Welp, time to bring out the popcorn, mabey get in some snide remarks every now and then, really im not sure how you can avoid copy pasteing next chapter from the episode entirely.
I agree I cannot really see him doing anything during the rematch except commentating on how everything is going, likely to the members of the Thinky, who also start putting in their two bits, all of this quiet enough so other ponies dont hear, but loud enough for the members to all hear.
Down with Chrysalis comment
The atmosphere is tense in Ponyville as Twilight and Trixie face each other down. Mostly because Trixie stuck a bunch of dark stormy clouds in an enclosed dome. In contrast, you're as cool as cucumber ice cream in an icebox dipped in liquid nitrogen and launched to one of the frozen moons of Neptune, nonchalantly eating your pink-frosted, rainbow-sprinkled breakfast donut as you think,
Trixie wins; I'm the right-hoof bug to a new Queen. Twilight wins; I'm the double-agent who helped bring Trixie down. Either way, I'm good.
"Captain, make sure NOPONY interferes." Trixie orders, not taking her eyes off of Twilight.
"Yes my Queen." you salute *splat*, "D'oh!"
...And accidentally splatter your Bowler Hat with the donut you were eating.
"Oh, and organize a cheer for me." Trixie adds.
"Understood my Queen." you salute before turning to the guards, "Guards, cheer."
The guards start quarter-heartedly cheering for Trixie.
"Go Trixie..."
"Yay..."
"Trixie, Trixie, She's our mare. If she can't do it, GREAT!!!"
...Except for one defiant guard who causes Trixie to radiate with anger,
"Captain..." Trixie growls murderously.
"I'm on it." you say before you trot over to the offending guard and whisper,
"Nice reference. Now play along."
The Guard gives you a confused look before you pinch his shoulder with your hoof. Getting the hint, he proceeds to grab his chest and start yelling,
"Oh, my heart! Gak, gasp, cough, uuuuuhhhhhhh... Fall." before he flops onto the ground and continues to twitch.
As everypony gasps in shock at this,
"Pouring it on a little thick, don't you think? And the Vulcan Nerve Pinch isn't supposed to be fatal!" you whisper loudly at the "unconscious" guard before telling Trixie, "The heckler has been neutralized my Queen."
"Now then, Let's start with a simple age spell, shall we..."

As everyling watches the rematch, you can't help but instinctively root for Trixie... and you're the only one. Sensing the animosity the other townsponies are directing at you, you decide to ham it up and play both sides,
"Boo! Booooooo..." you heckle and everypony looks at you. "Boo Twilight, Boo..."
"Quit heckling me! I"m trying to concen-." she tries to say before a donut smack her in the face, sliding over her horn.
"Boo..." you half-heartedly say as Trixie laughs loudly.
*splat*
Before you throw a pair of donus at Trixie as well while she's distracted. As Trixie angrily starts trying to get them out of her face. You shout to Twilight,
"Sucker Punch! Sucker Punch her now!"
Getting the hint, Twilight zaps Trixie a mustache and you and everypony else laughs. Trixie narrows her eyes before zapping the moustache off before zapping Snips and Snails into babies.
"Dear Lord My Queen! That's a bit too far, I mean jeez!" you exclaim.
"Hah, Too Far? I'd say just enough, Sparkle cannot even do..."
Suddenly Twilight zaps Applejack and Rarity into foals. Everypony cheers for this, but (since nopony else is doing it) decide to scream in horror.
"WHY? Cruel Chrysalis, Why would you do that to your own friends?!" you yell.
"It's a contest, and Trixie just did the same to Snips and Snails," Twilight tries to explain.
"Yeah, but they were already kids. You're friends were in like their 20's! Now they'll have to go through puberty again. PUBERTY!!! What the buck is wrong with you!"
Yeah, it's a competition for the fate of this town, but still that kind of magic is horrible! Besides, nopony else is heckling Twilight so I gotta pick up the sla- Wait, what's that?
Looking more closely, you notice a glint of light when Twilight "re-ages" Applejack and Rarity. Your curiosity piqued, you put on the Multi-Vision Goggles and set them to "Thermal mode". With that engaged, you clearly see foal and adult-sized, pony-shaped masses of heat running to and from the spot under the cover of smoke every-time Twilight casts the spell, their hoofprints visible thanks to the heat vision.
Oh... It's jusr smoke and mirrors! you realize as you deactivate, retract, and put the goggles away, Probably would have noticed that sooner if my drone instincts weren't too busy compelling me to obey the Queen. I could tell Trixie, but I better keep my options open.
"Hey Trixie! Serpentine, Serpentine! You unhelpfully call out.
"What? Why? What would that even accomplish?!" Trixie says with her eye twitching.
You then look to Twilight "cloning" Rainbow Dash causing Trixie to exclaim,
"That's- That's impossible!"
Oh come on, you can see the body paint and wig on Fluttershy! you think.
Then Pinkie Pie, starts playing a bunch of instruments after Twilight zaps her.
"This-This can't be!" cries Trixie.
"Umm... it's just her playing a bunch of instruments, how is that- *crash*" you start before Pinkie smacks you in the head with a cymbal crash having had enough of you making the competition more tense.
"Ow." you mutter as everything spins.
As your vision shakes, you hear Twilight say how she'll turn a Mare into a Stallion.
"What?!" you yell, before you see her turn Applejack into a Stallion. It's clearly that Big Mac, but again, you take the opportunity to ham things up,
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!! Voodoo! Voodoo! I say. My Queen, take her out before she kills us all! EVERY MARE FOR HERSELF!!!" you yell before diving under a nearby vendor cart, trying to make the situation even more tense, and some of the towns ponies do look a bit more hectic.
"Alright alright, calm yourself captain!" she grunts out, and you notice her sweating nervously and scared.
"Shut up!" Twilight exclaims in annoyance at you.
Ha, got Trixie scared, and Twilight angry, this gonna be good. you smirk.
ONE DUEL LATER AND BECAUSE YOU ALL ALREADY SAW HOW THE DUEL ENDED IN THE CANON EPISODE, THERE'S NO NEED TO REPEAT IT HERE
Kichi's comment
With the town cheering Twilight's victory, you decide would be prudent for you to distance yourself from Trixie. Sure, it was fun being an officer for a hot powerhouse and playing double agent like a cunning chessmaster, but even if Twilight and Zecora's plan failed they could still call in the Princesses who control the celestial bodies of space. Needless to say, things never would have worked out for Trixie in the long run.
Filled with confidence at a job well-done, you walk over to the Elements and are about to say something when they notice you first... and they don't look too happy.
"What in tarnation are you doing here? Don't ya need to help your "queen"?" Applejack angrily asks.
"That? Oh, come on, I was playing double agent. No hard feelings?" you offer.
"You're only here because you thought we were the winning team, aren't you?" Rarity accuses.
"Ah, bi, Pfft. What? No. Why would you think that?" you stumble nervously.
"Please. I've seen this several times before in Canterlot. Nobles only want to back a clear winner and will drop him or her the moment he/she loses."
"Oh come one!" you exclaim, "Didn't I give you that info on how only she can take off that amulet AND the idea to dig under the dome?" you insist.
"Well he is right abou-" Fluttershy adds before Pinkie interrupts.
"What about heckling Twilight?"
"That uhhh... Was also part of the act, to make sure Trixie believed me." you insist, trying to make the others believe you.
"And what about slapping me!" Rainbow Dash interjects.
"Again, that was organization habits! And I already apol-"
"That's the other thang, this 'organization' you said you was part of." Applejack points out.
"Yeah, you admitted you guys did something really really bad and if slapping me was 'organization habits' then why the hay should we trust you?!" Rainbow Dash adds.
"I- Uh-" you stumble.
"Two-faced varmint." Applejack spits before she turns and leaves, the others following suit (although Fluttershy does briefly look back with a sad look before rejoining her friends).
"Oh come on!" you exclaim in annoyance.

Out of the corner of your eye, you notice the Royal Guardponies starting to regroup so you turn to leave-
"Hold it right there!"
"Great." you mutter as you turn to see Twilight coming up to confront you,
"What was the idea with all that heckling huh? Did you want Trixie to beat me?"
"Hey, I was just playing the part. You won so why does it matter?"
"It matters because you were making me angry and intentionally stressing out Trixie into making mistakes. It's like you were playing both of us and not caring which side won."
"Hey, I was looking out for the rest of the town. If you lost, I'd still be in her good books and keep the town from becoming a complete dictatorship. If you won, which you did anyway, then everything goes back to normal."
She shakes her head, "Even so, that was still a very reckless gamble. Your heckling could have caused the situation to get out of hoof and hurt the town! Were you really looking out for the town, or were just looking out for yoursel-"
"Alright alright, I can read the writing on the wall." you angrily interrupt as you take out the Gold Cigarette Case, "I know when I'm not wanted." you add as you take out one of your cigarettes for a smoke when suddenly it's telekinetically yanked out of your grasp.
"Are you crazy!?"
"Hey!" you exclaim in annoyance.
"Ponyville is a smoke-free town! Plus studies have shown that they are the leading cause of-"
"Hey, Twilight, it's raining." you snark causing her to look up in confusion.
"What? It's clear skies. There's no rai-"
"Exactly. It's raining to amount of bucks I give!" you exclaim as you grab the cigarette back, "My lungs. My call." you mutter as you light up the cigarette (1), before finishing it in a long quick drag, and blowing it out in a sizable smoke cube.
"Bye." you say curtly as you flick the cigarette butt away and leave the bookworm in shock. With that conversation putting you in a bad mood, your mind once again goes to dark places...
As you watch the battle you see that the amulet could be the perfect tool to have for your plans. With the powers of the amulet it could be easy to recover, not to say save your queen from almost any pony prison, unless they put her in Tartarus. Because of that you decide that the best is to get the amulet and begin to work your mind about the best way to get it.
Ungrateful ponies. You try to help them by playing double-agent and suddenly they don't trust you. you think angrily, unaware of the irony, Fine, if they won't let me in, it's back to plan A; Finding my Hive and freeing them. That'll show those ingrates. And I know just the amulet to help me with that...
You smirk cruelly at the thought and start looking for Zecora, only to see her talking with a pair of the Royal Guardponies. Your thoughts sobering at this, you realize,
Cruel Chrysalis. What was I thinking? That amulet is clearly too well guarded. Even if I somehow got that amulet, there are SO many things I need to find out; How does the amulet work? Where is my Hive being held? How could I use the amulet to fulfill my goals? Will the Queen execute me on the spot for taking son long? Is it called a cherry changa or chimmy cherry? Or what if I combine them? Chimmy cherry changa? I better get out of town before I get any more half-baked ideas.
With that you again start to leave town. As you pop another sugarcube into your mouth the ronch on, you coincidentally pass by Sugarcube Corner.
*ding*
Getting an idea, you cover the Makeshift Bomb in frosting and icing, put the fuse in a wax coating to make it look like a candle, and put the whole thing in a cake box.
"Makeshift Bomb" turned into "Cake Bomb"
Getting an idea, you go into Sugarcube Corner and order a small tub of pink frosting, a small tube of yellow icing, and a cake box which cost you 4 Bits total. Taking the items, you proceeded to leave the bakery and quickly ducked into an alley, took out the Makeshift Bomb, and got to work.
Fortunately, "basic cake-decorating" was one of the skills you were trained in at the Hive so soon you had a "cake" with a pink coat and yellow webbing with a pink flower on top with the fuse sticking out of it like a candle. You carefully put the "cake" into the box and put the box into your Saddlebags.
"Makeshift Bomb" turned into "Cake Bomb"
56 Bits remaining
Thank you Hitmane. you think as you leave the alley, but suddenly see Filthy Rich and Spoiled Rich...
BrownDog77 comment
You walk right up to him and say,
"Your wife is a horrible living being, Brother Bits. I really think you should trade her in for a younger model. Or at least a discount."
Because you said this right out loud to Filthy with Spoiled right next to him, he gives you a bemused look as several nearby ponies snicker at your comment.
"Why, y-you, you..." she starts before you declare.
"Well it's been fun. See ya!" before you head out of town.
As you walk down the road away from Ponyville, you notice how late and cold it's getting outside.
"Huh, maybe I should have waited till tomorrow to leave." you shiver. You're about to smoke another cigarette to keep warm when you notice a campfire light near the edge of the woods.
As you walk towards the light like a moth, you see that it's in front of a wagon and a certain blue mare is sitting in front of the campfire.
"Hey, Trixie?" you call out and she looks up.
"Oh, Mr. Dewitt, what are you doing out here?" she asks.
"Well someponies were kind of irritated at me for joining you, so I had to skedaddle."
"Oh, well Trixie is- No, I'm sorry for causing you duress."
You saw her being all humble and apologetic after the amulet came off of her, and it's a remarkable improvement on her attitude.
"Oh don't worry about it, was my fault anyway," you dismiss.
"No it wasn't, I went drunk with power and you were just looking out for yourself. Still, I thank you for showing me kindness and helping the others whilst I was being influenced," she says with a smile.
"No problem... So do you mind if I share your fire? It's kind of cold out."
"Not at all, in fact, I have a spare bed in the trailer if you don't wish to sleep outdoors" she says and you sit down.
"Oh, um...you sure that's a good idea?" you ask.
"Of course, why wouldn't it be for my only friend?" she says.
"Well, uh... wouldn't it be awkward after what happened last night?" you ask nervously.
"Huh? What happened last night?"
"You don't remember?" you ask with a blush beneath your scarf.
"No, all I remember is you offering me some delicious wine, and then I woke up with my head killing me."
"Oh..."
"So what happened?" she asks.
"Oh, nothing important..." you cough before changing the subject, "So where you headed?" you ask her.
"Oh, I don't know. Figured I'd try to bring back the old magic act, but I need money first for props and such. I heard there are gem fields south of the Everfree."
"You uh, need someone to tag along? I uh, don't really have anywhere else to go, and it's kind of dangerous out here for a mare to be on her own" you say.
She looks shocked at this, "Why would you want to go with me?" she asks.
"Well, because none of what happened back there was really your fault. Some of it, but not all of it. Plus you did appoint me your Captain after all." you tell her.
"I'd like that Mr. DeWitt. It would be good to have company as I travel. Mayhaps you could help me with my show in some way once I've found funding."
*growl*
Suddenly you hear Trixie's stomach growl causing her to blush in embarrassment.
"Um, if it's not too much to ask, do you have any spare food? I forget to pack supplies when I left."
"I got you covered." you say as you take out a Can of Cream of Potato Soup...
NOON, THE NEXT DAY
We now find you in the woods with Trixie and her wagon heading towards the gem fields south of the everfree forest. You both had a good night's rest (in separate cots in the wagon) and had a Jar of Chocolate Peanut Butter and a Box of Ritz Crackers for breakfast where you told Trixie about your "condition" that requires you to wear clothes all the time and she told you her last name is "Lulamoon" and that she was a former student of Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns. Along the way to the gem fields, Trixie accidentally spilled her magic trunk with all her props falling out onto a pit of mud.
You're now helping Trixie retrieve her items (using Force Pull so you won't get your suit dirty) when your changeling instincts sense... something in the nearby bushes...
WHAT DO YOU DO?
