Somewhere In Equestria...
A small shop opened up in the middle of nowhere, somewhere as a mysterious cloaked pony was walking into the small shop, and upon entering, the shopkeeper heard the bell attached to the door ringing, turning around to face the cloaked pony.
"Oh? A fellow customer, eh? Are you interested?" The shopkeeper asked. "Hmm, something drew you to my shop... something powerful."
The cloaked pony turned over to see a mysterious red amulet, sitting still on display.
Ah, you have a keen eye. The Alicorn Amulet is one of the most mysterious and powerful of all the known magical charms." The cloaked pony smirked before reaching out for it till the shopkeeper got in her way. "Uh, ah— I'm afraid this is... far too dangerous."
The cloaked pony seemed to have prepared for this before dropping down a large amount of coins onto the table. The shopkeeper felt flabbergasted at the large amount of coins on the table.
"This is just...! Are you-" At that moment, he let out a small gasp before feeling something in his chest. Neither did he nor the mysterious pony saw a dark aura swarmed around the center of shopkeeper's body, seemingly shocking the shopkeeper as he felt the dark aura surround him before looking at the cloaked pony, smiling innocently.
"Would you like that gift-wrapped?"
The cloaked pony rolled her eyes before walking over and taking the Alicorn Amulet, leaving the shopkeeper to his own. At that moment, the dark aura came out of him, disappearing out of his body. The shopkeeper then fell on the ground, passing out in the process.
Back outside of the shop, the cloaked pony looked at the Alicorn Amulet in their hooves before they began to cackle.
"Hehe...Now this will be interesting!" The cloaked pony laughed. "With this, I'll bestow my revenge on that Twilight Sparkle and that despicable human freak, Ren Loodan! Now nopony can stop me..."
The cloaked pony removed her hoodie, revealing herself as an old rival of Twilight and Ren's...
"Me! Trixie!" Trixie laughed maniacally, her laugh echoing across the area.
"Is that so...?"
Trixie stops herself before slowly glancing back to see a masked figure appearing from the shadows. "Are you perhaps thirst for vengeance?"
"Who are you?" Trixie widened her eyes in shock before quickly placing the Alicorn Amulet around her neck as her horn begins glowing, firing a powerful magic beam at Void but he extends out his hand and starts absorbing the attack. "W-What the?! How did you...?!"
"Do you really think such a measly little amulet can harm me?" Void scoffed.
"But...this Alicorn Amulet is said to give magic users greater strength in magic powers!" Trixie exclaimed, looking at the artifact in frustration. "Was I ripped off?!"
"No, it's the real deal. It is true...The Alicorn Amulet does give unicorn users like yourself ultimate power, but however, it cannot affect those with dark magic." Void crossed his arms. "To be more specific, it's creator..."
"C-Creator?!" Trixie shouted. "That's not-"
"Not what? What? Did anypony in this world not tell you anything?" Void grunted. "Did you read anything about those facts about Alicorn Amulet? Well if so, then those who written it don't know anything..."
"W-Why you...!" She fired another beam, however Void walked towards her, not being affected by all her spells.
"The Alicorn Amulet is after all, my creation from a peculiar little meteorite that I come from...it's a little trick for those to use magic in a little...boost, but unaware that it's controlling them..." Void explained, meeting face-to-face with the terrified magician mare. "...By using their own darkness and every negative feelings to control the user...and you now happened to be another victim of the Alicorn Amulet."
"W-What?" Trixie asked fearfully before she began to feel darkness swarming around her. "W-What are you doing to me...?"
"I am simply helping you...I respect your thirst for vengeance." Void silently chuckled. "But you know? You shouldn't just humiliate and defeat the ones who ruined your life, but you should also...destroy them."
Trixie widened her eyes, feeling more and more darkness consuming as the Alicorn Amulet glowed bright red, slowly controlling its user.
"Destroy...them..." Trixie mumbled, closing her eyes. "I must...destroy...Twilight Sparkle...and...Ren Loodan..."
"Yes...destroy your enemies...it'll satisfy your own desires and regain what you lost..." Void started laughing, enjoying seeing Trixie embracing the darkness as she reopened her eyes, showing full red they are.
Unbeknownst to them, a figure was watching from the shadows, having seen the whole thing from afar before gasping upon seeing Trixie now being controlled by the Alicorn Amulet and thanks to Void, became a pawn to the darkness.
"This can't be good..."
The Next Day
Ren's POV
"Don't be scared, little friends. Twilight is wonderful with magic and Ren is a really nice person."
Yeah, don't worry little guys. I mean, you'll trust us. Hm? Oh hey there, didn't see noticed you all there.
Sorry if I wasn't paying attention. I was just at Flutters' cottage helping tend with the animals with help from my pet dog, Kodi, and my friend, Twilight Sparkle. We were helping with my girlfriend's animals, Fluttershy.
Did you hear? One of her bunnies had a new litter of baby bunnies, and they're just so adorable.
"Ren, Twilight...please be gentle with them." Fluttershy pleaded before giving us a somewhat stern glare. "And if anything happens them, so help me..."
"Whoa, um, calm down Flutters." I smiled nervously. "Besides, I understand how you feel around these baby bunnies, we promise that we'll do our best to help them out."
"Yeah! Don't worry, Fluttershy!" Kodi agreed, wagging his tail in excitement. "Ren's been taking care of me since I was a little pup so it's no big deal!"
"And don't forget about Twilight." I added with a soft smile. "Twilight's magic has gotten a lot better since she accidentally crushed Spike, Applejack, and I with a giant snowball."
"Of course she's good with magic!" Fluttershy giggled nervously, her smile looking a little...strain. "Twilght's great with magic. I guess I just don't want my little friends to be scared."
"You mean how they're looking scared right now?" Kodi pointed his paw over at the little bunnies, who were shivering in fear.
"Oh, oh, look how scared they are!" Fluttershy cried out.
"I promise, Fluttershy." I reassured with a soft smile. "We aren't gonna hurt them. Don't you trust us?"
"Oh, s-sorry Ren..." Fluttershy coughed sheepishly, hiding her blush. "I-I was just...nervous and so worried about them."
"Well nothing bad will happen to them." Twilight reassured.
"Yeah! After all, we did come here to help you." Kodi added.
"Well...Alright." Fluttershy nodded.
"And I should probably hurry too!" Twilight nodded. "I've been practicing a lot with my magic for when Princess Celestia arrives with the delegates from Saddle Arabia. I can't believe she's trusting me with the entertainment!"
"Saddle...Arabia?" I sweat-dropped, scratching my cheek. Um, just how many places are there with these...names? I mean, I'm not discouraging it, but still...
"Oh...? Ren, I was wondering if you have any magic..." Fluttershy called. "You know, we never did learn much about your power?"
"Well didn't he use his power to restore Sombra with a single tear?" Spike reminded.
"Huh? Oh yeah..." I muttered, tilting my head a bit. "I mean...I didn't know much about it..."
"Huh...Well I was peculiar about your cheeks." Twilight hummed. "We know when Jamie received his Cutie-Marks, he was able to use magic but just use levitation. But judging by what you done to revive Sombra into another form, it must be some sort of healing magic."
"Healing magic?" I asked curiously. "You think I can do that?"
"Well...you could try." Fluttershy insisted before flying over and bringing over a baby rabbit, who looked like he had a small bruise on its leg. "This one gotten a little boo-boo just yesterday and it's steal healing..."
"Hmm..." I looked at the little rabbit, smiling softly. "Hi there little one...it's okay. I'm a very good friend / girlfriend to Flutters, so no worries. Let me just..."
I leaned down at the rabbit before slowly touching its bruised leg...
Okay now Ren...focus...focus...focus....
Five seconds later, a small shining light was brought into the room as it started to dimmed down and...
"It's...gone!" Spike gasped, seeing no bruise on the little guy's leg no more.
"It actually worked!" Kodi smiled brightly. "Way to go Ren!"
"Thanks you guys..." I blushed, rubbing the back of his head. "But really, I was just helping out."
"Yay!" Fluttershy cheered in her quiet self. "Ren, that was so kind of you to do that to the little one."
Fluttershy kissed me by the nose, causing me to blush more and feel more embarrassed...Well, I guess that proves that I do have some sort of healing magic.
"Wow! That was really amazing!" Spike complimented.
"That was quite impressive Ren..." Twilight nodded in agreement. "If you practice more, then you'll be able to do really well..."
"Thanks you guys." I smiled.
"Yeah!" Kodi jumped on me before he began licking my face, which made the others laughed excitedly, including me. Oh boy...!
THUD!
"Huh?!" Fluttershy cried out. "W-What was that?"
"It sounded like someone crashed somewhere around here..." I looked around before spotting a familiar rainbow tail on the ground. "Rainbow Dash?"
"Ngh...!" Uh oh, sounds like she's stuck in there for good. I better help her!
Quickly taking out my Hacking Gun, I dialed it to 'Move' and shot a green beam, levitating her out of the hole she made while she had a bit of a derpy look on her face before shaking it off, and gave us a distressful look.
"Twilight, we need you and Ren, fast!" Huh? What's up with her?
"Huh? Rainbow Dash? What's wrong?" I asked in concern, putting her down.
"You guys are not gonna believe who's back!" Rainbow Dash cried out. "It's Trixie, she's back and she's got some weird thing around her neck and she's using it on the others! Come on!"
"Trixie?!" I exclaimed in surprise.
Now that's a name that I never expected to hear again. Trixie was this mage magician who humiliated my friends and someone that me and Twilight defeated and taught her a lesson about respecting others. Well I think I was kinda naive while adjusting to this world, but so far, I think I've started to love this place.
Though the way on how I beaten her in that fight, I think I went too far...Mm...I hope we can forgive each other.
"Who's Trixie?" Kodi wondered.
"She's this mean mare that Twilight and Ren both defeated! It was awesome, you should have seen it!" Spike laughed.
"Spike, this isn't funny..." I shook my head. "I mean, I didn't mean to humiliate her back then...but we had to do something."
"Well we need to hurry before it's too late." Twilight frowned worriedly.
"Right!"
Just what is Trixie doing to my friends and the other people in town?
Oh my Celestia...
The moment we arrived in front of Town Hall, we found each of our friends in sort of...weird situations. Pinkie was missing her mouth, making her unable to talk as she just...well actually, I don't really know what she's trying to say.
"Miss Rarity...!" Mason cried out, trying to help her get rid of a tacky busy colored shirt.
"Don't look at me! I'm hideous!" Rarity whined. "These shades of brown should only be used for accents!"
"Hold on, we'll help you Rarity!" Carrie reassured.
"Sergeant Pinkie! Where in blazes is your mouth?!" Skye cried out, but was unable to get an answer from Pinkie. "Come on! Say something! Dammit!"
"H-Hold on tight!" Kaede shouted, trying to pull out two young colts horns' that were connected to each other. Wait, isn't that Snips and Snails? Well...that's awkward.
"Yow yow yow yow!" Huh? Is that Jack? We all looked over and saw a cloaked figure bouncing Jack up and down like a round ball. Wait a minute...! That horn...!
"Jack?!" Kodi called out in shock.
As the cloaked pony, or Trixie, continued to bounce Jack around by her magic...which was red? Wait a minute...what happened to the light pink?
"Trixie, stop picking on our friends!" Twilight said, glaring at Trixie's direction.
"Yeah." I agreed. "And let Jack go!"
"Hmph!" Trixie scoffed before throwing Jack straight at us.
"Whoa! Knock-back!" I quickly took out my Hacking Gun and shot Knock-back, shooting Jack out of the way.
"YOU DAMN BRAT!" Uh...oops? My bad...
As Jack was flinged in the air thanks to my Knock-back bullet, he was swarmed around in a dark blue magic before we looked over and saw Jamie using his hands to carry Jack over before gently putting him down while he had his notebook open in his other arm.
"Ow..." Jack groaned, shaking his head.
"Are you okay Jack...?" Jamie asked in concern.
"Yeah..." Jack coughed before getting up and letting out a snort. "And...thanks nerd."
"No problem." Jamie nodded with a smile.
"Sorry about that Jack. I just panicked." I frowned sadly.
"It's alright kid..." Jack sighed, nudging me by the shoulder before giving out a nasty glare at Trixie. "So I'm guessing this is the loud mouth brat we heard about?"
"Yeah..." I nodded before looking over at Trixie, who gave us a glare that send chills at my spine. Her eyes...were glowing dark red, like in a creepy way...
"So that's Trixie..." Mason muttered. "Ren, do you know her?"
"Yeah, she basically bragged so much that she made Twilight go crazy about showing off her magic and she hurt my friends." I explained, looking back at the mage and her crazy red eyes. Um, did she always had those?
"Well...Is she that scary looking?" Carrie asked in worried.
"D-Don't be intimidated by her glare, Private Carrie!" Skye reassured before bringing over her chopter. I'll annihilate the enemy into oblivion for messing with my troops!"
"G-Girls, calm down!" Kaede called. "But...Ren, Twilight, was she this scary-looking?"
"No...she wasn't." I shook my head before noticing something around her neck. "Huh? What's that?"
Right there on her neck was a silver pony head shaped neck with wings on the back, but right on the center was a red gem. It was...quite bright and really creepy looking.
"Where did that come from?" I thought aloud, confused by it. However, that gained Trixie's attention as she smiled softly at us, however the smile she gave was something to be terrified of.
"Ahh, Twilight Sparkle and Ren Loodan. So nice to see you both again." Trixie hissed.
"What do you want Trixie?" Twilight asked, glaring at her rival.
"What I always wanted...Revenge." Trixie hissed. "And I've been practicing this new power on your friends to ready myself against you two."
"Stop it Trixie!" I pleaded. "Leave our friends alone, please!"
"R-Right..." Jamie nodded.
"...Something's wrong." Nicole spoken, staring at Trixie with narrowed eyes. "Her...emotions...they're filled with so much rage, envy, and other types of negative emotion..."
"Just like the Umbrum Army..." Rantaro muttered, tilting his hat a bit before smirking, "Huh...I guess the million dollar answer is that that necklace must be doing that."
"My thoughts exactly." Nicole nodded.
"The necklace?" I asked in confusion. So wait, that necklace is what giving Trixie those creepy eyes and that different magenta magic horn thingy?
"Oh right...I think I've seen that necklace before..." Jamie muttered.
You did? Then...is that thing something we haven't seen before? Just what is that?
"I'm here to challenge Twilight Sparkle and Ren Loodan to a magic dual to see which of one of us is truly the most powerful pony in all of Equestria!" Wait what?! But hold on...! Isn't that kinda going too far just to settle this? I mean, first off, I'm not even interested onto proving that I'm the best at all! What the heck?! "Winner stays and the loser leaves Ponyville...forever!"
"Hold up Trixie!" I called out, forcing her to glare straight at my direction. "This doesn't make any sense! Why are you doing this!?"
"Why...?!" Trixie growled, gritting her teeth. "Because you two humiliated me! After you two showed me up with that Ursa Minor, I became a laughing stock! Everywhere I went I was laughed at and ostracized. I even had to take a job on a rock farm just to earn a living! A rock farm!"
"Wait, seriously?" Rantaro blank-faced at that comment. "A rock farm?"
"I can't say that's not something you hear everyday..." Nicole sighed, shaking her head.
"Wait, why a rock farm?" Skye asked in confusion. "Wouldn't being part of the military or whatever you guys have here be a lot simpler than that?"
"SILENCE!" Trixie exclaimed, shutting my friends up. "Now I want revenge! And I'll just keep casting spells till you agree. Well? What do you say?"
To prove her statement, she fired a red ray at the Golden Oak Library, making the whole thing rise into the air and tipped it upside down, and shake it, making books fall out of the windows, including Owlicious.
"Owlicious!" Jamie cried out in shock before raising his hand, levitating Owlicious over to him before grabbing him by the arms, much to Jamie's relief. "Are you okay?"
"Hoo!" Owlicious nods before nuzzling him, making Jamie chuckle a bit.
"Are you crazy?!" Mason called out in anger. "All of this because Ren and Twilight were teaching you a lesson!"
"SILENCE!" Trixie shouted, creating a powerful shockwave that send us all back, falling on our backs.
"Ngh...talk about holding a grudge." Rantaro groaned.
"Tch...Who is this crazy girl?" Skye pouted. "I swear that I'm gonna make Swiss cheese...!"
"Skye, calm down." I reassured before slowly getting up. "Besides, there's no way we're gonna accept her challenge..."
"No Ren, she's right." Twilight groaned, having Jamie and Spike help her up. "Even if we clean this mess up, she'll just keep casting spells to everypony, even you guys until we accept her offer."
"But still..." I frowned before looking back at Trixie, who continues to fire random magic spells at each pony she sees in a distance.
"Ren..." Huh? I looked back at Fluttershy, who nods with a pleading look.
Fluttershy...Okay, I understand you guys. As leader of my human friends, I promise that I wouldn't let them down.
"Alright then, let's get this over with." Twilight sighed before she started to approach Trixie, "Alright Trixie, I accept your challenge."
"Same here." I agreed, taking out my Hacking Gun. "We won't let you harm anypony nor our friends anymore!"
"Ren, be careful!" Carrie shouted in worried.
"Don't worry Corporeal Loodan!" Skye saluted. "We'll heroically...stepped aside from you guys' battle."
Um...okay? Thank you?
"Hmph!" Trixie smirked, walking towards us. "Very well, but remember; If you two win, I won't set hoof in Ponyville again. But if you two lose...You're the ones banished from this one-horse town!"
"Alright then, bring it on Trixie!" I exclaimed with a determined look, aiming my gun at her.
"Whenever you're ready, Trixie..." Twilight stood in a battle pose, her horn glowing. "Let's duel!"
"Very well..." Trixie makes a menacing smirk. "Let's begin...NOW!"
Trixie fired a magic beam straight at us, which me and Twilight dodged before it hit both Snips and Snails.
"AAHHHHH!" Oh crap-baskets! Are they alright?!
Suddenly, a big puffy smoke cleared around the two till it cleared up and revealed two small baby foals...Wait a minute...
"Did they just...?!" I gasped, widening my eyes a bit upon seeing them.
"They've been turned into babies?!" Kaede exclaimed in shock.
"An age spell?!" Twilight widened hey eyes in horror. "But...There's no way you can do an age spell, that's only for the highest-level unicorn mages!"
"Give up, Twilight?" Trixie asked with a confident smile.
Twilight gave her a deadpanned look before taking a deep breath and wrapped both Snips and Snails in an aura and attempted to turn them back.
"Heh, in that case..." Trixie fired a powerful red beam straight at her.
"Twilight, look out!" I quickly got in the air before firing a 'Break' bullet straight at it, but it immediately gotten destroyed in an moment, resulting in a small explosion.
"Crap-baskets!" I cried out, skidding back along with Twilight.
"AHH!" Due to the explosion, Twilight lost her focus before accidentally dropping the foal versions of Snips and Snails, which I managed to catch before they landed on the ground.
"What the hell?!" Jack exclaimed.
"Hey, that's cheating!" Skye clenched her fists, glaring at Trixie.
"If those two are so good, then they wouldn't mind a little distraction." Trixie gloated before firing another red beam straight at us.
"Twilight, watch out!" I pushed her out of the way while I side-stepped out of the way before throwing the babies over to Fluttershy, who successfully caught them in time. "Thanks Flutters!"
"You're welcome." Fluttershy smiled softly.
"Just die!" Trixie yelled out before firing more magic beams at us. I quickly dodged before changing the dial before shooting another Truth Bullet at her.
"Dance!" This will stopped her! I mean, I did it before with her, I can do it again!
"Dance to this!" Trixie fired a similar beam to my 'Dance' bullet, causing the two to collide and create a small shockwave, blowing me a bit.
"W-Whoa!" I shrieked, nearly tripped while surprised by that powerful attack. Just how is she getting so strong?! Unless...it's that amulet she's wearing!
"How do you like this?" Trixie smirked, firing another beam straight at us.
"Watch out!" I quickly covered myself with my arms till a beam of magic came in and countered Trixie's magic.
"What the?" Trixie blinked.
"Stop it...!" We all turned to Jamie, who used his magic powers to counter it.
Trixie growled, "This doesn't involve you, shrimp."
"Hey, nobody calls the nerd, shrimp but me!" Jack exclaimed.
Trixie scoffed, "Oh please, chubby." A tick mark came on Jack's head.
Oh boy... here we go.
"Ooh, you're gonna get it now." Jack growled, he was about to rush Trixie but Mason held him back, "Jack, don't who knows what she'll do to you!"
"Well she won't know what hit her in five seconds!" Jack yelled out back at him.
"Psst, Ren...!" Twilight whispered to me, grabbing my attention. "Don't worry! I'll try and keep her busy! You try and fire a powerful bullet attack."
"I'll try...!" I nodded before Twilight fired another beam at her, which Trixie retaliated by firing another beam at her. I quickly set the dial over to 'Move' before noticing an empty carriage cart, prompting me to come up with an idea.
Although, I don't want hurt her, but it's the only way!
While Trixie and Twilight were still duking it out, I used 'Move' and levitated the carriage cart and threw it at her.
"What the?!" Trixie widened her eyes before it crashed into her.
"Sorry...!" I apologized.
"Don't apologize to your opponent!" Skye screamed, flailing her arms around. "She's the enemy!"
I sweat-dropped at Skye, "Right..."
Heh heh, I forgot about that, but still...
Suddenly...
The cart suddenly glowed and burst into pieces and Trixie was seen steaming mad. "Oh boy!" i whimpered.
"You'll pay for that!" Trixie fired a blast at me, but I countered with, "Break!" The two collided and made a small explosion.
"W-Whoa!" I winced, skidding back from the attack.
"Trixie! Stop this!" Twilight fired multiple beams of magic at Trixie, which she protected herself in a bubble shield. Twilight kept attacking till she slowly started to grow tired.
"Looks like Trixie has secured her win." Trixie before firing her red magic beam at Twilight, taking her down.
"Twilight!" I cried out, rushing over to her till Trixie fired another beam at me. "Break!"
I used 'Break' and destroyed the beam before helping Twilight up.
"Ngh...I'm almost running out of Mana..." Twilight groaned, rubbing her head.
Upon hearing that, Trixie started laughing maniacally and hissed, "Looks like I win, Twilight."
"No, it's not over yet." I stated, helping her get up and taking out my Hacking Gun. "I'm still standing."
"Oh, but I'm afraid that you're gonna have to forfeit." Trixie smirked, much to my confusion. Why would I-
"AAH!" I looked and saw Kodi and Spike being grabbed by a giant hand, red in color.
"Kodi! Spike!" I cried out in shock.
"Now listen to what I have to say..." Trixie smirks. "If you forfeit, I'll let them go and you two will be banished out of Ponyville forever. If you don't...then you'll know what happens.
I can't believe this! She's totally cheating right here! She's willing to use both Kodi and Spike as a way to convince me! But she's right...I can't let her do this...She'll...
I looked at Kodi and Spike who were giving me signs not to give in to her. But I couldn't live with myself if anything happened to them because of me.
"...I quit." I sighed, putting away my Hacking Gun.
"Ren no!" Kodi called.
"Good choice." Trixie smirked. The large hand disappeared and Kodi and Spike came over along with the others.
"And now it's time for you both to leave Ponyville...forever!" Trixie exclaimed, wrapping me and Twilight in her magic aura.
"That's enough Trixie!" Applejack exclaimed.
"You've proved your point, but you can't possibly expect Twilight and Ren to leave Ponyville." Rarity added.
"Yeah, you maggot!" Skye added, glaring hard at them.
"You fools!" Trixie cackled. "They're already gone!"
"What?!" Kaede and Fluttershy gasped before the gang turned around and watched me and Twilight getting thrown out high into the sky.
I can't believe it...I lost...I really don't mind to be honest...but now we'll be banished out of town...
......Hm? Uh, are we outside of Ponyville or...? What the?
In just a moment, me and Twilight stopped mid-air before settling down on the ground. Hey, this isn't Trixie's aura...it's light pink. So whose aura is this?
"Hey, who did that?!" Trixie growled, seeing what happened.
"I did!" Huh? Who said who?
We noticed the crowd moving out of the way, revealing another cloaked pony. Although, we didn't see their face and all you could see was their white hooves and white horn, meaning that they were a unicorn. Although, that voice...it almost sounded like a girl, and...it sounded like a familiar Disney star...
"Huh?" Kodi blinked. "Another unicorn?"
"Whoa..." I muttered, looking over at the pony. "Thank you, um, ma'am..."
Who is this? I mean, she overcame Trixie's new power....That's really shocking-
"Ugh..." What? What's wrong...? My head...I feel as though...Wait...have I...seen this girl before...?
Trixie growled at the unicorn pony, "How dare you interfere with me?!"
She blasted a beam at the unicorn but then suddenly, a white tiger came in front of her and absorbed the blast!
"The hell?!" Jack widened his eyes before laying his eyes at the girl in the hood, and then started groaning along with the others.
"What in the world is going on with my head?" Skye groaned. "I call blasphemy on this...!"
It's happening to the nine of us...this is definitely not a coincidence...it's like...we've seen her before...
"Grrrr..." Trixie started growling angrily at the pony, feeling frustrated that her magic was counteracted by her.
"Having great power is one thing, but how you use it is quite another." The unicorn said.
However, Trixie scoffed at that claim and replied, "Nobody has greater power than me."
To prove her point, she shot another beam but the unicorn made a barrier around her and the blast bounced by off of the shield and into the sky.
"Whoa...!" We all blinked in awe by how quickly the cloaked unicorn blocked it.
"How the hell did she do that?" Jack whispered over to me, which I shrugged and shook my head before we continued to watch.
"Oh, so you think you're so powerful then how about you and I have a magic duel. Same rules as before. Loser leaves Ponyville forever!" Trixie suggested with a cocky grin.
"...Deal!" The unicorn nodded, shocking us all.
"Hmph. Good." Trixie cackled, walking off. "Prepare to lose."
Once Trixie was gone out of sight, we all turned over to the cloaked unicorn and her white tiger before we walked over to her.
"Hey wait!" I called her over. "Um, excuse me? Um, please be careful. I don't want you to get hurt."
"Don't worry, I'll be fine, but if you wanna know more. Go to the Golden Oak Library. There all will be explained." She explained before she walked away with her tiger companion.
"Okay...?" I muttered confusedly, tilting my head a bit.
"Wonder what's going on? Who was that?!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed.
"...I don't know...but she's something..." Mason muttered, placing a hand on his forehead. "And I don't know why...but I get this feeling inside me like...I know her."
"Really?! Me too?!" I asked in surprise before looking back where that cloaked unicorn and her white tiger friend last stood. "One look at her, and I can tell...I felt this strange feeling inside my heart like...I knew her."
"Well if she knows what's going on with Trixie then we better go to the library." Twilight suggested.
"She's right. She seems to know more than she's letting on." Nicole stated.
"Hm...Yeah..." Rantaro nodded before turning to me.
"Y-Yeah...Come on, let's get over to the library before we see their match." I nodded before we began making our way to the ruined Golden Oak Library to learn much about what's going on. It looked a bit...out of touch considering Trixie shook that place over and over again.
"The library..." Jamie frowned sadly. "It looks like after this, we have a lot of cleaning up to do..."
"Yeah..." I nodded with a sad frown. "Listen you guys, I'm really sorry for what happened...even you Spike and Kodi. I really let you guys down."
"It's okay Ren, there's no need to worry!" Spike reassured.
"Yeah!" Kodi smiled before licking my face. "You had no choice thanks to Trixie!"
"Private Kodiak's right!" Skye nodded. "You were forced to surrender thanks to that no good mean old witch!"
"You mean mage?" Applejack rose a brow.
"Shut up, Private Applejack, I meant what I said!" Skye rolled her eyes. "Now come on, let's find out what this unicorn wants. Besides, we need answers on our missing memories!"
"Yeah, that is true..." I nodded before softly smiling down at my pet dog and best friend. "Thank you Kodiak."
"No problem Ren!" Kodi smiled before we headed inside of the library, finding the unicorn mage and her tiger inside.
"Ah, I've seen you have come." She said.
"Yes, and let met be the first to tell you cannot beat her." Mason stated, crossing his arms. "Did you see what she did to Rarity, Jack, and some of the other folks."
"Not to mention Snips and Snails, she turned them into babies!" Twilight informed. "Only high level unicorns can do that kind of magic! How could she do it?"
"Well she's obviously not a high-level unicorn. So how could she do those spells?" Kaede wondered.
"It's that necklace around her neck." The unicorn said. "Or should I say the Alicorn Amulet!"
"WHAT?!" Jamie and Twilight gasped in shock. "How did she get that?!"
"What is the Alicorn Amulet?" Nicole questioned.
"It's a magical artifact that bestows the pony whose wearing to be bless with untold powers, but it corrupts the user the more times the pony uses it." The unicorn explained. "But...if she keeps using it, she'll simply be consumed by the darkness radiating by it, and...she'll be nothing..."
"It's true. I read about it one of the books." Jamie nodded. "I-It's a real problem if we don't do something to prevent that!"
"So that explains why her magic aura was red instead of blue." I widened my eyes a bit, realizing about that fact.
"So all we have to do is take it off, easy." Rantaro shrugged, however the unicorn shook her head and retorted his claim.
"You can't. The only pony who can take it off is Trixie due to the magical lock on it."
"She's right about that too..." Jamie frowned.
"Thanks a lot for reminding us." Jack scoffed, punching him in the shoulder.
"O-Ow...I-I'm sorry." Jamie apologized.
"Great, now what?!" Rainbow huffed. "With those kinds of spells, you won't stand a chance against her!"
"maybe you should forfeit?" Fluttershly meekly suggested, only to receive from both Jack and Rainbow Dash. "N-Never mind..."
"I'm not backing down. I'm going to the magic duel." The unicorn declared determinedly.
"But you can't beat her horn to horn." Twilight said, but only to receive a shaking head from her.
"I won't because of this." She opens up her cloak, revealing a golden necklace with a rainbow colored heart gemstone in the center.
Huh, strange...it sorta reminds me of the Elements of Harmony, but that's impossible, right?
"Woah..." We all muttered in awe.
"This is my Amulet of Hope. It's just as powerful as the Alicorn Amulet." She explained to us.
"Amulet of...Hope?" I asked in confusion. Now that's something that you wouldn't hear everyday.
"You seem pretty confident that you can take her down, eh?" Rantaro joked.
"I am confident in my abilities because I believe in myself. The opponents' overconfidence will be her downfall in this duel."
Upon answering him back, Rantaro went silent and just stared at her with a serious look. Nicole did the same and looked directly at the cloaked unicorn's face, however, most of her face was covered by the hoodie.
"Well either way, be careful." I warned.
"Yeah, that enemy is quite tricky." Skye added. "We have to do something! Hmm, I could trick her with a disguise."
Pinkie nodded eagerly at that while the rest of us stared at them in a deadpanned manner.
"And how will a disguise even work?" Jack asked with a deadpanned look.
"To fool the enemy, duh!" Skye smirked. "I'll be a gal playing a gal disguise as another gal...!"
Pinkie hummed and nodded happily, trying to say but nothing came out because she had no mouth.
"...Yeah no." Rantaro rolled his eyes.
"Don't worry, I have many tricks as well. More than what your eyes can see." The unicorn said.
Well...if she says that it that easily, then I guess I can trust her.
"Oh, we never got your name uh, ma'am." I scratched my cheek.
"The name is Sarah. Sarah Gem." The unicorn introduced herself. "And this." She turned to her white tiger, "Is Snowflake, my best friend." The white tiger nuzzled her while purring.
"Sarah...Gem..." I muttered, frowning in confusion.
Why have this strange feeling...that I've heard her name somewhere? Just who is she?
"Hey Sarah...um...have we...met...?" I asked in confusion, but the cloaked unicorn went silent. "Sarah...?"
"No, we haven't met before." She said simply.
"Oh...Okay..." Then why do I have this uneasy feeling that we have?
“Now its time for the magic duel.” Sarah said. “Come along Snowflake.” Her tiger purred and followed her outside.
"Hmm..." I hummed, wondering how this will go. But...I know that she can do that.
Wait, I do? Well maybe it's my heart telling me that she can do it. Although, how can I be so sure?
"...." Nicole watches Sarah and her pet tiger take their leave. "Hmm...Sarah Gem..."
I wonder much about her...I just wonder much about who she is...Just who is Sarah Gem?
Later
The time has come. The battle between Trixie and Sarah Gem was about to commence. We all were watching from the sidelines, right over the town hall where Trixie was, sitting in her own makeshift throne while some ponies, including Snips and Snails, were feeding her grapes while also painting a portrait of her.
"Talk about being arrogant." Kodi whimpered.
"Tell me about it." Skye rolled her eyes. "What an idiot..."
"Ah...you have arrived." Trixie spotted Sarah and her pet tiger walking towards her. "I was awaiting for your arrival..."
"Same here." Sarah said while her white tiger growls at them.
"Well...Since you're here, allow me to give you the same rules that I gave Twilight Sparkle and Ren Loodan when you interrupted our earlier fight." Trixie smirked.
"I'm well aware of the rules. If I lose, I'll leave Ponyville forever, but if I win, you leave Ponyville forever." Sarah stated.
"Heh, glad to see your little brain can hold that info." Trixie chuckled.
"And also, I know that you're using the Alicorn Amulet." Sarah stated firmly, shocking Trixie as she tries to act innocent.
"W-What?" Trixie asked.
"Trixie...You need to take that off. It's only controlling you, and eventually, your entire existence will be nothing but a shadow." Sarah warned, but Trixie shook her head before glaring at her.
"Enough! I don't want to hear it! Let's get this magic duel started!" Trixie then turns to Snips and Snails before shouting out their names. "SNIPS! SNAILS!"
"W-W-What is it, all great and powerful Trixie?" Snips asked fearfully.
Trixie clears her throat before addressing over to Sarah, "Let's start with a simple age spell shall we?"
"Let's." Sarah nodded.
To demonstrate, Trixie began performing her age spell by shooting a beam of magic straight at the two small fillies admirers of hers, poofing them into small foals.
"Ha! Top that!" Trixie smirked arrogantly.
"Age spell?" Carrie asked curiously. "There's something like that?"
"Yes," Twilight nodded. "But only high-level unicorn mages and wizards can do that."
Hmm...Well I guess you're right. But can Sarah do that?
"Like this? Snowflake." Hm? Wait, is she actually gonna do it...?
Her tiger stepped in front of her and she blasted it with her magic...changing it into a cub?!
"What?" Twilight blinked.
"The hell?" Jack rose a brow. "D-Did she actually...?"
"Whoa!" I exclaimed in shock. "She actually done it?!"
Trixie was even caught off-guard, jaw-dropping at the sight. Sarah then turned Snowflake back into a fully grown tiger and then fired at the two foals, turning Snips and Snails back to their original selves too. The blue mage shook off the shock before glaring angrily at Snowflake.
"So you can do age spells. Let's see how you do with the weather?" She taunted before using her amulet and it allowed her to create a rain cloud in the middle of town.
Sarah used her magic and her Amulet to make a thunder and lightning cloud appear and it shot small small lightning bolts out of it along with some wind gusts.
"Cool..." Carrie and Skye muttered in awe.
"Hmm..." Nicole hummed, staring at Sarah.
Wow....Sarah's getting really good at this. She's surpassing Trixie by every minute she casts a spell.
I mean, look at Trixie right now, she's just speechless just like I am right now. Not too long that the blue mare started growling angrily at Sarah, twitching her right eye.
Oh boy, that can't be good.
"Sarah is really good..." Fluttershy muttered, covering her mouth in surprise. "I never seen anypony do that before..."
"Mm-hmm..." I couldn't help but nodded in agreement there. Just who is this Sarah Gem?
Suddenly, Trixie's horn started to glow really red, and her eyes were glowing dark red out of insanity and anger!
"Fine then, try this!" She cried out and used her magic to create a large poof of red, and soon cleared up to reveal a large red hydra about fifty feet tall and sixty feet long! Oh my god! That thing almost looks like the hydra back when Twilight was trying to understand Pinkie Pie. She made it appear right in front of us?!
"Oh no!" Jamie cried.
"What the hell is that?!" Jack exclaimed.
"Well...we're boned." Rantaro bluntly said, earning a sweat-drop from me. Yeah, we kinda are dude.
"Hahaha! Try and defeat this!" Trixie laughed maniacally.
"Are you insane?!" Kaede exclaimed. "Nobody has said anything about summoning any creatures!"
"Trixie! Stop this at once!" Twilight demanded. "Right now, this has gone too far!"
Upon hearing our protest, Trixie's eyes flowed red before giving us a dirty look and shouted "NEVER!"
Whoa, jeez! Isn't she going too insane right now?!
"I'll prove I'm the most powerful unicorn and I won't let anypony else stand in my way!" She turned her attention towards the hydra. "Destroy that cloaked unicorn!"
What?! Oh no! Sarah's in trouble!
The hydra looked down at Sarah and growled at her.
"Sarah, run!" I called, trying to make run before it was too late.
"Get out of there!" Rainbow added.
However, Sarah didn't move a muscle at all and just stood there....till she took out something from her cloak.
Huh? Is that a...card? And does it have a...Styracosaurs on it? Yeah, that's definitely it. But why would she have that? Wait a minute...how does she have it? Have I seen something like that before?
"POWER!" Sarah cried out, pressing onto her amulet before it started glowing, shooting out and unveiling some sort of device in the shape of an arm bracer, attaching to Sarah's right foreleg, before she swiping the card through the mechanical bracer as it began glowing yellow and soon , the card changed into a fully sized Styracosaurs!
"Holy crap baskets!" I cried out in shock.
"What?! How is that even possible?!" Jamie added.
Both Nicole and Rantaro widened their eyes in shock, unable to process what was right in front of them.
"What the hay is that thing?" Applejack asked.
"A Styracosaurs. An extinct horned dinosaur from our world." Jamie explained before looking back at Sarah and the newly appeared Styracosaurs.
"Ready Blitz?" Sarah asked, which Blitz roared loudly and charged at the Hydra. Wait, did she just called that dinosaur 'Blitz'? Where have I heard that name before?
BAM!
Whoa! That's gotta leave a mark! In case you guys didn't see, the dinosaur that's named 'Blitz' rammed the Hydra in the stomach with his long hose horn. The Hydra roared in pain before smacked in the face with its tail.
"What?! No no no no! You stupid...!" Trixie hissed before shouting, "BLAST IT OR ELSE!"
The Hydra shook off the pain before launching red beams from each of its heads, and made contact with Blitz...However....
"W-What?!" We all gawked in shock upon seeing the beams barely fazing Blitz, deflecting off of its frill and into the air!
"It deflected the magic?!" Twilight widened her eyes in shock.
"Well I'll be." Applejack gasped in awe.
"Tell me about it! What the heck is going on?!" Skye exclaimed.
"Grrr...!" Uh oh, I don't like that twitchy look she's giving us. "HIT HIM AGAIN! AGAIN! AGAIN! AGAIN!"
The Hydra let out a monstrous roar, scaring off some of the folks who were witnessing this battle, as the four headed beast charged straight at Blitz till the Styracosaurs stepped out of the way, and used his horn to lift the Hydra into the air.
"What the fudge?" Jack widened his eyes. "Okay, now that's strong..."
"I honestly don't know what's happening anymore..." Mason groaned, face-palming.
Five seconds late, the hydra started falling back down before crashing onto the ground, fully unconscious.
"Now let's finish this Blitz." Sarah called. "Lightning Spear!"
Sarah's amulet began glowing, and so was Blitz with sparkling electricity all around his body. He charged the Hydra and struck it down. Leaping into the air with the hydra on ya horns and sword of electricity went right though it and the hydra roared in pain.
"Holy crap!" Skye exclaimed in awe. Blitz landed on its feet while the hydra crashed down and sparked with electricity before slowly began disappearing into magical sparkle dust.
“She did it!” Spike smiled brightly, pumping his fist in the air.
"Hooray!" Kodiak barked happily. Soon, the crowd came out of their hiding places before they all began cheering and hooting happily, finally seeing everything over.
Blitz came over and nuzzled Sarah, “Good job, Blitz.” Then she turned to Trixie. “I told you your overconfidence would be your downfall.”
Trixie twitched her eyes angrily before smirking devilishly at her. Huh? What is she doing...?
“And your downfall...will be right now!” She then took the Alicorn Amulet off her neck, dropping it off her neck before swiping the other Amulet off of Sarah’s neck! “Once I wear this Amulet, I’ll become the most powerful unicorn in all of Equestria! Hahah!” She removed the Alicorn amulet and placed on Sarah’s... but when she tried to use its powers nothing happened. “What? What’s the meaning of this?”
“Did I forget to mention that my Amulet has a magical lock so only I can unlock its powers and use them.” Sarah informed.
Woah. Now that’s something I did not expect. Holy cow, that's...actually pretty impressive and clever at the same time.
Sarah then took the two Amulets in her magic and placed her own amulet back on her neck before saying, “I’ll be taking this and putting it into hidings.”
Sarah glared down at the Alicorn Amulet, feeling upset seeing it. Huh...wonder what's up with her?
Soon, her Amulet glowed and Blitz started glowing, and eventually...it reverted to a...
"Aww...!"
It's a baby...dinosaur now? Wow...that's something that you wouldn't see everyday. Kaede, Carrie, Skye, Rarity, and Pinkie all gushed happily at the sight of it. The baby dinosaur, Blitz, tilted its head and looked around before Sarah picked him up and nuzzled his nose, making it roar happily.
The crowd all started cheering for Sarah, each thanking her for what she done for them while the rest of us stood there in shock.
"...What just happened?" Jamie asked.
"I-I...really don't know, Jamie." Mason groaned, face-palming.
Well I for one am completely amazed and shocked at the power she had. Just what else does she have? Although...that name of her dinosaur...
"Blitz...?" I muttered, crossing my arms. Now that's a name that I swear that I've heard about. Blitz...Blitz...Blitz.....! Wait a minute!
"Hey wait! Blitz?! As in...Blitz...from Dino King?!" I exclaimed in shock."Dino King?!" Skye exclaimed in shock. "Oh my god! You watch that anime too! I love it!"
"Yeah! Same here!" I nodded before turning to Sarah. "And the only you can summon him if you had a Dino Bracer! And that right there is an actual Dino Bracer! Cool!"
"Wait...this Blitz character is that baby dinousaur?" Mason questioned.
"And Dino King...is an anime...?" Kaede asked in confusion. "And you've seen it too, Skye?"
"C-Course I have Private Ross! W-What do you take me for?!" Skye exclaimed, pouting. "Anime is one of my favorite things, okay?!"
"Okay?" Kaede sweat-dropped.
"Hey wait!" I rushed over to Sarah. "Hey, how...did you get that? I mean, that only exists in anime...Can you tell me please?"
"That is something that refers to my past." Sarah said. "And Blitz isn't the only dinosaur I have."
"You have more?!" We all exclaimed in shock, while Sarah nodded.
"Can you show us please?" Carrie asked curiously.
"Hmm..." Sarah thought for a while before nodding, "Alright then."
She then revealed her Dino Bracer as several cards came out of her cloak, and were slashed through the red bracer, revealing more dinosaurs in small baby forms, just like Blitz!
"Amazing! A Fukuisaurus! Amargasaurus! Acrocanthasaurus! Stegosaurus! Pachycephlasaurus! Deinonychus! And an Allosaurus!” Jamie exclaimed with his eyes sparking. All the ponies were in awe and chartered amazing themselves. I noticed the Deinonychus and Pachycephlasaurus had a rainbow glow to them. The Pachycephlasaurs’ head was glowing in the rainbow colors while the Deinonychus had the glow all over their bodies. I wonder why?
"So these critters won't harm anyone right?" Applejack asked.
“No, they’re my friends and they know better don’t you?” Sarah asked, the dinosaurs nodded in agreement.
“Amazing!” I squealed while Skye’s eyes were glittering with wonder before they exclaimed, "Oh gods, this is just amazing! What's next? Kung Fu Panda coming to life?"
"Whoa! You've seen that too?!" I exclaimed in surprise. "Awesome!"
"I know right?!" Skye laughed.
“Anyway..." Kaede cleared her throat, looking down at the chibi dinosaurs. "And they all have a baby form?” Kaede asked.
"It’s called Chibi form and yes." Sarah nodded before she pressed the button on her Dino Bracer and the dinosaurs turned into cards and then Sarah swiped the cards gain and the dinos were turned into their chibi forms.
"They are so cute." Fluttershy cooed and the sight of them.
The chibi dinosaurs all have tiny roars, each cooing at us. Man, this is just awesome seeing the real thing! Who is she? Does she have the ability to bring anime to life?!
"T-This...This can't be?!" Huh? Oh right! Trixie! I forgot that she was standing there. "You...! You...!! You...!!!"
"Trixie..." Twilight narrowed her eyes at her. "That's enough. Sarah here defeated you in combat, so you should stop while you have the point."
"But I....I....!" Trixie twitched her eyes. "I'm supposed to be the greatest! And don't you even dare talk to me! You are nothing but a single-rate Unicorn! You didn't beat me! You didn't prove anything at all! You didn't learn anything! Neither that stupid human freak, Ren Loodan!"
"She's right..." Twilight muttered, looking down sadly.
I couldn't help but frown at that too. I lost because I forfeited because she tried to hurt Kodi and Spike...
"That's not true." Sarah stepped over and stood by me and Twilight's side, placing a hoof on her shoulder while smiling softly at the two of us. "While it is true that both Twilight and Ren lost to you, they at least fought for their friends to end their madness. They used their powers as a way to protect their friends, that's what it means to having power. Although, you wouldn't know about using your power because you abused it Trixie...After all, the Alicorn Amulet is said to control its user through its darkness...Everything you spouted from how you felt...because you just wanted attention, right? That's what you mostly desire, right?"
Trixie widened her eyes in shock before looking away, darkening her face.
"I thought so..." Sarah frowned. "Trixie...Were you scared of being lonely?"
"...S-So what?! Why do you care?!" Trixie cried out.
"Trixie..." Twilight muttered, feeling bad for her.
"Trixie, we're just concerned for you." I spoken, giving her a soft smile. "I can understand your anger, but that doesn't mean you should just keep being boastful and rude and snarky and hurt our friends. Revenge is never gonna solve your problems, the best way is to let it go...and try again. After all, there's nothing wrong on having a second chance, that I can understand...It's okay to make friends. Like Princess Celestia said, always believe in the Magic of Friendship."
"....." Trixie doesn't even say anything back to me, but instead, she looks away sadly before muttering, "Maybe..."
Trixie then runs off while me and Twilight looked at each other in worried.
Trixie...I think I'm beginning to understand you now than we last met. Is that why you were acting like that?
“Humph. Good riddance.” Jack grinned. “I hope we don’t have to deal with her again.”
Well I didn’t really want to never see her again. I just wanted to help her change.... if I could.
"Jack!" Kaede pouted.
"That's really mean!" Carrie added.
"So what? Doesn't matter." Jack rolled her eyes. "That crazy pony had it coming. Serves her right for making me into a bouncy ball."
Mason sighed before whacking Jack in the head with his pole.
"That's enough out of your mouth before you spit out more nonsense." Mason sighed.
"OW! Stupid kid!" Jack growled, trying to punch him till Mason dodged it. "Hey!"
"Enough you two!" Rarity gave the two a stern glare, forcing the two to stop before looking away in annoyance.
"Fine..." The two sighed in unison.
“So Sarah, where are you going to stay?” Twilight asked. "You know, since you're new around here?"
“Snowflake and I will just sleep in the forest nearby.” Sarah said, which shocked all of us.
Rarity gasped in horror, “You sleep in the forest?!”
Sarah nodded, “I’ve been doing that since day one.”
That caused me to jaw dropped. Sarah has been sleeping in the forest for who knows how long yet she doesn’t look like the forest-sleeper type?!
“That simply won’t do. You and your friends need a proper place to stay.” Rarity said.
“You can stay with us in the home-ship.” Kaede offered.
“I don’t wanna be a burden on any of you.” Sarah stated.
“You won’t be a burden. You, Snowflake and your dinos deserve it.” Mason said. “Especially after dealing with Trixie.”
“Umm... well.. alright I’ll stay with you.”
“Great.” I said with a smile. “Oh and Sarah.”
“Hmm?”
“Can you...uh, take your hood down so we can see your face? You haven’t really shown us what you look like.”
“Oh, I guess it would be okay.” She pulled down her hood to show us her white face and black mane with a rainbow stripe in the center and her Amulet of Hope on her neck. “Woah...” the Mane 6 gasped.
“You look gorgeous, darling.” Rarity commented.
“Thanks.” Sarah said.
“So now what?” Spike asked.
“Well we can start by fixing the damage Trixie made around town.” Twilight said as she looked at some damaged buildings from the battle.
“I’ll help too.” Sarah suggested, but Rarity interrupted her.
“No no no, you’ve already done enough darling. We’ll handle the rest while you go to the home shop with Ren and the others.” Rarity reassured.
“Are you sure?” Sarah asked as Rarity nodded and said, “Alright if that’s what you want.”
“Come on Sarah, let’s get the home ship and find you a place to stay.” I said with a soft smile.
Sarah nodded and followed us to the home ship with her chibi dinosaurs following us.
"Is her dinosaurs literally walking with her?" Jack asked.
"Apparently so." Rantaro sighed. "Although...I never thought to see living dinosaurs come to life."
Me too...Is that crazy or what?
"...." Nicole stares at Sarah for a while, along with Rantaro. Eventually, we followed her over and started walking by with her.
"So Sarah...about your past...you said that you got that thing from the past? Like it was made?" Jamie questioned. "Ren mentioned it's from an anime, but I highly doubt it's possible to replicate the features of these kind of creatures and such...am I wrong?"
"Well each dinosaurs is combined with a natural Element. For Blitz, it's lighting. Blossom, it's grass. Blaze, it's fire. Aqua, it's water. Quake, it's earth and for Deino, Dana, Sue, and Pachy, it's light. The Dino Bracer has six stones inside that hold the spirits of the dinosaurs allowing their cards to be activated." Sarah explained, which Jamie nodded before copying them down in his book.
"Six stones..." Jamie muttered.
"Huh...that's really...cool." I complimented. "So uh, do you mean...? I mean, how...could you possibly get a real Dino Bracer?"
"Like I said, it was a gift from my past." Sarah stated, looking at her bracer before it slowly started glowing and disappeared with her Amulet glowing as well the moment the Dino Bracer glowed. Huh...did her Amulet managed to bring that to life or something?
Her White Tiger purred and nuzzled her face, which earned a soft smile from Sarah's face before she rubbed its head.
"So how'd you come across a white tiger?" Jamie asked. "They're extremely rare in the wild."
"I found her while I was on my travels." Sarah replied with a soft smile.
"Travels?" I asked.
"Snowflake and I had our fair share of travels before we came here to Ponyville." Sarah chuckled, smiling.
"You mean around Equestria?" Mason questioned, crossing his arms.
"And beyong as well." Sarah nodded, surprising me a bit.
Whoa...she and her tiger friend traveled all over Equestria and beyond?! That's amazing!
"That's pretty impressive." Mason commented.
"Tell me about it! You're totally strong!" Skye smiled. "We need to totally hang out a lot! Come on, can't we do that?!"
"Hmm...I guess." Sarah shrugged.
"Yeah." Kaede added before hearing her chibi dinosaurs giving out some roars at us before Blitz came up to me.
"Aww...hi little fella." I picked him up and brought him to my face. Whoa...this is amazing...it's like I'm actually touching the real thing. This is just so...
"I wouldn't do that." Sarah warned.
"Huh? Why not?" I asked.
Apparently...the moment I did asked that...the answer was quite obvious.
CHOMP!
"OW!" Ow ow ow! That really hurt! Apparently, Blitz munched onto my nose, biting real hard on it.
"Blitz loves to munch on anything he can get his teeth on." Sarah giggled, smiling at my misfortune.
Oh right...I remembered back on the anime that Blitz really loved to do that to me.
"Heh, sucks to be you." Rantaro snorted, putting his hands on his pockets.
"Y-Yeah...Heh heh...I honestly can't believe I'm actually touching a creature that you would see in an old anime." I smiled softly before managing to get Blitz off my nose. "Huh...I guess there's a lot about Equestria than you would expect."
"Indeed there is." Sarah agreed.
"Yeah...but the main mystery is how we got here...and why we were in those pods...?" Ren muttered.
"You'll find the answer to what you seek...in time." Huh? What?
"What do you mean?" Nicole questioned suspiciously, narrowing her eyes at Sarah.
"The answers you seek will be revealed one at a time and once they are all discovered, the answer will be clear." Sarah added.
"I see..." I nodded.
"But..." Huh? I noticed a small frown on her face. "It's best if you all don't find out soon enough...because...the truth...it could be painful..."
"What?" Skye asked, placing her hands on her hips. "What'cha talking about?"
"Sometimes, the truth can be painful once it is revealed and how you deal with it will be vital." Sarah repeated.
"Huh?" I muttered in confusion, wondering what she meant by that.
"Do you...know something kid?" Jack asked.
"I know many things." Sarah said. "But all that will not be revealed right now."
"What do you mean?" Mason asked in confusion. "I'm quite confuse on what do you mean by that statement."
“I mean you will find the answers but you will need time to put the pieces together to figure of what and why this happened to you all.” Sarah explained.
"Why the hell won't you frigging tell us?!" Jack exclaimed.
"If you do know, won't you tell us?!" Kaede asked, feeling alarmed.
“It will be better if you discover them on your own.” Sarah stated to us, upsetting a few of us. Wait, if she knows about our pasts, why can't she even tell us?! I mean...!
"But why not?" Kodi whined. "Don't you think you should tell us?" Kodi whined.
"...." Sarah doesn't respond before looking away, frowning. Huh? Is something up with you?
"...Just leave her alone you guys." Nicole sighed. "She won't tell us, even if she wanted to...But it's not that she's refusing to, it's almost as if...you're too afraid."
Sarah frowns and looks away for a while before sighing "You know...maybe I do..."
"Huh? What do you mean?" I asked in confusion.
"I mean I may hold some answers but I don't hold all the answers you seek." Sarah stated. "Now which one of you is gonna show me and my friends to our new room?"
O-Oh right...We're already in front of the home-ship.
We entered the place and showed her around the living room, seeing it as our main hub of this place.
"It's really comfty around here!" Kodi smiled, running over and jumping on the couch, resting his head on it along with the rest of the chibi dinosaurs and the white tiger of hers.
"Yeah, but are you sure you can sleep here?" Kaede asked. "I mean, we can share our rooms with you..."
"You can share with me and big brother!" Carrie smiled.
"What?! But it's a bunk bed!" Skye cried out. "No use soldier, you can always sleep on the ground!"
"Oh wow, nice suggestion." Rantaro rolled his eyes. "And next, you're gonna tell her to eat garbage out of a garbage can."
"Yeah-Hey wait!" Skye gritted her teeth at the broker. "You take that back!"
"Heh, no." Rantaro scoffed.
"Grr!" Skye gritted her teeth, feeling outrage.
"Guys, calm down." I sighed, trying to make them stop fighting. "So anyway, Sarah...sorry if this isn't much, I mean...maybe you can sleep on the couch? I mean, till we find a suitable place for you to sleep."
"Why not my place?" Jack offered.
"Jack, I have seen your room and it's horrible." Mason said bluntly. "So no, I don't think Sarah would bother sleeping in there."
"Shut up!" Jack hissed.
Suddenly, before those two could argue more, Blitz started running ahead of us.
"Blitz, where are you going?" I called, following after him with the others catching wind of us before following us straight towards the elevator. It seemed to have opened for the chibi dinosaur. We all looked at each other and decided to see what's gotten the little dinosaur so worked up...
The moment we all entered, I noticed something different on the controls.
A new button. Wait, where did this come from?
"Um, was that button always there?" Skye asked. "I mean, I know that this is my first time seeing this, but..."
"Well...only one way to find out." I shrugged before pressing it, and it took us down two levels, but not that far down to the pool area. Eventually, it stopped, and slowly opened up, revealing a new room to us.
"What the?" Kodi gaped, seeing the new room right in front of our eyes.
Holy cow...this room is almost like a mansion in here. Almost as good as Jamie's.
Right in front of us was a large bed with four poles on the ends and covered with some bedding. There was a large TV in front of the bed and a dresser to the side of the bed. There was a carpet with the picture of a leopard on it. The walls had the colors of the Elements of Harmony with the picture of an Alicorn in the center of it. There was a large window that allowed us to see the forest around us. Also, there was another door that led to some kind of training area. It had targets, punching dummies, obstacles courses and other things like that and another door that led to the bathroom for her room.
"Woah..." We all gasped, excluding Nicole and Rantaro, who stood there in shock.
"Amazing." Mason blinked.
"Dang, newbie got that rich kids' room." Jack gasped.
"What? But...that's impossible...how did any of this came?" I wondered.
"Yeah, and I thought new rooms were unlocked when one of you guys woken up?" Kodi wondered.
"Yeah, same here." Jamie nodded. "It was also a working theory I had..." Jamie frowned before turning to Sarah. "Wait, Sarah...did you do this?"
"No, I did not." Sarah replied, shaking her head. Her chibi dinosaurs ran around the room, bouncing all around happily. Snowflake went over to the bed and sniffed it.
"Well...at least she has her own room." I sweat-dropped, blinking in shock at the new room.
"...Something isn't right..." Nicole muttered.
You tell me...
"What do you mean?" Sarah turned to Nicole, confused by what she said.
"This mysterious room appeared of nowhere...and it opens up a new room if one of us is awaken, but when you showed up, this whole place mysterious appeared out of nowhere...it's confusing to know that it would appear and it would be conveniently a place where you can sleep." Nicole explained.
"Yes...it is." Jamie nodded in agreement, seeing Nicole's logic.
"It is?" Kodi barked in confusion.
"Well...I guess it would make sense." I couldn't help but agreed there. "But even so, it's best not to think too much about it. After all, she is a guest here..."
"Yeah, but isn't there any houses over by the blocks? Newbie can get one there." Jack huffed.
"Newbie? Why you calling her that?" Rantaro asked suspiciously. "You're saying as if she's joined the team."
"I don't mind being called that." Sarah reassured. Blitz came over and pawed at my leg.
"What do you want, little guy?" I bend down and asked him gently.
Blitz chirped happily at me as Sarah giggled, "He wants to play."
"Play?" I looked at her in confusion before seeing the smile on her muzzle while Blitz blinked at me.
"Well...I guess Kodi can play with him." I shrugged.
"Yeah!" Kodi cheered before barking at Blitz. "Come on Blitz! Let's go!"
Blitz chirped and the two chased each other happily around the room.
"And if you guys want me to be a part of the team, it's your choice." Sarah shrugged.
We all looked at each other, wondering about that offer.
"What do you guys think?" I asked them.
"Well...she might be able to help us uncover more clues about our missing memories." Jamie hummed at that idea.
"And she is really strong with her magic." Kaede added.
"Eh, newbie's got guys, I like it." Jack smirked.
"...Sure why not." Nicole shrugged.
"Meh, I don't care." Rantaro rolled his eyes.
"Okay!" Carrie laughed. "She looks like a really nice person!"
"Very well, if you trust her, then so will I." Mason smiled softly.
"She'll make a fine comrade!" Skye crossed her arms. "I can smell victory on the horizon with her by our side."
I smiled at each of them before turning to Sarah and replied back, "Well then...I guess you're part of the team, Sarah."
Sarah gave us a small smile and said, "Glad to be a part."
"Yeah..." I nodded before walking around the room, and saw the TV. "But you know, it outrivals the rest of our rooms."
Suddenly, the TV began acting all strange and started all weird but it started to go all static...and the background changed to different numbering codes of 0's and 1's. Wait a minute...haven't I seen something like that before?
"...She....here....Welcome...you..." Soon, the static on the TV was gone and nothing appeared.
"Ah! What was that?!" Jamie screeched.
"I don't know..." Mason muttered, crossing his arms. "But that wasn't natural."
"Hmm...let me try." Sarah offered, walking over to the TV and lit her horn in a yellow magical aura. Her horn blasted an electrical bolt at the TV.
Whoa! Talk about overkill...
Unfortunately, it didn't seem to work.
"Nothing happened..." Carrie frowned.
"Dang it, it didn't work!" Skye groaned. "What the heck?!"
"Hmmm...Odd." Sarah frowned before she checked the cables, but saw they were all correctly placed. So why did the TV cut off like that?
"...I felt like I saw that happened before..." I muttered, scratching my chin in thought. "Well...I guess that's alright then...Whatever it was, I guess we'll figure it out later."
"So what do we do now?" Carrie asked.
"Well it's about time for dinner." Mason offered. "I'm planning on making some really good dishes after the day we went through..."
"Heheheh! Sweet!" Jack patted his gut before dashing out of the room, eager to get some food. Mason stood there, sighing and shaking his friend at his friend's nonsense before the rest of us began walking out.
"Come on Sarah, you and your friends can join us." Kaede offered.
"Thanks. I'm kinda hungry myself." Sarah smiled. "Blitz, Snowflake, everyone, come on." She called out to her chibi dinosaurs and white tiger, which they obliged and followed her out of her room as we took the elevator back to the living room where Mason began cooking our dinner for us.
You know, today's been a weird day, and I mean it in a good way. We met a new friend who has the power to actually bring dinosaurs to life, and possibly any anime in existence that I've ever watched! Just who is this unicorn?!
Later
"Man...this taste really nice."
"Yeah, it's really sweet, isn't it?" I chuckled, giving my new friend a soft smile. We all were in the dining room table, eating much food that Mason cooked up.
Sarah giggled at the delicious food, enjoying every bit before noticing Blitz on the table and sniffing her dinner.
"Blitz, you can't have that." Sarah cooed before she grabbed Blitz with her magic and placed him on the floor. Sarah then poofed up some grass and some meat for her chibi dinosaurs while Snowflake enjoyed eating her steak and Kodiak was eating his doggy kibble. Oh boy, glad that Twilight and the others aren't here to see this. You know how they are when seeing a piece of meat.
"Whoa...they all look really adorable..." Carrie cooed happily at the sight of them.
"Whoa...I-I'll admit, they're really cute..." Skye cleared her throat, blushing a bit.
"Yeah..." Kaede smiled happily before staring down at the creatures. "Hmm...Dinosaurs...You know, I can't help but feel like I've seen them other than that show Ren mentioned, but I just can't seem to remember..."
"None of us do." Rantaro scoffed while Nicole looked over at Sarah and her white tiger and her chibi dinosaurs.
Blossom walked over to Nicole and nuzzled her leg, easing her tension as she gave the little chibi dinosaur a small smile. Aww, I never seen that side of Nicole...Heh, I guess she's slowly breaking out of her shell.
Soon, I noticed Blitz walking over to Jack, who stared at him.
"What do you want, shrimp?" Jack asked grumpily, only to get his question answered by the small chibi dinosaur biting on his leg. "OW!"
He fell out of his chair and tried to pry Blitz off but the chibi dinosaur had a tight grip.
"Get off of me, you brat!" He cried out but Blitz kept munching on his leg so much. Heh heh, keep munching on him like that and you might become Pac-man than a dinosaur.
"HAHAHAHAHA!" Carrie, Kaede, and Skye began laughing at his unfortunate sight while Sarah gave an eye-roll and a small smile.
"Um, tell me that he doesn't do that much, right?" I asked the unicorn with a raised brow.
"It's a small habit of his." Sarah grinned. "But it's good to get a laugh at."
"To me, it doesn't!" Jack yelled out in frustration, shaking his leg around to get the chibi dinosaur off his leg.
Sarah got up from her seat and Blitz looked at her and blinked, "Blitz, come on, let's go of his leg." She cooed. Blitz chirped and let go of Jack's leg and walked over to Sarah. "Good boy."
Jack growled at Blitz and grumbled, "Tiny brat."
"Now now Jack, he's just a baby." Rantaro joked.
"Hmph!" Jack huffed, looking away.
Blitz noticed this before walking over and licking his cheek, almost like an apology.
"Huh?" Jack stared at the small chibi dinosaur in surprise, earning a smile on my face.
"Hehe, looks like Blitz is saying 'I'm sorry' with his licks." I chuckled.
"Rarr." Blitz said softly and stared at Jack, giving him a cute look.
"Heh..." Jack picked up the chibi dinosaur. "Alright little fella, we're cool." Blitz licked his face, making him blush a bit. "Hey, stop that!"
Blitz chirped again, smiling in joy.
"Mm..." I softly smiled, seeing them get along like that. I mean, Sarah is really somepony that you can enjoy...I mean, she always been able to become such a good friend with us.
Wait...why would I say that? Ugh...
"That's why...I promise to be there...I love you guys...and please be safe when the time comes..."
Huh? What the? Was that...?
"Um, Sarah? Did you...say something?" I asked in confusion.
"No, I didn't say anything." Sarah stated, shaking her head.
"Huh?" I blinked before frowning, "But...I heard your..."
This doesn't make any sense? I swear that was her voice...She really does have some relation to our past? Is that why she came? I...I think I should stop thinking like this. Repeating myself won't give me any answer...it's best that we wait and see...as my dad would put it.
Later
"Oooh..."
"Aaah..."
After we finished up dinner, we all headed outside and met up with the rest of the Mane Six and Spike, seeing fireworks being displayed outside before noticing Princess Celestia with the Saddle Arabia delegates, who apparently look slightly different than seeing the ponies here. They looked almost like actual horses than ponies.
"Whoa...Look at them all!" Carrie complimented.
"They're so beautiful..." Skye said in awe before making a salute. "Mission accomplished as they say!"
"Nice fireworks, you guys." I complimented.
"It wasn't us Ren." Fluttershy shook her head. Huh? That's weird, then who?
"It was me..." We all turned over and saw a familiar light blue unicorn with her wizard hat and cloak.
"Trixie?!" We all exclaimed in shock.
"I just...came here to apologize for my actions." Trixie said with remorse in her tone. "It's the least I could do. I treated you all so horrible when I was wearing that Alicorn Amulet. I just couldn't control myself. You can forgive me, can't you?"
"Hmmm..." Twilight and I looked at each other before smiling and replied, "Sure."
"Oh, good." Trixie smiled. "Don't you think the Great and Apologetic Trixie is the most magnificent humble pony you've ever seen?!"
"Hmm...Well while we have met for the first time and while it wasn't a good meeting, it's an honor to meet you." Mason smiled softly. "I just hope you learned a good lesson."
"I have, fre-I-I mean...um, Mason Hunter." Trixie took off her hat and bowed a bit, being polite to him.
"Trixie." Sarah spoken, giving her a soft smile. "Your actions were not your own, Trixie. You were under the influence of the Alicorn Amulet. You have nothing to apologize for." She then reached a hoof out to Trixie and said, "But let this be a night for a new friendship?"
Trixie looked at Sarah's sincere smile and she smiled back and they both shook hooves.
"Thank you." Trixie said. Sarah nodded before we watched Trixie take her leave, but not till she gave out one more blast to the sky, creating a final firework performance for us all, and best part, it had me and Twilight's face on it.
"Take care...Trixie." I smiled softly.
"You too...Ren Loodan." Trixie smiled. "And you as well, Twilight Sparkle."
With that, Trixie walks out of there while we watched her go off.
"You guys are just gonna forgive her like that? Even you newbie?" Jack asked, acting surprised by what happened.
"Yes I am." Sarah nodded.
"Why?" Mason questioned.
"Like I said before that her actions were not her own. One cannot be blamed for intentions that were not in their own reason." Sarah explained.
"Yeah...that is true." I nodded in agreement. "I mean, I didn't like her attitude of how she treated me and my friends back then, but still, I know she's just...lost. Though, about that Alicorn Amulet...What are we gonna do with it?"
"One thing..." Sarah took out the Alicorn Amulet before dropping it on the floor and blasted it with her magic, destroying it for good.
"What?! You...destroyed it?!" Twilight exclaimed.
"But...it was encased with dark magic, it couldn't be unable to break in one shot!" Jamie added, expressing his shock as well.
"My magic is more unique than other unicorns." Sarah smirked. "Even though the Amulet has powerful dark magic, the light will always surpass the darkness."
"Light surpasses the darkness..." I muttered, crossing my arms at it.
Sarah nodded, hearing what I said. "Darkness can come in many form but so does light and no matter how strong darkness may seem, light will always triumph over it. No matter the odds."
"Huh..." I smiled softly, nodding in agreement.
Blitz and the other dinosaurs chirped happily at the display while Snowflake watched with joy in her eyes. We continued to watch the fireworks in awe before I took noticed of the chibi dinosaurs began fading away into light as Sarah's amulet started shining before it stopped glowing.
Whoa...just what kind of amulet is that? Maybe Twilight and Jamie might find out much about in their books?
"You know...I feel like I'm forgetting something." Skye frowned. "Does anyone have this sense that we forgotten something very important?"
"Mm...Yeah..." I muttered, scratching my chin. What did we forget?
"Mm! Mm! Mm!" Huh? Oh it's just Pinkie Pie.......Oh crap! Pinkie Pie!
We all turned to the pink pony party planner, who was giving us angry muffled yells.
"Pinkie Pie!" Twilight widened her eyes. "Oh no! I forgot about you!"
"Please, allow me." Sarah smiled softly before her horn glowed, shooting some small sparkles of light around Pinkie before her mouth returned back.
"Phew! Oh my goodness! You have no clue how long I've been waiting to speak at all! I barely had any lines in this chapter!" Pinkie complained, pouting at us.
"Sorry about that Pinkie Pie." I sweat-dropped with a nervous grin. "I hope you can forgive us..."
"Nah, it's okay!" Oh, well that was easy. "In fact, during the duration of this chapter, I wrote down an entire list of what I wanted to say...!"
Pinkie takes out a piece of paper and unveils it, revealing to be a long list as Pinkie began reading them over.
"And I thought our lists were longer..." Jamie sweat-dropped.
"Apparently not..." Twilight sighed. "But still, I kinda still feel bad for not doing anything to stop Trixie."
"Yeah, same." I sighed.
"Don't say that." Sarah smiled at the two of us. "You two learned a lot through that. Ren, you sacrificed your win onto saving your friends which showed how much you cared for them. Friendship is way more important than victory. And Twilight, you tried changing Trixie's mind and showed her that magic powers alone wasn't powerful enough to take on the Alicorn Amulet head to head, so you tried using the one magic in you when trying to protect your friends - the Magic of Friendship. I say that you two learned something from this experience."
Yeah, I guess she's right...I mean, we may not have beaten Trixie and Sarah did all the work for us. I say that we did learned something...but I hope this experience has taught me to get better when saving and protecting my friends. After all, they are important to me, like family and I'm sure they think of that as well.
Meanwhile, outside Ponyville...
In the distance far from the town, Void was watching or more specifically, he was watching Sarah and Snowflake.
"So...She's here as well. That little sunshine pest. She will not stop me from bringing forth the Great Fall to this world." Void muttered before staring at the night sky, raising his arms before clenching his fist at the shining moon.
"Pitiful Sarah...I bet you can't wait to tell them...how you did this...all...and the Great Fall will be the day...where the inhabitants of this world...will accept their deaths."
Void disappears in the darkness, vanishing for good as he plans to one day confront Sarah for good.
