Terror in Equestria 5: One Thousand Years Later

by StormLuna

The Millennial Summit

It was a peaceful morning in Ponyville when the light shined into Colgate's room waking her up. As usual, when she woke up her mane and tail were a mess so she headed to the bathroom to brush them. Just as she was getting ready to leave her room she was greeted by General Dark Night as he was concerned why she hadn't went down to breakfast yet.

Dark Night asked, "Colgate, are you coming down to breakfast this morning?"

Colgate replied, "Yeah, I am. I just slept late. I wanted to make sure and be well rested for when our visitors get here."

Dark Night asked, "Is it time for the annual summit already?"

Colgate replied, "Yes, but this one is extra important. It is the millennial summit. Very soon it will be 1,000 years since Celestia was banished to the sun."

Dark Night asked, "Why are we worried about her? Shouldn't it be Twilight that we are worried about? Her sentence isn't up yet is it?"

Colgate replied, "Yes, it is. When Twilight was banished it was for the duration of Celestia's sentence, and that time is coming very soon. Let's get down to breakfast. I am getting hungry."

Dark Night and Colgate headed down to the dining hall where they were met by Shining Armor, the new junior commander Scootaloo and the rest of Colgate's officers just as breakfast was arriving.

Scootaloo looked at her plate and was amazed by what she saw. She said, "Wow Colgate, this is amazing! There is so much food on my plate!"

Colgate replied, "Well since you are part of my inner circle now, meals like this will be commonplace for you. Enjoy your breakfast."

After the ponies had their breakfast they headed into the throne room where Colgate addressed them. She said, "Ok everypony. We are expecting some high level guests today. We are expecting Queen Lyra, Queen Lemon Hearts, the Goddess LaurFa and Luna along with her parents out on Alicorn Island."

Major Frigid Wind asked, "Is it time for the annual summit already?"

Shining Armor replied, "It is more than that. It is time for the millennial summit. Very soon Celestia and my sister, Twilight, will be returning from their banishment in the sun."

Scootaloo asked, "Do you think she will have changed or do you think she will still be evil."

Colgate replied, "Well I have been doing some studying regarding this stuff and I have learned that she will have all her powers, knowledge and former size returned to her."

Scootaloo looked a bit worried and asked, "Do you think we will have to worry about her trying to take over the world again?"

Colgate replied, "Yes, we will."

Before she could say any further there was a knock on the throne room door. Colonel Black Mist headed over to the door to see who it was. Once he opened the door Colgate looked over and saw it was Lyra, Luna and Lemon Hearts. Colgate said, "Come on in. There is much going on right now and I am glad you could make it."

Luna replied, "I really wish that my parents would have came but they wanted to stay in Faustica in the event of an attack from HER."

Colgate said, "That is a good move on their part. We can't have her going into your country with nopony there to protect it. By the way, have you seen LaurFa or even heard from her?"

Lemon Hearts replied, "She has been acting odd lately. With our two countries sharing a border we used to be so close but it seems like during the past year she has grown so distant and has really beefed up her forces along their border with us."

Colgate said, "Hmmm...if I didn't know any better I would think she was up to something."

Lyra asked, "What do you think she would be up to?"

Lemon Hearts replied, "I personally think that the loyalty spell Twilight cast on her never wore off and she knows that her return is imminent. I almost wonder if that isn't where Twilight and Celestia will land when they return."

Luna said, "It could be. What you are saying seems to make perfect sense to me."

Colgate replied, "Well we will see what happens. I'm not going to go making any assumptions yet. Once it happens, then we will know what we need to do. If that does happen, I am wondering if there may be some information in the oldest part of the archives that could aid us in defeating them."

Lemon Hearts asked, "Well we defeated her last time so why wouldn't we defeat her this time?"

Colgate replied, "Look, I have a feeling that if LaurFa does indeed join her side that she won't put on the foalgloves this time. Trust me, if it happens I will know what we will need to do."

While they were talking about this Luna noticed that Shining Armor had a nervous look on his face, had broken into a cold sweat and was biting his hooves. She asked, "What is wrong Shining Armor? It seems like you are really nervous about something."

Shining Armor replied, "Oh I am just worried about Twilight's return. I am worried about how she will be once she returns. You know how much trouble you had readjusting after being banished for a thousand years."

Luna said, "Well yeah, I can understand that. I do think we need to be careful though. If she is anything like I was when I returned, she will want revenge and we had better prepare for a wrathful Twilight."

General Lightning Storm, Colgate's top changeling officer, replied, "Yeah, we will need to be as ready as ever for an angry pony who will seek our complete and absolute destruction."

Shining Armor replied, "Well I don't know if Twilight would want that. I know she would want to be able to rule the world but I doubt if she would actually kill anypony."

Lyra shouted, "Oh, and why do you say this? Are you on HER side? Are you going to defect to Twilight when she gets free since you are her brother?"

Lyra was shouting right in front of him and Shining Armor looked terrified. Colgate said, "Lyra, let's not go around shouting accusations at one another. We need to maintain focus so we will be better prepared for when she does return."

Luna asked, "Colgate, do you think after this summit we should return to our homelands or should we remain here?"

Colgate replied, "It all depends on what Twilight does when she returns. If she acts normally, you will return home. If she quickly approaches LaurFa for help, you will stay here and aid us."

Lyra said, "I think that is a good idea. After all, even if Twilight does go approach LaurFa for aid and she does help her, we will still be able to bring them down here and all her spells will be broken. Speaking of her spells being broken, if she does declare war on the world again and once we defeat her, how will you deal with her?"

Colgate replied, "I really don't know at this point. I might see if there is some way that I can transform her back into a regular unicorn or even better, an earth pony."

Shining Armor shouted, "How dare you even think about doing that to my little sister! She earned her wings and was BORN with her horn."

This enraged Colgate, she walked up to Shining Armor and spread her wings as wide as she could, casting him in a huge shadow. She growled, "Whose side are you on Shining Armor? What, is your loyalty to your little sis already coming back before she returns despite her putting you in some bad situations?"

Shining Armor replied, "Uh, uh, well the very thought of Twilight losing her wings or her magic just bothers me. She is my sister after all. Wouldn't you feel the same way about your sibling?"

Colgate said, "I am an only child so I don't know what having a sibling is like. I am just thinking about the welfare of not just Equestria, but the entire world."

Lyra added, "I am the same, an only child and I WILL NOT stand by idly and allow Twilight to take the world again. I can guarantee you that she will try this."

Colgate said, "Well everypony, let's adjourn this meeting. I don't feel like seeing this turn from a meeting into a brawl."

Scootaloo replied, "I agree."

After that Shining Armor stormed out of the throne room and everypony else looked at each other in shock, except Luna.

Luna said, "We better prepare for a war everypony. I can tell by the way he is acting that the second she escapes the sun, he will fly to wherever she lands and will aid her in taking back the world."

Colgate replied, "I can tell. Look, tomorrow is the day that they are supposed to return. I have a feeling they will return either here or over in Maredrid. I will keep an eye on things."

Scootaloo added, "And I will do my best to keep an eye on Shining Armor. I am good at doing things while going undetected."

Colgate replied, "That you are Scootaloo, not to mention you can teleport yourself out of dicey situations as well."

Colgate was not thrilled with Shining Armor's actions but knew that she had the proper forces to deal with Twilight if she did decide to try to retake the world. She also had a feeling that LaurFa would join Twilight but believed that a pony from ancient times could be returned and provide an extra boost to her forces and strike terror into LaurFa.
