Well, good to see Iron Hoof finally bit it, although I wish it could have been more hulmiliating for him rather than instantaneous. Although, that may be because I like to see arrogant, delusional villains like him receive full punishment to their egos beforehand. And although Twilight is now Midnight and thus not realizing what Blackhole is doing... she does have a point about what the Royal Sisters did. Anyone could clearly tell that putting Iron Hoof in charge of the army was bound to lead to disaster.
Hopefully Twilight's friends and family will be able to get through to her.

While I would agree with the 'Iron Hoof deserves worse' part, its also obvious that this version of Twilight honestly wants things done now. As in, right now. That's probably why it didn't last long for him.

Twilight has bigger fishes to fry...the Princesses. Besides Midnight is just downright mad now.
Hope Twilight gets returned to normal.
Those spin off's sound good, can't wait for them and more of this story.
Hope midnight can be transformed back into twilight and that she can talk things out with the other princesses and save flurry heart
Thank you all for your feedbacks, it warms my heart that you all like the story and the new chapter.
Well, things are going downhill. New Edea's army suffered serious casualties, Twilight's gone Midnight, the princesses are too late to stop Iron Hoof and Flurry is captured.
To be fair, Twilight has every right to be pissed at Celestia and Luna. They should had seen what was wrong with Iron Hoof and kicked him out. But instead, they allowed him to stay, and eventually put him in charge of their army. To me, that's pretty much the same mistake Celestia made when it came to the wedding and her imposter niece: She either didn't notice or didn't care about the warning signs both were showing and allowed them to get far with what they wanted.
Because of their negligence, she nearly lost her husband, her foals and her kingdom to Iron Hoof.
Oh, and here's another What an Idiot moment, this time with Princess Luna
She had spoken to her sister last chapter about her poor desicion to vote for Twilight's capture, how she should treat her better and they should extend their hooves to New Ednea in friendship. And she left Celestia to get some much needed rest.
You would expect: For her to go to the army right away and let them know that Celestia has called off the order to capture Twilight. She's a ruler herself, and therefore, as command of the army as well, as shown with Raven Mist. That way, no one in the army would had listened to Iron Hoof when he ordered them to battle as they knew the princesses didn't want it.
But Instead: She goes to have 'private time' with her colt friend.
As a Result: Iron Hoof attacks New Edea, with the army believing it's still under the princesses' orders to bring Twilight back. Because of it, Twilight nearly lost her husband, several soldiers and had her people and children threatened.
Even Worse: If Luna had informed the army, most likely one of the spies would had informed Twilight about it, making her aware that Celestia didn't want her captured or to control her anymore. This would had allowed better relations. But since Twilight didn't know Celestia was going to call the order to capture her off because no body had, she believes her, Luna and Cadence to be respionable for what happened. Thus driving her away from them even more, as she pretty much wants them dead at this point.
So nice job breaking it because you wanted to have fun with your colt friend, Luna!

Even if that's the case, Iron still did this. I mean, Raven says that Iron lied to her and the whole army. That means that even if Luna told them to stop the scouts, Iron could still lie to them and raise his army...while Luna is having her fun. Luna probably thought that the crisis was adverted and believed she could start solving everything tomorrow morning. Heck, we know Raven was part of Luna's guard, so it shows he made sure that the army wouldn't inform Luna. That and she made sure Celestia wouldn't be disturbed, so neither of them could know this was happening!

Well, that's one way to look at it. I would normally protest, saying no pony would be that dumb. But considering how the princesses failed to see what kind of pony he was, which wasn't most likely seen by the army either,p...
8300456
Very true. After all, if Iron made his way to the top, he obviously understands how to manipulate others. Though he did drop the ball here, but its also obvious that he was really overconfident that he could win in this little scenario. Especially considering that he thought he had won for sure when the 'new' Twilight showed up.

So, to make this long story short. Celestia and Luna,....take it away, Angry Joe.
8300828
Yeah...that's a good point right there.
What an interesting chapter! I loved almost everything about this chapter! While I have no interesting speculation about what happened or what I think will happen (cause I have no imagination when it comes to this stuff...) I do have a couple of errors I found...
This 'more' seems a little redundant since Iron is already saying 'smarter'... y'know it's also incorrect English...
While nuance is a real word I'm pretty sure Twilight is not a subtle difference like the word suggests... I'm pretty sure you mean 'nuisance' some one who causes inconvenience.
But! Other than those tiny things, I saw nothing else wrong and loved everything else about the chapter! Write on dear author! Write on!
8300873
Glad you liked it, stay tuned for more.

Well, I highly doubt they can really fix anything at this point. At least not with one big happy alliance at this point. Celestia was the one to suggest sending the army to capture Twilight in the first place. And she failed to see who Iron Hoof really was inside.
That's her fatal flaw here: She's completely wrapped up in her own little world and her desires that she fails to see things for what they are. even flat out refusing to do that at times. This even extends to Twilight: as much Celestia loves her, she also wanted to control her. I mean, lets review the facts, shall we?
-When Twilight first quit, her response was to lock her up until she 'calms down' (AKA, go back to being Celestia's student/pet)
-When Twilight saved the Crystal Empire using dark magic, all Celestia did was flip out and attack Twilight. She even intended to drag her back to Canterlot and most likely brainwash her into not using the magic again and into obeying her (in the name of 'helping her').
-Then when she finds out her student was the empress of a kingdom, she (at first) wanted her captured and brought back, like some thug. And I bet the so called trail she was going to give her was going to end with her locked up until she agreed to do what Celestia wanted or become her student/pet again.
Flurry Heart better be relatively unharmed when this ends!!😠

She ordered scouts, not a capturing team. Iron did that. As for everything else...that's just how the balls falls with her. I mean, she's had nothing but bad experiences with dark magic. (Luna, Sombra, Chrysalis, etc) Also, Celestia has admitted she's going to change her approach with the previous chapter. Unfortunately, things are moving too quickly for her change of heart to...change her relationship with Twilight right now. That and her previous decisions are repeatedly coming back to bite her.
8302484
Judging by how guilty Celestia was and how Rarity was acting, the scouts were to bring Twilight back...regardless if she wanted it or not. She even admitted that she thought the goddess wanted them to seek Twilight's help, not distrub her.
Sad thing, in reality, if you make too many mistakes, there's mos likely going to be no chance of forgiveness and salvaging what's left of a relationship. The other person isn't going to trust you anymore.
That's how I think how the Celestia and Twilight's relationship in this story will be: As much as the princess realized her mistakes and wants to be part of Twilight's life as her friend, Twilight is going to believe that Celestia only wants to manipulate/control her and refuse to trust her anymore.
8303856
Yeah, I see your point. And you can also say that things are definitely setup that way since Twilight is obviously not the 'Princess of Friendship' here when she ascended. That alone helps the facts that these two won't get along.
But, this is mlp, and friendship is everything in mlp. Mostly...sometimes...hopefully. Eh, let's just wait and find out instead.
Good, God! If this is how mad she is at Equestria imagine what she's going to do to Blackhole............. Mahahahahaha excellent
Interesting turn of events. I'm intrigued to what will happen next. To the author, I'm enamoured by your twist and turns of the story's plot and by this I mean the way you sprinkled in small details such as events that aren't apart of this story. Im a fan of this story and I look forward to seeing more.
8342084
Thanks
flash should be turn into alicorn!
8371152
Hes not an alicorn, but he's immortal just like his wife is. Flash and Fluttershy gained their immortality from mastering Pegasi magic.
8380006
Finally someone who realize. In a way Blackhole is similar to Twilight as well.

Recently i have played Tales of Berseria and the main antagonist is just doing what he hinks is the best choise for everyone. So i can see more of that here. Its the needs of the many outweight the needs of the few, yet i feel that way of thinking will come and bite you back.
I never thought I would say this but there actually is someone far more arrogant than Admiral Zhao. Iron Hoof got exactly what was coming to him.
Too bad that Blackhole Heart couldn't persuade Twilight to his side, he would have won for sure.
8380493
He only made her stronger
8380546
...How? Because as far as I know, he's heading towards a major beatdown considering Twilight's love for her family and that's the last thing an antagonist should ever do.
8380551
He's kidnapped Flurry Heart and prompted Twilight to unleash Midnight Sparkle from her Prison. You can't imagine what will happen when Twilight realize what happened
8380559
I guess I'll just have to wait for the next chapter then.
8416062
Yes
Are the Dazzlings living in Twilight's Empire?
The story we need, but not which we deserve!
Truer words have never been spoken Twi.
Oh shit!
Flurry Heart noooooooooooooo!
I thought you could only move the sun and the moon if you weren't corrupted? But if Blackhole takes Flurry, won't she get corrupted? And if all the elements are on Twilight's side, why did Blackhole get released in the first place?
Im kind of disappointed. You’ve made twilight seem like a competent leader and warrior, but she not lonely let’s hr guard down but decides to waste time conversing with her niece? Also the amount of power level change makes this feel more like dragon ball than anything else. While I can understand a weapon meant to harm or kill an immortal and the extensive power Black has, I lost interest in the story at this point, and have the villains gain control of a vast amount of land and have the heroes start from scratch is kind of cleích.

Iron order war but Celestia did order for twilight to be forced back. She never thought to truly admit that she messed up more than once. Twilight has become the master of magic and has gained control over all forms of magic.
