Got what was coming to Equestria
It was dark in Canterlot castle as Luna and her nighttime guard patroled the castle. While doing this a pink pegasus mare with Lunar Guard armor was busy reading about Equestria's past laws that were put into effect over the past millennium. Captain Passion Silverstreak had heard about this so called ‘taboo law’ where members of family cannot breed with other members of the same family. Upon hearing about the Element of Honesty bred with her brother and lost the foal infuriated Passion to looking up this law.
Princess Luna walked into her bedroom seeing her guard captain haunched over the desk and sighed. “Passion” Luna said “why don't you get some rest and keep working tomorrow? You need your rest to effectively run my guard.”
Passion gave a stern glare to the blue alicorn which made her flinch. “No” Passion said “what happened to Applejack and Big Macintosh was enough for me to look into this. What those two witnessed was a crime on itself. But I did find that this so called law…...is fake.”
Luna looked at the pink pegasi with surprise at what she said. She looked over and Passions shoulder and saw a bill drafted by her sister Celestia that focused on the taboo law. “The records show that the law was drafted a few decades ago got one vote by Celestia. The rest voted no on this law and dropped it. But I did find old records of the inmates and found that the names matched the ones of the ponies who voted no. Your sister made a fake law and enforced it by herself. That alone is multiple felonies against Equestrian law and more documents showed she did this to more laws than this!”
Luna was shocked, all of what she has read shows her sister was at fault here. Passion then grabbed her saddlebags and put all the fake laws and bills into it. “I am presenting this to the media and Celestia herself tomorrow. I've been right all this time about this. I just wished” Luna noticed tears forming in Passions eyes “I could've done this sooner.”
The night princess wrapped a wing around her captain and embraced her in a warm hug. “I know the pain of losing family hurts you a lot Passion. You and your brother would've had a wonderful foal that would've done great things. I just wish I was back from the moon before what happened to both of them.” Luna said as Passion cried into her chest.
The next morning Celestia was enjoying her morning cake when she spotted an article in the local newspaper. She spat out her food when she read the headline of the day:
Princess Celestia making fake laws to hurt her subjects.
Celestia read the title over and over in her head. ‘Who found the documents?!’ she thought as she read the article.
It has been found that Princess Celestia, ruler of Equestria and Princess of the sun, has been for the past one thousand years since her sisters exile that she has been forging unlawful laws including the Equestrian Taboo Law. It has been confirmed that cause of this Celestia is held responsible for over millions of ponies deaths, unborn and born alike.
A national trial is going to be planned for Celestia to be held accountable for her crimes against Equestrian society and for Princess Luna to be crowned the new ruler of Equestria.
Also related Princess Twilight Sparkle has told the truth about acting on the fake law to the Apple family and will have her mark as Princess and Element of Harmony removed for this.
As soon as she finished reading dozens of Royal and Lunar guards walked in and surrounded Celestia. Captain's Shining Armor and Passion walked up to Celestia and placed hoofcuffs on her forelegs. “Princess Celestia “ Shining said “You are under arrest for multiple crimes against Equestrian society and for the multiple murders of foals including the deaths of Captain Silverstreaks child and brother.” Celestia then was escorted to the dungeons to await her trial.
A few days later
Twilight sat in disgust with herself inside her bedroom. Ever since Passion showed her what Celestia had done she started regretting everything she did to Applejack and Big Mac. She killed their foal, removed both their abilities to breed, had them practically shunned by the community, and most of all made them watch her kill their child.
When Starlight and Spike found out about this they sent their apologies to the Apple family and left Twilight to stay with Trixie. Twilight's parents were sickened to the point of her mother saying she was no longer her daughter. Cadence and Shining Armor cut all ties to Ponyville and refused Twilight to return to the Crystal Empire and never to see Flurry Heart. And to top it all off her friends all agreed to not let her anywhere near them anymore as Rarity and Rainbow Dash revealed they had incestuous bonds with their family.
She then got up and walked to her window looking into town. She saw the passersby quietly walking not talking to anypony about the revealing facts of what Celestia did. All the town was in shock at the revealing and all were regretful for what they have done to not only Applejack but to some of the other ponies in town.
Sweet Apple Acres
Applejack and Big Macintosh were working by themselves in the orchard silently. When the truth came out about the taboo law everypony was stricken with regret about what happened. Some of the doctors tried their best to repair their reproductive organs but were only able to repair most of Applejack while Mac had a new pair of testicles put on to help him try to be reproductive again.
Applebloom stood a distance away and sighed. When she found out in class that the law was fake she was filled with regret that she practically killed her possible niece or nephew. Granny Smith couldn't help get Applebloom out of her current problems and gave up helping her granddaughter. Suddenly a hoof touched her shoulder and she saw it was Passion. She let her through and watched the pegasus walk towards her siblings.
“Hello Applejack. Big Macintosh” Passion said with sympathy “how are you two holding up?” They both looked at her and tried to give the best smile they could give.
“We’s are trying to cope with what has been happening. It's been tough but the doctors said we could be able to breed again soon. Right Mac?”
“Eyup.”
Passion sighed “I feel your pain you two. When I was younger me and my brother Van had a……… intimate relationship with each other. Unfortunately somepony revealed our secret and we both were eventually strapped to tables as well. We both watched as they removed and killed my foal. My brother fought against his restraints to stop them but then they……” tears started to form “they…...killed him. Slit his throat and stabbed his heart. But they also did this to me.”
She turned around and lifted her tail to reveal a sight that shocked both apples. Passions vagina was scarred, torn in places, and showed old burn marks. “They wanted to make sure I would never be able to breed ever again. Anything I do with it hurts like Tartarus. I just wish I could hold my child like a mother should.” Passion then broke down and cried in front of them. Mac and Applejack then walked up and hugged the mare showing their support to Passion and knowing they all felt the same pain.
A much needed talk amongst others
A much needed talk amongst others
Weeks have passed since the truth about Celestia enforcing fake laws and Equestria is still trying to recover. Throughout the weeks Princess Luna was made the new ruler of Equestria and has tried to restore peace to the land. Almost all the citizens of Equestria have been coming to Canterlot to either see if their family history contained some reports of Incest in their family or to come and mock Celestia, who had her reproductive organs removed and sent to a torture chamber to be punished weekly.
Luna meanwhile was busy comforting her guard captain Passion. Since taking control Passion has been having nightmares of reliving the day her foal and brother were killed in front of her. Luna had seen the dream before and been trying to help her have more peaceful dreams but has been to busy lately to help her.
Passion was shivering and sweating in her bed while Luna draped her wings around Passion and embraced her to calm her. Passion then suddenly awoke and cried into Luna's chest. “Same nightmare again Passion?” Luna said which was responded with a nod from the pegasus. “I'm sorry I'm not there to help you. I can see that the cost of saving millions of ponies is for you not to sleep at night.”
Passion eventually calmed herself and sat whimpering into Luna's fur until she found the strength to break the embrace. Luna looked into Passions red, tear filled eyes and sighed “we need to gather the ones who were affected the most from this. I'll send letters out to the Apple family and Twilight Sparkle. I'll also get in touch with the Crystal Empire and see if Cadence and Shining Armor can come by and help.”
The next morning Luna wrote and sent out letters to the specific ponies and had the servants and maids set up a room for all of them to sit in. After lunch Cadence and Shining Armor arrived with Flurry Heart sleeping softly on Shining's back. Luna and Passion greeted the couple and guided them to the room then waited shortly after to see Applejack and Big Mac arrive with a depressed Applebloom following behind them.
Applebloom still couldn't handle that everything she knew about Equestrian laws were lies and that she was responsible for the death of her siblings foal. She still remembered what happened to cause this.
“Applebloom!” Applejack gasped, “This ain’t… well it is what it looks like but let me explain.”
“That foal is…!” Applebloom looked more sick from thinking about it, putting a hoof on her muzzle, “Applejack! Yer askin’ me ta lie!”
“No!” Applejack rationalized, “Just… don’t say anythang is all.”
“You told me that was lyin’ by omission!” Applebloom shot back, and she was right. “This is gross! I’m tellin’ Twilight!”
“Wait!” Applejack sighed, “At least let us go with you and explain.”
“I don’t even want to be around you!” screamed Applebloom before running toward Ponyville.
The thought alone made Applebloom sick in her stomach. She never knew Twilight would go so far as to kill a foal and damage her siblings ability to breed. At first she thought she did the right thing until Passion arrived to her school and told everypony the truth.
Ever since then Applebloom barely done her chores around the farm, never spent time with her friends, barely eats anything and never comes out of her room unless necessary. She never talks to her siblings or Granny Smith, who gave up helping her, about anything. Soon Luna and Passion guided them into the room where Shining and Cadence were playing with Flurry. Applebloom looked away due to anything resembling a foal reminded her of what she did.
Shortly after Twilight arrived to the castle slowly walking and had a sadden, blank expression on her face. After learning the truth almost everypony shunned Twilight since she was the one who did the operations on Mac and AJ and killed her foal right in front of them.
“I want you to get a good look at this,” Twilight scolded, sounding like an angry teacher, “YOU forced me to take this action with your disgusting crime. Make sure to tell Celestia that you understand that when you write your letters to her.”
With that Twilight’s magic crushed the little one’s head. It let out a yelp even through its clenched muzzle, convulsing violently as its skull gave and brain oozed out between the broken shards, ending its life before it had begun. Twilight glared at them as she did this, her expression so hateful that one would have thought they were personally doing this themselves. And as far as Twilight was concerned, they were.
“Burn this image into your mind,” Twilight said, “Remember it every time you are tempted.” Twilight dropped it into a bag, then tossed it into the biohazard bin like the waste it was, “And do not forget. If you are caught doing this again, we take everything that’s left, shaft and tunnel.”
Twilight hated herself ever since doing what she did, the fact she did that and then talked to them like nothing happened was enough for Twilight to lose herself. She lost her friends, family, and mentor because she followed rules and thought it was right. Since then Twilight never leaves the castle, even when the rest of the mane six tried to talk to her. She knew they would never forgive her and shut them out.
But it wasn't enough for Twilight to try and cope. Therapy never worked for her, all of Ponyville hated her, she even tried committed suicide so much that Luna had a guard ordered to watch her so she wouldn't kill herself. She was beyond the point of a shattered mind, she just was a emotionless, dark, depressed mare.
Luna greeted Twilight only for her to walk past in silence. The blue alicorn saw that Twilight's coat was matted and dark grey, her mane looked like it was never brushed for years, her body was so thin to the point Luna could see her ribcage a d ordered a maid to bring Twilight food. Twilight's face showed no expression and her voice was so monotone she would beat Maud in a monotone contest.
Twilight walked into the room to see the Apples and her brother and sister in law, who immediately grabbed Flurry and held her close. Shining cautiously waved a hoof at his little sister “h-hey Twily.” Twilight stood motionless in which caused Shining to get nervous. “Twily?” Shining said again.
Twilight looked her glossy gray eyes to the her brother “Hello Shining Armor. How is Twilight Velvet and Night Light doing? Oh and how is your wife Princess Cadence and daughter Princess Flurry Heart?”
The way she said that alone was enough for Shining and everypony else to look at her in shock. Passion then spoke up to the group as Luna left “Thank you all for coming on Princess Luna's behalf. Twilight can you please sit down” in which she sat in a lone chair away from everypony else.
Passion had a bat pony unicorn stand by her in case she tried to kill herself again. “What happened to Twilight?” Cadence said with a hint of worry.
“The truth was so traumatizing to her that her mind broke. All normal treatments didn't help and she had no family support due to someponies shunning her and isolating her from her family.” Passion said as Cadence and Shining nervously rubbed the back of their necks.
“We……..probably might of been to harsh….” Cadence said. Passion gave her a angry glare “To harsh?! You cut off her very existence! Do you know how many times we had to stop her from suicide attempts?!” the last part made Cadences eyes widen and her face instantly go to grief.
“Now we are here to now discuss all that has happened in the past weeks since the incident with Applejack and Big Macintosh. Luna said it will help us deal with what has happened. Now who would like to go first to speak?” Passion said.
Shortly afterwards Applebloom raised her hoof to talk. “Am really sorry Applejack and Big Mac. When I found you two that day I was so……. disgusted at what yous were doing that I didn't think of what ma actions would've done. I never knew Twilight would do what she did to ya and for awhile I thought what she did was the right thing.”
“But…… when mis Passion told everypony the truth I couldn't live with the fact I killed one of ma kin. That's why I shut yall out cause I couldn't live with seein yall trying to fix all of what I did. If I just listened to ya that day we wouldn't be apart and I would've had a niece or nephew around the farm to play with.” Applebloom then started crying in which AJ and Mac hugged her.
“It's okay sugarcube” Applejack said “you didn't know better and thought you did what was right. Even Mac and I thought what we did was wrong until Passion set us straight. Plus …… yous gonna have kin by harvest time. Mac and I were able to have another again.” Appleblooms eyes open wide as she placed her head on her sister's belly, only to feel the softest kick.
Applebloom then hugged her siblings harder and cried more. “A’ll be a good auntie I promise.” Applebloom said which made AJ chuckle. “Ah know you will sugarcube. Right Mac?”
“Eyup.”
Passion smiled at the wonderful sight at the siblings being reunited. She quickly glanced over at Twilight, who was trying to use her magic to grab a curtain rope to make a noose while the guard held her back with his magic. “I think you two are next” Passion said pointing to Shining and Cadence “you can talk about this as well.”
The couple looked at each other then Cadence talked. “When we heard about what Twilight did we knew that what she did was wrong. Incest or not killing a foal and harming the parents is something nopony should ever do. We sent that letter to Twilight and told her parents about what she did, who were shocked as well, and stopped trade with Ponyville.”
Shining then spoke up “When I heard from you that the laws were fake Passion, I sent a letter to Cadence back home and to my parents. I explained we didn't know Celestia told her to do what she did and that she had no idea that the taboo law was fake. But when we tried to fix this it was already too late as we can see with my sister. At the time we thought she was a foal murderer but then saw she was mainly a mistreated filly from the start and had no clue to what she did.”
Passion nodded at what she was hearing “Well do you two know what to do now?”
Cadence and Shining nodded. “Twilight Sparkle” Cadence said “as of now all ties to Ponyville are restored and anything me and my husband have said to your family and friends we apologize for. We will send our explanations to the element bearers and your parents and hope to see this resolved. We will also take care of any therapy treatments and care for you until you are a healthy alicorn again. We will also restore you title as Princess of Friendship and Element of Magic.”
Passion looked at Twilight who sat with a wide eyed look. The once purple alicorn looked at the ponies waiting for her response, which none came. Passion then decided to tell her biggest secret and fear to everypony.
“I guess I can tell my story then to everypony since we're talking. When I started out in the guard I had a relationship with my older brother Vanderhoof. At first it was just a brother sister friendship but slowly escalated to a romantic relationship. Soon though after a night of intimacy I discovered I was pregnant with his foal. Only one other guard knew about this and she blackmailed me to do her work or she would tell.”
“ For the months ahead I was able to do both my job and hers but as the foal grew it got difficult. Eventually she got fired for not doing work and told Celestia the truth about what has been happening. She had me and my brother chained to operating tables and she was the head of the operation. I remember the pain of her slowly cutting me open and tearing my womb and ovaries. She then pulled out the foal, a wonderful light purple pegasus, and dropped it head first on the floor.”
“I watched in horror as she stepped over her crying body and slammed her hoof down on my baby's head. My brother went into a fit of rage and tried breaking out of the restraints. The doctors couldn't get him to stop so Celestia grabbed a scalpel and stabbed him in his eye. He screamed and thrashed against the table trying to get free. She then said that he was a lost cause and stabbed him in his heart with a knife she had.”
“I watched him fall back on the table with blood coming out of his mouth and eye. He was still alive when Celestia grabbed a red hot whip with a spiked end and repeatedly hit my vagina painfully. She said she wanted to make sure I would never have foals and that I'm a worthless pony. Eventually she and the doctor's left and my brother died watching me be beaten. He used to always be there for me growing up and he must of knew how it felt not to help……..”
Passion then started crying hard only to feel someponys hooves wrap around her. She saw that Twilight got out of her spot and hugged her. “I never knew that Celestia would do that” Twilight said with emotion in her voice “all my life I looked up to her and she just used me to her advantage. I trusted her and look where that got us. I am so sorry for what she did to your family.”
She then turned to face the Apple family. “Applejack, Big Macintosh, Applebloom, I am terribly sorry for what I did to your family. If it was possible I would change everything I did just so you could have your foal again. I understand if you'll never forgive me and if the girls won't either.”
Applejack then walked up and hugged Twilight “Ah forgive ya Twi. You didn't know at the time.” Applejack said as Twilight hugged her back.
Soon everypony shared a group hug and went on their separate ways home. In the following weeks that passed everypony in Ponyville forgave Twilight since she was at fault like they were. The Apple family had a party to celebrate AJ and Mac for another child, which would be a filly named Twilights Passion after the two mares who they were friends with. Passion was able to get surgery and therapy for her marehood and reproductive organs thanks to Princess Luna and hopes to have a foal sometime in the future.
Meanwhile during the festivities down in the deepest part of the castle dungeons sat the former Princess Celestia. All her regal jewelry and crown were gone and she sat chained in a dark damp cell. The sounds of Luna's hoofsteps echoed through the hall as she walked to her sister's cell. She looked in at her sister who's scar along her stomach and abdomen where her reproductive organs were destroyed was still visible.
Celestia looked at Luna through the bars of the doors small window and said nothing. Ever since the truth was revealed she was turned back into her original earth pony form and locked in the dungeon to sit until she would be able to be forgiven. As a precaution Luna had Celestias voice muted as her torture was to be placed in special chambers that gave her sister excruciating pain.
Here Celestia sat with hooks through her skin and razor wire wrapped around her legs so if she moved it would cause as much pain as possible. The two sister's looked at each other for awhile until Celestia looked away and Luna left. Celestia knew it was all her fault from the start and she accepted her punishment knowing that Equestria would be better without her rule.
