Talk:To Where and Back Again - Part 1/@comment-7345250-20161006200208

There's but one thing I'm discontent with: that Starlight Glimmer finds herself with no one to turn to but Trixie, Thorax, and Discord. There are certainly enough changelings to take out the princesses and the Mane Six, but there's no way they could replace all of Equestria and maintain a stronghold at their own kingdom and do so without any signs of a struggle. Surely, there must be enough ponies left out there to raise a small army, even on such short notice...

Then again, Discord may have just jumped the gun with that teleport. I'll accept that.

However, in light of these things, I start to wonder whether the changeling queen's endgame is not quite the immediate conquest of all Equestria. Could there be an even greater invasion on the way, or does Chrysalis need those ponies for something else, a la Secretariat Comet?
