[It starts with an explosion. Like you do with these kind of super-important moments.

However, this time, it was a magical explosion, from the tallest spire of the Canterlot Castle. A bright, bright blue light, before the area where Celestia's room was exploded, the roof popping open like a bloomin' onion. And, from the new open top created, a large, gold-rimmed mirror, which pulsed a bright, bright blue rose, before at last, bursting into a hue of colors.

Even from far away, the magic from this mirror can be felt. It's powerful and ancient - and something is coming out of it. And not just physically, though that is important. The music begins to play, as suddenly, a giant zeppelin begins to push out of the large wall mirror and the magic it's emitting. And with it....on top of it, cackling madly, is...

Was Celestia. But not anymore, as she readies a giant bullhorn to augment her already powerful royal voice. Her voice can be heard throughout Ponyville, Canterlot, and quite far beyond even that, as a result. And at least one pony is shakily recording it on their scroll for posterity - the Royal Canterlot librarian, of all ponies. So, talk about reverb.]

BELOVED SUBJECTS!!

AFTER ONE THOUSAND YEARS, AT LONG LAST, WE, YOUR BELOVED RULER, HATH RETURNED!! NO MORE SHALL YE BE TORMENTED BY THE HORRIBLE, DISGUSTING NIGHT! YOUR PRINCESS--NAY, YOUR QUEEN--HATH RETURNED AND SHALL CAUSE THE BASKING, WARM GLOW OF THE SUN TO FOREVER BATHE OUR LAND IN ETERNAL LIGHT!

NOW, BECAUSE OF THIS, OUR BELOVED THRALLS, THERE SHALL BE SOME CHANGES IN ORDER TO UNDO THE DAMAGE OUR FOALISH BABY SISTER DARED TO IMPLEMENT! FIRST, AND FOREMOST, ALL SHALL COME TO US AND BOW TO US, RIGHT THIS VERY MOMENT--

Hey. Tasty Cat! Genius!

[Suddenly, a second voice chimes in, sounding rather grumpy. Aerial surveillance will reve--oh. A human. And what a lovely dress she has under that leather jacket - or at least it would be if it wasn't scuffed up and ripped.

In any case, Celestia? starts talking to the human, even though the bullhorn is still on. She sounds unbelievably mad at the interruption.]

FOOLISH HUMAN!! WHAT DO YOU WANT!? AND OUR NAME IS TEZCATLIPOCA!! DO WE LOOK LIKE OUR PET FAMILIAR!?

Whatever. You do know the sun's already out, right?

[There is a silence at this.]

...SILENCE! OF COURSE WE KNOW IT IS OUT! IT IS BECAUSE OUT GLORIOUS SELF IS SO POWERFUL AND BEAUTIFUL, THE SUN OBEYED US IMMEDIATELY! UNLIKE YOU!

Yeah, I'm sure that's how it happened and it wasn't you know. Already up.

[At this, Tezcatlipoca's tone became even angrier.]

YOU IMPUDENT MONKEY! YOU SHOULD FEEL BLESSED THAT, ALONE OF YOUR RACE, YOU ARE NOT TO BE CONVERTED INTO A LOWLY PUTTY PONY, BUT SHALL INSTEAD, BE LOCKED INTO THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GOLDEN CAGE TO BE FOUND IN OUR TWO DIMENSIONS, AND HUNG FROM THE HIGHEST SPIRE, SO THAT OUR PONY SUBJECTS MAY GAWK AND STARE AT YOUR WRETCHED FORM AND WONDER HOW SUCH A RIDICULOUS RACE COULD HAVE POSSIBLY EXISTED! AND ALSO, SO THAT WE MAY CHARGE THEM FOR IT, SO THAT WE CAN REBUILD THE WORLDS TO OUR LIKING!!

[And in response, Sunset Shimmer's voice became angry.]

Oh yeeeah I feel super duper honored! All you did was, oh, ruin my prom, banish classmates and a professor of mine to a black hole, start brainwashing the rest of humanity...and OH YEAH-

[WHIP CRACK FINGER! Towards a groaning, drooling guy in a tux oh wait]

YOU SUCKED OUT MY BOYFRIEND'S SOUL AND BURNED IT IN THE CORE OF THE SUN AND NOW HE HAS AN ETERNAL CRAVING FOR YOGURT! HE'S LACTOSE-INTOLERANT, YOU MONSTER!

[At this, Flash finally speaks, sounding dazed as he wipes the drool off his face.]

...Uuuh...no, really, don't worry babe, I'll be fine, I'm just kind of hungry. I mean...it's what they make Somnio-Almond products for, right? I'm sure eating that technically counts for...whatever...soulless curse I now apparently have...

[A whimper from Sunset Shimmer.]

B-but that's besides the pooooint! You're still gonna be a zombiiiiie!

...OH, RIGHT, WE, UH. WE THOUGHT WE DISPOSED OF HIM, TOO. DARK QUETZAL! YOU'LL, UH, TAKE CARE OF THE BOY MONKEY ONCE WE HAVE OUR SISTER ON HER KNEES BEGGING FOR MERCY, RIGHT?

[At this, what sounds like a twisted, inverted screech from Philomena echoes through the air.]

NOW GO! FAITHFUL ARMY! IF THE PONIES SHALL NOT BOW BEFORE US...WE WILL MAKE THEM COWER! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!

((OOC: YUP. That just happened. "Tasty Cat" and her, um, human entourage will not be responding to this for...obvious reasons, but everyone else, feel free to react, plan, talk amongst yourselves, etc.!))

*There is what appears to be a masked alicorn watching with amusement. Or maybe it's just the mask.*

Oh my. You people certainly know how to make a virus feel at home, don't you? There's so much chaos here already, I don't even need to raise a hoof!

[toosmarttodie]

...all that happened was a big horse-thing turned up the lights and made a couple horses human.

Hardly chaotic--well rehearsed, maybe.

[handsoffmysprite]

Oh, but look at how worked up everypony's getting already~

[toosmarttodie]

So your definition of chaos is "people upset"?

--also stop the everypony thing, it's very ponycentric.

[handsoffmysprite]

Oh no, dear. It's just so wonderfully unpredictable when you get so many different people trying to do things all at once~

[toosmarttodie]

Ohhhh I see, but that's it? I mean, chaos theory doesn't interest you at all? Fractals and such?
