Now And Then, Here And There - Twilight's Short Version
1 - Expelliarmus: The Disarming Charm
Load Full StoryNext ChapterOne day, Twilight Sparkle was practicing dueling like in Harry Potter's Defense Against The Dark Arts. The unnamed professor instructed her to use the spell Expelliarmus to disarm, and only to disarm, her opponent, a nondescript human wizard. Twilight and her opponent walked up close, then to both ends on the room's platform. Then the professor signaled a countdown: "A one..." Twilight began to charge up her horn like the Mega Buster in the Megaman games, making Megaman X's charging sound. "...A two...A THREE!"
Twilight yelled "EXPELLIARMUS!" and fired a large white sphere of energy from her horn. As her opponent got hit, he dropped his wand and flew into the wall, smashing it and leaving behind a hole shaped like him. She was then criticized for excessive force and trying to imitate X. "You clearly play way too much Megaman X. Now let's try this again. A one...A two...A three!"
Twilight gave Expelliarmus another try, but this time, she didn't charge her horn buster before shooting another wizard's wand out of his hand. The professor was surprised she wasn't overconfident this time. "Twilight, you have passed basic instruction on this disarming charm. Now I have an assignment for you to make sure you've mastered it: A blue-haired plot device girl has been spotted in my park. She apparently isn't from here, and that probably means some really nasty beings might come after her. Make sure she isn't taken, and don't get taken with them either."
Twilight went off to the park to carry out the task, knowing that this would be a physical battle rather than a mental one.
