"K-k-kill her? I think that's a wee bit over the top!" Twilight stammered, obviously disturbed of the thought.

Esther pressed her hooves to her head. "I have to finish what I started. It's the only way I can redeem myself."

Luna widened her eyes. "You don't mean-"

This earned a her a stone cold stare from the queen. "I think it is time for you to leave."

"But-"

Luna felt her own legs stretch out, and with no warning whatsoever, she started to gallop. Past the corridors, stairs, and past the guards she went. It was extremely terrifying; having no control over your body. When she attempted to resist, a sharp pain arose in her knee. The invisible force was released when Luna finally reached the facade of the palace. What the heck just happened? Looking back, she saw that Twilight suffered the same ordeal.

The purple unicorn exhaled. "Well, at least we have her support. Well, I think we do at least. We ought to get going to recruit other ponies."

"What about Steven Magnet?" Luna asked.

Twilight facehoofed. "It doesn't matter!"

The duo flashed in the same mind-blowing light as before.

They were now at the Equestrian Gem Mines.

"You wanted to see me, princess?" Rarity asked.

She was in the royal throne room. Celestia was resting on her typical seat, nodding her head. She seemed less aggravated now; one sign being that her mane was not lashing out.

"Yes... Rarity, correct? I would like to ask you for a... Favor." Rarity felt shocked and thrilled and the same time. "A favor? From me? Really?" Celestia nodded. "I would just love it if you designed some fabulous uniforms for our troops. And when I mean fabulous, I mean terrifying." Rarity frowned. Designing uniforms? For soldiers?

"But Princess! Didn't Esther call off the whole charade a week ago?" Rarity dared to ask. Much to her surprise, Celestia didn't snap or anything.

"Of course. But we need something to do about those...rebels." Celestia retorted in disgust. Suddenly, a thought came to Rarity. Aren't Twilight, Pinkie, Luna, and Applejack rebels? Rarity shook the thought away. This wasn't the time to think about that.

Rarity gave out a nervous chuckle. "Oh Princess, I'm sure the rebels are no threat to you. Nothing more than a silly little club." Celestia stared at Rarity with a fierce glare. "No, Rarity. These rebels are much more than just a club. They are a force to be reckoned with, my dear. They're growing in increasingly dangerous numbers." Celestia stated with a sickening, stoic voice.

Rarity nervously looked around the room. "O-ok, Princess. I'll design the most..." Rarity struggled greatly to say the last few words. "Terrifying outfit I can possibly think of!" It'll be horrifying, alright... Rarity thought. Tonight was going to be long, wasn't it?

Luna and Twilight exchanged glances. How in the hay did they get into the mines? "How-" Twilight started, but Luna interrupted her. "I don't know, Twilight Sparkle, but it's probably for the best neither of us ask any questions." Twilight nodded in agreement. They both took in their surroundings. Many, many miners slaved away, carrying various gems of wonderful colors.

Rubies of scarlet red, sapphires of only the purest ocean blue, and diamonds that could outshine the sun. Gems lined every inch of the cave. If you subtracted the underpaid ponies working their plots off, you could say it was pretty beautiful. While Luna couldn't stop staring at the moonstone embedded into the walls of the cave, Twilight trotted off to take care of some..."Other" business.

Other business as in turning innocent neutral ponies into traitorous rebels.

She saw a particular pony she knew she'd seen before. Who was it? Think Twilight, think... Suddenly, it came to mind. Jazz! Jazz was one of the judges for Twilight's entrance exam. Jazz was hauling a cart full of topaz. Before she could stop herself, she galloped like over to him as fast as she could. "HI MR. JAZZ, SIR!" she practically screamed. Jazz (Along with multiple other ponies) turned to look straight at her, who was smiling like a total idiot.

Twilight kept grinning expectantly at the unicorn, expecting him to give her hugs and congratulations. "If I may ask," he said, "Who in Celestia's name are you?" Twilight frowned deeply. How could he not recognize her? "It's me, Twilight Sparkle..." she said, looking as sad as a mule(No offense to any mules, of course ;3). Twilight Sparkle... he thought.

Twilight Sparkle...

Twilight Sparkle...!

TWILIGHT SPARKLE!

Jazz suddenly remembered. The big ball of light, being levitated in the air, the dragon... He let out a loud groan and forced himself to look as happy as can be. "Hello...Twilight." Twilight grinned from ear to ear. He remembered! Twilight inhaled deeply, ready to ask all sorts of dumbass questions about whats been going on in his life. Jazz reared up and galloped to the other side of the cave and disappeared into one of the many small tunnels leading to more and more gems.

Twilight held up her hoof toward where he ran. Just like one of those cheesy soap operas where one of the main character runs away from his/her love interest who has to watch. ANYWAY. It was pretty heartbreaking how he just galloped away from her right when they reunited.

But it was okay. She had an important job to do.

But little did she know, Jazz committed suicide with a pick axe out of delirium. He was sure Twilight was a hallucination and thought that his misery and hallucinations had gone too far this time.

When Luna descended next to her, the lunar princess understood.

"ATTENTION!" Luna roared with such power, the ground rumbled.

Each and every pony's head turned into the direction of the source of the Royal Canterlot Voice.

"YOU SEE MY SISTER HAD DONE HORRID THINGS. I REFUSE TO WATCH MY SUBJECTS TO SUFFER ANYMORE! JOIN ME AND THE QUEST TO OVERTHROW THE SOVEREIGN!" The princess spoke with a new confidence. Twilight watched her proudly. She had changed since Nightmare Night.

There was uncertain murmurs hanging at the crowd's lips.

"YOU SURELY DO NOT WANT TO WORK HERE FOREVER?"

Silence.

"WE HAVE QUEEN ESTHER ON OUR SIDE. WE CAN WIN! WE CAN DO THIS! WE CAN SLAY THE CRUEL SOVEREIGN OF THIS LAND AND WIPE HER FROM EXISTANCE! WHO IS WITH ME?"

She had never heard louder cheering.

A/N: KERMIT HERE! RIVER AND I WORKED ON THIS CHAPPIE! ^w^

"Kermit pinned River's precious OC's with a sturdy arm, and popped in the knife into her(YES I'M A GIRL :I) victim's mouth. She cut off their tongues with a ease, and held it over their heads to see. She giggled as the poor ponies attempted to respond. But alas, the scarlet fluid which flooded their mouths prevented from doing so."

LOLJK. I'M NOT GONNA KILL OFF YOUR OCS.
