//------------------------------// // Moving In // Story: The Battles Of Today, The Wars Of Tomorrow // by Fryguy //------------------------------// Neffison, his soldiers, and 100,000 Salvanians made their way to Equestria, the conquered country had no choice but to stay out of his way. Neffison smiled, with the princesses and Twilight out of the way, who could stop him? The ponies of Equestria were scared of what he might do, they were even more frightened at the fact that Neffison's soldiers were carrying shackles and chains. Neffison smiled as he strode towards Canterlot. As Neffison entered the castle, he started to adore the fine arts, the glass windows in the throne room showed history, and lots of the rooms were neat and organized. The servants of the castle were probably preparing for Neffison's arrival. The royal guard was in fact doing their duties, except they'll have to change their uniform, or armor to red instead of yellow, but Neffison didn't mind that, he'll order the changes later. Finally, he found the bedchambers, when he opened the door, he found a room that was sparkling clean, the bed was made, and there was a balcony with his room, his old castle didn't have a balcony. He was very pleased. Some soldiers came in, bowed respectfully as Neffison was taking his helmet off, reviling his fire like mane. His main fell down his neck like lava. His cutie mark of a sword came into view when he took off some armor that protected his back and sides. The soldiers finally then said this. "Your majesty, why did you bring lots of chains? It's not like you're planning to imprison all of the ponies who lived here? Are you?" Neffison frowned, this was the third time this week! "No! I don't want all the ponies in the dungeons! The chains were brought just in case if we do have ponies breaking the law, maybe, no, weeeelll, it's not like I'm completely out of my mind, or am I?" Neffison started laughing as he started putting his armor back on, the armor clattered against Neffison's body. He then ran out of the room with the soldiers following him. Neffison came out of the castle, where half of the ponies bowed with respect, while the other bowed in fear, for the king was not really a king anymore, more like an emperor. "Citizens of Equestria, and the Salvanian empire. Today, Equestria has a new ruler, me! Today, we shall celebrate the birth of the new empire and dynasty!" The Salvanian ponies cheered, but the ponies of Equestria did not, for they are now ruled by a tyrant, he can easily make the ponies of Equestria his slaves, like he did to the other ponies in Salvania. But to their surprise, and relief, his chains right next to him were not picked up, or even moved. But their relief was short lived. Neffison, with his magic, picked up the chains, and said. "Whoever has these chains fastened on will join the party in Salvania in rebuilding the city where the castle is. He he he he." The ponies of Equestria gasped, another slavery act? He wants to dig his own grave now! But one after the other, Neffison fastened chain after chain, and soldier after soldier held the chained pony in custody, then Neffison ordered the soldiers to lead the chained ponies back to Salvania and join the rest of the slaves. He smiled with delight. Celestia, Luna, and Twilight were defeated, and nopony dared to face the new king. Eventually Neffison had caused tyranny on the ponies of Equestria, on the same day he arrived, he demanded high taxes from the ponies of Equestria, and if they didn't pay, he threw them into the dungeons. But he didn't do it to the Salvanian ponies, who got richer and richer. The next day, he raised the tax amounts from each pony, which whipped them into a rage. But they still paid, but the tax fees kept coming, and coming, until all the ponies in Equestria were penniless. When the officers came to collect the taxes, each pony said they were out of money, and of course, the officers did not, believe them, and brought the ponies to Neffison, where he ordered them locked up in the dungeon. Soon all of the ponies of Equestria were ether locked up or working as slaves back in Salvania, but he didn't stop there. He ordered his soldiers to take all of the ponies of Equestria to Salvania, to work as slaves. Once the order was carried out, Only Salvanian ponies were left free. Some of the taxes were sent to Salvania to purchase items from neighboring lands. While the rest of the taxes were given to the citizens of Salvania, adding to their wealth. Neffison was on his balcony, he smiled to himself, like if he was still enjoying the moment that Equestria was now his. "Now! Nopony can stop me, this empire will be the strongest ever, and nether friend nor foe will take it away from me. This is the fall of Equestria, who are now enslaved by me. No mare, stallion, or filly that is a pony of Equestria is free, well, except the royal guard. But that doesn't matter now, victory is MINE!" But as he is saying this, a blue alicorn, with a red and light blue mane and tail, heard everything that the wicked king said. He was not happy at all about what Neffison was doing, as he turned to fly away, he spat out this statement to himself. "We'll see about that!" He had spread his wings out, and took flight, and as the mysterious alicorn flew away, Neffison went back into his room, where he started laughing again, like his maniac like self. Who could stop him when the princesses and Twilight are gone? He can rule Equestria forever! Or can he? Does the mysterious alicorn have anything to do with this?
