Trixie vs Blueblood

Next morning, Night mare moon gazed out through her ships glass window, in her private dark chambers that was quite spaced out with lot of room filled with trophies and trinkets. The ship itself was quite large and big as a house and was shaped like a ring. Its size provided the excellent use as a base, where diamond dogs patrolled outside.

Nearby her, Night mare moon had all four of the orbs of harmony.

Stepped in through the self-open doors, Blueblood entered. “I have transmitted a message my lady to one of the nearby bases for new scouters. We’ve hit a problem where they’ll take a few days to manufacture some more and few hours to deliver them.”

“Curse that pegasus,” hissed Night mare moon. “And what of Gilda! Has she returned yet?”

“Um no my lady.”

“You don’t think it’s anything to do with Trixie do you?”

“I’d go with more likely those earth ponies we sent her to chase after my lady.”

“I wouldn’t estimate Trixie, Blueblood, something tells me that it’s never been good that we have up until now. But fact remains that Gilda should’ve returned by now, but hasn’t and I don’t want us to be just sitting around here, therefore I want you Blueblood, to go out there and scout.”

“Me? Why not send out a couple of diamond dogs?”

“Because, there aren’t that many diamond dogs remaining to do the more menial tasks and if they get attacked by someone like Trixie, I’ll have even fewer. Therefore I need someone I can count on, which is you. However-.” tail crashed against the floor like a club and caused it to crack under its power. “Bring me even further bad news or question my orders like that again, I will have to let my anger out on a little someone who is right now on thin ice.”

Didn’t need the hint to know who she’d let it out on, Blueblood turned to the door. “I’m on it my lady!” And jumped out.

Propelled through the air over Cloudsdale, Trixie had only begun her flight again after she got some shut eye. She couldn’t help but be cocky about this and needed some time to think about her schemes.

She continued to go through the air, but jerked and felt a rush of energy pass through her. With a diabolical smirk, she said. “What’s this, I have ten- fifteen, oh no wait, twenty power levels, perhaps more. I wonder what they could be.”

Changed her course over towards where the energies came from. She soon found herself hovered over a Pegasi village. There were toddlers who sat in front of teachers and listened to them, there were adults who worked on crops up on the clouds and there were elders who had conversations.

Lowered herself down to them, Trixie caught the attention of the pegasi. They were all baffled by her appearance and began to form around her curiously and suspiciously. Soon as Trixie landed, a hefty round pegasus emerged from the circle audience to approach her.

“Greetings, I am the mayor of this village and I am pleased to meet your acquaintance.”

“Actually you should be honoured to meet my acquaintance.”

The pegasus chose to be unphased by that rudeness. “We don’t get too many visitors that come to Cloudsdale. May I ask your business?”

“I’ve came looking for the Orbs of harmony, may you tell me where I, the great and powerful Trixie may find them?”

“We have one of the Orbs of harmony right here, but I’m afraid you may not have it. Only those with permission from the princess may take it.”

“Sorry, but someone as great as me doesn’t need permission, I just take and unless you hand over the Orb of harmony that you just revealed you have, I’ll just take it the fashionable way.”

Every single pegasi braced themselves and glared viciously at the unicorn now. It was clear that the mayor didn’t need verbally answer.

“Have it you way,” said Trixie.

*

Woken up again and trotted out of the cave, Applebloom and Sweetie Belle had already made good friends with Scootaloo, but the poor pegasus was still down about what happened yesterday. Everyone then gathered in a circle and sat down.

“Alright, we need to start coming up with a plan of action. We’re dealing with hombres that are times stronger than us and are probably too smart for anything sneaky, but we understand that they can’t search for any of the Orbs of harmony at the moment because they don’t have a method. Good thing we do however,” said Applejack. She then pulled out from her a large round device with a graph screen on it. It had on it three yellow dots.

“What is that?” asked Spike.

“It’s the Orb radar! It’s something my dad made to locate the Orbs of harmony,” said Pinkie Pie.

“Why do you guys want to find the Orbs of harmony?” questioned Scootaloo.

“Well little fella, we lost some friends and lot of other ponies from a unicorn attack and we just want to revive them back so that things can go back the way they were before,” answered Applejack softly.

“Are you telling the truth?”

“Of course we are dumpling, why wouldn’t we be?”

“I just need to make sure your intentions are good, princess Celestia only wants to see those who mean no harm.”

“Whose princess Celestia?” asked Pinkie Pie.

“She’s an alicorn, like Night mare moon, they’re both sisters I think.”

“Sisters?” blurted everyone.

“Yeah sisters. I don’t know how, but the two are probably the only two alicorns in the whole world and happen to be related. Princess Celestia’s really nice though. It’s said that there was an age when Cloudsdale was in turmoil, us Pegasi were about to become instinct until Princess Celestia had arrived. She had used the Orbs of harmony to restore our home and save us, not only because we were needed to look after the weather to avoid storms and droughts on the ground beneath, but because she was that caring to all races.”

“Wow, but wait, if this princess is Night mare moon’s sister, shouldn’t she be able to take her own?” asked Applejack.

“Supposedly she did, but she had been crippled in battle against her years ago, which is why we took her in after she saved us. We see her now as our ruler and advisor to all of us, but due to her condition, I don’t think she’s able to fight Night mare moon.”

“Why are you telling us all this, if I may ask?” questioned Rarity.

“Because she has one of the Orbs of harmony and maybe able to help us figure out how to beat Night mare moon.”

“If we can secure the Orb of harmony that’ll be enough help,” said Applejack. “But are you sure that this princess will be okay and not already attacked?”

“Not really, but that’s what I’m worried about and why I want to go, I don’t want to make sure she’s okay. But I do promise that she has an Orb of harmony and always knows what to do, please.”

“Alright, cool your horses; it’s just that it’s best only one of us go with you because it won’t be safe with those goons at there. There’s a good probability that they have people searching all over for the Orbs of harmony and we don’t want that search party finding us out in the open. Our odds are more in our favour if there are only two of us. Harder to see and getaway and all.”

“That sounds fair to me, so which one of us should go with Scootaloo?” asked Spike.

“Pick me!” yelled Sweetie Belle.

“No pick me!” shouted Applebloom.

“Neither of you can even fly!” shouted Rarity in both their faces.

“I should go. I didn’t have a chance to go out yesterday, so should be only fair.”

“That’s fine Applejack, we’ll keep an eye here.”

“Okay Scootaloo, let’s move but take it easy, we don’t want to make an aura of energy, just make us more visible and it would build up too much energy in case anything else is here.”

“But princess Celestia’s really far from here, it might take us until the end of the day if we go that slow!”

“Better safe than sorry, now like I said, let’s move.”

The two lifted off and gently flew onwards to princess Celestia.

“Good luck big sis!” cried Applebloom.

*

A pegasus had lifted his arm to chop down on Trixie, but the unicorn had spun around and smashed her own hoof into him and crashed the pegasus into one of the wrecked buildings.

The entire village had become a scene of carnage, with pegasi dead everywhere, homes destroyed and holes made against the ground. The only pegasus that remained was the mayor, who held a child pegasus. Tears ran down her face and viciously asked the unicorn.

“How can you do all this?”

“What a trivial question, it’s because I’m that superior to all of you.”

Trixie had then lifted up her upper right hoof and fired out from it a energy blast that struck against the mayor and wiped her and the child pegasus completely.

Showed no remorse, Trixie relaxed and observed the wreckage for a moment. “Now I wonder where the Orb of harmony is?” She walked around and looked inside the houses. They were very modest. Most had only beds and chairs, while a few others had tables at least. It didn’t take her long to see this throne and on top of it like an ornament, was a coloured orb.

With a wolf like grin, she used her magic to bring the orb over. “Now that was too easy.” After she took a moment to observe it, she walked on over to the rainbow coloured river and actually chucked the Orb of harmony into it. “Heh and now I’m the only one that can track the Orb of harmony, per-.” Another surge of energy jolted through her head and she looked into the air. “Another power level, quite an impressive one.” She then grinned. “I wonder if that could be Blueblood?”

*

Blueblood anxiously looked down on the ground for anything, while he sweated in the sky. “I need to look for something, otherwise if I’m forced to go back, Night mare moon will have my-!” He was interrupted though by this light blue comet that hit into him. His aura countered against it and the two bounced back. The then disappeared and unveiled to be Trixie.

“Greetings Blueblood?”

“Trixie! You realise just how unpleasant that was?”

“Actually I found it quite pleasant.”

“Never mind, I see you’ve finally decided to show yourself, you cowardly unicorn and you’re now in a world of trouble.”

“I am, but I was having such a terrific day. It so happens that I, the great and powerful Trixie, have already found an Orb of harmony!”

“You have! Well where is it! Hand it over!”

“Unlikely, for you see I have great plans for it and they don’t involve just handing it over.”

“If you don’t hand it over, I will beat you to the very inch of your life and drag you back to the base to heal you up and do it again unless you tell me where that orb is!”

“You? Ha! You’re not even as strong as Gilda and I dispatched her without a sweat.”

“I don’t know how you know of Gilda’s disappearance, but I highly doubt a unicorn like you could be possible of such a feat.”

“I’m just going to avoid repeating my conversation with Gilda to say that I’ve hid my power level for a very long time and I only just now do I unveil it now that I, the great and powerful Trixie, has finally done the thinkable and turned against Night mare moon.”

“You actually believe you can defeat me? Fair enough, but you’re about to regret your actions.”

Blueblood raised both upper hooves and fired from them a barrage of energy blasts at her. Trixie however dodged and smacked against the blasts and appeared up to Blueblood to strike him across the face. She then smashed down on him with both her upper hooves and propelled him towards the ground.

Quickly recovered, Blueblood caught himself in the air and then built up his energy and fired it out at Trixie. The unicorn however had already built up her own energy and fired back down, crushed aside Blueblood’s attack and went straight for him. The minion quickly jumped back, but the blast was able to grind against the surface of his chest and leave a large burn mark against his armour. While Bloodblood was shocked by it, Trixie hammered down with all four hooves and stamped him into the ground, the island shook from the impact.

Flipped back off him stylishly and floated in the air over Blueblood as he got up, Trixie asked. “Any last words?”

“Last words, ha,” coughed Blueblood, his mane’s style had been ruined, his lip bled and his body was bruised, but he smirked. It confused Trixie and made her wonder if she hit him too hard. “I may now believe you defeated Gilda, but don’t think you’ve defeated me. You see, you’re not the only one whose been hiding your power, though it’s nothing to do with plans on turning against my lady. It’s more that these power forces me to put away these fabulous looks in order to use them, due to the fact I have a certain side of me.”

“Trixie does not like jokes. I’ve knowing you for a very long time Blueblood and I know that I’ve outmatched you.”

“Now you’re the one who’s wrong.” All of a sudden, Blueblood’s body bulged and expanded, his eyes became snake like and his teeth became sharp and razor. Trixie was shocked to see that the incredible handsome pony had now turned into a monster out of a horror film, she was more shocked though to feel how much stronger he had become.

Before she could snap out of it, Blueblood shot up at him and punched Trixie across the face. He then started to do a flurry of punches and kicks that were too fast for Trixie to stop. Blueblood then pressed his hoof into the back of her Trixie’s head and slammed way over into a mountain and caused her face to smash into the mountain.

Shot back up into the air, Blueblood built up his energy and unleashed it into a beam at the unicorn. Trixie was just able to roll back in time and avoid the blast. She then tried to use her magic to try and catch Blueblood, but the monster vanished. He then reappeared next to her with his hind presented and bucked her up into the air.

Trixie had gone so far up off the ground, unable to do anything. Blueblood then appeared behind her and squeezed his arms around her. Trixie now knew what being stuck in a vice was like as she was helpless as Blueblood flipped them both upside down and propelled towards the ground. She shook her head and tried to buck against him, but Blueblood let go of her at the last moment and left enough momentum for Trixie to crash into the ground and explode against the island.

The unicorn was now shattered and bled. She struggled to get up, only really able to move her upper right arm. She wasn’t able to move anything when Blueblood stamped down on her head, back into his ordinary form with a smirk on his face. Trixie was now unconscious and beaten.

“This’ll do for being bet to an inch to your life. Now let’s drag you back to base so I can put you back together to see if you want us to do it again or tell me where the Orb of harmony is, shall we?”

Picked up Trixie by the neck with his teeth, Blueblood elevated them both into the air and blasted off back to base.

Into the evening, Twilight was still in the air and continued to do press-ups, she had counted up to a three-hundred and twenty before finally collapsed back down. She sweated horribly, gasped and trembled with exhaustion, but had left herself strong enough with enough energy to drag herself over to the control panel and click on the gravity machine to switch it back from forty to ten.

“Wow, I’m really climbing through this fast, might be able to reach to a hundred before I get to Cloudsdale and help out.” Twilight slumped against the machine to slump against it and rest.

“Your powers are climbing at a good rate,” said a voice.

Looked around to see who it was, Twilight quickly figured out. “Zecora!”

“It’s good to see you, my proud pupil and glad to see that you still continue to thrive.”

“It’s great to hear from you as well, how are you doing?”

“Just fine little one and Bubbles and Gummy are doing fine as well, thank you for asking. But I have come to tell you a very important warning.”

“What’s that?”

“What you are up against is probably one of the most greatest challenges that will ever happen in your life. Right now in Cloudsdale, great dangers await, for already there is Trixie.”

“I had a hunch.”

“Not just her, but in Cloudsdale is a far greater evil. This evil is a very old organisation, much like an empire that has conquered and eliminated continents for a very long time. It is ruled over by a wicked and most evil pony named Night mare moon. She, at all costs, must be avoided or you are doomed for certain.”

“Doomed, why?”

“There is no way I could even come close to preparing you for Night mare moon. She has power that goes beyond anyone or anything can come close to. She is single handily responsible for the wide scale destruction of many homes and those who get in her way, she make sure they regret without any mercy to offer. I beg that you avoid her, for not even the Friendship bomb or Spirit element combine can help you defeat her. You have to promise, don’t think that I don’t know you have some unicorn pride in you and if one your friends are in trouble against her, you have no choice but to leave them and wish them back with the Orbs of harmony, promise!”

Twilight had a grim face on and was silent, but after a few minutes, she sighed and said. “Fine, I’ll try and avoid her at all costs. But if the Orbs of harmony our outside my reach, you’ll have to understand that I can’t leave my friends.”

“I feel this is the best that I will be able to get out of you, so very well, I will accept that.”

“Thank you Zecora, you are a good trainer.”

“And you are a good pupil and good luck on your training.”

*

Arrived at night, Applejack and Scootaloo gently hovered over walls made of pillars and into this lovely green garden that existed up here. They then approached a small castle up ahead. This all stood on a large, cylinder shape cliff that was way up off the clouds.

“Kind of dangerous to have someone all the way up here, don’t you think?”

“We never really considered an attack before. We may have some really good fighters, but I don’t think there’s ever been a moment when we’ve been in this kind of trouble.”

“I reckon that’s understandable then.”

They then stopped before the castle that had the size of nothing more than a large house, but shaped in a medieval style.

“Let me just ask if someone’s in first. They don’t like it when ponies just walk inside to see Celestia.” Scootaloo took a few steps forward and then called out. “Hey! Is anyone in there! Hallo! It’s an emergency!”

The large wooden door of the castle split open slowly. Stood there to greet them, all by herself, was a pony hidden by the shadows. Applejack was able to make out her scruffy mane, fierce glare and straight eye lashes that it made her gasp out.

“Can’t be, Rainbow Dash.”

“Who’s Rainbow Dash?” asked the pegasus and emerged from the shadows to unveil her tan coat and greyscale rainbow coloured mane. “And step away from Scootaloo or else.”

“Wait Daring Do, this here ponies our friend that wants to help us!”

“How do you know?”

“She saved me from Night mare moon and took care of me for a few days!”

The pegasus then gave a uneasy look at Applejack.

“She’s right, I’ve just came here to Cloudsdale to collect the Orbs of harmony and bring back my brother and friends to life. It’s the truth I tell you.”

“Alright, I’ll believe you. But don’t think I won’t put my guard down.”

“Thanks Daring Do.” Scootaloo then ran up Daring Do to brush her head against her chest. “It’s great to see you again.”

“It’s great to see you’re okay as well,” replied Daring Do and patted her on the head.

Scootaloo stepped back from Daring Do and said. “We’ve come to see Princess Celestia, can we?”

“If you truly say this pony’s our ally then very well, follow me.”

Daring Do led them into the castle corridors lit by torch lights. Kept behind her though and wait for Scootaloo to come a little closer to her, Applejack whispered.

“A mighty tad jumpy isn’t she.”

“I think she’s the only one left. I think all the palace guards left to try and fight Night mare moon, but Daring Do hasn’t been able to because someone needs to protect Princess Celestia.”

“Is she going to be much use all by herself?”

“For sure. Daring Do’s our best fighter in all of Cloudsdale. She’s much stronger than all of the Wonderbolts put together.”

“If that’s true, strange she wasn’t sent instead of them.”

“I think Daring Do’s just as protective as every other pony, so it probably just as hard for her to leave Princess Celestia’s side. We also probably wanted to give her the most protection so we won’t lose the Orbs of harmony.”

“Alright, enough talking behind my back back there. I’d like you to show some respect to Princess Celestia.”

“Sorry,” they both said.

Daring Do next pushed the doors at the end of the corridor open and the two followed her in. There they found rested on a purple mat bed with a thick long orange pillow behind her, gracefully and beautiful, a white alicorn with a light colourful mane that waved romantically. She gave a soft warm smile to the ponies that entered, but she couldn’t help but have her head low and sluggishly lay against her bed.

“Greetings,” she said softly.

“Princess Celestia!” shouted Scootaloo and ran over to her. “Are you alright, you don’t look well!”

“I’m fine. But I will admit that I have been feeling the pain of every pegasus inflicted by my sister Night mare moon.”

“Hi, I’m Applejack and it’s an honour to meet you,” said Applejack, stepped forward.

“Greetings Applejack, I sense you have much questions.”

“I do, your royal highness.”

“Come here, we may be able to save sometime this way?”

Applejack was hesitant, but once Daring Do nudged her forward, she stepped on over to Princess Celestia. Soon as she came close enough, Princess Celestia tapped Applejack’s forehead with her horn. All of a sudden, Applejack could feel her memories from the beginning since she met Twilight and rushed forward in one mighty stream, all the way from her battles with Rainbow Dash, the war against the unicorns and up to this point in Cloudsdale. The Princess pulled back her horn soon as they got to the point she arrived here.

“You have achieved quite a lot in your lifetime young Applejack.”

“Why thank you your royal majesty, but may I ask what was that just there.”

“I pulled out memories that revolve to what you’re right now focused on and looked through them briefly. Don’t worry I didn’t look at anything personal. But it’s finally good to know what had happened to Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy.”

“Um, what did happen to them? Like how did two pegasi get on our home place with no retrace of who they are?”

“During the great turmoil, before I arrived, the pegasi tried to hold onto their home even though it face great destruction. In the likely outcome, they placed Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy inside the aircraft and sent them off into the unknown, it was hoped by chance that they would carry on their race.”

“You did realise they were both females right?”

“Both Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash come from powerful families, the reason why they were powerful was because they had the ability to create the Orbs of harmony. They didn’t know how to control this ability at the time, so it was hoped Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy would together and restore the pegasi if they had been destroyed.”

“How old were they, when they were sent out?”

“Very young, but pegasi tend to be very stubborn and sensitive, so I’m afraid they found it easier to have pegasi who weren’t able to form attachments yet and wouldn’t remember where they came from until they were old enough to find out.”

“That sounds mighty unfair and cruel.”

“Indeed it was but you had to imagine the circumstances that the pegasi were under.”

“Well, I’ll just leave it as that then.”

“It’s good that the two of them survived and grew up together however in a very hard life. But it’s a shame that while Fluttershy grew up to enjoy your homes wonders and life, Rainbow Dash grew up in anger and fear of those who were jealous of her wings. It brought them to turn against each other, Fluttershy became the guardian of your home called Equistria, while Rainbow Dash became the one who tried to rule over it and fought many times. It’s so sad to see such a life. But a great thing that Rainbow Dash overcame her fear and hate with the help of a young baby dragon.”

“Yeah, she sacrificed herself just for him, something I never thought Rainbow Dash would ever do.”

“Friendship is a powerful thing that can make a great difference in someone. Once Spike had reached Rainbow Dash, friendship healed her. I only wish the same could be for my sister, but I’m afraid evil has become so thick around her, Friendship cannot penetrate.”

“I hope I’m not being rude if I ask, but how is your sister, Night mare moon, nothing like you, other than the fact she’s an alicorn.”

“Her name didn’t use to be Night mare moon for start, she use to be called Princess Luna, my little sister. We both worked together to help protect the world, but something inside her changed. I don’t know what, but it brought out another side of her that just wasn’t her. Her mind twisted and her heart misplaced. I tried to stop her many times from her misguided ways and attempted to foil her plots, but my feelings for her hindered me and led to me being unable to defeat her and result in my needing help from the pegasi.”

“I take it you planned on another fight with her with these fellows?”

“Not really, although the pegasi are strong warriors and fighters, I could never ask for their arms in war. I came here to save them from the turmoil, but I was becoming too weak that I needed rest here and remained here for so many years while my sister laid open her empire.”

“Well, might thanks for telling me all that, but I hope you don’t mind me asking for something.”

“Indeed, I wish to help you revive your noble brother and friends, so it is with pleasure that I hand you the Orb of harmony that I have.”

“You sure that’s a great idea, entrusting this pony with one of the Orbs of harmony.”

“I’m afraid it will be a matter of time when Night mare moon finds me and I won’t be able to protect it. She has a group of friends and a reliable friend that’s on the way and I’m sure that they together will succeed in their quest.” Her horn glowed and popped out from behind Princess Celestia was one of the Orbs of harmony that levitated over to Applejack and rested before her.

“Wow, it’s a bit hefty, but thanks.”

“One more thing. There is a hidden power that I can sense within you. I think I might just be able to awaken it and make you strong.”

“You can?”

“Just hold still.” The princess then tapped Applejack’s head once more with her horn. Within a few seconds, Applejack burst with power that rushed out of her for a moment until she quickly gained a hold of it.

“Wow, I feel so much stronger.”

“You will. I have given you more power to help, but it is not significant change, but may help. If you can bring your other friends along here to, I can awaken their hidden powers.”

“I’ll go right on and get them right on over and thanks. Is it alright if I leave Scootaloo here as well, I just figure it might be safer?”

“It’s a fine idea.”

“Could you bring Applebloom and Sweetie Belle as well?”

“I’ll see what can do, but thanks you all, I won’t let you down!”

She ran back out with the Orb of harmony and went on her way back. Now that they were alone, Daring Do stepped up to Princess Celesita.

“I hope that was a good idea, what you did there Princess Celestia.”

“I’m sure it was. As I said, there’s a reliable friend that they have that I’m sure is on the way. She is truly amazing and may be the one to truly help us in this struggle we face. She even has this ability to change people that I even hope, by a long shot, she helps my sister.”

*

It was now really early in the morning, the sun was only just now risen and everyone was already up and out of the cave.

“My sister isn’t back yet,” said Applebloom.

“Just give her time, she’ll be here and alright,” replied Rarity and held her.

“Well I don’t like just sitting here, we need to do something!”

“Pinkie Pie’s right! Rarity, you know that Orb radar you showed right? Well there’s a single dot that Applejack wouldn’t have gone pass and it’s all by itself. I think we should go and see if we can make it ours.”

“It’s a bit risky.”

“Come on, we just need one Orb of harmony!” shouted Pinkie Pie right up to her.

“And then what?”

“Then at least we know that those bad guys won’t have all six and there’s still hope we can do something,” said Spike.

“Sigh, you have a point. But I’ll stay here and watch over Sweetie Belle and Applebloom. You two go on ahead.”

“What! No, not again!” screamed both girls. Sweetie Belle then yelled. “We’re tired of being treated like luggage.”

“Strange, because you what we found you in when you snuck onboard the ship!” Rarity had passed the Orb radar to Spike. “I’ll handle these two, you just go on ahead.”

“Okay, thanks Rarity.”

The two then dashed off and Rarity was left to argue with the two little ones.

*

Entered into the medical bay that was filled with drawers and tables, covered in medical tools, Blueblood walked through them up to the healing chamber that Trixie was hooked up to and rested in its liquid.

“You look very fair with how the healing liquid moves your hair like that. It will be a shame to destroy you, once I destroy you after I’ve obtained what I want.”

“Excuse me my lord,” said a diamond dog in unicorn armour appeared out from under one of the computers. It made Blueblood respond with an awkward startle.

“Um nothing, just wondered where you were.”

“I was checking the data on Trixie.”

“Ah, Night mare moon sent me to know how long it will take for her to regain consciousness.”

“She should’ve regained consciousness by now, but for some reason hasn’t. I had the guards in here ready to apprehend her for interrogation, but I’ve sent them off to ready for some more extreme measures to wake her up.”

“Very good, but be careful with her. You don’t want to find out Night mare moon’s wrath if you destroy our easiest method of finding one of the Orbs of harmony.”

“Have nothing to worry, just that it’s going to be real unpleasant for her when she wakes up.”

Blueblood started to walk out from the medical bay. “It’s going to be real unpleasant anyways when she wakes up.” He then exited through the doors.

Now it was just him and Trixie, the diamond dog approached the healing pod. He had a smug grin with his fists against his hips. “Boy are you in a lot of trouble, I wouldn’t even want to be close to you right now.”

The diamond dog became shocked though when he noticed Trixie suddenly tremble inside and open her eyes in anger. Completely stunned in fear, the diamond dog did nothing when the healing pod flared in front of him.

*

Entered Night mare moon’s chambers, Blueblood watched her lounge on the floor and playfully roll one of the Orbs of harmony.

“Trixie is secure at the moment, but it’ll take a while longer before she’s ready to talk.”

“Excellent, I’m almost down to five that means. But I wish you had left Trixie still conscious before you brought her to me. I wish to see her face once she realises just who she crossed.”

“My apologies my lady.”

“No need, you’ve fixed everything now and that’s all th-.” A loud explosion shock the ship and got Night mare moon on her hooves angrily. “What was that?”

“I-I-It came from the medical bay I believe.”

“The medical bay? Then stop standing right in front of me like a gawking imbecile and go there right now! Trixie’s making an escape with my Orb of harmony!”

The two rushed outside and went to the medical bay, but moments later, the door was blasted open and clopped through was Trixie better than ever and with a devious grin along her face. As she entered she saw before her, were four of the Orbs of harmony left behind.

“Look how you, Night mare moon, have just orchestrated your epic downfall from grace and helped me, the great and powerful Trixie, ascend ever so close to her rightful place called an ever higher spot of greatness.” She lifted up her upper right hoof and fired through the window with an energy blast. She then used her magic to lift the Orbs of harmony out one by one and launch them out through the window and far off from the aircraft.

*

Watched her minions try to cool the fire with frustration, Night mare moon had her teeth clenched ready to bite a ponies head off at the wreckage she saw, but no Trixie to be found. Stepped to her side appeared Blueblood.

“My lady, our security has thus far been unable to pick up anywhere that Trixie could’ve possibly escaped outside.”

Thought for a moment, Night mare moon screamed at him. “Where are our Orbs of harmony?”

It occurred to Blueblood to what Night mare moon right now thought and the two quickly rushed back out of the medical bay followed by a number of ready diamond dogs. They stopped just outside the door, when they realised it had been blown back open and there was a pile of dead diamond dogs before it.

“No my Orbs of harmony!”

The they all rushed inside and saw that the room had been emptied of Night mare moon’s collection. Blueblood immediately burst into the sky and looked around for any sign of Trixie.

“Blueblood!” yelled Night mare moon still inside her chamber. “I want that little slug back here pronto with my Orbs of harmony, all five of them. If you don’t do that, I will hold you responsible for this!”

“Yes my lady!” Blueblood rocketed right off to find Trixie.

Night mare moon turned to the diamond dogs at attention and screamed at one. “You! This situations getting too out of hand, I want the Shadowbolts!”

“Th-the Shadowbolts? Isn’t that a little unnecessary? Like-.”

Night mare moon fired out an energy blast and the diamond dog was instantly wiped out and made the other diamond dogs tremble. “I am not in the mood to have my orders questioned with! I want the shadowbolts! And I want them here now! You get them!”

The indicated diamond dog rushed to it.

Night mare moon now boiled in anger about what had just happened. “I want infinite power and I want it now! The Shadowbolts will fix all of this!”

Flew over the sky, Pinkie Pie and Spike both held the Orb radar and stared at it as they went forward.

“If this is right, the Orb of harmony should be right-.” Spike was about to point down at the ground, but choked at what they both saw beneath them. On the ground were slaughtered pegasi all brought down by an attack. “Here.”

“We’re too late.”

“We’re too late to save them you mean. But not in vain, it looks like on the radar that the Orb of harmony is still here. They probably hid it before their murderers came looking for it. Now we can retrieve it and hopefully not only revive our friends, but them as well.”

Pinkie Pie rubbed a tear out from her face and tried to say in her normal high tone. “You’re right.”

“Okay, it looks like they dumped it in that lake, let’s go.”

The two then dived right into the waters and swam in. They swam low against the hard cloud surface and through its depths. It was difficult to see with how colourful these waters were, but were able to hold up the radar to follow where the orb was. Eventually, Spike’s head bonked against, what he found out, was the orb. The two grabbed together and emerged back out.

“We found it!” They shouted and hugged one another, while they still held the orb.

“Yes, we’re going to bring everyone back at this rate!” said Pinkie Pie.

“I know we will.” Spike stared at the orb and whispered to himself. “Hold on Rainbow Dash, we’ll bring you back, I swear it.”

Leapt back out from the water. Trixie had used it the conceal herself and have its current carry the Orbs of harmony. She used her magic to drag them out and hid them in the gap of a small hill. Although it was probably not the best, it wouldn’t be exactly easy to find out of all these islands, so Trixie couldn’t really complain.

“Shame you only had four Night mare moon, but it will do. I just need one-.” She her senses were struck up again and she looked up to see propelled across the air with a coloured orb in her hooves was Applejack. “Ask and you shall receive. Although I’m questioned at what she’s doing her, I the great and powerful Trixie, do not really care for now this has become far too easy.”

Trixie then powered up and chased after Applejack in the direction she went.

Sat outside the cave with their heads down, Applebloom and Sweetie Belle were being carefully watched by Rarity who kept her eyes on them and continued to make sure they wouldn’t run off. Heard the sound of something roar through the air though, they looked up and saw Applejack finally return.

“How’s you all doing?” asked Applejack lowered back down.

“Applejack!” cried everyone. Applebloom ran over to hold her sister, while Rarity said. “You retrieved the Orb of harmony.”

“It looks as if things are going are way.”

“Oh, I wouldn’t really say that.”

Recognised that voice, both Applejack and Rarity had their eyes almost popped out from their sockets and slowly moved their heads to look up and see in the air was Trixie.

“I’d say they’re more going my way.” Trixie lowered herself back down onto the ground face-to-face with them. Applebloom and Sweetie Belle knew this wasn’t good and ran behind their sisters. “Fancy meeting you here out in Cloudsdale. Hope you aren’t here for my Orbs of harmony.”

“You’re Orbs of harmony? Partner, if you want these, we’re going to have a fight on our hands!” replied Applejack.

“Oh you certainly don’t want that. Although I can strangely sense you, the one with the hat, is somehow stronger, neither of you will be close to a match for the great and power-.”

Slammed back onto the ground near them, Blueblood waved his hair out of his face and glared at Trixie with a lot of frustration. “Had fun Trixie, I hope so because it will be the last fun you’ll ever have.”

Although Rarity had seen him before, she didn’t have a good look at him. Now entranced by his style, hair and eyes, she forgot about who he was and barked out. “Wow! Is this a prince come to rescue us from the evil Trixie?”

“Um, Rarity, I pretty much doubt he’s here to rescue us,” said Applejack.

Ignored them, Trixie turned to face Blueblood. “Well, well, how did you find me without a scouter?”

“Call it luck, but seriously, I want that Orb of harmony and the rest to be brought back to Night mare moon or else you know what will happen again.”

“Or what, you’ll turn into that big beast again and try to beat me to an inch of my life again, let’s see if you get lucky again.”

“I don’t know what you’re playing out, but hand yourself over or-.”

Trixie had shot on over and punched Blueblood in the cheek and then rolled in the air to double kick him and force him into the air. Blueblood quickly recovered in time to block another one of Trixie’s punches and tried to counter with a flurry of bunches at the unicorns face, but got parried or blocked each time.

“Go! Go! Show that ruffian!”

“Rarity, did you not hear that he’s working for Night mare moon?”

“I bet it’s a misunderstanding, he’s probably a misunderstood soul!”

Trixie had went on the aggression again and did an uppercut punch into Blueblood that made him double over for the unicorn to slam both upper hooves on his head and bash back onto the ground.

“Darn it! You were never this strong before!” Blueblood started to crank himself back onto his hooves.

“I told you, I was hiding my power, even while I was fighting you,” said Trixie back on the ground opposite to him again.

“You shouldn’t have been!”

“Oh but I was. I let you believe I didn’t know about your hidden power and told you I knew where the hidden Orb of harmony was, just so you could think you had beaten me, drag me back to your base and place your guards down, only so I could sneak your Orbs of harmony. I may be unable to beat Night mare moon in a frontal assault for now, but I am much more smarter than she ever will be.”

“That can’t be right! It isn’t right!”

“Applejack, we should go in after him!”

“I never get grownups,” whispered Sweetie Belle over to Applebloom.

“Rarity would you just keep your voice down.”

“If you don’t believe me, Blueblood, then transformed, try and beat me.”

“I will!” shouted Blueblood and did so. His body grew again, his eyes became venomous and his teeth sharpened.

It caused Rarity to scream out. “No! This can’t be! My prince is a hideous monster!”

“Now to kill you! I’ll just find the Orbs of harmony myself without you!”

Blueblood dashed over to Trixie, but he was knocked aside by a slap to the face and kicked in the chin. Blueblood tried to hit back with a swipe, but Trixie ducked underneath and then rammed her head into his chest and as result her horn impaled through his chest and released blood over Trixie’s hair.

“Cough, wait- Trixie! You don’t have to do this!”

“Oh but I do, but it was nice of what you said while I was in the healing pod, I the great and powerful Trixie, will remember that about you at least.”

Blueblood exploded in one go. When the smoke cleared, Trixie emerged clean of him, even her hair had been removed of his blood. She now approached the heroes with a smirk across her face.

“Now as I was saying, you don’t want to cross me, you saw what I just did, plus are those two little sisters I see? They look just like you, be a shame if we started fighting and they were, oh I don’t know, killed in the crossfire.”

The two earth ponies were braced to fight her, but were snapped out of it when the two sisters brushed up against them scared. Rarity then turned to Applejack and said. “Do it.”

“What!”

“Trust me, I can’t explain it to you right now, but just hand the Orb of harmony.”

Applejack glared back at Trixie. She growled as Trixie wouldn’t get that smirk off her face. Moved one upper leg, she tapped its hoof against the orb and kicked it over to Trixie.

“A wise decision.” Trixie used her magic to lift the Orb of harmony. “The great and powerful Trixie likes to see such wise choices that I may make you both my chief servants once I rule with infinite power for helping me. But for now, I will leave to make my wish, but do not follow me or otherwise, I’ll come back here to let’s say hand the consequence over to your sisters.”

Before Applejack and Rarity changed their stances, Trixie boosted off and left.

“Mind telling me why we just handed Trixie the last Orb of harmony she needed?”

“Because, Spike and Pinkie Pie went to find one that was left all on its own on the Orb radar. There’s still hope. If they come back here, we have one Orb again and she can’t make her wish.”

“Yeah, but now we need to think of a way to get the rest off her.”

“Be glad it’s her rather than Night mare moon.”

All four of them looked onwards now concerned of what was to happen next.
