The Mane six are tired of being overlooked by the citizens of Equestria.

The Mane six have been overlooked for far to long. They intend to make Ponyville and the rest of Equestria for that matter take notice. Celestia herself will soon realize how they intend to do it.
Edit: This is based on a wrestling angle from a couple years ago if anyone doesn't understand the reference.

Everything had to be perfect

The Summer Sun celebration had never been held in the same location two years in a row. But given the previous years incident with Nightmare Moon, Celestia figured an exception could be made. All the ponies in town were excited to hear they could "redo" last year so to speak. The Mayor was very adamant about making this year perfect. She promised albeit in a falsely polite manner that if anypony messed this up she would make their lives extremely unpleasant.

This meant practically everypony was working extra hard to make absolutely sure nothing goes wrong. The entire event  had been planned out to the tiniest detail. Nopony wanted to be on the receiving end of Mayor Mare's onslaught. Little did anypony know that there was another plan being perfected at the same time. This plan however, did not involve ponies having fun. Quite the opposite in fact.

Nopony had seen or heard very much of the Elements of harmony in the past week. Someponies started to wonder what exactly was keeping them from helping prepare for the Celebration. However, most ponies had no time to wonder as they were to busy with their own preparations to worry about it. Celestia and Luna themselves would be attending the event so everything had to be perfect.

"Everything has to be perfect." said Twilight Sparkle

"Yeah yeah, we've been over this a thousand times times already Twilight."said Rainbow Dash.

"And we will go over it a thousand more times so we can make sure this plan goes perfectly!" snarled Twilight.

Rainbow shrinks back in her seat after the outburst from Twilight.

"Hey there sugar cube there aint no need to go biting Rainbows head off." said Applejack putting a hoof on Twilight's shoulder reassuringly."Ya'll know were all a little on edge considering what were planning and all."

Twilight shrugs off the hoof coldly.

"Perhaps Applejack, but if we expect to pull this off all of us need to control our emotions." said twilight casting a glance at fluttershy huddled in the corner "All of us."

Fluttershy looks up and makes an attempt at speech but it ends up a near inaudible squee.

"Excuse me?" Twilight inquired.

"I said im just a little scared by the prospect of what were doing." said Fluttershy just barely loud enough for everypony to hear her.

"Oh your scared?" asked Twilight mockingly "Well its to late for fear Fluttershy this is happening in less than two hours" said Twilight.

She then turns to the rest of the group "This has to happen tonight." Twilight pauses for effect "This is the most important thing we have ever done before."

"We can not afford to mess this up." said Twilight.

"Does anyone have anypony have anything more to add?" asked Twilight "No? Then lets make our way to greet the princess."

Or against us

The Elements of Harmony slowly got into position. Everything was going according to plan. All of the Elements had grim looks upon their faces. All except for the Element of magic who had what could be called a sadistic grin. While Celestia gave the rest of her speech unassuming the Elements readied themselves. When Celestia finished she turned towards the Elements with a smile. It quickly vanished a she saw the look upon her elements faces.

"Is there something the matter my little ponies?" Celestia asked.

They didn't answer but instead moved in closer. They began to circle Celestia and Luna like a pack of timberwolves.

"What is this?" asked Luna.

Without warning Twilight fires a large disabling beam from her horn at the sisters. This disables them for just long enough to dispatch the royal guards. They rushed to protect the princesses and were blinded by a searing light emitted from Twilight's horn. While they were trying to rub their eyes and regain vision Applejack and Rainbow Dash took them out with bucks to the face knocking them unconscious

While they dealt with the guards Rarity and Fluttershy got hold of the esteemed Mayor of Ponyville. Rarity was holding the Mayor in her magic while Mayor Mare begged for Mercy.

"Fluttershy dear, we simply do not have time to waste you have to do this now!" commanded Rarity.

"O-okay Rarity" Fluttershy managed to mutter. "Im sorry Mayor."

After her apology Fluttershy bucks the Mayor in the face as hard as she possibly can. The mayor goes down like a ton of bricks. She was knocked out cold.

"I wish I shared Fluttershy's sentiments Madame Mayor" said Rarity looking down in disgust.

Meanwhile Pinkie Pie was working crowd control. Bucking anyone trying to save their beloved Princesses. So far she was doing an admirable job as nopony had managed to break through.

When all the guards and the Mayor had been dealt with it was on to their main objective. Once again the Elements circled the princesses. Celestia began to stir and rise to her hooves. Twilight stepped forward and promptly laid another beam into Celestia. This weakened her further but still she began to rise. Twilight nods to Applejack and she steps in front of Celestia and looks her in the eyes. Applejack then turns and bucks Celestia right in her face with a sickening sound of hoof meeting skull. This shot lays Celestia out flat on her back.

Twilight then turns her gaze to Rainbow Dash and nods again. Rainbow returns the nod nervously and steps forward. Twilight then looks up and fires a beam and blows a large hole in the ceiling. Rainbow then takes flight through the hole. She flies a few hundred feet in the air and hovers momentarily. She then takes a dive to the Earth aiming directly at Celestia. She makes contact with Celestia's sternum causing catastrophic damage. Celestia was alive but completely incapacitated.

They then turn their attention to princess Luna. Applejack steps forward to give Luna the same treatment she gave her sister. But Twilight stops her and instead motions for Fluttershy to take care of Luna. Fluttershy gives a timid nod and steps forward. Luna and Fluttershy lock eyes for a few moments. Luna's eyes seem to plead with Fluttershy. But she just says a silent apology and lays into Luna with a buck in the head. She then tries to mimic Rainbow Dash's actions by taking off in the air and coming down on top of her. She manages to do so but with a lot less force. It sent an effective message regardless. Fluttershy seems astonished by her own actions. She is almost to the point of tears.                                                                                                            Twilight smiled at her handiwork. They had done what they had set out to. They had just taken out the two most powerful beings in Equestria by themselves. Weeks of planning had culminated in the best possible outcome. For over a year the Elements of Harmony had been at Princess Celestia's beck and call. No longer. The Elements are out for themselves now. And if anypony didn't know who they were already then when the news of them attacking the princesses reaches them they will become very well educated in who they are. The Elements took up a new name Nexus. And the message would soon be spread all across Equestria. You're either Nexus or against us.

Prolouge

It is a wonderful evening in Ponyville. The summer sun celebration is in full swing. All across town ponies are laughing and having fun. All except for six ponies in the local library. If anypony had been so inclined to look inside the library they definitely would have been able to feel something was wrong.

The pink pony known for her extraordinary parties is more reserved and serious than anypony has seen her in months if ever. The braggadocios rainbow mained mare has abandoned her usual head held high demeanor. The stetson wearing pony with the honest eyes looks as though she has an unpleasant task ahead of her. The timid yellow pegasus looks absolutely terrified. The stylish fashonista looks like she is having a major bad mane day with even a few hairs out of place,

And of course the princesses personal protege and now a full blown princess looks like just that a princess. She looks like a natural born leader. She is perfectly ready for the task she has set for herself and her fellow Elements of Harmony. If anypony in Equestria was unaware of the Elements of harmony they would soon be very aware.

Your either Nexus

Everypony had gathered in town hall to hear the princesses. They had been packed to the rafters to see them speak. They had no idea of what they were about to see. A small group of royal guards were gathered in front of the main stage just in case some fool had a bit to much cider and decided to try something.

Finally after what felt like an eternity to some the Mayor came on stage to give a long uninteresting introduction.

"Fillies and gentlecolts it is my honor to introduce our generous, kindhearted, benevolent,humble-"

"For bucks sake get on with it" yelled an intoxicated mare with three smiling flowers for a cutie mark.

The Mayor frowns in her general direction but continues regardless "As I was saying it is my honor to introduce Princess Celestia and Princess Luna!"

There was a deafening roar of stomping from the crowd. Everypony wanted to show their approval of their leaders. Celestia and Luna appeared from behind a curtain to even more applause. Celetia raises a foreleg in greeting to her subjects. Luna stands to the side with a small smile a little nervous attending her first Summer Sun celebration in a thousand years. She was admittedly apprehensive about how ponies would react to her after the previous years Celebration was ruined by Nightmare moon.

Finally Celestia decided to speak to her subjects "Fillies and gentlecolts I am happy to commemorate another summer solstice." she pauses "And I am even happier to celebrate it with my sister for the first time in a thousand years."

She waits for the applause to peter out and continues" However, this celebration would not be possible without the hard work of you the citizens of Ponyville."

Celestia looks over the crowd with a proud smile "And I am especially proud of my faithful student and her friends the Elements of Harmony."

Just as she finishes her statement the town hall doors burst open. Everypony in the building including the two princesses direct their attention to the commotion. Then six mares enter town hall they do not look happy.

"Well what a timely entrance fillies and gentlecolts, the Elements of Harmony!"said Celestia.

The Elements ignored the nervous half-hearted applause from the crowd and continued to approach the stage. The guards moved to intercept but Celestia ordered them to yield.

"Why don't you and the Elements join us on stage Twilight?" asked Celestia.

Twilight smiled and said "Of course Princess."
