Twilight sat on her throne as a large amount of magic radiated from her horn. She was alone as she giggled, the large room echoed the laughter. Around her were five large statues, each were made in the honor of her friends. Twilight rubbed the bags under her eyes as her giggle turned into a hysterical laughter. The Alicorn hugged herself as she began to calm down, finally she relaxed and fell into the comfort of her throne.
"I hope this will take away my decaying mind," Twilight said aloud to herself.
Twilight felt as the temperature of the room grew ever so slightly, she sat up as she stared to the pair of double doors that lead to the hallway. Finally she heard hoofsteps and the mare that sat on her throne smirked. The door began to melt and Twilight shielded her eyes with her hoof.
"Can the Sun Princess please turn off her glow, it makes it harder to see your ugliness," Twilight eyerolled.
"I thought we were about to be civil there for a second, I guess your tainted mind prevents anything but petty insults," Celestia no longer radiated her bright light.
"No, I'm just trying to give the cult leader the utmost respect!" Twilight moved her hoof to the armrest.
"Enough! Your entire nation is gone, where is everypony?" Celestia stared daggers.
"Do you like the statues of my friends? I made them yesterday," Twilight chuckled.
"DON'T CHANGE THE SUBJECT!" Celestia roared as she clashed her front hooves into the ground and shattered the marble floor.
"Fine, I turned all of them invisible and they have surrounded you," the lavender mare laughed.
"TWILIGHT!" Celestia screamed in pure hatred.
"Try not messing up my spell, its rather important," Twilight leaned back in her throne.
"Twilight," the white mare sighed. "We come to finish the war and here you are, without a single pony by your side. If you have hidden them away we will find them and you know this, what is your game here?"
"Sorry I don't talk to rulers who lie to their kingdom," Twilight smirked as she looked at the Alicorn uninterested.
"YOU!" Celestia rubbed her head. "At least I didn't raise the corpses of my fallen soldiers!" she looked away, "Don't play her game Celestia!" the Alicorn looked up in realization, "'Game,'" she peered at the lavender mare. "WHY ARE YOU STALLING!"
"Do you read?" Twilight dug under the throne and threw a dusty book to the white mare.
Celestia caught the book and flipped to the book mark. She burned the book as she finished reading and she stared daggers at the smug pony sitting on her throne.
"You burn books too-"
"TWILIGHT, HOW MANY PONIES HAVE YOU KILLED!" the white mare yelled.
Twilight with a smug face shot a laser at the statue of Applejack, the stone crumbled and fell to the ground revealing a huge tank filled with a purple glittery liquid. Celestia looked upon the tank with immense sorrow, she trotted to it, lost in thought. Twilight looked away, a tear formed on her face and she quickly wiped it away.
"No, no, no. Twilight, you did, didn't you?" Celestia's eyes blinked from one corner to the other, she put her hoof on the tank and it grew limp, falling back to her side. "Twilight, the time spell with this much power won't bring you back that far. Not only that but I will still remember with you. Twilight I ask this if any part of you in there is still good, let me kill you. I can fix this!" she smiled.
Twilight casted four more lasers, each hit the other statues of her friends. They all crumbled and revealed tanks of the liquid, each of them filled to the brim.
"TWILIGHT!" she yelled. "HOW MANY KINGDOMS HAVE YOU KILLED, HOW MANY CHILDREN DID YOU SLAUGHTER!?"
Twilight laughed, she fell to the floor and she rolled around. The Sun Princess was sickened, the mare in front of her was so utterly evil that comparing her to trash would be a insult to anything thrown away.
"Why does it matter? They will all be back as soon as I cast the spell," Twilight smirked as she rested her head on her hooves.
"You are sick," Celestia couldn't even look at her enemy. "You best hope that whatever time we stop at, you have a lot of magic and a lot of companions because I won't rest until you are killed."
"Sounds ideal, now let us continue this war!"
Twilight casted the spell and everything went white.
Harlan Elison once said "(Isaac) Asimov had writer's block once. It was the worst 5 minutes of his life.".
Depending on "How do you count" he wrote or edited over 500 books (including many shorter works collected into books) including an autobiography,
a biochemistry text book, MANY series of sci-fi novels + stand alone novels, books of poetry (limericks), annoted some books of the Bible,
wrote a monthly science column for a sci-fi magazine, wrote the yearly updates for The Thinking Man's Guide To Science, several series of mysteries + stand alone novels & is the only author to have published a book in every major category of the Dewey Decimal System. +Wrote intros for MANY other authors.
Also really liked this idea. The mind is a funny thing.
Totally agreed with the note too. I expected cloak and dagger to not cause collateral until the right moment.
This one just seems a bit pointlessly edgy. I guess it works as a joke, which I would imagine is what you were going for with it, but I can't imagine myself ever taking this seriously as a full story.

I didn't spend too long in the editing phase for these stories, I was originally not going to post either because I felt they both on their own was not good enough. Not my best work of course but I tried an make it fun. One on one with Sweetie Bot with this story was hard, she wasn't a character that one could bounce off real well I guess. The edge in the second story was intentional and I tried using it in a way that could reveal things in the past such as calling Celestia out on lying to those around her. I know making a reference to a cool story doesn't mean that the story that references it is good but I thought that the idea of the story was fun and wanted to share.
Sorry if this message seems a little rushed I'm on a time crunch.
