"Any idea who's taken over the castle?" Applejack asked as she, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, and Fluttershy were all heading up to Canterlot Castle.

"No idea. Just that I got a message that the castle got taken over." Rainbow Dash said. "And I was all ready for practice too..." She added.

"Wait, how did the Wonderbolt higher ups let you off for the day?" Fluttershy asked. "Wait...never mind, I think I can guess..." She added.

"Yeah, kind of obvious: The higher ups have to take this sort of thing seriously. And if Twilight's in trouble, not only do they want her safe, but we also owe it to our friend to make sure she's safe." Rainbow Dash said as she opened the doors.

"Well at least we know you got the perfect excuse." Applejack said as the group headed for the throne room where they encountered a bound-up Flurry Heart and Cozy Glow.

"Oh seriously, again?!" Rainbow Dash said. "Three times...don't you think you're running out of options, Cozy?" She asked.

"Not really. It was so easy to deceive Flurry Heart this whole time. Getting in here, fooling Twilight into a false alarm at the crystal empire, and even selling a clever lie was all too easy." Cozy Glow said.

"Oh, you are so getting it. Wait..." Rainbow Dash looked around and noticed Pinkie Pie had already untied Flurry Heart. "...Huh..." Rainbow Dash said.

"Seriously? Didn't even wait?!" Cozy Glow exclaimed.

"Did you really expect me to wait? Now Flurry Heart is free." Pinkie Pie said.

"Oh yes, I am free." Flurry Heart said. But something seemed strange.

"Wait...somethin' ain't right." Applejack said.

"Your right...this is a trap." Flurry Heart said before her magic suddenly ensnared the entire mane six and Flurry Heart took back on her evil form.

"Spoiler alert, Flurry Heart here has kind of gone all evil because she felt underappreciated. Boy can I relate. You want to know why I wanted to remove all magic? So that no single species could be better than the others. You would have to get by on your own merits. Obviously, that didn't quite work out as you know. Of course, when I came here again with Lord Tirek and Queen Chrysalis, once we had the lot of you secure and no one able to stop us, my plan was to use the bewitching bell on the two of them, and take their powers for myself. I would've become the most powerful alicorn ever, with all the powers of both Lord Tirek and Queen Chrysalis at my disposal." Cozy Glow said. "But now, Flurry Heart was kind enough to let me get on, on her take over plans. I don't mind sharing with her, as I can just tell that she and I are simply too smart for our own good. She's just like me in that sense." She added.

"Just like you? What the buck does that mean, you psychotic pegasus!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed.

"You only think I'm psychotic, when in reality, I'm a super genius. It's true, I've got an IQ of three hundred. Do you know how boring that makes a game of chess when you've got the IQ of a super genius? I'll tell you: It's just as boring as Rainbow Dash would find Chess to begin with. The game just isn't fun when your mind is capable of running laps around your opponent." Cozy Glow said.

"Heh...go figure. Considering how elegant your plan to take over the school of friendship was, you had almost every angle covered. In fact, if it weren't for the tree of harmony saving the student six at the last minute, this wouldn't even be happening right now." Flurry Heart said.

"Yeah, not going to lie...you had a pretty big brain type of plan." Rainbow Dash said.

"And see, that's the problem for someone like me: I'm just too smart for my own good. No matter what type of mental challenge I put myself against, I'm always the superior mind at the helm. Because that's just the type of person I am. Everything else is just so boring." Cozy Glow said. "Luckily for me, I've finally found someone who I believe to be my equal in intelligence. What Flurry Heart has come up with and the plans she's created...it's something that's very easy for someone like me to come up with." She added.

"Wait...you mean...Flurry Heart you're..." Pinkie Pie trailed off.

"Yes; I too am a super genius. Of course, I may be outcasted a different way then Cozy Glow, but her brilliant mind is what helped set this whole trap into motion. By the time Twilight gets back from the Crystal Empire, it'll be too late to stop me." Flurry Heart said.

"What do you mean? What did you do?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Let's just say, we made sure Twilight was going to be super busy for a while." Cozy Glow said.

"Enough talk, time to join my empire! Oh, and watch the clock on you five go back quite a bit." Flurry Heart said. Her magic suddenly made the remaining elements become much younger by about five years. What's more, however, is that the remaining elements became brainwashed.

"Oh, this is so perfect. Now's your chance Flurry Heart; activate that other spell." Cozy Glow said. "Best strike while the iron is hot after all." She added.

"Heh...I was thinking the same thing. But first..." Flurry Heart then suddenly conjured...the crystal heart?!

"...Wait, didn't we leave that thing in the Crystal Empire?" Cozy Glow asked, confused. "Wait...unless...that's not the same heart, is it?" She asked.

"Heh...quite the keen observation you've made. This is a new crystal heart that I personally crafted. I've made several of these. I have quite the knack at making them. With these, I can corrupt everyone in an entire city all at once, only exempting those I want to." Flurry Heart said.

"Wow, it's just like I thought: You really are a super genius." Cozy Glow noted, an evil grin on her face.

"But of course, what did you expect?" Flurry Heart asked, returning the evil grin.

Author's Note

I know Sweetie Belle wasn't in this chapter, but here's an evil version of her anyways. This is the only one I could find, and it's obviously based on Nightmare Rarity. Just imagine this but with her having her cutie mark.
