//------------------------------// // Chapter 13 - Twilight Altercation(Short) // Story: The Lost One // by thedarktome //------------------------------// A lot of ponies would say waiting at the door for a pony with bad intentions would be suicide. Others would call it bravery. More would just say, "You're stupid." Luckily, Pencil was in HER mansion, HER turf. Waiting at the door for the mare, drinking non-alcoholic Blueberry wine. Nopony could see her, hear her, or find her presence through any type of magic. If you scanned the building, you'd find nothing. Except Buff maybe, if he was here. Sadly, he was at home with his parents, enjoying his day off or whatever. He deserved it. "Rainbow Dash," Pencil muttered, capturing the inner mare's attention. "Do not take what is about to happen to heart." Rainbow probably didn't know what she was talking about. But she was going to find out. A series of loud knocks made her sip the rest of her wine, place the glass down and walk towards the door, dark magic lining her hooves. "Who is it?" She asked calmly. "Twilight! Open up, Rainbow!" The painter groaned before unlocking the door and swinging it wide open, revealing the irked unicorn with the narrowed eyebrows. Definitely mad. "Ms. Sparkle, you have five seconds to get off my property," she said casually. "Don't 'Ms. Sparkle' me, Rainbow Dash!" Twilight yelled. "Who are you to tell me that my magic is not my best!" "I have never said that and I've never said anything of the sort to you." "Isn't that your beliefs, 'Pencil Sketch?'" "Twilight get off my property." "No!" Pencil groaned and closed the door in her face. "Open up, this isn't over!" "I know that, idiot," she muttered, heading back towards her library. She started banging on the door before a flash behind Pencil caught her attention and made her groan, stopping and turning around. "Why are you in my house? You know this is trespassing on a totally different level." "Because you need to take back those lies, Rainbow!" Twilight started scraping her hoof across the floor, like she was going to charge. "Twilight if you attack me in my house, I will literally teleport you all the way to the frozen north and leave you there with a bag over your head and tied up." "My magic is my calling and you're trying to make the foals in Equestria do dumb things to go against their calling! They were born to do that and if they go around looking for something else, somepony's going to get hurt—" "Yeah, you." "Quiet! Somepony's going to get hurt and it's going to be your fault!" She drifted her foot one more time. "Twilight....you're going to leave my property. Right now." "No I'm not." "Yeah, you are. Because if you don't, I'll have you squirming on the ground worse than Applejack." She lifted a hoof towards her, dark magic coming off of it like smoke. "Well you should know that dark magic doesn't affect light magic." "And you should know that my target isn't light magic. It's you. And you are no mage." Twilight screamed in anger before running towards Pencil Sketch, lighting her horn and firing a beam at her. The magic hit her but instead of sending her flying across the room, it just....went inside of her. Like she absorbed it. She stopped and gasped before Pencil fired a bolt of magic at her. She ducked right in time before it could hit her soaring straight over and spreading over the nearby wall. "Twilight, you really don't want to do this," Pencil persisted, standing there calmly. "I am a mage! And you can't tell me I'm not!" "Then why are you taking it so hard if I can't tell you you're not?" Twilight ran over and bucked, completely missing before Pencil teleported the both of them outside in the backyard, where she landed on the grass and Twilight landed in the pool. "Maybe you need to cool off." Twilight teleported next to her again and hit her in the face, forcing her head to the side. "You cannot tell ponies who they can or cannot be, Rainbow! That is so offensive!" She yelled, ignoring Pencil's protests. "And you do not rule over other ponies' lives, Twilight!" She fired a beam of magic hitting her and pushing her into the pool again, making her even colder than the magic. "You stupid mare! What part of leave my property don't you get!" Twilight teleported out of the pool again, shivering from the magic. "Y-Y-You have n-no say so in-in other ponies' lives." "And neither do you, so just go home or whatever!" She pointed towards the brick wall behind her, trying to push her point across. "Rainbow—" "LEAVE, TWILIGHT!" She fired another bolt of magic, hitting the crazy unicorn and making her scream out. She slid back across the lawn on her back, shivering. "YOU ARE NO MAGE! YOUR MAGIC IS NOTHING COMPARED TO ME! IF I HAVE TO HURT YOU WHERE PAIN DOESN'T EVEN DESCRIBE IT ANYMORE, I WILL!" She placed a hoof on Twilight's shivering body before they both disappeared in a cloud of black smoke, going somewhere else. *** "Twilight is dust!" Rarity exaggerated, pacing back and forth in the library area. The rest of the group was centered around her, trying to figure out what caused Twilight to go all nuts. "Why would she do something so reckless?! This is so not like her!" "Not ta' mention stupid!" Applejack yelled, stomping her right hoof. "We're trying ta' bring Rainbow back and if she attacks her, we'll only drive her away." "She's a party pooper!" Pinkie agreed. A black cloud of smoke appeared in the room, startling all of them before it dissipated revealing an intensely shaking Twilight and Pencil Sketch, who was clearly angry, having completely black eyes and a darker coat. Not to mention the black tendrils. "And if you ever come to my house again, you will never see your friends again!" She yelled down to her. "I mean what I said, when I was going to teleport you to the frozen north and leave you stranded! My offer is still there! DO NOT TEST ME!" She looked around the room, her eyes as dark as the color black. "That goes for all of you! Do not return to my house!" After that, she disappeared again in the cloud, leaving Twilight shivering on the floor. They all stared in shock at her before Spike sighed. "Well.....this is just perfect!" He yelled, throwing down his duster and walking over to Twilight. "Do you see what you just did?! We wanted to get her back, now she doesn't want to see any of us! AT ALL! All because you, with your stubborn mind to not leave ponies alone, decided to go over and confront her on her views! You're a freakin' extremist, Twilight! Your brother is so gonna tan your hide. Realllly bad."
