Description
Applejack is the Hand of the Princess, sitting the throne in her absence, hearing some disturbing news...This is very far from finished, now that I've mastered carving ponies out of wikia with the pen tool, I'll do a bit of research into (shading? shadows? exposure? i guess? i'll find out the correct terms soon...)
This is going to be the first panel of a crossover comic, although at the rate I'm going that won't show up for a while.
Some stuff I stole from other people: the knights are from TheGoldCrowOnDVD, ChryssieTa, 90Sigma, ChainChomp2, and a01421. The background is from theirishbronyx. Thanks y'all, I hope that's all right. If it aint, just holler at me and I'll axe it from the final draft. It seemed like it was OK, but I'm still figuring out the protocol of this whole thingy

Derpy: They burned...almost everything in Ponyville...Our fields...our businesses...our homes...They took our foals...then they...took them again...and when they were done...they covered them in pitch...and lit them on fire...
Twilight: Brigands, most likely...
Derpy: They weren't thieves...They didn't steal anything...They even left something behind...your highness.
Twilight: It's the Hoof of the Princess you're addressing, not the Princess. The Princess is...preoccupied.
Applejack: What did they leave behind?
(Cranky opens a bag of rotten apples)
Spike: Apples? The sigil of House Sweetapple. Isn't that Granny Smith's house?
Applejack: These raiders...Were they flyin' a sigil? A banner?
Derpy: No your...er...Hoof. But...the one who was leading them...Taller by a foot...than any stallion I've ever met. Saw him cut Mrs Cake in two...Saw him...take the head off Carrot Top with a single swing of his sword...all the while yelling 'Yeah!'
Spike: That sounds like someone we know...the Avalanche.
Applejack: Y'all describin' Ser Bulk Biceps.
Twilight: Why should Ser Bulk turn brigand? The stallion is an anointed knight?
Spike: I've heard him called House Blueblood's Mad Dog. I'm sure you have as well. My Lady Hoof...Can you think of any reason the Bluebloods might possibly have for being angry at your granny?
Twilight: If the Bluebloods were to order attacks on villages under the Princess's protection, it would be...
Spike: That would be almost as brazen as attacking the Hoof of the Princess in the streets of Canterlot.
Applejack: Ah cannot...give y'all back yer homes...or restore yer debt to life...But perhaps I can give you justice, in the name of our Princess Celestia. Lord Caramel, you shall have the command. Assemble one-hundred warhorses and ride for Ser Bulk's Keep.
Caramel: As you command.
Applejack: In the name of our Princess Celestia of the House Cosma, the First of Her Name, Ruler of the Unicorns and of the Pegasi and of the Earth Ponies, Lady of Equestria and Protector of the Realm, ah charge you to bring justice to the false knight, Bulk Biceps, and all those who shared in his crimes. Ah denounce him and attaint him. Ah strip him of all ranks and titles, of all lands and holdings, and sentence him to death.
Twilight: M-My lady...this is a drastic action...it would be better to wait for Princess Celestia's return.
Applejack: Grand Maestress Twilight, Master of Coin Spike, send a letter to Castingspell Rock. Inform Grand Duke Blueblood that he has been summoned to court to answer for the crimes of his bannerstallions. He will arrive within the fortnight or be branded an enemy of the crown and a traitor to the realm.

You're so perceptive!
Yes, that's exactly what I was going for. I wanted to make a whole comic based on that scene. I wanted to make a whole series of them lol but I soon realized it was way too much for me to handle
Anyway, you got it almost exactly right. This was the script I wrote for it:
(Wide)
D: They burned everything in Ponyville. Our fields...our granaries...our homes...
(Sad Cranky, sad Lyra, sad Vinyl with Octavia's tie draped around her neck, etc.)
D: They...took the mares... And when they were done, they butchered them as if they were animals.
(Derpy, traumatized Cheerilee Mr Cake)
D: They covered our foals in pitch...and lit them on fire!
(Twilight/Starswirl bored)
T: Brigands, most likely.
(D)
D: They weren't thieves. They didn't steal nothing. They even left something behind, your grace.
(T stern, AJ annoyed)
T: It's the princess's hand you're addressing, not the Princess!
(T waves hoof dismissively)
T: The Princess is partying.
(Vinyl magic dump bag green apples)
(Spike, quizical, twirl quill)
S: Green apples? The sigil of Big Macintosh.
(S whispers to AJ. AJ scowl)
S: Isn't that your brother, my lady hand?
(AJ)
AJ: These ponies, were they flyin' a sigil?
(Derpy, derp face, confused)
(AJ)
AJ: A banner.
(D)
D: None your...hand. But the one who was leading them, he had the head of a pony, but a body like no pony I've ever met! Saw him snap his claws, and all was chaos!
(S scowl)
S: Well, that sounds like someone we know. Discord.
(T)
T: Why should Ser Discord turn brigand? He is a friend of the crown.
(S)
S: I've heard him called Lord Tirek's Mad Dog. I'm sure you have as well.
(S aside to AJ smarmy)
S: Can you think of any reason Lord Tirek might possibly have for being angry with your brother?
(T S either side AJ scowling bandaged hind leg)
T: If Lord Tirek were to order attacks on villages under the Princess's protection, it would be...
S: That would be almost as brazen as attacking the Hand of the Princess in the streets of Canterlot.
T: Well...
(2 panels, AJ gesturing, D listening)
AJ: I can't give y'all back yer homes, or restore your dead to life. But perhaps I can give you justice, in the name of our Princess.
(AJ yell)
AJ: Lady Rainbow Dash!
(RD armor cape scars sombra war hair steps forward from guards)
(profile AJ l high on throne, RD r below)
AJ: You shall have the command. Assemble one hundred stout ponies and ride for Discord's Keep.
(RD salute)
RD: As you command!
(AJ tries to stand)
(AJ flinches)
(AJ stands w crutch)
(Looking up at AJ ominous)
AJ: In the name of Pinkamena of the House Pie, the First of Her Name, Princess of the ponies, the pegasi, and the unicorns, Crystal Empress, and Protector of Harmony,
(RD listening)
AJ: I charge you to bring justice to the false friend, Discord, and all those who shared in his crimes.
(Many panels, AJ grim, shocked S T, shocked courtiers, shocked Ponyville)
AJ: I denounce him and attaint him. I strip him of all ranks and titles, of all lands and holdings,
(AJ T springs up)
AJ: and sentence him to death.
T: My lady! This is a drastic action! It would be better to wait for Princess Pinkamena's return!
(AJ scowl T bow)
AJ: Grand Maester Starswirl.
T: My lady...
AJ: Send Owloysius to Tartarus.
(AJ)
Inform Lord Tirek that he has been summoned to court to answer for the crimes of his bannerman. He will arrive within the fortnight or be branded an enemy of the crown and a traitor to the realm.
(T holds head)
(AJ steps down)
(Spike fire scroll, surreptitious look to AJ)
(S follows AJ, travel down aisle)
S: A bold move, my lady, and admirable. But is it wise to yank the monkey's tail? Lord Tirek is richer than anyone in Equestria!
(S background, AJ dark foreground scowl)
S: Gold wins wars, not swords.
AJ: Then how come Pinkie's on the throne, and not Tirek?
