Twilight Sparkle had a very tough life inside the concentration camp. She heard how the guards tortured and killed creatures either because they felt like it, or because they were against the king. She had been terrified out of her mind. If it wasn’t for the fact that Spike wanted her to be alive, then she would undoubtedly be dead.
She wondered what sort of usage she had that made Spike want to have her be alive. Because from the sounds of it, anypony or creatures from his old life who were against him faced immediate execution. No questions asked. Twilight shuddered at the thought of that. She couldn’t even imagine what had happened to the bodies before the execution itself.
She had been visited by commander Pinkie Pie and medical staff Fluttershy who had looked at her in shock. Pinkie Pie looked like she knew that the place existed in the first place, but didn’t say anything about it. Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie had received bows from the guards that worked there. Pinkie had taken Twilight to an interrogation room where she was asked all sorts of questions. What was a shock to Twilight, was that Pinkie Pie was serious. Dead serious. Twilight didn’t know what to say or think about that, as she answered the questions. It went something like this:
“Okay princess Twilight Sparkle, do you know why you are here?” Pinkie Pie asked, as the pink party mare was looking at the lavender alicorn who was looking down at the table. The room looked to be a thousand years old but was somehow being holded up. The walls had dark shade on certain areas that Twilight suspected to be old blood. She shuddered at that.
“No.” Twilight said, as she was looking down on her hoofs which were in a comfortable sitting position. The chair was made out of metal, and the table in front of her was made out of black coloured oak. Pinkie Pie nodded and shuffled some papers she had in her hoofs.
“Why were you trying to illegally enter Badlands? We found you laying on one of the many benches in the city. You probably don’t know this, but you are a wanted criminal inside this country.” Pinkie Pie said, looking at the alicorn before her. Twilight sighed and felt some tears fall. She was really going to be executed wasn’t she? She had to know…
“Pinkie, I didn't even try to enter Badlands. All i remember was that i was asleep, and then there was a huge explosion and then i was being dragged away from some sort of creature similar to The Pony Of Shadows.” Twilight said, in a distressed tone. Suddenly, Pinkie Pie slapped her. Twilight felt the pain on her left cheek as she heard a chair being thrown backwards as Pinkie Pie was heard… struggling? Twilight looked up and nearly had a heart attack. There were two of them!
“I thought i told you to not hit Twilight!” The Pinkie Pie with a kind and gentle voice said. The one struggling looked angry at Twilight.
“LONG LIVE THE KING OF THE BADLANDS!!!!!!!!” She shouted so loud, the whole of Badlands and Equestria heard it. “You think you are superior to us?!! Think again!! We have the strongest weapons in the whole world!!”
The Pinkie Pie holding her pulled out a handgun from her trench coat and pulled the trigger at the back of the head of the hateful Pinkie Pie. She shook her head as if she was disappointed. “She was never calm.” she said, as if she did this every day. She then looked up at Twilight and smiled as if everything was normal. “Sorry about that, Twilight, Spike has wanted to clone every single creature in this paradise country.”
“Oh! I also came to tell you that there is an exchange going on for your freedom, so you won’t be executed.” Pinkie Pie said, cheerfully and then left the room. Twilight was surprised and simply sighed in relief. Pinkie had never lied to her before and wouldn’t do so now. She had to simply wait a little while…
A few hours later, she was on a train heading towards Ponyville. She had been released but still had charges against her. If she were to go there without making an announcement, she was gonna get executed on the spot. She was not going to Badlands anytime soon, no matter how bad she wanted to go and give Spike a piece of her mind. Although, she would probably just get killed off. Nothing bad was gonna happen anymore.
That was her final thoughts before she entered Ponyville and shocked everypony that she was alive, and seeing Rarity running up and telling her the one thing she never expected to hear.
“Spike didn’t kill Fleur De Lis! It was Gilda!!”
