Escaping from Celestia

Celestia's Punishment

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Six hours had passed and it was time for Princess Luna to lower the moon and raise the sun, a lowering and raising that was filled with a great amount of sadness. She knew that this would be the last time she did this with her sister still with her. She knew by the end of the day that Celestia would be gone and she would be ruling Equestria all by herself.

While she was out handling the celestial bodies, Radiant Hope figured she would go and talk to Celestia alone since she was the only one who hadn't communicated with her that much. When she approached the cage she had a smile on her face, "You ready for your big day princess? You ready for your punishment?"

Celestia gave her a glare and grunted, "Whatever, I'm sure that despite me never wronging you, you're just loving this."

Radiant returned the glare, "I'm going to tell you something, something that I've been waiting over a thousand years to tell you." Her voice became more sad as she continued, "As you know, I was not happy when you banished my only friend into the ice of the arctic north." She saw Celestia's glare deepen as she continued, "You banished my only friend to the ice and you know what, I was working on him. I was talking to him and had you simply allowed me a few more hours, he would have freed those crystal ponies and left the Empire forever. He was going to do that for me but then you and your sister had to come along and ruin everything. You made him mad, made him change his mind and took my only friend away from me. That is why I hate you so much."

Celestia replied, "Look, what he was doing was wrong and...."

Radiant continued, "And I knew about that forest in the south, I knew how dark and foreboding it was and I remember you talking one time about how dark places scared you. That is why I chose that place to run off to and apparently all your proteges knew too because they fled down there, chose to reside with me and thanks to that crystal, we were granted life spans longer than any regular pony, far longer."

Celestia said, "Well....."

Radiant cut her off, "And I just don't get how you could be so obsessed with sex that you would do what you did to 217 proteges, every single one of them! There were 216 that you got away with sexually assaulting but it was # 217 that led to your downfall. Your doing that to Twilight Sparkle was the biggest mistake you ever made because she is the strongest willed mare I have ever met. Yes she was horribly distraught when she first came to me but it was a mix of her hate for you along with your sister finding out about your crimes that led to this." She then began to laugh, "Had you simply stopped this prior to your sister's return from the moon, nopony would have ever found out about this." Her laugh got louder, "It is kind of odd really, you banished her for a thousand years but now you're going to limbo for all eternity! Karma's a bitch isn't it?"

The words that Radiant said to her tore at the very fabric of Celestia's heart. She knew that Radiant was right, she knew that it was her doing to Twilight what she did with Luna present that led to this moment. She realized that she shouldn't have thought she could get away with it and given that Luna was close with Twilight, she realized that what she did was all the dumber.

She began to sob quietly and rather than glorifying it with a response, Radiant headed back towards those who captured Celestia. They heard what she had said to Celestia and Twilight commented, "You're right, it was her doing that to me that led to her downfall." She sighed in frustration, "It just sucks that she did that to so many before me."

Sunset replied, "I know, she truly is the most amoral pony to have ever existed if you ask me."

Moonlight added, "If only Glimmering Starlight could have done something to her so long ago, there wouldn't be so many of us who suffered so much trauma at her hooves."

Radiant finished, "I know but soon we will have our own nation and be vindicated. She will be trapped in limbo and fall into psychological despair, knowing that she will never see the light of day again."


Not long after their brief discussion Luna returned. She said, "Well with my duties out of the way, shall we have our breakfast?"

The four nodded in unison and they had the traditional Canterlot breakfast, four eggs, five slices of hay bacon, pancakes and a large amount of cider. They were able to eat it just fine but there was one who could not, Celestia. With her legs broke and her horn broke off, she couldn't eat. She yelled, "Luna, how am I supposed to eat? My horn is broke and my legs are broke."

Luna went over to the cage she was in and began to feed Celestia like one would a foal. Twilight and her friends couldn't help but snicker over the scene. Sunset snickered, "My oh my, the high and mighty Celestia is having to be fed like a foal!"

Twilight added, "Oh how miss high and mighty has fallen. She goes from raising and lowering the sun to having to be fed like a newborn."

Moonlight and Radiant were snickering over what was happening as well. They could hear Luna sighing in frustration and weren't sure if it was because of their reaction to it or her having to feed her sister. Once Celestia was done being fed, Luna returned to the table and sighed in frustration. She glared at the four and grunted, "I know you four find this funny but still, she is my sister and to make matters worse, she won't heal in limbo, she'll be in pain for all eternity."

Moonlight snapped, "Well she deserves it after everything she has done to us, to over 200 of us."

Twilight added, "Sex crimes are the worst Luna, the absolute worst and the punishments for them need to be the worst."

Luna snapped, "Murder is worse than......"

Sunset interrupted, "At least with murder the victim is dead. Victims of sex crimes continue to suffer the psychological trauma of what was done to them."

Radiant finished, "You're only saying that because she is your sister."

It was a few minutes after eight when White Wings, Celestia's top royal guard arrived in the throne room and saw the horrid state Celestia was in. It did bother him a lot but what bothered him more was whether or not the accusations against her was true. He approached the cage and asked, "Princess Celestia, are the accusations true? Have you really been sexually assaulting your proteges for over a thousand years?"

Celestia knew that White Wings had always looked up to her and respected her so this was so hard for her to answer. She held her head low and sighed, "It is true White Wings, I'm guilty."

White Wings did believe Luna when she told him about it but to hear it from Celestia herself made it all the harder for him to take the news lightly. He became very sad, "Your Majesty, I never once imagined that you would do this to your proteges. I always wondered what you did with your proteges when you took them out to your old castle for a week and then they never returned but I never knew you did that to them." He then developed a scowl on his face and added, "As far as I am concerned now, you are nothing more than a cancer upon this world, a cancer that must be removed."

He then turned towards Luna and asked, "So when do you plan on punishing her for what she did?"

Luna replied, "As soon as possible. Go out and notify as much of the city as you can. Whether they're all there or not, the banishment ceremony shall take place at noon."

White Wings said, "Yes your Majesty."

White Wings left the dining hall to go out and notify as much of the city as he could. As he was doing this he thought about how this was the last thing that he though he would ever have to do. For so long he thought of Celestia as an honorable pony who always had Equestria's best interests in mind but no longer, he now knew that she was a tyrant that needed to be locked away for all eternity.


When it was thirty minutes before noon White Wings returned to the dining hall and said, "Your Majesty, a good portion of the city is gathered outside."

Radiant replied, "Good." She turned to Luna and said, "You need to go and get those Elements of Harmony so you can banish her because if you don't, she's going back with us and you know what will happen next."

Luna screamed, "I know, Twilight will kill her."

Luna headed to Canterlot Tower to retrieve the Elements while Radiant and the rest of her delegation stood there glaring at Celestia, wanting to make her as uncomfortable as possible. Before Luna returned, she screamed, "Stop it, stop it, stop it! Stop glaring at me!"

Once Luna returned with the Elements, Radiant got a huge smile on her face. She exclaimed, "Oh good, you're back! Now we can get this taken care of and celebrate!"

Luna snapped, "This is nothing to celebrate. I'm losing my sister and you're gaining territory, this is a dark day for Equestria."

Radiant pointed her hoof towards the exit and ordered, "Let's do this Luna." Luna seemed hesitant causing Radiant to add, "Remember, we had a deal."

Once they had all got out on the balcony, the whole crowd gasped in shock when they saw Celestia in the state she was, locked up in a cage. Luna pulled Celestia up to the edge of the balcony where Radiant ordered, "Address them, tell them of your crimes."

Celestia faced the crowd and began, "Hi everypony, I'm sure you are wondering why I am addressing you today and why I am in this cage. Well you see, it wasn't long after Luna was banished to the moon that I opened up my school for gifted unicorns and would have proteges, proteges in the unicorns that I felt were the most promising to one day rule alongside me. Well it was with my very first one and every one after that that I would take out to my old castle and force myself on them, I would cast love spells on them, make them drink my juices and mark them with my juices, mark them as mine."

The crowd gasped in shock before beginning to boo her and call her a tyrant. The crowd would soon begin to call for her head and she began to sob loudly. Radiant smacked her and ordered, "Tell them the rest, they must know."

Celestia continued, "You see, it is just a matter of that I found them hot, I wanted to ultimately form a harem and impregnate them. I thought that if I could force them to love me, I could accomplish that objective."

Again the crowd began to boo and call for her head before she was wheeled back and Radiant Hope approached the balcony. The crowd went quiet as she began, "First let me introduce myself, my name is Queen Radiant Hope and I rule the southern forest here in Equestria, which will soon become the nation of Unicornia upon her banishment as was part of an agreement with Princess Luna for the terms of the release of her sister after she was caught in our territory in an attempt to capture one of our citizens and bring her back here so that she could take her out to her old castle and molest her some more and once again try to force her to love her."

The whole city suddenly went so silent that one could hear a pin drop. She stopped for a moment before continuing, "Regarding the injuries, her horn was broken off when three of our scouts captured her and in a struggle, she was slammed face first into a tree. The broke legs were a result of our scouts simply doing what they are trained to do when a hostile invader is captured. The broken wing is from her escape attempt in my palace and the burn marks came from unicorns that she had assaulted getting revenge." She heard a few angry yells from the crowd before adding, "Listen, what you must understand is that she came for us, she wanted to hunt down one of those who escaped from her and bring her back here to make her suffer more."

Radiant stepped back and motioned for Twilight to head to the balcony. Twilight began, "Hi everypony, my name is Twilight Sparkle...."

A male voice in the crowd yelled, "Your mom and I love you sweet pea!"

Twilight smiled, "Hi dad!" She paused before continuing, "Anyway, like I said, I am Twilight Sparkle and I am the most recent of the tyrant's victims." While she didn't feel like having to go over this again and again, she felt like if she went into full detail, she could get the city to understand why Celestia had to be punished.

"Regarding her, the reason that she must be punished is because she did to me what she did to over two hundred others over the past thousand years. What she did was she hauled me out to her old castle, held me close and forced me to read smutty novels with her for four days. On the fifth day, she forced herself on me, *becomes angry* forced me into a kiss and then declared me as her wife. She then forced me to drink her vaginal juices and then rubbed herself all over me, marking me as her territory! You have no idea how pathetic that made me feel. It made me feel like a trashy whore, it made me feel like nothing more than a piece of meat. Is that the kind of pony you want running the country?"

Twilight stepped back and Sunset and Moonlight approached the balcony. Sunset added, "My name is Sunset Shimmer and she did the same thing to me."

Moonlight finished, "My name is Moonlight Tulip and she hauled me out to that shithole castle and did the same thing to me. *screams loudly* If you ask me, she must be locked away where she will never harm anypony again. Who is with me?"

The whole city began to cheer after hearing Moonlight's question. They then began to chant, "Lock her up, lock her up, lock her up!"

Luna then approached the balcony and began, "Citizens of Equestria, what my sister has done has brought a great amount of shame and disgrace upon not just the royal family, but all of Equestria. The crimes she has committed are among the most despicable that anypony can commit and because of that, I have only one option. I have decided that she must be banished into limbo for all eternity to protect other mares in the magic school here."

Luna then took the Elements of Harmony and used their power coupled with her own magic to tear a hole in the fabric of space and time. Twilight then removed her from the cage and held her up near the tear. She screamed, "You know what you tyrant, this is what you deserve but I have one final gift for you!"

She then fired a powerful bolt of energy at Celestia, striking her and she began to scream in agony. Sunset and Moonlight then did the same thing before Radiant also got in on the action. The four would stop once they heard Celestia's cries becoming quieter. When they stopped, Celestia had been burned black for the most part.

Twilight was still holding Celestia there, who had now had her mane and tail burned off. She decided to give Celestia one final address, "You know what, at one time you were loved by all. At one time everypony loved you and respected you but now, everypony hates your bucking guts, everypony! Whenever your name is mentioned from now on, all anypony will think of is a pathetic teacher who sexually assaulted her proteges. Well good riddance bitch, good riddance!"

Twilight then threw Celestia into limbo before Luna sewed the tear shut. Some ponies stood there in a state of shock while others were cheering. The ones that were cheering the loudest though were Twilight's parents. Radiant looked down to the crowd and asked, "Twilight, who are those two unicorns who are cheering so loud?"

Twilight gave her a smile, "Those are my parents! Oh what I wouldn't give to see them!"

Radiant suggested, "Well you should go down and see them. We're not going anywhere any time soon!"

Twilight suggested, "Hey, how about you, Moonlight and Sunset join me! I'm sure they'd love to meet you."

Radiant replied, "I'd love to meet them, I'd love to meet the two ponies who raised such a strong willed mare, the one that was responsible for that tyrant getting punished."

Moonlight added, "I'd like to meet them as well."

Sunset finished, "I would too."

Luna overheard this and said, "Well while you four are meeting with her parents, I will wait for you at the train station so that I can take you back to an area close to Unicornia."

Twilight asked, "Are you going to study that forestation spell for us because I have a feeling you have to cast it from above?"

Luna sighed, "Yes Twilight, I will study that for you."

The four thanked her and headed down towards the courtyard. It had been years since Twilight had seen her parents and she could hardly wait to spend some time with them and introduce her to those that she considers sisters.
