Chapter 1 Mishap

"I'm sure the project will grant me power to perform magic," said Twilight to her video camera.

On the table was a mixture of different chemicals in a bowl that Twilight mixed together a few minutes ago. If everything goes as planned, she'll be able to conjure up magic from her fingertips and maybe something more but for right now she had to focus on putting it on a syringe and sticking in her arm for it to work.

"Now fans it is time for my experiment to see if it works," said Twilight as she picked up the small bowl.

A tremor caused the bowl to end up on her head and the chemicals ended up on Twilight's forehead instead of her arms like she planned earlier. She howled in pain as the chemicals dug itself into her head, a few moments later a horn popped out of Twilight's forehead which put her in a state of shock.

"What the? How did this horn get here?" asked Twilight as she looked at it in a mirror.

The horn looked like it was fresh out of a market or something so Twilight decided to test it out with a few empty bottles she found in a dumpster outside her house.

"Alright horn show me what you've got," said Twilight.

The horn glowed a purple hue around a bottle but her hands glowed a laser or blaster of some sort. She decided to blast the bottle which when Twilight did the bottle turned into nothing but shattered glass on her floor.

"Incredible," exclaimed Twilight as the purple hue on her horn and hands disappeared.

Trying to figure out what has happened to herself was going to take a lot of tests and dangerous experiments but Twilight didn't care as long as she knew what she was dealing with magic wise. She couldn't let this go out of control or it would have deadly consequences so this would be her biggest challenge ever. After a few months of endless tests and experiments she finally decided to head to bed for the night.

"I could use the sleep, it's been a long night," said Twilight.

She turned out her light in her lab then headed for bed until a lightning storm interrupted her a deep thought she was in and she looked outside to see a giant bolt of lightning strike hit the ground.

"What in the world is that?" asked Twilight as she looked outside.

The strike kept hitting the ground at a fast rate and was coming closer but no rain followed the storm which made Twilight even more puzzled but of course she went to sleep to brace for tomorrow.

"Yes of course master I'll be sure to take care of Miss Sparkle," said Skyrocket who was talking to Puppet Master.

"Do be careful Sky, Miss Twilight is not one to sleep on," concerned Puppet.

"I've got this trust me," said Skyrocket with a reassured look on her face and ended the Skype call with Puppet.

Skyrocket had the strength of a wrestler and speed like a cheetah, her hair was jet black with a white streak on one of the strands. Puppet had special instructions for her to hunt down Twilight Sparkle as soon as possible for some unknown reason; she didn't want to know to be honest all she wanted to see was blood all over her hands and to be Twilight's blood.

"Tonight Sparkle your going to pay for your crimes and this time you won't escape," said Skyrocket as she grabbed a .45 revolver then left her house.

Back at Twi's house she curled up in her bed dreaming of being in a field of nothing more than books and other things until a loud crash woke her up, shooting out of bed wasn't a chore at all so Twilight went downstairs to check the noise then a click of a gun stopped her dead in her tracks.

"Don't even think of moving or I'll show you what color your brain looks like," said Skyrocket angrily.

Twilight stood there with her hands up and Sky cuffed her then dragged her outside to a secret facility in Metropolis where Puppet sat her in a chair where there was only one light and a glass panel that was about 15 inches from them, even though Twilight had no idea why she was dragged out here. Puppet walked into the room then proceeded to walk around Twilight which made her uncomfortable but had a reason to.

"Miss Sparkle you know the reason we brought you here? The reason is that you have something that belong to us so give it here," demanded Puppet as he lifted her chin just to intimidate the poor girl.

Her horn glowed a bright light that blinded both Puppet and Skyrocket which was enough time for Twilight to escape quickly but was stopped by a locked door with a fingerprint scanner and when she tried to use her finger the door didn't budge.

"Shit, well it's a good thing I have Puppet's fingerprints on record," said Twilight as she used to use his prints to open the door and ran back to her house.

As she went back inside she decided to call her #1 assistant Spike who was vacationing in the Pacific Islands for the weekend; Twilight's face looked frantic and Spike could tell right away that something was wrong.

"Spike is that suit you made ready? I need it right now to combat an enemy," said Twilight.

"It's still in the testing phase but I'm concerned of how you will use it," said Spike.

"It's an emergency," said Twilight.

"Alright it's in the basement where we left it the last time and Twilight please be careful," said Spike as he hung up the phone.

"Okay Twilight time to suit up!" said Twilight.
