Magic trick (Patreon)

This is final drawing from my last stream Picarto stream. There had been a couple of suggestions for Reaperbloom, and there had also been some requests for the Headless Horse. Well it  just happens that in my Equestria dreamscape Applebloom with the help of  her servant has picked up some new abilities and tricks. She even  showed some of them off at the Ponyville Talent Show in a very recent  dream.

    Applebloom took a deep breath.  Then she slowly strolled out on to the stage her signature red bow  flapping slightly as she walked. There was a murmur from the audience as  they tried to decide what exactly her performance was going to be.  Applebloom's family was seated in the front row of the outdoor theater.  She didn't have any musical instrument or stage costume. Stopping near  the edge of the stage she addressed the audience gathered.

    "Good evening! Tanight I will show ya some magic that very few ponies have ever seen! Behold!"

     Suddenly the filly's shadow leaped and engulfed her body up the neck,  then it transformed into a suit a black plate armor that glistened like  obsidian. There was a general murmuring from the crowd. Earth ponies  were by their nature normally didn't perform magic like this, but there  many rumors, stories, and tales surrounding Applejack younger sister  now.

    The buttercream yellow filly proceeded  to do a set of her practice katas in the plate. The armor softly  hissed, sighed, and moaned slightly as she vaulted, leaped, rolled, and  tumbled around the stage. The audience started stomping their hooves in a  approval. The filly looked out at the ponies gathered.

     "That ain't nothing! How about this!" Suddenly great, black,  glistening bat wings erupted from the armor as Applebloom launched  herself into the night sky. The crowd became more vocal as she swooped,  rolled, and flew above them. She came to a hover above them. "Now let me  introduce y'all ta assistant!"

    The filly  held her front hooves out at chest level; a blue violet orb started  forming between the hooves. Suddenly a gigantic black scythe burst into  existence. The filly grabbed it with her front hooves, as she did a  great cat slit eye of malachite green snapped up on the scythe and the  blade erupted with violet flame. Flying higher above audience now the  filly began a set of aerial katas with scythe. This performance earned  the filly various sounds of surprises and appreciation.

     Finishing her set the filly swoop over the stage and came to a hover  about 10ft above it. Suddenly her voice boomed. As she did her best  impression of the Royal Canterlot voice.

"AND NOW FER MY FINAL TRICK!"

     In one swift stroke the edge of the scythe swung and took her head  clean off. The filly's head sailed up into the nighttime sky. Then it  fell back to earth. The filly's body reached out and grabbed it's head  with its right front hoof. Then it tucked it under it's front right leg.  

"TAADAAA!" Yelled the filly with a big happy grin on her face.

     Several ponies swore Big Mac fainted although he denies that.  Applejack who'd been taking a swig of cider sprayed it all over the place. Granny Smith just shook her head, and Miss Cheerilee stared dumbfounded while Stone Mane laughed. 

    And after that evening Applebloom was banned from ever competing again in any future Ponyville Talent Shows.
