Welcome to MLP EG: Rainbow Rocks! 


3rd POV

The full moon in a starry night sky. Tilt down slowly to street level, framing a city street corner where a restaurant stands. The brightly lit windows pick out the silhouettes of a roomful of customers, and their muffled, heated conversation is heard even at this distance. In the corner, in a booth, a set of male voices gradually makes itself heard, vocalizing a five-note phrase; dissolve to a booth inside, where a teenage boy and girl are arguing. 

One of the boys has pale yellow skin that bears a faint greenish tint, her eyes closed and shadowed in a darker hue. He wears jeans and a sweatshirt whose hood is pulled up to cover his hair and cast his face in shadow, and his hands are raised as if to cover something on his chest as he rocks slowly back and forth. A second, similarly attired figure sits facing him; the table between them is the only one in the whole restaurant that is completely bare. As the voices repeat the two phrases, the camera cuts to an extreme close-up of the yellow boy's chest; his hands partially cover a large red gem that hangs around his neck as a pendant. It glows feebly as the mist swirls up to it and is absorbed. A zoom out frames two boys sitting across from him—one with pale gray-violet skin; the other with light blue skin. All three have their hoods up and wear the red-gem pendants, and they rock in their seats while they sing.

The three jewels glimmer briefly as they fall silent; cut to the additional two boys' side. The gray-violet one lowers his hood, exposing his hair that is purple, shot through with streaks of light green. Two large purple eyes train themselves across the table as the boy—Anthem Blaze—groans and speaks with a petulant, slightly congested tone.

"That was barely worth the effort, Allegro. I'm tired of fast food. I need a meal." Anthem groaned. 

While Anthem was speaking, the blue-skinned boy puts his own hood down, exposing a worried countenance marked by deep red-violet eyes and medium blue hair. Two streaks of dark blue run its full length. This is Sonant Nightfall, sitting next to Anthem. Allegro Gleam, drops his hood to reveal orange hair marked by lighter highlights and slicked back, as well as eyes that are nearly the same shade as Sonant's. His voice is that of the boy who will brook no argument with her plans.

"The energy in this world isn't the same as in Equestria. We can only gain so much power here." Allegro stated. 

"I wish we'd never been banished to this awful place!" Anthem groaned. 

"Really? I love it here." Allegro said sarcastically with a fake smile and then grimaced.  

"For reals? Because I think this place is the worst." Sonant said. 

"I think you're the worst, Sonant." Anthem stated. 

"Oh, yeah? Well, I think you're—" Sonant said, before being cut off by Allegro's groaning. 

"I'll tell you one thing. Being stuck here with you two isn't making this world any more bearable." Allegro said, talking through his teeth as he finished. 

After he finishes, a great flash of white light erupts behind the hills outside and gives way to a column of energy pouring up toward the sky. Allegro turns to the window, the reflection of this phenomenon playing across his eyes as he opens them wide in surprise. Allegro rushes out to the sidewalk, a sudden wind blowing past him as Anthem moves to follow; the light column has subsided to a glow behind the hills, from which a double helix of rainbow light and a big blast of pink light lances up into the clouds. Allegro can only stare openmouthed as a beam of this multicolored powers shoots straight and true from the high end, connecting with a flash against something behind the hills and ricocheting into the heavens.

Then Allegro's pendent gleams briefly and then he looks up with a gasp.

"Did you feel that?" Allegro asked, shocked. 

Confusion gives way to a malicious grin as he looks at Sonant and Anthem. 

"Do you know what that is?" Allegro asked. 

Sonant and Anthem shrug and noncommittal noises from them; Allegro grabs Anthem's shirt.

 "It's Equestrian magic!" Allegro stated. 

"But this world doesn't have Equestrian magic." Anthem said, pushing Allegro's hand away. 

"It does now. And we're going to use it to make everyone in this pathetic little world adore us." Allegro stated as the three boys smirk. 

All seven, Applejack, Rainbow Dash and Y/n, Pinkie Pie, Y/n 

We used to fight with each other [oh, whoa, whoa-oh, whoa]
