The sun woke up Twilight early that morning and she screamed to get her troops up. She wanted to get the city taken early so she could start her plans for the next land, which would be much more difficult.
Dark Night asked, "Twilight, how long do you think it will take for us to take this land?"
Twilight replied, "Well given that their entire army is located there in Maredrid and that their whole army consists of earth ponies, we should be able to take this very quickly. This could very easily become the quickest conquest in the history of ponykind."
Thunder Rage flies over and says, "Wow, you think we can do it that quickly?"
Twilight replied, "Yes, I do. Now let's get some breakfast. I'm hungry and I want to get this taken care of."
Twilight and her forces feasted on the apples on the island, knowing that a full stomach will aid them greatly in their mission. After breakfast Twilight addresses her forces.
"Alright everypony, the time has come for us to start taking what is rightfully ours. You are soldiers of mine, what is rightfully mine is also rightfully yours as well." said Twilight
Lemon Hearts asked, "Twilight, why do you think that the whole world is rightfully yours?"
Starswirl interrupted, "Lemon Hearts, she summoned a storm of epic proportions. You see those eyes of hers? She used only the type of power that a goddess has, and a goddess has the rights to the entire planet and that is what this is about."
Twilight added, "Thank you Starswirl. Lemon Hearts, I know you are hoping that I will give you a position of stewardship, but your constant questioning of my authority is not sitting well with me. Prove that you are loyal to me and do not question me and I will consider it. If you continue to question me, I would give one of my lieutenants stewardship over you."
Lemon Hearts replied, "Ok Twilight. I am sorry for questioning you. I hope you can forgive me."
Twilight replied, "Just help me in my endeavors and everything will be fine."
Applejack asked, "Twilight, what is the makeup of their army?"
Twilight replied, "Their army consists of earth ponies and earth ponies alone. Their monarchs are earth ponies as well. However, do not go into this battle overly confident. Go in there and use the same brute force you would use against other Alicorns."
Fluttershy said, "Well that is good to know it won't take long, when will we leave to do this?"
Twilight shouted, "We're going now! The time has come! TO WAR! TO VICTORY!"
It was a calm day in the city of Maredrid. Everything was going as it normally would. The markets were open, the king and queen were holding court in their throne room. One of their royal guards went running into tell them something important.
"Your Highnesses, there has been a change in power abroad." said the royal guard
"What happened? Did one of the royal ponies of the world die?" asked King Stalliono
"No, a pony overthrew her teacher." replied the guard
Queen Mareala looked shocked and said, "Are you talking about Equestria? I heard rumors about one of Celestia's former students becoming corrupted but did she actually take over Equestria?"
The guard replied, "Yes. Twilight Sparkle was corrupted by King Sombra and Queen Chrysalis. She ultimately became so powerful through unrestrained studying that not only did she depose of Celestia and Luna, but she banished Sombra, Chrysalis and Cadence to the void. She is now a self-proclaimed Dark Queen."
Queen Mareala looked at her husband and asked, "Will we have to worry about her coming over here and trying to take us over?"
King Stalliono replied, "I doubt it. She is probably too busy putting everypony in chains over there. I am beginning to wonder if we shouldn't launch a counter attack to try and take it back for Celestia and Luna."
The guard replied, "I don't think that would be a good idea. She knows loyalty spells and has brainwashed all of Sombra and Chrysalis's forces, she has turned those dark unicorn soldiers Sombra had into dark Alicorns and she has put up an impenetrable force field around all of Equestria."
King Stalliono said, "Well the best we can do is hope she doesn't plan an attack on us, because if all this is true, she would take us out in ten minutes."
Twilight and her forces were speeding towards Maredrid and it's citizens at a great amount of speed. About a mile outside of the city Twilight and her forces stop.
"Twilight, will we be using any spells during this attack, such as an armor spell or duplication spell?" asked Thunder Rage
Twilight replied, "This city is populated solely by earth ponies and the same goes with their army. We will not have any issues with them. Let's go and do this!"
The king and queen head out to the balcony feeling a bit uneasy knowing how powerful Twilight was but not knowing that she was ready to crush them with an iron hoof.
Queen Mareala looked off to the west and asked, "What is that off to the west. It looks like a huge flock of birds."
King Stalliono looked harder and he saw two evil green eyes staring at him from one of the birds in the flock. This struck terror into him and he suddenly realized that they were under attack.
"WE'RE UNDER ATTACK!' shouted Stalliono
"From who?" shouted Mareala
"I don't know, but I do know there are a ton of Alicorns and changelings coming!" shouted Stalliono
Twilight and her forces began to swoop down at the citizens of the city and started firing beams of energy at the ponies causing great damage, severe injuries and some deaths. Before the king and queen could get back into their castle entirely Twilight landed on the balcony right in front of them. Her green eyes put a paralyzing fear into them as she stood there laughing.
"Is that you Twilight Sparkle?" asked Queen Mareala
Twilight replied, "You have a good memory. I remember meeting you as a filly when I was a student of Celestia's."
King Stalliono asked, "Could you please stop your attack? You are killing ponies that have no way of defending themselves and what is it that you want?"
Twilight laughed, "I want the Equine Empire, that is what I want. You go out on your balcony and hand the throne to me and I will call off my forces."
Stalliono slammed his hoof on the ground and asked, "You already have Equestria, why would you want our empire? We will not surrender."
Twilight got an evil grin on her face and her eyes began to glow a deeper shade of green as she said, "Oh well. It's your choice. Keep asking me questions while more of those who will soon be my subjects get killed or you can spare many lives by handing me the throne."
Grudgingly King Stalliono and Queen Mareala decided to abdicate the throne and hand power over to Twilight. They headed out onto the balcony where Twilight shouted at her forces to stop the attack.
"AT EASE SOLDIERS, AT EASE!" shouted Twilight
King Stalliono walked to the edge of the balcony and addressed his former subjects. "My friends, neighbors and fellow equines. I am addressing you to let you know that Mareala and I are abdicating the throne. We are handing all power over to Queen Twilight Sparkle. The Equine Empire will now be a province of Equestria. I am sorry that we have to do this but it is either that or she kills everypony in the empire."
One of their subjects yells, "What? We have to answer to HER now? I will not bow down before that dark queen."
Twilight shouted, "You will wish you had not spoken that way to the Dark Goddess Twilight Sparkle."
"DARK GODDESS?" shouted Mareala
"Yes, deposed one, dark goddess. I have done things that require so much power only a goddess can do them. Since I did that, I am a goddess now." replied Twilght
Mareala said, "LaurFa is the only goddess i recognize! You are no goddess, you are just a brutal tyrant."
Stalliono saw LaurFa standing on top of one of the towers. He asked, "Wait a minute, what is LaurFa doing with you?"
Twilight replied, "LaurFa is in my service now. She is loyal to me and loyal to me alone. I don't think either of you know how truly powerful I am."
Mareala said, "You tyrant, you'll never get away with this!"
Twilight replied, "That's what they all say!"
The dissident in town shouted, "You're no goddess, you're just an evil pony who thinks she's the greatest thing in the world."
This did not sit well with Twilight. Her eyes began to shine a deeper shade of green, a black bulb formed at the end of her horn as she pointed at that subject. She recited, "You have committed treason and that is not in season, you are a threat to me and I simply can not let that be, I can no longer be annoyed so you shall be cast into the void."
The pony was immediately sucked into a dark vortex and disappeared. Twilight looked down at the terrified crowd with a look of pure rage. She wanted to make sure that they knew she was in power now.
Twilight asked, "Alright deposed ones, where is your army. I need to speak with them."
Mareala replied, "They live in the base at the north end of town. They have probably scattered throughout town during the attack."
Twilight said, "Well those who did will wish they had never set foot outside the base. Nopony attacks me or my forces and gets away with it."
Stalliono asked, "Twilight, why are you so mean? I know you have done something to make your eyes like that but don't you have a little bit of kindness left in you?"
This sent Twilight into a rage. She screamed at them "GET IN THE CENTER OF THAT BALCONY, NOW!"
They were huddled together in the center of the balcony while Twilight began to glow and a black bulb formed at the end of her horn. She recited, "You have committed treason and that is not in season, you are a threat to me and I simply can not let that be, I can no longer be annoyed so you shall be cast into the void."
A black vortex opened up and swallowed the former monarchs in front of their former subjects in horror. One of the ponies in the street shouted, "You do not do that to our royalty. You are nothing!"
Twilight began to fly above the city, purple clouds with purple lightning began to flash everywhere. Her green eyes were clearly visible and she fired a powerful bolt of energy at the dissident, incinerating him. Everypony else realized that they should just accept the fact that Twilight is in power now.
After Twilight took care of that problem she along with her friends and officers headed to the base while the soldiers patrolled the streets. The Equine soldiers saw Twilight and her forces coming and lined up and saluted her.
General Muddy Hooves said, "Queen Twilight Ma'am, what do you desire of us Ma'am?"
This brought a huge smile to Twilight and she said, "I need all of you to get out there into that field, ALL OF YOU."
Thunder Rage asked, "General Muddy Hooves, what percentage of the empire's army is this?"
Muddy Hooves replied, "Like Equestria, we are a land of love and harmony. This is the empire's entire army."
Twilight glared at him and said, "How do I know you aren't lying? You know what happens to liars, dissidents and anypony else who gets on my bad side, don't you?"
Muddy Hooves said, "Uh, well you either die or get banished to the void."
"BRAVO! YOU GET A GOLD STAR!" laughed a sarcastic Twilight
Twilight then forced them over into the open field she wanted them to go to earlier. All ten thousand of them were crammed into the field. Twilight began to glow so brightly she appeared as though she were a purple sun on the ground. Her eyes began to shine like laser beams and her horn began to glow purple.
She then pointed her horn at them and recited, "From another to me, that is where your allegiance will now be, you thought your old commander loved you like pie when all they wanted was for you to die. With me all shall be great, there shall be no hate."
The energy struck them with a great amount of energy. It hit them with so much energy that it knocked them to the ground. They got up and wiped their eyes.
All of the soldiers stood tall and shouted in unison, "ALL HAIL QUEEN TWILIGHT! OUR ONE AND ONLY LEADER!"
This pleased Twilight greatly. She was thinking to herself, "Well this is a start, but we still have a lot more to do! Now I need to get things up and running here."
"AT EASE SOLDIERS!" shouted Twilight
"What do we do now?" asked Muddy Hooves
Twilight replied, "Well since I can't be here constantly, I will be setting up a steward who will answer to me. After all, my home is Ponyville and I have plenty of other places to go and take."
Muddy Hooves asked, "Twilight, I know that you have duplication spells. Why don't you just duplicate yourself so that it will appear as though you are here?"
Twilight replied, "Muddy Hooves, you are a genius! I am going to have to teach this to a pony I know won't misuse it. Shining Armor, what would you think about learning a duplication spell?"
Shining Armor replied, "You bet Twilight! I do have one question. Will the duplicate Twilight try to take everything as her own?"
Twilight replied, "I will need to work on that. Duplicates are exact duplicates. Using a loyalty spell on her will be extremely difficult and require a lot of energy."
Applejack asked, "Twilight, when will it be time for lunch? We're all starvin'."
Twilight replied, "Now is as good of a time as any. Let's eat lunch and then I can work on getting things set up to where everything here will be fine once we leave."
Twilight and her forces feasted on many different types of food that they had never had before. Twilight was thinking to herself, "If only our next target were this easy. Well I'm going to enjoy this meal before it is time to get to work."
