The next day at Applejack's place, the Rainbooms were practicing their counter-spell. However, for some strange reason, Twilight's singing was slightly off-key. Sunset and Spike were beside the amplifier, which was a pretty big mistake. Sunset was the Rainbooms honorary tench-supervisor, so she was trying to see if there was a way to help with Twilight's singing, maybe make it sound slightly less well, like it sounded now.

Hey, hey, listen.

We've got a message for you

We're not all alike

But our friendship is true

Twilight's voice grew higher and Sunset was forced to lower the intensity and covered her ears.

It even made Vira, Elli, and Navi wince and cover their ears.

Yeah, we're really different

But we still get along

Fluttershy played her tambourine a bit louder to help, but Rainbow shook her head, telling her to stop and wait for the right moment

So hey, hey, listen to our song

Rainbow gestured to Fluttershy and she played her tambourine louder to help with Twilight's high pitched high note.

You may think you're in control

But we're here to prove you wrong

Applejack and Rarity could feel the ears appearing, but winced when the static of the mic hurt their ears. They turned to Pinkie Pie, who had briefly stopped playing, and the two narrowed their eyes at her and she continued playing even though she really didn't believe it would help.

Even outside, Granny Smith had to cover her ears with apple cores to cancel out the noise. Rainbow Dash played her guitar louder and saw her pony ears beginning to appear. Both Vira and Ellie look at one another and knew that this was not working.

And the friendship in our music

With the power of our song

Gonna stomp our feet, clap our-

"Okay, stop, stop! Stop, please, cut the music." Once they stopped playing, the possibility of Rainbow's ears disappeared. "What's the big idea, Vira? We were so close."

"You guys weren't even a millimeter close." Ellie said before turning to the human alicorn. "Twilight, what was that?"

"Um, singing?"

"Honey, that wasn't singing. That was like that one time Pinkie drag her hands down a chalkboard." Vira said trying to soften the blow to her telling Twilight truth gently

Twilight didn't even argue. She knew her singing was terrible. Spike tried his best to soften the blow, "Eh, it sounded... way better than the last... five times you've played it. Heh heh."

The human Big Mac passed by the window carrying a bucket of apples and said to the dragon dog, "Nnope."

"I think it's pretty obvious what's going wrong with this counter-spell." said Rainbow Dash.

"You're turnin' what should be the chorus into a five-minute guitar solo?" said Applejack while narrowing her eyes at Rainbow.

"I had to pick up the slack somehow! Are you girls even trying?!"

"I'm trying." said sweet Fluttershy.

And like many times before, Twilight was two seconds (maybe less) closer to having one of her infamous episodes. She nervously laughed.

"It's fine. It'll be fine. One more time from the top!"

Rarity then decided to take advantage of this situation.

"Or, perhaps we could take a short break, try on some of the wardrobe choices I've put together?" she pulled, surprisingly out of nowhere, a clothing rack and took out an outfit, "I'm particularly fond of this one." she pushed the rack aside to reveal a sparkly pink marching band-leader's feminine upper top over her casual cloths, "Eh, of course we could always go with something a bit more modern."

Applejack face palmed herself and groaned. Leave it to Rarity to care more about looks than what was important. "We're tryin' to save our school here. Enough with the costumes!"

"Oh, you could never have enough costumes!" she said while now wearing a futuristic, sparkly yellow jump suite, added with a helmet with flashing pixel diamonds on it and spoke in a robotic voice from underneath.

"She just wants to make things fun!" said Pinkie Pie before pouting, "Isn't that what being in a band supposed to be?" she played rimshot angrily.

"You don't have time for any of this!" said Sunset Shimmer, "You're supposed to check in at the Battle of the Bands in fifteen minutes!"

The others gasped in shock and realization. The five girls all rushed to gather up their instruments and make it to school on time, scattering all over the place collecting what they needed.

"What? But it's not ready!" Twilight exclaimed with worry, "If we play our counter-spell in the first round and it doesn't work, the sirens will know what we're up to and make sure we don't get a chance to play it again!"

They all screeeeeeched! to a halt. Twilight was right, they needed to have this spell ready and fast.

"Then we'll have to buy ourselves some time so you can keep workin' on it!" said Applejack.

"But how do you propose we do that?" Rarity asked.

Rainbow Dash said, "We compete in the Battle of the Bands for real! I take over lead vocals again and we stay alive until the finals! We unleash the counter-spell then!" she turned to Twilight "You'll have figured it out by finals, right?"

Twiligh looked unsure when Spike walked over and smiled confidently. "Of course Twilight Sparkle have never met a problem they couldn't solve. Right, guys?"

Twilight forced on a smile and said not so confidently, "Right."

"Then let's go win us a Battle of the Bands!" said Rainbow as she took the lead and the others followed, leaving Twilight and Spike alone to work on the counter-spell.

"Thank you so much for Spike for adding more pressure on her." Vira said sarcastically at the dog.

"Oh, come on! Twilight have handled way worse stuff than this." he said confidently

Twilight sighed and placed her back onto the wall before sliding down and lowering her head. Vira and Ellie look at one another trying to come up with something to make the purple girl feel at ease. "I just don't know what's wrong with me." said the purple girl, "I've never had trouble with magic or spells before, and my singing was awful, which you know never happens. I-I'm tentative, I'm out of sync, I just can't seem to do this right."

"Twilight, I get you're trying your best to help the girls and I, but maybe you need to slow down a bit. You're getting work up and we're worried." Ellie said

"And you don't get like that?" Twilight ask them

Vira was silent. It was true, there were hundreds of times in which Vira wished she could revert back to the way she use to be. But deep down she knew, how the pressure can to her

"Twilight I know the feelings about the pressure of taking charge and try to solve a problem. I mean you are talking about a fellow princess who know the idea of feeling pressure and Ellie also feels the pressure of being my bodyguard, your not alone" Vira said then putting her hands on Twilight

"We have to get this spell right. Will you help me?"

" of course we will. we're here for you."

LATER AT SCHOOL

"Welcome to the first ever Canterlot High School Battle of the Bands."

Principal Celestia and her sister stood on the stage in the gymnasium as a whole crowd of students and contestants lined up, ready to compete. Their desire to be the best burned within them.. but their desires were fueled by greed and envy. Even the Principals were not aware of the change in their students, still being under the influence of the Dazzlings' spell.

"I believe I speak for everyone when I say it is by far the greatest thing we have ever done here at this school!"

The students all cheered.

"We are so glad our three newest students encouraged us to turn this event into something exciting!"

Adagio, Aria and Sonata smiled arrogantly and waved from the top of the bleachers at their adoring public like the divas they were. Soon, this is how the world world will be like. Vice-Principal Luna took the mic, "But, as this is now a competition, we can only choose one winner. Who is it going to be?"

The students all argued with one another. Friend turned against friend. siblings against siblings. As their care and love for each other had faded away, being replaced by nothing but anger and mistrust which manifested into the green mist that was absorbed into the red pendants of the Dazzlings.

Adagio smiled, "You feel that, girls? Our true power is being restored." Aria and Sonata giggled with glee when the doors of the gym opened and the Rainbooms entered.
Adagio silenced the two, "And that's before we've tapped into the strongest magic here." she said as she look down on the Rainbooms, all looking nervous all except for two.

That girl with the powerful voice was present. Just the sight of her made Adagio's blood boil over. This one little pest was a threat to their plans along with that white red hair girl. If they were going to succeed, they needed to make sure this girl and her friend was out of the picture. So long as they remained, the Rainbooms had a fighting chance against them. She knew this for a fact, but there was something very interesting about her. The way she stays so calm, confident, and has so much determination.
She also sense some sort of magic on her. But she just couldn't put her finger on it.

"But the Rainblossoms, or whatever they're called, aren't under our spell." Aria mentioned, "How exactly are we supposed to get to their magic?"

"And what about that blonde pink girl?" Sonata asked, "I mean, did you see the way she talked back to Adagio? That must have been sooooo humiliating for you. Nobody, and I mean nobody has ever talked back to you. But she did!" the more Sonata spoke, the more and more red Adagio's face became, "Plus, her hair is pretty awesome! I wonder where she get its done?"

"SHUT UP!"

Sonata flinched and her irises shrunk in fear at seeing Adagio so infuriated. She slowly calmed herself down and glared at the competition down below, "The Rainbooms are just as capable of falling apart as anyone else. They just need a little... push in the wrong direction. I have a feeling everyone here is going to be lining up to give them a shove."

As the Rainbooms prepared themselves for the audition, Vira and Ellie looked up and spotted the Dazzlings. Their eyes narrowed at the sight of them. Vira eyes locked on Adagio, who gave her the most intimidating look she could give, but both of them just ignore them and turn their head back with an neutral expression.

"What about her?" Aria asked, "We all know she's going to be a problem."

"Oh don't worry, She won't get in our. And if she does, we've can brainwash her and her friend"

The auditions began and the first up were Snips and Snails. The two were a hip-hop duo, they even looked the part. With hoddies, backwards hats, medallions and those glasses with no lenses. They were beatboxed, but it was done very, very poorly.

Snails;

Aw, yeah! Snips and Snails indahouse, yo!

Snips;

They call me MC Snips and that ain't no lie

My favorite food is like pumpkin pie

Snails;

I'm DJ Snazzy Snails, I like whales

When I go to the beach, I always bring my pails

The Rainbooms, Vira, and Ellie watch and winced at their performance. Althought, Pinkie Pie was dancing and actually enjoying the show.

Vira and Ellie look at her with an strange expression but they shook their heads, 'It's Pinkie Pie, don't question it.' Both thought in unison

All of the other students simply shook their heads, rolled their eyes or winced in disapproval. Even the Principals disliked the performance while Aria and Adagio snickered at how bad it was. But Sonata was nodding her head, enjoying it like Pinkie Pie.

Snips;

Everybody knows my favorite color is orange

My rhymes are so fly, you better... uh... um...

Snails;

Orange, yo!

Snips;

Yeah!

Snails;

Yeah!

Snips;

Represent!

(beatboxing and freestyling poorly)

Snips;

Bam! That just happened!

Snails;

Aw, yeah! We out!

Snips;

Snips and Snails outta here!

They both dropped their microphones, which caused a screeching sound, forcing everyone to cover their ears from the annoying sound except for Celestia and Luna who remained unfazed.

"Please do not drop the microphones."

The two friends were completely unaware of how horrible their act was, but they none the less high five and left the stage, passing near the Rainbooms.

"In your face, Rainbooms!"

Vira arched an eyebrow at this. "What was that they were trying to do?" she asked.

"It's called Rap." said Applejack.

"That was really REALLY bad"

The other Rainbooms looked at one another agreeing with Vira.

"Least we know one group who won't stand in the way of us gettin' to the finals." said Applejack.

"Let's get ready to rock!" said Rainbow Dash with all the confidence she had, But Pinkie Pie then noticed that one of them was missing.

"Wait! Where's Rarity?"

"Here! I'm here!" Rarity came running and panting as the metal fringes on her ankles and jacket shimmered and clang against one another. She was wearing a hippie inspired outfit added with a headband and sandals. She proudly flipped her hair, striking a pose as the fringes jangled. The others remained silent.

"We will be performing in front of an audience. I'm not going to wear something fabulous?"

Applejack face palmed herself and grunted while Ellie and Vira smiled at Rarity's new look. "I think it's very you, Rarity." They both said kindly, making the white girl smile.

"Thank you, Vira and Ellie. At least somebody appreciates my vision."

Vira hug Twilight "Good Luck out there Twilight. I know all of you will sound great."

Twilight accepted the hug hesitation. "Thanks."

Twilight stood at the mic while the girls readied their instruments.

Twilight instructed to the others, covering her mic with her hand so no one else heard what she said, "Remember, we have to be good enough to make it through but not so good we let the sirens see the magic within us. They could realize we plan to use it against them."

"Got it!" said Rainbow Dash, "Be cool enough to win, but not so cool that we end up showing off the whole ears and tails and rainbows thing. Sooo... about twenty percent less cool. I can totally pull that off."

Vira who stood in bckstage rolled her eyes, "We're doom ." she said in a deadpan tone as Ellie put a hand on her shoulder trying get cheer her up.

As the same time, Sunset put her hand on Vira's other shoulder. Vira smile at what both are trying to do, but Sunset and Vira blush really red as they become a stuttering mess but stop when they hear Pinkie.

Pinkie Pie tapped on her drum sticks, "One! Two!" The music played and the girls began singing in union.

We've just got the day to get ready

And there's only so much time to lose

Because tonight, yeah, we're here to party

So let's think of something fun to do

Vira and Ellie bobbed their head to the beat. Her worry melted away, as she now had hope that nothing can go wrong. Little did she know, something was go wrong.

We don't know

(we don't know)

What's gonna happen

We just know

(we just know)

It's gonna feel right

All our friends are here

And it's time to ignite the lights!

As they sang, up above them on the catwalk, Photo Finish and her two bandmates lowered down two magnets on strings towards Rarity. The metal fringes on her jacket were immediately pulled up and Photo Finish began playing with the magnets, causing Rarity to look like a puppet on strings. Vira who was backstage look up and saw Photo Finish and her two bandmates catwalk. She and Ellie sent Spike and Navi to go up there and see if they can stop them

Shake your tail 'cause we're here to have a party tonight

Shake your tail, shake your tail

While Photo Finish fooled around with poor Rarity, Applejack arced her eyebrows at the scene. 'Just what was she doing?'

Rarity struggled to break free from the magnets hold but it was futile.

Shake your tail 'cause we're here to have a party tonight

Shake your tail, shake your tail

Twilight Sparkle;

So what you didn't get it right the first time

From the audience, Apple Bloom called out, "Boring!" In an effort to make it fun, Pinkie shoot confetti from her drums.

Pinkie Pie;

Laugh it off, no one said it is a crime

Rarity struggled to get near the mic as she sang. While Applejack shook away the confetti on her shirt.

Rarity;

Do your thing, you know you're an original

Applejack;

Your ideas are so funny that they're criminal

The Rainbooms;

Ohhh-ahh!

One of the confetti pieces flew into Twilight's mouth, causing her to cough. Fluttershy slapped her back and the paper immediately came out. Among the audience, Twilight saw Flash glaring at her as he and his bandmate left.

The Rainbooms;

We've just got the day to get ready

And there's only so much time to lose

Because tonight, yeah, we're here to party

So let's think of something fun to do

Spike and Navi reached the catwalk, only to see Snips and Snails attempting to sabotage the act as well. The two laughed mischievously as they moved the spotlight .

Onto Fluttershy!

The shy girl stopped singing and playing her tambourine as she tried to escape the light.

We don't know

(we don't know)

What's gonna happen

We just know

(we just know)

It's gonna feel right

All our friends are here

And it's time to ignite the lights!

Spike growled and ran up to bite Snips right on his leg, causing him to trip over, only to grab onto Snip's shirt, which caused them both to fall onto the stage. The audience noticed them and the two chuckled nervously before zipping away. The whole time, despite the awkward moment, the girls never stopped singing. Fluttershy hid behind Pinkie Pie's drums, avoiding the light.

Shake your tail 'cause we're here to have a party tonight

Shake your tail, shake your tail

Then Navi flew to Photo Finish and her band and started to attack them with her beak and Talons. The three girls screamed in fear and ran away from the bird which Spike high five her as the girls left behind the strings which connected the magnets.

Shake your tail 'cause we're here to have a party tonight

Shake your tail, shake your tail

Shake your tail 'cause we're here to have a party tonight

Shake your tail, shake your tail

Rarity finally managed to pull away from the magnets hold, only to have her fringes and sleeves completely ripped off. Seeing this, she began to cry, her mascara running down her cheeks.

Shake your tail 'cause we're here to have a party tonight

Shake your tail, shake your tail

Shake your tail 'cause we're here to have a party tonight!

Vira face palmed herself. Their performance was terrible but, she knew the Rainbooms were not to blame.

The only two people who applauded for them were Celestia and Luna, who genuinely enjoyed the performance. Backstage, Rarity was still crying while Sunset Shimmer held Spike in her arms while Navi was on her shoulder.

Vira approached Sunset and the two animals as Spike whimpered sadly while Navi look disappointed at herself.

"Sorry guys. We tried to stop them." The two animals explain

Vira smiled scratching their heads, "I know Spike." she said as she locked eyes with Sunset and the two of them blush and became akward toward each other since what happen last nigh still lingering on their minds, but were inturped by Rarity

"Ruined! Absolutely ruined!" Rarity weeped while wiping away her mascara from her eyes.

Applejack put her base down, "Rarity, were you tryin' to make us lose out there?!"

"Wh- Oh! This was not my fault! This was an act of sabotage!"

"She's right." Vira stepped in, "Some of the other contestants were the ones who did all this. It wasn't her fault." She triend to explain, but Applejack was being stubborn, "Yeah, well, either way, this couldn't have happen if Rarity didn't insist on dressin' like... like this!" she gestured to Rarity's clothing, "We need to sound good! Is there some reason that concept seems to escape you?"

As the two argued, Vira Ellie Sunset and Twilight all shared worried looks.

"And what was with the confetti, Pinkie Pie?" said Rainbow Dash while waving a piece of orange confetti in her hand, "How am I supposed to shred if there's paper stuck in my frets?!"

"It was pretty distracting " said Fluttershy.

Pinkie scoffed, "Ugh! Says the girl who was running from a light the whole time! A light!"

The girls immediately stopped their bickering when Ellie whistled loudly. "Enough! I get that we're all pretty stressed out right now, but arguing isn't going to help us defeat the Dazzlings. If we can't break the spell the dazzling have on the student, we'll fail and we can't let that happen. Please guys, don't make it worse!"

The five girls lowered their heads in shame. Ellie was right, there is not of arguing with each other. They need to focus on the real task if they were going to stop the sirens.

"Not like it'll matter." said Rainbow, "Because of those jerks, we stunk!"

"You still sounded much better than most of the other bands." said Sunset Vira Ellie Navi nodded their heads, "I'm sure you'll make it to the next round. But it won't matter if you don't have that counter-spell ready."

At the mention of this, Twilight winced in worry. Even Vira and Ellie looked a bit concerned.

"You all find a place to practice where the sirens can't hear you. I'll keep an eye on things around here."

Another band came out on stage. It was Derpy and her band. However, their instruments consisted of a cowbell, a triangle and a saw. Vira and Ellie looked at them in confusion as Vira placed a hand on Sunset's shoulder, "Good luck with that."

The seven girls walked down the halls looking for a good place to practice. As they walked Twilight, once again, bumped into the human Flash Sentry. He was leaning on the hallway lockers along with his two bandmates. Twilight smiled nervously as she dusted her skirt.

"Ha, ha, we really need to stop bumping into each other like this." she said, Vira roll her eyes.

'Boy, she must really like him He won't stop talking about her.' Vira was pull out of her thought when she notice something Flash did.
He turned to his bandmates, ignoring her.

"Uh, you guys hear something?"

The bandmates shook their heads and said no. Twilight looked at him in confusion. "I said, we have to stop "

"There it is again. So annoying."

This was indeed strange for Ellie, Vira, and Twilight to see Flash behaving so so cruelly.

"Why are you acting like this?" Twilight asked, "I thought we were friends."

Flash Sentry turned to look at her, his eyes burning with anger, "Yeah, and then you decide to come back here just so you can beat me in the Battle of the Bands. I want this, Twilight, and you're trying to take it from me! Some friend."

'Princess It no use, he is under their spell there is noting you could do break. Just focus on defeating the Dazzlings your friend Flash will be fine' Vira listen to what the mysterious voice said.

She knew this wasn't how Flash acted 'Yeah sure he's under their spell, but it still hurts considering it was still him saying all of that.'

"That's not why-" but before Twilight could say another word, Elli stepped forward and jerk Flash's arm behind him.

"Hey! What are you-" the boy felt arm behind him. Ellie was took him on with no effort at all. His bandmates wanted to interven but they knew better than to mess with Ellie

"Listen here you guitar playing idiot, you have no right, I repeat, no right to talk to my friend that way! If i were you, I would apologize to her right now!"

"She's the one who's taking what's mine!" he protested, despite having one arm behind him as Ellie began to raise it hurting him more.

Flash was terrified of Ellie, but before she could do anything, Vira stop her.

Vira shook her head no and mouth the word 'Mysterious voice said the Spell is too strong' Ellie fully understood what Vira meant and she gently get go of him. Vira grabbed all of them and left

"Come on, girls. There is no use of us Fighting with them"

Twilight looked at Flash one last time. "You really think you're gonna help them?! Ha! I bet you have no idea what you're even doing!" he said as he rubbed the arm Ellie hurt

As they walked away from him, Vira placed a hand on Twilight's shoulder, "You know he's not himself, right? it because the spell that making him act like this"

"I know but It's still hurts." it wasn't that he yelled at her that hurt, it was what he said. He was right, she really didn't know what she was doing. As they walked, tears fell from her eyes. Away from their view, the Dazzlings smiled wickedly at the scene.

Adagio chuckled, "Tears already? This is only the first round."

Aria and Sonata laughed at Twilight's expense when Celestia's voice was heard through the intercom. "The next band to take the stage will be Trixie and the Illusions."

Adagio took the lead, "Better head back. We're supposed to go on after Trixie." The Dazzlings made their way backstage, only to confront a certain former unicorn leaning against the wall, her arms crossed and her face partly covered by a shadow. She stood before them, her cyan eyes glaring.

"You're never gonna get away with this."

"Why? Because you didn't?"

Sunset remained silent. Just what was this siren trying to say? Adagio walked around her slowly, like a shark circling it's pray, waiting for the right moment to attack. "Oh, we know all about you, Sunset Shimmer. You've got quite the reputation at Canterlot High."

"I've changed! I'm in a much better place now!" Sunset exclaimed in defense. Aria followed her leader's example and also walked around Sunset like a shark.

"Waiting in the wings while your friends have all the fun?"

Adagio smirked, "Oh, yes, you girls are so tight. And yet... they didn't ask you to be in the band."

"Probably afraid no one will want to see them play if she was in the group."

Sunset didn't want to believe what they were saying, she refused. But were they right?.

Sonata was the last one to mock her, "Too bad! So sad!"

"If it's any consolation, no one is going to remember you at all by the time we're done especially that little blonde pinkie friend." Adagio said

"You leave her out of this! Sunset yelled standing her ground, the anger growing in her at the last comment.

"I think we struck a cord" Aria said

Sunset s fist clenched and was practically seething at this point.

"Don t worry though, we ll take good care of your little Vira once we figure out how to break into her barrier in her mind, we won't hurt her...much", Adagio stated as she and her sister bashed past Sunset.

Then Sunset angryly punch the wall beside her.

"They're wrong, you know." Spike said. He and Navi remained with Sunset to keep her company, "They're just trying to get under your skin."

Sunset signed as she sat on the ground.

"Yeah well it's working. Maybe they're right. I've just made too many mistakes to change my ways now. They know about Vira having some magic on her and it equally strong like Equestrian magic.
I want to protect her, but I don't how. I really like Vira and I want to tell her...but... every time I try I can still see that that monster I used to be. Laughing and taunting me."

"You know, the girls won't let them near her. So I wouldn't worry about it and beside if they hurt her, we'll be there to protect. I know for a fact your be the one to protect the most" Navi said teasing at the last word

"Thanks, Guys." Sunset smiling at them as she pet both of them

'Don't worry Vira, I won't let them get to you I'll protect you with bit of my soul, heart, and body' Sunset thought determinedly

TBC...

WILL TWILIGHT AND THE GIRLS BE ABLE TO STOP THEM? WILL SUNSE BE ABLE TO PROTECT VIRA? OR WILL SHE FAIL?
