On The Dark Side
Chapter 28
Previous Chapter Next ChapterTrixie Lulamoon had been fearful a few times in her life. Facing Twilight, the incident with the Ursa Minor immediately came to mind. However, facing Twilight Sparkle with an expression of hatred on her face made Trixie more fearful than she had ever been.
"Twilight...it has been a while." said Trixie nervously.
"Yes it has Trixie." replied Twilight, with venom in her voice.
Hearing her name, it all clicked for Sunset.
"Twilight, is this the Trixie you told me about?" asked Sunset.
"Yes. The pathetic, megalomaniac, self-centered, inept, pathetic fraud." answered Twilight.
"Are...are you fighting for Sombra?" asked Trixie.
"Yes." answered Twilight.
"But, you where the student of Celestia." noted Trixie confused.
"Don't ever mention that name again!" cried Twilight.
Twilight calmed down and took a breath.
"I was her student. However, she kept me down. Master woke me up from the fairy tail that I was living in." explained Twilight.
Trixie's limbs began to quiver.
"Last time we met, you tried to take control of Ponyville before I beat you in a dual." began Twilight.
Twilight's horn began to glow and she trapped Trixie with the Blood Manipulation Spell.
"My so called friends saved you then, but you won't escape now." said Twilight, with a sinister smile.
Twilight pulled Trixie out of the store and began to twist her limbs.
"Ahh!" cried Trixie, in excruciating pain.
"Yes! Scream for me!" cried Twilight, euphoric.
Sunset watched the scene unfolding in front of her in horror.
"Twilight, just finish her off. We have bigger business to take care of." said Sunset.
"No. I'm enjoying this." replied Twilight.
"Please...just kill me." begged Trixie.
"Stop it!" cried a country voice.
Twilight turned to face Applejack and Rarity.
"Oh great. Now we have these two." said Twilight.
"More former friends?" asked Sunset.
"Applejack and Rarity." answered Twilight disgusted.
"Darling, we prayed to Celesta it wasn't true." said Rarity.
"You're no better than here! Vulture, everyone of you!" cried Twlight.
"Sugarcube..." began Applejack.
The farm pony began walking forward, but a malevolent snarl on Twilight's face stopped her.
"Enough talking!" cried Twilight.
Twilight's horn had dark magic swirling around.
"Sombra is using you!" cried Applejack.
"We can help you!" pleaded Rarity.
The lavender unicorn let out a maniacally laugh at this.
"Master is the one who helped me break free!" declared Twilight.
"It seems she doesn't want help." said Rarity.
"We may need to take a page out of Dash's book." mused Applejack.
"What do you mean?" asked Rarity uncertainly.
"We knock her out and bring her to Celestia." answered Applejack.
A scowl came to Twilight's face hearing this.
"Okay." agreed Rarity.
Twilight flared her nostrils.
"Sunset, you deal with this inbreed hick. I'll take the prissy diva." said Twilight.
"Right." replied Sunset.
Twilight quickly turned around.
"I haven't forgot you Trixie. Sit still and I'll deal with you once we're done with this." stated Twilight.
Trixie could only whimper as Twilight turned back around.
"Let's dance." said Twilight.
The Ponies broke off. Twilight began blasting magically blasts at Rarity who used her magic to teleport out of the way.
"Stop running!" cried Twilight.
"I don't want to fight you!" declared Rarity.
"I do!" exclaimed Twilight.
Twilight fired a long beam off magic and managed to catch Rarity. The blast hit the ground and Rarity was sent tumbling.
"This is not good for my mane." mused Rarity.
"This is not good for my mane." parroted Twilight in a mocking manner.
Rarity got back up.
"Please don't do this." requested Rarity.
Twilight fired a blast of magic hitting the ground at Rarity's hooves. The fashionista was forced to hop out of the way.
"Twilight!" cried out Rarity.
Twilight fired more blasts of magic forcing Rarity to hop around.
"Dance Rarity!" laughed Twilight.
Twilight continued until shot a blast of magic that grazed Twilight.
"You missed." scoffed Twilight.
"I'm not going to hit you." replied Rarity.
"Big mistake!" cred Twilight.
Twilight fired a beam of magic toward Rarity.
"Ahh!" exclaimed Rarity.
Rarity fired her own magic beam and the two collided.
"Twilight...we can help you!" called Rarity.
"I don't need help!" cried Twilight.
Twilight's magic beam overwhelmed Rarity's Rarity dropped her beam and threw up a magic shield that blocked Twilight's beam.
"You're pissing me off!" screamed Twilight.
Twilight began firing rapid blasts of magic which Rarity's shield blocked.
"You bitch." snarled Twilight.
Twilight used her magic to grab the sign off a nearby business. She tossed into Rarity breaking her shield and knocking her to ground.
"Awe, what' wrong Rares?" asked Twilght.
The lavender unicorn trotted over to Rarity.
"Are you feeling a little...down?" asked Twilight, with fake concern.
Twilight let out a laugh.
"Your little marefriend can't help you." noted Twilight
Rarity tried to get up, but couldn't.
"When Sunset gets finished with her, she'll be a bruised apple." said Twilight.
Twilight again laughed at her own joke.
"Tell me, is Applejack upset that you'll pull Spike around like a marionette?" asked Twilight.
"I never." said Rarity.
"And you say I'm the delusional one!" laughed Twilight.
Twilight stopped and a sinister grin came to her face.
"Maybe...I should see if you're little sister would put up more of a fight." mused Twilight.
An expression of anger came to Rarity's face. The white unicorn fired a blast of magic that struck Twilight.
"Damn." said Twilight.
"You will leave my little sister out of this!" declared Rarity.
"It seems I struck a nerve." noted Twilight.
Rarity fired a volley of magic blasts to Twilight who easily blocked them with a magic shield.
"We both know my magic is much stronger." said Twilight.
"Don't count on it." replied Rarity.
Rarity charged a lot of magic in her horn and fired a powerful beam of magic. It shattered Twilight's shield and sent her rolling down the street.
"You...won't...hurt...my...sister." vowed Rarity.
Rarity cast a spell and pinned Twilight to the ground.
"You're finished." stated Rarity coldly.
Twilight simply smirked and cast the Blood Manipulation Spell on Rarity.
Meanwhile, Sunset Shimmer was on the defensive. The yellow and red unicorn wanted to defeat the farmer without hurting her. However, this plan proved to be ineffective as Applejack was more than willing to whatever it took to defeat Sunset. Applejack began bucking trash cans, signs and whatever else she could sending them catapulting toward Sunset who was using her magic to teleport and avoid this projectiles.
"Ya can't keep dodging like a chicken with ya head cut off forever!" declared Applejack.
Applejack bucked a trash can which Sunset ducked.
"I don't want to hurt you!" declared Sunset.
"Like I believe that!" scoffed Applejack.
"I mean it!" cried Sunset.
"You're just another snake in the grass!" declared Applejack.
Applejack bucked a newspaper vending machine toward Sunset.
"Uh oh." said Sunset.
Sunset teleported and appeared near Applejack.
"Have ya even stopped to think about the innocent ponies you've hurt?" asked Applejack angrily.
"Yes." answered Sunset hurt.
Applejack shook her head.
"I don't believe ya." replied Applejack.
Applejack charged Sunset who would use her magic to teleport.
"Quit hiding!" cried Applejack.
Sunset appeared on the sidewalk.
"Please stop." requested Sunset.
Applejack charged and Sunset used her magic to teleport away.
"Do ya think about the ponies who'll never have family members?!" asked Applejack angrily.
Applejack's face was a angry scowl while she held back tears.
"Twilight mentioned you lost family." noted Sunset.
"DON"T YOU DARE BRING MA FAMILY INTO THIS!" exclaimed Applejack, at the top of her lungs.
Applejack charged and managed to tackle Sunset before she could teleport away.
"You'll never hurt another pony again." vowed Applejack seething.
Sunset used her magic to teleport and arrived a few feet away.
"I'm sorry if I upset you." began Sunset.
Applejack charged and tackled unset again.
"I warned you not to mention ma family!" cried Applejack.
Applejack raised her hooves and began pummeling Sunset.
"Stop!" cried Sunset.
Applejack refused so Sunset blasted her off with defensive magic.
"Just cause y'all got magic don't mean you can beat me." spat Applejack.
The yellow unicorn got back up.
"Please, we don't have to do this." said Sunset.
Applejack charged so Sunset grabbed the farmer with her magic.
"Just listen to me." said Sunset.
"You got nothin' to say to me!" declared Applejack.
Sunset released Applejack.
"Look, I am not..." began Sunset.
Before she could finish, Applejack charged Sunset once more causing the two to roll on the street.
"Oh Celestia." thought Sunset as they rolled.
The two stopped with Sunset laying down and Applejack on top of her.
"Y'all only care about power. You don't give a damn about you ya hurt." said Applejack.
"I'd stop if I where you." said Twilight.
Applejack turned and saw Rarity lying on the on the ground not moving.
"She's not dead. I used my Blood Manipulation Spell on her." explained Twilight.
Applejack let out an angry sneer.
"I can kill when I please, but I will spare her...if you surrender. It's either Sunset or your beloved Rarity. Your choice." said Twilight.
"You monster!" cried Applejack.
Twilight laughed at this.
"You're fucking right!" declared Twilight.
Applejack grinned her teeth.
"Tick tock." said Twilight.
As this occurred, Trixie was looking on. She was shocked that Twilight was doing this and couldn't let it stand.
"I've got to do something." mused Trixie.
Trixie grabbed a basket of bread with her magic and tossed it. The basket hit Twilight who angrily turned around.
"Oh! You just signed your own death warrant!" declared Twilight.
Twilight and Trixie fired a beam of magic at each other. The two unicorns knocked each other out.
"Twilight!" cried Sunset.
Sunset ran over to check on Twilight.
"I can't believe she saved us." said Applejack.
"Twilight! Speak to me!" cried Sunset.
"My head." groaned Twilight.
Applejack tossed both Rarity and Trixie on her back.
"Good thing I work on the farm." thought Applejack.
"Over here!" cried a male voice.
Applejack turned and saw pro-Sombra forces charging her way. She then noticed Twilight was starting to recover.
"I'm sorry Twilight." said Applejack, who ran off.
Next Chapter: Chapter 29 Estimated time remaining: 1 Hour, 39 MinutesAuthor's Notes:
A/N: That is where we'll end this chapter and I hope you liked it. Also, Twilight was channeling the Joker here. My personal favorite Joker is Mark Hamil and that oddly fits with the inspiration for this drawn from the Star Wars prequels. It also fits a Tara Strong has voiced both Barbara Gordon/Batgirl and Harley Quinn. Actually, the way Sombra manipulated Twilight is sort of similar to Harley and the Joker. Next time, we deal with the aftermath of this. Please review.
