As Steven looked at his new armor, the item form of the destruction element he found out three things. It improved his stats, he was more resistant to everything with it on and it had a .50 Cal round in the center. If you touch it it will shoot 50 Cal bullets from it. He found it out the fun way. Twilight heard a series of loud booms come from Steven's quarters and ran off to see what had happened. She found him in the room crying, with multiple holes in the wall. She heard him mumble "I'm so happy" and "magic bullet dispenser".
Steven was on the way to the sugar cube corner when he heard a loud feminine voice call out "I, the great and powerful Trixie have returned once more!" Steven was shocked. Yet another random pony struts in the place and claims to be all powerful and expects to make everyone their bitch? That was Steven's job, not this equines. Pinkie pie will have to wait, some magic cupcakes will be brought as a way of apologizing. Steven got to where a group of ponies were gathered, and noticed twilight in the crowd.
"So, who is this 'great and powerful Trixie' and why did she say returned?" twilight didn't even look at him, she watched Trixie with a purpose. "Trixie was a stage preforming magician who claimed to be all powerful, until I beat her in magic and she left. She came back again with an amulet that made her stronger, too strong for me. We eventually outsmarted her and she left, but here she is"
Trixie spoke up once more. "Does anyone dare challenge Trixie, anyone at all!?" Steven raised his hand. "Very well, come up here and state your challenge ape!" Steven had a plan. He was going to dispose of her with his challenge.
"I challenge you to a duel, winner stays loser dies!" Steven called, with a smile on his face. He tossed a bowie knife at her feet and pulled out a blade of his own. "c'mon, let's go. You are 'all powerful' so beating me will be easy" Trixie picked up the blade with magic. She charged Steven with the knife floating in front of her. He sidestepped her when she and the blade reached him. Trixie did not expect this so she fell and the blade dropped to the ground. Steven walked over to the downed blue mare and before he could strike her down, he felt pity. Steven had another plan.
"Trixie, you lost the duel. You have two options, leave this town permanently or become my apprentice, your choice" Trixie had a slight scowl on her face. "What do you want, master" Trixie mumbled, just loud enough for him to hear. Steven cracked a smile at this. "Good young one, get your things and meet me at the new and improved castle later today. I will be expecting you." He put her purple hat on her head, and walked off to an energetic pink friend.
"Hello is pinkie pie here?" Steven asked, only to be tackled down by a pink mass. "Speak of the devil and she shall come" Steven whispered, trying to pry the pink mare from his stomach. "Hiya Steve-y, what are you doing here?" pinkie asked, still giving him a crushing hug. "I came to see if you needed anything, or if you wanted to hang out" she grabbed his arm and pulled him out the door of sugar cube corner, dragging him somewhere. He never did know how she could get a grip with a flat hoof, but she did.
"So, do you get it now?" pinkie was trying to explain pinkie physics to him. "Everything is and isn't at the same time, so this pencil is really just a glass of chocolate milk?" Steven stated, watching his pencil turn into a chocolate beverage. Exactly! Pinkie shouted, turning a flower into a glass of chocolate milk as well. "Cheers!" they said in unison, proceeding to start spontaneously laughing. When their laughter died down, Steven looked at her. "I think I will enjoy having you as a friend pinkie pie, but what now?" pinkie grinned a grin Steven knew and loved, a grin of destruction. "Let's prank some ponies" pinkie stated happily.
The first target was twilight. "What should we do, invisible ink, air horns, jump scares…" pinkie shook her head. "I already did those, think of something else" Steven had an idea "let's move her things, you know how ocd she is". Steven had been practicing his magic while the six females were doing sleepover activates the day prior, so he was ready for this moment. He turned invisible and snuck inside, being as quiet as possible. He moved her quills, scroll and righting items to random areas of the new library. As he was hiding one in a book the purple alicorn entered the room. He dropped the items and backed up. Twilight grabbed the scroll and quill with her magic. "There it is, pinkie or someone must have moved it" 'damn, she knows' Steven thought, staying as motionless as possible. Just because you're invisible doesn't mean noise won't be made if you are moving.
Twilight began to write and speak at the same time. "Dear princess cadence, I will be heading to the crystal empire tomorrow with my friends. Sincerely twilight sparkle"
"Shit, how am I going to befriend them if they head off tomorrow? I will find a way as I don't want to seem like a random murder ape that roams randomly." Steven had a point. The only time they talked was during the picnic, but after that he released his hidden side and brought violence to a world of love. They talked once or twice briefly after that, but he knew they didn't trust him, and they only saw him as a psychotic guardian.
Steven returned to pinkie pie. "Well?" 'She found it, it didn't work' Pinkie frowned for a second, then smiled again. "Cupcake?' she asked, pulling one from her poufy mane. Steven accepted and decided to roll with it, not questioning how or why she had one in there. he then headed off to the librar castle to find Trixie.
He found Trixie where he told her to wait. "The great and powerful Trixie is upset that you are late" she cried, only for Steven to scold her "your great and powerful self will be thrown into a pit of lava if you keep this up. I am your master now, so you will respect me and I will train you." Trixie squeaked then looked down, ashamed and afraid. "Come, I will teach you how to do magic the correct way"
Steven and Trixie went into Stevens's quarters. He spent two hours teaching her combat and defensive magic. (He trained himself. if you found out you could use magic wouldn't you try to use it?) Steven received multiple wounds as he was used as a target for her practice. But he now had a more combat ready magical unicorn to help him. In time come, he and her would overthrow the government and rule that was for certain. When that would be he did not know, but he had a feeling they would.
"So Trixie, what do you plan to do in the future" Steven asked, sitting on his F.Y.S bot. Trixie calmly responded in a sing-song voice "in the future, the great and powerful Trixie will become the strongest and most powerful unicorn, Trixie then will have riches and the popularity Trixie deserves" Steven smirked. "I have a feeling you will, Trixie I really do" Trixie hopped up and walked out of the room. "Where can a Great being like Trixie find consumable items?" Steven led her to the dining room.
Steven walked to the dining room and showed Trixie where everything was. He grabbed an apple and handed over two bits, then went to look for Trixie. He found her drunk and holding a bottle of wine. "ba gweat n' powaful trixies is tired. Les go an' gets a nap's" Trixie mumbled, flailing her arms as her hat swung on her head. "how can you be drunk already, I left you for only a minute?" Trixie attempted to shrug and fell on her face. "I is many thirstz so I tooks th' bottles an' bwamaflmnanmlf." Trixie had passed out. Steven picked her up and carried her to his quarters. He placed her on his bed and sighed. " what the fuck is my life" he then slept in his F.Y.S machine and prepared mentally for the crystal empire.
