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. That was it, there was nothing left to stand in her way. Barbarousis answered assuredly. "Pack your things Spike. Inside their carriage, the mood was quite grim. We will never-". ", "It wasn't just you that betrayed our friendship Applejack." Rarity quipped cautiously. "How are we going to get the message across with Twilight still mad at us? Applejack replied. He remembered meeting a pony a few days after he had was cured. "State your business." Four voices hummed in agreement. But they refused to believe it was anything more serious than wedding stress. Things were building to a climax as Celestia's eyes and teeth clenched tighter and tighter with every passing second. From the shock she felt when Shining disproved everything she thought she knew about Fake Cadance before stripping her of the role of Best Mare and even the privilege of being at the wedding, to the horror and abandonment she felt when all five of her friends, even Spike, walked out on her with their eyes closed and their faces morphed into indignant frowns, to the utter pain and heartbreak she felt when Celestia stabbed her with a verbal dagger. Page generated in 0.03 seconds In fact, let her know that if she wants an audience with me to gain her trust, I would be more than happy to meet with her. For now it was just Twilight, huddled in a warm embrace with those she loved and held dear. 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. "My Changelings, the time is ripe. The Changelings bowed to greet their queen, before casting hard and menacing looks upon the line of prisoners that were marched inside. With that, Spike began packing his things. Go ahead. Stepping inside the library, she made herself comfortable. "After all, we need you to lead the Elements of-mmph!". Asked Applejack. We both know Cadance is capable of taking on any responsibility with the same good grace and warmth she is so blessed with. I have a job for them.". It is because of this that I understood why she was your student. We'll let you in, but they are not allowed on this property!" Answered Pinkie, her voice, for once, devoid of any jubilance. You must let me go with Cadance. What he got instead was nowhere near what he was expecting: a hug. Adventure. ", "I understand." May I come in? Once the locomotive had reached a complete stop, the duo disembarked, bypassing the station building before heading towards the Golden Oaks Library. The aura around the room and the three ponies inside it shattered to pieces like a sonic boom. "Shining Armor, how could you be so unspeakably cruel to your own sister?! We make for the Everfree. Two wrongs never make a right and when I say that, I meant it doesnt matter how out of order Twilight was when she confronted the queen. Velvet and Night looked at each other in surprise, before returning their gaze to Luna. "Instead, I let the glamour of being a bridesmaid and the excitement of doing a Sonic Rainboom go to my head. After being laid down gently on the floor, the blue pegasus came to. That would mean telling his mother and father, Twilight Velvet and Night Light, of the events that had transpired since the rehearsal, and by the Creator, they would not take it well. Beside him at the war room table was Commander Alkaios of the pegasi, and Commander Maugrim of the unicorns. Twilight needs us, and we're getting to her one way or another!" Everything we had been through together, all those friendship lessons we had learned, we threw them out the window as if they were trash. Replied Shining, equally as sorrowful. Each and every sob that Twilight sobbed made Cadance shake a little, but still she held onto the unicorn for all she was worth. Just make sure you knock before entering.". Perhaps she had been a bit too scathing in her criticism of her sister. What gives you the divine right to lecture us when you are guilty of the same sins?!" 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. She knew Celestia had bad news for her, but this was beyond anything she had imagined. Deadpanned Applejack. "What is it you want?" I want you to go to Ponyville to keep an eye on the meeting. ", "Very well. The price you paid was one which I know very well caused you immense grief. Hoping that Celestia might help him, he turned to her for answers. As she did so, tears began flowing freely from her eyes. "Well, why would she do it? Unfortunately for Luna, she would be proven right as the group approached the throne room. He didn't stay with Twilight not because he willingly chose to leave Twilight to wallow in her misery. Replied Twilight, who headed back inside. "Ok Twilight, I understand. Would you care to stay with me for the time being?". 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. "I did not let her down Luna. "So, what's the plan?". Once more, the girls fell silent, unable to find an explanation for their actions. "Good morning girls. Spike took it to mean Twilight rejected his request, until he heard the door unlock. "What do you mean your Majesty?" "Princess Luna? ", "That's OK Rarity. Merciless, unforgiving, unwilling to spare even the smallest quarter. Smiling evilly as she watched the villagers flee for their lives, Chrysalis gave her troops the command they had fought for. Among them was the only General in the entire officer corps, a rank befitting his position as the top commanding officer, and his name was so fearsome and infamous among ponykind that even the toughest of them could not speak his name and remain unafraid. With those words, Twilight melted into Fluttershy like ice over a warm fire. ", "No problem Cadance." It bore one of her greatest and most nostalgic hallmarks; a caring, sympathetic smile. ", "Take as much time as you both need Spike. The pink alicorn was hoping for a better outcome than the one which had transpired. "Prepare yourselves.". Twilight barged into the rehearsal and accused..well, you, of being evil with no proof to back up her claim. Follow us Growling with intense menace, Chrysalis looked around her in order to find something to tear apart. ", "However, for as long as you remain bitter toward those responsible for her emotional trauma, then you will remain susceptible to corruption. Everything she had been through, especially the part where Twilight drilled the thought of her untimely death into her head, had finally caught up with her. Asked Twilight, shocked. Those who gave themselves up were spared harvesting, but were taken prisoner. As my most trusted lieutenant, I am sure you will not fail me. "Ok men, engage your disguises. The first, she imagined, would be giving her a gift of a simple, but beautifully made dress. With a "mmph" of configuration, she smiled at Luna once more. Back in the wedding hall, there was little more than seven ponies with the responsibility of Canterlot's invasion laid on their shoulders, a baby dragon devastated by Twilight's revelation, while also disgusted at his own reaction to the lavender unicorn's outburst at the wedding rehearsal. "Well.basically what happened is that Twilight was concerned about Princess Cadance, who was due to be married to our son, Shining Armor, at the time.You see Princess, the Princess Cadance that Twilight was so concerned about was not the real one. Even if she had managed to find an answer, it didn't matter anyway. She was crying tears of both despair and joy. Applebloom told me about it, y'all were attacked by the Changelings. As she began pushing down the right trigger using her magic, there were three knocks on the door. The army is in need of replenishment. Cadance, can you and the girls try talking to her? Said Rarity. Celestia had to face facts; everything that happened and everything that was going to happen was brought on by herself, Shining Armor and the Mane 5. "Is there anything we can do to make them realize we truly regret our mistakes?, I dont think so, I destroyed my familys honor because of my betrayal and our naivety. Did they really have the matter under control, or were they too caught up in the wedding to remember what was at stake? I have heard enough as it is from Twilight, Cadance and Spike even. "We're waiting for Applejack and Princess Cadance. ", "But they shouldn't be here in the first place Cadance! You doing OK this morning? Something snapped in Velvet's mind, and at once the unicorn bowed before the slightly bemused Luna. However, they were completely harvested. With authority, the baby dragon approached the Princess of Love to state his business. Fluttershy returned to her cottage and carried on her duties to her animal friends but all the while, she thought about Twilight and how much she had been hurt behind her and the others' backs. Same goes for Sergeant Tone and his men.". Only he knows why I grieve at this time, and therefore I request that we be given our peace. She must know that her resignation spells doom for Equestria and life as we know it". Asked Twilight from inside. "Beautiful? We may either succeed and conquer Canterlot, or we may fail and be evicted once more, but once thing is for certain. You may not be omnipotent, and on that matter, neither am I, but you of all ponies should know when something is wrong. In fact, I'm sure Shining and Celestia have realized just how badly they screwed up by now. Could this be the most important moment in our lives? With that, Spike began marching out of the room, tearing off his tuxedo as a symbolic reminder of the corruptive power of the wedding. But what she saw instead was a small settlement, complete with an equally small garrison of Royal Guards. The unicorn mare, bearing a mane almost similar to Twilight's, raced to the door to greet her son. ", "Canterlot nearly fell, because of the collective incompetence of myself, Captain Armor and the Element Bearers. Just then, Cadance walked into the bakery. "It'sIll fill you in on everything inside", said Shining as they went into the living room. Has Twilight ever been wrong about something before?". "I don't think there's much we can do Shining. Nodding in response, Cadance signalled to the Mane 5 for somepony to make a move. Chrysalis, on the other hoof, was not quite finished. They were supposed to have learned their lesson after the incident they dubbed as "Lesson Zero", but in truth, they had learned nothing. Shining was snookered, and he knew it. She acted nothing like herthe niece we know and love is warm, kind and caring, but the Cadance we saw at the wedding.she was so cold and distant. First off, when dawn broke over Canterlot, what happened when you left your post?". Standing before Chrysalis was a tall and thick stone gate, which opened immediately to reveal an equally tall iron portcullis. We hope you can forgive us.". Am I clear Snake Bite?". Any information she could get at this time would be of great assistance to figure out how this happened. Shining's actions had badly damaged their honor, something the family had proudly carried and improved from generation to generation. 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. I think I need to lie down". From her perch on the wall next to the gravity lift, she was awaiting any intruders from the red team to cross the mound in the middle, as well as either up the river or across the mound to the left. I knew I couldn't trust you, yet I let my merciful nature get the better of me! They are led by Cadance, the Princess of Love and their mission is to broker a renewed peace with Twilight. Shining could only hang his head deeper from the truth in her words. "Not at all darling." "Princess! Fluttershy whimpered anxiously. Her brother, Shining Armor, somepony she held very dear, disowned her before abandoning her in her hour of need. 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. Yet another price had been paid for their mistake, and one that was very, very costly. Something he couldn't quite put his claw on. I don't care how you do it, just get out of Ponyville, but only when we have Cadance. carey mulligan royal wedding. Just let it out" Cooed Candace softly, still dutifully caring for the filly she was entrusted with. Preceded by a chorus of gasps from the Mane 5, Spike turned to face them, his face contorted into one of outrage. ", "I did not forget!" I want the new army to be deadlier than before. Those who tried to resist were quickly incapacitated and harvested. Only Rarity found the courage to say anything, but even she knew it would be feeble. Chrysalis turned to look at the pair, before returning an affirmative nod to Blade. Prepare your troops for battle!". Universe. 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. See you.". "Following Twilight and the Element Bearers arrival at the castle, as well as the former's reunion with her brother and foalsitter, it was from that point that Twilight believed something was not right with the bride-to-be. In the aftermath of the wedding, Twilight has found that her friends have grown. As soon as they got into formation, they broke into a canter, making haste for Luna's private quarters. The cowpony confirmed glumly. The wedding hall was one of those scenes at the present time: the picture of purest sadness. "Oh honey! "Well, it's best that I start from the beginning..". Thus far, they had tasked their forces with the mission to raid every single one of Canterlot's outlying towns and villages, taking everypony residing in them prisoner and killing those who tried to resist, as per Chrysalis's new policy. "But Princess, we can't just sit here and do nothing!" Asked Granny Smith. "That is correct sister. "CHARGE!" "Well, if you're lookin' at apologizing a third time, it better be pretty darn good! As for the stallion himself, he and his officers were gathered in the castle's war room, where they were coordinating patrol routes, reconstruction efforts and new areas of temporary resettlement. All you cared about that whole day was playing with the wedding cake decorations! ", "Of course we do!" I think the best thing to do right now is to leave them alone until they had time to take in what I told them. ", "We didn't listen to her when she tried to warn us" Added Fluttershy "So we knew we had to do something to help her. Everything that happened.it's all stuck in my head and I can't get it out!". It was almost unfathomable, how far he had fallen from grace. After pulling herself together, Celestia took a moment to compose herself before speaking. She would reveal her true identity, before going horn-to-horn against Celestia. Yelled the lead Royal Guard. Applejack had nothing else to say. Much of Fimfiction's functionality requires javascript so we suggest you turn it on! After taking the moment to scratch the remaining figments of dirt out of her mane, she took a seat opposite Fluttershy. One did not, and that was Rarity. Instead, it was a case of "had". Twilight's head drooped sadly. Chrysalis made no response, physically or otherwise. She will be painted matte white and Celestia themed. "Iknew Twilight trusted me. May I come in?" I'm..I'm here to say sorry.". It didn't take long for Velvet to catch on either. It is with honest hearts that we apologize for abandoning you when you needed us most. Celestia will retaliate, and it will be her intent to destroy us as a force once and for all. Knowing that there was no escape, he took a deep breath and made his decision with a heavy heart. Replied Rainbow confidently. The girls were leaving you..what could I have done? Maintain your cover and I will report back when the time to attack is right. Spike was not finished yet. ", "Yeah, we screwed up big time." "I understand you are both angry because of a recent incident involving your son and daughter, plus her friends and my sister. Equestria needed Twilight back at the helm of the Elements, and this was probably the only chance they'd get to fix things. "Anyway, shall we get onto discussing the plan?". It was because of this her mind was made up already. And all this came from me feeling alone and abandoned, just like Twilight was.". Rainbow cut in. How it got the seven key ponies ultimately responsible for Canterlot's safety to drop every responsibility they had to the safety of the city in order to spend their time preparing for something as trivial as a wedding. "So, what was it you wanted to talk about? What I'm asking is if you know Twilight did something wrong as well?". Rarity added. Aegis's Guards stood to attention, poised to strike on his word. Before Pinkie could finish speaking, the girls heard a loud thump outside, followed by the sound of something being dragged through mud. ah' was crying last night because of something terrible that ah' did. ", "Understood Lieutenant. "Come on girls, you did well the first time. She had come to make sure the lavender unicorn had a good morning, and it looked like she had.

Thus, she decided to take it upon herself to talk things out with them. Cadance and Rarity exchanged glances. It never has and it never will, for as long as my heart beats, my brain thinks and my allegiance lies with you. I will ensure that the Sparkle parents do find peace, or may I be damned to Tartarus for my failure.". "Now, the spell should protect you from any attempt at intrusion by the Nightmare Forces. Replied Chrysalis. "Take as much time as you need. Once more Celestia felt her heart shatter, and this made her feel worse; she and the Sparkle couple had been great friends since the day after they first met, but when it was announced to them that Twilight was to become her star pupil, Velvet had immediate reservations as Twilight was so precious to her as well as Night. When we betrayed you, the connection between us as the Elements of Harmony was critically damaged to the point where they could not be used. Entire towns and villages had fallen mostly by his hoof alone, hence why Blade saw fit to pick him for this job. "I am sorry, dear sister. The Guard Captain immediately tried to calm down Celestia as best as he could. She has enough on her hooves without us being attacked.you may cast the spell Princess. Alkaios! At the moment, Twilight only trusts me and Spike, so it's better if I talk to her. "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 first step will be to attack the Hive, and therefore we must set up a home defence. "At ease." "She..she did what?" "Yes Luna. He was walking up to the throne that Princess Celestia was seated upon. She is a mare now, not a foal. Twilight also wished me to inform you that she and Spike will be returning home as soon as they are done packing. With an instant feeling of urgency coursing through her body, Luna was quick to acquiesce to Shining's orders. Only time would tell. "Uhh, Pinkie, that isn't entirely the case". If the damage wasn't so substantial, then the ponies in question would be allowed to return home. There wasn't a hint of delight or joy traceable on her face or in her soul. ", "Either way Son, you have shamed your family." A storm was crashing down upon the Black Widow's Peaks, rain as thick as glass soaking the jagged mountaintops. Twilight sobbed harder, the group watching on in stunned silence. Even though he was going to have his flank handed to him, the last thing he would ever do, under pain of death, was defy his princess. "On your hooves, quickly! All of this was still cooking up a storm deep in the annals of her mind, and there was little she could do to forget about it. Surely one like yourself would have learned from their past mistakes. Asked Twilight Velvet. What.why are you here? "Princess, you are aware Twilight isn't exactly innocent of her crimes either?" "Proceed" Answered the Guard, who proceeded to open his door to the study. It seemed for a moment she had the upper hand, until Chrysalis turned the tables and defeated her, an event which shocked us all.". Thank you for the offer Rarity. Applejack could only look at her with a face that bore a very clear expression of horror. After a while of walking, Spike eventually reached Twilight's quarters, where he saw Princess Cadance closing the door leading inside. Act 1 [Later, when Twilight and her friends are setting up for the wedding preparation before The REAL Canterlot Wedding begins] Twilight Sparkle: Seriously, though, I get why the Queen of The Changelings wanted to be with you, but how did you get someone as amazing as Cadance to marry you? While the Changeling Army may not have been ready to assault the city, the process of finding new recruits gave Skoula time to plan the next great attack. The elephant in the room (Shining's betrayal of Twilight) seemed the obvious reason, but it was anypony's guess. But in order to keep up appearances, she smiled warmly. Surely they won't allow themselves to be defeated as easily as last time! They now recognize that they made a terrible mistake and they wish to make amends however possible.". You fools, don't you know who I am? "Oh Spike, how could I not forgive you?" 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. "Let's go home Spike. "Twilight, it doesn't matter anymore. nfl open tryouts 2022 dates; liste des parc de maison mobile en floride; running 5k everyday for a month before and after; girls who code summer immersion program Knowing the Tartarus she went through, Luna felt that it would be wrong to leave them fall into the cold icy grip of darkness without so much as a hoof to pull them out.

A battle was on the rise, but before the already present hostilities could escalate, the two sides stopped just metres from each other. Deciding to waste no further time, Shining made his move. What is that?" However, her memories did not betray her. With a quick and curt bow, Snake Bite flew off to Ponyville. Go now and assemble the army. Barbarousis! We'll be waiting.". "Sorry Cadance. I just didn't think that what I did would hurt her so badly. This day should have been just perfect, The kind of day of which they dreamt when they was small. The pain in her heart had become too great. "And just how did all y'all betray Twilight?" Anypony who attempts to resist or to rescue her is to be dealt with immediately. "Of course ma'am." Cadance's face produced a frank expression. They followed behind her, closing the doors as they left. "Hi Cadance. "We heard the scream" One of the guards panted gruffly. "Why did I ever doubt her? Replied Luna. Spike roared, pointing a finger at the Mane 5 as he did so. "Is that my Shining Armor?!" Whatever Celestia wanted her for, it certainly wasn't anything light-hearted. "Princess, I'm curious. As Twilight and Cadence; the real Cadence; stop the 'wedding', Twilight turns into the new Nightmare Moon. How dare you lecture us on how to be Twilight's friends!". ", "Thank you Cadance. They had the matter well in hoof anyway, or so Applejack's pride, stubborn as ever, was trying to convince her. However, as enraging as that picture was, she was not here to condemn those responsible. Without them, they cannot corrupt a host, hence why Twilight did not fall victim to their temptations. "Equestria becomes defenseless." Added Shining, the proverbial dots joining together as he spoke. ", "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. The Princess of Love, accompanied by the other five Element Bearers were heading to Ponyville in order to mend relations with the lavender unicorn, leaving Canterlot vulnerable to attack. Despite being armed with weapons and armor, the Royal Guards were finding it tough fighting the vicious and determined Changelings. I only hope we can all come up with an apology sincere enough to save Twilight from her grudge against us, all of us 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? Luna spoke softly. Mused Rarity. You may proceed with the mission.". "Well, it happened during the wedding rehearsal. Applejack retorted. We must catch the train".
