Why is it that Celestia is the only one who’s ever shown as beaten up? And I bet a lot of bronies cheered when they thought she was dead. :(

“Well done, Twilight… You’ve done what the storm could not–destroyed the Celestial 33rd…
 
Do you feel like a hero yet???
 
Please, come in…
 
Now that you’re here, I’d like to ask you a question. What did you think when you arrived in Saddle Arabia; when you’d seen what I had done? Did you think it the work of a… madmare???”
 
“Yeah… I thought you’d lost your Faust-damned mind… Or I hoped that’s what happened…”
 
“Oh, yes… That would have made things easier, but I wasn’t that lucky…”
 
“You sure about that?”
 
“I assure you, I’m as sane as you are, Twilight…
 
No matter how hard I tried, I never could escape the reality of what happened here… That was my downfall…
 
There! Finished! Hope you like it…”
 
“What the hay is going on???”
 
“Your eyes are opening for the first time. It hurts, doesn’t it?
 
Go on… What do you think?”
 
“You did this.”
 
“No. You did. Your orders killed 47 innocent ponies. Somepony has to pay for your crimes, Twilight. Who’s it gonna be???”
 
“…Celestia??? Is that you???”
 
“You tell me…”
 
“I’m done playing games, Celestia!”
 
“I assure you, this is no game…
 
this picture
 
It seems that reports of my… survival… have been greatly exaggerated.”
 
“This isn’t possible…”
 
“Oh, I assure you, it is.”
 
“How???”
 
“Not how. Why. You were never meant to come here.”
 
“We have our orders. Leave the city, radio Canterlot HQ from outside the stormwall. They send in the cavalry, we go home.”
 
“What happened here was out of my control…”
 
“Was it??? None of this would have happened if you’d just stopped! Yet on you marched, and for what???”
 
“We… tried to save you…”
 
“You’re no savior… Your talents lie elsewhere.”
 
“This is your fault, Faust damn it!!!”  
“Stop right there, Dash!”  
“She didn’t listen!!!”  
“We didn’t have a choice!!!”  
“SHE TURNED US INTO BUCKING KILLERS!!!”

 
“This isn’t my fault…”
 
“It takes a strong mare to deny what’s right in front of her, and when the truth is undeniable, you create your own.”
 
“What the hay happened???”  
“I don’t know! She just stopped moving!”  
“Twilight! Snap out of it!!!”  
“I get it… We have to choose…”

 
“The truth, Twilight, is that you came here because you wanted to feel like something you’re not-a hero.”
 
“Dash!!!”  
“You left me to die!!!”

 
“I’m here because you can’t accept what you’ve done. It broke you…”
 
“Princess??? Princess, please!”  
“What’s goin’ on, Twilight?”  
“It’s Celestia… She did it… All of it…”

 
“You needed somepony to blame, so you cast it on me… a DEAD mare…
 
I know the truth is hard to hear, Twilight, but it’s time… You’re all that’s left… and we can’t live this lie forever…
 
I’m going to count to five, then I’m pulling the trigger.”
 
“You’re not real… This is all in my head…”
 
“Are you sure??? Maybe it’s in mine! ONE!!!”
 
“No… Everything… All this… It was YOUR fault!!!”
 
“If that’s what you believe then shoot me! TWO!!!”
 
“I… I didn’t mean to hurt anypony…”
 
“Nopony ever does, Twilight! THREE!!!
 
FOUR…
 
Is this really what you want, Twilight???
 
So be it… FIVE-
!!!
 
BANG
 
It takes a strong mare… to deny what’s in front of her…”
 
“Stronger than you were…”
 
“Whatever you say, Twilight… No matter what happens next… don’t be too hard on yourself… Even now… after all you’ve done… you can still go home… Lucky you…”
