//The End of Her Reign//
//By ChaseWCanon//
Intro:
It has been several years since the fall of both Nightmare Moon and
Discord. And now, there is a new rise of evil. One none of us ever expected,
Princess Celestia. Her reign started shortly after we had vanquished Discord.
For reasons currently unknown Celestia has become, different. She has become
drunk on power and is now driving all of Equestria into the ground! We, the
elements of harmony, have defeated the once powerful evils of this land twice
before and can do it again. But it's not as simple as that.
Celestia and split us all up and many of us have fallen way from our
elements. Rainbow wants nothing to do with us, Fluttershy has become very
bitter, Apple Jack had moved too Celestia knows where, Pinkie Pie has lost all
hope and is now dull and lifeless, Rairity has secluded herself away from
everypony else in her boutique not to be disturbed, and me, I have even stopped
using magic! I barely even get out of bed anymore... Spike still takes care of me
but I feel like too much of a burden. Its now time for us to reunite and take down
the tyranny of Celestia before it gets too far out of hoof.
Chapter 1:
“Guards, seize her!” the voice said “I’ve had about enough out of you”
“NO! DON’T YOU SEE WHAT IT HAS DONE TOO YOU! YOU’VE CHANGED!
DON’T DO THIS!”
“Oh, you think ‘I’ve’ changed... That is not the case. It is you six that
have changed. I used to trust you all, but now, now I can’t even stand to look at
you. You all disgust me. I cant believe YOU, my once greatest pupil, would subside
to something as low as this. Guards take them out of here, and make sure I don’t
see them ever again.”
Twilight sprung up in her bed in a cold sweat. She looked around the
room to catch her bearings. She finally realized that this was truly real life.
“Oh, good. It was only a dream.” At that moment Spike busted threw the
door and started yelling.
“ARE YOU OK? I HEARD SCREAMING”
“Calm down Spike, it was only a dream” Twilight wishes that, that could be true, but
she knows that this had happen once before. It had been only a month since that
fateful day, and yet, it was as vivid as if it had happened yesterday.
“Oh good, I thought SHE might have come back.” Spike had known what
had happened that fateful day and knew she was in hiding. Right now Celestia
thinks that she, along with all the rest of the Mane six, are dead.
“Why don’t you come downstairs? I’ll make you breakfast! How about
pancakes, your favorite. I’ll even make them in wizard shapes just like you like
them!” Spike had said gleefully trying to cheer up Twilight for he knew what she
was dreaming about.
“Ok” Twilight said “ill be down in minute, let me get ready.”
Twilight approached her mirror “I don’t know what I’d ever do without
Spike...” she thought as she brushed her mane precisely 30 times as she had
done everyday. Then she proceeded to walk down the staircase to the main room.
There in front of her was a petrified Spike holding a newspaper.
“What is it?” Twilight asked”
“...” no response.
Twilight slowly walked behind Spike, peeking over his shoulder to see
as to what he had been looking at.
“WANTED” was written in big letters on the front page of the newspaper,
“If you are to stumble upon any of these ponies in the pictures. Please contact the
authorities IMMEDIATELY. Remember, if you know something and don’t say
anything then you are just as guilty as the ones wanted.” there below the text was
6 pictures of her and her once friends. Twilight was also petrified upon seeing this
article.
“Yes, Celestia” all the guards said in unison.
“NO! YOU CANT DO THIS!” Twilight screamed as she was drug across
the cold stone floor “DON’T YOU SEE WHAT SHE IS DOING! WE CAN STOP HER IF
YOU JUST LET US GO!”
“Sorry,” one of the guards said in a low sincere voice “but we can’t.”
Twilight pushed and pulled as she struggled to break free of the guards
bonds. She lowered her body then used all of her leg strength to jump forward to
escape. It worked.
“STOP HER!” Celestia demanded towards the guards.
*WHACK*
Twilight had been struck against her face with a large metal shield.
“Lights out” she had heard as she slowly drifted away from
consciousness
Twilight snapped back to reality. But it took her a while to grasp what
had just happened.
Spike was franticly running around looking for something.
“WHERE IS IT? WHERE IS IT?” Spike asked himself nervously
“What is it that you're looking for Spike?”
“The gem rarity had given me. If we are going to have to leave then I
need to find it.”
“No, Spike I can’t let you leave,”
“Huh, but didn’t you read the newspaper? You're a wanted pony and they
obviously know where we live!”
“I know, and that’s why l’ll be leaving. You on the other hoof, will
be staying.”
“But Twilight...”
“No buts,” Twilight interrupted “ They are coming for me, not you... I
can’t let you risk your life to come with me. Its far too dangerous. I must leave and
go warn the others. We will try... NO! We WILL take down Celestia this time. And
when we do I will come back for you.
“Please don’t leave, you're all I have left”
“I have too, for the good of all of Equestria.”
“Here I packed us a satchel full of food and other things... Just let me
take a few thins out.” Spike rustled through the satchel and pulled out many
pieces of memorabilia, A picture of Spike and Rarity... Their tickets to the gala... A
photo album, and many more things.
“Thank you Spike but I must be going now. Soon the guards will be here
and i don’t want you to be with me if they find me.”
“Twilight,”
“Hmm”
“ I L-L-L-Love you.”
“I love you too Spike.”
And with that, Twilight departed the library for what felt was the last
time. Many memories where made here and soon she would be leaving the city for
what she thinks will be forever.
“Where to start” She thought to herself “I don’t even know where half of
them are anymore... I guess I’ll start the only place I can”
Rarity.
