Domination of Equestria - T+2 days.
"I'll never marry you! Never, do you hear me, NEVER!!!"
“Sister, please, be reasonable.”
“No! Never! Luna! Please, what has he done to you!? How can you stand by that murderer!?
“Princess Celestia, you’re being hysterical. Calm down and and think a little. It’s not a bad deal, and your sister is clearly very happy with the arrangement.”
“Oh yes, Tia, he’s really magnificent. It would make us both so happy if you put aside your petty hate and joined with the Master.”
Oh my, that one seems to have really pissed her off.
Alicorns regenerate their magic, it seems. Who knew? Not that fast, thankfully. All Celestia can do is make her chains lukewarm at the moment. If she’s kept like this too long though, that may change.
“Indeed, I can promise you, you’ll enjoy every moment of it. It’s a heady experience to be sure.”
“I’d rather gouge out your loins with my horn you monster!”
“Oh my, promises promises.”
Seriously though, she’s got a far stronger mind than her little sister. Straight up coercion isn’t going to work here. I can’t break her will if she doesn’t bend it for me first.
Luna was easy. Taunt her a bit about her dark past and how the two of us are essentially the same and she was blubber, so easy to mould and reshape, and oh so much fun too. I ended up being at it all night.
“Big Sister, please, is there nothing we can say that will make you end your foolish defiance?”
“I ask the same, Little Sister, is there nothing I can say which will bring you back to your senses?”
“Tia, my eyes are more open than they have ever been, my senses never sharper. Now please, your little ponies need their Princess.”
“What our ponies need, Luna, is to be free of this Tyrant’s yoke!”
This was going nowhere, fast. It’s a shame, I had thought that Luna would be a convincing influence. Seems I was wrong.
“Oh well. Come along Luna, my darling Queen. I’ll place her as the core furnace for the new Solar Eruptor. Maybe a few years of burning agony sealed in a magic absorbing coffin will do her some good.”
“Perhaps you’re right my love. Goodbye, sister. I’m sorry you couldn’t take part in this joy with me.”
“No! Luna! Come back! Don’t go with him!”
I hit the button, lowering her into the depths of the Cauldron. Honestly, I had no idea if she would survive or not. Maybe I'll check in a few years. See if what's in there is pure solar slag or something.
”LUNA!”
Rumble.
Rumble.
Splash.
Clang.
Overlord Rule No:53 If the beautiful princess that I capture says "I'll never marry you! Never, do you hear me, NEVER!!!", I will say "Oh well" and kill her.
Or in this case imprison her for a thousand years in a magic fueld engine that also acts as her prison and keeps her at the same level of power as she was when placed in there... something far worse than simple death...
I found this more funny than dark
... You just... you just assumed that she was dead. You didn't confirm the kill. Bad overlord, you go back there right this instant and check that kill.
Was shooting too good for her?
At least try to vaporize the body if your having trouble with bullets. Make the effort man, your reign isn't going to last if you keep up these mistakes.

Alicorns are a limited ultra-rare unrenewable resource.
Shouldn't he have checked the kill?
No body? No proof she is dead.
Eventually, Celestia stopped thinking...

I'm probably wrong, but was that a "Jojo's Bizarre Adventure" reference?
Seems having a princess has its benefit, eh
This also reasons not outright killing Celly - as a part of a superweapon she's heavily guarded outside,and if she gets out by herself he can ask Princess Luna to help him, and watch a catfight then. In some fanfics here Celestia was banished to the Sun by Nightmare Moon, so she most likely won't burn, and maybe some time alone will make her reconsider.
Ah, youth. Or the unholy powers of the nether()-hells. Whichever.

He's bending the rule a little here, and using Celestia as a living battery, rather than outright killing her.
All-in-all a fate worse than death.

Waste not, spend less.
6507354 Considering how she treated her enemies(doubly so with her sister), I view it as a form of karma.

Actually he's not sure if she would survive or not so he doesn't know until hindsight and then...well, want-not-waste-not.
