Loki - Rebirth of Deception

“It looks similar to library in Ponyville.” Said Loki when he entered Loki´s and Twilight´s home. It was nice house, with two floors, loads of books everywhere and seperated room, with alchemy equipment.

First he looked to all rooms and in one, that looked like Twilight´s, found her diary. Even though it was against his principles, he read newest stuff, so he knew more about situation in human world.

“Dear diary, today there was photographer in our school. Girls said that they will definitely make one. Too bad I couldn´t come to school today. Damn flu.” Said one of the newest notes.

Loki continued reading.

“Dear diary, today we will fly to the Europe with Loki. I am so excited to learn more about North mythology. I hope nothing will happen, while we´re gone. Applejack looked kinda sad today, maybe I should go ask her what´s wrong. But I guess that it´s just that Loki is going away.”

“Looks like there isn´t anything useful.” Whispered and closed the little book. “I should go to school. Maybe there will be some informations about that robber.”

Before he left, Loki also took Twilight´s phone, that was lying next to diary and before getting into school, he tryied to find out, how does it work.

Inside he realized that this school is filled with human versions of Ponyville citizens. Carefuly dodged all students, until he bumped into somebody.

“I am sorry, I---Twilight?!” all his plans crumbled when he saw Twilight in front of him. Even though she was human too, he recognized her hair.

“Loki?”

“Yes, it´s me. Come on, we have to talk.” Grabbed her hand and drag her somewhere peaceful.

“What are you doing here? Didn´t I said in my letter, that this is not world for ponies?” asked flustrated.

“Yes, you did, but we couldn´t let you go alone, besides it´s my crown and my responsibility.”

“Whatever, you´ll see it yourself. Did Celestia tell you something about that pony?”

“Yes, her name is Sunset Shimmer, she has gold and red mane and is her former student.”

“Is that so? Well since you are here, we should go find our friends.”

“Yes, we should.”

“From what I know, they all should be friends here too, so it should be comparatively easy.”

Two friends asked few people and soon found Pinkie Pie, unfortunately she seemed to dislike her friends. Without knowing why, Loki with Twilight searched for others, but everybody looked angry on each other.

“What will we do?” asked Twilight.

“You are talented in making friends, so try figure out, what happened, I will find Sunset Shimmer and take back your Element.”

“She doesn´t have it. Fluttershy gave it to principal Celestia, so I want to win my crown back.”

“Well, I can´t really help with that, so after school, I´ll show you where you can sleep and if something will go wrong, I´ll solve this myself.”

Since then, Loki just watched Twilight´s actions from distance. He saw, everything that Sunset Shimmer did to her and wondered what to do. Next day Twilight became princess of that school, Loki gladly saw that all girls are friends again, he didn´t talk to others at all, they propably didn´t even know, that he was there. Just thinking about talking with Applejack like this – like somebody who she loves, but also like somebody who is from another world, was uncomfortable.

As he expected, Sunset took a hostage - Spike. Loki was standing in shadows of gym room, when all girls rushed to save him.

I have to protect them.

Their way blocked wall made of crystals and completely blocked their path, they couldn´t go back either.

“Sorry it has to be this way, but she is too dagerous.”

“Loki, is that you? What happened with your hair, why aren´t you in Europe and what are these crystals?” Applejack asked.

“I am and I am not Loki at the same time. Sunset Shimmer is dangerous with Element of Harmony, so you´ll just stay here and let me take care of things.”

He turned around and started walking away through the crystals, like it was nothing.

Element of Chaos slighly shined.

“This is not your way of doing things Loki. You never go straight, what about your love for deception?”

He stopped.

“Deception became useless, in that very second you started to be in danger.”

So he walked away and saw Sunset Shimmer waiting near the portal with sledge hammer.

“This nonsence has to stop. Give me the Element of Harmony and I will not kill you.” While he was talking his eyes glowed with rainbow color, same as the Element of Chaos.

“Oh, so you are that redneck´s boyfriend aren´t you? Is Twilight Sparkle too scared? Too bad for you, because now I possess the greatest power in the world.” She said and put the crown on her head. Right after that she turned into a demon and destroyed part of school.

But before she could cause even more damage, a ring of grey crystals created barrier in shape of ball around them and flew to the air.

“I will not allow any further destruction here. And seemingly I have to teach you a lesson about not talking bad about Applejack in front of me!” said and fired at her several sharp gems, but they all burned before they get to her.

“This will be fun.”

XXXXXXXXX

“Damn Loki! What is up with him?” said Rainbow Dash and angrily kicked to the wall, but without success.

“I really don´t know, lies and ilusions were always his way of doing things. And what did he meant by that - I am and I am not Loki at the same time-?”

“He is also from pony world.” Said Twilight. “I don´t know what should be with his hair, but in our world was Loki very powerful unicorn, that means that he could do magic. But he became earth pony when he tryied to protect us with his own body. I think that he is still angry about it. It´s bad from me to say that, but I think that he is addicted to it. Only thing that´s protecting him from going insane by fear is love of his Applejack.”

“Addicted? What do you mean by that?”

“In our world he always used both magic and deception. I worry that he doesn´t know how to use one thing without another.”

“But what about these crystals?”

“It´s just power of weapon that he created. It´s not truly his.” She would continue, but Pinkie interrupted her.

“Look! The wall is crumbling!”

Really. Beatiful gems were full of cracks and one strong kick from RD shattered them.

Six girls ran outside of school to find Loki. Seemingly whatever was happening to him, he still won.

First thing they saw oustide was giant ball made of same stuff like their wall, it was also cracked and slowly falling apart. Besides tons of crystals, girls saw body falling straight to ground.

Body with black and green hair.

“Loki!” screamed Applejack terrified and rushed to the place where trickster fell.

“Oh my God…” whispered Twilight, when they catched up.

Loki´s clothes were soaked with blood. Applejack pulled up his shirt and started crying. His chest crisscrossed deep wounds. He wasn´t dead, but according to amout of blood what he lost, there was no way he could survive.

“Don´t worry, I´ll take care of him. Now go to others help them defeat Sunset.” Whispered a voice to AJ´s ear.

“Who…” unknown person just grabbed her arm, picked her up and pushed to others.

Applejack for some reason didn´t cry anymore. She recognized that voice. Loki.

XXXXXXXXXX

“Damn idiot. He let that thing to possess him.” Whispered black haired Loki to Twilight standing next to him.

“Can you save him?”

“I hope.” He took from his other self necklace. Even thought it´s owner was dying, that thing still shined with rainbow. Ugly rainbow, not beatiful like that natural.

“He wouldn´t use this, if that couldn´t save him.” Whispered and stared at the necklace, when suddenly a grey hand grasped his.

“Power…of word. That´s the key!” said hurt Loki quietly. After that he coughed some blood and lost consciousness, maybe forever.

“Power of word? You should follow it and this wouldn´t happen!”

“What is he talking about?” asked Twilight, who was trying to stop bleeding.

“His filosophy.”

Black haired Loki stood up and holded the necklace above Loki´s body.

“One word can give you all courage. One word can turn your greatest joy into the worst nightmare.”

Immediately after he said that the gem cracked and all the power inside was unleashed. Rainbow of chaotic colors a while circled above Loki´s body and then embraced it.

But that wasn´t all. Power of chaos didn´t seem to do anything, but Loki´s body did. Green lanes in his hair started to shine like sun itself. So much, that two people near had to cover their eyes. Green energy poured from depths of trickster´s body and navigated the chaos to come inside. Like guide.

Then therw was silence.

From dying lights came out a person with blood-soaked clothes and black and green hair.

“So you have come.” Said Loki from pony world to his other self, like nothing happened.

“How couldn´t I? But I have to say, that I am very dissapointed with you.”

Healed Loki didn´t say anything.

“You let that thing to possess you, and most important, you disgraced the word –deception- itself!”

“Just shut up, you have no idea, how it is in our world without magic!”

“Yes. I don´t know, but I know for sure that it´s not a reason to become so pathetic!”

“What did you say?”

“You heard me! You are Loki! If you lost your magic then find something else. Using words. Words are the strongest thing in the world, they can destroy, or create anything. By giving up, before trying you just become coward.”

“Just shut up.” He smiled. “Is being honest like you are right now the way tricksters act?” they both smiled. “Thank you. I don´t need this garbage, with my intelignce and my friends, I will find a power much more stronger than this!” finished and stomped on pieces of Element of Chaos.

Soon the girls finished fight with Sunset Shimmer, defeated her and Applejack happily hugged both Lokis.

“How did you two get here? Shouldn´t you be in Europe?”

“This pile of misery send me an SMS, about what was happening here. I couldn´t just leave you alone.”

After this all friends went on party, to cheer up, before Loki and Twilight will go back to their world. Later black haired Loki took his other self to a peaceful part of room, so he could speak to him.

“About that part, where your toy healed you. It wasn´t just it, there is something else in your body. I can´t say what, but I know two things. If something is magic, then this power is surely something even more. The second thing is…it is active now. That power somehow unlocked itself. So be careful.”

A while before midnight all friends gathered in front of the portal. And after farewell, Loki and Twilight returned back home, where they were welcomed by their pony friends.

Loki looked at the mirror and saw black haired pony with green eyes came out.

The both smiled.

“What is so funny?” asked Applejack.

Loki looked on the mirror again, but nopony was there.

“Nothing, I am just really happy to be back.”

Soon they returned to Ponyville and that night Loki had nightmare again. Same one.
