The Sinner of Equestria

Operation Three

Fight for your Freedom

Hours had passed since the group began their work of disposing of the body and collecting the treasure from the dragon’s cave. On Trixie’s and Gilda’s side, they were successful in collecting the treasure left behind by the dragon thanks to the storage cube the bat pony gave them. As the two were making their way outside of the cave, they noticed Adelle cutting into the body of the dead dragon and placing something inside it in different areas of the body.

“I’m afraid to ask, but what is she doing?” Trixie asked as they both watched the bat pony walk away from the body.

“I have no idea, but she’s putting something inside of the dragon’s body…why do I have a feeling this might end badly.” She said before noticing Adelle jumping off of the dragon and quickly heading over to Trixie and Gilda. “Do I dare ask what you’re going to do?”

“Isn’t it obvious? I’m going to blow the dragon up.” She answered.

“Oh, okay…wait what!?” Trixie yelled as she looked over at the dragon for a moment before looking at Adelle who was aiming for the dead dragon with her sniper rifle.

“I’m going to blow the dragon up. Can’t leave it here without someone noticing my work, right?” The unicorn and griffon looked at each other with shocked expressions on their faces as they quickly ran back to take cover from the explosion after Adelle fired at one of the bombs. Guts and debris flew in different directions on the plateau they were on. Within a matter of seconds, Trixie and Gilda popped their heads from behind the rock they were hiding behind as the color on their fur and feathers turned pale upon seeing the bloodbath that used to be the dragon.

“Hm, might’ve gone with a bit too much explosives on my part, but I suppose this will do,” Adelle said before looking over at the unicorn and griffon. “You two alright?”

“Other than witnessing a murder scene being made…I think we’re fine.” Gilda said before noticing Trixie fainting off to the side. “...Well I’m fine, I don’t know about her.”

“In her defense, I’m pretty sure she has never seen anything like this before.” The bat pony said before walking over to Trixie. Once she was there, she reached into her pocket to pull out a small rectangular bar and snapped it near her nose. Within a matter of seconds, a loud gasp escaped Trixie’s mouth as she woke up.

“Mother of Celestia! What in Equestria is that horrible smell!?” Trixie yelled as she let out a small coughing fit.

“Smelling salt is useful when waking someone up. Got everything we need?” She asked as Gilda nodded.

“Looks like it given how we didn’t see anything else inside. Seriously, there has to be like a million bits that the dragon was hoarding.”

“Alright, then I’ll start cleaning up the remains so we can-”

“The explosion came from up here!” yelled a tomboyish voice as the bat pony’s ear twitched upon hearing that. She soon looked over to the direction the sound was coming from as she saw a cyan-colored pegasus with a rainbow mane wearing a white tank top and navy blue shorts. The moment she saw the blood scene in front of her, her eyes widened before quickly bolting down the cliff.

“...Um…who was that?” Adelle asked before noticing an annoyed expression on Gilda and Trixie’s faces.

“Rainbow Dash, my former friend that I mentioned yesterday,” Gilda answered before hearing Trixie speak up.

“And if she’s here, then you know that Twilight and her other friends are here,” Trixie said before hearing the sound of a teleportation spell going off. Looking off to where the pegasus flew off to, she had returned with a purple unicorn with long dark indigo hair with streaks of purple and pink wearing a long-sleeved dress shirt and a dark purple dress. Next to her was a yellowish cream colored pegasus wearing a green long-sleeve sweater and a pink dress with butterflies on it. Beside her was a white unicorn with violet-colored hair wearing a dress with a diamond pattern across the lower right part of the dress. On the right of Twilight stood a pink-colored mare with pink curly hair wearing a pink shirt and blue overalls over it. Next to the pink pony was an orange earth pony with a dark orange tank top, blue bell bottom shorts, and a brown stetson on her head.
The moment they saw the scattered remains of the dragon’s body, the color on their furs turned pale as the white unicorn turned to the side and threw up.

“Dear Celestia,” Twilight said as she looked over the scene in horror and disgust. It was only when she noticed Trixie and Gilda was when her attention was locked on them. “Trixie, Gilda, what are you two doing here? Did you two have something to do with this?”

“Of course not. We just so happen to come across this place due to Trixie trying to perform teleportation magic.” Trixie said as she noticed a deadpan expression on Applejack’s face.

“That’s a bald-faced lie. Especially given how y’all are here on top of the mouth.” Applejack said as she pointed a finger at some of the blood on their attire. “The proof is on your clothes.”

“Yeah! So start talking or else you’ll be eating a knuckle sandwich!” Rainbow Dash added as Gilda cracked her knuckles.

“I would like to see you try, feather brain!” Gilda said as she was about to take a step forward, only for Adelle to stop them by extending a hand in front of the griffon.

“Now's not the time for pointless scrabble, we got what we came for, so let’s just leave and be on our way,” Adelle said as she was about to leave, only for the Rainbow Dash to quickly move in front of her.

“And what’s that supposed to mean?”

“We came here to get treasure from the dragon. He didn’t want to cooperate or share some of his treasure. So in retaliation for attacking me, I killed him.” She said which took her along with the other girls by surprise.

“You…k-kill that dragon?” Fluttershy said as Adelle nodded. “W-Why!?”

“Like I said, we needed treasure, he wouldn’t give it to us, so I killed him in retaliation for attacking us as we were about to leave,” Adelle said as she moved past Rainbow Dash. “Trixie, Gilda, we’re leaving.” She said before continuing to walk away, only to pause upon hearing Fluttershy speak up.

“How could you kill that poor defenseless dragon!” Fluttershy yells as she appears in front of Adelle with a stern expression on her face. “He was just minding his own business and then you showed up and killed him just because you wanted his treasure!? You should be ashamed of yourself! Didn’t anypony tell you that hurting other ponies is wrong!?

“Not my fault the dragon chose to attack us,” Adelle answered before trying to move from in front of Fluttershy, only for the pegasus to move in front of the bat pony. “Look, I’m not in the mood to deal with your self-righteous attitude right now. I’m giving you a chance to walk away and go back to whatever it is you’re doing. Otherwise, you don’t want to find out what will happen to you and your friends.”

“Not by a long shot kid,” Applejack said as she made her way behind Adelle. “If you did kill that dragon, then somepony as dangerous as you ain’t going anywhere.”

“Applejack’s right. We can’t in good conscience let you three wonder Equestria on your own.” Twilight said as Adelle let out a sigh of annoyance before looking over at Trixie and Gilda.

“I had enough of this, we’re leaving.” She said while pushing past Fluttershy, only to stop when she felt the cream-colored pegasus place a hand on her shoulder.

“Listen to when somepony is talking to-” Before Fluttershy could finish her sentence, the sound of her sniper rifle went off as Adelle fired a bullet into her abdomen. It didn’t register to Fluttershy for a moment until she placed a hand where she felt the pain radiating from. Pulling away, she saw that her hand was covered in blood. She looked down to see that blood was being absorbed into her shirt and started to hyperventilate for a moment before collapsing to the ground and letting out screams of pain.

“Fluttershy!” yelled Twilight and her friends as the bat pony aimed Fluttershy once again, only for her to move out of the way as Rainbow Dash tried to deliver a punch to her face.

“You’re going to pay for that, you jerk!” Rainbow Dash yelled as she charged at Adelle in an attempt to deliver a haymaker to her face. The bat pony easily dodged the haymaker as she replaced her sniper rifle with a pair of brass knuckle-type weapons. The moment she was within striking range, the bat pony countered with three quick jabs.

Two of her jabs connect to Rainbow Dash’s left cheek and the third to her chin. The cyan pegasus recoiled back from the pain she felt and was about to charge at her again, only for her legs to give out and fall to the ground. “W-What the!? W-Why can’t I move!?”

“Didn’t you take some kind of anatomy class? Hitting someone in the chin hard enough will knock them out, but in your case it caused your brain to rattle inside your head, making you disoriented…if you even have a brain that is.” Adelle answered as she smirked at the downed pegasus trying to pull herself up, but fell back onto the ground. She soon turns her attention to her friends as she quickly pulls her arm up to intercept a lasso coming at her throat. The lasso soon wraps around Adelle’s arms as she feels Applejack pulling her in with surprising strength.

“Y’all not gonna hurt my friends and get away with it!” Applejack yelled as she continued to pull Adelle in. Once she was within grabbing range, the farm pony quickly grabbed her by the throat and lifted her. The bat pony glared down at Applejack as she delivered multiple left hooks to the farm pony’s face, which had little to no effect on her.

“Dammit, didn’t think someone like her would be this strong.” Adelle thought before getting the wind knocked out of her after Applejack slammed her onto the ground.

“Now stay down and think about what you’ve done,” Applejack said as she released her hold on Adelle and turned her attention to Trixie and Gilda. “As for you two, y’all in a lot of trouble if you two are behind tricking this kid into killing that dragon.”

“I’d be more worried about yourself than us, country bumpkin,” Gilda said as she pointed a finger at Adelle. Applejack looked down at Adelle as her eyes widened upon seeing some kind of strange device placed on her. A smirk appeared on Adelle’s face as she punched the sticky grenade she placed on the farm pony’s abdomen. The grenade let out a small glow before exploding as the force behind it sent the two tumbling backward due to her having the setting of the grenade reduced. The moment she stopped herself, she quickly pulled herself up to scan the area of who was doing what. From what she could see, Twilight and Rarity were currently tending to Fluttershy’s bullet wound, Rainbow Dash was currently still trying to stand on her two feet with Pinkie Pie’s assistance, Applejack slowly pulled herself up from the ground after the sudden grenade to her stomach, and Trixie and Gilda were slowly making their way behind a nearby boulder as a means to stay hidden.

“Other than the farm pony, rainbow girl, and bookworm, the others aren’t a major threat.” Adelle thought as she stretched her limbs a bit. “Last chance to leave. Is one life of a dragon worth this much trouble?”

“How can you be so nonchalant about this?” Twilight asked as she finished treating Fluttershy’s wound as best as she could. “Don’t you realize that you took another pony’s life?”

“Technically a dragon’s life, but in our defense. We would’ve just left if he hadn’t attacked us or parted with some of his money. But hey, you gotta do what you can to survive with the reputation that we have.” She answered before noticing Twilight standing up. “Look, I’m giving you girls one more chance, leave now and you won’t have to see us ever again.”

“Like we said before, we can't let you leave knowing that you could be a threat to somepony else,” Twilight said as her horn began to glow. “I’m sure Princess Celestia will be merciful and be willing to give you a reasonable punishment if you surrender.”

"Fine. Let it be known that I gave you the chance to leave just like I did with the dragon." Adelle said before quickly dodging a magical beam from Twilight’s horn. The moment she dodged it, her ears picked up the sound of wings flapping as she looked over to her right to see Rainbow Dash heading her way.

“Got you this time you little punk!” She yelled as she tackled Adelle to the ground. “Twilight! Hit her with a knockout spell or something-” Before the pegasus could finish, the bat pony delivered a right hook to her liver, causing her to let out a yell of pain before being thrown off by another punch to her liver again. Once Rainbow Dash was off her, Adelle quickly jumped to her feet before quickly lunging herself toward the downed pegasus to deliver a bone-crushing punch to her face, only to recoil back due to hitting a barrier made by Twilight. The bat pony soon felt herself being pulled away from the barrier and was headed towards Twilight with a large box made out of her magic next to her.

Before she was about to be placed inside the box made out of magic, the bat pony quickly materialized a flash grenade and tossed it at Twilight’s face. Once it was close to her face, a bright flash of light erupted causing Twilight to go blind as her hold on Adelle and the box she made vanished. The moment the bat pony saw that the unicorn was blind, she quickly delivered a right hook to the purple unicorn’s face as she heard the sound of bone cracking. Judging by the impact of it, Adelle could only guess that she broke the mare’s nose as she watched her roll around on the ground in pain.

“Y’all gonna pay for that!” Applejack yelled as she threw a lasso around Adelle’s neck while she was distracted. Once the lasso was around her neck, she let out a gagging noise before feeling herself being pulled off her feet into the air. “Pinkie Pie, now!”

“Eat this!” Yelled Pinkie Pie as the bat pony looked over to her left to see Pinkie Pie aiming a cannon at her. Adelle’s eyes widened upon seeing the cannon off to her right as she braced herself for impact. She was soon hit with what was expected to be a cannonball, but instead was hit a an assortment of cake batter, party streamers, confetti, and all sorts of miscellaneous items you would expect from a birthday party as she fell to the ground and was covered in a mountain of it with a cherry on top. There was a moment of silence hanging in the air before Adelle slowly made her way out of the pile of birthday mush with an annoyed expression on her face as she looked over at the party pony.

“Seriously…out of all the things you could’ve used to stop me, and this was the best you could think of?” Adelle asked while wiping off cake batter off her face. "You fucked up big time, fatty. Now I am going to punch your face in until it's nothing more than-" Before Adelle could finish her threat, she felt something hard hit me at the back of my head. Looking behind herself, she saw Rarity levitating a bunch of rocks around her.

“You uncouth ruffian! Stay away from Pinkie Pie!" She said while throwing another rock at the bat pony as she cocked her head to the side to avoid it.

“Look, you guys started this fight the moment you chose to not mind your own business.” She said before dodging another rock to the head. “You only have yourselves to blame for the beatdown that’s going to happen. Now I suggest you start running otherwise I am going to-” Before she could finish, she casually dodged another rock to her head as an annoyed expression was now plastered on the bat pony’s face. “Will you stop throwing rocks at me you stupid horse!”

“Excuse me!? Who are you calling a horse!? I am an elegant lady with much better class than you do you brute!”

“Oh yeah, you’re elegant…if you’re on sale for a cheap discount,” Adelle added before noticing an eye twitch from Rarity. She soon noticed the rocks that she was floating and soon turned into gems as she pointed the sharp parts of them at the bat pony. “...Okay that’s new.”

While Adelle was busy surviving an onslaught of gems either grazing her skin or piercing through parts of her body, Gilda and Trixie were currently watching from behind a nearby boulder in a mix of astonishment and slight fear. On one hand, you see a seventeen-year-old girl from another world handling her own against six ponies that were tasked to defend Equestria. And on the other hand, you never would’ve expected to see a white marshmallow turn a shade of red in anger and attack someone with such brutality.

"Are you seeing this?" asked Gilda.

"Trixie can not believe what she is seeing, but she's seeing it.”

"Should we do something?"

"Trixie believes we should, but she doesn't have a plan at the moment."

"Well we gotta think of something fast, I mean look at her," Gilda said as she pointed at Adelle who was using her brass knuckles to punch or block the ongoing barrage of gems hitting her. Trixie placed a hand to her chin as she began to think of an idea to aid them. Within a matter of a minute, a grin appeared on her face as she looked back at the griffon.

"Trixie has an idea on how to help her…but she will need your help in this endeavor."

"And what is that?" asked Gilda, raising an eyebrow at the unicorn who motioned for her to follow after her. While the two began their plan of escape, Adelle was busy dealing with the seamstress as she switched out her binding thorns with her shielding thorns to create a wall in front of her to protect her from the gems. The moment the barrier was made, she returned to her binding thorns, and barrels to the left of the wall of thorns. Once she had a clear shot of Rarity, she shot out a thread of thorns at the seamstress as she was bound in place.

“What are these awful things!?” Rarity yelled while struggling to break free.

“Okay, guess I shouldn’t have let my guard down with her…or piss her off for that matter-”

“Surprise!” Pinkie yelled as the bat pony turned around and was met with a pie to the face. The pan that the pie was in fell to the ground as Adelle glared daggers at the pink pony.

“...I’m going to hurt you know…I don’t know when I’ll stop…but I can tell you that you’ll be in a world of hurt once I’m done.” Adelle said as she was about to get a running start at Pinkie Pie, only for Applejack to latch her lasso onto the bat pony’s arm and pull her close as she ended up in a bear hug by the farm pony. Once in the bear hug, Adelle would struggle to get out of Applejack’s iron-clad grip by kicking her in the legs.

"It'll take more than that to release my hold on you kid. Give up now, there's no way you'll escape."

"Then I guess I'll have to improvise!" The bat pony yelled as she used her binding thorns and quickly had them latch onto the farm pony's body. This took the earth pony by surprise as she felt restrained by the red glowing thorns and released her hold on Adelle. "That should keep you there for a while."

"Concarnit, what is this stuff!?" Applejack yelled as she tried to break free from her bindings. Her ears twitch upon hearing something coming from behind as she quickly jumps into the air. Looking down she saw Rainbow Dash trying to tackle her again, but missed. She soon heard the sound of a beam going off and quickly twisted her body around to avoid a magical beam from her right before landing back on the ground. On the right, she could see Twilight staggering to keep herself up while holding a broken/bloody nose with one hand as she was glaring at Adelle.

"Ok Adelle, think. You took down three of them and now there are only three left...well two seeing how that pink pony can't fight worth a damn. Getting around the pegasus won't be an issue, but the unicorn is another story seeing how she can use her magic to pin me down or restrain me like before." Just as she was about to make her move, Adelle noticed Trixie in the background making weird body movements saying ‘get into the air.’ "I'm going to assume they have a plan of escape." She thought before turning her attention to Twilight, Pinkie Pie, and Rainbow Dash.

"Welp, it's been fun and all. But I'll be taking my leave." Adelle said as she noticed Rainbow Dash coming after like a bullet. The bat pony in return pulled out another flash grenade and slammed it onto the ground causing the four ponies that were still standing to cover their eyes again. Adelle launched herself into the air with the help of a nearby boulder off to the side. While in the air, she notices Gilda flying at her telling her to put her hands up. She did as she was told and put her hands into the air, and Gilda grabbed them.

"Hey, you seemed to be able to handle yourself fighting them," Gilda answered. "You're not hurt are you dweeb?" Gilda asked as she and Adelle landed where Trixie was just as the light from the flash grenade disappeared.

"No serious injuries other than a few bruises and my pride taking a beating due to the pink pony and white unicorn." The bat pony answered while rubbing her neck. "Okay, so now what?"

"The Great And Powerful Trixie will teleport us out of here," said Trixie giving off a short victory pose.

"Okay...Why didn't you teleport us out of here sooner?" Gilda asked.

"Because Trixie wasn't expecting Twilight and her friends to be here. Plus, it takes a while to gather enough magic to teleport the three of us."

"Whatever, let's just go before we get-." Before Gilda could finish her sentence, the rock they were hiding behind was moved. "caught...horse apples."

"There you are!" said Twilight. "Now surrender or else."

"Flash Bang!" Adelle yelled as she reached into her pocket and threw a flash grenade at Twilight, only for the unicorn to teleport it.

“Nice try, but you’ll need to do better then-” The sound of a gun being fired cut the unicorn off as Adelle made her brass knuckles disappear, quickly materialized a revolver into her hand, and fired a bullet into Twilight’s shoulder. Upon being hit, Twilight lost her magical grip around the rock Adelle, Trixie, and Gilda were hiding behind as it landed back on the ground.

“I don’t have the patience to deal with these self-proclaimed heroes.” She said before looking over at Trixie. “Get us the hell out of here, because I am this close to committing murder…only this time it won’t be out of self-defense.”

"Trixie is working on it. She needs a few more seconds to build up some more magic." While Trixie was building her magic, Adelle saw something coming at her from the corner of her eyes charging at her.

"You’re not going anyway, not while I’m around!” said Rainbow Dash.

"Dammit," In a state of panic. Instead of using her Shielding thorn to block the oncoming attack, Adelle materialized a blue and white colored longsword and used it as a means to block Rainbow Dash’s kick. As the attack made contact with the long sword, Adelle was soon sent flying backward into a boulder.

“Ha! Bet you weren’t expecting that!?” Rainbow Dash yelled with a grin on her face. It wouldn’t have mattered much in Adelle’s case seeing how the impact from the kick and colliding with the boulder, caused her to go deaf temporarily as all she could hear was a high-pitched ringing noise.

"D...Dammit, I didn’t take into account Rainbow Dash’s speed." Adelle thought as her vision was getting blurry and was on the verge of passing out. Though the moment she tried to pull herself up, she felt a surge of pain radiating in her chest. Upon looking down with most of the vision returning, she could see part of her sword embedded into her chest. “....Oh shit…Were it not for the auto-healing augmentation, I'd be dead within seconds. I'll have to use the healing thorns just to make sure I didn't bleed out to death...but I don't have much strength left to even pull that off….this is not how I wanted my second life to end…”

"Thought you took out the great Rainbow Dash? Well, guess again chump." Rainbow Dash said before noticing Twilight, Applejack, and Pinkie Pie walking over to her.

"Rainbow what were you thinking!?" yelled Twilight as the cyan pegasus raised her hands defensively.

"Hey, she started it. Plus she was mopping the floor with us."

"You could’ve nearly killed her at the rate you were flying, I mean ever heard of-." Before she could finish lecturing her, Twilight could hear the bat pony let out a coughing fit along with blood trailing out of her mouth. The purple unicorn quickly moved over to the bat pony to turn her around. Upon seeing the blade in her chest, her eyes widened in shock and horror as blood was gushing out of the wound. “Oh no.”

“Oh crude.” Rainbow Dash said as her eyes widened in horror. “I-I didn’t mean to do that.”

"This isn’t good. The blade is lodged into her chest, and I don’t know how to get it out. We need to get to Ponyville hospi-." Before Twilight could finish, Gilda came from the unicorn’s blind side as she knocked her away from Adelle with a backhand to the face. Once she was away, the griffon quickly picked up Adelle by the tail.

“Get over here! Trixie has enough magic to perform her greatest feat of magic!” The blue unicorn yelled as the griffon darted past Twilight and her friends. Once she was within range of Trixie’s casting range, the trio was engulfed in a pillar of blue light. Within a matter of seconds, the pillar of light vanished revealing that they were gone.

"What the, where did they go?" asked Rainbow Dash.

"I don't know," Twilight answered "But they couldn't have gotten that far with the injury the bat pony has. If I’m right, they should’ve teleported to Ponyville’s hospital.”

"But what if they don’t head to the hospital?" asked Pinkie Pie. "We just can't let them roam free after what she did to that poor dragon."

"We're not, we'll come back after we inform Celestia of what happened, then return with a search party to find them."

"Why not now?" asked Rainbow Dash. "By the time we return, they will be long gone by now."

“Because we need to take Fluttershy to the hospital for her injuries, get Rarity and Applejack out of those thorny things, and I have a broken nose if you haven’t noticed?”

"You guys take care of Applejack, Rarity, and Fluttershy. I'm going on ahead and finding them." Before anyone could say anything, Rainbow Dash flew into the air towards the Everfree Forest.

"Rainbow Dash wait!" yelled Rarity as she watched the cyan pegasus fly off. "Why does she always do this?"

"We'll go after Rainbow Dash later," said Twilight as she levitated Fluttershy into the air. "I’ll take Fluttershy to the hospital. Once she’s there, I’ll come back and help break you out if Pinkie Pie hasn’t done it by the time I return " She said before teleporting to Ponyville Hospital, leaving Applejack, Rarity, and Pinkie alone on the plateau. While Pinkie Pie was attempting to break Rarity and Applejack free, near the other side of the mountain. A small cave could be seen giving off a flash of light as Adelle, Gilda, and Trixie appeared inside the cave and landed hard on the ground.

"Ugh...my head," said Gilda, pulling herself up from the floor. "I'm starting to remember why I hate magic so much."

"This is what happens when you rush magic. You should be lucky that you’re still intact."

"Whatever at least we got away from those dweebs with the loot we got from that dragon."

"Trixie agrees with you on that, but what do we do now?"

"We'll have to lay low for a while until the heat cools down, so until then let's just hide in this cave till th-." Before Gilda could finish, the griffon heard a cough echoing in the cave.

"Who said that?" asked Gilda.
"Trixie thinks the voice came from Adelle," Trixie answered as she noticed the blade sticking out from the sinner. “Oh, dear Trixie!”

“How in the flying feather did that blade get stuck inside her like that!?” Gilda asked as she rushed over to the injured sinner.

"Something tells me that it happened during the fight with Twilight and her friends."

"W-What do we do?" Gilda asked as she was about to remove the blade, only for Trixie to stop her.

“Don’t do that! If you remove the blade, then her blood will start to pour out of her like a fountain!”

“Can't you just use a spell to make her all better or something?"

"Magic doesn't work that way, you simpleton. You can't just simply use a healing spell and poof you're all better, it takes time and practice for that to work. The time that we don't have at the moment."

"Well, think of something! If we don’t do something fast, then we can kiss Adelle goodbye!” Trixie tried to think of a way to try to mend Adelle’s wound, but so far she couldn’t think of any ideas. Because they were miles from the nearest hospital, and that it might kill her if they teleported again. This looked like to be the end of the poor sinner’s life, that is until Trixie had an idea.

"Trixie has an idea!"

"And what would that be, Miss. Great and Powerful Trixie?" Gilda said sarcastically.

“Seeing how we can’t remove the blade without killing her, why not just use the blade on her body?”

"How are we supposed to do that?"

"Simple, my less intelligent friend. I have a spell that allows me to fuse certain items with anypony."

"And you didn't tell me this earlier, why?"

"Well, you didn't ask Trixie if she knew any spells that can do that."

"......You know what, forget it. I'm not even gonna argue with you about this, just do the spell on her."

"With pleasure, now stand back!" said Trixie as she pushed Gilda to the side. "Watch in awe as The Great and Powerful Trixie does her magic!" Trixie's horn started to glow as an arcane circle appeared underneath the unconscious bat pony. “I pray to Faust this works.”
