Meeting A Former Tyrant

Crystal Empire

Travis was playing video games in the castle of the Crystal Empire and was sitting on the throne while doing so until a magical light appeared. The one in the light was Starlight Glimmer. Starlight Glimmer approached Travis until a centaur stopped her and the centaur said, "Hold it right there intruder, only citizens that have permission or have a reservation can approach Lord Travis!"

Travis then paused his game and looked at the situation that was unfolding. He then said in a tone that you could tell he didn't care about anything that was going on, "Let her in, I think I might know who she is and I might know why she is here too."

"Of course Lord Travis. You have permission to enter citizen." said the centaur and after he said this, he allowed Starlight Glimmer to pass.

Starlight Glimmer then walked up to Travis and asked, "Are you the one who killed my mentor's brother, sister, and niece?"

"I don't know, maybe. You might want to tell me the name of your mentor so I can know for sure." answered Travis.

"Her name is Twilight Sparkle." said Starlight.

Travis then thought, "I knew it, she must be Starlight Glimmer. Maybe I can get her to join me but if she doesn't, she'll end up like all the rest who defy me." He then said, "Yes I did kill those relatives of her's, why do you ask?"

"I want to know why you did it?" said Starlight.

"Oh come on, you of all people should know by now, I'm going to take over the world and I need all of the other rulers to be dead so my plan can work. Besides, didn't you have the same goal as me once?" said Travis.

"I'm nothing like you, you murderous tyrant!" yelled Starlight.

"Oh really, weren't you one yourself. Talk about a hypocrite." said Travis.

"Back then I just wanted everypony to be equal but I used the wrong methods and I learned from my mistakes. Why not do the same thing I did and learn from your mistakes too, It's not too late to change. After this, do you want to just give up on the world conquering thing and come to Ponyville with me?" said Starlight as she reached out with a hoof to try to shake Travis's hand.

"Sure, I'll change. I'll even go to Ponyville with you." said Travis as he walked down from his throne and shook her hoof.

"Thank you. You don't know how happy this makes me to have a new friend." said Starlight and she also had a big smile on her face.

Then Travis squeezed Starlight's hoof and yanked her up. He then slammed her on the ground and Starlight said, "Why are you doing this, I thought you changed?"

"I'll change when I'm dead." said Travis before he pulled out his revolver and shot a bullet into Starlight's brain. She then layed on the ground dead with blood and brain matter around her corpse. Then Travis said, "Well, that was easy, time to get back to my game." He then sat back on his throne and played his game. Travis then thought, "Shit, I forgot to try to convince her to join me. Oh well, I don't think she would have been much use to me anyway." He then resumed his game.

Ponyville

Twilight Sparkle and the rest of her friends were watching a projection that she made in the Friendship Council main room. This projection is apparently a spell that allowed everyone who watched the projection to see what was going on in the eyes of the pony that was on the other end of the projection spell. Twilight then said, "Alright girls-"

"And guys!" interrupted Connor.

"Of course Connor, I would never forget about you and Spike." said Twilight.

"Of course you wouldn't." replied Connor and Spike at the same time.

"Jinx!" yelled Connor.

"Oh come on!" shouted Spike

"Cut it out you two!" yelled Twilight.

"What are we doing here anyway egghead, did you have something to show us?" said Rainbow Dash.

"Yes Rainbow, I have something to show all of you, I sent Starlight Glimmer to talk to Travis and hopefully get him to surrender peacefully. I also put a monitoring spell on her so we can see everything she sees and hear everything she hears because I don't trust Travis." said Twilight.

Everyone then had shocked expressions and yelled, "Why?!"

"Because I think even the most evil person can change, I admit I have extreme hatred towards Travis for killing my brother, my sister-in-law, and my niece but Princess Celestia said to at least give him a chance to surrender peacefully." said Twilight.

"Hate to break it to you Sparkles but my bro doesn't really surrender." said Connor.

"Why not?" asked Twilight.

"It's kind of like what he goes by. When he starts something, he'll try to finish it and he won't stop until he does." answered Connor.

"I wish you could of told me sooner!" yelled Twilight.

"Well excuse me princess but you didn't really inform me of your plan, so how the fuck should I know to tell you that my bro doesn't surrender?" said Connor.

"Enough outta' both of ya, let's just watch what's goin' on in that there projector." said Applejack.

"I agree with Applejack, let's see what Ms. Glimmer is up to." said Rarity.

"I don't mind seeing it either, I mean if it's okay with all of you." said Fluttershy.

"Yay, movies!" shouted Pinkie Pie as she pulled out popcorn out of her mane

"I think I'll watch too, I don't have anything better to do at the moment." said Rainbow Dash.

"If everyone else is watching it, I might as well watch it too." said Spike.

"I'll see how this plays out. Haven't seen my bro ever since I got here." said Connor.

"Alright then, let's watch." said Twilight.

When Twilight and her friends saw the centaur scene, Connor said, "That didn't last long." Then everyone else said, "Shhh."

They then heard what Travis had to say about the situation and Connor said, "Yup, definitely Travis when you catch him the mood when he simply doesn't care about anything."

"He doesn't seem too bad." said Fluttershy.

"He killed my brother, sister, and niece! Why would you think he's not that bad?" said Twilight.

"Eeep." said Fluttershy as she hid behind her mane.

"Ouch, that's pretty low Sparkles." said Connor.

"I know your mad Twilight but don't scare poor Fluttershy." said Rarity.

"Yeah, what's the big idea." said Rainbow Dash.

"Sorry guys, I'm still mad at Travis." said Twilight.

"Yup, Travis is the expert in getting people mad."

"We forgive ya Two but you should apologize to Fluttershy."

"I'm sorry Fluttershy." said Twilight.

"I know Twilight, I forgive you." said Fluttershy as she got out from behind her mane.

"Hate to interrupt but Starlight is talking to my brother." said Connor and then everyone paid attention to the projection again.

Everyone then heard Starlight say, "I'm nothing like you, you murderous tyrant."

Then Connor said, "Whoa, feisty one isn't she."

"I don't understand, why would she said that?" said Twilight.

"If you didn't hear earlier, Travis said that she was just like him." said Connor.

"That no good varmint." said Applejack.

"Shhh, I think I hear Travis talking." said Connor.

They then saw Travis shaking Starlight's hoof and Applejack said, "I got a bad feeling about this."

"My Pinkie sense is going off and I think someone bad is going to happen."

"Oh no." said Twilight.

They then saw Travis shoot Starlight in the head. When they saw this, they all began to cry except for Connor. Then Connor said, "Travis you son of a bitch, you can't go one day without killing someone can you?"

"That's it, I'm telling Celestia that my plan failed and Starlight is dead." said Twilight trying to hold back tears.

"That varmit, she trusted him and he killed her. Is he really your brother Connor?" said Applejack.

"Sadly yes, he's always been cruel and it looks like Starlight experienced that first hand." said Connor.

"That uncouth and cold monster!" shouted Rarity.

"Your brother is cruel and sick, Connor." said Rainbow Dash.

Pinkie's mane was deflated and said, "That meanie killed our friend." She then began to cry more and Fluttershy was still crying.

"Well, looks like when we strike the Crystal Empire, I'll enjoy making Travis suffer for what he's done." said Connor.

"But he's your brother." said Applejack.

Then Connor said, "Not anymore." He then walked out of the council room. Tomorrow, the Friendship Council planned on arranging a funeral.
