Chapters The Trixieverse II: The Other Pony
"Thank you! Thank you for coming to see the wonders of the Great and Powerful Trrrrrixie ! ...and don't forget to leave bits Trixie appreciates it." Trixie said activating her fireworks and making her exit Another successful day for Trixie as usual. She had put on a show, ponies enjoyed it, she repeated the cycle again until she got tired. It was a risky job believe it or not. Not because the dangerous stunts Trixie pulled off, but because of the audience. Some might just enjoy it for the sake of entertainment, or others might take it seriously. "Some" being a little town where Trixie had a little incident that ruined her life until she went back for revenge. That didn't work out so well either. But now Trixie was on somewhat good terms with the town now and have scratched it off her tour list. But now Trixie is "Great and Powerful" once again. Pleasing crowds as well as herself. Having put on a performance she was satisfied. Until one particular day where things got...hectic.
"Another day another, 1234 carry the 10, 20 bits!? Wow Trixie..ahem...I mean "I" have really hit it gold this time." Trixie said as she was counting her bits from her performance. Putting away her stage persona and acting now as herself. It was a bit frustrating to change between the two personas but she got used to it as time went on. "Whoops! What a silly pony I am! Almost forgot to put my coat and hat up. Heh heh. Anand I'm talking to nopony. Fantastic. " Trixie said putting her appeal on their respective racks. Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
"Special delivery for Trixie Lulo...um Luluhbloom?" a voice said behind the door.
"It's Lulamoon please." Trixie said moving from her coat rack to the door. She opened the door to reveal a grey pony with a golden mane.
"Derpy Hooves, mail carrier at your service!" Derpy said with a pose. Trixie stared awkwardly at the mare for quite a while. She was not sure what to do. Derpy still posed as if for a camera,NOT MOVING A MUSCLE.
Hoping to break the silence Trixie said, "So um I heard you had a, err package for me?"
"Yuh-huh!" Derpy cheerfully replied breaking her pose. Derpy reached out to give Trixie a small package the size of a shoebox.
"Thank you I um appreciate it." Trixie said nervously.
"I." Derpy suddenly said.
"Excuse me?" Trixie replied.
"You said "I". Why is that?" Derpy questioned, tilting her head.
"This is how I normally talk." Trixie wandered, "Don't most ponies do?" Derpy shook her head.
"You talk like instead of I or me, you say Trixie. Right?" Derpy asked tilting her head to the other side. Trixie came to a realisation.
"Oh...you must be from Ponyvile huh." Trixie said with a sigh of frustration.
"Yuh-huh." Derpy answered nodding her head. "Also, why were you acting all weird. With the red eyes and the scary 'FOREEEVEEEEEERRRRRS?'" Derpy asked with her best impression of Evil Trixie.
"It's a long story." Trixie sighed. She had hoped to put that whole incident behind her.
"Tell me." Derpy commanded.
"What?" Trixie said befuddled.
"Tell me or you won't get your package." Derpy said playfully.
"Ok. Ok. Ok. Long story short, that town humiliated me a long time ago. It ruined my entire performing career. So I got a little mad." Trixie explained. Derpy sat down like a kindergartener listening to her teacher sing nursery rhymes. "And so I wanted revenge. I saved up my bits and went down to a store selling magical artifacts hoping to find a amulet that would increase my power. But when I got it, my vision blurred. A voice called to me. It was telling me to do horrible things. It convinced me that my stage persona was real. I still had control over my body and speech but, whatever that voice told me to do. I just couldn't resist. The rest is a blur to me until Twilight Sparkle helped get that wretched thing off of me. I thanked her later on and helped her with her little performance to return the favor. But...that experience scarred me for life. I...I still have dreams, no, nightmares about it." Trixie ended her tale with a sigh.
"That was a neat story." Derpy said politely.
"Neat story? That neat story nearly cost me my sa-" but then Trixie stopped her rage and remembered who she was talking to. "So um can I have my package now?" Trixie asked.
"Okay! Oh and just so you know," Derpy looked back at Trixie as she was getting her package to say "I forgive you."
"Oh um thanks!" Trixie said feeling good to get that out of her system.
"Here it is Ms. Moola Groom." Derpy said giving Trixie the package. "Have fun with it!" Derpy said as she hopped away, closing the door with her hoof. Right before the door closed Derpy realized she had forgotten something. Something very important. "Hey wa-" but it was too late.
Trixie opened the box straightaway. She found a dusty book in the box. "Ah yes! Now I remember! This is the rare spell book I ordered: 'Very Very Very Very Advanced Magic By Dissy Chord'. Must have liked music. Now...where is that spell. Oh yes it's here!" Trixie said with a squee. "'The Great Double Illusion'. This'll come in handy at one of my shows. Annnd talking to myself again. Eh who cares." Trixie said shrugging her shoulders. Trixie read the instructions very carefully, "'Step one: Look at a mirror. Step two: Concentrate your magic on your reflection on the mirror.' Sounds easy enough." But what Trixie didn't notice, is that her reflection was doing things the original wasn't. "'Step 3: Close your eyes and say cheese?' What kind of a spell book is th-" but as Trixie was about it to finish her sentence, to her horror, her reflection came out of the mirror with a flash. She couldn't believe her eyes. "I-I must've done something wrong! I-I don't understand!" Trixie stammered.
"Silence fool! Behold the glorious power of the one, the only, the magnificent, Great and Powerful Trixie! Muahahahahaha ha ha." said the doppleganger laughing in delight.
The Trixieverse II: The Other Pony
"Did you just say what I thought you said?" said Trixie in bewilderment.
"Did Trixie not speak loud enough? If so Trixie would gladly..." Said The Great and Powerful Trixie.
"No it's just...you're me." Trixie said.
"Ha! You? Trixie? You two are nothing alike. You may look like Trixie but you don't have the traits of Trixie." The Great and Powerful Trixie scoffed.
"I don't follow" said the still shocked Trixie.
"Trixie does not say 'I' just Trixie. Such an insult to herself would crush her reputation forever! Fortunately you don't have a reputation to uphold! Ha ha." said The Great and Powerful Trixie.
"You...you're not real. You're just a stage persona I created. You're nothing but an ego....everything I wish I could be. This is nothing but a bad dream!" Trixie said.
"Trixie? A dream? Perhaps I am in others dreams but I myself an not a dream. Unless you think I'm..." Trixie said with a sneer.
"Nonononono not like that! It's just...ugh...why can't I wake up!" Trixie shouted. The Great and Powerful Trixie slapped Trixie.
"There! Has Trixie convinced you? Hmmm?" The Great and Powerful Trixie said.
"Wait no! No! You're not real! You're not real! You're not real!" Trixie said hyperventilating.
"Enough talking! Although Trixie likes to talk she must make her move! She must hunt down that 'oh so special' Twilight Sparkle and crush her once and for all!" The Great and Powerful Trixie shouted starting her crusade.
"No...I....command you to stop! You're me...so I control what I do! " Trixie said desperately.
"You command Trixie to stop? That sounds like a joke in itself! And another thing, you are not Trixie! Only Trixie is Trixie! There is only one Trixie! And it wil be the same Trixie that will bring this kingdom to its knees. And it is the same that will conquer everything! I suppose Trixie should be thankful for the shelter you have brought her so I will spare your life only if you don't get in her way." The Great and Powerful Trixie said as she opened Trixie's windows. "Maybe Trixie will have you as her court jester. You seem pretty good at telling Trixie jokes. Ha ha! Until next time strange lookalike! But when you see me next, it will be when I take Celestia's throne and use Luna's as a hoofstool. Muahahahah! Ahahahaha! HA HA HA!" The Great and Powerful Trixie cackled before leaving Trixie's room. That laugh rung in Trixie's ears repeatedly . She sat down in her bed hoping it was a dream but to no avail.
"She's the same as me right? She's no more harmless than the average unicorn. As long as that fact is true, there is no way she can succeed. Yes! Twilight could run circles around me! Yeah....run....circles." Trixie said with a sigh. "Wait! If the new Trixie knew about Twilight Sparkle, she knew about the allicorn amulet...and who has the amulet now. Oh no! Oh nonono! I have to stop her! But I can't step foot into that town since last time...and I can't...stop talking to myself! Argh! Ok, ok, ok it's settled. I'm going to Ponyville and that's final!" Trixie said. But not before having a realization. "As soon as I get a ride." Trixie said annoyed.
"Hmm Hmm Hmm Hmm Hmm. Just keep on moving ahead. No time for guessing follow my plan instead." Derpy sang as she washed her "Derpmobile". A over glorified carriage in the shape of a giant muffin. She then spotted a light blue mare cackling loudly wearing a magicians attire. "Is that Trixie?" Derpy asked herself. Suddenly she saw a light blue unicorn coming at her from inside the house she just delivered to. "Oh hi Trixie! I just saw you having an mental breakdown...wait what!? You were there, but now you're here and now she's over there and ooh! My brain hurts." Derpy said.
"Ms, Hooves!" Trixie exclaimed.
"That's Mrs. Hooves to you!" Derpy said proudly.
"Whatever. Anyways I need your help! I need to barrow your...vehicle to catch that doppelgänger!" Trixie said.
"What?!" said a confused Derpy.
"I'll explain on the way!" said Trixie.
"Sure anything for a friend." said Derpy cheerfully.
"Friend?" Trixie said.
"Yeah you're my friend. Now let's catch that other you." Derpy said full of excitement and getting into the Derpmobile.
"Ok! Do you know a zebra that lives in the Everfree Forrest?" Trixie asked as she got in the Derpmobile.
"Yeah! I'm the mail carrier! I know pretty much everypony. Why do you ask?" Derpy asked starting her vehicle.
"I believe other me is going to that zebra's home." Trixie explained. "What is this thing anyway?" Trixie asked.
"This my little pony is the Derpmobile: the latest in transportation technology. It's powered by muffins!" Derpy said.
"And how exactly does that work?" Trixie asked raising an eyebrow.
"No more questions!" Derpy said as she began driving. "Now it's time to ask you a question. Why are we chasing another you? Was she you from the future? Because I know a pony who can help with that." Derpy said.
"No. Nothing like that. I created a duplicate of myself, thinking it was an illusion. But then it turns out I created a doppelgänger of me who is based off my 'Great and Powerful Trixie' persona. So now it wants to take the amulet that made me evil and take over the entire universe." Trixie explained.
"Ah so that explains it." said Derpy calmly.
"You're not the least bit weirded out?" asked Trixie.
"I've seen weirder things with my husband. Trust me." said Derpy.
"Ooooooh kaaaaay then." said Trixie wondering just what things Derpy had seen. She was about to ask when the Derpmobile came to a stop.
"We're here. Looks like we beat Evil Trixie here!" Derpy said with a smile.
"Thank you so much for everything!" thanked Trixie.
"You're welcome! If you ever need anything just call!" Derpy said with a wink.
"How can I call you from this long a distance?" Trixie said befuddled.
"Oh yeah! Silly me!" Derpy said as she gently hit her head. "I've been traveling with my husband too long." Derpy said as she motioned Trixie to get out of the Derpmobile. Trixie then proceeded to knock on the door after waving her friend goodbye. A zebra opened the door.
"Oh! It's you! How could I forget! It was who that worn the amulet." the zebra said.
"Yes um about that. I just want to warn you. That um the allicorn amulet...going to be attempted to be stolen...by me." Trixie said nervously. The zebra began to close the door. "Nonono! It's not like that! You see..." Trixie said before she explained her story. As she told her story, the zebra grew more convinced that her tale was true. "So that's it." Trixie finished. "The spell book was written by some guitar playing idiot named Dissy Chord." Trixie said with a annoyed expression.
"Discord! That son of a goat! It was that book that he had wrote!" explained the zebra.
"Discord!? As in the Discord!? Master of Chaos?!" Trixie gasped.
"Yes. Although he is reformed forevermore, it does not excuse what he did before." the zebra said. Trixie then looked at the ground sadly. "My unicorn friend, do not be sad. It was the amulet that made you mad." the zebra comforted.
"Yeah. I guess. What is your name? I never got it after...my last visit." Trixie said hoping to change the subject.
"My name is Zecora. But do you understand, that we must focus on our task at hand?" Zecora asked. Suddenly the glass of Zecora's windows broke thanks to a certain nefarious double. The two four legged creatures heard a cackle before Trixie's evil copy jumped in. She was standing on two legs with her cape in the wind as cheesy as possible.
"Hello! The name of the pony before you is The Great and Powerful Trixie! You have Trixie's amulet! Prepare to-oh! You! Trixie thought she told you not to get in her way. She sees you have learned nothing. For The Great and Powerful OOF!" The Great and Powerful Trixie said before being hit by a potion bucked by Zecora. "Argh! What is that?! Huh?! Trixie can't move her body! Trixie demands to be freed!" The Great and Powerful Trixie said. However she spied the cure and used her magic to pour it over her body. "There! That's better!" The Great and Powerful Trixie said. Zecora then looked at Trixie.
"I was...in the honor class for chemistry..." Trixie said while blushing. The Great and Powerful Trixie then created a cage with her magic while Trixie was talking and trapped both Zecora and Trixie inside. The Great and Powerful Trixie then walked up slowly to the vase where the amulet was being held. "Yes...yes...Trixie can feel the power. Oh what's that power? You want to be released? Oh you want Trixie to release you? Well sure thing! Ahahahaha!" The Great and Powerful Trixie said insanely.
"Was my persona always this insane?" Trixie asked herself. The Great and Powerful Trixie then put on the amulet and then she closed her eyes. Her head seemed to move uncontrollably. She then let out a screech louder than a foghorn. She fainted. Zecora and Trixie didn't dare move a muscle. Then The Great and Powerful Trixie got up and cackled louder than she ever had before. Now her eyes were red and one of them twitched every five seconds.
"Now bow! Bow down to your new ruler Equestria. For I am the Great and Powerful Queen Trixie!" The Great and Powerful Trixie shouted.
"Oh Celestia," Trixie whispered, "what have I done."
The Trixieverse II: The Other Pony
"Now Trixie is strong enough to rule the universe! Ahahahaha!" The Great and Powerful Trixie boasted.
"With sanity so frail, there is no doubt you will fail." Zecora said.
"Oh Trixie doubts that." The Great and Powerful Trixie said. Then she put a spell on her amulet. "Now Trixie cannot take this amulet off! Even if she wanted to! Trixie should be taking her leave Trixie's two rats. Chao! Muahaha!" The Great and Powerful Trixie went outside and slammed the door behind her.
The Great and Powerful Trixie went into the center of the Everfree Forrest. No creature dared attack her. She then sat down and chanted some sort of ancient spell.

"Now you obey Trixie! Step forth!" The Great and Powerful Trixie shouted. All of the trees of the Everfree stepped forth and marched like warriors ready to battle! "Good! Now the whole universe shall know the greatness of Queen Trixie! March!" Shouted The Great and Powerful Trixie. The trees picked up The Great and Powerful Trixie with their branches while she lay down, hooves behind her head as if to take a nap. Soon her warriors reached their designated target: Ponyville. "Oh Twilight Sparkle! How Trixie has dreamed of this moment. It looks like what they say is true. 'Hard work and determination always pays off in the end' and believe Trixie, she has done nothing but the two. So use your precious magic of friendship because it won't save you from my wrath. For this time I won't stick with easy peasy spells a filly could do. I will be using much more...lethal spells. Ha! I can see you now waking up from your sugar-coated dreams and entering your sugar-coated world. Won't you be suprised! Hahahaha!" The Great and Powerful Trixie squirmed with delight at the thought of her wrath.
"Now for the first time Twilight Sparkle, you will face death."
"Spike have you finished breakfast yet? I'm starving to death!" Twilight said peeking through her kitchen.
"In a minute Twi. A hay burger takes time and patience to-AGHH! Earthquake! Earthquake! Run for your lives!" Spike shouted.
"Don't be such a scardy-dragon Spike I'm sure it's just a minor one. I'll check if there is any damage done to the town." Twilight said as she flew down her new window. She had done some renovating to her castle ever since the battle with Tirek to make it more like her home. She had installed a telescope like the old one to check on the going-ons of the town. "What in the name of Equestria is that!!" Twilight said as she looked through the telescope and saw a band of tree warriors. "Rainbow Dash!! Go tell the townspeople that there is tree monsters heading towards the town!" Twilight said to Rainbow who was napping on a nearby cloud to wake her up.
"Uh uh oh! Will do Twi!" Raimbow said taking off. Twilight wondered what brought these tree monsters here. She wondered if she could reason with them. But then again, can you reason with tree monsters? Netherless she went to confront them. She flew down to the entrance of the Everfree to talk to the monsters as weird as it sounded.
"Um. Tree monsters! Why are you doing this?" Twilight asked.
"Halt!" shouted a voice from up above. Down came a light blue unicorn with her cape floating down as well. "Did you miss Trixie? Princess?"
"Trixie? I thought we made up! Why are you attacking Ponyville again?" asked Twilight.
"No more of your games Princess. Trixie and you both know she passed out when you and your friends chased her out of town! Left her to die! Not that she blames you. She did try to kill you and your friends. But now it's time to settle things." The Great and Powerful Trixie said.
"Ok a magic duel like before. Just as long as nopony gets hurt." Twilight sighed.
"Magic duel?" The Great and Powerful Trixie chuckled. "Haha! Who said anything about a magic duel? This will be more like a death battle!" Suddenly two ponies showed up out if the way of the two competitors. They quickly set up a booth and hung up a banner.
"Ever since the dawn of time ponies have been asking the question 'who would win in a fight?' Now we are here to settle this debate once and for all!" the pony behind the booth said.
"He's Uni and I'm SharpStick!" the other pony named SharpStick said.
"Now we will compare each combatants traits, armor, and skills to see who would win a-GAH!!!" Uni said as he was hit by a fire spell, courtesy of The Great and Powerful Trixie.
"You can just commentate. You can see who would win with your own eyes." The Great and Powerful Trixie said menacingly flaring up her horn.
"'Scuse me honey, but it's our job." SharpStick said before seeing The Great and Powerful Trixie conjure a fireball with her magic.
"Or we could just do it your way! Hehe. Hey Uni, I think I just got a new marefriend." SharpStick said.
"Don't get your hopes up SharpStick." Uni said as he looked at the insane unicorn cackling. "Anyway SharpStick you can do the honors as always."
"Sure thing Uni! *ahem* ITS TIME FOR A DEATH BATTTLLLEEEEE!" shouted SharpStick."By the way Mr. Writer. We can take the commentating from here! You can just do the 'and the handsome sword wielding pony said' stuff that you do." Fine better leave this to the professionals. "Our two competitors: Princess Twilight Sparkle and Trixie." said SharpStick.
"That's the Great and Powerful Trixie to you!" shouted The Great and Powerful Trixie.
"Fine fine! Just please don't kill me!" Shouted SharpStick. A red earth pony entered in the middle of the battlefield.
"Y'all can fight now. Eeyup!" he shouted.
"No sooner as the red earth pony left the battlefield. The two ponies went at it! Twilight used a mustache spell like last time but she missed. The Great and Powerful Trixie used a magic blast to try to hit Twilight but she dodged. The Great and Powerful Trixie then changed tactics. She encased Twilight in her magic." Uni commentated.
"Wouldn't I like to do the same to The Great and Powerful Trixie. Anyways she then concentrated her magic on Twilight's hoof and decided to have a little fun." SharpStick said.
"Trixie would like to know why are you hitting yourself!? Haha ha!" The Great and Powerful Trixie said as she made the allicorn princess hit herself several times.
"Twilight looks just like me whenever I have cider party and stay up too late. Ah good times, good times. The Great and Powerful Trixie then swung Twilight around like a rag doll. Hitting her against numerous buildings and...hey that's my house!! My cider collection! Noooooo!" SharpStick cried.
"I think SharpStick needs to take a little break. The Great and Powerful Trixie then wasted no time in finishing Twilight who was too dazed to really do anything. The Great and Powerful Trixie then proceeded to throw Twilight into the ground. Dropping her at least 50 feet into the ground. That takes more magic than the average unicorn could us-" Uni said before he was interrupted by SharpStick.
"Ugh! You're boring up this battle with your diagrams and stuff! I've gotten over my loss and I'll take this over from here. Twilight then flew up from the giant hole she crashed in. She then proceeded to aim for The Great and Powerful Trixie before she teleported away. The Great and Powerful Trixie then shot a bunch of unicorn magic awesome lasers from her horn. Twilight then landed on a cloud for cover. But right behind her came...OH MY CELESTIA!" SharpStick said.
"You know there's a reason they call it the 'allicorn amulet'." The Great and Powerful Trixie sneered.
"You-You're an allicorn. H-How!? Wait...you have the allicorn amulet? So that explains it. Trixie you have to take that off! It'll make you insane!" Twilight said.
"What is up with everypony calling Trixie insane today! TRIXIE IS NOT INSANE! DOES THIS LOOK LIKE INSANITY TO YOU!? WELL LETS SEE IF YOU CAN LOOK AFTER A LASER TO THE FACE!" The Great and Powerful Trixie screamed.
"She's...she's she's an allicorn. I can't believe it! Anyway, The Great and Powerful Trixie's laser made contact with Twilight's head and Twilight fell to the ground from the impact. No...wait not the ground. Underground. Wait even more underground...oh...ouch....that's gotta...ooh. And so royalty falls. A red earth pony stepped in the middle of the battlefield sadly." SharpStick commentated.
"KO eeyup." said the red earth pony sadly.
"While Twilight was an allicorn princess much longer than The Great and Powerful Trixie, she was much more aggressive than Twilight and had a form of unpredictability that Twilight could not match. Plus turning into an allicorn caught Twilight off guard. Twilight tried to reason with The Great and Powerful Trixie but all that did was make her angry leading to the princess's doom. The winner is The Great and Powerful Trixie." said Uni before packing up the booth and leaving with his commentating companion. Oh and thanks for the commentating you guys.
"Any time." said SharpStick.
"Look! At your Princess of Friendship! How she has fallen! Now you obey Queen Trixie!" said The Great and Powerful Trixie. Then Twilight's friends came to defend their town lead by a orange earth pony with a cowboy hat named Applejack. The other four ponies had their head to the ground and didn't dare say a word.
"We'll never serve y'all! Not after what you did to Twi! She was our friend! She was like a Apple herself! And...you...y'all will pay for this!" Applejack cried running towards The Great and Powerful Trixie.
"Oh really? Trixie's warriors beg to differ." The Great and Powerful Trixie summoned her tree minions and they trapped Applejack with their branches. "So! Would you like to honor the death of the Weak and Pitiful Twilight Sparkle by stepping forth killing yourselves as well? No? That's what Trixie thought." The Great and Powerful Trixie said with a cackle.
The Trixieverse II: The Other Pony
Trixie was hyperventilating as hard as she could. You couldn't blame her after what she's been through. She accidentally made and evil clone of herself and it probably had taken over Ponyville by now. Or worse. She only had Zecora for company. Which wasn't bad of course but the rhymes were a little irritating. Zecora just stood at the edge of the cage looking at her open cupboard. She then spotted one of her spell books. She then turned to Trixie.
"Trixie, you are a unicorn so have a look. Please use your magic to bring to me my book." Zecora asked.
"I'm sorry Zecora, but my magic is almost depleted. I don't think I can. Maybe if I can but no promises." Trixie said as she stopped hyperventilating. She slowly levitated the book, almost dropping it every two seconds. She just barely made it to Zecora's hooves. "Yes! I made it!" Trixie cheered.
"Good work Trixie you have done well. Now let me activate a spell." Zecora said flipping through the pages.
"Sorry Zecora but...um you're a zebra. You don't have a horn." Trixie said awkwardly.
"Trixie, a long time ago. Everywhere magic did flow. Earth ponies, Pegasi, and unicorns could make magic with no horns. Instead they spoke some spells and soon the made books and everywhere they did spell. Eventually the fight between Celestia and her twin, caused the latter to destroy the libraries and the books within. Only this book could make it intact. And this my dear Trixie is certainly fact. I will now look for a spell to summon. And I will bring Discord: the chaotic crazy one." Zecora explained. "He is the one who wrote your book for the worse. Now hopefully he can tell you how to undo this curse."
"But Zecora, how did you get that book in the first place?" Trixie asked.
"My great grandparents were librarians you see. They passed down this book to each generation of ponies." Zecora said reminiscing. Then she went back to reality and focused on finding the spell. "Ah I found it! The summoning spell! Now the counter curse Discord will tell." Zecora said. Then Zecora closed her eyes and sat down with her legs crossed. She extended her hooves towards her opposite sides. Then she began to chant.
Discordia i ululatum in tempore meridiano , lunam et dormivit in medio aestate
Discordia wharever egimus in nostro mundo sunt facere velis ?
Discordia discordia discordia
"My my my! Ponies are very fond of catching me in the bathtub. Ha ha! Oh? A zebra? Haven't seen one of you in a long time. Are you a friend of Fluttershy?" Discord the Draconequus said coming out of his steaming and floating bathtub. He then proceeded to make stairs out of nowhere to walk down to Zecora and Trixie's level. "Oh? A cage? How uncomfortable! Let's change the scenery shall we?" Discord said as he snapped his fingers. "Is this better?" Discord said after he changed the place they were in. Instead of Zecora's hut they were now in a court trial. Trixie was now somehow dressed in a blue suit with a red tie and Zecora was dressed in a red suit and cravat.
"Hold it! Discord please stop this game! The world is in trouble and you are to bl-" Zecora started to say but was interrupted by Discord.
"Oh I know how about this?" Discord snapped his fingers again. This time the trio were now on the moon. Trixie and Zecora were now in orange jumpsuits. Trixie was having fun with the lack of gravity. Zecora on the other hand was not amused. "Oh I know this will be just perfect!" Discord squeed with glee. He then changed the scenery to a boat going into a large tunnel. Inside featured dolls in dioramas of Equestrian places. "Now we can be everywhere in Equestria at once!" Discord said now wearing a hat that resembled mouse ears! Trixie was rather enjoying this one.
"Now Discord before this gets any stranger, I would just like to tell you that the world is in danger!" Zecora shouted.
"My zebra friend, don't you know 'it's a small world after all?'" Discord asked. Seconds later he actually thought about what the zebra had said. "The world is in danger?" Discord repeated. He then changed back the scenery to Zecora's hut only without the cage. " Well why didn't you tell me sooner!" Discord said. Zecora facehoofed.
"Mr. Discord? This has been fun and all but...I used one of your books. It was the one with the clone illusion. Instead of making it look like a clone, it actually made a clone." Trixie said. "It thinks it's the most powerful pony in Equestria and now it wants to um take over the universe." Discord just looked as if his heart just stopped.
"Ho-ly cow!" Discord shouted. He then snapped his fingers and teleported away.
Discord suddenly teleported into a group of cows.
"Didn't really mean the 'holy' part. Sorry!" Discord said before teleporting away.
"What the..." murmured one of the cows.
Discord teleported back.
"So what do you need me to do. Tell me and I'll do it!" said Discord.
"We need you to give us the counter curse." Trixie said.
"I'm sorry but there is none." apologized Discord.
"WHAT?!!!!" Trixie shouted.
"I'm sorry but it's the truth. I thought Celestia and Luna burned all of my books." Discord apologized once more. " But maybe I can at least trap it." said Discord.
"Also...she has the allicorn amulet. I forgot to mention that..." Trixie said sheepishly.
"Say what now?" Discord said looking absolutely terrified.
The Trixieverse II: The Other Pony
"Well! That was a wild and unexpected story!" Twilight said.
"So you believe it?" Trixie said hoping for a yes.
"Well...considering the evidence and the fact that you have the trust of my friends, I'd say I believe you." Twilight answered. Trixie smiled. "But one last thing Trixie." Twilight said.
"Yes Twilight?" said Trixie.
"The other you said that I abandoned you and that you passed out. Was that true?" Twilight asked. Trixie looked at the ground then back at Twilight. She was unsure whether she should trouble the mare more about her troubles. But then again she deserved to know.
"Well after you tricked me into taking the amulet off its grip on me loosened. I ran away to the middle of the road. Then I fainted. When I woke up, I realized what I had done. I went back to my true persona the moment I woke. So I went back to apologize and you know the rest." Trixie explained.
"So I did abandon you?" Twilight said worriedly.
"That might be Evil Trixie's way of looking at it. She has all the memories of when I used my 'Great and Powerful' persona. Nothing else. That might be why she attacked you because she doesn't remember my apology." Trixie theorized.
"Anyways, we should do what we did last time to defeat her right?" Twilight said. Trixie shook her head.
"She remembered how she was defeated as well. She put a spell on the amulet in the case that she did fall for our tricks. Anyways you can just use your elements to defeat her right?" Trixie asked.
"I did some more research on the allicorn amulet and figured out that no force in the universe but the wearer can take the amulet off. However I looked up how the amulet can be destroyed with supreme effort. I think our new powers can take care if that with the help of the princesses." Twilight said.
"So that's our plan: getting magical friendship princess power to destroy the evil clone?" Trixie asked. After a few seconds Trixie said "I'm in."
"Great!" Twilight said. Twilight and Trixie opened the door to the other room. They found the whole group was playing poker. The key word being 'was'. Everypony besides Discord and Pinkie Pie had been bested and was currently drinking cider while watching the game. Pinkie laid down her cards. She had a full house. Discord stared in disbelief.
"Send me a cake and I can tell everypony here to keep it hush-hush." Pinkie said with a wink. Discord was still twitching his eye as he created a cake out of thin air. "Oh Twi! You're here already?" Pinkie said.
"Already? You've been inside that room for hours. Let's kick some evil clone flank!" Rainbow said ready for action.
"Did you free Spike and tell him to send him my letter to Princess Celestia?" Twilight asked.
"Sure did Twi! Ah reckon she should be here any minute with the other princesses." Applejack said. A knock on the door startled the group. Zecora looked through the window. Sure enough she saw Celestia with Luna and Cadence by her side. As she opened the door Luna was still talking with the others.
"I'm just inquiring why is it that whenever we have a problem, it is most likely in Ponyvile. Oh...excuse me for my rudeness." Luna said awkwardly. Zecora nodded understandingly and let the three in. Celestia was the first to enter the room the group was speaking in.
"Hello my faithful subjects." Celestia said warmly. Everypony respectfully bowed. "So I heard you required my assistance?" Celestia asked. Then Trixie stepped forth and bowed at the princess's feet.
"Please spare me! I didn't know what I was doing! I thought it was an illusion I swear!" Trixie cried.
"It's quite all right. Twilight told me about you and the amulet and I forgive you. You seem to be a good pony." Celestia said warmly.
"Yes. Well...the basic plan is my and my friends use our powers from our battle with Tirek and concentrate our magic on the amulet, Discord concentrates his magic on the amulet, you Luna and Cadence concentrate your magic on the amulet and we all use our magic to destroy it we can finally be rid of it for good." Twilight explained.
"It sounds like a rather simplistic plan but if you think it will work Twilight, you have our cooperation. But I must warn you that the amulet is a force to be reckoned with. It can not be destroyed easily and even if it is the amulet will surely have something up it's sleeve." Celestia said ominously.
"But who would create such a thing?" Twilight asked.
"I believe you are well acquainted with the maker. Her name is Sunset Shimmer. Vowing to become the best unicorn there ever was she spent time working secretly at the forge after midnight. But when she finished and put the amulet on she turned into a monster.
When me and my sister finally convinced her to take the amulet off she was mentally unstable. So we sent her to the human world to see the error of her ways. Thanks to you she did. But with the details you have given to me I fear it will be much harder to destroy than to remove it." Celestia said.
"But how come you never told me?" Twilight asked.
"That moment was one of the darkest memories of my life. It was the first time I failed a student. Since we are dealing with the amulet again I thought now would be a good time to tell you." Celestia said.
"So um pardon me princess but now that we're done with the whole 'explainy' stuff, can we get to the action?" Rainbow Dash asked with a smile.
"Ready when you are." Celestia said as she smiled back.
"Aww yeah! This is gonna be awesome!" Rainbow exclaimed.
The Trixieverse II: The Other Pony
The Great and Powerful Trixie was enjoying her stay in her new palace. Lying down on her throne she began to play with a Twilight doll she made out of thin air.
"Oh Twilight did you know the ancient griffon proverb that tells us revenge is a best served cold? It is very cold in TARTARUS!!!" Trixie said as she squeezed the doll, eventually popping off its head. Bored with it, she got rid of the head and doll and made them both disappear into thin air. "You thought you were better than Trixie! Look where that got you! The only person who can match Trixie is Trixie! No one else! And now that you're gone Trixie can finally take over Equestria!" The Great and Powerful Trixie shouted.
"Um your Great and Powerfulness I thought you would just like to know that the hay sandwich delivery boy came in early while you were doing your evil monologue. He then put the sandwich down on your table and backed away slowly shutting the door behind him. Is...um that a problem?" said Snails who was chained to a wall behind The Great and Powerful Trixie with Snips. The Great and Powerful Trixie then turned to the two colts and made a fire below their feet. "Please please forgive me! It was my fault!" Snails pleaded.
"Nopony doesn't deliver Trixie's hay sandwiches without telling her! He will rot in Tartarus for this!" The Great and Powerful Trixie yelled to the sky. "Hay sandwich delivering is a very specific process! It will be done correctly! Or else!" The Great and Powerful Trixie said as thunder striked.
"Um..." Snips murmured.
"DO YOU QUESTION THE GREAT AND POWERFUL TRIXIE'S HAY SANDWICH DELIVERY METHOD?!!" The Great and Powerful Trixie yelled.
"Um actually I wanted to tell you that Twilight is still alive and is destroying your great and powerful dome with her friends, Discord, your look-alike, and the princesses. Is that bad?" Snips said nervously.
"What?! You have got to be kidding Trixie!" The Great and Powerful Trixie shouted. "Get the Tree Warriors! Attack! Attack!" The Great and Powerful Trixie yelled desperately.
"I think we won some points with her Snails." Snips said to his dim-witted friend. Shortly after he said that the curtains around him caught fire. "Oh dear." Snips murmured.
"Twilight are you sure this will work" Trixie asked.
"Well the dome certainly seems to be reacting..." Twilight said. Then as Celestia fired one last blast the dome overheated and was destroyed. Unfortunately for our heroes, The Great and Powerful Trixie's band of warriors approached the dome. Their commander was flying overhead with a black cape and a crown over her head.
"What the hay are those?! And for that matter why the hay is she an allicorn!?" Trixie asked Twilight frantically pointing to the tree monsters and The Great and Powerful Trixie.
"Hehe. Um I sort of forgot to tell you that." Twilight said embarrassedly.
"So Twilight Sparkle! Not even death can stop you. That's quite alright...because The Great and Powerful Trixie is immortal herself!" The Great and Powerful Trixie shouted. She shot a wall of fireballs around our heroes. She then flew over the flames to brag once more.
"Now everypony!" Twilight shouted.
"What!?" The Great and Powerful Trixie shouted. The entire group carried out their plan. Their magical blasts hit the amulet. The Great and Powerful Trixie was tortured for every hit they did to the amulet was agonizing to her as well. She screamed multiple times in pain. Until finally the amulet was broken and The Great and Powerful Trixie fell on the ground unconscious.
"Well...that was easy! Let's all go home y'all!" Applejack said.
"Sure!" Rainbow Dash said.
"Sounds good." Pinkie said.
"All living things...." said a unknown voice. The ponies all turned around at the unconscious The Great and Powerful Trixie. Her eyes opened and showed red. Not even her eyeballs were visible. "KNEEL BEFORE YOUR MASTER!" said the enraged The Great and Powerful Trixie. She hovered into the air with a strange red aura glowing around her.
"I don't understand! What happened?" Twilight asked turning to her mentor.
"The amulet's power must have taken residence in Trixie's body. That way it could somehow live on after it was broken." Celestia explained.
"Oh I forgot the princesses are here too. Then it will be a time saver when Trixie conquers the rest of this pitiful land." The Great and Powerful Trixie mocked. She then motioned her hooves upwards and made the land the group was standing on move to her level.
She then grew to ten times her size. "You fools. You think you have beaten the amulet? Trixie is the amulet. Trixie is everything! And Trixie will conquer everything! And Trixie will make you watch!" The Great and Powerful Trixie said insanely.
"You're out of your mind." Rainbow said.
"You can't just conquer everything! That's absurd!" Rarity said.
"Um...could you stop trying to kill us....please?" Fluttershy begged.
"Y'all's gonna get it! Apple style!" Applejack said brushing up her hooves.
"On behalf on this world we shall stop you!" Discord shouted.
"Now Twilight, you are dealing with a dangerous threat. Perhaps more dangerous than Tirek. So we, the princesses, bestow you our magic. We have trust in you my faithful student." Celestia said as she and the other princesses transferred their magic to Twilight.
"I will be rid of The Great and Powerful Trixie once and for all. I should have gotten rid of you a long time ago." Trixie cried seeing this monster as a reflection of what she had done in the past.
"I'm sorry I couldn't save you like I did the other Trixie, but you are now an evil that must be vanquished!" Twilight shouted to the giant Great and Powerful Trixie.
"Cue battle music! Or this . Whichever you prefer Readers." Pinkie said as she winked to the audience. "Or the music this chapter was named off of . Yeah I think that works best." Pinkie said to the readers once again.
"The Great and Powerful Trixie has had enough of your jabbering!" The Great and Powerful Trixie shouted as she shot lasers from her eyes. Luckily everyone dodged. Then The Great and Powerful Trixie slammed her hooves on the platform our heroes were standing on. This made everypony jump, literally. The non-pegasi had to hold on for dear life. The Great and Powerful Trixie saw how this was effective and shook the platform. Rainbow Dash then punched The Great and Powerful Trixie in the eye. The Great and Powerful Trixie then used one hoof to cover her eye and the other to swing around hoping to hit one her enemies. The non-airborne heroes had to jump to avoid her swings. Pinkie thought this was like jump-rope and gleefully dodged the swings. Once her eye had healed The Great and Powerful Trixie got an idea. "Let's see how well you can hit on a moving platform!" The Great and Powerful Trixie said as she moved the platform around Equestria while shooting the heroes with her eye lasers. She got frustrated and hit her head on the platform creating shock waves.
"Y'all think you're so tough?" Applejack said. Applejack then grabbed her lasso and threw it around The Great and Powerful Trixie's head. She then jumped on The Great and Powerful Trixie and rode her like a roller-coaster. "Yee-haw!" Applejack yelled. She then tightened the rope around The Great and Powerful Trixie's neck making her choke.
"The...AGH...Great and Powerful...AGH....Trixie...AGH...demands...AGH!" The Great and Powerful Trixie said, or at least tried to say.
"Y'all's not in a position to demand anything!" Applejack said with a smirk. "Rainbow! A little help?" Applejack asked. Rainbow Dash punched the giant allicorn multiple times in the eye. Pinkie then decided to get in on the action and blew a party cannonball out of her party cannon at The Great and Powerful Trixie's eye. Rarity and Discord then helped Applejack keep her grip on The Great and Powerful Trixie's neck by using their magic to hold the rope. All the while Twilight was shooting shots at the giant's body with the help of Trixie.
"Enough! ACK! Do you think a little lack of oxygen is to keep the...ACK...Great and Powerful...ACK...Trixie from living? This isn't even her last transformation! Behold!" The Great and Powerful Trixie shouted. Suddenly a bright red aura encased The Great and Powerful Trixie's already giant body. The ponies looked in horror as The Great and Powerful Trixie transformed herself into an even more giant figure. It was The Great and Powerful Trixie but it's figure was resembling the pony on the allicorn amulet. Black and somewhat grey, with wings as big as the moon, and eyes red like a rose. "So Twilight Sparkle? Do you think you've met your match?" The Great and Powerful Trixie teased. They were no longer battling in Equestria, they were battling somewhere in space on the same platform as before.
"No...NO! This is not who I am! I am not the allicorn amulet! I am not a demon!" Trixie cried. Trixie then jumped on her giant duplicate and started punching her face.
"Get off The Great and Powerful Trixie!" The Great and Powerful Trixie shouted.
"No! You shall be vanquished! Twilight now!" Trixie shouted.
"But I might hit you!" Twilight said.
"Trust me I'll jump back I can make it!" Trixie replied. Twilight and her friends then used her special powers from their battle with Tirek and shot a rainbow blast at The Great and Powerful Trixie just as Trixie jumped back to the platform. The Great and Powerful Trixie's body seamed to crack like a rock.
"No! No! No! Trixie is not ready! Trixie is not ready! I-I'm not ready. AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The Great and Powerful Trixie screamed before her death. It was the last anypony had ever seen of the allicorn amulet. Everypony on the platform blacked out. It was hours before any of them woke up. Trixie was the first to wake. She woke to the sound of a beep.
"Wh-where am I?" Trixie questioned.
"Why you're at the hospital my dear mare." said a brown stallion in a doctor's clothing.
"Wow! I didn't know you were an actual doctor!" said a familiar voice from behind a door.
"D-Derpy?" Trixie asked.
"Yup!" Derpy said bouncing up and down. "Allow me to introduce you to my husband. Mr. Hooves!" Derpy said introducing Trixie to her husband.
"Now Derpy! You must be a little more careful about our little secret." Mr Hooves whispered to Derpy.
"Oh yeah sure sure." Derpy said waving her hooves.
"But where are the others?" Trixie asked.
"It's a miracle actually. Derpy here caught all of you falling from the sky! I don't even know how that's possible or the fact that you even survived falling but you did! Quite fascinating! Anyway she carried all of you to the hospital, where my recent job is at the moment, and dropped you all off!" Mr. Hooves said.
"So are they all right?" Trixie asked.
"Of course not!" Dr. Hooves said.
"What!?" Trixie said fearing she might have a heart attack.
"Nah I'm just messing with you. They all have healthy vital signs! Just like you! They should be waking up any moment now." Mr Hooves said with a smile.
"Can I see them?" Trixie asked.
"Well I don't see the harm in it!" Dr Hooves said pushing Trixie's bed through the hallway. "And by the way, you just saved me a job!" Mr. Hooves said with a wink. Trixie didn't have the slightest idea what he was talking about but she shrugged it off anyway. She first visited Rainbow Dash who was already awake. For the worse.
"Aw c'mon! I'm fine! See look! I can move this wing...AAH! Oh hey Trixie! I may have not really liked you before, no offense, but wow! You were so awesome in there! Jumping on a giant pony and punching it in the face! You are one cool pony!" Rainbow Dash said. The doctors then made a movement with their hooves for Trixie to get out so they could treat Rainbow. "Hey! I wasn't finished talking!" Rainbow Dash said as Mr. Hooves pushed Trixie to the next room. It was Applejack's.
"And just what in tarnation is that supposed to mean? Ah'm perfectly healthy! I eat an apple thrice a day! Oh howdy Trixie! Sorry about the misunderstandin' at the hut. Y'all sure did save us all. I tip my hat to ya partner! Now I don't think you wanna see this because it's gon' get mighty ugly." Applejack said to Trixie before ranting about apples to the doctors who were treating her. Next stop was Rarity's.
"Hello darling! You were very brave out there my dear! I don't think I could've done what you could! I don't think the universe could survive under the control of that insane maniac! No offense my dear. Now go along now. A lady needs her beauty sleep." Rarity said to Trixie before falling asleep in her bed. In the next room lay Pinkie Pie.
"Hahaha! Stop that tickles! Oh hi Trixie-Wixie! That's my new nickname for you! Hope you like it! ...Oh my Celestia! I just realized I never had a party for you! I have to get to work right now! Shoo! Shoo! You'll ruin the surprise! Oh and nice work saving all of ponykind too!" Pinkie said as Trixie's bed was moved to the next room.
"I'm very sorry for the inconvenience but Discord isn't here right now. He seemed to have disappeared. He must've gotten bored here. He's a free spirit. I'm sure you understand." said a doctor to Trixie while her co-workers were checking under his bed to check if he was there. Before moving to the next room they were greeted by Celestia who was moving down the hallway as well.
"Trixie I'm very proud of you. Along with the others you saved Equestria! On behalf of the other princesses I thank you. Now I'm off to find Discord. He has to learn a lesson about writing cursed spell books." Celestia said with a smile. Trixie then moved to Fluttershy's room.
"Oh hello Trixie. You were a little scary last time, but I'm glad that inside you were a good pony. I'm sorry I didn't mean to judge you, if you don't want to be labeled that's ok." Fluttershy said.
"Miss Fluttershy it's time for your shot." said one of Fluttershy's doctors.
"Oh no! Trixie please go now! I don't want you to see this! This is going to hurt so much!" Fluttershy cried. Wanting to obey Fluttershy's wishes Trixie moved to the next room. This room housed the bed of Twilight Sparkle: Trixie's former nemesis.
"Oh hi Trixie. I just want to say you were great in there. I'm sorry about everything before. Maybe we can be friends now. I think we have so much in common! So what do you say Trixie? Can we start over?" Twilight asked.
"Yes. I'd like that." Trixie replied.
The Trixieverse II: The Other Pony
"Well SharpStick we really screwed up this time!" Uni said as read the newspaper.
"Hey I thought she was really dead! Hey writer why isn't she dead?! Is it because of your fancy "Machina thingamajigs?" SharpStick asked. Hey don't look at me I'll get a bunch of rage comments if she really did die. Geez! I'm just the writer. "Just!!? You're gonna pay for that!" SharpStick said about to throw his sword...OH CELESTIA RUN FOR IT!!!!
That was close! Ugh! I swear if it wasn't for me...oh yeah the epilogue sure. Zecora, back in her but was now making another one of her potions. Suddenly there was a knock at the door.
"Why this is happening I cannot say. Why am I getting so many visitors today?" Zecora said dropping her ingredients and walking over to the door. As she opened it, Zecora was greeted by Princess Celestia herself.
"Hello Miss Zecora. Pardon me for visiting when you've had a rough day." Celestia said.
"Not at all! It is an honor to have you. Now tell me why it is my hut you have traveled to?" Zecora asked.
"I want you to keep a secret for me. Tell it to the girls when the time comes." Celestia said.
"Anything for you my princess. But what is all this secret business?" Zecora asked.
"But first I must ask a question. Are you still in contact with Trixie?" Celestia asked. Zecora nodded. "I want to send her on a quest." Celestia confided.
"Trixie? On a quest? Surely you jest. The mare has just prevented a worldwide attack. Can you not do her a favor and cut her some slack?" Zecora said.
"It will be on a quest to make herself stronger. I want her to find the temples of old and train herself." Celestia said.
"Like that cartoon Applebloom has told me about? I don't know if I should send her on a unknown route. And isn't Trixie already good enough? Why does she need her magic to become more tough?" Zecora questioned.
"Believe me I have seen Trixie fight and win against her inner demons. Literally. I'm sure she can handle this. As to why? Well I have some plans in store for Trixie. Besides, she already saved the kingdom twice now. Although, you may not remember it. Since...well. Never mind. When I saw that evil double flying..let's just say I got an idea." Celestia said with a chuckle.
Two colts were in the middle of a burning palace chained to the walls. Their names were Snips and Snails.
"Snails?" Snips asked.
"Yeah?" Snails replied.
"Have you ever regretted something in your life. Something that made a evil overlord hate you with all of her heart." Snips asked.
"I think one or two things come to mind." Snails said attempting to push his head away from the burning flames.
"But I thought hooves was spelled with an 'h'." Derpy said tilting her head.
"It is my dear but I want it to be 'Whooves". As in the name I used to go by. Like 'who'. Get it? It's to get acquainted with the new environment." Dr. Whooves said inside the new house he just purchased.
"Ok but don't blame me when somepony starts cracking up whenever you sign something!" Derpy said with a smirk. "Why have you decided to settle here of all places?" Derpy asked.
"Because it is certainly the most exquisite world I've ever traveled to. Albeit by accident. And since that wormhole incident another Doctor is taking care of the troubles in my universe as well." Dr. Hooves explained."I also have a feeling that this world has more problems than a love relationship."
"Hey!" Derpy said with a playful pout.
"So...we are trees yes?" A tree asked the other. "We have no leader. So what now?"
"We could each go different places." The second tree suggested pulling out a map from a abandoned shop.
"I am Groot." A sapling named Groot said.
"That's right! That world with the triangles sounds pretty good." The second tree said.
"And I could lead the others to that Elvin kingdom." The first tree proclaimed.
"I am Groot." Groot said with a smile.
"So I said to myself: 'Why don't why go to Disneighland together with Fluttershy!' And I hoped she would say yes!" Discord said with pleading eyes.
"Now Discord you know I'm in the hosptal right now and I can't get up. Not even for a drink. Besides I think Princess Celestia was looking for you." Fluttershy said. As she was speaking those words a allicorn princess transported into the room. It wasn't the one Discord had expected.
"Discord! Princess Celestia is busy right now and cannot punish you for your ignorance! However I can!" Luna said as she stepped aside to reveal a angry mob of cows.
"Oh dear." Discord whimpered.
"...so I was thinking of becoming a prosecutor or maybe a CEO of big company until I-" Trixie was saying to Twilight until there was a knock at the door. Trixie then opened the door. "Oh hello Zecora! What brings you here?"
"Trixie forgive me for trying to hide it but can we have this conversation in private?" Zecora asked.
"Sure what is it?" Trixie asked.
"I know it is irritating to give you no time to rest but Princess Celestia has told me to send you on a quest!" Zecora whispered.
"A what now?!" Trixie said surprised.
The Trixieverse II: The Other Pony
It was a dark day for Ponyville. Especially for Twilight's friends. They couldn't even have a funeral for her fallen friend. Ever since The Great and Powerful Trixie took over, Applejack had assumed the role of leader. She had gathered her most trusted friends: Rarity, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie, although she's been silent ever since Twilight's death, to the castle Twilight had once called home for a meeting. Spike wouldn't come out of the closet for nothing. Applejack didn't blame him.
"We can't just sit around her and do nothin'. That Trixie just went ahead and...Twilight....I just can't!" Applejack said breaking into tears. Fluttershy comforted Applejack and put her hoof around her. Secretly Fluttershy was the most devastated, but she didn't show it.
"I'm sure Twilight's happy where she is right now." Fluttershy said soothingly.
"Well I sure ain't!" Applejack said.
"I'm not either!" Rainbow Dash shouted in agreement.
" I third that!" Rarity shouted.
"Well...um...it's true Trixie is queen...but we could just make the best out of the situation." Fluttershy said trying to make things better.
"Well I've had it! I could explode with all the anger I have at Trixie!" Applejack said. Suddenly Applejack's entire body faded to white.
"Applejack!" Fluttershy cried. When she looked around she saw that her other friends were fading to white as well. "No! Please don't go!" Fluttershy yelled. She soon found she was fading to white as well. "Please! Somepony! Help meeeeee!" Fluttershy screamed.
Two Minutes Earlier
"What do you mean you can't at least trap her?" Trixie asked desperately.
"Against the elements or allicorns I'm basically defenseless." Discord said in despair.
"So that means..." Trixie thought out loud.
"Yes. The allicorn amulet basically makes you an allicorn yourself." Discord explained.
"Wait...The elements! That's it! You could get Twilight and her friends to help us!" Trixie exclaimed.
"Good idea Miss um...." Discord said trying to remember if Trixie gave her name or not.
"Trixie, Trixie Lulamoon." Trixie said aquatinting herself with Discord. Discord then proceeded to snap his fingers. Slowly, white outlines of Twilight's friends materialized in Zecora's hut. All of them were in a standing position...except one. Applejack was the first to materialize. Once she saw Trixie, her eyes burned with rage and the need for revenge.
"You monster! Now ah'm gonna do what you did to Twilight!" Applejack said as she charged at Trixie. Luckily, Zecora was there to restrain Applejack and keep her from causing any harm to come to Trixie.
"Calm down Applejack let your anger end. This Trixie is nothing but a friend." Zecora explained. The others materialized fast enough to witness what just happened. Then Zecora proceeded to explain what happened to Trixie and her evil clone.
"So 'The Great and Powerful Trixie' is nothing but a stage persona?" Rarity asked.
"Basically. I'm very sorry about what happened earlier. I've pretty much been nothing but trouble during my past visits." Trixie apologized.
"It's all right dear. That green hair washed out in the shower anyway. And that allicorn amulet made you act the way you did. Right girls?" Rarity said looking to her friends. They all nodded, even Applejack reluctantly.
"That's all fine and dandy, but what about Twilight? She's dead!" Applejack said breaking the happy mood.
"Dead!? How?!" Trixie asked looking shocked.
"Um...your clone did it." Fluttershy said nervously.
"Oh no! Oh no no no! So that's why she didn't materialize. I'm so sorry! I'm so so sorry!" Trixie said breaking down and crying.
"App--le---ja---ck. Tr---i--x--ie." murmured a voice in the corner of the room. Everyone in the room looked at the corner and spotted a heavily bruised lavender allicorn.
For the first time ever since the supposed death of Twilight, Pinkie Pie spoke four words: "Twilight? Is that you?"
"P-i-n-k-i-e?" Twilight murmured.
"Twilight! Twilight! Twilight! I knew you were alive but everyone told me that you weren't because Trixie killed you but that wasn't the real Trixie and I'm just so glad you're alive." Pinkie said.
"For now Twilight needs her rest for her body to work at its best." Zecora said.
"Oh...ok." Pinkie said embaressed. She was just so happy that her friend was alive. Zecora went to nurse Twilight in another room.
"So...how are we gonna beat that Evil Trixie?" said Rainbow Dash.
"Duh! The same thing we used to beat Tirek! Our magical hair thingymagig." Pinkie said.
"Wait does Celestia know about this?" Trixie asked.
"Evil Trixie's been blocking all mail with the giant dome you used last time." Applejack said.
"I prefer not to bring that up..." Trixie murmured.
"Well we're out of the dome now, so I'll send a letter to the princess." Rainbow said.
"No...I will." Twilight said coming out of the room bandaged and in a wheelchair. "Trixie? You have the amulet off? I'm confused. Who got you to take amulet off?" Twilight asked.
"Well...that's the thing. That pony over there wasn't me." Trixie said. Twilight raised an eyebrow.
"Twilight do not be so firm. Of this I can confirm." Zecora said.
"Then if it wasn't Trixie then who the hay was it?" Twilight asked.
"Well...it's a long story." Trixie said.
