"No. It doesn't. It makes sense now... Everypony, sit down and I'll tell you a little story." Celestia said.
---
"Yeah. We heard." Glacis said.

"No. It doesn't. It makes sense now... Everypony, sit down and I'll tell you a little story." Celestia said.
---
"Yeah. We heard." Glacis said.

"We are sitting down." Twilight pointed out. Then she realized something. "Err, Princess? I don't want to alarm you or anything, but the pink color is missing from your mane."
---
"The war is lost, then." Tank said.

"It is?" Celestia said, seemingly rather surprised.
---
"Not when the 5th Armoured has anything to say about it." Glacis said.

"And I think I know why..." Twilight said. "Nevermind, your story, Princess?"
---
"Oh well." Snipin' said. "Hydra plus Time?"

"No, no, tell me why my mane is losing its colours. Am I becoming old?" Celestia asked.
---
"We won't go down without a bloody fight." Glacis said.

"Your mane represents the elements of harmony you beared. And by how you've been acting lately, Princess, sorry, kindness vanished." Twilight said. "Sorry."
---
"The bloody is also surely going to be ours..." Tank mumbled.

''Ha. As I guessed. I don't care.'' Celestia said. ''I haven't been kind to any of you since I don't think you're worthy of kindness anymore. There's nothing redeemable about ponykind anymore. To be quite honest, I'd much rather let Nightmare Time slaughter you all, but I guess I have a duty to protect you.'' Celestia said.
---
''The 5th Armoured never gives up, Tank. Who dares, wins.'' Glacis said.
''I... I agree with the commander. We shouldn't give up. Never.'' Antenna said.

"Was it something I did, Princess?" Twilight asked, wide-eyed.
"Honestly? We don't need you." AJ said.
---
"Meh, Agreed." Tank said in a low voice.

''No. You've actually been faithful and loyal to me during all this, Twilight. Unlike some other ponies. Such as my sister. And you do need me, Applejack. You need me, and you don't even know why.'' Celestia said.
---
''But for now, we're stuck.'' Glacis said. ''Luckily, the Centurion is pretty roomy... But we're going to be pretty sore as soon as we get out of here.''
Everything is possible in the game of life.

Twilight sighed with relief. "Actually, how ye humiliated us outside, we'd rather die." AJ said.
"Applejack! Don't forget you are talking to Princess Celestia!" Twilight said, frowning.
"Ah'm honest, Twi'." AJ said.
---
"Right." Tank said.

''Humiliated you?! More like humiliated me! None of you have been listening to me! I've been doing my best to guide ponykind through this conflict more or less unscathed, but how could I even hope to achieve that when my commanders do not obey my orders? You should know about military hierarchy, Applejack! We're not a normal monarchy right now! We're a militarized state! I'm all for democracy, but right now, you have no say in state matters, bearers of the elements or no!'' Celestia said.
---
''This is going to be hell on earth.'' Antenna said.
Everything is possible in the game of life.

"But I can object in state matters!" Discord's voice echoed. After that, a illusion of him appeared in the room.
---
"Yup." Snipin' said.

''No. You cannot, Discord. You're not part of the Equestrian royalty anymore.'' Celestia said. ''You've been pushing your own agenda through all your actions. Luna's annoying tendency to disobey my orders, I could handle. But you... No. You're not part of the Equestrian Army. You have zero say in military and state matters.'' Celestia said. ''Now are we all going to SHUT UP AND LISTEN TO HOW WE CAN REVIVE THE PRINCESS OF THE FUCKING NIGHT OR NOT!?'' She suddenly yelled.
---
I wonder how my sister is doing.'' Glacis muttered.
''You have a sister?'' Antenna said, somewhat surprised.
Everything is possible in the game of life.

"NO!" Discord yelled. "You were foolish, Celestia. Take all the history books for truth that you never took up my position. As of now and as of forever, I'm the king of Equestria! And who says he can't object."
"He... Is right, sadly." Twilight said. The guards nodded.
"See? We don't need ya." AJ said.
"I didn't say that, Applejack." Discord said.
---
"Oh, yeah, that. My mission was to rescue her from HYDRA prison." Snipin' said.

''FINE! Then I hope Nightmare Time slowly and painfully kills you, just like how she killed Luna!'' Celestia said as all the colours in her mane faded to gray. ''I'm going to take on Nightmare Time now, and I hope she kills me! I'll never have to deal with the likes of you again!'' She said, heading back outside.
---
''She's in prison?'' Glacis asked.
