Thirty Minute Ponies Collection

A stallion steps in front of a camera and makes a few adjustments to it, then begins speaking.

All right, here goes. I will send this video along to the proper authorities. I’m not really sure why I’m recording this, but what the hay. My name is not important, my past irrelevant. What matters is what I am about to do, and why.

Ever since the changeling incident, things have not been the same. Ponies who never felt threatened a day in their lives put locks on their doors, while others moved away. Everyone who tells you they weren’t affected by it is lying, and when it comes to matters of national security, I don’t think they should have to hide their feelings about it.

Let’s take a look back at some of Equestria’s enemies, shall we?

First, there was Discord. He was sealed away. Twice. That’s just the thing, he came back. How do you know he won’t do it again? What measures have been taken to prevent him from returning again?

Then there was Nightmare Moon. Believe me, I say this with the utmost respect for you and your sister, but I still can’t trust her. Not after what she’s done. Twice.

Can you see the pattern forming here? All who have tried to destroy or take over our land have tried to do so, not just once, but twice. I’ve always thought of myself as a patriot, but if this is what I can expect from the place I call home, then that view could be seriously skewed.

This all comes up to the next attack on our fair country, the changeling invasion. While they were no doubt quickly ousted from Canterlot, there was no foul consequence to them. No repercussion, no punishment, nothing. And if history repeats itself, which it usually does, they are going to come back and try again. That’s why I’ve decided that I simply will not allow it.

I found out where the changelings have been gathering, and I am going there today. I’ve done my research. If I have done this right, if everything goes how I think it will, then the changelings won’t be a problem anymore. I’m sure with your political contacts and such that you will have heard about the explosion, about the attack on the changeling army.

I only do this because the one we call ‘Princess’ has not heard the voice of the ones calling for war. Instead, she hopes that the problems will simply disappear. I’m sorry if saying these things shock you, Princess Celestia, but I cannot keep my thoughts to myself any longer.

Because no one else would, I will.

The stallion reaches forward and the recording stops.
