Chapter 12: Stealing it back
Previous Chapter Next Chapter"Did you not just hear what Ink-Wing said?" Pinkie hollered to signal that the guards can yield their weapons. Pinkie then proceeded to poor a drink of wine "Confound my friends, they drive me to drink."
"Excuse me your highness," Money-Scale, Governor General of Black Marsh, spoke up "Why exactly, were we called to a meeting?"
"Yes I'm curious as to why we are here as well." Governor General Neloth spoke up.
"Ladies and Gentlecolts, what I am about to say cannot leave this room, Understood?" Everypony nodded "Now, there was a dwarven artifact stolen form an excavation in Morrowind. Form what I'm told it wasn't completed yet by the dwarves, thank stendarr it wasn't, because it could result in total destruction of the empire if it had fallen into the wrong hooves"
"Exactly what is the function of this machine?" Scaleblade was curious.
"The machine has the power to send one or more individuals to and from Oblivion, this includes the deadric princes. It can also merge the planes of Oblivion and Mundus. Both situations ending in another oblivion crisis. However the machine is unfinished, for now." Pinkie sparked some interest in those present.
"What do you mean for now? Is someone planning to finish it?" Twilight was very intrigued by the machine and what it could possible do.
"Yes, now I've only been in rule for a number roof days now but I would like to address this problem. Along with the help of all you," Pinkie Explained "With the threat of somepony trying to use it against the empire, I also have a need for the machine myself."
"So you want us to find were it is, wait for the enemy to complete it, then steal it? I feel like there's something more to it" Scaleblade announced.
"Yes, we'll the currently, however not for long, useless machine is in the inner sanctum of the Palace of Blood." Pinkie replied.
"Wait, it's in the Thalmor Capitol city?!?!" Most of the Governor Generals yelled in shock.
"Yes, as well as when completed it will be the size of the Blue Palace in solitude." Pinkie just added to the frustration.
"Pinkie, why do y'all care 'bout this here Dwarf thingy? We need ta get home!" Applejack announced.
"Applejack, first I have been put in charge Tamriel and caring for its ponies, as a true leader I will stop trying to keep them safe. Secondly this is an essential key to bring us home." Pinkie explained.

"What's going on?" A familiar voice ringed inside the head of Sparkling Star's "Anything that can help me?"
"We'll the empress has called all of the imperial council and a few guests into a meeting, I'm not included because I'm no longer the imperial steward. I did get to speak with Governer General Scaleblade..."
BloodHoof interrupted "WHAT!?!? THAT NORDIC BASTARD PRICK IS ALIVE?!?!?!?!?!"
"We'll yes..."
"No, Sparkling he is the dragon born, he... Well temporarily killed the god of the end of the world. He killed a god! No doubt he will be able to take us out in a single hit! Kill him soon and make sure he suffers, Physically, Mentally, Emotionally, whatever you can do to break him!"
"Yes my king. I shall carry out your command." Sparkling star replied.
"Good, now I have to execute an assasin." With that sparkling heard no more of the kings voice.
-Ruins of Lakeview Manor-
A dark earth pony stallion wandered the ruins of the former mansion that belonged to his good friend and co-worker. Looking over the three corpses of his best friends family. Remembering Scaleblades children calling him uncle Shay.
It was depressing, even for his line of work. He thought his friend Scaleblade must be in emotional chaos. Poor guy. Maybe I should go find him and comfort him, he's always done the small for me. The stallion set off for imperial city, travelling by the night.
-White-Gold Tower-
"If it's so big, how do ya expect us to get out with it and not get caught?" Rainbow was wondering.
"Well, it is being held in a similar place to its original home in Morrowind," Pinkie explained "I thought that because Rarity, is an Altmer by looks we can get her to infiltrate the Thalmorian palace and learn the spell to move such a giant. Then teach twilight the spell, as she, along with many other Dunmer, has alarger magic deposit."
"And what do you intend to use it for, your majesty?" Neloth asked "What benefit is there if we recreate the oblivion crisis and not the Thalmor?"
"Oh no, I don't plan on bringing deadric princes here," Pinkie announced "I was thinking on visiting new sheoth in shivering isles."
