The Embodiment of Resent

Twilight, Pinkie, Rainbow Dash, and Tenebris stood outside the library.
"Do you think we should have sent Apple Jack to get Fluttershy too?" Rainbow Dash said, breaking the silence
"I don't think so..." responded Twilight "... She would be too scared, and I know that's never stopped me before from dragging her along with us, but this is Trixie we're talking about, and if you'll remember, Trixie did some pretty nasty things to you guys last time. I just don't think Fluttershy would take it very well if something were to happen."
"I guess you're right."
Apple Jack walked up with Rarity
"Good evening Twilight, Pinkie, Rainbow... and you... you must be Tenebris, yes? Apple Jack already told me about you." Rarity said
"Looks like we're all here." Said Twilight
"Well, what are we waiting for? Lets go in!" Said Pinkie
When they opened the door, the room was black. pitch black. and once the last pony had entered, the door slammed shut.
"That can't be good..." Apple Jack said
"It's just Trixie messing with us, she's probably wanting to have some grand entrance for when "The great and powerful Trixie" arrives" Twilight said, rolling her eyes. "But still... a spell like this wouldn't be easy to pull off, if Trixie was the one who cast it, then she really has been working hard, so stay alert, everypony."
"Show yourself!" Tenebris yelled into the darkness
the voice of Trixie echoed around the room
"Hmm, now what would that prove, if the great and powerful Trixie were to just clear the darkness. You know magic, why don't you light the room back up?"
"Okay, I will!" Twilight announced.
her horn began to glow, and the room was shown
Books were scattered about everywhere, but neither Spike, nor Trixie could be seen.
suddenly the glow vanished, and the room was dark again.
"Uhh, Twilight, I think the goal of the spell was to keep the room bright for longer than ten seconds" Rainbowdash said
"I'm trying, but no matter how hard I try, I can't make the room any brighter." Twilight said
Trixie's voice rang out again
"Aww, poor Unicorn, not so tough anymore, are you?"
"Cut it out, Trixie, you wanted to see me, well, here I am!"
Suddenly the room went bright again and Trixie was standing right in front of Twilight.
"Ever since I made your pet dragon run away, I haven't had anything to amuse me." Trixie said
Tenebris saw the book that Trixie was suspending in the air with her magic.
"Th-That book!" Tenebris stuttered
"You know something about it, sugar cube?" Apple Jack asked
"Of course I do! That book is the element of resent! When Trixie held that grudge against Twilight, she must have become the wielder of the element!"
"Element of resent?" Twilight asked
"There once was a second set of elements... It's explained in the book Celestia gave you, didn't you read it?"
"I didn't think that part would be important."
"Their is a second set of Elements, much like the elements of harmony, but these ones are much more dangerous, they are the elements of destruction. Each one holds incredible power... and this one, the element of resent, is a book of powerful spells, we're all in danger right now, Trixie, you need to put down that book! You don't know what you're doing!"
"I'm pretty sure I do have an idea. This book is what is making me stronger than Twilight! and if there are other elements, like that other book said, I bet I can find them and then I'll really have my revenge! If The elements of harmony can send you six to the moon, or turn you to stone, I can't wait to see what I can do if I collect the rest."
"You can't just use an element just like that! You actually have to be the one representing the element, Trixie! And I doubt you represent every element of destruction, besides, we already tried having spike use Rainbow Dash's element of harmony once and it didn't work!"
"I'm not a fool, Twilight! I read your book! the elements of destruction are capable of being used by anypony who finds them. The reason it didn't work on Discord is because your friends were under his curse, plus, the elements of destruction work differently. Your little Alicorn friend seems to know a lot about them, why don't you ask him?"
"Tenebris, is that true?"
"... The elements are meant to be a tool that can be used by anypony. In the hands of good, they will bring a definite order and possibly even a utopia... but in the hands of evil they will almost certainly end up corrupting, and destroying everything... It was because of this that the original elements were destroyed, but they re-appeared in the pony... or even sometimes not a pony, that represented the element best. So to prevent the elements from coming back, they tried to censor all information about these elements... I didn't know a book with knowledge on them still existed."
"Trixie... you're seeking a powerful that could tear the world apart, and you're risking the life of everypony... just to get revenge on us?" Twilight asked
"SILENCE! the great and powerful Trixie is done here, I will seek out every last element with or without your consent."Trixie said, as she picked up both the book of resent, and the book that gave the details of the elements. "and just so you don't get any ideas..."
Trixie shot a force field around the six that were in the Library before leaving the building.
"Trixie! You little!"
SLAM! The door to the library was shut behind her, as the six were left in the barrier that surrounded them.
"... She.... She's gone mad..." Twilight said
"She hasn't gone mad" Tenebris said "It's the element's doing... When one is exposed to their own element, it typically overtakes them, and that creature becomes the embodiment of their element..."
