//------------------------------// // Part 7 // Story: Prince Marshall // by Mocha Jon //------------------------------// The girls and Spike (carrying one of Rarity's pink shopping bags) were walking across the streets or Canterlot seemingly ready to head back home. They were wondering where those insults Mocha Jon gave them came from and were wondering where Cadence went too. The girls were passing by some stallions (with the cyan eyes) who gave them a 'huff' look and turned their heads in disdain. "Uh, what was that about?" Starlight asked, to which one of the stallions turned back around. "Well first of all, you're a group of mares, second of all I don't think that dragon is enough of an escort for all of you!" He said and walked back off. "Now that was mighty rude, I know Canterlot's a city but gosh darnit that was just uncalled for." Applejack added. "Escort? What's he mean by that? Heck usually I'm not allowed to go out unless Twi's out too." Spike asked, not hypnotized like the other guys. "Okay something's not right abound here... Ouch!" Twilight began to ponder before Shining Armor came rushing and ran right into her, knocking her down. "Twilight! Oops... Sorry sis... Come on I need your help!" He was yelling, leaving them all confused, and two more stallions walk by. "Oh please, what stallion needs help from some stupid girl?" They asked, laughing as they walked off. "Well anyway, you've got a lot of nerve after what you did! I over heard you yelling at Cadence!" Rarity scolded him. "Cadence? Oh gosh! Where is she?" "We don't know, after breakfast she just flew off and didn't even bring Flurry Heart..." Fluttershy answered, as Flurry Heart was pulling hard on her mane. "What...? Look, follow me, we need to get out of here, I'll explain on the way!" He said pantingly and desperately guiding them over, to which they confusedly followed. A while later as the sun started to set, Shining Armor seemed to have explained what had happened to him... "So you say you were possessed by Marshall's magic and he used you to dump Cadence? How sad is it that none of that surprises me...?" Twilight noted as she placed her hoof on her forehead in annoyance. "Wait, we've been seeing guys act weird all day? Plus, those guys over there have a banner with Marshall's face painted on it..." Rainbow Dash noticed pointing to two unicorns marching off after hanging a banner of Marshall over a building. "Wait, these guys have been talking down to us all day cause we're girls! Marshall was telling me the same thing! Hey...!" Twilight yelled out, with a male pegasus dropping a water balloon on her." "I hate girls!" He yelled to her as he flew off... "Also, you just left Jon there? Why didn't you try to set him free too?" Starlight asked, splashing some of the backsplash off her mane. "Have you seen the way those two argue...?" Shining began. The scene changes to a flashback to Shining Armor drinking tea with Big Mad and Marshall. Jon was walking over carrying one of his cups of coffee. Without provocation, Jon literally just splashed the coffee in Marshall's face to get his attention... "Hey Your Royal Hinnyness, I really doubt Twilight's gonna take you enslaving her friends lying down! What exactly are you gonna do when she walks in and sees our eyes turned blue?" He sarcastically asked. "Okay, first of all, you're lucky this was white chocolate as that's my flavor, second, I have planned that out, she won't even see us considering how desperate she would be to avoid Cadence's cooking she'll be out a lot, and lastly..." He said as he used his horn to remove all the liquid from his body and splashed it right back on Jon's face... "Oh real mature! If that's how you want to execute your plan you're gonna have a lot more failures than I did in gym class!" Jon responded. "Hey! I don't pay or control you to mouth off to me!" "You hardly pay or control me at all!" The two started yelling at each other and their dialogue became incomprehensible to the audience and Shining Armor and Big Mac just looked over at each other and walked away slowly... Back to the present, "Believe me, Marshall is gonna loose more if Jon stays with him longer, we can get him back later." Shining Armor concluded, and they all nodded in agreement. Spike looked confused and a little angry, "Hey! I'm a guy, how come I'm not acting weird?" He asked. He was also digging through the pink bag and pulling out a nail file. They all looked right at Spike with an expression that just says 'Really?' and Spike got the message, "Okay stupid question." He said as he started filing his claws. More stallions could be seen in the background looking as if they were forming a mob. "Well anyway, we need to find Cadence! Actually, I think we could get Discord to help with this, he does know about spells like this." Fluttershy stated. Suddenly Discord popped up out of nowhere right behind her, cyan eyes and holding a torch. "Sorry dear, I'm part stallion so I'm part of the mob! Ta Ta!" He said as he just teleported away out of nowhere. "Come on! Let's find Cadence!" Shining Armor yelled as he ran off with them following. The scene changes to Marshall leading the stallion army to what looks like Celestia and Luna's castle. All the guards were standing in attention, all their eyes were turned cyan due to Marshall's hypnosis spell. They saluted him and instantly let him in the palace, his mob waiting outside. In the throne room, Celestia and Luna were sitting casually when they heard a strange noise outside, Luna looked out the window and noticed the mob of stallions. "What is the meaning of this? What do they want?" Luna asked, and before she could get an answer, Marshall flew in. "Prince Marshall? What's going on? Did you see the crowd outside?" Asked Celestia. "Prince, that's funny Princess, but I no longer accept that title, from now on I am Equestria's King!" He exclaimed, to which the crowd yelled out things such as 'Praise the Hinny King!', 'Stallions take charge!', 'Defeat the evil mares!' etc. "You see Celestia, all the stallions in Equestria answer to me now..." "Guards!" Luna yelled out, and only Flash Century came in, wanna guess how his eyes look? "Hey, what's up?" He casually asked. "Flash Century, watch over this man while I message Twilight and..." Celestia began until Marshall interrupted her. "Actually, instead of that, wait in the hall and pretend to be Salsa dancing." He ordered in a humorous voice. "Yes sir, Hinny King!" He saluted and went out, he could be seen doing very awkward dance moves when he passes by the door... (he did trip a few times...) "You see Celestia, thanks to a special spell I managed to create, and thanks to some two Alicorn magic curtesy of a mislead Cadence, I have managed to put every stallion under my spell, and we are taking Equestria for ourselves!" He gloated, Celestia lookig angry. "You betray my trust, abuse your power, abuse Cadence! You have lost my sympathy!" She yelled out in rage as her horn started glowing and pointing towards the hinny. "Oh, nuh uh un! I wouldn't do that, see I figured you would try to bring me down, so any pain I feel, all my servants feel the same pain, and the 'Princess' wouldn't want to hurt her innocent subjects now would she?" He gloated more. "You're bluffing!" Luna yelled out. "Watch and learn!" He said as he took his hoof up and just slapped him self across the face three times, he clearly hurt himself as he was yelling in pain. There was a loud rumble outside and everypony suddenly started yelling 'OUCH!!!' and could be seen rubbing their cheeks in discomfort, including Flash Century who was still fake Salsa dancing outside and accidentally tossed his rose towards Marshall... who started sneezing a bit, "Okay, anyway, you have already lost Celestia..." He said as suddenly his own horn started glowing brightly and aimed right at Celestia! Luna noticed her sister was in danger and right when Marshall blasted right at Celestia, Luna ran right in front of the blast herself as a sacrafice. She yelled out in fear and Celestia looked down in shock. Suddenly Luna managed to struggle to stand up again, and her mane was no longer flowing like it normally does, it was still like it was after Nightmare Moon was defeated... Also, both her horn and her wings were missing too! "Wha... What happened?" Luna asked, looking disoriented, she looked over in a mirror to the side and yelled in fear. Marshall walked over to her, "Oh no, it's a true shame, honestly out of all the Princess, you were probably the only the only one who I actually liked a little Luna, you could have been my Queen, of course sense you're a girl you'd just be a trophy wife, but your Alicorn power will do I suppose...!" Marshall continue to gloat. Celestia looked down at her sister and had a tear in her eye; Marshall walked over to her too, "Oh don't feel bad for her Princess... You're about to meet the same fate...!" He said as he simply loaded his horn up and blasted at Celestia, who was too distracted with that happened to her sister to defend herself... She fell down and her flowing mane was now bland and her horn and wings were also gone... Marshall flew out the window, tripping over some wires and falling off the balcony in a slapstick fashion... but managed to get up and fly into the sky. "Equestria! I have the power of three Princesses and am now strong enough to control it all!" He yelled out and flew up in the sky, taking in all the new power and the praise from the hypnotized stallions. The scene then transitions to Cadence in the crystal catacomb underground again. She looked confused and worried for a moment but managed to shake that off fairly well. The camera was only showing her face and views from her perspective and not her full body. "What the...? He must be joking? I've been here before, I can just poof out and...!" She said as she closed her eyes and tried to teleport out, only to open her eyes and find out she was still there. "Wait? Why am I still here?" She asked. She walked over to a crystal wall and saw her reflection. She yelled loud in panic as she noticed her horn and wings were missing! "What did he do? What am I gonna do?" She asked, now looking more worried. She looked around and saw the lath that lead to the exit last time, "Looks like it's time for a trip down memory lane I guess..." She uttered as she went towards the hole. Upon reaching it, she was greeted by no other than Big Macintosh who was blocking the path... "Nope!" Cadence tried to think fast sense she couldn't just fly past him, and she saw another flower bouquet by her. She picked it up and tried to toss it like last time, but Big Mac just caught it easily, then he bit off the flowers, spit them out, and comedically threw the stems back at Cadence... "Nope!"
