"It's simple," Sunset replied, a nasty smirk on her face. "Each and every one of you here has a version of you in that other world I came from. Your counterpart was its ruler! And I was her prized student! But then she forced me out… just like she did her own sister. Oh, sure there was the little matter of dear Luna falling under some terrible curse that made her into a monster… but when I got too close to becoming an alicorn like them, she decided I wasn't worthy! She, who already had three Elements and dared take the powers of the rest from her only family and use them to imprison her!" She curled her lip. "But they got the last laugh… the Elements themselves decided she wasn't worthy after she turned them against the only other pony who could use their power, and went away for a millennium. Then they found new Bearers… and if not for her ego, I would have been one of those Bearers!"
