Oh wow. StarTrix is kinda dominating. Looking over all the stills, this duo is certainly expressive. 

 

CAPTION THIS

"Seriously Trixie, if we're gonna defeat our opponents, you're going to need to know the vital weak points of pony anatomy. Feel this spot? Deep in this spot right here? This is the carotid artery. It supplies blood flow to the brain. " 

[Ganondorf8 11,118]

This division was lopsided right from the get-go what with four established characters up against a number of minor and background characters. I don't think this one should last too long otherwise it could become pretty depressing by the end of it. Oh well... Might as well vote so as to not waste this opportunity.

I knew Starlight and Trixie would be in the lead but I kinda expected thorax to be up there with them.

Depressing?! Are you kidding I actually have a chance for the Wildcard Round!

Thanks Fleetfoot, I’m sorry for dismissing your motivation.

Hey, no worries. You see though, isn’t this much better than sulking away and going home.

Speaking of going home, I’m out of here.  If I actually make it into that Wildcard round just let me know whenever it begins. Good luck to you all, but I just want to be done with this whole thing.  I just want to go home to my wife.

[KH7672 1,604]

Wow Spike this is really close competition between everyone, especially us two, how are you not really nervous about what’s going to happen.

Eh, I was here last cup and after several elimination rounds, trust me you get used to it.  It is nice seeing the wide variety of ponies here today though, well all except-

HA HA HA! The Mane-iac has finally arrived ready for her-

*ZAP!*

Ugggghh…AHHHHHHHHHH!

Nooooooooooooooooooo!

What? She’s in last place, we don’t need her causing trouble.  If she really does come up from behind, sure but for right now, let’s just let her be. (Besides I don’t think Twilight can handle sending anymore ponies back for a while)

Oooh, impressive show Starlight, but now I think it's time for one of my own. I'll go get my things!

[Mirage 24,135]

YES! A Trixie magic show! PLLLEASE!!!

[KH7672 1,604]

Fillies and Gentlecolts, changelings of all ages, behold the Great and Powerful Trixie!

Tonight Trixie will show you magic beyond your wildest imagination! Now for my first trick, let’s see what inside Trixie’s hat-

Guess who?

AH, Discord! Get out of here. One this is my show and two your group is the next one, so stop interrupting ours.

Oh that’s what this is. And here I thought this was a get together for the liberators of the Changeling Kingdom and you forgot to invite me!

Well it isn’t, so stop ruining my show and where is my animal?

Here you are, good luck, talk to you later.

Yeah sure thanks…

Now behold Trixie’s furry assistant will now transform right before your eyes. One, two, three…

TEACUP!

Voilà!

*hoof stomps*

Thank you, thank you, you have been a fantastic audience!

I’m going to guess she hasn’t learned the reversal spell to this.

Trixie is lucky that this poll happened after her surprisingly good outing in Forgotten Friendship as that special helped me to like her even more as a character, at least enough to give her my vote.

 

[Mirage 24,135]

BRAVO!

Oh Oh! Can you turn Angel into a confetti cannon next!!!

[Jeric 46,834]

Blessings to the House KH. This has been hilarious to follow today.

 

[KH7672 1,604]

Hey where are you all going, it’s only a little over half over?

Sorry, I’ve got Wonderbolts practice in the morning, but thanks for inviting all of us it was quite a tight race.

Yeah, I have the next fashion design to submit by tomorrow and thanks to some comments from Applejack…*sigh*…I’ve got some work to do, but I’ll be back for the Wild Card round.

I’d love to stay but with Meadowbrook officially in Tartarus’ group, she’s been quite busy so the work in the bayou is starting to pile up and I’d hate to waste too much time.  But it has been a fantastic experience. Who would have thought I could have made it this far.

And I’m just heading home because, well I’m perfectly fine with whatever outcome.  I got to meet Fleetfoot and Coco here and it has been wonderful.  So this is what it’s like being friendly with everypony, huh?

Well, thanks for coming!

So what do we do now, Starlight?

Well, like I said there’s still several hours left and I’m ready to keep going, but for everyone else: Thanks for coming out, voting, and being part of our experience. And a special thanks to Jeric for changing the date so we could make this possible, because somepony couldn’t pack herself in time by yesterday.

Hey, have you seen my wagon, it’s not easy to find stuff in there?

You’re wagon has wheels, you could’ve just taken it with you!

Oh right…

Well, like I said we'll be here until the end, but have a good night and see you in the morning for the results.

The best part has yet to manifest itself. This group being what it is has made me feel a bit naughty.

 

P.S: Just a friendly reminder to that one mummer who will undoubtedly try to use this as some sort of statistical evidence in debates. This is not my final form.

[KH7672 1,604]

So can you like, change into your original changeling form?

Uh you do know my changeling powers haven’t left me, but sure I guess.

Ooohh, now we should wager if you actually beat Spike you should stay like this for the rest of the competition!

I don’t think that’s very fair as this form isn’t the most suited for competition and besides we’re not even that close, you and Starlight are a lot closer.

Oh that reminds me Trixie, we still have our little wager.

Oh boy, what did you wager this time?

Well, I bet I would beat you in this round in votes. I mean I was in the last cup so I thought I’d have more fans but hey losing to you is better than losing to anypony else.

So right now I’m winning and if things stay the way they are we need to prepare for your loss.

Okay, Spike, what embarrassing thing are you going to make Trixie do?

Well since this is actually going to be on this forum I thought we’d give them even more of a show, so my wager is if Starlight beats you in points, you two….have to kiss.

Wait, are you serious!? Why are you dragging me into this?

Trixie said she would do anything because “The Great and Powerful Trixie never backs down from a challenge” so I thought of the best challenge here on this forum.

No way, this can’t happen.  We’d probably get banned, that kind of imagery or something right?

Well as far as my knowledge of the forum goes, totally platonic or not overly sexualized kisses should be fine.  Don’t worry you could still not win, or an admin could come in and tell me I’m wrong; I mean that just means we can’t show it.  Either way, well see how it all unfolds tomorrow morning.

Ugh, I can’t believe you’ve got me roped into this. This…this is nonsense!

Do I know how this forum thinks or what?

Starlight, it’s getting late. Don’t you think we should get some sleep soon?

Areyoukidding!?! I'veneverhadsomuchenergyinmylife! Ithinkweshouldpullanall-nighter,besidesdon’tyouwannaseehowthevotinggoesyoudon’twannamissanyofthatright!

Ugh, maybe we should just leave her. Then again we don’t want her getting into trouble especially when she’s acting like this. Awe, but I’m so tired…

*THUMP*

Huh, well that solves that problem.

Yeah and with that I’m officially calling this a wrap.  We’ll be back in the morning for the results, so good night.

[Jeric 46,834]

Man that was amazing! By the time I hit submit on this it will be closed. Looks like StarTrix is on the team. Spike and Thorax may have to go head to head at some point to get that last spot. Diamond Tiara ended up surviving with Coco Pommel for one more round. Legit. 

Special thanks to KH for his Live Commentary ... I know many of us were looking forward to this round and he helped deliver. 

EDIT: oh ... looks like I had added an hour to the end there. 

[KH7672 1,604]

WE DID IT WE WON! WE DID IT WE WON!!

WE GET TO BE ON THE SAME TEAM TOGETHER!!!

*ehem* Yes, but who officially won?

And the crowd goes wild.

Awe Spike, you’re so bad.

Okay, that’s enough!

Well I think that does it for our time here at the Changeling Kingdom.  The next group is underway, and we don’t need to be hogging the spotlight anymore.

It’s been so much fun and we’ll still be on this profile for a little longer just to clean up, but this is where we’re ending it.

Maybe we’ll do this again for the Wildcard round with Thorax, Coco, Diamond Tiara, and me but we’ll see.

Until then, thanks for following along with us this entire journey and see you all when the cup really begins.

THANKS FOR HAVING US HERE AND WE’LL BE BACK SOON! GOODBYE FROM GROUP 29!

[Jeric 46,834]

My apologies. Something came up. I'll be starting this Group 31 up here shortly and will have the full 24 hours
