Canterlot Palace, C.T.U. Headquarters, 2240 hours, Tuesday the 6th

"General Sheatherd the evacuation is taking place aren't you coming along?"

"In a moment Princess there are some loose ends to tie up. Twilight and her friends have something very important to tell you. They'll be here in about ten minutes"

"Oh that'll be just lovely, now what loose ends are you tending to?"

"Erasing all the data from our hardware and making sure the security cameras aren't recording"

"Recording what?"

"Why your death of course" Princess Celestia's royal guards drew their pistols and pointed them at her. "Walk with me Princess there's much to discuss" the four ponies walked out of the room into the shiny hallway. "Oh don't try to disarm you-my staff they're wearing magic seals that when magic interacts with it gives the pony using it a little shock treatment"

"Why are you doing this, why kill me, what will it accomplish?"

"Accomplish, my dear Princess it's not what we're trying to accomplish it's what we're trying to create. A world where ponies could rule the stars and galaxies, we'll be able to have anything in the universe at our disposal with the stamp of our hooves. This is not a war or a rebellion, it's a revolution. Now after your death we will be supreme"

"How"?

"My dear Princess that information is classified, but the only thing that is standing in our way is you and that damn Twilight Sparkle. Now you're gonna be a good Princess and sit on the throne waiting for Twilight as we set our trap it's going to be a hell of a ride and I wouldn't want you to miss it or to be dead while it happens"

The Princess sat down on her golden throne as the three ponies started to set up their trap placing explosives in areas that would always be overlooked such as the rafters and where the columns met the balconies. After it was all set up General Sheathered hid behind one of the columns waiting for the three ponies to walk into the one thing they'd never expect.

Outside the palace, 2250 hours

"Hmm I guess everypony has already evacuated to Whinneapolis"

"Ya it is quite odd not seeing the streets filled with anypony"

"Well here's the palace think the Princess is still here dear?"

"She has to be, I sent a transmission about fifteen minutes ago" the four ponies trotted up the stairs to the palace. Not seeing a royal guard anywhere was another thing they noticed, but if there weren't any royal guards would that mean there was no Princess?

The four ponies got to the top of the stairs and saw the huge golden door as Twilight went onward to open it Scott groaned out spitting out blood. He was clenching his shoulder harder than before the walk up the stairs was too much for him. He didn't pace himself, but instead tried to move faster than the others. Sam hurried toward him tending to his aching wound.

"You two go ahead, Scott and I will be fine out here"

The two ponies nodded and proceeded inside the castle leaving the door wide open just in case Scott was feeling better and wanted to meet the Princess. They walked down the regal hallway not admiring it so much this time around because of the event that had changed their lives.

They walked onward until they could see the shining brightness of the throne room. Twilight galloped toward the room with Rarity following close behind. When they got into the room they were a little depressed. There was the Princess sitting in her golden throne, there were two royal guards with their straight faces as normal beside her, but only two. With this 'war' going on she should have at least five. The Princess had a sad face on barely even lifting it to gaze upon her faithful student.

"Twilight, you're here"

"Princess I have something to tell you. It's about the rebels what they want it's…"

"Yes Twilight I know, but listen to me… RUN! IT'S A TRAP!" one of her royal guards came up to her and put his forearm around her putting her into a headlock and threw her to the ground in front of Twilight. General Sheathered then came out of his hiding spot and stabbed Rarity. The knife pierced her heart and she let out a wild scream as he twisted the knife to make sure she would die. Her last words were "Sweetie bell" as she fell to the floor slowly making a puddle of blood.

Sam heard the scream and was about to run inside when he heard Twilight scream down the hall.

"SAM, GET SCOTT OUT OF HERE"! Sam had no time to ask why because he heard the sound of rotors nearing the palace. Twilight had told him what to do if something happened to them, where to go and who to find. He carried Scott down the stairs to the white buzzard and took off. Scott was resisting the whole time telling him that they had to go back, but he couldn't fight Sam in his condition.

A helicopter landed on the palace helipad and Nightmare Moon walked out with two of her shadow guards. They saw the buzzard taking off and the two guards swung their strapped weapons around pointing it at the buzzard, but Nightmare Moon put her right hoof up and caused the two ponies to cease their current action. They then headed toward the throne room.

General Sheathered and his men had already restrained to two ponies and were waiting for Nightmare Moon to arrive. As he waited he played with the detonator a little bit by tossing it in the air. Then Celestia broke the silence.

"Why?"

"Excuse me?"

"Why did you betray me?"

"Well Princess I was offered a better position to power than all you could ever offer"

"And what position is that?"

"Seated beside Nightmare Moon watching the universe unfold as we want it, anything we don't like…gone. It's like being God's right hoof"

"You still haven't told us how you will accomplish all this"

"Why don't you ask Miss Sparkle?" She's known all along" Twilight looked at her mentor with dampened eyes. It was shocking the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

"It's the mhmm" one of the ponies had gagged Twilight before she could finish her sentence leaving the Princess in wonder.

"Well we can't have you knowing what it is even if you won't live to see it happen"

Princess Luna had walked in after his adoring remark"Hello Lance, I see you've had some fun" she was referring to Rarity's body left to bleed on the floor.

"Yes, well she had noticed the charges around the room. Had to be 'taken care of'"

"Well the plan has fallen into place, now to dispose of these two" Twilight magically pulled out her gag in the heat of the moment even if she knew she'd get a beating from one of the guards.

"W-Wait wait, tell us why you wanted to overthrow Princess Celestia instead of asking her to join you" Twilight pleaded for a little more time to devise a plan.

"It's very simple really she's a menace to the universe"

"W-What, how she's the Princess she'd never do anything to threaten the universe, if anything she'd help make it a lot better"

"You haven't told her yet sis, your most faithful student the one who's written letters over and over again to you because she trusted you and you didn't even have the decency to tell her?" Celestia looked at Twilight with a sorrowful look.

"Well sis if you won't tell her I will. You see Twilight my sister here has been secretly planning to blow up Equestria even if it was still in her hooves. There were many things she hated about this place such as the Everfree forest. You remember the tunnels that are on the tour of the palace? They lead all over Equestria, but Celestia had the wrong mind to put charges under them making the cities crumble if anything should ever happen. I, being the second to succeed the throne naturally caught onto her scheme and tried to stop it. Overthrowing her would be a great start to ruling the universe instead of this crummy little kingdom"

Twilight was shocked the Princess had the power to kill everypony in Equestria she hadn't even bothered to tell Twilight which meant the Princess had a little hate for some things that Twilight does. She couldn't even look at her teacher anymore not after hearing everything that Nightmare Moon had told her and it was all truth since the Princess didn't speak up to try and prove any flaws in her story. It was horrifying and it would be the last thoughts on her mind as she was killed.

"Now that I've told you the story of my sister's menacing plan I think it's time that we go and you two shall die. Goodbye Twilight Sparkle" Nightmare Moon left with the four guard ponies while General Sheathered stayed behind to make sure the detonation went smoothly.

"Well, Miss Sparkle I suppose is the last time we'll be meeting each other I hope you two have fun as the building crumbles down on your helpless back" he chuckled slightly then walked slowly out of the room with the detonator in his hoof. He opened the casing to reveal a red button and the charges around the two ponies started a slow beeping. Twilight looked at the Princess who was staring at the ground she had lost the faithful student who had trusted her since she was a filly if she wasn't restrained she jump out of the window and end this faster.

Twilight couldn't stay mad at the Princess since these were their final moments together so she shuffled closer to her the restraints chafing a bit as they slid on the floor. She gave the Princess a warm nuzzle into her neck.

Celestia was surprised maybe her student hadn't lost faith but she was determined to keep that faith and put her right foreleg around Twilight. She pushed Twilight away giving Twilight a little shock and sadness on her face but she reassured Twilight that it was going to be okay with a smile. Her horn then started to glow and Twilight's chains did as well. It gave her a shocking thanks to the type of metal used for these chains but she wanted Twilight to believe in her again. As the metal started pulling apart the shock became stronger causing her to cry out in pain loudly but nonetheless she kept going. Twilight kept telling her to stop that it wasn't worth her salvation, but she wouldn't hear any of it. Her fur was starting to singe the flawless white of it turning slowly to a black. The chains then broke giving the Princess a sigh of relief and relentless panting as she put her head down to rest. Twilight went to go hug and free her but the Princess knew there wasn't enough time for her and put up her right foreleg with her last ounce of strength to stop Twilight. Twilight had tears starting up; her mentor was going to die if she didn't get her out, but she too also knew it was too late. She then went off out of the room in a storm of anger to find that the room behind her started crumbling and so was the hallway. 'Goodbye Princess'

She galloped down the hallway to find General Sheathered laughing over his triumph. She was going kill him and it wasn't going to be pleasant. The building crumbling all around her was a nuisance dodging all of the lights and rock, but she didn't care she was too angry.

The General was about to get outside of the palace to enter his helicopter, but was then pushed to the ground by a lavender pony. His eyes dilated in shock she was…alive. He could see the anger in her eyes something only blood lust could suffice. The heavy breathing coming down upon him was like steam in a sauna. He reached for something, anything but her hooves kept him pinned down. He tried to reach for the knife wrapped around his barrel but that was a mistake because Twilight saw the movement and snatched it out of its sheath, but that left his left forearm unattended and he punched Twilight catching her by surprise she tumbled off of him. She tried to get up but was met with a swift kick to the stomach. He then pulled out a .44 magnum his last defense and pointed it at Twilight's forehead. "That's one less loose end", but Twilight wasn't going to let it end here not after everything that's happened, she got up the strength in her hind legs and bucked him in his chest making him tumble backwards. He lost his aim and soon after he reset it a knife flew right between his eyes. He fell down with blood drizzling out of the affected area.

Nightmare Moon saw the whole fight before her eyes she thought he could handle her, maybe he wasn't the one to be "God's" right hoof. She told her pilot to take off not wanting to be near the blood driven mare, but she couldn't keep her alive of course so she signaled her squad to execute her.

A group of 13 ponies in gas masks and black suits then were in a circle around Twilight their guns cocked and ready to fire. Well if she was gonna go down she was going down fighting. She lunged at the nearest pony making him grunt when her weight fell upon him. "OPEN FIRE" She picked up his weapon and used his body as a shield, but when the bullets were getting through the flesh she dropped it and started shooting back. She tried to hit them only to be hit by another pony shooting from another angle. The bullets hurt every time one pierced her flesh she wouldn't give up she wanted to live, but her body couldn't hold all the metal inside. She collapsed into a spread eagle position. Her breath became labored as she tried to reach for the weapon. A pony stomped his hoof on hers and she cried out in pain. He pointed his MP5 at Twilight "Now this loose end is tied up" and in a swift three round burst blood flew out of Twilight and onto his suit and mask.

"Nightmare Moon, this is Bad Wolf company Twilight Sparkle has been eliminated"

"Good" she took a sip from martini glass that hovered in a dark blue before her. A pony then came out through the curtains separating the steward's area and her area.

"Miss Moon we've found him"

"Excellent where?" she said as she put down the glass onto a table in front of her.

"Hoofston"

"Great, schedule an appointment because I need a Doctor"
