"So as you know, we went to Sugarcube Corner. You got surprised and looked like you were going to hurt somepony. You tried to stay in the back of the party, but Pinkie got you to dance for some cake."

"That I never got."

"Thats not important."

"not important? NOT IMPORTANT!? CAKE IS CREDIT TO TEAM!"

"Okay okay, it is important. But you ate the entire cake after you got your punch."

!

"Wait, does that mean that there is no more cake?"

"Yes, now after you dra-"

"It is sad day when the Great and Powerful Sigma can't have any cake."

"... Did you just say the 'Great and Powerful Sigma'?"

"Yes, why?"

"Because there is a pony that goes by the Great and Powerful Trixie."

"Oh yeah, her. Do you know where she is? I almost miss her."

"HOW COULD YOU MISS A LOUDMOUTH LIKE HER?"

Because she has one of the nicest plots around.

"Because she has one of the nicest pl... irrelevant."

Before she could answer, there was a knock on the door.

"Twilight, are you okay, Ah heard shoutin'."

"Its okay, come on in."

When the door opened, the red stallion from earlier was standing in the door frame.

Oh no.

"Oh no."

"Oh yeah, found you."

I did the most natural thing that i could think of, I threw Spike at him.

Spike was too busy laughing at me to get anything out that was sputtering gibberish.

"Don't break him, I only have one."

Distraction achieved. Step one is done. Step two... Step three, profit.

I had no ideas other than to charge up my shield spell. Doing this took a couple of seconds due to the exhaustion of teleportation, but it only took half of that time for them to recover.

"Ah'm gonna kill you."

I got tackled by big red right before i could deploy my shield. Being on the ground without any magic, a way to get out, and a really pissed off stallion on top of me. I was out of ideas.

Goodbye, I'll make sure to reserve you a place in Tartarus.

"Big Mac, get off of him."

"But he bucked me."

"And he drank Lyra's punch, he probably was freaking out and tried to wake you. Luna knows that you are hard to wake up."

"Eeyup."

"So will you please get off of him?"

"Nope."

"Would you kindly get off of him?"

"Eeyup."

What the fuck is going on?

I'm as lost as you are right now.

Without another word, the stallion known as Big Mac got off of me. This earned the best dafuq face that I had done all week.

The first one to talk was Twilight "Now that that's taken care of, can we go back to discussing why Trixie is significant in all of this?"

Big Mac said nothing, but continued to glare at me. The expression on his face said 'if it weren't for Twilight, you would be dead right now.'

Turning my attention back to Twilight I replied with "No."

"Why not?"

"Because I said so."

"That is not a reason."

"Alright, how about this one. I don't feel like talking about it because of reasons of my own and if you continue to push for an answer, I will exercise my unique talents that made me infamous on the ponies of this town. Starting with Spike, who is not a pony, but you get the idea."

I got the best death look of all time, it almost hurt me.

"If you so much as harm a scale on him, Rarity will destroy you."

"Eeyup"

I stopped to think about which one was Rarity.

"Is Rarity the stuck-up white unicorn?"

These are the three answers I got.

"Rarity is not stuck-up."

"HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT ABOUT LADY RARITY!"

"Eeyup."

I'll take that as a yes.

This is going nowhere real fast, you need to change that or leave.

I decided to go with the latter of the two.

"I'm leaving. Don't follow me."

Twilight had a different idea on what I should do. Without a word, she ran up to the door and blocked it with her body.

"This is a very stupid decision Ms. Sparkle."

Spike actually grew a pair and ran in front of Twilight, hoping to protect her from any potential damage.

"If you want to hurt Twilight, you'll have to go through me."

Twilight whispered "Spike, back off. I know what I'm doing. He won't hurt me."

"But I uh..."

"Spike, I promise you, he won't hurt me. Besides, he is scared of Big Mac. He isn't going to try it."

"Fine, but be careful. I don't think he is joking around when he says he will hurt me."

"He isn't."

"Damn straight I'm not."

Stupid pony, we heard all of that.

"Ms. Sparkle, you will move away from that door, or I will be required to take the appropriate steps to vacate the premise."

She gulped before replying "I won't let you leave here before answering my questions."

Spike chirped in "Yeah, Twilight is the smartest and most powerful unicorn in Ponyville, you don't stand a chance."

"I have no doubt that she is, but I still wouldn't put my bits on her if you knew what I know how to do. Besides, she lacks the resolve that I have. She may have the advantage in power, but that is all she has."

Are you going to attack or what?

Not if I can avoid it. My plan was to teleport out of here.

Why not attack?

I would rather keep my bounty as low as possible and avoid getting a record in Equestria.

Makes sense. It's scary when you decide to be smart.

I have my moments.

"If that is your wish Twilight, then I will do what I must."

She gulped again. Big Mac galloped to Twilight's side and gave me a very dirty look. In response, I charged up my magic for a split second before using a spell that I learned from a childhood friend. The effect is a very bright flash and a deafening noise. Quite useful for surprising an opponent, or to make your getaway.

Finishing the spell, I immediately charged up for the teleportation. It took a couple of seconds before it finished. Now I need a location.

No time, Big Red is already recovering from it and he looks pissed off again.

Fuck, teleporting without a destination is extremely dangerous. You could end up in a wall or high above the clouds.

Deciding that it was worth the risk, I finished the spell. Next Chapter: New Friends, Old Enemies Estimated time remaining: 1 Hour, 54 Minutes
