Rise of Enigma, Lord of Deadly Chaos

We move to the main four, who have just arrived at Trixie's house, on the outskirts of Ponyville.

Applejack walks up to the door

*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK*

Opening the door is a strange dragon, in similar appearance to Spike, but instead of Purple and Green, he is Blue and Orange,

with his spines laid back, he is slightly taller than Spike, and his eye white is yellow.

"Hello? can I help you?" The small dragon asks

AJ speaks up "Um.. hello, we're looking for the Great and Powerful Trxie-"

"TRIXIE! Someone's at the door for you!" He yells

Trixie rushed down quickly

"Ah, my apologies, don't mind Sputnik, he's in a bad mood today-

correction he's always in a bad mood."

Pinkie Pie laughs "WOW! You have your own Spike? why have we never seen him before?!"

Trixie replies "Ah you noticed! Well I don't usually bring him with me to my showings, he's not of much help,

he just sit's here lazily at home like my parents."

A short and plump pony walks up bonking Trixie on the head.

"WHAT'D YOU SAY? MORTY! Trixie's making fun of us again!"

Pinkie pushes AJ out of the way, "Listen, Ma'am, can we speak to Trixie privately please?"

The elderly woman responds "What? oh yeah sure! go find her a boyfriend, and a life."

Trixie screams "MOM!" And the door is slammed on her face

Trixie begins to speak "*Ahem*... Sorry you had to see that,

Now what can I- THE GREAT AND POWERFUL TRIXIE DO FOR YOU MARES?"

AJ hands her the card Sunset Shimmer dropped.

Trixie replies "Hmm? where did you get this?"

Pinkie pushes AJ away again, wearing her detective hat and replying "A Unicorn named Sunset Shimmer had it, any idea how she got it?"

Trixie responds quickly "Sunset Shimmer?!"

Fluttershy responds quietly "Yes.. d-do you know her?"

Trixie replies again "Hardly, but I got in a bet with her once..

That's how I got Sputnik."

"You mean Sputnik belonged to Sunset Shimmer?" Applejack pondered

"That makes sense, Twilight said she got Spike going in Magic Kindergarden,

and Sunset Shimmer would've been in the same school."

Pinkie jumps up "Yeah, but how did Sunset get this card?"

Trixie replies "I'm not sure, the only place I was giving these cards out is in the Crystal Empire,

I was trying to get more errmm... 'high class ponies' to pay attention to my show, I gave them to Crystal Ponies, Royal guards-"

AJ speaks up again "The Crystal Empire?

Now that don't make a lick of sense,

Sunset Shimmer left to the human world before the Crystal Empire came back,

she's only been there once, it was late at night, and hardly time enough for one of these to fall into her hooves."

"W-what happened?" Trixie asks

AJ replies "Sunset Shimmer was brutally attacked, bruised pretty bad, we found her with this card in her hoof."

Trixie panics "N-now hold on, you don't think I-"

AJ replies again "No, we know you've changed Trixie, but I think we all know what this means."

"We do?" Pinkie asks

AJ replies once more "Yes we do, it means that whoever attacked Sunset Shimmer is from this world,

and had been to the Crystal Empire more than once."

Fluttershy responds "B-but how?

the magic mirror is in Twilight's castle now, one of us would've seen them enter, and it couldn't have opened back in the Crystal Empire."

Pinkie Pie replies again "Yeah, cause Twilight hadn't done her science yet."

Trixe blinks a few times "...Done her science?"

AJ laughs "It's best not to try to figure her out."
