A spell gone wrong. Enterance round: Manehatten
A spell gone wrong. Enterance round: Manehatten
Twilight was walking out of her castle library, holding in her magic aura a book on dimension spells for the mirror portal. As she entered she set the book down and started reading. “I hope these spells will help with going to the human world and to Equestria easier. Sunset has meantioned something about a old legend in the nearby forest of her home.”
Twilight said to herself. Soon her horn started to glow followed by the mirror glowing. Twilight focused on the spell as the mirror glowed a bright purple. Soon the light subsided and Twilight saw that the mirror looked the same, but had a purple glow around it. “It worked” Twilight said “now I can pack some things and go visit my human friends and see what the fuss is all about.”
After Twilight performed the spell she prepared to pack some things, but started to notice something wrong. “huh? The portal hasn't stopped glowing" as the portal showed a darker shade of purple. "I thought the spell worked” Twilight said as she looked in the spellbook again "something isn't right."she muttered to herself. Suddenly the book was pulled out of her grasp and went directly into the portal. “What?! How is that possible?!” Twilight said panicking . The portal then started to pull Twilight towards itself. “This isn't supposed to happen!” she said “Something went wrong! I have to fix it quick!” She struggled but couldn't escape its pull. As soon as she was sucked in she hit her head on the mirrors side and fell unconscious.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Twilight groaned as she started to wake up. She remembered the mirror pulling her in and her hitting her head, which cracked her horn preventing her use of magic. Twilight rubbed her head to try and subside the pain in her head as she looked around and saw that she was still a alicorn. “That's odd” she said to herself “I should've became a human. Wait….this is Manehatten.” she said as she looked around. She was right, she was in Manehatten but it looked darker and more rundown. Most of the buildings she past while walking were covered in holes and some were even left as a pile of rubble. She noticed also there were no other ponies walking around or flying in the skies above . She walked a little down the sidewalk as she suddenly heard a loud explosion from behind her.
She turned around and saw a flaming car glide past her landing on its side as a burning hunk of metal with a older car following. The older orange car had with a white circle on the door with a number eight inside it and two miniguns on the rear fenders as it's main weapons. Then the car skidded to a stop and slowly turned around to face Twilight, who was shocked at what she just witnessed. Twilight was about to say something when suddenly the car started firing towards her sending bullets all over. She ducked under the barrage of bullets whizzing over her head as the car took off after her as she ran into a nearby alley.
Twilight ran as fast as possible through the alley but the car was still after her firing bullets that flew past her head and torso. She was close to the other side of the alley and hoped to hide somewhere nearby when suddenly a green car stopped at the exit. The car was a green Chevrolet Camaro equipped with machine guns on the front fenders and three rockets on a roof rack. Twilight slid to a stop in front of the car as the pony inside shouted at her. “GET DOWN!!” he shouted as four rockets flew from the roof of his car. Twilight ducked just in time as the rockets flew over her and hit the other car sending it into a flaming fireball.
The pony stepped out of the car and walked to Twilight. She saw that he was a young earth pony, blue coat and mane with a silver stripe along it. His cutie mark was two crossed flags and he was wearing some kind of jacket. “Let's go before you get killed.” he said as he got back in his car. Twilight didn't hesitate as she got in, she knew this was the safest to do.
“Who are you?” Twilight said to the stallion. He sighed and looked for the keys “names Speedy Silverstreak. I'm from Ponyville.” Twilight looked at him with a friendly smile “so am I. But who was that you just…..” she said pointing to the burning wreck. “That was Crazy 8…...or No Face as some ponies call him. No eyes, no tongue. Won only one time.” Twilight looked at the wreck and saw the body. He was right, no eyes and his mouth was sewn shut.
He backed the car out of the alley and drove down the road. “What the hell were you doing out there? No pony comes out during the tournament.” Twilight was confused at what he said “tournament?” he looked at her like she lost her mind. “The annual Twisted Metal tournament. The only vehicular death match in Equestria. How do you not know?”
“I'm not from here. I'm from a different Equestria. I'm princess Twilight Sparkle.” As soon as she said her name he slammed the brakes and stopped. “You can't be serious. You're not Twilight Sparkle. Twilight Sparkle has been dead for fifteen years.” Twilight was shocked, she didn't believe she died. Suddenly the car's radio started up.
“Congratulations on the audition round contestants. The first battle will be in Fillydelphia in two days. Only eight will advance from that round. Hope to see you soon.” the radio said before cutting to static. “That voice sounded familiar….” Twilight said. Suddenly they heard music from a distance. “Oh no” the Speedy said “It's her. We have to go now.” he said as he tried starting the car.
Twilight was confused until she saw a ice cream truck through her window. The truck was a Chevrolet step van painted white with pink and blue polka dots, equipped withtwo miniguns on the front, and a flaming pony head on top. “who is that?” she said to Speedy . He was to concern on leaving to notice her question. Twilight looked again and saw the pony leave the truck.
She was pink with a flat mane, wearing white pants with red polka dots, a leather harness around her torso, and a clown mask on her face. What surprised Twilight was the pony's head was on fire and a familiar laugh. “Pinkie Pie?” Twilight said to herself as the stallion started the car and drove off.
Meanwhile the pink pony saw from a distance Twilight looking and got back in her truck. “so…...alive after all these years.” she said with a dark low tone. “not for long. She will pay for what happened to us. Either by me or by my wish from Celestio. Either way she won’t survive this. Not by a long shot ” she said as she drove towards Fillydelphia for the next round.
“Not by a long shot……”

This is something I tried to do. I haven't seen anyone try to mix these two different franchises together (Twisted Metal and My Little Pony) but I hope this gets some people's interest. Any ideas for future chapters let me know in the comments.

The drive and the tragic tale of Rainbow "Ms.Grimm" Dash
As Speedy and Twilight left Manehatten and got on the highway, Twilight couldn't help but think about what he said. ‘dead for fifteen years?’ Twilight thought ‘what happened that had me killed?’ Twilight kept pondering this thought until a beeping sound filled the car.
“Shit” Speedy said agitated “We're low on gas. I'll have to stop and refuel.”
Speedy kept driving on the road for a few more minutes before pulling off the highway and pulled into the local gas station. He got out just as the gas station manager yelled through the speaker."We're closed! Go somewhere else to refuel!”
Speedy pressed the response button to talk. “I'm a tournament competitor, I need fuel for the drive to Fillydelphia”
Twilight and Speedy heard static until the manager came back on. “Sorry about that. What fuel do you need?”
“Race fuel, full tank” Speedy said as he put the pump nozzle into the car's gas tank. “I'd go to the bathroom if I were you. Fillydelphia is a long drive.” Speedy said to Twilight. She took his advice and got out and walked to the bathrooms.
Meanwhile Speedy noticed a familiar noise as he was refueling. ‘you gotta be kidding me’ he thought to himself ‘why of all places it has to be here?!’ Then a white ice cream truck pulled in and the driver got out.
Speedy tried not to notice as the masked pink mare walked past, and the sound of her machete scraping against his car. Then he sighed in relief as she walked past into the station. “You're paying for that Sweet Treat.” he muttered. As the mare entered the station she soon noticed a familiar looking mare walk out of the bathroom and instantly went towards her.
As Twilight got done in the bathroom she was suddenly grabbed and pinned against the wall. As she struggled she felt heat coming from whatever held her, and heard a familiar voice. “Well well well…...looks like I found you.” the mare said. Twilight then saw the pink pony with her signature clown mask.
“Pink…….Pinkie Pie?” Twilight said nervous. She noticed a certain change in the mares appearance, she became more rigid and her breathing got faster. Then Twilight was suddenly thrown to the ground “She's dead! She's been dead! I'm Sweet Treat!” Sweet Treat said to Twilight. “And now I'm gonna finished what I started!” she said as she prepared to swing her machete.
Twilight braced for the swing when Sweet Treat’s machete was flung out of her hoof. They both turned to see Speedy holding his gun aimed at them. “Let her go Sweet Treat! You know you can't kill during this time.” Twilight struggled within Sweet Treat’s grasp until she let go, leaving Twilight coughing and gasping for air.
"You have no part of this" Sweet Treat said to Speedy "this is between her and me."
"Well actually she's helping me with this. So she's technically my gunner and navigator. So I suggest you leave otherwise Celestio might hear about this." Speedy said grinning at the pink mare
Sweet Treat growled and walked directly into Speedys face "I'll see you in Fillydelphia " then turned toward her truck and drove away.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Twilight looked out the car window silent as Speedy drove towards Fillydelphia. She was in a deep thought on what happened to cause all this. She had to ask somepony what happened, to her, to her friends, to Equestria.
“What happened all those years ago?” Twilight said to herself. Speedy heard her and sighed “Fifteen years ago, Princess Celestia changed from her normal self. Nopony knows what happened but she became…..dark.”
“The Elements of Harmony tried to stop her but failed….badly. I think Applejack was killed in the fight and Twi…...you, were killed by Celestia, or Celestio as she calls herself. Afterwards the rest split apart and Celestio started Twisted Metal. She enjoyed watching everypony fight for the one thing they wanted: their greatest wish ever.”
“Some of the Elements actually decided to compete in the tournament. I know Rainbow Dash has competed a couple times and have won, and Sweet Treat, or Pinkie Pie as you know her, has also won a couple times. I joined the tournament for one thing: to get back at those who killed my family. I vowed to myself that I will end this once and for all."
Twilight was in awe as all of this was said to her. But just as she was about to ask for more the radio came on. “Welcome everypony to the official Twisted Metal Radio with your host: DJ Pon3. Today we are interviewing fellow Twisted Metal competitor Rainbow “Ms. Grimm” Dash. Welcome to the show Ms. Grimm.”
“The pleasures mine. Now let's get this over with please.” Ms. Grimm said. “alright then. Why don't you tell us why you're doing the tournament?” the DJ said. “Well about ten to twelve years ago me and my sister Scootaloo were kidnapped by a pack of griffons. They locked us in a hole for weeks with no food or water. Then about a week on Scoots got very sick. I screamed for help but their leader showed up.”
“She was a old friend from flight school named Gilda. She threw down a knife saying the only way to survive is to eat. I knew what she meant but I refused to do so. I would never eat my own sister to save my life. After a few more days Scootaloo died and I was all alone.”
“A few weeks later I gave in. I took the knife and…….you okay?” They then heard what sounded like somepony vomiting. “Yeah…..just a little nauseous….” the DJ. “Whatever. Anyways, after two more weeks some royal guards found me and her remains. I made the mask I'm wearing out of her skull” which followed by another vomiting sound from the DJ.
“I refused to take it off and was arrested. Few years later Celestio asked if I wanted to enter the competition. I agree to do so, for my greatest wish is for that bitch Gilda to get what she rightfully deserves. Now I gotta get going.” As the sounds of her walking faded out the DJ spoke again, with a difference in her voice.
“Well…..that was Ms.Grimm folks. She will be in Fillydelphia tomorrow for the first round of the tournament. As always I'm DJ Pon3 and I hope you enjoyed this broadcast.” the radio then cut to static as Speedy and Twilight saw the Fillydelphia exit sign. The first round was gonna start soon.
Author's Note
Well here's a little backstory for Rainbow Dash. But there will be still questions. "Why is Pinkie Pie now Sweet Treat?" "What did Twilight do to Pinkie?" "Where's the rest of the Mane Six?" Thise questions will be answered.......eventually. But as of now I hope you enjoyed this chapter and will start writing for round one: Fillydelphia.
Round 1: Fillydelphia
After a night's rest at the local hotel, Speedy and Twilight were sitting at their starting point on the outer edge of Fillydelphia. At least two thirds of the city was shut down for the tournament to take place. Twilight groaned as she waited for the start, she never wanted to do this round but Speedy said he needed somepony to direct him and plus he threatened her saying that she won’t get her wish from Celestio if she refused.
While they waited the car's radio started playing. “Welcome all contenders to our annual tournament. I'm Celestio, founder of the tournament and ruler of Equestria. We have sixteen drivers in this round and only eight will proceed to the next round. We have crowd favorites from previous tournaments and some… new blood competing for the one thing they want: their greatest wish ever. I wish you drivers the best of luck and hope to have a good round.”
As soon as Celestio cut off a loud horn blared through the city. Speedy knew what it meant and started his car with a loud roar from the engine. “Put your seatbelt on. We're about to start.” Speedy said to Twilight. As she put her seatbelt on Speedy put on a flame designed hat and a pair of aviator sunglasses. The horn blared again and Speedy revved the engine of the car. Soon the horn blared again and they took off into the city. As they entered they started seeing other competitors, which Speedy heard of a few. “Keep an eye out for one's coming up behind us” Speedy said to Twilight “unless you want us dead.”
Twilight kept a watchful eye of her surroundings. There were so many drovers going past them that she couldn't keep track of them. She soon saw Sweet Treat and her truck hit the side of what looked like a modified exterminator van sending it into a wall while a modified taxi cab was firing at her. Speedy started explaining the tournament to her.
"There are multiple checkpoints on the course designated for a vehicles weapons. The primary weapon can be constantly fired but the secondary a d special weapons need to be earned. There usually two light towers" he said as he drove through two blue light towers. “We got rockets” he said “let's play some offense.” Speedy then turned around and threw the car in reverse. As he drove backwards he saw a red supercar coming towards them with bullets flying past them.
“Shit. It's Crimson Fury. I know that Ferrari Enzo anywhere.” Twilight looked and saw the car herself, it was red with armored windows and equipped with machine guns on the front fenders. Crimson Fury was one of the fastest drivers in the tournament just like Speedy, but lacked a good amount of armor. Speedy looked at the dashboard and flipped up a toggle switch. “on my mark hit that button.” Speedy told Twilight pointing to the blue button. He waited till the car was close to them and then waved a hoof to Twilight. “Hit it! Hit it now!” He shouted to her. She pressed it and saw two rockets fire from the roof of the car, which hit Crismon Fury dead on causing the car to explode and smash into a nearby building.
The radio activated again with the DJ talking “And Racer takes the first kill with Crimson Fury meeting a fiery demise.” Twilight smirked at the name Speedy called himself, “Racer?” Twilight said to Speedy. “My family was into racing a lot. Plus you didn't see the seventy one on the side of the car?” he said groaning as he saw her laughing. Suddenly the car was hit from the rear and they both spun into a wall. “And Sweet Treat just ass hoofed Racer’s car” the DJ said through the radio. Speedy looked out and saw Sweet Treat drive away laughing.
“Shit! Come on!” Speedy said trying to restart the stalled car. Twilight then saw a white sports car stop next to them. “Uh…..Speedy?” Twilight said worried. Speedy turned to see the car as well “damnit. It's Kamikaze.” The car was a white Audi R8 with a flag painted on half the car and mini guns on the doors. Kamikaze, like Crimson Fury, was also one of the fastest drivers and also lacked good enough armor. Speedy started trying harder to start the car as the Audi slowly drove closer to them. But just as Kamikaze’s mini guns started spinning a loud horn was heard as her car was hit by a fast moving semi truck. The two see it was a black Peterbilt 630 semi truck with guns on the hood and a turrent on the top.
Twilight caught a glimpse of the truck driver just as Speedy got the car running. They both took off down the road as a motorcycle flew over them. The bike was a Harley Davidson Shorttail with a paint job resembling the wonderbolts livery. The rider was wearing what looked like a old Wonderbolts suit, leather pants, and a pony skull helmet topped with a mix of purple and rainbow hair. “Well well…..Ms. Grimm joins the party.” Speedy said.
Ms.Grimm took no time and started to fire her sawnoff shotgun at Speedys car. Speedy kept control of the car as the shots dotted the side and hood of the car. Ms. Grimm was in fact tue weakest driver of them all due to her lack of armor but made up for it with powerful weaponry.
But just as she was aiming her shotgun at them the horn for the round ending blared. The radio then started again “Well that round was successful” the DJ said “We had some impressive kills from competitors like Racer and Sweet Treat. And some impressive driving from Ms. Grimm and a BRUTAL kill from Dollface. The eight competitors will now travel down south to Las Pegasus for round two. Until then, this is DJ Pon3 and keep listening for more tournament news.”
As the radio went static and the pair drove out of the city, Twilight started thinking again about the driver of that truck. She knew she saw that look before: a red and black suit with shoulder pads. “I think I know the driver of that truck” Twilight said as they got back on the highway to Las Pegasus.
Author's Note
Well now. I get this chapter is a little shorter but there is still a few more rounds to compete in. But now we see a new pony enter Twilights head as she wonders 'who was the mare driving that semi truck'.
I'll let you guess.....

The nightmare, Rarity "Dollface" Belle, and a public service announcement
The nightmare, Rarity "Dollface" Belle, and a public service announcement
While driving down the highway Twilight decided that she needed some rest after the most recent round. She soon fell asleep in the car and entered her dreamscape. In her dream it showed all her friends and the princesses as well. Twilight was so happy but soon noticed something odd. She soon saw that Applejack had some blood coming down from her mouth “AJ you're bleeding” Twilight said to the farm mare, who didn't respond back.
Twilight was confused then suddenly gasped as Applejack open her mouth and blood poured out as well as out of her eyes which were black as night. She looked at the princesses in which princess Luna was in the same state as the farm mare. Twilight watched in shock and horror as the two then collapsed and died twitching. She then saw Rainbow Dash as Ms.Grimm looking at Twilight with glossy black eyes.
Soon all her friends wore the same expression on their face: glossy black eyes staring at Twilight, with the exception of Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie who was as Sweet Treat. She looked at Celestia and saw that she was also different. Celestia was wearing a black suit with a black undershirt and blood red tie, her once flowing multicolored mane was now hanging down on her shoulders black as night. Her magnificent magenta eyes were now a glowing red.
“So……” Celestia finally said to the pale and scared Twilight “after fifteen whole years…..you're still alive. And somehow a alicorn as well.” Twilight then realized that this was Celestio, somehow using the dreamscape spell Luna did. “But…...I'm not from this world. I'm from a different Equestria.” Twilight said to the founder of the tournament.
“Oh. Well now that I know that” Celestio said “you just remind me so much of her. To bad I want to kill you to but…..since I am the founder of Twisted Metal…..maybe I can change the rules a bit. Hope you enjoyed your dream Twilight Sparkle. Now you face reality.”
Suddenly Celestio formed into a tall flaming demon and formed around Twilight. All around her was fire and pain, her ears were filled with hundreds of screams and her eyes were going black as blood came down her face. Twilight screamed but only a gurgling sound came as she choked on her own blood. All she could hear before entering the darkness was Celestio laughing maniacally.
Twilight snapped awake in her seat. Inside the car was silent besides of Speedy's breathing and the pitter patter of the raindrops hitting the windshield. “Where…...are we?” Twilight said to Speedy as he drove down the dark highway. “Just pasted Dodge Junction” Speedy said “about six more hours before Las Pegasus.” Twilight noticed that the radio was lit up and fiddled with the knob. “Something other than static will calm our nerves” she said with a small grin. Soon she found a station but soon realized it was the tournament station.
“And now we have another driver from the tournament speaking with us. She's from Ponyville and drives the Peterbilt 630 semi called Darkside, I present to all our listeners…...Rarity 'Dollface' Belle!”
“The pleasures mine darling.” Dollface said to the DJ. Twilight then realized who was talking on the radio “Rarity?!” The DJ then coughed and started talking again. “So miss Dollface. Could you please tell the listeners why you're competing in the tournament?”
“Why of course darling. About thirteen years ago I was a fashion designer. I always loved and dreamed to be Equestria's most famous superstar but had to face a little competition. I did what any lady would do: cheat. Saw off parts of shoes, tatter dresses, ruin mane styles, hell I've even killed other models. I dreamed to be at the top and I was gonna get it. Until one day I got in a unfortunate traffic accident and ruined my beautiful face.”
“After almost a dozen surgeries and therapy most of my beautiful face was fixed…..besides one terrible scar above my lip. I soon went to see another fashion mare in Manehatten and worked for her. But after a little accident she attacked me and put this mask on my face. No matter how much I try it will never come off. Point blank gunshots, corrosive materials, even simple lockpicking, but nothing is gonna get this damn mask off.”
“I entered the contest for a goal: remove the mask and give that bitch who put me in this hellish maskwhat she deserves. Then I'll become the greatest superstar in all of Equestria. I appreciate the little chat darling but I must be off. Oh..I also left you a dress in your dressing room.”
The DJ then spoke “Well that was Rarity ‘Dollface’ Belle everypony. And….hold on a sec. It appears that we have a incoming message to all competitors from Celestio herself!” the radio then cut to Celestio’s voice. “Attention all Twisted Metal competitors. I have just received news that a old enemy has reappeared in Equestria: Twilight Sparkle. She plans to use the tournament to find me and kill me destroying the tournament. I know she is currently with the driver Speedy ‘Racer’ Silverstreak.”
“Anypony able to bring down the two ponies must bring Twilight Sparkle to Canterlot for me to use. And Racer…….kill on sight.” the radio then cut to static as Twilight and Speedy looked at each other in shock and worry.
“Well” Speedy said “looks like we now have a bigger problem to resolve.”
Darkness was settled over Canterlot with the sounds of thunder in the distance. Inside the castle in her office Celestio was sitting in her desk talking to the two across from her desk. One of them was black with green bug like wings and chitin, wearing what resembled a horned yak skull while the other was a pink alicorn wearing a flight jacket with a aviation helmet sitting next to her.
“Now….let me make this simple: since you both work for me I own you. Now…...find these two” Celestio points to a old picture of Twilight and a newspaper clipping of Speedy. “I expect this to be done before the tournament is over. I made a similar mistake before and I wish not to relive it.”
The two then got up to leave but Celestio stopped the pink alicorn “Cadence. Stay here. We're still gonna chat. Minion…...go and keep your title.” Minion then formed a sharp, toothy grin and left them both. Cadence knew about Minion before Celestio’s control, she dumped her in a mine and tried to take her husband for herself and left Cadence to die.
“Now Cadence, your only to go after them in case Minion fails. I hope the Talon will be best suited for retrieval. Now onto more…..personal terms. I know you took the contract to help pay off the debt the Crystal Empire owed us but it also means you have to do what I say.”
Cadence knew all to well. After the war with Sombra over the Crystal Empire, they owed a large amount of war debt to Celestio. To save her husband Shining Armor and young daughter Flurry Heart she agreed to work for Celestio and do whatever she wants until the debt is paid off. So far for five years the toll is a lot for Cadence to handle, especially in Celestio’s personal quarters.
Cadence then tried to speak but Celestio closed her mouth with magic and got up from her desk. “ah ah ah…..you don't talk. Now…..down to business” Celestio said as she licked inside Cadences ear making her shiver. “Be in my bedroom in five minutes and we'll discuss…….business.”
Cadence then sulked out of the office towards the bedroom as Celestio looked out the window. She swore she saw a familiar figure in the lighting flash wearing a rope and rimmed glasses, and the faint smell of brimstone.

Does anybody read this? Please. Tell your friends, family, anyone. I actually try to do well writing this. Also if anyone wants their OC or have ideas let me know in the comments.
A fight with Minion and Speedy's nightmare
The storm eventually subsided leaving a dark, starry night and a open highway. Twilight couldn't sleep since her nightmare meeting with Celestio and the fact that she and Speedy now have a bounty on their heads. They were still four hours away when the radio buzzed with static and then an unfamiliar voice came on.
“This message is for the driver of the modified green Camaro, goes by Racer and holds a enemy of Celestio. Turn off the highway and enter the nearby stadium. I have two ponies in here that are dying to see you.” Speedy was still paying attention to the road until two very familiar voices came onto the radio.
“Speedy? Speedy it's me dear. I miss you.”
“Daddy I miss you! Mommy and I want to see you. Please?”
Twilight looked and saw Speedy with tears forming in his eyes. “Speedy?” Twilight said nervously as to what he was thinking. Suddenly the car lurched forward as Speedy sped off the highway towards a large looking stadium arena.
“Speedy whats going on? What's wrong?” Twilight said scared of what's happening.
“My wife and daughter! They have to be in there. I need to get them!” Speedy said as he drove faster towards the stadium.
They both entered and saw nothing but pitch black darkness as the large door behind them slammed shut. Speedy turned on the car's headlights and overhead lights and could only see a few feet ahead of them. They heard another engine and what sounded like cheering coming from all around them.
Suddenly the arena was covered in light and blinded Speedy and Twilight. They saw that the arena was filled with cheering changlings all holding merchandise that had either a yak skull or a large M on them. Both ponies were confused on what they were seeing until a loud truck horn blared in front of them.
They both saw a black semi truck with what looked like a missile launcher behind it and large cannons along the sides of the rig. Through the trucks red windows they saw the driver as a large changling wearing a familiar yak skull.
“I think we got stuck in a one on one deathmatch between us and Minion.” Speedy said to Twilight.
“Who's Minion?” Twilight said back to him with worry.
“Celestio’s personal warrior. Currently holds last year's tournament win and does whatever she is told. A little after the famous wedding in Canterlot, Celestio captured her and her changlings and forced her to do things to gruesome for others, which earned her the name Minion. But I think that we now have one thing to do” he said as he shifted the car into gear “kill this bitch.”
They both prepared for Minion to make her move so they can beat her fighting. Then Minion took off towards them while Speedy took off in another direction. “What do we have to use agianst her?” Speedy said to Twilight.
Twilight looked around the cars inventory system and showed a confident smile “at least a decent amount of bullets and a few special weapons to use.”
The car shook violently as a missile from Minions truck hit the rear. Speedy soon checked that the car's armor was halfway destroyed and that the car's fuel tank was damaged. “shit” Speedy said “she got upgrades. Only powerful military missiles can break the cars armor.” Speedy soon got behind Minion and fired at her truck. Both ponies watched as the bullets bounced off the trucks armored body.
Suddenly the cars firing system started beeping and flashing red which scared Speedy “Missile lock! She locked onto us!” Speedy soon saw the missile fly behind them and swerved just in time as the missile flew past and hit Minions truck, which left a decent size hole in the armor.
Speedy looked at the hole and at Minions weapons and suddenly thought of a plan to stop Minion. “Twilight. Tell me when the next missile will soon hit us. I'll try to keep us behind Minion.” Speedy said as he sped up right behind Minions truck.
Another missile locked onto them again and was fired again. Twilight watched as the missile got close. “and…….now!” Twilight said as Speedy swerved again and the missile hit Minion again making the hole bigger.
Twilight and Speedy cheered as the crowd above them booed at them. But through careful timing Minion was down to two rockets and had a hole that went into the weapons system of her truck. But then the car started to smoke and slow down which made Speedy nervous. “The engine overheated! I can't speed up to Minion to end her. We need to think of something to stop or slow her down.”
Twilight looked at Minions truck then remembered what she said earlier ‘a few special weapons to use’. Twilight then opened up the cars rocket launch system and armed the launchers. “What are you doing?” Speedy said to her.
“Using the rockets. If we use them mixed with that missile we can fully end Minion once and for all.” Twilight said as a missile locked on again.
“I hope you're right about this Twilight” Speedy said as he started pushing the car's engine. He knew the engine couldn't take much more and would eventually stop completely if they didn't die first. Soon the rocket is right behind them and Twilight prepared to hit the launch button.
“Now!” Twilight said to Speedy as she pressed the launch button. Speedy swerved as multiple rockets flew out of the launchers as the missile flew past them. They stopped the car and watched as Minions truck erupted in flames and exploded sending large shrapnel everywhere.
Speedy and Twilight soon cheered that she was destroyed but screamed as a large piece hit the car knocking them out as the force made them hit their heads. Soon Speedy and Twilight were out cold and in their dreamscapes.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Speedy awoke with a gasp in his leather chair. He was breathing fast and looked around seeing that he wasn't in his car but in his living room back at home. Speedy went outside and saw that he was in fact at home in his trailer inside his junkyard. He looked back inside and saw a familiar cello sitting next to the table.
Speedy remembered the wedding of him and his wife and the soon after birth of their little filly. He walked into the junkyard and heard giggling, which his daughter did when she played hide and seek. Speedy chuckled and walked deeper into the junkyard which suddenly got darker.
He soon felt nervous and that he shouldn't be there. But just as he turned around he heard the loud screams of his wife and ran deeper into the junkyard. “Tavi?! Crescendo?! Where are you two?!” Speedy said running deeper and deeper into the yard. But slowed as he started hearing a familiar ice cream tune coming from in front of him.
Soon he saw the silhouette of a mare and filly. “Octavia? Crescendo?” Speedy said nervous. Then a light shines over them and it's revealed that they had their throats slit and positioned at statues smiling towards Speedy, except for their eyes which were gouged out and placed on Ice cream cones they were holding.
“No…...no….” Speedy said backing away “no no no no!”. He kept saying this as everything got darker and darker around him. Soon he was in pitch black with sounds of laughter all around him. He fell to the ground and covered his ears. “Stop it! STOP IT!”
Speedy awoke to him lying in a bed in a hotel room. He looked around and wondered if it was another dream, but dismissed that thought as he heard a nearby shower going and what sounded like Twilight either singing or talking to herself. She walked back out shortly after drying off and sat on the other bed.
“You were out for a couple hours. I drove the rest of the way to Las Pegasus and got us a hotel.” Twilight said. Speedy lied back onto the bed and sighed.
“Thanks for driving” He said to Twilight, which she responded by smiling and lied down to go to sleep. Speedy just looked towards the ceiling as Twilight quietly slept in the other bed.
“Tomorrow is gonna be a long day.”

A night out and Speedy "Racer" Silverstreak's history lesson
A night out and Speedy "Racer" Silverstreak's history lesson
It was about a hour or so after Speedy awoke from his nightmare and Twilight going to bed that he decided to get some air. He quietly left the hotel room and walked towards the glamorous city of Las Pegasus. He decided that finding something to do would calm his problems. While walking past some of the bars and casinos he spotted a decent looking bar to enter.
Upon entering he saw that it had a decent western style with a stage and tables scattered among the center area. Speedy walked over to the bar and sat down on a barstool. A blue unicorn mare wearing black underwear, leggings, and bunny ears walked towards him holding a liquor bottle in her magic.
“Welcome to the Playstallion Bar. What would you like sir?” the mare said to Speedy with a calm tone in her voice. Speedy gave a little smile and pointed to the bottle in her magic aura. “if you say so sir. Hope you enjoy your time here.”
Speedy took the bottle as the mare gave him a glass. Just as he poured his drink the bar door open and Twilight walked in looking around. She then saw him and sat down next to him. “Speedy? I heard you leave the room and followed you here. I can tell something is bothering you and it involves your past. Please tell me what's wrong and what happened to make you like this.”
He looked at Twilight and saw the concern and worry in her eyes. He sighed and drank his glass in one swig “might as well. At least somepony should know what happened.”
“A little after the Elements of Harmony were destroyed, I was visiting Canterlot and stopped at the local music hall. I sat and watched a gorgeous grey earth mare named Octavia Melody play her cello and soon found an interest in her. After the concert I planned to go backstage and try to speak with her until I heard a commotion from the alley next to the building.”
“I walked in and saw that a stallion pinned her to the ground and had a knife to her throat. I suddenly was overcome with fury and charged right into him. Everything was a blur during then but I remember dropping him into the dumpster in the alley. I helped Octavia up and offered her a ride home, which she accepted.”
“Soon after that we started to spend time with each other and eventually started dating each other. I think about thirteen years ago we were married and about a year after we had our daughter, which I named Crescendo after my deceased mother. We lived great in my home for a decent amount of years and enjoyed the love we had for each other.”
“But…...four years ago…..Crescendo ran out into the junkyard and Octavia went to look for her. I was finishing up some work when I heard both of them screaming. I ran as fast as I possibly could towards the source and found their dead and dismembered bodies. As I held their bodies I saw Sweet Treat’s truck driving out of the main gate. I knew then and there that she killed my family and vowed to get vengeance for their deaths.”
“After their funeral I built the Camaro out of one of my race cars and started to compete in the tournament to get revenge and kill Sweet Treat. I plan to kill her and use my wish from Celestio to bring back the lives of my wife and daughter. I miss them so much and if there was some way in Tartarus that I can get them back, I am willing to take it at any cost.”
Once Speedy was done talking he saw that not only Twilight was watching with wide eyes but that everypony in the bar was watching, even the band stopped and listened with wide eyes. He then paid the mare and walked with Twilight back to the hotel staying silent the whole time. As they entered the room Speedy tapped Twilight and spoke to her.
“Thanks for listening to my story Twilight. Usually others would say get over it or that I'm crazy, but you actually care that it made me see that there is a chance for anything.” Twilight was about to say that he was welcome when suddenly he leaned forward and kissed her mouth. Twilight's eyes widen and her wings flew open as he deepened his kiss.
Soon he stopped kissing her and crawled into bed and prepared to go to sleep. Twilight was about to enter her bed but then looked over and crawled into Speedy's bed and cuddled with him until they fell asleep.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Celestio laid agitated in her bed with Cadence sleeping next to her. Within the hours of being pleasured by the sleeping mare she learned that Speedy and Twilight were not only able to evade Minion but also kill her.
Celestio sighed and gently shook Cadence awake. The pink alicorn mumbled a little then rose her head to face her so called master. “Cadence get up and get dressed. Your taking the Talon and flying to Las Pegasus for the next tournament round. I want you to spectate from above and keep an eye on those two ponies causing me trouble. I expect good results from you for doing this, maybe I'll even lower the debt you owe.”
Cadence got out of bed and sluggishly got into her flight suit and left the bedroom for her helicopter. As Celestio heard Cadence fly away she looked out the balcony window and saw the familiar figure again but looking back at her. The figures round lens glasses glowed purple as a flash of lightning caused it to vanish.
“I'll get you Brimstone” Celestio said “you won't win this time……..”

Round 2: Las Pegasus
The sky was a mix of red and orange as Twilight and Speedy waited for the next round to start. Thunder and lightning came from the clouds above Las Pegasus as them and eight others waited with anticipation to start fighting. Soon each of the racers car radio's came live with Celestio’s voice coming through.
“Welcome to the second round contestants. This round will focus on the speed and power of your vehicles. I have posted twelve checkpoints throughout the course and it is required you pass through seven minimum. Also to keep it interesting, we have the loyal followers of some of our popular drivers willing to risk their lives for this sport.”
Soon afterwards three large amounts of vehicles flooded into the streets with each driver wearing a clown mask, doll mask, or a skull mask to resemble what faction they are a part of. The starting horn then blared and the contestants entered the city to start racing.
All drivers were quickly starting to notice completing the task of checkpoints due to the added drivers was more complicated than needed so they focused more on killing the drivers to thin out the competition. Speedy drove with ease through the carnage hoping to complete this challenge with barely any problems.
Around five checkpoints in a blue and pink formula one race car drove up behind Speedy's car and started shooting at them. The driver was a blue green pegasus with a orange mane wearing a bloody Wonderbolts suit.
“Looks like Lightning Dust wants this win.” Speedy said “Ever since her forced removal from the Wonderbolts she's been in a blood rage ever since and killed half the group including Spitfire and Soarin.”
“Looks like she takes winning seriously” Twilight said looking back at her. Then from an alleyway a yellow Checkered Marriott taxicab hit Lightning Dust making her lose control. Twilight saw that the driver looked like a undead earth stallion with a unicorn filly holding a remote control.
“Yellow Jacket” Speedy said letting the taxi pass him “Doctor Whooves and his daughter Dinky. She made a controller for him cause he got shot once and died. I'm good friends with her mo-...SHIT!!” he swerved quickly to avoid being hit by Dollface and her truck the Juggernaut, which caused him to crash into a store.
Yellow Jacket spun around and started firing at Juggernaut but to no avail as Dollface sped up and forced the taxi off the road into a building totalling the car. Speedy saw Dinky fiddle with the broken controller the quickly running away from the wreck as a rocket from Lightning Dust blew it up in flames.
Speedy backed out of the store and drove as fast as he could towards Dinky. “We got one chance. When I say ‘three’ open your door and grab Dinky.” Speedy said to Twilight as he gripped the emergency brake.
Dinky ran as fast as her hooves could go while bullets from Lightning Dust's car flew over her. She turned and saw her car and Speedy's car coming towards her and tried running faster. Not looking back she heard a explosion and tires screeching closer to her.
Speedy fired a rocket slowing down the race car as he sped towards Dinky. He gripped the brake harder and started to count. “One…..”
He slowed down a little to time it right
“Two…..”
He put his hoof on the clutch to help with the brake
“Three!”
He pulled the brake locking the rear wheels sending the car into a slide then turned the wheel so the car spun behind Dinky. Twilight the opened the door and leaned out grabbing her and pulling her inside. Speedy then spun the car again back the way it was and kept driving.
Dinky started to hyperventilate and cry as she lost her father while Twilight tried to calm her down. Speedy saw Lightning Dust in front of him and sped up quickly using the cars nitro. He rammed into the back of her car and fired bullets into the back destroying the engine while a few went through into Lightning Dust.
She slumped over the wheel dead as the car careened out of control then was shattered into pieces by Dollface’s Juggernaut semi truck. Then the horn blared again signaling the end of the round. The radio then started back up with the DJ talking again.
“A very impressive round this time as we added the different factions to the race. Racer coming in with a amazing save to Yellow Jackets passenger and Dollface finishing off both cars with Twister unfortunately ending her blood lust with bullets to the back and her car destroyed.
“Celestio would like to congratulate the remaining six drivers for competing in this round and that the next round takes place in Ponyville in a couple days. Good luck drivers and kick some ass!” the radio then cut to static.
Later that day Derpy Hooves walked through the Las Pegasus hospital quickly and terrified. She thought her daughter was either dead or severely injured and started to wonder where she went wrong. Derpy used to be a tournament competitor until a round costed her sight problems and made her cross eyed. It was then she decided to stop and start a family until Dinky wanted to do what she used to do.
Speedy was waiting for Derpy and quickly walked up to her and spoke. “She's okay. Just suffered some small cuts and bruises and some shock. She's in that hospital room” he said pointing to a nearby room. Derpy walked in to see Twilight sleeping on a couch while Dinky was watching cartoons on TV.
Derpy teared up and ran to her daughter embracing her in a big hug. Speedy tapped Twilight awake and signalled her for them to leave. Both left the hospital and drove out of Las Pegasus and set their destination to Ponyville.

Celestio slammed her hooves onto her desk in anger. Cadence sat in a adjacent chair holding back tears with red hoof sized marks on her face starting to turn purple. “This has gone too far!” Celestio shouted “They need to be stopped now! I guess I'll have to do this myself then. Leave…...NOW!” Celestio shouted at Cadence, who left in a sobbing mess.
Shortly afterwards the office doors opened and Sweet Treat stepped in with some of her faction members. “Ah Sweet Treat “ Celestio greeted “glad you could come. I won't spend most of your time so I'll make this quick as possible.”
“I need you and your gunners to stop Racer and Twilight before the next round. I don't care how but just do it and bring her here immediately afterwards. I left you one of Dollface’s Juggernauts full with weapons for you to use as pleased. If you complete this task I will reward you greatly.”
Sweet Treat smiled evilly under her mask and left the office with her group behind her. Celestio sat back in her chair and looked out at her balcony and saw the figure again standing away. The figure then said something and vanished with a lightning flash as the words repeated in Celestio’s head.
“You did this…….. you demon fromTartarus…….”

Sorry this chapter is a little late but I've been busy. Next chapter will most likely be a clop chapter and maybe a little backstory to another character in the story
........Damnit...
Speedy pulled into the hotels parking lot and walked back into the hotel room with Twilight. Both were glad they made it to the next round and Twilight really wanted to see what Ponyville looked like during this time and if anypony she knew still lives there. Speedy let Twilight use the shower first as he ordered food from the front desk over the room phone.
As she showered Twilight thought about the night before when she and Speedy kissed and cuddled. She saw that after all those years of suffering from his family's death that he actually felt happy. Soon she finished her shower and left the bathroom to see Speedy had a small table with two plates of food on them set. “guessing you ordered this.” Twilight said in which he nodded in response.
“Figured we could eat an actual meal besides gas station food and talk a bit.” Speedy said back with a smile. Twilight gave a small smile in return and sat in the seat across from him. She looked at the plate of vegetable lasagna with a glass of wine and a small salad and gave a soft smile.
“Thank you. It's nice to sit and finally relax a little.” She said as she sat at the table with Speedy across from her. Through half the dinner the two both ate in silence before Speedy cleared his throat. “Twilight. I'm sorry about…...earlier. It's been awhile since I actually felt a mares lips against mine. I didn't want to come off as a creep to you.” Twilight wiped some food off her face with a napkin and looked at her friend.
“I understand Speedy. It must've been tough to cope with your family's loss.” Twilight said noticing Speedy rubbing his neck. “Yeah about that…” he said “They're not actually dead.” Twilight looked at the stallion with wide eyes before muttering a simple “What?”
“In reality they're alive…..well sort of. After I found their bodies and Sweet Treat left Crescendo actually regained consciousness. Luckily my sister was coming to visit and arrived just as my little filly woke up. We found that Octavia had barely a pulse and we got them to the hospital as fast as we could. Docs were able to save them but as some costs.”
“My little filly had to have her torso sewn shut cause he intestines were spilled out and she had to have her rear leg and front foreleg replaced with prosthetic limbs. She suffered a large amount of brain trauma and had massive internal bleeding. The doctors have had her in a medically induced coma for the past four years.”
“Octavia suffered worse on her end of things. The doctors had to replace some of her organs with donors including lung, kidney, and part of her heart. She spent the first six months with her insides on full display to make sure that it all healed before she was sewn shut. Her nervous system and spinal cord was broken in multiple places so she'll be paralyzed from her forelegs down. And her brain suffered major trauma followed by having an artificial eye installed into her right eye socket.”
“In her case the doctors wanted to try to see if they could fix her in a way. So with my consent I had her sent to be worked on and hopefully have her return to me. They said she'll be part cyborg but I don't care, I just want her back.” Twilight noticed Speedy crying and walked over to hug him. “Shhhhhh….. It's okay. Just let it out” Twilight cooed as he cried into her shoulder.
Soon afterwards the table was cleaned and both sat on their beds and watching TV. As they sat Twilight looked over at Speedy and thought a bit about him. ‘He's gone through so much in his life over these years and yet I can't help but feel I'm involved in all this. And with what he said about Pin…..Sweet Treat, it wouldn't make sense on how she went that crazy. Even when she went into her episode where she thought nopony liked her it wasn't this bad. Maybe once this nightmare of a contest ends I could figure out why she became that.' Twilight decided to put her thoughts to rest as she continued to watch the television while Speedy fell asleep in his bed.
____________________________________________________________________________
After a few hours of rest Twilight and Speedy had some of their things packed and placed into the trunk of the Racer Camaro. As they finished packing Twilight was looking at the GPS inside the car as the duo planned on driving through the rest of the night and reach Ponyville by morning. They technically still had a few days before the next round but they planned to scout the city for any good routes and shortcuts depending on what Celestio planned for the next event. "Okay, if we take the Interstate and hop on Highway 37 it should take us towards Sweet Apple Acres and maybe if we're lucky any remaining Apple family would let us stay there." Twilight said marking the destination.
"And if no one is there or they're not friendly to us?" Speedy said locking the hotel room and tossing his racing outfit in the backseat. "Then either we stay there anyway or maybe my old treehouse library is still there." Twilight respond as she put her seatbelt on. Soon they both were in the car and outside the hotel's office. "Let me return the keys then we can get going" Speedy said leaving the car and walking inside towards the hotel manager. As he returned the room key and walked out Speedy noticed a shape in the darkness towards the back of the parking lot. "Is that….." he said as he squinted for a better look, realizing that the shape is a familiar ice cream van. "Oh no…."
Moving quickly, Speedy rushed back to his car to a surprised Twilight. "We have to go now. Sweet Treat's here." Speedy said as the camaro lurched forward towards the exit. As he got onto the road though the car was suddenly blinded by bright lights followed by a large crash. The duo's senses were blurred as the car barrel rolled down the road until landing on its roof and skidded to a stop. Speedy groaned in pain as he took the blunt of the hit as he tried to lift his hoof to unhook his seatbelt, only to see he was already on the crumpled roof and that his belt was hanging from the seat. Meanwhile Twilight regained her senses quickly as she undid her seatbelt as Speedy lost consciousness again.
As she got her belt undone though her door opened and a mass of arms grabbed her and dragged her out of the car. "We got her boss!" One of the ponies said, who was wearing overalls and was covered in clown paint. As Twilight struggled to break free she saw Sweet Treat step out of her van and walk towards them dragging her machete. "What about the other one?" She said as her men dragged Twilight towards the back of the van. "Most likely dead" a clown pony said as she got out of the Juggernaut semi "no way in hell you'd survive a direct hit like that. Besides, there's enough shit in that thing that it'll cause a nice explosion" pointing to the growing puddle of gasoline and napalm coming from the wrecked car.
"Good. Then let's give Celestio her new pet and get what we were rewarded." Sweet Treat said as she scraped her machete into the puddle, causing some sparks to ignite a fire. While she walked back to the van Twilight was tossed into the back and locked in surrounded by old ice cream machines and the stench of decay. Left in the dark Twilight banged and struggled to open the rear doors only finding they won't open and that Sweet Treat started driving. Soon the convoy disappeared into the night leaving behind a flaming car.
____________________________________________________________________________
As the flame started to consume the wrecked Camaro an older looking El Camino with stained glass windows rolled up to the wreckage while a beaten up helicopter landed nearby. A figure in a trenchcoat and hat then stepped out of the can and walked to the wreck, unaffected by the flames or heat. Another taller figure left the helicopter and watched as the other figure ripped off a part of the car and pulled out a third figure and carried them to the helicopter before the wreck exploded from the weapons and bombs on board. Soon both figures were together while the shorter one loaded the third onto a medical stretcher and loaded them into the helicopter.
"Will he make it?" The taller figure said with a hint of worry while the shorter one watched the unconscious figure as they closed the side door. "I'm not sure Cadence. But if we get back soon he can get treatment and recover. Then we can talk to him about this second version of me in this world. Think you can get him back?" Brimstone said to Cadence as she started walking back to her car. "Of course I can. Be careful please Twilight." Cadence said as she out her pilot helmet on and got in her Talon. Soon both signs of the two were gone and the only thing left was the charred remains of the remains of team Racer.
