Unsettle Tension within the Friendship Girls
After making a quick checkup on Flash and his bandmates, Shadow made his way to the backstage to check on the Rainboons against Trixie's band as he recalled from the announcement not too long ago. But when he got there, everyone in the audience were all booing at Sunset as he can tell something must've happened and walk up to the group.
"What's going on here?" Shadow asked.
"That's what we were going to ask Sunset." Rainbow Dash glared at Sunset.
"You were showing them your magic. I-I didn't know what else to do." Sunset explained.
"Ugh. Close the curtains? Unplug her amp? Give us a chance to deal with the situation?" Rarity pointed out the things Sunset could have done.
"I'm sorry, I just wanted to help." Sunset apologized, looking down in shame.
"Yeah, well, you didn't." Rainbow Dash said and got whacked in the head by Shadow's fist.
"Ow! What the fuck was that for?" Rainbow Dash asked wincing.
"For you being a fucking idiot on not seeing that Sunset was trying to protect you guys from the Dazzlings and other enemy Stand Users." Shadow scolded.
"Wait, you there are more Stand Users like you and Flash?" Twilight asked shock.
"Yeah, I actually fought one was just about to kill Flash and his band, but I stopped the bastard. But what's more is that he wasn't alone, there are others that are working with the Dazzlings." Shadow informed.
"Well, why are you standing here and not going after them?" Rarity asked.
"I would IF I knew who they are first." Shadow glared at Rarity sending shivers down her spine.
"Whoa, easy dude! She is just feeling tense right with the competition." Spike tried to calm everyone down, mostly.
"Good show, "Rain-brooms". I especially liked the part where Sunset Shimmer, in a fit of jealous rage, knocked out Rainbow Dash mid-guitar solo!" A girl said sarcastically walking up to them.
Sunset felt anger boiling up in her and was about to burst at her, but Shadow grabs her shoulder and giving her the look in hie eyes which made her breath to calm herself down.
"And you are?" Shadow asked.
"Ah, you must be the new student that transferred here just yesterday. You are grateful to be in the presence of the Great and Powerful Trixie Lulamoon!" Trixie introduced herself dramatically.
Trixie has light-pale grayish blue skin, purple eyes, and white with very pale grayish-blue stripe hair. She wears her signature a purple wizard hat with blue stars. Her outfit is a blue dress with a darker blue vest, a purple cape with a small diamond-like buckle, and blue boots a purple stripe around the ankle area. Breasts sizes: G-cup.
"Right, you're one of the contestants." Shadow remembered a little.
"One that is going to win the whole competition from my amazing music skills!" Trixie bragged.
"I'll admit, you got some skills with the guitar, but I think you got a little more ego than your big butt." Shadow mocked.
"How rude!" Trixie tugged on her cape against her butt.
"For once, I agree with her. That is a very rude thing to say to a lady." Rarity scolded.
"I don't give a damn about manners much, so sue me." Shadow said.
"Whatever, make fun of my butt if you want. Looks like they've already decided who'll be moving on to the finals! I'm guessing it wasn't too difficult a decision." Trixie pointed at Celestia and Luna making their final decision.
Then they saw the Dazzlings walking up to the adult sisters singing to them which he and Sunset saw their using their negative mind-control magic on them, but the question right now is what are they going to make Principal Celestia and Vice-Principal Luna do at this point.
"I prey you girls will at least enjoy watching the final round from within the crowd." Trixie mocked as she is about to walk away.
"Don't go doing things that could piss me off, otherwise you might have a problem with me." Shadow warned with his glare.
Trixie felt her body shaking a little from the intense stare, but at the same time she felt a little turn on for a moment there.
"I'll… take your word for it." Trixie said, looking away to hide little blushing cheeks.
"What can we do? There isn't gonna be another opportunity for us to play. And I had the most gorgeous outfit for the finals!" Rarity worried like a drama queen.
"Yup, 'cause that's the real tragedy here, Rarity – that you won't get to play dress-up!" Applejack said sarcastically as she rolled her eyes.
"You know perfectly well that is not what I meant!" Rarity glared at the cowgirl.
"Is now really the time for both of you to act like kindergarten?" Shadow mocked the two getting them to yell "Hey!" at him.
"You guys wanna keep it down? They're about to announce who's moving on." Rainbow Dash said trying to listen in.
"Who are you kidding? You know it isn't gonna be us." Fluttershy pointed out sadly.
"(Not unless those sirens have other things in mind.)" Shadow thought.
"The band that will be joining the Dazzlings in tonight's finals..." Celestia paused for dramatic effect with Luna using her phone for eh drumming sound. Celestia held the mic in front of Luna's face.
"The Rainbooms!" Luna announced.
The Rainbooms and some of the audiences are shocked to hear they just said while Trixie gasp of the news, Shadow is the only who is calm and knows what really happened with the result of the judges and glance at the Dazzlings on the other side of the stage.
"Did they just say, "the Rainbooms"?!" Pinkie confused.
"Yes, yes she did." Shadow nodded.
"This isn't over!" Trixie angered and walked away, only to accidentally bump into Shadow.
"Oh, excuse." Trixie said and walked around Shadow leaving the backstage.
"You know, I think she might like you." Spike said.
"What makes you say that?" Shadow asked the talking dog.
"Just a doggy instinct, I guess." Spike shrugged.
Then Shadow spotted another figure who looks like a butler behind the girls on the left looking back at him with a fierce and dangerous look in his eyes, Shadow gets a weird feeling that he could be one of the enemy Stand Users Rat is working with to make the Dazzlings their ally.
Shadow wanted to see if his gut feeling is right, but Celestia and Luna walked up to him and the Rainbooms getting in the way of his sight of the guy.
"Congratulations, girls. You deserve it." Celestia smiled.
"Be sure to give the finale a big show no one will ever forget." Luna advised.
"Seriously?! We didn't even finish our—!" Pinkie's sentence was cut off from Rainbow Dash covering her mouth with her hand.
"Thank you, we'll be sure to give it our most awesomeness… or whatever." Rainbow Dash said with a nervous fake smile.
"See you at tonight's big show, Rainbooms. We are really looking forward to it." Adagio smirked as Aria and Sonata also smug with devil confidence before they walked away.
"Yeah, well... not as much as we are!" Rainbow Dash said.
"Good comeback there, Dashie." Shadow said sarcastically.
"Hey guys, what's going on?" Flash asked while rubbing his head feeling a felt pain as he walks up to them.
"Flash, are you okay?" Twilight asked.
"Yeah, just a little pain on the neck, but I'm all good. How did the competition go?" Flash asked.
"Well, we played one of Rainbow Dash's song in the semi-final, but Sunset suddenly jumped on her interrupting our number. People started booing at Sunset thinking she's the bad girl again then Shadow punched Rainbow Dash on the head and called her an idiot, then the Principals made the announcement that we're in the final round, which is weird, don't you think is weird?" Pinkie explained fast and asked at the last found.
"Okay, I think I got most of that. And if you excuse me." Flash walked up on the stage and threw a shoe at someone on the head knocking him down.
"What'd you gone and do that for?" Applejack asked.
"Just to make sure that if anyone messes with my friends, they mess with me." Flash explained making Sunset smile.
"Come on, we better get out of here before the crowd decides to order a cargo of tomatoes." Shadow walked away as the Rainbooms and Flash follow him.
Meanwhile, Trixie is watching the Rainbooms leaving with an angry face.
"This is a travesty! A travesty!" Trixie complained, there is no way she was gonna let this go when the winning was in her hand and then it just slips away.
"It really is!" Adagio said as she, her sisters, and Alfred walked up to her.
"The Rainbooms don't deserve to be in the finals. Not when your band was so much better in the semis." Adagio faked compliment Trixie.
"And wanted it so much more." Aria added.
"Tis ashamed that you won't be in the final round, you would have given these girls the challenge they have been looking for." Alfred acted, playing along with the Dazzlings' scheme.
"Unless, of course, the Rainbooms don't manage to make it to their set or held up for some reason." Sonata said on purpose before they leave Trixie into her thinking.
"(If I can make the Rainbooms late for the final room, Trixie will have her rightful place in the final round and win the Battle of the Band! And maybe that Shadow guy will date me too.)" Trixie thought planned smirking.
(In a Random Hallway)
"Was it really wise to leave the Rainbooms to that magician wannabe?" Alfred asked, not sure if this plan will work.
"Trust me on this, Alfred. Trixie will do about anything to get the attention she wanted including being in the final round of the Battle of the Band, she'll know what to do to get the Rainbooms right where we want them to be." Adagio smirked evilly.
"And once that happen, we can have all the magical negative energy we can want!" Sonata excited.
"Well, at least you can focus on some things. Just wish most of them are not on those stupid tacos." Aria grunted.
"Hey, tacos are the food of the Gods!" Sonata claimed.
"Enough you two, we have to focus on our goal right now." Adagio scolded her sisters.
"I must take my leave for a moment, if Shadow Joestar is here then this could mean that Rat has failed his mission." Alfred stated.
"Wow, such a great job from the hunter." Aria rolled her eyes being sarcastic.
"Guess the rat ended up being the hunted, after all." Sonata shrugged.
"You three should prepare yourself for the final round of the music contest, I also must make a report to Lord Aku about this." Alfred said with a little bow and walked away to find Rat.
"I wonder if we'll be able to see Shadow in the crowd during the final round, I want to show him the dress I'll be wearing for tomorrow night." Sonata giggled.
"Not that I care about that guy or anything, but I think he'll look at me more than you." Aria grinned pumping up her breasts causing them to bounce.
"No way, he'll think I'm sexer than you!" Sonata proclaimed.
"Oh, like he would be interested in a stupid, taco-loving idiot!" Aria glared.
Aria and Sonata press their foreheads against each other while arguing about which one is the sexiest and who would get Shadow's attention more, then Adagio steps in separating the two and pushing them away a little.
"Will you two knock it off! We have been waiting YEARS ever since we were banished to this word to finally get our full power back and take this world for ourselves, the last thing we need is one guy making us go into a pointless fight!" Adagio lectured.
"Do you remember the struggles we had to go through in a non-magical world, that we once spend days in an alleyway!" Adagio reminded them as they remember.
"Soon, we will get what we wanted and no one, not the Rainbooms or those Stand Users can stop us!" Adagio declared.
"Don't we have that business partner with that Aku guy, he still wants something from us." Aria reminded her oldest sister.
"I know, which is why we'll play along with him as he proven to be a good ally so far. Perhaps we may find a way to make the Stand Users become affective to our power." Adagio said thinking of a certain in mind.
"Cool!" Sonata nodded as the sisters started walking through the hallway.
"So, Adagio… about what Shadow would think about you in the dress you picked out?" Sonata wondered.
"Sonata, please. I just said to focus on the task at hand." Adagio sighed.
"But I think Shadow definitely think I'm sexier than both of you combined." Adagio bragged a little faster.
Sonata and Aria's eyes and mouth widen of shock on what their big sister just said then quickly went after her to argue that she shouldn't make such a claim just because she's the oldest sister out of the three.
(Nurse Office)
"Oh Rat, it would seem my fear has come true." Alfred sighed of disappointment upon seeing his fellow follower of Aku lying on the sick bed.
"It would seem that Shadow boy is a lot more troublesome than we gave him credit for and his Stand must be quite powerful as well to fight off your Emerald Chain Snake." Alfred stated as he pulls on his right glove a little.
"Oh man…" Rat groaned in his sleep.
"Oh, it looks like you're alive. Then wake up, you idiotic snake." Alfred demanded.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm up." Rat groaned as he slowly wakes up and lift his upper body.
"Damn, what the fuck happened to me?" Rat asked still feeling pain from his head and look up seeing Alfred standing next to him.
"You were sent to face Shadow Joestar and it would seem you have lost the battle." Alfed mentioned.
"Huh?" Rat confused at first until instantly the memories of his fight with Shadow from the beginning of the fight to the end of how he was defeated.
"Damn, that fucking bastard! I can't believe he was able to beat me, ME! The hunter of Lord Aku, he's going to pay with his life!" Rat angered clutching his fists.
"Yes, there is no doubt now that Shadow is going to become a major problem in the future for Lord Aku." Alfred looked out the window.
"I'm going after that fucking bastard right now and give him a painful lesson he'll never forget in Hell!" Rat yelled as he jumps off the bed.
"No, there is no need for you to that." Alfred said.
"Huh?" Rat confused.
"Because as of now, you are no longer fit to serve Lord Aku in his name. Ever." Alfred pulled his glove again with a fierce glare.
"What the fuck are you talking about? I only lost one battle against that guy, sure he may have taken me by surprise with his Stand's light-speed punches and crazy strength, but I can still deliver the pain!" Rat stated.
"If it were someone else, you would have no problem killing them even against another Stand User. However, our lord made it very clear that failure within our group is not an option, never and you have broken that vow." Alfred glared as his body glows of a purple aura.
"So, after everything I did for him. All the kills I made and the tasks I done… this is the thanks I get? Screw you, you fucking" Rat's sentence was cut off when he felt a very powerful force pushing him down on the floor with tiny cracks appearing around him.
"You may have done a good serving our master up to this point, but now that serves have come to an end. Farewell, Rat Rattle." Alfred said Rat's full name.
"ALFREEEEED?!" Rat screamed in rage.
The scene changes to a spot of the floor of the nurse office close to Rat and a quick crushing sound was heard, and came the cracks growing longer along with some blood appearing as well.
KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!
Looks like the Battle of the Band is going to be in for a twist with the Rainbooms will find themselves in a troubling situation and Shadow will have to prepare himself for whatever new enemy Stand Users may come. At least he doesn't have to worry about Rat as it looks like Alfred has given him a "crushing" lecture that he no longer serves Lord Aku.
