Trixike didn't know where she was flying, but something told her it was the right way to be going. The Dog seemed determined to be let go. But Trixike had a mission, the Dog was rude, the bite on her arm was still bleeding profusely. She thought back to her Spider friend when it had been combined with the Flower, it had been nice before she added the tree, she sighed, it must have been an evil tree. She looked around, she was gonna find a nice polite animal and fuse it with this rude dog, then she could take her new friend and with their help go back and save the Berry tree's from her two foes and the angry Red one, she licked her teeth, her face still hurt from the force of his kicks, she had to make sure her soon to be new friend was strong.

Trixike looked at the forest below and smiled when she saw the massive Rockpile in the distance. She landed in the forest and after some thought mimicked her foe and bubbled the dog. The Dog barked at her and she smiled she looked around the forest and cleared her throat

"Hillo!" She tried, she scratched her chin, not sure if she had said the word right when a shadow engulfed her. She looked at an odd looking beat. It looked like a giant cat with an odd tail. It looked down at her in silence, suddenly the name of the creature popped into her head "Mannycore!" She greeted, the Name sounded right so maybe it knew her. It sniffed her and roared. Trixike cleared her throat again and responded "Nyeh!" the Mannycore shrugged and opened its mouth, but before it could do anything Trixike engulfed it in her magic and levitated it in the air. "Silly Mannycore," she said jolly "you is Trixike's friend?" she Mannycore roared at her as it tried to get out of her magic "What Joy!" She said as she levitated the Dog and placed it over the Mannycore "You make dog polite!" she dropped the two animals as her eye's started glowing, and she struck the two creatures with the spell.

The Mannycore howled out and the Dog whimpered and whined as the two melted into a puddle. Trixike took a step back and watched as they formed. The Dog's skull formed, the front leg's on the Mannycore and the back being the dogs, the Mannycores tail and wings. Trixike stood back as the creature howled. It's bone's cracking and shifting, Trixike winced. The Flower and Spider hadn't done this. She watched as the creature's organs formed, the ear's of the Mannycore growing out of the dog's skull, eye's growing it their sockets, the crack of bone's and muscles tried to form around them. suddenly the creature stopped and Trixike watched it begin to fall apart, it's spike broke in half, it's half-formed limbs tearing down the middle with a sickening crunch, and finally, the creature popped, organs and blood covered the clearing, and splattered Trixike. Trixike had a brief flashback of her first memory, floating in a pool of what she now knew was blood. she frowned as she watched the creature re-forming, for some reason she felt bad as she watched it howl in pain, but why? after all, she was just helping it to recognize it's full potential? just like the flower. she covered her face when the creature detonated again and watched it rebuild itself. after all, it would be almost as good as she was when it was rebuilt. the spider had been sad and pathetic before she turned it into the mega flower. she shook her head and watched as her monster tried to form.

"Why do I feel bad?" She asked aloud, slowly but surely regaining Spike and Trixie's combined knowledge of Equestrian language "All I am doing is making it better." as Trixike tried to convince herself she was doing the right thing Applejack and Starlight reached the edge of the forest. Applejack froze when she heard the wailing of Trixie's new monster

"Buck," she said taking a deep breath "Buck, Buck, BUCK!" she kicked a nearby tree "Winona was the last thing my mother gave me before she passed away!" She yelled angrily "and now she's...she's..." Applejack sat on the ground and Starlight sat next to her, looking ahead to where the wails where emanating

"Even if Winona had been turned into a...into whatever Trixike fused her into...We can't give up. we failed to Save Trixie and Spike, and now we've failed to Save Winona."

"You are not helping," Applejack said looking over at her

"But we can save Trixike, and we can save whatever Winona has become." She held her hoof up and made Applejack look her in the eye's "and you better believe I'm not stopping until we Save them! and if Trixike makes more monsters? We'll save them too! We caused this, and We are going to fix it." She lowered her hoof. Applejack took a few breaths before getting to her hooves

"I don't care what they've become, and I don't care what Winona has become...their my friends, and she's my dog." Applejack looked ahead with determination " I'm with you Starlight, even if we end up joining Trixike and become monsters, we'll do it together" the two shook their heads and ran into the forest, not knowing what to expect.

Trixike watched as her new friend finally stopped screaming, it had the colorization of the Mannycore, it had the dog's head and Mannycore's ear's, its front half, front leg's. with the wings and tail of the Mannycore, and the back half and back leg's where the Dogs. it had two tuff's of the Mannycore's mane sticking out in the space between the eye's and the muzzle, and it had one eye from each of its components.her new friend looked around in confusion and sat down, whining. Trixike walked over to it and gave it the customary greeting.

"Nyeh!" She said "Welcome to your new life my friend," She said happily reaching up and petting it on the head with her uninjured arm. Her monster reacted immediately, it started panting as it's scorpion tail wagged back and forth, it gave an odd sounding Bark and licked her. "Ha!" She laughed as she shook the slobber off her face. "You're already politer than before!" She cheered as she looked at her monster "Guess I need to name you hu?" she thought for a second "Come to think of it...what's my name?"

"Trixike!" Starlight called. Trixike turned

"Is that my name?" She asked. Starlight blinked

"You talked!"

"Hey! I Remember you!" Trixike said, sounding less than Happy "Your the one with the happy trigger horn!" She looked over "and you're the one with the hat!" Applejack looked at what had once been her dog mixed with a Manticore

"Winona!?" She asked looking at the monster.

"Was that the dog's name?" Trixike asked "let's see...I'll call you Winocore," She said cheerfully as she got on her new friends back and patted its head, getting a happy yip back from Winocore. Trixike pointed at Starlight and Applejack "see those two Winocore?" she asked. Winocore looked at the two in confusion "Kill!" Trixike said happily. Winocore's hackles raised as it growled at the two

"Motherbuck" Starlight and Applejack said in unison

Author's Note

I'm having so much fun with this story.
And yes, I know the proper spelling is Manticore. but Mannycore sound's funny

and yes, all my fusion name will be stupid. I just like it like that
