Hello, everybody! Welcome to the Friendship Games! I'm sure you're just as excited as I am to get things started with this monster of a fanfic, considering that's it's bases right off of the "Equestria Girls: Friendship Games" movie. But before we go into a whole lot of detail, I'd like to make a few things perfectly clear.
One, Naruto Uzumaki, Rex Salazar, Gingka Hagane, and Ash Ketchum will NOT be appearing in this story. As awesome as it'd be to have all the current Omni Force members gathered together in another Equestria Girls movie story, I think it'll be too much to have every one of them in, especially with Avatar Korra still in rehab at this time. Plus, adding extra characters just makes things all the more confusing.
Second, the new characters that are going to be here with Ben Tennyson will be Natsu Dragneel, Rook Blonko, and Hinata Hyuga. For those of you who haven't read my previous fics, I'll just stick to the point and give you some quick details.
Natsu is a fire wizard from the Fairy Tail guild, also knowing how to use dragon slayer magic. He's a feisty dude with a competitive spirit, and loves challenging anyone to a fight. He might be rash, but when things get serious, he gets serious. And don't ever mess with his friends, or you're messing with his flames.
Rook is an alien known as Revonnahgander from Ben's universe, being a Plumber agent that was recently promoted to Magister rank. He is a master of Revonnah Kai, his fighting technique, and is equipped with the extra handy Proto-Tool, which can transform into practically any weapon he can. He is also in a relationship with Sunset Shimmer.
Lastly, Hinata is a Byakugan user from Naruto's universe, capable of utilizing the Gentle Fist from her clan's heritage. She fights using that technique through her palms, having developed her own attacks that can be pretty powerful. She is also very shy, and has a gigantic crush on Naruto Uzumaki.
With those descriptions done, I'd like to give out another reminder to you guys: LEAVE ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE FOR ME OR THE CHARACTERS OF THIS STORY! THE Q&A SESSION IS GOING TO HAPPEN BEFORE EVERY CHAPTER FROM NOW ON!
Now, as to why we're doing a prologue to this story… You'll find out. With all that said, it's time to get started with "Friendship Games: The Omni Force Crossover"!
FRIENDSHIP GAMES
THE OMNI FORCE CROSSOVER
The city of Bellwood was bustling with noise as people were out and about, driving along the streets, walking across the sidewalks, or just hanging around the general area as the evening sky shined with stars. It appeared to be a rather normal day in the urban area, which was rare considering the actions of their local hero. Far from the busy area filled with citizens, the suburbs remained rather quiet as just a few kids ran by the local shops in the area. One of them was a small, yellow building with a sign that said "Max's Plumbing" just above the door. Inside, all sorts of sanitation tools were strewn about, organized upon shelves, walls, and within the display case of the countertop. Beyond the supplies themselves, and past a green curtain was a door to a bathroom with just a toilet and a sink. Beneath the hard floors of the somewhat grotesque lavatory, an elevator with a strange, green hourglass symbol on top of it was speeding down the corridor, heading to the bottom of what was formerly the large Plumber HQ, which was now a metal room with a large, round, green glowing platform upon its floor. A human officer exited out from the elevator, running over to the dais as others were boarding it as well.
"Agent Aldres to base," he called out, "Ten to transport," he added. Suddenly, in a flash of bright light, he and all of the other men with him vanished, leaving no trace of their presence. Out in the depths of space just above the Earth itself, the Plumber HQ station floated, within the orbit of the planet below as it span slowly like a moon. Inside, the same Plumbers who had disappeared rematerialized upon another round platform, quickly hopping down from it as they headed out to their duties within the base separately. All the agents there, ranked high and low, were working hastily at their positions, making sure to do them to absolute perfection. Further within the station, someone was lying down upon the plush, red couch, having his arms outstretched across the soft surface, watching a show that featured sumo wrestlers on the television before him. It was Ben Tennyson, who had his trademark black shirt with a green stripe that included the number ten in white lettering on his chest. However, something about his physique had changed rather drastically. He seemed to have a more muscular build upon his upper body and arms, and had grown almost a half a foot taller. Letting out a tired yawn, he continued to enjoy the program he was viewing, grinning with droopy eyes.
"Ah…" he sighed, "This is the life…" he uttered out of satisfaction, feeling completely relaxed upon the plush surface. Suddenly though, the screen of the television blanked out in a flash, causing him to instantly widen his eyes and sit upright. "Hey!" he shouted, angered that his show was turned off. He then turned his head to see his alien partner, Rook standing behind him, holding a remote in his hands as he was wearing his trademark Proto-Tech armor, with his Proto-Tool mounted upon his left shoulder.
"So fighting criminals has become mundane as well?" he guessed, raising an eyebrow in suspicion as he grinned.
"Uh, heh, heh," the Omnitrix bearer chuckled in response as he stood up from his seat, showing that his height almost reached that of the Revonnahgander's as he turned to face him, "Well, when you've seen how your entire universe got created," he began, "you tend to get a little bored…" he admitted, scratching the side of his head sheepishly.
"So everything after what we had witnessed…" the Magister started to realize, "was not as entertaining to you?" he questioned.
"Nope," Ben replied, crossing his arms in defiance.
"Not even our battles against the demons of Tartaros in Natsu's universe?" his partner asked him.
"Nope," he answered again.
"Not even the fight against Lysandre and Team Flare from the universe Ash is from?" Rook questioned.
"Nope," he responded, "And before you say anything else," he interjected just as the extraterrestrial was about to bring up another recent event, "there's nothing possible that can outdo what we saw," he stated.
"Eh… true," the Revonnahgander agreed, stroking his chin, which now had a small beard growing upon it, "We did witness the creation of this universe with some very special people," he recalled.
"Our girls," the Omnitrix bearer noted, walking over to his partner, "And we're gonna be seein' 'em again tomorrow after a whole month!" he added, placing his right arm around his partner's shoulders as they began to walk out of the lounge room.
"It is indeed exciting to see them after that long," he concurred, but then gave off an anxious expression, "Though, I am uncertain as to how the other girls will react," he confessed.
"What do you mean?" his partner asked, raising an eyebrow in confusion, relinquishing his arm in the meantime.
"Well…" the Magister began to respond, "this is the first time I am going to Sunset's universe," he noted, "The thing that concerns me is the fact that I am not human," he admitted, much to the surprise of his comrade, who widened his eyes, "I do not know if her friends will accept me into the group…" he added as they arrived at the doorway to the station's monitor room.
"Rook, relax," Ben reassured as the sliding accesses opened, while the two colleagues faced each other, "I went alien in that universe dozens of times, and I got a lotta fame for it," he told him with a smirk, "I bet the girls'll love seeing you in action," he mentioned, "And they'll totally like you!" he exclaimed in addition.
"That is kind of you to say," the Revonnahgander replied, "But… I am still concerned," he admitted, much to the dismay of the Omnitrix bearer as he developed a worried expression, "I do not want my appearance to isolate Sunset from the rest of her friends…" he said, "I am different, after all," he pointed out to him.
"Partner, that's not gonna-"
"HELP!" a voice cried out, interjecting the brunette teen's sentence as both he and his comrade looked out to see green laser beams being shot out all across the area. They then noticed some of the Plumbers running away from figures that looked like samurai, armored in silver and black clothing, wearing helmets that had purple, tinted visors, and carried glowing purple, power swords as weapons, swinging them at officers, slicing their blasters into pieces. Ben and Rook gasped in shock as they realized who they were.
"Eon…" the former of the two muttered, narrowing his eyes in seriousness as he clenched his fists angrily.
PROLOGUE
Hollering sounds of retreating agents filled the area of the monitor room as their weapons were getting destroyed by the blades of the samurai. Looking on at the conflict from afar, the Omnitrix bearer and the alien Magister clenched their teeth, showing immediate worry to the situation before them.
"How were both Eon and his minions able to get into the Headquarters?" the latter of the two asked as he dismounted his Proto-Tool from his left shoulder, readying it in his hands.
"Time traveler and dimension jumper, remember?" his partner responded rhetorically, causing him to blink as he recollected the memory, "Don't know who he's teamed up with this time," he began to say as he tapped the lid of the device on his wrist, causing a small, holographic, circular screen with icons of alien faces to appear over it, "but I know they're not getting away with anything!" he declared, scrolling through the index of faces until he came across one with a pointed head. The lid then slid forward after a second, allowing the core dial to pop up. While the Revonnahgander had transformed his weapon into a power sword with its glowing orange blade, his comrade smacked the palm of his right hand against the dial his contraption, creating a green flash of light as he began to transform. When it vanished, the luminosity revealed him as a humanoid Velociraptor-like extraterrestrial with a black tail that had blue stripes, a blue face including green eyes and black lips, a pointed head that was like a helmet, and black balls on his blue feet that looked like wheels. On top of that, the Omnitrix symbol was on his chest, over a green color on his shirt.
"Hey, samurai-loser-guys!" he cried out mockingly, catching their attentions as they turned to see him there with his partner, "Ready for a speed run?" he questioned sarcastically, dashing off in the blink of eye, knocking into them one by one in almost a millisecond. Rook then ran out, swinging out his blade as it collided with two others from his enemies. He gnashed his teeth together as he was at a stalemate with them, sliding back slightly as the force against him was quite strong. However, he planted his right foot onto the metal floor, letting out a battle cry as he used all of his strength, knocking the two minions back as their weapons were flung out of their hands.
"Huh…" he sighed out of relief, but then saw more adversaries charging towards him. Reacting quickly, he twisted the green, hourglass symbol upon his weapon, causing it to glow a bright green.
"SPLIT FUNCTION ACTIVATED," a voice from it suddenly stated as it began glowing a bright orange all around it, creating a symmetrical shape of the Proto-Tool. The Magister then pulled the contraption from opposite sides, making it divide into two of the exact same weapon, each transforming into a smaller shape. While the one in his right hand remained as a power blade, the other was shifted into an energy shield, which he used to knock down the first of the oncoming opponents. He then raced out at the others, using his weapons to both block attacks, and then deliver them right back, striking the servants of the time walker to the floor in a heap. Meanwhile, XLR8 had just smashed one against the wall with his blinding speed, causing him to fall over onto the floor in a heap. The x-shaped, blue visor upon the Kineceleran came up, allowing him to grin cheekily at his accomplishment.
"Ben!" a voice called out from above, enticing him to look up and see Max Tennyson on the floor above him, along with three other Plumbers dealing with more of the minions.
"Hang on, grandpa!" he yelled back in reassurance, sprinting up in an instant, dashing right past all of the enemies as they were flung into the air, falling down in a heap. The Velociraptor-like alien stopped right before the human Magister, who blinked in astonishment at him. "See?" he questioned, "Nuthin' to it," he gloated. Suddenly though, he heard the sound of more swords being drawn, making him turn around to see dozens of more foes coming out of a swirling, purple vortex. "Aw, man…" he groaned, having his visor come back down over his face before he lunged forward again, knocking into the opponents before they could even react. However, as there were more of them, the began surrounding the area quickly, with Plumbers trying to fight them off with their blasters. Below, Rook smacked another adversary with the energy shield in his left hand, knocking him down as he looked up to see his allies struggling to keep up with the oncoming servants that kept coming through the portal.
"Ben!" he shouted to the speedy extraterrestrial as he was kicking down more of the minions in the face with his wheeled feet, "You need to close off that portal!" he told him loudly.
"Don't ya think I know that?!" he screamed back, not paying attention for a second as a foe punched him in face, causing him to fall to the floor on his face in a heap, grunting in pain, "Okay…" he groaned, pushing himself off of the floor as his visor came up, "Time for a timeout!" he declared, using his right hand to slap the Omnitrix symbol upon his chest. In a green flash of light, his body began morphing again, becoming large, round, and metallic. When the luminosity vanished, it revealed him as a robot-like alien with skin that was made of copper, with black stripes and a transparent piece of green circular glass on his chest where the Omnitrix symbol was, revealing gears inside of him within the clear surface behind it. There were holes on the protrusion on his head, and piece of glass was in the shape of a hexagon. On his back, he had a black stripe that split into two stripes, with a keyhole between them.
"And now for a little clock-verking!" he exclaimed in his thick accent, standing up and throwing his arms out, firing beams of green light from them at the minions. They hit, causing them to suddenly freeze in place, as they were about to lunge at the Chronosapien. "Heh," he laughed.
"Good thinking, Ben," his grandfather complimented while the bio-mechanical alien walked forward, passing the frozen servants as he stood in front of the swirling rift. The gears within his body began rotating quickly before he let out a giant beam of green light from his chest, making contact with the portal, and causing it to disappear in a flash of light. At the same time, all the enemies began vanishing in purple flashes as well, much to the surprise of the human Magister and his fellow officers. Below, the servants around the Revonnahgander went away as well, making him narrow his eyes in thought as he reconnected his Proto-Tool to its original form. He then hurriedly ran up to his partner and his allies, mounting the weapon upon his left shoulder.
"It appears that the portal was the only thing able to keep the soldiers within this time period," he noted, "But I doubt that includes Eon," he pointed out.
"Right," Clockwork agreed, "We need to find him," he stated with a clenched right fist.
"How?" his partner asked with a raised eyebrow, "Knowing him, he could be anywhere within the base…" he mentioned, rubbing his chin as he pondered the time walker's location.
"I've got an idea," the Chronosapien responded, "Don't if it'll verk…" he admitted, "but it's verth a shot," he stated, as the protrusion upon his head began to spin counter-clockwise, while his mind began searching throughout the complex of the station, flashing from area to area until he caught sight of a figure within a small room, which had blue lines aplenty on the walls, including a central pillar shaped like a hexagon, reaching all the way up to the ceiling. He gasped in realization, catching the attentions of his comrades.
"Did you find him?" Max asked.
"He's in the storage vault!" Clockwork answered in exclamation, "Rook, come on!" he beckoned, running off as quickly as he could, with his partner following him. Down in the small room that was within the laboratory, the time walker himself lurked, having a black helmet with a purple visor upon his head, making his face visible through it as it appeared repulsive, being long and thin, with a wide mouth, greyish skin, a flattened nose, dark lines under his eyes, and thin, black lips. He wore silver gauntlets and boots, and also silver shoulder pads on his black jacket. With that, he was sporting a black bodysuit, which had some purple lines and a silver collar that covered his entire neck. He was standing in front of the central pillar of the vault, as a panel upon it slid out, with steam billowing from it.
"There it is…" he uttered with widened eyes, reaching his right hand into the small cloud of steam, pulling out an object that was mainly navy blue in color, and had a red, glowing center, "The Nega-MPG…" he noted, holding the small, oval-shaped device in his appendage while he used his left to pull out something from his jacket, being a small, silver and purple microchip. He put the CPU right beside the contraption, which then opened up a small port, allowing him to plug it in. All of a sudden, it began to glow in an ominous, purple light, making him grin wickedly in success. Just then, the sound of someone banging on the vault door caught his attention, causing him to gasp and turn around, seeing the metal access go flying and hit the central pillar, falling down with a thud. He looked at the entrance to see a crystalline-bodied alien, with pale green crystals forming over his head and his arms. There were also two crystals shards sticking out of his back as his head was razor sharp. His clothing consisted of a black tank top-like shirt with a large green stripe down the middle, with a green belt that had the Omnitrix symbol upon it, and black pants down to his feet, where green was on the soles of them.
"All right, Eon," he began, forming his right arm into a crystal blade, "whatever you're tryin' to get, you're not getting," he stated with a serious glare, pointing the makeshift weapon at him. The Revonnahgander appeared as well, with his armament back in its original blaster mode, aimed at the time walker, who merely smirked.
"Ben Tennyson and Rook Blonko," he noted, "I assume you're expecting a 'partner' of mine to show up and reveal that he's the mastermind?" he guessed, raising an eyebrow as the two glanced at each other in surprise.
"Uh… maybe?" the Petrosapien responded unsurely, causing the pale skinned villain to cackle loudly, making his foes grit their teeth angrily.
"I've learned my lesson from trusting Vilgax and Maltruant," he told the two, "From now on, I'm working alone," he proclaimed, "Besides," he continued, "I've had a plan for a while now…" he mentioned with an evil grin.
"And what would that be?" Diamondhead asked, keeping his blade ready at his enemy's neck.
"Your collective end…" he replied coldly, suddenly vanishing in a flash of purple light, blinding the two heroes for the moment. When it dissipated, they both looked around, seeing no one within the room but them.
"Aw, man!" the crystalline-bodied alien groaned as he reformed his right arm, using his hand to smack himself in the face in utter agony, "I can't believe we didn't try and beat him to a pulp!" he exclaimed angrily, while his partner was examining the empty containment upon the central pillar.
"C twelve…" he uttered, rubbing his slightly bearded chin as he looked at the unit number next to it, while the Omnitrix symbol upon the Petrosapien began to beep, timing out in a green flash of light, transforming him back into Ben. He walked over to observe the empty panel as well, with a worried expression coming across his face. A day passed before they regrouped within the headquarters' monitor room, discussing the attack with Max.
"Looks like Eon didn't do much other than get into the storage vault," the human Magister noted, seeing that there was little to no damage to the base itself as Plumbers were still about, doing their jobs diligently.
"If he were planning to mount a full-scale attack on us," Rook began, "we would've had to deal with more of his servants," he pointed out.
"Not to mention that his plans are usually time based," his comrade mentioned, putting his right hand onto his chin, "That thing he stole probably has something to do with it," he suggested, getting his grandfather's attention as his eyes widened.
"So he did steal something…" he realized with a frustrated look as he crossed his arms.
"…Yes," the Revonnahgander answered with an ashamed look on his face, "The object he stole was in unit C twelve," he added, causing Max to instantly perk his head with start, gasping in shock.
"Oh no…" he muttered, placing his right hand upon his head in agony as he began to sweat nervously.
"Grandpa, what's wrong?" his grandson asked, immediately concerned for him, as was his partner, "What was in that vault?" he questioned, knowing that it had something to do with his current stress.
"That unit…" he uttered, "That unit was storing the Nega-MPG you retrieved from Yokai a while back…" he told them, causing them to both widen their eyes in complete disbelief.
"The… Nega-MPG?!" the alien of the two questioned.
"That means Eon's in…" the Omnitrix bearer began to realize, "Oh man…" he uttered in astonishment, with his eyes shaking in fright.
"Ben, this is really bad if Eon's on the loose in another universe," Max pointed out, "Not to mention, we won't be able to tell where he is if he's traveling between time and dimensions," he added with a serious look on his face.
"We gotta warn Hiro," his grandson noted, pulling out his MPG from his pocket.
"Wait a moment," Rook chimed in, stopping him from activating his device, "What does Eon have to gain by going to the universe of the Nega-MPG's inventor?" he asked, causing the two male humans to both raise their eyebrows in surprise, "It just does not make sense to me…" he admitted, shaking his head. Meanwhile, from afar behind the metal walls, the time walker grinned evilly as he watched his enemies try to figure out his scheme.
"Quite clever, Rook…" he complimented quietly, sitting himself down, "I don't have anything to gain from that world," he noted, taking his contraption out from his jacket, activating it as a purple, holographic screen appeared over it, showing off eleven different icons, with four bunched together, two attached, and the rest all spread out from each other, "However, I do gain from watching your every move," he noted to himself, narrowing his eyes on the four huddled icons.
"Guh…" Ben groaned, "Where's Paradox when we need him?" he questioned, folding his arms behind his head.
"He would likely be unable to assist since Eon is-"
"Probably in another universe, yeah…" his partner interjected in realization, sighing deeply, "Grandpa, what do we do?" he asked.
"For now, I guess sending out a message to all Omni Force members would be the best thing," the human Magister suggested, "Main and honorary," he added.
"Got it," his grandson responded, "I'll send out a message while we're out," he promised, much to the confusion of Max as he raised an eyebrow.
"Out where?" he questioned to him.
"In Rainbow's universe," he replied, activating the device in his hand as a holographic map appeared right over it, "We were planning on seeing her and Sunset for the Friendship Games," he told him, "It's that competition they're having against this… Crystal Prep school, right?" he guessed to his partner, who nodded in reply.
"Ben, I don't think now's the best time to-"
"If Hiro or anyone else calls about Eon," the Omnitrix bearer began in interruption, "I'll drop everything and head after him," he reassured.
"Huh…" his grandfather sighed, "Okay," he said, "You and Rook can enjoy your time down there," he began to them, "but once something comes up," he continued, "you need to get back here immediately," he stated.
"Got it," he responded, "Rook, you ready?" he asked the Revonnahgander as he pressed an icon upon his device, causing a green portal to suddenly appear behind them, with its vortex swirling slowly.
"Uh, actually…" he began to say, rubbing the back of his head nervously, "I… still need to get something before we head out," he told him, much to his surprise as he raised an eyebrow in confusion, "I will meet you there later," he reassured, smiling before he quickly ran off.
"All right then…" his comrade uttered, walking into the rift and vanishing through it. As the human Magister headed away while the portal closed off in a flash of light, Eon peeked out from behind the metal walls again, grinning.
"Well," he started to say as he pressed the bunch of four icons upon the holographic map of his own MPG, "let the games begin…" he uttered jokingly, as a swirling, purple vortex appeared before him, making him smile evilly. Before all of the events with the time walker had occurred, the previous day in the universe of Canterlot High School seemed incredibly quiet, with the sounds of birds chirping delightedly in the sky. It was a sunny summer afternoon, void of any more classes as students had left over an hour ago. However, an unease was in the wind as it breezed through the trees on the school grounds, causing the leaves to shake. All of a sudden, a figure leapt out of the large saplings, being a lean, muscular young man of average height with a slightly tan skin tone, black eyes, and spiky pink-colored hair. His outfit consisted of an open-collared, one-sleeved, gold trimmed, black waistcoat, which was zipped and tucked into his white, knee-length trousers. The sleeve was on his left arm as he had a thick, black wristband on his right. He had a red mark just below his shoulder, along with a scale-patterned scarf around his neck, topped off by open-toed sandals upon his feet. He threw his hands out, as he ignited and enlarge a massive fireball upon them.
"Fire Dragon…" he started to say, "… Brilliant Flame!" he exclaimed, throwing the giant, flaming meteor down towards the ground, where a girl was standing, having light amber skin, red hair with yellow streaks, pony ears, and a ponytail. She was wearing a black, leather jacket with rolled up sleeves that had an orange stripe on each one, over a light cerulean shirt with a silk, transparent, yellow skirt underneath it. Along with that, she sported light blue jeans upon her legs, and black, high heel boots over her feet. She stood her ground upon the grassy surface beneath her, throwing out her hands, making an energy shield in amber light suddenly appear before them, blocking the fireball from hitting her as it exploded. As the smoke from the blast dissipated, the magical barrier was still up in front of the girl while above, the dragon slayer grinned delightedly. "All right!" he shouted, landing onto the ground on his feet, "Now I'm fired up!" he declared, igniting his right fist with fire as he charged towards his opponent, who brought down her defense. She then reached into the left pocket of her jacket, pulling out a pair of sport glasses with red frames. Putting them on over her eyes, she pressed a button on the left side of them, causing green icons to suddenly appear upon the lenses. "Fire Dragon Iron Fist!" the wizard exclaimed, about to strike her with his flaming knuckles. Suddenly, she vanished in a flash of amber light, much to his surprise as he gasped, making the flames on his hand go out as he frantically searched for her. She then reappeared directly behind him, catching his attention as he turned around to see her about to kick him with her right leg in midair. Reacting quickly, he crossed his arms over his head, blocking the attack as he slid back across the ground, causing dust and dirt to build up while his foe landed down before him, getting into a battle ready stance. "Fire Dragon…" her adversary began again, catching her attention as her eyes widened, seeing his chest puff out, "…ROAR!" he exclaimed, launching a huge burst of flames from his mouth, heading straight for her. She quickly teleported herself away in another flash, avoiding the fire blast as it scorched the grass around her. Rematerializing beside a tree, she looked out and gasped to see the burning ground that her enemy had made.
"Natsu!" she yelled, causing him to turn his head and look, "We're just training," she told him, "not trying to scorch the place!" she pointed out angrily, developing an annoyed look upon her face as she crossed her arms.
"Heh, heh…" he laughed sheepishly out of embarrassment, rubbing the back of his head, "Sorry 'bout that, Sunset…" he apologized, "But I can't help it!" he admitted, "Fightin' you like this is gettin' me all fired up," he said, punching his left hand with his right fist, causing a small flame to spark from it.
"Huh…" his opponent sighed with a smile as she knew about his rambunctious and wild behavior, re-readying herself as she and the fire mage eyed each other in anticipation. From afar, another conflict was taking place as a figure leapt back onto the grass, being a girl who was wearing a light lavender, sleeveless kimono-style blouse with vertical lines, tied with a dark purple obi around her waist. She sported a pair of short dark navy shorts with thigh-high stockings, revealing parts of her upper thighs, and had black high-heeled boots upon her feet. Along with that, she had long, dark blue hair and fair skin. Her eyes had veins and arteries stimulated around them as she jumped back again, avoiding a kick from another girl below, who had light cerulean skin, pony ears, wings, and was wearing a short-sleeved blue jacket over a white shirt with a lightning mark, colored like a rainbow. She also sported rainbow colored bracelets and black sport shorts, along with blue, high top boots upon her feet. To top it off, her hair was colored like an actual rainbow as it was formed into a large ponytail. She dashed out at her opponent, launching more kicks at her while she redirected them, using her palms to do so. However, one attack managed to hit her at the left shoulder, causing her to lose her focus long enough for her foe to land another strike at torso, throwing her back across the field in a loud yelp. However, she managed to regain herself after she hit the ground once, skidding across it on her feet before coming to a stop, just as her enemy was charging towards her.
"Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm!" she cried out, reeling back her right arm and throwing it out, launching a blast of air from her hand right at her adversary.
"Whoa!" she exclaimed as she felt the wind from the attack hit, knocking her back as she fell to the ground, landing on her feet as she grinned, "Nice one, Hinata!" she complimented, causing the girl to stand up and blush slightly, flattered by her kind words. But she immediately retained her focus, eyeing the rainbow haired girl as she cracked her knuckles excitedly, staring right back at her. Beyond both conflicts, a group of four girls watched as the Omni Force members continued to spar with each other. Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy observed the battles with widened eyes out of surprise at the strength of their friends.
"Boy…" the cowgirl began as she tipped her hat up, "Ah doubt any of us thought the Omni Force'd have so many strong guys an' gals…" she noted, impressed.
"Agreed," her fashionista friend concurred, "Though… they're not exactly the most courteous…" she mentioned, pointing out the fire dragon slayer as he kept on charging towards Sunset with his wild, flaming fists.
"But when it comes right down to it," the shy girl began, getting their attentions, "they're getting so much better," she told them with a smile.
"That's true," the blonde-haired girl agreed, "And Rainbow, Sunset, and everybody else on the Omni Force are all protectin' the same thing," she added.
"Being the multiverse, of course!" the puffy haired girl chimed in, "And their undying loyalty to keep it that way!" she mentioned with a proud salute, making her friends giggle in agreement, "That said…" she continued, catching their attentions as she took a very deep breath of air, "COME ON, SUNSET AND RAINBOW!" she suddenly screamed aloud, causing the other three girls to cringe and cover their ears, "SHOW 'EM WHY YOU'RE OMNI FORCE MEMBERS TOO!" she cheered as they continued to duel. As she finished her moment of jubilation, she turned to her friends and blinked in surprise, seeing them somewhat stunned. "You okay, girls?" she asked with a raised eyebrow, unaware that she was the one who had astonished them as they glanced at her blankly. Back on the battlefield, the red and yellow haired girl slid across the ground, as did her opponent before they both came to a screeching halt.
"Fire Dragon…" he began, puffing out his chest and cheeks again, while his foe held out both of her hands, closing them into fists as they started to glow in a magical, amber light, "…ROAR!" he exclaimed, firing a huge burst of flames from his mouth towards her, while she fired a ray of luminosity at him. Both attacks intercepted one another, staying at a stalemate as both fighters held their ground. However, the female of the two began sweating nervously as she felt her feet slide back slightly.
"Ergh…" she grunted, desperately trying to push her adversary back. Meanwhile, the rainbow haired girl was engaged in close combat with the Hyuga girl, gritting her teeth as she felt her attacks all get redirected and blocked by the Gentle Fist user.
"Eight Trigrams…" she started to say, causing her opponent to widen her eyes, "…Air Palm!" she cried out, palming her enemy right in the stomach, making her cringe in pain as she flew back a few dozen feet, breathing heavily out of fatigue. She then looked behind herself to see her friend struggling to maintain her position against Natsu as his flames were pushing her magical beam of amber light back.
"Sunset!" the winged girl exclaimed, catching her attention as she looked to see her almost get struck by another attack from Hinata, who struck the ground instead, creating a large cloud of dust, much to the shock of the amber skinned girl.
"Rainbow!" she yelled out, "Switch!" she ordered, suddenly disappearing in a bright flash of light, letting her beam dissipate as the fire engulfed it.
"Got it!" the rainbow haired girl responded, dashing towards the dragon slayer as the cloud of dirt and dust cleared, revealing the Hyuga girl widening her eyes to see her opponent heading for her teammate. Before she could even attempt to follow her, the red and yellow haired girl appeared right in front of her in a flash, knocking her back with a punch to the torso by using her glowing her right fist, causing her to tumble back across the ground in a heap. However, she quickly got back up, readying her palms as she eyed her new opponent with a serious look, while she did the same. Meanwhile, the cerulean skinned girl dashed out at the fire mage, much to his surprise as his flames disappeared from his mouth.
"Wha-?!" His new foe kicked him right in the face with her right leg, interjecting his remark of surprise as he was sent careening back, rolling across the ground. He quickly got back on his feet, seeing her charging towards him. "All right…" he uttered excitedly with a huge grin, "Now we're talkin'!" he exclaimed, igniting his hands with flames, leaping out at her. Not too far from them, Sunset and Hinata were continuing to fight, with the latter of the two throwing out her palms, while the former blocked them with magical shields upon her hands. She then jumped back, reeling her arms back and stretched them forward, firing beams of amber light towards her opponent. However, she managed to cartwheel away from the rays that ended up striking the ground, landing on her feet as she re-prepared herself, taking a deep breath. Her hands closed into fists as she reeled her arms back, allowing a large, blue aura to suddenly encase them. As the dust before her cleared, Sunset was readying her own extremities as well, covering them in a brilliant, amber light. The aura upon her opponent's arms then formed into the heads of guardian lions, shrouding her fists. She then lunged toward her adversary as she did the same, both ready to launch their attacks.
"Gentle Step," the former of the two began, "Twin Lion Fists!" she cried out, as their fists collided, creating a massive burst of wind throughout the area, not only blowing the two fighters back, but also breezing by the girls, causing them to squint their eyes to avoid getting dust in them. Applejack then peeked out to see both girls standing firm at their positions on the ground, with the red and yellow haired girl removing her leather jacket, tossing it aside.
"Oh boy…" the cowgirl muttered as she cringed, "Looks like Sunset's gettin' serious…" she noted nervously.
"She's not the only one…" Pinkie chimed in, pointing towards the conflict of Natsu and Rainbow Dash. The former of the two was managing to endure the latter's quick strikes, crossing his arms over his head as a few minor bruises were becoming apparent upon them. Flames began to ignite in a massive aura his body as he unfolded his appendages, grinning greatly as his opponent was charging for him head on.
"Fire Dragon…" he began, leaping up into the air, much to her surprise, "…Sword Horn!" he exclaimed, head-butting her right in the chest, causing her to plummet to the ground, tumbling across it in a heap before coming to a stop on her belly.
"Ugh…" she grunted as the dragon slayer landed down as well, smiling confidently with a chuckle, making her glare at him, "Okay, that's it!" she declared angrily as she stood up, "No more messin' around!" she proclaimed, clenching her fists tightly. Suddenly, the air around her began to swirl wildly, as a bright light began to shine upon her. The bottom of both of her eyes developed lighting bolt marks that stretched out diagonally, and were upon her knuckles as well. Her hair began flowing with energy, just like an actual rainbow as it streaked down to her ankles, without a ponytail, and her wings brimmed with power, shining in multicolored light too. She stared down the fire mage as her eyes glowed a bright white, while he grinned excitedly.
"That so, huh?" he guessed, with his entire body flaming up in a fiery aura, "Then I guess I'll go all out too!" he suggested, with sparks of electricity appearing upon his magical cloak, "Lightning Flame Dragon Mode!" he declared with a yell, catching the attentions of the spectating girls, along with the other two fighters.
"Uh oh…" Fluttershy muttered in realization as she and her friends cringed in fear of the oncoming attack. Sunset looked out at Hinata, who merely nodded to her, causing her to do the same before they both ran towards the fight. Rainbow had just dashed up into the sky in practically the blink of an eye, much to the shock of the onlookers below. Suddenly, a sonic boom echoed above, creating a vibrantly-colored ring accompanied by a shockwave as a rainbow wake trailed behind the girl, who was charging towards her enemy, who continued sparking in his fiery electric aura.
"Dragon Slayer Secret Arts!" he yelled out as his right fist became encased in flames, while his left was cloaked in electricity, much to the horror of everyone else around him except for his foe, "Flame Lotus…" he began, swinging both arms back, ready to combine the two elements together as he jumped up, while someone was leaping toward him, "…Exploding Light-!" His attack declaration was interrupted as the Hyuga girl suddenly palmed him at the stomach, causing his aura to suddenly vanish as he plummeted to the ground, losing both the electricity and fire in his hands. The rainbow haired girl was surprised, but even more so as the red and yellow haired girl suddenly appeared before her in a bright flash of light. In another blaze, the girl transformed as well, sacrificing her ponytail for hair that streaked down to her ankles like a flame, colored in red, yellow, and orange. the marks of a sun appeared upon her knuckles and around her eyes, which glowed a bright white like her friend's. She then stuck her hands out, creating a massive energy shield in front of them that blocked the winged girl's attack, creating a bright flash of light before it dissipated, allowing them to both land safely upon the ground while the wind rushed throughout the area.
"Huh…" the Gentle Fist user sighed in relief, while the fire mage was lying upon the ground on his back, having a sickly expression as he was just struck at his weak spot. The spectators then came over as in bright flashes of light, their friends transformed back to normal, losing their pony ears, streaking hair, and marks. Rainbow's wings also vanished as well, while she rubbed her head in pain.
"Ugh…" she groaned as she stretched out her back, "What's the big idea, Sunset?!" she yelled to her friend, who stumbled back out of fatigue.
"Well, you and Natsu were just about to wreck the place!" she retorted with a grimace of pain, rubbing her right arm, "Besides, we're only trying to find a way to increase our fighting stamina…" she pointed out.
"Huh?" the rainbow haired girl uttered out of confusion, tilting her head to the side, causing the red and yellow haired girl to sigh in frustration.
"I mean we're training so we can fight longer in actual fights," she explained in an easier sense, "Get it now?" she questioned to her with an annoyed look upon her face.
"Oh, yeah," she realized in response as she blushed sheepishly out of embarrassment, "Heh, heh…" she chuckled nervously, rubbing the back of her neck, "Guess I… did overdo it…" she confessed, causing her amber skinned comrade to roll her eyes in frustration as she sighed.
"Gr…" Natsu growled as Hinata picked him up from the ground, as he was no longer looking ill, "Thanks a lot for that one…" he muttered to her as she retracted the veins around her eyes.
"S-Sorry…" she stuttered in apology, "But you can't just use your magic however you want…" she mentioned, "You could've destroyed the school!" she told him, pointing out the complex they were near.
"Jeez…" the dragon slayer muttered as he held his hands in front of his face in a placating manner, "I just wanted to give the girls a good fight…" he said, crossing his arms as he glanced off to the side.
"That's putting it rather mildly," Rarity commented as she came over with the rest of the girls, glaring at the pink-haired wizard as she had caught his attention, "Your flames could have scorched the entire block!" she screamed, putting her hands on her hips.
"Okay, I'm sorry!" he apologized in response, "Jeez.." he groaned as she continued to stare at him, "At least none of ya are like Erza…" he grumbled to himself.
"Are y'all okay?" Applejack asked, going over to Sunset.
"I think we're fine," she replied in reassurance, walking over and picking up her leather jacket from the ground, putting it on as she placed her right arm through the sleeve, "As weird as it is," she began, getting the other sleeve on as well, "I'm feeling a lot stronger from all this training," she admitted, looking at her right fist.
"That's a good sign," Fluttershy noted with a smile.
"Well, we're glad that you're getting stronger," the Hyuga girl commented as she walked over, placing her left hand on the red and yellow haired girl's shoulder.
"Heh," she laughed, "Thanks," she said out of gratitude, "And… I'm sorry if this is kind of a hassle for you to deal with…" she apologized.
"Oh, not at all!" the Gentle Fist user reassured with a smile, "The Leaf Village is just fine without me around," she told her.
"Well, what about mister dragon boy over there?" the cowgirl asked, gesturing towards Natsu, who was still talking with Rarity as Pinkie Pie and Rainbow had joined the conversation.
"Well…" Sunset began in reply, "he told us that he left Fairy Tail a month ago to train for a whole year," she told her, "So… he didn't mind coming here to train with us," she mentioned.
"Um… didn't Ben say he had a cat with him?" the shy girl asked, chiming in as she held a brown knapsack with an emblem of a sun upon it.
"Uh, heh, heh," the red and yellow haired girl giggled, "Yeah, he does," she responded, taking the bag from her friend as she threw the straps over her arms, "But he said Happy's not here 'cause he didn't wanna come," she noted with a slight chuckle.
"Looks like he's good with everyone else," Applejack noted jokingly as she glanced out to see the partier girl wrap her left arm around his shoulders as they were laughing aloud, along with the fashionista and the star athlete.
"Yeah," Sunset agreed, letting out a tired yawn, "Man, what a day…" she groaned, rubbing her eyes a little as she put her Proto-Glasses above them, "I'm gonna head home and get some shuteye…" she told her friends, starting to walk off, "Lemme' know if anything comes up!" she called out as she waved back to them.
"We will!" Rainbow promised in reply as she overheard her teammate, waving goodbye to her as well with the rest of the group. The sun continued to shine over the school grounds as the day had just begun.
END PROLOGUE
And that starts the story! Now, a couple of things to put into perspective. One, this takes place after the Tartaros arc in the Fairy Tail world, and in my headcanon perspective, it takes Natsu a few years rather than one before he returns to his friends.
Second, the chip that Eon inserted into the Nega-MPG from "Outlook" will be explained in a later chapter. All you need to know is that he's going to be the Ben 10 villain of this story. Also, Rook's double Proto-Tool function is based off of the Ben 10: Omniverse video game. Again, mechanics on that will be explained in later parts of the story.
Thirdly, a new chapter will be coming out likely once a weekend. Do not expect chapters to come out on weekdays unless I give out a good reason for doing so. I am in college, after all.
With all that said, I hope you guys can leave the characters a few questions to answer before the first part of "Friendship Games"! See ya later!
