The first step is ensuring that everypony gets the point.
The first “step”
—————–
Somewhere around the center of Ponyville a crowd forms with Trixie being it’s central point.
“I, the Greatest and most Powerful Trixie, am now ruling over Ponyville!”
She starts using her magic on herself, making it grow her slowly.
“Everypony is now doing whatever I tell you to!”
A red aura appears around one of the mares in the crowd. The magic begins to slowly pull her towards their new leader. She tries to fight against it, but to no avail, only leaving skidmarks of her hooves on the ground.
“No exceptions,…”
After having successfully pulled the pony towards herself she lifts her hoof over it.
”…otherwise…”
SQUELCH!
The crowd gasps in unison. Where there was a pony once, there is now Trixies hoof. The only evidence of it standing here before is it’s tail poking out from below.
”…MWAHAHAHAHA…”
She laughs manically while she is grinding the poor pony out like a bug.
After her laughing fit she lifts her hoof again. The smushed mare not sure whether to stick to the ground or the sole of the hoof starts to stretch out like gum for a bit until finally slapping onto Trixie’s hoof.
”…you end up like her. A pathetic pancake pony!”
The poor mare, now reduced to a squashed and spread version of her former self, stuck on the Great and Powerful Trixie’s glorious hoof like filthy gum, is more than humilated as her stomped body is showed off. Shocked, the crowd just stares at her.
A few moments later Trixie peels her off like a sticker and flings her away.
“Anyway. Don’t even try to oppose me! You cannot run, and you cannot hide either!”
“EVERYPONY PANIC!”, comes from an unknown source withing the crowd.
The crowd, now startled, panics, of course. Screaming ponies everywhere! Many try to hide inside buildings, only to get dragged out via Trixie’s magic again.
“Looks like today is pony stomping day!
“It’ll be fun!”
