One month later, beginning of Spring 2122

Manehattan Maximum Security Penitentiary

Darren Jr puts on cologne and looks out of his cell window for a few seconds until his cell door opens and Walter III comes into the room. Darren Jr greets him

"Good morning Unterscharführer."

"Good morning sir. It's time to go."

Darren Jr turns around and looks at Walter, wearing his VP suit.

"How do I look?"

"You look fine sir. How do you feel?"

"Excited. I waited a while. A while of silence. Now at last, the human master race will hear the voice of the man who tried to spread our presence beyond our own galaxy," Darren Jr said, as he grabbed a folder and saluted the Unterscharführer

"Shall we?"

"I'm sorry sir, I'm not allowed to salute you."

"Of course."

Outside of Darren Jr cell, the other inmates were handcuffed to their guards as the Scharführer walked down and gave the order to move them to the trucks and to move them to the Palace of the Supreme Justice.

---oooOoOoOOOoOoOooo---

Daniel Sr and his friend's were making their way to the Palace of the Supreme Justice by armored trucks. As they were approaching the palace, it was surrounded by reporter's and huge crowds of humans and ponies waiting outside the palace entrance.

They soon enter the palace grounds and disembark to enter the palace. Only about a minute after they enter, the armored truck's carrying the war criminals also enter the palace grounds, amidst mass yelling from the crowds.

The criminals soon arrive at the courtroom and took their seats. Daniel and his friend's also enter the courtroom and they gave Darren Jr and his cronies hateful glares. The courtroom was packed with spectators, from humans to ponies.

Meanwhile, the judge's were getting ready to commence the trial. Wil Burstein looked at the judges and gave them a reassuring smile. Soon, the judges enter the room and the noise dies down. Wil soon bangs his gavel and speaks:

"This trial, which is now to begin, is unique in the annals of jurisprudence and history. The defendants, all having been served with copies of the indictments are now to enter their pleas. Darren Medkos Jr."

Darren Jr stands up

"l have a statement which l will now read to the court," he says, but before he can utter a signal word, he is stopped by Wil

"The defendants are not to make a speech. They are only to enter a plea."

Darren Jr looked at Wil and said:

"l declare myself, in the sense of the indictment, nicht schuldig. Not guilty," Darren Jr said as he sat back down.

"Jack Evanston."

"Nyet, Nyet."

"Record that as not guilty. William Jonathan."

"Not Guilty!"

"Mike Bulford."

"Not Guilty!"

"Professor Felhand."

"Not Guilty"

"Hermann Gospel."

"Not Guilty!"

"Mack Canterbury."

"Not Guilty."

"Oberführer Belkin Sunderland."

"Guilty."

Everyone in the courtroom looked at Belkin with shock and surprise. A majority of the defendant's looked at Belkin with hateful glares. The judge then went back to calling out the name's

"Ivan Novák."

"Guilty"

The reaction is the same as before

"Albert Dupont"

"Guilty"

"Joseph Heinwell"

"Not Guilty"

"John Blackstone"

"Not Guilty!"

"Hans Yossef"

"Not Guilty!"

"Daron Ferdinand"

"Not Guilty"

"Walter Wagner"

"Not Guilty"

"William Von Bosworth"

"Not Guilty"

"Karl Moore"

"Not Guilty"

"Jack Wilhelm"

"Not Guilty"

"Jack Will"

"Not Guilty"

"Boulder Sawn"

"Not Guilty"

"Alfred Thompson"

"Not Guilty"

"Franz Gipson"

"Not Guilty"

"Otto Soderbergh"

"Not Guilty"

"Constantine Norbert"

"Not Guilty"

"Gruppenführer Miller Glenbrook"

"Guilty"

"And Hans Kitchener"

"Not Guilty"

Fluttershy soon asked Daniel Sr a question

"Daniel, why is Miller one of the defendant's? I thought he saved Equestria."

"Well, even though that's true, he told me that even though he changed sides, he still participated in the Manehattan Conference. He wants to clear his mind by including himself in the trial," Daniel Sr explained

"The defendants have all entered their pleas. Justice Fredrick, your opening speech, please."

Justice Fredrick got up, went over to the podium, pulled out the speech that Daniel Sr had prepared for him, and began his speech.

"May it please you, your honors, the privilege of opening of the first trial in history for crimes against innocent alien lifeforms from beyond our galaxy. The wrongs that we seek to condemn and punish have been so calculated, and devastating, that civilization cannot tolerate their being ignored because it cannot survive their being repeated. That two great civilizations, flushed with peace and hope, and stung with injury, stay the hand of vengeance and voluntarily submit their captive enemies to the judgment of the law, is one of the most significant tributes that Power has ever paid to Reason. lf these men are the first war leaders of a defeated planet, in what is to be the first intergalactic trial to date, to be prosecuted in the name of the law, we agree that here they must be given a presumption of innocence. We accept the burden of proving criminal acts, and the responsibility of these defendants for their commission. We have no purpose here to incriminate the whole human race. Darren Jr did not use his powers for the greater good by trying to establish diplomatic relations with Equestria, but by abusing his powers to declare war on Equestria. He and his cronies have for a year, attempted to exterminate all life on this planet, all because they saw the ponies committing a crime in their eye's. What is that crime you ask? The crime of not fitting the ideals of human supremacy."

The crowd looked at Fredrick with awe as he continued speaking

"You will hear today and in the days ahead of the enormity and the horror of their acts. The prosecution will give you undeniable proofs of these incredible events. l count myself as one who received, during this war, atrocity tales with suspicion or skepticism. No more. The catalogue of crimes will omit nothing that could be conceived by their pathological pride, cruelty, and lust for power. You will hear of the repression of organized labor. The harassment and persecution of the citizens of Equestria and beyond. The conversion of mere xenophobia into the deliberate extermination of the ponies in Equestria. You'll hear of the series of human aggressions and conquests. The terror that settled over Equestria. The havoc wrought on the occupied territories. And you'll know that the real complaining party at your bar is Civilization. Civilization asks whether law is so laggard as to be utterly helples to deal with crimes of this magnitude by criminals of this order of importance. lt does not expect that you can make war impossible. lt does expect that your juridical action will put the forces of law, its precepts, its prohibitions and, above all, its sanctions on the side of peace. So lifeforms of good will in all planets may have leave to live by no man's leave, underneath the law."

Fredrick soon finished his speech. Everyone in the courtroom, minus the majority of the defendants, applauded the speech as Fredrick went back to sit down. The courtroom went quiet as Wil banged the gavel.

"First day of court is adjourned."

---oooOoOoOOOoOoOooo---

Afternoon, Manehattan Maximum Security Center cafeteria

Darren Jr and his cronies were eating lunch under watch.

"Jackson's speech? Pedantic. Tiresome lot of nothing. l nodded off twice," Jr said

"The food is better today. Do you think they'll feed us like this every day?" Mack asked

"They always feed you well before they hang you," Otto said sadly

"That's true," Mack said with a sigh

"They can't kill us. We're honorable men. They have to set us free," Jr said

Belkin got frustrated

"How about you worry about building your defense, you no good son of a bitch."

Darren Jr looked at Belkin. He then said:

"If your not going to eat your food, give it to me. It's such a crime to waste such good food."

Belkin looked at Jr with hatred and replied

"Fuck you Jr. Hope to see you face justice motherfucker," Belkin said as he ate his lunch

---oooOoOoOOOoOoOooo---

Palace of the Supreme Justice, the next day

"Is the Changeling prosecution ready?" Asked Wil

"Yes we are," said a Changeling, as he went up to the podium and opened up a folder

"Your Honors, with permission, l wish to read from a sworn affidavit by one John Friedrich Miller. A construction manager who, in a civilian capacity was employed by the Army in occupied Baltimare for two months. On several occasions he observed the mass murders of local residents committed by the special force's. One such occasion he writes, took place on March 5, 2120 near the city. That morning, Mr. Miller was informed that 1,000 residents from that city were to be taken by special force's trucks to a place near his building site where they were to be shot and buried in large pits. He continues 'There upon l drove to the site and saw near it great mounds of earth. Several SF trucks stood in front of them. l heard shots, in quick succession coming from behind one of the earth mounds. Those who had just got off the trucks, young and old of all ages, had to head to behind an earth mound upon the order of an SF man, who carried a whip. And without screaming or weeping, these innocent residents, stood around in family groups, kissed each other, said their farewells. I watched a family of about eight, a father and a mother with their children and two grown-up daughters. A grandmother with snow-white hair was holding the youngest, perhaps two year's old, in her arms and singing to it, tickling it, and the child was cooing with delight. All the residents around were looking on with tears in their eyes. The father was holding the hoof of his son, about 10 years old and speaking to him softly. The boy was fighting his tears. The father pointed to the sky, stroked the boy's head, seemed to explain something to him. At that moment, the SF man at the pit shouted to his comrades. The latter counted off about 30 ponies and instructed them to stay put. Among them was the family that l have mentioned. l well remember a mare, slim, with a beige colored body, and with blue hair, who as she passed close to me, pointed to herself and said: 'Twenty-three.' 'l then walked around the mound, and was confronted by an enormous grave. Ponies were closely wedged together and lying on top of each other so that only their heads were visible. Nearly all had blood running over their muzzles. Some of the ponies shot were still moving. Some were lifting their arms and turning their heads to show that they were still alive. The pit was at least two-thirds full. l estimated that it already contained about five hundred ponies. The victims went down some steps which were cut out of the clay wall of the pit and clambered over the heads of the ponies lying there to the place where the SF man had directed them. They lay down in front of the dead or injured. Some caressed those who were still alive and spoke to them in low voices. Then l heard a series of shots. I looked back into the pit and saw that the bodies were twitching. The heads lying already motionless were on top of the bodies that lay beneath them. When l walked back, around the mound, l noticed another truckload had arrived. This time it included the sick and the infirm. And the shooting continued.' Signed, Friedrich Miller."

Everyone was silent upon hearing the testimony. The changling had picked up his folder and sat back down. There was small whispers among the people and ponies in the court. Darren Jr looked at his cronies.

"Have any of you heard about this 'Miller' person?"

None of defendants knew, all except for Belkin, who said that Miller was under his jurisdiction. They all quiet down as they think about what to do next.

---oooOoOoOOOoOoOooo---
MMSC, after day two of trial

The prisoners, handcuffed to their guards, walk back to their cells. While their guards are inputting security code to the cells, the prisoners talk to each other

"They go on about this 'Miller' person. It doesn't concern us. We were not even mentioned," Jonathan said

"They must have very little evidence against us," Ferdinand said

"I always suspected that the prosecutors and judges were traitors to humanity. Now I'm sure of it," Blackstone said

"Shut up Blackstone!" Will said

"Men, please don't be so naive. We're on trial. Of course they're going to say terrible thing's about us. They have not even begun," Darren Jr said, as their cuffs were off and they were lead into their cells. The trial was progressing and the fate of the defendants would be determined by the outcome of the trial.

Author's Note

The trial has started. Many of you have been waiting to see Darren Jr and his cronies face judgement. Now it comes down to Daniel Sr to ensure that justice is done.
