Prince Marshall

by Mocha Jon


Part 13

Twilight was seen speaking to Celestia and Luna in the dungeon. She was planning her own specific rebellion towards Marshall in a manner similar to his.

"You really think you can convince everypony to take us back?"

Twilight looked hesitant, "Look it will take a long time, maybe many moons before I get enough credibility to have an influence that goes past his spell, but someday I'll get you out and set things right." She said with more confidence.

Luna didn't look as despondent as Celestia, "Honestly this isn't much of a bother, after how long I spent on the moon this is nothing." Celestia looked embarrassed at that.

"Look, this won't happen today, tomorrow, or anytime soon, but just trust me, Marshall is no King and I won't let him stay in power, but I need him to think I want him too..." Twilight said until the screen started fading a little and suddenly Marshall could be seen looking into a crystal ball that projected Twilight talking to the Princesses.

"That stupid girl!" He laughingly said to himself, "She actually didn't think I didn't bug that room, no wonder she was dumb enough to surrender!"

Mocha Jon was getting a headache, "Wait, so you lied about wanting her to be your Princess just so you could treat her like a servant but she was actually lying to gain your trust but she doesn't know that you know that she knew you didn't really like her or something... I'm too confused..."

Marshall rolled his eyes, "Of course I planned on this!" He said as he revealed something that looked like Twilight's old Element of Harmony tiara but this time the jewel was sea green instead of burgundy.

"Hey, that looks like the Element of Harmony, wasn't that thing like destroyed or transformed or absorbed by her so something?" Jon asked, still trying to wrap his head around who was lying to whom.

"Oh no, it was made by my cousin who works with jewelry, he does great work with stuff like this all the time...!" He said as his horn light up and the green gem started glowing bright. "She won't be making any changes anytime soon..." He chuckled.

"Uh... what's that doing? If that thing is supposed to be some magic key to the underworld I swear I will burn this castle to the ground!" Jon asked.

"It's my test for the mare side of my big spell... Once she puts on this tiara all she will want to do as Princess is cook and clean and all that boring stuff designed for girls!" He exclaimed as his eyes started crossing a little bit.

"I don't mean to be a prick, for probably the only time ever, but so far everything you've done are signs of being completely insane..." He said with a mix of sarcasm and personal fear.

Marshall didn't seem to care though, in fact he seemed to take it as a compliment, "Ha! You don't think I know that!"

Mocha Jon just sighed, "Okay, so far your logic has been 'what I'm doing is wrong, I know it's wrong, but I'm going to do something that's wrong!' and that's not right!" And suddenly Pinkie Pie just crawled out from the bottom of the screen through the fourth wall looking annoyed...

"Oh please! If you believe any of what you just said than you wouldn't have posted any of this story except maybe parts 7 and 10." She said as she crawled back through the fourth wall and left the scene completely, leaving Marshall confused.

"Yeah you get used to that..." Jon noted.

The time passes and the scene turns to Twilight's coronation outside the castle. Her friends were sitting up front, Shining Armor was wearing contacts again to make their eyes look like he was still hypnotized (and they kept making him rub his eyes). Cadence and Big Macintosh were wearing wigs and sunglasses so Marshall wouldn't think they left the catacomb. The rest of the crowd were nothing but Marshall's hypnotized subjects (Caramel, Dr Whooves, Mr Cake etc.), all eager to see how their 'great and forgiving King was giving a stupid girl a chance at greatness'. Starlight Glimmer was nowhere to be found, she was still upset about that thing she was asked to defeat Marshall.

Twilight was looking out the window and was clearly nervous for this. Even though it was not important to be Marshall's Princess and she had no idea that Marshall had a secret motive for her. Marshall was walking through the hall and approached Twilight (and was making Mocha Jon hold all the bouquets himself...) and tried to be comforting to her, he didn't show his more angry side because he didn't want her getting suspicious of him. He was acting like his more smooth and romantic persona and managed to calm her down, enough to take the crown in front of the crowd and she agreed to go outside.

When they walked outside, Marshall started looking more smug and thought he was totally going to get away with this. He approached the crowd and began to speak "Ladies and much smarter and stronger gentlemen...!" He began, much to the girls' annoyance, "The time has come for you all to see that even though us stallions finally have our place as the rulers, we can still show our humility and humbleness towards the mares. That's why I wish to present to you your Princess Twilight!" He said as he presented her, she was looking depressed. Marshall took the tiara and as he was about to put it on Twilight, he was looking more and more sinister. Twilight was looking more and more depressed as he came closer and closer to her, and her friends were looking more and more nervous for her. Right before Marshall was about to place the cursed tiara, Rainbow Dash snapped and rushed right up there and knocked the tiara down and broke it, causing the gem to stop glowing as the rest of the group came up.

"Twi! You can't do this! Look Equestria may have had problems with inequality but this isn't the answer! You need to see how bad this is!" She begged looking Twilight in the eyes, though Cadence and Big Mac's disguises fell off s they jumped up and Marshall's eye was just twitching...

"I can't take it anymore... You know what... SIN LANZA UN ADJUSTE, EL SEMENTAL PRESENTARÁ!!!" He just yelled out in anger as his horn was glowing massively and an suddenly Big Mac's eyes turned cyan again and Shining's turned orange (until he took out his contacts and they turned cyan again). This time even Spike fell for it and he turned. While all the girls looked confused and a little worried, the rest of the stallions in the crowd just looked like a mix of blank and angry... "Stallions... As your King... I order you to attack and destroy the first mare you see! Don't hold back!!!" He yelled out and suddenly they all started to riot...

Big Macintosh just looked over at Fluttershy with a strange smirk on his face... "Eeyup..." He said as he started running after her cartoonishly.

Rarity looked nervous and wanted to run out, "Darlings I believe we must be on our..." She tried to say until she looked over at Applejack and Rainbow Dash who of course had their eyes glowing too as they just saluted and looked over to each other and started doing wrestling moves on each other (body slams, leg pins etc.). Rarity just sighed and put her hoof on her head in annoyance, "Ugh I told you two before, ACT MORE LADY LIKE!!!" She yelled until she got pulled away from Caramel...

"Say neighbor, wanna know how much it hurts pulling your wagons...?"

Shining Armor started quickly charging towards Cadence, "By the way babe, in case it's not clear, it's over again!" He said as he tried blasting her with his horn.

"Shining... Come on you know how to fight this... Please stop!" She was yelling until she ran into the wall of the castle and fell down... Shining was getting closer and charging his horn again and was about to blast... Impulsively in panic Cadence just instinctively said "Patty-Cake!" and suddenly Shining stopped running and started pecking at the ground...

"Bawk bawk... bawk bawk bawk..." He utterd eating imaginary seeds... Cadence just sighed and walked off...

Pinkie Pie was trying to crawl through the fourth wall to escape again but before she could get all the way through, Bulk Biceps managed to grab her tail and pull her back up. He also started spinning her round and round by the tail in a very fast manner like a lasso... "WWWEEEEEEEEE!!!" She yelled, having a surprisingly large amount of fun being spun like that.

Spike just threw a bunch of flower bouquets at Twilight, he was never really good at fighting... Some of them bounced back to Marshall and made him sneeze uncontrollably... Before he could throw a sub-psychotic tantrum at everypony, Starlight Glimmer just teleported behind Marshall to his surprise... "What are you doing here? Can't you see I'm in he middle of a nervous meltdown!?" He yelled, his eye twitching.

Starlight looked furious... "I promised myself I would never consider this again... I swore to myself that it would never happen again... But I just can't let this happen!" She yelled as her horn started to glow, but it stopped when Marshall got hit by a thrown chair... Making him hurt and by extension, all his slaves hurt.

"Ow! Sorry Sir, I was aiming at her but my aim is just really really bad..." Mocha Jon embarrassingly said.

Starlight just shook her head and continued while he was down, her horn glowed and suddenly Marshall's crown cutie mark was glowing the same aura and it just suddenly fell off and flung into a glass jar... After that, all the stallions (except for Shining...) suddenly stopped where they were and all seemed to have strong headaches.

"Wha...?" Marshall was disoriented, "What did you do to me?" He weakly asked.

"I took away your cutie mark, you weren't meant to hold it's power!" She responded as she teleported the jar away, she looked heart broken having to do that again, "I forced ponies to not be who they were once and it was wrong, I just can't let it happen again." She said as a tear appeared in her eye.

Twilight walked towards him and looked angry too, "You didn't really care about stallions, you just wanted power that you didn't deserve..." Twilight said as she started to use a spell on Marshall... Suddenly he had lost both his alicorn horn and even his original wings... "I swore I would never use this spell but you are no King... Now I believe the dungeon needs a swap..." She said as Starlight just grabbed him with her magic and carried him off, causing him to throw a large tantrum with lots of yelling and kicking and swears for revenge, making them all just cringe in disturbance.

Twilight looked around and could tell that despite the hypnosis ending on all the men, they seemed kinda depressed... "Great, now I have to go back to getting yelled at from everypony..." Caramel sighed to himself, Rarity putting her hoof on his back in sympathy. She looked stern and decided to make a statement.

"Listen up everypony! Look Marshall may have been completely insane and went way too far but he did help you all! He was right, Equestria has never been fair to any of you, we've just seen you all as wagon pullers and laborers, we never really stopped to take the time to show you how much you all mean to us and how much you call can do. You don't need some mind control spell to feel important, and you definitely don't need to start a rebellion, because I swear from now on Equestria will be fair to everypony, mare and stallion! You all are special and you all can achieve whatever you want!" All the stallions just looked up to her and applauded her for her speech and felt more comfortable with themselves. Twilight walked over to Cadence then, "Come on, we need to go downstairs and get Celestia and Luna back to being the Princesses we all know and love." She said as they walked into the castle to restore Celestia and Luna.

Mocha Jon looked over at Shining Armor who was still pecking the ground... "Uh, are we just gonna ignore the fact that Shining Armor keeps acting like a chicken? Seriously what is with that?" Big Mac came by and just whispered that he'd explain later and said 'cocoa' to Shining.

"Huh? Hey, where'd Marshall go?"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After some time had passed, Marshall had been seen locked away in the dungeon as a simple earth hinny, tucked away in the shadows reluctant to see anypony and still plotting revenge. Suddenly the door opened and the mane group walked in reluctant to see him, but they were the guide for a certain visitor, Teresa. When she saw Marshall sitting alone in the cell she just started tearing up and dramatically sobbed up again...

"WHY!? I'm so sorry Marshall! I should have never been so mean and force you to be so vile! NO NO NO! Please forgive me! Please forgive me!!!" She started groveling on the floor then and tried to reach through the bars, "Please accept my new love! Don't forget me ever!!!" Marshall didn't bother responding.

The group just looked uncomfortable after that performance, Rarity seemed the most annoyed, "My goodness gracious, someponies just don't know how to handle themselves and can be so dramatic, it's so pathetic." She vainly noted, causing the rest of them to look over at her with an annoyed expression that Rarity didn't understand, "What?"
