Colgate has just defeated the self-proclaimed Dark Goddess Twilight Sparkle and drained her of a lot of her magical powers yet left the evil within her. All of Twilight's loyalty spells were broken and she quickly discovered that it wasn't just Colgate who had a bone to pick with her, but everypony did.
Twilight stood up after being drained, looked at Colgate with those green eyes and said, "You'll never get away with this. I'm still the most powerful being in the universe!"
Colgate just shook her head and said, "Twilight, you have committed many crimes and you have many ponies who are angry with you, very angry."
Twilight shouted, "Nopony hates me, everypony loves me!"
Fluttershy walked up to her and said, "Twilight, you took away many ponies' free will. You used a loyalty spell to force us to be loyal to you. Good thing it wore off on Colgate or you would still be oppressing us all."
Spike was stunned by this and said, "Twilight, I never saw this in you. How could you just do all of this. You never told me you took away their free will. I'm sorry but I can't be your assistant anymore, you aren't the pony I cared for so much."
Colgate said, "Ice Storm, Lightning Wasp, go get Twilight's prisoners. I want them to see Twilight in this state before I release them."
Lightning Wasp said, "Will do Colgate. We shall return."
Twilight began to cry as she realized that her whole world had collapsed in on her. She realized that her lies and deceit finally caught up with her.
Colgate asked, "Why are you crying Twilight? What happened to the big, bad Twilight that you have been for so long?"
"I'm sorry everypony, but I was corrupted by Chrysalis and then I just got out of control. I don't know why I did what I did. Just please forgive me." cried Twilight
Shining Armor said, "Twilight, here I thought what Celestia did was bad, buying you and me from mom and dad, but what you have done is worse, far worse. You have oppressed an entire country, started to oppress the whole planet, made unjust and ridiculous laws, turned the skies purple, destroyed the Crystal Empire, killing over 2,000 crystal ponies and too many other crimes to name. If I were Colgate I would simply kill you but this is her decision."
Colgate replied, "I will announce her punishment when the time is right."
Twilight asked, "Can't I be let off because I was corrupted? I wasn't my true self, so you can't punish me. After all, you can't punish a dark goddess!"
LaurFa said, "Well obviously you still aren't your true self. You still have those green eyes and still think of yourself as a dark goddess."
Twilight replied, "Well look at Commander Colgate, her eyes are like mine except her's are blue! Shouldn't she be classified as a dark goddess too?"
Starswirl interrupted, "Twilight, she did cast a spell so powerful it turned her into a goddess but the blue in her eyes is her true self. The green in yours is a corruption of darkness. That is something that there is no spell to remove from you. You will forever be evil."
Ice Storm and Lightning Wasp returned with Twilight's prisoners. Spike saw Rarity and ran up to her and hugged her. "Rarity? I thought Twilight said she made you leave Ponyville?"
Rarity replied, "My Spikey-Wikey! I'm so happy to see you! Regarding Twilight, she did not make me leave Ponyville, she just locked me up and made you think that."
Spike walked over to Twilight and said, "You lying wretch. You can forget about me ever being your assistant again. I want to go wherever Rarity goes!"
Rarity said, "Spike, I don't know where I'll go. I might reopen my shop or I might move to Canterlot, I'm not sure."
Twilight's parents walked up to her. Twilight Velvet said, "Twilight, you can claim all this I was corrupted crap all you want but we aren't buying it. You thought you had the whole world in your hooves but now your whole world has collapsed. Colgate rules the world now and she holds your destiny in her hooves, not me, not Lyra, not Scootaloo, not Lightning Wasp, her."
Twilight broke down crying harder and harder but she still had that rage in her. She shouted, "Curse all of you, I hate all of you."
Rarity shouted, "Twilight, these stumps are a fashion disaster, you could at least remove them or give me my wings back."
Starswirl said, "Rarity, Colgate is the only pony that can do that. You will have to ask her."
Colgate said, "Rarity, it is your choice. Do you wish to be an Alicorn or do you want to simply be a unicorn?"
Rarity replied, "If you wouldn't mind, could you restore my wings Commander?"
Colgate said, "Sure. You don't need to call me Commander anymore, just call me Colgate."
Twilight sneered, "So Commander, do I have to call you commander now?"
Colgate replied, "Just a minute, I need to restore Rarity's wings and then I will deal with you further."
Colgate lowered her head, placed her horn on Rarity, began to glow and recited, "The unicorn who has no wings is bound to the ground, they can not really get around, their smarts are great yet without flight they will be late, with these wings they will be great and they shall never have a bad fate."
As she recited this a gentle beam of energy entered Rarity and her wings sprouted back to their full size. She was thrilled by this. She began to fly around ecstatically ans shouted, "Thank you Colgate, thank you!"
Colgate smiled at her and said, "Don't worry Rarity. Despite you being an Alicorn, you don't have to be part of my military, actually, that is the case with all Alicorns. You are free to do what you wish, you don't have to be part of the military unless you want to. Despite being Supreme Commander of Equestria, I will still continue to see patients in my practice."
Applejack asked, "Colgate, does this mean that Ah don't have to be your second in command if Ah don't want to?"
Colgate replied, "Applejack, if you wish to do so, then good. If you don't want to, then that is good as well."
Applejack said, "Well if Ah decide to just be a full time apple farmer, who will get the job?"
Colgate replied, "Well if you don't, I was thinking of Shining Armor for the post."
Applejack said, "Well Ah think Ah will just stay on the farm the whole time."
Colgate asked, "Shining Armor, what would you think of being General of the Army again and second in line to the top spot?"
Shining Armor said, "Sure. What title are you using Colgate?"
Colgate replied, "I am going to use the title Supreme Commander. I am remaining as the head of the military and Equestria will be a nation ruled by the military, not a monarchy."
Twilight shouted, "WHAT? You can't do that!"
Colgate said, "Guess what, I rule this place now. As for those of you who were the stewards, you are now the leaders of those countries. I am officially dismantling everything from planet Twilight."
Twilight said, "Well, the skies are still purple and you can't do anything about it!"
Colgate gave her a scowl, flew skywards, filed a powerful bolt of energy skywards, shattering the planet's purple skies. It appeared as though a purple snow was falling all over the world and the sky finally returned to normal. This enraged Twilight.
Twilight shouted, "YOU RUINED MY BEAUTIFUL SKIES YOU WRETCH. I HATE YOU!"
Colgate replied, "Luna, shall we just finish this. I think it is time for the world to move on to it's new era. An era where peace and calm will be the norm again?"
Luna said, "Sure, let's finish this off."
Twilight Velvet asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Luna replied, "We believe that your daughter needs to be punished for her crimes."
Crescent Sparkle asked, "What punishment do you have planned?"
Colgate whispered in both of their ears, "We plan on sending her to the sun with Celestia."
They both said in unison, "That is a fair punishment, go ahead with it."
Colgate said, "Alright Twilight, the time for your punishment has come. The self-proclaimed dark goddess Twilight Sparkle, for massive mind control using spells, destroying the Crystal Empire which resulted in the deaths of over 2,000 ponies, forcing ponies to pay tribute, altering the planet's skies, attacking other nations for no good reason, bodily mutilation regarding Rarity's wings and numerous other crimes against the welfare of the planet, is sentenced to reside in the sun with Celestia for the duration of her sentence."
Twilight shouted, "What? I have to be in the sun with HER?"
Colgate replied, "Yeah, you do. I know you hate her. I figured that would be the best punishment possible. Luna, you may do the honors."
Twilight looked terrified realizing that she would be in a horrible place for almost 1,000 years and even worse, she would have to put up with Celestia.
Luna lowered her head, she began to glow, her eyes began to shine a bright white, her horn began to glow white as she recited, "The dark goddess has been mean, the crimes she has committed must be paid for, which like those before her will lead her into lore, the time has come for her to go to the sun, which definitely will not be fun."
Luna fired a powerful bolt of energy at Twilight. She went soaring skywards into the sun. Scootaloo asked, "Did that kill her?"
Colgate replied, "No, it did not kill her. She will just be residing within the sun as Celestia is. Just wait until sunset, you will no longer just see one silhouette in the solar disk, but two."
Lyra said, "Wow, that is going to be quite a sight!"
Rarity added, "It is going to be simply marvelous! So what now Colgate?"
Colgate replied, "Alright, I have various plans. LaurFa, you will become the leader of the Equine Empire. Lemon Hearts, you will become the leader of Saddle Arabia. Lyra, you will return to Neigh Zealand and have full power there. Luna, Galaxia and Cosmos, you three shall return to Alicorn Island and resume your leadership here and I will be the Supreme Commander in Equestria."
Sweetie Belle asked, "What about the military? I don't know if we have the resources here to feed 100,000 soldiers."
Colgate replied, "Excellent point Sweetie Belle. They will be stationed at bases throughout Equestria, near the major cities. I will be keeping the same size of forces here as there were here before I duplicated you guys. Don't worry, there will be adequate resources near these other cities."
Twilight Velvet asked, "What about those of us who were Twilight's prisoners?"
Colgate replied, "You may go wherever you wish. You are free now."
Rarity asked, "Even though I sassed you out on the range at the base?"
Colgate replied, "Yes. All of you are free."
Photo Finish said, "I'm returning to Canterlot."
Hoity Toity said, "Same Here."
The Sparkle Family replied, "As are we."
Rarity said, "Well this is a tough decision for me but I simply have too many bad memories here in Ponyville. I feel as though I have ruined too many friendships here so I shall be going to Canterlot as well. I believe I will fit in better there. Sweetie Belle, you may stay here as I know your true love is on the farm with the Apple family and Fluttershy, you are the only pony Opal has ever liked so she may remain with you."
Sweetie Belle flew over to Rarity and hugged her and said, "Thank you Rarity! Now I finally know you love me!"
Fluttershy said, "I know Opal will be happy."
Applejack said, "Ah know everything y'all said in Faustica about us being unrefined is your true thoughts but Ah hope that we can at least mend the bridges y'all burned."
Rarity replied, "I hope so as well. I am deeply sorry for what I have said and I hope you will all let me come and visit every now and then."
The remainder of what was Twilight's friends gathered together and discussed things. When they came to a decision Rainbow Dash said, "We forgive you Rarity. You can come visit whenever you like."
Colgate said, "Well everypony, the past year has been traumatic for this entire planet. I know it will never return to the way it used to be, but I do hope that things can be restored to some sort of normalcy. I consider this meeting adjourned."
Those who were imprisoned by Twilight returned to Canterlot, those who Twilight made stewards became queens of their prospective countries and Colgate spread the military throughout the nation. Finally, after a year of terror, Equestria had finally returned to a sense of normalcy, albeit being ran by the military, love and harmony returned to Equestria.
The sunset that evening was spectacular. It had the silhouettes of Princess Celestia in the back facing one direction and the smaller silhouette of the defeated dark goddess Twilight Sparkle in the front, facing the other direction. Every sunrise and sunset will be a reminder of the year of darkness, but also a reminder of the triumph of good over evil.
