Gambling of Rival Schools come Together

Rarity has finished making the costumes for her friends and the Joestar brothers have also finish setting up the stage and they are about to shoot their music video with Photo Finish's help.

"Let's take it from the top one more time. Rainbow Dash don't forget your cue. It's when Fluttershy does her triple pirouette, okay?" Rarity reminded Rainbow Dash of her role.

Rarity on Photo Finish that she got the camera ready, Josuke is with Vinyl giving the fashion girl the signal that the music is ready.

"And… Action!" Rarity shouted.

First off came Sunset and Fluttershy came out next, but she accidently hit Sunset in the back with her feet as she tries to do some ballet then Rainbow Dash slide in when Fluttershy only did one spin.

"Cut!" Rarity shouted.

"Hey, what happened to the music?" Rainbow Dash asked as she just getting her grove on.

"Fluttershy, it's supposed to be a triple pirouette." Rarity said as Spike yawns while stretching his back.

"I know. It's just that... um... uh, I-I don't think I can do one of those." Fluttershy exclaimed.

"Darling, of course you can, darling. I believe in you." Rarity cuddled her cheek against Fluttershy's.

"Come to think of it, you girls don't do much dancing when you play your music, huh?" Johnny asked.

"Uh, I guess you're right." Applejack started to realize that.

"How about you try "jazz paws" instead?" Spike offered, shaking his paws.

"Heh. Thanks, Spike. But all these moves are pretty hard." Sunset pointed out.

"And we are rushing this since the contest ends in two days." Joseph added.

"Oh, I know. But if we want to win, we have to bring our A-game!" Rarity determined.

"Crystal Prep certainly will. They're excellent dancers, and you know how they love to compete." Twilight warned everyone as she used to be a student at Crystal Prep which cause Rarity to worry.

"How about we forget about the other teams and get back to dancin'?" Applejack suggested.

"Great idea, Applejack!" Pinkie excited as she dances in place while making drum sounds. "It's really fun! I haven't stopped this whole time!"

"Pinkie, you're suppose to dance when it's your cue." Jonathan reminded her.

"Let's take it from Rainbow's entrance." Rarity said walking back to her director seat.

"And… Action!" She shouted.

The three girls on stage started their dancing routine again, but it quickly ended when Sunset's high heel rip a tear on Rainbow Dash's jacket and Rarity's eyes widen quickly going up on the stage seeing the damage.

"Oh! Oh! This is a disaster!" Rarity gasped.

"Whoops. Sorry, Rarity." Sunset apologized.

"If that's okay, she can borrow my jacket." Josuke offered as he is about to take off his jacket, but Rarity stop him.

"No, no, that's okay, Josuke. I can fix it, but I'll have to run to the fabric store before it closes. Jojo Darling, you're in charge and keep the girls practicing while I'm gone!" Rarity ordered and runs for her life to the mall.

"Yare yare daze, this is going to be a pain." Jotaro sighed.

(Canterlot Mall)

Rarity exit the fabric and thankfully she was able to buy the backup to fix Rainbow Dash's jacket, but then she saw something unexpected and horrifying.

The Five Shadowbolts are seen recording themselves on a camera and wearing fashionable styles, but what shocking is the style they are doing.

"Is that a disco-inspired look? And a street ballet tutu?!" Rarity shocked seeing the style and dance routine she had envision for the Rainboom's music video.

"I don't believe it. They stole my brilliant idea!" Rarity realized shocking.

(Rarity's Bedroom)

Rarity is seen working on fixing the tear on Rainbow Dash's coat and a knocking sound came from her door, Jonathan quickly came inside with the others following him from behind.

"Rarity, my dear, are you alright?" Jonathan asked worry.

"We got your text, saying it was an emergency?" Twilight said.

"Well, since you asked..." Rarity sat on her purple couch-like chair. "The answer is NOOO?!" She cried as Jonathan comforts her.

"Oh, no! What happened?" Fluttershy asked as she pets Opal.

"Sour Sweet... and the... Crystal... Prep girls stole our video concept!" Rarity revealed as her tears ruin her eye makeup.

"What?!" Jonathan gasped.

"I saw them filming at the mall. They copied my design ideas and everything! So, of course they looked absolutely fabulous. But the worst part is that they're all incredible dancers!" Rarity explained sad.

"Major bummer in the summer! Tissue for your issue?" Pinkie offered Rarity a tissue paper.

Rarity took it, cleaning her eye makeup and blew on it to clear her nose.

"Everyone is counting on me, on the video to win us the prize money for the camp." Rarity sighed laying down.

"Well, it's not like they tricked you into giving the video idea or anyway." Joseph shrugged, earning a glare from the eldest brother.

"You're right, I should've known they would steal my ideas. I practically served it to them on a platter!" Rarity angered.

"Don't be too hard on yourself. It's gonna take more than one Friendship Games for those Crystal Prep girls to learn that winning isn't everything." Twilight stated.

"We really got to ask our moms about that Friendship Games." Johnny whispered to Giorno as he agrees.

"Eh, maybe this was all for the best." Applejack said.

"Hmm? W-What do you mean?" Rarity asked.

"Uh, your concept and costumes are really awesome, but, uh... our dancin'..." Applejack paused letting the others say what they feel about the dancing.

"You all stick than Joseph's dirty socks." Giorno said.

"They look like clowns." Joseph added making Pinkie giggles.

"You guys could barely get in a two-step without trippin' over each other's boots." Johnny laughed.

"Yeah, just what I was thinking." Applejack nodded as they start laughing a little, but Rarity doesn't see this as a laughing moment.

"Nonsense! You all looked great! Okay, maybe not great, but, but... but it was getting there! And the point is we don't have to let them win! That is our video concept! And I am going straight to Crystal Prep to let them know that they have messed with the wrong girls! Mmm! Who's with me?!" Rarity determined to rally her friends and boyfriends to give those Shadowbolts a piece of their mind.

"I am, those girls dare to break my beloved's heart, I will not stand for this!" Jonathan joined Rarity's rally.

But there is a silent to the group giving looks that they do not want to cause any trouble, then Pinkie spoke up.

"I'm guessing your next line is… "No, n-no, seriously, who is with me? I have no idea how to get to Crystal Prep." Go!" Pinkie performed the Next Line trick.

"No, n-no, seriously, who is with me? I have no idea how to get to Crystal Prep." Rarity cleared her throat, and gasp that Pinkie knew.

"It was easy since none of us know how to get there anyway." Pinkie shrugged, Joseph smile at his girlfriend that she got the trick well like a pro.

"I'll go. Maybe I can try to reason with them. We were classmates once." Twilight volunteered.

"That's the spirit!" Rarity smiled.

"Now, we are off!" Jonathan declared dramatically.

(Crystal Prep)

Sneaking their way into the fancy school, Rarity is covering her face with a black-violet scarf and a pair of red sunglasses while Jonathan wears black sunglasses and a bull hat while covering his body with a blue trench coat. Twilight is the only one not wearing a disguise thinking she didn't need to since nobody pay that much attention to her when she used to be a student here.

They quietly sneak through the hallways without being spotted by anyone.

"Okay, where's the dance studio?" Rarity asked whispering.

"There's a dance studio?" Twilight surprised as this is the first time she heard that.

"How do you not know what rooms your old school has?" Jonathan asked.

"Well, I can show you where the library is." Twilight said with a nervous smile.

Then something caught Rarity's ear.

"Wait, shhh. That's their music." Rarity followed where the music sound is coming from and spotted an open door which she believes is the dance studio.

"Bingo!" Rarity smirked.

The three walks in seeing the Shadowbolts are practicing the dancing in such an elegant and style way that made them gasp with their jaws drop, the Shadowbolts notice them after finishing up.

"Hey, girls! So, what did you think of our routine? Scared yet?" Sour Sweet asked rhetorically.

"Don't change the subject, Sour Sweet!" Rarity pointed her finer at Sour Sweet as she and her friends are confuse.

"But you didn't bring up a subject." Sugarcoat said.

"Perhaps about you girls stealing the Rainboom's music video idea." Jonathan angered, scaring the girls like yesterday.

"S-Sorry, big guy, but we're not backing down at all." Indigo Zap said standing her ground.

"And why is that?" Twilight asked.

"Because we care about winning. Duh!" Sunny Flare answered in a mocking tone.

"You should rethink that if you don't want to be Iggy's chew toy." Jonathan pulled out Iggy who was hiding on his coat and barks angrily at the Shadowbolts scaring.

"Whoa, dude! Call off your dog!" Lemon Zest begged.

"Only if you promise not to steal any ideas from others." Jonathan demanded as Iggy moves closer to them while still barking viciously.

"We won't need to anymore because we already summited our video." Sour Sweet yelled, three gasp and even Iggy stop barking.

"Well, it, huh… It doesn't matter! Because we are still doing our video the way we planned!" Rarity proclaimed.

"Go ahead. But there's just one flaw in your little plan." Sour Sweet smirked.

"By the time you submit yours, it'll just look like you copied us." Sunny Flare stated.

"Except the worse version." Sugarcoat added.

"Oh, burn!" Lemon Zest and Indigo Zap mocked at the same.

"Looks like there's nothing we can do about it. Let's go, Iggy." Jonathan said and Iggy growls at the girls one last time scaring them before following Jonathan and the girls back home.

(The Next Day, Canterlot High)

"Oh, this is all my fault! All the money we raised is gone, and now we have no music video! I should never have convinced you all that we could pull this off in so little time!" Rarity cried in Jonathan's chest as he pat her back.

"Come on, I'm sure we'll be able to come up with something fast." Josuke believed.

"Totally, we're great at doing stuff super-fast. I mean, look at Pinkie Pie. She just built that castle made entirely out of chocolate bars while we were talking." Rainbow Dash gestured at Pinkie putting the finishing touches on her chocolate castle.

"And she only took her under thirty seconds to do it." Joseph smiled.

"Want some?" Pinkie offered a chocolate bar to Rarity.

"What I want is a new video concept!" Rarity complained.

Pinkie just shrug and hand the bar to Joseph who gladly accepts it and took a bite out of it, she threw a piece right in front of Iggy also accepting the chocolate.

"So, let's create one!" Johnny suggested.

"Do you think we can make a music video in just a day?" Jonathan asked.

"I'm sure we can." Giorno said.

"If we all put our heads together, we'll come up with something even better than before." Sunset believed.

"Okay. I suppose it's worth a try." Rarity said, willing to make a video idea for the music video.

"Now we just need to come up with a theme." Jotaro stated.

Then suddenly Pinkie started dragging everyone close together in a circle and butting their heads together.

"I think it's working." Pinkie excited.

"Uh, Pinkie, I don't think this is what Sunset meant by putting our heads together." Joseph pointed out.

"Hey, I think I got something." Applejack said.

But before she could say her ideas out loud, the door burst open revealing Sunny Flare, Indigo Zap, Lemon Zest, and Sugarcoat all looking scared like this just ran for their life from a monster.

"We need your help?!" They shouted panicking.

"What are you doing here?" Rainbow Dash asked glaring.

"You have to help us save Sour Sweet!" Sunny Flare said.

"What are you talking about?" Spike confused.

"We were at the mall when this weird guy challenge us to a gamble contest." Lemon Zest mentioned worrying.

"Huh, I didn't think you girls were interested in gambling." Joseph surprised.

"I don't if gambling takes your soul!" Sugarcoat revealed shocking the others.

"Take your soul." Fluttershy scared hiding behind Giorno.

"Oh, come on, like we're gonna"

"They're telling the truth." Jotaro said, shocking Rainbow Dash of confusion.

"Yes, despite the cruelty they have done, I too can see the truth within their eyes." Jonathan vouched Jotaro's claim.

"Guess we're going to help them after all." Johnny sighed.

"Funny you should say that, the guy who took Sour Sweet's soul said if we want her back then we have to turn to the you boys." Sugarcoat mentioned.

"Could it be one of the remaining dark brothers?" Twilight asked.

"Or could be one of their lackeys, best to go meet the bastard himself." Jotaro marched his way to the mall.

(City Blocks Later)

Jotaro with everyone behind him including the four Shadowbolts are walking through the street in the direction in where the Crystal Prep students said they met the guy, one more minute of walking later they stop in front of a large building that almost looks like a mansion with the sign that says "Sweet Gambling for Life" with a poker card stab on a cupcake.

"That's a good name." Pinkie commented.

"Yeah, if you plan on having your last snack here." Lemon Zest shivered.

"Let's go." Jotaro said getting inside the seeing the place is pack with slot machines and other things that a casino needs including a bar.

"There he is!" Sunny Flare pointed at the table far end near the window.

They walk to the table seeing the very man himself shuffling some cards in his hands.

"Look what we have here, the Joestar brothers and the Rainbooms." The man grinned.

The man average to above-average height and slim to middling build. He has black hair and velvet eyes. wears dark hair of middling volume, flowing slightly back and apart from his face, and a trim mustache of medium length. A light surface trails from the bottom of his eyes to points aside his mouth; scored by thin, black, horizontal lines. He wears a light shirt, dark tie, and a vest of a medium color, printed with spirals.

"Look, there's Sour Sweet." Twilight pointed at the girl and go to her, then she gasps upon seeing her eyes are lifeless and feeling she has no pulse.

"She's… dead?!" Twilight feared.

"Oh, don't worry, she soul is safe right here." The man showed the chip with Sour Sweet's face on it.

"There's no doubt about it. This man is a Stand User." Giorno declared.

"Pleasure to meet you all, the name's Daniel J. D'Arby, but you can call me D'Arby. I was order by my boss D2 to eliminate you all." D'Arby revealed himself and his mission.

"You use the Shadowbolts to lure us here, didn't you?" Giorno figured.

"Correct, this Sour Sweet lost a gambling bet to me and paid the price. The foolish girl should've known better than to face a true Gambler." D'Arby bragged.

"You only won because you cheated!" Indigo Zap angered.

"I'm quite surprise you're complaining about cheating, I seem to recall Crystal try to cheat their way in winning the Friendship Games months ago with magic from another world." D'Arby mentioned, making the Shadowbolts finch of that memory.

"That's all in the past, and we're going to get our friend back!" Twilight determined.

"Heheh, I like to see you try." D'Arby taunted.
