Effiela had never been in a fight before, especially with somepony who looked so experienced. She figured she would try to avoid close combat for a certain amount of time, and fly around Zecora, trying to distract her attention, then she would attack. Zecora, however, looking completely calm, seemed like she had no thoughts in her mind whatsoever. This made Effiela uncomfortable, she zipped past Zecora and came back around with greater speed, trying to throw a punch at Zecora's muzzle. Zecora easily evaded and counter-attacked with great force.

As the pegasus pony was stunned, Zecora flipped upon her front hooves and kicked Effiela higher up with her back hooves. After that, Zecora jumped up to Effiela to where she was directly underneath her, and she grabbed her wings and flipped places with Effiela, driving her down face first into the ground below.

Even more in pain, Effiela tried to stand, but could not defend herself from Zecora's next attack; a hooveful of poison ivy to her eyes.

"A Witch you may be,

but you now itch where you must see," Zecora said, as Effiela hooved Zecora directly in the face, catching her by one of the eyes and yanking it out with great force. Zecora screamed in pain, cursing under both Celestia's and Luna's names very pitifully. She fell down to hold the empty space where her eye was, breathing heavily and trying to bring herself back to her hooves, but Effiela double-axed her face-first into the soil below.

"Well, that was no fun," Effiela said with a slight laugh, putting a hoove on Zecora's head as she lay helpless on the ground. "I was really hoping that my first real fight would be a challenge, but it seems your supposed experience was only to throw me off so you could throw plants in my eyes. Those did not effect me! What did you expect me to do? Scratch my own eyes out?" Effiela then laughed at Zecora again.

Zecora tried her best to turn and look at Effiela, who still stood over her. "Surely I hit my target, but how could it not work?

I can't stress enough that a loss is me what it urks..."

"Could you lay off the rhyming for two buckin' seconds? ! Celestia dammit, it's like you're a broken toy or something!" Effiela yelled as she kicked Zecora's flank, flipping her onto her back. "That look of pain on your face... you in utter submission to my absolute power... I feel kind of sorry for you! I ought to tell you how I'm so resilient? Or shall I tell you in heaven?"

"I know not this logic with which you talk,

but if a place as heaven exists, upon its plains, I must walk..."

"Just tell me where the Alicorn Amulet is... come on... I haven't got all day!"

"If you do use its power, as the pegasus you are,

the strain will leave a significant scar!"

"I can handle it, you stupid zebra! That's what I'm trying to tell you, my body can handle anything!"

"As I have said, I will say again,

This item of which you speak is not here with me,

but by what you desire, I must truly ignore,

if you truly want to know, the answer is from within,

and hidden by what can only be accessed by blood and gore." Zecora pushed herself from Effiela's hold and stood up on her hind legs. "This power is too much for a troubled heart like yours to handle,

if I allow you access, it'll surely be a scandal!"

Effiela looked at Zecora and smiled, "I can see it now!" She excitedly exclaimed, jerking her right hoof back and jamming her entire leg through Zecora's chest and actively absorbing the Alicorn Amulet from a seal in Zecora's heart. She jumped back with the sparkling Amulet in her mouth now, as Zecora fell flat on her face again, gasping for air as her heart was bursted. Blood was pooling within her lungs and in her mouth, and she could not breathe without choking half to death with each breath.

Effiela looked at the bloody hoof and was mesmerized in the fact that she had killed once again, however, Zecora was not dead yet. This feeling, this power, she had never felt it before. She felt so alive, now that she was in control. Now that she herself wielded this new power. She only wielded it now, and all she had to do was put on the Amulet, and then it would begin.

"I have a rhyme for you Zecora.... and it goes a bit something like this... the kids at my old school used to chant this at me.

Na na na boo boo, I am better than you, stick your head in doo doo, your family will too.

I always craved for this control... but I guess I have alot of getting used to to do." Effiela put on the Alicorn Amulet and was enveloped by its red magic, which reflected in her eyes, as they turned red until she gained control over the overwhelming power of the magic flowing through her body. They then returned to their regular amethyst color.

"You cannot handle the power...

I... can't stress.... that enough... but if you can,

then surely, call... my... bluff..." Zecora vomited her crushed organs by force, as Effiela used telekinetic magic to bend the guts within Zecora's body, forcing her to cough up her insides. Zecora tried to speak, but Effiela used a piece of the hard earth below to smash her head. Upon hearing the crushing sounds splashing carefree within her ears, Effiela winced and grunted heavily, but upon seeing the greivousness of her killed prey, she began cackling like a witch.

"Witch Pegasus Effiela Claire!" Effiela screamed to the heavens, boosting herself up into the sky and past the clouds once again to see the bright sun, nearly blinding her. "That has such a nice ring to it! Does it not, Equestria? ! I couldn't laugh harder!" She felt her mind flood with spells she could now perform with her newfound abilities, and one such spell was clairvoyance. She used this and immediately was able to see in all of the Crystal Kingdom. Her first target. Surely, forcing Cadance into submission would be easy, as she was not as magically talented as Celestia, Luna, and Twilight were. She thought of her new speed and magical power now, and thought about teleporting. She concentrated for only a second, and it happened. Now one question bothered her, how come she was able to perform such high-level magic with a mere though, when somepony like Twilight, even Twilight, took years to master and perform correctly? Even with the aid of an item as powerful as the Alicorn Amulet, a spell should be complicated for her, let alone the teleportation spell. Was it Queen Chrysalis' DNA along with her own PPU gene? It could have been, on top of the fact that she was already aware of and good at charging magic through her body and had beem doing so and researching it for nearly a decade now. Some of this knowledge was bound to help her out in some significant way. At least! And she was happy that it happened so immediately.

"Well, now I can get on with the plan, and if all goes accordingly, then this will be a breeze!" She thought as the wind blew through her mane, the cold currents did not bother her at all. "If my magic is THIS powerful, and I was already able to reach speeds faster than sound before... then maybe now, I can use an attack stronger than that of even the Sonic Rainboom. Judging by the name of the technique, I will need a rainbow themed mane, but I don't have that, so the effects of the blast will be silver. The Silver Nuke! Has such a nice ring to it!"

After laughing to herself for a awkwardly large amount of time, Effiela zipped down from the sky in the direction of the Crystal Kingdom, sensing the magical barrier which covered and protected it. She figured with enough force, she should be able to shatter through with no problem, and would now be able to see the full capacity of her theorized "Silver Nuke". Whipping over the top of the barrier and dashing up to get to a specific height, she looked down upon the Crystal Kingdom.  She got a good look at the happiness, and part of her conscience told her to stop. To give up this whole "become Pony God" idea. She saw the contempt of the crystal ponies and them with their families, living happily and in harmony. She almost felt her heart warm up enough to let them alone.

"Deliver to them true pain..." she told herself. "They are blinded by false happiness. This heaven of their's is not real..."

But where, oh where was her proof?

She delved deeper within the city and also found much pain. The deaths of loved ones, abuse, hatred, gossip, unholy lust, lies, stealing, bullying. Here was her proof, this was what she knew. It was all she knew. It was all she needed.

"It's all I know. It's all I need. It's the pain which I seek." She stood in the air with her front hooves stretched out, as if to let the sunlight hit against her body and warm her. "I must destroy them and build them back up, I must gain their trust by being the only thing they can possibly depend on. Once I do that, I will achieve the power of a god! All I have to do is let go of all my worries and let my body do the rest..."

After nearly an hour of meditation in mid-air, Effiela finally opened her eyes to look upon the Crystal Kingdom once again. She laughed at how puny it seemed now. It was only a speck of dust for her to destroy. Like the bugs, like Zecora, like father, under her hooves, it was all the same to her. To her power, all was a peasant which deserved nothing more than punishment and a force to lead it all to worship her like a god. All she had to do was start.

"Just start... All I have to do is just start... Start. Start. START!"

With her newfound courage, Effiela resolved to use her great power in magic and flight to destroy a country and force it into submission. She began her descent, falling as if she were diving into a pool of water. Thinking back with when she taught herself how to walk on water itself, she remembered to conduct her magic in a current through her veins. She reached top speed, but it was not fast enough, so she teleported between dimensions and gained a speed so great that the sound and light refracted from her body, resulting in a large halo rainbow which covered over the entirety of the barrier around the Crystal Kingdom. Mesmerized by the beautiful sight, the Crystal Ponies watched in awe as the halo spread outwards until finally disappearing. Effiela had been warped outside of the dimension to one where time was much slower due to her speed.

She kept descending at the same speed, not going any slower or faster than which she already was. And when seeing this dimension, she found nothing but cosmic colors and rainbows flying in all directions. The sight lured her interest in like a fish, and also made her feel sick. She could still sense the magic of the Crystal Kingdom and see, through clairvoyance, the effects of her first rainboom over the barrier. She could see the ponies cheering and hopping to the sight, as they thought it may have been a magic trick Cadance or Shining Armor had learned. After conversing about the blast, the ponies went about their days once again.

Effiela wondered where exactly she was and why she was there, but suddenly, she found she would never figure out, as she teleported under the ceiling of the barrier and used her Silver Nuke, using a hypercharged Sonic Rainboom along with the discharge of her own silver-colored magic. The explosive sound itself tore apart everything within a three mile radius before her, the light singed everything for six miles, while the magic itself left in the earth a massive crater destroying over 70% of the Kingdom itself with the exception of most of the outskirts and the Crystal Castle and Crystal Heart themselves. Then there was the force of the blast, which traveled all the way through, shattering the barrier and turning it into nothing more than crystal rain.

Effiela looked down at the terribly burned ground of the crater,  which she created, that she stood in. She felt slightly different, as if she were losing energy rapidly. She limited her use of the Silver Nuke to no more than twice a day. She felt the significance in the drain which it left on her body, even for somepony with as much stamina as herself. She thought, If I use that too much, I won't be able to stand up to anymore enemies... but if they're as bad at fighting as Zecora is, then I'm in for an easy victory.

She spoke too soon, as now an army of crystal pegasi (which guarded Cadance and Shining Armor) were flying towards her in perfect synchronous motion. The symmetry aroused her, but this was a fight, she had no time to sit and stare. She teleported out of the way of the pegasi and used a beam of magic from her hooves to blast them with. "Silver Cannon!" She shouted in zeal, as her new powers gave her lust for more. She thirsted for power now. It was like a breast for a young baby to suckle upon. She was that baby, the baby who could not live without milk. She could feel the thirst growing now, like a flower in the spring. Her desire welling up, her lust birning like a flame which had ignited a forest, this was only the beginning, and she got past starting pretty easily. All she had to do now was continue.

She followed after the surviving pegasi and knocked them all away with the force and turbulence of her flying. She was preparing to use Silver Cannon again, but felt a massive blade lodge into her back from behind. She jumped forward and turned around, finding a ground unit of unicorns collectively using a magic sword twice the size of Celestia to attack her. Effiela's wound regenerated, but the attack surprised her, greatly embarrassing her as well. She felt as though now they would look down on her for being open in that one moment. At that point in time, only for a moment, the unicorns thought they could win. Effiela covered her wings in blades as well, flying through the crowd of ponies, skewering them all on the blade of her magic sword and throwing them into a prison of magic which she made for the survivors.

"Did you really think, that even for a moment, you could really defeat me? Ha!" She mocked them as she prepared yet another Silver Cannon to burn her opponents to death with. Their begs for mercy further aroused her, it only made her want to hear their dying screams as they were burning alive. About to begin the torture, Effiela saw the Crystal Heart still standing tall in the distance, and knew that her true target was right before her. She simply buried the soldiers alive and zoomed her way to the Crystal Castle. Her desire only grew stronger as she felt her targets' presences getting closer and closer. Her desires were being fed by the power of the Alicorn Amulet, while her feelings and lust were eaten by the changeling queen's DNA within her. The Revolution had finally begun. Next Chapter: Act 1.
