Important Meetings

In Ponyville Colgate headed to Sweet Apple Acres to round up Applejack's family before going to Sugarcube Corner. Once she got there she was greeted by Granny Smith. She had heard Colgate's screaming so she asked, "Colgate, are you ok? I heard you screaming and yelling."

Colgate knew that she needed to remain calm, especially with Granny and Big Mac. She replied, "No, I am not ok. Equestria has been attacked and I need everypony over at the base as soon as possible."

Granny Smith replied, "We will head there now, won't we Big Mac."

Big Mac added, "Eeyep!"

Colgate said, "Good. I'm glad to hear it."

Granny and Big Mac flew off to the base while Colgate headed to Sugarcube Corner. Once she got there her recruits could tell she was in a very bad mood. Pinkie wanted to lighten the mood so she asked, "Hi Colgate, do you want something sweet?"

Colgate was in no mood for a snack. She growled, "No. I need the five of you over at the base NOW."

Rarity asked, "Oh let me guess, you are paranoid about another attack."

Before she could say anything else Applejack interrupted, "Now listen Rarity, this is important. Come on everypony, let's follow Colgate over to the base."

Colgate smiled at Applejack knowing that she was taking everything seriously. Once they arrived at the base Colgate addressed her army. She started, "Alright troops, I have some very bad news."

Fluttershy asked, "What is wrong Colgate? Did we get attacked?"

Colgate replied, "Yes Fluttershy, the city of Los Alicornus was attacked. Many were killed and they have plenty more forces out there along our coast ready to attack."

Rarity asked, "Did Lyra do this? I know she isn't overly fond of you."

Colgate replied, "Yes, it is Lyra who did this."

Fluttershy became enraged. She shouted, "THAT FILTHY PILE OF MANURE. SHE WANTS A WAR, SHE'S GOT A WAR! I WILL KILL HER MYSELF IF I HAVE TO!"

Colgate was ecstatic to see such fury erupting from Fluttershy. She replied, "That is the fighting spirit I want out of all of you. Fluttershy, I want you by my side when we attack Neigh Zealand."

Fluttershy, who normally only becomes angry before and during pegasus races was fuming over the attack and was ready to aid Colgate in any attack against Lyra. Fluttershy shouted, "Thank you Colgate! I will not let you down!"

Colonel Black Mist asked, "So what is the makeup of their soldiers on their carriers?"

Colgate replied, "Well this is rather funny. They only have 200 dark Alicorns and 200 changelings on each carrier. So chances are most of them will be slaughtered upon their invasions given I have troops stationed in each city. It is the one carrier that will land in an uninhabited area that I worry about. We will deal with them when the time comes."

Green Toxin asked, "Look, I know you are planning these grandiose battle plans, but what if Chrysalis returns with her army?"

Everypony else sighed in shock. None of them knew that she was even back in their world. Rainbow asked, "Wait a minute? Chrysalis is back? How did that happen?"

Colgate finally realized that she had to tell her army about the nuke spell. She had a nervous look on her face and replied, "Ok troops. Over the years I have been gathering uranium in the hills around town. Well, I learned this spell that allows me to split the uranium atoms, which causes a powerful, deadly explosion. Well I tested this in the arctic north and unfortunately it tore a hole in the void, allowing everypony and everything ever banished there to return to our world."

Rainbow threw her hooves up in the air and replied, "Great, just great. Because of your recklessness we now have multiple enemies. What the hay were you thinking?"

Colgate pointed her horn at Rainbow and shouted, "Look Rainbow, I didn't know this would happen but that does not give you the right to talk to me like that either. Remember, I'm the pony in charge, NOT YOU."

Her recruits, except for Fluttershy, started to see a much darker side of the Supreme Commander that they have been loyal to for so long. They began to remember how Twilight would never use such tactics and began to wonder if perhaps another coup was necessary. Of course they then realized that she is so powerful that they wouldn't stand a chance against her, so they just obeyed her and hoped she would change.

A soldier in the crowd asked, "Supreme Commander, what are your plans for Neigh Zealand?"

Colgate replied, "Well since the void is empty and any further damage to it will not matter, I plan on nuking Neigh Zealand. The death of many of Lyra's subjects will crush her morale and she will likely surrender to spare any citizens I don't kill first."

Rarity was so shocked that she fainted upon hearing this. Even her dark Alicorn soldiers were shocked upon hearing this. Lieutenant Dark Crystal asked, "Uh Colgate, don't you think that is going a bit far? Do you really have to kill innocent civilians to force Lyra to surrender?"

Colgate shouted, "WHO IS IN CHARGE! ME, NOT YOU! IF I WERE YOU I WOULD JUST SHUT UP AND NOT QUESTION ME."

By this point, Fluttershy was probably the only one who was all for Colgate's plans. She asked, "Colgate, when will we leave to go destroy Lyra and wipe out Neigh Zealand?"

Fluttershy's friends looked at her in shock. They began to realize that Fluttershy was quickly becoming bloodthirsty just like their supreme commander. Colgate replied, "We will be doing five days of high intensity exercises. I will then duplicate our army so we will have sufficient forces here at home and then we will head out."

Pinkie nervously asked, "So will all of us be going with you?"

Colgate could sense that out of her recruits, that only Fluttershy had the same ambitions as her. She replied, "No, out of all of you only Fluttershy will be heading out with me. The rest of you will stay here and hold down the fort."

Fluttershy's friends breathed a sigh of relief as none of them wanted to take part in destroying an entire nation. Fluttershy had a beaming smile on her face and began to lick her chops thinking about destroying Lyra and her beloved nation. Colgate saw this and said, "Fluttershy, I want to have a private meeting with you and you alone."

Fluttershy flew up to the podium where Colgate was addressing her troops and shouted, "YAY!" She then lowered her voice and asked, "When do you want to do this?"

Colgate replied, "Now, let's get up to the tower."

The rest of her army and Fluttershy's friends just watched as Colgate and Fluttershy fly off to her tower. Applejack said, "Y'all know what? I really don't know if I can think of Fluttershy as a friend anymore. She has went from kind and sweet to being bloodthirsty almost overnight."

Rarity began to cry and added, "I know. I miss the sweet Fluttershy that I would have afternoon tea with, the one who would model dresses for me."

Rainbow added, "And even though I hated losing to her in the pegasus races, I miss the Fluttershy that would beat me."

Pinkie finished, "And I miss the Fluttershy that would always compliment me on my treats no matter what."

Colgate and Fluttershy arrived in the throne room where Colgate asked her, "Fluttershy, I want to know something. Is it just me or does it seem like your friends really aren't on board with my plans?"

Fluttershy had a determined look on her face and replied, "I don't think they are on board with us. I think it is a wise decision you deciding to leave them here. What if they were to try to help Lyra?"

Colgate smiled and said, "You and I think way too much alike! The same thing crossed my mind."

While they continued to talk on Alicorn Island Scootaloo had just arrived after a very long voyage. Brevity Thrash was standing on her balcony and saw the ship docking. At first she was getting ready to attack but then she saw Luna and Scootaloo levitating Lemon Hearts onto land.

Brevity flew down to them and said, "Luna, Scootaloo, Brevity sees that you have captured Lemon Hearts!"

Lemon Hearts shouted, "So, I see that little miss Brevity is still speaking in the third pony."

Brevity smacked her for that comment. She said, "Luna, Scootaloo, take her into the throne room so the three of us can question her before taking her to the dungeon."

They took Lemon Hearts into the throne room where Brevity stood before her with her wings spread wide, casting the fallen queen in her shadow. Brevity asked, "So Lemon Hearts, what all crimes did you commit?"

Lemon Hearts replied, "I will not say anything until formal proceedings start."

Brevity replied, "Ok Lemon, it is your choice. For now you are going to the dungeon." She then proceeded to haul her down to the dungeon where she would be held indefinitely. Once she got back upstairs she asked, "So how long do you think it will be until Lyra is captured and this war is over?"

Scootaloo replied, "You know, I'm not sure. Colgate is extremely powerful, her recruits are extremely powerful and given her determination, I could see her finishing this off before too long."

Luna asked, "Has that part of this war even begun? How do we know that Lyra isn't just bluffing?"

Brevity replied, "Brevity is not sure what is going on. We will just have to wait and see."

While the three hoped that Colgate could finish this off they had no idea what kind of tactics she will use against Neigh Zealand, nor did they know about Colgate's nuke spell test and they certainly didn't know that the void was ruptured and that some of the enemies of the past had returned.

Duplication---"From one to two, two to four and so much more, when one is simple mere, more and more shall appear."

Banish to void--- "You have committed treason and that is not in season, you are a threat to me and I simply can not let that be, I can no longer be annoyed so you shall be cast into the void."

Loyalty spell---"From another to me, that is where your allegiance will now be, you thought your old commander loved you like pie when all they wanted was for you to die. With me all shall be great, there shall be no hate."

Giving drones a mind of their own---"those without a mind are in a bind, no longer shall they just be, but they will still be loyal to me, for officers they are now but they don't ask how."

Unbanish---"The one who has been banished has done their time, they are now forgiven for their crime, their time has come, now they need to contribute some, it is Equestria that they must serve or into the spiral of the void they shall curve."

Transform unicorn to Alicorn--- "The unicorn who has no wings is bound to the ground, they can not really get around, their smarts are great yet without flight they will be late, with these wings they will be great and they shall never have a bad fate."

Transform multiple unicorns to Alicorns--- "The unicorns who have no wings are bound to the ground, they can not really get around, their smarts are great yet without flight they will be late, with these wings they will be great and they shall never have a bad fate."

Transform Pegasus to Alicorn---"The one who can fly likes to fly free desires the powers that allow the unicorn to be, he/she wishes so much to levitate and create, rather than berate, for the winged one now has magic, without that it would be tragic."

Transform Earth Pony to Alicorn---"The pony without magic or flight is in a bind, for they feel like they have fallen behind, they work themselves to death, even to their very last breath, for now with magic and wings, great things shall be what life brings."

Increase size of pony---"The small one wishes they were tall so that they won't have to crawl, with height their future is bright and everything will be alright, for the small one is small no more, with height their happiness shall be galore."

Mature pony--"The innocent pony is unsure of who she wants to be, that may be cute but it is not what is good for me, she needs to mature if she is to be strong for without maturity she won't last for long, the naive one shall be so no more, for her maturity will carry her into lore."

Strengthen Armor---"The one without armor does not stand a chance, so it is what we must enhance, the unarmed one will likely receive death, with armor he shall continue to draw breath, without armor he will be torn to shreds like a rag but with armor victory is in the bag."

Activate Jade Alicorn---"The jade Alicorn will help me see all, without it I might miss a brawl, while the distances are great, I can see all the hate, wisdom is what comes along with the eye so that overthrowing me nopony will try."

Hurricane spell--- "The nice weather must come to an end, for without a storm the enemy will not bend, the wind shall be strong and my enemies won't last for long, a hurricane is a must so the tyrants will sink and go bust."

Fixing spell--- "The city was devastated by a storm, which is not the norm, their suffering is great yet we can not allow normalcy to be late, the city must be restored to the way it was before so they can pay taxes like they did before.

COLGATE'S SPELLS

Unlock---"The door is locked, but from me my information is blocked, a lot of learning I have to do, but with this locked I won't have a clue, now the door is open for me and infinite knowledge for me shall now be."

Lock---"Right now the door is not locked, from others the information is not blocked, the others must not be allowed to learn, for this is not theirs to earn, the door is now closed for all but me because infinite knowledge is not free."

Shatter Armor---"Our foes' armor is great, that is something I hate, with their armor they are strong, but them having armor is just plain wrong, now their armor is gone and it is time for them to say bye as they are struck by energy and die."

Return Blue sky---"The sky is purple which is ok for some, but it just makes me numb, for I miss the way it used to be, blue is beautiful to me, the normal sky shall be back and everything will return on track."

Drain pony---"The large pony is too big for me, for smaller the pony shall be, the size and knowledge will become mine, but the negative qualities is where I draw the line, for what must grow is my power, so that I may remain in the tower."

Change eye blue---"The green eye is not for me, for blue is what it shall be, the evil shall be banished as the good can not vanish, what shall return will be an eye of blue as it is the perfect hue."

Freeze time---"Tick tock, tick tock, look at the racing clock, what is short is time and being late is a crime, we must finish on top so it is time I must stop, with time froze, it is my enemies I shall bulldoze."

Unfreeze time---"Look at the clock, it is stuck in place, with this there can be no pace, everything is still but that does not fit the bill, for now the clock shall again run so everypony can have fun."

Time bubble---"A bubble is what we need, so from frozen time we can be freed, in this bubble we can move fast, while everything else is stuck in the past, it is frozen time which through we must pass so we will never be late to class."

Undo time bubble---"In the bubble time continues to run, but now the time outside runs and allows fun, the bubble must burst so we can quench our thirst, from the bubble we are now free and everything we can clearly see."

Release Brevity Thrash--- "She was banished long ago, but her power she will not forego, it is revenge she wants, it is her sister she shall taunt, for Brevity Thrash shall return once more and be more than just long lost lore."

PINKIE'S SPELL

"The changeling's power is good, but not great, they can fire ooze but not enough to make their foes lose, for them to be great, they must fire bolts of hate, the energy shall be strong so their enemies won't last for long."
