An Exiled Pony.

Starlight had never been so.. Full of anger and hatrid before. Ever since Sunburst left for Princess Celestia's School, she was only filled with anger...hatred towards others and their cutie marks.

But as she entered the Canterlot castle, all she could feel was her outburst and increasing temper.

She knocked on the door, hesitantly.

"Come in!" the voice yelled. It was Princess Luna. She paused for a few seconds. Starlight could still run. But to where? Her village wouldn't even accept her back. She pushed the door forward with a hoof.

"Ah, pleasant to see you here! And what is your name, little one?" Luna asked, looking down from her throne.

Starlight laughed. "My name? It should be familiar to you. I'll give you some clues. I'm not in the Equestrian database, I'm powerful, I had a village before that puny Alicorn of yours took all my work away, and I'm the reason that Princess Twilight is now called the most feared warrior in the desert, also the Storm King's general and the leader of more timberwolves Equestria can even comprehend. "

She paused, giving a small, but satisfying smirk." So, please tell me, Luna. Does that sound familiar to you?"

She paused. "Y-you're Starlight Glimmer?"

Starlight nodded. The one and only."

Luna grimaced. "What in Equestria are you doing here? I take pity on you, which is the reason no guards are sticking spears through your cold heart right now."

"Spare me the petty insult, Luna," Starlight pulled out a map out of her saddlebag. "I'm simply here to make a deal that will benifit Canterlot, if not Equestria, and me at the same time."

Luna through for a second. "Let me get my sister."

Starlight nodded. "Don't be too long now, the offer is one in a
lifetime, y'know!"

When Luna emerged, she had her angry sister. They both sat on their thrones, keeping an eye on Starlight.

"What's your plan, Starlight Glimmer?" Celestia was angry, Starlight found it relieving that she hadn't actually been murdered yet.

"Simple. An ambush. I know where the main base is. The Storm King-" This is where Celestia cut her off.

"He's shattered to pieces in the Everfree Forest. He's dead."

Starlight chuckled. She levitated some pictures of him, which were very recent, over to the two sisters. They gained back interest fast.

"How do you know where the base is, anyways?" Luna asked.

"I worked there for a while when I was exiled from my town. I just wiped my data and went off the radar. Twilight's gonna do that too, if she hasn't already."

"Princess Luna, what does she dream about?" Starlight asked. Luna stayed silent, fiddling with her hooves. Starlight was never one to wait around for an answer. "Give me an answer otherwise I'll join Twilight in burning this city to the ground. Right now I am the only inside look on the camp. Tempest is dead, so she's no help unless you use dark magic. So give me a loud and clear answer otherwise the deal is off."

Luna couldn't risk it. "She dreams about murdering her own kind. She saves the best for last, however. Once she killed all of us, she would walk up to Celestia and torture her for hours until she died.. The ones that were spared were her friends and family, who were used as slaves."

She smiled. "Good. Now, will you help me?"

Celestia looked at her sister and then the Mare in front of her throne. "Not in a million years. I'd rather die than help then help the mare that caused me to send my student away."

Starlight smirked. "Bad choice, Princesses." She tried to teleport away, but couldn't. "My magic.. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY MAGIC?"

Luna smirked. "Every second you've been in the room, your magic has been draining away. You couldn't even tell if you wanted to."

She laughed like maniac. "What can you do without the elements? Exile takes a damn lot of power, and so does managing the element of magic! You're too weak to fight me!"

Celestia laughed. "You're going to be used as a peace offering. But for now, Tartarus is where you belong."

She growled."I'LL KILL YOU! I'LL KILL YOU BOTH, IN FRONT OF EACHOTHER! YOU WILL SUFFER AT MY HOOVES, MARK MY WORDS!"

And with that, she was sent to Tartarus with a flash of light. Her remains stated behind, however. A map of the desert was there, with 17 small circles and 3 massive ones. Luna smiled. "This is where the Storm King has been hiding out?"

Princess Celestia took out a pencil an pointed it towards nowhere in particular. "Most certainly saving up power. We can try and offer a peace sacrifice?"

Luna shrugged. "It might not work, but it may be worth a shot."

Celestia nodded. "Well, after that nightmare, it is time to return to my chambers to lower the sun, as I was about to do before you rudely interrupted me."

Luna smiled in victory. "So am I. I just have to inform the guards to double down on security and close down the castle for the rest of the week as safety precautions."

Celestia nodded. "Thank you sister. It's so good to have shoulder to lean on sometimes."
Luna smiled back at her sister who nodded, short before closing the door. This left Celestia alone with her thoughts on her way back to her personal chambers.

She saw what she'd never want to see again. The final scroll of her prized student. Up until now, she thought that she had lied to her, betrayed her, even. But, now, after all this she was innocent. She banned an innocent pony over something minor. Now, if she didn't accept this offer, Equestria would suffer as it once did. Hell, maybe even old enemies like Tirek or the changeling army would come back.

But hey, this might be Celestia over thinking as usual, right? She stepped out to her balcony and lowered the sun and hoped, prayed even..

That her student would come back...
