Domination of Equestria - T+46 days.
“There she is! Get her!”
“Up on the roof!”
I wasn’t expecting to see the Princesses protege here. I’m not quite sure why I’m surprised, maybe I wasn’t giving the Princess of Friendship’s lesson enough credit. Either way, she is trying to break into the cell blocks, presumably to see if her Mistress is interred within. Needless to say, she's been disappointed.
“Master! We’ve found a route up to the spiretop!”
“Right? And?”
“You can resume pursuit of Starlight Glimmer!”
“Why?”
“Um...do you not wish her caught Master?”
“Of course I do. I just don’t see the relevance of your point.”
“How will you catch her without pursuing her?”
“She is being pursued. By Beings with wings.”
“But Master-”
“Do you see wings on me?”
“Err, no Master but-”
“Do you see regulation guardrails on that roof?”
“There are none master true bu-”
“Then why on earth do you think I would want to go up there?”
“I’m sorry Master…”
“This is why I educate you creatures. You keep bringing up these asinine ‘suggestions’, but if I don’t stop to point out why they’re dumb you’ll just keep bringing them up. Or worse, start doing them anyway.”
“I have learned my lesson, Master.”
“Good! Now, she’ll have to come down somewhere around the sewage treatment block, we can head her off if we take this corridor here…”
Overlord Rule No:76 If the hero runs up to my roof, I will not run up after him and struggle with him in an attempt to push him over the edge. I will also not engage him at the edge of a cliff. (In the middle of a rope-bridge over a river of molten lava is not even worth considering.)
Looks like those OSHA safety lessons paid off.
Note to self: install guard rails everywhere.
Would he have run up if there were safety rails up there? Or was that area just for Pegasi, so there was no need?
Those guard rails are very important.
Either way,
hershe is trying to break into1. Extra Her.
But... Starlight can teleport and self-levitate.
Then again, keep her in a state of perpetual panic and adrenaline thanks to the chase and she might not think of doing either of those things.
Still, logic once more saves the day! Or at least a few lives.
You can't forget the Starlight Glimmer was THE ONE who MODIFIED and IMPROVED a Time Travel Scroll and literally is better at magic than Twilight.
She has teleportation and can levitate, she's not just gonna go down, no no, she is going to harder to take down than flu- oh wait... I just drank a poisoned cup of water/inhaled neurotoxin.

True. But all her magical power doesn't mean jack shit, if she is unable to use it because of a certain captured Anti-Magic device.
It seems Star Wars needs to learn the importance of guard rails.
