A sequel titled [[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/364939/i-monster I, Monster]] has been started.

* BigDamnHeroes:
** When The Dark Force is about to kill the Mane Six, [[spoiler: Lightning Dust jumps in and knocks it into the sky.]]
** Just as The Dark Force is about to kill [[spoiler: Lightning Dust]], Pinkie Pie and Discord come in and blast it with the former's party canon, while Rainbow Dash sloops in the save the former, before her and Applejack jump in and join the fight alongside Pinkie Discord.



* BitterSweetEnding: Sadly ''much'' more on the bitter side of the trope: In the end [[spoiler: The Dark Force in The Alicorn Amulet takes over Trixie's body almost completely and The Mane Six had to seal her in stone with The Elements, while Trixie was just barley there enough to [[TearJerker tell them to do it.]] Not only that, but they also had to ''reseal'' [[HeelFaceTurn post-reformation]] Discord in the process, as [[HeroicSacrifice he was holding her down so they'd have an opening]]. Oh, and Lightning Dust was beat and mauled so badly, she needed a ''wheel chair'', to attend the memorial.]] About the only bright sides, are the fact that the [[spoiler: [[TakenForGranite the stone prison Trixie and Discord are in]] can be undone once the others have found a way to help her]] and WordOfGod confirming this story is only part one of a series, where these lingering problems can be resolved later in.



* BrownNote: The Dark Forces laughter, is enough to physical harm and incapacitate The Mane Six (plus Lightning Dust), even leaving a couple of them temporarily deafened.



* ColdBloodedTorture: The Darkness stabs [[spoiler: Lightning Dust]] with its/Trixie's claws, where her wings connect to her body, in retaliation for her trying to attack it.



* DealWithTheDevil: The Dark Force tries to offer one to [[spoiler: Lightning Dust]].



* DemonicPossession: The Dark Force in the Alicorn Amulet, manages to fully take over Trixie's body during the climax.
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: [[spoiler: Lightning Dust manages to tackle and fly The Dark Force into the air before ''ramming into the ground'' and slapping some magical restraints on it.]] While it doesn't last, keep in mind, this is a force that just previously knocked out '''Discord''', who was almost defeated by a lone pegasus.



** Later played for humor, after Trixie [[spoiler: spends her whole months supply of cash on wine and Twilight complains that it was supposed to last her the whole month, only for Trixie to point out that it ''is'' the end of the month.]]



* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: In the end, The Mane Six a forced to both seal Trixie and re-seal Discord in stone, after the Trixie manages to just barley fight The Dark Force controlling her, while Discord holds her down, so the Mane Six have a clear shot.]]
* HopeSpot:
** After dying a second time, it looks like Trixie will at least be able to rest in peace... cue The Dark Force in the Alicorn Amulet dragging her away.
** Near the end, after the dark force in the Amulet takes over Trixie's body completely, Discord is able to contain and identify it, before deciding to go in and deal with mano-a-mano, sure he can easily resolve things from here and the girls, for the first time in a long while, are able to relax and breathe a sigh of relief, thinking things will all work out. [[spoiler: Then the darkness defeats Discord and breaks out of his containment. Cue OhCrap moment.]]
** Later on, it looks like [[spoiler: Lightning Dust]] actually got the better of The Dark Force and has it in magical restraints to block off it's magical powers... Cue it simply beating her down, before tearing off said restraints with brute force.
