The Best Troller In ALL Of Equestria

Ending Segments: "Is it someone new?"

Celestia wasn't sure of what the outcome of this voyage could mean, so she left a note for Twilight in case she ever woke up. It told her everything she'd need to know. That was the last memory that ran through her mind before teleporting. They came out from their world, and into the new one, and Celestia looked around before saying, "I suppose we can try to locate the proper lighthouse."

Trixie breathed, and asked, "You don't know which one it could be? Just how many major lighthouses are there in this world?"

Celestia calmed Trixie down by saying, "There's probably the same amount as there is in our world, which is fourteen."

Trixie asked, "Trixie would imagine that you know of a spell so that we might locate your mirror, right?"

At that, Celestia shook her head, but that didn't stop her from trying. "I could try and use a magnetic search... For anything above ground..."

Her horn glistened ever so slightly. Then, she pointed her vision towards a few hills, and Trixie began trotting. "This way, you think?"

Celestia nodded, and came walking up by her. It wouldn't take them long to reach a lonesome beach. Everything about this world seemed lonesome. However, there still rested a boat for ponies to use as transportation. Off in the distance, the island that the lighthouse sat upon could just barely be made out. Celestia gestured for Trixie to get in, and Trixie just backed away while looking up at the sky. "What is it?" Celestia asked her.

"Is the sky always like this...?"

Celestia took the time to stare up at the clouds above her, and did a one eighty while trying to find a break. There was none, however. Instead, it was a pure overcast. On the ground, everything around them was a mass jungle, but to know that civilization itself was just above them was a different feeling for Celestia. "It... must be, Trixie. Come along, my pony. We need to get over there. It looks like it's about to rain."

Trixie hopped in the boat after Celestia, and said, "With the way the weather is around here, it always looks like it's about to rain."

The sail to the lighthouse was long, but luckily they stayed dry. In time, they would reach the ladder that would lead them to the docks. Up the circular stairs they went, and once inside, Celestia commented, "Now, where's that mirror of mine?"

Just before the door, decorated upon the podium in the middle of the room was the offering bowl, and something was glistening inside of it, undoubtedly Celestia's trinket. Slowly, she picked it up with her magic, but then threw it to the floor. "Trixie supposes we don't really need that, huh?"

Celestia sighed, and admitted, "I don't plan on us coming back. Come on, let's..." She stopped to read what was above the offering bowl. These words were written neatly, as if it were a painting. "Passage into the city will start with rebirth as an earth pony. No alicorns, no pegasi, no unicorns. Don't come unless you're ready to pursue this true freedom."

Celestia looked to Trixie, and she shrugged. "Go on up the stairs."

Celestia nodded with a bit of fear creeping over her, but asked while walking, "This seems rather odd, don't you agree? How are we supposed to get into Equestria from a lighthouse?"

They reached the second floor where another sign could be found. This time, Trixie read it. "No alicorns should enter, because no alicorns exist anymore. Not since Star Swirl..." She choked while saying, "Not since they sacrificed themselves to save the world. He used the power he had collected from them to ascend the city. This would freeze the sun and the moon in place, and the city would then travel around the world instead. The removal of the alicorn princesses also made Star Swirl the Bearded nervous towards ponies having the ability to freely experiment with magic. Others will have the luxury of experimenting with better alternatives such as electricity, and chemicals to replace magic without the distraction of real magic to sate everypony's needs."

Celestia scoffed, "Sounds like ever since the city took off, he's become more and more dramatic. Think of that for a minute... Preserving the right to play with actual magic all to himself. He hasn't changed. He never was all that..."

"Friendly?" Trixie finished for Celestia. "Trixie had hoped he would be more keen to helping."

Celestia said, "He'll help me. He always does his best. It's just... give a mere pony the world, and who knows what they'll do with it. This world's Celestia must not've had any other choice."

Trixie offered, "Like Trixie's said before, we'll just have to see." She then proceeded up the third fleet of stairs with Celestia close behind her. The last room had one more message hanging on the wall. "If an alicorn ever does enter, and they're found out, they will be viewed as a false alicorn amongst Star Swirl the Bearded's fair city. All will pursue them, for magic is what almost destroyed everything so long ago. No longer will that type of magic enter this realm without the immediate consent of Star Swirl the Bearded."

Celestia said, "I guess I'll have to not draw too much attention to myself. Or, if there's a chance I'd be able to take advantage of, I might just reveal myself." She looked at Trixie, and said, "It all depends."

They continued to the top where the stairs went on further than before. When they finally did reach the peak, Trixie looked out at the vast land, and said, "I don't think this is going to work."

Celestia gulped, and looked at the bells that dangled below the light that was located in the middle. Slowly, her hoof trembled to the first which had the number one written above it. She rang it once...

Jingle

Then, she came over to the second bell which had the number two above it. The third bell also had the number two written above it, so she rang the bells accordingly.

Jingle Jingle

Jingle Jingle

The sky itself responded to this after a second or two of them waiting. It lit up in several pretty colors, and repeated the exact same tone Celestia had performed. The whole planet seemed to shake as it sounded. Once it was done, she then heard the light of the structure flicker on and off in the same rhythm, and again, the sky hummed. What happened next to say the least was startling to both Celestia and Trixie. The wall with bells on it lowered like a door, as did the light inside as well. Instead of now being blinded, the inner space was a much more cozier looking resting area for the two to enjoy.

Although something was off about this to Celestia, Trixie just wandered right on in. Along the sides were red cushioned seats for them to sit on, and Trixie took advantage of this without a moment's wait. Celestia still stayed outside, waiting to have a legitimate reason to go inside there. "Trixie," she exclaimed in a panic. "Come back! We don't know what this is!"

Trixie hoofed at her Princess, and said, "It's probably going to take us up, and into the city. Isn't that obvious?"

Celestia avoided eye contact, and explained, "I just... I'm intimidated by this. I don't want to get myself involved in something that I can't get out of."

Trixie extended her hoof, and said, "Come on over here then, because here's reason number one... Twilight needs us. Equestria needs us. So, let's go."

Celestia inhaled deeply, but then caved in, and came in to sit with Trixie. That's when the intercom sounded above their heads. "Dear passengers, mind the entry." The door on the far side of the room closed slowly with steam slipping through the cracks, and it continued. "Bliss is a city of ingenuity, inspiration, and ambition. With the removal of magic as a distraction, ponies are able to pursue other, more diverse methods of magic. Such as technology, and more."

The walls around them must've been sound proof, because all of the sudden, they were taking off with a red flare following beneath their capsule. However, there wasn't a sound except the intercom. They went higher, and higher, until they finally reached the clouds. Soon, they'd emerge from this, and see what Star Swirl is really capable of. Bliss was a town like no other.

Everything from as far as the eye could see, Equestria stretched, and mixed with itself like never before above the clouds. Parts of manehattan was linking with pieces of Las Pegasus, and more. It was remarkable, and although what Celestia and Trixie got to see was a lot to take in, they wouldn't have time to fully see it all. Not just yet. They began descending slowly, and landed, only to start sinking. Lower, and lower into some unknown building they went, until finally, they reached the bottom. The doors opened suddenly, the same way they did earlier, and the intercom said, "Welcome. Mind your step."

They did so, and came out. The room was wide, and it had a painting of Star Swirl taking up the whole entire far wall. Above it, on a golden banner, Celestia read, "To stop our world from ending, it had to be done. With their permission, I brought the world up from the brink."

Trixie rolled her eyes, and said, "Yeah, we get it. The city floats, and you're super awesome, and all that. He'd better be able to help us!"

Celestia walked by Trixie, and headed down a set of circular stairs. "Come on, then. The faster we get this over with, the sooner we can go searching for him."

the further down they went, the more Celestia noticed water seeping through the stairs to give it a special feeling. Also, it made them slow down in order for them to walk more carefully, and to look around. On the walls they went by, it listed all of Star Swirl's friends in stained glass. There was Mistmane, and Rockhoof together. Flash Magnus was next, all by himself. Then, finally, Somnambula and Mage Meadowbrook.

Further and further, Celestia and Trixie wandered, until they finally reached a wide, and open room. The floor was like a small pool, where the water only went up to Trixie's knees, if that. Further towards what must've been the entrance to the city was a much bigger body of water, and several ponies who were all dressed in white gowns. They all prayed around somepony dressed in black, where the water went up to his chest. He continued to chant, "And every year on this day of days, we pay homage to our fair unicorn, Star Swirl. Lo, if this unicorn hadn't vanquished the freshly developing darkness long ago before it could have acquired a vessel, it would have been enough. If this unicorn had just vanquished the darkness, but not accepted the gifts of his fellow dying ponies to experiment with as en elixir of life, it would have been enough..."

Celestia came closer, as did Trixie, and the unicorn asked quietly, "How long could this speech be?"

"If this unicorn had accepted the gifts of his fellow ponies, and not requested aid from the Princesses themselves, it would have been enough. If this unicorn had only requested help from the Princesses, and didn't bother to take us to this new kingdom, it would have been enough. If this unicorn had just led us to this new kingdom, and not warned the Princesses of the even more dangerous threat that was looming, it would have been enough. If this unicorn had only warned the Princesses of the looming threat, and not helped them in sacrificing themselves to stop the madness, it would have been enough. If this unicorn had just stopped the madness, and not used the left over energy to finally lift everything else up as well, it would have been enough!"

Finally, he stopped, and Celestia tapped somepony on the shoulder to get their attention. As one by one began moving out of the Princess's way, the two of them came up to the pastor, and he only blinked at her with white spots in his eyes.

"Is it someone new?" he asked aloud. "Someone from the nothingness that is below us all? You two are newly coming to Bliss, the city that sails high above the clouds. You must be here to wash away your horns, and your wings as worship to this unicorn, his fellow ponies, and our lord?"

Celestia blinked, and asked, "Our lord? Without alicorns, there are no lords. There are only ponies."

The pastor laughed, and said, "You don't seem to be of faith. In time, you'll understand, but there's such a thing here... called God. This higher being is what we pray to, because that's the very being Star Swirl believes in. Ever since the passing of the alicorns, ponies have gripped onto things they can believe in. He gave us that perspective."

Celestia sighed, and said, "We just need passage into the city."

The preacher shook his head while rubbing his chin, and asked rhetorically, "Passage to the city? Ha-ha. Sister... The only way into Bliss is through rebirth in these sweet waters." He extended a hoof to the two of them, and Celestia just bit her bottom lip while grunting. Trixie, however, came right on up. Celestia watched as this preacher dunked Trixie sideways without so much as a word. Then, his hooves came up, but not Trixie. Celestia looked around, and under the water, but she was just gone.

Again, the preacher extended his hoof to her. Underneath her breath, she whispered, "It's either this or turn around and get back on that rocket."

Once their hooves connected at last, Celestia heard one of the others boldly exclaim, "Praise the lord."

She was reeled in, and the preacher held Celestia close, feeling her wings while observing her horn. "Uh-huh..."

"Hey," Celestia said, trying to get him to loosen up on her.

He refused to cooperate, though, and said to the others as if this were part of his original speech, "I baptize you now, in the name of this unicorn, in the name of his fellow ponies, and in the name of our Lord!"

Down Celestia went, and into the holy water. She gargled a little as some liquids got into her mouth and nostrils. Then, up she came, coughing and gagging. Something wasn't right about this water.

"Make her born again, in the bosom of Bliss..."

Celestia felt different, but the slow and sudden feeling of it all wouldn't compare to the sensation that was coming next. "I... c-can barely..."

"I don't know, brothers and sisters, but this one doesn't look clean to me!"

This time, he grabbed her by the maw, and held onto it while sinking Celestia further than what the pool really was just prior. He then covered up her eyes, and seemed to let go of her after awhile. Soon, the fear of drowning went away. The Princess was starting to drift in and out of consciousness.

Eventually, Celestia started to hear Trixie yelling her name. Over and over again, the show mare would say it, until Princess Celestia came to it. She choked the water out from her lungs, and stood up in the daylight feeling disoriented. Trixie assisted her up a quick flight of stairs. She brought Celestia to a nearby bench, and sat her down to rest. Celestia just kept holding onto her head, dazed by what had just happened. She felt lighter, too, for some reason.

It wasn't until she glanced up at Trixie that she realized what had really happened. Trixie was missing her horn. Soon, Celestia was feeling her bare backside, and her forehead where her horn once was. It was gone, and so were her wings. "Oh... Wow..."

Celestia gulped nervously, and Trixie asked her, "Didn't you know this was going to happen?"

Celestia just nodded, but she then stated, "I just hadn't expected it to actually... I don't know what I was thinking."

She stood up, and looked around. They were in an enclosed garden, with birds jumping from tree to tree, and religious ponies all wandering around, talking to one another, and glancing back a few times at Celestia who was still forming into an earth pony. She was much smaller, and when she crossed the path to go look at her reflection in a nearby pond, she saw that even her complexion was younger. She turned around, and looked down at Trixie, and said, "I... was taller. Right?"

Trixie nodded, and said, "Yeah, so no magic."

Celestia gulped again, and said, "Come on, Trixie. Let's just go."

On the way to the door, Celestia heard a pair of ponies arguing. One of them stated, "Our Lord fills our lungs with water so that they may better love the air. You of all ponies should know that!"

Celestia chose to avoid contact, and when far enough away, she whispered to Trixie before coming up to the door, "Just because the city flies doesn't mean it's without its fair share of fools."
