Trixie and Twilight are best ponies! (Diamond Tiara is best filly :D )

This story is a sequel to Chasing Shadows


The notorious Kaitou Moon is all the rage in Canterlot these days, and Sunset Shimmer is determined to bring this thief to their knees! She's not the only one, though; the FBI are also on this thief's case, and it seems that the phantom thief may have also caught the attention of another, more mysterious foe.

Dammit, I got enough to read!

...

*Adds to list*

Brilliant read was worth the pain and suffering of using a 3ds to read. I am also assuming you are shipping Maud with Trixie?

6311172 Sorta, maybe, kinda...

Trixie's become a bit of a problem lately. In that I can't decide whether I ship her with Twilight, Rainbow Dash, or Maud... or all three at once...

Sometimes I like to make Maud and Trixie do the kissy-kiss, other times it's nice to simply have them be best buds :3 As far as this fic goes, I'm leaving it open for the reader to decide.

6311241 but don't you see the only real person that trixie could love is trixie

6313321 Even the Great and Powerful one can't reach her tongue THAT far.

6313722 then lucky for her there is a portal to an alternate universe just around the corner

6318104 Trixie may not be on Twilight 's level but she's not incompetent.

6364253 and despite all that, she's shown to be more than capable to go toe to toe with the rest. At least she doesn't need magic to win in a guitar duel.

Okay, this is interesting. Trixie as a magical thief in the night! Reminds me of Saint Tail.

Ah, Cadance... you fucking idiot.

And finished, and loved it. Trixie was quite the little sneak and badass, here. :D

Coming after Chasing Shadows, this feels a little bit weird. Sunset Shimmer became an FBI agent, or just some sort of contractor for them?

For some reason I thought Kaitou was named after Ace Kaitou before giving myself a slap and remembering the Kaito Kid

Sunset Shimmer's blackmailin' as usual, I guess? This time with DT and/or the teachers.

Also, I'm honestly a little surprised that, given Shiny or Cadance revealed in the last story that they know Sunset's human counterpart, that she didn't appear to track her down ever.

Huh, I wonder who's blackmailing Trixie. I can't really think of any canon character whose human counterpart would be smart and wicked enough to blackmail a completely balls-to-the-wall hax magician Trixie like that.

Although, I wonder what'll happen to her if she wears the Alicorn Amulet...:trixieshiftright:

No Blueblood? Huh, I wanted to see what he would do.

I wonder what somebody higher up in the Bureau knows about the Alicorn Amulet that Shiny doesn't. That maybe it would do to Trixie what Sombra's horn did to Agent Sombra or something?

Pfft, it's pretty hard to get an accurate shot on a moving target, especially when you're in a car that's being driven and you're aiming at boots of all thing.

...then again, Equestrian Shiny DID manage to throw his wife with pinpoint precision :derpytongue2:

Ah, so that's who was blackmailing Trixie. I guess the Dazzlings intend to use the Amulet as a replacement for their pendants, then.

Poor Gilda. Maybe if you had worked a little bit harder earlier you could've come on the Equestrian adventure and learned all about magic.

It's a good thing Aria never read the Evil Overlord List, considering the egregious offense she just committed against it.

13. All slain enemies will be cremated, or at least have several rounds of ammunition emptied into them, not left for dead at the bottom of the cliff. The announcement of their deaths, as well as any accompanying celebration, will be deferred until after the aforementioned disposal.

Well well well, looks like Trixie has got some 'Tricks Up Her Sleeve' for against the Dazzlings :trixieshiftleft:

Too late Dazzlings, Aria already failed to make sure Shining Armor was dead. Heck, I expect Sonata to be beaten down by Chrysalis who'll disguise herself as Sonata temporarily or something.

Hmm. I wonder if Chrysalis sneaked up on Sonata disguised as either Aria or Adagio?

Sombra, Big Damn Hero? Didn't think I'd be saying that.

Well, that was a little bit of a neat story, though Rainbow Rocks Trixie hardly struck me as being physically fit enough or a savant polymath to perform all the heists she did. Kind of odd you decided to post this all at once in one day. You plan on doing a third story post-Friendship Games now?

Sombra chuckled again, gathering Cadance and Chrysalis' attentions. "I know her. You should go."

"You know her?" Cadance asked.

"Yes. I must say, I'm quite a fan."

Guess this must be a reference to Equestria Trixie from Chasing Shadows

6311241 The Trixie story I have plotted out in my head ships her with an OC pegasus stallion to neatly sidestep all the fandom ships she's had. The key is that where Trixie presumably has wanderlust as a travelling magician, he has even more wanderlust, and a dash of desire for personal freedom too. 'Freedom Wings' is probably too on-the-head for a name :rainbowwild:

Well, that was a little bit of a neat story, though Rainbow Rocks Trixie hardly struck me as being physically fit enough or a savant polymath to perform all the heists she did.

Or maybe she only acted that way to throw people off their guards. A true magician never reveals all their cards at once, after all :raritywink:

Kind of odd you decided to post this all at once in one day. You plan on doing a third story post-Friendship Games now?

Naht really. I only did this one 'cause I wanted to do a Trixie phantom thief story, and the Dazzlings just worked well as the villains. I can't really think of any premise for Friendship Games to continue this series.

I posted it all in one day because I honestly wasn't sure whether or not I'd be able to complete this fic. I've been busy trying to land a secure job lately and haven't been feeling my best, which probably reflects in my writing quality as-of-late :S I wanted to ensure I had the whole thing written out before uploading, and decided to just throw it all up at once instead of in installments.

6311241 We could certainly use more Mauxie.

I usually get turned off a story right away when it seems like it's a mystery but then the reveal is made in early chapters (especially the first). But given how good the one before this in the series was, I'll give it a try.

So the solution is to have Cadence hold the bug and have Shiny throw her? :rainbowlaugh:

Taco delivery. Sonata's one weakness!

Great story. Love all the references. Though is the bid you adieu part a reference to something? I thought it was to Lupinranger vs Pataranger but this came out before that.

Adagio shrugged as the screen flashed again. “A collector, a crazed fan, a bounty hunter, a foreign government… Whoever bids the most.”

You know I actually like the dazzlings but I think in this au I would have to kill two of them.

Magicians and Phantom Thieves are sorta similar.
So it's fitting.
