Previous ChapterNext ChapterTWO DAYS AFTER THE FALL OF PONYVILLE
It's been two whole days since Rarity had any of her friends as she was in a carriage along with her little sister, Sweetie Belle, going straight to the Griffonstone castle. Both the unicorn mare and filly had magic blocking rings on their horns to stop any magic they wanted to try any escape plans. Sweetie Belle was laying down on her side asleep as Rarity was still awake thinking about the young griffon, Gallus, said about a 'chip' for herself and her little sister. But the unicorn mare didn't time to think it over as the carriage stopped in the courtyard of the castle and that made Sweetie Belle wake up from the small bump after the stop. Then both the unicorn mare and filly was taken inside the castle by a few griffon guards and after a few rights and lefts they came to a stop in front of a guess room with the door open. "The filly will be staying here for a little bit." One of the guards said as a other guard took Sweetie Belle inside the room before coming out alone and locking the door behind him. "The emperor wants to see you in his study room." The griffon guard said to Rarity.
"Why does he wants to see me?" Rarity demanded. "And do l know you won't hurt my sister."
"Because we have orders not to do anything to both you are your sister. That is all." After the griffon guard said that both he and a other guard took Rarity down the hallway while the third guard stays in front of the door to make sure that no one goes inside and get out. Rarity hates that she was leaving her little sister behind but clearly she doesn't have a choice in the matter as she was taken to some stairs. After going up about two floors and a right turn she finds a wooden door with the words 'Study Room' before one of the griffon guards opens the door and pushed Rarity in the room alone and the door behind closing the door behind her.
"That no good brute." Rarity muttered. "Does he know how to treat a lady."
"My guards knows only thing actually.... how to protect their home." Came a voice that made Rarity to look behind her to see that the room was painted white from the walls to the ceiling and golden carpet on the floors including bookshelfs on three out of four walls completely full of griffon history and finally a wooden table in the middle with two chairs with a male drakegriff sitting in one of them. The drakegriff was wearing a red coat with golden edges on the sleeves and collar while also wearing a pair of drak green pants. He also had a amulet around his neck that kinda likes the top half of a griffon head. "A pleasure to meet Ms. Rarity Belle. I am Dark Razor, emperor of the United Griffon Front."
"Well at least some of you knows how to be a gentleman." Rarity remarked. "But mind telling me why l am here."
"Have a load off and l will tell you." Rarity clearly doesn't trust Dark Razor but she was still wondering why she was in the room with the emperor himself so the unicorn mare decided to sit down on the second chair. "It is good to see you in person Ms. Rarity Belle.... or should l call your majesty."
Rarity's eyes widened for a split second before she shakes off the fear and asked. "How did you just called me that?"
"Oh please. Do you really think that l don't know that a unicorn mare princess that looks like your mother runs away from the kingdom of Unicornia to be with the love of her life, which who happens to be your farther and a also blacksmith, and wanted nothing more than to have a family and live for the rest of their lives happy." Now Rarity was worried because now the drakegriff knows about her family's pass and how her mother was the princess while her farther was only a blacksmith. "And l'am only getting started. I also know that your cousin, Prince Blueblood, was only faking that act during that party you went to and have your 'first' meeting with him because he cares about his family and county he was born in." Rarity was now in full panic mode because now Dark Razor completely knows that Prince Blueblood is really her cousin. "Tell me does your little sister knows that she is actually royal blood."
"Of course she doesn't know." Rarity snapped. "I only know this l was only old enough for mother and father to tell me that they love each other that they run away from Unicornia to start over their lives. And how do you know about all of this."
"I have my sources." Dark Razor said with a smirk. "Now that part is out of the way tell me have you heard anything from your parents before my attack on your little town of yours."
"No why?" Dark Razor only answer with him grabbing a newspaper off of the table and handing it over to Rarity. She can see that it was from Unicornia and what was on the front page made her blood run cold.

Rarity couldn't believe her eyes as she was reading the front page over and over with tears fixing to fall. "N-no this can't be." Soon her sadness turned into rage as she turned to Dark Razor. "What. Did. You. Do." She growled.
"The only way to get Unicornia's attention." That was enough to make Rarity to jumped over the table and grabs Dark Razor by his coat. "Tell me one good reason why l shouldn't kill you right now?"
"Because the kingdom of Unicornia will be attack by the minotaurs if you don't go there."
That got Rarity to look at Dark Razor in completely shock. "W-what?"
"You see it's like this." Dark Razor said while getting the unicorn mare off of him. "Your other cousin and queen of Unicornia, Queen Majesty, wants both you and your little sister back in Unicornia territories as soon as possible. But she can't do that while she is on the blink of war with the minotaurs increasing their forces at their boarder. I have very close connects in the Minotaur Confederacy and l could make sure that war doesn't come to Unicornia. Queen Majesty will be grateful when she hears l stopped a incoming war and even more grateful when l give both of her cousins still alive to her."
But Rarity feels something was not right about something. "But why give both me and Sweetie Belle without a price?"
"Ahh that's where you are wrong. I do have a price. With war not coming and the both of you are safety back in your cousin's embarrass l will only asked one thing in return. Your last cousin of the Blueblood siblings Bluebell. Of course that is if you agree to go back to your parents birth place and stop the minotaurs from enslaving a whole kingdom." Rarity just couldn't believe that the choice was up to her but there was something that she just couldn't understand.
"Why do you need Bluebell? She's just a kine and sweet unicorn that on one wants to get rid of."
"I need her for a project of my. That's all you need to know. So will you sacrifice a whole kingdom just for one mare or will you sacrifice one mare for a whole kingdom? Chose."
Rarity was completely ridded in half. On one hand she can save a entire kingdom but she will loose one out of three of her cousins. While on the other hand she can save her cousin but every stallion, mate, filly, colt, and new born foal in Unicornia will ended up being enslaved by the Minotaur Confederacy. "Well?" Dark Razor asked. "What's your chance? Have your cousin enslaved or a whole kingdom enslaved?" Between the two chances Rarity can pick the only honorable one she has.

ONE WEEK AFTER THE FALL OF PONYVILLE
At the boarders of Unicornia and the U.G.F. was nothing more than a few trees and a whole lot of grass but there was a purple carriage surrounded by a whole squad of Unicornia soldiers wearing dark sky blue body armor and there was also three unicorns standing in front of them. The first one was Prince Blueblood wearing a business office suit. The second one was Bluebell the twin sister of Blueblood wearing a light blue sun dress. And the third one was the blues little sister Queen Majesty who was a unicorn mare with sky blue fur coat, a golden mane and tail with some spots of white, and wearing a bright yellow sun dress. All three of them was waiting for a hour now until they see a carriage being pulled by timber wolfs with a group of hippogriff soldiers flying above it.
The carriage stopped about ten yards from the Unicornians and one of the doors open to let Dark Razor to come out wearing a black jacket with sliver edges on the sleeves and collar. He was also wearing a chainmail loincloth and finally his amulet around his neck. Both the unicorn queen and the drakegriff emperor began to walked towards each other until both of them was only a few feet away. "Queen Majesty it is a honor to finally meet you in person." Dark Razor said with a small bow before getting back up.
"You can skip the friendly meeting play Razor." Queen Majesty snapped. "You might have called off the minotaurs from attacking my home but many noblemen from my kingdom don't trust you because how you united all have the griffon kingdoms under your rule and franking l agree with them." Then she gets in front of Dark Razor's face. "And don't you think that l know what your assassins did to my aunt and uncle. Now where are my cousins?" Dark Razor just smirk before he snaps his fingers from his right clawed hand and both Rarity and Sweetie Belle came out of the carriage with them only wearing purple sun dresses. Queen Majesty can see that both of her cousins was still alright besides them having magic blocking rings on their horns before she turns back to the drakegriff emperor. "Return them. NOW."
"They are my bargaining chip your highness. Now where is yours hmmm." Queen Majesty growled after Dark Razor said that but she knows that she doesn't have a choice so she turns back to her older siblings and walks to them.
"It's time you guys." Both Blueblood and Bluebell lower their heads with sadness both the turned on each and gives a hug on one a other.
"Goodbye Bluebell." Blueblood said before letting go of his twin sister.
"Goodbye Blueblood. You too Majesty."
"Please (sniff) let's... get this over with." Queen Majesty said before drying up some tears that was trying to escape her eyes. Soon both Queen Majesty and Bluebell was walking together towards Dark Razor who has both Rarity and Sweetie Belle next to him. After a minute of slow walking both unicorn mares was in front of Dark Razor. "Here is Bluebell your highness."
"Very good, very good." Dark Razor said while looking at the mare he needs for his project. Then he feels his right shoulder was being tapped on making him to turn to Rarity.
"Can l please have a moment with Bluebell." Rarity asked.
Dark Razor only smirk before saying. ''Make it fast." Then he left for his carriage as Queen Majesty took Sweetie Belle to her's.
Then Rarity gave Bluebell a great big hug and her cousin did the same. "Oh Bluebell." Rarity cried. "I'am so sorry you have to go through with this."
"It's ok Rarity." Bluebell said as they both let go of each other and they both looked in the other right in the eyes. "If l was in your place l would have made the same way to make sure that no one can destroy a whole kingdom."
"But l feel like l have betrayed my whole family."
"Don't be so sorry for yourself. I would have just given up myself if anything would happen to both you and Sweetie Belle." Then Bluebell can see that Dark Razor was giving her a all knowing kind of a look telling her to hurry up. "Goodbye Rarity. Make sure that Sweetie Belle has a good life."
"I will. I promise." Then the unicorn mares gives each other one more hug before they let go and went off their different ways. Rarity got to the Unicornia carriage and got on board just before it was being pulled away by two giant white wolves.
Bluebell got to Dark Razor's side of the field and before she knows what's going on two hippogriff soldiers came behind her to handcuffed her hands behind her back and a other hippogriff soldier in front of her to put a magic blocking ring on her horn. "Just a quick something in case you were gonna do something." Dark Razor said getting a hateful look from the unicorn mare right before she hears a explosion causing her and the drakegriff emperor to see that the royal Unicornia carriage was up in flames. Bluebell was shock at first before she turns around to face Dark Razor but the drakegriff used his amulet to put a sleeping spell on the unicorn mare and a hippogriff soldier was able to catch her right before she hit the ground. "Take her inside the carriage.'' Dark Razor ordered and the soldier nodded just as the drakegriff face a other soldier. "Send word to the minotaurs that the royal bloodline of Unicornia has been killed off and they can begin their invasion." The soldier nodded and begins flying to Minotaur territory. Dark Razor mean while was trying how perfect his assassins got to Unicornia at night to place a magic bomb on the carriage of the royalty of Unicornia that way his slave trading can go even farther. "So much for Blueblood, Queen Majesty, Sweetie Belle, and especially Ms. Rarity Belle."
