New Equestria

The captain wiped some ash off of his face.

He looked into the canyon of flames and bodies. Ponies were littered everywhere, all burning. The royal guard smirked at the sight. The plan went on without a single glitch, to burn the base of the organization was easy. It was beautiful, watching the canyon burn in a wonderful shade of red and orange, writhing as the flames spread. The guard looked to the walls of the canyon and smiled as he watched pegasi try to fly out, failing and falling back into the fire and set ablaze, their screams echoing across the chasm. One managed to get to his gray hooves. A tan mare with a blue mane, she had a cutie mark of a map. The guard would think she would be beautiful if she wasn't a member of the revolting scum he had killed millions of times. The mare opened her mouth and spoke, her voice limp and raspy.

"Why do you follow...that monster? She is a terrible pony, no forgiveness in her veins. All she wants is power. Nothing else. All she ever does is hate, hate, hate. No love, mercy, or care. She doesn't care who lives or dies."

The stallion looked into her eyes with his dead pupils. This terrible excuse of a pony deserved to die. No pony ever resisted the queen and lived. Forever would she rule all of Equestria, her laws lasting until the end of time. He slowly pushed her hooves off the side of the cliff, her eyes widening and tears forming.

"Long live the queen. He whispered into her ear, his voice as soft as death.

The mare plummeted into the canyon. She stared at him with dead eyes as she fell. She screamed as her body was set aflame.

The captain smiled. The screams were music in his ears.

"My queen!"

Dead Star walked into the room. As the captain of the royal guards, he had to report everything to the Queen. His pale blue mane following behind him, he bowed to his great leader and spoke.

"The mission has been a success. The Resistance base has been destroyed. No survivors were found. The flare went off perfectly. No pony had expected that one of their new 'members' was a guard. He snuck in and planted the device where no pony could find it. He flew out at night, where he told us when to ignite it."

The Queen turned to him with cold eyes. Dead Star cowered under her gaze.

"I don't care abut what that Pegasus had accomplished. Did you not search the area to see if anyone escaped?" She asked.

"No. We were sure that no one could escape the flames..." Dead Star responded, before the burning sensation closed around his throat. It constricted into his respiratory system and he choked, he had been a victim of this spell many times, but he still couldn't breathe when she did it. He was lifted into the air.

"Fool." The Queen growled. "No one had to escape. Some might have been outside of the base. You should have scouted the area!" She tossed him to the wall, coughing. "No matter. The air force will take care of it. They will be bombing the area soon."

"My lady... I'm sorry for disappointing-GACK!" The burning once again closed around his throat. He choked and gagged until the spell was taken off of him. The Queen's Horn glowed and her wings flared.

"Are you AWARE of what I had to go through to get my place!? I had to murder my friends, brother, his wife and my mentor. I had to destroy the Crystal Empire and everyone in it. I am a GOD. No, more. I killed the immortal. I am more than a God! A Deity! I will never be stopped by a group of sorry excuses that think they can take me down!" The Queen turned around."But why are we still talking? My subjects are waiting." She stepped on to the balcony and was greeted by the poor and defenseless ponies she ruled over. They looked at her with fearful eyes, the rich and poor, young and old. The royal guards and air force bowed to her.

"My subjects! Today, I bring great news! On this day, the Resistance, the very ponies that robbed the stores, bombed our buildings, kidnapped our foals, and defied me, has crumbled! No pony was found alive at their base! They thought that they were safe, but one flaw was visible: no one could guard them or their base! My soldiers infiltrated them and set the canyon afire! Now their mistake led to their deaths!" A filly cried out in the audience. The Queen gestured to the sound and an air force officer brought the filly toward her. A green maned, yellow filly was brought to her, struggling against the hoof against her mouth and cheek. The cowering look in her eyes made the Queen smile. She nodded and the snap of the foal's neck echoed everywhere in the audience. The lifeless body dropped into the bushes below the castle. The mother rushed to her foal and cradled the dead body in her hooves, wailing. The Queen looked at the officer, and he swept down and took her away.

"Let every pony know that my rein will last for an eternity! No one will bring me down. I will forever be your loved queen."

The Queen walked back into the castle. The air force and royal guards walked on to the balcony and waved the star printed flags.

"All hail our Queen! Twilius Ancora Sparkle!"

The Queen grinned. She said in a quiet voice from when she was accepted as the former ruler's student.

"Please, Celestia. Call me Twilight Sparkle."
