[Harvey had wanted power. He'd acknowledge that. He felt useless and small here, unable to protect any of the people he cared about from anything. The last time something like this had happened, he'd been taken with barely a struggle, wielded against his friends like some kind of blunt weapon.
He remembered the feeling well, so when he encountered the Nightmares again, he held out against them for as long as he could. But, once again, he wasn't strong enough to make a difference.
No more of that.
For once in Equestria's history, this threat passes over Ponyville completely. Too many people he loves are there, and it would be pointless. Once he brings down the Princesses and takes their power for his own, he'll finally be in control of everything. No one is ever going to get hurt on his watch ever again. The magical music twisting through the streets of Canterlot is already doing a pretty good job of convincin' the locals to be his loyal little fans - if the Princesses aren't willin' to work with him, he's sure his growing number of followers can help him take the castle.]
