//------------------------------// // Final battle // Story: Dragonball pony // by Thy Obsessive Freak //------------------------------// “I can feel two energies that are really huge. I can feel one that’s decent, three others that are holding onto a thread and...” Her face became horrified. “I’ve just felt this one rapidly decrease all of a sudden and I think it’s on the verge of dying! Owloysius! We have to hurry!” * Spike frantically hurried into the smouldering crate. Attempting to smile and all fours was Rainbow Dash. She was covered in burns and chars, her face gritting and body shaking. “Alright.. Spike?” asked Rainbow Dash, right before she collapsed. “Rainbow Dash!” yelled Spike rushing over. He got onto his knees beside her. “You shouldn’t have done that! You didn’t need to do that!” “Listen Spike.” Rainbow Dash breathed heavily. She grinned however under her teary eyes. “I’m sorry I brought you into this.” “No, Rainbow Dash, don’t be! I’m glad-.” “I said listen. Even though you might not think it, you made me proud to call you my pupil.” She cringed. “You also did things that no pony did. You made me feel a belonging in this world I never felt. It’s therefore that I’m also proud...” Her head relaxed and the tears started to roll down her face, she used the last of her strength to whisper. “My friend.” “Rainbow Dash!” * Fluttershy opened her eyes. She turned to Angel. “I’m so sorry Angel.” She gave the best smile she could.” But I guess this is goodbye.” She began to fade. Angel bounced around her waving his arms. “No, Angel. Just accept it please.” The bunny eventually stopped. He trembled as started to cry. “I’d like to let you know, before I do go, that you’ve been loyal and I’ve always noticed your hard work and I have been very grateful for all you done. You’re maybe the best bunny rabbit any pony could want as an assistant and as a good friend. Goodbye.” Angel reached for her, but she was gone. He became frantic, hopping around and looking all over, but then he gave up and just cried. * Spike cried over Rainbow Dash’s remains. Drops of tears pattered over the fallen Pegasus. “Oh, what a touching moment, are you just going to let this go on Snail?” asked Trixie. “Don’t worry, I’ll send the dragon in after her and...” “You big bully!” roared Spike. He rose up with his fists clenched, his eyes venomous. “Big bully that all you got to say to me?” laughed Snail. Spike paced forward and an aura built around him. It was so powerful that the ground underneath him cracked. Spike’s size begun to increase, becoming five times his height. “What the, that dragon’s starting to grow all of a sudden, but how?” questioned Trixie concerned. Her scouter activated and gave a result. “It’s almost three-thousand! Snail do something!” “I’ve got it! Come here you cry-baby dragon!” The dragon spewed fire against Snail. The unicorn used his arms to shield himself before he was engulfed. The flames raged to an immense size all around him. Spike had shown no remorse, he unleashed all his wracked and torn emotions onto Snail. But then, the flames stopped and Spike shrunk back down to his original height. The flame cleared, emerging was Snail, his front legs burnt. “You little punk, look what you did to my legs! You have any idea what I’m going to do to you!” Snail opened up his mouth and unleashed a blast at Spike. Something snatched Spike out of the way, causing the blast to pierce through a mountain and evaporate that instead. “What now!” Snail’s eyes followed where Spike went and saw he was being carried by an owl. “Owloysius!” cried Spike. “That means!” A clap of hooves hit the ground. Turning their heads, they saw Twilight. “I’m back everyone.” Owloysius dropped Spike. The baby dragon bounced back up and hugged Twilight crying. “It’s so good to see you again!” replied Spike. “It’s good to see you as well, but you look pretty beat up. Here take this.” A seed hovered over to Spike with a purple glow around it. “It’s a Zenzu apple seed, I promise, it’ll make you feel better.” The dragon took the apple seed and cautiously swallowed it. He felt his body instantly recover. “Wow.” Twilight levitated the last three of the seeds over to the others. Pinkie Pie and Rarity took theirs, while Applejack needed it to be slipped into her. All three were bright and awake again and getting back to their hooves. “Are they all returning to their feet?” Trixie was bewildered. “That can’t be! I smashed them real good! Honest!” The Earth ponies gathered around Twilight in joy to see her. Pinkie Pie was bouncing right up in front of her. “Your back! Your back! I’d knew you be Twilight! I knew you’d be!” “I’ll have to say I for one couldn’t be any more glad to see you,” said Rarity. “It’s good your here Twilight,” spoke Applejack softly. “Anyone want to tell me the play by play of what I’ve missed?” “It hasn’t been very good I’m afraid. We’ve tried everything just on that big brute over there. But I swear he’s not normal. Everything we give, he just shrugs off,” explained Rarity. “I see and where’s Big Mac? I thought your brother would be here, Applejack?” “He was,” noted Applejack with her head dwon. “But my brother sacrificed himself in an effort to stop that guy from hurting any pony else.” “I’m sorry to hear that, Applejack, I truly am.” She gave Applejack a brief, but sincere hug. “Take it Rainbow Dash was killed by that guy as well.” “Sort of.” Spike’s head was turned away. “The guy was trying to kill me, but Rainbow Dash got in the way.” Something started to build up around Twilight. An aura formed around her. Pieces of rocks lifted into the air. Everyone moved back feeling the intense power push them. When Twilight snapped out of it, she relaxed and everything went calm again. “Sorry you guys got a little carried away.” “My, you’ve a lot grown stronger,” gasped Rarity. “Yes it’s thanks to Ze-.” “Hey! Would you cut out the reunion, if you haven’t forgotten, I’m still here!” “Sorry, I’ll get right back to you in just a sec,” responded Twilight and turned back to the group. “Let me handle that big guy by myself.” “What!” yelped her friends. “Twilight no! This guy’s strong, really strong! You’ll get pummelled!” shouted Pinkie Pie. “She’s right, let us back you up,” said Applejack ready. “No. I want to test my power against this guy, see how strong I’ve truly become. So how about this, you guys stay back, if it looks like I’m in trouble, come in and bail me out. But for now, just let me handle this one alone.” “Very well Twilight, but I’m afraid you might be making a mistake,” replied Rarity. “Thanks guys, I promise, everything’s going to be okay.” “Give it to him, Twilight!” cheered Spike. Twilight approached over to the unicorns. Snail grinned when Twilight sized up against him, how she had to bend back her head just to look at him. “Got to be joking. Trixie, uh what does the scouter say about his power level.” “Heh, impressive, it’s five-thousand.” “Yeah impressive, do you want to know what my power level is,” Snail asked Twilight. “It’s seven-thousand. That’s like a whole lot bigger than yours.” When he finished chuckling, she asked. “You going to just stand there and keep that bad breath in my face or do you want to do this?” “As you wish.” Snail hefted up his legs, but his guy was punched. The male unicorn croaked, his head stretched out from his shoulders like an giraffe. His head was then dribble punched. Everyone, even Trixie, watched amazed as Twilight hammered Snail. While Snail was bet senselessly, the blue unicorn clicked her scouter. The result made her face cringed in anger. “That’s impossible!” She brushed off the scouter with her hoof and stamped it into the ground. “It’s over eight-thousand!” Twilight threw Snail, crashing him into the ground. Twilight started to brutally stamping on Snail. She then used her magic to scoop Snail up and throw him before Trixie. The once gigantic powerhouse unicorn was now nothing more than a shrivelled pony barely able to move. Half his teeth were missing, had bruises all over and coughed up blood that spouted over his face. “Sorry I was a bit rough on him. But it’s what he deserves for what he’s done. I’ll let you take care of him until you’re ready to continue.” Trixie gave a snotty glare at Twilight. She then moved her eyes at Snail, to see him hold his upper right hoof. “Please… help me Trixie… I’m badly hurt.” Trixie’s horn glowed. Snail glowed in a similar colour. “Thanks… Trixie- you’re the....“ He was flung into the air. “Wait! Trixie! What are you doing?” A smirk creased along Trixie’s lips. “Presto.” Snail exploded. Everyone was shocked, Trixie though just laughed. “What did you do that for? He was your friend! He reached out for you to help him!” shouted Twilight. “Friend? Please, I just used Snail to keep the rabble, like your friends out of my face so I could do better things. The fact that he suddenly became useless, even if it was just for an instant, made him not worth my time. Plus it makes things a whole lot more convenient when I wish for infinite power; I wasn’t going to share it with Snail after all.” “This pony is a complete psychopath,” hissed Applejack. “Ah well, now that I’ve gotten my hooves dirty and there’s no one left to deal with you, the great and powerful Trixie might as well deal with you herself.” “Alright, but could you give me a moment to talk to my friends before you try to?” “Very well, Trixie will allow this.” “Thanks.” Twilight stepped over to the others. “That was amazing Twilight, but what’s up?” questioned Applejack. “I’m sorry you guys, but I need all of you to go.” “What! No way!” yelled Applejack. “We can’t go! We just met up again!” Pinkie Pie squeezed Twilight. “And we’ll meet up again I promise,” said Twilight pushing Pinkie Pie off. “But when that Trixie girl turned on Snail, I could briefly sense her energy at max and I can tell you it’s not good. I’m sure I can handle her, but with that kind of strength, one stray shot could wipe any of you out in an instant. I can’t protect you and fight her at the same time, you have to understand.” There were disgruntled looks from everyone. Able to suck in her pride first, Rarity spoke out. “Very well Twilight, I’ll entrust you to finish that scoundrel off.” “Okie-dookie, Twilight.” “Fine, you’re asking a lot to not let us you up, but I understand.” Applejack nodded. “Just please come back, Twilight?” pleaded Spike. “Thanks you guys, I won’t let you down, now go, you all have families that I’m sure will be missing you.” Everyone left one by one. “You to Owloysius, you’ve done enough.” The owl then flew away and it was only just Trixie and Twilight left. “Are you finished saying your goodbyes?” “Yes, but let’s not do this here. The place is sort of in a wreck.” “You have your point.” Trixie observed the almost bare wasteland. “This battlefield no longer suits my greatness, so I will accept moving to somewhere else to fight and I will allow you to pick your own graveyard.” “Alright, follow me then!” Twilight took off and Trixie followed her. * They arrived to a canyon valley. Twilight descended down onto one of the rock-crafted towers, while Trixie landed on a much higher one. A strong breeze blew and the two stared at each other, but as Twilight braced herself, Trixie just relaxed. “You know, the great and powerful Trixie could use someone like you. Think about it? Us two could give life back to the Unicorn empire once more and you’d be at the side of a great and powerful unicorn that will rule over everything.” “No thanks, I’ve seen what you do to your employees when they let you down.” Trixie chuckled, but Twilight gave a puzzled look then. “Anyways, I have something to ask. Now that we’re like to two last unicorns and all the males are gone now, what are going to do about repopulating the race?” “What! A-are you actually referring I would! Me and…! I, Trixie will admit I thought about Dawnshade, but you’re out of your mind if… You know! Nevermind.” Trixie readied herself with an ugly snarl. “Brace yourself for my magnificence and your end.” Eyes were locked legs spread, they waited. After roughly a minute, a gust of wind blew gently and a piece of rubble fell from its platform. The noise startled Twilight and she rushed at Trixie. She attempted to ram her, but Trixie dodged and tried to punch Twilight, but was blocked. Trixe was surprised, but wasn’t off guard when Twilight launched a flurry of punches back at her. The evil unicorn grinned as she parried each attack with ease. Twilight continued her assault until Trixie had hopped back onto a new pillar. They skipped through the rows of platforms. Trixie then headbutted straight into Twilight and knocked her back. She then reappeared over her and slammed and crushed Twilight the pillar. The two remerged into the air parrying and dodging kicks and punches. Hooking her arms around Trixie’s, Twilight pulled her head back, but Trixie lit her magic to paralyse her, then gave a kick into Twilight’s stomach. The good unicorn doubled over in, enabling Trixie to stamp her head back towards the earth Catching herself, Twilight propelled out of the way from a barrage energy blasts. She swayed side-to-side around the attacks. She didn’t see Trixie shot down and punch Twilight into another pillar. “Heh, there is no way you can defeat someone like Trixie.” Twilight burst from the rubble and appeared onto a new platform. Trixie took the higher ground again. “Stubborn aren’t you? Well guess that’s the way we unicorns are. Our pride invokes such traits. But it makes me wonder how it’s caused you to fight for such weak ponies to throw away the chance to partner with someone such as I. I’ll confess that the partnership is no longer up for grabs, but there’s room as an assistant.” “Gloat now, Trixie, but I’ve just begun to fight.” Twilight braced herself and began to concentrate. Twilight’s body bulged. Her face becoming tense from struggling to contain the power she was building. An out of control aura started to rapidly build over her. Trixie had become so fascinated; she failed to notice the pillar underneath herself collapse from Twilight’s power up. She had only taken away her eyes away from second, but when she looked back up Twilight was right in front of her. In one mighty blow, Twilight socketed her across the field. Trixie scrambled to catch herself. She swerved around to counter Twilight’s charge with a buck kick, but Twilight bounced over her and then gave her own buck that struck Trixie into the air. Twilight then powered up again and went after her. The blue unicorn recovered and tried to punch Twilight, but she went behind her again and bucked her down and smashed her into a canyon. Twilight’s aura faded and returned to normal. She landed onto a canyon opposite of the one Trixie was in. She already felt her whole body numb from the intensity of the Spirit element. All that power had tried to burst out of her. She had only managed to sate it by unleashing it on Trixie, but it had still been all too much strain. “I’m giving you the chance to give up! Don’t feel bad if you take this opportunity. You won’t be thought of as a coward and...” “I am the great and powerful, Trixie,” echoed the unicorn’s voice hissing. The canyon exploded and Trixie emerged from its destruction very angry. “And I am not going to be beating by someone as pitiful as you!” Trixie appeared in front of Twilight about to stamp on her, but Twilight caught them. The two unicorns were now in a test of strength. Twilight was forcing Trixie back, making the blue unicorn’s back to arc. She spotted Trixie’s horn glow however and gave her a headbutt. While Trixie was stunned Twilight had scooped her up onto her shoulders and slammed onto the surface, the impact of the blow caused cracks through the surface and Trixie to choke in pain. Soon as Twilight staggered back exhausted and watched Trixie have some sort of spasm, more frustrated than in pain. “How have you suddenly surpassed me in just a heartbeat? I demand to know! How! You were pitiful compared to Dawnshade, how have you grown this strong in this amount of time! I am the great and powerful Trixie! And I will not be beaten by the likes of you!” Trixie propelled into the sky. Twilight gasped as Trixie built great mass of blue energy in her hooves. “You won’t be able to dodge this! This is my most powerful attack! And when it hits the surface, everything will be swept away in one go, including you!” “In that case, I’ll have to counter it!” Twilight built purple energy. The two raced to charge up. In about three seconds, the two had such large powers of aura around them that the ground underneath Twilight started to crumble from the pressure. They both had concentrated so hard that veins started to appear. At the same time they pushed their hooves out. “Great and powerful cannon!” “Friendship’s howling blast!” The two had unleashed beams of energy. Their attacks collided head-to-head and began a titanic clash, grinding and roaring. The collision was so powerful that nearby pillars and canyons began to topple and be blown away. Two powers were almost equal, but because Trixie had the higher ground, her attack had the advantage. Able to see Trixie’s blast slowly make her way down to her. “Spirit... Element!” screamed Twilight. She quickly pumped up again and her aura fired up. Her beam lanced through Trixie’s. “This can’t be happening!” she screamed. She was struck full force pass the clouds. Twilight rested the Spirit element state once again. The fact she had summoned it a second time now did a number on her own body. She was able to imagine the number she had inflicted on Trixie however. Twilight was astonished when Trixie came back down and landed. The blue unicorn panted and heaved. Her armour was wrecked, her hair was messed up and her body was bruised. “Still not given up?” “I, the great and powerful Trixie, told you that I refuse to accept defeat from the likes of you!” She took a deep breath. “I am meant to be the strongest unicorn. I worked hard, trained endlessly! How is it that someone like you become this strong in just a month?” “Well sorry that you worked hard at something all your life only to find out someone became better at it in a short amount of time. But leave, you’ve lost!” “I will not accept this!” Trixie’s unicorn flared and popped in front of her appeared a large gem stone. She gave a mad grin. “There are so many spells that you can learn as a unicorn. One of them I was able to discover from our history. It’s a spell that helps you mimic the growth rate and power boost that dragons get when their greed takes over. The problem is that it requires a perfect alignment and preparation in your body that it takes years for it work and to do it again would take it many more years. Therefore it’s a great pity that I must use it now on some pony as unworthy as yourself, but that’s exactly why I must use it, is that I can’t be beaten by yourself neither.” Trixie used her magic to throw the gem into the sky. Twilight looked up and stared at the sparkles it made in the sun and something happened to her. All of sudden Trixie started to grow, her face became more bestial and Twilight could feel her power rise. “Oh my gosh,” said Twilight worried * “That’s it, I’m going back to that fight and no one’s going to argue with me otherwise!” yelled Applejack halting. “You can’t, you heard what Twilight said,” Pinkie Pie responded. “Who’s she to tell us that we’ll get in the way! I’m sure I’ll be able to help give that Trixie a thing or two! And I bet that Twilight really will need us!” “You saw how powerful that unicorn was,” spoke Rarity. “We also saw how powerful that one was before and I don’t care how much stronger the one we’re talking about is. We’ve shown we can hold our own, no matter much the chips are against us. I say we go back there and help save the world.” “I don’t know,” said Spike. He moved his head around anxiously, but his eyes caught someting. “Shinny.” Spike rocketed towards the shinny thing. “Spike! Where you going?” asked Pinkie Pie. “He’s heading back to the battlefield I believe, if not a little far off though,” said Rarity. “We can continue this discussion later, let’s find out where the heck Spike thinks he’s going!” * Trixie had grown to at least to twenty times. Twilight was like a mouse to her. “Now you see what you’ve put yourself in, Twilight,” snickered Trixie.. “My power level has gone up ten times thanks to what I call my dragon form. Now it’s time to bury the hole you’ve placed yourself in.” Trixie stamped down, but Twilight reversed out of the way. Trixie spewed a beam and Twilight only managed to dodge it. Twilight hurried into the canyon and Trixie rampaged after her, smashing the canyon apart. Unable to navigate through the collapsing canyon, Twilight burst into the air and was swatted. She crashed through a line of pillars. Twilight struggled to get back up. “Twilight, this is Zecora, are you doing alright?” “Am I hearing voices inside my head?” asked Twilight as her head spun. “In a manner of speaking, but let us rather dwell on the real problem at hand. There’s no way you’ll be able to beat Trixie with what you have. Your only solution will be to use the Friendship bomb.” Twilight ran before Trixie trampled on her. “I’m not sure if I can under the circumstance.” “You’ll have to find or I’m afraid you’re done for.” “Fine, I think I know something that might work.” She stood her ground. “Hey! Trixie!” Twilight vanished and reappeared in front of Trixie’s face. “There’s some disadvantages to being big!” She fired a blast of energy into Trixie’s eyes. “Yeeargh! My eye! I can’t believe you hurt my eye!” Trixie reeled back holding her eye. Twilight hurried behind a row of pillars. She out to the sky and concentrated. Alright, everyone, the bonds that you all hold dear to one another, I need you all to let me into your bonds and connect them to me so that I can feel their energy, feel them so that I can combine them into one solid energy that will be strong enough to save you all, please. White beads of energy dropped down and gather to Twilight, she was astonished. She felt the unbreakable ties of friendship, the eternal bonds of love and the preciousness of just having someone, it all came to her. She soon glowed. The energy focused into one hoof. The pillars behind her collapsed. She got pinned by Trixie’s hoof. “I finally have you,” chuckled Trixie. She was only able to see with one eye. “It was only a matter of time when the great and powerful Trixie would. Now you’re mine!” The blue unicorn pressed down on Twilight, making her scream. “I won’t make this quick though, you brought it upon yourself!” “You leave Twilight alone!” Spike stood before her. “Who are you to give one such as me a command?” “You’re about to find out in a second!” “Destructo Frisbee!” shouted Pinkie Pie. Trixie ducked under the buzz saw attack. “Radiant Grace!” yelled Rarity. “Apple family specialty!” shouted Applejack. The two fired their attacks, but the unicorn moved her head back and allowed the attacks to hit into one another. “Oh, did you all come to watch me kill your last hope?” She made Twilight scream louder. “Or did you come here to make your deaths easier.” “Darn it, what do we do?” asked Pinkie Pie. “Don’t give up ponies, there’s a will there’s a way!” shouted Applejack. “Oh there is, is there? You ponies don’t get it, you’ve all lost to the great and powerful Trixie and there’s no changing that, surrender now and...” Jumping with sword in mouth, Snip had used his blade to slash Trixie’s horn and crack it. “M-my horn.” Snip ran for his life. “No! My beautiful horn! It’s been damaged and with it I’m no longer aligned and…” Trixie shrunk down to her original form. “No!” “Now everyone, let’s rush this varmit!” shouted Applejack. Everyone assaulted Trixie at once, kicking and punching. Twilight was left injured however as the combatants took to the skies. “I may have lost my dragon form, but don’t think you can beat the great and powerful Trixie. No matter what form I’m in, I will always be superior to all of you!” She struck assailants back. Pinkie Pie crashed onto the surface. “Pinkie Pie!” shouted Twilight. “What is it?” She limped as she got towards Twilight. “I need to give you something, quick! Hold my hoof?” When she did, she was shocked to find this flare of energy transferred from Twilight’s hoof onto her own. When Twilight released her, Pinkie Pie was able to gaze at the powerful energy. She could feel its strong presence, yet harmonise with her. “Wow! Cool? Um, what is it?” “It’s the Friendship bomb, Pinkie Pie. It’s a technique formed by all the bonds of every living thing into one solid energy. Use it to defeat Trixie.” Up in the sky, Trixie knocked the others onto the surface. She patiently went after Spike. “You little worm, I’ll deal with you first!” “Hey Trixie!” snapped Pinkie Pie. She threw the energy. “Catch!” Trixie jumped over it, laughing. The attack went straight for Spike. “Spike! It won’t hurt anyone that has a strong link of friendship! I promise! Just bounce it back at Trixie!” shouted Twilight. Spike placed his hands out. The ball bounced against them and went back for Trixie. The unicorn dodged it again. But Rarity and Applejack appeared over the energy. “Oh no you don’t!” They volleyed it back at Trixie and it struck her. The energy violent fused into her. Trixie screamed as the attack pulled her into the air, crackling with savagery. She then exploded in the sky. “We did it!” screamed Pinkie Pie jumping. “We did it! We did it!” “That was for you brother,” hushed Applejack. “Finally it’s over,” sighed Rarity. “Twilight are you alright?” asked Spike hurrying to her. “I’m alright, just a few broken bones I think, but nothing serious,” replied Twilight jokingly. “Hey you guys.” Snip came out of hiding. “Sweet battle huh?” “Where were you!” shouted Rarity angrily. “You realise how much we’ve been in need of help?” “I tried to get to the fight on time, but I couldn’t fly remember, so how was I even able to get to where ever we were meant to meet up at?” “Oh cut the darling slack Rarity, weren’t for Snip, we’d be done for back there and we wouldn’t have won,” said Applejack. Trixie slammed back down, slumped. Everyone screamed until they saw she didn’t move. “Is she dead?” questioned Rarity. “I’ll go and see.” Pinkie Pie hovered over Trixie. She checked if she was breathing, then a pulse and then nudged her to see if there was any reaction. “Nope, she’s alive.” Trixie opened her eye. She punched Pinkie, crashing her into Spike and Twilight. Applejack and Rarity stood ready, while Snip dashed behind cover again. “I… am sick and tired… of you all!” Trixie screamed, her horn glowed and the ground underneath them exploded. When Trixie watched the rubble rain down, she saw all of the four ponies and Spike drop back onto the ground. “You’re all still alive aren’t you! What’s it going to take to make you submit to the great and powerful Trixie!” Her back was slashed, causing her to scream. “You leave my friends alone!” shouted Snip and swinging his sword. The unicorn bucked him into a boulder. “You! You’re the one who damaged my precious horn! Stopped my triumphed victory from being so triumphant! And now you’ve made a horrible scar across my back!” snarled Trixie as she walked up to the dazed Snip. “I am so going to enjoy getting back at you!” Trixie pummelled Snip. Spike laid twitching next Twilight. “Sorry… I couldn’t save you… Twilight.” “It’s alright Spike… at least you and everyone else gave it… your best shot.” “To be honest though… I don’t know why I came back… something to do with something being so shinny.” Spike looked at the sky and saw Trixie’s gem. Entranced by it, Spike’s body began to grow. He rose to his feet. “Uh? What’s happening?” questioned Pinkie Pie. Trixie noticed, she was bewildered to see Spike had grown into a giant great bestial dragon. Spike roared tehn moved towards the gem in the sky and tried to reach up for it. He roared out even louder and climbed the canyons, but his weight crumbled the structure. It sent loose boulders nearly rolled over the bystanders. “Spike no! Stop please!” cried Twilight. Spike paused. “Listen Spike, use that power you have, use it to stop Trixie.” The dragon grunted and saw Trixie and gave a roar. “Oh no.” She ran. Spike punched the earth and Trixie was knocked off her hooves. Fallen to her back, Trixie saw the dragon jump at her, but the unicorn slowed him with her magic to get up and run again. But Spike swatted her and sent Trixie flying. Crashed back down, Trixie looked up at dragon coming for her, then the gem. Propelling into the air, Trixie summoned a solid ball of energy .The dragon leapt up at her, reaching for Trixie. The unicorn threw her attack. Spike almost napped it, but the ball curved over Spike and struck into the gem, the power of the blast was then enough to shatter it. “Yes! The great and powerful Trixie has out done herself again!” The dragon lost control and fell onto Trixie and gave perhaps the world’s strongest body slam. Spike returned to his original form, unconscious. Trixie was under him in so much pain. Her horn glowed. Out from the sky, Trixie’s chariot had zoomed over and landed next to the unicorn. She then brushed Spike off her and dragged onto the platform. Snip’s sword touched her back. “Where do you think you’re running off to?” asked Applejack holding the weapon. “P-plea-se spare me,” said Trixie, trembled. “Any last words?” “No! Applejack!” shouted Twilight carried by Rarity. “What!” “Don’t Applejack, we’re no better if we go taking lives like they did!” “What are you talking about! If we let this here Scumbag go, she’ll just go and take more lives, probably come back for us!” “I believe Trixie can change. I was once like her after all and so was Rainbow Dash, but we both became different and we did a lot of good and you know it. Therefore, who’s to say that showing a bit of kindness will one day make Trixie want redemption and serve as much good as we did?” “Twilight, stop with all this fairly tail beliefs, a varmit like this ain’t going to change just because we decided not to put her down for all her crimes!” “Won’t know unless we offer, it’s not in us to take lives like she does! Don’t let vengeance for your older brother blind you either, Big Mac was gentle, do you think she’d want this, do you think Applebloom or any other of your family members would want this?” Applejack threw down the sword screaming. She then spat. “Fine! For you, Twilight, I’ll let her go! But if she comes here again! I promise! There isn’t going to be any second chances for her.” “What fools,” snickered Trixie. She slumped inside the chariot. “This here will cost you, mark my words, you’ll regret this and the great and powerful, Trixie will make sure you do.” The chariot then blasted off before anymore could be said. Everyone now looked out into the distance. Trixie was now finally gone and the battle against the unicorns was finally over, but what about the war...
