Dear Sis,

I have some news for ya about Twi, but I warn ya it's not good news. Once we arrived back in Ponyville, we immediately headed towards Twilight's house to check up/ survey her behavior through the window. But after checking every window we couldn't find any sign of Twilight. We asked around town but unfortunately no one's seen her either except for Derpy who stated that she saw her yesterday but after that no ones seen her since. Me and the girls were about to cut her losses and just wait for her to return, but we were soon surprised by a loud explosion and slight rumble near the Everfree forest. Curiosity got the better of us so we decided to head over to the clubhouse to find the cause of the explosion through the telescope that you gave me, and that's when I saw not only twilight but also a hooded figure and Trixie. Yes the same Trixie from months ago, but what caught my eye was the mysterious amulet that was hanging on their necks. It had some sort of evil and rather demonic feel to it, I put two and two together and figured that was the cause of the explosion from earlier. I also managed to catch a glimpse of Twilight's expression, it had a cross between evil and happy and Trixie had the same look too. I know this might be hard to believe but I think Twilight teamed up with Trixie in order to get revenge on ya'll, and that hooded figure must have given them those evil looking amulets to use for their vengeance quest. After that the two of them teleported out of the Everfree to who knows where? Sis I think they might be coming for you guys, so ya might wanna prepare yourselves just in case.

Sincerely

Apple Bloom

After Applejack finished reading Blooms letter, the entire room was speechless. While a part of them didn't want to believe it, but giving how serious the young filly sounded in the letter it made it hard to believe that this letter was a joke. Not only has Trixie returned, but now it seems that Twilight's turned to the dark side and to make matters worse teamed up with Trixie out of all people. And to make matters worse, she now has her hooves on some sort of evil magic amulet to do god knows what to them when she eventually crosses paths with them again.

" I don't believe it" Fluttershy said. " Twilight's teamed up with Trixie?"

"Out of all ponies, why did it have to be her?" Applejack replied in a worried tone.

"Uh are we sure Trixie is that much of a threat guys?" Pinkie asked. " Cause she wasn't as threatening last time, she was more of a nuisance. The only acts that she's pulled was a few property damage to some of the buildings in town, plus she doesn't really have the best track record when it comes to magic"

"Considering the fact that she and Twilight are now equipped with magic amulets " Applejack interjected. " I think it's safe or should i say fearful to say that she's now leveled up a bit Pinkie" As the trio continued to discuss the letter, Shining Armor raised an eyebrow after hearing the name Trixie.

"Wait did you guys say Trixie?" He asked earning the groups attention. " AKA Trixie Lunamoon?"

"Yup that's the one" Applejack answered. " Wait you know her?"

"Oh yes" Shining armor said. " Actually me and Cadence happened to come across her a month ago, and well...................it's like this" And the man then proceeded to tell the story of how he and his soon to be bride met the infamous unicorn.

It happened about a month ago after I proposed to cadence, you see instead of the traditional bachelor/ bachelorette parties me and Cadence decided to take a small trip to Las Pegasus to celebrate our soon to be wedding. As we arrived in the luxurious city we did all sorts of activities from night clubs, dancing, dining at the many fancy establishments, sight seeing, beaches, etc. On the final night we decided to catch a magic show at Gladmane's resort and one of the performers was.............as you guessed Trixie. At first she put up quite a performance, that is until she nearly burned the whole building to the ground with her little fire stunt. After that she was fired by Gladmane himself and we decided to call it a night after nearly getting killed by that so called magician. An hour later we decided to grab a quick drink before heading back to the hotel room, and that's when we bumped into her again. And I tell ya this girl was a total mess, her mane was messy, eyes bloodshot as if she's been crying for hours, and she smelled of nothing but booze. No doubt getting fired hit her pretty hard. At first me and Cadence felt sorry for her............for a few seconds, that is until she got up close and started to flirt with me saying how muscular and handsome I was and of course I pushed her away but this crazy girl just wouldn't take a hint. She even leaned in to try and kiss me, luckily Cadence managed to pull her away from me. But to my shock and surprise she ended up receiving the kiss instead much to her disgust. To make a long story short we got the hell out of there putting that crazy night behind us.

After Shining concluded his little tale, the others were in shock. Not expecting Trixie of all ponies to have been hired by the resort owner Gladmane himself, and the fact that she nearly burned down his resort from one of her performances made them grateful that the couple and the guest managed to make it out alive. And not only that she nearly drunkenly made a move on both Shining armor and Cadence with the princess of love still sick to her stomach from receiving that kiss even though she had nothing against ponies of LGBT culture.

"Wowie zowie ,now that is what I call a doooooooooooooooooozy" Pinky said in shock. " I never realized Trixie swung that way, but I guess it's like they always say " What happens in Las Pegasus, stays in Las Pegasus" This only earned her annoyed glances from the group.

"Pinkie..................FOCUS" Applejack said sternly causing the pink haired mare to stop.

"Sorry" She apologized before speaking again. " But still should we be worried guys? Now that Twilight's teamed duo with Trixie, what's stopping them from heading back to Canterlot to attack us?"

"I wouldn't worry as much Pinkie" Cadence replied. "Even if they are equipped with a magical amulet, they're still outnumbered unless they're planning on building an army or something. Regardless we should prepare ourselves , cause if what your little sister wrote to us is true Applejack. Then I think we're about to go up against an upcoming threat by Twilight herself"

"Indeed" Celestia said in sadness. " Oh Twilight, why didn't I believe you? Who knows what she's planning right now? Oh me, if she ends up becoming the next Nightmare I will never forgive myself" Celestia was on the verge of tears at the fear of twilight becoming a Nightmare just like her sister once was, suddenly she felt a comforting hoof on her shoulder belonging to her niece.

"Don't say that Auntie" She said in a reassuring tone. " Twilight is angry yes, but I don't think the darkness in her is big enough to transform her into a Nightmare. But still it's best that we prepare ourselves , cause if she is heading our way for revenge them we must take caution. And with that magical amulet that she's equipped with , she is without a doubt harvesting some malevolent powers that could cause some serious harm to others and possibly herself. So we shouldn't waste anymore time and come up with a plan too............................"

But before the princess of love could finish her speech, the doors to the meeting room swung opened getting the groups attention as a stallion ran into the room panting slightly as if he was running a marathon. Celestia was quick to recognize the man as her royal messenger, and judging by his state the sun goddess knew that this was not gonna be good news.

"Your................. majesty" He said as he continued to pant while trying to catch his air. " Sorry................... to intrude.................but.........I got..............some ............urgent...................news"

"No it's fine" Celestia replied. " What news do you bring?" The man finally got the chance to catch his breath before finally speaking up.

"There was an incident in the town of Cloudsdale an hour ago" He said earning surprised looks from the group especially Fluttershy at the thought of something going on in her and Dashes hometown. " Witnesses have reported that a duo of ponies started attacking the town destroying everything in their sight ranging from buildings , stores, public properties, street signs, Etc. Thankfully there weren't any fatalities and only minor injuries to a few Pegasus's. Unfortunately no one was able to fully identify the attackers, but most witnesses have reported that the duo were a pair of unicorns wearing a pair of amulets that harnessed some sort of dark energy" The groups shocked looks soon turned to looks of fear , with each of em scared to believe that the duo that attacked Cloudsdale was non other than Trixie and Twilight. While a part of them didn't want to believe that it was true, but given Blooms letter and the description from the witnesses from Cloudslade. They knew it was a pretty safe or should i say not so safe bet on whom those two attackers might be, after a moment of silence the sun goddess finally spoke.

"Dear me" She said is a terrified tone." This is getting worse and worse by the second, my most faithful student wherever you might be right now please don't do something you'll regret for the rest of your life"

Meanwhile back in ponyville

We find the cutiemark Crusades sitting on a booth outside of sugarcube corner with their usual beverages chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry milkshakes in hoof. After bloom informed not only her friends but her sister as well about what she witnessed down in the Everfree forest, the trio decided to settle down to their normal hangout spot while pondering about the fact that Twilight Sparkle may have turned over to the dark side and to make matters worse , with Trixie Lunamoon by her side to cause so much destruction. But what made the trio worried more was the fear of Twilight going after their sisters in a fit of vengeance , and with Rarity still in a coma making her an easy target scared Sweetie belle even more. They then proceeded to take a sip of their milkshakes before finally speaking again.

"Bloom are you absolutely sure about this? " Scootaloo asked.

"I saw what I saw Scoots" Apple bloom answered. " If that ain't a team up then I don't know what to tell ya'll, plus giving the fact that Twi's pissed off at our sisters, seen next to Trixie , and has some sort of evil looking amulet wrapped around not just hers but Trixie's neck as well makes it pretty darn obvious that she's teaming up with her to take revenge on our sisters"

"And judging by what happened over at Cloudsdale an hour ago, It seems that what you said is true Bloom" Sweetie belle jumped in. " And to make matters worse, there's no telling where they're gonna strike next or if they're on their way to Canterlot right now"

" I know Sweetie belle" Scootaloo replied. " Damn is Twilight really that pissed that she'd team up with Trixie out of all ponies for revenge? Just what the hell went down at that wedding rehearsal to cross her so much?"

"Ah don't know Scoots" Bloom said. " But whatever it was, sounds worse than any fight that Twilight's ever had with our sisters and the others since she first arrived here. I just hope she's not planning on doing anything..................." But before the earth filly could continue, the sound of landing could be heard just a few feet away from the cafe/sweet shop earning the groups attention. And to their surprise, there stood non other than Rainbow Dash who had the blankest expression ever as if she was giving up on everything completely. Scootaloo surprised to finally see her idol/ big sister figure got up from her booth and ran towards the rainbow haired pegasus and was quick to embrace her surprising the element of loyalty.

"Dash your back!!!!" Scootaloo said happily as she continued to hug her, and soon Dash was quick to wrap a hoof around the filly returning the hug.

"Hey kid, glad you and your friends are safe" Dash said quietly and with a small smile. After a few seconds the hug ended as the filly spoke again.

"Where did you go?! She shouted. " When I was informed that you didn't return yesterday I was worried"

"Sorry Scoots I didn't mean to make you worry like that" Dash replied quietly. " Lets just say I kind of had a bit of a falling out with AJ and needed a day to myself before returning home, and before you ask I don't really wanna talk about it right now" Scootaloo just nodded her head fully understanding that it was best to not get into her idols personal affairs, soon Sweetie belle and bloom got up from their booth to join the duo.

"Dash did you hear what went down back in Cloudsdale an hour ago?" Bloom asked earning a nod from the pegasus.

"Yup I just found out about it during the train ride back, thank god my parents and the citizens were alright and that there were no fatalities" She replied. " And let me guess, Twilight and Trixie were behind it?" The trio was shocked to hear the Rainbow haired athletes question giving the fact that they didn't even mention the duos names. " And yes I know about the letter you sent to them, Spike actually wrote to me before I departed to the train station"

" I see" Bloom replied. " But why are you back in Ponyville? I get that you had a fight with Applejack but wont the others need you just in case Twilight and Trixie shows up? Aren't you at least gonna help? " Hearing this , Dashes expression was hidden in her bangs before she gave her answer.

"NO" She said in a darkish tone shocking the trio to the core.

"what do you mean no?!" Scootaloo asked in a shock tone. " You can't just sit there and tell me that your not gonna help your friend dash?"

"Former friend" Dash replied, expression still hidden. " Look girls you guys weren't there for the rehearsal, I’m not gonna gonna get into too much detail but lets just say that me and the others weren’t the best of or supportive friends to Twilight. And because of our foolishness, she was almost killed and canterlot was nearly taken over by chrysalis and her changeling army. Honesty i don’t blame her one bit for being angry at us as i wan’t acting like my element at all, and after she attacked not only Fluttershy but Rarity as well when we tried to apologize to her shows that she is beyond apologizing too. Given her behavior it’s pretty obvious that she no longer wants anything to do with us, and who could blame her? We were horrible to her and now she’s out there with Trixie causing destruction and it’s ll my fault for not having her back, I’m just gonna face it girls. Twilight is gone and she’s never coming back and I’m the one who caused it, so I’m done I lost my friend and i don’t think any apology is gonna bring her back” Dash said nothing more and began to trek away from the trio as they watched the sad Pegasus leave the scene, Scootaloo however wasn’t letting her biggest idol give up so easily over a mistake. The filly ran towards the element of loyalty and grabbed her by the tail stopping her in her tracks.

“Scoots let go of my tail” Dash said in annoyance, but the filly wouldn’t budge.

“Not a chance dash” Scootaloo said in a stubborn tone. “ I’m not letting you give up that easily especially towards a friend”

“Didn’t you hear what i just said kid?” Dash replied almost shouting while trying to loosen the filly’s grip of her tail, but still Scoots wouldn’t budge.

“Now see here!” Scootaloo shouted. “ The Rainbow Dash I know wouldn’t give up and runaway like a coward! Sorry I know how much you hate being called that word but it’s true Dash, only a coward would give up on a friend so easily. You , Applejack, fluttershy and everyone else has saved Equestria not one but two times. And the one time when someone’s life is in danger you’re just gonna give up?! You’re right we may not know what went down at the wedding rehearsal but you cant just sit there and tell me that you’re done with twilight? I’m not gonna except that Dash, you’re the coolest Pegasus that I’ve ever met , you always stood up to bullies and never let anyone mess with your home or your friends. And whenever something seemed impossible or challenging you never once gave up, that’s what I Idolized about you. You taught me to never give up so easily, When the doctor said that there’s a chance that I’ll never be able to fly properly you think i just gave up on trying to fly? NO! I keep on trying and trying each day no matter how many times I fall down, You know why? Because even though doctors usually aren’t wrong, I’m not gonna let some prognosis or what ever the heck it’s called from stopping me from achieving my dream and neither should you. Twilight is out there and with Trixie as well, and there’s no telling what her next move is, you can and will not give up on her Dash, sure she’s angry but deep down she can still be saved and I know you think so too. So don’t you dare give up Dash, show me the cool , selfless, and brave Pegasus that you are and save your friend before it’s too late”

Dashes jaw completely dropped in shock not expecting to receive a pep talk from her youngest fan out of all ponies, while a part of her thought that it was too late to reconcile with Twilight after what happened. But she knew that Scoots was right , that’s giving up was never the answer no matter the obstacle. Twilight was out there and she knew that she needed her more than ever, there was no time to give up especially when there’s a friend in need. After a minute of pondering, a determined look formed on the element of loyalties face as she spread her wings ready to take off but not before speaking.

“You’re right Scoots!” She said in a determined tone. “ Damn I can’t believe how idiotic I sounded right now, what was I thinking? I ain’t gonna give up so easily especially when there’s a friend in need, that’s not how I roll. I don’t care how angry Twilight is , I’m gonna make this right no matter how difficult it will be” Dash soon took off into the sky but not before Scoots called out one last time.

“Dash what are you gonna do now? She asked as Dash turned back, her determined look still visible.

“I’m gonna go find my friend” She said. “ Regardless of how pissed off she is, i will apologize to her, even if I have to tie her to a chair and force her to listen. You kids stay safe, i got a friend to save” With nothing more to say Dash took off into the skies to search for her friend as the trio watched on with proud smiles, but non showed the biggest one more than Scootaloo. Happy that her big sister figure wasn’t giving up and that there was still hope.
