[No warning when it came on. Its on the ground, by Celestia's hooves.

However, what transpires next, everypony will be able to see.

Get ready, Equestrians.]

[All thoughts of what "should have been" or "could have been" vanished from Twilight's mind as soon as she saw what was. Celestia and Luna - her friends - were in serious danger and she could do nothing.]

...No...

(not recorded) - action possible for Maylight, Dame Rarity, Satellite Pinkie

[marearcana]

[Once the tables turn, though...]

...way this all worked as well as they were all expecting.

[magicalrealist]

That's what concerns me. It's working too well.

(Yeah, it's clear someone hasn't been too happy with this entire arrangement. She shakes her head.)

I've been sitting here long enough; I need to be out there.

[sailorlaughter]

Great! Let's go!

[Pinkie hops up onto Twilight's back. Both of them. Like they're her skis.]

TO PONYVILLE!!!!!!!!!!

[marearcana]

Wait, let's think about this.

Aside from Dame Rarity and I, she - and who I mean by that should be obvious - has a special interest in all of us. Half the reason I got myself captured was to make sure Equestria still had Princesses left in case this part went belly-up.

I don't think I'll be joining you, but I won't stop you.

[magicalrealist]

Her interest won't change if I stay here or if I'm out there. As far as I'm concerned, she's watching every little thing I do.

(Something about Princess Twilight's answer upsets the unicorn further, but she shakes her head. It's just the tension of everything going on right now. She's right...but Twilight also can't agree with her.)

I might as well be fighting alongside my friends;. My life won't be in any less danger here.

[sailorlaughter]

[Pinkie takes her hooves off of Princess Twilight, making it more of a uniTwi-skateboard deal.]

Okie-dokie, then! See you!

[marearcana]

Yeah.

[They'll take care of themselves. She trusts them all to.]

I'll at least go check on them, though. Serious or no, fighting him must hurt.

When Zetta is attacked

[queenbees]

ZETTA!!

[marearcana]

...well, that doesn't look good either. What even was that?

[Can't he gloat after he's sure his opponent is fully incapacitated?]
