Intro Theme:
Staring down the supercharged OP Trixie, you try to keep your mind as focused as possible.
Okay Nightshade, according to that book Spike found, that Amulet can’t be taken off except by her, so that means I can’t just cheat and take it off. Plus it gives her almost limitless power and is making her even more nuts and…Why did I think this was a good idea again?
Shaking your head to try and focus once more you think,
Whatever, I just have to win before Dad finds out and gets pissed off.

Oh Sweet Celestia, I’m so pissed off right now! You think as you continue your task for the day, staring at the dome and sitting still. Normally it wouldn’t be so bad, but being told to watch it has made it a whole lot worse.
Stupid Dome! Stupid Trixie! Stupid Town!
As you work yourself up, clenching your teeth in anger, you then take a deep breath and close your eyes. You are currently in Phase 2 of the Nightmare Cloak on purpose with your tails swirling around you. You’ve intentionally drawn it out to try something different with it.
Count to ten, just like she was always nagging about. Count to ten…
Before you can even start counting, a loud gasp comes from behind you startling you. Your eyes snap open and one of your tails launches itself towards the source of the noise.
“AAAHHHH!!!” comes the scream of Twilight as it lunges towards her. Realizing this, you are just able to keep the tail from striking her.
"Oh Dear Luna! I-I'm sorry Twilight! It was just instinct!" you apologize as you stand up and diffuse Phase 2.
"An instinct to kill?" Twilight asks in shock as she clutches her chest and takes deep breaths.
Shaking your head you yelp,
"Buck no! It’s a defensive instinct that protects me and my daughter."
"But your daughter isn't here," Twilight states flatly, her breathing back to normal.
“Don’t remind me. Look, I was working myself up imagining her in danger alright?”
As you always tend to do, Selena adds.
Twilight just gives you a questioning look,
“Did you know your tails had formed?”
“Well yeah, I made them come out on purpose.”
“Why would you do that?” she asks flabbergasted.
You sigh at this.
“Well, since I’m just sitting her watching that dome, I decided to try and…ya know, train myself with my tails.”
“Train yourself?” she asks.
“Yeah,” you nod, “I’ve never actually practiced with them or learned to control them.”
“YOU HAVEN’T?!!!” Twilight shouts in shock.
You shrug and say,
“Never really had the opportunity or time.”
“So all those times, all those fights, You Didn’t Know What You Were Doing?!”
“Do you know exactly what you’re doing when you’re angry?” you shoot back.
“Well…no, but,”
“Exactly,” you interrupt. “So yeah, trying to control both of them at the same time, so that I don’t have any more incidents like the Crystal Empire.”
“Right…Right,” she stutters nervously.
Raising an eyebrow you ask,
“So, was there a reason you were sneaking up on me?”
She seems startled at that, before she composes herself and says,
“Yes actually. I wanted to speak to you about something.”
Rolling your eyes, you turn away from her and declare,
BrownDog’s Comment
“Look, if you’re going to say something that will get us arguing again, save it.”
“Um…actually that’s not what I was coming over here for.”
“Oh?” you say turning towards her.
“Look, before all of this is over…” she pauses, “Can you PLEASE get Crackle her to leave my home?”
Your eyes widen at that.
“Huh?”
“Crackle, the dragon you had fly us away last year? She won’t leave my house because she thinks you’ll come back for her.”
“Oh…” you say in understanding. “Well, I don’t really know if I’ll have time to,”
“Can you at least TALK to her? I’m tired of coming home and finding my bed being slept in by her! And don’t get me started on all the snacks and juice she goes through on an almost daily basis.”
“Okay, Okay if there’s time I’ll try,” you say holding your hooves up.
“Thank you,” she grunts. “You have no idea how annoying it is having to deal with her shenanigans.”
“Already said I’d try, you don’t have to convince me anymore,” you point out.
“I…Okay then…” she says before there is a silence between you two. It’s awkward and neither of you knows how to break it as you just stand there. Finally having enough you decide to ask a question you’ve had since yesterday.
Kichi’s Comment
“Say, Bookworm? How exactly did you manage to lose against Trixie?”
An angry glint shines in her eye as she huffs and says,
“I have no clue. I have been studying magic for nearly my entire life, and Trixie was just a show mare and boaster that used cheap tricks. Now she shows up three years later with magical skill that could put her on the level with the Princesses and even Discord.”
“Do you think it was Discord that gave her the power?” you ask almost hopefully.
To your dismay Twilight just sighs and shakes her head no.
“As much as I’d like to think that this was all him, it doesn’t fit his profile, plus Fluttershy wouldn’t like that kind of accusation against him. Besides, Discord’s not the type to not take credit for something chaotic. He’s actually searching the world for you as we speak,” she points out.
“Really?” you pretend to be surprised. “Well good luck with him finding me.”
“However that’s possible,” she just shakes her head again. “But yeah, I have no idea what’s made her more powerful. Her eyes did start glowing red as we dueled, which I thought was out of the ordinary.”
“Her eyes were glowing? Hey, that’s my thing!” you declare grouchily. “Was there anything else off about her?”
“Well…” Twilight thinks, “She wasn’t wearing her usual hat and cape when we dueled. She switched them out for a black cloak and some sort of black and silver necklace with a red jewel in the middle of it. Looked like a unicorn.”
Suddenly, you hear a sputtering of surprise within your mind.
Th-the Amulet? Sombra mutters.
What was that? You ask.
Huh? I mean, what amulet…?
Oh please, we know you know something. Do not insult our intelligence by lying as badly as my changeling.
"Hey!" you shout out loud, startling Twilight.
"What? What is it?!” she asks confused.
“Oi, Butt out Twilight, I’m having another conversation here.”
“What? With who?” she asks, but you ignore her and close your eyes, causing her to groan in frustration.
Blocking out the purple unicorn you ask,
Alright, spill the beans Sumo. What do you know?
He doesn’t speak for a moment, but then your better half demands,
Answer his questions filth!
Fine! What the protégé of the sun has described sounds like something that came from the vaults of Amore herself. The Alicorn Amulet.
The Alicorn Amulet? I have never heard of something called such, Selena muses.
You wouldn’t. It was an experiment her wizards of the Empire cooked up, utilizing the power of my people, he growls. They sought a weapon in case the Princesses were ever corrupted, but because they utilized my Umbrum brethren, the Amulet itself was the thing that would corrupt the wearer. So like a typical princess, she hid it away instead of just destroying it.
Whoa, Whoa! Slow down. Are you saying Princess Amore was the one to make this? To take down an Alicorn?
Precisely. And if I had had that power, this world would be a much different place, he grunts.
Yeesh, you think at the implication. So much for the original Princess of Love.
Indeed. I never took her for the type to be pragmatic and cautionary.
Her caution didn’t save her in the end, Sombra chuckles darkly.
Hey! Quit laughing at dark stuff. And if it was hidden away, how do you know about it?
From her notes, and because I searched for the damn thing. As you can clearly see, I didn’t find it.
Yeah yeah, but what did you mean it was the thing that corrupted?
The wearer is said to be driven mad by the power it bestows, and become addicted to it like a drug.
Oh great, so Trixie’s riding a power high AND it’s making her nuts…I guess that’d explain why she thinks I’d want a town overthrown and would still be her friend…you muse before shaking your head.
So what, do we just have to get that necklace off of her and the power goes away?
If you don’t wish to die, then yes. But please do fight her without removing it. It will be glorious, he snarls, before you hear him cry out in pain.
I’ve warned you time and time again not to threaten HIM! Selena yells.
It’s not a threat if it’s true, he growls.
Calm down Selly, he only wishes I would die that easily. But still, I’m going up against the power of a freaking Alicorn? How am I supposed to win that? I mean, it’s not like anyling else is nuts enough to face her with all that juice…

"You want a magic show?" you declare at the top of your lungs, breaking the stare down you two had going. You then bring your hooves down on a boulder that’s sitting near the fountain for some reason.
"Fine! Let’s get to magicing!" Using your earth bending, you toss the large boulder up into the sky. Everyone looks up in awe as you earth bend some more to chip the boulder and create the head of your mommy with an angry face.
“TOM! NOOOOO!!!” Rarity screeches at the top of her lungs in anguish, but you ignore her. You then slam the rock of your mommy’s head right in front of Trixie, creating a sizeable crater.
"Beat that mother bucker!"
“Oh, a statue of Princess Luna angry, I’m sooo scared,” Trixie sarcastically mocks.
“That’s not Princess Luna, that’s my m…” you begin before with a blast of her magic the statue is transformed into dust and thrown to the wind.
“TTTTTOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!” Rarity bellows and begins openly weeping.
Trixie just raises an eyebrow at her before asking you,
“What’s her problem?”
“She’s a drama queen that likes toying with hearts, so your guess is as good as mine,” you declare with a shrug.
“Right…But anyway, HA! No snarling visage can beat Trixie!” she boasts.
“Oh, so angry doesn’t work for you huh?” you declare with a smirk.
Kichi’s Comment
"Fine then, I'll show you, one something that will pierce even your icy heart!”
You then contort your face in concentration as the group and Trixie look at you in anticipation. It all comes to a head when you open your eyes and say,
“Surrender and give us our town back, pretty please?” This is punctuated by the most intense puppy dog eyes you’ve ever given.
“HRK!” Trixie falters and places a hoof to her chest, as do many other adults who were caught in the crossfire.
“I’d really, really appreciate it,” you say innocently, fluttering your eyelashes.
"Gyah! Trixie will not give into your cuteness!” she struggles to say.
“Are you suuuuurreee?” you stretch out your words into sickeningly sweet crescendos.
"Gah!! Too much cuteness!” Trixie yelps closing her eyes.
Smiling vindictively, you know she’s on the ropes, but then…
BrownDog’s Comment
“You won’t be cute for long! Behold, My Aging Magic!” she then blasts you and suddenly your body feels weird.
“AAAAHHHH!!!” you shout as all of a sudden your view shifts and you see Trixie on an even level. She has a confused look on her face.
“Odd, that was supposed to turn you into an old mare,” she mutters.
“What did you…do…to me?” you ask as you notice your voice sounds different.
“Duuuhhh…” you look out into the crowd and see countless Stallions and a few mares gawking at you. Spike’s tongue is hanging out of his head.
“What? What is…” you then notice that your legs are longer, as is your horn. You look into the reflection of the nearest window and see that you now have your mother’s figure. The one she has now, not the original.
Oh wow, is that what I’m going to look like in a few years? Dang. I’m like one of those mares in a fashion magazine. Daddy wouldn’t want me in one though, but what do you know old man? I can do whatever I want! I’ll have stallions eating out of my hooves for my adoration, every mare will be so jealous of me and…
Your eyes widen as you realize teenaged hormones are flooding your brain and effecting how you think.
“AAAAHHHH!!!” you yell before glaring at Trixie. “Change me back, Change me back!” you yell in panic.
“Um…right. Trixie’s spell must be getting rusty,” she theorizes as she de-ages you back to your true form.
“Aaaaahhhh,” the audience groans, followed very quickly by several hoofs to the back of the heads of those who groaned.
“Don’t ever do that again!” you snarl. “I’m trying to age naturally now thank you very much!”
“Well, ahem, Still I have done something that not even you can accomplish, even if you will grow to have the figure of Princess Luna,” Trixie boasts.
“Oh really? I can’t do that?” you then look to the audience. “Does anyone have a piece of coal?”
They all look at each other in confusion.
“Really? Nopony?”
“There should be some on the train…but it’s kind of outside the dome so…” Mayor Mare says from within her bird cage.
“Ugh!” you then glare at Trixie. “Magic me some coal!”
Rolling her eyes, Trixie does just that.
“I don’t see the point in this, how is this going to match my aging spell?”
“Easy,” you declare as you grip the piece of coal between your two hoofs. “I’m going to make something new, out of something old.
Using your earth bending, and a lot of strain, you crush the coal between your hoofs. After about a minute, you let up and start panting before holding up a small glittering diamond for all to see.
Trixie and the audience’s eyes widen at that.
“Beat that,” you say smugly.
She then points her horn at Crackle and unleashes magic, transforming her into…a different more noticeably feminine form.
“Blarg?!” Crackle cries out in confusion standing on two legs looking at her sleek new form.
“See, I can turn something ugly into something pretty as well,” Trixie smirks.
“Hey! That’s mean!” you yell before looking to Crackle. “It’s Okay Crackle, you were already beautiful just the way you were.”
“Uhhhh…honk?” she asks.
“Don’t worry Crackle, once I beat her, you’ll go back to normal.”
Crackle just shrugs as if she doesn’t care one way or the other.
“Now Trampsy! You want me to bring out the big guns? Fine!”
Kichi’s Comment
You then concentrate really really hard, for real this time.
“And what is this supposed to accomplish?” Trixie mocks.
“Check the horizon you tart!” you grunt.
Everyone looks to the horizon before they gasp for half of the moon is slowly rising above it. It takes a lot of concentration and energy, but once you’re sure they’ve all seen it, you let it go and it drops back down out of sight where it belongs.
Gasping you look at her smugly and say,
“With apologies to Princess Luna, Beat that,” you say inbetween gasps.
Trixie just looks back to you with an amused face.
BrownDog’s Comment
“Nice illusion kid. But I can do you one better.”
“ILLUSION?!” you yell in indignation. “I moved the freaking moon! I was like Nightmare Mooning it up in here!"
“Oh really? Then care to move it again?” she deadpans.
“Hey, that took a lot out of me Okay?!” you reply.
“Sure it did. That’s your problem kid. When it comes to illusions, don’t put too much effort into making a ginormous one. Go for short and simple.”
“But it wasn’t a freaking ill-“
You are then interrupted as Trixie summons a Timberwolf right in front of you that roars in your face.
“AAAHHH!!!” you yell and instinctively try to punch it, only for your hoof to go through, and your swing to make you lose your balance and fall to the ground.
“Muhahaha! Illusion magic at it’s finest. It’s the little things that sell it. Something Sparkle forgot to mention,” Trixie gloats.
Gritting your teeth you walk up to Trixie and declare,
“Oh, you want to see illusion magic?” you then stick your face into hers and shift yourself into your changeling hybrid form with pure blue eyes and two sharp teeth.
“BOO!” you shout.
“GYAGH!” Trixie falls over backwards startled by your sudden appearance.
“Oh get over yourself. I’m still adorable,” you snark before shifting your form back to Unicorn.
“Ch-Cheap trick, but it shall do you no good little brat,” Trixie huffs as she gets back up.
“Oh sure, just like me moving the moon was a cheap trick?”
Trixie just rolls her eyes,
“You were caught in the lie kid, move on.”
You groan in anger, even as you feel a headache coming on from what you just did.
“Hmm. Trixie can see that you are on the verge of collapse. In that case, she will take it easy on you,” she smirks.

She teleports the purple paddle into your hoof just as another flash of magic makes a ping pong table appear between the two of you.
“Ping Pong? Really?” you deadpan.
“Of course. Truly the skill game of the gods,” she responds her eyes unfocused as she laughs madly.
You wince at her insane laughter, before looking at the table and your paddle. You’ve never played this before, but thankfully your dad did show you a movie that taught you what the rules were.
Alright Forrest Rump, let’s see if you can save my bacon.
Trixie then summons a ball and serves it towards you.
You then use your magic to levitate the paddle up to your head and wind it back. With a quick swing of your magic, you swat back the ball, and it bounces to your right on Trixie's half of the table.
Trixie's eyes glow red for a quick second as she reacts fast and uses her paddle to strike back at the ball heading towards her left.
The ball bounces on your side of the table, heading to your far left.
You again strike the ball. Since it was on your far left, it goes straight to Trixie's far right.
Gasping, she quickly brings her paddle to her right and swings, barely hitting it.
This back and forth continues on for twenty consecutive hits, and the ball keeps getting faster and faster with each strike.
The enraptured audience keeps moving their eyes back and forth trying to follow the ball that’s quickly becoming a blur.
“Woohoo! Go Filly Go!”
“You Can Do it Shade!”
“Yeah! Beat Dat Hoe!”
“Honk Honk!”
The audience cheers for you, but you barely hear them as you keep your eye on the ball.
I never knew this game was so INTENSE!!!
Even with your intense focus, you do notice that Trixie is straining and sweating just as much as you are. After many more hits, the ball is going so fast that no one in the audience can keep up with it’s movements. Not even Rainbow Dash.
How you and Trixie are reacting is beyond comprehension, but you don’t let up even as you grit your teeth, pushing through the pain.
The both of you reaching your limits, Trixie suddenly yells,
"Trixie has had enough of this game!"
Her eyes glow fiercely as the magic holding her paddle intensifies, and her swing becomes just as fast or faster than the ball, and she strikes. The ball hits your side of the table at tremendous speed and bounces into the sky out of your reach.
"Ha! Trixie wins!" She declares before plopping to the ground, clearly worn out from the game.
You want more than anything to collapse yourself, but your eyes harden in determination. You have to win. For your Dad’s sake. To save Ponyville, to avenge Twilight and your friends.
“Match Point!” you shout as your eyes glow white.
You then teleport above the Ping Pong ball as it reaches it’s crescendo in the sky. Both you and the ball then begin falling towards the ground as everyone gasps.
Gripping your paddle in your hoof to the point of breaking, you wind up and cry out,
"FALCON SWING!"
Before striking the ball with your fire encased hoof.
The ball infused with this new power, breaks the sound barrier and catches fire as it makes a beeline for Trixie’s side of the table.
She quickly gets back up, her paddle ready, but it doesn’t matter. The fire encased ball strikes her side of the table, and goes completely through it, before leaving a crater in the dirt underneath. The table catches fire while the crowd goes nuts and Trixie’s jaw drops.
You sigh as you plummet, really wishing you knew how to fly.
Luckily, Rainbow Dash catches you mid-air, and gently descends down to the ground into the mass of cheering and celebrating ponies.
“Nice catch Rainbow,” you say.
“No problem kiddo. That move was freaking AWESOME!!!”
The crowd of ponies begin hugging you and praising you, but you wave them off as you exit the crowd and glare at the still slack jawed Trixie standing in front of her burning ping pong table.
"I won! Now Get The Buck Out of Town!" you order.
Trixie looks from the table to you and back before declaring.
“No! Trixie Refuses!”
You grit your teeth in anger. "You mother bucking... keep your promise you BACK STABBING B!%$#!!!"
“The only one Trixie ever keeps promises to is The Hooded Offender! And besides, you broke and set the table on fire, which is clearly against the rules in a game of Ping Pong!”
“Oh Bullspit!”
“You destroyed the table and I didn’t have a chance to strike back, thus YOU forfeit the match, and the duel!” she declares.
Your anger rises as for the umpteenth time your eyes blaze with enough magic to blast her to the sun.
“You…Sore…LOSER!” you rage.
“No, it is you that has lost. Accept defeat student of Sparkle.”
The crowd begins to yell their objections.
"But she won fair and square!" Spike yells.
"She won! Get out!" The CMC and other foals said.
"You made those rules up!” the Elements declare (still with their duel colored coats)
“ENOUGH!!!” Trixie shouts sending out a wave of magic that shuts everyone up.
“The rules are the rules. I had the last point, and as the ball went through the table and did not bounce, it doesn’t count. I win…”
Your teeth feel like you’re grinding them to dust at this little injustice.

“Now, come to me my new Apprentice, MUHAHAHAHAHA!!!” she declares with a lightning strike out of nowhere.
“Yeah, how about no.”
“What?” she asks. “But you said…”
“Buck what I said. Two can play at this game.”
You then look to Pinkie, whose eyes look at you in sadness.
“Pinkie…I’m sorry but…I can’t keep this promise.”
Her eyes widen as you glare fully at Trixie.
“I’m not going to be your apprentice Trixie. I’m going to beat you to a pulp,” you say as you start barreling towards her.
“I am not above harming children you little brat!” she declares her horn glowing.
“Neither am I!” you yell, but suddenly you feel hooves wrapping around you. Your friends, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy are holding you back.
“No! Don’t do this, it doesn't have to be this way,” Fluttershy pleads.
“It’s not worth it, don’t break this promise,” Sweetie begs.
“Twilight will come soon,” Scootaloo says.
“She’ll fix everything just,” Applebloom starts before you yell.
“TWILIGHT CAN’T SOLVE EVERYTHING!!!” before launching them back off of you.
You then continue your run right towards that smug traitor.
“NIGHTSHADE! Don’t!” Spike yells.
You ignore him and continue to wind up your strike, as you do you notice Trixie’s eyes lose their malice and insanity for a moment.
“Nightshade?” she gasps.
As you are about to strike, there is a flash of light and suddenly, you and Trixie are on the other side of the town, alone.
You turn around and see her staring intently at you.
Snarling you wind up and try to strike her, but she teleports out of the way. You jump at her, and she teleports again. Three more times this happens until you yell,
“Stop Spamming Teleport and accept your beating!”
She then magics up a wall between you two that you struggle against.
“Who are you?” Trixie demands.
“What?” you shout.
“Who are you?” she repeats.
“Who do you think? The filly that’s gonna kick you’re a-“
“That dragon, he called you Nightshade…Why?” she demands.
“Because that’s my name you traitorous whorse,” you growl right in her face as you stop striking the wall. Again, a shocked look comes across it.
“N-Nightshade?” Trixie stutters. “But that’s the name he…the name of his…”
“Yeah, I’m his daughter!” you declare now that you’re out of sight and hearing from the crowd. “You may not have seen me, but I saw you!” You accuse.
“I…I…” she stammers.
“I what? Huh? I what? Spit it out!”
“I…I did see you once… at a glance,” Trixie admits, making you pause. “I was coming back from shopping, I saw him place a dark colored sleeping filly into his bags…he said your name was Nightshade,” she says her tone calming down in remembrance as she looks you over. “Y-You had wings…”
You glare at her and wordlessly shift into your Alicorn form, causing her eyes to widen more.
“The fliers said you were the reincarnation of Nightmare Moon, but he said it was lies. That you were his daughter…” Her eyes lose their red hue as she places a hoof on the barrier separating you two. She actually looks…happy. You shake your head from being lulled in and declare,
“Well here I am fully awake whorse!”
She winces a bit at that, before her eyes flash red for a moment.
“Where? Where is he?” She asks looking around the town.
“Don’t worry, he’s coming, and Tartarus is coming with him traitor.”
“I’m Not A Traitor!” she yelps, her eyes flashing again. “That’s a lie. It’s all Sparkler’s fault! She tricked me!”
“Bullspit! You wanted fame and glory so you sold us up the river!”
“Y-You’re confused child. Once he’s here, we can explain the whole thing and we'll all be happy again!”
“Fat chance! You almost got me killed! If it weren’t for my hankering for Ice Cream, I might have actually been crushed by that giant bear because YOU sent my daddy to jail!” you screech and strike the wall.
“N-No, NO! That’s not how it happened. It just can’t be,” she declares as her eyes and the amulet around her neck glow.
She then makes her creepy bear appear and begins talking to it.
“I didn’t betray him. It wasn’t my fault!” She then puts on a different voice and moves the bear around like it’s actually talking.
“That’s right Trixie, Everypony is a liar. He’ll come back to you, and you’ll all make them pay, Pupupupupu.”
“Yeeesss…That’s true, pupupu,” she says in her normal voice.
You back up a bit from the crazy and just shake your head.
“It doesn’t matter what you believe, or how far off your rocker you are. Daddy is still gonna get in here and kick your flank seven ways to Sunday.”
“H-He’ll have no reason to hurt me. We’re friends Nightshade,” she says with her creepy smile.
She then suddenly winces and looks towards the east.
You look yourself, and see that there are flashes near the edges of the dome.
“Wh-what is that?” she asks.
You smirk and say,
“That’s Daddy, come to see his dear “Friend” again,” you say sardonically with a wicked smile.
She doesn’t appear to notice your inflection as a smile adorns her face.
“Hoody…” she gasps in delight before she teleports the both of you.
POV Change: Bugze
During the Ping Pong Match
After explaining to Twilight and Zecora about your hunch about the Alicorn Amulet (You told them you studied ancient legends as a hobby which couldn’t be further from the truth) they went about going through Zecora’s tomes to see if there was any information about it.
As they did that, you sat about trying to control your anger once again, while watching the dome.
“…8…9…10…1…2…You know, this anger management counting is bullspit!” you growl.
It’s all about concentration and focus. Don’t let anything distract you.
Well that’s easier said than done. I mean, look at that flaming light above Ponyville for example, you think pointing as you see a falling object surrounded by fire.
"Wait a minute, what the buck?"
You then stand up and declare,
“Sight Beyond Sight!” and your vision zooms in on the object.
“It looks like some sort of purple and black object speeding towards the ground…Wait…” you then see the object wind it’s arm up in mid air and see...
“NIGHTSHADE!!!” you yell as your sight unzooms. Then, before Zecora and Twilight can come out and question you, you dart into the forest towards the dome, knocking over anything in your path.

WE HAVE TO GET HER RIGHT NOW! Selena screams in your head.
Yes! We must protect my little overlord! Sombra duggedly blurts out.
I know that! Buck! How the heck did she get into the sky?!
That pathetic magician must have something to do with it! Rip and Tear her! Selena screeches.
I thought you were supposed to be all chill right now from the little bit of drugs you took? You think, as you Psycho Crusher through a tree that didn’t have the decency to get out of your way.
Enough blathering about details! OUR DAUGHTER IS IN DANGER!!!
Eventually, you get right up to the edge of the bubble and start wailing on it with all you’ve got!
“Just *Punch* Bucking *Punch* Break *Punch* Already!” you yell as you wail on the barrier to no effect.
“Gyagh! There is no change from last time!”
Try something else besides punching! Selena urges.
You listen to her and pull out your Boomstick and Second Law.
“Weapons, do what my fists can’t! AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!” you then start striking and shooting the wall, causing flashes of light to spark when you do.
“You know what? It’s time for the big guns!” you then crank your Power Glove to Mix Up.
“Now!” you declare as both fire and electricity surge through your hand, “Would You Kindly GET THE BUCK OUT OF *FLASH* WHOA! OOMPH!” your swing hits empty air and you accidentally pitch yourself forward and onto the ground.
Looking behind you, you see that the dome has momentarily lifted, allowing you entrance.
“Umm, did I do that?” you ask aloud.
As if to answer you, the dome falls back into place, with you on the inside.
“Right…” shaking your head you focus and declare, “Alright, enough messing around, I have to find Nightshade and Triiiiiiii….” Your words catch in your throat as you see the mare standing ten yards away with Nightshade beside her. She has a loopy grin on her face.
“Hoody! It’s you. It’s really, actually you!” she declares sounding relieved.
“…iiiiiixxxxXXXXXIIIIIEEEE!!!!” you yell.
“Yes, it’s Me. TRIXIE! You’re old Great and Powerful Friend.”
You shake uncontrollably in rage at her words, watching her have the gall to smile in your direction.
“Now that you’re back, we can finally get our payback upon this town. This horrible town that separated us, we can make them know the despair we’ve felt,” she monologues, stepping towards you, oblivious to your glowing eyes.
Nightshade looks to you and lets out a sigh.
“Finally you’re here,” she then Falcon Punches Trixie in the mouth.
“YOWCH!” Trixie cries out and holds her jaw. “Nightshade, why would you do that?” she asks.
“Because my promise was up, I agreed not to fight till Daddy showed up. Now it’s his turn,” she says backing away.
“His turn for what? He wouldn’t hurt his old fr-“
“FALCON PUNCH!!!” you roar as you sucker punch the unaware mare, and send her flying back into town.
“Didn’t see that coming did you?! HUH?!”
“Nice hit dad.”
You then turn to Nightshade and see that she is in her alicorn state.
“Before I go deal with her, What were you doing up in the sky on fire young lady?” you scold.
“I, uh… heh heh, I kind of got into a ping pong match from Tartarus against her.”
“…What?!”
“Well you see, I kind of led a resistance of foals and adults in a prank war on Trixie. We had her on the ropes, but then she just snapped and went completely bonkers, and I got mad and since I told her I wouldn’t fight her, she challenged me to a magic duel, WHICH I TOTALLY WON!!! But yeah, then someone said my name and she remembered me. Oh and by the way, totally didn’t “Fight” her, so I didn’t break your promise.”
“…Um…Wow,” you say taking all that in.
Oh merciful gods, how does this child continue to give me near heart attacks when my heart isn’t even physical? Selena gasps in relief and frustration.
“Yeah…She’s nuts dad. She actually thinks you two are still friends.”
You turn your glare back to town.
“In her dreams,” you seethe.
“Also Dad, she has something on her that’s making her more powerful, it’s called the Ali-“
“Corn amulet, yeah I already know. Ol Smokey filled me in,” you say with hard eyes.
ThePonySpartan’s Comment
You then look back to her and say.
“Nopony saw you transform into an alicorn right?”
“No, just Trixie, but she already knew.”
You nod your head at this.
“Good. Let the ponies think Nightshade and BST disappeared. After I deal with her, we’re gone.”
“Yeah…alright. I did have one more good day with Spikey and the girls, so I’m good.”
“Right. So while I’m-Wait, What? What did you just call-“
“ANYWAY!” she interrupts, “I’m actually kind of beat from that magic duel. Moving the freaking moon took a lot out of me, and I got my punch in on her.”
She then hops into the Saddlebags, before poking her head out again.
“Daddy…do what you have to, but don’t go overboard…Please?”
You sigh.
“I’ll try honey…I’ll try.”
She then nods and closes the flap.
With her safely inside, you begin to march into town where you sent Trixie flying.
When you enter the town square, you see a crowd of ponies looking over Trixie who is in a light crater.
The ponies all seem a bit terrified, and some of them seem battered. For some reason, The rest of the Deadly 6 and Big Red are all monochromatic. You decide that info doesn’t matter for the moment as you hear someone yelp,
“She’s waking up!”
“Uuuuuggghhh, What is…Who are…” she says dizzily.
“That’s what you get for messing with Nightshade!” you hear Spike growl in satisfaction.
“Yeah!” Scootaloo tells like Bulk Biceps.
“You bit off more than you could chew with her!” Applebloom chastises.
“And she’ll do much worse if you don’t leave!” Sweetie Belle admonishes.
“B-But it wasn’t her, it was…It was…” Trixie stammers.
“PONYVILLE!!!” you roar in the RCV causing them all to turn around and gasp in shock.
“Would You Kindly get away from the gutter trash?!”
All of the citizens begin to back away from Trixie as they all watch you carefully, some with hate, and others in admiration. You hear the whispers, the hateful and fearful thinking that you’ve come to help Trixie, and the admirable and hopeful thinking that you’ve come to save them.
Fluttershy has a gleam in her eye, as do the members of your new Horde. Applejack and Rainbow look furious, Pinkie seems…sad, and Rarity looks like she’s been bawling her eyes out as she holds rock dust in her hooves for some reason.
You decide to ignore them, and train your red and orange eyes onto the confused mare sitting in the crater.
“If none of you want to get hurt, I suggest that you all get to the outskirts of town IMMEDIATELY!” you declare. “This is your only warning!”
That causes all of them, the hopeful and hateful alike to look worried.
“H-Hoody Wait!” Trixie declares as she sits up. “You can’t send them away. What about getting vengeance upon those who betrayed you?!”
You fix her with your glare and even through your anger, you say with a level voice,
“I’m about to.”
Silently, and slowly, and deliberately the Nightmare Cloak forms upon you causing the citizens to heed your warning and get away as fast as possible.
“It’s been three years Trixie. Three years of pain, and torment and suffering,” you growl as the Cloak continues to form, almost peacefully across your form.
“Three years of running and fighting…all because of you…”
The cloak then finishes forming immediately upon your Phase 3, and Trixie looks both confused and horrified.
“Three years Trixie. I’ve come to collect your due…”
“H-Hoody?” she stammers out in fear and confusion.
WHAT DO YOU DO?
Outro Theme:
Ponyville was in awe to the image, as somehow Trixie become a living ball of Volley or of Ping Pong. As the Hooded Offender throw a kick to Trixie launching her to the sky, Nightshade somehow jumped and returned with a kick sending her to the offender again, just so that the offender punch the blue unicorn and Nightshade make a dash and hit her again returning her to the offender, many ponies could not see the mare that tormented them being hurted like that, and even less the image of the young filly giving part of the punishment as if it was a game but at the same time they could not stop watching, even when they began to use weapons.
Nightshade took a canon from her inventory and before Trixie could do anything, she landed in there and was throw again to the offender that answered with his glove.
"Could you Kindly... BURN BURN BURN!!" Shout the hooded offender
When the balls of fire were launched, they were blocked by Trixie at no-distance making a explosion that sended Trixie even more to the air.
"OFFENDER STOP!" Shout Twilight distracting the Hooded Offender as Trixie fall making a hole in the floor
"Why should I stop? Is because her, that everything happen... If she was not here, you could not be banished or your friends in danger... Don't you see? It's better to take care of her now! Give me one reason why should I stop?" Ask the Offender
"One? I give you three... The first one is Flag Burner... Are you really going to kill another pony? Because at this rate you don't seem to be able to stop, just like you did with Flag Burner" Say Twilight
Bugzee could feel his rage begin to decrease as Twilight say that and could remember what happened with Flag Burner, and how bad did he feel after that, it was thanks to his friends that could be on his hoofs again.
"The second reason is the Crystal Empire... If you don't control your rage, are you going to let what happened in the empire be repeated? Don't let your rage consume you!" Comment Twilight
Again he could feel how his rage with Trixie decrease, still having his rage and wanting to hurt her, but not as hard as he did until now.
"Right... What about the final reason?" Ask the hooded offender
"Your friends... Think of Zecora, Do you think she could be happy if you become a monster by killing Trixie? You told me before that it was mainly your bad luck, that you are not a monster and you didn't want to do any evil thing. Well, now is your chance to show it to me. Show us that you are not a monster or a villain" Say Twilight looking to the hooded offender to the eyes.
"I..." Begin to say the offender.
------------
Sorry, I'm kind of burned out right now so I'm not really able to come up with anything for right now. (Finals Week always wears my mind down way too much.)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tS-zVv35meM (Fits perfectly)
You glare at Trixie with all your hate. She's the reason you live this terrible life. It's ALL. HER! FAULT!!!
You slam your tails in front of you to propel yourself forward, towards the dazed and confused Trixie. She barely has time to notice you when Psycho Crusher at her. You land a satisfying direct hit and land on your hooves. You look onwards to see Trixie in another crater that her impact made. She gets up weakly and says, "H-Hoody please..."
You ignore her words and teleport in front of her, giving her a Falcon Punch straight in the gut before she reacts. She gags and coughs up a bit of blood. You then falcon kick her back and close your orange eye while widening your red one in pure rage. You point your piercing red eye at Trixie, and with one painful beat from you red eye...
"AMATERASU!!!"
Trixie gets inflamed with the black flames and screams in agony, but after a couple of seconds, her horn flashes blinding red and the screaming stops. You didn't cover your eyes as you weren't focusing on that, but the red flash still blocked your vision, so when the flash ended, the black fire was gone and Trixie was staring at you.
"I'm sorry Hoody. It looks like you're out of control again." She says in monotone as her eyes are complete red. "I'll fix you, kay?" She then immediately fires a magic beam at you, which you slam away with your tails. Trixie then lifts herself up in the air with her magic and starts blasting magic at you repeatedly.
You dodge some and block others. But you're not here for a fight, you're here for revenge.
You reach into you The Inventory and pull out Nightshade's Dark Cannon from her Inventory within your bag. You use your two tails to hold it up like a stationary turret while you freely run with your four hooves.
You dodge another magic blast and fire back at Trixie, who in turn dodges your shot.
You growl and use your remaining tails to climb a nearby building. You then use your tails to slam on the roof and jump in the air, succeeding in dodging another magic blast from Trixie and headed straight towards her.
Before she can do anything you take the Dark Cannon and bash it on her head, making her slam to the ground down below. Afterward, gravity makes you fall as well and you land on your hooves near Trixie, who just got up.
Trixie focuses her magic on her right hoof and tries to punch you. You duck and dodge with ease, and again Falcon Punch her in the stomach, but this time, before she falls...
"NO SHADOW BARRAGE!!!"
You kick her relentlessly, making sure you get the Dark Cannon out of the way and get some good hits on her, and you end it with a massive slap with your tail, sending her far back into Sweet Apple Acres.
You follow to where her body's headed right away, and you soon find out that she ended up inside the farm house via a hole she created. You scream out to the skies before pointing your horn at her lifting herself up inside the barn. You charge your horn and feel Selena pouring magic into it as well. You aim the Dark Cannon at the barn also and fire it along with your's and selena's magic.
Two dark magic beams crossed over and merged as it headed towards the show mare. Speaking of the mare, she procured a spell shield with her dark magic and tried to block the attack. Soon she realized it was useless against your attack as her shield slowly cracked.
"I have no one who can support me..."
Trixie looks at you.
"I'm always on the run."
Sombra starts to add magic to the equation.
"My daughter is always in danger."
Your tails grip the cannon tighter.
"Everypony is after me, I'm always on the run."
Spike and the CMC alone quietly approach from far behind, unknown to you.
"And it's ALL YOUR FAULT!!!"
Trixie's shield breaks and she gets hit directly by the two combined magic blasts. She was blasted through the other side of the barn, making another hole.
You chase after her yet again.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qb5Z8E0MoLY Next chapter may not be the final chapter facing Trixie, but I needed to write this.
You stalk Trixie, who is slowly trying to get away. You had enough of this and teleported next to her.
Trixie shakingly and as slow as a sloth turned her head towards you with the most horrified look Equestria has seen, as you just stare down at her with the terrifying glare Tartarus has ever seen under the night. Without any hesitation, you use one of your tails to slap Trixie at her stomach, to which she deeply gags at, to launch her directly up high in the dark sky.
You then wrap your tail around your right hoof, bend down, and slowly start charging a massive attack, making your hoof and tails light up in a midnight fire. The midnight fire gets brighter and larger each second, lighting up the area.
Meanwhile, Trixie was helplessly flailing in the air with blood escaping her throat.
As Trixie came closer from above, you finished charging your attack, and by timing it perfectly, you landed your attack before she hit the ground in front of you, hitting her face... hard.
"FALCON PUNCH!"
Trixie was launched back with massive speed, being smashed through many buildings.
You wait a while until the sounds of her body hitting things stopped, and you use your magic to teleport to wherever she ended up.
You end up standing next to her body splayed out on the floor in front of the edge to the barrier.
Her body was a mess. She was damaged all over and any normal pony wouldn't ever survive. But because of the amulet, her wounds weren't that major.
You step over her body and flip her on her back, seeing her beaten up face. Her eyes were closed and a bit swollen and her mouth was swollen as well.
You pin her down with your left forehoof and raise your right one. You wrap a tail around it as you silently say. "Falcon Punch..." It charges up and you bring it down on her face for what seemed like the hundredth time.
You kept repeating this; Using your right forehoof to Falcon Punch her over and over with no restraint. Her lower body rose up each time from the sheer force coming down on her face and the surrounding area lit up for the couple of seconds your hoof was lit up. She couldn't say anything, she couldn't do anything, she was helpless. This went on for ten minutes...
Behind you, Spike and the CMC approach, and you decide to finally stop punching her in the face.
"I knew you wouldn't side with that crazy mare..." Spike said. "M-...Maybe Twilight and the others will finally realize that you're not evil."
You didn't reply, instead you just stared at Trixie's body lying on the floor.
"Um... by the way. Where's Nightshade?" Sweetie Belle asks.
You get up and look down on her broken body, which would be much worse if it wasn't for that amulet.
Speaking of which, you use your tails to force the amulet off, which surprises Sombra. You ignore him and stuff the blasted amulet in your saddle bag before looking back at Trixie.
"I want to hurt you for three years, in correlation to the three years my daughter and I have suffered. And with this amulet, it's possible."
She didn't reply.
"But I have better things to. Like living with my daughter away from YOU!" You slowly turn away from her and turn to the four who followed you.
Spike surprisingly didn't look shocked or scared, he just stared at you with a stern look. Apple Bloom looked hesitant while Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo looked like the only ones to be a bit frightened at the scene. You sigh and say, "If you're looking for Nightshade, she's with her father." You then start to walk away silently as the barrier begins to fall due to the amulet being taken off.
"W-wait...!"
You stop but don't turn to look at that traitor. You also hear many hoofsteps coming your way.
8005281 's comment
8004887 If I may make a suggestion, the comment you made back in 'Episode 70: Dawn of the Final Day Part 2' with the ending of the fight was quite good. I feel that it would be a pretty good way to end it.
AFTER TRIXIE IS DEALT WITH
WITH THE CRIMSON KNIGHTS
Guard 1: "So did you hear about the Ponyville mishap?"
Guard 2: "Which one? Isn't there a new mishap every other day?"
Guard 1: "The one that happened before the Princesses arrived with the Saddle Arabian delegates."
Guard 2: "Can't say I did. What happened? Did Twilight go and make a tree sentient and it started throwing apples at passing ponies?"
Guard 1: "No, although I would not be surprised to hear that did happen."
MEANWHILE IN PONYVILLE
Twilight: "Hmm"
Spike: "What is it Twilight?"
Twilight: "I just read about a creature that 'Spoke for the Trees'. I wonder what trees would say if they could."
BACK WITH THE GUARDS
Guard 2: "Well, feelings of irony aside, what happened?"
Guard 1: "Apparently some showmare took over the town."
Guard 2: "How did that happen?"
Guard 1: "She used the aid of some ancient dark magical amulet that made her magic on par with the Princesses."
Guard 2: "Buck me running. Why would she want control of that town? Did it have anything to do with the Element Bearers living there?"
Guard 1: "If my source is to be believed, no. She apparently had some bad history there and wanted to get back at the town. the Bearers living there was a pure coincidence. But she had said that she was doing this to help out the Hooded Offender."
Guard 2: "Really? She was in league with him? Did he plan this?"
Guard 1: "My source said that was not the case, even if the Hooded Offender was there, which apparently he was, but did not like this mare either, something about bad blood between them."
Rutherford: "Well does that mean that we are going to get a new "friend" down here? It is getting a bit stagnate here. We have already told all the good stories and could use some fresh blood to liven the place up."
Guard 1: "No. She is not affiliated with your lot and anyway, she is being sent to a mental institution to help her. Apparently this amulet corrupts ponies into doing terrible things they would not normally do. After she has been saved, she will be a free mare again."
Rutherford: "That is bucked up! Most of us did not attack a town, and none of us acted in the Hooded Offender's name, but sure we're the bad guys. *mumbling* Stupid magical jewelry clause."
Guard 1: "Anyway that is what happened apparently."
Guard 2: "Why do you keep saying apparently? It's getting annoying."
Guard 1: "Sorry, since I heard this from my source, I can't verify the validity of the story until we get it in our weekly Equestrian update."
Guard 2: "Well who is this source of yours anyway? And since when do you have information sources?"
Guard 1: "I don't have information sources, my cousin runs the joke shop in Ponyville and he told me. He usually tells me when something crazy, well crazier than usual happens there."
At some point Trixie breaks down and admits full out that she betrayed you. And the entire town, those nearby anyway, including Twilight, hear the confession.
As You are about to strike Trixie down...you hear a faint voice say "...do not become the monster everyone believes you to be...be merciful...."
~Random ghost voice, thought it would be a good idea.
Somehow it come to me after reading this part
8005075
One of the prisoners looked to the guards
"Can we excuse ourselves by saying that we were not in our mind and that the hooded offender brainwashed us to do evil things?" Ask Kichi
"Shut up bug! And no... As much as that could work with somepony else, That it's not going to work for this group" Say Guard 1
"Crap" Groan Kichi
I'd actually really like to see Bugze able to have control over himself in this fight, brought on by the rage and heat of battle. I say this is possible because of the finale of Avatar the Last Airbender, where he gains full control over the avatar state just by the battle / getting hit on the back and realizing what he must do. And, like the show, don't forget Nightshades words, and spare Trixie...but not without doing SOMETHING to her as a punishment, besides killing her. He's already got a death count, it doesn't need to go up any more really.
"B-b-but this doesn't make any sense." Trixie stammers in disbelief, "Y-you wanted this!"
"Yes Trixie, I wanted you to enslave the whole town right as I was putting on a pretty tut- OF COURSE I DON'T WANT THIS YOU CRAZY BITCH!!!" you yell-snark.
Trixie pulls out a bi-colored bear and puts on a different voice and moves the bear around like it’s actually talking.
“He doesn't just want the despair of other ponies, he wants the sweetest despair of all, his own. Pupupupupu.”
"What the buck is-" you ask in confusion when Trixie interrupts,
"*gasp* Of course! That explains everything! If it's despair you want, then it's despair the GREAT AND POWERFUL TRIXIE WILL PROVIDE!!!"
And they say I'm craz- Sudden Trixie hits you with a red spell blast from her horn that smashes you through several buildings.
===================
Try to use the Boomstick against Trixie by slamming it into the ground to cause shockwaves to keep her at bay, but while you're focused on your Boomstick Trixie levitates the Water Tower behind you and repeatedly smashes you with it.
===================
Remember how in those stories you always watch, the hero saves the finishing move for last?
Yeah, but what does that-
Do the reverse of that.
"Got it!" you say as you whip out the Power Glove and declare,
"Would you kindly buzz off!" unleashing a small swarm of hornets and wasps. While Trixie deals with the insects, you slam two Nightmare Tails into the ground and shove the third one forward to push you back. When the tails are at maximum stretch, you slingshot yourself towards Trixie as you bring a hoof back, wrap it in one of your Nightmare Tails, and declare,
"FALCON MISSILE!"
But to everypony's shock, Trixie casts a spell in the shape of a giant wand swings it, smashing into your face and sending you flying off like a home run.
==================
The fight makes it's way to Sweet Apple Acres where Trixie uses her magic to pick you up and start smashing you through apple trees before sending you smashing through a wooden door. When you reorient yourself, you see that Trixie smashed you into your shed.
"Remember this!" Trixie declares as she teleports in firework rockets behind her and charges them with her magic.
"Wait, Trixie don't!" you say eyes widening as you notice the stuff you still have in your shed.
"Flights of angels sing thee to thy rest, mongrel!" Trixie declares as she throws her hooves forward, unleashing a barrage of charged magical fireworks at you that obliterate the shed in a cluster of explosions leaving behind a large fire.
Suddenly a blast of air comes from the fire and knocks Trixie back.
You walk out from the inferno that was your home at Sweet Apple Acres with the Second Law in hoof and say in a scarily calm-yet-pissed voice,
"Okay. I was... annoyed with you before," your eyes glow brighter with rage as you roar in the Royal Canterlot Voice, "BUT NOW I'M BUCKING PISSED!"
Nightmare energy flows into the Second Law as you pull the trigger making it fire a midnight-colored cyclone that sends Trixie spinning back to Ponyville.
===================
*NOTE: During a difficult part of the fight;
Okay, this is bad. Think bug think! What would Grandbuggy recommend?
FLASHBACK
"*&%#, you're on your own now."
And with that, Grandbuggy blasted off in a rocket he made in a cave with duct tape, WD-40, and a box of scraps to fulfill his bucket-list quest to find and ban the "Mare on the Moon". It was the last time you ever saw him.
NOW
"...THAT DIDN'T HELP AT ALL!"
===================
8004883
Trixie grabs you with her magic and uses you as a club to smack away Twilight, Zecora, and the Elements trying to interfere which gets you even more angry.
===================
In an attempt to make you feel more despair, Trixie intentionally knocks your Inventory away from you and tries to blast it, but Fluttershy rushes in at Rainbow Dash speeds and grabs it away from her.
Trixie tries to blast Fluttershy for calling you "Hoody" ("That's MY name for him!") but you take the hit for her and grab the Inventory back before telling Fluttershy to run as you whip out the Power Glove and declare,
"She can call me 'Hoody' cause unlike you, I like her so would you kindly burn!" causing a cluster of explosions to go off around Trixie that she manages to block with her forcefield spell.
===================
Trixie puts up a forcefield in front of her that you can't smash through with your attacks.
"Such despair trying to break through MY impenetrable forcefield pupupupu." Trixie taunts.
With a roar of rage you punch the ground in frustration when suddenly a crystal juts out of the ground below Trixie and hits the showmare in the gut, winding her and making her drop the forcefield.
"How did I-"
In the words of the youth these days; Suckle on my phat crystals! Sombra druggedly taunts.
Sweet me, that was horrible... Selena groans.
Thanks for the crystal-bending- you think as you rush in and Falcon Punch Trixie through a wall and into a two-story house before she can catch her breath, But if you ever try to use slang again I'll have Selena zap you.
While Trixie is disoriented, you rush in to the building and crouch low grabbing her horn with one of your tails to negate her magic before you hit her in the left side with a disorienting uppercut as you wrap one of your tails around your other arm and scream,
"SHADOW SHORYUKEN!"
Before sending your tail-covered hoof smashing into Trixie's midsection in a vicious rising uppercut (you feel several ribs cracking under your hoof) followed by midnight-colored afterimages that launches her through both stories of the building.
"Alright, time to bring back a classic!" you declare as you raise your nightmare tails in the air before smashing them to the ground with earth-shaking force, knocking down ponies still standing and launching yourself high into the air.
At the height of your ascent, you see Trixie flailing in the air trying to reorient herself. You start to cast a midnight forcefield around yourself as you launch yourself at the showmare, tackling her with your forcefield at high speeds as you both descend to the ground crying out,
"METEOR IMPACT!!!"
Before both of you smash into Town Hall in an explosive shockwave that blows out the ceiling, doors, and windows. When the dust clears, you find yourself in a crater in the floor standing over the battered showmare with a noticeable crack in the Alicorn Amulet.
======================
NOTE: Bugze's crystal-bending is normally VERY limited unless using the Nightmare Cloak where Sombra has more influence
As you are in the middle of beating Trixie senseless, you suddenly start to hear laughter. You look around in confusion...till you realize the laughter is coming from Trixie. You look at her in confusion as you ask,
"Uh...I know I'm supposed to be in my rage more and all that, but your making it kinda hard to focus with all your laughing."
Trixie doesn't stop, in fact her laughter only gets worse.
"PUPUPUPUPUPUP! Oh this wonderful feeling in me! Is this...true despair!? OH it feels so...so....so WONDERFUL! Oh Hoody, I thought you were actually mad at me, but now I see the truth! You just wanted me to feel this wonderful feeling. The feeling of pure and utter despair of a best friend fighting with you!"
Your cloak actually falters at just how deranged Trixie is sounding. In fact you actually took a step back you were so freaked out.
Dear Luna! Is this how I act when I go all 'raging over-protective daddy' on someling!?
No, usually you are too busy shouting out your attacks or insults. Truly she has clearly lost her mind.
You fools...look at the amulet on her neck!
Sombozo's comment draws your attention to Trixie's neck, where you can now see the cursed necklace is glowing now more then ever, and with it Trixie's insane ramblings.
"This feeling of despair...you inflict onto to me so I can learn! Learn how to spread it by knowing how wonderful it feels so I can make other ponies feel it too! Oh Hoody...you really shouldn't have PUPUPUPUPU!"
You can feel your own sanity slipping as you think,
Okay...I know you said that the amulet makes you loopy when you wear it, but I didn't know that meant she'd go coco over despair!
The amulet amplifies the emotion the user has when first put on. It creates a unhealthy obsession over it and drives the pony insane as they are constantly falling more and more into their emotions.
That's very...detailed. I thought you said you didn't find the amulet, so how do you know so much?
You tune out Trixie's ranting as you hear Sombra grumble out,
While I never found the amulet, I did however find the work and leftovers of those who did wear it. The sight...well let's just say even I found some of the scenes this amulet has caused disturbing.
This comment actually causes you to think for a sec, before you sigh and call out,
"Trixie..."
Said insane mare looks at you, and you continue,
"Looks like I have to change my plans. Looks like now I'm gonna have to take that amulet off ya. Don't get me worng, I'm still pissed off and wanna see ya on the ground in pain. You see if I'm going to beat the snot out of you for all the pain you caused, then I'm gonna do it when your in the right state of mind. At least that way, you will understand why I'm kicking your flank."
The cloak comes back full force as you shrug your shoulders and say,
"And if I need to beat you up a lot to do so, then I guess this is just a win win situation."
insert response and continue fight.
-----------------------------
Maybe a little out of character, but I figured it'll sound cool and have some development for the amulet. Can't blame a guy for trying.
Bugze utters one of the most emotional things ever said by The Incredible Hulk.
"Without You, None of This Would Have Happened!!! I'LL HATE YOU FOREVER!!!...Almost as much...as I hate myself..."
