Twilight hit the ground hard and let out a cough as dust around her began to settle. She opened her eyes and began to look around, but could not see anything due to the ground above them having caved in. To her surprise they were not completely buried, but she attributed that to Sigma not actually wanting to kill them.
"Is everypony alright?" Twilight asked.
"Yes." Rarity and Fluttershy said together.
"Me too!" Pinkie coughed. "Whoever lived here needs to hire a maid."
"I think I'm alright, something broke my fall."
"Where the hell is Tucker so I can kick his ass?" Tex asked.
"Ow, who stepped on my tail?" Rarity asked.
"Sorry Rarity, I think that might have been me." Pinkie giggled. "Wow it sure is dark in here! I can't even see my hooves in front of my face. Hey who bumped into me?"
"Sorry Pinkie, I-I didn't mean to." Fluttershy stuttered, beginning to grow fearful of the darkness. "Twilight can you p-please make it lighter in here?"
"Give me a second." Twilight said as she began to concentrate.
"Is something wrong?" Fluttershy asked.
"Something is interfering with my magic. Rarity can you do anything?"
"Give me a moment, I think I chipped my hoof." Rarity moaned quietly.
"Anything?" Twilight asked after a few seconds.
"I cannot use my magic either."
"Hang on, I got this." Spike grunted as he felt around the area. He picked up a root and blew fire onto it, creating a green-flamed torch.
"Good job Spike." Rarity said with a smile.
"I guess I'll have to thank Delta for telling me to take you." Twilight nodded. "Where's Tucker?"
"Getting sat on." Tucker muffled.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to do that." Rainbow Dash said quickly, hopping to her hooves.
"Sure you didn't." Tucker said with a sly wink. "Don't worry, I'm sure that won't be the only time that'll happen to us."
"You can't tell me that he doesn't get on your nerves all the time." Tex grunted.
"Yeah he does, but he's fun to have around." Rainbow Dash said with a rough laugh. "And when he does make me angry I just hit him."
"You know, maybe you aren't that bad." Tex said with a cruel laugh.
"Holy shit, did Tex just compliment someone?" Tucker asked with genuine surprise.
"Hey jackass, why didn't you try flying away when you started to fall?"
"Fuck you, that's why."
"Hey I told you not to move." Tex grunted as she hit Tucker on the back of his head. "Sigma couldn't have dug this up this fast, could he?"
"No, this tunnel seems natural." Twilight said as she inspected the walls. "Even so, we should be careful. Since he made it so we fell in here there are probably even more traps down here."
"I do not think that I like this Sigma pony." Rarity said as she wiped the dust off of her mane. "He ruined my hooficure and made an absolute mess out of my mane."
"So, uh, what do we do now?" Tucker asked.
"Well since we can't fly or use magic I guess we'll just have to walk. Spike do you think you could make us a few more torches?" Twilight asked.
"Sure!" Spike said enthusiastically as he ran around, tearing out loose roots in the ground. "Who wants one?"
"I'll take one." Tex said.
Spike quickly set the tip of the root aflame and gave it to Tex, who gave a small nod to him.
"Ooh ooh, can you make mine pink?" Pinkie asked.
Spike turned to Twilight who was making large hoof gestures for him to tell her off.
"Sorry Pinkie, my fire isn't pink. Guess that means you don't get one."
"Aw." Pinkie pouted, before smiling and hopping next to Tex. "That's okay, I'll just share with Alli- I mean Tex!"
"Nu-uh." Tex said, pulling her hoof away from Pinkie. "That's not going to fly."
"Of course it isn't silly, it doesn't have any wings!"
"You remind me a lot of Caboose..." Tex muttered.
"Really?" Pinkie gasped. "Ohmygoodness, we haven't thrown you a party yet!"
Tex shook her head in disbelief. Could she really be as stupid as him?
"Which way are we going to go?" Tucker asked as he grabbed a torch from Spike. "How about this way?"
Tucker stepped on a large rock and it quickly sank into the ground. Rainbow Dash grabbed Tucker by the tail and pulled him back just as a spike shot out of a hole in the wall right next to where Tucker was standing.
"Watch where you're going, idiot." Tex grunted.
"Okay, seriously, what the fuck? I can't be the only one wondering how the fuck he set all this up?"
"This wasn't set up by Sigma." Twilight said nervously.
"How do you know that?"
"Look at the wooden spike. It's covered in dust and cobwebs. Whoever set this up set it up a while ago." Twilight said as she observed the spike. Something about it caught her eye and she tore it out of the wall to examine it further.
"Stop wasting time, we need to get out of here." Tex said as she began to walk further down that path.
"Wait." Twilight muttered. She turned to Fluttershy and pointed the spike at her, causing her to go on her knees and cover her eyes. "Fluttershy, look."
"What?" Fluttershy peeped as she shakily lifted her hoof to look at it. There was a small shine to the tip and it looked mucus green. She hesitantly took the spike out of Twilight's hoof. "What is it?"
"Think back about a month or so ago."
"A month?"
"With Grif."
"O-okay." Fluttershy said, staring curiously at it. her eyes widened after a few seconds and gasped.
"What is it?" Tucker asked.
"The traps appear to be coated with the secretion that the timberwolves have on their teeth."
"Secretion?" Tex asked.
"It's a bacteria that the timberwolves have on their teeth that give them a poisonous bite that eventually turns you into a tree."
"Why the hell didn't mention this when I went to fight them?" Tex asked angrily.
"You told me not to help you and to stay out of your way, so that's what I did. I thought that's what you wanted Allison." Twilight said, putting an emphasis on her name with a smirk.
"Hey guess what, you don't have your magic down here to help you, so if you want to stay alive I suggest you stop being a bitch. It's not like you would do anything with your weak ass horn anyways considering you're a coward."
"Excuse me?" Twilight snapped. "The only reason I haven't done anything about your attitude is because Church loves you and I don't want to see him get hurt more than he already has. You're the one who is a coward."
"Me, a coward?" Tex scoffed.
"Yes, you're a coward. Church deserves so much better than you."
"I knew that's what this is about." Tex laughed, taking a step towards Twilight. "You're jealous of me."
"What?" Twilight yelled.
"Yeah, I can tell by that tone. You like Church and I bet it just burns you up that he loves me, doesn't it? Well guess what, he doesn't love you and he never will, so why don't you be a good little girl and step down. You're useless here and we need someone to lead us that isn't completely defenseless."
Twilight brought back her hoof and punched Tex in the face. Tex crashed to the ground and glared at Twilight, who was wearing a smirk on her muzzle.
"I may not have my magic, but don't think that makes me defenseless." Twilight said defensively. "And the only feeling I have towards you is not that of jealousy, but that of pity. I pity you Allison."
"Ooh, I like this new you." Tex chuckled as she got to her hooves and cracked her neck. "Now it's my turn."
AWWWW MAN! The shit's on now!

I only watched that show for the fights. Couldn't stand the judges, couldn't stand how cocky the "professionals" were. The fights were sub-par, but I'm a sucker for violence.

Run!
CATFIGHT!!!
Oh man, this is gonna be fun! I hope the next chapter is plenty long, and filled with action, because this fight is gonna kick so much ass!
Derp derp deeeeeeeerp!
NOPONY CALLS PINKIE STUPID!!!!!
also
MARE FIGHT!!!!!
Twilight what the hell have you just done?!
Something tells me they're gonna eventually cease in the next chapter
But if they don't, I'm sorry to say that Twilight bit off more than she can chew
the shit just got real
It was nice knowing you Twilight.
Prepare yourself.... A battle of Chuck Norris proportions is coming....
Well, there goes my ship. *Opens window and chucks out ChurchXTwilight.*

Uhg, couldn't agree more. I stopped watching after one of the professionals started going on and on about how the IRA were just "Freedom Fighters"
Also. Twilight has a horn, advantage - Twilight. When you have a natural spike on your head and your opponent doesn't, that's just asking to get stabbity stabbed.
that was a stupid stupid move on Twilight's part
I am on team Twilight. Fuck Tex. [And not in the good way.]

740517 I would but I dont see anyting! So no deal!
Why do you say this will be good? Twilight has no physical attack skill, she invests all her stats in intelligence and magic, without that ability Tex will wipe the floor with her!
So am I the only one that has had the idea that the AI fragments, or at least some of them, are going to merge with some of the mane six. Ya sounds weird and I won't deny that I may be way off base but, and this reasoning may be completely flawed, the way it stands right now all of the AI fragments are just fractured pieces of a greater whole. Each one is trapped in their defining characteristic, Tex will always fail, Gary will always lie, Delta is denied emotions due to his logic overriding all other traits, and so on and so forth. They can't live a life of their own, not when they can't even make their own decisions on how to act. On the flip side all of the mane six are fully flushed out with their own hopes, dreams, personality, memories, BUT they exist inside of the Epsilon unit, or at least they exist on the other side of the gate that the Epsilon unit represents, so they can't leave with the RvB crew. Worst case scenario is that the Epsilon unit is still shutting down and the mane six are just constructs of it and will die with it. The wonderful thing about merging with the AI's is that the AI fragments can leave the Epsilon unit so any of the mane six that have one of the AI's as part of them will be able to leave as well.
Six AI fragments + mane six = ???
That and I think that Twilight merged with Tex would be too bad-ass for words, and church could love her then. See perfect.
740652
Exactly. She has intelligence in a tunnel full of traps. Potent traps at that.
740657
That's the road I was originally going to go down but I figured with that it was two things:
1. The AIs influence the mane 6's characteristics, thus making them lose the characteristics that we love about them.
Or
2. The AIs don't influence the mane 6, thus ruining the point of this entire arc since that would be anti climactic.
About time Tex got put in her place. Although I am slightly worried for Twilight.
Also, does Tex have her apparent super-strength like in "This One Goes to Eleven?" If so, then this will not end well.
Either way, poo is about to hit the paddles.

...If it's a mare with only the slightest of anthropomorphic features and what is essentially a highly advanced computer program getting into a fight, can you still call it a catfight...?
740542 its chysalis saying "oh wait, you`re serious, let me laugh even harder. and a gif of celestia with infinite sunglasses saying deal with it.
740794 Yes. I will repeat wat I said. Fuck Tex. Go team Twilight!
740785 In the words of Tucker *AHEM* "She has boobs so fuck it. Literally!" encrypted-tbn2.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTEIr2ZI2toz7FceYMNUdl06yWy2vh6zHe2ODXhiq6-nZwjALnE

740831
But that's the problem! Twilight has udders, not boobs, and Tex isn't even real! Now if you'd used another sexual characteristic...
740861 Hmmmmmm........other sexual characteristic........AHA! They can both be really bitchy! The only time I have heard a guy be bitchy is either he is gay or he is bored...........fighting isn't boring so.....They are either gay males or it's a cat fight........there is no proof that twilight is a gay male. Tex COULD be. I mean, she's touching Griffs' balls all the time. Yet that would make the directer/Church gay as well. So in the fact that church has never hit on one of the guys and didn't succumb to Doughnuts will......EVER! It's a cat fight. encrypted-tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTH968ZXQ41gzPtceZIS8huiLPmreqKS3KI57NsqRwDUy_LhJCI

Well viewers it seems shit has hit the fan we just jumped the shark that then nuked the fridge and during the process fried the coke (coca cola coke not the drug)
