Back at Twilight’s house, Twilight just finished cleaning up.
“Well, I didn’t find my book. But at least now this place doesn’t look like a tornado hit it!” Twilight exclaims.
Christian shows up at the door. Twilight quickly opens it to let him in. She just put her door back on its hinges and she doesn’t want him kicking it down again.
“Hey Twitlight, What’s up?” He exclaims as he enters.
“Can you stop calling me that?” Twilight says. Ever since he started coming here, he’s been calling her that same name. And lately, it has been getting on her nerves.
“Why? It fits you so well!” Christian responds happily.
“Why are you here anyway? Did you find my book?” Twilight asks as she rearranges her books on one of her bookshelves.
“Uhh, no. Trixie was spotted in town. Ya know, that blue unicorn who hates you for whatever reason.” Christian answers.
Twilight’s eyes grow big and she drops the books she was holding.
“Trixie is here?! Oh no…” Twilight starts to become worried. Who knows what she has planned? “Was she up to anything suspicious?” Twilight asks.
“Umm, I can’t remember. I think I hit my head on a branch of the bush I found her in.” Christian says, trying to think. His memory was still fuzzy.
“Where are the others?”
“They’re informing The Princesses about it right now.”
Twilight turns to pick up the books she dropped. “Good, but we better be on guard. Trixie may not have powerful magic…”
The moment Twilight said the word “magic”; a weird expression came over Christian. His face became a blank stare, and then, turned devious. He gained a evil, crooked smile as he glared at Twilight once more. Twilight did not notice this as she was putting away her books.
Twilight continues. “But she may have some tricks up her sleeve!”
“Indeed Twilight, we must stay alert.” Christian answers in his hypnotized and bland tone. “Umm, Twilight, did you check underneath your bed for your hypnosis book?” He asks.
“I think so. Why?” Twilight asked curiously.
“I think I see your book underneath your bed.” Christian answers plainly.
“Are you sure? I’m positive I checked there at least three times.” Twilight says as she looks under her bed yet again. She crawls underneath and peers around “I don’t see it!’ She yells, looking back and forth under her bed carefully.
“Check over on the left side.” Christian says as he aims his crossbow at Twilight, using her cutie mark as a target.
“I still don’t see…AHH!” Twilight quickly scrambles out from underneath her bed to see a dart in her side. She looks up at the human's evil grin “Uhh…Wha?” Twilight mutters before she passes out from the tranquilizer, landing with a thud on the wooden floor.
Christian walks over to the unconscious Twilight and grins. He rubs his hands together manically as he snickers. “Perfect! Now all I need to do is sneak Twilight to Ms. Trixie without anyone knowing.” He thinks for a minute. “Ah ha! I still have the sack I used to transport the plastic to Ms. Trixie! I can use that to hide Twilight!” He takes out the burlap sack and puts the unconscious Twilight in it.“Good thing I used a one-hour dart on Twilight, it should keep her contained long enough.” He picks up the sack and leaves Twilight’s house as quickly as he can.
Meanwhile, back at the castle. The remaining five are telling Celestia what happened.
“And that’s why we’re here.” Applejack said, finishing the story.
“I see." Celestia gets up from her throne and starts pacing. "Do you five know where Trixie is now?” Celestia asks with a bit of nervousness.
“No, she ran off like a little filly after Christian scared her!” Dash says, laughing about the whole ordeal. To her, Trixie was nothing but a wimp unless she had some sort of magic booster like the amulet.
“Where is Christian by the way?” Celestia asks with a hint of concern.
“He went to Twilight’s to warn her about Trixie.” Rarity answers.
“That was good thinking. Trixie will most likely target her.” Celestia says.
At that moment, Christian appears right outside the castle, carrying a large burlap sack, running as fast as he can.
“Hey! There’s Christian now!” Pinkie yells.
“Why is he carrying that sack?” Dash asks.
“Hey! Christian!” AJ yells.
Christian stops as the five run over to him to see what’s up. Unbeknownst to them, Christian is now re-hypnotized.
“Oh, hello girls.” He greets them in a plain manner, nothing like he normally does, which is normally darts and laughing a lot.
“Hey Christian! What’s with the sack?” Pinkie asked in a curious manner as she pokes the sack.
Christian quickly pulls it away as he thinks for a buyable alibi. “Oh, Twilight asked me to donate some of her books to the school.” He says nervously, hoping the ponies would buy the lie.
“Oh, ok." Dash answers with a little bit of distrust in her voice. "Speaking of which, where’s Twilight” She asks suspiciously, eyeing the blank human for an answer.
“Uhh, Twilight left town” Christian says, once again nervous in his lying response.
“Why in Equestria would she leave and not tell us!?” Rarity screams as she gets up in Christian’s face for an answer.
“She didn’t want to make you girls to get on Trixie's radar.” Christian responds simply. Yet it seems he stuttered near the end of his sentence, almost saying "Ms. Trixie".
“Well, where did she go?” Fluttershy asks kindly.
“She didn't tell me." Christian answers before quickly changing the subject. "Well, I’m going to donate these books, see you girls later!” He runs off in a hurry in the opposite direction.
The five return to Celestia, confused by their friend's odd behavior toward them. As they approach Celestia, She has a curious look on her face as she sees Christian dash away.
“Well, that was rather odd.” Rarity states, Confused about why he acted so out of character.
“Yea, Christian wasn’t like himself at all.” Dash says. "His normal "Shot anything that moves" mentality wasn't there.
“Because he was hypnotized.” Celestia says sternly.
“What? How is he hypnotized?” Pinkie asks. “I mean sure, he acts differently once, but that doesn’t mean he’s a mindless zombie!”
“When you were talking to him, I felt a strange aura of magic around his body.” Celestia states.
“So?” Dash says.
“This specific type of aura is only around ponies or, in this case humans, that are hypnotized” Celestia answers.
“That would explain why he didn’t call us names or tranquilize us.” AJ says.
“I want you girls to follow Christian to see where he goes. Trixie may be behind his hypnosis.” Celestia says.
“Yes Princess Celestia!” The ponies quickly rush out of the castle and follow Christian’s footprints to where he was going.
Luna comes downstairs to see what was going on.
“What happened? Where are the five going?” Luna asks.
“They went to go follow Christian.” Celestia answers.
“Why?”
“Trixie may be up to something.”
Meanwhile at a far off cave near the edge of town, Christian appears at the entrance, which has a blue, wooden door with a slot near the top. He knocks on the door. After a few moments, a pair of eyes looks through the slot.
“Ahh Christian! You made it!” Trixie says with glee as she unlocks the door.
“Of course, Ms. Trixie.” Christian says as he enters the cave.
“Shut the door behind you. We don’t need any intruders now do we?” Trixie says with a smirk.
“Of course not Ms. Trixie.” Christian says as he shuts the door quietly. He then proceeds to follow his unicorn leader to the main part of the cave. The main chamber itself was big and spacious, with a throne made of rocks in the center. On each sides of the cave were candles to keep the cave lit. Along the sides, it branched off into several other corridors which followed into smaller rooms .
“I guess all that rock mining was good for something after all!” Trixie says. “Is Twilight in the sack?” she asks as she sits down in her uncomfortable rock throne.
“Yes, Ms. Trixie.”
“Good. Set it down over there.” Trixie demands, pointing over to the center of the cave.
“Yes, Ms. Trixie.”
Christian puts down the sack in the middle of the cave where Trixie asked. A few moments after he puts the sack down, it starts to move and shake wildly. After a moment, a confused Twilight pokes her head out of her burlap prison.
“Huh? What? Where am I?” Twilight asks as she shakes off the sack.
“Hello, Twilight Sparkle!” Trixie says from the other side of the cave.
Twilight looks over to see Trixie in her rock throne, with a huge smile on her face.
“TRIXIE! I should have known! What are you planning this time?! Twilight yells at her rival.
“My ultimate revenge against you and all of Equestria!” Trixie retaliates to her enemy.
Twilight laughs at this threat. Not this whole revenge thing again! Twilight thought “HA! That’s a good one Trixie! Do you still think you can take me on?”
“I don’t know, what do you think assistant?” Trixie says as she turns to see her assistant emerge from the darkness.
“I think she’s no challenge for you, Ms. Trixie.” Christian says, as if mocking the lavender unicorn.
Twilight becomes stunned and perplexed by his reactions. “Ms. Trixie?! Christian! What are you doing?!”
“He's being the best assistant I have ever had!” Trixie states.
Twilight processes Trixie's words. she quickly realizes why Christian is acting like this and following Trixie. “You found my hypnosis spell book, didn't you Trixie?” Twilight asks.
“Yes Twilight, and the spell works quite well as you can see.” Trixie turns toward her assistant, who in return smiles back.
Twilight grits her teeth in anger. “Let him go Trixie!” She shouts
Trixie becomes infuriated. “No, I think I won’t!” Trixie yells this and while doing so, stomps her hoof involuntarily. All of a sudden, Christian's evil smile diminishes before the unicorns. The human starts shaking his head as he regains his thoughts
“Uhh. What happened?” Christian asks as he peers around the cave. "How did we get in a cave? And why is Trixie here? What's going on?"
Twilight notices this and snaps into action. She starts yelling commands and answers like crazy. “Christian! Trixie hypnotized you! Quick! Get her!”
“Uh oh.” Trixie gulps.
Christian looks over to the blue unicorn and dashes forward, putting a dart in his crossbow. Trixie makes no attempt to step out of the way or block. Christian aims down his sights and prepares to pull the trigger. "Any last words before you're tranqued?"
Trixie sneers at the oncoming human. “Yes actually. Magic.”
"Magic? What kind of a stupid last word is..." A look of alertness washes over the human's face. Christian suddenly comes to halt, a few feet in front of his light blue target. He lowers his crossbow as he slowly approaches Trixie. “Did you need something Ms. Trixie?” The re-hypnotized human says.
Twilight processes this little show. “So, if you stomp you hoof, Christian becomes un-hypnotized. But if you say the word “Magic”, he becomes re-hypnotized?” She asks as if she had no idea what just happened.
“Yes Twilight.” Trixie says. “Why are you asking?”
Twilight couldn’t believe Trixie was this stupid! “Just clarifying.” She says with a grin. Twilight immediately goes into a stomping fit with her forehoof. “Now Christian! Get Trixie!” Twilight yells to her frenemy. The human just gives her a blank stare. Why was this lavender unicorn ordering him around?
“Why would I do that?” He asks, confused.
“Wait, what?” Twilight becomes puzzled by Christian’s reaction.
“I’m no idiot Twilight. I made the spell only wear off when I stomp my hoof.” Trixie states. Snickering at her rival’s failure.
Twilight looks down in defeat. “For once Trixie, that was pretty clever.” She confesses, admitting her rival’s cleverness with the spell usage.
“Thanks! I appreciate the compliments from the lesser unicorn!” Trixie says with a sneer.
Twilight quickly looks up at her rival with pure anger. “In your dreams!”
Trixie puts up one of her forehooves. “Before this bickering continues, Christian, go do some errands for me.”
“As you wish, Ms. Trixie” Christian leaves behind Trixie down one of the many rocky corridors.
“Trixie c’mon, this is insane! Just unhypnotize Christian and let us leave and we’ll forgot this whole thing ever happened. What do you say?” Twilight asks, hoping to come to a peaceful truce with her enemy. Twilight really didn't want Trixie to embarrass herself again.
“How about I capture you, your friends, and Celestia and Luna, and then finally take my place as ruler of Equestria!” Trixie says, with a boom in her voice.
“Capture me? HA! Trixie, I’m going to give you one last chance to back down!” Twilight says, getting in a fighting stance.
“Not this time Twilight! This time I will win!” Trixie says, staying in her throne, not moving an inch to get ready to duel.
Twilight growls in anger. “If you won’t stop this madness Trixie, I’ll force you to!” Twilight positions her forehooves to start advancing toward her adversary.
“Bring it on Twilight, if you can!” Trixie responds in a snotty tone.
Twilight becomes filled with anger at Trixie. She rushes her as fast as she can. Trixie doesn’t move, as if she wants Twilight to charge at her. Trixie turns her head to the left and nods. A second later, a rumbling is heard. Twilight stops and listens for the sound and looks up. A cage comes crashing down on top of the lavender unicorn, trapping her.
“Gotcha!” Christian shouts from behind Trixie’s throne as he lets go of a chain that was concealed in the darkness.
“What in Equestria?!” Twilight yells as she comprehends her situation.
“That was easy!” Trixie shouts in glee.
Twilight smirks at the comment. “You think a simple cage can hold me? I can easily get out of this!” Twilight begins to charge a teleportation spell.
“For now.” Trixie flips one of the armrests on her rocky throne to revel a switch. Trixie flips the switch and in an instant, the top section of the cage opens. Chains drop down and fasten Twilight’s hooves. A covering is also put on her horn.
Twilight looks at the chains. “So what? Chains and a covering on my horn, that’s it?” Twilight chuckles at this. “This is the best she’s got?” Twilight says to herself.
“That’s what you think.” Trixie says with a sneer.
Twilight sneers back and charges her spell yet again. But for some reason, she can’t charge a spell. Twilight tries as hard as she can, but she can’t even manage a spark. “Huh? Why…can’t I…charge…a spell?!” She says while breathing heavily.
“Foolish Twilight! Don’t you remember when Christian was getting help from his government during The Chrysalis Incident? The sunglasses the agents had on contained a substance that made Chrysalis's mind wipe spell inert.
“So?” Twilight asks impatiently, wondering when Trixie will make her point.
“Well, I did a little research and found out that the substance is called “Plastic”. A substance that is insanely common on Earth. And that’s what’s around your horn.” Trixie states. "Apparently, it makes ALL magic inert!"
“But, where did you get the plastic? There’s no way you could have gotten to Earth without us or the U.S. government knowing!” Twilight booms.
“Who do you think gave me the plastic?” Trixie says as she points to Christian, who then waves at the trapped unicorn.
“Oh no.” Twilight becomes overcome with fear. Trixie as pinned her in a corner with no way out.
“Face it Twilight, you’re trapped. Surrender and become my servant or else!” Trixie yells at her captive.
“Or else what?!” Twilight yells back, knowing that Trixie was probably bluffing. She knew Trixie wasn't the toughest unicorn in Equestria.
“My assistant here will make you surrender.” Trixie says, eyeing the human. Christian loads his crossbow, eyeing Twilight with an evil grin.
Twilight thinks about her options. If Christian didn’t like her un-hypnotized, who knows what he'll do to her now? “If I can hold out for just a little bit, the others will find me, make Trixie un-hypnotize Christian, and save me!” Twilight says to herself.
“Well? I need an answer!” Trixie says impatiently.
Twilight sighs in defeat. “Alright Trixie you win. I surrender.”
Trixie squeals in glee. “Excellent!” Trixie flips the switch again, making the chains on the cage unhook from the top of the cage, leaving the covering on Twilight’s horn and the shackles on her hooves. The cage lifts up to its original spot. Trixie makes a whip hover toward her. “Now servant, GET OVER HERE! NOW!” Trixie’s voice booms at the last few words as she snaps the whip toward the chained Twilight.
Twilight squeals in fear. “GAH! Yes Trixie!”
Trixie becomes enraged by Twilight’s response. “NO! You are to address me by my proper title. The Great and Powerful Trixie!” Trixie yells at her captive as she snaps the whip again in Twilight’s direction.
Twilight jumps at the sound of the whip cracking. “GAH! Yes, Great and Powerful Trixie! Twilight yells as she dashes toward her rival.
"Now, kneel before me!" Trixie commands to to Twilight.
Twilight obeys and kneels before her captor. Looking up at her with anger. It was already enough that she was captured by Trixie. Now she was making her look like an idiot! Trixie looks down at the captive Twilight with an evil grin.
“I’ve always wanted to do this! Twilight, I want you to kiss my hooves. And for kicks, Christian’s feet!”
Twilight gets up and backs away in retaliation. “WHAT?! Heck no!” Twilight yells. “I may be chained and powerless, but I am not kissing your…”
“SILENCE!” Trixie snaps the whip twice, making Twilight go silent. “You are to do as I say servant! Now get over here!” Trixie yells as she snaps the whip yet again. The whip snaps so close to Twilight, she can feel the breeze from the snap. Twilight yelps at this and immediately runs back toward Trixie. As quickly as she can, Twilight kneels and starts kissing each of Trixie’s forehooves. She then moves on to Christian’s feet and repeats this pattern.
Twilight stops for a second to talk under her breath. “The girls better find me soon!” A crack of the whip is heard, making Twilight shutter and continue her kissing.
