Quest For Equestria

Chapter 31: Dark Side Of The Horse

Rarity woke up from her peaceful slumber as the sunlight hits her face. She open her eyes for the briefest of moments but to her disappointment McGrath was no where to be found. On her nightstand there was a tray with a plate full of pancakes and a note with her name written on it. As she eat her pancakes, which tasted delicious by the way, she opened the note.

Rarity,
I'm sorry that I couldn't be there when you woke up, I had business to attend to.
See you for lunch at the Sugarcube Corner at 13:00?
McGrath.

She couldn't help but smile, it seems she did found her dream prince after all.

Meanwhile at the guys house, some of the gang were discussing how much G3 sucked.
"So let met get this straight." Phoenix said as he took a sip from his drink, "...You tried to catch the cutest thing in the Canterlot garden in a net?", his question made Fluttershy turn her gaze down.
"Yes... But I got caught in it myself." she said blushing at her failure, her blush got even bigger by what Phoenix said next, "Then I say mission accomplished then. I don't think there was something cuter in that garden than you.".

As Fluttershy's blush became a even darker shade of red, Pinkie entered asking where Sutakira was. Phoenix told her he was probably in the shower and like that she headed upstairs.

Sutakira was currently enjoying a hot shower, his blueish hair covered in soap. Suddenly Pinkie burst in shouting his name, in a reflex he covered his junk, though now Pinkie knew that the curtains matched the drapes.
"Sutakira, I'm sick! I already have been to the doctor but he said I was fine! But I still feel like I have butterflies in my stomach and I still don't have my usual appetite! What if it's contagious and..." she ranted while Sutakira quickly grabbed a towel, wrapping it around his lower waist. Before she could continue he told her the reason he thought she was acting this way, "It seems you are in love." he said but this confused Pinkie, she loved all her friends, but none made her feel like this. Could this be a different kind of love? Like how Mr. and Mrs. Cake love each other? She wanted to ask more but a small explosion that shook the house interrupted their thoughts, "Skywalker! Come out and fight me!" a voice shouted as another loud explosion shook the house.

Outside, they founded Trixie, who had traded her cute hat and cape in for a dark cloak as she wore a weird black amulet around her neck. Her magical aura which was usually purple was now blood red.
"Why are you doing this Trixie?" Twilight demanded to know. Trixie herself broke down in an evil cackle, as she spoke up, "Why? Because he humiliated me! After he showed me up, I became a laughingstock! Everywhere I went I was laughed at and ostracized. I even had to take a job on a rock farm just to earn a living! A rock farm!" she shouted as she gave them a reason why she was attacking.
"Hey!" Pinkie shouted as she and Sutakira arrived outside, "You're lucky a farm that rocks would take the likes of you!" she said before Trixie zapped her, deleting her mouth.
"Oh yeah. You are from a farm that rocks." Sutakira noted as all Pinkie could make was groaning sounds. "Now I want revenge!" Trixie demanded as she charged up her horn, "And I'll just keep casting spells 'til you call him. Well? What do you say?" she said launching another magic blast directly at Twilight, who quickly conjured a shield but Trixie's spell was too strong and a loud gong like sound shattered the shield.

Before Trixie could launch another attack, Skywalker landed in between her and Twilight, making sure she would never touch her again.
"Trixie..." He said shooting her a death glare, "I could have forgive you for being a complete fraud, I could forgive you for insulting a farm that rocks, but I cannot and will not forgive you for harming my friends!" he said as Trixie gave him a arrogant chuckle.
"Tell that to the cleaning lady on Monday!" Trixie taunted, but at that remark Skywalker simply rolled his eyes. "Trixie, make up your own jokes." he said as he took a fighting stance, "I may not be green, but you won't like me when I'm angry.", without further notice, Trixie shot a magic bolt at him, but using his advanced reflex he quickly side-stepped the attack, as it exploded in a tree.
"Wait, Trixie now wears black and has red magic?" Skywalker said as he quickly dodged more of Trixie's barrage of spells, "You know what that means?" he asked as he deflected her latest attack into the air.
"Here he comes with the Star Wars reference." Sutakira said rubbing his temples. Skywalker gave a cocky smirk himself as he said, "Trixie went to the Dark Side... Of the horse.".
Suddenly, his friends burst out in laughter as Skywalker shook his head in embarrassment, "It's shameful I took that long to come up with that one!" he said as he turned his attention back to Trixie, "Anyway. Hey, Trixie, give me a heads up when your done warming up and ready to start." he said in a friendly tone but this statement only made her angry.
"We already started!" she said, her face become red from anger, why won't this little monkey just lay down and die already!?

"Hey, Trixie. Random question, ever seen one pony play ten instruments?" Skywalker said as he snaps his fingers and Pinkie appears playing ten different instruments. She couldn't believe this, but seeing as he was distracted she blasted him with another barrage of magic as he was thrown to the ground. "Stop it! Tha-that tickles!" he said laughing as he rolled on the ground.
"Tickles!? That was supposed to make you writhe in agony!" Trixie said as she loomed over him, giving him a dirty look, why couldn't she beat this little ape!? This was the change he was looking for, he quickly reached behind her undoing the hook of the Alicorn Amulet dropping it from her neck as Trixie herself fainted from the sudden power influx.
Skywalker rolled on his back as he said, "I could use a vacation.", which made Twilight scoff, "From what? Waking up at eleven?" she teased as he gave her a sheepish grin.

Meanwhile in a cave overlooking the mountain were Canterlot City was based, two beings were studying the magnificent city.
"Has your hive accomplished their goal?" Morgenstern asked, as an insect like pony next to him nodded, "My Changelings are implanted about 51%, my lord. Virtually every existing guard in Canterlot would be replaced in..." the queen told him proudly but she was rudely interrupted by him.
"Not good enough." Morgenstern he said, "You will go yourself." he demanded as the queen got a shocked expression, "You... Want me to go invade Canterlot personally? Sir, the risk of exposure is..." she tried to state the reason why this would be a bad idea, but he interrupted her once again. "The risk if you don't go are far greater." he said, his voice never losing his cool, "And besides, wouldn't you like to go to a wedding?". If she would succeed, Equestria's army will be crushed as he could free the Crystal Empire and all it's secrets will be his, if she would fail... The same would happen except that instead of being crushed, Equestria's army will be crippled which would also be fine. He could work with either.
