//------------------------------// // Epilogue // Story: What If The Shredder Was In MLP: The Movie? // by Battwell //------------------------------// Ch'Rell opened his eyes almost instantaneously and looked around the room. He found himself in the throne room, only he was out of his suit and being held in a yellow aura in mid air. He looked forward and saw Celestia, Luna, and Cadance looking at him hatefully. He also saw the Mane Six with their respective elements around their necks, or in Twilight's case, on her head. Ch'Rell growled and glared hatefully at his foes. "WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?!" Ch'Rell asked angrily. "Ch'Rell, for the many crimes you have committed against not only Equestria, but the Multiverse, you are being put on trial." Celestia explained. "The charges are terrorism, staging a hostile takeover, several accounts of assault, and genocide on a grand scale." Luna reported. "Not only that, but the fact that you were willing to put an end to all life just shows that you have no love in your heart and that you are beyond redemption." Cadance added. Ch'Rell growled in response. Celestia turned to the Elements of Harmony. "As such, the six Elements of Harmony shall solidify you in stone for all eternity." Ch'Rell's eyes widened at this. Celestia then turned back to Ch'Rell. "Ch'Rell, for your many misdeeds, you are hereby found, GUILTY!!!" The Elements of Harmony began to glow. They then fired a rainbow blast directly at Ch'Rell. "Bah. You are not fit to judge me!!! I am The Shredder!!!" He slowly began turning to stone. "I AM INVINCIBLE!!! I..... I..... NO!!! NOOOOOOOOO!!!!" Ch'Rell screamed as he was completely encased in stone and turned into a statue. Celestia bowed her head and glared hatefully at the Utrom. "May your actions haunt you forever." Rainbow then flew across the room and pointed her hoof at Ch'Rell's armour. "So, what do we do with this thing?" "Should we destroy it?" Fluttershy asked. "No, we shall keep it here in Canterlot. The technology in this suit is extraordinary and could benefit pony kind for generations to come." Celestia replied. Twilight then sighed and walked towards the throne room doors. Cadance saw this and quickly flew over to her sister in law. "Twilight, are you okay?" "I failed Tempest. I failed to give her friendship. And when I was so close to giving her what she lost, she was murdered." Twilight replied. "I failed as the Princess of Friendship." "Twilight, you didn't-" "BUT I DID!!!" Twilight snapped and Cadance took a few steps back. Twilight lowered her head in shame. "I'm sorry. But I just need to be alone right now." Twilight walked out of the throne room and everypony looked at her solemnly. Spike walked up to Celestia. "Do you think she'll be okay?" "In time, this has been a very difficult experience for her. I will give Ch'Rell this. He taught my former student something I could never teach her." Celestia said. "And what's that?" Celestia sighed and closed her eyes. "Something I never wanted for her." She opened her eyes and looked to the door. "He taught her how to hate."
