Twilight, Rarity, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash can't believe what just happened. They thought they dealt with Nightmare Moon and Chrysalis a long time but it looks like they were wrong all this time.

Dash got over her shock first. "We're not letting these two off the hook after everything they done plus what they did was to rule over all of Equestria."

"Ah have ta agree with RD whatever you were thinking it isn't going to help everypony like you might think," explained Applejack. Corvo didn't like what she said and countered, "Well then if you were in their hooves you would see what they went through just like I have."

That surprised Nightmare and Chrysalis. They wondered what he went through to feel the same amount of pain they went through.

He then continued, "They meant no harm. Nightmare went through the pain of not being appreciated for her night and was stuck on her own moon for a thousand years. Chrysalis went through the pain of failing to care for her subjects and being dethroned by those same subjects for her failure."

"It's obvious they're controlling you and you don't realize it dear but we'll help break that spell," Rarity said thinking he is under spell and doesn't realize it at all.

He couldn't help but chuckle at that statement finding it amusing for something like that to actually be false.

"Here I'll cast a spell to free from their control so you can help us take these two to Celestia and-" Twilight began but was interrupted by his chuckling turning into laughter.

"Stop laughing or I'll kick flank all the way to the moon and back," Dash threatened. It did nothing but make him laugh harder.

As quick as laughter came it went away just as fast scaring everypony. Then he explained, "I hate to say but no matter what you say it will always be false. The reason is that you can't mind control anything that is a vampire. You may not realize but vampires are immune to spells that can alter the mind. That even includes those who share traits of a vampire despite that same being doesn't act like a vampire."

Dash didn't buy it at all and flew over to get in his face and yelled, "YOU ARE BEING CONTROLLED BY THEM!" He didn't like how close Dash was so he used his magic to push Dash away a distance and after he did that he kept his magic ready for anything else that might happen while he speaks.

Before he could say anything Nightmare Moon spoke her thoughts on the mind control belief, "You really think we could be capable enough to mind control him. Sure I could if he didn't share traits of a vampire. I learned that the hard way. Besides that his beliefs should be taken into consideration."

Chrysalis continued for her, "She has a point his beliefs could help us well and it's to prove that we never meant to hurt anypony."

"Yeah right, this is just a trick isn't it?" Dash asked.

"No we're being honest. Maybe if you all weren't so judging of others actions you'll see that not knowing others for who they are might teach a thing or two about life," explained Nightmare annoyed at the pegasus' stubbornness.

"Ah think yall are trying to lie to get away with whatever y'all are planning," stated Applejack. Chrysalis couldn't help but facehoof. She couldn't believe how stubborn these ponies are. So she said, "If we knew about this stallion in the first place we wouldn't be having this discussion in the first place."

"Chrysalis has a point. This would have never happened if they knew of Corvo in the first place," observed Twilight. Nightmare and Chrysalis liked that observation she made.

Corvo liked what was happening. They were all behaving well. He looked over at Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy to see why they were so quiet. Pinkie looked like she going to explode and Fluttershy is hiding behind her mane showing she was scared, but you could tell she was happy for him all the same.

Then he said to them, "If you two want to be involved feel free to." With that said Pinkie went off like a firework.

"Oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh you going to one of my most amazing parties ever! You two will have so much fun and see how you aren't that bad at all and everypony will treat both of as if you were normal ponies as well!" exclaimed Pinkie with one of her big smiles on her face. The alicorn and changeling were surprised by this pink pony but couldn't help a small chuckle escape them.

Fluttershy was hiding behind her mane but managed to approach them and say,"I'm glad to see that everything looks to okay for the time being. It would be nice to get to know you two better than what you both demonstrated when we first met."

Twilight, Dash, Rarity, and Applejack couldn't believe what was happening. Two of their friends were already accepting of these two villains they have fought before.

"Pinkie, Fluttershy dears you two already accept them for who they are already but how?" Rarity asked dumbfounded. "Because they already knew about these two before we arrived," Corvo said. He explained everything of how they knew in the first place.

"So what do we do now, we have been here so long we should find them a place to stay before informing the princess's about this," Twilight asked wondering their next course of action.

"i have a place for them to stay in my castle," Corvo stated glad he was to get through to them. "How do we get there exactly?" asked Dash clearly irritated from the sound of the voice.

He smirked and said, "Oh you'll see once were in an open plain."
