"We are the Fantastic Fillies!" Scootaloo proclaimed, followed by the cheering of the crowd which echoed through spacious chambers of the vibrant crystal castle.

"I've seen enough." Said a voice, followed by silence as the magically projected screen blinked out. The crystal unicorn who had been projecting it bowed down and then exited the room as quickly as  possible while still showing deference.

"So, Celestia has finally done something interesting..." An armoured pony said sitting restlessly upon the throne for a brief moment, before continuing. "...Mildly interesting, that is."

"Your highness?" Said one of the guards as his ruler stood from the throne. "Will you address your subjects today?"

A slow chanting was becoming audible within the throne room. Everypony in the room turned their gaze towards the balcony that over looked the Crystal Kingdom and only it's undisputed sovereign was worthy of such a sight. That very pony made their way towards the cheering masses. With every step their cheers were perceived with further clarity.

"ALL HAIL THE MASTER OF THE CRYSTAL KINGDOM!" 

The sound of metal meeting crystal was deliberately loud as the monarch stood upon the balcony, the crowd was overcome with joy knowing their leader was near.

"ALL HAIL DOOM!" 

The cheering was ecstatic and it reached it's crescendo when they glimpsed the masked face of their sworn ruler.

"ALL HAIL QUEEN CADENZA VON DOOM!"

The once bright pink Alicorn, now covered horn to tail in gleaming metal armour, threw back her flowing green cloak and spread her steel-plated wings, she held out her metal hooves and felt the love that each of her subjects had for her and all the love that she would return a thousand fold.
