After 20 minutes, Brandon opened the door, and Colin took Cozy Glow back in the courtroom.
"We have arrived at a verdict that has been agreed on. You are to be imprisoned in Tartarus, under MAXIMUM SECURITY.", Celestia said.
Cozy tried whatever she could, in order to talk them into a lighter sentence, but that solved nothing. As punishment for arguing against the Diarch of Equestria, and against the Christian Fleet, Cozy was gagged and taken outside. Brandon pulled out a whip. Cozy received 30 lashes, and was splashed with saltwater. She screamed in AGONY, and then passed out from the pain. She woke up in a dark place, but found out that she was on an aircraft when she heard the engines powering up. She went back to sleep, and did not wake up for another three hours. When she woke up for the second time, she was held in shackles made of energized metal. She was quarantined in a cavernous cage, built into a cave wall, and sealed by enchanted crystal bars. Realizing that she was unable to get out, and that she was under maximum security in Tartarus, she broke down in tears. Burying her head in her hooves, she cried for what seemed like ETERNITY.
Then, she found 2 slips of parchment at her feet. One had Princess Celestia's seal, the other one had Princess Luna's seal. Unrolling the one with Celestia's seal, she read what the message said. Her heart sank.
"YOU HAVE BEEN DEEMED A SERIOUS THREAT TO EVERYONE IN EQUESTRIA, AND THE LANDS BEYOND! PRISONERS IN TARTARUS ARE KEPT FOR LIFE! YOU WILL NEVER LEAVE, UNTIL YOU DIE! YOU WILL BE ALLOWED OUT OF YOUR CELL, ONCE A MONTH WHEN YOUR PARENTS COME TO VISIT YOU. Signed, Princess Celestia, Diarch of Equestria
Then, she read Luna's scroll. This one scared her to the point of almost screaming.
"I have been asked to use a rather terrifying treatment on you, for the other half of your punishment. It is called "Nightmare Therapy". This is something that can be done only by one who has power in the Dream Realm, which would be me. I will infest your dreams every night. I will turn your supposedly peaceful dreams into terrible nightmares. In the past, ponies who have had it used on them have been scared into realizing what their actions could have led to. I am not sure what your results will be. Signed, Princess Luna
