After finding Flurry Heart lying unconscious in his kingdom, Bowser is enraged at what he found out, and sets his sights on killing the Caribou and taking over Equestria.
Rumble must have been one of the few fortunate guys. I doubt that Spike and Thunderlane will be able to live with themselves once they’re not mind-controlled anymore.
9717943 Considering the circumstances, they can be saved the pain of guilt toward actions not their own if the official telling of events after the Great Cleansing is that the ponies; all the ponies, stallions, mares, and changed stallions alike were raped by the caribou. Given that the first move of the caribou was a wide scale mind rape, it’s not a lie. The male citizens of Equestria, Spike included I don’t want anyone thinking I forgot him, are just as much victims as the females, and so telling them that they participated in the breaking and raping of mares is essentially a lie, because the wording of such a story carries the implication that they could be persuaded to do such in a normal state of mind. Even if the wording is that they were forced to participate, the subtext there is that they would agree to do so under pressure akin to an ultimatum. Chivalry and self-worth is too abundant in your average Equestrian male for either of those to be true, and as victims of a mind raping magic item, they cannot in good conscience be made to shoulder part of the blame.

Well, Thunderlane mostly. Spike's going through recovery by Twilight herself if she has to.
I think that Scootaloo and her group is going to be in for quite the shock when they see King Koopa come rolling into town.
Yay!
This is getting better and better
Great chapter
Loved it.
