All hail the queen

As Celestia and Luna paced the floor, Shining Armor and the Element bearers worked on calming everyone done. " Shhhh, it's fine. It's all alright." When every pony had stopped screaming and were sitting in groups, they faced the sisters.

" What are we gonna do?" Asked Rarity. " She obviously does not want any of us around, and probably has taken over ponyville by now. I feel like any attempt we made right now would just instigate things."

Celestia gave a heavy sighed and stared at the ground. " For now, we must make sure there are no spies she may have left in our midst before we can start planning. And only then can we start trying to earn her forgiveness."

With heavy hearts, the girls nodded and walked amongst the other ponies, making sure no one was hurt and everyone was alright.

Celestia watched and rubbed her head with her hooves, a massive headache starting to form. ' Ok Celestia, what to do, what to do?' As she was thinking, a guard in gold armor came up and took off his helmet. " Your highness, I have a report on the Ponyville situation."

She nodded. " Report then. I need some kind of news, even if it's bad news."

" Its been over run by Twilight Sparkle and her horde, with any one who was able to get out has currently holed up in town hall as well as Sweet Apple acres. There is a couple of ponies are keeping them safe but we expect that they will be over run in a matter of a day if not hours." He paused. " They are also building fortifications and what seems like a castle in the middle of the town." He raised a hoof to his head. " Princess, what are your orders?"

She sighed heavily and said " Nothing for now. If we move too quickly we will run the risk of agitating her and with how unstable Twiloght is right now, i dont wanna take that chance. Order the guard to check for changlings among us, and do a internal sweep of the guard. I want no spies here to report to her."

He saluted once again and trotted off to carry out her orders. Turning to see Luna slowly come up to her she asked " How are Cadance and Shining Armor doing?"

" Not well I'm afraid. Cadance has locked herself in her room, screaming about how we are all Changling illusions and Shining Armor can't levitate a feather without a massive spike of pain."

She paused. " And Spike?"

" Curled up in a corner. He refuses to move and waves off any attempts to console him." Luna sighed. " Even at her darkest, I never thought that Sparkle would abandon her son."

Celestia trotted forward slightly, enough to where she could see Ponyville if she tried hard enough. " I do not believe Twilight is in full control, or in her right mind. The amount of dark magic surging through her veins should have killed her or turned her into some sort of foul demon, yet she hasn't changed into one." She hums to herself, trying to remember if something similar had happened in the past.

" What about Sombra sister?"

" No, his power was strong but he mainly used mind games and clever techniques, not just using a brute force method as Twilight did."

" So, sister, what is out plan now?"

" Make sure no changlings were left behind then try to get her to leave Ponyville peacefully. After that, try to be the mentor she used to think I was." She sighs and chuckles today. " I've bungled thus all up quite nicely, havn't I Luna?"

Luna trotted over and placed a leg on her withers. " It is not entirely your fault Tia, it's Chrysalis's fault for starting this whole issue in the first place." She started to all away. " Now come, we must do damage control before the lovely vultures we call nobles can twist this in their favor." She flapped her wings and took to the sky,heading to town square.

With a sway of her head, Celestia followed her, trusting the others to be able to take care of cleaning up.

Thorax groaned as his stomach rumbled. ' Maybe I should have waited till k could steal some rations BEFORE I decided to escape.' He swayed his head from side to side and saw a little puffy tail in some bushes. ' Well, it's going to taste nasty, but beggars can't be choosers, right?' He slowly walked over to the tail whispering " hey little buddy, I'm not gonna hurt you. I just wanna hug you a little. Bunnies like hugs, right?"

A foot suddenly launched into his face, knocking him into his back. " Oowwww! Get back here!" He chased after the bunny, hunger making him desperate.

He chased him through thorny bush and pony eating vine plants. ' Man, I really hope someone clears out those fly plants. They could have eaten me!' Just as he came into a clearing, he saw the bunny surrounded by birds and other critters, all with makeshift spears and weapons. He gulped and gave an awkward laugh, trying to back away. As he stepped away, he bumped into a furry mass, looking up to see a bear with its lips pulled back and teeth bared.

With a yelp, he was picked up and tied by the squirrels. With a nervous chuckle he said " Now guys, surely we can talk this out." The bear smacked his head and all he saw was stars.
