I'm a brony and a Pinkie Pie fan but I like all of the mane six, as well as Spike. I hope to provide some entertaining and interesting fanfics for the Brony community.

(Story idea requested by ObeliskX on FanFiction.net.)

Twilight Sparkle's quest to travel to the world beyond the mirror and retrieve her crown ended in failure, Sunset Shimmer managed to harness the power within said crown to defeat Twilight and conquer Equestria. She now rules over it with an iron hoof, controlling the sun and the moon.

But Sunset has begun to resent the way she is seen by others, especially when she has to also grapple with the constant strain of maintaining the illusion of harmony in Equestria. Desperately, she begins to search for a way to restore Equestria to its former, peaceful state.

Meanwhile, having narrowly survived her encounter with Sunset Shimmer's demon form, Twilight Sparkle faces her own struggles with getting back to Equestria. And even then she must grapple with the fact that it will not be as it was when she left.

There’s a tag specifically for Sunset’s demon form.

Sometimes a period of separation and contrition is the best way to healing and reconciliation. This ending was a nice touch. Good job.

However, Celestia rose to her hooves and protested. "Please, there's no need for violence. I hate to admit it, but Sunset holds all the cards. There is little we can do to stop her, especially not so long as she continues to have that army at her beck and call."

Actually, there’s a lot you can do.

Fluttershy whimpered and shrank as her friends all huddled around her, trying to varying degrees to be brave. "P-please, we don't want any trouble. We don't want to fight you."

Speak for yourself, fluttershy.

The noblepony only whimpered and tried to shrink from Sunset's gaze. "Please, your majesty, I beg of you. You can throw me in the dungeon if you want, just don't banish me to the moon or the sun. I won't survive!"

How come they’ve never tried to rip the crown off her head?

"So Sunset turned into an actual demon when she put on your crown?" Rarity couldn't help but comment. "No wonder she looked so hideous and so odious! I just have to wonder why she hasn't tried to change her appearance to something more presentable. If I'm being perfectly honest she doesn't look scary or intimidating, she just looks weird."

Then why are you scared of her?

Sure enough, a pang of pain shot through Sunset's body as her horn started to spark and surge, shooting off sparks at an alarming rate! "A-alright... alright... I'll talk!" She reluctantly insisted. "I never really wanted to rule Equestria the same way I ruled Canterlot High. All I wanted was to be made a princess and be equal to you, to Celestia. But when she refused to grant it to me, I had little choice but to get her out of the way. At the time, turning her to stone was the only thing that made sense."

Man, throw her in the dungeon.

It took a great deal of effort (and several royal guards) to haul the huge block of stone out of its hiding place and out to the royal gardens overlooking the palace. The setting's symbolic nature did not go unnoticed by the six mares as they prepared to activate the Elements of Harmony to free the royal sisters.

Symbolic nature?

"Sunset Shimmer thought she'd killed me, but she was wrong. My friends and I were able to defeat her and take away most of her powers," Twilight explained to the royal sisters. "Everything can be explained in due time, but you need to hurry up and take back your abilities to control the sun and the moon. Sunset's unicorn body won't be able to contain such powerful magic, it'll destroy her from within!"

So what’s the problem?

"All this time, I never knew. I thought my former student had been lost to me," Princess Celestia commented and turned to look at Sunset Shimmer. The majestic alicorn had tears in her eyes again, but it was clear to all that these were not tears of happiness. These were tears of frustration and anguish. "Why, Sunset? Why didn't you ever come back until now? Why did you run away and turn to the dark side? You were my most promising pupil, you were destined for so much more."

Why ask these questions? Does it matter?

At that Sunset stomped a hoof down and snorted. "Was I really?! That mirror showed me what I could be, but you were always holding me back! I saw then and there that I could've been a princess just like you! I could've been worshipped, admired, respected and most of all adored! Admit it, you were afraid of me. You feared that I would become a more powerful alicorn princess than you and would eclipse you as you did your sister."

Man, turn her to stone.

"Lies! How long did you wait before you replaced me?!" Sunset demanded as her eyes narrowed. "A week?! A month?! It seems like you got everything you wanted when you took Twilight under your wing. You didn't have to say a word, I got the message the first time I came back to Equestria. You no longer wanted me, you'd regarded me as a failure. Then and there I made up my mind. I was going to prove you wrong! I was going to make you realize how powerful I could truly be! I would make you bow down before me and acknowledge me as better than you," She then let out a sigh. "It wasn't supposed to be this way. I didn't want to replace you like you did me. I only wanted you to realize your mistake."

Oh she crazy.

"Then go ahead, do your worst!" Sunset roared in defiance as she managed to break free of the royal guards' hold on her! "Do to me what I did to you! I can't simply run away and hide in the other world again, I'll be wanted for crimes in that world too and you'll just send Twilight to hunt me down. I know what fate awaits those who betray Equestria. Banish me to the moon or the sun if you so care. Imprison me within either for a thousand years, or perhaps even longer. Just get it over with!"

Welp, you heard her. Y’all know what to do.

No one that is, except Twilight. She boldly stepped forward and cleared her throat. "Princess Celestia, you must understand that Sunset Shimmer allowed us to defeat her. I can tell that her heart was not into our last fight, she wanted to lose."

Twilight, shut up.

"And you would've tried to burn me completely like you did in the human world. Your mere actions gave you away without you needing to say a word," Then she continued with her plea.

She did try to completely burn her.

"I know Sunset did a lot of terrible things, Princess Celestia. I know that you feel hurt by the way you parted terms and betrayed by the way she returned. But banishment is not the answer, it won't heal the wounds she's inflicted."

Yes it is.

"Then what would you have us do, Twilight Sparkle?" Luna questioned as her eyebrows arched upward ever so slightly. "The fact remains that she is a traitor in this world, and apparently quite the monster in that other world as well."

Thank you, luna.

Celestia turned back to her former student and now wept openly. "I can't bring myself to forgive you, Sunset Shimmer, even though I want to more than anything. For your own safety I shall accept your proposal. Your return to the human world shall be framed as a self-imposed exile. I will leave it up to the ones in charge in your world to decide how long it should last. Maybe someday it'll be possible for us to reconcile."

You have got to be kidding me.
