Magical Girl Trixie: Last Gambit
Chapter 24: How it would have ended
Previous ChapterThis story has been cancelled. Everything that comes next is a legitimate spoiler for how the story would have ended. If you want to hold out hope that the story will be continued in the future, I wouldn’t recommend reading the next section, but I sincerely doubt that I will ever finish.
Trixie kills Frost Lass and returns to the base. When she arrives, though, she finds that Daisy Quake is already dead. Trixie, Midnight Sparkle, Daydream Shimmer and Miss Monster discuss what could have happened and come to the conclusion that there was a traitor among them. They examine all the events leading up to the incident, but right when they’re getting close to putting all the pieces together, they start to feel the ground shake. In the next moment, the building they’re in collapses on top of them.
Trixie manages to use her magic to save them at the last second, but immediately, they realize that the traitor is Midnight Sparkle. When they ask why Twilight would betray Trixie like that, she says that she wants to be on the winning side when Autumn Blaze is inevitably released and that she’s willing to sacrifice Trixie for the greater good of all magical girls. Midnight then escapes.
As the three of them go after Midnight Sparkle, Onida shows up out of nowhere in the forest area and takes Daydream to some faraway place across the map. She then tries to fight with Miss Monster and uses her magic to send Beasty into a tree branch, killing the monster. Now that it’s just Trixie and Onida, Onida outmaneuvers Trixie and is about to kill her when Miss Monster is able to finally summon a second beast and kill Onida. The third day ends.
Once they return to CHS, Twilight and Sunset immediately return back to their magical girl forms and attempt to fight to the death. Trixie then transforms and uses her magic to stop them just as Flash Sentry shows up with the fish Trixie asked him to get. He freaks out and runs away, making Trixie feel like she’s lost almost all of her friends again.
The next day when going over their plans (now without Twilight), Juniper Montage tells them that when she came back from the game, she couldn’t transform anymore. They discreetly ask Discord if he could just give her powers back, but he tells them that there’s a block preventing him from giving her any kind of magical abilities. Her powers were gone forever.
Day 4 begins. Trixie and Miss Monster meet up first and run into Panicity. Panicity brags about the look on Trixie’s face when she killed her mother and Trixie completely loses control, inversing her powers to create a gravitational pull that starts destroying Panicity’s body, similar to what happened when Trixie was with Storm Rose in chapter 18. Miss Monster, however, prevents Trixie from torturing Panicity any further, warning her that she’s turning into the villain. Panicity says they should fight without using their powers and Trixie wins, killing Panicity.
The two of them then run into Daydream Shimmer, fighting Midnight and Last Gambit by herself. Midnight tells Last Gambit to leave and that she can take care of everything herself. As Daydream fights Midnight, Midnight absorbs Daydream’s powers and uses them to kill Miss Monster. Day 4 ends.
At the end of the day, Trixie talks to Marrow, asking about why she would erase her memories in the first place. Marrow says she never wanted Trixie to become a magical girl in the first place, specifically because she was afraid something like this might happen. Marrow tells the other Platinum City magical girls to get ready to fight Everfree City and Autumn Blaze one last time.
Cozy Glow approaches Trixie that morning and asks if they can just settle things without the six mile rule this time, and Trixie agrees. Once the fifth and final day begins, all four magical girls remaining arrive in the flat lands. In the subsequent fight, Midnight kills Daydream, but fearing that Midnight might waver once Autumn Blaze is released, Last Gambit takes away Midnight Sparkle’s powers.
Finally, Last Gambit and Trixie have a fight to the death where Trixie loses and has her powers taken away forever. Before Last Gambit kills her, however, she receives all of her memories that were taken away by Discord.
Her last words are “SUMMER BREEZE!” and Last Gambit slices her head off.
Autumn Blaze is released, and when Last Gambit asks Autumn Blaze to revive Divinity, Autumn Blaze mentions that Discord has to die first to prevent herself from getting sealed again. Last Gambit agrees and goes to Manehattan to help fight against Discord. The Manehattan Platinum City girls then declare war on Everfree City. The other Everfree City girls, however, upon having felt death once and realizing that they could die for real this time, decide to sit this one out.
Last Gambit is left fighting all nine Platinum City girls by herself while Autumn Blaze fights Discord. Just as she’s about to steal Graveyard Girl’s powers, however, Graveyard Girl uses her power to kill Last Gambit. (Last Gambit needs to touch someone’s forehead to take their powers. Graveyard Girl can kill someone just from a single touch, so when Last Gambit tries to steal GG’s powers, she ends up killing herself.)
Meanwhile, Trixie is in a void. That’s where she runs into Summer Breeze, and the two of them can finally reunite. While she’s there, however, Summer Breeze says that Trixie can’t stay there. Just as Trixie tries to object, a second girl says that Trixie has a duty that she still needs to fulfill on the other side. Trixie doesn’t recognize her at first, but then realizes that this girl is actually Cross Stitch (also known as the magical girl Divinity).
Trixie asks why she created Last Gambit in the first place, but Cross Stitch explains that she never expected Last Gambit to release Autumn Blaze. Trixie explains that she can’t return because her powers are gone forever, but Cross Stitch tells her that now that Last Gambit is dead, her powers are also gone, meaning that the Great and Powerful Trixie's powers should return. Just as Trixie tries to argue that she wants to stay with Summer Breeze, however, a third woman appears, Trixie’s mother.
Trixie’s mother tells Trixie that she’s so proud of her for everything she’s done. Now Trixie wants to stay even more, but she begins to hear voices calling to her from the outside. When she’s about to ask how she could possibly stop Autumn Blaze, though, Cross Stitch tells her that it’s not only Autumn Blaze that Trixie needs to stop; it’s Discord too. She tells Trixie that with all magical girls put together, they have more power than even the beings that created them, and before she can say anything else, Trixie is brought back to life.
Once she comes back, she looks around to see what’s going on, and to her dismay, Manehattan has become a warzone, just like she’d feared. Picking her up off the ground, though, is Marrow, who brushes her off and explains that she brought Trixie back to life using Last Gambit’s spirit. Discord asks Trixie to help him fight Autumn Blaze, but Trixie immediately runs off to Canterlot to meet up with the other magical girls, both from Platinum City and Everfree City.
Trixie explains what’s going on and how they can help, and with all of them agreeing to Trixie’s plan, they all return to Manehattan for one final battle. Then, with all the magical girls pooling in their powers together, Marrow, Night Seam, Storm Rose, Palette, Mind Games, Cupid Symphony, Paradox, Iron Maiden, Graveyard Girl, Miss Monster, Daydream Shimmer, Midnight Sparkle, Daisy Quake, Mother Time, Panicity, Bloody Mary, Onida, Frost Lass and Trixie all create a rainbow similar to the elements of harmony that turn both Discord and Autumn Blaze into stone.
The world goes back to normal, and the magical girls go back into hiding, helping the world in secret and earning brownie points which they then use to power up their own respective parallel dimensions, Platinum City and Everfree City (which remains the same as how it was during the death game). Flash Sentry apologizes to Trixie, and the two of them win the magical showcase, beating out their one and only competitor, the Snips and Snails duo. (Petunia Paleo ends up rejecting Flash Sentry.) Finally, with the world at peace again, Trixie waits patiently for the day when she can once again reunite with the girl she loves, this time forever.
