Magic duel

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Twilight and I burst through the crowd of onlooking ponies to reveal a light blue unicorn, with a white mane and wearing magician robes that had stars and moons on them standing about 20 feet across from Rarity.

"Trixie?" Twilight muttered in disbelief.  I was going to speak up but Trixie shot a beam of magic right at Rarity putting her in the most ridiculous outfit I have ever seen.

"Stop messing with my friends Trixie!" Twilight barked.

"Wait hold up!" I cut in. "If your a unicorn then why is your name Trixie?" I asked Trixie showed no signs of actual danger just a big bully with a lot of magic.

"The Great and Powerful Trixie has no time for such affairs with stunted apes." Trixie insulted as she shot and energy beam at me. I wasn't expecting it so it hit me dead in the chest but thankfully to my vest what would've been agonizing pain was really ticklish. I burst into laughter causing a lot of confusion in the crowd.

"STOP PLEASE HAHAHA MY VEST BLOCKS HAHA MAGIC AND PAIN AND MAKES IT HAHA TICKLE STOP! HAHAHA!!" I yelled out.

"Only if Twilight and the Great and Powerful Trixie have a magic duel." Trixie barked. I got to the point of no noise and tears rolled down my face.

"Fine just let him go!" Twilight exclaimed. I was released instantly but thrown into a nearby building knocking me out cold.

I was awoke by someone poking my face.

"Dude get up now." I heard Spike order. I groaned and opened my eyes and seeing all the ponies I met at the hospital plus one orange coated blond haired one. She looked southern with the cowgirl hat.

"What happened?" I asked the ponies.

"Well Twilight lost the magic duel so we're trying to find out why Trixie is so powerful." Rainbow explained.

"I'm going to take a shot and say Twilight and Trixie battled before." I guessed.

"Yes but that was ages ago she came back for her revenge and enslaved ponyville. She even put a gigantic dome around the city." Spike said.

"You're kidding." I asked. Spike just shook his head. "Well then lets find the answers then." I blurted and stood up. We all went to separate parts of the library the orange mare from earlier was right next to me.

"A'hm Applejack pleasure ta meet ya." She greeted in a southern accent.

"Promettis." I replied. 'How could a unicorn with that power just enslave ponyville? There must be other more influential cities in Equestria'

"Hey look at this!" Spike shouted it was obvious he found something. I looked over and saw he had a book in his hands with a picture of an amulet on it. "Trixie is wearing the Alicorn Amulet. Its an enchanted amulet giving the wearer evil and powerful magic." Spike read.

"It must of corrupted it her." I guessed.

"We need to get this to Twilight!" Spike exclaimed.

"I have plan." I stated.

After telling everyone about my plan and dressing a very nervous Fluttershy everything was ready to work.

"Are you sure this will work?" Rainbow asked while we hid the bushes.

"No but its the best we got." I responded and Waited for Trixie to show up. The beavers were hitting the dome with their tails and Fluttershy was hidden in the log next to them. It wasn't long before we heard something that sounded like something heavy being dragged and two ponies grunting. I couldn't quite see but they were close.

"Move faster!!" I heard Trixie order.

"Wouldn't it be faster if w-we used WHEELS?" I heard a pony beg.

"Trixie doesn't trust wheels now move faster!!" She barked and I heard a whip crack. The beavers made their beaver noises and I could almost hear Trixie rolling her eyes.

"Skotos." I whispered and became invisible. The dome surrounding the city was lifted, the beavers carried the log with Fluttershy in it and I rolled to get free. I helped fluttershy out and we both made it into the Everfree. "Are you sure we will find Twilight in here?" I asked. Fluttershy was terrified by the look on her face.She stepped on a twig and she somehow jumped onto my leg shaking in fear and teeth chattering. "Just a twig."

"I-I-I'm scared." Fluttershy confessed. I reminded her that I fought monsters and even gods before this calmed her down a little but she had a death grip on my leg. Soon we reached a hut like something you would see in Africa carved into the tree. I knocked on the door to reveal a Zebra and Twilight. I explained to Twilight what was going on.

"Thats terrible we have to stop her." Twilight said.  The zebra named Zecora grabbed my hand as if to read it like fortune teller.

"Your past and future are quite bleak but I see its peace you seek." Zecora foretold and she was right! I jerked my hand back hoping she wouldn't see my past.

How are we going to beat Trixie with that amulet?" Twilight asked.

"Twilight Sparkle you learned much work have you done you learned all my lessons all but one. If Trixies tricks have you in a fix you must combine your powers and use the six." Zecora rhymed.

"Use the six. I have a plan!" Twilight exclaimed. "But first we have to get Fluttershy back into ponyville." Twilight began writing on a piece of paper. "Ok Heres the plan." Twilight stated.

Twilight and I walked out to the dome, Fluttershy was already inside ready for the plan to fall into action.

"May I?" I asked Twilight nodded. I raised my left hand to the dome and yelled, "INCINERATE!!" Fire burst from my hands activating the alarm. It wasn't long until Trixie came walking up.

"Twilight what are you doing here?" Trixie scoffed.

"I just wanted to show what a real magic amulet looks like." Twilight boasted as she showed Trixie the fake amulet.

"Why would I do that when I have this amulet?" Trixie asked. 'That voice'

"Well then if you don't want to see the awesome powers beyond the Everfree Forest." Twilight said as we both started walking away.

"Oh WAIT!" Trixie blurted. "Rematch." and Trixie made the dome disappear.

Twilight and Trixie both in an epic stare down.

"First lets start with a simple age spell." Trixie began. "Snips! Snails come here." Trixie ordered and in a flash they were babies. Twilight just smirked and zapped Applejack and Rarity with a purple beam and soon they too were babies. Twilight zapped them again and Rarity was old and Applejack was normal. This process happened a few more times. "Thats impossible!!" Trixie shouted.

"Thats nothing!" Twilight retorted. She turned her head and hit Rainbow Dash and not two seconds later, another clone of Rainbow appeared right behind her.

"DOUBLE RAINBOW ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE SKY!!" I shouted a little too loud. I looked at Trixie and Twilight which both with confused looks on their faces. "It's a demigod thing. Carry on."

"I can even make a pony play ten instruments." Twilight boasted and hit Pinkie Pie. After the smoke cleared, Pinkie Pie had a one man band instument attachment on her back and she started playing very well.

"This can't be happening." Trixie was in disbelief.

"One more. I can turn a stallion into a mare." Twilight stated. 'Wait what?' Twilight turned to me and she shot a beam at me.'NOPE!' I slapped the beam to the side making it hit a tree. "Well Trixie, it looks like my magic is greater than yours." Twilight boasted as the necklace was taken of her by Trixie's magic. "Hey, give that back!"

"Now I'll be the greatest unicorn in all of Equestria." Trixie said evilly. She ripped off the Alicorn Amulet and put the fake amulet on her neck.

"AQUIRE!" I shouted and the Alicorn Amulet was in my hand. "Pro tip. Trixie make sure your amulet works before making death threats." I smirked.

"Trixie, that's one of Zecora's door stops. You see when I was in exile, I learned the greatest magic was the magic of friendship." Twilight informed Trixie. Trixie still had a look of shock on her face. "All of those spells were just slight hand maneuvers. Promettis told me that that's the best magic when we were in Zecora's hut."

"Promettis?" Trixie mutterd barley audible as she sprinted into the night.

"Well what now?" I asked.

"I KNOW!!" Pinkie shouted "A PARTY!!"

"Thanks Pinkie, but I stiill have to practice for when the Princess comes back. Maybe tomorrow." Twilight said.

"OK. PARTY TOMORROW. THERE WILL BE CAKE AND ICE CREAM AND WE HAVE TO THROW A PARTY FOR YOU PROMY!!" Pinkie yelled as she was bouncing after every word.

"Promy?" I asked the bubbly mare.

"Well, I give my freinds nicknames." Pinkie explained. I just muttered whatever and we all went to go to our houses to rest off a hectic couple of days.

Twilight's house looked like a hurricane hit it, but a quick rearranging spell from Twilight made it all better. Spike was upstairs snoozing away.'Suprised he slept through it all'. Twilight walked up to him and kissed him on the forehead.

"He's like a son to you isn't he?" I asked Twilight.

"Yeah I raised since I hatched him." Twilight explained. "Here let me show you to your room." My room was the guest room next to twilights it had a bed a nightstand and a wardrobe next to it. I layed down on the bed as Twilight did the same.

"So how did you hatch him, Spike that is?" I asked trying to start a conversation.

"Well it all started when I was little..."

Over the next hour Twilight told a grand story on how her and her friends defeated various godlike creatures and the adventures they had in between.

"What's your world like?" Twilight asked. "Must be exciting."

"Well demigods like me train so we can fight monsters and things like manticores. My mother is the goddess of magic, so there's no cabin for her,so and my siblings and I  slept in the crowded Hermes cabin." I explained.

"That must stink being in a cabin like that."

"Yeah it is but some were tired of it, so we left camp and made lives for ourselves as soldiers, hoping to get respect for Hecate."

"Who did you work for?" Twilight asked. 'Crap what should I say? I can't say Kronos they'll try and arrest me or something. Think fast.' I looked back at Twilight to find her snoring softly. 'That was close. What can I do?' I thought for a good fifteen minutes before sleep overwhelmed me too.
