In one way or another, sometimes making new friends with being from other worlds or even other universes can come at a cost; making new rivals as well. We never know what they can truly be capable of. However, this can also result in recieves new mysterious allies who may look normal, but are capable of mysterious abilities.

The night of the Fall Formal…

At a restaurant in the middle of the night, something strange was going on. The people on their tables were arguing with each other. Not just one, not two, but all of the tables were filled with people arguing all at once over themselves. What seemed even stranger was there was a mysterious sparkly green mist coming from them.

On one table, there were three female teenagers wearing hoodies with the hoods over their heads singing. They each wore a necklace that had a bright red pendants. The pendants glowed as the mist was hovering into them, probably more like absorbing them.

When the pendants had absorbed all of the mist, the girls stopped singing. Then one of them pulled off her hood, revealing what she looked like. She had dark lavender purple skin, moderate purple hair in two ponytails with moderate turquoise green highlights, and violet purple eyes. Her name was Aria Blaze. She was sometimes a very greedy person.

Aria groaned in annoyance, "That was barely worth the effort, Adagio. I'm tired of fast food. I need a meal."

The girl on the other side of the table took her hood off revealing her looks. She had daffodil yellow skin, puffy luminous orange hair in a ponytail with luminous gold highlights, and magenta purple eyes. Her name was Adagio Dazzle. She was usually the serious out of the others.

Adagio explained to Aria, "The energy in this world isn't the same as in Equestria. We can only gain so much power here."

Aria scowled, "Agh! I wish we've never been banished to this awful place."

Adagio didn't seem to care, "Really? I love it here."

"For realsies?" the third girl asked, "Because I think this place is the worst."

The third girl had cyan blue skin, moderate cerulean and dark blue hair in a ponytail, and magenta purple eyes. Her name was Sonata Dusk. She sometimes had a strange sense of humour. Uh, no offense.

Aria didn't seem to like Sonata very much, "I think you're the worst, Sonata."

Sonata tried to throw back an insult, "Oh, yeah? Well, I think you're..."

Adagio groaned, "I'll tell you one thing; being stuck with you two here isn't making this world any more bearable."

Then Adagio noticed something through the window. Clouds were forming and a beam of light shot up into the sky. She rushed outside of the restaurant to see what was going on with Sonata and Aria following close behind. The wing began to pick up quickly.

Then a rainbow tornado formed high in the air, and then shot down at something. Then the energy burst away. Adagio's pendant suddenly glow, and Adagio gasped, "Huh! Did you feel that?"

Adagio then gained a sinister smile on her face, "Do you know what that is?"

But Aria and Sonata didn't understand. Adagio grabbed Aria by her hoodie and spoke in her face, "It's Equestrian Magic!"

Aria pushed Adagio's hands off, "But this world doesn't have Equestrian Magic."

Adagio turned back to looking at where the energy came from, "It does now. And we're going to use to make everyone in this pathetic little world adore us."

Aria and Sonata stood next to Adagio each with sinister smiles. However, they all then saw something else that surprised them. They could see… Super Sonic fighting Dr. Eggman in his Egg Emperor. And then Sonic transformed into his Harmonic from for the first time, and then defeated Eggman.

The pendants then glowed again, but much brighter. This could mean to them that that energy was so much stronger. Adagio then smiled even sinisterier, "Oh… so much power. That first piece of Equestrian Magic will be perfect for a start, and then that new power will make us… invincible."

Present day…

On Mobius, Sonic the Hedgehog was running along one of his favorite spots in Green Hill; the spiral bridge that went through the waterfall that almost formed a complete circle. This spot was one of his most favorite because as much as he hated water because he couldn't swim, the little bits of splashes from the falling water landing on him helped him cool down as he ran along the bridge.

Not too long ago, Gage the Hedgehog, Sonic's friend who helped him when he was on Earth, had recently left for home. He had to help some close friends of his.

As much as he enjoyed spending his free time running as far as he could on Green Hill, Sonic seemed unsatisfied. This was because he missed his girlfriend, Rainbow Dash. He hadn't seen her ever since the day they said goodbye. The only thing he had that made him think about her so much… was a photo of him and her together when he was in her Earth.

Sonic stopped when he reached the top of a hill that had a waterfall right at the edge. He sat down and looked at the view. He then pulled out the photo of him and Rainbow and stared at it. The picture showing Rainbow hugging Sonic and kissing him on the check and Sonic smiling and blushing.

Sonic placed his hand on the side of his face, "Oh, Rainbow, if only you knew how much I really miss you right now."

On Earth, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Sunset Shimmer were walking together through the hallways of Canterlot High School. Rainbow just happened to be staring at the same photo of her and Sonic in her hand.

Rarity noticed Rainbow's photo and that Rainbow still looked pretty sad that Sonic had to go home, "Oh, darling, we all miss Sonic. He was a really special friend to all of us."

Rainbow nodded as she put the photo away, "Yeah, I know."

The girls were walking to the music room. They were going to practice playing their instruments. As they approached the doors, Applejack raised her arm in front of her friends, "Hold on, someone's inside."

They looked through the open doors and saw a young boy playing the piano while singing with a very soft, high voice.

The boy had macaroon tan skin, bright sapphire blue hair with diamond red highlights that fell to his neck, and cerulean blue eyes. He was wearing an unzipped navy blue short-sleeve hoodie that had lightning details and textures on the shoulders and down the sides of the body. Under the hoodie was a stone grey T-shirt with the symbol of a light blue lightning bolt on the chest. His lower half contained azure blue sweatpants with white streaks down the sides of the legs, and he had gold parkour/running shoes with ruby red and cloud white details and streaks on his feet. For accessories, he had grey speed glasses with lapis blue lenses in his hair, a denim blue bandana around his neck, white fingerless gloves on his hands with teal blue and gold yellow sports tape from his hands to his lower arms, and a ruby red wristband on each wrist.

The boy was singing "The Scientist" by Coldplay, just like the cover by Alex Goot and Jada Facer. His voice was very high and well paced with the theme. This was very inspiring to the girls. They thought he was an amazing singer and piano player. Rainbow couldn't help but notice that he even looked so much like Sonic.

When the boy finished, he held the final keys down until the sound went down. He took a breath from his singing, "I don't think I'll ever get tired of that song."

Then, the girls all began clapping extremely amazed by the boy's playing. The boy was quite surprised to see this. Rarity was the first to speak, "Darling, that was beautiful. You have such talent for singing and playing piano."

The boy smiled as he scratched his head, "Oh, thanks. It's nothing. Just what I love to do."

Applejack chuckled, "Nothing? Oh, silly sugar cube. What you did is definitely something. Something big."

The boy chuckled along with Applejack, "Hey, don't mention it. That's what I got from almost every other student from CHS."

The boy then cleared his throat, "I should introduce myself. My name is Strike. Pleased to meet you all."

Strike held his hand out to the girls, and they all smiled. Even Fluttershy seemed to have enough courage to accept it. "It's really nice to meet you, Strike, darling," Rarity said, "My name is Rarity."

Rainbow gave Strike a fist-bump, "Rainbow Dash."

Applejack tilted her hat to Strike, "I'm Applejack."

Fluttershy waved hello, "I'm Fluttershy."

Pinkie hopped in the air as she shook Strike's hand, "I'm Pinkie Pie!"

Sunset was a little nervous, but she also accepted Strike's handshake, "I'm Sunset Shimmer."

Strike nodded, "Sunset Shimmer? Oh, right. I happened to visit CHS on the weekend, and I heard about what happened at the Fall Formal."

Sunset's smile turned into a frown of worry. But that quickly changed to a surprised open mouth when Strike put his hand on her shoulder, "Hey, there's no need to be sad. I've made big mistakes of my own back where I come from."

Sunset and the girls thought that Strike was a really kind person. Sunset smiled at him, "Thanks. I'm glad that there's a new student who seems to understand."

Strike chuckled, "Yeah, I really do. In fact, I think some of the things I did were a lot worse. But do you know how I got over it? I let people have time to find forgiveness for me, and they eventually did. So don't worry, I'm sure that everyone else will forgive you, Sunset."

The girls all smiled at Strike. Strike sat down on the piano bench while Sunset sat on the piano as the other girls were grabbing instruments. Rainbow had a Fender Stratocaster electric guitar. The main body and headstock were in a gleaming, shining cerulean blue color. It's neck was in a crimson red color with the inlays in the form of gold yellow lightning bolts. This guitar actually belonged to her.

Applejack took out a semi-hollow bass guitar. The sides of the main body were daffodil yellow. From the ends of it faded in pinkish candy red to the center in blonde yellow. The body also had merigold orange lining on it and the logo of a rose red apple. The inlays on the neck were also rose red apples. This was her instrument.

Rarity had found a keytar for her to use as her instrument. Fluttershy used a tambourine as her own instrument, and Pinkie had her very own complete drum set.

Strike decided to ask, "Just to be sure, what exactly happened at the Formal? All I heard was that there was some kind of… magic attack or something."

Sunset sighed as she answered and rolled her eyes, "A demon. I turned into a raging she-demon."

Pinkie then popped up right next to Sunset, "And tried to turn everyone here into teenage zombies for your own personal army!"

Strike flexed an eyebrow, "I guess that fits."

Rarity wanted to help Sunset feel better, "Oh, darling, you have us. And we've forgiven you for your past… ahem, boo-boos."

"To be honest," Applejack added as she turned her bass, "I'd say the whole experience brought everyone at Canterlot High closer than ever before."

Strike noticed that the girls were all gathering together with their instruments. Sunset wasn't part of it though. Strike then asked, "If you're about to rehearse a song, um, would it be fine if I watched? I love music after all. In fact, is this all for a showcase or something like that?"

Rainbow smiled, "Sure, why not? And yes, it's all for the CHS Musical Showcase! The band before you is the Rainbooms, but everyone in this school… we are the Wondercolts!"

Pinkie banged her drumsticks together, "One, two, three!"

(My Little Pony: Rainbow Rocks (2014) song: Better than Ever plays)

The girls began to play their instruments and sing.

Rainbooms: There was a time we were apart, but that's behind us now

See how we've made a brand new start, and the future's looking up

(Ah-oh, ah-oh)

And when you walk these halls, you feel it everywhere

Yeah, we're the Wondercolts forever! Oh, yeah!

All around the school, students were hanging out with each other. They were walking and talking through the halls, sitting together in the cafeteria, and taking photos of each other outside.

Rainbooms: We are all together! (Ah, ah, oh-oh-oh)

Now it's better than ever (Ah, ah, oh-oh-oh)

You can feel it, we are back (You can feel it)

And I'm so glad that we're better

Better than ever!

That was when something began to happen. Remember when the girls all gained pony ears and tails during the Fall Formal? Yep, you guessed it. Their ears turned into pony ears on their heads and grew longer ponytails in their hair. Rainbow and Fluttershy gained wings on their backs. This was something that Strike was caught off guard by, "Whoa, amazing."

Rainbooms: Whoa-oh, oh-whoa-oh

Oh yeah, we're better than ever

Whoa-oh, oh-whoa-oh

Strike and Sunset began to smile and move along with the beat in the song. Sunset was tapping her hands on her knees while Strike was shaking his head up and down.

Rainbow: There was a time we couldn't see

Past the differences

Applejack: That separated you and me

And it left us on our own

Pinkie: But now you walk these halls, and friends are everywhere

Rainbooms: Yeah, we're the Wondercolts forever! Oh, yeah!

Strike and Sunset got off the piano and stood up and they snapped their fingers along with the beat.

Rainbooms: We are all together! (Ah, ah, oh-oh-oh)

Now it's better than ever (Ah, ah, oh-oh-oh)

Now that we are back on track (Now that we are)

Yes, I'm so glad that we're better

Better than ever!

Strike and Sunset then began to clap along with the rest of the song as the Rainbooms finished it.

Rainbooms: Whoa-oh, oh-whoa-oh

Oh yeah, we're better than ever

Whoa-oh, oh-whoa-oh

Oh yeah, we're better than ever

Whoa-oh, oh-whoa-oh

Oh yeah, we're better than ever

(Song ends)

Once the girls were finished, their pony ears turned back to their human ears, their ponytails vanished, and Rainbow and Fluttershy's wings disappeared. Strike and Sunset clapped amazed by their performance.

"That was amazing!" Strike said, "Not to mention, you all grew wings, ears, and tails. How'd you do that?"

Rarity chuckled, "It just happens when we play. I still can't believe it does."

"You know, Rarity," Strike added, "I've heard how much you're into fashion, so I think you could make some accessories for the ponytail. Oh, or maybe some earrings for the pony ears."

Rarity clapped at the idea, "That's a wonderful idea, darling! I should think about that more often."

Applejack cut in, "I just wonder why it happens. Princess Twilight took her crown back to Equestria. Shouldn't that mean she took all the magic back with her?"

Rainbow just chuckled, "Who cares why it happens? It makes my band totally awesome."

Rarity turned to Rainbow and asked surprisingly, "'Your' band?"

"Duh," Rainbow answered, "It was my idea to start the Rainbooms, so we could be in the showcase. Plus an elite singer and guitarist."

Then there was a knock on the door before it opened. It was Sunset's ex-boyfriend, Flash Sentry, "Uh, heard you outside. You guys are sounding really tight."

Rainbow stepped forward, "Uh, we're getting there. Rarity's still coming in a little late on the second verse, and Applejack's bass solo could use a little work. They'll get it together in time for the showcase."

Applejack and Rarity disliked how Rainbow just spoke about them. So did Strike, "Uh, Dash, I know that we all just met today, but what you said to your friends… that was kind of rude."

Flash then noticed Strike and gasped, "You're him! You're the guy I heard of! You're Strike!"

Flash ran right up to Strike and started rapidly shaking his hand. Strike was quite surprised, again, "Whoa, I guess I have a fan all of a sudden."

Flash then asked the girls, "Uh, I don't suppose any of our friends from, uh… out of town might come? It being a special charity event and all."

Applejack answered, "Sorry, Flash. I don't think Twilight's gonna be back at Canterlot High anytime soon."

Flash chuckled, "Oh, yeah. Okay. I just, y'know, thought I'd ask. Uh, keep on rocking it."

Flash accidentally backed up into the wall trying to exit the room. He smiled with an embarrassed blush before saluting and leaving. Strike just thought about the way Flash acted, "Huh, seems like he's got a thing for Twilight."

Rarity laughed, "Well, someone is quite the Smitten Kitten."

Sunset looked down with a sad look, and Rarity suddenly realized, "Oh! Sorry. I always forget you and Flash used to be an item."

Sunset smiled, "It's okay. Flash is a great guy and all, but I never actually liked him, liked him. I was just using him to become more popular. Sigh… the old me really was just awful, wasn't she?"

All of the girls made a sorrowful yes sound. But then Applejack put her hand on Sunset's shoulder, "But the important thing is you've turned yourself around."

Sunset smiled, "Thanks, Applejack. But I'm not sure everyone else at CHS feels the same way."

Then there was the voice of Vice-Principal Luna speaking through the speaker, "Sunset Shimmer, please report to the main foyer."

Sunset went to leaving the room, "Gotta run. I volunteered to show some new students around the school. Thought it'd be good for them to know the new me before they heard all the stuff about the old me."

Once Sunset left, Rainbow turned to the rest, "We've still got a few minutes until lunch starts. What do you say we do 'Awesome as'..."

Rainbow then looked at Strike who was staring at the piano. She then decided to ask him, "Actually, Strike, after seeing you perform on the piano and sing, you wanna share one of your songs?"

Strike was quite surprised to hear this, "Huh? Me? Oh, well… I don't know, I mean…"

The other girls agreed with Rainbow. "Yeah, c'mon, sing a cool song. Anything you like," Applejack said.

Strike thought about it, "Hmm, well I'm not up for super hard rocking music, but I do like some songs that are fun or just nice to sing."

Strike then thought of something, "Ah, I know."

Strike took out a cellphone from his pocket, and he selected the song he thought of. He put the volume on at max, and as it started playing, he simply asked, "So let me ask, do you ever have any interest in anything that is quite old?"

"You mean history about certain things we're interested in?" Applejack asked, "Definitely. Like the history of someone who… changed the world in a great way."

"Yeah," Rainbow agreed, "You sound like you're interested in old things, huh?"

"Exactly," Strike answered, "I read and watch very old stuff. It's that simple. I want something like that, and I honestly don't know how much I want of it, but I never stop thinking about it."

(Something Just Like This - The Chainsmokers)

Strike: I've been reading books of old

The legends and the myths

Achilles and his gold

Hercules and his gifts

Spider-man's control and Batman with his fists

And clearly I don't see myself upon that list

But they said "Where'd you want to go?"

"How much you wanna risk?"

I'm not looking for somebody with some superhuman gifts (Some superhero)

Some fairytale bliss, just someone I can turn to

Somebody I can kiss, I want something just like this

The girls seemed to like how Strike was singing along with the song. As he sang, he actually approached the doors to exit the music room.

Strike: Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

Oh, I want something just like this

Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

Oh, I want something just like this!

Strike opened the doors, and a pair of students were standing outside the room performing some stunt dance moves along with the song. The girls started to enjoy the song as they began to follow Strike out of the room and through the hallway.

Strike: I want something just like this

Some other students were playing instruments of their own along with the song, while some others were performing motions of the lyrics from the song.

Strike: I've been reading books of bold

The legends and the myths

The testaments they told

The moon and its eclipse

And Superman unrolls a suit before he lifts

But I'm not the kind of person that it fits

But they said "Where'd you want to go?"

"How much you wanna risk?"

I'm not looking for somebody with some superhuman gifts (Some superhero)

Some fairytale bliss, just someone I can turn to

Somebody I can miss, I want something just like this!

Strike and a few students behind began performing dance moves with the music in the song. The girls were liking both him and his singing really much.

Strike: Oh, I want something just like this!

Oh, I want something just like this!

Then Strike and the girls entered the cafeteria, and a lot of students were at their tables, clapping or using the cups to play with the song. It seemed like almost the entire school knew what Strike was like already. Even the cafeteria lady, Granny Smith, was dancing along with the music as she handed them their food.

Strike: Where'd you want to go?

How much you wanna risk?

I'm not looking for somebody with some superhuman gifts (Some superhero!)

Some fairytale bliss, just someone I can turn to

Somebody I can kiss, oh I want something just like this!

The girls all went to clapping and going "Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo" with the rest of the song while Strike made some last few solo lines.

Rainbooms: Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo (Strike: Yeah)

Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

Oh, I want something just like this!

Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

Strike: Oh, I want something just like this...

(Song Ends)

Strike and the girls all laughed together after Strike had sung his song.

"Hoo-we," Applejack said, "Y'all really are good at singin'."

Strike chuckled as he sat down, "Don't mention it. But thanks."

Then there was another teenage boy approaching the table with his own tray of food. The boy had pure white skin, pure black hair, and smoke grey eyes. He was wearing a hooded, ghost white overcoat, a stone grey shirt with symbols of black rings on the shoulders, chest, and core, ghost white sweatpants, and silver shoes that had the looks of high-technology.

Rainbow asked, "Hey, who's this next to you, Strike?"

Strike introduced his friend, "Oh, this is my friend, Specter."

"Nice to meet you," Specter said. He sounded bored as he was eating his lunch from his tray.

Strike scratched his head, "Sorry about him. He's a person who likes action and things right now are pretty dull for him."

Rarity cleared her throat, "Ahem, so, um, Strike, when exactly did you arrive at CHS for the first time?"

"Oh, just Saturday over the weekend," Strike answered, "I talked to Principal Celestia, and she decided that I could come here this week. Specter was here with me."

"I gotta know, Strike," Applejack said, "How long have you played on the piano?"

Strike chuckled, "Let me be honest and say, only a few months. I just started when I was around fifteen years old. I used to be totally uninterested, but then there was this animated music video I saw on the Internet and I was totally inspired by it. Not to mention, I was kind of a quick learner on how to play that song."

Then Sunset arrived and sat down next to Applejack. Applejack asked, "So, how was the tour?"

Sunset didn't look so sure, "I don't know. I mean, these girls- they were… there was something off about them."

Pinkie then began coming up with ideas and used her hair to make herself look like she had a beard, "Like off like this?"

Then she had two carrots poking out of her mouth and letaus leaves over her eyebrow, making her look like a bunny, "Or off like this? Or…"

Rainbow spoke, "Maybe we should just let her tell us."

Sunset answered, "That's just it. I can't put her finger on it. They just acted sort of… strange around me."

Sunset then sighed as she put her head down, "Maybe someone already talked to them. Told them what I did. Oh, so much for making a good first impression."

Everyone at the table felt sorry for her. Well, Specter just wasn't paying attention to the conversation; he was just too busy being bored and eating his food.

Strike then thought of something, then asked Sunset, "Uh, I don't think that this is important, Sunset, but who exactly were they?"

Sunset raised her head, "They're girls. Three of them. Their names are Adagio, Aria, and Sonata. And I think they called themselves… the 'Dazzlings' or something."

Then the entrance doors opened as the girls who Sunset just said were, Adagio, Aria, and Sonata, the Dazzlings entered. They began singing as they walked past students catching their attention with their voices. The Mane 6 and Strike took notice of this. Specter didn't even seem to notice who had just entered the lunch room and just kept eating his lunch.

Strike flexed an eyebrow, "Uh, that's them, right?"

Sunset nodded. Everyone in the school began to take notice of Adagio, Aria, and Sonata singing. That's right, more music on the way. Sorry if this feels like too much music in the very first chapter, but if a chapter's gotta be long, the song must take place. Anyway…

(My Little Pony: Rainbow Rocks (2014) Song: Let's Have A Battle (Of The Bands))

Adagio: We heard you want to get together

We heard you want to rock this school

We thought of something that is better

Something that changes all the rules

All of the students just watched as the Dazzlings walked past them. The Rainbooms and Strike didn't seem to understand what this was about. Strike didn't think this was something the Dazzlings were doing for fun.

Adagio: Why pretend we're all the same

When some of us shine brighter? (Sonata and Aria: Shine brighter)

Here's a chance to find your flame

Are you a loser or a fighter?

This was starting to make some of the students think about this. Others began looking at each other suspiciously as the Dazzlings continued.

Dazzlings: Me and you, you and me...

Why don't we see who is better?

We don't have to be one and the same thing

Oh, what's so wrong with a little competition?

Are you afraid of failing the audition?

Strike was starting feel something was really off about the Dazzlings, "Something's up with those girls. Better be careful."

Adagio: You're a star and you should know it

Yeah, you rise above the rest

It doesn't matter who you hurt

If you're just proving you're the best

Now the Dazzlings began to sing together to everyone.

Dazzlings: Battle! You want to win it!

Let's have a battle! Battle of the bands!

Let's have a battle! We'll go all in it!

Let's have a battle! Battle! Battle!

Battle of the bands!

Then something else started to happen. Students began to argue with each other about who could be whom in this Battle of the Bands thing.

Blueberry Cake: I can beat you!

(Battle!) Cherry Crash: Ha! You wish!

(Battle!) Trixie: I so want this!

(Battle!) Captain Planet: Not if I get it first!

Dazzlings: Me and you, you and me...

Why don't we see who is better?

We don't have to be one and the same thing

Oh, what's so wrong with a little competition?

Students: I'm going up and winning the audition!

Soon, everyone wanted to have a battle of the bands. All, except for the girls, Strike and Specter. They just watched as everyone chanted with the Dazzlings. But there was also something strange; a sparkly green mist was appearing from the students and were going into the Dazzlings' pendants.

Dazzlings and students: Battle! We want to win it!

Let's have a battle! Battle of the bands!

Let's have a battle! We'll go all in it!

Let's have a battle! Battle! Battle!

Battle of the bands!

(Song ends)

All of the students began arguing with each other all at once about who would win the battle of the bands. Pinkie spoke to Sunset, "OH, they're that kind of off."

As the green mist continued to move around the cafeteria, Strike tapped Specter on the shoulder. Specter looked over at what Strike was showing him, and he just nodded, "Okay, I'm just gonna finish my lunch." and with that he resumed his sandwich.

Strike sighed as he rolled his eyes. He looked back at the Dazzlings. He pulled his glasses over his eyes, and then his finger tapped something on the side. Then the lenses began to show visual vital scanning effects. The glasses looked like they were made of advanced technology. They were scanning everyone in their sights; the Dazzlings, the mist, and everyone who was arguing with each other.

Strike's glasses then zoomed in at the three mysterious pendants on the Dazzlings' necklaces. They showed that there was some kind of negative energy that was causing them to absorb the mist.

Strike thought about this, "There's definitely something off about these girls. But what is the source of those pendants of theirs?"

Strike grabbed his tray as he stood up, "Uh, excuse me, girls, I need to go do something important."

Strike suddenly swung the tray forward like a frisbee. It went straight past everybody catching their attention. It then bounced off the walls, before it flew right onto the table of dirty trays.

All eyes were on Strike. Strike began to walk around the students and out of the cafeteria. Most of the students just stared at him for the stunt he pulled off, but Flash seemed to have a smirk on his face, as if he had an idea.

Flash walked up to Strike and tapped him on the shoulder, getting his attention. He then asked, "Hey, Strike since I've heard that you love to play piano, how would you like to be a part of my band for the Battle of the Bands? I think we could use a guy like you."

Strike made a face of concern as he answered, "You mean like a competition? Uuh sorry, man, but competition isn't really my thing."

This caught the Dazzlings' and the Mane 6's attention. It was like Strike wasn't like most kinds of people who liked winning. Trixie flexed an eyebrow in confusion, "What do you mean?"

Strike turned his head to Trixie and said, "I mean, I don't really have much of an interest in contests. I mean, hey, don't get me wrong, I know that sometimes those can be used to solve problems, but over who's best at music? Uuuuuh… no, thank you."

The Dazzlings' eyes went wide open. "What?" Adagio thought, "He's not under our spell? How's that possible?"

As Flash was disappointed to hear Strike say this, he just patted him on the shoulder, "Eh, it's cool, man. It's your call whether you want to compete or not, after all."

Then a very greedy Crimson Napalm approached Strike and pushed him back with his hands, "Why? You afraid of being a loser?"

Strike then spoke out, "Hi, I'm Strike. I'm new here at CHS. It's my first day here. It's exciting. And you must be Crimson Napalm. Would you mind telling me what your problem is?"

Crimson growled as he threw a punch right at Strike, but Strike just moved his head aside. Crimson tried again, but missed once more. And then… SLAP! Strike suddenly slapped Crimson right in the face, "OW!"

Everyone gasped in surprise. Adagio then noticed something. There had been mist coming from everyone who was arguing, but not Strike. The slap was so hard; Crimson's cheek had a bright red handprint from it.

Crimson groaned as he turned back to Strike, "Did you just slap me?"

Surprisingly, Strike sounded very positive as he turned to Flash and then Sunset and her friends, "I did. Weird, right?"

Specter suddenly popped up right beside Strike looking excited with a camera, "Do it again! I want to catch this on camera!"

Strike just placed his hand on the camera and lowered it, "No."

Specter frowned, "You take the fun out of everything."

Strike shook his head, before he turned back to Crimson, "Anyways, it looks like I'm going to be stuck here for quite a while. Possibly for the rest of the year, just like you are. So… let's make a deal, shall we?"

Strike stepped forward and stood a foot right in of Crimson's face, "We don't say anything about this encounter of ours, or of the Battle of the Bands… and we'll be okay."

"I recommend you take the deal pal, this offer won't last forever" Specter said smugly.

Strike then very gently pushed Crimson out of his way, and he began to walk out of the cafeteria with Specter following him. Everyone just stared at them.

Flash put his hand on his head, "Man, he's cool. And very serious when he needs to be."

Adagio thought very carefully about Strike's actions, "Hmm, very interesting. Strike is very positive, yet he slapped Crimson, and no negativity comes from him. Perhaps, there is something special about him."

Somewhere in the city, in a dark alleyway, there was someone sitting on a crate reading a newspaper. He was looking at a picture of Sonic fighting Dr. Eggman. He started to chuckle quietly, but evilly, "Hehehehehe… well, well, well. It looks like that hedgehog has been here before. Well, Sonic, you better come back so we can finish our business, because we're not done yet…"
