I told you to go right

Twilight and I were quickly stopped by a large crowd of ponies. They wanted us to follow them to some 'mysterious' unicorn in the centre of town, because he was apparently terrorizing those who came near or had some relation to Twilight or myself. Seeing no other choice, we followed along too. However, when we arrived, we could easily see where the problem was coming in.

I had to duck as Solar came flying over my head, yelling loudly as he smashed into the side of the bridge, flipping over the side and into the water below. Behind him, I saw Inferno encased in a red aura, before suddenly turning a bright shade of pink. He was then dropped on the ground, looking absolutely traumatised. The girls weren't safe either; Rainbow's wing suddenly expanded to 3 times its normal size, causing her to flip over in the air, spiral out of control, then land in the river next to Solar. This was taking place in an almost circle-like stage, with ponies making up the walls and the creepy ringmaster wearing a black cloak with a red and black amulet to clip it together. Even Dr Dr Dr Leftenant Commander-In-Chief Mk.VXX Spike was cowering behind a box, shielding his awesome head with his arms.

"Oh Faust..." Twilight gasped. "Who is this pony?"

"Dunno," I replied, narrowing my eyes at the mystery figure. "But...eh...they...seem familar, eh..." I shrugged, and began to trot towards the figure. "YOU THERE!" I shouted. "YES, YOU IN THE CAPE. STOP YOUR CRIMINAL SCUM-LIKE ACTS AND SHOW US YOUR FACE." Surprisingly, there was a female laugh.

"Well well," she smiled as the hood flicked back, "If it isn't Thunder Mustang." I narrowed my eyes at the mare, trying to remember who it was.

"Ehhhh..." I groaned quietly. Everypony else recognised her. "...nnnnnope, not familiar..." She was light blue, with a silver mane and...wait, I can't tell what her eyes are, they're flickering red...shit. Hmm...OH, IT'S THIS BITCH. I raised a hoof and smiled as I remembered." OHHH, IT'S YOU!" I said loudly. "YOUR NAME WAS, LIKE, FUCKING...Umm...Trixie...? Yeah, that's it, TRIXIE!" She smirked.

"Ah, you do remember me, hmm?" Trixie looked at me evilly. "Trixie was looking forward to getting revenge after you HUMILIATED her months before in Ponyville!"

"Woah, I didn't do shit to you, alright?" I said quickly, raising hooves defensively. "If anything, you humiliated ME by only partially doing a gender-change spell." My wings beeped loudly and flared. "And by god, I've changed since then."

"No longer the pitiful stallion I embarrassed before, hmm?" she snarled, blowing mane from her eyes. "Well, let's put that to the test: You and I have some unfinished business to attend to."

"Nah, I didn't really start any business with you, since it'd end in bloodshed. Now I'm CERTAIN starting business, or as you say, finishing it would end in dismemberment." I replied. "And anyway, I'm-"

CRRCK

"-bloody crazy!" I shouted loudly with a crazed expression. I clicked my neck back into place. "Ahem, yeah, that. I have about 4 malevolent entities aboard HMS Thunder, so why don't you just pootle away?" In reply, I was levitated upside-down and put in front of Trixie's face. I had no say in this, as usual.

"Trixie happens to be MORE powerful than all of them combined, so why don't we duel for it, hmm?" she looked almost seductive, yet highly unstable at the same time. "The loser leaves Ponyville...FOREVER!" The crowd gasped loudly, and I heard the phrase 'Don't do it, Thunder' repeated several times. Ignoring them, I looked her in the eyes, raising my hat slightly since it had somehow managed to stay on my head while I was upside-down.

"OK, mate." I chuckled. Immediately, I was dropped onto my head. I moved back to where I was stood before, but Trixie looked impatient.

"Well then?" She asked impatiently. "Where's your magic?" I thought for a moment.

"This is a magic duel?" I replied. "You challenged a Pegasus to a magic duel. That's like challenging a tree to a who-can-jump-the-highest competition. Of course, Fluttershy would win, but still." Nopony got the joke. "Well, fuck you all too." Suddenly, Pinkie jumped in the middle of us.

"WHAT ABOUT A DANCE CONTEST?!" she asked loudly, bouncing around. "IT'D BE SO MUCH FUN, BECAUSE THUNDER WOULD BUST A MOVE OUT THERE AN-" A mouse pointer had appeared, clicked her mouth, then threw it in a recycle bin, which promptly disappeared. Trixie was smiling victoriously.

"Oh my god, that was awesome." I said finally. "I'm contemplating joining your side, now. Dammit."

"Well, you can't, unless you'd be willing to serve me." Trixie said. "In any way I please."

"Yea-wait, NO." I corrected myself quickly. "I'm already tired out from female attention, I don't want to have to put up with...whatever you had planned. I'll fight you, but I don't know how I could without ma-"

CRRCK

"Allow me to deal with this one, my friend." GentleSpy said casually. This time, I felt my whole body change; my steely wings disappeared from view, my fur turned a warm hazel-brown color, and I felt my jacket and boots turn into formal shoes and a suit jacket. Finally, my hat shifted its form into that of a fedora. I also felt a horn appear on my head, a sure sign that GentleSpy had accepted the duel offer. He looked at the crowd, smirking. "Sorry to pop in unannounced." he chuckled, adjusting his...well, my tie. His gaze lingered on a group of mares that looked like One Direction fangirls seeing the band from a distance, looking excited, 'interested', and 'excited'. He chuckled, and winked at them, causing them to faint sideways in adoration.

If I did that I'd get a slap. You lucky bastard.

He flicked his eyes back over to Trixie, who seemed to be trying to conceal her interest quite a lot. "Let us settle this like Gentlemen!" he ordered, extending a hoof and making the universal 'bring it on'. Both GentleSpy and Trixie narrowed their eyes at each other, GentleSpy was spending a long time gazing into Trixie's ~~deep, entrancingly warm and enticing~~ eyes, trying to ascertain her weaknesses. The crowd was silent, waiting to see who'd make the first move.

"Draw!" Trixie shouted, and it took only a second for GentleSpy to fire a white pulse at the mare. It washed over her, causing a massive amount of electrical damage as she was zapped and frazzled in an instant. A second later it stopped, leaving her stunned and staggering for balance. She growled, and shook her head. "Pfft. Is that the best you can do?!" she jeered, before firing a pulse at us. It washed over GentleSpy, having seemingly no effect, until I noticed that GentleSpy was...stopping. From what I could see, he didn't seem to be interested in fighting any more, rather more serving. Quickly, I grabbed his spirit and slapped him in the face incredibly hard.

SNAP OUT OF IT.

Oof! Ah...w-with my a-apologies...I don't know what happened...

We need help. Christian?

Hmhmhmm, gottit. Gentle, gimme the wheel.

But of course.

I felt my clothes change back to normal on my body, but my body wasn't changing back to blue and gold. Rather, a deep black color with a dark brown mane. Sunglasses also appeared on my eyes, but they were bearing red spattering. I also noticed how I got a lot taller. I looked at my hooves; I had control now. "Heheheh, nice." I looked down at Trixie. She was staring slack-jawed.

"That's impossible..." she whispered. I saw how tiny her pupils were in her eyes, and approached her slowly. The crowd was now deathly silent, but Trixie was panicking as she backpedalled. "S-Stay back! Y-You win! J-Just stop! No! Don't keep coming closer!" Finally, her flanks were pressed against the town hall and I pressed my face not even inches from hers. "...d-don't hurt me...p-please..." she whispered again. I just laughed.

"Haha, bloody hell, you're awful!" I snorted. "Give's a look at that fancy necklace yer wearin', Shiela. It'll look bloody nice on my jacket, mate." Suddenly, Trixie looked a lot more aggressive, charging up her horn in a flash and zapping my new body with a ludicrously powerful charge. It sent me flying backwards into the crowd, which immediately parted as I slammed my head against a wall. It shattered, and I was now incredibly pissed off.

"DON'T TOUCH MY AMULET!" she screeched, before picking me up, spinning me around repeatedly, and preparing to throw me away. "I WIN BY DEFAULT! TRIXIE ALWAYS WINS!" Just before I was sent flying, something grabbed my tail as I was thrown over a mile away into the Everfree forest.

Ahhh, piss. I'm sorry mate.

Why are you leaving the control-nonononoNOOOOOOO, NOT THE POISON JO-
