The Dictators of Ponyville 2 The War

Night couldn't come quicker in Luna's opinion. She now had a plan on how to possibly make them walk away from the path of evil. Of course there was no guarantee that absolutely everything was going to work, for all she knew, it could trigger their hatred even stronger. Then again, she didn't really know if it would trigger anything at all to begin with. Luna was thinking of different scenarios, that could happen, but neither seemed possible to begin with. Luna looked around her bedroom. The walls were decorated in night blue paint. The ceiling was decorated with stars and the moon, with a lamp with some gems as decoration on it. She had a queen sized bed with the stars and moon as cover, she had a desk with a chair were she had some important papers, but mostly profiles of her guards. She had a large wardrobe with several dresses for different occasions. Luna was thinking about how life was at the castle before she defected, she smiled sadly at the memories but cherished them.

Luna raised her beautiful moon, and waited two hours for everypony to slumber, after the long wait, Luna went into the dream world and started searching for either of the crusaders room. She found Scootaloo's and made it stay there, while she searched for the other crusaders doors. After five minutes, she found Sweetie Belle's and connected it with Scootaloo's. She searched for Applebloom the longest, she either wasn't asleep or she was being difficult to find. Eventually she found her, and connected her door to the other crusaders door's. Luna waited five minutes before she went in, she wanted them to get used to their new environment.

Luna walked in and saw a bright light. It blinded her a little bit, but eventually got used to it. She walked in and was greeted with a horrible sight. It was the "new" Ponyville but the Ponies were being hanged publicly by their leaders. Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo were standing on their balcony and watching with boredom. Luna had seen horrible sights before, heck, stuff that would make Tartarus look like a children's playground, but she had never seen anything like this. 'Not even Sombra was this bad' Luna thought, to herself.

Luna decided to fly towards the balcony and confront them. She flew up towards them, who looked at her with un-interest. Luna was a little surprised but at the same time wasn't.

"Hello, my little ponies. I believe you know why I brought you here?" Luna asked, with a hint of dominance. Showing that they were gonna listen to her even if they didn't like it.

"Come right this way princess," Applebloom said, with happiness. Where it came from was an absolute mystery that even Pinkie Pie wouldn't find out.

Luna followed her and the crusaders into their parliament, she looked at her surroundings as much as she could. Applebloom walked through the empty hallway's, with dominance. Eventually they got to a room, wich Luna guess were their meeting room. Luna walked in and waited for them to finish up their starring contest that they had on her. Applebloom motioned for them to sit and she did.

"I'm quite surprised that you wanted to speak with all three of us, I thought you wanted us to die when you're sister tries to take back Bás." Applebloom said, bluntly.

"I wanted to show you something, something that would help you remember who you once was. To answer you're question, I don't want you to die." Luna revealed.

The crusaders got awfully quiet. She looked out of one of the windows and used her magic to show one of Applebloom's memories. It showed her the fun time she had with her sister and brother. Applebloom was taken aback by this, but didn't show any emotion. Applebloom looked at all the happy memories, eventually she couldn't keep the façade anymore and broke down in tears.

The next memory was for Scootaloo. Luna used her magic and went to the memories of Scootaloo. Luna found some stuff and put it into motion. Eventually the scenery changed as Scootaloo's memory, started playing. It showed all the fun times she had in school with her friend's and being really happy. Scootaloo was unfaced by this and showed no emotion. Luna pushed into her memories specifically the personal stuff. She found a few memories that Scootaloo still held dear. Scootaloo broke down crying.

The finale one was for Sweetie Belle, and Luna knew she was going to break down to. The scenery change and Sweetie Belle's memories started playing. There was so many happy moments in her life, that she cherished a lot. A scene started playing showing affection her sister showed her. The next one was being well liked by everypony. Sweetie Belle broke down in tears, and her eye's almost exploded with tears, that rushed out of her eye's.

Luna didn't like hurting them like this, but if it helped the ponies of Bás then she'd do it. She watched as the crusaders cried. She walked over to them and showed them warmth from her wings, and cooing them. They started calming down and relaxed with red eye's.

"Have you now realised what you have done? Not only did you take away their smiles, but their security and their son, daughter, friend, family member and others." Luna said, A bit coldly but she knew she couldn't sugarcoat it.

The crusaders nodded together and cried again. Luna sighed, hoping that tomorrow was the end of the war. That is a silly thought to be very honest. The war just end, just like that? No way. Luna was lost in thought as the crusaders cried their eye's out. Luna was thinking about their military, they could still be around as some type of defence. She also wanted to ask the crusaders about their technology, that seemed to be super advanced. But that would hafto be for another day.

"Hopefully, tomorrow will bring happiness to everypony." Luna whispered, to herself.

soooooon they will be on their knees!
