Chapter 7: The Great Betrayal

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

It had been four days since Twilight returned and the Apple family was sitting down for supper. Something just hadn't seemed right with Applejack since Twilight had brainwashed the army. Granny Smith had noticed this and she decided she was going to find out. She asked, "Applejack, something hasn't been right with you here lately. What's wrong with you?"

Applejack was nervous but finally decided to live up to her element of honesty. She asked, "You swear you won't tell anypony?"

Granny Smith and Big Mac both swore that they wouldn't tell anypony so Applejack decided to tell them everything. How Twilight had brainwashed everypony else, how she had been pretending to be loyal to Twilight and how she wants to get out of Ponyville. When she told them this both of them gasped. Granny snapped, "And where are we supposed to go?"

Applejack replied, "Look, Twilight will be going to bed soon. Ah think we need to head out west towards Alicorn Island and warn Colgate. Besides, then we can be reunited with Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo."

Granny Smith looked at Big Mac and asked, "Big Mac, what do you think? Shall we do this?"

Big Mac enthusiastically replied, "Eeyep!"

They had made their decisions. They began to monitor the activities around Twilight's tower. Finally a couple hours after sunset they saw her turn her light off. Applejack looked at her family and said, "Ahlright, let's go Apples!"

Big Mac and Granny nodded back at AJ and they took off to the west. They knew that they would need to hurry and get to the coast as soon as possible. After three hours of flying at a much faster pace than normal they land at the coast for a snack. Granny asked Applejack, "Applejack, how long will it be until we have to get going?"

Applejack replied, "Well Ah am thinking that Twilight will be getting up in a couple of hours. Ah know how her mind works, if we are still relatively close to the coast, she will send her army after us. If we are further out, she will just let us go."

Very uncharacteristically, Big Mac asked, "AJ, do you even know the way to Alicorn Island?"

Applejack replied, "Don't you worry Big Mac, I know the way!"

After thirty minutes of eating and drinking, they continue their journey to the west. This time they flew a bit slower so they wouldn't use up all their energy. A couple hours later in Ponyville, Twilight woke up. While she was hungry she decided to take a look at what is going around the world. As she scanned the planet nothing seemed out of the ordinary until she looked to the west. There she saw the Apple family flying towards Alicorn Island. This sent her into a rage. She started shouting, "THOSE TREASONOUS ASSHOLES! I AM GOING TO KILL THEM!"

LaurFa heard her going into her rage and headed up to her room. When she arrived she heard Twilight shouting every obscenity in the book. She had a dresser levitated in mid-air and was ready to throw it at the door when she saw LaurFa standing there. She set it down and LaurFa asked, "Twilight, what has you so angry?"

Twilight screamed, "The Apple Family has betrayed us! They are headed to the west towards Alicorn Island. They are probably going to warn Colgate about our return."

LaurFa asked, "How do you know that they are headed that way?"

Twilight's eyes began to shine green and she shouted, "HOW THE HELL DO YOU THINK I KNOW YOU MORON? I TAPPED INTO THE EYE AND SAW IT FOR MYSELF!"

LaurFa screamed back, "You do not need to belittle me like that Twilight. We are all on the same side."

Twilight growled, "I'll do whatever the hell I want. I am in charge and you DO NOT challenge the authority of the Dark Goddess Twilight Sparkle!"

Finally after five minutes of them screaming and yelling Twilight was finally able to shut LaurFa up by threatening to banish her to the void. Things were very tense as the two headed down to the dining hall. Celestia saw Twilight's eyes a darker shade of green than normal and looked scared. Twilight saw this and asked, "What the hell has you so scared Celestia?" She paused and then sneered, "I'm surprised you haven't started bawling your eyes out."

Celestia shied back and replied, "Well I heard all the yelling and saw your eyes are a darker shade of green. What is wrong?"

Twilight decided to calm down since it was time for breakfast. She said, "I will tell all of you after breakfast. For now, let's eat."

After a rather tense breakfast Twilight led her allies and officers into the throne room and slammed the door behind her. She stomped up to her throne, glared at her allies and started, "Ok, you want to know why I'm in such a bad mood? I'll tell you. The Apple family betrayed us last night."

Lieutenant Southern Haze asked, "What did they do to betray us?"

Twilight decided to calm herself down so this meeting would run more smoothly. In a calm but stern voice she replied, "What I think happened is that they waited until they saw all the lights here in the tower turned off and headed west. Applejack knows how I operate so she most likely instructed her family to follow her west in the middle of the night."

Colonel Black Mist asked, "Twilight, where were they when you saw them this morning? Were they quite a ways out over the Pegasus Ocean?"

Twilight replied, "Yes, they were. That is why I did not have us go out after them. We will handle them when they are with Colgate during their attack."

LaurFa asked, "But what about my sister? She will probably just unmake us again."

Twilight smiled and replied, "If we do things just right, she won't be able to do that to us. I have a lot more power now than I did when she unmade us and so should the rest of you."

Galaxia asked, "So what do we do now?"

Twilight replied, "Well now Colgate will know to prepare her forces for war when they return. However, I think that the forces from the north will invade first, so let's prepare for that and then we will prepare for Colgate." She paused for a minute and continued, "DISMISSED!"

While Twilight was concluding her meeting the Apple Family saw Alicorn City off in the distance. Brevity and Scootaloo were out on the balcony when they saw three Alicorns heading their direction. Scootaloo was ready to fire on them when Brevity said, "Scootaloo, stop! It is your adoptive family."

Scootaloo got excited and asked, "Really? Applejack is coming?"

Brevity replied, "Yes, Brevity has a feeling that something bad has happened in Equestria."

The Apples landed on the balcony, Applejack ran up to Scootaloo and said, "Scootaloo! I'm so glad to see you're ok!"

Scootaloo replied, "Why wouldn't I be?"

Brevity asked, "Applejack, what are you three doing here? Has something bad happened?"

Applejack replied, "Yes, something very bad. I think we need to discuss this in a meeting."

The Apples nodded as they followed Brevity and Scootaloo into the throne room. There they were greeted by the rest of Brevity's allies. Before the meeting started though, the Apple Family ran up to Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom and engaged in a group hug. Applejack said, "Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, Ah'm so glad to see you're ok!"

Just like with Scootaloo, they replied, "Why wouldn't we be?"

Colgate approached Applejack knowing something bad has happened. She asked, "Alright Applejack, what has happened?"

Brevity got everyone gathered together and called Applejack up to the front of the room. She asked, "Applejack, what has happened? Brevity wants you to tell everypony what has happened."

Applejack started, "Well everypony, Ah don't know how the hay it happened, but Twilight and her minions have returned."

Brevity was stunned. She gasped, "What? Brevity unmade them, how could they return?"

Applejack continued, "Well Ah don't know what caused it but this green cloud drifted in from the north. When it passed over the very place that they were unmade, five bright balls appeared and out of them came Twilight and her allies."

Colgate got a sick look on her face. She interrupted, "Oh shit, some of my officers might have been right. The fallout from my nuke test in the far north caused them to return."

Brevity snapped, "WHAT? YOU TESTED A NUCLEAR SPELL IN EQUESTRIA?"

Colgate replied, "Yeah, I did. I did it in the far north and that is what caused the void to be torn open. I never imagined that the fallout would drift that far south."

Luna, wanting to get things back in order, interrupted, "Look, we can't go back and change things. All we can do is keep our composure and ready ourselves for a nasty battle upon returning to Equestria."

Brevity still had a vicious scowl on her face but replied, "Luna is right, we have to remain focused." Brevity paused, looked at Applejack and continued, "Besides her returning, what else has happened?"

Applejack continued, "Well she has taken control of the great eye because it is back to being green. From what I understand she nearly killed herself blowing up the doors to the archives and she has brainwashed everyponyelse in Ponyville. Us three were the only ones who escaped falling under her spell."

Brevity replied, "Well at least three of you remain free of her spell."

Applejack finished, "Also, she knows about the return of Sombra, Chrysalis and Cadence so she is preparing everypony for their invasion, which she believes will happen within a couple of weeks."

Brevity replied, "Well good. Now we will know when a good time to leave for Equestria will be. Brevity will use her sixth sense to know when they are being attacked. At that time we will leave."

Everypony agreed with Brevity's plan. While Colgate is officially the one in charge of everything Brevity has knowledge and special abilities that nopony else in the world, perhaps even the universe has. With Brevity on her side, Colgate was certain that they would crush Twilight once more.

Invisibility----"Whether it be one or a bunch of ones, nopony needs to see so that we don't have to flee, invisibility is the treat of not having to retreat."

Visibility---"The unseen shall now be seen, with their friends being present, hiding only shows resent, those who have disappeared shall now appear."

Duplication---"From one to two, two to four and so much more, when one is simple mere, more and more shall appear."

Banish to void--- "You have committed treason and that is not in season, you are a threat to me and I simply can not let that be, I can no longer be annoyed so you shall be cast into the void."

Loyalty spell---"From another to me, that is where your allegiance will now be, you thought your old commander loved you like pie when all they wanted was for you to die. With me all shall be great, there shall be no hate."

Giving drones a mind of their own---"those without a mind are in a bind, no longer shall they just be, but they will still be loyal to me, for officers they are now but they don't ask how."

Unbanish---"The one who has been banished has done their time, they are now forgiven for their crime, their time has come, now they need to contribute some, it is Equestria that they must serve or into the spiral of the void they shall curve."

Transform unicorn to Alicorn--- "The unicorn who has no wings is bound to the ground, they can not really get around, their smarts are great yet without flight they will be late, with these wings they will be great and they shall never have a bad fate."

Transform multiple unicorns to Alicorns--- "The unicorns who have no wings are bound to the ground, they can not really get around, their smarts are great yet without flight they will be late, with these wings they will be great and they shall never have a bad fate."

Transform Pegasus to Alicorn---"The one who can fly likes to fly free desires the powers that allow the unicorn to be, he/she wishes so much to levitate and create, rather than berate, for the winged one now has magic, without that it would be tragic."

Transform Earth Pony to Alicorn---"The pony without magic or flight is in a bind, for they feel like they have fallen behind, they work themselves to death, even to their very last breath, for now with magic and wings, great things shall be what life brings."

Increase size of pony---"The small one wishes they were tall so that they won't have to crawl, with height their future is bright and everything will be alright, for the small one is small no more, with height their happiness shall be galore."

Mature pony--"The innocent pony is unsure of who she wants to be, that may be cute but it is not what is good for me, she needs to mature if she is to be strong for without maturity she won't last for long, the naive one shall be so no more, for her maturity will carry her into lore."

Strengthen Armor---"The one without armor does not stand a chance, so it is what we must enhance, the unarmed one will likely receive death, with armor he shall continue to draw breath, without armor he will be torn to shreds like a rag but with armor victory is in the bag."

Activate Jade Alicorn---"The jade Alicorn will help me see all, without it I might miss a brawl, while the distances are great, I can see all the hate, wisdom is what comes along with the eye so that overthrowing me nopony will try."

Hurricane spell--- "The nice weather must come to an end, for without a storm the enemy will not bend, the wind shall be strong and my enemies won't last for long, a hurricane is a must so the tyrants will sink and go bust."

Fixing spell--- "The city was devastated by a storm, which is not the norm, their suffering is great yet we can not allow normalcy to be late, the city must be restored to the way it was before so they can pay taxes like they did before.

COLGATE'S SPELLS

Unlock---"The door is locked, but from me my information is blocked, a lot of learning I have to do, but with this locked I won't have a clue, now the door is open for me and infinite knowledge for me shall now be."

Lock---"Right now the door is not locked, from others the information is not blocked, the others must not be allowed to learn, for this is not theirs to earn, the door is now closed for all but me because infinite knowledge is not free."

Shatter Armor---"Our foes' armor is great, that is something I hate, with their armor they are strong, but them having armor is just plain wrong, now their armor is gone and it is time for them to say bye as they are struck by energy and die."

Return Blue sky---"The sky is purple which is ok for some, but it just makes me numb, for I miss the way it used to be, blue is beautiful to me, the normal sky shall be back and everything will return on track."

Drain pony---"The large pony is too big for me, for smaller the pony shall be, the size and knowledge will become mine, but the negative qualities is where I draw the line, for what must grow is my power, so that I may remain in the tower."

Change eye blue---"The green eye is not for me, for blue is what it shall be, the evil shall be banished as the good can not vanish, what shall return will be an eye of blue as it is the perfect hue."

Freeze time---"Tick tock, tick tock, look at the racing clock, what is short is time and being late is a crime, we must finish on top so it is time I must stop, with time froze, it is my enemies I shall bulldoze."

Unfreeze time---"Look at the clock, it is stuck in place, with this there can be no pace, everything is still but that does not fit the bill, for now the clock shall again run so everypony can have fun."

Time bubble---"A bubble is what we need, so from frozen time we can be freed, in this bubble we can move fast, while everything else is stuck in the past, it is frozen time which through we must pass so we will never be late to class."

Undo time bubble---"In the bubble time continues to run, but now the time outside runs and allows fun, the bubble must burst so we can quench our thirst, from the bubble we are now free and everything we can clearly see."

Release Brevity Thrash--- "She was banished long ago, but her power she will not forego, it is revenge she wants, it is her sister she shall taunt, for Brevity Thrash shall return once more and be more than just long lost lore."

PINKIE'S SPELL

"The changeling's power is good, but not great, they can fire ooze but not enough to make their foes lose, for them to be great, they must fire bolts of hate, the energy shall be strong so their enemies won't last for long."
