“So you have nothing to say?” Sunset asked Celestia, sitting on the throne of Canterlot Castle.

“I have nothing to say, you’re not my Sunset and this isn’t my world,” Celestia said sadly.

“No trying to talk us into giving back the magic to all those magical worlds and kingdoms?” Hotaru asked.

“I seen plenty of worlds where instead of sharing knowledge of magic it’s guarded and kept hidden. I seen worlds where it wasn’t hidden away and all the problems and threats that those magical warriors would had to face, either was easily taken care of compared to how it would had gone or the events needed to have them be the villains never happen. Instead like so many magic is just kept in the hands of a handful of people so that they be the only ones who can use it and never used it to improve things,” Celestia said.

“The magical kingdoms are all falling apart without magic and with that little technology they do have if at all, is worthless in keeping things running as they use to. There have been a few calls now and then from The ones who have a radio or something like that, calling for help. I explain to them what happen and why I turn off the magic. None of them been using it right and only keeping it to themselves, with them preventing anyone else from learning magic. All the portals are now sealed and the only one left will only reopen in a couple of years. By then the magic kingdoms will be all in ruins,” Sunset said.

“I know I have seen it happen many times in other worlds. Like what happens when oil suddenly runs out in the human worlds,” Celestia said. (1)

“The effects of no more magic had no effect at all on Earth. Besides the magic users from those magic kingdoms or are magical girls,” Hotaru said.

“Are you going to horde it to yourself?” Celestia asked.

“I’ll reveal myself to Earth in a few years once I’m sure that none of the magical kingdoms are in any shape to try to steal the magic that was never theirs to begin with as it’s only because of your counterpart not stopping the leaks. So that they know all what happen and use magic as a new source of energy,” Sunset explains.

“Then there is no reason for me to stay,” Celestia said.

“That’s it no trying to get me to change my mind?” Sunset asked.

“Why try to stop you when you’re doing what should had happen long ago. I see so many worlds where because a group of people think that by hiding something away and keep only to themselves, stop advancements and keep things that same, like I did. And you already are a better mentor than I was with how you been treating Hotaru,” Celestia turn her glaze at her counterpart who had her tongue rip out so that Sunset wouldn’t have to listen to her anymore, along with both her horn and wings removed.

This world’s Celestia is now nothing more then a servant of her student who took her throne from her.

“Both of us have failed in being there for our Sunset’s. I don’t know if you and her had a bond where she looked up to you as a mother figure. But I did with mine and only when I lost everything did, I finally realized that my Sunset wish the closest thing I had to a real daughter. Both of us had many students but Sunset was the only one that lived with me, who I cared for as she was still a young filly. I was her mother and didn’t realized it till it was too late to make amends. Which is why I been traveling from one world to another, like other Celestia’s have done before me. I met some who have made amends but too many just gave up or took in another Sunset, instead of finding theirs. I will never give up in finding my Sunset and make things right and earn her forgiveness. Which you need to do with yours. She kept you alive, even if it’s just to torment you. You should take this and earn her forgiveness for failing her. Or you’re just like so many other Celestia’s who only saw her as a pawn to be a replacement so that we can finally step away from the throne. That’s what I was doing with mine and Twilight before they both just walk away,” Celestia said walking away and opening a portal to continue her search for her Sunset.

1 - Seeing how many magical kingdoms run on magic only and nothing else. Without it their entire civilization will fall apart, like what would happen in real life when there is no more oil. And there is nothing to replace it.
