>You can feel the tension in the air. >Twilight and the Princess are glaring at each other, their eyes practically beaming. >"Twilight, do not make me hurt you," the Princess boomed.  "Obey my orders, or suffer the consequences." >You don't like the sounds of that, especially seeing as the Princess' horn looks like it could gore an elephant. >Wait... does she have... Wings? >"Princess, I won't let you hurt him." Twilight responds, as her eyes begin to glow. >"I didn't want to have to do this, Twilight," the Princess says, planting her hooves on the floor, "But you leave me no choice." >Aw shit, wizard battle. >Well, kind of.   >The Princess fires a large beam at Twilight, trying to push her off of the table. >Twilight barely shifts her head, conjuring a shield that sends the blast careening into the wall. >Holy shit.   >Twilight returned fire with two smaller beams. >The first shot directly at the Princess, only to met by a shield that was a simple mimicry of Twilight's. >The second, however, curved under the shield and slammed right into the Princess. >Damn, Twilight. >You scary.   >Even though it was a direct hit, it was barely a slap to the Princess. >"I won't hold back anymore, Twilight." >"Bring it on, Celestia." >She's pretty fearless for a small, purple pony. >This time, the Princess fires two glowing orbs, whose paths intertwine. >They're disorienting pattern makes them difficult to track. >You're not liking these odds. >Twilight closes her eyes and breathes deeply. >What the fuck is she doing?! "Twilight, watch ou-" >Twilight catches both orbs without even opening her eyes. >She smashes them together into one big ball of energy, and throws them right back at Celestia. >The Princess frantically tried to put up a shield, but it shatters as the sphere slams through it and into her. >This time, Celestia was knocked off of her feet.   >No wonder Twilight had trouble with healing magic. >She was much more suited to kicking ass than fixing it.   >Celestia was back on her feet with two flaps of her giant wings. >In any other situation, you would have called her graceful. >Presently, she was only an angel of death. >"Twilight, I... I don't want to hurt you," Celestia said, this time her voice much softer, "Please, stop this madness." >Twilight's glare didn't relent. >"I won't let you hurt him." >Celestia's face turned to anger. >"Then I have no choice." >Without warning, the medical equipment in the wall unlodged themselves and sped towards Twilight, their blades aimed at her body. >The surgical tray on the table rose and blocked their path. >This time, Celestia had learned from Twilight. >All of the blades curve around the tray, and are on a straight shot for Twilight's head. >Twilight gasps. >This isn't good.   >Everything goes white. >Did you get hit? >Are you dead? >What the hell happened? >The light quickly fades, and you immediately notice something's different. >Holy hell. >Twilight switched places. >Celestia is frozen with fear, the blades hovering near her neck. >"I'm not going to let you hurt an innocent." Twilight says, slowly walking over to Celestia and your operation table. >"I-Innocent? I thought you said he attacked you in the forest?!" Celestia says, making sure her body is completely still. >"What? No! He SAVED me from what attacked me!" Twilight says, not letting her guard down. >No fucking way. >Celestia begins laughing like nothing you've heard before. >Twilight tenses up, ready for another attack. >"This is just a big misunderstanding, then!" Celestia says, stepping off of the table.   >No. Fucking. Way. >Twilight's eyes widen, her face droops. >"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry Princess!" Twilight says, dropping the knives. >A scalpel narrowly misses your crotch. "Hey, could you watch where you drop those?!" >"Oops!" Twilight says, picking up the blade and making sure to re-organize the medical equipment >She places them all back on the tray. >That was quite the transition. >Badass to suck-up in less than a minute. >"It's my fault. I thought you said he was the 'beast' that attacked you! If I had listened closely, none of this would have happened!" Celestia says warmly, rubbing Twilight on the head. "Am... Am I going to die?" >The restraints on the surgical table burst open, freeing you from the metal plate you've been chained to this whole time. "Th-Thanks..." You say, still in shock of, well, everything. >Waking up in an operating room. >Being sliced open. >Witnessing a wizard battle. >Between ponies.   >This place is weird. >Really weird.
