A few days later, as more monsters appeared around Equestria, Sam was reframed from using Gomora in threat that he may go on a rampage and hurt somepony. Sam used Gudon against a green ancient monster named Gomess.

An electric eel like monster named Eleking against a black and white comet monster called Dorako.

And a blue dinosaur like monster named Arstron against an alien space bird named Bemstar.

Today Sam, Aurora and Twilight with Inferno and Shade were at Fluttershy’s Cottage with Fluttershy telling her animal friends not to be scare of what Twilight was going to do to them.

“Don't be scared, little friends. Twilight is wonderful with magic,” Fluttershy said before turning around to glare at Twilight, “Anything happens to them, Twilight, so help me...”

“Aww don’t worry Fluttershy”, Sam said, giving her a smile.

“Yeah, Twilight's magic has gotten a lot better since she accidentally crushed Spike and Applejack with a giant snowball,” Aurora added.

“Of course she's good with magic. Twilight's great with magic. I guess I just don't want my little friends to be scared. Oh, oh, look how scared they are!” the yellow pegasus commented with fear while pointing at her animal friends.

However, the animals appear to be excited about helping Twilight with her trick.

“I promise, Fluttershy. Nothing bad will happen to them,” Twilight assured her shy friend.

“I know”, Fluttershy said calming down a bit. Twilight then walked closer to the animals. “Stop, stop!” Fluttershy cried out, “They can't take it!” But Twilight hadn’t even picked the little critters up.

The animal’s glow with Twilight's magic and started to fly in the air while Fluttershy starts biting her hooves. The animals happily flew around in the air in the shape of an infinity symbol, and safely land on the ground.

“Twilight, that looked amazing!” Sam called out.

“Magic, cool!” Inferno chirped.

“Phew!” Twilight sighed, “That's all for now, little ones. Maybe we can practice again later, if Fluttershy says it's alright.”
The animals chittered as they all ran up to a still very scared Fluttershy.

“Your magic has really improved since we came to Ponyville, Twilight,” Aurora said, “Princess Celestia's going to love it.”

“Thanks, you two,” Twilight thanked her children, “I have to be at my best when she arrives with the delegates from Saddle Arabia. I can't believe she's trusting me with the entertainment.”

Suddenly, Rainbow Dash zooms in and crashes into Twilight. She looks frantic about something. “Twilight! Come quick! It's an emergency!” She told her.

“What?!” Sam asked a little worried.

“Somepony is causing havoc in town”, Rainbow said before taking flight, “hurry, quickly”.

When Twilight, Rainbow, Sam, Aurora, Inferno and Shade ran into Ponyville they spotted a hooded mare, who just zapped Rarity spawning a brown dress on her.

“You beast!” Rarity pouts, “this shade of brown should only be used for accents!” She faints as Applejack catches her on her back and walks away with Pinkie Pie.

“Come on, Applejack,” Pinkie said, “we've got to get her in a nice, soothing pink, stat!”

“What's going on here?” Twilight asked in confusion.

“Well, well, well,” the hooded mare said before revealing who she was, “If it isn't... Twilight Sparkle.”

Everypony gasps to see who she was. Her fur colour was light blue while her mane was silver, she was also a unicorn.
“Trixie!” Twilight gasped in shock.

“What’s she doing back here?” Aurora yelled in fright.

“Who?” Sam asked in confusion.

“You call that great and powerful?” Rainbow mocked her magic skills. but Trixie casts a spell on Rainbow, causing one of her wings to enlarge and making her lose balance.

“Oh! She's Rainbow Wobble, now!” Snips told Snails.

“Yeah! Ha ha ha ha!” Snails laughed. Snips and Snails still remained loyal to Trixie. “Good spell, oh Great and Powerful Trixie!”

But that does not move her. “You two! Quiet!” She zapped both of them, fusing the two colts by the tips of their horns.
“Stop picking on my friends, Trixie!” Twilight called out but Trixie didn’t listen.

“You and I have some unfinished business,” Trixie smirked, “my magic's gotten better since I was here last. And I'm going to prove it! Me and you, a magic duel. Winner stays, loser leaves Ponyville forever!”

“Forget it!” Twilight said angrily, “I'd never make a deal like that!”

“Hm, suit yourself”, Trixie said, before she went back to causing havoc, she notice Sam hiding behind Twilight. She used her magic to levitate Sam closer to her. “Oh and what do we have here, a hairless ape”.

“Please put me down”, Sam sobbed in fright. He was shaking in Trixie’s grasp.

“Put my son down now Trixie!” Twilight shouted in anger.

“This freak is your child, Twilight?” Trixie asked evilly.

“MUM HELP ME!” Sam cried out helplessly.

“Duel with me Twilight, or you freak of a son will be turned into a copy of the Great and Powerful Trixie!” She threatened already turning Sam’s hair silver. Judging by how painful expression on Sam’s face, Trixie was doing a number on his scars.
“Trixie please stop!” Twilight pleaded. She didn’t want to see her own son be in so much pain.

“So what will you answer be?” Trixie taunted.

“Alright, Trixie,” Twilight sighed, “let's duel!”

“Excellent,” Trixie explained. She then removes all the spells she made. Sam ran over to Sunset and the Dazzlings for comfort, as they wrap him up in a warm embrace. “If I lose, I won't set hoof in Ponyville again,” she said, “but if you lose, you're the one banished from this one-horse town and you son become my servant!”

Everypony gasped at that statement, Trixie makes the first move and blasts a heavy cart loaded with two barrels of apples into the air. Ponies scramble out of the way from where it's going to crash, but Shoeshine trips and is in danger of being crushed.

Twilight takes control of the cart in time and sets it and its contents right again, just as Trixie hurls six large pies at her. Thinking quickly, Twilight conjures a parasprite, which immediately gobbles up the incoming pies.

The creature burps up another parasprite, but Twilight removes both of them before they can reproduce again. She has barely recovered from the magical exertion when Trixie drops a large sheet of snow on Twilight and the vicinity. Twilight easily melts the snow and shoots a beam of magic at her opponent, causing a long moustache to grow on her face. Twilight's friends laugh and Trixie haughtily snips her facial hair off with conjured scissors.

Trixie then summons Snips and Snails, who fearfully bow to her. She suddenly zaps them with a helical ribbon of red magic that lifts them into the air. When they fall back to earth, Snips has become a wailing foal and Snails has become a withered elderly pony.

“An age spell?” Twilight gasped, “but... how could you do an age spell? That's only for the highest-level unicorns!”

“Well, Twilight? Give up?” Trixie mocked. Twilight determinedly tries to reverse the age spell, but the power required is beyond her capabilities. “Trixie is the highest-level unicorn!” she laughed, she looked back to Twilight to see Sam standing in front of her, eye’s blazing with anger.

“Sam?” Twilight called out to him, Sam turned his head and Twilight saw his eyes were red rather than blue. Sam had been swallowed by his anger.

Sam began walking to Trixie and for once that day Trixie began to get scare. She shot a blast of magic at Sam, but it simply bounced off him. Trixie started to panic as Sam stepped closer and closer to her as she tried to stop him with little to no success. Sam soon came face to face with Trixie, grab the Alicorn Amulet round her neck and pull her until her eyes met his.

Using his Omnitrix, Sam turned into Dorako and had a hook under Trixie’s chin. And in a bone-chilling voice said, “Battle me or suffer a similar fate to Chrysalis”.

The battlefield was set up, and Sam was ready to take revenge for his friends. Trixie was at the other end was also ready, but she was really nervous. The battle started when Sam turned into Bemstar and shot a Bemstar beam from the horn on his head, Trixie which she deflected it with a shield, but she wasn’t fast enough to see Sam/Bemstar come flying in and smacked Trixie into a tree. Trixie tried to fire a beam of magic but Sam simpler absorbed it in his Suction Attractor Spout on his stomach. Trixie started to panic again as Bemstar slowly walked towards her. Bemstar’s gorge open up and started to absorb all of Trixie magic but not from her horn, from the Alicorn amulet.

As Bemstar absorbed more and more Trixie grew weaker and weaker, until the amulet was nothing but a piece of jewellery. Bemstar somehow picked up Trixie limp body and throw her into the air and she landed in the lake.

As Trixie sank to the bottom she realised all the things she did when she first came to Ponyville, and now she’ll die a sad mare in the bottom of the lake. But as her started to lose consciousness, she just got a glimpse out somepony dive in to save her, it was Sam back in human form.

Sam had gotten his emotions back under control once he throw Trixie into the lake. He was in pain due to his scars being expose to the water, but he push onward, determined to save her. He grabbed Trixie’s unconscious body and swam back to the surface. Ponies gathered round the lake to watch Sam swim to the edge with Trixie.

Twilight and her friends helped Sam out with Trixie still in his arms. Sam then gave Trixie CPR to help breath again. It worked as Trixie started to cough up water.

“Oh thank god,” Sam said, as Trixie sat up, a bit confused about why Sam just save her.

“Why did you save me?” she asked, “After I called you a freak”.

“I wouldn’t be a hero if I kill someone not a villain”, Sam joked, before his face turned to one of concern, “Trixie why did you do this?”

Trixie gave up it was no use hiding her past anymore. “A long time ago, after my mother passed, my father grew boastful and blamed everything one me. I wasn’t troublesome, I meant well, but he didn’t think so. He treated me poorly and anything I would do; he would call me a failure.”

Everyone listened to Trixie with sadness in their heart for her. “So I ran away from him hoping to be a good mare, however his attitude rubbed on me and I started to boast that I was the Great and Powerful Trixie. And all the while, I was trying to make my father proud of me, but he never even smiled at me let alone care.”

Trixie had tears stinging her eyes, as Twilight and her friends listen. Trixie felt something wrapped around her necks, she looked down to see Sam hugging her.

“I forgive you”, Sam said, with tears of his own running down his cheeks.

A white light engulfed Trixie, making everyone to shield their eyes. When to light died down, everyone gasping in shock as the useless alicorn amulet changed into Trixie’s cutie mark.

“What in tarnation just happen’ Twi?” Applejack asked.

“Trixie is the eleventh element”, Twilight said in shock, “the element of Empathy.”

Trixie looked down at her neck to she Twilight was right. Twilight walked up to Trixie with a hoof stretched out.

“Trixie, will you come live with us here in Ponyville”, Twilight asked, “we can teach you about friendship together.”

Trixie was hesitated at first but reached out the grab Twilight hoof. And thus a new friend was made.

“Thank you,” Trixie said crying into Twilight’s shoulder, “Thank you so much.”

“First we need to find you a place to sleep”, Twilight said, looking at the Dazzlings, “hey Adagio, do you have a guest room in your house?”

“Yes we do,” Adagio said before helping Trixie to their house, “come on dearie, let’s get you some shelter and food”.
As the days progressed, Sam never regretted saving Trixie from the lake. He just glad that he had another friend to help look after him.
