Rarity, the Evil Princess of Theft and Stolen Hotness, gazed frustratedly into her gold-plated magic telescope.
"Curses," she cursed.
"What's the matter, Princess Rarity?" Fluttershy asked.
"Princess Twilight is the problem! Even after I deftly stole her magic and teleported my house into the Everfree Forest, she still refuses to stop impeding me!" Rarity turned away from the telescope. "She is using Winter Wrap-Up to magic proof the town. How am I supposed to kidnap more ponies at this rate?"
"Oh, well, couldn't you just break her charms, or something like that?"
"Embedding magic into the environment is a rather involved process. Dispelling such strong magic would take a lot more magic than I have." Rarity stroked her chin thoughtfully.
"Well, you do have quite a few ponies here already," Fluttershy said. "Couldn't you keep feeding off our magic like usual?"
"That would take too long." Rarity bit her lip. "I want to take over the town as soon as possible, before that deceptively competent Twilight Sparkle does something else to slow me down."
"Don't worry, Princess Rarity. I'm sure you'll think of something."
"I'm sure I will. I probably just need to ask for help from--" Rarity shook her head. A sudden headache had washed across her. "Nevermind. Right now I need a snack."
"Oh, would you please let me do it?" Fluttershy pleaded. "You've barely fed on me at all lately."
Rarity smiled, and an errant bit of light glinted off some of her teeth. "Well, since you asked so nicely, how can I refuse."
Fluttershy scurried over to Princess Rarity. The blue glow of her sclera brightened for a just moment as she approached her Princess.
Rarity wrapped a hoof across Fluttershy's neck, pulled the pegasus closer to her. Their lips met, and Fluttershy let out a small squeak of discomfort. Rarity's horn ignited, and Fluttershy's eyes glazed over. It felt like being winded, like being squeezed and out of breath and underwater. Fluttershy's legs wobbled, but she forced herself to stay upright. Couldn't disappoint her Princess.
Rarity withdrew, her eyes closed as she savored the taste of her little servant. A small tendril of blue energy retreated into her mouth as Fluttershy finally collapsed.
"Thank you, Princess," Fluttershy whispered.
"You're welcome, darling." Rarity licked her lips. She was still a mite peckish. Maybe that annoying blue unicorn still had some left that she hadn't digested.
Damn you, Ex-Princess Twilight! Why must you deprive the true princess of her basic needs? If not for her faithful Fluttershy Rarity would surely waste away! Oh... and the other one. The blue one. She is faithful as well.
I swear, this Rarity idea is genius. Someone needs to run with it.
Also, Rarity, the Princess of Hotness has a nice ring to it.
And the tragedy of Raity deepens. I feel for you...
It returns! As I knew it would. Twilight Sparkle cannot be defeated by a mere lack of updates. I look forward to more.
4687146 She needs to be paired with Flash Sentry.
4685102 It is obvious now that rarity is the disgusting spawn of Tirek. Stroking her greasy goat beard in evil contemplation, sucking out magical energy of others through their mouths and fooling others into doing her evil bidding. Although I have a hard time believing something so grotesque could have been born of mare. I imagine she was a slimy, gnarled hairball that Tirek spat out that somehow gained sentience and took the form of the closest being.
The only thing wrong with this chapter was that there was not enough Princess Twilight Sparkle, The Great and Glorious.
KBO.
4709809 Please, that amateur can't even compare to the greatness that is Rarity. He didn't even enslave his prisoners with sexual pleasures! If anything, I suspect Tirek to be a poor copy, an inferior knockoff of a much superior pony. Just like Twilight Sparkle.
4709829 You have a point. rarity is so vile and evil that not even Tirek can compare. Which would make it all the more meaningful when the Glorious Princess Twilight Sparkle, the Great and Good, defeats rarity all by herself.
4709907 Twilight is one to talk about energy vampirism. In fact, she's far worse, since she killed her victim to steal it's power. For all that her home is a tree, it seems awfully transparent that she should not be throwing stones about.
4711575 Oh, but the dragon is not dead. His memory will live on in the immaculate heart of Princess Twilight Sparkle; his spirit will live on in her incorruptible soul; and his body will live on in her gorgeous mane, her beautiful wings and her sexy fangs. His noble sacrifice will not be forgotten.
4711839 Face it, your precious Draconic hybrid is no princess. She is a murderer and a thief. Rarity only took what she needed and left Twilight alive, at least. It is by her generous mercy that Sparkle continues to draw breath. She should get down on her knees and thank Rarity, Princess of Hotness, for every day she wakes up. Unlike that dragon, Twilight has a chance.
4713152 Murderer? Hardly. Thief? Please. That dragon was a villain and a bully. What Princess Twilight Sparkle did was a kindness compared to what he deserved. As for rarity, she got lucky. She caught the princess unawares, taking advantage of her innocent, trusting nature by pretending to be a friend. rarity did do one thing, though, she showed our innocent princess that there are vile, untrustworthy creatures in the world.
4714757 Innocent and trusting, which is why she didn't trust her own mentor to take care of Nightmare Moon, or her friends to help her. She collects friends like possessions, and discards them when they no longer serve her needs.
Has she spared a thought for Fluttershy or Trixie? Has she made any attempt to do anything but fortify her own defenses? If she was a true friend, she would be making every effort to save any of her friends, yet her only thoughts are for her own power.
Twilight has been a manipulator from the beginning. Rarity is just better at it. She won't be bested at that game. The only way Twilight could possibly win is if she gave a single care for anypony else, and tried to save Rarity from herself. But she won't, thus she is doomed to fail.
4714794 The princess healed Nightmare Moon herself because she did not want her friends or her mentor to be harmed. She cares deeply and worries for Fluttershy, Trixie, Pinkie Pie, and even for rarity. She wants to help each of them, but she must protect the rest of her friends first. rarity's brand of evil is not something to be taken lightly. It is infectious, it spreads. Princess Twilight is incorruptible, of course, but nopony else is. Before she goes to save her corrupted friends, she must safeguard her remaining friends. She cannot stay with them, and taking them with her would be too dangerous. When she is finished protecting her friends, she will go and save the rest of them.
4714965 Incorruptible? Hardly. The moment she was exposed to the concept of energy vampirism, she immediately used it to attain power. And that is precisely why she will lose. She is playing Rarity's game. Had she immediately gone out to cure the Princess of Hotness of her affliction, all would have been well. Instead she treated a fallen friend as an enemy, and thus sealed her fate and Rarity's. Whether Sparkle will acknowledge or not, there was a time when she was not perfect. A twist of fate affected six lives, and I have no doubt Rarity's rise to power coincided with Twilight's.
Twilight is only showing how imperfect she is by failing three of those six in the worst way imaginable. If she was incorruptible, she would have immediately denied Applejack's statement. A perfect being would have loved Rarity when nopony else would. A perfect being would have cured her without fail, and forgiven her as the true friend she is. Twilight is not perfect, and only continues to grow less so.
4716265 Yes, it is difficult to know what to do when a villain who pretended to be your friend for so long finally reveals their true colors, betrays you and rends your world asunder. So many emotions flood into you. Anger, resentment, heartbreak, doubt, fear, dismay. And the questions. Why? Were we ever truly friends? How could I have been so foolish? In the heat of the moment, rarity's actions were unforgivable. It becomes difficult to trust again. However, Princess Twilight Sparkle knows she has a duty. She will overcome any and all adversity. She can protect her remaining friends. She will redeem her comrades who fell into the darkness. And she will defeat and reform rarity for her own good. In the end, rarity, the former "princess" of STOLEN hotness will lay prostrate at the hooves of the Resplendent Princess Twilight Sparkle. Feeling unworthy and too humiliated to look this kind and loving deity directly in the face, rarity will beg for forgiveness, truly sorry for her horrible actions. And Princess Twilight Sparkle, looking down lovingly at her prone former enemy will gently raise her up, look her in directly in the eye, and forgive her her sins.
4716599 And that is the sad part. For all the perfection of these two, they were destined to be friends. But one was risen up by a twist of fate, while the other was laid low by a similar twist of fate. Rarity has become a more powerful enemy than the Nightmare was ever capable of, but it is a dark power. She is seeking the beauty she deserves, seeking the love she wants. Only tragedy can come from these two continuing to oppose one another in a contest of strength, for as powerful as Twilight becomes, Rarity can take it from her. And in her current state, Rarity will not care if she kills. Which is why Twilight needs to be the perfect pony she claims to be, or she will never win.
4716721 Do not worry about Princess Twilight Sparkle, to paraphrase Yoda, she will be. She. Will. Be.

Comments better than fic
4837939 tears in what? the fabric of the universe? the barrier between dimensions? the power of friendship? none of those are even close to describing the soulful, ageless wisdom that twilight's eyes reflect and also magnify
4837949 OOC: it's true, they are
4837949 Well, someone has to represent team Rarity.
4838013 stahp i'm dying
"reflect and also magnify"
I thought this fiction will be all about Twilight being a mary sue and solving all the problems with no real effort.
Now, we have a multi-chapter storyline, that is actually getting really interesting.
I'm so confused now.
I have yet to read about how Twilight flaps her wings a waves her horn around.
5096464 this makes me so happy
Best storre evar ritten. Twilight Sparkle iz such a dinamik karactar.

I know what you mean. If this wasn't a weird comedy mary-sue story, I'd take Rarity's headaches as a sign her ingrained affection for her friends is fighting some kind of magical mental effect that's making her evil. In this story, that's probably only true if there's a way for it to make Twilight look better.
