Chrysalis finds herself trapped in human form. She finds herself married to a human male. These insults will not go unpunished! The solution? World conquest, of course!
“—but had to be put on hold due to unforeseen circumstances. It was revived ten years ago and contact was re-established between Earth and Equus. Celestia avoided appearing as she did before; a goddess who tried to guide Humanity away from evil and showing the ways of Harmony. Humans, she discovered over time, were violent and resistant to changes. She had some followers, but ultimately, she did not want to interfere with human cultural development.”
Fuck you too Cadance. Fuck you too. And Celestia, your easily scared quadruped furies, aren't exactly any better than us, you just got lucky with them there.
Starlight Glimmer moved, her expression grim. With one hand, she pointed at the table. It froze in midair and stayed there, bathed in her aura. With the other, she clawed her fingers in the air. Scott was also engulfed in her aura. With the hand channeling the magic keeping him in place, she guided him to a couch while righting the table with her other hand. Releasing him, he plopped onto the couch, his arms and legs splaying as he yelped.
“Oh, please, Mr. Bronson,” she told him, crossing her arms over her chest. “I’m sorry this is a huge inconvenience to you, but there weren’t enough candidates who had a higher rating than you. The ones that did would not have been a good match at all for Chrysalis. Too domineering. This was a choice based on a matter of scientific analysis and a hunch from Princess Cadence. You will be compensated and outrageously so. You’ll have so much money you won’t know what to do with it. All of your debts; car loan, mortgage, insurance, medical bills have been taken care of. Your roommate will not have to move. Everything is taken care of.”
This feels like a personal slight against me. Because when Starlight speaks of "too domineering" she means someone that would be smart enough to talk Chrysalis into playing along long enough to be able to get away with a proper vengeance scheme and a chance at freedom.
And all of this is part of some elaborate technology assisted ritual to try and bring magic back to Earth, thank you. Because that is no different than the Nazi's from Hellboy trying Project Rag-Na-Rok while being led on by Rasputin to try and bring in enough power to win the war.
Thank you UN, thank you governments of the world, your thirst for the nefarious force that is magic and your 1984 tactics at doing so further plant that all of you deserve to be conquered and be roughly raped, and turned into the sexual play things of Chrysalis.
So in the end the whole plot revolves around Scott's inability to make "Lemonade from Lemons" metaphorically speaking.
Sigh. Well let's watch as this blows up horribly on everyone's face.
If only you knew how big this was, you’d shut up and thank your lucky stars you are in the position you are now.
But right now, this moment, you are probably one of the most important figures in history. You are becoming part of history. Please remember that.
Nope, I'm already looking forward to seeing Chryssy screw the UN over. I'm pretty sure Neil Armstrong didn't have to be shanghaied to go to the moon. Oh wait, maybe in the world of this pony-run shadow government, he did.
She had some followers, but ultimately, she did not want to interfere with human cultural development.
This is why, misused as it may be, Star Trek has a Prime Directive. Also, WTF would you call THIS? I'm pretty sure EVERYTHING going on here counts as interfering in human cultural development.
This Fae would have to endure the inherent dangers and find a way to convince the creatures encountered to help restore the magic lost to human antiquity.
And maybe also convince them that ponies are dicks and should, at the least, be permanently exiled from Earth.
It has proven in the past that tapping into the magic of this world by beings from Equus causes mental and physical trauma.”
“Nightmare Moon?” Scott guessed.
...Well, if THAT'S not a grade A indicator of what a bad idea this is, I dunno what would be. Yet in typical government hardheadedness, they've decided that a thousand year hiccup wasn't enough and to go ahead and try again!
Mr. Smith spoke up, “Then you’ll be imprisoned on this world at a location of choosing by the United Nations. There, you will be subjected to experimentation as you are not human and are therefore not afforded the rights granted to humans. You are a magical creature and therefore do not exist. No one will care if an imaginary fairy was dissected in a secret location. All you have going for you right now is your natural physical strength, but other than that, you have no other means to protect yourself. Humanity can be ruthless and without remorse, Queen Chrysalis. I suggest you play ball with us. It will make your life so much easier. In the end, you’ll be able to live in the lap of luxury, pursue your carnal desires to your heart’s content. Within reason, of course. You will be constantly under close observation.” His smile was small and terrifying. “And the name of the project is Baba Yaga. The Russian President insisted on the name.”
This is the kind of thing that has me terrified we'll actually make first contact with an alien race, extraterrestrial or other-dimensional, because you know some government bigwig would be stupid enough to pull the 'not human so we can do whatever the hell we want to them' card and have an alien ambassador dissected. Then we'd be on the receiving end of a justified version of Independence Day, only without the deus ex machina computer virus to save our sorry butts.
*Sigh* Yep. I want to see them go through this. I want them to actually fall in love, and go around recruiting the ancient magical creatures of Earth for this project, and succeed in everything. ...And then I want it revealed that they're screwing both the UN and Equestria over royally, and there's nothing they can do about it. I almost feel sorry for Starlight, since apparently Scott will eventually consider her a friend, but if she doesn't like it, I hope they steal her amulet and drop her out of a plane without a chute...
Wow, and here I though I couldn't be any more pissed off at those arseholes, then they show me that they can be even bigger cunts.
Sooooo wanna see Chryssie pound on Starlight until she stops moving. That government guy too. Maybe cram that pendant into her throat.
She'd look Sexy in a witch's hat, though.
Fuck you too Cadance. Fuck you too. And Celestia, your easily scared quadruped furies, aren't exactly any better than us, you just got lucky with them there.

Hmmm... I wonder if Scott will be proactive enough to at least learn enough magic to get some sweet extra justified vengeance.

Never kill that which you can keep alive forever....
Wow, poor Scott must be so messed up by all of this.
8100600 Yes. Yes he is.
8100472 Well, Starlight is pretty arrogant for now.
Nope, I'm already looking forward to seeing Chryssy screw the UN over. I'm pretty sure Neil Armstrong didn't have to be shanghaied to go to the moon. Oh wait, maybe in the world of this pony-run shadow government, he did.

Truly the most import question brought up in this story.
Alright. It's almost 3 in the morning. Let's get some sleep... Oh look another story I can read.
I hope Queen Chrysalis helps our MC to harden his heart against the Equestrian Menace.
