Chapter 3: Back to School
Hey everyone I'm back and I'm pleased to see how many people were interested in this. I have quite a few surprises in store and remember to cast your vote on my profile if you haven't already. Also to clarify for everyone, right now I am in between the first Equestria girls and Rainbow Rocks. Please Review and Enjoy.
It had been a few days since Luke made his big discovery at Canterlot High in that time Will and April used it to help get look on track with the school curriculum and get him the supplies he needed.
As students made their way to Canterlot High Will pulls over in his car with Luke in the passenger seat. Looking out the window he saw most of the damages he saw when he first arrived were nearly fixed.
"Alright Luke we don't know what you'll find in there but do your best to keep a low profile in there." Will said.
"Right. Better get in with the others Burpy." Luke said as Burpy hopped into his backpack.
Luke gives his grandpa one last hug before exiting the car and making his way inside.
Walking into the halls Luke saw many students roaming around.
"Ok first things first I need to find the Principal's office." Luke said looking around for any sign of it when he someone carrying multiple boxes knocks into him. "Oh, uh sorry about that." He said when one of the boxes nearly fell off, but Luke caught it.
"Sorry about that. A little hard to see with all these." A female voice with a western accent said.
"Here let me help." He takes an extra box to reveal a girl with blonde hair in a ponytail and a brown cowboy hat. This was Applejack.
"That's mighty kind of you. What's your name?" She asks.
"I'm Luke."
"Pleasure to meet ya Luke, names Applejack." She smiles.
"Well Applejack what are you doing with all these boxes?" Luke asks.
"Just bringing these to the Principal's office." Applejack said.
"Hey I'm actually trying to find that, if I help you with these do you mind taking me there?" Luke asks.
"Sure, just follow me." Applejack said leading him down the hall. "So Luke where you from?"
"Uh I just moved here from a place really far away." Luke said.
"Oh so you're from out of town? What made you want to move here?" Applejack asks.
"My dad is busy with his uh…work and suggested I stay with my grandparents." Luke said trying to give too much away.
"Well here we are. Principal Celestia's office. Hope you like it here." Applejack said putting the boxes down for a woman with dark blue hair. This was Vice Principal Luna.
"Thanks Applejack, maybe I'll see you around." Luke said as she walked away.
Luna walks over to him. "Name please."
"Luke Shane, Miss?"
"Luna, Vice Prinicpal Luna. My sister's office is right there." Luna said pointing to the door.
Walking up to it Luke knocked on the door.
"Come in." A female voice said. Opening it Luke met a woman with purple, blue and green colored hair who was sitting at her desk. This was Principal Celestia. "Hi there, you must be our new student."
"Yes, that's right." Luke nods.
"A pleasure Mr. Shane. Welcome to CHS." She said typing on her computer. "Now I received your transcript and it says you spent most years learning from a…Red Hook. Is that some sort of Institution?" She asks.
"Yeah it's uh Red Hook Institute of Math, Science and Mechanics." Luke said as the memories of all the long years learning from that hook handed old man and Kord came back to him.
"Well your credentials check out, here's your schedule." Celestia said handing him a piece of paper. "I hope you enjoy your time here."
"Thank you Principal Celestia." Luke said taking his schedule and walking out the door.
Walking through the halls Luke was looking at his schedule. "Well the classes seem pretty normal. I got to be on the look out for that energy." Luke said heading to his first class.
Inside the teacher looks to see him walk in.
"So you're the new student? Well please find a seat and we'll begin." He said gesturing to the desks.
Walking to an open one Luke sits down next to a girl with puffy pink hair. This was Pinkie Pie.
"Alright everyone partner up and do the problems on the board." The teacher said as Luke reaches for his textbook.
Looking for a partner Luke wasn't sure who to ask when Pinkie Pie scoots her desk towards his.
"Hi there. I'm Pinkie Pie, you must be new because I have seen everyone at this school before and I've never seen you before." She said.
"Yeah I'm new." Luke said. 'Wow this one has lots of energy'
"Want to work together?" Pinkie asks.
"Sure." Luke said as they started the assignment.
As they worked on it Pinkie Pie was telling Luke a few jokes that he found funny unfortunately so did his slugs to the point their laughter echoed from his backpack.
"What was that?" Pinkie asks looking around.
"I didn't hear anything." Luke said as he taps his backpack telling them to quiet down.
Pinkie looks around and shrugs. Reaching into her hair she pulls out a chocolate chip cookie.
"Want some?" She asks.
"I'm good." Luke said quickly.
"Oh well more for me." Pinkie said eating it.
After class Luke grabbed his backpack and walked out the door.
Making his way to the cafeteria Luke was in line looking at the selections. 'Well the food looks generally the same as on Slugterra, just need to grab something simple.' He thought grabbing some fruit.
Suddenly Sunset entered the room the talking went to a standstill as everyone shot her a glare as she walked around trying to find a seat.
"Sunset Shimmer! Over here!" Pinkie calls out.
Looking at the table Sunset saw Pinkie Pie and Applejack sitting at a table with a girl with long purple hair and a girl with long pink hair. This was Rarity and Fluttershy.
"I think I liked it better when the whole school feared me instead of hated me." Sunset groans sitting down.
"Darling we know it's tough, but these things take time." Rarity said.
"I guess you're right." Sunset said.
As Luke paid for his food he walked around to try to find a place he could sit down.
From nearby Sunset was watching him curiously and notices the Shane Gang logo on the sleeve of his jacket.
"Sunset, Sunset?" Applejack calls out getting her attention. "Is everything alright?"
"It's nothing really it's just I feel like I saw that logo on that guy somewhere before." Sunset points as the girls look over.
"Ooh that's very stylish." Rarity said interested.
"What are those things on his arms?" Fluttershy asks looking at his deactivated wrist blasters.
"That's Luke he's in my class." Pinkie said.
Sunset looks at him carefully and tries to remember where she saw him before.
"We should invite him to come sit with us. Hey Luke over here!" Applejack calls out getting his attention.
"Oh, hey Applejack." Luke said walking over. "What's up?"
"We thought you could use some company. Pull up a chair." Applejack said.
"Thanks. It's nice to meet you all." Luke said sitting down.
"What do you mean? You already know me." Pinkie giggles.
"Of course, how could I forget you Pinkie Pie." Luke chuckles.
"These are my friends. This is Rarity."
"Charmed." Rarity said.
"Fluttershy."
"H-H-Hi." She said softly.
"And this is Sunset Shimmer."
"Nice to meet you." Sunset said.
"Nice to meet you all." Luke smiles.
"So Luke, tell us a bit about yourself." Rarity said.
"Well I just moved here a few days ago so I'm not really sure about what to do here." Luke said.
"Well the best place to go is Sugar Cube Corner, they make the best sweets in the world." Pinkie Pie said.
"Well I'll have to check it out sometime. Maybe you can show it to?" Luke asks sure.
"Hey Luke, what are these fancy looking thingamajigs you're wearing?" Applejack asks.
"My uh Uncle made these for me. He's quite the mechanic." Luke said when Pinkie lifts his arm to examine it.
"Ooh shiny. What's this do?" Pinkie presses a button and the wrist blaster opens up and the side blades pop out surprising the girls.
"Oh my." Rarity said not sure what to make of this.
Sunset's eyes widen as she remembers the battle against the Dark Clan the figure she saw battling it had those blasters on their hands.
"Uh I have to go!" Luke grabs his backpack and runs out the door as fast as he could.
Running down the hall Luke turns a corner and catches his breath when Burpy and his slugs both their heads out in concern.
"They saw my wrist blasters. I didn't know what else to do." Luke said.
Burpy and the slugs all chirp concerned. "I know I know rule #1 of being a Shane means nobody from the Surface can know about Slugterra and vice versa." Luke said.
As the day went by Luke kept his distance from Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie and Sunset as best he could until finally he came to his last class of the day, Gym. Heading to his locker he puts his backpack inside and opens it to reveal all his slugs. "Okay guys just wait here until I'm done while I'm away Burpy you're in charge." Luke said as Burpy nods in understanding.
Closing the locker Luke walks out to the track to see everyone playing soccer.
"Well it's not Slugball, but it looks fun." Luke said walking over.
On the field Luke saw a girl with rainbow colored hair zoom across the field with the ball and kicks it sending the ball flying through the goal. This was Rainbow Dash.
"Oh yeah! I'm the best!" Rainbow boasts as the goalie dropped to her knees exhausted.
"Hey we need someone to play goalie any volunteers?" The gym teacher asks as everyone takes a step back making it look like Luke had stepped forward. "Ah perfect. Get in there."
Luke put on a pair of gloves and walked out to the goal.
As it started Rainbow wasted no time in getting the ball and running towards Luke. Delivering a powerful kick the ball is sent flying towards Luke and slamming into him. Everyone gasps as Luke winces in pain before smirking and holding the soccer ball in his hands.
Rainbow whistles impressed. "Finally, someone who will give me a challenge."
"Is that all you got?" Luke said trying to act tough and throwing the ball back.
As the game went on it eventually turned into a face off between Rainbow and Luke. She was try to score a goal and he would try to catch it.
Both of them were breathing heavily as both of them getting tired while everyone else was watching in anticipation.
"What's a matter? Getting tired?" Luke taunts.
"Please I've got loads of energy." Rainbow smirks.
Running towards the ball Rainbow delivers a powerful kick that flies towards the goal. Luke dives for it, but the ball just bounces off his fingers and into the goal making Rainbow the winner causing everyone to cheer.
As Luke picked himself up Rainbow Das walked over and offered him a hand which he accepts.
"Wow that was pretty cool." Luke said.
"Thanks, I am pretty awesome." Rainbow smiles. "What's your name?"
"Luke." He smiles.
"Nice to meet ya Luke, name's Rainbow Dash. It's been awhile since anyone has given me a challenge."
"Well I'm glad I could make your day." Luke said when the bell rang signaling the day was over. "Well maybe next time I'll win the next round."
"I doubt it but I welcome the challenge." Rainbow smirks.
Walking back to his locker Luke opens it and grabs his backpack and opens it allowing Burpy to hop onto his shoulder.
"Alright Burpy time to get to work." Luke said walking away.
In the music room Sunset was pacing back and forth with the other girls looking at her curiously.
"Uh Darling are you going to tell us what has you nervous?" Rarity asks.
"That's the thing, I'm still not 100% sure what it is. All I know is that I think that new guy Luke is connected to it." Sunset said.
"Luke? Why what happened?" Rainbow asks.
"Well I'll admit those things on his wrists were a surprise but what could they possibly be for?" Fluttershy asks.
I don't know. On the night you girls and Princess Twilight defeated me I was forced to clean up the gym as part of my punishment. When I went to clean it up I heard an explosion. When I peeked inside I saw this creepy monster and from both sides they shot monsters at each other." Sunset said surprising them.
"Monsters?" Fluttershy asks a little scared.
"Did they look like they were from Equestria?" Rarity asks.
"I don't know I didn't see anything that looked like that when I lived in Equestria." Sunset said.
"Did you see who it was?" Applejack asks.
"I couldn't see his face because the gym was so dark, but when he walked under the light from the moon I saw those arm things on his arms and the same logo that Luke has." Sunset said.
"I wonder what it means?" Rainbow asks.
"So, what are you saying? Luke could be someone from Equestria like you were?" Applejack asks.
"I don't know, but maybe we should try keeping an eye on him." Sunset said.
"Yeah the last thing we need is another werido bent on taking over the world…no offense." Rainbow said.
"None taken." Sunset sighs.
As the girls left the music room they didn't notices they were being watched.
Across the street on the roof of a building the Dark Clan member was looking directly at the girls.
