Celestia sat in her throne room, writing on one of many documents stacked before her. The weather around Canterlot was unusually stormy. A dark omen seemed to cover the empty city streets. Soon, gunshots broke the silence. A lone human had breached the shielding. He must've destroyed the generator that created the barrier. He scoffed as he walked in, the guards being shot where they stood. Their lack of firearms proved to be their weakness and their downfall.

The Princesses, both of them, sat in the throne room together. They heard the gunshots. They knew he was coming for them. Drake continued his rampage through the palace. He knocked over furniture and broke decorations in his path, killing anyone who stood in his way. He was a one man army with a mission. And he was going to see it through. The princesses glanced up when they heard the lock being shot, then broken. The door was then booted open and Drake unleashed a flurry of rounds with an assault rifle. The guards in the room fell down one by one. Drake grinned and walked closer the Princesses.

Celestia, however, much to his surprise....was slowly, yet loudly, clapping. Sarcastically applauding him for his effort. As if it was all for naught.

Sketch and the Mane 6 sat nearby, not making any effort to protect their rulers. Drake smiled and nodded toward the injured Twilight, who just scowled at him as he walked past her. Drake soon stood before the two Princesses and brought his hands together and smiled at them.

"Greetings ladies....Princesses." He nodded to Sketch. "Brother. I have come to you....with a proposal that will work out great for one of both of us!"

When he got no response from the Princesses, he continued.

"I don't really want to kill you....Wait, scratch that. I lied. I REALLY want to kill you. I wanna shoot you both in the f***ing head right now! Really! Okay....But seriously. I want my planet back, without the ponies...and preferably without the bronies. So I thought killing you two would be the best option. But no...." He shook his head with a grin as he paced the floor. "I decided, 'Why should I kill you two when I could have you work for me?'. So here's the deal! You get off my planet, get your asses back to YOUR planet, and take the bronies with ya, and I won't blow you f***ing heads off! Oh and you two will also answer to me now."

"We will never bow to an Anti!" Luna hissed.

"Shame...really....I really wanted to keep ya. Maybe saddle ya up and ride you around a farm. Oh well. I mean this works to!" He pulled out his gun and was about to pull the trigger, when suddenly Sketch got up.

Sketch then pulled out a knife from nearby and stabbed both Princesses repeatedly in the neck. Drake watched in shock as Sketch slaughtered the two goddesses with a knife. Twilight and her friends grabbed him and pulled him away from their corpses.

"I KNEW WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TRUSTED YOU!!" Twilight screamed through her tears. "I KNEW IT! WE SHOULD'VE KILLED YOU WHEN WE HAD THE CHANCE!!" Twilight turned to Drake. "AND AS FOR YOU...." Her horn flared and she took aim at him with a powerful bolt of pure energy. Drake only took two seconds to process that before aiming and firing his gun repeatedly at Twilight. The bullets melted in mid-flight when they got close to her. Twilight fired her beam, which Drake avoided. He continued to avoid beams until he managed to flee the palace. Twilight turned to Sketch and ordered her friends to lock him in the deepest, darkest, dingiest dungeon cell they can find.

They dragged him into the dungeons and locked him up, and threw away the key. Sketch sat there in his cell, feeling guilty, but at the same time, accomplished. He finished what he had set out to do....:

Throw off his brother and save the Princesses.

Twilight soon came downstairs and approached his cell.

"The princesses are still safe in lock down at our undisclosed location like you told us to. Are you sure he won't look for them there?"
"Positive. He's going to be angry that I stole his....um...kills. So now he's going to be coming for me."
"It was a good idea to use Mirror Pool clones. I never would've thought of that! But what happens now?"
"Now we wait for him to come after me. This'll allow Celestia and Luna to figure out a way to stop him."
"But what if they're too late and he gets you?"

Sketch went silent after that...He didn't want to answer her.

"Listen, he's gone into hiding again. I'll send away the clones bodies back to the Mirror Pool, which should clean up the blood."
"Alright. You have to keep me locked up and you have to make like the leader now. Act like they're dead."
"Right....Are you sure this will work though? It seems really....backwards."

Sketch smiled at Twilight.

"Sometimes you gotta work backwards to move forwards."

Also, sorry about this chapter feeling rushed. I'll try and edit it later to make it more lengthy. But I hope this'll hold you off for a while while I update my other stories. =P
