During a routine customs inspection, Princess Twilight seized a shipping container full of illegal contraband - or at least that's what she wanted the rest of us to believe.

Whatever our wise ruler found inside was so incredibly dangerous, according to the postfacto report she delivered with mutterings about "national security," that nocreature else's eyes could be allowed to see it, and the shipment had to be destroyed immediately.

And she did mean immediately because there are few faster ways to completely, utterly, permanently, and irreversibly destroy something than throwing it on the all-consuming fire of alicorn metabolism.

As the nearest alicorn around and the principled pony she is, of course Twilight graciously "offered" the use of her body to eliminate this clearly very important threat to Equestria's citizens posthaste. How very selflessly noble of her, right?

...Right?

...

...Surely that's just the smile of an honest pony proud of a job well done... right?
