Why hath you summoned me before you? Chuckled Chrysalis, entertained by Spark's determination. ", This made Cadance lower a brow in question. They would act as a second echelon, coming in from behind to support the main force. Shining Armor had left you. However, that was the least of her concerns. But when it was my turn to wake..they were nowhere to be found. It didn't take long for Rarity to put two and two together; Rainbow was asleep when she crash landed, and now she was only just waking up. "I see somepony is eager!" "He is the captain of the Canterlot's Royal Guard" explain Twilight. 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. By the Creator, was Shining right when he guessed this wasn't over. "Uhh, Pinkie, that isn't entirely the case". "Anyway, shall we get onto discussing the plan?". Within hours, the village was ablaze, and Chrysalis and her Changelings, with their prisoners in tow, proceeded to return to their hive in the mountain range known as the Black Widow's Peak. May I come in?". ", "No problem Cadance." "Beautiful? The lavender unicorn looked at him, having snapped out of her trance. "You need not explain to me why you and them are here. She was brought here to answer questions, and it was under those conditions that she decided to relent. "With pleasure sir!" The Royal Guard was out and about, not only patrolling the streets to find and arrest any Changeling stragglers, but to assist with repair and resettlement efforts. 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. A redo of MLP: Sleeping Twilight Sparkle. Aside from that, there's nothing else to report. She knew Celestia had bad news for her, but this was beyond anything she had imagined. I just didn't think that what I did would hurt her so badly. Twilight looked at Spike with a frank expression. Now at the time, we didn't know that she was a fake, so we thought Twilight was being mean. ", "I like your thinking Snake." He couldnt bear to think of it any longer but he wanted to get it over with so they can quickly make amends to his own sister, the Element Bearer's best friend and Celestia's student they all scarred for life.Still, they had to know, so Shining knocked on the door and it opened to reveal his father Night Light. The answer seemed glaringly obvious; Chrysalis had magicked Luna to sleep, before taking her back to her quarters to make it seem as if nothing had happened. "I cannot hold my tongue any longer. ", "Thank you Princess." If you and Cadance hadn't intervened, there would have been no saving Canterlot. "Princess, we have brought your sister as you requested.". Replied Rarity, who was still consoling the broken and remorseful Applejack. Believe me, I spent a lot of time with her when she was a filly, and she would never do something like that without good reason. The walls, floor and roof were cast marble, a red carpet stretching from the door to Celestia's bed, equally an impressive sight as the room itself. ah' was crying last night because of something terrible that ah' did. "And any enemy that attacks us will have free reign to wreak havoc." All passengers, the next stop is Ponyville!". We're both aware of how badly her friends, Shining and Celestia emotionally damaged her, but how is it she was not taken by them? "Yes ma'am." Shining expected Celestia to begin talking, but instead the solar alicorn rose from her perch before motioning to the stallion to accompany her out of the study. "Darnit" Rainbow grumbled in annoyance. With those words, Twilight melted into Fluttershy like ice over a warm fire. Lesson Zero was the first thing that came into their minds, a testament to the weight of their collective failure. You're no fool. Stepping up on the pedestal, Shining braced himself as the personnel present in the room began to look up at him. The group was nearing Ponyville, and Cadance knew it was time for them to get ready. She has enough on her hooves without us being attacked.you may cast the spell Princess. "You really are my best friend Spike. Hah! "In the event the second echelon goes rogue, our Changelings will enclose and crush them, while hunting down any stragglers. Angel tried his best to comfort her, not knowing the reason behind his master's sorrow. With a sigh, she chose to come clean. Rarity was the only one who was sleeping the easiest of them all, but only because she had managed to maintain her composure. "I don't think there's much we can do Shining. "Rainbow!" ", "What place would that be Snake?" Unfortunately, in his haste to leave, he wasn't prepared for what came next. "Sergeant, Lieutenant Blade has given us orders to billet here for the time being. Indeed, it was rock solid. Meanwhile, Luna was first to break the ice between herself and Celestia. As for Shining, he felt it was best Celestia was informed of this development. I can let myself out. Instead, it was a case of "had". The tale that Celestia was spinning before her was intriguing her more and more. ", "That's OK Rarity. "So, what was it you wanted to talk about? "No Granny Smith. "What is it honey? asked Velvet, feeling concerned. But if there's anything wrong darling, just talk to me, alright?". Added Rainbow. To make me be Celestia's attack dog again?!!". With that, Fang departed the throne room, but not before bowing to Chrysalis, who prepared to issue the day's final orders. Only time would tell. I'm sorry if this interrogation caused you any inconvenience. Takes place during A Canterlot Wedding. "Oh Cadance" Sobbed Twilight, who embraced the former in a hug. Cadance headed back to the library to help Twilight and Spike cool off, Rainbow went back to her cloud house in Cloudsdale, the mission to repair the broken bond with Twilight stuck firmly in her mind. Concerned for his princess, Shining tried waking her up. Cadance replied calmly. Follow us With little hesitation, Shining followed Celestia through the doors, the guards saluting as she went. Stay tuned! I have also informed my parents of Twiley's situation.". Once that is done, my unicorns will then teleport into the castle en masse, where they will begin to harvest the Princesses' love simultaneously, so as to increase their powers and give them extra strength in close combat. "Pleaseplease don't leave me" Whimpered Twilight, still suffering from the intense effects her memories were forcing upon her. "Oh Spike, how could I not forgive you?" "And that's why all this has happened." "That kinda goes without sayin' Princess" Replied Applejack. This time, she would show no mercy. "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. Alkaios! Accidents do happen. The latter looked back up again, her stony facade pulled down to reveal the same broken mare they had last seen in the wedding hall. "Girls, tell me Twilight wasn't right. Stepping inside the library, she made herself comfortable. I wasn't going to let them go, so I chose to betray my best friend in favour of a bug. "I'm fine Spike. However, it is not just her friends who had failed Twilight. Twilight dashed through the halls of the castle, passing by several Royal Guards, servants or guests. It ain't right of a princess to do something as foalish as a hoofshake." ", "Shh, it's OK big sister." What gives you the divine right to lecture us when you are guilty of the same sins?!" Do you remember the day I became Nightmare Moon?". ", "Anything to preserve the welfare of my subjects." Growling with intense menace, Chrysalis looked around her in order to find something to tear apart. "But goodness me, you look terrible. "Last night, Big Mac heard y'all crying harder than a timberwolf who had both legs cut off.". "Go now Snake Bite. Replied the lieutenant happily. With that, Cadance gently closed the door behind her. distant, and to make matters worse, she cannot rest for fear of a dream that she cannot remember. "We weren't going to let Twilight be demoted back to Magic Kindergarten just like that! "We won't leave you ever again.". She loved them all very dearly, which explained the great pain she was feeling. Twilight also begins to suspect that . Replied Shining without hesitation. Almost instantly, Blade returned to the throne room, always ready and eager to serve his queen. ", "I just came to see how you were after yesterday. Twilight sobbed harder, the group watching on in stunned silence. To Luna, that was both an outrage and a major injustice to the lavender unicorn, who had done so much for not only Equestria, but for them both. Just then, Rarity entered the building, the doorbell signalling the alabaster unicorn's arrival. It described how Chrysalis and her Changelings had attacked the village and completely incapacitated and harvested the Royal Guard garrison stationed there before setting the village's homes alight, capturing the residents and harvesting those who tried to resist. Celestia started tossing and turning, her hooves planting themselves against her temples. Thank you for the offer Rarity. ", "Yes ma'am. 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. Luna spoke softly. ", "No ma'am. So Twilight breathed into the small paper bag while the therapist casted more of her specialty magic on her to calm her down. In the aftermath of the wedding, Twilight has found that her friends have grown. Suddenly, a voice that sounded like Twilight ripped through the Princess's ears. If there was one thing the cyan blue pegasus was known for, it was stubbornness. "I'd love to. Only Rarity found the courage to say anything, but even she knew it would be feeble. Honestly Luna, I can't explain it. But most importantly, now they were ready to admit to the ponies of Canterlot they too were responsible for nearly letting the city fall to the Changelings, and now they were ready to do it with grace and humility. Spike was standing atop the stairwell, his face clearly marked with suspicion. "How are we going to get the message across with Twilight still mad at us? "Everypony calm down!" "Just who in the hay do you think you are Spike? As you know, we had received word of a threat against Canterlot, which turned out to be true and more effective than we believed. But what she saw instead was a small settlement, complete with an equally small garrison of Royal Guards. "Equestria becomes defenseless." Added Shining, the proverbial dots joining together as he spoke. ", "Very good Commander Barbarousis. something they needed to rectify, and fast. "Iknew Twilight trusted me. Once more, the girls fell silent, unable to find an explanation for their actions. However, Cadance sensed there was something off about the shield. Hissed Shroud. You will also find me your finest spy. Chrysalis's threat was met with laughter from the Guards, angering her greatly. What are we going to tell Twilight?" Stepping forward, she spoke with newfound determination. "I am sorry, dear sister. That much was clear to the lot of them. "Take that back Twilight! Together, Chrysalis and her ragtag, yet respectable strike force hurried to the village, intent on razing it to the ground. "Hi girls." The yellow pegasus croaked tiredly. Still, her mindset was very much like Spike's; it remained to be seen if the Mane 5 regretted their actions at all, therefore now was the time to prove it. They were all suffering equally as bad as she was, and thus they had to be there for each other and for Twilight especially. 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. As for Celestia, even though her mane still billowed proudly from her scalp, she looked very forlorn and remorseful. 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. We must plan for a defensive operation in advance. "Well, there was the time Twilight went crazy about her friendship reports to Princess Celestia. For all intents and purposes, this felt like an interrogation, and probably the most painful and harrowing encounter she had to deal with yet. "We're nearly there girls. "Welcome back my Queen" Hissed Blade. One would expect her to take it maturely. Cadance sighed deeply. He had no idea that Chrysalis had imprisoned her in the caves, or that her life was in danger, but now that he did, it was taking a bad toll on him. Night and Velvet gently descended to the ground, their bodies embraced by Luna's inoculation spell. While she failed to break the shield, Rainbow had certainly gained somepony's attention as the doors to the treehouse balcony opened. "Why did I ever doubt her? That wasn't the reason she was here. If it was any consolation, however, he was able to channel that shame into willpower, and he intended to use it to do whatever it would take to find his sister. From her bedroom, the unicorn could be heard sobbing. What I'm asking is if you know Twilight did something wrong as well?". Replied the four guards in unison, following Shining down the hall as he trotted ahead of them. She was deep in thought, as well as misery. What do you mean Canterlot nearly fell?! Shining sighed deeply. Then, when she tried confronting the fiend openly, like indignant fools we chose to abandon her. Raider! "You may see her, young Spike, but take heed. She understood that Cadance was trying to play peacemaker, but the odds were against her, and the Mane 5 too. Turning to the girls, she decided to test them, in order to prepare them for what they were about to face. ", "First thing's first though, I should probably go check on Twilight, make sure she's OK. As for you girls, you should probably go home and get some sleep. Merciless, unforgiving, unwilling to spare even the smallest quarter. It was supposed to be the happiest day of his life since the day he had met Cadance. The first step will be to attack the Hive, and therefore we must set up a home defence. I want the new army to be deadlier than before. Bracing himself, Snake Bite cued to Chrysalis he was ready to receive the intel. The dreadful events of the rehearsal were still eating away at her heart, not least that of Shining or any of the other parties involved in the fiasco. I only hope we can all come up with an apology sincere enough to save Twilight from her grudge against us, all of us "Luna, guards, I wish to talk with Captain Armor alone. "Ok girls, I trust you are all aware Twilight will not be pleased to see you?". "Proceed" Answered the Guard, who proceeded to open his door to the study. 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. ", "Lady Velvet, Sir Light, the reason I am here is because of your aura.". ", "No Luna. "The wedding's been called off", said Shining, trying to keep a straight face. "Hunter! However, Sharp Fang, who was also present in the war room, raised a matter which would have concerned the Changelings, were the situation any different. "My story is not so different to Twilight's, Lady Velvet. ", "I failed the Element of Loyalty because I did not stand by you when it was needed most." Now the former was definitely sure not everypony had a good night's slumber. 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. Snake grinned. This site and its contents are not affiliated with Hasbro, Inc. The two princesses stayed close so that one could be there for the other in times of distress, but for now that was not to be as Luna was monitoring reconstruction efforts down in the city. It was only now that everypony in the castle had learned of the caves, and ever since, Celestia had sent a scouting party of Royal Guards to investigate them, in order to find out how Chrysalis had managed to imprison both Cadance and Twilight in them, while taking measures to ensure they are never used in such a manner ever again. I need to check with Twilight. The finest spy in my intelligence corps.". "Yes Aunt Celestia. "It's Spike. With that, Luna walked out the household door, before spreading her wings and taking off into the darkness, the moon (which she had lifted prior to flying to the Sparkle family home) lighting the way ahead. Those who tried to resist were quickly incapacitated and harvested. My Little Pony Friendship is Magic What If? "Please don't leave me." "Next stop Ponyville!" Behind him, the door closed and locked again, sealing him away from the outside world. "I guess I didn't sleep well last night. Spike barked firmly. ", "It is a good plan, Commander." Did you, all of you, forget that Canterlot was under threat of an attack?!". Your capability to write off somepony's feelings as mere folly is of no surprise to me, considering it was what happened between us long ago, but in these circumstances I find it particularly hard to believe you could write off your student, the one pony besides me whom I know you care very dearly for and trust implicitly, as a jealous and overpossessive brat. Please, you must believe me. Shining dug deep before finally letting it roll off his tongue. She was cornered, and it could have been any more obvious to her. There wasn't a hint of delight or joy traceable on her face or in her soul. Finally, Luna cast the spell, and it encapsulated both Velvet and Night in two white bubbles filled with interlinking particles of magic. "You are dismissed. Worse still, and we did not know this at the time either, but the impostor returned and sealed Twilight in the caves below the castle. Over-eager rookies were normally all it took to detonate a powder keg of tension. Luna gasped again. For once, she could take a moment to truly feel the atmosphere in the room, the strongest layer being Twilight's anguish and rage during her outburst, which brought forth the revelation that she could have died due to her rejection by her friends and family that fateful night. The escort stopped just a few metres away from the Sun Princess, allowing Shining to step forward to address her. "Hello Twilight." Knowing that there was no escape, he took a deep breath and made his decision with a heavy heart. Trotting through the castle's long and myriad hallways, he finally came across Celestia's private study, guarded by two of his men. With that, Spike began marching out of the room, tearing off his tuxedo as a symbolic reminder of the corruptive power of the wedding. ", "Very well. 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! "The wedding did go ahead, with Shining absolutely under the Changeling Queen's grip. By: Black Kyurem. She was still listening, despite this. With a look on her face that screamed "enough is enough", Celestia turned to Shining to issue orders. "I.Oh Luna.I don't know why we left her. Well, when on that Nightmare Night I tried to connect with my subjects, it was Twilight who helped me to become more down-to-earth and kinder to my subjects than before. Rarity added. You can still be angry at Twilight's friends, Shining Armor and Celestia, but not too much. The pink alicorn could tell this shield was no ordinary shield spell. The battle was ferocious. For Celestia and the Mane 5, this was very grave news. Before him, the girl's faces were clear expressions of shock and dismay, so too was Cadance's. "Aunt Celestia, Twilight wishes me to inform you that she is no longer your student. Try not to look suspicious. Applejack wasn't the only one who betrayed everything she stood for, we did as well. The reason he left lay largely with popular choice, and that was to just leave Twilight to think about what she had done. On the other hoof, I can imagine how glorious victory will be when we storm the gates of Canterlot, and it is all thanks to you that this is possible! The army is in need of replenishment. Not only was this the most important moment of the Mane 5's lives, but it was quite possibly the most important moment in Equestrian history. The train had now reached the midway point on its journey and yet, Twilight still did not feel at peace.
