.
Edward points his finger at Sheele, "Ask Sheele... it was her idea." he replied with a blank look.
Sheele then shrunk down her seat, "I'm sorry." she squeaked.
"Mah! Mah! At least we go out, so no need to fret about it." Allen reassured.
Shinozaki then turns to Twilight, "Is she the pony princess that you're talking about?'' he asked.
Sunset nodded, "Yep! This is Princess Twilight Sparkle, the Princess of Friendship.'' she introduced.
"Hello." Twilight greeted.
"Greetings, Princess Twilight." Shinozaki greeted, "But aren't princess suppose to wear something more... noble?" he asked, much to Twilight's confusion.
"Cagalli... Flora... Lala..." Oohori counted.
"And I retract my question." Shinozaki replied.
"Wait! If you guys are here... then who's looking out at CHS?" Chizuru asked.
"Shoto and Lan are there." Edward replied.
"So does, Levi and Lester." Kenji added, "Even without us around, those two can take care of things." he stated.
Chizuru nodded in response, "Good point." he said, "I'm pretty sure, those two are focus with their tasks.'' he claimed.
Back in CHS, we go to the rooftop to see Levi Ackerman and Lester the Unlikely looking around the place.
Lester then spoke, "Waffles!" he exclaimed.
"Pancakes!" Levi argued.
-BREAK-
Canterlot City, Canterlot High School
Later that day, the large group arrives at the school's gymnasium as they feel the animosity in the air, students are separated to each other in groups with their band members as everyone would send glances with their adversaries. Meanwhile the Rainbooms along with Sunset, Twilight and Spike stood at the snack table as the AWA gang are scattered around the place.
"Ugh... the atmosphere suffocates me." Sayaka grumbled.
"I think I need an inhaler." Compa grimaced.
Oohori turns around, "Hey, Shinozaki." he called, "Will you be fine in this place?" he asked in concern, only to find him gone, "Huh? Guess he didn't even bother entering this place." he stated.
Chizuru then approaches Shoto Todoroki and Lan Hikari, "Trouble while we we're gone?'' he asked.
Lan shook his head, "We haven't seen the Dazzlings ever since the cafeteria fiasco." he replied.
"Aside from the animosity in this place, the Dazzlings are yet to do another move, if they still have more schemes up their sleeves." Shoto stated.
Chizuru rubs the back of his head, "This is troublesome... all right, just keep your guards up for anything suspicious.'' he ordered earning a nod from the two.
As the students continues their animosity at each other, at the stage area, Flash Sentry was arguing with someone, he pulls him arm back as if he was about to punch the person his arguing but he grabs a plastic cup instead.
"I'm gonna get more punch!" Flash growled. As he turns around to walks towards the snack table, he accidentally bumps into Twilight causing both of them to drop their cups to the floor, "Twilight?" he asked in surprise as he hold on to her.
"Eh, bumped, into, always, doing?" Twilight replied nervously with a flustered cheeks.
Flash then placed her up while putting a hand on her shoulders, "What are you doing here? You came back for the big competition, right?" he asked.
"Something like that." Twilight replied.
"Huh. Not that there's gonna be any real competition. No one here wants this as bad as my band does!" Flash boasted.
At the same time, the Dazzlings enters the gymnasium through the doors which Rainbow Dash noticed. The rainbow-haired girl then decided to get Twilight's attention by taking a chocolate chip from a cookie that Pinkie was eating, she then flings it towards the pony princess' head getting her attention. Twilight turns around to see Rainbow Dash gesturing her head towards the doors, she looks forward and saw the Dazzlings walking across the gym.
Twilight turns back to Flash, "Can you excuse me for just a minute?" she said as she walked off, the blue-haired guitar player shrug in response.
Twilight along with the Rainbooms and Sunset gathered together as they walk towards the Dazzlings, Pinkie stayed behind a little grabbing and stuffing as much as cookies in her hair as the AWA gang them approached the sirens.
"What the fuck is Pinkie's hair made of?" Sayaka asked in bewilderment.
Chizuru then walks towards Ben, "Hey, Ben. I haaaaaaad a bad feeling, that whatever they're doing will end up badly." he stated in concern.
Ben crosses his arms, "Yeah... I got the same feeling, too." he replied in agreement.
The Dazzlings got in the middle as the student's argument gets louder and louder, "Oh, no! No one's mingling!" Adagio Dazzle said in mock surprise, "It's like there's some kind of underlying tension that could bubble to the surface at any minute!" she said with a grin.
"It's the fruit punch, isn't it?" Sonata Dusk quipped as she holds up a cup and a bottle of grape juice, "I knew I used too much grape juice!" she said as Aria Blaze rolls her eyes.
Adagio placed a hand on her forehead in annoyance, "It's not the fruit punch! It's us!" she clarified.
"But the punch is awful, too." Aria stated towards Sonata.
"What do you know about good fruit punch?" Sonata demanded as she shoved yhe cup on Aria's face.
Aria knocks Sonata's arms away, "More than you!" she replied.
"Do not!" Sonata replied as she smacks a hand on Aria's face.
"Do too!" Aria countered by brushing Sonata's hair upwards.
"This is just the kickoff party, girls. Imagine what a tizzy they'll be in by the time the Battle of the Bands starts." Adagio stated with a sinister smile.
"There isn't going to be a Battle of the Bands!" a voice said surprising the sirens, they turn around to see Twilight and the Rainbooms standing together, "We're gonna make sure of that!" Twlight declared proudly. "Alright, girls, let's do this!" she said as they joined hands together, "Friendship is magic!" she exclaimed as they closed their eyes.
However... nothing happened as the whole placed went silent as everyone stares at the girls, except for one dope letting out a cough... which turns out to be Lan.
Chizuru let's out a snort as he turns around trying to seize his laughter as Ben watches them in bewilderment, "Oh... sweet Delilah...'' he muttered.
"Epic fail men, epic... fail!" Oohori stated with a rapping stance.
Shoto turns to IF, "What are they up to begin with?" he asked in confusion.
"Something that can stop those girls... but these just end embarrassing themselves." IF replied with a blank look.
The girls then opens their eyes to find out that nothing happened, "Uh, weren't there rainbows and lasers and stuff last time?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"I don't understand. We're all together again." Twilight replied, "Why isn't this working?" she asked in confusion.
"That is really embarrassing." Madoka stated in concern.
"And yeah... take things to eleven with everyone's eyes are on them." Yoshika stated.
Spike then crawls on Twilight's shoulders, "You, uh... really need to go ahead and do that whole "magic of friendship" thing now." he stated.
"I'm trying, Spike." Twilight replied, "I thought the six of us standing together against the sirens would bring out the magic we needed to defeat them. That's what happened before." she stated in confusion.
"Talk about throwing down the gauntlet!" Adagio exclaimed, "This group is obviously serious about winning!" she accused, "A little cocky though, aren't they?" she asked, "Claiming there won't really be a battle. Seems they think they've already got this thing all locked up." she stated as everyone glares the girls.
"Not if the Great and Powerful Trrrrrixie has anything to do with it!" Trixie exclaimed.
"Whatever, Trixie! We're the best band at CHS!" Flash yelled.
"No! The Crusaders are gonna win!" Applebloom argued.
And with that, everyone went back to arguing and is much louder this time around as the Twilight, Sunset and the Rainbooms watches in concern while the AWA gang looks around in disbelief.
As everyone continues to argue, tons of negative aura began to flow out through the entire gymnasium before making it's way towards the Dazzling's gems, absorbing it. Adagio then grabs her gem in satisfaction, she then looks at the Twilight, Sunset and the Rainbooms along with the AWA Gang and noticed that they're not arguing like the others.
"I think we may have found what we're looking for." Adagio stated, "Or rather, it found us." she claimed as Aria grinned in realization while Sonata remains oblivious to her statement, Adagio groans as Aria slaps herself, "Magic!" she exclaimed, "Don't you see?! Everyone else has fallen under our spell." she explained, "But not these girls and a couple of people from the back. They are special." she stated referring to Twilight, Sunset, the Rainbooms and the AWA Gang.
"Ahh shit-fucking-shit... the arguing just got even worse." Yuuki grumbled.
"Yeah." Sayaka replied in agreement, "Good thing Shinozaki isn't here to see this." she stated.
"Yeah... if he did, Shinozaki would have start a mass-school shooting, right now." Oohori stated with a blank look.
Sheele grimaced at the thought, "I hope not." she replied.
Ben crosses his arms, "Now what?" he asked.
"I'm thinking, I'm thinking." Chizuru replied as he tips a finger at the strawhat he is wearing when all of sudden, he heard the sound of bells ringing again which was heard all over the gymnasium. Just like from before, everyone inside the gymnasium heard the sound which caused them to stop arguing, the Dazzling were surprised that it happened again, "Woah... again." he said.
"Where is that ringing coming from?" Yoshika asked in confusion.
"Whatever it is, it stopped everyone arguing." Ben pointed out.
Meanwhile with Twilight, Sunset and the Rainbooms, while they are grateful that arguing subsided, they were confused by the ringing sounds.
"W-where did that ringing sound coming from?" Twilight asked.
"We had no idea but Fluttershy claimed that she heard it before several times." Sunset stated, "But to where it coming from, we had no idea.'' she admitted.
"Not only me... but Yoshika and Chizuru heard it before too." Fluttershy added.
"Whatever it is, let's use this confusion as a chance to get outta here!" Rainbow Dash suggested.
Applejack nodded, "Ya heard her girls, let's get going on." she declared.
Sunset then did a hand signal towards the AWA Gang which they understood immediately.
Meanwhile with the Dazzlings, Aria looks around in confusion, "What is going on? Where is that sound coming from?!" she demanded.
Sonata tilted her head in confusion, "That's the second time that we heard that... or is it the third...'' she stated.
Adagio then eyed Twilight, Sunset, the Rainbooms and the AWA Gang running out from the gymnasium, she let's out a smirk, "Interesting... really interesting.'' she muttered in interest.
-BREAK-
Later outside, we see the large group hanging out at the school's entrance steps as they watch Twilight walks back and forth.
"So... what went wrong?'' Shinozaki asked in a matter-of-tact tone.
"It doesn't make any sense." Twilight exclaimed, "I should have been able to create the spark that would help us break their spell. That's how it worked before." she claimed.
"Well with whatever you did back there didn't work, you girls need to come up with another method in dealing with those musical minstrels." Chizuru stated.
"He has point because you defeated me, you drew magic from the crown I was wearing." Sunset stated, "The sirens' magic comes from their music. So maybe you have to use the same kind of magic to defeat them." she claimed, "Or... maybe not." she quipped.
"No. I think you're onto something." Twilight admitted with a grin.
"Really?" Sunset asked in delight.
"It's when you play music that you transform now, right?" Twilight pointed out.
"Yup. Ears, tails, the whole shebang." Applejack listed.
"Don't forget about magical light shows whenever you girls transform." Edward added.
"So maybe the way to use that magic to defeat the sirens is by playing a musical counter-spell!" Twilight implied.
Fluttershy brushes a part of her hair, "You mean like a song?" she asked with a smile.
"Uh-huh." Twilight replied with a nod, "And in order to free everyone who's been exposed to the sirens' spell, we'll need them all to hear it." she explained.
"Hmmm..." everyone hummed as they began to think when Rarity gasped in realization.
"The band competition!" Rarity exclaimed, "That's the next time we can be certain everyone will be in the same place at the same time." she pointed out.
"Guess the Rainbooms are the band to beat." Applejack stated placing a hand on Rainbow's shoulder.
"And I believe you, Twilight, just became the Rainbooms' newest member." Rarity claimed towards Twilight as the Rainbooms walks towards her as they cheered and laugh.
Meanwhile, Sunset looks down in sadness being left out again, Miyako noticed this and gave her comforting hug while Shiina placed a hand on her shoulders, the bacon-haired girl gave them a smile of gratitude.
"So... since you're now part of their band." Kenji stated, "What will be your role?" he asked.
Pinkie then pops in, "He's right! So what do you wanna play?" she asked as she shown a triangle instrument, "Triangle?" she asked making a dinging sound, "Sousaphone?" she asked as she brought out a sousaphone before blowing it on Twilight's face, messing her hair, "Theremin?" she asked as she a plays very weird instrument, "Soooo magical." she stated in bliss.
"And weird." Madoka quipped with a blank look.
"Where the heck did she get all this stuff?'' Sayaka asked in disbelief.
"She can be a dancer." Chizuru suggested, "Kinda like that asshole from The Might Mighty Bosstones whom does nothing but dance in every performances." he stated.
"I find that unique, you know." Kenji replied.
"I might take a little too long to learn how to play something with these." Twilight stated referring to her hands, "And... I don't dance well, so... I'll just sing." she claimed.
Rainbow the leans on her, "Like, as in, lead singer?" she asked, "Cuz that's usually my gig. This being my band and all." she claimed.
"It's our band!" Applejack argued as she pulls Twilight next to her, "And, of course, as lead singer. She's the one with the magical know-how to help us pull this thing off." she stated.
"Okay, yeah, that's cool. I'll just use this as a chance to hone my already insanely good lead guitar skills." Rainbow claimed.
"When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us become better too." Shinozaki stated.
"What the heck are you saying at a time like this?" Kenji asked indecorously.
"It's only temporary." Twilight clarified, "And we don't have to win the Battle of the Bands. We just have to perform during the first round of the competition." she explained.
"Let's get to learning that musical counter-spell!" Rainbow exclaimed with a raised fist.
"Well, that's just it. I don't know any." Twilight admitted nervously.
"Awww..." Sunset and the Rainbooms let's out a disgruntled sigh.
"So much for that." Chizuru grumbled.
"Back to the drawing board." Ben said as he rubs the back of his head.
"But I'm sure I could figure out how to write one." Twilight reassured.
"Totally!" Spike quipped as he walks towards Twilight, "Twilight can write a spell like it's nobody's business. That's pretty much how she got to become a princess in Equestria." he boasted.
"Technically, I helped finish a spell." Twilight corrected, "And there was a little more to it than that, Spike." she chastised.
"Yeah, whatever." Spike replied with a shrug.
"I've got this" Twilight claimed, "C'mon!" she said as she picks up Spike as she made her way back towards the school.
"Where're you goin'?" Applejack asked.
"Well, last time we were here, Spike and I spent the night in the library." Twilight replied.
"You slept in a library?" Shinozaki asked indecorously, "That is something a princess shouldn't do." he chastised.
"Shinozaki... both Flora and Lala... slept outside a video game store just to be first in line for a new video game release." IF stated.
"And I retract my previous statement." Shinozaki replied.
"Are you crazy?!" Pinkie exclaimed as she got in front of Twilight, "We're besties now!" she claimed as she engulfs the pony-princess with a tight hug, "Slumber party at my house!" she announced as the girls looks at each other in excitement.
"Slumber party, huh?" Sayaka mused, "Been a while since I joined one." she admitted.
"The last slumber party we had is the one Nep-Nep organized." Compa chimed.
"That one ended in a disaster." IF grumbled.
Pinkie then turns towards the boys, "What about you guys, wanna join us?" she asked.
Chizuru let's out a chuckle, "Thank you, Pinkie but we must decline. Slumber parties are not our thing." he replied.
"So, what are you guys gonna do?" Rainbow asked.
Chizuru let's out a smirk, "Of course... we're having a guy's night out." he replied.
And that's it with this chapter! Nothing much to say but next chapter, the girls have a slumber party while the boys had a guy's night out.
Until then paalam!
