“WHAT WERE YOU POSSIBLY THINKING,” Celestia roared in Neighsay’s face.

“She was allowing foreigners to enroll at her school. They only seek ways to attack us without warning. Her school should not have even been allowed to open,” he spat back.

“Celestia gave me a mission to spread the knowledge of friendship beyond Equestria’s borders. Closing my school was a way to interfere with that. If they don’t learn, other races will not know how to get along better with us,” Twilight said calmly.

Neighsay would not listen.

“If she opens her school back up, she must kick those creatures out. She is going to bring up the end of Equestria if she…,” he persisted.

“SILENCE,” Celestia shouted. “Twilight has my permission to run the school how she wants to. Due to your recent actions, I am left with no choice but to punish you.”

“How will you do that? If I am removed, one of my comrades will take my place.”

“No, they will not. By Royal Mandate, the EEA is DECOMMISSIONED, AND ALL OF YOU ARE STRIPPED OF YOUR RANKS.”

Twilight handed the medallion to Celestia who promptly smashed it. Neighsay became furious and tried to attack Twilight, but Rainbow held him back.

“You will pay for this, I SWEAR,” Neighsay growled as he was dragged out of the palace.

The second part of his consequence was that Celestia ordered him to be put on house arrest for six long months. Neither she, nor Luna was aware that he was planning a way to retaliate against them both. He sat at home during these months writing and drawing up his plans to change the nation after eliminating one critical obstacle. He had to hide the papers because guards would search his home every morning and evening. Luckily, they never found his notes and sketches. He just had to wait for the time to come. He planned to hold the Main Six and Starlight captive in some way that he needed to determine. He also sought to hold Spike and the Young Six as hostages. Above all, he had a goal to overthrow the royal sisters.
