Chapter Two: The Elements of Harmony

Status Report

Not entirely sure what you were expecting, asking me to file these "reports". I know I have some inside information but this seems a bit extreme. Whatever. You pay the bits. Just watch your flank. Digging around in this society is much more dangerous than you - no. You do know. You're one determined horse, 'Beatrix'. I would tell you a lot more cliche lines about my worries for you, but I won't. Just come and visit us sometime. Me and LD can sneak you into The Canterlot Empire somehow. LD can make you a fake ID or I can knock out the guards. Anyways, the first report is enclosed in this letter. I'll need to send them all separately as to not draw attention with a fat envelope.

Love ya,

R.K. & LD

Starlight Glimmer

Today was a weird, bizarre, confusing, odd, confusing, weird... day. In fact, after this morning, she didn't think it could get any weirder.

That was until a knife was pressed against her throat.

A pair of dark pink eyes threatened to burn hers to ashes. Magical energy flashed across the irises, giving the illusion of beautiful pink waves sloshing around inside her eyes. It could have been considered beautiful by any unicorn who didn't have a piece of sharp, cold metal against her neck.

Releasing her held breath was a mistake as her neck was forced to press even harder against the blade, drawing a thin red line beneath her chin. She wanted to flinch away from the pain, but she knew that doing that would be a... mistake.

Instead, she barred her teeth and forced out a few quiet, words. "What do you want?" Her attacker didn't seem to react to her words. Her breathing, which was right against her muzzle at this point, didn't even hitch or change.

She was perfectly calm. Which was concerning.

Was she here for her? For Twilight? For Spike?! All of them?! Was she a burglar? A tax collector?!

"Starlight? You're still here?" Oh, buck me! Starlight didn't turn her head, but she could tell that that was Spike several feet behind her. She hoped that this other mare didn't see him-

"Oh! Somepony is here! I'll go get Twilight!" Twilight! Yes! She should be able to take care of this pony! She's an alicorn, surely she could-

"No cocky comment this time? A shame. I would've liked a magical surge to carve your flesh into tiny pieces." Starlight flinched very slightly, causing the knife to be pressed twice as hard against her. She could feel a few drops of warm blood dripping down her chest. "You're not going anywhere."

Oh Celestia, please! I don't wanna die!

Magic was out of the question. This pony wasn't stupid. She'd probably slit her throat the moment she ignited her horn. Straight up fighting was also a no-go. Hoof to hoof fighting against a unicorn would be hard for an earth pony, much less another unicorn. And it's not like she'd get one hit in before that sharp object was between her head and her heart. That meant there was only one option left:

"Please don't kill me!"

Beg.

She expected her outburst to at least startle the mare but again, she didn't even flinch. Was she deaf or something? Do I really wanna take that risk? No. Did she really have a choice? No.

"TWILIGHT! HELP!" Again, hardly any movement from the pony. So she was deaf. Starlight almost smiled. She had a chance-

"I know you're yelling." Starlight's pupils dilated. "I might be deaf but I can feel your breath on my face. What, not going to fight me on your own? And you called me a coward for fighting you with my family! You remember them, don't you? Well, this is for them!" A glowing blue hoof smashed against the side of Starlight's face. The force of the blow sent her lurching to the right, pain quickly spreading throughout her body. Her entire body went numb. She could practically feel this mare's magic invading her blood stream. But how? All she did was-

"You won't be moving for a while. Perfect." With the knife still against her throat, the unicorn took a few steps back, allowing Starlight to finally see the mare in full.

The mare was much buffer than any normal unicorn. The muscles in her legs and forelegs were nearly twice as thick as an average unicorn's, implying that she did a lot of running or fighting with her hooves. Her coat was a light cerulean color which had several unkempt patches. Her mane was a mix of light silver and baby blue which could've looked much better if it was cleaned... at all. On her back were two heavy looking turquoise saddlebags, the right one having a pretty big rip in the side. On each of her flanks was a wand cutie mark with a starry, cyan crescent moon coming out of the tip. It was a mark that symbolized a special talent in magic.

Even if she didn't have a knife, she would still have been pretty intimidating.

"Paralysis Spell. One of the many I stole from the Canterlot Magical Reservoir." Starlight would've raised an eyebrow if her face wasn't still numb. Canterlot Magical Reservoir? The name didn't ring any bells... "I left your mouth unaffected. I might be deaf, but it becomes a necessity to read lips when talking to someone who can't." She seemed to spit out that word. Someone who couldn't talk? What did that mean?

"Who are you?!"

"Like you don't remember." The mare growled. "I'm the one who survived. Oh, how many bits I would've paid to see Celestia dig into you!" Starlight's eyes widened. Could this mare... possibly be one from her old village?! She didn't remember seeing her there when she went and apologized to all of them or seeing her at there when she took it over. She mentioned family... Was she related to one of those ponies? Did she still think she was that same pony? It would explain some of her actions...

She opened her mouth to try and say something but was stopped when the mare raised a hoof. "Ah, but that's besides the point. I didn't come here to kill you. However..." All four of her cerulean hooves began glowing a light pink color. "I will make you pay for what you did to my family!"

Rearing up on her hind legs, the mare slammed her front hooves onto the crystal floor. A large pink shock wave extended from her hooves, making small cracks in the floor and the walls. A cocky smile spread across the mare's face. "This is for Arcadeus and Gilda!"

Starlight did not expect the mare to turn around and do a back flip however she froze in place half way through, leaving her body suspended upside down with all four glowing hooves pointed directly at Starlight. Pure magical energy began to congregate and compress in between her hooves, forming somewhat of an energy ball.

Starlight was trembling. She hadn't felt magic like this since she was flying through a portal into the past! And it was all In the shape of a small pink ball. What kind of magic is this?!

The mare, apparently finished with gathering energy, finished her flip and this time reared up her hind legs, a lot like a certain apple farmer ready to buck a tree. Only instead of a tree, it was an orb of pure magical death!

Her hind hooves connected with the orb and instead of actually just sending it at Starlight, a huge beam of pink energy shot out of it. Some might want to look at it from three different angles in rapid succession. Starlight didn't even notice that the knife wasn't at her throat anymore. Her instincts began screaming at her to throw up a magical barrier or something but with the spell still active on her, it was impossible.

Starlight never really understood the term "frozen in fear". She always had a calm, collected demeanor even when fighting a bucking alicorn. But now, her body was forcing her to stay in place. Not even her magic would rush to her horn.

Something violet flashed into her view and suddenly a familiar looking magical shield appeared in front of her. The noise when the magics collided was ear-splitting. Heavy wind whipped around her, sending her mane and tail into complete disarray. She closed her eyes as tightly as she could, praying to Celestia that this was some bad nightmare.

Reality sucks.

Archie

Archie smiled lazily as he watched Trixie trot into the distance and towards the village. He just hoped that this time she didn't overdo herself like in the past towns.

His gaze slowly turned away from the retreating scenery and to the back of Gaia's neck. The griffon had adamantly refused when he suggested he could walk fine by himself so he was being forcefully carried by her. Although he'd be lying if he said he didn't enjoy it just a little bit.

Reaching out with his front hooves, he wrapped them gently around the feathery neck in front of him. Unlike when anything else tries to show her affection, Gaia didn't tense up or flinch away from his touch. In fact, she openly embraced his affection. Seeing Gaia actually smile all those years back for the first time when he gave her some of his love made him want to see it all the time.

And every time he hugged her, that same smile spread on her face.

Archie bolted awake, mouth opened into a silent scream. His hooves held the side of his head tightly, tears now openly dripping out of his wide eyes. He could feel it... Feel them... The scapels cutting into his outer shell, needles being forced into his legs with powerful magnets all over his limbs, the burning agony of having his wings ripped from their roots, his horn being repeatedly stomped on and kicked until it broke off, the molten iron burning his body with a permanent reminder of what happened, his throat being cut open in order to shut him up...

His stomach began convulsing. His head pounded. His body was shaking.

It's not fair... It's not fair! What did I do to deserve this?! Silent sobs wracked his body as he tossed and turned, trying to shake the awful, disgusting memories away. Trying to shake away the smiling faces of the stallions and mares that chained him down and took turns beating him.

Trying to shake away the pain.

His body froze immediately when he felt a pair of talons grab his shoulders. "Archie? Can you turn your body off? It's making a lot of noise." Gaia... His savior... Yet he always just caused trouble for her.

He mouthed a small "sorry", knowing that she couldn't see him. Besides, it seemed to be the only thing that he did nowadays. Apologize. 'Sorry for eating the last apple. I know you like them. I'm sorry.' 'Sorry for making you carry me. I'm sorry for being an inconvenience to you.' 'I'm sorry for wasting your time.' It was all the same.

"Hey. You alright? You're shaking." He was? And he didn't even realize it... Again, he mouthed a "sorry" before forcing his body to stay still and hanging his head. "I'll take that as a no. What's wrong? You have a nightmare or something?"

Damn it... Archie had tried desperately to keep these nightly night terrors to himself and away from Gaia. She had enough to worry about. And now this too?

"You... remembering your... past?" He couldn't stop his head from giving a small, subtle nod. "You wanna... talk about it?" He shook his head. "Okay... Well, if you want to, I'll be here. We're sticking together. So I'm here for you... Merciful Talons above, I'm bad at his sappy shit." Gaia laughed dryly. "But, um... just remember that, okay?"

Archie's eyes widened. He could feel a familiar energy entering his body. An energy he hadn't tasted in so long.

Love... It was love... coming from Gaia...

Archie whipped around and threw himself at Gaia, making her fall backwards with him on top. "Archie? What the hell?" Archie buried his face into the white patch of feathers on her breast, tears quickly soaking them. His black hooves were wrapped tightly around Gaia. "Archie...?"

With a shaky hoof, Archie lightly began tapping and doing tiny rubs on Gaia's back. (- .... .- -. -.- -.-- --- ..-)

Gaia's eyes began leaking tears and a small smile grew on her face. She wrapped her talons around Archie, although with a bit of reluctance, and gave him an awkward hug. "C'mon, you stupid bug. I'm supposed to be the tough one, damnit..."

Archie hid his smile in Gaia's chest, his body trembling. Again, he felt that enticing pull of Gaia's love pouring into his body. It was calming, feeling love for the first time in nearly a decade. It almost made him feel like a changeling again.

But it didn't matter what he was. He had someone who cared about him again.

He had a family again.

Archie tightened his hug slightly and closed his eyes. He'd become so accustomed to feeling love from both Gaia and Trixie that he almost forgot what it was like to live without it. While he could survive off of regular food, he didn't need to eat much when he could feed off some love.

He just hoped they weren't loving him so he'd eat less.

Archie smiled at the thought. Ha. Yeah right.

Starlight Glimmer

When life decided to snap her out of shock, the wind had settled, the magical attack was gone, and her body could move again. Her first thought was to run but stopped when she saw Twilight standing once in front of her.

And, hovering a few feet above where that bizarre magic came from, was that blue mare, surrounded by Twilight's magical aura with a very bored expression on her face. "Twilight!"

The princess turned towards her with a relieved smile on her face. "Starlight! Oh, thank Celestia you're okay! I was so-"

"Meh."

Both mares turned towards the blue one who still looked very bored. "If this is the best you've got, I think that Celestia chose the wrong pony for the Elements..."

"What?!" Twilight was practically fuming. "I'll have you know that my magic is much superior to yours! But that is not why she chose me! Besides, I don't think you're in any position to talk, Trixie!"

Starlight's ears perked. "Wait, you know her?!"

"Yeah. I thought she'd changed, but..." Twilight gave a sigh. "I suppose not. But she's contained now. She can't get out of my magic grip-"

"Okay, seriously?" The pony apparently called Trixie called. "At least use a level three Telekinetic Grasp spell! This spell is pathetic!"

"What?!" Starlight took a step away from Twilight, who's mane was beginning to spark. "Celestia herself taught me this spell-"

"Ah. That explains it. You learned from a teacher who is shit. I'd rather learn from a little filly."

"HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT ABOUT CELESTIA! I COULD HAVE YOU JAILED, YOU ANNOYING BRAGGART!" Once again, Starlight was trembling in fear, but now from an alicorn who's mane and tail were on fire and eyes filled with pure rage.

Trixie just let out a small yawn. "With this spell?" She blew a raspberry. "Puh-lease. If you want to jail me..." Trixie raised a hoof and punched a hole in the aura surrounding her, making Twilight's magic fizzle out and causing the mare fall to the floor. "You'll need stronger magic than that."

"W-What?" This time, it was Twilight who was suprised and shocked. "H-How did you..."

"If that's all it takes to raise the sun, maybe I could hold it for ransom or something..." Trixie put a hoof to her chin. "Oh, the things I could ask for..."

"What kind of amulet are you using?! Did you get the Alicorn Amulet back?!" When Trixie didn't answer, Twilight slammed her hooves onto the crystal floor and spread her wings to full length. "Answer me!"

"Twilight..." She tapped the enraged Alicorn on the shoulder. "She's deaf... Did you forget?"

"Huh? No she's not! How has she been hearing us?"

"By reading our lips? Didn't you meet her before?"

"I have! And she wasn't deaf, for Equestria's sake! In fact, she seemed to hear everything that was said about her!"

"Well, she is now! So what are we going to do about her?! She broke through your spell with no magic at all!"

"...I don't know..."

Trixie

Trixie clicked her tongue, watching the two ponies bickering between themselves. Sadly, she could only make out one half of the conversation. They seemed to be talking about her, but it was hard to tell with only being able to read Valkyrie's lips.

I could probably kill both of them right now... But if they're here, they probably know what I want to know. And it's not like they could stop me from leaving... Trixie cleared her throat, drawing the attention of both mares.

"I can hold off on my revenge on you-" She pointed a hoof at Valkyrie, who flinched slightly. "for a little while longer. Just answer my questions. But if you tell Celestia I was here..." Her hooves reignited and the knife she'd tossed to the side landed on her upturned hoof. "I'll kill both of you." Trixie smirked when both of them went wide-eyed. She should kill them, but that'd draw attention to this area. And they needed to stay here for a while.

She'd kill then when they left if they were still in town.

"Do I make myself clear?" Without waiting for them to answer, Trixie tapped the knife against the crystal floor. "Are the other Elements in this town?" They both nodded, a confused look on their faces. Trixie only grunted. Of course they'd all just so happen to be in the town we're heading to. How could they have known?! "Have there been any big threats or disasters within the last six months?" The lavender alicorn went on about some pretty serious sounding stuff; A magic stealing centaur thing, a bug bear, weird black tentacles with blue spikes, and a time travelling pony who almost ended the world. No wonder Unicornia looked like this!

For some reason, Valkyrie looked ill while that last one was being explained. Odd.

"Are there any immediate threats here?" Their negative response somewhat relieved her. Well, aside from the immediate threat in front of me.

"Lastly, point me in the direction of your cheapest place to get a lot of food."

Starlight Glimmer

Starlight couldn't help but feel that today had somehow gotten even weirder. Trixie, a pony who had put a knife to her throat, tried to vaporize her with some sort of unknown magic, punched a hole in Twilight's spell, and then threatened to kill both of them was just walking away from the castle. No punishment. No panic-filled screaming. No rioting. Just an eerie quietness in the castle's main corridor.

Okay, that second one wasn't true. Twilight was currently hyperventilating and mumbling obscenities at the cerulean mare. It was very odd to see her worked up like this. Sure, she got very agitated from time to time, but not like... this!

"Twilight...?" Starlight asked, cautiously taking a step closer. "You okay?"

"Am I okay...? Am I okay?! AM I OKAY?!" Starlight flinched at Twilight's raised tone, praying to Celestia that she wasn't on the receiving end of... this. "No! Because that braggart not only mocks me, but also Celestia! Right in front of me! And she expects me not to tell her?! Who does she think she is?!"

"Um, Twilight-"

"SPIKE! I need you to take a letter! Right now!"

"Twilight, I don't think-"

Before Starlight could finish her thought, Spike rushed into the room, scroll and quill ready. "Ready!"

Clearing her throat, Twilight began the letter, her pacing not helping anypony present. "'Dear Princess Celestia, recently there was an attack on my castle and on my student Starlight. It is with great regret that I must tell you that this attack was done by a pony I thought had changed by the name of Trixie-'"

"Wait, Trixie?!" Spike stared wide eyed at Twilight. "Trixie was here?!"

"Yes, I'll explain soon. But I need to get a message to Celestia immediately!" Spike quickly nodded and raised his quill once again. "Anyways, continuing where I left off, '-and it appears she has in her possession magic not even I have seen before. I'm worried that she might have gotten her hooves on the Alicorn Amulet again or possibly something even stronger. Since there are no officers in Ponyville, I would like to formally request a small squad of at least five guards be sent here to apprehend her. Normally I'd do it myself if possible, but she seems to be capable of breaking through my magical grip and possibly my other spells. She might have found a way to personally block my magic. She did have a grudge against me for a while. I'd like to warn these guards that she is armed and doesn't mind making threats on somepony's life. Yours truly, Twilight Sparkle.'"

Starlight bit the inside of her cheek and turned to look out the open castle doors. Trixie had disappeared from view. Something nagged at her mind as every detail of the mare flashed through her mind. She tried to match the details to any of the ponies in her old village but only things that were minor coincidences came to mind like mane style or coat color. While a filly or colt could share these qualities with their parents, it wasn't guaranteed. In fact, it was nearly a bit flip for whether or not they did get their parents attributes or not.

But one particular thought wouldn't stop poking at her brain. The look in her eyes... It was the same one she had all those months ago when she looked in the mirror at her old village. A look a bitterness, rage, and vengeance. But buried under those was something even stronger.

It was a look of purpose.

"Trixie... Just who are you?"

Trixie

Trixie sighed when she felt the castle doors shut behind her. It was almost humorous how none of them bothered to check behind the huge, open doors for eavesdroppers. But what she saw was far from funny.

The purple one didn't bother to heed her warning. She saw that wisp of green smoke fly out the nearest window. All it took was a quick spell for her to find out it was a letter that began with 'Dear Princess Celestia'. Although why she referred to her as 'Princess' was beyond her.

But that wasn't important. What was important was the fact that the second that message made it to the Queen, an entire battalion would be on their way to arrest her, not without trying to beat her up a bit. The royal guard was infamous for beating ponies before taking them into custody and, sometimes, doing even worse things to... mares.

It was disgusting how this damned country was both racist and sexist, even to it's own race.

Buck this country...

The stares and odd looks were still very obvious to Trixie as she trotted down the dirt path. She had to admit; All this attention without the threat of being jailed was rather nice. It was even nicer to know that they were scared of her.

They should be. All it would take is one spell for everything they cherish to be destroyed.

Of course, she'd never do that, even to bastards like unicornians. As far as she was concerned, they weren't part of this country. No. These kinds of spells were only for them. The ponies who ran this country. The ponies who took pleasure in other's pain. The ponies who take what they have for granted.

The ponies who were a part of the Elements.

Beatrix felt a hard hoof rest on her shoulder, snapping her out of her daze. She turned to it's owner, Archie, who pointed just underneath his eye, a worried expression etched into his face. Beatrix quickly wiped away the tears that were streaming down her face and turned away from him. "I'm fine..."

Yet another lie she'd told him. She wasn't fine. In fact, if she didn't have Archie and Gaia to worry about, she'd probably run back into The Canterlot Empire and kill that bucking bitch!

"Those damned Elements..."

"W-Wait, please! I'm sorry! I-It was just one loaf!" Beatrix turned to look towards the source of the screams and almost groaned when she saw an alleyway on the other side of the street. Against her better judgement, she trotted over and peeked around the corner. All she could see were the backsides of two ponies.

"Aww, look at her, Party! So cute... So adorable... So... pure..."

"Stop moaning! Sweet Lunala, you're acting like you're receiving a proper rut-"

"Oh, Bite me! I've seen what you do with those mares before you kill them. But this cute little thing..." Beatrix barely heard a whimper over one of the mare's cackling. "This filly's all mine."

"N-No! Please! I-I was starving! I-I'll give it back! Please don't hurt me!"

"Aww, do you hear her Party? Oh damn, I can't wait!" The mare on the left suddenly rushed forward. The filly let out a high pitched scream but it was quickly cut off when the pony...

Beatrix shoved a hoof over her mouth and forced herself to look away. She could hear the filly's muffled screams while the other pony, presumably named Party, kept making lewd remarks.

She felt sick to her stomach. That mare... She... Doing that to a filly...

Beatrix knew where this was going. It wasn't that difficult to figure out. That mare was planning on doing more than forcefully kissing a bucking filly...

The sound of somepony smacking their lips brought Beatrix back to the situation at hoof. "Mmm. For a filly, she's a damn good kisser..."

"Have I mentioned how bucked up you are?"

"Like you aren't more than I am."

"Touche. So what? You just gonna do your thing in public? I didn't take you as an exhibitionist."

"Well, sometimes I can't help myself sometimes. I mean, look at her! Beautiful orange fur, bright violet mane and tail, big purple eyes, nice round flank... Say, what's your name cutie?"

"S-S-Scoo... taloo..."

"Scootaloo, hmm? See Party? Even her name is adorable!"

"So you want me to stay and watch, or..."

"Stick around if you want. You know as well as I do that the sounds of screaming or even moaning coming from alleyways isn't anything new here. Nopony will bother looking. Hear that, Scootaloo? We can be private here. Just me and you..."

"P-Please don't hurt me... I'm sorry..."

"Oh, don't cry. I don't want to hurt you. I just want to have a bit of... fun..."

"F-Fun?"

"Mmhm... We can have a lot of fun..."

"Oh, buck it. Fine, I'll stay and watch. I know that tone of yours. Don't wanna miss this! You don't mind if I just help myself, do you?"

"Of course not. Make yourself comfortable."

"Sweet."

"Now, darling... Let's have some fun..."

Beatrix felt her tooth crack under the pressure her jaw was giving it. She felt disgusted just thinking about it. It didn't take long to realize that the pony 'Party' was likely 'Party Killer' and the other pony was one of the other Elements. What they were doing in the streets of Canterlot was beyond her. But all that mattered was what those bastards did to that filly, Scootaloo.

Another reason to kill those miserable pieces of Eques scum.

Trixie stared up at the shop in front of her. Oddly enough, it looked like a bakery of some sorts. Valyrie had said something along the lines of 'Cougercube Morter' or something. Apparently this place had some cheap food, which was odd since it was, well, a bakery. Most bakeries charge from ten to twenty bits for a single... loaf... (Ugh, damn it...)

Most bakeries are run by pegasi who obtain wheat, sugar, and whatever else from earth ponies and claim that they're selling for just barely over what they bought it for when, in actuality, they're selling for nearly twice what they paid. Whether the government did it for the bits or just to insult earth ponies - both of which are very plausible - was anypony's guess.

But, then again, this is Unicornia. Things that make sense here don't anywhere else.

With a shrug, Trixie stepped into the shop, instantly coming face-to-face with... a pink pony.

"Hi!"

Party Killer

Sex: Mare

Age: 19-24

Rank: Element of Harmony

[THIS INFORMATION IS CLASSIFIED. ANY UNAUTHORIZED PERSONAL THAT READ THIS SHALL FACE CHARGES OF THE HIGHEST CALIBER. CONTINUE AT YOUR OWN RISK.]

Party Killer is a light pink pony mare with a slightly darker, curly mane. Her Cutie Mark is that of three cyan and yellow balloons, her special talent being throwing parties.

She seems to have experienced some severe mental trauma, as evidenced by her violent outbursts and traces of a spell used on her mind.

When interviewed about this by a guard years prior, this is what she had to say:

G: So, [CONDEMNED], I know this is a touchy subject, but this is for your application. Okay?

P: ...I understand.

G: Have you ever suffered from any mental trauma, possibly as a foal?

P: ...Yes...

G: Can you tell me about it?

P: ...You did a background check on my family, right?

G: Yes.

P: That include my siblings?

G: Yes...

P: So you know about Maud, right?

G: Yes, I do. Wait, are you saying-

P: I have a question for you, Mr. Hothoof.

G: Um, yes?

P: You love your family, right? Your wife and your lovely little daughter?

G: ...Um, yes! Of course! Very much so!

P: How would you feel if your brother or even your best friend came into your house while you were sleeping and killed both of them, put their blood on your hooves, put a knife on your bedside table, and you woke up with a dozen guards barging into your room and beat you within an inch of your life and then threw you in jail, without any knowledge about what is going on? And when you finally are proved innocent, you go home and find nopony there? And then, you find out from some random passerby that they were buried last week? What. Would. You. Do?

G: ...

P: ...

G: [CONDEMNED], I... I don't know...

P: If that is all, I'll be leaving now.

For information on the incident, see document [MAUD], page 53.

Party appears to get enjoyment from dismembering and torturing criminals. When interviewed by Queen Celestia herself, this is what she had to say:

C: We have found several warehouses and abandoned building covered in blood and body parts. A quick DNA test proved that the blood belonged to criminals, some minor and some major. And your hoofprints were at each of these locations. Could you please explain.

P: Simple. It's revenge.

C: Revenge? On who?

P: God.

C: God?

P: Or whatever equivalent there is. I want to completely disseminate and destroy their work. Make a mockery of it, you know? The fact that they're also criminals is just a nice little extra.

C: Why would you want revenge on God?

P: I would think that you of all ponies would know, Queen.

C: ...

P: Why the pale face? Hmm?

C: Who told you?

P: Did you know I love to paint? Especially with the color red. And it's amazing what you can do by freaking out a pony, making him fake sleep, and then paint on the far wall that I know he's awake and also under his bed. Their reactions are priceless.

C: ...We'll continue this chat later...

To view the entire interview, view document [ELEMENTS INTERVIEW] Section: Pink. Page 029.

Party has only not visited the castle while in the Empire once on [**]-[**]-[***]. When asked by the Queen, this was her response:

C: You didn't show up yesterday.

P: I know.

C: Why not?

P: It was that day...

C: I know very well what day it is. But that is not an acceptable reason. What was more important than coming here?

P: Yesterday... she's in control for the entire day...

C: What are you talking about? Who?

P: ...Pink...

C: Party, who are you talking about?

P: Pink.

C: Party!

P: Pink.

C: Guards! Take her away!

[Two guards wearing standard gold armor began escorting Party out of the room.]

P: Her name is Pink.

C: What?

[Guards take Party out of the room, shutting the door behind them]

For more information about 'Pink', see [INTERVIEW WITH PINK] pages 1-192.

Hey Beatrix. Managed to scrape up a few interviews about this girl for ya. Figured it'd be a bit more useful than just some standard info. Send my regards to Archie and Gaia! <3 -LD

Author's Note

Just a heads up, Trixie is not OP. The reason for her magic being as strong as it is will be explained very soon.

Hope you all enjoyed it! Any criticism is greatly appreciated!

So who was that other Element that was... having fun with Scootaloo?(Poor Scoots) And why did I even include it in the story?

...

Mwuhahahaha!

(Again, any ideas for what you would like to see would be awesome! As long as it doesn't involve clop or grimdark levels of Gore in it, chances are it'll be a good idea. Sexual implications and mild gore use is fine. I can add the tags if I need to. And as long as a character I have plans for doesn't die :P)
