Equestria's Seize

   Canterlot: May 9: The Day of Celestia's Execution

Twilight woke up in a big room with four cameras pointed at her. "Aah, you're finally awake, I was getting tired of waiting!" said a voice.

"Who are you?! And where am I?! " Asked Twilight, angrily.

"Who I am doesn't matter, and you are in Canterlot." Said the voice.

"Canterlot? But..." Twilight was terrified. She has been all over Canterlot and she doesn't remember this room.

"I have some things for you, 'princess', first is a weapon. I have plenty of those."

"A weapon? Why?" Twilight wondered.

"You need one so we can see if you get by to save your beloved ruler, Celestia, from dying."

"No! No no no no no!" Twilight kicked the wall,"What's the weapon?"

"You mean weapons, you're not going to get anywhere with just a... a grenade to help you! No! That's just dangerous! Now here are your weapons. Try to practice using them before you kill yourself." A large metal box appeared in the corner of the room. It opened itself, revealing a suit of armor. Twilight fitted it on herself, but when pressed a small button with text above it that read "SAFETY OFF", she shot herself. In the hoof. She didn't die, she only bled a little.

"Ouch! That looks like it hurts! There are bandages in the box, and a couple grenades too, just don't set them off!" Said the voice. "If you save Celestia, we will pack our bags and leave. If you fail, we stay, Celestia dies, and your friend, Applejack, will join me and help take control of Equestria"

"Oh and just in case, have this nice little manual. Hope you like to read."

"I do...." said Twilight, slightly confused. She picked the small little booklet up from the chest. The title read "how to use your weapons,"

She started reading it. While she was reading it, she shot at the wall a few times. When she finished reading, The door opened by itself. When she exited the room into Canterlot, red lights started flashing, alerting that she was a threat. "Intruder! Outside of the castle! Now!" The same mysterious voice said, now serious.

Twilight stared at her right, trying to process where she was. The voice said she was outside of the castle, but which entrance?! She quickly ran forward to the center of Canterlot, knowing that most executions happen in the center of the village, or in this case, kingdom. Twilight thought for a moment. Why did they let her go? Why did they risk losing soldiers? Twilight kept running. She heard a large crash behind her. When she looked, there was a huge explosion. She started to sprint. One of the buildings next to her collapsed. Six stallions started walking towards her, aiming their guns at her head. She ducked, while shooting one of the soldiers in the neck, forcing him to fall. They started to shoot. "CEASE FIRE! DON'T SHOOT!" Said a strong voice behind them.

"Yes sir!" The soldiers walked away, revealing a golden pony with an orange mane. Twilight thought for a moment. She knew who it was. It was the voice. She violently opened fire on the mysterious colt, but nothing happened to him. Only a little scratch above his right eye, making him look slightly helpless. Twi then realized he had two soldiers behind him, one looked familiar, and was a mare, not a stallion. Twilight also knew who she was, and she was shocked. It was A.J.! Applejack didn't look armed, except she wore armor that kept her from getting shot. The colt laughed violently, making it look like he was dying. Three soldiers appeared behind Twi, armed and dangerous, except one thing, they weren't pointing  their guns at her. They were pointing them at the mysterious colt, who looked like he was happy about this. One of the soldiers behind Twi started to speak, "Lye Allote, we declare immediate war against your army, and when we win, you leave this country alone! What do you say?"

"If my army wins, you all get executed, all except for the princess! I have plans for her!"

"Let's do this then, you get your soldiers prepared, and I get mine!"

"Okay, 'let's do this then'" mocked the colt.

"Let's start this! Come now princess! We must keep you safe! You need better armor! Take your friend as well!" said the Stallion.

"Okay," said Twi, gesturing Applejack to follow. She did as told, and followed the others to the base. Lye was betrayed, and was actually happy! HAPPINESS FOR THE WIN! Now things were serious, like they always have been. The war was to start.
