Sunset Plan's to conquer Equestria... Spike is not amused
“And now, with this army, I have enough power to cross around worlds and finally conquer my right to being a princess over Equestria. Bwahahahahaha!” Sunset Shimmer laughed, ensuring that several lightning bolts and flames had gone off behind her for dramatic effect. She had also made sure her hair grew flames to make it look like her style as devil princess and even baring her unusually sharp fangs that she called teeth to increase the intimidation. No doubt the entirety of Canterlot High school was shaking in their knees, especially after using the magic over the crown to create a transformation. She looked at Twilight Sparkle and her friends, who were in shock from her power, and at that moment, she was ready to confront her nemesis. That said, both girls were blindsided by what happened next.
“HOLD ON.” A childish male voice screamed, making both girls and all the school look at the little dog who was staring at the demonic form of the student who was scaring all the school, a simple dog who was with a mixture of colors of purple and green. But the look over his face showed it wasn’t a simple dog, but a talking dog who stopped Sunset for a minute. “That’s it? THAT’S IT? THAT’S YOUR WHOLE PLAN?”
The dog shouted in disbelief while making all the girls and the other students’ mouths drop hard.
“Spike, what are you doing?” Twilight hissed through her teeth while Spike looked at her like he wasn’t in a mood.
“Not now Twilight, I’m having a serious conversation right now.” Spike shot Sunset's annoying look, which she just coughed and glared at the dog under her.
“Yes, it is. Do you have a problem with my plan?” Sunset looked at the dog, which facepalmed with his own paws, it was adorable, but at the same time, his face looked like he was really annoyed.
“Actually, I don’t have if that was, in fact, a joke, and then you would reveal you're true plan right now… please tell me that plan was a joke, and you have a plan 10 times better than that.” The dog held his paws like he was begging in his place, making Sunset’s eye look at him surprised and have a minuscule doubt on herself…
Her silence answered for itself.
“Oh my goodness, what I will tell my friends, what I will tell aunt and mom about that…” Spike looked at the floor while his paw was on his face again, then he looked again to Sunset Shimmer. “Sunset Solaris Shimmer…”
Spike's voice naming Sunset's true name made her eyes open wide by surprise and made her attention on the dog.
“I’m so disappointed…” The next words were sharp like a huge knife and penetrated Sunset's demonic body making her cringe in her place. “That’s by far the most awful, stupid, and pathetic plan on the villainy history ever made.”
The words hit hard, and Sunset couldn’t tell why, but her anger made her look at the dog again, furious.
“Oh yeah? Why do you think so? And who do you think you are to tell me that?”
The dog sighed deeply and looked at the villain waiting for a good answer by a simple dog who talked.
“I’m Equestrian… I’m from the Royal family of Solaris. My name is Spike, and I’m your brother.” At the moment, Spike said that Sunset’s mouth dropped hard, while all the students gasped strongly from such an impact.
“Oh my goodness, the drama.” Rarity raised her palm and dramatically acted but was totally surprised by such a revelation. “It was like the novel the passion Fuerte, where the maid was, in fact, sister of the rich man who was sent there to show his wrongdoings.”
Pinkie Pie was on her place doing nothing more than chewing popcorn and even offered to her friends who just stood there; Rarity gladly accepted, though.
“Spike, you shouldn’t reveal this to everypony. Do you want someone to kidnap you?” Twilight hissed, trying to suppress information from Spike, who just rolled his eyes.
“Oh yeah, let somepony cross dimensions to follow a Princess of Friendship and the dragon Prince of Canterlot, Twilight your paranoia’s still amusing me.” Spike snarky answered back, making Twilight blush sheepishly and went back to her place.
One of the students, after recovering from the shock, suddenly said something.
“Oh, now that we know Sunset’s brother is a dog, so that means she is a b…” At the moment he was going to say that, a fireball launched at him almost hit him, making him wet his pants.
“Don’t you even dare?” Sunset Shimmer and Spike, who looked at the boy, said in unison.
“Nice shot,” Spike said while receiving a chuckle from Sunset.
“I have to say this transformation has some perks.” Sunset felt somewhat proud of her powers, but then a frown appeared on her face. “And now explain to me, brother… What do you mean my plan was pathetic?”
“Well, Sunset Shimmer, I’m experienced on villainy plans after Twilight Sparkle and her friends have managed Equestria like… 4 times?” Spike looked at Twilight, who just corrected him.
“5 if we count Trixie with the amulet.” Twilight corrected him, making him wonder again.
“Oh yeah, well, she had a perfect madness but to have such power to banish you from the town? Well, it was a little stupid, but at least she was mad, so that couldn’t take off her points.” Spike made an evaluation again while he looked at Sunset. “Oh, maybe… Sunset, are you having a bit of insanity? The desire for power, or a few hallucinations.”
Sunset shimmer felt her eyes twitch, and she narrowed her eyes again.
“No, I’m perfectly sane.”
“Oh, ponyfeathers.” Spike kicked the floor with his paw. “That would make a perfect excuse. Anyway… Being over there and listening to details, our family decree by our aunt Princess Luna decided to make a good reason for me to go to Canterlot at the last week of the month. To discuss the possible ways to conquest Equestria and terrible attempts of the last villains and what should they have to do instead.”
At that moment, Sunset shimmer felt in silence… not just her, but all the entire school and even the princess of Friendship was in silence from such shock.
“What? Princess Luna? Wait, evaluation of possible ways to conquer Equestria and how to fix the terrible plans?” Sunset Shimmer felt an aneurysm, like her mind was in such strong confusion that even she didn't know how to deal with this.
“Spike, what are you doing?” Twilight couldn’t take anymore; Spike was insane.
“Twilight, let the royalty speak over here… Why not take your friends and play fetch the Crystal Heart in another room?” Spike looked at her bored and used his paws to wave her away, but that made Twilight angrier.
“What do you mean, royalty? I’m a princess too…
“I SAID, LEAVE THE ROYALTY SPEAK OVER HERE, AND GO PLAY WITH YOUR FRIENDS FETCH THE CRYSTAL HEART ON OTHER ROOM.” Spike was so angry that his barking made everyone listen to his barks with the angry shouting.
At that moment, something on Twilight’s mind clicked…
“Oh… Okay, if you really want me to play another place. FINE.” Twilight took the hand of some of her friends and left the place with all the people shocked.
“Such a nerve.” Spike scoffed while looking at Sunset Shimmer. “Can you believe it? I’ve always been her number one assistant, and while she is the princess, I have to be the voice of reason over here.”
“Really?” Sunset Shimmer ignored her confusion while his statement picked her curiosity.
“Yeah, she is just mad she received 6 points for her try to conquer Ponyville.”
“ She tried to conquer Ponyville? Wait... 6 points? Why is that.” Sunset Shimmer asked by curiosity, and now she may have good info about her nemesis.
“She used the wanted it, need it to spell in a little doll, and left Ponyville in pure chaos.” Spike's quote made Sunset Shimmer in shock, and Twilight knows that spell? Sunset remembered stories about spells that would cause destruction. “She would have received 9 points if she didn’t use that for a stupid reason like, she forgot to sent a lesson learned letter to mom, she totally freaked out and went Cuckoo.”
Spike gestured his paw over his head, making circles while receiving a little chuckle from the demoniac form of Sunset Shimmer.
“I didn’t know such a spell would have caused a city to fall.”
“Trust me; I was there. I learned a lot about Ponyville, I had to deal with a dark shadow of our family Nightmare Moon which is our aunt Princess Luna, and now she is better, then had to deal with a Minor Ursa because of a stupid lie of Trixie Lulamoon, then Discord the lord of chaos went on Ponyville. He stuck our mom horn inside of a door with glue while he corrupted all the holders of Elements of Harmony, almost winning, but he was in a stone later, and he was reformed because of Fluttershy…”
Spike, while he talked to Sunset, everyone over the room was getting more and more shocked about what is going on. And when they heard the name of Fluttershy, even Sunset was shocked.
“Yeah, I know, she has a power nobody knows, but it seems the Lord of Chaos is a friend with her, so I wouldn’t be stupid to mess with Equestria’s Fluttershy… And who was again… Oh yeah, our cousin Candance almost couldn’t get married, because a freaking insectoid which can transform herself in other ponies switched places with her, treating everypony like you are doing… Wait… Are you a changeling? Because that would make…
“Spike, I’m me, and I’m not a changeling.”
“Oh dang it.” Spike snapped his paws like it was a finger, making everyone feel used. “And then was King Sombra which slaved Crystal Empire and got stuck in time during 1000 years, I have to say he was the only one who made 9 points because he made a door with a black magic spell which makes everypony has the worst nightmare after looking at it, made me and Twilight cry. So it was a good first try plan, but guess who had to save the day?”
Spike appointed both his paws over him.
“This dragon… I mean dog. Well, you get it. And after that, well, me… I received 8 points.”
“You? 8 Points?” Sunset Shimmer’s jaw dropped by that statement. “What did you do?”
“Well, I’m a dragon, and when the dragon gets greedy, it tends to become instinctive for the desire of things, so in the end, I kidnapped my crush, became a 30 feet tall dragon, and defeated the Wonderbolts like they were flies, and the only reason I became normal wasn’t that somepony used magic on me, it was because I remembered of me giving one gift to the pony I have a crush and that desire of generosity made me come back to my senses. 8 points because nopony had the courage to defeat me and recover my senses on my own. And mom wouldn’t have the courage to attack me if I’m not in my senses. I just got 3 days without my comics, so that was a total win for me.”
Everyone over the room left a silent breath of sound.
“Can you tell me what is wrong with my plan?” Sunset Shimmer decided to ask now that she felt inferior, knowing her brother actually was an expert on that.
“Do you want me to be totally honest with you?” Spike raised one of his eyebrows, making Sunset nod to him. “Alright, first off… Your plan is stupid because you are using teenage zombies.”
“What why?” Sunset questioned curiously.
“They aren’t strong enough to combat like soldiers in the front attack or weren’t foals or children enough to be too cute to be terrible to imagine on attacking little children. If you would use the teenagers, even if you use them as a meat shield, it wouldn’t last because you now would have to deal with 4 alicorns over Equestria, not just mom, but aunt Luna, cousin Cadance, and now Twilight Sparkle, which had a better attempt on trying to conquer Equestria with a little doll than you.”
Spike's first point made everyone feel uncomfortable with the idea of being a meat shield but listening to how stupid it would be, they kind of feel insulted; he was telling them they were worthless even as a meat shield.
“The second one is, you don’t have time, today is the last day of 30 moons, so you don’t have time to try to use your force to conquer the planet earth firstly then going back to Equestria with a better army, like from what I could see on the shows, this world has some good weapons.”
At the moment Spike suggested that plan, Sunset's mind enjoyed the idea.
“But what do you mean I don’t have time?” Sunset Shimmer liked the idea of using the zombies to control the persons later because their parents wouldn’t like to hurt their children, and she could wait for another 30 moons, but what does he mean by that.
“Because I don’t like to be a dog over this universe, it sucks, I hated it. It seems the ponies are more privileged than the dragons, and in every universe, we will go, I will become an animal, and what now? I will become a blowfish when I go to the water?” Spike said in sarcasm…
“Pinkie, what are you doing? We have to go now.” Rainbow Dash asked while Pinkie Pie was inside of a door at the girl’s bathroom.
“I’m coming.”She called while she used her boot to kick the merchandise of My Little Pony the Movie with the toys of Spike as blowfish inside of the toilet giving flush. “Yeah, that would be a terrible idea.”
Pinkie cleaned the sweat over her face and went outside of the bathroom.
“So, Sunset, I will give you 2 choices.” Spike had enough of what happened, so he gave her the choices with an uninterested look at Sunset. “The first one, you will surrender now, give your powers away, say sorry to all your school, and come quietly to Equestria, meet mom and say you are sorry for all that stupid problems you had with her and this world. I know if you say it nicely and be truly sorry, you will at least receive a little grounding… like 3 weeks? Yeah, it would be fair.”
Sunset Shimmer and the entire school were speechless from what they heard; they even cleaned their ears to imagine things.
And Sunset Shimmer let it out a powerful laugh.
“Hahahaha, that’s so funny, and here I thought you were serious. And the last one?” Sunset Shimmer was smiling smugly at her brother, he is smart, but he couldn’t do anything against her, she had the power of the crown, there is nothing… Wait, where is the crown?
“Okay, it’s the second then.” Spike turned back where Twilight Sparkle and her friends were in the full power of the elements of harmony connected with the crown launching a huge blast on Sunset Shimmer. “Your plan receives a 2 because of these reasons, you don’t know which people you are against, and you get carried away by a conversation while the heroes went back to recover their powers to defeat you. A bad plan is always bad when someone knows how to make time, and I’m an expert in buying time. Now, you should have to choose the number 1.”
“What? NOOOOOOOO.” The rainbow Blast made Sunset Shimmer scream in agonizing pain and then being totally defeated and on the floor.
The school cheered at the moment Sunset was defeated, and everyone went back to normal.
“Nice job, girls,” Spike said proudly while receiving a hug from Twilight.
“Spike, you are a genius when you said to take the Crystal Heart, you were telling the adventure we had to take the Crystal heart without King Sombra notice, and you distracted her so she couldn’t even guess that.” Spike chuckled.
“Yeah, she had a bad plan, but at least now it is over.” Spike went back on the floor and went over the circle around Sunset. “Give me space, everyone; I’m not done yet.”
While everyone gave the room for the crazy hero who bought time against the demonic bully, he looked at Sunset, broken in her place.
“Sunset Shimmer, after receiving a harmony burst, usually people who had shadows were forgiving and had a new start; however, what you did was awful in many ways. So that said…” Spike waited until Twilight Sparkle appeared.
“You need to be reformed. So I have talked with the girls, and they are willing to teach you the true value of friendship.” Twilight Sparkle said while everyone over Canterlot high was in shock, that’s it? That’s her punishment?
“But.” Until Spike said again, making the students flinch and even Sunset cringe. “You decided to do the hard way, so that’s how this will work. You will have to apologize to everyone over this school and learn the true values of friendship. When the 30 moons are over, you MUST go to Equestria to talk to mom. She will hear about what you did today, so get ready to receive 5 months of grounding until you go back to school over here.”
Everyone over the school was a bit surprised, it wasn’t a hard punishment, but it seems when they look at Sunset fearful eyes and nodding her head accepting her punishment, they couldn’t have another thing to do than accept, well it’s her brother, they couldn’t try to do something stupid, they were both royalties. They don’t want to receive a bad look over their mother, which seems quite powerful.
“Alright, everything seems to be okay now. Now let’s get out of this world, I hate being a dog, and I hope I never go back over here again.”
While he said that, Rainbow Dash looked at Pinkie Pie carrying a bunch of posters and toys.
“Where are you going?”: Rainbow Dash asked.
“Not in the bathroom… Keep talking, and oh what’s that?” Pinkie Pie ran away at the first moment Rainbow Dash turned her back.
Pinkie Pie flushing another bunch of movies, just Pinkie being Pinkie.
Sunset Plan's to conquer Equestria... Spike is not amused
Bonus chapter... HAHAHAHAH
As the night progressed at Canterlot, many ponies passed their time preparing themselves for a good night of sleep, even the leader of the entire equestrian during her day must have a good night of sleep, especially inside of her heart, she couldn't stop to have the sweetest dreams after a miracle has happened a week before. She had mixed feelings after everything she heard from her son, but now Princess Celestia couldn't help but smile every night after seeing a miracle appear after many years of sadness.
As the princess was enjoying her sweet dreams, the nocturnal royal guards were passing their time protecting the castle from invasions inside of the night, but some of them had one important task to accomplish every week... Pretend they are going to neither hear nor see what's going to happen on the weekends of night.
"AHAHAHAHAAHAHA." The laughs inside of a meeting room were one of the reasons the guards aren't going to intervene or even try to figure out the reason for it since their princess made a royal order to not participate since she was going to pass her time with family.
And inside of the said meeting room, there was what would be not just the Princess of the Night laughing, but a baby dragon who was laughing as he tried to not choke with his gems, and a draconiquess who was still making imitations from ponies they knew about.
"And I was like, Chrissy for the love of Faust, you really kidnapped the princess of love, but you actually forgot about the family of your supposed hubby? Like, isn't the changelings most important task is to know about everything about their targets? Especially the background of the ponies they are supposed to marry? And you know what she said to me?" Discord drank the glass from the cup leaving chocolate milk in an invisible cup. "For the bucking hundred-time Discord, it's 2 a.m, let me bucking sleep, and get out from my hive. I have to confess that she lost 2 points trying to make some excuse for her stupid mistake."
"Well, at least she tried to make a solid plan. I mean, she was so believable that she seemed to be the monsters that mostly stallions said before marrying, There was an entity called the bride, and she is the one who makes the lovely ponies we love turn into a monstrous mare that would be like dictators. So she was believable. I will defend her 2 points." Spike, as tried to make sure that even if Chrysalis didn't manage to win on the Canterlot Wedding because of Twilight, he still gives her, prompts for almost managing to win, even part of the problem was he and his friends made to Twilight instead of helping. "I still blame myself for what happened."
"Well Spike, thou have to admit that sometimes a good villain has the great art of manipulation when it comes about necessity, but let's stop talking about the changelings, do you have in mind what she will try in the future?" Princess Luna who has been drinking her nocturnal coffee asked as both Spike and Discord looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders.
"Possible an invasion trying to replace Twilight and the other girls." Both Discord and Spike said at the same time, which made them look at each other.
"Exactly, and this the time for thous think about the best way to defeat such manipulative queen like her." Princess Luna smiled proudly as how her good advisors on strategic villain plans were proactive about a way to protect themselves from the same mistake.
"Well, you are right aunty Luna, however, Twilight and I has to deal with another possible threat when it comes to villainy, there is this girl named Starlight and I have to confess, she had a lot of potentials, she actually managed to be the mayor of the village and made all the ponies share the same cutie mark as she captured all of them and held hostage for herself," Spike said as he examined the good Saphire in front of him, which made Discord and Luna be curious about the mare Spike was talking. "The plan was a solid 8, she actually already had all the cutie marks of the village and almost captured the cutie marks of the girls, however, she made a mistake of being seen from Fluttershy as she tried to disguise her own cutie mark with makeup... I think it would have been more believable if she was the first pony who had the cutie mark and shared it with everypony... And I believe in equality, maybe even creating a cult where the ponies hated their cutie marks would have been a great way to create villain mobs... She may be right, however, I don't know the reason why she is doing this. I think the final score will be after we hear the reasons why she was doing that... And I know that she wants revenge on Twilight since she and the girls made all her village hates her and chases her as an angry mob."
After hearing the breakdown from Spike, both Discord who was playing with his food decided to teleport away and reclined himself in the air as he chuckled amused from the way Spike said.
"Okay, this mare has indeed a great potential, who knows the reason? Maybe she always dreamed to be a kind of pony but her cutie mark was the only thing making her crush her own dreams, and she found it hateful that all the ponies must follow the destiny by the pictures of their flanks." Discord let his creativity on the air, as he gave a theory that sparked the interest of Spike.
"I have to say, that would have sounded an awesome excuse for being a tyrant," Spike confessed which Princess Luna nodded her head to him.
"Or maybe her parents were launched in the dungeons because their family's cutie marks were related to a forbidden art of magic, which is a taboo that most ponies still fear for this day, and maybe she was so angry for what they did to her parents that she wants to destroy all the cutie marks." Princess Luna was the second one to suggest another possibility which made Spike think carefully as he drank his chocolate milk.
"That would indeed be a good reason as well." Spike smiled at the possible idea of what kind of villain's motivation the former mayor of an unknown village. After drinking the last drop of his chocolate, he couldn't help but raise his cup. "Hey Sunset, can you fulfill my chocolate milk?"
Hearing a groaning from a mare who was sleeping into a coach, the group couldn't help but see an orange mare who walked with her read with yellow strips mane and tail-walking towards them... with a maid outfit.
"I hate my life." Sunset groaned as she used her own magic to levitate a jar of chocolate milk and fulfilled the cup of her little brother who seemed to keep enjoying their talk as she was humiliating herself from how badly her plans were. And looking at the trio who snickered at her. "How much time I must suffer this?"
"Oh, my sweet niece... Thou knows that thou punishment will actually take a month, and knowing that thou actions have consequences... thou should have returned to Equestria when thus brother came to give advice." Princess Luna smiled sweetly at her niece, as she looked down ashamed and annoyed as she looked at the baby dragon who was chuckling.
"And oh boy, coming to equestrian and forgetting that we have 4 alicorns and a freaking draconiquess that would make you suffer if you touch Fluttershy, well, I have to confess... Your plan wasn't a bright one... And here I thought when Spike told us how you managed to manipulate everything around you for so long. You would have a 6 for the effort... and yet you managed to receive a 2..." Discord always enjoyed laughing at the face of failure villains, that's why he always awake some of them at 2 a.m and watched the face of the daughter of princess Celestia getting red in anger makes his night even better. "We know you did your best dear, but you have to confess that villainy is not for you."
"Oh come on. I would have used the humans as a meat shield, doesn't that count something?" Sunset raised her arms as she tried to make herself believable as she did her best to plan to conquer Equestria, it took years to plan her revenge...
The trio remained in silence for a few seconds, like they really took the time to appreciate their thoughts of the plan.
"Nop."
"Sorry, sis."
"I apologize, my niece."
The trio answered like it was the shameless thing they could do, making Sunset sigh in disappointment.
"Well Sunset, maybe villainy isn't a thing for you. But think about it... If villains are not for you, try to be in the team of heroes, they will always be loved by the public and there is a lot of villains who redeemed themselves into heroes. I think it's the best way for you to recover your pride." Spike noticed that there was nothing more to do. He tried to make her view from another perspective.
Sunset took a few seconds to think and appreciate the idea.
"Thanks, Spike, I was really needing something to cheer me up today. And I know the right girls who can help me to become a better pony and person." Sunset smiled as she imagined that Twilight would gladly help her.
"That, after thou finish your grounding time." And that's the moment the voice of the princess of the night made the happy face from the little princess crumble once again. "Well, thous still have more than 4 months and 2 weeks of grounding, Tia told me that thous need to learn discipline and how actually felt empathy from the others, that's why thous are working as a maid since mostly all of our maids and butlers had to deal with most nightmares every day... I think being butler of thous cousin Blueblood is what will make you feel what it was like to be in the skin of another pony."
"Damn, Blueblood will not have mercy..." Spike admitted as the trio see the pale face from the mare who seemed to have been traumatized by her prick cousin. "Well, sucks to be you, sis. HAHAHAHAHAHHA"
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA." The trio laughed, as Sunset couldn't help but slam her head on the wall trying to get herself unconscious...
"Why... why I had to make teenagers zombies? Why not kids or babies conquer the world before coming to equestrian? I could have used atomic bombs on here... it would have been far easier." Sunset asked herself before sighing in disappointment as she continued to slam her face on the wall. "I'm stupid... and now I'm paying for this humiliation, can't I have a single break?"
Sunset suddenly used so much strength that she actually felt a migraine and her mind space away as she closed her eyes before getting unconscious...
"Thank you..." Sunset mumbled before fainting, as the trio continued laughing from the worst villain plan ever made in history.
