//------------------------------// // Chapter 22: Arguements // Story: Showy Chaos // by HeartfireFirebrand //------------------------------// I was very worried, Twilight was exactly happy after me and Trixie’s little song routine. Not to mention she totally forgot about her injuries. We were all sitting on our chairs staring at Twilight’s chair. Twilight scowled as she trotted in, I noticed her horn was smoking. I frowned, she must have done some very intensive healing spells. Twilight scowled “Why did you do that, music is one of the most powerful of magic and used it against me!” I shouted “I was trying to keep you safe!” Twilight shouted “I would have been fine!” I sighed “Do you know how dangerous Trixie is? Your lucky she was only using muscle, if she cast a spell she could have killed you by accident because she can’t control her power with some training and she knew that.” Twilight scowled ”I could take it.” Applejack said “Ah was watching you know, you couldn’t have. She was toying with you half of the time.” Twilight gasped “Not you too?” Applejack sighed “Listen, Twilight you’re my friend, so let me ask you this could you beat Discord in a fight.” Twilight said “No.” Applejack said “Well she was easily at his level.” Twilight sighed “Yes but what was I supposed to do?” I said “Yield gracefully, you should not have be forced to yield when you are losing.” Twilight gasped “What, I have a duty as a princess and that is too protect Equestria, I was doing that.” I watched as a shadow spoke “No you weren't, you were letting your ego drive you actions and made you believe you were important.” I watched as Sombra descended he continued “You let your own self-importance get in the way, arrogance is a poor thing in a leader. I lost to the Princesses because I believe I was superior when I had no idea of what I was suggesting. Twilight scowled “Are you all here to point out my flaws and insult me.” I saw Pinkie Pier’s mane flatten. Rainbow Dash shouted “Twilight this isn’t like you. Why are you so angry?” Twilight roared “Because I want us too be safe, we have been too close to losing way too many times. I want to pre-empt the next enemy and all of you wish to turn on me.” I watched as Twilight froze “You are unwilling to accept you mistakes Twilight and are blaming us, why?” I watched as Fluttershy trotted forward staring into Twilight’s eyes “Twilight you must stop, you are going too far now Twilight.” Twilight roared “NO!” We all gasped as she swung out knocking Fluttershy towards us. Twilight’s eyes widened as she realised what she had done “What have I done, I’m a monster.” I looked to see the Applejack and Rainbow glaring at her with Pinkie Pie hugging Fluttershy. I trotted forward and pulled Twilight into a hug. Twilight looked up with tears in her eyes “Why?” I smiled “We’re friends Twilight, we can harsh and sometimes a little blunt but deep down we care for you. Just let it all out.” I smiled warmly as Twilight cried into my coat. Applejack asked “Um, Rarity why did you take that from?” I sighed “It’s part of me Applejack, I can’t get rid of it. I am a creature of darkness now but I will only use my power to protect others.” Rainbow Dash smirked “And pranking ponies.” I smirked “Well both you and that pompous Prince could use some pranking.” Fluttershy groaned “What happened?” Twilight removed herself from my embrace and galloped towards Fluttershy, she begged “Please forgive me, I just lost control.” Fluttershy smiled as she remembered “I forgive you Twilight, it was an accident.” Pinkie shouted her mane returning to it’s normal poof as she dragged all 6 of us into a hug “GROUP HUG!” I heard a cough and smiled as I dragged a shadow into the hug “You thought you could avoid the hug? I think not.” I smiled as we had started to iron out some the issues, still things would get difficult from here.
