"How do we know that anyone is even guilty of a threat or a problem of the past?"
Twilight stood in her cage in the castle. It was close to the day she was meant to be put on trial. A door opens up she looks over to see Sunset Shimmer walking to her. She smiled weakly at her friend. She knew from the looks on Sunset's face it wasn't going to be good. She stood up they didn't chain her down anymore. Twilight's lavender coat looked like the color was no longer beautiful anymore. Bags under her eyes and they were bloodshot.
"It's time Twilight are you ready for this?"
Twilight frowned shaking her head. "I will never be ready for this. I feel it's deserved for what I have done to everypony."
Sunset frowned shaking her head. "You don't deserve it Twilight you did so much for me and the others. Many want justice I do understand this." Sunset opens the jail cell. "Knock me out and make a run for it Twilight you can go into hiding."
Twilight looks to her friend smiling weakly. She wanted to do this deep down but she knew if she did this her grand foals would suffer for it she is doing it for them. She took a deep breath looking away from Sunset Shimmer then looking back to Her with a weaker smile.
"Sunset I can't do that I have seen the grand foals I have been with them. I have to do this for them so no pony else will treat them like a threat along with my daughter."
Sunset chuckled. "With your daughter being an element I doubt they would treat her like that. But I can understand that perfectly. Are you sure though I'm sure they will find things that you wish you would have forgotten?"
Twilight smiled weakly. "I have been running from everything Sunset. I can no longer run anymore. I need to accept what I have done to my friends in the past. I'm sure one of the biggest things will be what I did to Rainbow Dash."
Sunset set bit her lower lip. "Twilight Starlight is going to be defending you." Twilight nodded her hooves chained by the guards being taken outside of the castle to the newly built courthouse. Many ponies watch but they didn't toss fruit or veggies at the mare. All of them looked sad since they forgave her to get the elements back. Her grand foals watch her being pulled into the court.
"Daddy. What are they doing to grandma?" The half Griffin Filly looks up to her father’s claw.
"Your grandmother is in a lot of trouble something that happens years ago that made us end up in this world. Your mother feels you need to learn something. You will learn from our old world that we all came from."
Discord stood outside of the courthouse he looks stronger than he was when the spell was affecting them. He looked down at Twilight. He whispered.
"Your grand foals are going to be here you sure you want that?" Twilight turned seeing her grand foals a weak smile formed on her face. She knew that sooner or later that her new grand foals will know. But they did something many were worried they would do. They broke off from their father rushing to their grandmother.
Standing in front of them is a large mare with a broken horn and a scar over her eye she smiled down at the two little foals. Recently Twilight got remarried to Tempest. She lowered down to the two little ones.
"You two can sit by me and your grandmother will be fine." The two fillies nodded nuzzling into their other grandmother. She looked back to Twilight with a smile winking. Twilight giggled looking up to Discord.
"What do you think is going to happen to me? I got two daughters that need and granddaughters."
Discord looked down at her with a frown. "Even I can't see that Twilight. I may be a God to some but I'm just a creature that you see here a normal being of Chaos and Disharmony. I can't tell you what the future holds. But I will say this be truthful about everything Twilight doesn’t hide anything."
Twilight nodded closing her eyes she wasn't looking forward to this at all. She walks inside the building standing in the hall to wait for it to start. Luna stood there talking to Rainbow Cloud and Starlight Glimmer. They turn to look at Twilight she had a weak smile when they looked at her.
"I'm going to go sit with the others." Rainbow Cloud looked close to giving birth. "I hate being an element I wish I was given a longer period and not four to five months." She chuckled looking back to Twilight then looking at Twilight’s daughter she had with Tempest who stood there. She was a unicorn who never got the wings. Twilights ears fell to her head but the mare walked to her mother staring at her.
"Mother..."
"Twister..." Twilight still didn't like the name Twister since Tempest didn't like her older name she felt calling their daughter Twister would make others forget what she did. Of course, that never happens. They always remembered the history of what she did. But what is very odd was Grubber stood beside her.
"Greetings Queen Twilight." Twilight looked down at Grubber she frowned. She didn't expect to see him also the fact that most of his race is dead thanks to her but a lot of them died out thanks to a sickness the Storm King tried to force on them. He was cursed to live forever thankfully some of his did make it off the planet and now found a place away from ponies. They did become part of the alliance with the world just they wish to be left alone till everything is fixed.
"I'm so sorry Grubber if I knew Sunset would be like that I wouldn't have let her taken over."
Grubber smiled shaking his head. "Don't worry about it Twilight. I understand that you were under the control of some powerful creatures. I feel that you do need to deal with what you have done in the past. You never could have guessed what she would have done without you there."
A voice sounded out. "Every pony court is now in session."
000
Twilight was chained in the middle of the court. Starlight Glimmer is the one defending Twilight but there is only one creature that could be the best as prosecuting this mare. Sebastian stood by Twilight holding his staff. Luna sat in the chair wearing her royal dress lifting a gavel in her magic. The entire court session was playing all over the planet and even in the Alliance planets sadly no Equestrian planets were able to see this. But they have heard rumors that Twilight is being put on trial for her sins.
"Now Twilight do you swear to tell the truth and nothing more or swear on the death of Celestia?" Luna said in a blunt tone.
Twilight took a deep breath. "Yes I do swear to tell the truth and nothing about the truth so help Me, Celestia."
"Good."
The lizard that harmed Charity not so long ago walked in front speaking to all the crowd. "I may be new to your kind. You follow the path of friendship and harmony. I have watched this Queen of yours fall into the hole that many have before. Now first I don't wish to do this but I was asked. I respect the fact that Twilight is trying to fix what she did. But the issue is here that she did things that could end her life. She has grand foals, my friends. I don't think I have a right to do this. But It is needed."
He closed his eyes standing in front of Twilight with his staff hitting the ground. " Twilight what will be seen is what is in your mind that was recorded. Are you willing to go through this? Luna never went through trial when she became a nightmare moon. No one ever asked her to because her trial was 1000 years trapped on the moon. I feel that is punishment enough."
Luna sighed closing her eyes Discord patted her back he was there to help her just in case she broke down. He didn't want to be here either he felt he had to. So he could finally see what happened to Fluttershy what happens.
The lizard clicked a button and what is seen is Rainbow Dash chained.
"First is Rainbow Dash. Let’s watch shall we."
00000
A guard read from a list of crimes.
"Rainbow Dash you stand accused of murder. Of murdering princess Twilights lover and the Queen of the Changelings. You're even the one who is to blame for the death of all the wonder bolts. Even their children for the one known as Scootaloo would defend you as well but she vanished too. How do you plead?"
Rainbow stood up she had been whipped starved and her wings have been clipped.
"Not guilty."
Twilight's mind was playing with her trying to stop this. "No. Rainbow dash did nothing. She doesn’t deserve to be here." Another voice spoke in her mind. "Oh but yes does. you wish to have harmony in your world, don't you? She will even stop you from getting into space to find that object that almost destroyed the sun. Are you willing to let her stop you?"
Twilight closed her eyes trying to fight the whispers. She turned behind her and everyone in the court finally sees who was there. It was the Shadows Disharmony and war himself. He may have been dead but she was able to see him.
"Now now Twilight you can't tell anyone we are here. It would ruin the surprise now be a good puppet and kill her."
Twilight finally regained herself.
"I find you guilty Rainbow Dash. I find you guilty of the highest order. You're no longer a wonder bolt you're no longer my friend. Your element is forfeit it will be placed on your grave to show what you have done to us."
"Twilight you know full well that you were being used by war. I see them whisper to you I have been touched by the seeing of Harmony. I know they're there right now speaking to you."
The voices grew upset. "Kill her now!!"
Twilight lifted the ax from the guard.
"I was going to send you into exile Rainbow Dash but you and your descendants will be cursed. They will be my minions if any steps out of line they will be killed." She lifted the ax to get ready to bring it down but the others try to stop her. Rarity uses her magic to try to stop Twilight.
Apple Jack tries to grab the ax. "Calm down Sug.." She was about to finish her sentence but the ax swings slicing Applejack right in the voice box severing her vocal cords. The rest of Twilight's friends do what they can to keep Apple Jack alive. Now this shows how she lost her ability to speak and why she talked like a robot.
"No pony will stop justices." She brought up the ax and sliced it down the recording ends.
000
Claw and Sun Sparkle watch the eyes of their foals as they see what their grandmother did in the past. Tempest looked away she looked so sad about this Twister had tears streaming down her face.
Starlight started to defend Twilight the best she could after that.
"She was under the control of Disharmony are we going to cause her to fall and give her a punishment none of us can give her? I killed during my time as evil I even tried to change time. I never got a punishment, I should have gotten punishment but Twilight felt I didn't need it. I spent years helping her and then I watched my friends die and I was turned into this after seeing Twilight controlled and tell them to kill me."
Twilight looked away.
The lizard sighed. "Oh, the jury of the court and Queen Luna there is more to this. Being controlled by disharmony does much to heart. Your Queens’s heart is now going to be empty and lost. It will take time for her to regain everything. But there is more. Next is Rarity and what she did to her."
Twilight blinked she did something to Rarity she thought? She doesn't remember what she did at all to her.
The screen brings up the memory.
0000
Its been many years after the death of Rainbow Dash Twilight and her friends don't seem to do much together anymore. Of course, Rarity growing into a graceful mare always visited Twilight and Spike. They always had tea. Now, what’s odd here is every time they did have tea Twilight would place a strange powder into whatever Rarity drank.
"Good good.." The voice spoke out. "Getting her to drink this after 30 years will get her sick."
Rarity weakly walked in she looked so weak and sick but still held herself gracefully.
"Hello, Twilight Darling I got news might be best to call the others."
Twilight nods. "Spike could you go get the others please."
Spike walked into the room blinking. "I don't know Twilight we all know that they don't wish to speak to you after this long. But I can try."
After a while, they all came but none of them looked at Twilight Apple Jack though looked at her was so much anger she still wasn't able to speak that well. She had something attached to her neck now to let her speak robotic-like. That was it though.
"Now Rarity please tell us what is going on."
Pinkie Pie looked away in fear her mane deflating. "Please tell us I want to get away from Twilight as quickly as I can."
"I told you Pinkie pie I had to do what I had to do she was guilty."
Pinkie Pie stared at Twilight with so much hate hard to believe its been 30 years to the day
"Now now darlings this is something I need to speak to you about. I'm dying of cancer I have 30 days left. So I am going to do something that I should have done years ago. I am going to find the Diamond dogs that I wronged and try to make a truce with them."
The others had tears falling from their eyes and Pinkie turned to Twilight.
"You had something to do with this I just know it!!" She jumped to her she was getting older but she still was grateful. "Tell us what you did you murder what did you do?!!!”
Twilight had tears in her eyes she couldn't tell them if she did her foal would be killed that she thought deep in her mind. She did all this so her little foal could live. Live to hate her for all she did.
Rarity grabbed Pinkie with her magic pulling her away. "Now now darling no need to blame Twilight. Cancer is normal in my family line. I need to get going I will send for you girls when I am able."
Rarity left and the others did as well but the only one that stayed behind, for the time being, is Pinkie.
"You listen to those creatures that follow you Twilight. I know about them. Dashie told me about them before she was murdered by you. Someday.." She grew angry and left.
It ended.
00000
"Mares and stallions of the jury. As you can tell that Twilight did harm Rarity but look at it this way. She may have done awful. But thanks to her Rarity got over herself and brought the Diamond dogs into the Alliance." Starlight added to try to defend Twilight the best she can.
"This is true but she still used tea to kill Rarity Since it's hard to look back on Rarities family tree. I did learn from others that it was in her DNA just what Twilight did make it happen faster. So it might have happened anyway even without Twilight." The lizard added.
"Now the next pony that we will be seeing is Fluttershy." Starlight Glimmer said looking to Discord who looked worried about what he would see.
"No... please don't make me relive that..." Twilight sobbed. "Please!! I don't want to see anymore."
Luna stood up from the chair calmly wrapping her wings around Twilight nuzzling into the mare.
"This is needed Twilight you need to move on after everything you have done. Your grand foals need to see how strong you are. They want to come up here and be here with you."
Twilight turned seeing her grand foal and all the elements foals Bone Spear didn't seem very happy that Muffin and Savanna were allowing their foals to watch this. He didn't wish to argue with his two wives. She took a deep breath nodding.
"Please then..."

Fluttershy's Fate
It's been many years after the death of Rarity and Pinkie Pie even Apple Jack. Fluttershy was the only one left of Twilight's friends and she did everything she could to be there for her. Fluttershy looked so old and weak during this time Discord went on a journey to find more of his kind. So that means he had to go to Dream valley itself to find more of his kind. So Twilight did all she could to help Fluttershy.
The voices whisper to Twilight. "It's your chance to end the last threat of harmony Twilight." But she screamed back at the voices tossing a magic beam at them.
" I will never hurt Fluttershy now leave me be I did everything else you did now I am going to be here with her till she passes away."
The voices grew angry. "So be it Twilight but you will regret telling us no."
Twilight finally made it to Fluttershy's home hearing screaming she rushes in seeing a spider creature of disharmony. It's the former element of the Peace War.
"No war. I told you I would never allow you to harm any more of my friends!!"
War turned to look at Twilight.
"Oh but twilight I am not doing this you're."
Twilight felt her foal in her stomach wake up from the spell she screamed in pain As the little one starts controlling her.
"Poor little Twilight you brought our daughter to me.." He strokes his claw along Twilights stomach. "She is ready to grow really to control you. Her Disharmony side is awake and calling for the death of Fluttershy. Do you want our daughter to die not giving her one more death to let her live?"
Twilight screamed in pain crying. "No...please I never wished this on her.."
"Oh, I didn't either my dear Twilight. Fluttershy is old" War grabbed her face looking into Twilight's eyes and they're full of pain. "Please Twilight I don't wish to do this either." He screamed in pain as something is stopping him from talking. "She will be born and help.." Screamed. "Help fight us off Along with the other elements I am doing this to save you Twilight..." He screamed as he seems controlled again.
Twilight finally understands and she looks at Fluttershy tears streaming down her face. "Fluttershy I am sorry I don't wish to do this."
"Discord..." She called for him.
War gasped. he charged at Fluttershy grabbing her neck and with one swift move snapped her neck. War turned to look at Twilight. She remembers him now it’s the element War
"We can't let Discord see us. If he knew what our daughter was he would kill her." War vanished then the vision ended.
0000
Discord stared at Sun Sparkle they all stared at her and the foals.
"Our saviors of this war are Disharmony and harmony along with the other Elements." Discord looked upset saying this but he stayed calm. "They will help us if we allow them to It's been years I can only do is this. Twilight I forgive you."
Luna hits her gavel on the counter. "The rest of this will be more death after another. Maybe it's time to say that Twilight is not fully Guilty. Her mind has been worked and controlled for so long in her life. She can't think that well only when her grand foals are near her she becomes herself. Along with her love." Looks to Tempest. "Jury please go and talk about the verdict."
The jury that is of all races went into the other room to talk about it. They spent an hour or so talking and they come back out the leader of them a zebra mare that looked like a Mendi.
"We find Twilight Not Guilty but we recommend a harsh punishment just the same."
Sun Sparkle smiled holding her foals close to her as they cheer for Twilight.
“Her punishment is going to be this. She has to live with the rest of her life knowing that she did all this. But to start her redemption and it will be years. That she has to work with every race in this world. Then go to every planet with the battle ahead and help free them.”
Sun Sparkle released her two foals and they run to their grandmother giggling and laughing as she is mowed over as she laughs kissing her grand foals.
Discord and Luna watch.
"Now the time starts for souls to heal." Discord said with a weak nod.
Sun Sparkle walked to her mother as she stood back up. After all these years Twilight gets a large hug from her daughter.
"Yes, it is time to heal." Luna nodded.
Twilight looks to the side seeing her friends and Shining armor hovering there. They all smile at her. They have been there watching but the one that broke her heart was Celestia but she screamed as all souls looked at her she was able to be seen.
"Sister?!"
"They are trying to bring me back... They...." She screams and her soul vanished.

Equis ruins of Cantorlot
In the very ruins of Cantorlot that still burn from the explosion the body of Sunset, the human one stands still with a cloak over her body. her body badly burned and skin peeling. She stood near a device that held all the remains of Celestia her horn. Ponies were casting a spell along with a zebra some that stayed behind that worked for Disharmony she looked like she spoke with stars.
"Ah yes her soul is here. Just like the stars said."
"Good now start up the magic and science."
The spell started by the magic ponies and the zebra they looked to be doing a necromancy spell that was causing the body of Celestia to reform and then a pony pulled down a lever causing a flash of light to happen and soon the deice opened up showing A figure like Celestia in the smoke.
"Welcome back Celestia."
A laugh came from the smoke.
"I'm Celestia no longer my child. I'm Day Breaker" The smoke showed the firey nightmare version of Celestia the nightmare that Starlight had so long ago.
"Good good now you can help us and help bring Disharmony to.."
"No this is my world Disharmony will not do a thing." She castes fire burning the zebra and the ponies. Even the disharmony creatures died but Sunset shimmer.
"We will not allow you to do this we won't!!"
"Too late I already have." She burns Sunset to death with the magic. Her powerful magic breaks the gate allowing Grogar and all the minions and evil to finally take over Equis.
"This is our world. Neither the world of Harmony or Disharmony."
Grogar stood beside Day Breaker and she bowed to him.
"Your kingdom my lord."
Grogar nodded.
"Now to get to work."
