With our practice run of Teletubby land completed, his excellency used his so called staff to absorb the magic from the Teletubbies and then proceeded to give us all the results of the practice run. All of us were gathered inside the Teletubbies' igloo home while he stood over the destroyed body of the Noo Noo creature.

"Now, as you know this was a practice run," he explained. "So, there were some errors that you all committed. Let's begin with the obvious, you, Grubber!"

He pointed his staff at Grubber, causing him to gulp nervously.

"Uh, me?"

"Your introductory speech was…how shall I say it?...a lot to be desired! You don't sugarcoat my entrance for anything and I am not saying that because you enjoy eating."

"Well, it's a work in process, sire. I'm not trying to make you look bad in any way. I'll work on perfecting the speech."

"Good," he replied, tossing a round piece of food with a smiley face on it. "Have some Tubby Toast."

With Grubber turned towards the Tubby Toast, the rest of us waited for the next set of instructions.

"Um, Tempest Shadow," he said, looking towards me. "Your fighting abilities are impressive, but you don't fired unless your fired upon, got it?"

This to me was a shock, considering the fact that yes, they were firing upon me. However, his excellency saw it otherwise.

"What do you mean don't fire until fired upon? They were firing blasts of magic at me."

"Well, those blasts were nothing more than beams of light, harmless except to your eyes. But, the ponies of Equestria are nothing short of being defensive. They're magic is real and it's something that I want. But, you don't let it bring you down. The Teletubbies are not like the alicorns. They show fear and just run and hide, but the alicorns will not fight. They are the real deal and must not be taken lightly."

He then proceeded, to use whatever magic he had obtained to produce a screen that showed a picture of my former home, Canterlot.

"This is Canterlot," he continued, pointing his staff at the picture of Equestria's capitol. "Where the alicorns of Equestria live and play. Teletubby land was just an appetizer, this is the main course."

"What about dessert?" asked Grubber, still munching on the Tubby Toast.

"It'll be waiting for us, don't worry about that. For the rest of you, why don't you help yourself to what these guys have to offer?"

Sure enough, the rest of the Storm Creatures went about snatching all of the Teletubbies' personal properties including a large orange ball, a scooter, a black and white hat and a red handbag. Not that all of it was going to benefit us in the long run, of course.

"Sire, I still felt like I should have fired upon," I said in a confused tone. "Are you certain of what you said?"

"Tempest, I was only trying to prove a point," he answered, placing an arm around my neck. The Teletubbies were harmless, but its as I said, the alicorns are not. Let's take what we learn and take it to the next conquest, shall we?"

With those words said, we took what we could and left Teletubby land behind with our target now set on Canterlot. As for the Teletubbies? They'll be out of commission for a while.
