Trixike looked around, she had no idea what to do next, but she had won. She laughed in triumph as she watched her foe's leave, being the clever creature she was she had led them to believe she was teleporting far away when instead she was back in the tower she had been in upon her first entry of the Castel.

"Thought they could catch me!" She asked, laughing madly "Thought they could contain me!" she began walking in a circle"I don't know why they wanted me dead, but once they failed they thought I'd just come back like all was forgiven!?" Trixike walked on like this, talking to herself about the indignity of it all, she had no idea what she was going to do, but she had nothing but time to plan, after all, they had no reason to think she was still in the Castel, now she could dedicate her time to think up some way to get back at the one in the Hat and the one with the Trigger happy horn, she laughed as she looked out the window, he laughter dying out as she looked at the tiny speck that was Ponyville "I should probably clean this" She muttered as the stinging of her leg began to turn into a burning sensation

"Dammit" Starlight muttered angrily as Winocore carried her and Applejack back to ponyville "We lost them...AGAIN!" she swore as she looked back at the Castel "She's Bucking run off again! She could be anywhere Spike or Trixie have ever been!"

"That's pretty much all of Equestria and some area's outside Equestria" Applejack responded, after a moment she added, "We should inform the Princesses and the leaders of the other races what's going on, we need to find Trixike before things get out of hoof." She patted Winocore "Any more than it already has" She added. Once they broke the cover of the forest a horn blew and they sound of door's slamming hit their ears, as they made their way to ponyville they noticed the absolute lack of any living thing

"Yall can come out!" Applejack called "only Monster out here had been tamed...more or less" slowly the residents of the town exited their homes and crowded the two.

"Winona!" Applebloom asked in a mixture of horror and amazement when she saw what her sister was sitting on

"Yeah...this is Winocore," Applejack said "Some Poor Manticore must have crossed Trixike and she tried to tame it with Winona" Applejack patted her pet " too bad she was about as polite and caring as Trixie was when I first met her" Applejack laughed for a second before hearing Starlight sigh, she turned and looked at her. Starlight was staring at the Castel far in the distance

"I miss her...I miss him...I miss them both" She sighed "Their my two favorite friends and I...I...If I'd just left them to their arguing they'd have seen the Lanool and I could have magically cleaned them...such a small thing...such a small feat..."Starlight sniffed as Applejack patted her on the back as she slowly broke down "If I hadn't sent them off..."

"Then I would have" Applejack interrupted "All we knew is that those two goofballs had made a mess and you where just sending them to get clean" AJ sighed "I can't say my life feels empty without them...heck I hardly ever talked to Trixie...but Spike and I have known each other for some time, I remember the time he tried to become my assistant, he messed up every step of the way trying to make me happy, something he could usually do flawlessly turned into a huge disaster because of the pressure he put on himself." the two sat down and looked at the speck of a castle reminiscing as Big Mac and Granny Smith greeted their new pet.

"YE-HAW!" They heard Granny Smith yell as she got on Winocore's back "Finally a reliable way to get around! Mush!" AJ and Starlight watch as Winocore took Granny on a reasonably paced walk with Big Mac helping Applebloom on it's back. Applejack took a deep breath

"Come on Starlight, we can't be breaking down now!" she said pulling herself together "If we really want to make a difference! We need to find them and fix this, even if we can't...can't get Spike and Trixie back, We can Make dam sure Well Trixike is not left to turn to the dark side!" Starlight whipped her face and got up.

"Yeah...Yeah! Even if She does turn evil! I won't fail, I won't let her run and fester on her own hatred! I Will bring her back to the side of good. No matter what!" as the two made their way to the Castel Trixike walked back to the courtyard. Her Flower monster was still laying on the ground. She lit her horn and forced the thing to stand back up as she forced it back in the ground where she had first found it. After making sure it would not be getting out without her help she walked inside the Castel and walked a path she felt like she had been down before, in no time at all she found herself in a massive Libary. She picked a book at random and looked at the page

"What the hell is this?" She asked looking at the words on the page, after staring for a while she conceded "seem's I can't read" she muttered as she tried a second book with the same results, she threw the book across the room "No Matter, I do not need these books...yet. I have already proven myself beyond skilled, It is clear that my ability to mimic any spell and skill I see is what has those two coming after me!" she took a step and pain shot through her leg as she fell to the floor "now..." She muttered holding her leg off the ground "I just need to figure out how to deal with this." Trixike looked around at the massive Libary "Nothing here will help me now." She took flight and flew out the castle window. Having regain most mental ability's it was with ease that she returned to the stream she had first teleported to, she smiled as she put her leg in the water, it stung, but it was a sting that brought some relief with it as most of the crusty blood and dirt was sweet of with the moving stream, taking her hand out she tried standing on it only for pain to return

"No good" She muttered, "seem's cleaning is not good enough..." She looked over at the small town in the distance, and smiled, she lit her horn and in a flash, she was back at the birthplace of her first memory. "Disgusting" She whispered and she looked at the blood crusted bath and floor, the bath had been drained but beyond that they had left the room as it was when she was first there, she looked around at the broken glass and looked at her reflection "ah yes...it was my own self that scared me" she nodded as she swept the glass off the floor, and opened the door, looking around she saw nopony, sniffing the air she determined no one was home, and using her ears she concurred that no one was nearby. She walked into the hall and trusted her feet to take her to where she needs to be. She walked up a flight of stairs and felt an odd Desire to walk into a side room, as soon as she entered an odd feeling feel over her, inside the room was a dresser full of board games, and on a table in the room's center was a chessboard, pieces lay on the floor, a chair rest lay toppled on its side, with another one still sitting upright, as she looked at the odd scene in front of her she noticed something on top of the board, it was a picture face down. She picked it up and saw a picture of the back of a blue unicorn turning the chessboard around. Across the room stood a mirror, reviling the camera pony to be a Purple and Green Camera Dragon. As she looked at the Pony and Dragon she felt an odd pain in her heart, like they where a pair of old friends who she had lost contact with. She looked around the room once more when something caught her eye. She walked over to the corner of the room and looked up at a hat and Cape resting on a coat rack, she levitated them down to her and looked at them

"What is this place?" She asked as she took a small bag and put the three items in them for later inspection, without thinking about it she levitated the Chess pieces and placed them and the board in her bag before leaving the odd room. She walked through the empty halls, occasionally opening and looking threw rooms when she found a room that looked right, upon walking in she found it to be a room with a large bed, tho this one had book's instead of games, she flipped through the book rack not thinking when one of the books's stood out to her, she pulled it out and looked at the cover, it was purple with a horseshoe on it, in the middle was a Twinkling purple star. 5 gems of different color were inside the horseshoe. She opened it and once again found she still couldn't read. She growled angrily, but still carefully added the book to her bag. She looked around the room and felt she had come here for reasons that were not of her knowing. She lit her horn, letting her magic guide her and found herself standing outside a small purple cart. She walked inside it and Light a small lantern, There was a dresser with a vanity mirror and a set of mane brushes, a bed, a small red chair, and a shelf full of knick-knacks, a book or two, and a box. Trixike looked around the small space before laying on its small bed, only one thing came to her mind

"This place feels...homey" she decided as she lay her bag of poached goods and encashed the cart in her magic, with all her might she teleported herself and the cart to her tall tower. Once she made sure it had worked she sat down in the cart's chair. As she looked around the cart something on the shelf caught her eye, a small box that had writting along its side. she walked over to it and levitated it down onto the small Dresser. inside she found several bits of cloth and a sewing kit, she levitated the items out and looked at them, then to her damaged arm and grimaced

"I've just remembered what to do in this situation," She said unhappily as she set her arm on the counter and took the needle and string out "And I'm not going to enjoy it" she took a deep breath and levitated one of the brushed over to her to bite on. She threaded the needled and tried to think of a second to stall, "Just do it" she thought "do it" she looked at the cut, wishing she could do anything else "NOW!" She screamed mentally and with that, she forced the needle into her skin.

Instantly pain flailed as she cracked the counter, slowly pushing the needle through the flesh she briefly saw the needle in her gash before forcing it through to the other side, the brush in her mouth cracking as she bit through the pain, tears formed in her eyes and she pulled the needle through and turned it to go through again, she wanted so bad to do it as fast as she could, but she knew if she did that then she'd buck it up and have to start over again. She whipped her eyes and spat out the brush replacing it with a new one before stabbing the needle through her skin again, and again, and again,
After what could have been minutes or hours she looked at the sutured wound and tied several bits of cloth around her arm. She looked up at the Vanity mirror in front of her, she wiped tears out of her eye's one more time before dragging herself to the small bed she lay down on it delicately and rested her bloody limb on one of the pillows. She lay her head down and extinguished the lantern.

"Trixike will have her revenge" she muttered sleepily "maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, But one day! One day Hat pony and Trigger Horn pony...Trixike will beat you, Trixike will insult you, And Trixike will Kill you." with thoughts of killing her foes swimming in her head Trixike drifted off to sleep as the moon rose.
