-Princess Castle-

Everypony was quiet. On the way back, and all the way to their rooms. Fluttershy was the only one that could've been heard making muffled sobs and sniffling. Luna collapsed on her bed and covered her face with a pillow. Soon after, Luna started crying and wondered what in equestria were those creatures. She was intrigued but at the same time frightened of them. 'Is that what attacked the humans?' she thought. Luna decided felt tired and just wanted to sleep. Even after sleeping most of the day. "I've never been this tired in my whole life" she said to herself out loud. 'Am I forgetting something? Oh right the raising of the moon.' the young princess thought, well she's over a millenium but she was trapped in the moon for a long time. The only effective way of not aging. Remember that ladies.

Luna stood up from her bed, but saw herself stumbling towards her balcony. Luna did her usual routine of raising the moon. After bringing the night, she noticed something was off. 'Strange, sister is always there to watch the night come.' Luna wanted to see why, but remembered about the incident they had. Luna slowly walked back into her room and once more, collapsed on her bed. Before she knew it, she blacked out.

Twilight obviously wasnt prepared for this type of situation. Not even one that was like this. Her mind was racing with questions like what do they want? Are they naturally violent? Who's their master? Do they take showers? Those type of questions. Soon, she ran into the door of the room the mane 6 were given. Her face still hurt after power walking her way back. While Twilight was bursting with questions and wanting answers, the other five were trying to analyze what exactly went down. Except for Fluttershy who was holding onto an annoyed looking Rainbow pegasus. Pinkie, who was always so happy and trying to make everypony smile was actually sad. The only way her friends knew, was because her mane was flat and her skin was less pink.

Applejack on the other hoof, was thinking to herself like she did when they arrived earlier. AJ wished the creatures were peace makers and acted the way they did for a reason. 'There always has to be a reason' she thought. Rarity did not know what to think, since she never had been in this type of situation before. She just sat there thinking about grabbing her fainting couch out of nowhere and just over dramatically fainting.

===============================================================================

Celestia was sitting in her room in the darkness with a blank look on her face. 'I failed.' She thought. Celestia felt like she failed at protecting her subjects. Not only was she sad, but was disappointed in her self at just watching without moving. 'Lulu was right.' A single tear came down on her cheek and soon fell onto her bed then one started becoming a lot more tears pouring out of her eyes.

"The elements. My sister. Could have all died all cause I did nothing but stare in awe." Tears to sobbing a whole lot. Celestia was a train wreck. 'Stop crying you dumb bitch.' The voice came back. Or should I say voices. Celestia could not believe the language she was hearing from... where exactly? Was she tripping? 'Thats better. Now that you stopped crying like a-'

"Don't swear please just no more vulgar language like that word." She plead the mysterious voice. She found a book back at the library 'Fine but listen up. From here on out, you will be listening to me.' It said. Celestia strangely felt obliged to listen and obey. She did just that and nodded as if the voice was in the room, somewhere in one of the dark corners. And as if it was right there with her physically, it started talking again. In her head obviously. Anyways, it started talking once more. 'This is whats going to happen. You are going to go back to Manehattan with your sister and those elements. That's when you will go out in the ocean by boat and-' it was cut off by Celestias protests.

"First off, why would I listen to you and second, why by boat? Why not by a chariot like last time." She finished. 'Because... fine by chariot but anyways, after that, I will take full control and we will take over." It said. You know what, from now on, it will be him.

"Wait why am I even listening to you? I'm getting out of here." She said. 'Like hell you are.' Mid way to the door, Celestias head started hurting as if she was struck by a sledgehammer. She soon fell on the ground at the mercy of the voice who somehow caused her pain. It was only seconds of pain but it felt like minutes to the princess. Seeing no way out and not wanting to suffer another agonizing head ache-like pain, she went back to her bed and lied there. 'As I was saying before, we will take over and rule the world. Like the old saying goes, when life gives you lemons, you take those lemons aaannndd...' He waited for her to finish but did not get a response.

".." The mysterious man or disembodied voice mentally face palmed. I forgot they were ponies. And it seems logic is a superpower here. he thought. 'It has a k in it.' Then it hit Celestia what he meant. She agreed what he said and had a strong feeling grow inside her at a rapid pace. The disembodied voice or whatever it/he was felt like she knew what he wanted to do. As if on cue, she stood up on all fours and ran towards the door. 'Thats my girl' the man said.

"Now I know what you want me to do." She said in a grave tone. If you could see this man physically, you could tell he had an evil grin as big as the grinches grin.

"You want me..to...eat some cake!" Her tone went from serious to cheerfulness in one go. 'Yes.. Wait what?!'

"I just noticed how hungry I am. I'm going to go eat some cake. Thank you for reminding me of my favorite food!" Celestia then happily trotted out of her room towards her door. 'Oh no you don't' the disembodied man tried to make her have the cluster headaches again but noticed something wasn't right. 'Why isn't it working anymore?!' He growled. 'God, you ponies are more dumber than the-'

He was cut off by Celestia who was thinking about the many cakes she wanted. Her mouth started salivating on her way towards the dining hall. Celestia was soon cut off of her little day dream when she ran into somepony.

"Hi there princess" and that some pony needed up being her very own faithful student.

"Hello Twilight" she said in a cheerful tone. Which was a bad time considering what they just went through.

"You seem to be in a good mood princess." Twilight was on her like a moth to a lamp or light.

"I'm going to eat cake right now. Would like to join me?" And as quickly as her suspicion came, it was gone at the mention of cake. 'How can she eat cake so much?' The younger alicorn thought.

Discord heard them talking and decided to go ask them about their little adventure in Manehattan. A good dose of chaos is always good for the system. Always.
