The Twilight Prince: Omakes

Starlight 'Stormlight' Glimmer woke up bound. A quick glance at the magenta substance holding her revealed it to be - despite the colour - completely standard changeling resin. A quick channeling of magic proved her horn to be bound with a nullifier ring, an alicorn tier nullifier ring as far as she could tell. What could have possibly compelled the locals to make such a thing?

Stormlight's training kicked in, "Time to go." She spoke certainly, but her Timejumper didn't even attempt to start. Her eyes widened in panic.

"Ah, 'time to go', it's the activation phrase for those teleportation devices of yours, correct?" Spoke a powerful masculine voice, full of distain. "Cute. You'll be glad to know that those devices are safe and sound very far from here, R&D had never seen something like them before."

"How?" locals shouldn't even be able to notice any of their equipment.

"You think that this is our first time dealing with antimemetics? Hah."

The mare turned her head to the voice and found herself looking up at an alicorn stallion of a familiar purple colour. She examined the Dusk Shine. This was not the twinkish and somewhat dopey Prince of Friendship that she was familiar with. This was Dusk Shine the Ascendant God of Magic, whose very presence exuded a power that was outright oppressive. Wow, he's actually kind of hot.

Even more concerningly, the stallion had seen fit to drape himself in a small harem of mares, like some kind of barbarian conqueror. Stormlight recognized Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy instantly, although both of them had the horns and stature of newly ascended alicorns - which was concerning - next to them was Fizzlepop Berrytwist wearing a strange conical device on her broken horn, then there was the strange purple and black changeling queen - clearly still in the fallen parasite form - and finally was the dreaded Nightmare Moon herself, glaring at her with angry slitted eyes.

Actually now that Stormlight thought about it, all five mares - well four mares and one bug - were glaring at her.

"Who are you?" Came the rumbling voice of the stallion. "You aren't a mirror clone or a changeling, fiend or fay, or even an Outsider. You appear by all tests to be a completely normal unicorn mare, and are not under any kind of polymorph spells, nor do you seem to have been altered by biomancy in any way. But that can't be the case, the real Starlight Glimmer's location has been verified."

Stormlight glared up in defiance, "You won't get away with this."

The stallion laughed, "Get away with what? You were the one who trespassed in my castle, wearing the guise of one of my subjects. So I ask one more time. Who are you? What are you? Where are you from? Who do you work for? And WHY HAVE YOU SPENT THE LAST EIGHT HOURS BURYING MY CASTLE IN YOUR BROKEN CORPSES?
