Magic Duel, part 4
Sneaking Fluttershy back into Ponyville was, fortunately, a lot easier than getting her out. After that, Twilight and Zecora spent the rest of the night fine-tuning the unicorn's plan, while their friends on the other side of the wall carried out the instructions sent with Fluttershy.
It's nearly noon when Twilight and Zecora walk up to the borders of Ponyville. She has to squint, but Twilight can just barely see the strip of red cloth tied to the peak of the Carousel Boutique--the agreed-upon signal that the plan is ready for execution. She looks back at Zecora, briefly, and the zebra gives her an encouraging nod.
Nix your magic. Use the six.
Twilight walks up to the edge of the forcefield and raps her hoof sharply on the wall. Rings of blood-red light ripple out from the point of contact. That ought to get Trixie's attention.

Now Twilight turns toward Rainbow Dash.
Before the rainbow pegasus can react, she's struck with another bolt of magic.
POOF.

Then a second pair of blue wings appear on Dash's back.
"Yow!" Rainbow Dash is half-excited, half-boggled as she stares down her exact double.
no subject
"How did you...?"
She's even having trouble finishing questions. How could Twilight be this powerful? It's like she's not even breaking a sweat!
no subject
Think fast, Pinkie!
POOF.
no subject
Awww yeah!
...In your face, Trixie!

"This- this can't be!"

Twilight casts her eye on Apple Jack, who tries to flee before--
POOF.
Too late.
"...eeeyup," says Apple Jack, crossing
herhis legs uncomfortably.POOF. And she's back again.

"With this amilet, I shall now rule all of Equestria" Because why should she just stop at Ponyville? She has the most powerful thing in existence and nothing could ever hope to stop her now. She lets loose another laugh, taking off the red amulet she's wearing right now. She can feel the amulet's power wearing off immediately, but she won't be powerless like this for long.
She puts on her shiny, stylish new amulet. "Witness, my subjects! Gaze upon an ever Greater and More Powerful-er Trrrrixie!" the new overlord decrees, trilling the 'r' in her name. All will soon know her power.

One of the two Rainbow Dashes swoops down to the ground and back up again, grabbing the Alicorn Amulet from Trixie's outstretched hoof as she passes.
no subject
Still, there is the matter of stealing from her. A lesson needs to be taught here. Trixie will definitely make that Rainbow Dash pay. She shoots a pink magical beam at the Rainbow Dash that stile her old amulet.
no subject
...and starts giggling.
"Stop it! That tickles!"
no subject
Trixie angrily glances down at her amulet and pokes it a couple times with her hoof. "This amulet is defective!" It looks like she'll be needing her Alicorn Amulet back, so she fires off another Agony Beam at the Rainbow Dash and outstretches a hoof. "Give mine back!"
no subject
She swoops back down to where Zecora is waiting with a small wooden box. Dash drops the Alicorn Amulet into the box and smartly closes the lid.

The cheap craft glue holding the stone to the necklace chooses that moment to give way, and the "amulet" drops to the ground and cracks in half.
no subject
"But- uh... How did you do those spells? Nopony could do those spells!" Trixie's going to get to the bottom of this one way or another.
no subject
Twilight waves toward Town Hall, and ponies start spilling out from their hiding places. There are three extra Apple Jacks wiping makeup out of their fur, and one tiny Rarity combing the dye out of her mane. The second Rainbow Dash removes her wig and shakes out Fluttershy's soft pink hair.
"Zecora taught me so much about magic while I was in exile," Twilight explains. "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. Combined with some good old-fashioned stagecraft and slight-of-hoof, of course. I also knew that the only pony who could get the Amulet off your neck was you, so..."

"But... What about the pony with the ten instruments?"

...Semi-best day ever!
