No One's P.O.V

The royals and main ponies outside of Springfields started to arrive at Abohaty's Kingdom. Luna offered to stay behind to watch over Canterlot while Celestia came over to help fight. The pony watching over the Crystal Empire at the moment was Cadence because of her love shield. To still help out, Cadence thought it was best that she sent over her husband with a group of guards and Twilight's ex-husband, Flash Sentry. And as for ponyville, Starlight Glimmer and Spike were left in charge of Twilight's castle while she was gone. In case of an emergency, Celestia sent guards over from Canterlot to help them watch over the place.

When both Twilight and Celestia arrived at the front doors together, the guards immediately allowed them in. Onyx followed behind them. Since the high commission was not available at the moment, he offered to help the princesses make their way around the castle.

"It's been quite a while since I've been here," Twilight told Celestia as she walked down the halls. Onyx tried his best to catch up with the mares. When he was able to get in front of them, he got to the ground and gave them both a welcoming greeting.

"Hello, your highnesses. My name is Onyx and I'm here to show you around to wherever you please to go."

"Wonderful to meet you Onyx," Celestia replied. "Please take us to where the high commission is now."

"Will do your highness."

When the three ponies arrived upstairs, they saw a group of other ponies sitting down with Bella and consoling her. When Twilight peeked inside the meeting room, she could see Written Script and Gabe sitting alone and she immediately knew something was up.

"Why don't you take the high commission outside and I'll talk to my daughter and her friends?" Twilight suggested to Celestia. "I'll be down with you guys shortly." Celestia nodded and walked back down to the entrance with Onyx who was not used to walking this slow. He didn't want to be rude and not match the princess' walking pace, so he forced himself to walk just as slow.

Twilight cleared her throat and everypony looked up. "I need the full high commission outside with Celestia and Onyx except for Flora who is obviously the only pony occupied."

"Mom! Than god, you came," Bookworm said, rising from the ground. "These ponies don't know how to run a kingdom!" Twilight said nothing and watched as the high commission quickly left. Bookworm knew that when she didn't respond to her, she was either serious, angry, or both. So she backed away.

With the high commission gone, it was just Written Script, Gabe, Bella, Kat, and Bookworm.

"Where are Celia and Kelsey?"

No pony answered. Twilight sighed and repeated her question, but louder.

"Where are Celia and Kelsey?"

"I think Celia went down to the emergency room..." Gabe responded from inside the meeting room.

"Why?" Twilight asked.

"Kelsey got hurt I think," Kat mentioned softly.

"Well can one of you get her?" The purple mare looked around at the zero volunteers and sighed once again. "Bookworm, please go find Celia and bring her up here. I need to talk to you all." Bookworm groaned but did what her mother said anyways. As her daughter did that, Twilight walked over to Bella and hugged her. Although she had no clue what happened, it seemed pretty devastating because Bella's eyes were puffy red and her friends seemed not to want to say much. That was until Kat whispered into her ear what had happened. Twilight nodded and closed her eyes, still hugging the unicorn with her wing. "Would you give us a second Kat? You can stay in the meeting room." Kat obeyed Twilight's orders and sat in the meeting room as far as possible from Gabe and Written Script. "Listen, I am deeply sorry for your loss. I know exactly how it feels to lose a loved one. Just know that I am here for you always and so are your friends if you need anything." Twilight released her from her wing grip and smiled warmly. "You don't have to stay here if you don't want to, I can always get you somepony to walk you back home. But it has to be a guard because I'm pretty sure there's about to be a battle very soon."

"Sure," she managed to say. Twilight teleported themselves to the entrance of the kingdom. She saw her brother across the hall and waved to him. Shining Armor rushed over and hugged his sister, but then frowned when he noticed the crying pony.

"Bella's grieving a loss right now and I need somepony to walk her back home since Amirah is presumed to be here at some point." Shining stood on Bella's side and smiled again.

"I can take care of that. You ready Bella?" Bella nodded and began walking side by side with Shining Armor. Twilight teleported herself back to where she was and saw her daughter coming down the hall by herself.

"Where is Celia?"

"I don't know. Kelsey said she wasn't there." Twilight sighed and opened the meeting room door.

"Just...just go inside and sit."

"Am I in trouble?"

"I said just go sit down."

Bookworm followed her orders and sat down next to Kat. Twilight was the last to walk into the room and she closed the door behind her. "I can't help but wonder how this happened. The six of you were all great friends in the start and now you guys are terrible to one another!"

"Mom, I think our drama can wait. Those ponies outside have no idea what they're doing and are set up for failure."

"No. I'm not going to sit here and watch this worthy friendship break into pieces over stupid things."

"It's not stupid though, I think me, Bookworm, and Bella can agree that some things that the other mares in our friend group do bother us a ton," Kat admitted.

"Well as friends, you guys have to talk through your problems and not argue with one another. It's only going to make the situation worse. And most of the time the actual problem was everypony misunderstanding something." Twilight looked over at Written Script whose head was still down. "You ponies are just stressing each other out at this point. Instead of making things work, let's actually have you guys be friends and compromise things. Please?" No pony said anything. There were only eyes darting around at every part of the room. "Whatever, I'm going to go check outside. I hope you ponies think about what I said." Twilight began walking to the door but fell right into the narrow table when a loud bang was made. Everypony else in the room either fell out of their seat or with their seat and onto the floor. Twilight quickly got up and dusted herself off, but was knocked down again when another loud bang was made and the whole castle shook. "Holy!" she shouted. Twilight got up again and spread her wings. "I'll be back, you ponies stay put." Twilight ran towards the window and flew out in a hurry.

"Wait, she's here? How?" Gabe asked, sitting up.

"She must've broken through Flora's vines..." Kat answered. "Aw that's unfortunate...she was working on those for quite a while..." Kat looked over at Bookworm who was trying to find her glasses. Written Script sat up as well and noticed Bookworm's glasses near her end, but they were broken.

"Uh...I think they broke," She said, holding them up.

Celia had searched the kingdom up and down but she just couldn't find Grammar. She didn't want to leave the kingdom because likely, she wouldn't be able to get back in unless she was some sort of royalty. Celia wanted to inform Kelsey of this because she started to get worried as to where he could be. As Celia was walking back, she was knocked over while the ground shook beneath her. The same thing happened for a second time and she ended up hitting her head harshly against a wall. She got up in agony and rubbed the side of her head. When she came to her senses, she saw that all the guards were rushing out. She wanted to follow to see what was all the commotion, but something else ended up catching the mare's attention. She noticed above her the ceiling was cracking and falling apart bit by bit.

Now, Celia was no expert, but after helping out on Applejack's farm, she knew what was extremely bad and what was not. Since the guards were running towards the commotion, she decided to tell somepony she knew who would not be running anywhere.

The nurse at the front desk.

Celia did understand that there was not much she could do, but telling the nurse would hopefully help Kelsey be able to evacuate in time. But when she rushed to tell the nurse, she didn't seem to worry too much.

"I know you are concerned, but I'm not allowed to just remove our patients from the room. I have to get orders from either the princess, guards, or high commission," she spoke.

"But, but the castle is going to collapse!! It's breaking apart!" Celia cried.

"Sweetheart, I'm sure it's not that bad! If it was so bad, one of the guards would've said something." She smiled brightly as if that was going to make Celia leave.

"The guards are obviously occupied right now, did you not hear or feel those last two bangs?"

"I apologize if you feel a certain way but do I look like a maintenance worker to you?" Celia was not about to pour out all of her frustrations on the nurse. She was right on that part, nurses help ponies, not buildings. But Celia wasn't asking for it to be fixed. At this point, it's too late for that.

Meanwhile outside, everypony was gathered up aside from the ponies inside the castle and inside their homes. The guards stood before everypony else to face who was coming. And as everypony predicted it was the Queen.
