Twilight Sparkle comes to, but when she does, she is still underground, but in a prison cell. Fortunately, there were a few splints sitting in the back corner, with some bandaging and a note attached. The note read:

“For You.
-Grey Shepherd.”

Twilight applied the splints and the bandages to her busted leg. After doing so, she looked out her cell at the cell across from hers. In it was a familiar friend. “Why would Derpy be in there?” Derpy looked over towards Twilight and asked, “What are you doing down here, Twilight? What am I doing down here? I JUST DON’T KNOW WHAT WENT WRONG!”.

Derpy also had a cellmate, Lyra, who was sitting in the back corner of the cell crying, wearing a straight jacket. Twilight asked Lyra why she was in there, and she responded, “I’ve been studying the science of anthropology for years. I know humans exist, oh yes, but I just get called a madmare whenever I try to tell anyone!” She continues crying.

Twilight looks around her cell for some stuff, and finds nothing that isn’t attached to the wall. She then notices a dark figure in the back corner. She can tell by the shape that it’s not a unicorn. It leaves the corner to reveal it’s face. It looks like... Fluttershy! Fluttershy is furious, and proceeded to tackle Twilight with surprising amounts of force. Twilight was amazed to see Fluttershy gather so much rage and strength. Twilight uses her magic to lift Fluttershy off of herself, and throws her into a wall.

Fluttershy is stunned by this impact. As a battle-scarred Twilight Sparkle approaches her, she transforms. Turns out Fluttershy was an anonymous changling. This changling begins to cower. Twilight stopped to think to herself that her luck may have turned. Twilight proposes an offer of friendship to the changling. The changling submits itself, and Twilight wispers a plan into it’s ear and the changeling nods.

The changeling shapeshifts into Twilight Sparkle. Derpy looks over, and says nothing. Twilight teleports Fake Twilight through the jail bars, and a guard notices it. The guard yells, “ESCAPEE! GET HER!”. Fake Twilight flees, and several royal guards chase her. With the guards out of her way, Twilight Sparkle warps herself, Derpy, and Lyra out of their cells, and places Lyra on Derpy’s back. They then leave through the exit which the royal guards were guarding, leaving Fake Twilight behind because she was beyond saving.

Twilight, Derpy, and Lyra were headed down a hallway, at the end of which were two royal guards. They noticed the three escapees, and flew at Twilight, Derpy an Lyra getting into cover. The guards pinned Twilight down, and were punching the hell out of Twilight with their hooves. Derpy put Lyra down and flew recklessly into this mess, incapacitating one of the guards. Twilight used her magic to push the other guard into the wall as hard as she could, knocking him out. Derpy picked Lyra back up, and followed Twilight through the door out of there.

Just out the door was the stage in front of Ponyville town hall, where Rarity was giving a speech, wearing a beautiful hat. Rarity said, “Now, I can assure all of you that you’re safe here in Ponyville. That murderous... ruffian, Twilight Sparkle, is now in custody, and there’s no way she’s getting out!”. Twilight peeks around the corner to find Spike in the front row. Spike looks around and spots Twilight. Spike opens his mouth to yell something, but Twilight begins to use her magic to bash Spike’s head against the edge of the stage rabidly and rapidly. Twilight kept doing it until Spike’s head was smashed open and blood and brain bits flew everywhere. Everypony did nothing but watch in awe. Rarity cringed in disgust.

Out the corner of her eye, Rarity sees Twilight and screams. As she did this, Derpy puts Lyra down and pounces again. Rarity ducks in time to avoid this attack, causing Derpy to overshoot into a bush. Derpy did, however, directly hit Rarity’s hat, which was concealing a revolver, which was engraved with various fancy patterns. Rarity levitates her revolver and points it in Twilight’s general direction. Twilight dives to her right, Rarity shoots, and hits Lyra’s leg. Lyra is stuck on the ground, screaming in pain.

“I was hoping it’d never get down to this...”, Rarity said in a hesitant tone of voice, “I’m not even sure if this thing is for shooting, and even so, I know what has to be done.” Tears are now visible in Rarity’s eyes, and as she’s about to fire again, she is thrown into an inconsolable emotional breakdown, laying on the floor and crying uncontrollably, followed by suddenly pointing the gun at her head and shooting herself, blowing her brains onto the floor.

There was no pity, remorse, or moral sentiment of any kind to be found in Twilight’s face as one of her few remaining friends committed suicide before her very eyes. Everypony else was shocked at this event. Everypony was slowly closing in on Twilight, when she picked up Lyra with her magic. Derpy sprung out of the bush, swooped Twilight into the air and began to fly away.

A large group of unicorns lined up on the stage, and began shooting balls of magical energy into the sky. With such a terrible lack of precision, these shots never did hit Twilight or Derpy. However, one shot hit Lyra in the face, causing head to burst into a thick splotch of blood, which spashed all over Derpy and Twilight. Derpy, in a shock of panic, lost all control and crashed into the Everfree Forest.

“Yep. They’re goners,” said a stallion. “Good riddence,” said a random mare. Little did anypony know, this crisis was not quite over...
