The Conversion Bureau: The Other Side of the Spectrum Side Story: Inner Rage
Chapter 7: Chapter 7: Twilight Sparkle (re-rewrite)
Previous Chapter Next ChapterTrevor, finally armed with a pipe, and Clean, scared out of his wits, walked down the eerily quiet hallway. Clean was scared for a good reason. Twilight was an immensely powerful alicorn, and she traversed these halls frequently. If they were caught by her, no doubt she would kill them, or worse, take them to Celestia.
"So, Clean." Trevor started, trying to lighten the mood. "Tell me about yourself, how'd you start working here?" In all honesty, Trevor didn't really care, but he hated the quiet as well.
"Oh, um. Well, their isn't much to say." Clean said. "I got my cutie mark in cleaning, my parents moved to Canterlot from Manehatten a few years before the war started, a couple years later, I started working here. Been here ever since, not that I could leave after a certain unicorn came into the picture." He finished with an edge of anger.
"You can relax now, the big bad unicorn can't touch you anymore." Trevor said, with a laugh. Clean was confused, but stopped when he heard hoof steps.
"Trevor, you hear th-?" He said, but noticed Trevor was hiding behind one of the pillars long before Clean started hearing them. At the end of the hall, a purple pony slowly trotted through, and opened one of the doors with her magic, Clean instantly recognized her, and froze in fear.
"Clean, who is it?" Trevor whispered loud enough, but Clean couldn't answer him, he couldn't even move.
"Well, from your abject terror, I'm going to assume it's Twilight." Trevor peeked his head around the corner, but didn't see anyone. "Must be inside one of those doors."
"Clean." He shouted, catching Clean's attention. "Is this the library?"
"Y-Yeah." He stuttered. "But Twilight's in there right now, we should wait until she leaves, or get the others and jump her, or..."
"Anyone else is just going to get in the way." He said. "That's why you're staying here, while I go inside."
"What? You're going inside, alone? Are you mad?" He asked, but he already knew the answer.
"Oh, I'm a certain kind of mad, alright." He said, with a low growl. "Now stay here."
"Uh, you got it, Trevor." He said. The way Clean said it made Trevor instantly remind him of his old friend Ron, but this wasn't the time to relent on the past. He opened one of the doors to the library.
Inside, the library was enormous. Huge shelves, packed to the brim with books of various sizes, a second floor, with even larger shelves, and a gigantic hourglass stood in the center, sand whittling away.
Trevor looked around, and saw only books. "Where the hell is she?" He thought. Suddenly, he saw a flash of purple out of the corner of his vision, and he immediately turned to look. He didn't get a good look, as the flash suddenly happened again, disappearing whatever stood there. He heard the flash further away. He turned, and saw a glimpse of the mare he was looking for, but the flash happened again, and she was gone.
"Teleportation huh? This ... complicates things." He said to himself.
"Oh, you'd better believe it, buster." A feminine voice said next to him. He immediately tried to strike, but she teleported away before he could hit anything.
"Resorting to cheap tricks, huh!?" He yelled. "Why don't you show yourself, and take your punishment like a good girl!?"
"You'd think I'd let myself get hurt by the likes of you? Are you crazy? Oh wait." She mocked, her voice completely surrounding Trevor.
"These magic tricks will only last so long!" He yelled. "I know for a fact magic isn't infinite, you'll get tired eventually!"
She teleported directly in front of him. "That's where you're wrong." He tried to hit her again, only for the pipe to hit the air. She teleported behind him, and bucked, sending him to the ground. "While it's true, my magic isn't infinite, the power I need to teleport is so minute, it would take years for me to even begin to feel tired." She said, smugly. Trevor leapt at her, only to fall back to the ground.
When he got back up, Twilight was on the second floor, shouting down at him. "Even if I didn't have teleportation, I've carefully studied a near countless number of spells, twenty five percent of them combat related."
She teleported on top of one of the shelves. "And all you have is a pipe, and your own hooves." She was in front of him again.
"You are an ant, fighting a lion. How can you even hope to kill me?"
"By trying, really really hard." He said, as he tried to strike again. "Human intuition."
She teleported a few feet away. "Human intuition? But you're a-" She made a realization. "Oh, I get it now."
"Get what?"
"You're a newfoal."
"DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE LUMP ME WITH THOSE FREAKS!" He snapped.
"Very strange." She said to herself. Trevor tried to hit her again, to no avail. She appeared on the hourglass. "A newfoal that wasn't completely converted."
"GET THE FUCK DOWN HERE, YOU CUNT!"
"Shush, I'm thinking." Her horn glowed, and a zipper appeared over Trevor's mouth, seaming it shut. Trevor, extremely pissed, and not able to vocalize it, fumbled with the zipper.
"Hmm, the potion should have made you as docile as a mouse, but it didn't. It's easy to chalk it up to a faulty batch, but that would have horrifically mutated you, not leave you with just a pony body."
She tapped her hoof against her chin in thought. "Maybe you have a higher natural resistance to magic, but that's impossible, one hundred percent of all humans converted were full fledged newfoals."
Trevor had managed to break the zipper, bits of metal flying all over. "Maybe I'm just the exception, NOW GET DOWN HERE!"
"Will you be quiet!?" She magicked an arrow, and completely removed his mouth. She sighed in frustration. "I swear, nopony has any respect for science." Trevor was thoroughly and royally angry now. The fire within him begged for release. Not yet, he thought.
"Oh, I know!" She teleported back to the ground, and brought Trevor's mouth back. "What were you thinking of when you were changing into a pony?"
"HOW MUCH I REALLY FUCKING HATE PONIES! NOW STAND STILL!" He charged at her, and she teleported back onto the hourglass. Trevor started beating against the glass with his pipe.
"You aren't going to break that, it's five times stronger than what humans called 'Bulletproof' glass." She started pacing, as the thunks of Trevor's pipe rang throughout the library. "I truly get it now. You're hatred for us was so powerful, that not only did it prevent you from being a full fledged newfoal, if my theory is correct, it actually could have given you a power."
Trevor stopped. "What? What are you talking about!?"
She was about to explain, but she stopped. "You know, it doesn't really matter, you're going to die anyways." She teleported behind him again, and grabbed his neck with her magic. "Any last words?"
The fire took over once again, and Trevor started laughing. "You should really let me go." He said, his voice filled with malice.
"Yeah, no." She tightened her grip, tighter and tighter, but he wouldn't choke. "W-what? What's happening?"
Trevor chuckled. "Is this that power you were talking about?" He grabbed the magic ring holding his neck, and broke it.
"H-how is that possible?" She started to panic, and teleported on top of the hourglass again.
"OH NO, YOU'RE GETTING THE FUCK DOWN HERE!" He dropped the pipe, and grabbed the underside of the hourglass.
"Don't be childish, this hourglass weighs almost five tons. You'll ne-" She didn't finish, as the hourglass suddenly started to tilt.
"N-No, this isn't possible!" She teleported again, as the hourglass landed with a shatter. Sand started to coat the library floor, as Twilight appeared on top of the shelf again.
"How are you doing this!?" She shouted, as Trevor slammed his whole body against the shelf, causing to teeter, and land against the shelf behind it, causing a domino effect, and sending books falling to the ground. Twilight appeared on the second floor, watching the destruction take place, a tear in her eye.
"NO, NO! THIS ISN'T HAPPENING!" She stared in horror, as the library was almost completely destroyed, she eyed Trevor, armed with his pipe again, and smiling with an evil glee. "YOU HORRID PONY!"
"Hey, you know?" Trevor started, an eerie calmness to his voice. "That's exactly what Pinkie Pie told me, right before I killed her too!" He laughed.
Twilight was stunned. "Y-you..."
"Yep, and I killed Rarity, and Fluttershy, although you probably already know about that, and Applejack, and Rainbow Dash. All of your friends are dead, and you're the last one." The fire within him burned with a greater intensity, as he started laughed almost maniacally.
"I'LL KILL YOU!" She screamed, and teleported again.
Time almost seemed a little slower to Trevor, as he noticed that, directly next to him, the air seemed filled with a bit of electricity. At the right moment, he stuck his pipe directly into a giant flash, and he smiled, as he saw he was right.
Twilight, now with an extra appendage, made of steel, looked down at the pipe. Skin and flesh seemed to mold into it, and a small amount of blood was pouring out of the other end. She looked back up to Trevor, a fear of death in her eyes.
What she saw confused her, as their weren't any eyes in Trevor's skull. Only a raging fire.
"You were saying?" He taunted, as he placed his hooves on the pipe.
Twilight wanted to beg for her life, but the excruciating pain prevented her from even opening her mouth. Trevor was giddy. He had found a way to kill a god, as he focused all of his anger, rage, and hatred into the pipe. Like a siphon, it sucked up all of that raw emotion, depositing it right into Twilight's body.
The pain of the pipe within her body was soon replaced by a burning sensation, getting stronger and stronger. Twilight suddenly had the sense to teleport away, the pipe landing on the ground with a ringing sound. But it was too late, as her insides felt like they were on fire.
In all honesty, Trevor didn't really know what he did, but he smirked as he watched Twilight cast every healing spell that she new to try and stop the pain. The hole in her barrel had closed up, but her organs still felt like they were melting away.
"PLEASE, MAKE IT STOOOOOOOP!" She begged as she collapsed onto the ground, flailing around in agony as her body suddenly ignited in flame, desperately rolling around on the ground. Trevor could only watch in amazement, smiling with a manic glee as Twilight burned alive.
It seemed to go on for hours, Twilight screaming and begging for it stop, Trevor not even considering the idea to piss on her. Finally, almost mercifully, Twilight stopped moving, her body now an unrecognizable mess of burnt flesh and ash.
For good measure, Trevor grabbed the bloody pipe off the ground, going over to her charred corpse and swung the pipe like a golf club. With a sickening crack, her head flew off and broke through a nearby window, landing right in bird fountain. "FORE!" Trevor yelled out, laughing to himself.
With a sigh of sudden exhaustion, Trevor threw the pipe away and walked out of the library, coming face to face with Clean Whistle. "S-So how did it go?" He asked him, taking a peak behind him at the destruction he caused. He noticed Twilight's headless body, blanching at the sight. He had seen enough gore to desensitize him somewhat due to following Trevor, but the smell of it was what sent him over the edge, turning away and puking on the ground.
"Heh, lightweight." He teased, before slowly making his way to a nearby wall, leaning up against it and sighing. "Clean, when you're done puking up whatever you last ate, come sit with me for a minute." He said, patting the spot next to him.
Clean used his clothes to wipe the spittle and fluid off of his mouth, looking over to Trevor and furrowing his brow in confusion. This was a sudden change in attitude for the happy-go-lucky maniac. With a small shrug, he went over to him and sat down.
"You okay Trevor?" He asked him in concern. Trevor only smiled, closing his eyes and enjoying the peace and quiet. "Don't worry. Fighting Twilight Sparkunt wasn't so bad. I just need a minute to rest." He said, popping a few of the joints in his neck.
Clean simply nodded, taking in the silence with him. After a moment, he spoke up again. "Trevor... why are you like this?" He asked with a bit of solemn.
Trevor raised an eyebrow at that, looking at him. "What do you mean?" He asked him, curious.
"Well, don't get me wrong here." He began. "I don't think anypony but you could have done what you did today. But... how you did it. It screams at me that you were once... outright evil."
Trevor laughed at that, memories of his life as a human being filled his head. "Well, I guess you could say I was, at one point." He said, going into detail. "Back when before all this happened, I was a drug dealer, arms dealer, bank robber, murderer, some might say a cannibal." He said, laughing at Clean's expression of terror. "I'm kidding! I'm kidding." He said. However, there was a reason he once puked up a nose ring.
"Anyway, I had two friends back in San Andreas that prevented me from going over the deep end into insanity. Micheal and Franklin." He said their names with a bit of wistfulness. "I'd known Micheal for years. He was a bank robber just like me, but he had this Robin Hood complex to go with it, always spending the money on his family. Franklin I hadn't known nearly as long, but we were just as close. When you help two old timers like us rob a bank to fund a mission to stop terrorists, you become brothers." Clean raised an eyebrow at that, but Trevor waved it off. "Long story."
"Then, Equestria came along. And with it, the barrier." He went on. "The three of us knew that this might be the end of things. But hell if we didn't go out fighting." He said with a smile. "There we were, all of us hold up in Michael's mansion, fighting off Celestia's soldiers. Hell, we were even winning." He said, before suddenly sulking. "Before some unicorn had the bright idea to just completely remove the mansion. Like, just fucking poofed it out of existence." He said angrily.
"Before we even knew what the fuck had happened, Michael and his family were being forced to drink the potion." He said, a tear forming in his eye. "I... managed to kill them before they had completely turned. But they knocked the gun out of my hand before I could kill the three of us. They held me and Franklin down and made us drink as well. I will never get the words that either of them said after they turned out of my head." He said, his voice shaking a bit before he placed his hooves on his head, shaking it.
"Then, just as the potion touched my tongue, I felt the fire within me activate. It turned me into a pony, but it didn't make me docile." He finished. "I just wish I could have killed my friends before they had turned..." He turned to Clean, who was actively crying. "Ah quit crying you pansy." He said, standing back up and holding out a hoof to help him up.
Clean wiped his red eyes and took his hoof, getting back onto all fours. "Trevor, before we go to the throne room... who was the unicorn who made your house disappear?" He asked him.
"I don't fucking know. He was white and had a blue mane. Could have been fucking anybody" He said, as Clean widened his eyes. "Trevor, I think that was Shining Armor, Twilight's brother!"
"..." Trevor didn't say anything, as he slowly turned to face Clean. "Twilight's brother you say?" He said slowly, making Clean very nervous. "He wouldn't be helping defend the main doors to the throne room, would he?" He asked him, clearly very interested.
"I-I-I t-think so, T-T-Trevor." Clean managed to sputter out in fear, calming down when Trevor turned back around. "Well, what are we waiting for?"

>Inb4 "Characterization, in my Shitty Story? It's not as likely as you think"
SO CHECK IT OUT
This chapter was uploaded earlier, but Redskin looked at it and said 'I got this really cool idea' So he sent me said really cool idea, and I said 'WOW HOLY SHIT THAT IS A REALLY COOL IDEA'.
Cut to several years later, Redskin cancells the story, all of his co authors decide to reboot it without him. So I said fuck it and decided to rewrite this chapter, removing his contribution. I still think fondly of the guy, but I don't know the whole story, and what I do know doesn't seem to paint him in a good light.
