//------------------------------// // The Diamond Dogs Take Over The Crystal Empire // Story: The Diamond Dogs Take Over The Crystal Empire // by Fryguy //------------------------------// In Rambling Rock Ridge, where gems could be found in many places, lived the Diamond Dogs in their caverns. They had the most shiny gems and jewels that any creature could hope to find. The Diamond Dogs had their gems, and they were happy. Until they became bored of finding the same type of gems and jewels and wanted something more. They were pacing the rocky floors trying to think about different types of gems, or jewels, or even.... "Crystals!" Spot, the shortest Diamond Dog, was holding a paper he had found near Ponyville, the town where Rarity, a white unicorn who caused the Diamond Dogs to feel fear shiver up their backs. Spot shouted the jewel's name when he arrived back to the caverns, what the paper had on it was a picture of a giant white crystal castle, around the castle were thousands of crystal houses, with over a million crystal ponies. At the top of the paper were the words, "Crystal Empire." "Crystals? Spot, don't exaggerate, we know there aren't any Crystals here." Said Rover, the leader of the Diamond Dogs, who was the most tired of the same old gems as ever. Spot nodded his head, agreeing to the fact that there were no crystals to find in Rambling Rock ridge. "Not here, yes, but here there are tons of crystals that the ponies who live there even made there own houses out of crystals!!!!!!!" Spot was holding the paper in his hand high as he said this. The description of the place had caught the attention of Fido, the tallest of the three Diamond Dogs. He grabbed the paper and read aloud. "...."ahem".....Crystal Empire, the city of Crystals." Now Rover was interested at the mysterious paper as well that Spot had found. He grabbed the paper from Fido and read some more, and was shocked about what he found. "You guys, listen to this, "The Crystal Empire's Darkest Times, when a unicorn named Sombra came to power, more like taking over the empire, he ruthlessly ruled with an iron hoof, enslaving everypony within the empire, and forced the Crystal Ponies to work as his slaves, being mainly miners for crystals. The Crystal ponies suffered greatly under their heavy burdens but didn't dare defy their king, they were frightened of him. Everything seemed lost for the ponies until the princesses of Equestria overthrew the king and banished him, but Sombra had put a curse on the empire to make it vanish until he returns from banishment as a shadow, he almost enslaved the empire again before being blown to bits by the now reigning princess Mi Amore Cadenza, or Cadence, with the help of her husband Shining Armor, and her sister and law along with Cadence's Sister in law's friends, their names are....." Rover stopped reading aloud, he started trembling, and then, he let the word that stung him out of his mouth. "R..Rarity....." Fido and Spot were startled as well, Rarity being a hero to the empire, seemed impossible for them to imagine such a thought. But soon they calmed down, and read some more, learning what the empire's crystals were, what types mainly. The Diamond Dogs started wishing they could live there, or perhaps, even have all of the crystals flowing through their caverns. "If only we could have those crystals, we could do many things with crystals. But it would be very tough to transport all of those crystals here ourselves, what could we use to transport all of those crystals here?" Fido wondered, and said the question aloud, Rover seemed to already have a answer, for he was smiling a big dirty grin, and he startled to chuckle as he said.... "He he he he he, isn't it obvious? Besides, we sort of enslaved Rarity for a few hours, why don't we take over that place and enslave those Crystal Ponies into mining crystals for us, and our guards and soldiers here would be able to transport the crystals back to the caverns, we can have the ponies mine all the crystals out of the mines they have and then leave the place, but of course they'll still be our slaves, and we could leave some guards to monitor them as they do our work for us back at the empire, if new crystal mines are found, we can have the ponies mine it out, and that way we could easily get crystals, what do you guys say?" Rover detailed his plan to Fido and Spot, who devilishly smiled along with Rover, they could easily get crystals by slave labor of ponies, like how they used Rarity a while back. "Alright Rover, let's call all of the guards and soldiers, we have some conquering to do!!!" Shouted Spot, who was eager to what would lay ahead of them. The Crystal Empire was busy getting ready for an event coming their way. The Equestrian Games, they were the city holding the games this year, and every pony who used to be slaves to the dreaded Sombra was excited to be a part of an Equestrian event for the first time since their release from slavery. They were eager to get the games ready, and they were also planning on building a new stadium for the games as well. Cadence, who is now the princess of the Crystal Empire, has been literally getting no sleep getting ready for the Equestrian Games. Ever since Twilight and her friends along with Cadence's husband, Shining Armor helped getting the Crystal Empire chosen to host the next Equestrian Games, Cadence was regularly having to sign papers for the stadium being built, repairing the castle after a rock somehow flew from a catapult into the throne room, repairing the castle again when the balcony collapsed, repairing the castle yet again when a sword ended up destroying the tower...... Cadence was now filling out a repair form to have the Crystal Heart repaired after a dragon attack, the dragons had clawed the heart and now the empire was vulnerable to any enemy attacks, dragons like Spike could somehow get into the empire regardless of the heart's powers. But as she was filling out the form, shadowy figures had entered the room Cadence was in, her bedroom, she didn't notice them due to being so distracted by the forms needed to be filled. The shadowy figures were in fact Diamond Dog soldiers who dug their way into the castle, one of them carrying a cloak. "The budget can't last much longer if things get damaged again, it's so expensive! Like buying a crystal ice cram cone, that is over seventy bits!!!" She yelled, but to her surprise, and horror, another voice replied behind her. "I know, and do you know what's more expensive? Your Empire! But don't worry, we're not buying it, we're taking it!!" Cadence turned around in horror to see a diamond dog soldier with a cloak which a split second later was wrapped around her mouth and nose, she couldn't breath, she looked one last time at the diamond dog who was cutting off her air, he was grinning, and within that moment Cadence blacked out, and fell to the floor, unconscious. "She's down, let's bring her to the throne room, where Rover, Fido, and Spot are waiting." Said the dog, and the other soldiers agreed and started moving the body towards the throne room. "HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAAA!!! There she is!!!" Shouted Rover, looking at the sleeping princess in the hands of the soldiers. Rover had Cadence placed on the floor in front of the throne, next to a bunch of unconscious bodies of the palace guards, they surrounded the princess, who was beginning to move. "Guards, let her get up and open her eyes to the new rulers of the empire, our plan to getting crystals into our caverns is working perfectly!" Said Rover to the guards who were about to knock out Cadence again. Fido nodded and said. "Indeed it is working as planned, but the hard part has arrived." Cadence opened her eyes, her vision was blurry, and she could hardly make out her surroundings. "Huh, where am I? What's going on?" Just then a voice boomed throughout the throne room. "Get up! You aren't the princess anymore." Cadence immediately did so but started rubbing her eyes, when she opened them again, she saw that she was surrounded by what she thought were dead palace guards. Then she looked up at the throne to see three creatures on it, all three of them were different sizes and colors, and were wearing differently colored vests with gems in the pockets. "No.....I know who you are, Twilight told me about you, you're the Diamond Dogs, aren't you?" Rover was taken aback by that question, he was pretty sure that the princess didn't know them as the Diamond Dogs, but that didn't matter. "........."ahem".......Yes, we are the Diamond Dogs, and we hunt for gems." Rover was getting excited about when Cadence would give her kingdom to them. "Yes, and you kidnapped Rarity and forced her to work in your caverns to find gems for you." Rover started shaking in fear when Cadence said that. Fido and Spot were as well, the guards seemed to have been frightened as well. "Ple.......please don't mention that name to us! Anyway, we're here for the empire!" Said Fido, he was no longer shacking, he was now as confident as ever with a grin on his face, Rover and Spot had the same expressions. Cadence was shocked to hear Fido say that, aren't the Diamond Dogs gem hunters? Not Empire hunters? "Huh, oh wait, oh I get it, yeah, um....please, continue." Said Cadence, who had realized why the dogs wanted the empire so badly, Rover smiled and nodded. "Gladly, we'll continue, anyway, we're asking you to surrender the empire to us, and then we could finally do what we came here for, and we'll use the Crystal ponies to do that. We want the crystals here." Cadence just couldn't believe the conquerors here wanted the crystals so they took over the empire to get the crystals. But that's who they were, greedy gem hunters. That's when Cadence got the idea, a very foolish yet funny one to see the Diamond Dogs so happy. "You're asking for the empire huh?" Said Cadence to clarify. Rover nodded and said. "Yes, that's why we're here. So........what will it be?" Cadence sort of chuckled, and began to smile a little, and before the Diamond Dogs questioned the smile, she said. "Alright, let's say the empire now belongs to you because I.....um....had been thrown in the dungeon or something, yeah, yeah, and.............the Crystal ponies could still overthrow you with..............uh oh, I can't I believe that I forgot that the Crystal Heart was inactive!" Said Cadence out loud, and she was also hoping the dogs didn't take her last words seriously. But they did. "Oh, so, you gave us the empire and now we have to throw you in prison? That's actually not a bad idea! GUARDS!! Take the princess and her palace pony guards to prison, they'll remain there during our rule." Said Rover, who immediately jumped from the throne and started walking down the giant hallway. As Cadence was led away to be locked up, the Diamond Dogs were dancing in the throne room, they did it, they took the empire, and it was actually easier then they thought. "Hey Spot, didn't that paper have a picture of ponies wearing chains when they toiled for Sombra?" Asked Rover suddenly, he was eager to get the crystal mining started, except they weren't doing the mining. "Um, yes actually, and it also said the chains were now somewhere in this castle." Said Spot, who was now looking around the room where the crystal throne was. "What?! Where?!" Yelled Fido, he was now searching for the chains, and he had also just remembered that they forgot to bring their chains. Rover was looking to, he looked behind the throne, to find a giant door. "Um, maybe here? I don't know, but let me open that door." He said, and started for the door, when he turned the handle, he heard the sound of metal clanging together, and when he opened the door, he saw a bunch of neck shackles and leg shackles, in fact he saw hundreds of thousands of chains, in fact, there were so many that he was buried by a chain landslide. "Argh! Help! Guys!" Fido and Spot immediately saw what had happened and began throwing aside chains until Rover could get up. "Wow, now that's a lot of chains. Anyway, we have everything for our plan now, let's go to the balcony and announce their princess' defeat and our victory and rules and stuff, whatever." Said Rover, who walked towards the door leading out of the throne room, Fido, Spot, and some Diamond Dog guards followed. The empire hadn't known yet that Cadence had been locked up and a new master had now taken over, but they were so busy preparing for the games that they didn't know until a trumpet sounded throughout the empire, usually that was meant to as a signal to come to the castle, so the Crystal Ponies stopped their preparations and went to the castle, expecting to see their princess with an announcement of some sort. But when the Crystal Ponies came to the castle, but were shocked to see strange creatures with chains that looked similar to the ones their ex master Sombra used, but they were scared to what was happening when the creatures with armor were putting the chains onto the Crystal Ponies. Some even tried to avoid the guards. Their Crystal coats had faded, for the Crystal ponies were now frightened, they were even more frightened to hear a voice from the balcony. "Ponies, let the guards put the chains on you, or should I say, slaves?" The Crystal ponies had then realized that they were once again in trouble, they were once again being enslaved. "Who and where are you?!" Shouted one of the Crystal slaves, who was frightened as ever to what might happen to him and the other Crystal ponies. Rover, who said the order to keep the ponies from running away, was smiling at the progress so far that they made, replied to the Crystal pony's question. "Don't move slaves, me and the others are coming down." Then he, Fido, and Spot made their way from the balcony to the ground, by taking the most direct route, which was jumping off the balcony like if they were skydivers. The guards had to quickly get under them while they flew, and they caught the three dogs, but Rover hit the ground not being caught. "Ooooooooooooow!!" He howled, and had started to get up, and scowled the Crystal slaves, who were laughing at the sight. "Why is your road so hard?! Next time I do that, you better make the ground not so hard!" He had to limp because he hit the ground so hard, but he could still stand up, and he started saying what he and the other two dogs prepared to say to the Crystal pony slaves. "I'm Rover, here's Fido, and here's Spot, we're Diamond Dogs, and we hunt for gems. But you guys are clearly better hunters since you found all of these crystals, and since we want the crystals we want you to find them in your crystal mines for us." The Crystal ponies were shocked, they had to mine the crystals out? But give it to the dogs? "One thing is certain, you are our slaves, and you WILL get crystals for us and us ONLY. No crystals for you, and when you clear out all of the mines, we'll take the crystals and leave, but we'll leave some guards here to see if the mines fill up with crystals again or if new mines are found, so you'll still be our slaves no matter where we are. If you don't cooperate, we'll simply have to use these whips we recently created out of gems............oh..saying that felt good." Rover concluded what would happen to the crystal ponies, who were now trembling before their new masters, they thought that because the crystal heart was damaged, they couldn't rebel against the Diamond Dogs. Hope seemed lost for the Crystal ponies, who worked day after day in the mines. After the Diamond Dogs' takeover of the empire, the Diamond Dogs were relaxed in the throne room, they were enjoying the crystals which piled into the castle each day. While their Crystal pony slaves toiled in the mines, chained and whipped by their masters. Many times they begged for mercy from the tyrants of the empire, their cries couldn't reach the ears of their cruel masters. Two weeks after their takeover of the Crystal Kingdom, the Diamond Dogs' castle was flooded with crystals, there were thousands of them, no, millions of crystals mined from slave labor of the Crystal ponies now belonged to the Diamond Dogs,one day they were relaxing in their castle, when at the entrance to the empire, a certain white unicorn mare entered the empire unaware of what was going on with the Crystal ponies, she had something to talk to the princess about regarding the Equestrian games. "Oh dear, I can't find the forms in my mail, Cadence said she would deliver them to me, though I don't know why me but still, it's been over two months!" Rarity complained, she got tired of waiting and took a train to the empire, she was planning on having a private talk with Cadence regarding the forms not being mailed to her. As Rarity neared the castle, something caught her eye, and a noise, like if something was groaning. "Is anypony there?" She said towards a what appeared to be a pony behind a house. The pony heard Rarity's voice, and then answered. "Ra....Rari.....Rarity, is that you? One of our princess' sister in law's friends? The pony who is obsessed with fashion?" Rarity's eyebrow twitched, did she know this pony? Also there was the fact that the coat of the pony wasn't crystally, the Crystal Ponies' coats were crystally the last time Rarity was here, which was not long ago. "Ye....yes, I'm Rarity, why do you ask?" Asked Rarity. The pony who was behind the house seemed like if she was frightened of something. The pony responded. "Because......we need a deliverer.........from slavery once more." Rarity's eyes widened, and the pony came from behind the house, she was crystal pony, who had a reddish, purplish coat, and a what appeared to be a very light violet mane and tail, and she was in chains, with whip marks everywhere on her body, she appeared to be chained to a wagon by her neck, inside the wagon, were lots and lots of crystals. Rarity was still shocked from the fact that the empire was enslaved, again. Which Rarity thought was the reason for Cadence not sending any mail regarding forms for the Equestrian Games. "You said you were enslaved again, by whom? Has Sombra been reborn?" Rarity asked, but to her relief the Crystal pony nodded a no, then said. "No, not Sombra, but strange creatures who love gems, jewels, and crystals, they took over and enslaved us all to mine out lots of crystals each day, that's all I know Rarity, but word goes around the empire from the tyrants themselves that they fear you, the last time you met, you were able to make them let you go. Please help us with our troubles, we know that.......Rarity, are you okay?" Rarity begun to shake she fell to the ground in shock, she then muttered the words. "Diamond Dogs." The Crystal pony couldn't make out the words. "What did you say?" Asked the Pony, who was curious to what Rarity muttered. "I said Diamond Dogs, they are your tyrants, they live in caverns near Ponyville, where I'm from. I can't believe they went this far trying to get their greed satisfied, torturing you, and forcing you to do their work for them." Rarity looked away, tears forming in her eyes, and they dripped from her cheeks. "I don't understand, they used to be fine with what they had in their caverns, what changed? But I won't stand by watching you all suffer, I'll help deliver you from slavery." Said Rarity, who was now boldly staring at the castle where the Crystal Ponies' supposed tyrants, and masters were with their crystals that their slaves mined. "Really?! Oh thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!!!!" The Crystal pony started hugging Rarity, or tried, but her chains wouldn't let her do what she wanted. But Rarity was focused on freeing the empire, and that the Diamond Dogs were the tyrants, it seemed it would be easy to take the empire back, to her at least. "Don't worry about me, I'll be the one who laughs last, in fact, they are so petrified of me for one main reason, which I'll tell you later if I can convince or force your tyrants to have the entire Crystal Empire freed from their chains. After this is done, I shall simply try to convince Cadence to give the empire a new fashion line! "ahem" Tell your fellow Crystal ponies who your deliverer is, and that she would most definitely win, and make your tyrants leave this land." The Crystal pony listened carefully and nodded, then went towards the castle to deliver the gems to her masters, afterwards she would rush to tell her friends and family, and mainly the entire empire about her chat with Rarity, who was entering the castle, and was heading towards the throne room. Rarity had just entered the throne room to see her foes, sitting on the throne, relaxed and were surrounded by gems. Rarity also noticed that they were asleep, and looked around to find a chain sticking from behind the throne, she went over there in curiosity to find the same type of shackles that a Crystal pony slave wears, as Rarity picked up the shackles, an idea went into her head. With her magic, she put the shackles into her saddlebag that she brought with her to the Crystal empire, then she left the throne room. As Rarity left the palace, she saw a Crystal pony pulling a wagon full of crystals, she then saw the pony stumble, and he fell, just after falling, a whip from a Diamond Dog guard struck the pony. The pony screamed in pain, then the guard yelled. "Get up! You shall deliver the crystals, or you will feel more pain from this whip!" "Not so fast guard!" Yelled Rarity, who was holding with her magic the shackles, and she was walking angrily to the guard, who turned to the voice's source. "Ugh! What is it?! What does........Miss..........Ra.........RARITY?!!!!!!!!!!!" The guard yelled, he was taken aback by her appearance, and the shackles looked like a weapon she may use against him if he made any wrong moves. "Oh, I'm surprised you remembered me, because wasn't it years ago when you held me captive and treated me the same way you're treating these, poor, innocent ponies! Oh, how unlady like!" Rarity said in disgust, but the guard tried to protest. "He..Hey! We didn't whip you!" But Rarity was still not satisfied, she knew that yes indeed they didn't whip her, but..... "But still, you're treating the innocent ponies the same way you treated me!! You can't deny it!!! YOU SIR ARE A RUFFIAN AND A CUR!!!!!!!!" Rarity yelled, making the guard whimper in fear, but then he said to Rarity. "Where's your proof that we're treating these ponies the same way we treated you? Huh?" But Rarity knew that answer already. "I don't need to prove anything! BECAUSE YOU KNOW MY PROOF IS THAT YOU MADE ME FIND GEMS FOR YOU!!!!!!! AND FURTHERMORE, AREN'T THESE SO CALLED CRYSTAL SLAVES MINING OUT CRYSTALS EACH DAY IN FILTHY, ICKY CAVERNS??!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ANSWER THAT QUESTION YOU RUFFIAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Now the guard made Rarity angry, and Rarity had also proved that they were giving the same treatment to their slaves as they did to Rarity, despite the whippings they didn't give Rarity and did give to their slaves. "Alright, take the wagon, you can spare this Crystal slave the trouble to bring it into the throne room." Rarity gladly took the wagon, and went into the castle. "I can now tell how hard it was to transport something through the castle, it is so hard to fit the wagon through the door frames!" Rarity squeezed through the last door frame and made it into the throne room, where she found the dogs still asleep. "Now's my chance to wake them using the shackles I found." Thought Rarity, and with the chains, slammed them against the ground. CLAAAAAAANG!!!!!!! "WHAT THE-" "IS THERE SOMETHING GOING ON HERE?!!!!" "I DEMAND AN EXPLANATION!!!!!!!!!!" "NO!!!! I DO!!!!!!!!" The three Diamond Dogs were arguing so much that they didn't notice Rarity. Who watched with amusement, but after a minute she said something to disturb the arguing. "That is so unlady like!" The Diamond Dogs turned to see Rarity with an angry look on her face. "RARITY?????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The three Diamond Dogs yelled at the top of their lungs, they were surprised to see her here, but then again......they didn't want her here. "What do you want?!" Yelled Rover, and Rarity replied, with another question. "Where did you get these beautiful, shiny, BADAZZLING CRYSTALS?! "ahem" Where did you get them?" Asked Rarity, who already knew the answer, and is expecting a lie from her foes. "We mined it out ourselves, Miss Rarity, it's not like we came here, enslaved everypony, and forced them to do so right?" But as Rover answered Rarity's question, two chained Crystal pony slaves walked into the room, looking as miserable as ever. They had whip marks everywhere on their bodies, and their shackles clanged against the floor, they were also pulling wagons, inside were a bunch of crystals. "Here are more crystals, masters." Said one of them. Rarity looked at the Diamond Dogs with a annoyed and angry look. The Diamond Dogs started sweating, and tried to force a smile, but it wasn't working. "Heh heh heh heh, "ahem" Thank you, and CURSE YOU!!! GUARDS, WHIP THESE TWO SLAVES, THEY HAD JUST CAUSED OUR GUEST HERE TO BE ANGRY WITH US!!!!!" Shouted Rover, the two slaves were frightened, and soon some guards with whips came into the throne room. They unfastened the slaves from the wagons, then started to obey the cruel order. The two Crystal ponies screamed in pain, Rarity watched with horror, then yelled. "STOOOOOP!!!!!" The guards stopped whipping the two Crystal ponies, who were to Rarity two mares, and one of them being the same one she chatted with. "How many deliveries do these ponies make?" Thought Rarity, but right now she needed to take action, doing what she would do best around the Diamond Dogs. "Whhhhhyyyyyy? Just why do have to doooo just a evil thing to these innocent ponies, do they complain or perhaps whine like I did when I was held captive? Is that why you whip them?!" Asked Rarity, who was walking towards the Crystal ponies, who were shacking in pain and fear. "Um, well, you see....." Began Rover, but Rarity didn't let them finish. "NO, I DON'T SEE!!!! I DON'T SEE THE POINT IN WHIPPING THEM AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU RUFFIANS CAN'T SATISFY YOUR GREED CAN YOU????!!!!!!!!!!! LEADING YOU TO ENSLAVE EVERYPONY HERE AND TORTURE THEM?????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DON'T YOU KNOW THEY WERE SLAVES BEFORE YOUR REIGN HERE?????????????!!!!!!!!!!! LET THEM GO AND LEAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Screamed Rarity at the Diamond Dogs, who were whimpering and trembling at the same time. They begged. "Ple....Please stop your yelling, it reminds us of your whining, but louder, please stop Miss Rarity!!" Rarity was still fuming in anger, but noticed the Crystal ponies who were being whipped watching from a corner where they backed into before being whipped. They saw with disbelief that Rarity was scaring the Diamond Dogs into whimpering. Rover finally stood up, and saw Rarity breathing heavily but she kept her angry face on. He then said. "What makes you think we're going to give up our slaves because you won't stop yelling. That's ridiculous!!" Rarity saw the two Crystal ponies' faces after hearing Rover say what he said, they were starting to form tears in their eyes. Rarity saw this and began shouting again. "Oh really?! I KNOW YOU WILL!!!! I'LL KEEP YELLING AND COMPLAIN ABOUT HOW YOU'VE BEEN TREATING YOUR SO CALLED SLAVES UNTIL YOU DO!!!!!!" Rover gulped, how long could he and the other two hold out? "Look, Miss Rarity...We....." Began Rover, before Rarity shouted some more. "WOULD YOU LIKE IT IF YOU WERE WHIPPED EVERYDAY??!!!!!!!!!!! WOULD YOU???????!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IF NOT THEN CAN YOU STOP WHIPPING THESE POOR INNOCENT PONIES?!!!!!!!!!! YOU KNOW THAT CADENCE WOULD KILL YOU RIGHT NOW IF SHE FINDS OUT THAT YOU TORTURED HER SUBJECTS!!!!!!!!!!" Rover then remembered the princess and said. "Actually, the princess is in prison right now, in our dungeons." Now Rarity shouted some more. "OH, SO YOU LOCKED HER UP??!!!!!!!!!!! NOW HOW DO YOU FEEL KNOWING THAT YOU LOCKED HER UP FOR NO REASON AND TORTURED HER SUBJECTS BY FORCING THEM TO BE YOUR SLAVES AND DO YOUR WORK LOOKING FOR CRYSTALS FOR YOU???!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ANOTHER THING IS THAT YOU ARE NO LONGER THE TYRANTS OF THIS LAND!!!!!!!! YOU WILL GIVE THE KINGDOM BACK TO CADENCE!!!!!!! AND YOU WILL LET THE CRYSTAL PONIES BE AND FREE THEM ALL!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU WON'T COMPLETE WHATEVER PLAN YOU HAD IN MIND!!!!!!!! ARE WE QUITE CLEAR ON THIS MATTER???!!!!!!!!!!! YOU RUFFIANS SHOULD BE THROWN IN YOUR OWN PRISON CELLS!!!!!!!!!!!!! SUCH A CRIME WON'T GO UNPUNISHED IF YOU DON'T FREE THE EMPIRE FROM YOUR INFLUENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!" Now the Diamond Dogs after that were trembling and screaming at Rarity to stop yelling. They were also now ordering some guards to let the princess out, and to unfasten every chain from their Crystal slaves, they were freeing the empire from their influence. "Okay, okay, you win Miss Rarity. We're leaving, and we won't even take the crystals we got from slave labor. " But Rarity feared that they may come back, so she said. "No, keep your crystals, and leave with them, I don't want your greed to strike this place again!!!!" Rover still shook in fear, but he later said. "Thank you, Miss Rarity, you can do the rest." And with that, the Diamond Dogs, with their guards and soldiers, dug a tunnel into the ground underneath the castle from the throne room, and hurried back to Rambling Rock Ridge as fast as they could. The Crystal ponies cheered for Rarity, who delivered them from the Diamond Dogs. After a celebration, Rarity and Princess Cadence went inside the castle. "Thank you so much Rarity! I didn't think their tyranny would ever end!" Rarity smiled and said. "Anytime my dear, and now that's over, I originally came here to discuss why some forms for the Equestrian Games here never arrived." Cadence started to shake, and then shouted. "OH NO!!!!!"
