The town ponies marched up to the cottage and followed Sugar Belle’s strange plan. One of the ponies went inside and found an excuse to Ben inside while the rest of the town also went into the cottage, demanding something random. Suddenly, a dark blue Pegasus with a white mane flew and poured buckets of water of Rainbow, Starlight, and the alicorn. They began to shout insults to themselves, not caring that they were shouting to the beings with special talents and that they lost their own.

Sugar Belle’s voice rose above the others, “We want our cutie marks!”

Starlight gulped before raising a hoof, making everypony quiet, “Rainbow and I will hear your complaints one by one. Sugar Belle, you can come first. Rainbow, please go and clear the storm. I don’t think that’s getting this place flooded is a really good idea.” Rainbow nodded before clearing the weather in 5 seconds flat. She returned to the cottage and sat down with Starlight, dismissing the other ponies.

Sugar Belle looked at them, “It’s unfair that only you have your cutie marks out of them all.”

Starlight looked down, “We didn’t want to tell all of you, but since the secret is out... The staff won’t take out the cutie marks of anypony that is a leader or co leader. As for this alicorn, she had just arrived. I expect you to make her feel welcome and to introduce her to the other ponies.” Sugar looked at them with narrowed eyes before introducing herself to the princess’s and walking out with her.

Rainbow sighed in relief, “That was close.”

“Really close.”

“Look on the bright side, we don’t need to pretend to not have cutie marks anymore.” Starlight chuckled softly before nodding.

She said, “We know that the borders are failing, unfortunately. If they allowed a Princess Luna in, one of the most respected pony in Equestrian, then we know that something I should wrong. If there’s a Princess, it would be hard to decide who controls the village. Also, alicorns are immortal, besides in battle, but this town is for peace and we don’t need a tyrant for the next million years.” Rainbow knew that Starlight was talented in speeches, and could twist words to sound great, even at somepony’s funeral.

Rainbow retorted, “Or ponies will find how right we are and will all give up their cutie marks.”

Starlight sighed, “Not everyone is qualified to leave and getting their cutie marks back could be hard. The staff story is a lie, as I have mentioned to you once or twice.”

“Actually, I think of just kind of figured that part out.”

“Just think what would happen if a princess agreed to our cause. Any suggestions on how?”

“Hmmm... Well, if I was a unicorn, I would first take away her cutie mark so she’s useless in many aspects. Then, I would mind control her subtly. You know, kind of like the changeling who controlled Twilight’s brother.”

“Who’s Twilight?” There were a hundred things that’s Raknbow could brag and feel the sympathy of a friend. She could’ve made the whole town feel sorry, by the looks of it.

Instead, Rainbow said, “No pony important.”

“Okay then. I think you’re plan if extremely flawed. You know that Princess Luna’s magical ability is greater than mind, therefore I can’t control her and I can’t vouch for her that she won’t teleport away once she finds out the truth about this place.”

“Whatever, book worm. Let’s just go back and you can formulate a plan.”

“What will you do then?” Starlight expected a very basic and lazy answer from Rainbow, since her first week’s excuse was that she had to take a nap.

Rainbow replied, “I will go around and make sure that everyone is happy, and hand out a schedule of the weather for this week, that I will control.”

Starlight looked up Rainbow and studied her intently, “Who are you and where I should the real Rainbow Dash?” They laughed before going to their opposite ways. No pony noticed a pair of blue eyes following them.

A prison was what this place truly contained, Luna knew. She was an eavesdropper and always a successful one. At first, Luna’s head spunk thinking about all the lies they dared tell her, but in their situation, she would’ve done the exact same thing. She began walking back to the cottage before a bright yellow, magical aura wrapped around her and made her teleport to another location.

She looked up to meet her sister’s eyes, “Celestia?”

Celestia looked at her with pity in her eyes, “It is night time Luna. I will sit here as you do the ritual.”

“How did you find me?”

She chuckled, “Luna, I know that you would’ve attempted to escape so I had secretly cast a spell on you, making you teleport at midnight.” Luna gritted her teeth before turning back to the grave.

Luna sighed before saying, “Any last words you want to say?”

“No. I don’t want to provoke you again.”

Luna turned to the 5 graves that were dug in a circle. She flew into the inside of the circle.

She chanted, “Aweop de weiop, yo quen pose adecocé. Do re me fa so para dewera.” Would began to appear and blurry images started to form. Luna felt her own soul starting to slip out.

She continued to use her magic, “Para usetuma sa fa nakewasada.” Luna knew that the words were easy, but each word made her weaker and weaker.

At the end of the spell, Luna was half dead, “Una we, we una.” Luna collapsed after the Mane 5 each formed a solid body. Celestia looked at her sister in pity, but took the 5 unconscious yet alive ponies into her palace. She couldn’t wait until they woke up. She also believed that she’s found Rainbow Dash. She looked at the sky to see dark shadows heading towards the palace and teleported to the soldiers rooms.

Celestia shouted, “The griffins are coming!”
