The final blow delivered by Princess Luna. >A night that lasted two days. >A massive clash in Canterlot. >Luna had reverted back to her true, aggressive state. >Panic swept the nation. >Nightmare Moon had been taken down by the elements of harmony (all 12? 18 of them?) but the damage had been done. >Several towns had fully set up local governance. The Trust and Safety party had taken a commanding lead during the night and filled in the gaps when local authorities had failed. >Fillydelphia government had been stormed in the night by a mix of the Republican League and some more radical members of Trust and Safety party. >It was time to act. >The leadership weren't fools.

It had to be a quick paralyzing strike. >As had been proven the Storm King, with Changelings (twice) and Tirek. >Strike fast and most of the nation would fall in line, hopefully bloodlessly. >And that had been with evil villeins, with fellow ponies trying to assert freedom and peace, once control had been secured, victory would be delivered. >It was a small team of ponies who had been assembled for the task months in advance.
