//------------------------------// // Chapter 9 // Story: Lighting Heaven Reincarnated // by A random pony oc //------------------------------// "Come one and all, come see the Great and Powerful Trixie! Watch in awe as I preform the most amazing magic you will ever see!" Trixie said. Snips and Snails were buying the act, while the rest of the crowd were just plain confused and angry, like... "How dare you say your, your deception!" Rarity said. She was fuming at Trixie, as she should be. I only liked Trixie later in the series, and I mean WAY back into the series. "Come on, no one is as powerful as Lig- Ligh-, oh uh- Hey Rarity, Oh my mustache!" Spike ran away from Rarity, who was looking dumbfound at Spike stuttering. "Who dares to challenge me, but at last, no one can beat me, you'll just embarrass yourself in the process of facing me!" "Now hold on a second! You can't just go around saying that stuff, especially me being the one to show off!" Rainbow Dash said. She immediately shoot towards the sky, colliding with clouds, and collecting their raindrops. She twirled around the sun once, spun around the windmill near by, and landed on stage, with a rainbow following her, showing above on her head. "That's why they call me, 'Rainbow Dash'!" She said. The crowd cheered to the stunt as Trixie scoffed. "When Trixie is through, the only thing they'll be calling you is 'loser'." Suddenly, the rainbow that was above Rainbow Dash's head was encasing her, making her spin around and making her look like a clown. The crowd filled with giggles and laughter, as Rainbow flopped down from the stage and crash landed on me. Ow. "Now that's just it Trixie, you gone on far enough. If your so grand and all, why didn't you enroll in Celestia's gifted school? We don't need you to show off around these parts, maybe when you save the world then we'll praise you. And for the 'usra major', you can't just tell us, you got to show it! Action speak better than words!" I said as I threw Rainbow Dash off of me. I had enough. "So you little foal, you want to challenge me?" Trixie said, completely ignoring my question. Rude, but yes. "If that be teaching you your lesson, so be it!" The crowd was muttering and rumoring, 'how can a simple foal beat a fully grown mare?'. I rather not do this, especially on an empty stomach, but if I just let this moment slip by, I be kicking myself. Besides, against an show off does seem like a cool battle theme... Twilight and Spike were cheering for me, as the rest were watching closely as the battle started. FIGHT! Trixie threw a smoke ball, blinding me and the crowd, luckily, I covered my eyes with very poorly but effective magic-made goggles so the fight continued. Trixie started to shoot random projectiles at me at all angles, as I swiftly dodged. "Look at you, fighting a child with dirty tricks, be fair Trixie! Boo!" a random civilian said as other agreed. Soon the whole crowd as booing for Trixie, as they started to leaving one by one. Why would they pay to watch this filthy pony do boring tricks, much less watch them bully me? The fog cleared as I dispelled my goggles. Sorry Trixie, sacrifices will be made. "Wait, The great and humble Trixie apologize!" Trixie said desperately as even Spike and Twilight left. All the other ponies were asking for refunds. She gave them the bits, then looked at me. "Now look at what you done! I lost today's bits because of you. You better watch out, I will be back!" she said, kicking me out of the stage and going back to her wagon. I didn't want to do anything really, so I went back inside the library where Twilight and Spike were setting the table for lunch. The rest of the day went by in a flash, until I remember something. There was still one more thing I have to take care of. Trixie could actually hurt me if I don't take out the variable. The alicorn amulet. I quickly rose up from my bed and creeped by Twilight and Spike, who were sleeping on the floor. Apparently they don't consider themselves worthy of using even Spike's bed. I opened the door and rushed into the night. I went down the streets, trying to find somewhere where the store might be until I bumped into Trixie wagon. Saying that it wouldn't hurt to take a peek, I looked through the tiny window as the side. Then I frowned. "This amulet was worth almost of Trixie money. That filly brat won't know what hits her. Soon I will be actually be the Greatest and Powerful pony in the world!" she said. She laughed till the end of time, coughing every few moments. Trixie had her weapon, the trap was set, all she needed to do was to make a fool out of me. Little did she knew, I had already won. Her laugh was shortly cut off as her pupils turned white and she dropped the amulet. Foam was forming on the side of her mouth. I walked through the door, taking the amulet from the ground and putting it on. I decided to take Trixie wagon near Twilight's library so I made Trixie push it there. When we were there. I wobbled on the stairs and headed to my room with Trixie still in her wagon, sleeping never to wake up again. Hopefully the butterfly effect won't hit me!
