Ah, you have a keen eye. The Alicorn Amulet is one of the most mysterious and powerful of all the known magical charms. Uh, ah— I'm afraid this is... far too dangerous. [bits clinking] Shopkeeper: [quickly] Would you like that gift-wrapped? [theme song] Fluttershy: Don't be scared, little friends. Twilight is wonderful with magic. [to Twilight] Anything happens to them, Twilight, so help me... Spike: Aww, don't worry, Fluttershy, Twilight's magic has gotten a lot better since she accidentally crushed me and Applejack with a giant snowball. Fluttershy: Of course she's good with magic. Twilight's great with magic. I guess I just don't want my little friends to be scared. Oh, oh, look how scared they are! [animals chittering] Twilight Sparkle: I promise, Fluttershy. Nothing bad will happen to them. Fluttershy: [high-pitched] I know! Stop, stop! They can't take it! [animals chittering and cheering] Fluttershy: [teeth chattering] Spike: Twilight, that looks amazing! Twilight Sparkle: Phew! [animals chittering] Twilight Sparkle: That's all for now, little ones. Maybe we can practice again later, if Fluttershy says it's alright. [animals chittering] Spike: Your magic has really improved since we came to Ponyville, Twilight. Princess Celestia's going to love it. Twilight Sparkle: Thanks, Spike. I have to be at my best when she arrives with the delegates from Saddle Arabia. I can't believe she's trusting me with the entertainment. [thud] Rainbow Dash: Twilight! Come quick! It's an emergency! [poof] Rarity: [gasp] You beast! This shade of brown should only be used for accents! Pinkie Pie: Come on, Applejack. We've got to get her in a nice, soothing pink, stat! Twilight Sparkle: What's going on here? Trixie: Well, well, well. If it isn't... Twilight Sparkle. [ponies gasp] Twilight Sparkle: [gasps] Trixie! Spike: What's she doing here? Rainbow Dash: You call that great and powerful? [poof] Rainbow Dash: [yelps] Snips: Oh! She's Rainbow Wobble, now! Snails: Yeah! Ha ha ha ha! Rainbow Dash: [yelps] Snails: Good spell, oh Great and Powerful Trixie! Trixie: You two! Quiet! [poof] Snips: Uh, hey! W— What happened? Snails: Get off of me! Brbrbr. Snips: Let go! Snails: Go this way! Twilight Sparkle: Stop picking on my friends, Trixie! Trixie: You and I have some unfinished business. My magic's gotten better since I was here last. And I'm going to prove it! Me and you, a magic duel. Winner stays, loser leaves Ponyville forever! Twilight Sparkle: Forget it! I'd never make a deal like that! Trixie: Hm. Your choice. Spike: [yelps] [stretching noise] [bouncing] Twilight Sparkle: Trixie, put him down. Why are you doing this? Trixie: Why? Because you humiliated me! After you showed me up with that Ursa Minor, I became a laughing stock! Everywhere I went I was laughed at and ostracized. I even had to take a job on a rock farm just to earn a living! A rock farm! Pinkie Pie: Hey! You're lucky a rock farm would take the likes of you! [click and drag sounds] Trixie: Now I want revenge! And I'll just keep casting spells 'til you agree. Well? What do you say? [Snails and Rainbow Dash grunting] Spike: Whoooaah! Help... me! Twilight Sparkle: Alright, Trixie. Let's duel! Trixie: Excellent. [thud] Rarity: [crying] Pinkie Pie: [indignant muffled noises] Trixie: If I lose, I won't set hoof in Ponyville again. But if you lose, you're the one banished from this one-horse town! Rest of main cast: [gasps] [tense music] Trixie: Draw! [poof] [ponies gasping] Shoeshine: [Wilhelm scream] Twilight Sparkle: [grunts] Phew. [gasps] [poik] [parasprite burping] Twilight Sparkle: [exhales] [snow melting] Rest of main cast: [laughing] [snip, snip] Trixie: Snips, Snails, step forward! Snips: Wh— what is it, oh Great and P— P— Powerful Trixie? [laughs nervously] Baby Snips: [crying] Twilight Sparkle: An age spell? But... how could you do an age spell? That's only for the highest level unicorns! [wiping noise] Trixie: Well, Twilight? Give up? Twilight Sparkle: [sighs] [grunts] Baby Snips: [surprised noise] Spike: Come on, Twilight, you can do it! [magic sputtering] [thud] Baby Snips: [crying] Old Snails: [spine clicking] Trixie: Trixie is the highest level unicorn! [laughs] And now it's time for you to leave Ponyville! FOREVER! Applejack: That's enough, Trixie! Rarity: You proved your point, but you can't possibly expect Twilight to leave Ponyville! Trixie: You fools! She's already gone! Twilight Sparkle: [yelps] [pop] [thud] Twilight Sparkle: It's okay, guys. I'll figure something out. Just take care of each other. And keep an eye on Trixie. There's something strange about her. Spike: Twilight? [thunk] Twilight Sparkle: [grunts of exertion] Ugh! It's impossible! How could Trixie know such advanced magic? Without Spike, I can't get a message to the Princess in Saddle Arabia. So who else do I know who understands strange and powerful magic? [tribal music] Zecora: Your tale of woe upsets me so. [sips] No wonder you're dour. It's an abuse of power! Twilight Sparkle: I don't know what to do, Zecora. I feel like I've abandoned my friends. But I can't take her on horn-to-horn. Zecora: [sips] If you train with me, so good you'll be. I'll show you the way to make sure she won't stay. Twilight Sparkle: You'll train me in magic? But she was doing age spells, weather spells, you name it! Zecora: When it comes to magic, it would be tragic if somepony licked me, especially Trixie. Twilight Sparkle: You really think I can beat her? Zecora: Mm-hmm. Twilight Sparkle: Okay, when do we start? [banner unfurling] Trixie: You two! Hurry up with my throne. [splat] Trixie: And you, how long do I have to wait for my applesauce facial? Applejack: Forget it, Trixie! I ain't doing nothin' 'til you let Twilight come home! [laughs uncontrollably] Okay, I'll do it! Just make it stop! Hoo! [crash] Trixie: I thought I told you to dance! Rarity: Oh, Trixie's cruel magic is ruining Ponyville. Ow! [whines] Oh, somepony has to help us! [tribal music] Zecora: Ah, no noise, no sound, no din, no fuss must interfere with your focus. Unlearn what you have learned. Only then can victory be earned. Twilight Sparkle: [grunts] Trixie: [echoing] Trixie is the highest level unicorn! [laughs] [splash] Twilight Sparkle: [yelps] [splash] Zecora: There is much, much that I can teach, but the answer you need may still be out of reach. Twilight Sparkle: I'm sorry, Zecora. I'm trying my best, but... I can't stop thinking about Trixie. There was something different about her. It's like she's gone from high and mighty to mean and nasty. Zecora: Your thinking needs a readjust. Total concentration is a must. [banners flapping in wind] [wind whistling] Rarity: Ugh, this really doesn't seem to be getting us anywhere. Pinkie Pie: [muffled noises] Applejack: I hear you, Pinkie. I can't find anything that describes the kind of magic Trixie's doin'. Spike: Ugh, there must be something! Twilight has every magic book there is! Fluttershy: [quietly] Um, I think I may have found something? Rarity: Yes, it's time for us to consider our futures in this new Trixie-led Ponyville. Fluttershy: [quietly] Um, this sounds an awful lot like Trixie's magic– Applejack: She wants me to grow apples with no peels! Now how the hay am I supposed to do that? Fluttershy: [quietly] Um, there's a picture here of that necklace– Pinkie Pie: [muffled noises] Fluttershy: [quietly] It's called the Alicorn Amulet, and whoever wears it is blessed with untold— Spike: Hey, everypony, look! This book has a picture of Trixie's necklace! It's called the Alicorn Amulet, and whoever wears it is blessed with untold powers! Fluttershy: [quietly] If you read a little further, you'll see— Rarity: [reading] Even though it provides great power, it also corrupts the user! Fluttershy: [quietly] Yes, but, um, you can't— Spike: [reading] You can't just take the Alicorn Amulet off her neck, it has a magical lock! Trixie's the only pony who can take it off! Fluttershy: [quietly] Maybe we could— Applejack: We need to get this information to Twilight. She'll know what to do. Fluttershy: [quietly] But, h— how— Rarity: If any of us try to leave, Trixie's magical force field will tell her! Fluttershy: [quietly] Maybe we should— Rainbow Dash: I've got it! Trying to sneak past the force field would be impossible without help, but I know who's got the goods to get into those woods! Fluttershy: [quietly] It— it must be— Rainbow Dash: Fluttershy! Fluttershy: Whaaat?! [thud] Applejack: What do you say, Fluttershy? Can you handle the mission? Fluttershy: No! I'll crack under the pressure! I'll snap like a twig! Rainbow Dash: Perfect! Fluttershy'll sneak out of Ponyville and find Twilight. Fluttershy: But— but I, I— [thud] Fluttershy: [teeth chattering] [sighs] Okay. Applejack: Alright! Other ponies and Spike: [general agreement] Rarity: I know just the design for a dangerous mission outfit! Snips and Snails: [grunts of exertion] Trixie: Pull, you fools! [cracks whip] Somepony set off the magic force field, and Trixie intends to punish them! Snips: [gasping] But... wouldn't it be faster if we had some... wheels?! Trixie: The Great and Powerful Trixie doesn't trust wheels. Now pull faster! Snails: [gasping] I'm telling ya, Snips, she's getting weirder and weirder! [whip cracking] Snips and Snails: [grunts of exertion] Trixie: Stop! You there! What are you doing?! [beaver chittering angrily] [thud] [poof] Snails: Gah, why is she so mean to us? Snips: Yeah! I miss the days when she was just a fraud! [whip cracking] [grinding noises] [beaver chittering] [pop] Fluttershy: Oh, oh dear! Rarity's dangerous mission outfit is ruined! Guess we'd better go back! [laughs nervously] [beaver chittering] [birds tweeting] Fluttershy: Oh, okay, okay, you're right. I need to be brave and find Twilight. [bird tweeting] Fluttershy: Oh! Y— you found her? [bird tweeting] Fluttershy: She's in the Everfree Forest?! [whoosh] [pop] Fluttershy: Oh, this is me being brave! I wanna be brave at home, locked in my closet, with my teddy bear! [tribal music] Fluttershy: [sips] Twilight Sparkle: I can't believe I didn't recognize the Alicorn Amulet! Fluttershy: The more she uses it, the more it will corrupt her! Twilight Sparkle: But how am I supposed to beat that amulet? My magic's not good enough! Zecora: Twilight Sparkle, much work have you done. You learned all of my lessons; all but one. If Trixie's tricks have you in a fix, you must nix your magic and use the six. Twilight Sparkle: Nix your magic, use the six... Nix your magic, use the six! Use the six! That's it! Zecora, you're a genius! Now we'll need to get you back inside Ponyville, Fluttershy. [scribbling] [dragging noises] Trixie: This better not be another false alarm, or the Great and Powerful Trixie will– [gasps] You! [muffled] What's the matter, Twilight Sparkle? Not enjoying your exile? Twilight Sparkle: I know about the Alicorn Amulet. I know you cheated. Trixie: Cheated? Moi? Twilight Sparkle: Yeah. And I thought you might wanna see what a real magical amulet looks like. Zecora gave it to me. [muffled] It's from beyond the Everfree Forest, [normal] and it's way more powerful than your measly little Alicorn Amulet! Trixie: Ha! Nothing's more powerful than the Alicorn Amulet! And nopony's more powerful than the Great and Powerful Trixie! Twilight Sparkle: [muffled] Care to put your amulet where your mouth is? [normal] How about another duel? Trixie: [muffled] Why should I? I already beat you. Twilight Sparkle: That's up to you! But I guess you'll never see the totally awesome magic from beyond the Everfree Forest. Come on, Zecora. Trixie: Wait! [poof] Trixie: Okay, okay, you're on! A second duel. [thunder rumbles] [lightning cracks] [hoof stomps] Trixie: Let's start with a simple age spell, shall we? Twilight Sparkle: Let's. Trixie: Snips, Snails. [poof] Baby Snips and Baby Snails: [crying] Trixie: An oldie, but a goodie, ha. Now, let's see what your little charm can do. Twilight Sparkle: No problem. Um, Applejack, Rarity? Could you help me, please? Applejack: Huh? Rarity: Huh? [scratching] [magic zap] Trixie: Oh, ho-hum. So you can do an age spell, big deal. [magic zap] [magic zap] [magic zap] [magic zap] Trixie: That's... That's impossible! Twilight Sparkle: That's nothing! [magic zap] Rainbow Dash: Yow! Trixie: How did you– Twilight Sparkle: Duplication spell. Ever see one pony play ten instruments? [magic zap] Pinkie Pie: [plays one-pony band] Trixie: This... just can't be! Twilight Sparkle: Ooh, one more. I can turn a mare into a stallion. [magic zap] Big McIntosh (as Male Applejack): (nervously) Eeyup. [magic zap] Twilight Sparkle: Well, Trixie, looks like my amulet is more powerful than yours– Hey! Give it back! Trixie: [laughs] With this amulet, I shall now rule all of Equestria! [click] [electricity sparking] [click] Trixie: Witness, my subjects. Gaze upon an ever greater and 'powerful-er' Trixie! [lightning cracks] Trixie: Hey! [scoffs] I don't need that old Alicorn Amulet. I have this! [weak electricity crackling] Rainbow Dash: [laughs] Stop it! Tha— that tickles! Trixie: Tickles?! That was supposed to make you writhe in agony! This amulet is defective! [magic zap] Give mine back! Rainbow Dash: Sorry. This is going back into hiding where it belongs. Twilight Sparkle: By the way, Trixie, the amulet around your neck? It's one of Zecora's doorstops. [rock shattering] Trixie: [upset] But... how did you do those spells? Nopony can do those spells! Twilight Sparkle: You're right. Not even me. Zecora taught me so much about magic while I was in exile. She even taught me when not to use it. My magic alone wasn't powerful enough to take on the Alicorn Amulet head to head, so I needed to use a different kind of magic – the magic of friendship. I also knew that the only pony who could get the amulet off your neck was you. Trixie: But... what about the pony with the ten instruments? Twilight Sparkle: That's not magic. That was just Pinkie Pie. Pinkie Pie: [continues playing one-pony band] [ponies cheering] [birds singing] [ponies in awe] Saddle Arabian delegates: Oooh! [fireworks exploding] Twilight Sparkle: Trixie? Trixie: It's the least I could do. I treated you and your friends so horribly when I was wearing that Alicorn Amulet. I just couldn't control myself. You can forgive me, can't you? Twilight Sparkle: Hmmm. Sure. Trixie: Oh, good. Don't you think the Great and Apologetic Trixie is the most magnificent humble pony you've ever seen?! [poof] [thud] Pinkie Pie: [angry muffled yells] [poof] Pinkie Pie: [inhales] [music] [credits]
