Vengeance 2 - Canterlot Has Fallen

It was now really bad for Equestria as Twilight had just been murdered and Discord was re-imprisoned into stone. It was now on the verge of being into a life of no friendship, since the three main alicorns who helped conjure it were now dead. It was now up to Nathan and the others to get help from foreign lands in order to defeat Tirek and Chrysalis once and for all, as their first destination was Tirek's old kingdom where his brother Scorpan and his parents, King Vorak and Queen Hayden resided. They had known that maybe his family could share some secrets to them about any weaknesses in Tirek's lust for power, maybe even convince them to join them in helping win the war.

Anyway, they were walking through the Badlands that would eventually lead into the lands beyond Equestria. But the Badlands contained such dreadful apparitions like dry cracked river beds, skulls and bones that belonged to animals and creatures that had died there, and little to no sign of civilization anywhere. As the group strolled through these lands, they were talking and bashing themselves for easily being so defeated.

"How could this happen?!" asked Flurry Heart.

"This just is not right!" whined Skyla.

"Gals, Ah'm not sure how we were easily able to be defeated, but we cannot give up on it!" said Applejack.

"Well, at least we still have the strength to get help." said Nathan.

"The only thing that matters is we find Scorpan and convince him that we need his help."

"Hopefully we can get some help from him, he's probably the only one who can try and convince Tirek otherwise." said Fluttershy

"FYI, he did that once and it never ended well!" said Rainbow Dash.

"We can only hope."

As they continued on into the Badlands that led into Tirek's old land, back in Equestria, it was now really bad. Ponies were robbed of all their magic, they were now in chains and collars once again, and were building monuments again. But it was about to get much worse, for up on the balcony, Tirek stared down at the group with utter disappointment.

"Thanks for the help you guys, you've made my scheme of being ruler even easier." Tirek said as he walked back into the castle. Back in the Badlands, the main group continued to toddle and walk in all hopes of reaching Tirek's old kingdom, but there were still miles of dry drought ground that had to be walked on before a view of any town or village came into sight.

"Guys are y'all sure we need Scorpan's help for this?" asked Nate.

"Nathan, for the last time, yes!" snapped Rainbow Dash.

"He's the only one who can help us, not to mention we've still got to go to the Changeling Kingdom after." said Spike.

"I'm pretty sure Tirek's brother is all the help we'll need." said Kyle.

"I'm hoping we can get there and back to Equestria in time." said Zodi

Everything then cut over to the kingdom where Tirek resided all those years ago. In the throne room of his kingdom, Scorpan, who had aged big time, was now the ruler. King Vorak and Queen Hayden had passed on into the afterlife all those years ago and had managed to pass the role of ruler onto him, now here he was in a royal robe, a scepter clutched in his right hand, and the crown that his father wore was on his head. He was just staring out the window in sorrow over the fact that his brother just would not abandon the plan to steal Equestrian magic, now he felt that Tirek was out to do more than just steal.

His suspicions were about to be confirmed when he heard the doors that led into the throne room open up, and in came two centaur guards.

"Your majesty."

Scorpan then turned to see the guards, "Yes, what is it?"

"We have reports of visitors entering our land, they appear to be from Equestria. The land that you and Tirek went to many years ago."

Scorpan now knew his feelings were right, "Okay, when they enter, escort them in here."

"Yes sir!" they said as they left the room, Scorpan then continued to stare out the window with a sad expression.

"Oh Tirek, what have you done?!" he said.

About ten minutes later, the throne doors opened up again, and Scorpan saw none other than the main ponies and Spike.

"Thank you guards, return to your posts." he said, and the guards left as Scorpan turned his attention to the main group.

"Something happened in Equestria, didn't it?" he asked.

"Ah'm afraid yer' right Scorpan." said Nathan.

"Tirek escaped from one of our prison traps once again." said Skyla.

"And now we've had it much worse!" said Flurry Heart.

"Wait....where's Twilight Sparkle?!"

Everypony hung their heads low, expressing to Scorpan that something worse had happened.

"You don't mean....."

"Yes, we saw it happen." said Starswirl the Bearded, "Twilight, Tirek has killed Twilight!"

"And Luna!" said Nathan.

"King Scorpan, yer' brother has been nothin' but a complete monster and a nuisance to Equestria. Every time he escapes, he causes pure pain and sufferin' on us." said Nathan

"He and Chrysalis have become a persistent thorn in our side!" Starswirl scorned.

"We're tired of re-imprisoning him!" said Zodiac.

"ALL RIGHT, I UNDERSTAND!!!!!!!" Scorpan yelled before taking a deep breath, "What else has he done besides kill Twilight?"

"He and Queen Chrysalis managed to somehow gather up an army of the most dangerous terrorists and criminals from my world." said Kyle.

"Oh yeah," Scorpan said, "I've heard a lot about humans and how aggressive they can be sometimes."

"Don't ask how though." said Nathan.

Scorpan could now see he had to do the right thing. After all, he did befriend Starswirl the Bearded all those years ago, so now it was his time to be a new hero for his friends. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath as he thunk it over for a few minutes until his eyes opened again.

"Then I will come with you to back to Equestria and end their tyrannical reign of power once and for all!"

"And once we capture them, we will re-imprison them back......"

"NO!!!!!!!!!!!!" yelled Nathan with a very loud scream.

"What do you mean 'no'?" asked Applejack.

"WE ARE NOT RE-IMPRISONING THEM IN ANYTHING OR ANYWAY!!!!!!!" Nathan yelled.

"But, they've killed Twilight Sparkle." said Scorpan

"Yes." said Kyle, who was backing up his friend, "Tirek did murder Twilight, but now he has also gone far as to massacring thousands of innocent ponies to make sure they never get their magic back. And as the cherry on top, he is having his army chop Discord's stone prison to pieces, who knows what those three monsters have planned next!"

"Exactly, they have proven to us that they are too dangerous to be left alive." said Nathan, "Even if we did do that, they would just escape again. We're just gonna have to do the unthinkable."

"What's that?" asked Zodiac.

The camera zoomed in on Nathan's mouth, "Kill them!"
