(Cadence POV)

It was two hours since Discord had told us of their arrival, the little yellow thing was standing in front of us. It looked at us “My name is Sarah, it’s pleasure to make your acquaintance.” A sky blue dragon just landed behind her, two Earth Ponies stepping off the dragon’s back as an Alicorn that looked a lot like Celestia. The dragon then turned into a Pegasus.

Luna gasped “Rainbow Dash, Applejack. I thought you were dead!”

Rainbow Dash smirked “That’s partially true, partially not but that is story for another day. We are just here to make sure this goes smoothly. Now I know what Sarah has done has been quite drastic but if you felt what she has felt you would understand Princess.” Luna and I guided them through the castle into a large empty room with a single table in the middle.

They entered first taking a seat, we entered afterwards. Luna lead with the question “What do you want other than the obvious control of the nation?”

Sarah smiled “That was the main objective, although I would like your assistance in ruling the nation. I only have so much knowledge to work with but I will definitely be making some big changes. The arrogance of the noble class needs to be squashed, I also wish to bring the all pony races closer. That means being harsher against to those who go against that.”

Luna nodded “I see, I understand that you intend to use violence if necessary.”

Sarah nodded “I will put it into law that any of these things are punishable by death. I consider such things bordering on treason.”

I was appalled, I shouted “Do you know what you are suggesting!”

Sarah turned to me “I am here to make this nation better even if the rest of history will call me a monster, so be it! If the worlds hates me, then I will live with that. I not here to be the ruler you want but monster you need. Ideals alone can’t save the world, actions must be taken and I am the one to bare that burden.”

I didn't like what she was intending to do but I couldn’t really stop her, I sighed “Fine but the repercussions are on your head. I take no responsibility for any of the troubles that come from this.” I didn't wish to be in there anymore.

(Applejack POV)

This whole surrender discussion was going well, I didn’t pay much heed to the conversation. Apple Bloom was fidgeting, I did notice that Celestia did poke her face in but left rather promptly. She was smaller than I member although that was likely caused by losing Daybreaker. All of it was fine until we were interrupted by a knock at the door. Luna opened it only for a pink blur to fly in crashing into Rainbow.

I chuckled as Pinkie Pie was attached to Rainbow’s face. I smiled “We’ll handle this, Ah’ll make you are not disturbed further.” With that, Apple Bloom and I alongside Rainbow left the room. Twilight, Fluttershy and Rarity were also there. I smiled “It’s good to all of ya, how has everything been.”

Fluttershy frowned “That incident in town affected all of us quite badly. How are you here anyway if you don’t mind me asking?”

Rainbow pulled Pinkie Pie off her face “Well, we were stuck in Sarah’s mind. She was that little girl in the raincoat, she gave us new bodies and new powers. It is really awesome!”

Rarity raised an eyebrow “You forgive her for everything.”

I nodded “Imagine an insatiable hunger that consumes all reason and logic, leaving behind nothing but the hunger to drive you. We felt what she felt, the only thing that removes the hunger is the flesh of something. If the creature still alive when consumed, the hunger will be staved off for longer. Non-animal matter isn’t very effective at holding off the hunger.”

Twilight raised an eyebrow “Why didn’t you come back?”

Apple Bloom answered “Sarah needed our help, we helped her takeover Manehatten. Now she is going to be taking of control of Equestria, it just happened far faster than we expected. We were planning for a war. Ah’m glad Princess Luna saw the reasoning in this or else there would be a huge mess left behind.”

Fluttershy smiled “Well I hope I see you back in Ponyville soon, everypony will be happy to see you again. Your family will be happy to see you return home.”

I smiled “Sarah will be staying in Canterlot, so we could very easily return home. I’m sure she will understand our reasoning to wish to return to Ponyville.” I would be glad to return home after all of this chaos has settled down.

(Sarah POV)

I smiled at both Luna and Cadence “Thank you both, I’m hoping you too will both assist me in writing out the news laws that need to be passed. I also wish to see your sister as well when we have time.”

Luna frowned “Celestia didn’t approve of this, I doubt she would wish to see you.” She then turned to Daybreaker “Also I think the fact that you gave her dark side a body will definitely rub her the wrong way. I know if I met the person who brought Nightmare Moon into a physical from separate from me I would be quite upset.”

Daybreaker frowned “I can understand that, I am the representation of everything that Celestia repressed. She would hate me but if she wishes to have any say in the future of the nation then she must accept that I am going to be around.”

Cadence frowned “I’m surprised you didn’t put many terms.”

I frowned “When I am in charge, I will be able to make whatever changes I deem fit so asking for them is a moot point.” I smiled “Well let's get started, no point wasting time.” We exited the room only to see Rainbow, Applejack and Apple Bloom waiting outside.

Applejack looked to me “I wish to ask, is it okay for us to return to Ponyville.”

I smiled “Sure, I will contact your over the link if I need anything from you.” I nodded as the three of them heading in one direction while they headed towards the castle entrance.

Author's Note

I am hoping to focus more on Ponyville, making these next few chapters longer too.
