[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.!))

All who are willing, mobilize for war.

[noxequus]

THIS VILE IMPOSTOR THAT STANDS BEFORE US IS NOT THE CELESTIA YOU ALL ONCE KNEW. EVEN IF SHE WERE, SHE HAS STRAYED FROM THE PATH OF PEACE AND TOGETHERNESS.

I SPEAK TO YOU NOT AS A PRINCESS, BUT AS A PONY BROUGHT TO YOU FROM ANOTHER WORLD. IS IT NOT OUR TASK, NEIGH, OUR VERY DUTY TO PROTECT THOSE WHO HAVE TAKEN US INTO THEIR HOMES OUT OF THE GOODNESS OF THEIR HEARTS? AND PROTECT THEM WE SHALL.

READY YOURSELVES, NOT IN THE NAME OF EQUESTRIA, BUT AGAINST TYRANNY.

[foolish_seal]

You say that as if it's not completely obvious.

I'm in.

[foalarcana]

I've put out the word to assemble at the Investigation Agency.

[Yeesh, he thought Yukiko's shadow was scary when she was angry.]

[ponymechanic]

[He made sure to move away from the scroll so his ears don't hurt worse, but he does move back once Luna was done.]

I'm in. Especially if this gets us closer to getting home.

[Visual to all]

[strawberryredgrave]

Just let me know where I'm needed.

Re: [Visual to all] And I'm done. :V

[polyturtle]

I guess we have no choice...

[mercuryangel]

I may not join in the fight itself but I can take anyone that needs transportation to Canterlot with me.

[She's not sure how draining that's going to be on her Psynergy.]

[Visual to all]

[they_call_me_sonic]

Count me in... once my ears stop ringing.

[callmeyork]

[Thank you for being loud, Luna.]

Only after some proper medical care. [cough, cough]

[Visual to all]

[angry_jerk]

MY GOD, I SUDDENLY LOVE WORKING FOR YOU!

[sailorlaughter]

I've already written THREE battle polkas!

[superstylishsquid]

Do I even have to say it? I got sick of self-important tyrants two-thousand years ago.

[magicalrealist]

We have many ready to fight and Yu's gathering them in his Investigation Agency. We won't need to do much debriefing, but we'll have to organize them into teams. A combat team, a medical team, a protection team, a scouting team...we'll have our forces ready before they launch their first attack.

I'll assist you however I can, Luna.

[Visual to all]

[theytookmypants]

Heheheh l-like you need to ask?

[He's still getting over the fit of laughter he had over their entrance, don't mind the slight chuckling here and there.]

You just rest M'lady, we got this one.

[Visual]

[bluesuit_hoofy]

We don't even know what she is yet. I can find out, but I need a way to get up onto that zeppelin.

[misplacedxsheath]

This situation almost seems familiar. I'm more than willing to lend my blade and my experience with military actions to putting a stop to this before it has a chance to escalate.

[text][Venus filter]

[crescentbeams]

I am ready, princess.

[weaponizedgems]

Just tell me when and where you wish to gather and I shall be there Princess.
