Twilight Tries! (Bonus Chapter!)

Twilight Tries: Mayhem

After their game of Mind Over Murder, that little purple pony had been very energetic and very eager to do another round of the mad Professor's game show. It was a far cry from the equine's previous demeanor to be sure, but the Boss liked it. Moping and winging around didn't often get things done, after all.

"Hahaha! Ahhh... Nah. Kinzie just wants us to go to The Grove and wreck everything. Maybe we can do more M.O.M. later," the human replied, seeing the pony's expression falter for just a moment before springing back up again into happy...-ish mode.

"Okay... But let's hurry!" she replied like a little girl while the Boss opened her HUB, ordering for her Temptress to appear on the street. Seconds later, the President and the pony were zooming down the road at an absurd speed.

Four minutes to cause 700,000 cache worth of damage? With just her stomp power? Piece of cake.

The Boss immediately set about to stomping all over the Grove while Twilight stuck to her Mind Over Murder modus operandi. As the President of the United States sent everything flying with her powerful shockwaves, Twilight picked up after her, tossing cars and people and everything she could find that the Boss had missed. It wasn't a difficult task in the slightest, and the satisfying cache register noise that each bit of damage gave off was more than enough to keep the unicorn invested.

The four minutes had gone by in a flash for them both as the screen faded to black.

Twilight Tries: Fraud

Twilight lamented her decision to allow herself to be talked into "Fraud" almost immediately. When they arrived at the spot, they were informed that they had three and a half minutes to cause one million cache worth of damage. Twilight had immediately started flinging everything everywhere, but the Boss had stopped her quickly. She then demonstrated what they were meant to do. Seconds later, the Boss was sailing down the street, constantly smacking the ground and leaving a trail of blood splatter with each impact. She had to cringe at each hit, and loudly grimaced as a very large car hit her and sent her fucking flying.

Two minutes later and the unicorn was also soaring through the air, her body spinning like a top as she screamed "WHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!"

Fraud
Failed

Twilight Tries: Guns

After the utter failure of Twilight's self-destruction performance, the Boss had decided to take Twilight to try something a little different.

Twilight waited in the Temptress while she shopped at Friendly Fire, the trip taking a little over a minute before the Boss returned to the car with nothing to show for it. Nothing obvious, anyways.

A few minutes later, the two were on the roof of the Burns Hill nuke plant. The Boss reached behind her and pulled out a Heavy Pistol, holding it up for the pony to see. "This is a gun," she started, pulling the trigger and grinning as the loud bang startled the unicorn. "My preferred weapons. .45 Fletcher. Take it." The human then spun it around to hold it by its barrel, making sure such wasn't aimed at her kidneys as the equine took it in her magical hold.

She watched the purple one examine the weapon closely, turning it around at every angle to try to understand just what she was holding.

And then it happened. One of the most idiotic things the Boss had ever seen/been involved in.

The President of the United States hadn't had reason to doubt Twilight Sparkle's intelligence before. Even after the enraged attempt on her life, she hadn't come to that conclusion. However, as the pony peered down the barrel of the powerful pistol, the President put a hand out to try and stop her. Her hand nudged the grip of the gun, and somehow shifted it within her telekinetic grasp...

BANG!

With Twilight squinting heavily and the Boss frowning, the pistol was snatched away. "... Just... Just follow me back to the Gateway."

"... Alright... Fuck, that hurts."
