Magic with a Pop and a Twist
Chapter 1 Sun's Shock
Load Full StoryNext ChapterCelestia yawned as she raised the sun into the sky. She was going to pick her personal student today. She sighed as Sunset came to mind, she thought to herself (I have to do better this time.)
On the lower end of Canterlot a filly named Fizzlepop was excited about her chance to enter Celestia’s School for Gifted Unicorns. Her mother, Poptart Skyloft and her father Skyhound Pop were incredibly pleased. The only thing that upset Fizzlepop was her big brother; Storm Blast was too busy to join them.
Poptart's mane was a beautiful rose like her daughters, her eyes were a dark green and her coat was a deep blue, she was quite round as she often tasted her own baked goods. Skybound on the other had a deep black mane, a dark coat of orchid like his daughter and shared her opal coloured eyes, he was built as big as the strongest earth ponies. Fizzlepop was shaking as her family headed towards the huge testing building for all of Celestia’s potential students.
Poptart asked “What’s wrong?”
Fizzlepop whimpered “I’m scared.”
Skybound frowned “You’re the most powerful Unicorn our family has ever produced; you have no reason to be worried.”
Poptart smiled “It’ll be alright, we’ll be right there for you.” They entered a room for parents and foals, many of the foals were older than her. Poptart smiled “I think you should spend some time with the other foals.”
Fizzlepop smiled meekly “Hi.”
An light orange colt with a dark orange mane wearing glasses smiled “Hi, I’m Sunburst. You are quite young; you must be quite capable if you are here.”
Fizzlepop replied “Thanks.”
A filly burst out of nowhere “I am the Great and Powerful Trixie, I am the most powerful foal here.”
Fizzlepop raised an eyebrow before she heard another voice “Trixie, please can you stop?”
She turned around to see a violet filly with a dark blue mane that had two streaks, one raspberry and the other purple. Trixie scowled “Twilight, you will never understand the true majesty of the Great and Powerful Trixie.”
Fizzlepop’s eyes widened as Trixie’s horn glowed and was about to fire a barrage of magic at Twilight. Fizzlepop’s horn glowed and with a pop she appeared in front of Twilight, she then created a dome of magic around them as Trixie fired her spells. Fizzlepop sighed, each of Trixie’s blasts were so weak they did no damage to the shield. All of the foals who were drawn to the incident were shocked at the light purple shield. Twilight smiled “Thank you.”
Fizzlepop smiled “Your welcome” before turning to Trixie with a scowl; she snarled “Trixie, we don’t come here to murder each other. What the hell where you thinking?! Magic is a gift to be respected not a tool to be abused!”
Many of the adults turned to the pair who was glaring at each other. An elderly green stallion with a red tome as a cutie mark entered the room. He frowned “What’s going on here?”
A mare with 3 stars on her flank spoke up “An incident happened involving my daughter, Twilight and 2 other foals.”
Fizzlepop gulped as the elder stallion eyes looked at her closely “That is an impressive shield, especially for a filly of your age. Can you tell me what happened here?”
Fizzlepop frowned “Trixie tried to attack Twilight with a barrage of magic because she was advised to tone down her ego down by an inch or two.”
The elderly stallion asked the surrounding foals “Is this true?”
The surrounding foals nodded at him, he sighed as he walked over to Trixie’s parents and shook his head. Trixie looked downtrodden as her parents frowned at her and they left the building. Twilight frowned “I don’t feel it was fair for her to get kicked out, she deserved the chance.”
Fizzlepop said “Twilight, this just means her fragile ego will be safe a little longer. Her magic power was very poor, it did nothing to my shield.”
Twilight asked “How do you have so much power? I’m 8 years old, your 5.”
Fizzlepop smiled “I learn magic like how most ponies lean how to walk. Now that I think about it my name came from the fact they had to catch me when I was foal as I teleported away from them.”
Twilight and Sunburst who was watching the pair gasped “Most Unicorns struggle to learn how to teleport.”
Fizzlepop said “I’ve always been powerful or so my parents keep telling me.”
The elderly stallion said “We are ready to begin.”
We lined up with the 3 of us at the end, Sunburst, Twilight and then me. I waited with my parents as countless children went in and out, Sunburst shivered “Are you two scared? I mean look at all those foals that went before us, I’m next.”
Fizzlepop said “I’m scared too.” Twilight was shaking so badly, Fizzlepop smiled as she rubbed her back “Remember you are capable, I’ll be here and regardless of what happens I’ll be happy.” Twilight nodded as she and Fizzlepop watched Sunburst entered the room.
The sound of magic going off echoed for 10 minutes, Sunburst trotted out afterwards looking at his hooves “I failed, I couldn't do it.”
Fizzlepop smiled “Relax, I doubt whatever the test in there has to be completed in the way you think or else they wouldn’t have any students.”
Twilight smiled nervously “Yeah, well wish me luck.” Twilight came out in 5 minutes crying “I couldn’t do it, I was not powerful enough.”
Fizzlepop gave her a hug “You gave it your all, that’s all that matters. I’ll join you on the other side.”
Fizzlepop entered the large empty hall with 3 ponies sitting there; she stared at the dragon egg in the centre. She thought (If that is their criteria for getting into the school, then they will have no new students except maybe me, I’m the only one left.)
The elderly stallion from before sat on his warm chair as he said “You can begin.” Fizzlepop poured magic into the egg, smiling as it began to crack. Her smile was as big as her muzzle by the time the egg cracked. Then just as she was about to finish a rainbow had flown past accompanied by a loud boom. Fizzlepop’s magic flew out of control as her eyes glowed white; the hatched dragon grew to the size of the building. All the ponies in the room including her parents were turned into stumps.
Princess Celestia who was watching the tests galloped out of the hidden room, heading for Fizzlepop who hovered in the air firing bolts of magic everywhere.
As she approached magic flung out but to her shock it pushed her through the building onto the ground crushing her, she could only watch in horror as all the ponies in the building evacuated as Fizzlepop’s magic grew wilder and wilder. Celestia was so horrified that she didn’t notice the damage being done to her body, the broken legs, and the cracked ribs.
Then the magic eased up allowing her to stand. She grimaced as the pain of her broken legs hit her, then she watched as beams fired continuously in multiple directions.
In Griffonstone, huge purple beams tore through the remaining buildings. Griffons were screaming and running for cover.
Further away in the Badlands, Queen Chrysalis was planning her invasion of Equestria to take place in two weeks. A Changeling rushed in and bowed “My Queen we’re under attack by magic.”
She screamed “What?!” She then stormed out only to see purple beams tearing through her hive. She screamed “How, my hive’s throne can nullify even Discord’s magic, who is doing this?”
Further still on Mount Aris the Hippogriffs were valiantly fighting against the Storm Kings forces until several large purple beams tore through both armies. Queen Novo sent an order to retreat and said “The land above the ground is too dangerous, through this orb we will live under the sea.” Her people agreed and by the time the Storm King’s Army recovered enough to attack again the Hippogriffs they had vanished into the deep sea.
Celestia back in Canterlot prayed “Please by the power within you powerful sun grant me the power to stop this before more are harmed.” Celestia’s horn glowed as the sun’s might flowed through her body burning with the brightest flames. She focused her magic to nullify Fizzlepop’s magic surge. Celestia managed to suppress the magic surge and smiled as she caught the young filly. Celestia used the little magic she had left over to reverse the effect of the magic surge except for repairing the destroyed buildings.
Nopony was hurt due to the quick thinking of little miss Twilight Sparkle, who organised the vacation super efficiently while also proving her magical talent in a practical scenario. Still the most shocking part of the event was how much damage Celestia had taken, 3 of her legs were shattered completely. She had several broken ribs and suffered magic drain so severe her mane had returned to a pink colour. Still she smiled “I have found my new personal student.”
Poptart and Skybound were crying in their hooves. Celestia smiled “Would it be okay for your daughter to live in the castle?”
The parents smiled “Of course, we hope she will make some more friends.” They then frowned “Still we’re sorry for your injuries.”
Celestia waved her one good hoof “Don’t worry about it, still I’ll need some time to recover, I will need to be able to raise the sun tomorrow and the moon tonight.” Celestia and Fizzlepop were escorted to the castle to recover.
