SZ:*coughs while cleaning this studio up*ugh...we GOTTA stop doing this shit!

Z0: I mean thankfully the characters just take a vacation from us when we do it...so really we are the onlys who beat themselves up over it! Look readers...we do this okay, you know we have other projects we get sucked into. I'm betting half of you read them. We promise to try and balance it out eventually.

Momotaros: You better..I need some action damn it!

Rainbow: Same!

Z0: Oh calm down...we'll get to that. Besides you where all relaxing on a beach before we got back to this!

Pinkie: He's right! Ahh...that was some very tasty pink lemonade too.

SZ: Yeah yeah...but..*opens a trap door as they all fell in*back to the story! We own jack aside fom original content!

Z0: STORY BEGINS NOW! *punches the screen making it shatter wipe to the story*

"...hey. You guys okay?" Vinyl asked as the group returned.

"...was...everything we did...for nothing?" Twilight asked, a dull look in her eyes as she and the others stepped past her and Octavia.

"I don't know…" Ryotaro mumbled.

"How the hell should we know, we're Imagin, we don't even remember what the heck we used to be." Momotaros spoke, "In that regard your kinda like us."

"Yes..but what Celeste told me...about us being reincarnations...is everything we've been told a lie?" Twilight argued, "is...are we truly even friends to begin with? Are...were we even the good guys in our old world?"

"Does that matter much now?" Urataros asked.

"Huh?"

"Ah it sounds more like Twi-chan is acting weird over nothing important. Right now you are the good guy, hai? So who cares what you use to be? I mean I use to be bad to, but being good is more fun!" Ryutaros added.

"But...this...this is is s-" Twilight began.

"UGH! I HATE THIS MOPEY STUFF!" Rainbow shouted as she shot up, "So what if our memories may be fake once they return to us?! So what if we weren't friends in the past?! You girls are my best friends no matter what, and like hell am I letting some creepy gator tell me otherwise!"

"See? She gets it." Momotaros agreed.

"How can you guys trust us if thats true?" Twilight asked, "Ryotaro's job is to protect the world…"

"That would imply I don't trust you anymore." Ryotaro smiled, "That could never happen. You're my friends. I don't care who you used to be, I care about who you are now."

"Your overthinking it…" Yuuto spoke, "You have friends now...be happy with that."

"...but…"

"They're right," Pinkie spoke as she hopped in front of Twilight, "Sure...memories can be a scary thing..but that doesn't change us, Twi. No...if anything, we can learn from them."

"..learn?"

"She's right…" Rarity nodded as she walked over, "twilight dear...I see what you are getting at, but I do not agree with you. So what if we were villains..I do not feel that way at all. One thing I do know...is that we are bonded by the elements of Harmony."

"Hai…" Fluttershy nodded as she joined in, "I..I was so scared when I didn't have anyone aside from Rainbow...but when I met you all...I felt...a familiar pull between us...a spark if you will. As we hung out with you...that spark only grew."

"...I...I don't…"

"Sugahcube," applejack spoke, earning her attention as she looked over at the southern belle, who was leaning against the wall with her hat shadowing over her eyes, "when ah first met y'all...ah didn't want any part of it...because Ah didn't want to make anymore bonds...because Ah was scared…but...after what happened with the Taros and that Imagin...that's when Ah felt it...that you girls...deep down soem part of me felt that you girls were like mah family..." she said as she looked up, small tears in her eyes as she shot her a soft smile, "And an Apple never abandons family...ever."

"Can we just get over this and hug it out so we can get back to dealing with the bad guys!?" Rainbow complained, "I don't like seeing my friends all freaked out like this."

"...yeah...a...a hug sounds good right about now," Twilight replied, tears flowing down her cheeks as she looked at the girls...no. Her best friends.

"GROUP HUG!" Pinkie beamed as she pulled them into a group hug.

'...Memories huh...heh. Funny...you might have good memories...the ones I ended up remembering…' Sunset mentally paused, gripping her shaking arm as she heard the sound of a dark laugh echoing through her mind, 'Were bad….'

"The same goes for if you have bad memories too…" Yuuto spoke, "You don't have to be who old you use to be...just look at the other me."

"...yeah..you have changed…" Sunset noted, a small smile growing on her lips, "You were...unbearable."

"And you weren't, bacon hair?" Yuuto quipped...only to end up getting his foot stomped, "GAH! Women's shanking footwear! I was trying to cheer you up!"

"You know how I feel about that nickname…" Sunset frowned in annoyance.

"...wait. You're not still upset after what happened with that Boar Imagin are you?!"

"YOU USED MY HAIR AS BAIT!"

"Hehehe…" Twilight giggled slightly.

"That's better…" Ryotaro sighed happily.

"Yup, but we still have one problem…" Kotaro spoke, "A certain Siren problem."

"...The Dazzlings...we need to face them in the finals," Twilight noted.

"Yup...but one problem," Kotaro paused as he lightly poked Yuuto, making him wince a bit as he held his ribs, "Given what happened with Gaoh, Vegaltair will have to drop out."

"Screw you! I can...oh internal bleeding...Medic…" he groaned, falling over.

"Oh for...Den-Oh wait…shoot. He's most likely down, too," Sunset realized.

"...I'll help carry him to the nurse's office," Octavia offered, walking over as she managed to help him up, "You focus on the competition."

"I regret protecting idiots…" Yuuto groaned.

"Would you rather be controlled by the Dazzlings again?" Sunset deadpanned as she held her phone up, "Because I have Hana on speed dial should you relapse."

"...Carry away, Ms. Melody."

"Let's get back to the current problem then," Twilight offered as Octavia carried Yuuto off, "Given what the Dazzlings are capable of, they'll try something in order to win...especially Adagio."

"Their powers seem tied to music in a very blunt manner." Ryotaro added.

"So what? You just gotta sing a better song then them?" Momotaros asked.

"...that may be the case," Sunset answered.

"And we're sure we can't just abduct Ryo's from across time and have them sing all Barbershop quartet style?" Rainbow asked.

"I only get to do that so many times before I'm in trouble." Ryotaro spoke.

"Mmm...I wanted to see multiple Ryo singing a Climax version of that song he and Kota sang," Pinkie pouted.

"..." Rainbow looked to Kotaro.

"I said I wasn't getting involved!" Kotaro panicked at that look, "Oh no...I know those eyes. It's 7th grade Soccer all over again!"

"I'm really scared of what type of person Rainbow ends up being in the future…" Rarity muttered.

"Oh please. I'm probably an awesome aunt or mom," Rainbow argued at that.

"Well we won't know 'till we reach the future normally," Ryotaro replied.

"You know you Nogami men ruin the fun of time travel..." Rainbow muttered.

"That's legit our job," Kotaro shrugged.

"...Wait. What if we…"

"We're not cloning him, Rainbow," Twilight deadpanned.

"Why not?!"

"There's a chance the clones can gain an identity of their own."

"Not if we have the Imagin take possession of them."

"And when the clones do gain their own identities, they'll most likely trick the Taros into making a wish."

"We're not that...I mean maybe he...well...on second thought…" The Taros all muttered at the same time.

"The short of it is that they are idiots…" W-Ryotaro sighed, holding his head as he was sitting down on a couch.

"OI/HEY~!"

"Well we need somethin' to outshow the Dazzlings," Applejack spoke as she held her chin in thought, "But th' question is...how?"

"Well we've had the Imagin mostly sing...but what about Ryotaro by himself?" Twilight offered an idea.

"I agree with the Hime," W-Ryotaro spoke, sliding over to Twilight's side as he slung his arm around her shoulders.

"Grr…" Twilight growled in annoyance before lightly pushing him away with her magic, "But it is our best option...and we have heard Ryotaro sing before."

"True. Dude's got some good pipes on him," Vinyle agreed, "But if that ends up backfiring, you can always take a page out of that Trixie chick's notebook?"

"Huh?"

"You know...stage magic or something like that. Have Ryo change to a different 'personality' depending on what color light shines down on him."

"Change song mid way…" Twilight muttered, "That's not a bad idea."

"It's what I do…" Vinyl smirked, "In fact...let me help with th' music. I got nothin' better to do...plus it'll give me an excuse to try something I just made out."

"Eh?"

"Oh you'll see...just don't tell Tavi what I did to my car."

"I'm afraid to ask what it is for the fear her car turns into Soundwave from Transformers…" Ryotaro spoke, regaining control of his body.

"That would be both awesome and freaky," Rainbow admitted.

"...Why do I feel like I'm going to be upstaged somehow?" Adagio asked herself as she was fixing her hair up.

"Don't you mean…" Aria began.

"I know what I said," Adagio argued.

"Someone's testy…" Sonata noted.

"No I'm not," Adagio argued, "I'm just trying to calm myself so that I may greet my adoring public for when I win..and for when we have so much negative emotions to feed on...mostly for me."

"Gee...such inspiring pep-talk for your bandmates," Aria said with heavy sarcasm, "...Least Sayaka wasn't th-"

"DO NOT SPEAK OF HER NAME!" Adagio snarled at that.

"AHH! ANGRY DAGI!" Sonata freaked as she ran behind Aria.

"Yeesh calm down…" Aria sighed, "She didn't mean anything by it."

"I know...I know…" Adagio sighed as she calmed down a little, "It's just...everytime I hear her name and recall the list of people who died during that incident in Futo...it makes me feel so...angry. Angry at the fact that I'll never beat her...ever!"

"Because she was so nice to us and you treated her as your kinda-rival like Wakana?" Sonata asked before flinching at the glare Adagio gave her, "Sorry…"

"Just shut up and don't mess up," was all Adagio said as she walked off.

"...Dagi's been really tensed since Christopher and Gaoh showed up," Sonata noted in worry.

"Wouldn't you if it meant going back onto the streets and losing everything we had gotten since we became idols?" Aria countered.

"Yeah...but at least I'd be with you and Dagi," Sonata argued, making her raise a brow, "I mean...sure all those things are nice and all that...but isn't the one thing that's important is being with the people you know and care for, like family?"

"Maybe you're right…" she sighed, "Maybe only someone with such a simple brain like yours can see that sooner than us...question is will Adagio allow it?"

"Well...we can try and talk it out with her before our turn comes in the finals," Sonata offered.

"And do you think She'd be willing to listen in her ego/anger-driven state right now?"

"I don't know...but we can still try." Sonata smiled.

"...yeah. I guess we can try," Aria sighed with a small smile, the two unaware of Kotaro hearing in on their conversation, "I mean who knows...maybe she might act humble for a change and listen…"

"Yeah, and maybe we can get tacos after!"

"Don't push it, Sonata…"

"Mmm~"

"Come on…" Aria sighed, grabbing her hand and dragged her along.

"You're right, Jii-chan…" Kotaro whispered, making sure the girls didn't hear him, "There is always more to the story then just who is bad and who needs saving…"

"Ugh...What am I gonna do?" Adagio whispered as she paced about, the Dazzling leader standing outside, "I can't look suspicious and make the other team disappear...and I can't confront them myself unless I had someone protecting me...grr...I want to win. But how…?"

"Maybe I can help with that?"

"...Ugh. It's the little creep," Adagio groaned, not even turning to see Kai lazily lying on a tree branch, "What is it?"

"You seem stressed. You know stress makes crows feet, right?" Kai spoke, "Don't get old on us now." he laughed, "But I mean...what would I know? I exist outside of time, I stay this good looking literally forever."

"Ugh...Just tell me what you want," Adagio asked with a groan

"Who said I wanted anything? I go where I am needed."

"..."

"...Mmm. I hate talking to the serious ones at times," Kai pouted as he hung upside down the branch he was on, "Basically? I overheard what you said, so I'm gonna give you an Imagin to help you win."

"Oh…w-"

"And don't give me the whole 'oh, but I'm sure I can beat them with my god-given talent,' schtick...I can tell you're afraid."

"?!" Adagio tensed at that.

"You can tell that your enemies have some talent," he went on, "Pretty good talent, too."

"So what can you offer...Isn't that stupid Nogmai guy like the only person who beats your freaks?" Adagio argued.

"Yes. But Imagin are only ever as strong as the contract and the wish," he smiled.

"...Go on."

"I mean...Imagin don't stay here...and wherever they go...He goes after them." Kai went on, "Or...should I say...Whenever?"

"...you might be annoying at times from what I've seen when you're near Christopher…" Adago began as a dark smirk grew on her face, "I love the ideas you brew in that psychotic little mind of yours."

"I'm around for a reason, and its not just my dance skills and charm." he smirked, "Of course by this point Den-O and his friends are growing strong...but whats quality to Quantity?" he held his hand up, "I have a...special Imagin I've been working on...a self replicating one. No matter how many times one dies...more are made. And it works best when you...bring in multiple contractors."

"...Well wh-"

"Adagio, no," Adagio turned to see Aria and Sonata staring at her, the former giving her a frown.

"Ahh. Perfect timing," Adagio grinned, "Aria, Sonata, I need you two to…"

"No."

"I beg your pardon?"

"Listen. We've done some shady stuff in the past before just to get by and so you can feed your ego...but this? What you're about to pull off...without my and Sonata's consent? I want to win...but not like this," Aria stated.

"Ooh~ family drama," Kai beamed a bit.

"Stay out of this!" Aria snapped.

"Ooh...feisty." Kai laughed.

"..Well, I'm sure Sonata…" Adagio began before seeing Sonata fidget, "?"

"Well...I agree with Aria. This...this is just wrong," Sonata admitted with a sigh, "I mean...sure we got a lot of good things when we won and performed for people...even managed to feed ourselves on their negative emotions. But...shouldn't it be possible for us to feed on positive emotions instead of resorting to making people act nasty towards each other?"

"..."

"...Surprisingly she makes a point," Aria noted, "I mean...we Sirens technically feed on emotions already, so who's to say we can't feed on positive emotions?

"My...I suppose if majority vote says no...my services are...not required." Kai close his hand and brought it back under his cloak, "I s-"

"Don't...move," Adagio ordered, making Kai tense before he could take a step, "so..let me see if I get this straight, you two? You don't want us to win? You want us to play fair and in turn lose, meaning we'd lose everything we've...no. I've worked hard for?" she said as she approached the two, "You want us to return to those filthy slums where we have nothing but scraps to survive on and staying in empty boxes just to stay out of the rain...you want me to return to that damning lifestyle?"

"...Well, if it means we can still be together like a family, then…yeah," Sonata replied.

"...hmm hmm hmm…" Adagio began to give a low chuckle, the jewel around her neck beginning to glow with a dark aura, "Oh Sonata…?"

"Yes, D-" Sonata began before she was smacked hard and sent hard into the ground, "Ahh!"

"WHO SAYS EITHER OF YOU GET TO CHOOSE?!" Adagio snapped, her eyes glowing red with a faint image of a giant horse/fish hybrid appearing behind her for a moment, "I AM THE LEADER OF THIS GROUP! I DECIDE WHAT WE CAN AND CAN'T DO! I DECIDE WHAT'S BEST FOR US! I DECIDE ON WHAT WE NEED TO DO TO SURVIVE, EVEN IF IT MEANS TO CHEAT!"

"Adagio, y-" Aria began before tensing with Sonata as the jewels around their necks began to glow with a dark aura as well.

"I will not sit idly by and let Twilight Sparkle and her freak friends win! So if it means we mess with time just to spite not just them, but him as well, then you will do what I say!" Adagio snapped, her voice sounding distorted...and like it belonged to someone else.

'Heh heh~ I knew given Christopher those Shards of 'Discord' would be fruitful,' Kai thought as he watched.

"...Fine…" Aria sighed as the dark glow faded from her jewel, "Do whatever…"

"...yeah…" Sonata sighed as the dark glow faded as well from her jewel.

"Good…" Adagio frowned as she turned towards Kai, "I speak for all of us in that we accept the deal."

"Well alright." Kai smiled, "They aren't exactly charming fellows. But...they get the job done." he held his hand out, forming an Imagin sphere of light, "Now...make a wish." he spoke as he sent it forward before splitting into three orbs that flew into each one of them.

"We wish to win this contest..and make sure no one stands in our way," Adagio stated with Aria and Sonata giving a small nod.

At that sand fell from them as it began taking form. All of them blue in color. They had red trench coats over their torso's resemblant of Prison uniforms, as each one had the word Mole and a Number. They all had metal shoulder armor in the form of a studded metal trap with four claws extending outward. Their right arms were red with plates of metal forming a stripe down each sleeve with small blades making a serrated pattern their arms ended in clawed gauntlets resembling the claws of their namesake a mole. The left sleeves were torn off revealing the blue of their body with their hands ending in different weapons for each. The one in the center had a spike extending from a drill like mace. The second had three long mechanical fingers. Finally the Third had a large razor edged axe that seemed like a chunk of a gear.

"...Rather rough looking...but they'll be enough," Adagio noted as she looked at the three, "Now listen you three...there's these girls and this boy with them. I want you to make sure we win and they lose."

"Heh...seems easy." the one in front spoke lifting up his left hand, "It won't be silent though…"

"As long as I win, I don't care…" Adagio responded, "Make them suffer. Break their instruments. I don't care how you do it. Just make sure they lose."

"Whatever you say boss lady." he laughed, he then pointed to the one with a clawed left hand, "Jump to the past using the dumb one." he ordered.

"Right!" he laughed creepily.

"?" Sonata blinked before a green portal suddenly opened up on her, making her tense before the clawed Mole jumped into it.

"What was that for?" Adagio asked.

"As long as one brother survives, eventually the rest of us revive." the Drill Mole explained, he then looked back as the clawed Mole reformed from sand, "Likewise if one of us vanishes into time...they reappear by waiting…" he laughed, "Meaning no matter if Den-O and his band of weirdos do kill us...we'll just resawn in the past."

"...And you…" Aria began before sighing, "Nevermind...my word doesn't mean anything anyway…"

"Good. You learned your place, "Adagio smirked.

-linebreak-

"Ok...and that should do," Rainbow grinned as she finished adjusting her guitar, "We are gonna rock the place!"

"How do you always mess up the tune of your guitar? Seriously you have tiny hands...how can you mess the strings up that bad?" Momotaros complained.

"Hey. When I rock, I rock hard," Rainbow argued with a smirk.

"Yeah! A-" Pinkie began before she twitched for a moment, "...eh?" her entire body shivered as she began to vibrate in her seat, "...Twitcha twitch..."

"...No…." Twilight began.

"Twitcha twitch…!"

"No no no…" Rarity continued.

"TWITCHA TWITCH!" Pinkie shouted as she shot up from behind her drum-kit, hopping around the place like a hyper-bouncy superball.

"Ah!" Ryotaro cried as she landed on him, "This...does not bode well…"

"Hoo~! That was a doozy," Pinkie shuddered, her hair a bit of a mess.

"...Nothin' fallen…" Applejack muttered, her hands on her hat as she cautiously looked around.

"...Momotaros, do you smell anything?" Twilight and Sunset asked.

"Hm? Now that you mention it...I smelled a weak scent, but I figured it's just the weirdo who houses the rest of them skulking around again." Momotaros explained, "But the scent is just that...weak. Like Moles."

"Moles?" the girls-minus Sunset- repeated.

"If you think we all are...free willed or strong, you are sadly mistaken. Of the many of us, some were not so strong as to gain powerful independent forms." Urataros added.

"The weak willed of our kind have the same shape as one another." Seig added, sitting in a chair, "We call them Moles due to their bodies only developing weapons resemblant of mole claws. Normally they all look the same, weapon hands and black prison jackets."

"...so they're just grunt enemies?" Rainbow asked.

"Yes, but they can be dangerous when they're grouped up," Sunset spoke, "Me and Yuuto dealt with a group of them once...tore almost half an entire city to shreds…"

"Quantity over quality." Momotaros summed up as he moved his sand form over next to Ryotaro, "But I only smell three now that I focus. They don't take much to put down either, so we got this."

"...But that leaves the question," Twilight began as she held her chin in thought, "Who could've made a Contract with three Mole Imagin?"

"...Don't tell me…" Kotaro began, his eyes widened in realization, "The Dazzlings."

"They wouldn't be that desperate, would they?" Fluttershy asked.

"The other two I doubt, but Adagio...given her ego, she'd do anything to win…" Kotaro answered with a slight frown, "Even if it meant messing with time."

=Contestants, the finals will begin in half an hour. Please make any and final preparations= HArshwhinny's voice came from the speakers.

"And time is not a kind mistress right now," Vinyl added, "So what're you guys gonna do?"

"...I got it. One team will stay here in the present while the other checks in the past," Twilight answered, "If it's three, no doubt one of them was sent to the past to make sure the other two survive"

"Problem. We need a card to determine what time period one of the Moles possibly appeared in, so how…" Kotaro began before noticing the look Twilight gave him, "...Nuh uh. No way."

"You have to...even if it slightly annoys me given how she feels about you."

"I'm going on record that I hate all of this, and now I'm not so ashamed I was a terrible troublemaker as a kid." Kotaro complained.

"...I'll call Hana," Sunset simply stated.

"We're sorry!" Twilight called out to Kotaro as he ran.

"It really doesn't feel like it!" he snapped.

"You girls are evil...do you know that?" Momotaro asked as he shot a deadpanned look at Twilight and Sunset.

"We're not evil. We're smart," Sunset replied as she and twilight high-fived eachother.

"No I'm pretty sure those are the same thing…" Momotaros muttered.

"Hm...he thinks intelligence and evil go hand in hand…" Urataros muttered.

"Doesn't it?" Ryutaros and Kintaros asked.

"I don't care if you are evil hime!" Sieg declared, "To be separated by the choices of morality! Truly a tragic story!"

"Oh brother…"

"...Ohh…" Sonata sighed sadly as she walked down the pathway back to the contest, walking past a few food stands...which she didn't even care for at the moment, especially since one of them was a taco stand.

"...wow. She must be depressed if she's avoiding tacos…" Kotaro quietly noted, hiding behind a tree as he carefully spied on her, making sure her 'sisters' weren't nearby, "They must still be arguing. But Jii-chan's journal rarely mentions them...so I don't know how their story ends. Meaning I have no frame of reference for what to fix." he sighed, "This is what it feels like to be totally unprepared for a situation...it's horrible."

"You could as they say…'try and wing it,'" Teddy suggested.

"That sounds like what my Grandfather does...and I hate its all I have left to me." he sighed walking forward, "But what I hate more for some reason...is seeing someone who use to look so happy, look so sad and alone."

"So you d-"

"As a friend...do not even think of finishing that sentence," Kotaro cut Teddy off.

"I'm just saying. You do seem to enjoy yourself when she drags you off to somewhere fun."

"Shut it." he sighed as he approached Sonata, taking a deep breath as he lightly tapped her shoulder, "Hey."

"...Oh. Hey Kotaro…" Sonata greeted with a sigh.

"..." he sighed, "So...I take it things with your sister...know what nevermind." he shook his head, "You...Okay?" he asked.

"...I'd answer, but…" Sonata began as she lowered her head, "My word doesn't mean anything to anyone...not unless Dagi says so..."

"..." he raised his arm and lowered it to pat her head, "Don't ever say that about yourself."

"Hmm?"

"Your very loud...and frankly you somehow crash into my life without my being able to stop you. But…" he smiled, "I like it better when you are like that, when you are smiling and driving me nuts, then listening to you sound so hurt and defeated. Even I can't stand such a sight!"

"...wh-what?" Sonata blinked, blushing as she looked up at him, "You...really think that?"

"Yes." he smiled, "I'm not gonna say I like it when you drag me around like a burlap sack, or when you force your feelings on me…" he chuckled, "But I like 'that you' better than 'this you'. I'd rather see her everyday cause then I at least know your happy."

"...But...what if I ended up doing something bad, even if I had no say in it?"

"If you had no say in it then I'd be mad at the person who took your say away. And after I'm done scolding them things will be okay." he smiled once more, "Your sister...is kind of an ass...and I happen to be pretty good at kicking ass. A lot better than other people with my last name." He suddenly swung back and kicked one of the Mole Imagin as he tried to attack him from behind, "and I don't fall for such cheap tricks." he smirked pulling Sonata close as he spun her around him as he swung another kick to the Imagin's face, making him fall over.

"Gh...h-h-how?!"

"Well I happen to know a few tricks...like using a pair of pretty eyes to see things sneaking up behind me." Kotaro chuckled, snapping his fingers as Teddy appeared behind the Imagin and grabbed him, "Teddy, take out the trash."

"Leave it to me!" he spoke lifting the Imagin up over his head.

"Oi who...oh wait...I don't like where this is g-!" the Imagin was brought down on Teddy's knee, "I didn't like it!" he cried.

"Come on." Kotaro ordered, pulling Sonata away as they began running.

"Hey get back here...is that a chainsaw?!"

"It's just you and me." Teddy said turning said gardening tool on.

"YOU'RE CRAZY!" the Mole freaked as he ran, Teddy hot on his trail.

"That'll keep it busy till it remembers it has no organs...or blood...or actual body...and he's made of sand." Kotaro muttered, only to blink when he heard no response, "...ooi. Sonata y-'

"Haba...y...h...m...b...being h...h…" Sonata stammered, her face a heavy beet red as steam escaped her ears.

"Hmm...still better than when she's sad." Kotaro mused.

"HELP! He's trying to kill me!" The Mole Imagin panicked.

"...No no. Too easy," Kotaro shook his head, "Okay...just need t-"

"Ahem," Kotaro slowly turned to see Adagio staring at him with a frown.

"Oh...if it ain't the queen bitch herself."

"I'll pretend I didn't hear that," Adagio scoffed before looking at Sonata, "Sonata!"

"Eep!" Sonata yelped as she stood straight, her blush fading away.

"We'll be on soon, so get back to our room so you can get ready," Adagio ordered.

"...B-"

"No arguing. I make the choices around here."

"...And what if she doesn't want to go?" Kotaro asked as he stood defensively in front of her.

"?!" Sonata's eyes widened in worry, "...Kota, don't…"

"Oh? Who do you think you are, then? Her knight in shining armor?" Adagio questioned as she shot Kotaro a smirk.

"Well I am good at fighting nasty dragons…" he smirked back.

"...Okay just for that," Adagio began wth a scowl before she took a deep breath.

"?!" Sonata's eyes widneed, "Dagi n-"

Adagio ignored Sonata as she unleashed a loud, ear-piercing scream, resulting in a massive shockwave as it blew back some nearby trees and stands before it collided with Kotaro, making him grunt as he was sent flying right into a tree.

"KOTA!"

"Hm…well that was new…" Adagio whispered to herself, her jewel glowing faintly for a moment, "Well..least he'll think twice before crossing me."

"Mmm…" Kotaro grunted pushing himself up, "That...that hurt…" he groaned propping himself up against the tree, "I knew Sirens had sound-based magic of some kind...but nothing that powerful...and I thought Sindel from Mortal Kombat had some lungs on her…oh that's a creepy comparison in my head now..."

"How are you still moving?" Adagio asked.

"Oh please...you think a Nogami could be taken down by that...we get hit in the head by bricks...we fall off roofs...we get struck by Lightning from the sky…" he went on, "The men of our family are built stupid strong…"

"...Then let's see if you can survive another then," Adagio said as she took another deep breath...only for a soundwave to send her flying back, "Ahh!"

"Ah...s..sorry, Dagi!" Sonata apologized as her jewel faintly glowed for a moment.

"Sonata, you're so dead after we win this contest!" Adagio snapped as she shot up.

"Teddy!" Kotaro shouted as he put his belt on, "Ikuzo. Henshin!"

=STRIKE FORM!=

"Oh great…" Adagio sighed as New Den-O stood ready," Hey idiots! Make yourself useful and help me take care of this masked weirdo!"

"Weirdo? Please...compared to the old model, I'm handsome and charming." New Den-O countered before dodging a swipe from one of the Mole Imagins.

"Exactly!" Teddy spoke, kicking one of the Mole Imagin away before backhanding another across the face, "Kotaro is the very embodiment of cool!"

"Teddy!" New Den-O shouted, kicking the third Imagin in the face repeatedly as he pushed it back, "Iko." he rubbed his fingers together as Teddy morphed into the MachTeddy.

"Oh I think we made a mistake…" One of the Moles gulped.

"Ha!" New Den-O shouted, slashing his now glowing sword and cutting through one of the Imagin in a single sweep making him explode.

"AHH! HE G-" the second of the trio began before he was bisected down the middle from a slash from New Den-O, causing him to explode.

"You can run if you want." New Den-O spoke as the third ran, he flipped Teddy around and held him up like a rifle as he aimed and fired a blast which pierced the Imagin's chest as he was running. The Imagin fell over and exploded as New Den-O set his weapon down on his shoulder.

"So...cool~" Sonata whispered in awe.

"Well...looks like you're little grunts are gone," New Den-O said as he looked at Adagio..who only had a smirk on her face, "...Normally this is where the egotistic bad guys start to freak...unless…oh…" he quickly blocked a strike from a Mole Imagin that tried to strike him from behind, "There's one in the past, isn't it?"

"Bingo." she smirked, "Hehehe...I wondered what was the point but now I get it. These guys aren't half bad."

The three Mole Imagins shouted as they all began swinging at New Den-O who blocked all their swings, "They get stronger with each...comback...what a pain!"

"And don't forget…" Adagio began as she took a deep breath.

"...Oh this is gonna s-" New Den-O began before a massive soundwave hit him, sending him crashing through a few trees, "...yup! Knew it was gonna suck!"

"Honestly this is too easy," Adagio laughed, "But as much as I wanna see this go on...Sonata!"

"But Dagi...y-"

"Now...or else my new scream will rupture his brain through his ears," Adagio threatened, her eyes glowing with dark energy for a moment and her voice not her own once more.

'What the? Did her...no. They couldn't be seeping through already, could they?' New Den-O thought.

"...Can I least say goodbye to him?" Sonata asked as she sighed.

"...Ugh fine…" Adagio sighed, the dark aura fading once more and her voice back to normal as she held her hand up, causing the Moles to step back, "Just make it quick."

"K…"

"Wait...you don't have t-" New Den-O began as he got up...before Sonata hugged him.

"I'm sorry, Kota...but thank you...thank you for being…" Sonata paused, tears trickling down her cheeks as she tried to remain calm, "Thank you for being my only friend…" she whispered before she released the hug, walking back over to Adagio as the Mole Imagin walked away from the area, the two Dazzlings following suit as Adagio shot the Kamen Rider one last condenscending smirk.

"Ugh…" New Den-O groaned falling over, "Teddy...This is troublesome."

"Very much so, Kotaro. That blast did significant damage to you, primarily your sense of equilibrium ."

"That's not what's bugging me…" New Den-o sighed, "It...it's this feeling of powerlessness...not being able to help her…but also...something that's bugging me. That jewel around queen bitch's neck...that had to be a Shard of Discord, but..."

"But what?"

"I think there's something bigger going on here…" New Den-O answered as he powered down his transformation, "And now we have no way to get to th…" he began before he noticed a card in his hand, a date on it with a picture of one of the Mole Imagin on it, "...That clever girl…"

"Kotaro?" Teddy asked as he changed back to normal

"Maybe...she's not as dumb as her sisters think...or as I assumed she was…" he grunted, sitting up, "As soon as I catch my breath...let's go meet up with the others...and help knock miss ego off her high horse."

"I'm not doing it…" Yuuto frowned, his arm in a cast as he was back with the others, "I'm not wasting a card on some Moles."

"But…" Twilight began.

"NO BUTS! If it were any normal Imagin that's giving trouble, I would...but Moles? Nuh uh...waste of time."

"...I'll call Hana," Sunset threatened.

"I don't care. I'm still not doing it," Yuuto huffed.

"Is he always this difficult?" Octavia whispered to the others.

"Eh...it varies," Sunset shrugged.

"Sides Nogami and his Grandson can handle it." Yuuto argued, "At least one Nogami isn't a total idiot."

"Yes but here's the thing, Yuuto…Ryotaro needs to be here, otherwise Twilight and the others will be disqualified for having a missing band member," Sunset argued, "Which leaves you and Kotaro to deal with the Imagin here in the present and the past."

"Again, nope. Don't care." he simply shook his head.

"...Fluttershy?" Rainbow simply spoke.

"Oh please...as if that little Stare of hers will work," Yuuto scoffed before seeing Fluttershy shooting him a very disapproving look, "...it...it won't work…"

"Uh…" Vinyl began.

"Give it a sec," Applejack said as the girls noticed Yuuto beginning to sweat nervously.

"You…won't break me…" Yuuto muttered.

"Trust us...we've tried and failed," Momotaros chimed in.

Yuuto sighed as he turned away, "I can't…" he explained simply as he pulled out his card holder, "I only have two cards left…"

"Oh...Then why didn't you say so?!" Sunset complained.

"Because you girls and Nogami keep forcing me to fight!" he countered with annoyance, "Ugh…"

"...Ugh. Nevermind...We'll have Kotaro deal with the one in the past…" Sunset sighed, "Meaning I'll have to take over Yuuto's duty with my magic."

"But when and where exactly are th-" Rarity began before Kotaro stumbled on, the girls noticing his small injuries, "Oh my goodness!"

"Kotaro, are you okay?" Ryotaro asked in concern.

"Yeah...just had an encounter with Sonata's bitch of a sister," Kotaro answered as he winced, "Ugh...damn sound magic hurts…"

"...So you couldn't get the Time Card we need…" Twilight sighed.

"...Actually…" Kotaro began as he held it up.

"?! How…"

"Let's just say never underestimate the dumb ones." he replied simply.

"Ha! Ya here that, Mahou-onna?! I…" Momotaros began in a cocky manner.

"So you admit your dumb?" Twilight blinked.

"Y….wait. OI!"

"Heh heh. Momo admitted it," Pinkie giggled lightly.

"I hate you…"

"Moving on…" Sunset began as she took the card, "Hmm...Wait. What year is it?"

"2019. Why?" Ranbow asked.

'...I might need to examine this later,' Sunset thought, "The card is slated for last year. Just when Sayaka Maizono was annaunced the top Idol alongside Wakana in Futo City, but before…the Kibougamine tragedy."

"The wha….?" Pinkie asked.

"Of course you wouldn't know…"

"I don't like bad news!" she pouted.

"...Moving on," Sunset sighed, "My point is, this is before the Dazzlings became who they are...and most likely still lived in the streets."

"So Kotaro might end up in the past of our city, or Futo," Rainbow summarized, "...Lucky. I was hoping to at least ride the winds of the Windy City…"

"Can Kotaro handle this alone?" Twilight asked, "I mean, you said those Mole Imagin get stronger each time right?"

"I'll have to try." Kotaro explained, "If it works...well if you deal with the problem at the source, then the rest will fall suit."

"Meaning if the Mole in the past is taken care of, the rest will lose their power to come back each time," Sunset finished.

"Exactly." Kotaro nodded, "But finding them if they aren't causing damage is the hard part."

"True. And we know in someway they'll try and sabotage us from winning th-" Sunset paused as her eyes widened, "...Of 're gonna try and attack Twilight and the others in the past."

"There are three of them…" Kotaro added in shocked realization as their eyes widened.

"...you owe me a card then…" Yuuto groaned.

"Huh?"

"I mean if we don't stop them, then people will get hurt. I bet they went as far back as before you all even met." Yuuto pointed out, "So you can't fight back."

"That's true." Twilight muttered, "But there are only 2 of you."

"I have to go to…" Ryotaro spoke.

"But…"

"No…I'll go with them," Celeste spoke, a serious tone in her voice as it echoed in the groups' minds.

"?! C..Celeste?" Twilight blinked in surprise.

"I'll be able to leave Denliner since it's in the past, so Luna won't be able to leave the island still. But most importantly...these Moles made a grave mistake...trying to attack my little sister."

"...Oh yeah. Ah know that tone...that's th' tone me or big Mac used when Applebloom nearly got ran over by them varmints in th' Diamond Dogs, "Applejack noted.

"Hehehe...they are reformed by fear!"

"Stop being proud of that…" Twilight and Applejack spoke in unison.

"Nevah!"

"Well...we can use the help," Kotaro sighed, "Besides, will give me a chance to see how she fights."

"Oh ho trust me Kotaro...you'll be surprised," Celeste mused, "Now you two hurry."

"I guess this works." Twilight smiled, "Guess they won't be expecting this."

"Nope. Now let's get ready for when we win the rock off!" Rainbow declared with a laugh.

"YEAH!"

=2018=

"Ugh...Sonata hurry up!" Adagio complained...dressed in some rags as she Aria were standing in an alleyway.

"Ahh…" Sonata drooled, looking at a store window of a mexican restaurant, "Tacos~"

"We don't have money, Sonata," Aria deadpanned.

"But I'm hungry~!"

"We had…"

"Spam doesn't count!"

"Look what do you want...we can't just do something we can't. Just because we want to…" Aria sighed.

"Yes, and if we did have the money, we need to save it," Adagio added before smiling a bit, "Especially for when we debut as pop idols."

"With our voices, I doubt it," Aria deadpanned.

"Grr…"

"Well maybe it m-" Sonata began as she turned, only to start groaning as she held her stomach, "My tummy hurts…"

"...ugh. Wh-" Adagio began before she began to groan and fall over, "Ugh...what was in that food…?"

"What the...he-..." Aria added as she groaned and began falling over.

"What's...happe-" Sonata began as three portals opened up on her and her sisters, making her tense up as three Mole Imagin hopped out, "?!"

"Alright boys..let's find those girls and start wrecking mayhem!" one of the Moles declared.

"You know who to go after." the drill armed one added, "Break!" at that the three jumped away to different locations.

"...Wh-what just…?" Sonata began in worry before a nearby door opened.

"OH NO YOU DON'T!" a voice snapped as Zeronos jumped out, tackling one of the Mole Imagin midair as he tackled it into a nearby warehouse.

"What the..?!" another of the Mole Imagin began, turning to look for a moment before New Den-O slashed him across the chest, sending him staggering back.

"Oh you gotta be…!" the third of the Moles began before he crashed into a wall of light, "D'oh!"

"We're not letting that fly." New Den-O spoke, "We're here to stop you, no matter what."

"Maybe...but what about ourselves in the future?"

"Yeah! they have to be doing something to!"

"I'm sure Nogami and the girls can handle those losers. Oh...right it's also you losers." Zeronos spoke.

"Yes...three 'losers' who made a grave mistake," Celeste added, dressed in her battle garb as she had a sun-themed shield in one of her hands while holding a lance in the other.

"Uh-oh…" they gulped.

"Yup...you pissed off the reincarnated sun goddess," Zeronos smirked behind his helmet, resting his weapon on his shoulder.

"You should not have done that," New Den-O added.

"You really shouldn't have." Celeste added as the three of them walked forward.

"...Mommy," the three Moles meeped.

"Greetings again, and welcome to the finals of our Battle of the Bands!" Harshwhinny declared as the crowd began to cheer on, "Unfortunately one of our three finalist had to drop out due to some injuries-they wouldn't have won anyways-, meaning the finals now consist of the Dazzlings and the Dencrew!"

"Not if we have anything to say for the latter…" one of the Moles in the present whispered as they spied from a nearby tree outside the concert.

"Ahem!" the three Moles turned to see Sunset looking at them with crossed arms, "Correction...not if I have anything to say to that."

"...We're not afraid of you," the lead Mole threatened as they brought their weapons out.

"Heh...funny thing. I told my friends once I've been holding back...so congrats," Sunset said, reaching into her jacket as she pulled out a hairband with a light-orange unicorn horn on it, "You get to see me use my magic at full strength…" 'Just hope I don't lose control…'

"Eh? You wanna go!?" one of them asked in a cocky manner.

"Here and in the past, you all enjoy picking on us Moles…" their leader spoke, "But counter question...how many times have we already died?"

"Heh...let me answer that...with another question…" Sunset began as she put the hairband on, causing the Moles to tense as a sun-gold colored aura began to surround her, the Moles feeling like a miniature sun was staring right at them, "Can you handle light as hot and strong as the sun?"

"Y...you b-AHH!" one of the Moles yelped as they dropped their scalding hot weapon...which soon melted into liquid metal, "..."

"And trust me…" Sunset began, lowering her hand as sphere of light hovered near her, "The you in the past made a grave mistake…"

"What's that?"

"You angered a reincarnated sun goddess, and she's far more powerful than me."

"Heh…" their leader smirked, "This plan is going like Kai wanted. Get her!"

"Bring it then," Sunset challenged as she stood ready.

"What's that light?" Adagio muttered, seeing a faint light shining in the distance from the concert, "...Nevermind. It's probably more fans wanting ot praise me...speaking of, Aria, Sonata. Let's go."

"...Yeah," the two sighed as they followed her.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Dazzlings!" Harshwhinny called out as she moved aside.

Adagio just chuckled before she began to give a low aria, Aria and Sonata following suit as their gems began to glow. Green mist began to flow into the crowd as they began to cheer in their slow hypnotic state. Adagio went a bit louder as she felt their emotions..their tasty negative emotions She was in pure bliss. However...the lights suddenly went out, making the three stop before a light began to shine next to the podium. The crowd looked to see Vinyl standing before a large mix table with neon lights, a pair of very large speakers behind her.

"Let's finish this concert...with a climax…" Vinyl smirked as she pressed something on her mix table.

=Cue: Climax Jump-Denliner Version=

Synthetic music ebgan to play as Vinyl's console began to shine, showing Twilight and the girls as they played their instruments...with what looked like a shadowed Imagine of Ryotaro before a flashing light hit him, showing each of his different appearances each time the Taros took over him.

"Jikan no nami wo tsukamaete…" a mix of the Taros' and the girls' voices began as the former had their heads lowered, "Ima sugu ni ikou yakusoku no basho...Genkai mugen iza toikome, Climax Jump!"

"What the?!" Adagio gasped as the music suddenly picked up.

"Ii jan! Ii jan! Sugei jan! Ii jan! Ii jan! Sugei jan! Ii jan! Ii jan! Sugei jan! Ii jan! Ii jan! Sugei jan!" the group sang before a red light shone on Ryotaro, showing that Momotaros was in control.

"Kanaetai...yume ga aru nara…" M-Ryotaro sang before a blue light sne on him, showing that Urataros was now taking reigns.

"Shinjanakucha...negatta hibi wo…" U-Ryotaro continued.

"CATCH THE WAVE!" the group sang before a purple light shone on Ryotaro, showing it was Ryutaros' turn.

"Mayoi sou na toki kanarozu!" U-Ryotaro posed before a yellow light shone on him just as Kintaros took over.

"Omai no tsuyosa ga michibiku," K-Ryotaro continued as he popped his neck before the light turned off on him.

"Kimi ga nozomu mirai sude ni In. Your. Ha~nds!" the group sang as the crowd began to cheer them on.

("Hajimari wa itsumo to~tsuzen…")

Zeronos grunted as he slashed the Axe hand Mole. He swung up as the slash lifted and flipped the Imagin over. As it hit the ground it was slashed again sending him stumbling back. Zeronos grunted as he flipped his weapon around before punching the Imagin in the face sending him flying away.

("Unei wo tsurete yuku Time Tri-pin' ride!")

New Den-O jumped off a roof as he slashed the double clawed Mole. He slashed low flipping it through the air before he swung down and slammed it into the ground. He kicked the Imagin sending him sliding away.

("Fukanou wo koeta!")

("Tsukam-toru sa…")

("CLIMAX!")

Celeste used her shield to block the Drill Mole's strike before pushing his arm away and bashing him across the face. The Mole roared and swung only to be stopped by an orb of light. He grunted only to be stabbed by a spear made of light that sent him flying back.

("Kaware koto wo osore~naide...Ashita no jibun mi ushinau~ dake!")

("Dare yari takai!")

("Sora e tobou~ yo…")

("CLI~MAX JUMP!")

The three Imagin slammed into one another before looking up as their opponents aimed directly at them.

"This...was a mistake…"

"Th...this can't be happening…" Adagio whispered, watching the crowd as they began to chant 'Ii jan! Ii jan! Sugei jan!' with the Dencrew, "They...they c-Sonata stop chanting that song!"

"But it's really c-" sonata began before flinching at the glare Adagio gave her, "...fine."

Adagio huffed before they sang once more, the glow on their gems starten to dark once more as faint images of something began to appear behind the three.

"Something's happening...meaning we're pushing them back somewhat," Twilight whispered.

"And that's a good thing!" Rainbow whooped as she did a riff on her guitar for a moment just as R-Ryotaro took stage once more.

"Mune no naka...minna hisoka ni…" R-Ryotaro sang before K-Ryotaro took his turn.

"Kaki-kaetai...kioku mo aru…"

"Means nothing!" the group sang in unison.

"Atarashi asa wo matsu nara…" U-Ryotaro began as he tagged out with M-Ryotaro.

"'Ima' wo nuri-kaearou soka kara…" M-Ryotaro continued.

"Honna sukoshi yuuki mote In. your. Mi~nd!" the group sang as the beat caught up once more.

("Tabodachi was itsumo hi~tsuzen...Douse nara tobimaware Time tri-pin' ride!")

Sunset formed a magical seal before it shone and unleashed multiple streams of fire which curved and went forward. Each one struck and damaged the three Mole Imagin, making them fall over.

("Sagashi-dasu no sa!")

("Jibun dake no…!")

("CLIMAX!")

As the Imagin got back up they were all stunned to see multiple orbs of light floating around them. Suddenly they all shot like lasers pelting them from every angle as sparks flew from the impact.

("Kinou made no kioku subete...Hitsyou to wakaru hi a ku~ru hazu!")

("Hokoreru you ni!")

("Sara naru…")

("CLI~MAX JU~~MP!")

"Sounds like they're…" Sunset began before kicking back one of the Mole Imagins and fired a beam of light at it, sending it staggering back, "Having a blast!"

The trio all grunted before looking down as a magic circle formed under them. As if answering to their gulps of concern it exploded sending them flying up into the air.

"Kokoro wo tsuyoku suru… Daji na kotoba to ka!" M-Ryotaro sang as he caught a falling feather before tagging out.

"Kakegaenai omoide wo atsumete!" U-Ryotaro continued as he put his hands over his heart before K-Ryotaro took over.

"Mou sukoshi ato sukoshi…" K-Ryotaro began before R-Ryotaro took his chance.

"Tosokanai hoshi zo~ra!"

"Akirametara soko ga shuuten….saa~!" the group all sang-Vinyl included as the crowd cheered them on loudly.

"No...th...they're getting more attention that us?1 Then...me?!" Adagio exclaimed before growling, a dark aura surrounding her as her eyes glowed red, "No...I won't accept this...I deserve the spotlight! ME!"

"Adag-" Aria began before she and Sonata groaned, slumping a bit before their eyes began to glow as well, followed by the dark aura.

Within a matter of moments, three semi-visible beings appeared behind the three, each resembling what looked like a monsterous horse mixed with a fish-like creature with their scales the same colors as their respective Dazzling. All three took a breath before they let out a shrieking aria, letting out soundwaves that fired at the group.

"?!" Twilight tensed, quickly summoning a barrier to block the incoming soundwave, only for it to shatter like glass, "Gah! I...barely managed the hold that back…"

"Is that what a Siren really looks like?" Rainbow blinked, noticing the three faint figures behind the Dazzlings, "...Yeesh they ugly…"

"And they got Stands too?! No fair!" Pinkie complained.

"Now is not the time, Pinkie…" Uratartos frowned, his sand form hiding behind her.

"Don't worry...been waiting for a moment to break this out…" Vinyl smirked, flipping out a vinyl disc as she put it on the mix board, causing more panels to pop up, "Yo Ryu! You and your homies are up!"

"AH!" Ryutaros gasped in shock and joy as he instantly took over Ryotaro, snapping his fingers as his backup dancers appeared behind him just as the music picked up.

"Y to the E to the A to the H, Ryuuta ga toujou everybody say! Agacchau yo tension! Taros bros de session!" R-Ryotaro rapped as he and his backup dancers did some breakdance moves, "Choushi n notte iku ze Bang Bang! Kimi ga negau jkan made dash! Koukai nante tsumanai jan! Neratte ii yo Climax Jump!"

At that last lyric just as R-Ryotaro's backup dancers ran off stage, a sound shockwave came off the group, causing the Dazzlings and the Sirens behind them to stagger back.

"It's working!" Twilight gasped, "Don't hold back!"

"Gotcha!" the girls shouted, unknown that their magic was seeping into their instruments as large faint images of the Taros began to appear above the group, causing the crowd to slowly gasp in awe at the sight.

("Hajimari wa itsumo totsezen...Unme wo tsurete yuki time tri-pin' ride!")

Zeronos and New Den-O held up their henshin device as they slotted it into their weapon and scanned it respectively. Celeste moved her staff in a circular pattern, a sphere of light appearing before her as it went into her lance as she prepared to stab it forward.

("Fukanou wo koete!")

("Tsukami-toru sa..")

("CLIMAX!")

("Kawaru koto wo osorenaide…Ashita no jibun mi ushinaru~ dake!")

Sunset took a deep breath as six multi-colored spheres of light began to circle behind her, a faint visage of a phoenix spreading its wings behind her as a ball of sun-gold light began to form in her slowly spreading hands.

"Dare yori takaku!" K-Ryotaro sang as the girls and the crowd repeated the 'ii jan! Ii jan! Sugei jan!' in the background.

"Kinou yori takaku…" U-Ryotaro continued.

"CLIMA~X JUMP!" the entire group declared as the transparent above them gained instruments and prepared to play them.

(Ii jan! Ii jan! Sugei jan!")

=FULL CHARGE=

"Luminous Dawn... " Celeste whispered before making a horizontal slash upwards, sending a massive cutting wave of light in the colors of a morning dawn at the Mole Imagins as Zeronos and New Den-O added their own cutting waves to it.

"AHH!" the Moles freaked as they tried to run, only for the combined cutting wave to engulf them, causing them to cry out in pain as they exploded.

("Ii jan! Ii jan! Sugei Jan!")

"Houoh Hantei…" Sunset whispered before she thrusted her hands forward, senin out the sphere of light as it formed into a flaming energy phoenix.

The three Moles freaked, about to run before the Phoenix engulfed them as it rose up into the air, crying out before it exploded in energy flames destroying the three Moles in the process.

"Ii jan! Ii jan! Sugei jan! Ii jan! Ii jan! Sugei jan~!" the group shouted as the played the final notes, the four semi-transparent Taros above them playing a note on their respective instruments as they unleashed a massive sound shockwave that overpowered the Dazzlings, causing the three to cry out as they were sent flying as the sirens behind them vanished. Once they landed, the jewels on their necks began to crack before completely shattering.

"Ugh…" Harshwhinny groaned as she fell to her knees, holding her head a bit as she felt some powerful pull fade away.

The crowd...they were in utter silence..before they began to roar out in their cheers as they chanted the Dencrew's names, even repeating for an encore.

"A...Are we...did…" Ryotaro gasped for air as he fell over, "I...I could only breath in between possessions…"

"I..I think...we won…" Twilight panted heavily as the girls collapsed onto their behinds just as the four 'holo' Taros faded, "I...don't sense...anymore...dark magic coming from them."

"Okay...good...cool…" Ryotaro sputtered as he rolled over to lay on his back, "Can...can I sleep...for like a week?"

"Yes...in fact, a mini-vacation sounds good…" Twilight answered.

"Sweet...just in time...for Halloween too…" Pinkie beamed.

"Ugh...this…is not over…" Adagio groaned as she got up, followed by Aria and Sonata, "I...can stilll win!" she grabbed the mike and sang something into it. Ony...it sounded ear grating and offkey, "?!"

"...ahaHAHA~!" Sonata sang in a horrible offkey as well before covering her mouth, "?!"

"...Welp. So much for our singing careers," Aria sighed.

"No..no! W-we can still win!" Adagio snapped as she tried to sing..only to still end up with that horrible offkey singing, only to yelp when she and her sisters were being pelted by tomatos and other rotten fruit.

"BOO! YOU STINK!"

"WHAT DID WE EVER SEE IN YOU HAGS!?"

"LOSERS!"

"THEY PROBABLY PAI SOMEONE TO RECORD THEIR SINGING!"

"A...w...b…" Adagio tried to argue...yet her words fell o ndeafears as the crowd continued to jeer at her, Aria and Sonata, "N...no...i..but...my spotlight...my...my time to shine...my…." tears began to form in her eyes as she began to shake, "My dream…"

"...well...it was fun while it lasted…" Sonata tried to cheer her up.

"Yeah...but we still have to live on the streets again," Aria pointe out.

"No...no no. I...I…" Adagio began as she fell to her knees, more tears rolling down her cheeks as the crowd continued to toss me rotten fruit and veggies at them.

"STOP IT!"

"?!" Everyone tensed when they turned their attention to Kotaro, who was stepping out fmo behind the curtain.

"Kotaro's up to something…" Rainbow noticed.

"Let him…" Ryotaro grunted sitting up, "I trust his decisions."

"What is wrong with you people?!" Kotaro snapped at the crowd, "Sure they lost, but that's no reason the victimize them!"

"But they're singing is horrible!"

"SHUT UP, LARRY!" Kotaro snapped, for emphasis the Taros even tossed something at Larry while no one noticed, "Look...I get it. But this...this is just horrible. Do you think this is at all acceptable? I don't know about any of you...but where I come from, people are better than this!"

"But…"

"But nothing!" Kotaro snapped, "Listen...I know what they possibly did was wrong...but they helped make this Battle of the Bands, and it brought so many people together...it helped bring out their creativity. It helped bring out something in them they probably didn't know they had."

"What's Kota doing…?" Sonata whispered to herself as she and her sister's watched him.

"Look...they...eh. Well one of them is kinda...horrible…" Kotaro muttered, "But...she just needs someone who can set a better example for her. So come on..just...chill." he sighed, trying to calm down, "And if you don't, then the violent version of my...uh...cousin...will take over this talk for me." he motioned to Ryotaro.

"And now I'm involved." Ryotaro chuckled as Momotaros jumped in him for added measure.

"...But...our career ...it's over…" Adagio sighed.

"So?" Sonata asked, making her look at the bluenette as she walked forward, "At least we had a bit of fun doing it. And if it is...well I guess we can call this our farewell concert and see someone with better talent than us."

"...Huh. Sonata making sense…" Aria noted, "...Who are you and what did you do with our lovable idiot?"

"Hey~ I can be smart…"

"If you guys are so in need of a place to stay...I think I know a place that can give you room for as long as you work." Kotaro added, getting their attention, "Just...take care of the owner...she doesn't understand dudes flirt with her."

"...you sure?"

"I am."

Adagio pondered this over for a moment, looking back at her sisters before she heard a lone clap, making her blink as she saw one person in the crowd clapping..followed by a few more as they all joined in, saying words of apologies and that they'll miss the Dazzlings.

"...How...I..we did…" Adagio began, trying to find the right words to say as she was in shock and disbelief.

"For once...just shut up." Aria sighed as Sonata nodded as the two waved at the crowd.

Adagio said nothing, a lone smile growing on her face as she stood up, wiping the tears from her eyes as she waved at the crowd with her sisters. She felt the emotions they all gave off...not ones of negativity..but of positivity. Even if they felt sad, they were happy to see them perform one last time.

"Well...that's Ryo's grandson for ya." Rainbow joked.

"Guess being a good guy runs in the blood." Pinkie smiled.

"Yes and now Airi has even more people to do labor for her." Rainbow chuckled, "Ah...least she won't be left without help during break when we all leave for our own things."

"I hope they'll be able to adjust," Fluttershy added.

"Order up…" Aria muttered, reading a book as she slid a tray full of coffee and baked goods towards Sonata as the two and Adagio wore aprons over their regular attire.

"Gotcha!" Sonata beamed as she took the tray and carried it off.

"...While this may be a step down, this beats living off hte streets," Adagio muttered, putting down some coffee for a pair of patrons.

"True...also Dash says look out for some pervs that keep gonig after Airi, especialy the one named Seigi," Aria pointed out, going back to her book for a moment, "Huh...nice read. Hey, Ms. Nogami. You have the next part of this book series?"

"Oh...Ryo knows where it should be. He and Twilight rearrange the books now and again." Airi spoke as she was busy brewing a new batch.

"Uh…" Ryotaro muttered looking at a high shelf, "Here it is." he handed it down, as soon as Aria took it she moved back as the latter fell over and Ryotaro slammed into the ground, "I'm okay…."

"Yeesh...and I thought Sonata was clumsy," Aria muttered.

"Wuzzat?" Sonata blinked at that.

"Nothin'."

"...wait. What was that about a…" Adagio began before she heard a camera flash went off..in Sonata's directin, "..."

"Ooh~ What a beauty...former pop idol now a momber of Airi-chan's crew! Such…" Seigi began before the hat he was wearing was snatched, "Ahh!"

"Excuse me…" her turned to see Adagio...who had a rather…'calm' look on her face, "What do you think you're doing?"

"...uh...nothing?"

"Nothing...then explain the hidden camera in your hat here?" Adagio asked, the unsettling smile not leaving her face, "You weren't planning anything naughty with the picture you just took of Sonata and Ms. Nogami, are you?"

"...Uh…" Seigi began nervously.

"If so...well normally I'd offer for a photoshoot, but...if you plan on doing something involving my lovable idiot sister, I'd have to lock you in a room with walls so thick, it can cause any loud noise to bounce off its walls, making it...oh say like echo location, only it gets louder before it fades...and the first sound would be that of tin-foil nails grinding against a chalkboard."

"...eh heh. W-would you look at the time," Seigi laughed nervously as he shot up, "I uh..i have something important to do a-a-a-and…" he stammered before bolting out of there.

"I think they'll do okay." Twilight smiled as they watched them adapt.

"Gramps is gonna need to expand the living section above eventually." Kotaro muttered.

"Ah'll see if Big Mac can help wit' that," Applejack offered.

"Yup, but not important right now," Pinkie waved off before holding up some bags, "Time for some halloween vacay~!"

"It was nice of them to give use tickets at least for helping them," Fluttershy noted.

"Well given how they were going to lose their jobs as pop idols, they used what resources they had to at least give us the tickets for winning the Battle of the Bands," Rarity pointed out.

"Where are we heading to again?" rainbow asked.

"Sakura New Town, and the only way there is by train," Twilight answered, "...And no Rainbow. We're not taking Denliner."

"Nuts…"

"I'm excited!" Pinkie cheered, "It'll be loads of fun! Shame sunset and Yuyu can't join."

"They had something to do," Twilight argued, "Plus we need someone to look after Ponyville while we're gone, like Kotaro."

"I'm not going anywhere…" Kotaro argued, "Not my time, I can't leave this town. Unless it's to the past to fix something...you all screwed up."

"Ouch…"

"You know it's t-" Kotaro began before Sonata glomped him from behind, "Gah!"

"Kota! Thank you so much for getting us this job!" Sonata beamed as she nuzzled against his back, unaware of the men biting down on their napkins with looks of jealousy on their faces, "Oh! Maybe after work, we can head to that arcade that opened up! I heard they got a new dancing game in there!"

"I suppose I brought you in...you're my responsibility…" Kotaro sighed, "Sure...I guess it wouldn't h-"

"YAY! THEN LET'S GO!" Sonata beamed as she ran out, dragging Koaro with him.

"Sonata y….ahh nevermind. Let her have fun," Aria waved off as she went back to her book.

"How's she gonna react when she learns Kotaro is Ryotaro's grandson from the future?" Rainbow asked.

"Don't tell her…" Twilight sighed.

"I'm gonna tell her." Rainbow smiled.

"You better not…" Adagio and Aria warned.

"I…"

"Last time she found a boy she liked and couldn't be with him, she went a bit nutso...and then went on a taco bender while locking herself away in her room for weeks," Adagio explained.

"Last time it was two months...couldn't record anything aside from that sad ballad she sang," Aria added.

"Yes a-wait. What sad ballad?" Adagio asked.

"You were sick at the time."

"You recorded a song without me?!"

"How are you not shocked by the Ryotaro's grandson part?" Pinkie asked, grabbing and dragging Ryotaro over for emphasis, "I mean...that's crazy future nonsense…"

"We blame this Kai guy for exposing us to the whole time travel crap," Aria answered.

"Kai?"

"Some friend of our former manager Christopher."

"..." they all blinked.

"Uh...Kin…"

"They're coming with us." K-Ryotaro spoke picking them both up over his shoulders.

"We're gonna interrogate them for information!" Pinkie shouted.

"No," Twilight stated, making her and K-Ryotaro gawk, "...After we get back from vacation."

"Fair enough…" Pinkie sighed.

"Tell the muscle head to put us down!" Adagio snapped.

"I kinda like not having to move on my own." Aria added as she kept reading.

'Well I dont being held like this! This is not how you handle a lady!" Adagio argued.

"You're a lady?" Rainbow and Aria raised a brow.

"UGH!"

"Do I drop them?"

"Don't…" Aria began.

"Yes!" Adagio snapped, only for him to literally drop them.

"This is why we let others talk…" Aria groaned.

"Shut up…"

"So you used my own pawns like that for..?" Christopher began as Kai spun around in a chair.

"For...mmm...important stuff." Kai smiled as everyone else just stared at him, "It was really important. Besides you're filling out this little Fullmetal Alchemist wannabe party."

"...regardless, it was kind of effective in a sense," Christopher admitted as he turned towards the moon, "Besides...got them mad enough to make her use her full power."

"Heh heh...so it's a win win," Kai grinned.

"Also...do not think I do not notice it," Christopher stated, making Kai raise a brow, "The fluctuating time within that little city...how things keep changing out here in the real world while it keeps perpetually changing...and you know who's behind it, don't you?"

"...maybe I do...maybe I don't…" Kai grinned in response as he spun in his chair once more, "What's your point?"

"My point being is while the Elements of Harmony and their Rider friends may not know it, this is beneficial to us…" Christopher answered, "Even now I put in a good word to G.U.N to my former pawns' location...when those three least suspect it, they'll be carted away without anyone noticing."

"You...are a cold bastard you know that!?" Kai laughed.

"I dabble…"

"...well I got some juicy info then, something you can use to help motivate Luna," Kai grinned as he hopped up, spinning in place for a moment before pointing at the moon, "Within a few days...a beam will hit the moon."

"Oh?"

"Just, just trust me." Kai smiled at the attention the others gave him, "It's...wild." he laughed happily.

"..I can never read him," Trixie muttered.

"Because you're locked away in your little world," Gilda snarked.

"Grr…"

"Don't fight you two," Edward stated, looking at a book at the moment.

"Now now...no need to argue. We got no reason to fight amongst ourselves...that is unless you Want our enemies to win." Gaoh smirked.

"..No," Gilda and Trixie sighed.

"Good girls."

"Heh heh...I love it when you guys get together," Kai chuckled, "Though I do miss seeing Mr. Sloth...he is a laugh riot!"

"He's busy on a certain errand," Christopher explained, "And believe me...one less headache from him...the better."

"Well I hope you find that last member soon." Kai smiled.

"Oh don't worry…" Christopher began, reaching into his pocket as he pulled out a heart-shaped jewel...a menacing dark aura coming off it, "I believe I've found the perfect candidate…"
