WarMachine Saga

"I said who are you?" Asked Trixie as she got angrier.

"My names Thomas" I said. "What's yours?" I asked.

"You dont know who I am?" Asked Trixie.

"Cant say that I do" I lied.

"I am the great and powerful Trixie!" She boasted.

"Who?" I asked. She immediately shot me with a teleportation spell, boosted in power by the amulet. When the spell faded I was outside off Ponyville and saw she already put the dome up around it.

"Thomas?" Asked Twilight from my left.

"Sup twilight" I said.

"If your here that means the Alicorn Amulet must be an Infinity Stone right?" Asked Twi.

"Yep" I said. "My moneys on Mind or Soul going off of the way It's corrupting her" I continued. "More likely Mind considering it's past of being used to corrupt peoples minds" I concluded.

"Alright" said Twi.

"How do we get it away from her then?" Asked Twi. "So we can get her back to normal and you can get that stone" she continued.

"Trixie's a full tilt diva that's completely obsessed with herself" I said. "The only way she's giving up the Alicorn Amulet is if we give her something more powerful" I continued.

"Or we could trick her with something that's useless and claim it's more powerful then the Alicorn Amulet" said Karen.

"That's actually not that bad of an idea" said Twi. "Follow me, I know someone who can help" she continued as she walked towards the Everfree Forest.

About 30 minutes later

We walked up to a hut and Twi knocked on the door. When the door opened a zebra I recognized as Zecora greeted us. "Twilight my friend" said Zecora. "What can I do for you?" She asked. 'Thank Primus' I thought. 'She doesn't speak in rhymes in this universe, that shit would of got annoying fast' I thought.

"We need your help with something" said Twi.

"What my friend?" Asked Zecora.

"A pony by the name of Trixie Lulamoon came into possession of an ancient relic created by King Sombra called the Alicorn Amulet and we need to get it away from her" said Twi. "We were hoping that you could give us something we could pretend is a more powerful relic so we can trick her into a trade" she continued.

"I can do that" said Zecora as she walked into her hut and came back with a staff that I recognized as Discord's.

"How did you get that?" I asked.

"Story for another day my friend" said Zecora. "Take this, it's useless now with out it's Infinity Stone" she continued. "But the stones signature still radiates from it so she should by the deception" she concluded.

"Thanks Zecora" said Twi as she took the staff. "I ow ya one" she continued.

"No need my friend" said Zecora. "Now go save your town and this Trixie from herself" she continued as we left.

About 30 minutes later

As we exited the forest I set of an explosion at the base of the dome to hopefully get Trixie's attention. A couple of minutes later she walked up to the dome and saw the two of us. "What do you two want?" Asked Trixie.

"I challenge you to a magic duel" said Twilight. "Winner gets the other's magic relic" she continued holding up the staff.

"Ha, fine" said Trixie. "I'll enjoy beating you in a duel Sparkle" she continued. She let us both through the dome and her and Twi got into position for there duel.

"Fighter ready?" I asked.

"Yep" said Trixie.

"As I'll ever be" said Twi.

"Both fighters are ready" I said. "Fight!" I yelled. Trixie fired the first spell but Twi dodged and fired a spell of her own and hit Trixie. Trixie rapid fired spells but Twi kept dodging them. When Twi would fire spells back she would keep hitting Trixie.

"How are you winning?!?" Asked a very pissed off Trixie.

"I've got the more powerful relic that's how" said Twi.

"That's a load of crap!" Said Trixie.

"Is it?" Asked Twi as she fired at Trixie again. Trixie managed to dodge that attack but not the second one. She got hit and fell to the ground.

"Fine, Trixie will give you the Alicorn Amulet" said Trixie. "But only if you give me that staff" she continued.

"Only if you leave Ponyville" said Twi.

"Deal" said Trixie. She took off the Alicorn Amulet and handed it to Twi as Twi handed her the staff. Twi then walked over to me and gave me the Alicorn Amulet. Trixie looked at us confused.

"What's going on?" Asked Trixie.

"That's just a stick" I said. I smashed the Alicorn Amulet into the ground and a yellow stone fell out. "I'll be taking this" I said as I slotted it into the groove under my ring finger. Trixie then realized that I had three very powerful relics and she had been tricked and indeed only had a stupid stick. "Now I suggest you either apologize to the whole town or leave" I said. "Now" I continued as I showed off all three Infinity Stones. With out saying a word Trixie ran out of the town.

"I take it your leaving again?" Asked Twilight.

"Yep" I said. "But don't worry Twi" I continued. "I'll be back" I continued. "How long has it been sense last I showed up by the way?" I asked.

"Just over a year" said Twi. "Why?" She asked.

"That makes twice where I was fast forwarded roughly a year" I said.

"So we'll see you again in roughly a year?" Asked Twi.

"If the pattern hold, yes" I said. "Later Twi" I continued as I blasted off to the Treebrary.

10 minutes later

I had arrived at the Treebrary about seven minutes ago and had been laying here for about Six minutes when I finally fell asleep. I once again awoke in Lady Death's void. "Death" I said.

"Thomas" said Lady Death. "Are you ready?" She asked.

"Yes ma'am" I said. I fell unconscious again. I woke up just in time to see Starlight Glimmer of all ponies disappear through a portal. I stood up and realized I was in the Castle of Friendship.

"Thomas!" Said Spike and Twi at the same time.

"Sup guys?" I asked.

"It's a long story" said Twi. "Also it's been two and a half years sense the magic duel, so you lied to me" she continued.

"I didn't realize it would be this long between Infinity Stone appearances" I said. Spike walked over to a scroll that was on the Cutie Map. Spike picked it up and the portal Starlight disappeared through opened again. "Damn it" I said as we got sucked into the portal.
