As riding duelists approached the base of the mountain, they saw a flash of light with a monster coming from it. “It looks like somebody’s dueling up there,” observed Spike. “Who is it?” asked Spitfire. Sammy, who was one of the administrators to the competition checked the computer in her d-wheel to check the duels in the vicinity. Since there were only two duels happening in this area, it was easy to spot the duel they saw on the mountain top. Sammy clicked on the icon on the screen and saw who was dueling. Her face quickly changed to fear. Spike picked up on her emotions and asked, “Who is it?” Sammy answered with a rev of her engine and an increase in her speed.

Trixie’s horn glowed bright red as two streams of aura wisped out of it. Gilda knew that there should have only been one. “Wait!” she cried to Trixie, but it was too late. “Apple Bloom, run!” shouted Applejack to her sister. The first beam entered into Applejack, who elicited an agonized yell as her coat got lighter, her hair became white, and her body wizened. Apple Bloom saw this and tried to run away, but to no avail. Gilda watched with horror as she saw the effects of the Soul Locking curse afflict Apple Bloom. For the first time, she saw a true glimpse of how destructive their acts were. When she was taking the lives of adults it was different; they could put up more of a fight. To Gilda, however, taking the life of a defenseless filly or colt was inexcusable. She stared with shock as Apple Bloom’s motionless, wizened body crumpled to the ground. She then stared at Trixie, who laughed at what she had just done. This scared Gilda even more. Is this really what I’ve become? thought Gilda. Trixie then directed her attention to the two fillies weeping over Apple Bloom’s body. “Now, where were we?” asked Trixie aloud as she was about to use the duel anchor spell on Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle. Before the 2 beams connected, Sammy's d-wheel and Spike's skateboard like device flew low above the ground in between Trixie and the two fillies. Sammy and Spike came to a drifting stop with the bike/front of board facing Trixie, kicking up a lot of dust.

When the dust cleared, Trixie saw the two duel anchor streams wrapped around the arms of not Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo, but Sammy and Spike instead. Trixie growled as the anchors went invisible, having already picked their targets. “How about you pick on someone your own ages, you cowardly bitches,” snarled Sammy. She then turned to tell Soarin and Spitfire, who were there next to her, to take the two fillies back to Ponyville, but was distracted by the sight of Applejack and Apple Bloom’s cursed bodies. Sammy could barely control her anger. “How could you?” she said as she clenched her fist as hard as she could. “HOW COULD YOU!” yelled Sammy. “Calm down,” said Trixie. “Screaming your head off isn’t going to bring them back any faster. In fact, that won’t bring them back at all,” laughed Trixie. “Shut up!” said Sammy. “Let’s settle our little score. Right here, right now.” “Fine,” said Trixie in a serious voice. “You won’t be too lucky this time.” Sammy detached her duel disk from her d-wheel and attached it to her arm as she dismounted it. Spike stepped off his d-board and unsheathed his duel disk. They both walked to the cave with their backs to the entrance, while Trixie and Gilda faced them, being just behind the edge of the cliff. Gilda was feeling uneasy. Having now become opposed to taking the lives of ponies and other creatures, she had no choice but to continue fighting to keep from being thrown into a dungeon in Canterlot for the rest of her life. Sammy then turned to the two Wonderbolts, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo. She told the two fillies to ride back home. Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle got on Scootaloo’s scooter and rode down the mountain-side. She then told Soarin and Spitfire to carry Applejack and Apple Bloom back to Ponyville, which they did without saying a word. Trixie and Gilda already had their duel disks unsheathed. Everyone drew 5 cards and was ready to go. “DUEL!” they all yelled.
