//------------------------------// // Twi Wars // Story: Too Many Twilights // by Octavia_Melody //------------------------------// At Sugar Cube Corner, Fat Twilight was sampling what remained of the pastries in the aftermath of the fire that burned half the store. The portly pony held a burnt black brownie in her hoof and took a bite out of it. “Dark chocolate...mmm....” she commented. “What do we have here?” said an oddly familiar voice from behind. Fat Twilight turned her head around only to see a pair of lavender bipedal legs attached to horse hoofs. She titled her head up and beheld a tall humanoid Twilight who was a bit more shapely than the one from Equestrian Girls. “I just love you chubby little ponies!” Anthro Twilight said with glee as she picked up Fat Twilight and snuggled her into her bosom. “You don’t happen to have any candy?” Fat Twilight requested. “You can have all the candy you want after I take you home.” Anthro Twilight said with a wink. It didn’t take long for Anthro Twilight to reach the real Twilight’s treehouse. The real Twilight was still arguing with Solid Sparkle as Crazy Twilight looked on in fear and Pinkie looked on in enjoyment. EG Twilight was also there, but she’s irrelevant. Anthro Twilight burst through the door, still clutching Fat Twilight. The other three Twilights jaws dropped in amazement, as Pinkie grabbed a bag of popcorn from nowhere and started munching away. “Dis gun be good.” Pinkie observed. “More adorable little ponies!” Anthro Twilight announced, attempting to nab all the ponies in the room and engulf them in a group hug. “Hold it!!” the real Twilight demanded, “There’s one other clone still out there causing all kinds of trouble and she still has Spike!” “What of it?” Solid Sparkle asked. “Okay, so maybe Celestia goes crazy in the future, but that evil clone is the one who’s hurting Equestria now!” the real Twilight explained, “She’s got everypony hooked on some crazy mind-controlling cupcakes!” “Now that you mention it, Ponyville is almost empty.” Solid Sparkle recalled, “Everypony’s gone.” “They must be following Evil Twilight.” the real Twilight said, “Wow; it sounds really weird when I say it.” Before anypony could act, yet another Twilight walked through the door. A second anthro, this version with fangs and bat wings protruding from her back, nabbed Fat Twilight. “How many of them are there?!” the real Twilight panicked, starting to revert to Crazy Twilight mode. “The horror! The horror!!” Crazy Twilight felt the need to add. Vampony Anthro Twilight (VA Twilight) flapped her wings and took to the sky. She then plunged her fangs into Fat Twilight’s neck and began sucking her blood. “This is one way to lose weight.” Fat Twilight observed. Almost as soon as VA Twilight left, the regular Vampony Twilight landed, clutching an unconscious Spike in between her fangs. “Spike!” the real Twilight called out, “What have you done to him?!” Vampony Twilight let go of Spike, who collapsed to the ground. The vampony clone snarled at the other Twilights and advanced toward them. Vampony Twilight was suddenly hit by a magical green blast and collapsed to the ground. “He’s my slave, not yours, you bloodsucking freak!” Evil Twilight yelled, her horn glowing brightly. Vampony Twilight’s own horn lit up and the two clones faced each other down. They both unleashed a magical aura and tried to cancel out each other’s energy. Vampony Twilight hissed defiantly as Evil Twilight’s magic overpowered her own. Vampony Twilight shrieked in pain as Evil Twilight unleashed a powerful blast, ripping off the vampony’s left wing. Vampony Twilight collapsed to the ground in defeat as Evil Twilight marched over to her. “Say my name.” she ordered, “Say my name!” Vampony Twilight gave an unintelligible screech. “You’re Celestia-damned right.” Evil Twilight replied, “Now to finish you off.” The evil clone raised her horn, prepared to stab the life out of the vampony. Vampony Twilight opened her mouth wide and clamped down on Evil Twilight’s neck with all of her remaining strength. Evil Twilight screamed in pain as blood gushed out from two fresh puncture wounds. Vampony Twilight held a large chunk of flesh in her mouth as Evil Twilight clutched the gaping hole in her throat in horror. The real Twilight trotted over to Spike and nudged him awake. Spike’s eyelids fluttered open and he looked up. “Spike, are you okay?” the real Twilight asked. “Twilight, is that you?” he asked, “The real you?” “It’s me, Spike.” she assured him, “What happened to you?” “The other Twilight kidnapped me.” Spike said, “She made me eat those cupcakes and then she made me help her bake them. Then that creepy bat Twilight swooped down and grabbed me.” “Did she hurt you?” Twilight asked. “Not really.” Spike admitted, “My dragon scales are pretty tough. It took her a while to break the skin. I’ll be fine.” Evil Twilight squirmed over to the real Twilight and Spike, trying to speak through bloody gurgles. “Sp-Spike...” she whispered, “I-I’m sorry....p-please...I...I l-love you...Sp-Spike...my Spike...I love you...m-more...than she...ev-ever....c-could...” Evil Twilight reached her hoof out to touch Spike and left a bloody hoofprint on his chest. Tears streamed from her eyes as she breathed her last. Spike felt water leak from his own eyes as he closed Evil Twilight’s eyelids with his claws. “I wonder if she really meant it...” the baby dragon wondered.
