Twilight

This one was inspired by another September PMV:

Canterlot was basically the same as anywhere else in Equestria, in complete desolation. Smoking ruins and scorched earth. The only difference was that a lavender unicorn was slowly walking through it, her head bowed low to the ground in grief. She had woken up on top of the wreckage of a few Canterlot houses a whole month ago, and now it was really time to move on.
No tears, they had long since run out. A month of overwhelming sadness and confusion can do that to you.
As she walked, she was singing to herself quietly.

Twilight walked through the ruined city, looking at the destruction. She saw once beautiful fountains now empty, their clear flowing waters now long gone, and their statues obliterated into dust. Cafes and shops became dumpsters, filled with burnt, rotten food and mangled dresses.
Twilight gazed around her, and bowed her head again, her voice stuck in a permanently depressed tone.

Twilight sighed, and suddenly teleported. She reappeared in the Canterlot Sculpture Gardens. The once great labyrinth was now a mangled mass of burnt hedges, and every statue was smashed to bits (With the exception of Discord's statue, whose seal had held up against the cataclysm). Twilight turned to Canterlot Castle, or at least to where it used to be. The Castle had slid right off the mountain during the event, and crumbled into the valley below.
As Twilight stared into the huge crater on the side of the mountain, something began to click in her mind.

Twilight had moved into the laboratory Princess Celestia had built for her beneath the castle. She had spent so many days working on a new project Celestia had given her the green light on. It was a device that could amplify a unicorn's magic up to ten, or possibly one hundred fold. It was a large crystalline ring, made of icy diamond. It was designed to fit around a pony's waist, like a belt.
The lavender unicorn's mane was completely messed up, and the bags under her eyes showed that she was dangerously sleep deprived. As she fit the magic amplifier around her own waist, she began cackling and laughing derangedly to herself.
"Finally. . ." the unicorn crooned with a wild look in her wide eyes, her pupils shrunk way down, "Finally it's done! Hahaha! IT'S FINALLY DONE! Hahahahahahaha!"
Suddenly, none other than the Captain of the Guards himself, Shinning Armor, burst through the door of the lab, flanked by a group of ten or so unicorn guards.
"Stop her! She's trying to kill us all! Stop her!" he shouted.
"NO!" the unicorn shouted, shaking her head wildly, her knotted hair getting even more thrown about, "I'm gonna save you! With this invention, I'm gonna save you all! DON'T YOU TRY AND STOP ME!

The unicorn trembled from head to hoof, her eyes wide as realization began to creep upon her.

She settled down, closed her eyes, and focused, doing her best to let her memories flow.

The unicorn laughed with insanity and said, "This is your Redemption Day, everypony! GO AWAY FROM ME! STAY AWAY FROM ME! Go away! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! You can't touch me now!"
The group stared in horror at the mare before them. Once a brilliant student of the Princess herself, now ruined by foolish obsession on work and weeks of locking herself in a dark cold lab with no pony interaction.
"You see this button?" the mare said, pointing to a purple star-shaped gem on the front of the magic amplifier, "I'M GONNA PRESS IT. . . . . !"
BOOOOOOOOM!!!!!

Twilight stared off into space, her facial expression blank.

Twilight's mane suddenly went crazy as her pupils shrank down to pin pricks. Her voice no longer was depressed, but gained an insane growl to it.

And that was the second one. Liked it? Hated it? Please review and let me know!
