Trixie Trismegistus Subjugates the Demon Queens of Canterlot Castle

Epilogue - The Demon Queens Ruminate in Their Captivity

Sunset Shimmer threw her head backwards, groaning in boredom. “Ugh, and here I thought my detention days were behind me…”

“I think this is the first time I’ve ever been in detention,” said Twilight regretfully.

“Well, at least we’re here together,” said Sunset. “We can walk home together later, too.”

Twilight just smiled.

“Anyway, I’m still trying to figure out what is up with Trixie lately. She’s being even crazier than usual,” wondered Sunset.

“It’s kind of normal for teenagers to have imaginative wish-fulfillment fantasies,” explained Twilight. “I mean, I admit that I’ve fantasized about being confident, sexy and having dark magical powers to take revenge on all the students that looked down on me back at Crystal Prep. I think that’s why I transformed into what I did when I got hold of Equestrian magic during the Friendship Games. It’s a little embarrassing, but then, surely you’ve had some power fantasies back when you were younger.”

“What, me?”

An orange pegasus with an electric blue mane flew over to the top of the ruined castle, landing on one of few remaining patches of clear floor. He tried to avoid stepping on the rubble as he approached the tower spire, where a red and black alicorn wearing a golden crown stood, resplendent in her majestic beauty.

“My Queen…” he began.

“Wait,” she said, frowning downwards. He obeyed.

Princess Celestia coughed as she struggled against the weight of the hoof at her neck, but her shattered horn and torn wings made it obvious that effort was in vain.

“Sunset…”

“What do you think, Celestia?” asked the sable alicorn. “Am I ready for Princesshood now? Am I ready for my destiny?”

“Please…” sobbed Celestia. “I know I was wrong! I should have made you a Princess years ago. You were the best student I ever had, and I should have realized nopony else would ever be your equal!”

“It’s a little late for that, Princess,” mocked Sunset Shimmer, her horn beginning to glow a sickly red. “Enjoy your thousand years in the Sun. Ta-ta for now!”

Celestia screamed. Her cry faded quickly as a lance of bright red energy flung her limp body into the blackened sky. High above them, the faded sun flared but for a second before dark blotches, in the pattern of a horned mare’s head, appeared slowly across its surface.

Sunset stepped to the edge of the tower, looking over the valley below at her new dominion. Behind her, the orange pegasus began reciting the list of victories her transformed minions had accomplished against the royal guard and Equestrian military forces. She smirked.

“And now, the reign of Queen Sunset Shimmer will last FOREVER! BWAHAHAHAHA!”

Sunset blushed. “Eheh… er, no. Never.”

Author's Note:

Let's be honest. We've all done it.

EDIT: From the comments, I think a few people have gotten the impression that what Trixie is doing is some form of LARPing (live action roleplaying), which isn't really the case. I tried to imply very strongly that Trixie is suffering from a somewhat intense bout of chuunibyou, literally "Middle-Two-Disease", or better translated as "second-year middle-school syndrome", which refers to the kind of over-immersive make-believe that afflicts some 14-year-olds who have very active imaginations. Button's Mom only assumes Trixie is LARPing based on her outfit, so no, I'm not trying to make fun of LARPers.

I am making fun of red-and-back alicorns, though.

Waiting for iiiit...

Oh. My. God.

That is so cheesy, that is so corny, and that is so hilarious.

Sunset blushed. “Eheh… er, no. Never.”

I don't believe you.

Hey, I don't know if you need a self-esteem boost or whatever, but I just read all your stories; and while obviously there's nothing as long as Sunset of Time or anything, I think you're just as good as Albinocorn, who I also admire. So, uh... y-yeah. I like saying nice things about authors who make me smile, and also make me want to write.

At first I was like "Wha-What? What is going on?", but the more I read the more I liked it, especially when I understood that Trixie was roleplaying :D. That was hilarious, thank you for such an awesome story.
