Twilight had returned her attention to the scene after hearing Luna’s voice.  She and most of the guards stood back, jaws agape.  Luna telekinetically lifted the alien off the ground and trotted back into the castle with the beast in tow as if he were nothing more than a puppy that had escaped its master’s supervision.  The guards looked at each other with a  “what the hay just happened” expression on their faces.  About half scurried after Princess Luna while the other half looked to Celestia for guidance.  She quickly composed herself and ordered most of them back to their posts.  She knew she would eventually have to explain what exactly they had cornered, but that could wait for a little bit longer.  This was only the beginning of a political nightmare, the likes of which Equestria had never seen.  Now that the excitement had died down a bit she could only dread what she saw in her future.
