The train whistled and hissed as it silently crept towards Canterlot station. Flame Rider paced nervously in his train car repeating the speech he had planned over and over in his head. Outside in the cold and dark many ponies gathered waving red flags and carrying poster's of the great leader Flame Rider. Many defective soldiers cheered waving their swords over their heads. Flame Rider looked out at these young revolutionaries and shook his head.

"You know you have to go out and give them the speech" Flame Rider's secretary said. Flame Rider shot a look at her and then looked back out on the many young ponies waiting for their new leader. Off in the distance, a great portrait of Celestia burned vibrantly and the screams of the innocent could be heard as drunk revolutionaries tossed molotov's into their homes and businesses. Flame Rider simply shook his head.

"This is not what I wanted" he finally spoke "This is not the revolution I wanted. Not a whole bunch of drunks running rampant through out the streets causing pain and suffering to those that have no part in this tale. I may have overthrown all of Canterlot and got Celestia ousted from power but why must the innocent suffer? Why Oh Why? A revolution is when the pony must take control of his own destiny and if someone prevents that from happening than they must be swiftly dealt with be it with the worker or the farmer not the aristocratic, bourgeois slobs that run this government!!" Flame Rider screamed angrily. He readjusted himself, combed back his mane, took 2 aspirin, and adjusted his tie. A black carriage appeared outside the train. A small pony with thick pebble glasses left the carriage and proceeded to Flame Rider's train car. He stepped into the train car and closed the door behind him.

"Hello Flame Rider, My name is Gray Thunder and I am here to take you to the podium at the square" the pony said taking out a small handkerchief and wiping the sweat off his forehead. Flame Rider pondered a short while and then cleared his throat and took a sip of vodka.

"Alright let's go and make haste. I have seen enough destruction today but the ponies must hear the cry of the revolutionary" Flame Rider spoke adjusting himself took look his best in front of the large crowd gathered outside his carriage.

"Very good sir, please follow me" Gray Thunder said opening the door to the train car. Flame Rider sighed and headed out to the many ponies gathered outside the train. As he stepped out of his train car the crowd erupted with cheers. Flame Rider waved his hoof to his supporters and smiled. They began to chant:

"Flame Rider"
"Down with Celestia"
"Flame Rider"
"Down with Celestia"

Gray Thunder led Flame Rider down to the carriage. Along the way Flame Rider shook the hooves of many of his supporters and waved his hat in the air. Gray Thunder was patient and waited for the great leader. Soon Flame Rider made it into the carriage not before waving his hoof in the air. Flame Rider sat down in the carriage followed by Gray Thunder.

"To the SQUARE!" Gray Thunder told the driver. Soon they were off towards the square so Flame Rider could give his speech. The great mass of supporters followed the carriage.

"I'm worried" said Flame Rider placing a hoof to his chin as he pondered.

"Worried about what?" Gray Thunder asked curiously.

"What if they disapprove of my speech and say it is not good at all and I will be thrown out as the leader and Celestia will be reinstated?" Flame Rider said rather worried and shaken up.

"Why would they do such a thing? You are their leader even if your speech does not hit home they will still trust you as their leader towards a new future trust me sir" Gray Thunder assured Flame Rider.

"I wouldn't be so hesitant though Thunder. These ponies are blood thirsty and only want the truth from me because they full well knew that Celestia lied and cheated to them. She filled their ears with deceit and clout. These ponies only want the absolute truth from their leader" Flame Rider said concerned.

"Sir you are just nervous. They will be worried more about how you deliver the speech not merely the words. Ah here we are now" Gray Thunder said. The square was filled with ponies young and old alike all waiting to hear from their new leader. Red Flags danced in the wind and banners bearing propaganda galore dotted the scene. The crowd would barely budge for the carriage as it made its way to the podium. The ponies saw it was Flame Rider and cheered far louder than before. Flame Rider shook all over and could feel his heart in his mouth. He wanted the best for his ponies and did not want to disappoint them. Soon the carriage arrived at the stairwell to the podium. Flame Rider held his breath and let out a big sigh. A soldier came to the door of the carriage and opened it for Flame Rider. Flame Rider felt he was gonna have a heart attack. As he slowly stepped out of the carriage Gray Thunder rested a hoof on his shoulder.

"You'll do fine just take your time" he said to Flame Rider who at this point was shaking down to his very core. Flame Rider felt the entire speech had left his mind. He slowly began to climb the stair's to the top of the podium each step feeling like a lifetime. Soon he reached the top and saw how many ponies had come to see him speak. Ponies not only filled the square but were on the roofs of the houses, the street lamps, and even on top of other ponies. Flame Rider was dumbstruck the entire speech he made departed from his mind. Flame Rider stepped forward to the microphone and looked down at the hundreds if not thousands of ponies that suddenly went into a hush tone waiting for their leader. Flame Rider cleared his throat.

"My fellow Comrades! It is time we take matters into our own hands. It is time we topple the aristocratic, bourgeois style of Celestia and her cabinet. For too long has she made us linger in the shadows barely making it by while she host expensive gala's and parties at the expense of our hard earned dollar" the crowd roared in applause but Flame Rider lifted a hoof and the crowd hushed again.

"We only watch as she entertains these unknown dignitaries and then goes flying off to some land on our hard earned money for expenses. But I say ponies it is time we take what is ours, we make our goods, we make our children smarter, WE MAKE THE FUTURE!!!" Flame Rider cried out. The crowd erupted in cheers and huzzahs but Flame Rider silenced them once again.

"I have a treat for you all. Bring her here!" Flame Rider called out. Three soldiers soon appeared on the stage with a figure locked in chains and with a bag over its head. The bag was removed and it was Princess Celestia bruised, beaten, and dirtied.

"Look at the princess now nothing more but a street rat for that is what she is. She caused the pain of our fellow ponies and she would probably do the same to our children but I say NO. We shall suffer no MORE!!!" he yelled into the mic. The crowd erupted into cheers and excitement. Celestia looked at Flame Rider in disbelief and anger.

"You know you can't win. You will fall into ruin just like all these other ponies because you drove them into the ground like a dog beaten by its master" Celestia spitted. Flame Rider grinned evilly at her before returning to the mic.

"Hear me out my fellow ponies the Princess has told me I am driving you into the ground like a dog beaten by its master. Do you think I would ever do such a thing? Its these lies that landed Celestia into this sort of matter. Its her fault we suffer the farmers, workers, all of you we suffer because of her. I say we throw her into a cell and watch her rot until the maggots feed on her bones and the crows peck out her eyes" Flame Rider said raising his hoove in an epic fashion. The crowd roared and cheered as Celestia was carried off stage to be thrown into prison.

"IT IS TIME FOR OUR US!!!" yelled Flame Rider. The crowd cheered, applauded, and huzzahed their new leader. Flame Rider had done it he had over thrown Princess Celestia and his rise to power had only just started. The Revolution Had Truly Begun.
