After a few moments, and seeing that the ambassadors had not moved, Twilight stood up, all the guards of Ambassador Whisperwind immediately lifted their claws and tried to pick up several apparently hidden objects in their robes, however, Twilight simply tilted her head to one side, a loud buzzing sound reverberating in stone and marble, and several small objects were flying towards the princess from the guards' robes, and stuck against the armor of the young Spartan.
"Interesting, this is supposed to be a diplomatic chatter ambassador," Twilight said slowly, "however, your guards are armed, ignoring various laws and protocols, tell me why I would not put them in the dungeons for regicide attempt? " The purple mare said in a whisper, her eyes narrowing a little.
"How ..." one of the guards asked, amazed and a bit intimidated by the princess's enormous armor.
"Easy, actually," the former librarian replied, "these weapons still have metal components with high iron content, any self-respecting magician could have done a magnet spell, ripping these weapons from your claws, as for how I do it in particular, my armor has an standard magnetic clamps to magnetize certain parts to be able to load and carry weapons more easily, the only thing I did was to overload the magnet. "
"And you think it prudent to give us information like this without any kind of regard on security protocols, Your Majesty?" Redsnow said, putting his claw in his chest and bowing his head slightly in reverence.
"It's not really relevant information, this system has been in effect for about twenty years or so." Twilight answered with confidence, "I currently helped to design and implement the repulsion system, which is the system I used to confiscate their weapons "continued the princess, a smile on her face, pointing her finger to the stunned guards.
"Besides, I suppose the spies of Chrysalis or you have spread the rumor that these weapons could not be magnetized, trusting that our subjects would not try to snatch their rifles from their hands, would they?" Twilight continued, ignoring the uncomfortable glances between the guards, "However, I just heard that the ambassador said that you were coming to end the war, is that correct?" Twilight finally returned to sit on the floor, which made a noise like stones grinding to each other, looking at the griffons, scrutinizing their faces for some response.
"Uh ... yeah, your highness," Redsnow said, slightly out of his mind after seeing what had happened, "but first of all I wanted to apologize for the poor attitude of the ambassador's guards ..." the veteran general said , Again bowing his head.
"WHAT!" Whisperwind said, livid, "WE ARE PREDATORS, I WILL NOT APOLOGIZE FOR SOMETHING SO ELEMENTAL AS TO KEEP MY OWN SAFETY IN ENEMY TERRITORY!"
"AMBASSADOR!" The general shouted back, already fed up with the behavior of the obese griffon, "YOU ARE DESTROYING THE IMAGE OF THE EMPEROR AND HIS HONOR, I DO NOT WANT TO REPEAT THIS, PERHAPS YOU ARE THE EMPEROR'S VOICE BUT RIGHT NOW I AM IN CHARGE FOR THIS OPERATION AND HOW THE THINGS CURRENTLY ARE, I WOULD NOT CARE THAT THEY WILL ARREST YOU IN ENEMY TERRITORY, I AM SICK AND TIRED OF THIS WAR, SO DON'T TEMPT ME!" the black griffon tirade continued, showing his talons to the yellow griffon in anger.
"As if you have a choice, general," Twilight said suddenly, "I just got notice that Blueblood was conspiring with someone on your country to attempt to make Equestria surrender, and now, with all this evidence that I have magnetized to me, I am afraid that I need to arrest Whisperwind" the spartan said, getting up in a fluid motion, "also I would like to point you that two of your guards are actually Changelings, general."
"What!" Redsnow said, only for him to get knocked to the ground, the wind expelled out of his lungs by a tackle made by one of the ambassador's guards, which was currently enveloped in green flames, and soon, the guard was replaced by a huge black changeling.
"Damn it was good to get out of that disguise" the bug pony said, cracking his neck, "now, I only need to kill the general and make the fat chicken send a signal and all this place will crumble to the ground!" turning around, he was surprised when he couldn't find the general, instead, he found a wide barrel pointed to his face.
"Howdy there!" Applejack said, pulling the trigger, and making the changeling's head to literally explode when the shotgun fired at point blank range, while the changeling was shedding his disguise, a cloaked Applejack was sulking in the shadows, and taking the general in one arm, she demagnetized her shotgun just in time to find the changeling looking at the business end of her trusty weapon.
Meanwhile the other changeling just shed his disguise, and getting a dagger from the floor, made a beeline to the downed ambassador, not noticing the lacking of a purple giant in the room
"EVERYONE, STAY PUT!" the changeling roared, choking the ambassador with one hoof and pressing the dagger to his neck, "IF ANYONE MOVES THE AMBASSADOR DIES, NOT BEFORE ORDERING THE AIRSHIPS TO BEGIN A BOMBARDMENT ON YOUR CAPITAL CITY!" the bug yelled, gaining the undivided attention of all in the room, "NOW, YOU," he said, moving his head towards AJ, "PUT YOUR WEAPON DOWN, AND MAKE THE PURPLE ONE..." whatever he was going to say was missed when a purple fist came from above, crushing the head of the would be assassin.
"Never EVER" Twilight said, punching again for a good measure, "threat my home again, you hear me, you traitorous bastard!"
"He is dead," a coarse double layered voice said suddenly, perking her ears, Twilight found a third changeling near the door, "and so are you, you pitiful equine!"
"Chrysalis," Twilight spat, "what are you meaning by that" the lavender alicorn stood up, her left hand caked in changeling blood.
"Oh nothing," the changeling queen answered casually, "over the fact that you attacked the ambassador and his entourage, and killed the fabled general Redsnow, nothing will stop now the five ships that are coming to strike at Canterlot, face it, you failed, I win, also with Redsnow killed, the griffons shortly would arrive to the destroyed Manehattan and raze all Equestria to the ground! I won, you stupid nag!" the puppet broke over in evil laughter, but suddenly, a new voice joined, startling Chrysalis when she noticed that was Twilight who was laughing beside her.
"What is so funny, you whorse!" the queen asked in fury, "I just ordered all my children aboard the griffin destroyers to open fire on your pitiful capital!"
"Chrysalis" A voice said, making the puppet to open its eyes in fear, "I am not dead, and I just heard all the ploy that you have for us!" redsnow roared, jumping towards the puppet, killing intent present in the old griffin.
"WAIT!" Twilight yelled, also firing her magic and stopping the general mid flight, turning around and facing again the puppet, a smirk in her face, "tell me, queen, what did you do with the griffons on those ships?"
"All of them are cocooned and being reconditioned near Whitespire mountain, in the griffon empire, why?" the changeling queen asked, slightly output of the calm behavior of the spartan.
"So, all in those ships are changelings?" Twilight continued, ignoring the struggle of the general in her telekinetic field.
"Yes," the queen said, "but why aren't you afraid?"
"Because, you old hag, I already have planned something in this case also," Twilight said, turning around to face redsnow, "your emperor don't mind if I send you back on foot?"
"What do you mean by that?" Redsnow said, looking as confused as the changeling puppet.
"So that is a No, I guess, Harmony, Open fire!" Twilight said, suddenly five loud bangs were heard, and in the horizon, the five ships of the griffon empire were vaporized on mid flight, the changeling puppet was viewing all this, his jaw on the floor, turning around, quickly, Chrysalis could only hear a whistling sound and a phrase, before her puppet was unconscious due to a backhand from Twilight.
"I am coming for you, you two bit Queen"
