The Dragons of Metal, Sun, and Thunder
Chapter 43: Return of a Rival
Previous Chapter Next ChapterA few weeks have passed since the Return of the Crystal Empire and the defeat of King Sombra. Ever since then life has only gotten more exciting. Pinkie Pie made millions of clones with the mirror pool to be everywhere and it lead to a huge orgy with Keshaun and the clones.
"I'm still feeling pain in my hips! Why? Why so many clones? And why so many different bodytypes?" Keshaun asked breaking the fourth wall.
Then Applejack and Applebloom's cousin came over for a visit and joined Spike's harem.
Then the gang had a trip to the Buddyfight universe again for a tournament Gao was hosting.
Lastly the gang had another training day. Now let's see what is happening with everyone now.

(Intro sequence)
Pov: Keshaun
I was helping Gilda and Garbelle with magic training. Right now it was healing magic.
After a bit of practice the pain finally went away. I began to walk a little to see if it work and found out it did. I was finally heal all the way.
"Finally I thought I had to live with that pain. Thanks girls for the healing." I said giving a thumbs up
"No problem. Glad we could help. Anyway want to get some food? I'm hungry." Gilda said as her, mines, and Garbelle's stomachs growled.
"Sounds good to me. Let's head to the cafe." I said getting off my bed.
"Why the cafe?" Garbelle asked.
"Because I getting a bit of tired of home cooked meals." I said.
As we made it to the the cafe there was a large group near town hall. As I felt an incredible amount of dark magic.
"You beast! This shade of brown should only be used for accents!" Rarity yelled before fainting. Then I saw Applejack and Caleb took Rarity to her house in a dress where the shade of brown isn't accents but is instead the main point of the dress.
I walked to the middle of the crowd to see Twilight, Spike, Justice, and a grey cloaked figure.
"It seems the final piece of the game is here." The cloaked figure said before laughing.
"Who the hell are you?" Justice asked getting in front of Twilight.
"You don't remember me? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! You should remember someone as great as me!" The cloaked figure said taking the hood down revealing it to be Trixie wearing an amulet that looked like yin and yang but red and black.
"Trixie." Twilight said growling
"What are you doing here?" Spike and Justice asked also growing.
"The great and powerful Trixie wants revenge!" Trixie said as her eyes began to glow red and black.
"Oh please. How are you called 'the great and powerful Trixie' if you just made bad clothes. And how are you going to get 'revenge'? By making bad clothes?" Garbelle asked laughing before a red and black beam of magic blasted towards Garbelle making her body disproportionate.
"I guess she's a dra-grow." Smile said as Snails laughs like an idiot pissing off Spike.
"Can I use Megidolan on Snips and Snails?" Spike asked as I said no.
"You two stay quiet!" Trixie said blasting another beam at Snips and Snails.
When the smoke cleared. The two unicorns are shown to have their horns connected like Siamese twins.
"Trixie, that's enough!" I said walking towards Twilight.
"But I'm just getting started." Trixie said as her magic covered Spike making him a ball.
"Put....him....down." I said as killing intent leaked from my body.
"No besides. You two and I have some unfinished business. My magic's gotten better since I was here last. And I'm going to prove it! Me and you two, a magic duel. Winner stays, losers leaves Ponyville forever!" Trixie said as lighting crashed.
"Hell no." I said.
"Same with me. I'd never make a deal like that!" Twilight said.
"Hm. Your choice." Trixie said turning Spike into a pretzel.
"Ahhhhhhhhh!" Spike screamed in pain from the twisting.
"Stop it you're hurting him!" I said as Trixie just smiled.
"Give me what I want. And he'll live." Trixie said breaking more of Spike's bones.
"Fine! Just let him go!" I said as she did just that as Keith grabbed him and walked over to the group.
"Why are you doing this? Spike had nothing to do with this." Twilight said still glaring.
"Why? Because you humiliated me! After you showed me up with that Ursa Minor Keshaun, I became a laughing stock! Everywhere I went I was laughed at and ostracized. I even had to take a job on a rock farm just to earn a living! A rock farm!" Trixie said as Pinkie interrupted.
"Hey! You're lucky a rock farm would take the likes of you!" Pinkie said as began to use another spell.
All of a sudden a pointer to a computer appeared and grabbed Pinkie's mouth. Before ripping it off leaving nothing.
"Pinkie! That's it. You're dead for that one bitch!" Gilda said grabbing a fuma shuriken and rushing at Trixie.
"Gilda don't!" I yelled as Trixie used her magic to throw Gilda at the library.
"Now I want revenge! And I'll just keep casting spells 'til you agree. Well? What do you say?" Trixie asked.
"Fine. We'll do the duel." Twilight said.
"No. I want you to do the duel alone." Trixie said as everyone gasped.
"What? That's not what you wanted." Twilight said as Trixie began to laugh.
"I know, but I also know I can't win against the two of you together. So if one of you loses, both of you go." Trixie said as I growled.
I walked towards everyone else as I saw fear in their eyes. I know their scared that Twilight will lose. But I'm sure she'll win.
"Draw!" Trixie said blasting a spell at Twilight as Twilight blocked it with a protection spell.
Then Trixie began use pies and a cart as a weapon. As usual Twilight stops the attack by summoning a parasprite then sending it away.
Then Twilight went on the attack by using a growth spell as a distraction. While Trixie was cutting it off Twilight grabbed her core deck case.
"It's time to use the future force 2.0!" Twilight said as her deck transformed into the book and as her hair grew to thigh length.
"Future Force version 2.0 online." Data said.
"I summon Demon Lord Asmodai!" Twilight said as the pillar of fire flew by her.
"I'm here!" Asmodai said posing like Dio.
"Hey people. What I miss while I was with Tetsuya?" Asmodai asked before seeing Trixie.
"Wait wasn't she that so called rival you told me about Twi?" Asmodai asked pointing at her.
"Yep anyway Asmodai. I need your help with this matter." Twilight said creating a ball of magic in the air that is bigger than a exercise ball.
"Is it what think it is?" Asmodai asked getting excited.
"Yep." Twilight said smirking.
"Alleyoop!" Asmodai said tossing Twilight into the air.
"Diabolical Hardcore!" Twilight said kicking the ball at Trixie who just looks bored.
Then Trixie using her magic made a comically large mirror which reflected the ball of magic back at Twilight and Asmodai.
"Oh crap." Asmodai said before Twilight teleported them away as the ball exploded by a lonesome cloud.
"One more thing. Snips Snails!" Trixie said as the two were unconnected.
Then Trixie used a spell that made Snips a baby and Snails an old man.
"I win. I know you can't do an age spell. So give up." Trixie said as Twilight fell to the ground.
"no." I said quietly.
"Now it's time for you to leave Ponyville! FOREVER!" Trixie said as the rest of the mane six, our parents, the monster trio, and Asmodai got in front of Twilight.
"That's enough, Trixie!" Applejack said.
"You proved your point, but you can't possibly expect Twilight to leave Ponyville!" Rarity said.
"Like Rarity said. Stop acting like a pampered child who lost a game and grow up. You don't have to do this." Michael said.
"You're just a mean butthead." Ash, Flare, and Tora said.
"You were jealous, so what. Just get over it and get stronger and maybe you can start over." Keith said as Yuki nodded.
"Yeah. You just need to-" Marcus said as Trixie interrupted him.
"Shut up!!!" Trixie screamed as wind bellowed.
"She lost, so they must leave. Now get over it!" Trixie said sending us away.
As we tried to rush back to Ponyvile Trixie made a force field that surrounded the entire town.
"A force field huh? That won't stop me. Drill ram break!" I said punching a part of it only to be shocked from it as it blast me a few feet.
"Keshaun! Are you okay?" Twilight asked running towards me.

(Keshaun was only doing the laugh)
"No I'm not. Haha. I'm actually am feeling pain. And it was caused that amulet Trixie was wearing." I said in pain.
"Hang on, I have a senzu bean on me." Twilight said handing me the green bean.
I began to chew then swallow as all of the pain finally went away.
"Thanks for that Twilight." I said as everyone came by the force field.
"Justice don't try to break it. Trust me. Anyway keep an eye on Trixie. That amulet is something bad." I said as everyone nodded.
"Justice, everyone. Be safe. Once we find a way beat her we'll come back." Twilight said as we head to the everfree forest.
(Intermission brought by a chibi Keshaun and Twilight doing more magic training.)
In the everfree forest
Twilight and I were training more in magic. During the time we met up with Zecora.
"Your tale of woe upsets me so. [sips] No wonder you're dour. It's an abuse of power!" Zecora said drinking some tea she made.
"Yeah. It was an abuse of power. But right now we need a way for Twilight to win. Trixie just wants to beat her not me." I said crossing my arms.
"If she trains with me, so good she'll be. I'll show you the way to make sure Trixie won't stay." Zecora said.
"Even with two masters in magic. Twilight could probably still lose because of that amulet." I said.
"I see. Maybe it doesn't have to be magic alone. Because you two have something she doesn't." Zecora said as an idea popped in my head.
"That's it! We'll use our friends and family to help out with taking down Trixie." I said.
"Zecora, you're a genius!" Twilight said giving her a hug causing Zecora to spill her tea.
"Sorry about that." Twilight said nervously giggling.
"We just need to make a note telling everyone the directions for this plan." I said as we heard a knock on the door.
It was Fluttershy and Gilda wearing black jumpsuits. They looked really tight and good on the curves.
"So you two find anything on that amulet Trixie's wearing or did you two come to see me?" I asked acting suave.
"Bit of both actually. Let's talk in side." Gilda said pulling Fluttershy in.
After a bit of talking Twilight, Zecora, and I found out that amulet Trixie is wearing was made by Azi Dahaka.
"It seems that amulet is made with dark crystals like with Blueblood's old rapier or Chrysalis's armor." I said as Twilight nods in agreement.
"If I know how he works. Trixie has to take it off herself. Hmmm. I got an idea." I said
"Twilight challenges Trixie to another magic duel. But we have everyone help out in the spells that it doesn't look like cheating." I said.
"That actually might work. It's a good enough plan and we do have changlings in town." Twilight said.
"This plan is going to work. I'm sure of it. But you have to get back or Trixie's gonna get suspicious." I said as Gilda and Fluttershy nodded.

After getting everything ready Twilight and I are waiting outside the force field. Twilight was wearing the bait as the plan said as.
"You Two! What's the matter, Twilight Sparkle and Keshaun? Not enjoying your exile?" Trixie asked acting coy.
"We know you cheated with that amulet Trixie!" Twilight and I said glaring at her.
"Cheated? Moi?" Trixie asked acting stupid.
"Don't act stupid. We're smarter than that." I said crossing my arms.
"Yeah. And I thought you might wanna see what a real magical amulet looks like. Zecora gave this to me. It's from beyond the Everfree Forest, and it's way more powerful than your measly little amulet!" Twilight said as Trixie was falling for the bait.
"Ha. Like your amulet is more powerful than mine. And nopony is stronger than the great and powerful Trixie!" Trixie said as Twilight was just smirking.
"Wanna bet? How about another duel?" I asked smirking as well.
"Fine but you are also dueling Keshaun." Trixie said raising the force field and letting us in.
We walked to the town square to see Mayor Mare in a cage and flags with Trixie's face on them.
As we looked at each other thunder began to boom in the background as black clouds surround the sky around Ponyvile.
"Let's start with a simple age spell. Shall we?" Trixie said turning Snips and Snails to babies.
"Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow. I'm gonna need your help for this." Twilight said as the three walked towards the statue.
As Twilight began to charge up magic, I gave a thumbs up to the three mares. Then a purple smoke cloud revealed the girls as 12 year olds.
"Oh, ho-hum. So you can do an age spell, big deal." Trixie said not impressed.
"That's nothing try this on." I said blast a beam of magic to reveal Applejack as old lady, Rarity as a baby, and Rainbow as her current age.
Then I continue to do the spell revealing something different each time.
"Got another thing. Wanna see this one?" I said blasting another beam at Gilda revealing a second Gilda.
"Whoa. Cool I always wanted a twin sister." Both Gilda's said.
"How?" Trixie asked surprised by that.
"Duplication spell. Twilight can do as well." I said
As she did. Revealing another Caleb and Justice.
"Now this is something cool." Both Justice's said giving a high five.
"Ever see one pony play ten instruments?" Twilight said firing a beam at Pinkie as she 'became' a one pony band.
"This... just can't be!" Trixie said pride even more broken.
"Oh we got a few more. Spike, Applejack we need you two for this one." I said as Spike walked to where Applejack is.
We then fired a beam that combined as it turned Applejack into a guy and Spike into a girl.
"So this is what tits feel like." Spike said grabbing his/her boobs.
"Well, Trixie, looks like my amulet is more powerful than yours– Hey! Give it back!" Twilight said before Trixie grabbed it.
"With this amulet, I shall now rule all of the universe!" Trixie said as lighting crashed as she took of the amulet she was already wearing. And test it on someone. How about you?!" Trixie said shooting a beam of magical lighting.
"Hahahah! Stop that tickles. Hahahahahah! Please stop I'm gonna pee." I said being tickled by the lighting.
"What? You're supposed to be writhing in agony. Why are laughing?" Trixie asked confused. She also noticed the red and black amulet was missing from her hand.
"By the way, Trixie, the amulet around your neck? It's one of Zecora's doorstops." Twilight said as the doorstop broke apart.
"But... how did you do those spells? Nopony can do those spells!" Trixie said.
"You're right she can't. But that didn't mean I couldn't. While we were training. Twilight figured out how to beat you. And the magic of friendship was the answer. So we did trick a magician like you should've remembered. The switcheroo." I said destroying more of her pride.
"But... what about the pony with the ten instruments?" Trixie asked.
"That was just Pinkie actually." I said as Pinkie continue to dance with the instruments.
After Trixie calmed down a bit. Celestia Daybreak Nightmare Moon and Luna got back with the Saddle Arabian delegates for the cultural party that was happening in Ponyvile. After that Trixie left after saying goodbye and changing a new leaf.
Pinkie tapped my shoulder and then pointed at her lack of mouth. I snapped my fingers and brought it back.
"Thank Faust. I'm so glad to be able to talk again. I'm thankful Trixie only got rid of my mouth. I would've been a gonner if she took my nose as well." Pinkie said smiling.
"I'm just glad to see your smile." I said hugging her.

(Outro sequence)
(Post credit scene:
"Damnit! First Chrysalis, then Sombra, and now that magician!" Azi said growling.
"Azi I think you should calm down. Those three might discover your energy." The Cyan cloaked figure said.
"Fine. Anyway what's the update on freeing that Minotaur?" Azi asked.
"He should be out by next year." the cyan cloaked figure said as Azi began to growl again.
"Fine. I will wait. I am know to be a very patient dragon." Azi said as the cyan cloaked figure walked out of the room.)
