Royal Guard Findings: Informing Princess Celestia
It's been a few days since Princess Luna and Discord were around. The two are time traveling to pivotal events of the Royal Guards and their change in demeanor throughout the years of Princess Celestia's reign. Princess Luna and Discord document and found some revelation on two cults, Dark Ponies and the Dark Order. The two have different agendas in terms of ruling all of Equestria. Princess Luna and Discord were not pleased with the Royal Guards throughout the ages ever since Celestia moved to Canterlot.
It's now 6:30 in the afternoon. Discord and Princess Luna return from their trip. They enter the throne room with vital information. Princess Celestia pardons everypony in the throne to have a private meeting with her sister and Discord.
"So, how did the investigations go, Luna?"
"Discord and I found out the Royal Guards have changed their perspective in terms of protecting you and everypony in Canterlot. Leaving everypony else to defend for themselves in Equestria."
Princess Celestia is appalled from hearing that immediately.
"The moment you moved in, two hundred years later, the Royal Guards main priorities were in Canterlot," Discord noted.
"They chose to delay a lot of situations they deemed too far from Canterlot. Sister, there is corruption within the Royal Guard."
"Also, the wealth is controlling your Royal Guards. Their mindsets are altering the Royal Guards into receiving a huge haul of bits in return."
"There isn't enough training for local police to handle any circumstances as the Royal Guards are capable of handling," Princess Luna clarifies.
"We've seen a lot of unfortunate events. The Royal Guard reports what they've seen, wrote how they did it, and moved on. We found two active cults that dates back during the millennium of our research."
"Not only that Discord, Celestia; some of the higher-ranked Royal Guards excused themselves when trouble was more outward of Canterlot. We've seen they'll only respond to immediate as long as you give the order to investigate."
Princess Celestia looks at the ceiling in disbelief and sorrow. All of this happened due to her living with the wealth and the Royals? The Royal Guards normally protects all of Equestria in their accord. She starts questioning her decisions about staying put in the Castle of the Two sisters or not. Would the outcomes differ? She turns to her sister and Discord.
"Any good from what you've discovered?" Princess Celestia asks. Hoping to hear the good news, anything to relieve herself a bit.
"The Royal Guards were more involving in helping ponies in crisis throughout all of Equestria during your millennium reign. However, they were more involved before you ditched your first castle," Discord states.
"The Royal Guards let down a lot of ponies throughout the ages except Canterlot. Anything and everything in Canterlot, they delivered in terms of their oath. The same goes for you throughout the ages. The Royal Guards were always by your side when you need them."
"Another thing Celestia," Discord issues. "There were a lot of dropouts from the Royal Guards that scattered across Equestria, creating the local police departments in terms of handling things without the Royal Guard's assistance. Local police all around Equestria has failed to stop powerful cults and creatures that arose."
"We believed that the Royal Guards were purposely neglecting the dropouts. They delayed assistance so everypony knows how important the Royal Guards are and why you should never take them for granted."
"What?!" Princess Celestia panics a bit.
"That or an active cult member is in charge of the Royal Guards and commanding what to do."
Princess Celestia is hoping the second claim is more suitable. And yet, it frightens her more. She doesn't know her Royal Guard well enough. She even questions Shining Armor's doing as Captain of the Royal Guards. Discord and Luna can see the frustrations from Celestia just by looking at her eyes.
"So, my Royal Guard has not kept an oath to protect all of Equestria. Is that what you are informing of me?" Princess Celestia asks while taking deep breathes.
"Yes, dear sister. The Draqonecuus and I found more than enough evidence to see the corruption of the Royal Guards."
"So, if we were to move, then they will follow us? They'll have to change for the better, right?"
"We're not entirely sure, Celestia. They react differently."
"So be it," Princess Celestia reply. "From what you are telling me, they failed Equestria throughout the centuries of my reign," Princess Celestia gets a little teary. "All those ponies, those that are heavily affected, I feel so ashamed with myself. Throughout the years, I believed that there was nothing wrong, taking my duties seriously every day and night. Setting my priorities high and not asking daily reports of the Royal Guards. Just letting them be as they handle Equestria's protection duties except for crucial moments and circumstances. What Night Glider said the other day, that's given me a mental scarring." Princess Celestia sighs heavily.
"Understandable, dear sister. We now understand her situation. We saw what the Dark Order has done. How the Royal Guards didn't do anything after hearing reports of them."
"Starlight's justice system is bearable compared to what the cults and Royal Guards have done to the innocents," Discord said.
"Thank you for the info, you two. I have a lot to think about."
"When do you plan on visiting the village, Celestia?" Princess Luna asks.
"Tomorrow. I want to hear the stories from all of them. That way, I can improve the Equestrian Guards."
"There's no Equestrian Guards," Discord claims.
"Not yet. The Equestrian Guards will be the new and improve security of all Equestria. The Royal Guards will remain in Canterlot, after the time is right for me to leave."
"Leave?" Princess Luna and Discord said in unison.
"You said it yourselves. The Royal Guards changed two centuries after I moved to Canterlot. I refuse to allow history to repeat twice in one lifetime," Princess Celestia verifies.
"How long will that take?" Luna calmly asks.
"Depends on how smoothly things play out. After the cults are no more."
Discord and Princess Luna nods in understanding. They leave the throne room, giving Celestia much-needed privacy to collect her thoughts on improving better protection for all of her ponies.
I promise I'll make things better Princess Celestia thought to herself.

Personally I hope the problem with the Royal Guard is that there are cult members or their rich sympathizers implanted or influencing high ranks rather than the organization being rotten to the core.
If that's not the case, then Shining Armor would have to undergo an interrogation of his own since he was the Captain.
How much public support do the police forces have in Equestria? Even when Celestia is able to kick the Royal Guard into shape and set up the Equestrian Guard a lot of towns who suffered would be hesitant to trust the new guards for protection and might want to keep their local police forces.
I'm curious how S.A. himself is going to react to all this, nonetheless explain himself as well.
10403988
Hrmmmm maby the new guards made up from the police forces to help settle the people's mistrust by having these they know would die defending them
I had a feeling the Royal Guards were driven by something like wealth or there was a member of one of the cults was among the guards. I also think that explains why Diamond Tiara left as the trainers were so harsh on her. That or that’s how most military trainers are.
The Royal Guard became arrogant and prideful after the relocation, and believing that they were there just to guard royalty and the city of their domicile...
I have a feeling that the most effective way to ''punish'' them, is for Celestia to publicly apologize and ask for forgiveness, to Equestria with the exception of Canterlot.
Because of her lack of management in regards to Equestria's Royal Guard.
Maybe something more.... like this:
10404260
That could work.
10403840
What if Twilight and her Friends and every pony in Ponyville come Starlight's Village?
10403996
With as much disbelief as Celestia I assume. We know the pony he is, loyal and valiant, risking his life for all of Equestria. Especially since he's a Prince/Emperor now, his duties are to the ponies themselves. Not to mention he became a royal guard because he cared.
10404767
Ergo, he'll be fine.
10404671
Won't happen not as long as their memories of where it is are still erased & the village's location isn't on the map. Besides the mane six are the only ones who know where & no pony else in Ponyville does.
10404870
As long as Discord doesn't secretly changes mind, every pony won't go into an all-out war.
10404905
Exactly.
10405436
Applebloom and sweetie belle are trying to decided if they should accept the mane's apology. Do you think they'll have second thoughts about it?
10405547
As of now, not really. If this happen for real in the series I'd say they wouldn't accept their apologies until the series was canceled after season 5. Hopefully by then they would've gotten their own TV show.
10406660
I just remembered something. Scootaloo's Aunts are still in the village. I haven't heard from them since.
10406708
I'm sure they'll come back into the picture soon.
10407385
What happens if Scootaloo's Parents see Rainbow Dash saving their daughter's life from The Dark Order?
10407941
Not sure as of now, we'll have to wait & see.
10407987
Hopefully, Snap and Mane won't be too pissed
10408072
What if Starlight punishes the main six by making them work in the village for the next ten month?
10407987
What if Starlight Glimmer Punishes Twilight and her Friends by having them work in her village for Ten Month?
10408072
Hopefully indeed.
10408270
Then it means Ponyville will have to come up with ways to survive without them which will probably be difficult.
10408564
I imagine that even in starlight’s death there will be no one to take her place.
10408563
Here’s my thought. Discord would use his magic to bring only twilight, rainbow dash, applejack and rarity’s memories back and send them to starlight’s village. When starlight and everypony Sees them, they would be pissed and Will likely take away their cuties marks away but this time Discord snaps fingers and remove her horn away. Before she could have every pony attack them, Discord will use his chaos magic to freeze them in their tracks. They can’t talk but, they can still hear everything. Discord will motion twilight to speak her mind about the justice system.
These are her words.
“Starlight, everypony, while I don’t like you taking away cutie marks, you’re justice system sounds accurate. However, stealing cutie marks dosen’t make you a hero it makes you a bad guy which would make all of you bad guys. You should reconsider and release all the Cutie marks and Give those ponies a second chance since they might learn their lessons. Because sooner or later somepony will take your cutie marks away and you and everypony will know what it’s like to lose them. Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, we know that you don’t want to accept your sisters and idol’s apology and we know that saying sorry doesn’t always work. But their are different ways for them to apologize without saying sorry wether you like it or not. Everypony In Ponyville missed you and they feel bad about it they have been searching for you girls for several months they want to not only make amends but they want you to come back and at least give applejack, rarity, rainbow dash and Ponyville a second chance. Discord you can release them.”
After that speech and Discord’s freezing spell Discord teleports everypony and CMC and scootaloo’s family to Ponyville where everypony sees them. how do you think starlight and everypony will respond to what twilight said and being sent to Ponyville?
10409740
Right.
10410347
Discord won't bother for he's now the village protector for starlight's village & he's already stretch the idea of telling the others to leave the CMC's be & move on. Although your idea might work but starlight only stole the C.M's of those who wronged her village resident's & became more a danger to them. Even if she did gave them back it might only make things worse off than it already is.
10410432
So in others words, starlight glimmer and cmc and those ponies who follow starlight won’t be happy to see the ponies of Ponyville despite their forgiveness.
10410549
Probably for the element bearers basically BLEW UP the bridge of their relationship with them beyond reparable at this point no matter how much good they do for Equestria or for themselves.
10410557
I bet in this next chapter we get to know how starlight started this justice which will basically have something do to with sunburst getting a cutie mark frist and not her.
10411013
Probably.
10411071
What about Twilight's speech gave them?
10411071
What about the Speech Twilight gave Starlight and every pony? how do they respond to that?
10410427
What if The Mane Six died in front of Starlight Glimmer?
10411400
They'll probably won't change their minds seeing how much she's already botched things up for her friends. Maybe Celestia will do better & hopefully Luna will come to terms as well.
10412825
They might consider but only as long as she & everyone else from Ponyville leaves them be for good.
10413200
How?
10413582
Can I pet starlight when she’s pissed off?
10413200
Heart attacks.
10413200
They would suffer heart attacks while only twilight dies from eating a poison muffin by sugar belle.
10410427
Pinkie pie, Fluttershy would suffer heart attacks.
Rainbow dash, applejack and rarity would commit suicide after their sisters/sister figure rejected their forgiveness.
Twilight sparkle would eat a poison muffin made by Sugar Belle.
10413600
No, wait until she's cooled down.
10413618
Not happening unless they forgot Equestria still needs them, besides they've mange to go one year without the CMC's around, ergo somehow they'll move on.
10415491
She will bark like a dog won’t she?
10415603
No, she'll use her magic to keep you away actually.
Try three or four.
