Chapter 7:The great and powerful Trixie

"-The great and powerful Trixie!" Her voice boomed, but did not escape the bubble.

"Didn't I already deal with you?"

"You only Vanquished an Ursa Minor. Trixie can vanquish the pony who vanquished the Ursa minor! The great and powerful Trixie will show you once and for all who is the best at magic!"

Trixie's horn shone blue, and a beam of energy shot at Twilight, knocking her on her feet. Twilight got up, a look of determination on her face.

"That's it?"Twilight said.

"Not even close, the great and powerful Trixie has gotten much more powerful than before, if you can believe it!"

Trixie's horn once again glowed blue, but this time a darker hue. The room started to shake, and yet Trixie didn't even seem to be trying. Twilight started up a spell, but was soon hit full on by Trixie's spell. Twilight began to levitate, and couldn't move on her own. Trixie slammed her against a wall hard, then dropped her to the ground. Twilight was down, and could barely move.

"You're all done then?" said Trixie arrogantly. "I figured you'd at least put up a fight, but i understand how pathetic you are in comparison to Trixie. After Trixie finishes you, your friends will be next. Twilight reacted to that.

"I can't let her win, I have to protect my friends." she thought.

Twilight stood back up, as Trixie was too busy gloating to notice. Twilight focused once more on her spell, and it reached completion.

"You may think you're amazing," Twilight said. "But all I see is a show off!"

Trixie quickly whipped around at this, and was blasted with purple was knocked back, but still relatively unharmed.

"So, looks like you can fight after all." Trixie said.

The two of them continued to fire quick, but weak, spells at each other back and forth. Neither was making much headway, until Twilight got an idea. She spent time charging up one of her more powerful spells instead of firing lots of weak ones. Once it was finished, a massive beam was unleashed and sent Trixie sprawling.

"You're good." said Trixie. "But still no match for Trixie! Trixie was hoping she could win without the spells the Followers gave her, but she supposes there isn't any harm in using them, if just to prove Trixie is the greatest!"

Her horn shone a dark purple, much darker than that of Twilight, and the energy welled up into a massive ball. Trixie flung the ball at Twilight, and a massive explosion occurred. Twilight was wrapped in it, and anything she could see was foggy, anything she could hear was muffled. She started to feel worthless, like she couldn't do anything to stop it. She was pulled to the ground slowly, her head touched the floor, her knees folded in, and darkness surrounded her.

"Bend to the will of Trixie!" Trixie said.

But all Twilight heard was sound, it sounded vaguely like speech, but she couldn't tell. She closed her eyes, and her thoughts were overrun with feelings of self-doubt.

"I lost." Twilight thought "I wasn't good enough to help my friends. Not that somepony as worthless as my self could be much help anyway."

She remained like this for a good while as Trixie continued to gloat, until a single memory popped back into her head. Her friends, and how much they need her. How much she needs them.

"I can still win this, for them." she thought. "No, i have to!"

Twilight's horn shone brightly, bright enough to even escape the darkness surrounding her. A small speck of light returned through the darkness. Then more spread through, like cracks. The light spread further until it engulfed the darkness, and shot out as an aura throughout the room. Twilight was glowing with energy, and the aura slammed Trixie into a wall. A loud smacking noise was heard from the hit, and Trixie was down. The aura then faded.

"This...This is impossible!" exclaimed Trixie. "Nopony can defeat Trixie!"

"It seems you will never learn." said Twilight.

Twilight prepared a spell once more, and aimed at Trixie.

"Please! Spare poor Trixie!" Trixie begged, realizing finally that she was at Twilight's will.

"I can't just let you get away with what you've done." said Twilight.

"All right, Trixie admits it! You are more powerful than her!" Exclaimed Trixie.

"It isn't about proving that I'm better, I don't care about that. It's the fact that you would go to such means to prove your power, going so far as trying to kill me." said Twilight. "I'm turning you in to Celestia and Luna, they will decide what to do with you. You'd better hope they are as merciful as I am."

Trixie is too exhausted and pained to speak any more, and Twilight locks her in one of the empty cells, and sealed it against teleportation.
