(ALTERNATE ENDING) Rocket to insanity: dawn of a dying Pegasus: the broken allegiance

By early morning they had formed a plan. The six of them would go on a train to Canterlot together, not being separated for any reason. The Doctor would travel close to the castle in the TARDIS. They would be wearing dark, long, hooded black cloaks provided by the Doctor, to not arouse suspicion. They would go to see Celestia, and would dispose of the cloaks when they were before her. They each carried silenced pistols loaded with high-dose tranquilizer darts, except for Fluttershy, in case things got ugly and they had to force they're way out(again, supplied by the Doctor). They would speak with her, to make it known that they were back, but no longer held allegiance to Celestia. Luna had nothing to do with it, they were fine with her, but if Equestria's fate was in their hooves, they'd do it their own way, ignoring Celestia completely. The mane six would never be the same, but it was better this way. The Doctor had also put some sort of implant in their brains, so they would be much more skilled in combat, and Twilight's and Rarity's magic would improve tenfold, as would Rainbow's and Fluttershy's flying abilities. It was time for action.

Though some gave them looks of curiosity as they passed, none recognized them, as the cloak completely covered them, and they wore black cloth around their exposed hooves.

As they approached the castle, guards gave them suspicious looks as they passed, but did not stop them. Heading toward the throne room, when the guards stopped them, Twilight spoke in a low voice, "We seek audience with Princess Celestia." Though they were wary, they let them pass.

Walking before Celestia, they bowed slightly, knowing it was the last time they would do so. "Good afternoon, Princess Celestia," Twilight said in her normal voice, nodding at the others to keep a tight hand on their concealed pistols.

Celestial looked down at them, looking slightly sad. "May I ask who seeks audience with me?" She inquired, but Twilight scoffed.

"You know who I am, Princess," she spat the last word slightly. "Please, you're insulting my intelligence."

Celestia's eyes widened when she realized who it was. "Twilight?" She asked. "I expected you to never see me again. What brought this on, and why the cloaks, and who is with you?"

Twilight grinned. "You can't guess? After all, there's six of us. Reveal yourselves," she sharply told the cloaked figures.

One by one, they disposed of they're cloaks, with Celestia's expression becomeing more incredulous with each revelation. Fluttershy, Rarity, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, and the last one... Rainbow Dash herself.

"Seize them!" She cried, looking terrified. Were they ghosts?

As the guards approached, Twilight exchanged a glance with the others. "Neutralize them!" She yelled, drawing her pistol along with the others.

With a few fast *pew pew!*s, the guards were unconscious on the floor. However, several more arrived through the front doors.

"CEASE HOSTILITY!" Twilight roared at the princess, pointing her firearm at her. "We need to have a talk!"

Celestia regained some sense, calling off the guards, wanting to know what in the name of Tartarus was going on.

Celestia spoke first. "How?" She asked, looking amazed. "How are you all alive?"

Twilight growled slightly. "That's for us to know, and for you to never find out. All that you need to know is that we're back, and Rainbow's back to normal. Also, just a suggestion, I think you should be more careful what you say," she pointed out Pinkamena, snarling a bit, with her mane and tail flat.

"Alright," Celestia said, choosing her words carefully. "Why are you all here, then?"

"To alert you that we're back, of course, among other things," Twilight said, rolling her eyes. "5 ponies who are supposed to be dead can hardly just waltz back into Ponyville, now can't they?"

"N-no, of course not," Celestia agreed shakily. "Do you want me to do something about this dilemma?"

"All we want you to do is alert Ponyville that we're back," Twilight said. "that's all."

"You said ‘among other things’," Celestia said. "What other things?"

" Do not think that this changes things between us," Twilight elaborated sharply. "We want you to know that we no longer harbor any allegiance to you. You lost our trust when you executed Rainbow like that without giving us a chance to explain." Celestia noticed all 6 of them looked a little angrier. "We will never trust you again. Is that understood?" Celestia nodded. "Also, if Equestria's fate falls once again, into our hooves, we are doing it on our own, with no help from you. You will never be a part of our plans again."

"And don't think this changes my thoughts either," Twilight said. "I'm still considering whether or not to kill you." The princess looked slightly afraid now. "Eh, maybe in a few years, maybe never. Either way, we are separate from you now, no exceptions." They put their cloaks back on. "We will be taking our leave now." They each walked away, one after the other.

"Twilight!" Celestia let out a desperate shout. Twilight slowly turned. "I know how angry you are, but.." This could either be very bad or slightly helpful. "Can you ever forgive me?"

Twilight stared. Then she laughed, laughing so hard tears were streaming. "Me? Forgive you? After THIS?" Twilight stopped laughing and looked solemn. "Maybe I will someday, maybe I won't. I don't know. But you know what?" She asked. She then suddenly appeared next to Celestia, not teleported, just suddenly appeared. She then whispered menacingly in her ear.

"I. Don't. Care." She then vanished, going with her friends toward the train station.
