The Monster's of Ponyville Stream
The 4 stood beside the Map in the throne room
"Alright Rainbow, you go find Twilight, Rarity, and Pinkie, tell them what's happened and meet me and AJ Back here as soon as you can"
"How are we suppose to contact you? Twilight usually used Spike for that, and He's a little..."
"Twilight can Teleport, She just tends to forget that in times of Stress."
"What about me?" Fluttershy asked. AJ took a breath and turned to her
"We need you to get Discord, Trixie and Spike might not be known to cause trouble. But Spike turned into a Mega Dragon when he got Greedy, and Trixie isn't exactly a saint. We need to find them before they're set off."
"But I already set Discord his weekly letter, we have a system" Fluttershy muttered
"Fluttershy." Rainbow sighed "Just send him a Red written letter"
"Red writing or Red Letter?"
"Both" Rainbow shot back "It'll show the urgency of the Situation!" Fluttershy left, muttering about spoiling Discord's poker night as she left. Rainbow turned back to AJ and Starlight "And I still blame both of you for this" She added before taking off.
"Thank Celestia it's Saturday" AJ muttered, "can you imagine having to call School off for this?" She asked as Starlight looked at the map
"We might have to" Starlight replied as she looked at the map "Ok, so it became cognitive and ran away within the span of about 2 minutes or so, Starlight tapped the map "But where could it have gone? there's a 50/50 chance of it having Trixie and Spike's memories, and of having none at all"
"Judging by the sound's I heard I think the Mirror and the Door scared it," Aj said looking at the map
"And if it got scared by a door" Starlight muttered "Then it might not have high Intelligence at the moment"
"at the moment?" AJ asked
"Given enough time Trixie and Spike's basic instincts might kick in, and I imagine it'll have a mix of their personalities
"A very Helpfull Kirin who also Boast in the Third Person" AJ muttered "Weird" Starlight looked at her
"It looked like a Kirin before it popped the first time, how do you...?"
"I looked in on it a few times" Aj replied, "I think the problems might have been internal, Organ failer, blood vessel closing, bone's breaking through the skin..." Aj gagged "I saw the last one, but it always looked the same" Starlight looked at her
"Why didn't you tell me!" Starlight demanded
"Well, I just..."
"If you know what it looked like, it'll make sending out a search and recovery teams easier!" Starlight teleported a pen and pencil to her "I might not be the best But I can do ok" She held the items up "now Describe it to me" Aj cleared her throat
"It had Trixie's head, it's Mane was soaking wet but I imagine it would look like Trixie's when dried, it had two fangs protruding from its mouth, facing downward. It had two horns, and from what I saw it had one of Spike's eye's and one of Trixies, It had a ponies body shape, but from what I saw of the tail, it also has some scales. It didn't have any fur on their hooves, and it may or may not have Fingers" Starlight looked up at her "That changed back and forth" AJ said with a shrug "I didn't see it's lower body but I guess it would probably also have no fur around its hooves or claws. It had Spikes Wings." AJ though for a moment "from what I saw of it's back it had small spines on them, similar to what Spike had on the top of his tale." Aj nodded "and that's all I got" Aj stood in silence as Starlight Drew she turned the paper and reviled an ok drawing of what Aj had described. "That looks about right," she said with a nod.
"Alright let's go to town and spread the word." She thought for a second "maybe not all the words tho" she said as the two headed to spread the word.
Meanwhile
The Creature was splashing about in the water, having been cleaned on the blood that had soaked it awhile ago. it jumped up and around in the water. It may have stayed there all day if the Timberwolves hadn't shown up. It was splashing away when they came. it turned and looked at them as about 6 of them began prowling towards It, the creature blinked and something told it that it should run, it's afraid of these things, their scary. The Creature turned tail and booked it, leaving the water and heading for the mass of tree's the Timberwolves giving chase, it ran, the wolves directly behind it. it could hear their howls, hear their feet running against the ground, smell their disgusting smell's. it ran, It was fast, but they were as fast, if not faster than it. they would catch it, they would kill it, and it would not enjoy it. It looked for a way out when the ground in front of it gave way to a deep drop, the creature not noticing until it had already jumped off closed its eyes. waiting for the feeling of hitting the ground, but instead felt the fall slowing. it opened its eyes and looked around. as soon as it had jumped its wings had straightened out, it was gliding down to the ground.
the creature gave a test flap and felt itself raise slightly, after a few attempts it managed to take control of its flight and flew over the howling and growling Timberwolves. It smiled, it had gotten away. after thinking about it, it decided it didn't like the way that sounds and looked at them, why should it run, it had the advantage of hight. it took a deep breath and tried mimicking its roar.
"Nyeh!" was all that came out. it blinked and tried again "Nyeh!" was once again the only sound it made. it took a deep breath focused and tried again, this time spitting a ball of fire at the wolves. this did the trick as they ran out of the way. a smile formed on its face and it fired again, as the wolves began fleeing its smile grew larger and it flew after them, blasting a ball of fire in front of them forcing them to a stop, and with another breath it set the woods around them on fire, as the wolves tried to get away the creature cut off every exit they had with fire occasionally adding a "Nyeh" to scare them with its power, finally it landed once the wolves had been forced to accept there was only one direction for them to go, it listened to them growling at it as they backed up to the cliff, it took a deep breath and released a long-lasting current of flames, forcing the wolves to jump or burn. I didn't stop until it had to breath, which was a fair amount of time. it walked over to the edge and looked at the pile or burning stick and twigs. it smiled with Victory, and after kicking a few rocks and dirt of the side as a final insult it chose the direction it thought it had come from and took flight in search of the water it had been playing in before the wolves had attacked it, not knowing that as it was flying away the Timberwolves where reforming and making their way back up the cliff, not knowing that is was heading in the incorrect direction of the water, the only thing it knew was that it had left the victor.
The Monster and it's Flower
As It flew through the air it looked around, it felt like it had been flying for longer than it had been running from the wolves, and it got the feeling that it might need to land somewhere to get a lay of the land. It began circling around and looking in all directions for a high place to stand and look upon, suddenly it found it, there in the distance was a fairly sized pile of rocks, it turned and made it's way to it, it landed on one of the towering piles and look around, many piles of the square rocks had been piled together, why there was even a hole to go inside the structure, It crawled it's way in and looked around, a multitude of webs hung above it, while thick layers of dust carpeted the floors, as soon as it had landed a small cloud of dust hit it's nose, giving way to a wave of flaming sneezed, with cleared some of the webs away. It looked around and released its war cry
"Nyeh!" it called out, laying down its left ear and rising the right one as high as it could, it stood in silence listening for a response, after a moment with nothing calling back it tried again "Nyeh!" it called louder, once again nothing, but that couldn't be, something had to live here, it thought as it moved threw threw the structure. It looked through another hole in the rock structures, Maybe it had left? Maybe it was sleeping? Or maybe nothing had claimed this spot for itself yet? As it looked around it felt it could understand, it rubbed it's chest as it thought, clearly nothing was as amazing as it was, after all, it could fly, and breath fire, and it had even made a monster wall disappear and found the Water it had been hoarding. It smiled. Clearly, it was greater and way more powerful than any other thing in existence, it brushed itself off before continuing down the oddly angled path leading down.
It ran its wing across the rock wall and shock off the following dust. There was also a possibility that nothing was here because it was full of sneeze powder. It thought as it once again fell into a fit of dusty sneezes. It shook it's head and flew out a hole, it looked around the massive rock structure and saw something that stood out, it landed inside the rocky walls that had been left open to the elements and looked at a beautiful flower.
"Nyeh!" Is said in greeting to the flower. It looked at it in silence, waiting for a response. After a full minute with no response, it tried again "Nyeh!" is said. Once again the rude little thing ignored it. "NYEH!" It tried once for, still being ignored the creature huffed, how dare it, did it not know how important it was, it had beaten a pack of wolves! It could fly! It's only weakness was sneeze powder, tho it suspected everything might have that weakness. It looked around and spotted one of the star spiders, the creature ran over and pick the spider up, it giggled as it tried to bite her, the spider's instead hurting itself on the creature hard skin, the creature, mistaking it for a sign of affection bit the spider back, crushing it in its teeth. It reflectively spits out the spider on the flower, the Spider's legs twitched as it struggled to stay alive. The Creature confused watch the dying creature feebly stretch its leg's out.
Suddenly the creature realized what the Spider wanted, clearly, the thing was jealous of the pretty flower, and why not? it was hideous, but so nice and polite, accepting the creature as a friend right away. while the Flower had ignored it. without realizing it the eyes of the creature began glowing blue and a small ball of energy gathered between its horn, the creature jumped when it shot a laser at the spider and flower and watched in awe as the two things melted and began forming. the creature didn't understand what was happening but watched as the flower came back without the spider, suddenly the flower swung around and looked at her, 8 blinking eyes looking at her with curiosity, the flower's roots broke from the ground and it crawled over to her, it blinked at her then it's mouth opened in four segments, row's of thin spikey teeth all curved back, four mandibles could be seen around the side's of the mouth and the creature smiled. she had granted the spiders wish, and made the Flower much more polite all at the same time. but something was wrong, the flower was amazing, but it was so small, there was no way it could become as amazing as the creature, something had to be done. The Creature cradled the Flower and flew into the air looking for a good tree. after a minute the creature found it's target and place the Flower on it. then flew back and the Flower looked at it. the creature took a deep breath and with some concentration shot another laser at the tree, it watched as it formed into something before exploding, before it could contemplate this it began forming again, after what felt like day's to the creature it finally stopped exploding, The Flower's new form was rather different, a lush collar od leaves below its petals, it's body hard and thick, while still retaining its original flowery look, it's head was huge, just one of its eight eye's bigger than the Creature that had made it. the flower leaned down and looked at its creator
"Nyeh!" the Creature greeted. the Flower opened its segmented jaws and let loose a loud caterwaul, the sound echoed far across the forest. and into Ponyville. catching the attention of two ponies imparticular.
"What the hell was that?" Applejack asked turning to the forest "I ain't never heard that sound before"
"We need to go" Starlight interjected "That might be the sound of our new friend!" as the two high tailed it to the wood's AJ brought something up that had been bothering her
"So, bad time for this, but what do we call it now?" She asked
"What?" Starlight asked, only half hearing her
"What do we call the Creature? I don't know about you but calling it the creature and It is getting old real fast." Starlight rolled her eye's
"I don't care, you can name it if you want" she called back, Applejack looked at her in silence than back ahead when the sound went off again. the Duo turned a corner and froze in front of a Giant Flower, the monster's eight eyes looked at them an turned, it's large segmented mouth was open, wrapped in its tongue was they're less than happy creature
"Nyeh!" it said angrily, disappointed in the Spider for giving in to the Rude Flower.
"Hey!" Applejack yelled, "Drop Trixike this moment!" Straight had been about to yell but stopped and looked at Aj
"Trixike?" she asked, "The hell kinda name is that?" AJ shrugged
"Trixie, Spike, Just combined them at the I and boom! Trixike"
"Applejack that is so bucking stupid."
"You gave me the power, and I've buckled under the pressure," AJ said with a shrug "But back to the matter at hoof." She turned back to the monster flower "Drop her!"
"How do you know it's a her?" Starlight interjected
"She looks like Trixie..."
"It's half Spike! we don't know what's going on down..." the Flower decided it had better things to do than listen to this and attacked. AJ slammed into Starlight to avoid the attack.
"Fight now, Talk later," Aj said as the two got up and faced the Flower, the Flower gave another caterwaul and straightened out its body, holding Trixike straight up before snapping shut "Hey!" AJ screamed bucking the Flower
"Open you dam mouth!" Starlight demanded as she lit her horn and attempted to do just that. The Flower proved to be rather resilient. its eye's looked down on them. suddenly smoke erupted from its mouth and the creature's mouth opened, a wail of pain emanating from it as Trixike took flight, blasting the Flower with Fire. after a moment it stopped and watched the flaming thing run away, Trixike gave a snort and was about to take off when it was surrounded in blue magic.
"Nyeh?" it asked and Applejack sighed
"That voice doesn't help with the Gender confusion" She muttered as Trixike looked down at her. "Can you hear me Trixike?" Aj asked as Starlight placed it on the ground
"Better yet, can you repeat me?" Starlight asked. Trixike squinted at her
"Repeat me?" She asked in confusion, the words being nothing but noise to her.
"Can you understand me?" Starlight asked hopefully
"Understand me?" Trixike asked, still confused
"Dammit" Aj sighed
"Dammit!" Trixike replied.
"Listen Trixike, we need you to stay very still, this spell takes a moment to take effect alright?" She asked as she let Trixike go.
"Alright?" Trixike asked.
"Ok, this should split you back into Spike and Trixie. Got it Trixike?"
"Trixike?" was all she got for an answer
"Ok" Starlight began the spell and prepared to fire it, whether it was her body language or the light from the horn or just the atmosphere of the situation, Trixike figured something out, It was about to be hit in the face by something. Instantly Trixike Hissed, and blasted a fireball at Starlight, AJ shoved her out of the way just in time.
"YEOW!" AJ yelled as it hit her back leg, sending her spiraling back and setting it ablaze. Starlight bubbled Trixike and extinguished the fire
"Dammit, all!" Starlight said angrily "Were not trying to hurt you!" She said turning to Trixike, who was slashing at the bubble.
"OUT!" Trixike Demanded. Starlight sighed
"Just listening to use for a few minutes has rebooted her mind a little, she's remembering the basic's of language, and she must have the ability to mimic the spell that made her"
"I thought you weren't gonna assume it's Gender" AJ called from behind her
"Nopony cares!" Starlight responded, "She's look's like a she, so until proven otherwise, She's a She!" Trixike looked at them arguing and thought of a way out. She'd beaten the Flower, She's beaten the wolves, and she'd turned an angry wall to water. she blinked and looked at them, if she could turn a wall to water, she could turn these bullies to something too. She closed her eye's and focused.
"Wait what's she doing?" AJ asked as Trixike lit her horns.
"That's a..." There was a blinding flash and she was gone "...Teleportation spell..." Starlight and Aj looked at the empty bubble
"Well Buck"
Meanwhile
Trixike opened her eye's and found herself in a field of Apple Tree's she cheered
"HA! I is turning you to Tree!" She cheered giving the one she thought was Starlight a hard tap "HA!"
Author's Note
ok, so while it only just been named Trixike...I think the stories name gave it away. but yeah, if you haven't figured it out yet, Trixike has no idea what's happening most of the time and just improvises a story for itself, the
it had even made a monster wall disappear and found the Water it had been hoardin
line is referring to when it teleported away from Rainbow opening the bathroom door.
"Where'd she go!?" Applejack asked while Starlight looked at her leg
"Celestia only knows" Starlight sighed as she performed a spell to help deal with the burn. "you should be fine to walk, tho you might want to wear those boots you wear when you off delivering to Cajun swamp ponies."
"Noted" Aj responded as Starlight wrapped the burn in a magic bandage
"The bandage will disappear in about an hour," she said, "so we should probably head to Sweet Apple acres and stock up on anything we might need." Aj got up, her legs still sore, and looked back
"What about Flowerzilla back there?"
"Celestia only knows what that thing was originally, but we can only hope it managed to find some water, far far away from here."
"Yeah, the thing probably has no idea what's going on, but it was probably just, in some way or another, trying to eat Trixike." Starlight sighed
"well, Trixike is to us, what that Flower is to her." Starlight looked back at Aj "So I guess in some way or another she was just in not trusting us." Starlight shook her head, Aj not responding to her words as the two made their way to Sweetapple acres. The walk was uneventful, the two walked down the dirt road to the farm when AJ finally spoke up
"Weird" She muttered
"What is?" Starlight asked looking around, "Nothing's here"
"Exactly," AJ said stopping and looking around "It's the Middle of the Day on a Wednesday."
"And...?" Starlight asked
"And there should be sound's of apple bucking, Aj looked around the tree's "the sound of Winona barking" she began steadily picking up the pace to her home "the sound's of Applebloom and her friends getting into some mischief." Aj and Starlight looked around, Buckets lay half empty, a cart was knocked over, buckets worth of Apples laying on the ground. a smashed bucket lay on the ground with apple cores scattered on the ground.
"Why does this place suddenly look like that movie where all the ponies disappeared without warning?" Starlight asked as the two made their way to the house. they had just gotten to the door when the heard a crunching sound and turned to the barn in time to see an Applecore fly out of the barn door and land in the pile of prementioned cores. the two turned to check it out when suddenly the door flung open and they where grabbed and dragged in by Big Mac, Applebloom closing the door behind her. the two blinked and looked around Granny Smith was sitting in her chair holding a shovel and wearing an army helmet. Applebloom was locking the door, Big Mac looked down at them while Winona ran over the Aj, she didn't bark in joy because she was muzzled.
"What the buck is happening!?" Applejack demanded
"Their's a monster outside!" Applebloom said "It flew in and attacked us, Bigmac tried to scare it off but then it started breathing fire and Big mac dragged me and Winona inside" she pointed to Winona "We had to muzzle her cause she wouldn't stop barking at the door and we were afraid it'd burn the house or orchard down."
"Eeyup" Big Mac nodded. Starlight looked out the door
"was this monster blue, looked like a pony with horns, had a dragon tail?" Big Mac looked at her
"Eeyup." He nodded after thinking for a second
"Was the fire green?"
"How'd you know that?" Applebloom asked as Starlight and Applejack looked out the door
"She didn't teleport far." was Starlight's response as she turned to the Door. "AJ grab your gear."
"Darn right!" Applejack called "She's not Bringing my farm to life!"
"What?" Big Mac asked
"It's gonna bring our farm to life?" Applebloom asked in confusion
"one of you stop and explain" Granny Smith demanded
"I got it, AJ go get your gear," Starlight said as she called the three other apples over "Alright so..."
10 minutes later
The Three Apples stood in shocked silence
"So there just lost?" Applebloom asked as she looked out the window at Trixike, who had moved out of the barn to drag more of the Apples on the ground inside so it could continue eating.
"Eeyup" Big mac nodded as they watched her pull the bucket with her teeth instead of levitating it or using her hands to drag it.
"Hm..." Granny Smith contemplated "Maybe it just needs a little loving to calm it down, I get the feeling it hasn't had a moment of peace since it was brought into this world." she mussed on how to accomplish just that when AJ walked in the room, she had her Fireproof boot's on and her saddlebags where stocked full of emergency items.
"Alright," Aj said calling them all to the center of the room "you three stay in here, me and Starlight are going to try and tie her down and spit her back into Trixie and Spike." She looked around at them all "And I don't want any of yall following after us" She added, "this is my and Starlight's fault."
"But..." Applebloom started
"No buts!" AJ replied "Stay here" she repeated as she and Starlight walked out into the yard. once the door was closed she looked back at the house.
"one or all of them are gonna follow us," Starlight said without hesitation
"I'm aware of that" Applejack responded "But I can hope they won't" Starlight lit her horn and silently levitated AJ and herself to a window on the top floor and the two snuck inside.
While the day hadn't started out too good, what with the wolves and her Spider friend giving in to the flower, Trixike was finally having a nice relaxing time. after turning her foe's into tree's and leaving them to their new lives she had found that the other tree's where happy with her work and had offered up a multitude of red berries for her. which she gladly excepted. sure that was an odd moment when some ponies had tried to steal them with their dog, but once quick-fire blast and she had scared them off. She didn't know where they had gone off to, but thanks to their work she was able to sit back and enjoy her reward for giving the tree's two new friends. she reached for another red berry when it started glowing and running away.
"Hey, No run!" She demanded as she chased after it, it stopped just outside the door. she reached down the grabbed it when she sensed Danger, she leaped out of the barn as a blast of light hit where she had been standing
"Dammit!" she heard a familiar voice
"Dammit?" She asked turning to see her foes had undone their tree curse.
"Why you no Tree!" She demanded, the two looked at each other in confusion
"What?" Starlight asked. Trixike squinted at them, as she pieced it together, the other ponies and the dog must have freed them while she was enjoying her reward. she growled and lit her horn, her eye's glowing as she blasted a spell at them, Starlight teleported away with AJ and Trixike blinked in confusion as her spell hit her berries and liquefied them, she stood back and watched as they reformed as a Mega Berry.
"Yum," She said as she walked towards is, but before she could claim her prize she felt the presence of magic and took flight, the spell hit her berry and turned it to a pile of sneeze powder.
"Holly Buck!" Starlight said as the Apple turned to dust "That's not what the spells suppose to do!"
"So new plan?" Applejack asked
"Knock her out," Starlight said looking up as Trixike landed and looked at the mess "Before she makes any more monsters!" Trixike turned to them and growled, she lit her horn when a loud bark distracted her, she turned in time to see the Dog had returned, she raised her arm to try and block it, only for the dog to sink its teeth into its arm. instantly Trixike forgot about her pony foes and took a deep breath to fry the dog.
"Oh no, you don't!" A voice yelled. Trixike turned just get hit in the face with a shovel, she flew backward into a nearby tree, taking the dog with her. she got up and looked down at the winded dog who had released her when they hit the tree. without hesitation, she grabbed the dog by the middle and took flight. the dog squirming as it tried to get out of her grasp, another spell flew past her, but Trixike ignored the ponies and flew off with her prize.
"Winona!" Applejack yelled as Trixie took off at top speed with her dog. instantly she turned to her brother "I told you to stay inside!" She yelled as he Brother watched in shock as their dog was taken away "Trixike's gonna mutate her into some kind of Dog monster!" Big mac had nothing to say to that as he just sat down and watched helplessly as Trixike flew out of sight
"No" Starlight moaned when she realized where Trixike was heading "Not Everfree again! We keep finding and losing her! how do we track her now!" Applejack walked over to where Trixike had landed and discovered something interesting
"it's small" she muttered "but this is a pool of blood alright" she looked down "Winona must have really dug into her arm" Applejack looked up at the tree's Trixike had flown over and after looking, found the blood splatter trail Trixike had left behind. "Gotcha!" She said in a louder tone "Starlight! we got a blood trail!" Starlight ran over and after a quick look smiled
"and just like that Winona has done our job better than we have!" Applejack turned to Bigmac
"Get Applebloom and Granny to town"
"But what about..." Big Mac started
"Our Problem, But until further notice, the farm's not safe, and neither is the town!" She pointed at Big Mac "Spread the word! Tell every pony what's happening! Gather a team and Evacuate Fluttershy's house!"
"Fluttershy's...?"
"If Trixike finds that place she'll have a mega mutant animal army is no time! NOW GO!" Applejack yelled watching as her brother ran inside to tell Granny and Applebloom what had happened. She turned back to Starlight "Let's go save my Dog and our friends."
Author's Note
Trixike has no idea how the world works.
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, all my fusion name will be stupid. I just like it like that
Starlight and Applejack did the only sane thing, they ran as fast as they could from the Winocore and Trixike.
"Hey!" Trixike called "Come back here!" She yelled as the Winocore began its pursuit.
"We probably shouldn't have announced our arrival," Applejack said as they ran
"Noted!" Starlight responded they didn't get far before Applejack realized where they were going
"Why the buck are we heading to Ponyville!?" She realized Starlight thought about it for a second
"Cause were idiots" she decided as they took a sharp turn and ran past Winocore and Trixike
"Hey!" Trixike yelled grabbing Winocore's ears to make it turn, all this accomplished was causing Winocore to fall on its side "Buck!" Trixike yelled holding up the now dirt filled cut while trying to get out from under Winocore "AH, oh that hurts!" Winocore got back on its feet and Trixike got back on it's back. "Get moving!" Trixike demanded and the chase continued, Starlight and Applejack leading them deeper into the forest.
"So...how do we deal with this?" Applejack asked
"No Idea!" Starlight responded "I figure we have untiled it realizes it can fly to come up with a plan"
"Don't talk so loud" Applejack responded, "I think Trixike is getting to a reasonable level of intelligence"
"You cannot escape" They heard her call "My Winocore will hunt you to the ends of the Forest!"
"So what happened if we leave the forest?" Starlight called back
"Then...um...you'll still be hunted!" Trixike called back
"Then why did you specify the Forest!?" Starlight called back
"Buck you, I don't know what this land is called, I don't even know the forests name!" She called back when Winocore ran into a tree and knocked it down
"Equestria and The Everfree Forest!" Applejack said as she and Starlight jumped out of the way to avoid the falling tree
"I Appreciate the information!" Trixike called back "And to be fair, you tried to kill me first!"
"That is not what we were trying to do!" Starlight yelled as she and Applejack took another hard turn to slow their pursuers down
"I saw what that Spell did to the Red Berry!" Trixike yelled back as she and the Winocore ran straight on in the wrong direction "What is with you and turning!?" Trixike yelled, "It's not that difficult!" Starlight and Applejack ran on as Trixike tried to get Winocore to stop
"We should hide" Starlight suggested
"That thing has Winona's nose, a pair of wings, a scorpion tail, and is stronger enough to run into a tree and knock it down without slowing, there is no hiding!" as the duo continued running a full speed Trixike sighed as Winocore finally came to a halt and began sniffing for its prey
"I can't Belive this" Trixike complained as Winocore walked in a small circular motion trying to pick up a scent "I The Great, amazing, Unbelievably talented...um..." She thought for a second then snapped "Trixike, yes that's what they called me!" she shook her head "Anyway, I can't believe that I am stuck with...with this as my only friend!" She looked down at Winocore, who yipped happily as it found the sent and began carving a path through the trees. Trixike lay on Winocore's back and sighed "You can fly you dolt" She muttered as her beast ran through the tree's. after a few minutes of Searching Winocore ended up in front of the Giant Rockpile. Applejack and Starlight standing in the clearing surrounded by walls "HEY!" Trixike snapped "I CALLED DIBS ON THIS ROCK PILE!"
"This is the Castel of the Two Sisters!"
"Well, Trixike called dibs!" Trixike Called back angrily! Trixike got off Winocore's back and gave it a pat. "Sick em!" She said and Winocore gave a distorted bark before running at the duo. Trixike was planning on watching the show but was distracted when a large Shadow engulfed her she turned and looked up at Her Giant Flower Monster "Oh...Hillo Friend" She said when it opened it's segmented jaws and roared. Applejack and Starlight ran in two different directions as Winocore ran at them, Winocore continued running straight and bust into the castle walls. Applejack skid to a halt and shook her head
"Now that was just sad," she said as the Winocore walked backward out of its hole. it turned to face them, and the two watched as it looked over them and started growling.
"What is it...Holly Celestia!" Starlight yelled when she turned and only just avoided a vine. The Flower Monster was attempting to eat Trixike and was attacking it using its viny legs like tree sized clubs.
"Hey, Buck off!" Trixike demanded as it attacked her "What'd I ever do to you!?" as Trixike moved out of the way she shot a fireball at the plant. Before it hit there was a gurgling sound and the Flower shot out a torrent of water and washed the flame out. Trixike looked at it in silence "Showoff" she muttered as she dogged one of the vines only to be smacked into a wall by another "WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR STUPID!" She yelled from inside the hole "KILL IT!" Winocore growled and jumped at the Flower, without even turning the Plant whacked Winocore into the air and continued moving towards Trixike. Starlight light her horn and blasted the plant. Applejack watched as Winocore landed face first on the ground and ran over to it. Winocore got up and shook its head. It looked at Applejack and growled. Applejack held up a hoof and slowly approached Winocore
"Whoa there Winocore," she said. Winocore glared at her as she touched its belly, Applejack then began scratching. instantly the Winocore was on it's back, barking with joy as Applejack gave it a belly rub. Starlight meanwhile was now part of a three-way fight. The Flower seemed only interested in Trixike, Starlight was trying to stop the Flower from eating Trixike, Trixike was attempting to kill anything and everything. The Flower tongue lashed out at Trixike, who was in her own protective bubble.
"Head's up!" Applejack yelled as she came in riding the Winocore, Starlight put them in a bubble and watched as the vines failed to touch them and with a mighty crack Winocore had the flower in its teeth. the Flower struggled as Winocore violently shook it. after a few seconds, the Flower lay unmoving in its teeth.
"The Buck are you doing!?" Trixike demanded "one of them is one you! Kill the Hat one!" Winocore looked back at Applejack, then back at Trixike and growled "Traitorous motherbucker" Trixike muttered as Starlight patted Winocore on the head
"Ok" Starlight said turning to Trixike "Let's have a reasonable talk here." Trixike laughed
"You...you wanna talk know?" Trixike asked "What's the matter? Realizing trying to kill me is a waste of time?"
"We weren't..." Applejack started
"Don't lie to me?" Trixike said, turning on her "I saw what that spell did to my Giant Red Berry."
"It was an Apple actually"
"I DON'T CARE!" Trixike snapped "You are the ones who put me in a bubble and tried to kill me! you and your friends came after me!" Trixike held up her arm with the bite mark on it, it was dirty and still bleeding "You distracted me while the dog and it's friend beat me to the ground!" She leaned over "Don't come to me trying to act like your only goal isn't too off me!" She squinted at them "I know who you are, My memories are hazy, my thoughts are clouded! But I'm not Crazy!" Trixike's horns began glowing "Listen well! I may not know your names! But I'll remember your faces! and You may have won this time..."
"WAIT!" Applejack and Starlight yelled as the realized what was about to happen
"...BUT I'LL BE BACK!!!" Trixike yelled as in a bright Flash she disappeared.
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,
"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.
Author's Note
this took 5 hours! And I loved every second, Sweet Dream my readers, I hope they are full of merrymaking and Sweet Revenge.
Trixike was covered in flower spit and dirty, the makeshift bandage on her arm was disgusting, and she didn't want to think about the cut underneath, much less check on it. She was digging a moat around her castle, using a mixture of her claws and her magic, She popped back in and looked in on her flower,
"You need anything?" She asked it responded with an extremely pissed yowl. "You can have water when the moat is done, it there anything you need now?" Once again it yowled at her. "Fine be a whiny little bitch about it" She called as she continued digging "If you would stop trying to eat me I'd let you help!" She added, "Been done hours ago!" She looked out of the hole to see how much left she had to go. the area she had first started excavating was about 14 meters in front of her "about 20 minutes left till I'm done" She muttered as she continued digging, using her magic to remove the dirt to one of many piles she had set aside, placing a spell on the dirt molecules so she could move them with ease at a distance, never know when you might need several hundred piled of dirt to come rushing to your aid. as she dug she heard the Flower growl again and jumped out of the hole shaking dirt of her fur and scratching at her scaley tail "The hell did you just call me?" She asked the Flower made another noise and Trixike stared at if hardly before sighing and turning back to her moat
"Look at me, Yelling at a Flower" She shook her head "I need some friends that can talk." she looked over in the direction of the town "Then again, so far everything I've meet that can talk has attacked me, so I might never get that wish" Trixike looked at the moat and grumbled, "12 meters to go" she looked down at her moat, it was about 5 meters deep and 4 meters wide "Should I make it wider?" she asked before shaking her head "no, fuck that, It's fine, maybe It'll be easier to dig If I add some of the water? Mud is probably easier to move, though also stickier." She stood in silence as she thought about it when the Flower made another noise "I AM NOT PROCRASTINATING!" she yelled, "I'll be back with your dam water" she added as she took a running start before taking flight. As she soared into the air through the forest she looked up at the Cloud town that was currently over Ponyville
"I should get some clouds," She thought "I wonder if they come in black? that would definitely scare ponies away from it" she shook her head, she had a job to do, she needs to get some water near her castle, and sooner or later running back and forth from her home to this stream she was going to get caught "I need to learn some more spells" she thought "Too bad I can't fucking read" she thought bitterly "Once I can do that, and a catch up on a few spells...Oh boy! I'll be unstoppable!" she landed just inside the forest and snuck loudly threw several bushed before she was in the line of sight to check and see if the stream was clear, sadly no, Several odd-looking creatures were relaxing next to it, she could tell one of them was a Dragon and one was a pony, and one she thought might be a Griffin, but as for the other three, she couldn't name the species. "I really hate Amnesia" she muttered as she looks at the group of young creatures."Good thing I'm basically a ninja master...what the fuck's a ninja?" She asked in confusion as she settled in her bush and watched them.
"I can't believe that school's been canceled!" Smolder said as she wadded into the water
"I heard something happened to Spike and Trixie" Silverstream added
"Who's Trixie?" Smolder asked
"The Blue mare in the Wizard hat that Counselor Starlight has Pictures of in her office." Ocellus said simply
"What'd ya think happened?" Gallus asked as he placed cards with Sandbar "and any 4s?" he asked
"Go fish" Sandbar replied before speaking up "I hear they accidentally walked in on some magical experiment and got hit by the spell"
"YONA THINK WE SHOULD SEND FLOWERS!" Yona said as she splashed in the water
"Yona we don't even know what the spell did! it probably switched their color pallets, or shrunk them down to the size of mice, or..." Smolder trailed off as she looks up at Rainbow dash sitting at a cloud, peering hard at a set of bush in front of them.
-a few minutes earlier-
"Dammit, all" Rainbow sighed as she flew around Cloudsdale "Not a thing!" She looked around "This place is awesome, they should totally be right here!" Rainbow groaned as she looked over the edge of the cloud. " Alright, where is someplace Spike or Trixie would totally go? let's see, I've checked the firework store, the pizza place, the Arcade, that Costume store. Maybe I need a new angle?" She thought as she looked down over the forest and watched in silence as Trixie broke through the trees and flew in a straight line, in clear sight, to the stream that ran by Ponyville "Or blind ass luck! I could use that!" She said as she instantly took flight, making sure to keep herself and her shadow out of sight as Trixike landed in the tree's and loudly made it's way into some bushes, "That thing had no idea how to sneak up on things" Rainbow noted as it nicely made it's way to the water, is the young 6 hadn't been talking to each other, the would definitely have noticed Trixike. "Sweet Celestia is that thing deaf?" she wondered, "Its tail is sticking out of the bush! it is literally only hidden to the kids over there, hell I bet if Yona looked over here she could see it." as she watched the creature fail in every way to sneak she too fell victim to selective hiding.
"Hey, Mr.Dash!" Ocellus called making her jump, Trixike looked up at her then shrugged and looked back at the water
"Yeah ok, that thing had brain damage or something!" She shook her head "nothing's that stupid" she thought as she flew down to the kids. Trixike watched from the bushes.
"Good thing I'm so cleverly hidden, I thought they saw me for a second," she sighed "But I should find a way to get them out of here. maybe I could scare them away with my war cry?" she thought about it "no, that's too harsh to use against children. maybe I should just make the Flower kill them so I can get the water?" as Trixike was lost in thought Rainbow dash stood staring down at her hovering in the air above her head, as she listened she lost it.
"How is killing them better than yelling at them" Rainbow clapped her hoof to her mouth as Trixike looked over at her.
"Geah!" They both screamed, Rainbow backing off and Trixike jumping out of the bush and slowly walking backward.
"So?" Trixike said as she looked up and down at the Rainbow Pony "you managed to deduce my hiding spot?"
"Should I tell it?" Rainbow thought for a second
"Clearly you are the mastermind behind the one with the hat and trigger-happy horn.
"I think I'll leave her be on that front" Rainbow decided with a smile before saying aloud "Yes! I the...Great RainbowDash have come to peacefully take you in!" Trixike squinted at her
"I think either you're using peace wrong, or I need to add yet another word to my list of words I don't understand." suddenly Trixike back into something big and fuzzy, she turned and looked up at Yona
"Holly buck!" Trixie said as Yona looked down at her "What are you and where can I find one!" Trixike demanded as she jolted back and made a curve towards the forest, only to be cut off by Smolder.
"So," Smolder said, "I don't know you, and you don't know me, so why don't we just sit down and be friends or whatever?"
"My only friend is a flower that wants me dead!" Trixike shot back, now backing up to the water as Silverstream landed behind her
"That sounds super sad," Silverstream said, "come one we can be the best of pals!" Trixike came to the realization that she had been circled as Sandbar and Ocellus walked on either side of Smolder, cutting of the forest
"The hell am I doing?" Trixike thought "I can fuckin fly?" suddenly a shadow engulfed her and Gallus body slammed from above
"Got her!"
"My Leg! SONOFABITCH!" Trixike yelled as she felt several of her makeshift stitched snap. without warning, she let out an ear-piercing screech!"
"the young 6 and Rainbow covered their ears and She bucked Gallus off trying to make a run for it, only to collapse on her now blood-soaked leg and fall on her face, they watched as she lit her horn and Ocellus hit her in the back of the head with a spell, Trixike's eye's rolled into her head and she fell to the ground unconscious
"Good work team," Rainbow said as walked over "now help me get her up, She needs serious help!" as they loaded her onto Yona's back Rainbow flew ahead to get Starlight, Applejack, and Pinkie, they had just started moving when Trixike muttered in her sleep "gotta water the flower"
Just gonna water my Flower
"This is bad" Starlight declared as she and Applejack watched Trixike struggle, her arm had been cleaned, stitched, and bandaged, she was strapped to a table, her wing's had been stuck to her back with the help of something reminiscent of a girdle, a small rectangular page was stuck to her head to block her magic, she had a Muzzle on and she was shaking violently and her eye's where darting back and forth between Starlight and Applejack
"What is?" Aj asked "we got her, sure she...seems a little unstable, but I'm sure when all the girls come back..."
"Look at her face" Starlight cut in,
"What about it?" AJ asked, "I can't see it past the muzzle."
"She's smiling" Starlight muttered, "maybe not outwardly...but her eyes." Starlight looked into her eyes "This might not have been planed, but she's not shaking in fear or rage...she's trying not to laugh at us."
"How can you tell?" Applejack asked
"She may be doing a good job hiding it, but I've seen those eye's before." Starlight frowned "Mine use to look the same, and Chrysalis had the same look in her's when she thought she was going to win" Trixike just looked down at her with a raised eyebrow and blinked,
"You can't win" Trixike muffled voice rang out "You may have me now, and I promise, I won't touch either of you."
"I'm sorry" Applejack cut in "did you just say..."
"I'm going to kill them all," She said giggling "Everything in this town will be destroyed, everypony will be ended! But you two! no...no...I want to see the look in your eyes when your home burns"
"Dammit, all" Starlight muttered, "What is wrong with you!?" She demanded, "Every time you run off and we find you, you seem...slightly more demented than before!" She rubbed her temple "I swear to Celestia, What kind of side effects does the spell have!? We just want to help you."
"I'm tied to a table, stuck in a girdle and am having my magic blocked, I feel so helped right now" Trixike shot back
"Bucking..."Starlight stormed out of the room, Aj looked between the two then ran after Starlight
"You ok?" She asked
"NO!" Starlight yelled back "IM NOT!! What is happening? How did Trixie and Spike turn into...into that! The More I look at her, at it, the more I feel Like I'm insulting their very existence! Why is it like this!?" She turned to Applejack "How did it Devole into this!?" as Starlight yelled and Applejack tried to calm her Trixike laughed
"Good, they bought it" She muttered "That should give me a few minutes to work with their overlaps in judgment" Taking a deep breath Trixike blasted a fireball, with resulted in her head being engulfed in flames. she laughed as she felt the small paper burn away and teleported out of her restraints and the Girdle. Applejack and Starlight ran back in and watch as Trixike laughed herself silly
"You two are bucking jokes!" She laughed "oh I'm gonna destroy your town and kill your family and do other super Cleache shit!" she laughed "And you fell right for it!" I was planning something! but it sure the hell wouldn't have helped me escape! Thanks for the help dumbass!" She said pointing to Starlight "I couldn't have done it without you!" with that Trixike blasted one of the window's out and rocketed into the sky "SUCKERS!!!" She called back laughing
"MOTHERBUCKER!!" Starlight yelled angrily before sighing "Thank Celestia."
"What?" AJ asked looking down
"It used me and did nothing but follow my example and used the most cliche ass movie lines to get me to storm out of the room" she sighed "Evil as fuck, arrogant, self-centered, and she made sure to rub her victory in our faces before running the hell away," Starlight sighed "I miss them...and I am getting them back!" she got to her hooves and Applejack patted her back
"Don't worry, we'll get them back, now how about we figure out what the tell Rainbow dash?" she asked as Starlight began extinguishing the fires.
"Suckers!" Trixike laughed as she blasted through the sky and headed back to the stream. landing next to it she jumped in and swam to the bottom, focusing her magic she made a portal and was sucked through it, she landed with a plop at the bottom of her moat, which began filling with water and fish.
"I have so earned an Alligator for this moat!" She cheered "and my cut is all better looking now!" she added before she continued working on the moat, after a moment she got out and just sat back and used her magic to carve out the last half meter of dirt. she giggled with joy as she watched her moat flow by, she took out a fair chunk of water and a few fish before closing the portal and walked back in "I'M HOME!" She sang out, being greeted with the Flower roaring at her "Yes this is for you" She said as she levitated the water and fish to the flower, the flower opened it's mouth and waited in Silence as she put it in its mouth before chomping down on the liquid and fish "see, I told you I'd get you water, and now you've got some fishy treats. The flower's response was an odd growling noise
"I heard that! you purred!" She laughed, the Plant made another yowling noise at her before it opened it's mouth and faced the sun "I know what I heard" she said as she flapped her wings and made her way to her tower and looked out over the forest, "ah, what a day, built a moat, got my ass captured, gave me enemy a mental break down, added water to my moat, and most importantly I watered my flower." she sighed as she looked at the sky "I never did check if clouds came in black" she muttered as she watched some fly across the sky. "And where am I going to find an Alligator!" she rubbers the bridge of her snout "So much shit to do."
Trixike hung from the side of her castle, she had wet her dirt, packed it into a large number of muddy square, then torched them good and slow, and now she was using her less than attractive looking bricks to fill in the holes in the Castel. the Plant made several roaring sounds at her
"Shut up!" She yelled back "It's all I have to work with, I know it looks bad!" she looked up at the brown splatters that presented an eyesore to the building "Dammit, it so bad" She muttered "I'm going inside, try not to eat anything that might make a good ingredient in my next friend." She called as she walked into the Castel, a row of Bricks following her in. the Flower looked around at the small area and once again tried to break out of the ground before Trixike's voice ran out "How do I fix the roof?" The Flower snapped and yowled in her direction before going back to trying to escape. "I don't think the roof is made of bricks tho" She called back
"How'd you let her get away!?" Rainbow demanded as Starlight and AJ sat in front of her awkwardly "She was so easy to catch!" Rainbow Dash muttered before taking a breath "it's fine, it's fine, I hadn't called any of the others yet, it's fine" Rainbow sighed before turning back to the forest, "and she's clearly still in the forest" as the trio looked over the forest Applejack sighed
"Who wants to bet she never left the castle?" She asked, there was silence for a second
"I'm not taking that bet" Starlight muttered "I'm certain that's where she is" as they looked over the forest Starlight shook her head "should we call the others?" She asked
"no" Rainbow decided "non of us are going," she said as she turned back to ponyville
"What?" The other two asked
"We are definitely on her shit list," Rainbow said "But I know a certain Pink Pony that might be able to at the very least befriend her"
5 minutes later
"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME!?" Pinkie demanded as she shook Rainbow "I Could have thrown her such a party! Why didn't you tell me she was here!?"
"She wasn't here long, but we figured out where she might be living and since she doesn't like us that much, we thought you could go say hi, maybe make friends with her?" in a flash Pinkie had her welcome cart loaded up
"I will go!" She declared "Nay, I MUST GO!" Pinkie ran out the door and the trio waited for her to come running back so they could tell her where she needed to go.
"Hm," Trixike muttered as she floated to the bottom of her moat and opened a portal to the stream, she swam threw and collected a few fish before swimming back threw and jumping out of her moat with the flopping fish, she levitated them to the flower, who ate them up as fast as it could.
"Alright it's time to go a-hunting" She decided as she turned to the forest "I need some new monsters" Trxiked turned back to the moat and looked on in silence as a Pink Pony waved at her
"HI!" it sang out
"Great" Trixike muttered "Another pony come to kill me"
"I'M PINKIE PIE!!" She called as Trixike sat on the other side of the moat, upon hearing the name her ear twitched
"That sounds...oddly familiar?" Trixike squinted "Have we meet before?" she asked, "I feel like I should know that name." Trixike watched as Pinkie pulled her cart to face her before pressing a button that started some pre-recorded music
"Sorry!" Pinkie called "I don't have anything but welcome to ponyville music, but this isn't ponyville so I can't actually sing the song." Trixike watched as the front opened and presented an odd lump that smelled delicious, Trixike's stomach grumbled loud enough for Pinkie to hear "You hungry?" She asked, Trixike lit her horn and levitated the food over, she took a bite, then began fastly eating it as Pinkie cheered "Eat, Eat, Eat!" once the entire cake was gone Trixike was breathing heavily
"I haven't eaten anything but Crackers today" she sighed when a loud roar rang out, Pinkie jumped but Trixike just turned around "SHUT UP!" she yelled, Pinkie looked in the entrance and watched in awe as the mega flower whipped around and roared at them. Trixike looked back at her
"Yeah, that's the Mega Flower, it was a little spider who wanted to look cute so I fused it with a flower and a tree...then it went crazy and tried to eat me" she shook her head "shouldn't have added the tree" she muttered before turning back to Pinkie
"That's so cool!" Pinkie said making Trixike jump when she realized the pony was now standing next to her "Can I touch it?"
"No!" Trixike said instantly "It's still trying to eat me And I made it." She added as they watched it whip around and snap at them, Trixike looked over at Pinkie "What's up with you tho?"
"What's up how?" Pinkie asked
"of all the creatures I've met...your the only one that has both talked and not tried to kill me" Pinkie scoffed
"I'm a party pony! I make all creatures big and small smile!" She cheered then turned to Trixike "And I will make you smile!" she added as she smushed Trixike's face.
"Please don't do that" Trixike asked as Pinkie smushed her face, once she let go Trixike gave her head a shake before looking back at the forest "Look...Pinkie, I'm about to go do...things, why don't you come back later..."
"Oh! A Dinner party!" Pinkie cheered and shook Trixike's claws "Fun!" She leaped back across the moat with ease and hooked back up to her cart "be back at 8!" she called as she ran off, Trixike watched her go and looked at the moat
"Guess it really wasn't wide enough." She muttered, she blinked when she properly thought of what Pinkie had said. "The buck does, be back at 8, mean?" She asked as she flew over her moat and into the forest to find some new creatures for her to combine.
"why's it so hard to find creatures?" Trixike asked as she flew through the forest looking around, "This place is a huge ass forest!" she landed on the ground and looked around the clearing "seriously tho where are all the animal? I know this place is dangerous! So where are the Dangers! at the moment I'm in more danger being at my own castle than I am in this fucking forest!" as she sat in the clearing she muttered, "Maybe I should just get more Spiders, flowers, and Trees." she thought as she looked around the clearing "COME OUT AND TRY TO EAT ME!" She Demanded as she looked around the forest,
"Do you hear that?" Applejack asked as she and Starlight made their way to Zecora's cabin, Starlight lifted her ears and moved them around
"I don't hear, anything" Starlight responded when the stopped and looked at the clear path in front of them "There are suppose to be Poison Joke here isn't there?" she asked
"There should be some yes," AJ responded as she lay her hoof on the bare ground "And that's what I meant, it's silent, the sky is clear, the forest is bright and beautiful" the two looked around
"Do you think Trixike is doing something?" Starlight asked when said Trixike slammed to the earth in front of them "Holly Buck!" Starlight screamed falling over as she tried to back up. Applejack stood her ground.
"Hello Trixike" Applejack greeted cautiously
"Trixike Demands to know why the Forest is Silent!" she said in an aggravated tone, Starlight looked at her in silence "WHAT?" Trixike demanded
"You...you spoke in the third person" She muttered
"So what!? Trixike's speak pattern is her own business! now Tell me what you did" the two stood in continued silence
"That was an awkward place to switch out of the third person," Applejack said bluntly, Trixike lit her horn
"Answer me or I swear I will Blast you in the face!" Trixike yelled back
"We thought this was your doing!" Starlight said as she got up "The Forest is silent, the clouds are gone, the sun is shining, and the Poison Joke has disappeared." Starlight looked around "And I'm starting to worry for Zecora" Trixike stared at them hard
"Fine, Guess I'll have to find a new location to make friends" She muttered as she took flight
"Bye" Starlight waved
"Buck you, eat Shit" Trixike called back as she took off
"She actually came and talked to us," Applejack said as she disappeared over the tree's "That's good right?"
"It's Progress, altho I don't think we can hope to be let off with just some light swearing at next time" Starlight sighed as they made their way to Zecora's,
"Zecora?" Applejack called giving the door a knock after a few moments she knocked again after the 4th knock with no answer Applejack turned to Starlight "Ok, I'm liking this less and less" as the two knocked a shadow engulfed them
"Afternoon" Discord Greeted as he landed next to them in Safari gear.
"Sweet Celestia!" Starlight sighed "Discord do you know what's going on?" she asked "the forest had..."
"been stripped clean of any and all creatures subjectable to being forcibly combined into mega monsters?" Discord asked "Yes That was me, Fluttershy and I had tea and she spent the night before I came down and we found your Winocore, so Fluttershy asked me to first make sure no animals could be subjected to any more of your fusion spell thing"
"We didn't do this! Trixike did!"
"And Trixike is...who exactly?" Discord asked, looking down at them with knowing eyes
"Alright so maybe it's our fault for kicking it off, but she's the one doing all the fusing!"
"Hold up, did you do something to Zecora?" Applejack demanded
"I was told to take all the poor defenseless creatures of Everfree and keep them safe" Discord responded "So if she was out here it's not my fault she got caught up in the spell"
"But Trixike is still out here!" Starlight shot back
"oh...um...yes" Discord gave an awkward cough "as it turns out...my magic seems to just kind of...bounce off anything effected by your fusion spell," he said with a shrug.
"What!?"
"Oh please Like I was going to come here and just fix all your problems!" Discord shook his head "hell your lucky I even did this!" He said motioning around him "If I had my way I'd join your little monster and watch as it made more adorable Freaks of nature" Discord sighed "Did you see that flower!? What a horribly disfigured creature, oh I want one for my house!" he snapped his fingers and held up a golden flower with eight blinking eyes, it's petals opened into a set of four jaws pieced full of teeth "Oh look at him" he said as he held it up "It wants to eat me so badly!" he snapped again and it disappeared "I'm going to name him Ferdinand" he whispered happily
"Discord!" Applejack said regaining his focus "We need Zecora back, we were going to ask her if she had anything that could unfuse Trixike!?" Discord laughed
"I can answer that one for you!" he said "No, your spell had cause Genetic damage!" he cheered as his Safari outfit was replaced with a teacher outfit with a chalkboard behind him a picture of Spike and Trixie on it "Ok class so after they got wet they were torn apart and I'm guessing when it first started it had four eye's and maybe a few too many limbs?" He asked
"Actually yea" Starlight confirmed "it was horrifying to watch" she added
"So tell me something, if Trixike has 4 limbs and 2 eyes, then what happened to the spares?" the two looked up at him in silence "My friends...why do you think there was so much blood in the water?" he asked with a smiled "all the spare limbs, spare eyes, spare organs, spare bones, all deemed unneeded, so they turned to liquid and stayed as liquid." Starlight jaw dropped when she realized what he was saying
"You mean all that blood was..."
"All the extra pieces of Spike and Trixie!" he cheered "with is why anything hit with your separation spell is turned to dust! It's not reversible because you only have half of the two pieces for each!" Discord patted them each on the back "Spike and Trixie are gone forever, There's no way to get them back! And Trixike is here to stay!" Applejack and Starlight sat in silence as Discord cleared his throat "So...where does she live? I want to meet her."
Trixike flew back to her castle after over an hour of scouring the forest
"Waste of my fucking time" She muttered, her eye twitched "And of course the hat and horn didn't know what was up, not that they proved anything, but Trixike has better things to do with her time then trying to kill them at every opportunity." She nodded "also I wasn't really ready to fight them" she added sheepishly, "I'm going to need more monsters first....but I guess I've scared them all off or something" she grumbled angrily, as she landed she cleared her throat
"I'm back!" She sang out happily as the Mega Flower began snapping in her direction "The Forest is empty" She sighed as she looked around her castle yard, it was large but rather barren, broken pillars lay on the ground and it was just an overall mess "I'm going inside" she decided as she circumambulated the Mega Fower before heading for the door "Call Trixike when the Pinkie arrives" She added as she walked down the dusty halls, she noted that her mud bricks where already failing in their job as she walked past a pile of them that had fallen out of the wall.
"This castle sucks" she grumbled "Trixike is so going to take that Crystal castle for herself once she's wrangled up enough monsters" as she walked through the hall past the throne room she looked in and at the tapestries above the two thrones "I want to sit in here" she muttered "But every time I walk in here I feel like I'm disappointing those two up there" She looked up at the two Alicorns and nodded "And I feel like when they come back their gonna be pissed enough about its condition, don't want them pissed at me for sitting in their chairs" she turned and left the room "besides the courtyard, towers, and Library are totally mine now" she lit her horn and teleported to her tower, it was the only area in the castle that was now Dust free. "ah Tower-Cart sweet Tower-Cart, how Trixike has missed you" she sighed as she walked in, she had gotten rid of the vanity dresses after she had broken most of it in the events of sowing her cut shut, now in it's placed sat a pile of boxes and the Chess set from the castel, the pieces where set in their proper positions she sat down and moved a pawn, without a word she walked over to the other side and sat down, moving a pawn form that side before walking back over to the first side, after 5 minutes she sat in deep consentration on the first side
"Don't think you're going to beat Trixike so easily!" she said staring hard at the empty space in front of her "For I, Trixike, has thoroughly thought every possible solution to this game, and now with this piece.." Trixike moved her queen and took the other side's knight "...Trixike has rendered you helpless, you have no choice but to knock down your own King In surrender!" Trixike laughed to herself for a second before calmly walking over to the other side,
"Dumbass," She said bluntly before moving her Queen out of reach of the other and in a direct path to the other side's king. "Checkmate," she said simply with a smile before walking back over to the other side, she blinked at the board
"BUCK!" She screamed before swiping her arms across the board, sending all the pieces flying into the wall "Your cheating aren't you!?" She yelled at the empty space in front of her, "ADMIT IT!" She demanded after a second of silence. Before she could continue she heard the Mega Flower's roar "Oh, the Pinkie has arrived for the 8" she said as she levitated over the cape and put it on with a nod "now I look fancy" she decided as she tucked her wings into her side and teleported to the door, she walked out into the Courtyard, circumambulating the Mega Flower again before heading for the front gate. waiting for her on the other side of the moat was the Pinkie and a second creature that seemed completely off in every way
"Greeting Pinkie and Thing" she said without skipping a beat, without a word she jumped into the moat, swam across and got back out, she gave herself a shack and removed the crab that had hitched a ride on her tail "the hell kind of fish are you?" she asked as it clicked it's claw's at her, shrugging she enveloped it in her magic and let it click away above her "Greeting's odd creature" she said looking up at Discord who was silently chuckling.
"I already like her" he whispered to Pinkie as the watched the Crab float above her. "Yes Hello!" Discord said offering his Lion paw hand "I am Discord god of Chaos!" he said as Trixike shook his paw "and It's a pleasure to meet you" Discord looked into the Courtyard and saw the Mega Flower, it's jaw's where open and it's tough was whipping around trying to get at them "oh my" he said as he looked at it in awe "it's even more Chaotic than I imagine" a comically large tear escaped from his eye "what a glorious day" with that said he flew straight to the flower, Before Trixike could argue Pinkie walked over and shook her still outstretched claws.
"Here!" She said happily, letting go of Trixike's claws and placing a neatly wrapped present in it "For you Castel!" She said happily as she jumped across the lake "and I like that you've still got the cape!" She added "I can find the hat for you if you don't have it!" that said Pinkie ran inside the courtyard and Trixike looked at the box in her claws and looked in the Court Yard, Discord was wearing a Lion tamers outfit, holding a chair and whipping at the Mega Flower as it tried to eat him. she looked back at the cape on her back, then back at the present. carefully she put her claws on the paper and tore through it, after a second she opened the lid and looked inside it. inside was an image of the pony and Dragon she had found with the chess set, It was apparent right away that they had not wanted to take the image, the Dragon was being levitated by the end of his tail by the unicorn, who was, in turn, getting her ear pulled on, there where words on the bottom of the image and on the Picture Frame, but since she couldn't read they where nothing but Decoration to her, she smiled at the two creatures
"Weird" she muttered "But nice" she teleported the image to her cart with a smile before turning back the to her snapping new friend "Don't worry" she told it as if floated around "I'm not going to feed you to the Mega Flower, I'm gonna find something just as Unique as you and make you one" she hopped back across the moat and looked on in silence at the stranges thing ever, Discord and Pinkie where sitting at a Table next to the Mega Flower playing with some Cards, the Mega Flower looked over at Discord and made a noise
"Go Fish" Discord said simply, the Mega Flower made a clicking sound as it used a vine to draw a card
"So many questions," Trixike said with a head shake "Not enough time in the day for an answer" she decided as she walked over to Discord "So what did you get me?" she asked. Discord thought for a second
"I suppose it is the polite thing to do" he muttered, he sat in silence for a second before pointing to the crab "Also that's called a Crab, just so you know, it's not that interesting of a creature"
"maybe not now" Trixike sang "but once I find the right object..." Discord held up his hand as Pinkie and the Flower began making a Card tower. "Hold the phone...you can't do that" Discord held up his hand to the Mega Flower "You must use a Plant! Just look at this thing!" the Mega Flower blinked at him "I can't even tell what it originally was!"
"A flower, A tree, and a dying Spider" Trixike said simply
"Ah, that explains the Mandibles" Discord muttered looking at said body parts around the Flower's mouth, "Alright let me think, what Object would make a good looking crab mosnter...well obviously..."Discord snapped and a Palm Tree appeared next to Trixike "...The Tree has to be exotic, and is needed for size" Discord scratched his chin, "but what else, oh come on I can think of something..."
"I know! I know!" Pinkie jumped in "A CACTUS!" Discord turned and pointed at her
"PINKIE YOU EVIL GENIOUS!!"
"A what-tus?" Trixike asked Discord snapped and said item appeared next to Trixike, before anything could be done Trixike was handed a notepad by Discord "now just sign here, signifying you know to never tell anypony, ESPECIALLY FLUTTERSHY, That we had any hand in this creature" Trixike looked at the notepad
"I can't read," She said bluntly, Discord took her hand and covered it in ink
"just a claw print then" Discord corrected after Trixike hit the paper and it vanished she turned to the cactus and the Palm tree and carefully place the Crab on top of the tree, Discord, Pinkie, and the Mega flower watched in silence as Trixike's eye's glew Blue and a ball of magic materialized between her horn, the ball shot out and hit the three Cactus and Crab and the three items melted
"ok, so this might explode," Trixike said causing the trio next to her to turn "so just a heads up." They watched as a mega-sized crab began forming, the top half was mostly organic, but the legs and claw's where entirely plant, taking on the texture of the palm tree, it was when the exoskeleton formed that the Cactus came into place, the Greens cactus-like skin began forming, sharp spike's sticking out, at the point where the arms began Palmtree leaves began sprouting, the legs and the creatures head had a wooden texter, but the rest was cactus.
"wow, I guess Plant's don't explode," Trixie said as the Creature's eye's fully formed and it blinked, the creature looked around in confusion as Trixike squealed "Yes! Finally a new creature!" She hugged it's leg as it looked around, she let go and levitated to eye level "Turn on me and I'll bury you in the ground like the Mega Flower.
"Marvelous" Discord cheered as he looked up at the New Creature! " a PalmTree Crab Cactus!" Pinkie was on the creatures head throwing confetti
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" She screamed before turning to the Mega Flower and Trixike individually and throwing confetti on them "and Happy Later Birthdays!" she added, the Crab monster looked around, completely confused as it tried to figure out where it was, why it was there, and what it was in general.

Mega Crab or Palrabtus? comment below
Attack of Palrabtus The Mega Crab
Discord and Pinkie looked up at Trixike and her new monster, in the span of 5 minutes she already had it listening to her every word, the two watched as she made it walk around the courtyard and pick us broken brick structures, carry them to a corner and began piling them up.
"Now grab that one!" Trixike demanded, pointing to yet another large pile of broken and stay bricks, the Crab simply walked over sunk it's claw into the ground and pulled up, removing all the bricks and a fair amount of dirt too, Trixike squealed in joy "Oh, I'm gonna add a streaming running right through here!" she said looking at the multitudes of holes in the ground. Trixike was standing on top of its head between its eyes and began scratching it. it started thumping its leg against the ground "Good boy!" she said, getting some clicks for a reply "Sorry, Good Girl" she amended still scratching
"She speaks Crab!?" Pinkie asked in amazement
"More like, she can understand creature's flowing with the same magic she is made of" Discord corrected "It's more understanding what they mean, less speaking the direct language." Pinkie looked over at Discord
"That doesn't make any scene!" Pinkie replied after thinking it over for a few seconds
"We just made a Mega Monster Crab and you're worried about things making sense?" Discord asked "You? Are complaining to Me? About the Logical understanding of something?" Discord squinted at her in silence, and Pinkie nodded
"You got me there," she said, "Nothing about this make's sense, Right mega Flower?" she asked turning to the large monster plant, which gave a nod in response. Trixike watched the conversation in silence and called out
"Mega Flower!" Said flower looked over as she lit her horn, and with several large cracks the ground around the Mega flower was weakened "You can Walk around...but so help me if you try to eat me again..." she cut off there as the Mega Fower used it's Vine-like roots to stand up, walk 5 feet to the left, and sat back down with a relaxed sighing like noise. "Ok good," she said as she turned back to her new creature "now It's time I gave you a name my Crabby friend" she started scratching it again as she thought. "How About Mega Crab?" she asked, the Crab gave several clicks in response "yeah...that's fair" she replied as she looked around at her monster "ok your a Crab, Tree, Cac..."
"Palm Tree!" Discord Corrected, sitting in a chair sunbathing with the Mega Flower.
"Alright, your a Palm Tree, Crab, Cactus," Trixike said starting over, she sat in silence for a second "Palrabtus!" She Declared loud and clear "The Mega Crab!" she patted her monster on the head "P.T.M.C for short," she said happily. P.T.M.C sat in silence than gave a click "Great! Glad you like it" Trixike said "now, how I hate to be rude" Trixike said turning to Discord and Pinkie "But I and my two monsters need to go do something," She said happily.
"Oh I understand," Pinkie said "you probably have some fun birthday activity's planned," Pinkie said as she and Discord moved out of the way so the Mega Flower could follow Palrabtus and Trixike to the Castel main gates
"We better go tell The others there's a new monster," Pinkie said, "but not to worry, I think we've 100%..."
"ALRIGHT MY FRIENDS, LET'S GO BUCK UP PONYVILLE!" Trixike yelled out,
"...failed to make her in any way a better Kirin" Pinkie said as they watched the three leave
"And we've in fact helped her by giving her a new monster to play with," Discord said in silence "Wait...FLUTTERSHY'S IN PONYVILLE!!" With a snap Discord teleported away, Pinkie ran after Trixike and the two monsters.
"Wait for me guys!" Pinkie yelled out as she got to their side "Do you have to go to..."
"Of course," Trixike said happily "The Hat one and the Trigger Horn must pay for trying to turn me to dust! Also, I need to go to that Tree Field and get some Apples
"But those two are my friends," Pinkie said, "Can't we work something out or...." Pinkie went silent when she saw that Trixike's happy smiled had turned into a deep frown
"Spy..." She said, her eye's and horn glowing a crimson red
In Ponyville
"YOU DID WHAT!?" The four mare's demanded, looking at Discord in shock.
"Not one of my best moments" Discord declared "But Pinkie is trying to slow them down." he pointed to the forest "So we have like 5 minutes to think up a plan!"
"Discord" Fluttershy interjected, "I'm very disappointed in you..."
"Now's not the time," Starlight said, cutting Fluttershy off "Discord what kind of Monster did you help her make?" Discord opened his mouth to respond when Pinkie screaming bloody murder hit their ear's the 5 turned and watched as she ran full speed away from the forest
"I SHOULDN'T HAVE SAID THAT!" She screams as a bolt of Red Light followed her in hot pursuit, turning several trees to ash and making the stream boil. Discord snapped his fingers and Pinkie was teleported out of the way before it could hit her. Pinkie blinked as she stood with her friends "Talk about 0 to 100!" She said "one second she's super happy, then I mention I'm friend with you!" she pointed to Applejack and Starlight "and she tried to kill me!"
"She was so chill with us last time!" Applejack said turning to the forest "The buck?" Discord cleared his throat
"Side effects of the Fusion spell include VIolent mood swings" he declared "and adding that she's part dragon..." Discord chuckled "...VIolence can come in the form of 1, childish anger, to 100, Murderous rampage" Discord chuckled "In other words, Mentally unstable,"
"YOU'RE ONLY TELLING US THIS NOW!" Rainbow yelled when with a loud scream Palrabtus with Trixike's riding her Broke through the tree's Trixike's eye's still glowing, getting brighter when she Saw DIscord
"BUCK YOU ALL!" She Screamed, "YOU LIEING BACK STABBING BITCHES!!"
"Yeah, I probably should have turned invisible" Discord sighed as Rainbow took to the air,
"Ok Fluttershy come with me, Time to evacuate the town"
"Oh my..." Fluttershy said in stunned silence as the Mega Flower made its way into view "...What have they done?" She asked
"Question what they...I mean it...I mean SHE! Has done later" Rainbow said pushing her friend "We need to move fast!" as the two pegasi flew to town, the other 4 stood their ground
"Discord go get an Alicorn..." Starlight said facing the three monsters
"Witch....?" he started
"DON'T CARE WITCH JUST GET ONE OR ALL!" Starlight yelled back,
"On it!" Discord said with a salute before snapping away.
"Move!" Pinkie yelled as Palrabtus held up a claw and fired a thorn barrage at the trio, the three split.
"MEGA FLOWER EAT THE PINKIE!" Trixike said "PALRABTUS GO FOR THE TOWN" She added as she jumped off her crab and turned "HORN AND HAT ARE MINE" The Mega Flower turned towards Pinkie and roared as it made its way towards her, Palrabtus moved at an alarming speed towards Ponyville, Trixike flew in the air and shot another red beam down at the duo.
"Shit!" Starlight said as she made a barrier, the barrier began cracking "She's just getting stronger and crazier as time goes on!" Applejack picked up a rock and bucked it at Trixike as hard as she could, Trixike caught it with ease and looked over at Applejack, the red beam following her movement, and Applejack booked it
"This is getting too far out of my pay grade" Applejack called as Trixike's laser beam followed her, Starlight blasted Trixike with a spell, forcing her to turn off the laser and raise a shield as soon as the barrier was raised Trixike blinked and the red was gone, her magic returned to its usual color and the pissed off looked became slightly less pissed
"Buck you," Trixike said angrily as she bubbled herself and Applejack turned
"Mood swing's" She muttered "Nice to know she can only do that when completely pissed off" AJ looked over and decided Pinkie was in the most need of help, Pinkie was basically running a lap around Ponyville backwards as the Mega Flower failed to keep up with her speed and began breaking chunk of ground and building off and tossing them at her
"This is the weirdest game of Dodgeball I've ever played!" Pinkie called as she dodged a chunk of rock being thrown at her, Applejack pointed this out to Starlight, who cut off her beam and used her magic to envelope the Mega Flower, with a loud echoing snap, she forced the Flower's steam to break backward, the Fower let out a loud echoing scream as it fell to the earth
"BUCK OFF MY FLOWER!" Trixike screamed as she cast a completely random spell at Starlight and AJ, who dodged and made a run for it, Trixike flying after them and shotting random spell after random spell at them. Palrabtus was meeting little resistance as she tore threw ponyville, she crushed threw building and shot thorn's at any pony or animal she saw, suddenly pain shot through one of her legs and she kicked out, the thing that bitten her was sent flying, it extended wings and turned in the air landing safely on its paws. Winocore gave a distorted bark at Palrabtus, who responded with a series of pissed clicks. P.T.M.C held up both its claws and began shooting thorns at its traitorous brethren, giving more clicks
"Yeah, you tell it!" Trixike cheered, overhearing the clicks as she chases her foes threw ponyville, Pinkie was running again as the Mega Flower, with several painful sounding snaps, got back upright and gave chase to Pinkie, the Chaos might have gone on indefinitely if Discord hadn't arrived with Celestia and Twilight
"Holly..." was all Celestia could say as she watched Rainbow dash join Winocore in attacking Palrabtus, landing on her head and hitting the crab's eye, resulting in thorn's being shot out of every part of the crab's body as it clicked in pain
"THAT'S THE FLOWER!" Twilight asked in disbelief as said flower destroyed a building trying to get Pinkie
"Little help!" Pinkie asked as a cart was thrown at her, resulting in a fatal doge that allowed the Mega Flower to finally catch her "PLEASE!" She added before the Flower could enjoy its catch Twilight blasted its open mouth, the flower dropped Pinkie and immediately ran back to the forest, screaming in agony as Twilight's spell set it on fire. Palrabtus was trying to get Rainbow Dash of its eye when Twilight Levitated it in the air and with ease sent it flying into the forest clicking madly. it was then that Trixike realized her pet's had been set off
"HEY!" She screamed "Buck off my Mons..." in a flash she was cut off when Celestia slammed her to the ground "..ters.." she finished weakly in her crater, being held down by Celestia's Magic
"That was fast" Twilight muttered as Celestia teleported down next to Trixike
"Alright. Answers" Celestia demanded as she magically Chained Trixike up so she couldn't run away. Starlight and Applejack looked at each other.
"We forgot to lock the door."
Author's Note
there are parts of this chapter where the monsters talk to each other, just a heads up
Monster time
Starlight lay in front of the Unconscious Trixike, after trying to get free via magic, fire, then swearing Celestia had hit her with a knock out spell so as to properly hear the story, They had just finished telling their tale and the duo were sitting down while they waited for Rarity's return. Celestia was sitting next to Trixike and calmly patting her head
"it is alright, you are not in your right mind, I don't blame you..." she was whispering, Starlight and Applejack looked at each other when she added in a raised voice "And you two are not to blame either" she looked to the duo "I'm sure you two, and maybe a few others, have and still are harshly blaming yourselves" Celestia smiled "But it is fine, there is a difference in being involved in an accident and causing an accident" Celestia got up, levitating Trixike behind her "And at this moment in time I know that this could have easily happened to anypony"
"Thank you, Princess," Applejack said, "It's nice to know your not....exethingly pissed.."
"Oh I am" She corrected "Just not at you," She said politely before turning to an inconspicuous tree "Discord get your ass out here now," She said in a tone neither mare's had heard before, Discord's head popped out
"Why me?" he demanded, "Pinkie was there too! And they are the ones who made her!" Celestia frowned at Discord
"Did Pinkie give the mentally unstable Trixike with even more Unstable magic a Cactus and a Palm Tree?" She asked Discord whipped over to look at Pinkie
"You traitor!" He yelled
"I promised nothing" Pinkie called back
"And did Starlight and Applejack go to said monster, encourage it to make more monsters, then leave a pony behind to deal with it by herself?"
"Celestia dammit Pinkie!" Discord called before turning to the princess "um...no offense?"
"Offence taken" Celestia responded
"Well you can try and punish me however you want, there is nothing you can do!" he said coming out of the plant and sitting on it facing away from her "So Ha!" Celestia smiled
"Your right there's nothing I can do." Discord instantly turned back to her
"What are you planning?" he demanded, Celestia simply sidestepped and allowed Fluttershy to walk past her to Discord
"AHHHH!" Discord screamed
The Mega Flower had it's head in the moat still, the fire had long gone out, but it still hurt. Palrabtus was pacing around the courtyard finally the Mega Flower pulled out of the moat
"Is it back yet? " it asked in its roaring voice
"Not Back!" Palrabtus clicked in responded "Not Back" the Mega flower shook its head
"I can't believe this shit," it roared angrily "It was Trixike's Idea to attack, but she didn't come home when losing" The Mega Flower let out an angry growl "Stupid to hide from defeat, should just come back and plan new plan!"
"Maybe gone?" Palrabtus asked, "Maybe no come home?" The Mega Flower turned back to her
"Maybe," Mega Flower thought "Where two scary ponies there" The Mega Flower shivered as it thought of the purple one that had set it on fire and with a scream it dunked it's head back in the water as the memory of the pain hit it's memory again, it kept it's head under for a while for re-emerging "Alright let's go check pony town for Trixike" The Flower decided, the two monsters began the short journey back to the town and, after making Palrabtus stay in the thicker part's of the tree, the Mega Flower opened it's mouth and checked for Trixike's scent "is still in town" It noted before poping one of its eyes out, the eye grew small vines and took the shape of a spider, the eye blinked and the Mega Flower closed the rest of its eyes and focused on controling its spider eye, The Spider eye crawled across the grass and made it's way extermly swiftly twords the town, it looked around at the broken town, most of its enhabitents had returned and where checking the damage that it and the other two had done. the eye crawled up a building and looked around the wrecked town, it took little time to find Trixike, as most of the creatures of the town had her surrounded
"Holly shit," Shining Armor said as he and Cadence looked down at the now snoring Trixike "Why was this not in your letter!?" Shining asked turning to Twilight "'look for Trixie and Spike together' what in too much of a hurry to add that they were on and the same?" he asked
"I haven't slept in over a day" Twilight retorted "A little slack?" Shinning sighed
"Mom and Dad are going to have heart attacks" he muttered as Cadance looked Trixike over
"What happened to her arm?" she asked looking at the stitches under the dirty bandage
"Winona got her" Applejack responded "Trixike's retaliation was...less than pleasant" she added pointing to Winocore scratching its ear, Cadence looked at the monster than back at Trixike
"The Dog monster seems mentally stable, so why is she...?"
"Due to a misunderstanding, she believes that Applejack and I, and by extension anypony near us, are attempting to kill her" Starlight responded "it's a...long story" Cadence frowned on as she looked at Trixike
"I'm taking her back to the empire" She decided
"What?" Starlight asked, "Why?"
"If she's becoming violent to you and AJ and anypony near the two of you, then it's probably best to seprate her from you, Applejack, and anypony she's seen in this town in any way shape or form. And the Empire seems like the safest bet, she looked over the crowd "who has not Spoken Directly to her yet?"
"Rarity, Luna, Fluttershy..."
"She may have seen me before she invaded the town" Fluttershy called, she was standing firmly as she made Discord stand in a corner
"Can I get out now?" he asked
"No, you still have another 5 minutes" Discord grumbled angrily "and now it's 10 minutes, wanna keep going?"
"No" Discord mumbled
"Tell me you got that on Camera," Luna said to her sister looking at the scene before her trying not to laugh
"Oh yea" Celestia confirmed "I send you a copy after it's developed"
"Ok so Rarity and Luna can come and say high after I've confirmed that not being in ponyville has calmed her down then we can try reintroducing her to the rest of you" The Group muttered amongst each other before Celestia stepped forward
"Cadence..." she said simply "...That plan is better than anything I can think of at the moment, so for the time being that is the plan." Unbeknownst to them the Spidereye had crawled into their midsts and was hiding in Trixike's cape trying to wake her up when Cadance levitated Trixike onto her back and holding hooves with Shining the two teleported away. the Mega Flower Blinked as its eye went too far from it to remain in control
"Where at?" Palrabtus demanded, The flower held up a vine and after a second felt the faint pull of it's missing eye to the north
"Trixike is far that way, is kidnapped! Must move now!" The two monsters began their journey to Trixike, having no idea what lay in front of them.
Trixike awoke with a start, she blinked sleepily looking around the cell she was in, there was a small barred window in the middle of the wall at the highest point, the bed she lay on was a wall fold in, there was a small shelf on the wall across the room with an assortment of books and toys, in the corner was a rocking chair, a small desk, and a lamp, the floor had a small rug on it and a few more toy's lay on the floor. Trixike groaned and rolled off the bed and landed on the floor with a thump
"Where is Trixike at?" She groaned "and why does her head hurt so much?" Trixike tried to get to her claws and ended up sliding off them onto her belly "Ow" she muttered in exhaustion, she lay on the floor for a few minutes before she began snoring again, as soon as it was clear she was sleeping she was levitated back into the bed and tucked in
"She was smashed face first into the ground," Cadence said quietly as she looked in on Trixike, she turned to her husband "I'm going to stay down here for a short while" Shining nodded
"Don't worry I got you honey" the two rubbed their noses quickly before Shining turned to leave "See you at dinner darling" he called as he made his way out of the dungeons. Cadence looked back into the cell, Trixike was still sleeping safe and sound, her magic was disabled, and her ability to breath fire had been cut off as well "Don't worry" Cadance smiled "I'll make it all better" she sat in silence, listening to Trixie's silent snoring, waiting for her to sleep off the headache.
The Mega Flower and P.T.M.C where having a meeting
"Had never been that way," P.T.M.C complained
"Trixike is one who feeds us!" Mega Flower interjected, "And the only creature that can keep us safe from the scary purple thing!" it added, P.T.M.C shivered as it remembered being punched in the eye, that one glorious moment when it thought Trixike was saving it, and the horror of being thrown into the forest, she squinted,
"Eye's still hurt, but the leg is better!" She moved the bitten leg, the wood had fallen off and was already re-growing
"Not important, No Trixike, no protection from the scary purple thing!" The Mega Flower turned to the edge of the forest, there were was a loud roaring monster and a multitude of ponies
"We need to stay out of sight" it added "Other ponies scared by us and attack!" it shivered "maybe Purple thing hiding, looking for us..." the Mega flower turned to Palrabtus "OK here's plan! we follow the path!" It pointed to the odd path the monster began rolling on as it finished letting weaker creatures ride in it "other monster is a friend to ponies, not to use, but leaves easy to follow path, we follow the path, Trixike in direction of the path, the monster in with one who takes Trixike away
"New Enemies?" P.T.M.C asked as they began walking through the forest
"Not sure" Mega Flower roared "Two ponies flash away with Trixike, is stealing her...but stealing away from scary purple one and tall white one" it shook it's head and added with a grunt "Is the half and half chance of friending or foeing creatures" the two monsters moved on in silence, having no idea where they where heading, only knowing Trixike was in the same General direction.
Cadence watched in a mixture of amusement and worry and Trixike tried to eat the bars, she had woken up and managed to stay awake on her third attempt, and had immediately turned hostile.
"Please," Cadence has said when she had awoken "There is no reason to attack me"
"Lies!" Trixike had screamed back "Your lying! The Pinkie and the Discord said they were friends! THEY WHERE SPIES!!!!" Cadence covered her ear's at Trixike's glass breaking shriek "SPY!!!! YOU TAKE TRIXIKE'S MONSTERS!!! NOW YOU TAKE TRIXIKE!!! Trixike had than began gnawing on the bars, bars that had been designed by Discord to keep her in, as a way of apologizing to Fluttershy...tho he was still facing some major punishment in trying to get Fluttershy less disappointed in him. Cadence sat down and waited to see if Trixike would stop on her own, after about 15 minutes it became clear that wasn't happening anytime soon.
"This cage was made so you couldn't leave without permission" Cadance motioned to the gap between bars "You can't even put your claws through the holes. instantly Trixike's hand struck out for the gaps, meeting an invisible wall, Cadence watched as Trixike switched from chewing to pushing "Please I only want to talk to you" Trixike ignored her as she continued pushing, "You're not here as a Prisoner, you're here so I can help you get better" she continued "Your mind has been warped, your thoughts are a confusing mess, and you've been having mood swings, going from nice to murderous at the drop of a hat. Trixike's eye's snapped to her
"Hat...HAT!!DID THE HAT ONE DO THIS!?" She demanded, ramming her head against the bars "WHO PUT TRIXIKE IN HERE!?"
"I did," Cadence said calmly
"LIES!" Trixike screamed back scratching at the air in Cadences Direction "YOU LIE!!! Trixike does not know you!! So you can't know Trixike!!" Cadence watched as Trixike continued screaming the word 'lies' at her with a variety of ways to add to it, after 20 minutes Trixike finally stopped to take a breath
"You seem pretty good at screaming angrily" Cadence noted
"LIES...I Mean...TRUE!" Trixike squinted at her "You know what screw this" she decided, turning tail and walking to the other wall "Trixike's Monster will come for her"
"Please, I just want to hel..."
"LEAVE ME!!" Trixike screamed "I WILL NOT HEAR YOU LIES!!! YOUR SCREAMS, YOU WILL NEVER FOOL TRIXIKE, SHE HAD LEARNED OF THIS TRICK ALREADY!!" Cadence sighed as Trixike screamed on "TRIXIKE WILL NOT BE TRICKED AGAIN!!" Cadence walked out of the Cell's light of sight and sat down, rubbing her head as Trixike continued to scream at the room,
"I'm going to give her an hour to cool off before sending Shining down" She Decided as she began going back upstairs "It might take quite some time before we can get her to an emotional level that will allow us to get a word in, but now is definitely not the time," she thought as she listened to Trixike's screaming.
"YOU THINK YOU WILL BREAK TRIXIKE!? SHE IS INDOMINABLE, SHE IS LIKE THIS WALL!!!" Cadence closed the door, magically muting the corridor Trixike was in and sighed
"Maybe a little longer than an hour" she amended.

did you spot the arbitrary reference to an old TV show I put in? comment below what you think it is and what show you think it's from
side note the Path and Monster mentioned by P.T.M.C and Mega Flower is a Train and it's Tracks.
Shining sat awkwardly in front of Trixike's cell, the latter of whom was playing with one of the toy's she had been provided, ignoring Shining, who just watched as she rolled the little cart back and forth, a little Luna action figure riding on it, the custom-made action figures of the mane 6, the princess, Starlight, and a few other important creatures in Spike and Trixie's lives, along with Spike and Trixie themselves now lay in a pile, destroyed books, and a pile of splinters that had once been a shelf lay in the corner, in the end, Luna's
"I see you at least like Luna" Shining spoke up, looking at the mess of famous pony toy's smashed to bits, he had assumes Luna was the only survivor, altho after teleporting the pile out of the cell and inspecting the pile he noticed a few of the toys they'd put in the cell with her were definitely missing from the mess, and he happily noted that while he was apart of the mess, Cadence seemed to have been spared. "I see you don't break Cadence's toy" Shining spoke up, Trixike continued to ignore him "Come on, There has to be something I can do to get you to actually talk to me."
"Go away" Trixike responded rolling her toy back and forth "Trixike is busy playing with the piece of plastic in the shape of the pony from the castle pictures and this tiny cart"
"Look I understand you don't trust us...."
'LA,LA,LA,LA....TRIXIKE CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!" She yelled out suddenly
"Celestia dammit" Shining sighed as Trixike continued la-ing as loud as she could. "Alright, you wanna act like a foal?" in a flash the toys both under her blanket and the two she was playing with disappeared.
"HEY!" Trixike turned on the spot "Trixike was using that, Return it to her at once!"
"No," Shinning said firmly
"Now!" Trixike demanded
"Oh, sorry, here you can have these ones," Shining said returning the ones she'd smashed to pieces. Trixike looked at the pile in silence, then began screaming
"TRIXIKE WANT'S THE PLASTIC THINGS BACK!" Shinning covered his ears with magic
"NOW I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!" He called back. He sat and watched as Trixike began hitting the ground
"TRIXIKE WANTS IT!!" She screamed,
"Sweet Celestia" Shinning said as he watched her Grab the lamp and beat it against the cage, shattering it, Shining acted on instinct and teleported the lamp just as it made contact, the shattered pieces hitting the wall behind him, Trixike looked at her empty hand in confusion, then started crying
"Trixike wants her stuff back" She wined
"Listen, why don't we..." Shining sighed as Trixike flopped on the floor and sobbed on the floor, Shining lit his horn "...Cadence." he called using his magic "I can't tell if I'm close to a breakthrough or if I'm just making things worse."
"I'll be right there" Cadence responded, teleporting next to him, she looked down at Trixike crying on the floor "What happened?" She asked as Shining picked up the broken lamp
"Same thing that happened when I took Furry Heart's toy's from her for misbehaving" Shining motioned to the broken lamp "I got assaulted with a Lamp" Cadence sighed and got on the floor looking in on Trixike "Hi Trixike, are you ok?" Trixike just cried into the floor "Do you wanna talk about it?" Trixike did not respond "Alright how about this?" Cadence took the Luna figure and teleported it to Trixike's hand, Trixike's claw closed on the figure and she looked up, shaking her hand with the Luna in it "See, you can have the cart back if you sit up and talk to us ok?" Cadence asked, after a few sniff Trixike sat up, whipped her nose and held mini Luna to her chest
"Mine" She muttered holding the toy
"Yes, It is yours, but if misbehave it will be taken away again" Trixike opened her mouth to retort when Cadence continued "But if you just talk to me and Shining you can have the rest of them back
"The ones that you didn't break at least" Shining cut in removing the pile from the cel "Sorry about that, But if your really good you can have your cape back" Trixike muttered something and Shining lifted his ear "Come again?"
"It's not Trixike's Cape, it belongs to the Blue pony," she said louder. Shining and Cadence looked at each other
"Can you...do you know where the Blue pony is?" Cadence asked
"No" Trixike replied "But I stole her cart" she muttered "Now it's Trixike's cart" Cadence looked over at Shining who was frowning
"A...friend of ours said that her friend's cart had been stolen" Shining spoke up "It was next to the...Crystal Castel.."
"Trixike took it" Trixike responded, "she also took the Chess set, the book, and the picture." Cadence and Shining looked at each other once more.
"Thank you for talking to us," Cadence said politely "You can have your toys back" in a flash The pile of none destroyed toy's appeared next to Trixike, they noted that, oddly enough, along with the Cadence toy the Applejack toy and Starlight toy had been saved to, they didn't have time to inspect farther tho as Trixike immediately covered them in her blanket and began gathering them up, the two watched, briefly catching a glimpse of the Fluttershy figure before Trixike had returned to pile to her bed. she reached around in it and pulled the cart back out, put Luna back in it and began rolling it back and forth in silence, Cadence and Shining left the dungeon area and closed the door
"We should probably tell Starlight about the Cart" Shinning said, "We don't know where it is, but Trixike has it hidden away so we can at least soothe her worries about it having been stolen."
"You Do that, I'm gonna go to the Kitchen, The meal should be ready for her by now" with that the Two made their way to their respective Directions "And don't forget to return her cape!" Cadence added
"as soon as the letter is sent!" Shining called back.

The Chapter in witch Trixike throw's a Temper Tantrum.
Rub a Dub Dub, Trixike in the Tub
Cadence and Shining watched as Trixike played with the Mini Luna and the cart.
"She's completely enamored with those two toy's imparticular isn't she?" Shining asked as Trixike pushed the toy back and forth, suddenly she held up her arm and began chewing on the stitches in her arm
"Hey!" Cadence yelped without hesitation "Don't do that!"
"Trixike is only cleaning herself" Trixike shot back "and if they break off then she will stitch them shut herself like the first time" she turned back and began biting into the arm again, only stopping when Cadence forced her to stop with magic "But it Itches!" She whined as Cadence pulled her over to make sure nothing had been reopened, however, a new problem was brought to their eye's as soon as Cadence noticed an off black mark on Trixike's neck.
"Is that what I think it is?" she asked, Shining looked at in and frowned
"If you were thinking it was a Tick, then yes." he confirmed "and now that I'm getting a good look at her snarl...her Teeth are rather yellow...and her scales are all scuffed and scratched, and there is a fair amount of mud around the base of her horns too."
"Your mane is a mess!" Cadence added as she looked at it, a small stick was stuck behind Trixike's ear "When's the last time you brushed your teeth? Or brushed your mane? Or took a Bath even?"
"Why are you yelling gibberish at me?" Trixike asked Cadence and Shining turned to each other
"Discord made a set of chains so we could mover her around right?" Cadence asked
"Indeed he did" Shinning confirmed
"Good, go get them." Cadence said Shinning took off at full speed as Cadence turned back to Trixike "how do you not smell?"
"I Can Smell!" Trixike shot back "how dare you accuse Trixike's body of not functioning at maximum working order!"
-Meanwhile-
The Mega Flower and P.T.M.C where tiered, they had been walking for almost three hours, and they were still far from their goal
"Rest?" Palrabtus asked
"Rest" Mega Flower confirmed flopping its roots down and groaning. As the two mega monsters embraced the sweet feeling of not doing anything several pairs of eyes stared down at them
"These are them correct?" the owner of one of the eye's asked
"Yes, A Deamon Flower and a Supper sized tropical crustation" another pair confirmed, this one having a normal eye and a black eye with a white pupil "To be taken in alive, per the queen's orders" the other eye's nodded
"Good, Excellent, Fantastic even!" the eye's emerged from the shadow's and the black Changling looked down at the unaware monsters "Queen Chrysalis will be thrilled...wait..." The changling did a quick headcount "I'm only counting two?"
"Yes, these are two of the three targets" the changling with weird eyes confirmed.
"Where is the maker?" the first one asked in confusion "the one who is the creator of these monster before us, the one in which was the only one we had to come back with?" the 2nd one looked down at the monsters
"that is not with these, so it is safe to assume that that one is...not here" the first changling grumbled angrily
"Dumb, Stupid, Low intelligence even" he muttered, "Release the gas group-A, and return these ones to the Queen, Group-B discards the material and use the 2nd one to locate the maker." The Changeling's moved into position. and the 1st changling watched as his orders where followed and gas was released onto the monsters, before they could even react the two beasts went down, along with about half the squad as well
"Wow, a new record," the 2nd one said counting the ones that had passed out "we've never had so few casualties before."
"Useless, Unneeded, Pointless even!" The 1st one complained "we use to be mighty, but then those traitors had to go become magic Skittles and betray our queen!" the Changling turned to group-B, who had discarded the Large Thorn retrieved from Ponyville and were now using a blue wizard hat
"And?" the 1st one asked in excitement
"unsure sir" one of them replied "Bad Signal" the first one groaned
"Fuck, Shit, Dammit even!" He complained as the first group attempted to move the large monsters and there passed out companions
-Meanwhile-
"NO!" Trixike screamed as Cadence and Shining used a combination of their magic to make her follow them, she had two small crystal rings around her horns and a neck chain, canceling out her magic and her Fire Breath. tho she was doing a good job at clinging to the wall.
"You need it" Shinning grumbled as he pulled on her with as much magical force as he could.
"NO!" She screamed back
"Trixike, You are coming with us this instant!" Cadence said as she pulled on Trixike, finally, with a loud crunch The wall Trixike was clinking to broke off still in her hands
"NO!" She denied, still holding the broken wall piece as the two dragged her up the stairs "TRIXIKE WILL NOT!!" it felt like forever, but the two finally pulled Trixike into their bathroom and with a loud click Cadence magically locked the door. "NO!" Trixike said swinging the broken chunk of the wall at them, in a flash that was removed from the room "YOU CAN NOT MAKE HER!!" She screamed before Cadence forced her mouth open
"Now!" Shining lit his horn and opened a drawer, taking out an emergency back up tooth-brush and took the toothpaste of the counter, after setting it up he forced it into Trixike's mouth and began brushing as Cadence forced her to keep her mouth open
"Just let it happen," Cadence said as Trixike tried to crush the brush with her teeth while fighting it off with her tongue
"Stop...fighting!" Shining said, "This is for...your dental health!" After 7 and a half minutes he finally finished "Alright time for the horns!" Shining placed the brush on the counter and took another one from the drawer, at the same time getting a cup of water and pouring it in Trixike's mouth, who spat it out.
"NO!" Trixie continued screaming "NO!!!" Cadence forced her to look down and helped Shining in scrubbing the gunk off her horns, once done Shining held her down as Cadence filled the tub with boiling hot water
"That seems a little hot honey" Shining chimed in
"One time Spi...One time he told me that the only way to properly buff out scales is with boiling water and a lot of scrubbing
"RELEASE ME, INSOLENT FOOL BOY!!" Trixike screamed as Shining sat next to her calmly waiting for his cue.
"Alright, did you place the spell on her arm?" Cadence asked
"the Stitched won't be bothered by the water" Shining confirmed as he levitated and forced Trixike into the water, she immediately pushed against the tub's rims. Cadence plucked one of her feathers walked to Trixike and tickled her, resulting in Trixike's laughing and falling in, she began screaming again, when Cadence dropped a few tub toy's in the water, Trixike stopped and looked at them float, before giggling and grabbing two of them the couple sat back sighing as they watched her calm down and begin playing with the tub toys
"Great, "Shining groaned "now once she's scrubbed and cleaned she's gonna be screaming at us to put her back in the tub for half an hour."
"Oh, no dought about it" Cadence agreed as they watched her play with the little toy boat's. "then we get to do the exact same thing with Flurry." She added Shining's eye's twitched and he face planted on the floor.

I used an Invader Zim line, and I feel no remorse.
Trixike was playing with the mini Spike and Trixie when the door to the hallway opened, instantly Trixike shoved them under her sheets and pulled out the Luna toy and put her in the cart to be pushed around, she turned her back and pushed the toy back and forth, she had the rings around her horn at all times since it had taken Cadence and Shining almost an hour to get them on and had been left on so she could be moved at a moments notice, they had a magical charm on them to prevent Trixike from touching them. Trixike expected to hear the voices of one of her two watchers, instead, she heard a new voice
"Good morning" Trixike turned and looked up at the Pony from the tapestry, Luna looked back down at her with a smiled "It's a pleasure to finally meet you," she said politely as Trixike looked up at her in awe
"Your not mad that I stole your castle are you?" Trixike asked, "Cause you and the white one, are the ones that left it to fall apart!" as she said this she crawled under her bed "And I did add a moat, so now it's even better than before." Luna smiled, being long used to scaring ponies around her.
"Why yes, I saw the moat, and I must say I love what you did with the place," Luna said politely "And I'm so sorry" she added liting her horn and levitating Trixike out of her hiding spot "but somepony stole your cart and your monsters from the Castel" Trixike instantly stopped acting scared and switched to being pissed.
"What! My Mega Flower and Palrabtus have been foalnapped!" She demanded, "I Demand three creatures, One that has a good sense of smell, one that look's cute, and one that is scary looking!!" Luna looked down at her "Anything made of less than three things has proven to...turn on me" Trixike said with a shrug, Luna chuckled
"Alright, Since I have failed you in terms of keeping your things safe I'll strike a deal, I'll let you make One monster, but I have too ok it, and you have to leave your cape here, Deal?" Trixike jumped
"Yes! Deal!" she said, jumping with excitement "oh wait." Trixike turned and picked up the Toy Luna in a cart "Cadence said I have to put my stuff away before leaving the cell."
"Is that me?" Luna asked, "That's adorable."
"It was a gift!" Trixike said, shoving the toy's in her blankets "everything in here was a gift." She said as she took off her cape "Except for this...I stole this" she added as she folded her cape and put it on top of the mess under her blankets, Luna opened the cell door and allowed Trixike to ride on her back "Now, what kind of animals are we going to be looking at?" Trixike asked "No Dogs tho, I don't like dogs!" she muttered itching her stitches "They don't like me too much."
"I Promise, no Dogs" Luna agreed as the two made their way out of the cell block.
-Meanwhile-
"Interesting" Queen Chrysalis said as her soldiers returned with the two monsters, Palrabtus was in a magical barrier with Changelings rotating every hour to keep it up. and the Mega Flower had been replanted, between the two a tower had been built, inside it was Trixike's cart. "Remind me, what were my orders?"
"your orders, demands, Instruction's even, where to bring back the one know as Trixike." The soldier responded
"And where, my dear Coxa, is she?"
"We have been unable to locate her" The Changling responded
"Yes ma'am, all tracking spell are coming back negative, something is blocking her from us."
"And are you doing anything about it?" Chrysalis asked
"We have 5 groups of Trackers on guard constantly" Coxa the 2nd informed
"All with a different item of her's for reference!" Coxa the 1st added, "If she uses, employes, utilizes even, her magic in any way we will instantly know where the location is located." Chrysalis turned to them
"And what if she is immediately moved?"
"Not to worry your highness" Coxa 2 said happily "We have a squad of 5 changelings spies in every sector, once the trackers have found her, the closet ones will be notified and they will follow her back to where she is being held, then the extraction unit will bring her here!" The two Coxa's stood in attention and Chrysalis smiled
"Good work boys, Wish I had you during the invasion of Canterlot" she sighed "Nice to know my children are finally becoming useful, any new recruits?" She asked
"None ma'am," Coxa 2 informed
"Alright, I want to be informed of her location as soon as she is located" the Coxa twins saluted and she flew off to check on her throne's construction."
-Meanwhile-
"Trixike is using this one!" She declared hugging a Purple Crystal ewe
"Are you sure about this?" Cadence asked Luna as the three watched Trixike hug the ewe.
"Look, I know this is odd, but if she is to trust us, we can't just force her to be how we want, if she is comfortable around monsters than let her make some monsters, with a fair amount of surveillance to make sure things don't get out of hand." Trixike put the ewe on her back, the confused ewe didn't seem to know what was happening as she was carried away.
"Ok Trixike, what are you going to combine it with?" Trixike muttered as she looked around them, suddenly gasped when she saw a Crytal berry bush.
"Perfect!" She screamed running to the bush and pointing at it "Can you removing this from the ground?" She asked.
"Of course," Luna said, plucking the bush out of the ground with ease.
"Ok, something cute, a plant, now Trixike needs some third thing" Trixike looked around the area when she saw it, "hold this for a second?" Trixike asked,
"Of course," Luna said taking the ewe with magic, Trixike turned, crouched and began prowling to a small trash can, with a large leap she jumped into them knocking them over and with a loud yowl she came back with an alley cat in her arms, several scratches on her face
"A Berry Cat ewe?" Shining asked as the black and gray cat bit into Trixike's hand, Luna took the cat as Trixike dropped it and Cadence looked at Trixike's bleeding hand
"Can you take Trixike to a room?" Trixike asked, "It is...unpleasant to watch the fusion processes." Once they were back in the castle and Trixike's hand was cleaned and washed Trixike asked for the removal of her rings.
"You won't try and run right?" Shining asked, "Cause if you do, we're going to have to hunt you down, and you will be so grounded when we catch you!"
"Not to worry!" Trixike said, "My cape is in the cell, and Trixike is not about to leave that behind!" Luna and Cadence bumped hooves
"I told you" Cadence whispered as Trixike's rings where removed, having her magic back she took the ewe, the cat, and the berry bush in her magic and walked into the next room, meanwhile the group of Changelings with Trixike's hat jumped as a window opened above them and they saw the Crystal Empire.
"Inform the Spies and the Coxa twins at once!" The leader said, "We found her!" Two of the trackers ran in different directions to send their message in a good silent area.
Luna, Cadence, and Shinng stood outside the door in silence as a horrible popping sound hit the door
"Starlight said it was disgusting and she really wished she could unsee it," Cadence said, "And I really wish Trixike wouldn't watch it." after a few minutes the disgusting sounds stopped and the three jumped as Trixike screamed in joy
"JOY!!" She screamed and the door flew open, all three of them jumped back in horror as Trixike came out riding her monster, it was a tiny bit bigger than Trixike herself, it had the head of the ewe, the ear's and teeth of the cat, one eye from each, a body that was a mixture of the ewe wool and the bush, it had the cat's front legs and the ewe's back, along with a Cat tail that ended in a bit of wooly bush fluff. but that wasn't what scared them, in fact, the monster was adorable by all rights, it was the fact that they, and the room, where drenched in blood.
"Oh yeah," Trixike said moving her sticky fingers "Did Trixike not mention this part?"
Trixike and her Kitewe bush had been magically cleaned at once and, once Trixike had the rings back on, they where both put in the Cell together, Luna adding a fair sized animal bed for the Kitewe bush. Trixike was scratching the Kitewe behind the ear as she waited for somepony to feed her, once again she heard the sound of the door down the hall open and waited eagerly at the cell for either a familiar face or a surprise from a new face. She ended up getting the later as a set of 5 guards walked over and looked down at her.
"For the fusion of a pony and a Dragon, I was....expecting something bigger if I'm being honest." the 1st one said looking down at Trixike "She's barely bigger than a Foal!"
"Maybe three and a half feet if you add her tail" one said "but it's tail is a solid foot and a half of that"
"are you insulting me?" Trixike asked, "Or complementing me?"
"Oh!" The guard said, "it understands us, shit! Um, we where complementing you on being so travel sized!" the guard said sweating slightly in the hope Trixike would fall for it
"I don't know what that means, but it does sound like a nice thing to be," Trixike said happily "Just another reason why Trixike is the most amazing thing ever."
"Um...yeah" a third one spoke up "Your super amazing, that's why we've been given permission to let you out and take you for a walk...because of your...um..." he looked at the others "...some help," he whispered when they heard an odd sound and turned to the Kitewe bush
"Hush Kite," Trixike said turning to her monster, "These guards are busy complementing Trixike." Trixike turned back the said guards "To be clear her name is Kitewe bush, only I can call her Kite!"
"Oh...oh!" The first guard said getting an idea "Of course, that's why we're here!" the other's looked at him "We're here to take you and your new pet here for a walk to get some exercise!" Trixike looked up at them in silence
"OH!" She squealed "I get to go out again Already!" Trixike ran in a circle "Oh Trixike is truly proving to be the best!" Trixike jumped on top of her Kitewe when she stopped and sighed "Does she have to take her cape off again and put on the rings?" She asked
"Nope, Nade, No Even" the original guard replied, "It's going to be a long walk, but once we get there you can have your hat."
"You found my hat!" she began jumping on the back of the Kitewe "I Can't wait, oh but Mrs.Luna said I have to keep the cape in here! So..." Trixike folded her cape and put it on the bed. "And no rings?"
"Yeah, no rings, a test or something, whatever" The guard held up a key with a skull at the end of it and put it in the lock of the cell, the guards all stepped back as the bars turned red and crumbled into dust along with the key, Trixike blinked as she felt her magic rush back
"Oh Fun, Fun fun fun!!" She said happily as her pet began walking, one of the guards threw a lead over the creatures neck, and after checking to see if it was clear the group moved out. "So where are we going? Did you find any of my other things? Will we be back before dinner? Is anypony coming with...?" Trixike stopped talking when one of the guards put a golden clamp around her muzzle, Trixike attempted to tear it off only for her hands to be covered in the gunk as it began hardening and spreading, in less than a minute Trixike and her Kitewe had been trapped in a large Chunk of Amber
"Thank Crysalis!" The Changelings sighed as the dropped their disguises "Let's move and give her to the queen, we've kept her waiting long enough!" As the 5 levitated their prisoner to a pre-prepared portal Cadence's scream made them all jump, one of the changelings immediately jumped into the portal leaving the others for dead "Move, Go, Get the Buck out even!" Coxa said as they moved in "BuzzWing you are gonna be in so much trouble when I Tell mom!" he added furiously as they closed the portal
-a few minutes later-
Cadence sat in shocked silence as Luna and Shining looked at the mess
"An Anti-Magic Key" Luna muttered angrily "Either Trixike is a lot smart than I thought..."
"No" Shinning confirmed, "If Trixike had an Anti-Magic Key she would have escaped a fair amount of time ago."
"...then that means somepony came in here and set her free."
"GUARDS!!" The other two jumped as Cadance screamed, after a few seconds of silence with no response she nodded "Guards are either slacking off, knocked out, or dead, most likely the first one considering how lazy they are" Cadence horn sparked "I'm about to fire a lot of bucking ponies in the next 5 minutes" Shining and Luna took a few steps back
"I think I hear Flurry crying, I'll just be off!" Shinning said running out of the cell block trying to making his way out of his wife's range of rage
"I'll help!" Luna added, not wanting to have to watch grown stallions cry. Shinning and Luna played the loudest lullaby music they could to keep Flurry heart from hearing the enraged screams from below "shouldn't we go looked for her?" Luna asked
"We have no clues, no leads, and at the current moment in time, no enemies I know of, the best I can think of is one of her old monsters let her out."
"But she left her cape, so she plan's to come back."
"Unless she was taken by an unknown enemy," Shining responded
"You are NOT helping in any way!!" Luna called back, closing her mouth as soon as Flurry looked at her
-Meanwhile-
"Good," Chrysalis said as she looked at her new weapon "Very Good Coxa, You should have tried harder Coxa!"
"Are you talking to one of use or both of use, or..?" on of the Coxa asked in confusion
"Shut up you idiots" Chrysalis responded, "The Non-Changling enhancements have been placed yes?" She asked
"Yes your Highness, the remains of the throne have been reconstructed, it's not as big and the area of effect is smaller, but at the Moment that thing will not be able to use it's magic in or around the cart.
"Good, Place it in the cart, it'll take a few hours for the Amber to soften up, then." Chrysalis took the form of Cadence "Once I've sweet talked her, we will ride to ponyville and I shall have my vengeance on Starlight Glimmer and the rest of the pitiful residents of that sad little town!" Chrysalis laughed for a second "The Buck you waiting for? MOVE HER NOW!!"
"Yes mom, Ma'am, your Highness Even!" One of the Coxa's said motioning his troops to move her into position
"Maybe Trixike will prove more competent of a minion" Chrysalis shook her head "The hell kind of name is Trixike ?" Chrysalis took out a small notebook with the details for her plan and added a small note 'Rename monster to Chrsalis Jr' "Yes, that's a much better name if I do say so myself!"
Author's Note
Kitty Ewe Bush, Kitewe Bush.
Trixike blinked, most of her body was still entrapped in the amber, along with her kitewe. she wasn't able to move her neck, but from the bottom jaw up she was free, she looked around and immediately confirmed she was back in her cart, and after a few failed attempts she also confirmed that once again she was magic free.
"Dammit!" Trixike screamed angrily "What is with everyone and not letting me use my magic!" She demanded when she heard the door open
"Hello" She heard Cadence say
"Oh, thank goodness" She sighed "Trixike requires assistance, your guards have betrayed Trixike's trust!" Cadence walked over in front of Trixike and sat down
"I know, with is why those guards have been...dealt with properly, On the bright side we were able to find your stolen cart, and your monsters" She added kindly, Trixike lit up
"my Mega Flower! And Palrabtus!?" She asked, Cadence opened the cart door and after a second the Mega Fower's roar could be heard. after a second Trixike smiled
"It wants some fish" She translated "and to be removed from the ground, oh it tried to eat you didn't it?" She asked
"Um...yes, it did, I hope you don't mind that I've planted it." Trixike laughed
"It's fine, Trixike had to plant him before, doesn't bother her, just make sure to water it, and fill the water with fish, about 20 fish ever 3 hours and it'll be fine." Chrysalis rolled her eyes and looked over at the drone who was writing down what Trixike was saying, the drone was her least favorite in the hive, he was idiotic, a failer in every way, but he was the only nonreformed changling with legible writing
"Did you get that Launchpad?" She asked
"Yes ma'am I did" he confirmed "I can go get the water and..."
'No, Stay here, and listen, when we're done give the list to Coxa!"
"Um...witch one? the one that says three different words at the beginning of some sentences, or the one with the weird eye, or is there a third..."
"Just give it to A Coxa and shut the buck up!" She said angrily
"Are you yelling at Trixike?" Trixike spoke up, sounding hurt "Cause she doesn't know anyone named Coxa, and..."
"No, No, No!" Cadence said jumping back into her line of sight "I was just telling off a stupid member of my guard, he's writing down everything you say for...um..."
"Ah, proper care instructions" Trixike cut in "Don't touch Palrabtus's eyes, she hates it, if you do accidentally touch them she will shoot thorns in every direction, The Mega Flower need's sunlight along with its water!"
"Anything else?" Launchpad asked, having walked into the cart while writing. Chrysalis turned to him when Trixike added
"I don't suppose there is a way to let Trixike out of this thing?" She asked, without hesitation Launchpad lit his horn and teleported Trixike and the Kitewe out of the block. Trixike blinked and looked back at the Changling while Cadance looked like she was fuming
"Oh don't feel bad" Trixike said happily turning to Cadence "This bug pony thing's magic might be stronger than you and might look cooler, but you tried." ceasing her moment Cadence added
"Oh, of course! Changelings are natural superior, with is why I've entrusted you to a dear friend of mine!" she walked over and patted Trixike's back "Her name is Queen Chrysalis, this is her home, Be kind to her, and trust her every word, she's even kinder and more trustworthy than me!" she thought for a second and added happily "And if your really nice, I'm sure she'll happily take you to ponyville."
"YES!" Trixike squealed "Trigger Horn and The Hat will die!"
"Yes, but you'll have to share! The Queen will kill the horn, and you can have the hat...speaking of the hat..." Cadence lit her horn, and teleported Trixike's hat to her."
"Ah, MY HAT!" She squealed happily as she put it on
"Look Kite!" She said happily, the Kitewe was sleeping on Trixike's bed. the three looked at it in silence and she shrugged "Eh, Kite is more of a pet than a monster, but I'm sure with the proper creatures I can make some fun new friends!" Trixike turned and gave Cadence a hug, one that Chrysalis stood in silence as she accepted it before Trixike turned and shook Launchpad's hoof "It was Very nice to meet you..."
"Launchpad!" He said happily, I look like every other changling so I understand if you can't spot me in a crowd." Trixike looked him up and down
"Have you tried wearing a hat?" She asked, Launchpad opened his mouth, closed it, flipped to the back of his notebook and wrote that idea down as he waved goodbye. Chrysalis waited for him to leave before heading to the door.
"I hope you have a nice stay and Remember."
"Do whatever the Queen asks me to do!" She said happily with a nod. "got it!" with a smile Cadence closed the door and Trixike heard it lock and turned to her Kitewe "Alright, where supper close to gaining trust!" She squealed "Oh, I can't wait to see the look on Cadance's face when the Queen And Trixike take Ponyville in her name!" she jumped on the bed and the Kitewe jumped up and down with her.
-Meanwhile-
"Dammit all" Cadance muttered as she and Luna looked down at the evidence they had found in the area "Ok, so the only evidence we have is the broken remains of this key," She held up the skull end of the key use to destroy Trixike's cell door, "This Amber piece" She added levitating the golden chunk onto the table "And the fact that Trixike's Cape was Neatly folded on her bed."
"What does this tell us?" Luna asked
"That Something opened Trixike's Cell, she neatly folded her cape so she thought they were bringing her back, she took the Kitewe, and from the state of our guards..." The two looked over at 3 guards trapped in a block of amber, Three others and Shining were attempting to rescue them "...we can assume they were trapped in it for transport, but that leaves the biggest question unanswered...Who did it!?" Luna looked back at the guards
"We may not know who, but I do know where that Amber came from"
"Why didn't you say that earlier!?" Cadence looked at the clock "It's time to feed Flurry, I'll be right back." she walked to the door before calling "Get a map and mark where the Amber came from please." she asked as she left, Luna did as she was asked, she got a map and looked over it for a second muttering under her breath as she went
"Where is it, I swear they keep changing things...Ah! The Undiscovered West!" She said happily, "Between the...I have an ocean...I HAVE TWO!" Luna picked up the map "The Buck did that happen, and why wasn't I told!?" Luna shook her head and continued drawing on the map "Let's see...Right here? or was it here?" Luna grumbled over the map when she finally gave up "Alright it's somewhere in this area," Luna said, circling the northern part of the Undiscovered West "I'll just have to go ask Celestia about it." She turned to Shining who was hard at work "Tell Cadence I have to talk to Celestia before we can head out."
"I'll relay the message" Shinng responded as he got on of the guard's ear's free "Alright, time for the delicate part boys," he said as Luna teleported away.
Queen Chrysalis looked at the scene in front of her, several of the beds were broke, one of them had been smashed into a wall and was set ablaze with green fire, with the exception of the three beds in use, she looked down at the sleeping Trixike.
"So...how bad was she?" She asked, turning to watch as one of the nursed put out the fire
"Honestly...it went better than we expected." the nurse responded "The Stitches where removed and we made her sit back and relax in the hive essence for 20 minutes, her colorization has darkened a little, but that should only be temporary, all cuts on the arm have healed as have the scratches on her muzzle, the missing scale has been regrown, her horns have been waxed and buffed, her scales and claw's have been polished and cleaned, we had Click come in, we had to knock her out to allow him access to her mouth,he gave her a full dental treatment, nothing too bad was found, just needed a good brushing, Buzz came in while she was out and administered 9 shot's, 6 for pony diseases that have been spreading lately, and 2 for some dragons ones, and 1 for a Kirin thing that where not completely sure would affect her or not."
"And did you...run the test's I asked for?" Chrysalis asked
"Oh yes! That" She flipped the page and showed Chrysalis a set of notes, Blood samples, and a magically taken X-ray "We have confirmed that the spell that made her was indeed a cheap imitation of the original spell used to make you." Chrysalis nodded
"That explains her memories or lack thereof." She smiled "Any idea which variation?"
"We're not yet sure, but it seems the side effect of this spell was Magical Mimicry." The nurse said looking down at a small number of tests they had run on Trixike before she's been knocked out "Not the camouflage ability that we have, we have also identified that while she has the mind of an 8-year-old now, she should have the mental capacity of an adult by this time next week."
"Hmm. so I don't have long to put my plan into action before she becomes smart enough to realize she's being used?"
"More so, once she's of the correct mental level personality traits of her original two bodies along with memories may begin to resurface." The nurse held up two document records that had been stolen from the hospital in ponyville, and from documented records.
"Heroic, loyal, self-centered, daredevil like behavior..." Chrysalis muttered as she read the notes once she finished she groaned "This is bad, this is really bucking bad, we'll have to move earlier than originally planned." She handed the documents and notes back to the nurse before leaving the Infirmary and, with the use of a spell, called out to all the members of her hive "Meeting in the Throne Room in 5 minutes! Omega Level importances!" she extinguished her horn and immediately heard the sound of buzzing fill the halls as she made her way to her throne.
-meanwhile-
"Alpha squad leader reporting in," A changling disguised as a Pegasus mare said to her companions with the use of a preplaced spell "Is the package in place?" she asked
"Indeed" a Changing disguised as a Griffon responded "The monster is ready to be released" Next to the Griffin sat the monster,
"Good" The Pegasus replied "Begin the injection" The Griffin pulled out a small injection needle full of Orange liquid
"Begining Injection" the Griffin responded, a Changling disguised as a Unicorn forcing the Kitewe to stand still as the needle was forced into its arm and the liquid was injected into its blood. the Kitewe blinked and began foaming at the mouth, it's eye's began glowing orange and, once the Griffin took flight with the unicorn, it was released of its magical restraint and it began banging against the side of the crate,
-meanwhile-
Winocore was walking down the street pulling a cart of Apples, on her back sat Applebloom
"Who's a good girl?" She asked giving Winocore a pat on the head, Winocore barked happily in response "Yes, Yes it's you!" the two where moving apples to the ponyville market for Bigmac to sell, who had left first with his own cart. Winocore stopped and Applebloom jumped when a screech rang through the air, several creatures moved out of the way in panic as the Kitewe ran head first into a stand, the ower jumping out of the way as the Kitewe destroyed his merchandise and his stand, several orange berries popped off its bush-like body and scattered around the ground, they sank into the ground and began growing more orange berry bushes immediately, the bushes dropped their berries and more bushes grew, in a matter of seconds the street was blocked by a rapidly growing bush, The kitewe began running full speed down the street, regrowing it's berries and dropping them off as it ran, Anyone who got in it's way got bitten and scratched and where left on the ground stuck in the bushes, Winocore made an attempt to move only for the kitewe to jump over her and headslam Applebloom to the ground, instantly Winocore's tail whiped around and slapped the Cat into the nearest building, the bushes stopped reproducing as Winocore checked to make sure her master was ok, Applebloom lay the ground with a large lump on her head and a blackeye
"Ow" She muttered hovering her hooves over her face, Winocore gave her a lick on the cheek before turning back to the growling Kitewe whom had pulled itself from the wrecked building, The Cat monster let out a distorted yowl, and Winocore gave it a distorted growl back, the Kitewe pounced at Winocore who opened it's wings and met the cat midair, carrying it up high while the cat bite into her arm's and scratched into her stomach, Winocore snapped on it's tail whipped it with a crack, the monster hung limb before making a second crack and moving again, Winocore whipped it around a few more times before letting go and letting it fall to the ground with a crash, the Kitewe got back up and hissed, then with a loud crack Bigmac slammed its face into the ground, Winocore landed and flopped down on the Kitewe before it could get back up
"Good dog," Big Mac said "Stay" he added before going to his little sister's aid. after a few minutes, Twilight had the Kitewe trapped in a magic bubble and was talking with Applejack and Starlight about the creature. Meanwhile, the three Changling agent's watched from afar
"The Drug seems to have the designed effects," The Pegasus said with a nod "Subject was violent without reason and it's power's where pushed to its maximum potential, target continued the attack until it was unable to do so." The Pegasus nodded as the Unicorn lit his horn "This will please the queen, take us home." In a flash, the three were gone to inform Chrysalis of the effect of their test.
"Good," Chrysalis said as she was told about the overall success of the Orange Liquid "Now join the gathering, we're about to begin." The Three Changlins bowed before flying off to take their place in the mass of changing amassing in her throne room, there where changelings sitting on the floor, and a few buzzing in the air, a couple had stuck themselves to the walls, Launchpad was the odd one out, sitting on the roof for some odd reason. "Launchpad, the wall's not the roof."
"Yes Ma'am" he called back before relocating. Trixike was brought in with the other two changelings from the infirmary, all three of them being put in a protective bubble and being accompanied by a nurse.
"Changling of my Hive!" Chrysalis called out "It is time! Time for me to tell you our invasion plan, Version 3!" She called out, being greeted by a mixture of sincere and half-hearted cheers. "Now I know, I know that our last two invasions have ended...less than well for us!" she began pacing back and forth in front of her throne, witch was big, but less than half the size of the original one "But This time I am sure, that we have an ace in our hole, that will help us ascend to victory!" She motioned to the Nurse with Trixike to move her over, after a second Trixike was standing next to Chrysalis in a bubble "This here is Trixike, She has a very special ability, she can create Large, fierce, and powerful monsters!" Chrysalis began circling Trixike "She is strong, she is durable, and...We both share a common enemy!" The Changelings let out a cheer as she paused for it "And now, thanks to a few tests, we have found a way to direct her monsters into sharing our goal!"
"Really?" Trixike asked jumping up, Chrysalis turned to her and softly tapped her bubble
"Trixike dear, please wait until the end of the speech for questions, Ok?"
"Yes ma'am" Trixike replied sitting back down and looking up at her
"Thank you, now, This orange Liquid is going to be injected into the two monsters we have! Who, as we speak, Are being moved closer to ponyville in preparation to the attack, the main headquarters will be at the Castel of the Two Sisters, which is being provided to use once again by Trixike here." The Changlings and Trixike cheered at this news. "Now, Everyone form up and find your commanding officer, they will be taking you to the castle, I will meet you there this time tomorrow!" the Changelings cheered once more before the mob broke apart, attempting to report to their superiors. Chrysalis smiled as she watched, turning away only to look at Trixike as she tapped on her bubble "And you may now speak"
"I don't have a commanding officer," she said simply
"I am your commanding officer, and you're coming with me on a special mission," She said with a smile taking Trixike's bubble in her magic, you and I are going to go out to make a few new friends ."
"When you say make friends..."
"I mean we're going hunting for some exotic animals, yes." She answered with a smile, Trixike began bouncing inside the bubble
"Yay!"
-Meanwhile-
"What's up with it?" Applejack asked as Starlight and Twilight looked at the Kitewe, it had been strapped down and was freaking the math out. It had a lump on the back of its head after it's incident with Bigmac, Twilight was looking at its eye's while Starlight took a blood sample.
"It's twitching, foaming at the mouth, and it's not focusing on anything at all" Twilight replied as she watched it's eye's rapidly dart around the room. "It's defiantly on something, but we'll have to wait for the tests to come back."
"And that will take a good 20 minutes" Starlight added taking the blood filled injection needle out of its arm. "And even then I could just be this way, nopony has actually had a solid interaction with it, and Trixike's behavior tends to be unstable, so it could just be that this is just how it acts, But due to its frothing at the mouth I have a feeling something was or still is being done to it." as she said this Starlight put the blood in a vial and passed it to Twilight, who stopped looking in its eye
"I'll go get this checkout, you two make sure this thing doesn't make a run for it," she called back as she left the room, Applejack moved next to its head and frowned
"Your lucky Mac got to you before I could," She said angrily
"Applejack, I understand that it attacked your sister, but please wait until we've cleared if it was on its own accord or not. If this is just how it is then be pissed at it all you want if somepony did something to it..."
"Then I'll be pissed at them instead" Applejack responded angrily.
-Meanwhile-
"I can see my castle from here" Trixike noted seeing said castle in the distance as she and Chrysalis teleported into the forest, Trixike squinted at it for a second before something more important was realized "I Can feel my magic again!" Trixike cheered with a flap of her wings, "Oh Joy, Trixike is All-Powerful once more!" Trixike lit her horn and blasted her bubble and a few trees into dust "Ah...I needed that" She sighed a she flew into the air and did a small loop before shaking her head "No, it's Serious Trixike time!" She said taking a breath and turned back to Chrysalis, who had been waiting patiently to give Trixike a moment "Ok, so Trixike is now sure that no matter what she makes it will turn on her, so Trixike must find an obedient creature and another obedient Creature." Chrysalis smiled and gave Trixike a pat on the head, Trixike held on to her hat as she giggled,
"Good plan, but I have a better plan" Chrysalis said with a glint in her eye "I know a spell that's very good at making other things obedient, it can be broken by things like love, or emotional connections, but your creature don't have any of those when they're created, so you make them and I make them obedient." Trixike gasped
"That fixes the only problem I am having with my Monsters!"
"And once more" Chrysalis continued "I have a way to make any disobedient monster go bat shit crazy and run wild into ponyville." Trixike rubbed her chin for a second
"Sounds good, but Trixike need's her Mega flower first" Chrysalis raised an eyebrow before Trixike smiled
"Trixike is going to show that flower just how replaceable it really is" Chrysalis nodded
"Very well, I'll inform my subject, give me a moment please, and don't move from this spot." Chrysalis turned, then took Trixike's hat "Just some insurance," She said placing the hat on her back before teleporting away
"I see it's not her first rodeo," Trixike said with a shrug, she was about to lay down when a growling sound hit her ears, she turned and found a very familiar sight
"Why if it isn't my old enemy, Timberwolf pack," Trixike said with a smile as the creatures surrounded her, some of them still baring the burns of their first encounter. "What? Wanna get burned to ash again?" She asked with a smile "Cause Trixike is more than happy to oblige." The Wolves all blinked and Trixike watched as they all seemed to be sucked up by an invisible wind and forced into a ball "What on..." Trixie managed to say before the mega Wolf formed and yowled at her. Trixike's jaw dropped and her eyes lit up
"Ohhhh" She laughed "I'll take it!" She decided as she engulfed the mega wolf in her magic, the wolf had obviously seen this going a different way and started howling and yowling at her. Trixike smiled when the ground at her feet shook, she blinked and looked around, once again the ground shook and she was engulfed in a shadow, the Mega wolf started whining and attempting to run backward, Trixike turned to look behind her, blinked, then looked up into the eye's of the Ursa Major looking down at her, "Yeeeeeeeeeeees." She cheered in joy as, with no hesitation, she threw the wolf at the Ursa and blasted them with her combination spell. "I LOVE THIS FOREST!"
Author's Note
man is this chapter late
Howling rang through the forest, everyone could hear it, from The Castel of the two sisters to Twilight's Castle in ponyville.
"What in the name of Creation?" Chrysalis asked, having just informed her hive of the new plans for the Mega Flower, she started off into the forest before shaking her head "Relax, this is a wild forest, it's full of monsters, just let them howl." Chrysalis went of her way to check if P.T.M.C had been prepped for its descent into madness.
"yes yes!" Trixike giggled like mad as she watched her new monster take shape. at first, it just looked like an even bigger mega wolf, then the star fur began growing on it, after a minute the Monster sat down in confusion as it gained its sentience. it looked around before Trixike landed on its nose, She was about to give it her normal greeting when memories flashed in her mind, she shook her head and scratched her head as she looked at the monster. "No, every time I'm nice they turn on me, so It's better if-" Trixike flew above the monster and took a deep breath. "Hey!" She screamed at it, making it flinch a little as her eye's and horns began glowing red, Trixike flew down to it and stuck her claws into the skin of its nose, the monster began whining and attempted to bat her off only for Trixie's magic to force it to stand at attention. "You understand me!?" She demanded, "Howl if you do." The monster took a deep breath and it howls echoed across the forest.
"What the hell is that?" Applejack demanded as she left the Kittewe and looked out a window, Starlight joined her with a frown.
"Trouble" She responded
"Alright, listen up," Trixike stared into her new monsters eyes "You are mine! Got it! You turn on me, you disobey me, you talk shit about me, You so much as look at me wrong, and Trixike will fucking Vaporise you!" To make her point Trixike shot the disassembling spell at some tree's and the Monster watched as the three's where torn apart and turn to dust from the outside in, The Monster trembled at this as Trixike continued "Now sit!" The monster imediatly sat down. "Good, now let see You where a Timber wolf and an Ursa Major so...your name is TrsaWajor now!" Trixike rubbed her chest "Truely Trixike is the best at name giving." Trixike shot the Trsa a death glare and it barked in agreement. "Good, now let's go find some more monster ingredients, Trixike Dema-."Suddenly Chrysalis flashed in Trixie's mind and she started smiling "No-Your Queen Demands it!" She pointed at herself "I am Queen Trixike Obey me or die!" The Trsa let out its bark before leaning over and sniffing around on the ground with a bark it began lumbering through the forest, knocking down tree's as it moved. Trixike smiled before shaking her head.
"Wait no, I've gotten caught up in the moment, Take your Queen to her castle!" She corrected, pointing to the Castel of the two sisters. as they moved on Trixike patted the Trsa "And don't worry, I'll be sweet and loving to you so long as you obey my every command without question, turn on me and I'll fucking end you." Trixike gave a sweet smiled to her Trsa before moving to the top of it's head as they moved, after about a minute Trixike made the Trsa halt and flew over her tiny moat, landing in the camp where a small number of Changelings where attempting to contain her pets, it only took Chrysalis a moment to notice Trixike was back.
"Well look who's eager." She said as she walked over to Trixike "Your suppose to be waiting for me." She said calmly as she watched Trixike rocked back and forth in glee.
"Trixike brought new Monster!" she said excitedly before taking a deep breath and calling out in a voice full anger. "Here! Now!" Chrysalis, her hive, and the other two monsters in the yard all watched in silence as the TrsaWajor moved over the moat and looked over the wall. "Say hello. "You can come over the wall, just don't squish anything or any of them." Chrysalis watched as the huge creature only just managed to bring its front half over the wall, bring some of the walls down as it did so. "Ok, that one was on me." Trixike said simply as she looked at the busted wall "Anyway, ta-da!" She pointed to the monster "My TrsaWajor!" Chrysalis took a deep breath.
"Always with the names." She muttered before patting Trixike on the back "While I love you passion, your monsters have a history of obeying you, and betraying you at first chance."
"Trixike has threatened its life." She shook her tiny fist's at it "Obey me for I am your Queen!" Chrysalis looked down at Trixike like she was a child
"That's adorable." Chrysalis said with a chuckle "But I'm thinking something more like this." Chrysalis cleared her throat as Palrabtus was dragged behind her, she turned to the monster with her eye's closed before charging up the spell, after a moment she opened her eye's, which were now glowing with rings of Yellow and Red as she said in a distorted echoing voice. "Sell your Soul to the Sky! and Fall to the power of the unblinking eye!" a Beam shot from her eye's and into Palrabtuses, the monster went from trying to kill her captors to calming down and staring blankly with Yellow and Red Ringed eyes. "An old Hypnosis spell, only last 14 hours, so long as you space the timing right, and don't sleep in it's pretty usefu..." Chrysalis was cut off by the yowling of the Mega Flower, Trixike had forcefully made it look at it, breaking its steam in the process, the steam was already fixing itself as Trixike channeled magic in her horn.
"Fell Grateful." She said to it, "The Kittewe and Winicore's fate will face Trixie's full rath, as shall you if you ever disobey me after this!" Trixike closed her eyes for a moment, before reopening them, one of her eyes had the Yellow and Red rings, the other one was Blue and Green, similar to Chrysalis Trixike's voice was Distorted and echoed as she said the spell "Sell your Soul to the Sky! and Fall to the power of the unblinking eye!" Trixike's shot eye's beams at the Mega Flower, with split into multiple beams and began circling the Flower Spider as they looked for each of its eyes, after a moment the Flower froze in place. Trixike smiled "Pick me up." she demanded, the Flower's Tounge shot out, a Large Golden Flower sprouted at the end to allow Trixie a comfortable place to sit. Trixike climbed aboard and cheered and she removed the Flower from its spot in the ground. Chrysalis watched for a moment before making the Mega Crab hold out its arm, a Changing drone went to work attaching a Bracelet around it, the Bracelet had several vials of the Orange Liquid in it. the Bracelet itself would inject the Carb with it once it showed signs of high aggression, which it was guaranteed to do once it was un Hypnotised.
"What about this one?" Launchpad asked holding up a discarded bracelet "It was for the Flower but you said not to..." Launchpad was interrupted when The Flower lurched over, lowering Trixike down next to Launchpad.
"Oh, I don't know what that is but I like the way it glows!." She said as she reached for it. "that paired with my Hat and Cape and I'll look cool as shit!" Launchpad pulled back.
"What!? Didn't you hear the Queen when she explained what this stuff..." Launchpad was interrupted by Queen Chrysalis who walked past, she took the Bracelet and pulled out Trixike's hat, she placed the hat on and clipped the Bracelet turned Neckless around her neck.
"OH! I was gonna use it as a Belt, but I can rock it like this till Cadance gives me my cape back." Trixike had the MegaFlower carry her to the TrsaWajor to show it what would happen should it disobey her, Chrysalis smiled
"We only have a week till she's mostly sane again, so now we'll have some extra fighting power when Cadance 'betray's' us." Chrysalis smiled as Trixike had some changlings gather around her.
"You! go gather small animal! Your three get some big ones! You go get some nice looking flowers! You 5 go pull some tree's from the ground, I need their roots and leaves, and you, I want you to look into getting some Alligators, as for the rest of you fix this place up, make it a base, make this Moat an actual treat!"
"Do as she says!" Chrysalis called out as she noticed some of her followers questioning why they were obeying Trixike "She makes the monster and she lent us this castle, sprucing it up a small bit is just our way of saying thank you." Chrysalis smiled as added quieted "And my way of keeping her under my hooves."

This chapter is late as shit too.
Trixike laughed madly as she looked at the pile of trees before her.
"Oh yes," She cheered as the Changelings covered the pile in Flowers and finally a rain of Spiders fell over it.
"So what is this for?" Chrysalis asked as she watched the Spiders roam over their landing place.
"Tree plus Flower plus Spider equals Mega Flower!" Trixike cheered as she pointed to the Creature that was basically her living throne. "One of each made this little shit, When Trixike combines all of these it shall be an ultimate monster," She cleared her throat "If Trixike combines that," She amended "Is back up plan, just in case of sudden betrayal," Chrysalis smiled.
"Back up plan, good to have," She turned back to her hive and began issuing orders, some of the Changelings had returned with a fair number of scratches and burns and before Chrysalis stood two caged beats, a Cragodile and a Chimera.
"Release us!" The Goat head demanded angrily, the Saber Tooth Tiger head was knocked out and the Snake head had been placated with food.
"We don't have any cheese," One of the guards said to Chrysalis "And it refuses to eat Bettle Boar meat,"
"Knock it out," Chrysalis suggested before the head blasted fire at them and Trixike took notice of it.
"Oh," Trixike cheered as she made her way to the imprisoned creatures, the Cragodile had taken the Bettle boar bait and was sitting in wait. "This is not an Aligator but Trixike will take it!" She cheered before turning to the goat and getting blasted with its fire, Trixike smiled at it and it stared down at her in confusion as the tiny creature stared up at her in awe.
"It has two heads and can breathe fire!" at that remake the snake rose up and wiggled so Trixike could see it. "Three!" Trixike cheered "It is the most amazing thing that Trixike has ever seen!"
"Your Darn right!" the goat said angrily "And this amazing thing wants food,"
"What kind of food?" Trixike asked sweetly.
"Pony meat!" The Goat said dramatically "or Ricotta," She added "Ricotta works too,"
"Trixike demands Ricotta!" Trixike shouted loudly "Or Pony Meat, whichever is easier to find," Chrysalis sighed and turned to the guard she had just been talking to.
"Go into Ponyville and get some Ricotta," She said simply before going to Trixike.
"So Trixike, will these to suffice?" Trixike patted her chin.
"No, Trixike has already made a Monster monster hybrid," She decided "It is time for a Monster, Monster, Plant hybrid, Like Paulrabtus!" Said giant crab was standing to the side of the clearing, the Mega Flower had wrapped it's vined around its shoulder and was perched on top of the Crab. Chrysalis and Trixike having forced the duo to dance for their amusement," Paulrabtus was doing a side step while the Mega flower shook back and forth, not the most complex dance but it was the best the could do.
"Trixike demands a plant," She thought for a moment and added, "An exotic plant she hadn't seen yet!" She added before turning back to the Chimera, who was staring at the TrsaWajor in silence.
"What the heck is that?" She demanded. "It's like a super predator,"
"Oh don't worry," Trixike cooed sweetly to the goat head "When I'm done you'll be a super predator to!" The Goat looked at Trixike for a moment before smiling.
"Go on,"
Starlight and Applejack looked at the Kitewe, the orange was gone from its eye and it was shaking like crazy as it lay stapped to the table, it gave a scared meow before Twilight thrust open the doors and made it's shaking worse.
"It was drugged," Twilight declared.
"Yea we figured that out like 10 minutes ago," Starlight replied pointing to the Kitewe, who let out a pitiful mew in agreement.
"Well good for you," Twilight replied "More importantly I discovered what it was drugged with," Twilight proudly produced a vial of Orange liquid and the other two stared at her in silence.
"Twilight I don't know what that is," Applejack said simply.
"It's a very rare toxin," Twilight said simply "when injected into something it goes bat shit crazy and attacks anything and everything, but most importantly," Twilight shook the vial slightly as she added the final information on it "It makes creatures natural magical prowess go wild, That's why our little friend is so badly shaken, the toxin doesn't wear off till the Creature exhausts its natural magic supply," Twilight grinned at her friends.
"And?" Starlight asked in confusion.
"And do you know who told me all this?" She asked as a figure made their way into the room, Twilight moved aside and Thorax stood before the two of them,"
"Thorax!" Starlight said in shock "You're the one who told Twilight? how do you of all creatures know about a rare Toxin?" Thorax coughed and rubbed his hoof on the floor.
"Well...you see.." Thorax groaned before coming clean "My mother has been trying to extract this very same toxin from an ancient long-extinct creature that was...preserved in ancient amber," as he spoke the two realized what he was saying.
"You mean..." Applejack trailed off as Cadance and Shinning armor entered the room.
"Queen Chrysalis is about to invade," Cadance said simply.
"What the hell is that?" Chrysalis demanded as the last group of her hive sent out returned with the most unusual of prizes," One of the Coxa twins ran to his mother and pointed to their prize with a large grin on his face.
"Mother I present, the Plundervine!" Chrysalises eyes went wide as she looked back up at the black throned vined trying to whip at the Changelings pulling it along in its cage.
"I thought these were extinct," She muttered as the pulled in next to the Crocodile cage, Trixike was still talking to the Chimera, all the heads had gotten in on the conversation.
"Will it hurt?" The Snake asked.
"It might for a moment," Trixike replied "but I asked around and none of the other creatures even remember it happening so I dunno,"
"Can I be separated from these two?" The Sabertooth Tiger head asked.
"I don't think it works that way," Trixike replied, "There's even a chance you and the Goat might end up as one head."
"I'm willing to take that risk," The goat replied as she eyed the Cragodile lazying about in its cage, "Oh just image me with rock horns, or rock-like skin, or both!"
"Trixike the plant has arrived," Chrysalis called, Trixike rushed to it as the Chimera discussed what it might end up looking like. Trixike looked up at the plant as it violently trashed at her, a magical barrier having been put around its cage to prevent it from going at the Cragodile.
"What's this?" Trixike asked as she took a step back from the vines.
"Plunder Vines," Chrysalis said with a smile "they were made by Discord a few long, long time ago, this may very well be the last of it's kind, Coxa found it deep in the forest, hiding from the light of Harmony,"
"Wha that?" Trixike asked looking to Chrysalis.
"Something that could easily defeat all of us, a power used by a group of six ponies, one of which would be your Hat," Trixike let out a gasp.
"The evil hat and Trigger horn have no morals," Trixike looked up at the vine "You just wanted to cause some destruction didn't you?" Trixike asked in a sweet voice, Chrysalis jaw actual dropped as Trixike started petting the vine, and it just let her do so. Trixike took a step back and looked at the caged creatures, after a moment she smiled and ran to the pile of trees spiders and flowers and took a very nice pink flower out of the pile before rushing back to the cages.
"Ready?" She asked.
"Ready!" The Chimera called as the three caged where open and the three were forced together along with Trixike's chosen flower before being blasted by Trixike who immediately turned around.
"Everybody run, This will get gross!" The Mega Flower and Palrabtus moved out and the Changelings save Chrysalis moved into the castle.
"gross how?" Chrysalis asked.
"Well it might explode a few times," Trixike said simply as the Skeleton of the Chimera took form, tho it was missing its snake tail at first. Organs and muscles began forming around the front of the skeleton, then Vines and rocks took over, the Front half was mostly rock, tho some fur did make it threw, Vines started growing, but just as the front half started screaming the back half decided something was to wrong to fix and it's started bubbling up, the flesh of the Goat head slid of its skull while the Saber Tooth tiger started swelling, suddenly the entire thing popped like a balloon and Chrysalis only just managed to throw up a shield to cover her as she stood slack-jawed at what she had just witnessed.
"I don't need to see anymore," She decided as she did her best not to puke, she quickly teleported into the castle and forced all her children away from the windows and doors before looking back and seeing Trixike just waiting in silence, covered in blood, bone, and bits of flesh.
"I wonder what it'll be like," She muttered as it began reforming, this time the Skeletal system stopped a little ways past the ribs and instead of bones vines formed in its place, this time the Snake and the flower made an appearance, the Vines formed into a tail and them a flower bloomed at its end before the Snake protruded from its petals made of the black vines. the back having solved it's problem the front end formed, the Sabertooth Tiger and Goat heads both had one of the Cragodiles eyes, from the elbow joints of the Tiger legs two large thorns formed, and along it's back the Cragodiles spines formed. it's entire back half was made of the Vines, which formed into the shape of the goat's legs. After a moment it stopped screaming and blinked, the heads looking around, the Snake was now twice as long and as suck easily looked into the eyes of the goat. Trixike hoped forward and gave it the customary greeting.
"Nyeh!" She cheered, the creature looked at Trixike for a moment before all three heads repeated her.
"Nyeh!" They responded, the words empty for them. Trixike danced in place before declaring
"I Dub you the Chimagodines!"

Some Pronunciations
The Two Armies
"This is not a drill," Twilight called in a magically magnified voice as the residents of Ponyville rushed to the castle in droves "Grab what you can and hurry to the castle, A portal to the Crystal Empire has been opened, Exacuate, an attack is imminent!" Twilight took a breath "I repeat, This is not a drill!" as Twilight continued calling out the warning to evacuate Starlight and Applejack were sitting in the Cutie map room with their special guest Thorax. The rest of the main 6 were helping in the evacuation. The two were a little tense as they told Thorax the story, he was far more relaxed, tho understandably not in the best mood.
"-and then Cadance took her to the Empire and that's the last time we saw Trixike," Thorax scratched his chin.
"So it's a she?"
"I dunno," Applejack replied without hesitation "I wasn't willing to fact check it,"
"Fair," Thorax replied, "it was already accusing you of trying to kill it, so having it scream that you tried to sexual assault it-"
"Thorax please," Starlight begged as she cut him off "We need to focus, Chrysalis has Trixike, Trixike can make an endless army of monsters with just a few plants and insects," Starlight pointed out the window "And they are without a doubt in the Castle of the two sisters, and just to make it worse we can't go to them because all Trixike needs is one little bug to fly by and she can make a mega monster just with the surrounding trees," Starlight rubbed the bridge of her nose. "And we can't talk her down because Chrysalis almost certainly turned into Cadance, so Cadance, Shining Armor, Luna, and Fluttershy can't be involved if we want the reformation process we started to get going again," Before she could keep going Applejack stopped her.
"Starlight your panicking and rambling again," She turned back to Thorax "So you heard the story, you know what she can do and you know what Chrysalis would do and say, do you understand your part of the plan?"
"Yes," Thorax said "And It is terrible if what you told me is true the second I do this she will try and kill me, then every single other thing she sees, and I'm almost certain if it does work Chrysalis will inject them, her, it with the toxin, and I don't wanna be the focus of its anger when it goes from crazy to mega super lord crazy,"
"We just have to detain Chrysalis before you-" The Door to the Cutie map room swung open and Twilight made her way in, with her was Rainbow Dash and Discord.
"Alright," Twilight said as she made her way to her throne "Rarity is staying in the empire to keep an eye of the CMC, Fluttershy is currently leading every one of her Animal friends threw the portal, and Pinkie is trying to keep morale high with an evacuation party," Discord Took Fluttershys seat and Rainbow took her's, Thorax was sitting in Pinkies and Starlight in Rarities.
"My, aren't we an interesting bunch," Rainbow said with a smile.
"Alright, Discord your with Thorax, stay invisible and when the time comes, teleport him and you the fuck away from Trixike, Starlight you and Applejack are to go after Trixike, keep her attention while I go after Chrysalis, once shes down Thorax you do your best to make Trixike blow a gasket, from there we wait till she runs her batteries dry, Ponyville will experience heavy damage but this way we take two threats down at once, any questions?"
"Yeah," Thorax said with a raised hoof "Can we come up with a less idiotic plan?"
"By all means, Thorax, do you have a better idea?"
"No," Thorax replied, having been trying to think of one "But come on, you have to admit that having me-" a Loud Caterwail cut Thorax off and taking this as his cue Discord turned both himself and Thorax invisible.
"Oh this is weird," Thorax could be heard saying as the rest of the table go up and made a run for the Castle doors.
"Why isn't Celestia here?" Applejack demanded to look back to Twilight.
"The Evacuation sent both the evacuees and most of the Crystal empire into somewhat of a panic, she's having a hell of a time trying to help Cadance both calm the empire, and stop the citizens of Ponyville from rushing back here and trying to help defend their homes," Twilight blasted the doors open with magic and the 4 slid to a halt at the top of the castle steps, Unreformed Changelings where surrounding the town, and at the forest edge they saw Palrabtus with what they figured was Chrysalis, the distance made it somewhat impossible to accurately tell but it was a fair guess.
"Princess Twilight Sparkle," Chrysalis said with a smile, she was using the same Voice Magnification spell she had heard her using as they had started the advance "I'm honestly rather honored, you empty you town just so me and my children, my loyal children, can have a nice peace full place to live," She smiled "And you even brought me my least favorite creature, hello Starlight Glimmer," Starlight did her best to stare down the Changling Queen before she added "And judging from your attire, you must be The Hat, Trixike is very excited to see you,"
"Oh enough of this," Twilight grumbled in irritation before teleporting the 4 to the edge of Ponyville so they could actually talk back. "Listen up Chrysalis, you, your army of Changling and Stupidly named monsters, And Trixike all surrender now," She expected some witty comeback, instead she got an eye roll.
"Stupid doesn't even begin to cover their names," She said bluntly before adding "And do you really expect me to submit to 4 ponies when I literally have Two Armies?"
"Not that much of an army," Rainbow shot back "I mean yeah you got a lot of guys up there," She looked at the swarm of Changling buzzing overhead before pointing to Palrabtus, "But I count one Crab, and I'm sure that Flower thing is back, but unless you've done some serious work I doubt-" Chrysalis smiled and willed Palrabtus to start clicking her pinchers like crazy, suddenly a huge section of the forest behind Chrysalis was swiped away, The TrsaWajor stood proud in the clearing it had made, as it moved forward the Chimagodines Rushed between its legs and came to a stop next to Chrysalis. The TrsaWajor came to a stop just as the Mega Flower came into view with Trixike riding atop it with a grin on her face.
"Oh Cadance is gonna be so proud of me when I bring her your corpse!" Rainbow opened her mouth and Chrysalis smiled when Twilight used magic to shut her friend's mouth and said in a rather convincing voice.
"Cadance, the Evil Alicorn that stole you before we could properly punish you?"
"Hu," Chrysalis said as she looked at Twilight's smile "Alright I give you that one, good thing the only thing hanging on that was the backup plane, Attack!" Rainbow took to the air and began a somewhat one-sided battle with the Changling forces. Twilight rushed Chrysalis and Palrabtus while the rest of the monsters began running to Starlight and Applejack, who ran back into two and split up, Applejack stuck to the main street while Starlight when down one an alleyway, Trike and the Mega Flower followed Starlight, The Chimagodines Went after Applejack, and the TrsaWajor took one step inside the town and got stuck in a house, it then began attacking every building close to it, leading it on a path of random destruction. Applejack was running as fast as she could from the Chimangodines, the Goat head breathing a torrent of fire at her as she ran.
"Get the hat!" The Sabertooth Tiger head said to the Snake vine Tail, the Snake lashed out, almost reaching Applejack who kicked it into high gear as she ran.
"Great, like you three, weren't bad enough before," She called back to it.
"Have me met?" The Sabertooth asked in confusion.
"Yeah, I kicked your ass and left you stuck in a tree!" Applejack took a sharp turn and the Chimangodines rushed onward as it tried to stop, Applejack reached into her saddlebag and groaned in realization.
" I took all Chimera gear out and replaced it with first aid junk," She said angrily as she pulled a roll of Bandages out from where her flute had been "shit," she said as she ran back into view and saw that the Chimangodines had slid to a stop and it's heads where arguing.
"Where did the hat go?" The Tiger demanded.
"I turned," The Goat said to its sister.
"Come on, the faster we catch it the faster we find out what Ricotta is, Queen Trixike said we like it,"
"Queen?" Applejack demanded getting their attention "Dammit all like she wasn't full of it already,"
"She's talking bad about Queen Trixike," The Tiger said angrily.
"Get her!" The Goat agreed as they charged at her again, Applejack waited till they where close then ducked back into the Alley and waited a second before walking back, the Chimagodiens began slowing down and she shook her head.
"It may not be the brightest thing to fight," She said as she began running towards the market, "But I am,"
Twilight was having a small problem, Chrysalis wasn't all that troubling to fight, but Palrabtus was giving the Queen an edge in the fight and forcing Twilight to doge out of the way of Giant Cactus needled, it only got worse when TrsaWajor started getting closer to them, it's random destruction leading it in their direction.
"I'm gonna fucking kill Discord for helping Trixike make this dam crab!" Twilight said angrily as she flew around Palrabtus, dodging both needles and magical blasts, she fired a blast and the crab held up its claw in front of Chrysalis and tanked it.
"Alright, if I want to take you down, I need to take the Crab down first," Twilight changed gears and flew at the crab, landing underneath it before blasting its underbelly, Palrabtus was sent flying and Chrysalis took to the sky just in time for Rainbow Dash to tackle her and slam her into the ground, the two bounced upon landing and Twilight rushed to them.
"Sent your loyal children running with ease," She said, "And took your ass down in one hit, not really your day is it?"
"Oh screw off, none of us have eaten in weeks, of course, you kicked our asses, that's why I brought Trixike,"
"Yeah, yeah, come on Twilight lets-" Rainbow was cut off as two different things happened, The TrsaWajor made it to their location and saw Chrysalis tied up, and Palrabtus returned, her eyes glowing Orange and foaming at the mouth as she constantly shot thorns out in every location, the two monsters both let out a yowl, Palrabtus running to Twilight, and the TrsaWajor running to Chrysalises aid. "-Twilight if I die tell the others it was because of stupidity not because I was injured,"
Applejack arrived at the Market place, the Chimangodines still chasing after her in hot pursuit, Applejack took cover and it slowed to a walk, upon arriving where she had hidden from view they found she was gone.
"Queen Trixike was right, The Hat is troublesome," The Goat muttered, all three heads began looking around in different directions for their quarry. As they looked around Applejack did her best to keep quiet, having ducked into the booth they were now standing in front off, she almost yelled out in shock when Discord materialized next to her. Seeing the problem he held up his Lion paw, now covered in an oven mitt and gave a muffled snap, a fair way away from them something crashed at the Chimangodines rushed to the noise.
"Need a hand?" he asked.
"you're supposed to be with Thorax," She shot back.
"Yes I am still with Thorax, one of the perks of being a god, I can multitask," He looked over at the Chimangodines, who was tearing a booth to pieces in search of Applejack. he had sparkled in his eyes when he saw the Snake tail.
"Is that one of my Plunder vines," he asked crying a little "Look at how Chaotic it is, oh Applejack, don't tell Fluttershy I said this but I'm so happy Trixike exists, oh I just wanna put her on a leash and take her home with me," as Discord admired the Chimangodines another him materialized next to Applejack.
"Don't mind that sap, how are we taking this creep down?" Applejack and the second Discord looked over to counter edge and she pointed to a booth that was two away from the Chimangodines, It had a few Kinds of cheese on display, tho it had been mostly emptied by its owner just like most of the other booths had when the Evacuation order had started.
"I need to get to that booth, can you distract the-" Both of the Discords disappeared and appeared on either side of the Chimandodines, making it jump back in surprise, they where both Dressed as matching suits.
"Ah hello, Ma'ams," One of the Discords greeted "how might we help you?" The Chimangodines looked at him suspiciously before the Snake asked politely.
"We're looking for the Hat so we can crush her, have you seen her?"
"Oh my, you are just the cutest thing," One of the Discords said as a third Discord appeared in a booth next to them.
"Hat you say, what kind of hat?" He snapped his fingers and the booth was covered outside and in with hats, "Chef hat, Deliver Colt hat, Top Hat?" The Creatures looked at the hats before talking with each other.
"What color was The Hats Hat?" The Goat asked.
"I think it was brown?" The Snake replied
"No, it was blue," The Tiger said confidently "with Stars on it!"
"That's not Hat's hat, that's Queen's hat," The Goat shot back "Hat's hat was smaller," As this was going on Applejack had made it to the Cheese stand and found what she was looking for, she rummaged in her bag, pulled out a Vial and poured it over it before jumping out and whistling for their attention.
"That's Hat!" The Chimangodines called out.
"Well happy I could help," The Three Discords said in unison before disappearing. The Three were about to charge her when she held up her prize.
"I present to you, Ricotta!" She tore it into chunks and tossed it masterfully as the Goats head, the second it entered her mouth her eyes sparkled as she started chewing, Applejack tossed the rest and the Tiger caught it.
"Hey," The snake complained as the two chewed "I wanna try it," The Goat looked back to respond when it eyes suddenly clouded over, followed by the Tiger, after a second the two heads slumped over and their body dropped to the ground as they fell asleep and Applejack laughed.
"Littel known fact," She said as she pulled out an empty bottle "Cough Syrup knocked Cragodiles right out," She smiled when the Snake hissed at her. "Oh give it up, what are you gonna-" Suddenly the entire back end of the Chimangodines turned into a whirling storm of Vines, Applejack took a step back as it formed into a giant version of the Snake, who dragged her unconscious sisters behind her with ease as she slithered to Applejack. "That is just plain not fair," Applejack said as the Giant Snake loomed above her.
"You know what else isn't fair," The Snake asked as it reared it's head back "Not giving me any Ricotta!" The Snake Struck and Applejack jumped to the side and ran back to where she had come from, The Snake hissed at her and followed after her, destroying most of the Booths as she did so.
"I didn't even give them actual Riccota!" Applejack yelled back "It was Gorgonzola, And it was drugged!"
"I Don't care I wanted to try some!" The Snake yelled back.
Starlight ran, she didn't have to try to hard to get away from Trixike as she was having some serious problems controlling the Mega Flower, which kept tripping over barrels and boxes. Every time it fell Trixike was sent flying, she'd then run back, wait for the Mega Flower to get back up, saddle back up and continue the chase. The only reason Starlight hadn't already defeated her or ditched her was because she was sticking to Twilight's plan. As she ran around Thorax and Discord watched from above.
"Well Applejacks situation is worse now," Discord comment "Tho now the Goat can't breathe fire at her, Chrysalis has been chained but now Palrabtus and TrsaWajor are attacking both them and each other,"
"TrsaWajor?" Thorax asked as Starlight continued leading Trixike in a circle.
"Timber Wolf, Ursa Major," Discord said "It's adorable, but back to business it's time to set plan 'this is totally gonna fail' into motion,"
"For the record," Thorax said as Discord wrapped him up in golden rope "This was Twilight's idea," Thorax transformed and Discord made his presence known to both Trixike and Starlight.
"Starlight, We caught Chrysalis," He called shaking Thorax disguised as Chrysalis.
"Mega Flower attack the Discord!" Trixike demanded, she was instantly dropped to the ground as the Flower climbed up a wall, Discord tossed 'Chrysalis' to Starlight and ran out of sight of Trixike, as soon as the Mega Flower made it to him he snapped and it was frozen in place.
"Sorry but I have to see this mess," he said as he turned invisible and watched as Trixike stood her ground with Starlight holding 'Chrysalis' up before her.
"You ok?" Trixike asked.
"Um...yes," Thorax replied, not sure how Chrysalis talked or treated Trixike. "Pretty ok save the tied up part," Starlight inwardly groaned at the plan before saying her line.
"You see Trixike this is...magic truth-telling rope," Saying it aloud it sounded even dumber than when Twilight had come up with the plan. "whoever is wrapped up in it if forced to answer any question you ask them honestly," Trixike squinted at Chrysalis before calling out.
"What do you think of my monster names?" Thorax thought back to the Name TrsaWajor and answered honestly.
"They're pretty fucking stupid," Trixike let out a gasp.
"Oh no, it actually works! Don't worry Trixike forgives you, she overheard you complaining about them a few times," She puffed out her chest "But Don't worry, Trixike will save you, Cadane would be mad if I let her friend get hurt,"
"Cadance and I aren't actually friends," Thorax said, really wishing he wasn't the one telling her this, Trixike deflated a little at that and blinked.
"But...but Cadance,"
"It was a lie," Thorax called back "And I used a Special spell to trick you into thinking I was Cadance after I stole you from her Dungeon," Starlight was ready for Trixike to blow a gasket, instead she looked genuinely hurt.
"You...you lied to me?" She asked tearing up a little "But...but..." As she started crying her face started turning red as her rage at being lied to again overshadowed how hurt the entire situation made her feel. "Everyone lies to Trixike, No one wants to be my friend they just want to use her!" Trixike charged up a blast and Discord Teleported Thorax away, Starlight stood her ground when Trixike suddenly froze as he eyes went white, the shimmer of an illusion spell wearing off appeared around her neck and the Golden collar with the Toxin was seen by Starlight before she could react the Orang Toxin was injected and the Golen Collar fell to the ground empty. Starlight began backing away as Trixike's eyes turned orange and she started foaming at the mouth, then her body started convulsing.
Twilight was having a hell of a time keeping her shield up, inside it was herself, Rainbow, the chained Chrysalis, and Applejack who was panting on the ground, Before them The TrsaWajor and Chimangodines Snake tail were battling it out with Palrabtus, trying to make it see reason the only way they knew how by beating the living shit out of it. Twilight watched as the TrsaWajors leg was destroyed and in a spiral galaxy like motion pulled itself back together, Palramtus lost a leg and started regrowing a new one before the old one had even hit the ground.
"These are some OP as motherfuckers," Rainbow said as she watched them fight, the Chimangodines was about to strike at Palrabtus when it froze, looking at the town. As she did this TrsaWajor sent Palrabtus flying back into the forest, having finally gotten a good hit and turned to the shield before stopping, looking at Ponyville shocked, and began cowering in fear as it started backing up.
"What the hell are they-" Twilight question was answered when she turned back to the town, A Massive creature was growing in the middle of the Town, A Pair of massive wings extended as Trixike Towered over even Twilight's castle and let out a yowl that caused Twilights shield to start shattering before raising a massive hand and in one swipe destroying over a quarter of Ponyville plunging the entire town into a cloud of dust and rubble. With a Snap Discord Landed in the dome, holding bot Thorax and Starlight in either hand like Scared luggage.
"Sweet Celestia," Twilight muttered as Trixike let out another yowl before unleashing a torrent of Fire that blanketed the entire town in fire and Smoke, Twilight readied herself as the cloud of Smoke and debris washed over her shield and exaggerated the cracking, Trixikes monster had turned tail and run the second she had screamed out, even then they were still blasted sky high when they were hit by the smoke cloud. The group stood in silence as Trixike began destroying the very foundation of Ponyville.
"Alright," Twilight said, sweating as she looked back to the group "New Plan,"
The Group sat to the side in their bubble as Trixike began blasted a torrent of flames into the sky before turning to Twilight's castle.
"Discord," Twilight called out.
"On it," Discord replied as he dropped Thorax and Starlight and teleported with a snap to the bridge of Trixike's nose. "Hey look at me," he called out as he started snapping and making random things appear on her face. Trixike let out another caterwaul and Twilight's bubble broke.
"Hot dam," Rainbow said as she looked up at Trixike "She's even bigger than Spike was when he did his greed grow thingy,"
"I noticed," Twilight replied as she extended her wings and took to the air, A stunned silence fell over the group as they watched Discord and Twilight attempt to lure the mega-sized Trixike away from the broken remains of the town before she headed to Sweet Apple acres or Twilight's castle.
"It'll take years to fix this," Applejack muttered as she stepped out of the circular spot of unburned grass and onto the scorched earth surrounding them, Applejack approached the crumbling remains of what had once been a building and looked around the mostly flat expanse that had once been her home town, The School of Friendship was still standing, tho the waterfall had been evaporated, as had Ponyvill's stream, tho a wave of water was making it's way down the stream slowly refilling it. She could see the burnt remains of Sugarcube corner and Spotted Granpear's pear butter stand, still blazing with flames. Rainbow limped over to her friend and put her hoof over her shoulder.
"I am so unbelievably happy that I left Tank at my Parent's place," Rainbow said as she looked up at the scattered clouds that had been her home mere moments ago. As the two looked around their burning home they heard a sickening noise, the sound of laughter, the two turned and looked at Chrysalis, who was laughing like mad in her golden chains.
"It might not be the victory I was hoping for," She said with a chuckle "But I'll take what I can get,"
"I am gonna beat you into the ground," Applejack almost screamed as she jumped at the fallen Queen, only to be stopped by Starlight.
"Alright," She said looking down at her foe "How do we stop Trixike?"
"You just have to wait for her to expunge the toxin," Chrysalis replied with a smile "Should only take her using every last drop of her magic," Thorax looked down at his mother, then to Trixike, suddenly his ears went flat.
"Hit the deck!" He cried out as he jumped out of the way, the others followed him without hesitation, Starlight bubbling herself and Chrysalis just as Twilight slammed into the ground and made a small gorge with her body, ending up in the stream, as the water began filling the new trench Starlight teleported her friend out of the water and Twilight got to her hooves, and shakily ended up in a sitting position.
"This must be what it's like to be Rainbow dash," She said dizzily.
"I mean," Rainbow replied looking at the trench "I'll give you an 8 for the trench, bonus points if you didn't break anything," Twilight weakly fluttered her wings before falling into a laying position.
"Oh, my everything hurts," She whined as Chrysalis began laughing again.
"Oh just wait, once she's done here She'll begin attacking anything and everything, my personal hope is that she burns Canterlot to the-" With a loud crack, Applejack slammed her hoof into Chrysalis's mouth and slammed the queen headfirst into the ground.
"That was for my Sister and my town," She said before walking away from the unconscious villain.
"Alright," Starlight said patting Twilight on the back softly "So to stop Trixike we just need to cut off her magic..." Starlight suddenly gasped. "Discord!" She called out. A version of him appeared next to her dressed as a Matra-de.
"How might I take your order?" He asked merrily.
"You gave Cadance those Horn Rings that blocked Trixike's magic right?"
"Indeed," He confirmed "But that would just stop Trixike from using the magic, it doesn't drain the magic,"
"Can you make a set of Magic draining rings?" She asked.
"Why yes," He replied happily "that said I can't just snap them on her, the magic that made her and her monsters prevent will prevent me from doing so for a good long while,"
"Can you give me..." Starlight was cut off as Discord snapped and three small circular objects appeared before her.
"just place two of them on her horns and the third one will suck it all in, be warned it'll give it right back to her, minus the toxin,"
"Wait, why-?" Starlight was again cut off.
"I am helping you," Discord replied "But like it or not I am a creature of Chaos and require it to live, so sorry that I'm not just snapping my figures and fixing every tiny problem but please be grateful in some way that I'm at least trying to help you in my own special way," Starlight sighed at that and gave Discord a salute.
"Thank you for your help," She said earning a salute back.
"Your welcome," He replied before snapping away. Starlight looked at the three devices and placed one on the ground before enveloping the other two in her magic.
"Hey Applejack," She said looking to her friend before pointing to the one on the ground "Keep an eye on this one," Starlight enveloped herself in her magic and took to the air.
As this was happening multiple sets of eyes could be seen from the slight brunt edge of the Everfree forest, one of them was mismatched.
"What now?" Coxa two asked his brother.
"We Attack, Strike, Raid even," The other Coxa replied as he turned to the small army of Changelings.
"You wanna attack a Princess?" Coxa two asked, there was a moment of silence before he amended.
"Launchpad, Attack, Strike, Raid even!" He amended, the Changling dressed as a piolet emerged and took three steps before being noticed by Thorax.
"Launchpad?" He asked with some amazement earning the attention of Twilight who lit her horn and shot golden chains from her horn, Launchpad ducked back into the forest as they started wrapping around him and ended up bring the 2nd Coxa with him, the First Coxa tried to save his brother and ended up going for the ride too. Twilight and Thorax watched as the trio were dragged before them and sat in a circle.
"Should have seen that coming," Coax two muttered as Thorax looked at them for a moment.
"Launchpad and the Coxa twins," he said as he gave them a quick once over, "Moma boys through and through,"
"So what?" Coxa one spat back "Nothing wrong, Harmful, Incorrect even about loving one's mother,"
"I'm sorry what?" Rainbow asked with a laugh as she turned to the Changling, Thorax turned to the trees and watched as the remaining Changlins retreated.
"I Gotta go," he said pointing them out "Keep these three and her for me will ya? Gotta find her hidden hive before they evacuate it,"
"Dumbasses," Coxa two muttered as Twilight combined the trio with Queen Chrysalises chains.
Starlight took to the sky and went to Trixike, the second she got close the Mega Monster swatted at her, rather she did it intentionally or if it was just bad luck Starlight didn't know as she back up. Trixike was jumping around in circles trying to get Discord off her face as she spat flames and random magic lasers into the sky.
"How am I gonna get close to that?" She asked as Trixike swatted at Discord and hit herself in the face, resulting in a random laser blast destroying more clouds. She moved to go after Discord again when suddenly her hand was enveloped in a golden aura and she smacked her self in the face again, Trixike gave out a roar of outrage and turned to her hand in rage before the other one was swept out from under her by magic and she crashed face-first into the ground. A Shadow covered Starlight and she turned to find Princess Celestia flying above her.
"I suspect you have a plan?" She asked as she made herself level with Starlight.
"Um...yeah," Starlight replied, "Is it just you or-"
"Luna can not be here since it would interrupt Trixike's rehabilitation, and neither can Cadance for the same reason," She replied as Trixike began picking itself up. "I will distract her, you do what you must do,"
"Just don't make her hit her own face again," Starlight replied "Cause that's where I'll be," Starlight flew forward and landed next to one of Trixike's horns, Trixike's tail swung up and came down at her only to be repealed by Celestia making a dome around Starlight. Starlight placed one of the items on Trixike's horns and it quickly grew in size and began wrapping around it, after a moment it was a ring. Starlight rushed to put on the other one when Trixike extended her wings and took to the air trying to get at Celestia, only for the princess to disappear, Celestia blinked and found herself standing next to Discord.
"Morning," he greeted.
"I'm still pissed at you," She replied.
"Fair," he agreed with a shrug as Trixike started flying higher in the sky. Starlight leashed herself to Trixike with magic and was flying in the air behind her like a tiny kite. Keeping the last ring in her grasp Starlight began crawling up the chain only for Trixike to do a loop, Starlight dropped and hit something hard, She blinked as she realized she had been caught by Trixikes horn and slapped the last ring on it before dropping off, the second it fully formed Trixike was forced to gather all her magic in between her horns and shot it to the one on the ground.
"Scatter!" Applejack cried out, only for herself, Rainbow Dash, and their captives, to be teleported to the Castel with Discord, Celestia, and Starlight. They watched as Trixike was drained of her magic, then in an instant, it was shot back to her without the toxin, The Mega Monster disappeared and Trixike looked around in confusion as she haphazardly flapped around in the sky and looked around in confusion.
"Wha?" She managed to ask before her eyes rolled into her head and she dropped like a rock. Discord snapped his fingers as Trixike was teleported before the group. He tapped his chin then with another snap gave her both her hat and her cape before putting her on a pillow and placing a blanket over her.
"There we go," He cheered "All better," He looked out at the burning remains of the town and coughed "Mostly," He amended "But don't worry I can fix this in a-"
"You'll fix it slowly and with supper vision," Celestia interrupted "Just to make sure you don't sneak in anything," Discord gave a groan before bowing.
"As you command," He said with a sigh when he heard a groan, Trixike picked herself up and rubbed her face.
"What just ha-" She looked at the group before her and froze, Instantly Twilight shot golden chains at her and Trixike jumped out of the way before lighting her horn. "Nope!" She declared before teleporting away, there was a moment of silence before Rainbow facehoofed herself.
"How are we so bad at this?" She demanded. "Why didn't you chain her up the second Discord snapped her here?"
"Don't you sass me," Twilight snapped back angrily "Besides it doesn't matter, she's at the Castle of the Two Sisters, she's always at the castle of the two sisters, I'll just teleport there and-"
"No," Celestia cut in, "I'll go get Cadance and Luna, they'll teleport there and take her back to the Crystal Empire for rehabilitation, and as for these four," She added looking to the ones still chained up "I have a very special punishment in mind,"
Trixike, in her rush to get away from her enemies, teleported herself slightly too high and too far and ended up falling into her moat. She thrashed wildly in panic for a moment before a vine wrapped around her and the Chimangodines pulled her out of the water. Trixike was limp as she was set down and lay still for a moment before getting to her hooves,
"Gather the Monsters," She said with a noticeable tint of rage in her voice. Chimangodines rushed to do just that as Trixike made her way into the courtyard, Inside the walls she spotted the Burt Mega Flower with the also burned Kitewe Bush in its clutches. "Drop the cat," Trixike said angrily, the Flower did just that and Trixike looked at Kitewe cowering before her.
"You ever scratch me again," Trixike said as she stared the pitiful creature down "And the Mega Flower's eating you whole, and I'll make sure you stay alive as it does so," Her piece said Trixike left the Kitewe cowering next to the Mega Flower as Palrabtus and the Tursawajor made their way's over the walls slowly, without a hint of slowing down Trixike pointed to the Tursa.
"Knockdown the wall between the courtyard and the moat, at this point the dam thing's just getting in the way," The Tursawajor showed no hesitation in following Trixike's orders as Palrabtus collapsed on the ground, the Chinamgodies sitting proudly between its eyes.
"Monsters summoned Queen," They said as they attempted to salute and instead ended up falling on both of their faces.
"Good," Trixike said as she engulfed the huge mass of trees, flowers, and Spiders in her magic. "Listen up, no more allies, no more plans from others, no more doing anything other than what Trixike says," Trixike held up her clawed fist and tried to hold it up in the air, only to find she was having trobles keep it in a fist, Trixike blinked as she became acutely aware she was shaking uncontrollably, "See Trixike," She said drawing attention to the shaking "I'm shaking in rage, or as a side effect of being drugged, either way, Trixike is brimming with anger and uncontrollable rage!" Trixike gave a smile as she looked up at the pile in her magical grip and closed her eyes, she had copied so many spells just by seeing them, she was confident she could make her own spell if she just tried hard enough to combine the ones she already knew, after a moment her eyes began glowing their respective Green and Blue, she stood up straight and with a smile, she began Singing.
"I have waited for the day, to send those wicked ponies away,"
"Now the monsters are my salvation, they huddle close for my protection,"
"WE will stand For ever Free!" With each word she sung her voice spread farther and farther out into the forest and the mass of tree's, flowers, and Spiders above her began spinning, Spiders began getting sucked out of the windows of the castle, the forest tree's and flowers where all being uprooted, the only thing holding strong was the Mega Flower, who had bunkered down the second it had felt Trixike being to suck in its base components.
"We hold the beauty of nature and all its glory"
"No need to fear the vultures at the door"
"Right here you have me to protect you"
"Within my monster hoards"
"Forever free! Forevermore!" Trixike stood strong as the mass above her grew larger and larger with each word, her voice was now carrying far and wide, even the few who still remained in Ponyville could hear her clear as day now as she continued her song with gusto.
"They have come into my domain"
"Here to seal my castle in shame"
"But we have held it for hours and hours"
"they will kneel before our powers"
"We will stand for ever free!" Trixike was grinning ear to ear as he swirling mass of Mega Flower ingredients grew large enough to be seen from Ponyville, her monsters did their best to stand their ground as the earth began shaking, Trixike stood on her hind legs and raised her arms up slowly, with a loud echoing crunching sound the ground began to crack a little ways outside of her moat and began to spread around the castle quickly, as this was happening the castle itself began buckling, the only part not falling apart was the single tower holding her cart, Trixike's hat was now floating above her head and her cape was flapping in the pull of her own magic.
"Trust in me this is for your own good"
"Don't be afraid I am your friend"
"All this beauty that surrounds us"
"Every lovely beast designed to defend" Trixike's hands were raised in level with her shoulders, with a mighty shove she pushed them over her head, and with an ear-splitting crack she pulled the foundation of the castle from the earth and her mess of ingredients began spewing beneath it quickly coating the bottom of her new landmass as it rose into the sky, Trixike gave a cackle of glee as she showed no signs of slowing down.
"Let them come! Just let them try" Trixike jumped in glee as she sang, no longer needing to use her hands to lock her spell into place
"I'm not about to say goodbye!" A huge ball of magic began collecting between her horns as she dances to her own tune.
"I will be here throughout the ages" The ball floated out from between her horn and flew to the bottom of her mass of ingredients
"Written into the History pages" The ball collided with the mess and magical energy spread through it quickly and her mass of ingredients began swirling together, sucking in even more and more of the required ingredients as it did so.
"We will stand forever free" Trixike finished her song and stood proud as large Black petals began surrounding her new landmass, each one easily twice the size of her now demolished castle. behind her, the ground began cracking again and a single large black vine shot out and a beautiful flower of Green and Blue blossomed from it, Trixike smiled at her brilliance, having combined both the fusion spell and Queen Chrysalis'es mind control spell to make a monster that lived to obey her on thought alone. Trixike took her seat and ascended high with a smile before turning to look at the destroyed wreckage of Ponyville.
"There at the castle," She said after a moment of scanning the destroyed town "Starlight and Applejack always go back to the castle," without hesitation her mountain-sized Ultra Flower began slowly making it's way to the final battle. Far away, standing on the staircase of the Castle, Applejack and Starlight stood in silence as they watched the monster begin its journey towards them. Standing next to them was Cadance and Luna.
"I have seen many things in my life," Luna said after a moment "But I must give Trixike credit for taking an idea and really rolling with it,"
"You're telling me," Applejack muttered as she looked at the sight before here "If I'd know she could make a flower that big I'd have gone at her a lot harder when I first saw her,"
"What do we do now?" Starlight whispered as she watched Trixike's ultimate monster get closer and closer. "What the actual hell do we do now?"
"Burn it?" Applejack said after a moment.
"The Mega Flower could store water for just such a thing," Starlight replied "and it could heal itself faster than most things could burn it away, and that thing is like a million Mega Flowers in one, no way Fire does anything than give it a giant flaming vine to swing at us," after a moment Cadance was the one to make the plan.
"Starlight," she said looking at her and then turning to AJ "Applejack, you two started this, even if it was an accident this all started because of you both, and as far as I can tell you two are still the driving force in her existence, after all that has happened with her she won't want to hear it, she won't listen, she won't make it easy, but if you want to stop this, you have to make her understand that her safety, her happiness, her well being, is all you want to form her, you can't stop her, I don't think any of us can stop her anymore" Cadance turned to the Ulta Flower and frowned "The only thing in creation that can stop her, is her,"
Author's Note
Trixike's song
"I have waited for the day, to send those wicked ponies away,"
We hold the beauty of nature and all its glory
They have come into my domain
Trust in me this is for your own good
Let them come! Just let them try
I've been waiting for over 2 years to use this song! Also Happy 3-year Anniversary to this Story
The Ultra Flowers approach to Ponyville was almost comically slow compared to its size, even though Trixike had gone out of her way to clear the way by using most of the trees between the spot her castle once stood and Ponyvile as the ingredients in the Ultra Flower she was still having a hard time getting it to move properly while also making it keep up straight so as to not send the remains of her castle and her monsters tumbling to the earth, It had been three hours since she had crafter it and they where only a little ways past halfway.
Trixike was lazily laying on her new Flower throne, looking at the pages of a book while Her Monsters all stood around the bottom of her vine, nervously watching the edges of their small island as it slowly began shrinking with every step of the Ultra Flower, even the Mega Flower was shaking a little with each step. As the Ultra Flower slowly moved Starlight and Applejack were running towards it, trying to buy them some time Cadance and Luna were both flying towards the island Trixike had made.
"Trixike," Cadance called as she landed, Trixike looked at the voice and Cadance could see her face lit up as she closed the book she had been looking at.
"Cadance," She cheered "You've finally come to join me, and you brought Luna, oh happy days!" Trixike pranced in place and Luna bit her tongue "Reliable relationships are so hard to forge, oh but fair warning if I find out you two are changelings I will murder you,"
"I see," Luna said awkwardly "Well glad to know you won't stand for the same trick twice,"
"Trixike hates tricks," She said angrily as she put her hoof over the book she had been looking at.
"You still trying to read?" Luna asked when she saw it.
"Something like that," Trixike said with a smile as she watched one of her monsters come out from behind the rubble of the tower and silently make its way toward Luna and Cadance. "So, you wanna hear something interesting?" she looked over to Cadance and Luna with a smug look, "I Got you," Before Luna or Cadance could react to her words black vines shot out from behind them and began wrapping them both up. Luna attempted to blast them away, only for a Snakehead to materialize. "That won't work on the Chimangodines," the snake hissed.
"You guys like her?" Trixike asked as she swung her tail over the edge, "I made her using the Black vines Discord once used to trap you and your Sister," Luna and Cadance both blinked as the lower half of the Chimangodines stretched out and proudly presented them both to Trixike, who lifted up the book she had been reading, revealing it to be Twilight's Friendship journal.
"I've been learning," She said with a grin "I snagged this a long while ago, but I've only recently figured out how to read, I've spent the last few hours reading it, and I've learned a lot about you two," Trixike put the book down and looked into Cadences eyes, "I'm not the same creature you managed to tame back in the Empire Princess, Chrysalis may have tried to use me, but you're no better, you stuck me in a cage and treated me like a child, I don't know what you were planning to use me for and I don't care, you and Luna can spend some time getting to know Chimangodines, usualt I'd just kill you but I happen to be too fond of both of you to end your lives so you'll just have to sit around while we wait for Applejack and Starlight to climb up here, I want to show my Mothers what I've become," As Luna and Cadance were dragged away Cadance called back.
"Trixike, listen to me, you don't have to do..." a Vine wrapped around Cadence's muzzle, and Luna was given the same treatment.
"Shut up," Trixike snapped back angrily "Your right I don't have to, but I will, I am Trixike, and I'm not going to be locked in another cage and hidden away, I'm alive, I'm free, I'm me!" Cadance and Luna were dragged to the Tower for safekeeping and Trixike looked out at the burning smolders of Ponyville. "Come and see Mothers," She whispered "Come see what your little monster has become,"
Starlight was using her magic to carry herself and Applejack up the side of the Ultra Flower, they were moving at a paced speed, taking their time to make sure the Ultra Flower didn't have any hidden eyes as they climbed up its massive flower steam.
"So, this is starting to get mental right?" Applejack asked "This entire thing started out tragically don't get me wrong, but it has devolved into utter madness right?"
"Ponyville has been turned to ash," Starlight replied with a sigh "This is all our fault, what do we even do at this point AJ? What can we even do now? Trixike has gone full supervillain after being turned on by Chrysalis, who knows what'll happen when we get up there, what...what if we can't help her?" Starlight stopped fully in her tracks "What are we going to do if she won't stand down?" She begged Applejack to have an answer for her and AJ simply shook her head.
"I didn't want to tell you," Applejack sighed "Twi and the girls are standing by with the Elements of Harmony, none of us wants to do it, but if Trixike won't stand down, then we're going to have to...make sure she can't do to anypony else what was done to her," Starlight didn't respond to the backup plan made without her knowledge and proceeded to keep climbing the flower.
"I'll talk her down," She decided "This won't be like with Chrysalis, I will talk her down," Starlight suddenly realized her and AJ's talk had taken too much of their attention as the Flower's eye spotted them and a large Tendril grabbed them both.
"Hey Starlight," Applejack called out "If we get turned into one pony, I wanna be called Applelight, Starjack just doesn't sound right," Starlight and Applejack were lifted up to where the broken remains of what had once been a Castle stood, with a hord of monster sitting around her Trixike rose up on her Flowery throne and had the Flower stop walking so she could get a good look at her guests.
"Well, well, well, Look who it is, old Trigger horn and Hat," Trixike chuckled "Oh no, wait I'm so sorry that's not right let me just double check," Trixike made a show of opening up the Friendship journal and flipping a page before closing it "Starlight and Applejack, my how embarrassing, to think I wasn't mentally capable enough to figure out your names, my I was quite the pathetic little monster wasn't I,"
"How...how much do you remember?" Starlight asked.
"Oh, about Spike and Trixie, I know all about them," Trixike replied casually "Must have broken your heart to kill them and turn them into this monstrosity,"
"We didn't mean to-" Applejack cut in only for Trixike's throne to shoot forward and cut Applejack off harshly.
"Oh no, you didn't mean to kill them and turn them into me, oh Then it's all fine and dandy then, happy accident, I guess I should just let you go and apologize," Trixike chuckled "Oh no wait you tried to kill me to!" Trixike lit her horn and pulled in an apple before tossing it in the air and shooting it with the disassembling spell, The Apple was turned to ash and Trixike laughed "Oh but let me guess, that was an accident too so I can't get mad at it, all you did was kill two ponies and then try to cover your ass by killing me too,"
"I...we thought it would turn you back into them," Starlight called back.
"Oh really? And you didn't...oh I don't know, think to test it one or anything else first? No just shoot it at me and hope It worked right hu?" Trixike leaned into Starlight and patted her head. "It's ok Mother dearest, I understand I am one hell of an ugly baby," Trixike laughed "Anyway It would be karmic justice to pay you back with your own medicine, but then you'll be free of your guilt, no I think I'll just turn every other creature in Equestria into my monsters, I'll spare you two, along with Luna, and that whole Empire, Chrysalis to actually, I'm gonna make her watch as I turn all her Children into one horrible monster and then blast it with the disassembly spell, oh I bet the look on her face will be priceless," Trixike howled with laugher at the thought. "Chimagodines tie them up with Cadance and Luna," Trixike turned to leave them to their fate, only to be blasted in the back of the head by a spell, Trixike quickly regained her composure and Starlight freed herself and Applejack.
"Corporal punishment, you really are the worst kind of mother," Trixike blasted magic at Starlight and Applejack and flew after them as she commanded her monsters to attack, Starlight quickly took advantage of the fact that Trixike seemed to care greatly for her creations and lit her horn, listening them into the air and over the side, Trixike quickly took command of the Ultra flower and plucked them all out of the air before sending them to the ground to avoid Starlight just throwing them off again, in the end, it was just the Chimangodines and the Mega Flower standing between them.
"I always hated you," Starlight decided as she blasted the Mega Flower with a spell, The Flower tanked it and rushed to grab at Starlight, only for its tendrils to start falling apart, The flower let out a screech as it began falling to piece and Trixike tushed to it's side and tired to keep it together.
"No, no, no," Trixike cried out "It's ok, you're okay," The Mega Flower blinked at Trixike and proceeded to pop off all it's eyes, letting them jump to the ground before the spell fully spread and Trixike's oldest monster withered to dust. "Trixike held the dust in her claws as the little eyes skittered around her, Trixike took them in her magic and attached the baby Mega flowers to her cape before lighting her horn, Starlight was picked up and slammed into the ground.
"And what was that?" Trixike demanded, "You talk about wanting to help me, and then Kill my Flower!?" Trixike threw Starlight to the side "I didn't want to kill you, but now that I think about it, you're the only one who can kill me," Trixike forced Starlight to look at her "Come on then, do it, Kill me Glimmer, put your ugly mongaloid child in the grave after I die, you can hunt down my children and kill them too," Trixike picked up Starlgith and tossed her aside in rage.
"That thing was a dangerous monster," Starlight shot back "It would have and already has tried to kill you,"
"It was still mine!" Trixike screamed back as she tackled Starlight and tried to blast her with fire "I've changed my mind, Applejack's good enough to keep around, I'm killing you and your dammed trigger horn here and now," Starlight punched Trixike out of desperation, while Applejack easily took out the Chimangodines with the same drugged cheese trick she had before, although this time she was smart enough to give some to the snake.
"That thing is not very smart," Applejack noted as she helped free Cadance and Luna.
"What now," Cadnace asked as Luna walked forward and blasted Trixike over the edge of the Flower.
"Starlight," Luna called out "Could you dispose of Trixike's mobile fortress,"
"Honestly I only shot the Mega flower cause I thought the two where connected," Starlight admitted "Maybe I am a Trigger horn," Starlight lit her horn, knowing Trixike was already far past the point where she would forgive her, and fired it into the Ultra Flower.
Trixike shook her head "Dammit it all," Ultra squash her," Trixike commanded, the Flower began moving before seething up "Ultra," Trixike called out before noticing the cracking in the flower as it began losing body mass "Wha..." Trixike watched in disbelief as her ultimate creation turned to dust before her "No...no I...No," Trixike fluttered down the the ground and watched as her castle came crashing down, and held her arms up as she realized the Tower was going to hit her. Trixike didn't try to move and was ready to end it, when Applejack was thrown as her at high Speeds.
"I'm sorry," Applejack said as she held onto Trixike as the Castle hit the ground and they where covered in a metric ton of atomized Spider Tree Flower "I'm so sorry," Applejack waited for Trixike to do anything to her and realized she was just lying limp.
"Please," Trixike begged as she started crying "If I give up will you make her stop killing them?" Applejack simply held onto Trixike.
"I promise Sugar Cube, Mama Apple won't let the mean old Starlight take any more of them away from you,"
Applejack sat on a dusty tree log as Celestia made sure Trixike and all her monsters were properly contained in Anti Magical Barriered, Trixike was once again in a cage, several flower pots had been provided for her and she was planting the Crawling eyes the Mega Flower had left her so she could grow more.
"So," Starlight said as she walked up to Applejack "The Plan worked,"
"What plan?" Applejack demanded of her friend "We were supposed to talk her down and we failed miserably,"
"That...wasn't the plan," Starlight informed AJ simply "The plan was to destroy the Ultra Flower and destroy as many of her creations as necessary until she gave in,"
"Who's plan was that?" Applejack demanded, Starlight just stared at her friend for a moment before Applejack frowned "It was your plan," She realized "Starlight..." Applejack took a deep breath "She is never going to forgive you,"
"I know," Starlight agreed "But...now I don't have to think about one day walking into the Canterlot gardens, and seeing a statue the friends I turned into a monster,"
"You think this is the end of it then?" Applejack asked Starlight.
"The terms of her surrender were clean, we let her monsters live and return her to that cell in the Empire, and she'll stay there. If she willingly escapes then she won't be guaranteed protection from me," Starlight watched Palrabtus being locked up in comically large handcuffs by Discord and shook her head "She was right," Starlight decided "I did kill them,"
"I didn't lock the door," Applejack defended.
"Applejack," Starlight sighed "I was supposed to lock the door,"
"Oh," Applejack forward "What did I do then?" She asked.
"I asked you to bring Apples to test the spell on," Starlight replied "Technically speaking AJ, this is entirely my fault I...just didn't want to take the blame alone,"
"Hmm," Applejack nodded as she got to her hooves "Welp if anypony askes...I forgot to lock the door," Applejack tipped her hat to Starlight and parted ways with her friend.
"As if you could ever tell a convincing lie," Starlight chuckled back.

Hope you enjoy, I'm trying for a little horror in this story
Things go from 0 to 100
Spike stared hard at Trixie, and she stared right back at him. She was waiting, ready for his move. She had made the advance and looked on in triumph, she had this, she thought, she was going to beat him and there was nothing he could. After hours of trying and scheming she was finally about to beat him. Spike looked at her in silence and moved his piece with a small click.
"Check-Mate"
"FUCK!" Trixie yelled throwing the Chess set off the table "REMATCH!" she demanded, levitating the pieces and setting the game back up.
"Come on Trixie we've been at this for the last 3 hours, can't we just take a break from chess and try a different game?" Spike asked motioning to a shelf full of board games.
"No, The Great and Powerful Trixie shall not be bested at anything, no matter how trivial!"
"I've beaten you like 50 times." Spike replied calmly.
"Those don't count! Trixie had something in her eye, now play!" She said moving her pawn forward.
"Alright, I'm playing," Spike said, moving his piece forward, "I'm playing". Meanwhile, as the duo continued their less than joyfully game night, in another room Starlight and Applejack were getting ready to start their testing.
"And you're sure this will work?" Applejack asked
"Applejack we've gone over this"
"We went over this once a week ago, then had to stall for my friendship mission with Fluttershy." she replied "I'd like a quick refresher course, just in case you've changed the general plan for today." Starlight sighed and levitated an Apple and a Pear onto a stool.
"Alright, so we take an Apple, and any food item of your choosing, like this Pear." she said, motioning to the fruit, "Then I combine them using the Spell," Starlight lit her horn and hit the fruits with her spell, and they watched as the two objects melted into liquid, then reformed together. "And now we have a Pepple! After we make sure it's genetically stable, we can taste test it."
"How do we know if it's stable or..." AJ was interrupted by the Pepple glowing blue. Starlight shielded herself and AJ and they watched as the Pepple began crunching in on itself, then suddenly started to swell, before exploding. "Nevermind." AJ amended, "I think I figured it out on my own" The duo looked on as the pieces swirled back together and reformed as a Peppler.
"It should become stable with time, although some combinations can take longer than others, so we're probably gonna be here for a while."
"Luckily this is all I have planned for today," AJ said as they watched it melt and break into cubes before resetting itself. As the two sat back and watched the Pepple fail to stay a Pepple Spike beat Trixie in yet another game of chess.
"CELESTIA DAMMIT!" Trixie yelled once again throwing the pieces off the table, "REMATCH!" She demanded.
"Let's just do something else!" Spike moaned "Anything!"
"Trixie demands a rematch! She is beginning to think you are cheating!"
"Says the one who tried to turn the board around!?"
"You can't prove Trixie did that!" Trixie shot back, Spike held up a photo of Trixie doing just that. There was silence for a second, "GIVE THAT TO TRIXIE!" She demanded, jumping over the table and diving at Spike.
"Never!" Spike retorted, jumping out of the way "Even when you cheat you still lose!" He yelled running out of the room with Trixie close behind.
"Give it!" Trixie yelled angrily as they ran through the halls.
"Oh, you can have it..." Spike took a deep breath and blew it away with his fire, "IF YOU CAN FIND IT!" He laughed before Trixie tackled him and the two tumbled down the stairs.
"What's that?" Applejack asked as the sound of fighting, glass breaking, and loud swearing came to her notice. Starlight listened for a second.
"Spike and Trixie seem to be playing Chess again." Starlight decided "Either that or Poker."
"TRIXIE DOESN'T CHEAT!" They heard Trixie yell and Starlight nodded.
"Chess, definitely Chess, Spike's the one who cheats at Poker," Suddenly the door slammed open.
"I DO NOT!" Spike said before being tackled by Trixie.
"GIVE TRIXIE THE FUCKING PICTURE! OR SO HELP ME CELESTIA I'LL..." As the two tumbled around they ended up squashing the Peppler.
"Ew" Spike said as he tried to wipe it off.
"Disgusting, This is your fault for accusing Trixie of cheating!"
"I fucking caught you on camera!" Spike shot back, as the two started arguing again Starlight and Applejack looked at the destroyed Pepple.
"And it had just become stable." AJ sighed, Starlight looked up at the arguing pair.
"You two go clean yourselves up," She said, "I've got to clean up the mess you've made." as Trixie and Spike left the room arguing AJ looked at the mess.
"Such a waste, they broke the stool and a perfectly good lantern." Starlight waited as AJ ran to get a bucket of water and a towel. Starlight poured the water on the floor, but as soon as it touched the Pepple's remains it began to glow blue and in a flash, the stool and Lanterns broken pieces melted into a liquid and began reforming. After a few seconds, a glass stool with wooden legs stood in front of them. They looked at it in shock for a second before what had just happened hit them.
"If that stuff fuses whatever it's attached to together when it gets wet..." AJ started,
"And Spike and Trixie are both covered in it and about to clean themselves off..." The two looked at each other in silence
"COME BACK!" They both yelled in unison slamming open the door. Meanwhile, Spike and Trixie were in the bathroom, Spike had set up a bubble bath for himself in the bathtub. It was sunk into the floor and was basically a tinny hot tub, he turned and tossed Trixie a towel.
"What is this?" She demanded holding it up.
"This is my bath." Spike said simply, "You can use the towel or wash off at your own home"
"Trixie is not walking all the way home like this!" She responded angrily "It's already getting crusty! You have scales, you can just scrap it off!"
"I'm not gonna do that, it'll scuff up my scales!" Spike said, Trixie walked past him to the tub, but he cut her off, "This is my bath!"
"I need it more!" Trixie said angrily, pushing forward. Spike grabbed her ears and she tried to levitate him off of her. She got him a little ways off her back, but with a mighty tug on her ear, Spike broke her concentration. She yelped, falling to the floor, and Spike landed hard on her back.
"Trixie calls dibs!" She said trying to buck him off as he held onto her ears, "And she demands that you let go of her ears!"
"I live in this Castle, and I drew the bath!" Spike shot back. Trixie tried bucking him off again, but just as her back legs lifted off the ground, Starlight slammed the door open, making her jump in shock.
"Stop!" Starlight yelled as Trixie fell face first into the tub with Spike.
"NO!" AJ and Starlight yelled as the two broke the surface.
"Dammit, Trixie!" Spike said angrily shoving her, as soon as his hands pushed into her chest they watched in horror as his hands melted into her chest.
"AH!" Trixie screamed, "GET OFF!" She tried pushing him away with the same result. Starlight and Applejack watched as their friends melted into the tub.
"No." Starlight said, "We were right here, we made it, but we...we failed..." The pair watched in mounting horror as Spike and Trixie's remains began swirling together. As the Dragon and Unicorn were put back together layer by layer, Starlight couldn't make herself look away. The process was as captivating as it was revolting.
After the Skeletal structure solidified, the organs grew into place, and muscles began wrapping around the body, Starlight threw up a little as she finally managed to look away. AJ had covered her eye's as soon as she saw what was happening, but then it started screaming.
As its tongue and vocal cords solidified, it let out a seemingly endless blood-curdling scream. After a solidified mixture of Dragon Scale and Pony Skin started growing, its body began to snap and pop. Its bones snapping in and out of place, trying to figure out where they fit.
Its tail splashed out of the water, long and Draconic, ending with a tuft of fur. The mane came next, it was the same color as Trixie's, but with splashes of Green. Two horns stuck out of its head, they bent backwards in the middle, and ended in a sharp point.
It blinked, and for a moment, for one horrifying moment, it had four eyes. But the 2nd pair seemed to be deemed unnecessary, and with several snaps and pop's they were removed.
Starlight watched as the creature continued to alter itself, removing unneeded limps and other pieces of Trixie or Spike that were not needed. She threw up again as bones broke through it's back. As it continued to scream, Applejack could feel the pain emanating from it as skin and bone grew out of its back, forming into a pair of wings.
Just when it seemed to be over, its foreleg began breaking apart and started reforming once more. Finally giving in, AJ pulled Starlight out of the bathroom and slammed the door closed as the creature continued its screaming. The two stood in silence, Starlight breathing heavy after being sick, AJ simply standing there in shock.
"What in Celestia’s name is happening in there?" AJ demanded
"The Spell is trying to find a compatible mixture of the two pieces that will allow the final structure to be stable." Starlight said looking back at the door, screams still echoing out from behind it.
"Come again?" AJ asked.
"The spell is trying to put them together in a form that is survivable, with no threat of muscles crushing blood vessels, organs popping or being dislocated from their proper position, and no limbs or bones breaking loose from the rest of the body. Once the Spell has made its body stable, it should regain cognitive function.”
"So they’re...it's not..."
"It does not currently have any brain wave patterns, no. All it's doing is existing without cognitive thought, it's screaming in pain, but each second is the beginning and the end of its memory...wait..." Starlight and AJ turned to the door, the screaming had suddenly stopped.
Putting her ear to the door, Starlight strained to hear anything. With a sickening pop, pieces of the creature’s body slammed against the door. She leaped away, hoof on her chest as her heart threatened to beat out of it.
"What in Tartarus?" AJ asked going for the door, only to be halted by Starlight.
"Remember what happened to the Pepple when it failed to become stable?"
"Well it pulled in on itself, and then it....oh no...don't...don't tell me it just..." Applejack finally threw up.
"We'll have to stay out here until we’re absolutely positive it's stable. Until then, you stand watch and I'll go get the others. If it becomes stable before I get back, do everything you can to keep it in there!"
As Starlight ran off down the hall, Applejack jumped as the creature started screaming again.
"I was not ready for today" She muttered as she turned to the door and waited for Starlight to return with the rest of her friends.
Misunderstanding's and Mistakes
Applejack stood diligently outside the door, checking every now and again to see how it was doing. The first time she looked in, nothing much had changed except that the bathwater was now red. She slammed the door after the Creature’s arm fell off and was sent flying at the door by its skeletal tail.
She checked in a few minutes later, after hearing it explode for the 7th time. She opened the door, and watched in a mixture of horror and amazement as it's bone's tried to pull themselves together. She retreated back to hall when they suddenly snapped to the center of the room, and the Creature resumed its screaming.
After taking a few deep breaths, she opened the door and watched silently as the Creature continued screaming, never stopping for breath. She shut the door when the creature stopped forming and began falling apart.
It's eye's melted in their sockets as the skin around its mouth deteriorated, and it’s jaw fell off. It’s spine tore through it's back, while it’s shoulder blades shot out and shattered against the wall. Just as the door closed, she heard that sickening pop, and she took a deep breath.
"Ah am not letting any of my friends see that." AJ decided as she waited for it to start screaming again. Finally, Starlight came back with Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy.
"Where are...?" AJ asked
"Friendship mission." Starlight cut in, "I haven't told them what's happening yet but..."
"Oh, my. What in Equestria is that?" Fluttershy demanded, looking to the door as the Creature resumed its wordless scream.
"Are Trixie and Spike having a shout off or something?" Rainbow asked walking over to the door and attempted to knock before AJ stop her.
"I’m sorry Sugarcube, but I can’t let ya’ll see what's happening in there just yet."
"They sound like they're in pain!" Fluttershy interjected trying to get to the door before Starlight cut her off.
"Stop! Okay, I need to tell both of you what happened, but I need you to sit down first."
"Why didn't you explain before hoof!?" AJ asked.
"Rainbow was in a hurry and said she'd only stop if it was really important, but she wouldn't let me explain with her endless guessing!"
"Are you two ok!?" Fluttershy asked. Getting no response, Rainbow tackled AJ away from the door.
"What is up with you? They might be..." Rainbow stopped when the piercing scream started back up,. "...no something is really bucking wrong." She decided, "I'm opening this door!"
"Rainbow wait!" Starlight yelled, as Rainbow got to the door. AJ had just enough time to jump to Fluttershy, and cover her face with her hat. Rainbow slammed the door open, and the Creature turned towards the noise, dislocating part of it’s jaw in the process.
Rainbow looked on in horror as it continued to screamed. When the Creature failed to re-attach it’s jaw, it decided it was time to reset. Starlight slammed the door shut with her Magic as it self-destructed, while Fluttershy tried to get out from under AJ's hat. Once she was sure that the door, was closed AJ moved her hat.
"Why in Equestria would you...Rainbow? Rainbow are you alright?" Fluttershy asked as said mare stood frozen, staring at the door. After standing there in silence for a moment, she slowly turned back towards her friends. She tripped over her hooves, and the trio watched her shake on the floor in horror as the screams started again.
"What...the...buck?" she demanded, "What The BUCK!!" She grabbed Starlight and slammed her against the wall, "WHAT DID YOU DO!?"
-10 minutes later-
"Poor guys..." Rainbow muttered, standing in front of the door while the Creature screamed on. "I'm no friend of Trixie’s, but she doesn’t deserve something like this! And Spike...sweet Celestia, Spike! Twilight's gonna have a bucking heart attack."
Fluttershy was sitting next to the door, crying silently as she listened to the Creature’s wails. Starlight was in the library trying to find a way to split them apart, and Applejack just stood in silence as she listened to it scream.
"Forgot to lock the door?" Rainbow muttered, turning to AJ, "You were using unstable, untested magic, and you forgot to lock the door!?" She shook her head, "Are you stupid!?"
"Rainbow please," Fluttershy said, "She's already beating herself up over it."
"Don't start that again," AJ said, turning, "We forgot they were here and they started fighting, burst into the room and...and shit happened."
"That's the best you got?" Rainbow said angrily, "Shit happened?"
As Rainbow yelled on, the Creature found itself floating in the tub. Blinking its eyes, it took a look around the room. The sound of Rainbow’s ranting was drowned out by the still running faucet of the tub. Turning towards said faucet, the Creature looked at the water around it. It was red and sticky, all the bubbles having disappeared a while ago.
The floor was covered in water, and the drains around the edges of the room were doing their job as best they could. The Creature looked at the bathwater and tried to penetrate the red goo. Holding up a claw and putting it in the water, it giggled at the feeling of water running over its claw.
The Creature looked in awe as the red was washed off it's claw, and revealed the purple talon beneath. Without thinking, it sheathed it's claw back into its hoof and pulled it out of the water, making a growl of displeasure once it noticed its hoof was red again.
Washing it off again before trying to get out of the tub. Looking down as it tried to climb out of the tub, the Creature found its hoof once again coated in red! Looking around with a growl, it noticed a similar device above it that wasn't surrounded in red. It walked over, and propped itself up while applauding its own intelligence. It heard sounds from one of the walls as it tried to get to the device, but it simply shrugged and turned to the device.
It saw something looking back at it, something terrifying. It had large horns on it’s head, and two fang's protruding from its mouth, and it was covered in crimson. Screaming, it struck the monster with its hoof, smashing it into shards.
As it took a step back, it heard weird noises and one of the walls revealed itself to be alive and angry. As the Creature shrieked in fear, it's horn's started glowing. It felt a sucking force, along with a bright flash, and it found itself sitting waist deep in clear liquid. It squealed in joy and started splashing around, the red disappearing the more it moved.
Fluttershy looked to the door while Rainbow yelled at AJ, something was wrong.
"It stopped." She realized.
"What?" Rainbow asked turning to her.
"There was no pop, and it stopped screaming...maybe it..." Suddenly there was a scream of fear and the sound of breaking glass.
"I'm coming in!" Rainbow yelled, followed by another scream and a flash of green light. Rainbow blinked and looked around. The bathroom was overflowing with bloody water, and the mirror had been shattered, but most importantly…
"It's gone," Applejack said as she and Fluttershy walked into the room, "We gotta get Starlight and find it!"
Author's Note
It has Hoove's that turn into Claws
Starlight and Applejack had both fallen asleep in the castle throne room while waiting for their friends to return, Starlight lay in the corner of the room with a sleeping bag while Applejack was asleep in her chair. they had stayed up late in the hopes of seeing their friends and talking about what had happened during the day, but sleep had won in the end. as the two lay in sleep their friends had returned and were sitting in their individual thrones watching their friends sleep.
"Should we wake them?" Pinkie asked
"Naw" Rainbow replied, "I don't know what happens after we left yesterday, but I'm betting they're exhausted."
"You seemed to have chilled out" Rarity noted "when you first found us you seemed...less so"
"I'm fine, It was just...saw things I shouldn't have seen is all" she muttered, shivering as a mental image of the Creature with its jaw hanging off popped into her head.
"So, now that we're all here, think you can properly explain now?" Twilight asked
"I Explained!" Rainbow retorted
"Dashie not to be rude, but all we managed to get from you is that AJ and Starlight did something and you're mad at them about it" it was at this point that Applejack indicated that she was awake
"Dammit Dash" They heard her muffled voice as she continued to lay face-first on the table
"Applejack thank Celestia" Rarity sighed "Please tell us what's going on."
"I can't" She responded simply
"What!" Rainbow asked, "The hell you can't!"
"Rainbow I just woke up, I am not being blasted through the wall by Twilight until I've at least had a coffee." this comment was met with a moment of silence
"Fair enough," Rainbow said with a shrug as they watched Applejack get up and go to wake up Starlight
"Guy's this is no time for jokes..."Twilight started only for Rainbow to cut her off
"Oh no, that was serious, I almost Threw Starlight out a window when I heard what had happened." Rainbow sat in silence for a second "She teleported out of my hooves before I could tho"
"What!?" Pinkie asked, "Jackie what'd you do!"
"didn't lock the door!" was her sleepy response as she nudged Starlight who muttered
"'m up, 'm up" She muttered sleepily as she turned over in her sleep
"Somepony wake her up, I'll get the coffee."
"I can help darling," Rarity said as she got up
"Thank you" Applejack called as Rarity made her way over to Starlight and proceeded to attempt waking her up.
"Come on Darling, you need to wake up." as she attempted to wake her up Twilight looked outside at the time
"Dangit" She muttered as she got up
"What's up?" Rainbow asked as everypony in the room turned to watch her
"I hear a distinct lack of argument," She said, "and I know for a fact Trixie and Spike stay up so late during their monthly game night that they usually end up sleeping on the floor, I better go wake them..." Twilight stopped when she was engulfed in blue magic. Rarity turned to find Starlight sitting up with guilt written on her face
"You can't do that," She said as she forced Twilight back in her chair
"Starlight, I don't have time for you..."
"You Can't do that" Starlight said sternly as Applejack walked back in with a tray on her back. Rarity levitated it off her back and gave a cup to Starlight as Applejack took one, after a few minutes of silent drinking they finished their drinks
"Ah" Applejack sighed "Alright where do we start...?"
"Trixie and Spike don't exist anymore!" Starlight blurred out. this was followed by silence and Applejack shook her head.
"probably shouldn't have started there."
"WHAT!?" Twilight yelled.
-45 minutes later-
"Applejack and Starlight were personally impressed at their friends for having let them finish the story without trying to kill them.
"...and then she declared revenge and teleported to Celestia knows where" Applejack shrugged looking over at Twilight, who was writing notes to a multitude of ponies, yaks, dragons, and other creatures.
"Why was that Spike's job if you could do it with more efficiency?" Starlight asked Twilight snapped her head over to her and Starlight winced "Shutting up" Starlight amended, sitting in silence as Pinkie worked on a Banner.
"What's that?" Applejack asked.
"Are you joking!?" Pinkie asked grabbing Applejack "Trixike was just born and she didn't get a Birthday Party!" Pinkie placed dramatically "No wonder she's turned evil in less than a day!"
"Pinkie darling I dought that's why it turned evil, from what they've told us it seems to be a series of escalating misunderstanding."
"Trixike, not it" Applejack interjected
"Applejack Darling I love you and your one of my closest friends."
"You're not coming on to her are you?" Rainbow asked with a chuckle, Rarity silenced her with a side glace
"But when the time comes for you to have foals...you probably shouldn't name them if Trixike is any indication of your skills in that regard"
"I Had like 20 seconds to give her a name!" She shot back
"Why not Spixie?" Rarity asked "It flow's better"
"I named her Trixike!" Applejack shot back
"Fine, fine." Rarity said, there was a moment of nothing but quill scratching before Rarity added "Tho when I do meet her I'm definitely running the name change by her."
"Alright," Twilight said stopping all activities at the table "I've written letters to Celestia, Luna, Cadence, Shining, Thorax, Ember, Prince Rutherford, Queen Novo, Princess Skystar, Captain Celaeno and her crew, Capper, Tempest, and even Grubber." she finished as she teleported the individual papers to their respective counterparts "Now," She said turning to Starlight and Applejack, "I think it's time we had a talk"
"If I have one regret in my life" Applejack declared "it was pretty much everything that happened yesterday"
"Applejack I'm not going to kill you." Twilight sighed, Applejack squinted at her then slowly pulled Starlight behind her
"I'm not gonna kill Starlight either" she added and Applejack let her go
"ok good."
"Alright" Twilight motioned to the map "I'm going to Canterlot to see if they..."
"She" Starlight and Applejack corrected
"...They..." Twilight said hardly "...ended up in that area" she turned to Rarity "I need you to search Manhattan for any word on them being there..." she turned to Rainbow
"Cloudsdale?" Rainbow asked
"Cloudsdale" Twilight confirmed "Pinkie you stay here in case they come here, and...." She looked over at Fluttershy's empty seat "Where's Fluttershy?" She asked
"Wait you just noticed she isn't here!?" Rainbow asked "Wow, what a great friend" Twilight looked over at her "She went to get Discord" Rainbow sighed
"Oh...good, and you two," She said turning to Aj and Starlight "Stay here with Pinkie"
"What why do we...." Applejack started
"Because as you just said, it's developed a pretty hard hate boner for you two" Rainbow cut in simply
"Rainbow please," Rarity asked looking over at her "Don't talk like that"
"Oh!" Pinkie said happily "You can help me make it a party!"
"Not to be rude Pinkie," Applejack said bluntly "But I kind of have to work out how Winocore will be staying at the farm."
"And I'm going in case it goes berserk" Starlight added
"Daw" Pinkie sighed as Twilight got up
"Alright everypony, once I've finished in Canterlot I'll be traveling to your locations individually, just in case" as the 6 mares got up Twilight nodded "Let's go find out friends" and with that, the 6 mares spread out.
Meanwhile
Trixike looked at the sight in front of her groggily, her Flower monster had regained movement functions and was trying to move as she sat in front of it
"Having fun?" She asked as she ate from a box of crackers she'd found in the cart "Cause I am" She held up a cracker "want one?" the Flower whipped over in her direction and hissed madly, it's tongue trying to reach her, only to come up far too short "Maybe you should have thought of that before, oh I don't know, you tried to eat me, you bitch" she threw a rock at the flower before looking around the Castel, it was falling apart, and empty "I need some more friends" She decided as she pulled out another handful of crackers to munch on, only to get soaked by a torrent of water from the flower "no more flower's tho, their dicks." she added as she dropped the ruined box of crackers.
Author's Note
Just so no one gets picky with me the line "the 6 mares spread out" Is referring to the 5 members of the Main 6 present and Starlight.
Trixike sighed as the Kitewe sleep on her bed, she had no toy's to play with, no chore to take care of, and all her monsters where being taken care of for her, she had nothing to do, so that's what she was doing, she was leaning against the locked door of her cart. It had been a fairly long time since Cadence had left, and she was waiting for the Queen to show up and give her some attention."
"Trixike is Bored" She moaned to the room "She demands some entertainment!"
"I know a few jokes if that would help," A voice said making her jump and fall flat on her face
"Who in Existence was that!" She demanded as she picked herself up
"Oh, It's me, Launchpad, the Queen told me to stand guard, said it was something even I couldn't mess up!" Trixike looked at the door in silence
"Why didn't you say something!" She demanded
"I didn't want to interrupt anything important."
"There's nothing but a Chess set and my sleeping pet in here, there isn't anything I could do that would be considered important!" She called back "Trixike is bored and demands you entertain her!" Trixike jumped back into the door when Launchpad teleported into the room. "And Give a warning before you...oh hey, you took my advice," She noticed, Launchpad was now wearing a jacket and a pilots hat with goggles "It looks good"
"Thanks!" He said proudly "I got em for free too! Chry...I mean Cadence gave 'em to me under the promise that I would shut up and get back to work." he stood in silence for a second before scratching his head "So...what now?"
"We do the only thing we can do" She responded, "We play chess!"
-Elsewhere-
"Dang it!" Starlight said as she paced around the map "We had her! She was being rehabilitated and everything! And now she's gone Again!" she sighed "Never should have used that spell."
"Where did you even find that spell anyway?" Twilight asked, "I've read through hundreds of Spellbooks, and I've never so much as heard a reference to a spell that acts like this one." She shook her head "I even checked a few black magic books and nothing! Where did you learn this spell?" Starlight gave an odd chuckle
"Where did I learn it?" She asked nervously "I...learned about it from an ancient history book Thorax gave me" She laughed as she turned back to Twilight "It's the spell that created Their race" she looked at Twilight in silence
"You were using a spell that made a race that for over 7 hundred years...has been unrelentingly evil....to make assorted flavors of Apples!?"
"To be fair there's no record left of what creatures were used to make the changling race, just that there where more than 4 creatures used, I just figured if I didn't use it on any sentient creatures nothing bad would happen...it didn't say anything about water activating a chain reaction in items hit with the spell."
"What did it say about the spell," Twilight asked, this was met by silence "It only said things about combining two objects right?"
"There was also a spell to split things apart...with turned out to just be a disintegration spell, It did only say it would split the fusion apart, never specified putting the two original pieces back together."
"Starlight," Twilight said calmly "It's fine, It would be a different story if you had planned to use it on them, but you were only planning on fruit testing, and then those two just...kind of ran into the room." Twilight shook her head as she walked over to her friend "Look, I've done so stupid things before....a lot of stupid things even, That has never stopped me from moving forward, and I know you've done some stupid stuff as well, and I know that has never stopped you either." Starlight laughed
"Nice pep talk Twilight," She said with a smile "but we're getting off track" Starlight turned back to the map, Rarity was using her magic and, with Applejacks instructed, was placing small X's on the map
"Definitely none of the big city" AJ muttered as she looked at the amber jar sample provided by Luna, who had briefed them before teleporting off. "This Amber is ancient, it would need to come from someplace mostly untouched by ponies, and the tree that made it must be even older than this"
"I thought Tree's made sap" Rarity interjected
"Amber is sap" Applejack responded "Just fossilized, it most likely came from a tree that originally had sap with magical properties, but the tree itself would either be long dead...or a fossil..." Applejack grumbled as she looked at the map "I like plants but I'm not a dam botanist, why is this my job!?"
"Because you know things about plants" Rarity responded, "and Twilight is supposed to be looking into who or what might have kidnaped Trixike!" Rarity sighed "Oh my poor Spikey-Wikey, turned into a monster..."
"What about Trixie?" Starlight asked, receiving no response,
"Well I'm sorry, I've just been busy trying to stop Zecora from trying to kill Discord for the whole, making her disappear for a few days, things. but I have managed to knock a fair number of out old villains off the list" She added with a smile, which then melted as she continued "Of course, this could be a new villain we've never met before, so in the end, there's always a chance I'm waiting my time."
-Meanwhile-
"YOU CHEATED!" Trixike yelled angrily as a Confused Launchpad watched her flip the board
"But you won." He responded in confusion
"I know! But This game isn't fun unless you throw it to the floor and blam the other player of cheating."
"Wait, so were you cheating...or was I?" He asked in confusion, Trixike opened her mouth, and found she had no solid response
"Trixike has been locked up to long...oh I know!" She ran over to her window and waved to get Palrabtus's attention "P.T.M.C!" She called "Get me out of here! I need to move!" Palrabtus looked up at her, gave a few clicked and turned her back on her, Trixike looked down at her "That was really mean" She muttered "you could have just said no" She muttered before running to the other side of the cart and called out as loud as she could "MEGA FLOWER!" She called "CAN YOU HEAR ME? TRIXIKE WOULD LIKE TO GET OUT OF HER PRISON, CAN YOU..." The Mega Flower roared out and Trixike shut up "FIne!" She muttered angrily "I never liked you either!"
"Wha's up?" Launchpad asked, putting the chess pieces back in random places.
"Palrabtus told me the Changling are feeding her and there more reliable than me and my disappearing act" She muttered angrily "And the Mega Flower called me a few choice words before telling me It didn't need me now that the Changelings are taking care of its needs." She muttered angrily as she lay on the floor, before jumping up "But I still have my Kitewe!" She ran over and patted her creature on the head "You won't betray you, mommy, will you?" She asked "You a good little monster." The Kitewe hissed at Trixike for waking it up and swiped her in the face, Trixike jumped back, crying as she held her face, several claw marks across her muzzle, The Kitewe made a mixture of a Baa and a Meow before turning and laying back on the bed, Launchpad had reacted instantly and used a spell to at the least stop the bleeding
"I don't speak monster, but even I heard that hostility" Trixike rubbed her face as she translated
"It told Trixike not to mess with her superiors." Launchpad looked over at the creature on the bed
"Eh, I'm not much of a cat fan myself, He walked over to the door" I'll be right back, just...you know...keep clear of your monster over there for a second." Launchpad teleported out of the cart and ran full speed to the Queen "Your Highness!" He said to get her attention, she immediately sighed
"I told you not to bother me unless it was..." She stopped talking and leaned down on him "You have blood on your face"
"Trixike's Cat Lamb thing attacked her!" He reported "I mended to scratched a little but I came to..." Chrysalis walked past him
"Report to medical to get cleaned and checked," She said immediately "I'll take care of things from here." Launchpad gave her a salute
"Yes mom, I mean Ma'am" Chrysalis sighed as he ran off, she walked over to the cart and opened the door, Trixike was hiding under the chess board, the cat monster had gotten off the bed and was now testing to see how much control it had of the situation. Without a word Chrysalis lit her horn and levitated the creature in the air, it let out a hiss and began swiping in Chrysalis direction
"A Street cat" She noted with a sigh "Great, now I have to deal with this" She pulled the creature out of the cart and Magically encased it in a crate, after giving the orders the monster was carried off by a group of Changelings before she walked back in and sat in front of Trixike, who was still hiding under the Chessboard "Morning" She said Politely, Trixike peaked out from under the board at Chrysalis before hiding under the board
"You do look cooler than Cadence" She noted shakily, Chrysalis sighed
"Come with me," She said clearly motioning to the open door "Clearly your monsters have no emotional connections to any one thing, only ones of being feed, and I have clearly been taking having you in the hive in the wrong manner." Trixike didn't move and in the end, was levitated onto Chrysalis back and walked out of the cart
"Having your creations betray you, ones you tried to care for, attempt to overthrow you and become your superiors." Chrysalis stated simply "I've had it happen to me, I was once a Mighty Queen of a massive hive, now I have lost almost all of it, only a small number of my children remain under my command, even if most of them want to join the new ways, they don't want to hurt their mother's feeling." Chrysalis sighed at the thought "Their good kid's, even Launchpad, he may be moronic and my least favorite, but he's still one of my little morons." Trixike continued shaking on her back
"I can tell this isn't the first time you've been betrayed, but I'm guessing the other time or times, it was only one or two of them, not every one of them betraying your trust at once." Chrysalis continued walking with Trixike until they reached the infirmary area of the hive, Launchpad was having his face clean and was being checked for scratched and cuts, another changling was laying in a bed with its left front leg in a cast, and one other changling was laying in bed with a bubble around it. As Trixike was placed in a bed Chrysalis walked over to the one in a bubble and greeted it, Trixike's attention was stolen when a female changling walked over to her and looked at her,
"Claw marks on the face" She muttered, "small bite front claw, from forelimb, has a deep bite mark, matching those of a dog." as she spoke she wrote these things on a notepad, she looked around Trixike's body for any other marks of blemishes, big or small "Scale missing on base of tail, small crack around base of left horn..." She opened Trixike mouth and nodded "Teeth need a deep cleaning" She added before touching her stomach, which gained a few chucked from Trixike as the changling rubber her stomach "Definitely needs some real food" she added with a nod. she cast a spell on Trixike and nodded once more "Need's a few shots" with a spark of her horn, the page was duplicated and placed at the end of Trixike's bed, with was engulfed in a bubble "Sorry for the bubble, but is necessary for anyone in the wing who hasn't been vaccinated" The nurse said before leaving for a room in the back, she paused at the queen and gave a polite nod "Morning Your Highness"
"Anything to bad?" Chrysalis asked
"A fair list actually" She responded, "I'll need Buzz and Click before I continue, but They'll be easy enough to find, I know for a fact that Click has nothing to do.' She gave a final nod before walking over to the other two nurses, who had just cleared Launchpad to leave, and informed them of their new patient. Chrysalis leaned down and whispered something in the nurse's ear, "OH! You think she might...Yes, I can see it, yes I'll run the test" She said with a nod, Chrysalis said goodbye to her and the Changling in a bubble and patted the sleeping one in a cast on the head before moving back to Trixike
"Don't worry," She said, "This time tomorrow you'll be right as rain."
"How long have those guy been in here?" Trixike asked, pointing to the other two patients
"Sling," She said pointing to the one in a bubble" has been here a while, got sick on a...trip to the Crystal Empire, and Gossamer over there took a stupid bet and paid the price." She sighed with a head shake "But they both have serious problems, none of your's require serious time here, just a quick overlook and a few odds and ends and...as previously stated...you'll be right as rain" Chrysalis turned to leave before adding "and I'm moving your cart to a different area, so you don't have to worry about your monsters yelling at you." Trixike waved goodbye as Chrysalis walked out of the infirmary, being greeted by one of the changelings who had carried the Kitewe away
"As ordered you highness," He said with a salute "The Creature is, at this very moment being taken to the outskirts of Ponyville" Chrysalis smiled
"Good, That should help throw them off our tracks, and your team remembers the plan?"
"Yes, they will be in disguise when they Inject the monster and release it, and will teleport away only after the creature is done, or defeated."
"Good" Chrysalis smiled "I'm going to the throne room, don't disturb me unless it's new's about the monster or Trixike, I have plans to make and plans to put into action."
