Celestia frowned as she was reading an urgent report from one her scouts, they had discovered a massive factory deep in the mountains far to the west and that suspect it was one of the factories used to manufacture the Mechas.

Celestia frowned as she cast a spell, it was time for her to test her daughter for future events. Twilight entered the room in her armoured form and smiled “Mum, you summoned me for something.”

Celestia nodded “We have located a factory deep in the Great Bravery Mountains, it appears that the factory has been producing a large multitude of Mechas. I wish for you to bring down the facility.”

Twilight smiled “I’ll be on my way.”

Celestia pulled out a small module and inserted it into her arm “This will help you get through small gaps and give you a different form to engage enemies. The details on how to use it are on the chip so you won’t have to learn it, it also contains the co-ordinates of the location.”

Twilight nodded with a smile as she beamed out of the castle “I’ll be back soon.” She landed outside a large factory, she kicked open the door only to be standing in a strange looking forest. She ducked as an arrow coursing with lightning flew by, Twilight mumbled as her hand changed into a blaster “Glad Sunset gave me those circuit hardening enhancements or else I would be in trouble.”

Twilight turned to see a several Mechas in the tree with arrows at a ready, Twilight dodged the arrows and obliterated them with three shots from her blaster. She headed deeper into the forest, the large pristine green trees and pretty flowers covered the landscape. It was a strange experience.

The area was largely barren, it was not long before she found a large out of place metal door. She opened it only to see a tall lightning rood wrapped in steel coils wearing a suit with a monocle covering on of his eyes “It seems someone shouldn’t be here, that said I hate to get my hand dirty so how about we talk before we exchange blows.”

Twilight frowned “Explain why are you here? I know that this facility is one of the ones to construct those that launched the previous attacks on Mysteria. Who are you working for?”

The being smiled “Well first off I’m Lightning Spring, and we’re here at the behest of Winter Stardream. She plans to wipe out all life save herself and Mechas, she will rule for her mortal life then the world will only house Mechas. Sadly you are in the way of our ambitions.”

Twilight frowned “I can’t let you do that, I can’t let innocent people suffer simply because there are bad people out there.”

Spring bounced backwards “Very well, then we have to fight.” Spring began firing bolts of Lightning at Twilight who rapidly dodged each of the as fired shots out of her blaster towards him. She decided to bring the fight to a close as she drew her blade and with single teleport she was in front of him She cut him in half with a single swing, she took a small weapons chip, gaining the lightning spring ability.

She was about to press on only for a red flash of light to appear behind her, she turned around to see a blue girl with red eyes wearing a wizard’s costume grinning “So you’re Twilight Sparkle. I’m Trixie Lulamoon, I was created by Winter Stardream to destroy you and everything you represent.”

Before Twilight could respond Trixie had punched her into the wall before delivering a powerful uppercut sending her skyward only to teleport above her and hammered her back into the ground. Twilight groaned in pain as Trixie landed in front of her with a fearsome grin as her hand transformed into a blaster which began charging up energy “Is that all the famed Daughter of the Sun has to offer? How sad. Oh well I guess it’s time I wipe out your pathetic existence.”

Twilight could hear a voice a familiar voice in her head (Are you really willing to let her beat you so easily! You beat me thoroughly not that long ago, you have my power and your own. You have the potential to be more than this!)

Twilight could see Blade in her mindscape (How are you here?)

Blade laughed (I moved my files onto my weapons chip from where I was stored, evolve and adapt to my power.) He then gave her a serious look (You just need to release it and adapt the Lightning Spring’s powers as well. Become more.)

Twilight nodded as she felt the power of the Blade and Spring coursing through her systems, her purple armour growing thicker and stronger. She stood up and punched Trixie away, her eyes narrowed (So Blade why did you change your mind.)

Blade frowned (I am a warrior, I believed I was liberating us so we could become something more but then I saw your strength. You were strong despite those around you, I just kept quiet until now.)

Twilight blocked one of Trixie’s punches before kicking her away. She then began firing powerful spells at Trixie tearing holes in her body, Trixie was about to attack again only to beamed away in a flash of light. Only for a woman’s face to appear on a screen on one of the walls. Twilight frowned “I assume you must be Winter Stardream?”

Winter nodded with a sigh “Neither of us are right or wrong in my eyes Twilight. We both have conflicting ideals that we are unwilling to compromise on, so prove to me the strength of your convictions and make it to me if you can.” The screen then turned off.

Meanwhile as Twilight moved into the next area Trixie growled “Why did you pull me back here?!”

Winter slumped tears flowing from her eyes“You’re something special, irreplaceable and I can’t bare to lose you. You were made with the power to change this world, you are something more precious than anything else I have ever built. Don’t throw your life away recklessly, you are my gift to this world regardless of whether my plans succeed or fail.”

Trixie remained quiet for a moment before she smiled “Thanks Mum.” Winter placed a hand over her heart softly as Trixie left the room.
