19th E-Book: Truth Removes the Chains and Slaps on the Cuffs [Visual]

[magicalrealist]

I was in on Zetta's plan the whole time. I let myself be captured to play the role needed of me...and while I'm not proud of it, I still lied to all of you. I made you worry and I deceived you. I couldn't tell anyone, but that doesn't excuse what I did.

My word might not mean much, if anything, anymore, but...I'm sorry.

I'm not angry Twilight.

Just kind of disappointed.

[humanesqueheartstrings]

You know what? Buck it, I can't bring myself to get angry anymore.

You and the other Twiley, my house, ten minutes. Lemonade and haycookies. And we'll talk like reasonable mares on how dumb plans are.

[noxequus]

Oh, splendid. We were actually worried that you had gotten soft and pathetic in your time with Pollo.

You could have defeated Zetta easily alone, much less with Rarity at your side.

[ceasetoexist]

Dunno what you're apologizing for, seemed hysterical how much you scared the crap out of a bunch I the other horses here.

Kinda sad I missed mos of it, I gotta admit.

[magicalrealist]

So am I.

[magicalrealist]

Are you sure that's okay? You still need to rest, don't you?

[humanesqueheartstrings]

I can talk, drink lemonade and eat cookies till I get sick in bed. Bonnie'll just yell at me later for getting crumbs in the bed.

[magicalrealist]

I'm...not so sure about that. He's still much stronger than I am...

[noxequus]

You restrain yourself.

Were you to fight for the sake of your friends, you would do no such thing.

[magicalrealist]

Well I'm glad someone would've enjoyed it.

(All the sarcasm.)

It's good to see you again, Pokey. Sorry I missed your return earlier.

[magicalrealist]

That's another thing. I still need to apologize to Bon Bon for lying to her, too.

(She probably won't even let her into the store until that happens.)

[magicalrealist]

I don't think he'd restrain himself, either. He knows what I can do and wouldn't hold back.

Let me guess. Princess Celestia forced you into the plan too, right?

I'm not angry at you at all. I'm more upset that Princess Celestia doesn't seem to trust any of us or Princess Twilight. I'm not even sure she trusts anyone other than her sister that's native to here.

[humanesqueheartstrings]

Yeah you probably should. It's pretty bad all around. These lies are getting thick in the air. It's making me sick to think that our morale is so low that everypony is lashing out now.

Although the background of the scroll shows Mako's house, the one on the scroll is not Mako.

It's Kamen Rider.

Yes. The meerkat.

"A little tip, grasshopper: any plan that involves you being captured? 'Sa bad plan."

[noxequus]

We stand by what we said. Even if you lost, he would be in no shape to gloat of his victory afterward.

[Private]

[magicalrealist]

...Actually, it was Zetta.

[ponymechanic]

Zetta forced you into the plan?

[magicalrealist]

I can't blame you, really.

So much for September bettering things.

Now that we're all done diving into the sun, I accept your apology.

But do tell me, when will CELESTIA deign to let us mere mortals know what's going on? I'm not angry at you, or even at Zetta. But the Bright Sun should know better.

[like_a_dragon]

Wow, and another person in charge reveals that they were lying.

I'm getting really sick and tired of this.

[humanesqueheartstrings]

Bring Flash's guitar with you too. I'll play something for you if you don't mind?

[ponycure_dream]

[A sigh]

Really?

[magicalrealist]

Tell me about it.

[magicalrealist]

I wish I knew. You'd have to ask her about that.
