Fall of a King

        Pinkie was storming through the palace. Searching every room as they didn't find the king in the Throneroom. She knew the king had no way out as the palace was built with only one exit, the main doorway, which was being guarded by Twilight and Fluttershy.

        Finally she found the only locked door in the palace. Judging by the similar designs on the door as on the main door and thrown room door, it held great importance to the king. After analyzing it for about a minute, Pinkie decided it was the royal bedroom, telling from the numerous symbols involving slumber.

        Scaleblade and the other Nords prepared to knock down the door as Neloth and a small selection of conjuration and Desctruction mages got ready for any attack. Pinkie asked applejack to go retrieve Twilight and Fluttershy.

        Scaleblade had conjured a magical battering ram for the Nord to break into the room. They picked it up, surprisingly heavy, the began to position it right so it would hit the doorknob and open the door easier. Then they started to swing it back. Pinkie watched as the slightly see through purple battering ram swung at the door.

        BANG

        It hit the door leaving light damage.

        BANG

        Once again it hit, not fully opening the door, however it did take the doorknob off.

        BANG

        Then the door finally opened to reveal king BloodHoof, about five or so Thalmor (only two of them happened to be mages), Rarity and Ink-Wing, with the kings sword held up against their necks "Ah, Empress Pinkie I presume?" The king spoke with little to no fear "Names King BloodHoof, but you can call me Emporer because... well, that's what I am!"

        -High above Cyrodiil-

        "Paarthunax? What if we arrive, after they defeat the king?" Odahviing question the much older dragon.

        "That is the goal. My plan is to make sure they are transported back to Cyrodiil after they have started the chain reaction," The elder dragon explained as he flapped his wings "Then Nirn will be ruled as it was meant to be."

        -Thalmor Royal Bedroom-

        "BloodHoof, hoof over my friends!" Pinkie Shouted at the surprisingly laughing Emporer.

        "Oh are these your friends? Well it good your here! You can watch me personally escort them to their deaths." BloodHoof announced, bringing his sword closer to his hostages throats.

        "By the nine-"

        "Eight!" BloodHoof shouted.

        "BY THE NINE, IF YOU DO AS MUCH AS PLUCK A HAIR OF THEM I WILL HAVE YOUR HEAD AND NOT ONLY THAT BUT SEND YOUR SOUL TO THE SOUL CAIRN TO BE PERSONALLY TORTURED BY THAT HORRIBLE REALMS INHABITANTS!" Pinkie shouted drawing her sword getting ready to lung at him.

        "Ah ah ah, you see if you kill me, my remaining guards will kill you, ending the war as you do not have any heirs." He smiled.

        "You don't have foals!" Scaleblade shouted.

        "That is correct Nord, however my men recently stumbled upon Dwemmer cloning technology. In fact I have an entire army of BloodHoof III's ready to rule the Thalmorian empire at a moments notice," BloodHoof explained "Besides, I'd like to have a civilized conversation with you."

        Pinkie calmed herself down, sheathing her weapon "Very well, what would you like to speak of?" Pinkie asked with a slightly annoyed tone.

        "Why you, my girl! Where are you from? Who were your parents? What was it like growing up? That sort of thing." The emperor explained.

        "Very well," Pinkie didnt want them to know she was from another dimension so she would just replace Ponyville with Rorikstead and Cantorlot with Solitude "Well I was raised on a rock farm north of Rorikstead-"

        "A rock farm?" Inturupted the emperor "How do you gorw rocks? Nevermind, that's like asking how anything grows in Rorikstead. Continue!"

        "Not long after I moved into Rorikstead and worked at the Inn making treats like pies, cakes and such. After making friends with Twilight, AJ, Rainbow, Fluttershy and Rarity I started to go off on adventures more, as well as visit Solitude more often." Pinkie explained. It was at that point that she hatched an idea "Do you mind if I exit the room for a moment? I must speak with my Governer generals."

        "Very well, please don't take to long as I may kill your friends if I get too bored!" BloodHoof replied as Pinkie, Neloth and Scaleblade stepped out.

        "What is it?" Scaleblade asked

        "Do you two know of a spell of shout to telepathically speak with a pony, without others near them hearing the messege, like projecting it into their minds?" Pinkie asked.

        "There is no shout however Neloth here might know of a spell." Scaleblade replied.

        "It's a work in progress and I have never tried it before on ponies, most of my animal subjects went insane before committing suicide in the most horrific of ways," Neloth explained, putting a nervous expression on Pinkies face "A small few didnt go insane, however did lose a sense of some kind, mostly taste, sight and hearing."

        "Well... We're gonna have to risk it... Here's the plan, I'll need you to project it into Rarity's mind..." Pinkie began.

        -Thalmor Docks-

        Paarthunax and Odahviing landed a short distance away from the Stormcloak ships. As the archers began to draw there bows Paarthunax spoke "Sheath your weapons, we are Paarthunax and Odahviing. We serve Governer General Scaleblade."

        They withdrew their bows "Friggen mortals." Odahviing muttered.

        -Thalmorian royal bedroom-

        Pinkie, Neloth and Scalenlade entered the room again. Rarity got the message as they were outside "Ah, Empress were back! What did you have to talk about with your generals?" Emperor BloodHoof asked.

        "Nothing much, just... taking notes on your behavior." Pinkie noted the odd way that she was having a conversation with her enemy.

        "Ah what have you gathered so far?" The emperor was distracted. As he continued to converse with Pinkie, Neloth looked to Rarity who in turn winked at him. Then she quickly bucked BloodHoof in the face.

        When she did that the Thalmor guards aimed right at her but before they could attack Neloth and Scaleblade had them skewered on ice spikes in the wall. Now the plan was done, the king was injured and unable to move, guardless as well as having Rarity and Ink-Wing freed.

        "Well. I new by the end of today I'd die." The King stated. His left eye gushing blood.

        " You have slaughtered, imprisioned, tortured and slaverized my people and for that you will pay,"Pinkie looked at him withe a look that could peirce the very soul "You have not hurt me personally, however young Ink-Wing here was orphaned thanks to you and Saleblades family taken away. Nopony has mor right to kill you than them so i'll allow them."

        Scaleblade than allowed Ink-Wing to help hold his blade as the two beheaded the king. So ended the battle of the Thalmorian palace.
