"For the last time," Masterpiece's spoke with her shape & form being made as Twilight came back to the present. "I'm not selling!!!"

"Oh come on," a ver charming sounding stallion spoke "I'm not even asking for a 5% discount, shouldn't that get your attention?" Twilight's vision came back and she saw that the stallion was one of her brothers, who's golden mane & tail were groomed to perfection, all on his luscious green coat. His cutie Mark was two gold bricks, and there was something about his smile that read 'Charming', but also 'sleaze-ball'  

"I'm not turning Elysium into another market area!"

"Then... can I have a painting for free?"

"NO!!!"

"...this is why you were never noticed." Masterpiece gave a stern look at him, nearly staring into his soul.

"If we weren't in Elysium right now-"

"Save it." He turned to Twilight Sparkle, and smiled his curious smile. "Ah! Twilight Sparkle! Would you care to help me in purchasing some of Masterpiece's fine line of work?" Masterpiece's horn glowed, and the two were sent away into the hallway. Masterpiece's door locked behind her, and a force field was made around the room. "That really wan't ladylike, was she?"

"Who are you?" Twilight asked

"Oh dear me! My apologies, I am Monopoly, the Prince of Money!"

"I guess that explains why you were trying to buy Masterpiece's paintings."

"Why do you say that? Is it because I have a lot of money!?"

"...Yeah, that's really it."

"Oh you flatter me! Sorry, but no, that's not it, it's really just to increase the value of my property!"

"...What!?"

"It's a business thing. Let me put in your perspective: remember the golden oak library in Ponyville?"

"...How can I forget it?"

"Well... let's say that it had a decent amount of worth behind it. It's about... as affordable for your local businesspony 'Filthy Rich' to buy it. Now, it's destroyed, but then, your castle came out of the ground! Due to it's size, it's materials used, and the fact it didn't require anypony to build it, it's basically enough to when Celestia can buy it! Ah... worthy stuff. Hate it when Inflation happens though."

"...Are you... this obsessed with money?"

"Oh yes! But also, as you guess, the value of many objects, resource handling, partnerships, sponsorships, and, as you can guess, finding loopholes in systems! Sure helps a lot when Bureaucrat tries to limit be back on Earth."

"What... do you run back on earth?"

"I run everything!"

"...Everything?"

"Everything! Stock marketing, as I call it! Soon, in the future, ponies will be able to gamble their money with business around the world!"

"...You really are a sleaze-ball."

"Oh please! I'm just doing what is necessary to help the world go round! Without me, nopony will be hard workers at all! They'd just sit down all day, not even caring about anything! I helped order become establish to the world after Tartarus fell, and while Yes, I do find loopholes in systems, I've placed my bits into charities, good causes, and, when needed, help Celestia get more soldiers before the changeling attack!"

"...You do those stuff?"

"Yes I do! Look, I know I seem like a bad guy, and most will think so too, but I think business, and everything is considered a bit of a gamble with me, but I do what I say, and I do what I meant. Besides, I hated Tartarus, even he did made me a prince."

"He WHAT!?"

"Oh! Shall I show you?"

"... I don't see why not."

Monopoly's horn glowed, and the vision of the past came.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Elysium shrunk herself down to pony size and disguised herself as a farmer pony. She stood next to a guard pony in a large crowd, but she could feel HIS presence.

"What are you doing here?" Elysium asked

"Is it much trouble for me just to walk here, Elysium?" Tartarus replied

"I can never trust you when entering MY kingdom, remember our agreement?"

"Oh yes! I'm not causing trouble though, am I?"

"... stay out of it, and there won't be problems. Anyways, where are these ponies going?"

"Somepony claims they have something that can make them become younger."

"Really?"

"Yeah... too bad we don't need it."

"Then why come here?"

"Too see how the ponies will attack the seller." Elysium gave Tartarus an angered look, but continued walking next him anyways. They followed the crowd, and came upon a small, makeshift building. A handsome looking unicorn stallion with an orange mane and light green coat stood inside, selling his product.

"Step in line, Everypony!" The stallion hollered "You know what this stuff does, right?" A collective 'yeps' and 'nopes' came from the crowd. "Well, to those that don't know, my specially designed juice will help anypony reverse aging! That's right, you'll become younger!!! I have different flavors, but all of them, I promise, will make you younger! Just listen to my favorite customer, and royal guard, Gleaming Shield!" Everpony focused on a mare that just looked like a gender swapped Shining Armor.

"Thanks to this juice," she spoke, sounding really grateful "I feel, NO! I am 10 years younger!!!"

"Who wants to buy!? Only 10 bits!!!" A collective gasp came from the crowd, and the ponies began to buy this stallion's juice! Elysium and Tartarus didn't believe one thing of this stallion, and they both walked to his window. He looked around his area, but it was empty. "Sorry good sir and madam, but I'm afraid I'm out until next week."

"Does this stuff really work?" Tartarus asked

"It sure does! Gleaming Shield spoke about it herself!"

"Yeah," Elysium replied, giving him a stern look "and did you know Gleaming shield once came from the land of Tartarus, the same time one of Elysium's men went missing!?"

"I... don't think that's accurate. Maybe Elysium knows, go talk to her about it!"

"Nah," Tartarus replied "We'll just bring her to you." The stallion froze and shivered a bit.

"Is... she above me?"

"Close." Elysium replied, turning into herself "She's in front of you."

"ELYSIUM!?!?!?"

"And Tartarus!!!" He yelled, turning into himself. The crowd of ponies saw the two together and, without much thought, they ran away, screaming at the sight of BOTH titans with each other, while others peeked behind bushes to see what's happening. The stallion shivered a bit, then tried to run away!!! He figured he ran a couple of feet ahead, but was stopped, as he felt himself lifted by his tail! Looking up, he saw the two as giants again, as Elysium used her magic to grab him by his tail. He began to hyperventilate, as he was placed on one of the hooves of Elysium.

"PLEASE!!!" The stallion pleaded "Don't hurt me!!!"

"I'm not going to hurt you." Elysium spoke in her motherly tone.

"BUT I WILL!!!" Tartarus replied, sing his magic to hold the stallion in the air and began to spin him in circles! The stallion screamed, seeing the world turn into a blur as he spun around quickly.

"Tartarus!!! Stop that!!!"

"What? I'm just having a little fun." Elysium used her magic and took the stallion away from Tartarus. The stallion's eyes rolled around, trying to get use to the sudden stop. He flinched when he saw Tartarus and backed up a bit, nearing the edge of Elysium's hoof! He stopped as Elysum's other hoof came up and stopped him from falling.

"We won't ask again: Does that stuff work?" He began to sweat a bit, but had to do it.

"N-No... it... doesn't."

"...Why? Wy did you sell it?"

"I... I hope to get a lot of money in the end of the week... to continue and grow until I can control this area."

"Control this area?" Tartarus asked "Why?"

"To... make a deal with you, Tartarus, just in case if... well... Elysium falls." Elysium made a confused look, but Tartarus smiled

"I like the way you think."

"WHAT!?!?!?" Elysium yelled, nearly throwing the stallion.

"He seeks power like me! He may not be the smartest, strongest, or well experienced, but he uses your money to gain control! I love it!!!"

"Y-you do?" The stallion asked, smiling back at Tartarus, forgiving on what he did to him earlier.

"Oh yes! Come here!!!" He used his magic and took the stallion away from Elysium! Elysium couldn't believe it: Tartarus was enjoying a pony for doing something so... different! The stallion shrieked a bit, as he was now near the nostrils of the titan!

"W-what are you going to do with me!?"

"This!" His horn glowed and it surrounded the stallion! Soon, wings grew out of his back!!! He was now an Alicorn like his children, but he stopped as he realized what he did to his kids. Using his new wings, the stallion tried to fly away, but was brought inside the maw of Tartarus! Tartarus got a hold of him, lifted his head, and swallowed.

The stallion fell onto the rough floor, seeing all the Alicorns inside, surrounding him. He got up and rubbed the dirt off of him, looking at his new wings.

"What brings you down here?" Bravehaert asked. He looked at the Alicorns inside, and figured, he needed to be calm.

"I... I sold something that didn't work and ponies bought it."

"Really!?" Eris asked, mushing his cheeks together. "Does that explain your cutie mark!?"

"...Cutie mark?"

"Yeah! On your flank!"

"Oh! That? I... guess so."

"What's your name?" Alloy asked

"... It's... Monopoly. My parents named me Monopoly."
