Another Theft Successful In The Canterlot Treasury!

Celestia Promises To Fund More On Its National Gaurds

"This is the seventh time this month!" Twilight Sparkle exclaimed as she walks with Spike to their home, exhausted after filing in the papers, "Maybe we should suggest something that no pony has ever done before!"

"Become part of the national guards?" Spike sarcastically says, "You're filling up our free days!".

Twilight giggles to the statement, "Of course not, we're going to set up a parliamentary!"

It was unthinkable, adding a new political system to help with current issues is a lot of paperwork, fortunately for Twilight, she could work it out. With her idea sounding very useful, she quickly ran the opposite direction of their house, rather to the Canterlot Castle, where they would eventually meet the two princesses. During their tiring run to the castle, they passed by a few small protests in Canterlot City, they couldn't hear what the ponies were protesting about, but they're signs were large enough to be read at least many yards away:

We want Socialism!

You want a better military?! Get a better fascist!

Raise your taxes!

The two finally reached the entrance to Celestia's throne, which surprisingly was heavily militarized by the guards, one guard even stopped them at the hoof of the door and asked "Where are your papers?"

Twilight was confused and instead defended her rights, "Excuse me? I am a princess, did Celestia or Luna ever needed to bring papers?"

The guard sighed and opened the doors to the throne room, finding an argument between many, many groups. Twilight caught one common word every pony was hearing, "Money". She barged in through the tight spaces that were left just to find Celestia, which they did.

In Celestia's relief, she said, "Twilight! Thank goodness you're here. I need to clear out these ponies as quick as I can. Can you help me?"

Twilight was surprised into hearing that Celestia needed help..... Again. Twilight calmed the three groups down settled them into each space of the throne room equally, it was hard, they kept 'accidentally' pushing their hooves to Twilight just to shout their expression, she was glad it wasn't that severe. With the three groups organized, Twilight instantly went to Celestia and Luna to suggest something.

"I just thought of something that could easily stop the thefts in your treasury!"

"Force every pony to join the military?" Luna guessed.

"Change curfew of guards to 24 hours?" Celestia suggested.

"Implement a parliamentary system!" Twilight said happily.

The two major princesses whispered to themselves about it. Will it solve our current issue? Can it dissolve our other problems? They decided.

"Gather a representative of every creature there is, a discussion will be made" Celestia announced to all the three groups, with Twilight both happy and confused. Happy that there will finally be a solution to the current situation, and confused with the other problems they say. In satisfaction of the agreement, she finally went home.

.....

It's been a few days after the intense situation, still no word from the princesses, nor anyone else regarding of it. Twilight went outside and found a newspaper at her door. Yes, newspapers always tell the news, let's see what's here.

Daily News

Parliamentary decides on holding elections, will it cause more troubles or solve them?

Twilight was surprised, "I expected every creature to protect our treasury! Not vote on who else can do it!". She continued reading the newspaper

Today, inside the Kingdom of Canterlot, every creature from all across Equestria decide to hold up democratic elections as monarchs. The elections don't choose a prime minister, though, they're finding out who could be the president of Canterlot.

" It's absurd! They're breaking their own royal tradition as monarchs! If we have democrats as our leader, who knows how many disasters will occur!" Says one pony from Ponyville.

Since the parliamentary contains creatures from all across Equestria, there have been socialist, fascist, and democratic uprises in numerous amounts of locations, like the Crystal Empire, Everfree Forest (Apparently animals can protest too), and Ponyville.

Ponyville? Twilight quickly went to the town square to find any sort of protest, apparently there was, between the democrats and the fascists. What's even more shocking is that Applejack and Rarity are leading both of the opposites. Twilight ran over to Rarity asking "What's going on? I thought you and Applejack were friends!".

Rarity answered, "We were friends until Ms. Democrat here tried to criticize absolute stunning business as 'Heap of wild ol' fascist shops'."

"That does not sound like Applejack..." Twilight thought to herself, though how she used the words do seem like her, so she figured to go ask Applejack.

Before Twilight can even raise her mouth for questioning, Applejack answered, "I know what you're going to ask, and Rarity decided to fashion up my whole farm as a revenge to my simple and honest statement!".

If it was just a simple pony to pony problem, Twilight can easily solve that, but a group to group problem with each group having the population of half a village will be a bit more difficult to fix. All Twilight can do now is wait and see who will become the next leader of Equestria.

During her patience of the next leader, she might already have a clue of who the next leading ideology will be through the news...

Chapter 2: Sphere Of Influence

After reading the Daily News, Twilight was stunned by the winning pony. A democrat would have been easy to negotiate with, but a fascist? Their greed for expanding territory and the new laws limiting the freedom of civilians would be hard to settle with. "Maybe this pony dictator is not as bad as the historical dictators", Twilight said to try to free herself from the anxiety of an incoming war. She figured she should appoint a meeting with the new leader to discuss about his future plans in advanced. So she grabbed her quill and paper to write the message. Now, what was his name again......?

Dear Fasces Pride,

I, Twilight Sparkle, Princess of Friendship, would like to congratulate you on your succession of becoming the first ever pony dictator of Equestria! What I want to discuss with you will be held in your throne room, it will be hosted privately so no pony can panic from what will happen too early. Hoping for you to accept this message, f it's not a civil right issue, of course.

Twilight gave it to Spike as she rolled up the message and tied it with a red ribbon. A few hours after Spike delivered the message. Ponies hardly knock on the door, somehow in a very friendly way. Twilight opened the door and see two national guards, heavily armored than the last regime.

"The autocrat has accept your request, it was a hard time for him to decide, as the new law states that 'Only compliments and major issues can be messaged to the autocrat'. He chose to agree because your message contained a compliment and you're an alicorn" The guard said. Twilight does not know what to feel: Accepted or Offended. The guard then said, "We will now escort you to the castle, walking alone is too risky, we have not eliminated all the rights for the press conference yet". Twilight was confused at first, but it finally made sense as they walk through the one side of Ponyville, also known as the Ponyville Empire.

Twilight asked one of the guards, "Can you at least give me information regarding the recent happenings of this village?"

The other guard answered, "The front side of your castle are where the corrupt democrats, currently named the Republic Of Ponyville, and ruled by your soon-to-be-former friend, Applejack". Will there be a war soon?, Twilight thought to herself. The guard continued, "You probably already know name of the other side, the Ponyville Empire, what you don't know is that this side is ruled by Rarity. More information, she currently has a mission to give democratic-like clothing to her spies and find out any corrupt evidence in the Republic of Ponyville and show said evidence to the democrats. So in short, she's trying to start a revolution". Twilight started to feel uncomfortable with the content of what the guard had just said, soon-to-be-former friend, she's trying to start a revolution. Twilight also noticed that a wall has been built between the two sides, at least....... 50 feet in height.

They are now in Canterlot City, almost there to the leader. Instead of the normal sights of running businesses and fashion ponies, Twilight sees, what? Princess Celestia and Princess Luna are leading a massive army, both land and air. "Call them generals from now on" The guard said. They finally reached the entrance to the castle, with tables filled with massive planning battles and working officers. Twilight opened the door and finally see the autocrat they talk about, Fasces Pride.

He commanded his officers immediately, "Leave the room. Give us 10 minutes in private, don't worry, I am safe". The ranking ponies started walking out of the throne room, leaving him and Twilight.

"Good afternoon, princess. As I understand, you want to discuss about something. I hope it's urgent, I wasted precious time just to talk to you." Fasces Pride said in a serious manner.

Twilight answered, "Well, as a big fan of your chosen ideology. I want granted knowledge of your goals in advance. I do have more rights than citizens as a princess, right?"

Fasces replied, "Your position gives you access to lead an army and to start your own nation, but not full knowledge of my plans, though I can certainly give you the general ones". Twilight thought to herself, 'What if I can use the military to revolt against the state? It would be impossible, I am inside a fascist area right now! The guards are pure nationalists.'. "First general plan, as you may have seen in the Daily News, I would spread influence to Ponyville and the Everfree Forest. Second, I would make an alliance with the two nations. Last but not certainly the least, eliminate the 'communists'."

"I don't see any socialist states so far." Twilight said.

Fasces sighed and said, "You really must read the Daily News..." He gave Twilight three newspapers, the first one dates a few days ago:

Daily News

Socialist Movements Rapidly Increase Over Three Locations. Blames The Revolutionary Canterlot Party

After the inauguration of Fasces Pride and his party, the National Authoritarian Equestrian Worker's Party, the socialists feared that Fasces might ban socialism in his country, therefore putting the socialists to extinct. So they started spreading propaganda to the Crystal Empire, Castle of The Two Sisters, and the Wonderbolts.

The press had an interview with said socialists, they answered, "These fascists do not know how to control a failing economy, they'll make it even worse! We decided that if we show our opponents how a real economy is controlled, they'll be inspired to use our socialist tactics."

Twilight then reads the second newspaper, which dates yesterday:

Daily News

Revolutions Start To Happen In Numerous Locations

Socialist Propaganda increased qualitatively that ponies abroad do not prefer the current ruling ideology anymore. The Crystal Empire, more specifically Princess Cadance and Shining Armor, have refused to stand down to a 'minor opposition'. It gets different in the Wonderbolts, however. Some ponies are not obeying orders demanded by hierarchies anymore, instead, they trash buildings. Spitfire has no choice but to cancel training and use full force to resist the occupations. What surprises us the most is that the abandoned Castle of The Two Sisters is currently having a renovation by volunteers of the Socialist party.

It is unknown who will be the leading pony in these locations, but political theorists suggest that ponies who dedicate into saving Equestria would be either forced or volunteered to lead a nation.

She now reads the last newspaper, which dates today:

Daily News

New States Are Born Under Both Fascist And Socialist Rule

The revolution was intense, the coercion was frightening, no violence was reported, happy to say, though the new ideologies have ran over almost all the hierarchies in Equestria. Starting with the Crystal Empire, or should we say, the Socialist Crystal Republic (SCR), Shining Armor is now the only pony in rule of the whole land, the status of Princess Cadance is unknown, conspiracy theorists say that she plans a revolution to bring back the monarchy. In the Wonderbolts, the revolution was too strong to go against the members of the staff, and now, the Wonderbolt Commune has full control with, surprisingly, Rainbow Dash as the leader of said nation. The friend of Rainbow Dash, Scootaloo, stated that she had zero percent interest in politics. Our only guess so far is that she wanted to prove her awesomeness by ruling something. The last socialist uprise locates at the Castle of The Two Sisters, which was shortened to Communist Two Sisters. Unexpectedly, Pinkie Pie is in rule of the area, she says that socialism is an easy process of making ponies happy, because of that message, a few ponies from fascist and democratic states have moved to the newly renovated castle.

From the fascist influences, only one location has been affected to turn into a nation, which is the Everfree Forest, now called the Everfree Opposition. Can you guess who it might be? If you guessed Fluttershy, you are correct! Ponies claim to have seen animals from all across Equestria to have gone into the forest after its declaration as a nation. Fluttershy announces to the ponies that if they ever harm areas where they have their independence guaranteed by the state and/or hurts even a tiny little ant, war will occur.

Peace activists and literary poets have started to begin all around Equestria with their main concern of no war, just peace. We hope that these activists do their best to prevent wars that are to happen.

Twilight was shocked at the news she missed, no wonder why she couldn't find her friends, they were in secret political meetings, also shocked that her friends were even interested in politics at all, the newspaper did say ponies who dedicate into saving Equestria. Fasces said, "We can stop this disaster from happening all across this realm, I can already see an opportunity in front of my eyes". Twilight has butterflies in her stomach, she could just magic her way out of this meeting, but that would make her a criminal, besides, violence isn't her thing. Fasces asked, "How would you feel if you could be my diplomat between the fascist states and the socialist and democratic states? There is a slight modification of your job, though. While you take a break from improving relations with the opposing ideologies, I need you to get as much information as possible and send it to me."

Twilight answered with a little resistance to the offer, "What if I don't?"

Fasces replied, "Oh, it's very simple, I can easily fix that complication..."

Twilight's resistance is no longer there, if she says no, those powerful guards can do something really bad.

So she responded to the offer.

Chapter 3: Open Door Policy

"I'm very glad you accepted the job", Fasces said with a concentrated smile on his face, as if he had already brainwashed all of the alicorns. "You don't look too serious to be a diplomat, you need to be like one they have fear of. I'll personally guide you to the Ponyville Empire, my guards are too busy with our..... projects."

Twilight answered with a fright, thinking that he might jail her, "Y- you don't have to follow me, I can take care of myself."

Fasces insisted, "I just know that the press have a hidden base somewhere on my territory, if you go out there alone without any protection from the authority, they'll flash your face to the newspaper!"

The both of them went outside of the castle and walked their way to the Ponyville Empire. While on the way, Twilight noticed some unlikely events that are happening all around her: The guards stay close to the few immigrants (Changelings and Yaks) that are here for the tourism, every time we walked past a citizen that happens to be outside, they say, "To the autocrat!" with one of their hooves up in the air. Twilight wondered, 'Isn't there a pony I know during my history class that has the same greeting to a leader like that?'. She tried her best to remember, but she lost the momentum when she caught a machine within her eye range. Looks like a flying mechanical device with a camera on top so ponies can see in that perspective.

As they reached the Ponyville Empire, Twilight sees the ponies from the Ponyville Empire being thrown by apples on the other side of the wall, the ponies quickly retaliated by throwing clothes at them, not sure how that will help slow down the democrats, must be Rarity's idea.

They reached a new shop that was built a few days after the separation of the village, it appears to be a tailor shop. The two walked inside the massive structure and was merely blinded by the shine of the floor and the walls. The ponies who worked in the shop realized that their leader had entered, so they quickly raised their hoof and said "To the autocrat!" to Fasces.

One pony came to him and asked nervously, "What do you want that satisfies you, my autocrat? The clothes over here were just delivered today".

Fasces replied, "Do you have any suit that looks like this?" He showed the tailor the photo of some pony.

The pony rushed to the clothes to find something just like it. They were looking for something with only a tiny attractiveness, but a serious looking kind of suit.

Found it! The pony showed it to Fasces. He compared the suit to what it looks like in the photo, he responded, "It is 90% accurate to what I see here, should be good enough. Now, give the suit to this diplomat here, she will be doing a few tasks abroad soon."

The tailor gave the suit to Twilight. She went to the fitting room and wore on the suit. As soon as she came out, she looked like one of the five star generals in a book. Fasces payed for the suit and thanked the ponies for it as they soon left.

Twilight questioned out of curiosity, "Aren't diplomats supposed to have business-looking suits?"

Fasces answered, "As I said, you need to look serious, so that way we can have an above average reputation."

Twilight still wonders the photo that Fasces had shown to the pony to get the suit accurately similar, "May I see the photo you were holding?"

"I'm glad you asked, he is the main reason why I entered into politics", Fasces said as he shows Twilight a very familiar creature. For some shocking reason, Fasces has a photo of a human! This human is bald, a very militaristic looking attire, and an axe bundled by rods were in the background of the photo. "Since you are a very intelligent pony, I assume you know this political figure?"

Twilight answered, "As I read from the world history books on Earth, he is Benito Mussolini, the very first fascist dictator in Europe."

"Correct indeed. I'm quite surprised you know human history." Fasces said.

Twilight stuttered, still in the shock, "But... How did you-.... Did you-?"

Fasces laughed at the look of Twilight's worrying face, "I forgot to tell you. I was a real thief back when I was a filly, not the kind of thief that completely takes everything, the kind of one where the thief returns the stolen property after he has no interest of it. I heard a rumor from my friends that a magical mirror has been spotted being transferred from the Crystal Empire to your home. I wanted to know whether that rumor was true or not, apparently it was. Of course, as a very curious pony myself, I just had to go through."

Twilight made a little joke just to remove her fear, "I bet you had a hard time standing on two legs?"

Fasces said, "Indeed I was, but I eventually got used to adapt the environment that has changed right before my eyes. Anyways, there was a giant-looking castle in front of me. As I entered in, I accidentally bumped into one of the organisms, after I apologized to him, the photo fell from his pocket without notice. I picked the photo up and tried to look for a nearby library for research, took me at least 15 minutes to finally find it. After a quick scan of the few reference books, I started to like that guy. That was the time I stole a few political books and went home."

Twilight questioned Fasces about the accident, "What did the guy look like? Describe everything, he could be a dangerous person."

"Hmm... His skin was very white, an outfit that looks like a soldier, and a short red armband with a decorated cross." Fasces answered.

The two ponies reached back to the throne room after the incredible knowledge that she has gained. From then, Fasces gave Twilight her first task, "Time to activate your mission. First destination places in the Wonderbolt Commune, I believe that their stability has a very low percentage due to their repairing of the buildings they trashed, such fools... I also believe that Rainbow Dash may fully accept any sharing of yours because of your relational status over the course of years, so I expect that the meetings to improve political perspective go very well."

Twilight gave respect to the mission, "Thank you, Fasces."

"You are now dismissed", Fasces said. "Oh, and beware of the press conference..."

As soon as Twilight walked of Canterlot, the moment she sees no guard at all, cameras flash her from the bushes. She quickly ran to said bush, but found nothing. Suddenly, a newspaper cam out of thin air. The paper had already contained the recent photo of Twilight:

Daily News

Fasces Declares The Open Door Policy

Fasces, the fascist dictator of the Canterlot Reich, implemented a policy to openly trade resources that they require and to improve diplomatic discussions to socialist nations to lessen the chance of war. He said to the press, "We modified this policy in a way that any influence that goes to us will be strictly secured so that it does not spread to the innocent fascists."

Relating to the topic of improving diplomatic discussions, Fasces has sent the nation's first ever Canterlot ambassador, Twilight Sparkle, to do the job. With the fact that she is socially friends with the many leaders that are currently ruling the nation, the meetings are hoped to stay calm and not aggressive, at least not too aggressive to start justifying why they want war.

Twilight does not know if Fasces secretly works for the press or they are just really sneaky on where they want to hide.

Chapter 4: Persuasion Than Propaganda

Twilight began her duty as she walks out of the military-filled country, she feels like as if the soldiers guarding the territory would be a normal thing to see when you first wake from your bed. Her first location is at the Wonderbolt Commune, she still could not imagine what a country would look like with Rainbow Dash ruling it.

She reached the under of the floating nation and started to use her wings to energetically fly all the way to the entrance. While on the way, she took a glimpse of the Republic of Ponyville, surprisingly, it was not as bad as the guards say. The houses looked more modern, a new school has been built at the side of the farm, and many ponies went to the fields to knock the trees and collect the apples, both exercising their military and for collecting resources.

Twilight reached the borders of the Commune, a very tall cement wall surrounded the entire state, and only one archway that makes the entrance and the exit, meaning the leader can easily open and close it at anytime. She was stopped by the guards who were sent to protect the archway from illegal immigrants.

One of the guards asked, "Where is your required pass?"

"Uhh.... I'm for diplomatic relations?", Twilight answered with confusion, 'I bet Rainbow Dash made an awesome pass, only exclusive to locals'.

The guard got out a walkie talkie from his uniform pocket, by the way, looking very aggressive. He contacted the familiar voiced pegasus, "We got an ambassador here from.....?", the guard placed his eyes on Twilight, making it obvious what he wants.

"I'm Twilight Sparkle, ambassador for the Canterlot Reich."

The guard accurately imitated Twilight's statement over the walkie talkie. The voice from the other side of the device quickly stated, "Let her in, we've been expecting her ever since the news came out."

The archway was now free for her to enter in, after which, the guard advised Twilight, "Don't joke around any pony within our lands, they take it too seriously..."

Twilight finally entered in the wide nation, the ponies look very happy, as if nothing was ever wrong. The garbage was now organized and cleaned by the workers, and fillies can be seen soaring through the air as part of their training. Twilight wondered around a bit just to see what has changed ever since the revolution. There were still some buildings under construction, and most buildings being repaired after the trashing, who knew a mass can destroy this much just to change an ideology.

She entered in the heart of the Wonderbolt Commune, the office of where their leader is in. Twilight asked one of the soldiers where she could find the office for foreign relations. The soldier pointed at the location, "This hallway with two lefts and one right, you will see a sign that says so", Twilight thanked the soldier and walked to the room she was ought to be.

As Twilight walked in the long hallway, there are little to no lights that are actually working, she realized that socialists don't really fund that much for electricity, but these are government buildings, the lights should fully work. If these lights do not work, I wonder how the electricity in the civilian buildings are going?

Twilight finally reached to the brown door that held the big meeting she was about to part of. She did not plan any of this to happen, Fasces was eager to get the policy running that Twilight did not have time to prepare herself. So without any prepared notes at all, she opened the door.

The room was filled with all sorts of ponies: The press conference, the soldiers, and the government officials, particularly Rainbow Dash. They were all sitting on their chairs where the giant round table was in. Who knew a diplomatic meeting can be so crowded? As Twilight walked by, she can both see and hear the flashes of the cameras, fearing that she might trip over something and have it released on the newspaper which apparently every pony reads now.

She occupied the one seat that was left reserved for her, there began the conversation between the various ponies, first starting off with Rainbow Dash.

"So, you have a job too, ay? I expected you to be an awesome leader like me! Well, not like me, at second place at best president, maybe, but a diplomat can do", Rainbow stated.

Twilight questioned Rainbow Dash, "What made you interested into entering politics?", the press started to take the whole conversation down into notes.

"Being a leader is an awesome way of telling ponies what to do for yourself. So I figured that if I become president of this place, ponies from all over Equestria would start taking orders from me!"

Looks like the press have their theory correct, it was because Rainbow Dash wanted to prove her awesomeness. The secretary started questioning Twilight, "What can you contribute to our nation that can benefit the both of us with the fact that we are opposing ideologies?"

Twilight could not see who the secretary of Rainbow Dash who questioned her among the giant crowd, she tried raising her head up to see who it was. The question was heard at the left side of the table. She took a peak, it couldn't be the press conference nor the soldiers, they cannot be secretaries. So the only option available was....

Spitfire was still waiting for Twilight to answer her question. With Twilight surprised that she still has a position in the government, she responded, "We can contribute to you a realization that not all different ideologies are always bad. There are very responsible leaders who are currently ruling states. What if a war started because you were too paranoid on others?"

The soldiers and the government officials widened there eyes in surprise. The adviser whispered to Rainbow Dash about something. Rainbow Dash asked Twilight a very complicated question, "How does one fascist, such as you, improve the economy of a nation?"

Twilight thought for a while, if she says bad things about fascism, the socialists will start to doubt them, "Fascists take total control of the economy, meaning we can decide what is best for our ponies, and if it does not work, we can easily adjust it with no complications at all."

Rainbow Dash had to admit the good points she claimed, but she wonders even more, "What if the government thinks that the new modification of the economy is good, but the citizens disagree?"

Twilight defended her ideology, "Citizens must benefit the state, if they don't contribute to the government, and it's the fault of the economy, we can change it. The goal of a fascist is to make sure everyone works to improve the country."

The press took down their final notes, and stomped their hooves on the floor to congratulate Twilight for the successful meeting as both Twilight and Rainbow Dash continued to talk about how excellent their countries are, the effects of cooperation of both fascists and socialists, and more other topics.

After the meeting ended where the room is almost empty, Rainbow Dash walked up to Twilight with gratitude, "You were rocking out there! Maybe not all ponies are enemies..."

Twilight replied, "Thanks, Rainbow Dash, but I have to ask personally. Now that you kind of trust the Canterlot Reich, can you maybe show me the plans that are to be executed when both your economy and infrastructure are repaired?"

"I don't fully trust fascists yet.... But sure! You can see one of my plans", Rainbow Dash decided.

The two ponies walked all the way to the president's office by going back where Twilight came from, and instead took four straights and two rights. This building is incredibly larger than Twilight had thought it would be.

They both entered in the president's office, filled with lots of paperwork to be done, luckily for her, she has her adviser doing all that. Rainbow Dash went to the cabinet and took one file from it and showed it to Twilight:

What To Do List (Not In Order):

1. Improve Economy
2. Repair Buildings
3. Add Aggressive Border Laws
4. Host diplomatic events
5. Sign non-aggression pact with the Socialist Crystal Republic
6. Guarantee independence of Communist Two Sisters

Twilight asked, "Since when did you guarantee the Communist Two Sisters?"

"We kept it secret yesterday, we'll release the news now", Rainbow Dash replied.

With Twilight relieved that nothing bad is about to happen yet with what Rainbow Dash has planned, she still has to fulfill her mission of getting secret information. That would be disloyal of Twilight, especially in front of a pony who has loyalty, but she just had to do it, something inside her brain told her to do it.

Twilight needed to distract Rainbow Dash and her adviser to leave the room, "You know, if you want to get a good reputation from all the other countries, you can start by fixing the electricity inside this glorious building!"

Rainbow Dash realized, "Oh yeah! Thanks for reminding me Twilight. Come on, my loyal adviser, let's go inform our professional electricians of our current issue."

They both went out of the office, leaving Twilight in it. So Twilight quickly searched all the cabinets to find something that looks secret enough. There's a folder that says 'Totally Not A Secret Plan', she took a quick scan too make sure its a legit secret plan. She found the words, attack, revolutionize, and destroy. Sounds like a secret plan, indeed. So Twilight hid the file in her suit, which it fully covers it up with no suspicion at all.

Twilight went out of the massive building and exited the Wonderbolt Commune, the only thing she has to do now to complete her first task is to show the information to Fasces Pride.

Daily News

Wonderbolt Commune And Canterlot Reich Meeting Successful!

Ever since Fasces Pride declared the Open Door Policy in his country and appointed Twilight Sparkle as the ambassador of the Canterlot Reich, he wanted to improve relations with all the different ideological nations, starting with the Wonderbolt Commune. The meeting traded information between the two countries with a little hesitation, but it was nothing the ambassador couldn't handle.

We expect peace to last forever. If this meeting between two opposing ideologies went successful, so can other meetings.

.....

Wonderbolt Commune Guarantees Independence of Communist Two Sisters

Rainbow Dash, leader of the Wonderbolt Commune, wants to protect her friends that share the same ideas and beliefs, the only friend who passes these requirements is Pinkie Pie, leader of the Communist Two Sisters. The two agree that if any pony declares war on Pinkie's nation, Rainbow Dash would help her. They both state that the socialist's great enemy have always been democrats, the fascists on the other hoof seem to be friendly and they pose no threat at all ever since the meeting.

Chapter 5: Attacks And Consequences

Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.

Chapter 6: A Civilian's Perspective

The fear for opposing ideologies grow as multiple nations expand their influence. Rarity and Applejack enlarged their territories, the Wonderbolt Commune will join in wars that the Communist Two Sisters would be part of, speaking of the castle, they recently just coerced the Everfree Opposition to give them the most resourceful land by sanctioning them.

For the bright side, the actual kingdoms, the Canterlot Reich and the Socialist Crystal Republic, have done nothing major so far that can increase the tension of everyone, well, at least in the shoes of a normal pony. Twilight remembers Fasces commanded his officers to look for the press, all because she gave him secret information stolen from the Wonderbolt Commune. Of course, he would be planning something very cruel, but the real question is how cruel?

Twilight walked out of her own castle, now more secured than ever by the national guards the autocrat has sent to defend. It probably won't hold off against most invasions, but this can make the others grab enough fear to not think about raiding it.

As she walks to the Ponyville Empire to check its conditions there, she heard a stampede behind her, and when she looked, it was a group of ponies wearing hats holding cameras and notepads with pencils on their ears. The massive stampede was heading forward to the Canterlot Reich pretty quickly, there must have been some exciting news that Fasces had announced. Twilight doesn't need to head there as well, she could easily see it at the Daily News.

She finally reached the inside of the fascist-filled country. It was more organized than the last time she was there to get her diplomat's suit. The guards kindly escorted families to different locations, nobody complained about economy whatsoever, so Twilight assumed that that problem was solved as well, and there were propaganda posters and graffiti placed all across the tall wall, the ponies who made that vandalism was either severely punished, rehabilitated, or they had the freedom to do so, which sounds unlikely in a fascist state.

Twilight walked nearer to the wall that separated the two countries, minor conflicts were still occurring between the two states, instead, they threw larger apples and we (By we, she means them. Why would Twilight be a part of it?) retaliated by using needles. Now the pain is real, looks like the method of turning the democrats into revolting have failed, no news have appeared of it so far, it could be just because Rarity has not released it to the press yet, like Twilight when she steals secret information from the socialist countries.

Near the wall, a voice can be heard shouting inside the empire. Many ponies started to run to the voice. Twilight described the voice as both familiar and confident, so she decided to check it out as well. As she started moving, it looked like she had no choice as the guards forced the resistant ponies to join the crowd. It could either be the democrats or the monarchs. Not the socialists, they all have probably moved to the Communist Two Sisters.

An almost uncountable amount of ponies gathered in the town square to see Rarity with her prepared speech in a few pieces of paper, like Twilight would have done when she had to do public speaking.

"..... and we will crush the nefarious oppositions that dare rise against both fashion and fascism!", Rarity exclaimed.

Ponies stomped their hooves in gratitude for protection from the authorities against the evil. One pony from the crowd asked Rarity a question. It looks like he has the right to, because he was one of the press conference.

"What are your plans now that you have claimed a democratic city?"

Rarity replied, "It's simple, really. I just have to fill it with clothes that say 'Anti-Democracy' and 'More Fascism'."

They started taking down the notes on every word Rarity has spoken out. It seems that this official event is about inspiring the society to put their faith and hope on the government, distracting them from the major issues, like all other fascist nations.

A few dozen minutes have passed as the speech ended with the citizens going back to their normal, yet controlled, lives, still looking more happier than ever, though nothing can compare to the happiness index of the Communist Two Sisters, there seems to be no resistance at all, despite the poor structuring.

Suddenly, Twilight can here suspicious hoof walking beside her, which led into an alley. The walking just sounded out of the ordinary, which is ironic because it is taking place in an out of the ordinary country, making it even more suspicious! She walked closer to the source of the sound, getting louder and louder each step on the way. Twilight had her mind fearing out, must be a pony who works for a secret soon-to-be revolution, or worse!

Twilight bravely jumped to the alley, with her horn prepared to defend herself, she found a pony with a coat covering its face. With no second to lose, the mysterious pony quickly ran away from Twilight to the darer part of the alley. Twilight, with curiosity, chased the pony in hopes to uncover the plans to overthrow any leaders. She got tired of the running, the covered pony was just too fast, if only there was something that can easily direct her to that pony. Oh, wait....

Twilight used her horn and teleported herself right in front of the pony, blocking its path to its desired location to hide. She raised her hoof reaching the hood that covered the pony, and as soon as she removed it from the pony.

It couldn't be.

The pony was pink, had both wings and a horn, and a crystal heart for a cutie mark. It was her, it was the pony that mysteriously vanished ever since the socialists took over her place. It was Princess Cadance.

Twilight was overjoyed by seeing her face, she might have answers into solving this crisis, "Cadance! I can't believe you're still ali-"

The magic from Cadance's horn sparked towards Twilight, stunning her for a few hours. All Twilight could feel now is being dragged by some pony.
