Trixie looked at us, her eyes were red as blood.

“Bow before the Great and Powerful Trixie!” She shot a beam at us. For a second I thought that actually got us, but when I opened my eyes I saw Rarity shielding us with her crystal barrier. Just in time, you may say. I asked her where Steely Armor was but she didn’t answers. Trixie was piercing through our defense. Then Fluttershy arrived with two raccoons! It was as surprising for us as it was for Trixie.

“So, when should I tell them to take it?” she asked softly. It was then that Rarity shouted: “JUST THROUGH THEM AT HER!”

She did so, and they started to scratch all over her face, but in the end they couldn’t take the amulet from her. We didn’t know what to do. And it was then that Steely Armor arrived with his ECHO launcher, but it wasn’t just a spearhead, but a whole spear or staff.

“Stand back!” he told us. “ You couldn’t just let me arrive!”

“Of course not, if we hadn’t done something she would have-“ I was saying but Rarity cut me off.

“JUST HURRY UP, I CAN’T HOLD IT ANY MORE! AAAGH!” she was saying as her barrier broke. She passed out on the ground motionless. And Trixie just started to compliment herself for doing so.

“I...THE GREAT AND POWERFUL TRIXIE will rule over the whole world and no one is strong and powerful enough to stop me.”

Steely Armor sighed, adjusted his goggles and fixed his hat on his head, “ I guess it’s time for plan B.” Then he moved his fingers in the air as he was typing something. Then he held his staff tight and shouted, “As a matter of fact, I am!”

“What!?”

“I am here to stop you!” He then raised the staff, and two other Steely Armor showed up from the end of the hallway and they said the same things! “What is going on?!” I asked myself when I was looking at Twilight and Applejack.

“Am I seein’ double, or is there actually two of him now?” Applejack said as she pointed at them. Trixie was confused and didn’t know what to do. She was looking from one Steely Armor to another Steely Armor again and again. Then they all started moving with their staffs in their hands and she was following all three of them with her eyes. Then one of them pointed his staff at her but she shot first and blasted him to the wall. But what he saw next wasn’t a human, but a skeleton!

“Fluttershy Now!” Steely Armor shouted, and shot a beam from his staff which made Trixie freeze in place like someone pausing a movie. Then the raccoons took the amulet with ease. When he unfroze her everything was back to normal.

“Wh-what happened? I didn’t mean to, I....I’m sorry!”

I went to her and hugged her. “We know you didn’t, but you sure did some damage.” And it was then that Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash and Rarity woke up.

“Did I just miss the cool part?” Rainbow Dash said as she looked at us. Then I thought to ask Steely Armor about the skeleton that was him!

“So what was all that about?” I pointed at it.

The one that shot the beam looked at me while the other one took the amulet from the raccoons. “Allow me to introduce you to the cloney!” the one with the amulet turned into a skeleton and stood next to him.
