Z0: Begin the story!

Today seemed like a normal day at school. The students were off in class acting their own usual selves while the teachers taught them or had to deal with their antics. However at the moment...one student in particular, Twilight...was feeling a bit depressed. She still felt guilty about what happened with Trixie at the carnival yesterday, and hoped that she was alright. But...deep down, she still felt guilty for humiliating her in front of all those people.

"Oh. Morning, Twilight," Twilight looked to the side a bit to see Fluttershy walking up to her, a yellow scarf around her neck.

"Oh...hey, Fluttershy," Twilight greeted with a sigh.

"Yesterday was a lot of fun, hai?" Fluttershy asked with a small smile.

"Yeah…" Twilight answered with another sigh.

"...A-are you okay?" Fluttershy asked in concern, earning silence from the violetette, "...It's about Trixie, isn't it?"

"...In a way…" Twilight replied as she looked out the window, "I just...feel so bad about what happened. Do..you think she's okay?"

"I wonder…" Fluttershy sighed in agreement, "I'm sure things will work out. Maybe she'll learn from that and do better?"

"I hope so…" Twilight sighed, resting her head in her open hands as she heard some students talking.

"Did you hear? We're getting a new student today."

"So soon? Wow...think she might be cute like Sunset?" one boy asked.

"Didn't we already get a random transfer student...s…?" one girl spoke up.

"So weird right...it's like something from a TV Drama."

"Well let's hope they're not from that stuck up school, Crystal Prep."

"Eh? New student?" Twilight whispered as she and Fluttershy overheard this.

"Like they said...again." Fluttershy chuckled sheepishly, "It does seem odd to have this sort of thing happen again."

"No kidding…" Twilight nodded, "Still...I wonder who they are?"

"M-Maybe Ryotaro-kun, will know," Fluttershy suggested.

"Maybe...speaking of whom, where is he? He should've been here by now." Twilight paused as she looked at her phone for messages, "Odd...he normally tells us if something has distracted him."

"Zzzzz…" K-Ryotaro snored as he fell to the floor sprayed out, his snoring shaking the floor before Ryotaro's phone on his nightstand fell over on his face, "Ah!" he panicked as he shot up, leaving Ryotaro's body in the process.

"Ah...what…" he muttered grabbing his phone, "Ah...I forgot to charge it last night." he realized before pausing, "That means...my alarm never went off...I'M LATE!" he panicked running out of his room before he quickly backed back in and burst back out in his school uniform. "Why of all the time?!" he shouted before tripping down the stairs.

"Ryo-chan...want me to call school and tell them you're going to be late?" Airi asked from downstairs.

"Hai…" he groaned out.

"Aah...what's all the noise?" Sunset yawned, exiting the guest room.

"Sunset? You're still here?" Airi blinked.

"I took a quick nap after I finished setting things up this morning…" Sunset answered with another yawn, "Excuse me...What did I miss?"

"Time...late...school…"

"...Oh...I see…" Sunset muttered in a tired manner as she picked up a cup of coffee and took a sip...before she ended up spitting it out, "WAIT WHAT?!" she looked over at a nearby clock, "GAH! I slept for that long?!"

"Oh things are so much more lively with two teenagers." Airi laughed slightly, "Don't worry. I'll call ahead for the both of you."

"...You are a saint, Airi," Sunset smiled softly before rushing back into the guest room.

"Helmet...helmet…" Ryotaro muttered as he looked around the building for his motorcycle helmet, which Airi patted with a sigh as he kept overlooking it on the counter. "Where is it?!" he panicked as he dug around in a supply closet.

"Ryo-chan?" Airi spoke, getting Ryotaro's attention as she held the object up.

"...Where…?"

"On top of the hat rack as usual."

"Ah…" he sighed, feeling stupid as he took the safety device. "Thanks." he smiled as he took the bike gloves out of it.

"My pleasure," airi nodded as sunset rushed out, already in her school outfit as she slung her backpack over her shoulder.

"I'm-ready-let's-go!" Sunset shouted quickly as she dragged Ryotaro out.

"Bye!" Airi waved to the cloud dust before she heard the cries of two men being run over. "Must be Isse and Seigi…" she muttered as the two would-be suitors crawled to the door with bike treads over their clothes.

"Morning...Airi-san...ugh…" the two groaned as the fainted, their eyes replaced with swirls.

"Good morning Party People!" Pinkie cheered as she entered the classroom...while setting off confetti blasters for her entrance. "Pinkie in the house!"

"Pinkie…" Twilight and Fluttershy sighed, their hair covered in confetti.

"Oopsie...sorry," Pinkie giggled sheepishly as she hopped into her seat.

"Okay...now that THAT'S out of the way…" the teacher began with a slight sigh before clearing her throat, "Good morning, class."

"Good morning, teacher/sensei."

"Before we start class, I assume you all already heard about a new student joining us today," the teacher explained, "In fact…" she looked over at the doorway, "Come in, please."

"Thank you, teacher," a familiar voice spoke, causing Twilight's eyes to widen a bit.

'That voice...it can't be…' Twilight thought as the door opened.

At that, Trixie walked into the class wearing the female uniform and carrying a case like all the other students. Most of the males stopped and just stared as she walked to the front of the class. Fluttershy blinked in confusion along with Pinkie who was just lost in general.

"Class, meet your new classmate, Trixie Lulamoon." the teacher introduced.

"It's you!" Pinkie shouted in surprise, "OH MY GOD! Your our classmate now?! What are the chances!?"

"T...Trixie…" Twilight whispered, her eyes wide in surprise and shock.

"Good morning, fellow classmates," Trixie greeted with a smile, "I am glad to meet you all, and I hope we can become good friends." she bowed a bit as she walked over to find her seat.

"TAKE MINE!" practically most of the male students there exclaimed as they all shot up.

"Oh...thank you." Trixie smiled at that before she looked at one of the empty disks, "What about this one?" she asked pointing to the one that was next to Twilight.

"Oh that's Ryotaro's desk," The teacher said before the door was pushed open loudly.

"Here...I'm...Here…" Ryotaro panted along with Sunset. "Going down…" he groaned, falling forward.

"Sorry...we're late…" Sunset panted, "We...had some trouble...with traffic."

"Oh it's fine you two, Ryotaro, your sister called and told us. Please take your seats you two." their teacher smiled.

"Can I have a minute…?" Ryotaro wheezed as Pinkie got up and walked over before gently dragging Ryotaro over to his desk and laying him on his stomach over the seat, "Thank you Pinkie."

"No prob, Ryo!" Pinkie saluted, "Oh BTW, that girl from yesterday, Trixie is our classmate now."

"Kay…" he replied as he rested his head on his desk.

"He's much more sociable, but he's just tired." Pinkie explained to Trixie.

"Ahh...I see," Trixie noted.

"...Wait! Trixie's our classmate now?!" Ryotaro exclaimed as he shot up.

"And there's the realization," Pinkie giggled.

"Wait a minute! You mean that magician we saw yesterday is our classmate now?!" Rainbow exclaimed as she and the others were at their usual spot during lunch, "...Rarity, you're the student council president. Did you know anything about this?"

"I honestly did not," Rarity shook her head, "I do recall that a new student was joining our school today, but I had no idea it was Trixie."

"Well how did it go over your head?" Pinkie asked.

"I suppose if it was directly approved by the Principal I might not have noticed." Rarity explained, "In which case...whoever helped her enroll would have to be extremely influential."

"Ooh...mystery." Pinkie spoke in intrigue.

"It is rather odd…" Applejack admitted, "Ah mean, she was a part of the carnival-owned by those two con artist- but now she's suddenly here in our school? That sounds rather suspicious t' me."

"True. Maybe it'll be good to keep an eye out just in case," Sunset suggested, "I mean, from what Ryotaro told me last night-a bit mad at you for pushing Twilight up there by the way, Pinkie-Trixie was unintentionally humiliated, but given how she reacted during the final part...I think it's best to keep an eye out on her."

"Y-" Rainbow nodded before the cafeteria doors opened, "...speaking of whom…"

"Greetings, fellow students," Trixie greeted with a smile as she walked in, looking for a place to sit before she spotted the table Twilight and the others were sitting at, 'Perfect…' "Hello. May I please eat with you all?"

"Huh?" most all of them blinked.

"You want to sit...with us?" Pinkie asked a little surprised, "Well sure!" she smiled getting over it.

"Uhm…" Rainbow looked at Twilight.

"It's fine, I'd like to make amends for what happened." Twilight explained before looking at the others, "Might as well welcome her."

"That's right." Ryotaro smiled before everyone heard ringing from his pocket, "One second." he said taking out the K-Taros and walking off. "Hai...Sakurai-san?" he blinked.

=You're not busy are you?=

"Well...I was about to eat lunch a-" Ryotaro began.

=On second thought not really the time to be polite, Nogami something big is probably about to happen=

"I'm sorry?" Ryotaro blinked, getting up as he started walking away to take the call somewhere more private.

"Who's Sakurai?" Trixie asked, breaking the awkwardness.

"Sunset's roomie and our friend," Pinkie replied, "Rather grumpy, but he's a big ol' teddy bear once ya get to know him! *Squee*" she replied before being shushed.

"Ahaha...yes he is a character." Twilight chuckled, "But he's...actually why isn't he here?" Twilight changed the subject.

"Beats me. Something he needed to go 'fix' something at work." Sunset replied with air quotes to help them realize what she meant.

"Oh."

"'Fix something'?" Trixie repeated.

"He's uh...it's complicated," Rainbow answered.

"What's this about something big about to happen?" Ryotaro asked as he stood on top of the school roof.

=The tracks of time don't just become a mangled mess for no reason.= Yuuto explained.

"The tracks of time are literally the timeline, the ones DenLiner make are an exception obviously. But like the theory of multiple timelines, the tracks branch off and make different paths, you can trace one back to an original line. And in theory travel to alternate timelines. However it's just a theory." he explained as ZeroLiner smashed through several tracks in it's path, "Likewise new tracks are formed with the possibilities of a new future or two, and likewise tracks are erased as timelines are." he went on.

"So...multiple timelines are forming all at once?" Ryotaro asked "What could that even cause?"

=That's just the thing, the Imagin come from a future that is lost. They are working to make it happen, this could mean without our knowing...they are succeeding. But likewise, another future could result of this eventuality. Either good...or bad.=

"How can we tell, we can't just travel to the future and see it. Can we?"

=Yes and no, if it's for protecting the fabric of time...then yes we can just use that authority and take a peek at the future.=

"But?" Ryotaro muttered.

=But it's never guaranteed what will happen if we do. Rather...it make more sense if the you or me from the future comes back to prevent it=

"But...how could another you come back in time? Let alone a me?"

=For me that's one story for you it's another. You're a Singularity point...you can literally do anything in the timestream...and suffer no ill effect...but that says nothing of the others around you.=

"So...someone from the future is trying to come here?"

=Most likely to ensure a favorable future comes about. How far ahead? Maybe a few years or maybe even a few decades. Your trait is genetic...maybe future you manned up and started a family and now your son is doing a Back to the Future to make sure you and his mom hook up=

"...Soka…" Ryotaro noted with a slight sweatdrop.

=This is literally time travel Nogami, any number of things can happen, go wrong, or even right. And sometimes...you need to make a stupid plunge to see what comes of it.=

"I'm sorry...what stupid plunge?" Ryotaro asked.

"Something is on the other side of all these tracks." Yuuto spoke as he put on his Zeronos helmet as he saw a red glow far beyond the tracks, "Something wants to come here...well I intend to welcome it."

=Isn't that dangerous!?=

"Nope. If it were...I'd be more worried." Zeronos replied as he revved the throttle as ZeroLine deployed it's drill. "Later Nogami. I got work to be doing." he said, hanging up before he let go of the break, letting ZeroLiner crash into the tangled tracks and tear through them.

"...Noted…" Ryotaro muttered as he put his phone away,'Still...if what he said is true...what could be trying to get through?'

"Pfft! He's probably talking out of his ass," Momotaros scoffed.

"Say what you will Senpai, Sakurai Bouya has more knowledge of how the Sands of Time work." Urataros reminded.

"I know that! He doesn't have to be a cocky asshole about it!"

"Pot meet kettle…"

"Stay out of it, tori-yaro!" Momotaros snapped at Sieg.

"Still...this can't be a good sign regardless." Ryotaro spoke mostly to himself.

"...Trixie, mind if I ask you something?" Twilight asked cautiously.

"Of course," Trixie nodded.

"Why are you here at our school?" Twilight asked, "I mean, weren't you apart of the carnival?"

"Maybe it's because of y-" Pinkie began before Twilight shoved a bagel into her mouth.

"Shut! Up!" Twilight hissed before bowing her head to Trixie, "I apologize about that."

"No no. It's fine. As for your question…" Trixie paused as she looked to the side a little, "I...resigned."

"Oh...I'm sorry, Trixie…" Twilight hung her head a bit, "I hope it wasn't because of me."

"Yeah, Twilight. You really shouldn't have exagera-" Pinkie began once more before Rainbow stuck some tape over her mouth, "Hmph?!"

"Shut up!" Rainbow growled, "You...don't get to talk since that wass all...your...FAULT!" she roared in her ear, making Pinkie whimper and slide down her seat and under the table, "Please go on." Rainbow smiled kindly after that.

"It's fine, really," Trixie assured, "It was my decision after all."

"But...aren't the park owners your family?" Fluttershy asked.

"...I also thought so…" Trixie whispered with a sigh.

"Oh! I...I am so sorry. I didn't mean to ask that question," Fluttershy quickly apologized.

"No no. It's fine. It's just...moving on," Trixie cleared her throat.

"But...do you have any place you can stay?" Twilight asked in worry.

"It must be mighty inconvenient t' have to move out so suddenly." Applejack added.

"It's fine. I have a place," Trixie replied with a smile, "I met a young entrepreneur that enjoys my magic tricks, and offered me employment and a place to stay."

"Seriously?!" Twilight gasped.

"Wow. Talk about lucky," Rainbow commented.

"Indeed. Although…" Trixie paused as she tapped her cheek in thought, "He asked me of one last task before accepting me."

"...And that is?" Sunset asked, the red and yellow haired girl starting to get a bad feeling in the pit of her stomach.

"It's something I want to do as soon as possible," Trixie answered, 'Oh you'll find out soon enough…'

'Oh I didn't like the sound of that...in fact, shouldn't they have as well?' Sunset mentally spoke to herself as she looked at Trixie, 'Then again...most people wouldn't, unless she charmed herself. That might even explain why suddenly all the boys are so obsessed with her. Hm...I can't risk saying anything now.'

"...now if I may ask something, how close are you all?" Trixie asked, "I can tell you and that boy Ryotaro are very good friends."

"Mmm hmm!" Pinkie nodded excitedly before ripping the tape off her mouth and pulled the others into a group hug, "We're besties for life!"

"I see," Trixie noted with a slight giggle, 'Heh...I'm pleased to know…'

"Between you and me, some of them have more than friendly feelings towards Ryo." Pinkie grinned leaning across the table. "Wink." she laughed.

"Alright that's enough out of ya." Rainbow said smacking her thermos on Pinkie's head knocking her face first onto the table, "You're not as cute as you think you are to get away with these shenanigans."

"Augh...Rainbow meanie…" Pinkie groaned, her eyes swirling from the pain to the back of her head.

"More like she's trying to be sensible…" Rarity muttered a bit.

"Well..this was nice and fun, but I must be leaving," Trixie spoke as she stood up, "I hope to see you all again and class. Oh, and Twilight?" she held her hand out to the violetette, "I hope we can become good friends."

"Yeah. Of course, Trixie," Twilight smiled as she accepted the handshake..only to tense up a bit when she felt an odd stinging sensation for a second, "?"

"What's wrong?" Pinkie asked in worry.

"Nothing. Just...felt my hand getting itchy for a second," twilight replied as Trixie began to walk away.

'Friends….heh heh heh...a snake can never hope to be friends with a rat,' Trixie thought with a smirk as she began to leave the cafeteria, walking past Ryotaro as she did. Trixie paused as she looked at him, her eyes glowing as she stared at a multicolored aura surrounding his body, 'Odd...he said something about him was special...but that's not at all what I expected.'

Suddenly, the aura turned pure red as his hair spiked up. M-Ryotaro grabbed a pudding cup off the tray of a bully before scaring him off with a growl. He laughed seeing the weaker boy scramble to escape his threat that everyone knew he was good for.

'...Still...better be cautious about him,' Trixie thought as she resumed her leaving.

Everyone returned to their classes after the final bell. Everyone scrambled to class as the next lessons began. However...one student seemed to be missing at the moment, a certain cornflower-bluette.

"...Where they heck is Trixie?" Twilight whispered, looking at the empty seat next to her, 'She should've been back by now…' she was about to say something before she tensed up a for a second, "?!"

"Eh? Is..is everything alright, Twilight?" Fluttershy whispered, looking at her friend in concern.

"Nothing. Just...felt a shiver going through my body is all…" Twilight answered.

"A...shiver?" Ryotaro blinked.

"Yeah. A sh….shi….Snrk...Shiv…." Twilight couldn't finish, the violetette starting to snicker before she began to laugh loudly, "AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"Twilight?!" Ryotaro and Fluttershy asked in worry as she kept laughing.

"Wh-what's wrong?" Fluttershy asked in worry.

"I! I d-tee hee! Don't know! Hahahahahaha!" Twilight laughed before she began to calm down, "Ahh...ahh…"

"...Despite Miss Sparkle finding it funny, the World War was not fun at all for the soldiers who fought in it," the teacher stated in a deadpanned voice.

"I'm so sorry!" Twilight spoke up while covering her mouth and blushing in embarrassment, "I...I don't know what happened."

"...Well keep it in control," the teacher sighed as she turned around, 'Now then, the W-"

"KYA!" Twilight yelped as she shot up, holding her rear before shooting a glare at the student behind her, "Did you just pinch me!?"

"I don't know what you're talking about…" the student sweatdropped.

"Well wh-KYA!" Twilight yelped as she felt the stinging sensation on her butt again, "Ryotaro?!"

"It wasn't me! I swear!" Ryotaro held his hands up in defense, '...Urataros…'

"I did no such thing!...Tempted too at one point, but brushed the idea off!"

"LIAR!" Momotaros and Sieg snapped.

"How dare you even consider harming my hime with such lewd actions!" Sieg snapped.

"But I swear it wasn't me!"

'Filter...really need one…' Ryotaro mentally muttered as the three Imagin argued.

"Twilight Sparkle!" the teacher shouted, "I don't know what's wrong with you, but no one has moved from their seat but you." she stated as Twilight looked around in apology, "I have no idea what's going on. You've never acted like this before."

"I...I'm sorry. I...I don't know w-" Twilight began before her eyes widened, a sudden burning sensation going through her body, 'Wh...what's happening…? I...Y feel...dizzy and...completely...exhausted…'

"T...Twilight?" Fluttershy blinked a bit before she gently touch her friend's forehead, "Oh my! You're burning up!"

"Fluttershy...I...I…" Twilight panted as she began to fall out of her seat.

"Twilight?!" Ryotaro panicked as he caught her, "Twilight, what's wrong?" he asked in worry as she was breathing hard.

"We need to take her to the nurse's office!" Fluttershy said as she got up, "Teacher, may w-"

"You have permission," the teacher nodded, a worried look on her face.

"Thanks," the two nodded as they rushed out, Ryotaro carrying the heavily panting Twilight.

"I...wh…" Twilight whispered as she began to lose consciousness, the voices of her friends starting to fade out as her eyes began to close.

"Tch..damn it. Still not making any headway here…" Yuuto frowned as ZeroLiner continued to drill through the mished-mashed tracks, "In fact...it's like there's more getting in my way…" he pulled out his phone and dialed in a number, "Oi, Sunset, I'm no-"

=I'm sorry, but the number you have dialed is no longer in service. Please hang up and dial again=

"Ah...screw it...better to focus on this." he growled as he looked at a pair of red lights/eyes far on the other end of the tracks, "Alright, time to find out what you are!" he roared as he put the petal to the metal.

"Mmm...mm…" Twilight groaned a bit, currently resting in a bed as she began to regain consciousness, "Wh...what happened to me?" she whispered as she woke up...to the sight of a sandy Momotaros staring at her, "..."

"Yo. About time y-" Momotaros began before he was decked in the face.

"The hell are you doing, Momotaros you idiot!?" Twilight snapped, her fist balled up in anger.

"Heh...that's some form of kindness for worrying about you. Fine! Next time you get hurt, see if Den-O helps you." Momotaros replied reforming.

"Help? Wh...that's right. I passed out…" Twilight whispered in realization before she looked around, "We're in the school infirmary."

"No shit, Sherlock," Momotaros deadpanned.

"...Hold on," Twilight blinked before frowning a bit at momotaros, "Why aren't you at Denliner or in Ryotaros' body? In fact...how did you get in here without Nurse Redheart seeing you?"

"That's the thing…" Momotaros spoke as he turned around and pointed at the woman sleeping, "Suddenly she just passed out like that."

"Suddenly passed out?" Twilight repeated before she noticed the evening sun outside, "...Wait. How long have I been out?"

"Quite a while."

"...Ugh...talk about professional," Twilight muttered as she stood up, grabbing her button-up shirt and began to put it on, "Nurse Redheart, wake up. I have to go...to...Nurse Redheart?"

"Zzz…" the nurse snoozed softly.

"Not gonna work. I've been making noises to wake you both up for an hour now," Momotaros explained, "You only woke up after I saw a bunch of other kids outside drop."

"Wait, what?!" Twilight's eyes widened at that before pulling her braid out and put it on, letting her see a faint aura around the nurse, "...It's just as i thought...someone cast a sleeping spell over the school...Where's Ryotaro and the others?"

"..."

"...Momotaros, answer me," Twilight demanded with a slight frown, "Where are Ryotaro and the others?"

"I don't know." he replied, "Ever since he dropped I came to find you...but since the,n I haven't been able to sense him. Something is getting in the way of my connection to him."

"No way…" Twilight's eyes widened further at that, "But...who culd've done this? Was...was it an Imagin?...Did Luna somehow f-"

"If you want to know where your friends are, come to the soccor playing field," a voice spoke in Twilight's mind.

"?!" Twilight tensed at that, the violetette recognizing that voice, "No way...it..it couldn't be…"

"What?" Momotaros asked.

"...We need to head to the soccer field…" was all Twilight said as she rushed out.

"Oi! Wh-what up!" Momotaros shouted, turning into a ball of light as he flew after her.

It took the two a couple of minutes to reach outside as they rushed towards the soccer field, Twilight panting a bit. After a few more moments of running, she spotted her friends laid out in the middle of the field, an orb of light floating above the six as they were unconscious.

"Ryotaro!" Momotaros panicked, flying over before reforming next to him, "Eto...Kaze, Honoo, chikyu...Mizu...Rainbow...ah! Mystery girl is not here!?" he noted, seeing Sunset not present.

"But..this shouldn't be possible," Twilight whispered, seeing the same faint aura around her friends, "The spell shouldn't have affected Rainbow and the others thanks to their jewels, and the other Taros should've taken over Ryotaro...who…"

"I'm glad you finally awoken, Sparkle…" a voice spoke, getting the two's attention as they turned to see Trixie walking over, wearing her hat and cape while she wielded a wand resembling a light-blue unicorn horn, "I was afraid that I had exceeded my great powers when I made you unconscious."

"T...Trixie?" Twilight blinked before realizing what she said, "Wait. You caused me to faint?!"

"Correct…" Trixie gave a low chuckle as she looked at Twilight with a dark smile, "Did you truly think you're the only one in this world that can use real magic?"

"?!"

"It now makes sense...how a total stranger was able to beat the Great Trixie," Trixie smirked.

"Oi! How do you…?!" Momotaros began.

"Know that Twilight Sparkle uses magic, Imagin?" Trixie finished, making the two tense up, "Maybe you should've listened carefully, especially you Sparkle when I mentioned I met somebody who helped me and asked me to do something I couldn't refuse…" her smirk grew as she pointed at Twilight, "To defeat you, my nemesis! You, Twilight Sparkle, Bearer of Magic!"

"Who told you I'm a Bearer?" Twilight asked in shock.

"That person I mentioned? He told me everything about you and your friends, awakened my spiritual powers, and taught me some magic, enough to confront you. And he told me about Equestria and what we really are" Trixie answered, "As for how I know about the Imagin...heh. Let's say his 'business partner' filled me in on it."

"Business partner?"

"Yes. The immortal King of Thieves himself, Gaoh."

"?!" Twilight and Momotaro's tensed at that.

"You know…" Trixie paused as she looked at her wand, I have to admit that it's hard to believe, stuff about magic being real and time travel..but once I experienced the things I can do myself, and what they showed me...everything became clear to me."

"Trixie! Whoever Gaoh is working with, don't listen to him!" Twilight tried to reason, "They're most likely manipulating you!"

"You're wrong!" Trixie snapped, "I do this for myself, to demonstrate I am better than you!"

"Who cares who's better?!" Twilight snapped back, "What does it matter who's better at something!?"

"IT MATTERS TO ME!" Trixie yelled, tears of anger forming in her eyes as she glared at Twilight, "He told me that destiny always puts us against each other, and that you always won, but only because of the Power of Harmony was helping you! But now in this world, I've been given a power through which our forces shall be equal!"

"Wh...what are you talking about?" Twilight asked, starting to feel a bit uneasy now.

"I mean this…" Trixie answered, her tears disappearing as she held up her necklace, showing a rather large Shard of Discord attached to it.

"Oh crap...a Shard of Discord, but gem sized…" Momotaros whispered, "Are you crazy?!"

"Trixie, you have to get rid of that!" Twilight shouted, "The longer you hold that, the more the power of Discord will corrupt you."

"Ohohohohoho! Do you think I'm that mentally weak?!" Trixie laughed in a mocking manner, "I'm strong enough to not be controlled by anyone, not even this Discord creature!"

"Trixie, listen to m-" Twilight began.

"Silence!" Trixie snapped, making Twilight flinch a bit, "Prepare yourself to face me, Twilight Sparkle!"

"No! I won't fight you!" Twilight yelled back.

"...You sure about that?" Trixie asked with a dark smirk, "If you don't face me, then the people of this school will never wake up from their slumber, and your friends will succumb to oblivion forever."

"What do you mean succumb to Oblivion?" Twilight asked.

"I imagine you and the Oni have seen the field of light they lie on," Trixie smirked as she pointed to Twilight's unconscious friends, "That is the Oblivio Spell."

"Oblivio?" Twilight repeated.

"Yes. With every passing minute, that spell is removing parts of their memories and moving them into that sphere of light you see," Trixie explained as bits of light floated out of Ryotaro and the girls' heads, "If my calculations are correct...heh. Before nightfall, all their memories will have been cleared from their minds. Oh, and last I check..." she looked over at Momotaros, "Imagin need memories of their contract holders to remain, or else they disappear."

"Teme…" Momotaros groaned.

"That's impossible, the jewels should protect them." Twilight spoke, "You...how did you?"

"It wasn't easy." Trixie said, holding up a bag with a jingling sound in one hand, and Ryotaro's bet and pass in the other. "In fact it took me near all the time you here napping." she smirked, "The pink haired ones were easy. They were so worried about you they didn't even...see...it coming." she taunted, "Rarity and Rainbow were difficult though...but...oh once I threatened Fluttershy and Ryotaro...they complied. And Applejack...second verse, same as the first." she laughed, "It's funny how far they'd go just to keep me from doing a little harm to them."

"...What about Sunset?"

"Hmm?"

"Where is she?" Twilight demanded with a slight frown.

"...Oh. You mean bacon hair…" Trixie sighed.

"Well...that name's stuck…" Momotaros muttered.

"I don't even know...the moment I took down Ryotaro...she vanished. I figured she turned and ran to save herself." Trixie shrugged, "Oh well, she didn't seem like a threat."

'That doesn't sound right...Sunset knows so much about magic...more than I do. She would have...beaten her easy. Unless she knew about the others. So...then what is she doing? Sunset would never abandon us...so that means she's planning.' Twilight mentally realized as she took in all the information.

"But I believe we've delayed things long enough," Trixie smirked, putting away the items she stole before going into a stance, "If you want to save everyone here, and regain your friends' memories, then you have to defeat me in a real duel of magic. And as for the Imagin...he can watch until he fades. Or participat, but given his current form...I highly doubt that."

"Why you cocky….!" Momotaros growled, "Oi, mahou-onna! You better not lose to this psycho-bitch!"

"I am not a psycho!" Trixie snapped at him.

"You see this and don't think it's psycho!?" Momotaros shouted, "I beat on people who deserve it...but this...this is just nonsense! Threatening people who have nothing to do with this magic crap...yeah that's totally reasonable!"

"Grr…" Trixie glared at him before looking back at Twilight, "So what do you say, Sparkle? And answer quickly…" she looked over at the sun as it was starting to set, "The clock is ticking~"

"...Lookslike I got no choice…" Twilight sighed as she summoned her gear, "Fine, Trixie! I'll face you in a duel!"

"Well said, my eternal rival," Trixie smirked, "But before we begin, let me give you something more appropriate," she snapped her fingers as a wizard's hat and cape landed on top of Twilight, "Just as I'm wearing my own hat and cape, I've given you a set of your own, ones identical to mine. That way you'd at least look like a real magician."

"I don't want any of your nonsense." Twilight complained throwing them away and onto Momotaros.

"Hey!" The Imagine complained trapped under the cape.

"Let's just start already." Twilight urged wanting to end this as soon as possible.

"You'll regret having not accepted the gift of a sorceress." Trixie teased playfully.

"You're not a sorceress, you only just learned to use magic last night." Twilight countered in frustration.

"Heh...very well, Sparkle. I'll have to show you then…" Trixie smirked as she raised her wand, "Dueling Field: Restricting Circle!"

Twilight tensed as a large pentagram magic circle formed underneath her, Trixie, and Momotaros, an image of a upside down pyramid with an eye in it floating above Twilight's head, "Wh-what did you do?! What's this thing I have on my head?!"

"Heh..tell me, Sparkle, have you ever heard of Field Spells?" Trixie asked with a grin.

"Sounds like something borrowed from a children's card game…" Momotaros laughed.

"...You could say that in a way if you're referencing that particular card game," Trixie rolled her eyes before a dark grin grew on her face, "But if you want to get technical...think of it as...oh I don't know, a Shadow Game?"

"Shadow...game?" Twilight repeated confused.

"It means even if things seem simple, you're gonna suffer some pain." Momotaros explained, "I speak psychopath." he shrugged, finally getting free from the cape.

"Now here are the rules," trixie spoke as she cleared her throat, "We'll each have a turn in making an attack on our opponent. Once you cast your attack, the turn will switch over to the opponent, and the cycle continues on after that. However, the opponent has the right to defend themselves with their own spell, but cannot use it for a counter attack. Furthermore, since you agreed to the Magic Duel, the field will prevent both of us from leaving until one of us is victorious."

"...What's the catch?" Twilight asked with a frown.

"Oh ho~ You catch on well," Trixie giggled a bit, "fine...if the spell hits, your opponent receives double the damage of the spell's strength. If the attacker cannot hurt their opponent, then they receive half the damage sent instead. Don't you think that's fair?"

"Yeah...cause a game with the girl who's idea of fun is reading and studying sounds like she get's turn based strategy…" Momotaros muttered.

"Oh, and by the way? That triangle above your head? It indicates that it's your turn, and you have...well had a minute to decide on what type of attack spell to use," Trixie added with a smirk, "So get ready for a penalty, Sparkle."

"What?!" Twilight asked processing all of that before she suddenly stumbled, her body shaking as a sudden sense of pain raced along her entire body.

"Mahou-onna!" Momotaros shouted as he saw what happened to her suddenly, "You kept us talking on purpose to waste her turn!"

"Perhapes. But now it's my turn…" Trixie smirked as she raised her wand, causing a large azure orb appearing above her, "Fatuo!" she declared as the orb began to fire multiple azure fireballs at Twilight.

"B...Barrier!" Twilight called out as she quickly formed a magic circle before her, causing the fireballs to hit it instead.

"What?! Damn!" Trixie cursed before she felt a stinging sensation in her heart, causing her to clutch her chest for a moment as the pain subsided, "We...well done, Twilight Sparkle.."

"Trixie, please stop this! You're only causing yourself more harm!" Twilight shouted as the turn marker formed over her head.

"Never! Not until you pay for what you did to me yesterday!" Trixie snapped.

"I said I was s-"

"No! You're not!" Trixie snarled, "While you and your friends lived happily with your families, I had to reform mine after losing them in that hut! And when I thought I finally found one, you came along and made me lose them again! Which is why after I defeat you, I'll do something far worse to you than your friends!" A dark grin grew on her face, "Actually..I thought of something better….After I take your memories away, I'll scatter you all across the entire planet. You'll be like four-year olds in an unknown location!"

"Trixie...all that hate inside you...who made you become like this?" Twilight asked as she just stared at the look of rage on Trixie's face...only for it to twist into a look of insanity as her eye began to glow menacingly, 'Oh no...Is Discord already starting to affect her mind?...I'm sorry, Trixie...I need to finish this quickly.' "Momotaros?"

"What?" he asked before he was reverted to a ball of red, "Oi...what...what are you doing to me!?"

"You have a stake in this too," Twilight answered before smirking a little, "And she did say you could participate, but wasn't specific on how."

"Oi...you said yourself! you hate when I posses you!"

"That's not what I meant exactly, but you do have a certain skill which I lack, battle instinct." she replied, "So I need a navigator."

"Oi oi oi! Don't! Please don't do anything magic to me!" he begged before Twilight grabbed the ball.

"Sorry, but I can't waste the turn! So for now make yourself useful!" she shouted as she formed a magic circle before tossing Momotaros through it.

Trixie blinked before a full bodied Momotaros was ejected out the other end. "What?"

"Itai…" Momotaros complained as the turn marker appeared over his head, "Eh...what's this thing?"

"It worked." Twilight smiled, "I used a familiar spell to summon you as one, and I was right by doing so you've taken the next turn instead of Trixie." she explained before grunting as the penalty affected her again, "With that, the fight has changed to two on one." she grunted.

"..you little sneak…" Trixie frowned as she glared at Twilight.

"You...did say he could participate," Twilight countered in her panting, "We are spell casters...you don't have what the Imagin offer, natural battle instinct." she said as Momotaros summoned his sword.

"So...I just need to beat her up before she can cast a spell attack or defend?" Momotaros simplified, "And with that, we get Ryotaro and the others back, sounds easy enough." he grinned as he charged and slashed at Trixie who quickly ducked under it, "Gh...I'm not as fast as I am with Ryotaro's body!" he complained as the Turn marker vanished, a sudden jolt of pain going through his body.

"...Just for that little trick, I have something special in mind…" Trixie frowned before crossing her arms, "Manifest, Trick of the Box of Swords!"

"Wha?!" Twilight gasped before a box appeared behind her and was suddenly dragged in by a pair of hands, the box sealing shut as her eyes was seen via a small opening, "Oh no! I'm trapped."

"Let's see if you can escape this," Trixie smirked as swords began to form and float around her, "Dance of Swords!" she declared as the swords flew towards the box Twilight was trapped in.

'Oh no...think...think...Sorry Momo.' Twilight quickly chanted a spell, "Substitution!" Suddenly Momotaros was replaced by Twilight as the swords jammed into the box. Sand began pouring out from the holes before it all seeped out and reformed into Momotaros who looked more shocked then harmed.

"Ah….bah...that scared me…"

"What...but...he was hit?" Trixie spoke before she felt the pain of a missed attack, "How?"

"Momotaros isn't really in a full body, he's still just a mass of sand...nothing you do can harm him. Meaning as long as he's here, you won't be able to win." Twilight panted, catching her breath, "I could already read the pattern, we would endlessly block attacks and waste turns, but I'm smart enough to know Momotaros will shake up that pattern."

"Grr…"

"Also, You realize you just tried to kill me!" Twilight snapped.

"Of course I...I…" Trixie began to trail off, a shocked look beginning to appear on her face, "n...no no...you're wrong...I...I would never…I knew you'd escape, but..."

"...ilig….Twilight!" Celeste's voice suddenly shouted in Twilight's head.

'Sis?' Twilight asked.

"Oh good heavens...I finally got a hold of you," Celeste sighed in relief, "Twilight, please be careful. Discord has begun to control that girl's mind. You need to finish this duel before it's too late!"

'I...I know...you don't have to tell me twice...And I'm fine by the way.'

"Listen, I managed to contact Zecora, but she told me something made her teleportation spell divert to outside the city," Celeste stated, "It's going to take her some time to get here."

'So why did you send for her if she's not gonna make it in time?' Twilight asked with a groan, 'Everything that you're doing is just causing us more problems!'

"T-Twilight?" Celeste gasped a bit in surprise, "Wh...why did you…?"

'I...I'm sorry. I didn't mean it. I...I guess I'm just a little nervous is all…'

"...Something strange is happening to Twilight,' Celeste whispered as Naomi tended to the remaining, yet weakening members of the Taros

"She's being strung along." Urataros spoke, getting her attention, "In this situation, it's clear Trixie is using what she knows of Twilight to get her to overexert herself...tell her she needs to rely on Senpai more if she wants to win" he groaned, sitting up.

"Twilight is smart. She will learn how to win, but the Trixie girl...she is baiting her." Kintaros grunted.

"Twi-chan isn't a good fighter, and she sticks to what she knows works. That's not good against someone who knows about you." Ryutaros added from his spot.

"Curse that witch...for mentally harming my hime!" Sieg groaned.

"...Twilight…" Celeste whispered, starting to see sand seeping from the four Imagin, "Please hurry."

"My turn, Trixie!" Twilight shouted, forming the energy blade in her hand before slashing forward, "Blade of Energy!"

"Screen of Smoke!" Trixie declared as a veil of smoke covered her, the cutting wave hitting it as it disappeared while Trixie appeared in a different spot, "What next?"

"Oi, Mahou Onna, try not to use all your big attacks too fast! Remember, you take half the damage you intend to inflict if she blocks or you miss." Momotaros replied, "Stay small, small attacks!"

"I know that!" Twilight snapped.

"DON'T SNAP AT ME!" Momotaros shouted back, "You're the one who called me in to help, then shut up and listen for once! Cause right now you're dumber than me understand!"

"I know, so stop pressuring me!" Twilight snapped, her voice distorted for a second before she tensed up, "...Wh...what was that?"

"Ahem!" Trixie cleared her throat, catching their attention, "I believe it's the oni's turn? He has..." she pulled out a small pocket watch from her shirt pocket, "Oh look. His minute already passed."

"Damn it!" Momotaros cursed before he felt the shock from the penalty, making his body shake before reforming, "Ow…"

"And now to show Sparkle using a horn is a better tool for a magic wand," Trixie smirked, placing her hand on her wand before it shifted into a sword, "Horn Gladio!"

"Look out!" Momotaros shouted as he got in the way and let the makeshift weapon pierce him as Twilight stumbled back a step.

'Why did she attack physically? That's Momotaros only method...but she has options.' Twilight noted as she saw Trixie develop an incredibly worried look, 'Momotaros defended me from a weak physical attack...and now she's worried. Wait that's it!' she realized, 'I hope this works…'

"Heh..now what w-" Trixie began before Twilight jumped up into the air, "Really? A frontal assault? Do you really think that'll take me by surprise? I can defend myself from physical attacks too! Ace of Diamonds!" she declared as a diamond-shaped barrier formed in front of her.

"Please let this work…" Twilight whispered befoer a pair of energy wings formed on her back, "Phantom wings!"

"Phantom wh-" Trixie began before Twilight flew around her barrier, "?!"

"Fleeting Blow!" Twilight shouted as she decked Trixie hard in the face, her fist enveloped in energy as Trixie was sent skidding back, crashing into a 'wall' as she coughed up a bit of blood.

"Yes! That's my girl!" Celeste beamed as she shot up from her seat, "Trixie maybe a higher level in terms of magic, but Twilight is more intelligent and strategic!"

"Yes...but we forget this isn't as simple as a fight between two warriors." Sieg spoke, "To Trixie, every single action has been a part of her plan." he sighed...seemingly perfectly fine.

"Her plan?"

"I believe he means she may have an ace up her sleeve…" Urataros spoke.

"Ha! How does it feel now, bitch?!" Momotaros taunted as TRixie stood up, holding her bruised cheek as she spit out some blood, "Mahou-Onna found a loophole in your sick little game!"

"...Heh...heh heh…" Trixie chuckled darkly, causing the two to tense up, "This duel...is far from over…" she whispered as she reached into her cape and pulled out...a small doll with hair like Twilight's?

"...Is...that supposed to be me?" Twilight asked with a slight sweatdrop.

"...masaka…" Momotaros blinked in realization upon seeing it, "Voodoo!"

"Voodoo?" Twilight repeated.

"Voodoo…" Trixie smirked as she held a hand above the doll, "Fractione!"

"?!" Twilight gasped out as she felt it again. The dizzy, exhausting sickness from before, "Wh...what did...did you do...to me…?"

"I think it's time I, Trixie, teach you about another form of magic…" Trixie smirked as her face twisted into one of pure sadistic insanity, "Black Magic!"

"Bl...Black...Magic?" Twilight repeated.

"No…" Celeste whispered with wide eyes, "She broke through Twilight's Aura. How...how can she possibly dare to use Black Magic spells? Who...who could've taught Trixie such dangerous magic?"

"..." Ryutaros said nothing as the others all began to worry.

"Come on...come on." Sunset whispered as she looked through a series of books, "Black Magic….Black...ah!" she shouted finding the page she was looking for, "Come on, guys. Don't get into a worse situation than the one I left you in." she begged as she ran for the door, only for it to form a portal that lead back to school, "Where are they…?"

"AHHH!" Twilight's voice yelled out in pain.

"...The soccer field!" Sunset gasped as she booked it over there.

"Mahou-onna!?" Momotaros called out as he grabbed her, the violetette holding her chest in pain "Oi, you psycho! What did you just do!?"

"Oh nothing. Just applied a little…" Trixie began as she squeezed the doll again, "FORCE!"

"AHH!" Twilight cried out, feeling like someone was squeezing her ribs and organs really hard from the inside.

"Stop that!" Momotaros ordered, "What's the matter with you!? She's another human...humans aren't suppose to kill each other!"

"I'm just abiding to the rules of the Magic Duel!" Trixie grinned in an insane manner, "Haven't you noticed my turn hasn't ended yet?"

"...Y...you mean…?" Twilight panted as her eyes widened in realization.

"Yup. I didn't want to use this, but…" Trixie began as she squeezed the doll once more, causing twilight to cry out in pain again, "Since Voodoo is considered magic, I can keep using it without my turn ending!"

"What even is Black Magic!?" Momotaros complained, "Why is there so much god dang magic!?"

"I've...never heard of it either…" Twilight gasped.

"Tch! What an average student you are, Sparkle," Trixie scoffed, "...Fine then. Trixie will give you a quick lesson. There are seven types of magic in the world. Elemental magic, which you and your friends use, Light Magic, which you and Celestia use, Dark Magic, which is used by Lady Luna, White Magic, which heals from all harm, Black Magic, which affects the living and even the dead, and finally, the Heaven and Demonic Magic, which are impossible to use by a mortal!"

"But….my sister...never told me...about this…" Twilight panted.

"It's simple, Twilight. She. Doesn't. Trust. You," Trixie smirked.

"What?" Twilight blinked.

"Oi don't listen. She's getting in your head...she's trying to make you snap and attack without thinking. That's my job!" Momotaros shouted.

"No no. She needs to hear this," Trixie stated, not once looking away from Twilight, "You see, when it comes to Black Magic, it's like a double-edged sword. But that person trusts that I am sufficiently capable of controlling such magic. Your sister on the other hand...well, considering how inexperienced you are, you cannot be trusted with something like that."

'...C...Celeste? Is...that true?' Twilight nervously asked her sister through their mental link.

"Don't listen to her, Twilight. Zecora and I didn't talk about it because Black Magic is very dangerous, not only to the one using it, but it can cause collateral damage to those close by, including the person who invoked it!" Celeste explained.

"...Then it's true…" Twilight whispered, "You don't trust me…"

"Twilight…"

"Now then..how shall I end this duel?" Trixie pondered as she looked at the doll, "Maybe cause her to faint by squeezing her organs? Maybe drive her insane with laughter? Or maybe…"

"KiLL HeR!" a voice echoed in Trixie's head.

"?!" Trixie tensed up as the discord Gem around her neck began to glow.

"SHE dOEsn'T DEServe TO LiVe! KiLL HeR!"

"Kill….her?" Trixie whispered, her eyes glowing a menacing red.

"What?" Momotaros spoke hearing that, "Stop it!" he shouted, "You don't have to do that, you've won! You did it already just stop!" he pleaded.

"...No...she doesn't deserve life…" Trixie whispered, her voice distorted as her began to twist the doll's neck a bit.

"GH?!" Twilight tensed as her neck was suddenly turned, threatening to snap at any moment as her eyes were wide with pain.

"Do IT! Do IT! JuST TwIsT HeR NeCK, aND It'LL BE OvER!"

"But...I only wished she'd feel the pain I felt. To lose everything, to suffer as I have. For one day…" she ranted to herself as the voice continued to try and influence her.

"Stop!" Momotaros shouted, "Ryotaro...gomen...I've failed you…" the Imagin cried mentally as he punched the ground, "I can't do anything in this world without a body...tsk…"

"No...I won't do it…" Trixie whispered as she shook, "I'm not a murderer!"

"YoU STUpid HUMaN! WHo DO YoU THInk YoU'RE Talking To?! I AM DISCORD! NOT EVEN THE MOST FEARSOME OF CREATURES CAN WITHSTAND MY CONTROL! HOW DO YOU TINK A PATHETIC HUMAN LIKE YOU CAN IGNORE ME?!"

"Shut up!" Trixie shouted, "I..I control my life!"

"I'M ORDERING YOU TO DO IT! DO IT NOW AND KILL HER!"

"Shut...up...I….Said…" Trixie panted before tossing the doll to the ground, "SHUT UP! I am Trixie Lulamoon, the world's most powerful mage!"

Twilight breathed in, panting heavily as control of her body returned to her. Momotaros quickly scrambled his way over to catch her as he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh, thank god...she's okay…" Celeste sighed in relief, "But...Trixie managed to free herself of Discord's control...not even the most powerful creatures in Equestria could do that. Maybe...she has so much pride in herself, not even Discord could overcome it."

"Or perhaps, Discord just hasn't come across many who were able to overpower his will." Sieg spoke in a serious tone, "And forgive my tone, but perhaps...you included Dear Elder sister Hime." he spoke looking in her direction, "Just a thought." he shrugged off turning his head away once more.

"...Twilight, please answer me," Celeste spoke as she closed her eyes, "Are you…"

"Shut...up...Celeste…" Twilight's voice panted throughout Denliner, "I...I thought I was gonna die."

"Twilight…" Celeste spoke as the Taros all looked up, "..Please listen. You need to end this now. Trixie may have regained control, but who knows how l-"

"SHUT UP!" Twilight snapped, making Celeste's eyes widen, "Listen?! Listen?! Why do I have to listen to you?! I've listened to you ever since I was little! I always did what you asked and always ended up getting punished by mom and dad when it was your fault! Don't you dare tell me I need to listen!"

"Twilight...oh no…" Celeste spoke before everyone heard a slapping noise.

"Momo…Taros?" Twilight held her red face as she looked up at the Imagin.

"Just now...you said you don't need to listen...don't screw with me…" Momotaros spoke as he sat back, "You don't get to say that. You don't get to suddenly realize how scary this is… not after everything you saw happen to us...to Ryotaro." he began, "I've lost my own friends… I've almost lost Ryotaro a lot of times. Everyday his life's in danger when he puts that belt on… you…." he paused as he pointed at Twilight, "You don't get to just trivialize that the moment it's your life in danger!"

"...Y...you're right...i...I'm sorry...I...I don't know what's come over me…" Twilight whispered as she stood up, "Momotaros. We need to end this fast, but..I don't' have enough energy left to use this spell...so I need a favor from you."

"What is it?"

"...Get inside me."

"...hai…" he muttered shocked.

"Heh heh...you could've rephrased that…" Trixie couldn't help but snicker a bit.

"Shut it!" Twilight and Momotaros snapped.

"Twilight?" Celeste asked in worry.

"I'm sorry...I just let so many things boil up…" Twilight explained as she held her arm, "I...I can't do this without the others...I've just grown so use to having my friends help me...do something amazing that I could never do." she replied as a tear ran down her face, "Without them...I'm so lost."

"...Ah mou!" Momotaros complained as he got up, "I hate it when you cry...all of you! It makes me feel real bad! I hate it! Stop crying! Everyone stop crying!" he pointed at both girls, "This is why girls shouldn't fight! Things get too emotional!"

"Talk about moody…" Trixie muttered with a sweatdrop before clearing her throat, "And apologies, but need I remind you both…" she pointed to the sun as it was almost fully set, "That time is running out for your friends?"

"Oh no!" Twilight remembered as they turned around and all three of them blinked, seeing Sunset sitting calmly on a bench next to them. "Su...Sunset!?"

"Ah! Smarter Magic girl!" Momotaros cheered, "What are you doing?! Help!"

"Well I already did." Sunset replied as everyone looked down to see a talismen paper in between all of them...and then the fact, all of them looked less out cold and more like they were all having a very pleasant sleep.

"...Wh...what did you do?" Trixie asked before growling, "What did you do?! The Oblivio spell can't be negated unless I command it to do so!"

"Well yes...and no." Sunset replied, "See what you guys don't know is what you use is called Western Magic." she explained, "I know both Western Magic...and Eastern Magic."

"Eastern...Magic?" Twilight repeated.

"Magic manipulation works the same across both types, But..." she paused with a smile, "Both work against one another, A Western spell that can't be broken by western magic, is weak to Eastern Magic." she smiled happily, "Didn't know that now did you? Infact, I bet Celeste didn't even know."

"Well...she's right...I didn't." Celeste admitted, causing Twilight to gawk.

"I...wh...wha…" Trixie whispered, absolutely dumbfounded before she shook it off, "HA! Maybe so, but you cannot break Trixie's Field Spell! The only way it'll go away is when Sparkle or I is the wi-!"

"Oh I never intended to do that." Sunset replied, "Even if I did break it both of you would suffer some nasty backlash. But see that's the thing, this would go one of two ways, either Twilight wins, or you win...and then all of them wake up...and then what?" she asked, "I'd wager with Ryotaro's mind at ease...Momotaros' power is coming back in full, and soon the Taros will be able to force him awake. When that happens, the shared sleep spell chain will break." she listed off, "Twilight is obviously weakened to a point where she will have to retire soon." she added, "But she has many good friends."

"God I love having you around!" Momotaros cheered happily.

"Hey…" Twilight complained.

"Oh come on it's clear by now she's the better magic user then anyone present on this soccer field." Momotaros pointed out.

"What?!" Trixie gawked at that.

"It's true," Sunset spoke with a slight chuckle, "You may have grown up with magic, and Twilight's still a bit inexperienced with it. Me however...I'm an expert at it." she smiled, "Twilight has the raw power and you the talent, but me? ..not to brag, but I have both. And a good couple years of studying, practice and overall trial and error over you two. Twilight barely has a few months under her belt." she explained, checking her nails, "But well, let's just leave it at, I'm at the level of the guy who taught you." she pointed at Trixie.

"...Th….that….that...that…" Trixie whispered, visibly shaking as she held her head in shock, "That's impossible...That…" she held her head up high into the air as her hat flew off, "THAT'S IMPOSSIBLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

"...Sorry but that's the cruel world you've chosen to enter." Sunset replied, "Be happy you had someone to guide you in what you learned, for anyone the level you reached in a night is astounding. But there will always be someone...anyone better. Trust me, I know full well out there is several far better at magic then I am."

"...I...I...you…" Trixie began to growl, "You…!"

"Just a sec." Sunset said, taking out a talismen before she tossed it and it landed on Trixie's leg before absorbing in, suddenly making her blink, "I worked on that one for a while, but in short, it will shield your mind from that dark crystal for a bit. Also has a nifty little calming effect on the mind."

"What?" Trixie asked utterly shocked, "You...cleared my head...why?"

"Yeah. I mean hello?! She's out to blast us!" Momotaros shouted.

"Well out to prove she's better then Twilight, yes," Sunset replied, "Kill you? Heaven's no she isn't. She said so herself and proved as such, but the crystal is still amplifying all her dark emotions. And via the Voodoo it began affecting Twilight as well."

"Wait...that's what happened?" Twilight asked in shock.

"I can only fear what might have happened if this continued." Sunset sighed crossing her arms, "But...luckily like I said, I have had far more trial and error." she explained, looking upset and grabbing left arm with her right hand.

"Sunset…" Twilight whispered.

"But...my...my revenge…" Trixie said she she dropped to her knees, "She….she ruined my life...I...I can't..."

"..." Sunset sighed, "I don't know the full story...but did you even listen to yourself at all? Destroying their memories? leave them in the world with no idea who they are? I can understand the wanting to be better then someone else...and wanting to take out the anger for such pain. But did you ever stop and just listen to the things you were doing...that you were planning!?" she shouted, "You sounded like a monster...is that really the kind of magician you want to become? Do you think that's what you parents would want you to become?"

"?!" Trixie's eyes widened at that, "I...I…"

"You didn't realize it because you're so full of pride, you looked past it," Sunset frowned "You could have harmed so many lives...did you even think what would happen to the other lives you would have impacted, with what you were doing? You got a taste of power...and let it corrupt you." she said as Trixie's eyes widened at the words she used, "Magic is a powerful thing, but if used incorrectly, it can corrupt someone."

"...No...I...I...I wasn't...I...no...no you're wrong…" Trixie shook her head as she held it, "You're wrong! I...I should've...I...I…!"

"That's enough."

"?!" Trixie's eyes widened as a figure stood behind her, "...M...Master Gaoh?"

"You have done well 'till now, little one." Gaoh said taking the crystal and snapping it of it's chain, "You've proven to be able to resist this, that's all we wanted you to prove." he said crushing it, "Now...you're ready for a true power just for you."

At that, the field around them vanished and Momotaros returned to his sand form.

"True...power?" Trixie whispered as Gaoh helped her up.

"Come. He will explain once we meet him at the rendezvous," Gaoh stated as he looked back at those still conscious, "As for them...I have just the playmate," he smirked as he snapped his fingers.

At that, out of his shadow, a mass of sand rose before reforming into a large orange/bronze scaled Imagin with orange skin visible under the scaly armor covering his body, forming a battle skirt around his waist, with twin alligator tails forming from his shoulders as curved spikes. The Imagin growled as he reared his head back before smashing the ground, causing everyone to fall over.

"But...I didn't win…" Trixie spoke as the Imagin charged at Twilight, only for it to be blasted by solar blasts of energy.

"Do not worry...we never wanted you to do something like best her completely. No truth be told, we knew that be to much to ask of you...she has far too many loyal retainers at her beck and call." Gaoh explained as the Imagin punched a forcefield Twilight was able to summon in time, "We just wanted to see if you had the resolve to overpower the dark influence of this." he said holding up the remains of the crystal which was blown to the wind, "In fact it's good you did, had you tried to kill Ms Sparkle before her time...hehehe…" he laughed as he held up a DenGasher sword formation...only the blade was orange/gold and serrated with larger teeth along the back, "Well...I couldn't let you do that I'm afraid." he said holding it up threateningly.

"?!" Trixie paled at that.

"Don't be afraid little one...you prove yourself. That's all that we wanted." he smiled...too kindly it was disturbing.

"Trixie!" Sunset called out, "You can't go with him!"

"You have no ideas what he plans to do!" Twilight shouted, "He's a monster...he wants to destroy reality itself...just because he can!"

"...Heh…" Gaoh gave a dark smirk as she slowly looked over at the two, "And what's so wrong with that?"

"What?" Trixie blinked, stepping back from him.

"I have my desires for my power...and so do you." he chuckled, "Word to the wise...your little mind spell was only really working on those girls." he spoke changing the subject.

"What do you mean?" Trixie nervously asked.

"You see the boy...I should have told you. He's my pray." Gaoh replied, leaning in as Trixie sweated nervously, "I...am Gaoh. He is Den-O. Our names hold the characters of King in Japanese. Only a king can kill another king. Try to remember that sweetheart." he spoke in an almost father like tone.

"O….of course...Master G...Gaoh-Sama…" Trixie nodded slowly.

"Good…" Gaoh smiled, petting her head, "You will be a great asset to us, your power shall be amazing. Just remember, you have equals...and superiors. And never…" he growled out as the growl of a beast came from his throat, "Step into another predator's territory. Den-O is mine to crush between my fangs. Yours have yet to grow in young one, so let us give you the means to sharpen them once they do."

"O...of course, Gaoh-sama…" Trixie nodded rapidly.

"Good. Now...let us be on our way…" Gaoh said as he turned around, only to pause as he felt something Trixie stopped in place as Gaoh turned around.

Everyone followed Gaoh's eyes to the other side of the soccer field. Where Ryotaro was now standing up.

"Ryotato!" Momotaros cheered.

"Awake are we?" Gaoh asked, a smile forming on his face as Ryotaro breathed in, "So...it's true...you are like me."

"..." Ryotaro looked up at Gaoh as the two stared at one another.

"It's good to finally meet you face to face...my little successor." Gaoh spoke.

"You're...Gaoh." Ryotaro finally spoke as the wind began blowing around them.

"Yes...I have to admit not how I wanted to finally meet you. You're too far for me to hit you." Gaoh replied.

"Why…" Ryotaro began.

"Why am I doing this...when I am like you, a Singularity Point, a being locked outside of time itself." Gaoh began as everyone just paused to listen, "Why? We are like family almost, the special blood that lets us bend time to our wills runs through us."

"You and I are nothing alike." Ryotaro spoke shaking his head, "You only seek to harm and destroy."

"But yet...we both were chosen to bear the symbol of King within our names. Why name you Den-O, your name has King in it...but yet you just protect people. From their own mistakes no less, someone made a bad mistake and whose job is it to clean it up?"

"..." Ryotaro took a deep breath at that, "You're just running away from the responsibility...using your power as an excuse to do whatever you want."

"...you know I'm starting to think you and I will never see eye to eye Den-O." Gaoh sighed, "I mean...you don't want anything...nothing. You're just a little ragdoll that becomes whatever others want you to be."

"I won't let you do whatever you want in time." Ryotaro replied not at all provoked.

"Ryotaro…" Twilight spoke as she looked at him.

"I don't care if that is what I am...if I need to become whatever is needed to protect lives." Ryotaro spoke as Momotaros flew into his chest making his eyes glow red. "It's my power...and I want to use it to protect something."

"Then next we meet Den-O...your head shall decorate my walls." Gaoh said his eyes glowing orange, "That is unless next time we meet, you wisen up...and decide to dump Owner and his stupid rules. He can't even put on these armors...we can. Why do you think he has to rely on those stronger?" he smirked as he turned around and began walking, "Come Trixie. Your 'initiation' awaits."

"...O-Of course," Trixie nodded, getting up as she began to follow him.

"Trixie wait!" Twilight called out, only for Gaoh to turn and swing his arms, causing an explosive chain of sparks cutting off her path as she held her arms up to block the bright flashes and dust. She slowly lowered her arms as she opened her eyes, seeing no trace of Gaoh or Trixie anywhere, "...No…"

"Twilight!" Ryotaro called out, making her turn to see the Alligator Imagin as it grabbed her.

"Gah!" Twilight gasped as the Alligator imagin lifted her up, her feet kicking the air a bit as she tried to free herself, 'Gah...no...I used up too much of my magic…'

"Sunflare!" Sunset shouted, releasing a blast of solar energy as it smacked into the Alligator Imagin back, only for it to bounce off, "Damn. It's scales are too hard for my magic to pierce!"

"Belt...my belt!" Ryotaro panicked.

'Oh no…' Twilight remembered as she saw their transformation items all the way near the bleachers, 'They're too far away for them to reach in time!'

"Gah...damn it!" Momotaros cursed as he quickly turned into a ball of light and entered Ryotaro.

"AH!" Yuuto roared as he broke through the tracks, making the rest turn to dust, "Finally!" he shouted before suddenly something scraped against ZeroLiner, "Nani?! Aoi...DenLiner?" he blinked, seeing the blue painted version of Ryotaro's summon train.

'Is...is this it?' Twilight thought as the Alligator imagin tightened its grip on her neck, 'Am..I really gonna die here? Ryotaro, girls...I….I'm sorry…'

"Twilight!" Ryotaro shouted as he ran towards her, his hair began to spike as Sunset held up another talismen ready to use it for a spell. For a moment everything came to a slow crawl. Then suddenly everyone blinked.

A loud train whistle was heard as a portal opened. The enemy Imagin blinked on confusion, looking at that before...a Blue DenLiner shot out, the train cutting Twilight and the Imagin off from Ryotaro and Sunset. The sound of the train waking up the others with cries of shock. After a few seconds the train vanished upwards like a rollar coaster. Everyone blinked as it left two figures behind.

The first was a human boy around their age with short cut black hair, wearing a denim blue jacket and jeans with a black shirt underneath. Next to him was an obvious Imagin. He was colored in blue with black armor over his limbs and chest, a noticeable N pattern in his torso, in fact...the Imagin looked like a blend of Momotaros, Urataros, Kintaros and even a little of Ryutaros when it came to his facial features.

Twilight blinked in shock as the Imagin let go of her, the new Blue Imagin blurred forward and picked her up before carrying her over to Ryotato.

"Here you go." he said politely as he handed Twilight over to Ryotaro.

"Hai?" Ryotaro and Twilight blinked.

"My pleasure," the new Imagin nodded before blurring back over to the young man he was with.

"A...was...what the?" Sunset blinked, "A Blue DenLiner!?" she asked in utter shock.

"What's all the noise?" Pinkie whined, sitting up before she took notice of the situation, "WAH! IMAGIN...S!"

"Pinkie, quiet down…" Rainbow muttered as she and the others began to wake up one by one.

"Yes. I cannot get my beauty sleep if you…" Rarity began before they noticed the situation "?!"

"What's going on?!" Fluttershy panicked.

"Da heck is this!?" Applejack shouted, jumping to her feet.

"I...don't know." Ryotaro spoke before the mystery man snapped his fingers loudly.

"Oi...Old Timer," he spoke looking at Ryotaro, "Why don't you just sit and watch for a while? I can handle this in...ten...no eight seconds."

"Eh? Eight seconds?" Ryotaro blinked.

"Eight seconds?" Rainbow repeated before scoffing, "Pfft! Please...dunno who you are buddy, but I doubt you can do it in eight seconds flat!"

"Watch your mouth, Old Lady." the boy spoke, making Rainbow fall over in shock, "Ah...right...you're not old here...but you kind of are to me."

"O...O...OLD?!"

"Not old...but is to him...masaka...he's from the future!" Fluttershy guessed.

"That's right." the boy spoke as he pulled out a gold version of Ryotaro's belt before strapping it on, "You're lucky. I need you all to live so my timeline can happen." he spoke as he held up a pass, "Henshin!" he declared, scanning it.

=STRIKE FORM!=

Suddenly this mystery man of the future was covered in blue shards, leaving him a Black and Blue version of Den-O's Plat Form. Armor swirled around him before docking onto his body. He had a blue torso armor with a silver plate and a golden circle in the form of Den-O's symbol, train tracks formed wings extending from his back while blue shoulder pads locked in place with their own little track extensions as well. His mask grinded down his helmet before unfolding into two large eye pieces, kind of like Den-O Sword Form but more triangle like. The New Den-O held up his gloves as they became gold.

"Den...O…" Ryotaro spoke in surprise, "Who...who are you?"

"Ore wa Den-O….NEW Den-O!" he introduced himself, "My real name is Kotaro, and I'm here to save the future because none of you can't."

"Somebody else...can become Den-O?" Rarity asked in shock.

"But didn't Owner say no two people could share the same ability as a Kamen Rider?" Fluttershy added.

"Wait...he's a Kamen Rider from the future?!" Pinkie gawked before realizing what he said, "Oh my god...he reversed Back to the Futured! Oh! Do you know a Doc Brown?!"

"Pinkie…" the excitable pinkette's friends sweatdropped.

"Back to the Future...you mean that movie they keep in a Museum?" New Den-O asked as he shook it off, "God damn it, Nana Pinkie...did it to me again." he mumbled to himself, so no one could hear. He then looked to his Imagin before snapping his fingers, "Teddy."

"Of course, Kotaro!" he nodded as he jumped...and he folded in on himself before reforging himself into...a Gun-Sword. It was blue with a silver blade, with a gun barrel extending from the tip of the blade, the back of the guard had Teddy's face as the handle had a guard over it...it looked more akin to a machete then sword as well.

"The hell?! His Imagin can turn into a Gunblade?!" Rainbow gawked, "...Why can't Momo and the others do that, Ryo?"

"Because the Old Man just doesn't have that level of skill." New Den-O spoke bluntly, "It takes years of training to be able to control an Imagin to do this level of feat."

"Grr!" the Alligator Imagin growled.

"Teddy begin the count remember from 8." he reminded the sword.

(Begin Insert theme: Double Action Strike Form)

"Understood! Beginning the count down from 8!" He began as New Den-O began running.

New Den-O grunted as he held his sword up as the Alligator Imagin charged at him.

"7!"

New Den-O jumped over a swing as he did he aimed down and fired an energy blast from his Imagin weapon, which caused the ground to explode.

"6!"

New Den-O landed as he slashed the Imagin across the chest before he kicked it in the stomach. New Den-O then used the crouched over Imagin as a jumping step.

"5!"

New Den-O turned around mid air as he came down and slashed the Imagin across the back making it fall to the ground.

"4!"

New Den-O kicked the Imagin up as he slashed it across the chest horizontally leaving a glowing cut in it's body.

"3!"

New Den-O raised his sword up as he slashed down and through the Imagin's body leaving a glowing X shaped cross in its body. New Den-O scanned his pass making it glow as he tossed it away and spun around.

=FULL CHARGE=

"2!"

New Den-O roared as he slashed down energized sword bisecting the Imagin into two both halves slowly falling apart.

"1!"

"That's all she wrote." New Den-O gloated, tapping his blade on his shoulder with a smirk in his voice.

"0…"

At that the Imagine exploded brightly ripping up the ground.

"Good work Kotaro, just in time again."

"...Wow," Pinkie blinked as she closed Rainbow's mouth, whose jaw dropped at how fast New Den-O was able to beat the Imagin.

"Amazing…" Twilight spoke in utter shock. It then took her a few moments to realize Ryotaro was still carrying her, causing her to blush brightly, "...Uh...Ryotaro? You...can put me down now."

"Huh?...oh! Right." Ryotaro remembered a he set her down on her feet.

"Ah...that was almost too easy." New Den-O sighed, "I almost wish I'd gotten here sooner. I could have solved more of the problems they can't on their own." He then turned to face them as he tossed his weapon, letting it transform back into it's humanoid Imagin state.

"Congratulations on yet another successful victory, Kotaro." Teddy bowed as New Den-O looked over at Ryotaro.

For a moment the two just stared before New Den-O sighed and pulled off his belt letting his armor fall off revealing the boy again. And everyone gasped as they finally saw his face. It was faint...but it was there, his face had all the same features as Ryotaro. Not the exact same face, but rather enough of a resemblance to tell they were related.

"I figure the smarter of you have figured things out by now." Kotaro spoke.

"New Den-O…" Fluttershy muttered.

"From the future…" Rarity added.

"Kotaro...Ryotaro...AH!" Pinkie shouted as it all clicked.

"Bingo." Kotaro spoke, "My name is Nogami...Nogami Kotaro."

"...EH?!" Ryotaro and the girls gawked at that.

"Ahh...welcome back, you two," Christopher greeted as Gaoh and Trixie walked in.

"Well she passed." Gaoh smirked, "If just barely."

"Glad to hear," Christopher smiled a bit.

"But...I...I almost killed Twilight. I harmed innocents civilians…"

"And yet you broke free of Discord's control. Not many are able to do that." Christopher explained, "Thanks to your Pride, you didn't allow Discord's will to control your body. And for that...well…" he reached into his coat pocket and pulled out a small diamond-shaped ruby, "There's no better person who deserves this jewel more than you."

"But...you lied to me. You said I could control that crystal," Trixie said.

"That's true I did." he replied, "But as Gaoh stated, we needed to know if you could overcome it's temptation. And as I said, not many can, so you've more than proven yourself. This gem however is different, it is a powerful source of raw magic on the level of the Elements of Harmony." he explained, "But unlike them, they are not connected to one another in a nexus of energy."

"...What...do you mean?" Trixie cautiously asked.

"Whereas the jewels those girls have represent Harmony, this jewel, along with six others represent the Seven Vices," Christopher answered.

"You mean the Seven Sins."

"That's one term for it yes. However what are sins if not the vices humans fall back on when they can't be perfect." he explained, "No one in this world is perfect, everyone is a little greedy, a little envious, lustful, gluttonous...Prideful?" he listed, "But...accepting those things and controlling oneself to be better makes for a far better tale than 6 figures of perfection...does it not?"

"...that...is true, yes," Trixie nodded slowly as she looked at the jewel in Christopher's hand, "So you're saying...this one is mine?"

"In more ways than one," he nodded, "You see, this one was part of something known as the Alicorn Amulet. It was able to increase one's Magic Powers, but at the rate of their sanity depleting. However, there was one unicorn who could not only control the amulet without going insane, but also completely mastered it." he explained.

"And…"

"Why that was you of course." Christopher chuckled at Trixie's unasked question, "You remember everything I showed you, everything I told you." he reminded, "See the gem got a taste of something it liked...an indestructible Pride with an indomitable will." he explained, "So therefore, it will fail to activate once again unless anyone can feed it the Pride it so liked. Therefore this jewel is named Pride." he explained once more, "If you, the reincarnated soul of it's original master can not master its energy, no one can."

"...If I accept this, I want you to tell me something," Trixie stated, a serious look on her face, "And II don't want to be lied to."

"Of course. Fire away."

"...The way the Flim Flam Brothers treated me...that was your doing, wasn't it?" Trixie asked.

"...Yes I did," Christopher answered, "I used a spell on them, but believe this. All I did was open their hearts."

"So...then deep in their hearts they really did want to kick me out?"

"Yes...and no." Gaoh spoke up, "See...we just made them act a little more harsh, truth be told...we were just testing you. To see how strong your will and pride are...to handle all that pain, any normal girl would have buckled under that much pain."

"But the truth is, deep down they wanted you to move on your own. Truth is they did care for you, and wanted nothing but for you to move on and make your own name. So I gave them that, and at the same time got what I desired." Christopher finished, "You wanted the truth...there it is."

"I...I see…" Trixie noted as she let this info sink in.

"So from now on, you have two choices," Christopher began.

"We have taught you everything you needed to know, so you can go back and make it so that event never happened. Or…" Gaoh continued.

"You can stay with us. Be at our side and a goddess among insects," Christopher finished as he walked over to her, "You'll see worlds you've never imagined, and more importantly, I'll give you what you always desired since you were a child...a true family, one where you don't have to hide anything, a family where you'll have the protection of a home, where you're respected, admired and loved. The Flim flam Brothers were the road in which you have traveled, but us? We're the destination that will lead you to greatness."

"..." Trixie said nothing as she thought this over, her hand quivering a bit as she breathed in and out. If she did go back to the Flim Flam Brothers...it wouldn't be the same. The jeers from the crowd would continue to hurt her pride...and the chance Twilight could come back and ruin her again. After a few more moments a silence, she gave a sad sigh as she took the Pride Jewel from Christopher's hand, "I just want to be happy and loved."

"Those are things that can be obtained in many of ways." Christopher spoke, "You however have a grand destiny before you. I need you in the times to come, your power will be of great help."

"...Great help how exactly" Trixie asked.

"You'll see soon enough, child," Gaoh spoke with a grin, "For now, just relax."

"Welcome nonetheless, our beautiful enchantress." Christopher smiled.

"So...that was a thing." Yuuto grunted as ZeroLiner docked into a large train station in the sands of time, people walking around confused as to what was happening. These were just the people lost in time, so Yuuto tried not to mind their situation. "Repairs should be done soon." he nodded as he began walking towards the door to get back inside the ZeroLiner, however before he could he bumped into someone...someone short.

"Hey!" a high pitched voice complained, making Yuuto look down at a little girl he just knocked over, maybe not much older than Twilight's little brother, she had long black hair and was wearing a white blouse, black frilly skirt and tights, "Watch where you're going, you giant!"

"Nande another chibi...oof!" he groaned as the girl shot up and punched him in the stomach, lifting him off the ground with the inhuman strength she had.

"Hmph." the little girl said crossing her arms.

"What...are you?"

"I'm a girl you jerk!" she said kicking him over.

"What little girl is this powerful?" Yuuto complained still feeling the pain. "Who are you brat!?"

"My name is Hana! Nogami Hana!"

"Hai?" Yuuto noted before he realized what she said, "...HAI?!"

"Oh wow...you are as stupid as I heard." Hana said bluntly as Yuuto went into fetal position.

"Time travel...blows…" he muttered as Hana jumped onto ZeroLiner.

"Come on, we have places to go!" she ordered.

"O-oi oi! Get back here!" Yuuto shouted as he ran in after her.

"Get to work already you lazy old man!" Hana ordered as sounds of fist meeting body were heard inside, followed by Yuuto shouting in pain.

"Why does this happen to me!?"

"Oh, a house guest! She is so cute!"

"If by cute you mean vi-OOF!"

"Just start the train already, Gigantor!" Hana ordered, "I have to go back to help people I actually care about. So hurry up!" she complained in a childish temper tantrum.

"Deneb...start the damn train...my kidneys can't take another punch…"

"Hai! here you go cutie." Deneb said as ZeroLiner began movie, " Here's a Deneb candy. Do you want one?"

"Yes…" Hana spoke after a pause.

"Traitor!"

"I'm just being polite!"

"Get this train moving already!"
