The Red Mare reached the castle in little time, nodding politely at the guards as she made her way to the Royal Hall, to visit Celestia and see if anything was new that she needed to know about.

You find Celestia looking deeply troubled. "Mana, I am glad you have returned, we have urgent business to discuss." She says.

"Greetings, Celestia", Mana said, bowing as etiquette required. "...Already something big going on? I swear, sometimes, I feel like I really do draw catastrophes in my wake", she said with a discrete sigh. "How can I lend a hoof?"

"Mana. I need you to listen to me... Tirek has escaped."

Mana had the expression of someone who had just swallowed a large rock or something. Definitely not a pretty sight.
"...Celestia, I really do hope you have some good news to go along with that, like 'he's stuck in the body of a 2 months old filly' and 'he's lost all of his magical powers' or something, otherwise this day is going straight on my black list", she said, visibly downhearted.

"He's weakend now... But he's going to start draining the magic from every pony in Equstria... Do not despair though... I have a plan to defeat him, and aid another Princess in discovering what role she will play in Equstria."
She then lays out the plan.
1: Send Discord to stop him... Knowing Tirek will likely manipulate him into joining forces.
2: Celestia, Luna, and Cadence will transfer their magic into Twilight.
3: Tirek will betray Discord after taking Twilight's friends hostage, but not before giving Discord a trinket to symbolize the alliance before betraying him.
4: Tirek will use the hostages to gain Twilight's magic, but Twilight will likely work to save Discord as well. Making him give her the Trinket as a result of her teaching him true friendship.
5: This will provide the final key to that magic box that will contain the power to defeat Tirek.
You notice among other things wrong with this plan... You are not mentioned... At all.

"Um... Celestia?", the red Alicorn said, blinking. "Please tell me that now that I pointed it out, you realize that this plan is complete nonsense and that it has basically no chance to work at all, depends on way too numerous 'if's and 'hopefully's, and has MANY possibilities to go horribly wrong, right?", she pointed out unceremoniously.

"Really, and how else do you propose we defeat Tirek, AND have Twilight find her purpose at the same time?" Celestia asked.

"Why, in the name of all ponies, should this plan have anything to do with having Twilight find a purpose in the first place?" Mana asked, sighing. "...She's the Princess of Friendship and Magic, right? ...It's obvious. Strongest potential at magic in all of Equestria and she saved the world like, what, five times? ...With the power of Friendship, and of her actual friends. If she doesn't know that by now, MAYBE we should just, like, tell her?"
She looked back at Celestia.
"Besides, this is kind of an emergency. Teaching lessons can wait until all of Equestria isn't threatened by a crazed madpony, don't you think? ...And you just said yourself that he's weakened! That means he can't drain the power from us Alicorns yet, right? ...Only more reason to stop him right now and right there, don't you agree? ...That plan of yours depends entirely on Tirek and Discord, two of the biggest random numbers if there ever were any, doing what you want them to do, not mentioning the other dozen things that could go wrong, and I'm not even mentioned anywhere in this. It's like being faced with an earthquake, then throwing a coin in the air and say 'there's a 1/10,000,000th chance that this coin will actually do something to stop the earthquake and save the city. Let's try something practical with chances of success, shall we?"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6 stones into Social Skills (Pony Princess) to try and convince Celestia that her plan is basically doomed to fail, that there's no need to teach Twilight something that she would realize anyway if she took a few minutes to figure it out, and that the best course of actions is probably simply to take Tirek down while he's, y'know, weak! XD

"I understand your concerns. So I will take the nessessary actions and- Her horn then flashes and...
You come to getting off a ship in New York city with no idea how you got there, or how much time had passed.

Crimson Mana blinked, looked left, then right, then facehoofing. "Aww, come ON! Can't we have a disagreement without it ending up with one of us being teleported through space and time?"
She sighed. Maybe Celestia had actually sent her there for a good reason... She looked around, hoping to find it ASAP. Otherwise, the flight back would be long and boring.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5 stones into Intelligence to look around the ship for a clue as to why Celestia sent me there.

You look around and find no clues... Well except for the note on your chest.
Mana.
Sorry... Can't have you messing up my plan... That said in case it doesn't work... Gather a group of heroes from outside Equstria, and come back to fight. You should arrive in New York two days after I cast this spell on you.
-Celestia

"Couldn't you just have said 'No thanks, my decision is final', or 'Just trust me on this one', like anypony else?" The red pony noted, shrugging. "Two days after... hmm. I wonder if things have been going according to her plan..."
Mana began looking around for newspapers, or some place or way to know news from Equestria. Something this big must have warranted an article or two, if any major part of her plan happened as she planned.

You find a jumbo screen in times square with a news program on.
"I'm standing here in Ponyville where the townsfolk have started rebuilding following the attempted coup by Tirek." Anderson Cooper says. "Luckilly the city was spared from destruction... Save Golden Oaks library which was obliterated in battle and magically replaced with this crystal palace that Princess Twilight resides in."

"Well, I'll be damned... Princess Celestia's plan worked!...", the red pony princess exclaimed, looking at the screen in surprise. "Nice. I hope everypony is fine... Well, thanks New York for while it lasted, but I gotta get back and see what's what."
She took flight, heading straight back home, flying as fast as she could.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 stones (Ef.) into Flight to fly at Speed 5 towards Ponyville. Will maintain until I make it there.
