CYOA: A Day in Ponyville

You march on Twilight's tower with recruited soldiers making a merry stamping of their hooves all around you. "Yes, loyal minions. Today we finish our conquest of this town! There's no room for a princess when a queen stands before you! Twilight Sparkle is through."

Your ponies stomp the ground harder in unison, chanting your name over and over. They push on towards the door to Twilight's library, battering it open easily under their combined weight. Inside they find her, lying back with a book in her lap.

She opens one eye lazily. "Can I help you?"

You clear your throat. "Today, you bow before your new queen!"

She laughs lightly. "Okay, what? Are you joking right now?"

"No joke." You step off your wagon. "A princess is only helpful when she is beneath a queen. I am that queen. You see where I'm going, hm?"

Twilight snorts, lifting her head to look at you. "So, you came to get rid of me?"

You approach, menacingly. "Oh yes. Why have a princess when you can have a queen?" You clap your hooves with a feral smile. "But I'm a generous ruler. Bow and stand beneath me, and we can avoid any suffering."

She slams the book closed. "I think not. Nopony makes Twilight Sparkle bow before them." She stands, head raised high. "I will take you down." Her horn glows and you find yourself at the business end of an array of swirling and deadly magical energy.

You:

A: Use your army as cover.

B: Counter her with your own royal magic.
