Opaque…Opaque Luminous…her brother. "Opaque, why are you here?"

"I should be asking you that. Last I heard you were a street rat." Trixie winch at the reminder and cold dismissal of his tone. "I managed to do father proud and work my way up the social circles. One of us had after all."

"Why did you follow…" she trailed off. Did having the answer really matter or not?

"For once you were right. Being the object of somepony's focus that is. Then again you loved being the center of attention. You always had Blissful's attention. All you were ever good at was drawing attention."

"Opaque…just go away." Trixie raised her voice. "Leave me alone! Haven't you done enough?"

"Oh but I can't do that precious. What kind of big brother would I be." He mocked her as Trixie flared with anger.

"Do not care as if you care about Trixie. You did everything you could to torture Trixie. To make her love bad in front of…that stallion. What did Trixie ever do to make you hate her so much?"

Opaque sneered at her. "Speaking in the third pony? And here I thought you couldn't be any more embarrassing." He analyzed her. "I saw those drabbles you called advertisement. Without proper talent in magic it would make sense you could only get by in that way."

Accusing her of being a whore? Not original but it grated at Trixie nonetheless. Why?

Why did he delight in hurting her? Why did he seem to enjoy her pain? She fought back the hot tears.

Why did he hate her? Why did father despise her? Dismiss her as worthless?

"Trixie? What's going on?" Startled Trixie turned to see Naruto approaching. She didn't know whether to tell him to stay away or plea for help.

Opaque turned his attention to Naruto. "Do you want to settle for her? Dear little Beatrix isn't one I would call stable."

"Trixie, who is this?" he asked, not taking his attention off the stallion. Something about the posture he held earlier was hostile and he could smell the makings of tears from the mare.

"Opaque, Opaque Luminosity, Trixie's older brother?"

"Older…brother?" Naruto questioned. Trixie hadn't mentioned such a thing.

"Why yes, I told I would catch up with my sister and make sure she isn't causing trouble like always. She also has a penchant for lying, you never know whether to trust her or not."

Naruto turned to Trixie who looked so subdued…so defeated. Tears began to trail down her cheek.

"What did you do to Trixie?" A hard edge began to fill his voice as he kept his posture as neutral as possible.

"Oh? Are you friend and not a client?" he laughed almost mockingly. "You shouldn't trust anything Trixie says. She'll do or say anything for attention. Its quite sad really. She's too stubborn to listen what's good for her of course."

Lie.

"Trixie is no longer your concern. She is under my protection and I won't tolerate anyone hurting her." Trixie looked up at the blond in surprise. He was defending her. He was…protecting her.

"Do you even know what she's like?" he demanded incredulously?"

"A passionate and determined mare who just wants to be loved and admired."

Trixie did a hard sniff as she tried to wipe the tears from her eyes.

"My, my, he must have enjoyed it to defend you like that."

Naruto's expression tightened in anger. "Opaque…you'll want to leave before you say something and when you do you won't like what will happen."

"Do you have any idea who I am fool? My father is a member of the Equestrian Parliament. He has powerful friends. I could ruin your life." Opaque threatened him as Naruto merely chucked and shook his head. "You find something funny colt?"

"Yes, because you seem to have no idea who I am?"

"And who are you?"

"Seventh Element. Captain of the Night Guard. Personal friend to the Princesses including being the Night Princess's consort. Naruto Uzumaki. And you just threatened me I believe." Opaque paled at the implications of his actions. He had dismissed Naruto as just an earth pony, nopony of importance and this was going to be costly. "Battery of a military official."

"Battery!? I did no such thing! You can't charge me! You're corrupt! When my fath…"

Naruto brought his fingers together and whistled quite loudly. Dropping out of the sky were a few Pegasi.

"Captain Uzumaki sir!" They saluted.

"This stallion here has committed battery against myself. Find him a nice comfortable cell I will be dealing with him later."

"You can't do this to me! This is corrupt! By the time my family is done with you, you'll be finished!" he shouted as he was led away.

Naruto went over to Trixie and wiped the tears from her cheeks. "Trixie, are you okay?"

What he got instead of a verbal answer was her clinging to him and crying her eyes out. He held her, letting her get it all out before prompting just what that was all about. "What was that jackasses deal? Why did he treat you like that and say those horrible things?"

"Opaque has always disliked me, for as far as I can remember." She was speaking in something other than third pony. She must have been tired of shaken up. "I…I think its because he blames me for taking away her love."

"Her? Her who?" he asked her.

"My dam." She answered. "All I know is that he me didn't seem to care if I lived or die and my sire only cared about my potential and not me personally. It only got worse when my mother died. Opaque went out of his way to make me miserable and the sire expected perfection. Anything less saw to it I was punished He spent so much time raising me, going on about how I would be the key to greatness and through me the nation was going to be changed. Then one day he told me, 'Alright Trixie ready to make your sire proud?' I did not question it. It was the first time he called me Trixie. I had always been simply 'his daughter'. I could not recall a single time he called me by name no matter how many times I asked why. The only time he ever spent time with me was to train my magic. Otherwise he had ignored me so you could imagine my joy when I thought I had finally earned my father's love. All I can remember after that is waking up one day in pain and the sire was furious. And to this day I had no idea why, his whole disposition change." Trixie parted her mane to reveal a rather nasty looking scar by her horn. No words needed to be said. "All I remember were his words of being a failure and not deserving to be his progeny. I could no longer stand it all after that I had to get out of there. And from there 'The Great and Powerful Trixie' was born."

That definitely helped him grow to understand Trixie a bit more, but there were things missing. Things he could probably get from that jackass brother of hers. For whatever reason he seemed to despise his little sister. From his tone down to the way he talked about her.

For now he would worry about that later Trixie needed comfort. "Come on," he grabbed her hand and pulled her up to her hooves. Already having made up his mind to comfort Trixie and helping her cope with what just happened.

Getting her back to the room she would be sharing with Twilight Trixie was quick to fall asleep. The encounter had left her emotionally exhausted to which he decided not to push the subject until after the wedding. For someone feisty like Trixie for her to simply give up and accept her brother's verbal abuse was unlike her.

It made her skin crawl thinking about how bad the ordeal must have been. Arriving back Naruto arrived just in time for Cadance to ask the elements to be her bridesmaid and Twilight to officially be her maid in honor. Their excitement said it all. "I'll see you girls later…" With that Cadance was done.

The girls continued to chatter excitedly. Ditzy had been the first to notice him.

"Hey Ditzy! The girls with their great grandma?" he asked as the mare nodded. Having traveled separately Ditzy, Dinky, and Amethyst would be staying with the Matriarch of the Do clan.

"I can't believe I was in time for something interesting for once. Me, a bridesmaid to a princess. Can you believe it?" If Ditzy glowed any brighter she could be easily mistaken for a giant firefly.

"Really? That was nice of Cadance."

"Yeah, she said I was going to be part of the family soon."

It took him a few seconds to comprehend the comment before he realized what was hinted at. Once he was officially wed to Twilight he and Cadance would be in laws and once he wed Ditzy then they would be in-laws as well.

"You're back!" Twilight happily greeted him. "Where's Gryff and Trixie?"

Naruto winched. 'Shit. I completely forgot about Gryff.' Well he still had plenty of time to go find the Griffon."Gryff is just, you know out as for Trixie. Well Trixie…she's in a bad place right now." He said as Twilight gasped and asked what happened. Her reaction garnered attention of the others as they came over.

"Has something happened?" Rarity asked, her expression of concern mirrored by the others.

Naruto sighed and reluctantly folded his arms. "Trixie had a run in with her older brother…" He began detailing the events of what happened and what he missed. By the time he was finished they were all in tears with the exception of Rainbow and Applejack who were wearing expressions of rage. Considering they all had siblings with the exception of Fluttershy who was the embodiment of kindness the thought or idea of a cruel and abusive sibling shook them to the core. Rarity and Applejack were outraged at the idea of an older sibling being so cruel to their younger ones. They adored their sisters and couldn't imagine hurting them in such a way. The others who were younger siblings couldn't understand how the older sibling could do that considering their own bonds with their older siblings. The pony who was supposed to look out for you and protect you.

What happened next startled everypony, even Naruto. One moment they were in the city the next they were all in the castle.

'All eight of us? And at that distant?' Naruto marveled at Twilight's feat for a few seconds as he got back to his feet. The sudden teleport had thrown him off balance almost making him part of the collection of clothes and limbs of the others.

Still it saved them time as he was sure everypony had the same thought.

Be there for Trixie.

"It wasn't just her brother."

He could practically feel the chill in her room.

"No…please." The speaker could have been any of them.

"Her father as well." Fluttershy's gentle cry could be heard in the empty hallway. For somepony who was close to her father it tugged at her heartstrings. "From what I could cobble together from she told me, he wouldn't even use her name and when she failed whatever vague purpose she was supposed to fill he disowned her and tried to take off her horn and disowned her. That's why she lived off the street and her livelihood was that of a street performer." If he had been younger and in less control of his emotions he would be fighting the urge to fight back the vile that would be rising from his emotions…from his anger.

The magical outburst from Twilight and Rarity saw to it that every window on the floor shattered

"Why she talks in the third pony. Why she wants to be noticed and loved."

"She has friends now. We won't let her ever be unloved again."

"Rainbow…" Naruto muttered in surprise. Out of all of them she seemed to have the biggest grudge against Trixie.

"Nopony deserves that. To screw up a filly like that. I'd like nothing more to remove his horn."

The talk of removing a unicorn horn was something based in much tribalist talk. It was also the equivalent of suggesting you were going to murder said pony as removing the horn of a powerful unicorn was essentially a death sentence by magical build up without a very expensive and dangerous surgery to seal their magic with a magical suppressant implant.

"Ah'd break him. Ah'd break him so he never walk again." Applejack swore in a breathy tone. She hadn't been one of Trixie's biggest fans either, but understanding what her father and brother did to her after her mother's unfortunate early passing no wonder Trixie had grown up with the personality she did.

"Don't worry girls, I promise her brother and I will be having a 'special chat' in due time, but for now we need to be there to comfort Trixie." They all nodded.

They were going to help Trixie through her burden. Trixie was their friend after all and they were going to help her anyway they can.

In case anyone calls it out, verbal assault/threatening does account as battery in some places.
