To The Dark Side
What if when Quinn joined the Skanks, she wasn't alone? What if she showed Rachel, Santana and Brittany the light and they joined her. What if more people joined them? Would Glee and McKinley survive?

Chapter 12: This Means War
The Sectionals fiasco as it came to be known rocked the school for weeks, with three quarters of the school supporting NM and the rest of them supported ND out of respect for their past results. However in NM corner was a surprise supporter, Sue Sylvester came out and publically supported Shelby by saying "I never hated the show choir competition. I just hate William Schuester and his pathetic need to be great at everything. With NM they just want to win, and that is what I instil in my Cheerios and that is what I like so from this moment on, I and my Cheerios will be supporting NM." With Sue's backing NM were loved and ND were hated more than ever.
What annoyed ND most was the marriage between Rachel and Quinn and how their defection cost them the chance of winning Sectionals outright. Finn was annoyed the most because he saw it as the ultimate betrayal from Rachel, that she would marry Quinn was against all that he stood for, in his mind it was against all that he had told her. He therefore sought out his friend Sam. Sam who had returned to ND from a strip club thanks to pleas from Finn and Tina had helped ND tie with NM and had lots of experience with Quinn having dated her last year, so in Finn's deluded mind he was the man to ask. He found Sam perched above the bleachers which underneath housed the Skanks led by Quinn.
Quinn joined the Skanks not long after her little groups summer transformation and having seen what they were, promptly removed the lot of them and brought in her own group of Skanks. They dressed as Quinn did and originally consisted of Rachel, Brittany and Santana. They now included Kurt, Blaine, Puck, Sugar and that girl who looked like Sunshine from last year. Finn approached nervously and was immediately nearly overcome with the smell of cigarettes and alcohol. However he really needed to talk to Sam, so he ploughed through the smell and stood next to Sam. He tapped his friend on the shoulder and when he got Sam's attention he spoke in a hushed voice. "Sam, I need your help."
Sam having been told all about Finn's antics with regards to Rachel sighed and then asked. "What's the matter Finn, can it wait because I was having a discussion with the Fabrays here before you interrupted me." Sam finished with a glare at his friend.
Finn not noticing the tone his friend used just said. "No it can't wait, I need your advice on how to win my lady back from that girl below you." Finn finished with a sneer aimed at said girl.
Quinn, still smarting from the Sectionals tie was in no mood for idiots and Finn Hudson had become a huge idiot since they came back from Summer Break. So to ease her negativity from Sectionals, Quinn moved so that she was directly underneath were Finn was stood and yanked his legs from underneath him so that he got stuck in the bleachers. She then told Finn in a voice that would make a normal man shiver that she was going to find out how ND tied Sectionals and if she finds out that any member of ND had any part in the result, then there would be a whole lot of trouble coming ND way. She and her group then finished their cigarettes and drink and left the bleachers saying something to Sam that left Finn puzzled.
"You know where to find us."
As it turned out he did. Within a week of talking to Quinn and having listened to Finn and the rest of ND bitch and moan about how they should have won Sectionals. Sam quit ND and joined NM. Shelby was ecstatic at having another talented singer join her group, as it now gave them more sings that they could choose from which wouldn't suit her ladies range. Rachel and Quinn were also happy because Sam was able to give them a clue on how ND had tied with them at Sectionals. Rachel then approached her mother and asked. "Have the judges decided what they are going to with regards to the result from Sectionals." The response she got was not one that the group had wanted to hear.
"I wanted to tell you this after today's lesson, but I guess I can't hold off much longer. The panel have decided that the decision reached on the night is final. Both ND and NM will advance to Regionals and will both be representing the local region. Obviously, this result is not what I wanted, but I will make sure that we will beat ND hands down at Regionals and until then we can try and figure out for ourselves how they managed to tie with us, seeing as our performance was ten times better than theirs. Shelby finished with a small grin.
Sam stepped forward and cleared his throat. "Actually Miss Corcoran, I may be able to help you out there. I have been talking to Rachel and Quinn and we have together managed to figure out who got ND to tie with NM. When I pointed out to them when you were talking that I had overheard Tina and Artie explain to Mike how one of the judges liked their performance a lot, I asked Quinn to bring up the panel of judges on her phone, and low and behold a judge on their was called Chang. It turned out the Chang was Tina's dad. It was him who ordered the panel to tie NM with ND." Sam finished with a devious smile.
To Santana, this information was worth a fortune. It meant that now she could go all Lima Heights on ND because they had rigged the votes so that they wouldn't be thrown out of the competition. However she knew she had to be crafty to get them back, and upon discussing it with the rest of NM came up with the perfect way to get the cheaters back. She decided that Monday next would be when War would descend on William McKinley High School. In order for her to declare war she needed a few things and she needed to call in a few favours that she had collected over the past two years.
Firstly she gathered all of her ex-Cheerio teammates up and told them her plan and basically told them that if they didn't agree to help her, then they would be casualties. They agreed. Next she moved to the cafeteria where she spoke to the Slushie lady and asked her to prepare one hundred Slushies in random flavours for the following Monday. She also agreed as long as she was paid for it. Following on from that Santana made her way to the A.V club where she demanded that on Monday they follow ND everywhere and film and then post globally anything that happened to them. They agreed. Finally she went to Sue and asked her to approve everything that she was going to do. Sue agreed after being told what ND had done and wished Santana luck in her on coming war with ND.
"Oh Yes" Santana said to herself "This coming Monday war will be declared on ND and nothing would stand in her and NM way."
