Twilight: The Elemental Empress

20 years after Twilight became Queen, her kingdom had been completely filled up with a huge variety of different creatures. There was more changelings, griffons, hippogriffs, hybrid ponies, monster ponies, dragons, and tons more.

But Twilight had more creatures that needed new homes, so she had decided to expand her kingdom. She used her magic steering system, created 19 years and 11 months before, to travel back to where she first created her kingdom. When she arrived, she set the kingdom down back into the ground and had everything fused together as if it was never removed. She also fused the floating islands that were circling the main island back to it.

Once that was done, she removed most of the trees on the south side of the kingdom in order to create new houses and buildings to add to her kingdom.

The cleared land spread out for another 2,365 miles, buildings(some hotels) and houses decorating it with the remaining trees.

Twilight also decided to make her castle bigger. She gathered more floating islands from the flat terrain and separated her castle from the rest of the kingdom, replacing the crater with a several of the largest floating islands she just gathered, while the rest(800,000,000) were fused to the island that her castle rested on.

Twilight’s castle began to grow higher, now having several different sections branching out from the 24 main sections of the castle, each being extra groups of rooms and hallways, before separating from the castle and being reconnected by more floating islands to the each of the 24 main sections, also having towers with flags, while the main wings became even larger.

The kingdom began to split into four parts, and the main part of the castle began to lower into the middle before the four parts began to fuse to the main section.

The unused miles of terrain began to break apart into millions of floating islands. 1/4 floated from the upper left side of the floating islands to the lower right side, 1/4 did the opposite, 1/4 floated from left to right, and the last 1/4 floating from above the floating islands to the bottom. Twilight also gathered 25 hundred thousand more floating islands and added more beautiful vegetation on each.

Her kingdom was now an empire, and she was now Empress Twilight. She was ready to return to Equestria.

“Hey Silent.” Said Twilight, “Are you ready to visit my former home?”

“I am, Empress Twilight.”

“Good. We’ll be arriving there soon.” Replied Twilight.

Meanwhile in Equestria, the ponies were going about their business. Mares and stallions were shopping in the Ponyville marketplace, while their fillies and colts were at school.

Suddenly, pegasi began to notice a giant clump of floating islands heading towards the town.

One of the pegasi that noticed was a member of the wonderbolts who was training with the rest of the wonderbolts. She had a light blue coat and a rainbow mane and tail.

“Wonderbolts. There’s a strange clump of floating islands heading this way.” She said, “We should check it out.”

The wonderbolts began flying towards the largest of the floating islands. As they got closer, they noticed that there was an entire empire on the biggest of the islands.

“Rainbow dash.” Said a wonderbolt named Spitfire. “Go inform the Princesses about this while we investigate.”

“Yes ma’am.” Replied Rainbow dash, before flying towards Canterlot as fast as she could. She zoomed to the entrance to the castle.

“I need to see Princess Celestia and Princess Luna.” She said to the guards, “It’s urgent.”

The guards nodded and opened the doors to the castle, allowing Rainbow to zoom towards the throne room. She burst through when she got to the doors.

“Princesses, there’s a floating empire coming towards Ponyville. I was told to come here to inform you.”

“Bring us to it.” Replied Princess Celestia, “We would like to see this for ourselves.”

Rainbow dash led the Princesses out towards the floating empire. “Here it is.” She said.

Celestia and Luna flew towards the castle in the center and flew into one the castle towards it’s throne room.

“Ah, welcome to the Elemental Empire, Princesses Celestia and Luna.” Said Twilight, sitting on her throne.

“Who are you and how do you know our names?” Asked Luna.

“I don’t know.” Replied Twilight, sarcastically. “Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I’m your former student, Celestia.”

Both Celestia’s and Luna’s eyes grew wide. “T-Twilight? Is that really you?” Questioned Celestia

“It is indeed, Celestia.” Replied Twilight.

“W-what happened to you?”

“Well, after I was cast out of my brother’s wedding, I heard a voice guiding me to an ancient temple. The voice, which belonged to a spirit named Silent Spirit, gave me the choice to become the master of the 24 elemental powers. I accepted the offer and was given this new appearance. 15 years later, I created this place using my powers. And I’ve been giving creature castaways a new home here.”

“But why didn’t you come back? We all missed you.” Replied Celestia.

“I didn’t come back because I have a empire now.” Said Twilight. “Now leave my sight before I call my guards.”

But neither of them moved.

“I didn’t want to have to do this. GUARDS!”

Two guards, a changeling and a ghost-pony, came to the throne room immediately. “What is it you wish, Empress Twilight?” They asked, no hatred in their voice.

“Escort these two back to Canterlot, located on that mountain.” Replied Twilight, pointing to the mountain in the distance.

“As you wish, your highness.”

The two guards directed Celestia and Luna back to Canterlot, just as Twilight requested them to do.

“Now, I will put my floating empire right on the outskirts of Ponyville.” Twilight said to herself. She used the magic steering system to move the empire over to where she wanted it to be.

The floating islands circling the empire formed one large staircase of floating islands up to it. Then Twilight used her power to form 5 stone stabilizers to keep it from accidentally moving.

The Ponyvillians slowly walked towards one of the staircases, fascinated by the floating empire in front of them.

Empress Twilight stopped in her former home for a reason. She wished to see her ex-friends again, and she had a lot to discuss with them.
