Part 4 - Nightmare Trickster

Previous Chapter

"This Night is over."

Luna rushed at Trixie blasting her with her Night spells. Trixie was too fast and backhoofed Luna in the face and blasted her away. Luna fell onto the ground with her horn burnt from the blast. She could feel tears streaming down as Twilight Sparkle rushed to her aid. "Luna! Don't give up already!" she said.

"Don't worry about me, worry about Trixie," Luna softly replied.

Shining Star looked at Trixie. "Looks like we'll have to do this the hard way." The Cutie Mark Crusaders got in front of Shining Star and then rushed at Trixie. "You really think you can beat me? I am stronger now." She cut Scootaloo off course giving Sweetie Belle enough time to make a crystal shard fly into the air and Apple Bloom enough time to be ready to ram her. Trixie took care of Scootaloo easily (causing her to pass out) and then stopped Apple Bloom using her magic. Her tail got shortened by the shard's point that she gave out a yell and lose control of her powers. A mountain on the other side of Equestria erupted, a pig was given wings, and she fired a blast at Sweetie Belle making her dizzy and pass out. "Colts and Mares, I am Nightmare Trickster," she announced.

Shining Star had sweat rolling down his mane. "Celestia raises the sun, Luna raises the moon. What could I raise to save Equestria?" Before he could answer himself, Trixie knocked him straight into the air. He used his wings to control where he'll fly. His horn lit up as he flew higher into the sky. A star was being raised at the same time. Everypony gasped.

"Is that...? Could it be...? What the hay? Beautiful! 20% COOLER! Is that the...?"

Shining Star nodded. "The North Star rises again." Trixie was not impressed. "Do whatever you want. It won't help you." Shining Star then tapped his Element of Harmony. "FULL CHARGE!" He suddenly flied down at Trixie real fast and struck her faster than she can use her magic.

"I'm more than just your average pony
I give my care so suddenly."

Shining Star and Trixie traded blows for a while. "Shining Star is not holdin' back," Applejack said.

"Indeed," Rarity replied. "He seems to be taking this as a threat to everypony and is using his anger to his advantage."

"Then why'd he raise that star?" Twilight asked. Luna got up and said, "It was his birthstar of course."

"What the hay does that even mean?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"I'll explain later." Shining Star launched Trixie into the air and put his front hooves out like he was gonna fly, but fired a blast straight at Trixie. Trixie dodged out of the way and dived at him. Shining Star dodged at the last second causing Trixie to fall hard and make a crater. "Lucky shot..." Shining Star then tackled Trixie locking her into place. "Twilight, NOW!" Twilight Sparkle and the rest of the Mane Six put on their Elements of Harmony. The six suddenly levitated into the air and had a Rainbow Aura surround them. "FIRE!" Twilight exclaimed as a rainbow went straight for Trixie. Shining Star dodged out of the way in time.

"GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!"

Trixie turned back to normal seriously damaged from the fight. Shining Star turned into his normal form really tired. The Cutie Mark Crusaders woke up and shook off the pain. "Any longer and we would've had to get extra help from Celestia," Scootaloo said. Trixie suddenly woke up with sadness in her eyes. "I-I'm sorry Twilight Sparkle..."

Twilight Sparkle smiled. "I forgive you. You did one thing right today. You scared everypony on this frightening night." It was true. Every pony in Ponyville big and small was scared that night without any warning at all. But somehow, they knew it was originally supposed to be a prank until it suddenly got too out of hand. Trixie just sat in the crater thinking to herself. Why? Why does everything backfire so badly on poor, little Trixie? Trixie stood back up silent for a moment, then turned away. "This will be the last you'll see me try to be even with you Twilight."

"Don't say that!" Twilight quickly said. "I really enjoy you trying to be as great as I am. If you have a great mind, you can accomplish anything."

"A great mind..." Trixie then smiled. "I'll spend the rest of Nightmare Night with you ponies." The ponies cheered. "Thanks Trixie," Twilight said.

The night went on as a great holiday, but when it was time to raise the sun, Luna and Shining Star worked together to lower the moon and stars. Trixie walked back home, thanking them for the great night. Shining Star then said to himself, "I guess another holiday has come and gone."
