Not long after Discords second defeat an anti government group called Freedom rules every pony eternally overthrew the princesses. This costed them and every single pony living more than they ever could have comprehended. The group snuck into the castle during a meeting and gunned them all down. Then proceeded to fight there way through the castle to an on waiting truck and escaped. This was a moment that was forever known as, the turning point of the world. An emergency meeting was scheduled to discuss the plan of action. "Since the group struck at dusk the moon is now and has been raised for months with no pony to lower it." "I say we find another alicorn to do the same thing as the other alicorns." Said a tall tan stallion attending. "The populace is on the verge of widespread panic! How can you suggest something like that now you idiot!" Said an older grey stallion across from him. " Whoah cool it night sky, we've handled stuff like this before, remember?" "Oh yeah Blade, the princesses have been banished to the arctic before!" " We can't just sit here though. We need some pony to do Celestia and Luna's job. Ponies love and need the daylight. The last time I saw the sun was two months ago! Me and everyone else is sick of it!" " Our government and economy are in ruins! We need to stay here and keep the system and populace in check!" " And have Free come smash it again? No thanks!" " He does make a good point." Said a lighter tan stallion in back. " Shut up Golden honor!" Night sky had no idea why he was so riled up all of a sudden. He then looked at his flank showing stars on a night sky. Night was his element! Was he being so controversial because he wanted the night to last? No, even he was sick of no sun by now. What could he do to get every pony to agree with him? A smile then came to his face as he said. " Our government and economy are in pieces, and the sun will not raise. But no matter what they say, they can chase alicorns until they become one! But this is my home! When I was little it gave to me, I don't know about you but this seems like the perfect time to give back to the city!" Suddenly a roar of approval came from the crowd, and the decision was made. While Blade and Golden honor went alicorn hunting, every pony else would stay back and rebuild the economy and government in an attempt to make things better.  Since alicorns don't grow on trees it would be hard. But Blade and golden honor were determined to succeed. " If I was an alicorn where would I live?" Blade muttered to himself. " Someplace high with lots of magic?" Golden honor guessed. "You're a genius!" "I am?" "No an alicorn would go exactly to a place like that. So they headed to the nearest fitting location, The mountain of mysticim. "Look for a home or anywhere an alicorn could hide." Though they felt like they were doing something morbid, they trudged on through the rocky trails and caverns. "I don't think we're getting anywhere with this Blaaaaaaaade! I see it!" "What!" "Fortress with the royal symbol on it! That'd be a best spot as any for our search!" "I'm marking it on our map! Tomorrow we might do it! Together, we can do anything! While the mountain was now a place if adventure and excitement, the Capitol was the exact opposite. The situation was flaring out of control. The riot control and covert ops were all there in an attempt to calm the populace. But at no prevail. The citizens were furious two ponies were looking for another alicorn. To them the entire government should be. "What can I do!" Night sky said. "The populace will not give up and we have exhausted our recourses." "Sir said a nearby guard, should we initiate code 22F3Y? " "Yes" Night sky said reluctantly. In present times this is a code which controls the populace by force. Also initiating a safeties off for all guards. Giving them the right to forcibly calm ponies down. As he had feared this enraged the populace even more and subsequently gave Free a message from above to act. In the Canterlot plaza Free gave a speech that opposed the order and told the civilians to fight back. But a rat in their midst alerted the guard and they arrived and beat them on the spot. Then orders were employed to amputate horn or wings and remove one eye, This was used to handicap them and show them what they've done with a now "pure" eye. The situation at Canterlot was terrible, better at the mountain and worse in another location soon to be described. She knew this. Atop a mountain in a stronghold a mare watched from her domain. She was knowing. And she knew what she was going to do about it.
