Chapter 2: Dubstep Wrath
Pinkie Pie trembles in shock, unable to comprehend the smooth haired copy that stands before her. SIN slides an arm out of one of her shields and reaches into her armor, tossing some clothing to the evil duplicate. "I have arranged some clothes for you Wrath. I hope they suit your preferences."
Wrath smiles and slips into a black dress, sliding on some pink panties under it. She slips a black eye patch with a pair of knifes crossed on the front of it over her missin eye, looking over herself as she says, "Very basic, but I truly don't mind master. I just don't need my own naked body to distract me from killing myself." Pinkie blinks and holds up her blade, taking a stance. "I take that as a challenge? Any more presents for me master SIN?"
SIN smirks and places a hand on her shield, a chunk of it coming off and morphing into a large cleaver. She holds it from the back of the blade and hands it to Wrath. "Did you have something like this in mind?"
Wrath's eyes light up as she squeals and grabs the hilt. "This blade is for me? Master you truly should not have! It's so large and sharp! I don't know what to say!" She lifts the blade that is as large as her torso like it was made of air, bringing it close enough to rub the side of her face against the side of the blade. She aims the tip at Pinkie with a slight cackle and says, "Mine's bigger than yours."
Pinkie smirks and says, "Quality over quantity!" She sprints forward, Wrath rearing her blade back and swinging at her at an upward angle. As her cleaver rips through the earth, Pinkie jumps and holds her blade flat facing the ground. Wrath's cleaver slams into her machete with a loud clang, pushing Pinkie higher into the air. As she ascends up and backwards, she throws in a flip before she hits the dirt, her crocs skidding backwards as she maintains a stance. "Whatever your blade is made of, it won't be cutting through mine despite how much bigger it is." Wrath's eyebrows furrow as she growls displeased. "And not only that, but I have a power that you couldn't possibly have. The power of laughter is mine alone, and it's the kind that brings joy to your friends, and destroys evil." She inhales as deeply as she can, SIN noticing and slamming both her shields into the ground before her to cover her completely. Pinkie Pie shouts a simple, "HA!" and a shockwave erupts from her mouth, sending dirt into the air and visibly pushing it forward. Wrath blinks and before she can react her cleaver is torn from her hands as she flies backwards and into SIN's shield.
She grunts as the air finally stops pushing her and she falls to the ground, hissing angrily. She grabs the hilt of her blade and dashes towards Pinkie, roaring like a mad woman as she swings at her, Pinkie doing the splits to dodge the blade. "I shall not be made the fool you cartoony goofball! Now just hold still and die like a good girl!" As she raises her blade in the air, Pinkie lays backwards on the ground, rolling in time to avoid the Cleaver slamming into the ground where she had been. The slam made her bounce off the ground and she took advantage of this to leap to her hooves, spinning around and taking a swing at Wrath. Wrath leans back to avoid the slice, bringing her hoof up to kick Pinkie in the jaw, sending her backward. Pinkie catches her fall and rolls backward, bouncing back to a standing position as she begins to run, Wrath yanking her blade from the earth and running parallel to her. "I'll use your skin as a blanket to sleep at night!"
Pinkie laughs and says, "My skin doesn't make a good blanket, I would know! Wouldn't you prefer something warmer like my hair?"
"Shut up you infuriating bane on sanity! Rawr!" She closes the gap between her and Pinkie, swinging her blade at her.
Pinkie dodges under her blade and shouts "Missed me!" She leaps over her blade like a hurdle and repeats "Missed me!" Then she rolls forward to avoid the blade slamming downward, clashing with the earth again. She laughs and says, "Now you gotta kiss me!"
Wrath's eye twitches as she says, "I'll rape your corpse you brainless balloon!"
Pinkie shakes her head and says, "Ohhh, I'm sorry, the answer we were looking for was George Washington Carver. But thanks for playing!" She closes the gap this time, taking a swing at Wrath. The demon leaps back, narrowly avoiding a blow to her gut that leaves a bloody cut across her side through her dress. She aims her machete like a javelin and hurls it straight into Wrath's thigh. Wrath cringes and comes to a stop, looking at the bloody blade sticking out of both sides of her leg now. Then she realizes she took her eyes off Pinkie and she looks up, just in time to be tackled by the energetic goofball and drop her cleaver. Pinkie giggles and says, "Don't you know never to take your eyes off-"
Wrath interrupts, "Yes I know! I heard the narrator's comment! And you know I did! I swear by the end of this I'm going to rip out your other eye."
Pinkie laughs and says, "Well I'm going to smooch your nose!" She kneels down and gives Wrath's nose a big wet kiss, leaving her staring at Pinkie Pie dumbfounded. Wrath gasps in shock as the blade in her thigh is yanked out, and Pinkie proceeds to try and stab it into the evil twin's chest.
Wrath catches her hands by the wrists at arm's length and kicks Pinkie in the side of the head, sending her rolling across the ground, and on top of her own large metal blade's side. Wrath smiles and leaps to her hooves, grabbing the hilt and lifting it off the ground. Pinkie wobbles to stay upright, yelping as she was still standing on the blade. "For my next trick, I'll make a Pinkie pancake!" She swings the blade up over her head, and slams it sideways into the dirt on the opposing side of her, taking Pinkie with it to slam her head first into the ground. Wrath snickers and says, "Tada! Don't eat it all in one bite!"
**************************
SIN watched them rush off with a chuckle. "I'll let them reacquaint themselves. My work here is complete, so now I will take my leave."
"I don't think so!" said an unfamiliar voice to Sin. She turns and raises an eyebrow to see a spiky blue haired girl with a unicorn horn and sunglasses with purple lenses. She was wearing a purple tube top and a matching pair of pants with a black eighth note on the side, matching the one on her hip. On her hands where a pair of mechanical looking gauntlets with a rainbow assortment of neon lights all over them. Standing next to her was a very composed looking grey pony in a formal black dress. Her hair was long smooth and black, and there was a purple treble clef on the side of her dress where her own cutie mark would be. In one hand was a large cello, and in the other was the bow she would play it with. "You're not going anywhere until the Heroes of Harmony arrive."
SIN smiles and says, "Well if it isn't DJ PON 3 and her sophisticated girlfriend. Vinyl Scratch and Octavia wasn't it? I simply love the music you two can compose together, very breath taking."
Vinyl points at her and says, "Can it SIN, I don't want to hear it. We're here to drop a beat and kick your ass." She leaps at SIN, fist reared back, and SIN blocks it with her shield.
She feels herself pushed back by the blow, stumbling backwards in shock. "Those gauntlets of yours seem to be something special. Sadly I don't think they could possibly compare to my own. For example," SIN rears her fist back, her shields morphing back into gauntlets around her hands, and launches a punch at Vinyl. The blue haired unicorn girl holds up her palm, SIN's fist coming to an abrupt stop before it. SIN looks confused, having bigger and more durable gauntlets than the DJ, when she notices a record playing on Vinyl's palm surrounded by small speakers. "I see you've made quite the interesting contraption. What manner of magic is it using to stop my fist?"
Vinyl smirks and flicks her glasses up with her thumb, revealing her red eyes. "Music is the magic stupid. And it's called dubstep!" She rears her other hand back, leaving it an open palm and juts it forward facing SIN. The palm erupts with sound waves against SIN's chest, sending her flying backwards where she lands on her hooves, sweating in surprise. "Hit him with it now Octavia!"
Octavia nods and drops her bow, grabbing the shaft of her cello and sliding out part of it from the rest, not disrupting the instruments form. With the curved end she was able to remove from the underside, she now holds a bow shaped sword in her hand. She places it against the strings of her Cello, and plays a note. The sound sends a visible wave at SIN, flying just past her face. Her cheek erupts with blood as it is cut open and SIN growls in even more shock. "Looks like you two are more to the eye than just musicians!" She is quick to morph her gauntlets back into their shield forms, forming them around her to make the large metallic marble form from before. She was just in time, as Octavia played several strong and dragged out notes that sent wind blades clashing against her armored form. Octavia comes to a stop, seeing her notes were having no effect on SIN's armored form, which leads to SIN emerging with a smirk. "Is that all you got? Your mediocre playing style would make the classical genius of Mozart and Beethoven weep with displeasure in their graves."
Octavia gets a vein on her forehead, and seeing this Vinyl sprints towards SIN with her hands balled into fists. "Don't you dare insult my girlfriend's musical talent you bitch!"
Octavia gasps and says, "Vinyl, wait! You're playing into SIN's hands!" But it was too late. Vinyl lunges at SIN with her fist out, ready to punch her. SIN smirks and her unicorn horn glows as she raises her palm, the very earth erupting from beneath Vinyl in a flat form, slamming into her as she skids across it. Coughing from dirt in her face, she looks around to see herself several dozen feet off the ground now on this small stone platform, and then another one emerges before her with SIN on it. Vinyl stares in shock as the entire area erupts into a mountain, peaks everywhere and rocky terrain. Octavia growls and stares at the mountain that has formed before her eyes and says, "That idiot better not get herself killed before I get there!" Octavia sheaths her blade and lifts her cello, holding it over her shoulder like a sword or an axe. She runs up the side of the mountainous terrain, leaping from any platform she can to get higher faster.
SIN stands high above Vinyl on an alternate platform, her metal morphing weapons becoming gauntlets again. She smiles and strikes a pose saying, "Let's see whose fists can do more damage." Vinyl grabs the floor and does a windmill break dance move to her hooves, striking a similar pose and making a 'come at me' gesture with her palm.
******************************
Pinkie Pie blinks as her vision was a little blurry from the blow she took when her head met the ground with momentum. She blinks and makes out a large blade being swung at her from the side, so she quickly bounces her body off the dirt barely avoiding it. She rolls, avoiding it slamming into the ground where she was laying and crawls as fast as she can trying to get back to her hooves. She feels herself kicked in the side, but even as she stumbles back she manages to maintain her composure, waiting for the world to stop spinning. As she can make out Wrath, she blinks realizing her thigh has healed over, and sighs realizing this girl can regenerate at this point. "This is going to be a lot harder than I thought."
Wrath cackles and says, "You thought it would be that easy? My rage and hatred fuels me, heals me, and helps me strive to destroy anything and everything before my time comes. Face it Pinkie, you can't possibly defeat me!" The ground shakes and quivers as in the nearby distance they can make out a mountain suddenly forming, sparks of metal clashing visible on it. "It appears master SIN is entertaining guests. I should really get to killing you so that I can go assist her."
Pinkie Pie simply smiles and inhales, Wrath blinking and beginning to sweat as she impales the ground before her with her cleaver, using it to block her body. Pinkie laughs hysterically, a wave of air blowing against the cleaver shield like the fury of a hurricane. Wrath growls as the blast of force from Pinkie's laughter begins to curve around the edges of the blade, tugging at Wrath until it finally gets a firm push on her and sends her flying backward. Pinkie finally stops and smiles, seeing this as an opportunity and rushing forward to get Wrath while she was disarmed. "I got you now, you big dumb meanie head!"
Wrath groans rubbing her head and looks up gritting her teeth as Pinkie charges. "You are so predictable, my goody two shoes counterpart." Pinkie leaps at Wrath, her blade raised, but gasps as a hoof meets her stomach, hard. Pinkie cringes as she flies backwards, dropping her blade. Wrath giggles and slowly stands up, plucking up the blade and walking over to Pinkie, holding her stomach as she laid there coughing. Wrath pushes her to her back with a hoof and sits on her stomach, grabbing her by the neck with the blade machete reared back. "You know I got to give you credit for putting up more of a fight than I thought you could. But now this ends with your death dear sweet Pinkamena Dianne Pie."
As Wrath's grip tightens around her neck, Pinkie grabs at her wrist trying to breath. "Don't call me that name. I gave it up along with who you were turning me into."
Wrath laughs and says, "Luckily I don't need you anymore! It's sad honestly. I mean did you really think that you could kill me? ME? I'm living embodiment of wrath, anger, and hatred?"
Pinkie chuckles and pats the doubles arm, making her brow furrow and her eyebrow raise in confusion. "You silly billy filly. I wasn't trying to kill you. I was simply trying to stall you."
Wrath tilts her head, and then her ear flicks noticing the sound of wind being pushed aside by sheer speed. Her entire face morphs into one of sheer hatred as she raises the blade higher ready to stab. "NO!"
A familiar cyan hoof meets her square in the face as she goes flying backward, a crater forming behind her as she skids across the ground. Rainbow Dash stands defensively before her friend, the stitches on her body still visible from the incident all those years ago. She holds up a fist and says, "Boot to the head you psycho bitch! I don't know how you're here, but I'll kill you before I let you kill my best friend!"
Pinkie smiles and grips the ground behind her, lifting her legs straight up before she leaps to her hooves. She holds her stomach, still a little bruised from the kick. "Thanks for the save, Dashie. You showed up just on time." She blinks as a familiar purple dragon flies up, the rest of the mane six hopping off his back before he shrunk down into a muscular anthropomorphic form. "I see you brought friends," she said with a giggle.
Fluttershy hides behind Rarity as Applejack punches her palm and says, "Please tell me that's not the evil Pinkie Pie you guys told us about a few years back."
Pinkie nods and says, "I'm afraid so guys, and her name is Wrath! SIN pulled her right out of me, with these spooky space tentacles, or something. Anyways, she's here, she's evil, and Twilight is gonna make her go away! Yaaay!" She gives a thumbs' up to Twilight.
Twilight shakes her head and says, "I got lucky and got my hand close enough to her brain last time. I don't think we'll get as lucky this time, and for all we know SIN could've cast a spell to keep this evil double out."
Pinkie blinks and her thumb slowly points downward. "Booo."
Fluttershy gulps and says, "She looks kind of creepy. Do we all have to fight her?"
Rarity nods and says, "I know what you mean, I mean look at those cloths! Gothic is sooo last year. I wouldn't want to touch her and have some of her poor fashion sense rub off on me." Everypony looks at her stupid and she blushes. "Well I wouldn't…"
Wrath crawls to her hooves, her one eye twitching as she pants unquestionably angry right now. "Isn't this sweet? It's just one big happy family reunion now isn't it? You know, I was saving something for just such an occasion."
Pinkie beams and says, "Oh! Is it a cake! Because if I was going to save something for a special occasion, it would definitely-"
"Shut up! Shut up! SHUT UUUP!!!" Wrath rips off her eye patch as the hole begins to slowly ooze blood like a stream. Her skin goes pale as a ghost, and her other eye falls out, her teeth getting longer and sharper until her maw resembles that of a great white. Her body, arms and legs, lengthen, and her fingernails each grow into large sickle like blades. A third and almond shaped eye appears on her forehead, the white being a shade of yellow, but the iris still being a demonic red as the pupil was still slitted. She cackles and says in a voice like three voices talking at once, giving her a slight echo effect, "Behold my true form you cock sucking tards! Now get ready to feel the strength of pure wrath, as I tear each of you to shreds and make an article of clothing from each of your skins!"
Everypony stares in shock, standing there completely unsure what to do at this point. Fluttershy weakly spits out, "Maybe if one of us goes over there and gives her a biiig hug, she'll-" Wrath howls like a banshee to the sky, swiping at the air, and all her claws flinging off her fingers and spinning fast enough to appear to be buzz saws. They ripped through the gravel and dirt, a line of ten heading right for the girls. "Or not, maybe she doesn't need a hug!"
Rarity scowls and stretches her arms to the sides, violet energy flowing from her palms as a diamond shaped barrier appeared around the entire group. The blades slammed into the barrier, slowly cutting through the magic, giving everypony enough time to get out of the way. As the barrier shattered, Spike snatched Rarity and sprouted a pair of wings, flapping them to get out of the way. Rarity smiles and says, "Thank you dear. You're always there for me." Spike blushes and looks away bashfully.
The blades reverse and fly back towards Wrath, hooking into her fingers as she cackles some more. "That's just a small taste of what I can do."
Twilight scowls and says, "Then I guess we'll have to kick your butt before you can do anything else. Girls, use your harmony powers!" Everypony nods, Wrath getting on all four and rushing at them like a rabid dog.
Applejack stomps her hoof into the ground and shouts, "Honest tree!" A tree bursts from the ground below Wrath, its branches wrapping around and constricting her as it lifts her high into the air.
Wrath begins to rip through them, and hurls her blades at them a second time. Rarity stretches her arms out again and shouts, "Generosity barrier!" The violet barrier forms again, but only to slow down the relentless blades.
Fluttershy gulps and says, "Kindness persuasion! Um, excuse me mister blades, do you think you could go back and attack that big meanie Wrath instead of my friends?" The blades twist through the barrier and do a one eighty as they launch back at Wrath.
Pinkie giggles and says, "Let's give them a boost! Laughter hurricane!" She inhales and laughs, making the blades fling forward at an alarming rate.
Wrath's eye widens as she holds up her hands, the blades cutting right through her body and the tree, sending her falling to the ground, her blood flowing on to the ground. She wobbles to her hooves as the wound slowly begin to heal. "What the fuck is this, an episode of sailor moon?" She bites the trunk of the tree and breaks it, letting it fall and shatter the barrier Rarity had up. Rarity falls to her knees panting, losing energy fast. "It doesn't matter how much you hit me with, I'll keep coming back!"
Twilight holds out her palm and shouts, "Magic missile!" A ball of indigo light flies from her palm leaving a trail in its wake. Wrath swipes at it, but it levitates downward out of attacks view. Then it skyrockets upward, hitting her in the jaw and sending her flying. "Now, Rainbow Dash!"
"Loyalty assistance!" Rainbow splits into three of herself, the two copies rushing over to grab Wrath by her wrists and tug on them to hold her in place.
Wrath bites at the air, her claws gone keeping her from rending them and she tugs and struggles wildly. "Let me go! SIN will never allow you to destroy one of her generals!" Spike walks up, and looks straight up behind Wrath, spitting a huge green flame that geysers' behind her. Rainbow Dash flies backward, obviously getting ready for a sprint forward in mid-air. Wrath stares in shock, and looks towards the mountain where SIN was fighting and cries, "Master! They are going to destroy me! Please, rescue me!"
A cocky laugh echoes in her brain as SIN's voice comes to her. "Foolish Wrath, if your blind fury has gotten you in such a bad position already, then it is your own fault. Besides, you've already served your purpose. Now die with some dignity."
Wrath stares in shock at the distance, unable to comprehend what she just heard. A tear flows from her third eye as she mutters in disbelief, "No… she would never betray me… would she?" She stares straight forward, the rage burning in her soul again as she begins to twitch covered in veins. Rainbow Dash shoots towards her with an outstretched hoof as she cries, "NOOOO!"
Rainbow's hoof meets her chest as she whispers, "Sonic Rain-boom time." She Dashes off her chest at a velocity speed breaking the sound barrier, a rainbow wave of light sprouting in the form of a wring outward, dissipating her doubles. As Wrath flows through the fire from Spike's mouth, lighting a blaze, she screams the entire time as she flies backwards through the air. She flies past the army of shikibane that the Wonderbolts are trying to hold back, over the forest, and crashing into a far off mountain side where a large explosion of rock and rubble can be seen even from their distance. Rainbow lands amongst her friends, the rainbow trail behind her fading.
Spike growls and says, "Do you think that's the last we'll ever see of her?"
Twilight says, "At least for now. Hurry, I don't know who's fighting over there, but they may need our help!" She points to the clashing of metal on the nearby freshly formed mountain.
*********************
Vinyl gasps exhausted from the fist fight she was having with SIN, her dubstep beats managing to give her the extra oomph she needed to match the demon's strength. SIN yawns and says, "I'm getting rather bored with this monotonous battle. Though I will win at this rate, I feel a need to make things more interesting." She holds out her hands and slams them downward, and the entire area seems to sink straight down, leaving several stone pillars in a large field around them, including where they were standing. "There we go. Fewer floors equal a more interesting battle. Make your move DJ."
Vinyl looks around and stretches her fingers a bit, winding up her arms since they were beginning to cramp. "You sure are the flashy type. I like putting on a good show as much as the next girl, so I'll play your game." She jumps across the pillar tops, making her way to SIN's. The armored creature leaps back as Vinyl punches where she'd been standing, quickly leaping from the pillar before it begins to shatter.
SIN smirks and waves at her. "I'm over here sweetie. Don't you have anything better in mind that a frontal attack?"
Vinyl snaps her fingers and says, "What a great idea. Glad you thought of it." She spreads her fingers and faces her palms forward, the small disks spinning faster and faster until her palms sent shockwaves towards SIN, making every stone pillar in their path begin to fall, slanting back from the sound waves.
SIN raises and eyebrow and walks forward, in time to meet the level of the stone pillar as it begins to go sideways. "I'll give you an A for effort, but an F for effectiveness." She leaps between the pillars; punching the one Vinyl was standing on, and making it instantly shatter all the way up to Vinyl's hooves. As she begins to fall, she tries to leap off the shattering stone and reaches out toward another nearby pillar. She gasps as she feels her legs grabbed by a pair of large cold metal hands, looking back to see SIN with a wicked grin. "Oh no, not so fast, or you'll miss out on this perfectly good twenty foot drop!"
Vinyl feels her body pulled downward, tugged by the hand and gravity as she falls at an alarming rate. "Gotta think fast!" she says to herself, grabbing at a nearby pillar only to feel herself jerked away with nothing but a handful of stone for her effort. She sees the ground approaching, and pushes her hands outward toward them, a blast of bass erupting from her palms just enough to soften the fall, but not enough for it to hurt when SIN intentionally slams her into the floor.
As the DJ groans, SIN claps her metal hands and says, "Now that was very entertaining. I'm surprised you even alive. It's going to make it all the more satisfying when I kill you." She laughs, slowly getting louder as her gauntlets come together to form a giant cannon, beginning to charge up. Before she can fire the final blow, a blast of wind slams her in the back like a blade, cutting through to her back. As she jerks her head back to howl in pain, shooting a pillar instead. The pillar falls towards her and her gun returns to its gauntlet forms, allowing her to catch it.
She glares furiously to where the attack came from to see Octavia standing there, bow blade pressed against her special cello ready to attack again. "Don't you dare try and kill my beloved, you demon."
SIN cracks her neck and turns towards her, chucking the pillar at her angrily. "I've had enough interruptions, thank you!" Octavia gasps and quickly begins to play her cello, the blade wind cutting through the oncoming stone pillar until it evaporates into dust. She gasps, unable to see through it all. Once it clears, she can see SIN standing sideways on the side of another pillar with her hands hooked into the stone. "She truly was entertaining, so I will let her live for now. Besides, I can sense the Heroes of Harmony on their way. Know this though; your fates have been sealed. I'll be back, and when I return, it will be your doom. You, your lover, the heroes, and the princess' will see soon enough. Want to know more, just ask my better half." She gives her one final evil laugh as her gauntlets become shields, forming around her into the marble form, and it climbs up the side of the pillar before shooting into the sky like a meteor.
Rainbow Dash zips by going after it shouting, "Come back here you coward!"
Twilight can be heard nearby from the top of Spike, who is in his dragon form, groaning as she shouts, "Rainbow Dash, get back here! You're not going to catch her and especially not alone!"
Octavia drops her instrument and sword, rushing over to Vinyl Scratch and lifting her off the ground with one arm. Vinyl's sunglasses were broken, showing off her red eyes, as she blinks and reaches out towards Octavia. The fine dressed girl stares down at her hurt lover with a tear in her eye, which quickly comes to a look of shock and embarrassment as Vinyl's hand grips her boob. The DJ giggles and mutters, "Boobies." Octavia scowls and slaps her across the face. "OW!" Vinyl cries as a handprint is left across her face. "What did you do that for love? I just fell twenty stories and survived. Is this the best time to slap me?" Octavia slaps her across the face again in the same spot. "OW! Stop doing that!"
Twilight winds her way through the pillars and to the musical duo. "Are you two alright? I can't believe you were able to hold your own against SIN."
Vinyl holds up a mechanical finger and says, "In my defense, I nearly died." She then holds the finger to her cheek, just in time to block another slap from Octavia. Vinyl huffs and sticks her tongue out triumphantly; only to have her head meet the dirt as Octavia moves her hand out from behind her.
While she holds her head rolling around in pain, Octavia stands and faces Twilight. "I believe it would be wise for us to talk to Trixie about what is going on here. From what SIN said, our answers we've sought for so long lie with her."
Twilight nods, looking up to see the royal guard going by overhead. She smiles and says, "Good, reinforcements are finally here if they can leave the wall. Take Vinyl back to the palace where she will be safe. The girls and I are going to help push back the wall of shikibane."
Octavia nods and picks up Vinyl, bridal style, making her blush. She begins to rush back toward the city and says, "What am I going to do with you love?"
Vinyl stretches out her fingers and snatches up her lover's instrument and weapon as they pass them, the strong woman able to carry the extra weight. She chuckles and says, "You can start by making me a victory sandwich."
Octavia rolls her eyes, tempted to drop the cocky girl. Then she takes one look at her grinning face and just smiles. "I don't understand why I love you sometimes."
Vinyl pauses for a moment and says, "I bet it's the hair."
