Twilight held both her hooves over her eye, whimpering as Trixie stood over her and screamed her head off, her star-sparkled cape flapping about in the light breeze "Who the hell do you think you are coming here!? What the hell do you want!? What, come to chase me out of THIS town too!? I ought to gut you right here and now you son of a bitch!"
The lavender mare looked up towards Trixie with her good eye, shouting back up at her "What the hell is wrong with you!? Do you punch everypony you see in the face upon greeting them!? I came to give you payment or something as a favor from Thoen, I didn't come to fight! That and I got a letter from the prin-"
Twilight didn't think it was possible...but it looked like Trixie was getting even angrier, her shouts more hateful then before and cutting her off "You WHAT!? How the hell do you know about that, who are you working for!? How do you know Thoen!? You must be working for them, the security force! You bastard, you couldn't just leave me alone after Ponyville, you had to come find me and finish the job huh!?" Twilight stuttered, trying to come up with words to prove Trixie wrong, dumbfounded at the sheer lunacy of how Trixie was seeing things. Before she could say anything however, Trixie snarled and lit her horn up with magic, shrieking "Screw it, I don't even want to HEAR THE EXCUSE! I don't need you ruining what little I have left!"
Twilight shrieked as a pinkish aura surrounded her, lifting her up and tossing her across the neighbor's yard to the left. She turned her head and gasped, watching as she came face to face with a carriage parked in the driveway next door, the window on its side displaying her frightened reflection. A thunderous crash was heard as Twilight flew through the window, the carriage swaying violently from the impact. Trixie spit on the ground towards the carriage and shouted "And stay out, ya purple shithead!" Just as she turned to head back inside, picking up the bag of bits and grimacing, a loud clattering came from the carriage. She stopped, turning her head towards the carriage as a bright red glow started to emit itself from inside. Trixie could feel the rising levels of magic, and quickly flared up her own horn, flicking the bag of bits into her house and shutting the door quickly.
She gasped as the door to the carriage was thrown open violently, the hinges snapping and causing it to tumble to the ground loudly. She blinked as Twilight stood in the doorway, her coat a dazzling yellowish white, and her mane looking and whipping about like chaotic fire.
She looked at Trixie, breathing in heavily and screaming as loud as she could, her voice partially cracking "MY COAT, IS, LAVENDER!!!!!!" She pointed her horn down, her magic flaring around her horn and around the broken door. Trixie gasped as the door was lifted up and thrown towards her like a disc, the mare just barely ducking under the lethal projectile.
Trixie looked up, her horn alight with pink magic as she growled "Oh...you want to play it rough huh!? Alright then Twifuck Shitkle, let's play!"
Twilight's fiery appearance had dissipated as she jumped from the carriage, her magic forming a bubbling shield around herself as Trixie ripped her mailbox from out of the ground and chucked it at her. As it smashed against Twilight's bubble, it quickly dissolved into dust and gleamed with purple magic, turning itself into a swarm of bees and flying back towards Trixie. The azure unicorn narrowed her eyes, her horn flashing and bringing forth out of thin air a can of insecticide. She held it in front of her and sprayed it, killing the bees instantly with the magical poison and drawing a frustrated growl out of Twilight. Before she could conjure up another spell however, Trixie whipped her head to the left in a slashing manner, setting the air in front of her on fire and jumping behind it. Holding the can up, she sprayed through the fire and screamed a furious battle cry, the poison quickly turning into a make-shift flamethrower and launching a hellish stream of fire towards Twilight..
Twilight gasped as her bubble started to melt from the magical fire, the risk of get turned into a burnt marshmellow growing more evident in her mind. She flicked her eyes up quickly and produced a large red can out of thin air, dropping it in the middle of the fiery stream. At this, Trixie could only stare in horror as the can was engulfed in the flame, her screams echoing out across the neighborhood "GASOLINE!? ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MI-"
"KABOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!'
Trixie had jumped away, turning her back towards the explosion which had rocked and shattered the very ground. She did not escape injury however, a few cuts and scrapes adorning her body from the chunks of rock that had flown by. As the smoke cleared, she spotted Twilight rushing towards her with her head bowed, her eyes glowing with purple magic. Her horn flared, producing a large, purple colored rapier out of thin air.
Twilight screamed and jumped towards her as Trixie produced her own blade "En GARDE', Bitch!" They crossed blades with a loud clanging of metal, the two of them beginning a furious fencing match and jumping back and forth, trying to get the upper hoof on the other. Trixie laughed with glee as she quickly parried Twilight's blade and gave her a nick on her shoulder, the wound bleeding slightly. Her laughter was cut short however as she received a long scratch on her side, drawing out a sharp hiss of pain and another furious shout of anger.
Trixie rushed forward, giving a quick twirl of her body and smashing her blade into Twilight's. The force of the impact threw the unicorn backwards, her blade dissipating as she touched down on the ground. Trixie's own eyes gleamed as Twilight lowered her horn, the glow around it pulsating rapidly. As Twilight readied her attack, Trixie's horn flashed and turned her own sword into an assortment of six blades, her magic hurling them towards her foe. Twilight let out a heavy bellow as her horn flashed brightly and shot out a purple laser towards Trixie, the sudden rush of wind it brought sending a few of the knives off course and causing them to just barely nick her skin. Trixie turned her body to the right slightly, avoiding the deadly laser as she tried to bring her knives back around and attack the exposed unicorn.
As they readied themselves for another assault however, a bellowing voice roared out "ENOUGH!!!!". The two unicorn's immediately released their magic, heads snapping to the left as Thoendithas galloped quickly towards the scuffle. He approached Trixie, who had a look of upmost horror on her face and said "Trixie Arcanieum, SHAME on you! Attacking the mare who brought you the bits for your medication! Is that how you treat everypony who helps you!? I knew that I should have gone with my gut and escorted Twilight here, and I'm glad that I chose to come anyway! By Celestia's Sun I could see the explosion from all the way down the frigging ROAD!"
Trixie stuttered as Twilight blinked in amazement, surprised at how quickly the azure mare had fallen under the colt's loud voice "B...but she's the one who...who..."
Thoen sighed in aggravation and rolled his eyes, growling "I know who she is Trixie, she's Twilight Sparkle, the one who supposedly ran you out of town. The way I heard it though, was that you chose to run away rather then pony up and face the consequences of your actions!"
Trixie frowned and screamed "That's not fair! You weren't there, you don't know what it was like to get humiliated and ridiculed in front of everypony in town!!!"
Twilight could only wince as Thoen pushed his forehead against Trixie's and shouted "You think I don't know what it feels like!? Imagine having a Royal Guard waltz into my office to tell me my own daughter went about bragging her head off which led to the glorious inviting of an Ursa Minor to Ponyville!!! How do you think my colleagues saw me after that little episode!?"
Trixie bowed her head as she mulled over what Thoen had said, Twilight's voice barely audible over the breeze "Thoen...he's your father?"
Thoen nodded and replied in Trixie's stead, the azure mare falling quiet as she grimaced towards the ground "I'm sorry Miss Sparkle...I suppose I should have been more open about that. I knew from the moment I saw you on the train exactly who you were. I don't blame you for that day with the Ursa...if anything I thank you for it. My daughter learned a valuable lesson from that...or so I thought." He ended his statement with a slight glare towards Trixie, who could only mumble curses towards the ground.
Twilight sighed and winced from the wound on her shoulder, muttering "That's...ok I guess. Would have been better to warn me about Trixie though..."
Thoen scoffed and looked down towards the grumbling mare, a stern tone in his voice "Well I thought that my daughter would have had better manners...I didn't expect her to cause a full out magical brawl in the streets. Which, mind you, probably caused some unwanted attention! You know how the guards can be Trixie, what were you thinking!?"
Trixie rolled her eyes, simply turning away and limping back towards her house, the bag of bits scattered about the front hallway. Thoen sighed and looked towards Twilight, a small smile on his face as he whispered "Come on...let's get you two patched up...maybe we can try again with some calm, civilized discussion, Trixie!" He added the last bit with a raised voice, getting no response from her except the shaking of her head.
~~~
"Ouch!"
"Oh, did that hurt? I'm sorry, maybe if you hadn't acted like a two year old and beat up the mare trying to help you, you wouldn't be in this mess, now would you!?" Thoen retorted to Trixie's outburst of pain. A tight bandage had been wrapped around the unicorn's side, a grimace on her face as she watched Twilight, fully bandaged, take a sip out of her tea.
"Why the hell is she even here...what business could she have with us that isn't driving our name into the dirt..." she growled, ignoring the furious look that she drew from Thoen who replied
"You watch your mouth...if you want to blame somepony, blame yourself for the way things are. Now that you mention it though..." He looked over towards Twilight and muttered "Why DID you come out to Manehatten anyway?"
Twilight blushed a little out of embarrassment and rubbed the back of her head with her hoof as she explained "It's...a bit ironic actually. Princess Luna had told me about a pony-in-need out here in Manehatten...I didn't find out exactly who it was until I had knocked on her door...a lot of good that did." She shot a look towards Trixie who widened her eyes as the explanation.
Thoen raised an eyebrow in surprise and whispered "You came here on Princess Luna's behalf...for Trixie?"
Twilight nodded as Trixie let out a scoff of protest, her voice dripping with hate "I don't need your sympathy, pity, or your help! I've been surviving well enough on my own!"
Thoen sighed and gave Trixie a slight bop on the head as he whispered "Yes, but nopony should have to survive, they should be living, smiling, laughing! Look at where you live Trixie, can't you just swallow your pride for once?"
Twilight looked at Trixie with apprehension. Sure, she wanted to do her duty to help out, she wanted to be able to complete the task Luna had set for her...but Trixie? How could she stand for this? How was she supposed to help Trixie of all ponies!? How did Luna except them to be friends?! She sighed and muttered "Yes...I came here for Trixie. Princess Luna wants me to be her friend...teach her about friendship."
At this, Trixie laughed and raised an eyebrow, shouting in her usual egotistical fashion "Really? You and me...friends? Ha, don't make me laugh...no...don't make me puke! Why would I ever want to become friends with you?!"
Twilight sighed as Thoen glared at his daughter, her voice soft but strained "I never wanted to fight Trixie, I was angry, ok? I never meant for things to end in Ponyville like they did when you were there. So you got a little ego-crazy...have you met Rainbow Dash? We don't run her out of town...we accept her for who she is. If you'd just clean up your act and learn to be more accepting...you could-"
She was cut off by Trixie's scoff, the azure mare hopping off the stool she had been sitting on and trotting away, her nose up in the air. She shouted from the other room "I don't need to sit there and be subjugated to such horseshit, so enjoy your stay while it lasts Sparkle!"
Thoen sighed and shook his head, watching his daughter leave. He turned back towards Twilight and muttered "I'm sorry about her...she's just been having a real rough time."
Twilight looked down towards her bandaged shoulder and sighed "Yeah...I noticed."
Thoen walked up to her and whispered, a worried look in his eyes "Do you think you'll be able to help her?"
Twilight shook her head and whispered back "I don't know...things didn't really get off to a good start...and I blame myself for overreacting and retaliating against her. I'll try my best but...I don't know."
Thoen nodded and put a hoof on her good shoulder, making her look up as he said "Well...do your best regardless, that's all I or Luna could ever ask for. As long as you try, that's what matters. Me personally...I hope she'll come to her senses soon...she's been out here for too long, and I'm always too busy working to really come down here and spend time with her."
Twilight nodded and smiled "I have hope...who knows, maybe this won't be so-"
"If you're planning on staying overnight, don't you DARE use my bathroom! If you gotta go, pop a squat outside in the bushes because this bathroom is racist against purple ponies!"
Twilight narrowed her eyes and grimaced as she finished her sentence ".....bad."

115712 I understand, you make a good point. I was just curious. These are all very good, you make my day when I get the little E-Mail saying this story has been updated. I hate to feel like I'm rushing yo, but I SO want to know how this plays out, the suspense is killing my xD Keep up the AWESOME work.
That battle was just...
memedepot.com/uploads/1500/1782_1273549918295.png
Funny, today Mane 6 played the latest build for Fighting is Magic at BronyCon. Then you release a fighting chapter.
Is this gonna turn out to be a Twilight x Trixie thing?
ENGAURD BITCH!
What's the one thing in the world that makes anything better?
EXPLOSIONS!!!!!
And you sir got it down PAT.
"MY COAT, IS, LAVENDER!!!!!!"
I'm unsure whether to say either "My name's! not! RIIICK!" or "It's not pink, it's lightish red." in response to that line.
Meh, both is fine.
"If you gotta go, pop a squat outside in the bushes because this bathroom is racist against purple ponies!"
FAVORITE QUOTE EVER!!!! I have to get a sign saying that for my bathroom. Love you Trixie!
HA! Father! Called it!
I guess it was to be expected a bit though. Thoen kinda tipped me off. BUT, that's not a bad thing. It led to some good natured theories and speculation.
Let me guess. You chose that image for your story because of this part. Pretty awesome, really. Actually, I'm surprised at how well Trixie held up. Facing down a fully enraged Twilight Sparkle, and holding her own, was impressive. Given what we've seen from Trixie's episode, I really expected her to get her flank whooped.
Twilight's got a upwards battle here and not in the magical sense. Though, with how volatile the situation is, I wouldn't be surprised to see more sparks fly between these two.
Anyway, it was violent but I was ready for it. Good use of that Trixie image in the middle! Got a good laugh out of me!
Looking forward to more!
Awesome. A magic sword fight? win...
However, my headcanon pictures twilight as by far and away the most powerful unicorn. So Trixie would never stand a chance, Stories like Spark, and Family Mares have Twi pictured as more powerful than Celestia herself. That really feels right to me, as she is the true incarnation (of Avatar, if you will) of Magic. Just my 2 cents, yours may differ. Not sure why I feel obligated to post my opinion on the matter, Being slightly inebriated might have a hand in it, though.
The I'M LAVENDER BIOTCH thing killed me xD
Now let the drama begin! I just can't wait until Trixie has another one of her voice hearing episodes -evil laugh-
115867 That face is what nightmares are made of
115928 Damn I replied to the wrong comment
115924 I feel obligated at this juncture to point out that despite any evidence to the contrary, *caughGASOLINEcaugh* Twilight was not actually trying to kill Trixie, merely incapacitate her. If she had been out to just kill her, Trix'd have been dead in no time flat.
Bawhahahahahahaha!!!!!! Man, who would have thought Trixie could hold THAT much of a grudge. Oh well. If Twilight wanted to, Trixie would have been dead, no questions asked.
Now I can see why Wolokai was in such a rush to get to this segment. This to me is looking to be by far the biggest leap of faith any pony is going to have to take.
115947
propably at the beginning but I'd say she lost her focus on that initial objective over the fight.
Bees- safe and distracting
Gasoline- okay, maybe to drive her off her position, yet risky
Rapiers- potentially deadly, but theoretically controllable
(given training. But I'm not sure where the magical things range on a scale of vegetable knife to vaporize-on-contact)
But when we come to the laser I guess we can finally safely assume that Twi got hopelessly carried away and was propably going for the kill
(or at least incapacitate by all possible means. I'd agree to that too..)
And for the sake of completion my mind of piece to the presumed power-balance-
Something my pen-&-paper days taught me (yay I'm a ned, suprise):
Being a powerfull (rather peacefull) balanced caster does not nessecarily make you an adequate 'Nuker' (offensive asset).
Aaaaand I have an idea what direction Trixie's developent and training might have been going since Ponyville (guided by her state of mind).
But again- All that we're discussing here will propably be cleared up and/or rendered irrelevant alltogether by the next chapter, right?
(Which I, as we all, are thirsting to read. Yay! )
Nevertheless I sometimes enjoy a purely theoretical disussion just for the sake of it. Can you tell?
No trolling intended though, I just like thinking about things.
L'n'T all!
Where's the ?
116106
Make-up-Sex always after the fight.
(and I guess they're not quite done with that..)
What bugs me is the lack of concurrent spells, honestly. Pick up an object, hurl it with magic, but don't keep holding it, release it once it has been thrown and use it as a distraction to charge up another spell. *sigh* It's something I've seen in multiple battles from multiple authors.. waiting for the spell to finish completely before casting the next one. This isn't a turn-based RPG, this is real-time strategy. *chuckles*
Good.
I will patiently wait for more
Okay patience is up, update already
WOO! You never fail to leave me wanting more :D
The battle was epic! Nothing beats ponies and explosions. I liked when Twilight came out of the carriage in her RAGE!! mode, they need to use that more in the show XD. My favorite part had to be from when Trixie fired her makeshift flamethrower at Twilight and on wards since that was when the explosions and sword fight happened :D.
Hmm, I had a feeling, but I was a bit surprised to find out that Thoen was Trixie's father. In the last chapter you can tell that he's known Trixie long enough to be considered an old friend, but he never gave off the fatherly vibe like he did in this chapter. As I said in this chapter you can clearly tell that he is her father, everything about him in this chapter showed that to me. You can feel the concern he has for his daughter and how much he wishes that she would...come to her senses? I don't think those are the right words but, regardless of how tough he came off as you know that he loves his daughter very much and how he's placing a lot of hope in Twilight to help Trixie.
Heh, the ending was funny :3. The last line made laugh out loud XD, such sass Trixie. I can tell this is going to be good, real good :D.
Can't wait till the next chapter.
Have a good one :D.
so much for not being able to fight in a conflict *cough*
anyways, I enjoyed the fight, although it could've been longer... anyways, way to gooo
Excellent. :D
Guys, yes, our headcanon and pretty much actual canon states Twilight is the most powerful unicorn alive, as Celestia herself said so. I'd trust the pony god.
But this is his story. I mean look, he's got other unicorns who can teleport, despite the fact it's something only Twilight and the Princesses can do canon. So just sit back and enjoy the BITCHFIGHT.
I was listening to the music from Star Wars Episode III, (the part from Anakin and Obi-Wan's fight on the volcanic planet) during the fight. Made it so epic, and I couldn't help but picture the swords as lightsabers.
I have a question about your upcoming Leaps of Faith.
Leap of Faith: Muffin Vs. Baked Bads
Leap of Faith: Generosity Vs. Laughter
Who is Baked Bads? I coulda sworn Pinkie Pie was the one that delivered the line "Not baked goods.. baked bads." in the episode (though we do only get a brief glimpse, so I may very well be mistaken.) Of course, I can see you don't mean for it to be Pinkie, because you have her paired with Rarity.. not something I would normally see, nor is it... well.. let's just say you're gonna have a tough time selling me on Rarity + Pinkie Pie. Anywho, I was just curious about this.
119543
Well the next two aren't really so romance as the others have been. Rarity and Pinkie are more then likely going to be Friendship-Shipping, and as for Ditzy Doo...I can't spoil that!
119699 *sigh* fine, I'll just remain confuzzled for a while longer then. As for Rarity and Pinkie Pie.. I could believe friendship shipping a lot more than romance. I honestly have no idea who I would ship ship Pinkie Pie with. There are very few who could keep up with her.. antics. I suspect it'd be easiest to do with an original pony rather than a cast pony.. Pinkieshy maybe, but I do like Fluttershy with Big Mac as you've done, or Rainbow Dash (cause of their history together) better.
EDIT: Also, real fast before I forget.. Thank you for going with Ditzy Doo rather than Derpy Hooves. >.< I know Derpy may be official now, but that name annoys the hell out of me. lol.
This chapter made me feel like trixie is black...
Arcanieum? Chaos thought her last name was Lulamoon.
Aw, fuck it. It FIMfiction. Does Chaos really expect ANYTHING to be canon? Good story = Good Story
CONTINUE!!!
Well.......that could have gone better.....in many ways......across several dimentions with various scenarios............crap
While I do enjoy magic combat... I think using solely summoned items kinda removes the "Magic" part.
I prefer intricate spells, beams, orbs and the likes... But that's just me...
1644105 and me!
Two things one a shield spell will not fall as long as you keep pumping magic into it and second what the hell Twilight was an explosion really a wise idea.
