What have I done?
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAuthor's Note
I honestly don't know when the next chapter will come out due to some personal issues. The part after Rainbow Dash telling them to mind there own business is where my writing became crappy when the issue happened so I apologize for it.
Tune in for the next chapter: Locating the Amulet
So until then I'll see you next time ✌✌
What have I done?
[Twilight's Dream]
"That's supposed to go here and that goes there." I said to myself as I was reorganizing the books on the shelves. I was the only one in the library so I decided to read a book with the peace and quiet.
"Ooh here's a classic!" Grabbing one of my favorite books and sitting down on a chair to start reading. A few minutes went by as I was almost done with the book until I heard hoofsteps coming from behind me. I froze seeing how I was supposed to be alone.
"Well, well Twilight looks like we meet again." said a familiar voice. Slowly looking back hoping it wasn't who I thought it was only to see him...
"Hawk?" I said looking at him but he seems a bit off.
"Who the bloody hell told you my name!?" I wanted to run but I couldn't as I sat there frozen.
"T-Trixie..."
"Why the hell would she talk to you?"
"Um... well she said your name after I s-shot you w-with my m-magic." I covered my face with my hooves waiting for him to do something only to be resulted in laughter. I stared at him as he was laughing until he stopped and turned back to me.
"You know I almost died their if it wasn't for my Great and Powerful friend who stopped the bleeding."
"Wait... I almost killed you???" He nodded as I stared at him with my mouth wide opened.
'I didn't mean to almost kill him! I just wanted to slow him down.'
"Wait who's your great and powerful friend?" He rolled his eyes and then he sarcastically said me. Although I didn't catch on to his sarcasm as I started to get confused.
"I did?! But I don't remember healing you at all! Oh does that mean you think I'm your friend? Ooh now I can can start studying about your..."
"No not you, Trixie!!! Damn you ponies are so fucking dumb like the ones back on Earth." I frowned at his response as I'm one of the smartest ponies in Equestria.
"Hey! I happen to be one of the smartest ponies in Equestria! You are the one who's dumb!" I yelled which caused him to laugh again.
"Oh really? Then I'll give you an easy question everyone should know... Why is the sky blue?" My mind started to work as hard as it can but I couldn't think of anything.
"I-I don't know!"
"Really? Well if you must know Solar radiation sunlight is scattered across the atmosphere by a process called diffused sky radiation. The sky is blue because much more short-wave radiation, bradiation is scattered across the sky than long-wave radiation red light."
I stared at him in shock knowing that he's smarter than me!!! Nopony can match my intelligence other than the princesses.
"Well I guess you aren't all that smart after all!" I lowered my head in shame as I was dumber than this creature. 'How did I not know why the sky is blue?'
"Now I should tell you the reason why I'm here in the first place." My eyes wided as I have forgotten to ask him that to.
"But first you need to close your eyes so it can be a surprise." I was uncertain at the moment but I wanted to know why he was here so I shut both eyes. As I was closing my eyes I could feel myself being chained up to something so I opened them immediately.
"Where are we?" I asked while the sun was brighter than it should blinding my eyes temporary.
"Oh were in Ponyville... or in this case your worst nightmare." My vision came back as I found my hooves chained to something. I tried using my magic to get it off but it had no effect.
"Why isn't this working?"
"Because your chains are magic proof now... All ponies in Ponyville please come here!" As soon as he said that ponies started to gather all around us.
"Listen here ponies Twilight Sparkle doesn't even know why the sky is blue!" Everypony burst out into laughter even my friends were laughing.
"Now, who wants to throw these tomatoes at Twilight Sparkle?" The ponies roared in agreement as they each got two tomatoes and started to chuck them at me. I felt each tomato splattering all over my coat as the ponies burst out into laughter once more.
"Twilight Sparkle looks like a loser!"
"Yeah besides, who doesn't know why the sky is blue?"
My face started to heat up in both anger and embarrassment. As I was about to lecture them how I'm smarter than all of them combined I saw Hawk coming towards me with a big tomato.
"This is for ruining the lives of The Great and Powerful Duo!" I saw the tomato being thrown as hard as it could and my mind faded into darkness.
[Back in Reality]
"NOOOO!" I screamed at the top of my lungs as I was once again in my bedroom. Spike rushed in after hearing my scream with a concerned look.
"Twilight whats the matter with you? You could've woken all of Ponyville with that scream." Spike said as he rushed over to my side checking if I was okay.
"I'm fine Spike... What time is it?"
"It's 9:00 am why?" Spike asked with a confused glare.
"Spike let's go gather up the girls, we have to go back to Manehattan and continue out search." Spike nodded as I got up from my bed and went straight out the door.
"Hey why don't we go get Rarity first?" Spike asked hoping it would be a yes. I sighed in defeat as I nodded before Spike ran as fast as he could to Rarity's.
"Hurry up Twilight!" Yelled Spike as he stood at Rarity's waiting impatiently for me. Not wanting to keep Spike waiting I increased my pace.
I knocked at the door as a familiar voice answered, "I'll be there in minute!" Waiting for a few moments the door opened revealing Rarity.
"Welcome to Carousel Boutique how can I..." Was the last words I heard as Rarity screamed and pulled me inside.
"Twilight darling look how dreadful your mane is!" Rarity said as she pulled a mirror in front of me. That horrible nightmare made me forget all about brushing my mane.
"Uh yeah looks like I forgot." I said sheepishly. Rarity shook her head as she went in her room and came out with her "necessary" supplies.
"Twilight I must not let you roam around Ponyville looking like this!"
"Rarity." She started to brush my mane.
"Rarity." She still continued to brush my mane and then she started to pull out her make up.
"Rarity!"
"Yes darling?" Rarity said with an innocent smile.
"We have to go back to Manehattan and continue our search."
"Whyever would we go back there darling?" I then told her how my subconscious was getting the better of me and how my dream was the last straw.
"Oh you poor dear!" Rarity tried to comfort me but their was only one way and that was too confront the situation.
"Rarity can you help me gather the others? I don't know if I could handle this situation alone?" Rarity give me a sincere smile as she nodded.
"Whatever you need we will always be there for you." I smiled knowing that nothing can ruin our friendship.
"Thanks for being there for me. Now let's go get the others and head back to Manehattan. I exclaimed walking out the door heading to Sweet Apple Acres.
[Sweet Apple Acres]
I spotted Sweet Apple Acres up ahead as Spike continued to flirt with Rarity.
"Rarity has anypony told you that you have the prettiest eyes in Equestria?" Rarity on the other hoof looked quite uncomfortable by Spikes smooth talking.
Remembering what Rarity said earlier I decided to help her. "Hey Spike why don't you go get Fluttershy while we head over and get Applejack?"
"Well... Oh all right." We saw him make his way over to Fluttershy's cottage.
"Thank you darling, honestly I don't feel the same way about Spike since he's just a baby dragon after all."
"I know Rarity but I don't want him to be depressed until he finds somepony his age." Spike has a huge crush on Rarity even though she's too old for him but I can't imagine how he'll react if Rarity rejects him.
"Howdy Twilight, Rarity what are you doin' here?"
"Applejack we need to go back to Manehattan and continue our search."
"Ah'm not sure about that, Ah have all this work to do around the farm."
"Please Applejack I can't even get them out of my mind knowing that their suffering."
"It's really that bad then?" I nodded my head knowing I can't sleep without constantly think about...
'Wait what did Hawk call themselves? Oh right the Great and Powerful Duo.'
"Twilight are you okay?" Applejack asked when I snapped back to reality.
"Yeah I was thinking about what they called themselves in my dream." Applejack gave me a confused glare as I told her about the nightmare I had.
"The Great and Powerful Duo? Well Ah' don't know what makes the two of them "Great and Powerful." Applejack huffed slightly annoyed by the title.
Before I opened my mouth to agree until I saw Spike was walking towards with Fluttershy. "Do we have to go back? They probably want to be left alone."
"Ah reckon she's got a point there pardner'. You did injure his leg last time we saw them."
"I know but I just can't get them out of my head. I feel awful for what I did to them in the last few days, I even see the creature in my dreams." The rest seemed to understand my problem and agreed to continue the search.
"Now we nees to find Rainbow and Pinkie Pie." Right on cue I spotted a certain rainbow trail coming our direction. She seemed to be like her usual self again.
"Hey everypony! You have to check out this new move I made, it may even be cooler than the Sonic Rainboom!" I rolled my eyes as Rainbow Dash wanted to show us another trick. "No Rainbow Dash we were actually going to look for you.
Rainbow Dash raised and eyebrow, "What's more important than watching the fastest flier in Equestria!" Rainbow Dash yelled turning her back from us.
"Were heading back to Manehattan to continue our search." Rainbow Dash's ears perked up at the mention of continuing our search as a huge grin appeared on her face.
"Really?" I nodded my in assurance as Rainbow Dash flew up and threw her hooves at the sky. "Yesssss!!!" Rainbow Dash yelled as I was confused to why she had gotten excited all of the sudden.
A smirk appeared on Applejacks face as she spoke up. "Well Rainbow Dash Ah' guess you won't be comin' with us since yer' tricks are wayyy important."
"W-What? You know I was just messing with you guys right?" Rainbow Dash asked as she rubbed her neck.
I shook my head and started to play along. "Rainbow Dash I'm sure you can find other ponies to show your new trick to. Were heading back to Manehattan without you." Tears started to fill her eyes as she got to the ground and did something I thought she never do.
She got down on her hooves and preceded to beg. "Please, Please, Please! I-I didn't mean it HONEST!" We all stood their in shock as Rainbow Dash continued to beg.
"Rainbow Dash darling please be a grown up and stop begging like a foal." Rainbow Dash's face started to turn red as she got back up on all fours. "I w-wasn't begging! Rainbow Dash never begs for something as stupid as going to Manehattan."
"Well I guess we'll see you later, come on girls." As I started to walk away Rainbow Dash started to beg again. Applejack started to laugh on the ground while Rarity looked at Rainbow in disgust. "Alright Rainbow Dash you can come with us just stop begging."
"Now we just need to find Pinkie and so we can be on our way." Just as we started walking I was stopped once again by a pink blur.
"Ahhh!" It turned out to be Pinkie coming from who knows where. She just stood there giggling as the rest of us caught our breath.
"Pinkie what in tarnation are ya doin'?"
"Silly Applejack I couldn't wait any longer for my part in the story so I decided to come here instead."
"........."
"What? Why is everypony staring at me?"
"W-What are you...Oh never mind let's just go" I said shaking my head in confusion.
[Near The Everfree Forest]
"Are y-you sure we have to go in the Everfree?"
"Yes Fluttershy it's the quickest way to get to Manehattan."
"Or we can travel by........"
We been standing there for a few minutes waiting for Pinkie to finish her sentence as she just stood there.
"Do y'all think she's okay?" Applejack asked as I walked up to Pinkie to make sure. I started to wave my hoof at her but still no response, it was creepy seeing her like this.
"Travel Montage!!!" Pinkie yelled setting off the party cannon wherever that came from. "No!" We all yelled before she dragged us to that wierd montage again.
"Pinkie no more travel montages! Let's just go travel by hoof before it gets dark again. We all nodded as we stepped foot in the forest.
"Soo Rainbow Dash why were you eager to come with us again?" I asked recalling the events form earlier where she actually begged.
"N-No reason."
"No reason??? You begged Twilight to come with us! There has to be a reason." Pinkie Pie blurted while pointing a hoof at Rainbow.
"B-But you weren't there when it happened! Did Applejack tell you?"
"No silly I read about it before my part came up."
"........................"
"Pinkie..."
"Yesssss?" Pinkie said just inches away from my face with that huge grin on her face.
"Ugh never mind." I was still confused to what she was talking about but I figured it was Pinkie being Pinkie.
"Say didn't Rainbow say she wanted to impress somepony last time we came?" I asked remembering the time when she actually got her mane done.
"Uh I have no idea what your talking about?" Rainbow Dash said trying to hide her face. The rest of us snickered by her embarrassment.
"Rainbow Dash it's okay if ya'll like somepony."
"Yeah we won't make fun of you if you do."
"I'm not in love with somepo-" She quickly covered her mouth with her hoof realizing what she said.
"Your in LOVE???"
"It's none of your business now let's just forget about it." The rest of the walk was in silence after that. Even Pinkie managed to be quiet for that long.
"Rainbow I'm sorry that we didn't respect your privacy." Rainbow Dash simply nodded which I guess is an improvement.
"Hey girls I see Manehattan up ahead!" I said breaking the silence.
"Darling do you honestly think that they will still be at Manehattan?"
"Come on Rarity we have to at least try."
But walking further down to the town I spotten something up ahead.
'Is that a gravestone....'
"Hey girls do you also see that gravestone up ahead?" They all nodded but much to my curiosity I wanted to know why somepony would even consider burying him or her in the forest.
"Hey isn't that Trixie's hat and cape over there?" Making our way to the tombstone I started to get an uneasy feeling about checking it.
"Twilight why are there roses by the tombstone?" By now everypony started to regret checking the area out until I spotted something that made me freeze.
It was written on the tombstone, when I looked at it my heart sank by looking at the name.
It read Hawk...
I began to start reading the description:
'Here lies a Great and Powerful Friend and his name is Hawk
He put on both his first and final show, one I'll never forget even If I get hit with a rock
Sacrificing himself to keep me alive
He knew he had to leave it all behind
Known as a monster to many but to me he's the greatest being to ever live
Only I wished he had survived so he can continue to give
So we can be Great and Powerful together
For as long as I can remember
I hate to leave you behind, but the feeling drives me insane
But I know we'll meet each other again one day'
I started to sob quietly by the death by Hawk. The others seem to notice and came by my side.
"Twilight what's wrong?" I pointed a hoof to the tombstone as they caught on and started to read it themselves.
It went silent for a while before Rainbow Dash spoke first. "Twilight... I'm going to KILL YOU!"
'Why is she going to kill m-'
My thoughts were interupted as Rainbow Dash tackled me to the ground. "How could you... Murderer!"
"Woah Rainbow Dash l didn't kill anypony?"
"Read the rest of the tombstone..."
"Rainbow I don't know what yo-"
"I SAID READ IT!!" Everypony including me flinched at Rainbow's sudden interruption so I did what I was told and read the bottom part I missed.
'Cause of Death: Guards sent By Twilight Sparkle'
I froze when I finished slowly looking at my friends looks were more devastating. Rainbow gave me that cold stare, Fluttershy was crying while Pinkies mane deflated, and Applejack along with Rarity gave me disappointed looks.
"Sorry?" I said quietly as the mares shook there head and went back to the direction of Ponyville. Before I went with them I saw a note by Trixie's stuff:
'Thanks to my Great and Powerful Friend this represents the old Trixie.'
[??? POV]
I sat their watching those scumbag elements looking at the mysterious grave. My mood went to joyful as I saw the elements yell at each other because of some grave?
When Twilight Sparkle left I made my way over to see the grave.
"They fought over somepony being dead seriously?" I said to myself. But this has to be somepony they know so I dug up the grave revealing a big coffin at the bottom.
"This doesn't look like a pony." Much to my curiosity I opened it revealing a strange bi pedal creature. I thought about what I should do next until I came to a decision.
"Let's go cause some Chaos...
