Whack your Assistant!

“Maybe a dozen or so tests and then I’ll take a break for the day,” Twilight said with a soft sigh as she rubbed her forehead to try and snuff out the images that were stuck in her mind.

“Twilight?” Spike asked her as the spell ended and once again Spike stood alive and… mostly well in front of her. “You look a bit under the weather you ok?”

Twilight said nothing an only stared at her assistant, inspecting his body for signs of any abuse. There was none, yet after each test he could either hold an area from the previous or complain about it. Though he did that, he never brought up any of the previous testing pain.

“Spike, does your butt feel a bit sore?” Twilight asked making sure to confirm her little theory.

“Uhhh, yeah… a bit, why?” Spike said after he took a second to let her words hit him.

“Figured. Could you open your mouth and breathe heavy for me?” Twilight asked as she got closer to him.

Spike did so, and though he started to feel very sore all over, he opened his mouth and breathed.

“Hmm, not the best breath but I don’t smell any bleach at least,” Twilight said with a sign as she started to realize each test she did was neutralizing the previous one.

“Uh, Twi, no offense but no one in their right mind would drink bleach,” Spike said with a chuckle as he pulled away.

“I know, but I need to stop wasting time considering the spell only allows for small intervals,” Twilight’s words died down and failed to reach the young dragon’s ears. “Spike, go down stairs and get me a watermelon!”

“Oh! You hungry? Sure I’ll be right back,” Spike replied as he turned for the door and started to limp run towards it. “Oh man, why does body hurt so much?”

Twilight said nothing and looked to her dwindling pile of scrolls.

“I wish these scrolls had a bit more power to them. I can only go back three minutes at the most. I may have to start using two scrolls every test just to make sure I arrive before the time I kill him,” Twilight said to herself as she got herself ready to try a spell. “Ugh, that means I’ll have less scrolls to use in the long run! Spike! Hurry up!”

Thankfully Spike didn’t take long and scampering back up the stairs with a watermelon in hand, Spike gave her his friend a soft yet confused smile.

“Good, now sit down and open your mouth,” Twilight said as she grabbed the melon with her magic and crushed it in order to get at the seeds inside.

“Ughh, why?” Spike answered a bit worried.

Twilight said nothing and gave him a cold glare before wrapping one seed in magic and shooting it down his throat.

“Urk! Twilight what was that for?” Spike asked almost choking on the seed.

“This,” Twilight replied as her horn grew brighter with magic. “Hope it doesn’t hit your stomach acid.”

“What are you,”

Spike stopped himself as he felt a rumble in his gut and felt something starting to grow inside of him.

“H-hey, Twi? Are you making the seed grow?” Spike asked in a worried tone as he placed his hands to his stomach and throat.

“I’m seeing how much pressure your body can withstand,” Twilight said as she indeed made the seed grow in age. “Once your body explodes from pressure I’ll move onto another test.”

“Wait! What are you doing!? Why are you trying to make me explode!? Why are you going to kill me!?” Spike said as he got up and tried to burp the seed out before it got too big.

“Can you not whine? This makes testing much more harder for me,” Twilight said, continuously pouring magic into her spell.

“But you’re going to kill me!” Spike screamed as he felt his stomach starting to expand, making him feel very bloated.

Twilight ignored her whiny assistant the best she could as she quickly made the watermelon seed big enough to make him inflate like a balloon, Though the stomach acid would start to eat away at it quickly, Twilight put a surge of magic into her and Spike’s body quickly turned into the size of one of Pinkie’s clones from when she used the mirror pool.

“Tw… hur… me,” Spike spoke from his bloated as he felt his stomach tear and the watermelon started to crush every vital organ in his body. First his stomach bursted causing the sensation of deja view for Spike as he felt his insides starting to get eaten. While that happened the melon continued to grow, crushing his lungs, and causing his spine to start shifting uncomfortably thanks to the way it was growing. He felt bones snap in his body and once his spine snapped, Spike lost all feeling below his neck. In a way it was a boon, considering the next few seconds his intestines started to feel the effects of the stomach acid or simply started to come out of his ass like a tube of frosting. For a few brief seconds, his body just rolled on the spot, until Twilight put another surge of energy into him and his body gave out by exploding and caking the room in blood, guts, gore, and even chunks of watermelon.

“Damn,” Twilight said as she blinked and wiped the blood and guts away on her face before looking around at the horrific scene. “For a little guy, he sure had a lot of guts,”

Twilight accidentally humored herself and a soft chuckle left her throat before she caught it and stopped.

“Even with my memory wiped, I feel like a should ask mom if she can sign me up with her therapist in Canterlot,” Twilight said very hastily as her eye and mouth twitched.

She gave the room one last look and the only thing that happened differently was a chuck of intestine fell from the ceiling and landed with a wet smack on the floor.

“Eeyup, therapy will be needed,” Twilight said as she grabbed her notes and began to write.

Death experiment number 6…

Twilight thought for a second before another amusing thought hit her decaying mind.

Pop goes the balloon! Victim’s death was most likely a very painful one as his body slowly expanded and the sound of his bones cracking echoed in my ears. From the amount of magic I injected into my spell, I actually exhausted part of myself more than I thought I would have. Even with the increase in magic in my system, high level elite spells like age pro… reg… age growth are still exhausting to do. In short inflating a watermelon seed in a dragon isn’t the best way to try and kill it. Sure the victim will feel a world of pain, but the spell usage and time to cast it will not make it a good weapon for war. Strange, when Trixie used the spell it was almost instant but when I used it, it took time.

“hmm, well considering her magic was being powered up by dark magic In the amulet…” Twilight said as she pondered a thought. “It will be something to think about.”

Twilight folded the note and grabbed a scroll before hitting it quickly.

“Time reset!”
