My Little Pony: The Human Chronicles

Episode 7: Good Copy, Bad Copy

---

Sweat slowly dripped down from Toby's face as Twilight continued to attach wires to his face and body. He was seated in a large chair inside Twilight's basement, which was full of scientific equipment. Standing nearby were Spike and the others.

"I don't know Twi… you sure this is gonna work?" Toby asked her. "I mean you've been working on trying to get me home for weeks and still nothing, are you a hundred percent sure this time will work?"

"Absolutely!" Twilight Sparkle stated "If my math is right, then by super charging my magic, casting a teleportation spell and directing it towards you it should transport you back to your own dimension,"

"Has… this been tested?" Fluttershy asked concerned.

"Not exactly… we could try to do it with a test subject," Twilight Sparkle mused as she turned to Spike.

"Nuh-uh! No way! I'm a dragon, not some guinea pig!" Spike exclaimed.

"Although you're a few inches away from being one," Toby quipped. The girls all giggled much to Spike's annoyance.

"But still Toe, this might be dangerous, not just for you but for everypony else too," Spike pointed out.

"I know, but I have to take this risk," Toby stated. "It's the only way I'll be able to get home and back to my Dad, who by now is probably so worried about me he's alerted the FBI, that's a secret agency by the way,"

"Well if I say if we're doing this then let's get it started!" Rainbow Dash declared confidently.

"If anything goes sideways, we'll be there to help," Applejack assured him.

"Thanks everypony," Toby told them "You're the best,"

"Well we do try to always do our best darling," Rarity stated.

"Yeah, and we also try to do are super-duperiest!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed.

"Ok, Twi, fire it up before Pinkie says one more sentence," Toby said.

"Ok… here goes," Twilight Sparkle said as she magically placed a helmet on her head. "This might tingle... a lot."

"Great..." Toby said in a deadpan tone.

Then she began to charge up her magic, her horn glowed with intense magenta light which lit up the whole basement. The energy began to flow from her helmet through the wires attached to it and straight to Toby, his whole body was covered with a magenta aura.

Toby then began to groan from intense pain and so does Twilight, the machines around them start to beep and wildly release sparks, startling the others, who looked greatly concerned for his friends.

"I don't think that's suppose to happen…" Pinkie Pie pointed out.

"I think for once your right," Rarity remarked.

"This is less like tingling and more like horrible pain!" Toby exclaimed.

"Spike! Shut it down!" Rainbow Dash cried.

Spike rushed over to the machine and started pressing buttons quickly.

"I'm trying, I'm trying!" he exclaimed.

Toby and Twilight then let out a scream of pain.

"Hurry! It's hurting them!" Rainbow Dash shouted.

"Come on Spike, hurry up!" Applejack added.

Spike continued to press buttons but eventually got so frustrated he starts breathing green fire on the machine, and with that some parts of the machines exploded and the process stopped. Both Twilight and Toby looked a bit singed and groaned, both were woozy and in pain.

"Holy Guacamole that hurt…" Toby remarked in a dazed tone. "Ooh... make me stop vibrating."

"What he said," Twilight Sparkle agreed also in a dazed tone.

"Well… back to the big old drawing board." Pinkie Pie stated before walking over a large chalkboard and crossing off something called 'Plan K', next to a whole line up of other alphabetized plans, also all crossed off.

---

Pretty soon after the failed experiment, Toby was stomping out of Twilight's basement and onto the main floor whilst ripping wires off his face. Twilight followed him closely.

"Toby, I am so, SO, sorry about this! I am!" Twilight Sparkle insisted "And I know I messed up and your upset about not being able to go home but-"

Toby turned to her with a furious look and cut her off. "Upset? No. I was 'upset' the first time you failed, I was 'mad' the eighth time, now… I'm furious!"

"Calm down…" Twilight Sparkle urged him, but Toby was too mad to listen.

"How can you ask me to be calm after a failure like that?" Toby demanded.

The others then appeared.

"Hey! She's doing the best she can!" Rainbow Dash told him.

"Well I'm sorry to say but it's not enough!" Toby exclaimed "And you guys don't seem to understand the severity of the situation, by now my Dad is probably worried sick about me and is doing everything in his power to find me but he never will because I'm trapped here! I mean… I wanted to get his attention before but… not like this."

"Toby-" Celestia's student started.

"Listen, maybe you can live with a failure like this but I can't," Toby stated "And it's not just you that failed, it's me, I wasn't able to get that spell to affect me due to my inability to turn my 'magic resistance' thing off! I can't live with myself when I fail that badly!"

"Gosh, we never knew you felt so strongly about this…" Fluttershy remarked.

Toby folded his arms "Where have you been?"

"Well don't you worry your little red head sport," Applejack assured him "I'm sure Twi will be able to get you home soon, right Twi?"

"Actually… to be honest finding a way to transport a human back to their own dimension is much harder than I realized," Twilight Sparkle admitted "Without the proper books and supplies needed from the Princess… I can't help you Toby,"

Everypony looked sad, but Toby quickly shrugged off his sadness and replaced it with determination.

"Then I'll find somepony who can," he said before turning to the door.

"Tobias!" Rarity called out.

"Don't waste your breath, I appreciate your help Twilight… but it's time I started looking elsewhere," Toby told her while he continued to walk to the door, when he reached it he looked back toward Twilight's sad face "I'm sorry,"

Toby walked out of the library.

"But Toby!" Pinkie Pie cried.

"Let him go girls, he just needs some time," Spike stated.

Deep down the Mane 6 knew Spike was right and all stood in silence while Twilight sat with a depressed look on her face.

Meanwhile, Toby was walking around Ponyville hoping to find a unicorn powerful enough to send him home.

"There's got to be somepony here that can help," he muttered "Hmm, maybe I should ask somepony…"

He heard chuckling behind him and saw two school aged colts named Snips and Snails walking by.

Snips was short, round, had buck teeth, an orange mane and tail, large brown eye brows and a light blue coat. His cutie mark was a pair of white open scissors.

Snails was golden colored, had an aquamarine mane and tail and light yellow freckles. He was lanky and thin and had a frowning snail for a cutie mark.

Toby zoomed over to them, much to their surprise.

"Hey, you two laughing boys," Toby said to them.

They were both shaking in fear "Yes?"

"Name's Toby. Now listen, I know you two are both busy… not fitting in… but can you help me find a very powerful unicorn around here? You know other then Twilight," Toby asked them.

They both thought for a moment before Snips thought of something.

"Ooh! I know! You can see Trixie!" Snips exclaimed.

"Yeah, Trixie!" Snails added.

"Trixie?" Toby questioned confused.

"Yeah, you heard of her?" Snails asked.

"Huh, doesn't ring a bell," Toby admitted.

Both Snips and Snails bugged out at Toby's last statement.

"You're kidding me! You've never heard of the Great and Powerful Trixie!?" Snips exclaimed loudly.

Toby stared at him blankly. "Nope, in case you hadn't noticed I'm not exactly from around here," he pointed out "Besides, what's so 'great' about her?

"They say that she's got more magical powers than any other unicorn ever!" Snips told him.

"Yeah, she's amazing!" Snails added.

"Huh, I guess she could be worth checking up on," Toby mused "Where can I find her?"

"Uh… well we heard she was staying at the Canterlot Double-Tree Hotel," Snips told him "But we never got a chance to check,"

"Yeah, she's kind of put a restraining order on us," Snails said.

"I wonder why…" Toby muttered "Anyway, thanks guys,"

Toby started to take off but then he noticed several ponies carrying multiple decorations, musical equipment and other flashy accessories. It looked like they were preparing for something.

"Hey, what's going on here?" he asked.

"Oh, tomorrow's Karaoke Night," Snips replied.

"Yeah, anypony who thinks they can sing will be performing," Snails told him "And the winner, get's a shiny medal!"

"We're entering, are you entering?" Snips questioned.

"Yeah… excuse me while I laugh… HA! No way, not in this life time. Sorry boys, I don't sing," Toby stated, bluntly. "Now if you'll excuse I got a 'Great and Powerful' unicorn to find,"

Toby zoomed off, and when he was far enough away Snails spoke up.

"Uh… you think we should have told him about the Ursa Minor incident?" Snails asked.

"Nah, I'm sure he knows that right?" Snips wondered.

Both boys gulped.

---

Within minutes, Toby had arrived in the middle of Canterlot. Toby could not help but gaze at everything he saw like a tourist. The buildings were beautifully made, the nature pure as Fluttershy's home. Ponies of all kinds, wearing fancy clothes, looked at him with the stares he earned when he first arrived in Equestria. Some just carried on and ignored him.

"So this is Canterlot… fancy!" Toby remarked, before he began to make his way through the city.

"Now, those two kids said something about the Canterlot Double-Tree Hotel… only I have no idea what it looks like!" Toby exclaimed "Oh, if only there were some kind of sign…"

A bright light threw it's glare over him. Toby looked behind him and saw the source-a colossal flashing sign that sprung up over one set of doors: "Now Hosting The Great and Powerful Trixie." The unicorn's name was displayed in giant red letters.

"That'll do," Toby said.

Pretty soon Toby was inside the hotel and was nearing a door that had Trixie's name on a piece of paper attached to it.

"Well… this is it," Toby said to himself, he knocked on the door.

"Who in all of Equestria dares to disturb The Great and Powerful Trixie's elegant slumber!" Said the voice of a very cranky mare from the other side of the door.

"Uh… my name is Toby Morrison and I was hoping you could help me with something," Toby said "I mean… you are 'The Great and Powerful' right?"

The door opened and a unicorn pony with an electric blue coat, a light blue mane and violet eyes stepped out. Her cutie mark was a magic wand sprinkling pixie dust.

She looked shocked when she got a good look at Toby, who waved at her with a friendly smile.

"Hi there," he said.

"And just WHAT are you?" Trixie questioned.

"I'm a human, from a planet called Earth, I know I look strange but…" Toby started before super speeding around Trixie till he appeared behind her "There are some nifty benefits!"

Trixie is a bit startled at first but quickly regains her composure.

"I see, well, Trixie does admit you have some… unique skills, but what does the likes of you want with the Great and Powerful me?" Trixie questioned.

"Well you see… I'm kind of… stuck here, so I'm looking for a unicorn powerful enough to cast a spell that will send me home," Toby replied.

"Why not ask that Ponyville unicorn, Twilight Sparkle?" Trixie asked with a scornful tone.

"She tried, but she said she didn't have the resources necessary to send me home," Toby stated "So I decided to look elsewhere,"

"Huh, unsurprising, for Twilight Sparkle is nowhere near as powerful as The Great and Powerful Trixie!" The unicorn said dramatically "And luckily for you, I just happen to have the resources that Twilight lacked,"

Toby smiled "Really? So you'll help?"

"But of course, you can trust Trixie," Trixie told him, hiding an evil smirk.

"Sweet!" Toby cheered "Just don't tell Twilight, I don't want her to get the wrong idea or anything,"

"Why my dear Toby, that is the furthest thing from Trixie's mind," Trixie insisted.

"Boy, you sure talk in third person a lot," Toby pointed out.

"It's Trixie's thing," Trixie stated proudly. She walked ahead of him. "Follow Trixie, for she will lead you to the area where she will begin the spell that will send you back to your native land."

"Awesome!" Toby exclaimed, as he followed her. As they walked down the hallway, Trixie was glancing at him at him constantly, hiding an evil look in her eye. She clearly had something else in mind, other than sending Toby home, and Toby had no clue what he was getting himself into.

---

Back at Twilight's home, the gifted unicorn herself was laying on her bed reading a book but with a sad and depressed look on her face. She sighed sadly as Spike walked in.

"Hey Twi, you ok?" Spike asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine Spike," she assured him.

"Are you still upset over what happened with Toby?" Spike wondered concerned.

Twilight sighed "Yeah, I guess so… you know ponies keep telling me that I'm one of the most gifted unicorns they've ever met, but how gifted can I be if I can't solve this one problem?"

"But you are gifted Twilight!" Spike insisted "And Toby was just upset, you know he didn't really mean all that stuff he said,"

"Maybe… but I know that he was serious about missing his father and how badly he wants to leave us…" Twilight said, with a tear forming in her eye. Spike walked over and patted her on the back comfortingly.

"Aw, don't feel bad Twilight," Spike told her. "Maybe you should go talk to Toby again?"

"He's probably still too mad at me to talk to me," Twilight Sparkle muttered. "Besides, nopony's seen him in hours."

"Oh, he's probably beating up some kind of monster or something," Spike suggested.

Around the same time, Toby was standing in the middle of the forest while Trixie drew a strange symbol in the dirt around him. The symbol had strange equestrian writing all around it and resembled a giant star, similar to Trixie's cutie mark and Toby was standing right in the middle of it.

"So uh… Trixie?" Toby spoke up "What's with the sand drawing?"

"Oh, this? Well, this is the first step, it's a very ancient spell so Trixie is forced to use the old methods of casting," Trixie explained.

"Drawing lines in the sand?" Toby asked flatly "Wow, the old days must have been horrible, not to mention boring,"

"So very true," The blue unicorn "But do not worry Morrison, the spell is simple, painless, and completely worth all this effort. Trixie assures it."

"Wow, thanks Trix," Toby smiled "Can I call you Trix?"

"You can call Trixie, whatever you wish my dear, just don't forget to add 'Great and Powerful," Trixie reminded him. Toby nodded.

"So… how does this old spell work exactly?" Toby wondered.

"Do you really want Trixie to bore you with all the details… or do you wish Trixie to get straight to the point?" Trixie asked him.

"Straight to the point would be good," Toby nodded.

"Basically, all Trixie has to do is say a little incantation, sprinkle some magic and voila! Your home again," Trixie stated.

"Awesome! Thanks a bunch Trix!" Toby said "I sure wish I had time to say goodbye to Twilight, Spike and the rest of the pony gang… but I'll bet there still mad at me for shouting like that… you'll tell them I said goodbye, right?"

Trixie nodded "Of course, anything for a friend,"

An evil look appeared on Trixie's face, but Toby didn't really notice as he was too excited about the thought of going home.

Elsewhere, in Ponyville, Spike the Mane Six were searching high and low for Toby, but no matter where they looked they could find no trace of him anywhere in town. While they were searching, the townspeople continued to set up the stage for the Karaoke Night Festival.

The seven friends soon gathered in the center of town.

"I can't find Toby anywhere!" Twilight Sparkle proclaimed "How about you guys?"

"Nuttin," Applejack said.

"Zero," Pinkie Pie added.

"Sorry," Fluttershy apologized.

"No trace," Rarity shook her head.

"Aw, man we've looked everywhere and he's nowhere to be found!" Spike stated annoyed.

"Oh… where could he be?" Twilight Sparkle wondered.

At the same time, Trixie had just finished the symbol Toby was standing in the middle of and as soon as she finished the symbol started to glow with a blue light.

"Ooh, pretty!" Toby smiled.

"And now… we begin," Trixie declared, as the light grew brighter and brighter till a large pillar of light shot out from the symbol and towards the sky.

The tall tower of light that had just shot out from the sky could be seen from all over the country, including Ponyville. The Mane 6 and Spike all caught a glance of the light and gasped.

"What… what is that?" Fluttershy asked timidly.

"I don't know, but I know it has 'Toby' written all over it!" Rainbow Dash stated.

"She's right, come on girls…" Twilight Sparkle started before she caught a glance of Spike glaring at her "…And Spike,"

Spike smiled at this.

"Let's go check it out!" The unicorn said as she led the charge towards the pillar of light.

---

Meanwhile, Toby was greatly bewildered as he stood right in the middle of the magical light, a large rush of wind blew beneath him and he felt very tingly inside.

"Whoa… uh… Trixie? Is this suppose to happen?" Toby asked.

"Do not worry young one, this is just the first step," Trixie told him before her horn glowed with a purple aura "The real fun begins… now,"

Trixie then spoke a strange and unintelligible language that Toby could not understand before firing a magical blast at the tower which made it change from a blue light to a purplish one. Just then Toby's body started to glow as well as fizzle like a broken TV set.

"Hey! This is it! I'm going home!" Toby cried with excitement.

At the same time, all of Toby's friends had just arrived and saw Toby inside the giant magical tower of light.

"Toby!" Twilight Sparkle screamed.

Toby turned and saw them, he smiled. "Oh, hey guys! Check it out! I'm finally going home!" he cried while waving at them "Thanks for everything! Bye! Wait till I tell my Dad about this! Bye! See ya!"

Twilight looked closely and saw Trixie on the other side of the magical light smiling evilly. She quickly figured out what was going on.

"Toby! Listen to me! I know what Trixie is doing!" she cried "Get out of there!"

"What?" Toby called out, unable to hear her. The light glowed bright and brighter, till it got so bright it looked like a solid tower made entirely of purple magical energy. The tower then began to shrink down till it formed a small, Toby sized, ball of pure light. The others all gasped. Trixie stepped forward.

"Too late, Twilight Sparkle," she said "He's mine now,"

Her horn glowed brightly as the ball of energy began to shake and stretch till finally it split into two balls of light. One blue and one red. They both floated right back down to the ground till they finally faded. Toby emerged from the blue light and collapsed on the ground while something or someone else emerged from the red light.

The others looked closely till they got a good look at the stranger and to their shock he looked almost exactly like Toby. Only he had shaggy black hair and his clothes were an inverse of Toby's; he had a blue and red cap with a black capital 'T' on the front, he also wore a ruby red t-shirt with a black stripe across the middle and one the sleeves, dark blue cargo shorts and ruby red and dark blue shoes. But the most disturbing thing about him was the fact that he had bright red eyes and an evil smile.

"Toby…?" Twilight breathed.

"No," Trixie said "More like… Anti-Toby."

Toby groaned as he slowly regained consciousness. He looked upward and his eyes widen with horror when he saw the duplicate of himself standing nearby.

"What… what the hay is that?" Toby asked shocked.

Anti-Toby grinned evilly at his other self. "I'm you… but just a little more bizarre."

Toby raised an eyebrow. "Huh?"

"You see Toby-boy, that spell wasn't made to send you home… it was designed to split all the negative energy from your mind, body and soul and give it a solid form," Trixie explained. "One that only I, the Great and Powerful Trixie, can control!"

"So in other words… we got a good Toby…and an evil Toby," Twilight Sparkle said.

"What? But… but you said…" Toby stuttered to Trixie.

"Please? You didn't really think I was going to help one of Twilight Sparkle's pathetic friends, did you?" Trixie demanded "You see, I knew exactly who you were the whole time boy, and I've been waiting for a chance to use this spell on you and create the one thing that can help me exact my revenge on the town that deemed the Great and Powerful Trixie a fraud! How much sweeter the victory knowing that it is ALL. YOUR. FAULT!"

Toby looked absolutely crushed and lowered his head in sadness and shame.

"Now… Anti-Toby… go out and destroy Ponyville… and everypony in it," Trixie told Toby's evil clone.

"With pleasure," Anti-Toby said with a sadistic look in his eye. His body glowed with a red energy before butterfly wings made up of red energy formed on his back. He then flew up and zoomed toward Ponyville.

"Bye-bye!" Trixie waved before dropping a smoke bomb, then running away. She stumbled a bit at first, but quickly regained her balance.

Spike and the Mane Six quickly rushed over to Toby.

"Toby!" They all cried.

"Toe… are you alright?" Applejack asked.

"Say something Toby-woeby!" Pinkie Pie pleaded.

Toby groaned as he stood on his knees, he turned to his friends with a devastated look on his face, then glanced at Twilight.

"Twilight, what have I done?" he breathed in a horrified tone.

The evil Toby zoomed through the forest at tremendous speeds, the wind he generated were so strong that they were able to literally cut off the tops of the trees, effectively clear cutting half the forest.

The evil grin on Anti-Toby's face grew wider and wider as he soared like a bullet heading straight for the unsuspecting town of Ponyville, ready to tear it to shreds.

At the same time, the good Toby was already in the middle of Rainbow Dash yelling at him angrily.

"WHAT WERE YOU THINKING TRUSTING TRIXIE?" she screamed at him "She's stuck up, she's a show-off and she's EVIL!"

"I… I didn't know!" Toby protested "I only heard about her today! Remember, there's still a lot about your adventures that I don't know about!"

"You still should have told us about her before this!" Twilight Sparkle told him "I mean, what were you thinking?"

"Most uncouth," Rarity added.

"She said she could help, that she could send me home!" Toby stated "I knew you couldn't, so I had to look for someone who could and these two colts Snips and Snails told me…"

"Snips and Snails told you!?" Spike exclaimed, he face palmed "Ugh, those two couldn't find water if they fell out of a canoe! You should know better than to listen to two guys who sound like they have brains the size of walnuts!"

"Well I know that now," Toby said, he turned and walked a few feet away towards a tree "And now… thanks to me, and evil Anti-Me is gonna destroy the town!"

Toby banged his head against the tree in frustration.

"Exactly!" Rainbow Dash added. "And…"

Toby turned to them all with tears streaming down his face "Look… how about we all skip the scolding and get to the part where I already feel bad enough about it!? Because I'm already there!"

The Pony Gang and Spike all saw how genuinely upset and sorry Toby looked and their anger at him quickly faded and was replaced with pitiful and sad looks.

"Oh… we're sorry Toby," Fluttershy said. "We didn't mean to make you cry…"

"Yeah, we were just frustrated just like when you were frustrated with Twilight after she failed to send you back home again," Pinkie Pie added.

Toby wiped the tears from his eyes and looked at bit annoyed with Pinkie. "Yeah, I know," he said. "Thank you, for reviving that memory Pinkie,"

"You're welcome!" she beamed.

"And to make matters even worse not only is the town gonna be destroyed but everypony there is gonna hate my guts!" Toby proclaimed "And after I worked so hard to gain most of their trust to,"

He walked over to another tree "Ugh! This stinks!"

Toby kicked the entire tree down in frustration before sitting down in defeat.

"Well instead of feeling sorry for yourself why don't you go stop Trixie and… yourself?" Twilight Sparkle asked "You're still Ponyville's hero,"

"No… I'm just a zero, besides… what am I suppose to do get us into more trouble?" Toby questioned "It seems that every time I do something right I do something wrong! Sometimes I think this world would have been better off without me,"

A single tear dropped from Twilight's face. She slowly walked over to Toby and tapped him on the shoulder. Toby sniffed and turned to her.

"What?" he asked, before Twilight wrapped her front legs around him, giving him a tight hug. He looked greatly surprised and blushed.

"It's ok, it's ok," she told him. "You're right, we should have warned you about Trixie. It's not just you whose in the wronged here, we all caused this."

"We did?" Rainbow Dash asked confused, Applejack nudged her. "I mean, yeah! It's totally our fault for not telling you about Trixie and that she's evil and all,"

"You know… I really did think Trixie was a good pony… I really thought she was my friend," Toby said sadly.

"Hey, she knew you were a good person Toby and how desperate you were about getting home. That's what made it so easy for her to manipulate you," Twilight Sparkle said.

Twilight released Toby from her embrace while a deep and thoughtful look appeared on Toby's face. Images of Anti-Toby and Trixie smiling a smug grin flash in Toby's mind, which quickly changed his tune.

"Trixie…" Toby growled angrily as his eyes glowed bright blue.

"Toby? Are you ok?" Twilight Sparkle asked.

"No… I feel like my heart's been ripped out," Toby admitted "But I know who I can take it out on!"

Toby's clear blue energy wings appeared on his back. He squatted down then took off like a rocket before flying straight towards Ponyville. Twilight smiled.

"Go get' em," she said.

Back in Ponyville, the residents there were still getting ready for Karaoke Night. They then heard something fast flying towards them and looked up. A red blur whooshed by and when they turned to see who or what it was, they saw Anti-Toby standing on top of a house, of course they all thought it was the good Toby and cheer.

"Hey, it's Toby!"

"Toby the human!"

"What's up, Toe?"

As the townspeople continue to cheer Toby's evil twin started to smile evilly while his fists enlarged. He then jumped down, creating a shockwave when he hit the ground then zoomed toward an unsuspecting stallion.

"Bye-bye!" he said before sending the stallion flying.

Everypony started to panic and run in fear as the Anti-Toby started to tear and smash the town apart, as well as knock down anypony that got in his way.

Anti-Toby laughed evilly as he continued his destruction.

Meanwhile, Toby was still flying towards Ponyville at Mach 5, he saw and heard explosions coming from the town and increased his speed.

The towns people tried to hide from the rampaging evil Toby but were all quickly found and sent flying via Toby's giant fists.

"If any of you survive tonight, just remember that it was I; Toby Morrison who did this to you!" Anti-Toby declared elsewhere Trixie was hiding behind a curtain and it seemed as though she was controlling what Anti-Toby was saying and doing.

She laughed "Now this is a show!"

"Not so fast, me!"

Anti-Toby looked up and saw the good Toby speeding towards him. Before he could react, Anti-Toby was tackled by the good Toby and sent flying. They both rolled and stumbled till they stop in the center of town. The townspeople, who weren't greatly injured, all gathered around and looked extremely confused by the fact that there were two Toby's.

Anti-Toby grumbled. "Oh, it's you, Mister Goody-Goody Boy."

"That's right, it's me, Toby Morrison, the real one!" Toby stated loudly.

"Oh please, don't forget, I'm no fake… I'm you, remember?" Anti-Toby asked.

"Not for long!" Toby shot back.

The crowd murmured and whispered to each other about the situation.

"That's right folks," Anti-Toby said before leaping to Toby's face in slow motion "You're Princess Luna wasn't the only one with a bad side,"

He delivered a walloping uppercut that lifted Toby far off his feet. Toby quickly somersaulted in the air till he landed on the roof of a building.

Toby smirked "Is that all you got… me?"

Toby leapt off the building, flew straight toward Anti-Toby and head butted him in the chest, knocking the air out of him.

The Evil Toby glared at the Good Toby with pure hatred burning in his red eyes before giving Toby a strong kick that sent him flying into a large crate with a single kick. He smiled and walked a little closer to Toby.

"Hey, Toe!" he called out, Toby stood up and faced his evil clone "You ever wonder what would happen to all of these ponies if you weren't here to play 'savior'? I know you do, you'd just never admit it,"

"You don't know a thing about me!" Toby protested.

"Actually Toby… because I'm a part of you… I know everything about you," Anti-Toby said "You see I have all our memories, I know every thought you ever thought of, and then some,"

"Maybe… but at least I'm a real person," Toby stated "You're just an amalgamation of all my dark and twisted thoughts!"

"Exactly!" Anti-Toby stated "And after I've killed you, I'll fix every mistake you've ever made, with the magical powers here and with Trixie's help I can bring back our Mom!"

Toby was a bit shocked at the mention of his mother. "Hey! Leave my mother out of this!" he roared.

"Our mother! Remember; same person, same mother, only I am much cooler!" Anti-Toby stated.

That remark made Toby angry, while his evil counterpart extended one hand, palm up, and flicked the fingers toward himself in the classic martial-arts gesture- "bring it on." Accepting the invitation, Toby readied himself and instantly locked arms with his evil twin. They both struggled to overpower the other but neither of them budged. It soon came to an end when Toby was slammed to the pavement and flung bodily into a house, screaming all the way.

Toby emerged from the smoke groaning as he fell to his knees. Anti-Toby loomed over him menacingly.

"Go ahead. Run crying home to Mommy. Oh, that's right-you don't have a mommy!" Anti-Toby said with a cackle.

Toby's facial expression quickly shifted from pure shock to tearful sorrow to blinding rage. He rushed straight at the enemy, who easily dodged his wild swings.

"Aw, did I hurt your feelings?" The evil clone asked mockingly. On the end of this, he planted a hand on Toby's head to keep him at arm's length, unable to hit anything but air until Toby kicked him upside the jaw knocking him back.

Anti-Toby rubbed his sore jaw then smiled evilly "Let's end this!"

Anti-Toby's body glowed with intense red light then his body suddenly grew in size till he towered over all the houses and buildings in Ponyville. Everypony gasped in shock and horror.

"See? Anything you can do, I can do better!" Anti-Toby proclaimed.

"You took the words right out of my mouth!" Toby said before charging straight toward his giant clone. He flew towards Evil Toby as his body glowed with intense blue light then grew to match his size. He leaped into the air and stomped on his bad self.

The shocks shook the entire town and the entire populace started to scream, run and cry out in panic. Toby and his evil counterpart lock arms once again. Evil Toby forced Toby's arms away and double punched him in the chest, Toby doubled backed in pain. Anti-Toby smiled evilly as he attempted to land another punch, but Toby dodged it. He puts his fists under Evil Toby's chin and gave him a forceful upper cut, knocking the evil clone back.

Trixie saw that her creation was losing and frowned.

"Oh no, you don't!" she declared. She fired a beam of magic energy that hit Toby's bandaged arm. He cried out in pain while Anti-Toby knocked him onto his back with a single punch. Toby reverted back to his original size. He opened his eyes to see Anti-Toby standing above him and preparing to squash him with his foot.

"Toby!"

The human turned and saw Snips and Snails magically levitating a large shield with their horns.

"Catch!" Snips cried as he and Snails tossed the shield to Toby who placed it over himself just as Evil Toby stomped on him. Anti-Toby continued to stomp on the area Toby was on and with each hit Toby snuck further into the rock. When his evil self finally stopped, Toby saw that he was half way into the ground.

He looked at the shield impressed. "Boy, I really should carry a shield more often!"

"Give it up, Toe! This Toby has all of the moves and none of the sap!" Anti-Toby declared. "I'm better than you, I'm stronger than you, I'm smarter than you!"

"But I got one thing you don't… back-up," Toby smirked.

His clone looked confused. Just then he felt pain in the back of his giant legs. The townsfolk looked closely and saw Applejack and Pinkie standing behind Evil Toby kicking him with their hind legs. Then Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy flew over and started to push Anti-Toby. Finally Twilight and Rarity appeared on opposite sides of him and magically levitated a giant ribbon in front of him. This caused Anti-Toby to fall right over, face first into the ground.

He then shrank back to normal size and when he opened his eyes, he saw that the good Toby was the one looming over him. Then Toby grabbed his evil clone by the collar of his shirt and upper-cut Anti-Toby with a tremendous punch, sending him flying out of Ponyville and up into the sky. As he climbed into the atmosphere, Evil Toby screamed angrily. A dark sapphire blue blur flies across the night sky, grabbed him and escorted him toward the shining moon above them. Back on the ground, Toby smiled to himself.

With the evil Toby finally gone, everypony in town cheered with absolute joy, while the Mane Six and Spike gathered around Toby.

"So… who was that that just sent my evil twin to the moon?" Toby asked his friends.

"Oh, that was just Princess Luna. I had Spike send her a little letter before all of this and told her to send your Anti-self to the one place she knows that not even you could get out of," Twilight Sparkle explained. Spike nodded proudly.

"You mean the moon? Hmm… yeah, that would be a good place to hold me," Toby admitted. He turned to the crowd and saw that they were even more scared and distrustful of him than when he first showed up in town.

Toby sighed "I think it's gonna be a long while before any of them will be able to trust me again…"

"Maybe… but at least you have seven less townspeople to worry about," Fluttershy told him as she and the others all nuzzle and hug Toby affectionately. Toby smiled. Then the sound of somepony slowly clapping their hooves together was heard. They all turned and saw Trixie standing right behind them, clapping with a calm smile.

"Oh yes, very well done, Toby-boy," she said mockingly "You sure put on quite the performance,"

Toby and the others all glared at her.

"What?" Trixie asked.

"You lied to me, you tricked me!" Toby said.

"But of course!" Trixie stated.

Twilight stepped forward looking just as upset as Toby "Toby here was the only one who trusted you, he actually saw good in you and thought you were his friend and this is how you pay him back?"

"Man, that's low even for a show off like you!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. The others nodded in agreement.

Trixie looked thoughtful for a moment but her thoughtful look quickly turned into a smug grin.

"Hey, it's not Trixie's fault he's dumber then a rock!" she stated.

Toby's fists shook with fury as Trixie laughed evilly. He shook his head at her.

"Nopony makes a fool of me!" he proclaimed. He enlarged his fists.

Trixie readied herself. "You wouldn't hit a lady would you?"

Toby leapt toward her, his fist ready to pound her to dust. "You're no lady…"

Toby attempted to smash Trixie but she quickly jumped out of way just as Toby smashed the ground. He does several more attempts to smash her but she easily dodged all of his wild blows. Her horn then started to glow as she sent multiple objects towards Toby. He managed to dodge most of the flying objects but several of them manage to strike him in the face, chest and back.

"Hey! Ow! Ah!" he cried out.

And just when Toby thought Trixie had run out of objects to throw at him, he was met with a pair of hooves to the face that sent him flying right through the fountain statue, breaking it in half. Toby struggled to get up, stood on his knees and panted, he looked exhausted.

"What's with Toby? He just kicked the tar out of his clone so why's he wheezing like an old timer?" Rainbow Dash remarked.

"That dreadful battle with his ruffian counterpart must have taken a major toll on his poor little body!" Rarity stated.

"Oh no… if Toby keeps going on like this…" Fluttershy started.

"He's a goner…" Spike finished. Pinkie Pie gasped sharply and covered her mouth with her hooves. Twilight stared at a pain filled Toby with tears in her eyes.

"Come on, Toby…" she pleaded.

Trixie approached Toby slowly, she then used her magic to levitate a sharp blade and aimed it at Toby's head.

He looked up towards her as she got ready to finish him off "Hey… maybe we can talk about this?"

Toby held out his right hand, he then lowered his index finger and his ring finger and his palm began to glow with a cyan blue aura. Trixie's body then started to levitate off the ground, much to her, and everypony else's shock.

"What… what is happening!?" Trixie exclaimed.

"It's… magic! Toby using magic!" Twilight Sparkle realized.

"Well, I'll be! I guess your last experiment did something to him after all!" Applejack remarked.

Toby was greatly surprised by what he was doing and looked at his glowing hand "I have magic powers now? Oh, nice!"

Toby maneuvered Trixie to the fountain, while she struggled to free herself.

"Release Trixie, this isn't funny you worm!" she cried.

"If you say so!" Toby smirked. He lowered his palm and directed her straight toward the fountain water below her. He lifted her wet self up then dropped her again, he then does this several times.

"Hey, this is like one of those dunk tanks!" Toby realized "Are you having as much fun as I am?"

Trixie spat out a large gush of water "Trixie is still gonna destroy you, boy! And there's nothing you can do to stop the Great and Powerful Trixie!"

"Says the pony who keeps referring to herself in the third person!" Toby shot back, as he tossed her back and sent her rolling across the stage behind them all. Toby leaped over to the stage and stood near Trixie. The crowd gathered around.

"And now fillies and gentlecolts, please watch and behold as I, Toby Morrison, make the Great and Powerful Trixie… disappear!" Toby said dramatically before leaping up and stomping on a plank on the stage, the same plank Trixie was on, this in effect caused her to be sent flying.

Everypony looked up as Trixie flew further and further into the air. Toby turned to the crowd.

"Fun fact; unicorns can't fly," he told them before waving his fingers to the now falling Trixie. "So happy landings, Trix!"

A loud crash was heard from afar. Trixie was finally defeated.

Toby turned to the crowd again. "Oh, just in case some of you didn't know, the first rule of magic is… always be the smartest guy in the room,"

The crowd that stood before Toby then began clapping and stomping their hooves in an uproar of excitement and happiness. Toby humbly bowed to each of them as several roses were then flung to him. Twilight then rushed onto the stage.

"Toby, that was awesome!" she cried as she and Toby hugged. They quickly let go and blushed to each other.

"Uh… I mean… good job, you beat Trixie," Twilight Sparkle said.

"Thanks, but still… I'm sorry I got us into this mess and I'm also sorry for yelling at you like that earlier, I acted like a jerk," Toby said sadly.

"You were just frustrated," she told him.

"I know, but it was only because I was so eager and so desperate to get back home. So desperate in fact… that I didn't realize what leaving like that might have done to the rest of you," The human said as he turned to his pony friends. "I'm sorry. You guys are like the big sisters I never had, and while I know I won't be able to go home for a long while, I'm spend the time I do have here, hanging out with you guys."

"Aw!" The crowd said, touched.

Pinkie Pie zipped over and hugged Toby tightly. "Ooh, we love you too, Toby-woeby!"

Toby groaned "Pinkie… choking not breathing…" he muttered.

Pinkie Pie then released him, while the others gathered around.

"And I promise you Toby, that one day… I will find a way to send you home," Twilight Sparkle told him.

Toby smiled at her "I know you will, after all… you are the best there is when it comes to magic,"

Just then Toby accidentally levitated a wagon and threw it over their heads. It crashed into a dozen pieces.

He laughed nervously "As for me… I may need a little practice… but it's a good thing I have a good teacher around,"

Toby smiled at Twilight who returned his smile looking absolutely touched.

"Hey! Hey, guys!"

Everypony turned to see Snips and Snails rushing over.

"Hey, it's time for the Karaoke Night Festival to start!" Snips told them.

"And we want you to start it off, Mister Toby sir!" Snails added as he levitated the mic to Toby's hands.

Toby held up his hands and shook his head. "No, no, no, how about I just stay near the front so I… can hear all of you guys better?"

"Aw, come on! Just give it a try!" Rainbow Dash insisted.

"Please?" They all asked.

All seven of them gave him puppy eyed looks till he finally relented.

"Alright! Maybe just a little…" Toby said. Everypony cheered and got off the stage while Toby stepped forward. He turned to Spike, who was seated at the piano.

"Maestro, if you please?" Toby asked. Spike nodded, cracked his knuckles and started to play an upbeat tune for Toby who then started singing a song called 'We'll All Be Together'.

Feels like I've been here before
How this party started
I'm not really sure
When I get up on the stage my brain comes alive
Let's kick this party into overdrive
Cause we're all here together
And my friends are by my side
Wherever I might be
I know you're here with me
And we'll all be together

Do you believe this moment's true?
It may look that way to you but
For me it's déjà vu
Get up and dance before time disappears
Don't waste a minute cause it's already here
Cause we're all here together
And my friends are by my side
Wherever I might be
I know you're here with me
And we'll all be together

He then started to sing slower as the crowd began to clap and stomp to the beat.

Cause we're all here together
And my friends are by my side
Wherever I might be
I know you're here with me
And we'll all be together

Toby then started to pick it up and Spike played even faster.

Cause we're all here together
And my friends are by my side
Wherever I might be
I know you're here with me
And we'll all be together
Yeah, yeah!

The crowd clopped the ground loudly giving Toby the loudest reaction of the night. Toby smiled softly out at the crowd and bowed his head.

The others were stunned.

"Wow!" Rainbow Dash said stunned.

"Uh-huh," Pinkie Pie added.

"Who knew?" Rarity wondered.

"He's great, right?" Twilight Sparkle questioned happily.

"Yep, not bad for a guy who hated to sing," Applejack remarked.

"That's for certain," Fluttershy smiled.

"Yeah! That's my best friend! Wha-hoo!" Spike cheered,

Toby smiled a very big smile. "Man I love this place!" he exclaimed happily as the crowd continued to cheer.
