Chapter 53: There are Different Ways to Corrupt

Seito arrived at the Tendo Residence. When he got there he saw Hikaru waiting for him.

"There's something we need to show you in the dojo." Said Hikaru.

"Really? What?" asked Seito.

They led him to the dojo where the other older pony turned humans waited.

"What's going on?" he asked.

"You see, you need to know about why Twilight Sparkle and I can use magic." Said Diana.

"Why are they here?" asked Seito.

"Apparently we're here to make the explanation easier." Said Ran.

"What's that supposed to mean?" asked Seito.

Diana cleared her throat.

"You know about Ranma's curse, correct." Said Diana.

"Of course I do, the whole school knows." Said Seito.

"The thing is that we are under the same curse as well." Said Diana.

"So what do you turn into?" asked Seito.

"No she means have the SAME curse as Ranma." Said Hikaru.

"What?" asked Seito.

Hikaru grabbed a teakettle they had and poured it on herself.

Seito stared Twilight… he wasn't blinking he was just in shock.

"She's a unicorn?" he thought, "Why s she a unicorn."

However he wasn't moving.

"Hello." Said Momo waving her hand in front of his face.

"I think we should wait until he regains his sense of self before we continue." Sighed Diana.

Meanwhile, in the Mahoukaze training room, Tsukiko was training her magic, she was able to create a clone which was something she heard was impossible to do, even with magic.

"This is perfect!" said Tsukiko, "I have so much power!"

That was when Discord appeared in front of her.

"I was wondering you were going to show up again." Said Tsukiko.

"I think I should tell you Hikaru's little secret." Said Discord.

"Oh I was wondering when you were going to show up." Said Tsukiko, "So what kind of secret does Hikaru have?"

"She isn't human." Said Discord.

Tsukiko smirked, "Go on…" she said.

Back at Tendo Dojo, Seito's brain started working again.

"What's going on?" he asked, "Why are you a horse!"

"Well it's a long story." Said Twilight.

"What is it?" asked Seito.

Twilight began to explain her story about how they were all ponies, how Twilight botched a spell, about how Princess Luna followed them with the Cutie Mark Crusaders…

"But why are you telling me?" asked Seito.

"Discord." Answered Princess Luna who had hanged back during the explanation, "He is our enemy from back home..."

Princess Luna began to explain Discord to him…

"I don't get it." Said Seito, "Why are you telling me."

That as when it hit him, he looked at Shiro Taiyo.

"He's the evil I'm supposed to fight, isn't he?" asked Seito.

"We believe so." Said Princess Luna.

"Well I guess you were in the right for telling me everything." He sighed.

That was when Ranma entered the Dojo.

"Are you ready yet?" asked Ranma.

"Almost." Said Princess Luna.

"Wait… he knows." Said Seito.

"Of course he knows" said Ran, "We met him at Jusenkyo…"

"Oh right…" said Seito.

"Don't' use the elements of harmony until you are in Pony Form." Said Princess Luna she magically grabbed a bucket of water and pled herself, "they were meant to go with ponies not humans… we have no idea what they might do."

"What if they give us magical girl costumes?" asked Momo.

"What are the chances of that happening?" asked Hikaru who had changed back to human form after Diana did.

Back at the Mahoukaze training room, Tsukiko smirked.

"She is a faker…" she said, "She's not even human yet she claims to be one. Plus her use of unicorn magic makes it seems like she's a Mahoukaze Clan member when she isn't. This is too rich!"

"So are you ready to fight her and her friends?" asked Discord.

"Oh yeah!" said Tsukiko, she then thought, "You are going to pay big time Hakumei, or should I say Sparkle."

"One more thing, it's about a weapon they use…" said Discord.

"What is it?" asked Tsukiko.

Discord began to explain about the Elements of Harmony.

Sometime later, those that were going to watch as well as the 6, Diana and Seito headed to the place where they were going to fight.

"So you guys are watching." Said Seito.

"And to make sure no one sees what's going on." Said Akane.

"I see." Said Seito.

They got to the vacant lot.

"Is he here?" asked Ranma.

"Doesn't look like it." Said Hikaru.

That was when suddenly everyone was splashed with gallons of warm water.

"Oh that was fun!" said Discord appearing from a bright light.

"Discord." Muttered Princess Luna.

He snapped his claw and a bubble appeared around the lot it's surrounding area.

"There I did something nice, I won't let anyone find out about this fight." Said Discord, "It will prevent anyone who doesn't know about any of this from entering."

"So you're the evil I have to defeat." Said Seito, who was thinking, "He looks a lot like a Kirin."

The 6 element bearers took out the elements of Harmony and put them on.

"Oh you must have forgotten I brought along a friend." Said Discord, "Who might I remind is here on her own free will."

"Like someone would be willing to work for you." Said Rainbow Dash.

"So I'm not someone." Said a voice.

They turned to see Tsukiko in her battle kimono ready for a fight.

"Tsukiko." Said Seito surprised.

"That's right, your sister agreed to help me if I give her a power up." Explained Discord.

"Are you really that petty?" asked Twilight.

"You should talk Sparkle." Said Tsukiko, "Posing as a human… do you have any shame?"

Twilight gritted her teeth.

"All right girls." Said Twilight, "It's time."

All of them got into position to use the elements however, Tsukiko crate a blast of energy that disrupted it.

"Sorry, but it's my duty to handle the 6 of you, esspeiclly you Sparkle." Said Tsukiko.

"Oh it's like the Pactio system in Negima." Said Pinkie.

"What?" asked Fluttershy.

"It has to do with anime, we don't need to know." Sighed Rarity.

"I don't know what you're talking about, but if you want to fight him, the you have to get though me." Said Tsukiko.

That was when she created 5 clones.

"You're not going to be harmonize with me around." Said Tsukiko.

"So Luna… let's see what your student can do against me." Said Discord.

"I haven't even gotten a chance to learn anything." Said Seito.

"What about that sword of yours then." Said Discord.

Seito looked at the Shiro Taiyo and remembered what he was told. That if he channeled his magic into it, it would show its true power.

Seito began to channel his magic into it, causing it to glow blue.

"You think that will help you?" asked Discord.

Seito slammed the sword into his side.

"Hey, that hurt." He said.

Seito blinked, and hit Discord once again.

"It feels like a pin prick." He laughed, "Some legendary weapon."

That was when he dodged a blast of pure magic from Princess Luna.

On the sidelines, Ranma sat down.

"Looks like we don't have to stop someone from coming in, let's just enjoy the fight." Said Ranma.

"Aren't we going to do something?" asked Akane.

"They get angry if we get involved." Said Shampoo, "This their fight."

Akane sighed and knew they were right.

"Who is that girl?" asked Ukyo.

"Seito's sister, she had a magic duel with Twilight a while back." Explained Ranma.

"I see…" said Ukyo.

With Tsukiko sent out her clones to fight the other bearers, while she personally faced Twilight.

"So you faked being human, I was right to call you a faker." Said Tsukiko.

"I'm a unicorn cursed to turn into a human girl, in a world where unicorns don't exist" Said Twilight, "What else was I supposed to. Just go around as a unicorn."

Tsukiko raised her finger, but remained silent, "Okay… I'll give you that." She muttered.

"Plus there's the fact that me and friends are trying to keep it a secret as much as possible." Said Twilight.

"And yet they know." Said Tsukiko.

"Ranma has the same curse as we do… and Shampoo and Cologne comes from a nearby village where the curse originates." Pointed out Twilight.

"Okay… I'll give you that too." Said Tsukiko, "You might have valid points! But you still humiliated me."

She launched a ball of pure magic at Twilight who barely dodged.

"Her magic is much stronger than last time." Thought Twilight.

However Tsukiko's clones were having various problem.

With the clone fighting Pinkie… they were having a petty argument.

"I told you it's magic! It has nothing to with Ninjutsu!" yelled Tsukiko's clone.

"Come on! Tell me the truth!" yelled Pinkie.

"I told you it's not Ninjutsu!" yelled Tsukiko's Clones.

The Tsukiko's clone facing off against Rarity however was having a somewhat pleasant conversation.

"So you're unable to use your magic in human form despite being a unicorn?" asked Tsukiko's clone.

"Yes, its' so much a burden." Said Rarity, "While I can make dresses in human form, it's not as efficient in my real form. So I have to lock my room when I'm working."

"Oh…" said Tsukiko's clone, "by the way, I saw some of the dress you made Kodachi… are they are gaudy like that…"

"No… not all of them. It's just that Kodachi has that sort of taste." Said Rarity.

"You know when I poof away I'll be able to send my memories to my real self." Said Tsukiko, "If you give the information of your dress shop I'll come by to see if I want anything."

Then again Rarity did have that sort of charm to her.

The Tsukiko clone facing off against Fluttershy, just stared at her opponent.

"Um… what are you doing?" asked Fluttershy.

"I will not hug her… I will not hug her…" thought Tsukiko's clone who was under the spell of Fluttershy cuteness.

With Rainbow Dash and the clone she was fighting, they were accurately doing just that, fighting…

However Tsukiko's clone was at a severe disadvantage.

She couldn't fly.

"Come on! Slow down!" yelled Tsukiko's clone.

"Why!" yelled Rainbow Dash at a reasonable height to be heard from, "We're fighting."

"Because you're wining by too much." Said Tsukiko's clone.

Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes at that.

Meanwhile with Applejack the clone she was fighting, it was much like with Rainbow Dash's fight… in that it was an actual fight.

Applejack swept Tsukiko clone's legs, but she used her magic to regain her balance.

"I guess some plain pony like you can't defeat me." Said Tsukiko's clone.

"What do you mean plain pony?" asked Applejack.

"You know… one without wings or a horn." Said Tsukiko's Clone.

"I'm an earth Pony." Muttered Applejack.

"Whatever…" said Tsukiko's clone.

Back with Twilight's fight, Twilight had managed to send a blast of pure magic at Tsukiko.

However Tsukiko batted it away like it was nothing.

"Is that all you have?" asked Tsukiko.

Twilight began to sweat.

"Whatever advantage you had last time means nothing now." Said Tsukiko.

Elsewhere in the area… Ayame and Aoi were searching. The members of the clan that had yet to go back home felt a disturbance in magic. Aoi (being a former clan leader) and Ayame (being the clan leader) went to find out what it was.

"Have you found something yet dad?" asked Ayame.

"Not yet." Answered Aoi.

That was when both of them noticed Discord's shield.

"What's that?" asked Ayame.

"I don't know…" said Aoi, "But I can sense great magic coming form it."

Both of them approached the dome. Ayame touched it, and it rippled, but she was able to put her hand though.

"That's strange." Said Ayame.

Aoi followed his daughter's example, and the same thing happened.

"Let's go." Said Ayame.

They both went though the barrier. They came out of the other side and saw the fighting (or lack there of in some cases).

They saw Seito fighting Discord with Princess Luna, as well as the clones of Tsukiko.

"Clones?" asked Ayame, "Is that even possible?"

"I have never heard of anyone ever doing that ever." Said Aoi, "Something has happened…"

They both noticed the group watching.

"What's going on?" asked Ayame.

"Oh hello Ayame…" said Cologne.

"How do you know each other?" asked Ranma.

"I've become a regular to the Cat Café." Said Ayame.

This made the younger set sweat drop.

"Tsukiko has joined Discord's side in exchange for power." Said Cologne.

"Discord?" asked Ayame.

"I take it's that thing Seito is fighting." Said Aoi.

"That's right." Said Cologne.

"And that's the thing that Seito is supposed to fight.' Said Aoi, "And he hasn't figure out to unlock Shiro Taiyo yet."

"You mean the blue glow is not him unlocking it." Said Ukyo.

"No… it's not." Said Aoi.

"You know… I just realized something." Said Ranma, "You two don't seem unfazed by the talk there are talking colorful ponies here."

Ayame and Aoi sweat dropped.

Back with the Twilight, Twilight concentrated to dodge the blasts of magic, however she was getting tired.

"I don't think I can dodge any more." She thought.

"Looks like you're on your last legs Sparkle." Said Tsukiko, "This will finish it!"

She let out a blast of magical energy that hit Twilight sending her flying.

Everyone stopped what they were doing when that happened.

Tsukiko gave a chuckle and brushed back her hair.

"I guess the power of a Kirin beats the power of a pony." Said Tsuki.

That was when suddenly Tsukiko began to scream in pain and collapsed.

The Tsukiko clones all disappeared, as Tsukiko laid on the ground face first.

"Looks like side effects are kicking in." said Discord, "That's a shame…"

"Side effects." Said Princess Luna.

"Tsukiko!" cried Ayame.

Ayame picked up her daughter and place her head on her lap. She paled with what she saw.

Sprouting out of her forehead is what happened to be a unicorn horn.

Applejack and Rainbow Dash were helping Twilight up.

"She should have read the terms of the contract." Said Discord, "There was a 50-50 chance that this would happen during the week."

"What did you do to my sister?" asked Seito.

"She's turning into a unicorn pony… just like how her ancestor was." Said Discord.

Everyone but Princess Luna, Ayame and Aoi were shocked by that one sentence…

The secret of the Mahoukaze clan was about top unravel… as Discord would learn that you don't mess with Furinkan…

Next Time: Discord has really screwed up, he will realize that that he shouldn't have hurt Tsukiko... even if the she and her brother don't get always along. Not only that but Discord decides to see what sort of effects the Element of Harmony has on their human form... What is it? Well... let's just say somepony was right.
