After the magic lessons that night, and Monika had returned home with Sombra everyone had went to bed as Prism Hurricane shared Radiant Hope's bed for the night. The next morning after their usual morning routine, Monika heard knocking at the door.

She walked over and opened it to see Princess Celestia frowning “It’s time for us to discuss things with Winter Flash. We’ll need to bring Prism with us.”

Monika frowned as she turned to Sayori “I’m trusting you to take Sombra and Radiant Hope to school. I have to deal with Prism’s mother.” She then crouched in front of Prism who was visibly shaken at having to see his mother again “I promise that she won’t be allowed to harm you, you have my word.”

Prism gave her a weak smile “Thank you.”

Monika picked up the young filly and carried Prism in her arms as they left. Celestia smiled “You are quite a good mother, I have met mothers who even after years aren’t as good as you are.”

Monika sighed “When I was nine it was discovered that I could never have a child of my own, it was something that I was born with. I always wanted to be a mother as I had no parents of my own and maybe I could have one with this new body” she then smiled “but I already have two lovely foals as my own and if this one needs a better parent I’ll happily take a third.”

Celestia sighed “You have a kind heart, one that is purer than mine. I have heard about your idea for a holiday and the fact that it took you someone who has only seen my sister a few times to help her when I could not. I have been truly blind.”

Monika frowned “Then it’s time for a change, your sister should take over the military in it’s entirety. She is the warrior and you are the diplomat, let her handle those duties while you handle all the politics.”

Celestia frowned “That is true but we had an agreement to keep the military split between the two of us.”

Monika rubbed her forehead “How often do you inspect the military?”

Celestia paused as she thought about it “Maybe once a decade at most, and that’s if I don’t have some important diplomatic matter to attend to.”

Monika facepalmed “You are barely involved with them, if you pass them onto Luna she will keep the military combat ready even in times of peace. You understand my reasoning don’t you?”

Celestia frowned “I’ll discuss it with my sister tonight but for now let’s deal with the more pressing concern.” Monika nodded as they entered the castle, they soon arrived in the throne room to see Winter Flash was awaiting them alongside several other nobles and their retainers all carrying weapons.

Monika frowned “I thought she was meant to come alone.”

Celestia nodded “She was” she then growled at Winter Flash “What is the meaning of this! I asked you to come alone!”

Winter Flash smirked “Princess, you have sided with the filthy Rain Makers and the dirty Earth Diggers for two long. Equestria is ours to rule and we are going to reclaim it for the pride of all Unicorns.”

Prism Hurricane who had been silent all this time was visibly shaking, Monika hugged the filly “I promised I wouldn’t let them hurt you and that will not change.” She then handed Prism to Celestia “Protect her with a shield while I deal with these ponies.”

Before Celestia could respond Monika vanished from sight and appeared in front of one of the armed ponies shattered through the bipedal mares armour with her fist. She pulled it out leaving a hole where the mare’s heart should have been, the mare collapsed to the ground.

The armed ponies rushed at her as the nobles watched with smirks on their faces. Those smirks quickly faded as the weapons simply shattered on Monika’s flesh, they all turned to Celestia who created a golden barrier around the pair and covered Prism’s eyes with her hand. Prism cheered anyway “Get her!”

Monika clicked her fingers and the attacking ponies exploded into bloody piles. Monika clicked her fingers once more teleporting her and the nobles into the depths of the Everfree Forest, she clicked her fingers summoning Human Zombies to devour all the nobles save Winter. Monika then created multiple balls of fire, incinerating all of shambling beasts and their prey.

Winter looked at her in absolute horror “What are you going to do to me!”

Monika looked at her with a malicious smirk “Something special and I’m going to enjoy it, but you absolutely will not.” Monika summoned a golden bunny suit, she then picked the mare up by the neck and stuffed into the suit. She then grinned “This suit is designed to hold a bipedal creature, allowing them to entertain children but the major flaw is that springlocks with enough sweat or force the springlocks will snap shut on the victim inside.”

Winter panicked as she desperately tried to get out of the suit only to be force back in by Monika. Who then belted the suit again and again, after the second swing the springlocks snapped the metal parts of the suit crushed the mare’s body. The mare screamed in agony as her flesh was torn and her bones shattered in an instant.

Monika grinned clicking her fingers, preventing the mare from dying “There are punishments far worse than death and the punishment for abusing a child or foal simply because they were born a different race. Well…” She ripped the bunny animatronic’s head off with the mare’s head still inside, the mare screamed in agony as her head was separated from the rest of her body.

Monika then obliterated the rest of the Animatronic, she then looked at the mare as she created a dimensional shelf for knick knacks and put the mare’s animatronic head on the shelf “This is where you will live forever. Never to see the light of day again.”

The mare screamed “No, don’t do…”

Monika closed it and then shut the doorway to the dimension, she then teleported to the castle. Monika smiled “They have all been dealt with.”

Celestia’s eyes narrowed “What did you do to them, nothing permanent I hope?”

Monika rolled her eyes “You are so naive if you think they can get away with what amounts to High Treason without proper punishment. As for what I did to them, you don’t want to know. You will never sleep again if you knew what I did.” She then smiled as she took Prism from Celestia “Do you mind if I take Prism into my care?”

Celestia looked between her and the smiling filly, before sighing “Fine, you seem to care more for her well-being than Winter did. Besides you seem to be doing well with Sombra and Radiant Hope.” Monika smiled as she added another member to the family.
