Asked Twilight, shocked. Tone asked flatly. Twilight had eventually stopped sobbing, her emotional wounds partially healed by the warmth handed unto her by the Mane 5. Once the locomotive had reached a complete stop, the duo disembarked, bypassing the station building before heading towards the Golden Oaks Library. In response, Dark Shroud, another of Chrysalis's officers, and one of the most experienced in her army stepped forth. "Oh Celestia, how are we going to fix this mess?" August 21, 2022 . Remember, I'll be staying in Carousel Boutique while I'm here, so if you ever need me, I'm here for you. "Shining, take four of your men and bring Luna to me. Tell me we didn't forsake innocent lives for a wedding". Applejack couldn't help but notice the way they were looking at her. We may either succeed and conquer Canterlot, or we may fail and be evicted once more, but once thing is for certain. Deciding to waste no further time, Shining made his move. It was my own darned pride that led me to abandon my loyalty. Unlike you, I would never leave Twilight unless the circumstances demanded it, but you.you were all so caught up in the wedding that it became all that mattered to you! "Darnit" Rainbow grumbled in annoyance. I only hope we can all come up with an apology sincere enough to save Twilight from her grudge against us, all of us You will also be in charge of drilling. You can still be angry at Twilight's friends, Shining Armor and Celestia, but not too much. Rarity quipped cautiously. Back at the castle, Princess Luna was holed up in her private quarters, furiously trying to win a game of Team Slayer on Halo 3's multiplayer, the game being set in the map Valhalla. a canterlot wedding. Aunt Celestia asked me to tell you that if you wish to seek a private audience with her, you are more than welcome to do so. I was left feeling alone and betrayed, believing the ponies did not celebrate my night like they worshipped Celestia's day. Also, we didn't just walk out on her. ", "Ok Twilight." Said Rarity. We'll let you in, but they are not allowed on this property!" That lesson was to never ignore the concerns of your friends, no matter how small. Only time would tell. Asked Granny Smith. Her Spartan was camped in the Forerunner building to the right of the crashed Pelican, armed with a sniper rifle. Finally, Luna cast the spell, and it encapsulated both Velvet and Night in two white bubbles filled with interlinking particles of magic. How are we gonna be friends with her again if we can't forgive ourselves?!". I want the new army to be deadlier than before. With that, Celestia was beaten. Honestly Luna, I can't explain it. ", "No Rarity, I haven't forgotten, but let me ask you this. Night moved closer to his wife, who leaned close to him in response. The ponies need a leader to unite them in this dark time, and I am more than willing to do just that. "Oh shut up!" Just please try to bring her around. I know I am guilty of nearly letting my subjects, my ponies meet their doom, I know I am guilty of nearly letting Canterlot be wiped off the face of Equestria, and I am especially sorry for betraying my student, who holds so much faith for me and has given everything to both ourselves and Equestria. Growled the commandant in annoyance. The Changeling Queen later returned to dispose of her by sealing her in the caves beneath the castle, so as to ensure she would not meddle with her plans again. ", "Exactly." Slowly, she walked into the kitchen, where Granny Smith and Big Mac were both waiting. Replied Velvet. "I don't know Luna. Night and Velvet leaned in close; whatever news he had was obviously bad. A heavy price to pay, perhaps not one more heavy than that of death, but it was still a loss that affected you deeply. But what was I supposed to do? Chrysalis had her enemies right where she wanted them, and it was all thanks to Twilight that this was possible. You may proceed with the mission.". With little hesitation, Shining followed Celestia through the doors, the guards saluting as she went. "Yes, Princess," said Twilight with concern. Eventually, she reached the door to her room and opened it. Captain Armor disowned her, stripped her of her title as Best Mare and banned her from the wedding, her friends walked out on her, and I.I said she had a lot to think about.". This day might never happen now at all Second, I kinda understand why everyone and Shining got mad at Twilight; they didn't know Cadence was Chrysalis, so they probably thought she was just insulting Cadence for no reason. The elephant in the room (Shining's betrayal of Twilight) seemed the obvious reason, but it was anypony's guess. "My magic torch has revealed to me that the leader of the Element Bearers, Twilight Sparkle, has returned to her home in Ponyville following a fallout with her friends, her brother and Princess Celestia, her mentor, feeling hurt and betrayed by all of the previously mentioned. Twilight was trying to warn you of an impostor, even if it meant making a bride cry. She was the Changeling Queen in disguise, and she was secretly preparing an invasion of Canterlot by her army. "Next stop, Ponyville! Surely one like yourself would have learned from their past mistakes. What he got instead was nowhere near what he was expecting: a hug. Shining knew his parents wouldnt take the wedding rehearsal incident and the invasion well but he knew they would have to know sooner or later, even if it meant him, Celestia and Twilights friends all getting another tongue-lashing for their actions, not to mention it would be the third time in total he got criticism over it. "That kinda goes without sayin' Princess" Replied Applejack. "Never. I can let myself out. ah' was crying last night because of something terrible that ah' did. How could you do such a thing?! The cowpony confirmed glumly. If you and Cadance hadn't intervened, there would have been no saving Canterlot. "Now I must return to the palace. Celestia could feel her gut twisting with guilt more and more. Furnishing the room was Celestia's wardrobe, a study where she kept endless amounts of correspondence, particularly from Twilight and her friends, a mirror as high as the tip of the alicorn's horn and a rather extravagant grandfather clock, designed using the wood from an oak tree to create a working celebration of the sun, which crowned the head of the clock. "But Princess, we can't just sit here and do nothing!" "I will not fail you.". Pinkie piped happily. "Using my magic, I have been able to observe the movements of our enemies. Like Twilight, Spike and Cadance before me, I find it hard to comprehend how you, along with Shining and the Element Bearers can dismiss the impostor's attitude as mere stress. "So, what was it you wanted to talk about? I don't think I can trust them again, not after that. As she did so, tears began flowing freely from her eyes. They will no doubt be complemented by cavalry and supported by archers from the castle's parapets. ", "Thank you Princess." I want to make up for my actions at the rehearsal.". "Has she lost her mind or something?!" "We all betrayed it. "Of course Princess." You're always welcome here.". ", "Understood Lieutenant. Stepping forward, she spoke with newfound determination. Eventually, Celestia got a hold of herself. The price you paid was one which I know very well caused you immense grief. With authority, the baby dragon approached the Princess of Love to state his business. The reality was obvious: While they thankfully hadn't signed their death warrants, Shining, the Mane 5 and Celestia had condemned themselves to this hell they were living. Despite being originally hesitant, Applejack quickly swallowed her sorrows and stepped up to the plate. ", "Shh, it's OK big sister." She was deep in thought, as well as misery. The look on her face was neither smiling nor frowning, but one of concern. ", "I'm not sure darling. May I come in?" Things did not go as hoped for Applejack and the rest of the Mane 5. Baggy eyes filled with regret, a weary expression, plus her mane and tail weren't very well groomed. After a while of walking, Spike eventually reached Twilight's quarters, where he saw Princess Cadance closing the door leading inside. Please calm down! With a sigh, she continued onward to Sugarcube Corner. Am I clear Snake Bite?". ", "I got called into a meetin' with Granny Smith and Big Mac. Luna spoke softly. Cadance and Rarity exchanged glances. Are you sure you slept well?". There was no known reports or rumours of a wedding or any other high-security event this time, according to reports from her spies, thus there wouldn't be a shield to deal with. Stepping up on the pedestal, Shining braced himself as the personnel present in the room began to look up at him. "Yes Aunt Celestia. FLASHBACK. Asked Rarity worriedly. That wasn't the reason she was here. With a look on her face that screamed "enough is enough", Celestia turned to Shining to issue orders. ", "Anything to preserve the welfare of my subjects." The hour is nigh. Celestia please help us.". I know we did try but it's just not enough. Bowing to his queen, Blade departed the hall, leaving Snake Bite alone with Chrysalis. Takes place during A Canterlot Wedding. Now that she had a man in charge of drilling and equipment, she needed somepony to command the home defense. "Hi Cadance. "Good morning girls. Twilight Sparkle grapples with her conflicted feelings when she finds out her brother, Shining Armor, is marrying Princess Celestia's niece, Princess Cadance. Yet another price had been paid for their mistake, and one that was very, very costly. She was failing to find words to counter Spike's arguments. With those words, Twilight melted into Fluttershy like ice over a warm fire. They were perfectly content to leave me to fade out of existence like I was nothing to them, and then, after risking my neck once more to save both you, them and Equestria, they expect me to put together the wedding?! In fact, she looked about the same as Pinkie. "That will not be necessary." We must catch the train". ", "I failed the Element of Generosity because I was not generous enough to show you that I still cared about you." "Yeah Spike, I was. "I'll talk to her first Rarity, let her know you all feel terrible for what you did and you want to apologize. She was glad there was still somepony loyal to her. Her throne possessed the ability to channel the love from her prisoners into her body, giving her extra magic power and increased strength, a much needed boost considering the toll Cadance and Shining's spell took on her. ", "So you thought it was right to break the heart of "your most faithful student", betraying her trust in the process? However, despite her sureness Rainbow could not shake off the nagging of her conscience, which continued to question her loyalty towards Twilight. Now, do me a favour and try not to cry while I'm spying on you.". Now the former was definitely sure not everypony had a good night's slumber. For Twilight and Spike, it had felt like hours since they had left Canterlot for Ponyville, but in reality, it had only been a little over an hour and a half. In fact, it was because of Twilight that she was freed from the clutches of Nightmare Moon, a deed that truly won her sister's praise and gratitude. Can't you find it in your heart to give them another chance?". Trying to get Twilight to come around was not the reason she was there. That was when the two elder Apples understood Applejack's point. The Mane 5, with Cadance in tow, entered the main room of the library. Replied the four guards in unison, following Shining down the hall as he trotted ahead of them. Because of your foolishness, our dear Twilight will be lost. You fools, don't you know who I am? Twilight looked up at the door, which she had locked earlier after slamming it shut. Passing through the massive double doors that led to the junction connecting both sister's bedchambers, Celestia led Shining through the door on the right. Also, we did not know it at the time, but their leader, Queen Chrysalis, had managed to somehow infiltrate the city, taking the place of the bride after locking her in the Canterlot Caves.". asked Night with a hint of disappointment. As soon as they got into formation, they broke into a canter, making haste for Luna's private quarters. Said Chrysalis, her men following the command. Twilight sobbed harder, the group watching on in stunned silence. "Proceed Commander." Perhaps it is best we take no further action". Twilight had just reunited with her brother, who also happened to be the groom. In fact, I'm sure Shining and Celestia have realized just how badly they screwed up by now. The only question that lingered, however, was how long would that loyalty last? The part that struck them the hardest was when he scornfully scolded Twilight and cut her off from his life, Twilight's friends leaving her to melt into a puddle of misery and Princess Celestia stabbing the final dagger into her heart by saying what she said. Replied Twilight lovingly. "Son, if I were you, know this: I'd be thinking about the apology youll say to your sister when the time comes and youve plenty of time to do it. Fang stepped before Chrysalis, his eyes shimmering with anticipation. "Iknew Twilight trusted me. But the past is the past. "How typical of your lot, Chrysalis" Chortled the lead Guard, Defiant Aegis. Shining dug deep before finally letting it roll off his tongue. Do you remember the day I became Nightmare Moon?". They even issued the warning that if we fail to apologize to Twilight properly, then she may never forgive us again.". I have come here to undertake important business. I failed the Element of Kindness because I failed to show you any compassion. "Come on in Cady. You didnt even give Spike a chance to choose the wedding or her!, "Mom, please!" What is that?" We cannot attack until he says to. Gasped Celestia speechlessly. Taking a deep breath, Velvet braced herself. Trust me girls, I've known Twilight for a long, long time. Applejack could only look at her with a face that bore a very clear expression of horror. "But nonetheless. "Twilight has left the city with Spike". Following behind him was a sight that made the group tense up nervously. Pinkie chimed, albeit half-heartedly. The group cringed and groaned in unison as Rainbow hit the shield with a sickening thud, before sliding down to the ground. ", "Just a few scars" Replied Chrysalis. Shining Armor, in particular, was taking this harder than the others. Celestia couldn't say anymore, and Luna could see it. Just let it out" Cooed Candace softly, still dutifully caring for the filly she was entrusted with. Ever since that Nightmare Night when Twilight restored her relationship with the citizens of Ponyville, Luna knew and recognized the fact that Twilight was nothing short of respectable, honorable and a true friend, deserving of everything she had achieved to this point. She had a job to do, and that was to ensure the Nightmare Forces could not corrupt the souls of Night Light and Twilight Velvet, who had suffered enough just to know not only was their daughter betrayed and treated like a common criminal, but she could very well have died in an unmarked tomb which nopony even knew of. "Attention everypony! That is what Shining told us when he came here, and it is the reason Velvet and I are so furious. I believe that Twilight's parents should be informed of these events as soon as you are finished.". ", "There is blind loyalty, Rainbow, and then there is experience. "And just how did all y'all betray Twilight?" Rarity moved to comfort her. This make the pink alicorn smile warmly. Tears began to flow from their eyes and everything, but most importantly, the last word had fallen to Twilight. "We appreciate your service. "Don't you get it?! Celestia could feel another slash tear through her heart as Luna hit her with another telling question. For all intents and purposes, this felt like an interrogation, and probably the most painful and harrowing encounter she had to deal with yet. Celestia screamed in her Royal Canterlot Voice as she woke. ", "No ma'am. However, Blade ordered Snake to hold position for a little while longer, so as to not make things seem suspicious. "But goodness me, you look terrible. SubStar "I will not leave anypony to fall victim to the same force that once held me, certainly not this night, nor any other. "The poor mare must be a mess in there.". Chrysalis delayed her response, taking a moment to ponder the plan. Rarity opened the bakery door to find what looked like the twisted body of Rainbow Dash lying in a grave she had dug herself, not to mention it wasn't exactly a neat job either. There was a brief pause as Spike registered what he had just heard. Twilight also wished me to inform you that she and Spike will be returning home as soon as they are done packing. "Hi girls." "Twilight, I'm here to say sorry for leaving you at the rehearsal. I will run Canterlot into the ground, even if it takes my life.". As the pink alicorn stepped inside, Twilight's heart melted at the sight of her face. Ah' have experienced many things both great and terrible, but what y'all did is the worst thing I have ever heard in my life, and that's sayin' a lot. You know what we want, and if you do not surrender, then we will happily walk over you and anypony else who stands in our way to get it". All you cared about that whole day was playing with the wedding cake decorations! Finished Barbarousis. They had spent the time chatting, while idly wondering where Applejack was. Tell her I will seek an audience when the time is right.". "Well, things happened, concerning a few ponies including mahself, Twilight and the other girls. ", "Canterlot nearly fell, because of the collective incompetence of myself, Captain Armor and the Element Bearers. In his hands he held his top hat. I wasn't comfortable with leaving her, but I didn't want to be cast out of the wedding either! "We're nearly there girls. With that, Twilight galloped back upstairs, utterly offended. As you know, my job as the Princess of the Night is to watch over my subjects as they sleep, and ensure their dreams do not cause them distress or harm. She's first skeptically about meeting new people, but when she discovered the magic of friendship, her life becomes a little happier. Sorry I'm late. "Oh mah" Said Applejack, horrified. "The wedding's been called off", said Shining, trying to keep a straight face. Meanwhile, Rarity had managed to pull herself together. Once our specialist crack team in Ponyville captures the Princess of Love, we will proceed with the attack by coming out of disguise and making our way toward the castle while dispatching any resistance.". "I'm sorry Rarity, but it seems Twilight was right. There was no doubting it; his actions had inflicted severe damage on their relationship, damage that had clear knock-on effects as demonstrated by Cadance and Spike. Said the youngest Royal Guard, a rookie by all appearances. Together, Chrysalis and her ragtag, yet respectable strike force hurried to the village, intent on razing it to the ground. ", "However, for as long as you remain bitter toward those responsible for her emotional trauma, then you will remain susceptible to corruption. One could even say Twilight loved Celestia just as equally as she loved her mother. "You see, while my sister did care for me, and while my subjects worshipped me in equal measure, Celestia was the only one between us who witnessed the ponies celebrating her day and singing her praises. The skin of a killer, Bella!": sparkly vampire skin hits the runway at @DIESEL Autumn/Winter . There was no trusting the girls, considering the magnitude of what they had done to Twilight at the rehearsal, but it remained to be seen if there was any credibility in their desire to apologize, and even if their apology was solid enough to prove their remorse. "Of course your highness. To complicate matters, nopony knew the truth at the time, so by a technicality Twilight was as much at fault as the girls were. Meanwhile, Luna was first to break the ice between herself and Celestia. Then, there was an explosion; the spell was completed. "Yes sir!" Applejack had nothing else to say. "Pack your things Spike. It is because of this that I understood why she was your student. "Indeed she did, your Majesty." I'll never leave you Twily" Said Cadance soothingly. It left a horrible panging feeling in her heart as once more, the magnitude of her and the girl's collective actions hit home. "Of course we did!" Twilight's brother and Celestia also walked out on her, which left her emotionally devastated. Yelled the lead Royal Guard. "Your Majesty, I wish to inform you of an attack on one of the settlements outside the city. "So, what's the plan?". His attention soon returned to the royal sisters, who were just finishing up Luna's interrogation. However, teams of my pegasi will dive bomb the Guards and engage them from behind, allowing our troops to move in and finish them off. This had left them both hurt and furious, emotions which Luna knew full well would suppurate and fester within their souls. Cried Cadance, but it was too late. "In the event the second echelon goes rogue, our Changelings will enclose and crush them, while hunting down any stragglers. May I come in?". It didn't take long for Velvet to catch on either. "Girls, remember what you learned. Trotting through the castle's long and myriad hallways, he finally came across Celestia's private study, guarded by two of his men. Meanwhile, Applejack had woken up from a deep slumber. Replied Twilight, who lay down on her hindlegs as she crossed her forelegs under her head. Shining Armor had left you. It's not like she didn't make that clear after we defeated Chrysalis" Added Rainbow in annoyance. Now ah' know it may seem pointless to be getting upset about trashed muffins, but the point ah'm making here is that the real Cadance would have loved what we did for the wedding. Nightshade! The first group is to form patrols with the orders to comb the city for any Changelings that may be still in the city. "Following your departure to oversee the wedding rehearsals, I was manning the watch as usual, until Cadance flew up to me. Then it hit him. Just then, the conductor called out from the middle carriage. "Do you understand now why Twilight is so upset girls? Yelled both commanders as their forces clashed. Perhaps the word "Twily" sparked connotations between Twilight and the memory of her brother banishing her. Replied Pinkie, trying her best to make her reply sound genuine. It was still clear within the depths of her mind; how harsh her brother was toward her, and how her so-called friends thought it right to walk out on her with no sign of pity or consolation. It was clear what she had planned now that she'd taken her revenge on Twilight; for straight ahead, perched on the side of the mountains and lit by the evening sun, was the capitol city: Canterlot. "Ok men, engage your disguises. MLP: FiM. To support them, specifically assembled and equipped pegasi teams will also dive bomb the castle in an attempt to defeat the two princesses, Celestia and Luna. Her focus instantly derailed, Luna had little choice but to let her guests enter. I understand why you are upset.". Those who escape into enemy territory will be left at their mercy. Fortunately enough for the elite Changeling spy, he did not have to wait long as around the same time Twilight and company had embraced each other in a hug, Blade soon reported back via telepathy. However, despite the fact her mind was still full of memories of what happened in the library with Twilight, she was determined to put it behind her and focus on the task at hoof; reconciling with Twilight using whatever means necessary. And in the process, the seven ponies whom she held dear, particularly her brother, showed their true colors. In a sudden rush of sheer and profound joy, Twilight's suspicions about the Fake Cadance were finally cemented with her discovery of the real Cadance, because if she were wrong about Fake Cadance being evil, trying to defend her case would be a foal's gambit. Before Pinkie could finish speaking, the girls heard a loud thump outside, followed by the sound of something being dragged through mud. One did not, and that was Rarity. Art Chat Fanfiction General Discussion Generals Pony Discussion Roleplaying Site and Policy Tagging Discussion Uploader Discussion Post Search. The Nightmare Forces feed off negative emotions, such as the two I just mentioned. "Next stop Ponyville!" For the fourth time in a row, silence fell over the room as the Mane 5, Shining Armor and Celestia looked at Cadance in shock and horror. The girls could only look at her with frank expressions. Captain, may I talk to you in private?". ", "We also failed our Elements." 1-2. friendship is magic 3. the ticket master 4. applebuck season 5 . I like this plan. "Yes Fluttershy, you really were that cruel to her. ", "Thank you your Majesty." princess twilight ts - twilight sparkle rd - rainbow dash ry - rarity aj - applejack fs - fluttershy pp . "We're waiting for Applejack and Princess Cadance. Rarity, I'll meet you at Carousel Boutique.". "Yes sir!" The Nightmare Forces possessed my body, transforming me into the devil known as Nightmare Moon. The difference here was that while Twilight was wronged, Spike was as much part of this disaster as Princess Luna was. Yelled Rainbow, who proceeded to charge the shield at lightspeed. Nothing could get past the stony hardness of her gaze, but the worst of all? Still, that is not the reason you summoned me.". Replied Shining sadly. Rarity had awoken from her sleep, groggy but quite well-rested. Chrysalis turned to look at the pair, before returning an affirmative nod to Blade. Granny Smith mused. Twilight quizzed. ", "But they shouldn't be here in the first place Cadance! "Eeyup, there ain't nothing in Equestria that's going to break this shield." The Changelings could just walk right in, disguised and completely invisible to the ponies' eyes, and then strike when the time was right. ", "Yeah, we screwed up big time." With that, Spike went back inside, the doors closing behind him. Cadance could do little more than stroke her mane with a free hoof while trying to soothe the unicorn with comforting words. DId you not realize the potential ramifications your actions could've had on her? Raider! Many of the city's buildings were damaged in the fighting, particularly by Changeling pegasi divebomb attacks, and much of the populace was displaced in the chaos. After a long moment of silence, Fluttershy managed to speak the question that hung on everypony's minds.
