Using magic, Spike has spun the Carousel Boutique up to something like 0.90-0.99c! Fully 10^16 g of centripetal force. His objective was to use time dilation, body frame dragging and delocalization to create multiple Rarity's. In point of fact, Rarity is delighted and thrilled, and is now dancing around, reveling in her brand new relativistic probability cloud.
Spikey Wikey, of course, is experiencing Nirvana, but Twilight Sparkle isn't so pleased, and I'm going to tell you why.
See, spinning the Carousel Boutique that fast, on the surface of Equus, in the middle of Ponyville, causes it to start generating something like:
10^24 joules OR 10^9 megatons of TNT.
Those energies effectively turn the Carousel Boutique into a mini-Quasar or Type II Supernova. The problem we're running into here is how dense the surrounding environment is. Neutron Stars and the Accretion Disks of Black Holes naturally occur in the near vacuum of space. When the Carousel Boutique starts to move like either of those in a dense atmosphere, all kinds of contingencies do start to emerge.
What do we have?
Well let's see; catastrophic atmospheric drag and thus heating, plasma toruses, gamma rays, fusion rings, air blasts, to name a few among many other complications.
Mayor Mare is not gonna be pleased, actually Princess Celestia and Princess Luna won't be either.
But Spike just wanted to harness the magic of Terrell Rotation, along with Relativistic Aberration, Doppler and Beaming effects.
It's all about his beloved Rarity, and frankly she finds it all quite fetching!

I have my responsibilities. Governing the March of Cloudsdale is no easy task, and I should be rudderless without all five of Them to instruct and advise me.
I imagine that Lyra Heartstrings and Bon Bon spend a great deal of time traveling together. They're always showing up there, in the background, no matter where in Equestria we go.

Arise, Daughter. Here is the painting that has been rattling around in my head for many months now, finally realized in matter, energy, time and space. I am entirely satisfied, she is everything I hoped she would be, and then some. What follows is my rather lengthy explanation of everything, and there's a lot, that went into this.
First of all, where are we? In what AU does this occur? Well, first of all, I want to say that Revenge Rarity has nothing to do with Lil Miss Rarity, at all. Very important point, Revenge Rarity is an entirely different, and far superior beast. There's no dungeon that can hold her, and I have proof.
To understand Revenge Rarity, you have to know that she hails from the AU of the Rarity Versus The Changelings mod, for GZDOOM. This masterpiece of a DOOM mod was originally created by bahatumay.
So, to experience what I experienced, go here:

You absolutely should play this mod. DOOM and mods for DOOM have been, and really still are, a big part of my life as a gamer. I've played a great many of them. Most are pretty traditional and lately, I'd been short on inspiration. But then, while working on my Pinkie Pie DOOMGUY Ship, I encountered this.
I know a good DOOM mod when I see one. Yes, Rarity Versus The Changelings Packaged Version is a mod of a mod. Yes, the texture count is rather low. Yes, the levels are a bit rudimentary and lumpy. Yes, some of the art work is corny, certain things look a lot better than others. I certainly wish this mod had been given a bit more polish and attention to detail.
But none of that really matters. The mod is fast-paced, refreshing, a totally unique adventure far outside of the norm, and most of all, it is challenging as all Hell. Like any real DOOM mod should be. You do not approach this mod with an arrogant or dismissive attitude, it will very quickly kick your ass if you do. The enemies are inventive, deadly, quick and unpredictable. The game keeps a tight choke hold on resources, you've got to play with discipline. That said, it is not unbalanced. The Hoofsaw is devastating, and far more practical than the chainsaw ever is in Vanilla DOOM. There's a lot of up close and personal combat here.
Rarity's magical attacks are staggeringly powerful, but she cannot take too much punishment. Armor is present but hard to maintain. You need to conserve your mana for certain situations. Health is very hard to come by. Again, the game will punish sloppy playing. Don't let the cartoonish aspect fool you.
In a nutshell, the story of this AU is that the Changelings have kidnapped the rest of the Mane 6 plus Sweetie Belle, but minus Rarity. The game describes this as Queen Chrysalis' greatest, most historic mistake. Rarity is mad, really really mad. She dives straight into the bowels of the Hive with a singleness of purpose, and a ferocity, that will slice wide open any and all Changelings that get in her way.
And you'd better not pull any punches, because the Changelings have plenty of nasty surprises in store. Whether it is an entire bestiary of Changeling subspecies, giant Lyra and Bon Bon clones or shape shifter Trixies and Pinkie Pies, you're going to have an uphill battle to fight.
Neither the Cyber Trixie, nor Queen Chrysalis are casual walks in the park as far as boss fights are concerned.
The Assimilated Changeling Pinkie Pie is simply the most terrifying boss fight I've ever had to overcome in any iteration of DOOM ever. And that is saying a great deal. Any of her five attacks are almost one shot knockdowns. The splash damage from even glancing blows will decimate you. Fighting Assimilated Changeling Pinkie Pie leaves you feeling spiritually rattled. A nightmare of a boss fight and the true climax of the experience.
But don't take my word for any of this. If you want a fast paced, four episode DOOM adventure that you'll never forget, play Rarity Versus The Changelings. The game benefits from plenty of text screens, unique intermission artwork, and even several animated cutscenes in-game, plus a crawler image at the end. It's much heavier on story than most DOOM mods are, and more ambitious in its presentation.
It has given us a Rarity who is the coldest, deadliest, hardest and most badass pony warrior ever to have trotted upon the soils of Equestria.
And this is the Rarity I have sought to capture in my painting.
I imagine that this portrait of Revenge Rarity was taken in the midst of her exploits during the game. Perhaps this image captures her between levels. In DOOM, the pause between one level and the next is always brief, but also always timeless.
She sits waiting, for however long, to return to the fray.
Nothing else matters, she wants her Sweetie Belle, and her friends back, and every Changeling between her and them is going to pay the ultimate price.
She regards us with a gaze that is not an indication that she is about to pounce on us. More, she challenges us to explain why are anything of consequence to her. Us humans, with our frailties, baggage, damage, resentments and grievances. In the face of her dilemma, and her task, how flippant and trivial we all seem. Is there anything we wanted to say? Or can we get back to the fight now?
All the hardness and violence of any Pony Creepypasta is here, with interest. But there is none of the hesitation, self hatred and psychological dissonance that we've come to expect from Creepypasta Ponies. Rarity's focus, singlness of purpose and willingness to fight are a molecular blade that will slice wide open anything that gets in range.
DOOMGUY and Pinkie Pie, as we've come to know them in my recent fan fic are merely a pair of love birds by comparison, and they should go get a room.
Right and wrong, good and evil, honor or war crimes, all of these considerations are irrelevant to Revenge Rarity, she wants her family and friends back. And yes, I can report that eventually Revenge Rarity achieves her goal quite successfully, rescuing both the Mane 6 and Sweetie Belle, while also finally serving Queen Chrysalis the punishment she always deserved but never really suffered.
Of course, the game ends with a twist that is entirely appropriate for the story it has told, and for a DOOM mod in general.
Play the mod.
After I did, there was no question of not making this painting.

Come friends, and behold the amazing magic of the great and powerful Trixie.
Trixie's intentions were never in the wrong place, deep down.
If she had fallen into the trap of becoming a charlatan, it was because at first she lacked the confidence to believe that she could ever truly embody the magic that had so profoundly inspired her.
Her self-doubt was erroneous, and after several trips to Ponyville, after a few run-ins with Twilight Sparkle, and another pony named Starlight Glimmer, everything changed for the better in Trixie's life.
She was always a unicorn, she was always gifted with magic, and she always had the desire to share the wonderment with ponies everywhere.
She can be ethically ambiguous, sometimes tone deaf to the feelings of other ponies around her, and perhaps she does not learn from the past quickly, or consider the future carefully enough.
Had we bonked her on the head with the scepter of righteousness, had we punished her for the problems she did cause in an unimaginative fashion, and had we banned her from ever returning, all would have been lost.
Would Starlight Glimmer, Thorax and Discord still have been able to triumph over Queen Chrysalis without Trixie's help?
I've learned that whenever a wagon like Trixie's rolls into town, I must follow the flyer, show up at the gathering, peruse the vendors, and watch the show.
Without the magic of the great and powerful Trixie Lulamoon, Equestria would have been impoverished.
As Marquess, I have made special arrangements so that Trixie Lulamoon can come to Cloudsdale and perform here, any time she wishes to do so.
So ordered.

Here are Equestria's worst enemies, each one of them an unrepentant nemesis of everything Equestria stands for.
During his appearance in Season 9 of Friendship Is Magic, Grogar was a mere phantasm, Discord in disguise.
However, there had been a real Grogar.
And it was only when the Legion of Doom learned to work together as a team, that they entertained the idea of challenging him.
Tirek had been an enemy of ponies since the beginning of the franchise.
There are possibly a great many honest fans of Friendship Is Magic, who've never heard of Tirac, and how he was defeated by the great warrior princess Me'Ghan.
Tirek could hatch plots, and even added a touch of finesse to his malevolence.
But Tirek could never behold the object of his desire and maintain his self-control.
For all his guile, Tirek was always recklessly impulsive in the end.
King Sombra must have begun life not unlike Starlight Glimmer, or Twilight Sparkle for that matter.
He was one of those exceptionally talented and powerful unicorns, who can practice magic like the rest of us can breathe.
Unfortunately, King Sombra was also hopelessly vain, and he was driven by an unrelenting compulsion to subjugate everything that he surveyed.
King Sombra never fully understood that there were powers greater than his own in the world, until he was vaporized for the final time.
Queen Chrysalis demonstrated again and again that she was consistently self-defeating and perennially unredeemable.
Humorless, and frequently just as miserable as she made every pony else, Queen Chrysalis was every bit as cynical and perfidious as any film noir anti-hero I've ever seen.
She seems to have been driven by some instinctual hunger or aggression.
And Queen Chrysalis never seemed to gain either any control over, or insight into these destructive, predatory urges.
The Magic of Friendship and the Elements of Harmony proved to be both more compassionate, and more powerful than any of these deeply flawed, entirely culpable and profoundly tragic fools.
One after another, these villains pitted their worst against the best of Mane 6, and each in their turn, they all lost.
And then, when the time came for Equestria to be tested as it never had been before, Cozy Glow appeared.
It was in Cozy Glow that the Mane 6, The Canterlot regime, the Elements of Harmony, and indeed all of Equestria almost met their match.
She appeared when she chose to do so, perhaps the striking blue curls were a bit more extravagant than was common, but Cozy Glow did not look like a Queen Chrysalis or a Tirek, and so almost every pony judged her not to be a monster.
The CMC probably never realized that Cozy Glow had staged their first meeting, according to a formula which she was already quite practiced at.
No pony ever asked Cozy Glow who her parents were, and where they lived.
I ask, and feel my sense of dis-ease give way to dread.
Indeed it is almost unforgivable, the potentially lethal gamble Discord took with Cozy Glow.
He might as well have been playing with an asteroid impact or a killer virus.
No other threat in the entire series could ever have more thoroughly destroyed Equestria.
Cozy Glow did not want to ruin, enslave, or consume Equestria, she wanted to pervert it for nothing more than her own gratification.
I can imagine nothing more profane than that.
