//------------------------------// // Round 2 // Story: My Little Pony Equestria Girls 3: Twilight Vs Twilight // by Hopeful Soul //------------------------------// Chapter 11 By the time the clouds had completely covered the night sky above them, the girls and their dragon turned canine companion had arrived at the back of Canterlot High where they could practically feel the dark magic flowing all over. “Ok, we’re here.” Twilight announced. “I can see that, but where’s the other you?” Adagio questioned, looking around. “Maybe she got tired and went home?” Sonata asked, hopefully. They all glanced at her. “What? A little optimism couldn’t hurt, you know.” “She has a point!” Pinkie pointed out. They then saw a flash of light in the sky and turned toward it. They noticed the clouds rumbling above them and lightning flashing all around as suddenly the dark version of Twilight flew up over the school, smiling evilly and then lowered her palms toward the school where she began to fire massive amounts of dark magic down towards the school. She doesn’t seemed to have taken notice of the group yet but she will soon enough. They were all stunned. “Oh man…” Spike remarked. “She looks stronger and crazier than before…” “Well, so much for optimism…” Pinkie shrugged while Sonata sulked “So… I’m guessing that’s the Alternate Twilight?” Aria questioned. “Lucky guess.” Rarity confirmed. “Hmph, she doesn’t look that tough.” Adagio scoffed. “Uh… are we looking at the same girl? Because she looks scary…” Sonata remarked. “No one asked you Sonata!” Aria snapped. “Would you two knock it off?” Applejack asked, annoyed. “We’re here to stop the Evil Twilight here!” “And we will, just get into your positions and we’ll get in ours, ok?” Adagio said as she and her cronies began to walk off. “Just remember; no tricks.” Twilight reminded them. “Twilight, please, we had a deal, remember?” Adagio smiled, before leaving. The Rainboom’s just frowned, what were those three up to? “Forget about them, let’s just focus on the task at hand.” Twilight told the others. “Right!” They nodded. “Alright, take your positions.” Sunset instructed. “We have to time this right.” Everybody, including the Dazzlings, nodded in agreement and walked off in several different directions while Twilight headed straight for the back of the school. When she reached the back of it, she noticed that the Other Twilight was actually slowly transferring her dark powers towards the portal, making it glow brightly. She only stopped when she noticed the Princess approaching her and scowled. “You again! Back for more, huh…? Why bother? It’ll be the same no matter how many times we go at it. Face it, you can’t defeat me. You don’t even belong on this world!” Evil Twilight stated to Princess Twilight, angrily. “Sorry, but my obligations don’t end at the boarders of my own world.” Princess Twilight stated, firmly. “Well, isn’t that nice.” Evil Twilight remarked, mockingly. “Also, those losers standing behind you called for you and you came running, right? Because your ‘friends’?” “Yes! They are!” Twilight Sparkle stated, firmly. “And I cannot let you hurt them anymore!” “You’re too late, fake! It’s already begun! Soon I will destroy everything around us and you’ll be finished!” Demon Twilight declared. “Everybody’s gonna notice me now! Everybody is going to know how it feels to live in my world! A world of absolute loneliness!” “No! That is not gonna happen!” Princess Twilight said, firmly. “And why do you think that?” Her other self questioned. “Mainly because of this; Get her!” Twilight suddenly yelled. “Huh?” The evil Twilight asked before quickly Rainbow side-kicked her in the back “Ha! I hope that hurt!” Rainbow smirked, as the evil Twilight rolled across the ground and groaned as she got up and noticed the others rushing over in all directions. “Not so fast, sugarcube.” Applejack smirked. “You want our Twilight…” Pinkie began. “You’ll have to go through all of us.” Rarity stated. “That’s right!” Applejack agreed. “Um… but if you want to surrender and talk this over…” Fluttershy began. “Yeah… that’s not happening.” Aria scoffed. “Even I know that.” Sonata pointed out. “Me too! Hey… I think I we’re on the same level as everybody else now!” Pinkie realized. “Totes awesome! High five!” Sonata cheered as she and Pinkie high fived each other while Aria face palmed. “Your through Alternate Twilight. We are not letting you rule this world, that’s our job.” Adagio stated, firmly “Hey!” Pinkie protested. “Through all of you, huh? If you insist!” Alternate Twilight hissed, while readying herself. “Ok girls, let’s pony up!” Rainbow cried. “Right!” They all said. Twilight nodded and then channelled her magic into each of them and herself, plus the Dazzlings as well. Then their bodies glowed as they each began to transform into their half-pony and half-siren forms. Each gained pony tails, pony tail extensions and for some, actual wings. Though the Dazzlings were more translucent then feathered as well as fin-like. “Now this is more like it.” Adagio said, pleased. Spike, who was hiding behind a bush, poked his head out and smiled. “Alright! Get her, girls!” he cheered. “Relying on your friends, fake?” Demon Twilight remarked. “How weak and pathetic you are. Not to mention disgusting.” “Oh yeah?” Pinkie challenged as she picked up a little pebble and tossed it at it. It merely bonked on her on head and did nothing but annoy her. “Lame!” she said, mockingly. Rainbow then flew right toward her, but Twilight swung her into a telephone pole, everyone grimaced as she slid down. “Lame! Lame!” Demon Twilight mocked, before she was blasted from behind and quickly slammed into a wall, where she left a visible mark in it. Twilight, who was the one who fired, flew up and narrowed her eyes. “Sorry, but it had to be done,” she said, firmly. Her other self groaned as she removed herself from the wall. “Why you little…” “Alright girls, let her have it!” Equestria Twilight cried as each of them began to twirl around before releasing bits of energy that resembled apples, lightning bolts, diamonds, butterflies, balloons and a magic star. The other Twilight tried to shield herself from them but each of them knocked her back a bit. “Our turn girls.” Adagio smiled as they all began singing with their angelic voices which then released a sound wave that blew the evil Twilight away. “Alright, one more! Sunset, Adagio, give some of your magic!” Princess Twilight ordered them. Sunset nodded. “Got it,” she said before turning to Adagio. “You ready?” “Do you have to ask?” Adagio asked, tiredly but with a smile. Sunset put her hand over Twilight’s open right palm and created a sphere of green magic, which Twilight held. Adagio also put her hand over Twilight’s and created a sphere of golden magic, Twilight held that as well. Demon Twilight huffed. “Lame.” She extended her arms forward and created a gust of wind that knocked Sunset and Adagio back but the good Twilight just ran forward and leapt up toward her. “Not so fast!” she yelled as she lifted a giant block of earth out of the ground using her magic. But the Princess of Friendship used the spheres of magic to bore right through the giant rock and before the demonic version of herself could react she slammed the spheres into her chest, knocking the wind out of her before creating an explosion that knocked Princess Twilight back to Earth, into the arms of her friends. The explosion was so bright that it almost looked like daytime to all of them. They all shielded themselves from the blast wave and the rushing winds blowing in their general direction. When it was over and the sky returned to normal, everybody unshielded their eyes and panted. “Is everybody ok?” The good version of Twilight Sparkle asked. They nodded and quietly confirmed that they all were. “Good.” “So… did we win?” Sonata asked, curiously. “I think so…” Twilight said before they heard a laugh. “What the…?” Rainbow began before they all turned and saw the demonic Twilight emerging from the smoke and hovering above them while laughing. “You’ve got to be kidding me!” Aria expressed. “We gave her all that and she’s still standing?” “What did I tell you? There’s no way you can beat me!” Twilight mocked them. “Ooh… what do we do now?” Fluttershy asked, fearfully. “Hey! Maybe she’ll calm down if we all sing a song!” Sonata suggested. “Are you kidding me!?” Everyone exclaimed, annoyed. “No! Come on, girl! You cannot be that dumb!” Applejack told Sonata., exasperated. “Oh you’d be surprised….” Aria told her, deadpan. “Our turn now!” Adagio declared as she and her fellow Sirens flew forward. “Wait! You don’t know what you’re getting into!” Princess Twilight warned them. “Oh yeah, as if being totally crazy and clueless has ever stopped those three nutbag’s before.” Rainbow Dash remarked, sarcastically. The Dazzlings then released red waves of sound from their mouths as they sang a certain chorus. The waves collided with the alternate Twilight and created an explosion, but when the smoke cleared… she was gone. “How the…” Adagio began. “Hey! She disappeared!” Aria gasped. “Where did she go?” Sonata wondered, looking around along with the others. “BELOW YOU!” Someone suddenly yelled. They all looked down and suddenly the Evil Twilight burst out of the ground and sent a harsh wind upward, which blew in their faces. “Dazzlings!” Twilight called out. “We’re ok!” Sonata assured them as they tried to recover from the blast of wind. Just then Demon Twilight appeared behind her. “Not for long!” she smiled, evilly, making Sonata and the others gasp before the corrupted Twilight split two duplicates of herself and promptly stabbed each of the Dazzlings through the chest with the energy spear, which didn’t cause any real damage but still caused them each a great deal of pain as they each let out a little cry to the heavens above. The other two Evil Twilight’s then disappear and the main one cackled while the Dazzlings each fell to the ground. The Rainboom’s eyed all widened quickly rushed over to them, while they knew the Dazzlings were technically their enemies, they still felt a great amount of worry for them as they laid there. “You gals alright?” Applejack asked, as she the others helped the Dazzlings up. “Do we look alright?” Aria questioned, spitefully. “I’m alright! I landed on my head!” Sonata informed them, happily. “That figures…” Aria grumbled, annoyed. “Your… helping us.” Adagio finally realized. “Hey, unlike you guys we actually care about the people around us, and not use them like you guys do.” Rainbow stated. “Well then, we’re not thanking you.” Adagio said as she turned away and folded her arms. “Good, then you’re not welcome.” Rainbow shot back as she turned away as well. “Uh… hate to interrupt but we got incoming!” Applejack announce as she gestured to something above them. They all looked up and saw Evil Twilight flying towards them like a missile locked onto its target. They all quickly got out of the way before she crashed into the ground. She slowly rose up and growled at them all, angrily. “Hi!” Sonata waved at her. Adagio then laughed a bit. “You know… I actually like this girl. She’s almost as crazy as me. I almost feel bad for what we have to do to her… almost.” Adagio then closed her eyes and floated upward as she began to sing a tune and release a massive sound wave that hurt Dark Twilight’s ears. “Ah! That sound! I can’t think!” Demon Twilight cried. “Get her girls!” Adagio told her fellow Sirens. “Oh yeah!” Aria smiled. “This is gonna be fun!” Sonata smiled, excitedly as she and Aria flew forward and began to blast sounds waves at the Evil Twilight using the power of their voices, while the corrupted version of Twilight screamed. They then began to sing a song similar to the one they sang during the battle of the bands AKA ‘Under Our Spell’ And when they were finished three blasts of red light struck Dark Twilight and caused her to fall to the ground, seemingly unconscious. The Dazzlings all floated down and gathered around her. “One more should do it.” Adagio said as she and the others prepared to deal the finishing blow. But before they could they heard Twilight’s voice. “Adagio, no!” Twilight stated, stepping forward. “I told you; we need to cure her, not kill her!” “Ha! You’re a fool Princess, do you really think you can purge that much dark magic inside her with just words alone?” Adagio questioned. “Indeed.” The other Twilight suddenly said, surprising them greatly as she slowly sat up before using her bat like wings to float up high above them. "Uh oh..." Sonata gulped. “Fight me all you want fools, but the wheels of my plan are already in motion and I shall be here… to see you crushed beneath them.” Demon Twilight missed. “Twilight… what are you planning on doing?” Sunset asked, slowly. “Oh not much... just destroy all reality!!!” Demon Twilight exclaimed as lightning flashed all around her while the Rainboom’s and the Dazzlings stared in shock and horror. “Ooh! Lightning!” Sonata smiled. Everyone glanced at her still wide-eyed. “Oh yeah? Let’s see how much to like them after this!” Evil Twilight cried as lightning bolts began to rapidly rain down upon them. They all began to move around quickly and watch their step as the lightning bolts nearly hit their feet. “That’s right monkey’s dance! Dance! Dance!” “I’ll show you a dancing monkey!” Rainbow Dash said, agitated as she prepared to fight. “Rainbow, don’t!” Princess Twilight cried. “Yes, you fools are gonna have to wait your turn!” Demon Twilight said before disappearing and then reappearing in front of Twilight. She easily pushed Rainbow aside and grabbed her other half, who looked greatly terrified. “You and I have unfinished business. Prepare… to die!” Evil Twilight then kneed Good Twilight in the gut and gave her a magical push into a wall. She dropped to ground, groaning in pain. “From what I gather, we’re very much alike, you and I.” Demon Twilight told her Equestrian Counterpart while walking toward her. “Two beings with the same personalities but each with different life choices. You became a Princess, while I became a miserable little nobody.” The Evil Twilight then grabbed the Good Twilight by the neck and held her up before slamming and pinning her into a wall with her hand and then her knee. “What do you say we rewrite that, shall we?” Sunset Shimmer ran forward. “Let her go Twilight!” she yelled. Demon Twilight snarled as she turned to her. “Oh? And your gonna stop me?” Demon Twilight asked, mockingly. “Ha! Don’t make me laugh!” “Why not? It’s fun to laugh!” Pinkie piped up. “It’s true! I love jokes!” Sonata added. The others just groaned. “Let’s just get her!” Rainbow told them before flying forward, and knocked the Evil Twilight away, releasing the good Twilight. Spike rushed over to her. “You alright?” he asked, concerned. “More or less…” Twilight responded. She then noticed that her dark half had just knocked them all way with a dark energy wave. Her eyes narrowed. “Spike… run.” Spike nodded, and went back to his hiding place while the Evil Twilight turned her attention to her hated other half. “I told you; you’re not welcome here, faker!” Demon Twilight yelled as she fired another blast of dark magic at her duplicate, which she blocked with a magic shield. “I may not be wanted, but my friends need me, and that’s more than enough for me.” Twilight Sparkle declared. “It’s your funeral.” Dark Twilight sneered, as she flew straight for her, then Applejack got in her way. “Right back at ya!” she said before side kicking her, sending her flying. The others joined in striking her as she flew as well, though Fluttershy merely gave her a small tap. She skidded across the ground until she came to a stop, lowered her head and put her clawed hands on her knees before she began to chuckle, much to their confusion. “You know… it’s kind of funny… to think there would be someone like be in the universe… someone… identical to me.” Demon Twilight remarked, before looking at her Equestrian counterpart full of rage. “That must be why I can’t stand you! Your presence, your magic, your very existence makes me sick, it’s like I have goosebumps all over my body! At least the solution is simple; I’ll just have to erase you completely! And just to make sure there is no trace of me left anywhere, I am going to… in a way… wipe the slate clean.” “What are you planning to do?” Princess Twilight Sparkle demanded. “I have devised a way to amplify the portal from whence you came, only this portal won’t lead to your world, it’ll just destroy you… then everyone else!” Demon Twilight stated. “You mean you’re gonna deliberately cause the portal to become unbalanced!?” Good Twilight exclaimed. “Yes…” Her evil self hissed. “But… whatever gets sucked into it…” Princess Twilight began. “Yes! It will cease to exist! In minutes the portal will grow large enough to suck this entire city in oblivion!” Demon Twilight said, evilly. “Then the entire planet! The explosion will then be magnified, which will cause it to spread to every world beyond and once it does, all reality will follow! I will obliterate you all!” The Evil Twilight cackled while everyone watched in horror, including Aria and Sonata. Adagio just smirked a bit. “I take it back, she’s much crazier than I am,” she confessed. “Yeah, we’re all negative energy feeding sirens and stuff, but like… even we’re not that mean! Or are we?” Sonata added, sounding confused. Aria groaned. “If you do this, then you’ll destroy yourself as well!” Sunset Shimmer pointed out. “Yeah, some plan.” Aria scoffed. “Not quite.” Evil Twilight said. “Thanks to my new powers, I shall be protected from the blast wave. I am safe. And when it is all said and done… I will be the only Twilight Sparkle in the multiverse!” “But… what if it doesn’t protect you?” Sonata questioned. “You know, just something to point out, since it doesn’t make a lotta sense.” “To you maybe.” Aria scowled. “Well, on the off chance that I do get eliminated… so be it,” she said, surprising everyone. “At least then… my pain will end… along with everyone else’s, since this will destroy everyone who ever lived or ever will live, of course. Make sense?” “Kinda, yeah!” Sonata nodded. Aria just groaned in annoyance. “But… but why would you do this?” Fluttershy asked, teary eyed. “Because ever since I was born, this world has misunderstood me, tormented me! While that me got everything she ever wanted!” Demon Twilight exclaimed, furiously gesturing to her alternate self. “Well, not anymore! If I can’t be happy and noticed, no one will!” “No! I know you don’t want to do this! It isn’t in me.” Twilight stated, firmly. “And your me!” “I’m more you then you’ll ever admit!” Demon Twilight spat. “If that’s true… then you know that this is wrong.” Princess Twilight Sparkle told herself. “You were a good person once… I know you were. I know you are.” Demon Twilight was surprised by this and then quickly got angry. “Give me a break!! I don’t care what you think. Nobody understands you except me and that’s vice versa! People have been ignoring me since I was a little girl! Never acknowledging me, making me invisible!” she spat, as tears began to form as she held her heart. “It was so hard! So painful! Nobody else can understand that kind of pain!” “Except me…” Princess Twilight said, understandingly. “Ha! You really expect me to believe that?” The other Twilight asked, smugly. “It’s true, while I did enjoy my studies and just reading all the time, deep down I was lonely and if I didn’t have Spike… it would have been a lot worse…” Twilight said. “Please, Twilight, you must understand; the reason you’ve been so alone and angry because you’ve never had a friend! You’ve never seen how important friendship is. That’s your problem! Don’t you see? The dark magic’s made you crazy!” “No! You’re the problem! And I’ve never been saner!” Evil Twilight stated. “And now you’re gonna be destroyed and I’ll make everything right!” “Alright, try and chase me out, then.” Princess Twilight said, offering herself.. “Not that you can, even if you tried.” “Why yoooooou!” Demon Twilight roared before she flew over and locked arms with the Friendship Princess. “Go away, fake!!” “Sorry, I can’t do that. Like I said; my friends need me.” Princess Twilight stated, as she knocked her other self back with a pulse wave. “Besides, you’re the one who said I’m you, remember?” “Shut up, shut up, shut up!” The other Twilight screamed, growing more and more frustrated as she fired multiple dark bolts from both her left and right hands and then started to breath purple fire her mouth. Everyone quickly scrambled to get out of the way of the blasts and hide behind the school sign as the flames flew over their heads. They all could actually feel the heat rushing over them and were nearly singed and licked by the flames themselves. Part of Pinkie’s hair actually caught on fire also. “Ah! Ooh! Ooh! That’s hot!” she cried as she quickly patted out the flames. “I’ll be the one whose triumphant! None of you will survive!” The Demonic Twilight proclaimed to them all, “Ugh! Curse her!” Adagio growled. “Yeah, she’s kicking our butts here!” Sonata added. “Everyone! Give me a little bit of your magic, I’m gonna try something.” Twilight told them. “Try what?” Rainbow questioned. “Whatever it is, if you think we’re gonna give you a piece of our power now, your nuts.” Aria added. “Aria! Do you want to live!?” Princess Twilight shouted at her. This remark startled Aria a bit and made her nod. “Good. Now pile in.” “Great… more hand touching…” Aria sighed as she and the others put their hands onto Twilights. Then energy began to flow down their arms, down Twilight’s and into Twilight’s body. “Alright! I got it!” Princess Twilight said. “This better work…” Twilight then hopped over the sign and faced her other self in what almost seemed to be a Western duel. All that was missing was a tumble weed, which was replaced by an old newspaper just rolling right between them. “So, decide to face me alone then?” Demon Twilight inquired. “That’s the thing Twilight, when you have friends… your never alone.” Princess Twilight stated, firmly. The Princess then developed a strong center of gravity as she stood her ground and caused a massive amount of magic to flow all over her. Her eyes narrowed fiercely. The others eyes all widen in amazement. “Wow!” Pinkie said. “Incredible!” Rarity marveled. “That’s so cool!” Sonata remarked. “No…” Spike began before a smile appeared on his face. “That is Twilight Sparkle, the Princess of Friendship!” The Dazzlings all looked surprised and impressed as they continue to gaze at the Friendship Princess with wide eyes. “That’s some magic you got there fake, not bad, but it’ll take more than that to stop me.” Demon Twilight stated, smugly. Princess Twilight smirked and readied herself. “Here I come, egghead!” That last remarked enraged the other Twilight. “I am not an egghead! I am well read!” “Egghead.” Rainbow whispered to the others, who all chuckled, angering Demon Twilight even more. “Let’s do it!” Demon Twilight snapped before glaring at her twin once again. The two Twilight’s then clapped their hands and created beings of energy that were shaped like Alicorn’s, similar to the one that appeared during the battle of the bands. Princess Twilight landed on the one made out of pure white energy while her corrupted counterpart landed on the own made out of black energy. “Charge!” They both yelled as their Alicorn avatars reared up, whinnied and started to gallop towards each other in the sky while the two girls on their backs held on. Then when they got close enough they both jumped off just as the two energy Alicorn’s slammed their heads together, creating a massive shockwave. Both Twilight’s then flew up towards each other. “Just die already!?” Demon Twilight snapped, as he lunged her fist forward, trying to punch her in the face like last time. But Twilight managed to use her human reflexes and move her head out of the way just in time. “Not gonna happen!” Princess Twilight declared as she struck her in the face, just as hard as her other self did to her the first time they met. Everyone that was watching below winced, seeing that. “Ooh! That’s gotta hurt!” Rainbow Dash cried, smirking. “You don’t have to take quite so much pleasure in this, Rainbow.” Applejack stated. “We do.” Adagio said, smiling. Aria and Sonata both nodded. “For the record… you three are scary.” Pinkie told them. “We know.” Sonata nodded, casually. Both Twilight’s then began to spin as they fell straight for the ground. Twilight quickly noticed that she was about to hit the pavement and used her wings to retard the fall and make it so she only hits the ground lightly. She groaned as she tried to stand up. “Having a little trouble getting up?” “What…” The Princess asked, weakly before she noticed her counterpart standing over her, grinning wickedly and looking completely unharmed. “Sorry fake, didn’t take!” Evil Twilight sneered, before the others appeared behind her. “Hey! She’s not your only opponent you big meanie!” Pinkie reminded her. “Yeah! We’re here as well!” Rainbow Dash added as they attempted to side kick her back but the other Twilight quickly grabbed their legs and tossed them both side with ease. “Leave them alone!” Applejack yelled as she and the others dashed forward as well in attempt to restrain the other Twilight. But the demonic version of her friend easily kicked, jabbed and knocked away anyone that got close to her. She then turned to the Dazzlings. “You next?” she asked. “We are.” Adagio stated, firmly. “Then come on then! Let’s have at it!” Demon Twilight challenged. The Dazzlings flew forward and engaged the alternate Twilight in a three on one fight, during which the corrupted Twilight, during which the demon girl showed great pleasure as he beat up the Dazzlings mercilessly and showed absolutely no subtly and little technique in her fighting style. She leaped up and knocked Adagio down with a punch to the face, jabbed Aria multiple times in the side, knocking her over, then swiftly knocked Sonata down as well with a palm strike to the chest. Evil Twilight grinned, sadistically as all ten of them groaned in pain as they tried to stand. “Ugh… darn her…” Aria grumbled. Adagio growled. “She’s so dead!” Evil Twilight laughed, evilly. “These are the all-powerful Rainboom’s who supposedly saved the world twice?” she remarked before turning to Adagio’s gang. “And you, Dazzlings. Aren’t you supposed to be the trio that managed to bring a whole school to its knees? You’ve grown weak!” “What!? Weak?” Adagio echoed, angered. “Did you really think you could beat me by childishly attacking me like that?” The evil Twilight asked them, mockingly. “Just give up! You can’t defeat me! My dark magic is unstoppable!” Adagio growled, looking a bit insulted, then began flying forward. “Let’s go, Dazzlings!” she cried before flying forward. “Fine, coming.” Aria said, resigned as she flew also. “Wait for me!” Sonata called out, while beginning to fly after the other Dazzlings. “Come on Rainboom’s! She’s not showing us any mercy!” Rainbow told the others.. “And we can’t let ourselves be outdone by the Dazzlings!” Applejack added. “That’s for sure!” Rarity nodded. “Yeppee!” Pinkie cheered. “Uh… ok.” Fluttershy stuttered. “Let’s do this.” Sunset declared, before they all let out a battle cry and flew alongside the Dazzlings. “Girls! Hey, wait!” Princess Twilight yelled as her friends and the Dazzlings all charged toward the other Twilight, who looked surprised. The nine of them then became like a giant rainbow of light that flew straight toward her and eventually clashed with her when she created a shield around herself, energy crackled all over, energy Princess Twilight had the shield herself from. Eventually the Demon Twilight had enough and extended her arms. “GO AWAY!” she yelled. This created a pulse wav that hit them all like a runaway train and sent them flying through the air screaming before crashing into the ground one by one. “Oh no, girls!” Princess Twilight cried as she rushed over to her unconsciousness friends and checked them over. “Rarity! Are you ok?” Spike asked, concerned. The other Twilight just cackled. “Still fighting? Even though you know you’ll lose in the end?” she mocked Princess Twilight. Twilight frowned and stood in front of her friends and the Dazzlings. “I’m won’t let you hurt my friends anymore!” “What good are friends anyway? Besides Sunset Shimmer tried to destroy you too! What’s the point in trusting someone like that!?” Demon Twilight questioned, angrily. “It doesn’t make any sense!” “It doesn’t matter whether there’s a point or not.” Princess Twilight reasoned. “I trust my friends and they trust me. That’s all there is too it.” This made the corrupted Twilight even more angry. “You little…!” She then flew straight for her other half in a blind rage, yelling while doing so and was then calmly knocked away by Princess Twilight and rolled across the ground. “Rrgh…! Why are you…! Argh…!” Demon Twilight groaned as she slowly got up. “Surrender! Please! Before this goes any further!” Princess Twilight begged her. “Sorry, but I don’t feel like losing to you now.” Evil Twilight sneered. “Trust me, I know what I have to do. It’s you or me… and it ain’t gonna be you!” The corrupted Twilight then charged up her magic while the Princess of Friendship stood her ground. “That’s what you think.” Twilight said as she copied her other self, and caused her magic to radiate from the middle of her palm. The Princess of Friendship glared at her other half fiercely after she saw the sight of her fallen friends again while the light of the moon slowly shined out from behind the clouds and slowly shined over both of them. Twilight soon snapped out of her trance once heard her other self scream as she fired a dark magical beam at her and she simultaneously yelled back at her, as he pointed the front of her palm directly at her evil twin. A loud bang then went off as the blasts collided, and cracks between them, marking the point where the beams met Evil Twilight’s dark purple jet of light met Twilight’s magenta beam and they struggled to overpower the other until finally the both canceled each other out and the shocked both of them off their feet and rolling backwards. Both girls then sat up and glared at each other, panting as they tried to catch their breaths. Just by looking at each other, they could tell what the other was thinking at that very moment. It was like they could read each other’s thoughts simple through an exchange of magical blasts. Eventually they both stood up straight. “You know Twilight… had the circumstances been different… our roles could have been reversed.” Princess Twilight told her other self. “I used to care only about science, magic and studying and didn’t give a second thought about friendship. I kept pushing everyone away… and if I had continued… I’d be all alone. Plus… if I had discovered the possibility of other worlds with other Twilight’s… I’d think be threatened to, and create some kind of evil plan to get rid of them all.” “I almost gave into horrible and lonely place. I used to think I didn’t have any bonds with anyone. But then…” she continued on. “I met my friends… and they… and they saved me from myself. They showed me how important friendship really is. We may be different version of each other, but we had such similar burdens. Pretty ironic if you ask me, anyway I’m sorry you never got that chance, no one should have to suffer that much. No one should have to be alone like that. But you’re hurting the people around you, people who are trying to help you. But we can end it all right now, you and I, you just need to stop all this madness here and now.” “I need to? You really are me. Like I said; I know exactly what I have to do.” Demon Twilight stated. Her alternate self looked down sadly, disappointed by her counterpart. “It’s time to end this!” Demon Twilight declared. “I couldn’t agree more!” Princess Twilight added. Just then the others all began to regain consciousness and groaned as they stood up to see that both Twilight’s were about to clash again. “TWILIGHT!” They all cried. Both of the two fighters stared at each other, their eyes full of rage. There was a short pause before they both began to fly towards each other. They soon got closer and closer towards each other until finally they leaned back and prepared their final attacks while the two Alicorn’s made out of energy that they created appeared behind them once again. The world went silent as they, and their alicorn avatars, lunged forward and screamed as they collided. There was a loud explosion once their attacks hit each other. The bright light caused everyone to shield their eyes and shockwave rushing towards them all as the two attacks continued to clash and exert massive amounts of energy that was the color of each of their magical auras, before creating a shockwave.
