Boasting Ain't Very Effective

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

I woke up today with my legs dangling over the other edge of the bed. I got up and felt the pain of making my legs bend backwards. I recast my transformation magic. Because my casting isn't a very powerful version it'll turn back at the end of the day. My alicorn form rather fitting for me. A cool blue coat with a yellow piercing eye and red one with a design staring back. My black and blue hair in its usual bed head. Knock Knock..." Are you awake in there!" Twilight called out to me and opened the door.

"I never said I was awake or decent, Twilight." I told her trying to make a blush appear.

"Fallen, we never wear clothes and it's ten O'clock, you should be up by now," Damn she's good.

"What's going on today?" I asked.

"Well we never got to pick up the groceries from what happened yesterday," Well I know what we'll try to do today.

"Alright let's head out, we need to be able to eat!" my stomach rumbling as I said it. "Can we eat first though?" Twilight giggled as I said this.

"Alright, Fallen come on," WOO-HOO LUNCH!

We walked out with Spike following us at the promise of lunch. Spike told me along the way about the magic Twilight could cast. Psssh only 25 tricks I've got over 200 then again I'm OP. As we walked Spike was crashed into by two young colts.

"Whoa, those two have somewhere important to be," I said knowing I probably wouldn't get lunch today. Spike walked back towards us with the two young colts.

"Snips and Snails said there was a new unicorn in town." Spike reported to us with the colts behind us.

"Yeah and she's the most magical unicorn in Ponyville," The tall one said this load of bull.

"No all of Equestria!" And this one said even more.

"Well where is this unicorn?" I asked.

"She's in the town square, Come on!" Both the colts said and ran at the same time.

We walked towards the town square behind the colts. I'm disappointed that I probably won't get lunch, I haven't eaten in 1000 years.

"Welcome everypony to the show of the great and powerful, Trixie!" The blue mare jumped out onto the stage wearing a wizard cloak and hat. Show off. A bunch of fireworks and other random magical abilities being shown off at random times.

"I don't believe her," I said.

"Me neither, we both know Twilight is the most magical unico-o-orn. Oh Uh Hi, Rarity. MUSTACHE!" Spike started off strong and ended like my hunted dinners.

"Well it seems that we have some neigh sayers in the audience. Who dares to challenge The Great And Powerful, Trixie!" More fireworks went off. "How about hmmm you," She pointed to Applejack "Little hayseed," Trixie said this and sneered.

"That's it I'm gonna show ya!" Applejack got beaten. I was too focused on how I would have to get lunch after this. I look up to see her hogtied and bouncing away.

"Alright that's it! You can't just come here and show off like you're the best!" Rainbow said and flew towards Trixie.

"Oh yeah?" Trixie provoked her further.

"That's my job," She flew into the wind mill spun it around and went through the clouds. She went back down through the clouds. Droplets following her and when she landed on stage the droplets collided with her and created a mini-rainbow. I get it Rainbow-Dash.

"When I'm through with you the only thing they'll call you is loser," Trixie cast a spell on the rainbow and spun Dash around until she was lying on the ground. Trixie also cast a spell to send a lightning bolt on her I jumped in the way before it hit here. I got severely hurt as my persona equipped was weak to lightning. That's not an encouraging present.

"We need another unicorn to tussle with Trixie. A real unicorn to unicorn tussle," Spike said this and Applejack agreed.

"Rarity gets your hint, but Rarity is above Rainbow dash's and Applejack's rough housing," god she started talking like Trixie.

"What's wrong worried you'll get a hair out of place in that rats nest of a mane?"Trixie taunted her.

"Oh It Is On! A unicorn should act with humility and grace," Trixie needs to learn that. Rarity cast a spell as she finished her speech. She took the curtains and turned them into a dress and styled her mane perfectly.

"Rarity won't let Trixie show her up she's beautiful and kind and,"Spike said this as Trixie cast a spell on Rarity.

Oh shit that looks like a nasty green color. Ar-are there rat tails in that gross. "What did she do to my hair, I know she did something to my hair!"

"It's wonderful,"

"It's lovely,"

"It's green," Both Spike and I said this at the same time. "What?" Rarity ran off the stage and I told Spike to go and comfort her.

"I have only one question before I challenge you. What have you done to be air quote The great and powerful end air quote Trixie?" I said.

"Why only Trixie has been able to defeat the great Ursa Major!" A "Spectacular" show of lights was shown as Trixie explained or actually made up. The two colts said she was the most magical and powerful unicorn ever and I stopped paying attention until everypony stopped speaking.

"Alright so to start off let's go for transformation magic," I said.

"But nopony can use that magic!" Trixie said.

I cast a spell using my horn and changed to a human my organization 13 cloak on. "Well how about this can you stop me?" Trixie cast magic at me and I swatted it away with a single hand. "You need more powerful magic than that to stop my magic," I said this and Trixie cast a spell to make ten duplicates of herself. I put my index and middle fingers in a cross. "Kage-bushin-no Jutsu," I made 30 complete clones.

"This isn't possible!" Trixie yelled this at me.

"Well there was no way you'd stop the boss cause he's an alicorn," My clone said.

"Your an alicorn!" She exclaimed.

"Cats out of the bag, yup I'm an alicorn so all this proves is an alicorn is more powerful than you," I said.

"Then that means, Trixie is still the most powerful unicorn ever. Could you remove that transformation spell now?" She asked me.

"Oh that was just to change back to my original form. I'm an alicorn, human and dragon oh and just to let you know those are only the forms I mastered," I whispered this so only she could hear revealing my transformations.

"That's all, Trixie will do for today, Trixie is tired and needs her rest," Trixie said this and closed up the caravan.

"God she is so annoying," I said to everypony in earshot, Including her. She gave me the second worst glare, thorough a window mind her, I've seen minus Fluttershy's stare. "Can I get lunch now Twilight?" I asked Twilight knowing fully well it was time.

"Alright Fallen let's go," She sighed after this probably because I only think of food after 1000 years in stone. "Why do you have that hood up?"

"Well remember when I first came into town and I was a really big asshole. Yeah they probably remember my face so no hood down for now. I also can't transform back if that's what you were gonna ask me," I told her and totally predicted what she'd ask after that.

"Alright so how many bits do you have if we're going to lunch?" She asked the important money question.

"What are these things you call bits?" I asked genuinely intrigued.

"What money, Do you have?"

"Oh here," I handed her a bag full of the money of my time before stone. "The money you hold is called a moon and depending on what size it is it's a different name. Some are full moons others could be quarters and some are slivers," As everyone knows size matters.

"This is amazing!" Oh shit did Celestia never reveal the money back then well she did send Luna to the moon and that would directly correlate with that knowledge. "We always thought bits were used as currency back then, but now I have the means to prove other wise!"

"Oh shit that means all of my money doesn't work! Guess you'll have to pay for all of lunch," She almost dropped the bag at hearing that. "Oh and were here time to order food!" I sat down cross legged and picked up a menu and after a few moments Twilight sat too. I ordered food and kept ordering and ordering and ordering until stacks of plates rose high. "Do you have anymore?"

"Sir you've cleaned out the kitchen." The waiter said I'm surprised he's still standing there holding a bored look. "The bill will be about 100,000 bits,"

"I only have 300 bits for the groceries," Twilight said this looking at me as if I ate a horse well at least she wasn't there that one time. I pulled out one large bag from my kamui, cause I didn't want Twilight to pay for my appetite. "You said you only had that old money!" She was slightly pissed.

"I was joking, Celestia exchanged most of my moons into bits so I actually had money. Don't ask me how many bits I actually have cause I don't even know," I said knowing that wasn't the case I mean after all who would notice 100,000 new bits now in circulation.

We went over to get groceries for the house and walked back talking magical theory to each other. Mostly about what had been found out in the last 1000 years. "So your saying that if you can charge your magic into a crystal any spells cast on it will retain onto it depending on how powerful the magic how much of it and how many spells are cast on it?"

"And how complex the spell itself is cast that's why it's not commonly used for earth ponies and pegasai. Oh we're here," She stated my missing part.

"Alright I'll put these up and you can study on the ursas," I said.

"Why?" Twilight asked me.

"Okay just do it knowing my luck somepony's gone to bring one into town," My head said this was sound and I thought so too. "I'm also gonna give you a test on it and send the results into Celestia," I knew that would get her studying. Knowing my luck I was right.

I finally put away all the groceries and heard Spike came into the house huffing and puffing. "Twilight, Fallen Major problem. Ursa major problem to be exact!" Fuck I was right. I stood up and charged a bit of magic for later. I pulled two swords from my kamui and strapped them on.

"Twilight come on I'm not gonna stop this alone," We all walked out to see two large starry bears approaching the town. One was purple the other blue.

"Fallen we need to separate them and return them home,"

"No way, Twilight I know for a fact the universe needs them to be destroyed. I'm the one who had a problem in causing it and I'll tell you later," I jumped towards the bears and yelled at Twilight. "Subdue the blue one I'll go for the purple one!"

The bears were right in front of me and Twilight was behind me in a few minutes. The bears stood there as if perplexed that someone stood in their way. "I don't want to hurt them," I felt guilty knowing both had to die.

"Just make that one fall asleep I'll finish it off,"

"Why can't we put them back home?"

"They'll just come back later if we do they will remember the path,"

"But!"

"No, Magic this needs to be done," I got serious for a minute and didn't use her name. She started to cast a spell on the blue one.

"Ya know bear I had thought I was done fighting after the stone and melding. I'm sorry it has to be this way. If you hadn't come here you would have lived a longer life," I pulled out my swords and threw one at it's legs it got pissed and began to attack me. As I deftly dodged it's massive paws Twilight finished putting the small one to sleep. I jumped back and made my fingers into a small hole and blew fire from it. The bear got singed but nothing bad happened to it. One of it's paws swung at me and hit where I was standing only to hit air as I had activated the transportation jutsu. The bear got more pissed as it realized it couldn't hit me after hitting the ground repeatedly.

"Kage-Bushin-No jutsu," I made several clones and we all spit fire balls at him. He didn't take any severe damage. I put my hand onto my stomach and turned it my body flickered yellow and some black lines appeared. All my clones did the same. "Hey, Twilight put up your strongest barrier spell now," She did as instructed and I jumped into the air with all my clones. "Tailed Beast Bomb!" Many versions of a yellow Kurama appeared and shot out their own bomb. The bear was injured enough now that it knew it wouldn't get out of here scot free. I ran out of chackra though and all my clones disappeared.

The bear took it's chance and swatted me to the side. I flew back to Twilight with several broken bones in the arm the ursa smashed. I held out my good hand and crushed a card. "Diarahan," My limbs went back into place and I stepped back up.

"Stop this now we can get the princesses here soon just stop!" She cried as she said it looking at me. I felt like an asshole for getting back to the ursa. I snapped my fingers once more and pulled down my hood. Every single blade and gun I had was at my side and above my head. My sharingan pierced through the night. I grabbed a random sword and threw it at the ursa. It hit straight through it's paw and stuck that one into the ground. I continued with another and did the same with it's other front paw.

The Ursa tried to move away from me but it's paws wouldn't move from where they were stuck in the ground. I threw another sword at it's eye and blinded it. The ursa blinded roared at me trying to intimidate me. It pulled a paw out of the ground and swung at me once again. I stopped it with one hand this time. I rose my other and moved it in a chopping motion the blades at my right moved in much the same way. The blades cut off the paw. It roared in horror as it lifted the paw-less arm black blood gushing out.

I looked back to see most of the town next to Twilight all looking away. I need to protect them even if they hate me. I raised both of my hands and threw them at the ursa all the blades I had went straight through the ursa. As the ursa fell down it was falling apart. The smell of blood seeped into the air. The parts of the ursa were wriggling. I walked over to the baby ursa that was unconscious.

Fluttershy stood in front of it. "How dare you!" I stared back at her and she started to falter. I raised my hand and threw a blade at her and the ursa. It went past her and through the other ursa. It howled in pain and I sent another blade to cut it's head apart. It went clean through and Fluttershy flew away very fast.

I walked back to the big ursa and put it into my kamui after I had done it to the baby. All my blades went back into the kamui too except for two. As I walked back to Twilight everypony into town cowered in fear. "Never follow me again," I told her this which made her look at me. Our gaze holding longer then need be, I walked off into the Everfree.

///Twilight's POV\\

"Never follow me again," I looked up into his eyes. I could see the eyes of a murderer, but I could look past that and see he was almost as sad I was. He walked straight into the Everfree Forest. I moved to go after him but my friends stopped me.

"I've got to help him!"

"You weren't going alone Twilight I'm coming with you," Rainbow said this.

"We'll hold down the fort and tell Spike. You two go help him. He had his reasons to do that," Applejack gave us the okay and all my friends nodded knowing they had to calm the citizens from a riot.

"We'll be back soon,"

"Ah know you will," I knew exactly what she meant by that. We'll come back most definitely.

We walked deep into the Everfree Forest. "So where would he go?" Rainbow asked me and I had an idea.

"Let's go to the old castle of the pony sisters," Rainbow nodded at this and we went over to the old castle. We walked into the castle and heard rustling in the staircase from below. "Let's go," We walked down the decrepit stone staircase. The rustling grew louder the further we went.

As we reached close to the bottom we heard Fallen talking. " Oh shut up Kurama I know I screwed up big time but you know what would have happened if that bear was left alive for much longer. It would have torn the fabric of reality and I'm the one who made it happen. yes it's not as if I didn't know that. Well they all hate me now anyway,"

we walked into the room behind him "We don't hate you. But we wished you didn't do that," I said telling him how the group felt.

"You don't but the town does. I can't live here peacefully at all so I'll see you some time. Your lives will be much better off without me here," He said this and walked towards a clean fresh mirror.

"Don't I WON'T LET YOU LEAVE," I yelled this. It scared me to think he'd leave.

"If you won't let me then I'll force my way through, Magic. You can't stop my decision. This had to happen eventually. Sooner or later. It all depended on if I needed to fight. I did and now it must happen. It was predicted before you were born and Celestia made sure it would go through," He was saying nonsense there was no way Celestia herself would.

"Every prediction can be untrue you can stop this!" I yelled back knowing almost all predictions are phoney.

"The person who made this prediction told me what would happen to my friends. They said I'd go into stone. They predicted Luna's banishment and they predicted you guys. There is no stopping this and if I break it now the world would be torn asunder,"

"They told you you needed to kill those Ursas didn't they," I said catching onto his mysterious reasons to kill the ursas.

"Exactly. I'll probably be back and if I don't come back. Well don't come looking for me," He walked through the mirror and it had cracked. I fell down to my hooves and started to bawl my eyes out.
