My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic and the adventures of David and Tim episode 19: Battle of the Bands (Final).

"Hello again everypony, Welcome back to My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic And The Adventures Of David And Tim! Like we said before; i'm working on this chapter the same day the last one was posted. We're going to try and make this chapter post sooner then the last one did because i can understand if it felt like a long time since that one was posted. As you all may already know like in the last chapter, We're going to start with the songs first instead of doing any last minute dialog's again. And before i bring out David and the crew, i think i might accept OC's again now. Just not too many though and they might not have big parts like everypony else. Loud Sound and his group are also just going to be in these three parts and that's it, nothing too big. And now, let's bring out David and the others so we can start this chapter!" Battle announced before the doors to the room busted open. "What the!?"

"HELLOOO BABY!" Tim shouted with a cannon in his hand.

"Tim, i told you not to blast open the doors! Now i have to pay for them again!" David said as he sat in a chair.

"What in Equestria is going on here!?" Battle cried in confusion.

"Easter. Tim is using a Easter cannon to shoot eggs at ponies outside. We were chased inside by a mob of ponies and now Diana is stuck with them." David explained before sighing.

(Outside with Diana and the mob of ponies)

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! PLEASE DON'T HURT ME! TIM IS THE ONE YOU WANT, NOT ME!" Diana cried, very frightened of the ponies that were holding torch's at her.

"Then how do we get in there then!" Rainbow Dash demanded as she pushed her torch closer to the girl.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH! DAVID!" Diana sobbed.

(Back in the Studio with the guys; Buzz Lightyear and Tim were playing "Go Fish" While David ran outside to save Diana and Battle put the Easter cannon in a safe)

"Ah. There we go. Tim, you cannot use that thing ever again." Battle told Tim.

"WHAT!? But-"

"But nothing! Your playing go fish with Buzz while Diana is screaming for help outside because of you. You can never have your cannon back." Battle interrupted before eating the key to the safe in a creepy way, freaking Tim and Buzz.

"Oh my god! Hult! In the name of the Galactic alliance, i place you under arrest, minion of Zurg!" Buzz yelled as he used his toy ray blaster on Battle.

(Bleep bleep bleep! Bleep bleep bleep!)

"... Really? You have got to be kidding me." Battle quietly spoke in annoyance of this. "(Sigh) We have a chapter to start right now, so just go back to Star command and report to the captain or whoever he is right now or else i'll break you!"

"Ah! Stay away from me, you... You... GAK!" Buzz replied before pressing a button on his toy suit, forcing a set of wings to pop out behind him. "To infinity... AND BEYOND! (Jumps off the table, but doesn't fly away) AAAAAAAHHHHHHH! (Faceplants the floor)"

"... Am i the only sane one here?" Battle asked himself.

"I'm doing the disclaiming today!" Tim shouted abruptly.

"WHAT!?" Battle replied in surprise.

"And now, Let's get on with the SHOW!" Tim announced as he turned the camera towards a TV screen.

(Noponie's P.O.V.)

Now back to where we left off...

"{Hmm... It seems Phoenix Burst still hasn't returned. I guess he did chicken out after all.} Hello Everypony! Sorry about the delay a moment ago, but now we are ready to rock this stage just... For... You..." Loud Sound told the audience as they began to cheer for his group.

(Song Time 1! Song: Mirrors (Justin Timberlake).)

"This is it, boys! Let's give them something to praise us for!" Ratchet told the others ad he began playing the music.

"Right on, Ratchet!" Sound replied before glancing at the other group once more. "Silly little dogs. Get ready to face the music."

FireBlaze, Applejack, Blitz Minder, Rainbow Dash, Bass Rush, Sharp Iron and Rarity caught on to what Sound's glance's were meant for and shot an angry glare back at him. Loud Sound just smiled and turned away from them, angering them more.

"Aren't you somethin' to admire? 'Cause your shine is somethin' like a mirror and I can't help but notice
you reflect in this heart of mine. If you ever feel alone and the glare makes me hard to find, just know that i'm always parallel on the other side. (With MasterMax) 'Cause with your hand in my hand and a pocket full of soul i can tell you there's no place we couldn't go. Just put your hand on the glass, i'll be tryin' to pull you through, you just gotta be strong!" Loud Sound and MasterMax sang together while MasterMax pointed towards the audience and Loud Sound pointed to Princess Celestia.

"'Cause i don't wanna lose you now. I'm lookin' right at the other half of me. The vacancy that sat in my heart is a space that now you hold. Show me how to fight for now and i'll tell you, baby, it was easy, comin' back here to you once i figured it out you were right here all along. It's like you're my mirror (Oh-oh), My mirror staring back at me. (Oh-oh) I couldn't get any bigger (Oh-oh) with anypony else beside of me (Oh-oh) and now it's clear as this promise that we're making two reflections into one. 'Cause it's like you're my mirror (Oh-oh), my mirror staring back at me, staring back at me." The entire group sang together while the audience cheered even louder then before.

"Wow. They're good. I hope Twilight and Phoenix will get here before it's time for us to go on next." Pinkie stated in concern for her group.

"They'll be here, just wait a little while longer. It's not our turn yet, so they have a little bit of time." Blitz replied.

"Aren't you somethin', an original, 'cause it doesn't seem merely a sample and i can't help but stare 'cause i see truth somewhere in your eyes. I can't ever change without you, you reflect me, i love that about you and if i could, i would look at us all the time. (With Ratchet) 'Cause with your hand in my hand and a pocket full of soul, i can tell you there's no place we couldn't go. Just put your hand on the glass. I'll be tryin' to pull you through. You just gotta be strong!" Loud Sound and Ratchet sang together next.

Loud Sound glanced at the other group again and gave them a devious grin again. Iron just turned away and huffed while FireBlaze groaned in annoyance. Phoenix Burst and Twilight finally got back a second later and called out to their friends.

"Hey! We're back!" Twilight cried.

"Huh? Finally your back! What took you so long?" Rainbow asked.

"It's a... Long story." Phoenix answered as he smiled at Twilight, causing her to blush as a reaction. "How are things here?"

"Loud Sound and his group are on stage right now. We're up next." Rarity answered. "So what about you two. Why did you leave like that, Phoenix?"

"... I... don't want to talk about it right now... It still hurts me to speak about something... So horrible. I'll tell you all later, but not now." Phoenix answered sorrowfully.

"And why not, sugarcube? Don't keep secrets from your friends now." Applejack said as she lend closer to Phoenix.

"Hey now. Didn't you do the same thing to me awhile back, Applejack?" Phoenix asked with a smirk, playing coy with her.

"Wha?! I... Oh... Well that's not the point, boy!" Applejack replied.

"What is...?" Bass asked from behind everypony.

"Come on, Phoenix. Don't keep it a secret from us. We're begging you." Rarity said as she grabbed Phoenix's hooves.

"No. It still hurts to talk about it right now." Phoenix replied, looking away from her.

"Why would a secret hurt you? Does it have something to do with Iron?" Pinkie asked.

"Well No... It's something that happened to him when he was just a colt. Please understand that he doesn't want to talk about it right now." Twilight answered for Phoenix.

"And what could possibly be so horrible to talk about? I bet whatever happened to him wasn't that bad." Rainbow stated, getting an angered glare from Phoenix in response. "What did i say?"

"... Wasn't that bad? If i told you now, you'd be taking those words back, Rainbow Dash." Phoenix told her in a cold tone.

"Phoenix, she didn't mean it. Don't be angry at her." Twilight said as she got in front of him.

"I'm not, Twilight. i'm very aware that they don't know what i suffered yet, so i'm not mad." Phoenix replied calmly.

Back on stage, Loud Sound could see Phoenix through the curtains and groaned in anger, then faced the audiance again.

"'Cause I don't wanna lose you now (Oh-oh). I'm lookin' right at the other half of me (Oh-oh). The vacancy that sat in my heart is a space that now you hold. Show me how to fight for now and i'll tell you, baby, it was easy comin' back here to you once i figured it out. You were right here all along." Loud Sound's group sang together while Celestia clapped to the beat and Luna looked towards the backstage room where Phoenix's group resided. "It's like you're my mirror (Oh-oh). My mirror staring back at me (Oh-oh). I couldn't get any bigger with anypony else beside of me and now it's clear as this promise that we're making two reflections into one .'Cause it's like you're my mirror (Oh-oh). My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me."

"Yesterday is history, Oh. Tomorrow's a mystery, Oh-oh. I can see you lookin' back at me, keep your eyes on me. Baby, keep your eyes on me." Loud Sound sang solo as he noticed Luna. "And who do you think your looking at that's keeping you from noticing us, Princess?"

"'Cause I don't wanna lose you now. I'm lookin' right at the other half of me. The vacancy that sat in my heart is a space that now you hold. Show me how to fight for now (KingSparta: please show me, baby). I'll tell you, baby, it was easy comin' back here to you once I figured it out, You were right here all along!" Loud Sound's group sang together again as Sound pointed towards the audience, then to Princess Celestia. "It's like you're my mirror (Oh-oh) . My mirror staring back at me (Oh-oh). I couldn't get any bigger (Oh-oh), with anypony else beside of me (Oh-Oh and now it's clear as this promise that we're making two reflections into one. 'Cause it's like you're my mirror (Oh-oh). My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me!"

Loud Sound glanced backstage again and saw Phoenix peeking through the curtains. Both stallions stared at each other with hate in their eyes.

"You are, you are the love of my life. You are, you are the love of my life. You are, you are the love of my life. You are, you are the love of my life. You are, you are the love of my life. You are, you are the love of my life. You are, you are the love of my life. You are, you are the love of my life. You are, you are the love of my life. You are, you are the love of my life." MasterMax and Boombox repeated in unison.

"Now you're the inspiration for this precious song and i just wanna see your face light up since you put me on
So now i say goodbye to the old me, it's already gone and i can't wait wait wait wait wait to get you home
Just to let you know, you are." Sound sang solo while grinning at Phoenix.

Phoenix just turned away and walked away from the curtains.

"You are, you are the love of my life. You are, you are the love of my life. You are, you are the love of my life. You are, you are the love of my life. You are, you are the love of my life. You are, you are the love of my life. You are, you are the love of my life. You are, you are the love of my life" Ratchet and KingSparta repeated next.

"{Yeah. Walk away, prick.} Girl you're my reflection, all I see is you. My reflection, in everything I do. You're my reflection and all I see is you. My reflection, in everything I do." Sound sang solo again as he walked forwards and posed to the audience.

"You are, you are the love of my life. You are, you are the love of my life. You are, you are the love of my life. You are, you are the love of my life. You are, you are the love of my life. You are, you are the love of my life. You are, you are the love of my life. You are, you are the love of my life. You are, you are the love of my life. You are, you are the love of my life. You are, you are the love of my life. You are, you are the love of my life. You are, you are the love of my life. You are, you are the love of my life. You are, you are the love of my life. You are, you are the love of my life." The others sang together as the song ended.

(Song end.)

Everypony in the crowd cheered for Loud Sound's group while JackTHerbert, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna clapped for them. Backstage with Phoenix's group, everypony was deciding which of them were going to preform first and what song they were going to sing.

"Argh, this is a tough decision. We're all ready to preform for everypony, but we can't decided who's going first." Bass Rush told everypony.

"... Thank you for pointing out the obvious, Bass." Rainbow Dash replied.

"Well, how about...-"

"I know. How about the six of you sing first? I have the perfect song you can sing." Phoenix suggested as he walked over to the disc player and pulled out "Simple and Clean", interrupted FireBlaze. "Sorry, FireBlaze."

"No harm done." Fire replied.

"You want us to sing first, Phoenix?" Fluttershy asked with sparking eyes staring at him.

"... Yeah. Us guys can wait. Like i said before; this is a night for us to enjoy and we should sing with everything we've got, even if it's just for fun. Loud Sound can think of this as a competition if he wants to, but it never hurts to have fun in competitions." Phoenix explained as he put the disc in. "So do you want to sing first or do you want us to?"

"... We'll do it!" Rarity answered for the girls.

"YAY! Let's get out there now!" Pinkie Pie gleefully said as she started walking out, until Phoenix used his magic to hold her still. "Huh?"

"Hold on, Pinkie Pie. All of you have to go out there together and i just want to tell you that we're going to cheer you on all the way. Even if you mess up, you won't let us down. This is just for fun, okay?" Phoenix explained with a salute.

"You got it! Now can you let me go?" Pinkie asked.

Phoenix released her and put the other songs away carefully while the girls walked towards the curtains. Blitz, Bass and Fire helped set up the equipment for the song and Sharp Iron just peeked out the curtain, looking at Trixie. Rainbow pulled him back and pointed towards the snacks. Iron just blinked twice and shook his head before slowly walking to the table with the snacks. Twilight secretly walked back to Phoenix and tapped his shoulder.

(Play Always on my Mind (KH, KH: HD 1.5 and CoM) here)

"Oh, yes, Twilly?" Phoenix responded as he noticed it was her.

"Can we try something, Phoenix? I want to... Sing with you." Twilight said.

"But your about to go onstage, Twilight." Phoenix replied, shocked by what she just said.

"I know, but... In a different way. Like connecting in a different world." Twilight explained to him.

"Hmm... Well, we could try that. We better hurry and make this spell before it's time for you to go." Phoenix replied before both Unicorns touched each other with their horns as they began to glow.

Both Unicorns magic began to form together and they lifted off the ground slowly. Twilight took Phoenix's hooves and groaned in hesitation while Phoenix was just fine. It seemed her focus was getting out of her control, so Phoenix used some more of his power to help her out so she didn't have to push herself.

"It's okay, Twilight. I'm right here with you." Phoenix told her in his mind, which she heard.

"I know, Phoenix. Wait, if i can hear you now, then the spell must have worked." Twilight replied in thought before their magic began to fade.

"And now, introducing the other group of the night!" The announcing stallion called out.

"(Gasp) I have to go." Twilight said as she ran back to the girls. "Phoenix, i hope this works."

"I hope so too, Twilly. I'll be right here where you can see me." Phoenix replied.

"Introducing our other singing group, the group that we've seen practicing for weeks now, preparing for this night to come. These ponies have been practicing very hard, day by day, for this night and now they are going to preform with everything they have to win this concert! Let's give a big round of applause for Team "Ponyville"!" The stallion announced as the Mane Six ran on stage.

Loud Sound was peeking through the curtains, watching the girls wave to the audience and saw Phoenix backstage, waving to the girls.

"Hmm... So your not going to sing first, huh? That's very fortunate." Sound said to himself before walking over to Phoenix's side of the backstage area with a box.

"My faithful student is going to sing first? I can't wait to hear her." Princess Celestia quietly spoke as a smile formed onto her muzzle.

(Song Time 2! Song: Simple and Clean (Utada Hikaru).)

Blitz played the music and Fire nodded to the girls. Twilight looked over at her teacher and nodded to her, getting a nod in return.

"When you walk away, you don't hear me say, "Please, oh baby, don't go."Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight. It's hard to let it go!" The girls began singing together.

In another world; Twilight and Phoenix were standing in front of each other with their eyes closed.

"You're giving me... too many things. Lately, you're all I need. You smiled at me and said, (With Phoenix) "Don't get me wrong, I love you, But does that mean I have to meet your father?" When we are older you'll understand What I meant when I said, "No, I don't think life is quite that simple"." Twilight and Phoenix sang together as they walked closer.

(Back in Equestria)

Celestia could feel the magic coming from Twilight and focused on it carefully. She gasped at the sight of herself being in another world with Twilight and Phoenix, singing together.

"Did they use a spell to picture each other singing together before coming onstage? Smart... And romantic." Celestia said as she watched the Unicorns dance slowly, but in sync.

"When you walk away, You don't hear me say "Please, oh baby, don't go". Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight. It's hard to let it go." The Mane Six sang together while everypony in the audience began to cheer for them.

Luna looked over at Celestia and saw her focusing on her magic. Luna decided to do the same and used her magic to see what she was seeing. Luna reacted in a sad gasp and a tear left her left eyes as she saw the Unicorns dance with each other. Phoenix and Twilight snapped their eyes open upon hearing the gasp and nearly lost focus on their own magic.

"YOUR MAJESTY'S!?" They cried in shock.

"It is okay, you two. We are only here because we could feel your magic force active." Celestia explained to the confused duo.

"Really? Well, since your here, would you like to join us?" Phoenix asked.

Celestia went wide eyed while Luna looked away and blushed.

"Um... Well... I... Uh... That is..." Celestia stuttered in surprise.

"Sure." Luna answered before walking up to them. "Come, sister. Tis' will be quite fun in deed."

"... Well okay then." Celestia replied as she also got next to Twilight.

"Simple and clean." Phoenix sang solo.

(Back in Equestria again)

"(Twilight solo) The daily things... that keep us all busy like this and that and what is what are confusing me. That's when you came to me and said, (With the other five) "Wish I could prove I love you, but does that mean i have to walk on water? When we are older you'll understand it's enough when i say so, And maybe some things are that simple". When you walk away you don't hear me say "Please, oh baby, don't go". Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight. It's hard to let it go!" The Mane Six continued singing together.

Meanwhile backstage; Loud Sound was behind some of the speakers and pulled out a pair of scissors. Sharp Iron peeked from behind him and watched Loud Sound get closer to the cords.

"... HEY THERE! WHAT'CHA DOIN'?" Iron asked in a booming voice, making Loud Sound jump ten feet into the air and fell on his back. "Uh-huh, that's right. Trying to cheat, are we?"

"W-W-WHAT ARE YOU DOING BACK HE- Oh..." Sound trailed off as he remembered that only the girls were singing at the moment.

"Yep. Go back to where you came from before i make you." Iron threatened as he slowly got closer.

Sound yelped in surprise and dashed off to his side of the area.

"Hmm... Uninsimtamating fool." Iron said with a victorious smirk.

(Back in the other world)

"Hold me. Whatever lies beyond this morning is a little later on. Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all, Nothing's like before." Luna and Celestia sang together.

"When you walk away you don't hear me say "Please, oh baby, don't go". Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight. It's hard to let it go!" Phoenix and Twilight sang together next.

(Back in Equestria)

"Hold me. Whatever lies beyond this morning is a little later on. Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all, Nothing's like before." Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy and Applejack sang together.

"Hold me. Whatever lies beyond this morning is a little later on. Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all, Nothing's like before." Twilight, Rarity and Pinkie sang next.

Everypony began to cheer even louder as the music slowly came to an end and Celestia and Luna left the world Phoenix and Twilight made so they could have some alone time. Rainbow Dash looked over to the real Phoenix and sweat dropped at the sight of him just humming the song they just sang.

"Uh, okay..."

(Song end)

The Mane Six ran off the stage and Blitz took out the disc so Phoenix could put it away.

"Spectacular performance by our new comers there and now it's time to bring out Loud Sound's group once again for the second song preformed by them tonight!" The stallion announced as Blitz's equipment magically vanished off the stage and BoomBox's replaced it.

Loud Sound and his group ran out instantly and BoomBox prepared the song they were going to sing next. MasteMax and Ratchet had to set up the equipment since KingSparta and Boombox were in the restroom and Loud Sound was on stage. Meanwhile; Phoenix and the others were taking a snack break.

"(Drinks some juice, then puts it down) Ah... You girls were fantastic out there. With voice's like yours, we're totally going to win." Bass admitted as he scarfed down some apple pie. "Mmm! And Applejack, your apple pie's are also fantastic!"

"Thank ya, Bass. We sure did give them a crowd pleaser." Applejack replied before also taking a bite out of her pie.

"I'll say. Hey Phoenix, why don't you tell us why you left now. Come on, we're just dieing to know." Sharp Iron requested after resting his head on his fore hooves with a wide, creepy grin.

(Play Lily's theme (Harry Potter) here)

"... Why should i? It's only going to hurt me again." Phoenix replied sorrowfully.

"Oh come on, Phoenix! Don't just hide it from us! If it's funny, we promise not to laugh." Pinkie begged him.

Everypony else except Twilight and Blitz pouted and let out fake tears, begging Phoenix to reveal his past. Phoenix just couldn't do it, but knowing his friends, they weren't going to give up until he let up. Phoenix took a deep breath and shook his head, knowing of what was to come. It had to happen... Sooner... Or later.

".. You all... Won't leave me alone about it if i don't tell you... Huh?" Phoenix asked slowly and painfully.

"Phoenix... Is it that painful to tell?" Fluttershy asked, dripping her ears upon Phoenix's eyes shutting so suddenly. "Phoenix..."

"Look, i'll tell you... Okay? I just hope... You won't ask me about this again after this, EVER again... I just... Want it forgotten..." Phoenix replied as he turned away from his friends and hid a few tears.

"... Geez. I can't be that bad, Phoenix... Unless..." Iron trailed off as he remembered something. "Uh-oh..."

"Unless? Unless what, Iron?" Rarity asked.

Everypony just remained quiet after that. Everypony just... Waited for either Phoenix to reveal his past... Or Iron to answer Rarity's question. Princess Celestia was peeking on them with a sad look, just staring at Phoenix as he continued to let out tears from his horrible memory, but didn't cry. Twilight walked over to Phoenix and lightly hugs him, which he returned slowly.

"... Mother... I guess... It's time." Phoenix spoke in a cracked voice.

Everypony else joined in the hug and Iron ate a gummy bear without anypony looking. Princess Celestia let out a tear before leaving the young group alone. Luna however hid near Celestia and walked over to the spot where her sister was. She saw the group of friends hugging and lend a bit closer to hear what they were talking about.

"... Everypony... Brace yourself... Because i can't tell you how... horrifying this was for me." Phoenix started as he let go of his friends.

Blitz and Twilight knew what this meant, but not the others. Everypony gave Phoenix some space and gave him their attention. Just as Phoenix was about to explain; Loud Sound came and cleared his throat.

(Play Scent of Silence (Kh: CoM) here)

"What's happening here, Phoenix? Crying because you know you can't beat me and my group?" Sound asked with a smug smirk on his muzzle, quickly turning Phoenix's sadness into anger.

"What do you want, Loud Sound?" Phoenix asked.

"Oh. Just wanted to see my competition once more before i preform again. We still haven't started our second song yet, so i have a bit of time." Sound answered. "So what about you. Are you... Ready to give up yet?"

"No way! You must have lost your mind if you think we're just going to give up now! We've only gotten started." Rainbow Dash answered cockily.

"This is still just the beginning of the concert too!" Spike added.

Sound just shook his head and walked over to a pie and took a piece.

"Mmm... Nice pie. I'd better bring some for the others so they don't feel left out." Sound spoke through the pie in his mouth, getting disgusted groans from everypony else. "(Gulps down the pie) Oops, sorry. Can i have some of this pie to take back to my boys?"

"Sure." Applejack bluntly answered.

Sound rounded up two full plates of pie on his back and hid a gleeful chuckle. Phoenix also took a piece of pie and stared at it for a few moments before looking at Loud Sound.

"... I know we're not... Friends or anything... but i just want to say... Good luck to you, Loud Sound. I know you may not need it... but i just wanted to wish you luck for tonight. And... I hope we can be friends... In the end." Phoenix said, smiling to Sound.

"... No. I don't need luck, Small fry. Luck... Is for losers. Which is what you are." Loud Sound replied emotionlessly before walking past everypony and headed back to his side of the area. "The only ones who needs luck... Is you."

And with that, Sound left. Phoenix stared at the departing stallion while eating his pie. A hint of anger triggered from every step Sound took, but Phoenix remained calm.

"... That stallion..." Rarity said quietly.

"I know... Something about him just... Makes my bubbles boil." Bass replied, only getting confused stares from the others.

Meanwhile, Loud Sound returned to his group with the pies and sat them on a table for the guys. BoomBox and Ratchet came running towards the table and picked up forks with their hooves. Before they could take a bite out of the pie; the announcing stallion called them out, forcing them to put down the forks and gallop onstage.

"Agh, let's get this over with." MasterMax groaned as he ran out with the others.

Loud Sound was first to get onstage, readying himself in front of the mic while BoomBox slipped on some water and crashed into KingSparta. MasterMax and Ratchet sheepishly laughed while waving at Loud Sound. Sound just groaned in annoyance and signaled them to get on stage.

"Come on, guys. It's time to rock this place!" Sound shouted to his group and the audience. "Play that music!"

(Song Time 3! Song: Light my Fire Kotoko & Supercell.)

BoomBox played the music while the others got their stuff ready. Loud Sound bobbed his head around to the beat of the music as it began.

Light My Fire!

"... (Looks at the reader) Let's rock this stage." Sound said before threw the mic into the air and caught it again. "I will set my hidden feelings free that are deep inside of me. I will break the bonds detaining me to this blank reality, Whoa... Though My destiny has been planted, nopony can predict what will happen. I'll give my all to rise up against it the future that reflects in your eyes will be in my hands!"

(Short Guitar solo from Ratchet)

"Shout Out! Make your existence known! Raise your voice! Who-o-aoa! (Audience and other band members: Who-o-aoa!) Shine your flame! And know you're not alone! Hear my calling voice, and find your way to my heart! Light my Fire!" Loud Sound sang while MasterMax and KingSparta went wild with the music, making it sound better then before.

Meanwhile backstage; Phoenix's group watched the others preform, amazed by their talent.

"Man. They are good." Blitz stated with wide eyes.

"Ugh, they could do better." Iron replied, not really impressed.

"Well we're going to do better when it's our turn. As i've said before; we've practiced long and hard for this. We're going to show them who's boss's! Or at least do our best and hope we win this." Phoenix clarified as he put down a muffin.

"Hope? Who needs "Hope" when we've got me? I'm going to show them how insimtamating i am!" Iron replied eagerly as he raised a hoof in the air.

"... You mean how "Insimtamating" we can be, right?" Fluttershy asked.

"Huh? Oh yes, all of you too... Except Phoenix." Iron answered.

Phoenix just facehoofed himself and picked up his muffin to eat again, only to have it taken from him by Pinkie and eaten.

"... Wha? Who took my muffin?" Phoenix asked, not noticing Pinkie's grin.

(Back on stage)

"We know that our words cannot describe our feelings deep inside our hearts. Words don't have the strength to show this love that still resumes to grow, who-a-oa. Though I wander endlessly without an answer nopony knows that only i know. This flame inside my chest continues burning there's nothing in this world that will ever take... This light in me! Shout Out! For those i must protect! Raise your voice! Whoa! (Audience and other band members again: Who-o-aoa!) Overcome these times that try your souls! Stand up til' the end! Don't stop reaching the goal! Light my Fire!"

(Drum and Guitar played together by MasterMax and Rathetness)

"Yahweh, who shall dwell in your sanctuary? Who shall dwell in your holy hill? Yahweh, who shall dwell in your sanctuary? Who shall dwell in your holy hill? Yahweh, who shall dwell in your sanctuary? Who shall dwell in your holy hill? Yahweh, who shall dwell in your sanctuary? Who shall dwell in your holy hill?" BoomBox and Loud Sound repeated together as Sound flew into the air and Boom created a little magic show to show off for the audience, getting even more screams of encouragement from the audience.

"... Show offs." Phoenix said quietly so the others wouldn't hear.

Apparently Applejack heard him and just nudged him a bit. Phoenix nudged her back and got a soft giggle from her.

"Finally found, I walk towards my path. Standing here, I raise my voice. (Audience and other band members again: Who-o-aoa!) And I won't let go of you again! Shout Out! As loud as you can yell! Raise your voice! Whoa! (Audience and other band members again: Who-o-aoa!) Don't fear of no matter what may roam, Fight through all the pain and make the future your own. Whoa! Whoa!" Loud Sound sang solo before landing with a big crash.

Light My Fire!

(Song End.)

"And that was Loud Sound and his group for the second time tonight, everypony! Phoenix Burst and his group will be preforming their second song in a moment!" The Announcing stallion announced as Loud Sound's group went backstage and everypony cheered for them.

MasterMax, Ratchetness, KingSparta and BoomBox went to get their snacks to feast on while Sound went back to see Phoenix once more. While everypony was distracted, Loud Sound threw a rock at Phoenix and waited for him to look his way. Phoenix groaned as the rock landed on the ground after making contact with his head and looked over to where the rock could have been thrown from, but only saw Sound looking straight at him, waiting for him to come over. Phoenix huffed and walked to sound with an annoyed glare set on him.

"... What do you want, Loud Sound?" Phoenix asked.

"... Nothing. Just wanted to see the little worm again before he goes onstage and makes a fool out of himself." Sound answered with an insult, but didn't get Phoenix discouraged one little bit.

"You can insult me all you like, but it will not work because i'm confident that we will win this competition with everything we've got, and there is nothing you can do or say to bring us down, Loud Sound." Phoenix stated with confidence in him and his friends.

Loud Sound and Phoenix Burst just remained there, staring at each other for what seems like forever after the short talk and just five minutes pasted before Rainbow Dash called Phoenix to come back.

"Phoenix? Phoenix, we're about to head on stage any minute now. Come on Phoenix!" His friends cried as they searched for him.

"You better get back to them before your disqualified, and you don't want that... Phoenix Burst." Loud Sound said with a smug grin present on his face, irritating Phoenix.

"... Right. I don't want us... disqualified." Phoenix replied before heading back to his friends. "Just know that i'm keeping an eye on you, Sound. I'm not trying to be your enemy, but whatever it is you have against me that you don't like, i'll have to figure out."

And with that, Phoenix was gone. Loud Sound just stood in the same spot, glaring at Phoenix and his friends as they talked about what song they were going to sing this time and who were going to sing it. An idea popped in his head and a light bulb appeared above him as he chuckled softly.

"Heh heh heh. We'll see about that, little worm. We'll see..."

"So, what song will we sing this time?" Bass asked.

This time, FireBlaze searched for a song and pulled out a disc.

"How about this?" Fire asked as he held the disc in front of them.

"All right then, but who's going to sing it?" Twilight asked next.

"Hmm... Well, the girls got to sing the first song... So us guys will go next." Blitz answered after a moment of thinking.

"Great. Pop it in and let's head out." Phoenix said, grabbing the disc and installed it before running towards the stage.

Applejack stopped him by biting his tail and pulled him back.

"Now hold 't there, Phoenix. Don't be in such a hurry to go out there." Applejack stated as she let him go.

"Yeah. Just hold on, dufus." Iron added.

"Sorry."

"And now, the group presenting to us their second song of the night; Team Ponyville!" The announcer announced as the audience began to cheer again.

"Oh! Good luck, you guys." Spike said, encouraging his friends that were about to head on stage.

"We'll be cheerin' ya'll on, ya hear?" Applejack added, adding more encouragement.

"Make our team proud, guys!" Pinkie also added.

"We will, everypony. Just watch us roll to victory!" Phoenix replied before heading on stage first before the other guys.

"(Sigh) I know he means well, but he doesn't have to rush into things without thinking like that." Twilight said in her head with a huff.

(Song Time 4! Song: Telling the world (Taio Cruz).)

"Don't worry, everypony. We're going to bring us to the victory circle." Phoenix said in his head as he and the others got on stage. "Especially for you, Twilight. and even you, Princess Luna."

Just as Phoenix used his magic to lift the mic; Smoke started forming from the sides of the stage and covered the band in it. Phoenix started stomping the floor and the others did too, creating a thump sound with the floor.

"Hmm... Hoo-hooo... Whoo.. Every part in my heart I'm giving out. Every song on my lips I'm singing out. Any fear in my soul I'm letting go, and anyone who ask I'll let them know. (Iron and the others: Oh-oh) She's the one, she's the one i say it loud. She's the one, she's the one i say it proud. Ring a bell, Ring a bell for the whole crowd. Ring a bell, Ring a bell. I'm telling the world... That I've found a mare... The one I can live for... The one who deserves..." Phoenix started as he danced gracefully on the stage with Blitz and Bass behind him.

"Whoa..." Spike moaned in amazment.

"Their doing pretty good so far." Rainbow Dash stated with a small grin.

"I wonder what that smoke is for. We didn't use any magic or anything, do we?" Rarity asked.

"No, we didn't. Maybe Phoenix did without us noticing." Twilight inquired as she also thought it was confusing.

"Every part in my heart I'm giving out. Every song on my lips I'm singing out. Any fear in my soul I'm letting go, and anyone who ask I'll let them know. She's the one, she's the one i say it loud. She's the one, she's the one i say it proud. Ring a bell, Ring a bell For the whole crowd. Ring a bell, Ring a bell i'm telling the world... That I've found a mare... The one I can live for... The one who deserves... To give all my heart... A reason to fly... The one I can live for... A reason for life...!" Phoenix continued singing as he made a figure eight with his glowing horn, then pushed it away and it became a heart.

"Oe oh oe oh (Phoenix: Ring a bell.) Yeah yeah. Oe oh oe oh (Phoenix: She's the one.) Yeah yeah. Oe oh oe oh (Phoenix: The one i can live for.) Yeah yeah." The whole band sang together as the heart Phoenix made broke into multiple hearts, souring across the entire square, circling the audience like fairies.

Six hearts flew towards the girls and froze in front of them, then popped on their chests like bubbles. Even the Princess's got a heart and they popped on them too.

"Aww... How sweet..." Princess Celestia quietly said before chuckling softly, getting a glare from her sister in return.

"I'm telling the world... That i've found a mare... The one I can live for... The one who deserves... To give all my heart... A reason to fly... The one I can live for... A reason for life...!" Phoenix sang solo before spinning around like a ballerino, getting a few giggles from his friends. "Yeah. Go on and laugh, you guys. I've practiced Ballet and so did Sharp Iron. There is nothing wrong with being a male ballerino and i enjoy being one."

"Oe oh oe oh (Phoenix: A reason for life.) Yeah yeah. Oe oh oe oh (Phoenix: The one who deserves.) Yeah yeah. Oe oh oe oh (Phoenix: To give all my heart out.) Yeah yeah." The guys sang together for the finish as the smoke lifted itself into the air and cleared out.

(Song End.)

"And another spectacular performance by Team Ponyville! They might have what it takes to win this competition if they continue like that, everypony! Let's give them a big round of applause!" The announcer announced as Phoenix and his group went backstage again while everypony cheered for them.

"I must agree with that pony. Phoenix's team is really doing quite well, but it is not over yet." Luna said, clapping her hooves together with Celestia.

"I should say the same, dear sister. I think they are doing splendid too." Celestia replied.

"Well i'm rooting for Loud Sound. We kinda go way back and i'm pretty much here as a judge because one of our friends requested me to be one. I'm glad to see them together like this again after so long." JackTHerbert added.

"Really? Tell us about Loud Sound if you may." Luna said as the cheering died down.

"Al right then. Well..."

Meanwhile backstage; some of Phoenix's friends were still snickering or laughing about his ballet skill while he drank some water. Phoenix was aware of this, but ignored it.

"Phoenix, what were you doing out there?" Rainbow asked, holding a burst of laughter as she spoke.

"... Dancing. I was dancing." Phoenix answered after gulping down some water.

"Dancing? I'm not sure you can even call that dancing, Phoenix." Fire stated, also holding his chuckles from his friend.

"Now hold on a minute. What i did out there is a form of dancing called "Ballet" and i'm quite good at it." Phoenix retorted.

"Your not serious, Phoenix. That looked so-"

"I'm dead serious, Rarity. In fact... I could teach you a thing or two about it if you want.." Phoenix interrupted, blushing at the thought of teaching his friends ballet.

"Really!? I'm in! I'm in! WhencanwestartPhoenix!?" Pinkie asked really fast, hopping up and down like a bouncing ball.

"... Tomorrow. After we are finished with this concert, i'll teach you." Phoenix answered, sweat dropping at Pinkie's excitement. "Also, i'm not the only pony who learned this."

Iron instantly gasped and dropped a pie he was eating upon hearing those words. Phoenix was about to say what he thought he was.

"Phoenix, please, don't say it." Iron said as he jumped in between him and Pinkie.

"... Don't say what, Sharp Iron?" Phoenix asked with a smug grin.

"You know what i mean, Phoenix! Don't say it!" Iron cried.

"I'm not sure what your even talking about, Iron." Phoenix replied. "I got you right where i want you."

"Please Phoenix, i'm sorry for whatever i did! Just don't tell them! Please!" Iron cried again as he got down on his knees, begging Phoenix to keep quiet.

"What is going on here?" Twilight asked.

"NOTHING! NOTHING AT ALL!" Iron shouted.

"Hey, don't yell at her. I'm not sure why your begging me to keep quiet, but it's not helping." Phoenix said, getting a bit more serious.

"I'm begging you not to say that i can do ballet too!" Iron replied before covering his mouth forcefully.

"(Gasp) You do "Ballet" too?" Fluttershy asked.

"Yes he does. He took ballet class's with me and our old friends a while back. He would sometimes be manager because of our teacher and would usually make me practice harder then i already could, even when i was tired. That would have usually have lead me to having some sprains and bruise's." Phoenix explained as he showed his friends some of his injuries.

"Oh, ya poor thing. How did ya get'em, Sugarcube?" Applejack asked.

"... Some of them you really don't want to know, but i'll reveal something. This one here (Points at his chest) was when i smashed into a poll while doing a "Chaine" and hit the poll with my chest and had to be taken to the hospital for two weeks. I couldn't practice for a while thanks to Iron and i couldn't deal with Cybrans. I also missed a few holidays and one of my friend's birthdays." Phoenix explained, blushing a bit as Applejack rubbed his muscular chest.

Meanwhile, Loud Sound was up to no good again as he loosened the ropes of the lights above Phoenix, but not too much so it could fall on him later. Sound snickered as he finished his job and sneaked out of the hole he was in.

"... Why is Applejack rubbing him?" Spike asked Bass Rush.

"I don't know." He answered.

"I'm so sorry..." Applejack replied, hiding a smile from him as she continued rubbing him. "He's actually pretty fit fer a stallion his age. It might just be because of Cybrans trying to kill him that makes him so fit. Wait, stop thinkin' like that!"

"Wait, if you hit your chest on a poll doing something as dangerous as that, wouldn't that mean..." Twilight trailed off as the others knew what she meant.

"Yep. One of my lungs gave out for some time, but came back after about a week. It was hard to breath during that time, but i managed." Phoenix replied.

"And now it's time to bring out Team Soldiers of the Great Legion once again with the third song they're going to sing for tonight! This counts as half of the songs sang tonight by both groups!" The announcer announced as everypony in the audience began to cheer once again.

The group of friends went to the curtains and peeked out to see Loud sound and his group run onto the stage while waving to the crowd of ponies before them. Boombox was the only one out of his group to slip and fall on his face. Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Sharp Iron, FireBlaze, Spike, Blitz Minder and Twilight Sparkle were the only ones that let out a burst of laughter while the others just snickered or giggled a little.

"Come on BoomBox. Stop fooling around." Loud Sound told his old friend. "It's time to rock once more, guys!"

(Song Time 5! Song: Never going to give you up (Rick Astley).)

MasterMax played the music this time and ran back to his drums while the others set up their instruments. Sound flew into the air a few feet and bobbed his head up and down to the beat of the music. The audience followed along with Loud Sound while the judge's did nothing but watch.

Oooh.

"... We're no strangers to love... You know the rules and so do I. A full commitment's what I'm thinking of. You wouldn't get this from any other guy. I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling. Gotta make you understand. Never gonna give you up, Never gonna let you down, Never gonna run around and desert you. Never gonna make you cry, Never gonna say goodbye. Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you." Loud Sound started as two female Pegasi made their way onto the stage and danced in the air with him.

"Never going to give you up!" The audience chanted.

"Um... Okay, how in the world does Loud Sound have those two mares with him like that? They aren't even in his band." Fire said.

"I'm not sure, but there wasn't anything in the rules about not having them with him." Phoenix replied.

"They could just be fan-mares that want to join them for this song." Fluttershy suggested, getting nods from her friends.

"We've known each other for so long. Your heart's been aching, but you're too shy to say it (Say it). Inside, we both know what's been going on. We know the game and we're gonna play it. And if you ask me how I'm feeling. Don't tell me you're too blind to see. Never gonna give you up, Never gonna let you down, Never gonna run around and desert you. Never gonna make you cry, Never gonna say goodbye. Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you. Never gonna give you up, Never gonna let you down, Never gonna run around and desert you. Never gonna make you cry, Never gonna say goodbye. Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you.

"I must say that this is great." Celestia said as she clapped to the music.

"Great? I'd say that it's fantastic." Jack replied, clapping along too.

"Well i agree with my sister, but i think Team Ponyville can do better." Luna inquired hopefully.

"Ooh, give you up. Ooh, give you up. (Loud Sound: Never gonna give, never gonna give) Give you up. (Loud Sound: Never gonna give, never gonna give) Give you up." The mares and the guys sang together.

"We've known each other for so long. Your heart's been aching, but you're too shy to say it. Inside, we both know what's been going on. We know the game and we're gonna play it. I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling. Gotta make you understand. Never gonna give you up, Never gonna let you down, Never gonna run around and desert you. Never gonna make you cry, Never gonna say goodbye. Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you." Sound continued solo as he and the mares made a triangle with themselves.

"Never going to give you up!" The mares sang in unison.

"Never gonna give you up, Never gonna let you down, Never gonna run around and desert you. Never gonna make you cry, Never gonna say goodbye. Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you." MasterMax and the other guys continued singing together.

"Never going to give you up!" The audience chanted again.

"Never gonna give you up, Never gonna let you down, Never gonna run around and desert you. Never gonna make you cry, Never gonna say goodbye. Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you..." Sound finished by himself as the song ended and landed on the ground again.

(Song End)

"And yet another great performance by our long time group; Team Soldiers of the Great Legion! Song number six will commencing shortly." The announcer announced yet again as Loud Sound and his group left the stage.

"Hm. I think i will pay my faithful student and her friends a visit. Stay here." Celestia informed her sister before heading backstage.

With Phoenix and friends; everypony were just chatting and having some more snacks while Phoenix checked the disc player for their next song. Twilight and Blitz were talking to each other about Phoenix's past before noticing the Princess coming their way.

"(Gasp) Princess Celestia! It is good to see you." Twilight said as she and the others bowed to the Princess of the Day.

"Greetings, everypony. I have just come to check up on you, nothing more." Celestia replied.

"Jackie-su..." Iron spoke quietly as he became drowsy.

"... Sharp Iron?" Phoenix called as he came back from the disc player, not noticing that Celestia was there. "Oh. Hi Prince- GAH! Princess Celestia! (Bows) I didn't know you were here! I-I-I-I'm sorry!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha. It's okay Phoenix Burst, it is not a problem." Celestia replied reassuringly. "Have you picked out a song yet?"

"Yes, but it's a surprise, Princess." Phoenix answered before Iron grabbed his hind legs. "AH!"

Phoenix looked down at Iron and noticed his dog face present on him as he pouted. Iron looked pretty tired, but wouldn't show it.

"What's wrong, Iron?" Phoenix asked, curious of his long time "Friend".

"... You know, that's a very good question." Iron simply answered as a tear left his eye.

"... And if it is a very good question, then what is the very good answer?" Phoenix asked.

"... You know, that's also a very good question." Iron answered before falling off to sleep.

Everypony just stared at Phoenix while he tried getting Iron off his legs. Magic, Brute force, jokes, not even a wedge would get him off as he slept peacefully on Phoenix's legs. Princess Celestia finally came to help Phoenix get his friend off him, but also had a hard time removing him.

"What is he doing, Phoenix Burst?" Celestia asked.

"A little something he does sometimes when he's tired. He's about to do the last part right-" Phoenix shut himself up as Iron chomped on his bottom area hard. "GGGGGGGGGAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!"

Birds flew away as he screamed at the top of his lungs, damaging his vocals as he quieted down. The audience just sweat dropped and some cracked a smile while others laughed at his girlish scream. Luna ran backstage as fast as she could and saw Phoenix holding his crouch while the others held their ears tightly. Sharp Iron stirred in his sleep and woke back up with a yawn.

"Ah. What was that scream i heard?" Iron asked before noticing Phoenix on the ground. "... What happened to him?"

"You... Y-Y-Y-You bit me!" Phoenix cried as he got up slowly.

"Really? Score!" Iron replied happily.

"That's not something to be happy about, Iron! What if my voice cracks during the competition? I'll... I'll be the one that let us down..." Phoenix replied sadly.

"No Phoenix. You will not let your team down. You wouldn't let them down unless you gave in, and we know your not going to do that." Luna declared as she helped Phoenix stand.

"Truly. You will not let us down, Phoenix. Just believe in yourself and it will be okay." Twilight added.

"(Static for a few seconds, then nothing) ... Oh, Is this thing on? Testing, Testing. Hello? Oh, sorry about that, folks. New mic. And now, if everypony is ready, then let's bring out team Ponyville once more, shall we. Their third song for tonight and song number six s we know." The stallion announced in a new voice because of the new mic.

"Oh great. It's time for us to get out there again." Phoenix said, glad his voice is okay.

"And that means we have to get back to JackTHerbert. Good luck to you all." Princess Celestia replied before heading back outside with her sister.

"We will be rooting for you." Princess Luna added.

"Thank ya, Princess's." Applejack replied.

"Yeah. Thank you for your support." Rainbow Dash added. "Now who's going out there this time?"

"I kinda planned it out already. It's going to be Phoenix Burst, FireBlaze, Bass Rush, Blitz Minder and Spike." Iron answered instantly.

"Wait, why not us?" Rarity asked.

"Because i... Broke the disc with the song you girls were going to sing. And i planned it out during my sleep." Iron answered sheepishly as he held the broken disc in his hooves.

"NO! My disc..." Blitz cried as he took the broken disc and sobbed over it.

"Oh quit crying and get on stage, idiot." Iron told Blitz after smacking the pieces out of his hooves.

Blitz slowly looked up at Iron with red eyes and stood on only his hind legs. Everypony stood back as Blitz began to beat up Iron without mercy and Iron cried out in pain.

"... Should we split them apart?" Fluttershy asked.

"I would say no to this because Iron deserves ts, but we have to get on stage right now." Phoenix answered before walking up to the fighting stallions. "Alright guys, break it up. We have to get on stage now."

Blitz let Iron go and huffed at him before grabbing his drum sticks. Blitz slowly turned his head towards Phoenix and nodded before walking onstage. Phoenix left eye twitched before he and the other guys went with Blitz except Iron. Spike was the only one that didn't follow though.

"Come on, Spike. Your coming with us." Phoenix said.

"... W-W-Wait, me!? I can't sing." Spike replied nervously.

"Yes you can. You practiced with us these three weeks too and i know your just as ready as we are." Phoenix assured his baby Dragon friend.

"B-B-But-"

"It's okay Spike. We're just as nervous. Besides, don't you want to make your friends happy? Especially..." Phoenix trailed off as he glanced to Rarity.

Spike saw Rarity in Phoenix's eyes like they were a mirror and nodded eagerly.

"Alright. I'll do it!" Spike declared before running onstage with the other guys and Phoenix following close behind.

(Song Time 6! Song: What makes you Beautiful.)

Spike climbed up on Phoenix's back as they got to the mic while the others set up their instruments like before. Spike was still a little nervous, being in front of a audience like this, but remembering why he was there gave him a bit of courage.

"It's okay Spike. Your not alone here and your not the only one who's nervous. Just remember that this is for our friends." Phoenix told the nervous Purple Dragon.

Spike nodded in agreement and sat in a more comforting position, hurting Phoenix a bit with his claws.

"You're insecure, don't know what for, you're turning heads when you walk through the door, don't need make-up, to cover up, Being the way that you are is enough." Phoenix started to sing as the song began.

"Everypony else in the room can see it, everypony else but you." Spike continued as Phoenix handed him the mic.

Spike was actually doing pretty good so far with Phoenix and the guys since the whole audience was cheering for them, even the judges and the Mane Six (Minus Phoenix). MasterMax, Ratchetness, KingSparta and BoomBox also seemed to enjoy watching the baby Dragon sing while Loud Sound on the other hoof was not even listening, or even watching for that matter. Sound was stealing equipment and music from Team Ponyville while they weren't looking.

"Baby you light up my world like nopony else, the way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed, but when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell, you don't know, oh, oh, you don't know you're beautiful, if only you saw what I can see, you'd understand why i want you so desperately, right now i'm looking at you and i can't believe, you don't know, oh, oh, you don't know you're beautiful, oh, oh, that's what makes you beautiful!" The guys sang together as fireworks fired from the sides of the stage, made by Sharp Iron of course.

"You got that right." Iron replied to the readers and the author.

"QUIT BREAKING THE FORTH WALL!" The readers and author yelled.

Sharp Iron flinched and got himself back in the story.

"So c-come on. You got it wrong. To prove I'm right i put it in a song. I don't know why you're being shy, and turn away when i look into your eye-eye-eyes." Blitz sang as he got closer to the audience while bobbing his head.

"Everypony else in the room can see it, everypony else but you." Spike continued again before getting off of Phoenix's back. "I can do this now."

"Baby you light up my world like nopony else, the way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed, but when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell, you don't know, oh oh, you don't know you're beautiful, if only you saw what i can see, you'll understand why i want you so desperately, right now i'm looking at you and i can't believe, you don't know, oh oh, you don't know you're beautiful, Oh oh,"

"That's what makes you beautiful!" Phoenix finished for the guys as everypony cheered even louder then before.

"Na na na na na na na na na na Na na na na na na! Na na na na na na na na na na Na na na na na na! Na na na na na na na na na na Na na na na na na!" The guys minus Phoenix repeated in unison, but only three times instead of two.

"Baby you light up my world like nopony else, the way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed, but when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell..." Phoenix sang solo before looking towards the Mane six and winked at them with a small chuckle.

"Oh Phoenix..." Twilight said, hiding a small blush as she watched.

"You don't know, oh oh, you don't know you're beautiful!" Spike and Blitz sang together while high hoofing/clawing.

"Baby you light up my world like nopony else, the way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed, but when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell, you don't know, oh oh, you don't know you're beautiful (Spike: Oh)! If only you saw what I can see, you'll understand why I want you so desperately (Phoenix: Desperately), right now i'm looking at you and i can't believe, you don't know, oh oh, you don't know you're beautiful, oh oh, you don't know you're beautiful, oh oh,"

"That's what makes you beautiful!" Phoenix finished the song for the band before the Fireworks stopped firing.

(Song End.)

"Yet another great performance by Team Ponyville tonight, everypony! They might just in this competition if they keep up the good work like this! Let's give them a round of applause and a good cheer!" The stallion announced before the audience began to cheer once more while the guys of Team Ponyville ran backstage to the Mane Six. "Coming up, we have Team Soldiers of the Great Legion with their forth song tonight. The competition is almost over. Who do you think will win? We'll just have to find out once it's over, ponies!"

"Uh-oh, time for me to bolt." Loud Sound said quietly as he took one more song from the disc player, then ran off.

Apparently only Spike saw him run off from behind the box's and it rose his suspicion. Loud Sound ran back to his side of the area and installed he songs all at once while the other guys chatted about stuff. After the songs were finished installing, sound walked over to his friends casually.

"So guys, what song shall we do next?" MasterMax asked.

"I think i have an idea on what the audience may like. I just hope you four can do this song since we haven't practiced it once." Loud Sound answered casually.

"What do you mean by "Haven't practiced"? We've practiced all the songs we have." KingSparta stated before taking a sip of apple cider.

"Well... Let's just say that our "friends" let us borrow some songs from them, so i picked out one of those instead of ours." Sound explained as he showed them some of the songs in their disc player.

"Hmm... Well, alright then. Just got to wait for the stallion to call-"

"And now it's time to bring out Team Soldiers of the Great Legion for the forth time tonight!" The announcer interrupted Ratchet.

"Yeah that." BoomBox inquired with annoyance.

"I guess this means we have to go now. Let's rock this!" Loud Sound cried as he ran onstage again.

"Argh, hold on..." MasterMax groaned before grabbing his drum sticks and went onstage too along with Ratchet and BoomBox.

KingSparta quietly hummed in confusion to why Team Ponyville would just let them have some songs when they have a whole box full of songs they played in the past. Why he was acting strange would have to wait because it was time to sing.

(Song Time 7! Song: Firework (Katy Perry).)

The audience chanted the words "Soldiers of the Great Legion" over and over as the guys made their way to the instruments onstage. Loud Sound waved back to the crowd with a cheeky grin while JackTHerbert waved back to his friends.

"I know your going to do great, guys. give it your all." Jack cheered for his friends.

Sound nodded back to Jack and so did the others. Boom started the music and instantly all of Team Ponyville's ears flickered in surprise.

"Hey, that's our song!" Blitz cried.

"They stole our song!" Rainbow Dash added.

"But how? Wasn't they chatting with each other when we last saw them?" Twilight asked.

"I saw Loud sound sneaking around here, but i didn't know why he was here." Spike answered.

"You did!? Maybe he stole them!" Blitz angrily yelled, only to have Phoenix cover his mouth.

"Now Blitz, we don't know that for a fact yet, but it is a possibility. We'll have to keep an eye on him." Phoenix explained before letting go of Blitz's mouth.

"Right..."

Back on stage, Loud Sound was still waving like a show-off to the audience while they cheered for him and his group. Sound noticed from the corner of his eye Phoenix staring straight at him with a suspicious look on him, almost as if staring into his soul. Loud Sound knew he was on to him, but didn't care that much.

"Do you ever feel like a plastic bag, Drifting through the wind, wanting to start again? Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin, Like a house of cards, one blow from caving in? Do you ever feel already buried deep six feet under? Screams but no one seems to hear a thing, Do you know that there's still a chance for you, 'Cause there's a spark in you? You just gotta ignite the light and let it shine. Just own the night like the 4th of July, 'Cause, baby, you're a firework! Come on, show 'em what you're worth! Make 'em go, "Aah, aah, aah" (Audience: Aah, aah, aah), As you shoot across the sky-y-y. Baby, you're a firework! Come on, let your colours burst! Make 'em go, "Aah, aah, aah" (Audience: Aah, aah, aah). You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe!" Loud Sound sang as the crowd of ponies chanted the word "aah" with him.

Boombox used his magic to create Fireworks from the side of the stage with a grin on his muzzle while Phoenix and the others gasped.

"They're using our song and doing what we did before! That's just low!" Fire angrily shouted, but had to do it quietly.

"Ah know! Ah'm startin' ta think that Sound might'a been the culprit." Applejack replied.

"We'll just have to ask him once this is over, Applejack." Phoenix pointed out, having the same thing in mind.

"You don't have to feel like a wasted space, You're original, cannot be replaced. If you only knew what the future holds, After a hurricane comes a rainbow. Maybe a reason why all the doors are closed, so you could open one that leads you to the perfect road. Like a lightning bolt, your heart will glow, and when it's time you'll know. You just gotta ignite the light and let it shine. Just own the night like the 4th of July. 'Cause, baby, you're a firework! Come on, show 'em what you're worth! Make 'em go, "Aah, aah, aah" (Boom and the others: Aah, aah, aah), as you shoot across the sky-y-y. Baby, you're a firework! Come on, let your colors burst! Make 'em go, "Aah, aah, aah" (Audience: Aah, aah, aah). You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe!" Loud Sound continued as the audience chanted their names over and over.

"Darn! And there goes that song, girls." Bass said before walking over to the disc player and checked it carefully, but only saw the songs they already sang. "What!? All of the songs we haven't sang yet have been taken!"

"YOUR JOKING, RIGHT!?" Phoenix asked in pure shock.

"COME OVER HERE AND CHECK IT OUT FOR YOURSELF!" Bass replied as he moved out of the way for the others.

Everypony gasped as they saw the near empty case and Blitz smashed the ground out of anger.

"THAT THIEF!" Blitz cried.

"I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN!" Iron added.

"We have to get them back somehow." Pinkie pointed out as her hair became thin like string and her fur became a little more pale. "Why would they steal from us? We didn't do anything to them."

"That's right, Pinkie. We didn't do a thing to them and we're going to have to talk to them about this after they get off the stage. This has to be sorted out fast or else we might be disqualified." Phoenix replied.

"Well i think we should go over to their side and take our songs back." Fire suggested as he closed the case.

"No Fire. We don't want to start any trouble with them. This is already a battle as it is, so let's not make it worse." Phoenix replied.

"Well talking won't get us very far, Phoenix. We should take action too if they're going to do so." Rainbow Dash pointed out as she lifted herself off the ground. "Come on FireBlaze. Let get some music back."

"Right behind ya." Fire replied as he ran off with Rainbow.

"No! Wait, you two!" Twilight and Phoenix called in unison, but the Pegasi didn't return.

Phoenix shook his head in dismay and turned to the others, but noticed that Pinkie Pie was also missing. Blitz noticed his look of confusion and looked to his right, seeing that Pinkie was gone.

"Oh Pinkie..." Blitz groaned with a facehoof.

"Boom, boom, boom. Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon. It's always been inside of you, you, you. And now it's time to let it through-ough-ough. 'Cause, baby, you're a firework! Come on, show 'em what you're worth! Make 'em go, "Aah, aah, aah" (Boom and the others: Aah, aah, aah), As you shoot across the sky-y-y! Baby, you're a firework! Come on, let your colors burst! Make 'em go, "Aah, aah, aah" (Audience: Aah, aah, aah)! You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe!" Loud Sound and the others continued to sing as the Fireworks spiraled through the air in a really fast motion.

"Boom, boom, boom (Celestia and Jack: Boom, boom, boom)! Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon (Luna and Jack: Moon, moon, moon) Boom, boom, boom (Celestia and Jack: Boom, boom, boom)! Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon (Luna and Jack: Moon, moon, moon)!" Loud Sound and everypony sang together to finish the song, even the announcer.

(Song End.)

"YYYYEEAAA! Another fantastic song sang by Team Soldiers of the Great Legion and and their forth song, meaning that they have one last song for us this spectacular night! Give a big round of applause for the soldiers of the Great Legion!" The stallion announced before the audience cheered for the team again. "and now we also have Team Ponyville's forth song for tonight. Our newcomers are really putting up quite the fight for the top because of their hard work and determination is keeping them strong. Let's see if they have what it takes to beat Team Soldiers of the Great Legion."

Just as Team Soldiers of the Great Legion left the stage, they were greeted with the Ponyville Team, who didn't look that happy to see them.

"Well, well, well. If it isn't Team Ponyville. How is our little mates doing this fine day?" Sound asked, clearly joking with them.

"It's night, Loud Sound." Rarity replied.

"... It's day."

"... It's night."

"... It's day."

"Night."

"Day."

"Night."

"Day."

Everypony just groaned in annoyance as the two continued to argue about something non-related to what the situation is really about and Phoenix covered both of their mouths.

"Enough of this, you two. We have something we need to discuss here." Phoenix said.

"Oh really? What about?" MasterMax asked.

"It's about our missing music. We're convinced that-"

"They may have just lost it somewhere while we were eating." Loud Sound interrupted as he pulled away from Phoenix's hoof.

"That's not true! We couldn't have just lost them if you were-"

"Were discussing stuff about music and what not. We could help you-"

"Don't give us that, Loud Sound! We know you did it." Blitz interrupted after Sound did, but more angry then before. "You give me back my songs now!"

"I'd give them back if i had them, but sadly they aren't in our possession." Loud Sound lied with a grin.

"Sound, are you telling the truth man? Because we're here to have a nice, fair competition. Not to cheat so we can beat them." Ratchet said.

"Of course i'm not lying, Ratchet. Being the long time friends that we are, you know i wouldn't lie to you." Sound replied.

"You can't be serious! You were playing one of our songs just now!" Twilight yelled at Sound.

"Now let's not get wild here. We want this to be as peaceful and fair as we can make it. Loud Sound told us you gave us some songs we could play, even though we have about two full box's full of songs. Just-"

"KingSparta, do you not know the words that are coming out of your mouth right now? They are our opponents. We should be focusing on beating them right now, not helping them win." Loud Sound interrupted as he got in between him and Phoenix.

"No Sound. He's right. We don't need to win every single concert there is. You win some, you lose some. That's life." Ratchet intervened.

"Exactly. We just want to be fair and win with everything we have, just like you guys. We don't care if we lose, as long as we have fun doing so." Phoenix replied.

"Not me. I'm in it to win it." Iron butted in with a sucker in his mouth.

Team Soldiers of the Great Legion nodded to Phoenix and started to walk off to collect the songs Sound took, until he landed in their way from the air and raised his wings at them.

(Play 15 Years Ago (Ace Combat 5) here.)

"I will not let you do that, guys. This is to important to risk here." Loud Sound said.

"Why is it, Sound?" Fluttershy asked.

"Like i need to answer to you, filly." Sound insulted her in return, getting her to sniff a little.

"Hey! You don't have to go and make her cry, man." MasterMax replied as he and Ratchet got into a battle position.

"Oh, so my own friends are going to fight me?" Loud Sound asked, grinning at them.

"No Sound. No fighting. This is supposed to be a good, normal concert. We should just give back their music and move aside so they can continue without any of this. Where is the friend we've known since preschool, Loud Sound...? Huh? Where is the stallion that would take us out for smoothies when the five of us were down?... WHERE IS HE!?" BoomBox asked, forming tears in his eyes.

Loud Sound looked down at his hooves and stayed silent. Loud Sound began to picture some of the old times he had with his friends till the time he left Smoke Cloud in the burning building and shook his head slowly before turning away and sobbed quietly. After a minute, Phoenix walked up to him and put a hoof on his back.

"Loud Sound... We know you want to win really badly, but you have to remember that winning isn't everything if you can't win fair and square and with your friends by your side. Your not only, Sound. Your friends are always going to stick by you, no matter what. Isn't playing with your friends more important then winning? Shouldn't your friends and trying your very best be more important and special then feeling like a winner? Beating you opponent? I know i wouldn't be here now if it wasn't for my friends. Without all of them, winning would have been all i would be thinking about. Because of their support and our time practicing together as a team, we're here now, trying to win together, or at least try while having fun. Shouldn't you feel that way about your friends, Loud Sound?" Phoenix explained as he thought about the days of practicing he did with his friends and patted Sound's back. "Loud Sound... If it is okay with you... I want to be your friend too. You seem to be really down, and you need a friend to pick you right back up again, so let me be that friend."

Loud Sound looked at Phoenix's hoof after listening to his "wise" speech and grabbed it with his own hoof, letting Phoenix help him off the ground. Everypony from both Teams and even the judges were watching this and cheered for them when the Unicorn and Pegasus shook hooves. Even the audience and the announcer heard Phoenix's wonderful speech and applauded for them.

"... Thanks man. I really needed that." Sound said before messing with Phoenix's mane. "Let me go get your songs back right now. Come on boys. I might need your help... And... I'm really sorry about everything. what i did and what i said was wrong and i can't really believe it took this long to see it."

Team soldiers of the Great Legion shared a group hug for old times sake before leaving to get the missing songs back while the Audience awed to them. Princess Celestia walked next to Phoenix and he flinched upon noticing her here before bowing.

"I-I-I'm so sorry, Princess! I didn't know you were there again!" Phoenix cried nervously.

"I know that, Phoenix. What you did for Loud Sound was quite the sight if i might say. It's almost as if your not only the Element of Courage, but something else too. Could it be something you inherit from your mother?" Celestia asked.

"... I'm not too sure. My mother was one of the nicest mares i've ever be proud to call my mother, but during my time with my friends, i guess... I've just been learning more and more about friendship from them. Almost like Twilight. Just learning from friends, making new friends, and just plain having fun." Phoenix answered with his fore hooves on the back of his head in a "Sora" (Kingdom Hearts) like manner with the grin to match. "I guess... My friends and family taught me to be the pony i am today, and if that's so... Then thank you everypony."

"Aww... That is such a sweet thing to say, Phoenix. And if your ready, then it's time to get on stage, because it's time for your forth song of the night!" The announcer announced suddenly.

"WHAT!? BUT LOUD SOUND HASN'T COME BACK WITH OUR SONGS YET!" Blitz cried.

"Well we'll give you five minutes to hurry up before you get... Disqualified." The announcer replied.

"Five minutes!? Disqualified!? AH! This can't happen!" Pinkie screamed as she ran around in circles along with Bass and Iron.

Just then, Loud sound and his friends came running back with the songs he took, but before he could say anything about it, the lights above Celestia fell. Phoenix quickly reacted and pushed the Princess out of harms way before the light fell on him, seemingly crushing him.

"PHOENIX!" Everypony cried as they ran to his aid.

Thankfully he was alive, but barely moving. He was out cold. Celestia, Luna and Twilight lifted the broken lights off of Phoenix and checked his body carefully.

"Now how did that happen?!" Iron asked, holding the urge to laugh, not even noticing the glares he was getting from Rainbow Dash, FireBlaze, Applejack, Blitz Minder and Rarity.

"Um... I think i know the answer to that." Sound said.

"You did this!? HOW COULD YOU!? YOU COULD HAVE KILLED THE PRINCESS!" Twilight yelled angrily at Loud Sound.

"I-I know. I was only trying to cause a distraction so i could sabotage the speakers, but when Phoenix helped me realize what i was doing was wrong, i was going to fix it, but it's too late now..." Sound sorrowfully replied. "I'm so, so, so, so, so-"

"No Loud Sound. You actually tried to commit murder on an innocent pony and that is not forgivable. I was nearly killed because of your little stunt. I hereby-"

"WAIT!" Phoenix cried in interruption, surprising everypony. "It's okay... I'm okay... Don't do anything to him... Until this concert is over..."

"But Phoenix..."

"This competition... Is almost over... and i want us to finish it normally. We've come so far to just let an accident stand in our way. We've practiced so hard for this... So please Princess... Let us finish this concert before you do anything to him for his crime." Phoenix explained as his injuries slowly healed.

"... Alright. Only because i owe you for saving my life. You may continue." Celestia replied before heading back outside. "Loud Sound, just know that i will be keeping an eye on you from now on. I will be back to have a little talk with you after this is over."

Luna followed close behind, but not without rubbing Phoenix's back one more time before leaving. MasterMax gave the disc's back to Blitz while Sound stared at the ground in shame, regretting what he did.

"... Phoenix... Why would you spare me like that? I nearly killed you." Sound said somberly.

"... Because that's what friends are for... and you are my friend, Loud Sound. You would have done the same for me, right?" Phoenix replied as Sharp Iron fell backwards because Pinkie gave him a "Pony-in-the-box" and it opened in his face.

"... You got that right." Loud Sound agreed before he and Phoenix shook hooves. "Now it's your turn to sing, Ponyville. Who's going on stage?"

"Well... I think the girls should go on again. We had two turns to sing for the audience and we're all in this together, so it's only fair to let them on again." Fire answered.

"What's that supposed to mean, FireBlaze?!" Rainbow cried as Fire flinched in surprise.

"Well i..."

"I have the song ready for whoever is going out there." Blitz interrupted Fire with a raised hoof.

"Team Ponyville, we're still waiting." The announcer reminded them in a annoyed tone.

"Oh, right. I guess we should go then. Wish us luck, guys." Twilight told the males as she and the other mares went onstage.

"We will, girls. Good Luck." Phoenix replied.

(Song Time 8! Song: Follow Me (Team Rose's theme from Sonic Heroes).)

The Mane six ran onstage and waved to the audience as the cheered for them and Princess Celestia waved back to her student. Phoenix was the first to peek out from the curtains and wave to the girls too while Twilight was the only one that saw him. She waved back to him and so did Pinkie Pie before Blitz played the song for them.

"It's ready." Blitz cried.

Six microphones popped out in front of the Mane Six and they walked up to them. The peaceful music made everypony think about things in the past, picturing the adventures she's had with her friends and the funny things that's happened to them, times of danger and even times that didn't even make sense.

"(Sigh) Such sweet memories..." Twilight thought before she closed her eyes and made her horn glow in a bright violet color, picking up the mic with her magic. "Anywhere you wanna go... Anything you need to know! All the best in life... I wanna get it for you! Lately I just feel so fine! I imagine that you're mine! In my world you're gold... I only wanna protect you! And whatever I want, I get... I want a shooting star! Whatever I need, I have... When I'm with you!"

"Follow me inside! Outside! Through the stratosphere! (With Rainbow Dash) The moon is shining for you... It knows that I adore you! Suddenly all that sadness will just slip away... (With Applejack) And you will see what I mean...If you just follow me in my dreams!" Rarity, Applejack and Rainbow Dash sang together as the audience cheered for them yet again.

Twilight blushed as she thought about her and Phoenix's kiss and recovered from her trance when she heard Phoenix cheering for them. FireBlaze then pulled Phoenix away and looked through the curtain, waving to Rainbow Dash. Blitz pulled him back and peeked through next before Iron pulled him back, then Bass, then Phoenix. Applejack giggled as the guys fought over the curtain and Iron crying like a baby.

"(Oh you guys...) I was searching everywhere... Suddenly I saw you there! And my love arrived... Just in the nick of time! Life floats on a movie screen! You're the star of my scene! You live on the edge of a knife... Larger than life!" Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie sang together. "Whatever I want, I get... No one could take your place! Whatever I need, I have... When I see your face!"

Loud Sound and his group cheered for the girls as they sang and just as Sound was about to turn and walk away to grab a snack, he caught sight of Smoke Cloud in the audience, doing nothing but listening to the girls sing. The memory of the fire flashed in his mind and he ran away. Ratchet felt a sudden blow of air past him and looked back to see Loud Sound running away before chasing after him, KingSparta following behind him.

"Follow me inside! Outside! Through the stratosphere! The moon is shining for you... I knows that I adore you! Suddenly all that sadness will just slip away... And you will see what I mean... If you just follow me in my dreams!" Rainbow Dash and Applejack sang together while bobbing their heads in unison. "La la la la la la la... La la la la la la la la la!"

"Follow me inside! Outside! Through the stratosphere! The moon is shining for you... It knows that I adore you! Suddenly all that sadness will just slip away... And you will see what I mean... If you just follow me in my dreams!" The Mane Six finished together while raising their hooves in the air.

(Song End.)

"That's my student!" Celestia cried joyfully.

Luna and Jack just chuckled in response to Celestia's cheer and clapped to the mares onstage with the audience. Phoenix, Blitz, Fire and Bass also cheered for the girls while Iron continued to cry and Boom was trying to help him feel better.

"Fantastic! That was Team Ponyville's forth song and now they only have one more song to present to us before we decide who's the winners! we will be bringing out-"

"Wait!" Celestia cried in interruption with a raised hoof. "Because of a certain "Event" that happened backstage, i have decided to let Team Ponyville to sing one more song for us right now before Team Soldiers of the Great Legion perform for the last time."

"What!? The Mane six cried, shocked by Celesia's decision.

"WHAT!?" The guys cried too, just as shocked.

"Well... If it is okay with you, then let's add one more song to Ponyville's count!" The announcer said, agreeing to the Princess's terms.

"Girls... Over here!" Phoenix quietly called the Mane Six over to him.

The six mares ran off the stage and Phoenix moved back to let the girls though. Both Teams were shock to hear that the mares had to sing again, but Sharp Iron fell asleep on Boom, making him the only one to not hear the news.

"They can't be serious! We already sang something for them." Rainbow Dash said, shaking her head in dismay.

"Is this because of what Loud Sound did?" Pinkie Pie asked.

"That would be a guess, or it could be because of something else." Bass answered.

"Hey, speaking of Loud sound; Where is he?" Boom asked as he looked around for his boss.

"I don't know but we better get a song ready so we don't keep the audience waiting again." Fire stated as he took out the disc with the song the girls just sang. "Who's going on this time?"

"How about a solo song? We've had group songs all night, so somepony should sing all by themselves this time." Spike suggested. "But who will do it?"

"... I will." Phoenix replied, stepping forward to gesture himself. "I'll do this one alone for our team. Just wish me luck."

"You got it then. Let me get the song ready for you." Blitz replied before running over to the disc player and searched for a song.

Phoenix nodded to Blitz and began to walk onstage until Twilight stopped him.

"Wait, are you sure you want to do this? We could go out there again if you don't feel like it." She said.

"... Don't worry, Twilly. I'm ready for anything, just wish me luck and i'll have this done in a snap." Phoenix cockily replied before turning away from her to walk onstage again. "This is for you... Twilight Sparkle... Rarity... Applejack... Pinkie Pie... Fluttershy... Rainbow Dash... FireBlaze... Bass Rush... Sharp Iron... Blitz Minder... Spike... BoomBox... MasterMax... Ratchetness... KingSparta... Loud Sound... Princess Celestia... Princess Luna... For my Friends!"

And with that, Phoenix ran onstage by himself. Both Teams went to the curtains and pulled it up so they could all see while Blitz inserted the song for Phoenix and gave him the heads up. Phoenix nodded to Blitz again and waved to the audience.

"... Did Phoenix just call you "Twilly"?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"... Yes he did... I'm just not sure why." Twilight answered, half lying to her friends.

(Song Time 9! Song: Little Wonders (Rob Thomas).)

"Well. It seems that only one member of Team Ponyville is going to sing for us now. I wonder how he does. Let's give a round of applause for our very own Phoenix Burst!" The announcer said as he and everypony else cheered for Phoenix.

"Phoenix is going to sing all by thyself? Tis' will be something in deed." Nightmare Moon said in the Canterlot voice.

"I agree, Nightmare." Luna replied.

Phoenix nervously used his magic to carry the mic towards him and gulped in fright, but calmed down when Applejack called out to him, telling him to stay focused and don't be afraid. Phoenix nodded slowly to her and looked back at the audience with a determined expression.

"She's right. Don't be afraid. It's all going to be okay." Phoenix told himself before raising the mic up to him as the music played. "Let it go... Let it roll right off your shoulder, Don't you know... The hardest part is over, Let it in... Let your clarity define you in the end. We will only just remember how it feels. Our lives are made in these small hours, these little wonders, these twists and turns of fate. Time falls away, but these small hours, these small hours still remain."

Phoenix glanced at the Mane Six and winked to them.

"Let it slide... Let your troubles fall behind you, let it shine. Until you feel it all around you, and i don't mind if it's me you need to turn to we'll get by, it's the heart that really matters in the end. Our lives are made in these small hours. These little wonders, these twists and turns of fate. Time falls away, but these small hours, these small hours still remain. All of my regret, will wash away some how, but i can not forget the way i feel right now." Phoenix continued singing while the audience chanted his name.

Phoenix made eight rose's appear with his magic and threw them one by one at Twilight, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, then waved to them while waging his tail like a dog.

"In these small hours, these little wonders, These twists and turns of fate. These twists and turns of fate! Time falls away but these small hours, these small hours, still remain, Still remain! These little wonders, these twists & turns of fate! Time falls away, but these small hours. These little wonders still remain..." Phoenix finished with a back flip and bowed to the audience and the judge's.

(Song End.)

"And that was our lone singer from Team Ponyville for you! Let's give him another round of applause before he leaves the stage!" The announcer told the audience as the already began to cheer for Phoenix before he ran off the stage. "And now... For the final song perform by Team Soldiers of the Great Legion starts in a few minutes! How will they finish this concert for us? We'll just have to wait and listen."

"Alright. That wasn't so bad." Phoenix said as he got back to his friends and sighed in relief. "Did Loud Sound return? Because it will be time for you to do your final song very soon."

"No we haven't. Ratchetness and KingSparta are also gone. They must have went to find Sound already." MasterMax suggested.

And was when the three mentioned stallions returned from wherever they went. Loud Sound looked to be his normal self and ready to finish this concert while Ratchet explained to the others (not counting Team Ponyville) what happened.

"I'm sorry i left. something was on my mind and... I had to leave for a bit." Loud Sound told Team Ponyville.

"Well whatever it was is cleared now, right?" Phoenix asked, hoping Sound was sure he was fine.

"Yeah. I've answered what i needed to know, so it's all taken care of." Sound answered surely. "Come on guys! We better get ready for our final song now."

Loud Sound galloped to the other part of the backstage area with the others following. Boombox quickly went over to the disc player and searched the box for their last song while the others pulled out their instruments.

"This is it, Team. After this and team Ponyville's final song, the winners will be decided. Let's give it everything we've got. Everything we've practiced must go into this final performance." Loud Sound announced to his group.

"Right!"

"This is it, everypony. After Team Soldiers of the Great Legion's last song and our last song, the winners will be decided. We have to give our final performance everything we've got. Everything we've practiced for must be put into this final song." Phoenix announced to his group.

"All of our hard work"

"Must be used in this"

"If we are"

"(In unison) To win!" Phoenix and Sound told their teams, not noticing that they were talking to their teams at the same time.

All members of both Teams agreed with Phoenix Burst and Loud Sound and both stallions bowed in response to them. Team Ponyville gathered together while Team Soldiers of the Great Legion prepared for their final song. Team Ponyville put a hoof/claw on top of another and when all members hooves/claws were together, everypony said the team cheer.

One for all and all for one, Friends forever and forevermore!

Loud Sound heard the cheer and cracked a smile, a smile... That he hadn't felt in a while. What happened to the times when he and his friends would say stuff like that? What happened to the times when he would enjoy friendly gatherings and hang-outs like when he and his team were just colts? He didn't know, but he silently swore that he would do everything in him to bring that back, no matter what. BoomBox saw Loud Sound observing Team Ponyville and walked up to him carefully to not alarm him.

"Hey buddy, what'cha doin'?" Boom asked.

"... I don't know... Something about them, being together like that... BoomBox, i swear that i will redeem myself in any ways that i can and bring back the old, fun times we had as friends, Even during the times before we became Team Soldiers of the Great Legion. All the things i did tonight... Was not me and i need to redeem myself for doing such things, especially to you and the others." Sound explained before turning away from the other team.

"Yeah but-"

"No buts, Boom. What i break, i must fix. What i dropped, i must pick up again. Simple as that." Sound abruptly stopped Boom as he walked over to his suitcase. "Now come on. It's going to be time to do our final song any minute no-"

"And now, the moment we've all been waiting for! If you all know what time it is, then allow us to bring out Team Soldiers of the Great Legion for their last song for tonight!" The announcer interrupted sound before the audience chanted "Team Soldiers of the Great Legion".

"... Well... how convenient. Come on guys, it's time to rock now." Sound told his team before closing his suitcase and stood up.

The guys got up too and went with Loud Sound to the stage for their final performance, but before they could leave, Phoenix Burst called them for something, getting their attention.

"Hey! Good luck out there! Make sure to do your very best and have fun like a team!" Phoenix told them.

Team Soldiers of the Great Legion nodded to Phoenix before heading onstage. Like the other four times; Loud Sound waved to the audience as they chanted their names and BoomBox or MasterMax would mess something up before they could perform. This time however, nothing got messed up.

(Song Time 10! Song: Roar (Treat).)

Loud Sound looked to his right and saw Team Ponyville, peeking through the curtains again with Phoenix, Rarity, Bass Rush and Pinkie Pie waving to them. Sharp Iron had a bump on his head from a certain Cyan Pegasus, smacking him across the head because of something he wasn't supposed to say. Loud Sound, Ratchetness and KingSparta waved back and Sound put on a game face before taking flight again.

"Boom, play the music." Sound told the male Unicorn.

"Already covered." Boom replied as the music began to play.

"Give it all you've got, guys!" Blitz cried in encouragement.

"Your gonna do great!" Bass added just as encouraging.

"Just remember that your in this together, not alone! All of you are winners in the end! Give everypony everything you've got! Everything you've practiced to this very moment!" Phoenix also added.

"Oh we will, Phoenix Burst. For my Team, i will give the best of me in this song, right here, right now." Loud Sound said in his head before closing his eyes slowly. "I keep my eyes to the sky, ears to the ground. Gotta learn to fly at the speed of sound. If this is all I have I'm not gonna lose it, and when the siren screams I go for broke. (With Ratchetness) Ready to roar, ready or not, Ready to give it all I've got! Gotta live to win, get up, get out, get even! Ready to roar, ready or not, Ready to give it one more shot! Let the game begin, need something to believe in. Ready to roar!"

"Ready to Roar!" The audience chanted.

Everypony waved to the singers while the lights dimmed a little, making the area a little darker. Party items like balloons, streamers and party games and five cake's slowly began to glow in a Neon Green, Neon Red and Neon Blue colors. This quickly put a wide smile on Pinkie's face, but she had to remain calm for now and not go crazy for partying.

"I guess I'm living too fast to paint the town red. I'll be having a blast, waking the dead! It's like a mystery, to some kind of frightening. To rev it up like a Usain Bolt of lightning! (With MasterMax) Ready to roar, ready or not, Ready to give it all I've got. Gotta live to win, get up, get out, get even! Ready to roar, ready or not, Ready to give it one more shot! Let the game begin, need something to believe in. Ready to roar!" Loud Sound and MasterMax sang together as fake flames blew from behind the group, surprising everypony. "Ready to roar, ready or not, Ready to give it all I've got! Gotta live to win, get up, get out, get even. Ready to roar, ready or not, Ready to give it one more shot! Let the game begin, need something to believe in. Ready to roar!"

"Ready to roar!" Loud Sound finished after landing with a crash. "Ready to roar!"

"WOW! And that there is Team Soldiers of the Great Legion's final song for tonight, everypony! I think they did a fantastic job there and i cannot wait to see who wins this competition after Team Ponyville. Let's also give them hope that they might win because who knows which Team will come out victorious." The announcer announced while the audience gave a big cheer for Team Soldiers of the Great Legion and the Team ran backstage again. "Team Ponyville's last song will be in just a minute, so stay tuned for the final song."

Both Team met up with each other again when Team Soldiers of the Great Legion came back and Team Ponyville congratulated them. Loud Sound thanked them and shook Phoenix's hoof before wishing them good luck along with BoomBox, Ratchetness, MasterMax and KingSparta. The judge's came backstage to also wish Team Ponyville good luck and Princess Celestia pulled a prank on Phoenix just because he kept getting surprised when she appears. Everypony except Phoenix got a few good laughs from the prank and Phoenix told her "Okay Princess, you wanna play like that? We'll play like that." before jumping on her and giving her a tickle treat. Everypony jumped in the fun and played around like children for about three minutes before the announcer called Team Ponyville onto the stage.

"Team Ponyville, we are ready for your final song now. Please come on stage now and finish this concert with your final song."

"I guess it's time." Rarity said a little nervously.

"Yeah... We will be wishing you all luck out there. We hope to see that you give this everything you've got. Everything you've practiced for now has to be put into this last performance." Celestia told the Team.

"Make us all proud." Luna added.

"We will, Princess's. Nothing is gonna stop us after all the practicing we've done and all the fun we've had singing to this very moment. There is no way we can mess up now." Twilight replied for the Team.

"Too true." Fire added.

"Are we ready for this or what?" Phoenix asked with a hoof sticking out.

All of Team Ponyville put a hoof in the pile again and counted down to one before raising their hooves in the air with the cheer once more, showing their Team Spirit.

One for all and all for one, Friends forever and forevermore!

"And we wish you good luck too, Ponyville." BoomBox told the group of friends.

"Right. Thanks, you guys. All of this support is really going to help us." Phoenix replied.

"Good. We better get back out there before everypony gets... You know. See you all on stage." JackTHerbert said before he, Celestia and Luna went back to their seats.

After the judge's went away, Team Ponyville stared at the audience they were gonna have to perform to with a mix of Excitement, Nervousness and Awe. Phoenix slowly walked forward to get onstage before the others followed him.

"Here we go..." Phoenix spoke to himself as they got onstage.

(Song Time 11! Song: We're gonna have a party tonight (My Little Cupid and Zei).)

"Here they are, everypony! Team Ponyville has taken the stage for their final song! Let's give them a big round of applause for they may need it right now!" The announcer announced before the audience applaud for the Team.

Blitz nervously played the music and joined the others onstage with headphones with mic's on them each. Everypony was just really nervous right now, not knowing what to do or how to start the song. It seemed like they were performing in front of a super large, powerful demon that was trying to destroy the land.

"... Uh, hello? Is something wrong?" The announcer asked.

Phoenix blinked in surprise and shook his head, dismissing whatever he was thinking about. This was really biting them, but somepony had to start. With nopony else doing anything, Phoenix took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

"(This is it. This is our last song and we can't mess up.) Tonight... Is the night. The night of partyin'. The ponies... The decorations... The perfect moment... To me this is the perfect time to say a little something. Show the whole world what i feel... Tonight..." Phoenix began to sing for the Team.

"Tonight is the night of a celebration, a recognition. I wanna tell you what i mean to you..." Twilight continued.

"And the only way to show you is with this night... This party...!"

"Yeah yeah yeah yeah, with you and i we're gonna have a time of our lives... And make the best of the night... yeah we're gonna have a party tonight! Yeah yeah yeah yeah, we're gonna have a party toni-i-ight! Under the Star and Moonl-i-ight! Tonight is a night of celebration, a recognition, and we couldn't have it without you-ou-ou-ou!" The whole Team sang together as everything around them began to glow brightly.

"The many treat's. the games. The sweets. always last a life time... As long as we are together... Partying under the moonlight!" Pinkie sang with two candy bars in her ears, cake on her head and a apple punch in her left hoof.

"And i couldn't enjoy it alone-hone. Tonight is a night where we stick together, through thick and thin. Big or small. Wide or narrow. Near or far..." Rarity sang next.

"Yeah yeah yeah yeah we're gonna have a party tonight! Yeah yeah yeah yeah we're gonna have a party toni-i-ight! Under the Star and Moonl-i-ight! (Male singers: Oh Uohoh-u-oh. Ohuohwoh-oh) Tonight is a night of celebration, a recognition, and we couldn't have it without you-ou-ou-ou!" The Mane Six sang together as the audience joined them and the guys did the vocals.

"Yeah yeah yeah yeah we're gonna have a party tonight!"

"The day is done and night is here (Phoenix: Uoh-uohoh). The daylight sky is gone and now it's time for the night! The singing birds... The chattering squirrels. Now gone to rest up for the next day. Giving us the time to share the night for party of our lives!" Fluttershy sang as a few birds flew past her.

"Ignoring the winter breeze, just saying no. Letting all the trouble pass so we don't have to worry again... Just gotta make you understand what i meeeeeaaaannn." Blitz sang next before some cake was thrown at him, bu missed.

By now, everything in the area was glowing in different neon colors and different sweets filled the tables. Games also appeared in different place's and also many streamers across each pole. Everypony was dancing and having a party while Team Ponyville sang, but nopony could be more happier then Princess Luna. Tonight was like a new holiday for everypony and she loved it because it was going to be celebrated at night.

"Yeah yeah yeah yeah we're gonna have a party tonight! Yeah yeah yeah yeah we're gonna have a party toni-i-ight! Under the Star and Moonl-i-ight! (Female singers: Oh Uohoh-u-oh. Ohuohwoh-oh) Tonight is a night of celebration, a recognition, and we couldn't have it without you-ou-ou-ou!" The guys sang while the girls did the vocals this time.

"Yeah yeah yeah yeah we're gonna have a party tonight!" Team Soldiers of the Great Legion sang with the audience and the announcer.

"Yeah yeah we're gonna have a party tonight! Yeah yeah yeah yeah! Yea-yea yea-yea-yea yea yea yeah! We're gonna have a party tonight!" The girls sang together before Pinkie Pie stepped on a slice of cake.

"Oopsie! Silly me, ha ha. We're gonna have a party tonight!"

Phoenix and Twilight used their magic to make a swirl of Stardust above them. The Stardust became little snow flakes, falling down on the audience slowly as if it was snowing. Pinkie tried tasting one, but Applejack quickly pulled her away. Phoenix tapped Applejack's shoulder and when she turned to him, he showed her that the snow flakes were like bubbles and blew one to her. Pinkie caught one in her hooves and looked at it. It didn't pop, but it did flatten a bit.

"Oh oh... I wanna tell you... Show you... What this night is for... I wanna give you my point of view, but without the perfect choice, i can't show you what i dream of (FireBlaze: Whooah. A-oh Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa...). Maybe... If there is a chance... I could give you my most prized possession. My heart (Rarity: My heart) My soul (Rarity: My soul) My wonderful enigma." Phoenix sang solo with the help of Rarity.

"That seems to bind us towards one another." Twilight continued before Fluttershy and Blitz picked up a guitar and harp.

(Beautiful, soft guitar and harp music for two minutes, then upbeat rock music from bass guitar)

"Yeah yeah yeah yeah we're gonna have a party toni-i-i-ight! Under the Star and Moonl-i-ght (Phoenix: Whoa Whoa whoa whoa whoa)! Tonight is a night of celebration, a recognition, and we couldn't have it without you-ou-ou-ou! (Audience and announcer: Under the Star and Moonlight!) We're gonna have a party tonnnnnnnight!" The whole Team sang as fireworks fired in the sky, showing a picture of the Princess of the Night, then the Princess of the Day.

"Yeah yeah yeah yeah we're gonna have a party tonight!" Phoenix finished with a bow to the audience.

(Song End!)

"SPECTACULAR! JUST AMAZING! That was Team Ponyville's final song! A song never heard before, sung by Ponyville's own ponies! And now... The moment we've all been waiting for... Team Soldiers of the Great Legion, come on out because it's time to decide who the winners are!" The announcer announced before the other Team ran out from backstage.

Both Teams lined up together and waited quietly and patiently for the judging to begin. Everypony was anxious to hear which Team won. After a few minutes, Princess Celestia gave the announcer a letter and everypony waited for him to open it and reveal who the winners were.

"... Well... By what it says here... To the first songs sang by both Teams... "7" for Team Soldiers of the Great Legion... and "6" to Team Ponyville. An down grading "4" to Team Soldiers of the Great Legion on their second song and "8" for Team Ponyville's second. To the third songs... A "5" to Team Soldiers of the Great Legion... And a "6" to Team Ponyville. To the forth songs and the extra song... "7" goes to Team Soldiers of the Great Legion... And "10" for both songs going to Team Ponyville. And now for the final two songs, sang by both Teams... Tonight, they have given everything they've got to perform at their best, not letting anything stand in their way. To Team Soldiers of the Great Legion... A "6" will be given to them... and now to Team Ponyville, Cross your hooves, everypony. To Team Ponyville... "9" will be given to them!" The announcer announced the scores to everypony.

"Wait, so... to Team S.O.T.G.L... 7... 4... 5... 7... 6... That's "30" for us." Loud Sound announced to everypony.

"And to us, we got a 6... 8... 6... 10... 9... That makes..." Phoenix trailed off with a smile, knowing which Team won. "Guys, we won!"

(Play any victory music here.)

Everypony cheered for Team Ponyville and the group laughed and giggled in happiness. Team S.O.T.G.L even congratulated the group of friends that won the competition. Aquario flew onto Phoenix's head and giggled as he and his parents joined the Ponyville Team in this joyful moment.

"Team Ponyville, would you like to say a few words to the audience before we all leave for the night?" The announcer asked.

Phoenix nodded and the announcer handed him the mic.

"Um, I would like to say thank you all for being here tonight for our performance's. All of your cheering and applauding really did help us through this and we want to thank you for that. Also, this was more of a Team effort. What i mean by that is; both of our Teams had some troubles at time to time, but when we were able to talk things through, we all became friends in the end. Not only was this a night of singing and having a party, but also a night of building new friendships and perseverance, not giving up on something you believe in. I know i almost felt like giving up once, but because my friends helped me through my problem, i didn't give up. I kept on going for them and also to see this concert to the end. I really have to thank my friends, all of them for everything. Without them, i wouldn't be here, no, WE wouldn't be here. I also want to thank Team Soldiers of the Great Legion for this. Tonight felt like a new experience for me and i mainly said those things about friendship because both of us Teams became friends sometime ago, tonight. Again, thank you for your time and have a very good night!" Phoenix told everypony before giving the mic back to the announcer.

"Well, thank you for an exciting speech there and we wish you a good night as well. This is your announcer saying good night to you, and signing out." The announcer said to a camera pony while Pinkie waved to the camera before it shut off.

(The next day. Play My Little Dashie (Fan music) here.)

Today is 8 in the morning and Team Soldiers of the Great Legion were about to leave. Phoenix and the gang were also there, seeing their new friends before they leave Ponyville.

"Phoenix Burst, thank you for everything. After last night, i feel like a new stallion, or at least like the old me before that old me." Loud Sound said.

"Hey no sweat. That's what friends are for. So how did your talk with Celestia go?" Phoenix asked.

"Argh! You don't want to know. It was pretty bad." Sound answered, shivering a bit from the glare Celestia gave him (Think of Fluttershy's glare from "Stare Master").

"Hmm... I can only imagine... So will you guys be coming back?" Phoenix asked, hoping they will meet again.

"Um... Maybe yes, maybe no... I'm not sure. We're going to be traveling quite far out, so it's a mystery." Sound answered, unsure of himself.

"Well okay. If we do meet again, let's meet... As friends." Phoenix said as he stuck a hoof out to shake Sound's hoof.

Loud Sound nodded in agreement and shook Phoenix's hoof with his own. Everypony else (Only meaning both Teams) watched the two stallions say good bye to each other and also said good bye to one another. There were some hugs here and there, some hoof shakes and weird, secret "hoof shakes". The five stallions of Team Soldiers of the Great Legion then got into their chariot with Ratchet in the drivers seat and said one last good bye.

"Good bye, Team Ponyville. Let us meet as friends the next time we meet, okay?" Loud Sound asked as the chariot began to take off.

"You got it, buddy. We'll be right here when you do return, Team S.O.T.G.L. And that's a promise." Phoenix answered as he waved good bye along with the others.

"It was nice having you here and we hope you come back soon." Rarity added.

"We'll be expectin' ya'll's return, ya got that?" Applejack asked.

"Ya got it, Applejack." MasterMax answered.

Pinkie all of a sudden ran towards the chariot with a saddle bag tied on her, expecting to give Loud sound something. Ratchet stopped the chariot for Pinkie and waited for her to give whatever it was she was giving away.

"Here, i made this for you guys last night before going to sleep. It's not that big, but it's enough for five, i hope. I mean, it took me a hour to make and i'm still pretty tired from making it. I could always make you something else or-" BoomBox put a hoof on Pinkie's mouth to get her to stop rambling.

"Okay, Pinkie Pie. We get it. Thank you for whatever is in here." He told her before taking his hoof out of her mouth.

"Your welcome, BoomBox. Well, i hope you come back soon." Pinkie replied before walking away from the chariot.

BoomBox nodded to her and turned around, but met with Pinkie Pie, holding another box with something in it.

"I almost forgot! Here, i made this too. I almost forgot to give this to you because of my drowsiness. I'm so so so so so so so so so-"

"PINKIE... I get it... Thank you so much for these." BoomBox interrupted before giving Pinkie a hug. "I'll do my best to bring us back, okay?"

Pinkie just nodded in his hold before he let her go. Pinkie gave him a kiss on his cheek before trotting away happily. Boom blushed as he went back into the chariot and closed the door behind him. KingSparta, MasterMax and Loud Sound laughed at BoomBox as they took off again.

"Heh, it looks like someponies got a marefriend." MasterMax teased.

"Agh, it's not like that at all! She's nice and all, but we've just become friends last night." Boom retorted as he put the box's down.

Loud Sound just grunted and looked out the window to his new friends, still waving to them. A smile crept onto his face, just like last night as he watched them shrink from his view.

I don't know if we will return or if we can... but i promise that when we do return, i'll be a new Pegasus. Me... And MasterMax888, Ratchetness, KingSpartX37 and BoomBox... We will become better ponies. Friendlier... Kinder...Wiser... Stronger...

One for all and all for one, Friends forever and forevermore!

"And that is finally the end of the Battle of the Bands three part special, everypony! Finally it is done. I'm so sorry this took so long to finish. I only have three words for that and that's; lazy, lack of sleep and life. Oh wait, that's more then three... Anyway, it is finally, and i mean FINALLY time for the movie to begin. you do not know how excited i feel about making this movie for all of you. I only have time to start the beginning of the movie for today, so i'll get right to it after we see about the heroes of the story once more. Again, i am so sorry this took so long." Battle announced before Buzz lightyear climbed up onto the table near Battle. "Oh, finally up i see."

"Argh! You haven't heard the last of me, Zurg! I'll defeat you if it's the last thing i do!" Buzz yelled before falling of the table.

"... Yeah, sure. You have fun with that while i see about whatever is happening outside." Battle replied bluntly before walking outside to see everypony.

(Outside, David seemed to have calmed down the mob of ponies and got Diana down from the large log she was tied to. Battle saw this and dropped his jaw in disbelief.)

"What in the?!" Battle cried.

"Oh, your finally back. We've been waiting for you to return." Diana said, not really surprised to see him.

"Truly. Want one of us to close this chapter right now?" David asked.

"Yeah. Could you do it, David? Diana, you get to close the movie when it's time. I'm going to start it right now when David does the closing." Battle answered then explained to them.

"Great! I can't wait for it to start." Diana replied.

"Alright then. Oh, and because Battle forgot to mention this; Before the movie actually begins, we're going to have a "StarShine and The Cutie Mark Crusaders Short", like a "Pikachu the movie" reference. now, no more spoilers because the movie is coming up next. Disclaimers were at the top of this chapter and visit the YouTubers that were in these three parts if you like. And now, Thanks and BYE!" David announced before picking up a pie and threw it at you.
